Longden Elementary Celebrates Relay Recess

Temple City

by Nanette Fish

On Friday, May 31, Longden Elementary School celebrated “Relay Recess” in conjunction with the Relay For Life of Temple City and the American Cancer Society.

Through this event, the stu-

dents became more aware of the need for cancer research and the funds to help this research.

Within the last several years, Longden has seen several of their students and staff stricken with cancer, and many of their families have been affected by cancer. This is the second year Longden has fielded a team in the Relay for Life. “Team Longden” is currently recruiting team members and are continuing their fundraising efforts.

The day started off with a school-wide flag ceremony.

Fifth grader and Team member Mark Erstad led the flag salute, and Jolynn MacDonald, CoChair of this year’s Relay for Life, explained what the Relay was all about (complete with props). In one of the most moving parts of the day, the entire student body and staff walked the first lap of the Relay together

to signify their support of cancer patients everywhere.

Throughout the day, students and staff made sure someone was walking around the field at all times. The students of Mrs. Wahbe’s fifth grade class took the time to research and create cancer awareness ribbons for relay participants.

Activity centers were also

available for students to sign two large banners supporting Leukemia and Lymphoma patients (the focus of Team Longden) and to decorate Luminaria bags for the larger Relay in July.

Mary Sneed, Captain of Team Longden, invites those interested in participating in the Relay for Life to register as a participant. Team Longden also appreciates any donations the community would like to make on their behalf on the Relay For Life website (www.relayforlife.org).

Congratulations to South El Monte and El Monte High Schools for their first place wins at SeaPerch earlier this month aboard the USS Iowa in San Pedro.

SeaPerch is "an innovative underwater robotics program that equips teachers and students with the resources they need to build an underwater remotely operated vehicle (ROV) in an in-school or out-of-school setting.

Students build the ROV from a kit comprised of low-cost, easily accessible parts, following a curriculum that teaches basic engineering and science concepts with a marine engineering theme. The SeaPerch program provides students with the opportunity to learn about robotics, engineering, science and mathematics (STEM), while building an underwater ROV as part of a science and engineering technology curriculum."

While the SeaPerch program has been implemented on the east coast, this marks its debut on the west coast

"The SeaPerch ROV is one of the Navy's signature outreach programs and the ultimate goal is to generate awareness and interest in

to complete their tasks.

South El Monte High School won the overall robot competition in two minutes and 35 seconds and El Monte High School the Overall

Teamwork Achievement Award for interview skills and teamwork.

More than 20 schools participated, including Arroyo High School. Each school had to have a teacher sponsor and at least five students to participate.

The teachers attended training sessions last year and had the opportunity to build a robot as part of their training.

Training expenses, as well as ROV kits and tools were covered by the Navy. Each school was allowed only an additional $20 of its own to the building of the robot. The student teams met regularly to prepare and build their ROVs and Tran made several visits to campus, even arranging for a female admiral to speak to the students.

"At the competition, the students were quick to make revisions to their robots after the one practice run and were provided supplies for repairs and revisions," said El Monte High School Principal Keith Richardson. "To see Sea Perch continued to page 10

Student's Corner Around Town

by Mavis Hansen Summer is finally here! Officially, Summer arrived on Friday, June 21, 2013. For many moms and dads too, it means kids being home from school and looking for fun things to do. Playing or just being in or near the water is always one of the most popular pastimes, especially when the temperature climbs toward the three figure mark. We are fortunate to be rather close to the ocean, along the coast where many public beaches are accessible. Sometimes we do not have transportation readily available or other reasons keep us from going to the seashore, but those close to the community of El Monte are fortunate to have a most beautiful, large, state of the art aquatic center located at 11001 Mildred Street, El Monte, California. The Aquatic Center is under the direction of the El Monte Parks, Recreation and Community Services Department. The aquatic center is known as the “Home of Olympic Champions, Lance Larson and Sandy Neilson”. (Sandy’s mom and dad still live in the City of El Monte and both are very active in the community.) Everyone should know how to swim! If you do not, or have children who do not know how to swim and need to learn, all types of lessons are available at the aquatic center, from very young, even 6 months, to senior citizens.

It’s never too late and for the older person can be a wonderful form of exercise. There is actually a continuous program that offers open recreation and lap swimming, held indoors, for individuals 50 years and over. There are so many different programs for those just learning, Intermediate or advanced swimmers, something for everyone. And for the really good swimmers, lots more fun by joining the Arrow Dive Club, A USA Diving team that offers coaching and competition in one and three meter springboard diving through novice, junior , Olympic and high school levels or the Sharks Aquatics Club , a competitive USA swimming team, offering instruction, training and physical fitness. The aquatic center is user friendly for the physically challenged. Wheelchair ramps with a water wheelchair, steps and a chair lift are available with friendly staff for those that require assistance. The Aquatic Center includes an indoor pool, outdoor pool, water slide, indoor therapy pool, multiple meeting rooms, large conference room and is a two story facility with showers, locker areas, storage bag rooms, restrooms and a snack bar.

For rentals or any further information please contact the Aquatic Center at 626-580-2213’ From July 8 – August 16, 2013 the City of El Monte Public Works Department is again running special Summer “Splash Bus” to provide Free Rides to the El Monte Aquatic Center. Monday’s bus service will be at Kranz Scholl and Mt. View Park, Tuesday at Baldwin Mini Park and Shirpser School, Wednesday at Zamora Park, Thursday at Cherrylee School and Lambert Park and Friday at Cogswell School and Fletcher Park. The Summer Splash Bus is free. All ages are welcome, kids under 8 years of age must have adult supervision. For additional information: El Monte Splash Bus at 626-580-2217 and the Aquatic Center at 626-580-2213.

Say It Another Way

Ashley Lanuza, contributing student writer from San Gabriel Mission High School.

by Ashley Lanuza

As I continue to meet new people, I start to realize that our culture has a tendency to over exaggerate. Phrases such as “I’m so hungry I can eat a horse” have integrated themselves into our society.

These expressions are generally acceptable, but a few statements, namely that of a serious medical disorder, should not be used to express emotions. Retardation and depression, among many others, are medical complications that are often used in a joking manner. However, “depressed” should not be used as a term for a tempo-

rary sadness. According to the Mayo Clinic website, it can lead to suicide, serious physical and mental fatigue, and other complications.

Depression isn’t a bout of temporary sadness over a frivolous situation, but a long-term illness that requires treatment; therefore, it shouldn’t be used to describe a feeling that is of lesser intensity. Moreover, calling a person “retarded” for making a mistake is uncalled for.

According to the website WebMD, “…mental retardation is characterized by below-average intelligence

or mental ability and a lack of skills necessary for dayto-day living.” If a person makes a simple mistake or an awful joke, it does not mean they are “retarded.” They simply made a mistake, like everyone else can make. It is an improper use of the name for a difficulty in life. Additionally, the remark “I’m so hungry, I could die” said by a well-nourished, first-world citizen is the most ignorant hyperbole I have ever heard.

There are people in our country who are malnourished and homeless. We live in a world where third-world

countries suffer with poverty, war, and illnesses that continue to hurt its people. A skipped meal or snack will not kill you; so survive a few more hours and be grateful for your next meal.

Using these words or anything similar is indirectly offensive to those who live with the indicated complication. They are serious conditions and problems in life that others have to live with.

The silent girl near you may have been suffering from depression for years, yet you say you are “depressed” because you didn’t get tickets

Abud “Bud” Casavi

Hog

October 31, 1927 to May 14, 2013

On May 14, 2013 longtime El Monte business owner Abud “Bud” Casavi, age 85, passed away after a brave battle with cancer.

Bud was born on October 31, 1927 in Bethlehem, Palestine. He moved to Haiti in 1948, where he ran a successful clothing business until 1959 when political unrest in the country forced him to leave. He continued his worldly ways, taking a job with his brother-in-law in Honduras, Central America. This is where he met Emma, the love of his life, whom he married in March 1963.

Bud and Emma honeymooned in both Mexico and Los Angeles, where they enjoyed the latter so much they decided to make it their new home.

Mr. Casavi was owner of Crawford’s Five Points

Liquor from 1977 until his retirement in 1992. Although retired, Bud couldn’t sit still

for long so he would come in a few times a week to help his children, who succeeded him in running the family business. He enjoyed the camara-

derie of his customers, always taking time to engage them in conversation and getting to know them on a personal level. This is a quality that endeared him to the community and left a lasting impression on those who knew him.

Although proud of his success at achieving the “American Dream,” Bud was most proud of his family.

His loving wife of 50 years, Emma, along with daughters Carmen, Claire, Gina, Margaret, and son Abraham (Judy), survive him. He also leaves behind grandchildren, Joelle, Kristina, Ethan, Sara, and Kennedy. He will be missed by those that knew and loved him.

Let the Summer Fun Begin

Baldwin Park

Summer has officially arrived! And Kaiser Permanente wants to encourage you to take advantage of the long days, warm weather, open pools, and the many local outdoor activities, to get fit, stay healthy and have a safe summer break.

“When we think of summer, we automatically think vacation, sleeping in, eating tasty (and often not so healthy) treats and keeping cool! While all this should be part of the summer experience, we need to remember that three months of unhealthy habits, can take a major toll,” says Robert Riewerts, MD, Chief of Pediatrics, Kaiser Permanente Baldwin Park Medical Center. “Studies have found that children are more vulnerable to sudden weight gain and accidents during the summer. With a little preparation, safety rules in place, parental monitoring, and an array of nutritious treats, we can do our best to ensure our children’s well-being during this fun time of the year,” added Dr. Riewerts.

His recommendations: Safety first! We encourage children to be active

by Eugene R. Webb

With alcohol you start drinking; Then suddenly you have stinkin thinking.

You find that you just love the stuff; And you never ever can get enough.

Now you're sure that you are mister big; You don't know it, but you're now a pig.

Often you get drunk and are in a fog; You don't realize it, but now you are a hog.

and spend time outdoors, but we also want them to take the necessary safety precautions! Make sure kids are wearing helmets, knee pads, elbow pads and appropriate shoes; remind them to look both ways before they cross; always use the sidewalk; and cross only at corners or marked crosswalks.

Water safety… It’s of extreme importance! Whether it be a pool, lake, ocean or river, never leave a child unattended near or in the water and make sure the child is wearing a flotation device (Coast Guard approved). Install and use barriers around your home pool or hot tub. If you have an inflatable pool, remove the water whenever the pool is not in use. And most importantly, learn to swim and teach your children to swim too.

Be safe in the sun. Avoid being outdoors between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. when UV light is strongest; generously apply a sunscreen with an SPF 30 or higher and remember to reapply; both children and adults should wear protective gear such as a hat, long-sleeve shirt and

sunglasses. Babies should be kept completely out of the sun as much as possible before 6 months of age.

Think fresh and load up on the good stuff! Frozen fruit chunks, fruit infused water and crispy veggies are all great summer snacks.

Remember to also load up on protein rich snacks such as unsalted nuts, dried soy beans, skim-milk cheese and low-fat yogurt.

Don’t buy what you don’t want them to eat! Processed, high-calorie, highfat, high sodium snacks provide no nutritional value.

With the summer heat, these snacks do little to increase a child’s energy level.

Make it a family affair!

Go for an evening walk, ride or swim! Take advantage of the summer light.

Participate in community summer activities. Visit your local park, recreation center, library or museum and find out what programs they are offering.

Set screen time limits!

Children (3 years - preteen) should spend no more than one hour a day in front of a TV, computer, video game console, or handheld device; teens, no more than

El Monte Helps Out with Summer Food Program El Monte

by Chelsea Dickerson

El Monte will once again host the Summer Food Program, which provides free and nutritious meals to children, ages 18 and younger, at various park sites throughout El Monte.

The purpose of the program is to ensure all children continue to receive nutritious meals when school is not in session.

“Since instituting the Summer Food Program, El Monte has helped feed local children who might otherwise not be able to eat healthy,” said El Monte Mayor André Quintero. “Through this successful program, we can help ensure children are being fed wholesome meals.”

The program will run from now until August 9. There will

be no service on Thursday, July 4.

Lunch will be served at the following times and locations: • Arceo Park, 3125 Tyler Ave., 12:45 p.m. - 1:45 p.m.

• El Monte Christian Church, 2400 Santa Anita Ave., 12:30 p.m. - 1:30 p.m.

• Gibson Mariposa Park, 4140 Gibson Road, 12:30 p.m. - 1:30 p.m.

• Lambert Park, 11431 McGirk Ave., 12:30 p.m. - 1:30 p.m.

• Mt. View Park, 12127 Elliot Ave., 12 p.m. - 1 p.m.

• Zamora Park, 3820 Penn Mar Ave., 12:30 p.m. - 1:30 p.m.

El Monte City Council Selects Raul Godinez II as Finalist for City Manager Post

El Monte

After an extensive search, El Monte Mayor Andre Quintero and the El Monte City Council announced that Raul Godinez II, who has extensive experience working with similar cities, has been chosen as the finalist for the city manager post.

The Council will vote on Tuesday, June 25, to define the terms of his contract and ultimately determine whether to hire him.

“We worked hard to find a candidate who had the experience and the depth of city government knowledge to be the right fit for this important position,” Quintero said.

“Our expectation of Mr. Godinez is that he is coming to our community prepared to work on critical issues like economic development, community improvement, and resource enhancement.

Our community is calling for ongoing expansion of city recreation programs, and our seniors, families and veterans have specific needs that must be met. I look forward to working with him to make El Monte the preeminent community in the San Gabriel Valley to live, work and play.”

El Monte has been searching for a new city manager

by Valerie Martinez

since August, 2012. The city contracted with an executive search firm, Bob Murray & Associates, to optimize the recruitment process, conducting extensive outreach to attract candidates from across the nation.

The candidate pool was very large – 57 applications were submitted. Following interviews with 14 interested candidates, the pool was whittled down to seven.

In May, Mayor Quintero and Mayor Pro Tem Norma Macias conducted on-site visits with three finalists.

"I am humbled to be considered by the El Monte City Council to serve as its City Manager," Godinez said.

"It will be an exciting new undertaking and I am looking forward to getting to know the City, community members and residents."

Godinez was born and raised in the City of San Fernando. He graduated from California State University, Northridge with a Bachelor’s Degree in civil engineering.

Since 2009, Godinez, a registered professional engineer, has been responsible for maintaining and delivering all major capital projects for Santa Ana’s infrastructure.

He served in a similar capacity in the City of Oakland for nine years as the Assistant Director and then Director of Public Works, under then-Mayor Jerry Brown.

Prior to that, he worked in the private sector and served the City of Los Angeles for more than 12 years.

Santa Ana Mayor Miguel Pulido commented, “Mr. Godinez will truly be missed as our Executive Director of Public Works. Due to Raul’s leadership, the city has been able to accomplish many positive projects that created an excellent living environment for the Santa Ana community.

I wish Raul the best of luck in City Council continued to page 12

TIME JOCKEY’ Artifact Lawsuit

by Joe Castillo

San Gabriel's Kid's Day and 4th of July Parade San Gabriel

Gabrielenos versus San Gabriel Historical …. In the 100th year anniversary of the establishment of the City of San Gabriel, another controversial lawsuit is headed for court. The Gabrieleno Band of Mission Indians – Kizh Nation is seeking legal consultation in taking action against San Gabriel Historical Association (SGHA) for refusing to return personal artifacts to their rightful owner. In a recent letter sent to the President of the Association, Mary Cammarano on May 29, 2013, the Gabrielenos requested the artifacts be returned. In the letter, the Gabrieleno’s claim that Chief Ernie Salas temporarily loaned the artifacts to the museum on September 2, 1998 and curator Sarah Duncan signed the agreement that allowed the association to display the artifacts and would return the artifacts any time Chief Salas made the request.

San Gabriel Historical has countered that the Native American Graves and Repatriation Act (NAGRA) prohibits them from returning the items. However, NAGRA only applies to cultural items a museum has control or possession of and not personal items which are on loan to the museum.

An email correspondence from David Tarler of the National NAGRA Program on May 29, 2013 confirmed the information as it applies to NAGRA. In a response on June 17 from Mrs. Cammarrano, the Board of Directors said the Board has taken the following action.

First, the board identified that the items are on loan to the museum. Secondly, the artifacts in question will be returned to their rightful owner when requested to do so. However, the Board of Directors has a problem identifying ownership of the artifacts in question and has received conflicting documentation regarding claims of ownership. SGHA is in the process of trying to determine who the rightful owner is and is stating that it will return the items when requested to by the rightful owner. Thirdly, in the coming month an inventory

will be conducted at the San Gabriel Historical Museum to determine if the artifacts in question are still in the museum’s possession. Chief Anthony Morales of the Gabrieleno-Tongva Band of Mission Indians has claimed that the artifacts do not belong to an individual, but to the tribal council, who is the rightful owner of the artifacts. SGHA has agreed to return the items personally made by Chief Salas and will work to resolve the issue of ownership as soon as possible. Chief Salas has presented a number of documents which support his claim as rightful owner of the items in question, including a signed receipt from Sarah Duncan, former curator of the San Gabriel Historical Association Museum. However, the SGHA is still not convinced. The Gabrieleno Band of Mission Indians – Kizh Nation are frustrated in their attempts to have the artifacts personally owned by the Chief returned and are now in the process of seeking a resolution through the courts. Don’t be surprised if a seven figure lawsuit is filed against the Historical Association, and in this day when Indian rights are gaining momentum in the courts, a judgment against the struggling San Gabriel Historical Association may make it difficult to continue functioning as a community museum.

The festivities of San Gabriel’s Kid’s Day and Fourth of July Parade will unfold on Thursday, July 4 in the historic San Gabriel Mission District.

The community is invited to participate in this familyfriendly event, which features a patriotic parade, BBQ lunch, community booths, and picnic activities.

Pyramids and Feluccas

" The Sea Rebel " Dwain Crum “The Sea Rebel”, was born in Pasadena, CA and a lifelong resident of Rosemead, CA. Retired after 29 years as a history teacher at Rosemead High School. Dwain is fulfilling a lifelong dream of traveling around the world.

• Dwain C. Crum •

Egypt, the land of the Nile, is home to Pyramids and Feluccas. My cruise ship the Pacific Princess stopped at three ports in Egypt: Safalga, Sharm al Sheik and Port Said. In addition to those three ports of call, another highlight was passing through the Suez Canal.

Safalga is a port on the Red Sea. For cruise ships it is the gateway to Luxor, and thus to Karnak and the Valley of Kings. Luxor is on the Nile River so reaching it from the Red Sea is an adventure in itself. One person on my bus said it looked like the I-15 to Las Vegas, and in many ways it did. Because of time limitations I had to forgo my visit to Karnak, instead visiting the Temple at Luxor and taking a boat ride on a felucca (traditional wooden sailing boat) in the Nile.

The Nile is the World’s Largest River (though the Amazon has far more water). The Temple of Luxor is fascinating and I almost

Mid Valley News

could not believe that I was in the Nile, riding a felucca and having lunch. The felucca ride was one of my best experiences in Egypt.

On the west side of the Nile is the Valley of Kings. It is in the Valley of Kings (built long after the Pyramids at Giza) that King Tut's Tomb was discovered. For a small

amount of extra money I entered his tomb as well.

To the north lies Cairo, Egypt's capital city. From Port Said on the Mediterranean Sea I took another bus there to the famous Pyramids of Giza. I also went and saw the Step Pyramid at Sakkara (the pyramid at Sakkara is the oldest in the world). Of course near the

Felucca Boat

Valley of the Kings

Pyramids at Giza is the famous Sphinx. All of these are must-sees for any traveler.

At Sharm al Sheik, in the Sinai, I made my way to a Bedouin Camp. It was there that I rode a

camel for the first time. It is a unique experience to say the least, but as for me I prefer the cruise ship.

From Egypt my ship sailed to Israel and the Holy Lands.

FANVIEW

By Joe Torosian We have an old saying in Delta; Don’t get mad, get even.”---Otter If you have not seen or been to Richland, Michigan...

Then, well, you haven’t seen or been to Richland, Michigan...I guess you wouldn’t go to Richland, Michigan for the food or scenic beaches. ...But you might go there if you had a brother...which I do...that lives there. Otherwise, I never would have seen it, and thus never would be writing about it, and you may never have heard of it to till now.

Beautiful. Forrest, meadow, fireflies, and for the most part zero humidity.

Zero humidity is a big deal for me. In my former days when my hair was longer dreaded humidity could destroy all your social plans in a heart beat. A lather of water forms over your skin, and your hair, your hair turns into some disgusting wet, limpy, curly mass.

I have a love for North Carolina and Virginia, but in this region, west/central Michigan no humidity.

There are some drawbacks...No sushi, no crab,clam, or mussel places.

Pizza and steaks.

Indiana actually has more places to eat...Actually Indiana is very different. Both places are flat, but Michigan as forrest, Indiana just has flat and a lot of state police patrolling around in black uniforms.

This is the tease of Indiana.

You land at the airport in Indianapolis, which has a great airport. You get your rent a car from some really friendly people. You come out of the terminal on Friday morning and get on the freeway with almost zero traffic and four wide lanes.

We’re driving a Sonata, which isn’t exactly a Chrysler 300, but still a pretty good car and your instinct is to crush the pedal. It’s like they are begging you to do it.

After all this is the home of the Indianapolis 500...This is the place where A.J.Foyt, Bobby Unser, and Johnny Rutherford all made their bones.

Driving and cars is such a big deal in Indiana that even its basketball team is called the Pacers.

So I floor it...the Sonata quickly reaches 70...I’m thinking of pushing it to 75...

January June 30, 26, 2013

Mid Valley News

Right? Who doesn’t go five to ten miles an hour faster, at the minimum, on the open road?

We take this long curving bend, and I’m loving Indiana.

More open road, wide lanes, almost zero traffic... ...Then I see my first sign: “Ticket for Speeding: Maximum Fine; $1,000” Alright, I think I better be cool...I bring it down to 70...

Then I see my second sign...

Remember this is Indianapolis, Indiana, home of the Indy 500...The second sign says: “Speed Limit 50” What?

I zoom past it and way off in the distance I see three motorcycle cops leaning against the center divider, parked, and looking my way.

One has his radar gun out...

No doubt with orders to shoot to kill...I gulp, slam the breaks, believing that once he sees my California Drivers License he’s going to give me the “Midnight Express” treatment.

It’s happened before (if driving out of Amarillo Texas where the speed limit is 70 and you want to drive 85 like everybody else be sure you do it with a Texas license plate and not a California one. “No do, no do William Hayes...”

I zoom past the cops at the wicked rate of 55 miles per hour...and they don’t budge...I look in the rearview mirror and they aren’t moving...I study the road ahead of me thinking they got a raptor squad car ready to pounce on me with a ticket...but they don’t.

Come to find out the Indiana State Police...for the most part want to be seen but not dealt with. Their positioning themselves out in the open is to make their presence known and hopefully felt by the people driving their roads. They don’t view their job as one to make money for the state.

Gotta go...and I’m only going 50mph...but it seems to be okay to drive while talking on your phone in northern Indiana.

Talk about that next time.

Do You Know Who This Guy Is?

Duarte

On this date, June 26, 1969, the Seattle Pilots very carefully walked Chicago White Sox third baseman Bill Melton (Duarte Class of 1964) twice in a 3-2 victory at Sick’s Stadium in Seattle with 7,109 in attendance.

Two days earlier Melton, the former Falcon, blasted three home runs against the Pilots in the bottom half of double header.

In 1969 he would hit 23 home runs and collect 87 Rbis...It would begin a stretch where he would hit over 20 home runs five times over the next six years. Highlighted by an All Star

game appearance in 1971.

That season Melton hit 33 home runs.

Former Duarte Falcon Bill Melton

Signed as a free agent by the Chicago White Sox in 1964 out of Duarte and made it to the bigs in 1968. Melton played ten years in the bigs and hit 160 home runs, and drove in 591 runs.

A back injury stunted his career from going further. In 1976 he played with the Angels but only hit six home runs.

Traded to the Indians in 1977 he appeared in only 50 games for the Tribe but never went yard.

He rejoined the White Sox in their front office following his career as a player and his now a member of their broadcast team

Turn and Face The Strange Changes

By Joe Torosian

In another time one coaching change per off season, maybe two was the norm.

Now, however, with budget cut backs and economics determining so much in high school athletics each season comes with a wave of change.

The off season heading into the fall of 2013 has been no different.

The Mid Valley News covers 17 high schools in its coverage zone. Of those 17 schools five went through coaching changes. Since 2011 that number is nine schools that have made changes, since 2010 that number is twelve.

The five this year included

The Peterson Principle

By Tim Peterson

Okay, LeBron James is great, the Miami Heat proved they are the best team in basketball, and its time for the “big three” in San Antonio to be broken up. Now, is it football season yet?

Well it is but just a couple more notes on hoops and then it’s definitely time to move on. The Clippers landing Doc Rivers is a great move. I didn't like the move of showing Vinny Del Negro the door but landing Rivers makes it all worth while.

Rivers is a guy that has experience and consistently gets the most out of his players. Right now he's the best coach available. And all they had to give up was a first round pick in 2015? Genius.

Everybody knows this was as much a Chris Paul's move as it was Donald Sterling's or anybody else’s in the Clippers front office. Who cares?

It's a solid move. Besides landing a quality coach they also showed they are willing to do what it takes to win.

Did you ever think Sterling would pay $7 million a year for a coach? But it's the necessary thing to do right now and the Clips did it. Plus they just secured Paul for at least another five years. Bravo!

Oh and one more thing on the NBA Finals. Can we please stop with the notion that the NBA fixed the series to go seven games? After the Heat wrapped it up in seven somebody sent me a message stating just that – that the NBA wanted more revenue and somehow fixed Game Six for Miami to win. What?

Do you know how many variables would have to be in place for that to happen?

From officials to players to coaches – everybody would have to be involved.

Also even if you somehow believed that how would you explain that this is only the fifth time in the last 25 years that the Finals have gone seven games? Sorry folks, no conspiracy here.

Tim Tebow waiting so long to get inked by a team? Now that might be a conspiracy.

Talking Tebow leads to talking about the New England Patriots, which of course leads you to start talking about Aaron Hernandez.

Everyone knew Hernandez was trouble when he was at Florida. Everyone knew the reason he dropped in the draft was because of the life he was living. Give him credit he was able to keep

Page Page 119

Mid Valley News

his nose clean for a couple of seasons, thanks to the Patriots, but now it looks like the big house for him.

Or as Barker and Torosian like to often say when someone is kissing the baby goodbye; “Tratamiento casa grande, para Hernandez.”

So Hernandez is a bum, the NFL has been full of countless bums over the years, there are still a number of bums in the NFL. You may say I’m being judgmental, and you would be right.

Tell me when are we going to stop holding individuals who have 11 children by ten different women, before they reach the age of 29 accountable?

You’re not confused, you’re not misunderstood, you’re not deprived, at worst you are depraved and at best you are selfish on a galactic scale.

And selfishness on a galactic scale equals “bum” That's my principle.

School.

After a two-year successful return to the sidelines double wing master Don LeGro has stepped down at Sierra Vista.

LeGro had a great run for the Dons during the 1990’s; he replaced Keith Locklear in 2011. His replacement has not yet been named.

San Gabriel has turned to

off win ever but the CIF finals in 2003. Jude Oliva, a San Gabriel alum and a member of Orona’s1997 breakthrough squad became the HC in 2010 and in 2011 led the Mats to the CIF finals against Monrovia.

Oliva is now at Maranatha, and Thompson arrives after being part of the staff at the

season leading their programs.

On the horizon? Joining this mix in 2014 will be Pasadena Marshall as it enters the Mission Valley League. They are led by former El Rancho, Fresno State, and NFL quarterback Jim Arellanes who has served as an assistant at Rosemead in the past. He’s also been the HC at Northview and

Not this year but next, Jim Arellanes and Pasadena Marshall join the MVL

J.D. Thompson to lead its program. The long dormant Matadors got a brief taste of success in 1997 under head coach Gary Orona. Keith Jones took over and led the team not only to its first play-

very successful Corona Centennial in the inland empire.

Looking for longevity?

Godinez has received numerous awards, including a Meritorious Achievement Award by the City of Los Angeles Board of Public Works for saving an estimated $500,000 on a $5.4 million project. In 2009, he was honored by the Northern California Chapter of the American Public Works Association (APWA) as the Public Works Leader of the Year for 2009, and then the prestigious national award by APWA as one of their Top Ten Public Works Leaders of the Year in September 2009.

Raul also served on the San Fernando City Council from 1994 to 1998. While on the Council, Godinez helped reorganize City Hall and

provided a rigorous review of the budget, resulting in increased staffing for the Police, Recreation and Community Development Departments, provided funding for a new weekly Farmers Market to help revitalize the downtown mall area, and still ended up with a surplus.

Prior to his election to the Council, Godinez was part of an activist group that successfully compelled city officials to adopt an ordinance restricting the number of liquor stores that could open in San Fernando. This ordinance was the first of its kind in the state.

If his contract is approved on Tuesday, Godinez will begin work in El Monte starting July 15.

As we approach the Independence Day holiday, we naturally think of family fun at picnics, barbeques and fireworks displays. All too often the excitement of the day makes us forget some of the fireworks safety rules, especially the ones dealing with dry weather conditions.

Safety has always been a hallmark of the way Phan-

"SeaPerch made science hands-on and fun for the students," said South El Monte High School Principal Angie Gonzales. "They were exposed to engineering concepts, problem solving, teamwork and technical applications."

"It was a joy to work with the El Monte Union High School District. Its leadership, from the superintendent to principals and teachers, are supportive and willing to embrace new STEM projects for their students," said Tran.

"They seized the opportunity

to bring in a new program and partnership that would ultimately benefit the students with regard to higher education. Programs like SeaPerch would not be successful without their leadership and vision."

El Monte Union High School District Board of Trustees members Sal Ramirez and Maria-Elena Talamantes, along with superintendent Nick Salerno, were in attendance to support the students.

Added Tran, "I'm glad to have formed this partnership in the program's pilot year and I look forward to expanding it to more schools from this district."

"SeaPerch was a great event

Fireworks enthusiasts must acknowledge the possibility that use of fireworks in dry weather conditions could spark an inadvertent fire. A little extra caution during these particularly dry periods can prevent a disastrous holiday fire.

for students and staff and we thank the Navy for this partnership that provides activities that promote STEM education," said Salerno. "Our students were very excited to participate and this excitement resulted in a positive educational experience for all and the capturing of major awards at the competition."

Phantom Fireworks has some common-sense safety tips for you to consider if your holiday plans include using consumer fireworks in dry periods. If you pay attention to the conditions and follow the dry weather safety tips, you can surely have a wonderful family fireworks display that is safe and entertaining.

You don’t think you can survive the next few hours before your next meal; however, there may be a little boy on the other side of the world who doesn’t even know if he’ll survive another night with his empty stomach. Don’t interchange sadness, stupidity, hunger, and other emotions with serious disorders that weigh people down. The use of medical disorders as a way to express your feelings shouldn’t be acceptable.

The joint public hearing shall be conducted by the El Monte Smart Growth Fund as follows: Date: Time: Place:

Tuesday, July 2, 2013 7:00 PM City Council Chamber City Hall – East 11333 Valley Boulevard El Monte, California 91731

The lands which shall be subject to disposition and improvement by the Developer are currently owned or controlled by the City and are generally located along the west side of Santa Anita Avenue between the intersection of Santa Anita Avenue and Valley Boulevard on the north and the Metro bus station on the south, such lands include the City Public Works Yard on Santa Anita Avenue. Certain of these lands are proposed for transfer by the City of El Monte to EMSG for disposition by EMSG to the Developer and subsequent improvement by the Developer including public infrastructure improvements using funds provided by the State of California Department of Housing and Community Development and the City.

The development and reuse of such lands by the Developer will include certain site soil environmental remediation work under a site clean-up plan approved by the State Department of Toxic Substance Control.

The potential effect of the development of the Gateway Project on the environment has been previously considered under the 2007 Final Environmental Impact Report for the Gateway Project. In its review of certain development project entitlements, the City of El Monte Planning Commission confirmed on February 12, 2013 that no further environmental review of the Gateway Project is indicated at this time. At the joint public hearing it is anticipated that the City Council shall further review and consider that no additional or separate compliance with CEQA (California Environmental Quality Act) is required at this time and that the prior environmental review is adequate for purposes of proceeding with the implementation of the Gateway Project.

Interested persons may contact Damien Arrula, Economic Development Director at (626) 580-2249 or by email at darrula@elmonteca.gov to obtain further information regarding the public hearing as hereby scheduled.

You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property.

You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property.

You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more
