STAR Leader Award and a 2013 Leader Top Performer award." ENERGY STAR is a voluntary EPA program that delivers environmental benefits and financial value through superior energy efficiency. Since 1992, the program has worked with businesses and public-sector organizations to transform the way that commercial buildings and industrial plants use energy. The 10% Leader Award recognizes organizations that own a portfolio of facilities that have reduced its overall energy use by 10% or more. The Leader Top Performer Award recognizes organizations that own a portfolio of facilities that on average rank in the top 25% of energy efficient buildings compared to others in the same geographic location. According to Kim, the El
Monte Union High School District is one of two California school districts that received the 10% distinction award this year and one of seven California school districts to receive the Leader Top Performer Award in 2013. "We are extremely pleased with the progress our district has made in reducing energy costs and our carbon footprint," said El Monte
Union High School District Superintendent Nick Salerno. "Special thanks go to all staff members and students for their outstanding efforts." By the end of 2012, with help from ENERGY STAR,
American families and businesses saved more than $230 billion on utility bills and prevented more than 1.8 billion metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions.

Your Own Expectations
by Ashley Lanuza
For six months in 2011, Gaby Rodriguez faked her pregnancy throughout most of her senior year. According to NBC News, she wore an artificial bulge that only her mother, boyfriend, and principal actually knew about. After the agonizing six months and a half, Gaby scheduled a school assembly to reveal her experiment. Before revealing her idea, she had a variation of students and teachers read out loud quotes people said during the experiment. As
Ashley Lanuza, contributing student writer from San Gabriel Mission High School.
to be expected, there were many hurtful words said to her. Gaby’s friends turned against her, giving her what was one of the most stressful times in her life. Her point in the project was to understand what it was like to be a pregnant teen. Gaby’s experiment raised many speculations in its duration, which showcases a terrible phenomenon: stereotypes and rumors. Most of our lives are centered around expectations on other nationalities and tales.
We believe stories that may or may not be true, only because the majority accepts them. Though community thought is always encouraged, we need more individual thought in our lives. We should listen to our own morals, not the beliefs of society. Don’t tune into the opinions of the “majority,” but listen to your own morals and beliefs, because what you believe in is the most important thing in your world.

Gondolas and Castagnas - Part 1 • Dwain C. Crum • 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.
When I first arrived in Italy, I arrived in Venice. I would be staying in this city, famous for it's canals for the next three nights. Then I would remain in Italy for almost a month. After spending 107 straight nights on a ship (The Pacific Princess), staying on land at a hotel was quite a change. George, my travel agent, had booked me a stay at the Hotel Rialto. The Hotel Rialto overlooks the famed Rialto Bridge. The Rialto Bridge is one of the landmarks of Venice and is also one of the most famous bridges in the world. My journey around the world had taken me 37,882 statue miles so far. The cruise on the Pacific Princess was 30,647 nautical miles (35,004 statute miles) plus the 2,878 miles crossing the U.S. by train and car. Italy was the 32nd country that I

'TIME JOCKEY' San Marino Ranch by Joe Castillo
Honored Owners …. San Marino Ranch, today home to the Huntington Library, was owned by a number of the San Gabriel Valley’s most honored families and persons. In the days of the ranchos, before 1850 when California became a state, single families owned a vast majority of the open land in Southern California. One of the first men to recognize this fact was ‘Don Benito’ Benjamin Davis Wilson, who relocated here from New Mexico in 1846. Married to a Californio with two small children, Wilson sought to invest in land in this area and capitalize on his opportunity. Wilson was respected by the settlers in the area for his ability to speak both English and Spanish. He was elected the second mayor of City of Los Angeles in 1851. It was during this era when Los Angeles became a wild and violent town caused when frustrated miners in Northern California moved to the South, bringing their uncontrollable actions with them. Wilson’s first wife died of an illness and he remarried Americanborn Margaret Hereford, and moved his family of five to a tract of land called Huerta de Cuati. Once owned by the San Gabriel Mission, the land was rich in crops and vineyards and included a large lake which Wilson renamed Lake Vineyard. In 1867, Wilson’s eldest daughter married James DeBarth Shorb, an emigrant from Maryland. When Wilson was elected to the California State Senate, Shorb relocated to his father-in-law’s ranch at Lake Vineyard. Shorb ran Wilson’s business while Wilson was in Sacramento and Washington D.C. Eventually, Wilson left Shorb in charge of his business operations and when Wilson died in 1878, the entire operation became Shorbs’ to manage and run. Shorb bought a large home and christened it San Marino after his family’s plantation in Maryland. He and his family continued to run the ranch but many of his business ventures lost money and Shorb began to fall into debt. Shorbs’ health was also failing and he was ordered to get more rest. At this same time, Shorb’s sister-in-law married George S. Patton, Sr., a lawyer in Los Angeles. As Patton’s health was failing, he and his family
decided to also move into the Wilson/Shorb house. After Shorb’s death, his estate was left with a large debt and the land was used as personal collateral to pay it off. Patton was appointed to manage the property with any revenue used to pay off the large debt. This included revenue from Shorbs’ Alhambra Tract and the San Gabriel Wine Company. Farmer and Merchants Bank became a lien holder on the property and when the case was finally settled in court, Farmer and Merchants became the owner with Patton staying on to manage the business side of the operations. When Henry Huntington purchased the property from the Bank, Patton wrote a detailed account of what was needed at the ranch. Huntington was so impressed that he named Patton general manager of his property. Huntington built his mansion on the property in 1911, and in 1927 Patton died while living at Lake Vineyard. Wilson, Shorb, Patton and Huntington were all instrumental in the growth of Los Angeles and the San Gabriel Valley, and the San Marino Ranch was their humble home at one time….

President Jerry Backstrom read a letter from PresidentElect Frank Deckon who has resigned from the club citing health and family reasons. This leaves a bit of a gap and there is a possibility of VicePresident elect Sue Matchett stepping up to the leadership a little sooner than expected. President Jerry Backstrom and Mary will be moving to Prescott after the Barbecue. Their home here will be closing at the end of the month and they are already moved to Arizona. A sign of the times...their home was bought for cash site unseen on the internet from a couple in Asia. Where else but Temple City can you buy a 2 bedroom home on a 7,000 foot lot for $713,000? Remember, our Barbecue
is the premier fund-raising community event of the year and we need you to sell your barbecue and raffle tickets. Ice Cream sales are going strong at the Concerts in the Park with $145 in sales last week. Rich Wenzel is giving the lineup for August 7. The theme is pork with the main dish by Matt Smith and Chuck Shaw, Salad by Bob Rodenbucher and Mike Miller, Dessert by Dave Seltman and Rich Wenzel, Bread by Dan Snell, Drinks by John Gera. We wish the best for John Chandler as he underwent brain surgery. Sue reported he suffered a slight heart attack during surgery. We send a speedy recovery to John as we will miss their smiling faces at our Barbecue. Sue enjoys
receiving the bulletin and reads it to John each week. Tom McIntee reports that Marie is at Arcadia Methodist again with cellulitis. President Jerry Backstrom reported after attending the DCM meeting that we will not be having a Division Directory this year. We will hope for better next year. At least we can’t complain about the mistakes. The American Cancer Society Temple City Relay for Life will take place on July 27 and 28 at Temple City High School. We will be providing hamburgers for lunch on Saturday. If you can help with this worthwhile event please let Jerry J know.

FANVIEW By Joe Torosian
“And all the nights magic seems to whisper and hush And all the soft moonlight seems to shine in your blush.”--- Van Morrison
Oh, I’ve always been a Phil Mickelson fan. Injuries, no injuries, lawsuits, no lawsuits, against rookie phenoms...The Dodgers are (to borrow a term from another generation) trucking! Last Add Dodgers: Matt Kemp...you are killing me. On Monday Anthony White... former Rosemead star, assistant, and Temple City head coach...turned 32. How can that guy only be 32? Maybe its his name, maybe its his travels but White, now HC at Buena Park, seems like he has been around forever. Keyshawn Johnson turning 41 on the same day...now that’s reasonable, I can understand that. Last Add Mickelson: “The object of golf is not just to win. It is to play like a gentleman, and win.” Am I the only one that wants Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez to just go away already.... Here’s a question who gets to the Hall of Fame first Pete Rose and/or Shoeless Joe Jackson (can’t let one in without the other)...or guys like Rodriguez and his cohorts from the steroid era. I wonder what Johnny Blue State has to say about that. A lot of teams are on dead period right now... “Dolphins are just gay sharks.”--Jay Mohr on his Monday radio show. I guess that’s cool, as long as Brent Musburger doesn’t say it. Interesting fallout after CIF denied former San Dimas running back Jake Payton’s transfer to Upland. Let me rephrase... the transfer is okay, he’s just not eligible to play football. I’ve had my disagreements with CIF on how they handle the geography of placing teams here and there...but in this case, as well as the Noodles Hull WestCo/Diamond Bar case... what else could CIF have done. If a kid is running from Blair...then let him run as fast as he can and say “Amen”...But when a kid leaves Charter Oak, San Dimas, West Covina it is usually because somebody else is planting seeds of avarice into their heads. I could get used to a place like Arroyo Grande. Jaromir Jagr, 41, signed a one year deal to play for the New Jersey Devils this coming fall. This guy broke in when he was 18 back in 1990...Do you remember what you were doing in 1990? How many of you were alive in 1990? Contact Joe at joe@midval-

That’s a Passing Wrap at Arroyo El Monte
by Tim Peterson
Arroyo held it’s final passing league Thursday at Arroyo. “As far as summer passing, yeah that’s it for us,” said Arroyo head coach Jim Singiser. “We’ll just do our own thing for the rest of the year.” Schurr, Bassett, Duarte and Gladstone joined the Knights for one final toss out behind B.L. Bergstrom
Stadium. “We’ve been working real hard all summer. We’ll go on dead period and then we’ll be get to our own practices,” said Schurr Coach Marco Ramirez. “I just want to put on the pads,” said Schurr Quarterback Sal Chavez.
Do You Know Who This Guy Is? On this date in 1952 the New York Yankees dropped a 4-2 to decision in Cleveland to the Indians before a crowd of 15,023. On the losing end for the pinstripes was a 22 year old right hander named Tom Morgan (El Monte High School Class of 1948). Known as “Plowboy” Morgan appeared in three different World Series for the Yankees in 1951, 1955, and 1956. His career record was 67-47 with seven shutouts and 64 saves as he bounced from starter to reliever later in his career. Morgan also pitched for the Kansas City Athletics, the Detroit Tigers, Washington Senators, and was an original member of the Los Angeles Angels. After his career he served
as a pitching coach with
the Angels, Padres, and Yankees. Known for his excellent control and good fastball Morgan vaulted to the the bigs in the spring of 1951 when he threw 22 consecutive scoreless innings for the Yankees. “I used to throw to my brother by the El Monte High School alumni Tom Morgan hour in
our backyard at home,” said Morgan. “That’s how I learned control so early, just by pitching.” Brother Richard Morgan played seven seasons in the Yankees chain as a catcher. In 1951 Morgan appeared in 27 games, starting 16 of them, completing four, with two shutouts and two saves. In the World Series that year he closed out the first game, a 5-1 loss to the New York Giants, by pitching two innings and fanning three, including Willie Mays for the second out in the top of the ninth inning. Tom Morgan passed away January 13, 1987 at the age of 56 from complications of a stroke suffered a week earlier.

Top Cross Country Runners Return for Arcadia
The Peterson Principle By Tim Peterson
You know you're getting close to the official beginning of the football season when the coaches start telling you they're done with passing leagues for the summer. Arroyo Coach Jim Singiser told me that last Thursday and West Covina Coach Mike Maggiore told me the week before that. And indeed we are. We're on the home stretch so to speak. Most teams will be practicing “in house” from here on out and then they'll be putting on the pads by mid August. It all kicks off Thursday August 29, just 37 days from now. A lot of news still coming in on transfers. Noodles Hull to Diamond Bar and Jake Payton to Upland have both been denied. Hull appealed the decision and that was also rejected. No word yet on whether Payton will appeal. Any news on Rosemead's Matt Henderson who went Cathedral? His name is noticeably absent on the CIF website. I'm not completely against transfers. If a kid really wants to leave for whatever reason he should be able to. It's better for both parties for him to go if he doesn't want to be there. However there should be a deadline when it comes to football. The sport has developed to the point where it's now a 365 day a year season. I'm sure when the year ends in December, or earlier depending on how far your team goes in the playoffs, the player knows whether he wants to come back or not. Give him maybe a couple of months but that's it. Make the deadline March 1. Any transfer after that date will be automatically rejected. Transfers prior to that would still be subject to review but they must be submitted by March 1 or they would be denied. No more of this transferring in May, June or July. By that time coaches are already looking at their rosters and determining positions. There's nothing worse than your star returning wide receiver walking into the coaches office on May 10 and saying that's he transferring to a school down the road. The March 1 deadline would cut that out. It's not perfect solution but it would help control things a little more. The only exception to this rule would be a situation like what took place at Alhambra. If the entire coaching staff is fired, then yes a kid should be
allowed to move on. I feel bad for Hull and Payton but I do like the fact that from now on kids might think twice about transferring. Doesn't it all go back to what all the coaches say anyway. “If you're good, they'll find you.” Not ready to make predictions yet but it would be safe to say that it wouldn't be too difficult to pick four of the five league winners right now in the Mid-Valley Division. Well actually five of the six if you count the East and West leagues in the Alpha. In the East Alpha it's Paraclete and in the West it's Sierra Canyon. Arroyo wins the MVL, while Monrovia takes the Rio Hondo and San Dimas wins the Valle Vista. The one that has me stumped is the Almont. Bell Gardens went 5-0 and has quarterback Charles Ontiveros among others coming back. Montebello is much improved – Jordan Fowlkes! And Schurr HC Marco Ramirez tells me that Abel Troncoso has been an absolute stud this summer and Sal Chavez does everything except sell hot dogs. Marqus Valenzuela makes Keppel respectable and although they are struggling with some things can we really completely write off San Gabriel and Alhambra? Maybe a late transfer will make the difference. That's my principle Tim can be reached at tim@ midvalleysports.com.
Arcadia
Jim O’Brien, head coach for the last 17 seasons, and the man who guided the Apache boys to three consecutive crowns is gone. He’s been replaced by Michael Feraco in a very
controversial move. What is not controversial is the talent returning to the fold for the Arcadia team. This includes senior Estevan De La Rosa, and fellow classmates Mahmoud
Moussa, and Thomas Tran among others. Phillip Rocha, excellent as a freshman in 2012, returns as the team’s super soph heading into this fall.

Biletnikoff Award continued from page 8
The Biletnikoff Award is presented annually to the nation's outstanding college football receiver (the award defines receiver as any player who catches a pass) by the Tallahassee Quarterback Club Foundation, Inc. (TQC). The TQC Foundation, Inc. is an independent, charitable organization that was founded in 1994. Past Chairman and Founding Trustee Professor Walter W. Manley II, Founding Trustee L. Thomas Cox, Jr., Founding Trustee Rocky Bevis, and Founding Trustee Bob Teel established the award and the TQC Foundation, Inc. that sponsors it. Many more trustees have contributed to its development as one of the most prominent awards in college football. The idea of a college receiver's award was not a novel one, as a number of organizations throughout America considered establishing it; however, the TQC Foundation, Inc. joined the idea to the organization's vision and created an outstanding award and dynamic organization. The trophy, presented to each winner, is the most beautiful in college football - it has won several national awards for design excellence and aesthetic appeal.

Arcadia Rotarians Donate Wheelchairs to Needy in Tijuana
Arcadia
The Arcadia Rotary Club donated 20 wheelchairs which will provide mobility to individuals that have been confined to bed or stationary chairs due to illness or accident, bringing the club's total wheelchair donation this year to 38 under the guidance of club president Eric Barter. "When I became president of the Arcadia Rotary Club, I made our mantra, "We Can Make a Difference," said Barter. "I had seen the success of other Rotary clubs' wheelchair distribution projects in improving the lives of so many that would otherwise remain immobile and knew we, too, could make a difference." "This joint project between the Arcadia and Tijuana Rotary Clubs was the perfect display of what Rotary is all about," said Arcadia Rotarian Dick Martinez. "The Tijuana Rotarians, with the help of social workers, found the most needy recipients in and around
by Anne Donofrio-Holter
Tijuana." Spearheaded by Martinez, the wheelchairs arrived in Arcadia and were then transported to Tijuana by Tijuana club members. The wheelchair distribution took place at Tijuana's child protective services center. "The chairs were ready and waiting when the recipients arrived," said Barter. "Some recipients could not make it due to their inability to travel and sent family members to pick up their chairs." "You could not help but notice a large scar on the lower back of one recipient from back surgery making it impossible for her to walk or even move without assistance," said Martinez. "Another recipient had only one leg and another was battling cancer." "The gratitude expressed by the recipients, their caregivers and families was overwhelming," said Barter. "Each recipient was so grateful of how our
donation helped them improve their quality of life." Following the distribution, members of the two clubs celebrated the success of the joint project. "Fellowship is one of the cornerstones and rewards of being an active Rotarian," said
Martinez. "I am so proud that our wheelchair donation has found such needy recipients and can make a difference in each of their lives," said Barter. "After witnessing the response to the donations, our drive to help those in need is even greater."
The Arcadia Rotary Club meets every Friday from noon to 1:30 pm at the Embassy Suites Hotel located at 211 E Huntington Drive in Arcadia. For additional information, go to www.arcadiarotary.org.
321 registered donors gave 264 pints of blood. The local chapter of the American Red Cross assisted in the effort. “I am very proud of our
students and their efforts to serve the community,” said Mrs. Susan M. Keith, president of the Citrus Community College District Board of Trustees. “Their
commitment to saving lives is wonderful, and we look forward to their future volunteer efforts.”
