There’s something new and exciting happening on the Cerritos Col-lege Campus. It’s called

Northwood University, where students can obtain a Bachelor Degree in Business Administra-tion or an Automotive Business Administrative Degree.

“What makes it unique,” said Todd Leutheuser, Executive Di-rector of Southland Motor Car Dealers Association, sponsors of the program, “is students can obtain the degree while living at home, going to work everyday or as a full-time student.” He added, “We hope by the end of the 2009-2010 school year to have between 150 to 200 students enrolled.”

The program permits students who may already have their asso-ciate degree, the opportunity of not moving on to another campus to complete their education. They

Saturday afternoon on a center stage set up on the east side of the field that included a magic act, folklorico danc-ers, and more, while volunteers walked the track. Later that evening participants gathered together to participate in a Luminary Service in remembrance of those that had succumbed to Cancer and to celebrate those who had survived their battle with the dreaded disease. The group “International Peace Choir” sang several songs, setting the mood for the evening ceremony.

As the stadium lights dimmed a Luminary Walk was held following lights that had been lit and placed around the perimeter of the field with the names of those who were no longer with us, while a lone bagpipe played Amazing Grace.

OPINION/GUEST COLUMNS/LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Econo-My-Scene: We are Fed Up with You, Sacramento!By Randy Economy

This past Tuesday, we, the People of California put the Do-Nothing Politicians of Sacramento on “official notice.”

You either fix the fiscal crisis here in California, or we will kick you out of of-fice.

We are sick of the mess you created, and sick of the job you are doing on our behalf.

We are sick of you being controlled by Special Interest groups and Greedy Union Bosses who line your pockets with Mil-

lions upon Millions of campaign dollars each and every year.

We are mad as hell. We will stop you from digging us into

a deeper fiscal hole, trust me on this one. This election was about stopping your

spending and borrowing madness and your self-loathing hypocrisy.

We are watching your every move on the California Channel, each and every day.

We see how you try to get special in-terest legislation passed in the Assembly and Senate Committee Hearing Rooms, and on the Floor of the Capitol.

We see how inept you are when ques-tioned in Committee Hearings about leg-islation that carries your name. You are clueless about your own legislative bills, because they are written by the special in-terest that will benefit from their passage.

We understand that you are treated like royalty when you arrive each and every day for work at the State Capitol and in your District. You have your dry cleaning picked up by your paid staff members, and if your lawn needs to be mowed, viola, it is done for you.

We understand that you have drivers, and staff members that cater to your every wish. We understand that when you get off of an airplane at LAX that you are es-

corted through “private” and secure doors to avoid those of us who pay your massive salary of more than $140,000.00 per year.

We understand that we pay Billions of real dollars each year, every year, for Public Retirement Funds for lousy teach-ers who cannot teach the basics to our chil-dren, and whom cannot be fired at will.

Around 90% of the laws in Sacramento are “written and sponsored” by some trade union lobbyist, or some special interest at-torney, whose only objective is to protect their own “turf” and their “own” empire.

Every night, these “faceless” lobbyist line your pockets full of campaign cash at lavish Sacramento fundraisers that cost $3,200 a person to attend…for the honor of shaking your hand. Yuck. Pass me the Hand Sanitizer.

This election was about stopping you from totally destroying the California Dream.

I want to make sure that our local City Managers, Chuck Fuentes from Pico Ri-vera, Ernie Garcia from Norwalk, Art Gal-lucci from Cerritos, Maria Dadian from Artesia, and Ernesto Marquez, from Ha-waiian Gardens, DEMAND to keep your paws off of our local city reserves.

Governor Taxinator is threatening to take away all of our local city’s reserves

in order to bail out your mismanagement of California.

Our local City Managers, and local City Council Members, and School Dis-trict officials need to stop being polite to you in Sacramento. They need to stop gushing over you when you show up at a Civic event or at a public meeting. They need to stop handing out Proclamations praising your service and start demanding accountability, once and for all.

This election was about saying No to our current broken system.Sacramento will change. The Revolution has begun. The People are watching your every move.

Our CountryOn the Road Again-Chihuly to EmilyBy Dr. Bob Hughlett

If you haven’t met and befriended a saguaro cactus you have missed quite an opportunity. These quite stately look-ing guys can range upward of 75 feet tall (usually not until they reach the age of 175 years) but are supported by a huge root sys-tem which lies no more than 3 inch-es below the ground yet is able to soak in as much as 100 gallons of water in a single rain. Birds nest in them, but-terflies and other assort-ed winged bugs enjoy their blossoms and numer-ous varmints live in burrows their shade provides. During our leisurely 8 mile drive through the park we were met with flora and one of us, fauna from all direc-tions – with the exception of the roadrun-ners which Maynard has proclaimed to be mythic since he has never seen one. Upon exiting the park I was able to buy a lifetime Senior Pass to any National Park for ten bucks just because I’m really old but was considerably disheartened when veteran Ranger Rita answered my inquiry of “Do you want to see my license for proof of age?” with “Naw, your face is all you need”.

Next it’s off on our next adventure as we close in on the Carlsbad Caverns and points north thereafter. We look for-ward to interacting with stalactites, heli-

ctites (look it up) stalagmites and golf at the White Sands Testing Grounds 11 hole course. Maybe we’ll find out why it’s only 11 holes – but, then again, maybe we don’t really want to know.

The Mission San Xavier del Bac is near Tucson in miles but centuries away in time. A restoration project that appears to have run out of money half way through, the proud church sits on a lonely knoll but flourishes with life. There is a parish school devoted primarily to Native Ameri-cans and a very dry hillock just next door where they placed their snowy white cross for all to see. Venturing to see the cross I did stumble across my first road runner who scooted off before Maynard could appear on scene with camera locked and loaded. After our required Katshina doll tax free (not a bad idea – maybe California can try that) purchases from the gift shop and hot dill and spicy pickles from the snack bar we were heading to the car when we heard and saw the approach of a proces-sional of locals being led by a modern day medicine man. The group slowly intoned as they marched into the mission under a chant and rattle from the leader which was quite distinctive. “One of our members has breast cancer”, reported a tribal mem-ber, “and we are asking St. Xavier for his help”. Quite a poignant and unexpected turn to our journey – and the first of many, we were to learn.

Down the road we came across a fas-cinating place – Kartchner Caverns State Park. George and Amy had named this place a “must see” in preparation for the caverns

of Carlsbad. The place was discov-ered years ago by two geology stu-dents from nearby Ari-zona Uni-versity but they kept the place secret for a dozen years for fear of the l i k e l i h o o d

that it would be vandal-

ized or worse if opened to the public be-fore the proper security measures could be put in place. Unlike Carlsbad, Kartchner is a “closed system” cave with very lim-ited exchange of surface air that results in high temperatures (approx 90 degrees) and higher yet humidity (approx 95 percent). The tradeoff for the uncomfortable atmo-sphere was the opportunity to see natural wonders that occur in places only frequent-ed by cavers. Wonders? Well we all know about stalactites hanging from the ceiling and stalagmites growing from the ground but how about helictites – these little dudes grow sideways in apparent disregard for gravity, common sense and explanation by the Rangers. A highlight of our trip was precocious Emily, a 4 year old who, as most 4 year olds will, quickly realized that

Dear Editor:The stark contrast between our frenzied

reaction to unfamiliar hazards andour reckless tolerance of familiar ones nev-er ceases to amaze me.

The current incidence of swine flu, which killed five Americans, has captured the headlines, cancelled public events, and closed dozens of schools. At the same time, we have blithely continued our consump-tion of meat and dairy products, which has been linked conclusively with elevated risk of heart disease, stroke, cancer, diabetes, and other chronic diseases that kill 1.3 mil-lion Americans annually.

But it’s not just about chronic diseases. According to the United Nations,animal agriculture is responsible for 18 percent of greenhouse gas emissions, lead-ing to catastrophic floods, droughts, and sea level rises, which threaten human sur-vival. It uses more fresh water and dumps more deadly wastes into our water supplies than all other human activities combined.

Each of us has a shared responsibility for our society’s health and welfare.The best time to exercise this responsibility is on our next trip to thesupermarket, where we can explore the rich variety of meat-free and dairy-free ready-to-eat frozen dinners, veggie burgers and dogs, lunch “meats,” and plant-based cheese, ice cream, and milk. Helpful tran-sition hints and recipes galore are available at www.tryveg.org and www.chooseveg.org.

Plea For HelpEditor’s Note: A grieving grandmother wrote this letter. Her grandson, Jona-than, was shot to death on August 20, 2008.

My grandson was shot to death in Artesia while riding his bicycle on Pioneer Boulevard under the 91 Freeway overpass. The “murder” is still at large. Jonathan was only 17 years old.

Our family is so grieved and devas-tated at this senseless crime of an inno-cent 17-year-old boy who never harmed anyone. We miss our child so much. He is never out of our mind.

I hope the good people of our area who wish to get this murder off our streets would help generate a reward to apprehend this monster. If our good citizens wish to add to a reward, which the City of Cerritos has extended to this cause, a Memorial Fund has been established at Wells Fargo Bank, 18712 Gridley Road in Cerritos.

The Account Number is 9117245077. The bank can be reached by dialing [562] 924-1616. The title of the Fund is the Jonathan J. Muse Memorial Fund.

If everyone would make a contribu-tion, no matter how small, we could generate a large amount for a reward to anyone who gave the police information to the capture and conviction of the killer. Donors may remain anonymous.

Please help so this murderer will be brought to justice. Jonathan was shot twice in his heart and left to die on the street entangled in his bicycle. Please help us to find closure and put this mur-derer in jail so he can’t kill again.

We thank you for your support in this endeavor.

Thank you sincerely, Jonathan’s Family

Amazing Students

Amazing Local Students

I am an English teacher at Whitney High School. My eighth grade students recently completed a service project where they were required to devise a way to help a local charity. The charity the stu-dents chose was Orangewood Children's Home, a home for children who have been removed from their families and put into foster care.

The eighth graders decided that they wanted to raise money to give scholar-ships to the children who have aged-out of the system and are on their own for further education. So they embarked on a mission to raise $1,000. Nine fundraisers later, they ended up raising over $2,300! They are rightly proud of what they are doing and I wanted to share it with you. They have described the project in their own words at the following website: http://groups.google.com/group/whs-or-angewood-fundraiser. On Tuesday, March 12, they presented the check to a repre-sentative of the Orangewood Children's Foundation (who is responsible for the scholarships),

Dr. Urban on Today’s DentistryDietary Influences on Teeth

In previous articles I have discussed the worn dentition. What are the dietary influences on tooth longevity?

Teeth age along with the rest of the body, but I have seen teeth prematurely wear out for many reasons. Some teeth are diseased or traumatically damaged while others simply erode away. Let’s look at tooth erosion.

Tooth enamel is the hardest substance in the body. The next hardest is bone. It changes during a lifetime. Tooth enamel formation is completed by the time it comes into the mouth. The enamel shell will become hardened and polished due to wear. It will chip and crack, wear and erode, and possibly decay. Unlike bone the tooth enamel will not grow back on its own once it has eroded.

Signs of erosion include hypersensitiv-ity, dimples in the chewing surface of back teeth, cupping of the leading edges of your front teeth, shortening of the length, wear on non-functional areas of teeth, increased translucency of front teeth, loss of surface texture and a smooth glazed appearance to the tooth surface.

Chemical erosion can occur from gas-tro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD) or eating disorders (Bulimia or Anorexia). More commonly chemical erosion occurs from the foods we eat. Cola drinks, carbon-ated sodas, grapefruit juice, apple juice, or-ange juice, lemonades, raisins, dried apri-cots, and pickles have all been shown to have moderate to severe erosive potential.

I enjoy consuming all of the items list-ed above and do not suggest to eliminate or change your diet dramatically. However, if the adult male drinks an average of 8.6 cans of soda a week then it is wise to not sip the sodas and constantly bathe the teeth for long periods of time. It is best to wash out the soda with a glass of water afterwards. If children are attached to sippy cups don’t fill them with fruit juice. Milk is a better choice and has a low erosive effect on their teeth. Remember that it is the frequency of exposure that matters.

Home remedies include use of tooth-

pastes with fluoride additives. Some tooth-pastes (Sensodyne ProNamel) are formu-lated to recharge the tooth surface with fluoride to make it less affected by chemi-cal erosion. These are available over the counter. Other toothpastes actually restore the calcium content and harden soft spots or early cavities. Presently, these denti-frices (Recaldent and MI paste) can only be purchased through your dental office and are more expensive than your regular toothpastes. However, I do believe that in the long run the cost savings will be tre-mendous.

For those of us who have “weak” teeth it is especially prudent to consider what we can do to make them stronger and what we can do to prevent weak or susceptible teeth from erosion. Likewise, for people who have had appreciable dental work performed it is imperative to prevent our dental work from failing due to breakdown and leakage-just another form of erosion.

Being conscious of how we consume foods will prolong our good dental health.For answers to your dental questions, contact Douglas Urban, D.D.S.,Cerritos, CA 90703, 562 924-1523 or visit our web-site at DrDouglasUrban.com.

don’t have to drive down to Cal State Ful-lerton or Long Beach. They do it all here, “It’s a neat program for California, but not necessarily for other parts of the country,” Leutheuser stated.

He said there are many colleges and universi t ies that pair up with Commu-nity Colleges. This program e s t a b l i s h e s the residency requirements needed in or-der to receive a degree from N o r t h w o o d Un ive r s i t y, which in gen-eral is one-year work of study. In so many words, students earn their AA De-gree at Cerritos College, enroll at North-wood University and earn their Bachelor Degree.

Leutheuser said hopefully the student’s AA Degree has their two English classes, Algebra and History classes and some business curriculum. He said most of the students couldn’t have all of them, since they require hours of study. “We send them back to finish up the necessary accounting, business log or what I call the fundamental building blocks of that particular topic. “

Some of Northwood’s faculty teaches as Pepperdine, UCI, Claremont McKenna, and some on the Cerritos College campus. The classes are all 300-400 level courses. They are accelerated and divided up into two six weeks sessions, one night per week from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. The student gradu-ates with a fully accredited Bachelor De-gree they can take to any higher education institution in the country.

Northwood operates on the quarter System [ Fall, Winter, Spring and Sum-mer). Each quarter [term] is 12 weeks and is divided up into two-six week sessions. Classes are taught one night per week for 6 p.m. to 10 p.m.Adult Degree Program

The University is accredited, with its main campus located in Midland, Michigan. Currently it is celebrating its 50th year. The Uni-versity has three traditional cam-puses located in Texas, Florida and Michigan. It’s a business Universi-ty. In the 1980’s it adopted the Adult Degree Program that is designed for the adult learner who has an Asso-ciate Degree and a minimum of five to seven years work experience. Leutheuser said special acceptance consideration can be given if the student has relevant management work experience, works during the

day, possesses a mature nature and has most of his third year completed.

He said the auto dealers became in-volved with Northwood in the late 1960’s. The National Auto Dealers Association Board of directors decided they needed a University where they could send their sons and daughters to college and receive a fundamental education on running a dealership. Northwood University was ap-

proached and said it could develop a pro-gram. This is the only college in the Unit-ed States that offers a Bachelor Degree in automotive marketing and management.

The program is marketed through ev-ery automobiles dealer’s association in North America that includes setting up Golf Tournaments. Leutheuser said, “We have a scholarship program where we send money back to Northwood for Michi-gan students. Then someone had an idea. Could we get Northwood to come to Cali-fornia. We contacted Cerritos College and put together the curriculum.”

He said the Southland Dealers Asso-ciation has been around since 1932. It is a 77-year-old Association. In 1999 he was asked by the Dealers to look into what is going on in the community college level with an automotive program. “We weren’t necessarily looking for a Bachelor Degree program but a program where the dealers could retrain and tool up our people.”

Cerritos College has been very sup-ported of the program, he stated. The new Automotive Center currently under con-struction on the campus, upon completion, will be the most comprehensive automo-

tive training center in North America. It is a 10,000 sq. ft. facility and hopefully will be completed by February 2010. The Center will include new bays, classrooms, and labs. “It amazing what we can do col-lectively,” he said, “The Southland Dealers Association here in Angeles County has contributed $1 million toward this center.” Cerritos College has launched a campaign to raise $4.8 million from the private sec-tor to make a $15 million renovation and expansion of the current auto technology complex possible.

He said the new complex would not be a research facility, describing it as a train-ing center for managing dealerships and businesses as well as working on cars with the majority of the students being conven-tional students who want a degree in Busi-ness Management. Management Component

Asked about high school students who are not necessarily interested in a college degree but in automobile maintenance, he said there are students presently enrolled in the automotive classes who are told by their instructors that there is a management component to the program if they are inter-ested. Some realize they are halfway there and don’t want to be an automobile me-chanic all their lives. Those students will begin to track themselves. “The manage-ment path is there for them.”

Cerritos has five automotive manage-ment classes where the students get the fundamental management courses in run-ning a business, so they understand the dif-ferent component in running a business. “Students who now have their AA Degree and decide to earn their bachelor degree will know a little more than a student who didn’t take any of these classes and the in-structors get a more professional oriented student.

Cerritos College has agreements with the Southeast ROP where every day after school they have more than 100 students taking classes. They are high school juniors and seniors. Tracy High School has its en-tire class after school over here, he said, taking basic automotive classes. “Auto-mobile technology is changing so fast we have to be prepared for it, whether it is an electric powered car, hydrogen, natural gas or hybrid. We need to indoctrinate the youth [high school students] about these different technologies.

He concluded by saying this was a great opportunity for community residents and students to further their education and enter a good paying profession.

ARTESIA MASTHEAD 7/3/06 11:02 AM Page 1

Quarterly NewsletterMay 2009

Many speakers of different languages gathered and prayed around the flagpole at City Hall during the National Day of Prayer. Many participants complained that the President did not issue a proclamation this year.

Artesia Holds National Day of Prayer

An atmosphere of enthusiasm and a sense of urgency was the highlight of an overcast morning on May 13 as a small group of determined businesses and a few city officials discussed the possibility of a future Artesia Business Association. The meeting took place at the Quest Learning Center in Artesia.

Their discus-sion has brought the association one step closer to reality, and those attending set the date for another meeting to vote for a permanent presi-dent and treasurer. The meeting will be on May 28, at the Albert O. Little Community Center at 18750 Clarkdale Avenue, at 7 p.m.

In the face of harsh economic times, and with the demise of the Ar-tesia Chamber of Commerce a few years ago, both the public and private sector in Artesia have begun to see the importantance of the relationship between the two.

Mayor Pro Tem Tony Lima began the discussion about the Business Association, and how beneficial such an organization

Artesia Business Association Fast Becoming a Reality

The budget process is a method of estimating money coming in (revenues) to offset money going out (expenses). The city’s budget is divided into three com-ponents: General Fund, Restricted funds, and Redevelopment Funds.

The General Fund accounts for all money not accountable by law in the restricted or redevelopment funds.

Restricted and Redevelopment funds are used for certain activities as dictated by the source. The General Fund, on the other hand, is managed by discretion for the purpose of sustaining the city’s opera-ting costs.

The reserve fund manages risk,

provides funds when affected by uncon-trollable elements, and prepares for any extraordinary circumstance the city may occasionally face.

One such extraordinary circumstance is the current recession. The City’s ana-lysts estimate approximately $1.1 million deficit for the 2009/2010 fiscal year.

On May 12, staff and City Council reviewed revenue enhancements and cost-cutting proposals developed by taking note of common practices elsewhere and most notably, from staff themselves. The city of Artesia hopes to begin taking the bold steps necessary to sustain our com-munity and its dedicated public servants.

would be in a small town like Artesia. “In a small city like Artesia, everyone should know everybody.”

Lima, along with other Artesia business owners, has been speaking about creating an Artesia Business Association for years, ever since the original Artesia Chamber of

Commerce went un-der. Lima introduced Dr. Steve Sherman, who is the temporary president of the or-ganization, until the Association elects permanent officers.

“I’m from Cerri-tos, but I’ve lived in this area all my life, even before there was a Cerritos. Wi-thout Artesia, there would be no Cerri-tos. This town is the heart of the region ... I see a lot of potenti-al for Pioneer Blvd., especially after all the work that has

gone into it,” said Dr. Sherman.

Chet Swart, the attorney who has volunteered his time to help

with the legal formation of association said, “We need participation from people in the city to get rid of the straw people (the temporary officers) and get this association formed.”

Interim President Steve Sherman of the Ar-tesia Business Association tells the audience about how important it is to form such an association.

Artesia’s Current Financial Situation

On May 29, the City of Artesia will celebrate its 50th year of incorporation. On that day, the City invites the entire community to Artesia Park to celebrate the last 50 years.

While children’s pony rides begin at 2:30 p.m., the rest of the festivities will begin at 4:30 p.m.

A special ceremony at 7:30 p.m. will recognize the City’s newest residents, oldest residents (regardless of time spent in Artesia), the longest-residing Artesian,

oldest and newest businesses, and the longest-running service organization.

The ceremony will end with the burial of a special time capsule. The time capsu-le will be opened again on Artesia’s 100th Anniversary.

Starting at 6:30 p.m., the first 500 people will receive free food. Family games, live music, and a youth recital are also scheduled.

For more information on this event, call Andrew at (562) 865-6262.

City Invites Community to Celebrate 50th Anniversary

50th Anniversary Parade Route

Artesia, along with Pageantry Productions, has determined a route to be used for the 50th Anniversary parade that will take place on October 10.

The parade will be very similar to the Pioneer Days parade that once was an annual event in Artesia. The 50th Anniversary parade will be part of a 3-day community celebration starting October 9 and ending October 11. The parade will start on 178th Street and Pioneer Blvd. and end at Artesia Park on South Street and Clarkdale? The community fair will take place at Artesia Park, 18750 Clarkdale Avenue.

For more information, visit www.cityofartesia.us or call Andrew at (562) 865-6262.

City's Proactive Stance on Tree TrimmingIn the past, Artesia has

taken a reactive stance toward tree trimming. That isn’t true anymore.

After noting that the City’s ability to maintain trees has greatly improved after working with West Coast Arborists since 1999, the City is now proactive and pruning trees on an annual cycle.

The City’s fiscal year budget has appropriated a maximum of $20,000 each year for tree maintenance from the City’s Gas Tax funds.

The following annual pruning cycle will be in effect. The map above illustrates the districts that are referenced.

Forget about the living room. The kitchen is the social hub of a home.

Today's homeowners update their kitchens to reflect their personal tastes and add visual appeal their guests can enjoy when they entertain. But how do you get a custom look in your kitchen without the hefty price tag?

"By adding just a few dec-orative accents, homeowners can not only create a custom-looking kitchen, they can create a space that reflects a specific look -- from Art Nou-veau to French Neoclassical," says Paul Radoy, manager of design services for Merillat, a cabinet company specializing in kitchen design.

If you think updating your kitchen is out of your budget, here are some cost-effective renovation tips that can help you live the good life and entertain in a stylish kitchen that is a perfect reflection of your personal taste.

1. Cabinetry accents

While there will always be a place for custom cabinetry, there are more sensible and affordable options. Cabinetry accents work to enhance any kitchen's style with details such as feet, corbels, ornamen-

tal onlays and molding inserts. These decorative details can change the look of ordinary cabinetry into heirloom furniture, while allowing the homeowner to express their own personal style.

In addition to cabinetry accents, many common cabinetry options can be cre-atively incorporated. Decorative hardware is one small detail that can make a big statement. Pulls and knobs can comple-ment the cabinetry style, or they can be used to create a refreshing contrast.

2. Add color and contrast

Adding splashes of color is a great

way to create a fun, vibrant look while keeping the kitchen functional. Try adding tile details such as a colorful backsplash behind the stove. Or, purchase fresh tow-els and accessories for your kitchen in a coordinated, colorful design.

Using color as an accent on crown molding also adds a personal touch, while molding build-ups and dentil molding create intriguing visual effects. Cabi-netry molding in a contrast-ing finish creates an entirely different look, and including under-cabinet molding can add even more personality to your kitchen.

3. Make it your own

Displaying decorative items is an easy way to add your own personal touch. Op-tions like pigeon holes, plate racks and glass front cabinet

doors can be used to display these special items. Things like porcelain collectables, wine bottles or fine china are

all types of decorative items that help cre-ate a personal space that sparks conversa-tion with guests.

"People are spending more and more time in their kitchen, and whether they are using it for everyday activities or for entertaining, they want it to be beauti-ful," says Radoy. "The kitchen is a space that should make the homeowner proud, a place they love to be in, and by incorporating just a few design details any homeowner can accomplish this."If creating your dream kitchen seems out of reach, there's still hope, as you could win a $30,000 kitchen makeover. You can get your chance by visiting www.merillat.com and viewing the "Good Life" music video. Then, make your own video before June 4 about what the "good life" means to you -- include your friends, family, pets and more. If chosen, your video will appear on Merillat's Facebook page where fans can vote on their favorite. You could win the ultimate kitchen makeover or one of several great prizes.

For All Your Construction NeedsConstruction NeedsConstruction Needs

Outdoor living is more than just dress-ing up patios with a few planters and in-stalling a pool in the backyard. Instead, people are transforming ordinary back-yards into "specialty rooms" complete with kitchens, bars, TVs, lake-like pools and heating elements for cool nights.

With increasing demand for stunning outdoor sanctuaries, pools and other water features such as fountains, ponds and wa-terfalls have gained priority status. At the same time, ceramic tile has crept beyond its standard uses in kitchens and baths to appear in some of these more uncommon and unexpected scenarios. Tile of Spain-branded manufacturers continue to pro-duce a broad variety of products that add oasis-like attributes to outdoor living.

"Tile can be used in a multitude of outdoor living applications and not just in decor," reports Patti Fasan, a Tile of Spain ceramic tile consultant. "Today's tile serves practical purposes with its superior property advantages -- ideal for pools and other outdoor settings."

Why ask for ceramic tile when sculpt-ing your backyard Shangri-La? Ceramic tile offers beauty, safety and practicality all rolled into one. It inhibits the growth of mold, mildew, fungus and other organ-isms that usually accompany the presence of water. It's highly resistant to pool-related chemical agents such as chlorine and won't fade, even under continuous exposure to direct sunlight. And perhaps the most important benefit of ceramic tile when designing a spa or pool area: slip-resistance. Tiles are manufactured with a defined and rated anti-slip factor.

Keeping the needs of homeowners in mind, Natucer recently introduced Filter Floor. Using a very thin open joint, this floating ceramic floor allows rain water to pass through the tile surface and drain away underneath, preventing stagnation of water and resulting mildew. Filter Floor is a good material for use on terraces, bal-conies and as a swimming pool surround and is available in two finishes.

Interior design that reflects the natural beauty of outdoor surroundings is gaining popularity as well. This entails bringing the outside elements indoors so there is seamless transition between the bound-aries of the structure and its surrounding natural aesthetics.

One example is the Segorbe series by Tile of Spain-branded manufacturer Grespania that achieves the palette of a for-est floor -- a mesh of moss, leaf and stone. This tile is available in marengo, negro,

Open To The Elements: Ceramic Tile Breaks Out Of Kitchens And Bathsand tones. But as we all know, water and wood are not always the best partnership, requiring possible re-placement and refin-ishing from warping and staining. Tile of Spain manufacturers have embraced ad-vanced technology to replicate finishes virtually indistin-

guishable from the real thing. So for that organic poolside look, people can easily achieve the look of wood without the risk of water damage and high-cost replace-

COMMUNITYSPORTS Gahr’s Up And Down Softball Season Ends With a Pair of LossesBy Loren Kopff

By virtue of a win at Paramount on May 12, the Gahr softball team knew it was going to playoffs by the time it had touched the field in last Thursday’s regu-lar season finale against Downey. But the Gladiators wanted to put their internal and health issues behind them and avenge an earlier loss to the Vikings.

It wouldn’t be in the cards on this day as Downey jumped out to a 4-0 lead after three innings and held on for a 5-2 victory that left Gahr tied for third place with Par-amount in the San Gabriel Valley League standings at 6-4. Overall, the Gladiators finished the 2009 campaign at 11-16 after the team was ousted by St. Bonaventure 4-0 this past Tuesday in a California In-terscholastic Federation-Southern Section Division III wild card game in Ventura.

“The one thing these girls did different from the first time we played Downey is that we competed,” said Gahr head coach Mike Rogers. “We were in the game. I know we left a lot of runners on base, whereas in the last game against Para-mount, we executed and we had timely hits.”

On Apr. 28, the Gladiators were blanked by the Vikings 7-0 and held to just two hits. Last Thursday, the Gladia-tors again had problems getting their of-fense going until the bottom of the fourth

when sophomore shortstop Jasmine Ruiz singled to left field and scored on a ground-out from junior right fielder Erika Jackson. In the next inning, junior left fielder Cath-erine Gonzalez reached on an error and was forced at second on a fielder’s choice from sophomore first baseman Erica Willig. Fol-lowing a walk to senior designated player Kayla Gonzales, Ruiz brought home Willig with her second hit of the game.

Only senior second baseman Brittney Miller would collect Gahr’s other hit of the game, which came in the fourth inning, and Downey’s Brittany Colenzo retired the fi-nal eight batters she faced.

The Gladiators began this season with more drama and internal issues than Rog-ers had anticipated after losing all but four players from last season’s team. After win-ning the first two games of the season, Gahr lost nine of its next 10 games and never got closer than two games under .500. To make matters worse, the team was decimated with injuries all season long which forced Rogers to juggle his defensive alignment a lot. But the biggest loss came when senior first baseman Holly Sloan was sidelined with a rare medical illness. Sloan, who was leading the team with a .455 average, missed the final seven games of the season. Last season, Sloan was injured most of the season and didn’t see action until the 22nd game; Gahr finished 18-13.

“You have a young lady in Holly who has been on this team for four years and she has a serious illness and it kind of puts things in perspective,” Rogers said. “You have to take care of your health; that’s number one. Over the last couple of games, we’ve had in-house issues but I feel during the past few games, it has brought us closer together.”

In the seven games that Sloan missed, the Gladiators went 3-4 but two of those three victories were against the bottom feeders of the league. Gahr loses just three seniors and had four juniors on this season’s team. With less injuries and even less dra-ma next season, the Gladiators are poised to make a run at what hopes to be their third league title in the last four seasons.

Valley Christian Baseball Falls Short of Playoffs AgainBy Loren Kopff

For the second straight season, Whit-tier Christian had a say in the playoff fate for Valley Christian’s baseball team. A loss on the last day of the 2008 season to Whit-tier Christian forced the Crusaders to have a play-in game against Paraclete to deter-

mine the final playoff spot in the Olympic League.

The Crusaders lost and missed the playoffs for the first time since 2004. Last Thursday evening, Whittier Chris-tian paid a visit to Valley’s home diamond and edged the hosts 5-3 to again eliminate Valley from any playoff consideration. The Crusaders, who ended the season on a five-game losing streak, needed a win plus a victory by Los Angeles Baptist over Montclair Prep to claim third place in the Olympic League and neither happened.

“I think it hurts every year of this type of situation,” said Valley head coach John Tompkins.

On the second pitch of the game, Cam-eron Stanley hit a home run to give the Heralds a 1-0 lead. But the Crusaders re-bounded in their half of the inning. With one out, senior catcher Kyle Cameron reached on an error and moved to second on another miscue. He would score on a single from freshman pitcher Chase De-Jong. That was followed by a single up the middle from senior center fielder Brett Struiksma. After a walk was issued to se-nior first baseman Greg Saarloos, senior left fielder Eric Fasnacht’s base hit to left brought in two more runs.

But in the next inning, the Heralds put the game away by answering with three runs of their own. Vincent Marinacci singled, went to second on an error and scored on a wild pitch. After a walk and two strikeouts, Daniel Genberg had a run-scoring hit and Stanley recorded his sec-ond straight hit. Although Whittier Chris-tian added an insurance run in the seventh inning, DeJong was solid from the third through the sixth, yielding two hits, walk-ing one and striking out three. He went the distance and fanned 11 batters for his third complete game of the season.

“Chase has been exemplary this year,” Tompkins said. “His record does not re-flect anything near how good he is. I think he’s as good as advertised on the mound and I also think he’s way better than adver-tised at the plate.”

Offensively, the Crusaders (9-17-1 overall) got four hits after three in the first inning alone and did not get a runner to third base. DeJong went three for four while Struiksma went two for four.

“I thought we had a fairly immature group on the field and I think it probably played out to our detriment this year,” Tompkins said. “I think there are a million excuses each can make but plain and sim-ple, growing pains covers it. Thousands of more ground balls over the summer and over the fall, we get a lot better. Because we’re so small, we need to figure out how to play more games like all of the other schools we compete with.”

Pursuant to Sections 3381 through 3385, Revenue and Taxation Code, the Notice of Power to Sell Tax-Defaulted Property in and for Los Angeles County, State of California, has been divided and distributed to various newspapers of general circulation published in the County. A portion of the list appears in each of such newspapers.

NOTICE OF IMPENDING POWER TO SELL TAX-DEFAULTED PROPERTY

Made pursuant to Section 3361, Revenue and Taxation Code

Notice is hereby given that real property taxes and assessments on the parcels de-scribed below will have been defaulted five or more years, or, in the case of nonresi-dential commercial property, property on which a nuisance abatement lien has been recorded or that can serve the public benefit by providing housing or services directly related to low-income persons when three or more years have elapsed and a request has been made by a city, county, city and county, or nonprofit organization that property will become subject to the tax collector's power to sell.

The parcels listed will become subject to the tax collector's power to sell on July 1, 2009, at 12:01 a.m., by operation of law. The tax collector's power to sell will arise unless the property is either redeemed or made subject to an installment plan of redemption initiated as provided by law prior to 5:00 p.m., on June 30, 2009. The right to an installment plan terminates on June 30, 2009, and after that date the entire balance due must be paid in full to prevent sale of the property at public auction.

The right of redemption survives the property becoming subject to the power to sell, but it terminates at 5:00 p.m. on the last business day before actual sale of the property by the tax collector.

All information concerning redemption or the initiation of an installment plan of redemption will be furnished, upon request, by Mark J. Saladino, Los Angeles County Treasurer and Tax Collector, 225 North Hill Street, First Floor, Los Angeles, California 90012.

The amount to redeem, in dollars and cents, is set forth opposite its parcel number. This amount includes all defaulted taxes, penal-ties, and fees that have accrued from the date of tax-default to the date of June 30, 2009.

I certify, under penalty of perjury, that the foregoing is true and correct. Dated this 22nd day of April, 2009.
