After hard-fought wins against teams from West Covina, Covina and Diamond Bar, in a grueling double-header on July
8th, the Sierra Madre Pony Baseball 13 year old All Stars again defeated the power-house team from West Covina to become
Regional Champions for the first time in more than twenty years. According to Sierra Madre Pony League President Jeff
Dapper, “ Winning Regionals is a very big deal for our small town and we are all extremely proud of these young men and
what they’ve accomplished so far. This is not a team that relies on the talent of a few exceptional players but rather a tight
group of solid ballplayers who win by simply wearing the other team down because they never let up, from the first pitch
to the last out. ” Sierra Madre now advances to the Pony Super Region Tournament in Whittier and we wish them the best
of luck.

SUMMER TERM IN FULL SWING AT MT. SIERRA COLLEGE.
NEW STUDENTS AND GRADUATES EXPERIENCE NEW BEGINNINGS.
MONROVIA, CA – The Mt. Sierra College
Summer Quarter officially kicked off on
Monday July 8, 2013. The student population
for the Summer Quarter is a combination
of new and continuing students. The new
student population includes graduates from
local high schools as well as students with a
few years of community college experience.
Some of the local high schools represented
in the incoming class are Monrovia,
Baldwin Park, Covina, Herbert Hoover,
and John Boroughs high schools. The new
student population also includes working
adults who are interested in growing in
their current careers or have planned to
make a career change based in a Mt. Sierra
College degree.
Mt. Sierra College offers four starts during the
academic year to facilitate timely graduation.
Students can graduate in 3 years or less depending
on their number of credits transferred in from a
community college and their quarter unit load.
Class schedules are flexible and available year-
around to support degree completion and entry
into the job market.
On June 27, 2013, the New Student Orientation
welcomed the incoming class for Summer
2013. The event was held in the Mt. Sierra
College Auditorium where Kristen Stabb,
College Director, and Justin Phillips, Director
of Academic Advisement, presented a roadmap
for new students to successfully complete their
respective bachelor’s degrees. The speakers
highlighted some of the key services such as free
tutoring and the “The First Year Experience”
available to students through Student Services,
Financial Aid, Academic Affairs and Career
Services. Mt. Sierra College students are
assigned an advisor from each department
throughout their degree program while Career
Services continues to work with graduates to
assist with employment in their respective fields
of study.
While new students were at the starting line of
their journey toward graduation, 53 Mt. Sierra
College students were getting ready for the
21st Commencement Ceremony. Mt. Sierra
College’s 21st Commencement Ceremony was
held on June 29, 2013 at the First Church of
Nazarene in Pasadena, California. This year’s
commencement featured former California
Assemblymember Anthony Portantino as
keynote speaker. Other speakers were John
Davis, Vice President and CFO, on behalf of
the Board of Directors; Kristen Stabb, College
Director; Tim Botengan, Associate Dean of
Academic Affairs; Robert Allen, Game Arts &
Design graduate with Cum Laude; Robert A.
Maltz, Business Administration graduate; and
Rachel Simanjuntak, Graphic Design graduate.
In her speech Simanjuntak thanked the faculty,
administrators and fellow students for making
her journey to graduation not only rewarding
but also challenging and unique. She said: “Mt.
Sierra College has been so much more than an
educational institution for me. It has been a
place of growth.” Simanjuntak continued: “I
have been transformed so quickly into so much
more of a stronger person and for that, I am
forever in their debt.”
In closing Simanjuntak stated: “To my fellow
graduates, we owe each other a debt of gratitude
as well. We have inspired, pushed, and carried
each other along this path. And I for one consider
myself lucky to be counted among you today.
While Commencement marked the end of an
important chapter in the lives of graduates, it also
symbolized a beginning for their post-graduate
journey and search for career success.
THE REEL DEAL: by Ben Show
WHITE HOUSE DOWN
I chose not to see
‘Olympus Has Fallen’ earlier
this year and for a moment
regretted my decision.
However, my patience was
rewarded with the more
interesting looking and
better written ‘White House
Down’. I’ve been a fan of
Emmerich ever since seeing
‘Independence Day’ and I
have to say, he’s delivered
another great action movie.
Cale (Channing
Tatum), a down on his
luck man, has booked an
interview at the White
House to become a member
of the Secret Service. He
brings his young daughter,
Emily (Joey King), along
hoping to impress her. While he fails the interview, he and
his daughter soon find themselves in the middle of the most
dangerous coups of the 21st century.
While at first looking like just another summer
blockbuster, ‘White House Down’ rose above the rest with
not only its surprisingly well written screenplay but its perfect
pairing of Tatum and Foxx, who are very convincing in their
roles as an action hero and as President.
