The Mountain View School District partnered with EcoVoices, an environmental education program of the San Gabriel River Discovery Center Authority to provide 50 third through eighth grade students with an Expedition to the Solar System.

The two-week summer expedition was comprised of two guided inquiry adventures including Space Robotics where students designed, devised and deployed Microlanders to explore planetary surfaces and Planetary Geology where

students explored, discovered and learned about ice in the solar system and planetary ecosystems.

“We are happy to provide this summer science academy for students,” said Dr. Richard Shope, EcoVoices Director. “We want to stay on course to help kids be and become scientists. By

participating in the program they are exposed to scientific study and learning to be self-directed learners.”

In the Planetary Geology class students learned how to classify and identify minerals and crystals using tools geologists use. Students expanded their vocabulary as they

described minerals and crystals as equigrandular, poikilitic, subhedral, and euhedral. They also created 3-D contour maps depicting a planet’s surface.

Exploring the solar system, students drew posters, conducted research, and presented their findings about

Politics: Drop by Drop ANTHONY R. FELLOW, Ph.D., Professor of Communications, Director of The Florence Program Department of Communications, College of Communications, California State University, Fullerton 800 State College Blvd., Fullerton, CA 92831 It hasn’t been a good month for me and trucks.

Four weeks ago, while trying to transition from the 210 east to the 57 south near Glendora, a mac truck came from nowhere into my lane.

My beloved 2004 Honda Civic was basically picked up and moved perpendicular to a cement wall. The back two tires were split in half as I traveled 60 mph across one lane into the freeway’s cement wall.

The driver never stopped.

According to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, one of every 10 traffic fatalities in the United States resulted from collisions involving trucks.

California, by the way, leads all states when it comes to accidents involving trucks.

Advocates for Highway

and Auto Safety, report that annual truck crash fatalities are equivalent to a major airplane crash every other week of the year. It estimates the annual cost to society from crashes involving commercial motor vehicles is estimated to be more than $99 billion.

It’s easy to rag on trucks and truck drivers today. Big rigs are clogging the freeways, they no longer stay in the right two lanes, and they appear to be getting heavier and longer--thanks to the powerful truck lobby in Sacramento.

But, let’s face it, if they weren’t on the road, consumers wouldn’t have the goods and services they desire. It is too bad, though, that California didn’t have the vision of New Jersey,

Webb'S Rules

where trucks have one lane and that lane is separated from cars by a grassy lane.

Sections of California’s Highway 5 come close to that model.

I did get a new car.

However, while driving to work this week on the 605 south a truck carrying gravel spit a bolder out hitting my windshield and leaving a sizable crack. I tried to get the license plate number, but it was covered in sot. And wouldn’t you know, another truck carrying sand whizzed by creating a desert storm with sand pellets spraying some nicely polished cars, including mine.

Some days you just can’t win.

LIFE IS WAY TOO SHORT

by Eugene R. Webb

There is something I must report; That I’ve found life is way too

Read it & Smile

short.

I believe we all should plan ahead; Before someone in the family drops dead.

I know it’s not something we want to talk about; Yet it’s so important that we can’t live without.

In a lifetime there’s a lot of choices we must make; And we do all of this for our very own sake.

Life begins from the first breath we take; And ends with the last breath that we make.

We enter this world with a slap on the rear; Some people disappear, like they’ve never been here.

They don’t even have a final place to rest; Where these people are, has to be anyone’s guess.

For it is ashes to ashes and dust to dust; Taking care of your own funeral plans is a must.

You could be scattered in the desert or out to sea; I’ve made all my plans, so that won’t happen to me.

I want a marker with my name carved in stone, to stay; And on it written, “I have nothing more to say”.

Most of us don’t know how long we will survive; So we must make the best of our life while we’re alive.

Keep in mind that only once will we pass this way; We’d better appreciate and make the best of each day.

Cal State Los Angeles Students Receive Assistance with Basic Skills Courses at Rio Hondo College

by Ruthie Retana Whittier

About 100 students from California State University, Los Angeles are studying at Rio Hondo College this month to complete basic skills courses under the auspices of a two year, $2 million grant recently received by the community college district.

The grant, one of five totaling $10 million awarded by the California Community College’s Chancellor’s Office, provides Rio Hondo College with resources to work with area high schools, adult schools and CSU Los Angeles to improve the chances of college success for students with challenges in English and math.

“We are excited to be hosting these students on our campus and helping them to achieve their dreams,” Superintendent/President Teresa Dreyfuss said. “Rio Hondo College offers a host of services that support students in their quest for a college degree and, with this grant, we will be expanding those services on multiple fronts.”

At Cal State L.A., more than 66.1 percent of incoming freshmen test below college level in English or math. This is similar to remedial challenges at Rio Hondo College, which also enrolls a large population of first-generation college students who may lack cultural, familial or financial support.

Students at Cal State LA who do not complete remedial classes in a year tend to

drop out or are dis-enrolled.

Rio Hondo College is targeting up to 2,500 Cal State L.A. students for remedial instruction, tutoring and other support over the two-year grant period.

Students will take summer courses after high school to build skills before freshman year, receive aid in spring of their freshman year to complete remedial programs and enroll in summer classes after freshman year if they need additional help.

The current class of 100 students falls into the latter category – a number Rio Hondo College officials expect will double shortly.

Rio Hondo College will serve the students through a rigorous program of instruction as well as through a trio of intervention programs designed to support them.

For example, Rio Hondo’s two-week Summer Bridge program includes an academic workshop that boosts student math preparation.

Students can test into more advanced courses at the program’s conclusion. The program also provides students with additional tools for managing the transition to college. It serves about 330 students annually.

The college also offers a two-week math booster program called Springboard.

Two-thirds of the students involved in pilot programs offered during winter intersession have tested at one to two math courses higher than they started.

Gateway Tutoring, a third program, provides supplemental instruction through peer tutors who assist with in-class activities and hold group-tutoring sessions outside of class. The program serves about 730 students annually.

In addition to offering classes and support services, Rio Hondo College also will work with area high schools and adult schools to ensure that curriculum in English and math aligns effectively with Rio Hondo and Cal State L.A. This will include a review of student academic records.

“This new partnership will offer an avenue of hope to students who face greater challenges than most in their quest for a degree,” Rio Hondo College Board of Trustees president Mary Ann Pacheco said. “It is part of our mission to help ensure the students in our community obtain the skills needed to achieve their dreams.”

‘Time Jockey’ Fifth Annual Relay For Life, Joaquin’s Journey

by Joe Castillo

Murrieta Connection .... The legend of Joaquin Murrieta, the Robin Hood of the El Dorado, is a collection of fact and fiction.

It is a fact that the State of California issued an order for his capture, either dead or alive for an amount of $1,000. It’s also a fact that hundreds of miners had been murdered and robbed in the gold country and California sought to show that law and order had been brought to the California foothills. A manhunt for Murrieta was organized and Captain Harry Love along with the California Rangers tracked down and killed someone who was thought to be Murrieta. According to Samuel Bishop, a ferry operator who ferried two rangers across a California river, the severed head of the criminal master and his associate was in their possession and on the way to Fort Miller. Bishop asked what they were caring and they showed Bishop two human heads and a hand with three fingers on it.

Bishop recognized one of the heads as the notorious killer “Three-Fingers Jack” and his severed hand confirmed the owner. The other head was a fair looking Mexican with a short mustache and whether or not it was Murrieta could not be confirmed. The Rangers continued on to Fort Miller where they placed the supposed head of Joaquin, along with the other head and hand into a jar filled with whiskey and showed it to everyone in the towns bar. In the morning, they went on to the army post and showed the head to the doctor in charge, who transferred the body parts to an alcohol filled jar. Stationed inside Fort Miller was an army surveying unit with its accompanying support unit from the U.S. Dragoons.

The army unit was led by Lieutenant George Stoneman, who would become future governor of the state and eventually retire to the City of Alhambra, where Stoneman Avenue is named in his honor….. Early Connection …Future Presidents John F. Kennedy and Richard Nixon were rivals in the political arena but their paths crossed much earlier than the Presidential campaign of 1960. Both Nixon and Kennedy were in the same 1947 rookie class as U.S. Congressmen

and were often placed in similar committees, events and seating arrangements.

When Nixon became Vice President in 1953, his office was across the hall from Kennedy’s senate office.

When Kennedy sought to join the Burning Tree Golf Club, Nixon wrote a letter sponsoring him. Early in their political careers, both Kennedy and Nixon, had their own secretary who would go on and have their own footnote in history.

Kennedy’s secretary was Evelyn Lincoln who documented life in the White House especially during the Kennedy administration and assignation periods.

Nixon’s secretary was Rose Mary Woods who became famous for the missing 13-minutes from recorded sessions in the Nixon White House during the Watergate investigation. Both Lincoln and Woods became good friends, even as Nixon and Kennedy became friendly rivals…. Perfect Connection…. “Deep Throat” was the mysterious informant who provided insight to Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein in their investigation and reporting of the Watergate break-in. Hal Holbrook was the veteran actor, wise in years, cerebral and high-minded.

He played “Deep Throat” proficiently in the movie of the investigation and played the role with such a detached presence appearing more authentic than “Deep Throat” himself.

Over 25 years later, the real “Deep Throat,” Mark Felt, was identified as the most important role in the entire investigative story and award-winning movie “All the President’s Men”…..

Thank You Temple City

by Relay for Life Temple City

For 24 Hours on July 9-10, 2016, nearly 250 participants came together to participate in 5th Relay for Life of Temple City to raise funds for the American Cancer Society. At the Opening Ceremony, Event Chair Mary Sneed proclaimed that the event planning committee worked tirelessly to make this year’s Relay the success it was.

That they each had “their special reason to Relay, but were all committed to fighting cancer.” She went on to state that “it had been an honor to work with such a phenomenal group of people and they all were thankful for the support of Temple City.”

Temple City High School alum Alex Yam, a leukemia survivor, shared the story of his cancer journey opening

the Relay event and kickedoff the Survivor Lap. Cancer survivors were cheered as they circled the high school track and were joined by their very important caregivers at the mid-point to complete the first lap.

Over the next 24 hours members of 22 teams walked or ran laps as a reminder that the fight against cancer never ends. While the reason behind Relay for Life is serious, the Relayers had fun during the weekend, taking part in several specialty laps such as the popular Bra and Tutu Laps.

A free lunch was provided by the Temple City Kiwanis and dinner was sponsored

by Humana Medical Insurance. The City of Temple City and Temple City Unified School District served as Presenting Sponsors.

Luminaria Chair, Kyla Sickles, created a beautiful and very moving Luminaria Ceremony, always a Relay highlight, featuring songs performed by two of Temple City’s finest, Mia Pfirrman and Keann Ombao and a slide show celebrating survivors and remembering those lost to cancer. The ceremony concluded with a solemn Luminaria Lap during which the track is lit only by 500 small lights flickering in luminaria decorated bags.

At Closing Ceremonies on Sunday, Temple City recommitted themselves to continue the fight against cancer during the Fight Back Ceremony. As of press time, this year’s Relay has raised over $53,000, and fundraising will continue until August. For more information or to make a donation visit www.RelayforLife.org/TempleCityCA

Of her work with sixth and seventh grade students, teacher Erin Brown said, “The students enjoyed the whole process of identifying a problem and then brainstorming to come up with a solution. I enjoyed walking around the room and listening to the group discussions.

They wanted their projects to succeed so they had to use their critical thinking skills.

It was great to watch and the students had a blast.”

Each class completed two engineering units along with literacy, art and math lessons that were developed to complement the content and concept knowledge necessary to make sense of the engineering tasks.

In The Best of Bugs: Designing a Hand Pollinator, first and second graders learned about the critical role of insects in the pollination process, discussed the current plight of the world’s bee population, had a visit from a real beekeeper, and worked with their groups to create hand pollinators for different types of flowers. At the same time these students experienced art lessons around Georgia O’Keefe, an artist known for her beautiful flowers.

Third and fourth grade students studied two units related to water. They engineered effective water filters and learned how to clean an oil spill. Water sustainability, especially here in Southern California, was the topic of an assembly and workshops provided by the Metropolitan Water District in conjunction with Discovery Cube. The settings for the challenges presented in the engineering units were India and the Pacific Northwest, so these students created art projects around

of Science. As the nation’s leading engineering curriculum, these units use the engineering design process and real-world application as the foundation for learning. EMCSD developed a summer program that incorporated science, technology, engineering, art, and math (otherwise known as STEAM) to create an exciting learning opportunity for its students.

And exciting and engaging this program clearly was!

Several students commented that they were thinking of pursuing a career in engineering. Some came in early from lunch to work on their projects. Discipline issues were almost non-existent as students worked collaboratively to gain the knowledge

Environmental issues formed the basis for the sixth and seventh grade students’ engineering units.

Don’t Run Off: Urban Landscapes and Here Comes the Sun: Insulated Homes led students to studying about climate change, urban water run-off and the effect on rivers and oceans, and designing structures that reduce energy use. The urban setting inspired study of artists like Banksy, known for his “graffiti” political and cultural messages, Diego Rivera, famous for his

EMCSD’s goals for the students attending Summer STEAM were simple: 1) Build 21st century skills around collaboration, communication, creativity and critical thinking, 2) Develop an understanding of technology and engineering, and 3) Foster an excitement and motivation for learning.

What they achieved goes far beyond these goals. The energy and excitement generated during these brief 19 days of learning and growing will last well into and beyond the coming school year.

“We are presenting about the planet Makemake,” said Daniel Olguin. “It is the second brightest dwarf planet and it was discovered in 2005.”

“It’s been fun learning about the planets and robotics,” said Layla Diaz. “The solar system is really interesting and there are so many planets and moons out there I didn’t even know about.”

Students going into middle and intermediate school explored space robotics and programmed robots using the Lego Mindstorm program.

“It’s great to be here and be part of this beneficial program,” said Nick Meecheevet, Eco Voices instructor.

“We do a lot during the two weeks and we have a very aggressive schedule. The kids have done a great job learning the skills of programming including the importance of every minute detail and precision planning as well as observation. They are learning to work as a team and depend

on each other’s skills and knowledge,” said Meecheevet.

Eager to test their robots on the course, students eagerly gathered in their teams to see if their programmed robot could complete the task they assigned.

“I really like doing robotics,” said Kevin Wu. “It’s fun to program the robot for a task and then if it doesn’t do what we needed it to we troubleshoot, solve the problem and make sure the robot can complete the task.

We have a captain, a mission specialist, an engineer and an artist on our teams and we use motors, sensors and other parts to build our robot.”

The 50 students in the Eco Voices Summer Science Academy enhanced their learning and had fun while exploring science, math and technology.

Anime Expo 2016

by Devette Johnson Los Angeles

Mid Valley News kicked off the anime convention season with WonderCon, then next was the Anime 2016 Expo, which showcases a lot of the Japanese animation and manga comic characters. The Los Angeles Convention Center was this year’s host for the expo.

Many of you know and may have had the privilege to attend Comic Con in San Diego; well that’s happening in a couple of weeks and we look forward to sharing that experience with you as well.

During our visit we were able to attend a couple of panels, view some amazing cosplay costumes and ate some great food at the large assortment of food trucks located in a parking lot across from the convention center.

If you were able to attend the event you know what we are talking about; but if you weren’t we are going to do our best to describe our journey and share our experience with you. So hold on here we go.

Every year the Anime Expo continues to expand.

With over 400 exhibitors

there were tons of booths to visit, artist alley and cosplay area. Hulu, Warner Brothers, Crunchyroll, Sony, Aniplex, FUNimation and many more were present at the exhibit floor. Anime Expo had a great selection of artists showing off their artwork.

They had rows and rows in artist alley and each person had a unique look of their art. Artist alley is where individuals get recognized for their skill in their art work and for the effort they have put in their work. It’s a chance for them to make a few dollars and to maybe get a job from some industry person attending. Artists

PROFESSIONAL INSTITUTE OF BEAUTY

were allowed to show their versions of what they think their favorite characters could look like through different artists. Anime Expo also hosted plenty of food trucks around the outside the convention center and at the adjacent parking lot across from the expo and featured food from all over the world, but mostly Japan.

We were able to sit in on the Production IG Industry Panel, with Maki TerashimaFuruta, the VP/producers and Ari Arad, producer. He shared the stage with Maki.

Ari Arad is known for his work on “Iron Man” (2008), “The Punisher” (2004) and “Ghost Rider” (2007). They both gave us an insight on the upcoming, “Ghost in the Shell” live action movie.

They previewed a slideshow of the “Attack on Titan: Junior High,” “Joker Game” and “FLCL 2” These shows really caught the eye of the audience. Maki had such great energy with the audience it made the time go by quickly and the audiences were yearning for more.

Overall, Anime Expo was a great event and it’s always great hearing about the new

Joe T.’s Scoreboard

By Joe Torosian

This might have little to do with sports but off the top: The day this edition of the Mid Val-ley News hits the streets will be July 20, 2016. It will be exactly 47 years since United States Astronaut Neil Armstrong became the first man to walk on the moon.

More information available with the swipe of a finger, shorter attention spans, and sev-eral generations living in relative prosperity and peace have caused many to forget how awesome an achievement this was.

What does this have to do with sports?

Probably nothing on the surface…except two things.

One, Armstrong’s walk on the moon reminds us that the “seemingly” impossible is pos-sible. Few truly believe the “seemingly” impossible can be done nowadays.

Two, perhaps most important, the fact that many no longer remember this amazing achievement is proof we often forget all of the work it took to achieve this great feat.

When you forget you get fat, you get out of shape, you lose your motivation because you tend to believe victory and achievement are always a given.

This is a great sports lesson. This is why the biggest, strongest, and best funded don’t always win the championship. The ones that win in sports, and life, are the ones who work the hardest.

Not everyone who works hard gains notoriety, a championship, or a big bank account. A great discussion can be had about what success is but we do know this… without hard work you’re not even in the discussion of what success means.

I love looking back to the time Armstrong walked on the moon. I was four years old at the time and I had an Apollo model spaceship that came apart in sections. I remember just being amazed that something like that could exist. How could somebody build something so great?

Hard work.

Success in life? Hard work.

Success in sports? Hard work. ***MidBits (same as Tidbits)*** “Thank you, Tim Duncan! A true warrior, an amazing role model, the quintessential pro! Godspeed!”—Dennis Miller on Duncan’s decision to delay his retirement an-nouncement from the NBA in honor of the fallen police officers

Monrovia Readying For Next Title Run

by Joe Torosian Monrovia

The Monrovia Wildcats welcomed St. Paul and Eagle Rock to town last Tuesday (July 12) for some Seven-on-Seven football action.

A decade ago, new Monrovia head coach Jerry Chou won a pair of City CIF titles for Eagle Rock. Now he looks to build on a program that went 18-6 the last two years under former coach Chris Stevens (now at Chino Hills). In fact, the Wildcats

have gone 29-8 on the field since winning their last of three consecutive Southern Section CIF titles in 2012.

To aid the cause, Monrovia returns 24 of the 44 players from its varsity roster a year ago.

Monrovia always seems a step ahead against its opponents.

The passers & receivers get all of the attention but it is the guys banging pads that make everything work.

Whole New World…Views

by Joe Torosian San Valley Gabriel

Chances are if you’ve been to the park or a local sporting event of late you’ve seen one of these odd shaped things with four propellers hovering above the action.

It might not be a big deal in a few years but right now you can sit in the bleachers at a high school baseball match, a girl’s eight-an-under soccer game, or an APU football contest and hear this buzzing sound. You look left, you look right, and just when you believe a bug has flown into your ear you look up and see the drone.

Known as “Unmanned Aerial Vehicles” (UAVs) drones are currently being used in the sports industry at

all levels.

Drone. Not a military drone, but the kind of drone that can be purchased almost anywhere. Fitted with GoPro type cameras, they are increasingly becoming the biggest rage in sports by capturing angles and shots normal camera setups cannot.

“I don’t want to say too much because I have a booster club looking to make a purchase,” said one local football coach who didn’t want to go on the record. “I’m not sure how I feel about it and if I say something to you I might look bad when I start using one.”

The coach said the ad-

The Peterson Principle

By Tim Peterson

It’s the middle of July.

The football fans are getting restless. I get it. But I’m still not sure how a “Chalk Talk” about the “Spot Route” turns into a blog about the pros and cons of Cathedral football.

Okay, mostly cons. (“Chalk Talk” is when a football coach explains a play or certain scheme on a chalkboard.)

I don’t know exactly how all the recruiting works but I do know this. Cathedral is a private school, so when kids come there by way of other schools there’s technically nothing illegal about it. You might not like the school suggesting to a kid that they should “come on over” at a passing league or a camp but it’s not against the rules. I mean it’s perfectly legal.

Maybe not cool, and definitely frowned upon, but not illegal.

And seriously nobody is placing a gun to the kids heads to enroll at Cathedral. If they don’t want to transfer, then don’t transfer.

Yes, I do get sick of hearing a coach tell me “Oh, that kid? Yeah, he transferred to Cathedral” when I inquire about a player from the previous season. But the bottom line is it’s ultimately the player’s choice.

He could have stayed if he wanted to. Transfers happen every year, more so now than ever, but if you don’t want to transfer then don’t transfer.

Oh and another thing about “Chalk Talk.” These coaches that write them aren’t claiming that they invented anything or are actually the one that designed the play or scheme. They are simply writing about how they execute it or how and why they use it.

Former Rosemead HC Matt Koffler once sent me a “Chalk Talk” on “Double Tights.” Did he invent the formation that has two tight ends? Of course not. But he liked to use it and his team had success running it so he wrote about how it was utilized.

“Chalk Talk” is great. It helps me and hopefully, the reader better understands the game and learn how certain plays or schemes are executed. Just enjoy it.

Don’t try to read anything into it. **Anybody else sick of “Deflate Gate” yet?

That dead horse hasn’t just been beaten. It’s been tied, beaten, and dragged through the town over and over again for everybody to see. Tom Brady isn’t going to appeal the latest decision

so hopefully, we’ll never hear about it again. **I’ve seen Arcadia this summer, I like Arcadia, and although the Apaches can be...for the lack of a better word, salty, they do have the athletes to back it up. Only one problem.

I saw the same thing last year prior to the season and they went 5-5 and missed the playoffs. They lost key games to Burbank and Burroughs and lost by a point to Crescenta Valley in the season finale which knocked them out of the post-season. The Apaches look like a team that can do it. But I don’t need to hear it. I need to see it.

That's my principle.

KISS Defeats Gladiators

by Tim Peterson Anaheim

The Los Angeles KISS led by 21 points midway through the fourth quarter and then had to hold to survive a 63-61 win over the Cleveland Gladiators on Saturday night before 8,069 at Honda Center.

It wasn’t easy though by any stretch for LA. Leading 49-28 with 7:56 left, the Gladiators (7-8) staged a furious rally and almost pulled out a win. Cleveland recovered two onside kicks

The technology is great but it concerns me.”

While there are FAA regulations governing the use of a drone at major sporting events such is not the case at local levels.

“It’s something that is going to be a big factor as the technology improves.”

One is Enough for Galaxy

by Tim Peterson Carson

Steven Gerrard scored in the 66th minute and that was all the Los Angeles Galaxy needed to beat the Houston Dynamos 1-0 Friday night before 25,667 at StubHub Center.

The Galaxy had a couple of opportunities early but was unable to cash in. Robbie Keane had a penalty kick just eight minutes in but missed it wide right.

Houston’s Collen Warner was issued a yellow card in the 24th minute. In the 27th minute Galaxy goalkeeper, Brian Rowe made a save on a shot by the Dynamo’s Alex.

Gyasi Zardes had a golden chance in the 30th minute but wasn’t able to get high enough to head in a pass from Giovani dos Santos right in front of the net. A Zardes cross failed to connect with a sliding Keane on the right side of the goal in the 32nd minute.

The teams went into the break scoreless.

A yellow card was handed to dos Santos in the 55th minute.

Rowe kept the Dynamo at bay again in the 61st minute as Giles Barnes got by the LA defense and fired a shot on goal but Rowe was there for the save.

The Galaxy finally broke through when Keane’s shot was blocked by Houston including one that Nick Seither returned 12 yards for a score to cut the lead to 56-54 with one minute left.

The game wasn’t secured for the KISS until Donovan “Captain” Morgan recovered an onside kick with 13 seconds left and LA ran out the clock.

Los Angeles was led by quarterback Nathan Stanley, who fired three touchdown passes in the fourth quarter, completing 25 of 37 for 317 yards and eight touchdowns for the KISS. Morgan caught three touchdown passes and DJ Stephens four.

keeper Joe Willis, but Steven Gerrard followed it with a blast that sailed by Willis to break the tie.

“We played well enough to get three points, not our best game. I think we made things a little difficult on ourselves,” said Galaxy coach Bruce Arena. “Obviously not converting the

“Our process is we’re trying to become a competitive football team. We’re growing,” said KISS head coach Omarr Smith. “DJ (Stephens) had a great game.

Sometimes defenses will try to take Donovan (Morgan) away so DJ stepped up. We talk about the whole growth process. A couple of weeks ago DJ had a bad game and we talked about how we need him as a football player and to grow. He did that tonight.”

With the victory, the KISS improved to a .500 record at 7-7 on the season and can

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 than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property.

Above is subject to or change.

Please read paragraph below.

To file a complaint of discrimination, write USDA, Director, Office of Civil Rights, 1400 Independence Avenue, SW, Washington, D.C. 20250-9410 or call (800) 795-3272 or (202) 720-6382 (TTY). USDA is an equal opportunity provider and employer.

Application forms are being distributed to all households with a letter informing them of the availability of free and reduced-price meals for enrolled children. Applications are also available at the principal's office in each school. To apply for free or reduced-price meal benefits, households must complete an application and return it to the school for processing. Applications may be submitted at any time during the school year. The information households provide on the application will be used to determine meal eligibility and may be verified at any time during the school year by school or program officials.

Requirements for school officials to determine eligibility for free and reduced-price benefits are as follows: For households receiving Food Stamp, CalWORKs, Kin-GAP, or FDPIR benefits – applications need only include the enrolled child(ren)'s name, Food Stamp, CalWORKs, Kin-GAP, or FDPIR case number, and the signature of an adult household member. For households who do not list a Food Stamp, CalWORKs, Kin-GAP, or FDPIR case number, the application must include the names of all household members, the amount and source of the income received by each household member, and the signature and corresponding Social Security number of an adult household member. If the household member who signs the application does not have a Social Security number, the household member must indicate on the application that a Social Security number is not available.

Under the provisions of the free and reduced-price meal policy, the determining official(s), as designated by the sponsor/agency, shall review applications and determine eligibility. Parents or guardians dissatisfied with the eligibility ruling may discuss the decision with the determining official on an informal basis. Parents may also make a formal request for an appeal hearing of the decision and may do so orally or in writing with the sponsor/agency’s hearing official. Parents or guardians should contact their child(ren)’s school(s) for specific information regarding the name of the determining official and/or hearing official for a specific school, agency, or district.

If a household member becomes unemployed or if the household size increases, the household should contact the school. Such changes may make the children of the household eligible for benefits if the household's income falls at or below the levels shown above.

Households that receive Food Stamp, CalWORKs, Kin-GAP, or FDPIR benefits may not have to complete an Application for Free or Reduced-Price Meals or Free Milk. School officials will determine eligibility for free meals based on documentation obtained directly from the Food Stamp, CalWORKs, Kin-GAP, or FDPIR office that a child is a member of a household currently receiving Food Stamp or FDPIR benefits or an assistance unit receiving CalWORKs or Kin-GAP benefits. School officials will notify households of their eligibility, but those who do not want their child(ren) to receive free meals must contact the school. Food Stamp, CalWORKs, Kin-GAP, and FDPIR households should complete an application if they are not notified of their eligibility by October 16, 2015.

iPhone 7 is scheduled to be announced in early September. The new phone is designed quite similar to the current iPhone 6s. It has the usual updates such as a faster processor. Apple always updates their processors; the new one should be A10 processor. If history is similar, the A10 processor should feature a 2.5 GHz processor and be a 64bit dual channel.

The biggest thing that the iPhone is removing is the 3.5mm headphone jack.

Apple will removing the one thing they had in common with all other phones. The reason for removing the jack is to make the iPhone thinner and lighter. The camera will be updated too and feature a bigger lens, but no details on how many megapixels. Rumor is the larger iPhone 7 plus will feature

New “Ghostbusters” Ain’t Afraid of No Ghosts

by Annick J. Downhower National

32 years ago, “Ghostbusters” arrived in movie theaters.

An unlikely band of heroesthree scientists (Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis) and “civilian” Winston (Ernie Hudson)- entertained audiences as they caught ghosts. The film’s combination of humor, adventure, and paranormal activity was a hit.

Now, a reboot of the franchise from director/co-writer Paul Feig and co-writer Katie Dippold has released.

The plot follows a story arc similar to the original. A ghost sighting draws three scientists- quirky Holtzmann

(Kate MacKinnon), determined Abby (Melissa McCarthy), and conflicted Erin (Kristen Wiig)- into adventure. They’re joined in their ghost hunting quest by Patty (Leslie Jones), an MTA worker, and Kevin (Chris Hemsworth), a clueless but good-looking receptionist.

A bullied outcast named Rowan (Neil Casey) is the human villain who wants to use angry ghosts to “cleanse the world” and exact revenge.

This fresh take on the ghostbusting theme is a reboot in the very best sense. The film respects the original while

introducing a new crew with unique personalities. Director Feig has assembled a talented comedy team. Wiig, Jones, and McKinnon are all “Saturday Night Live” veterans. This is McCarthy’s fourth, and Wiig’s third, film pairing with Feig as their director. Jones shines especially bright as Patty, who joins the team after seeing a ghost in the subway. She combines humor with an outspoken and caring approach.

Peter G. Travers’ visual effects crew has developed fantastic ghosts. Live actors, costume designers, and CG artists combined to produce the incredibly detailed apparitions. Moviegoers will meet new creations including murderous Gertrude, an angry prisoner, and a dragon-like apparition that makes Ozzy Osbourne (in cameo) think he’s having a flashback. In a nice nod to the New York City setting, 1920s Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade balloons take ghostly form. Other touches include updates on the Ecto1 hearse and the original logo, both nice “winks” to the first film.

The Infiltrator

Gertrude the ghost. Courtesy photo by Hopper Stone © 2016 CTMG

Ivan Reitman, director of the original 1984 movie, and actor Aykroyd are part of this version’s producing team.

Kudos to Feig for including the original stars in this project. Murray, Aykroyd, Sigourney Weaver, Hudson, Annie Potts, and even the late Ramis (to whom the film is dedicated) all have cameos. So do memorable ghost characters including Slimer and the Stay Puft Man. The ever popular “Ghostbusters” song by Ray Parker, Jr. is covered effectively, too.

The fan outreach has been international. Singapore hosted a Guinness World

Record gathering of supporters dressed as the Ghostbusters logo ghost. The Ecto-1 hearse was displayed at Universal CityWalk Hollywood during the US opening weekend. And Madame Tussauds New York has opened an immersive Ghostbusters display.

Fans of the original 1984 film have nothing to fear.

The humorous ghostbusting tradition successfully continues.

in the acting department, especially Bryan Cranston playing Robert. He is probably the best thing about this movie. This film focus on Robert and what he did to Pablo Escobar. Pablo is just a side character and this film is a different aspect in his demise. That being said the story isn’t very good.

It is different but it could

have been better written and directed. This film is an Indie Film, so it has a limited release, which means it will be difficult finding a screening. Maybe a good idea to wait for it to come out on DVD. “The Infiltrator” is interesting side story on Pablo but leave Pablo out and it doesn’t entertain enough.

Grade C Rated R

by Glen Maldonado National

In 1986, federal agent Robert Mazur (Bryan Cranston) goes undercover

to infiltrate the trafficking network of Colombian drug kingpin Pablo Escobar.

Working with fellow agents Kathy Ertz (Diane Kruger) and Emir Abreu (John Leguizamo), Mazur poses as a slick, money-laundering businessman named Bob Musella. Gaining the confidence of Roberto Alcaino (Benjamin Bratt), Escobar’s top lieutenant, Mazur must navigate a vicious criminal underworld where one wrong move could cost him everything. He will be stopping the biggest known drug dealer in the world, Pablo Escobar.

“Infiltrator” is directed by Brad Furman who is best known for “The Lincoln Lawyer.” Ellen Sue Brown wrote the script as a first time writer with no previous credits. The author of the book is Robert Mazur, and is the main character of his book. He was a real life undercover agent who specialized in money laundering and got deep into Pablo Escobar drug trade. Bryan Cranston plays Robert Mazur in the film “The Infiltrator.” Diana Kruger costars as Kathy Ertz a woman agent helping Robert stop Pablo Escobar.

The film does a great job
