Local Temple City resident and business owner, Jerry Jambazian, was recently honored at a dinner held in Diamond Bar. The California Park & Recreation Society District 13 presented him with a Com-munity Service Award in “rec-ogni-tion of out-stand-ing ser-vice to the field of parks & recreation.”

If some of you have been wonder-ing why Jerry hasn’t written as much for the Mid Valley News lately, it is because he is recuperating from a fall he

took on December 10th. He was a judge for the “Holiday Lights Contest,” and the group was meeting at Live Oak Park. It seems after

they returned and were getting out of the

van, Jerry lost his footing and

landed on his left hip. It was frac-tured and required surgery. Jerry is mending nicely and back to

working half days.

He attends physical

therapy twice a week and is getting

around with a walker, and expects to graduate to a cane soon. Jerry is in good spirits and hopes to be writing for the paper beginning May 1st.

Fish Taco Contest

In 1978, Maria and Gilberto Romero began Taco Nazo from a lunch-truck. In just three years they saved enough money to open the first Taco Nazo restaurant in La Puente, California where the origi-

nal Taco Nazo continues to thrive.

We were the first restaurant

to offer authentic Baja-Style cuisine. Within 10 years we became the most recognized seller in Los Angeles of fish and shrimp tacos. Merrill Shindler calls us “The Best

Fish Taco in California”. We agree and add, if we are the Best in California then we are

the best in the world!

Taco Nazo offers a dis-tinctive blend of high quality, authentic Mex-ican cuisine combined with fresh seafood fare indicative of the Ensena-da region of Mexico. Taco Nazo’s menu items such as tacos and bur-ritos feature marinated, char-grilled meats and

other high-quality ingredi-ents. Adhering to an overall emphasis of freshness. Our menu also features signa-ture Ensenada style fish and shrimp tacos.

April 10, 2013 Page 3

I wish I could say with ease that things just happen, and we just have to move on and let it go. Alas, I can say it neither with simplic-ity nor confidence. Death causes unspeakable pain in a family, where we all unite in fear for the future. What will life be like without a mother, or a father, or a sister, or a brother? If they lose the battle with cancer, sickness, accident, or age, how can we continue living? A spacious gap at the dinner table or at family gatherings, it is a loss of a presence and a loss of love. How can one continue when one is reminded that a loved one is forever gone?

In the first week of Febru-ary, my paternal grandfather felt awful. A doctor’s diagno-sis led to the removal of his small intestine, but that was not the case. A few weeks later, they said it was lung cancer, stage four, and termi-nal. Then, only a month after the surgery, my grandfather was back in the hospital with an oxygen mask and breath-ing like a marathon runner. The hospice RN visited, and all we aimed for was for him to be comfortable. He died on March 11, 2013, less than twenty-four hours since I last visited him. My family had only a month to wrap their heads around the loss

of a father. A vicious scheme of nature to take away the symbol of strength in my family, everyone was simply devastated.

It is not a daughter’s joy to see her father falter and cry. It was a shocking sight that brought tears to my own eyes. When such an event occurs, we just have to hope that the person lived his or her life well. It is in this comfort that hopefully brings a family ease, and gives them the strength to carry on after death and into life. In truth, life is too short, but there is a way to make it seem longer and better: keep moving forward.

WEBB'S RULES

People are known to play games;Sometimes it shows up in our names.

Some names have a meaning of some kind;Others are conjured up out of someone's mind.

Some names are really funny;Such as Honey or Bunny.

But where did we go wrong?When Thomas can be known as Tom.

William is usually Bill;And Phillip is sometimes called Phil.

Now I am getting real picky;Richard is called Dick or Ricky.

Yet Francis, men are usually called Frank;and Henry is sometimes known as Hank.

Trying to figure out names can be a real job;Such as Robert being called Bob.

Anthony is also known as Tony to some;Names can affect almost anyone.

But for some, nicknames just don't work;Such as Owen, Chase, Cole, Jordan, or Kirk.

Names help to set us all apart;Some names can be very close to our heart.I sure don't have any reason to complain;

For I like a good solid name.

I got my first look at Dodger Stadium since the $100 million remodel Friday night against the Pirates. And although the millions of dol-lars spent isn't immediately evident when you first enter the ball park I came away impressed.

The new scoreboards in left and right field are something to see. They are as clear as a picture as you're ever going to see as they come at you in HD. It was kind of strange not to see the traditional old school light bulb scoreboard in right field but the new one was such an upgrade that you won't miss the old one for long. It has every piece of informa-tion oin it that you're going to need including who is currently warming up in the bullpen.

There was no line at the concession stand at all. At least in the section I was sitting, field level down the left field line, they were ef-ficient and quick. It took me all of two minutes to pick up a Dodger Dog and a coke and even after loading up the dog with mustard, relish and onions, I was back in my seat without missing a beat, and barely an out.

The concourse areas have also been expanded making it much less crowded when you make your way to and from your seat.

The restrooms have been improved and enlarged - no more troughs in the men's facilities- and doesn't that make everybody happy?

Driving into the parking lot was probably as easy as I can remember. There were parking attendants every-where instructing the drivers exactly where to park mak-ing the process fast and easy. And paying only $10.00 to park, remember the new ownership reduced it from $15.00 when they took over last year, was well worth it.

Getting out of the lots was painless as well. The lots are well lit and again the parking attendants were out in full force directing traffic. I was on the freeway in a matter of minutes and this was with over 40.000 in attendance.

Every Friday night home game there are fireworks and the fans are allowed to go out on the field during the show. This went off with-jout a hitch as well. Nobody rushed the field or tried to run anybody over. It was well organized and run to near perfection. There was

good music and if you're into fireworks it's a great produc-tion.

I didn't get a chance to see the kids area, which makes the park more family friend-ly, but they showed video of it on the high definintion screen in left field and it looked like a nice touch.

As for the game itself, The Dodgers spent another $147 million wisely on Zach Gre-inke. The right hander threw six and one-third scoreless innings allowing just two hits, to highlight the Dodgers 3-0 shutout. Matt Kemp even busted out of an oh for 2013 slump with an RBI double to right.

It's still, as Vin Scully likes to say, the best buy in town. It definitely is time for Dodger baseball.

Ran into Bellflower run-ning back Ryan Hunley at the Arcadia Invitational on Saturday. After smoking the field in Men's 200 meters he told me he was going to Golden West College in Huntington Beach in the fall. Last year Hunley rushed for 1907 yards and 17 touch-downs for the Buccaneers and should make a big im-pact down at the beach.

Former Azusa Aztec Lyzette Salas, class of 2007, was nine under as of Sat-urday at the LPGA tour in Palm Springs, and in second place behind the leader. She is currently number eight on the money list this year in the world. As for the football team;

“We look good. We're working hard,” said Azusa Coach Joe Scherf.

As for Montview League rival Gladstone have the Gladiators hired a coach yet? Anybody know his name?

That's my principle. Contact Tim at tim@mid-

Jerry Ortiz Memorial Boxing gym put on “Friday Night Fights” at Lambert Park with 15 exciting bouts. In attendance were pro boxers Joseph “JoJo” Diaz (3-0), Manuel Medina (2-0), Herbert Mariscal (5-1) and former champion “Mighty” Mike Anchondo.

One of the most skilled fighters of the night was “Jab-bin” Jalen Walker (Casillas Boxing) who got a win over game opponent Leonardo Rubalcava (Santa Fe Springs).

Sunny Rivera (GTO Box-ing) 17-years old showed a lot of heart against a Bernard Chew (Kosmos Boxing) 21-years old, Chew used his

reach, height and power to keep Rivera away. Sunny did have his moments in the fight but wasn’t enough in a TKO loss.

In one of three female bouts Lesly Soria (Jerry Ortiz) lost a razor thin decision against hard-hitting Susan Cruz (Meadow Brook) in a 125-pound bout.

Heaven Garcia (Jerry Ortiz) once again stole the show winning a slugfest against Eli Salinas (Fresno Pal) who gave Garcia all she could handle.

La Salle, trailing 5-0 after three innings, spun off a big five run game-tying rally in the fourth, and tacked on five more in the sixth to beat St. Francis 10-6 Monday at Jackie Robinson Field.

In the fourth, Jon Krieg had a big two run triple and George Medina knocked in two with a single to fuel the rally. Medina became the Lancers’ clutch deliverer this game, zooming that two-run single with bases loaded against two outs before aris-ing again in the sixth to single in the go-ahead run. He fin-ished hitting 3 for 5 with three RBIs. Krieg also ended up with three RBIs after singling in Medina that inning. Alex Escobedo flew in two more

on a dropped fly-ball in left field, and Chris Rabine cashed Krieg in to round it out for La Salle.

St Francis jumped out to a 4-0 lead in a topsy-turvy second inning riddled with four Lancer errors, the first of which came on Adam Shwery’s bunt towards third loaded up the bases with no outs before another on Tynan Holmstrom’s drive to third which slipped through the infielder onto left field and allowed Anders Schraer and Tommy Scheper to score. Shwery, after advancing to third on a botched rundown attempt, then struck paydirt moments later as Sean Garcia laced his first pitch over the third base side. Garcia would

himself cash in soon after as a throw-in from center field (on a Kevin Baker single) went off the mark.

Sidearm righty Jordan Rod-gers exited with a no-decision after five runs and 3 1/3s when putting two on with one out in the fourth. Nick Brown arrived and proved effective in shutting down the Golden Knights, as he was brushed for one late seventh-inning run (Scheper tripled to the alley before scoring on Shw-ery’s groundout) and just two hits to earn a win in relief.

For the Golden Knights it was their seventh consecu-tive loss as they fell to 2-9. La Salle overcame eight errors in the win and improved to 7-4.

La Salle Takes Down St. Francis

By Corey KwokPasadena

Monrovia seldom missed a beat offensively and scored in every inning except the sixth enroute to wrapping up an easy 11-1 victory over South Pasadena in a key Rio Hondo league match Tues-day.

The Wildcats darted ahead 2-0 in the opening stanza on a two run Daly double (James Daly) that delivered Erik Cox (2-4, RBI, 2B) and David Perez (3-5, 3 runs, 1-1 SB) who both strung back singles to lead off the inning

before Joe Mata bunted them into scoing position.

Mata (2-3, run, RBI, 1-1 SB), later zooming a single to right in the second that picked up Lorenzo Alvarado (1-3, BB, 2 runs) stretched the lead to 5-0, also dug deep as the Cats’ starting pitcher, tossing a grueling 86 pitches over five shutout innings to earn the win.

Nick Esparza dealt a three strikeout donut in the sixth, and sidearm righty Brian McConnell ended the game

with a strikeout and pickoff to nix off the Tigers.

Nick Carino flew in Mata on a sacrifice flyout to left-center and James Tubbs came through with a two out RBI double off the left field wall to knock in Daly and swell Monrovia’s cushion to 8-0 in the fourth. Cole-man Schultz (RBI walk) and Esparza (RBI single) book-ended M-Town’s scoring in the seventh.

South Pas finally got on the board in the bottom half

as Skyler Anselmo drove in Paul Amerine with a double to the centerfield alley. An-selmo had a fine day at the plate going 2 for 2 with two walks. Christian Miyamae was hit by pitch once and also batted 2 for 2.

The Tigers used five pitchers; its starter – Bryan Bednarski, left early in the second after hitting the lead-off batter and balking over the runner.

It’s time to clarify a few issues regarding the recent San Gabriel City Council election. We question Mr. Liao’s permanent residence, given that two years ago he temporarily rented another residence in the city --- then moved back to his home when he was not successful win-ning his election.

He left the past two city council meetings and did not attend the budget meeting, in order to hold media interviews. We feel that if he was serious about serving, he would put his priorities on the business of the city council, not on his own image.

He has accused those in opposition to him of being racist, which is insulting, and yet typical of when one avoids the facts and plays on emotions. His accusations of racism do nothing to build a sense of community.

In answer to those who have attack questioned the city council making the decision on the qualifications of their members, refer to California Government Code Section 36812, which states “36812. After incorporation, the city council is judge of the qualifications of its mem-bers and of election returns. It shall determine contested elections of city officers.”

'Town Tweets'by Joe Castillo

The Mission Play …… After an absence of 66 years, The Mission Play returned spectacularly to the San Ga-briel Mission Playhouse. The play was originally written by John Steven McGroarty in 1911 and was the primary attraction beginning when the Playhouse was opened in 1927. In an attempt to make the play relevant for today’s audiences, the play was altered to a re-imaged pre-sentation which included a look back in time by a group of young adults going back from the present to 1769. The Mission Play started with the arrival of Span-ish explorers in San Diego, moving north to Monterey Bay and then south to San Juan Capistrano. The prob-lems encountered by the Spanish included the lack of food, sicknesses and their inability to convert the Na-tive Californians to Chris-tianity. It also showed the apprehension of the Natives in welcoming and trusting the Spanish explorers with open arms. And in between the Spanish soldiers and the Native Californians, were the Franciscan Friars, especially Father Junipero Serra. As a matter of facts, The Mission Play is really the Story of Serra, and his drive to bring Christianity to California, while at the same time trying to protect the Native Califor-nians from the abuses of the Spanish soldiers. Director Jonathan Salisbury success-fully brings together all the relevant parties, including a group of time-traveling young adults, to tell the story of the California Missions. Pete Pano, a graduate of UCLA, expertly plays the soft-spoken but fearless Father Serra. Pano solidly captures the essence of Serra and his quest, challenge and faith in trying to Christian-ize the natives. Also, the Spanish soldiers led by ac-tors Luis-Fernandez-Gill, TJ Alvarado, Andrew Puente, Daniel Lupa-Chazan and Ro-drigo Martinez, artfully act out their aggression against the Natives, the Spanish King and the Franciscans. Music and dance by the Spanish, Chinese and Indian dancers added to the enter-taining evening and played well into the storyline of The Mission Play. All four

shows were well-attended, and were a great addition to San Gabriel’s Centen-nial Celebration. The Mis-sion Play at the San Gabriel Mission Playhouse is a great combination which should be re-visited each year just to keep the spirit of the California Missions alive…. Upcoming Events….. Here are some more activities for San Gabriel’s Centennial. On May 18th, Anniversary of the Dedication of La Laguna de San Gabriel Playground will take place at 2:00PM. In June, Arts & Culture will recognize the San Gabriel residents who turn 100 in 2013. In July, San Gabriel will celebrate the Youth and Future of San Gabriel with a 4th of July Parade and Kids Day…

Congresswoman Grace Napolitano, U.S. Represen-tative for California’s 32nd congressional district, at-tended the Grand Opening of Foothill Family Service’s new El Monte South Family Center on April 2, 2013.

After taking a tour of the facility and hearing about the programs and services being provided to children and fami-lies in El Monte and South El Monte from Foothill Family’s counselors and therapists, Napolitano joined Foothill’s Chief Executive Officer Helen Morran-Wolf in the ceremoni-al ribbon-cutting, after which both Napolitano and Morran-Wolf addressed the roomful of guests and other political representatives.

As co-chair of the Congres-sional Mental Health Cau-cus, Napolitano has hosted Congressional briefings on children’s mental health. Of particular interest to Foothill Family Service is Rep. Na-politano’s Mental Health in Schools Act, which aims to provide youth with the mental health services they need by increasing federal funding for therapists and mental health services in schools.

Napolitano thanked Foothill Family Service for providing mental health and social ser-vices to children and families in the greater El Monte area, and presented Morran-Wolf with a Congressional Certifi-cate of Recognition.

With Foothill Family cur-rently offering its services in 46 El Monte-based schools, the agency also received cer-tificates of recognition from the El Monte School District, Representative Judy Chu, Assemblymember Ed Chau, the City of El Monte, the El Monte/South El Monte Cham-ber of Commerce, and Sena-tor Ronald Calderon among others.

The El Monte South Fam-ily Center is located at 11204 Asher Street in the city of El Monte and currently serves clients from the cities of El Monte, South El Monte and La Puente. Through its Early Head Start and Wraparound Programs Foothill Family Service provides early child development services consist-ing of high quality educa-tional, health, mental health, nutritional, social and family support services to infants, toddlers, pregnant women, and

their families.Foothill Family Service

has been providing services to children and families in El Monte for more than 10 years. In addition to the Early Head Start and Wraparound Programs available at the El Monte South Family Center, Foothill provides Mental Health Services, Early Child Development, Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment, Domestic Violence Prevention and Treatment and Teen Parent Families and Youth Develop-ment at five additional sites, including the El Monte Family Center, located at 11429 Val-ley Boulevard in El Monte, and in Duarte, Pasadena and West Covina.

Foothill Family Service fulfills its mission to build brighter futures – empowering children and families in our community to overcome chal-lenges and achieve success in relationships, school and work. Last year, approximate-ly 21,000 clients benefited from Foothill Family Service’s life-changing services. For more information, please call (626) 564-1613 or visit www.foothillfamily.org.

Claudia Carson’s first grade class at Cherrylee School recently did their annual outdoor nature study at Peck Park. Tenth grade biology students from Rio Hondo Prep hosted stations on fossils,

feathers, recycling, insects, birds, and other nature sub-

jects. The first graders were divided into teams of four or five students and rotated through the stations. Stu-dents learned how to identify vertebrate and invertebrate animals, looked for insects

and identify them, and used toothpicks to dislodge choco-

late chips (dinosaur bones) from cookies (fossils) as if they were paleontologists. A concluding activity the group observing and feeding the ducks on the pond at Peck Park.

The guy hit a home run...so?

Big Tony’s been out on a date...Peterson has actually picked up a check after din-ner...El Monte played USC in basketball...Anything can happen once, but it does not mean they will happen EVER again.

After starting the season 0 for 15 Dodger shortstop Jus-tin Sellers put one over the fence in left field on Sunday. Even with that happening...I still say dump him.

Bring Dee Gordon back up and get him MLB at-bats while Hanley Ramirez is on the disabled list. Can Gordon be any worse at the plate than Sellers?

Note to all you Stat Guys: In regards to Sellers fielding abilities, you were the ones that told me fielding doesn’t matter.

Seeing Sellers come to the plate, in fact seeing Sellers, Luis Cruz, Juan Uribe, or Mark Ellis come to the plate

is like reliving my worst F.P. Santangelo nightmares...

After Monday night’s NCAA basketball final I’m proud to announce, for the third straight year, that all of my tournament brackets were perfect.

If you are interested in the system I’ve worked out send a check, signed, for $10,000 to the offices of the Mid Val-ley News. Upon clearance of the check, I will contact you immediately with my guaran-teed sure fire system that will bring you success...

Bill Reno...you may not know who he is...but the dude is a stud and was immensely helpful at the Arcadia Invita-tional for the Mid Valley staff this past weekend.

Before finding Reno on Friday I walked around so much that my time eventually appeared on the results board in the 1,600 event.

I’d like to see Matt Leinart get a back up gig in Seattle...And I would really like to see

him lining up behind center when the Rams come to town next fall.

Note to Rams: Don’t draft another wide receiver, draft a safety, linebacker, offensive lineman...oh and maybe a running back.

I don’t care about the Lak-ers.

But I’m happy for the local professional alma mater of Benoit Benjamin, Lancaster Gordon, Michael Cage, and Junior Bridgeman.

Does anyone out there know or remember who Brian Winters was?

If I’m Jerry Tarkanian, I turn down my induction to the Basketball Hall of Fame...They need him a lot more than he needs them.

“Of all the roles I’ve played, none has been as fulfilling as being a mother.” ---Annette Funicello Austin Georgen threw five

innings and Joey Harmon came on to pick up the save as Arcadia beat Glendora 4-1 Wednesday night to win the Arcadia Invitational.

Arcadia jumped out to the early four run lead and never allowed Glendora a chance to get off the floor. For Har-

mon it was his debut after coming back from an ACL injury sufferred last year in football.

Georgen yielded just one run and two hits (both doubles) while striking out seven over five solid innings to eventually earn the vic-tory as Harmon came on to pitch a save for the Apaches. Harmon relieved a waver-ing Jonathan Hopkins in the sixth and got a bounce-out

up to shortstop Cam-eron Tuck who came through with a crucial force-out at second to null the threat.

Georgen had earlier overcame pressure when Glendora led off the second getting runners on second and third without an out, by responding with three consecutive strikeouts to extin-guish the threat.

Brendan Toy led off the opening stanza with a double and advanced to third on

David Dominguez’s sacri-fice bunt before Troy Resch drove him in on a blast to the alley for a double as Arcadia

struck paydirt first. Glen-dora committed three infield errors that inning, one of which (on a poke to short by Tuck) allowed Resch to score for a 2-0 lead.

Dominguez made it 3-0 in the second by singling in Toy. Fernando Rosales then led off the third with a double and sailed home as Jason Bunch ripped an RBI single to round it out for the Apaches.

Eric Flores led off the fourth with a double and

was ran for by Jake Nelson, who was flown in by Gar-rette Ouellete on a fly-out to center which got Glendora on the board. Flores was also effective in holding the Apaches at bay with three shutout innings, one hit, and two walks. Scott Burke was tagged with the loss.

The Apaches beat Los Osos, West Torrance and La Canada before taking care of Glendora to win the Tourney title.

Former San Gabriel assis-tant Matt “The Suave One” Lopez has agreed to join Bill Zernickow’s coaching staff at San Dimas High School.

“It just feels like a really good fit and I’m excited,” says Lopez who will work with the wide receivers.

“They’re always in the run-ning for a ring and that was a factor.”

Lopez, a Temple City alum, served a long stint working through the ranks of the Rams program before joining the SG staff under Jude Oliva in 2010.

With Oliva’s departure as

Matadors HC in December Lopez had many discus-sions and entertained manny offers. Long talks with St. Paul and Maranatha were followed by interviews and offers from San Marino, Cathedral, and eventually San Dimas.

Owners of electric vehicles will soon be able to charge their cars at El Monte City Hall, thanks to an agreement approved on Tuesday by the El Monte City Council. This agreement marks a significant milestone in the Council’s efforts to reduce emissions and improve the environment.

The agreement will allow ECOtality to install one Level III DCFC electric vehicle charging station in the parking lot at City Hall. This charger will be one of the first of its kind within the San Gabriel Valley, demon-strating the City’s commit-ment to encourage clean fuel vehicles.

“I’m so proud that the City of El Monte is one of the first cities in Southern Califor-nia to make this investment in clean technology,” said Mayor Andre Quintero. “It’s important that we have the infrastructure in place to encourage public and private drivers to purchase electric

vehicles, which will reduce our carbon footprint and reli-ance upon oil.”

The City will not incur costs related to the instal-lation or operation of the charging station, as it is part of a program funded through a $115 million grant from the U.S. Department of Energy. For the next five-years, all service and maintenance of the station will be provided by ECOtality.

A lack of adequate infra-structure to charge electric vehicles is a major obstacle to the expanded use of these cars, especially since Level III DCFC “fast” chargers are rare. The DCFC can charge a vehicle in as little as 30 minutes, whereas typi-cal charges can take up to eight hours to fully charge a vehicle. Installation of DCFCs is more costly and complicated due to their ad-ditional equipment require-ments. The investment of a charging station in El Monte is estimated to be $90,000.

The City currently runs compressed natural gas fu-eled buses, as well as several CNG and hybrid pool ve-hicles for conducting day-to-day business.

“With our hybrid City vehicles and CNG buses, El Monte has enjoyed a long history of supporting alterna-tive fuel vehicles and fuel in-frastructure,” said Mayor Pro Tem Norma Macias. “This will be a great investment in green technology for all those making an investment in electric vehicles.”

ECOtality Inc. has been in the electric transporta-tion and storage business since 1989 and is a recog-nized leader in the research, development and testing of alternative transportation and energy systems. ECOtality has built over 200 charging stations within Los Angeles and Ventura counties, includ-ing numerous city halls, libraries, Metrolink stations, University campuses and major event centers.

Deputy Rick Adams is the Special Assignment Deputy for Temple City. He has been with LASD for 25 years with the last 17 at Temple Station.

One of the duties of Rick to keep Temple City the 40th safest city in the United States is to spearhead the new and revamped Neigh-borhood

Watch program. The city is broken into 12 areas with 1 area being focused on each month. A free dinner is served and a fast paced pro-gram is led by Rick. They are well attended with between

60 and 90 in attendance.Information is given with

emphasis on homeowner safety, traffic, and crime

trends. Audience participa-tion is always encouraged.

Deputies within the LASD system have not received a pay raise in 5 years. My thought was if a deputy has been with the department for 25 why haven’t they risen to the rank of Sergeant or Lieutenant? Rick gave the answer that with overtime he makes more than the aver-age Sergeant or Lieutenant. Rick is really one of the good

guys who really cares about Temple City. He even has family living here.

hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property.
