50 Thousand Pumpkins

"HEROES IN THE SHADOWS"

San Gabriel Valley Stand Down this November, 2012

SportsStartPAGE 8

By Sean TellesPomona, Ca Each year agricultural college, Cal Poly Pomona migrates the 50,000 pumpkins students grow to one spot to create one of the most spectacular fall views in the San Gabriel Valley.

The Cal Poly Pomona Pumpkin Festival, now in its 20th year, is one of the most popular family friendly Hal-loween events in Los Ange-les. Beyond pumpkins being

sold at $5 each, or 5 for $20 during the festival, activities include games, student club booths, a corn maze, a petting zoo, horse rides, entertain-ment, and pancake breakfast from 8am-11am. There is also a separate, but thrilling insect

fair featuring nearly 500,000 live and preserved insects.

Make sure to bring a cam-era to capture those adorable moments, and if you are plan-ning on buying a lot of large orange vegetables, save your back (and pride) and bring a wheelbarrow. Come early as crowds tend to grow quickly. No dogs allowed; sorry snoopy.

The insect fair, also happen-

Roving reporter Sean Telles and autumn enthusiast, Lorianne

ing that weekend on campus, is a great, cost effective way to introduce or admire insects. With over 25 vendors, events included live insects, insect education, insect jewelry, insect candy, and the not to be missed madagascar hiss-ing cockroach races. Lead by entomology professor Dr. Richard Kaae, profits from the fair are used to take students abroad to study and enjoy these creatures in their natural

habitat, such as New Zealand and Thailand.

The Pumpkin Festival is free to attend and parking is also free. The pancake break-fast is $5 for adults and $4 for children 12 and under. The insect fair is $6 for adults and

$4 for students and children 3-12. There is a free shuttle to the insect fair from the Pump-kin Festival parking lot.

Group tours/field trips of the pumpkin patch are avail-able before and after the festival for schools, scout troupes, afterschool programs, daycares, and other interested parties. For more information, please contact Brenda Orosco at 909-869-6722.

South El Monte, CA As part of a continuing mission to serve the needs of homeless Veterans in the San Gabriel Valley, San Gabriel Valley Veterans Employment Com-mittee and Vet Hunters Proj-ect have once again assem-bled a coalition of community organizations, private industry and federal, state and local government entities to host the 2nd Annual Heroes in the Shadows Stand Down for homeless Veterans. The event scheduled is for the weekend of November 2 through 4, 2012 on the grounds of Whit-tier Narrow Park in the City of South El Monte across the street from the Army Re-serve Center. Admission will be open to pre-registration and walk-up attendees from 8:00am 10:00am each morning of the event.

During the event, attendees will be able to access basic

services such as medical care, mental health and substance abuse counseling, aid in re-ceiving Veterans benefits from federal and state Departments of Veterans Affairs, employ-ment and housing assistance, all in a one-stop environ-ment. Attendees will receive showers provided by the Army Reserve, new clothing, hot meals, as well as a second chance to connect with their fellow Veterans and enjoy a weekend away from the hard-ships they normally face. Last year over 400 homeless and at risk Veterans along with

their Family members, were served in the same area, Whit-tier Narrows Park. This year we estimate approximately 400-600 Veterans and their dependants to take part over the three day event. Think about this, if housing the homeless is expensive, con-sider the cost of not housing them. The average chronically homeless person costs tax-payers $40,000 the price of jail, mental institutions, emergency rooms. And after that $40,000 is spent, they are no closer to having a home.

In times of war, a Stand Down means a break from the battles. For some Veter-ans who fought those battles and came home to fight other conflicts in their private lives, struggles that left them lost and homeless, a Stand Down can be a chance to embark on the road back to their lives. For homeless Veterans, a

Stand Down is a break from the street, the hunger, the despair, a time to connect with other Veterans, a time to find out whats available to get them off the street and help them return to a life they once knew. We are working very hard daily to take away the word homeless away from Veteran. Those two words should never go together.

The 2012 Annual San Ga-briel Stand Down is presented by San Gabriel Valley VEC and the Vet Hunters Project along with a coalition of

By South El Monte Art PosseSouth El Monte, CA -- If you look closely, over or through the green tarps on the chain link fence, youll find a large field filled with patches of dirt, several dead bushes, a critter or two, and three-foot weeds growing freely. Before its current state of abandon the lot on Santa Anita Ave near Merced, housed a large nursery, providing residents

with a place to purchase a range of plants and trees. To the dismay of the some residents (and the approval of others), the nursery was replaced by a rendering, which promised a future shopping center. The shop-ping center never arrived, the rendering was eventually replaced by a for lease sign. Years later, it remains.

On Oc-tober 13th at 9am, Jennifer Renteria, a recent graduate of USCs School of Architecture and daughter of Starlite Swap Meet vendors, will provide South El Monte Residents with her own vision for this abandoned lot. Her project, the Uncultivated Park, is part of South El Monte Arts Posses on-going vacant lot art series titled Activate Vacant. SEMAP is a collective of artists, writers, urban planners, educators, scholars, and youth interested in engaging directly with the South El Monte and El Monte community through the arts by rethinking our use of space and transforming how we in-habit it. For Activate Vacant, the collective invited artists to create art installations in abandoned, un-used, and, of-ten, fenced-in lots in El Monte and South El Monte.

Below is a brief interview with Renteria about her work.

How does your project for Activate Vacant relate to your previous work? At the core of all my proj-ects from my work on street vending to my work on urban nature is an ongoing investigation of how people interpret and shape place, how time influences the way people interact with place, and how place and time shape

people. More so, all of these explorations are hyper aware of change, and the blurred line that marks where culture and nature end and begin. Be it in a dense, urban setting or in a more remote, wild condi-tion these questions always remain relevant.Can you tell us about The

Uncultivated Park? In addition to being an ex-ploration of the blurred line between nature and culture,

Representative Judy Chu, in partnership with Kaiser Permanente Baldwin Park Medical Center and local womens shelters, on Friday, September 28, 2012 had a kick off of a month-long project to benefit survivors of domestic violence. The collection drive, scheduled to coincide with Domestic Violence Awareness Month in October, will collect new and gently used womens and childrens clothing, household cleaning products, toiletries, school supplies and used cell phones that will benefit domestic violence survivors served by shelters throughout Pasadena and the San Gabriel Valley.

The Uncultivated Park reflects a long held interest in natural history, especially that of urban environments. This is when the questions What is here? What was here? Why is it no longer here? What should be kept? and What can and should be here? become especially relevant.

Often, my initial response to a new project site is to want to deeply investigate its physical and geographic past, followed by a desire to incor-porate this past into a sites re-imagining an approach that is, more often than not, typi-cal of landscape architects. Thus, when I learned of the Activate Vacant project and explored the sites, I responded by looking into the sites natural history. Ultimately, what is imaged are flora and fauna that are endemic to the region or are invasive flora of similar climates that have en-hanced local faunas habitat. Of course, all of these spe-cies may not have existed in such close proximity to each other, as imaged and, too, the body of water might require a bit of imagination, but these elements are certainly true to South El Montes natural history. It never fails that I am blown away when I think about an urban sites natural history sometimes, it feels like an out of body experi-ence when I think about how an environment has changed, how our collective human efforts have and can change the physical expression of a place. . My hope is that people who see the final piece alongside the actual site and reflect on the fact that such an experience once thrived right where they stand will also feel that otherworldly sensation as well as be reminded that we are neither the beginning nor the end.

EMUHSD Schools Receive Silver Medals from U. S. News and World Report

Adult School Training a Better Choice in Todays Economy

Mountain View High Teacher Attends Summer Seminar in

New York City

By Anne Donofrio-HolterU. S. News and World Re-

port, in its issue focusing on America's best high schools, has awarded silver proficiency medals to South El Monte, Arroyo, El Monte and Rose-mead High Schools.

Nearly 22,000 public high schools in 49 states and the District of Columbia were awarded gold, silver or bronze medals based on state profi-ciency standards, how well they prepare students for college and other factors. The research was based on key principles that a great high school must serve all its stu-dents well, not just those stu-dents bound for college, and that it must be able to produce measurable academic out-comes to show that the school is successfully educating its

student body across a range of performance indicators.

South El Monte High School is very proud of this accomplishment, said prin-cipal Angie Gonzales. We are working hard to meet the needs of all our students.

According to Gonzales, student numbers in meet-ing the A-G college entrance requirements and taking advanced placement classes have increased.

El Monte Union High School District superintendent Nick Salerno also expressed his pride on the recognition of four district schools by U.S. News and World Re-port. "This award would not be possible without the hard work and dedication of our staff and students," he said.

By Anne Donofrio-HolterMountain View High School teacher Chris Lewis was one of 25 teachers awarded a spot in the "Recipe for America month-long summer seminar sponsored by the National En-dowment for the Humanities. Held in New York City, the seminar focused on identity development and immigration at the turn-of-the-century and emphasized identity develop-ment through food culture.

According to the New York Public Library, the role that New York City has played in the story of United States immigration makes it the ideal setting for an Institute covering this content. In the crowded streets of 19th centu-ry and early 20th century New York City, diverse cultural groups worked together and often lived in the same tene-ments. They shopped from the same pushcarts and stores. Recipes and foods from respective mother countries eventually intertwined and melded to craft new foodways and eating traditions.

Not only did this seminar influence my teaching in the social science department but it also helped support my current areas of research including identity develop-ment and archival work, said Lewis. Each day, we worked with historians, educators, librarians and scholars from

all over the world focusing on issues of identity, immigra-tion and assimilation through the lens of food culture. The New York Public Library has a collection of family cook-books, restaurant menus and city maps that help document the shifting and diverse com-munities of New York City at the turn of the century.

Currently a doctoral student at Chapman University pursu-ing a PhD in education with an emphasis on culture and curricular studies, Lewis was excited to work with the other teachers in developing new and exciting ways to approach history education through the use of archival materials and food.

By Anne Donofrio-HolterWith so many schools to choose from for career and vocational training, what makes the El Monte-Rose-mead Adult School a better option than a private for-profit vocational school? Accord-ing to Assistant Principal Sara Shapiro, there are many reasons to consider.

Adult schools are far less expensive than private for-profit vocational schools and also offer adjunct services such as school counseling, basic education classes, high school diploma or GED to help students who do not pos-

sess a high school diploma or lack basic skills, said Shapiro. Private vocational schools will sometimes ac-cept students who qualify for financial aid, but may not possess the skills needed to successfully complete the program.

Students could end up with costly loans at private voca-tional schools whether or not they finish their training.

Then theres the issue of accreditation.

The majority of adult schools, including the El Monte-Rosemead Adult School, are accredited institu-

tions following California teaching and content stan-dards. Some private voca-tional schools have not been accredited and their certifi-cates are not recognized by higher learning institutions, said Shapiro. Our teachers are fully credentialed to teach in their field.

Private schools are not required to hire credentialed teachers.

In addition, since most adult schools are already located in the students own neighborhood, attendance there makes it easier on the wallet given the high cost of gasoline, added Shapiro.

Unfortunately, with recently reduced or eliminated fund-ing, many adult schools may not be able to offer a suf-ficient number of vocational classes to meet students needs.

In some cases, it could take longer for students to get and complete their classes, said Shapiro.

For additional information on courses offered, registra-tion, fees and class locations, go to www.emras.edu. The El Monte-Rosemead Adult School participates in the Cal-ifornia Work Opportunity and Responsibility to Kids (Cal WORKs) program. Recipi-ents of Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program may be eligible for child care, transportation and educational costs. For more information, please call your social worker.

The El Monte-Rosemead Adult School offers a variety of classes to meet a students academic and occupational career goals, said Shapiro. Our goal is to offer qual-ity service and educational opportunities to our students with a staff always available to assist you in developing your educational plans.

TOWN TWEETSBy Joe Castillo

Seen Around the Valley

Rosemead Happenings . If you want to know whats happening in your city all you have to do is attend a city council meeting. The Rose-mead City Council meeting on September 25 provided a lot of insightful information on the city and its operations. The meeting was called to or-der at 7PM by Mayor Sandra Armenta. Council Members Polly Low, William Alarcon, Margaret Clark and Steven Ly were all in attendance. The meeting started with a pre-sentation to the Lady Hawks softball team who participated in the Triple Crown World Se-ries in Nevada and the USS-SA National in West Covina. A proclamation for National Voter Registration Day was also read. Neither representa-tive was present but the city recognition was still honor-ably presented. The city also recognized Savannah Memo-rial Cemetery for their recent California Historical site designation. A proclamation was read by Mayor Armenta and yours truly representing Savannah as President of the association was on hand to receive the proclamation. The customary pictures were taken with the entire council and the honored cemetery representa-tive. The adult softball and basketball programs have always been a very popular recreation program in Rose-mead. As the budget for these programs kept getting bigger, the city decided to contract out the management of the programs. Beginning in the fall season, the city council voted to approve Southland

Sport Association to manage the adult basketball program and Major League Softball to manage the adult softball program. The city will no longer use their own staff to run the adult leagues and the participation fees will remain the same. In addition, the contracted organizations will pay the city part of their revenues collected from the sport programs. It looks like a win-win opportunity for the city and its local residents. Stray cats were another item on the city council agenda. It seems that stray cats cost the city $120 to $140 to be pro-cessed through the county. If a local resident turns in a stray cat to the city, the city will then turn around and send the cat to county animal services in Baldwin Park. The county will then charge back the city the $120 plus dollars for the stray cat. The City Council voted 4-1 to charge residents $10 for any stray cat which is turned in. Councilmember Margaret Clark was the only disapproving vote and really put the issue in perspective when she questioned the need to charge residents an amount which wasnt even a signifi-cant percentage of what the county charges back to the city. Ive been to a number of city council meetings and most fees are approved unani-mously. It was very refreshing to see Councilmember Clarke vote against a fee which is nothing more than an annoy-ing charge which does noth-ing to build goodwill between the city and its residents....

La Fiesta Grande For The Lions!By Joe TorosianEl Monte, CA - You want me to bake them a cake? Said Arroyo HC Jim Singiser when asked by a local re-porter to describe his thoughts of El Monte after its 38-21 victory Friday night.Truth is he probably should

have baked them a cake and the rest of us should have attended the party to see the Lions blow the candles out on the Knights 21-game winning streak.Brandon Martinez threw six touchdown passes, four in the first half, three to Abel Bara-jas, for 375 yards on 27 of 39 passing.Brandon is Brandon, said El Monte HC Joel Sanchez. I dont need to sit here and tell you how great he is. But hes got Abel, Josh, Adolfo and weve got Bryan Luevano, a guy who runs hard for our team and doesnt get the credit he deserves.Across the field Arroyos most experienced player was Peter Aholoka. The senior running back rushed for a 161 yards on 20 carries and a touhdown, and was all the Knights could answer the El Monte onslaught with.It wasnt close to being enough.On their opening drive the Lions covered 81-yards over the course of five minutes, playing typical Lion football. They converted a fourth down and eight from their own 45 with a 27-yard pass from Martinez to Josh Morales. A few players later a first and goal at the Arroyo four turned into fourth down from three.

Martinez found Abel Barajas for the games first score in the corner of the end zone.The two-point attempt failed.The Knights had opened the game with a drive that used Aholoka and reached the EM 24 before ending with Aaron Tang taking a tipped ball out

of the air for an interception. On the possession follow-ing the El Monte score, they responded with one of their own. Eight plays, eight runs, going eighty-yards before quarterback Natha Coto

reached the one on a 9-yard run and fumbled into the end zone where Sonny Gonzalez recovered it for Arroyo. The point after was added and the visitors, the local kings of football, had a 7-6 lead.Within five minutes every-thing would change. The Knights for some reason

started passing the ball and Lions OC Brian Tabatabai es-sentially said; Let it rainThe cloud burst arrive with 7:30 to play in the second quarter as Barajas caught a 52-yard touchdown pass from Martinez to give EM back the lead. Luevano added the deuce and it was 14-7.(And Memo Silva along with the other who experi-enced the 2011 loss rejoiced.)With 4:48, and Arroyo still lacking a center fielder, Marti-nez went 19-yards to Adolfo Sanchez to make it 20-7.(And the team that saw An-thony Wilbur block that kick in 2003 began to dance.)With 2:04 to play Martinez hit paydirt again by going 8-yards to Barajas. The re-ceivers third touchdown grab of the half made it 26-7 at the break.(And the team in 2001 that saw Nick Kearney and the Knights grab the MVLs final playoff spot began to feel the ceasing of their pain.)With 9:23 to play in the third quarter Morales got behind the Arroyo secondary for a 26-yard touchdown to make it 32-7.(And Ev Bjorensen and Jack Barton high-fived in the heavens.)Aholoka added his 11-yard scoring run to stop the 26-0 run late in the fourth.We got suckered out of what we wanted to do, said Singiser. Our game plan was

to run the ball, and we were up 7-6, but we got pulled out of what we wanted to do and started throwing the ball and turned it over.Early in the fourth Martinez and Luevano hooked up on a 25-yard wheel route to dis-miss any remote thoughts of a fantastic

Spartans Get Leg Up On Matadors

By Duane BarkerMontebello, CA -- The Sch-urr Spartans rallied to squeak out a 16-15 victory over the visiting San Gabriel Mata-dors capping the homecom-ing festivities Friday night at Ken Davis Field on Schurrs campus.The rally was capped by a game winning 46-yard field goal by Estevan Tonche as time was evaporating into the night.The game winning drive started at the Spartan 34 where Schurr took possession after holding on defense and forcing the Matadors to punt on fourth and short on the San Gabriel side of the field. Eric Perez and Abel Troncoza pro-vided much of the yardage on the drive picking up a couple of first downs along the way.It appeared that the drive came to an end when the Spartans Sal Chavez was picked just as Schurr was penetrating into the Matador side of the field. The intercep-tion however was nullified as San Gabriel was flagged for a roughing the passer call giv-ing the Spartans new life.A couple more Chavez passes fell incomplete and Schurr trotted Tonche onto the field facing a field goal attempt of 51-yards. The initial snap was put down but before Tenoche could make the attempt, whistles blew halting the play. The flag was sorted and San Gabriel was called for being offside moving the ball five

yards closer for Tenoche.When the ball was snapped again, Tonche put his foot into a solid kick that sailed into the cool Montebello air and snuck through the left post for the game winner. San Gabriel held as much as a nine point lead with a little under eight minutes left in the third quarter. The Matadors took that lead on a 74-yard bomb from Marqus Valenzu-ela to Gabriel Larios. Valen-zuela came on after Mikal Quintanilla came out of the game due to an injury.After the game Spartan head coach Marco Ramirez com-mented on his defenses per-formance.

Seen Around the Valley

By Sean TellesSan Gabriel, CA -- Victor Huynh, owner of local business Ready Artwork, was married to Ting Liao. Huynh is a long-time SGV resi-dent who attended Mark Keppel High School and Liao attended high school in Montana through a China/USA student exchange program before she settled down in the San Gabriel Valley to pursue higher education and a career. In this photo you see the couple feeding lettuce to a pair of traditional chinese lions that perform during major celebrations such as Chinese New Year, the start of a new business or in this case, the start of a lifelong com-mitment between the Huynh and Liao family. San Gabriel Valley is a thriving community that provides

a hub for many families, businesses and cultures, both new and old. This is illustrated through Huynh's company, Ready Artwork, which is a San Gabriel based web/design business that works with profession-al and non-profit clients such as Radio Disney, Wing Hop Fung, the city of Monterey Park, the city of San Gabriel, the San Gabriel Mission Playhouse, the San Gabriel Mission Church and La Casa Community Center.

Breast Cancer Awareness MonthBaldwin Park, CA - On October 2, Kaiser Perman-ente Baldwin Park leadership hosted a tree planting cer-emony on campus in honor of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month to com-memorate breast cancer survi-vors. Physicians, employees, and members attended the ceremony. Some of the staff who attended the event were breast cancer survivors while others attended in support of a loved one. Survivors had an opportunity to put their name on a pink ribbon and hang it on the tree, which is located by the member parking struc-ture across from the lagoon.

October is National Breast Cancer Awareness month and serves as a reminder to prac-tice good breast health. Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women, but it can also appear in men. In the United States, it affects one in eight women. This year, estimated new cases of breast cancer in the U.S. are 229,060 according to the National Cancer Institute.

Breast cancer is a cancer-ous growth that begins in the tissues of the breast. It is important to know the risk factors associated with breast cancer. Some risk factors, like a person's age or race, can't be changed. Other risk factors are related to personal behaviors such as smoking, drinking, and diet. Still others are linked to cancer-causing factors in the environment. Your risk for breast cancer can change over time with ag-ing and lifestyle changes.

Some lifestyle related factors have been found to be a risk factor for the develop-ment of breast cancer. Having children have been found to reduce the risk. Using estro-gen hormonal therapy after menopause may place you at a greater risk. While much is

not clear on the exact effects of diet, obesity, smoking and alcohol consumption, all pa-tients are encouraged to adopt a healthy lifestyle. Weekly physical activity and weight control is encouraged for all women, explains Hong Yoon Plurad, MD, General Surgery, Kaiser Permanente Baldwin Park Medical Center.

The most common symp-tom of breast cancer is an ab-normal mammogram. Women

without significant family history should have a base-line mammogram at age 40, every two years until age 50 and then every year after that. Breast cancer can also present as a new lump or mass. A mass that is painless, hard and has irregular edges is more likely to be cancerous. Being checked by a health care pro-fessional with experience in diagnosing breast diseases is recommended.

Susan Komen Orange CountyRace For The Cure

Fashion Island - New Port BeachOn September 23, 2012 The world's largest 5 K Run/Walk Series to help fight Breast Cancer was held. The event at-tracted over 18,000 participants. The day was inspiring, amaz-ing and beautiful. All were very grateful to be a part of the Komen's vision of a world without breast cancer.

Tell Graham... see. Tell him to see. And tell Merrill to swing away. --Colleen Hess

Perspective man...You understand it...theres a need for it...it is rational...it makes sense...and thoroughly a big pain in the neck.Yeah, when youre young you can be forgiven for lacking perspective...but that means forgiven because perspec-tive remains oh so necessary...Whether you are young or old.Part of the anticipated scene at El Monte Friday night was seeing the Lions, the Lions coaching staff, and anyone with any affili-ation to the school going crazy after beating Arroyo for the first time since 1990.Rip up part of the field, tear down a goal post, rip up a picture of D.J. MacKinnon, Jim Singiser, Dominic Salmon, or Steven Rivera.Instead the players were in check...and the coaches, while elated, exhibited perspective.Let me tell you something if Im David and I take down Goliath, Im putting that head on a pike for the Philistines to see.If Im the guy getting sand kicked in my face, then Im going to rub salt into the bully, after I kick his butt, every chance I get.When I win a game of Uno, Monopoly, Trivial Pursuit or get a prediction right on a football game, I twist that knife into my adversary and make him suffer.Its what I do...actually its what I want to do...Until perspective steps in to keep my actions in check. It highlights my inner immaturity before I unleash it for the world to see. Perspective sometimes might feel like shack-les, but its more like the wise hand of a parent or grandparent keeping you aware of what is happening all around you.With the clocked ticked down and the game ball presented Joel Sanchez and the El Monte coach-ing staff started talking about next week. About Rosemead.The id inside of him, inside of us all, may have wanted to jump up and down and scream it from the mountain top...But perspective reminded him, and the rest of those involved with the program, that the victory---big as it was---was only one of five they would need to win the Mission Valley League.Brandon Martinez was awesome, the team was marvelous, but Sanchez and his coaching staff was tremendous in understanding and employing perspective.

This makes them even more dangerous going forward.

The Peterson PrincipleByTim PetersonAssociate Editor

It finally happened and it hap-pened convincingly. For the first time in 21 years El Monte knocked off Arroyo. It wasn't close. El Monte jumped out to a 26-7 halftime lead and it was 32-7 as the Lions coasted from there. It wasn't exactly the way you expected Arroyo to go down but this Brandon Martinez guy...yeah he's something special. He threw for 375 yards and six touchdowns. On the year he has 22 touchdown passes and 2265 yards through the air in just six games. By the time the season is over he could be described as the best quarterback in El Monte history. Joel Sanchez probably summed it up best after the game. Brandon is Brandon. I don't need to sit here and tell you how great he is, Sanchez said. While Martinez was the best player on the field the best line of the night belonged to Arroyo HC Jim Singiser following the defeat. You want me to bake them a cake? he said.To give you an idea of how long ago it was since the Lions tasted victory over the Knights...In 1990 George Bush was the presi-dent Senior not junior. General Manuel Noriega surrendered in Panama and South Africa freed Nelson Mandela after he was imprisoned for 27 years. Iraqi troops invaded Kuwait setting off the Persian Gulf War and Margaret Thatcher resigned as British Prime Minister. The U.S Appeals Court overturned Oliver North's Iran-Contra convic-tion and the median household income was $29,943. Unemploy-ment was at 5.6 % and the cost of the first class postage stamp was 25 cents. San Francisco won the Super Bowl, Cincinnati took the World Series and Detroit won the NBA title. UNLV beat Duke to win the NCAA Basketball championship and in college football are you ready for this? Colorado...yeah Colorado was the AP Champion with a record of 11-1. Georgia Tech (11-0-1) won the UPI poll. Yes the Associated Press and United Press International still had a say in the champions of college football. Driving Miss Daisy was awarded the Academy Award for Best Picture. Oh, and El Monte beat Arroyo 30-0. Yeah it's been awhile. Hacienda Hysteria Bonita started the season 3-0 but is now 2-0 in the Hacienda League. Two time defending CIF Southeast Champion West Co-vina loses to Los Altos last week 17-14. Okay, well Los Altos is dominant right? Well actually no. The Conquerors lost to Diamond Bar 40-3 the week before they stunned WestCo and followed up the big win by losing to Rowland 28-13.

Road Warriors Shut Out

DonsBy Matt Schuler Baldwin Park, CA -Ruben Elias and Joseph Centeno both ac-counted for over 100 yards on the ground, Tizoc Monar-rez and Robert Angulo each came down with a touchdown grab, and La Puente as a team breached the goal line a total six times in the process of shutting out Sierra Vista 42-0 on their home field Friday night in a Montview League match-up.Elias, the Warriors main offensive weapon on the ground, touched the ball 12 times for 124 yards and two touchdowns. Elias scored on a powerful 25 yard run in the second to give La Puente a 22-0 advantage with 2:51 remaining. Elias then capped off a 7-play drive with 8:41 in the third quarter, giving LP a comfortable 35-0 advantage.The Warriors (4-2, 2-1) played very opportunistic and capitalized off the Dons (2-2, 1-1) mistakes early. Five plays into the opening drive, LP back Jose Carrillo fumbled the ball and it was recovered by Joseph Sanchez at the 10 yard line. La Puente countered with a 16 play 90 yard drive and score with quarterback Ivan Vasquez hitting Angulo for the opening score.

GAME NIGHTPAGE

15

50-22 but fell to the Bulldogs two weeks ago. So is Rowland right there with Bonita? Um, not really. The Raiders were routed by the Bearcats 57-16 two weeks ago. The only sure thing right now is that Walnut won't be a fac-tor. The Mustangs are 0-2, 1-5 overall, and have been outscored 77-14 in league play. This week has Diamond Ranch at Los Altos, Bonita at West Co-vina and Rowland at Walnut. Is Bassett Back?No, the Olympians aren't neces-sarily back but they are much improved. There is an entire new coaching staff in place with Hector Spathias as HC and Jerry Urias at OC. Bassett jumped out to a 9-0 lead on undefeated Gladstone last Thursday night and was only down 23-22 at the half. G-Stone went on to win by three touchdowns but Gladiator Head Coach Albert Sanchez was impressed. 'They came out and punched us. Give credit to Bassett, he said. Urias is doing a great job with the offense and has had to start basically from scratch. Most of the players weren't even sure how to run proper routes. Bassett is 2-5 overall and 1-1 in the Montview league, including an impressive 41-14 win over Workman last week. Gardens Party Bell Gardens 30-13 win over Alhambra was impressive but the thing that really stood out Friday night was the size of the crowd. I had to hike in three blocks after finally finding a parking place. The place was packed for Homecoming and with the crowd roaring you got the sense that the home field advantage really did come into play when the Lancers turned it on in the fourth quarter. And Jorge Remigio, well there's a moratorium on the word beast, so I'll just say he's really really good. That's my principle.

comeback or epic collapse.(and Its time to go tip some back at the El Sombre-ro, said one alumnus.)A 36-yard halfback option pass from Jesus Calvillo to David Cotero window dressed the score for the Knights.It means a lot, Sanchez said about the win. Weve talked about this game since los-ing to them last year, and we didnt forget about it. The victory, its first over Arroyo since 1990, improved El Monte t0 4-2 overall (1-0), while the Knights fell to 3-3 (0-1).

Weve been playing them (San Gabriel) for years and they are always tough to stop. We felt like we had a good plan and our defense over achieved today.

By Alex GonzalezRosemead, CA- Rosemeads Stephen Cansino kicked four of five field goals including a 43-yarder late in the fourth to seal the game as Rosemead held off South El Monte 21-16 Friday night at Marinelli Stadium.We really emphasized our special teams this week, said Rosemead HC Marc Paramo. Our kicker (Cansino) did an amazing job on the field goals.Cansino missed his first at-tempt on the Panthers first drive but since that missed he was spot on for the remainder of the game. Cansino landed kicks from 40,26,35 and 42-yards out.The overall special teams ef-fort for the Panthers made it difficult for the Eagles to have good field position. If it was either punting or kicking off, the Panthers did not give the Eagles a chance to return.They have some dangerous guys back there and we didnt want to give them any opper-tunity to return the ball, said Paramo. The kids responded and they executed.The running attack for Rose-mead controlled the majority of the game. Both Everardo Camacho and Alec Zavala combined for 146-yards on 33 carries.The only score for the Pan-thers came in the first half when Camacho scrambled for a seven yard score.At the end of the first half, Rosemead was on top 13-0.It was a tale of two halves for the Eagles. In the first half, the Eagles couldnt get going. The Panther defense stopped the run and didnt allow anything down the field. La Habra transfer Levi Wells, who played in his first game, struggled passing the ball in the first half. He was picked off and sacked.But in the second half started, he turned around and led the Eagles to touchdown drives.His first came after Rosemead fumbled their kick off. He connected with Javier Ma-chuca from 35-yards out early in the third quarter to make it 13-10.After a Panther field goal, the Eagles answered back with a seven play drive that ended with Wells connecting with Jordan Vargas from 13-yards out, tying the ball game at 16.On the ensuing drive, Rose-mead did what they were doing all Cont.

The inde-pendent admin-istration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority. A HEARING on the petition will be held on November 9, 2012 at 8:30 AM in Dept. A located at 300 E. Walnut Street, Pasadena, CA 91101. IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objec-tions or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney. IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent creditor of the deceased, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the per-sonal representative appointed by the court within four months from the date of first issuance of letters as provided in Probate Code section 9100. The time for filing claims will not expire before four months from the hearing date noticed above. YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.
