Hawaiian Gardens City Council Divided Over 'Missing' MoneyBruce and Reynaldo indicated $6 million was lost, City Finance Officer said it was never missing.

By Jerry Bernstein

The Hawaiian Gardens City Coun-cil wrestled with an intangible monster at its Sept. 13 meeting

over whether $6 million of city money had been lost and suddenly reappeared or was it just a question of miscommu-nication.

City Finance Officer David Sung told the council there was no missing money. In a power point presentation he showed where the city’s money is allocated noting

Artesia Parking Fee Established in Old Town For New and Expanding RestaurantsCouncil also approves $150,000 application for grant funds for rehabilitation of facilities in Artesia Park and A.J. Padelford Park.

By Jerry Bernstein

The Artesia City Council at its Sept.12 meeting approved a Parking In-Lieu Fee and Parking Operation

and Maintenance fee for new restaurants and restaurant expansion in the old down-town area on Pioneer Boulevard.

At its Aug. 8 meeting, the council direct-ed city staff to draft a resolution establish-ing a Parking In-Lieu Fee in the amount of $5,000 for each off-street parking space required in the municipal code that cannot be provided on the lot where the restaurant is located and a Parking Operation and Maintenance Fee in the amount of $500 per parking space per year for new restau-rants and restaurant expansion.

In addition to the fee all future busi-ness owner(s) will pay an in-lieu Parking Operation and Maintenance Fee, which will off-set the City’s costs to operate

Nearly 3,000 people were killed on Sept. 11, 2001 when two planes deliberately crashed into

the World Trade Center towers in New York City Sept. 11, 200l. Fifteen percent of those were emergency workers who ran into the towers to rescue people and fight fires. These were true heroes, along with the passengers of United Airlines Flight 93 in the sky above Pennsylvania when the passengers fought back to take control of their airplane. These were true heroes….

The Cities of Artesia, Cerritos and Hawaiian Gardens held Patriot Day Cer-emonies honoring the 10th Anniversary of the attack on the twin towers in New York City, the Pentagon and on United Airlines Flight 93 in the sky above Pennsylvania on Sept. 1, 2001 where nearly 3,000 people died.

In Artesia, Mayor Victor Manalo wel-comed those in attendance, he said Sept. 1, 2001 was a day that was carved into the American psyche forever.

Guest speaker Captain Christy Guy-ovich of the Lakewood Sheriff Station said, “We all remember where we were on that September day. Television and radio stations immediately announced

what was occurring. The images forever ingrained in our minds. “We remember talking to the children, trying to explain what occurred and answer their ques-tions of …Why?”

Nearly 3,000 people were killed that day, of which 15 percent were emer-gency workers who selflessly ran into towers to rescue people and fight fires. She said we can’t forget the heroic acts of passengers on United Airlines Flight 93. Jeremy Glick, whose last words to his wife were “We’re going to rush the hijackers.”

“We were punched in the gut,

knocked down, cold cocked/ but in typi-cal American fashion, we got back on our feet.” She said all Americans come together. “It didn’t matter if you were Democrat or Republican, where you were born, or what ethnicity you were. We cried, rallied, donated and enlisted all together. And today, we continue to stand together…. as proud as ever.”

Fire Battalion Chief Tim Fordham of Fire Station 30 said he would never for-get coming to work that day and watch-ing the tragic events unfold with many fellow firefighters at his side, standing in

A field of miniature crosses were planted in the grass behind the stage in Cerritos in remembrance of those who died when the terror-ists tried to mortally wound the country on Sept. 11, 2001 by crashing plane into the Twin Towers in New York City, the Pentagon in Washington D.C. and in the sky over Pennsylvania.

Backpacking for three days on a long weekend is one thing; doing it for almost two weeks is another. From August 4 to August 20, nine scouts (ages 14-16) and three adults from Troop 693 of Cerritos, CA left for the journey of their lifetime.

When the crew loaded up for the train, they knew what they were in for - 11 days of arduous hiking while carrying everything they had, 1 day at base camp, and 2 days on the train to and from New Mexico. Philmont is one of the greatest experiences a scout can have. It is one of the three high adventure BSA camps in the nation. Philmont requires scouts to be disciplined, physically fit, and to use teamwork. Each day the scouts and adult advisors hiked into camp with everything they will use, including tents, sleeping bags, food, and clothing. The next day, they pack it up and do it all over again.

Troop 693’s scouts and adults, or Crew 806-F, had been training for the hike ever since they joined the troop. Each hike contributed valuable skills and ex-perience for the longest hike they would be on. Some days they would hike for as long as 12 miles, going up and down thousands of feet of elevation. In addi-tion to just having to hike the mileage, the crew hefted backpacks that would weigh 45 lbs, carrying their necessities everywhere they went.

The crew hiked through thick forests, green meadows, and stream crossings covering 53 miles of trek. They camped at the 2nd highest peak in the area Mt. Philips at 11,786 ft. The weather was dry for most part of the trek, but they did get to experience the famous rain and thunderstorm of New Mexico, almost making them scared for their life, when there was lightning just over their heads. One time in the afternoon

the ground almost turned white due to hail in the middle of a summer after-noon.

However, Philmont isn’t all work and no play; the scouts enjoyed a variety of different activities at each campsite. As a previous crew had told them, “Think of the hike only as a way of getting there”. Crew 806-F had chosen an itiner-ary planning out the different campsites they would hike to and the activities they would do there. They enjoyed black powder rifle shooting, rock climbing, horseback riding, archery, geocaching , forging, and even going into an old mine.

During their trip they also learned about Apache life, homesteading and Indian way of living. They also lent their helping hand in a conservation project by building part of a trail.

Troop 693 has been sending crews to Philmont every two to three years for the past few years; but this crew had the special privilege to honor a fellow scout who had lost his battle to leukemia in March of 2008, albeit with much brav-ery, courage and optimism. Joyson Szu (1994 – 2008) was an admirable Star scout and “The spirit of Eagle” recipient, who while facing a deadly disease had always been brave, reverent and cheerful with a never-give-up attitude till the very end. Crew 806-F essentially took Joyson along with them taking turns each day of their trek, carrying his hospital bracelet and a wooden arrow head that he had made as a young scout. On the final day, they placed those items in the form of a shrine atop the ‘Tooth of Time”, the most famous landmark in Philmont, at about 9,000 ft.

All in all, it was a unique experience which the crew will remem-

ber and draw upon for years to come.

Longtime Norwalk elected official Jesse Luera has a mantra in life. “Come over and visit me in my business and I will take you to the cleaners, literally.”

On Monday night, the longtime com-munity leader who has served more than half his life as an elected official in Norwalk received an official proclama-tion recognizing his “lifetime of dedica-tion to the community.”

Luera spent 19 years as an elected member of the NLM school board, and 17 years as a Norwalk city council member, and Member Daryl Adams referred to both himself as Luera as sometimes “being the lone wolf” on the voting sides of controversial policy items.

“When I was elected to the school board, it was in the 1970’s and I was the only Latino, or person of color, to serve as an elected member of this body,” Luera recalled.

Luera recently spent more than four and a half months in a hospital and rehabilitation center after he was in-volved in a automobile accident that nearly took his life in March. “It taught me about priorities in life, and just how fragile all of us really are,” Luera told the Los Cerritos Community News.

Luera is also a former three time Mayor of Norwalk, and past Director of the Norwalk Social Services Depart-ment.

“There were very few voices to speak out on behalf of the Latino community for years, before I was elected to the school board. We are a far different community now, as compared to the way we were back in 1975,” Luera said.

Rios also told the board that Luera “will give you a real lesson on life, and about the history of our community. He has never forgotten how he got where he is, and he is still her in the commu-nity and everyone still seeks his help and guidance.” She thanked him for her friendship.

School Board Member Ana Valen-cia, also honored Luera by stating that “Jesse has always been very a very special part of our community and I will always have a friend in you. You helped bring us together as a school district and city.

In other business, the Board wel-comed Gerald Hill as a new Specialist of Special Education. NLMUSD has one of the most noted Special Educa-tion programs of any public education system in Southern California. Hill said in his welcome remarks to the Board and community: “Kids don’t know what you care, until you care what they know.”

The Teachers Association of Norwalk La Mirada (TANLA) also announced that the rank and file classroom teach-ers had approved the details for a new agreement with a vote of 98%.

For the fourth consecutive year, the City of Cerritos was named a “Playful City USA” in honor of the City’s efforts to provide outstanding recreation pro-grams and facilities for children.

KaBOOM!, a national non-profit or-ganization that is dedicated to bringing play back into children’s lives, honored 150 communities from across the country with the designation Playful City USA. Playful City USA is a national recogni-tion program that honors cities and towns across the nation who put their children’s well-being first by recognizing and har-nessing the power of play. The cities were commended for creating a positive im-pact on childhood wellness, public safety and quality of life issues.

KaBOOM! commended the Cerritos City Council’s dedication to providing play opportunities for kids; maintaining a “Recreation is Good for You” public edu-cation campaign; continuing a partner-ship with ABC Unified School District to create increased awareness of the benefits of play and active recreation; and main-taining a month-long celebration of play and physical fitness each May in conjunc-tion with National Physical Fitness and Health Month. The Cerritos City Council was also recognized for ensuring Cerritos residents have high-quality open spaces and playgrounds in which to play.

The City has 25 parks and recreation facilities, including neighborhood parks, community centers, the Cerritos Olympic Swim & Fitness Center, the Cerritos Iron Wood-Nine Golf Course and the Cerritos Sports Complex. The gymnasiums at Cerritos and Whitney High Schools offer two additional facilities for recreation.

According to KaBOOM! representa-tives, the organization’s vision is for the nation’s communities to provide a great

place to play within walking distance of every child. Playful City USA communi-ties create best practices to reach those same goals. They serve as role models for other communities and prove that en-hancing children’s well-being by increas-ing the opportunity for play is an attain-able goal for every community.

For a variety of fun classes and sports for all ages, look for the “Community Services Program” in the February, May, August and November issues of “The Cerritos News.” The City’s website at www.cerritos.us also offers extensive information about fitness programs and facilities under the “Recreation” link.

Re: Publisher's RantMr. Hews was right on in his view of

Molina-Mandering. For Mendoza and the HHDC to try

and redraw the lines just because there are more Latinos in the area is ludicrous. Did anyone ask them?

What a concept, why not take a survey of 1-2,000 people in the area and see what they think? I would bet money they would say keep the Great Chief!

Mayor’s Message

Hello Neighbors,Sgt. Keith Suarez has

been recently assigned to the City of Hawaiian Gar-dens. While we will miss our former Sgt Joe Rev-

eles, we take comfort in knowing that though personnel transfers are inevitable, the Sheriff Departments dedication

and quality of service remains the same. Statistics show that since 2004 the

crime rate in Hawaiian Gardens has been reduced by nearly 60%. People are enjoying their front yards again and are moving freely throughout the city with a feeling of pride in their community. Our new Public Safety Center has provided an opportunity for residents and Sheriff Deputies to become more familiar with each other and has made it easier to develop the partnership that is needed to become a more united community. The addition of the YAL (Youth Activities League) under the direction of Deputy Malcolm Harcrow has been a blessing to our community. Through YAL activi-ties Malcolm teaches discipline and life skills to youngsters needing direction, and he may be the only adult role model that many of them feel they can trust.The community has responded in kind with hundreds participating in our “National Night Out March For Peace In The Com-munity”, and a Neighborhood Watch sponsored, “Publics Safety Recognition Night” banquet honoring Law Enforce-ment and Fire Dept. personnel.

Welcome to our home Sgt. Suarez, I know you will grow to love this little city, I’m looking forward to working with you to keep everyone in Hawaiian Gardens free from harm!

Hawaiian Gardens Mayor

Mike Gomez

Honestly Moving Past Racial Politics and PartisanshipOp-Ed by Assemblymember Tony Mendoza

Los Angeles County

Supervisor Don Knabe wants us to move past racial politics and partisanship in the redistricting process. His website proudly proclaims this fact.

But the current LA County redis-tricting dispute isn’t about race. It’s about fair representation for LA Coun-ty’s cities.

Fair representation doesn’t mean grouping a bunch of folks together because their skin color is the same. Fairness in this sense is grouping cities together because their issues are the same.

Within the South East portion of LA County, where San Gabriel Valley cities and Gateway cities lie, we see cities that share similar working class socio-economic values. They share the same coalitions, utility and sanitation services. They share the same geographic cor-ridors like the 605 San Gabriel River Freeway and the San Gabriel River. They are communities of common inter-est.

The same rings true for cities along LA County’s affluent coastline. These cities share similar environmental goals and interests as well as sharing similar socio-economic values.

To put it bluntly, Norwalk, Dia-mond Bar and Whittier have next to nothing in common with Manhattan Beach, Palos Verdes and San Pedro. By grouping these unlike areas together, each suffers from a diminished voice. Why then is Supervisor Knabe ada-mantly demanding these two areas be grouped within the same district during the LA County redistricting process?

If we truly mean to take a com-mon sense approach to redistricting, we should aim to protect the interests of affluent coastal cities while also protecting the interest of working class Gateway/San Gabriel Valley cities. We could do this by adopting a redistricting plan that places each distinct group into separate districts, like those reflected in the “S” plan proposed by Supervisor Mark Ridley-Thomas.

Too often this redistricting effort is being trivialized by using the argument that this effort is race based. It isn’t.

Supervisor Knabe is right. Some of the discussion and news coverage have turned redistricting into a racial divide. And they are getting the story wrong.

This is not about race. It’s about protecting the voice of like-minded communities within LA County.

This is not about the performance of the current supervisor. It is about using the redistricting process to generate fair and common sense districts, not protect-ing incumbents.

Demographically, more Latinos live within the San Gabriel Valley than in Coastal Cities. So, yes, splitting the areas into two separate districts would create a district with a Latino-majority. But race isn’t the motivating factor behind the call for redrawing these boundaries. Common sense is.

Don Knabe told the press recently, “The Redistricting plan is not about me, it has always been about fairness.” I agree with that statement.

This is not about Mr. Knabe or his service in the 4th District, it’s about the seat he will leave behind. These com-munities will continue to suffer from a reduced voice from their Superviso-rial representation for the majority of a decade if Knabe’s proposed maps are adopted.

We only get one chance every 10 years to get these lines right. Let’s protect the interests of both our coastal cities and our Gateway/San Gabriel Val-ley cities by finally ending the political gerrymandering and drawing some lines that actually make sense.

ABC Offers Parenting the Preschooler ClassesBy Larry Caballero

ABC Adult School Teacher Nancy Hom enjoys teaching Parent Education classes almost as much as the parents and grandparents who enroll in them. Artesia parent Ronda Rabe enrolled her daughter in the class six years ago, and now she is enjoying spending quality time with her four-year-old son Grant.

“It has been so beneficial to me to watch my son learn the social skills and basics that will prepare him for kin-dergarten next year,” said Rabe. “And also as a parent, I have made amazing friends, and I have enjoyed my time with them outside of class.”

Grandmother Carla Kuypers of Cer-ritos loves interacting with her grand-son Kinsey. Her two children had also participated in the program. “I love the parent involvement,” said Kuypers. “The children will know what they need

noon classes open that will give parents and children quality time to interact, learn and just have fun. Our extensive academic readiness program makes sure that children are ready for kindergarten, and our multicultural curriculum cel-ebrates students’ diversity.”

Hom said that the children have the opportunity to make friends, sing and dance, play outside with other children and take exciting field trips. Adults form a supportive community and ex-change helpful parenting tips.

California-credentialed teachers teach all classes.

Parents and adult guardians can regis-ter now online at www.abcadultschool.edu or in person at ABC Adult School Cabrillo Lane site located at Pioneer and Del Amo, 20122 Cabrillo Lane, Cerri-tos, CA. The phone number is 562-809-9011 ext. 25203.

when they go to kindergarten, and it’s a lot cheaper than dropping them off at pre-school that can cost up to $245 a month for only three days where there is only one teacher for 20 students.”

ABC Parent Education classes include one teacher, an aid and parents for a lot less money.

La Palma parent Holly Hamilton has two children in the program. “The par-ent involvement is great,” said Hamil-ton. “I love how the children are taught

to work independently as well as in groups.”

Mary Tellers has been involved in the program for more than nine years with three of her grandchildren. “I have en-joyed every minute of this program, and it has really helped me a lot as a care-giver to the children.” Tellers said that the socializing of the children and the academic preparation for kindergarten are the best components of the program.

Hom said, “There are still three after-

The parents and children who ABC Parent Edu-cation teacher Nancy Hom welcomes to her class for the new school year include (l-r) Holly Ham-ilton with children Brooke and Grant, Ronda Rabe with son Grant, Hom, Carla Kuypers with grandson Kinsey and Mary Tellers with grand-daughter Ashley.

Doo-Wop at Cerritos: A Sound Whose Time Has ComeBy Glen Creason

Pop music has as many sub-genres as Carter had pills but Doo-Wop may be the most ignored by the young who turn to stuff that musically can’t hold a candle to the pristine harmonies of the fellas on the street corner music. Yet, at Cerritos I sat behind two young women who seemed to have gotten the message and were having as great a time as the packed house-full of folks who remember when twitter was a lyric in “When the Red Red Robin Come Bob Bob Bobbin Along” The girls and a few thousand others liked the evening enough to stand and cheer and do plenty of chair dancing that did not endanger sacroiliacs in the assembled Boomers. These Doo-Wop resurrection concerts walk a thin line between nostalgia and neuralgia of the aged but there is nothing like hearing the great old songs live, if they are done right. “The Ultimate Doo-Wop Show” happily fired on almost all cylinders and the few notes that maybe didn’t reach vinyl records heights were easily forgiven in the glow of the number of great ones on display.

This show was dominated by the excellent Seymour Potts with the Contours who lit up the auditorium with high voltage R&B including their memorable hit “Do You Love Me” (Now That I Can Dance) along with a fiery send-up of “Shout” that was pure adrenalin. “The Contours” are originals who can still bring it with hot sauce

Master of IllusionCerritos Center hosting one-of-a-

kind show this weekend.

Deemed a "once in a lifetime extravaganza," the show brings the art of stage illusion to new heights of wonder.

The Cerritos presentations will feature exotic animals, beautiful dancers, escapologists,comedy magic, quick-change artists,

sleight of hand, and virtually everything a magic audience craves.

In fact, audience members will also become a part of the act when they are called on stage to assist with illusions.

Award winning magicians Kalin & Jinger, Farrell Dil-lion, Dan Sperry, Ed Alonzo, Kevin James, and Rick Thomas are some of the performers who will dazzle and captivate the crowd. For tickets go to www.cerrito-scenter.com or call

on the sounds too. While this show closing gallop sent everyone to their cars happy there was plenty of other fine music throughout. A neo-doo-wop group, “the Royals” from San Diego were perfect in their tight harmonies, even singing the now highly ironic “Teenager in Love” to a crowd that last saw the teen years about half a century ago. There was Joe Jones, the original lead singer of the Pentagons holding steady on “To Be Loved” that stirred some old romance cells. Paul and Paula came out and looked good, bringing memories of 1963 with “Hey Paula” that might have sounded great coming out of the vibrasonic in your 62 Nomad while cruising up Bellflower Blvd. The Volumes were classic, choreographed flash with their old hit “I Love You” that demonstrated the emotional appeal of this style of music when sung by four guys becoming one voice. The first half was then closed by the Vibrations who really put electricity into the hall with “Hang on Sloopy,” “Peanut Butter” and a terrific “Watusi” that got me to tap my pen on program.

The second half was more exciting and satisfying sounds from the days when pop music was about harmony and fine voices. “The Olympics” picked up the pace with “Big Boy Pete,” “the Hully Gully” and “My Baby Loves the Western Movies” which sent some old cruisers swinging their air lassoes in the audience. The best voice heard on the night was without a doubt Kathy Young who seems to have been sipping from the fountain of Ponce de Leon and when she crooned “A Thousand Stars” it sounded just as sweet as it did coming from your car radio back in the day.

As the penultimate thrill of the evening the Doo-Wop royalty “the Spaniels” came in silver suits and silky voices to give a masters class on how to sing in harmony, especially on the song that

has been called the anthem of the genre “Goodnight Sweetheart” which set the huge crowd to swaying happily in Doo-Wop joy.

Artesia Resident Celebrates 100th Birthday

La Palma Named One of the Best Places to Live in U.S.

The City of La Palma is proud to announce that it has again been named one of America’s Best Places to Live by MONEY magazine for 2011. La Palma previously appeared on the Best Places to Live list in 2007.

For 2011, the City was ranked 64th on the nationwide list that started with over 3,500 places throughout the United States having populations be-

tween 8,500 and 50,000. La Palma was the only Orange

County city and the second highest rated community in California to ap-pear on this year’s list.

CNNMONEY.COM reports that, “This diverse Orange County town is 10 miles from the beach and 20 miles from downtown Los Angeles, where many residents work. They can relax once they get home: La Palma has an exceedingly low crime rate.

Another family-friendly amenity: all three of the town’s elementary schools offer free after-school fitness programs.”

Upon hearing the news, Mayor Ralph Rodriguez said, “It is with great pride that we heard the news

that La Palma has once again been recognized as one of the best small cities in the United States. Many of the qualities that MONEY magazine evaluates are core to our way of life -- a safe community, excellent schools, quality housing, a vibrant and diverse population, and a fiscally sound City.

This recognition serves to reinforce what the residents and staff have known for a very long time: La Palma is a great place to live, work, and raise a family. Many thanks to the res-idents, volunteers, and hard-working professional staff that make La Palma special each and every day”.

By Loren Kopff

Valley Christian head coach Erick Streelman knew it would be a hard task to stop St. Joseph of Santa Maria last Friday night at Crusader Field. The Knights, from the California Interscho-lastic Federation-Southern Section’s Western Division, were opening their season as the sixth ranked team in the division.

So, there was reason to have some hope within the first three minutes of the game when a fumble recovered by ju-nior defensive lineman Clayton Granch led to a 7-0 lead for the hosts. But after that, St. Joseph scored 42 unanswered points and rolled the Crusaders 63-14. V.C. (0-2) lost to the Knights 46-10 last season in Santa Maria and allowed over 60 points in a losing effort for the first time since a 61-10 setback to Reno-based Bishop Manogue to begin the 2008 season. Last season, V.C. gave up 64 points to Maranatha but won by six points in a five overtime session.

“We learned that they’re really good, which we already knew,” Streelman said. “That was pretty obvious. But I think we learned a little bit about our defensive backfield. We have a lot of work to do there. We’re going to face another pass hitting team next week. I think we learned a little about our own passing game as well. I thought we actu-ally executed really well.”

Just 47 seconds following the Granch fumble recovery, V.C. went 55 yards and needed three passing plays from ju-nior quarterback Patrick Avila and a pair of penalties by the Knights to get on the board. Avila found senior wide receiver LeWayne Wright for 17 yards with 9:10 left in the opening quarter. But as fast as the Crusaders scored, the Knights were even faster.

Paul Avila completed three straight passes, the last going for a 15-yard score to Chad Brooks with 8:17 left in the first quarter. Then Scotty Cusak returned a punt 58 yards for another score 61 seconds later and after the first of two interceptions from Chas Brannon, Zak Karsh hauled in a 35-yard touchdown pass from Paul Avila with 5:48 left in the stanza to increase the score to 21-7.

“The only way we were going to beat these guys was to outscore them,” Streelman said. “We knew that they were going to put up points and there-fore, we had to put up points.”

The Knights scored again 12 seconds into the second quarter when Karsh went in from a yard out and after anoth-er interception 51 seconds later, Karsh caught three of his nine receptions dur-ing a seven-play drive that ended when Cusak scored on a one-yard run. When the Knights got the ball again, Cusak rambled his way to a 45-yard touch-down run to make it a 42-7 contest. Cu-sak played havoc on the V.C. defense, rushing seven times for 136 yards.

“He’s fantastic,” Streelman said. “He’s just as quick as can be and has great vision. We couldn’t tackle him.”

The Crusaders got some life at the end of the half when an interception from senior linebacker Nate Padilla led to a five-yard scoring connection from Pat-rick Avila to junior wide receiver Bran-don Bynum. Patrick Avila ended the first half completing 17 passes in 30 attempts for 158 yards. He would add another 39 yards in the third quarter before being replaced by Granch.

With the running game stymied by the St. Joseph defense in the first half, the Crusaders went to senior running back Jaylen Raye late in the third quarter to pick up some much needed yardage. After St. Joseph went up 56-14, Raye touched the ball seven straight times and picked up 78 yards in the process to end up as V.C.’s leading ground gainer.

“What happened tonight was we were in a mode that we were throwing the ball, so it didn’t really matter which run-ning back was in there,” Streelman said. “Jaylen is really doing a really good job. When we get the running game dialed in, he’s going to get some carries for sure.”

Senior wide receiver Bruce Hudley caught six passes for 63 yards while Bynum also caught six passes for 39 yards. Wright added five receptions for 58 yards. On defense, senior linebacker Anthony Nocera had five tackles while junior linebacker Tyler McLurg added three tackles. V.C. will visit St. Bernard tonight, an opponent it has defeated six out of the last seven meetings by an av-erage of nearly 15 points.

“We have to remind the kids that this is a marathon and not a sprint,” Streel-man said. “This game shows us what a great team looks like. It shows us glar-ing weaknesses that we have that might be covered up had we played a weaker opponent.”

Valley Christian senior running back Jaylen Raye carried the ball only eight times, all in the second half, but was his team's leading rusher with 72 yards in last Friday night's loss to St. Joseph of Santa Maria.

Artesia takes Pioneer to four sets but lose third straight matchBy Loren Kopff

It took until the third match of the vol-leyball season for Artesia’s offense to wake up and despite winning its first set of the season, it wasn’t enough to help the Pioneers to their first match victory. This past Wednesday, Pioneer knocked off Ar-tesia 25-15, 22-25, 25-12, 25-14, a far cry from the first two matches where Artesia was swept and scored a total of 77 points.

Artesia had drawn to within 19-15 in the first set before a serve into the net led to the final six points for the Titans, including three straight aces from Alexan-dra Robles. Pioneer was dominating the second set and had a 16-9 before Artesia assistant coach Samantha Bull called a time out. Whatever she said worked because the Pioneers staged a comeback which began with the first kill of the match from junior defensive special-ist Jhaida Bailey. Following a kill from sophomore setter Faith Devera, sopho-more outside hitter Daily Briseno posted three kills plus an ace from senior outside hitter Kimberly Lee. By now, the hosts were trailing 18-16 and the six straight points earned were a season-high through the first eight sets.

“I told them to just relax and to talk to each other,” Bull said. “It gets to a point where you can feel the tension when you’re sitting on the bench. I called that time out and let them know that it’s just a game, we’re here to learn and no one is perfect.”

Artesia was down 20-17 when Lee’s fourth kill gave the serve to Briseno where she ran off five straight points, four of them aces. A net serve and a double hit violation accounted for the final two points of the set. The victory could have been fed from motivation Artesia had stemming back from the third set of this past Monday’s match against La Habra. It was there that the Pioneers trailed the Highlanders 17-10 but fought back to cut the deficit to 24-22 after three straight aces from senior outside hitter Isabella Canlas.

“I definitely thought there was more communication in that second game [against Pioneer],” Bull said. “We were definitely talking, we were getting more excited. We were playing volleyball. We were making fewer mistakes than the other team.”

But all of that momentum quickly went away in the third set against Pio-neer when a 9-8 Artesia lead turned into

a 20-11 Titan advantage. Artesia never led in the fourth set and got as close as six points twice. Briseno led the Pioneers with a season-high 12 kills and seven aces while junior middle blocker Kyla Kelly added seven kills. Kelly also had the team’s first solo block this season in the third set to give Artesia a 9-8 lead.

Artesia opened the season last Friday against Whitney and fell to the Wildcats 25-7, 25-20, 25-12, collecting only 16 kills. Briseno had nine of them along with four aces while Kelly had five other kills. Against La Habra, the Pioneers scored six, 10 and 22 points and were led by Briseno and Kelly again who both had six kills. Artesia had two other kills in the match but had 11 aces with Canlas get-ting four while Bailey and Devera each had two.

“I had no idea that she is as young as she is,” Bull said of Briseno. “It’s surpris-ing; she’s definitely a volleyball player. But you can also tell she is a young vol-leyball player.”

The Pioneers will visit Paramount today, then begin Suburban League ac-tion on Tuesday with a road encounter at Bellflower, the key opponent that could decide who gets fourth place and the final automatic playoff bid from the league according to Artesia head coach Micah Burpo before the season started. Two days later, the Pioneers will travel to La Mirada.

“League is a whole different ballgame,” Bull said. “I hope that by that time we have been able to fix the little glitches that we see during preseason. Playing away is definitely going to help, just to see how they are when they are in a dif-ferent environment. I know the girls are really looking forward to it.”

shock and disbelief. “I knew from that day forward the country and my life, as a Los Angeles County Firefighter would be forever changed.” He said.

CerritosIn Cerritos residents and friends gath-

ered on the Civic Center lawn adjacent to the Veteran’s Memorial in an evening of Remembrance and Candlelight Me-morial honoring the victims and heroes affected by the terrorist attack on Sept. 11, 2001.

Pastor Ralph Veenstra of the New Life Community Church gave the invoca-tion followed by Girl Scout Troop 5023 leading the Pledge of Allegiance.

Captain Joe Gonzales paid tribute to the first responders and described the attack on the four sites that included the Twin Towers, the Pentagon and United Air Flight 93 over Pennsylvania, where the passengers fought back and caused the terrorists to fail in their goal at the

cost of the lives “Our nation came to-gether as one,” he said. “We let our en-emies know “Our flag will fly forever.”

Congresswoman Linda Sanchez said it was difficult to believe 10 years have passed following the terrorist attack and how the nation rallied together as one while mourning those who died. She said the country held together. “We showed the world we will not live in fear.” She concluded by saying 9-11 may have changed the world, but not America.

Assemblyman Tony Mendoza stated instead of showing fear, Americans stepped up to the plate to help those in need. “We pulled together in the last 10 years so our children can live the Ameri-can Dream.

Supervisor Don Knabe said American could never forget the attack and never forget the life changing experience. “We also can never forget the first responders and those on the front lines in far away countries defending our freedoms.

Hawaiian GardensThey gathered together in the Civic

Center, residents to honor those who died 10 years before in the terrorist at-tack that killed nearly 3,000 people. Mayor Mike Gomez said, “Many of us remember Pearl Harbor, the assassina-tion of President John Kennedy and Sept. 11, 2001. “We also remember where we were. Through it all America remained united and is still here.”

Community member Nestor Zelaya told those present “enemies can hurt us but they cannot defeat us.” He said the courage displayed that day on Sept. 11, 2001 was taller than any building we could construct.

L.A. County Fire Fighter/National Guard Chief Warrant Officer Clint Mosley said, “When we were punched, Americans stood strong. Our strength goes back to our communities.

Assistant Fire Chief Heinze described the violence that day as unjustified. “Our flag and nation stood tall and strengthened our love of country.

Assemblyman Mendoza said “This is a day of national remembrance. A day we will not forget.

Supervisor Knabe said, “Those who died and their family survivors are etched in our minds never to be forgot-tenl. They certainly will not.

the city has several set aside accounts in-cluding a rainy day account and the sports complex currently under construction at Fedde Middle School. He said the city’s finances are audited regularly and the au-ditors have given the city a clean bill of health.

The question about the money was first raised in City Manager Ernesto Marquez’ office by Councilmember’s Reynaldo Ro-driguez and Barry Bruce. According to the

two councilmembers, they asked about $4 million that they said was allegedly miss-ing. The city manager told them it wasn’t $4 million but $6 million. However the money was not missing; it was allocated to the Sports Complex set-aside account and did not show up in the city’s budget. Councilman Bruce went on to question the miscommunication concept.

Councilmember Victor Farfan said he wanted to make the situation clear to the public, where he said rumors were circulat-ing the money was missing. “The money is not missing,” he said. “It has never been lost. If anyting there was a miscommunica-tion, leading some to believe it was lost.” He said he wanted the public to understand it was never missing.

Councilmember Bruce commented if there are rumors, they originated from city hall, which was why he favored a fiscal au-dit of the city’s finances and an employee audit.

The council agreed to a fiscal audit at its previous meeting.

Casino ReportIn other business the Council approved

an amendment to an existing contract be-tween the city and Hogle-Ireland in the amount of $75,880 for the preparation of an environmental impact report [EIR] for the expansion of the Hawaiian Gardens Casino.

Responding to an inquiry from Coun-cilmember Reynaldo Rodriguez on wheth-er the casino would reimburse the city, Community Redevelopment Director Jo-seph Colombo said yes. He said the EIR document was well on it way as the over-all framework has been drafted along with several sections of the EIR. The draft sec-tion will be written upon the completion of the technical studies.

Colombo said draft section already completed include Cultural Resources and Hazards and Hazardous Materials. Other sections such as Traffic, Noise, Air Qual-ity, and CHG will be done as the technical

COMMUNITYNEWSstudies are finalized.

Sports ComplexCompletion of

Phase Once of the Sports Complex at Fedde Middle School was completed on June 7, 2011 at cost of $3.8 million. Direc-tor of Human Services Steve Gomez Phase One consists of a park-ing lot, pedestrian walkway, stadium seat-ing, a synthetic turf field, rubberized run-ning track, basketball/volleyball courts, fencing, irrigation and landscape.

Phase Two construction began on May 23 and should be completed sometime in November. Gomez said construction will consist of expansion of an existing park-ing lot, a pedestrian walkway, two baseball fields, concession stand, playground area, scoreboards, field lighting, fencing, ir-rigation and landscape. Estimated cost of Phase two is $2.9 million.

He said the Brick by Brick campaign where the city is reaching out to the com-munity whereby residents can purchase and customize before they are put into the ground at a cost of $75 each. They can also purchase bench engravings for $1,500. He said the idea was to get the community in-volved and be a part of history.

Councilman Bruce asked what the public response to the Brick by Brick pro-gram? Gomez said so far they have sold three benches but no bricks, adding that the bricks can be an ongoing project. Hopeful-ly, he said, “when the public sees the exist-ing engraved bricks in the ground they will want their names on a brick. He said it was an ongoing project.

Bruce said he noticed at the Fedde graduation the bleachers, which hold 500 people were over packed “Are we plan-ning to put additional bleachers in?” he asked. Gomez didn’t know.

The Council authorized an in-house study for the placement of two stop signs on 221st Street and Warhdam Avenue. A Petition with 240 signatures was submit-ted to the city asking for speed bumps to slow down speeding cars They cited the area continuously has children present from the nearby Helen Rosa Center [Head Start], Hawaiian Gardens Health Center, Lee Ware Game Room and the city’s public swimming pool .The council also indicated it would seek to have additional sheriff deputies patrolling the area.

and maintain parking at a City parking lot. Failure to pay the fee shall cause the revocation or suspension of any business license.

The council also approved an applica-tion for grant funds in the amount of $150,000 for rehabilitation of facilities in Artesia Park and A.J. Padelford Park including its Basketball Court The funds

would be available through the efforts of Los Angeles County Supervisor Don Knabe.

In her report to the council, Parks and Recreation Director Melissa Gobas said four project areas have been identified that would benefit from the grant. These in-clude all the bleachers at Artesia Park that do not meet the current safety standards for bleachers and need to be replaced. Es-timated cost of the project is $50,000.

The second project would be the re-surfacing of game courts at Artesia and A.J. Padelford Park at an estimated cost of $40,000 including one full basketball court and one handball court. The proj-ect also calls for replacing the perimeter wooden walls at the hockey rink and con-verting space to an area for soccer play.

Gobas said the Albert O. Little Com-munity Center kitchen facility is equipped with appliances bought 15 to 20 years ago that now require costly maintenance repairs and should be replaced. It also includes replacing parts of the existing walk-in refrigerator inclusive of a five-year warranty. Estimated cost is $20,000.

Three glass entry/exit double doors are proposed to replace existing doors to allow for an American Disabilities Act [ADA] power assisted function to the west side of the senior center and replacing ex-isting hollow metal doors. Estimated cost is $25,000.

The last project is retrofitting outdoor restrooms at Artesia Park at a cost of $15,000.

In other business the council approved the purchase of property located at 11825 168th St. by the city’s Housing Authority for mix use development with affordable housing and commercial. The site consists of approximately five acres and is zoned for commercial uses.

The council continued to its October meeting a request from Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors to join a collaborative effort to reduce the use pf plastic bags when shopping.

The County adopted a “Single-Use Bag Reduction and Recycling Program in 2008 that waste reduce plastic bag litter. A goal was established to decrease the disposal rate by 30 percent by July 1, 2010 and 65 percent by July 1, 2013. If the goal was not met, consideration would be given to ban plastic bags at affected stores.

The idea behind the ban is that plastic bag are hard to recycle, never break-down in landfills, and when introduced to ocean, contributes to gigantic gyres in the Pacific Ocean and eventually become toxic to sea life.
