Job Description Of A Mom
S.G.V. EXAMINER
Mother's Day is surely a special day in most households as
well as florists, perfume and jewelry counters. There is lots of
scurrying about to find just the
right gift for Mom to show love
and appreciation for all she has
done. I am especially spoiled and
celebrated with a delicious meal,
lovely gifts and beautiful flowers.
In reflecting on motherhood,
there is no doubt that mothers
are an integral part of making our
world a far better place and their
sacrifices and hard work have
enriched our lives beyond all
measure. My grandson,
Jeremy's wife, Rachel, will be
delivering our 13th great grandchild next month. It is with great
admiration that our family has
watched her go through many
months of extreme nausea and
forced bed rest in order to bring
forth their third little girl which
they have named "Libby" We are
all waiting with great excitement
and expectation to meet this darling new member of our family.
If being a Mom were a job that
one might apply for, the following poem tells what the requirements would be:
LINES FROM LORIE
By Lorie Pope Pauly
JOB DESCRIPTION OF A
MOM
The job description of a Mom,
You'll never find advertised.
But, if you want to be one,
You really should be advised.
The hours are long and tiring.
On call twenty-four hours a
day.
You will have no paid vacations.
In fact, there won't be any pay.
Your duties will be endless.
Flexibility is a requirement.
You will clean and cook and
scrub.
You'll be in charge of home
environment.
You'll be a counselor and a
doctor,
A chauffeur behind the wheel,
A wizard in the kitchen,
To prepare a tasty meal.
Your ears must be ever ready,
To hear problems trials and
fears.
You must dole out advice and
wisdom,
Give warm hugs and dry all
tears.
Sometime, you'll feel discouraged.
Often, you'll be sad and weary.
You'll have triumphs and
defeats.
Some days will be bleak and
dreary.
This job will last a lifetime,
Never coming to an end.
But, if you do it faithfully,
Each child will become your
friend.
Then, when your brood is
raised,
Mature and standing tall and
strong,
You'll be filled with pride and
joy.
Your soul will sing a happy
song.
You'll know you've done your
best.
On your face will be a grin.
In your heart, you will be
saying,
"I would do it all again!!!!"
Go Through Those Old Cookbooks
In a rut with your cooking?
Tired of making the same things
week after week for dinner?
Kids complaining that meals are
boring? Revisit your cookbook
library…
What better way to spice up
your meals that to try a new dish
for the family? Here are a few
tips when re-engaging with your
bibliothéque du cuisine:
1. Never try a new recipe on
guests you want to impress.
Unless you are a whiz in the
kitchen and can master recipes
without practicing them once or
twice, you run the risk of creating something not fit for consumption.
2. Always try a new recipe on
your family. In case of a disaster, they will forgive you. Then
call out for pizza.
3. Never try a recipe out of a
cookbook that has impossible to
find ingredients or techniques
you can't pronounce. Unless
there is phonetic spelling or definition next to it, chances are
you're up for a big challenge.
4. Always make what sounds
good to you. It's likely you'll
have tasted that dish before and
will have some frame of reference.
5. Never be afraid to give it a
shot. Just don't name the dish
until you have finished it. You

Rep Of Toyota Motors
Of Europe Visits
Citrus College
by Stacy Quillen
Citrus College's Toyota Technical Education Network (TTEN) is ranked among the best
in the nation. For this reason, a
high-ranking executive from
Toyota Motor of Europe chose
to tour the program's facilities
last week.
"Since we have been successful in providing well-trained entry-level
technicians
to
dealerships, we are being used
as an example of how training
programs work in the United
States," said Dave Brown, Citrus College instructor and program coordinator. "Toyota informed us that the European representative was interested in visiting us and asked if we would
be able to accommodate a tour."
Citrus College is one of over
50 American colleges to boast a
T-TEN program, which was developed by Toyota to attract,
develop and retain highly skilled
technicians who have the ability
to maintain and repair today's
technology-laden cars and
trucks.
"We interface with and represent Toyota in many ways,"
Brown said. "We provide local
dealerships with entry-level technicians and try to make sure the
training we provide meets their
needs."
David Detremmerie from
Toyota Motor of Europe was interested in learning about how
training partnerships work in the
United States, Brown said. For
this reason, he visited the campus on April 27 with representatives from Toyota Motor Sales,
USA (TMS).
"We are visited by executives
from TMS regularly. We have
also been honored to receive visits from Japanese executives on
more than one occasion. This is
the first time we have hosted a
Toyota executive from Europe,"
Brown said. "Our goal was to
showcase a successful Toyota
training program in the United
States."
As part of the visit, Brown
showed the group the Citrus
College Automotive Technology
classrooms and lab. The tour
was followed by a question and
answer session and an off-campus luncheon.
Detremmerie felt that the tour
was informative.
"My main idea for doing this
was to see the difference between what you do here and
what we do in Europe," he said.
"I received a very good impression of what you do here."
Brown said that it was a privilege for him to be involved with
the tour.
"We do a lot of good work
here," he said. "Perhaps if we
showcase what we do here a little
more, we can one day break
through the stereotype that Automotive Technology is for dummies."
A former graduate of the Citrus College T-TEN Program,
Brown says he is honored to be
an instructor now.
"I have had the pleasure, since
1999, of participating in a program that changes lives," he said.
"My life was changed by this
program when I finished it in
1993. I am proud to be giving
something back."

Firearms on Azusa
School Campus
On Tuesday, May 1, 2007, the Azusa
Police Department received a call from a
very alert custodian at Powell School in
Azusa. As he was on campus, he saw a
male juvenile on the school grounds carrying what appeared to be a gun. The custodian immediately notified a colleague to
contact the police while he continued to
monitor the juveniles' actions from a safe
distance. As Officers were responding
to the scene, additional information was
provided that at least two juveniles and
two weapons may be involved. When the
Officers arrived, two juveniles immediately began to flee on foot through the
school campus. Approximately 14 Azusa
Police Officers and Detectives converged
on the school within minutes of the call
and were able to apprehend three male
juveniles, one age 15 and the other two
ages 13, all from Azusa. All three were
found to be in possession of replica firearms. The weapons they had were similar in size and color to a .25 auto, a 9mm
Glock, and a mini MP5 submachine gun.
One of the detained juveniles was also
found to be wearing a gun holster concealed under his untucked shirt.
The three Juveniles were arrested and
charged with replica weapons related
charges and were booked at the Azusa
Police Department.
Although the regular school day had
concluded, Powell school does conduct
an after school program. At the time of
this incident, a significant number of children who participate in the program were
on campus. Fortunately, the outstanding
observation and timely telephone call by
the custodian along with actions of school
officials, allowed this potentially volatile
incident to be resolved with no injuries to
anyone.
The motive of the Juveniles is unknown
at this time and is currently under investigation. All three were booked at the City
of Azusa jail and released to their respective parents.

ARCADIA — Thursday the 3rd of
May, the Santa Anita Bowling Green Club
held their Guys and Dolls Pairs tournament at their greens in the Arcadia County
Park in Arcadia, on South Santa Anita
Avenue. It was a good day for bowling,
with a bright sun and light breeze to keep
cool.
The Guys and Dolls is the only club
tournament where the teams are preset.
Normally the teams are drawn from the
members that have signed up for the
event. This year they only had six pairs
signed up. This is why we need more men
and women to learn to bowl. The more
we have, the better the competition.
The Guys and Dolls participating in the
monthly Floy Torvid Tournament played
like champions. The Floy Torvid Tournament is the monthly contest named for
one of the past Presidents that passed

Get On-Key with Oncore Karaoke

S.G.V. EXAMINER
It is no great secret that I love
the idea of playing music and
singing, but with very little skill
in doing either, I have been stuck
with playing Guitar Hero and pretending to sing with Karaoke.
I've tried a few methods to sing
Karaoke in the privacy of your
home with friends and loved
ones and found a new device that
allows you to sing your heart out
without the fear of public humiliation or paying outrageous prices
for private Karaoke rooms.
The Oncore On-Key Wireless
Karaoke System is a simple,
small and self contained Karaoke
system for home users. With a
footprint smaller then any video
game console, this Karaoke system offers users the chance to
sing with a wireless microphone
as well as with an additional microphone (not included) and
hooks up just as easily as any

video game system to any TV
set. You simply plug in the audio/video cables, put some batteries into the system and away
you go!
The system will play any
Karaoke standard music in MP3/
CDG format and includes software to convert your current
Karaoke songs into MP3 format
as well. Then the songs can be
placed onto any SD memory card
and inserted into the system, for
fast, quick and easy file storage.
Thanks to the SD cards, you can
put tons of songs and setup play
lists for any party quickly and
easily on this cheap and small
media.
The Karaoke System itself
works like any other full sized
system. It loads up songs, displays the text on the screen and
allows you to sing along with any
of your favorites. The Oncore
On-Key Wireless Karaoke System also features active pitch
correction that helps you sing like
a pro, or at least won't make
small children cry and plants wilt.
If you do manage to sing something you like, you can also
record and share the song with
anyone. The On-Key website offers a variety of contests and
features for users to come together and share their love of
music with each other.
The
On-Key
website
www.onkeysongs.com also allows you buy karaoke singles for
your new system for the low
price of $1 each or in bundles
for even better prices. With over
a thousand songs currently available, you should be sure to find
"your" karaoke song. The sys-
tem itself retails for only 199.99
and comes with everything you
need to get right into singing, including a wireless microphone,
five built in songs and a coupon
to download five more songs of
your choice for free off the
website. This portable party machine is perfect for anyone looking to sing, laugh and have fun
with friends without having to
deal with the hassle, cost and
embarrassment of singing in
karaoke bars.
