Thanks to a great partner-ship between the Mountain View School District (MVSD) and the Youth Science Cen-ter, 85 GATE (Gifted And Talented Education) students from MVSD have spent the past three Saturdays engaged in art, science and anatomy during the Spring GATE Institute.
Students are able to gain educational enrichment by participating in the institutes. Eager to enhance their skills and showcase their passion for learning, the participants didn’t mind spending their Saturdays in school. Helping the students explore Astrobi-
ology is Dr. Richard Shope, a professor at U.C. Irvine and research consultant for JPL who introduced the students to the study of planetary ele-ments and their physiological differences. Mrs. Cati Garcia, YSC instructor, is teaching “From Head to Toe” a class on Human Anatomy and An-thony Tanaka is providing in-struction in web design where students have the opportunity to create a website using the latest techniques and software in graphic designing. Local renowned artist and MVSD employee, Dolores Haro is teaching “Principles of Art” and providing students the

See you soon, someplace, AROUND TOWN.
I was confused, sad, and angry at one of my closest friends. I refused to speak to her for months; therefore, she never understood why I was so upset. Finally, I told her everything. I understood that nothing could happen if I didn't say something. I understood that my voice was important. We're now at peace with each other because of a mutual under-standing.
"Your voice matters" was my slogan for my freshman presidential campaign. I wanted to create an environ-ment where my classmates can be comfortable with their
opinions in class meetings. I aimed for the opportunity to listen to their needs, making the first year of high school harmonious.
The First Amendment of the United States Constitu-tion calls for five freedoms: religion, petition, assembly, press, and speech. Speech is one of our most impor-tant freedoms. In the United States we are legally allowed to speak out our thoughts because two hundred years ago, a group of men knew one thing: that our voice was important. We should use this wondrous opportunity to our advantage. For example,
most Communist countries are strict in their freedom of speech, from having little to none at all. In the United States if you have an opin-ion, you can start a petition, film a video, or share it online!
So simply take the time to say your thoughts, so bridges can be built and tensions released. Each individual thought can benefit thou-sands of lives. Your voice is an instrument of peace, whether through a whisper, or a scream! But how would you know how powerful your voice is, if you just zip your lips?

On the road to college, that’s where Madrid Middle School students are, and to support that journey the school recently held its an-nual College Planning Family Night.
“This is our 8th year part-nering with Rio Hondo Col-lege for our College Planning Night,” said Bonnie Tanaka, Madrid’s principal address-ing the crowd. “Tonight you will have the opportunity to hear information to help prepare your child for college. You will also learn tips and strategies that will help you as you get ready to support your child’s college dreams.”
Those in attendance enjoyed a preview of a video for the website CaliforniaColleges.edu which featured students from Madrid and Kranz Intermediate School. The full length video will be launched online in the near future and offers insight into college and career planning in California.
On hand to provide infor-mation on the two and four
year college systems, finan-cial planning, high school requirements, college entry requirements, entrance exams and financial aid opportuni-ties were representatives from Pasadena City College, Rio Hondo College, Mt. View High School, El Monte High School, Upward Bound, THINK Together and Califor-niaColleges.edu.
Students set to enter high school next fall were encour-aged to plan their class sched-ule for college entry.
“I know many of you have been thinking about college for a while and now that you are graduating 8th grade and entering high school you need to start lining up your college prep courses and try your best to get good grades because colleges look at your grades and involvement from all four years of high school,” said Maribel De Leon, from Rio Hondo College. “Even though college is 5 years away, the work begins now,” she said.

When we all are crav-ing the best fish tacos, who do we think of? You do not have to look far as many restaurants do carry fish tacos in many different types and styles. I came across a new restaurant that has just opened up recently called El Ruizenor Grill. The owners of this wonderful restaurant are Vincent Ruiz, and Norma Perez. They both have 19 years of extensive manage-ment skills in the restaurant business and they both own two other restaurants called Chanos, one residing in San Gabriel and the other in El Monte. Their passion for El Ruizenor Grill was to create a more refine setting with more dishes from their Oaxa-can Mexico region, where
they grew up. I had to sam-ple the fish tacos since I saw the café style sign outside the front door that mentioned them at a special price. This restaurant that has opened up in our own back yard has not only fresh fish tacos in two different styles, but also the best mole I personally have ever had!
As I am sitting in my com-fortable seat and beautifully cleaned table with chips and salsa (which I love already), and I was overhearing many people coming in to order fish tacos to go. As many of our readers know, we have been asking for over the last month or so in our Mid Valley Newspaper, to let us know who your favorite fish taco restaurant is. Well, I
have found mine, right here at El Ruizenor Grill. The two fish tacos that I chose were prepared very nicely. The first fish taco came out with its warm fresh tortilla, and fish that was grilled perfectly without being too mushy. I was pleasantly surprised that there was no fishy taste at all. I have been to other more expensive restaurants but the quality has never been this good. What a joy to be eating this moist fish taco with not too much dressing and just enough cilantro and cab-bage to cut through the moist meat with added texture. Without question the best grilled fish taco I have tried in many years. I work myself to the second fish taco which comes out fried with the same dressing with cilantro and fresh cabbage. Fresh tor-tilla, crisp fish, and so fresh, what could you ask for more. Ask Norma for her two hot sauces that will complement any dish they prepare for you. By the way, they are one of the few restaurants that will go out of their way to accommodate any differ-ent food combinations for their customers. Come in and see why people from all over are raving about the quality and the attention to detail El Ruizenor Grill has given them, and do not forget the fish tacos and Mole dishes, you will love them.

" The Sea Rebel "A Floating United
Nations• Dwain C. Crum •
I've often heard cruise ships called a floating United Nations. This is certainly true of the ship that I am now on, the Pacific Princess. Cruise Director Peter Rob-erts was kind enough to give me the information that this article is based upon.
First, you have the pas-sengers themselves. They come from all over the United States as well as from countries all over the world. During the first segment of the 2013 World Cruise of the Pacific Princess (from Ft. Lauderdale, Florida to Syd-ney, Australia) the passen-gers came from 20 different countries. Of the ship's 607 passengers, over half (342 to be exact) were Americans. Next came the Canadians at 99. In fact almost every cruise that I've been on has
had a high number of Cana-dians (Do any of them actu-ally stay in Canada during the winter?). Third was the Australians with 67, many of which left the ship when we reached Sydney. Fourth came the Brits with 45, fol-lowed after a large gap by the Germans with 13 and the Swiss with 9. The other 14 nations represented all had 4 or less (Texans were counted as Americans but I'm not sure they should be!).
Second, you have the crew. On the Pacific Princess, they are even more diversified than the passengers. They come from 32 different na-tions. Of the ship's 380 crew members, 137 are Filipino (including my current cabin stewart, Reynaldo). Then there are 50 Indians (many of which, like Charles, my
for-mer cabin stewart are from Goa). Third place was a tie with 22 Brits and 22 Indonesians. The Italians came in 5th with 18 (including Captain Andrea Poggi). Four of the ship's top six officers are Italian. The other 27 nations number from 14 down to just 1 (Vlade, who serves my breakfast most mornings is the only Macedonian on the ship).
It is always great to see how well everyone gets along on ships like these despite the differences in language, religion and culture. A floating United Nations without all of the real world's problems.
United Nation Aboard the Curise ship. All of the different countries that represented the different nation. See the article for the break down. Very fascinating. Just a few of the nation that are in the United Nation organization. See above illustration.

'Time Jockey' The Wistaria Vine
by Joe Castillo
World Record …. For years I had heard about the Wistaria Festival in Sierra Madre and the old vine that it was named after. How-ever, I had never seen the plant or even knew what all commotion was about. This year I decided to spend a hazy afternoon finding out for myself just what Wistaria was all about. And boy was I surprised! Located in the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains, in the quaint town of Sierra Madre, lives one of the Seven Horti-cultural Wonders of the World. It takes two private residences on West Carter Avenue in Sierra Madre to house the beautiful and vast Wistaria Vine. The vine is estimated to weigh 250 tons, and has branches that extend to 500 feet. At its peak, the vine grew to cover nearly one acre in overhead cover-age. Originally purchased in 1894 by Alice Brugman from a one gallon container purchased for seventy-five cents, the vine was planted because of its fast growth. In 1906, Brugman sold the home and in 1913 Henry and Estelle Fennel purchased the property. Fennel was somewhat of a horticultur-ist and loved his Wistaria Vine so much that he built a series of support trellises to sustain the vines growth. The elevated support structure allowed the Wistaria to grow at an accelerated rate and the blooms were allowed to hang over the edges of the Arbor rather than accumulate and increase in weight. However, the vine’s rapid growth rate grew into the house’s walls, fireplace and structure caus-ing the roof to collapse from the excessive weight. The home was knocked down and a new one was rebuilt to the North of the destroyed home, but this time the vine was trained not to extend toward the house but rather over the support trellises. When the Wistaria was in full bloom, the Fennels invited their friends over to sit and admire the beauty of the Wistaria. In 1918, the Fennels allowed the local Red Cross to use their home for a fundraiser to support the war effort and over 12,000 people attended the event. This was the first event which later evolved
into the annual Wistaria Fes-tival. Later on, the vine was used as a back drop for Eas-ter Sunrise services and over 30,000 people attended the event. Celebrities like Janet Leigh, Mary Pickford and Norman Rockwell were in attendance. Over the years, the property was sold to new owners but each owner con-tinued to care and manage the massive vine. During this time, property was split and sold, and the vine was now located on two separate prop-erties. Even when it looked like the vine was in danger of not being maintained or be-ing removed, the community stepped up and raised funds to support and protect the vine for generations to come. The Guinness Book of World Records named the Vine the world’s largest flowering plant. It is estimated at the height of the bloom season, the Wistaria Vine will have over 1.5 million blooms. I’m told that this year was an extremely bountiful year and indeed all those who viewed the Wistaria Vine will un-derstand why it is one of the Seven Horticultural Wonders of the World….

Seeing Stengel Field is worth taking a drive to Glen-dale. It's not your typical high school baseball field al-though the Crescenta Valley Falcons do call it their home.
It has more of a small col-lege feel. The field is well manicured, and is set down below the bleachers, which circle the stadium. Also there is a great view of the foothills beyond the left field wall.
It seems like every time I cover a high school baseball game lately there is a Temple City little leaguer popping up. The latest one was Austin Georgen, who twirled a three hit shut out for Arcadia Saturday at Stengel Field. Georgen, who played at Live Oak Park for the the TCA Red Sox, kept La Salle off balance the entire afternoon, striking out seven while throwing a complete game.
The Apaches lost in the semi finals to Northview in the Dick's Sporting Goods Tournament but has won four of its first seven games. They were shut out by 1-0 by the Vikings and also were
blanked by Burroughs. “We've had some trouble
scoring runs here lately. That's why it was good we were able to get out and score some runs early today,” said Arcadia Coach Nick Lemas after the 4-0 win over La Salle.
The Apaches will finish up the Babe Herman Tourna-ment this week before con-tinuing with Pacific League play Friday at Muir.
Monrovia, undefeated coming in, was tripped up at La Canada Friday 2-1. The Wildcats have already knocked off Temple City and St. Francis and pounded Montebello 16-2 earlier this month in the Arcadia Elks Tournament, which made the loss to the Spartans all the more surprising. La Canada, who also beat Crescenta Val-ley in the season opener may surprise a few people in the Rio Hondo.
It might be a tough year for the Mission Valley League. The combined record of the MVL so far is 8-23. Only South El Monte and Mt. View have won more than
one game and Gabrielino (0-5) is still on the outside looking in.
Rosemead's Steven San Miguel is off to a hot start however. The senior short-stop is hitting .375 with two home runs, six RBIs and six runs scored in the first six games. The Panthers beat Gabrielino 9-4 Friday in its only league game.
The best area baseball be-ing played right now is in the Valle Vista. Not one team in the league has a losing record and the combined records of the top four teams - Nogales, Northview, Baldwin Park and San Dimas- is 24-4.
Nogales, undefeated at 6-0, has shutout two of its oppo-nents, including Temple City and outscored opponents La Quinta and Azusa by the combine score of 34-2. The win over Temple City was number 600 of his career for Nogales Coach John Ro-mano.
Northview's only loss was to South Hills in the Finals of the Dick's Sport-ing Good Tournament. The Vikings opened the season

Steven San Miguel (2 for 4, two runs, 3 RBI, HR) capped a riveting five run rally in the top 6th with a three run bomb that went beyond the right field fence, and band room, to lift Rose-mead to a 9-4 victory over Gabrielino in the Mission Valley League opener for both teams.
San Miguel was one of five Panthers chipping off multiple hits, as Jacob Garcia, Dominic Salas, and Matthew Campos all went 2 for 4. Armani Garcia led the way going 3 for 5 with two runs, 2 RBIs, and two doubles.
Brandon Herrera started
for Mead on the hill and delivered a quality outing with a shutout going into the fourth, but couldn't make it out of the fifth as Gabrielino rallied to tie the score 4-4 with three in the frame.
Anthony Herrera tossed the final seven outs (2 1/3s innings) scoreless, issuing three hits, three strikeouts, and one walk to earn the win in relief. Herrera also scored a run at bat and stole two bases.
Cole Hoffman led the Eagles at the plate, going 3 for 3 with two runs and a triple. Danny Meza Richard Lopez

The Dodgers rank second among National League clubs with both a .281 team batting average and a .348 on-base percentage. Los Angeles leads the league with 27 steals in 37 attempts this spring.
Prospect Yasiel Puig ranks second among NL players with a .450 batting average, is third with 18 hits, places sixth with a .675 slugging percentage and is tied for third with 11 runs scored.
Dee Gordon leads the NL with six steals and is tied for fifth on the circuit with seven walks.
The Dodgers have been active in the international free agent market in the
past year and yesterday signed a trio of Dominican amateurs; shortstop Dennis Santana from San Pedro de Macoris, shortstop Carlos Aquino from Santiago and left-handed pitcher Cesar Romero from Santo Do-mingo.
Anything special about San Pedro de Macoris?
Try Dodger great Pedro Guerrero along with; Rico Carty, Robinson Cano, Tony Fernandez, and Sammy Sosa to name a few.
Kershaw will be on the mound when the Dodg-ers open the 2013 regular season on April 1 against the Giants,

FANVIEWBy Joe Torosian
Oh, I’ve always been an An-tawn Jamison fan...
Is the World Baseball Classic still going on? Don’t take that as a negative towards baseball, I think I may have found my way back to the grand old game...I’m just not jazzed by the WBC.
Last Add WBC: Mets third baseman David Wright was tearing it up for God and before straining a muscle so he left the United States team...I guess God and Country don’t get theirs before the Major League Baseball season...
...And that’s the rub. I would be surprised if the United States ever wins this deal because its not the same as the MLB season. It’s not the same as the World Series...But to Japan, Taiwan, Australia, the Netherlands, Italy, and every place else on the globe it is the golden chalice.
So...yawn...With so much to see, so many things happening from the Lakers to the Kings, to NFL free agency, and the hollow shell of what used to be the great game of college basketball...who cares about an exhibition where most of the players from the key country involved see it as nothing more as an exhibition...Yawn again...
“I know what you are up to Joe,” former El Monte boys bas-ketball HC John “Rat Dog” Gil-lette told me a few years ago when I asked for his NCAA tourney Final Four picks. “You just want me to go on record so you can bad mouth me when I get it wrong.”
...Pegged...I do still enjoy the tournament,
I just wish I knew the players...There was a time, besides block-ing out my schedule for the open-ing two days of the tournament, that myself, Peterson, and Bad News Barker knew the starting line ups of half the teams.
I don’t anymore...Life hap-pens...Bad basketball happens...one and done happens...
Give me Gonzaga, give me a mid-major, or give me Tom Crean and Indiana...I have always been a Hoosier fan...
Don’t believe me? You want the starting lineup from the 1976 undefeated team?
Last week I made a comment about Kurt Scoby when specu-lation was circulating that the premier running back was going to end up at Monrovia.
That was not intended to be a slam on Scoby. All I know about Kurt Scoby is that he’s gone from Charter Oak to Duarte to St. Paul and left the Swordsmen for an-other school in the middle of the season. That’s not good.
What I said was Monrovia does not need Scoby, they don’t. But Scoby sure could use a place like Monrovia where an experienced, solid, coaching staff would be a positive influence on him.

Austin Georgen threw a three hit, complete game shutout and Arcadia got all the runs it needed in the first two innings in a 4-0 whitewash of La Salle Sat-urday at the Babe Herman Tournament.Georgen struck out seven, and did not walk a batter while going the distance. The only hits off of the senior were a bunt single in the first, and infield single in the fifth and a double in the seventh. But each time Georgen threw the pitches he needed to get out of trouble. The Lancers had runners at second and third in both the first and sixth in-nings but came away empty.“He did a really good job today. In a game that we really needed somebody to step up and give us a quality start he did that,” said Arca-dia Coach Nick Lemas. “He did a good job throwing his breaking ball and locating his fastball.”The Apaches, who have scored just one run in their last two games, got an early jump on La Salle. In the first ininng, Georgen helped himself with a base hit to left field and Brandon Kim came in to run for him. Kim then moved around to score on a wild pitch after Fernando Rosales and Jason Bunch walked.The one run was all Georgen needed, but the Apaches added a little gravy with three more in the second. Brendan Toy drew a walk and Michael Luna beat out an infield hit. David Domin-guez laid down a textbook bunt to load the bases.
Georgen was plunked by a pitch to force in one run and with two out Rosales hit a shot into left field for a two run single.That was it offensively but with Georgen in control not much else was needed.“It would have been nice to score some more but we were able to get those runs. Fernando hit the ball hard all day and he got that two out hit to give us a four run lead,” Lemas said. “They made a couple of plays and had some guys in the right spot so luckily we were able to get that cushion.”The Lancers threatened to tie or take the lead in the first when P.J. Siberell bunted for a hit and Vincent Alberico was hit by a pitch. But with runners in scoring position Georgen fanned the next two batters.La Salle had runners on second and third with one out in the sixth but Georgen again rose to the occasion inducing two groundballs to escape without any damage.“He does a great job of keep-ing guys off balance and he’s got a funky delivery. He did really well. I’m proud of him,” Lemas added of Georgen.The Apaches had five hits overall but they were able to parlay it into four runs.Jordan Rodgers worked the first five innings for La Salle before giving way to Nick Brown who workd the last two.Arcadia improved to 4-2 on the season and will face Yucaipa Monday night. La Salle droped to 5-2.

In coaching circles when things happen, they hap-pen quickly. In the last 24 hours Pasadena Coach Tim Tucker stepped down as the Bulldogs coach and has been named the new HC at Maranatha. Tim Godley, Maranatha’s head coach for the last five years, resigned Monday paving the way for Tucker’s hiring Tuesday.
“It all happened very
quickly,” said a source at Maranatha.
Pasadena has won nine consecutive Pacific League titles (15 overall) under Tucker and two CIF titles including the last one in 2012. This year the Bull-dogs finished 21-6 overall and advanced to the second round of the CIF Division 1AA Playoffs before being knocked out by Loyola.

Spiritual PoemAll was created tranquil and free,
Because in him love of life eternal majesty, But we pay the penalty of sin that day,
For all have arrived to reality, not a play, All that is lost shall be found by him, So together we pray and not be grim,
He made the atonement and washed away sin,That all who believe may one day come in,
To him be the glory forever and ever, Amen.
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.
EASTER

with three straight shutouts and outscored their first four opponents 36-1. Northview doesn't square off against Nogales until April 30th.
Pasadena's loss is Mara-natha's gain. It was a blow to the Pasadena program that Tim Tucker stepped down as the Bulldogs head coach. As succesful as Tucker has been over the years, (nine consecutive Pacific League crowns, two CIF titles) you started to get the feeling that he would retire at Pasadena. But as PHS mourns the loss, Maranatha celebrates an in-credible hire. The Minutemen basketball could enter into elite status.
If you get a chance, check out “Survive and Advance” on ESPN. It chronicles Coach Jim Valvano and the North Carolina State's incred-ible run to the 1983 NCAA championship.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at
a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder ‘s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the prop-erty. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that informa-tion about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 714-730-2727 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this Internet Web site www.lpsa-sap.com for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number as-signed to this case 20120015002793. Infor-mation about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.
