Monrovia VFW Honors the 101st Airborne Monrovia
On Saturday September 14, 2013, the Monrovia VFW was the site of a luncheon honoring the 101st Airborne. History tells us that the 101st Airborne was “originally organized in November 1916, was demobilized and later reconstituted in June 1921 as an Organized Reserve Unit.” Later “the division was organized in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. … The reserve division was disbanded on August 15,

1942 and concurrently reconstituted in the Army of the United States as the 101st Airborne Division.” After training, “the division moved to Fort Bragg, North Carolina, and joined the 502nd Parachute Infantry Regiment (PIR).” These men were known as the Screaming Eagles. “During the early days of Vietnam, the Division made its transition from parachutes to helicopters as the method of insertion. In 1974 the Army terminated jump status for the Division and the Screaming Eagles formally became America’s Air Assault Division.” The 101st Airborne have continued their bravery.

On Dec 5th, 1985 at the age of 17, I felt as if the only way out was to end my life, I bought a 12 pack of beer and stood overlooking a 250 foot cliff. I began thinking and said to myself “What a relief it would be for my parents to know that the mistake they had once made in me, was no longer around.” As I stood looking down, I heard a voice, I turned to look back and saw a police officer standing as he said “It’s not worth it please don’t do it.” I then looked at him and said “I’m sorry” and then I JUMPED! Little did I know I would jump into the arms of an angel that the Good Lord Above would send to me. Falling and tumbling down to the bottom, I was helicoptered to a hospital with Doctors saying “This one will not live.” I slipped into a coma and began the fight of my life, having to learn to walk, talk and write again, having many broken bones to heal, remarkably 2 years of rehab later and with nothing but scars to show, I made a full recovery.

Around Town by Mavis Hansen September is bringing the hottest weather of the whole summer and it seems that everyone is tired of so much heat. Hang in there my calendar that shows the First Day of Autumn to be Sunday, September 22, 2013. If you haven’t been to the L.A. County Fair (in Pomona), there is still time. If you have never been to the Fair, you are in for quite an experience and if you are a “regular,” like I am, it is hard to decide, once you get there, what to see and what to eat first! So many things to see, including farm animals (the babies are my favorites) and so many delicious treats of all sorts. Of course, the rides are one of the major attractions. Something for those of all ages. If you don’t want to drive, the El Monte Family Adventure Shuttle is offering a trip on Saturday, September 21, 2013. The cost of $15.00 /Adults, $11.00/children 6-12 and $5.00 for children 2 – 5 includes round trip transportation and admission ticket to the L.A. County Fair. Children must be at least two years of age and all children under the age of 12 must be accompanied by a responsible adult at all times. Shuttle

Student's Corner The Salinger Documentary
Ashley Lanuza, contributing student writer from San Gabriel Mission High School. by Ashley Lanuza
J.D. Salinger is the critically acclaimed author of the American novel, The Catcher in the Rye. After a little digging, David Shields and Shane Salerno are releasing a documentary on the reclusive author, three years after his death in 2010. The film will cover his life from World War II to post-Catcher fame and beyond. According to the Montreal Gazette, five of his books will be published posthumously between 2015 and 2020. The novels are rumored to be his last projects before his death. Besides the occasional interview and
copyright court case, Salinger had purposely avoided society, especially the media. However, a few years after his death, his life is being unveiled in the twenty-first century. In my personal opinion, I don’t think it’s a good idea to be releasing such information about Salinger. He literally went out of his way to avoid any type of publicity, and I feel like we should respect his decision. As a huge fan of Catcher, I wouldn’t mind seeing it in theaters, but I respect his decision to not make the adaption. I think
we should do the same. The novelist didn’t even want his work to be made into film, so why should we make his life into a cinematic blockbuster? He didn’t want his life public while he was alive, so why would he want to publicize it after his death? Go ahead and watch the documentary if you’d like, but keep in mind that this ingenious author has given this society a gift. And though he isn’t here with us today, we must still respect Salinger’s wishes, both in life and in death.
Weekend Fun Hideaway Offers Artistic Treasures by Jo Anne Disney
Surrounded by spectacular views of the countryside lies the town of Harmony. A narrow dirt road leads to the town, aligned with trees and quaint old buildings. Nestled off Highway 1, this artistic hideaway has a total population of 18 as last recorded and its history is fascinating. The town of Harmony was founded in 1869 by Swiss immigrants, who believed the fertile hills and climate were ideal for dairying. Legend has it that “until 1907 the creamery had changed hands several times. During these early days, rivalries and feuding among dairy farmers caused chaos in the valley. After one shooting death, a truce was called. All agreed to live henceforth in harmony, and from this the name of the town was derived.” In 1901 M. H. Salmina established the Harmony Valley Co-operative Dairy. Much of the town of Harmony’s economy was sustained with this business for almost 90 years.
At its peak, the town consisted of a large residence for management, bunkhouses for employees, a general store, a livery and stable, a blacksmith, a feed store, a school house and a post office.
Harmony’s dairy has been said to have produced milk, cream, butter and the best cheese around. According to the town’s archives, one of their best customers was William Randolph Hearst, who used to stop off for fresh diary products on his way to his ranch. By the late 1950s, events forced the diary to close. The town of Harmony was abandoned except for the post office, which has remained open since
1914. Then, thanks to new owners, in 1972 the town of Harmony began a restoration making it an arts and craft center. Visitors from all around stop in and check out the largest selection of handthrown pottery on the Central Coast at “Harmony Pottery,” which also serves as a studio and gallery. This shop offers one-ofa-kind pieces in porcelain, stoneware, Raku, jewelry and more. Today Harmony houses an award winning winery as well, called “Harmony Cellars” which is open daily. At the winery you will find a tasting room offering their “liquid gold” among other fine wines and a great selection of gourmet foods. If you are looking for that one-of-a-kind artistic piece for your home, a unique gift, or if you just need a tranquil place to unwind, Harmony is the place to visit. Sit back and relax with a glass of wine and enjoy the view.

Finally, I was able to meet Mr. Jim McMullen, who served in the 101st Airborne in Vietnam and was part of the 2nd – 320 Artillery Division in 1966. There were many more soldiers in attendance and all rightfully being honored. In listening to all of the stories, it seems fitting to go back in time to the early days of WWII to quote a portion of the beginning of General Order Number five, “ The 101st Airborne Division … has no history, but it has a rendezvous with destiny.” It is amazing the acts of

With 13 Points or more, open the bid; Usually you’ll be glad you did. Now pick the suit that is stronger; Bid one with five cards or longer. With a four card major, one club is best; Knowing the rules, you won’t have to guess. With sixteen to eighteen points, one no trump is ok; With twenty-two points, two is what you say. Now the opponent opens, which means trouble; If my partner has an open bid, then he’ll double. But if he doesn’t and has cards that are mixed; Then he must pass with less points than six. But if my partner’s count is six points to ten; Then he can bid once but never again. Now if he has eleven to twelve points, that’s nice; For now he can bid not only once but twice. If my partner has thirteen points, he’ll make game; We must remember there’s no two hands the same. Keep in mind it’s game that you’re going for; With a major (heart or spade) the count is four. Sometimes it’s good to keep the bidding alive; For a minor (club or diamonds) the count is five. But no trump (highest) is heavenly; And you only need to bid to three. Also note that the bidders are winners, so they say; But I can tell you I haven’t always found it that way.

‘Time Jockey’ El Monte Museum by Joe Castillo Perspectives …… I would like to introduce a fellow writer from San Gabriel, James Aguirre, who has written a distinctive book on American history through his Native American eyes. James was kind enough to write me and provide some background on the why he wrote the book and what it has to offer its readers. In the author’s own words, here is a synopsis of ‘Through Native Eyes (Talking Leaves)’…. ‘My name is James David Aguirre (Warrior With A Pen), I was born in the city of San Gabriel, CA, in 1966. My heritage includes five different ethnic groups which are: Native American Indian, German, Irish, Spanish and Mexican. I am very proud of my family history and very fortunate to know who I am and where I come from. I was inspired to write this book because I had a personal “Vision” to write about American History from the “Indian” point of view. The only way that I can describe this personal “Vision” about American History from the “Indian” point of view, is to call this experience my “Spiritual Awakening.” I have decided to rewrite American History from another perspective which is from the “Indian” point of view, “Through Native Eyes.” This personal spiritual journey back in time, has allowed me to discover who I really am, and who I really want to be. I discovered that I am free to be who I want to be, and free to think the way I want to think. I hope that I can inspire other individuals of any race, color or creed, to dare to dream and become a “Warrior With A Pen,” free to write about American History from another perspective which is from their own point of view. The Native American Indian People finally deserve the same respect and dignity that was guaranteed to all men and women who live in the United States of America, because we are the first Americans and the original “Founding Fathers” of this great Indian Nation in the land of the free and the home of the brave. Each chapter has a different subject matter consisting of different stereotypes, racism and prejudice about Native American Indians. The subject matter is very interesting and eye-open-
ing for any individuals who do not know about the struggle and plight of the Indian People. This is the honest truth about the American History that is not taught to our children in our educational institutions. The Native American Indian story must be told from their perspective and from their “Indian” point of view, so that future generations will not continue to mistreat the Indian People as “Strangers In A Stolen Land” in the land of the free and the home of the brave in the United States of America’…. The book sells for $25 and will be presented, along with James, at the Duarte Festival of Books, in Duarte, on October 5. If you would like to contact the author, his email is james1966@verizon.net...

boss and he said I am out of here. Maybe it was because employees are not allowed to ask for autographs. During his time there he asked for autographs of some 700 Major League baseball players. I can’t imagine going to work each day with a new baseball in your pocket hoping for a autograph. Tommy brought several of the signed baseballs to the meeting, most notably Tommy John, Ron Cey, Don Newcomb, Joe Torre, and this year’s Grand Marshal Vin Scully who Tommy said was a real gentleman. This is not a volunteer job. When he started in 2000 he made $7.65 an hour and ended his careerin 2009 at $12.50 an hour. He needed to be there 2 hours before the game and 20 minutes after the game. He does not know how much all the signed balls are worth as his daughter threw him a fast ball and said they were hers when he meets the big Dodger in the sky.

FANVIEW By Joe Torosian “And I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in.”---The First Edition The only person in need of a win more than USC head coach Lane Kiffin this week was probably President Obama. However, good or bad, the President will stay the President...The USC head coach, might be a different story. Safe to say if the Trojans had lost to Boston College on Saturday, Kiffin would have needed the President’s Secret Service detail to get out of the Coliseum. Forget about keeping the job, Kiffin’s blood was on the line. Leaving the Coliseum the previous Saturday night (following the loss to Washington State), with fellow El Monte alum Rich Whittington, I never heard so many different people focused on one, singular, topic; the firing of Lane Kiffin. I understand it is the right of any fan who pays seven dollars for a hot dog to complain. No problem there...and I don’t have a problem. Only continual amazement about what gets our blood to boil and brings us together. Just in case you may have forgotten the bulk of us have spent our entire lives with nuclear missiles pointed at us. We live in a world where the problem with food is not that there isn’t enough, but that human failing causes starvation. We’ve seen pictures of chemical weapons. People are out of work, or scared of losing their job...Gas prices are climbing and milk costs more than ever... Yet we comply and go merrily along...but let our favorite college team lose and we lose it. Let our local football team lose...and we go beserk. El Monte football, spectacular in 2012, started this campaign 0-2 before defeating Bassett last Friday night. If you, per chance, read or heard some of the things people started saying about them on the message board you would have thought that they hadn’t won a game since 1994. It happens at El Monte, it happens at Arroyo...It’s happening to the Angels...It will happen again to the Dodgers. All I’m seeking, as I advance in my old age, is perspective... Even with all the life and death stuff looking us in the face... Even with our local teams struggling...We have to be grateful for what we do have. A little soap boxey but it works...At my church when

The Peterson Principal By Tim Peterson
According to the “fantasy experts” you never take a quarterback with the first pick in your draft. The running backs are where the bread is buttered they say and that’s where the points will come from. So of course I listened closely to their advice and with the first pick in the Mid-Valley Perspective Draft I chose Green Bay quarterback Aaron Rogers. I’m not going with no running back. Quarterbacks win games- especially when it comes to fantasy. Rogers, Drew Brees, Tom Brady, Peyton Manning – that’s who you have to grab. Manning, with his blockbuster performance in the opening night win over Baltimore racked up more than 70 points in some leagues. How is Rogers working out? Well he picked up 47 points for me on Sunday and the LA Express is 2-0. Oh and Adrian Peterson? The guy that was heralded by the most fantasy leagues as the number one pick? He had nine points. I know there was some rationale behind it, but it still makes me wonder why the Cowboys would attempt a 53 yard field goal with 3:53 left in the game down 17-13. Don’t you just go for it at that point? Kansas City ran out the clock and Dallas never had a chance to win... strange... Speaking of elite quarterbacks, is Phillip Rivers one? He threw for 419 yards Sunday in the Chargers 3330 win over the Eagles. He has big games, he’s a leader but at some point doesn’t he need to take that next step? Okay, enough of the NFL stuff. Let’s get to what’s really important – high
school football. If Temple City, which was outscored 99-8 in its first two games, beat Alhambra 38-7 Friday night. You got to wonder what type of struggles the Moors are going through. It’s not panic time in San Dimas, at least not yet. But at 0-3 there is concern. The Saints have lost to three Hacienda League opponents, which is arguably the toughest league in the area, but in two of the three games San Dimas has been blown out. Meanwhile, Northview, San Dimas’ biggest competition in the Valle Vista, is 3-0. This could be interesting. The Montebello Oilers are not 50 points better than South El Monte. They just aren’t. Sometimes things happen, it snowballs, etc. as was the case Friday night. The Eagles do however a concern at quarterback. When Mario Burciaga is forced to play there, it takes him away from all the other things he can be doing. And on the Montebllo side- Isaac Mendibles! You hate to use the phrase “quarterback controversy” in high school, but with Isaia Ahhing, playing for the injured Steven Nava, having a big night for Rosemead it will be mentioned. Paramo put it to rest for now after Thursday night’s win over South Torrance. No there’s no controversy, Nava’s the guy. Isaia was great tonight and it’s nice to have two quarterbacks but Nava is the guy.” Stay tuned... That’s my principle. Tim can be reached at tim@midvalleysports.com.

El Monte’s Lions Rally For Victory El Monte
By George Hernandez
After falling behind early the El Monte Lions rallied in the second half to defeat the visiting Bassett Olympians 28-14 on Friday night at El Monte High School. The Lions were led by quarterback Adrian Cuevas who went 10 of 12 in the second half for 150-yards and two touchdown passes, he finished 17 of 23 for 229-yards, 2-touchdowns
and an interception. El Monte running back Angel Gonzalez got 128 of his 190-yards in the second half long with his two scores, one a 66-yard run to paydirt. Roy Barrajas added 106 yards of offense (70-receiving, 36-rushing). Bassett quarterbacks Christopher Rios and Nicolas Colmenero finished a combined 4 of 14 for 20
yards but did have 137-yards on the ground with Rios getting a score. Running back Sergio Villa rushed for 96 yards and a score. Defensive tackle Luis Diaz anchored El Monte’s defensive line as they stopped four Bassett fourth down attempts in the second half.
Monrovia’s Wildcats Rush Past Arcadia’s Apaches Arcadia
By Corey Kwok
The Monrovia Wildcats overwhelmed Arcadia Apaches with a ground assault of 488 yards and seven touchdowns for an easy 49-7 non-league victory at Dick Salter Stadium. Kurt Scoby piloted the M-Town Express, rushing 12 times for 283 yards and five touchdowns for the Wildcats, whose quarterback Deshawn Potts racked up 177 all purpose yards and rushed for 114
of those, including a house call of his own for 64 yards. Cornerback Darius McClain made many pivotal defensive contributions in the first half for Monrovia. He forced a fumble (that was recovered by Alejandro Vega) on Arcadia’s second play from scrimmage, blocked a punt at the end of the Apaches’ second series, batted down two passes, and had an interception.
Arcadia quarterback Joey Harmon completed 15 of 31 passes for 201 yards and accounted for Arcadia’s lone paydirt strike of the game hitting Nico Cantos for a 60-yard score with 8:49 remaining in the second quarter. Cantos led the Apaches in receiving with four catches for 109 yards. Monrovia is now 2-0, Arcadia fell to 1-1.

healthy and ready to learn. Enhancing the current cafeteria sit-down breakfast programs offered at all 12 MVSD schools and all five EMUHSD comprehensive high schools, the Be a Rising Star program will provide an additional type of breakfast opportunity free of charge for all students. In MVSD, “Grab n’ Go” breakfast carts will be in place before school where students can simply grab a complete bagged breakfast as they arrive at school. The high school district will have breakfast vending machines on five campuses offering students a complete breakfast at their fingertips. “We want every student to eat a good breakfast before school, whether at home or on their school campus,” said Lillian Maldonado French, MVSD superintendent. “Numerous studies show that students who eat a nutritious breakfast are more prepared to learn and succeed in school. We are hopeful the additional breakfast opportunities the Be a Rising Star – Start Your Day with a Healthy Breakfast initiative this generous grant from AASA and Walmart is enabling our schools to provide, will encourage more students to start their day off with a healthy breakfast and enhance our goal of building healthy schools and a healthy community.” For over a decade, MVSD and EMUHSD have worked closely together to coordinate efforts to meet identified needs, work toward common goals, and address issues that impact students’ school success. Both districts continue to experiment with alternatives to the cafeteria breakfast to increase school breakfast participation. As participants in the National School Breakfast and Lunch Program, MVSD provides meals free
of charge to all students, and EMUHSD is eager to offer free breakfast for the first time to all students through the Be a Rising Star - Start Your Day with a Healthy Breakfast vending machines set to be implemented early in the 2013-14 school year. “We are excited about the opportunity to expand our breakfast program by offering alternative serving locations,” said Suzy Sayre, Director of Food Services for EMUHSD. “This would not be possible without the support of the American Association of School Administrators (AASA) and the Walmart Foundation.” Nick Salerno, EMUHSD superintendent, greatly appreciates the generous funding from AASA and Walmart, which enables the two school districts to collaborate to significantly improve the academic achievement and social well-being of students in their schools. “A nutritious morning meal brings health benefits as well as provides positive gains in concentration, energy, and other skills important for academic success. The ‘Start Your Day with a Healthy Breakfast’ program will form the centerpiece of the El Monte Union High School District’s 2013-2014 Health and Wellness initiative, designed to create healthier students and a healthier community,” said Salerno. According to MVSD’s Director of Food Services, Susan Delgado, MVSD has been fortunate to be able to provide free breakfast and lunch for students for many years. The new Grab n’ Go carts will be implemented at Kranz Intermediate School and Madrid Middle School at the start of the school year, and expand to the other 10 schools throughout the year. “More and more evidence points to the link between

Mid Valley News a healthy breakfast and academic performance. Our goal is to increase breakfast participation, support student academic achievement and have a positive impact on the overall health of our students,” said Delgado. We are grateful to AASA and the Walmart Foundation for this grant opportunity and for supporting our schools in our effort to bring focus onto our breakfast program. Food Service is a partner in the education process and we’ve been able to enhance our program with several nutrition education opportunities and now with the support of this grant it is our time to focus our kids and parents on breakfast.” EMUHSD Board Member, Salvador Ramirez, recognizes the value of empowering students with knowledge and resources to be healthy. “As a prior enlisted U.S. Marine and a member of the Board of the El Monte Union High School District, I believe it is critically important to teach young people about how to further their own health. This includes understanding the importance of eating breakfast and encouraging students to do so as part of a goal for lifelong fitness,” said Ramirez. “The Board, through its Health and Wellness initiative, actively supports a comprehensive series of projects in this area. We look forward to providing the education and motivation for our students to create a healthier community.” “I am very excited for this new expanded breakfast program in our schools,” said Patsy Sutley, MVSD Board President. “Student health and wellness are an important part of school readiness and success and we look forward to working with our counterparts in the El Monte Union High School District to provide more breakfast opportunities for our students.” The addition of MVSD’s Grab n’ Go carts and EMUHSD’s vending machines to the school breakfast program gives both districts the opportunity to serve additional healthy foods to more students in the morning, providing them a nutritious start to their day.
