Budding Anime Artist by Jo Anne Disney San Gabriel

Crystal Lin is a sophomore at San Gabriel Mission High School. Her dream is to become an Anime artist, designing games and decorative sculptors. In looking at her drawings and paintings, she is well on her way to realizing that dream. Crystal was born in Zhejiang, China which is close to Shanghai. She has been in the U.S. since 2012. Her interest in drawing began when she was only 3 years old. Crystal loved to draw all kinds of fish. So her mother decided to enroll her in art classes. Crystal’s art has been greatly influenced by one of her favorite artists, Hoshino Katsura, a Japanese Anime artist who draws the D. Gray-man comic. This Gothic-style of art is what Crystal loves to draw. She explains that some of the scenes are strange and mix in fantasy. Crystal thinks that some people think she is a dark person because she likes to draw Gothic scenes, including cats and vampire bats. But she says, “I am just a quiet person.” She credits her art teachers with helping her draw well. “My first teacher was my mom,” Crystal says. But she believes that her art teachers at SGMHS have helped her as well. Mr. Christopher Landinguin “helped me come up with ideas for my 2D art projects.” Mrs. Eugenia Heilweil “taught me very interesting techniques, including small illusions, pencil and charcoal techniques, wa-

tercolor techniques, pastels as well as composition and still life” which have greatly enhanced her artistic skills. According to Mrs. Heilweil, “The first time I saw Chrystal Lin’s art, I told myself, ‘What a natural talent. We have an amazing talent on our hands!’ Using three main colors: red, black and white, sometimes combined with yellow and blue, which enrich the already luxurious details of the paintings, Chrystal’s gothic style fantasy paintings become alive. The two color checkmate pattern repetitions of her paintings are rich in detail, which create the specific atmosphere and the drama of her gothic like stories.

It’s almost a novel whose finale doesn’t quite come, and leaves you anticipating more.” Mrs. Heilweil went on to say that, “using mostly markers as a medium, the shapes, the textures and the colors of Chrystal Lin’s artwork emphasize moods and feelings in an abstract way. All her strokes and designs are well placed and promote one deep idea and the struggle of an artist to find herself. Techniques of perspective are used to create the illusion of depth in a two-dimensional painting. We never stop admiring Chrystal’s work as we wonder and anticipate what will come next from this very talented young lady.” Upon graduation, Crystal hopes to attend the New York School of Art or the California Art Center.

WEBB'S RULES A HIGHER POWER by Eugene R. Webb

May 21, 2014

Local Graduation Dates Congratulation to the Classes of 2014. Much success to you in your future endeavors. From us here at Mid Valley News.

In this old world there’s a lot of things that’s sad; A higher power is what most people have never had. The good old U.S.A. was founded on In God We Trust. In our entire family, God and his son is a real must. Now perfect, that certainly is not any of our family; But I know that we are all better than we used to be. I can’t talk for everyone, but they do make me proud; We all enjoy speaking our mind and sometimes loud.

Arroyo High School – June 11th

So many people won’t go to church for even an hour; For they don’t believe or know what’s a higher power. Some people that are mentally sick are the last to know; They think they are in control, it’s the devil’s show.

El Monte High School – June 11th

There are some things that we don’t need to understand; Just believe in God and his son, and be their biggest fan. Let’s remember, God is the real Father to one and all; His sons & daughters, no grandchildren that I recall. If you want to forget all things that brings the blues; Then I suggest you wear an extra tight pair of shoes. But on people’s faces I do like to see a great big smile; For I do believe it helps to make my life worthwhile. You’re the only person that can actually change you; For it’s a job that nobody else can ever possibly do. Not even God can make the change, unless you ask him; You’ll love life, so open your heart and he’ll come in.

Rosemead San Gabriel Temple City Rosemead San Gabriel Temple City Memorial Day Ceremony hosted by the City of ‘Time Jockey’ Rosemead and Savannah Memorial Cemetery Local Landing by David Montgomery-Scott by Joe Castillo

Flying in El Monte … The El Monte Airport was first surveyed as a potential airport site in 1936 and was opened in 1938 by coowners Nick Lentine and G. Thompson, both of South Pasadena. The original purchase price of $10,000 included 35 acres of land located at the intersection of Tyler and Lambert Avenues. It was the perfect location for an airport as there were hardly any houses in the near vicinity. The property was bordered by the Lower Azusa Bridge to the north, the cement-less wash to the west and Santa Anita Avenue to the east. In 1940, Lentine opened a Junior Pilot’s Academy where students from local colleges trained to become the future pilots of airways. A popular breakfast restaurant, Annia’s, provides an excellent viewing location for planes taking off and landing at the airport. Also, one can hire a tour guide and take a ride through the southland skies…..Sailing through the Valley… On a visit to the San Gabriel Mission, I came across something which really appeared to be out of place. An old, rusty anchor was lying in the middle of the Mission gardens. The anchor was from the ‘Guadalupe,’ a 99-ton Top Sail Schooner. The ship was built at the Mission in 1830 by Joseph Chapman, Michael White and Thomas Paine, along with the help of a number of Gabrielino Indians. After the ‘Guadalupe’ was built, the ship was dismantled piece by piece and carted to San Pedro where the ‘Guadalupe’ was re-assembled and launched to sea. The ‘Guadalupe’ became the first ship built in California from native materials, and possibly the first ship to be built, disassembled, and re-assembled before even being placed in the water. Joseph Chapman was the person who directed the building of Chapman’s Mill and Millrace which was partially recovered during archaeological work associated with San Gabriel Grade Separation Project. Also, within the same vicinity at the Mission gardens was an authentic 1820’s cannon used to defend the Mission. The wooden cart holding the small cannon was restored and includes the wooden wheels, cannon carriage, stuffer and powder bucket. A cover is used to protect the cannon from the elements, while also

being designed to reflect the Mission era. ….Congratulations…. Richard and Dolly Salazar celebrated their 60th Anniversary last week at St. Luke’s Community Center along with a large crowd of family and friends. The Salazar’s were married on May 11, 1953 and lived for many years in San Gabriel before moving to San Fernando. They first met at a high school football game at Mark Keppel High School and then went on a first date dining at In-N-Out Burgers. Richard and Dolly raised five children who attended Mission Grammar School, and participated in youth sport activities such as Little League Baseball. Congratulations on having a love-filled 60 years of marriage…..

Joe T.’s Scoreboar d By Joe Torosian

First Off: Los Angeles Kings fans don’t worry, you have the Chicago Blackhawks right where you want them. Brave New World: You know the world is changing when I, Joe T., get contacted by Time Warner to help clear up the “misinformation” that is out there about the current Dodger television distribution deal. Before my ego began to pat itself on the back with self-importance, the clear thinking portion of my brain told me this is serious desperation. Think about this, we are heading into June and only thirty percent of the entire southland, which stretches up to Bakersfield, is able to see a Dodger game. Magic Johnson should stop talking NBA, Clippers, Donald Sterling, and instead discuss with his partners about how to clean up this mess. In 2014 every inning with Vin Scully behind the microphone is precious...we are being robbed.

The team defeated Bishop Amat Memorial High School’s varsity team 218 to 227 in the Del Rey League preliminaries on May 5 at the Rancho Park Golf Course in Los Angeles to take the top spot in the Del Rey League. In addition, six of the team’s seven golfers individually qualified for the league finals to be held on May 8 at the Wilson Golf Course in Griffith Park. Out of

five competing schools, the Bosco Tech team took six of only 16 spots available.

East Defeats West, 24-13, in Hall of Fame Game by Sports Staff Writer West Covina

Good News Department: Congrats to Baldwin Park’s Adolfo Velasquez and Susie Garcia, Arroyo’s Raymond Tan, and Temple City’s Benjamin Gray for advancing to the Division-2 CIF championship next week. Velasquez starred in the 1600 meters, Garcia the 800, Tan’s event was the long jump, while Gray excelled at the pole vault. Question: Does everything get better for the Los Angeles Lakers as they acquire Kevin Love from the Minnesota Timberwolves? “Survivor”: Does anybody out there watch “Survivor”? Looking forward to tonight’s finale...I think Tony is a lock. Love the show. Bad News Department: While it is good news several of our local teams have made the baseball and softball playoffs...it is bad news if we don’t like paying four dollars a gallon for gas. The La Puente baseball team, for example, has made it to the post-season...good for them...and they get to play in Templeton, California. Do you know where Templeton is?

With the 605 Freeway serving as the dividing line, much of the local talent played on the West side of the field. Among them were Arroyo quarterback Nathan Coto and Gabrielino wide receiver Jeremy Franco. The two Mission Valley League rivals connected midway through the third quarter on a 62-yard bomb that put the West squad up briefly 13-10. East, however, closed the

game out with a 20-yard touchdown pass from La Serna’s Frankie Palmer to Chino’s Malik Demby late in the third and a six-yard touchdown romp in the fourth by Bonita’s Jake Payton. Coto’s numbers at the end were four of five passes complete for 137 yards and a touchdown. Locals participating: West: Joseph Lopez (El Monte), Victor Nureldeen (Duarte), Sam Edwards (Duarte), DeShawn Potts (Monrovia), Nathan Coto (Arcadia), Kevin Loung (Arcadia), Stephen Cansino (Rosemead), Alejandro

Vega (Monrovia), Jose Moreno (Mt. View), Jesus Calvillo (Arroyo), Mario Burciaga (South El Monte), Nick Leon (Duarte), Chris Montoya (Gabrielino), Nate Tayco (Rio Hondo Prep), Steven Ruvalcaba (Rosemead), Miguel Hernandez (South El Monte), Richard Lopez (South El Monte), Avonte Moore (Monrovia), Mark Rangel (Arroyo), Joe Pinon (Arroyo), Josh Cano (Monrovia), Jake Fernthiel (Temple City), Lorenzo Rojas (Duarte), Jeremy Franco (Gabrielino), Mark Pachorek (Arcadia).

Picture of the Week

breathe. That being said it’s still a great game. Guys like Frankie Palmer, Nathan Coto and Joseph Mayorga get a chance to play one more time after memorable prep careers. And for some it is the last time they will ever play football. Sure it should be moved up to January and it probably will be. Sure it would be nice to see more players participate. But it’s a tradition that should never end and with proper support can only get better. Besides what other game could you see a player with a camera on his helmet like Bonita’s Jake Payton had? “It’s only for pregame,” Payton told me before the kickoff. We’ll that was good to know. That’s my principle. Tim can be reached at tim@ midvalleysports.com or on Twitter @tspeterson40

The South El Monte Eagles softball team kept the pressure on the Mission Valley League Friday afternoon as it blasted the Rosemead Panthers, 14-3, thanks to a 16 hit barrage. Junior shortstop Ashley Diaz homered, doubled, and drove in three runs for the Eagles, but she had help. Brittany Zepeda drove in four runs with a homer of her own, while Mia Luques and Alyssa Diaz each drove

in two runs. Luques finished the game going four for five, with a double. South El Monte was also aided offensively by three Panthers errors. In the circle Sierra Freire started and struck out four in five innings. Luques replaced her in the sixth and fanned three before sophomore Amanda Pimental closed the game by getting all three Rosemead batters she faced.

The Eagles are now 14-5 on the season, the Panthers have fallen to 0-19.

Every year for the last four years on the week of the Super Bowl I’ve conducted a poll of area football coaches on who would win the game. And every year I’ve received the same response from Roddy Layton. “I’m only concerned with Diamond Ranch football,” he would respond. I already knew the answer, especially after the first couple of years, but still I had to ask. “Diamond Ranch,” Layton said again this last February without hesitation. Layton was a guy so committed to his team that he couldn’t even give me a “Seahawks” or a “Packers.” It was always Diamond Ranch, even in February when the season opener was still seven months away. Layton was also a guy with a wealth of information and knowledge. Layton played at Ganesha before moving on to USC and had a firm grasp of the local scene. Layton was the kind of coach that you could talk football with all day. I would ask him one question and would receive a 10 minute answer. Talking to Layton at a practice or after a game wasn’t as much as an interview as it was an education for me. He would talk about a player’s size, ability and potential. He would point out his strengths and weaknesses. He would break down plays, schemes and formations in complete detail. I could learn more about football by talking to Layton for 30 minutes than I could by reading a 500 page book on the subject. Win or lose, Layton never declined to talk to me after a game. So I was sorry to hear over the weekend that he had stepped down as the head coach at Diamond Ranch. He confirmed it to me via a text message Saturday night. He informed the players Friday afternoon of his decision and advised some of the parents by e-mail. I don’t know all of the details. I might find out more this week. I’ve heard a few things but anything at this point would be pure speculation. At any rate I’ll miss talking football with him after a Friday night battle and wish him nothing but the best. Hope to see him on somebody’s sideline again soon. The Hall of Fame Game last Friday night at West Covina High School didn’t have me on the edge of my seat or biting my nails. There were no heart stopping, chest pounding moments. There was nothing so dramatic that I forgot to
