New Orleans native Carlos Saborio spent his teenage years in Nicaragua, as his parents, who moved to the U.S. in 1979, decided to return to their home country in search of better opportuni-ties.

His interest in politics was sparked while he was working in then-prime min-ister Antonio Lacayo's presi-dential campaign in Nicaragua.

Although Lacayo did not win the election, the campaign showed Saborio how politics can transform the lives of

underserved people and the experience propelled him toward the field of poli-tics. Saborio later moved to Los Angeles in 2001 with his mother where he had to put his education on hold to achieve

Protecting local funds from state raidsCerritos Council endorses ballot initative.

By Jerry Bernstein

The Cerritos City Council unanimously approved a resolu-tion in support of a ballot initia-tive that will prevent the State from raiding local government transportation and public transit funds.

In a report to the council, Assistant City Manager Kathy Matsumoto said over the years California voters have over-whelmingly passed separate ballot measurers to keep local funding sources essential for lo-cal services and prevent the State from raiding local government transit and transportation funds. “Despite this, the State recently passed a budget that borrows and takes approximately $5 billion in city, county, transit, redevelop-ment and special district funds this year. For Cerritos, these costs are estimated to be $14.1 million in redevelopment funds over the next two fiscal years. “

The Resolution is in support of the Local Taxpayer, Public Safety, and Transportation Pro-tection Act of 2010, a ballot mea-sure sponsored by the League of California Cities. If approved by the voters, it will prevent the State from borrowing, raiding or otherwise redirect local govern-ment, transportation and public funds, including:

• Adding new constitu-tional restriction that prohibits the State from taking tax increment funds collected within a redevel-

Cerritos High School Cheerleaders participate in London parade

See FUNDS CON'T ON 7

Carmenita and South - Storm winds knocked down a tree that fell on a car in Cerritos. The vehicle was headed southbound on Carmenita Road and was struck just north of South St. at 1:05 p.m. Tuesday. The tree was blown down from the center median and into traffic. The driver appeared to be out of the vehicle and uninjured. The vehicle appears to have sustained most front-end damage, with the bulk of the tree lying across the open engine hood. A Cerritos Sheriff was pulling up to the scene at the time of the photo.

Editor’s Note: The following is an interview with Cerritos High School Junior and Varsity Cheer-leader Marin Chattong prior to her trip to Great Britain as a member of the United States Cheerleading Team that participated in the New Years London Parade. She and four other Cerritos Cheerleaders were among those selected from throughout the United States to go to London and represent the United States in the Parade. She also kept a journal of her trip to London.

Marin Chattong is a typical high school student. She likes Volley Ball and “I can only be on one varsity team,” she explained. I chose cheerleading. However, I am on the junior varsity vol-leyball team, which is my favor-ite sport.” She said she has been playing volleyball since she was in the third grade.

“I really love where I am,” she exclaimed. I love volleyball and love being a cheerleader. I’ve been on the cheerleading varsity team three years.

This is the first time I’ve been

Four hundred high schools girls from throughout the United States were selected to represent the country in the annual New Year Lon-don Parade. Five were from Cerritos High School. Approximate 70 students were chosen from the Western United States. Twenty of them, including the five Cerritos girls, got together and had their picture including the five Cerritos girls, got together and had their picture including the five Cerritos girls, got together and had their picturtaken with the London Bridge in the background.

chosen to the go London. I’m re-ally excited.

Marin was selected to try out for the cheerleading trip while doing routines. Judges were go-ing around selecting candidates. Once chosen cheerleaders were given a routine to do. You do have time to practice and put your own interpretation on it, and then perform it in front of judges, she said. They then select who will be on the team. She said five girls from Cerritos were chosen to be on the 400-member team and par-ticipate in the New Year Parade in London. She described it as being similar to our Rose Bowl Parade and was televised.

Marin said they were given three uniforms a red jacket, a blue and white jacket that comes with skirt and a long sleeve jacket. I’ve never been in snow before, she said, except for a visit to Big Bear. She thought it might snow while she was in London. Cerri-tos has 11 cheerleaders who per-form at school sport events. “I’ve been to three National Events, she said.

Storms inflict property damage in Cerritos

Rain storm causes tree to fall onto townhouse - Workmen saw limbs off a 30-year old eucalyptus tree that fell onto a Sundance townhouse facing Bloomfield Avenue just north of 166th Street Tuesday, Jan. 19. A workman said the heavy rains that soaked the earth combined with strong winds was too much for the tree, No one as hurt and it looked like damage was limited only to that section of the roof although a final determination wouldn’t be made until the tree is removed and a closer examination can be made.

ABC Unified School District hosted an orientation for 30 volunteer readers Oct. 25 at the District Board Room as part of the Reading Involves School-wide Employees (RISE) Project that was first initiated in 2002.

The Project is a school-wide volun-teer reading program in which non-classroom employees are released from

work to read with a specific student or group of students at a school for one hour each week.

California State President Kathy McGraw 2010-2012 attended the Federation/Reciprocity meeting of the Downey Woman’s Club (DWC) Wednesday November 3, 2010. Rep-resentatives from all thirteen clubs in the Los Cerritos District (LCD) were invited as guests.

The meeting was opened by Presi-dent Barbara Briley-Beard followed by an Inspiration and the Pledge of Al-legiance led by Marjorie Saling. Nancy Watson led the group in singing God Bless America. It is interesting to note Marjorie has been an active member of the GFWC for 73 years and is cur-rently serving on the Woman’s Club of Downey.

State President Kathy McGraw gave a short talk on the importance of in-creasing membership. It was fortuitous that three new members were installed that day in lieu of the State President’s presence. LCD President Suzanne Sea-ger also spoke on some of the District’s recent accomplishments and her goals for the District during the rest of her term.

After a delicious lunch served by ca-terer Ed entertainment was provided by talented musician and soloist Jim Rice.

We would like to send a “special thank you” to all of the ladies from the Arte-sia/Cerritos Women’s Club, the Cerritos

We would also like to thank those ladies who baked cookies for us but de-clined to give their names because they were not looking for praise. Your kind-ness and generosity was also sincerely appreciated.

In addition, and most importantly, we would like to send a special greeting and a very big “thank you” to all of the stu-dents and faculty at Gonsalves Elemen-tary School and Mary Bragg Elementary School for the wonderful and generous donation of socks you provided for our gift bags.

Dr. Urban on Today’s Dentistry

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure

Sometimes I am not sure if this say-ing meant an English pound (or dollar) or a metaphorical weight measure. Let’s briefly explore how this applies to your dental health.\I was recently attending one of my study clubs and listening to an excellent case presentation involving

a complete overhaul of someone’s teeth. The complexity of the case, extractions, implants, lengthy time involvement, the number of specialists consulted, and of course the price tag (which was in the neighborhood of $70,000) was almost overwhelming.

This very extensive treatment and in-vestment was a result of advanced peri-odontal disease that required extractions of all the teeth. Regretfully, all of this could have been prevented.

We know that periodontal disease or “gum and bone disease” starts as a gum infection that can spread to the underly-

ing tooth-supporting bone. Statistically, this is the major reason for tooth loss as an adult. The severity and speed of this painless disease depends on the popula-tions of certain bacteria and your immune system’s response.Prevention includes at least twice daily effective tooth brush-ing, flossing, and regular dental visits. Your dentist can help by prescribing an-ti-microbial rinses, antibiotics, prescrip-tion strength fluoridated toothpastes, and specialized cleaning aids for at home use. I recommend the electric toothbrushes made by Oral-B Braun, Sonicare, and Ro-todent. Each brand has it own individual mechanism of cleaning action. If you use a manual toothbrush, brush thoroughly but gently to prevent tooth and gum injury.

If you smoke, you can stop reading this article. The damgaging effects of smoking throw all the meaningful statis-tics and studies out the window. Systemic diseases such as diabetes can also compli-cate the fight against periodontal disease. Your general dentist or periodontist will consider all health factors and medications when diagnosing the state of health of the supporting structures of teeth (the perio-dontium) before recommending treatment alternatives.

Dentists can help control the damage caused from periodontal disease by re-moving the causative agents that collect below the gum line that the toothbrush is not reaching. Interrupting the daily life of a bacterium is critical. Of course a bacteri-al lifetime may only be twenty minutes so you must adhere to a daily habit of brush-ing. Think of preventative dental care as an investment that cannot be taken from

Sacrament of the Sick at St. Irenaeus

The Sacrament of the Sick will be celebrated on Saturday, December 4, 2010 at 10:00 a.m. at St. Irenaeus Catholic Church located at 5201 Ever-green Avenue in Cypress. There will be a communal Anointing of the Sick and Blessing of the Hands of Caregivers by the priest of the parish during this special Mass.

you in uncertain economic times.Regaining some lost periodontal tis-

sues may be possible with advanced la-ser treatments, tooth recontouring and frequent hygiene visits. A periodontist can perform surgical correction of the gum contours as a result of periodontal disease. Also, teeth can be extracted and replaced with implants. Sometimes this is necessary and not anybody’s fault. Most of the time it is preventable.

Prevention means good daily diet and home care. Have regular dentist visits so early signs of periodontal disease can be treated and stopped. Unfortunately, once we have periodontal disease we are never cured. However, it can be controlled be-fore it becomes very costly to treat.For answers to your dental questions, contact Douglas Urban, D.D.S.Cerritos, CA 90703 562 924-1523www.DrDouglasUrban.com

The Cerritos Regional Chamber of Commerce held its annual Christmas Luncheon Dec. 2 at the Sheraton Cer-ritos Hotel. Nixon Elementary School students provided entertainment with a variety of Christmas songs blended to-gether. The students received prolonged applause from chamber members and

guests as they filed out of the room, smiles on their faces.

Chamber President Dr. Mary Sieu welcomed all those present and wished them a happy holiday season.

Chamber Executive Director Cath-erine Gaughen once again got everyone into the Christmas spirit with a recita-tion of “ The Twelve Days of Christ-mas.” This was followed by Bernice Sandvoal who sang the first lines of the song followed by the members sitting at individual tables finishing a particular segment of the song with gusto. The next Chamber Luncheon will be in January.

For the third year at Our Lady of Fatima school, the House 1 students and teachers performed several patriotic songs and readings to honor our veter-ans and leaders in the Patriotic Program.

Dressed in red, white and blue, the students marched out onto the hall stage. Each song was then introduced by a student, and what followed was pure en-ergy and enthusiasm. House 1 students sang their hearts out, not only proud to demonstrate all they had learned from

their teachers but also to rock out and have fun. Select students jammed on the guitar and dressed as former and present presidents. There were several veterans in attendance along with family and parish members.

Norwalk doomed again by penalties, falls to La Serna in second roundBy Loren Kopff

On a crisp, autumn night last Friday, Norwalk’s football team was hoping to bury the bad memories of losing big games because of penalties. But the host Lancers couldn’t break through that bar-rier and were bounced out of the Califor-nia Interscholastic Federation-Southern Section Southeast Division playoffs by La Serna, 28-21, at Excelsior Stadium.

Norwalk saw the yellow laundry thrown in its direction nine times for 74 yards with at least four of them be-ing major infractions. A pair of penalties early in the fourth quarter cost Norwalk of a \

potential score and as a result, had to punt with 9:38 remaining in the game and down by 14 points.

“We just had too many mistakes on both sides of the ball,” said Norwalk head coach Jesse Ceniceros. “Defensively, it seemed they were just doing whatever they wanted to. We didn’t execute de-fensively where we wanted. Offensively, I thought we shot ourselves in the foot. They were having a hard time stopping us and I think we stopped ourselves with stupid penalties.”

When the host Lancers (7-5 overall) weren’t being penalized, their offense was being slowed by La Serna’s defense which entered the game yielding 11.6 points per game. By halftime, Norwalk had gained only 108 rushing yards and had scored one touchdown. La Serna began the game by going on a 10-play drive that consumed 4:37. But in typi-cal Norwalk fashion, it responded with a 12-play, 80-yard drive that took 6:22. Runs by senior wingbacks Billy Moore and Elijhaa Penny and senior fullback

Andre Thompson led to Moore’s three-yard score.

La Serna, the second ranked team in the division, took the lead for the good with 7:11 remaining in the first half when Richard Alvarez scored from 10 yards out, his second of three touchdowns. Nor-walk was driving into La Serna territory after Moore picked up 12 yards to take the ball to the La Serna 36-yard line. But a holding infraction negated that play and it eventually had to punt.

That led to a four-yard touchdown run from Alvarez with 1:05 left in the half. On that drive, Norwalk was hit with an offside penalty on third and four from the 21-yard line and another one on fourth and one from the seven-yard line.

Despite trailing 21-7 at the half, the hosts came out of the locker room with a vengeance and took another 6:22 off the clock while completing a 13-play, 70-yard drive with a one-yard touchdown run from Penny. A personal foul penalty called against La Serna with Norwalk facing a third and three situation from the five-yard line kept that drive alive.

But the Del Rio League champions were matching Norwalk’s long drives. Following the Penny score, La Serna took nine plays to add on when Andrew Buen-rostro tossed a 27-yard pass to Andrew Rosales. Buenrostro would torment Nor-walk’s defense to the tune of 152 yards on nine completions.

“We knew they were going to put some points on the board but we wanted to be able to put more on the board,” Ce-niceros said. “We wanted to sustain the passes a little bit more and get a little bit more pressure.”

La Serna would have seven drives in the game and did not punt until the middle of the fourth quarter. Meanwhile, down by 14 and pretty much relegated to pass,

the Lancers ran 13 more plays on their last drive of the game which was culmi-nated by a one-yard run from Penny with 68 seconds left. Penny would finish with 98 yards on 25 carries while Moore was limited to 50 yards on 15 carries. Senior quarterback Adrian Diaz completed five of nine passes for 113 yards, all season-highs. Senior safety Johnny Lopez and senior defensive back Aaron Sanchez each had four and a half tackles.

“They had a pretty good game plan,” Ceniceros said. “I think what they want-ed to do was not allow the big runs; the big breaks.”

Norwalk will have its work cut out next season as four offensive linemen graduate in June as well as all but 233 yards of its offensive output. But Cenic-eros is confident his team will still be in contention for a league title and even more.

“Hopefully these younger guys learned their lessons and we’ll be able to get over that hump,” Ceniceros said. “We have a good group of kids coming back next year, so the future looks good.”

coming thru the north lower Church parking lot loaded with turkeys, hot mashed potatoes, dressing, green beans, cranberry sauce, pies, rolls, butter, whipped cream, and lots of smiling faces.

Our crew on hand unloaded the food and sorted it by food categories, directing the church member cars to keep mov-ing and thanking them for helping us make this all happen. We then loaded the turkeys, etc. into our SUVs and Vans and sent them down to the Camp Pendleton Community Center, just inside the San Onofre Gate.

Our advanced crew at the base was busy setting up the tables, chafing dishes, food warmers, and everything else that had to be done. They received the food and got it ready, hot and warm, and set up on two food lines.

I didn't count the exact number of our members who came down to help, but it had to be somewhere around 50 or 60. Some of the members brought their friends and neighbors. Some took their kids out of school in order to help serve dinner and give their thanks to the Ma-rines and their family members.

The Battalion mustered at 1145. 1st Sgt Adam Yakubsin let the Marines in a big "HOORAH" for San Clemente Presbyterian Church. We followed with 3 "HIP HIP HOORAYS". The battalion called the marines and their families to the head of the line followed by the junior enlisted and up thru the ranks until the officers were served last.

We formed a reception line and were able to shake hands and thank the Marines for their service. You talk about a group of handsome, squared away Ma-rines! Those were OUR Marines! We are so proud of them! Most of the Marines at dinner came back last October as a part of Bravo Company, which had spent 7 months in Afghanistan. True Heroes!

now been on Mayfair, which has had a piece of first place the past three sea-sons. But it hasn’t been easy as Cerritos and Norwalk have made things interest-ing the past few seasons. Expect those two to give the Monsoons yet another battle for the league crown. Gahr ushers in a new head coach, John Glenn is poised to make some noise and Valley Christian seeks a much better Olympic League record with a new league align-ment.ARTESIA PIONEERS11-14 overall last season, 6-6 in the Sub-urban League, fifth place, lost to Bishop Montgomery 56-48 in the Division III-AA first round.Head coach: Greg Taylor (third season, 23-29)Team’s record past five seasons: 97-52STARTERS LOSTRaymond Gholar (8.3 points per game last season)Julian Green (17.2)Christian Upshaw (5.8)STARTERS RETURNINGJr. Santiago Fajardo (10.6)Jr. James Floyd (3.8)OTHERS RETURNINGSr. Patrick Hart While the Pioneers have been right at .500 in the Suburban League and ad-vanced to the playoffs with head coach Greg Taylor at the helm, they are still seeking their first winning season since winning the state championship follow-ing the 2006-2007 campaign. Last sea-son, Taylor was dealt with a relatively small team and this year’s squad is even smaller with no more than nine players on the team.“It was a tough season in some as-pects,” Taylor said of last season. “We lost a lot of close games. We only were really beat by Gahr and Price. In the rest of the games, we were pretty much in them. Just like this year, we’re inex-perienced.”Taylor added that the players gave him

what he expected but the graduation of Julian Green, the team’s leading scorer will be tough to overcome this season. Artesia returns only three players in-cluding a pair of junior starters-Santiago Fajardo and James Floyd. Taylor said that Fajardo has improved with his left hand dribbling, his passing and his decision making and is working much harder on his jump shot. However, Fajardo was recently injured and it is possible he might be lost for the season. Floyd, plus senior Patrick Hart, the other returning player, along with senior Micah Kahawaii and junior Brandon Hunt are projected to be starters. The rest of the team will be senior Tyren Harrison and juniors Anthony Gutierrez, Eddie Lindsey and Darious Pyles.Taylor said that Gutierrez, who was slated to be the first one off the bench, won’t be in action for a few more weeks due to an injury. Lindsey will most likely be the first one off the bench until Gutierrez returns. But again, the low numbers will be Taylor’s biggest chal-lenge.“The numbers are challenging,” Taylor said. “The guys who are here are pretty good. It’s just that depth is going to be the name of the game this year. Every foul I’m going to be pulling my hair out. Once someone gets in foul trouble, it could get ugly.”With more teams applying for at-large berths to the postseason if they aren’t an automatic qualifier, it’s that much easier for Artesia to get in even if it finishes with anywhere from eight to 11 overall victories. But, do the Pioneers have enough to finish in the upper half of the league with an inexperienced team? “I thought about that before,” Taylor chuckled. “Ask me that again in Febru-ary and I’ll tell you the answer. I really don’t know. If fate goes my way and guys stay out of foul trouble, then it will

probably be my easiest [season].”CERRITOS DONS17-11 overall last season, 8-4 in the Subur-ban League, tied for second place, lost to Ramona 69-63 in the Division III-AA first round.Head coach: Jonathan Watanabe (ninth season, 120-105)Team’s record past five seasons: 75-66STARTERS LOSTDerek Jones (8.3 in 24 games)Christopher Keseloff (11.0 in 22 games)Sr. Bryan SantosTitus Walden (12.3 in 22 games)STARTERS RETURNINGSr. Aaron Wright (14.1)OTHERS RETURNINGSr. Bryan WilliamsJr. Terrence FultonOnce again, the Dons had a strong season and finished with their highest league placing in well over 13 seasons. But despite those good numbers, Cerri-tos was bounced out in the first round of the playoffs for the third straight season. In fact, Cerritos has not been to the sec-ond round since the 1996-1997 season.“Looking back, it was actually a pretty good season,” said head coach Jonathan Watanabe. “If you would have told us at the beginning of last summer that we would have a chance to win [league] and that we would have been ranked going into playoffs, I would have been really surprised. We had lost so many people and so many good pieces from the year before that I thought last year was almost like a surprise that we did so well.”The Dons lose the majority of last sea-son’s team and return only three players including senior Aaron Wright, who is already being considered as one of the best, if not the best Cerritos boys bas-ketball player by his peers. He returns as the team’s leading scorer and could get close to 20 points a game this season. Look for senior Bryan Williams and junior Terrence Fulton to pick up their scoring as well. Fulton had half a dozen games in which he scored in double

digits as a sophomore.“They’re much improved, all of them, Aaron included,” Watanabe said. “Aar-on was a pretty good player last year and we’re trying to get him to become one of the great players. He might be the best player that I’ve ever coached. I think Joseph Vitug was probably one of the better players but Aaron has a lot of those same tools but he’s a little bit more athletic.”Watanabe has tabbed senior Phillip Kim and either senior Chimdi Nnoli or junior Jacob Badillo as the other two starters. But in an unfamiliar position, Watanabe will be carrying a smaller team as there are only 10 players. Senior Milan Ar-deshna and sophomores Elijah Leonard, Dylan Hirata and Bryan Tong round out the rest of the team.“You never know what happens with foul trouble or injuries or any other thing that may happen throughout the season,” Watanabe said. “We’re actu-ally in a situation where I would like to get started with league right now. We’re ready to go.”Watanabe says that the key to beating Mayfair and possibly winning a league title is playing four quarters instead of three. Mayfair is the only team that Wa-tanabe has yet to defeat despite winning at least eight league contests in the past three seasons.“I think we’re just here to play,” Wa-tanabe said. “We play a lot of different good teams throughout the season. I think it’s just a matter of just playing four good quarters. If you have one bad quarter, it will cost you.”GAHR GLADIATORS27-6 overall last season, 8-2 in the San Ga-briel Valley League, first place, lost to Serra 81-60 in the Division III-A semifinals, lost to Centennial 83-77 in the Division III South-ern California semifinal state playoffs.Head coach: Rick Roper (first season at Gahr)Team’s record past five seasons: 107-46 STARTERS LOSTCharles Nebo (14.2)Sr. Josh Perkins (6.9)Ervin Ware (16.0)STARTERS RETURNINGSr. Davon Potts (21.2)

Jr. Anthony Martinez (11.3)OTHERS RETURNINGSr. Javonte Sales (6.4)Jr. Michael Alvarez Jr. John BensonGahr has been one of the strongest teams in the California Interscholastic Federation-Southern Section the past five seasons under former head coach Bob Becker, winning at least 24 games twice and advancing to at least the semifinals the past two seasons. But he was released of his duties in the offsea-son and Rick Roper takes over with a chance to keep the high flying Gladi-ators on pace for another run of a CIF championship.Roper comes from Nogales where he too had a pair of 20+ victory seasons, taking the Nobles to the Division III-AA semifinals two seasons ago and the III-A quarterfinals three seasons ago.“It wasn’t easy to leave [Nogales] be-cause I left a place where I was happy,” Roper said. “But it was just a challenge I couldn’t pass up. I had been at Nogales for about seven or eight years and it was my first head coaching opportunity, so I thought I would try something differ-ent.”Last season, Gahr raced out to a 14-0 start and did not lose a game on its own home court. Two of its regular season losses were on neutral sites while the other two were at Lynwood and at Para-mount. During that 14-0 start, the Gladi-ators never scored below 72 points.“We followed Gahr and its success and knew it was right up there with a chance to win [a] CIF [championship] every year,” Roper said.Roper inherits a team that returns five players but four of them could combine to give the Gladiators one of the top starting lineups in the Southern Section. Senior Davon Potts figures to add a few more points to his average of last season while senior Javonte Sales and junior Michael Alvarez have the potential to score in double figures, giving Gahr possibly a quartet of double digit scor-ers. Those four already scored at least 11 points in the season opener against Artesia. Roper said that junior John

Benson will be the other starter of a team that has 14 players.Joining the varsity squad will be seniors Amos Alumno, Jazzy Kruczynski, Romann Pangilinan, Marcus Reynolds, Orlando Thompson, Eric Wun, junior Connor MacDonald and sophomores Kyle Benton and Brian Nebo. Roper said that he sees Benson having a break-out year.The Gladiators have finished in the top three in the San Gabriel Valley League for five straight seasons including a pair of league titles. But Roper isn’t just ready to say that his team will make it two league titles in a row.“I don’t really worry about expecta-tions,” Roper said. “I just take it one day at a time and try to keep on improving.”JOHN GLENN EAGLES3-21 overall last season, 0-12 in the Subur-ban League, seventh place.Head coach: Darin Elisaldez (fourth season, 9-67)Team’s record past five seasons: 24-103STARTERS LOSTJesus Cervantes (3.3)Jose Escobar (8.2)Andy FigueroaWill Perez (6.0)Carlos Silva (4.0)STARTERS RETURNINGNoneOTHERS RETURNINGSr. Andy AguirreSr. Hector CarrilloSr. Ed McConnellSr. Toby NismalSr. Adrian SedanoJr. Daryl AmirolJr. Anthony EscobarThere is reason to smile around the John Glenn program this season as the Eagles aim to make a trip to the playoffs for the first time since the 1999-2000 season. There has been a new attitude change, one that suits the liking of head coach Darin Elisaldez, and with a squad that is top heavy in seniors, the Eagles could very well prove many wrong.“This particular senior class…I got these kids when they were freshmen,” Elisaldez said. “I spoke to a couple of the returnees and they are gung-ho about being successful.

least 10 victories and that came during the season before Elisaldez took over. The last time Glenn has had a .500 league record was the 1999-2000 sea-son. The players know about the recent futility and they’re ready to change things.“They haven’t said anything to me other than enough is enough,” Elisaldez said. “I believe Andy [asked] everyone, ‘aren’t you sick of losing, because I’m tired of it.’ That’s happened a couple of times during fall league.”

have changed. There have been more floor burns since I’ve been here. The te-nacity at practice is upbeat. There are no clicks on the floor. There are no hidden agendas. It’s not about me, myself and I anymore and it’s refreshing.”The Eagles lost their entire starting line-up but the key player to watch is senior Andy Aguirre, who was brought up at the beginning of league action and aver-aged 5.6 points in the final 12 games of the season. He was also the team’s lead-ing rebounder in league games and flew under the radar towards the end of last season. Look for him to average at least 15 points and 15 rebounds per game.Elisaldez has already tabbed Aguirre, senior Toby Nismal, junior Daryl Ami-rol, sophomore Ray Vergara and either junior Nick Vasquez or freshman Ardale Encabo as the starters. Vasquez was the most valuable player the past two seasons of both of the lower level teams. According to Elisaldez, Encabo ‘might be the young man with the highest basketball IQ since I’ve been here’ and is explosive, fearless and humble. He also projects Amirol and senior Adrian Rodriquez to average double digits in scoring which would be a pleasant complement to Aguirre.“I want 10 wins,” Elisaldez said. “I believe we can get that. I know we can get wins in league if we stay injury free and if our legs are fresh. Obviously early “W’s” in preseason will help our confidence to achieve such a feat.”Also joining the team will be seniors Robert Gonzales, MacEo Moore and Chris Sandoval and junior Robert King. Since at least the 1998-1999 season, the Eagles have had just one season of at

to learn the importance of reading for a successful future.”

ABC Deputy Superintendent Mary Sieu thanked the volunteers for tak-ing time out of their busy schedules to participate in the Project. “The District hopes to raise the reading achievement of students and to support the efforts of certificated employees in raising student achievement,” Sieu said.

Research shows that avid readers read better, write better, and concentrate better; are quicker to see subtleties; have an easier time processing new information; and have a better chance for a successful, fulfilling adult life.

Volunteers this year include Cer-ritos Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Catherine Gaughen, ABC Board President Celia Spitzer and Cer-ritos Planning Commissioner Cindy Yen Chen.

Kennedy Elementary School teacher Jeniece Ewald said, “All 19 ABC elementary schools can benefit from the Project and the benefits are huge. The students bond easily to you and will expect to see you week after week. They’re really disappointed if you don’t show up.”

Partnering with ABC is the Cer-ritos Regional Chamber of Commerce, sponsors of the Chamber’s APPLE Literacy Program. APPLE (Advanc-ing Professionals’ and Pupils’ Learning Experiences), a program founded by the Chamber’s Business and Education Council.

The purpose of APPLE is to encour-age employers to allow their employees to volunteer in K-12 classes in the ABC School District once a week for 1 hour to help improve reading and compre-hension skills and to provide individual tutoring. The goal of this innovative program is to bring business, educa-tion, and community leaders together to build a quality workforce.

Surveys show that most employees would like to volunteer in the commu-nity, but are unable to because of their busy work and personal schedules. By allowing their employees to volunteer their time – on company time – once a week, the children will benefit from the increased attention and mentors, your business and employees will benefit from the positive effects of volunteer-ing, and ultimately the business com-munity will benefit from the business-education partnership with a more skilled and educated workforce.

Employee volunteer schedules will be customized to each volunteer’s de-sired age and class level, preferred time period, and requested school.

If you would like to get involved in the APPLE/RISE Program, you are encouraged to send as many employees as you would like to participate in this program contact Catherine Gaughen at the Cerritos Regional Chamber of Com-merce at: 562/467-0800 or Ann Griffo at ABC Unified School District at: 562/926-5566 ext. 21197.

and training that will allow them to be effective teachers and role models for our players.”

The league is open to boys and girls, ages 4-15, from the cities of Cerritos, Artesia, La Palma, Buena Park, and surrounding communities. It is a brand new baseball program affiliated with Babe Ruth League, Inc. Frontier will offer Cal Ripken Divisions for ages 4-12 and a Babe Ruth Division for players age 13-15. League officials place such an emphasis on coaching that they have created a special position on their Board. Bart Yamachika will serve as Frontier’s Director of Player and Coach Development.

“My position will focus on two things, initially: the creation of player development standards and training for our coaches” Yamachika said. “We want to implement a training standard in all of our playing divisions so that our coaches know what skills to focus on with their players. The skill levels will increase as our players get older and by the time they graduate from our program, he or she will have had the opportunity to learn proper baseball skills.”

The Cal Ripken and Babe Ruth programs require all coaches to become certified through an online training course. In addition to the online classes, the league will further develop its coaches by having them attend local training camps, such as the Tom Hicks coaching clinic.

Our Major’s Division is different from other local programs, says Yama-chika, “Our 11 and 12 year olds will enjoy playing on an intermediate size field and using official baseball rules. They will have the opportunity to do all the things they see their big league heroes doing, like lead-offs and pick-off moves.”

As a first year sports organiza-tion, the league must purchase all new baseball equipment including catcher’s gear, uniforms, bases, and field mainte-nance equipment. “In our first year of operation, our fundraising efforts our paramount to our success” said Lacayo. “We are a non-profit corporation and are exploring a variety of sponsorships from local businesses to help us deliver a quality baseball program to our youth players.”

League officials registered 30 play-ers during their first registration event in November and expect to register another 200 by January.

For more information about the league or to inquire about sponsor-ship opportunities, contact the Frontier Youth Baseball League at (562) 295-8102 or visit www.frontierbaseball.org.

and staff, as well as other resources at the college, helped him overcome chal-lenges and prepared him to transfer to UC Berkeley in legal studies. That same year he began volunteering as a mentor of Operation Hope, a non-profit orga-nization which aims to empower un-

derserved communities. He facilitated workshops on financial literacy and life skills in the inner cities of Los Angeles County. When his graduate mentors and Cerritos College counselors strongly en-couraged him to complete an internship to gain hands-on experience relevant to-ward his career goals, he asked himself with whom he would like to work. At the top of his short list was Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Saborio interned in the Washing-ton D.C. office of Speaker Nancy Pelosi, which provided him with a firsthand look at the possibilities for his future career. During the internship, he worked closely with Speaker Pelosi's counsel, policy advisers, and administrative staff. He was able to get a glimpse of what the life of a national political leader is like from close proximity. Witnessing how Speaker Pelosi carried herself and inter-acted with her office staff while driving an impressive legislative agenda inspired Saborio with the kind of leadership he one day hopes to emulate. Saborio wit-nessed many historical events during his time in D.C., such as the confirmation of Elena Kagan, the trial of Charles Ran-gel, the passage of the Banking Reform Act, debate on BP oil spill legislation, and one of the few times in U.S. history where Congress – after being dismissed for summer recess – was asked by the Speaker to return to vote on legislation. Though he completed his congressional internship, he is far from done for the year. For the remainder of the year he will complete his first semester at Berke-ley while preparing his application for UC Student Regent for 2012-2013. On the academic side, after completing his bachelor's degree, he plans on either pur-suing a Juris Doctorate with an emphasis in constitutional law or a Ph.D. in edu-cation policy. His career goals include becoming the first gay Latino U.S. Con-gressman for the second Congressional District of Louisiana, which encompass-es his hometown of New Orleans. Sabo-rio's career ambitions stem not only from his exposure to politics in Nicaragua and Washington D.C., but also from his per-sonal experiences. Growing up in Loui-siana, he faced many challenges because of his ethnic background and sexual identity. He knew he was gay from a very young age and was one of four Latinos in a predominantly Caucasian school. He always felt out of place. "For a long time I felt ashamed about my heritage and who I was," he said. Saborio sees the role of a legislative leader as an opportunity to take responsibility for the betterment of underrepresented communities. "I am particularly interested in representing La-tinos, African-Americans, and the LGBT community in the South, where, to this day, they are discriminated against and are denied the opportunity for advance-ment," said Saborio. He would also like to take his volunteer work with foster and underrepresented youth to the next level through involvement in education policy. With an impressive record of overcom-ing challenges while continually helping others, this future leader is well on his way to achieving his dreams of helping the underserved communities.

BASEBALLContinued from page 1 wonderful evening with the theme of

"Rock'n to the Golden Oldies" with mu-sic and entertainment provided by the group called the "Rock-Its Hi-lites Re-view" throughout the evening. Master of Ceremonies was the Honorable Ralph D. Rodriguez, Councilmember of the City of La Palma. Rodriguez introduced Fr. Patrick Moses, Pastor of St. Irenaeus Church, who offered the opening prayers. Rodriguez then invited guests to par-ticipate in the Silent Auction and Raffle Sales for the many baskets that had been prepared by Silent Auction Chairperson Dianna Rodriguez and H.O.P.E commit-tee members.

Guests then enjoyed the delicious dinner of Knotts' famous Chicken Din-ner. Everyone seemed to enjoy the music that was played because the dance floor was filled with dancers whenever the band played.

Fr. Patrick and Sr. Irma Gomez also got into the spirit of the dances by join-ing parishioners on the dance floor.

M.C. Ralph Rodriguez announced the winner of the limited edition of the John Wayne Winchester Air Rifle which was issued to commemorate 100 years since John Wayne's birth. The rifle was donated by John Wayne's grandson, Fr. Matthew Munoz, to help raise funds for the needy through a raffle. Ruth Burns first won the rifle at the St. Irenaeus Fi-esta this past summer, and then donated for the H.O.P.E. fundraiser.

The highlight of the H.O.P.E. fund-raiser was the live auction that took place toward the end of the evening. M.C. Ralph Rodriguez became the auctioneer and carried on a lively auction to raise more funds for H.O.P.E.

Co-Chairman Bob Sgobba, said that over $16,000 was raised at the 2009 an-nual fundraiser last year. He said that it was the highest amount ever raised over the past previous 20 years. He hoped that this year's fundraiser would have a profit of between $10,000 or $12,000 after ex-penses have been paid. He was pleased that so many people came to support the fundraiser in spite of the difficult eco-nomic times of today.

This year has been especially difficult for many families with the cost of food supplies rising dramatically and food bank warehouses being at historically low levels. In spite of these difficulties, Rodriguez said that H.O.P.E. boasts a policy that "Nobody is ever turned away empty handed, and our over 100 volun-teers make sure that H.O.P.E. is packed in every bag of food we serve." H.O.P.E.'s Christmas food and gift distribution is set for Saturday, December 18, 2010, at 8:30 a.m. on the grounds of St. Ire-naeus Church at 5201 Evergreen Avenue in Cypress. Persons who wish to help wrap Christmas gifts for the children of needy families can come to the Educa-tion Building on Tuesday, December 14th at 9:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. Turkeys and donations of food, especially cereal, are still needed to fill Christmas baskets for the families. For more information about H.O.P.E. or to lend a helping hand, contact H.O.P.E. Chairperson Dianna Rodriguez or Ralph Rodriguez at 714-612-4237 or e-mail [email protected].
