Student's Corner Basketball: An Alliance
Ashley Lanuza, contributing student writer from San Gabriel Mission High School. by Ashley Lanuza San Gabriel
Former National Basketball Association player Dennis Rodman is scheduled to play a basketball game in honor of Kim Jong-Un’s birthday. According to CNN, a group of former NBA players and other basketballers will be playing the North Korean Senior National team for the leader’s birthday in January of 2014. The relationship
between Rodman and Kim Jong-Un is very controversial, but the former defends his moves as a type of “relationship bridge,” using sports. The leader is said to be a large fan of basketball. However, the friendship is a topic of debate due to the country’s looming threat of nuclear attacks and their arguable sense of human rights. According to
ABC News, neither the NBA nor the National Basketball Retired Players Association is supporting or is any way associated with Rodman’s decisions. Overall, Rodman’s spoken intention is to basically create a peaceful relationship, not as diplomats, but as human beings creating a bond with a little basketball.

‘Time Jockey ’ JACKSON by Joe Castillo
Foothill Gold …. The City of Jackson, California is filled with stories which could only come from a gold rush town. Nestled in the Sierra foothills about 40 miles east of Sacramento, today Jackson is a quaint little town with modern amenities as well as its historical roots. Even though it was a popular mining town in the 1850’s, it is best known as the last California town with legal prostitution. In the 1850’s it was referred to as ‘Bottileas’ for the many abandoned whiskey bottles which were thrown into the creek which ran through the heart of the town. The first Bordello opened around the year 1850. From that time on there were 3-4 bordellos in operation at any one time but there were never any complaints to Jackson City Council. The houses continued to operate until 1956 when State Attorney General Edmund ‘Pat’ Brown Sr. decided to file a complaint and closed down the Jackson houses and gambling halls. On February 14, 1968, a group of local businessmen decided to dedicate a plaque to the ‘Ladies of the Night.’ A committee was formed by the businessman to arrange for the dedication. They named their committee the ‘Environmental Resources Enabling Committee to Investigate Our Necessary Services.’ The Committee presented their idea for the dedication to the Mayor and the Chief of Police, both of whom agreed with the proposal. After receiving approval, the Committee selected placement of the plaque just 50 yards from Scarlett Row. They then proceeded to order a bronze plaque with verbiage of the event and added the acronyms of the Committee at the bottom of the plaque, (I’ll let you figure that one out). Reporters throughout California were invited to record the event and came from San Francisco and Los Angeles to cover the unveiling. Phone calls were received from irate citizens who demanded the plaque be removed and destroyed. The problem went to the Jackson City Council, but the council refused to act on the complaints. During the evening, adventuresome entrepreneurs made a plastic cast of the real plaque and then proceeded to make copies of the original plaque. Another set of more mischievous mischief makers, poured a bucket of red paint
over the original plaque. This act was exactly what the irate citizens wanted and complaints quit coming in. The plaque was removed and the acronyms of the old committee name were removed and replaced with the acronyms for the new committee name which was known as ‘Western Historical Organization (WHO). In 1992, the original plaque was donated to the Amador County Museum. On July 16, 1999, a rededication of the plaque took place and the ‘Heart Shaped’ plaque found its permanent resting place in the City of Jackson with the rest of its unique and interesting stories….

El Monte Union High School District Personnel Present at CSBA Annual Conference by Anne Donofrio-Holter El Monte
Friends have always been very important to me; Not just one friend, but two or three. It's great when you have a group of friends; Like a circle, there's no beginning and no end. In our lives many people walk in and out; For this is what living is all about. But a true friend will stick just like glue; And they will take the time to know you. Blood is thicker than water, so be aware; Brothers, sisters and parents are who care. Most friends are only here for today; They will usually go astray. Remember friendship is a two way street; At least half way we must be able to meet. Nobody wants a friendship to ever end; But it will, we just don't know when. We all know that nothing lasts forever; So there is one word we can't use is never. Enjoy the friendly feelings as long as they last; Then we can keep the good memories in the past.
Public Hearing on Proposed Metro Fare Restructuring Plan by Rick Jager/Marc Littman Los Angeles
In an effort to be more customer friendly while addressing a quickly growing operating deficit the Metro Board of Directors today voted to set a public hearing on proposed fare restructuring for 9 a.m. Saturday, March 29 at Metro headquarters, One Gateway Plaza in downtown Los Angeles. The public will be asked for input on two fare restructuring options. Both would eliminate the cost of transferring from one bus or train to another -- something that has been requested by many Metro customers. Both options also would raise fares gradually over the next eight years and help avoid a budget deficit that could occur as soon as 2016 if fares are not revised. Current Metro fares cover just 26 percent of the cost of operating the buses and trains and Metro faces an unsustainable operating deficit of $36.8 million in two years, growing to $225 million in ten years unless changes are made. Metro has raised fares only three times during the past 18 years and has among the lowest fares of major transit agencies in the United States. Currently, the Agency’s
Long Range Transportation Plan assumes a 33 percent recovery rate to meet funding commitments. Since 1995, the local consumer price index has increased 46 percent while Metro’s average fares have increased only 17 percent. In addition, over the years Metro has maintained the lowest fare per boarding (0.70 cents), when compared with other similar transit agencies. The first fare restructuring option would raise the base fare from the current $1.50 to $1.75 for the next four years, with an eventual rise during the eight-year period to $2.25. (See chart below for details.) The second would keep the base fare at $1.50 during off-peak hours and raise it to $2.25 during peak hours for the next four years, eventually raising it to $3.25 during peak hours. [Off-peak hours are defined as weekdays from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and 7 p.m. to 5 a.m. and all day on weekends and Federal holidays.] For comparison, San Francisco Muni currently charges $2; Chicago CTA charges $2 for buses and $2.25 for trains; Portland TriMet is $2.50, Washington D.C. Metro is $1.60 for buses
El Monte Union High School District personnel were selected to present at the CSBA’s (California School Boards Association) Annual Education Conference (AEC) and Trade Show held recently in San Diego. AEC is "CSBA's premier continuing education program delivering practical solutions to help governance teams from districts and county offices of education improve student learning and achievement." "The El Monte Union High School District was invited to present by Shelly Spiegel-Coleman of Californians Together," said Edith Echeverria, Director of Categorical Programs. "The District and Californians Together have been partnering for over four years to address the needs of English learners, particularly long term English learners." According to Echeverria, "a long term English learner,
as defined by California law, has been enrolled in U.S. schools for more than six years, has remained at the same English proficiency level for two or more consecutive years, and has scored below or far below basic on the English language arts standards test." "We began our presentation with an overview of the work we have done with Californians Together, then specifically, what the District is doing to address the needs of long term English learners," said Echeverria. "We concluded the presentation by sharing the specific format we use to present ongoing professional development and support to our teachers." "We are very proud of our staff and their commitment to serving all students, especially our long term English learners," said El Monte Union High School District Superintendent
Nick Salerno. "Their presentation was well received and will, hopefully, lead to more opportunities in other schools and districts. We were honored to be selected as presenters at the conference." Approximately 4,500 people attended the conference which featured 225 speakers, 135 workshops and 173 exhibitors. CSBA is "the nonprofit education association representing the elected officials who govern public school districts and county offices of education. With a membership of nearly 1,000 educational agencies statewide, CSBA brings together school governing boards and administrators from districts and county offices of education to advocate for effective policies that advance the education and wellbeing of the state’s more than 6 million school-age children."
and $2.10 for peak-hour rail travel and the New York City subway fare is $2.50. All of those agencies allow for free transfers. Because of the transfer policy, Metro customers have complained that they must pay full fare every time they switch from one train or bus to another. Metro customer surveys indicate more than half of its riders transfer to reach their destinations and the transfer policy effectively punishes those who must transfer. If adopted a no-transfer feature would make it possible for riders to board an unlimited number of buses and trains for 90 minutes in any direction for a single fare. This would allow not just for one-fare travel to a single location but also for multiple stops to, for example, the
supermarket or drug store and home again on a single ticket, if all travel occurs within 90 minutes. It's this kind of flexibility that riders have also cited in requests for transfer elimination. Also, under the proposed new fare structures, the cost of daily, weekly and monthly passes will rise because pass holders tend to be the heaviest users of the system. Another change would be the eventual elimination of the currently monthly pass in favor of the EZ pass that would allow for unlimited travel on Metro and other bus systems throughout Los Angeles County. No changes can occur before the Metro Board votes to approve them. The first possible opportunity for this will be in May. The earliest date new fares could take
effect is Sept. 1. Interested members of the public are encouraged to attend the upcoming public hearing and provide testimony. There will also be additional fare forums held at the regularly scheduled Service Council meeting during the month of March. Persons unable to attend the public hearing or the fare forums may submit a written testimony postmarked through March 29. Correspondence should be addressed to: Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority One Gateway Plaza Los Angeles, CA 900122932 Attn: Michele Jackson Comments may also be submitted electronically to publichearing@metro.net.

Joe T.’s Scoreboar d By Joe Torosian
Gabrielino Crushes South El Monte, 58-43 by Tim Peterson South El Monte
Lesson Learned When you lose when you are young, you’re always confident you’ll make it back and get another chance. When you lose and your time, career, age, testify that your window for victory is closing, or has closed, you hurt inside. A second Super Bowl title for Peyton Manning is looking remote right now, but have you ever seen a player handle himself with so much class after taking such a beating? This guy is a Hall of Famer and an all-time great before you even start looking at his statistics. Lesson Learned Part II Never trust the voters. At least when it comes to Hall of Fame ballots. The voters for the NFL HOF chose a defensive end Claude Humphrey, who was good, over a five time Super Bowl champ named Charles Haley. They took a good receiver, Andre Reed, over an all-time great like Tim Brown. And they took a punter, named Ray Guy. A great punter, but he was a punter. Question So if Andre Reed, a player defenses never had to prepare for, can get into the Hall of Fame, I guess former St. Louis Rams receivers Isaac Bruce and Tory Holt are locks. I’d have to say so is former Pittsburgh Steelers wide out Hines Ward. Quote of the Weekend "The strongest principle of growth lies in human choice."---George Eliot Prep Football National Signing Day for High School football is Wednesday, February 7th. Keep an eye on Monrovia’s Kurt Scoby. Word is he’s leaning towards Fresno State. Did You Know...? The Denver Broncos have lost five of seven Super Bowls. For What It’s Worth I don’t mind a Super Bowl blowout when I pick who is going to win. On “The Joe Show” with Ken Ferreira last week we made our Super Bowl predictions (it’s on record folks) I said the Seahawks would hold the Broncos to a touchdown and win the game in a rout. I shouldn’t brag, but this felt pretty good. The kind of thing you dine on for a year.
Happy Birthday this week to:

The Gabrielino Eagles are in the process of turning what some thought would be a tough Mission Valley League race into a runaway as they traveled to South El Monte and won 58-43 on Wednesday night. Thanks in large part to the lethal three of Eli Peters, Grant Kirchoff, and Bryan Phan Gabrielino is now 5-0 in league. Peters led the way with 23 points, including 10 in the fourth quarter. Grant Kirchoff had 14 in the third quarter and finished with 16, while Bryan Phan dropped in 13. Eduardo Hernandez led South El Monte with 18 points and Alex Ortiz had 10. South is now 4-1 in league. Gabrielino hit just one three pointer in the contest but attempted only three. South El Monte was 3 for 11 from beyond the arc. Gabrielino pulled away in the second half and built an 18 point lead in the fourth quarter.

Something to Think About on Signing Day by Joe Torosian Monrovia
Across the country National Signing Day is an exciting time. It’s the moment went prep football and college football intersect. Sometimes it’s the moment where a dream is fulfilled, often it is the day hopes are crushed. In the Mid Valley News coverage zone, which encompasses 17 high schools, there is only one Division-I football talent and that is Monrovia running back Kurt Scoby. Scoby is a lock to play at the highest level of college football. Experts have him leaning to Fresno State. So of the 17 high schools we cover (see list of schools at bottom of story) is anyone else going to play college football? The answer is yes, they just won’t be playing for USC, UCLA, Texas, or Alabama. A lot of them will play Division III/NAIA football at places like Occidental, Whittier College, La Verne, or Cal Lutheran. Some will go to faraway unheard of places in South Dakota and Nebraska. These players will earn tuition money with their grades. They’ll qualify for
partial scholarships, grants, interest free loans and if they stay all four years they’ll achieve a college degree with little or no debt. Division III does not offer full athletic scholarships. So if only Kurt Scoby is going to play Division I and anyone else wanting to play will end up at Division III, does anyone go to a Division II school like Azusa Pacific University? APU is in our backyard, we cover a lot of APU sports, and it’s here at the Division II level that the mathematics and
hard facts really hit home about the level of football played in our area. There are 148 Division II football programs in America stretched out from California to Maine across 15 different conferences. A conservative estimate puts 65 players on each of these rosters (this number can easily be moved to 75, but we wanted to go with the bare minimum). So 148 football teams with 65 players on each roster comes to 9,620 athletes playing Division II college

The Peterson Principle By Tim Peterson
The verbal commitment to USC by Muir's Taeon Mason is nice but you wonder if Mason will actually end up playing for the Trojans. It's not rare for a recruit to verbal to one school and end up at another. In fact it's rare if they don't switch. Just last week Kammy Delp of Diamond Ranch decommitted from Arizona State and West Covina's Sidney Jones flipped from Utah to Washington. That was in a week. Mason, a senior in September, has a whole year. It won't hurt the Trojans though that former Mustang Kevon Seymour would be there to greet Mason. Former San Dimas DC Brian Mustain, is in the running for the head coaching job at Cal. A decision is coming soon. Reports out of Monrovia are that the Wildcats are now looking outside the program for a head coach. Assistants on staff have either turned down the position or aren't exactly what Monrovia is looking for. A couple of prominent area names have surfaced as potential candidates. The gig in M-Town could be looked at two ways. It's a great position at a school that 's loaded with talent and primed to make a run at another CIF championship. Or it's a job that no matter how successful you are you will never get the credit you deserve. You would be following in the footsteps of a guy that just won three titles and appeared in four championship games in six seasons. The Monrovia faithful can be ruthless at times. Steve Garrison used to get skewered whenever he lost a game during a very successful 14 year run. Heck, even Ryan Maddox was criticized at times. No it's not a picnic. Whoever replaces Maddox will need to have extremely thick skin. The search continues. Norwalk running back Rashaad Penny, who had a number of D-1 offers, made his decision this week. He committed to San Diego State. What a Super Sunday for the Trojans. Former USC Coach Pete Carroll wins a Super Bowl as the head coach of Seattle and Malcolm Smith, former Trojan linebacker, wins the MVP award with a pick six and a fumble recovery. Great win for the Seahawks and a humbling loss for the Denver Broncos. Like it or not the legacy of Peyton Manning will be questioned. It wasn't all his fault. The Seattle defense
was suffocating – maybe the best defense since the 1985 Chicago Bears. But this was supposed to be the year Manning cemented his legacy. Maybe even the year he showed that he was the best of all time. Instead he threw two picks (one a bad throw) and the Broncos turned the ball over four times. Manning meanwhile is still stuck on one Super Bowl ring. In this game all of the questions were supposed to be answered. Instead the questions remain...like it or not. That's my principle.

football. The Mid Valley News covers 17 high schools. Do you know how many football players in the Mid coverage zone are playing D-II football? Five. Five out of 9,620. Those figures should sober up anybody dreaming of earning a full athletic scholarship faster than a black cup of coffee or IRS agent knocking at the door. The lesson learned from this is education, good grades, good SAT scores, good habits, this will take you to the next level.
