The family of the late Madison Elementary School teacher Karamdeep Dhaliwal gathered at the Jan. 14 Sanger Uni- fied School District meeting to make official their annual donation to pay off SUSD students' lunch debt.

as part of the commu- nity," he said.
Patlan said it was by far one of the most successful events that was attended by ap- proximately 7,000 people.
"Staff did an out- standing job working the golf course man- agement team in coor- dinating the event, it's a sign of better things to come," he added.
Other key accom- plishments included
• Completion of the extension of Randle Avenue improving connectivity to Mer- cantile Row Center
• New housing de- velopments: Ridge Creek Estates Phase 3 & 4, Autumn Gate Phase 2 & 3, Sierra Apartments
• New commercial/ office projects ap- proved: Urgent Care Clinic, Orthodontist Office, Turning Point Clinic
• Lease of Vocation- al Center to Dinuba Unified School District for their adult training programs
• Purchased new ambulances with $161,000 in funds do-
ing St. La Salle School students, the Knights of Columbus, youth from KHI-RHO Club, Catho- lics in Action students from Reedley High School, and Grupo Jo- venes Majestad.
Danny Brooks noted the walk was so packed with pro-life support- ers that the trek along Market Street at times moved at a slow pace. He strongly believes that abortion eventually will be illegal in the U.S.
“I think through per- severance and sheer numbers we will prevail.”
Bernadette Tasy said the walk brings togeth- er tens of thousands of people “to protest the biggest human rights is- sue of our time.”
“The pro-life genera- tion comes from far and wide, finding that we are not alone and that we are called to continue to do more and more for those
There will be pres- sure to refocus on that area.

Patlan reported is- sues that will be fo- cused on in the future include a general plan update focused on the new Dinuba High School.
"There will be pres- sure to refocus on that area," he said.
Other major capital projects such as Kern Street storm drain project, Griggs neigh- borhood improve- ments, College Avenue rail crossing improve- ments and Alta/Ne- braska Roundabout.
Patlan said the city will also work on up- dating the Parks and Recreation Master Plan. There also will be a preliminary plan- ning for a new City Hall downtown.
who cannot advocate for themselves,” said Tasy who is president of Fres- no Pro-Life Future.
“Though we mourn lives lost to this legal tragedy, so much joy is found in the people at the walk, ready to continue fighting until abortion is abolished for good.”
Advocates against abortion are gaining momentum, Chris Tasy said.
“Every year, the pro- life walks coast to coast draw more and more people. More than 80,000 people will be walking in three pro-life walks in California,” he said.
“This clearly demon- strates that increasing numbers of Americans understand the science, morality and value of life."

culture, it is customary for families to make do- nations in the memory of loved ones who pass.
“Usually, in our cul- ture, we do it in our churches and commu- nity,” said Dhaliwal. “But she was the type of per- son who believed in giv- ing to the people who do not have anything.”
So Dhaliwal said her and her husband decided about three months ago that they would make a donation to help children in the Sanger Unified School District who had unpaid lunch debts.
When they contacted the school district, they

“We are going to do this every year,” Dhali- wal said. “As long as me and my husband are alive, every year we are going to donate money to clear the debt.”
For Dhaliwal, she gets to see the effects of her daughter’s (and her family’s) generosity as part of the district’s nu- trition department. She has worked for the dis- trict for 20 years.
“I saw some of these kids who go hungry be- cause they don’t have money,” she explained.
She and her husband both live in the Sanger area, where she said they own 100 acres of almonds. Her husband also owns a trucking business.
Karamdeep, known by many as ‘Kam’, taught at Madison Ele- mentary School for four years. The school site recently planted a tree in her memory and are building a room in her honor as well. The room, which will also be fund- ed by the Dhaliwal fam- ily, will be called ‘Kam’s Waiting Room’.
It is expected to open next month.

have gone through abor- tions and regret it,” he said.
Guadalupe Roble- do, 16, said the march packed with thousands of pro-life advocates is a heartening and uplift- ing gathering.
“You feel the vibes, you feel the joy, you feel welcomed,” she said.
Lois Ellsworth agreed, saying, “It’s a beautiful day. You’re with friends and you’re worshipping Jesus.”
Jim McGahan, a lead- er of St. Anthony’s Re- spect Life Group and or- ganizer of the San Fran- cisco bus trip, is always impressed by the large number of young people he sees at the walk.
“People are so hap- py. They’re celebrating life.”
Among those who at- tended the event were St. Anthony’s parish- ioners from various church groups, includ-
were told that it was something that could be done. However, they were told it would be costly.
“We asked how much,” Dhaliwal re- called. “They told us it was about $10,000 and we said ‘Okay, we will do that.'”
At the Jan. 14 Sanger Unified School District’s school board meeting, that donation was gladly accepted in an emotional presentation.
But the donation doesn’t end there. Ac- cording to Dhaliwal, the family now is commit- ted to paying any future lunch debts for families who cannot afford to pay it.
