The campaign to elect five members to the ABC School Board on Nov. 8 has already brought in more than $125,000 in contributions, for a job that compensates its members $733.95 per month.
Records obtained at Los Angeles County Registrar of Voters Office by Los Cerritos Community News show that the 11 candidates running for either a four-year full term, or for a two year term are on course to reach over $200,000.00.
Candidates have also contributed thousands of personal loans and some have also contributed thousands more from businesses in which they have a vested financial interest or ownership.
Some of the biggest donations have been made to the four candidates hop-ing to replace former ABC School Board Member Mark Pulido, who was elected to the Cerritos City Council in March. The winner of the two year unexpired term will have to hit the campaign trail again in 2013 if they plan to seek re-elec-tion to a four year term..
ABC Federation of Teachers raised from its rank and file members $43,668 so far this year and have spent $22,770 as of Sept. 24, in support of the reelection campaigns of incumbants Law, Spitzer, Tse, Reyes, and Johnson.
The major donor to the ABC Federa-tion of Teacher Committee on Political Education was a $5,000 contribution from the ABCFT union General Fund. So far this calendar year, the ABCFT has donated $25,000 to their slate of five school board hopefuls.
The ABCFT has hired Los Ange-les political consultant Eric Hacopian, and his firm EDH and Associates out of Studio City to oversee their coordinated campaign effort and have so far paid out $4,000 for their services which includes campaign mailings to voters throughout Artesia, Cerritos, Hawaiian Gardens, East Lakewood and South Norwalk.

Three candidates for the two-year seat left vacant when ABC Board Mem-ber Mark Pulido was elected to the Cer-ritos Council and five candidates for a four-year term on the school board ap-pealed to voters at the AAUW Candidate Forum held Oct. 8 in the Cerritos Coun-cil Chamber.
Incumbent Celia Spitzer, Armin Reyes, Maynard Law and Sophia Tse are seeking re-election to a four-year term. Challenging them are former Board Member Louise Dodson and newcomer Henna Sharma. Seeking to fill the re-maining two years of Pulido’s vacant seat are Cindy Yen Chen, Lynda John-son, Soo Yoo and Mansour Meisami. The latter was absent because of illness.
All the candidates were asked the same questions. They included what the candidates would you do if there were an
Two juveniles arrested, motive of two murders not yet known.
By Randy Economy
Two minors, a 15-year old female, and a 16-year old male have been ar-rested on murder charges for the deaths of two adults in what could be one of the most horrific crimes in recent Los Ange-les County memory.
Members of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department Homicide Division are investigating the connection between the deaths of two people who were found in two different shallow graves in two cities during the past week, Los Cerritos Community News has learned.
Los Cerritos Community News has also confirmed that the two bodies found have been determined to be a married couple from Compton and that two mi-nor’s have been arrested for the murders. Due to their ages, the names of two have

Artesia Chamber Business ExpoAttracts 1,500 Visitors to City Plaza
Artesia Chamber of Commerce’s first Fall Business Expo was held Oct. 15 at the City Plaza Shopping Center on South Street. An estimated 1500 visitors from Artesia and surrounding communi-ties were in attendance.
Chamber President James Kang welcomed those present and introduced members of the Chamber’s Board of Directors. Kang described them as the EXPO heroes who made the Expo hap-pen.
Kang briefly reviewed the Cham-ber’s history, saying it was organized two years ago. “We had no money, but the Board members dug into their pocket and raised the seed money to start the Chamber.”
More than 40 vendors set up booths, with several plaza eateries providing free food samples. Visitors also took advantage of free health screenings and flu shots provided by the Red Cross, en-joyed music provided by “Dominic for all Occasions,” with dancing and song occupying the center stage.
Booths included the Artesia Histori-cal Society that displayed a variety of wares from the city’s past, including a book on the history of Artesia and a cookbook with favorite
Artesia recipes and kitchen utensils used in the 1930’s and 40’s. In addition pamphlets describing the 1929 Framp-ton/Dantema House now the home of the Artesia Historical Museum and the Old Fire Station #30 Museum.
ABC Unified School District staff had a display explaining the District’s 13 Magnet Schools. It was a great day for the Artesia Chamber as it moves forward into the future.
Members of the Artesia Historical Society Past President Veronica Bloomfield, Rose-mary Economy and Ed Bloomfield prepare for visitors to the Artesia Fall Business Expo held at the City Plaza Shopping Center on South Street.
A young dancer performs during the en-tertainment portion of the Expo.More than 100 performers were present at the event held by the Artesia Chamber of Commerce.
Artesia President James Kang intro-duces Chamber Board members to the audience at the Business Expo. They in-cluded Vice President Manu Patel, Trea-surer Elizabeth Makaball, Chamber Sec-retary Don Brown, Board Members Lou Juanezar, Dinesh Gahndi, Felix Lopez, Parimal Shah, Dr. Doo Yeon Hwang, Bill Lee, Lana Leazer, and Executive Direc-tor Suguru Kitahara.

The first time candidate for public office has received a $10,000 loan from Gateway Academy in which she serves as one of the owners as well as a contribution for an additional $1,000 to her campaign ac-count.
Yoo has banked $2,500 from Kelly K. Ahn, President of Cecico, Inc. from Fullerton, as well as contributions of $1,000 apiece from Irvine Realtor Ed-ward Sohn, Cerritos attorney William Song and from Downtown LA Motors. Yoo’s campaign has also retained the professional services of Cerritos politi-cal consultant Matt Kauble, and from Aaron Kim of Los Angeles.
Johnson, who is a Paralegal for the Los Angeles District Attorney’s Office, has raised $14,021 in contributions and as of Sept. 24, had $11,431 in her cam-paign account. Nearly half of the money raised by Johnson has come in the form of two contributions from the ABC Fed-eration of Teachers. On Sept. 9, ABCFT President Ray Gaer presented Johnson a check in the amount of $2,500 and later put in an additional $5,000 on Sept. 19. Cerritos business owner Leslie Machado of OR Global has donated $500 as has Ed James of Santa Ana.
Candidate Mansour Meisami has banked nearly $12,000 in campaign dol-lars, in which $10,000 is in the form of a personal loan from himself. Mansour also has three contributions includ-

Other donors include Cerritos loan officer Deborah Chang Kuei, $250, and former ABC School Board Member Cecy Groom has chipped in $250.

Hopeful Cindy Yen Chen of Cerritos has given herself a $4,000 loan to the campaign, and received $2,000 in contri-butions from Zen Continental, Co, Inc., out of Buena Park. She is the primary owner and operator of Zen Continental, which specializes in international ship-ping of commercial freight. Her other donors include Ginger Tang of Cerritos in the amount of $200, Kang Chan, a Cer-ritos engineer, $300, and Bob Hughlett, Cerritos College Trustee has donated $100. Yen Chen has $5,705 cash in her account of the end of September.
In the campaign for the full term, the four incumbents, Law, Spitzer, Tse, and Reyes have a comfortable fundrais-ing advantage over their two challengers Henna Sharma and Louise Dodson.
Sharma, a first time candidate for public office, has raised $5,751, most through small donations from supporters. According to the Registrar Recorders Election Division, Sharma had 23 indi-vidual contributors who had given more than $100 to her campaign coffers. Her largest donation came from Ashok Amin MD, Inc. of Buena Park in the amount of $1,001.
Incumbent Sophia Tse, a Registered Nurse Practitioner raised $14,472 as of Sept. 24 with her largest contributors being former Cerritos Mayor Grace Hu ($1,000), Thai Sun from Brea, $1,000, and Naresh Solanki, a businessman and owner of Solanki Foods who is also a member of the Cerritos Planning Com-mission.

Challenger Louise Dodson has not
filed a campaign report, but she told Los Cerritos Community News that her campaign would be filing documenta-tion this week with the County Record-er. Dodson, who is a former member of the ABC School Board said she was “on target” with her efforts and that she is focused on “good old fashion grassroots campaigning people to people, door to door.”
Los Cerritos Community News will continue to follow the campaign daily at www.LosCerritosNews.net.
increase in funding and/or a reduction in funding? Does their business or employ-ment present a conflict of interest with the School District and why isn’t racial balance not considered in the schools of choice program?
Henna Sharma said if there were a reduction in funding she would like to increase ways to raise more money. She would increase partnerships with the cit-ies within the District citing Hawaiian Gardens as an example where the city paid for summer school for four schools, seek additional corporate funding, and promote parent involvement. She com-plimented the city of Cerritos for its partnership with the district, noting their contribution in building school gymna-siums as an example. She said she has no business conflict of interest if elected to the school board. She also does not believe there is any segregation in the District’s School of Choice program.
Armin Reyes said the first thing is to make sure the district’s stakeholders are informed on any budget reductions. This includes, parents, teachers and commu-nity-at-large so the board members have their input and can make the needed de-cisions. Concerning having a conflict of interest with the District, he replied there wasn’t one. On the question of ra-cial segregation in the School of Choice program to his knowledge there wasn’t any.
Maynard Law said in the past two years ABC has had its budget cut by $42 million. Despite the severe budget reduc-tion student achievement has increased. He said the district was looking at types of programs to increase student popula-tion. It’s a great school district and we get ADA (average daily attendance) funding for every fulltime student. On the question of School of Choice he said there was no racial segregation in the program. He said students were selected through a lottery system. Concerning a

conflict of interest he said he was retired and had no conflict of interest.
Commenting on ABC budget cuts Sophia Tse said the District recently
established an ABC Foundation to help supplement its programs. “We are cur-rently looking for a Director who can work with the local business people to bring in more revenue.” She said she would do her research and work with
her fellow board members what will be the best direction to go in meeting future budget cuts, not only for the teachers but the students. As for her job having a con-flict of interest with ABC, she said there was none.
Louise Dodson said it has been a tough year concerning budget cuts. Be-ing a past president of the PTSA and a former school board member she knows
the Board doesn’t just operate on its own. They meet with parents and staff before a decision is made on how to balance the budget. “This is not to say there weren’t budget cuts, but they are kept away from the classroom as much as possible. “Together we can meet fu-ture budget cuts. Nobody likes them but we have to work with them,” she added. Concerning having a conflict of interest,
she said there was none with her job. To her knowledge there was no segregation in the School of Choice program.
Celia Spitzer said she works with her fellow board members on budget infor-mation provided by the staff. She said she weighs the options on what would have the least impact on the students and employees. “No cut is a good cut,”
she stated. “We have no idea what us coming down the road from Sacramento and even small cuts will be painful.” On the question of a conflict of interest, she said she is retired. She also stated that to her knowledge there was no segregation in the School of Choice program.
Linda Johnson said as a board mem-ber she would vote to keep budget cuts away from student programs such as art, music and mathematics. When fund-ing begins to increase she would be in favor of reducing class sizes. “The best investment is to provide a teacher for every classroom, therefore we need professional development programs for teachers.” Johnson said she is a 25-year employee of the county and there was no conflict of interest. She also doesn’t know anything about segregation in the School of Choice of program.
Soo Yoo said if there was a reduction in funding the first thing she would fa-vor would be a suspension in hiring. She also suggested the district look at some of its unused properties for possible de-velopment, but before the District did that it needed to see what the state would do next. ”We need to do research and planning,” she said. The candidate also
said because of her tutoring business she asked Deputy Superintendent Dr. Mary Sieu if there would be a conflict of interest and she said no. If anything it would be an enhancement. Concern-ing the question of School of Choice she said to her knowledge there is no racial discrimination.
CindyYen Chen said like any busi-ness the District needs to look for new revenues and reduce expenses. Staff members should be encouraged to come up with ideas on how to reduce expens-es and ideas to add student enrollment.” She said that included adding more magnet schools, which would bring more students into ABC, thus increasing its ADA. “We could also increase our programs with other agencies in order to add to our student population.” On the question of having a business conflict with ABC, she said there wasn’t any. Concerning student segregation in the school of choice program, she does not believe there is any. She said, “Our com-munity is very diverse. In every corner of our district we have students of all races. I don’t feel there is racial bias in the program.”
Six ABC candidates are seeking election to four four-year seats on the ABC school bard. They are (l-r) newcomer Henna Sharma, and incumbents Celia Spitzer, Armin Reyes, Maynard Law, Sophia Tse, and former board member Louise Dod-son.

Submitted on www.loscerritosnews.net
Nov.8th I will go to the election booth and vote for Mayor Gomez and Councilmember Mr. Farfan who are the most respected councilmembers in Hawaiian Gardens as well as in our sur-rounding communities. Both Mr. Gomez and Mr.Farfan have always responded with professionalism and dignity during the city's council meetings,therefore set-ting positive examples for us all, despite the insults and allegations said (shouted) during the city's council meetings.
They do not ridicule the residents after they speak at the podium or insult their fellow councilmembers when there is a disagreement instead they listen to what is said and try to come up with some sort of a solution.
Mayor Gomez and councilmember Mr. Farfan are very involved in the city

Desperate PoliticiansThey will say or do anything to get elected.
KATHY "NEW RESIDENT" TRIMBLE
Hawaiian Gardens needs to vote for Mayor Mike Gomez and Councilman Victor Farfan or go back to the days of drugs and crime.
Barry Bruce said some very disturbing things from the dais at the Oct. 11, 2011 council meeting. It is showing a pattern of fiscal irresponsibility, outright misstate-ments and hell-bent-for-leather actions to take over the city with his two lackeys Kathy Trimble and Mauricio Arroyo. All in the face of certified documentation that shows these two candidates are shams.
And in typical fashion Bruce is trying to deflect attention by saying, during a city council meeting no less, that LCCN prints falsehoods.
Bruce is desperate to get his candidates elected; that is candidates plural because Arroyo and Trimble have recently joined forces.
So now Bruce (and lap-dog Rey Ro-driguez) have officially hooked their crazy train to a disgraced former mayor of HG and candidates who have nothing resem-bling city experience; Trimble is a food service employee at ABCUSD and Arroyo a building inspector. Even more disturbing, Arroyo was fired for inappropriate behav-ior from the city of HG and has never voted in an HG election; and Trimble just moved into a mobile home in the city that was paid for in full by check. How does someone making $15 per hour cut a $129,000 check? Maybe she can't, LCCN has learned there was a lien placed on the mobile home after the purchase. Worse, showing no interest in the city, Trimble has not voted in an HG election in ten years.
And Bruce (and sidekick Rey) have the city's best interest in mind? Really?
During the Oct. 11 council meeting, Bruce indicated he did not care if the city will spend more money on legal advertis-ing with the Press Telegram versus LCCN because we print falsehoods.
Bruce said, "It’s one thing to print the truth and its one thing to print a lie, like a publication like the National Enquire.....when there has been so many obvious cor-rections (mistakes) that have been made (in LCCN) and been proven. If you want documentation, I can give you plenty of documentation that shows that the things printed have been completely inaccurate in many respects and I can pretty well prove that...(at) the next meeting."
The articles and information Bruce is ranting about related to his sham candi-dates are:
• Trimble moving into the city after ten
years• Trimble voting record• Arroyo residency•Arroyo voting record• Campaign money linking Bruce, Navejas,
Groom, Trimble and Arroyo• Arroyo's inappropriate behavior and
firing. Below is certified documentation proving
each point. Case closed Mr. Bruce. LCCN demands a public retraction.
Needless to say this is very alarming. A city councilman ( and his pal ) endorsing two candidates who have no business running for office, publicly supported by a disgraced former mayor.
This is why the residents of Hawaiian Gardens need to vote for Mayor Mike Gomez and Councilman Victor Farfan. The future of the city depends on it.

Anthony Rapp and Adam Pascal Pay the Rent at CerritosBy Glen Creason
There was only one thing wrong with the show put together by Broadway stars Anthony Rapp and Adam Pascal at the Performing Arts Center on Saturday evening: there weren’t enough people in the audience. It wasn’t that the crowd needed company since they were as enthusiastic as any in hall history and exploded joyfully at any number of opening notes to the many songs sung on this night. While Rapp and Pascal are well known on the Great White Way for their roles in the original production of the multi-Tony award winning show “Rent” they may not carry the same cache out west, especially out southeast LA County.
Yet, both young men demonstrat-ed talent and passion to spare, singing with such conviction and confidence that the two dozen numbers they performed kept the audience ecstatically happy for over two solid hours. While their styles are completely different they both pos-sess wonderful voices and tremendously polished stage presences. Adam Pascal opened the show with an acerbic wit and a powerhouse voice that ranged from baritone to strong tenor to falsetto with dramatic effect. He sang from Broadway and Pop but managed to pay homage to the composers without copying the songs exactly. Case in point was Elton John’s “Rocket Man,” and Peter Gabriel’s poi-gnant “Solsbury Hill” along with show music gems “I Don’t Care Much” from Cabaret, “What I Did for Love” from A
Chorus Line, Steven Sondheim’s “Not a Day Goes By,” “I Feel You Joanna” from Sweeney Todd and a jazzy arrange-ment of “Maria” from West Side Story. He also sang some very nice original material including “Turn the Lights On” which he accompanied with himself on stick-bass and a memorable send up of his “A Single Drop of You.” Finally there was a rather unusual tribute to Ronnie James Dio which allowed Pascal to use every molecule of his very strong pipes.
While Anthony Rapp seems dia-metrically opposite in his cool, laid-back attitude the voice and stage confidence gained on Broadway were just the same as his concert-mate. Rapp elicited wild response from the RENT-heads in the mezzanine with his every move but for the most part he had the talent to match the adoration. His set was much more romantic and emotional but contained the similar components of Broadway and Pop. He did splendid versions of “Creep” by Radiohead, “Losing My Religion” by REM and a velvety “Chasing Cars” by Snow Patrol along with show tune “The Origin of Love” from Hedwig and the Angry Itch. There were also his origi-nal material “Then Again” and “Now I Know.” given a nice sheen by his sweet voice. Very powerful moments came in songs he dedicated to his late Mother “Visits to You” and “Without You” that had hankies mopping tears and mascara all over the hall. Still the many RENT-heads were hoping for and got a handful of the many great songs from that fine musical. “Living in America” just whet the appetites which were further satisfied by encores including “One Song Glory” and “There’s Only Us” and “Seasons of Love” that pretty much sent the audience into a spirited standing ovation.

not been disclosed. Wednesday night homicide detectives
received information about a dead body, a male, in a shallow grave near the cor-ner of Atlantic Avenue and Artesia Bou-levard, in the City of Long Beach.
This past Saturday, LCCN broke in-formation that a body of a nude female was discovered by a jogger running along a dirt path near the property of a historic residence located at the 11800 block of Norwalk Boulevard in Norwalk, just yards from the entrance of Metropolitan State Hospital.
Thursday, Los Angeles County Sher-iff Homicide officials are releasing the details of the double murder, and have also detained the two minors,.
According to Sheriff’s Homicide Bu-
reau detectives, the two cases from Nor-walk and Long Beach are indeed linked together.
The relationship of the male and fe-male have not been revealed, but LCCN has learned that the couple could are married to each other.
On Tuesday, the family of a couple residing in the 16100 block of South At-lantic Boulevard, in the City of Comp-ton, reported the couple missing under “suspicious circumstances.”
The family gave detectives the names of two subjects to contact regarding the disappearance. This morning, officials from the Coroner's Office arrived and re-covered a body from the grave.
Former Marine Anthony Rodriguez and his father Joseph, Saturday morning in their normally quiet north Norwalk neighborhood discovered the woman’s body.
Anthony, in his mid 20’s was taking his usual morning jog that lead him along a dirt pathway past a historical Norwalk
estate that has stood the test of time for more than a century.
He smelled a foul odor coming from behind several vines and sage bushes on the large vacant lot that rambles for acres next to Metropolitan State Hospital in this bedroom community of over 110,000 res-idents located half way between Down-town Los Angeles and Anaheim.
Rodriguez recognized the smell as that of being either a “dead dog” or “cat” and that a number of coyotes normally can be found in the area.
When he looked over the wired fence, he noticed a decaying object was that of a woman’s body that appeared to have been there for “a few days.” He immedi-ately called his father on his cell phone, and within minutes also dialed 911 and Norwalk Sheriff’s quickly converged on the property.
The elder Rodriguez, told Los Cerri-tos Community News exclusively that the dead victim he saw was a woman, either Latino or White, who was buried from above the waist, with a towel partially thrown around her. He said the body had “swollen up”
When members of the Norwalk Sher-iff’s Station arrive at around 10 a.m., the area was quickly tuned into a crime scene investigation location.
Neighbors from throughout the area lined the streets to watch investigators and members of the Coroner’s, foren-sic specialists, combed the vacant lot to search for clues and to determine how the woman died, how long she had been en-tombed in the field, and who was respon-sible, and the cause of the death.
By Monday morning, Los Angeles County Sheriff's Homicide Bureau detec-tives were continuing their investigation into the circumstances surrounding the death of the woman, who has not been positively identified.
“This doesn’t happen around this part of Norwalk,” the elder Rodriguez said.
Several other residents along Beaty Avenue thought differently.
“This vacant lot has been totally creepy, and people are coming and going all hours of the day and night around this lot,” a longtime female resident who only wanted to be known as “Sue” told LCCN. She also said that many truck drivers park their big rigs along this stretch of Nor-walk Boulevard “well into the night.”
By Sunday afternoon, steady streams of on lookers were peering over the fence and yellow crime scene tape, wondering about the identity of the victim.
Vickie Diaz, a resident of Santa Fe Springs said the situation and scene re-minded her of a “horror movie.”
“We know Halloween is around the corner, this has really shocked and scared many of us,” she said.
Norwalk resident Daniel Rodriguez found the dead woman's body along with his son Anthony.

Candidate for ABC Unified School District Board of EducationTwo Year Seat
Soo Yoo is a newcomer to elected politics but has been in the “business of education” for the past decade and a half as the owner
of her own private learning academy based on the eastside of Cerritos
Yoo has been a resident of Cerritos for the past 16 years and is a strong advocate of fiscal “responsibility” and to maintain a tight spending policy throughout the ABCUSD.
“Most economic forecasts are pre-dicting 5 or more difficult years for our region. If true, then it is extremely important who serves our district as a boardmember,” Yoo told Los Cerritos Community News.
“I will not shy away from making the tough decisions to improve our districts fiscal stability and reputation for excel-lence, Soo said.
Yoo was born in Seoul, South Korea and came to the United States at the age of eight. She grew up in Los Angeles where she attended and graduated from John Marshall High School, and UC Ir-vine where she earned a degree in Social Ecology. Yoo later earned a Doctor-ate Degree in Divinity and spends time
counseling local youth. She is a member of the Let Freedom
Ring Committee for the City of Cerritos and has founded two area youth clubs, one being a “Red Cross Club” and the other being a chapter of “Future Busi-ness Leaders of America,” (FBLA).
Yoo is interested in creating a pro-gram at ABCUSD called “Think Students First” that is aimed at protecting existing services offered by ABCUSD including Adult School. She also advocates “di-verse career pathways” including addi-tional vocational, ROP (Regional Occu-pation Programs) to college prep.
Yoo claims to have the endorsements of several area elected officials and com-munity leaders including Hawaiian Gar-dens Mayor Mike Gomez, Cerritos May-or Carol Chen, and Rep. Ed Royce.
Candidate for ABC Unified School District Board of Education-Two Year Seat
Mansour Mei-sami has been a resident of Cerritos for the past 32 years, and has been active in civic affairs as a teacher, a coun-selor, an Indus-
trial Safety Manager, Federal Govern-ment Employee, and as a member of the Cerritos Let Freedom Ring Committee
for the past 11 years.Meisami is running because of his
deep connection within the community and his belief that “our children’s edu-cation is of paramount importance” for everyone who lives within the ABC Uni-fied School District.
He said if elected he will be an “ag-gressive leader” who will “combat prob-lems” at the Board of Education level.
He was a strong advocate of hiring a new Superintendent of School’s via a national job search, instead of the cur-rent board’s decision to hire from within. Meisami applied as one of the candidates to replace former ABC School Board Member Mark Pulido. He said that the current ABC School Board mishandled the selection process to fill Pulido’s school board seat via appointment.
He also said that if elected to the two-year stint, that he would “reevaluate” his choices in seeking a full term in 2013.
Meisami claims to have the endorse-ment of former Cerritos Mayor Grace Hu, retired California State Assembly-woman Sally M. Havice, former ABC School Board Member Cecy Groom, Cerritos community leaders Roger Gar-rett and Bill Hu.
A former graduate of California State University Los Angeles, he earned a Masters Degree in Industrial Education.
This is his second attempt at running for public office.
Incumbent ABC School District
Armin Reyes was first elected to the ABC Unified School District back in 1999, and is seeking his fourth four year term as a board of educa-tion member.
The 48-year old father of three has a
Masters of Arts in Behavioral Science Negotiation and Conflict Management from California State University at Dominguez Hills and a Bachelors of Sci-ences from California State University Fullerton.
Reyes, who is also a Major in the Office in the United States Army, said that his passion in life is “education” and “giving back to the community and schools.” He is currently assigned to the 426th Civil Affairs Battalion, located in Upland as a Functional Specialty Team Leader.
He touts the “remarkable academic progress, improvement of school build-ings and the recruitment and retention of our highly effective staff” as some of his biggest accomplishments.
Reyes was a strong supporter in the hiring of new ABC USD Superintendent of Schools Dr. Mary Sieu, whom he calls “one of the smartest leaders in educa-tion” in California.
Reyes is also an advocate of provid-ing as many “career opportunities” for

Candidate for ABC School Board of Education
Henna Sharma is running in her first campaign for public office, and the 21 year old former self-described “product
of the ABC Uni-fied School Dis-trict” is has been talking serious about the future of the every chang-ing district.
“It’s time for a qualified young person to step into
a leadership position here in ABC,” she told Los Cerritos Community News. The former graduate of Cerritos High School, and from George Washington Univer-sity is hoping that voters will “give her chance” and to “look to the future” by “pushing the envelope of achievement.”
She calls herself an “experienced community and political activist,” and touts her professional experience in the past while working with the Robert F. Kennedy Center for Justice and Human Rights and with US Congresswoman Linda Sanchez as being able to bring a “unique perspective” to the ABC School Board.
She said she will work hard as a board member to “maintain and enhance stu-dents’ achievement and ability to reach their true potential,” and to “develop new, innovative ways to actively engage parents and teachers together” in a dia-logue.
Sharma, like many her generation became political active in the 2008 Presi-dential election and work on the Obama for America campaign as an “organizer.”
“The focus must be on a student-centered education, in order to ensure equitable access for all students to enjoy the fruits of the highest-achieving school district in California,” Sharma said.
She said her “youth” and “energy” and “fresh perspective” on education and the “real challenges” that students in AB-CUSD face are an “asset” to the entire community.
The well-spoken Sharma is also reaching potential voters and supporters via social media sites such as Facebook and other outlets.
“Face it, we live in a new world, and I am confident in my ability to lead and serve as a member of the ABC School Board.” Sharma said.

IncumbentNorwalk-La Mirada Unified School District Board Of Education
Karen Morri-son has a passion for education and has amassed near-ly three decades of involvement with-in the Norwalk-La Mirada Unified School District.
Like most, after she was married 37 years ago, and beginning a new family she immediately got involved in local Parent Teacher Associations when her then two children attended elementary school in La Mirada.
Now, Morrison is running for her third term on the NLM School Board of Education, and her enthusiasm for ser-vice “motivates” her to “give back.”
“We need to all be involved with our children, grandchildren. It is more than a civic responsibility, to me it is a pas-sion,” Morrison told Los Cerritos Com-munity News recently.
She wants to continue to be part of a “positive working team” that provides a “quality education” for all students.
Morrison wants to continue to keep Norwalk-La Mirada schools on an “up-ward” motion and to continue to strive for higher academic achievements in these challenging times that are facing local school boards all over the nation.
“I want to continue fiscal solvency for the future of our district, and it starts with providing a safe school campus and learning environment on every campus.”
She is proud of the positive changes that the school board has made during her first two terms, and wants to continue to advocate parental involvement and in-crease public-private partnerships in the district.
Candidate For Norwalk-La Mirada Unified School Board Of Education
Norwalk Jesse Urquidi likes to refer to himself as a “proud product” of the Norwalk-La Mirada Unified School District, who is now de-termined to “give
back” to the community.The 42 year old businessman has
been active in civic affairs for what he says seems like “a lifetime.”
He is a strong advocate of public edu-cation and even calls Norwalk-La Mirada schools and students the “most precious resource in our community.”
“I have demonstrated this belief by my commitment in reactivating the Nor-walk La Mirada Education Foundation,” Urguidi told Los Cerritos Community News.
He grew up in the local community and attended Nettie L. Waite Elementa-ry and also graduated from John Glenn High School.
For the past year, Urquidi has served as the appointed “Community Member” on the Governing Board for the ever popular Governing Board Member of the Southeast Regional Occupational Pro-gram (SEROP).
Urquidi has a long impressive list of elected officials supporting his efforts, some might even say it is a literal “who’s who” of leaders “actively working to support my campaign.”
He claims active support from popu-lar United States Congresswoman Grace F. Napolitano, Norwalk City Council-man Marcel Rodarte, Norwalk Vice Mayor Cheri Kelley, Norwalk Council-man Leonard Shryock, La Mirada Mayor Steve Jones, Cerritos College Trustee Bob Arthur and La Mirada Vice Mayor Gabe Garcia.
He is also endorsed by current NLM School Board Members Ed Hengler, Margarita Rios and Daryl Adams.
He said he has developed the “experi-ence” in analyzing educational budgets, and how to evaluate personnel and see firsthand the accomplishments of stu-dents during his tenure as an SEROP Board Member. “I am ready to get to work on behalf of the students and the community and will hit the ground run-ning if elected,” he said. His campaign committee has set up a website at www.vote4jesseurquidi.org.

nity colleges in Southern California.“If you look at Rio Hondo College
today, as compared to the campus 12 years ago when I was first elected, you would not ever recognize Rio has being the same campus or learning institu-tion,” Mendez told Los Cerritos Com-munity News recently.
Mendez, while admitting that “it hasn’t been easy” for community col-leges to succeed in these dire economic conditions, said he has continued his “mission to make Rio Hondo Commu-nity
College District more responsive to community needs while being fiscally disciplined.”
Mendez is running for reelection against four other challengers, and he said he “welcomes” a campaign based upon “proven results” as opposed to a campaign based upon “innuendo.”
“The facts is that Rio Hondo College has had a balanced budget for every year for the past 12 years,” Mendez said. He is also one of the biggest advocates for some of the programs he calls the “best offered in America” including a “world class” Fire Training Academy that is “the envy of public institutions.”
Mendez, who is a child safety ad-vocate, has dedicated thousands of hours helping children with self defense courses by providing karate instructions “day in and day out.”
He is also proud that Rio Hondo Col-lege has hired 13 faculty, 35 staff, five managers in 2011 and over 300 “local skilled-workers” to help build tens of millions of dollars in news state of the art facilities, including a new satellite campus.
“Our Rebuild Rio Program is 90% complete. We’ve built and remodeled 10 buildings and today Rio Hondo truly is that shining place on the hill everyone is proud to attend, and work at,” Mendez said.
He also said Rio Hondo is safer campus. “We’ve installed 30 new Blue Light Emergency Phone Towers across campus and activated an electronic emergency notification system creating a safer campus.”
Note: Rio Hondo Trustee Area 4 in-cludes all of North Norwalk (north of Im-perial Highway), and Santa Fe Springs, Los Nietos, and parts of South Whittier. He is being challenged by Ronald Law-rence of Norwalk, Margarita G. Mace-donio of Whittier or Frank “Francis” Vasquez also from Whittier. None of the challengers accepted the invitation to interview with Los Cerritos Community News for this series of articles.

“Learn about hearing loss and hearing aids”
Valley Christian’s “new season” begins with victory in league openerBy Loren Kopff
Despite a 1-5 record, Valley Chris-tian’s football team had to be feeling good about itself when it hosted Olym-pic League foe Village Christian last Fri-day night. Not only was it homecoming night, always a sign of good things for the host Crusaders, but it was the league opener and a chance to start all over.
Valley Christian head coach Erick Streelman told his players to think of themselves as 0-0 instead of 1-5. And shortly after Valley Christian scored the game-winning touchdown with 10.7 sec-onds left on the clock, senior offensive lineman and linebacker Anthony Nocera shouted out, “it’s a new season, it’s a new season”. Desperately seeking a win, Val-ley Christian responded and rallied from a 10-point halftime deficit to knock off Village Christian 31-24.
With 3:37 left in the game and trail-
ing by a point, Valley Christian began at its own 16-yard line and rode the legs of senior running back Jaylen Raye and the arms of junior quarterback Patrick Avila and junior wide receiver Brandon Bynum to score the winning touchdown. Raye carried six times for 35 yards and Avila connected with Bynum four times for 57 yards including a 16-yard pass over the middle for the game winner.
“What’s good for us is that we’re a no huddle [offense],” Streelman said. “So, we’re always playing fast. That fits right into us. What’s bad for us is our passing game wasn’t really clicking to-night. Our best way to move the ball was to run it and obviously that doesn’t stop the clock. We had to balance those two things out.”
Valley Christian, which has won at least 14 straight homecoming games, in-cluding three against Village Christian, struggled in the first half with 77 yards and two turnovers. But the second half was a completely different story as the hosts racked up 237 yards and the de-fense held Village Christian to just a third quarter touchdown.
“All we talked about all week was that we’ve been killing ourselves,” Streelman said. “In the first six games, we’ve had 23 turnovers if you count special teams. All we worked on all week was eliminating the mental mistakes. In the first half, we didn’t do that; we had nine. That’s what
the halftime speech was all about. In the second half, we played more solid.”
Valley Christian took a 7-0 lead late in the first quarter on a two-yard run from junior running back Tyler McLurg. But Village Christian dominated the second quarter and got touchdown runs from Cayden Boyd (eight yards) and Amjed Aboul-Hosn (five yards) to take a 14-7 lead with 1:56 left in the half. But a fumble on the ensuing kickoff allowed the visitors to take a short field (14 yards) and run out the clock before getting a 20-yard field goal from Justin Teleng.
Valley Christian came out strong in the third quarter, capping off a 50-yard drive in three and a half minutes with a three-yard score from Raye. Then Val-ley Christian forced Village Christian to punt, which never happened because a bad snap resulted in the pigskin roll-ing into the end zone. The host Crusad-ers immediately pounced on the live ball for a safety to make it a 17-16 affair. When Valley Christian got the ball back, Raye would pick up another 26 yards on three carries, setting the stage for senior LeWayne Wright’s go-ahead score from 28 yards out.
At that point, Streelman went for the extra point instead of going for two which would have made it a seven-point lead. The plan almost backfired after Vil-lage Christian responded with a 34-yard touchdown run from Aboul-Hosn to give
the visiting Crusaders a 24-23 lead with 2:08 left in the stanza.
“I never go for two in the third quar-ter because you always end up chasing points,” Streelman said. “My rule is I never go for two until the fourth quar-ter. You don’t want to chase points too early.”
But with Raye taking care of the ground game, he made sure that Valley Christian would have a chance to re-claim the lead and win. Raye rushed for 99 yards in the second half on 15 car-ries and finished with 148 yards on 25 touches. After the team struggled in the first few weeks to find an identity with its running game, Raye has sparked the team, gaining over 130 yards in four of the last five games. He leads the team with 689 yards and four touchdowns and has accounted for 76 percent of the team’s rushing production.
“I think what really helped him in terms of settling in is going to a I-forma-tion than running out of the gun,” Streel-man said. “He’s doing a really good job. He’s shifty, he’s quick and he’s tough to handle.”
Both teams traded interceptions ear-ly in the fourth quarter but facing fourth and 16 from the 30-yard line, Valley Christian’s defense stopped Josh Rolls at the 16-yard line, two yards short of a first down and from there, the game-winning drive began. Avila was eight of 17 for 79 yards and Bynum caught six passes for 67 yards. Wright and senior linebacker Zach D’Amico each had nine tackles while sophomore defensive back Jerry Raye and Nocera had seven and six tackles respectively.
The win was crucial for Valley Christian because Village Christian was one of three league teams ranked in the

California Interscholastic Federation-Southern Section’s Mid-Valley Division. Village Christian was eighth but now is on the outside looking in, as is Valley Christian. Maranatha is the top ranked team in the division while Whittier Christian is ranked seventh. But before Valley Christian faces those two teams, it has to go on the road to face Los Angeles Baptist on Saturday. Valley Christian has won six of the past seven meetings with the Knights.
“We don’t have an easy game on our schedule,” Streelman said. “Even Los Angeles Baptist is better this year too. We’re not good enough to take anyone for granted.
Norwalk moves forward with playoff push, John Glenn continues in other direction
By Loren Kopff
The 2011 Norwalk girls volleyball team is inching closer to ending the lon-gest current playoff drought by a Sub-urban League team and following its road win last Thursday at city rival John Glenn, the Lady Lancers now control their own destiny. Norwalk knocked off the Lady Eagles 25-20, 25-21, 17-25,
25-11 to seize complete control of fourth place of the league.
Norwalk (5-5 overall, 4-3 in league) completed its first season series sweep against Glenn since 2005 and moved two full games ahead of the Lady Eagles for the final automatic playoff berth. But with the sweep, it feels like a three-game lead with four matches left in the regular season for both squads.
“We have talked about it and I told them these matches are very important,” said Norwalk head coach Quoc Nguyen. “We just can’t take them lightly. We did the last time we played them.”
“Up until the end of the match, we re-ally felt we had a shot for the playoffs,” said John Glenn head coach David Cruz. “I thought we had a shot to beat [Nor-walk] but we couldn’t match their ener-gy. They came out with a lot of fire and they knew this was an important match. They came out to beat us and we didn’t match their intensity at all.”
Indeed it was Norwalk providing the passion and intensity that a team needs to get to the playoffs. Junior defensive specialist Ana Christy Ortiz served six straight points at the beginning of the first set to help the Lady Lancers build a 7-2 lead. They never looked back but the Lady Eagles (4-9, 2-5) made it inter-esting when senior defensive specialist Denise Ponce had consecutive aces and senior middle blocker Moshanae Sum-merise pounded down her fifth fill of the match to make it a 16-15 Norwalk lead. But a serving error followed by back to back aces from junior outside hitter Bre-nae Brown pushed the Norwalk lead to 20-16.
Norwalk again roared to a monster lead in the second set thanks to Or-tiz (seven straight points) and held a
14-2 advantage. Later in the set, junior middle blocker Michelle Macias put the Lady Eagles in a deeper hole with three straight aces, making it 18-7. But like the first set, the hosts rallied back to make the score more respectable and got help from sophomore middle blocker Myra Gomez, who served four straight aces, then saw Summerise get her ninth kill as Norwalk’s lead shrunk to 20-16. After a side out, Summerise added another kill and Ponce had an ace to make it a three-point Norwalk lead.
“That’s something that does worry me,” Nguyen said of the blown leads. “We did the same thing in the first game against La Mirada. It’s that killer instinct [that we’re lacking]. They just get too relaxed.”
Glenn finally got it together in the third set and was up 9-4 before Nor-walk came back to take an 11-10 lead. But Gomez gave her team some hope by serving four straight points. At the end of the set, senior defensive specialist Desiree Hindman had a pair of aces as Glenn avoided being swept in a match by Norwalk for the second straight season.
“The attitude of the girls coming into this week, or this match, was a noncha-lant attitude,” Cruz said. “There wasn’t too much feeling whether or not they made the playoffs or not. That’s the at-titude I’ve felt they’ve had all year.”
But Norwalk made sure the Lady Eagles would not force a fifth set as it got out of the gates fast in the fourth set,
[See SPORTS page 14]SUBURBAN LEAGUE VOLLEYBALL
WWW.LOSCERRITOSNEWS.NET14 COMMUNITY NEWS GROUP • OCTOBER 21, 2011 TO ADVERTISE CALL 800-901-7211
leading 10-4, 15-5 and 17-6. Of the first 15 points, 11 were kills by six different players. Macias had a big match, re-cording 17 kills with half a dozen com-ing in the final set. Norwalk sophomore opposite hitter Viviana Gomez had 12 kills while senior middle blocker Amy Siliezar added six kills.
“We’re playing with a lot more pas-sion,” Nguyen said. “We’re a lot more energetic and also, we’re more aggres-sive. I think we were very tentative in the first half of the season. Now, the girls are swinging away.”
Norwalk now has more wins this sea-son than the past two seasons combined and has more league victories since go-ing 6-6 in 2005. That was also the last time the program had a winning overall record. The Lady Lancers are also on pace to end a streak of five straight dou-ble digit loss seasons. Norwalk, which fell to league-leading Mayfair this past Tuesday to fall to 4-4 in league action, hosted last place Artesia on Oct. 20 and will visit defending league champion Cerritos on Tuesday. Two days later, Norwalk travels to La Mirada in a battle for third place.
“Norwalk has had such a long tradi-tion of losing to La Mirada, Mayfair and Cerritos,” Nguyen said. “But we beat Cerritos one game and that was vic-tory in itself for us. I didn’t think that La Mirada, talent wise, was better than us. It’s just a mental block. If we work hard and play hard and beat La Mirada, Mayfair or whoever else, we’ll get over that mental block and it will change the culture here.”
The Lady Eagles were led by Sum-merise (19 kills, two blocks) but didn’t have anyone else get more than five kills. Glenn hosted Mayfair on Oct. 20 and will visit Artesia and Bellflower next week. Glenn’s only two league wins have come against Artesia and Bellflower.
“I honestly think we have a very good team,” Cruz said. “It’s just that they don’t play at that level every single play. So, teams get big leads on us and we’ve seen it all year. Then we fight back and find some way to give it away at the end.”

CERRITOS SHERIFF’S STATION
Weekly Crime SummaryOctober 10-16, 2011
There were 26 Part I felony crimes reported to the Cerritos Sheriff’s Station last week, down from 30 the previous one. Vehicle thefts were up, robberies and commercial burglaries remained the same, while residential and vehicle burglaries dropped. Patrol deputies handled 275 calls for service, which is up from 271 the week before. The current 2011 weekly average in calls for service is 273.
One robbery was reported. On Tues-day October 11 at 11:00 p.m. a male was approached in a closed park by three sus-pects in the 7800 block of Denni Street. The victim was told to empty his pockets and a fight ensued. The suspects fled with the victim’s jacket.
Residential burglaries fell from eight to three last week. Two were caused by open/unlocked windows and the third window was shattered. Laptop computers, coins, and shotguns were taken. The 2011 week-ly average in residential burglaries remains at 4.0.
The Cerritos Sheriff’s Station/Commu-nity Safety Center receives frequent inqui-ries from new and established residents as to the best methods to protect a home from burglary. Our number one recommenda-tion is to have an alarm system installed. These systems are a proven deterrent and initiate a law enforcement response within minutes.
For the second consecutive week there were two commercial burglaries reported to Cerritos Station. A fitness center locker was targeted where ID, a cell phone, and car keys were stolen. The other was a closed business where a rear door was pried and a large amount of sunglasses and eyeglasses were missing. The 2011 weekly average in commercial/“other structure” burglaries is 2.9.
Vehicle burglaries dropped from ten to six last week. All six occurred in high-volume commercial parking lots. Five were SUVs. ID, wallets, and third-row seats (from SUVs) were listed as the stolen property. The 2011 weekly average in ve-hicle burglaries remained at 6.6.
Nine vehicle thefts were logged com-pared to four the previous week. Eight were from high-volume commercial park-ing lots, four were Hondas, two were SUVs, and two were commercial trucks. The 2011 weekly average in vehicle thefts is now 3.0.
Cadillac Escalades, GMC Yukons, and Chevrolet Tahoes are commonly reported stolen in Cerritos. The theft for parts should always be a concern for the owner of one of these types of vehicles. While a steer-ing wheel locking device may not stop the selective thief that specifically wants your
vehicle, most will simply go to another one and not bother. Some form of protec-tion is better than none at all, so consider equipping your vehicle with an anti-theft device.
