Southern California newsman Danny Romero will serve as the Grand Marshall of the 21st Annual Emily Ishigaki Children’s Day Parade and Harvest Festival on Saturday, October 17, in the City of El Monte. Children’s groups, local agencies and schools participate in the annual event, which celebrates the rich multi-cultural community of El Monte youth and is slated to include: performances by parade participants; carnival rides; jumping bouncers; great food and distribution of free bicycles and helmets to the Opportunity Drawing winners. “We are thrilled to have Mr. Romero serve as the
Grand Marshall for the Parade and Festival,” Councilmember Juventino “J” Gomez said. “This event has become a fun-filled event for the residents of El Monte, and we believe Mr. Romero’s professional experience and personal support of local causes makes him an ideal candidate to host this special day.” Romero, the weekend evening weathercaster for ABC7 Eyewitness News, is an advocate of the Los Angeles community. Born and raised in East Los Angeles, Romero co-hosts the halfhour show “Vista L.A.,” as well as ABC7’s “Cool Kids” feature, which focuses on the positive work young

2015 is Disneyland’s Diamond Anniversary. On October 4 the Disney Corporation changed its annual passport offerings. The Premium passport has been eliminated in favor of two new passes that cost a family of four almost as much as an actual diamond! The Signature Plus passport allows entry every day of the year and includes parking, costing a family of four $4196. The Signature passport blocks December holiday visits, includes parking, and costs the same family $3396. Walt Disney opened Disneyland 60 years ago to create a place for parents to spend time with their children. Unfortunately, these new prices strain anyone’s budget and can be especially challenging for families. But, don’t despair. Here are less costly, LA area, familyfriendly options that provide a lot of fun. All prices are

Student's Corner
Finding Strength in Adversity I’ve lived a colorful life; I’m not quite sure I can even describe parts of myself in words at all. My goal is to introduce myself, to give a part of myself I don’t normally give; my highs and lows, my downfalls and achievements. As a young girl I experienced a part of the world that could have made me bitter or made me stronger. I chose to be stronger. In the first grade I experienced a good deal of racism at my school, where
A.J. Dorado, contributing student writer from San Gabriel Mission High School.
teachers would actually make racist comments about me during class. I bring this up not for pity but because it’s a part of me that I can’t and wouldn’t want to erase. In a strange way, I believe that I wouldn’t cherish my education or my ethnicity as much as I do if I hadn’t experienced being in an environment that wanted to take it away from me. I’ve been able to thrive because of the drive it has given me to set standards and expecta-
tions for myself each day. I let a situation that was very painful mold me into a successful learner, and a loving human being. This is my life, it’s both good and bad at times, but it’s what I’ve been able to do with it that has made me successful. I’m not unique because it sounds good. I’m unique because the world and life, in all its mysteries, crafted me this way.

Remember here's some things, so keep this in mind; You can't be grateful and unhappy at the same time. I've found that suffering is a big part of living; And a lot of love will come just by giving.

One of the best things is thinking about others; And remember no one will love you like your mother. Nobody wants to be different, and have a big scar; But this is exactly what most of us really are. Conscience is a small voice you listen to each day; Of course, after you tell it everything to say. Give your best to your employer, for your own sake; For I believe it's the best investment you can make. All politicians cannot be trusted, we know it's true; So when voting get the old out and vote in the new. It's for certain don't ever lend any money to a friend; I've found it's a great way for a good friendship to end.

Offering some good advise in this poem I have planned; But I do know it's not the same as a helping hand. Having rosy thoughts about the future won't last; When your mind is full of the blues of the past. Usually when you're able to get something for a song; So often it really doesn't seem to last very long. When you have an unusual amount of commonsense; Sometimes called wisdom for that is what it's meant. A person grows older and wiser, like never before; And he or she will talk less, but will say a lot more. One of the finest accomplishments I'd like to report; Is when a person is making a real long story short.

"Kill the Spelling Bee?-WHY?" Dr. Garcia, Superintendent of our El Monte City School District, Along with many other residents who live in our K-8 school district, I am majorly concerned about your unwise and hasty decision to just "Kill the Bee." I find it absolutely unacceptable to do this because in so many ways your action is clearly prejudicial to so many of our students. The Bee provides native English Speakers with a host of benefits. The children learning English as a Second Language benefit even more. Why is this so? The Spelling Bee is not just the spelling of words, but is far more than that. The Bee provides the students essential knowledge and academic competencies, which lead to high level performance in their studies: 1. The correct spelling of hundreds of words. 2. The connotative and denotative meanings of hundreds of words in meaningful sentences. 3. Word origins and "root words." 4. Prefixes and suffixes. 5. Over 1,001 English/Spanish cognates, such as "abandon" and "abandonar," "bank" and "banco," "uniform" and "uniforme," and so on and so on. 6. Regular plural nouns and words with irregular plural forms, such as "deer," "moose," "sheep," and so on. 7. Proper pronunciation of hundreds of words 8. Proper punctuation 9. Sentence structures: simple and compound 10. Proper capitalization 11. And so much more--ALL BASIC FOUNDATIONS
TO SUCCESS IN COMMON CORE'S CHALLENGING LANGUAGE ARTS in reading with comprehension and writing clearly and precisely. Furthermore, there are 8 Life Lessons that the Spelling Bee participants learn, and these are as follows: 1. "Appreciating life beyond technology" (Research increasingly shows that using computers, i-pads, text messaging substantially reduces the ability of many users to spell correctly. 2. "Public celebration of intelligence, discipline, and knowledge." 3. "Modeling hard work and perseverance" (It was Jaime Escalante who said, "Learning well requires this--without it, real learning will not occur. 4. "Public recognition of the value of studying"--for participants and audience. 5. "Spotlighting interesting and difficult words, such as pneumonia, Phoenix, syndrome, facility, ensign, antediluvian, etc." 6. "Reminding everyone what unbridled enthusiasm looks like. 7. "Learning grace and humor under pressure" 8. "Learning that not everyone wins all the time, but that just by being in the Bee, all participants and even the attendees are winners. I offer just one of many examples of how the Bee has rewarded El Monte City School District students for so many years. My own next-door neighbor, Vivian, whose first language is Vietnamese, was learning English as a Second Language, yet, she was able to win in her school's Bee and then proceeded to win first place in the El Monte City School District's All Schools
Spelling Bee. Later, she graduated with honors from Arroyo High School and then earned the coveted title of “Co-Valedictorian.” It has been claimed that the district's teachers complain, "The Bee is too much work for us!" That claim is absolutely absurd. When I served as the District's Bilingual/English Language Teacher on Special Assignment, I was in charge of preparing the word lists, shipping them out to the schools and, as I recall, we not only had the Spelling Bee in English, but also a Spelling Bee in Spanish. I never, ever received any complaint from any classroom teacher or principal. The work is done by the students, their parents, and often within their extended family. All interested parties, who might wish to defend the Bee, are urged to attend the next monthly El Monte City School District Board Meeting: On Monday, October 19 at New Lexington School, located at 10410 Bodger Street, El Monte, CA 91733. Due west of Santa Anita, just before Garvey. Our El Monte City School Board only meets once a month. Their meetings always begin at 5:00 pm and seem to end by 6:45 pm or 7:00 pm (At least judging by the last two meetings I attended.) You must arrive early to be able to address the Board-this is only done at the beginning of the Board Meeting. Also, legally, you are not required to state your name, nor give your address! David Siegrist "Defender of the Bee"--Our students deserve the best--and the Spelling Bee is part and partial of the best."

‘Time Jockey’ Road To Orlando by Joe Castillo
Walt’s Dream …. Since the 1920’s, Walt Disney and his creative art has been a major part of Southern California. Burbank became home to Walt Disney Productions where Disney’s cartoons and animated films were made and where Mickey Mouse became famous. Anaheim became home to his first amusement park, Disneyland, which brought to life his vision of the “happiest place on Earth.” But it was Orlando, Florida where Walt Disney left his legacy, a legacy which would continue to grow and expand. In 1955, Disneyland was opened to bring his animated characters to life and where guests could go and experience the joy of his own childhood. The success of Disneyland gave Disney the incentive and funding to open a second amusement park. Learning by the mistakes made at Disneyland, Walt started to secretly purchase large tracts of land in the Orlando area. He used agents which made purchases under an anonymous name keeping the Disney name out of any possible connection. In a short period of time, Disney purchased over 30,000 acres at approximately $200 an acre. The land was mostly useless and would not even make good pastureland but Disney brought in tons of good soil to transform the undeveloped swamp lands into his second amusement park. Learning from his mistake in Anaheim, Disney sought to keep all small business as far away as possible from his amusement venture so that no one could make money off of his own primary attraction. In addition, his ultimate vision of a futuristic city of tomorrow, with new technology, scientific improvements and medical enhancements were incorporated with his own design for an attraction which was to be called EPCOT, and was to be built on Disney’s huge land acreage. After a cost of $30 million, Walt Disney World was officially opened on October 1, 1971 but Walt was not there for the grand opening. He had passed away in 1966 and in his memory, his brother Roy named the park after his younger brother. On the 44th anniversary of the park, we ventured to Orlando for the
first time to see the upgraded version of Disneyland. The park was decorated in Halloween colors and characters in honor of Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party. Upon arrival, “retiring the flag” ceremonies were starting when the American flag was lowered at dusk to the sounds of the Disney World Band playing the Star Spangled Banner. Then it was on to the attractions with the first being the Hall of Presidents, where mechanical images of all the U.S. Presidents were displayed. The rides were faster and longer, the lines nice and short, and the attractions were much more detailed and better designed than their counterparts at Disneyland. There is no Matterhorn or Indiana Jones or Star Tours rides but there is a Little Mermaid, updated Pirates of the Caribbean and Haunted Mansion rides. The park is spread out over more land and is better designed for outside entertainment, shows and parades. Walt Disney World is now 44 years old and it looks like it just opened. The vision that Walt Disney envisioned continues today in Orlando, as well as Anaheim, Paris and Tokyo, leaving happy customers all across the world…..

Mountain View School District Schools Celebrate National Walk to School Day by Michele Earle Mt. View
The Mountain View School District (MVSD) in El Monte joined schools from around the United States to celebrate National Walk to School Day on October 7. The event, coordinated by MVSD and Day One, a communitybased nonprofit organization that builds healthy cities by advancing public health, empowering youth, and igniting change, was generously funded by a grant from the City of Hope. Students from throughout the District walked to school along with parents, teachers, staff members, volunteers and community leaders. Hundreds of walkers gathered at 6:30 a.m. at Zamora Park, Mt. View Park and Cielito Lindo before beginning their walk to their school site. The walking school buses were impressive as they lined the streets by school making their way to each campus. Led by adult volunteers and crossing guards, students showed their commitment to be physically active and healthy. Among the community members joining the group of walkers at Zamora Park was El Monte City Councilwoman, Victoria Martinez who walked with students from Twin Lakes School. “This is fantastic! Walking with everyone is fun and it is great to see the kids walking and the families engaged,” said Councilwoman Martinez. “The Healthy El Monte initiative is very important to me and I’m glad to see Mountain
View School District and its schools being proactive and promoting wellness. There’s a real movement in the Mountain View School District and Day One’s efforts in the District and at Mt. View High School are really making an impact.” In addition to promoting wellness, Walk to School Day events raise awareness of the need to create safer routes for walking and emphasize pedestrian safety, traffic congestion and concern for the environment. The events also build connections between families, schools, and the broader community. “We walk to school every day, but this is more fun with all the people!” said Anisa, a 5th grader from Baker School who was joined by her siblings, cousin and mom. “Walking is good exercise too,” she added. Elizabeth, a 7th grader from Madrid usually gets a ride to school but was excited about participating in the Walk to School event. “I wanted to come to the park and walk with my friends and teachers because it would be fun,” she said. All student walkers received a t-shirt and sticker, and volunteers received “Champions of Change” t-shirts. Upon arriving at their school site, students enjoyed a healthy breakfast from MVSD’s Food Service Department and raffle prizes were given out to the walkers including basketballs, footballs, t-shirts, water bottles and more. “Walking to school was fun,” said 1st grader, Winter Rose from Twin Lakes. “I
really like the shirt I got too.” Students at Cogswell School and Kranz Intermediate took part in events at their school sites promoting the importance of walking and physical activity. “Our event at Kranz went very well,” said Sean Grycel, principal. Kranz teachers, Mr. Cornell and Mr. Caishpal did a terrific job organizing it for us and we had close to 60 students participate in the walking this morning.” Whether walking from the park, from home or participating in school site walks, MVSD’s Walk to School Day was a fun event for students and families.

Joe T.’s Scoreboar d
Area Volleyball by Joe Torosian El Monte
By Joe Torosian
I became the subject of much anger on Facebook over the weekend because I advocated for the Mets over the Dodgers in the MLB playoffs. There will be a time I come back to the Dodgers, I'm sure of it, but until then I find them impossible to root for. How can any Dodgers fan support a team that willingly signed a television contract preventing three quarters of their fan base from seeing them play? I feel the best analogy here is Star Wars. I'm leading the rebel cause against the oppressive Guggenheim Empire. The only thing to set things right is a chain reaction of explosions begun by them getting knocked out of the post-season by the Mets. If the team with the highest payroll in MLB history doesn't go to the World Series it's going to implode. They'll make knee jerk decisions (like the Dee Gordon trade) and things will fall apart. Fans will revolt and not pay ridiculous prices to go see a bad team. Finally, after two or three terrible seasons, ownership will be forced to reach back out to its fans. I know it sounds like fantasy, but, hey, I did compare it to Star Wars. If the rebellion fails, the Dodgers ownership will feel validated by their actions. Fans will still be blocked from seeing the team play on TV and be gouged with excessive parking lot and ticket prices. So for now, all I can say is: Go Mets! ***Mid-Bits (Same as tidbits) *** "So when does Pat Haden's leave of absence start?"---Jack Von Bulow *** "How does anyone let Yoenis Cespedes out of their organization?"---Dennis Miller *** El Monte running back Roy Barajas rushes for a school record 427 yards in win over Gabrielino. He also made Fred Roggin's "Roggin's Heroes" Sunday night highlights on KNBC. Happy Birthday this week to: 10/15: Former Temple City linebacker Carlos Mota turns 21. 10/16: El Monte alum Kim Gerhardt turns young. 10/19: El Monte alum Tama Andrews turns young. 10/20: Former Mid Valley staffer Casey Brewer turns 33.

In Mission Valley League volleyball Gabrielino continues to lead with a 6-0 record. El Monte still trails by a game (the game they lost to the Eagles) with a 5-1 record. Mt. View, South El Monte, and Rosemead trail in third,
fourth, and fifth. Arroyo and Pasadena Marshall are still seeking a victory in league play. Gabrielino, 14-4 overall on the season, is being led offensively by Leslie Rivera and Michelle Wee. Eagles head coach Cuong
Chau in his third season and has compiled a record of 64-15. El Monte and Gabrielino meet again on Wednesday, October 28 at Gabrielino High School.

The Peterson Principle By Tim Peterson
It's not that the loss was to an inferior team or that they didn't battle. It appeared that the West Covina Bulldogs left everything on the field Friday night. It's not the type of loss that would cause the coach to rant and rave. It was more like one that caused stunned silence. It left you speechless. In a game that nobody in the stadium thought they would lose, West Covina did exactly that. Everything had to go wrong for West Covina to lose this game. Everything did. On the flip side everything had to go right for Diamond Ranch to win. Everything did. With 11:35 left in the game West Covina led 43-28 after Ruben Velasco scored on a 49-yard run to give the Bulldogs a 43-28 lead. West Covina then got the ball back still up 15. Any kind of prolonged drive could have iced it but instead the Bulldogs couldn't move the ball and then botched the snap on a punt attempt giving Diamond Ranch the ball at the Westco 27. Boom! A touchdown pass by Joe Sebastian to Carter Henderson followed by a pass for the two point conversion and its 43-36. Still not a really a problem for West Covina. The lead was still seven and there was only seven minutes left. Burn some clock, maybe kick a field goal and the lead is ten again. Heck, even you don't score a punt would bury Diamond Ranch in their own territory. Instead the Panthers recovered an onside kick and were in business again. Davion Gaisie runs right through the Bulldog defense for a 40-yard touchdown and with 5:53 left it's 43-43. Okay, it's bad but not disastrous. West Covina still has plenty of time to march down the field and boot a field goal or score a go ahead touchdown. If the Bulldogs play it right they might even be able to burn up the clock and score with seconds left. Instead on their own 22 yard line, two plays into the possession, West Covina is intercepted. No time is spent and Diamond Ranch is at the Westco 39. Okay, now it's disastrous. With 2:23 left Sebastian hits a wide open David Aldapa for a 25 yard touchdown pass for a 50-43 Panther lead. In four minutes and 47 seconds Diamond Ranch scored 22 points. The West Covina sideline, like the entire section of the

home field stands filled with Bulldog faithful, stared at the field in a sort of sickening silence. You could hear the football being kicked as it sailed through the uprights on the extra point. When the clock hit zeroes, Diamond Ranch players and coaches leaped for joy while the West Covina contingent trudged to midfield for postgame handshakes. The Panthers use this to possibly propel them to a Hacienda League title. The Bulldogs? Burn the tape, forget it ever happened and don't ever speak of it again. It couldn't have happened, but it did. It shouldn't have happened, but it did. Erase it from your memory and carry on. There's no other choice. . That's my principle.

Arroyo keeps getting better, and Monrovia remains Monrovia. The interesting team here is Arcadia. No one ever comes back from a Arcadia game and says, “Wow!” They generally come back and ask how this team keeps winning? Good for them. Keep an eye on Bassett. El Monte should do nothing for the rest of the year but give the ball to Roy Barajas.

Every week we show a picture of what takes place on the sidelines or with the marching bands before a football game begins. This week we show a shot of
football players doing something special when they are not playing football. “A great day to be a Wildcat!,” says Monrovia head coach Chris Stevens.
His Monrovia Wildcats team volunteered their time on a Saturday to help install a new playground at Mayflower Elementary School.

Queen Nation ROCKS Oktoberfest by Sal Gomez Pomona CA
Imagine Oktoberfest being celebrated within a converted Mexican Village inside the Los Angeles County fairgrounds and what you get is the fabulous German inspired October celebration at the Pomona Fairplex. Complete with
art, décor, German beer and even delicious King Taco to round out the tasty fair. The musical event is for those 21 and over. And then there's Queen Nation. The world's best tribute band dedicated to the music and style of the
legendary rock band Queen, making what's become a traditional appearance at this year’s affair. Ladies and gentlemen, this band never disappoints. The band played like the room was on fire. The crowd was inspired and adored each set and
The Martian
every song. If you closed your eyes, your senses would scream you were indeed present at an actual Queen performance. Being acknowledged as one of the World's Greatest Tribute Bands by AXS TV is selfevident and well deserved. Oktoberfest at Fairplex in Pomona will feature tribute
bands throughout the month of October, continuing next week with Led Zepagain's tribute to Led Zeppelin & closing out Oktoberfest will be DSB's tribute to the music of Journey. Coverage of these shows in Mid Valley News will follow each appearance.

When a group of astronauts evacuate from the planet Mars, they leave behind Mark Watney played by Matt Damon (Bourne Identity, The Departed), pre-
sumed dead after a deadly storm hits their base. With only meager supplies, the stranded astronaut must use his wits and skills to find a way to survive on the hostile
planet. Meanwhile, back on planet Earth, members of NASA, and a team of international scientists work tirelessly to bring him home, while his crew mates hatch their own plan for a daring rescue mission. Directed by the master of Sci-Fi, Ridley Scott best known for “Prometheus,” “Alien,” and “Blade Runner” gives the most realistic Sci-Fi film to date. He didn’t incorporate aliens and technology in this film. It all seems possible today and the time lapse in the film seems realistic. Matt Damon had a lot of screen time but he was not alone in this film. The cast included Jessica Chastain (Interstellar), captain of the ship, Michael Peña (Ant-Man), Kate Mara (House of Cards), Sebastian Stan (Captain America, Winter Solider), and Aksel Hennie (Hercules) as the space crew. Together they were a rock solid cast. The scrip was adopted from the book of the same name written by Andy Weir. Drew Goddard adapted the book to script and is known for writing “World War Z” and “Daredevil.” Although Matt Damon was alone on screen most of the time, he did a great job as the likes of Sandra Bullock in “Gravity” or Tom hanks in “Cast Away.” If you are a fan of Sci-Fi, you must see “The Martian.” Grade A+
