Madrid donated 1,609 pounds of food which the Postal Service delivered to local community food banks, pantries and shelters.

The City of El Monte hosted a Memorial Day Ceremony on Monday, May 26 to honor the men, women and families of those who served our nation and made the ultimate sacrifice in protecting our freedom. “Today we honor the men and women who sacrificed it all so we can continue enjoying the best our country has to offer,” said Councilman Juventino “J” Gomez, a disabled American Veteran who served in the United States Army from August 1965 to November 1967. “We remember the families who will never see their loved ones again and pledge to continue to stand beside them. We send prayers to those still missing in action or who have become prisoners of war that they remain strong and never give up hope. Our community stands by all who serve.” The event featured keynote remarks by US Army Sergeant Joe Leal, founder of Vet Hunters. In his remarks, Sergeant Leal paid tribute to comrades killed while serving together on active duty and reminding the audience to take care
of returning Veterans by providing mental health and homeless-prevention programs. At the event, the El Monte City Council gave remarks and presented a Memorial Day wreath, an El Monte tradition. The ceremony included a tribute to POWs and MIAs, a 21-Gun Salute and a performance of “Taps” played by Matt Weintraub, an El Monte Police Department Reserve Sergeant. “We come together as a community this Memorial Day to honor those who paid the ultimate price,” said Mayor Andre Quintero. “I’m grateful that this city continues to honor the fallen and remembers the Veterans who live in our community.” The City was also recognized during the ceremony for efforts to support our nation’s Veterans, including building the El Monte Veterans Village, a $12 million, 40-unit comprehensive affordable housing development specifically for veterans. The Veterans Village, the first of its kind in the San Gabriel Valley, celebrated its grand opening in March 2014.
US Army Sergeant Joe Leal, founder of Vet Hunters was the event’s keynote speaker and spoke about the importance of providing services to help Veterans make the transition from active duty to civilian life.
“Our community is committed to taking care of our Veterans and we are so proud that El Monte has taken the leadership through the Veterans Village to fight homelessness among our returning soldiers,” said
Mayor Pro Tem Bart Patel. “This Memorial Day we also honor the memory of those who lost their lives fighting a brave fight, and their families who have scarified so much.”

El Monte Union High School District Represented at Annual State PTA Convention by Anne Donofrio-Holter El Monte
The 115th annual California PTA Convention at the Los Angeles Convention Center was "the place to get the latest information on key issues, build the skills to strengthen your school and community, and have fun and connect with PTA leaders from across the state." The El Monte Union High School District was represented by Board of Trustees Vice President Esthela Torres de Siegrist who had an opportunity to discuss the District's 83-year old Parent Education Program with California State Superintendent of Public Instruction Thomas A. "Tom" Torlakson. "In this truly unique educational offering, an adult family member accompanies their child, aged one to four, in a well-designed classroom learning environment," Torres de Siegrist explained to Torlakson. "The teacher is a highly trained early childhood expert, who is assisted by a very experienced instructional assistant." During two three-and-ahalf-hour weekly sessions, children are taught their
ABC's, numbers and basic shapes and develop social skills as they prepare for kindergarten. "An added bonus is that the majority of the adults accompanying the children in the program are English Language Learners," said Torres de Siegrist. Torres de Siegrist concluded by extending a personal invitation to Torlakson to visit the program first hand. Convention attendees had an opportunity to select from more than 75 workshops, including nutrition, anti-bullying, disaster preparedness, increasing PTA membership, public speaking, child advocacy, special education and sessions designed just for students. In addition, more than 150 booths showcased a variety of topics such as child safety, education and
fundraising. Inspiring and motivating keynote speakers, along with activities and special events, kept the convention interesting and productive.

‘Time Jockey ’ 1955
by Joe Castillo Back in Time II … It seems that 1955 was one of those years when everything went right. So many events happened in that year alone that other years look very average. In world events, Russia exploded a onemegaton H-bomb. Many considered this the acceleration of the Cold War. Israel and Egypt agreed to one of their many cease-fires. Argentina’s Juan Peron was ousted as President of Chile and exiled from his county. Sir Winston Churchill retired as British Prime Minister. In news across the nation, the U. S. was testing a missile with an atomic warhead in Nevada. Albert Einstein died of heart failure at the age of 76. Adolph Coors was experimenting with aluminum beer cans. Film Star James Dean was killed in an automobile crash while driving in the back roads in coastal central California. And one of the most anticipated events was the opening of one of the greatest amusement parks, Disneyland. The park was the brainstorm of Walt Disney, who purchased acreage in the rural community of Anaheim in Orange County and built his dream version of his own playground. As part of Disney’s growth, the Mickey Mouse Club premiered on Television. At the 1955 Academy Awards, the Best Picture was awarded to ‘Marty,’ starring Ernest Bourgnine who would go on and gain television fame in ‘McHale’s Navy.’ A number of memorable hit songs were released in 1955 including ‘Unchained Melody,’ ‘Hey, Mr. Banjo,’ and ‘Yellow Rose of Texas.’ In sports, the Cleveland Browns were champions of professional football, the Syracuse Nationals were crowned pro basketball champions and the Detroit Red Wings were the best in the NHL. The Dodgers from Brooklyn were crowned the champions of Baseball defeating the New York Yankees in 7 games. The Kentucky Derby winner was Swaps with Bill Shoemaker up. I believe Swaps won the first two races of the triple crown only to lose the final race at Belmont. Hopefully in 2014, California Chrome will win the Triple Crown and become only the 14th horse to do so. Dwight Eisenhower was President with California-born Native Son Richard Nixon the Vice President. The minimum wage was 75 cents, average annual
income was $4,137, a new car only cost $1,910 and a new house only $10,950. A loaf of bread was 18 cents, a gallon of milk 92 cents and a gallon of gas was 32 cents. But life expectance was only 69.6 years, which is quite a bit less than life expectancy today. Who was born in 1955? Kevin Costner of ‘Field of Dreams’ movie fame, actor Bruce Willis, actress Connie Sellecca, and actor Willem Defoe. Yes indeed, 1955 was quite a year to remember.

Temple City High School Senior Excels in Physics Competitions by Lynne Burkardt Temple City
Temple City High School Senior, Frank (Chih-Yuan) Chiu, is a Gold Medal Semifinalist in the United States Physics Team competition. Frank placed in the top 1% of over 4,000 students who participated in the national competition. First round students qualified for the Semifinal round by placing in the top 10% (roughly top 400) with their performance on a 75 minute multiple choice exam. These top 400 students, known as semi-finalists, then take a second free response exam that lasts three hours. Semifinalists were awarded a Gold Medal, Silver Medal, Bronze Medal, Honorable Mention or Participant title based on their performance on this second exam. http://www.aapt.org/physicsteam/2014/ Frank also recently competed in the 2014 Physics Bowl, where he placed 1st in Southern California (division 12) for second year Physics students. (He placed 4th internationally last year in the first year student category.) This 45 question
multiple choice exam was taken by more than 4500 students. The average score for second year students was 15.7 out of 40 and Frank earned 31 out of 40. Some exam questions are based on topics and concepts covered in a typical high school Physics course but others are designed to test student
knowledge limits so it’s very rare for anyone to earn a perfect score. http://www3. delta.edu/michaelfaleski/ physicsbowl/ Temple City High School’s Advanced Placement Physics Instructor and Club Advisor is Kevin Slattery.

The Peterson Principle By Tim Peterson
With all of the discussion going on about hacking into HUDL accounts last week, I made a statement in my column. I said it was a whole lot of noise about a minor issue. My point was that everybody had access. Coaches send me highlights on HUDL all the time and with those links I could access several other games. I realized that it wasn’t the same access as the coaching staffs had but it still begged the question. Wasn’t watching film and scouting an opponent just as beneficial as having inside information on ones’ HUDL account. And I was skewered. On our website I was advised (politely of course) that I had no idea what HUDL was. I was told that having access to an opponent’s HUDL would give that team a tremendous advantage. It was like stealing! It was criminal! They would know tendencies, play calls, positions, etc. They would be inside of that team’s huddle. I was called an idiot! Torosian said I biffed it! So did Villathedevil but that one I just kicked away like a Jonathan Quick save. So I decided to do what I always do when I have a football question. I went straight to the source. I went to the coaches. I asked just one question “If another coach hacked into your HUDL account the week of the game how much of an effect would it have on the outcome of the game?” And the answer was yes. It would have a big effect…or would it? Actually, to my surprise, the results were mixed. “If you have your playbook, audibles, signs, adjustments, etc. it would have a huge impact. Playbooks aren’t that big of a deal because the kids would have to know the call but the other stuff would be significant,” said one area coach. “Knowing your breakdown of their tendencies helps them self-scout. For example if you have info that tells you that over five games they are 92 % run on first and ten coming out of the green zone (between the goal line and the 30) you can bet the house I will be throwing more on first and ten and may go play action and try to hit you deep. It’s cheating and it is a big deal.” Another local coach agreed. “It would affect it big time. We break everything down from players, to plays to field position, to "tips and pointers." It shows your own tendencies as
well as practices and how you will line up to certain formations. It also shows corrections and what other team is trying to improve on. You still have to play the game but there’s a reason you can't see the other players board in the game Battleship” Ok so I missed it bad. Or so I thought. Then I got these responses. “They wouldn’t be able to tell what I plan on doing to them. They would be able to see our plays and terminology but they wouldn’t be able to use it to their advantage. Really if you break someone down yourself by scouting it’s much better. And this… “The kids still have to play the game and it’s a chess match between coaches and coordinators every week. And finally this from a guy that was adamant that it was useless. “You think I give a (crap!). I will give opposing coaches my HUDL account and let them watch as much film as they can! I don’t worry about that (crap!). Bottom line…the kids play and you have to block, tackle, and not turn the ball over. If you do that you’ll be fine.”

He’s done with this! After 31 years Monrovia’s Dave Moore has argued with his last umpire. Photo by Tim Peterson
Monrovia High School baseball coach Dave Moore has decided to call it a career after 31 seasons and a 2006 CIF title. He informed his team early this past week. Moore spent the last several years co-coaching the Wildcats with Brad Blackmore and it was in the 2006 season everything came together for the program. Monrovia had won 11 games in a row before dropping its regular season finale against La Canada. Shaking off the loss, and riding the arm of the ace Eddie McKiernan,
the Wildcats won five games in a row to capture the CIF title. Respected area wide as a gentlemen and an excellent baseball coach, Moore’s presence will be missed around the San Gabriel Valley. The expectation is for Blackmore to assume full control of the program but a final decision has not been reached. Personal Note: I was a young stringer in 1988 when I got lost and stuck in traffic on the way to cover a San Marino-Monro-
via baseball game. Arriving twenty minutes after the game ended I met Moore walking off the field. Moore then, graciously, spent the next half hour talking to me about the contest and sharing the key moments. I received a complement from my boss at the time that it was my best story, which was humbling because I never saw a single out, hit, or pitch of the game. Moore’s kindness was something I never forgot. I wish him nothing but the best.

Joe T's Scoreboar d By Joe Torosian
Off To Vegas: I’m not off to Las Vegas but if anyone picked the Los Angeles Kings to win three consecutive playoff series in Game Seven’s on the road...they need to load up the car and get going. I’m old enough to remember the “Miracle on Manchester Street” in 1982, when they came back from a 5-0 deficit to beat the Edmonton Oilers, and I believe this playoff run is greater. Thriller: Watching the end of the Kings-Blackhawks game on Sunday night was like watching “The Andromeda Strain” for the first time. Good News Department: Good news for El Monte football coach Joel Sanchez, at least. After eleven years of reading about me critiquing him, he got the chance to see me swing a golf club last Friday. I haven’t seen him smile so much since the Lions advanced to the second round of the 2012 playoffs.

Arcadia & Monrovia Send Stars to State by Sports Staff Writer Norwalk
Sorry To See Her Go: It was sad to hear about the passing of Ann B. Davis on Sunday at the age of 88. Davis played “Alice” on the “The Brady Bunch.” I always heard and read about the things she did, but my favorite on screen moment is when she explains to the kids about “Tinker, to Evers, to Chance,” the Chicago Cubs famous double play combination from the early 1900’s.

Friday’s CIF Masters Meet at Cerritos College was exciting, heartbreaking, and much more as locals competed for the honor of participating in next week’s state finals in Clovis, California. Monrovia’s Cravon Gillespie qualified twice. First in the 100 meters and then as part of the Wildcats 4X100 relay team. Members
of that unit include: Aubrey Mosley, Octavius Spencer, and Seth Raines. Sydney Mosley qualified by taking fifth in the 100 hurdles or Monrovia. On the Arcadia side runners Roni Yamane (girls) and Phillip Rocha (boys) both advanced to state in the 1,600 meters. Yamane used a late kick to climb into the sixth spot,
while Rocha finished ninth but qualified when his time of 4:13.93 came in 0.31 under the cut. On the heartbreak side the Arcadia girls 4x400 team (Campbell Dopke, Rachel Wiggins, Sarah Troescher and Kyra White) missed going to state by just 0.23 seconds.

Men's Health Observes National Minority Health Month by Men's Health Network National
Men’s Health Network (MHN), in observation of National Minority Health Month, is encouraging everyone to come together and talk about prevention in the health care system and communities, and about what they can do individually to keep themselves and their families healthy. National Minority Health Month is an awareness period about the health disparities that disproportionately impact racial and ethnic minorities, Men's Health continued on page 10

and it highlights prevention as a key strategy for achieving health equity. “Failure to address the health challenges facing minorities diminishes the health of the nation as a whole,” said Jean J. E. Bonhomme, MD, MPH, member of MHN Board of Directors and National Black Men’s Health Network founder. “The U.S. has one of the most expensive health care systems in the world, yet our life expectancies, infant mortality rates and other health care outcomes are often middle of the road at best. This situation exists in large measure because many of our advanced and effective health care interventions are not reaching minorities. Equally importantly, studying minorities who suffer the highest known rates of many life limiting conditions provides unique opportunities to identify real causes and effective prevention of disease. Increased attention to minority health could benefit us all significantly.” Throughout the month of April, the Office of Minority Health will join its federal, state, tribal and local partners across the country in calling for a renewed commitment to eliminate health disparities and achieve health equity. Across the country and in the U.S. territories, they are spreading the word that “prevention is power,” to inspire everyone to talk about focusing on keeping our families and communities healthy. “Seven of the top 10 causes of death in the U.S. are from chronic diseases and men of color are disproportionately affected by many of these conditions, including heart disease, stroke, cancer and diabetes, which can be preventable,” said J. Nadine Gracia, MD, MSCE, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Minority Health and Director of the Office of Minority Health. “At this time in history, we have unprecedented opportunities—such as those created by the Affordable Care Act and HHS Action Plan to Reduce Racial and Ethnic Health Disparities— to implement prevention measures to move the needle on health disparities and achieve health equity for all Americans.” A recent position paper published by MHN, ‘A Framework for Advancing the Overall Health and Wellness Of America’s Boys and Men’ (http://www. menshealthnetwork.org/ library/Dialogue1.pdf) defines needs and issues a call to action with emphasis on minority, low-income, and Men's Health continued on page 11

underserved males. The paper points out a few of the challenges of minorities by unveiling the following data: • African American males have the lowest life expectancy in Washington D.C.; • Native American males have the lowest life expectancy in South Dakota; • Asian/Pacific Islanders and Hispanics have the lowest life expectancy in Hawaii. Some other staggering statistics when referring to minority health from the Framework: • African American males are twice as likely to die from prostate cancer as white males; • Native American males ages 15-24 are three times as likely to commit suicide as Native American females and white males of the same age group; • Among Native Americans ages 45-54, males suffer alcohol-related deaths eight times greater than whites and twice as often as Native American females, and die from diabetes at a rate four times greater than white males and 40% higher than Native American females of the same age; • Hispanic males have almost three times the rate of HIV/AIDS as white males and are 2.5 times more likely to die from HIV/ AIDS as white men; • Hispanic males are six times more likely to have never seen a primary health care provider and eight times less likely to have never seen a dentist than white males; • Native Americans are the only racial group in which males score higher in psychological distress than females, based on the CDC National Health Interview Survey. • About Men's Health Network • Contact Information Men’s Health Network (MHN) is a national nonprofit organization whose mission is to reach men, boys, and their families where they live, work, play, and pray with health prevention messages and tools, screening programs, educational materials, advocacy opportunities, and patient navigation.
