Twin Lakes Elementary School was the lucky recipient of back to school supplies thanks to the generosity of Advance America and the SoCal Honda Dealers. Prior to the start of the school year, Advance America dropped off backpacks, notebooks, pencil boxes, crayons, highlighters and other supplies for the students. “It was a wonderful surprise!” said Helen Heller, Twin Lakes’ principal. “Advance America wanted to partner with our school in an effort to give back to the community and we are very happy and thank them for all their support.” The Helpful Honda Guys in blue brought their Random Acts of Helpfulness to Twin Lakes on September 2, delivering spiral notebooks, folders, pencils and paper. To kick off the new school year, the SoCal Honda Dealers hosted Back to School
Twin Lakes’ students, parents and staff were excited to welcome the Helpful Honda representatives who delivered school supplies to the school thanks to a Back to School Supply Drive held at Nelson Honda in El Monte. Courtesy photo.
Supply Drives at over 50 dealerships to provide muchneeded supplies to schools across Southern California. Nelson Honda in El Monte began collecting supplies for Twin Lakes in mid-August. “We greatly appreciate the generosity of the community
in donating the much needed school supplies to Nelson Honda,” said Heller. “And, we appreciate the SoCal Honda dealers for collecting supplies and choosing our school to receive them. They will definitely be put to good use by our students
throughout the year.” Twin Lakes Elementary is one of 12 schools in the Mountain View School District and serves students in kindergarten through sixth grade.

Student's Corner OMG! It’s Fake If you have ever flipped open a gossip magazine and happened upon the “Celebrities are like us” portion, you may have had a question or two. Like why does Selena Gomez look messy but cute after a “day at home” when you look like you’ve been ransacked by a bear when you have a lazy day? And how did Zac Efron’s perfectly flawless body after a workout end up not looking exhausted when, after hours in the gym, you look like you fell (countless times) on the treadmill?
Ashley Lanuza, contributing student writer from San Gabriel Mission High School.
Looking perfect even in imperfect situations is not just the power of photoshop, and it’s especially not the natural charm of the person. It is the act of public relations, or PR, that gives press coverage and visibility of management’s client. Basically, at least 95% of magazine coverages, pictures, and relationships are stagedso the media can feed off the frenzy and push it down our throats. For instance, one of the most apparent fauxmances (fake romances) of 2013 would

be “Haylor,” or the very public relationship of pop country sweetheart Taylor Swift and One Direction member Harry Styles. In early 2013, they shared a New Year’s couple’s kiss, yet everything about the moment looked wrong. They literally took the kiss in a crowd of fans, knowing that more than one of them would be filming it, and right after, mysteriously disappeared. After their “whirlwind romance,” Taylor disses the British star at an awards shows, but is she really that cruel? Or does she know how to play the game, because how many people discussed it and tuned into both artists and their music and their merchandize? Now, I’m not saying everything is faked for public entertainment, but I’m saying that it is mostly staged. The industry is smoke and mirrors, and you can’t allow yourself to fall victim by believing everything they say. The media is a strategic game, in which they are the kings, queens, bishops, and rookies, while we are the pawns waiting to be played.

EMUHSD, City of Rosemead, Partner in New School Fencing
CALENDAR 9/17 - Board of Trustees Special Meeting/5 pm 9/23 - Back-to-School Night SEMHS/6 pm
by Anne Donofrio-Holter
The El Monte Union High School District (EMUHSD) and the City of Rosemead have partnered in the construction of a new eightfoot-tall galvanized steel fence for the betterment and safety of Rosemead High School students and staff. The new fence replaces the current one which is over 50 years old and no longer meets the security standards of the EMUHSD. The cost of approximately $85,000 for the 750 linear feet of fencing will be shared equally between the City and the school district and sits on the eastern property line between the school and a city park. “The District’s then Chief Business Official Ryan Di Giulio discussed the possibility of a joint project with David Montgomery Scott,
Rosemead’s Director of Parks and Recreation, and once agreed upon in concept I worked with the City to develop a cohesive and strong design that would best serve the community and students’ lifestyle,” said EMUHSD Director of Facilities/ Maintenance/Operations/ Transportation Matthew C. Strother. The fence is currently under construction and is expected to be completed shortly. “The new galvanized steel fencing and gates look similar to and will last much longer than its predecessor,” added Strother. “The new fence will be painted a shade of burgundy, one of the official colors of both Rosemead High School and the City of Rosemead.” “We want to thank the

City of Rosemead for their contribution to this project which will aid in the safety and security of Rosemead High School students, personnel and property,” said Superintendent Nick Salerno. “Everyone involved from our students to the surrounding community benefits from partnerships such as this one.”
AAEDE Awards Scholarships to EMUHSD Students by Anne Donofrio-Holter
Arroyo Music Program Receives Matching Funds Grant by Anne Donofrio-Holter
A $600 grant from the Classics for Kids Foundation, along with matching funds from the Arroyo High School Booster Club, has enabled the school to purchase a string bass for its orchestra. “We are just starting to build an orchestra program at Arroyo and we have zero inventory,” said Joe Massaro, band director. “All of the students in the orchestra currently rent their instruments. Since the bass instruments are the most important in creating a dynamic and pleasing sound, we decided to ask the Arroyo Band Boosters to pledge half the money to purchase one with the other half coming from the Classics for Kids Foundation.” The Arroyo Band Boosters is an organization made up of adult family members of current students along with a few alumni from the band and color guard programs at Arroyo High School. The club raises funds by holding two major fundraisers a year. According to Massaro, the Boosters supports the needs of the band program helping repair or replace old or used
instruments and equipment. “They also feed the students on competition days and provide all of the manpower and supervisory support that a group of 150plus students requires,” said Massaro. “I could not run this program without their support.” The Classics for Kids Foundation believes “that playing a stringed instrument can transform a child, giving them experiences and skills that can help make them more successful in life.” “To help realize this ideal, we support strings programs serving kids around America through our matching grants for beautiful new instruments,” said a Classics for Kids Foundation spokesperson. “These quality instruments inspire kids to practice more, stay involved with their strings programs and reap the many life benefits that this exposure brings. Teachers benefit not only from excited, engaged kids, but also through instruments that are easier to work with and maintain, improving both the classroom environment and the educational ex-
perience for their students.” “We are very grateful to the Classics for Kids Foundation for their generous donation to our program,” said Massaro. “I also want to thank district grant writer Martha Schirn for her assistance.” According to Massaro, the two string basses the school now owns will be utilized in all of Arroyo’s ensembles which include jazz band, concert band, wind ensemble and orchestra. “As long as these instruments are here, hundreds of students over the years will learn to play them and the ensembles will benefit greatly from having the strong lower range support of these beautiful acoustic instruments,” added Massaro.
Asian American Economic Development Enterprises, Inc., (AAEDE) presented three of its six scholarships given this year to El Monte Union High School District (EMUHSD) students. Rosemead High School graduate Han Ngo, who will be attending UC Berkeley, Mountain View High School graduate Anthony Mora, who will be attending UC Davis, and El Monte High School graduate Angel Wong, who will be attending UCLA, were recognized during a luncheon in Old Town Pasadena in front of family and EMUHSD representatives. The scholarships ranged from $500 to $1000. To be considered, all recipients had to have a minimum 3.0 (unweighted) GPA, write a 500 maximum word essay on one of four topics, and submit letters of recommendation, transcripts and a copy of their FAFSA
(Federal Student Aid) and SAR (Student Aid Report) Reports. AAEDE “began in 1977 by helping Chinese immigrants acclimate to their new environment and obtain financial security. It has since grown into a full service 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to economic self-help for Asian Americans and others.” “David Woo, founder and president, explained that the four goals of the organization are known as the Four E’s: Employment, Education, Enterprise and Excellence.” said Keith Richardson, EMUHSD Director II of Research and Curriculum/ CTE Services. “We want to thank AAEDE for recognizing three of our District’s many outstanding students and encouraging them in the pursuit of their educational goals,” said Superintendent Nick Salerno.

Summer Travels
Headed Home: Mt. McKinley to Anchorage by Jo Anne Disney Anchorage
After touring Mt. McKinley, we were heading to Anchorage via a Princess bus. Before we reached Anchorage, we decided to take a quick tour of the small town of Talkeetna. This town is the staging ground for Mt. McKinley climbs. It is located “at Alaska Railroad Mile Post 226.7 and at the foot of Mt. McKinley.” There are approximately 850 year round residents. History tells us that in 1915, President Woodrow Wilson “chose Talkeetna as the site for the Engineering Commission Headquarters for the construction of the railroad, and in 1919 the townsite was officially established.” The quaint shops have one-of-a-kind items they represent Alaska and all of the wildlife. The Ranger Station is where potential climbers register and get approved for attempting the climb to Mt. McKinley. They also have displays of the items needed to make climb as well as have a
free movie that details the conditions to expect during the climb. We ate breakfast at the Roadhouse and they serve the biggest blueberry pancakes I have ever seen. One was definitely enough and absolutely fabulous! After touring Talkeetna, we boarded another bus for Anchorage, the capital of Alaska and its largest city. We stayed at the Caption Cook Inn that had a wonderful view of the entire city. Walking the streets, each corner had vendors selling reindeer hotdogs. I just couldn’t bring myself to eat something made from
Webb'S Rules
Santa’s sleigh. But they smelled delicious. We took a trolley tour of the city and all of its amazing sites. History tells us the “Anchorage first sprung up in 1915, as a rail construction camp. The city continued to grow, however still remained a relatively small frontier town until WWII. Soon airfields and roads were constructed throughout the area, to support the war efforts.” It seems that after the war, with the “enhanced flying equipment that was left behind, it helped bush piolets who had become a vital part of life in Alaska.” Due to the
construction of the Alaska Pipeline in the late 1960s and 1970s, Anchorage’s population continued to grow. Today, Anchorage has a population of over 290,000 residents. After a day of exploring, we headed to the airport
to board our plane home. Discovering Alaska was an amazing opportunity. The most memorial part of the trip was seeing the glaciers. They were truly a wonder of the world and left me awestruck.

A PET by Eugene R. Webb
Maybe you’ve never had a pet; Or it could be not yet. But there just might come a day; When you too will adopt a stray. Most pets can be a lot of fun; But not everybody should have one. Time and patience is what you need to do; And nobody needs more than two. Some pets will often just come to us; That’s when we start making a big fuss. And usually we don’t have any regret; For a lot of love comes with every pet. But also with pets comes joy and strife; A pet usually can’t be a friend for life. For they are only here for a short time; So we should be thoughtful and kind. A pet can make you laugh and smile; Having a good pet is really worthwhile. But a pet can also make you cry; Usually on the day they leave or die.

Joe T.’s Scoreboar d By Joe Torosian
I’m not a UCLA fan but watching Jerry Neuheisel lead the Bruins to a victory over Texas on Saturday night was fun. First time I saw Neuheisel play was at the Santa Fe Passing Tournament in 2010. His famous father, then UCLA coach Rick Neuheisel, was there to watch his son but because of NCAA rules he was not allowed to talk to his son. Jerry was okay at best. He had the tools to stand out at the high school tournament but didn’t look good enough to play division one football. When he landed at UCLA, everyone figured out how it happened. Then a couple of things happened, his dad got fired. Brett Hundley became the starting quarterback, a Heisman Trophy candidate, and an NFL prospect. Most thought Jerry Neuheisel would see the field again. At least until last Saturday night when Hundley injured his elbow and Coach Jim Mora Jr. needed a quarterback. Neuheisel stepped in and was nearly perfect. The best was his poise. Neuheisel is a reminder that it isn’t about opportunity, but what we do with our opportunities when they come.

Monrovia Blows Out Arcadia by Joe Torosian Monrovia
To read our latest sports, news, entertainment, and more etc ...
Monrovia defender Anthony Marquez.
Monrovia’s Asaph Zamora has turned his great summer into, potentially, a great fall. Friday night he fired five touchdown passes in the Wildcats 47-14 victory over the Arcadia Apaches at home. The five scoring tosses went to five different receivers. Kahlil Bradley (17yds), Seth Raines (42yds), Jordan Nathan (39yds), Octavius Spencer (23yds), and
Aubrey Mosely (25yds). Zamora now has 12 touchdown passes for Monrovia, which improved to 3-0. The Apaches played without starting quarterback Nico Hillier. Instead Tristan Pena got the start and while Pena didn’t play bad, the big play potential was gone for the visitors. Bradley Mills did score on a 36-yard run and added the deuce on the conversion attempt. Josh

The Peterson Principle By Tim Peterson
Man I really wanted to see what would happen in the Pomona - Mission Prep game this week. If it wasn’t financially possible for the school to make the trip to San Luis Obispo this week then that’s fine. But why schedule the game? Why did Pomona originally schedule the game and then cancel the week of the contest? What changed in the time that the game was planned and now? Reports are that there was no administration available to make the trip. Shouldn’t that have been decided before the game was placed on the docket? If you don’t want to make the four hour drive, fine. Just don’t schedule the game in the first place. I’m sure Mission Prep could have found another opponent. I guess we’ll have to wait until next week to see how good the Red Devils are when they hit the road for Colony. I’m just honked because I wanted to see the results. It was potentially a great game. To all Temple City football fans. I did not pick Temple City to lose to Alhambra this week. I don’t know where that ugly rumor got started. I write “Game Night” for the Southeast Division. Duane Barker writes the segment for the Mid-Valley Division and he picked the Rams. So what gives? It looks like a three team race in the Olympic with Maranatha, Valley Christian and Village Christian all 3-0. Whittier Christian is having defensive issues and the jury is still out on Heritage. The Heralds are actually 2-1 on the field but had to forfeit two games due to an ineligible player. The concern is that they have allowed 109 points in three games including 51 last Friday night in a loss to Whittier. When they’re rolling, which is often, can anybody stop Maranatha’s Caleb Devine and Xavius Boone? Azusa sure couldn’t last week. La Mirada may be the best team right now in the Southeast but that loss to Servite was no surprise. No truth to the rumor that the Matadores get Oregon this week. So was the loss to Claremont just a fluke? I guess it happens. Salesian gets the Jekyll and Hyde award for sandwiching that loss between big wins over Muir and View Park. Okay Crescenta Valley you have my attention. And with Burbank banged up and Muir having its problems are the Falcons suddenly the best team in the Pacific? You know when you cut your finger and pour iodine

Knights Comeback For Win by Rich Whittington El Monte
on it and feel that intense sting. That’s how La Puente is feeling this week after that loss to Walnut. After seeing La Serna up close and personal this week, I’m thinking I should have the Lancers higher than number 4 this week in the Southeast Division Poll. We’ll see. I would love to see another La Serna-Norwalk matchup right about now. Why are coaches so concerned about revealing the extent of injuries? Maybe we need to a make it mandatory like in the NFL that injury reports are submitted each week. Just a thought. That’s my principle.

The Arroyo Knights came back from a 17-7 halftime deficit, scoring 28 unanswered second half points, to defeat the visiting Montebello Oilers, 35-15, Friday evening at B.L. Bergstrom Stadium. The Oilers controlled the first half. Junior running back Isaac Mendibles set the early tone with two first half touchdown runs of 22 and 24-yards, respectively. Additionally, senior kicker Enrique Lozano added a 45yard field goal. Arroyo’s only score of the half came on a 20-yard scamper by junior running back Thein Luu. Luu was forced into service as a result of injuries to senior running backs Gabriel Gomez and Randy Amezcua. At this

point, the Oilers seemed to have the game in hand, but it was not to be. Arroyo’s answer to Montebello’s dominance was the
right arm of senior quarterback Chaz Miller. Miller completed 27 of 37 passes for 304 yards and three second half touchdowns.
‘The Mid’ Area Football Top Ten Monrovia is far out front and not coming back, they are dreaming big dreams. The Rocky Balboa of the area is Rio Hondo Prep. No one gives the Kares a chance, no one believes the Kares can keep on going...but somehow the Kares keep making magic happen. Keep an eye on Arroyo and Chaz Miller.
1. Monrovia Wildcats (30): No one is better right now than the Wildcats. 2. Rio Hondo Prep Kares (2-1): Tougher than a twodollar steak. 3. Arcadia Apaches (1-1): Not a bad team, but bumps and bruises are starting to mount. 4. Arroyo Knights (2-1): Chaz Miller is playing like an Arroyo quarterback... Great! 5. La Puente Warriors (1-2): They can score points, but can they prevent them?
6. Gabrielino Eagles (1-1):
The Eagles missed an opportunity against RHP. 7. Baldwin Park Braves (1-2): Need to give the offensive line some red meat. 8. Bassett Olympians (12): You have to love the Ricky Mejia story. 9. Temple City Rams (11): Rams join the land of the living thanks to win at Alhambra. 10. Rosemead Panthers (0-3): Have they played a full four quarters in any one game this season?

In efforts to jumpstart the shared use of bicycles for short distance trips, the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) today announced it is seeking public suggestions on potential bike share locations in Downtown Los Angeles, Santa Monica, Long Beach and Pasadena as part of a new pilot program. As the agency responsible for coordinating an interoperable countywide bike sharing implementation plan, Metro has developed an interactive Google map consisting of strategically placed bikeshare stations within the pilot cities where bicycles can be borrowed on a short-term basis. The map is available online at: http://
MID VALLEY NEWS
www.metro.net/bikes/bikesmetro/help-build-bikeshare/. Web site users can zoom into the map to view exact locations of proposed bike sharing stations. Users who know of a good location for a bikeshare station can then “pin it” on the map, and a new pin will appear in purple. If a location has already been suggested, the user can indicate that they ‘like’ it or submit their own input about the location by leaving a comment on the existing pin. Bikeshare stations are located near key destinations, including rail and bus stations that are within accessible distance of other bikeshare stations to help people make trips.

Opinion Editorial I went to the post office on Friday to mail some birthday cards and saw there was no line, so I decided to buy some stamps. As I got in line to reach the next available postal worker, I was approached by one of 3 men standing around talking. He asked if he could help me. I told him I was going to buy stamps. He abruptly told me that I could buy them from the machine. I told him I didn’t like using machines and that I wanted to speak to a real person. When I got to the counter, I was greeted by a warm hello and told in a whisper that I had been talking tone of his supervisors from the main office. I told him I didn’t care as I don’t like using machines, I want customer service and that is what I pay for. I told the postal worker that by me buying stamps from him, I am buying the stamps I want and I am protecting his job. It appears that if
management had their way, everything would be automated and there would be no humans and no customer service. After all, saving money is the main focus for management, not customer satisfaction. This type of scenario has also occurred at banks. Bank greeters and tellers explain to me that I could do my transaction at the ATM. I explained that I don’t like machines, I prefer humans that I can ask questions. I again have told tellers that by me coming inside the bank I am protecting their jobs. One of the tellers confided to me that in another state, a branch decided to totally automate itself without any tellers. Guess what, customers didn’t like it and started threatening to move their business to another bank. Tellers reappeared at that branch almost immediately. I am not against technology and automated machines
that make things easier for people, especially after regular business hours. But, customer service is something that can never be replaced. Human contact is essential in good business practices. Right now you can by your own stamps online and print them out. You can pay your bills online without using the post office. If you are one of the millions of people that only exists by doing everything on some electronic device that is your choice. But for as long as possible, there are millions of us who prefer customer service and that is what we pay for. We don’t want to take away jobs from people, we want to protect the socialization and interaction of human beings. I can’t help but remember the movie WALL-E that came out a few years ago. Remember what happen to that society? What do you think?
Metro News Corner L.A. Metro asks for Public’s help in Recommending New Bike Sharing Pilot Program by Dave Sotero Los Angeles
Metro has limited the location of pins to areas that are exclusively within the four pilot city areas. Users that have other suggestions for bikeshare locations can email them to bikeshare@ metro.net for consideration in subsequent program phases. Final bikeshare station locations will be determined by Metro, pilot cities and their bikeshare operator. Locations will be determined based on availability of space, right-of-way, disabled patron access, demand and other factors. Input will be accepted through September 8, 2014. “We’re expanding our transportation options to reduce traffic and improve quality of life for everyone in L.A County,” said Los Angeles Mayor and Metro Board Chair Eric Garcetti. “We all want to get around more easily, and, with the public’s help, we will build a regional bike share program that crosses city borders and gives us a new way to go from place to place.” Metro’s implementation plan team is studying business models that identify how user and advertising
fees, corporate sponsorships, and/or grant funding can support bike share operations. As part of the pilot, Metro will coordinate closely with early adopter jurisdictions before completing its plan. Following completion, Metro will then move to procure, contract and administer the regional bikeshare program anticipated to launch in 2016. Santa Monica will be implementing a Metro grantfunded bike share system of at least 350 bikes in anticipation of Expo Light Rail opening and in support of local and regional sustainability, transit access and congestion reduction goals. “The system is anticipated to be available in 2015, serving areas throughout Santa Monica and up to five locations in adjacent areas,” said Francie Stefan, Strategic and Transportation Planning Manager for the City of Santa Monica. “Coordination with Metro, local and sub- regional partners are supporting integrated implementation so that the system is of greatest benefit to users.” “The City of Pasadena is

excited to partner with Metro in advancing a bike share program that will provide increased access to our Gold Line stations and our many local destinations,” said Mark Yamarone, Transportation Planning Administrator for Pasadena. “Bike sharing is an important component in helping Pasadena meet its goal to be a city where people can circulate without a car.” Bike share programs throughout the United States have proven successful in providing people with first and last-mile short trip transportation options that help reduce local vehicle trips. When complemented with transit, these bike sharing platforms help reduce travel times, improve access and spur the growth of bicycling as an increasingly viable transportation mode.

The Return of The World’s Greatest Tribute Bands by Sal Gomez National
across the country is ready to introduce to it’s viewers to another fresh season line up of music that is sure to satisfy music lovers far and wide. I caught up with Katie recently as she prepares for the season 4 premier to ask her a few questions about the show, it’s first 3 seasons and her hopes for season 4.
Season 4 of AXS TV’s World’s Greatest Tribute Bands begins Tuesday September 9th at 7:00pm once again broadcasting LIVE from the world famous Whiskey A Go Go on the Sunset Strip. The phenomenal succes of this TV show can be traced right to it’s host, Katie Daryl. With tribute acts such as Britain’s Finest – The Ultimate Beatles Experience to Kenny Metcalf’s Elton – The early Years, the premier Elton John tribute band this ultimate stage showcasing the best of the best of tribute bands
SalG) - What’s been your take on the past 3 seasons... any special moments? Katie) - We’ve done 38 episodes over the past 3 seasons and I still feel like a proud parent unable to pick a favorite “kid”. But I will say we’ve had some really special moments like when the LA KISS dancers joined our KISS tribute on stage and when Cory Feldman showed up with his Paul McCartney autographed jacket to see Wings Bands. I also thought it was very rad when True 2 Crue blew their amp on live TV during the
song Live Wire, it felt very rock n roll! Oh, and featuring The Nirvana Experience on the weekend of the 20th anniversary of Kurt Cobain’s death, there was a vibe in the room that night that really gave people goose bumps. SalG) - How are bands selected for the show? The best reaction from a band when they were notified they would be on the show? Katie) - A lot goes into selecting the bands for The World’s Greatest Tribute Bands. First and foremost they have to look and sound great. Then I take a look at their references, social media following, geography and overall balance within the season line up. And truly, my number one priority is making sure the bands fit with the musical vision of AXS TV. It’s always so much fun to call a band and tell them they have officially been selected to be on the show. Funny thing is
Photos by Sal Gomez
most of them get the call from me while they are at their day jobs so they have to play it really cool and whisper their excitement! SalG) - How excited are you for season 4? Katie) - Season 4 is a really big deal to me, it’s one thing to feel the support of AXS TV but to see and feel the fan support grow exponentially up top this point is amazing! I think the line up this season is very diverse and can really please a wide range of music lovers, it’s cool to book and plan such a fun season and now get to watch it go live. And just so you can get a handle on this seasons line up, here is a sample of the
tribute acts that will appear on your living room flat screens courtesy of AXS TV and host Katie Daryl: Pyromania – A Tribute to Deaf Leppard Fortunate Son – A Tribute to Creedence Clearwater Revival Dog & Butterfly – A Tribute to Heart Fan Halen – A Tribute to Van Halen Blond Day – A Tribute to Blondie and on and on... Season 4 of The World’s Greatest Tribute Bands premiered Tuesday September 9, 2014 with Justin Sandor and his tribute to Elvis. If you live in Los Angeles you can see the show.
