He said Hawaiian Gardens receives approximately $220,000 in Prop. A Local Return Transit Funds that can only be used for public transportation purposes. In re-cent years, General Funds has subsidized Prop A programs and expenditures. For the 2011-12 Budget, the General Fund is scheduled to subsidize Prop. A and C pro-grams for $170,000 and $130,000 respec-tively.

He said city staff negotiated the pur-chase of $40,000 Prop A Funds from the City of La Habra Heights in exchange for $30,000 of General Fund dollars. In addi-tion the staff also negotiated the purchase of $65,000 Prop A Funds from the City of La Habra Height fiscal year 2012-13 allot-ments in exchange for $48,750 of General Funds dollars.

Sung said the $78,750 of Prop A funds will completely support approved trans-portation programs which were previously budgeted through Prop A and C Funds with a General Fund subsidy. Programs and proj-ects currently budgeted in Prop C. which are Prop A eligible will be transferred to Prop A to allow for the use of purchased Prop A. funds.

Supervisor Don Knabe Gives "State of County" Talk to Norwalk ChamberBy Jerry [email protected]

Speaking before the Norwalk Chamber of

Commerce Mar. 29, Los Angeles County Su-p e r v i s o r Don Knabe gave an up-date on the economy. “Last Year I reported to you a 12.6 per cent unemployment rate in Ls Angeles County. As of February, it is 11.6 per cent,” which he described as better, but not good enough. He said it is all about jobs, “This has been a real fo-cus for me over the last few years.”

The Supervisor said his 10,000 Jobs Programs created more than 11,000 jobs and 1,500 people landed full time perma-nent non-subsidized employment. ”Over the last five years we have also created nearly 17,000 jobs for young people who have been really hard hit in this reces-sion.”

Knabe said recently the Board ap-proved his proposal to reform the Welfare-to-Work program. “We had 470 partici-pants enrolled through the South Bay Work Investment Board. Now we have doubled it, giving twice the number of participants the ability to convert welfare checks into paychecks,” he stated.

Knabe, who is known for his support of small businesses, said “ if we want busi-nesses to hire more people, we need to make it easy for them to do business. “ He said a few months ago, on his motion, the Broad increased the bid preference from five percent to eight percent for certified, local small businesses which bid on county contracts. “This will help small companies who want to do business with the County and we’re going to see them get more con-tracts. It also encourages them to hire more employees.”

STATE REALIGNINGTurning to the budget Knabe said 90

per cent of the County’s budget is man-dated. On top of that the state is pushing down to the local governments many of the

The Hawaiian Gardens City Council approved an amended budget for fiscal year 2011-12 at its Mar. 27

meeting. Finance Director David Sung said expenditures where the city can cut in the second half of the year have been identified.

He said California’s financial condi-tion has been challenging during the past two years with the State termination of Redevelopment Agencies effective Feb. 1, 2012. “Even though we have a balanced budget, we have been diligent to find ways to cut costs throughout all departments and continue cutting expenditures wherever we can.” He said the recommended budget adjustments would have a budget decrease of $562,300. As part of the net budget de-crease, the un-encumbered portion of the General Plan Update, $100,000 will return to the General Fund Reserve account.

In other business the council approved the exchange of Proposition A funds for fiscal year 2011-12 and fiscal year 2012-13 between Hawaiian Gardens and the city of La Habra Heights.

Sung explained the city has been trying to find ways to increase revenue to pay for its transportation needs. One of these items was purchasing Proposition A Transporta-tion Funds at a discount from other cities in return for unrestricted General Fund dol-lars.

Atrip to China and Japan this past week led by two Cerritos City Council members has raised ques-

tions about how the trip was funded, and if the public was ever properly notified and informed about the details.

Cerritos City Council members Carol Chen and Bruce Barrows led a delega-tion that included Artesia City Council-man Tony Lima, as well as Santa Monica Councilwoman Pam O’Connor as well as a private business owner, a Chinese bank branch manager, and two other government agencies.

The trip also included an official meet-ing at the United States Embassy in Bei-jing, sightseeing tours and dinners, with organizers, Spring International.

Participating in the seven night trip was Cerritos resident Rosalinda Law, a member of the Cerritos Economic Development Commission, Mike Kodama, Orange Line Development Authority Executive Director and Norman Arakawa, Assistant Director of Trade Development for the Port of Los An-

geles. Also attending is Cathy Li, a branch manager of Chinese Wing Lung Bank as well as Linda Fowells, Executive Vice President of Community Partners.

In a statement issued by Chen prior to their departure, the Cerritos Council-woman claims that the group’s main goal

is to “study trade and transportation.” “The delegation will meet with automotive, clean energy and retail industries,” Chen said. They are scheduled to return to Los Ange-les this Saturday.

Cerritos Crime Summary March 26, - April 1, 2012

For the second week in a row, 18 Part I felony investigations were conducted by the Cerritos Sheriff’s Station. Increases oc-curred in robberies, residential burglaries, and vehicle thefts. Commercial burglaries remained the same, and vehicle burglaries declined. 246 calls for service were han-dled by patrol personnel last week, down from 254 the week before.

The 2012 weekly average in calls for service is 260.

One robbery was investigated. A lone male suspect approached a male victim in a bank parking lot in the 18600 block of Gridley Road on Saturday March 31 at 12:39 p.m. The suspect simulated a handgun and robbed the victim of a small amount of cash.

Four residential burglaries were re-ported. Three were recorded the previous week. Two of the cases last week were made possible by open/unlocked doors or windows. One side garage door was kicked in, and a window was shattered at the fourth residence. Reported loss items included jewelry, laptop computers, iPads, backpacks, checks, cameras, and passports. The 2012 weekly average in residential burglaries is now 4.5.

Burglar alarms and dogs are the would-be burglar’s worst enemies. Most insur-ance companies offer a discount on a ho-meowner’s policy when an alarm system is installed. Both of these additions at-tract attention to your home when there is an intrusion, but only one will result in a Sheriff’s Department response every time. Unless you can train your dog to dial 911, look into an alarm system BEFORE you

become a victim.For the third consecutive week, one

commercial burglary was investigated. A fitness center locker was the target after a lock was cut. A debit card and rings were taken. The 2012 weekly average in com-mercial burglaries is now 1.2.

Vehicle burglaries dropped from sev-en to three last week. High-volume com-mercial parking lots were the locations in three, and two were SUVs. Third-row seats (from SUVs), purses, clothes, credit cards, and ID were stolen. The 2012 weekly aver-age in vehicle burglaries is 6.2.

The safest place to leave items inside of a vehicle is in your locked garage. Re-member that wherever you park, you be-come “fair game” to any thief that can look inside of your vehicle and observe valuable property. Whether you park on a street, in a parking lot, or even your own driveway, the thin window that separates your prop-erty from a thief is not any protection at all. Window smashes are the most reported points of entry in vehicle burglaries. SUVs, pick-ups, and vans do not have trunk space. Criminals know this and look even closer. Don’t become a victim by giving a crimi-nal the chance to make you one.

Vehicle thefts rose from two to seven. High-volume commercial parking lots were the crime scenes in only three. Five SUVs, a Honda, and a Ford were listed as stolen. The 2012 weekly average in vehicle thefts is now 4.7.

Even though we see more Hondas and Toyotas stolen compared to others, car thieves are not always as selective as you think and are often just looking for trans-portation. Consider a steering wheel lock-ing device that serves as a good visual de-terrent.

The Ocean Can Be Filled Yet the Mouth of a Human Being Can Never be FilledBy Jerry [email protected]

Last week my FRIEND FROM FRUIT-Last week my FRIEND FROM FRUIT-Last week my FRIEND FROM FRUITCAKE, FLORIDA attended the Norwalk Chamber of Commerce luncheon where Los Angeles County Supervisor Don Knabe was the guest speaker. The Supervi-sor discussed the State of the County. “He gave an excellent report,” my Friend said.

“I know, “ I replied. I wrote a story on what he said in this week’s Community News.”

“I thought it interesting when he com-mented on what was happening at the state and federal level concerning some of the laws being passed.” he said,

“Okay,” I said with tongue in cheek. “I’m assuming you’re referring to laws that will improve the job situation in the state including some changes in state law that will help small business and earmark more funding for the state’s schools.”

My FRIEND FROM FRUITCAKE, FLORIDA gave me a look. “Not quite,” he said. “Did you know the legislature passed a law allowing the display of mountain lion carcasses. They also agreed on a law man-dating fitted sheets in hotel rooms, and per-mitted the operation of bikes without seats on state roads as long as the bike was built that way on purpose.”

“ I would think that would be uncom-fortable, I interjected..

“I would think so,” he agreed., before

he continued. “On the federal level one de-bate centered on whether pizza now counts as a vegetable. Is this what they should be focused on right now,” he asked.

I wouldn’t think so. I replied, ”but maybe that’s all the members of both the Congress and State Legislature are able to agree upon. I sometime think when they’re elected to office our representatives forget why they were elected in the first place. If they can’t come to agreement on an impor-tant issue, maybe this is all they can do.

“Enough on state and national poli-tics,” I said. How long are you going to be in town?

My FRIEND FROM FRUITCAKE FLORIDA looked at me. “We’ll I’m think-ing of returning home for a few weeks. We have a city council election coming up and I want to be there for it.”

“You can vote by absentee ballot,” I suggested.

“No, I want to be there. We’ve only had one candidate declare he’s running, but I know there will be more.”

“How many seats?” I asked.“Three.” He answered. “Two incum-

bents are retiring and the third coun-cilmember is seeking re-election.”

“Is there a problem?” I asked.“It’s to early to tell, but there are rum-

bles that outside funding may be coming into play which could change the entire picture of the race.”

“In what way? I asked.“Fruitcake is a small community. Many

of the residents are second and third gen-eration. Change is good, but not if it is for personal gain or revenge.”

I wondered what he meant by that com-ment, but I decided not to ask.. We sat in silence . “I’ve got to go,” he said. With that he got up and left. I sat at my desk for a few moments, thinking about what he had said.

Letter to the Editor

Re: Cerritos College Trustees Settles Election LawsuitDear Editor,

The Cerritos College Board of Trustees through its spokesperson leaves the impression that a lawsuit was not needed to bring about changing the Board elections from at large to trustees areas. The impression was that there was no need for a lawsuit as they were aware of the California Voting Rights Act and they intended to implement it without a lawsuit.

However, the issue of changing the election method was brought up at the April 6, 2011 Board of Trustees meeting. The minutes of that Board meeting state the following: THE BOARD AGREED THAT THERE IS CURRENTLY NO INTEREST IN MOVING TOWARD CONDUCTING TRUSTEE AREA ELECTIONS. That statement should speak for itself.

As no action was taken even for a study of the issue, I appeared before the College Board on June 8, 2011 and asked that a study of district based elections be placed on the agenda of the next Board meeting. There was no signal that this would happen and legal action was the alternative.

As an aside, on the Agenda for that meeting was appointing a replacement for the late Bob Epple. As a very quali-fied Latina was one of the three finalists to replace Mr. Epple, this would have been a perfect opportunity for the Board to act in compliance with the CVRA.

However, when I arrived at the meet-ing, I noted a well qualified Caucasian sit-ting in the front row. That person was one of ten candidates to fill the ABCUSD va-cancy left by Mark Pulido’s election to the Cerritos City Council. However, this can-didate could not get the 4 votes needed for appointment to the ABC Board.

I am of the opinion that she was then encouraged to go after the vacant seat on the College Board. She would have enough votes among her circle of friends on the Board. Whether her appointment was as-sured in advance or not is a matter of con-jecture.

Yet the fact remains that the College had to spend $55,000 for not moving fast-er to comply with the California Voting Rights Act.

Ebell Session About Community April 10thBy Marilyn D. Carwile

Maggie Swedberg will address the La Mirada Ebell Club at 7 p.m. April 11 in Room 2, La Mirada Resource Center, be-hind City Hall. Attendees will learn “How to Get the Most from Your Community.”

After moving to La Mirada a year ago, Swedberg decided to become involved in the community but wasn’t sure where to start. Word-of-mouth recommendations helped but, mostly, she came to rely heavily on lo-cal newspapers and the La Mirada Insider. The Insider is a City-sponsored publication which features seasonal events and classes in and around the City of La Mirada.

Wednesday, Swedberg will impart her new-found knowledge to other interested newcomers. Swedberg commuted to La Mirada for a decade as an Activity Center employee but, during those years, mainly spent her off-hours with family.

The agenda will include last-minute preparations for the April 14 Spring Fash-ion Show at the La Mirada Country Club.Although no tickets will be sold at the door, Susan Gonzales, 562 743-0957, may be contacted for information.

FASHION SHOW APR. 14The La Mirada Ebell Club Fashion/Lun-

cheon will be held Apr. 14 at the La Mirada County Club, 15501 E. Allcante Road. Su-sie Cruz of Simply Susie’s Boutique is event coordinator. Ebell members and friends will wear the latest adult fashions. Biola students will model prom and graduation attire, and J.C. Penny will clothe children walking the event runway.

Door prizes will be awarded throughout the afternoon. Jewelry and other fashionable items will be available for purchase before and fashion show. Monies raised help fund the club’s scholarship program. This year’s goal is to present four $1,000 scholarships to local high school students aspiring to a higher education.

The Ebell Club recently marked its 53rd year of service to the community. Other projects sponsored by the Ebell Club in-clude assisting with Youth Government, Easter Egg Hunt, Spring Beautification, Mother-Daughter Tea and Pet Vaccination events.

Ebell membership is open to women interested in community service. The Club is dark in July and August. Membership is drawn from La Mirada and surrounding communities. The non-profit group annu-ally funds at least three scholarships for high school graduates and supports several other charitable organizations. Phone Lor-rie Larson, 714 521-2561.

Twenty scholarship winners and 62 student award winners were honored on Thursday evening, March 29, at Cerritos College’s annual Academic Excellence Awards ceremony in the Burnight Center Theatre.

The Academic Excellence Awards were created in 1981 to recognize the academic accomplishments of students in various de-partments throughout the college. Students recognized at the ceremony are some of the finest examples of how Cerritos College is fulfilling its mission by building futures through learning. The faculty and staff are excited to see what the future holds for these students who have made academic excellence a priority in the pursuit of their education.

Students must meet rigorous criteria including the completion of a minimum of 30 units at Cerritos College with a 3.5 grade point average or higher, the comple-tion of nine units in the area of recognition with a 3.5 grade points average or higher, and the recommendation of a faculty mem-ber in the area of recognition.

This year’s ceremony began with greet-ings by Cerritos College Foundation Chair-man George Gordon and Cerritos College President/Superintendent Dr. Linda Lacy.

The audience enjoyed Benedetto Mar-cello’s Il mio bel foco performed by Cyn-thia Hernandez accompanied by Anne Shin, both students in Applied Music.

Keynote speaker, Dani Carroll, pro-fessor of dental hygiene, encouraged the students to appreciate themselves for what they have accomplished. She reminded the students of four key elements that they practiced to reach academic excel-lence: self-confidence, self-discipline, wise choices and interdependency. “By recog-nizing your accomplishments you gain the confidence to make new things happen,” she said. “Now go out there and make a difference.”

Rob Williams, one of the most beloved and well respected teachers in the Norwalk-La Mirada Unified School District is being remembered as a “teacher who lived a life full of lessons.”

The 50 year old educator and teacher at Cesar Chavez Elementary School in Nor-walk died on March 21st after a very brief illness, and his passing has left a huge hole in the hearts of teachers, administrators and for the thousands of children he instructed during his tenure with the Norwalk-La Mirada Unified School District.

Williams was the musical director and an ubber-popular instructor at Chavez El-ementary School in Norwalk and according

to his long time friend and Principal Bob Rayburn his sudden passing “has left a huge hole in all of our hearts.”

Williams was a “homegrown” prod-uct who lived in La Mirada and attended

Norwalk-La Mirada Unified School District campuses as a child. He was a graduate of La Mirada High School in 1980 and was married to the Kathy Williams, whom he called the “love of his life.” He was also an accomplished professional musician and played in several symphonies.

Williams was one of the “best of the best” teachers in all of the Norwalk-La Mirada Unified School District according to his many colleagues.

He was recognized as the district’s of-ficial “Teacher of the Year” in 2010-11.

“Rob’s passing has hit all of us hard, “Norwalk-La Mirada Unified School Dis-trict Superintendent Dr. Ruth Perez told Los Cerritos Community Newspaper last week.

“He was the best of the best and dedicat-

ed his life to our children and to this com-munity,” Perez said.

The school district placed the infor-mation about the death of Williams on the school district’s website. “When a loved one dies, it can be difficult to know how to help your child cope with his or her loss,” a statement read.

Students were sent home information to help “deal with grief.”

“Rob was bigger than life,” Williams said.

When asked about a memorial service or funeral plans, Williams said that “Rob didn’t want a formal funeral where every-one would be sad.”

“He was full of life and wanted to be re-membered that way.”

by Los Cerritos Community Newspaper, the trip includes “scenic” tourist visits, lim-ousine buses, river boat cruises of the water front of Shanghai, private tours of the Great Wall of China, as well as hotel accommo-dations at some of Asia’s most exclusive resorts.

LCCN was sent brightly color bro-chures, produced by the City of Cerritos that promotes the trip that also solicits and “encourages” other local Southern Cali-fornia elected officials to participate in the excursion.

“The City of Cerritos is pleased to present an exciting opportunity in which a delegation of local elected officials and business leaders from Southern California will be able to cultivate these relationships. Participants will travel to major cities in China and Japan to meet with leaders in the automotive, clean energy, retail and trans-portation industries.”

“In our modern environment of eco-nomic globalization the success of our economic endeavors is directly affected by our exposure to business opportunities at all levels-local, domestic, and international,” the promotional materials state.

“The best opportunities often are de-pendent upon the business relationships that are cultivated through mutual interests, which do not recognize international bor-ders. The relationships usually cannot be developed in the course of regular business, but must be sought, identified and pursued proactively,” the mission statement of the group that is listed as “Southern California Elected Officials Economic Development and High Speed Rail Delegation to China and Japan.”ARRIVAL IN CHINA

Following their arrival this past Satur-day, the marketing material for the event states “after this long transpacific voyage, it’s a pleasure to settle into your accommo-dations.”

The promotional tour brochure also

touts of “corporate sponsorship opportuni-ties” for the Delegation.

“At the corporate sponsorship level, each participant will receive a one-page biographical description and a brief writ-ten description of his/her company (in both English and Chinese) in the delegation’s promotional package. The company logo and name will appear on all promotional materials. In addition, participants will be invited to attend all business meetings and receptions with the delegation, and will find opportunities to present their companies to high-level transportation officials and in-dustry leaders in China and Japan.”

A “bilingual tour guide” was expected to meet Chen, Barrows, Lima, O’Connor and the delegation at which time they “were transferred by air conditioned coach tour to the reserved Sunworld Dynasty Bei-jing,” one of the “top 3-Star Rated Hotels in Asia.”

The delegation also has a formal meet-ing in Beijing with China’s Ministry of Railways Planning Director Zhang Jian-ping.

Last August, a high-speed train acci-dent in Wenzhou, China killed more than 40 people and Zhang was at the center of a firestorm about how the Communist government officials handled the tragedy. The Wall Street Journal reported after the deadly crash government “censors silenced the news media’s dogged reporting on rail-way negligence and corruption, then start-ing censoring posts on micro blogs that has stoked outrage over the crash.”

Another meeting slated included a visit with Ida Peng, Executive Director of the American Rail Working Group at the Unit-ed States Embassy in Beijing.

On Tuesday they arrived in Tianjin, China via a high speed train for a meeting and a tour of the Tianjin Economic Devel-opment Area, and a visit with Cloud Com-puter Base Company.

On Wednesday the Delegation whisked off to Shanghai for a planned morning meeting with officials from SAIC Motor Corporation, Ltd. In the afternoon, accord-ing to published travel plans “will have a Huangpu River cruise and will view of the

Water Front in Shanghai.”Chen, Barrows and the group were

slated to meet with the Shanghai Maglev Transportation Development Corporation. Barrows has been a staunch advocate of bringing a magnetic type train to Cerritos for the past two decades and has travelled extensively to Europe and Asian promoting the cause.

The group also planned to sit down and talk with Douglas Dong, from the Shanghai Foreign Investment Board and Overseas Investment Development, which is a sub-sidiary of Shanghai Municipal Commission of Commerce.

On Friday, the group is expected to be in Tokyo, Japan, for a visit to the JR Central Shinkansen Control Center that oversees operation of that nation’s complex “bullet train” system.

The delegation also had a meeting planned with the Ministry of Land, Industry and Tourism as well as meeting with JR East, and or JR Central real estate division to discuss rail station development.

In a statement to Los Cerritos Commu-nity Newspaper, Chen said that “the delega-tion will experience and study the various modes of high speed rail technology includ-ing the bullet train, high speed trains and maglev as a basis of comparison to deter-mine the best alternatives for implantation in California.”

Chen points out that “the trade mission was made possible by the collaboration of SCAG and Community Partners/Ver-deXchange Institute.” She also said that “individuals who are not government of-ficials will be paying their own expenses.” But according to SCAG officials, at least $10,000 was approved to cover the ex-penses of Barrows and Santa Monica Coun-cilwoman O’Connor for the trip during a Mar. 1st meeting of the Board of Directors of SCAG.

Cerritos City Manager Art Gallucci was scheduled to attend the excursion, but de-cided not to attend at the last minute.

Artesia City Manger Maria Dadian con-firmed to LCCN that “no city funds from Artesia was used” towards the cost associ-ated with Councilman Lima. “As far as I

know, Councilman Lima paid his own way and own expenses and that no city funds from Artesia were utilized.”

Glendale City Councilman Frank Quintero, who is the President of the Or-ange Line Development Authority told Los Cerritos Community News in a state-ment on Wednesday afternoon through city public information officer Tom Lorenz that “Frank was asked by SCAG if he was interested to attend as a representative from Orangeline.”

“Frank initially was interested, but made no plans to attend this particular trip,” Lorenz said.

“Frank Quintero did say he has never had the opportunity to make the trip, but would find it valuable to see their op-eration. He also mentioned, that if he did make plans on attending in the future, he wouldn't necessarily travel on SCAG funds,” Lorenz said.

ment between the city and Office Team for Human Resources Personnel.

City Administrator Ernesto Marquez re-ported to the council that the City has con-tracted with Office Team to provide human resources personal while the Human Re-sources Manager position has been vacant. The current agreement was entered into in Oct. 5, 2011, pursuant to the authority of the City Administrator, which was capped at $35,000 annually. He said the position is still open, which will require the services of Office Team to continue until it is filled.

programs traditionally handled by the state. He cited its “non-violent” prisoners” as an example. “We’ve already received more than 5,000 prisoner that have been released into our communities,” he asserted. “This is the State’s way of balancing its budget.”

He asked how this impacts us? There are safety concerns, the state promised to send only non-violent offenders. One pris-oner was sent to us on Jan. 2, two weeks later he shot and killed a 17 year old out-side one of our probation offices. The state also promised to send us money. “Pardon me for being a little skeptical, in the first three months, we are predicting that they are already $7 million behind this year alone.” Knabe went on to say that more county money will be spent on the prison-

ers, which is money that will not be going to other services the people of Los Angeles County expect.

He said the bottom line is the County should not be the safety net for a State Government that can’t balance its own budget. “On a similar note, last month marked the official shut down of all com-munity redevelopment agencies in Califor-nia. ”Boy is this going to be a mess,” he exclaimed. “Redevelopment agencies have been around for decades to give communi-ties a chance to reinvent themselves. There was also a 20 percent set-aside for afford-able and senior housing. In many cities it worked and transformed communities. In fact,” he said, “the Fourth District had the most RDA’s in Los Angeles County, that for many resulted in new jobs, services and increased property and sales tax revenues for the city, county and state.

“Let’s be honest,” he stated. “This wasn’t an effort by the state and the gov-ernor to clean up redevelopment. This was one more attempt by the state to balance its budget on the back of local government. This wasn’t an effort by the state and the governor to clean up redevelopment. As with the move of state prisoners to county jails, this is one more attempt by the state to balance its budget on the back of gov-ernment.

“If you have a problem, fix it. Don’t blow up the whole thing!” He stated.RE-ELECTION

The Supervisor concluded by announc-ing he was running for re-election this year. “It will be my final term. I learned a few weeks ago at the filing deadline, that I will be running unopposed. I am deeply hum-bled by that.” He concluded by saying he loved his job. “I get to focus on real people and real problems, rather than blueberries and mountain lions. I don’t get held up by partisan politics and caucus leaders telling me how to vote.”

He continued, “While managing the nation’s largest County – what would be the ninth largest state in America – is not always a picnic, when I see people strug-gling to keep their business open or pound-ing the pavement to get a job. I know that I can make a difference in their lives. I am grateful for the opportunity to serve you and I thank you for the support you have given me.”

La Mirada High School Student Dies from Gunshot Wound

By Randy Economy

Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Ho-micide Bureau detectives are continuing their investigation into the circumstances surrounding the shooting death of a male Hispanic juvenile, which occurred this past Sunday night on the 13200 block of Duf-Sunday night on the 13200 block of Duf-Sunday night on the 13200 block of Duffield Avenue, La Mirada.

Sergio Martinez, a 16 year student from La Mirada High School has been identified as the victim of the crime.

Detectives said that Martinez was stand-ing in the driveway of his residence when several unknown suspects approached him on foot, and fired several rounds at him, striking him once in the upper torso.

Martinez was transported to a local hospital where he passed away from his injuries.

His death is the second in two weeks from students who attend Norwalk-La Mirada Unified School District Schools.

There is no suspect information avail-able at this time, but in a statement on Monday morning the “shooting is believed to be gang related.”

Natalie Sanchez, Student Board Rep-resentative on NLMUSD District Board of Education, and the current Student Body President at La Mirada High School said in an interview that Martinez was a “shy per-son” who had “a great sense of humor.”

“We are very sad that this happened, he was too young to die,” she said.

School Board President Darryl Adams said that it is a “tremendous loss to the community and most particularly to Ser-gio’s family.”

When asked how this affects him as president of the school board, he said “we see our kids for 18 years, and we have seen a lot of them struck down too early.”

“I have seen way too many of our stu-dents lose their lives, “Adams said.

Another student from Norwalk High School was killed earlier this school year after being stabbed while walking home from school.

Funeral services are pending, and a Memorial page was established in Sergio’s honor on Facebook.

Anyone with information about this incident is encouraged to contact the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department Ho-micide Bureau at (323) 890-5500.

Two schools in the Norwalk-La Mirada Unified School District have lots of new bragging rights after being named “California Distin-guished Schools” for 2012 this past week.

Eastwood Elementary School in La Mirada and Julia Morrison Elementary School in Norwalk have both been honored by the California Department of Education and can now offi-cially be touted as “one of the best schools in California.”

The California School Recognition Program identifies and honors the Golden States “most exemplary and inspiring pub-lic schools” with the California Distin-guished School Award.

State Superintendent of Public Instruc-tion Tom Torlakson said in a statement last week that 387 exemplary California public elementary schools made the final list for “their innovative education programs that encourage students to learn and help close the achievement gap.”

"The schools we are recognizing today demonstrate the incredible commitment of California's teachers, administrators, and

school employees to provide a world-class education to every student, in spite of the financial hardships facing our state and

our schools," Torlakson said. "Their dedication is in-

spiring, and I applaud and admire their passion and persistence," Torlakson said.

“Under the direction of Yvette Cantu and her staff, Eastwood’s API scores increased by 65

points in the past four years and the school’s API

growth for 2011-12 was 29 points, taking them to an overall

API score of 903. State officials were also impressed with the API growth for English Language Learners was increased by 45 points,” said Norwalk-La Mirada Unified School Superintendent Dr. Ruth Perez, EdD.

Eastwood Elementary School officials said they have a “strong commitment” to two complementary signature practices, including a balanced literacy program and Systematic English Language Development in an instruction is based on the gradual re-lease of responsibility for reading, writing, listening, and speaking to the student after much support from the teacher.

“Responding to current student data is critical to both signature practices. The use of effective questioning strategies and accountable talking techniques serve to strengthen the practices,” district officials stated.

“A print rich classroom environment, expansive literacy resources and class-room libraries are also essential parts of

the instructional program. Implementa-tion of these practices has resulted in in-creased student achievement, especially for students who are economically disad-vantaged, Hispanic/Latino, and English Language Learners. “

At Morrison Elementary School, un-der the direction of Principal Rudy Gon-zalez and his staff, Morrison has seen its API steadily increase from 599 in 2001 to 856 in 2011 for an increase of 257 points in 10 years. Morrison’s API for English Language Learners is 851, thus closing the achievement gap and meeting the goal.

“Morrison Elementary School has a strong commitment to two signature prac-tices: a school wide music program and effective English Language Development/Academic Language Development Strate-gies. Implementation of these practices has resulted in increased student achievement,” Gonzalez said.

“Especially for students who are eco-nomically disadvantaged, Hispanic/Latino, disabled, and English Language Learners. Innovative technology supported by the 21st Century Learning Pilot (MIT) pro-gram, focused staff development, expan-sive literacy resources, classroom libraries, and an extensive inventory of instruments, are essential parts of the instructional pro-gram.

Both schools will be receiving their awards in a ceremony at a later date.

‘California Distinguished Schools’ for 2012

State Superintendent of Public Instruc-tion Tom Torlakson announced on March 29 the names of public elementary schools named 2012 California Distinguished Schools. Four schools in the ABC Uni-fied School District were selected among the exemplary schools for their innovative education programs. They include Carver Academy, Stowers Magnet School of Inter-national Studies and Wittmann Elementary School. and Kennedy Elementary School.

The 2012 California Distinguished Schools Program identifies and honors those schools that have demonstrated edu-cational excellence for all students and progress in narrowing the achievement gap. Schools must meet a variety of eligibility criteria including designated federal and state accountability measures. The process

consists of a written application which in-cludes a comprehensive description of two of the school’s signature practices and fol-lowed by a county-led site validation re-view process validating the implementation of those signature practices.

Dr. Mary Sieu, Deputy Superintendent, said this is the first time that two magnet schools, Carver Academy and Stowers Magnet School of International Studies as well as Kennedy Elementary School earned the Distinguished School title. The four schools will be recognized at an awards luncheon held on May 3rd in the City of In-dustry and which time State Superintendent Torlakson will present each school with a 2012 Distinguished School plaque and flag. There were 387 elementary schools in Cali-fornia selected for this title this year.

By Loren Kopff

The sense of urgency to get a win was growing and growing for head coach Chris Aquino and his Cerritos baseball team. The Dons were mired in a five-game losing streak and had only two wins on the season.

With eight more Suburban League games remaining as Cerritos visited Artesia this past Tuesday, that margin for error was shrinking. But the Dons scored four runs in the top of the third inning and held on for

a 6-3 victory. Cerritos (3-13 overall, 1-4 in league) also snapped Artesia’s three-game winning streak.

“We were trying to get our first [league] win just to be able to compete in league and try to get to the playoffs,” Aquino said. “This is the one we really needed. We’re trying to beat the teams we can beat and try-ing to compete with the other teams. That’s what our goal is right now.”

The Pioneers (4-9, 0-3) grabbed a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the first when senior shortstop Cesar Soto reached on an error

and later landed at third on another error. He would come home on a sacrifice fly from se-nior pitcher Gary Smith. But the Dons finally found a way to get to Smith the second time through the lineup. After Smith faced two over the minimum through the first three in-nings, he faced nine in the fourth, giving up three hits and hitting a pair of batters.

Senior shortstop Jonathan Mura was safe on an infield hit and junior designated player J.T. Mars was hit by a pitch. Two outs later, the bases were loaded after freshman right fielder Jacob Carter was hit by a pitch. That set the stage for senior first baseman Kevin Anderson who cleared the bases with a deep double to the left field fence. Ander-son would then score on an error after senior pitcher Brian Diaz singled.

“What I saw the first time through the lineup was they were getting that pitch away,” Aquino said. “I told every guy to crowd the dish because [the umpire] wasn’t calling the pitches in. The away pitches turned into fastballs down the middle and they started making contact.”

“We didn’t come ready to play,” said Ar-tesia head coach Michael Gaoghagan. “The last few games, we figured out the defense and took care of it. Today, we were horrible defensively. We weren’t doing our jobs. We can’t take anyone for granted; we’re not good enough to take teams for granted. If they didn’t realize that before, they certainly do now.”

Artesia cut its deficit in half in the fifth inning when junior left fielder Jeremy Gaskin had an infield single and stole a pair

of bases before coming home when Soto was safe on another error. In the next inning, Gaskin’s bases loaded sacrifice fly to cen-ter plated sophomore third baseman Cesar Esparza.

But with the tying run still in scoring position, Diaz got Soto to fly out to cen-ter, then needed 11 pitches to finish off the seventh for his first complete game of the season. Diaz threw 101 pitches and gave up one earned run.

“He threw marvelous,” Aquino said. “He threw strikes, he competed every single pitch and nothing fazes him. He stepped into the role as a starter and has wanted that op-portunity. Now he’s capitalizing on it. This kid is one special kid.”

Cerritos added a pair of unearned insur-ance runs in the seventh. Junior catcher Jake Liang reached on an error and scored on a wild pitch while Carter struck out but was safe on a wild pitch and later scored on yet another wild pitch.

Artesia will spend the upcoming spring break participating in the St. Paul Easter Baseball Tournament with its first game on Saturday against Oak Park. After their home game with the Pioneers on Apr. 5, the Dons will be off until they visit league-leading Mayfair on Apr. 18.

“I told the kids after the game that we’re trying to use this as momentum as we get ready for Mayfair,” Aquino said. “Hope-fully we’ll get the job done on Thursday and carry it over and send a message to the league that we’re here to compete and not just be the doormats of the league.”

CONFIDENT NORWALK READY TO PLAY BUT STILL FALLS TO LA MIRADABy Loren Kopff

Two days after being embarrassed by La Mirada in its Suburban League opener Norwalk came to play last Friday and was on the verge of earning a season series split. But a valiant effort in the middle of the game went for naught and the Matado-res squeaked out a 3-2 victory.

Unlike the 11-0 setback 48 hours ear-lier on La Mirada’s field, Norwalk rode the arm of freshman pitcher Lulu Vasquez, who gave up two earned runs and was a strike away from getting out of the top of the third unscathed.

“I think we saw our weakest point [on Wednesday],” said Norwalk first-year head coach Jason Reyes. “We weren’t going to let that defeat us [today]. We realized that our weakest point is something that we can control.”

“They didn’t hit the ball any better,” said La Mirada head coach Rich Trujillo. “They made some nice defensive plays. We kept hitting the ball, we didn’t strike out, then they got a little confidence. The game got close late and all of a sudden, they were in the game. I take my hats to Norwalk. They came in and they were ready. They’re

well-coached and they’re going to do well. They’re a young team and they’re going to be good in the future.”

The Lady Lancers drew first blood in the bottom of the first when Vasquez sin-gled to center and eventually had the bas-es loaded off of La Mirada senior starter Ambar Hickman. With two outs, Vasquez came home on a throwing error but Hick-man retired 10 of the next 13 batters after that. Meanwhile, La Mirada tied the contest in the top of the second when junior short-stop Mercedes Gasparovic was safe on an error and later came home on a single from junior third baseman Lindsey Cole.

“One thing I preach at practice is confi-dence,” Reyes said. “Confidence is every-thing. That’s what these girls are lacking. We saw it here. We had bases loaded in the first inning against La Mirada. That’s con-fidence right there.”

Vasquez retired the first two batters she faced in the next inning but yielded a single to senior catcher Lisa Perez, then a double to sophomore designated player Annie Dipillo on a full count, plus three extra foul balls. That was followed by a run scoring double from senior first baseman Rochelle Sablay on a 0-2 count. After that double, La Mirada got three hits the rest of

the way.“She kept the ball low and [our hitters]

were trying to pull them,” Trujillo said of Vasquez. “She mixed her speeds up pretty good. We never got a chance to really push it a little bit. If we got one or two more runs, then we would have been pushing the ball all over the place.”

The Lady Lancers finally chased Hick-man from the circle when senior third baseman Ilene Vasquez led off the fifth with a first pitch double down the third base line. Senior pitcher Jenevie Rivas re-placed Hickman and was also greeted with a double, this one from freshman second baseman Jazmin Guzman. Lulu Vasquez reached on an error and the hosts were looking good with runners at second and third with none out.

But Rivas got sophomore shortstop Jennifer Vasquez to line out to Cole fol-lowed by a pair of groundouts.

Norwalk had one last chance to tie the game in the seventh when Lulu Vasquez singled with two outs and made her way to third on another error. But sophomore designated player Samantha Lujan struck out to end the threat and push La Mirada’s record over Norwalk to 25-3 since 1999.

“La Mirada is a great hitting team,”

Reyes said. “Their [number] three and four hitters are pretty much unstoppable. With that aside, everyone on their team is ca-pable of striking out.”

Dipillo went three for three while Cole and Perez each collected a pair of hits. Hickman won for the sixth time but has only gone the distance once this season. In 11 of the team’s 12 games, Trujillo has made a pitching change involving Hick-man and Rivas.

“The philosophy is to just show [op-ponents] a different look,” Trujillo said. “Ambar has speed and Jenevie comes in and flutters. [Opponents] have a tough time making adjustments sometimes, especially the good hitters.”

La Mirada faced John Glenn this past week before heading up the coast for the Arroyo Grande Softball by the Beach Tournament. Guzman went three for four for Norwalk while junior catcher Crys-tal Cano and Lulu Vasquez each had two hits. The Lady Lancers, who split a pair of games last Saturday in the Whittier Tour-nament, had Bellflower this past week and will open the Woodbridge Tournament on Saturday against Mission Viejo in the first of five games to be played in that presti-gious event over eight days.

IRVINE - The youth movement hasn’t gone as well as Gahr head coach Mike Rogers would have liked but the Gladia-tors found a brief silver lining last Satur-day in the Timberwolf Classic, hosted by Northwood High. Senior pitcher Maya Va-rela scattered four hits and Gahr snapped a six-game losing streak with a 4-0 win over Laguna Hills at Bill Barber Park.

The numbers this season hasn’t been pretty for the Gladiators, who won for just the second time. Entering the Laguna Hills game, Gahr had scored 20 runs through the first 11 contests. But a three-run first inning brought a smile to Rogers as he’s building a program that currently has five freshmen, two sophomores, two juniors and six se-niors.

“It was a great win,” Rogers said. “What I liked was Maya had good command of her pitches out there. Our defense was pretty sound and when you don’t make errors and you put the ball in play and you put pres-sure on [the opponent’s] defense by bunting

and hitting and reading the defense, you’re going to win games.”

After Varela needed nine pitches to work through the top of the first, she immediate-ly got all of the support she needed when freshman shortstop Deja Portillo reached on an infield single and moved to second on a passed ball. Senior center fielder Al-yssa Nava would then strike out but was still safe at first when the ball went past the Laguna Hills catcher. Portillo would score all the way from second on that play. After another strikeout, freshman first baseman Celeste Gonzalez would also be safe on an infield knock and after a sacrifice bunt from freshman third baseman Vanessa Mon-tanez, Nava and Gonzalez would score on a throwing error that allowed sophomore second baseman Erica Balboa to be safe at second.

After allowing a single to begin the top of the second, Varela sat down 12 of the next 13 batters she faced. Only one Laguna Hills batter reached third and Varela was aided with three line drive outs and a pair of foul territory pop-up outs that were hauled in from senior catcher Krystal Purkey. The final run scored came in the third when Pur-key drilled a triple to the right field gap and

was replaced by freshman courtesy runner Klarice Rios, who touched the plate after a sacrifice from Gonzalez.

All six hits Gahr got were from six dif-ferent players but the offense has been sput-tering all season long. The team was batting .239 entering its San Gabriel Valley League opener against Paramount this past Tues-day and only Montanez (.444, five runs bat-ted in) and Gonzalez (.379, five RBI) have accounted for 38 percent of the teams’ hits thus far.

“Both of them are just pure hitters,” Rogers said. “They both like to compete. I’m impressed with them. They work hard in practice and it’s not a secret that they’re doing it in the games. They invest a lot of time in their hitting.”

Earlier in the day, Gahr was blasted by Cathedral Catholic 9-0 as the Dons belted three home runs as part of their eight hits. Cathedral Catholic put the game away with six runs in the bottom of the fifth. The Gladiators mustered only two hits from Gonzalez and one from Nava.

“When you’re building a whole new team, bringing up your junior varsity [play-ers] and freshmen, it’s a lot tougher to mend than I anticipated,” Rogers said. “But

GAHR SOFTBALL ENDS SIX-GAME SLIDE, BLANKS LAGUNA HILLS

VALLEY CHRISTIAN’S KORVER WINS THREE-POINT SHOOTING EVENTBy Loren Kopff

Kari Korver may not have played one minute during her senior season at Valley Christian but she is a champion in a dif-ferent way for the 2011-2012 season. The UCLA-bound Korver won the American Family Insurance High School Slam Dunk and 3-Point Championship by beating out seven other girls in the perimeter shooting portion of the event.

Korver defeated Harvard-bound Shilpa Tummala 19-11 in the final round last Fri-day at the Alario Center in New Orleans to win the event.

“It was just a lot of fun,” Korver said. “It was a cool blessing. It was just a good time being out there. I had never been to New Orleans. I was hanging out with my brother [Kurtis] the whole time I was there.”

Korver arrived in the Crescent City last

Thursday afternoon and attended the college version of the three-point competition that night. Last Saturday, Korver walked up and down the famed Bourbon Street with her brother Kurtis, a former V.C. basketball star from 2004-2008. Korver came home this past Sunday morning in time to see the tape delayed event on CBS that afternoon.

Korver was one of four participants to advance to the semifinals where she posted 18 points. She was shooting four balls worth one point each and a “money ball” worth two points each from five different locations behind the three-point arc. A maximum of 30 points could be earned in each round.

“I was nervous after the first round be-cause I was the second group [out of four] to go and in groups of two,” Korver said. “Someone had [a score of 16] and there was another girl who had a higher score than me. I was nervous that I wasn’t going to make it

to the second round.”In the final round, Korver watched Tum-

mala score 11 points and said she knew she was capable of getting more than 11 points but wasn’t totally sure that she would. The one drawback for Korver when she was in New Orleans was the fact that there was no mention of what high school she attends or where she’s from. And even though she won the event, Korver still wished she could play for the Lady Crusaders her senior season. Korver tore her ACL last summer and was relegated to watching every game from the sidelines.

“I wouldn’t say that [winning the com-petition] totally makes up for it just because playing the game is what I love to do,” Kor-ver said. “I don’t like to just shoot three’s. It was really a cool opportunity and it gave me something exciting to look forward to for about a month.”

they’re good kids and they’re going to bat-tle. A lot of schools have freshmen but we have a lot of freshmen and sophomores.”

After a 4-0 loss to Paramount, Gahr sits at 2-11 and will be off until it hosts West Torrance on Wednesday in a doubleheader.

Dr. Urban on Today’s Dentistry

Be offensive about cavitiesDentists are taught the skills to repair,

extract and/or replace teeth afflicted with cavities. It seems like dentists are always one step behind the forces that cause decay. I have been a dentist for a long time and have recommended brushing twice daily, watch sugar intake, and to visit your dentist on a regular basis to detect any decay. Current research suggests this may not be adequate for a lot of us.

Research shows that dental decay is a chronic disease and that it is a result of individual behavioral patterns. We know of 32 types of bacteria that cause cavities. These bacteria thrive when the mouth saliva is acidic or at a low pH level. Behavioral effects range from how sugar is consumed, how effective we brush, how medications

alter the mouth, how we respond to bacteria and how we utilize proper home remedies.

Recently, I had the privilege to listen to Dr. Brian Novy’s presentation on seeking out and destroying decay. Dr. Novy has a very nice way (it was a soft hammer) of debunking conventional methods of fighting decay.

Let’s look at his approach to fighting decay. If you are not suffering from new cavities at your dental checkups this approach may not apply. Everyone else should keep reading.

Diet low in sugary foods is still a wise choice. Foods rich in arginine (soy, spinach, seafood, and nuts, sunflower seeds, raisins, almonds, barley, cashews, etc) help neutralize certain acid forming bacteria. The “bad” (decay causing) bacteria is acid tolerant and will produce new bacteria that produce acid.

Brush with baking soda. If the taste is unpleasant add a little dollop of toothpaste to the brush and dip it into baking soda. Baking soda will promote a more neutral

saliva pH that will select against bad bacteria.

Gum chewers start using Ice Breakers Ice Cubes by Hershey or Trident Xtra Care. Chew 6 pieces a day until the sweetness is gone. The sweetness is xylitol that is not metabolized by decay causing bacteria.

Glylic is isolated from licorice root and it has antimicrobial effects on bad bacteria. These lollipops can be found on www.drjohns.com.

There are other products that your dentist should be able to supply to you if your decay rate is through the roof. Our efforts are to help all children and adults become decay free and prevent the devastation that ruins a good set of teeth.
