InsideArtesia Prepares for 50th Anniversary PartyBy Jerry Bernstein

Los Cerritos Community News will publish special commemorative edition.

Preparation for Artesia’s 50th Anniversary party in October is proceeding at a fast clip.

In it annual report to the Council at its Sept. 14 meeting, Artesia Historical Society retir-ing President Veronica Bloom-field and incoming President Barbara Applebury said the AHS assisted staff in locating former City Mayors and Council Mem-bers inviting them to the city’s 50th Jubilee Dinner on Feb. 27 where they were recognized.

In addition the AHS is in the process of locating memorabilia in the city storage, including albums of the Dairyland Fair [1950’s-60’s] that was sponsored by the Artesia Chamber of Com-merce and were salvaged.

Photographs were preserved and placed them in acid free binders for viewing in the future The AHS also provided memo-rabilia and photographs for the City’s power point presentation of Artesia’s history. Plans also moved forward with an exhibi-tion, a parade up Pioneer Boule-vard, which Councilman Larry Nelson described as huge, and a two-day carnival in Artesia Park on Oct. 9-11.

Applebury said the Society is revisiting the proposed Time Capsule project first presented to the Council on June 8. Former Mayor John Lyons has offered to build a wooden box made of Red Wood to house the capsule. that will located in the old Fire Sta-tion 30 now a museum. She said it will be located in a bay at the back wall and will be securely bolted down.

She said the idea for the monuments is to have two bronze plaques, one for outside the building and one for in-side which will be on the Time Capsule wooden box. The plaque

Cerritos Prayer Breakfast Committee Plans for Oct. 21 Event

By Jerry Bernstein

Assemblyman Tony Men-doza, speaking before members of the Cerritos

Regional Chamber of Commerce Sept. 17 at the Sheraton Cerritos Hotel, said one of the toughest challenges we face [the legisla-ture] is balancing the budget. He said this entails cutting funds to many state programs, including education and prisons.

He said there was no single answer how California’s budget meltdown happened. He said when times were good, both Governor Gray Davis and Gov-ernor Arnold Schwarzenegger along with the legislature spent the money that poured into the state’s coffers as if it would last

Hawaiian Gardens, faces a $2.5 million state raid on its redevelopment funds unless the courts blocks it, with an addition-al $500,000 in 2011. In a report to the city council at its Oct. 22 meeting, City Finance Director/Treasurer David Sung said the California Redevelopment As-sociation [CRA] is preparing to file a lawsuit in October chal-lenging the constitutionality of

Hawaiian Gardens Supports Suit Against State’s “Raid” on Redevelopment Funds to Balance Budget

the legislation that provides for the “illegal” shift of $2.05 billion in local development funds over the next two years.

Not only is Hawaiian Gar-dens facing the loss of redevel-opment money, but most cities throughout the state. He said if the courts don’t block the “raid,” the city would need to decide how to meet its annual financial obligations of bond issues, which are due on June 1, 2010. “We probably would need to borrow from the city’s Low-Mod Fund [

20 percent of Revenue from tax increment collected by the Rede-velopment Agency] or from the City’s reserve to meet our debt requirement,” he said.

The CRA was successful in blocking a 2008 proposed shift of $350 million in redevelop-ment funds as unconstitutional in Sacramento Superior Court. The State claims the 2009 budget

indefinitely."The state spends its money

on the things people want. This includes education, Prisons, recreation and a safety net for the poor. Prisons, for example, became overpopulated due to tough on crime laws that were passed. At the same time Sales tax receipts have gone down, the same goes for income taxes." He went on to say that three decades ago income taxes made up about a third of the state’s revenue. In the fiscal year 2007-08 it made up 52.9 percent of the budget.

2009 La Palma Citizen of the Year Award Winner AnnouncedBy Larry Caballero

Long-time La Palma resident Ken Blake remembers the day in 1971 when he first moved into the city with his wife Karen. It wasn’t long before they began get-ting involved in local school programs including the Ken-nedy High School’s Booster Club when their children were teenagers. Now 35 years later, Blake has been chosen as the 2009 Cypress College Citizen of the Year Americana Award winner for his many years of community involvement and service to La Palma and sur-rounding communities. He was honored for always mak-ing himself available for any project that the City needed volunteers, and his financial background served the City well as a member of a Blue Ribbon Finance Committee appoint-ed by the City Council.

Blake was one of the original members appointed to the Cultural and Beautifica-tion Committee that was responsible for developing activities for the community such as the Concerts in the Park, Home

Beautification Awards and Arbor Day. He has been actively involved in plan-ning for the La Palma Days Parade that was established over 20 years ago, and he was responsible for furnishing the city with numerous vintage cars. Blake has also devoted much of his time to promote outreach programs for youth and other philanthropic activities as a member of the Kiwanis Club of La Palma.

Blake will be also be remembered for serving 12 years on the La Palma City

Council from December 1994 to December 2006 and served three times as Mayor. He supported activities of the League of California Cities, and on the state level he was Chair and Vice-Chair of the Com-munity Services Committee and served on the Commu-nity Services Department Program Planning Commit-tee and Annual Conference Resolutions Committee.

As a result of the Orange County’s period of financial problems, the Orange Coun-

ty Library Advisory Board was instituted and Blake was appointed and ultimately served as Chair and Vice-Chair. He also represented the City while on Council on the Orange County Fire Authority as Chair and Vice-Chair.

Once he left the Council, Blake con-tinued serving the city as a member of La Palma’s Traffic Committee.

Ken Blake La Palma Citizen of the Year

The Rotary Club of Artesia-Cerritos joined Artesia city officials in a visit to Jamay, Mexico, a city about the size of Artesia located about 75 miles Southeast of Guadalajara.

The city of Artesia has had a sister city relationship with Jamay for four or five years. During the past three years, the Rotary Club has joined Artesia and is now establishing a sister club relationship with the Jamay Rotary Club. Representatives usually visit during Mexican Indepen-dence Day (known as El Grito) on Sept. 16.

The program was started by Pete Ochoa, a well known businessman in Ar-tesia and member of the Rotary Club. The

goal is to improve relations between the two cities and respective Rotary Clubs. Artesia Mayor Tony Lima, a Rotary Club member, presented Jamay Mayor Martin Romero Ramirez with a proclamation. Rotary President Manu Patel and Sug Ki-tahara also attended. Joint projects include fire/safety, education, and health related activities. Representatives from Jamay have visited Artesia several times.

The Rotary Club of Artesia-Cerritos meets every Monday at 12 Noon at Hometown Buffet. For more information, contact Dr. Steve Sherman at 562 926-1097.

Speaker Outlines Street Gang RelationshipTo Mexican Mafi a at Optimist MeetingBy Jerry Bernstein

Michael A. Enomoto, Deputy District Attorney in the Hardcore Gang Division, said the Hawaiian Gardens Vario Gang has a direct relationship to the Mexican Mafia, the same as other Hispanic Gangs in Southern California.

Speaking before members of the Cerritos Optimist Club he said gangs are heavily involved in drug sales, which is a multi-million dol-lar business. Santa Muerte is the God of Drugs in Mexico. “Hispanic gang members are often called “Sureno,” with the number 13 being a symbol of “Sureno” and can be found in gang graf-fiti. He said it means the gang is loyal to the Mexican Mafia. All Hispanic gangs are affiliated with “Sureno.”

The Mexican Mafia controls every-thing, including the flow of drugs into the United States.

The Deputy District Attorney de-scribed gangs as having a perverse way of thinking. “They want respect and the way they get it is through fear and intimidation. They believe they earn it by comtting crime. He described gangs as being territorial. They intimidate members of the community, creating an environment of fear.

He said establishing a territory to a gang means money through taxes, extortion, and recruitment of new gang members. “They do not obtain territory lawfully,” he stated. “”They claim parks, and streets, for example, and use violence to seize and retain control.” He said they commit crimes openly and boldly to cre-ate public fear. “The greater the violence, the greater the fear, which they believe creates greater respect.” He defined their

thinking and values as being upside down.“Gang tattoos are like merit badges to

them and new gang members must earn them. They are also hypersensitive about disrespect. If this is shown to them, they have to save face and take revenge. If a member of another gang walks through their territory without being invited it’s considered disrespectful. Someone who “rats” or “snitches” on them is automati-cally marked for death. In the world of gangs, talking to the police is punishable by death.

Vario GangTurning to the Hawaiian Gardens

Vario Gang, he said they first surfaced in the 1950’s. He described the gang as a multi-generation gang who claim all of Hawaiian Gardens, There are 1,000 docu-

mented members who really have no fear and said take from people be-cause they believe they can. “They have no [normal]

values”, he said. “Gangs start recruiting in middle

school, sometimes in the fourth or fifth grade. By the time the kids are in high school they are gang members.”

They also pride themselves as being racists. They hate African Americans and will shoot them for no apparent reason. Enomoto related an episode involving two Negro kids who were skateboarding. A 30-year-old gang member assaulted them. He said one reason they hate black people is because they fear black gangs might move in on their turf.

“As a result of the recent gang sweeps, 142 gang members have been prosecuted resulting in 85 convicted and are now in jail. In Hawaiian Gardens crime has dropped 50 percent in recent years. Kids are no longer afraid to play outside.”

He concluded by saying the Gang Injunctions are a major weapon in curtailing gang activity, which prohibits members to congregate in public and denies them from be-ing out at night. If they break curfew, they are arrested.

“Gangs start recruiting in middle school, sometimes in the fourth or fifth grade. By the time the kids are in high

school they are gang members.”

Taking the Next StepBy Jerry Bernstein

Progress in societycomes through actionnot through loud protest.

Much has been said about the recent gang sweeps that have taken place by federal and local law enforcement officials. Most citizens applaud the action that hopefully will make the streets safer for law abiding residents and their children.In the city of Hawaiian Gardens for in-stance, some have cried fowl and have apparently expressed concern about what they call continued harassment of gang family members.They are calling for an end of the Gang In-junction, which prohibits gang members

from congregating in public and who have had been restricted indoors at night by a curfew, an end to the Sheriff helicopter surveillance and stopping the establish-ment of a city police department.Apparently it doesn’t matter that crime in the city has dropped by more than 50 percent in the last three years or the fact parents are no longer afraid to let their children play outside or walk home from school. Nor does it matter that there has not been a recent fatal shooting in the city.In nice to see concern expressed about the families of those gang members who have been arrested and who will be serving time in prison, but one needs to remember that members of the Hawaiian Gardens Vario Gang are second, third and fourth genera-tion family members of the gang. Where were those who are now crying harassment then? Where were their voices when inno-cent people were shot and harassed by the gang members?It’s true vengeance does nothing but kindle the fires of hatred. Hawaiian Gardens has many programs that reach out to its chil-dren, but its up to the parents and commu-nity-at- large to set them on the right path. Accusations that members of the city coun-cil are in cahoots with the Los Angeles Sheriff Department because they voted to renew the city’s contract with the Depart-ment for five more years of law enforce-ment is ridiculous. It appears that those who are against the contract would rather see the city fall back into anarchy and cor-ruption while the gangs once more terror-ized the good citizens of the city. It’s going to take time, but Hawaiian Gar-

dens has a council that is now determined to make the city law abiding and a safe place for its residents. Those who are cry-ing harassment need to join the rest of the city in an outreach program to the families of those who have been arrested and be-gin the long arduous task of showing them there is a better way to live besides kill-ings, drugs and welfare abuse.

A Million Thanks and Furguson API Test Scores Tossed Out One Million Readers:

This week someone, somewhere on this planet will log on to my blog (www.Econo-my4ABC.Blogspot.com), and will become my ONE MILLIONTH reader.

This is mind boggling for me to com-prehend, and I just wanted to say thanks for allowing me to share a little part of my world with you during these past 4 years.

In 2005, on the first day I published my Blog, I had less than 10 readers, and nearly all of them lived on my street here on the Eastside of Cerritos.

I now have regular readers in more than 115 Countries, 1,200 cities, towns, ham-lets, villages, and outposts in places I have never heard of, but would love to visit one day.

My blog has been controversial to some, and a daily ritual for others.

Since I started advertising my Blog here in the LCCN a little more than 16 weeks ago, I have had more than 45,000 NEW people connect to my blog and “The World Around Us.” It pays to advertise, and the LCCN is a proven jewel here in our rich and ethnically diverse community.

So, I wanted to just say “thank you” a million times over and it’s on to the next posting!

API Tests At Furguson Tossed Out by StateFurguson Elementary School in Hawaiian Gardens had its state accountability results thrown out this year after the ABC Uni-fied School District found that a 3rd Grade teacher had inappropriately coached stu-dents while they took standardized tests.

Because of this misdeed by the un-named teacher, Furguson Elementary, lo-cated at 22215 Elaine Ave., will not receive an Academic Performance Index score as part of the state school accountability sys-tem.

API serves as a barometer of student achievement and determines whether a school has met its academic growth targets for the year.

Furguson will be ineligible for two years for state performance awards like the California Distinguished School Award, according to John Boivin, administrator for the Standardized Testing and Reporting Program Office at the California Depart-ment of Education.

So, here’s the low down on how the “alleged” cheating took place:

When reviewing the testing booklets to erase any stray pencil marks, a Teacher at Ferguson noticed that a booklet from one 3rd Grade teacher's classroom had an “un-usual” amount of erasures that changed in-correct answers to correct responses, said Boivin.

When approached, the student in ques-tion claimed to have been “coached” dur-ing the test by this "unnamed 3rd Grade Teacher."

“Coached” to cheat? Are you kidding me?Additional student interviews and a re-view of test answer booklets in the class indicated “inappropriate coaching,” and according to published reports in the Long Beach Press Telegram, one test booklet had 33 questions in which wrong answers had been erased and changed to correct responses, the district's investigation re-vealed.

Because the alleged cheating affected at least 5 percent of the school's tested stu-dents, state rules forbid Ferguson from re-ceiving an API score this year.

Listen, Furguson Elementary School has lots of wonderful teachers, and great students. The misdeeds of a few sneaky teachers have caused a huge black eye to the image of this campus that has been through rough times recently.

Why do we tolerate any cheating on State Testing from any teacher?

It’s a sad commentary on our education system when we see these activities oc-cur. I applaud the ABC School District for making sure that this never happens again!

CCPA REVIEWKool and the Gang Bring the Party to CerritosBy Glen Creason

Friday night was party night at the Center for the Performing Arts which almost sounds formal in comparison to the sweaty, full throttle funk-a-thon that took place there for a couple of high octane hours. On a big, Vegas-style stage twelve of the gang filled the hall with thick, bass and percussion heavy sounds that the exceedingly rowdy crowd reacted to by staying on their feet for the entire set. The sound came in fuzzy walls of bumps and grinds with all the complexity of Atari Pong from the decade when Kool and this same gang made their first hit records. This is not lyrics driven music, it is booty-driven and there was much shaking of that same part of the anatomy and points north in front of the stage. Pity the house staff that was overwhelmed by well-oiled en-thusiasts who were invited by the band up to hug the footlights where the fire lines are drawn. Oh well, it was quite a sight to see even if it did invite chaos. The evening opened with “Fresh” and most certainly gave a hint at what would follow as the entire place got up on their feet and danced. For the most part this kind of energetic pulse continued with others of a similar vein including “Step-ping,” “Hollywood Swinging,” “Jungle Boogie” and “Funky Stuff” which gave the crowd some pounding groove that allowed them to show off their stuff, espe-cially the many highly pneumatic ladies in their Fredericks of Hollywood ensembles, many of whom could not have been born when the song first hit the airwaves. There were some tunes that gave some hint of balladry like “Take My Heart” or “Cher-ish” but even the love song “Joanna” never allowed pulse rates to get lower than about a hundred. The sound was such a monolith it was not easy to find the many guitar and horn solos but in those moments when they sliced through

the bass and percussion it was obvious that the men were accomplished at those instruments. Still, this music is not about sitting and pondering life’s mysteries, it’s about getting up and letting the rest of the folks see you dance. The crowd was often compelled to sing along with their dancing and one of the highlights of the show was a young woman who was invited up on stage in a rather scintillating bit of audience partici-pation, doing one full, very sexy minute of the huckle-buck or some such thing. The show finished with a torrent of funky Kool and the Gang hit sounds including the obligatory “Ladies Night” that really was enjoyable from where I sat, craning my neck to take in all the feminine finery up front. “Get Down On It” was pumping up the energy to what looked like a finale but after a wild drum solo interlude the gang returned for the “Celebration” that made sure no one went home with dry clothes.

Periodontal disease turns out to be a very complicated process that can vary greatly from one person to the next. Basi-cally, dentists are now aware that there are over two dozen different bacteria that can team up in different numbers and infect the gum tissues that normally form little tight collars around the teeth. The bacterial invasion will creep down past these collars and onto the roots. The body will fight back with its immune system and the gums will bleed. Prolonged exposure will result in gum recession, bleeding, swelling, pus, bone loss and eventually tooth loss.

Treatment of periodontal disease is also a complicated process. We must remove the invading bacteria, cleanse the root surfaces, and maintain the healing site until gums are fully restored to nor-mal health. In moderate to advanced con-ditions this has traditionally been done with surgical techniques involving cutting the gums, exposing the roots, removal of hardened bacterial, reshaping the support-ing bone, and stitching everything back together.

I believe this is pretty common knowledge and perhaps this has made people fearful of the periodontal “solu-tion”. Remember, periodontal disease does not hurt until the teeth become very loose and have to be extracted. Now we have a technique that should remove the fear of treating periodontal disease.

LANAP (Laser-assisted new attach-ment procedure) is a minimally invasive procedure that avoids the cutting and

stitching associated with periodontal sur-gery. The technique removes the bacteria, cleanses the roots, and stimulates new gum and bone growth around infected teeth without the post-operative discomfort associated with traditional surgery. It is performed in one or two phases with just local numbing agents.

Simply put the laser is attracted to dark matter (bacteria and calculus) that is

residing in the gums and in the surface of the tooth. Diseased tissue around the tooth is vaporized so the doctor can peer under the gums with magnification. Hardened calculus deposits are removed and the laser again is used to develop a clot that forms a seal like an “O ring” around the neck of the tooth leaving the remaining tissues intact and untouched. Healing and regeneration in an undisturbed sterile environment will then begin. Teeth are slightly adjusted so they hit together in balanced harmony.

Dr. Eric Johnson, who recently joined my staff and is trained and licensed with the perio laser, has performed this proce-dure for several years. He has performed it on many of my patients and I have seen some astounding results. In addi-tion to the regeneration of bone growth, patients heal very fast. There is very little bleeding, no stitches needed and they can resume their normal activities with little or no down time. It is exciting to see a proce-

dure that can stop the ravages of peri-odontal disease without having to resort to periodontal surgery. The cost is less that two implants with crowns or about the same for extractions and dentures. The re-sult is that you may continue to have your own teeth serve you for years to come.

Don’t let fear make you wait before it is too late. Check the alternatives before your teeth are hopeless.

Overcome Challenges and Move ForwardBy Larry Caballero

Brian Tom has been visually im-paired for over 17 years, but that has not stopped him from being actively involved in his community and reach-ing out to others who are also physically challenged. He recently celebrated with the Cerritos Chamber of Commerce and

local residents and friends at his Grand Reopening Sept. 22 in his new location at 13047 Artesia Blvd., Suite 204, in Cer-ritos above the offices of the Los Cerritos Community News.

Tom is the owner and co-founder of four businesses—California Educa-tion Centers, Inc. (CEC), Blind Start of America (BSA), Brian Tom Speaks and America’s Visionary Promotions. “CEC is celebrating its 17th anniversary having served thousands of students with the mission to help every student reach his or her highest academic and social poten-tial,” said Tom.

It offers many off-site programs as it partners with school districts from Inglewood to San Juan Capistrano. “It’s all about building relationships and shar-ing the vision.” One program is named ASES—After School Enrichment and Safety program that is mostly funded by the state and provides a high quality of tutoring at an affordable rate. The goals are to re-enforce California standards with favorable results and accountability by highlighting student achievement and improved test scores. Public speaking and theatre arts are also taught. “We are always trying to complement what teach-ers are doing everyday in the classroom and to find those niche programs that would benefit the school curriculum the most,” said Tom.

BSA is a non-profit, charitable orga-nization with the mission to help blind and visually impaired persons learn and develop job skills to lead lives of inde-pendence.

It is planning a “premiere Visionary Experience…Blindfolded: Dinner in the Dark,” on Saturday, October 10 at the Sheraton Cerritos Hotel. The event is

being promoted as “an evening filled with pungent flavors, textures, and aromas, creating a tantalizing experience that you will cherish forever!” Add a silent and live auction with great entertainment and what’s there not to like.

Table Sponsors will receive lots of goodies beginning with preferred seating, special recognition and a private blind-folded wine tasting with Tom himself before the dinner. Tom is planning to pub-lish three books in the near future. He is co-authoring his first book with Jack Can-

field, author of “Chicken Soup for the Soul” series, and self-help guru Deepak Chopra. The book is entitled “Stepping Stones to Suc-cess,” and its purpose is to assist readers in overcoming their chal-lenges and achieving success.

His second book describes the new sensa-

tion of blind mud running, and his third is entitled “The College Gold Mine,” a book to assist students and their families to understand how to get into college and be successful when they get there. “Parents and their children need to understand what a great investment education is for their future,” said Tom.

On July 25 Tom was one of only 14 recipients of a Community Service Award that was bestowed on him in front of 350 guests on the USS Midway by the Asian Heritage Society and Asia Media, Inc. at a black tie event. On Aug. 25 he spoke at the Staples Center before a Los Angeles Sparks game as part of Asian American

Heritage Night. Tom is not only Asian, but he also is part Mexican and Native American. Tom’s fourth business is Vi-sionary Promotions that markets products such as silk-screen tee shirts, caps and key chains to various groups and organizations that help them raise money for various causes. A portion of the proceeds goes to Blind Start of America

Tom said, “I have dedicated my life to serving others and helping my clients to overcome challenges in their lives and to compete successfully with others, and at the same time to achieve their grandest goals and dreams. It’s all about stretching their comfort zone.”

He considers himself a motivational speaker who just happens to be visually impaired and has overcome his disability and fears. You can contact him at his California Education Centers website at www.cectutoring.com or his Blind Start of America website at www.blindstart.org or call him at 562-860-7633.

A Ribbon Cutting Ceremony marked the re-opening of new offices for Brian Tom at 13047 Artesia Blvd., Suite 207 in Cerritos. Among those participating were Cerritos Councilmembers Jim Edwards, Carol Chen, Mayor Pro Tem Joseph Cho, Chamber President Chris Halderson mem-bers of Tom’s staff and Chamber.

Crime SummarySeptember 14 – 20

Twenty-seven Part I felony crimes were investigated last week, down from thirty-four the previous reporting period. Robberies, vehicle burglaries, and vehicle thefts were up, while residential and commercial burglaries were down. 358 calls for service were handled compared to 374 the week before. The current 2009 weekly average in calls for service now stands at 325.

Three robberies were logged. On Monday September 14 at 12:50 p.m. a male suspect entered a gas station in the 17200 block of Bloomfield Avenue and simulated a handgun. Cash was relinquished from the register by an employee. At 3:50 on Friday September 18, a lone male walked into a bank in the 11300 block of South Street and threat-ened to assault a teller if she failed to give him money. She did and the suspect fled on foot. The third case occurred on Sunday September 10 at 6:51 p.m. when a male took merchandise from a store in the 20200 block of Bloomfield Avenue and was confronted by loss preven-tion personnel. The suspect fought but was eventually detained. Over $200.00 worth of golf balls were recovered on his person.

One residential burglary was re-corded. There were five the week before. An open/unlocked door or window was the point of entry in the case last week where currency and jewelry were stolen. The 2009 weekly average in residential burglaries is now 2.4.

Hardware to restrict lateral and vertical movement of sliding glass doors and windows are good tools in burglary prevention. Check your sliding glass doors and windows. If they are not so equipped, make sure that you do so. .

limited the ability of the governor and legislature to manage the state finances." He cited:

• Prop. 13 passage in 1978, which lim-its property tax rates, the primary revenue source for schools and local governments to one percent. This has forced the state to make up the difference, primarily to schools. It also mandated a two-thirds vote in the legislature from a simple ma-jority for any tax increase.

• Prop. 98 passage in 1988. This set aside approximately 40 percent of the state budget for schools and community colleges.

• Prop. 42 approved in 2002 which requires the state to set aside hundreds of million of dollars for after school pro-grams.

• Prop 1A passed in 2004 restricts the state’s ability from taking certain revenue from local government.

"In order to get back on our feet we need to create jobs. Job creation is a top priority,” he asserted. "The legis-latures approved a bill reducing prison costs by $1 billion, which was sent to the Governor for his signature. The bill insures the more serious offenders stay in prison while some who are released are monitored and others who prison time is almost up get out early."

Another issue affecting the state budget is the state’s water supply. “We are talking about water rights, conserva-tion, storage, and water transportation. He said farmers in the San Joaquin Valley are letting some of their fields become fallow because they don’t have enough water to plant crops. Others are irrigating their fields just enough to prevent them from becoming desert while some are planting crops that require less water than their normal crops. Orange Groves are being destroyed because of a lack of water. “All this means loss of jobs and income for farm workers and the state economy.”

He said some assembly members feel we need to look at the overall picture, not just the immediate problem This includes the water crisis in the Central Valley water storage, underground cleanup, and a water conveyance around the Sacramento - San Joaquin Delta that would protect the fishery and at the same time provide wa-ter to the pumping plants that bring water to the Valley and Southern California.

Turning to a more local issue, he said a proposed football stadium that would be built with private funds in the City of Industry and would bring a NFL football team to the Los Angeles area and provide an immediate 18,000 construction jobs. Cost of the project is estimated at $800 million. The City of Walnut, located next to the Cit of Industry objected. It cited potential traffic problems, environmental issues etc. It is now in the courts. What’s being ignored are the number of jobs it will afford, now and in the future.

legislation fixes the constitutional issues raised by the Court by directing the rede-velopment funds to schools and students within the boundaries of a redevelopment agency project area.

Sung said the CRA believe the 2009 budget bill is also unconstitutional on the same grounds and believes the new legislative language does not address the constitutional issues and the Superior Court ruling, because the unquestion-able purpose of the budget bill is to help balance the state budget, not to further the purpose of redevelopment. They claim schools won’t receive one dime more than already guaranteed from the State, but simply shifts the obligation from the State to the redevelopment agencies.

Sung said the constitutional require-ment is tax increment be spent to repay indebtedness incurred to finance a rede-velopment project. The bill passed by the legislature doesn’t do this. In addition, the

State and Federal Constitution prohibit the Legislature from enacting laws that impair the obligation of contracts. He said raiding $2.05 billion in redevelop-ment funds will jeopardize bond covenant and other contractual obligations entered into by many redevelopment agencies throughout the state.

Councilman John Heckerman com-mented that people in Sacramento [leg-islature] can’t balance their own check-books let alone the states. “They want the cities to pay for their mistakes. “

Mayor Mike Gomez commented the cities won last year in the courts, let’s hope we can win again. He agreed the city needs to be prepared just in case the new lawsuit fails.

Heckerman also agreed, saying the City needs to be prepared, since Sacra-mento can no longer be trusted.

Turning to the “Back to School BBQ’ held at Ferguson Elementary School, by the Los Angeles County Sheriff Depart-ment, the Council concurred that it was a huge success. Sheriff Deputy Ernest Billie, Hawaiian Gardens Special Assign-

ment Officer, said some 600-700 Hawai-ian Gardens residents attended during the day .Councilman Heckerman said it was great seeing the youngsters talking to the deputies in a friendly manner and not be-ing afraid of them.

The Mayor thanked local busi-nesses for their donations of cash, gift certificates, and school supplies and the Hawaiian Gardens Casino for its donation of school backpacks for the youngsters.

Nothing New In Latest Installment Of Cerritos-Gahr Football RivalryBy Loren Kopff

Almost a year to the date since Gahr’s football team thumped Cerritos in the most lopsided victory by either team in this city, as well as ABC School District, rivalry game, so much talk had been cen-tered on if the Gladiators would eclipse the 63 points scored in last season’s game. Last Thursday night at Hanford Rants Stadium, a record wasn’t broken but Gahr still posted its fourth shutout in the past five meetings against the Dons.

This time, the Gladiators posted a 41-0 victory as senior quarterback Casey Niels-en threw four more touchdown passes to increase his total through the first three games to 12. Since the 2005 game, Gahr has outscored Cerritos 190-7. But again, it was not a crisp, clean game that Gahr head coach Greg Marshall wanted, espe-cially against a less superior foe.

“I thought we did some stupid things early that I was disappointed in,” Marshall said. “We still have to fix those things. Our goal was to try to come out and ex-ecute; play good, clean football and early we weren’t. We didn’t meet our goal.”

Gahr scored on all five of its first half possessions but had the ball for only 7:03. That was more than enough for Nielsen to go into the locker room completing 13 of 18 passes for 221 yards and touchdown strikes of 39 yards to sophomore wide re-ceiver Delshawn McClellon, who eluded a sure tackle, and connections of 24 and

23 yards to junior wide receiver Josh Per-kins. Nielsen also got into the action on the ground with a one-yard run late in the opening quarter, making it 21-0.

The young and depleted Dons, now losers of 16 consecutive games, put together their longest drive of the game after Nielsen touchdown. It was kept alive when the Gladiators were called for a run-ning into the punter infraction on fourth and two. But with 8:49 left in the half, Gahr junior linebacker Stevie Hoodye re-covered a fumble at the Gahr 33-yard line. Cerritos would run off six more the plays the rest of the half and picked up 70 yards of total offense in the first 24 minutes.

“We don’t tackle very well; we’re not a good tackling team,” said Cerritos first-year head coach Chad Reed. “We knew that going in. We’ve been practicing forever at it. We’re going to have to get a lot better at that. Offensively, we got phys-ically handled at the line. I didn’t think we would but we did.”

“We watched them against El Rancho and they were doing some good things,” Marshall said. “We’ve been [in their posi-tion]; 26 kids playing in the San Gabriel Valley League. But I think he’s coming in and he has a concept and he’s doing some-thing he believes in. I thought their kids were fighting hard. I think they tackled better this year.” Unlike last year when Marshall put in his reserves to begin the second half, Nielsen and company were out there in the third quarter and added one more touchdown. Even then, the Dons were doing their best to keep the ball out of his hands. They engineered a nine-play drive that lasted almost six minutes in the stanza. But that came to a conclusion when senior running back Derek Jones was stopped at the 39-yard line. After that,

Cerritos ran five more plays the rest of the way. Junior running back Aaron Francis was a workhorse on both sides of the ball, rushing for 31 hard yards on 13 carries and picking up eight and a half tackles.

“That was our emphasis; we talked all week about possessing the football and keeping it away from their offense,” Reed said. “But we weren’t very consistent at it.”“We’re just using them all over the place as many guys we can,” Reed added. “We dressed 24, 25 guys tonight and if guys are ready to go, we’re just going to have to play guys. We don’t have the luxury of sitting guys who aren’t ready to go.”

Meanwhile, the only time Gahr’s offense was stopped came in the fourth quarter when senior kicker Marco Torres missed a 42-yard field goal on Gahr’s seventh possession and the Gladiators were held on downs with 4:53 left in the game. Nielsen finished with 355 yards on 22 completions. McClellon caught eight for 109 and senior wide receiver Shaan Johnson hauled in another six for 111 yards. Junior running back Kaleb Davis picked up 36 yards on nine carries while on defense, senior outside linebackers Sean O’Brien and Kenji Young had five and half and five tackles respectively.

Despite the recent lopsided scores, the two teams have split the last 12 meet-ings. In fact, Reed was on Kurt Bruich’s coaching staff in the late 1990s when the Dons won by scores of 36-14, 36-0, 45-20 and 34-28, the last coming under Dusan Ancich’s watch.

“It’s an intense cross-town rivalry and we need to rise to the occasion and we just really didn’t,” Reed said.

“When they were beating us, it was still a rivalry,” Marshall said. “Still, it’s

a great game even though they’re a little down. All summer, they still talk about beating Gahr and we had to make sure that wasn’t going to happen. A rivalry is about how [two teams] feel about the game. And they still want to win it more than ever and we want to win it more than ever regardless if we’re a little bit better or not.”

Cerritos will try to get into the win column tonight against Rancho Alamitos while Gahr travels to Artesia in search of winning back the Silver Milk Barrel, the prized trophy that goes to the district win-ner. The last time the teams met on Del Amo Blvd, it was a 62-42 victory. Last season, the Pioneers outlasted the Gladi-ators 50-35.“They’re low in numbers but they’re like us,” Marshall said. “The guys they put out there are guys. We’re defi-nitely going to have our hands full.”

Norwalk Sends the Mariners Adrift, Survives First Battle of SeasonBy Loren Kopff

When the California Interscholastic Federation-Southern Section released its preseason football polls, Norwalk was third in the Southern Division. Two routs with a combined score of 121-9 vaulted the Lancers to the top spot but both wins came against teams that were .500 in the 2008 regular season.

Last Friday night in the home opener at Excelsior Stadium, the Lancers vaunted rushing attack was put to the test for the first time and it was still effective as they had little problems with Pacifica, 32-14. Norwalk remains in the top spot in the division as it hosted Paramount on Sept. 25.

Against the Mariners, Norwalk continued to do what it does best-run the ball and control the clock. The Lancers racked up 282 yards on the ground and had the ball for 31:10. Senior quarterback Dominique Diaz even got into the action, going four for five for 87 yards and a pair of touchdowns. Of his seven completions this season, four have been for touch-downs.

“Our kids are very confident, which is a good thing,” said Norwalk head coach Jesse Ceniceros. “They know they’ve worked hard. When you come off wins like that against South El Monte and Los Amigos, you tend to get a little overcon-fident. But we didn’t see that. We were a little banged up during the week, so I didn’t push them as hard as I probably could have. And it showed because we were cramping up and it looked like we were a little out of shape.”

Norwalk had to settle for a 31-yard field goal from senior Manuel Corona on its first drive and then saw its first deficit of the season when Pacifica’s Clay Leonard caught a 42-yard touchdown pass from Mario Nava with 2:33 left in the first quarter. It was the only pass play on the drive as Cody Johnson had picked up 54 yards on five carries.

But the Lancers bounced back and got into the end zone early in the second quarter when Diaz tossed a 32-yard pass to junior tight end Elijhaa Penny. After a missed Pacifica field goal attempt, senior running back Adrian Gonzales rushed 19 yards for his fifth touchdown of the season and Norwalk took a 16-7 half-time lead. Pacifica was doing everything possible to stay with the Lancers and had amassed 185 yards in the first half, 16 fewer than Norwalk. When the game had concluded, Pacifica had put up 348 yards with Johnson rushing for 156 yards on 16 carries and Nava completing nine of 18 passes for 181 yards.

“We need to work on that,” Ceniceros said of his defense. “But that’s why we set up games like this; to play against good teams and you know what you need to work on.”

One of the turning points of the game came on the first play of the second half

when Johnson’s 29-yard run was ruined when he fumbled and senior linebacker Andrew Tinoso recovered the pigskin. That would lead to a 38-yard score from Diaz to senior tight end Ryan Martinez with 8:04 left in the third quarter. John-son would redeem himself and caught a 25-yard score from Nava almost three minutes later.

But the second turning point came when Corona faked a punt on fourth and five from the 44-yard line and picked up 17 yards around the right side late in the stanza. That led to a Penny four-yard touchdown run with 8:49 remaining in the game. Ceniceros admitted that it was not a planned play and that Corona did that all by himself.

Gonzales led Norwalk with 112 yards on 18 carries while junior Billy Moore added another 80 on 16 rushes. Tinoso led the defense with five tackles and the key fumble recovery while Martinez had four tackles. Norwalk will begin Suburban League action Oct. 2 at Bellflower before taking a week off in preparation for its big city game against John Glenn.

Gahr’s Magallon, Ragas Finish First In District Meet, Girls Team Ends Cerritos Winning StreakBy Loren Kopff

When it comes to the annual ABC School District cross country meet, the numbers are staggering on the girls side. Since the meet’s inception in 1995, Cerritos has won 12 of the first 14 races and a Cerritos runner has finished first 11 times.But last Thursday at the Cerritos Regional Park, Gahr sophomore Lindsey Ragas helped her team pick up 28 points and defeat Cerritos by five points. Ragas fin-ished in a time of 19:30, the second fastest in the history of the meet and became the fourth runner to win the meet in consecu-tive years. Gahr sophomore Kayla Han (19:45) and Gahr junior Sara Dionne (19:49) had enough to outlast Cerritos juniors Gina Tai (19:50) and Jessica Sunio (19:52) for those important points that enabled the Gladiators to win the meet for the first time since 2003.“While I believe that Gahr’s program has had significant improvements over the past few years, I wouldn’t necessarily say that there will be a changing of the guard,” said Cerritos head coach Jason Watanabe. “I feel that next year, while Gahr will be favored to win, our ability to move girls up from the lower levels will help our ability to continue to improve and continue to challenge for the champi-onship.”While Cerritos had its top five runners finish in the top nine, Gahr’s first three runners propelled the team to the victory. Sophomore Borah Lim was Whitney’s top runner, coming in sixth place with a time of 19:59 and Artesia’s leading runner was senior Adriana Raya, who came in 14th place with a time of 22:48. To have a Cer-ritos runner not finish somewhere in the top three is a rare occasion, considering only three Gahr harriers had finished in first place in the past.“With less than a mile to go, our girls had a chance to make their moves and break into the top three, which was our strategy from the start,” Watanabe said. “Aside from the fact that the top three Gahr girls have improved in the past year, our girls had trouble turning it on and when they did, they ran out of real estate.”On the boys side, Cerritos and Gahr have alternated since 2005 in winning the meet. Gahr won it last year, so it was Cerritos which edged the Gladiators 35-38 last Thursday. But, for the first time since 2006, a Gahr runner finished in first place as senior Chris Magallan crossed the finish line in 16:38. Thien Nam To of Cerritos, who graduated last year, had won the meet in consecutive years, the first time that has happened on the boys side. Whitney junior Angel Anguiano came in second place with a time of 17:11, followed by Cerritos senior Ryan Joo

(17.22). Gahr junior Carlo Aquino was the fourth place runner at 17:36 but what won it for Cerritos was the fact that it had the next three runners-seniors Karan Kohli and Fabian Moreno and freshman Ganesh Tilve all finish within eight seconds of each other following Anguiano.Artesia had only runner, senior Alex Perez, who had a time of 18:25 and there were only 20 runners on the boys side, making this one of the smallest fields, if not the smallest field in the history of the meet. The low numbers came as a surprise to Watanabe, who said he had figured Artesia had increased their numbers be-cause they were more visible in preseason meets. Still, this was one of the closest meets in the 15 years of the meet. On the junior varsity level, the Cerritos boys won for the seventh straight year and the Cerritos girls did the same for the sixth straight year, the last five by the minimum 15 points. “This year’s ABC District Champion-ship was the best we have seen in both varsity races,” Watanabe said. “I’m not sure what next year will bring. But don’t be surprised to see a battle this tight next year with three or four teams. With a large graduating class on both ends, and Whitney returning two of their top three, it could get even better.”

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that Ordinance No. 532 of the City of Hawaiian Gardens was introduced for fi rst reading at the Regular City Council Meeting held on September 22, 2009, and is summarized as follows:

ORDINANCE NO. 532 AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HAWAIIAN GARDENS, COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES, STATE OF CALIFORNIA, GRANTING A FRANCHISE OF THE BREA CRUDE PIPELINE TO CARDINAL PIPELINE L.P.

SUMMARY OF ORDINANCE

In 1967 the City of Hawaiian Gardens granted to Shell Oil Company a forty (40) year franchise to construct, oper-ate and maintain a pipeline for the transportation of hydrocarbon substances, commonly known as the Brea Crude Pipeline. With the City’s approval on October 25, 2005, Shell Oil Company transferred the franchise to Cardinal Pipeline L.P. On February 9, 2007 the forty (40) year franchise expired. On August 25, 2009 Resolution No. 076-2009 was passed wherein the City Council declared its intention to grant a franchise of the Brea Crude Pipeline to Cardinal Pipeline L.P. Pursuant to California Public Utilities Code; notice of the public hearing was been properly published.

Cardinal Pipeline L.P. has been continuously operating the Brea Crude Pipeline for the past three and half (3 ½) years. The original franchise granted to Shell Oil Company and transferred to Cardinal Pipeline expired February 9, 2007. The renewed franchise is a twenty-fi ve (25) year lease which may be extended in fi ve (5) year increments. The Ordinance outlines the new terms including the increase in the franchise rate.

The Brea Crude Pipeline is 8” in diameter and runs 5594’ in length making the total annual fee under the prior agreement $447.52. Under the new agreement Cardinal Pipeline will pay an initial Base Granting Fee of $2,500.00 (one time fee) and a Base Annual Fee of $.176 multiplied by the internal diameter of the pipe (8”) multiplied by the total length of the pipe (5594’) for a Base Annual Fee of $7,876.35/year. The total increase in revenue from this franchise will be a $2,500 (one-time) Base Granting Fee and $7,876to a person or to property This ordinance was presented for fi rst reading and introduction on September 22, 2009. This ordinance will be presented for second reading and adoption at the Regular City Council meeting to be held on the 13th day October 2009 at 6:00 p.m. or soon thereafter at the City of Hawaiian Gardens, City Council Chambers, 21815 Pioneer Blvd., Hawaiian Gardens, CA 90716.

ArtesiaContinued from page 1

There were no com-mercial burglaries reported last week. The 2009 weekly average in com-mercial burglaries is 1.6.

Vehicle burglaries increased from seven to ten last week. Six targeted SUVs, and one stereo was removed. Other items reported taken included purses, wallets, credit

cards, cash, and ID. The 2009 weekly average in vehicle burglaries is at 7.7.

Think twice about the property you leave in your vehicle, and especially an SUV. If it is valuable and important to you, consider leaving it at home or taking it with you when you exit the vehicle. Valuable items left within the passenger compartment make it just too easy for the thief.

Three were stolen from high-volume com-mercial parking lots. Two were Hondas, three were SUVs, and one was a mo-torcycle. The 2009 weekly average in vehicle thefts is now 4.6.

As with car burglary, you can be your own best police officer by using a steering wheel locking device when parking in commercial parking lots (especially if your car is ten years or older, and really especially if it is an older model Toyota or Honda).
