1967 Oceanaires, Verle Betts Director


OCE ANAIRES DIRECTORS

MOsEs CHALMErs

1951–1960(9years) MBA’s first music department formed in

1951 with the arrival of Moses and Carleen Chalmers . The couple

were recent music major graduates of La Sierra College, newly

married, and embarking on their first teaching assignment .

Upon arrival to the campus in the autumn of 1951, the two fledg-

ing teachers discovered that their new music building, padded

with bed mattresses, had previously housed incarcerated AWOL

and/or criminal military personnel . Undaunted by these humble beginnings, Moses initiated

an outstanding choral, band, and voice program . He also formed the special choral ensem-

ble-- Oceanaires . Talented Carleen provided full-time professional piano and organ instruc-

tion, rounding out the music teacher duo of Moses and Carleen Chalmers . Today those high

standards are still evident at Monterey Bay Academy .

vErLE bETTs

1960–1968(8years) The life of Verle Betts was full of rich musical

traditions from Plainview Adventist Academy, Union College,

and the Trojans of USC Thornton School of Music . Just before

coming to MBA, Verle had taken Armona Adventist Acad-

emy (CA) to the 1959 Atlantic City Youth Congress, where he

presented the first marching band in the Seventh-day Adventist

denomination . But his first love was for chorale singing and the

ministry of music he built upon at Monterey Bay Academy . Verle’s chorale philosophy was

simply “sing from the heart with one voice in perfectly blended harmony .” He strongly be-

lieved that “music could only be performed from the heart after it was thoroughly embedded

in the mind .” In addition to the strong personal work ethic required to become an excellent

musician, students under Verle’s tutelage learned the values of service, commitment, and

camaraderie . He was a man who had made it his mission to lead youth in inspirational song

and performance, to offer an exceptional music program at Monterey Bay Academy that all

students would aspire to be in .

ArLAdELL NELsON-sPEyEr

1968–1998(30years) Upon graduating from La Sierra College,

Arladell Bond taught choir, voice, piano, and organ at Walla

Walla College and Lodi Academy (CA) . She then married Lowell

Nelson, moved to Montana, taught at Mt . Ellis Academy for

eight years and had three sons . When Arladell arrived at MBA in

the summer of 1968, she planned to just teach piano and voice

lessons half-time . However, Verle Betts decided to retire . Teach-

ing choir and the Oceanaires became such a joy, Arladell knew she wanted to do this the rest

of her life . She recalls, “Elder Voth use to remind us each day to remember why we were there,

to reach each student, to help them find Jesus, and to remind them that they were loved .” She

retired after 30 years to Cool, California and has remained active in music the last 12 years .

Arladell and Fred Speyer, widow and widower, and long-time friends and co-workers at MBA,

were married December 27, 2009 .


OCE ANAIRES DIRECTORS

ANGELICA ECLAr

1998–2003(5years) Angelica was the third Oceanaires direc-

tor to graduate from La Sierra University . As a college student,

she conducted children’s choirs at area churches, was voted

Outstanding Senior, and was the Senior Class Secretary . It’s in-

teresting to note, that Angelica and current Oceanaires director,

Joshua Rivera, sang together during college in La Sierra’s elite

singing choir, Octet . Upon receiving her degree in music educa-

tion, Angelica taught at Orangewood (CA) and La Sierra Academies (CA) prior to arriving at

MBA . She’s been at Escondido Academy (CA) since the fall of 2003 .

TIM HANsEN ’83

2003–2005(2years) Twenty years following his graduation, Tim

Hansen returned to his alma mater in the fall of 2003 to serve

as MBA’s choir and Oceanaires director . Previous to MBA, Tim

taught music at Miramonte (CA), Sierra View Jr . Academy (CA),

and Mountain View Academy (CA) . He received his master’s

degree in music education from Indiana University in 2009 . He

and his wife, Sheri (Ballard) Hansen (former instrumental teacher

at MBA), teach music at Paradise Adventist Academy (CA) and are actively involved in music at

the Paradise Adventist Church . In addition, they teach music at Chico Oaks Adventist School .

The Hansen’s 16-month-old son, Caleb, also keeps them quite busy .

jOsHUA rIvErA ’92

2005–Present(5years) Josh Rivera, a graduate of MBA, sung

under the direction of Arladell Nelson-Speyer as a tenor in

Oceanaires and choir . He went on to study Music Education

at La Sierra University . After spending a year in Spain studying

Castillian (Spanish), he accepted the call to teach at Sierra View

Junior Academy in Visalia, CA . Josh taught there for six years

before returning to his alma mater in 2005 . He has never forgot-

ten the moment when he decided he wanted to teach music . That moment took place his

senior year in the upstairs Oceanaires rehearsal room . Josh loves traveling, art history, early

music ie . Medieval and Renaissance, and most of all, his wife, Heidi, and their two daughters,

Analisa and Alexia .


DR . RICHARD HART

Worship Speaker

DR. RICHARD HART

Dr . Richard Hart currently serves as President and

CEO of Loma Linda University Adventist Health

Sciences Center as well as President of Loma Linda

University and Loma Linda University Medical

Center . He earned his Doctor of Medicine degree

at Loma Linda University in 1970, followed by a

Doctor of Public Health in International Health at

Johns Hopkins University in 1977 . Dr . Hart is Board

certified in preventive medicine .

Dr . Hart has served Loma Linda University since

1972, including serving as Chair of the Depart-

ment of Health Sciences, Director of the Center for

Health Promotion, Chair of the School of Medi-

cine’s Department of Preventive Medicine, Dean

of the School of Public Health, and Chancellor and

CEO of the University .

Dr . Hart’s vision extends beyond the walls of Loma Linda University not only to the local

communities, but to the villages and towns, the hospitals and mission clinics, in the farthest

reaches of our globe . He has served as Chief of Party for a USAID project in Tanzania where he

developed a national maternal and child health program that is still a model for Africa today .

His passion for humanitarian service has led to the development of a variety of programs at

Loma Linda University including, Students for International Mission Service (SIMS) and Social

Action Community Health System (SACHS)—a local low-cost clinic for the medically under-

served . Dr . Hart also serves as president of Adventist Health International (AHI), a manage-

ment corporation established to restore Adventist mission hospitals worldwide .

MBA gave each of our three girls a time for learning, maturing, and establishing their trajectory for life.

Thank you. We are eternally grateful. DICK AND JUDY HART


ALUMNUS OF THE YE AR

Alumnus of the Year

SCOTT NELSON ’88

Scott Nelson, MBA Class of 1988, has led a life

that clearly demonstrates God’s hand and guid-

ance since he left this campus nearly twenty-two

years ago .

Scott went on to graduate from Pacific Union Col-

lege in 1992 and Loma Linda University School of

Medicine in 1996 . He specialized in orthopaedic

surgery . He and his wife, Marni, settled down with

their two sons, Chad and Alex .

But it didn’t take long before Scott was answer-

ing the call to join CURE International, a Christian

non-profit organization, whose mission is to

transform the lives of disabled children through

medical and spiritual healing . This organization

is present in 16 developing countries and has

performed more than 70,000 operations and cared for more than 1 million patients since 1998 .

According to Scott, “Our goal is to give even the most economically challenged patients the

opportunity to have a surgery that is equivalent to what is performed in the best medical

centers in the United States .”

In 2004, Scott and Marni packed up an ocean container and mobilized themselves for a new

life in the Dominican Republic . They live in the inner city of Santo Domingo while Scott serves

as the CURE International medical director for that area and Haiti .

Following the January 12 earthquake in Haiti, Scott arrived less than 48 hours later, prepared

to do all he could . He had operated in Haiti more than 20 times over the past five years and

few people were better suited to the task that was waiting for him . Because he was one of the

first physicians to arrive, he became the lead medical director throughout the intensive first

weeks of this disaster .

Scott Nelson has made a mark on this world . It is now our privilege today to recognize Scott,

on behalf of Monterey Bay Academy and the Seventh-day Adventist Church, for his humani-

tarian contributions, for his faith and service to God, and his loyalty to Adventist Christian

education . For these reasons, we are proud to recognize Dr . Scott Nelson as the Monterey

Bay Academy Alumnus of the Year 2010 .
