    By Michele EarleEl Monte, CA Dressed in a pink tutu with beauti-ful, glittery wings, the Tooth Fairy paid a special visit to La Primaria Elementary School in the Mountain View School District to share the impor-tance healthy teeth with the students. The Tooth Fairy was joined by Dr. Justin A. Shuffer, a pediatric dentist, to

    teach the students the proper way to brush, floss and eat to ensure good dental health. It is so important to keep your teeth healthy! said the

    Tooth Fairy. Some of the ways to do that is to brush your teeth in the morning and at night, floss regularly and eat and drink healthy foods. The students eagerly shared some healthy snacks and drinks they could eat that would be good for their teeth such as milk, water, yogurt, cheese and fruit. Brushing your teeth and eating right also keeps the sugar bugs away, said the Tooth Fairy. Sugar bugs develop into cavities and you want to try to avoid those as much as you can. The Tooth Fairy then led the students in a chant of No Sugar Bugs! No Sugar Bugs!She and Dr. Shuffer explained what happens at the dentist of-

    fice and reassured the students that is not a scary place. Dentists are very nice men or women who want to make sure you have healthy teeth, said the Tooth Fairy. The dental office is a fun place with toys, x-rays and lots of cool tools for examin-ing your teeth and mouth. Dr. Shuffer answered ques-tions and used a model of a

    mouth to show the students the proper brushing technique. Students took turns brushing the teeth on the model. Your teeth are very

    important, said Dr. Shuffer. Kids usually lose their first tooth at 5 or 6 years of age and its usually one of the bottom front teeth that comes out first. La Primaria principal, Anamarie Sanchez thanked Dr. Shuffer and the Tooth Fairy for sharing such great information regarding dental care.

    Adult School Encourages Learning at Any Age

    By Anne Donofrio-HolterEl Monte, CA -- The El Monte-Rosemead Adult School, which serves South El Monte, encourages everyone, no matter what their age, to never stop learning. For older adults, the school offers a va-riety of programs to not only satisfy the quest for knowl-edge but to provide much needed social activity.

    We have classes tailored to older adults in a wide area of subjects that range from exercise and fitness to arts and crafts, said principal Robin Torres. These classes are also a social outlet for many of our students. If they did not have class, many would

    stay secluded in their resi-dence, not having social inter-action for days at a time.

    Due to the challenges of to-days economy, the school has been forced to begin charging registration fees, but accord-ing to Torres, we are still considerably less expensive than other adult schools in the area. And although several classes have had to be elimi-nated, there is still a variety to choose from.

    Most area adult schools have eliminated their older adult programs this year expecting local communities to pick up this much needed service for older adults, said Torres. While we have had

    to make cuts, we still feel as if we are offering a variety of classes that allow older adults to continue to exercise their mind and body.

    For additional information on courses offered, registra-tion, fees and class locations, go to www.emras.edu or call 626-258-4994.

    In this time of economic challenge, the El Monte-Rosemead Adult School will continue to do the best we can to meet the needs of our com-munity, added Torres.

    State of the KidsBy Sean TellesPasadena, Ca - 2nd Annual "State of the Kids" panel dis-cussion at Flintridge Center bought together public and private groups working with children to share struggles, achievements, and opportuni-ties. Dr. Eric Walsh gave the most important take away for the day: Public health is a community aspect.

    In his welcoming ad-dress, dressed in blue jeans and tie, Mayor Bill Bo-gaard set the tone for the afternoon informational session: business on top and ready for tough work on the bottom. The fea-tured panelists included a varied mix of speakers from the public and private sector, including Jon R. Gundry the Superintendent of Schools for PUSD, Dr. Eric Walsh the Director of Pasadena Public Health, Mercy Santoro the Director of Human Services & Rec-reation Department, Cliff Marcussen the CEO & Executive Director of OP-TIONS/CCIS, and Pastor Jean Burch of Community Bible Church. The idea of the event is to bring together all the people who work with children in Pasadena and surrounding areas and share how kids are doing in this current climate. This includes the latest demographic trends, school and health statistics, and what has changed since last year's report. Topics included a review of Pasadenas survey on itself, successes such as the John Muir farm on its High School

    Campus, and the overarch-ing concern that demands to help children are increasing as funding through state and federal budgets, and private donations are decreasing. Cliff Marcussen commented the situation is the worst he has seen in his career. Pasade-

    na deserves credit for openly sharing information, hold-ing itself accountable, and actively pursuing solutions. In a moment of inspiration and hope, Pastor Jean Burch shared a local students recent success. This honor student attended a local program as a child, later volunteered through his church at that

    same program, and continues to give back to his local com-munity through working with local children Kevin Sey-mour is now playing football for USC as #23. The Flintridge Center is a community-based non-profit that works to develop practi-

    cal and collaborative solutions to reduce community violence and provides learning and enrichment opportunities that support the positive develop-ment of children and youth among other great activities and opportunities. For more information go to http://www.flintridge.org

    NICHOLS' WORTH

    By Ken RauschExecutive DirectorThis months edition of Nichols Worth is a reprint of a rebuttal by the Cham-ber of Commerce to an article in the September 13, 2012 edition of the San Ga-briel Valley Tribune.

    Dirty, Evil, Complicit, Stu-pid El Monte -- We do not think so.

    These are just a sample of adjectives used to describe El Monte in last weeks article by Frank Girardot. True, the article was in response to El Montes handling of the 14 terminated lifeguards, but re-ally, is this necessary?

    definition of these words, conscious and deliberate wrongdoing and a lack of intelligence would come to mind. But really, is this necessary? It is time to move forward and stop addressing El Monte in the past tense with comparisons and ex-amples of events from over 50 years ago. While every city has faced challenging issues and unfortunate situations over the years, one must have a positive vision for the future and not continue to dwell on the past.

    Just consider a few of the following facts when looking at El Monte today:

    1. El Monte just hosted a Back-to-School Resource Fair that provided close to 1000 kids with FREE school supplies and haircuts entirely donated by the community.

    2. El Monte just hosted a Job Fair offering job opportu-nities to over 800 applicants

    from over 40 companies.3. Our Mayor Pro Tem,

    Juventino J Gomez, was installed as President of the Independent Cities Associa-tion, representing 48 cities and over 7 million residents.

    4. Groundbreaking will be-gin in the next few months on 41 housing units for American veterans, including on-site support services.

    5. A 20-unit senior hous-ing project breaks ground in October.

    6. A 62-unit affordable housing development is scheduled that will be the largest in El Monte in over 25 years.

    7. Vision El Monte, El Montes updated General Plan, was rated best by the Los Angeles Chapter of the American Planning Associa-tion.

    8. There are projections of a decreasing crime rate in 2012 compared to 2009.

    9. El Monte is the home of the largest Toyota dealership in the world, Longo Toyota/Scion/Lexus.

    10. El Monte is proud to have five-time Olympian, Kim Rhode, as an El Monte native.

    11. From the Chamber of Commerce perspective, we have gained over 72 new members since February 2012.

    These are only a few examples of what El Monte is all about today. A dirty, evil, complicit and stupid El Monte? We do not think so. Sunday patrol on El Monte Mall provided by DEMBA

    "Your recycling fee at work" is the best way to describe this fundraiser at San Gabriel High School. The Environmental Club, the Key Club, and the National Honor Society braved 100 plus temperatures to participate. According to the Califor-nia department of Toxic Substance control, E-waste refers to any unwanted electronic device or Cathode Ray Tube and is classified as universal waste and frequently contains hazardous materials, predominantly lead and mercury.

    Relaying an Experience onRelay for Life

    By Annie ChenSan Gabriel, CA -- The Relay for Life event happen-ing in San Gabriel was basi-cally an event to honor cancer survivors and to raise money to further aid the research for a cure to cancer. As people walked around booths spon-sored by companies such as the Alhambra Medical Center, certain groups of people that have been sponsored would take turns walking or run-ning around the track to raise money.

    I originally went in as a volunteer because I was called in by a friend of mine who worked on the committee. Even though it was happen-ing in my high school, I had no idea about the event. The structure of the event seemed pretty planned out - there were jumpers, activities, food trucks, speakers from the community, music, activities, facepainting, etc. The live music was one of the best parts, in my opinion, since there was a band on stage until about 1PM.

    However, the only thing it lacked was people. It would have been such a great com-munity & family event, but

    the only problem was that nobody knew about it. This event had a lot of potential, especially since it took place on the campus of Gabrielino High School, a place where students, family, and staff show great school pride by supporting school sponsored events. However, as I later found out from talking to the PTSA president, Mary Winchell, she had never even heard about this going on. There was no word in the community, were no attempts at spreading around the mes-sage on social media, and even I got word about it at the last minute - which was such a bummer because it was such a great event. I've volunteered a lot at carnivals and events

    City Happenings . I just got the new San Gabriel Grapevine community news-letter and I have to admit its pretty neat. Its a new format, with a glossy look and clear quality graphics. But the presentation doesnt make up the contents so my critique is on the important stuff that matter. The city listed the greatest accomplishments of the past 12 months and came up with four notable items: 1) improved communica-tions, 2) job preservation, 3) technology improvements and 4) Mission playhouse improvements. These are all notable achievements but are these the best the city has to offer? Of course there was no mention of my favorite subject, potholes, but I guess repairing our streets would not only be a notable achieve-ment but an extraordinary accomplishment. Im not sure what the cost of the four notable achievements was but obviously it fit well into the limited SG City budget. The Grapevine put a lot of emphasis into 2013 projects and heres what we have to look forward to in the coming year. On the list is a $2 mil-lion pavement improvement but lets not hold our breath on this one. New long term facilities like a new police building and new city mainte-nance building. Doesnt make sense to me to cut our police benefits and have so many in-frastructure problems but then propose a multi-million dollar project for new city facilities. Develop new economic op-portunities for the city includ-ing 1) a new business reten-

    tion program, 2) aid retail and industrial expansion, 3) new hotels, and 4) Valley Boule-vard expansion. In short, lets fix whats broken with our business plan but then add more business, traffic, people and overall congestion to our already overpopulated city. Four new hotels are being proposed including the Hyatt House and Crowne Plaza Ho-tel, and new mixed use devel-opment is bound to take place along Las Tunas. I grew up in San Gabriel back in the 60s and it was a quaint place to live and grown up. It wasnt a perfect city but it certainly wasnt the mish-mash it is today. Sometime in the late 70s and early 80s the city direction changed and long-time residents started selling and moving to a quieter and more resident friendly town. It doesnt look like well go back to those times but I wish city council would stop development all together and focus on fixing whats wrong with the city rather than add-ing to its problems Pothole Report 2012-06 This report isnt about a city street but about the San Gabriel Mission parking lot where there are some major cracks and pot-holes. If a street had the same condition, they would have to close it due to the inability to drive. I know the parking lot is on private property but as residents you should be aware of the condition of our city centerpiece in case you need to walk on it. Be careful, one false step and say goodbye to an ankle or a knee. Rating (1) fix it before someone gets hurt.

    before, such as at the arbore-tum and Kidspace museum events, the LA marathon, and at other local charity events. None of the events I have volunteered at around the San Gabriel area have had as much appeal - especially to teens and kids - as this one did. There was something for everyone. I think all of the people who did come took away something from it. Per-sonally, I took this opportu-nity to network with members from around the community such as community leader Roy Rosell,Council member John Harrington, the cancer survivors themselves, and lo-cal restaurant owners, . It was a great chance to get together and meet people from all over the city that I wouldn't have had a chance to meet other-wise. Everyone I met was also

    very passionate about helping the community, which drew us all together to the event.

    I left the event around 3pm, but it lasted until about 9am the next day. Around 6pm, there was a luminara event where candles were put into hand-decorated paper bags, lit, and put all around the vicinity to signify the strength of the continual fight. Al-though I didn't stay for this event, I did, however, drive past the school at around 2am and personally saw the lit candles scattered all across the field.

    Overall, it was a very gratifying experience. I would love to volunteer at this event the next year - hopefully, this time, with more company.

    Maxson School Hosts Family PicnicBy Michele EarleEl Monte, CA It was all about family at Maxson Elementary Schools 1st Annual Family Picnic held at the school earlier this month. The schools beautiful grassy field was adorned with families and staff members who brought their blankets and picnic dinner to share casual time together. Music played in the background providing a fun mood for all. Delicious tacos were available for purchase from Batres Tacos who generously donated 50% of the proceeds to the Maxson ASB (Associated Student Body) fund. Raffle prizes, kindly donated by community businesses, provided an extra amount of fun. Thanks to the generosity of Liberty Tax Service, La Quebrada Mexican Restaurant, and Floren-tinos Italian and Mexican Restaurant, several families went home with prizes. Our picnic was a wonderful way to start the 2012-2013 school year with our Maxson fam-ily, said Dr. Aileen La Corte, Maxson principal. It was great to see everyone come together for the event and it will be a great memory for our staff, students and families to cherish, she added.

    Im not talking about plea-sure boating or day sailing, Im talking about working for a living, Im talking about sharking!---QuintIf you needed a reason to know why we love football, then you needed to see the Ravens and Patriots on Sun-day night. Wow!Not a big fan of the replace-ment officials, but do you get the feeling, sometimes, that New England HC Bill Belich-ick operates from a deep sense of entitlement. The official he attempted to grab after the game Sunday night deserves a lot of credit. If he had turned and decked the coach, I prob-ably would have cheered.The bad butt routine only goes so far.I have bad memories of El Monte hosting Bell Gardens in Week FiveThis is a dif-ferent Lions team.Note to Grounds Crew at EM: Double check the lights in the scoreboard; youre going to need them all Friday night.Remember the name Lee Jones.I dig the CardinalsIve always been a Terry Metcalfe fan.This isnt as crazy as it readsbut Arcadia is in the playoff hunt. The Pacific Ocean is less chaotic than the Pacific League this season.Thumbs up to La Puente quar-terback Ivan Vasquez.Joe T.: Could Monrovia lose to San Marino?Tim Peterson: Yeah, they could.Really not much of a fantasy football fanespecially after I fail to update my roster. I still Aaron Hernandez as my starting tight end, but I know one guy who still lists Matt Leinart as his starting quarter-back.What channel was the USC game on Saturday? It was easier to find a matching pair of socks out of the sock bas-ket this weekend than to find the Trojan game.Dont you hate it when family comes to town and all they want to do is talk when you are trying to watch the game?Why couldnt they come during the basketball season?

    Rosemead trenchman Daniel Camarena

    Rosemead D Shuts Down SG

    By Tim PetersonRosemead, CA Rosemeads defense hit, smacked, bruised and eventually beat up San Gabriel 16-6 Friday night in a crosstown rivalry at Marinelli Stadium.The Panthers forced San Gabriel into six turnovers, including four interceptions of Matador quarterback Mar-qus Valenzuela. San Gabriel turned the ball over on four of its six possessions in the first half one of which the Panthers turned directly into a score.The Matadors marched down to the Rosemead 25 on its first possession when Valenzuela hit Isai Fernandez on a short out. Fernandez was smacked and the ball squirted loose. Daniel Camarena scooped it up and rumbled 73 yards the other way for the score. Instead of the Mats drawing first blood it was suddenly 6-0 Rosemead.I thought we were on our heels there and that was abso-lutely a momentum changer, said Rosemead coach Marc Paramo. We needed to capi-talize on those turnovers.That was the only time the Panthers capitalized in the first half as San Gabriel continued to turn the ball over. The Matadors only op-portunity to score came late in the half but a 37 yard field goal that was blocked by the Panthers.Stephen Cansino booted a

    20 yard field goal in the third quarter to give Rosemead a 9-0 lead. Meanwhile San Gabriel went interception, fumble on its first two series.Alec Zavla ran over a defend-er at the two yard line on his way to a 15 yard touchdown

    with just 3:30 left in the con-test to seal it for Rosemead.San Gabriel finally got on the board on the ensuing series on a 34 yard Valenzuela pass to Gabriel Larios in the far right corner of the endzone. The Martadors went for two and missed to account for the 16-6 final.The game was riddled with flags on both sides. A by-stander said there were over 60 flags thrown on the night.

    The Peterson PrincipleByTim PetersonAssociate Editor

    Haven't we seen this before? The Raiders win a big early season game over a possible contender and all the Black and Silver honks come crawling out of the woodwork proclaiming that they are ready to make a Super Bowl run. Can we just get back to reality and look at this for what it is? The Raiders are 1-2 and they just beat the Steelers who are...oh 1-2 also. They haven't had a win-ning season since 2002 and they haven't won a Super Bowl since 1984 (1983 season). They have a first year coach this season and haven't had a coach stay longer than three years since Jon Gruden (1998-2001). Every-body thought the Raiders would get better after Al Davis passed away but it's the same old thing. The administration appears to be as disorganized as ever. Hue Jackson led the team to an 8-8 record and a second place tie in the AFC West last year and was promptly fired for his efforts and replaced by Dennis Allen who has no previous head coaching

    experience. Did you know Allen is the seventh Raider head coach in the last 11 years? Commitment to excellence? More like commitment to in-eptitude. Anyway with that being said I wish all the best and an MVP type year to Darren Mc-Fadden. As the owner of the LA Express I need that to happen.Gladstone has clearly established itself as the best team in the Montview and possibly one of the top five teams in the North-west Division. The Gladiators are 4-0 after blasting Montview League contender La Puente 37-7 Friday night and have scored 140 points in their last three games. They're getting big production out of quarterback Kevin Amezquita, (483 yards passing, 506 rushing), Aaron Sanchez (315 yards rushing, six touchdowns) and Christian Arteaga (189 yards receiving, two touchdowns.) Gladstone's still faces tough tests against Duarte and Azusa but if the Glads get past those two they could run the table. Great news to hear that La Pu-ente quarterback Ivan Vasquez is back home after being taken to the hospital from a tackle Friday night. Vasquez laid motionless on the field for several minutes be-fore being carted off. The game

    Thursday Night

    Sierra Vista vs. Gladstone (at Citrus College)The Gladiators are riding high and hitting hard, but if there is an opportunity for them to get caught off guard it is against the Dons. Take SV in the upset.Prediction: Sierra Vista 22 Gladstone 21

    Friday Night

    Bell Gardens at El MonteThe Lions have traditionally struggled against the Lancers. They will still struggle, but thats not to say they wont win. Go with the home team and a combined 75 points between both schools.Prediction: El Monte 49 Bell Gardens 42

    Arcadia at BurbankWed like the Apaches more if they were at home, but would still go with the Bank.

    was called with just under ten minutes left in the fourth quarter. Thoughts and prayers go out to Ivan from the Mid Valley staff. Speaking of running the table, San Marino won't. The Titans, (4-0), should win their next four but they'll lose to Monrovia in their ninth game and they could get bit by South Pas the last week of regulation if they aren't careful. San Marino is playing good football. I mean, heck the Titans have outscored their last two opponents 108-0. But I do have a suggestion. How about getting some rosters and stats up on Max Preps so we can give these guys a little more ink. Monrovia will be just fine. With guys like Anthony Craft, Mason Bryant, Brett Walsh,etc. They won't have a problem. But the Wildcats do need to be careful thinking they can turn it on at any moment. South Hills would be better served in the Southeast Division. Can we something to rest right now. Rosemead beat San Gabriel Friday night. It wasn't the offi-cials, it wasn't an off night by the quarterback, it wasn't the color of the uniforms or the weather. It was Rosemead playing tough defense and winning the game. Yes, the Matadors had more total yards than the Panthers but Rose-mead made the defensive stops when it had to, especially in the second half.

    Niko Carravantes and Albert Santos. Alexis Baron scored on a touchdown throw from quarterback Michael Moran. However, the Nobles scored three times in the fourth to put the game away.

    Sierra Vista 43, Workman 20Lee Jones rushed for nearly 300 yards and scored three touchdowns as the Dons opened play in the Montview with a won over the Lobos Friday night at Sierra Vista High.The Lobos were down 21-7 at halftime but the Dons put the

    game away in the third on a safety and a touchdown on a kick return, making the lead 30-7.Despite the loss Justin Sned-den led the Lobos with 186 yards rushing and scored a touchdown and threw a 30-yard halfback option for another score.
