Student's Corner Wolf It Up!
Around Town by Mavis Hansen Congratulations to the many who have recently or will be graduating…from the youngest, graduating from their pre-school and eager to begin “school” to the Kindergarteners, the Middle School students, the Seniors in High School, many now college bound and others ready to seek employment and of course to those College graduates who are now ready to tackle the world and make their fortune. Congratulations to all and Best Wishes for the future, whatever you may choose to do. Was your flag flying proudly on Friday, June 14th, which was Flag Day this year? I like to fly my flag every day, on a porch fairly well protected from the weather. We should take every opportunity to honor our flag and of course Flag Day is one of the most important days to do this. With hopes that all the deserving dads were given special treatment last Sunday on ‘Father’s Day’. It seems that the younger children, who have made a special card or gift for dad at school, or gone, shopping to pick out the special gift, are more eager than Dad himself for Father’s Day! When we get older we sometimes have to celebrate Dad by long distance, with the help of the Phone Company and the Post Office. However you celebrated, hope it was great. Friday, June 21, will be the official “First Day of Summer”. Summer makes us think of days at the seashore, vacations or lots of other things connected to fun. Summer is also a wonderful time to do many things around the house. If you are thinking of maybe doing some painting, a Do-It-Yourself Home Painting Workshop will be held on Saturday, June 22, 2013 from 9:00 am until 11:00 am. This is a one day workshop and the fee is $30.00. This how to workshop is specifically designed for homeowners to learn or to improve their skills on painting their homes. This class is taught by a professional painter, Mr. Raul Nessi, who wants to show you the tricks of the trade and save you some money in the process. The class concentrates on how to prepare surfaces and also emphasizes the proper and most effective ways to use tools related to the trade all while keeping safety in mind. If you would like additional information, please contact the Jack Crippen Senior Center, 3120 Tyler Avenue, El Monte, California or phone 626-580-2210. Where ever you are, whatever you do, be happy. See you soon, someplace AROUND TOWN.

In Memory Of Richard Nunez Beltran September 3, 1925 – June 9, 2013 El Monte, CA
Angels
By Ray Beltran and Evelyn Gonzales
The life of Richard Nunez Beltran, the 5th of 10 children born to Celso and Maria Beltran, was not an easy life, but one that taught him early in life that good hard work will always bring its rewards. During the late 1800’s, his grandparents, Maximiliano and Concepcion Beltran, came from Abasolo, Guanajuato, Mexico for a better life. They worked hard and eventually purchased two acres of land at 420 Central Avenue. This property is now known as Cypress and Orchard Street. Maximiliano and Concepcion had three children, Celso Beltran, Louisa Beltran (Castaneda), and Maria Beltran (Ortiz). When Richard’s grandparents died, the land was divided between their 3 children (1 being his father). Richard’s parents,

There they had 7 children, Richard Beltran, Raymond Beltran, David Beltran, Carlotta Beltran (Zepeda) (deceased), Evelyn Beltran (Chavez-Gonzales), Andrew Beltran and Lorraine Beltran (Limon); 23 grandchildren and 19 great grandchildren. He was a man of action and very few words. He was also a very proud man, a family man that would do whatever he could for his family. He was a hardworking man with very good work ethics and never missed a day of work or complained about his personal aches and pains. He was photo Richard N.

In angels I do believe; In fact, a few I have received. Angels usually come in a disguise; At first an angel you won't realize.
An angel can be someone you haven't met; But when you do, there's no regret. For an angel can change your life around; Make you happy and real profound. You'll like it very much; When by an angel you've been touched. Angels come in every shape and size; Sometimes they can't be recognized. Angels are all loving, thoughtful and good; They'll help you do things you never could. God sends us angels, I want to make this clear; When you need them most, is when they'll appear. It's real important to take heed; Angels will show up when you're in need. They may not be pretty or even have wings; But you'll like what an angel brings.

Smarter Balanced Releases Online Tests for Students
El Monte
To help prepare students for the implementation of the Smarter Balanced Assessment System in the 2014-2015 school year, the Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium has posted online practice tests aligned to the Common Core State Standards in English language arts/ literacy and mathematics for grades three through eight. "Common Core defines the knowledge students should acquire at each grade level in English language arts and mathematics," said El Monte Union High School District Superintendent Nick Salerno. "This will require higher order thinking skills as well as applications that include the use of data and technology." According to Salerno, the practice test examples provide an early look at next-generation assessments aligned to the Common Core and provide a preview of the types of questions that will be featured on the summative assessment beginning in 2014. He encourages teachers, parents and students to take a look at what is expected for 2014-2015 school year.
by Anne Donofrio-Holter
“The practice tests allow teachers and students to experience the higher level of rigor associated with Common Core tests and gain familiarity with the online test delivery system,” said Deborah Sigman, Deputy Superintendent of Public Instruction for the California Department of Education and Smarter Balanced Executive Committee Co-Chair. "The El Monte Union High School District is committed to ensuring our curriculum reflects the knowledge and skills our students will need in the real world," said Salerno. "Common Core requires more rigor from students and require students to apply their knowledge in different settings and scenarios." The practice tests are freely available on the Smarter Balanced website at http://www. smarterbalanced.org/practicetest/. According to State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Torlakson, "the Common Core State Standards Systems Implementation Plan for California will take our state's already world-class standards
to a new level, emphasizing a deep understanding of English language arts and mathematics to ensure our students complete high school, ready to thrive in college and careers." "As our students face a constantly changing world, we want to insure they graduate high school with the real world skills they will need to succeed in college and the workplace," added Salerno. "Common Core is, in essence, a shift to 21st century skills that promote college and career readiness and success." For more information, visit www.smarterbalanced.org.

South El Monte High Teacher Awarded Writing Grant El Monte
South El Monte High School teacher Sara Quezada has received one of six $3,000 Bob Costas Teaching of Writing grants. The grant recognizes teachers who inspire their students to write. Quezada will use the grant to publish a studentcreated historical journal that requires students to research local community activists. "The year-long project will require students to research local history, interview community activists, integrate these interviews with corroborating evidence, collaborate with local university historians and edit and publish their work to disseminate in the community," said Quezada. "I want my students to learn about the power of organizing, and ways in which internecine struggles were set aside to promote a greater good. Students need to know
by Anne Donofrio-Holter
that they too have the power to be agents of positive change in their community, rather than passive victims of society." The journal will include a section that provides students the opportunity to reflect on the process of creating the journal, the methodology they used and how the project helped them hone their written and analytical skills. "Instilling confidence in students' writing and analytical skills is a pressing need in the community where I teach," said Quezada. "Many of my students are English learners and the majority of them come from socioeconomically disadvantaged backgrounds. The project will help arm students with the analytical writing skills necessary to succeed in college."

Could this money be put to better use by reimbursing citizens for front-end alignments, dodging potholes and missing pave-

With the state budget setting aside $1.25 billion to implement new standards in California’s public schools, State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Torlakson kicked off California’s Common Core Summer with a daylong seminar to help teachers instill deeper learning of mathematics in their students. “For teachers, this is California’s Common Core Summer. They’ve just finished their own school year, but they’re already back in class—because they see the opportunity Common Core presents to prepare students for a successful future,” Torlakson said. “They’re setting aside the one-size-fits all curriculum, recycling the `drill and kill’ worksheets, and dumping the multiple choice `bubble tests’—replacing them with Common Core mathematics, which focuses on a few key areas at each grade level so students learn the skills they really need, step by step.” At Torlakson’s direction, the California Department of

Education (CDE) convened the first of two showcases on the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) to help teachers learn how to bring the new standards to life. Today’s event, which brought together 150 educators from across the state, was focused on mathematics. A showcase focused on English-language arts instruction is scheduled for later in June. “The focus today is on teachers—because the success of Common Core depends on great teaching,” Torlakson said. “We’re remodeling our education system, but the standards are just the blueprints. The real work, the heavy lifting of this remodeling project, will be done by teachers. That’s why we’ve brought some of California’s best teachers here, to learn from each other about putting the Common Core to work in the classroom.” Torlakson noted that school districts and county offices of education throughout the state were sponsoring similar training sessions as California makes the transition to the
new standards. The Math CCSS Showcase allowed participants to learn how to integrate CCSS math content standards and practices, engage in activities that foster knowledge and the art of teaching, and share strategies for increasing student engagement. The English-Language Arts CCSS Showcase is set for June 24, 2013, also in Sacramento. Participants will learn how to build their knowledge through content-rich information; develop strategies for reading, writing, and speaking that are grounded in text evidence; and learn how to interpret and teach complex reading materials. Participants at both events were to also have opportunities to learn how to incorporate elementary or secondary instructional strategies; hear about strategies to support English learners, students with disabilities, and struggling readers; and see techniques that support college and career readiness. The showcases are the latest in a series of steps taken by Common Core continued to page 13

Town Tweets Golden Bridge by Joe Castillo
Review …. I was having trouble falling asleep so I decided to read the ‘Findings of Fact and Legal Conclusions’ regarding Fred Paine’s challenge against Chin Ho Liao on whether he was legally domiciled in San Gabriel and thus was eligible as a candidate for city office. Too bad there were no pictures in the 32 page document as it would have made for a much more interesting read. Overall, it looks like they covered everything which should have been asked but there was lot of questions which were left unanswered. Here are just a couple of points which this layman reader is still a little fuzzy on. Point no. 1, Mr. Paine’s lawyers asked to have Councilmembers Sawkins and Pu recuse themselves as they may have showed bias against their client or had a conflict of interest. Both declined to recuse themselves and were allowed to vote on the issues. Now, I’ve been on jury duty a few times in my life and if I was identified as having known or having bias for or against a defendant or even a prosecutor, I would been excused. And I’m sure that if the judge showed the same sign of bias he would be removed from the case. The point is that in order to have a fair and impartial proceeding, you needed to have an impartial jury or in this case a city council. That didn’t happen in this case. Point no. 2, the question of whether Mr. Ho was ‘domiciled’ within the City of San Gabriel voting district needed to be answered. The difference between ‘domicile’ and ‘residence’ is permanent versus temporary occupation. A ‘domicile’ is defined as having an ‘intent’ to remain on a permanent basis, while a ‘residence’ is defined as only intended to live at a location on a less than permanent basis. One can only have one domicile but may have more than one residence. For most of us, our domicile is our residence, we live in the house or apartment or condo we own, rent or lease. But for Mr. Ho, he owns a house outside of the San Gabriel voting district and leases an apartment in the San Gabriel voting district.

The Rosemead Boulevard Enhancement Project is about four months along and right on schedule. Northbound Rosemead Boulevard between the railroad underpass to Las Tunas is anticipated to resume to two-lane operation in midJuly, as crews wrap up east sidewalk construction. The Gateway Project is another matter that I would rather not talk about now. All I can say is the hole is getting deeper. With temperatures predicted at 90 degrees this week, it reminds me that free Summer Concerts in the Park began June 12 with The Answer. The expanded dance floor was put to good use. This Wednesday the featured group is Sufin’ Safari with music from the Beach

Five new groups will be competing for your listening and dancing pleasure including a special Patriotic Concert on July 3. Speaking of the park, you need to see the City Seal carved into the remaining stump of a tree planted by the Women’s Club in 1929. The tree was severely damaged in the 2011 windstorm and the city enlisted John Mahoney from West Coast Arborist to carve the City Seal into the stump with a chainsaw. It is truly a work of art!

The Pacific Princess sailed into the Persian Gulf on this cruise not to land in Iran but to visit the port of Doha and the nation of Qatar. Persia is the old name of Iran but the Iranians are not Arabs and in fact the Arab nations do not use the term Persian Gulf (much like the Koreans do not use the term Sea of Japan). In point of fact we visited three Arab Gulf Nations. Besides Qatar we visited Dubai and Oman. Dubai is part of the U.A.E. (United Arab Emirates). Dubai has what is currently the tallest building in the world and another building which I think may well be the most beautiful in the world (and looks like a huge sail from the outside).

Like Dubai, Doha (capital of Qatar) is full of huge skyscrapers and modern buildings. It will soon be hosting the World Cup of soccer. Also, like Dubai, over 80 percent of the people in Qatar are
foreigners. Yes, that number is correct, over 80 percent are foreigners. This combined with all the wealth that you see gives an almost surreal feel when you visit these countries. Dubai just bought some Lamborghini Police Cars. Oman seemed the most Arab of the three
Downtown Dubai countries. For one thing, they have a ban on tall buildings (which may not be abad thing). Secondly, the population of foreigners in Oman is "just" 50 percent. In all three nations I felt very safe and was well treated. In Dubai, I saw a Fatburger. I like Fatburger and go to the one in Carson, CA frequently when attending L.A. galaxy games.
I would have liked to tried the one in Dubai but I did not have time. Oh well, I'll have to wait to go back to Carson when I get back to California. The Pacific Princess then sailed to Egypt, the land of the pharoahs. (My photo blog - http:// searebelcolon.tumblr.com)

FANVIEW By Joe Torosian Solving your problems isn’t our line.”---Chris “We deal in led friend.”---Vin "I think the reason we've been able to continue discussions this long is that it hasn't been talked about (publicly). Now that it's being talked about, it's a distraction because I'm being asked about it,” says Dodger ace Clayton Kershaw. Note to the Dodgers: At this point if Kershaw says jump...ask, “how high?” Last note Dodgers: Mark McGwire might not be much of a hitting coach, but it sure looked like he scared Diamondbacks third base coach Matt Williams during the brawl the other night. Last Add Matt Williams: If you are a long time Dodger fan, then you will remember Williams crying about how Orel Hershiser was “ragging” on him from the dugout when the Giants got bounced from the playoffs on the last day of the 1993 season. Getting a little worried... Yasiel Puig has not hit a home run in a week. If can’t come to play every night in the NBA Finals then you are not a great team. The Miami Heat still might pull off a title this season, but they are far, far, far down the ladder of great NBA teams. I kind of enjoy watching the Spurs. How can the San Diego Padres be two games out of first place in the National League West? Someone tell retired Green Bay Packers wide receiver Donald Driver to stay retired! Tim Tebow is unique... Unique things happen around him...If he’s in uniform you can’t overlook him...Don’t you get the feeling something is going to happen in New England this season or next and Tebow is going to be responsible for something amazing happening? But don’t worry, if you hate Tebow the media will find a way to say that anyone can win with the Patriots... After all, Matt Cassel did. “Silver Linings Playbook” was tolerable for a chick flick...I know I may be late to the game on this, but the sports references felt legit and unforced.

really our first time out after the dead period,” said first year La Puente HC Scott Morrison. “We really don’t know for sure but right now Jacob (Tovar) is the guy. He’s a senior so we’ll see. We’re all still getting to know these guys.” As a back up last year Tovar threw only one pass, while also seeing time as a defensive back. La Puente went 8-3 last year and fell to El Segundo in the first round of CIF’s Northwest Division playoffs. Of the 47 players on the Warriors roster in 2012 just 22 return.

On this date in 1953 in the first game of a double header at Wrigley Field, 18,726 people came to see the Chicago Cubs defeat the Brooklyn Dodgers 11-8. With one out in the bottom of the 6th Ralph Kiner (Alhambra alum Class of 1940) hit a three-run blast off Dodger reliever Joe Black to provide the Cubs with the margin of victory. Kiner had joined the Cubs just two weeks before after being the key piece in a 10-player trade that sent him from Pittsburgh to the Windy City. Up to this point Kiner had been a fixture in the Pirates outfield, but salary disputes with then Pittsburgh General Manager Branch Rickey. “We finished in last place with you,” Rickey said. “We can finish last without you.” The Alhambra product
played in the big leagues for 10 seasons and was its dominant right handed power hitter. Kiner earned six all-star appearances, he was a seven time National League home run champion, led the circuit with 127 Rbis in 1949, the Pirates retired his uniform number “4”, and he was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1975. His career batting average was .279, he hit 369 home runs, and drove in 1,105 runs. Injuries shortened his career, as he finished the 1955 season with the Cleveland Indians before being released. Besides baseball Kiner flew anti-submarine aircraft mis-
sions over the Pacific during World War II, and in 1962
became part of the original broadcast team of the New York Mets. He still is affilated with Mets broadcasts on a limited basis. Born in New Mexico in 1922, Kiner moved with his family to Alhambra when he was four. He attended the 1932 Olympics with his mother, and among his classmates at Alhambra were Tex Schramm to General Manager who put together the powerful Dallas Cowboys teams of the 1960’s and 70’s. And Dorothy Rodham, mother of former United States Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton.

The Peterson Principle By Tim Peterson
Rosemead’s Jay Gauthier Calls it Quits
by Joe Torosian
Rosemead
There is some intrigue to the NBA Finals. Can LeBron James carry the Heat to another title? Does Miami's “Big Three” get broken up if the Heat fall short? Do Tim Duncan and Tony Parker have enough left in the tank for San Antonio. How will Parker's injury effect the Spurs chances? But honestly all this series has brought me is plenty of Z’s. Indiana would have been interesting. Maybe Oklahoma City. Possibly the Clippers just for dark horse sake. But really there's just no interest here. The other night I found myself watching “The First 48” while the game was on ABC. If San Antonio wins, okay then Miami was overrated. If Miami wins well then...Miami is overrated. Please, I don't want to hear about Miami being mentioned as one of the all-time great NBA teams. Those Laker teams of the eighties with Magic Johnson would have swept them. Heck even the Larry Bird led Celtics would have ran over these guys. Let's just get it over with. When's the NFL Hall of Fame Game. We haven't exactly had blanket coverage of girls softball this year - A La Salle story here, a TC story there. And I wasn't planning on going to see the Public-Private All-Star game until somebody put a bug in my ear. But after some prodding I went out to Live Oak Park last Wednesday night to check it out. Have you seen San Marino's Michelle Floyd fire a softball? I've read the press clippings on her and was aware of what she was doing but seeing her live is something completely different. She fanned five of the six batters she faced in the first two innings and belted a two run home run at the plate. The batters were intimidated as soon as they climbed in the box and who wouldn't be? Floyd stands 6-1 and by the time she releases the ball she's right on top of you. Her fastball would be hard to hit with a broom. You can hear it but it's hard to see. How dominating? Think Randy Johnson in his prime. The University of Arizona is getting a good one. It's always tough to replace a three year starter at quarterback but that's what first year La Puente HC Scott Morrison is trying to do. Jacob Tovar is getting most of the snaps so far and looks to be the guy.
Wednesday at Arroyo Tovar was on target on most of his throws. “He's a senior so we'll see,” Morrison said. The Montview could be one of most interesting leagues in the Northwest. Azusa is looking to bounce back after missing the playoffs last year. Gladstone lost a lot including their head coach Albert Sanchez. Jason Martin is putting Duarte back on the map and LP is also adjusting to a new coach in Morrison. Sierra Vista has running back Lee Jones returning but Don LeGro has stepped down as HC. And of course Bassett is the wild card. The Aztecs have most of their skill position players back including quarterback Jose Ledesma, running back Cameron Blackburn and wide receiver Carlos Montiel. They should be the early favorites. There's a world of difference in the June 2013 version of Arroyo's Nathan Coto and the June 2012 version. The confidence is there and he appears to have a grasp of Chris MacMillan's offense. It doesn't hurt to have his his predecessor, Steven Rivera, on hand to coach him up. In the MVL we're hearing the Knights, but we're also hearing Steven Nava and Rosemead, South El Monte, El Monte and Mt. View. But you know where I'm hearing the most noise? Gabrielino. Elijah Peters to Jeremy Franco! What's going on at La Canada? That's my principle. Tim can be reached at tim@ midvalleysports.com.
Long time Rosemead girls basketball coach Jay Gauthier has stepped down after 12 seasons. “I’m thankful to God for the tremendous opportunity of being the varsity coach for 12 years at Rosemead High School,” said Gauthier. “I know in my heart that He blessed that time tremendously and I will always cherish that feeling of being a winner and the many relationships formed which will last a lifetime. All the credit and honor goes to God and to my wonderful Lady Panther family.” The numbers speak for themselves; Mission Valley League record: 108-12 League Titles: 10 Undefeated League Titles: 8 Snapping Arroyo’s 33-game winning streak in 2001.

Rounds 5 and 6 of Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series Runs through Lake Elsinore Lake Elsinore
By Andrew Paul Bettridge
Off road racing from Lucas Oil returned to Lake Elsinore during the middle of May. The new arrangements of the divisions for the series races with removal of Super Lite and Limited Buggy, down to regional races, made for a long exciting weekend of short course racing. Crashes in every division made the racing stretch on and on through the day, with most race vehicles losing most of their body panels. Round 5 the wins went to Blaze Nunley in Jr1 Karts, Ricky Gutierrez in Jr2 Karts, Brock Heger in Mod Karts, Steven Greinke in Pro Buggy, Sheldon Creed in Pro Lite, Carl Renezeder in Pro4, and Brian Deegan in Pro2. The battle in Pro2 was heated. This was the first race since the Renezeder and Woods battle in rounds 3 and 4 in Las Vegas. Round 6 of racing on Sunday afternoon was fiery with the rollover crash and fire from Mike Porter in the Pro2 division. The wins
in Round 6 went to Madix Bailey in Jr1 Karts, Hailie Deegan in Jr2 Karts, Myles Cheek in Mod Karts, Bradley Morris in Pro Buggy, Carl Renezeder in Pro4, RJ Anderson in Pro Lite, and Rob Maccachren in Pro2. This full weekend of body slamming, high flying, and fiery rollovers will continue back in Southern California for the Series race July 26-28 night races at Glen Helen Raceway.

The American Planning Association – Los Angeles Section held their awards ceremony and Temple City took home top honors for the Rosemead Blvd Enhancement Project and for the quarterly Connect Magazine for circulation under 35,000. I am proud and pleased that the city thought well enough of my photos to use them in their award winning publication. The awards will be considered for the State competition soon. Temple City has recently won four awards that are displayed in the lobby of City Hall. If you would like the Mid Valley News delivered to your BUSINESS Call 626-443-1753.
