High school graduation heals
World War II internment wounds
NEWPORT
BEACH,
California (AP) — A Cali-
fornia man who missed his
1942 high school gradua-
tion because he was locked
up in an internment camp
for Japanese Americans
finally walked in a cap and
gown in late June, more
than seven decades after he
was pulled out of class just
a month shy of his big day.
Don Miyada, now 89,
joined Newport Harbor
High
School’s
2014
graduating class on stage
and received a standing
ovation when he was hailed
as an inaugural member of
the school’s hall of fame,
the Los Angeles Times
reported.
Miyada was 17 years old
when he was sent with his
family and more than
17,000 other detainees to a
patch of desert land near
Poston, Arizona shortly
after the Japanese bombed
Pearl Harbor during World
War II. A teacher later sent
him a letter expressing
shock that he couldn’t
finish high school and
included a diploma — but
Miyada always regretted
that he missed the celebra-
tion.
In May, Miyada met
Newport Harbor’s princi-
pal, Sean Boulton, during a
DELAYED GRAD DAY. World War II veteran Don S. Miyada of
Westminster, California looks to the stage during a ceremony in honor of

his 1942 high school graduation because he was locked up in an intern-
ment camp for Japanese Americans, finally walked in a cap and gown at

Memorial Day service at
the high school and
Boulton invited him to
walk with the 560 seniors
who would be graduating.
Boulton even found a copy
of the program from what
would have been Miyada’s
graduation day in 1942.
“My name was on there,”
Miyada said. “I wasn’t able
to attend, of course, but my
name was there anyway. It
was very emotional.”
After two years in the
camp, Miyada moved to
Michigan, where he was
drafted. He went on to
serve in the U.S. Army in
Europe and then earned a
doctorate in chemistry
from
Michigan
State
University. He eventually
became a professor at the
University of California,
Irvine.
During the graduation
ceremony, Miyada re-
turned the letter he had
received from his teacher
and thanked the teenagers
who were crossing the
stage with him.
“It’s their time to
graduate and their time of
honor,” he said. “I’m happy
they invited me to be one of
them.”

Dodgers complete Darwin
Barney trade with Cubs
LOS ANGELES (AP) —
The Dodgers have com-
pleted their trade with the
Cubs,
sending
minor-
league pitcher Jonathan
Martinez to Chicago and
optioning infielder Darwin
Barney to the Triple-A
Albuquerque Isotopes.
The last-place Cubs sent
Barney and cash to the NL
West-leading Dodgers for
Martinez.
Barney, the 28-year-old
Gold Glove winner in 2012,
played second base, third
base, and shortstop in five
seasons with the Cubs, but
they cut him loose after he
hit .230 with 16 RBI in 72
games this season. He is a
.244 career hitter with 18
homers and 146 RBI in 542
games.
Martinez, a 20-year-old
right-hander, was 7-5 with
ALBUQUERQUE BOUND. Darwin Barney, formerly with the Chi-
cago Cubs, throws the ball in a baseball game against the Philadelphia

Princess Mary Superal wins U.S. Girls’ Junior
FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. (AP) — Princess
Mary Superal won the U.S. Girls’ Junior to
become the first Filipino winner in U.S.
Golf Association play, beating Mexico’s
Marijosse Navarro on the 37th hole.
The 17-year-old Superal won the par-5
36th hole with a birdie to pull even and
ended the match with a par on the first
extra hole — the par-5 14th on Forest
Highlands’ Meadows Course — after
Navarro drove into the water.
It was the first final to go to extra holes
since 2006, when Jenny Shin beat Vicky
Hurst in 37 holes.
The 17-year-old Navarro rallied to
square the match with birdie wins on the
32nd and 33rd holes and took a 1-up lead
with a par win on the 35th.
A
three-time
Women’s
Mexican
Amateur champion, Navarro was sixth
this year for Texas A&M in the NCAA
tournament.
