O P I N I O N a n d L E T T E R SGovernor Brown bails out on budget talks... where are them "recall papers?"

By Randy Economy

This week California Governor Jer-ry Brown threw up his arms, ran around the state capital ranting and raving and tossed in the towel on budget talks.

Governor Brown has halted budget

negotiations. Yep. The "wise" one is done. "Yesterday, I stopped the discus-sions that I had been conducting with various members of the Republican par-ty regarding our state's massive deficit," Brown opined in a written statement to media members this .

"The budget plan that I put forth is balanced between deep cuts and exten-sions of currently existing taxes and I believe it is in the best interest of Cali-fornia. Under our constitution, however, two Republicans from the Assembly and two from the Senate must agree before this matter can be put to the people,"

Brown said."Each and every Republican legisla-

tor I've spoken to believes that voters should not have this right to vote unless I agree to an ever changing list of collat-eral demands." The Governor has been pushing for a "special" election that would have allowed US voters to decide on different options on how to get us out of our yearly $30 to $45 Billion Dollar deficit that has become "standard practice" here in the Golden State. What another special election that special interests flood hundreds of millions of dollars into to have us push our fiscal

problems further off the Pacific coast?Brown went on to lament that "Much

is at stake, and in the coming weeks I will focus my efforts on speaking directly to Californians and coming up with honest and real solutions to our budget crisis

Stop trying to push EVERY SIN-GLE problem that career politician like you have created back in the face of the average Californian Here is a plan.

If Brown can't get a budget deal past by June, we need to ban together to ensure that the next "special" election is one to recall him from office.

Andre Watts in command at CerritosBy Glen Creason

I am not worthy to review the scin-tillating concert performed by the great pianist Andre Watts last week at the Cen-ter. It really was a “you had to be there”

kind of an evening because the perfor-mance had a truly transcendent quality that defies the human word. Also Watts is simply a genius whose abilities exceed the grasp of mere mortals like me. There were layers of meaning and such abun-dance of musical texture to the concert that it would take a professor of compo-sition to come close to doing the whole performance justice. Well, maybe a few

CC PA R E V I E W a n d P R E V I E Whumble words on such magnificent work will catch some of the light shone from Watt's beacon on that night.

It was completely appropriate that this was an all-Lizst program since that com-poser has risen and fallen and risen again on the fingers of great artists. Once upon a mid-19th century time Franz Lizst was considered a genius and almost a saint, evidenced by the actual termLizstomania that peaked around 1842 but remained strong for over a century. Then the cir-cling buzzards of criticism had to pick at the legacy of this towering figure but his compositions speak for themselves when played by the right hands. In the hands of Andre Watts the Lizst legacy is shin-ing bright but it is only an artist with his intelligence coupled with vastly superior technical skill and a passionate belief in the music that can properly showcase such demanding material.

Andre Watts did not waste any time in the full ninety-plus minutes with lesser material but went right for the biggest challenges and greatest rewards. He warmed with “Concert Etude No. 3, Un Sospiro” which was a country mile from the “sigh” in the title, roaring up and down the big Steinway piano, dy-namically filling the hall while crossing his hands on the keyboard and sending arpeggios winging to the back wall of the Center. Hungarian Rhapsody No. 3 in B-flat major” was rhythmic and complex with flavors of the folk music inspirations drawn from gypsy czardas that so influenced Lizst. The “Sonata in b minor” was, as close to the Romantic tradition we know with tones that ranged from glowering menace to delicate beauty. These pieces took tremendous

physical power, endurance and amazing control, ranging from hugely dramatic to very delicate expressions.

After a short intermission Watts gave a us more of the great variety inLizst’ piano compositions, ranging from the modernistic tonal ambiguity of “Baga-telle Ohne Tonart” to the mournful “La LugubreGondola” to the troubled angst of “Schlafos, Frage and Antwort.” “Tran-scendental Etude No. 10 in f minor” may be the hardest to describe because it was just a musical decathlon of technical de-mands and range of emotion. The final pieces on the program were from “the Six Grand Etudes After Paganini” which are transcriptions of violin compositions that were wonderfully lyrical and then just filled with pyrotechnics that took the listener to the melodic edge. These are some of the most demanding pieces in all of piano literature but Watts just com-manded the keyboard in every shade of expression and thrilled the audience to an honest to goodness ecstasy. He was sum-moned out for a romantic encore, more Liszt and more raving, standing ovations for a job done better than it can ever be described

Cancer survivors honored at Artesia/CerritosRelay for Life eventBy Larry Caballero

Relay For Life of Cerritos is sched-uled for Jun. 25-26 at Gahr High School from 9:00 am Saturday to 9:00 am Sunday.

The Relay For Life is a community gathering where everyone can partici-pate in the fight against cancer. Teams camp out at Gahr High School and take

turns walking or running around the rubberized track.

Each team is asked to have a repre-sentative on the track at all times during the event - because - CANCER NEVER SLEEPS!

Relay For Life brings together mil-lions of people all over the world each year to raise money for much needed research. While raising funds, you will also raise awareness of cancer preven-tion, early detection, treatment opportu-nities and patient support.

Relay brings people together from all walks of life... all with the common goal of eliminating cancer. No matter who you are, there is a place for you at Relay.

Honored at Relay for Life Event Mar. 26 at Artesia Community Center were (l-r) cancer survivors and Relay for Life Chairs Rodaina Hassanein, Cece Pru-matico, Melissa Gobas, Amanda Stinson, Gabriel Santos, Theresa Prumatico and Mirhan Hassanein.

Hawaiian Gardens neighborhood watch send off for Sgt. BurtBy Mike GomezMayor of Hawaiian Gardens

Let me first thank you for all the past support; it makes our work so much easier when we get the kind of support and community participation we have always received in the past.

Today I contact you with a little bit of sad news, Sgt Tom Burt is be-ing assigned a new position within the Lakewood Sheriff Station and will no longer be in charge of the Deputies who patrol our city.

Sgt. Burt has worked tirelessly to make sure Hawaiian Gardens gets the kind of protection we deserve. He will be surely missed by all who have had the pleasure of working along side him.

Please join us at the Wednesday April 6th Neighborhood Watch meeting as we thank him for his past service to our community and wish him well as he moves on to his next assignment with the Lakewood Sheriff Station.

We will have a potluck send off for him in the Public Safety Center park-ing lot from 5-7pm Wednesday April 6. Please contact me if you or your organization would like to make some kind of presentation to him and we will make sure everyone has an opportunity to honor him.

Thank you again for your partici-pation, looking forward to seeing you there.

Emergency Room, Urgent Care or my Doctor, which is the best choice?By Patrick Houston

Choosing the kind of medical care you need depends on your situation. If you are injured or ill, going to the hos-pital emergency room may seem like an appropriate choice. But if you are not facing a real emergency, you may have other choices.

Hospitals typically provide a full range of services for common medi-cal conditions as well as some level of emergency care. Urgent care centers of-fer medical care for conditions that need attention, but are not life-threatening. And in a doctor’s office, patients usually receive personalized service due to an established working relationship.

More than 300,000 Americans are treated in emergency departments daily. Emergency departments care for pa-tients based on severity of illness or in-jury, not the order in which patients ar-rive. According to the American College of Emergency Physicians, warning signs of a medical emergency include:• Problems breathing• Chest or upper abdominal pain• Fainting or sudden dizziness• Changes in vision• Uncontrollable bleeding• Coughing or vomiting blood• Confusion or changes in mental status

You do not need an appointment to go to the emergency room, but you may have to wait if other patients have more pressing medical needs. Some hospi-tals post their emergency room waiting times online, so you can check before going to the hospital. You also may want to contact your insurance carrier about coverage for a visit to the emergency room since you could have a higher co-pay than you would for a doctor visit.

What are the differences in services proviced?

If you need medical care for a con-dition that is not a serious, immediate threat to life or health, you may want to go an urgent care center when you cannot see your primary doctor right away. You do not need to have an appointment at an urgent care center. These clinics typical-ly provide treatment for minor illnesses, cuts, burns, puncture wounds, fractures, bites, stings, sprains and strains. They often charge approximately the same as a doctor’s office, or slightly more, with less waiting. These clinics also may of-

“The numbers just keep getting big-ger and our caseloads larger,” said Los Angeles County Supervisor Don Knabe Mar. 31 at the Norwalk Chamber of Com-merce & the City of Norwalk’s “State of the County” Breakfast at the Norwalk Sports Complex.

“Our caseloads have risen by 22% and there has been an increase of food stamps by 24%, and yet we will keep on trying our best to be the ultimate safety net for those in need.”

Knabe admitted that there has been some improvement since the unemploy-ment rate has gone down to 9.7% in the County, property taxes have leveled off and there has been a small increase in sales tax.

“We had always planned for a rainy day sometime in the future, but we never anticipated a flood to hit us, and yet we are still in better shape than most coun-ties in the state.”

Knabe said the County doesn’t know what it will be able to do until the state

acts in solving the $28 billion shortfall. “Yet cutting Redevelopment Agencies is not the answer when they provide rev-enues and jobs to our cities. It’s short term thinking,” said Knabe.

“Most counties, cities, community colleges and school districts balance their budgets on time, and yet the state is unable to come up with a solution. We have tried to be a partner in all of this, but it’s difficult. Yet, we suffered a 17% reduction without any employee layoffs and furloughs so far.”

Knabe stated that cooperation with every bargaining unit in the County made it possible when they all agreed to no cost of living raises.

“There are programs that work out there,” said Knabe, “but they get caught up in political rhetoric. All we need to do is to provide a hand up and not just a handout when people are in need of ser-vices.”

Knabe thanked small business own-ers for providing jobs. “Small business-es are the heart and soul and blood and guts of the County,” he said.

Norwalk City Council honors Cerritos College for its canned food drive helping families in need

The Norwalk City Council recog-nized Cerritos College for its distin-guished service to the community at its regular meeting on March 1.

The annual Turkey Trot and the Associated Students of Cerritos Col-lege's (ASCC) Canned Food Drive have been the college's Thanksgiving time tradition for 13 years, which help families in need.

For Turkey Trot, students, faculty, staff and community members donate canned food items to enter the two-mile walk/run each year. Many who participate choose to exceed the one-can requirement, while others choose not to participate in the race but donate to the event. ASCC has been orga-nizing the annual canned food drive in which student clubs compete the number of items they collect.

Last year, donations collected through Turkey Trot were 1,411 canned food items and $115.25, and student clubs collected over 25,000 items - all of which went to the City of Norwalk's Food Bank to help needy families in the Norwalk area.

Members of the City Council thanked student clubs Accounting Club, Court Reporting Club, Kine-siology Club; and the Turkey Trot organizers Dr. Ni Bueno and Debbie

Thomas for their continued community service.

"Thank you for the great job," said Mayor Gordon Stefenhagen, who was instrumental to the develop-ment of Norwalk's Food Bank. "The donation from Cerritos College fills up the Bank's warehouse and it helps those who are in need for a couple of months."

Cerritos College serves as a com-prehensive community college for southeastern Los Angeles County. Communities within the college's district include Artesia, Bellflower, Cerritos, Downey, Hawaiian Gardens, La Mirada, Norwalk, and portions of Bell Gardens, Lakewood, Long Beach, Santa Fe Springs and South Gate.

RIGHT: In February, 645 students and staff at Cerritos Elementary set about to compete in the nationwide “Aeropostle 4th Annual Jeans for Teens” campaign. The winning school would receive a $5000 check with the used jeans donated to homeless teens. “It was not the $5000, we wanted the children to look beyond themselves,” stated Estelle Sato, Presi-dent of the Cerritos Elementary Educa-tional Foundation.

The students collected over 2,250

jeans of all sizes that were donated to the Orange County Rescue Mission in Tustin. The pants that were not made of denim fabric were donated to Su Casa in Long Beach. a home for battered and homeless women. Although they were not the national winners, Cerritos was the largest contributors in Southern Califor-nia

“Our students were excited about this campaign and are looking forward to next years’ challenge,” said Sato.

2011 BASEBALL PREVIEW

John Glenn, Valley Christian hope for turnaround seasonsBy Loren Kopff

With the exception of Gahr, which is always a sure lock to advance to the Cali-fornia Interscholastic Federation-South-ern Section playoffs, this particular area has seen a near playoff drought with most of the teams. Since the turn of the centu-ry, Artesia, Cerritos, John Glenn and Nor-walk have combined to reach the playoffs 11 times. This season, expect more area teams to get back to the promise land.

GAHR GLADIATORS(20-11 overall last season, 8-4 in the San Gabriel Valley League, second place, lost to Ocean View 7-3 in Division III semifinals)Head coach: Geraldo Perez (seventh season, 115-60-1)Team’s record previous five seasons: 92-54-1Last time missed the playoffs: 1998Key losses: Brenton Allen, Sonny Burgueno, Josh Cabula, Alex Hernandez, Brandon Labreau, Dan-iel Lack, Michael Lugo, Marcus TomlinProjected starting lineup:P-Jacob Faria (SR)/Darian Dominguez (SR)/Charles Cantrell (SR)C-Hector Partida (JR)/Angel Ramos (SR)1B-Faria/Partida2B-Anthony Rodriguez (JR)3B-Edgar Morales (SO)SS-Jaime Estrada (FR)OF-Josh Palmer (SR)OF-Alex Newman (SR)

ators were stockpiled with six everyday seniors plus a couple of pitchers but fell just short of everyone’s dream. Now, the Gladiators will be a tad bit younger but still have enough varsity experience to make another run.

“Sometimes when you have a lot of seniors, you have a collective feeling that this is their year,” Perez said. “I think last year they all gelled at the right time. This year’s team has its own identity.”

Faria, who has verbally committed to Cal State Fullerton, and Dominguez spearhead the pitching attack and if they’re on target, Gahr will win a lot of games. Faria had an earned run average of 1.52 last season and struck out 42 bat-ters in 64 and a third innings. Dominguez had an ERA of 2.26 with 52 strikeouts in 68 innings.

Newman, Palmer and Ramos both batted above.315 in 2010 and Morales was barely under .300. Those four hope to mesh with the new talent to bring Gahr its third straight 20-win season and sixth in the past eight seasons.

“Last year, I think we started with the expectations because of the number of seniors,” Perez said. “This year, it’s a unique, hard-working group. They paid the price. There’s a lot of great work eth-ics tied into these kids. They’re hungry.”

Gahr is also seeking its first San Ga-briel Valley League crown since 2006. Over the past four seasons, there has been a pair of second place and third place finishes.

“It’s always tough but sometimes it’s not how you start but how you finish,” Perez said. “We’ve been finishing pretty good the last five years. It’s definitely something we look forward to.”

JOHN GLENN EAGLES (8-16 overall last season, 1-11 in the Suburban League, seventh place)Head coach: David Cruz (sixth season, 53-69)Team’s record previous five seasons: 53-69Last time made the playoffs: 2009Key losses: Joseph Alvarez, Davon Foggie, Joseph Guerra, Roy Salgado, Juan Vera, Rudy VillegasProjected starting lineup:P-Ceaser Arzate (SO)/Jesse Gutierrez (JR)/John Lemos (JR)/Andy Aguirre (SR)/Eleno DeAvila (SR)C-Octavio Trejo (SR)1B-Ruben Gomez (SR)2B-Cesar Hernandez (SR)/Gutierrez3B-Elias Gomez (SR)SS-Lemos/GutierrezOF-Ronaldo Acuna (JR)OF-Juan Rojas (SR)

Following two straight seasons of advancing to the playoffs, the Eagles couldn’t get their wings in flying mode and suffered their worst league season since 2006. The team relied too much on Juan Vera for both his pitching and of-

fense and it backfired. Vera batted .488 but only two other players hit at least .300.

“I really thought at the beginning of the year Juan Vera was going to be able to squeeze a few more wins for us,” Cruz said. “He did have a very successful year, both pitching and hitting, but the rest of the team didn’t come through when we needed hits.”

This season, Cruz says there are no superstars on the team. They’re looking to each other which he feels will build a better team. The Eagles do have a lot of speed in the outfield as well as the in-field.

Arzate and Gutierrez, the top two pitchers, are varsity rookies. Acuna, Lemos, Rojas and Trejo bring the most varsity experience and Cruz stated that Trejo’s leadership behind the plate will be very important. Lemos batted .320 last season

“I have the same confidence with this team as I did with Timmy [Soonthorn-garun] and Tony [Gomez] of a few years ago,” Cruz said. “I feel like we can win every game. I do think Bellflower is go-ing to win league. But we play them in the last week of the season and if we’re in the hunt, then anything can happen.”

NORWALK LANCERS (10-15 overall last season, 6-6 in the Suburban League, fourth place, lost to Peninsula 5-2 in Divi-sion II wild card)Head coach: Ruben Velazquez (third season, 21-27)Team’s record previous five seasons: 48-74Last time missed the playoffs: 2009Key losses: Moises Acosta, Juan Camacho, Chris Hernandez, Ryan Martinez, Chris Osario, Jona-than VillalpandoProjected starting lineup:P-Steve Mendoza (SR)/Jose Sandoval (JR)/Johnny Lopez (SR)/German Vasquez (SR)/Miguel Casteneda (SO)/Anthony Gonzalez (SO)C-Vasquez1B-Mendoza/Sandoval2B-Casteneda/Anthony Bunacore (SR)/Chad Nicholas (SR)3B-Edgar Reyes (SR)/CastenedaSS-Skyler Bautista (SR)/Jesse Rodriguez (SO)OF-Gonzalez/David Degadillo (SR)OF-Jayson Salgado (SR)

OF-Rodriguez

The Lancers had to stave off a late season run by Artesia to capture the fourth and final automatic playoff berth from the Suburban League. Now, they hope they can have just has much suc-cess this season without Villalpando’s pitching. The Norwalk graduate led the squad with a 3.21 earned run average and had five complete games.

However, Velazquez was quick to add that in some of games in which he started and the team lost, the result could have gone the other way. In four of his 11 starts, Norwalk lost by three or fewer

runs. Now, the Lancers hope to make consecutive trips to the playoffs with three veteran pitchers.

“It was what we strived for,” Ve-lazquez said of getting to the playoffs. “Obviously you want to win league but if we can’t win league, then definitely we want to go to the playoffs every year, not just once every four years or whatever.”

Pitching should not be a problem and neither should the offense with the lead-ership of Bautista, Lopez, Mendoza, Sal-gado, Sandoval and Vasquez. The out-field could be a little shaky as Salgado has the most experience. Vasquez moves from left field to catcher. Mendoza is the only player who batted over .300 last season

“They are very capable of going be-yond fourth place,” Velazquez said. “We have the pitching; we just need to show that we can play consistent defense and we need to consistently hit. We are very capable of being a better hitting team than last year. We just have to prove it.”

The Crusaders had a trying season in 2010 with a dozen players until the very end and a new head coach. Now, V.C. is hoping the experience from the young team will pay off. The Crusaders had won their first six games of the season with stellar pitching from Algra, Fronke and Hernandez.

“The main issue we needed to do last year was to change the mindset of the school, change the mindset of the play-ers, parents and baseball community,” Buller said. “I think that was accom-plished last year.

“One of the big improvements has been the players policing themselves,” Buller added. “They have really taken it seriously. There were people who were real skeptical of our summer program,

playing in the Long Beach American Le-gion where we lost 14 of the 15 games. But yet the kids learned way more than they did all season.”

Eight of the 12 players return and only one player, Raffaelli, hit above .300 last season and is the lone return-ing outfielder. Algra has been tabbed as the number one pitcher as well as the number one catcher. The infield is very solid with Fasnacht (19 runs batted in, four home runs), Hernandez (.288) and Stillwagon (.276).

“I started this year in September tell-ing the guys I only have one specific goal for this year and it’s get to the first round of the playoffs,” Buller said. “I re-ally don’t care how we finish in league. I don’t care how we finish our preseason or our rival games that we have this year. We’re going to play to win. But the whole thing is to get to the playoffs.”

SUBURBAN LEAGUE SOFTBALL

Early blast from Smith carries Cerritos in doubleheader splitBy Loren Kopff

LAKEWOOD-Sarah Smith thought her third inning home run last Wednes-day would jump start the Cerritos soft-ball team against Mayfair in its Suburban League opener. Then Mother Nature took over and the two teams had to wait until this past Tuesday to play over 10 and a half innings of ball.

Smith’s home run had tied the game 1-1 in the bottom of the third and the Lady Dons were feeling good about themselves against the defending league champions. But when play resumed af-ter a six-day wait, the Monsoons scored five runs over the past three frames to take game one 6-1. Still, the junior cen-ter fielder wasn’t going to be deterred by that result because she led off the second game with a solo line drive shot over the right center fence on the fifth pitch of the game and it led to a 6-2 victory.

“Sarah Smith is phenomenal,” said Cerritos head coach Bob Medina. “I don’t believe she has taken the leader part but I think all of the kids on the team do look up to her as a leader. When she does something like that, they respond to that.”

While it was Smith’s lone hit of the second game and second in the abbrevi-ated home and home series, the rest of the team did step up, along with some help from Mayfair’s second baseman. With two outs in the top of the second, senior designated player Nikki Rosen-berger singled and Smith was walked.

Then a routine grounder hit by soph-omore pitcher Kaylilani Minami was misplayed and the bases were loaded for freshman center fielder Lilianna Herrera. Again, another muffed play resulted in another run and Herrera being safe. Up came sophomore shortstop Erin Clin-ton and the third straight error kept the inning alive. Sophomore first baseman Miki Okazaki singled in a pair of runs and just like that, the Lady Dons had put five runs across the board to lead 6-0.

That was more than enough for Mi-nami who bounced back from a poor out-ing less than an hour ago. While Cerritos (8-2 overall, 2-1 in the league) would not get another hit the rest of the game and only six base runners, Minami was scat-tering six hits and walking one.

“They’re a good hitting team,” Me-dina said. “Every good pitch that was go-ing in, they were hitting them hard. We made some good timely plays which we didn’t have last time. It worked out fortu-nately for us.”

Okazaki collected a pair of hits in the second game but it was the team’s per-formance in the first game that grew the ire of Medina. The Lady Dons, ranked fourth in the California Interscholastic Federation-Southern Section Division II poll, were held hitless once play resumed with two outs in the top of the fourth in-ning and Mayfair being the designated road team. Smith would be the only base runner over the final four innings while the Monsoons were getting to Minami to the tune of eight hits including a solo home run and run scoring single from Nyah Rodman and a two-run base hit from Mariesa Davies.

“I’m very disappointed in our team because we were so ready for this,” Me-dina said of the split. “We practiced the first inning and the way we were going to

go after the second inning kind of got a little out of hand. I wish the momentum [we had] before the rain delay was there [today] and it wasn’t. I think we were ly-ing back instead of being aggressive like we planned to do.”

With Minami throwing 67 pitches in just over three innings, many thought Medina might go to another pitcher in the second game. As it turned out, both teams stayed with their game one hurl-ers and the Lady Dons benefited from the non-change in the end,

“I had a plan, and if you know me, I always have a plan and we always try to stick to it,” Medina said. “They’re good hitters and to keep a good hitter off, you have to throw them different pitches. Our plan was to come out and establish the outside for the three innings we had left [in the first game] and then start busting them inside for the next game. We did pop some of their girls out and some of them hit some good foul balls that could have gone over the fence.”

The win was the first over the Mon-soons since May 5, 2006 and only the fifth on Mayfair’s field in the past 13 seasons. The six runs scored are also the most in over 13 seasons. In 2001, Cerri-tos blanked Mayfair 5-0 on the road.

“Something that we were trying to gain was respect and I believe we did that from playing the way we did,” Medina said.

Cerritos would host John Glenn this past Wednesday in the team’s first game at Cerritos and breezed to a 7-0 win. Eight players combined for nine hits and Okazaki tossed a four-hitter, walking one and striking out four. The two teams meet today at Glenn, before Cerritos pays a visit to Bellflower on Wednesday.

SIV from page 1cially to those that have not given the same opportunity he has. While attending Cerri-tos College, he volunteered at local medi-cal centers and health fairs to provide free health screenings and services to those who otherwise could not afford. Now, his service area" has expanded quite a bit. Since 2009, he has traveled to his home country Cambodia multiple times to help those who live in a landfill. In Cambodia, over a thousand people, many of which are poor or orphaned children, spend all day searching through the piles of trash for re-cyclables to earn enough money just to feed themselves. "Giving whatever time and abilities I can offer to make these wrongs right is my responsibility as witnessed to these situations," said Siv. Siv changed his major from biomedical engineering to bi-ology and added a minor in public health. This is his last semester as undergrad and he is planning on doing a summer intern-ship, hopefully at United Nations. As to the next step graduate school, he is leaving his options open – as he believes working for one year and getting experience may prepare him better for graduate study.

fer convenient on-site laboratory and X-rays, as well as extended hours in the evening and on weekends.

The primary difference between an urgent care center and your primary doctor’s office is that you can walk in to an urgent care center without an appointment. While the wait at a cen-ter may be shorter, there is a trade-off. Compared with your regular doctor’s office, center staff may not be familiar with your medical history and your re-cords will not be on file if you are not a regular patient there. In addition, some centers do not accept insurance from certain carriers.

Ultimately, the hospital emergency room is the best place to be if you need emergency medical care. In other situ-ations, depending on when they occur and your ability to make an appointment to see your doctor, an urgent care center may be a more convenient, time-effec-tive choice. For more information about when to go to the emergency room, talk with your doctor or call the emergen-cy department at Lakewood Regional Medical Center at 562-602-6800. For non- life threatening emergencies you can use the emergency room reserva-tion system. Go online to www.ERfast-pass choose the time you would like to go to the emergency room and wait at home instead of the hospital.

CERRITOS SHERIFF’S STATION

Weekly crime summary March 21-27, 2011

Part I felony crime investigations rose by two from the previous week as twenty were reported for this week. Robberies and commercial burglaries decreased, residential burglaries re-mained the same, while vehicle burglar-ies and vehicle thefts increased. Field deputies handled 254 calls for service last week, down from the previous 271. The 2011 weekly average in calls for service is 256.

GREAT NEWS! There were no rob-beries reported last week.

Residential burglaries remained the same at five cases last week. Three of those were made possible by open/unlocked doors or windows. One

window was shattered and the other was pried open. DVDs, laptop computers, jewelry, a TV, and cash were taken. The new 2011 weekly average in residential burglaries is 3.4.

There have been past reports where safes that were easily portable and had not been properly secured were taken from residences. If you choose to use this method of safekeeping property, make sure that the receptacle is firmly bolted into a foundation such as con-crete, or connected to a structure support where prying it off is impossible. We recommend that you consult with a pro-fessional contractor before installation, but suggest that you use a safe deposit box at your banking institution to better protect these vital documents.

There was one commercial burglary reported. Three occurred the week be-fore. The incident last week involved a

school where an unlocked window was used to enter at approximately 12:30 a.m. Laptop computers were stolen. The 2011 weekly average in “other structure”/commercial burglaries is now 2.8.

Vehicle burglaries increased by one case to three last week. All three were in from high-volume commercial park-ing lots, and all were SUVs. One stereo, laptop computers, and gift certificates were missing. The new 2011 weekly average in vehicle burglaries is 5.2.

Remember, law enforcement officers cannot protect you from vehicle bur-glars. Only you can prevent your own vehicle burglary. If your property is valuable and important to you, consider leaving it at home or taking it with you when you exit the vehicle instead of leaving it visible and attractive to the would-be thief. Be especially aware of

your vulnerability if you drive a pick-up, SUV, or van. Thieves know that you do not have secure trunk space

Vehicle thefts increased by one after two were reported last week. Both of the thefts last week were from high-vol-ume commercial parking lots. One was an SUV and the other a Nissan. The 2011 weekly average in vehicle thefts is now 2.2.

The best method to immediately display that your vehicle is protected from theft is the use of a visible deter-rent such as a steering wheel lock. This inexpensive “insurance policy” can cost between $30-$50, and tells the com-monly pressed for time thief that another target would be more appealing.

cated, extend 226th Street from Norwalk Boulevard to Pioneer Boulevard and the downtown remodeling of store fronts along Norwalk Boulevard north of Car-son could not have been done

Sung stated Hawaiian Gardens is un-able to issue bonds, only the agency can do that. The money from the bonds, he explained, is what finances the city proj-ects. He also noted without the agency the city would not have been able to con-tribute its share of the $9 million needed to build the Sports Complex currently under construction at Fedde Middle School.

Oyama-Canada said the reason she wanted to open a discussion on the gov-ernor’s proposal is because she fears the public does not understand what is at stake here. They read about the gover-nor’s proposal but don’t have a full un-derstanding of its effect on the city. The agency is expected to begin transferring agency assets /property to the city in the near future.

Neighboring cities such as Norwalk and Cerritos took action last week to keep the state from taking over the properties owned by their respective agencies. In Norwalk, the City Council / Redevelop-ment Agency held a special meeting on Mar. 22 transferring Agency property to the city. On Mar. 24, the Cerritos City Council/Redevelopment Agency ap-proved a resolution transferring Agency leasehold property and real property to the city. The action by the two cities pre-vents the state from taking their property and assets if the legislature approves the governor’s proposal.

A partial list of agency property in Cerritos includes Liberty Park, Fire Sta-tion #30 on Pioneer Boulevard, Cerritos Center for the Performing Arts in the Towne Center, and the Mullikin Medi-cal Building on 183rd Street across from Cerritos High School.Possible compromise

Cerritos City Manager Art Gallucci told the council a compromise proposal was under discussion by the legislature and if approved would be submitted to the Governor. He said the bill proposes that 10 percent of increment, after the mandated 20 percent set-aside funds for low-to moderate hosing, would be passed on to the governor with that money going into the general fund to be used as they see fit and help reduce the deficit. First year potential is more than half billion dollars based on the fact it is estimated

$5 billion in increment income through-out the state of California will be made. [Increment is the amount of rent colleted by the Agency from property they own.]

The second part of the bill entails agencies giving to local school districts within the city boundaries one year of set-aside funding. That money would be unrestricted and used by the district. In return the agencies would receive a two-year extension on its life. If the agency gave 10 percent it would receive an addi-tional 10-year extension for a total of 12 years. The governor and state would re-ceive a cash flow that it has been looking for. He said the funds the school districts received could only be used within the boundaries of the city’s jurisdiction.

Councilmember Bruce Barrows asked about the Redevelopment Agencies that refused to participate in the compromise. The city manager said that was an item that needed further study although the Agencies he has talked to favor the com-promise.

LCCN inquired as to whether the transfers may be invalidated, that is, sub-ject to the same laws as those applied in corporate bankruptcy; bankruptcy court judges can “reach back” as far back as ninety days and invalidate contracts, ask for payments to be reimbursed, etc. The city said they would proceed to look into it.

program alone brought in thousands of dollars to help support the city's two li-braries. It was a please to serve on the committee with him at the helm.

He has chaired the Mayor's Prayer Breakfast for loner than that. We are all proud of the great speakers and talent brought to Norwalk to give their testi-monials, sing, or speak. There has been some fantastic talent but it didn't just happen; it took work. The committee be-gins in September and meets each week until the Breakfast in February looking for talent that meets our high standards.

He has served as Ways & Means on the Norwalk Community Coordinating Council for most of his time on the city council. On any holiday you will see him out on the City Hall Lawn working the hot dog booth along with the other NCCC board members. He never asks them to do less than he's willing to do himself.

As a councilman he has sat on the I-5 project and on the League of Cities com-mittees among other committees and councils.

Gordon is a transplanted Chicagoan. Their loss was Norwalk's gain. He cred-its former Mayor Bob White and School Board Member Lucille Colln for his entry into city politics. We are thankful they saw the potential and talked him into running for office. He has been one of this city' greatest assets.

But all is not bad. He may have re-tired from city office but will continue with his management company so we will still see him around and be able to ask his advice. So Gordon, be sure to keep that cell phone handy; you are go-ing to need it.

proper permits. The amnesty program would waive any penalties and demoli-tion fees imposed by the Building De-partment for work completed without a permit.

He said the primary goals of the pro-gram is to encourage property owners to voluntary correct unsafe conditions at their property, thus ensuring the safety of all residents through inspections while allowing homeowners to receive all the proper permits without penalty.

The council also approved a contract between the city and the Youth Mentor-ing Connection to conduct a citywide youth mentoring program.

Director of Human Resources Steven Gomez said the city sponsored a Youth Mentoring Program from April 2010 to September 2010 in collaboration with the Youth Mentoring Connection (YMC). The YMC assisted the city with recruit-ment, screening and training of the adult mentors, led the program orientation and monthly meetings. He said the city took the lead in recruitment of the men-tors, provided the facilities and supplies/equipment.

The duration of the new agreement would be from March 2011to January 2012. Cost is $30,000.

Councilmember Barry Bruce asked why city staff made the recruitment tele-phone calls when YMC staff knew more abut the program and how it works than city staff.

Mayor Mike Gomez said this was done because city personnel know many of the perspective mentors who tend to be wary when a stranger calls. “They feel more comfortable with them,” he said.

The council also approved a quit-claim deed and all interest in the pedes-trian bridge over Coyote Creek Channel

to the county. Colombo said the Los An-geles County Flood Control wants to tear the bridge down, which has been deemed unsafe. It is located southerly of 226th Street and adjacent to Hawaiian Elemen-tary School.

It was originally built so students living on the Long Beach side of the channel could attend Hawaiian Elemen-tary School. The bridge has been closed for several years, deemed unsafe by the county. At one point the city was inter-ested in having the bridge retrofitted or a new one built so Hawaiian Gardens residents would have direct access to the bike trail on the Long Beach side of the channel.

Elegino said, "I was watching the news every day and all I would see is the devastation of the tsunami, the death total and the missing total. I was in tears every day until I decided, enough tears, I've got to do something.

I met Mayor Chen and told her my concert idea and she said the City want-ed to help too." Cerritos Mayor Carol K. Chen said, "The City is grateful to Mr. Elegino for conceiving and organizing the concert. Our hearts go out to the people of Japan and our community has expressed a desire to help. The City is proud to of-fer Cerritos Park East as the concert venue and I encourage everyone to contribute to this effort."
