West Coast Shotokan Karate Association Celebrates 40 years<br />
<strong>Temple</strong> <strong>City</strong>’s West Coast Shotokan Karate Association,<br />
which was founded by <strong>the</strong> late Edwin Hamille in<br />
1968, will be celebrating its 40th anniversary with a<br />
weeklong celebration beginning Monday, Oct. 13 and<br />
concluding with a banquet at <strong>the</strong> Duarte Elks Club on<br />
Saturday, Oct. 18.<br />
Currently <strong>the</strong> school is owned and managed by Ed<br />
Shanick, a 4th degree black belt. Ed is a graduate <strong>of</strong><br />
<strong>Temple</strong> <strong>City</strong> High School, Class <strong>of</strong> 1960. He started with<br />
Hamile in 1970 and was joined in <strong>the</strong> years that followed<br />
by current senior staff. They are Chief Instructor<br />
Sensei David Hurlbut (7th degree black belt); Assistant<br />
Chief Instructor Sensei Randy Tyrell (6th degree<br />
black belt); Sensei Will Adams (5th degree belt);<br />
and Senseis Tony Duran and Theresa Duenas (both 4th<br />
degree black belts).<br />
The staff shares a rich tradition established by<br />
Hamile, who was a student <strong>of</strong> Masters Hirokazu<br />
Kanazawa, Tetsuhiko Asai, who served as chairman <strong>of</strong><br />
<strong>the</strong> Japan Karate Association, and Masataka Mori.<br />
Kanazawa has been described as <strong>the</strong> finest martial artist<br />
<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> 20th Century and Asai has been labeled as<br />
probably having “no equal” as a martial artist.<br />
Hamile started karate in Hawaii as a 34-year-old,<br />
hoping to gain skills in self-defense and anger management.<br />
Already a well-rounded sportsman, he surfed, iceskated,<br />
played tennis, rode horseback and piloted private<br />
planes.<br />
Shihan Edwin Hamile was first non-Japanese recipient<br />
<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Japan Karate Association’s coveted Gichen<br />
Funakoshi Award.<br />
Business Spotlight<br />
Hamile was a radio announcer and<br />
disc jockey for radio station KIKI,<br />
Honolulu as well as a bandleader in<br />
<strong>the</strong> French Quarter in Hawaii ——<br />
<strong>the</strong> first musician to bring jazz sessions<br />
to Hawaii.<br />
In <strong>the</strong> same year he began karate,<br />
Hamile married Manon Sumiko<br />
Smith, an entertainer who specialized<br />
in Japanese songs. The following year<br />
she was awarded <strong>the</strong> first—“Mrs.<br />
Hawaii” title.<br />
After moving to Sou<strong>the</strong>rn California,<br />
Hamile taught karate in little<br />
Tokyo, while bartending in<br />
Chinatown. One <strong>of</strong> his karate students,<br />
ex-pr<strong>of</strong>essional boxer Alberto<br />
Ayala sought a building where<br />
Hamile could have his own school.<br />
Ayala found a vacant bakery at<br />
9506 Las Tunas Dr. and in October,<br />
1968 a karate dojo opened <strong>the</strong>re under<br />
<strong>the</strong> newly-formed West Coast<br />
Shotokan Karate Association.<br />
Shanick recalls <strong>the</strong> days <strong>the</strong> building<br />
was a bakery. He claims to have<br />
taken his younger bro<strong>the</strong>rs and sisters<br />
on soda pop bottle collecting excursions<br />
to exchange bottles for small<br />
cash to buy some <strong>of</strong> its delicious donuts.<br />
As a “French, Filipino, Portuguese, Chinese,” Hamile<br />
was one <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Asian pioneers <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> modern <strong>Temple</strong><br />
<strong>City</strong> business community. He was a <strong>Temple</strong> <strong>City</strong> resident<br />
and served extensively as a board member at <strong>the</strong><br />
<strong>Temple</strong> <strong>City</strong> <strong>Chamber</strong> <strong>of</strong> Commerce.<br />
In his later years, Edwin maintained a mobile home<br />

his helicopter on <strong>the</strong> front lawn to say a quick hello.<br />
Like his dad, pilot Steven distinguished himself in karate<br />
by becoming one <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> youngest brown belts in<br />
America back in <strong>the</strong> 1960s.<br />
His students enthusiastically carry on Hamile’s<br />
legacy. This new generation <strong>of</strong> leaders is strongly committed<br />
to “Ohana,” <strong>the</strong> Hawaiian idea that all involved<br />
in <strong>the</strong> dojo ——students, parents, o<strong>the</strong>r family and<br />
friends ——are part <strong>of</strong> an “extended family.”<br />

<strong>City</strong> Hall News<br />
Upgrading city’s general plan; planning for next 20 years<br />
By Charlie Martin<br />
<strong>City</strong> Manager, <strong>Temple</strong> <strong>City</strong><br />
The Council recently undertook<br />
study <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> first <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
three Task Force and Planning<br />
Commission’s recommendations<br />
concerning <strong>the</strong> upgrading<br />
<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> city’s General Plan, and<br />
devising a “plan” for <strong>the</strong> next 20<br />
years.<br />
The first subject is related to<br />
<strong>the</strong> mandated affordable housing<br />
in <strong>the</strong> city with a secondary<br />
issue <strong>of</strong> achieving and completing<br />
<strong>the</strong> Housing Element to be<br />
incorporated into <strong>the</strong> General<br />
Plan. The state has mandated<br />
that <strong>Temple</strong> <strong>City</strong> provide zoning<br />
for an additional 978 housing<br />
units within <strong>the</strong> city. The<br />
mandate doesn’t say that <strong>the</strong><br />
978 units must be built, but<br />
does say that <strong>the</strong> zoning for<br />
<strong>the</strong>m must be provided not<br />
later than 2014 in such manner<br />
as to permit <strong>the</strong> development<br />
with no administrative hurdles.<br />
Of <strong>the</strong> mandated 978 new<br />
units, almost half <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>m<br />
would have to be “affordable”<br />
– meaning <strong>the</strong>y must be available<br />
to buyers with low income.<br />
“Low” is not well defined, but<br />
as a rule <strong>of</strong> thumb, it amounts<br />
to about $25,000 per year <strong>of</strong><br />
income, for each occupant <strong>of</strong><br />
<strong>the</strong> housing unit – for two,<br />
about $50,000 per year <strong>of</strong> income,<br />
<strong>of</strong> which not more than<br />
30% may be spent on housing<br />
(i.e. about $1,200 per month<br />
for rent or mortgage plus taxes,<br />
utilities, and insurance).<br />
The 978 new housing units<br />
would be pretty close to a ten<br />
percent increase in total hous-<br />
<strong>Temple</strong> <strong>City</strong>’s <strong>City</strong> Hall and Civic Center are<br />
now operating on a four-day work week. <strong>of</strong>fice<br />
hours are Monday through Thursday, from 7:30<br />
a.m. until 6 p.m. and closed Fridays.<br />
Live Oak Park Community Center operating<br />
hours are Monday through Friday, from 8 a.m.<br />
until 10 p.m. and on Saturday and Sunday, from<br />
ing units presently in <strong>the</strong> city,<br />
and (if built) would have an<br />
impact on traffic, parking,<br />
sewer capacity, drainage facilities,<br />
schools, city government<br />
and <strong>the</strong> number <strong>of</strong> employees,<br />
as well as many factors <strong>of</strong> city<br />
life. Yet, it must be done unless<br />
<strong>the</strong> law is changed or court action<br />
invalidates <strong>the</strong> state mandate.<br />
The present law provides for<br />
<strong>the</strong> “possibility” <strong>of</strong> draconian<br />
sanctions for failure to meet <strong>the</strong><br />
mandated goals. So far, <strong>the</strong> California<br />
Department <strong>of</strong> Housing<br />
and Community Development<br />
has pressured, but has not yet<br />
actually levied any substantial<br />
fines or penalties.<br />
There are several collateral<br />
issues that were discussed, but<br />
without decision thus far:<br />
(1) Would it be better to concentrate<br />
<strong>the</strong> 978 units (or at<br />
least <strong>the</strong> affordable ones) in one<br />
or two places in town, or disperse<br />
<strong>the</strong>m as much as possible<br />
throughout <strong>the</strong> whole community<br />
(inclusionary zoning) – so<br />
as to lessen <strong>the</strong> breath <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
impact city-wide?<br />
(2) How many stories is <strong>the</strong><br />
city willing to have built (depending<br />
on <strong>the</strong> location) when<br />
as many as six stories might accomplish<br />
<strong>the</strong> goal by itself?<br />
(3) Does <strong>the</strong> city want mixed<br />
use (living quarters over stores<br />
and industrial complexes)<br />
along Rosemead Blvd. and Las<br />
Tunas Drive, or in all commercial<br />
and industrial zones?<br />
(4) Does <strong>the</strong> city want to<br />
subsidize <strong>the</strong> rent for some <strong>of</strong><br />
<strong>the</strong> units?<br />
In <strong>the</strong> coming weeks, <strong>the</strong><br />
Planning Commission’s recommendations<br />
regarding increasing<br />
sale tax revenue in <strong>the</strong> commercial<br />
zones, stopping <strong>the</strong><br />
drain <strong>of</strong> retail businesses, and<br />
increasing <strong>the</strong> sales ambience<br />
will be reviewed by <strong>the</strong> <strong>City</strong><br />
Council.<br />
After that, <strong>the</strong> <strong>City</strong> Council<br />
will review <strong>the</strong> recommendations<br />
relating to new parks and<br />
recreation – including <strong>the</strong> concept<br />
<strong>of</strong> requiring major developers<br />
to donate funds or property<br />
for pocket parks.<br />
Then <strong>the</strong> <strong>City</strong> Council will<br />
make decisions on all three<br />
study areas (housing, commercial,<br />
and parks) with ano<strong>the</strong>r<br />
hearing and adoption <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
necessary resolutions and ordinances.<br />
New <strong>of</strong>fice hours at <strong>City</strong> Hall, Civic Center<br />
The new <strong>of</strong>fice <strong>of</strong> Social Security<br />
has relocated and is now<br />
open for business at 9351<br />
Telstar Ave., El Monte.<br />

<strong>the</strong> Interstate-10 freeway. Exit<br />

<strong>of</strong> Telstar and Rio Hondo<br />
Avenue. Public transportation<br />

8:30 a.m. until 10 p.m.<br />
The new <strong>of</strong>fice hours for <strong>City</strong> Hall and <strong>the</strong><br />
Civic Center have provided residents additional<br />
time to conduct business before heading <strong>of</strong>f to<br />
work and after arriving home.<br />

in 1944 with a contest held by<br />
<strong>the</strong> Woman’s Club <strong>of</strong> <strong>Temple</strong><br />
<strong>City</strong> that brought forth a slogan,<br />
“<strong>Temple</strong> <strong>City</strong>, Home <strong>of</strong><br />
Camellias.” Starting with a<br />
handful <strong>of</strong> youngsters <strong>the</strong> first<br />
year, who tossed Camellia blossoms<br />
to <strong>the</strong> viewers along Las<br />
Tunas Drive, <strong>the</strong> parade has<br />
grown in size and significance.<br />

Comfortable lodging available in nearby Rosemead<br />
By Tommy Low, Farmers<br />
Insurance Agent<br />
For baby boomers planning<br />
<strong>the</strong>ir retirement, life insurance<br />
is a very significant issue.<br />
Whe<strong>the</strong>r to create an estate, save<br />
money or help loved ones after<br />
death, life insurance is important.<br />
Life Insurance creates an estate<br />
to help compensate for <strong>the</strong><br />
death <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> primary wage<br />
earner that will usually stop <strong>the</strong><br />
flow <strong>of</strong> income to a family. Also<br />
financially devastating can be<br />
<strong>the</strong> death <strong>of</strong> a nonworking<br />
spouse who cares for minor<br />
children. Planning for survivor<br />
Photo by Jerry Jambazian<br />
Comfort Suites Rosemead, 9488 Valley Blvd., Rosemead, opened for business in 2007.<br />
The necessity <strong>of</strong> life insurance<br />
protection requires careful examination<br />
<strong>of</strong> current assets and<br />
liabilities as well as determining<br />
what survivors’ needs maybe.<br />
A person may create an estate<br />
through earnings, savings<br />
and investments over a period<br />
<strong>of</strong> time. However, all <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>se<br />
methods require disciplined<br />
action. If time is not available,<br />
<strong>the</strong>y may all fail.<br />
The purchase <strong>of</strong> life insurance,<br />
in <strong>the</strong> event <strong>of</strong> death, creates<br />
an immediate estate. Estate<br />
creation is especially important<br />
for young families what are getting<br />
started and have not yet<br />
had time to accumulate assets.<br />
Tommy Low, insurance agent.<br />
When an insured person purchases<br />
a life insurance policy, he<br />
or she will have an estate <strong>of</strong> at<br />
least that amount <strong>the</strong> moment<br />
<strong>the</strong> first premium is paid.<br />
There is no o<strong>the</strong>r legal<br />
method whereby an immediate<br />
estate can be created at such a<br />
small cost. Life insurance proceeds<br />
may be used to accumulate<br />
specific amounts <strong>of</strong> funds<br />
for specific needs and guarantees<br />
that a specific amount will<br />
be available when needed.<br />
One <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> essential differences<br />
between life insurance<br />
and o<strong>the</strong>r types <strong>of</strong> insurance is<br />
that life insurance also performs<br />
<strong>the</strong> function <strong>of</strong> accumulation.<br />
A permanent life insurance<br />
will have loan or surrender<br />
values that <strong>the</strong> policy owner<br />
may access.<br />
In <strong>the</strong> event <strong>the</strong> insured dies,<br />
<strong>the</strong> beneficiary will be provided<br />
with <strong>the</strong> immediate cash necessary<br />
to pay expenses associated<br />
with death.<br />
Life insurance proceeds may<br />
be used to pay state inheritance<br />
taxes and federal estate taxes so<br />
that it is not necessary to sell <strong>of</strong>f<br />
assets from <strong>the</strong> estate to pay<br />
<strong>the</strong>se costs.<br />

Boosting Immunity —<br />
Taking care <strong>of</strong> oneself is<br />
a full-time occupation<br />
By Sheila Yonemoto, P.T.<br />
When I first started practicing as a<br />
physical <strong>the</strong>rapist, most <strong>of</strong> my patients<br />
wanted a quick fix that didn’t require<br />
much work.<br />
Today, <strong>the</strong>y may come in with a particular<br />
condition hindering <strong>the</strong>ir functioning,<br />
but in fact, <strong>the</strong>y actually want<br />
to improve <strong>the</strong>ir overall health and prevent<br />
fur<strong>the</strong>r deterioration <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>ir bodies.<br />
No longer satisfied with taking medications<br />
to merely make <strong>the</strong>m “feel better,”<br />
<strong>the</strong>y actually wish to improve to <strong>the</strong><br />
point where <strong>the</strong>y no longer need medications<br />
and can actually fight <strong>of</strong>f future<br />
illnesses.<br />
We all know diet, exercise and mental<br />
states affect health, and everyone<br />
knows positive changes in lifestyles and<br />
habits improve health. We understand<br />
how taking control <strong>of</strong> our health habits<br />
now will help keep us out <strong>of</strong> hospitals<br />
later.<br />
Most people include fresh fruits and<br />
vegetables in <strong>the</strong>ir diet and restrict red<br />
meat intake. Processed foods and depleted<br />
soils make foods less nutritious<br />
than 50 years ago, so adding supplements<br />
may also boost an individual’s health.<br />
Daily exercise, however, remains<br />
problematic for <strong>the</strong> majority, even<br />
though we know we should do it. Once<br />
a person has experienced an injury, however,<br />
he is more likely to develop <strong>the</strong> exercise<br />
habit.<br />
Changing and managing stress levels<br />
may seem difficult at first, but once stress<br />
factors are recognized, most people can<br />
take steps to reduce stress in <strong>the</strong>ir lives.<br />
One way you can both reduce stress and<br />
boost your immune system is looking for<br />
things that make you smile and feel<br />
happy. Studies show happier people are<br />
healthier.<br />
Norman Cousins cured himself from<br />
an incurable disease using laughter while<br />
watching funny movies. Many relaxation<br />
techniques calm <strong>the</strong> nervous system and<br />
stimulate your body’s healing capabilities.<br />
Deep diaphragmatic breathing or taking<br />
a pleasant walk around <strong>the</strong> neighborhood<br />
admiring <strong>the</strong> flowers and trees can<br />
activate your own self-healing. When <strong>the</strong><br />
body is relaxed, more oxygen gets to vari-<br />
Jerry and Pat Jambazian<br />
Sheila Yonemoto, P.T.<br />
ous parts <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> body, thus increasing <strong>the</strong><br />
body’s nutrition supply.<br />
As a physical <strong>the</strong>rapist, some <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
techniques I use help boost <strong>the</strong> immune<br />
system as do some osteopathic and acupuncture/acupressure<br />
techniques. As a<br />
qigong (Chinese energetic exercise) instructor,<br />
I teach specific exercise forms<br />
to boost <strong>the</strong> immune system.<br />
In Chinese medical <strong>the</strong>ory, <strong>the</strong> body’s<br />
energy manufacturing centers are influenced<br />
using certain movements, improving<br />
<strong>the</strong> body’s ability to fend <strong>of</strong>f disease.<br />
Taking care <strong>of</strong> ones’ self is a full-time<br />
occupation. You can start by simply sitting<br />
down, taking a few deep breaths and<br />
relaxing your body.<br />
Sit quietly for a few minutes, and begin<br />
noticing surrounding sounds, smells,<br />
sights and sensations. Try relaxing your<br />
body fur<strong>the</strong>r concentrating on a very<br />
happy thought. Smile and enjoy <strong>the</strong> feelings.<br />
Then think about being healthy and<br />
active.<br />
Reorient yourself to <strong>the</strong> environment<br />
and see if things appear differently. Try<br />
doing this for two weeks and see if it<br />
makes a difference in how you feel or act.<br />
If it makes you feel better, pass <strong>the</strong> word<br />
on to a friend.<br />

Protect Marriage Amendment (Proposition 8) deserves passage<br />
I would never, ever, endorse a candidate from <strong>the</strong><br />
pulpit. Not only is it illegal, more important is <strong>the</strong> fact<br />
that’s it’s wrong — it’s an abuse <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> pulpit. It detracts<br />
from <strong>the</strong> church’s central mission,<br />
which is to present Jesus<br />
Christ.<br />
However I would, and now<br />
do, tell you how strongly I feel<br />
about <strong>the</strong> Protect Marriage<br />
Amendment (Proposition 8),<br />
which you will have a chance<br />
to vote on in November. The<br />
same day America selects a<br />
new President, California will<br />
decide what to do about <strong>the</strong><br />
Dr. Glenn Layne<br />
future <strong>of</strong> marriage in California. And make no mistake:<br />
what California does will shape what happens all across<br />
America.<br />
That is why I intend to vote for Prop 8 on November<br />
4. You will have to decide how you will vote. But this is<br />
how I’m voting, and I want to explain why.<br />
First, I am voting this way because how I vote must<br />
be informed by my faith. In a democracy, God holds<br />
me and you accountable for my part in <strong>the</strong> decisions<br />
made in my country. Here are some Biblical realities,<br />
which inform <strong>the</strong> way I am voting:<br />
• God intentionally designed and created us male and<br />
female. (Gen. 1:27; Gen. 5:1-2; Matt. 19:4; Mark 10:6)<br />
• God intended sexual intimacy to be enjoyed only<br />
within <strong>the</strong> context <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> male and female relationship.<br />
(Gen. 1:28; Matt. 19:5, Mark 10:7-8; Romans 1:24-32)<br />
• God intends marriage to be a committed, life-long,<br />
covenant relationship between a man and a woman<br />
based on love, respect, mutual submission and personal<br />
...how I vote must be<br />
informed by my faith.<br />

In fact, heterosexual marriage<br />
is found in nearly every<br />
human society and almost<br />
always as a pivotal institution.<br />
sacrifice. (Matt. 5:31-32; Matt. 19:3-11; Mal. 2:14-16;<br />
Mark 10:2-12; I Cor. 7:10-16; Deut. 5:18, 21; Eph. 5:21-<br />
33)<br />
• Jesus confirmed that God’s design is only to be fulfilled<br />
within <strong>the</strong> context <strong>of</strong> a committed marriage <strong>of</strong><br />
one man and one woman. (Matt. 19:3-11; Mark 10:2-<br />
12).<br />
• Children are a blessing. God’s design is that moms<br />
and dads create and raise children. (Gen. 1:28; Psalm<br />
127:3-5; Proverbs 22:6)<br />
• God’s design is to have dad and mom train <strong>the</strong>ir<br />
children to love, honor and obey God. (Deut. 4:1-9;<br />
Proverbs 22:6)<br />
• All sexual activity outside <strong>of</strong> God’s design (marriage)<br />
is forbidden’— it is morally impure and personally<br />

• There is tremendous safety and blessing in following<br />
God’s plan for marriage. (Deut. 5:10; Exodus 20:6;<br />
Deut. 4:1-9; Romans 2:5-10)<br />
Second, I am voting for <strong>the</strong> PMA because <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> need<br />
to preserve marriage’s stabilizing role in society.<br />
In all or nearly all human societies, marriage is <strong>the</strong><br />
socially approved union between a woman and a man,<br />
conceived both as a personal relationship and as an institution,<br />
so that any children resulting from <strong>the</strong> union<br />
are understood to be emotionally, morally, practically<br />
and legally affiliated with both <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> parents.<br />
The history <strong>of</strong> marriage demonstrates that non-recognition<br />
<strong>of</strong> same-sex “marriages” does not stem from a<br />
particular religious tradition; it is universal. Even secular<br />
and aggressively a<strong>the</strong>ist regimes (like <strong>the</strong> old Soviet<br />
Union) have never recognized same-sex “marriages.”<br />
In fact, heterosexual marriage is found in nearly every<br />
human society and almost always as a pivotal institution.<br />
Homosexual marriage outside contemporary<br />
Western societies is exceedingly rare and has never been<br />
considered <strong>the</strong> equivalent <strong>of</strong> male/female marriage,<br />
even in societies that had a”“tolerant” attitude toward<br />
homosexuality (like ancient Greece).<br />
Marriage (real, God-designed heterosexual marriage)<br />
is good for men, for women and for children.<br />
Marriage is good financially, from a health standpoint<br />
and from mental health standpoint.<br />
Research clearly demonstrates that family structure<br />
matters for children, and <strong>the</strong> family structure that helps<br />
<strong>the</strong> most is a family headed by two-biological parents<br />
in a low-conflict marriage.<br />
On <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r hand, nations in Europe that have experimented<br />
with same-sex marriage discover that such<br />
so-called marriages pull down <strong>the</strong> overall value <strong>of</strong> marriage<br />
and that marriage rates drop while out-<strong>of</strong>-wedlock<br />
childbearing, already at epidemic levels in Europe,<br />
rises.<br />
That’s why I’m voting for <strong>the</strong> Protect Marriage<br />
Amendment.<br />

Marian Homes was initiated in February <strong>of</strong> 1986, after a group<br />
<strong>of</strong> parents ga<strong>the</strong>red to discuss <strong>the</strong> welfare <strong>of</strong> young adults with disabilities<br />

serving <strong>the</strong>ir residents.<br />
All young adults work outside <strong>the</strong> home in <strong>the</strong> local community<br />
or in educational or vocational training settings. Several young<br />
adults have jobs working at local restaurants, schools, and day care<br />
centers.<br />

lives at <strong>the</strong> home during <strong>the</strong> week. On weekends, <strong>the</strong>re are live-in<br />

and <strong>the</strong> activities at <strong>the</strong> home.<br />
