First of all, I’d like to introduce myself. My

name is Joe Castillo, and I was elected President of the Board of Directors for Savannah Memorial Cem-etery in July 2012. I have lived in San Gabriel for most of my life and spent a considerable amount of time at Rosemead Park as well as the In ‘N Out on Rosemead Boulevard. I am presently a columnist for the Mid

Valley News and write the ‘Town Tweets’ column covering San Gabriel and Rosemead happenings. I also write the ‘Time Jockey’ column covering historical persons, places and events in the San Gabriel Valley. I am a Grand Officer for the Native Sons of the Golden West, which is a 125-year plus organization whose mission it is to preserve the history of California. So as you can see I am a local resident who has an interest

in the local community and its history, which eventually led me to historical Savan-nah Cemetery. One of the first events I participated in as President was to ride in an antique Ford in the 4th of July, 2012 Parade in Rose-mead. Past President Dwain Crum and fellow board member Ross Plasencia also rode in same vehicle repre-senting Savannah. It was so good to see the spirit of the city along the parade route and to notice how much

community support came out to participate in and support the various parade entries.

If you haven’t heard the great news by now, Savan-nah Memorial Cemetery was designated by the State of California as Historical Landmark site #1046. This is great news for Savannah as well as the community as we are one of the few cemeteries in California which have been awarded this designation.

Duarte Woman’s Club members fared well in the annual craft contest spon-sored by the San Gabriel Valley District’s Women’s Clubs’ Birthday Council and Crafts Festival held recently at the Santa Fe Springs Com-munity Center. The results were announced at the local Club’s February meeting.

Luz Porlier earned second place in ceramics for the lazy Susan she crafted, and a first place for her large knitted shawl. She also took second for her hand-made doll and machine-stitched “Christmas Postcard” quilt and crocheted triangular shawl. She won a first place for the handbag she entered in the “Trash to Treasures” category. Sheri Uhlig’s machine-stitched quilt earned her a first place while Claudia Heller took a third in the miscellaneous category for her decorated candle. Jean Glass earned a second place with her “Trash to Treasure” wrapping paper wreath.

Two new members, Janet Giles and Debi Bunting, were initiated at the meeting. Membership chair Jean Glass officiated the ceremony. Ja-net was born in Pasadena, re-locating to Duarte at an early age. She graduated from Duarte High School, class of 1971, attended Citrus

San Gabriel Mission High School is proud to announce that senior, Jaclyn Abing, has been named a Grinnell Posse Scholar. There were over 2,500 nomina-tions from Los Angeles alone, and only 10 openings for Grinnell Col-lege.

The Posse Foundation started in 1989 when a student dropped out of college and claimed that, “I never would have dropped out of college if

I had my posse with me.” According to Posse’s web-site, “that simple idea of sending a group of students

to college together to act as a support system for one another was the impetus for a program that today has

Citrus College officials were pleased to learn that its Midterm Accreditation Report has been accepted and validated by the Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges, Western Association of Schools and Colleges (ACCJC/WASC).

In a letter to Dr. Geraldine M. Perri, superintendent/president of Citrus College, ACCJC/WASC noted that the college responded to each of the six recommendations made as a result of Citrus College’s 2009 accreditation site visit, plus five actionable improvement plans self-iden-tified by the college. The site visit, which occurs every six years, led to Citrus College

receiving a six-year Reaf-firmation of Accreditation in February 2010, the highest rating possible.

“The Citrus College com-munity is thrilled to receive such a positive letter from the accrediting commission,” said Dr. Perri. “As a result of the college’s willingness to engage in self-evaluation and improvement, we can celebrate the fact that Citrus College students have an extraordinary opportunity to successfully achieve their educational goals.”

Three years after receiving a six-year reaffirmation of accreditation, ACCJC/WASC requires its member institu-tions to submit a Midterm

“Music was my refuge. I could crawl into the space between the notes and curl my back to loneliness.”-Maya Angelou.

Music is our way of letting go, we can always change our mood with one song; a song that usually means something important to us. The lyrics carry deep within us, even influence us in our actions. A certain song can break us down to tears, another can urge us to dance silly in the hallway. Have you ever lis-

tened to a song? And, I mean really listen. Do you hear the message?

There's always a message, even if you don't understand it just yet it is there. Lyrics are born out of feeling, the feel-ing of empathy. It hits home sometimes as you sit there with your earphones hoping they will effectively block out the rest of the world. You are truly yourself at that moment, that moment when you truly see who you are.

Personally, music is my

outlet. I listen to it in the car in the morning as my mom drives me to school. I listen to it when I can’t stand to hear the opinions of others. I listen to it when I’m lonely. The rhythms and words of music are soothing to me. As a teenager, I think some of our age group knows how to ap-preciate those quiet moments when we are alone. Listen to the music; it may change your life.

The members of the Highlands Garden Club were entertained by a power point program presented by Claudia and Alan Heller re-cently, vicariously traveling from their meeting at The Only Place in Town in Sierra Madre to travel on Route 66 from Santa Monica to Chicago.

The program was a visual trek along the Mother Road shar-ing the Hellers’ experiences as they traveled America’s High-way while writing a Route 66 series for the San Gabriel Valley Newspaper Group. The show, more than just a guide, contains stories of those who traveled the Road in its heyday, and sugges-tions on how to do the trip for anyone who may someday make the journey.

In the past, Club members per-formed hands-on work at the Ar-boretum. Their current projects include the continued support of the Arcadia White Christmas Program, but mainly the Club exists to maintain friendships and enjoy monthly programs and luncheons.

Highlands Garden Club

The Highlands Garden Club was originally established in 1954 as the Santa Anita Highlands Garden Club by ladies who moved into the Highlands and wanted to learn about what to plant in their yards. The Club’s object was to study horticul-ture and flower arranging, to promote civic beautification and improvement, and

to foster friendliness among neighbors.

become one of the most comprehensive college ac-cess programs in the United States.” In addition, the Posse Foundation “partners with 44 partner colleges and universities in 18 states.”

The application and nomination process started in August of 2012. To select the scholars, there was a process called the Dynamic Assessment Process (DAP), involving 3 rounds of inter-views. Jaclyn was notified in late December that she was a Posse Scholarship winner. She began “Posse’s

8-month pre-collegiate training program this past January, 2013.

According to Jaclyn, “I chose Grinnell College

(located in Grinnell, Iowa with a population of 9,100), because of its mission in self-governance and open curriculum” as well as its size, as Grinnell has a little less than 1,600 student s in total. Jaclyn is very excited as Grinnell is “one of the top and most rigorous lib-eral arts colleges, and it has become her dream school.”

Jaclyn will major in His-tory aspiring to work in the field of education, with an emphasis on teaching at the college level.

Congratulations Ms. Jaclyn Abing on becoming a Grinnell Posse Scholar. Your Mission High Family is proud of your accom-plishment.

St. Mary's City, Md. – Scott Devine, Director of Athlet-ics and Recreation at St. Mary's College of Maryland, is pleased to announce the promotion of William "Jim" Cranmer (Temple City, Calif.) to Assistant Athletic Director for Operations and Compli-ance, effective immediately.

Cranmer, who is currently the head athletic trainer for all 17 Seahawk varsity sports, will now oversee the opera-tions of the sports information office, the equipment room, baseball, and men's soccer while coordinating all of the teams' travel. Cranmer will continue with his role as the department's compliance of-ficer, a duty he assumed 10 years ago.

Devine stated, "I am pleased to announce that Jim Cranmer has been promoted to assume the duties of As-sistant Athletic Director for Operations and Compliance. The position became avail-able when Shawne McCoy, the former Assistant AD, was recently named the Director of Athletics and Recreation at Penn State-Abington. Jim has been an effective and loyal staff member in the Depart-ment for fourteen years."

"He has overseen an athletic training operation which has grown from a staff of one to a staff of three full-time athletic trainers in our efforts to properly and safely cover all of our varsity athletic programs. He has also been a key administrator, serving on the Department's Manage-ment Team; developing our

compliance program; assisting in annual reports; and over-seeing our roster management systems."

A 1991 graduate of Whittier College in California, he went to Humboldt State University in Arcata, Calif., where Cran-mer served as a graduate as-sistant athletic trainer for the men's and women's basketball programs from 1991 to 1993.

"Jim has performed in a backup role to game opera-tions and event management during his tenure, so this move to put Jim in charge of our athletic events and further advancing our NCAA Certification and Compliance programming seemed like a natural progression in his career, while also being the most effective way to fill the needs of the Department," added Devine.

After leaving Humboldt State, he worked for one year at Warren High School in Downey, Calif. Cranmer then moved on to work for the Los Angeles Dodgers from July 1994 until his arrival at St. Mary's in December 1999. While with the Dodgers, he worked with Short Season A in Yakima, Washington; Long Season A in San Bernardino, Calif.; and Double-A in San Antonio, Texas.

Devine declared, "I look forward to working very closely with Jim as he settles into his new and expanded role. We will initiate a search to fill the vacated head ath-letic trainer position in late spring."

" The Sea Rebel "Places Visited

• Dwain C. Crum •

Some questions are easy to answer but I've found out in life that most are not. As I boarded the ship Pacific Princess for the second leg of my journey around the world one question that keeps popping up is "How many countries will you be visiting on this trip?" It is not as easy a question as one might think.

When asked, "How many states have I been to? I can easily answer all 50. There are 50 states in the United States and I've been to them all. Simple question, simple answer. Years ago on a cruise I met a person who was a member of the Traveler's Century Club who told me he had visited over 100 countries, but his exact number depended on your definition.

The Traveler's Century

Club includes some desti-nations that are clearly not countries, such as Alaska and Hawaii. While many Ameri-cans might balk at having two of our states on such a list, I believe many of you might feel that having the U.S. Virgin Islands on the list is much more acceptable.

So the first thing that I did was tried to determine how many places have I been prior to this trip. My first 10 cruises were to either Canada or Mexico so (ignoring Alas-ka for the moment) that was pretty easy. Starting with a cruise that I took in 2010, things got more complicated.

In 2010, I went to St. Thomas in the U.S. Virgin Islands and I also went to the Caribbean island of St. Mar-tin/St. Marteen - a unique island shared by France and the Netherlands. So by the

Trav-eler's Century Club list I'm now up to 18. If you exclude Alaska, Ha-waii and the U.S. Virgin Is-lands - I'm at 15 (but visiting St. Martin does not make me feel like I've been to France).

Perhaps a better way is to count the number of ports visited. One crewmember on a previous trip had been to 300 ports. I find that sim-pler as well. In the past I've been to 49 different ports during 19 different cruises (My first was Ensenada, Mexico when on the S.S. Azure Seas back in the 1980's). "How many coun-tries will you be visiting on this trip? I'll have an answer to that as the trip progresses.

Bill McCawley …. In 1996, the Los Angeles Times wrote a review of Bill McCawley’s book ‘The First Angelinos: The Gabrielino Indians of Los An-geles’. McCawley was raised in Long Beach and had always shown an interest in Califor-nia History while searching for arrowheads and dinosaur bones as a young child. As a college student he took Frank Fenenga’s archaeology class at Cal State Long Beach. McCaw-ley wanted to write a magazine article on the local Gabrieleno’s but Fenenga talked him into writing a book instead. The year was 1978 and seventeen years later, McCawley finally finished writing his book. The book marked the first new publication on the Gabrielinos in over 30 years. For more than 800 years, the Gabrielino’s in-habited an area which covered most of Los Angeles County, half of Orange County and portions of Riverside and San Bernardino Counties. It was McCawley’s estimate that the Gabrielinos first became settled in the Los Angeles region sometime between 500 and 1,000 AD. It is estimated that their peak population was 5,000 before the Spanish arrival in the late 1700’s. The Spanish pro-ceeded to train the Gabrielinos in the various trades associated to the construction of the Mis-sions, ranchos and pueblos of Los Angeles. Their skills were used to provide maintenance of the Missions, as well as manag-ing the livestock and providing farming skills for maintaining the large number of crops and vineyards. McCawley stated the Gabrielinos did all of the work, and without that work the area would not have been as economically developed as it became. McCawley extensively researched the Gabrieleno culture and noted that it was a rich and complex culture. His book included illustrations of the Gabrieleno community, place names, political and social structure, economic trade and organization, religious, games, music and recreation. At first, McCawley thought that it would take 2-3 years to complete but 17 years was completely unexpected. Mc-Cawley performed research part-time and did not have a grant or other financial as-sistance to complete his work. Publishers were uninterested as the subject was considered ‘too regional’ to publish. Feeling discouraged, McCawley almost stopped the project but instead he kept doggedly on it. Finally

in 1986, McCawley received a big break. The Smithsonian Institute released John Peabody Harrington’s field notes and microfilm on the Gabrielinos from the early 1900’s. The notes offered a treasure trove of information on the Gabrieleno place names, village names, and community locations, stories, legends, histories, reli-gious practices, weapons, tools, housing and clothing. It took McCawley a year and a half to go through all of Harrington’s notes. Bernice Johnston also used Harrington’s notes to write her book, ‘California’s Gabri-elino Indians’, but the book published in 1962 is now out of print. McCawley noted that the Gabrieleno’s were involved in various battles and feuds but were not known as an aggres-sive people. In addition, the Gabrielinos had a refined reli-gion and believed in a supreme being named Chengiichngech. Once the Spanish arrived in the late 1700’s, the Gabrieleno’s were renamed after the Mis-sion which they worked at, and their culture and history slowly disappeared. The caused was mostly due to intermarriages, measles, influenza, small pox and other European diseases. In 1996, McCawley estimated that only several hundred to several thousand Gabrielinos remained, and was uncertain if any were full-blooded. The article indi-cates that McCawley is glad to see that the culture of the Ga-brielinos still exists today and great steps in its preservation continues to take place…

It's a year around celebra-tion for Monrovia. First there was the third consecutive Mid-Valley Divison title. Then it was on to the State tournament. Now the Wildcats have had five players receive scholarships to play college football.

Anthony Craft was the latest to sign as he confirmed Sat-urday that he will be playing at Arkansas Pine Bluff. Craft joins Brett Walsh, George Fra-zier, Mason Bryant and Isaac Miravet in the scholarship club. There could be more to come.

Think about this. Remem-ber when Monrovia was a school that hadn't won a championship? Now the last time Monrovia hasn't won a championship was 2009. That was the year the Cats lost the title game to San Dimas on a rain soaked Citrus College Field.

How will the Cats fare next year? It's too early to tell but Deshawn Potts at quarterback, Darione Jones at running back, Josh Cano and Erik Brooks on the offensive line is a good nucleus to build around.

Who else should we look out for in 2013? Through the SGV grapevine I'm hearing Rosemead.

It's sometimes hard for me to understand why head coaches leave one job for an-other but in the case of Bran-don Rohrer it makes sense.

As competetive as La Puente is there is always going to be a different type of athlete at Etiwanda. And I'm sure there was a teaching position and a nice bump in pay that came with the package. As in differ-ent type of athlete I mean D-1 athletes.

“Are you kidding me? I'd kill to have a chance to coach the kids thay have there,” one local coach told me last week.

Also if Rohrer has aspira-tions for coaching at an even higher level a successful run at Etiwanda would greatly enhance his resume. Rohrer is a good coach and always an insightful interview. Hope to catch up with him again in the future.

So who takes over at LP? Well Rohrer would know best. He is the AD and wll be mak-ing that decision soon. Stay tuned.

January, February and March can be the most interesting part of the off season-watching the coach-ing carrousel go round and round. We're still waiting to see where qualified coaches like Jude Oliva, Matt Lopez and David Ramos land. This is just a thought but is there any chance that Eric Esca-milla is ready to jump back in the mix?

Anything at Gladstone? I'm sure there is a place

on an NFL roster for Dwight Freeney. Freeney's sack totals have declined for the Colts

in the last three years but he is only 33 and will be a great part time player for some-body. I can already see him in a New England Patriot uniform.

As for Charles Woodson? Not so much. He is com-ing off a season in which he missed nine games due to a broken collarbone and was moved from cornerback to safety because of diminishing cover skills. Plus, Woodson has been in the league for 15 years and will turn 37 in October.

Is there anybody that thinks the Ravens will repeat?

Arroyo, Temple City, Work-man and Covina, all undefeat-ed in their respective leagues, were all eliminated from the CIF playoffs this week. Okay, that happens sometimes. Good teams go down. The tragic part of the whole thing is the opponents that they lost to.

Why is Arroyo playing Servite? Temple City? The Rams had to travel to Lake Elsinore to get beat. Workman drove to San Juan Capristrano and Covina made that beauti-ful drive out to Hemet. Here's a thought. How about playoff matchups featuring Arroyo at Temple City and Covina at Workman? You get all of the local flavor and it's a just a short little ride for bus drivers. Nah, it makes too much sense.

That's my principle.

The Peterson Principal By Tim Peterson


FANVIEWBy Joe Torosian

Did you know there are 32 football teams in the Mid-Valley Division…and that 18 of those schools will be looking for a new starting center?

Arroyo loses James Rivera, but El Monte returns Brandon Baiza, Baldwin Park Sergio Meza, and Monrovia Erik Brooks.

In fact of the 160 starting offensive line positions avail-able in the division (32 centers, 64 guards, 64 tackles)…Only 59 starters are returning, and even in that group there are several who started three games or fewer because of injuries or coaching decisions.

The point?Try being a coach, with every-

one asking you about who your next quarterback is going to be, who has to find a way to fit Mid-Valley Division size bodies into those five slots.

The freshman speedster can stay 5-6 or 5-7 for four years and a program will get a lot of clicks out of him. But will the freshman offensive linemen who is 5-9 170 be any bigger two/three years later?

Expect Mt. View to scrap its double-wing and go with more of a Pistol approach in 2013. Chris Cervantes and Josh Martinez are lead candidates at quarterback for right now. Jerry Rivas is the Vikings new offen-sive coordinator.

People come to me all the time and say; “Joe, you’re a rambling guy, do you find it difficult to keep your personal bias out of rooting for a specific team?”

I’m accused of this all the time…While I can be bought, flattery won’t get you any-where… but lunch and/or gear always works for me. Truthfully, when we covered our old school 12 we always favored them. Now, since we expanded about five years ago, it’s all a win-win for us. There’s a great story in every victory, and a really great story in every loss.

Obligatory Baseball Com-ment: Did the Mariners spend too much on King Felix?

I don’t have the history of La Puente football wired, but I’m going to guess that Brandon Rohrer leaves as perhaps the Warriors all time winningest coach. Someone want to look that up and get back to me in time for 2016 season?

And since we’re talking about eyes and keeping them fixed on something…then keep one of them on Arcadia cornerback Robbie Hillier II…He tackles, he defends, and he’s only going to be a junior.Contact Joe at [email protected]

Monrovia WR/DB Antho-ny Craft is the lastest Wildcat to sign a football scholar-ship to play at the next level. Craft is heading to Arkan-sas Pine Bluff he confirmed Saturday.

Craft caught 41 passes for 685 yards and eight touch-downs in 2012. Defensively he had two interceptions and 52 tackles for the Mid-Valley Division Champions. Craft joins fel-low teammates Brett Walsh,

Mason Bryant, George Frazier and Isaac Miravet to sign to play college football. Craft played on all three of

Mon-rovia’s champi-onship teams.

“I’m going to have a great chance to play right away,” Craft said. “Coach

Monte Coleman sold me on the program. The team went 10-2 least year and won the SWAC.”

Rosemead ran off the first 13 points of the game to deliver an early knock-out punch and cruise to an easy 51-26 rout of Nogales Thursday night to advance to the second round of the CIF playoffs.

Nogales didn’t score a point until there was 1:37 left in the first quarter and trailed 15-2 after one. It didn’t get much better in the second as the Lady Panther defense limited Nogales to six in the quarter for a 25-8 halftime advantage. Rosemead came out in a trap defense that confused the Lady Nobles and resulted in the big early advan-tage for the Lady Panthers.

“We wanted to do that right off the bat – keep them in front of us and basically limit their shots,” said Rosemead Coach Jay Gauthier. “If they do get past it it gives them less time to set something up.”

Sarah Regan scored the first seven points of the game for Rosemead and had 10 in the first half.

Nogales finally managed a double digit quarter in the third with 12 but the Lady Nobles were still down by 16 after three.

Sydney Hua got it going for the Lady Panthers in the third quarter with nine points and added another six in the fourth including four for four from the line. Hua led all scorers with 19. She carried the Rosemead offense in the second half with Melody Gauthier injuring her finger.

“Melody got hurt in the first half. We’re hoping it’s just dislocated but we’re not sure,” Gauthier said. “She

was out there mainly as a decoy so that kind of slowed it down a little bit. But Syd took over and made some great plays like she is ca-pable of doing.”

Hua and the Lady Panthers outscored Nogales 15-6 in the final frame to put it away.

Gauther scored nine and Regan finished with 10, all in the first half.

For Nogales, Ashley Red-mon led the way with 15.

Lady Panthers Knock out Nogales

Temple City scored 11 field goals in the first quarter and none in the fourth but still held on to beat West Val-ley 71-64 Wednesday night in the first round of the CIF Division 3AA playoffs.

Eric Olivas scored 15 points in the the first quarter as the Rams jumped out to a 28-12 lead. The Rams ex-tended it to 47-24 at the half with a 19 point second quar-ter. Andrew Pau scored four points, and Goren Lee and Brandon Lee each knocked down threes.

West Valley warmed up in the third with a 26 point quarter but the Rams still led by 15 after three. Then things got a little tense.

West Valley outscored TC

11-2 to open the fourth to cut the lead to six. The Rams, who were so hot early sud-denly couldn’t find the bas-ket. They missed all of their field goal attempts in the fourth quarter and managed just six free throws. West Valley however got close but couldn’t get over the hump as the Rams held on.

Olivas led all scorers and finished with 25. Awujo had 14 and Goren Lee tossed in eight. For West Valley Nico Vega had 23, Oscar Quezada had 17 and Robert Edwards scored 15.

After the 28 point first quarter, Temple City man-aged just 24 in the second half.

Rams Start Fast, Hang On 71-64

“I resigned last Monday,” said Brandon Rohrer about his coaching decision and pending departure from La Puente High School.

Unable to comment on his next stop, Rohrer shared a few thoughts on his time leading the Warriors foot-ball program which in-cluded an overall record of 33-11.

“La Puente has been great

to me. I’ll forever be in-debted to LPHS for the op-portunity to be their football coach,” said Rohrer.

“I have enjoyed com-peting in the area against some great men (coaches). Somebody is going to be very lucky to coach these young men.”

La Puente returns 22 players from its roster of 47 next fall.

If you are the high-est bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien be-ing auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investi-gate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contact-ing the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, ei-ther of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROP-

ERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made avail-able to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 714-573-1965 for infor-mation regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this Internet Web site http://www.qualityloan.com , using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-10-409580-CT . Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that oc-cur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be re-flected in the telephone informa-tion or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postpone-ment information is to attend the scheduled sale. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the property address or other common desig-nation, if any, shown herein. If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the success-ful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee, and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. If the sale is set aside for any reason, the Purchaser at the sale shall be en-titled only to a return of the de-posit paid. The Purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Mortgagor, the Mortgagee, or the Mortgagee’s Attorney.

Report. This report provides evidence that the institution has made significant progress towards fulfilling ACCJC/WASC’s recommendations, as well as its own self-identified goals.

The areas in which Citrus College received approval include the establishment of an Institutional Effectiveness Committee that assesses the college’s integrated planning model and its effect on the budget process; the comple-tion and implementation of student learning outcomes and assessment for all courses offered; the development and use of an Integrated Plan-ning Manual that promotes a culture of evidence and data-driven decision making; a budget that provides de-tailed analyses, describes the college’s funds and sources of revenue, and outlines param-eters for decision-making; and an assessment of program initiatives to ensure effective budget practices.

“Citrus College’s positive letter from the accrediting commission is further evi-dence of its effectiveness as a ‘college of completion,’ stated Mrs. Susan M. Keith, presi-dent of the Citrus Community College Board of Trustees. “The college community’s diligence in every phase of the accreditation process is a reflection of its commitment to student success.”

The Midterm Report letter and other accreditation docu-ments can be accessed from the “Accreditation” button lo-cated on the home page of the Citrus College website, www.citruscollege.edu. Please click “Midterm Report 2012,” then “Midterm Response Let-ter from ACCJC” located on the left side of the webpage.

To make the City more walkable, safe and acces-sible to all residents, the El Monte City Council recently authorized a city-wide con-struction project to upgrade numerous ADA handicap accessible ramps and side-walks that have fallen into disrepair.

Currently there are numer-ous locations throughout the City with uplifted and damaged sidewalks, curbs, and gutter sections and non-compliant ADA pedestrian access ramps. Selected in-tersections will be upgraded with new ADA-compliant pedestrian curb ramps, and staff is estimating the project may include up to 186 new ADA ramps. Many locations were identified by resident feedback.

The City Council has approved this sidewalk improvement project with no impact on the City’s General Fund, as funding for the ramp and sidewalk im-provements will be provided entirely from Community Development Block Grant funds previously approved

by the City Council. Construction started im-

mediately, with completion anticipated by March 2013.
