The Parks and Recreation, Jr. Recreation Leader Volunteers Hosted Alex’s Lemonade Stand by Lisa Del Real El Monte

In an effort to join the battle against childhood cancer, the El Monte Parks, Recreation and Community Services Department, Jr. Recreation Leader Volunteer Program hosted Alex’s Lemonade Stand at the Rockin’ Wednesday Summer Concerts on July 15th, 22nd,

29th, and August 5th. The Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation (ALSF) emerged from the front yard lemonade stand of cancer patient Alexandra “Alex” Scott (1996-2004). In 2000, 4-year-old Alex announced that she wanted to open a lemonade stand to raise money to help find a cure for all children with cancer. Since Alex held that first stand, the Foundation bearing her name, has evolved into a national fundraising movement, complete with thousands of supporters across the country carrying on her legacy of hope. Eighteen young El Monte Jr. Recreation Leaders, inspired by Alex’s story and cause, created a vision which read, “Today, we are dedicated to make a small yet impactful contribution to the world in the fight against childhood cancer, work hard

and make a difference”. They cut out a yellow lemon-shaped piece of cardboard and wrote their vision on it, and hung it over the lemonade stand every week. They were able to enroll and inspire hundreds of people into donating for this great cause. The Jr. Recreation Leaders’ goal was to raise

$400.00. Through their commitment and determination they exceeded that goal and raised a total of $925.00! On September 8, 2015, the Jr. Recreation Leaders were acknowledged for their accomplishments at the El Monte Council Presentation. The Jr. Recreation Leader Volunteer Program launched

in September of 2014. In their first year, the Jr. Recreation Leaders worked side-by-side with city staff at special events such as the Holiday House and the Emily Ishigaki Children’s Day Parade and Harvest Festival. They also volunteered their time to deliver a sandwich bag lunch, warm clothing,

Webb'S Rules COINCIDENCE by Eugene R. Webb

Coincidence is a God thing; And happiness is what it brings. I've heard others call it a God shot; Since getting sober it happens to me a lot.

It'll take a stranger and make them a friend; It's a wonderful way for a new life to begin. I went into the Chase Bank not too long ago; To deposit some checks and get some dough. Now I know God directed me to this tall teller; He turned out to be a real nice feller. He said, "Mr. Webb did you write a book"? I said, "Why yes, I've written three, at him I looked". Just because I was wondering how he knew; On each check was written "book" in full view. He asked, "What kind of books would they be"? I said, "Alcohol, friends, and relation all in poetry". Edgar said, "I'd sure be interested in the alcohol one"; I would say that is when our friendship begun. When I saw him again, he said, "His girlfriend knew me"; I had met Jennifer years ago at another bank, you see. Edgar plays a guitar, writes music, and poetry too; He has a lot of wonderful things he plans to do. Meeting this thoughtful man was God showing love; It's Jennifer and Edgar that I have been thinking of.

‘Time Jockey’ Finding the Plaque by Joe Castillo

Update …. A number of months ago, I asked for your help in trying to locate information on the plaque honoring World War II veterans which was installed in front of the San Gabriel Country Club and located on the corner of Las Tunas Drive and County Club Drive. A number of people recalled the plaque being at the location and was made of wood and glass. It was located at the site for a number of years but no one really knew what happened to it. The Country Club had no information on its whereabouts and information from the city has not yet been presented. A list of 123 Spanish-speaking World War II veterans has been identified however I am not quite convinced that those are the same names which were listed on the original plaque. I have located another source which describes the plaque in a little more detail. The source confirmed a memorial of brick and glass was installed at the same location. The memorial honored the young men who fought and some who died for their county in World War II. It was dedicated by members of the American Legion, Red Cross and other patriotic and civic groups in the city. The idea of the memorial was presented by Mrs. Alick Barlow and C.C. Pearson, and was fully presented and supported by the Women’s Division of the Chamber of Commerce. The ceremony included a parade and the raising of a flag provided by Mrs. Susan Whittington, in memory of her son Charles who was killed in the war. The memorial contained the list of 87 young men from San Gabriel who died during the war. If anyone has any additional information of the plaque or any soldiers from San Gabriel who were killed during World War II, please contact me at joeacastillo@aol.com. … Oil History…. Southern California has been the home of many industries including aerospace, aviation, movies, citrus and fast food. But the oil industry, also known as black gold, had a significant boom in the Southland. In Santa Paula, the restored former headquarters of the Union Oil Company, is now the home of the California Oil Museum. The museum is

state-of-the-art, interactive and well organized and structured. There are handson displays, videos, working models, photographs and memorabilia from the early days of oil discovery in Ventura and Santa Barbara counties to the establishment of refineries and transportation throughout California. In addition, a collection of Norton Motorcycles is on display with models from the 1930’s through 2013. But perhaps the highlight of the museum is a replica 1900 oil rig which is housed in its own building. The oil rig is still in working condition and visitors can observe its mechanical movements as it automatically goes through its pump, extract and drill actions. If you want to learn more about the growth of oil in Southern California, the California Oil Museum is well worth your time and it’s an easy and enjoyable drive to Ventura….

Dinner For Two – You And Your Dog by Brittany Thomas National

Dinnertime for many dogs involves the owner ripping open a bag, pouring kibbles into a bowl and walking away. Not the stuff of a meaningful relationship. Kris Rotonda likes to take an occasional break from that routine and give his four dogs – Rocky, Coco, Kobe and Jordan – a special treat. Rotonda and his fiancée, Denise Fernandez, prepare the canine quartet cooked meals using recipes they share on their Doggy Cooking Network on Youtube. Rotonda sees it as a way to occasionally give his pets what he refers to as the “Royal ‘Treat’ Ment.” “I started cooking for my dogs because it’s a healthier way to go for meals,” Rotonda says. “Plus, it’s just fun and my dogs are an important part of my life.” His doggie devotion now has inspired him to develop a creation he calls the PupPot (www.puppot.com), a cooking, serving and storage system for preparing those homemade meals for dogs. The PupPot consists of a 3.8-quart stainless steel cooking pot, a paw-shaped serving base and two serving and storage bowls. Rotonda and Fernandez also put together an e-book with recipes. For Rotonda, the PupPot just seemed like the “logical

next step.” “I figured that if Denise and I were teaching people to cook for their dogs, it just made sense to provide them with the right tool,” he says. Dr. Jena Questen, a holistic veterinarian, says taking that extra time for preparing those meals can be worthwhile. The benefits of feeding a dog homemade dog food include reducing the risk of skin allergies, boosting their immune system, improving their digestive system, as well as giving them renewed energy. “It’s no different from humans,” Questen says. “We couldn’t eat the same processed food every day and maintain optimum health, and neither can our pets.” Chicken Cakes Ingredients ½ cup cooked brown rice

¼ cup of peas, thawed 1/3 cup of rotisserie chicken, meat shredded 1 egg 2 Tbsp. plain breadcrumbs ½ tsp of dried parsley 1 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil Directions 1. In a medium bowl, stir together the rice, peas, chicken, egg, breadcrumbs and parsley. Form into 4 equally sized patties. 2. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken patties and cook, turning once, until golden-brown for approximately 7-8 minutes. Remove from the skillet and let cool slightly. For more Rotonda's recipes go to midvalleynews. com for a few more samples.

Donate Blood through the Red Cross in Final Weeks of Summer by Tony Briggs National

The American Red Cross urges blood donors to give in the final weeks of summer to help prevent a blood shortage. Blood donations often decline in August as final summer vacations are planned and back-to-school activities ramp up. On average, during the summer months, about two fewer donors give blood at each Red Cross blood drive than what is needed. Donations are needed now to help ensure blood is available for patients in need. Donors with types AB, O negative, B negative and A negative blood are especially encouraged to donate. Plasma from type AB donors can be transfused to patients of any blood type, as can type O negative blood. Type B negative and A negative blood can be transfused to Rh-positive or negative patients. These are the most in demand blood types and are in constant need. To make an appointment to give blood, download the Red Cross Blood Donor App, visit redcrossblood. org or call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767).

Voorhis School Mustangs Ride with Pride by Michele Earle El Monte

Principal, Carolina Galaviz congratulated the students on an amazing first two weeks of school and shared how proud she was of all of them for working hard to follow the PBIS strategies. “Here at Voorhis it’s all about pride!” said Galaviz. “Our theme for our PBIS program is PRIDE and each letter represents what we want to be as students here at Voorhis. The P is for productive, the R is for responsible, the I is for indepen-

Mt Sierra College Partners with Monrovia Association of Fine Arts for 52nd Annual “Celebrate the Arts” by Tawny Hernandez Monrovia

Mt Sierra College is a private college that offers five different Bachelor Degree Programs that include Business, Technology, Network Communications, Media Arts and Game Arts. This year they were contacted by a fellow community member, the Monrovia Association of Fine Arts (MAFA), to see how they could build a bridge between the organizations to create a new flair to MAFA’s annual 2-day art show in the park. Gladly, Mt Sierra College accepted the challenge and began the hunt for talented students to showcase their work. “Our hopes are to have as many students present their talents and artwork along with participate in the Chalk Fest. Mt Sierra College appreciates all of these wonderful opportunities to help our students grow and advance in their field of study,” stated Director of Career Services, Tawny Hernandez. “We are proud to partner with our city and thankful to have their support!” Some of the art forms on display will include Oil, Acrylic, Watercolor and Mixed Media Painting, Ceramics, Glass and Stained Glass, original Jewelry, Photography, Digital Photography and Digital Art, Printmaking, Line Art and Sculpture consisting of metal, wood, ceramic, stone or other media. The free event will also feature live entertainment, kid’s art activities, a silent auction of artists’ work, and food trucks. All funds raised will help MAFA continue to provide art education to our

local youth. “Featuring the work of Mt. Sierra students in our show helps us fulfill both parts of our mission,” said MAFA Board Member Christine Geltz, “ We are pleased and proud to work with the staff and students to create this partnership opportunity.” MAFA’s twofold mission is to enhance the lives of those within our community through interaction with the arts and increase the op-

portunities of our children through art education. Its member artists provide art education throughout the year to local children and youth. And its frequent shows and exhibits help to promote the work of local artists. www.monroviafinearts.org The Monrovia Association of Fine Arts is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.

Joe T.’s Scoreboar d By Joe Torosian

In my short time playing fantasy sports I’ve had three championships: two in football and one in baseball. While football remains my favorite sport, I believe I enjoy fantasy baseball better than fantasy football. In fantasy football a bad Sunday can ruin your entire week. In fantasy baseball a bad Sunday is quickly forgotten after a good Monday. In baseball there are countless players to scout and sign. In football, if you have a bad draft your season is over with the snap of a finger. Just a thought. ***Did you know that 1,086,627 students play high school football? Of that number 70,147 will play NCAA football. The NFL will scout 6,500 of them of which just 350 will be invited to the NFL Scouting Combine. The NFL Draft is held every April where the league selects 256 players. The average length of an NFL career? Three years. Football is a great sport, but acquiring skills outside of football is far more important. MidBits: *** “For the last decade or so, it seems like the Raiders have been playing with the patch on the good eye.”--Dennis Miller *** Monrovia is 0-2 to start the football season for the first time since 2001. ***Tim Tebow is released by the Philadelphia Eagles and remains unsigned with the NFL season set to begin Thursday night. *** The Dodgers have brought up 21-year old shortstop Corey Seager. In 15 at-bats, over the weekend, Seager collected five hits and drove in three runs. He should be the starter next season.

'The Mid' Football Top 10 Another bad week for the local teams. We thought about making this top ten a bottom ten for a while.

The Peterson Principle By Tim Peterson

They were done, cooked, toast. It wasn't a matter of if they fall, but when. Bonita had as much of a chance of winning this game as I did of being named the starting middle linebacker for the Green Bay Packers. Monrovia was up by four, 30-26, and Bonita was faced with a fourth down and 12 at the Monrovia 17 with less than two minutes remaining. The Bearcats had already converted a fourth and 17 three plays earlier when a pass play only covered 11 yards, but Monrovia was hit with a controversial personal foul penalty to keep the drive alive. So now they're faced with another fourth down...a live or die fourth down. Who will the Bearcats go to? Maybe Darren Ireland who had caught six passes for 60 yards? Or maybe B.J. McLaurin, who had already rushed for 120 yards, would catch one out of the backfield and work his magic. No, instead Tanner East faded pack and heaved one high and deep into the right corner of the end zone. The ball appeared to be heading out of bounds. Neither the Bonita receiver nor the Monrovia DB was going to get this one. It looked like it was game over. Wildcats survive. But instead number 15, wearing Bonita white, leaped out of the sky, pulled it in and came down with the ball. Was he in? Out? Did he hold on to the ball? From my vantage point on the far sideline I had no idea. Then after a slight hesitation the official threw his arms in the sky. Touchdown Bearcats! A stunned Monrovia crowd sat motionless. Who's number 15? That's what I wanted to know. A quick glance at my stat sheet showed that he hadn't caught a pass all night. “Was that 15?” I asked a Bonita stat guy. He assured me it was. “But he didn't catch a pass all night! That's his first one!” “Yeah, I know,” he replied, the smile never leaving his face. Number 15 is Josh Peifer, a senior, listed as a tight end and an outside linebacker. No catches on the night until that one...but what a huge one it was. The biggest play of the night, and no doubt the greatest of his prep career. But still it wasn't over. Monrovia, now down three had the ball at their own 34 after the kickoff. With guys like Asaph Zamora, Aubrey Mosley and Canaan

Dark Knights Defeat Rams, 35-6 by Joe Torosian El Monte

Chandler, there was still a chance. On the next play it was over. Definitively, authoritatively, decisively over. Dylan Flores, a junior, stepped in front of a Zamora pass on the near sideline and raced 35 yards for a touchdown. The clock read 1:26. As NBA announcers like to frequently say “Dagger!” Dagger, arrow, spike, whatever you want to call it, it was driven right through the heart of Monrovia. It's early in the season. The Wildcats will bounce back and hopefully won't remember this. But for Bonita, and especially Josh Peifer and Dylan Flores, it was an unforgettable night.

After playing an ugly first half, the Arroyo Knights cleaned and tightened things to take a 35-6 victory over the visiting Temple City Rams on Friday night at B.L. Bergstrom Stadium. The win was the Knights seventh in a row over their longtime rivals, but it was a struggle early. Arroyo blew several scoring opportunities with dropped passes and a fumble. The miscues opened the door long enough for the

Rams to stay in the contest and trail just 14-6 at halftime. “We stopped shooting ourselves in the foot,” said Arroyo HC Jim Singiser. “You can’t do things like that. It’s a young group. They figured it out. They came out at halftime and went right down the field and did what they had to do. We figured it out, but we can’t do things like that to start a game.” Quarterback Humberto

Pantoja was the spark for the Knights offense. He threw for one touchdown and ran for another in the first half before throwing for two more in the second. The final being a 96-yard strike early in the fourth quarter to Jacob Robledo. Temple City’s lone score came when Paul Kosanovich hit Matthew Gravel on a 6-yard scoring toss near the end of the first half.

That's my principle. Tim can be reached at: tim@midvalleysports.com and on Twitter @tspeterson40. Arroyo head coach Jim Singiser gives a thumbs up after talking to his defense Friday night. Photo by Joe T.

We’re all trained in how we go to a football game. Clothing, maybe blankets, phone, and an early departure to beat the traffic. What we don’t see are all of the things that take place before the kick-off. The people who get the field ready. The audio workers who make sure the sound equipment is working. The volunteers who manage the gates and smile while taking your order at the snack bar. The students we tend to think of are the 11 players in uniform for the home team. If we are big fans we might consider the players on the visiting team. However, beyond those 22 on the field there are hundreds more who are part of the band as well as the drill, flags, cheer, choreo, and dance teams. So the next time you head out to Marinelli Stadium at Rosemead, or B.L. Bergstrom at Arroyo, take your eye off the field for a few minutes and notice all the

Leo Be disciplined. Maintain your boundaries in order to keep from getting swept into other people’s soap operas, Leo.

Virgo Don’t go overboard, Virgo. You may get so carried away in the early part of the day that by evening you notice you’ve gone beyond your own boundaries. Regret may sink in, and you may feel guilty about things you said or did.

Libra People may be trying to subtly communicate to you, but you may not be aware of this because you’re so caught up in your own difficulties, Libra.

Scorpio You may feel like you aren’t getting the attention you need or deserve, Scorpio. Because of this, you may resent the people you feel you should be getting it from.

Sagittarius Try not to push away the very people who are there to help you, Sagittarius. Dumping your problems on others may be the thing that does just that.

Capricorn Your adaptive powers are useful in that they give you a high tolerance for uncomfortable situations, Capricorn. At times, however, this trait may not serve you very effectively.

Aquarius You may feel lonely and isolated, like there’s no one you can talk to, Aquarius.

You may put other people’s needs before yours, Cancer. There’s an important balance between being selfish and being selfless.

Don’t fall into the self-pity trap, Pisces. You may have a tendency to mope around until someone notices and asks what’s wrong. If no one does, you might get angry and pretty soon feel like you have no friends.

Troop 551 continued from page 4

finished all 10 events and still had about an hour and a half of time left. 551 had the least amount of Scouts and competed against 7 other Patrols from California. At the end of the events, we believed that our Patrol had a very good chance to win, we knew our Patrols scores but no other Patrols. But when the Official asked our Troop to do the Closing Day Flag Ceremony (Presenting and raising of the American Flag)…we

thought maybe? At the Award Ceremony, Patrol 551 was awarded Fist Place and received 2 trophies, first they were awarded the first place trophy to be displayed at the American Legion Post 261 El Monte. The second trophy is the large Traveling Trophy which has the names of all the Patrols who have won in the past, we will safeguard this trophy for the next year and we will have to compete and defend at the 35th

American Legion Camporee to keep it. We are Proud of this young Patrol, we last won in 2010 and it will be very nice to see the new Plaque with: Patrol 551 Knights El Monte CA. Again, thank you to our Sponsors, Leadership, Family and Friends for all your support throughout the years. This is what makes Scouting successful.

LA County Fair Loves Tribute Bands by Sal Gomez Pomona

There are many reasons to visit this year’s 2015 edition of the Los Angeles County Fair in Pomona. Who could resist the deep fried treats that no one could enjoy anywhere else; the

rides and attractions; and the live entertainment at the grandstand stage featuring world famous artists? The list could go on and on. However, this year the fair will also feature some of

the best tribute bands in the world. In fact you could say they are the World's Greatest Tribute Band according to AXS TV. Showcased inside the fair's brand new “nightclub” venue inside building

photos by Sal Gomez

10, Grinding Gears kicks off this week with the Queen tribute band “Queen Nation” performing twice this week, first on Labor Day evening beginning at 6:00pm and continuing with 4 sets with the last set starting at 9:15pm. “Queen Nation” will then perform again on Thursday night Sept 10th. Other tribute bands scheduled to perform at Grinding

Gears throughout the run of the fair will be “Alice in Cooperland,” a tribute to Alice Cooper, DSB – A tribute to the band “Journey & Dog & Butterfly” – a tribute to the band “Heart.” To view the full tribute band schedule for the fair please visit: http://www. lacountyfair.com/listen/ tribute-bands/

Their contrasts add to the comedy and test the boundaries of their friendship. The third buddy is the AT itself. “Walk” was filmed on the trail. The crew had to hike in equipment for iconic shots of McAfee Knob, worn-out boots decorating trees at Neels Gap, and the Great Smoky Mountains. Director Ken Kwapis and cinematographer John Bailey used 35mm film and digital to fully capture the AT’s natural beauty and challenging terrain. Emma Thompson is excellent as Catherine, providing the perfect balance for Redford’s Bryson. Her no-nonsense, loving approach supports a husband who, despite

being a successful writer, often puts his foot in his mouth. Nick Offerman’s wry delivery as an REI salesclerk is perfect in a scene that could have been extended. Occasionally Rick Kerb and Bill Holderman’s script misfires. Kristen Schaal’s performance is not to blame for how grating her know-itall hiker is. And, Katz’s less than respectful comments about women could have been limited without losing any humor. Overall, you’ll be entertained along the AT with Redford and Nolte.

Hitting the Trail by Annick J. Downhower National

Would you consider hiking a trail that requires 5 million steps to complete? What if it meant you’d climb an elevation equal to scaling Mount Everest 16 times? Before answering, go see “A Walk in the Woods” which involves such a hike. Based on the New York

Times best-selling novel of the same name, this comedy stars Robert Redford as Bill Bryson, a successful travel novelist. He encounters a sign for the Appalachian Trail (AT) while taking a walk after a hard day. His curiosity sparked, Bryson starts making plans to hike

all 2,180 miles of the AT, despite many objections from his wife, Catherine (Emma Thompson). Seeing his resolve, Catherine gives one ultimatum: “You are NOT doing this alone!” When she doesn’t volunteer to come along, Bryson begins calling friends. None are takers. But then Stephen Katz (Nick Nolte) contacts Bryson after hearing about the trip secondhand. Bryson and Katz grew up together, traveled through Europe as young men, but have been out of touch for 40 years. Undeterred by their lack of physical fitness, they decide to take on the AT. Along the way, they reminisce, catch up, and uncover things about themselves. Most of the plot involves three characters – Bryson, Katz and the AT. Redford optioned the novel’s film rights. He intended to costar alongside Paul Newman, with whom he made the classic buddy movies “Butch and the Sundance Kid” and “The Sting.” However, Newman passed on before the project could begin. Redford found a new Katz for “Walk” when he directed Nolte in 2012’s “The Company You Keep.” The two portray men who took very different paths. Happily married Bryson’s career is stalled; he doesn’t want to be just “waiting for the end.” Katz is a perpetual skirt chaser with an alcohol issue.
