Monterey Park Group Protests Noise
From Low Flying Air Planes
Monterey Park residents headed for LAX last week
to campaign against the noise of scores of commercial
airplanes that fly over the city and drown out conversations and television sounds as they roar over the city’s
hillsides and canyons.
Anti-airplane noise activist Margaret Leung said
the residents will try to get the LAX management to
change the flight paths of airlines that fly over the city
as they prepare to land or tack off from Los Angeles
International Airport.
More than 50 residents boarded a city-paid bus to
head for a meeting at Los Angeles International Airport/Community Noise Roundtable to see what could
be done. Before embarking on their pilgrimage, Mayor
Mitchell Ing said he hoped that the Roundtable will accept proposed short term and long term solutions to the
airplane noise. Mayor Pro Tem Teresa Real Sebastian, Councilman
Hans Liang and City Clerk Vincent Chang attended.
Rosemead
School
Wins First
Place
Anaheim, CA - Clothing recycler USAgain has announced Bitely Elementary School in Rosemead won
first place in their ninth annual Earth Month Challenge. Across California, 120 schools participated in the challenge and together collected 72,034 pounds of textiles,
which helped prevent 1,080,510 pounds of carbon
emissions.
Earth Month Challenge is USAgain’s annual textile
recycling competition that encourages students to collect clothes and shoes for rewear, reuse, and recycling.
The month-long competition started on March 15th. The winners were chosen based on the total pounds
of textiles collected in the USAgain bin placed at the
school premises.
Principal Jeff Koenig gave credit to the students,
staff, parents, and community members as they routinely recycled clothing. “Nothing warms your heart more
than helping the others and the environment,” said Mr.
Koenig. “We practice habits of scholarly character every day on our campus and in our classrooms, but it is
so rewarding to witness practical applications, such as
this one, of what we want students and the community
to embrace - a heart for caring and service.”

Wanted: Not-So-Nice
City Hall Reporter
By David Barron
If you are not Mr. Nice Guy (like me) I’d like to appoint you my city hall reporter. I’d like to have you ask the hard questions about sometimes funny things,
sometimes unusual things that go on at city hall.
As you may have discovered, reporters can’t really be nice “guys,” because people will ignore them and not answer their phone calls, unless they are really softball
questions.
For example, as your editor, I’d like you to ask this question: “How come the city
council quickly came to a unanimous decision to hire two more police officers and
still have a balanced budget but not allocate $250,000 for a Centennial Rose Parade
float? “
The answer is simple: “Politics.”
A group of people came to the city council to demand police protection because
of the increased number of burglaries in our peaceful town. Some people suspect that
the group of protestors were organized by one or more city council members. This is
a common tactic used by council members and groups wishing to get the council to
act in their direction.
Many years ago, then Councilman Sam Kiang bussed hundreds of Asian seniors
to come in and fill the council chambers to get support for something I don’t really
recall.
Years ago, when a city manager threatened the position of a key Senior Citizen
Center, supporters brought in scores of seniors to fight the battle. The battle was expanded by the presence of “my son the lawyer.”
Another time recently resulted in a number of U.S. Military veterans coming to
the city council to object to paying gym usage fees for their basketball program.
The recent Rose Bowl Float fiasco could have easily been decided in favor of
roses. The lone councilman proposing the float had lost the outside funding he had
envisoned. Evenso, he is in the minority group in the council voting and really can’t
be expected to win many political battles. He should have bussed in supporters waving roses in the Council Chambers.
Maybe the councilman could have won that battle, but he had burned too many
bridges already.
So if you want to be my city hall reporter, here’s a couple of more questions to
ask. But you have to listen carefully. Sometimes you think you hear something but
you need to double check your facts.
For example, the other day, I thought I heard a councilman complain that he was
refused a concealed gun permit. I viewed the video and found that my assumption
was wrong. Apparently, all he was asking was to be able to use the police firing range
to practice using his weapon.
The idea brought back some memories, I recalled that former Councilman Cam
Briglio had once shot up a fish aquarium at a Chinese restaurant in an attempt to stop
a robbery. I don’t know if the fish survived, but I do recall the shooting made lots of
news headlines.

OPINION
Bitely School Wins Prize for
Collecting Unwanted Clothes
Lawmen Leave their
Families to Protect Ours
By Jim Smith
Police Chief, City of Monterey Park
What happened in Dallas is a National tragedy and one that every American
should be upset about. The officers were there to ensure that a group that was protesting not just
specific officer involved shootings, but protesting police officers in general (yes,
even those there protecting their rights to protest).
When the shooting started, the Officers, not only those that were murdered,
but the other officers at the event, immediately went into action to protect the
protesters and other civilians in the area. Some paid​ the ultimate sacrifice and lost their lives. But they didn’t run
from their duty, they didn’t abandon their posts due to the danger, they instead
protected the persons that were protesting them. It is a troubling trend of officers being attacked. This is the most difficult time
in American history to be a police officer. Officers today are under great scrutiny
by the public, the focus of erroneous and often inaccurate reporting by social media and at times, the mainstream media, and facing a pop culture of disrespect for
the law and for those members of our communities that protect us all. Police Officers in the United States do not fear the scrutiny or the calls for
transparency. I would argue that our profession has been more transparent than any other
in government or the public sector for much longer than the word transparency
has been trendy. Police Officers are tasked with taking care of society’s ills, solving problems
they did not create, responding to situations and problems that no one else can
or is willing to take care of. I don’t believe that in the history of American law
enforcement there has been a more trained and better educated work force. The demands on the profession are greater than ever and in many instances
officers remain overworked and under paid for the demands placed on them. However, every day police officers across the country will leave their families to
protect people, that includes people who do not like them and wish to do them
harm. There needs to be a national dialogue on this issue, but more importantly,
there needs to be a community dialogue. Law Enforcement officers take their
jobs seriously. While there are times when an officer is in a position that he/she
feels he must use deadly force, those times are minute when compared to the
millions of contacts made daily in the U.S. by law enforcement officers that go
flawlessly. Editor’s Note: This article was written before the incident in Baton Rouge.

Pokemon Craze Arrives in SGV
The search for digital critters from the mysterious Internet creation, “Pokemon
Go,” has spread to cities and counties throughout the United States where thousands
are involved in the hunt. It has finally arrived in San Gabriel Valley in the form of
scores of people wandering around parks, streets, city halls looking for the prize
catches and gain points.
At Monterey Park City Hall, hundreds of people who would never normally
come near the council chambers and police station, were wandering around the front
lawn and baseball field, ignoring press conferences, baseball games and police cars
departing with the sirens on they persevered in their search. Hunters were also seen
searching for the “Pokeballs” at police stations, hospitals and churches as if they
were trying to find the Internet Holy Grail.
At the Monterey Park city hall lawn, the surreal scene looked more like an adult
Easter Egg Hunt with people scattered throughout the city hall lawn looking down at
their lighted smart phones..
They were looking for the imaginary “critter thing” that starts with downloading
the game from an App store. You can start playing when you have the game in your
smart phone, Ipad or Ipod, anything that has a digital connection, The players hurl
balls to capture Pokemons which could take many forms.
As the players collect these Pokemon they earn points which allow them entry
into higher levels of the game. The Pokemon Go game is so popular that it has surpassed many other games and social media with record downloads.
Over the course of the competition, Bitely Elementary School collected 2,769
pounds securing the first position and was closely followed by McPherson Elementary School, Napa and Killybrooke Elementary School, Costa Mesa securing second
and third positions, respectively.
“Congratulations to all of the participating schools for their impressive work.
It’s great to see schools so enthusiastic about the competition, and we hope it has
inspired them to be keen recyclers,” said USAgain CEO, Mattias Wallander. “Reusing and recycling resources are the best ways to begin building a more sustainable
environment.”
Wallander noted that 11 million tons of all unwanted clothing in the U.S. is
thrown into the trash and buried in landfills each year, according to the U.S. EPA.
Nevertheless, the 15 percent of clothing that does get a second life is equivalent to
taking one million cars off the road for a year.
USAgain offers educational resources and other tools that help schools learn
about the impact of textile recycling. All participating schools will earn funds based
on the pounds collected. USAgain is anxious to share their successes with the broader
community with the hope that it will inspire other schools to reinvigorate or initiate
their recycling programs.
USAgain, a leader in the textile recycling industry since 1999, is a for-profit
company that collects clothing, shoes and other textiles. Its mission is to provide consumers with a convenient and eco-friendly option to rid themselves of excess clothing, which is diverted from landfills and put back into the use-cycle, saving natural
resources. USAgain offers fundraisers for schools and non-profits through recycling
programs. USAgain maintains more than 10,000 collection bins in 15 states and has
an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau. For more information, visit www.usagain.com to learn more and locate a recycling container near you.

End of Season
Brings Many
Changes to
Prep Sports
Looking back at one
of the highlights of the
high school sports season
for 2015-16 is Montebello High School boys
varsity baseball team who
had a “storybook season”
as the team played in the
California Interscholastic
Federation (CIF) Southern Section Championship semi-finals for the
first time in 54 years.
The excitement grew
so much during the season that Montebello Head
Coach Manny Arana said
at the CIF semi-final playoff game that Montebello
hosted and lost, Montebello fans were tailgating
on the street by the baseball field. He said students,
staff, and many alumni
came out to support the
team. “Our players and
coaches really appreciate
the support on campus
and in the community,”
said Arana, who is in his
16th year as coach and
third year as head coach at
Montebello High School.
“Every coach
dreams about this type of
season,” continued Arana.

“The ride was awesome
for everyone. Our team is
young, there are a lot of
sophomores. Montebello
only has three seniors who
recently graduated. Their
name and college they
will be a student athlete in
a few weeks are Christian
Beltran, Cerritos Community College, Adam
Richie, University of
La Verne, and Edjar Velasquez, Compton Community College.”
Montebello played
rival El Rancho in the
CIF playoffs quarterfinals, winning 4-2 before
what Arana said was a big
crowd that sparked a lot
of interest in baseball. Velasquez was the winning
pitcher, right fielder Noel
Fuerte scored two runs
and had two runs batted
in, and left fielder Marta
Esparza was 3-3 at the
plate to lead Montebello. Arana said he is glad
this shouldn’t just be a
one-season wonder as
there are many freshmen
and sophomores on the
team to help it keep the
success continuing.
Arana said Montebello developed an overall
great team chemistry and
had a goal to win Almont
League and two games in
the playoffs. Montebello
posted a 14-1 record in
Almont League play to
win its second straight
championship and then
won all the way in the CIF
Championship Playoffs
until losing in the semifinals. He emphasized
the team’s overall record
was 21-12, the first season
winning 20 or more games
in many years. “Our preseason was pretty tough to
get ready for league and
playoffs,” stated Arana.
“We learned from tough
opponents to help us get
better.”
* * * * *
There appeared to be
more high school coach
jobs than usual available
after this past school year.
For example, Alhambra
(also looking to hire junior varsity and frosh
coaches), San Gabriel,
Cantwell Sacred Heart.
Rosemead, Gabrielino and
El Monte started searches
for a new girls basketball
head coach. Rosemead
and San Gabriel also had
available new head coach
jobs in soccer and volleyball, and Rosemead also
had open a boys and also
girls head coach positions
in wrestling.
Coaching has become basically a year
around job in high school
except for a three weeks
rest time required by California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) Southern
Section, and coaches are
only paid during their season of sport, for example,
basketball coaches are
NOT paid usually from
March or whenever they
are finished with their season until October. Coaches give of their
time for practice, planning season schedules and
working with athletic directors to schedule games,
get snacks for fundraisers
and organize that and other fundraisers, and more.
And at public schools the
students that come to the
school are the ones that
make up a team. Private
schools have the luxury
of recruiting students for
academics and sports.
So the next time you
see a coach say hi and
think about simply saying
a sincere thank you for
giving these young people
an opportunity to be part
of something that means
a lot to the students, and
especially the “lower
level” coaches that coach
freshmen or frosh soph or
junior varsity who are so
important in helping the
younger students to learn
skills for that sport while
enhancing the student’s
respect, sportsmanship,
integrity,
accountability, loyalty, determination,
teamwork,
improving
their health and more.

Comparing the U.S. Presidential Candidates
By G. Monty Manibog
(Editor’s Note: Former Monterey
Park Mayor Monty Manibog is a regular
contributing columnist offering legal tips
as well as his perspective on high profile
legal issues and events.)
The Donald Trump name has created a lexicon of it own as the name has
pervaded universal conversations with
wide-ranging speculatios to its effect on
the presidential ambitions and prospects
of his own as well as those of former first
lady, secretary of state and U.S. Senator
Hillary Rodham Clinton.
There appears little question as to
Clinton’s experience, background and
qualifications for the highest office in the
land. Donald Trump’s successes in the
business world also fortify his own background and ability to effectively steer
our Ship of State through rough waters

he pledged in his announcement for the
presidency.
There will be those who will prefer
Hillary with her experience in government and politics, both domestic and international, while others will lean toward
the dizzying experiences and successes
of Trump in the business world.
This divide among the electorate appear to be a close one and the constantly
changing poll numbers give us no clear
indication whether it will be a President
Trump or a President Clinton.
Take your pick folks – business and
commercial predominance or domestic and free world political leadership.
The alternative prospects between both
candidates creates an interesting divide
among the electorate and the constantly
changing opinion poll numbers do not
currently give us a very strong indication
of which way the strongest political wind
will blow.
Just keep your hat on, or your skirt,

Assemblyman Presents
Annual Parks Pass to
Vet’s Advocate
MONTEREY PARK – Today, Assemblymember
Ed Chau (D–Monterey Park) presented to local constituent and veteran, Peter Aston, with a California
Explorer Vehicle Day Use Annual Pass that was donated by the California State Parks Foundation. The
pass was presented to Peter Aston for his advocacy
on AB 1972, which would allow disabled veterans
to receive the Distinguished Veteran Pass, regardless
of whether the disability is related to military service
during wartime or peacetime.
“While we can never properly thank members
of our military for all they have done, I believe that
we should honor those who were disabled during
their time of service by granting them access to our
beautiful state parks at no cost,” said Assemblymember Ed Chau. “I want to thank Peter Aston for bringing this issue to my attention and look forward to
helping all other veterans like him with the passage
of this legislation.” The California State Parks currently offers the
Distinguished Veteran Pass, which is a special and
free lifetime pass for qualifying veterans, to use all
basic facilities in state parks at no charge. Plumbing

Healthy Lifestyle:
Strength Training
Targets Muscles
By Sheila Yonemoto, P.T.
Strength training targets muscle. It stimulates the body to
add more muscle fibers in a muscle unit, making it easier to produce more power in a single contraction. Lifting weights stimulates
the muscle by giving it a bigger load than normal. This tells the
brain that more muscle fibers are needed to lift the load.
For maximum strengthening, you lift the weight closest
to your maximum potential for 3-5 repetitions. Maximum strength
training requires precise coordination in the messages between the
brain and the body, to get all the muscle fibers in a muscle unit contracting at the exact same time for maximum lift. It then takes a day
to replenish the energy stores in the muscle.
Typical strength training programs involve light to moderate levels of resistance. Workouts are scheduled every other day to
allow the body to replenish stores of energy into the muscle. Workout routines should include all aspects of the body for a balanced
strengthening program. It’s important to start at an appropriate level
to minimize the risk for injury.
A personal fitness trainer, physical therapist or exercise
physiologist can help you determine a specific strengthening program. Watch for signs of straining and possible injury. The old adage “no pain, no gain” is not true. Pain usually means injury has
occurred or is imminent if the activity continues. Your body will
adapt and make changes, because it wants to avoid pain.
Since muscle is metabolically more active than fat, increasing muscle mass will utilize more energy overall, making fat loss
occur faster or allowing the intake of more calories. You also have
increased ability to do physical activity and have more energy and
will even burn more calories when you are sleeping.
Muscles will also pull on the bone more, stimulating the
bone to increase bone density and add more bone cells. This combats osteoporosis and helps prevent pain, weakness and fractures.
Exercise should be considered a lifelong habit, something
incorporated into our daily routines, just like brushing our teeth.
The strength and health of the body will be reflected in how you
feel and are able to perform tasks. Attention to quality will produce
healthier states of being. Perhaps that’s the attitude we need to cultivate in all aspects of our lives.

Scudder Scholarships Presented
To Two Local Nursing Students
Two young women received $3,000 scholarships to continue their education,
thanks to the Laura Scudder Foundation, with the support of the Monterey Park Historical Society.
The two scholarship winners are Tanya Limon and Imelda Orta. Both are currently nursing students. Limon, a Schurr High School graduate, is studying at East L
A. College, and Orta at Cerritos College.
John Scudder, grandson of Laura Scudder, presented the scholarships. The local
scholarships are awarded annually to two students who have returned to college or
training schools to advance their careers. They typically are either business or nursing students.
Laura Scudder, founder of the Scudder Potato Chip Company, began her business
in Monterey Park and established factories here. She was a former nurse and attorney
who ventured into the business world at a time when few women were welcomed.
She pioneered the packaging and retail sale and distribution of snack foods. Her
company also processed and distributed peanut butter.
At one time she was known as the Potato Chip Queen of the west. Later the
company was sold to Borden, Inc.
SCHOLARSHIPS: John Scudder, grandson of Laura Scudder presents scholarships to Sandra Limon and Imelda Orta at recent scholarship luncheon.
