Los Angeles Federal Credit Union (LAFCU) collected 468 toys for its annual "Toys for Tots" toy drive aimed at spreading holiday cheer to local, needy children. For nearly 20 years, LAFCU has partnered with the U.S. Marines Corps Reserves Toys for Tots Program in asking employees and members to donate new, unwrapped toys to one of its six branches during the months of November and December.

Despite the slow economy, LAFCU members and em-ployees generously donated

everything from dolls to bikes to the latest hi-tech gadgets. Toys were also pur-chased with monies donated

to our charity, Los Angeles Charitable Association, Inc. Toys for Tots is sponsored by The Marine Toys for Tots

Foundation, an IRS recog-nized 501(c)(3) not-for-profit public charity that serves as the fundraising and support

arm for the program. Since its inception in 1947, the Toys for Tots Program has distributed more than 452 million toys to more than 209 million needy children. In addition to individual donations from the American public, the

Toys for Tots program relies on support from business and corporate sponsors, like LAFCU.

Jose Pulido

is begin-ning his 3rd year as City Manager. In his tenure he has brought Temple City into the 21st century. He has served

in Montebello for several years and also in San Fer-nando.

Mr. Pulido spoke of the many changes to our diver-secommunity including in-frastructure improvements. The main projects the city is currently undertaking is the 16-month Rosemead Bou-levard Enhancement project with a groundbreakingdate set for January 24. After 3 years of planning and secur-ing grants the project is finally going to commence.

Mr. Pulido reminded us that he is not interested in the status quo or maintain-ing. He is a builder with an Economic Development background.Also, the Coun-cil decided on December 27 to adopt plan 3 for the Las Tunas Beautification Project. The main thing will be a “traffic diet” for several blocks at the center of town. It always amazes me how rumors get started. Some-one called me Tuesday and said “did you hear they are making Las Tunas 2 lanes-from Muscatel to Baldwin?” Monica Tyre joined Steve in attendance Tuesday. Steve also shared that he saw Hal from our old meeting place Sir George’s in Las Vegas. The owners of the center tripled his rent and it has been sitting empty ever since. Dan Arrighi was rec-ognized for the story in the

recent Temple City Connect magazine as an immigrant making good in Temple City. Dan and his family has been tireless workers and benefactors. He lost the big coin toss but Temple City became the winner.

Mike Lepore and Frank Deckon reluctantly paid for being born. It was reported that John Chandler has been

cancer free, but has fluid on the brain. Mike Miller and Jerry Jambazian are in the process of forming a new

club at Arcadia Methodist Hospital. Mike is finally looking good after start-ing dialysis and Jerry is recovering from a fractured hip. We were all saddened to hear that Sister Barbara Mulvehill from Maryvale Orphanage passed away on December 12 from a heart attack while at a Chapel Service. We came to know

Sister Barbara through John Chan-dler. I know she loved us because each week when I

sent her the bulletin she would always write back. She is now safely with her Lord and Saviour.

TEMPLE CITY KIWANIS CLUBby Jerry Jambazian

On December 7, 2012, three Temple City High School Advanced Computer Aided Design student teams successfully placed 7th, 12th, and 15th out of 20 teams in the final competition of Jet Propulsion Laboratory’s 15th Annual Invention Challenge.

The Invention Challenge is a NASA-sponsored event hosted by JPL. The com-petition was open to local middle and high school students. This year’s theme is “Streaming Tissue Toss”.

Student’s created a device that propels a provided roll of tissue paper such that the tissue unravels in mid-air and creates a long unbroken stream.

“During the competition, one of our teams was able to throw the roll of toilet paper the full distance; unfortu-nately the wind caught the end of the tissue and blew it back toward the start line,” commented Dave Dickie, TCHS Career and Technol-ogy Instructor and Team Ad-

visor. “Overall this was a great experi-ence for our students and one which they thoroughly enjoyed. I’d also like to thank the County’s Re-gional Occupational Program for helping to fund this competi-tion and empower TCHS students!”

Being homebound, (in my case, recovering

from a double oral surgery, and then getting the flu), has given me much time to think of a myrid of things in my life. The main thought was wondering about what was so important that I could not take the time to get a flu shot, instead of put-ting it off! Please, if you have not yet gone for your flu shot, hurry, hurry, hurry and get one!

Hugo Manuel’s Chad Val-ley isn’t quite the one-man show anymore with his debut LP. He has a number of guests contributing in-cluding romantic doom pop enthusiast, Twin Shadow. For what it is, “Young Hunger” is a silky smooth, tropical paradise of seduc-tive beats that is carried by the warm vocals Manuel belts out. Far from perfect or even wildly innovative, Chad Valley’s takes cues and notes from previous generations to craft tightly produced material that is ut-terly danceable and blissful. “Young Hunger” benefits from its supporting players to give variety to the album since Manuel sounds exact-ly the same on each track. His real talent is the way he mixes his songs. They are considerably accessible which allows the listener to become instantly enthralled with. What evolves is the perfect balance of pop and electronic. Ultimately, Manuel has a keen sense of taking chances when you least expect it. “Young Hunger” won’t rock the boat and certainly isn’t go-ing to blow you away, but the likability factor is huge and the fun, sweet vocals, and romanticism wrapped tightly around the record should delight fans and curious listeners.

With ten full length tracks and an interlude, the album clocks in over 42 minutes. It’s a good duration given the genre and especially since things start to sound too alike after awhile. The real treat is “Fathering/Mothering,” which fea-tures the vocals of Anne Lise Frøkedal. It’s a slow, methodical, and tranquil song that will subdue any negative thoughts you may have. That’s why Hugo Manuel is so damn good at what he does. His music is unbelievably soothing and lovely. While his lyr-ics aren’t anything to go bonkers over, they are still enjoyable and come across

The Twin Cities na-tives Night Moves have a smooth take off on their first endeavor, “Colored Emotions,” but their flight has some turbulence along the way. Luckily, there’s no crash landing and come out of that rough patch in one piece. With the combination of 70s glam rock and pop-country flair of late 80s/early 90s acts to alternative rock of the early 2000s, Night Moves occupies a lot of style with a decent amount of sub-stance to boot. At only ten songs, three of which are less than two minutes long, the album demands to be listened in its full entirety. Luckily, it’s a breezy and mostly consistent voyage from beginning to end. There are a lot of transi-tions that are powerful and moving, but the sum of the album is greater than its parts. Despite that, there’s a lot of fun to be had on the debut record. Not only does Night Moves connect to their generation, but also ef-fortlessly evoke the sounds of previous one too.

A bit of country, a bit of soul, and a lot of soft rock, Night Moves feel like their from another era and I am perfectly content with that. You can’t really pinpoint the exact sound of the band since they have discern-able influences that are all over the board. In today’s music Night Moves is a mix between glam-psychedelic rockers MGMT and free-wheelin’ folk-rock aficio-nados, My Morning Jacket. The Eagles and Fleetwood Mac would fit the bill as the band’s earlier influ-ences. Listening to “Col-ored Emotions” doesn’t require much attention, but if you do attentively take note, you’re actually in for quite a refreshing sound for today’s era. If you take it at face value, you may appreciate the sounds of the past three decades, but if you rather just listen to a band from those years, you

MY 10 FAVORITE ALBUMS OF 2012Another year, another top 10 list. They’re never easy to compile. With a plethora of favorite

songs this year, it was very difficult to come up with my personal favorites. Quite a few records fell short of the eclectic list, but in the end the following ten bands released indelible, powerful, and thrilling albums.

10. The XX – “Coexist”

9. The Rest – “Seesaw”

8. Japandroids – “Celebration Rock”

7. The Gaslight Anthem – “Handwritten”

6. Twin Shadow – “Confess”

5. LORD HURON – “LONESOME DREAMS” - The aptly titled Lord Huron’s debut album really strikes a cord with the American people. In the age we live in, lonesome dreams are ever so appar-ent. “Lonesome Dreams” is a vast, ambitious, poignant piece of music. It echoes along the borders of Fleet Foxes with its harmo-nies, but they shouldn’t be restrained to just sheer comparisons. While Lord Huron may not be completely treading new ground, they’re at least carving their own path. It seems we’re all figuring how to do so and “Lonesome Dreams” may just be the soundtrack that leads you down it. There is this alluring attribute, a wistful sound that magically spans over the course of the 10-track album. The dreariness of long days and sleepless nights are alleviated thor-ough this tranquil resonance. It’s the epitome of a true American album and while the revelations exposed may not be all that new, it doesn’t mean they are any less true. The themes of immortality, impending doom, and helplessness blues can be discovered here, but also the whimsical cheerfulness in songs such as “Time To Run.” The record, an even keel of optimism and perennial caution, remains embedded in the blood that pumps out the veins of this

My 2013 trip around the world begins at Union

Station in Los Angeles, CA.Ferdinand Magellan, the

Portuguese explorer working for Spain, sailed west in 1519 to begin the first expedition to sail around the world. Sir Francis Drake sailed west in 1577 to begin the second. Many people point out that while Drake completed his voyage, Magellan did not. Ferdinand Magellan died on the island of Cebu in the Phillipines in 1522. Only 18 men out of Magellan's 237 survived the trip on board the ship Victoria and returned to Spain. Cebu is not one of my stops so I'm not worried!

I'm going east. The first

ship that I am taking on this journey is the Pacific Princess which is sailing out of Ft. Lauderdale, Florida on Jan. 27, 2013. Since I don't fly, I'm going to get there by train. In fact I will need to take three different AMTRAK trains to get to Ft. Lauderdale.

The first train is AM-TRAK's Sunset Limited. AM-TRAK's Sunset Limited trav-els from Los Angeles, CA to New Orleans, LA (a distance of 1,995 rail miles). It is one of four long distance trains out of Los Angeles. The other three are the Texas Eagle to Chicago (via San Antonio), the Coast Starlight to Seattle and the Southwest Chief to Chicago. I've been on the

other three. The Texas Eagle in 2009, The Coast Starlight in 2010 and the Southwest Chief in 2011 and 2012. If I had to choose a favorite it would be the Coast Starlight. In 2009 AMTRAK got me to Chicago but the Texas Eagle did not. In Marshall, Texas we had to board motor coaches to St. Louis, MO to board another train because the tracks were washed out up ahead. Instead of arriving at 2:00 p.m. we got into Chicago at midnight. Marshall, Texas is not one of my stops this time so I'm not worried!

If all goes well I'll be spending two nights in New Orleans.

With the NFL play-offs in full swing,

the college football season just concluded, the Clippers playing well, and the base-ball season on the horizon is there a more tired, old, bor-ing story than the Lakers?

Yet when you tune into 710 ESPN radio it’s all Lak-ers all the time. Yes it's the Lakers flagship station but it's also owned by EPSN so at some point, you would think you would get some info on the NFL, or college football or maybe some col-lege hoops.

Do we really care what Dwight Howard had for breakfast or if Pau Gasol's feelings are hurt? I don't want to hear any more about the latest rant from Metta World Peace. In the midst of the college bowl season, one day they spent ten minutes talking about the shooting habits of Jodie Meeks. It's the sad state of sports talk radio today.

Of course we don't have much choice. I turned on 570 AM on Friday and Petros and Money were talking about “The Bachelor.” True story.

I hate to beat a dead horse but a game time in high school basketball is a horse worth beating. I was all set to check out Pasadena Friday night until I checked the schedule and discovered the game was starting at 5:00 pm. I, along with probably 90 percent of other fans that includes parents, can't make it at 5:00. Why is the best team in the area playing at 5:00 on a Friday night? How about a 7:00 start and a full house? How about high school basketball being fan friendly for once? I know the admin doesn't want to be out too late on a Friday night but you're killing area basketball.

I took a trip to Muir instead for chance to check out the Mustangs. They have a pretty solid squad. Taturs Maberry, Evan Bynum and Jelani Mitchell were worth the trip down to “Mustang Ranch” as the PA announcer dubbed the Muir High School gym. The Mustangs jumped out early and then had to hold on as Burbank

rallied late to make it inter-esting.

Muir will host Pasadena this Friday night in what is always a great inter-city rivalry. And the best thing is, as of right now, tip-off is at 7:00 pm. Stay tuned.

I never thought naming Jake Payton, who scored 22 touchdowns and rushed for over 1600 yards, Player of the Year in the Mid-Valley Division, would create such a stir. The Ge Vontray Ain-sworth contingent has quick-ly jumped in to support the Monrovia RB/LB. I appreci-ate that they are honking for their guy and I understand it. We went with Payton for the reasons we stated. All I can say is we don't pick two guys for Player of the Year – just one. We don't pick two all Mid-Valley teams and an honorable mention - just one team. Somebody gets left out. It happens every year. We will release our all Mid-Valley team this week and I'm sure Ainsworth's name will appear there somewhere. He's a great player but so is Payton. Again, we only pick one POY.

Jude Oliva will land somewhere this year. I don't know where yet but it will be somewhere. Oliva isn't ready to stop coaching or even take a year off for that matter. There are several opportuni-ties out there and once he sees the right fit he'll take it.

Eric Scott may not be the right coach for Pasadena according to the administra-tion. Okay, but who is?The Bulldogs are coming off of a 1-9 season, Brandon Cox is gone and there's not a bright future on the horizon. Scott may have some baggage but he has coached at the D1 level and knows the game. With the Blair program on the verge of collapse, Muir could be the only relevant football program in Rose City.

Who's the next HC at San Gabriel? Gladstone? Any-body?

That's my principle.

Pasadena City College has been awarded a grant of $220,000 over two years from the College Access Foundation of California to support scholarships for local high school students in PCC’s two Upward Bound programs.

This is the fourth two-year grant the Upward Bound programs have received from the College Access Foundation. The grant will provide $184,000 to award two-year scholar-ships of up to $4,000 per year to 30 students starting college for the first time in fall 2013.

Upward Bound Program in 1995, and added the Math/Science Upward Bound Program in 1999. Together, the programs motivate and challenge low-income and first-generation college-bound students to attain the academic skills necessary to complete post-secondary education.

The College Access Foundation of California was created in 2005 to pro-vide grants to community-based programs so that they can award college scholar-ships to students who have significant financial need.

The El Monte City Council unanimously approved im-plementing and funding the El Monte Homeless Preven-tion Program which will help prevent residents of mobile home parks in the city from becoming homeless.

The program, which is in response to an urgent need to stabilize rents in El Monte mobile home parks, will provide eligible residents with funds for short-term rental assistance and hous-ing relocation services in order to prevent them from losing their homes. The program will be conducted in partnership with Volunteers of America and Emergency Resources Association, two community organizations dedicated to fighting home-lessness in El Monte.

“This program will provide residents with the help they need to keep their family homes in El Monte,” said Mayor Pro Tem Norma Macias. “These are hard working people who have been treated unfairly and I’m proud that our City has taken a stand to help them out.”

Eligible costs include rental application fees, secu-rity deposits, utility deposits and payments, moving costs,

housing search and place-ment costs, housing stabil-ity case management and landlord-tenant mediation. In addition, each participant will be required to be entered into the Homeless Manage-ment Information System and actively participate in case management services like financial literacy courses and legal referral services that will help stabilize their current housing situation or transition them toward a more permanent stabilized housing situation.

The program will be fund-ed using the City’s Emer-gency Solutions Grant (ESG) provided by the U.S. Depart-ment of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). These funds are designed to pro-vide housing relocation and/or stabilization services and short- and/or medium-term rental assistance to prevent an individual or family from becoming homeless.

ESG funds must be matched with an equal amount of another funding source. For this program, the match will come from CDBG Administration funds and in-kind services from Volunteers of America.

“This Program is a true

partnership between our City, Volunteers of America and Emergency Resources Association to help these El Monte residents during their time of need,” said Council-woman Victoria Martinez. “These two community organizations are experts in providing quality services that prevent homelessness in our community.”

In November, El Monte residents passed Measure F, the El Monte Fairness for Mobile home Owners Ordinance with 50.2 percent support. This measure re-peals a 1990 voter-approved ordinance that prohibited the city from inquiring into or taking action to regulate mo-bile home park rents being charged in the City.

Poerty Corner

We had two visitors the other day;And thank God they didn't stay.Let me tell you how it all began;

By our pool sat two feathered friends.

When we first saw them it looked so cool;Two little ducks sitting by the swimming pool.

We wondered if they flew in with the wind;And we hoped they hadn't gone for a swim.

These two Mallards were such a pretty pair;

They were looking around while sitting there.I got my camera and quietly I tried to sneak;

After all I just wanted to get a little peek.

But when the camera clicked, it was like a cough;And these two little birds, together they flew off.

They were female and a male, cute as can be;We're glad there were only two and not three.

I know a swimming pool is no place for ducks;And they were not there to bring us good luck.

They'd been swimming in the pool, I'll have to confess;My son had to work hard cleaning up the mess.

TWO VISITORSby Eugene R. Webb

Assemblymember Roger Hernández (D-West Covina) has introduced As-sembly Bill 34, a measure which would establish Nuestra Señora Reina de la Paz (La Paz) as a state his-torical landmark. “Despite California’s labor, civil rights and cultural history, there seems to be a general deficit of state historical-landmarks associated with our rich heritage. La Paz offers an exceptional op-portunity to commemorate and conserve this distinct land,” said Hernández. La Paz covers 187 acres of eastern Kern County, Cali-fornia. The site is signifi-cant as the headquarters of the United Farm Workers of America (UFW) and as the burial site of the late labor and civil rights activ-ist, César E. Chávez. From the site, César E. Chávez met with public officials, labor leaders, community

organizations and industry representatives as a voice for the disenfranchised and the less fortunate.

Today, the site encom-passes César E. Chávez's home, a visitor’s center, the United Farm Workers of America’s legal aid of-fices, three structures and other buildings.

On October 8, 2012, President Obama visited La Paz to declare the site a United States National His-toric Landmark. According to the U.S. National Park Service, it became the 398th unit in the National Park Service system, and the first honoring a Latino since the 1700s. “The federal government has officially recognized the unique historical signifi-cance of La Paz. It is long overdue for California to do the same,” concluded Hernández.

Adult School inter-mediate level ESL

(English Second Language) students are taking weekly quizzes online and submit-ting assignments from home during the weekends using Moodle. Moodle is "an Open Source Course Man-agement System (CMS), also known as a Learn-ing Management System (LMS) or a Virtual Learning Environment (VLE). It has become very popular among educators around the world as a tool for creating online dynamic web sites for their students."

"Teacher Sandra Ander-son participated in an online teaching academy last year in Sacramento where she learned how to use Moodle to manage student enroll-ment in an online learning environment," said principal Robin Torres. "Moodle is used by millions of edu-cators glob-ally."

Ac-cording to Tor-res, An-derson convert-ed the

class textbook into Moodle compatible files and upload-ed them into her Moodle course. Students can log on and take their weekly quiz-zes in the computer lab on Fridays or over the weekend at home. They can com-plete their writing assign-ments at home and post them for the teacher to read before the next class session.

"Many of Ms. Anderson’s students have little experience using computers," said Torres. "The sessions in the lab provide them the opportunity to gain computer literacy skills as well as improve their English. They like this extra lab time to reinforce learning in the classroom and especially like being able to access the class from

home."Teacher James Zhang

has also introduced online learning to his students and uses the recently acquired ESLreadingsmart program in his lab.

"Students in hybrid classes have the advantage

of face-to-face instruction in the classroom where they can interact in a comfortable setting and practice their newly acquired language skills," said Torres. "Online instruction offers additional learning opportunities using technology. Students in both these classes are enjoy-ing the hybrid experience and are excited to expand their English proficiency online."

We honored three outstanding

students from Emperor Elementary School. Ac-companying the students was Emperor teacher Mrs. Shelly Scanlan.

Jenna is 11 years old and in Miss Parrille’s class. She has three brothers and sis-ters and enjoys swimming, traveling, and reading. Jenna said, “The best things about Emperor are the nice teachers, great education, and friendly kids.” The best thing that ever happened was being chosen for this award. Personal goals are to let many people believe in God’s word, build a huge mansion for homeless

people, be baptized, get straight A’s, and have world peace.

Kristen is 11 years old and in Mr. Giangregorio’s class. She has a younger brother and enjoys draw-ing, reading, and playing piano. Kristen said, “The best things about Emperor are the teachers are nice and helpful, the school is safe, and they teach values such as respect and responsibil-ity.” The best thing that ever happened was having my brother develop patience in me. Personal goals are to stop all prejudices, build a shelter for lost or injured animals, become a success-ful person, and be a person

of morals and principals. Sophie is 11 years old

and in Mrs. Scanlan’s class. She has an older sister and enjoys softball, violin, student council, and yu-gi-oh. Sophie said, “The best things about Emperor are the excellent teachers, great

learning environment, and high academics.” The best thing that ever happened was making great friends. Personal goals are to have world peace, build a flying car, get a good job, quality education, and be healthy.

Town Tweets San Gabriel/ Rosemead

by Joe Castillo

Oh the Places You’ll Go…. San Gabriel

ended its 41 year absence from the Rose Parade with a well designed, colorful and extremely artistic entry in the 124th celebration of the New Year. The City of San Gabriel Centennial entry ‘Celebrating Our Jour-ney’ designed by Paradiso Parade Float proudly drove down Colorado Boulevard in front of thousands of spectators watching along the street and millions more on television. Designed by Charles Meier, the entry depicted a scene from the historic wine festivals of the Mission era. Colorful bright flowers provided a beautiful background to a wine cart carrying its abundant load of grapes. Kevin Sawkins, Mayor of San Gabriel, rode proudly atop the float as dancing Folklorico danc-ers paraded alongside. The float was so well-designed that it received the Direc-tor’s Trophy for outstanding artistic merit in design and floral presentation. It was a fitting conclusion for San Gabriel’s first entry since 1972, and the award for Paradiso Parade Floats and especially Charles Meier, puts him on the path to suc-cess. Oh, the places you’ll go Charles, especially when the first Rose Parade float you build is a winner !.... Comedy Consensus ….. Grizzled Chuck, the improv comedy show performed by college students, was a huge success with a full house in attendance at the Padillo Room at the San Gabriel Playhouse. The laughs kept coming for the 50 people in attendance and add in a general admission cost of zero dollars it was an evening to laugh and enjoy. Watch for their next appearance and you’ll end up with a big smile on your face… Savannah Sprin-klers…. Historic Savan-nah Cemetery received an injection of much needed maintenance with the repair and replacement of sprin-kler heads and water valves throughout the cemetery grounds. Over 100 devices were replaced and new water sensors installed to provide the cemetery with

water efficient controls. The repairs are expected to reduce Savannah’s water expense by at least 25% and still ensure well-watered cemetery grounds…… Lunar New Year …. The City of Rosemead will hold its annual New Lunar Year Family Festival on January 26 from 10AM to 8PM. The festival will be held at 8001 Garvey Avenue, the former site of the Auto Auction. The festival will feature will live entertainment, great food, vendor booths and family activities. Come on out and enjoy the New Year!..... Volunteer Needed ….. The City of Rosemead is seeking a few good volunteers. Unpaid admin-istrative Intern positions are available in the Human Re-sources, Public Safety and Public Works department s. The positions are unpaid but you could earn college credits. You will work 15 – 20 hours per week perform-ing a wide variety of tasks. You do have to complete an application and if selected you will need to take an exam and successfully pass a background check. Stay busy and help the city! Con-tact Rosemead City Hall for more information….


FANVIEWBy Joe Torosian

I wasn’t overly impressed with San Francisco quarterback Colin Kaepernick’s running on Saturday night against Green Bay. I thought it was bad de-fense. Twenty years ago defenses figured out ways to keep Randall Cunningham types from doing damage. Somehow the Packers missed the lesson.

I was totally impressed with Kaepernick’s ability to pass the ball. That dude threw strikes, he looked great throwing the ball.

Do you realize that Tim Tebow has one more playoff win as a Denver Broncos quarterback than Peyton Manning does?

USC fires basketball coach Kevin O’Neill...now I wish Pat Haden would continue to heed “The Voice” and “Go the dis-tance”...Fire Lane Kiffin.

Question: When you are fired by USC, do you still get to be part of the USC family?Is Reg-gie Bush still part of the USC family or is he the brother/uncle that dodged the draft and went to Canada? The one you hope, one day, will return for Christmas.

Last Add Peyton Manning: All Monday morning I kept hearing comparisons to his roll right, throw back to the middle of the field, interception being compared to Brett Favre’s pick in the NFC championship game between Minnesota and New Orleans in 2009.

It look pretty similar...except Favre’s secondary didn’t have Rahim Moore playing center-field. Where did Moore learn to play centerfield?....Oh yeah, that’s right.

Speaking of UCLA...good for Jim Mora Jr. in getting a few more bucks out of these guys.

Really Last Add Peyton Manning: Thirty seconds left in regulation, two timeouts, ...and with a Hall of Fame quarterback you take a knee?

Was that John Fox or Chuck Knox coaching the Broncos on Sunday?

“Of the 69 underclassmen last year, 25 went undrafted.”---Former Dallas Cowboys GM Gil Brandt.

Funny how some athletes can be criticized for quoting scripture after a victory, but Ray Lewis (one of the greatest linebackers of all time) skates by when he quotes scripture out of context.

Really Really Last Add Peyton Manning: He’s not my favor-ite quarterback of all time, but should he be held accountable for a receiver letting a ball go between his hands and the ball returned for a touchdown?

Maybe my issue is, I would hate to be compared to Brett Favre.

MVP: El Monte Quarter-back Brandon Martinez

Martinez threw 44 touch-down passes and ran for eight more in 2012, but the numbers don’t do justice in relating his value to the Lions. The season pivoted on him. Without Martinez’s skills, ability, and more importantly leadership we might not know names like Abel Barajas, Ad-olfo Sanchez, and Bryan Lu-evano. For El Monte football, he raises the bar very very high. Exceptional as a person and as an athlete.

Player of the Year: Monro-via Running Back/Linebacker

Ge’vontray AinsworthAinsworth took heat, but

everyone does, when he trans-fered from Covina into Mon-rovia late last school year. On the field he was excellent on both sides of the ball. He rushed for 1,351 yards and 16 touchdowns. Ainsworth scored 19 touchdowns total and registered 15.5 sacks from his outside linebacker spot. Ainsworth, perhaps, saved his best football down the stretch in leading the Wildcats to a third consecutive Mid-Valley Division title and a spot in the California state playoffs.

deeply personal at times. There is a subtle sweet-ness to “Young Hunger.” The first half of the record makes you want to bust a move on the dance floor, but the second half slows you down, puts away the wor-ries for another day. Come to think about it, the record feels like two EPs that make up one LP since how both halves of the album take different directions. The second half of Chad Val-ley’s solid debut asks you to put aside any problems and concerns for a moment because you can always return to them but why not try to just let yourself go for just a bit. I can definitely roll with and in this day and age, who can’t?

For the genre it plays into it, Chad Valley is quite the magician. His song often cast spells on its listeners because your body is present, but mind travels somewhere else, somewhere better. On the title track, Manuel is at his undeniable best. The song is a spectacular showcase of tenderness and beauty found within polished beats. Somehow, this guy manages to move you in deeper way ever imaginable with the electronic sound—a genre that quite often expands to very shallow and inept musicians. Unfortunately, Manuel almost falls into this on the track, “My Girl,” where he inexplicably quotes a Spice Girls’ lyric for some odd reason. Other than that noticeable misstep, the guy is pretty legit as an artist. By the end of the record, Chad Valley does an admirable job with what he set out to do. With “Young Hunger,” Manuel covers additional ground than he probably should have since he could have benefited more by taking the shorter, more distinct route rather than weaving through the highways to finally reach his destination. Then again, at least he made it to the end.

might as well take heed and seek another different music outlet.

The best track is the open-er, “Headlights.” It begins like a classic 70s jam and simply hooks you in with its build ups and drop offs con-sistently running through the track. Lead singer John Pelant has quite the falsetto range. There is something quite charming underneath those vocals. He may not use them to the fullest extent, but nascent vocals nonetheless. While there is so much personality layered under “Colored Emotions,” you start to wonder if it’s entirely original or just mimicking those of others it admires. Nevertheless, with a solid combination of sen-sitive pop melodies, solid songwriting, and seasoned sound, Night Moves could be your guiding light to the past. What I mean is that they may make you seek out the sounds of earlier days.

The album is full of mercurial hooks, warm undertones, and soulful vocals. The more you listen, the more you connect. It’s the kind of record you wish there was just a little more to put it over the edge. With only 7 normal dura-tion tracks, the album is short-lived. However, with wonderful arrangements and effervescent choruses, the record has great depth despite the relatively lim-ited length. Night Moves’ “Colored Emotions” is as compelling and tender as it is green and undercooked at times. Without a doubt it is a considerably solid first outing. Big ideas and mighty musical explora-tions leave the Minneapolis three-piece to be a gifted band seeking to ascend from the shadows and enter newfound light.

album. “Lonesome Dreams” debuted back in October, but it still hummed along to a buoy-ant summer resonance, but also unequivocally finds itself in the melancholic autumn season. With this hovering layer of hope and idealism on “Lonesome Dreams,” it becomes a place where the heavy hearts, dreamers, and un-conformists can meet and unite as one. 4. TANLINES – “MIXED

EMOTIONS” - Jesse Cohen and Eric Emm, the dynamic duo be-hind Tanlines, have already been on the scene for a couple years. However, it’s not until now that the boys from Brooklyn have released their debut LP, “Mixed Emotions.” The influences range from pop, indie, dance and even world music. The aptly titled record is exactly what the record feels like—a collection of mixed emotions developed into one of the most vivacious sounding records thus far this year. Despite the customary lyrics, the real attraction is the band’s overall sound and how Emm’s sprightly vocals oscillate with each line. The music absolutely brings the listener to a completely new emotional elevation. The bending of genres is both brilliant and ut-terly alluring. There is something naturally genial about “Mixed Emotions.” The songs are con-structed in such an effervescent, expressive, and earnest manner. I’m not sure if another album this year was filled with so much raw passion, vitality, and ebullience. It’s amazing how everything feels perfectly executed. Tanlines have composed a record with songs that will either have your feet moving to the beats, your mind contemplating whatever troubles you, or your heart find-ing much needed relief. In the end, “Mixed Emotions” is an outstanding achievement that ultimately makes for a truly incredible debut presentation.

3. PASSION PIT – “GOS-SAMER” - Hailing from Cambridge, Massachusetts, electropop darlings Passion Pit find themselves bursting back onto the scene with “Gossa-mer,” the successor to their 2009 breakthrough album, “Manners”. Simply put, “Gossamer” is pure awesomeness for the summer season. It’s glorious, beautiful, amazing in every aspect. It’s brighter and bubblier than their last outing, which is saying a whole lot if you’re already famil-iar with their previous material. Passion Pit mixes synthesizers, tweaked post-production vocals, funky beats, the occasional R&B

vibe and an overall pop sound that is exceptionally revital-izing. “Gossamer” is a smash-ingly high-quality record that should cater to both indie and mainstream fans equally. The fun seriously never stops for its 48 minutes of length. While some people may mistake the album for being grandiloquent in nature, I absolutely love the overblown sound. The high flowing energy “Gossamer” brings to the table is not only mind-blowing, but also commendable on Passion Pit’s part. They slow down a bit in the R&B inspired tune, “Constant Conversations”. It’s a welcoming small departure that’s smooth, sexy, and is easily superior to anything that’s been released by artists who are confined to that genre as their dominant stomping ground. Credit is due for Passion Pit for their tremendous efforts of not only expanding upon their artistic abilities, but also pushing the envelope even further. The record outdoes its predecessor in every imaginative way possible and ends up being the closest thing to a pop masterpiece in quite sometime.

2. BEACH HOUSE – “BLOOM” - Dream-pop aficionados, Beach House, have somehow managed to stay within the margins of their genre of expertise, but further expand their dreamy and hauntingly immaculate resonance on their latest record. “Bloom,” comes off the heels of their acclaimed 2010 opus, “Teen Dream,” which wowed critics and fans alike. “Bloom” dazzles and hypno-tizes with its atmospheric haze that embodies the ten glorious tracks. The innately organic tone Beach House offers is a marvel to become fully immersed with. There is something truly remark-able to the weightlessness each track plays off. That’s not to say they don’t provide any substance because they do, but attempt-ing to discover this kind of utter beauty anywhere else may as well be a futile task. Darkly layered rhythms and immensely personal, “Bloom” takes you on an ethereal journey. Composed of stunning melodies and a deep complexity of arrangements, the album is a passage to an unearth-ly reality. Seemingly flawless from start to finish, “Bloom” is exactly what it’s named af-

ter—a period of time which sparks the utmost exquisiteness and imagination. The real treat with “Bloom” is the voyage from beginning to end—one I may add, will stay with you far after your return back.

1. MOTORAMA – “CALEN-DAR” - Motorama are a band hailing from Rostov-on-Don (Southern river port), Russia. Their sound is considered to be post-punk rock, but you’ll unmistakably notice the ‘80s new wave style blended into their unique style. However, to lump them into any genre isn’t fair. “Calendar” features ten remarkable tracks. The consis-tency of the album is astounding. That’s not to say the band plays anything too safe because they hardly ever do. Their talent of crafting soothing and peaceful melodies is rather astonishing. Rarely can a group put you in a perpetual reverie state like the way this five-piece band does. There is no denying how their sound induces a strong presence, one that needs not to be ignored or freely dismissed. If you’re looking for some of the best mu-sic offered in any country, look no further than Motorama. These guys will shock you on how great they are. , Motorama will completely surprise you on every track. Their sound is sweet and while it gallops fluently, it will draw you in like a strong vortex. Listening to their sophomore al-bum, “Calendar” is like heading to unknown terrain. You don’t know what you’ll discover, but when you do find that something, you’ll realize it’s exactly that very thing you’ve been missing all along. “Calendar” brings you an arsenal of pensively twee pop tunes. There’s no lack of warmth, heart, or soul. Everything found on the album was unexpected pleasure matched with unparal-leled beauty. With some of the best sounding arrangements I’ve ever heard, Motorama’s follow-up album, “Calendar,” is an extraordinary accomplish-ment on all levels of production. This isn’t just the best album of the year, but one of the greatest albums in quite sometime.

You are encouraged to inves-tigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either 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.
