The Torrance School Board held a limited
meeting on February 3 to recognize several
students and teachers for their accomplishments
in the past year. The meeting began with a song
from the North Torrance Elementary Ukelele
Group. Nearly 25 ukelele players, joined by
two violin players, played Lovely Hula Hands,
an ukelele standard. The group is in its second
year and is led by music teacher Glen Kamida.
The ukeleles were provided to the students
through donations from the community.
“This is the best example of what parents
in North Torrance do for our children,” said
Kamida. “In the last two years, our PTAs, our
education alliance, plus with some help from
the North Torrance Youth Musicians Ensemble,
we have bought almost 400 ukeleles.”
Kamida said every third and fourth grader
at North Torrance Elementary is learning the
ukelele, which he joked has greatly increased
his class size. “I have a nice little teaching load
of 1,200 students,” said Kamida. “So much for
class size reduction...”
After the ukelele players finished their song,
the Board applauded North High School English
Teacher Julie Shankle on passing the National
Board Certification Exam in English. The
certification is an advanced teaching credential
that requires instructors to submit videos of
their lessons, provide work samples from their
students, examine their own teaching context
and their students’ needs in order to pass the
exam. Chief Academic Officer Tim Stowe
congratulated Shankle on completing what
he called “a very rigorous process.” Stowe
noted, “It’s quite an accomplishment. It takes
quite a bit of time and energy to complete.”
The next person to be recognized was South
High School student Jillian Free, who was
chosen to be one of two State of California
representatives to attend the American Legion
Auxiliary Girls Nation. Free was elected the
California “Governor” as well as a Girls Nation
representative by her peers at Girls State. During
her time representing California for Girls Nation,
Jillian spent a week in Washington, D.C. where
she debated mock bills, talked to peers from
across the country and met President Obama
and other nation officeholders. “This is quite
an honor,” said Stowe.
South High was also home to two exceptional
athletes in Cross Country. First is Kimberly
Coscia, who was undefeated in league, a backto-back Pioneer League champion, Great Cow
Run Invitational overall winner and Mt. SAC
Invitational overall winner. She finished eighth
at the California Interscholastic Federation (CIF)
finals and 17th at the State Championship.
This isn’t her first successful year at CIF. Last
year, she was the 3,200-meter CIF champion.
Coscia’s fellow exceptional athlete was Nick
Lofgren. He was similarly undefeated in league,
a back-to-back Pioneer League champion and
Mt. SAC Invitational overall winner. He was
also the Woodbridge Invitational overall winner,
made fifth place at the CIF finals and 38th at
the State Championship.
The next honorees were the South High
School Marching Band, which was congratulated
on its win in the Southern California Judging
Association (SCJA) California State Band
Championships. This year the Marching
Band also won the State Championship in
Division 5 in the categories of overall band,
music, percussion, auxiliary (color guard) and
best soloist (Mark Araos). This is the band’s
second win in three years. Director Tom King
said that his students work hard all year long
and deserve the praise. “We’re doing this for
a long time,” said King. “It starts basically
with graduation, they get a week off and then
they come back for a six-week program that
meets at night--then in August, they start with
band camp.”
Tracy Sprague, an English Teacher at West
High School, was recognized for being named
a National High School Teacher of Excellence
by the National Council of Teachers of English.
Sprague was one of only16 teachers throughout
the United States to receive this title. “We’re
really proud of the work that she does. She
presents in conferences all over the state and
represents Torrance Unified [well] with all the
great work she’s doing,” said Stowe.
The Board also commemorated West High
athletes Erin Choi, Ray Lima and J.J. Allen, all
of whom could not attend the meeting. Choi
excelled in golf by placing first in the Knabe
Cup and second at the CIF State Championship.
Lima and Allen are both part of West High’s
football team and both received special awards

Police Chief Neu Retires
By Dylan Little
The Torrance City Council honored
recently retired Police Chief John Neu
during its February 4 meeting. The Council
presented Neu with a proclamation praising
him as an innovator in the field of policing
and credited him as a major force in making the Torrance Police Department (TPD)
one of the best in the nation.
Neu received a standing ovation from the
audience gathered in the Council chambers.
In his outgoing address, Neu said that he
believes now is the right time for him to
leave the position. “There’s never ever a
good time, but there is a right time and
that time is now,” said Neu.
The City of Torrance has yet to appoint a
replacement Chief. Currently, Deputy Chief
Mark Matsuda is handling the responsibilities of the position. After his experience
working with other police departments, Neu
said the Torrance Chief of Police position
is coveted throughout the state. “The Torrance Police Chief’s job is the envy of other
departments,” said Neu. “A big part of that
is because of the community we have.”
It’s expected that the next Chief will
be hired internally and Neu believes there
are a number of great candidates currently
serving in the department. “I wish I had the
opportunity to promote everyone--obviously
realistically that can’t happen--but we have
so many people that can do the job,” said
Neu. “We have great people who are not
only going to carry what we’ve done forward, but build upon what we have done.”
Neu was hired by the TPD on August 29,
1985 and worked his way up in the department, having served as a member of the

Crime Impact Team, a Detective working both

and a Police Captain before starting as Chief
of Police with his appointment on October 10,
2006. Neu has been at the center of many of
the progressive changes within the department.
Even before serving as Police Chief, he started
the “Women in Policing” recruitment program
while serving in the Personnel Division to
reach out to women interested in joining the
force and showcase the contributions of female officers. As a captain, he developed and
started Torrance’s in-house Animal Control
Program. His innovations as Chief of Police
included introducing the philosophy of FocusBased Policing, which is now a cornerstone
of how the department functions and keeps
police methods evolving as crime in the city
changes. He also introduced Team Policing,
a new Forensic Identification Specialist Unit
and expanded the use of a DNA Criminalist to
process crime scenes--all of which has led to
improved case clearance rates. Councilmember
Tom Brewer said Neu’s term as Chief has advanced how policing is done in the city. “He
brought some of the most innovative strategies
and techniques the department has ever seen,”
said Brewer. “He is respected by chiefs all
over the country. We’re going to miss him.”

As Police Chief, Neu received many commendations from the citizens and organizations
he has protected as well as other departments
in the criminal justice field. He has been recognized for his contributions to public safety
by the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s
Office, FBI, the Department of Justice and the
United State Attorney’s Office. Mayor Frank
Scotto said that Neu has always been willing
to work with him and the rest of the City
government and staff members to find solutions
to issues affecting the community. “I’ve been
so fortunate to do a lot of things with you,”
said Scotto. “It’s really been a great time.”
Neu also made changes to promote increased
understanding between the Police Department
and the community it serves. He started a Community Affairs Division and gave Community
Lead Officers a larger role. Neu also worked to
improve police response times and make sure
dispatchers could keep up with demand from
the community. In the Council proclamation,
he is credited with creating “a greater level of
service for the citizens of Torrance.”
After recognizing Neu, the Council also
appropriated $37,450 in donations for the
555 Maple Avenue Recreational Sports Fields
raised through selling space on a donor wall.
The total cost of the project is approximately

and teachers received. Board member Martha

again next year. “I hope we can do this again.
This is an awesome event,” said Deutsch. •

Saxons Eye the Crown
By Adam Serrao
The North High Saxons are having a highly
successful season this year in the high school
basketball world and primarily have the
Centennial Apaches to thank. At first glance,
that statement seems to be a tad bit ridiculous,
especially given that Centennial is the team
that handed the Saxons their first (and only)
league play loss of the season and their only
loss in the last seven straight games. As the
Saxons sit in first place and atop the Pioneer
League standings, a position where they have
sat for almost the entire season, it becomes
easy to see that the team under head coach
Luke Dupperon has not experienced losing
and 25-point victory. With only two weeks of
play left in the season, the Saxons (18-4, 5-1)
will attempt to use their blazing hot streak to
carry them to a Pioneer League crown and
right into a top seed in the playoffs. Rivalry
games like matchups against Torrance and
South remain on the schedule, but all other
teams better take heed of the full head of
steam that North is taking with it on the road
to the playoffs this year.
West High
The West High Warriors have had an up
and down season this year, but it never began
to really look bleak until they took on the
Mira Costa Mustangs back in week one of
“The Saxons, like every good team, take it one
game at a time and have their eyes on first place.”
much at all up until this point. With an 18-4
overall record, each of the Saxons’ losses this
year have come in tournament play, except
that one loss against Centennial. After North’s
82-57 home beat-down of Centennial last
Friday night, it became obviously clear that it
was the last loss to Centennial that has been
pushing the Saxons ever since.
If you were to ask Dupperon or any of
the players on his team, each and every one
of them would tell you that revenge is the
furthest thing from their minds. The Saxons,
like every good team, take it one game at a
time and have their eyes on first place--not
necessarily payback. When the Saxons lost
their first league game of the season, however,
it was a defeat that definitely stayed with them.
To lose in the first game of truly meaningful
play, a team with such lofty expectations
would certainly not forget. That 52-47 loss
that the Saxons experienced back on January
15 has sparked the team on a run that has
seen it easily beat cross-town rivals South
High and Torrance High, among others. In the
five-game stretch since that loss, the Saxons
haven’t just been winning—they’ve been
destroying teams. An 18-point victory over
Lawndale, a 27-point win over El Segundo
and a 13-point win over South has helped the
Saxons to five victories in a row in which they
have outscored their opponents by a total of
409-319. Clearly, North is having no trouble
at all putting the ball in the hoop.
When the Saxons finally got their second
shot of the year at Centennial, they were not
in need of any extra motivation to put points
up on the board. Mo Nwodili racked up 25
points and 11 rebounds, Darius Faulk put
up 12, and both Chad Ashimine and Mehran
Nazarian came through with 11 to bring the
Pioneer-leading Saxons to their 82-point output
league play. That week at Mira Costa, the
Mustangs beat the Warriors by 14 points and
sent them forward to what ultimately became
an eight-game losing streak. The Warriors have
still yet to win since that day. Although they
took on Mira Costa at home this time, they
found it even harder to beat their Bay League
foes as they lost by a final of 70-39. Matt
Herrera was a bright spot for the Warriors
in the game, coming through with 16 points
and four rebounds in the loss. The Warriors
(6-16, 0-6) have four games left in the season,
but needless to say the outlook unfortunately
continues to look bleak for this year.
Torrance High vs. South High
Last Friday night at South High, the Spartans
took on the Torrance Tartars and it was clear
that something had to give. Torrance, losers
of its last three games and four out of five,
took on the Spartans who have lost five in a
row and seven out of eight. The drop toward
the bottom of the league standings comes as
somewhat of a surprise for the Tartars, who
not even a month ago looked to be in good
shape as they had won four out of five and
came away with decisive wins against Mira
Costa at the Staples Center and against South
in this year’s first league game of the season.
In the end, when something had to bend, it
was the Spartans who did the bending, though,
and extended their losing streak to what is
now six games to keep them in last place just
behind the Tartars in the league standings.
Evan Mejia and Abdullah Nazarkhan led
the way for Torrance with 11 and 10 points
respectively in their Pioneer League victory.
With just two weeks left in the season for
both teams, the outlook is bleak for the
Spartans (5-17, 0-6) and Tartars (12-10, 2-4)
barring one of the teams catching fire and
winning out. •

A Stern Exit
By Adam Serrao
For 30 straight years now, David Stern has
been the commissioner of the National Basketball Association. That means that he has been
around since the Magic Johnson and Larry
Bird days, the Michael Jordan days, straight
on through to Kobe Bryant and now LeBron
James. Stern has made the NBA famous by
promoting its greatest players and using them
as a face for his league. As he officially stepped
down last Saturday at the age of 71, Stern
passed the torch to his protégé, Adam Silver.
There is still much to be learned about Silver,
as little is known about the man who has been
preparing to succeed Stern for at least the last
seven years, but it is certain that Stern has left
the league in good shape for his successor.
As Stern walks away from the league that
he has pretty much built with his own hands,
he leaves it in excellent shape economically
and otherwise and has quickly created a great
reputation for an association that at one point
had players in the stands throwing haymakers
at their fans. Under Stern’s tenure, the league
has become bigger than ever, as it is now more
popular and more profitable than it has ever
been before. All of that can be attributed to
Stern and his brilliance as an NBA executive.
There are more than a couple of ways to
evaluate David Stern’s tenure as the commissioner of the NBA. Perhaps the greatest way,
however, is to measure the growth of the league
as a whole. Under Stern, the league expanded
from only 23 teams to 30. Revenues grew from
$165 million in 1984 to $5.5 billion today.
The sport itself is televised in 215 countries
and in 47 different languages, making it the
most televised sport in the world after soccer. Perhaps some of those statistics would
have been accomplished solely through the
advancement of the game and changing times,
but it’s clear that the league itself would not
have been as purely successful as it is today
were it not for Stern’s keen business acumen.
“It’s been a great run,” Stern said of his tenure
as NBA commissioner. “The league is in, I
think, terrific condition. I’d like to think I did
an adequate job.” For every few things Stern
has succeeded at, however, there have also
been certain failures. For instance, Vancouver,
Charlotte, New Jersey and Seattle have all suffered through watching their basketball teams
leave during Stern’s tenure while Sacramento
came uncomfortably close. For reasons like
these, Stern will be looked down upon by some.
No one ever wants to see franchise relocation,
as that instability is neither good for the city
that calls that team its own nor the commissioner who couldn’t find the stability to keep
the team in place. Yet for every small setback,
Stern has found a way to create an advantage.
Even the value of franchises has soared during
Stern’s tenure. For instance, when Stern took
over in the NBA, teams were being sold in
the $20 million range. When the Golden State
Warriors were sold in 2010, the price was
$450 million. In a league that was struggling
to get much of any fame or credit in the 1980s
when Stern took over and games were being
televised on tape-delay, he now quietly walks
away from a league that pays its players more
than any other sporting league in the world.
He recreated the way that players dressed and
portrayed themselves while in the public eye,
established the WNBA, grew the NBA to a
worldwide brand and even took Metta World
Peace under his wing after the latter was seen
as one of the main instigators in what was
surely the ugliest moment of Stern’s tenure.
Despite all of what he did right for the league
and its stance in the world today, there may only
be one thing that Stern will be remembered for
here in Los Angeles. Back before they were one
of the worst teams in the league, the Lakers
were competing for championships and pulled
off a trade that would have kept them from
becoming what they have now become. Chris
Paul was a Los Angeles Laker and was almost on
his way to play alongside Kobe Bryant in the
Lakers’ backcourt. Stern came in and vetoed the
trade in the 11th hour for what he stated were
“basketball reasons.” No other explanation was
ever given and the Lakers were left twiddling
their thumbs, wondering what went wrong. It
was perhaps one of the biggest miscues of
Stern’s career and will surely be remembered
here in Los Angeles for at least as long as Paul
remains across the way as a Clipper. Sports
columnist Bill Simmons may have said it best
when he explained that the league “intentionally
jeopardized its own credibility.” Truly, that day
will go down as one of the worst in the history
of the Lakers’ franchise and certainly does it
job to tarnish Stern’s credibility.
Despite all of the debate as to whether Stern
was a perfect commissioner or not, it is clear that
he did his job to bring the NBA to new levels.
No one person will ever be perfect, especially
when given the job of maintaining a multibillion-dollar industry like the NBA and that
is something that basketball fans everywhere
should keep in mind as Adam Silver takes Stern’s
place. All in all, Stern did wonders for the NBA
and walks away wiping his hands clean. A
commissioner who may go down as the greatest
of any sport in the history of competitive games
spent 30 years bettering what has now become
one of the world’s most popular sports. Whether
you like him or not, his work must be respected
and appreciated. David Stern may not be the most
popular person in the world, but as he walks away
from the NBA, the state of the league speaks
for itself when it says that he was undoubtedly
an extremely successful businessman. •

George Washington’s Boy in Torrance
By TerriAnn Ferren
Most of us learned about George Washington,
the father of our country and the first President
of the United States, in school. Years ago, my
husband Dave and I visited Mount Vernon,
George Washington’s home in Virginia, and
that visit rekindled an appreciation and deep
Arts, and recipient of the NAACP Renaissance

Box Office and The First Family, in addition
to writing another play entitled Four Queens

character Isaac on the television classic The
“We are reducing taxes on production, investing money in the
economy. We are optimizing state expenses.”
admiration for President George Washington
that continues to this day. What an example
he set for all the Presidents who succeeded
him. And how high that bar really stands is
evident when you read about this man. Born
on February 22, 1732 in Westmoreland County,
Virginia, the first President was a very brilliant
leader, horseman and statesman. The more I
read about George Washington, the more I
admire the man and his courage.
Slaves were common in the colonies in the
18th Century and Washington had a manservant
who traveled with him, rode with him, witnessed
battles, struggles, meetings, and probably was
more of a confidant to Washington than anyone
else. This man’s name was Billy Lee. Lee
was an expert horseman himself and is said
to have been the only one who could keep up
with Washington while on horseback. Wellknown actor, author and director Ted Lange
researched extensive documentation to find
out the facts of George Washington’s closest
confidant--ironically, his slave Billie Lee. It
was Billie Lee who was at Washington’s side
all through the Revolutionary War and was
privy to conversations and information that
others were not.
Appropriately, during Black History Month,
on February 15 at 7:30 p.m., the South Bay
Conservatory and Torrance Performing Arts
Consortium will present with Mercury Theatre
and Stage Company and Lange Productions
a dramatic reading of the play George
Washington’s Boy, written by Ted Lange and

Ona. Photo by Mary Lange.
produced by Linda Dryer.
One late afternoon last week, I met with the
ever ebullient Torrance resident, graduate of
the London Royal Academy of the Dramatic
Love Boat, but has never stopped performing,
writing and directing. Lange then told me he
traveled to the East Coast to have Thanksgiving
with his sons when they were in school. He
did that so they didn’t have to fly home for
one day and then fly back. And it was during
one of these trips Lange told me, “I picked up
a book by Joseph Ellis, His Excellency George
Washington, and I come across this character
Willy Lee--William Lee--and I go, ‘This is
good, this might be a part I can play.’ So I

start reading it and the more I read it, I say,
‘I could play this guy,’ and by the time I land
in LA from New York, I decide I am going
to start researching this guy because I think
I found a great part.” Lange shared that this
was the beginning of his intense study and
research. As time moved on, he decided he
was too old to play the character of William
Lee, but he went on to write the play anyway.
“I write this play… There was some
interesting stuff that takes place when he
[Billy] was a young man and then his life
takes a turn when Washington is President,
“explained Lange. “Then I also find these
other fascinating characters. I find Washington
had a cook named Hercules and he ran away.
Martha Washington had a favorite slave just
like George did. Her slave was Onie Judge.
Her real name was Ona, but they called her
Onie. This became a fascinating story, so I
wrote [that into] the play. There is a new book
out on Washington by Ron Chernow called
Washington: A Life and I double-checked it
with my facts [to be sure of the history].”
Talking with Lange about George Washington

brought the father of our country to life again
in a way I hadn’t imagined. Lange went
on to say, “I found that William Lee was
with Washington every day of the American
Revolution and they don’t talk about him in
the history books? You have to really dig and
dig and then you will get an anecdote here
and another thing there and then you start
to get a picture. What I discovered was that
William Lee was a horseman and they talk
about this countless times in biographies where
no one was a better horseman than George
Washington. And there is a portrait of him and
William Lee. It is a picture of Washington,
the horse and William Lee because they were
both horsemen.” So William Lee would keep
up with Washington when no one else could.
The rest of the riders would be left in the
dust! Lange said that his in-depth investigation
showed that William came to be not just
Washington’s friend, but his confidant. “He
can’t confide in the other Generals because
he has to lead them,” said Lange. “He can’t
show them that he has to figure out something.
I draw this parallel between Washington and
William Lee--similar with Martha and Ona
Judge. Same relationship. She [Ona] was her
confidant. They had sewing circles. Ona Judge
ended up running away. Martha was furious
and made up a lie to get her back.” I asked
Lange what was the lie and he said I would
have to see the play to find out.
I asked Lange if William Lee ever wrote
about his own experiences and he said no, but
George Washington wrote a lot about William
Lee. Then Lange said, “One of the things is
on his deathbed, Washington freed one slave-William Lee. And he made arrangements to
free the rest of the slaves, but not until Martha
died. The only slave he freed immediately was
William Lee. And he gave him a pension. He

River, the southern-most outdoor NHL game in
history, and the first-ever outdoor NHL game in
had a monthly income, had a place to stay and
he [Washington] made sure he was taken care
of for the rest of his life. This was unheard
of.” Wow, what a brave, generous, loving thing
for George Washington to do. How striking
that must have been for the 18th Century! I
can’t wait to see this play! Then Lange said,
“Nobody knows it, but it is written down and
I took the actual quote from the will and it’s
in the play and concerns William Lee. You
hear William Lee--spoiler alert--discover that
in the play. I did a lot of cross-referencing.”
Then Lange quoted pages 492 and 493 from
Washington: A Life that documents his findings.
There are other historical events surrounding
George Washington that are presented in the
dramatic reading uncovered by Lange that will
fill in the story of the first President of our
country and his slave William Lee.
After speaking with Ted Lange, I headed right
to my books to read about George Washington
all over again. This play is a must-see for
Black History Month. Lange, a meticulous
researcher, visited slave quarters in Mount
Vernon, collected over 46 books, spoke with
curators, studied numerous documentaries and
searched the Internet uncovering the spirit of
these Americans hidden in the shadows of
history. Lange brings their story, humanity,
humor and quest for freedom to the stage.
And some of these people quite possibly
knew President George Washington the best.
This is an event I won’t miss. History comes
alive through the actor Thomas Anthony
Jones playing the role of William Lee and the
18th Century will become more vivid as this
little-known piece of history is told by Ted
Lange. Join the other cast members Tiffany
Adams, Daniel Barrett, Natasha Dixon, Gordon
Goodman, Big Llou Johnson, Chrystee Pharris,
Robert Pine, Michael Proctor, Ken Sagoes
and Connie Ventress as they bring colonial
America to life.

Looking Up
Monet’s Cliff by the Sea Beckons “Celestial Sleuths”
By Bob Eklund
Famed French Impressionist Claude Monet
created a striking scene of the Normandy coast
in his 1883 painting Étretat: Sunset. Now, a
team of Texas State University researchers, led
by astronomer and physics professor Donald
Olson, has applied its distinctive brand of
forensic astronomy to Monet’s masterpiece,
uncovering previously unknown details about
the painting’s origins.
Olson, along with Texas State physics faculty
member Russell Doescher and students Hannah
Reynolds, Ava Pope and Laura Bright, published
their findings in the February 2014 issue of Sky
& Telescope magazine, on newsstands now.
“Claude Monet, founding member of the
Impressionist movement, painted a dramatic
scene on the Normandy coast,” Olson said.
“The canvas shows the orange disk of the sun
sinking toward the horizon near a spectacular
line of cliffs.
“We like to use astronomy to show students
how science can solve real-world puzzles,”
Olson explained. “We asked, ‘Could we use the
dramatic rocks in the landscape and the position of the setting sun to determine where and
when specifically Monet created this beautiful
masterpiece?’”
Monet painted a series of paintings featuring
this stretch of the Normandy coast during a
three-week visit to the area during the winter
of 1883. His painting Étretat: Sunset shows
a cliff known as the Falaise d’Aval along
with the arch Porte d’Aval overlapping a tall,
B U S I N E S S
needle-shaped rock spire known as Aiguille
(the Needle) that stands just offshore. Key
to the image, however, is a low setting sun
just to the right of the landforms. Of all the
paintings Monet painted at Étretat, this is the
only canvas that includes the disk of the sun,
and that one detail opens the door to dating
the scene precisely.
To determine on which days in February
the sun would have set in the proper location
for Monet to capture in his painting, the team
of Texas State researchers traveled in August
2012 to France. Student Ava Pope hiked the
beach to find exactly where Monet must have
stood. “Ava is accustomed to difficult hiking
terrain, and she said that the beaches near
Étretat had the most difficult footing she’d
ever been on in her life. It’s really tough,” said
Olson. “Monet went out there with all of his
painting equipment!”
The Texas State team found that the view
matched the scene depicted in Étretat: Sunset
at only one location—a spot 425 yards from
the Porte d’Amont on a rocky beach under an
overhanging cliff.
Using planetarium software to compare the
modern sky to that of the 19th Century, the
team was able to calculate that the sun would
have set as shown in the painting on February
5, 1883. Allowing for some uncertainty, the
researchers concluded that the correct date
must fall in the range between February 3 and
February 7, 1883.
The group then combed through letters Monet
&
wrote from Étretat during his stay, along with
weather records and tide tables from February
of 1883, to confirm their date. They discovered
that on February 3, Monet was working on
nearby Jambourg Beach and that the artist
spent all day February 4 entertaining his visiting brother. The tides of February 6 did not
match the painting, and Monet’s letters show
that he paid close attention to the tides. On
February 7, cloudy weather and rain storms
began. Through the process of elimination,
the calculated date of February 5 is the only
Claude Monet’s painting Étretat: Sunset. Courtesy of the North Carolina Museum of Art, Raleigh; Purchased with funds from

one remaining that matches the sun’s position,
the weather and the tide level in the painting.
Armed with that knowledge, the Texas State
team used the height of the needle-like Aiguille
formation to calculate the exact time from the
altitude of the sun above the horizon.
“We were able to determine the month, day,
hour and precise minute—accurate to plus or
minus one minute—when Monet was inspired
by that beautiful scene,” Olson said. “Monet
observed this sunset on February 5, 1883 at
4:53 p.m. local mean time.” •

TORRANCE TRIBUNE
February 6, 2014
One Man’s Opinion
By Gerry Chong
“Government is not reason, it is not
eloquence- It is force. Like fire, it is a
dangerous servant and a fearful master.”
– George Washington
“A democracy cannot exist as a permanent
form of government. It can only exist until
the voters discover they can vote themselves
largesse from the public treasury. From that
moment on, the majority always votes for the
candidates promising them the most benefits
from the public treasury, with the result that
a democracy always collapses over a loose
fiscal responsibility, always followed by a
dictatorship. – Alexander Tyler, 1770
“I have a pen and I have a phone, and I
can use that pen to sign executive orders.”
– Barack Obama, 2014
So has the tyranny begun? In August,
2011, S&P downgraded U.S. debt from AAA
to AA+. Two days later, Barack Obama’s
Treasury Secretary, Tim Geithner, taught
the Chairman of S&P’s parent, Harold
McGraw, about the Chicago way. In a
sworn affidavit, McGraw stated Geithner
told him his deed would not go unpunished.
“You have done an enormous disservice to
yourself and your country” and that S&P’s
conduct would be looked at very carefully.”
Only S&P among the three credit rating
agencies downgraded U.S. debt, and only
S&P was sued in 2013 for $5 billion by the
Obama Administration for fraud. Chicago
comes to Washington, D.C.
Dinish D’Souza, author of the anti-Obama
book Obama’s America, is now a Federal
target, being charged with laundering
$10,000 in political campaign contributions.
It turns out he loaned to his fiancée, who
Page 9
Another Man’s Opinion
made a campaign contribution to an old
college classmate. Would the IRS have
charged him if he were Michael Moore?
Reuters reported that The Privacy and Civil
Liberties Oversight board, a governmental
agency, on January 23 found that the daily
spying on billions of Americans’ phone calls,
the 600,000 address books, the 500,000
electronic “buddy lists” and 200 million text
messages collected daily by the NSA have
had “minimal” impact on counterterrorism
efforts and are illegal, but the Administration
ignored the report.
A special review panel appointed by
Obama last year to investigate NSA phone
hacking recommended 46 actions to limit
NSA’s spying power and recommended
court approval on a case-by-case basis,
but few of the recommendations have been
implemented.
In fact the spying has become more
pervasive and sophisticated, extending to the
spying on game apps on cell phones to build
profiles of the game players. Now a person
can not only be tracked by his cell phone,
but also profiled by the games he plays on it.
In 2011, there were 266 applications for
drones to be flying over the U.S., but by
2013 the projection is that within 10 years
there could be 30,000 drones directed by
the Pentagon, viewing any and every aspect
of our physical life. Under Federal law,
anything seen by the drones can be kept
for 90 days, evidently without violating the
Constitution’s Fourth Amendment banning
illegal search and seizure.
So Washington can roll over in his grave.
Tyler can nod an “I told you so,” and Obama
can continue until 2016. •
Time for the Leaders
in D.C. to Grow Up
By Cristian Vasquez
The State of the Union was televised last
week and despite knowing that President
Obama’s speech would sound like every
other State of the Union address that he
has delivered, I decided to watch. Was I
disappointed? Not really. Was I surprised?
Was I inspired? Did it restore my faith in
our nation’s leaders? Sadly, none of the
above occurred. It is unfortunate that the
most entertaining part of the President’s
speech was watching Speaker of the House
John Boehner not react to most of what
the President said while Vice President Joe
Biden applauded everything our Commanderin-Chief said.
It is impossible to have everyone agree
on anything at any given point in time.
Figuring out where to go have lunch with
my ex-girlfriend was a challenge of epic
proportions at times, so I won’t be too
harsh on Washington’s inability to hammer
out all of the problems facing the nation on
a first try. Not everything President Obama
has done or said has been to my liking, but
neither were the actions of President Bush
or President Clinton or President Reagan.
However, what is troubling and sad is the
unwillingness and inability of these grownups, who were elected to do a job, to better
cooperate with each other. Both sides have
displayed such an unwillingness to even
consider what the other side of the aisle has
to say that we have become accustomed to
the gridlock in D.C. We have become so
used to it that we as a nation sat and simply
accepted the government shutdown. There are
many examples of former presidents willing
and capable to negotiate under the most
divisive of conditions. All it took was good
will and flat out honesty. The behavior of VP
Biden and Speaker Boehner demonstrate the
willingness of our elected officials to first rally
behind their party than their constituents. The
behavior of our leaders is not only pathetic,
but a failure at fulfilling the duties for which
they were elected to complete.
We are all members of this very diverse
world where we interact with a myriad of
people, all with different opinions, goals and
methods to achieving said tasks. Despite
those differences, we all manage to wake
up every day, go to work and do our part
to be productive members of society. With
the exception of a few stragglers, we are
all capable of getting along with each other
and at least display a basic level of respect
toward other people. Even in those cases
where neighbors, coworkers or classmates
don’t like each other, grown-ups are capable
of getting past pettiness for their own mental
well-being and for the sake of moving
forward with life.
So if we can look past our differences and
manage to overcome them with the people
we encounter every day, why can’t the suits
on Capitol Hill do the same? The party
pandering in D.C. is pathetic and displays
the childlike behavior that has gridlocked
our nation’s leadership. •

TORRANCE TRIBUNE
City Council
from page 3
$3.2 million, but the Council has expressed
a desire to make the project revenue neutral
by charging for use of the fields as well as
fundraising efforts like the Donor Wall. Scotto
expects the field will see quite a bit of interest,
as even its construction is drawing observers.
“Obviously, people are very excited about this
project,” said Scotto. “I was out there today
like I am two or three times a week… [and]
there hasn’t been a time yet that there hasn’t
been a number of people in their cars watching
what’s going on.”
The wall has spaces for six different sponsorship levels and so far the City has received
sponsors at all levels except the “Hall of Fame”
designation, which asks for the largest contribution. The wall itself will cost about $14,000 and
will feature the names of donors sandblasted
into black granite. The complex is expected to
open in the next four to six weeks. •

Pets Without Partners
Purrrfect Companions
Just in time for Valentine’s Day, adopt a “pet
without a partner” and give a homeless pet a
second chance in life.
Lindsey is a superb dog, fabulous in every
Add some extra love in your life when
you adopt your purr-fect partner.
Louie has adorable greenish eyes, spotted
Tabby markings and tiny, white paws. He was
Lindsey
way. One of our volunteers traveling up to
Northern California was tipped off by the
store attendant about a stray dog living on
the property. She found Lindsey living in an
old junked-out car with her four puppies and
brought them all back with her. Our vet feels
she is a Labrador and Pointer mix who is three
to four years old. Lindsey loves all other dogs,
all people, is fine with kids, cat-safe and an
absolute gem of a dog. She has a very gowith-the-flow personality. All her puppies are
weaned and Lindsey is waiting for a home
of her own. Lindsey is housebroken, loving,
kind, sweet and really just a perfect dog. It’s
not often we can say that about a dog. Lindsey
is spayed, current on vaccinations, de-wormed
and microchipped.
Cricket is the last of Lindsey’s puppies. She
is a nice two-month-old pup, and like her mom
has a really nice disposition. Cricket loves to
run and play with the other puppies at the
rescue and loves everyone she meets. She
is a sweet, loving, wonderful puppy. Cricket
will be spayed when of age, is current on
vaccinations, de-wormed, microchipped, fine
with other dogs, cat-safe, and best with children
over the age of five.
Lara was owner-surrendered when taking
care of a litter of six puppies was too much
for the prior owners to handle. Mom dog is
a Cairn Terrier/Poodle mix and the dad is the
neighbor’s Labrador who jumped the fence.
There are two boys and four girls in this litter.
Born on November 6, 2013, they look as though
they should be nice, medium-sized dogs. This
sweet litter of puppies is happy and healthy and
currently in foster care where potty training and
crate training are underway. Lara loves to play
with toys and has great play manners with her
litter mates. Lara will be great with other dogs
and with children (over five please) and since
she is still a puppy, she should be fine with
cats too. Because Lara is not old enough to
be spayed, she will need to be adopted in our
relative area (South Bay/North Orange County)
Trapper
Lara
as she will need to come back for puppy shots
and to be spayed at our vet. Lara is current on
vaccinations, de-wormed, microchipped, fine
with other dogs, and cat-safe.
To learn more about these and other wonderful
dogs, visit our website at www.animalsrule.org.
If a dog is on our website, it’s available. Or
come to our Saturday adoption events from 11
a.m. to 3 p.m. at 305 North Harbor Boulevard
in San Pedro (just off the 110 near the cruise
port). We are always in need of donations
for veterinarian bills and our senior dogs.
Donations can be made through our website or
by sending a check payable to: Animals Rule
Placement Foundation at 305 North Harbor
Blvd., San Pedro, CA 90731. All donations
are tax-deductible. We are a registered 501©3
non-profit organization.
Saving one animal won’t change the world,
but the world will surely change for that animal.•

Happy Tails
Scout (aka Jack) brings a holiday surprise to his home.
Jack, one of our fabulous Pugs, added
special happiness and love to the holidays
when he found his forever home...
“Thanks for your email and pics. Our
kids were so surprised and are absolutely
wonderful with him. We renamed him
Scout because we love to camp and hike.
We took Scout for a hike yesterday and his
stamina outlasted ours. He is going to make
a great jogging buddy for me. I have him
on a food/potty schedule, which is working
out brilliantly. No accidents, he has even
pawed my foot a few times to be taken out
home and forever buddy.
These kittens/cats are available for
adoption through Kitten Rescue, one of
the largest cat rescue groups in Southern
California. All of our kitties are spayed/

already knows a lot of training hand signals
and responds so quickly to please - with a
reward of course. It seems like he has been
a part of our family for so long. The kids
and Scout love each other and are mutually
affectionate with the other. Thank you so
very much for helping us bring Scout home!
Merry Christmas!—Holly.”

rescued from the shelter along with his two
brothers and mother when he was just four
weeks old. Louie is very playful and gets along
with every kitty he meets. Well-socialized and
affectionate, Louie loves to nibble on your
fingers and lick your hands for as long as
you will allow him. He is extremely curious
about everything around him and is constantly
charging around exploring. If you call for him,
Louie will come running, tail up, meowing
in response. This sweet baby is the perfect
addition to any home. Since he is so young
still, Louie cannot be an only kitty and must
be adopted either with a youthful companion
or into a home with a young resident kitty
with whom he can romp.
Trapper was rescued off the streets after
he stumbled into a trap set for his mother in
order to get her spayed and to stop the cycle
of kittens. Luckily for Trapper, because he
was so young, he was brought into foster
care where he quickly turned into a confident,
loving kitten with a ton of spunk! This little
black panther has engaging, golden-green eyes
that are always busy looking for another toy
on which to pounce. He loves big male cats,
cuddling up to them, suckling on their fur
and kneading with his paws as he purrs up a
storm. His vibrant personality shines all the
time as he zips around pouncing one kitty
or another. Trapper definitely needs another
high-energy kitty to play with because he is
always on the go and adores wrestling with
his foster friends. Trapper would fit in well
with most any household, as his confidence
and playfulness make him great for a family-and his easygoing personality helps him get
along with any kitty he meets. Trapper loves
to sleep on the bed with you and often will
end up crashed on the couch on your feet.
This little goof can’t wait to find his purr-fect

Knowing When To Repair or Replace Three of Your Home’s
Major Systems - the Furnace, Air Conditioner and Water Heater
(BPT) - If your furnace, air conditioner or
water heater is not working properly, you probably notice it long before you actually inspect
the appliance itself. You know because those
winter mornings are a little too cold, those
July days are a little too hot or your morning
showers are chillier than normal. All three are
signs that these crucial systems are not running
as efficiently as they once did.
You know you need to make a fast decision
to either repair or replace, but how do you
know which is the right choice? Follow these
tips from the professionals at Rheem to point
you in the right direction and help you make
the best possible decision.
early days, you are probably better off paying
for the repairs instead of replacing the system.
You Should Replace If:
• The previous points are untrue. If your appliance is not under warranty, in the later stages
of life and/or has been subject to poor maintenance, a replacement will probably be necessary.
• Your unit is running inefficiently. Inefficient
is defined as running excessively, constantly
turning on and off and failing to heat or cool
your home, or provide you with enough hot
water. If you notice any of these problems and
your unit is in the later stages of its life, it’s
time for a replacement.
• Its inefficiencies are hitting you in the pocket
book. You may not notice that your unit is
running excessively, but you’ll certainly notice
a change in your energy bill. If an outdated,
old furnace, air conditioner or water heater is
causing a spike in monthly energy expenditures,
then it’s time to replace your system.
Be sure to talk with a qualified contractor
before you move forward with any repairs or
replacements as they can give you customized
advice based upon your family’s heating, cooling or water heating demands and your current
system’s performance. •
You Should Repair If:
• It’s still under warranty. This may seem
obvious but many people forget to check the
warranty when their HVAC or water heating
system has an issue. If your appliance is still
under warranty, having it repaired is a smart
financial decision. You’ll be out the cost for
the technician’s labor but you’ll save money
compared to buying new.
• You’ve maintained the product over the years.
If you’ve treated your HVAC system to seasonal
tune-ups and changed the air filters regularly,
and done things like flushing sediment and
checking the anode rod in your water heater,
repairing an arising problem is the better choice
because the trouble is likely to be smaller.
• It’s still in its youth. Every water heater,
air conditioner or furnace will need repairs
at different times depending on usage and
environment, but if your product is still in its
