tions, Ebola – and the public’s anxieties about the deadly virus – have gripped the country and the political land-scape. Seven states’ governors have implemented strict quarantine policies for health care workers, and sometimes even unexposed travelers, returning from Ebola hotspots. Six of them are up for reelection next week. Christie, the exception, is widely thought to be eyeing a 2016 presidential run. Meanwhile, the Ebola virus con-

The Maine resi-dent had been treating Ebola patients in Sierra Leone, and was quarantined in a New Jersey hospital after land-ing at Newark Airport, despite being asymptomatic.

responsibility to protect the public health and public safety,” Christie said Tuesday in the face of mounting public criticism over New Jersey’s quarantine policy. “I will not submit to any politi-cal pressure.”

If Gov. Chris Christie decides to run for president he just might be what America needs. He is a very strong and decisive person. He has the ability to cross party lines and has done so with success on many occasions. I really think he has the best chance to defeat Hillary if she chooses to run. He has

Military Press Staff WriterI recently met someone who

warmed my heart, someone who loves this country even though he’s not a native. Hancy’s passion for America is very apparent; when he talks about the U.S., he gets tears in his eyes. Those of us born and raised in this country lose sight of what a great place this is to live.

Artist’s canvas filled with lovefor America

ed States?I’ve been here in America since

June, 2004. I live in the Oceanside area.Where do you work aboard Camp

Pendleton?I work for the Avery Group in one of

the mess halls as a cashier / attendant. I started in July of 2010, so I’ve been

there 4 years and 4 months.When did you realize

you were interested in art?Since kindergarten, I

started creating arts. I al-ways represent my class in a poster-making contest in elementary and high school.

What made you start painting American mili-tary artwork?

I decided to make arts for the U.S. troops to show my moral sup-port with dedication for them.

In talking to you, I can tell you have a deep love for this country. Can you tell me more about that?I love America

as a role model to the world and a great nation that provides troops in maintaining peace and as-suring security worldwide, like what’s happen-ing right now.

Imagine the world with-out America.

Your work has been displayed in the mess hall where you work. What do the Marines have to say about it?I easily portrayed them in arts. How

they are dedicated in their profession. I get comments saying that the art I have done is a morale booster to them.

What else do you create in addition to your watercolor painting?I am willing to show my art work in

a different medium like painting, mu-sic, poster, and architectural concept, etc. and I’ll gladly show it anywhere if needed. In addition to that, I’m also a song-writer. I have written nine songs, one is especially for the Marines called “Semper Fidelis” (For more artwork and the lyrics to his songs, visit www.militarypress.com/hancy).In addition to painting, drawing and

song-writing, I am also an architectural designer. I recently created a concep-tual design for the U.S. Marine Corps Museum on Camp Pendleton.

What does your art mean to you?I work hard at my job through the

years and still I find time to do my arts. Obviously it’s hard work and I usually find time before bed time. I do it be-cause Marines inspire me and making art is my passion.

Top, large wall portrait depicting Marine SSgt. John P. Jones who was severely wounded in Iraq. Below, Hancy’s design idea for a U.S. Marine Corps Museum aboard Camp Pendleton.

Hancy Haber emailed me here at the newspaper wanting to show me his military artwork. He took the time to ride the bus all the way to Escondido from Oceanside to meet with me. I was so touched and delighted by this gen-tleman that I thought I would share a little bit of his story and his artwork with Military Press readers.

When and where were you born?I was born on November 23, 1960 in

San Vicente, Pili, Camarines Sur, Phil-ippines.

Birth of the Marine CorpsDuring the American Revolution,

the Continental Congress passes a res-olution stating that “two Battalions of Marines be raised” for service as land-ing forces for the recently formed Con-tinental Navy. The resolution, drafted by future U.S. president John Adams and adopted in Philadelphia, created the Continental Marines and is now ob-served as the birth date of the United States Marine Corps.Serving on land and at sea, the

original U.S. Marines distinguished themselves in a number of important operations during the Revolutionary War. The first Marine landing on a hos-tile shore occurred when a force of Ma-rines under Captain Samuel Nicholas captured New Province Island in the Bahamas from the British in March 1776. Nicholas was the first commis-sioned officer in the Continental Ma-rines and is celebrated as the first Marine commandant. After American independence was achieved in 1783, the Continental Navy was demobilized and its Marines disbanded.In the next decade, however, in-

creasing conflict at sea with Revolu-tionary France led the U.S. Congress to establish formally the U.S. Navy in May 1798. Two months later, on July

11, Presi-dent John Adams signed the bill es-tablish- ing the U.S. Marine Corps as a permanent military force under the jurisdiction of the Department of Navy. U.S. Marines saw action in the so-called Quasi-War with France and then fought against the Barbary pirates of North Africa during the first years of the 19th century. Since then, Marines have participated in all the wars of the United States and in most cases were the first soldiers to fight. In all, Marines have executed more than 300 landings on foreign shores.Today, there are close to 200,000 ac-

tive-duty and reserve Marines, divided into three divisions stationed at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina; Camp Pend-leton, California; and Okinawa, Japan. Each division has one or more expedi-tionary units, ready to launch major operations anywhere in the world on two weeks’ notice. Marines expedition-ary units are self-sufficient, with their own tanks, artillery, and air forces. The motto of the service is Semper Fidelis, meaning “Always Faithful” in Latin.

All Merchant Marinesdeserve recognition

By Heather Siegel,The Siegel Sidebar

Bruce Radder fought for his country in WWII. But another 43 years went by after the War ended before he was recog-nized as a U.S. Veteran. It took the U.S. Supreme Court decision, Schumacher v Aldridge, in 1988, to overcome this injustice. Rad-der was a Merchant Mariner.

Radder’s just returned from Washington, DC, on the October 3-5, 2014, Honor Flight (see our article in our September 15, 2014 print issue). This trip was de-

signed to give Radder his well-de-served chance to

spend time with fellow vets as well as visit WWII memorials in Washington, DC. “In WWII, there was a concern

about Communism on the ports. We needed our own personnel to take care of shipping. We were dockworkers, too, at times. But we were paid differently and not eligible for VA benefits,” said Radder in a recent interview.The Merchant Ma-

rine story is well-doc-umented, including Brian Herbert’s “The Forgotten Heroes: The Heroic Story of the US Merchant Marine” (2004); “At All Costs, How a Crippled Ship and Two Ameri-can Merchant Mariners Turned the Tide of WWII” (2007, Bob Moses); and “Torpedoed for Life: World War II Com-bat Veterans of the U.S. Merchant Ma-rine” (2013, Herman G. Starnes).“The U.S. Supreme Court case gave

WWII Merchant Mariner veterans full status (in 1988), but we are still waiting

for recognition for (Merchant Marine) veterans from subsequent conflicts,” said Sindy Raymond, National Office Administrator, the American Merchant

Mariner Veterans, Inc., a non-profit veterans service organization, headquar-tered in California, that is recognized by the U.S. Department of Veteran Af-fairs.Veterans Day 2014 is

coming soon (Tuesday, No-vember 11), which is an-other reminder to the men and women who served our country on the trou-bled high seas, and who suffered the highest fatal-ity rate of all services, that they’re not getting a fair shake. Merchant Mariners

get snubbed at military honor parades because they’re still not seen as true veterans.These U.S. sailors saw combat but

don’t get the respect and the benefits to which other veterans of other servic-es are entitled. The WWII “forgotten heroes” are elderly now and include

have tight budgets and extra burdens, so Feed the Children does what we can to help. It’s our honor to visit military bases around the country and deliver boxes full of nutritious food (which can supplement meals for a family of four

for up to a week), household essentials, and hygiene products to families who could use a boost.And we’re committed to support-

ing our military employees, too. Feed the Children was recently awarded the Above and Beyond Award for our support of active military employees, and we’re currently a nominee for the Secretary of Defense Freedom Award by the Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve.Your family serves our country—

it’s Feed the Children’s honor to serve you.

MERCHANTCont’d. from Page 10African-Americans and women survi-vors.Back in San Diego, Bruce Radder

seemed philosophical about his status and service history. “I don’t feel forgot-ten,” said the widower, who now is an entertainer for his mobile park resi-dents. “But it will be up to my son, Scott, to cham-pion my rights.”Cali-

fornia U.S. Con-gressper-son Janice Hahn (D-San Pedro) has intro-duced House Bill HR.1936, Honoring Our WWII Merchant Mari-ners Act of 2013 to help get deserved compensation for these heroes.It’s up to our veteran community

to contact their own House of Repre-sentatives member to help get justice for these men and women who bled for their country. Please request the Con-gressperson become a Co-sponsor of HR.1936.

News briefs...Marines postpone uniform changesThe Corps has decided against the

proposed insignia modification that would have changed the enlisted rank worn on woodland utilities from black to brushed brass, and against the pro-posed requirement for all officers to own and wear the Sam Browne belt while in the dress blue uniform. The uniform board had sent out a survey

to Marines on these proposed uniform changes. After reviewing the survey results, Amos made his decision not to change the current regulation. Cur-rently there has not been a decision regarding the utility changeover dates. The decision is slated to be revisited in the future.

VA ‘Choice Card’:Uncertainties swirl as deadline nearsCongress last August gave the De-

partment of Veteran Affairs 90 days to issue medical “Choice Cards” to 9.1 million veterans enrolled in VA care. The tight deadline of Nov. 5 won’t be met, say representatives of major vet-eran organizations who attend periodic VA briefings on plans for rollout of the Choice Card. The card will ensure

veterans have access to private sector health care if they reside more than 40 miles from a VA clinic or hospital, or if they face unacceptable waits, usu-ally longer than 30 days, to access VA healthcare. The simple guarantee, cen-terpiece of the Veterans Access, Choice and Accountability Act of 2014, is not so simple to deliver, at least in 90 days.

Some seek to rename PTSDPhysicians Eugene Lipov, M.D. (de-

veloper of Stellate Ganglion Block for treatment of PTSD) and Frank Och-berg, M.D. Of East Lansing, Mich. agree that the word “disorder,” when associ-ated with post-traumatic stress dis-order (PTSD), completely misses the mark because the condition is medical-ly and technically a biological phenom-enon. In recent years, Dr. Ochberg has led a movement to drop “disorder” and replace it with “injury,” essentially re-

branding the acronym as Post-Traumat-ic Stress Injury (PTSI). Dr. Lipov, along with U.S. military physicians at Walter Reed Army Medical Center, were able to demonstrate that a biologic effect of numbing the nerves in the neck via a sympathetic ganglion block treatment appears to reboot the brain to a pre-trauma state with a 72-percent success rate. The results were published in the October 2014 edition of AMSUS, Mili-tary Medicine’s International Journal.

Beware of Medicare scammersThe Federal Trade Commission

(FTC) reports that some scammers claimed to be calling on behalf of the government to verify information for a new Medicare card or Medicare-relat-ed package. In fact, it was a ruse to get people’s bank account information to make unauthorized withdrawals from their accounts. The callers said they needed to verify people’s identities using information that included the consumers’ bank account numbers. Ac-cording to the FTC, the scammers told

people that their information would not be used to debit their bank ac-counts and that there was no charge for their services. But the FTC alleges that was a lie as bank accounts were deb-ited for $400 or more within a couple of months. Never give out your bank account information to someone who contacts you over the phone.For more on credit and debt, and

I have three boys who look up to me as their father and for them to be calling me the bad boy, I really didn’t like that so I changed my name to ‘The People’s Champ.’ – Tito Ortiz

By Art GarciaTwo of the most polarizing

combatants in mixed martial arts will face off at The Valley View Casino on Nov. 15. Headlining Bellator 131 are Tito Ortiz and Stephan Bonnar in what promises to be a night of non-stop action from start to finish. The card will also feature a lightweight title fight between Michael Chandler and Will Brooks. Ortiz recently sat down with MP reporter Art Garcia Jr. and answered a few questions about his Hall of Fame career and the upcoming match against Bonnar.

AG: I know you’ve been waiting for this fight for a long time, how are you feeling with three weeks to go?

TO: I’m doing really good – it’s actually four weeks out because I keep track of every single day; every single hour; every single minute and every single second – but I feel great. My camp is going really well and I’m just getting ready for three rounds of war.

AG: I’ve covered a lot of professional fights over the years in both boxing and MMA but I don’t know if I’ve ever covered and bout with so much animosity leading up to it. This sounds more than hyping up a fight, true?

TO: You know, this guy has made it personal by talking about my family; talking about my fans and the one thing that irritated me more than

anything was when he talked about how the troops disliked me. Since I remember I was one of the first mixed martial artists who ever went to Iraq to visit the troops. I’ve been to Walter Reed (hospital); been to Bethesda (Naval hospital) five consecutive times to give back to the troops. I’ve walked out with the American flag after 911 … I give back to the soldiers like no other and for him to say the things he did really, really bothered me a whole lot.

AG: Do you think he’s trying to get you so pissed off that you will forget your game plan and lose

Exclusive interview with Tito Ortiz

Bellator returns to San DiegoBy Carlos KremerBellator MMA 131 is coming to

San Diego on November 15th to Valley View Casino and new CEO Scott Coker is making great strides in getting the fight organization more excitement, exposure and new fans than ever before. One of the first orders of busi-

ness for Coker was to include some of the legends of MMA that brought mixed martial arts from its infancy to where it is today and support these legends with the ad-miration and respect they deserve. That included making the great former and first ever UFC Cham-pion Royce Gracie the Ambassador for Bellator Fighting and acknowl-edging and giving huge props to the very roots of the sport. I had a fantastic interview with Royce and found him to be as humble as any man I’ve ever met. I reminded him of the reporter

who asked him as he became the first UFC champion on how it feels to be the baddest man on the plan-et and Royce responded, “That’s funny because I’m not even the toughest guy in my family.” Its this sort of humility, charm and legend-ary status that Bellator Fighting needed and the world wanted to see. Coker also has included former

UFC Heavyweight and Light Heavy-weight Champion Randy Couture and the man who also helped build the fight game brand San Diego’s own Ken Shamrock. Coker said TITO, cont’d.

your composure in the fight?TO: He is getting me pissed off but

I’m the wrong person because it won’t get me out of my game, it will just motivate me even more during my training. I’ll make that hatred build up to animosity and energy so I’ll destroy him for three rounds.

AG: Stephan recently criticized you for giving

yourself the nicknames ‘The Huntington

Beach Bad Boy’ and ‘The People’s

Champion.’ He said that

a fighter shouldn’t give himself a

nickname, rather,

a fighter should earn his

nickname, do you

STORAGE

By Art GarciaJust three short weeks ago the 5-1

Chargers were considered one of the elite teams in the NFL while in the midst of a five-game winning streak. At that point they were tied with the Dallas Cowboys and Philadelphia Eagles for the best record in the league. As they prepare to travel to Miami

this week to face the Dolphins before their bye in week 10, many fans are wondering which Chargers team is the real McCoy (no pun intended) – the 5-1 team that many pundits ranked a top five team or the 5-3 team currently on a two-game losing skid? Truth be told, it’s hard to make

any kind of assumptions on this team because it hasn’t played one game this season with its starting lineup intact. Head coach Mike McCoy insists that injuries are not an excuse and has nothing to do with poor play and lack of execution – and he’s right for the most part.However, a wounded team might

be able to get away with a few wins playing the likes of the Buffalo Bills, Jacksonville Jaguars, N.Y. Jets and Oakland Raiders – each of whom have their own sets of problems. But when you face the better, more established opponents on your schedule (Cardinals, Chiefs, and Broncos), they have the speed and talent to dictate the pace of the game and exploit your weaknesses, thus bringing you back to reality.Case in point...In each of their five wins the

Chargers won the time of possession battle, in their three losses the tables were turned where the defense was left on the field way too long to be effective – hence the statistics below. Through the first six games the

Chargers ranked fourth in the NFL with 12 takeaways, giving them a takeaway-giveaway ratio of +7. In their two-game losing streak they have committed three turnovers without creating any takeaways, dropping them to a +4 ratio.Heading into the Chiefs game

the Chargers defense had given up a league-low 19 points in the fourth quarter. In their last two losses the defense has given up 17 fourth quarter points.Finally, when they were 5-1 the

Chargers’ point scoring differential was the highest in the NFL at +73 (164 points scored vs 91 points allowed). During this two-game slide the differential is -17 (41 points scored vs 58 points allowed).The bottom line for the Chargers

is that their next man up philosophy worked fine during the first quarter of the season when the schedule was a lot less daunting. The problem is injuries have turned the next man up into the next men up philosophy and the team simply doesn’t have enough healthy players to circle the wagon at

this point – no excuses, just fact.Help on the way?In addition to getting some well-

needed rest – they have one game to play over the next 23 days – the Char-gers should be getting back some healthy players to hopefully go on an-other late season run.Although the of story un-

drafted running back Bran-den Oliver has been great (316 yds. rushing; 4.4 avg; 2 tds), a return trip to the playoffs likely hinges on the return of Ryan Mathews. Suffer-ing an MCL knee sprain in week two against the Seahawks, Mathews ap-pears likely to return against the Raiders af-ter spend-ing the last six weeks as a spectator. Mathews’

534 rushing yards during the month of December last season led the NFL and sparked the Chargers four-game win streak which pro-pelled them into the post season.Defensively, as bad as they

have played the last three weeks appearances can be deceiving. In their

23-20 loss to the Chiefs the Chargers had a number of opportunities to win the game and the 35-21 loss to the Broncos wasn’t as lopsided as the score indicates.

With their best cornerback, Bran-don Flowers, not playing (con-

cussion) and their no. 1 draft pick, cornerback Jason Verrett, leav-ing the game early with a shoulder in-jury, the Chargers still held a Peyton Manning-led Bron-cos team scoreless in the first quarter (the last time that hap-pened was Manning’s first game as a Bronco in 2012). And if it wasn’t for a

con- troversial reversed call of a Chargers’ fumble recovery on a kickoff that gave the Broncos the ball back deep in their own terri-tory on the 28 yard line, it could have been the Chargers taking a 14-7 or 10-7 lead into halftime rather than the Broncos up 14-7.Regardless of the outcome this

weekend versus the Dolphins, whether the Chargers are 6-3 or 5-4, the defense should be much improved after the bye. Depending on when they are healthy, the return of Flowers, Verrett, Melvin Ingram, Jerry Attouchu and Manti Te’o will

By Barry Barton, U.S. NavyI joined the Navy in summer of 2001

through the delayed entry program when I was a junior in high school. Sep-tember 11 was a life changing experi-ence for this country. When this event took place, I was writing my girlfriend who is now my wife, a letter in econom-ics class.I had two choices: The first choice

was to run and not fulfill the commit-ment that I gave to this country; or to keep my word, sacrifice everything, and defend America. I decided to give my life for our country.My plan changed from getting out

after 4 years, to 8 years to join the Coast Guard; all of which did not pan out. I now plan on retiring in the Navy. I didn’t have very much growing up, and the Navy has given me more expe-rience and opportunities than I could have ever dreamed of. When I joined the Navy I had nothing, and now I have something. I owe this country, the Navy, and my fellow service members all that I have for what they have given my fam-ily and me.I married my High School sweet-

heart Cheryl, and we have three boys. Matthew is 9 yrs old and loves football.

Christopher is 5 and is dis-abled due to Cytomegalovi-rus (CMV). Ethan is 3 and loves sports.My wife Cheryl does not

work so that she can take care of our son Christopher. Christopher was born with congenital CMV, which has devastating effects on babies in utero. Christopher suffers from a severe case and is legally blind, deaf in both ears, he has Microcephaly (small head), Cerebral Palsy (CP), se-vere brain damage and developmental delays. He is developed as much as a 4 month old baby. Christopher requires 24 hour care, and Cheryl also somehow manages to take care of the other two boys and myself.The craziest thing about CMV is

that no one knows about it! CMV is the leading cause of disabled children in the world. No one is talking about it. But, there is an organization called STOPCMV that is leading the way and talking to Congress. This is a huge con-cern and we only hope that people be-come more educated about the effects of CMV and ways to screen for it.On top of the stress that comes with

having a disabled child, we now have to

worry about our youngest son, Ethan, as well. We recently found out that the right side of his heart is enlarged.We would like to do a remodel so

that Christopher and all of our children have a place that accommodates their needs. We have looked into making some of the upgrades ourselves, but it would destroy the little that we have in our savings account. It wasn’t until we saw a story about

REIG OPERATION RENOVATION on KUSI TV that things began to change. REIG was holding a contest for about 100 Military homeowner Families, to apply for a home remodel, as a gift, by completing the application and having it reviewed by a panel. No strings at-

tant, we went for it. I understand about 60 families applied. When we were in-terviewed and then selected by REIG Company, we could not believe it! All of our dreams have come true. We look forward to the renovation

LaughsChucky atthe moviesAn old farmer went to town to see

a movie. The ticket agent asked, “Sir, what’s that on your shoulder?”The old farmer said, “That’s my pet

rooster Chucky, wherever I go, Chucky goes.”“I’m sorry sir,” said the ticket agent,

“We don’t allow animals in the the-ater.”The old farmer went around the

corner and stuffed the bird down his pants. He returned to the booth, bought a ticket and entered the theater. He sat down next to two old widows named Mildred and Marge.The movie started and the rooster

began to squirm. The old farmer un-zipped his pants so Chucky could stick his head out and watch the mov-ie. “Marge,” whispered Mildred.“What,” said Marge. “I think this

guy next to me is a pervert,” said Mil-

dred. “What makes you think that,” asked Marge. “He unzipped his pants and he has his thing out,” whispered Mildred. “Well, don’t worry about it,” said Marge, “At our age we’ve seen them all.” “I thought so,” said Mildred, “But this one is eating my popcorn!”

You must be a bunny!” “Awesome!” says the bunny. “Now what kind of animal are you?” “I really don’t know,” says the snake. “I’ve never seen myself. Maybe you could ex-amine me and find out?” So, the bunny feels the snake all over, and he replies, “You’re hard and cold, and you haven’t got any balls. You must be a lawyer!”

kicked it down with his left foot so I tied up his left to a pole.I began to fill up the bucket again

and he kicked it down with his right foot, so I tied his right to a pole too.As soon as I finished milkin’’ him

again he knocked down the bucket with his with his tail and I took off my belt and tied up his tail with my belt.As I was tying up his tail, my pants

dropped down, then my wife came out and well, trust me, some things you just can’t explain!

NASA chicken cannonNASA engineers build a cannon

that launches dead chickens at the windshields of airplanes, military jets and such to test the strength of the windshields against collisions with air-borne fowl.British engineers are eager to test it

on the windshields of their new high-speed trains. Arrangements are made, and a cannon is sent to the British en-gineers.When the cannon goes off, the en-

gineers stand shocked as the chicken crashes into the shatterproof shield, smashes it to smithereens, blasts through the control console, snaps the pilot’s backrest in two, and embeds it-self in the back wall of the cabin.The horrified Brits send the Ameri-

cans a report of the disastrous results, along with an urgent request for sug-gests on improving the windshield de-sign.The American engineers respond

with a one-line memo: “Thaw out the damn chicken.”

New bullThree bulls heard the rancher

was bringing another bull onto the ranch. First Bull: “I’ve been here five years. I’m not giving this new bull any of my 100 cows.” Second Bull: “I’ve been here three years and have earned my right to 50 cows. I’m keep-ing all my cows.” Third Bull: “I’ve only been here a year, and so far, you guys have only let me have 10 cows. I may not be as big as you fellows, but I’m keeping all 10 of my cows.” Just then an 18-wheeler pulls up in the pasture carrying the biggest bull they’ve ever seen. At 4,700 pounds, each step he

takes strains the steel ramp. First Bull: “I think I can spare a few cows for our new friend.” Second Bull: “I actually have too many cows to take care of. I can spare a few. I’m certainly not look-ing for an argument.” They look over at the third bull and find him pawing the dirt, shaking his horns and snort-ing. First Bull: “Son, don’t be foolish -- let him have some of your cows and live to tell about it.” Third Bull: “Hell, he can have all my cows. I’m just making sure he knows I’m a bull.”

One-eyed blondeTwo blondes are walking down the

road when one says, “Look at that dog with one eye!”The other blonde covers one of her

eyes and says, “Where?”

Rabbits in a rowQ: What do you get when 100 rab-

bits stand in a row and 99 take a step back? A: A receding hare line.

Running blindA policeman was directing traffic at

a busy intersection when he observed a blind man and his seeing-eye dog wait-ing to cross. To his horror, he watched as the seeing-eye dog bolted across the

street, dragging the blind man behind him. On the other side of the road, the man pulled out a cookie and offered it to his dog. The officer ran to the blind man and said, “Don’t you real-ize your dog could have killed you, and now you’re going to reward him?” The blind man said to the policeman, “Why, no sir, I’m just trying to find out where his head is so I can kick his ass.”

Smells like carrotsQ: What’s invisible and smells like

carrots?A: Bunny farts.

The blonde foxQ: Did you hear the one about the

blonde fox that got stuck in a trap? A: She chewed off three legs and was still stuck.

The Christmas parrotA guy walks into a store for some

last-minute Christmas shopping, and sees a parrot for sale. He asks the clerk what the parrot’s name is and the clerk tells him it’s Chet. He also tells the man that this is one amazing parrot. If you put a match under his left foot, it sings “Jingle Bells,” and if you put a match under its right foot, it sings “Deck the

Halls.”The man thinks that is the coolest

thing he’s ever seen, so he decides to buy it for his wife. So he gets home, and puts it away. Then he wonders what will happen if he puts it a match between its legs, so he tries it, and the parrot starts singing “Chet’s nuts roasting over an open fire...”

The honeymoonTwo ducks go on their honeymoon

and stay in a hotel. As they are about to make love, the male duck says, “Oh, we haven’t got any condoms. I’ll ring down to room service.” He calls and asks for some condoms.The woman says, “OK sir, would you

like to put them on your bill?”“No,” he says, “I’ll suffocate!”

One-legged hopQ: Why did the bunny hop around on

one leg? A: Because the other one was on a

key chain.

“Its about remembering those who helped create this great sport and giving them their due, its about ex-perience and including and remem-bering those who have supported the sport in a big way.” Coker also has

Stephan Bonner and believe me there is no love lost between these two war-riors. Tito told me “never in my ca-reer have I wanted to fight someone as bad I do with Bonner. Thru all my years of fighting no one has called out my family and he has crossed the line, this is personal’. I could see the rage in Tito’s face and he was speak-ing only a few feet from Bonner who shares equal disdain. Also on the stacked card is a light-

weight title rematch between interim Champion Will Brooks and former title holder Michael Chandler who trains locally here at Alliance Gym in San Diego. Another monster of the cage making his first Bellator appear-ance is Joao Paulo Faria, who resides in San Diego and an accomplished black belt in Brazilian Jiujitsu who has won Gold medals in huge gi and no gi grappling tournaments. He is a star on the rise and owner of Gra-cie Jiujitsu Del Mar. So the question is who’s ready for 4th of July fire-works in November? Personally I can’t wait along with thousands of fans who believe in what Scott Coker and Bella-tor MMA is accomplishing in and out of the cage and truly giving back to our troops.

BELLATORCont’d. from Page 16

hopefully provide the depth and speed the team is counting on to carry them through the season.

The Endzone: With the toughest part of

their schedule coming in the next two months one thing is for sure – the Chargers will not have to play another three games over a 12-day span. It’s hard enough to win an NFL game each week let alone having to play three divisional games in 12 days with two of your opponents coming off a bye (makes one question the NFL’s concern over player safety). After setting career-highs in carries (285) and yards (1,255), Mathews was the recipient of the Rodney Culver Memorial Award as the Chargers’ Offensive Player of the Year. His return to the field should bolster the teams rushing attack which is currently a league worst 3.1 yard per carry.

agree?TO: Well I kind of laugh at him due

to the fact that having that ‘bad boy’ image for such a long time people buy into it. I have three boys who look up to me as their father and for them to be calling me the bad boy, I really didn’t like that so I changed my name to ‘The Peoples Champ.’ From Day 1, I’ve been there for the fans and once you’re the champion you’re always the champion in people’s eyes and I’m there doing autographs, I’m there for the troops, I do everything I possibly can to help out the sport of mixed martial arts.I think being called ‘The People’s

Champ’ is the perfect fit because the last ‘People’s Champ’ that I know of was Muhammad Ali and he gave so much for his heritage and the boxing community that I’m trying to do the same things for mixed martial arts.

AG: You are a former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion and were the ninth inductee into the UFC Hall of Fame. You are also a father who is 39-years-old, how much longer are you going to fight?

TITOCont’d. from Page 16

TO: You know, winning another world title is my main goal, I have three more fights ahead of me -- this fight and two more fights and I hope to walk away a world champion. Then I want to walk away and help on the promotions side and help Bellator, VIACOMM, and Spike TV to continue this brand and make it better than ever.

AG: As a former UFC Champion and Hall of Famer you are recognized worldwide, what do you attribute your success to?

TO: I attribute my success just to a hard work ethic – sacrifice, dedication and always believing in myself no matter what. I have to answer to myself every single day – every morning I wake up and every night I go to bed there’s only one person I have to answer to and that’s myself. I make the decisions; I take the responsibilities for every one of my actions and I think my success is that I never stop working. I always work to be the best I can possibly be.

AG: Best advice you received either inside or outside the cage?

TO: I think the best advice I ever received was from Donald Trump. I asked him, ‘how do you get to be so

successful?’ and he said, ‘Tito, from the minute I wake up until the time I go to sleep I never stop working, ‘and I take that to heart in everything I do. And my own advice is to be honest as possible when you do it – don’t step on anybody, get ahead, and always reach out to help people when they’re coming up and I’ve done that my whole career.

AG: What have you found to be the best and worst thing about fame?

TO: The best thing about fame, knowing that you can be an inspiration to people’s lives is the best thing. And the worst is losing complete privacy of your personal life. Fans get discouraged and mad when they ask for autographs and photos around my kids and when I say no, not around my kids they get pissed and say things like ‘I never liked you anyway.’ But they don’t understand that there’s privacy and a line that can’t be crossed at that point so that’s probably the worst.

AG: Give me a prediction for the fight?

TO: A bloody; exciting; ferocious beat down – 15 minutes of hell. I’m willing to die for my cause and my cause is to win.
