The El Monte community hosted a delegation of stu-dents from China last week in a partnership to raise aware-ness of other cultures.

The 48 students, age 7-12, from the Harbin Zhongshanlu Primary School spent two weeks in El Monte learning about American language, customs and history and visiting Southern California museums and attractions. The students also attended classes at California State University, Dominguez Hills.

“Hosting the delegation was a fantastic opportunity to learn more about how these Chinese students live, while sharing what is important in our culture,” said El Monte

City Councilman Bart Patel, who was instrumental in ar-ranging accommodations for the students. “It is remarkable to see what the Chinese youth had in common with the chil-dren of El Monte.”

A highlight of the trip was an assembly with El Monte’s Cherrylee School, where students read together, ex-changed gifts, and performed dance and musical numbers. The Chinese students visited classrooms and the library to showcase the Cherrylee school curriculum.

Councilman Patel hopes more delegations will chose to visit El Monte to learn more about our diverse culture.

On March 8th and 9th Columbia University’s his-tory department hosted the conference History in Action: Historical Thinking in Public Life. Professors at academic institutions, museum curator, public historians, and even the former chief of staff for Nancy Pelosi evaluated the future training of doctoral stu-dents and the role and respon-sibilities of historians. James T. Roane, doctoral candidate at Columbia, and Huewayne Watson, recent graduate of Columbia’s Institute for Research in African American Studies, contributed to this conversation by advocating

for the use of history and art to build community. In their panel and exhibit, History in Action: Black Arts Collec-tive in the Land of Joaquin Murrieta, they spoke about their work in Philadelphia and South El Monte and displayed photographs taken by youth from these two cities.

Last fall, as part of South El Monte Arts Posse’s Artists in Residence program, James T. Roane and Huewayne Watson spent two weeks living and making art in South El Monte. During their time here, they worked with students in the classrooms of Ms. Quezada, Ms. Perez, and Ms. Morales to think about the similari-ties between the history of African Americans on the east coast and that of Mexicans on the west coast. After provid-ing students with a history of Africans on the east coast and

the Caribbean, they invited students to share stories they had learned from their par-ents, uncles, and neighbors. The students told James and Huewayne about Joaquin Murrieta, Hicks Camp, the

gang Las Flores, Art Laboe, and Legion Stadium. Armed with an understanding of their distinct, but similar histories, they went to the riverbed, the

supposed hide out of Joaquin Murrieta. At the riverbed they played songs from the days of Legion Stadium, danced and took photographs. In honor-ing the history of both Legion Stadium and Joaquin Murrie-

ta, the students, teachers, and artists constructed a bridge between African Americans on the east coast and Mexican Americans on the west coast.

So often, we hear stories about such tragedies as teenagers that have lost or taken their lives. No matter when it happens or to whom it happens, it hurts in your heart. Parents are not sup-posed to bury their children. Unfortunately, this monster has reared its ugly head into my life.

I had a friend named Lucas and he became a permanent angel just last year. My mom always said that when God has perfected you, He will call you home. Lucas was a special person in his own right. He did not dance to the rhythm of anyone’s beat, just his own melodic orchestra.

Lucas had eyes that were ocean blue and captivating. He stood for what was right, even if he had to stand alone. There was no hesitation in him to go against even “authority figures.” Though every person who knew him had a different perception of him, I simply saw the color of God at its finest.

WEBB'S RULES

Jesus Christ is the real reason;We happily celebrate the Easter Season.

Easter Sunday is in honor of his resurrection;Following Jesus is the right direction.

Easter is the first Sunday after the full moon;

We'll be looking forward to the celebration soon.On that Sunday no one wants to be left in the lurch;It seems that it's one Sunday everybody is in church.

At Easter we think of the Easter egg and the bunny;

It's a meaningful time, not spoiled by money.The Easter eggs are a symbol of life anew;

The rabbits are symbolic of abundant life too.

To the Christians, Easter is a festival that's great;And even the little children can relate.

For with the love of Jesus Christ, we're not afraid;Some places even have a great big parade.

You'll see most women in their Easter bonnet;Some will even have a bird or a flower on it.

It's a great time to be with friends and relation;For it's in Jesus' Name that we have this celebration.

The Arcadia Rotary Club, along with the Tijuana Rotary Club, donated 19 wheelchairs to provide mobility to individu-als that have been confined to their bed or a stationary chair due to illness or accident.

"This joint project between the two clubs was the perfect display of what Rotary is all about," said Arcadia Rotarian Dick Martinez. "The Tijuana club did an outstanding job organizing the event and select-ing the recipients."

Rotary District 5300 donated 14 of the chairs with the Arca-dia club contributing five.

"When I became president of the Arcadia club, I made our mantra "We Can Make a Difference," said Eric Barter. "I am so proud that our wheel-chair contribution has found such needy recipients and can make a difference in each of their lives."

According to Martinez, 11 chairs went to individuals who had lost both legs, had partial amputations or restricted move-ment due to arthritis or per-sonal injury. Four chairs were donated to individuals who had suffered spinal injuries, three chairs were given to women who were seriously injured in an automobile accident and one chair was given to an 11-year-old boy unable to walk since

birth."One of the chairs was given

to a man named Jorge, who spoke five languages, was an attorney and business owner but lost it all when he lost his

legs to diabetes," said Marti-nez. "Another was given to a 16-year-old man who was recently paralyzed from an automobile accident. He received a chair ahead of time and a charity group in San Diego arranged for customized cushioning that will allow him to maneuver around. He has also started a foundation to help others with spinal injuries."

"The gratitude expressed by the recipients, their caregivers and families was overwhelm-ing," said Arcadia Rotarian Tom Crosby, who attended the wheelchair distribution. "It was very emotional with many tears shed."

"To see the response, makes our drive to help those in need even greater," said Barter. "Arcadia Rotary has at least 20 more wheelchairs to deliver this year and help change more lives."

EASTER is celebrated in many parts of the world, and in many various ways. Parades, Mardi Gras, Car-nivals, Sunrise Celebrations and Church services. The new clothes worn on Easter Sunday are a symbol of new life. One of the best knows an Easter symbol is the egg, which has symbolized the return of spring and renewed life. Coloring and decorat-ing eggs is fun for children and adults alike. Who doesn’t like an Easter Egg Hunt? A wonderful time for chocolate!

Have a great Easter; see you soon, someplace AROUND TOWN.

FANVIEWBy Joe Torosian

In my first MLB fantasy draft I acquired Mike Trout, Matt Kemp, and Clayton Kershaw...

Oh, I have always been a Florida Coast Gulf fan...I mean Florida Gulf Coast Col-lege fan...I mean a Florida...you know, this latest flavor of the weekend...

Three years, 15-million, for one of my favorite players of all time, is way too much for the Houston Texans to pay Ed Reed...

So David Garrard last threw a pass in the NFL on Decem-ber 26, 2010. Mark Sanchez has committed 50 turnovers over the last two seasons, and the New York Jets are talk-ing about acquiring Kevin Kolb from Arizona…Yet Tim Tebow is the guy they need to get rid of…

As a sort of fan of the Jets going back to the days of Richard Todd and Matt Rob-inson, its nice to know they are as consistent as the tide.

The rumor of Pasadena Marshall to the Mission Valley League were tough to believe until I was told an argument was made for them to be the seventh team in the MVL.

What division would the proposed “Crescent League” be in if it comes to pass?

Actually we proposed the “Crescent League” about nine years ago right here at the

Mid Valley but we used a dif-ferent name...tact, grace, and decency precludes us from sharing what that name was now...

Next Note Dodgers: Since I’ve platformed dived back into baseball this season I would like to let everyone know that when you see me wearing a Dodgers jersey with “Crawford” on the back that it’s in honor of former Dodger Willie Crawford not current Dodger Carl Craw-ford.

Last Note Dodgers: The last time they had a left fielder with an arm as bad as Carl Crawford’s they ended up winning the World Series...

Expect La Puente to an-nounce its new football HC on Friday...

Last word out of Arcadia is they are still looking...We still stick to our guns in regards to what we said a month ago; a familiar name will end up leading the Apache program.

Schools have no money, no teaching positions avail-able, and varsity head coach-ing jobs to fill...sounds like perfect conditions for the return of Mike Mooney to the sidelines...

I like the idea of Cres-centa Valley in the Rio Hondo League...

Temple City was hit with eight runs in the first two innings and fell to Standley Lake (Colorado) 14-5 Saturday. Standley Lake piled up 14 hits in all including five for exta bases.

The Rams scored in each of the first three innings but it wasn’t nearly enough to keep up with the boys from the Rocky Moun-tains.

Temple City fell to 4-4 overall and will face La Canada on Monday. the Rams are 1-1 in the Rio Hondo League.

La Salle was shutout in the afternoon by Segerstrom but rebounded to rout Whittier in the night cap Saturday at the Whittier Tournament at East LA College. Here’s a recap of the games.

Segerstrom 3 La Salle 0

La Salle man-aged just three hits against Segerstom pitcher Ashley Ramirez and Segerstrom got all of its runs in the first innning for the 3-0 victory.

Ramirez struck out eight and walked only one feasting on the outside part of the plate. Vanessa Dwyer delivered two of the three Lancer hits, on a line single to center in the third inning and the other on an infield single in the fifth. The other hit was a basehit to left by Stephanie Ferri in the sixth.

La Salle’s best shot to score came in the fifth when Lauren Gomez walked, Dwyer beat out an infield hit to the hole at

short and Katherine Knop hit a little blooper than landed in front of the pitcher that she beat out. Beverlee Valerio then hit a shot that appeared to be headed down the right field line. But

with the bases loaded Taylyn Sevilla made a diving stab of the line drive to end the inning.

Paula Damas went the dis-tance for La Salle. After Seger-strom scored three in the first inning, Damas shut them down. She fanned four, walked one and allowed six hits. The three

runs in the first were unearned.In the first, Desiree Lopez

started the inning with a single to left and after another hit Andrea Mendoza reached on an error to load the bases. Brenda

Medina walked to force in one run and Danyelle Espinoza’s fly ball drove another. A ground ball by Jade Hurtado pushed across the third run. And that was it offen-sively for both teams.

Segerstom had runners on base in the third, fourth and sixth innings but was unable to cash in.

La Salle 8 Whit-tier 2

The Lancers jumped out to a 5-0 lead through the first three innings and cruised to an 8-2 win over Whittier. They

got out of the gate quckly with two in the first and coasted from there.

Vanessa Dwyer went the dis-tance for La Salle (five innings) and allowed two runs and four hits. Dwyer also had a key base hit in the three run third inning.

Leading 2-0, Caroline

Virginia Commonwealth doesn't look like such a cool story anymore when it gets blown out by 25 in the third round. Is Shaka Smart still a hot coaching porspect? It's funny how a quick exit in March Madness can turn a coaching genius into a border-line moron.

I like Smart. He's a good coach and I'm sure he's a great guy. But I find it funny when UCLA fans are scream-ing for Ben Howland's head on a stick in favor for a guy like Smart. Howland did take the Bruins to three final fours and has won four conference championships. Ten years ago he was heralded as the saviour and he did deliver with the final fours. Did he suddenly forget how to coach in the last five years. Falling to Min-nesota was a disappointment but Howland guided a team that had two potential starters transfer out (Joshua Smitha and Tyler Lamb) and a season ending injury to another (Jordan Adams) in the PAC 12 Championship game.

How would Howland's re-sume look if Kevin Love and Jrue Holiday had played more

than one year? Who knew that Reeves Nelson would turn into a knucklehead or numer-ous other players that packed thieir bags because that couldn't play for Howland?

No Howland didn't forget how to coach. He was hurt by an NCAA rule (one and done) that does absolutely nothing to help the players or coaches, and he was hurt by lazy play-ers that didn't want to work.

Shaka Smart is the answer? Really? Let's see if you still feel that way when the Bruins get blown out by 25 in the tournament.

There's really only one guy that would be worth looking at to replace Howland. Coach K himself - Mike Krzyzewski. And we all know he isn't go-ing anywhere.

The USC coaching situation isn't ideal either especially with Pitt's Jamie Dixon agree-ing to a ten year extension. I wonder if Jim Ravel...George Raveling is available?

Victor Oladipo? Aaron Craft? Vander Blue? You probably hadn't heard of any of these guys before this past weekend but that's what makes March so mad. The

Harvard win was nice but they were brought back down to earth by Arizona on Sunday. Gonzaga became Gone-zaga and Florida Gulf Coast...yeah the storied program at FGCU is in the sweet sixteen.

Despite what the one and done rule has done to college basketball it's still the best tournament in sports. I Mean really when was the last time you got excited about the first round of the NBA playoffs? The baseball playoffs don't really pick up until the league championship series and and dod we really need ot mention hockey? Yes the NFL play-offs are intriguing all the way through but there's just some-thing about that first weekend of March Madness that grabs you and doesn't let go.

The only thing keeping the NBA interesting right now is the Miami Heat winning streak. Yes, it is easier to win in a watered down league and no I don't think the 2013 ver-sion of the Miami Heat could have carried the 1971-'72 Lakers jocks. But it is difficult to put together this type of winning streak no matter what the sport or league. Every-

Chamber Ambassadors

In the past few weeks, we had the opportunity to host an event with our local school districts, “Principal for a Day”. It was a chance for our Chamber of Commerce members to tour a school campus with a Prin-cipal in the El Monte City School and Union High School District, concluding with a luncheon at the Chamber office where everyone shared their unique experiences.

At the gracious invitation of our newly appointed El Monte City Schools Superintendent, Dr. Maribel Garcia, and our special tour guide, Oscar Marquez, Director of Student Support Services, we were invited to visit four City School campuses to see how lucky our students are to attend such a vision-ary school system. I would like to share with you our thoughts of what we experienced.

Our first stop was at New Lex-ington School which has about 407 students in the grades K – 8. The first impression on every campus that we visited was the cleanliness and organization of the surround-ings. In addition, every student and teacher demonstrated a code of politeness that was refreshing. At Lexington, we met with Mr. Donald Lopreiato, a 19 year veteran of the District. Mr. Lopreiato teaches a class for computer skills for parents, that’s correct parents, so that these parents can be better engaged with

their children’s curriculum. Truly a special and rewarding experience for these achieving parents.

Next, we were off to Por-trero School which has about 900 students. One of the traits that impressed us was the accountability for performance that is in place at every school. The teachers are not only responsible for their perfor-mance, but that of the student’s as well. We were introduced to the AVID (Advancement via Individual Determination) program which is a college readiness and success curriculum for average students. Complemented by the El Monte PROMISE Scholarship program, the City School District is teaching the value of a college education in our elementary schools and the PROMISE is backing it up with available tuition scholarships; what a winning combination!

Perhaps the most “eye-opening” campus we visited was Loma School, a Community Education Center. This campus has about 30 students who are challenged with learning and discipline behavior. Without this school, these students would be lost in their future endeav-ors. The academic curriculum is similar to the other District schools, in addition to instructing the stu-dents on the importance of personal responsibility and organization. It is a valuable alternative to having the

students “drop out” of school.Our final stop was Durfee School

which has about 1100 students in the grades K – 8. This large cam-pus is under the experienced watch of Principal, Dianna Mercado, who is literally everywhere on campus and engaged in the student com-munity. While at Durfee, we sat in on Ms. Sarah Hulse’s Science Class who boasts the highest science scores in the District. We found Ms. Hulse’s class to be focused on the curriculum, but fun as well.

In closing, I would like to ad-dress the culture of accountability of teachers and students that is in place throughout the District. It would be very difficult for any student to “fall through the cracks” in terms of their performance. In the State of California, a academic measure of a school district is the Academic Program Index, where a score of 800 is expected. Nine out of ten schools in our District reached or exceeded this goal, with the one other school at 797. These objective scores represents that the District is performing well in terms of California’s accountability on academic performance. We applaud the efforts of past Superintendent Jeff Seymour and Dr. Maribel Garcia in their dedicated efforts to make the El Monte City School District the best in the State of California.

Rosemead San Gabriel Temple City Rosemead San Gabriel Temple City

'Town Tweets'by Joe Castillo

Bye Bye Bahooka…. One of Rosemead’s unique landmarks closed its doors on March 17th. Bahooka Res-taurant located at Rosemead Boulevard and Lower Azusa will be closed for good after years of serving customers throughout the San Gabriel Valley. Known for its numer-ous aquariums, island décor, tropical drinks and secluded settings, Bahooka’s thrived in the 1970’s and 80’s as a first date and romantic meet-ing place. The exterior of the restaurant was decorated with artifacts such as Navy rowboats, anti-aircraft guns, steam stacks and pier pylons. The interior was decorated with hula skirt lamps, sea-shells, diving gear and tiki figures. It was an image of Tahiti on Rosemead Boule-vard that attracted customers. Since the announcement of its closure, fans came out in droves to have one last drink or take one more journey around the tropical setting. The wait for a table was well over two hours and one night last week seating was discontinued at 7:00PM due to capacity attendance. It didn’t always have the best food but the drinks made up for it. Drinks like a Zom-bie, Blast, Sunrise and Tidal Wave made you feel like you were on a summer vacation on a deserted island. The City of Rosemead does not yet

know what will happen to the property but you can be your last canoe paddle that there will never be another Ba-hooka’s in its place ….Elec-tion Short Notes…. Election Night always brings out surprises. Here are some that I noticed this past election. In San Gabriel, no voting machines or stamp markers were used to record votes. Instead the prose was to fill in the bubbles with a marker pen; I haven’t done that since the 70’s. I guess the city was saving their money to fix the many potholes that are grow-ing in the city. A low turnout for both cities just gives more reason to schedule municipal elections with major national, state and county election dates. I liked Rosemead’s paper distribution of vote results but I liked San Ga-briel’s’ visual display better. To see all the incumbents at the Rosemead City Hall was encouraging to see but to only see one candidate at San Gabriel was disappointing. All in all, both cities did well in managing the elections. It really is good to see democ-racy at work…. Lowering the Tracks… Construction of the Alameda Corridor Trench project is scheduled to begin this week. Years of brush growth along the train route was cleared as a prep to begin construction. I’ve lived in San Gabriel all my life

and have never seen the view along Mission Road looking south toward San Gabriel High School as unobstructed as it was recently. There’s probably 50 plus yards between Mission Road and the fence protecting the high school that I didn’t realize existed until the brush was cleared. Years ago as a Mata-dor at San Gabriel we used to run the Almansor run. The run took us from the baseball field out to Ramona Avenue, south around the golf course and Almansor Park, then east along the train tracks, back to Ramona and then into the south entrance of the high school. It was a 3.5 mile run and it was a killer to run in the heat of the day. Back in the day, the fastest way to run the tracks was right down the middle being careful to step on ties between the rails….

" The Sea Rebel "Kangaroos and Kookaburras

• Dwain C. Crum •

After leaving Auckland, New Zealand the Pacific Princess headed to the land of Kangaroos and Kookaburras --- Australia. The first of the three Australian ports that we would go to was Burnie on the island of Tasmania.

Tasmania is more than just the home of that nasty little creature called the Tasma-nian Devil. Located south of the rest of Australia, it tends to have a cooler climate. I visited the House of Anvers Chocolate Factory. Great chocolate, but the U.S. is out-side of their distribution area. At the Don River Railway Mu-seum I took a train ride from Don Village to Coles Beach and back. It ranked up there with the train rides like the Silverton and the Skunk Train here in the U.S.A. At Stonie's Cafe in Devonport, Tasmania I had lunch in a place that made me think that I was back in the U.S.A. - in the 1950's. Tasma-nia was a pleasant surprise.

Sydney was our second port in Australia. Many regard

Aus-tra- lia’s Sydney Harbor to be the most beautiful harbor in the world. I would have to concur. The Pacific Prin-cess docked in between two of the most famous icons in Australia, if not the world, the Sydney Opera House and the Sydney Harbor Bridge. One of the great cities of the world, and they speak English (sort of). I loved riding their monorail, which sadly they are getting rid of this year. Bondi Beach was like visiting a town along the PCH.

The final Australian stop was Cairns, Australia. Cairns is the gateway to the Great Barrier Reef. One of the Natural Wonders of the World, it would not be wrong to call it the highlight of my visit to Australia. The corals and the fish that live among the coral makes any trip to Australia

worthwhile in and of itself.

I did see a few Kanga-roos during my visit but I actually saw more Kooka-burras (a type of bird) than I did Kangaroos (and I did not see a single Kangaroo in Sydney).

Knop tripled and scored when Stephanie Ferri reached on an error. Katie Smither singled and Megan Reid bunted for a hit and a run scored. After Dwyer shot one into left, Lau-ren Gomez walked to force in another run.

Whittier got two back in the bottom of the third but La Salle broke it wide open in the fourth with three more. Singles by Knop and Paula Damas and a double by Ferri that hit the base of the centerfield wall sparked the rally. Katie Smither also pounded a double to over the head of the centerfielder and Dwyer was hit by a pitch.

Dwyer then mowed down the Cardianls over the final two innings retiring six of the last seven batters she faced.

To me, that is what life is all about; living in such a way that no matter whom you encounter, they will go away with something. Just because we are young does not mean that we don’t have something constructive to deposit. Even though the physical and/or emotional pain is sometimes hard to bear, that is what keeps me sane.

In my own life, I think things are difficult being a teenager. But, it is not until I am faced with examining another’s life, that I am more grateful for my existence. It should never take a person to have their own Lucas experi-ence in order to recognize that everyday should be cher-ished and lived for others as well. It is very important to treat people the way they deserve to be treated, so that we have a great place to live in together.

If you use this Book Marker,

your place you will never lose.
