Carver Elementary Parents Irate Over Lack of Communication

Flap Has To Do With The Cancellation Of Carver's Annual

Sixth Grade Science Camp.

By Tammye McDuff

Carver Elementary School and Carver Early Learning Academy are one of the fin-est schools within the city of Cerritos; the school has been a Magnet Learning Center for more than ten years.

The Magnet Program’s motto is ‘Learn-ing Today, Leading Tomorrow ‘ along with effective communication, obtaining and managing information, and being able to apply knowledge to real world problems.

However, if you had attended the last two ABCUSD board meetings and listened to Carver parents speaking during public comment, you would have to wonder if the motto was being followed.Sixth Grade Science Camp Cancelled

HMG-CN was told last month that there were some very unhappy parents at Carver in relation to the Sixth Grade Sci-ence Camp.

Local Cities Cope With State Drought Rules in Different WaysBy Rico Dizon

As the drought continues to plague California, cities in Southern CA have noticeably been taking varied approaches of their own to meet the state-mandated goals based on the community's per capi-tal use of water.

For Lakewood, the City Council ap-proved, at their May 26th meeting, a new ordinance that specifies two specific days a week in watering their yard. Residents of this city are now required to water only on household trash day and three days later for 10 minutes per station during the summer months of May through Septem-ber. Watering is limited to the cooler hours before 8 am and after 8 pm to reduce wa-ter loss by evaporation.

Watering days for the business sector will have to conform with the residential trash collection day in their specific neigh-borhood.

The new watering rules will take ef-fect immediately although the City Coun-cil directed the City Staff to engage in an

Citadel Outlet Owner Steve Craig Takes Advantage of His Commerce Council 'Relationships'By Brian Hews

The Commerce Casino is by far the largest tax revenue generator for the City of Commerce. The city receives half of all its revenue from the Casino, yet the Casino is always treated like the proverbial step-child when it comes to assistance from the City Council.

Meanwhile, the other company in Com-merce, one that gives 85% less in revenue to the city, the Citadel Outlet Mall, is given everything, and then some.

In February of this year, Hews Media Group-Community News learned that the Citadel Outlet Mall’s large double-faced digital signs located off the 5 freeway in Commerce were in violation of City, State and Federal outdoor advertising laws and that Mayor Tina Baca Del Rio, Mayor pro tem Lilia Leon, Councilmember Ivan Alta-mirano, Councilman Joe Aguilar, and City Attorney Eddie Olivo have been aware of the violations yet failed to take action.

At a February City Council meeting, they tried to cover their tracks by passing a sign ordinance amendment that brazenly read, “Conversion Of Citadel Digital Dis-play Signs To Off-Site Digital Signs.”

This was months after Craig held a fundraiser to pay for Commerce Mayor pro

tem Tina Baca Del Rio’s $26,000 FPPC fine and just after Craig donated $40,000 to defeat Hugo Argumedo and Denise Robles in this year’s City Council race.

In reviewing the new section, HMG-CN confirmed that the City Council approved the amendment to the exclusive benefit of the Citadel and Steve Craig.

The code exempted the Citadel as the only business in the City to be free from most sign requirements.

The proposed code gave digital bill-board permits to the Citadel despite the 720-foot rule, which has been the law in Commerce for over 30 years.

Many residents are also angered over the Citadel Bus deal that was spearheaded by Councilman Altamirano.

In that deal, the city obtained a bus that is used almost exclusively to shuttle Cita-del customers back and forth.

Altamirano said the bus would “pay for itself, with no impact on the city budget.”

Documents obtained by HMG-CN show the city is paying for the bulk of the expenses of the bus to the direct benefit of Steve Craig and his Citadel Outlet.

Now, once again the City Council, con-sisting of Mayor Lilia Leon, Mayor pro tem Tina Baca Del Rio, Councilmembers

30 YEAR-OLD COLD CASE MURDER OF LA PALMA WOMAN SOLVED

A 65-year-old man was charged today with strangling a 30-year-old woman in her La Palma apartment more than 40 years ago.

Larry Stephens of Santa Rosa is accused of killing Patricia Ross on the evening of Dec. 11, 1974, Senior Deputy District Attorney Larry Yellin said.

The Orange County Crime Lab played a key role in solving the case by matching the blood at the crime scene to Stephens, who had to submit a DNA sample in March when he was arrested on suspicion of domestic violence, the prosecutor said.

“They're the reason this case has been solved,” Yellin said of the crime lab experts.

At the time of her death, Ross was in the process of selling her plant store busi-ness to take a job at Hughes Aircraft Co. She was getting ready for a double date when her killer attacked, Yellin said.

When Ross did not show up for the date, one of her friends went to check on her and found her naked body in her bedroom, Yellin said. Her small dog was found inside a drawer in the bedroom, he said.

Investigators suspect the dog may have bitten the killer because there were tiny smears of blood left behind, Yellin said.Stephens is being held in the Sono-ma County Jail, with no Orange County arrival or arraignment date immediately scheduled.

La Mirada High School Students Take Part in “Every 15 Minutes” Program

La Mirada High School students at-tended an educational program this past week extolling the devastating impacts

drinking and driving can have on friends, families and community.

“This program is a tremendous coop-erative effort involving La Mirada High School, the City’s Public Safety Team, Los Angeles County Sheriff’s and Fire Department, and California Highway Pa-trol,” says Safety Education Officer Mary Cipres. “The overall goals are to discour-age underage drinking, especially drink-ing and driving.”

During the first day of the program, about 27 students and one teacher were pulled out of class every 15 minutes by a member of the City of La Mirada’s Public Safety Team and a volunteer dressed as the grim reaper. The dramatic visual exit of the student leaving class with the grim reaper was meant to illustrate the National Highway Transportation Safety statistic that someone dies in an alcohol related collision every 15 minutes.

The group of students was then taken to the White Emerson Mortuary in Uptown Whittier for an up-close look at a person’s final stop after death. The students then returned to La Mirada where they spent the night at the La Mirada Activity Center. During their night away from home, they completed alcohol education activities, watched anti-drunk driving videos and listened to a presentation by Deputy Cre-ta. They read emotional good-bye letters

A drunk driving traffic collision was simulated during filming for the “Every 15 Minutes” program at La Mirada High School. La Mirada High School students volunteered to play the roles of teens involved in a fatal car collision as part of the program.

A student reacts to the scene of the crash after being involved in a drunk driving traffic collision. The emotional, two-day program shows students the devastating impacts of drinking and driving on their friends, families and community.

written to them by their parents and also wrote good-bye letters to their parents.

The following day, juniors and seniors attended an assembly at La Mirada High School where they heard stories from people affected by a fatal, alcohol-related auto accident and watched an anti-drunk driving film featuring some of their class-mates who had volunteered to act in the film. The film depicts a group of teens who consume alcohol at a house party

and are later involved in a fatal auto ac-cident which kills one of their classmates. It shows the fate of the teenage driver who is taken into custody and the accident’s impact on family and friends as they at-tend a funeral ceremony for the deceased victim.

“These incidents are common criminal offenses and are usually caused by regu-lar, responsible people who made a poor, impulsive decision while under the influ-ence of alcohol,” says Norwalk-La Mira-da Sheriff’s Captain Curtis Jensen. “With this program, students are urged to make smart decisions now to avoid these long term ramifications.”

Friday May 29, 2015 was the day that 103 smiling, laughing, ecstatic, wonderful kids received their much needed glasses. They can now perform better in school and in other areas of their lives thanks to Rotary Club of Bellflower bringing Vi-sion to Learn to Washington Elementary in Bellflower.

This journey started last year when Dave Davis, President of the Rotary Club of Bellflower saw a need at a Caring Con-nections Meeting. Several service organi-zations offered eye exams and glasses to counselors if they were needed, “all of the counselors raise their hands,” recalled Da-vis, “I stayed after the meeting and spoke

with them.” As it turned out, seven Title One schools in Bellflower have a great need for eye care.

Exploring the issue further, the Rotary club partnered with the program Vision to Learn. “After some research,” states Davis, “the club was able to have Vi-sion2Learn bring their service to the city of Bellflower, if the Club could raise the funds.” The Club chose the largest Title One School, Washington Elementary, as the first of seven to procure the program. Vision2Learn pre-screened 140 kids, find-ing 103 in need of glasses.

“What a wonderful journey it has been,” stated Davis, “We hope to continue on to the other schools.”

BRING A USED OIL FILTER & GET A NEW ONE FOR FREE

The City of Bellflower will be holding a used motor oil filter exchange event on June 13, 2015 from 9:00am to 1:00pm at AutoZone Auto Parts, 9031 Alondra Blvd. In exchange for their used motor oil filters, residents will receive new motor oil filters free of charge (limit two per resident, while supplies last).

"Used motor oil and filters are highly recyclable," says Kevin Sales, Bellflower’s Used Oil Recycling Program coordinator. "The City wants to make used motor oil and filter recycling as easy for the Do-It-Yourselfer as possible. The used oil and filter will be recycled; and you can redeem your filter voucher immediately for a free oil filter from AutoZone Auto Parts."

The City of Bellflower encourages all residents to participate in the event and to recycle their used motor oil and filters. Supplementary educational materials will be available as well as additional promo-tional items for eligible participants.

La Mirada Offers Water Conservation TipsLa Mirada City officials are offering tips to assist residents in saving water and making water conservation a part of their daily routine. With the severe drought continuing, the State of California has en-acted additional water regulations. Until recently, guidelines for water conservation have been voluntary. Now, all communities are expected to comply with a statewide goal of 25 percent water reduction. Saving water doesn’t have to be difficult. There are a number of easy ways to save water every day. Most household water use comes from watering outdoor lawns and gardens. Simple actions taken can include not watering the lawn dur-ing and 48 hours following a rain storm, not watering the lawn in the heat of the day, and adjusting sprinkler timers to water during the early morning or at night. When washing a vehicle use a hose that has an automatic shut-off nozzle or device that will stop the flow of water when not in use. Only use drinking water in a fountain when the water is recirculated and do not water outdoor landscapes in a way that causes water to run-off onto

Seniors Club celebrated the 17th Anniver-sary of the club’s founding at Los Coyotes Country Club in Buena Park on Saturday, May 30, 2015.

Co-Chairs of the Anniversary Party Ann Kho and Carol Roxas were very pleased that 111 people came to the party to enjoy the food and the entertainment. Ann said that she appreciated the help of Lilia Fischer and her husband for recom-mending and securing the Country Club for the club’s party.

The 17th Anniversary Party Commit-tee worked hard together plan for the food,

tickets, snacks, table decorations, stage decorations, door prizes and entertain-ment. Glenda Ujiie and her Decorations Committee gathered flowers and greenery which were used to prepare beautiful Ha-waiian floral decorations. Ann Kho also added items for the centerpieces for the table decorations.

Ivan Altamirano and Oralia Reballo, are favoring Craig and the Citadel by enter-ing into a contract to hire two L.A. County Deputy Sheriffs to work exclusively inside the Citadel Outlet Mall.

With only Councilman Argumedo ob-jecting that Craig should pay for both depu-ties, the remaining Council voted for a deal where Craig would pay for one deputy,

Commerce will pay for half of the other, with the remaining balance picked up by a grant from the state.

But, after one year, to the ire of Ar-gumedo, the City would pay the entire sal-ary plus benefits of one deputy who will work exclusively at the Citadel Outlet Mall.

The cost to the city, including salary and benefits, is well over $110,000.

Argumedo argued vehemently before the vote for Craig to pay for both deputies but to no avail.

Many attribute the actions of the cur-

rent City Council to a “quid pro quo”, that is, a “something for something” deal with Craig.

Earlier this year, HMG CM revealed during the 2015 City Council campaign that Craig set up an Independent Expen-diture Committee and donated $40,000 to defeat eventual winner Hugo Argumedo and incumbent Denise Robles.

Argumedo garnered the most votes and Robles lost in a close race to the Craig sup-ported Oralia Reballo.

And now Reballo and the Council are paying him back.

comment the day before on a Hews Media Group-Community News investigation that revealed 360 to be a very questionable organization.

Acting on a tip of a possible kickback scheme, HMG-CN began to investigate 360 and found several suspicious prob-lems with the company.

Company Suspended by StateA search on the California Secretary of

State’s website of 360 Business Consult-ing, Inc. revealed that the Mission Viejo based company was “Suspended” by the Franchise Tax Board (FTB) sometime be-fore 2010.

HMG-CN called 360 CEO Bridget DiRico this past Monday June 1 for com-ment. DiRico sent an email saying, “we suspended it because we changed our corporate name to 360 BC Group, Inc., our fictitious business name (FBN), also known as a DBA, is 360 Business Con-sulting, our new corporate name is 360 BC Group, Inc.”

But Kelly Aviles, an attorney based out of La Verne, told HMG-CN, “I don’t be-lieve that a company can voluntarily sus-pend itself.”

Aviles sent a link to the California Sec-retary of State’s website that said, “there are three primary ways an organization may become suspended: failure to file your Statement of Information with the Secretary of State's (SOS) office, failure to pay an amount due, failure to file any past due tax returns with the Franchise Tax Board (FTB).

FBN/DBA ExpiredIn her June 1 email to HMG-CN, Ms.

DiRico indicated that, “our FBN/DBA is 360 Business Consulting.”

However, an examination of the Or-ange County Clerk’s website on June 1 re-vealed that the 360 Business Consulting’s DBA expired 4 months ago in Feb. 2015.

HMG-CN emailed DiRico on June 1 informing her the DBA was expired.

A visit to the Orange County Clerk’s website the next day on June 2 showed

that the DBA had been renewed.DiRico told HMG-CN the next day,

“we had sent in our $23 check and form in January of this year. Until you mentioned it, we hadn't noticed that the check had not been cashed. We contacted the County, they had the paperwork but not the check, and no one knows why. We dropped off a check and they renewed it at once.”

Website Design Company Without a Website Address (WWW)

DiRico wrote to HMG-CN that the rea-son for the FTB suspension was because the company changed their corporate name to 360 BC Group, Inc.

DiRico’s company owns the name www.360businessconsulting.com, and that is the main website for the company even though DiRico claimed the company changed its name to 360 BC Group.

A competent business, once they filed their corporate name, would reserve the web address under that name, especially a website marketing company such as 360 BC Group.

But a search of the web address names www.360bcgroup.com and www.360bcgroup.net reveals they are avail-able for purchase; www.360bcgroupinc.com and www.360bcgroupinc.net were also available.

When informed the names were avail-able DiRico told HMG-CN, “we market and have URLs for our brands and prod-ucts. 360 BC Group, Inc. is not a product nor a brand, so the URL is of no concern to us. It will never be.”

Tainted Selection ProcessHMG-CN subsequently inquired about

how 360 was selected and was told that a three-person team inside CB interviews companies and rates their service presen-tation on a numerical scale.

It was revealed that Priscilla Segura and Albert Plimpton were two of the in-terviewers, with CB GM Kevin Hunt re-fusing to reveal the third interviewer, only saying that “he was from the Metropolitan Water District.”

Segura is in her mid-twenties and is the Public Affairs Specialist at CB, Albert Plimpton in the head of Information Tech-nology at the water agency.

HMG-CN asked DiRico for the docu-

ments her company sent in response to the Request for Proposal for Website Services from CB.

DiRico responded, "as a privately-owned company we do not disclose any information on our clients, finances or op-erations, other than what is mandated by the state. Because Central Basin is a gov-ernment agency, they have reporting and public disclosures requirements. Please contact them for a copy of the RFP, pro-posals, agreements, etc., and they are in a better situation to provide whatever infor-mation is legally required, or they wish to disclose.”

When told about the interviewers, CB Director Art Chacon commented, “we al-ready have a great employee in Albert, he does a great job, our website is award-win-ning, why are we looking to contract our services out at $150,000?”

Bogus Business OfficeWhen informed that HMG-CN was in-

vestigating 360, GM Hunt and Public Af-fairs Manager Joseph Legaspi sent docu-ments via email in an apparent attempt to show 360 as a responsible and organized company.

HMG-CN was sent 360’s business li-cense, which had a business address in the city of Orange, CA.

But on closer inspection, 360’s ad-dress, 307 E. Chapman Ave. in Orange-with no suite number-is the headquarters for the Orange Chamber of Commerce and other smaller businesses.

HMG-CN went to the building and could not find 360 Business Consulting.

Two tenants in the building were ques-tioned and had never seen nor heard of 360 Business Consulting.

HMG-CN called the Orange Business License office and asked how long 360 Business Consulting had listed the address in Orange.

The representative indicated that 360 first took out a business license on Dec. 3, 2013, over 18 months ago.

HMG-CN emailed DiRico about the office in Orange, she responded by saying, “I am not certain why and where you are going with all of this, but I think you are taking this somewhere that is not backed up by the facts. As such, I will no longer communicate with you on this subject.”

CERRITOS SEES SEASON HALTED ON RARE GAME-ENDING TRIPLE PLAYBy Loren Kopff

GRAND TERRACE-Triple plays in high school softball are hard to come by, but a triple play to end a game is unheard of. Cerritos High found out the hard way against Grand Terrace in a California In-terscholastic Federation-Southern Section Division III quarterfinal game last Thurs-day afternoon.

In the top of the seventh inning, soph-omore shortstop Lailoni Mayfield reached on an error, senior center fielder Megan Darling connected on a line drive single to center and senior pitcher Jennifer Iseri was walked to load the bases with none out. On the very next pitch, freshman first baseman Kiarra Pope flied out to Morgan Parsons, who made a juggling catch inch-es above the ground.

The catch would have been good enough to send Mayfield home, but one of the field umpires ruled that Darling and Mayfield both left their respective bases early, thus ending the game which went to Grand Terrace, 3-2. Cerritos head coach Mike Freeman tried to get an explanation from the umpires but was only told that the runners left early.

CIF-SOUTHERN SECTION DIV. III SOFTBALL PLAYOFFS“That’s the worst call I’ve ever seen in

my life,” an irate Freeman said. “I’ve been coaching softball for 20 years and that’s the worst ump call I’ve ever seen. My run-ner tagged [up] at third because I told her to stay there until [Parsons] caught it. I’m not sure about the runner [at second] but I know the runner from third tagged [up].

“I was concerned about third base and I know she tagged [up],” he continued. “So you can’t call her out, too. If you call Me-gan out, that’s two outs and Lo still scores; the game is tied. So that’s just [a] terrible [call]. It’s an awful call; they shouldn’t do that to these kids.”

The juggling act from Parsons may have confused the Cerritos runners, ac-cording to Grand Terrace head coach Bobby Flores, who saw the play in a dif-ferent way.

“Everyone is going to say it’s my player, but I really did think it was a clean catch,” Flores said. “I think [the runners] just jumped the gun. Their coach thought it was dropped and that’s why their play-ers took off running.”

Cerritos (20-8) was trailing 3-0 after four innings before finally getting on the board against the top ranked team in the division. With one out, Mayfield reached on an error and advanced on an infield hit from Darling. An errant throw on the play allowed Mayfield to reach third and

Gahr Comes Up Short in Semifinals Against Division’s Top Ranked TeamBy Loren Kopff

With the support of several high school softball fans and players from the general area cheering the team on, Gahr High was hoping to advance to its first California Interscholastic Federation-Southern Sec-tion divisional championship game since 1989. But the Gladiators, who scored once in the bottom of the seventh inning, left the tying run on first and fell to top ranked Grand Terrace in a Division III semifinal game.

Among the players who came on to support Gahr were from Cerritos, still hurting from a game-ending triple play that resulted in a Grand Terrace 3-2 win last Thursday in the quarterfinals. In that game, the Titans jumped out to a 3-0 lead en route to the victory. In the semifinals, Grand Terrace again had a 3-0 lead thanks to a pair of solo home runs from Morgan Parsons before the co-San Gabriel Val-ley League champions drew to within a run. But Gahr head coach Shawn Quarles found the Titans, with only one senior on their team, to be a tough foe despite hav-ing an advantage of seeing how they did against Cerritos.

“I knew they were a good team,” Quarles said. “I knew [Melanie Olmos] is a great pitcher. I know they hit the ball and they play aggressive defense. So, it is what it is. They outplayed us today.

“They came through when they needed to and I heard that their No. 6 batter was a good hitter,” Quarles added. “She had a lot of pop in that bat.”

Following Parsons’ first home run, Danielle Rico doubled and came home on a base hit from Alyssa Martinez. But the fourth ranked Gladiators, who didn’t have a hit through the first three innings, struck back in the fourth when freshman right fielder Madison Huskey singled to left and moved to second on an error. Following the fourth of eight strikeouts from Olmos, sophomore catcher Alyssa Kumiyama cracked a two-run home run over the right centerfield fence. It was the fourth round tripper of the season for the University of South Carolina signee, tops on the team. She now has 14 home runs in two seasons at Gahr, tied with sophomore third base-man Malia Quarles for most four-baggers in school history since 2000.

“We were just trying to get a good pitch; trying to stay ahead in the count,”

after Darling stole second, Melanie Olmos walked Iseri to load the bases. Another walk, this time to Pope, brought in May-field and senior right fielder Heather Cam-eron’s base hit to the left field gap plated Darling.

“They have heart but we made little mistakes,” Freeman said. “The game should have never been that close. Actu-ally, we should have been up 2-0 after the second inning. Like I was explaining to them, little things like that always come back to haunt you.”

The Suburban League champion Lady Dons, ranked ninth in the division, had several chances to take an early lead. With Cameron on first with one out in the top of the second, senior left fielder Madison Lee was robbed of a hit when Marissa Jauregui dove forward in center to deny Lee. On the very next pitch, Cameron was caught stealing. Cerritos then left two runners on base in the third and stranded three more runners in the fourth without the benefit of a hit.

“You have breaks in a softball game and that was our opportunity to break the game open and we didn’t really do it,” Freeman said. “I can go back and I have 40 plays in my head that lost this game. I don’t look at [the seventh inning] as los-ing this game at all. We lost this game way

Cerritos 14-Under All-Stars Unable to Hold Lead in SemifinalsBy Loren Kopff

HUNTINGTON BEACH-Less than a week after winning the Orange Can-yon Memorial Day Classic, the Cerritos Girls Softball Association 14-Under All-Stars were a strike away from advancing to the championship game of the South Huntington Beach Surf City Classic. But West Grove’s Alyssa Canales laced a bases clearing double down the left field line and rallied for a 4-3 win last Sunday afternoon at Edison High.

The game was scoreless through the first five innings as pitcher Cassie Perry-man was throwing a no-hitter until Sydnee Burns singled off of Perryman’s glove with one out in the fifth inning. Before that, she had struck out eight batters and walked four. A defining moment came in the sec-ond inning when Burns fouled off 12 balls and forced Perryman to throw 16 pitches before she fouled out to first baseman Cait-lyn Azevedo on the 17th pitch.

Still, West Grove had only one runner reach third base through the first five in-nings while Cerritos had a chance to score early. With two outs in the first, shortstop Kara Spoolstra singled and went to third when catcher Makayla Garcia was safe on an error. But center fielder Julia Enzmann

popped up to second to end the threat. In the fifth, Samantha Monroe was stranded at third after she was walked, went to second on a wild pitch and moved to third on a one out groundout.

Playing under the international tie-breaker rules in the sixth with third base-man Dalia Morones at second, Perryman singled to put runners on the corners. Two batters later, Garcia reached on an error which allowed Morones and Perryman to come home. Following a groundout, Azevedo singled to bring in Garcia.

In the bottom half of the inning and with one out after Sydney Tengan reached on a fielder’s choice, Perryman walked Ashley Siordia. Two batters later, Erica Lat was safe on an infield hit with Tengan scoring. Perryman then walked Chloe Gil-bert to load the bases before Canales came through with the hit that found enough space between Morones and the left field line.

Cerritos had previously defeated Te-mecula Valley 10-3 before losing to Santa Monica 3-2 in pool play action last Satur-day before knocking off Mission Viejo 8-2 in the quarterfinals last Saturday night.

Also in the tournament, the 8-Under All-Stars blanked Penasquitos 3-0 and tied

Temecula Valley 1-1 in pool play action while the 10-Under All-Stars remained winless in two summer tournaments after falling to Torrance 10-0, Temecula valley 6-1 and Palos Verdes 12-9 last Saturday.TRAVEL BALL SOFTBALL

The first major showcase tournament of the summer takes place this weekend when a plethora of teams will participate in the Triple Crown Sports Zoom Into June tournament, to be played at various sites in the Inland Empire. The Artesia Punishers 18-Under Gold team managed by Bob Me-dina will have one game tonight, two on Saturday and two more on Sunday, all at Diamond Valley Park in Hemet.

Dave Lindsay’s Artesia Punishers 18-Under team will play three games on Saturday and two more on Sunday at Big League Dreams Park in Cathedral City while the 16-Under team under the tutelage of Armando Canizales will also have three games on Saturday and two on Sunday at Big League Dreams Park in Riverside while Danny Guerrero’s Artesia Punish-ers 14-Under team will play tonight, then two more the next two days at Big League Dreams Park in Perris.

Several other area players from Cer-ritos, Gahr, Norwalk and Valley Christian who play for the Cal A’s and Downey Nemesis Elite Gold teams will also be in the tournament.

The Punishers 14 and 16-Under teams competed in the Premier Girls Fastpitch Las Vegas National Qualifier last weekend and had short stays. The 14-Under team lost two of its three games it played while the 16-Under squad went two and out.

NEWS AND NOTES FROM PRESS ROWHMG-CN Sports

Editor Loren Kopff

extensive public information campaign about the new ordinance, making use of every conceivable form of communica-tion there is.

"Lakewood has great community spir-it. If we each do our part to reach our con-servation goal we will be successful," said Lakewood's long-time Water Resources Director Jim Glancy. "Let us show Sacra-mento that we can do this. In the process, please be courteous and helpful toward your neighbors so we get through this in a positive way befitting us a community."

For La Palma, on the other hand, the city's new water conservation proposal presented to the City Council last June 2, focuses more on car-washing and pools. "Our goal is to simplify and clarify spe-cific sections of the Water Conservation Ordinance so that it is easier to understand and achieve compliance," said La Pal-ma's Community Services Director Mike Belknap.

The proposal, which is still awaiting the City Council approval pending re-quest for more data, removed restrictions on specific days and hours but instead requires the use of hand-held bucket and hose equipped with an auto-closing noz-zle. Should stricter measures be required, the proposed ordinance suggested no car washing allowed unless health and safety of public is affected.

For pools and spas, the city staff rec-ommended that maintenance of water level be allowed up to one foot only per week. Refilling pool beyond one foot will require a pool cover to be installed. All new pools will require a pool cover.

The new water conservation proposal for La Palma included a lawn and garden demonstration that will replace 7,900 sq. ft. of lawn with artificial turf taking ad-vantage of the Public Agency turf removal rebates. Along with this, is the suggestion to install a California native demonstra-tion garden that will include the planting of drought-tolerant plants and use of high-ly-efficient irrigation systems. Estimated cost for this twin project would be from $50,000 to $60,000 per the report.

before that.”The Titans scored all of their runs in the

fourth with one out. The big blow was a two-run line drive double to the right field gap from Danielle Rico. That came a pitch after Parsons brought home Alexis Lopez.

Grand Terrace had entered the game batting .454 with 299 hits, including 78 doubles and 41 home runs. But Iseri, who along with Cameron will be taking their talents to the University of Hawai’i, al-lowed just three hits in the game.

“I thought she threw well,” Freeman said. “Even in the inning that they got the three runs, we had a base on balls and an error. So, she was still throwing well at that point. She hung a few, but everyone does. I thought she pitched very well to-day against a lineup like that.”

“[Iseri’s] a great little pitcher,” Flores said. “What she has is that back door curve ball that comes out and just gets on the outside of that corner. I already know about her. Our right fielder Morgan is go-ing to Hawai’i with her, so they know each other. We knew it was going to be a pitch-ing duel. I can see why Cerritos got here. They have a good team.”

Cerritos, which got four hits, was hop-ing to face city rival Gahr in the semifinals, played this past Tuesday. It would have been the first trip to the semifinals since 2000 when Cerritos won the second of its back to back Division II championships. Still, the Lady Dons, who will lose seven seniors to graduation, won 20 games for the second straight season. The last time that occurred was in 1999 and 2000. The game also marked the last for Freeman, who is stepping down after a brief career at Cerritos.

“This has been a blast coaching this group,” Freeman said. “When you have girls who are like sponges, it’s fun…when you don’t have the so-called superstar kids and the kids are eating up everything you say. It’s always fun to coach kids like that. So I had a great time coaching this team. And the seniors were awesome the whole time.”

Shawn Quarles said of the fourth inning. “We know that sometimes [Olmos] has problems with her control and that she walks a lot of batters. But I’m real proud of my girls. They battled to the end and we had a great season.”

Gahr (24-8) had a chance to tie or even take the lead in the sixth. With one out, freshman shortstop Dejanae Davis hit a flare that bounced where the dirt and grass portions meet behind the shortstop posi-tion. Then with two outs, Olmos walked Malia Quarles before striking out Kumi-yama.

In the top of the seventh, the Titans got a huge insurance run when Destini Peck reached on an error and was replaced by courtesy runner Alexis Lopez. Olmos singled to right and after a groundout held Lopez at third, Parsons singled to center.

Gahr rallied in its half of the frame when junior center fielder Alyssa Cuffia, who has been hot both offensively and defensively in the postseason, hit a rocket that glanced off of Parsons’ glove and went all the way into foul territory down the first base line. Cuffia motored all the way to third where she came home on a fielder’s choice from senior left fielder Sa-brina Quarles.

Senior pitcher Destiny Vasquez, who will be attending Eastern Michigan Uni-versity in the fall, struggled with her pitch count early on but settled down towards the latter innings. She gave up 10 hits, struck out six and walked one. The 10 hits are the most the Gahr pitching staff had yielded since Mar. 10 and only the fourth time all season long the Gladiators had given up double digits in hits. Vasquez also got some nifty defensive catches be-hind her, including Cuffia who had six putouts including a sliding catch to end the fifth when Grand Terrace had runners at second and third.

“I thought she did a great job,” Shawn Quarles said. “I thought that she was what we had to go with and I thought she pitched a great game. So there was no rea-son to think about anything. Destiny’s our best pitcher, so we were putting our best foot forward and that’s what we were do-ing.”

The Gladiators, who had their high-est win total since 2007 (24-5) won three playoff games in the same season for the first time since 1989 and only the second time in school history. Since advancing to the quarterfinals in 2008, Gahr has won a total of four playoff games. The loss also marked the final high school game for six seniors, including Brianna Besenty, Deidra Genera, Celeste Gonzalez and Deja Portillo.

“I think we overachieved,” Shawn Quarles said. “Most of all, the girls had a very positive season and I think they learned a lot, not only about softball, but they learned a lot about themselves. They learned how to focus and how to apply themselves and to really fight through adversity even when it’s just social adver-sity.”

HMG-CN won four of the prestigious Press Club Awards in 2012 and 2013.

In 2012, HMG-CN won 1st place in the Investigative Series category for its exclu-sive expose on Assessor John Noguez in what turned out to be the biggest financial scandal in Los Angeles history.

As a result of the series, Noguez was arrested on bribery and corruption charges and is awaiting trial.

A number of other arrests were made, including Tax Agent Ramin Salari and Mark McNiel one of Noguez’ deputies.

Noguez was charged with 30 felony counts, including four counts of accepting bribes; five counts of perjury; two counts of conspiracy; and 19 counts of misappro-priation by a public officer. The complaint alleges the fraud and embezzlement ex-ceeded $500,000.

If convicted as charged, Noguez faces up to 38 years in state prison.

Salari was charged with 59 felony counts, including 24 counts of bribing an executive officer; two counts of con-spiracy; 19 counts of misappropriation; seven counts of embezzlement; and seven counts of grand theft.

If convicted, he faces up to 60 years in state prison.

McNeil was charged with 20 felony counts, including one count of conspiracy and 19 counts of misappropriation by a public officer.

If convicted, he faces up to 29 years in state prison.

Wholesale institutional changes were also made at the Assessor’s office to eradi-cate future abuses of the system.

The series also garnered a Pulitzer Prize nomination for HMG-CN.

HMG-CN took home 1st place in 2013 for Best News Feature entitled “Under-cover FBI Agent Rocky Patel Used Dal Rae in Pico Rivera to Stage Calderon Sting Operation.”

HMG-CN also took home two 2nd place awards in 2013 for Hard News and Investigative Series.

On their website the Press Club stated, “this is proving to be the most competi-tive year in the Los Angeles Press Club’s recent memory with close to a thousand entries. So if there was ever a year when it is an honor just to be nominated, this is it.”

The awards will be held June 28, 2915 at the Millennium Biltmore Hotel in downtown Los Angeles.

The 57th Southern California Journal-ism Awards will be dedicated to Rick Or-lov, Al Martinez and Stan Chambers.

Each year, all fifth grade students plan for the much-anticipated Sixth Grade Sci-ence Camp.

The Science Camp is fairly expensive, and some parents have taken advantage of the ABC and not paid for the annual excur-sion.

But, with no notice sent out, fifth grade parents discovered that Science Camp for the 2015-2016 sixth grade class had been cancelled.

The cancellation had to do with the cost of the camp and its effect on the school’s budget.

An email dated May 12 from Carver parent Natalie Torres to Carver teachers Elaine Kimura and Robert Wheelis de-scribed a “robo phone call” placed to all parents on the evening of May 11.

The phone call invited fifth grade par-ents to attend a meeting two days later to discuss the cancellation of 2015-2016 Sci-ence Camp.

Torres requested that an email also be sent to parents, stating that some did not receive the call.

The May 13 meeting was held, attended by Carver Principal Deborah Berlyn, who told the parents that teachers were “hav-ing difficulty collecting money for Science Camp.”

Another parent at Carver, Elizabeth Martinez, sent an email to Ms. Golden a Carver sixth grade teacher and member of the Teachers Union Board of Directors on May 17th saying, “the position teach-ers had been put in was regretful and that I, along with many other parents, would like the opportunity for our children to attend science camp next year.”

Martinez and the parents wanted to take charge of the process so everyone could at-tend the camp.

Martinez further stated that Berlyn seemed open to the idea because the teach-ers were very upset and might not want to collect the money.

Martinez added, “I would like to as-sure you that we are committed to doing as much of the work as we are allowed to do. We have already received commitments to pay by May 29, 2015 and commitments for donations of $400.” Martinez attached a survey that had gone out to parents, re-questing that Golden give feedback and share thoughts on the matter.

A phone call was placed to Berlyn Friday, May 15th by Martinez to discuss teacher’s input on the camp cancellation. Martinez told HMG-CN that she did not immediately receive a response to her phone call.

Given the lack of communication, Mar-tinez, along with several other parents, went to the May 19th ABCUSD School Board meeting to address their concerns.

Six days passed, and Carver Parents United could wait no longer. On Monday, May 25th an email was sent to ABCUSD board members and Carver Elementary teachers once again expressing their con-cerns.

The letter stated that parents had been left in the dark regarding the Science Camp decision-making process. The letter also recommended a timeline with specific dates for payments and collections.

“We would like to work closely with our children’s teachers so that they are not burdened by the logistics and can focus on curriculum and instruction. This will give us enough time to assess the needs of the 5th grade families. We want to have access to the record keeping on Science Camp at any time, so that we know how much money we will need to raise. We want to be involved throughout the process. We urge you to please allow Carver parents to be involved.”

The email was forwarded to ABCUSD Board President Maynard Law, V.P. Olym-pia Chen, Clerk Armin Reyes, and Board Members Lynda Johnson, Celia Spitzer, Sophia Tse, Soo Yoo, and Lynda Johnson The email was also forwarded to Berlyn.

Martinez received a reply from Board Member Lynda Johnson on May 26. John-son stated that other parents had contacted her regarding concerns about the sixth grade camp.

Johnson wrote, “I certainly understand the issues you are going through and I am sure there will be a positive outcome. Please keep me posted on any updates and I will also follow up with the Superintendent.”

Carver Parents United also received a response from ABC Superintendent Dr. Mary Sieu stating that Principal Berlyn will convene a meeting with all incoming sixth grade parents regarding the Science Camp. Sieu encouraged that further ques-tions be directed to Principal Berlyn or Dr. Cheryl Bodger, Director of Schools.

Dr. Sieu wrote Martinez in an email, “after speaking with Principal Berlyn, she would like to meet with you personally to go over the process for the 6th Grade Camp next year. I would highly recommend that you meet with Dr. Cheryl Bodger and Prin-cipal Berlyn together.”

Martinez replied the next day saying, “thank you for informing me about the meeting, but Berlyn has not contacted me yet.”

Martinez also stated that she attempted to contact Berlyn without success.

Finally on May 28th Berlyn wrote an email to Martinez saying, “…therefore, with the busy week that we are having, we will send out the survey in June as I stated in the letter that was sent to all fifth grade parents. After we receive the surveys back, I will schedule a parent meeting to share the results and the next steps. I appreciate hearing your recommendations. I under-stand that you have been sending emails to teachers, parents, board members, and dis-trict officials regarding some concerns that you have. If you would like to schedule a meeting, I would be happy to meet and ad-dress your concerns.”

Angered, Martinez emailed Sieu stating that she was not interested in meeting with Berlyn or Bodger in a private meeting be-hind closed doors.

Martinez recommended in the past that Berlyn hold a public parent meeting where everyone would be able to receive the same information and have the opportunity to openly ask questions and address issues.

Then on May 28 Berlyn sent a letter to fifth grade parents addressing the issue of science camp, the issue of collecting mon-ies, what families would be attending, and who would be able to pay the full or partial cost of the camp.

On June 1st, Martinez received an email from Bodger stating that Dr. Sieu had received a formal complaint and that Bodger and her meet.

Martinez replied that same day that all parents should be involved in any meeting.

Bodger responded June 2nd emphasiz-ing, “I'd like to start the process by speaking with you and getting more information.”

In her response Martinez thanked Bodger for investigating the complaint and that all parents should be included in any communication.

Martinez then said Berlyn sent a letter saying, “the final decision will be made at the end of September. If we have collected all the money by that time, I will sign the contract to attend camp.”

“Considering that the funding of this

trip is controversial,’ writes Martinez, “we are asking Mrs. Berlyn to put a timeline in effect for payment due dates, we are trying to make sure that school budgets aren’t im-pacted, and that the teachers don’t bear any additional responsibilities. We are frustrat-ed that we’re having such a difficult time

trying to get clear answers.” Martinez said that a parent survey had

finally been sent, but she told HMG-CN that she, along with other parents from Carver Parents United, did not receive this survey.

At the ABCUSD board meeting held on June 2nd, parents once again joined to file a formal complaint. Diana DelaTorre, a sixth grade parent, shared her concerns with the cancellation of the outdoor science camp.

DelaTorre stated that a group of parents met with Berlyn to ask what it would take for the parents to come up with the funds to continue the outdoor science camp for next year. The principal shared with parents that the decision was “based on the law” and the 6th grade teachers “did not want to continue the outdoor science camp.”

DelaTorre indicated that the decision to discuss the camp with all parents went another direction after an email was sent to the Board and Los Cerritos Community Newspaper.

She also cited other concerns at the school including the lack of School Site Council meetings, PTA Board elections, the outdoor barbeque for the 4th - 6th grade students, and the annual Knott's Berry Farm field trip for the 6th graders.

DelaTorre asked for the Board to inves-tigate the issues.

Martinez then chimed in saying her ma-jor concerns were that some parents knew about the decision before other parents and that there was some unprofessional com-ments made by Berlyn at a parent meeting. She urged ABC to form a science camp committee.

HMG-CN placed a call to Berlyn for comment but she deferred to Patti Levang who said all questions must be directed to-ward the Dr. Sieu.

Dr. Sieu returned a phone call to HMG-CN stating, “over the years, regrettably, some parents choose not to pay. In light of the fact that many parents are willing to raise the money, the principal has decided to revisit and reinstate the camp. There will be a meeting on June 10, inviting incom-ing sixth graders and their parents to meet the staff and discuss their concerns and is-sues.”

Sieu went on to say, “I believe that this issue originally stemmed from miscom-munication and has unfortunately snow-balled.”

Here we grow again!

If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property.
