Mt. View School District Families Receive Free Smoke Alarms Through the American Red Cross by Michele Earle El Monte

American Red Cross mobilized more than 150 volunteers and local community partners to save lives in El Monte, California. Volunteers took to the streets and went door to door installing more than 260 free smoke alarms and making critical fire escape plans in more than a hundred homes. “Seven people die per day in a home fire in the United States. This is why we are working with local fires departments, school districts, and community organizations to reduce home fires. We are happy to report that we reached more than 500 people in one day in El Monte”, said Jarrett Barrios, CEO for the American Red Cross Los Angeles Region. The initiative is part of the American Red Cross’ response to the alarm-
ing number of home fires in the United States. The nationwide Home Fire Preparedness Campaign was launched in October 2014, and aims to reduce the number of fire related injuries and deaths by 25 percent in the next five years. “We recommended two easy steps to help protect their homes and increase chances of surviving a fire: have working smoke alarms and create home fire escape plans” added Barrios. Partners for the event in El Monte included the Mountain View School District, Southern California Edison, El Monte Police Officers Association, LA County Fire Department Explorers, CERT, AMR, El Monte / South El Monte Chamber of Commerce, Parks & Recreation Department, City of

El Monte, Tzu Chi, Americorps, and other community partners. “We couldn’t have done it without the collaborative efforts of the staff and volunteers from the Mountain View School District,” said Alex Rose, Disaster Program Manager, American Red Cross Los Angeles Region. “Your participation and support with this campaign is so important and this event is a very significant milestone in the PrepareSoCal campaign to increase the disaster readiness and resiliency in South
El Monte and El Monte.” In the past year the Los Angeles Region of the American Red Cross and community partners have installed more than 1,200 free smoke alarms. Over 100,000 smoke alarms have been installed across the country and there have been 15 documented lives saved across the nation due to this important program. “We greatly appreciate the outreach of the American Red Cross and their efforts to ensure the safety of families in the community,” said Angelica Sifuentes Donoso,’
Chelsea Clinton Inspires Future Leaders

by Kim Dennis Pasadena/ San Gabriel
Last month Chelsea Clinton released a book entitled “It’s Your World: Get Informed, Get Inspired & Get Going.” This book is about young people all over the world who are making positive changes to benefit others, including the environment, and humanitarian causes. I took a delegation of students from San Gabriel Mission High School to this book signing in order to gain valuable cultural education, give them the chance to meet a “First Daughter” of the United States, and provide them the opportunity to witness a young woman who is using her influence to provide positive messages of hope to those who will listen. Ms. Clinton was down to earth, sweet, and genuine; she was also receptive, interested in the students, and seemed eager
to please, in the hopes that we might even be able to use the book in our school. Yolanda Sanchez, a junior, affirmed the experience as a valuable one, saying,

Student's Corner
A Girl’s Perspective on the Question of Environment Being that both the Republican and Democratic parties are currently deciding which candidates will represent them in the upcoming presidential election, topics such as the protection and cleanup of our earth are often discussed and debated on various media platforms. It’s always interesting to see which candidates don’t believe in global warming. For a teenager like myself, growing up in an age in which the rest of the world is just a click away on my Smartphone, I am able to do my own research on the debated global warming and formulate my own thoughts and impressions on the matter. On May 6, 2015, members of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration reported that the
Sylvia Camacho, contributing student writer from San Gabriel Mission High School.
global levels of carbon dioxide had set a new record by breaking 400 ppm in its levels. The lead scientist of their Global Greenhouse Gas Network, Pieter Tans, stated that this discovery “marks the fact that humans burning fossil fuels have caused global carbon dioxide concentrations to rise more than 120 parts per million since pre-industrial times” (Tans, NOAA). It is undeniable that we, living in the United States, burn fossil fuels at an alarming rate such as petroleum for transportation and coal for electricity production. After accepting this fact, we are then left to debate whether or not this is the cause of the rising global carbon dioxide concentrations. Obviously the last thing
we need is for the glaciers to melt, sea levels to rise, and countries around the world to be submerged. Is the life of any of earths organisms no longer valued? My ultimate issue with this whole affair is that, whether you recognize climate change as a legitimate problem, or as a scam created by the government to take more money out of your wallet, wouldn’t it be in our own personal and selfish best interest, even in the most mundane trivial ways, if we were to follow the actions recommended by those who identify global warming as an issue and priority? They ask that you save energy by turning off the lights. Your immediate payoff? You’re saving money by lowering your electricity bill! They

Now if I have a choice, for I do have faith; I wonder if we couldn’t stretch it to eighty eight. And if I’m still real happy and feeling fine; There’s no reason we can’t make it eighty nine. Now I am certainly grateful, but not ready to go; I think it would be great to celebrate the big Nine 0. If I’m still alive, playing cards and having fun; It would be a real shame to leave at ninety one. And if there is still a lot of things that I could do; Then I’d ask the good Lord to make it ninety two. Of course, if my eyes improve and I’m able to see; Then we know it’s impossible to leave at ninety three. If I’m able to be helpful and not make anyone sore; Then I’d sure like to be here at ninety four. Now if I’m fortunate to be well and alive; Then why not stay around until I’m ninety five. But if I really did have a choice to pick; I would think about leaving at ninety six. As I said before, I do believe it’s great in heaven; So I just might be ready to go at ninety seven.

‘Time Jockey’
Inventor in Our Midst by Joe Castillo
Predication Semi-Results …. Well, it’s October and time to review my baseball predictions. In the National League, I predicted the Dodgers would not win it all and that came true. My favorites were the Washington Nationals, who didn’t make the playoffs, folded down the stretch and fired their manager after he was named Manager of the Year in 2014. My surprise teams were the San Diego Padres, who never really got into any kind of rhythm during the entire season, and the Chicago Cubs who are now on the verge of making history. In the 1985 movie, “Back to the Future,” the Cubs were identified as major league champions in a 2015 Sports Almanac which Biff used to make wagers while winning millions with the advance information. In the American League, I predicted the Angels would not survive and sure enough the team fell just short of the playoffs. I predicted the Toronto Blue Jays would win the pennant and as of this writing they were still in the running. I predicted the Cleveland Indians would be a sleeper and the results indicate they slept a little too much. I also made a big mistake and predicted the Milwaukee Brewers would sneak in but I made the mistake that they are not in the American League. It doesn’t matter as they stunk for most of the season. With 2 weeks to go to the playoffs, a Toronto-Chicago series is still possible, a possible surprise finish to a surprising season….. Wells Fargo Museum…. In Old Town Sacramento, there are a number of museums including the Wells Fargo Museum. Henry Wells and William Fargo established an express delivery service which eventually turned into one of the world largest banks and it all started in Sacramento. The discovery of gold in 1848 brought thousands of emigrants into California seeking to become rich with the precious metal. But with each discovery, securing and transporting the new found commodity became a major task. The Pony Express was the first overland mail carrier beginning in April 1860 and lasting until April 1861. The express ended operations in 1861 as it became too dangerous and
finding riders was becoming more and more difficult. Wells and Fargo, who had run separate express companies in the Midwest, took over operations of the Pony route west of Salt Lake City, Utah. To the east of Salt Lake City, the Central Overland California and Pike’s Peak Express continued to operate. But it was Wells Fargo which set the rates for shipping, printed their own stamps, and provided oversight of the whole route. The postage rates to transport packages were in constant change and no standard rate had been established. Wells Fargo established their own rate of $2 per half ounce and then reduced it even further to $1 per half ounce. With that kind of price rate, newspapers and California businesses became regular customers. In time, the Wells Fargo Express Service became the most popular of express services and Wells Fargo began to expand into other areas such as financial services. The history of Wells Fargo is clearly depicted at its museum in Old Town Sacramento and is well worth a visit by you in learning more about a fascinating company…..
This Middle Schooler Can Move Mountains! by Cathy Perlmutter Temple City
Amber Grace is a typical Temple City middle schooler in many ways. She loves to swim, ride her bike, play with her cat and her sevenyear-old brother Devon, and talk to her friends on her new phone. But in early October she did something that few other 13-year-old girls even dream of attempting: She set California state records in the sport of powerlifting. Amber’s parents, Chris and Wendy Grace, own the Mission Fitness Center gym in San Marino. So Amber has always spent a good amount of time there - but not working out. Until recently, she just played on the equipment, or did her homework in the office. Until one day this past summer. Amber recalls watching her father Chris, 43, lifting heavy barbells in preparation for a powerlifting competition. Chris is a state champion powerlifter. She was suddenly inspired. “I asked my dad if I could do it too, and he said’ yes!’ It took off from there!” For two months, Amber worked with her dad, primar-

ily working on posture and form. The sport of powerlifting involves three exercises: • A deep squat, in which the hips descend below the knee, with a barbell resting on the shoulders. • A bench press, done lying flat on one’s back on a bench, lowering and raising a barbell above the chest. • A deadlift, leaning forward to pick a barbell off the ground, then standing up straight, holding it with arms
extended downward. Judges tell contestants when to pick up the barbell, when to move, when to pause, and when to let go of the weight. Obeying these complicated cues, and maintaining balance, are as important as muscle power. In general, the larger a competitor is, the more he or she can lift, so participants are sorted into different divisions depending on gender, age and weight. Powerlifter continued on page 7

true for me as I reflect on this experience is this: regardless of the situation in which you are raised, educated, and formed, you have a choice: will you do good for others? Why not cheer on the efforts of those who are doing good? Let’s cheer on those who are conscious about how they can make positive changes, and direct
our energies towards those same efforts within ourselves. This is the education of the youth that I hope to impart, and that it appears Chelsea does, too - don’t wait for someone else to spread peace, justice, education and life- do it yourself, with whatever means you have available.

The City of South El Monte and Primestor Development is proud to announce the start of the construction of a new Starbucks and Menchie’s. The City will host a groundbreaking ceremony on Thursday, October 22, at 10:30 am to welcome the drive-thru coffee store and frozen yogurt store to its prime location at the Plaza del Sol Shopping Center, located at 1832 Durfee Avenue. “We’re very excited about Starbucks and Menchie’s coming to South El Monte. For years, our community members have requested these estab-
lishments,” said Community Development Director Manuel Mancha. Starbucks and Menchie’s coming to Plaza del Sol Shopping Center is validation of the
growth and development happening in South El Monte. Prior to the development of Plaza del Sol Shopping Center, the site was underutilized. Now it’s a busy and thriving shopping center that continues to contribute to the City’s tax base, which is then invested in our community’s public safety, infrastructure, youth and senior programs and other community related items. The City of South El Monte’s Community Development Department is dedicated to work at expanding our local economy by bringing new and diversified businesses. Construction for the new Starbucks will begin tentatively before the end of the year.

Amber was the only girl in her age group (13-15) and weight category (under 97lbs.), at that particular meet. But there have been others in the past. Amber broke their records for each of the three exercises. She squatted with a 121.5 lb barbell on her shoulders; benched 66 lbs., and deadlifted 153 lbs. She was awarded a giant gold medal for her efforts. The crowd loved her. “Big huge men were giving her high fives!” notes Chris Grace. She was so excited about the medal that she wore it to school the next day. “There were lots of surprised kids,” says Amber. “They asked, ‘How much did you lift?’ and they congratulated me!. They think it’s really cool.” Amber feels that powerlifting is a good sport for children and adults of any age. “I would recommend it, because you have to lift things all the time, and it makes lifting and carrying easier.” She has already begun to train for the next
USPA meet, in March, where she hopes to break the American records. Meanwhile, she reports, her 7-year-old brother Devon is jealous and has begun training with 5 lb weights. (He has to wait until he’s 13 to compete in USPA meets.) Chris, by the way, also
participated in the meet. He did a 407 lb. squat, a 407 lb. bench press, and a 578.9 lb. deadlift, which earned him a gold medal in his age and weight group. Her Uncle Alex Acosta, 22, also of Temple City, did a 469 lb. squat, a 330 lb. bench press, and a 512 lb. deadlift.

Kiwanis Honors Emperor Elementary School Students Jannah Salas, Nicholas Vo, and Joshua Kim by Jerry Jambazian Temple City
The Kiwanis Club of Temple City recognized three outstanding students from Emperor Elementary School. Accompanying the students was 17-year teacher, Mrs. Shelly Scanlan. Jannah is 11 years old, is in Mr. Giangregorio’s class, and has an older brother. She enjoys serving the homeless on Thanksgiving and Christmas, dancing, helping, and listening to music. Jannah said, “The best things about Emperor are learning new things, the school staff, and my friends.” The best thing that ever happened was going to Hawaii and seeing the volcanos. If she could change one thing it would be to create a law prohibiting people and companies from abusing animals. If she could build one thing it would be a refugee shelter for the fleeing citizens of Syria. Personal goals are to get straight A’s, become a professional dancer, earn the Girl Scouts’ Gold Award, and become an Ambassador. Nicholas is 11 years old
and in Ms. Roxanne Trieu’s class. He enjoys playing sports and swimming. Nicholas said, “The best things about Emperor are the fun teachers, recess, and the end of the year.” The best thing that ever happened was receiving an “A” without studying. If he could change one thing it would be having no more drought. If he could build one thing it would be new technology to make everything faster. Personal goals are to get “A’s”, become good at sports, and do good in school. Joshua is 11 years old and has a twin brother and a younger sister. He is in Mrs. Scanlan’s class. He enjoys playing, reading, drawing, and folding origami. Joshua said, “The best things about Emperor are the extra programs for students focusing on everyone instead of a single person.” The best thing that ever happened was going to Las Vegas. If he could build one thing it would be a candy land. Personal goals are to get better Advanced Reader
levels, become good at the violin, and have a smooth 6th Grade year Each week the Temple City Kiwanis Club is pleased to recognize outstanding students and their teachers from Cloverly, Emperor, Longden, Oak Avenue, and the Dr. Doug Sears Learning Center.

Joe T.’s Scoreboar d By Joe Torosian
Sorry Dodgers fans it happened. They lost to the Mets. So I need to ask a couple of questions. You lived all season on the idea that you had the two best pitchers in baseball: Clayton Kershaw and Zack Greinke. Even though the team lost games both men started in the playoffs, for argument sake, let’s say you’re right. Kershaw and Greinke are the best, but what else do you have? Is there any player in the Dodgers lineup equal to a Curtis Granderson or Daniel Murphy. These guys are not great physical talents, but they are gamers, grinders, and competitors. Who is under contract at Chavez Ravine like that? I like Adrian Gonzalez, but he is not a leader. Who is the leader of this team? The Time Warner curse is in full effect and the firing of Don Mattingly won’t change anything. Here’s the last bit of bad news for Dodgers fans. Next year is an even year. The Giants won the World Series in 2010, 2012, and 2014. Who knows? Maybe Greinke will be pitching for them next year. ***Mid-Bits (Same as tidbits) *** “Now that the Lambeau Leap is spreading to other stadiums, how long before a fan sues a team because holding up their player hurt their back?”---Dennis Miller *** The talk of the Chicago Cubs winning the World Series because it was mentioned in the “Back to The Future” sequel as happening in 2015 is so played out. I’m amazed at the people still bringing this up as it is something new. *** With high school football, college football, NFL football, and the MLB playoffs all in full swing, I have one question to ask. When did the hockey season start? *** Monrovia’s 49-14 loss to San Marino on Friday night snapped the Wildcats 38 game Rio Hondo League winning streak. Monrovia had not lost a league game since 2007. It had not lost to San Marino since 2003.

Arcadia Drops Thriller to Burroughs by Tim Peterson Arcadia
Erick Hernandez caught an eight-yard touchdown pass from Steven Hubbell with nine seconds left to give the Burroughs Indians a dramatic 39-34 win over the Arcadia Apaches Friday night at Salter Stadium. After forcing the Apaches to punt the Indians took over at their own six with 2:32 left to play. Hubbell marched them down the field, twice running out of
bounds to stop the clock. He also hit Chance Bell for 14 yards and a 23-yard strike to Robert Awunganyi down to the eight. The 94-yard drive consisted of 13 plays with Hernandez hauling in the game winner. Burroughs led 27-7 early and was still up 26-17 at the half. Arcadia took the lead at 34-33 on a Justin Mascorro 22-yard field goal early in the fourth quarter.
Burroughs forced the Apaches to punt on its next two possessions setting up the final touchdown drive. Raeshawn Roland was the go to guy in Arcadia’s offense catching nine passes for 194 yards and three touchdowns. He also picked off a pass. Quarterback Nico Hillier threw for 271 yards and three scores for Arcadia.

Kurt Scoby has taken a lot of hits on a lot of blogs the last few years as his football journey took him from Charter Oak, to Duarte, to St. Paul, to Alemany, to Monrovia, to Fresno State, and Azusa Pacific. Maybe it’s time to recognize what Scoby has done on the field. He’s the feature back at APU and Saturday night rushed for 146 yards and four touchdowns in the Cougars 61-14 victory over Dixie State.

The Peterson Principle By Tim Peterson
“Arcadia is a lot better than we thought” - Burroughs, HC Keith Knoop. Yeah I guess so. You still like Burroughs to win the Pacific League? I guess the better question is do I still like Burroughs to win the Pacific? The Indians won all right but it was anything but a walk in the park. In fact until Erick Hernandez hauled in an 18-yard touchdown pass from Steven Hubbell with nine-seconds left on the clock it appeared the Apaches were going to pull off the upset. Burroughs can score but Arcadia can score in a heartbeat. If the Indians are great then the Apaches are very very good. By the way Raeshawn Roland might be the most exciting player in the league. The kid can do it on offense, defense and special teams. He almost single-handedly beat Burroughs. “Yeah our defense played pretty good but we couldn’t stop number 6,” Knoop said. Roland had 194 yards in receptions and three touchdowns. He also picked off a pass. Burroughs is still in league control at 4-0 with Glendale, Crescenta Valley and Burbank left. Then you have three teams at 3-1-Arcadia, CV and Burbank. They’re all going to be playing each other to close the season. Burbank already beat CV but still has Arcadia and Burroughs. Arcadia has Burbank and CV as two of its three opponents and CV has Burroughs and Arcadia the last two weeks. The schedule makers couldn’t have done it any better. Who has the inside track? Probably Burroughs with no losses so far, but the Indians were nine-seconds away from their first. There could be a three or even four way tie by the time the Pacific smoke clears. Here’s the real interesting thing, does somebody get left out of the playoff picture? By the way, how did Arcadia score just eight points against Muir? If I’m Keith Knoop I run Chance Bell until his legs fall off. The kid is an absolute monster. **Northview won the Valle Vista League title Thursday night. Maybe not mathematically but in reality the Vikings won it. It was a two team race between San Dimas and Northview and Northview just crossed the finish line. Actually until the fourth quarter they were dominant leading 35-14 until the Saints scored two

late touchdowns. Covina might argue and the Colts have a point. They are a playoff team no question but in 2015 they won’t be league champs. The Colts have San Dimas and Northview the least two weeks of the season which is about as tough as a two game stretch as you can get. “We haven’t won anything yet. We’re just focused on our next opponent,” said Northview, HC Marcel Perez. True and very good, however Thursday night’s 35-28 win over San Dimas was huge. **Over the last few days I’ve been continually asked my thoughts on the Dodgers loss. I’m not really sure.

MVSD’s Director of Family Engagement. “Our District was happy to be a part of such a beneficial event and we look forward to continuing our collaboration in support of our families.” Volunteers and organizers were treated to a special performance by Miramonte School’s Ballet Folklorico group as well as a continental breakfast and hot dog lunch. Fire experts agree that people may have as little as two minutes to escape a burning home before it’s too late to get out. Working smoke alarms can double someone’s chance of surviving a fire.

Dream Orchestra continued from page 5
Her parents, Kathy and Chip Aquino, are “very supportive of my decision to be part of the orchestra and of the opportunities that come with it,” Chloe said. “I’ve learned, with the playing side by side of the professors and students, that there are lots of different musical interpretations, but to make one sound and be together takes instruction, emotion and patience in order to really do justice to any piece we play,” she explained. She hopes to pursue a performance degree in viola, and to “devote myself to the music industry, whether it be in the business or performance aspect of it,” she said. Joining Chloe and 11 other Young Artists will be the Opera Chorus of Los Angeles, top professional singers from LA Opera and the Los Angeles Master Chorale who bring additional power and beauty to the concert. The 38 singers were hand-picked by Suk to become the vocal muscle of the Dream Orchestra. Tickets are $40 general, $30 for seniors and students and $150 for season tickets that include a post-concert Dessert Reception hosted by Urth Caffe. To purchase tick-
ets, call (800) 838-3006 or visit brownpaperticket.com and www.dreamorchestra. org. Tickets are available at St. Monica Catholic Church and all Urth Caffe locations. The Dream Orchestra’s 2015-2016 season is commemorating Pope Frances’ Jubilee of Mercy, and continues with Handel’s Messiah on Dec. 3, 4, and the rarely performed Stabat Mater by Rossini on March 4, 2016. The season continues on May 20, 2016 with what Suk is calling the “Rusty Musicians” concert created to make dreams come true for adults who play instruments or didn’t major in music or gave up their music, yet always had a dream to perform with a professional orchestra. The final concert will be the “Dream Concert Under the Stars” on July 15, 2016. In addition to St. Monica Catholic Church and Urth Caffe, the Chan Il Foundation is also a partner in The Dream Orchestra’s 20152016 season. For more information about the Dream Orchestra’s 2015-2016 season at St. Monica Catholic Church, visit www.dreamorchestra. org.

Oktoberfest at Fairplex - Led Zepagain by Sal Gomez Pomona CA
Oktoberfest at the Fairplex in Pomona blasted into its second week with its traditional tasty bits of beer, brats & Oom-Pah Pa band. But the real fireworks continued to burn over at the former Mexican Village stage with the now legendary Led Zep-
again Band, paying tribute to classic rock icon Led Zeppelin. Fronted by the enigmatic Swan Montgomery in the role of Robert Plant, Jim Wooten on Bass as John Paul Jones, the bombastic Derek Smith on drums as
Sicario
John Bonham and the electrifying Jimmy Sakura as the masterful Jimmy Page... Led Zepagain transforms the tribute band experience and invites everyone to experience as real a Zeppelin concert as we will probably ever get from now on.
The rock concerts at Oktoberfest at Fairplex continue with next week’s
finale headlined by DSB – A tribute to Journey.

After prevailing through the ranks of her male-dominated profession, idealistic FBI agent Kate Macer played by Emily Bunt (Edge of Tomorrow), receives a top assignment. Recruited by mysterious government
official Matt Graver played by Josh Brolin (No Country for Old Men), Kate joins a task force for the escalating war against drugs. Led by the intense and shadowy Alejandro played by Benicio Del Toro (Traffic), the team
travels back-and-forth across the U.S.-Mexican border, using one cartel boss Bernardo Saracino to flush out a bigger boss, Julio Cesar Cedillo. The film features some intense opening scenes and features some gruesome images. The story is short and sweet, you understand the characters and their purpose in the film. It doesn’t take much time but then you introduced to a few suspicious characters. Matt and Alejandro bring mystery to the film and you feel that you shouldn’t trust them. Meanwhile Kate is being kept out of the dark and is wondering why she was picked for this special mission. Del Toro really stood out as the top actor in the film as his character was surrounded by mystery, never knowing what side he was on. One of the biggest disappointments in this film was the portrayal of Kate Macer. Kate is dehumanized in the group. In the beginning of the film she was a strong women, but as the film progressed she was viewed as weak and then weaker. Ultimately at the end of the film, she was never redeemed and it was disappointing. “Sicario” was directed by Denis Villeneuve best known for directing “Prisoners.” Taylor Sheridan wrote “Sicario,” his first film. “Sicario” scares you with the drug trade and disappoints you with its views on women.
