The non- profit Boosters at Rising Star, comprising parents and other people interested in furthering the sport on the Monterey Peninsula, is sponsoring the event. Founded by Kathleen Brady in 1982, Rising Star had its home in Sunset Center for two decades before relocating to Del Monte Boulevard in Monterey seven years ago. Brady’s daughter, Kelly, was a Junior Olympian who returned to coach young gymnasts alongside her mother, and they share duties with seven other coaches, many of them highly accom- plished in the sport. Children enroll in Rising Star programs at the tender age of 3 or 4, begin competing in statewide USA Gymnastics- sponsored events as young as 6, and continue training there through their teens in their drive to become Olympians. They practice several hours daily, four or five days each week, to improve their strength and skills. All their hard work pays off, as the gym reports its athletes make up “one of the few sports teams from Monterey that has PHOTOS/COURTESY ARTHUR COVEMAN participated/won consistently at the state, regional or nation- al level.” Budding champions like Tristan Rammel (left) and Avery Blanco (above) will defy “This program has generated any number of champions gravity during the Olympics in Monterey Exhibition and Barbecue at Rising Star over the past several years,” said parent Arthur Coleman, a Gymnastics in Monterey Saturday afternoon. member of BARS, which hopes to raise tens of thousands of Sandy Claws By Margot Petit Nichols Carmel Valley

When a custom is a crime

“You say that it is your tradition to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: When men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gal- lows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours.”

THIS QUOTATION is attributed to a British general in 19th century India, where it was common practice among some Hindu communities for a widow to be immolated on her husband’s funeral pyre. The general’s no-nonsense assertion of cultural superiority over a society which would burn a woman alive as a sign of respect for her dead husband is something which deserves to emulated today. While not quite as primitive as what India did to some of its widows, there are other customs being imported to California right now that can simply not be permitted in modern society. A good example is the way the Triqui people of Oaxaca, many of whom have moved to Monterey County, apparently treat their teenage girls. According to varying reports in the Monterey County Herald, a man who lives in Greenfield recently sold his 14-year-old daughter to an 18-year-old neighbor for $16,000 and 160 cases of beer. Or the neighbor kidnapped the daughter, intending to force her to marry him by taking her virginity, which would then leave her shunned by her family and any other prospective husbands. Sorting out the facts is an important task for law enforcement, which must figure out who is to blame for mistreating the girl. But whichever version turns out to be correct, the incident should be dealt “How does this gallery make it with all the crap they’re selling?” with sternly, and not simply attributed to “cultural differences,” as one police officer initially said. where it could contaminate streams or tide- pools.
