Listen to the Future!Diamond Bar Musician to Perform on National Radio Broadcast

NEWS

By Kelli Gile

Diamond Bar -- Diamond Bar High School percussionist, Jeremy Davis, is the recipient of the prestigious Jack Kent Cooke Young Artist Award.

The $10,000 scholarship recipient will perform on the NPR "From the Top" live radio broadcast on Sunday, Febru-ary 11 at 2 p.m.

Five featured young musi-cians will perform and share their stories during the 90-min-ute concert recorded in Bos-ton, Massachusetts.

Jeremy, age 17, will be per-forming “Land” by Takatsugu Muramatsu on the marimba.

“This experience is pretty amazing!” the talented junior shared in the school’s practice room on Tuesday.

Jeremy first began playing percussion in sixth grade at South Pointe Middle School.

“It was hard, but I stuck with it!” he said.

The teen now performs in both band and orchestra in Di-amond Bar High’s award-win-ning program.

His favorite musical experi-ence has been participating in Carnegie Hall’s National Youth Orchestra of the United States in 2017.

With some of the scholar-ship funds, Jeremy plans to purchase the huge instrument, which can cost thousands of dollars.

The marimba is too large to tote back and forth like a violin, he explained.

“With percussion, we have to practice at school. Now, I can get one for home!”

The “From the Top” broad-cast is a fun and easy way for families to experience classical music and get to know some inspiring people.

The special performance will also be available on a future NPR podcast.

Jeremy, who studies percus-sion with Kenneth McGrath, says his proudest musical accomplishment has been being selected to appear on From the Top.

Outside of music, he enjoys playing basketball and tennis. ■

Did You Know?By Nef Cortez

… A n d home!. Many a person who is a head of a household makes this outcry when facing the bur-dens and re-

sponsibilities of having to provide for their families. They feel so burdened by trying to make ends meet, such as the home mort-gage, the taxes, the insurance, utilities, and food. However, there are much smaller “critters” that can literally “eat” a person “out of house and home” These are pesky little things called termites have been around forever! Ter-mites are known to eat a lot! Per Pest World for Kids- sponsored by The National Pest Management Association, “Termite colonies eat non-stop, 24 hours a day, seven days a week!” “They can destroy building foundations, wooden support beams, plastic plumbing pipes, sub-flooring, insulation … even swimming pool liners and fil-tration systems! Termites can also injure or destroy living trees and shrubs.”

However, we do not want these pesky little creatures in our home to eat up the wooden frames, roofing, window sills, etc. So why does the real estate industry rec-ommend that an owner of a home regularly schedule inspection and maintenance and to treat the prop-erty to control termites before they

Looking to surprise your loved one this Valentine’s Day with something a bit different? Check out these five creative gift ideas that will help make the day special.

1. Take a trip around the world with your taste buds. Cooking dinner for your partner on Valentine’s Day is nothing new, but kick it up a notch with an “Around the World” theme. Pick some destinations you’d love to travel to and get into the kitchen together to create their signature dishes. For extra points, track down drinks specif-ically found in those regions to pair with your food. You’ll have fun experiencing new cuisine, and it may even ignite a spark to book a trip!

2. Make more time together. Use some creativity to show your Valentine that you want to spend more time together. Pair a new timepiece with roses for a unique presentation. Consider classic fashion choices with Ca-sio’s Vintage timepieces, which feature stainless steel bands in different metallic color combina-tions, a daily alarm, hourly time signal and an auto-calendar, ensuring you are never late for a date.

3. Commission a custom fam-ily portrait. Whether you have kids, pets or it is just the two of

you, a custom family portrait is a sweet gift and a great piece of artwork for your home. Find an independent portrait artist on a site like Etsy or put your own artistic abilities to the test and create the portrait yourself.

4. Create an at-home spa day. Get pampered without leaving the house. Book a trav-elling masseuse or create DIY bath products like bath bombs or scrubs with essential oils. Create a spa-like atmosphere with low lights, candles and flower arrangements. Order din-ner in afterwards and enjoy the special time together as relaxed as can be.

5. Write a love song. Wheth-er you write it yourself or pick a favorite that’s personal to you, performing a love song is a touching way to show you cher-ish someone. Enhance your performance with a portable keyboard that makes learning easy, such as Casio’s CTK-2550. It features 61 full-size keys, 400 high-quality tones and 150 built-in rhythms to en-sure you have all the tools you need to create a beautiful mu-sical number for the one you love. Or, connect to your iOS or Android device to use the free Chordana Play app, which uses the keyboard’s display to show you how to play your favorite songs. Just download your fa-vorite MIDI files, connect your device’s headphone output to the keyboard’s audio input, and explore an endless library of music. ■

“eat us out of house and home”? Avoiding the damaging effects of the termites’ ravaging hunger!

The advantages of preventa-tive maintenance boil down to Savings: If you plan to sell your home, preventative measures are less expensive in costs than having to fix an item after termite damage. The repairs may add up and subtract from the equity that you have worked so hard to earn on your investment, your home.

Have you seen a tent over a home and wondered, Why that? That is the indication that the en-tire structure needs to be treat-ed in treatment. That is what one would want to avoid having through preventative mainte-nance. There are various meth-ods in treating against termite, ranging from chemicals to more environmentally friendly (natural) methods.

Find a reputable and licensed termite company that you feel comfortable working with, or re-ferral from family or friends, or you may ask a realtor, or do your own due diligence search. Con-sulting with this type of expert will help you plan for your bot-tom-line savings! Saving your home!

Our LifeThe Carpenter

By Michael Armijo

I received an email a while back that has always resonated with me. I find myself thinking about it from time to time, as the words it contained often remind me to work hard and be proud of what I’ve accomplished. It has encouraged me to continue to keep my heart within my work, as you never know what life will bring you. It is good advice, no matter who you are or what you do, and I share it with you now.

The Carpenter: An elderly carpenter was ready to retire. He told his employer of his plans to leave the house-building busi-ness and live a more leisurely life with his wife and extended family. He would miss the pay-check, but he needed to retire. They could get by.

The employer, who was sor-ry to see his good worker go, asked if he would build just one more house as a personal favor. The carpenter said yes, but in time it was easy to see that his heart was not in his work. He re-sorted to shoddy workmanship and used inferior materials. It

By History.com

The history of Valentine’s Day–and the story of its patron saint–is shrouded in mystery. We do know that February has long been celebrated as a month of romance, and that St. Valentine’s Day, as we know it today, con-tains vestiges of both Christian and ancient Roman tradition. But who was Saint Valentine, and how did he become associated with this ancient rite?

The Catholic Church recogniz-es at least three different saints named Valentine or Valentinus, all of whom were martyred. One legend contends that Valentine was a priest who served during the third century in Rome. When Emperor Claudius II decided that single men made better soldiers than those with wives and fam-ilies, he outlawed marriage for young men. Valentine, realizing the injustice of the decree, defied

Claudius and continued to per-form marriages for young lovers in secret. When Valentine’s ac-tions were discovered, Claudius ordered that he be put to death.

Other stories suggest that Valentine may have been killed for attempting to help Christians escape harsh Roman prisons, where they were often beaten and tortured. According to one legend, an imprisoned Valentine actually sent the first “valentine” greeting himself after he fell in love with a young girl–possibly his jailor’s daughter–who visited him during his confinement. Before his death, it is alleged that he wrote her a letter signed “From your Valentine,” an expression that is still in use today. Although the truth behind the Valentine legends is murky, the stories all emphasize his appeal as a sympathetic, heroic and–most importantly–romantic figure. By the Middle Ages, perhaps thanks to this reputation, Valentine would become one of the most popular saints in England and France. ■

The Legend of St. Valentine

was an unfortunate way to end a dedicated career.

When the carpenter finished his work the employer came to inspect the house. He handed the front-door key to the carpen-ter. "This is your house," he said, "my gift to you for all of your hard work and dedication."

The carpenter was shocked; what a shame! If he had only known he was building his own house, he would have done it all so differently.

So it is with us. We build our lives, a day at a time, often put-ting less than our best into the building. Then with a shock we realize we have to live in the house we’ve built. If we could do it over, we'd do it much dif-ferently. But we cannot go back.

You are the carpenter. Each day you hammer a nail, place a board, or erect a wall. "Life is a do-it-yourself project," someone once said. Your attitudes and the choices you make today, build the "house" you live in tomorrow. Build wisely, and remember: Work like you don't need the money. Love like you've never been hurt. Dance like no one is watching. Enjoy life like it’s your last day on Earth. ■

Fun with Grandkids

CROSSWORD SOLUTION

By Mark Hopper

We en -joy taking c a r e o f two of our grandchil-dren one

day a week. They like com-ing to “Grammy’s” house. I don’t know why it is not my house too, but to them it is known as “Grammy’s” house.

One of the reasons they like to come to our house is that we have a closet full of toys, dolls, and other fun stuff. I believe it is the toys that are the real attraction. When they walk into the house, they head right for the closet with the toys. Maybe they don’t have enough toys at their house!

Recently we decided to go out for lunch. It is a lot of work to put their car seats in our car and buckle them in. One is old enough to only need a booster seat. The younger one has to be secured in a car seat that re-sembles what the astronauts used in Apollo 13! There is no moving around when they are buckled into their car seats.

Since both of them en-joy French fries we decided to go to In N Out Burger. Of

You can Depend on YouBy Nancy Stoops

Just recent-ly I had an expe r i ence that remind-ed me of how very capable I

am and how I can depend on myself. After my fab-ulous trip to Antarctica, I found out the airline to fly me home was on strike. It seemed like I was so alone in this and must admit very frightened. I needed to get home my mom and dog had been hospitalized when I was gone. I went to the airport with the other four-teen- hundred people and stood in line for eight hours and finally got somebody to listen to me after sobbing at their counter. It took two days to make this happen. Even though I had a great travel agent there wasn’t much she could do from her end. She told me to go to the airport and stand in

line until I could somebody to take pity on me. They were telling many people it would be eight or nine days till they would have a flight home. That was unac-ceptable for me as I really needed to get home.

When I finally boarded the plane that would take me home I cried with such a sense of relief. I have travelled all over the world and only had two un-comfortable things happen. I was detained for bringing an apple into Mozambique from South Africa and when I arrived in South Af-rica after a grueling flight I was yelled at by a customs agent to stand up straight and show some respect. This airstrike was different it was truly frightening and I felt like I was never go-ing to get home. The thing that got me home was how I remembered all that I had already gotten myself though. I thought about all

the deaths in my family and all the trauma I had han-dled and work though in my life. I remembered how many times I had depend-ed on me to get me though the trauma. In remember-ing who I was I was able to find my way home!!!!

course I enjoy In N Out, too! It was a good choice. The french fries are great and the employees are attentive to little kids. One person gave stickers to both of them and another offered them official hats as well.

While we were waiting for our food, we buckled the younger one into a high chair. She quickly caught the attention of a couple of other customers who smiled and waved at her. She smiled, laughed and waved back as they maintained this ex-change of silent greetings across the next table.

The French fries were a hit. Our older granddaugh-ter will only eat french fries with plenty of ketchup. The younger one caught on to the ketchup idea too. I had a “Double-Double” and my wife went next door to El Pollo Loco and brought back a healthy looking salad.

Don’t worry; the grand-kids had a healthy lunch before we went to In N Out. The French fries were more like dessert!

After lunch, we took time to visit the Michael’s store in the same shopping center. Grammy wanted to look for a small craft for the older grandchild and something

easier for the younger one. I suddenly realized that she had this planned before we left the house. There is no stopping a grandmother who has shopping for grandchil-dren on her mind.

Our adventure was a lot of fun. We enjoyed a nice lunch and met some nice people. We contributed to the economy and enjoyed our two precious little grandchildren. It doesn’t get much better than that!

Let me encourage you to take time to enjoy some of the people in your life this week. You may have an older parent who would enjoy doing something with you. You may have some little ones who are happy to simply go out for French fries. You may have some restless teenagers who don’t want to spend time with their parents or grandparents. Do something anyway.

Don’t wait, do something with someone you love. You will be glad you did and they will too!

ed student is a scholar, athlete, and speaks multiple languag-es. He has been described as compassionate, humble, kind, and funny.

“Quinton is a lot like gravity - a quiet force that affects ev-eryone,” said Principal Robert Chang.

One example of Quinton’s big heart is his willingness to give up his morning recess each day.

He reports to the bus drop off area and picks up the tots kindergartners to make sure they arrive safely to their special education class.

On days he has 100-mile running club practice, Quinton makes sure to notify his sub-stitute, whom he personally trained.

“Quinton doesn’t do these things for recognition, he simply acts from his heart and reaches for his goals,” Chang said. “He’s one of a kind and makes our school a better place!”

Longtime parent volunteer Molly Mendoza, and Quinton’s mom, was presented with the Partner in Education Award.

“Molly has done so many wonderful things for our school and truly deserves this honor,” Chang said.

The Community Club pres-ident has devoted countless hours organizing and participat-ing in fundraisers, activities, and field trips.

“Molly always gives 110% and has been a part in everything going on at the school,” Chang said.

“You have not only left shoes that will be extremely difficult to fill, but have left footprints in hearts and changed our lives for the better.”

Ron Hockwalt Academies (RHA) senior Demetrius Lowery received the Super Star Student Award.

“He’s a great kid and has been a blessing on our cam-pus,” said Principal Dr. Donna Hunter.

Demetrius has done a lot of hands-on work in the school’s HOPE garden and has a gift at fixing things, she explained. The teen even brought a crate of oranges to present to the Trustees.

The school’s HOPE program is designed to help students create a future they want. HOPE stands for Heart, Opportunity, Perseverance, and Excellence

“He’s showing HOPE and heart for all his schoolmates, staff, and school. We are very proud of Demetrius!” Hunter said.

Ernie Quejado, founder of the Sanlo Homestay Foundation, was honored with the school’s Partner in Education Award.

Ernie has adopted RHA and for the past three years has donated a $1,000 each year for student leadership.

“We’re a small school and these funds go a long way,” Hunter explained.

RHA is able to provide field trips, incentives, and activities through this generous support.

“We appreciate him and his support for our campus!” Hunter said. ■

thrived because of the many mouth-watering dishes it serves and the family-friendly atmosphere that keeps people coming back for more. Skip slaving over the stove all day, or cooking after a long day at the office. Mandarin Taste hopes to make every day less stressful and more enjoyable for you while you feast and share memories with your loved ones.

They have added freshly made items to their menu; snow crab legs, California rolls, and Sushi rolls. From Peking duck and Hunan lamb to customer-favorites pork fried rice, wonton soup and or-ange-flavored chicken, guests will definitely feel lucky getting their grub on at Mandarin Taste. There’s an abundance of tasty food options to satisfy every palate.

The restaurant’s owners and staff want everyone who comes to their establishment to relax and enjoy themselves over the delectable food.

“We’re like a family restau-rant,” said restaurant manager Chi Young, when describing

the feeling that customers get when visiting the long-lasting eatery.

“People are always smiling [here],” said Young.

The restaurant holds a very popular champagne brunch on Sundays. The champagne is all-you-can-drink and fresh-ly made California rolls and Ginger lobster that is made by a Japanese master chef, have been added to the menu. All-you-can-eat buffets are available as well.

Mandarin Taste also serves traditional and specialty cock-tails. Join them during Happy Hour, held Monday through Friday, 3 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. If customers can’t come in to enjoy the pleasant ambience, they have the option to order food for carryout. Share the love and give your family and friends Mandarin Taste gift certificates, available year round!

Mandarin Taste is located at 23391 E. Golden Springs Drive, in Diamond Bar. For reservations, call (909) 861-1819. Open daily from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m.

National Signing Day at ERHS

said that, “Sports has helped me so much. It’s been my getaway; I’m able to become someone different when I get on the field, it’s a blessing to be able to play.” Poole will play soccer at California State Uni-versity of Fullerton next year.

While the accomplishments of Roosevelt’s athletes on the field are impressive, their suc-cesses in the classroom are equally as remarkable. A ma-jority of the athletes have main-tained above a 3.5 GPA over the course of their high school careers. Florida Tech commit Jordy Araya took to Twitter to encourage underclassmen to focus on their studies “because of the doors a high GPA and SAT” can open.

National Signing Day is a spe-cial day across the country when

we are reminded of the impact sports can have on young men and women and their families. While sports may not cure all issues, they do have the unique ability to create phenomenal opportunities and well rounded adults. Sports are an outlet that can create a beautiful paradise for athletes and fans alike. Most importantly is the fact that sports brings people together.

The following is the full list of athletes that signed their letter of intent today:
