Show me what you think you are, and I’ll show you what you actually are, and then you can decide which version of yourself is the one you wish to portray to the world.
How many of us have had this conversation with ourselves time and time again only to come to the same conclusion each time? I don’t deserve “this” or I don’t deserve “that” because of something I have done, or sim-ply because I am not enough. It’s amazing the power your thoughts can have over your en-tire life, often drastically altering your own path.
I was lucky in that I grew up in a loving home, with loving par-ents and great examples of what family, love and friendship look
like. My father loved my mother and she loved him, and we were kissed and hugged and smoth-ered with attention as well. We had the suburban upbringing: two kids and a dog - sans the picket fence (ours was a block wall) - and a neighborhood full of friends to play with until the street lights came on and we rushed our dirty hands and tousled hair back to our happy homes.
But somewhere along the transition from jubilant child to responsible adult, I stopped see-ing myself as “deserving” of the love I had witnessed growing up. I let my own guilt and apathy for others override my own right to be loved as deeply and sincerely as I once was.
As a woman and a mother I began to believe that everyone else came first, and while I still
We Accept the Love We Think We deservethink this is a great philosophy to live by, it’s not exactly correct. If you put the needs of others in front of your own, you can avoid becoming a selfish person, but there has to be a line drawn at some point. You are in charge of that line, and the power that comes with that is profound.
Loving another does not mean that you do it at the expense of your own soul. If you are a follower of Christ, then any love that takes you away from His path is at the expense of your own soul. Loving another shouldn’t hurt. While there is often emotional pain involved in loving another person, that love should not cause your heart to constantly ache. True love builds you up and makes you a greater version of yourself; it does not tear you down with ugly words
and forgotten promises. Loving another means you let them be “themselves” even if that “self” isn’t what you completely un-derstand. The greatest gift you can give another is to allow them to be who they are, and accept them with all their craziness, all their insecurities, and all their unique imperfections.
The strange thing is that when you turn these gifts around and apply them to yourself, you real-ize that until you can love your-self in this same way, you really can’t truly love another. What we think we deserve – consciously or unconsciously – we accept. It is only when we change our own perceptions and really start lov-ing ourselves in that same self-less way that we can demand the love we know we deserve. Life is too short to settle; so don’t.

did You Know?
By K.p. SandeR
According to del Monte Foods – prominent grower, distributor and marketer of a variety of veg-etables, fruits, and other foods - 30 million green-bean casserole dishes made a grand appearance on Thanksgiving tables this year, and that’s no surprise. Since the Campbell’s Soup Company came up with their famous recipe a la cream of mushroom soup and french fried onions in 1955, menu planners nationwide make sure a version of this staple is included for holiday dinners.
del Monte – in accordance with their Green Bean Index – has
conducted a study to see which states have the most love for the green-bean casserole. Their bean counters asked 1,500 Americans to rate their “fondness for the dish,” and they came up with a listing of the Top 20 States with an affinity for the green bean.
The top three states are Ken-tucky (78% of residents ‘really like or love the dish’); Wisconsin (77%); and Missouri (76%); which seems about right since the classic Green-Bean Casserole seems like a good, old-fashioned, mid-western dish. New Yorkers bottomed out the list with a more modest affection of 60%. And Californians hit the mid-mark, coming in at #9 with 69%.
Apparently there are some madcap chefs out there who do not adhere to the recipe, and the del Monte study also found out the top five favorite secret ingre-dients that pushed the dish a bit over the top.
The number one ingredient is bacon (37%) ; fo l l owed by cheese (19%); mushrooms (15%); breadcrumbs – or a version thereof (12%); and almonds (8%).
If you didn’t serve the famous Green-Bean Cassero le this Thanksgiving, but are feeling a bit nostalgic, visit http://www.camp-bellskitchen.com to get the recipe, and put the classic dish on your next holiday table.

The holidays are in the details at Alamo Car Wash
it all done at one stop: Alamo Car Wash and Detail Center.
dan Gerstner and his wife, Sylvia, opened Alamo 18 years ago, and they have run the busi-ness with a simple philosophy ever since.
“Our philosophy is to always have satisfied customers. We want them to be satisfied with what we do here, and 99.9 per-cent of the time, they are,” Ger-stner said.
Situated in a four-acre com-plex at the corner of Nogales and Francesca drive in Walnut, Alamo features a hand car wash,
a Mobil gas station and an Xpress Lube oil change center, as well as a number of shops, which the Gerstners rent mostly to automo-tive-related businesses, but also include restaurants, beauty sa-lons, a dentist’s office, a locksmith and a bookkeeping service.
`“We even have a shoeshine guy. It’s really a one-stop shop,” Gerstner said.
The car wash offers full-service hand car washes and detailing, which include waxing, buffing and interior cleaning, as well as an express wash for people on the go.
Asked why people should visit Alamo instead of other area car washes, Gerstner said, “I don’t
know what other car washes do, but I know what we do. We’re very picky about service and the little details. And usually, when the car comes out, it’s cleaner than it’s ever been.”
Package washes are popular, Gerstner said, especially the Sil-ver Package Wash. It includes an air freshener, sealer wax, polish wax, rainbow wax, clear coat sealant and Armor-All on the car’s tires.
Looking for the perfect holiday gift or stocking stuffer? Give the gift of a clean car with a multi-wash book from Alamo.

Alamo’s oil change service is also extremely popular.
“Our quick lube service is very complete. We do the complete maintenance service for the car, including transmission, power steering, brake fluid, the cooling system and fuel emissions ser-vice. Plus, oil change customers receive a free car wash.
Gerstner admits that Alamo is not the cheapest place to have your car washed or serviced, but maintains that the services they offer make them competitive with
just about anybody else.“We offer a higher level of
service than many other places, and that’s why we’ve been so successful. People love their cars - their car is like their baby - and it’s unbelievable how some of them treat their cars. We see customers who come in twice a week, and their cars look clean, but they still want them washed here,” he explained.
If you want to see the differ-ence in the way Alamo Car Wash and detail Center can make your car look and run, visit them at 784 N. Nogales Street in Walnut. For more information, including busi-ness hours, call them at (626) 965-7922.

Success for 2014 Read Together Diamond Bar
Juvenile Hall by Mark Salzman. In 1997, bestselling author, Salzman, paid a reluctant visit to a writing class at the Los Angeles Central Juvenile Hall, a lockup for violent teenage offenders, many of them charged with murder. What he found so moved and astonished him that he began to teach there regularly. In voices of indelible emotional presence, the boys wrote about what led them to crime and about the lives that stretch ahead of them behind bars. We see them coming to terms with their crime-ridden pasts and searching for a reason to believe in their future selves.
On Wed., Oct. 1, there was an interesting panel discussion on our juvenile justice system hosted by the American Association of
University Women. The panel included the Honorable Geanene Yriarte, Superior Court Judge; Sgt. Carl Miedema of the Baldwin Park School Police Department; Dr. Amer Holmes, Psychologist; and Ms. Patricia Hattersley, Attorney at Law, and specialist in criminal representation. As experienced professionals in their field, each of-fered a unique perspective on the juvenile justice system and how it affects our communities.
Wed., Oct. 8 was Open Mic for Children, with a talent show for ages 4 to 11 sharing their favorite stories or songs.
Wed., Oct. 15 was Movie Night at the Library, where families en-joyed the powerful 1988 American drama film – Stand and Deliver - based on the true story of high school math teacher, Jaime Es-calante, starring Edward James Olmos.
On Wed., Oct. 22, the Friends
joined with the diamond Bar AAUW for a book discussion of True Notebooks, which was infor-mative and entertaining.
On Sat., Oct. 18, David S. Mao, Law Librarian of Congress, spoke on “Serving digital Natives in Libraries Today.” Through the courtesy of Congressman Ed Royce (CA-39), Mao visited diamond Bar to help celebrate Read Together diamond Bar and the 25th Birthday of the City of Diamond Bar.
“Public libraries that move for-ward with the technology of the day will continue to attract students eager to learn, and Mr. Mao shares my passion for ensuring that the next generation of Americans has the resources they need to excel academically,” said Royce.
One exciting part of the visit of Mr. Mao was the “A Book That Changed My Life” essay contest, open to students, ages 13 to 18.
The diamond Bar Friends offered Kindles to the top three entries. First place winner, Jiachen Jiang, a student at Troy High School, wrote a heartfelt letter to Sir Terry Pratchett. In second place, Al-exandra Sakkis, a student at the University of California Riverside, wrote her letter to Suzanne Collins. Troy Academy student, Stephon Sutphin, was the third place win-ner, who wrote to J.K. Rowlings, thanking her for introducing him to Harry Potter. The three win-
ning essays are displayed at the Diamond Bar Library.
Read Together diamond Bar is a community-wide project open to individuals, companies and other organizations with many opportu-nities to participate. The Diamond Bar Friends of the Library is al-ready planning for Read Together Diamond Bar 2015, next October. We encourage you to be part of this exciting community project.

OC teacher’s aide charged with unlawful sexual relationship
County Sheriff’s department (OCSD), Richard Nolan Green, 28, of Yorba Linda, has been charged with one felony count of unlawful sexual intercourse, lewd acts upon a child, and oral copulation of a minor under 16 years of age. If convicted, he faces a maximum sentence
of four years and four months in state prison and mandatory lifetime sex offender registra-tion. Green is currently out of custody on $100,000 bail and is scheduled for continued arraignment on Jan. 6, 2015, at the North Justice Center in Fullerton.
At the time of the crime, Green was a teacher’s aide for troubled youth in the Or-
ange Unified School District. The victim in this case was not a student in the class where Green was teaching.
In June, the defendant is accused of beginning an un-lawful sexual relationship with 15-year old Jane Doe. Green is accused of engaging in un-lawful sexual intercourse and orally copulating the victim at his home. Jane Doe’s parents
death for man who murdered girlfriend in front of children
County jury convicted Harts of one count each of murder and attempted murder, as well as five counts of felony child en-
ie from page 1dangerment and one count of being a felon in possession of a handgun. The jury also found a special circumstance allega-tion of lying in wait. That finding made Harts eligible for the death penalty. The same jurors then heard testimony in the penalty phase before deciding that Harts should be sentenced to death.
On Feb. 21, 2011, Harts shot his former girlfriend, Brandi Mo-rales, 34, in the Moreno Valley home she shared with her six children who, at the time of the murder, ranged in age from 6 to 15. Harts had previously lived at the house and the couple had broken off their relationship several weeks earlier.
On the night of the murder, Harts had earlier called the home and spoken to each of the children, telling one to leave a
sliding glass door unlocked.At about 12:30 a.m. on Feb.
21, 2011, the two oldest chil-dren were awakened by the screams of their mother from the upstairs master bedroom. The oldest boy grabbed a knife from the kitchen, went to see what was wrong, and saw his mother being held down. Harts then pulled out a handgun and fired at the boy, who then ran downstairs. The shots woke up the other four younger children who then saw their mother lit on fire by the attacker. The children started filling cups with water in an attempt to put out the fire.
Police and fire personnel were called, and the victim was pronounced dead at the scene. An autopsy showed that Morales had been shot in

dB aims to renew medical marijuana prohibition
Bar for another 12 months.While California Proposition
215 currently declares that patients and caregivers who possess or grow marijuana for medical treatment recommend-ed by a physician are exempt from criminal laws on the state level, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in 2005 in Gonzales v. Raich, that medical marijuana grown for medicinal purposes is still illegal.
According to Mayor Pro Tem, Steve Tye, the renewed ordi-nance would align the City with
MaRiJuana from page 1federal laws – cutting out any problems with conflicting laws regarding the drug.
“Fundamentally, the problem as far as we’re concerned as a community is there is a very, very clear conflict between state and federal law when it comes to the use of marijuana,” Tye said. “So what we’re doing as a city is following federal law. The use and distribution is still - regardless of what states are doing - in direct violation of federal law.”
Tye said it is in the best interest of the City and its residents to adhere to the higher federal laws, which overrides California’s laws, since medical
marijuana dispensaries can still be closed down by the federal government, causing problems for store owners and custom-ers.
Tye said his motivations, and the motivations of the diamond Bar City Council, are purely in accordance with the law and are not influenced by personal feelings toward marijuana.
“We’re not making a value judgment on the use or benefits of medical marijuana,” Tye said. “We’re simply, at this time, com-plying with federal drug laws.”
The City Council will once again meet to vote on the ordi-nance during its next meeting on Dec 2.

Happy Thanksgiving
Nov. 29 - Dec. 5, 2014 9Weekly News Columnists
By paStoR MaRK hoppeR
Thanksgiv-ing is one of my favor i te holidays of the year. I love the smell of the turkey roast-ing in the oven on Thanksgiving Day.
I love the good food that is part of Thanksgiving dinner, like mashed potatoes and gravy, fresh vegetables and warm rolls. I also love pumpkin pie with a generous pile of whipped cream!
I don’t enjoy all the dirty dish-es, pots and pans that have to be cleaned up at the end of the day. But, I guess that is the
price we pay for such a wonder-ful dinner.
More than all the great food and desserts, the thing I enjoy most about Thanksgiving is the time with our family and friends. I love to sit around the dinner table and listen to the conversation and laughter. I enjoy the stories that we share and the memories that they rekindle.
A Gift From The Heart Is PricelessBy nanCy StoopS
Times are tough for so many right now. I know the media makes us feel like we show our love by spending lots of mon-ey. It shows people giving diamonds and luxu ry ca rs and the mes-sage is that if you really love somebody, you’ll give them this type of gift. The truth is that most people don’t have that kind of
money to spend on themselves, much less somebody else.
Many people tell me they feel bad because they wish they had more money to spend this holiday season. Maybe I’m wrong, but the true meaning of the holiday is to spread love and kindness - and those things are free.
There are many ways to show love and kindness. This time of year is about reminding all the special people in our lives how very much we appreciate them. I have many people every year - besides my family and friends
- that I get a tiny gift for. I don’t spend too much, but they sure do appreciate my gesture.
I always love spending time with my family and friends, but this time of year is special be-cause we all have time off and we have more time to be together. We love sharing meals together, singing songs, baking cookies, laughing, creating memories, taking pictures and getting all of the generations together.
For us, the holidays are about having fun and just having more time to express our love for each

Dear Dr. Akiyoshi:do you know anything about
hydrogen peroxide therapy? My neighbor has cancer. He read an article that said hydro-gen peroxide therapy might help him. I hate to see him waste his time on far-fetched ideas. What’s your opinion?
-Malia
dear Malia:There is a book available called,
“The One Minute Cure,” by Madi-son Cavanaugh. It operates on the premise that many diseases cannot survive in a body that is in a highly oxygenated state. I tested the protocol on myself a few years ago to see if I would recommend it
to any of my patients. If I were ill, I would definitely consider complet-ing the process.
If your neighbor is interested in Natural Healing and Alternative Medicine, please be supportive. Allow him to be comfortable with his healing choices instead of put-ting him in a position of having to defend himself. If he is under a doctor’s care, he is probably get-ting plenty of feedback.

Brahma Golfers Sign College Letters Of IntentBy Kelli gile
Diamond Bar - Two diamond Bar High School varsity boys’ golfers have signed national col-lege letters of intent.
Senior Sahith Theegala will at-tend Pepperdine University, and senior Jefferson Kao will attend University of California, Irvine in the fall.
“It’s exciting and kind of unbe-lievable,” Kao said about the re-ceiving the athletic scholarship.
Theegala and Kao have been varsity players since their fresh-man year.
“Entering the Brahma team, we already knew all the players. It was like a big family because we played junior golf,” Kao ex-plained. “Our goal was to help each other improve, improve as
“I’m happy with the team, I already feel like it’s a family.”
Theegala said he only needed to look at a few colleges before making his decision.
“It feels awesome,” Theegala said after the signing day. “Pep-perdine met all my requirements and the coaches are amazing,” the 16-year old said. He’ll be 17 in a week.
Theegala agreed that the long-term golf relationships helped the Brahma team.
“We all knew each other com-ing here and kind of fed off each other. And when the golf season starts we have so much fun. It goes by too fast!”
“The diamond Bar Golf Pro-gram has had some great suc-cess over the past few years, mostly due to the great ac-
complishments of Sahith Thee-gala and Jefferson Kao,” praised Coach Ty Watkins.
The dBHS Boys Golf Team was named 2012 League Cham-pions, CIF Champions, 2013 League Champions, CIF Cham-pions, 2014 League Champions, and CIF Runner-ups.
“The Varsity Boys Golf Team has been riding on the coat tails of these two extraordinary young men, we are hoping to make one more run at a CIF title, and maybe even a run at a CIF State championship, like the diamond Bar Girls team. Our team is incredibly excited for Sahith and Jefferson, and we know the Pep-perdine community of Malibu and the Irvine community will benefit because of these two wonderful men,” said Watkins.
a team, and to play our best.” Kao first picked up the clubs
at 6-years of age, and they were
the plastic ones. Now 17, he is excited about his decision to play at UC Irvine.

Walnut - Mt. San Antonio College’s Pathways to Transfer program - a program designed to help students complete a de-gree and transfer to a four-year university - recently received a $100,000 donation from San Ga-briel Valley Charitable Founda-tion philanthropist, Gary Chow.
The two-year $100,000 gift will help the Pathways program
Donor’s Gift Boosts Mt. SAC Pathways Programcontinue its work to provide an accelerated learning program to help students taking basic skills English and math courses suc-ceed and keep them on track to transfer.
Through the program, stu-dents in basic skills courses take classes in cohort groups with the same instructor in an acceler-ated time frame. Three courses are fit into an intersession and semester so that students are
fully engaged in the subject. The classes include the same instruc-tor throughout the sequence to provide a sense of continuity, and each class has a tutor to provide additional help.
The courses are also linked to a learning community class, a counseling class, or a library class. The result has been a dramatic rise in completion rates, a decrease in English and math phobias, and increased student
self-confidence.“There is a sense of continuity
and support in this program that enables basic skills students to succeed at higher levels and makes this program unique,” said Mt. SAC American Lan-guage Professor and Basic Skills Coordinator, Glenda Bro.
In the last year, persistence rates for Pathways students were 36 percent higher in math courses compared to non-Path-
ways students. In English, Path-ways students performed 27 per-cent better than non-Pathways students.
Persistence rates measure whether students successful-ly complete the sequence of courses.
“These students aren’t just passing one class. They are committing to the program and completing the entire sequence of classes,” said Bro.
Holiday Safety Tipsname visibly displayed on cloth-ing or bags.
• Check your basic vehicle maintenance (gas, lights, tire pressure).
• drive defensively and cour-teously.
• do not drive across parking stalls; use marked driving lanes and obey all traffic signs.
• Remember, parking lots will be more crowded and checkout lanes will be busier, so be pa-tient and have a safe shopping experience.
