Small towns breed closeness; Hamilton High’s Graduating Class of 2014 will be missed by Allison Renck The people of the mountain communities attending Hamilton High School’s 2014 Graduating Ceremony appeared to be extra proud of the sons and daughters they were sending off to start adult lives. It was evident in the senior video presentation made by senior Mary Terlisner that these young adults

had inherited their volunteer sprit from this community; each and every one of them was a hard worker and it showed, according to Senior Advisor Julie Cope. “This class of 2014 are worker bees; either they are slow and steady or making a mad dash to finish, but in the end they have done what they came here to do,” Cope said.

The video presentation informed the audience of each individual student’s activities and their plans for the future. After the video was over, students and faculty took the stage to speak and commemorate the end of another school year. Hamilton Valedictorian Savannah Brengle took the stage to give her speech; she was not only cheered on by her family and

friends, but also her former second grade teacher Alison Jordan. Jordan had come to watch her former student shine and make her valedictorian speech. Jordan, who now teaches at Cottonwood School, said Savannah had been a hard worker even in second grade. She was a sweet girl who was

Memorial Day; Boy Scout Troop 371 honors those that have served

Every year the Anza Days Committee chooses someone they wish to honor to be the Grand-Marshall for the Anza Day Parade. This year they have chosen Raymond Castellano of Anza. The following biography was submitted by Roy Addison of the Anza Days Committee: Raymond Castellano is a soft spoken, mild mannered 84-yearyoung gentleman who has been married for more than 64 years to his wife Elida (Ellie as she is affectionately known). At first glance, Raymond appears to be vibrant, well fit and healthy as he still projects an impressively impeccable appearance whether in civilian or military attire; however, he has confided in a chosen few that though he is eternally grateful to be able to rise from sleep each morning beside his lovely wife. He is not as successful as he’d like to be in concealing the everyday pains that routinely consume his days and nights. Raymond entered the United States Marine Corps (USMC) in 1947 from San Antonio. And though he only stands 5-foot6-inches tall, the old adage that big things can come in small packages

Health Sun poisoning, sunburns linked to accelerated skin aging and skin cancer A trip to the beach is an enjoyable way to spend a day. With warm waves lapping at your feet and a good book to enjoy, hours relaxing at the seaside tend to pass by quite quickly. While such days are often comfortable and relaxing, if you aren’t careful, you may be putting yourself at risk of sunburn and sun poisoning. see page B-8

Lake Riverside Estates Memorial Day Service, recognizes those that have served or lost a love one that served.

By Allison Renck The small gated community of Lake Riverside Estates (LRE) held a Memorial Day service at its community center on Monday May 26 hosted by Boy Scout Troop 371, the area’s local troop. The event featured an opening of the flag salute, singing of the

national anthem, patriotic readings and personal reflections about those that had served this country. A special remembrance for LCPL Jeromy D. West of the U.S. Marine Corps was read. West was a local young man that had lived in LRE and had died in military service in 2006. His mother, Lisa West Klopf, was

given a gold star quilt, which the local Anza Quilting Club members had stitched with love and care. Those that had served or lost a loved one that had served, were asked to come to the front and were given a red rose, in recognition. The ceremony concluded with the flag being lowered, while Aaron Foye read a description of

Hamilton High School 2014 Seniors Recognized By Allison Renck Hamilton High School’s best and brightest seniors were honored on May 27 in Hamilton High School’s Garry Packham Gymnasium. Family and friends were in abundance, cheering on these young adults that would soon be launched into unknown territory. Principal Dave Farkas opened the ceremony with a thank you to Jean Fraizer and Tena Canchola for all the hard work they did to present this year’s “2014 Senior Awards” ceremony. Then the Principal passed the microphone to School Counselor Jason Sonnier, who was the master of ceremonies for the evening. On the left side of the stage sat dignitaries that would be honoring the students with various awards and scholarships. These dignitaries represented many different organi-

zations that were honoring students with scholarships and medals. When Principle Farkas gave the “Principle Award” to Elly Paxton, he told the audience that she has a great work ethic and lots of energy for completing tasks to boot. Seniors were recognized that applied for and met criteria for California Grants program for higher education. These grants totaled $54,750.00 A total of $54,654.00 in scholarships was awarded to various seniors. The majority of these scholarships were given by local organizations located in the mountain communities area. It appears that the generosity of this area will give many seniors of the class of 2014 the money they need to begin their adult journey at a college or trade school.
