While on a field trip to the Devil’s Punch Bowl Nature Center, students learn about bees, long horned owls, barn owls and venomous and non-venomous snakes on display at the center. Taking a moment to cool off in a real mountain stream, students enjoy splashing around in the crystal, clear water at Big Rock Creek.
View enables students to escape the city for a fourday, fun adventure in the mountains. Students have great time up at camp and learn a lot while experiencing many new things like being in the mountains and hiking on a nature trail. Teachable moments are abundant at Camp Mt. View where the native plants, rocks, insects and
clear night sky provide the perfect setting for learning about geology, ecology, reptiles, arachnid, insects, stars and the stations of the moon. Camp Mt. View is located about 75 miles from El Monte at an elevation of 7,000 feet, and is equipped with a dining room, a fireplace, a large kitchen, rest rooms and showers, and secure cabins with bunk beds.
The 2014 summer camp program ran for four weeks with approximately 25 students arriving at Camp Mt. View each Monday morning, ready for their camping adventure. The entire camp experience including transportation, lodging and food is paid for by the District. In addition to the activities at the camp site, students enjoy field trips to Big Rock
Siddall as well as dozens of family members who came
to celebrate many of the
Creek for water play and to the Devil’s Punch Bowl Nature Center for an up close look at reptiles and animals who call the mountains home. The nighttime activities at Camp are just as fun-filled and include camp fire singalongs, marshmallow roasting, dances, crafts, basketball, volleyball, horseshoes and archery.

Student's Corner Los Angeles
Ashley Lanuza, contributing student writer from San Gabriel Mission High School.
by Ashley Lanuza
During the scorching summer of July, I took a vacation to the Southern East CoastFlorida, to be exact. As one does, I had a marvelous time exploring their variety of amusement parks and beaches. However, during the end of my visit, I began to feel the tug of home. As I boarded the plane and did some mandatory summer reading, I looked out the window at more than three thousand feet in the air. It was a raining summer season, allowing for the whitest and largest clouds I’ve ever gotten the fortune to encounter. Puffs of pure white clouds, looking so solid I thought that I could lay down on one, like I dreamed when I was younger. Pondering in this nostalgia, I closed the window and began to think about the future, about college. My parental guidance (mother, father, stepmother,
and stepfather) all insisted that I stay in California for university. Some arguments were “Well if people come here to school, that means it’s a good system, right?” or “There’s no point in leaving.” As a student choked with the “moving out for college” image the media and society throws at us, I, of course, wanted to get away. However, during eight o’clock western time, our plane glided over the evening lights that I knew was Southern California- and I fell in love. Los Angeles is clichéd to be a place of movie stars, Hollister’s advertised beach fun, and dry, warm weather. What media forgets to portray, however, and what Angelinos forget as well, is the heartbeat. Even thousands of feet in the air, I could feel that heartbeat, that the city is very much alive. A bed of orange lights, patterned by even brighter lights to cre-
ate a grid pattern on a dark canvas spotted with random red and white lights. Along it is a white snake (aka traffic) that just gives off a glow so breathtaking that you forget how much LA traffic is such a pain. I felt like I was alive once I saw the lights, and then I realized, I don’t think I’m ready to leave this place for a long time. Sometimes, you forget how fortunate you are, and you have to leave to finally realize it. It took me a trip to the other side of the country to feel how empty I felt, and then I saw my city. Los Angeles, carrying thousands of beating hearts, sprawling with lights that blind the stars, acting like the stars of the galaxy itself with its palette of blacks and oranges and reds and whites, is my beautiful home that breathes and weeps and is alive.
WEBB'S RULES
THE BIRD by Eugene R. Webb
Catch up on the Latest News and Events on our Facebook and Website.
I do play cards with a guy I thought of as my friend; But I certainly am not going to give him a gift again. For his 79th Birthday I decided to give him the bird; Now when I gave it to him he didn’t even say a word. Now I know this is a man that has plenty of money; This was a beautiful black crow, I wasn’t being funny. It was a nice conversational piece, I liked it myself; I had thought of keeping it and putting it on a shelf. A few days later when I was able to get his attention; “Don’t tell others I gave you the bird”, I did mention. “My wife is scared to death of birds”, this he did say; Then he said, “I threw it in the trash the very same day”.

He added I have to live with her, the bird looked real; I’m still in shock and I can’t believe how they feel. A gift is there’s to do whatever they choose with it; Now that is how I use to think, but this was the pits. My wife calls it a dust collector, that black crow; With real smooth pretty black feathers it did glow. I felt real lucky to have found that priceless gift; Thinking it was one in a million and it’d give all a lift.

Summer Travels Cruising Alaska Continues: Ketchikan to Juneau by Jo Anne Disney Juneau
The next stop on the Alaskan Cruise was Juneau, a distance of 277 nautical miles from Ketchikan. Juneau is the state capital of Alaska. It lies on the mainland side of the Gastineau Channel and it is one of Alaska’s most import ports. It is said that the city’s chief industries “center on fishing and the outfitting of boats.” History tells us that Juneau was founded during a gold rush in 1880. It is said that the city got its name from a prospector, Joe Juneau, who discovered gold in the area. Tourists come each year to see the picturesque location and the breathtaking Mendenhall Glacier.” It flows from the 1,500 –square-miles Juneau Icefield.” Seeing the glacier for the first time is truly an amazing experience. The beauty of the glacier appears as an overwhelming force in nature. Why? Because glacier’s are really “ice in motion.” “The Juneau Icefield has been around for thousands of
years, but its glaciers flow quickly, meaning that most of their ice is fairly young. Ice at the face of the Mendenhall Glacier is only about 250 years old.” Also, the aqua blue colors surrounding the spectacular shapes of the glacier are unique. According to the book, “Mendenhall Glacier, Flowing Through Time,” by Katherine Hocker, “the Mendenhall Glacier is an outstanding natural laboratory for scientific research. Many significant advances in glaciology, biology, and

climatology have been made by scientists working on or around the glacier. The University of Idaho’s Juneau Icefield Research Program, in place since 1948, has made the Juneau Icefield one of the most studied in the world.” According to Hocker, “If the current global warming trend continues, we should see more and more land emerging as the blue ice melts.” Our next stop: Skagway. photos courtesy of Jo Anne Disney
moving up to their next rank received their advancement award, as well as additional awards such as academics and sports belt loops and pins in areas like astronomy, citizenship, geology, nutrition, pet care, wildlife conservation, chess, citizenship, heritage, marbles and special achievement patches earned throughout the previous year. The evening started off with a speech by Cub Master Terry Lopez and followed by a potluck dinner. The first groups from Cub Scout Pack 551 to advance were the Tiger Cubs, Nathan and Carlos who advanced to the rank of Wolf and were presented with their Tiger patch. Wolves, Degas and Hunter were next to move up the ranks to Bear and were awarded their Wolf patch. Next to advance were the Bears, Roman and with Lucas who was not in attendance. Roman and Lucas advanced to the rank of 1st year Webelos and were awarded their Bear patch. Cub Scout Pack 551’s Webelos were next to advance. Diego and Quentin were
next to advance to 2nd year Webelos, they both earned their Webelos rank patch along with numerous activity pins from physical skills, mental skills, community skills, technology skills and outdoor skills groups. One Webelos who was not in attendance, Ralphie will be honored in a very special ceremony in which he will be presented with the highest Cub Scout Award, The Arrow of Light. This award is the pinnacle of a Cub Scout’s career and is the only Cub Scout award or insignia that may be worn on the Boy Scout uniform. Ralphie will cross the bridge to become the newest member of Troop 551’s Boy Scouts. Many of the requirements for the Arrow of Light are intended to familiarize the scout with a local troop and hopefully show him that crossing over into a troop is the next step to take in scouting. Some of these requirements include outdoor skills, physical fitness, citizenship and working with others. A scout that earns his Arrow of Light patch has also completed
nearly all the requirements to earn the Scout badge in the troop, so Ralphie has already begun his Boy Scout trail. Troop 551 Scout Master Bill Durini and Assistant Scout Master William Milkoff awarded Anthony and Tristan the silver pin Knight that represents their Patrol name and patch. Cub Scout Pack 551 has a full line-up of summer fun and plans with exciting opportunities for current cub scouts and anyone else wanting to join in on the fun and will kick off the summer with a family camping trip this month at Camp Trask in Monrovia and has a series of activities planned for the summer that include visits to the Los Angeles Coast Guard Station at LAX, Forever Wild Exotic Animal Sanctuary in Phelan, NOAA - National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration in Oxnard, American Legion Post 261 Craft Fair, and Boy Scout Troop 551 will attend The 32nd annual American Legion Camporee at Mataquay Scout Ranch, Santa Barbara.

El Monte Union High School District Unveils First “Go Green” Mural by Anne Donofrio-Holter El Monte
Thanks to a Lowe’s Toolhouse for Education grant, a mural inspired and painted by El Monte Union High School District (EMUHSD) students with cognitive disabilities was unveiled recently during a ceremony held at the district office. The mural, part of the District’s commitment to “go green,” was the second phase of the project which began when students studying independent living at the District’s Adult Transition Center were given an opportunity to learn the techniques of house painting from Lowe’s Human Resources Manager Virginia Lea Anderson and Department Manager Jennifer Flower. “The purpose of an adult transition program is to transition Special Education students from high school to the world of adulthood. With this in mind, the curriculum is geared toward providing the students with the skills that enable them to function independently,” said Special Education Programs Administrator Jennifer Braddick. “These are the skills that most people take for granted like working, paying bills, shopping, getting from place to place and maintaining a home. In order to teach these skills, classes are community and vocationally based, meaning that the students learn by practicing while in the community and at work.” According to Braddick, when she first told the students that the title of the
mural was “How Green is My Valley,” “the students all mentioned the recycle logo and a valley” be incorporated into the design. Working with volunteer Artist-in-Residence Ryan Braddick, who created the final design and sketched out each mural panel, students then painted the panels following Braddick’s instruction. Braddick demonstrated techniques and coached each student as he or she painted. Each mural panel has several layers of paint and approximately 40 students participated in the actual painting, while others observed or worked on their own works of art. The project took approximately 23 days and on the last day, all the students attending the Adult Transition Center signed the mural with a thumb print - about 100 student thumb prints in all, which together formed the leaves of a tree. “As a professional artist, it has been a privilege for me to instruct the adult transition students on this project and to provide them with the necessary tools and techniques for them to be able to create a work of art that they are truly proud of,” said Ryan Braddick. “They have inspired me greatly, and I am honored to have had the opportunity to help make their vision become a reality.” “The process of painting this mural has taught the students how to work collaboratively, how to problem
solve, how to deal with success and setbacks and how to compromise in order to meet a deadline,” said Jennifer Braddick. We at the Adult Transition Center are all very impressed and proud of what they have created through their dedication and hard work and would also like to extend a special thanks to artist Ryan Braddick and to Lowe’s.” “On behalf of the Board of Trustees, we would like to say thank you to Lowe’s for providing our students with this enriching experience,” said President Maria-Elena Talamantes. “We so value our partners’ interest and contributions.” “I thank everyone from the
EMUHSD including our Director of Special Education Rita Donato, Jennifer Braddick, along with the school’s enthusiastic students and hard-working teachers, and especially Ryan Braddick for having volunteered his time and talents so generously to this effort,” said Superintendent Nick Salerno. “We also thank Lowe’s, whose Toolbox for Education grant provided the funding to make this inaugural year’s mural possible.” The grant, spearheaded by District grant writer Martha Schirn, provided $2,065 in supplies from Lowe’s. “With schools pressed to fill fundamental needs at a time of budget cuts,
Lowe’s Toolbox for Education expanded its assistance, providing nearly $5 million to fund improvements at more than 1,100 schools in 49 states and the District of Columbia,” said Anderson. “Customer service and community service are core commitments at Lowe’s – and they have been for more than 60 years.” According to Salerno, U.S. Green Buildings Council has agreed to fund next year’s mural which will be painted by the students at El Monte High School. Scott Harvey and the District’s maintenance department also provided assistance with the project.

Let’s Make a Deal Wouldn’t it be marvelous if all of life’s problems could be dealt with like a trading deadline? We see franchises, in every sport, saddled with the bad contract of a star athlete not performing. They can’t just cut the guy because then they’d have to pay off his contract, but they don’t want him around either because he effects the mood of the clubhouse.

(If you have a sports birthday you’d like for us to remember contact me at the address below)
This is like a mortgage or car payment. You made the deal, you signed the dotted line, and it just hasn’t worked out. It would be great if you could call another disgruntled owner and cut a deal. Sending your mortgage and car payment in exchange for a car that fits your budget and a home with lower property taxes? Of course you might have to include some prospects in the deal and take some of the other guy’s credit card debt.

Hall of Fame Love watching the NFL Hall of Fame, but all hall of fame induction ceremonies are not the same. The NFL does it so well that I think the Major League Baseball version suffers by comparison to it. The NBA Hall of Fame? It doesn’t exist. The Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame serves the NBA as its hall of fame body. It also serves the WNBA and international basketball. It is also the most watereddown and least meaningful of all hall of fames. Mid-Bits (just like tidbits) ***I hate fantasy baseball...except when I’m winning. ***The Cincinnati Bengals gave Andy Dalton too much money. ***I’m glad the Dodgers didn’t trade Matt Kemp. ***I wish the Dodgers could have got somebody to take the mortgage papers on Brandon League though. ***Nothing but prayers and best wishes for Indiana Pacers star Paul George after breaking his leg in a Team USA scrimmage in Las Vegas last Friday.

In the hard copy edition of this paper over the last few years we have been covering up to 16 area high schools. What some readers know, but most don’t is that these schools are spread out over four different divisions reaching from Southern Orange County on up to the Central Coast of California. Below the four divisions are listed with the schools comprising them. You’ll notice the traditional Mid-Valley Division still contains most of our coverage area schools, but look to the Southeast and Northwest Divisions. In the Southeast our only school is Arcadia. In the Northwest we see only Rio Hondo Prep which has been moved into a higher division. The most significant of the changes is the moving of the Rio Hondo League, with Monrovia and Temple City High Schools, to the Central Division. The reason for this move was to bump perennial Mid-Valley Division power Monrovia to a higher level. So when the football playoff season rolls around you will no longer see the Wildcats playing locally but against schools south of the San Gabriel Valley and in the Inland Empire.

Galaxy Comes Back, Beats Portland
The Peterson Principle By Tim Peterson
by Andy Villanueva Carson
it to Canton with former Raider Ray Guy being enshrined. NFL kick off is just 31 days away. There was an interesting note in the LA Times on Sunday (Yeah I read Sondheimer). Did you know that the Times number one ranked football team in 2013, undefeated St. John Bosco, had 20 players that had transferred in at some point in their high school careers? That’s almost two complete teams. Number three Mission Viejo had 16. There haven’t been 16 players that transferred into the MVL in the last 20 years combined. Transferred out? Maybe. That’s my principle. Tim can be reached at tim@ midvalleysports.com or on Twitter @tspeterson40

Joe Theisman’s (football) injury was bad; Kevin Ware’s (basketball) was brutal. Tim Krumrie, whose leg snapped in two places in the Super Bowl in 1989, was hard to watch as well. The injury to Indiana’s Paul George in Las Vegas Friday night was the worst I ever saw. It might be because it’s the most recent, the memory still so fresh in my mind. But it was absolutely horrific. I did watch it twice just to make sure I actually saw what I just saw. When Ware sees it and tweets “Man…” you know it’s bad. My first thought was I need to pray for this guy. Latest report is that George will miss at least 18 months. What terrible blow not only to George but also to the Indiana Pacers. The image of George landing awkwardly and mangling his leg will be etched in the minds of NBA players for years come. And of course they will be thinking “Is it worth it to play on the USA Olympic team?” If I’m an NBA owner or GM I say absolutely not. If you just invested $120 million into your franchise player do you really want to risk the chance of a career ending injury? Let’s go back to the way it used to be. Let the college players compete on the Olympic team. The more I watch Dan Haren pitch the more I wish the Dodgers would have pursued David Price or Jon Lester. Ned Colletti wouldn’t have had to give up all of the prospects but just one thrown into a package would have netted Price. The deal to the Tigers proved that. Price is in a rotation that already includes Clayton Kershaw, Zach Greinke and Hyun-Jin Ryu would have been devastating in the post season. Nice touch by Hall of Fame inductee Andre Reed Saturday who after delivering an emotionally charged speech, the receiver turned and caught a pass from his Buffalo Bills teammate Jim Kelly. The two then shared a hug on stage. Kelly, also a Hall of Famer, has been battling cancer for the last 14 months. The two connected for a then NFL record, 663 times in Buffalo. It’s moments like these that make the NFL Hall of Fame inductions special. It was nice mix of past and present in the Class of 2014. There was a guy that has been retired for over 30 years (Claude Humphrey) to guys that just hung them up six years ago (Derrick Brooks and Walter Jones.) Also a punter finally made

The Los Angeles Galaxy continues its mastery of the Portland Timber inside StubHub Center as they came from behind to defeat the Timber 3-1 on Saturday in front of an announced crowd of 20,089. In six meetings at StubHub Center, Portland has yet to register a victory. The win gave the Galaxy its seventh win in eleven matches (7-13-24 points) dating back to a loss to Houston on May 17th. The win catapults Los Angeles into second place in the Western Conference, five points behind Seattle. “Overall it was a good ninety minutes,” said Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena. “We were sloppy at times. First half was a little cleaner. Overall it was a good performance and we are in a good run.” Robbie Keane’s header from a cross from Landon Donovan in the 73rd minute finished the comeback for Los Angeles. Donovan’s pace through the penalty box allowed him to make the chip over to Keane.
Keane later followed with a penalty kick goal in the 85th minute after Juninho was tripped inside the box by Portland’s Diego Chara, who minutes earlier picked up a yellow card on tough tackle. Throughout the game, Los Angeles were the aggressors being allowed to play the ball from the middle of the pitch to the sides where Donovan and Robbie Rodgers looked dangerous, especially the first half. The Timber struck first in the 14th minute as Diego Valeri’s set piece was deflected by the Galaxy’s Gyasi Zardes’s head and found the upper corner. It was Portland’s only shot on goal in the first half. The dominance of Los Angeles’s offense only registered one goal in the first half as Zardes headed home a cross from Rodgers in added time of the first half to knot the game at one. Zardes easily could have scored more than one goal in the first 45 minutes. Thirty minutes into the match, Zardes hit the crossbar after
Donovan found him at the far post. Keane nearly equalized the game in the 36th minute with a blistering knuckleball shot that Portland goalkeeper Donovan Ricketts pushed aside to keep the Galaxy scoreless. With the score tied at one in the second half, Los Angeles continued to put pressure on the Timber before finally breaking through for the victory.

One of the benefits of living in Southern California is the abundant cornucopia of entertainment choices. On Aug 2, 2014 one of those entertainment choices happened at the Queen Mary in Long Beach. Billed as “Rock The Queen” with a tag line advertising it as the best tribute band festival of the summer, buying a ticket to the event won’t break your bank. Featuring Queen Nation(Queen Tribute), Bella Donna(Tribute to Stevie Nicks and Fleetwood Mac), Vitalogy(Pearl Jam tribute) and Negative Creep(tribute to Nirvana) including vendors and food from local merchants, the event is in its third year and promises to be one of the highlights of the summer.
M
Tribute band Bella Donna, fronted by its charismatic multi-talented vocalist & musician Michelle Tyler, is one of those bands that needs to be seen to be appreciated. Having been featured on AXS TV’s World’s Greatest Tribute Bands, Bella Donna has also been given the seal of approval from the gypsy herself, Ms. Stevie Nicks. Backed by an energetic group of musicians performing the rich and diverse catalog of Fleetwood Mac and Nicks solo music, the wall-to-wall hits will have you dancing in the aisles.
