B & B Stables Fundraiser Entertains Guests With Music, Food and GamesBattle for Hawaiian Gardens Heats UpBy Jerry Bernstein

The battle for control of Ha-waiian Gardens between supporters of the Hawaiian

Gardens Varrio Gang and resi-dents who want to continue the city’s progress of cleaning up its image and making its streets safe for its residents came to a boil July 28 at a regular meeting of the city council.

Prior to the meeting, demon-strators lined Pioneer Boulevard in front of the City Hall with signs calling for an end to the Gang In-junction and establishment of a Hawaiian Gardens Police Depart-ment.

Los Angeles Sheriff Pete Pitchess speaking to the crowded council chamber said he would set aside time to meet with them and try to resolve their grievances. He said if the deputies assigned to Hawaiian Gardens were abusing their policing authority, it would

Mayor Bruce Barrows and city council members honored 50 property owners, selected from a field of 134 nominees, for supe-rior maintenance of their homes at the 2009 City of Cerritos 19th Annual City Wide Pride Beauti-fications Awards Banquet at the Sheraton Cerritos Hotel July 24.

For judging in the residential category, the City was divided into five areas of approximately 3,000 homes each. Volunteer judges carefully reviewed each nomina-tion this spring and selected 10 winners in each area. More than 1,800 winners have been honored including this year’s recipients.

Barrows thanked the winners “for sharing a common love for the City of Cerritos, but also for the qualities of caring, teamwork and responsibility. Through your efforts and the gift of your time, you have helped make our home-town one of the most beautiful cities in Los Angeles County.”

ABC Adult School Adults with Disabilities Program

Mr. Hector A. Courtois, Music Ap-

preciation instructor for The ABC Adult School Adults with Disabilities program presented a farewell concert for the Founder’s House of Hope residents and their families. Mr. Courtois has been an instructor for over four years. Joining him was his friend Julio Montero, a mas-ter of Latin American harp. The music was from all over South America and beyond. Budget cuts have made it neces-sary to discontinue this class following the spring semester.

The students who were privilege enough to enjoy this class learned about several genres of music, including The History Jazz and Rock; n’ Roll. They have listened to some of the great singers of our time including: Pavarotti, Placido Domingo, Jose Carreras, Cecilia Bartolli, and Andrea Bocelli. In addition, they watched classical ballet, concerts and chamber music; the Romero’s playing classical guitar; flamenco and tango dancing, the music of Asia, India, South America, Ireland and Scotland. They explored the wonderful, largely forgot-ten treasure that is American musicals form the 30’s 40’ and 50’s. During the semester, several musician friends joined Mr. Courtois in concert presenting music from Argentina, Mexico and the Andes.

The ABC Adult School will continue to offer classes for Adults with Disabili-ties at Windsor Palms, Vintage of Cer-ritos, Artesia Christian Home, Clontarf Manor and Founders House of Hope. Residency in the ABC Unified School District is not a requirement. New fall semester classes begin Monday, Septem-ber 14, 2009. Please call (562) 926-6734 for additional information or visit our website at: www.abcadultschool.com.

Governor Eliminates State Funding to Domestic Violence ProgramsLives of domestic violence victims and their children endangered.

Governor Schwarzenegger line item vetoed the Department of Public Health’s Domestic Violence Program, which provides $20.4 million for 94 domestic violence shelters and centers.

Domestic violence shelters are often the only thing standing between victims and grave physical danger, and Califor-nia’s communities cannot sustain their

loss. Services provided by these agencies

include emergency shelter, transitional housing, legal advocacy, assistance with restraining orders, counseling and other vital support services.

“We are appalled to see the Governor eliminate funding to vital programs that save lives,” said Tara Shabazz, Execu-tive Director of The California Partnership to End Domestic Vio-lence (CPEDV). “State funding to domestic violence programs has been proven to save lives, and also millions of dollars in health care, law enforcement and other social costs. It is fiscally irresponsible to propose such cuts; the Governor is balancing the budget on the backs of our state’s most vulnerable citizens.”

“If the Governor’s budget cuts are allowed to stand, victims will not have a place to turn for help and lives will inevi-tably be lost.”

Act now. Click here to urge California lawmakers to REINSTATE FUNDING for these life-saving programs. http://www.capwiz.com/sfvo/home/.

One Party Rule for California

In the July 24th issue of this news-paper, the Publisher and Assemblyman, Tony Mendoza, seem to agree that one party rule is good for California.

Can you imagine what the budget deficit would be if Democrats had total control over taxing and spending? Keep-ing the existing two thirds requirement to pass the state budget is the only thing standing between rational conduct and total disaster. Taxpaying Californians are already overburdened, and businesses are shutting down or leaving in droves pre-cisely because of the high cost of doing business in this state.

The Republicans argue for a cap on spending however Democrats are resolutely opposed to such a measure. Ordinary people like you and me, as responsible adults, have to live within our means. Democrats don't think the same rationale should apply to government spending. They act like children who have no concept of responsible behavior. They, like ostriches, stick their heads in the sand to avoid seeing reality.

The Publisher argues that Californians can be trusted to vote incumbents out of office if they "did not like the way things were running". Based on polling data, Californians do not like the way things are running yet they continue to vote for the same scoundrels who got us into this mess in the first place. The Publisher seems to contradict himself when he says "the 2/3

system will weed out the radical left (of which I am not a member) and the radical right (who are supported by morons like Limbaugh, Hannity and Beck".) I am glad to hear that the Publisher is not a radical leftist. I was beginning to wonder based

on his mean spirited reaction to those with whom he disagrees. Once again, like many liberals, the Publisher resorts to name calling when he is unable to make rational argu-ments against oppos-ing points of view.

Thankfully, because of the existing two party system which affords the opportunity for discus-sion and debate, the recent budget, reluc-tantly agreed to by Democrats, included actual cuts in spending.

Econo-My-Scene:Chalk one up for “Hawaiian Gardens Diplomacy” By Randy Economy

Stop Labeling on our CommunityI have always been compassionate

about an open and honest dialogue be-tween our local city halls, and the commu-nity residents that are the heart and soul of the world around us.

Norwalk, Pico Rivera, Cerritos and Hawaiian Gardens have all been in local, state and national headlines recently, and many say for all the wrong reasons.

In Norwalk we have seen sexual ha-rassment lawsuits against two elected city council members and a third city council-man is currently under scrutiny by the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Of-fice. Many are calling the Norwalk’s City Council the “Most Touchy Feely” City Council in California. Get my drift.

In Pico Rivera we have watched one controversial City Councilman have his home, business and city hall office raided by the District Attorney’s Office of Public Integrity a couple of weeks ago. An inves-tigation is underway, but the DA is tight lipped about what they are looking for and if anyone else under their microscope.

In the All-America/Green City of Cer-ritos, we have watched as television news stations and national media outlets label the community as having the “Most Toxic Air” in America. The City has a pristine image and they want to keep it that way.

In Hawaiian Gardens we have watched “America’s Largest Gang Raid” ever conducted over the past two months. Hun-dreds of people have been arrested and it has divided The Gardens into “us versus them,” and the serious pain inflicted over the situation is almost humanly unimagi-nable.

Labels can destroy the image of a community, and it’s time to stop putting cities into “classifications” or “catego-ries.” It’s time for everyone to listen to

each other openly and honestly without fear and retaliation.

Hawaiian Gardens DiplomacyIn The Gardens, I want to salute three

community leaders this week. Pastor Barry Bruce for his amazing

ability to open a dialogue with both the Hawaiian Gardens City Council and with Los Angeles County Sheriff Lee Baca over the pain that has been caused on the recent gang sweeps and federal injunc-tions here.

I also want to congratulate HG Mayor Mike Gomez and Sheriff Baca for LISTENING to Pastor Bruce and to the People of Hawaiian Gardens this past week during a very tense and heated city council meeting.

These three passionate commu-nity leaders are proof that all sides of a controversial issue can be heard and that solutions can be reached when people just begin to talk to each other.

All of us can learn from the conversa-tion that is occurring in Hawaiian Gar-dens.

It’s time for diplomacy and healing to occur within our great neighborhoods, one conversation at a time.

USA Today Retracts Cerritos Pollution StoryFox News yet to retract - what else in new? With employees like Lim-baugh, Hannity, and Beck (Beck recently called Obama a racist) do we expect one?

Keep trying: follow-up by calling Pro-ducer Maria Donovan, at 212-301-3256 or e-mail maria.donovan@foxnews.com to voice your support of the retraction.

California officials have challenged a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency air pollution assessment that identified a neighborhood in Cerritos as facing the nation's highest cancer risk from air emissions. After the EPA released its as-emissions. After the EPA released its as-sessment, which USA TODAY reported on June 24, California's South Coast Air Quality Management District reviewed the data and found "gross overestimation" in Cerritos and several other places because the EPA relied on outdated or incorrect emission data. The AQMD also tested emissions from a facility the EPA report blamed for much of the risk in Cerritos and found its current pollution levels were far lower than those the EPA cited.

The EPA sent a letter July 16 to Cer-ritos Mayor Bruce Barrows saying emis-sions from the facility "are now known to be at a safe level." The letter said the EPA would investigate further and promised "to continue to improve the accuracy" of the information it releases.)

The government's latest snapshot of air pollution across the nation shows residents of New York, Oregon and California faced the highest risk of developing cancer from

Suffice to say, humans are outnumbered by these pesky little bugs that can bite and sting causing temporary discomfort or, in rare cases, potentially fatal reactions. Fortunately, most bug bites and stings do not cause any long-lasting health problems. But you should know what to do in the event you get stung by a bee or wasp, or bit by a spider, tick, mosquito, or ant.

If you are stung by a honeybee, wasp, hornet, yellow jacket, or fire ant, try to remove the stinger (when there is one) if it is visible by gently scraping the skin with a straight-edge object, such as a credit card. Wash the area with soap and water, and then apply a cold pack to reduce pain and swelling. If the

area itches, such as from a mosquito bite, apply hydrocortisone cream, calamine lotion, or baking soda paste (three teaspoons baking soda and one teaspoon water) until symptoms subside.

Be on the lookout for signs of an infection and get medical assistance immediately if you notice any signs of a severe allergic reaction, such as:•Wheezing or problems

A normal spider sack contains several hundred eggs. The average beehive has approximately 45,000 bees. Female ticks can lay up to 6,000 eggs, while fire ant queens produce about 1,500 eggs per day. Don’t forget about mosquitoes. They deposit eggs together in a raft that contains 100 to 200 eggs.

The Los Alamitos Medical Center Emergency Department is located at 3751 Katella Ave. in Los Alamitos.

Spider bites also should be washed with soap and water. Apply an ice pack and then elevate the area to delay the spread of venom. Seek emergency medical care if you suspect the bite is from a black widow or brown recluse spider, which can cause symptoms such as body rash, fever, headache, pink urine, discolored area around the bite, joint stiffness, lack of appetite and muscle spasms.

If you find a tick, use tweezers to grasp the head of the tick next to the skin and pull firmly until the tick lets go. Wash your hands and the tick site with warm, soapy water and then swab the bite with alcohol. Call your doctor if part of the tick could not be removed, the area looks infected, the tick has been on the skin longer than 24 hours, or symptoms develop, such as fever, headache, chills, nausea, or rash.

tors. Festival President Kirsten Carr said this was a one percent increase over the previous year noting attendance increased each day of this year’s festival, Thirty-one years ago the first festival attracted an esti-mated 5,000 visitors.

What brings people to the Gilroy Garlic Festival besides sampling Garlic in a vari-ety of food that whets the appetite? This writer believes it’s the atmosphere and the 4,000 plus volunteers that put it on. This includes the President and Board mem-bers, parking lot attendants, maintenance, cooks, etc.

For all its 31 years, the festival has re-lied on volunteers to make the celebration a reality. Each year disbursements are made

to charities based on the number of hours worked by the volunteers who donate their hours to the non-profit or charitable groups of their choice. During the first 30 years the festival has been in existence more than $8 million has been given to charity, community organi-zations and schol-arships. This year $1.72 million was

added to the kitty.

The Fes-tival site in

located on Christ-mas Hill Park, This year’s Presi-dent, Kirsten Carr, upon welcom-ing visitors said, “President Obama may live at 1600 Pennsylvania Av-enue, but I’ll settle for Gilroy and Christmas Hill Park,” site of the festival That state-ment illustrates the excitement and enjoyment that en-velops the festival.

At 10 a.m. sharp, the festival gates are open. Upon entering, visitors are treat-ed to the smells and sounds of the Pyro Chefs who are busy creating tasty treats from Gourmet Alley, the heart of the Festival. It is lo-cated in the center of the grounds. Here visitors can sample delica-cies featuring stuff mushrooms, pasta con pesto, calamari, scam-pi, Italian sausage, sandwiches, garlic bread, garlic fries, garlic chicken stir-fry and peppersteak sandwiches.

The festival doesn’t have rides that teenagers might enjoy, but it does have a mountain to climb where visitors of all ages can scamper up. There are how-ever, rides, face painting, arts and crafts, and entertainment in a children’s area for the younger set to enjoy. For the teenager and parents, there are lessons in gar-lic braiding and contests in Gar-lic topping. This writer has been going to the festival for the past

11 years, and still has not mastered the art of braiding.

Four stages provide musical entertain-ment for all ages. At one stage I found myself watch-ing visitors doing “The Twist.” With p a r t i c i p a n t s r e p r e s e n t i n g all ages. Other stages featured jazz, jazz pop, blues, country, mandolin and vocals, folk, rock & roll and much more.

During the official opening of the Festival, Miss Gilroy Garlic Queen and her Court were intro-duced. The 2009 Queen was Jes-sica Brewka. A graduate of The University of San Francisco where she re-ceived a bachelor’s degree in English and a minor in criminal justice. This fall she plans to enroll at Santa Clara University to obtain her masters degree in teaching. The Gilroy Garlic Festival Association awarded her a $1,000 scholarship and she received a $450 scholarship from the festival’s Past Presidents.

One of the most popular programs at the festival, at least with those who like to cook, is the Garlic Recipe Competition known as The Great Garlic Cook-off.

Over the years hundreds of recipes have been received from throughout the United States and Canada featuring garlic and its uses in different foods. Eventually eight recipes are chosen each year with the eight finalists who submitted the recipes coming to Gilroy to cook and present their recipes on the cook-off stage on Saturday morn-ing of the festival. A panel of judges tastes each dish and selects a winner. The dishes are judged based on the ease of prepara-tion, flavor, texture, creativity, appearance and use of garlic.

The grand-prize winner receives a cash prize of $1,000 and is crowned with

a wreath of garlic. Second and third place winners receive $750 and $500 respec-tively. The remaining finalists each receive

$100.Over the years

winning dishes have included Walnut-Garlic Tart with Garlic Infused Cream and Chili Syrup, Garlic Corn Crème Brulee with Pan Seared Scallops and Garlic Pancetta Sauce, and Grilled Garlic Citrus Herb Lamb Chops with Garlic Talini Sauce over Mediterranean Lentil Couscous Salad.

Sunday morning we left Gilroy, stop-ping at our favorite restaurant, O.D.’s, located in down-town Gilroy across from the Chamber of Commerce office, for brunch. The res-taurant is noted for

its Garlic Hamburgers and French Fries [upon request] and large servings.

be stopped. “My reason for being here is to see what we can do to build public trust in our department.

He said the complaints mus be heard by him and to designate certain times to hear. He suggested Saturdays from 9:30 a.m. to 12 noon.

Pastor Barry Bruce, of the Way Out Ministries, their apparent spokesperson said someone needs to coordinate it so everyone is heard. This could take several Saturday meetings, he said.

“I have to be able to hear the com-plaints,” he reiterated, “so we can initiate programs to alleviate the problems such as the status of the injunction. He said they have to look for the way to develop trust. “That’s my goal. What I’m trying to do is get to the real issues and solve them. We have to resolve these issues for the children of Hawaiian Gardens and the future of the city.”

The Mayor thanked the sheriff for tak-ing the time to come to Hawaiian Gardens and talk to its residents. “As you can see, “ he said, “we’re in a lot of pain right now.”Accusations

Bruce accused the deputies of harass-ment and of abusing their authority and treating the residents like they were crimi-nals. He said the people he represents are for law enforcement, but they want fair, just and righteous law enforcement. “We’re not getting that,” he asserted. He accused depu-ties of abuse, prejudicial behavior toward the people of Hawaiian Gardens and racial profiling regarding injunctions. He said when complaints are filed, nothing happens. “There is no public trust here in Hawaiian Gardens,” he added.

He wanted to know what happened in the city on June 3 that brought two squads of deputies, a K-9 unit, and a sheriff helicop-ter to the city, frightening children playing in a schoolyard. He said the suspect stole some socks in Cypress but surrendered to the deputies 10 minutes later. Bruce said the suspect was taken into a house was held and beaten until the fiasco was over.

According to Cypress police the suspect stole a 12-pack of socks from a supermarket in Cypress at gunpoint. A short time later two plain-clothes Cypress detectives saw the suspect riding a bicycle near Norwalk Boulevard and 222nd St. in Hawaiian Gar-dens. When confronted, the suspect aban-doned his bicycle and began running.

The detectives chased the man and were joined by officers from Cypress, Los Alamitos and Long Beach police depart-ments as well as Los Angeles County Sher-iffs Department. eventually surrounded, the man-sought refuge inside a home that was being remodeled. The residents weren’t home. But police obtained information that a painter was inside.

The incident was handled as a potential hostage situation and a SWAT team was called in. About an hour later, the suspect, later identified as Michael Singleterry, 24, came out and surrendered to the SWAT deputies.

He was taken into custody on sus-picion of armed rob-bery, resisting arrest, a felon in possession of a handgun and for a parole hold, police reported

Singleterry is a suspected gang mem-ber on parole for auto theft and had been out of custody for about five months. He iden-tified himself as a transient from Hawai-ian Gardens, police said.

Sgt. Tom Bruce of the Cypress police said Singleterry ap-parently suffered fa-cial abrasions during the pursuit and arrest. He said during his at-tempted escape and jumping fences, it’s suspected that he got scraped up, and when taken into custody he

had some kind of medical incident, falling to the ground and scraped his face, the Ser-geant said.Local Police Department

Pastor Bruce said Hawaiian Gardens had its own police department, but it failed. He wanted to know why it failed and how much it cost to run it? He also questioned the legality of the Gang Injunction that regulates the activities of members of the Hawaiian Gardens Varrio Gang, and at-tacked the honesty of the council mem-bers. He said instead of raiding homes of Hawaiian Gardens residents, the deputies should raid the Hawaiian Gardens Casino and Bingo Club.

A look at the record shows the city’s po-lice department closed because of corrup-tion in the department. Irving Moskowitz who finally withdrew his financial support when he realized it couldn’t be cleaned up had bankrolled the department.

Former Councilwoman Kathy Navejas

described the sheriff department as another gang with a badge. She said any investiga-tion that needs to be made, apparently re-ferring to city hall, needs to be made here. Navejas, who hasn’t lived in Hawaiian Gar-dens for the past 10 years said her son had been arrested and was in jail when sheriff deputies broke into her home at Huntington Beach, breaking a $3,000 front door. They wanted to know where the drugs were, asked where I got money for my son’s bail and wanted her jewelry and cash, and preceded to tear up the house. They found nothing.

Hawaiian Gardens Valarie Mason said she supported the Gang Injunction, which had made Hawaiian Gardens streets safer. She also said, accusation made against sheriff deputies need to be documented. Hearsay was not sufficient.

Others also spoke in support of the sher-iff, saying the city was progressing.

Local Travel Ball Softball Teams Enjoying Early Success In Major Tournaments

By Loren Kopff

From the Pacific Northwest to searing triple digit temperatures in the desert and all the way east to the Appalachian Mountains, a half a dozen travel ball softball teams from the area are competing in their respective final United States of America/Amateur Softball Association tournaments of the summer. The Artesia Punishers are represented by four teams while the Cerritos Franchise, still a relatively young program, has a pair of teams playing until Sunday.

In Las Vegas, where cases of water are being consumed faster than a Jessica Moon rise ball, the Artesia Punishers 18-Under team went 1-1 in pool play action of the USA/ASA ‘A’ 18-Under National Championships before opening up the double elimination playoff format this past Wednesday afternoon against the (Spanish Fork) Utah Pegasus. This past Monday, the

Punishers fell to the (Lafayette) Indiana Magic 8-7 in eight innings.

On the fourth pitch of the game, Dana Garcia launched a solo home run for the early lead. Two innings later, Taylor Johnson and Jamie Moon scored to make it a 3-0 advantage. After the Magic got on the board, the Punishers added two more runs with Gabby Villarreal and Holly Mooring coming across. But the Magic eventually tied the game with a pair of runs in the fourth and fifth innings, and again tied the game in the bottom of the sixth after Monica Sepulveda and Villarreal had given the Punishers a 7-5 lead. Both teams combined for 23 hits in the game.

This past Tuesday, the Punishers rebounded and knocked off the (Summerville) South Carolina Bandits 5-2 and the next day, the Punishers lost to the Pegasus 7-4 to open up the playoff portion. Artesia struck first with a pair of runs in the top of the first inning as Devin Salmones drove in Jamie Moon, who had walked. Taylor Johnson also scored in the inning.

But the Pegasus rallied for three runs in their half of the frame, and then added two runs in the fourth and sixth innings respectively. The finals Artesia runs didn’t come until the seventh when Garcia had a two-run double. The Punishers played the

(Homer Glen, IL) Homer Hawks on July 30 in an elimination game.

Also surviving extreme temperatures, but in Phoenix for the ASA ‘A’ 16-Under Western Nationals, are the two 16-Under Punisher teams. The Michelle Medina-coached team edged the Rip City 4-3 this past Tuesday highlighted by a three-run bottom of the fourth inning. Brittany Adler and Kristina Akiona each went two for three while Paige Bourgeois and Mylee Macahilig combined on a four-hitter. This past Wednesday, the Punishers were blanked by the Colorado Quicksilver 6-0 as Adler’s single and Akiona’s double were the lone hits for Artesia.

Also in Phoenix, Tim Rivera’s team breezed through pool play action without being scored upon. This past Tuesday, his team blanked the (Boulder) Colorado Stars 10-0 before getting by the Petaluma Steal Breeze 3-0 this past Wednesday.

A pair of 14-Under squads are in Mt. Vernon, WA for the ASA ‘A’ 14-Under Western Nationals. The Cerritos Franchise, coached by Jarrett White, blasted the (Redmond, WA) Xtreme 10-2 this past Tuesday as Hailey Schum tossed a four-hitter. Other highlights from the game were Paige Garcia smacking a pair of doubles and Taylor White tagging out a runner at the plate, preventing her from scoring on

an inside the park home run. The next day, the Franchise couldn’t hold on to a 5-2 lead going to the sixth inning and fell to the Downey Nemesis 8-7 in eight innings. Natalie Pasillas collected three hits.

The Artesia Punishers, coached by Roger Chavez, faced the (Portland) Rip City in the first pool play game this past Tuesday. Results of the two Punisher games were unavailable at time of press.

Finally, the Cerritos Franchise are having a blast in the ASA ‘A’ 10-Under National Championships in Johnson City, TN. Playing in 80 degree temperatures with on and off rain, the Franchise crushed the (Knoxville, TN) team AFC 17-0 to begin pool play action. Hannah Boos was working on a perfect game until the last inning. She ended up giving up two hits while striking out four. Kaitlin Okimoto went three for three in the three-inning affair against the first-year team. This past Wednesday, the Franchise defeated the Blue Springs (MO) Fireballs 6-1. Malia Quarles broke a 1-1 tie with a two-run single and Diana Villagran had a pair of doubles. The franchise, one of the favorites to win the tournament, began the playoffs this past Thursday against the (McDonough) Georgia Xtreme.

FHH Joins Coalition to Tour Morrell HouseBy Helen M. Brown

Nine members of the Friends of Har-gitt House Historical Society traveled to Redondo Beach Tuesday June 30, 2009 to join the Southern California Coalition of Heritage Commissions and Organizations (SCC-HCO) to tour the historic Morrell House. The SCC-HCO is made up of 22 Southern California cities and meet quarterly at various historical sites in the southland. This past year they have visited such sites as the Bolsa Chico Wetlands, Long Beach Bembridge House, Downey Aerospace Museum, Rancho Los Cerritos, and Norwalk Sproul House with a walk-ing tour thru the park to view the Norwalk Woman’s Memorial Rose Garden and the Nature Center. It has been an exciting year for all concerned.

The tour of Morrell House was just as exciting as the other outings and very well planned. The Redondo Beach Historical Society under the guidance of President Deborah Jackson went all out to welcome the Coalition to their newly renovated his-torical house. They were met at the front gate and escorted to the back lawn which had been set up with tables sparking with white tablecloths and black napkins. There they were served wine or Sparkling Cider as they socialized.

Once everyone arrived they were divided into small groups and first toured George House and got a slice of Redondo

Beach pictorial history narrated by a very knowledgeable male docent. He regaled them with entertaining stories of the old Redondo Beach Hotel and tales of the city’s famous past residents.

From there they walked around the beautiful Rose Garden in full bloom to tour the Morrell House. Our docent was President Deborah Jackson and she was very knowledgeable about the city, the

area, and the house. The House was built in 1907 and was

a combination Queen Ann and Crafts-

man detailing. It was designated a local landmark in 1991. The completed house was furnished by Barker Brothers. The Morrells were originally from Johnson City, TN and migrated to CA before hteir children were born. They had a son, Ly-man, who developed tuberculoses and died in Monrovia in 1936. Velma, their daughter, was born in 1906 just before they moved into Morrell House. Velma

continued to live in the house until the mid 50s. The parents had moved years ago to Monrovia to be near Lyman who

was confined to a sanitarian. Velma died on her 100th birthday on May 2, 2006 in Santa Barbara. To learn more about this family and the grand old house chick on hhtp:/www.redondobeachhistorical.org/Morrell__House.htm.

After a delicious catered dinner served on the lawn, the business meeting had to be moved inside due to the sudden drop in temperature. Coalition President Pamela Harrell of Yorba Linda welcomed every-one present and introduced and thanked the RB gracious hostesses of the evening.

At each meeting there is what is known as the Roundtable where each or-ganization present stands and updates all present on just what they have achieved or what they have planned since the last coalition meeting.

Pamela Harrell reported on Majeska House in Yorba Linda. It has been through many hazards over the years from wild fires to mud slides. At one point all the furniture had to be removed and stored. Pamela reported that once again all is in order and Majeska House is once more doing tours.

Marian Dodge, from the Los Feliz area, brought along a newly published book, the History of Los Feliz. It was written by Coalition member Don Selig-man. It will be put in all the area’s librar-ies and also sold to raise funds for the historical society.

Polly Haack of Norwalk announced the Hargitt House located at 12428 Ma-pledale St. in Norwalk will be having an Antique Quilt Show Saturday July 18th from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. It is open to the public and refreshments will be served. There will also be an Apron Show display Saturday the 15th, the second Saturday in August. For more information contact Polly Haack at 562- 864-5591 or Jalna Boltz at 562-921-1623.

The next Coalition meeting will be in La Mirada to tour Neff House; a catered dinner and the business meeting will be held in Neff Barn. This is a great old mansion and proves to be another histori-cal highlight. For more information or to RSVP for the Neff House tour contact Helen Brown at 562-921-4218 or email CheshirLdy@aol.com.

A stock picture of the house. The tour of Morrell House was just as exciting as the other outings and very well planned. The Redondo Beach Historical Society under the guid-ance of President Deborah Jackson went all out to welcome the Coalition.

News at 11:00… NBC Features Norwalk'sSpectacular FireworksBy Helen M. Brown

Norwalk celebrated this great Na-tion’s 233rd birthday with an astonishing and brilliant display of fireworks. It was magnificent! From start to finish. There were questions as to the Event even taking place this year due to neces-sary cutbacks in the city’s budget. City manager, Ernie Garcia, put an end to all these ques-tions when he announced at the June Chamber of Commerce luncheon that the budget has been balanced and the fire-works extrav-aganza would definitely go on as usual. The question as to whether or there would be a fireworks display earlier in the month, councilman Mike Mendez reported, “We have to have it; it is a tradition.” It is a costly event, especially in these hard economical times, but it is wonderful that the city fathers are still able to do this for its many citizens, as well as safer.

Once the word was out, Parks and Recreation Department went into full gear and did a fabulous job setting up the site booths for the children as well as games, music, and entertainment for all.

By 4:00 people began arriving loaded down with lawn chairs, blankets, ice

chests, etc. staking out their spots and readying for an evening of superb enter-tainment. By 9:00 when the fireworks show was scheduled to begin, surrounding lawns, sidewalks, and parking lots were all filled to capacity with residents from the surrounding homes and businesses an-ticipating an exciting and fabulous show.

Each year the City holds a lottery in order to fairly choose which non-profit organizations will be able to put up food booths to serve food at these various City functions. This year there were five (5) booths filled with volunteers anxious to

sell food and interact with their friends, neighbors, and co-workers out for an evening of fun. These five included the Norwalk Community Coordinating Council (NCCC), the Norwalk Elks Lodge #2142, all City Band, LULAC, and Nor-walk Lions. All monies made from these booths at these events go right back into the community in the form of charitable donations, scholarships, etc.

This year there was quite a pleasant surprise when reporter Patrick Healey from NBC channel 4 showed up around 8:00 with his cameraman, Spiro, in tow. The NCCC crew got excited when he

chose their Ways & Means Chair and Norwalk’s own Vice-Mayor Gordon Stefenhagen to interview. It was to be aired on the 11:00 news later that evening. It was a fantastic interview and he could not have chosen a more knowledgeable and experienced person than Gordon to tell him about Norwalk and our various activities. Sorrowfully, most of it ended up on the cutting room floor but all were proud of the opportunity for Norwalk’s two minutes of fame viewed on nation-wide television. Patrick Healey had to get back to the studio (no doubt to do all that editing) but he did leave two sound trucks to film our great fireworks show… and it was especially great this year.

It was a marvelous evening and ended happily and peacefully for all. We have to say a special thanks to our own Carlos Ramos of Public Safety and Captain Max-well of the LASD. They did a terrific job organizing their people and getting that large a crowd in and out of the parking area and on their way without any major mishaps.

Summer Concerts Scheduled in Norwalk

The city of Norwalk will host Summer Concerts on Wednesday nights beginning at 7 p. on the City Hall Lawn, 121700 Norwalk Blvd. The Concerts are free, and refreshments will be available for purchase.

Thomas Lenz Named One of the Top 100 U.S. Labor AttorneysWins award for the fourth consecutive year as partner withAtkinson, Andelson, Loya, Ruud & Romo.

Thomas A. Lenz, a partner with Atkin-son, Andelson, Loya, Ruud & Romo, has again been named to the list of “Top One Hundred Labor Attorneys in the United States for 2009” as compiled by Labor Relations Institute, Inc., a leading industry information source. He made his debut on the list in 2006.

Inclusion on the list puts Lenz in the top one percent of labor attorneys in the U.S., making him one of the most active and successful attorneys representing companies in National Labor Relations Board-monitored elections.

“To be included in the Top One Hun-dred is a tremendous honor,” according to LRI CEO Donald P. Wilson. “It acknowl-edges these attorneys’ professionalism and long-term dedication to their clients.”

Lenz made the prominent list by being selected from more than 9,000 attorneys who have represented clients in union matters. “Top One Hundred” winners have represented clients in a substantial volume of representation elections and achieved consistently favorable results for those clients.

As employers face a challenging economy and a period of significant change in national labor law and policy, Mr. Lenz regularly advises and assists

employers in business planning on labor issues as well as educating the business community. In 2009 alone, hundreds

of employers have benefitted from his seminars and training sessions on topics including the Employee Free Choice Act legislation currently pending in Congress.

Prior to joining AALRR, Mr. Lenz practiced law with the National Labor Re-lations Board, Region 21, in Los Angeles.

Since joining the firm, he has played a leading role in advice, train-ing, and representation of employers in unfair labor practice cases; representation election cases; union organizing campaigns, including corporate campaigns and salting; collective bargaining; picketing; strikes; and related litigation.

Established in 1979, AALRR is a full-service firm with 140 attorneys serving Cali-fornia employers from seven offices through-out the state, including Cerritos, Fresno, Irvine, Pleasanton, River-side, Sacramento, and San Diego. The firm provides practical legal solutions in the areas of

employment, labor, construction, educa-tion, real estate, general business and business litigation, corporate, taxation, bankruptcy, and immigration. For more information, please visit www.aalrr.com.
