On Saturday, April 12, the City of El Monte hosted an Earth Day celebration from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Arceo Park. The event served to highlight various ways community members can help conserve natural resources and better our environment. “It is so important that our community makes it a priority to reuse, conserve and recycle so that we can help protect our Earth,” said Mayor Andre Quintero. “Earth Day is always a great reminder that we can’t take our environment for granted.” As part of many efforts to create a greener El Monte, the City offered a variety of earth-friendly activities, including free papershredding, electronic waste collection and free contain-

ers so that residents can properly dispose of sharps and motor oil. The event also featured fun activities for kids, including opportunities to create crafts from recycled materials, T-shirt decorating and fashion show, a moon bounce and giveaways.
In addition, residents were also able donate to important causes to assist local children and families. The celebration was a way to collect new and used books for re-distribution to schoolage youths during the Fiesta of Books event taking place next month, as well as non-
perishable foods, canned foods, toiletries and hygiene products for local families in need. All event activities were offered to the community free of charge.
El Monte Celebrates Easter with the Second Annual Healthy Easter Family Fun Day by Chelsea Dickerson El Monte
The El Monte community kicked off the spring season at the City’s Second Annual Healthy Easter Family Fun Day at Mt. View Park hosted by the City of El Monte’s Parks, Recreation, and Community Services Department on Saturday, April 12. The event is a result in the City’s efforts to provide a healthy alternative to the traditional “candy filled” egg hunts. “This was a wonderful day for the children and families of El Monte who participated,” said Councilwoman Victoria Martinez. “The day was filled with fun and healthy activities like the annual egg hunt and a carrot eating contest. We appreciate the hard work of our Parks and Recreation Department for continuing this family tradition and incorporating healthy living ideas into this event.”
This entertaining event began with a special breakfast with the Easter Bunny from 9 to 11 a.m. Children then participated in a special Easter Egg Hunt according to their age division. Each age division had four chances to find a Golden Egg that could be redeemed for an Easter Basket. Other exciting, familyfriendly activities included arts and crafts stations, food vendors, information booths, a free bouncer, game booths, face painting, bunny ear crafts, carrot-eating contest, gunny sack races, egg spoon relays, tiny tot chalk area, jelly bean guessing jar and Zumba. Children could also meet and take photos with the Easter Bunny. Last year’s Healthy Easter Family Fun Day was recognized by the California Parks and Recreation

Weekend Escape
Carmel by Jo Anne Disney Carmel
If you enjoy picturesque views and quaint shops, Carmel is definitely a place to visit. This seaside village is a wonderful place to relax and soak up the fresh sea air. Strolling along there are several eateries, art galleries and boutiques to explore. One of my favorite places to eat at was Terry’s Lounge Restaurant at the Cypress Inn. This historic landmark is owned by legendary film actress, Doris Day and a local business man named Dennis LeVett. This joint venture took place in the mid-80’s. Thanks to Ms. Day and her love of animals, she “insisted that the four-leggers were as welcome as their humans.” The Cypress Inn has become Carmel’s “original pet-friendly boutique hotel” and it’s a wonderful place for locals and visitors to bring their pets and make new friends. History tells us that the Cypress Inn was built in 1929 by the owner, Dr. Rudolf. Back then it was known as the Hotel La Ribera. Then,

sometime in the 1960’s, Earl E. McInnis and his son Frank, “took over management of the hotel and renamed it Cypress West. It was restored and upgraded to its original splendor.” It seems that guests come back again and
again to relive the amazing experiences. The hotel is decorated with memorabilia from Ms. Day’s film career, even showing movies in the lounge. It is an experience not to be missed.

Mid Valley Radio Attends National Association of Broadcasters Show in Las Vegas by Lucia Flores and Lorena Flores Las Vegas
On April 5-10, representatives from KMVR Mid Valley Radio, a division of Mid Valley News, attended the National Association of Broadcasters Show held at the Las Vegas Convention Center. Every year, the National Association of Broadcasters hosts the event to highlight the broadcasting industry’s advancements in production technology and techniques, and to emphasize the latest trends in television, radio, and other broadcast mediums. NAB attendees were able to listen to panels and participate in workshops. Inside the exhibition hall, many companies took part in displaying their latest prod-
ucts. Attendees were even invited to try out some of the equipment, which included shockproof cameras, audio boards, and microphones. Presentations held on the exhibit floor gave attendees a first-hand look at the technological advances that have been developed to enhance the filming and production experience. One such advancement was a new model camera from JVC that allowed for streaming while filming, which would be very beneficial to field reporters for live news broadcasts. There were also workshops on how to operate editing software such as Final Cut Pro X and Adobe

Project Questions by Joe Castillo
Role of the MLD …. The ACE Alameda Corridor Grade Separation Project is well underway in the City of San Gabriel. The project will lower the railroad tracks throughout the city requiring numerous road closures, traffic jams and irritated drivers. It also calls for tons of dirt to be removed in order to lower the tracks. But due to its proximity to the Mission San Gabriel, there are significant historical and culture remnants and artifacts which may be uncovered in the excavation process. Most of the unknown artifacts could belong to the Native American Indians who were here when the Mission was being built in the late 1700’s. Known as the Kizh tribe and later renamed by the Spanish to the Gabrielenos, these indigenous people lived in Southern California long before the Spanish arrived. As the abuses between the Spanish and Kizh increased over time, the numbers of tribal members were reduced as more and more Indians mysteriously disappeared. Various documents suggested the bodies of those who disappeared may have been buried either inside Mission property or close by. These remains are one of the items which may be uncovered in the ACE Alameda Corridor project. So who is the person onsite at the project which is responsible for monitoring excavated items? These people are known as tribal ‘monitors’ who oversee activity and when items are excavated which provide cultural significance to local Indian tribes , the ‘monitor’ ensures the items are accounted for and appropriately cataloged. The ‘monitor’ also provides another function which is to identify if Native American remains are unearthed, in which case appropriate action is then followed. One of the actions to be followed includes turning over any remains to the Most Likely Descendant (MLD), which more than likely is the Chief of the Tribe as any immediate relatives are more than likely deceased. So what is the role of the MLD? According the California Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC), a list of recognized MLD’s is maintained by NAHC and is used by the archaeology community to build stronger relationships between the MLDs and archaeologists for each project. Whereas
this is the desired end result, in actuality this is not always the case. Archaeologists are always required to share information with the local tribe. The tribe may sue for the information but if the landowner agrees with the archaeologist, there is little recourse as the landowner owns the artifact. The only exception is if the item is of ‘grave goods’ which requires the archaeologist to turn over the remains to the MLD for proper internment. The authority of the MLD is defined in CA Public Resources Code Section 5097.8. NAHC does not support payment to MLDs except for expenses to perform their duty. NAHC also recommends that the ‘monitor’ and MLD not be the same persons. The only exception would be if the tribe is named the MLD, in which case any tribe member could actually be the MLD as well. In the San Gabriel Project, monitors and MLDs are constantly involved with the ACE project. Whether or not they are getting paid is not fully known, but if an MLD is getting paid to bury their ancestors, then something is definitely wrong with their role in an archaeological project like the ACE Alameda-Corridor project….

WEBB'S RULES A Family Disease by Eugene R. Webb
Tallahassee and Tarpon Springs Dwain Crum “The Sea Rebel”, was born in Pasadena, CA and a lifelong resident of Rosemead, CA. Retired after 29 years as a history teacher at Rosemead High School. Dwain is fulfilling a lifelong dream of traveling around the world.
Every addiction is a family disease; Makes anyone around them feel unease. And usually it's started by our own choice; We don't always listen to the right voice. Alcoholism can start by taking one drink; And this is something that nobody would think. But if a compulsive person is what you might be; At least I believe this is what happen to me. If it's something I really like, I can't get enough; Because of some reason I just love the stuff. Addiction makes will power sound like a joke; These are some bad things that happen to good folk. Common sense says illegal drugs I won't even try; For it means prison time, that is if you don't die. But all family diseases will kill you in time; And to get out of that dark hole, is a hard climb. I found the secret with a brand new path to trod; Owe it to a few angels and my own loving God. I wouldn't drink alcohol again, even if I could; I have been given more than I believe I should. Alcohol & other drugs, the number one killer today; I don't believe that social drinking should be okay. MADD doesn't care if you drink, don't drink and drive; After some drinks, they know they can drive & survive.
Mountain View Head Start Preschool Program Honors Super Hero Dads and Male Figures by Michele Earle El Monte
View School District’s (MVSD) Head Start/State Preschool/Children’s Center hosted its 2nd annual Be a Hero Day to commemorate the male figures who participate in the education of a preschool child. The event was part of Head Start’s Male Involvement program and was for fathers, grandfathers, uncles, cousins, friends and neighbors who play a significant role in the lives of the preschool students. Over 150 people attended the super hero themed event which included photos, a hot dog dinner, and fun activities for the children and their hero guest. “We are so happy you are here with your child tonight and appreciate your dedication to the Head Start program,” said Alma Gonzales, Director of Preschool Programs. “Your involvement during your child’s preschool years is essential to their future success and we salute you for being a super hero!” The evening included
I boarded the Crown Princess in Port Everglades, Florida. With 3,013 land miles across the U.S.A. behind me, the rest of my trip would now be at sea. The 49 day cruise that I would be taking was divided into three segments. Princess Cruises called this segment Brazilian Adventure Cruising. We would be stopping in three Brazilian ports prior to our arrival in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The three Brazilian ports were Recife, Rio de Janeiro and Ilhabela. The Crown Princess would be making the first ever Princess stop at Ilhabela. From Port Everglades to Buenos Aires, Argentina is 5,163 nautical miles (which converts to 5,937 state miles). Prior to our arrival in Brazil, the Crown Princess would be stopping at four islands in the Caribbean. St. Thomas (where I had been before in 2011) and the islands of Antigua, Barbados and Trinidad. They all have beautiful beaches and friendly people. In fact one of the comedians who performed on the Crown Princess joked that in reality they were all the same island and that the inhabitants merely changed signs overnight. It might seem
a special presentation by Jon Hernandez, a Marriage and Family Therapist from Foothill Family Services who shared strategies for being a “Super Dad.” “Many young children think their dad is a super hero,” said Hernandez. “A few of the qualities of a super hero include being selfless, responsible, trust worthy and having a positive attitude. The benefit of an involved father or male figure in the life of a child is tremendous and I encourage you to take an active role in your child’s life.” Playing is how young kids Hernandez continued to communicate and it provides say that what the dads and opportunities for new expemales are doing now, durriences, accomplishments ing their child’s preschool and mastery of skills,” said years, will affect them for Hernandez. “If you’re short the rest of their lives. on time, that’s okay, it’s bet“It’s important to reter to spend shorter amounts member that what you do of time like 1-2 minutes, with your child is more more frequently throughout important than what you do the day with your child.” for your child.

that way on the surface, but I soon realized that each of the islands in the Caribbean is unique and has things that distinguish it from its neighbors. Barbados for example was the only place visited by George Washington during his lifetime that was outside of what later became the United States of America. In 1751, George Washington's half-brother Lawrence was suffering from tuberculosis. Hearing of Barbados and its reputation for treating lung diseases, Lawrence Washington began planning a trip to Barbados. His wife, Anne, had just given birth to the couple’s fourth child. As a result of this, he asked his brother George to go with him to Barbados. On November 2, 1751, the brigantine "Success" landed in Barbados and the Washington brothers made their way to the city of Bridgetown. George and Lawrence spent nearly six disaster-filled weeks in Barbados. Not only did Lawrence's condition not improve but on November 17, 1751, George Washington was stricken with smallpox. Fortunately for what was to become the United States, George recovered quickly and eventually sailed home
to Virginia in December of 1751. While failing to save the life of Lawrence, George Washington's trip to Barbados was to have a profound impact on the United States of America. Thanks to his exposure to smallpox in Barbados, George Washington was immune to further bouts with the disease, while the colonial army was ravaged by smallpox. Also, it was under George Washington's watch that his men were administered one of the earliest known inoculations against smallpox. I'm no George Washington. I'm more like Columbus or Marco Polo. In fact my recently diseased Canadian friend, Ray Hoare, used to call me Magellan because of my traveling around the world. After leaving the Caribbean, the Crown Princess sailed for Brazil and Rio. We would be arriving just in time for Carnival. I'm trying to imagine George Washington attending Carnival in Rio but I really can't.

The Kiwanis Club of Temple City recognized Irene Sun from the Dr. Doug Sears Learning Center. Accompanying Irene was CLC teacher Mr. Reggie Rios. Irene is 17 years old and is in Mr. Rios, Mr. Jahan, Mr. Patterson, Mr. KcKinnis, Mr. Acevedo, and Mrs. Robert’s class. She has two younger sisters and enjoys painting, baking, gardening, hairstyling, ice skating, and acting. Irene said, “The best things about The Learning Center is the warm, loving environment where friends are like family, liberty to express oneself through music and art, and the openminded teachers who are also supportive.” The best thing that ever happened was being chosen “Youth of the Year” for the Los Angeles Boys and Girls Club. If she could change one thing
it would be stop adults from forcing children and teens to suppress dreaming and imagination. Personal goals are to be happy with herself and who she is, live comfortably and happy with her family, bring the “American Dream” back to life, and create a wonderland where everyone is free to imagine, believe, dream, wish, and be a child again. 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. Kiwanis treats students and their teacher to lunch. Students receive a certificate, a letter for their parents, a bumper sticker, a gift certificate from The Hat Restaurant,
and a photograph of them receiving their award. Their photo will also be published in Mid Valley News, and displayed in the Temple City Unified School District lobby. Temple City Kiwanis has been serving our community since 1939. Members are dedicated men and women who desire to make a difference in the quality of life for the youth of Temple City.

All of that may have been truer 20 years ago than the reality of today. Sure the drive-in owners are now faced with the digital conversion mandate which basically states if theater owners, both indoor and outdoor operations do not convert to digital projection by the end of 2014, there will be no “films” available for exhibitors to continue operating. What does that mean? Simply, if the owners cannot afford to shell out the big dollars it will cost
to convert their theaters to digital, they will be forced to close their gates and cease operation. Truthfully some will not survive. However, Southern California residents will not suffer the loss of our remaining and beloved drive-ins. In fact we just gained back an old friend. The Paramount Drive-in was reborn this past weekend in the very same spot where it ceased operation back in 1991. With a 1 million dollar investment and the installation of two state-of-the-art digital projectors, new FM stereo broadcast transmitters and two 75 foot wide screens, The Paramount is once again presenting movies under the stars. Operated by the Bian-
chi family, who are still the owners of the property purchased in 1947, the dream of bringing back their beloved drive-in is now a reality and will join up with the Vineland Drive-in, located in the City of Industry, as the only two remaining drive-in theaters in all of L.A. County. With a capacity of 800 cars for two theaters showing double features and open 365 days a year, the Paramount is sure to be a hit with local residents as well as ozoners from across the southland.

Not So Brave New World: The Milwaukee Brewers and Pittsburgh Pirates get into a brawl on Easter Sunday because a Brewer player used a racial slur... Nope. They got into a fight over liberal versus conservative politics...Nope. They got into a fight over immigration...Nope. These “adult” men who (fairly or unfairly) are viewed as role models actually got into brawl because one player admired a hit ball for too long. The pitcher, the guy who threw the pitch and made it easy enough to hit was offended by this. So a fight broke out. Good News Department: As of yet MLB players have not been asked to defend our country. Impressive Life Department:
Former middle-weight champion boxing contender Ruben “Hurricane” Carter, 76, died over the weekend from prostate cancer. Carter was convicted twice on faulty testimony for 1966 deaths of three people in Patterson, New Jersey. After serving 19 years he was released in 1985. What everyone who came into contact with Carter said, despite being wrongly accused and incarcerated for so long, was bitterness never got the better of him. That is truly impressive.

Rosemead capitalized on four errors for a 3-0 first inning lead, but then had to rally later to beat El Monte 8-7 Wednesday and remain perfect in the MVL. After Rosemead loaded the bases without an out in the fifth on two hits and a walk, Matthew Campos hit an RBI single to score Jonathan Chavez (1-3, SB) and bring the Panthers within one. It prompted a pitching change by El Monte from starter Julian Valera to Josh Martinez. Marcus Gomez (1-3, SB) then walked in Angel Lopez to tie the game before Dominic Correa (1-3) singled home Armani Garcia for a go-ahead run. Oscar Noriega brought Gomez in to add another and cap the comeback. Campos led the Panthers in hits by going 3 for 3 with two RBIs and a run, while Garcia (2-4, SB) topped the scoring tally with three runs. Angel Lopez (4-2, 3.67 ERA) dealt six strikeouts against a walk and batter hit by pitch in a hard-fought complete game effort braving through a seven run, 10 hit pelting to earn his fourth MVL pitching win.

Rosemead heads into Spring break at 9-0 in league (10-6 overall) and will return to action with a home duel against arch rival and second place Arroyo in yet another
crucial MVL match between the two on Wednesday April 30th at 3:15 PM. El Monte fell to 1-8 and 1-11 on the year.

The Peterson Principle By Tim Peterson
We got a chance to see Baldwin Park up close and personal Saturday morning. The Braves have over 90 players currently in the program and had nearly that many out on Saturday for spring practice. They had a lot of skill position players and plenty of bubbas along the front lines. The turnout was huge despite about 10 starters missing due to their participation at the Mt. SAC Invitational track meet. First year head coach Daniel Al-gattas is excited about what he has seen so far. “To have this many players out and knowing that we are missing maybe 10 players due to the track meet. I'll take that anytime. It's exciting because we've had some kids come back that didn't play last year,” Al-gattas said. “We've also established a good staff. Now if we win they might be in demand and decide to move on. But that's fine because if we're a winning program we can continue to get winning coaches in the future.” Although this is his first head coaching job, Algattas has had other opportunities to coach on the high school and college level. Al-gattas played at Walnut High School and he was an assistant at Baldwin Park and has also spent several years as a coach and a recruiter for Mt. SAC. He felt like this was a good fit. “I know a lot of kids in this area and have seen them play,” Al-gattas said. Al-gattas was encouraged to take the job by several coaches but specifically La Mirada HC Mike Moschetti. “He kept telling me 'You have to take that job. Take that job. You already know all the kids there anyway.' He was a big inspiration to me,” Al-gattas said. Among the players out Saturday were some key components that could make it a special season for the Braves. Running backs Malik Abston and receiver Raymen Barraza are both returning and expected to put up big numbers. Temple City transfer Nate Salcido was running the ball hard and should be improved after a solid year in 2013. Baldwin Park opens the season with El Monte but then has a huge test at Fountain Valley. “I wanted some tough non league games,” Algattas said. “If we beat El Monte, we'll have some confidence going into that one.” If BP is moved into the

Montview (which should be finalized later this month) it could be a tough year for the other league opponents. Speaking of Temple City, there's nothing yet on the new HC. Yes, we're on top of it, yes we've talked to people. As soon as we know, you'll know. Any chance of Mike McFarland coming back? I love Arena Football. I really do. Covering the LA Avengers back in the day and the LA KISS now is an experience that I wouldn't trade for anything. But let's hope the KISS offense gets in sync before this week's game. Last Saturday night they did something unheard of in Arena ball. They scored 12 points in a loss to Iowa. Yeah 12 points. That's a quarter for Kevin Durant. That's my principle.

Zach Zepeda and Jason Daly crushed home runs in the fourth inning to lead the Monrovia Wildcats to a 3-1 win over the Temple City Rams on Friday in Rio Hondo League action. The Wildcats had three hits compared to seven for the Rams, which scored first on an RBI single by Kevin Chavez that cashed in Paul Kosanovich. Two walks then loaded the bases with two outs, but Monrovia starter Nick Tomechko-Esparza ended the threat with a called-third strikeout.

Each male volunteer was encouraged to volunteer in the Head Start classrooms and participate in school readiness activities at home with their preschool child. Quarterly male activities this year included “Take Your Child to School Day” as well as curriculum activities, with the final activity being the Be a Hero Celebration. “It is wonderful to experience the male participation we had this year,” said Ana Estrada, Head Start Literacy Coach. “We had fathers, uncles, grandfathers, friends, and significant others, actively participating and contributing to the academic and emotional development of the students. This is a commendable accomplishment!” At the conclusion of the event, every male in attendance received a certificate of participation, an activity to do with their child at home and a free book to read with their child.
