Patricia Nixon Elementary School veteran teacher of 39 years Bebe Smith, was very ex-cited to learn that LA Opera Edu-cation and Community Program wanted to send professional sing-ers to Nixon Elementary School and perform with the school’s upper grade choir students. “The children were really excited when they were told that they would be

There were a few things that I forgot to mention about yesterday’s C-Section. Af-

ter all, everything isn’t over as soon as the infant is pulled out of the womb. A neonatologist/pediatrician was kept at hand, to weigh, examine and score the baby’s health. The incision was sealed up with a thread, unique in that it would dissolve and there would be no need to remove the stitches after the operation.

Today was more of a talking and consulting day. Yesterday, there had been a 70-year old lady over whom the doctors were questioning whether surgery would be the best route to take. Today, before her biopsy, I went with kaka and Kaki to their other smaller hospital a few ki-lometers away. I sat in the OB/GYN office with Kaki for a while, where she examined and prescribed medicine for several young women who were current-ly pregnant or had recently been pregnant. I later went to Kaka’s office where I had the chance to talk to two Indian medial students who went to school in

The crowd could see the effects of the helicopter downdraft as the pilot lowered the craft to a landing in Artesia Park. Radiating outward from the landing zone, a wall of leaves and dust whooshed toward the crowd. Children and their parents shielded their eyes, but they couldn't take their eyes off the spectacle before them; two Blackhawk helicopters landing on a baseball field. Veterans Day in Artesia was celebrated on Nov. 7. An estimated 400 people gathered to view an hour-long ceremony, which included bagpipes, Taps, and an insightful and sentimental speech by the California National Guard’s Adjutant General Mary Knight. A regional favorite, Artesia's Veterans Day features military displays and helpful information for veterans. This year’s theme was ‘Above and Beyond’. City officials invited the public to join Artesia next year to give thanks to America’s veterans.Call Andrew at (562) 865-6262 for more information.

Chapter Three-Hospitals: Whitney Student Learns About Healthcare in India

Smith has been on staff at Nixon Elementary for 36 years and has always been involved with teaching her students how to dance, sing and perform in musi-cal plays, but the LA Opera had only come to her school once before. Approximately thirteen schools from up and down the California coastline were chosen.

Pico Rivera Voters Elect Political Rivals David Armenta and Gustavo Camacho to City Council in Heated CampaignBy Randy Economy

Ron Beilke fell short in his re-election bid while his political archrival incumbent David Armenta and challenger Gustavo Camacho, a political ally of his, cruised to election victories. He trailed Armenta and Camacho by more than 500 votes and finished in 5th place. Former Mayor and Councilman E.A. "Pete" Ramirez landed in 3rd followed by challenger Marty Mo-rones.

Trailing behind Beilke was challenger Luis Alvarado, a Republican political ad-visor, and community member Raul Ri-esego finished last.

Camacho and Armenta are political op-posites and rivals, and both will be sworn into office in a couple of weeks.

Voters will head back to the polls next April to elect one additional City Council Member for the seat that was previously held by former Mayor Gracie Patricia Smith. She resigned earlier this Summer citing “personal family issues.” It was revealed shortly afterwards that Gallegos-Smith was actually on Felony Probation for Criminal Insurance Fraud during the entire time she was a member of the Pico Rivera City Council.Political Hit Pieces Dominated Cam-paign

Residents were bombarded with nasty negative political mail in this campaign. When all of the campaign expenses are tallied, it is expected that more than $125,000 to $150,000 was actually spent on this campaign.

The new city council will consist of Archuleta, Armenta, Camacho and Coun-

cilman Gregory Salcido and one vacancy. MEASURE TR WINS

Measure TR also was approved by vot-ers on Tuesday in Pico Rivera.

It will lower the city's Utility Users tax from 5 percent to 4.5 percent and change the city's ordinance to include wireless communication devices.

Opponents of the measure called it mis-leading, saying it expands language of the city's ordinance to include wireless com-munication devices - like cell phones and voice-over-Internet - currently being taxed illegally.

Remembering the Life of a Hero

Deputy David PowellTo honor his life and sacrifice, a portion of the 91 freeway be-tween Pioneer and the 605 will soon be memorialized in his name.

Thanksgiving 2002, was a special day for Deputy David Powell’s family. The entire family had not been together for a holiday dinner for a number of years and a feeling of something special was in the air. Deputy David Powell, his wife Emma, their 7-year-old daughter Brianna, his three adult stepdaughters, Amanda, Monique, Alicia as well as their husbands and chil-dren, and his parents, Bill and JoAnn, spent the day reminiscing of all the great family times together. At dinner, David shared that with his 19 years Department seniority, 12 years at Lake-wood Station, he could very easily ask for a less dangerous job by requesting a desk assignment. However, he loved his present assignment and the community he served in the City of Artesia. David could not bear the thought of leaving his patrol unit 134T1, and a job that brought him so much fulfillment and satisfaction with helping others.

Tragically, the sounds of family laughter would soon be replaced with the sights and sounds of a family griev-ing the loss of a love one. On Saturday, November 30, 2002, just two days fol-lowing that very special family gathering on Thanksgiving Day, Deputy David Powell was shot and killed in the line-of-duty. David was one of several deputies who responded to a call for service of a shooting at a residence in Norwalk near the City of Artesia. A Sheriff’s helicopter had observed two individuals running away from the area of the shooting and directed deputies to a rear yard of a house where one of the individuals disappeared in the area of a converted garage. Deputy David Powell responded to the converted garage and believing the individual was

now holding a female hostage inside, at-tempted entry through a closed and locked door. As David was attempting a forced entry with his partner, the suspect fired several bullets through the door, mortally wounding him.

Despite the valiant attempts to save his life by David’s fellow deputies and fire paramedics, he was transported to St. Frances Hospital in the City of Lynwood where shortly after his arrival he was pronounced dead. After taking the life of Deputy David Powell, the suspect, a local gang member who remained barricaded in the converted garage, took his own life with a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Nearly seven years have passed since the murder of Deputy David Powell. Da-vid paid the ultimate sacrifice while serv-ing a community he loved and cherished. To honor his life, service, and sacrifice and to ensure his memory and sacrifice live on, a portion of the 91 freeway will soon be memorialized in his name.

Tony Mendoza, Assembly Member 56th District, authored Assembly Concur-rent Resolution (ACR) 30, designating State Highway Route 91 from the 605

freeway to Pioneer Boulevard, as the Dep-uty David Powell Los Angeles County Sher-iff Memorial Highway. With the passage of ACR 30 this past July, funds now must be raised to pay for the two memorial signs. Community efforts, spearheaded by long time Artesia resident Tony Mendoza, are underway to pay the $5,000.00 cost of the signs which include the lifetime mainte-nance of them.

A fund raising dinner is planned for

Wednesday, November 18, at 6:30 p.m., and will be held at the Albert O. Little Community Center, 18750 Clarkdale Av-enue, City of Artesia. The cost to attend the dinner is $20.00 and all proceeds will go to the payment of the memorial signs.

Deputy David Powell loved life and lived every minute of it to its fullest. His heart was filled with love and his whole purpose in life was to make a positive difference in the lives of others. His fam-ily and faith were the center of his life. Those qualities made him an outstanding deputy who loved helping others.

Residents and business leaders alike can now help to ensure David’s memory lives on for many years to come by con-tributing to the fund to pay for the cost of the Deputy David Powell Los Angeles County Sheriff Memorial Highway signs. Those wishing to contribute can attend the dinner on November 18 at the Albert O. Little Community Center. Tickets can be purchased by November 12th. Tickets may be purchased from the City of Artesia or by calling 562-881-3211. Those wish-ing to make a donation can send a check payable to Southern California C.O.P.S.,

Last Thursday when Alexis Love signed a letter of intent to play basketball at Loyola Marymount University, she made history for a Norwalk girls basket-ball program that has seen more negatives than positives. Love, the 6’ 2” senior center for the Lady Lancers became the

school’s first female basketball player to sign a letter of intent to play at an NCAA Division I institution, which she did in front of a small gathering inside Nor-walk’s library during the lunch break.

Love has been the school’s most cov-eted player since her sophomore season and will be one of the top players in the Suburban League this upcoming season, Norwalk’s first regular season game is Nov. 30 against Compton Centennial. Love, who didn’t decide to play college basketball until after her junior season, chose LMU over a list that included Co-lumbia University, Dartmouth University, Long Beach State University, University of Nevada, Reno, University of New Mexico and Wichita State University. Love said she chose the Westchester campus for its academics and athletics. She plans to major in physical therapy and minor in athletic training.

“When I first came to Norwalk, it was more of a softball mentality,” Love said. “I had dreams of playing for a D-I softball school. But once I started playing basketball, I decided that’s the sport I wanted to play. It was kind of late but not too late.”

“You always hope that you have an athlete that comes by and does some-thing,” said Norwalk head coach Richard Drake. “I knew I had something special in her when I had her make varsity as a freshman and she handled [Brandi and Champaign Hood] at Glenn. They still had a little bit more than we had but Alexis was never afraid of those big

girls.”Last season, Love led the Lady Lanc-

ers to their second straight playoff ap-pearance by leading the team with a 13.8 points per game average, 234 rebounds and 68 blocks. She was also second on the team with 56 steals. As a sopho-more, Love was tops on the team with 197 rebounds, 62 blocks and a field goal

percentage of 43 percent. In both sea-sons, Norwalk went 14-13 and finished in fourth place in the Suburban League. Before her sophomore season, the Lady Lancers had not finished in fourth place in over 10 years. Love will be the lone returning player for Norwalk this season.

“She’s changed our team,” Drake said. “Because of her, she makes us always a threat. She’s going to draw the double teams and at times, she’s going to draw the triple teaming. That’s respect. She’s

going to force our team to have to step their game up because we’re going to have to help her help us win.”

“There were a lot of people that told me I couldn’t really do it, especially since I’m from Norwalk,” Love said. “But by proving them wrong and having girls look up to me…they could play D-I or even better.”

“He pushed me a lot and there were some ups and downs but there have al-ways been positive outcomes,” Love said of Drake. “My basketball career started with him. He taught me all the basics and that’s what got me here.”

Letter from Assemblyman Tony Mendoza

Back To Basics For California’s Future Sake

It is as simple as 1+1. California must be willing to invest in its education system in order to produce graduates ready and able to compete in a global market.

At stake is a workforce capable of leading the world in new economy trades including green technology, telecommu-nication, bio-medics, and in the high-tech industry, or one that continues to occupy positions in a service dominated economy.

When our students are not trained in the basics businesses have to expend time and capital in training their workforce

adding costs to their operations. One way to curb this trend is to begin intern-ship programs where students can marry their academics with real-world on the job experience.

The fundamentals of involving stu-dents from an early age in programs and activities that engage their minds and expand their understanding must be devel-oped between the business community and educators.

According to the National Edu-cation Association (NEA), California ranked 29th in per pupil spending for K-12, well below New York and Illinois and the National average.

California is faced with many challenges and oppor-tunities and the legislature is working on settling and taking on many of them in the upcoming months. Education, however, is a community matter that can be aided by the involvement of professionals willing to invest their time and expertise in develop-ing young minds.

I urge members of the business com-munity to look to the future of our state by developing programs that help reinforce their studies. Sometimes in order to move forward you have to remove the clutter and just get down to basics.

Randy EconomyGiving Thanks to Unsung Local HeroesBy Randy Economy

We see them all year long, but may not know there names.

But this year, as we get ready to

celebrate Thanksgiving in our part of the world, it’s time to think about those who truly work miracles here, day in and day out, all year long.

They are the people who do “thank-less” jobs that many of us would never dream of doing but are so needed in these difficult times.

Let’s all give thanks this week to some of our local heroes.

Pastor Keith Tanis of New Life Community Church in Artesia and their amazing “Food Ministry” located at 18800 Norwalk Boule-vard for distribut-ing free food each and every Saturday morning from 9:30

to 11 a.m. for those who are hungry. No questions asked. All you need is your own bag, and hope for a brighter future.

Father Tony Gomez of St. Linus Catholic Church in Norwalk for his dedi-cation and establishment of the “Mus-tard Seed Communities Ministry” at his church. He works tirelessly to help send dozens of our local community mem-bers to Jamaica and Nicaragua each and every year to help minister to abandoned children who are left to die in “garbage dumps” and who are suffering from HIV/AIDS and for his commitment to help those in our community overcome the ad-diction to drugs and alcohol.

Pastor Barry and Terryl Bruce who founded “The Way Out Ministries” in Hawaiian Gardens back in 1984 to reach the people of the small urban area that has one of the highest per-capita crime rates in the United States. Many of Hawaiian Gardens’ families live in poverty, and many young people turn to gangs for ac-ceptance. Through “The Way Out Minis-tries,” Terryl and Barry coordinate weekly youth clubs, support groups, Bible studies, and a referral network of service agen-cies. Barry won a seat on the Hawaiian Gardens City Council earlier this month, so his works continues now at a “higher level.”

Joanne Witt of Cerritos has been a champion for children here for decades. She currently serves as the President of the Artesia Cerritos Woman’s Club, has been a member of both the Cerritos and Artesia Friends of the Library for decades and has always been a champion for young women and expanded education opportunities for high school students.

Frank Napolitano of Norwalk has given to the community for more than three decades now, through organizations like the Knights of Columbus, Lions Club and the Santa Sleigh Program. He and along with former Norwalk Mayor Luigi Vernola established the Santa Sleigh pro-gram nearly 25 years ago. These dedicated men bring the spirit of Christmas to the neighborhoods of Norwalk year in and year out. Frank is the husband of Con-gresswoman Grace Napolitano.

THE Friends of the FIRST CEB of Cerritos for dedicating hundreds of hours each year to help our troops overseas. Chuck Sooter and Dorothy Owen and countless others have dedicate themselves each year to remembering, honoring and reaching out to our military heroes fight-ing in Iraq and Afgahastan.

So to the hundreds of you who also do you part in giving back, I am “thankful” for all you do as well.

Peace, kindness and hope to each of you. Have a great Thanksgiving.

And on the other side of the island.....

Rants Against Bias in the Newsrooms Can Go Both Ways

Recently the editor {publisher} of the

Los Cerritos Community News unleashed upon us readers two rants against two popular commentators who are both gener-ally labeled conserva-tives. In doing so, he meant to diminish whatever points they may have made with regards to most of what these two com-

mentators talk about. However, he fails to realize that there are significant numbers of “well-respected” “newsmen” and

“newswomen” who regularly engage in similar antics, some go-ing well beyond the sometimes paranoid antics Rush Limbaugh and Lou Dobbs.

Let’s start with former

sportscaster turned “smartest man in the room” Keith Olberman, whose Jekyll and Hyde impersonation leaves many scratch-ing their heads concerning why he is allowed by MSNBC to be more than just a newsreader. For instance, Mr. Olbermann

regularly casti-gated the former Bush Adminis-tration for being racists, Nazis, and fascists, while saying that ethnic cleanser Saddam Hussein did not

sink low enough to that level. Then there are his vitriolic comments that verge on conspiracy theorist with regards to the Bush Administration, but any criticism on Democrat backed healthcare reform or the cap and trade bill are labeled as fear mon-gering and brings forth from Mr. Olber-

mann fears that this criticism no matter how mild it may be could lead to lynch mobs?

Next, we have Rachel Maddow who seems content to being a publicist for Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and Barack Obama, never delving into the actual policy in any detail but skimming the surface so as to spin anything and everything in such a way as to help the policies of the before men-tioned three no matter if the actual impact on this nation is damaging or not. Then there is her obsession to defend everything Obama and bash everything Bush, even though former President George W. Bush is term limited and has been keeping quiet since he left office. For instance she has

during Obama’s tenure said that criticizing Pelosi, Obama, & Reid could lead to violence by some angry, dimwit-ted white men in brown shirts, while castigating the Bush Admin-

istration and Republicans as Nazis, racists and fascists. Do I see a theme emerging?

Last we have PBS’s own Bill Moy-ers. In his current program the Journal, he routinely engages in some of the most partisan propaganda imaginable calling it news. For instance, in July of this year Moyers had on his show Wendell Potter who for an hour spoke on how much the Democrat plan then forming was needed. Potter is the former spin-doctor for insur-ance giant Cigna and now works for the misnamed Center for Media and Democ-racy, one of the groups that helped write the narrowly passed House Bill. Mean-while, Moyers complains how conserva-tives are supported by big business and fails to see the irony of who is backing his show and tends to financially benefit most from the legislation he and his ilk advance.

It seems to me that if you call out commentators on one side of the political aisle and call that news, you have a jour-nalistic duty to do so for those similarly over-reacting on the other side of the aisle. So, before you publish your inevitable rants on Sean Hannity, Bill O’Reilly, and Glenn Beck do us all a favor and pluck out some logs from your side of the aisle who help create some of the hypocrisy and vitriol you for appearance sake to want to stop.

Sincerely,

Matt KaubleCerritos resident

OPINIONS AND LETTERSDear Editor:

Last week, a failed vice-presidential candidate claimed that animals belong right next to the mashed potatoes. This week, our president is pardoning two turkeys. It’s food for thought.

Each of us has the presidential power to pardon a turkey this Thanksgiving. It shows our compassion for an innocent animal, as well as our concern for our family’s and our planet’s health. It’s a most fitting way to give thanks for our own life, health, and happiness.

The 270 million turkeys abused and slaughtered in the U.S. each year have nothing to give thanks for. They breathe toxic fumes in crowded sheds. Their beaks and toes are severed. At the slaugh-ter-house, workers cut their throats, and dump them into boiling water, sometimes while still conscious.

Consumers too pay a heavy price. Turkey flesh is laced with cholesterol and saturated fats that ele-vate the risk of heart disease, stroke, and cancer. Careful adher-ence to government warning labels is required to avoid food poisoning. Turkey excrements pollute our water supplies.

This Thanksgiving, I won’t be calling the Poultry Hot Line, or staying awake wondering how that turkey lived and died. I will be joining millions of other Ameri-cans in observing this joyful family holi-day with nonviolent healthful products of the earth’s bounty: vegetables, fruits, and grains.

A visit to my local supermarket or health food store and an internet search on vegan Thanksgiving will provide me more recipes and delicious turkey alternatives than I can possibly use.

Rep. Sánchez Votes to Protect Seniors’ Access to DoctorsAttaches � scally responsible PAY-GO legislation.

Today, Rep. Sánchez voted to pre-serve seniors’ access to their doctors by fixing the way Medicare pays physicians. The Medicare Physician Payment Reform Act will permanently reform the Medi-care payment system, repealing a 21% cut in payments to doctors scheduled to take place in January and replacing it with a stable system that protects seniors, preserves their relationship with their doctors, and promotes primary care.

“By fixing this system in a responsible way we are ensuring that our seniors have reliable access to their doctors and the primary care they need,” said Rep. Linda Sánchez. “Medicare is not a handout, it is a benefit that our seniors have earned, and this bill takes crucial steps toward strengthening it and providing the high-est quality of care and benefits for retired and disabled Americans.”

This bill tackles seniors’ main concern – preventing pay cuts that could encourage doctors to stop seeing Medicare patients. It builds on the

historic health insurance reform bill the House passed earlier this month, which will lower premiums, extend the solvency of Medicare by five years, improve pre-ventive and primary care for seniors, and close the “donut hole” drug coverage gap.

“For California’s seniors and those with disabilities, this is no abstract issue,” said Rep. Sánchez. “Access to a doctor can mean everything for them: indepen-dence, hope, and security. This bill will lower costs and improve care for seniors, who put in a lifetime of hard work to make this country great.”

To underscore a commitment to reduce the deficit, the House attached statutory “pay-as-you-go,” or PAYGO, legislation to the Medicare Physician Payment Re-form Act before sending it to the Senate. By joining statutory PAYGO with legisla-tion fixing Medicare physician payments, it makes PAYGO more credible and effective – avoiding the need to waive it for current policies that Congress and the President have already agreed should be extended – and sending a clear message that we are committed to fiscal responsi-bility.

“This is a direct example of Congress fulfilling a commitment to honest budget-ing, and by permanently fixing the way doctors are paid we are putting a stop to budget gimmicks,” said Rep. Sánchez. “We’re also reminding the American

people, as well as the U.S. Senate, that new policies must be paid for.”

With statutory PAYGO in place, all new tax and entitlement policies must be offset, restoring fiscal discipline and bringing down the deep deficits that face our nation. By enacting statutory PAYGO, Democrats are putting an end to the reck-less “borrow-and-spend” policies of the Bush Administration and the Republican Congress and reinstating the principle that led us from record deficits to record surpluses in the Clinton Administration.

Sen. Lowenthal Announces 27th Senate District 3rd Annual Young Women’s Empowerment Conference

Powell in the right arm, passed through the opening in his vest, and entered his chest. Deputy Powell's partner returned fire and dragged Deputy Powell to his patrol car. He then drove Deputy Powell one block away where he was met by

paramedics. Deputy Powell was transported to St.

Deputy David Powell was shot and killed on November 30th, 2002, after he and his partner responded to reports of gunshots near 166th Street and Elaine Avenue in Artesia at 10:30 at night.

When the officers arrived at that crime scene, they observed a man run into a home and take a woman hostage. As Deputy Powell attempted to kick the door open, the man fired two shots from inside.

A.Q.

Many people have been told this over the years, but it is not necessarily true. The majority of people who have “nerve deafness,” or sensorineural hearing loss, improve

their hearing through the use of hearing aids. There is no medicine or surgery to repair the inner ear, so these hearing impaired individuals need amplification systems to hear their loved ones. Improvements in computer-chip technology have also made hearing aid systems and assistive listening devices (ALDs) much more advanced than years ago. They are avail-able now to make your life, and those of your loved ones, much easier.

A community fundraiser was held Wednesday night to help pay for the con-struction and installation of the "Deputy

David Powell High-way Memorial" sign that will be placed at the 91 Freeway and 605 Freeway Interchange later this month.

both the Los Angeles County Sheriff and Fire Departments attended the dinner and auction held at the historic Albert O. Little Community Center at Artesia Park,

Event Raises Needed Funds to Pay for Deputy David Powell Highway Memorial Sign

Deputy Powell, local California State Assemblyman Tony Mendoza sponsored ACR 30 last year that would dedicate portion of the 91 Freeway and 605 Free-way Interchange in his memory. The bill was signed into law by California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger.

During the bill signing earlier this year, Assemblyman Mendoza said that “Californians are indebted every day to our peace officers, and we pay special tribute to their bravery and dedication and share in their pain when one of their members is killed in the line of duty.”

The funds raised at the event will help pay for the purchase of the freeway sign as well to maintain its upkeep in the future.

Commander Dave Fender of the Lakewood Sheriff’s Station said during the event that the reason Deputy Powell became a law enforcement officer was to make a positive difference in other people’s lives, and as a deputy sheriff, he was praised by his peers, supervisors, and by members of the community for his tireless efforts to guide young people

away from drugs and gangs.Deputy Powell was also awarded

the Medal of Valor by the City of Lake-wood for saving the life of an individual attempting suicide in the year 2000, and several months prior to his death.

Pico Rivera Voters Elect Political Rivals David Armenta and Gustavo Camacho to City Council in Heated CampaignBy Randy Economy

Ron Beilke fell short in his re-election bid while his political archrival incumbent David Armenta and challenger Gustavo Camacho, a political ally of his, cruised to election victories. He trailed Armenta and Camacho by more than 500 votes and finished in 5th place. Former Mayor and Councilman E.A. "Pete" Ramirez landed in 3rd followed by challenger Marty Mo-rones.

Trailing behind Beilke was challenger Luis Alvarado, a Republican political ad-visor, and community member Raul Ri-esego finished last.

Camacho and Armenta are political op-posites and rivals, and both will be sworn into office in a couple of weeks.

Voters will head back to the polls next April to elect one additional City Council Member for the seat that was previously held by former Mayor Gracie Patricia Smith. She resigned earlier this Summer citing “personal family issues.” It was revealed shortly afterwards that Gallegos-Smith was actually on Felony Probation for Criminal Insurance Fraud during the entire time she was a member of the Pico Rivera City Council.Political Hit Pieces Dominated Cam-paign

Residents were bombarded with nasty negative political mail in this campaign. When all of the campaign expenses are tallied, it is expected that more than $125,000 to $150,000 was actually spent on this campaign.

The new city council will consist of Archuleta, Armenta, Camacho and Coun-

cilman Gregory Salcido and one vacancy. MEASURE TR WINS

Measure TR also was approved by vot-ers on Tuesday in Pico Rivera.

It will lower the city's Utility Users tax from 5 percent to 4.5 percent and change the city's ordinance to include wireless communication devices.

Opponents of the measure called it mis-leading, saying it expands language of the city's ordinance to include wireless com-munication devices - like cell phones and voice-over-Internet - currently being taxed illegally.

Remembering the Life of a Hero

Deputy David PowellTo honor his life and sacrifice, a portion of the 91 freeway be-tween Pioneer and the 605 will soon be memorialized in his name.

Thanksgiving 2002, was a special day for Deputy David Powell’s family. The entire family had not been together for a holiday dinner for a number of years and a feeling of something special was in the air. Deputy David Powell, his wife Emma, their 7-year-old daughter Brianna, his three adult stepdaughters, Amanda, Monique, Alicia as well as their husbands and chil-dren, and his parents, Bill and JoAnn, spent the day reminiscing of all the great family times together. At dinner, David shared that with his 19 years Department seniority, 12 years at Lake-wood Station, he could very easily ask for a less dangerous job by requesting a desk assignment. However, he loved his present assignment and the community he served in the City of Artesia. David could not bear the thought of leaving his patrol unit 134T1, and a job that brought him so much fulfillment and satisfaction with helping others.

Tragically, the sounds of family laughter would soon be replaced with the sights and sounds of a family griev-ing the loss of a love one. On Saturday, November 30, 2002, just two days fol-lowing that very special family gathering on Thanksgiving Day, Deputy David Powell was shot and killed in the line-of-duty. David was one of several deputies who responded to a call for service of a shooting at a residence in Norwalk near the City of Artesia. A Sheriff’s helicopter had observed two individuals running away from the area of the shooting and directed deputies to a rear yard of a house where one of the individuals disappeared in the area of a converted garage. Deputy David Powell responded to the converted garage and believing the individual was

now holding a female hostage inside, at-tempted entry through a closed and locked door. As David was attempting a forced entry with his partner, the suspect fired several bullets through the door, mortally wounding him.

Despite the valiant attempts to save his life by David’s fellow deputies and fire paramedics, he was transported to St. Frances Hospital in the City of Lynwood where shortly after his arrival he was pronounced dead. After taking the life of Deputy David Powell, the suspect, a local gang member who remained barricaded in the converted garage, took his own life with a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Nearly seven years have passed since the murder of Deputy David Powell. Da-vid paid the ultimate sacrifice while serv-ing a community he loved and cherished. To honor his life, service, and sacrifice and to ensure his memory and sacrifice live on, a portion of the 91 freeway will soon be memorialized in his name.

Tony Mendoza, Assembly Member 56th District, authored Assembly Concur-rent Resolution (ACR) 30, designating State Highway Route 91 from the 605

freeway to Pioneer Boulevard, as the Dep-uty David Powell Los Angeles County Sher-iff Memorial Highway. With the passage of ACR 30 this past July, funds now must be raised to pay for the two memorial signs. Community efforts, spearheaded by long time Artesia resident Tony Mendoza, are underway to pay the $5,000.00 cost of the signs which include the lifetime mainte-nance of them.

A fund raising dinner is planned for

Wednesday, November 18, at 6:30 p.m., and will be held at the Albert O. Little Community Center, 18750 Clarkdale Av-enue, City of Artesia. The cost to attend the dinner is $20.00 and all proceeds will go to the payment of the memorial signs.

Deputy David Powell loved life and lived every minute of it to its fullest. His heart was filled with love and his whole purpose in life was to make a positive difference in the lives of others. His fam-ily and faith were the center of his life. Those qualities made him an outstanding deputy who loved helping others.

Residents and business leaders alike can now help to ensure David’s memory lives on for many years to come by con-tributing to the fund to pay for the cost of the Deputy David Powell Los Angeles County Sheriff Memorial Highway signs. Those wishing to contribute can attend the dinner on November 18 at the Albert O. Little Community Center. Tickets can be purchased by November 12th. Tickets may be purchased from the City of Artesia or by calling 562-881-3211. Those wish-ing to make a donation can send a check payable to Southern California C.O.P.S.,

Valley Christian Gets “Running” in Second Half, Captures Olympic League CrownBy Loren Kopff

In 2002, Valley Christian’s football team welcomed Paraclete to the Olym-pic League with a 47-21 home victory

that gave the Crusaders the league title on the last game of the regular season. Last Friday night at Cru-sader Field, Valley bid the Spirits an adieu as its big-gest league rivals for the past eight seasons will be leaving the circuit for the Gold Coast Athletic Con-ference for at least the next four seasons.

Junior Tyler Boer kicked a game-winning 35-yard field goal nearly midway through the fourth quarter and senior quar-terback Kevin Running rebounded from a sluggish first half to make some key completions in the stanza and scored an insurance touchdown late in the game as the Crusad-ers won their first league championship since 2004 following a 28-19 win. Valley and Paraclete have now split the last eight meetings and the victory prevented Para-clete from winning the league title for a third straight season.

“That was an awesome game,” Val-ley head coach Erick Streelman said. “We said coming into the game we had to win the turnover battle, which we did. To beat these guys, finally, is huge. It’s huge for

our kids.”Last season, Paraclete crushed Valley

37-13 in the last week of the regular season and two seasons ago, a Week 9 encounter resulted in a 27-7 loss for the Crusaders. Paraclete had gone 4-0 in the circuit the last two seasons and the two teams en-tered last Friday’s games with identical 6-3 overall records and 3-0 league marks. Four of Valley’s seven league losses since 2002 have come to Paraclete.

Defense played a huge role in the first quarter with Valley going three and out in all four of its possessions and Paraclete

doing the same twice, plus fumbling the ball with 4:34 left which was recovered by senior defensive lineman Cameron Schweitzer.

Almost five minutes into the second quarter, sophomore defensive back David Coley recovered a fumble but the hosts had to punt for a fifth straight time. On the very next play, senior defensive back Anthony Binford picked off Cameron Carvalho and the mistake led to a 22-yard field goal from Boer, his first of the sea-son. Running had a 35-yard run on a draw to put the team at the 5-yard line moments before the field goal. But the Spirits ran off the final 10 plays of the half and took a 7-3 lead on a three-yard run from Car-valho.

Valley’s offense was on the field for less than eight minutes in the first half and mustered only 49 yards of total of-fense. Running completed one pass in 11 attempts but the Crusaders were in the game because of their defense.

“Defensively we were awesome,” Streelman said. “They do a lot of tricky things defensively, bringing guys from all over the place. We had a hard time adjust-ing to it. I think we made a couple of key adjustments at halftime that really helped us out.”

After forcing Paraclete to punt on its first possession of the second half, the Crusaders regained the lead when senior running back Kyle Kurian rumbled 46 yards up the middle. It was the longest play from scrimmage to that point from either team.

Valley went up 11-7 with 2:28 left in the third quarter when a bad snap sailed over the head of Kyle Steffes and through the end zone for a safety. Then junior Chris Binford took the ensuing kickoff 90 yards for a touchdown and an 18-7 lead.

The Spirits would score two straight touchdowns and held a 19-18 lead with 7:40 left to play. But Running worked his magic and on third and 15 from Valley’s 20-yard line, hooked up with Boer for a 64-yard gain. After two incomplete passes, including barely missing senior wide re-ceiver Tanner Miller in the corner of the

end zone, Boer booted the game-winning points.

“The coach just decided to give me that long ball and I went up and caught it,” Boer said.

Another three and out by Paraclete would give Valley the ball near midfield and it took less than two minutes for the Crusaders to tack on the insurance touchdown, a one-yard sneak from Running. He would complete just six passes for 92 yards. Junior running back Trevor Rodriguez led the ground game with 68 yards on seven carries and Kurian

added another 57 yards on sev-en rushes. Defensively, junior linebacker Brad Staal had four and a half tackles while senior defensive back John Zipper and

senior lineman Christopher Aalberg each had four tackles.

While Paraclete put up 421 yards and ran 15 more plays than the Crusaders, it was Valley’s offense that was confusing the Spirits all night long, especially in the second half as Running would rush his unit to the line of scrimmage in a matter of sec-onds on every play.

“We wanted to play really fast because we felt like if we get in a rhythm, we can keep them from getting all of the blitz calls,” Streelman said. “And it worked. The problem was we didn’t get enough first downs to keep them on their heels.”

This was Valley’s first win over Para-clete since the league opener of the 2005 season but the Crusaders won seven games in the regular season for the second straight season. Tonight, they will host La Canada in the first round of the California Inter-scholastic Federation-Southern Section Mid-Valley Division playoffs. The Spar-tans finished tied for second place in the Rio Hondo League but go in as the third place representatives. They have a 5-4 overall record.

As for the “new” Olympic League next season, Maranatha will take Paraclete’s place.

“They have a bunch of great guys who are really good and we played at home, which was a big up for us,” Boer said of Paraclete. “I think our team just wanted it a little bit more than Paraclete.”

The Valley Christian football team was nothing but smiles last Friday night after defeating Paraclete 28-19 to win the Olympic League for the first time since 2004.

Cerritos Survives Battle From Pasadena Poly, Advances to CIF FinalsBy Loren Kopff

An hour before this past Tuesday night’s volleyball match against Pasadena Poly, Cerritos head coach Khanh Vo admit-ted he was quite tired, probably because his team was about to hit the court for the 32nd time including tournaments.

Vo will have to catch up on the much needed sleep at a later time because for the second time in school history, the Lady Dons are moving on to the California In-terscholastic Federation-Southern Section championships. Cerritos, the third ranked team in Division III-A, outlasted the sec-ond ranked Panthers 25-23, 23-25, 25-21, 25-17. The last time the Lady Dons went this far was in 1995 where the team fell to Paso Robles in four games in the Division IV finals. Junior middle blocker Jessica Wu had a team-high 21 kills, just the sec-ond time this season she has had at least 20 kills, senior middle blocker Jenny Ho 14 more kills and junior outside hitter Cherise Kam added another 12 kills. Cerritos, the Suburban League champions who are now 23-2 overall, will face top ranked Mayfield tonight at Cypress College. The Cubs won the Prep League and will sport a 22-5 re-cord in the finals. And to think that when Vo took over the girls program in 2007, he wasn’t sure about coaching a girls team, since he had been and is still the Cerritos boys coach and was more comfortable with their system.

“Sometimes I still don’t know,” Vo said. “You see the four or five-point runs that we give here and there and just some of the errors that we make, I still don’t un-derstand. But I’m learning and I feel I can get a little bit better.”

Cerritos never trailed in the first set and led 18-10 before the Panthers made their first run of the match. Alexis Genske served four straight points, then later in the set, an ace from Rose Dicovitsky made it a 21-20 affair. From that point on, the two teams traded side outs until Kam’s third kill won the set. Two items of note from the first set involved Ho, who has been the leading hitter all season. First, she began the set by serving instead of later in the ro-tation, or sometimes not at all. Second, she was limited to just one kill while Wu picked up the slack and recorded seven kills. Ho didn’t begin a set as the first server until the fourth set of last Saturday night’s quar-terfinal match at San Dimas.

“I told her before the game we have to play normal,” Vo said. “All season long, Jenny usually swings. But she was thinking too much about the block. After a while, I told her, ‘you won this many games for me swinging. Let’s just swing’. I think she picked up her game and then the team fol-lowed.”

“I’m just overwhelmed right now be-cause Pasadena Poly was really tough to-day,” Ho said. “They blocked me, so I basi-cally did not do very well in the first game.

I had to rely on my team. I’m just happy my team pulled through it.

“They’re a really good blocking team and they found me,” she continued. “I tried to do all different kinds of hits but they still got me. I give props to them.”

Pasadena Poly made some adjustments in the second set and went on a few mini runs but it was Cerritos who was looking to go up 2-0 when it had a lead of 22-19. Then, for the second time in the past four nights, an opponent was able to rally back and steal the set. Julie Brown served three points to put her team in front 23-22. After a serving error, kills from Dicovitsky and Genske tied the match. To this point, Ho was still being contained with just half a dozen kills. But Kam, Wu and strong serv-ing would pave the way in the final two sets.

Again, Cerritos never trailed in the third set as Wu and Kam put down six and four kills respectively with each also serv-ing an ace. Senior setter Samantha Adams also had an ace, a block and a kill for three more points. With the Lady Dons clinging to a 20-19 lead, Wu’s 16th kill gave Kam the serve where she had her third ace of the match.

By now, the Panthers were running out of steam and it showed in the fourth set as the hosts, who were backed by a vociferous crowd in their capacity-filled section of the gymnasium, bolted out to leads of 13-7 and 20-12. The dagger in the heart may have come from senior defensive specialist Lisa Hom, who had back to back aces which made the score 19-11. She finished with eight aces on the night and leads the team with 81 aces.

“She came through,” Vo said. “In the first three rounds of the playoffs, she would be 50-50 on her serves. Today, she came through big time, especially in the last game.”

Kam led Cerritos with 37 digs while se-nior outside hitter Jackie Trimble added 19 digs. Genske led the Panthers with 21 kills and two blocks while Ali Binney pitched in with seven kills and four blocks.

“I thought their block was big, initially,

and then I realized their block was big all around,” Vo said. “So [I thought] we’ll just go out with Jenny swinging. The other coach and I were playing a chess match here and there and I thought Poly did a good job adjusting. We just had to keep going back and forth. We made each other look bad at times.”

Since posting 16 sweeps in their past 17 non tournament matches before the quarterfinals, the Lady Dons have had con-secutive four-set matches. Now, their big-gest test will come from a Mayfield squad that includes 6’ 2” middle blocker Hannah Schraer, who is tied for the team lead in kills with 208 and leads with 58 blocks, 5’ 11” middle blocker Anneliese Luck, who has made only eight errors all season, 5’ 8” outside hitter Rachel Aragon, who also has 208 kills and 109 digs and 5’ 7” outside hit-ter Madisyn Spence (182 kills). The tallest player for Cerritos is Ho, who stands at 5’ 11” with Kam an inch shorter. The Cubs are the defending division champions.

“We’re not the biggest team, we’re not tall all the way around,” Vo said. “So, we have to rely on ball control, serving and serve receive.

“We would like to [think we’re ready],” Vo added. “When we go into training camp and preseason and regular season, we train for playoffs. That’s always been our goal. We try to get healthy at the right time and we try to be playing our best volleyball at the right time. I think they learned a lot to-night”

“The farther you go, the teams can ad-just well,” Ho said. “The first two rounds were pretty much easy because the other teams couldn’t adjust to our strategy.”

At the end of the surgery, I started to feel hot and dizzy so I headed back upstairs to eat, drink and rest. Later at the other hospital, I talked again to the two medical stu-dents. Surprisingly, when I asked them what fields of medicine they planned to pursue, I was surprised to find that they were both planning on entering gynecology, the field Shobhnakaki is in as well. When I asked them why, they told me that it was considered an “acceptable” field in medicine for women here in India. Their parents don’t even want them to go outside India, not even to go work in the United States.August 29, 2009

Today I got to see more of the everyday interaction be-tween doctor and patient while I sat in Kaka’s office for a couple of hours. I saw two girls get their post-operational wounds dressed. One girl had had to have a cyst on her ear removed after she had gotten it pierced. Another girl had to get several stitches on her eyelid under her brow; she had been injured while playing. Later, the doctor consulted with a couple of sadhvis, Jain religious figures that have given up all worldly attachments by taking diksha. They scheduled a cyst removal and a hysterectomy.

Later that day, Kaka took me down with him to watch a minnow operation. It was for a pregnant woman who’s OS under the cervix had opened prematurely and would have to be closed shut until it was time to deliver the baby. I was able to handle the entire procedure but at the very end I had to sit down because I had dizziness and felt hot. My blood pressure and pulse were all really low so I had to sit down and drink water for a while. Kaki told me that I had suffered from some kind of shock because I was not used to seeing such procedures. But I don’t understand how I got though everything else and have only just had some shock issues. I realize now that my current environment as a whole isn’t doing me any good. There’s constant rain, its humid and hot and sticky and I’m never really feeling 100%. I felt embarrassed at my weakness, but Kaka told me that what happened was common during the training of many medicals and nurses. I know for a fact that I am not a squeamish person and had I overall been feeling bet-ter, I wouldn’t have had any issues. I was watching many procedures without any problems, but all of a sudden the dizzy spell hit. This environment as a whole is brutal and must definitely take some getting used to.

that possibility and it was under discussion with federal officials.

Councilman Jim Edwards noted the project includes construction of 14 wheelchair accessible ramps that are in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act.

Planning Commissioner Ken Cha told the council he was pleased that the project included the installation of concrete where the 91 freeway off ramp and Bloomfield Avenue junction. He said not only is the car traffic heavy but truck traffic is very heavy with the trucks often hitting the curbs and center divider when they make their turns off the freeway onto Bloomfield.

Gallucci said by putting down concrete at the inter-section it will give it a much longer lifespan against the 18 wheelers who are making a turn to the city’s industrial park. Concerning the widening of the off ramps at the in-tersection, that is a state responsibility. However, the city can work with them and encourage them to do it. However, we are working with them on it and they do recognize this is an issue with the number of trucks that come off that intersection. He said work on the road construction would begin after the Christmas-New Year holidays.

In other business the council voted to increase the award from $10,000 to $25,000 for the arrest of the killers who shot 17-year old Jonathan Muse on Aug. 20, 2008 in a drive-by shooting. Gallucci said while the killing took place in the city of Artesia on Norwalk Boulevard under the 91-freeway overpass, the victim was the grandson of long-time Cerritos resident Marie O’Donnell.

At the council’s Oct. 24 meeting, Mrs. O’Donnell asked the council if the reward could be raised. “My family is looking for closure,” she told LCCNG, “and we won’t have it until the killers are caught and sentenced.”

Greg Berg, Cerritos Director of Community and Safety Services, said the Los Angeles County Sheriff Department Homicide Division is handling the case, which he described as “ongoing.” Asked if reward increases have let authori-ties to a killer(s), he said it was hard to tell. “Sometimes it takes several years before a case like this is resolved.”
