“City with a Mission” began their festivities with an award winning entry float at the 2013 Rose Parade. Since then, there have been several events to commemorate 100 years as an incorporated city that began April 23, 1913. San Gabriel is known for its deeply rooted GabrielinoTongva Indian Tribe, the historical Mission San Gabriel Arcángel, and landmark adobe homes. The city is also known for the Wham-O Inc. manufacturing plant where products like the hula hoop, the Frisbee and the Slip-N-Slide were developed and manufactured. The city also has a
rich music history that stems from residents who were raised in San Gabriel, educated in San Gabriel and reside

stories, and live music will highlight the cities music history from the 1950’s to present day.
Temple City High School has met the challenge and successfully raised $100,000 required to receive an additional $100,000 in matching funds from an anonymous TCHS alumnus. TCHS Principal Mary Jo King announced, “Thanks to generous donations from parents, students, staff, and community members, TCHS has raised $87,301.51.” She continued with a surprise an-
by Lynne Burkardt
nouncement, “TCHS has also met its goal to raise $100,000 thanks to the generosity of Frank Wu, who donated $12,800 on behalf of the Hakka Foundation and the Temple City Schools Foundation who donated $37,500.” Last Spring, Temple City High School received a $250,000 donation from an anonymous alumnus. With this money, the donor is funding projects on campus that
focus primarily on upgrading much of our outdated technology for both students and staff and will include an additional brand new computer lab to be installed in our Media Center. All projects were completed by September 30, 2013. This same alumnus offered an additional $100,000 to Temple City High School if it could raise $100,000 in matching funds by September 30, 2013. Again, the donor has
targeted technology as the area of emphasis. “With this additional $200,000, we will make strides in bringing Temple City High School into the 21st century in terms of technology,” added Principal King. Temple City High School serves students in Grades 9-12 in the Temple City Unified School District. For more information about TCHS, call 626-548-5040.

Around Town by Mavis Hansen Holidays are lots of fun, some require lots of preparation and many are gift-giving times. Some holidays require no preparation, no making of or purchasing gifts and for many are extra time off from their job. Many are in honor of or because of something eventful……and here we have Columbus Day. Formerly observed on October 12th and now on the second Monday in October. This holiday, honoring Christopher Columbus’ sighting of America on October 12, 1492, is observed in the United States, Canada and in some cities in Italy and Spain. Although Columbus was not the first explorer to set foot in the Western Hemisphere, his landing at San Salvador Island, now known as the Bahamas, opened the way for the settlement of America by Europeans. It is thought that the first celebration honoring the event was held in 1792. Columbus Day became a legal holiday in the United States in 1892, 400 years after the famous voyage. It was then called Discovery Day. Some cities hold parades and festivities honoring the holiday. If you have children in school, you can be sure that they will bring home artwork and stories of what they have learned about the discovery of our great nation. However you enjoy this special day, have a good time! A WREATH LAYING CEREMONY commemorat-

Student's Corner Charlotte Eriksson: A Glass Child Charlotte Eriksson, pseudonym “a Glass Child,” is a Swedish singer/songwriter living in the rich lights of London, England. The once-poster girl of “perfect daughter,” Charlotte let go of the society-expected life at the age of ten, when she started to question, well, everything. In her debut book, Empty Roads and Broken Bottles: In Search for the Great Perhaps, she relates, “I was a daughter to be proud of, until I turned ten and realized that this way of living doesn’t make sense. I started to question, read about other places, other worlds, how other people lived….” Her youth was spent looking for answers, and after high school, she went for a “oneway plane ticket to London, hoping to never come back again.” After a while, Charlotte came to believe that her primary extinct to survive in this world is to live alone. Cut from family, friends, and a home, it seems better to not let anyone or anything hold you back from your dreams. So, she hit the road, hoping to find something more. Then, another revelation

dawned on the singer. After a time off from performing and interviewing, the Glass Child understood that people and society are as amazing and hypnotizing as music and solitude. I first found Charlotte on the social media site Twitter. At a younger age, I listened to her music, but didn’t fully grasp her emotions or intensity. Three years later, after a few trials and tribulations of my own, I feel that I can understand her music and lyrics a little bit more fully. Charlotte’s voice is raw, guilty, loving, sad, reminiscent, and everything else in between. Furthermore, her book is an amazing anecdote of her life (so far) as the Glass Child. It always baffles me that she can survive with only the comfort of her guitar, her music, and the hospitality of strangers. I don’t think there are many people who can find the courage within them to venture into such a feat, especially in this dangerous society such as ours. Eriksson is a brave woman, adamant in her belief to be a better version of herself. A lot of people think that they
by Ashley Lanuza
are already the best form of themselves, but most of them are probably wrong. Every day, we continue to grow, to learn, to accept and to understand. Our own expectations of ourselves cease to exist when we finally understand that we can still be so much more. Take the time to listen to Charlotte Eriksson, a.k.a. the Glass Child, on youtube. com/aglasschild or on the music player Spotify. Also, be sure to take the time to read her debut book Empty Roads and Broken Bottles: In Search for the Great Perhaps, available on e-book on Amazon or a physical copy on http://www.theglasschild. bigcartel.com! I promise that her book will change your perspective on life, heroes, and that homeless person you see on the corner of the street. But if somehow you cannot get your hands on a copy of her book, keep in mind one of Charlotte’s personal philosophies: “I believe in knowing who you are but without limiting yourself to your own expectations of who you are.”

El Monte Union High School District to Hold Annual College Night So. El Monte
Students and their parents will have an opportunity to obtain information from representatives of colleges and universities, and learn the critical steps needed to make college a reality at the El Monte Union High School District's annual College Night. In partnership with New Futuro, the event is designed to give parents and students the opportunity to familiarize themselves with the steps in the college planning process and will
by Anne Donofrio-Holter
feature a college fair and Road to College workshop. "We provide a high-touch, high-tech bilingual educational community to help families get their students into college and beyond. We offer tools, resources and ongoing guidance to help Latinos achieve their educational and career goals," said a New Futuro spokesperson. "The New Futuro Road to College workshops give you the inspiration and tools you need to prepare,
apply and pay for college. When you attend, you receive a 10-step college plan and workbook to guide you into college. And don't miss your chance to win scholarships!" Representatives from public and private colleges and universities will be on hand to answer questions about admission requirements, financial aid and scholarship programs. Hosted each year by a different school, this year's event will take place at South El
Monte High School, located at 1001 Durfee Avenue in South El Monte, on Monday, October 28, from 4:30 to 7:00 pm. Free bus shuttles are available for all students at the comprehensive school sites. Students can obtain a permission slip at the school's Career Center. Students must present their school I.D. to be admitted to the event. “College Night is a great opportunity for students and their parents to learn about the
many educational choices they have for the future,” said Margina Berg, career guidance coordinator. "Well attended each year, College Night gives students and their parents a wealth of educational information as well as the opportunity to learn about the many choices available to them after high school. We encourage students from all grade levels and their parents to attend this very worthwhile event."
South El Monte High School Opens Hydration Station So. El Monte
For the past two years, members of the Emerald Jewel Club of South El Monte High School have worked to raise funds to purchase equipment for a hydration station which is now up and running in the school's main corridor. "Club members are very pleased with the response to
the hydration station," said Principal Oscar Cisneros. The station, which was ready for use on the first day of the new school year, has already filled over 3,000 bottles with chilled and filtered drinking water. "While encouraging students to drink more water for better health, the reuse of plastic bottles benefits the environment," said one club member. "Funds to purchase the equipment were raised entirely by members of the club by selling hot dogs and other items after school," said
by Anne Donofrio-Holter
Cisneros. "This year, club members plan to raise funds for a plaque to mark the station and commit future students to its upkeep." Club members also attended the South Coast Air Quality Management District's "A World We Can Change" conference. "Our goals were encouraged and strengthened by attending and
by meeting students from other environmental clubs
and organizations," said another member.
El Monte High School Hosts Blood Drive for Pediatric Cancer Awareness
El Monte
El Monte High School hosted its second annual pediatric cancer awareness blood drive on September 11 in conjunction with Children's Hospital of Los Angeles and the American Red Cross. The event was spearheaded by the school's American Red Cross Club students along with assistance from other school service organizations. Students planned the logistics of the event along with donor recruitment and fundraising. "It's the ultimate satisfaction of saving lives, not only through the Red Cross, but through Children's Hospital and their focus on the patients they serve," said Hector Ortiz

of the American Red Cross. "I love the fact the blood from El Monte High School is going directly to Children's Hospital," said Raul Gonzalez of Children's Hospital. In addition, the school's September 13 football game was dedicated to pediatric cancer awareness and featured a parade of motorcycles and classic cars. "The students at El Monte High School did an excellent job in recruiting donors and we look forward to increasing our blood donations for the remainder of the school year," said Assistant Principal Joseph Vu. Arturo Marin, head R.N. from Children's Hospital, thanked the students for their help and hoped they would continue to donate blood in
the future. According to the American Childhood Cancer Organization, each year in the United
States approximately 13,000 children from birth through 19 years of age are diagnosed with cancer.
"I am extremely proud of our students for caring for others," said Superintendent Nick Salerno.

Temple City High School Rocks Caine’s Challenge
Temple City
Worst Roads …. In a nationwide survey by TRIP, a non-profit transportation analysis group, the Los AngelesSanta Ana-Long Beach area was rated No. 1 in the nation with the most deteriorated roads. The rating was based on a survey of city roads with potholes, rough pavements, utility cuts and other types of cracks. According to the survey, 64% of Los Angeles basin roads are in disrepair and costs the average driver more than $800 a year in repairs. Nationwide, the average cost of repairs is only $377 annually but in the L.A. area the cost is more than double especially for maintenance and tire repairs resulting in a faster depreciation of your vehicle. Additionally, Los Angeles city officials are saying there is a $3 billion, 60 year backlog of repairs which has more than doubled since 2005 and is expected to double again in the next decade. I’m not sure if individual cities were included in the survey but I’ve got to think that the City of San Gabriel would be at the top of San Gabriel Valley cities for worst roads, especially potholes. As a life-long resident of San Gabriel, it seems that the roads are pretty much in the same condition as they were back in the ‘70s. Through city neglect of its infrastructure, a huge backlog has been created for street maintenance and repairs which continues to increase year by year. Instead of establishing a strategic short and long plan to maintain city roads, the city is focused on adding more commercial growth along the Valley Boulevard, San Gabriel Boulevard and Las Tunas Drive corridors. Choosing to expand rather than build and maintain what you have does not set a good example of management and planning. It’s just another instance of questionable leadership by San Gabriel city council members and city administrators in a City Without a Plan.….. The Sounds of San Gabriel ….. The San Gabriel Mission will commemorate the City’s Centennial with a concert on Saturday October 12th presenting a history of music in San Gabriel. The concert will be held at San Gabriel Mission High School and will be a historical over-
view of artists and music with roots in San Gabriel. Gates open at 4:30 and the concert will begin at 5PM. Stories of Vicki Carr and Kenny Loggins will be told along with live performance by The Storytellers, The Premiers, Mickey Lespron and Jerry Salas (El Chicano), John Avila and Johnny Hernandez (Oingo Boingo), The Delgado Brothers, Danny Diaz and more. Learn about the Funeraria, the Del Mar record shop and the Arbor Hall. Tickets are on sale at the Mission Gift Shop at a cost of $20, and are available online at www.sgconcert.com. Come on out and hear and enjoy the sounds of San Gabriel. It’ll be an evening you’ll truly enjoy….
The Temple City Unified School District invites everyone to join them in Caine’s Cardboard Arcade Challenge!

Rosemead School Completed in the Third Annual Trash-Free Lunch Challenge by Nicole Sevier Rosemead
Eldridge Rice Elementary School in Rosemead will participate in the third annual Trash-Free Lunch Challenge, an L.A. County contest that rewards schools for reducing lunchtime trash. Created by environmental education non-profit Grades of Green and sponsored by the Sanitation Districts of Los Angeles County, the program has doubled in scope since its inception two years ago. The Trash-Free Lunch Challenge has diverted as many as 40,000 bags of trash from area landfills and saved schools thousands of dollars over two years. “With 24 schools in this year’s program, we expect to see nearly 30,000 more bags of trash diverted from the new schools alone,” said Lisa Coppedge, Grades of Green’s Director of Programs. “But what’s more important is that an additional 17,500 students will learn how to reduce, reuse, recycle and compost--new habits that will protect the environment in the years to come.” “We are proud of the remarkable effectiveness of the Trash-Free Lunch Challenge and its continued growth,” said Grace Robinson Chan,
Sanitation Districts Chief Engineer and General Manager. This year’s Challenge will bring the number of students who’ve been educated on waste reduction to more than 30,000.” Participating schools will ask students to eliminate trash by using reusable lunch containers, reusable water bottles and cloth napkins. All students, including those who buy lunch, will be taught how to sort waste for recycling and composting. The 24 schools participating in this year’s Trash-Free Lunch Challenge are located in 14 Los Angeles area cities and include: • Rosemead—Eldridge Rice Elementary • Burbank—David Starr Jordan Middle • Claremont—Chaparral Elementary, Oakmont Elementary, and Vista del Valle Elementary • Culver City—Echo Horizon School and Linwood E. Howe Elementary • Glendale—Verdugo Woodlands Elementary • La Mirada—Foster Road Elementary • Lawndale—Jane Addams Middle, and Leuzinger
High • Long Beach—Franklin Classical Middle, Jefferson Leadership Academies, and Lowell Elementary • Palos Verdes—St. John Fisher School • Pasadena—Aveson Charter • Pomona—Diamond Ranch High • Redondo Beach— John Adams Middle and Parras Middle • Santa Monica— Franklin Elementary, Grant Elementary, and McKinley Elementary • Torrance—Arlington Elementary and Magruder Middle The competition gets underway October 2, when representatives from each school will attend a training session and tour of the Sanitation Districts’ Puente Hills Landfill and Materials Recovery Facility. Once the competing schools implement their Trash-Free Lunch programs, Grades of Green selects three finalists through an application process. A panel of environmental experts and other judges will evaluate the implementation and success
of the three finalists’ programs. The winning school will receive a Grand Prize of a $1,000 education grant. The second- and third-place schools will receive $750 and $500, respectively. Last year’s Grand Prize was awarded to Lunada Bay Elementary School in Palos Verdes Estates, which succeeded in reducing its lunchtime trash by 87.5%. Though the deadline has passed to compete in this year’s Trash-Free Lunch Challenge, any school may still initiate a Trash-Free Lunch program. Complete instructions are available at no cost to schools at www. gradesofgreen.org/initiatives/ trash-redux/trash-free-tuesdays. Additional sponsors of the Trash-Free Lunch Challenge include the City of Santa Monica, Johnson Ohana Charitable Foundation, Don Knabe of the L.A. County Board of Supervisors-Fourth District, LAcarGUY, Warner Bros., and Wean Green. Chevron provides the education grants.

Parthenon Porch of the Maidens
I left Bari in Italy for Patras in Greece. My ferry, the Superfast II (yes, that’s its name) would be traveling 295 nautical miles. I had a room for the night on board as we would not be reaching Greece until the next morning. This was no cruise ship. Most of the passengers were truckers whose trucks had been loaded on in Bari only to continue on their journey to Athens, Greece. Athens was my destination as well but Patras, Greece is a far cry from Athens (and a far distance as well). At Patras, I hired a Taxi with a fellow American (Cole by name) to drive us the rest of the way. It was the longest taxi drive that I have ever taken (150 miles) and all across the famed Peloponnese. Once in Athens, I would be staying at the Athenaeum Intercontinental Hotel. There I joined my 3rd Trafalgar Tour of the trip. It was called their Ancient Lands Tour. This was quite unlike my two Trafalgar tours in Italy. Other than visiting the sites in Athens by motor coach it was mostly a cruise to the Greek islands on the the ship the Louis Olympia of the Louis Ship Lines. It was quite a
October 09, 2013
different cruise than my two long Princess Cruises; this was an Aegean cruise in which we would visit 6 ports in 4 days. As a former history teacher, it was a great experience to be staying in Athens and seeing all of the sights and sounds there. Of course, no visit to Athens would be complete without going to the Acropolis and seeing the famous Parthenon. The Parthenon was built between 447 B.C. and 432 B.C. as a temple to the goddess Athena. It was built by the architects Iktinos and Kallikrates. Also impressive were the remains of the Olympieion (the temple of the Olympian Zeus). The Olympian was inaugurated in AD 131 by the emperor Hadrian and was the largest of the ancient temples of Athens. I also went to the Peninsula of Sounion and saw the temple to Poseidon that is located there. According to legend, Menelaus buried his steersman Phrontis at Sounion on his way back from Troy. At 37,584 GT my new cruise ship, the MS Louis Olympia, was even larger than my former ship the Pacific Princess (at 30,277
GT). She had originally been a Royal Caribbean ship, the MS Song of America. Even though it was a short cruise (a total of 711 nautical miles) I got to visit Mykonos, Patmos, Rhodes, Haraklion (Crete), Santorini in Greece and Kusadasi in Turkey. From Kusadsi, I was able to visit the ancient city of Ephesis. The number of places that I visited at the Greek ports was too numerous to mention here except to say that I did go see the fortress at Lindo (on Rhodes), the palace of Knossos (on Crete) and the village of Oia (on Santorini). The cruise began and ended in Piraeus and was led by a wonderful guide with Trafalgar Tours named Sabrina. With my Aegean cruise over, I spent one more night in Athens at the Athenaeum Intercontinental Hotel before boarding my last cruise ship of my trip around the world, the Sea Princess (and were I finally had some baklava!).

Arroyo Wins in La Canada
“And I don’t understand why I sleep all day And I start to complain that there’s no rain.”------ Blind Melon Chill. Keep your head on straight. I never did like “Catcher In The Rye.” It wasn’t the worst book I’ve ever read. It just wasn’t this amazing, life changing, thought provoking, seminal experience of my youth...And everyone told me it would be. I’ve never fallen in love with soccer or the X-Games, and I’m not too excited about seeing the latest remakes of “Carrie” or “Robocop.” I don’t want to see something old redone again. The original is great because it’s an original. Something that hadn’t been seen before, something that didn’t, or doesn’t, come along every day. I don’t want to see a remake and I don’t want anyone selling me something awful while trying to tell me it’s great at the same time. So if this current Dodger playoff run is long or short, I’m going to enjoy it for what it is and not try to compare it to something it’s not. So chill. Stay rational. Case in point stop trying to tell me that Clayton Kershaw and Zack Greinke are a modern day lefty-righty equivalent of Sandy Koufax and Don Drysdale. I like these guys, but really? Before I declare Greinke the next Drysdale how about if we see if he’s the next Tim Belcher? Don’t intimate me that the injured, limping, Andre Ethier could be the 2013 playoff version of Kirk Gibson. Gibson? I’ll settle for Ethier being a Jay Johnstone or Rick Monday. Gibson? Let’s not start playing the score from “The Natural” just yet. It’s only been 25 years since the Dodgers won their last World Series. They won it in 1988 against the Oakland A’s. I can remember holding hands in front of the TV with my future wife and friends as Gibson came out of the dugout to face Dennis Eckersley. I was working on deadline at the college newspaper offices when they held off Oakland in game four. That night I walked down the hall of the main building with the score written on a piece of paper for my classmates to read through the windows. It’s fun, it’s nostalgic to look back, but that was 1988 not 1908. It’s beautiful, it’s great but we can talk with perspec-
tive about this Dodger team. We’re not like Chicago Cubs fans whose ancestors last saw them win the World Series four years before the Titanic sank. We’re cool...So let’s be cool. Let’s stay sober. You know what happens when you start talking glory, destiny, and comparatively about greatness past? You jinx your team! See, I’m perfectly rational. Contact Joe at joe@midalleysports.com

Arroyo QB Nathan Coto. photo by Joe Torosian El Monte
Arroyo quarterback Nathan Coto totaled 198-yards running and passing, along with three touchdowns to lead the Knight’s to a 34-10 win over the La Cañada Spartans Friday night at La Cañada High School. Arroyo, coming off a bye week, started slowly and needed to get picked up by its defense. What they needed they received from linebacker Jesus Calvillo who intercepted a pass and returned it for a touchdown. It was Calvillo’s third interception return for a

touchdown this season. Still with less than two minutes to play in the first half the Knights were trailing 10-7. It was here that Coto began to move his team and later hit wide receiver Nico Lozano for a 16-yard touchdown pass to give Arroyo a 14-10 lead at the break. “We’ve had our connection since passing league,” said Coto of Lozano. “He’s my boy on and off the field.” After intermission the Knights defense shut down the Spartan rushing attack in the second half and the offense
came to life with three more scores. “We looked like a much different team in the second half,” said Arroyo head coach Jim Singiser. Knights running back Randy Amezcua carried the ball 19 times for 122 yards and scored one touchdown. Lozano caught five passes for 85-yards and scored two touchdowns. Coto finished 12 of 19 for 171 yards passing. Also rushed for 27 yards and another score. Arroyo is now 4-1, La Canada fell to 2-3. Both teams begin league play next week.
La Puente Too Much For Sierra Vista La Puente
It wasn’t as if no one could stop the La Puente Warriors on Friday night. Perhaps an NFL team, Azusa Pacific, or another high school could have stopped them, but we know the Sierra Vista Dons couldn’t in a 33-12 loss at McIntosh Stadium. The Warriors defense shut the Dons down when it counted most and unleashed quarterback Jacob Tovar and an exceptional Jose Ochoa. Ochoa put his team on the board first with a 55-yard punt return for a touchdown. Briefly the two teams alternated scoring drives. Sierra Vista answered with a 2-yard

touchdown run by fullback Isaak Chavez, but then La Puente went to work. Warriors quarterback Jacob Tovar’s went 18-for-23, 244 passing yards on the evening with a touchdown and an interception. He also rushed for a score. “He (Tovar) throws the ball really well, he’s not a great runner, but he’s a good-enough runner and his specialty is staying composed and managing the game,” said La Puente head coach Scott Morrison. “He doesn’t make many mistakes and the
Jose Ochoa & Warriors are turning the corner in 2013. Photo by Steven Mercado
kinds of mistakes he typically makes cost us yards and not balls. Jacob is a really good game manager, he knows how to get the ball into our playmakers’ hands and when all else fails, he can make the play with his feet.” The Warriors last two touchdowns came on a pair 1-yard runs by Fernando Barreras and Erick Morales, respectively. Junior running back Justin
Torres was the Dons best weapon rushing for 194 yards on 25 carries, including a 75yard touchdown run. La Puente is now 4-1 overall and 2-0 in the Montview League standings. The Dons are now 1-4 overall and 0-2 in the league. MID

The Peterson Principal By Tim Peterson
D-Bar, D-Ranch Diamond Bar has the athletes, we knew that. But the problem with the Brahmas, at least in years past was they weren’t physical enough. They may have put that notion to rest. They were physical enough two weeks ago to dominate Bonita in the Hacienda League opener and last week they outmuscled a West Covina team that is not used to being outmuscled. Diamond Bar didn’t just beat these two contenders, it dominated them. The Brahmas humbled Bonita 49-26 before a laying a whipping on Westco 34-13. In four of the Brahmas five wins this year, they have scored 40 or more points. Diamond Ranch has also raised some eyebrows in the Hacienda. The Panthers racked up 47 points on West Covina a week ago and then whacked Los Altos, who many considered the class of the league coming into the season, 30-13 last Friday night. We figured D-Ranch would be strong along the frontlines and guys like Kammy Delp, Josh Buchholz, and Christian Zambrano have proved that to be true. And Will Bryan and Xavier Beltran are making it happen on offense. D-Bar and D-Ranch sqaure off on October 18 at Diamond Bar in a game that will have huge league implications. Saints Are Marching “You never know, we might lose to Baldwin Park and Pomona,” said San Dimas assistant Matt Lopez last Thursday night at the Covina- Northview game. Um...no, I don’t think so. In fact after the Saints expected thrashing last week of Wilson, San Dimas is likely to run the Valle Vista League table. The Saints have already taken care of Northview who looks like the second best team in the league and there’s nobody else that figures to challenge them. Pomona and Baldwin Park are both undefeated but haven’t exactly played schedules that have you shaking in your cleats. San Dimas gets Pomona at home in the regular season finale on November 11 and Baldwin Park at the Teepee this Friday night. (Teepee, the name given for the Braves’ home field) is courtesy of Lopez. Mission Valley Mania
Did you know that the record of the top four teams in the Mission Valley League is 15-5? Arroyo, Rosemead and Gabrielino all check in at 4-1 and the Mt. View is 3-2. The Vikings were a score away from a 4-1 mark as well but came up three points short at Maranatha. We’ll know a lot more after this weekend. Gabrielino is at Arroyo while Mt. View travels to Rosemead. Arroyo and Rosemead look like the frontrunners in the MVL but the case of Mt. View is interesting. A win over Arroyo is a maybe too much to ask but isn’t it possible that the Vikings could beat South El Monte, El Monte and either Gabrielino or Rosemead to secure a playoff spot? It all starts this Friday for View at Marinelli Stadium. Paraclete Anybody? Ran into Paraclete HC Norm Dahlia Thursday night and the subject of the Spirits playing local temas came up. “Nobody will play us. We’ve tried. Nobody,” Dahlia said. “It’s frustrating.” It probably won’t happen in the near future but wouldn’t a ParacleteDiamond Ranch be nice? Paraclete-West Covina? Paraclete- anybody in the SGV? That’s my principle. Tim can be reached at tim@midvalleysports.com.

Mt. View Falls Short at Maranatha

The first ever meeting between the Mountain View Vikings and Maranatha Minutemen came down to two halves of football. The first where the Vikings were late in arriving, and the second when they came back only to fall short in a 23-20 loss on Friday night. The Minutemen took a 17-0 lead and dominated through most of two quarters before Mt. View began to hit back. “We knew something that a lot people didn’t know,” said Maranatha head coach Jude Oliva. “That’s a heck of a ball club. They run that shotgun double wing so well and we knew we had to capitalize on some things early if not they were going to chew up the clock like they did in that second half.” Down three scores just before halftime the Vikings responded with a 3-yard touchdown run by quarterback Cris Cervantes to make it 17-6
at the break. Even that was erased early in the third quarter when Minutemen running back Baile McDavid scored on a 7-yard run to make the score 23-7 “We made some adjustments in the second half,” said Mt. View head coach Victor Ambruso. “They came out in the first and did good job of game planning against us. They saw what we did defensively and flat out just beat us in the first half. In the second half we came out with a little more fire.” On their next possession Vikings quarterback Cervantes moved his team down field. Highlighted by a 24-yard completion to Max Gonzalez. Moments later Jose Moreno crashed in from a yard out. Cervantes converted the twopoint play and it was 23-14. After the Mt. View defense forced a three and out the ball was back in Cervantes hands.
However, with less than a minute to play in the third, Cervantes was stripped of the ball and Maranatha recovered. The Vikings got the ball back at their 35 with 8:57 to play in the game. Covering 65 yards in six minutes, Cervantes passed the ball three times, put it in the hands of Moreno twice, and carried it seven times before Moreno again scored from a yard out. The point after was blocked but the score was now 23-20. Mt. View’s Josh Martinez recovered the onside kick at the 50-yard line, but three plays later the ball was lost on a fumble. Cervantes led the Vikings offense with 17 carries for 84 yards and a touchdown. He also completed four of five passes for 53 yards. Mt. View is now 3-2 and open league play next Friday at Rosemead.

Life is a bowl of cherries, I have heard them say; However, I know there are a few pits along the way. But I’ve found that life is really a great big stage; A whole lot of unusual actors all at a different age. Angry is one thing you can put off until tomorrow; Therefore, there will not be any reason for sorrow. For the mind to work it must be opened like the eyes; I don’t believe this is something most people realize. A flexible person should never be bent out of shape; There’s some words we don’t need to use, such as hate. Be kind to people, as most of us are fighting to survive; And I think we all should be grateful that we’re alive. Don’t take life so serious, and there is no need to fret; Be caring of others and the small things don’t sweat. Stick with the greats, for they’ll make you feel good; Life is so much better when you do what you should. Don’t waste your life, be sure to go the extra mile; You’ll be so happy, you’ll be wearing a big smile. If you’re not happy and having fun, it’s your fault; For there’s a lot of negative things you must halt.

SAGITTARIUS Mars in Leo, another Fire Sign, will bring out passion and excitement over travel or education plans.
