City News Service

The City is stepping up plans to repair more than $20-million in in-frastructure in the current fiscal year. This amount is significantly higher than prior years. As the economy sta-bilizes after the “Great Recession,” the City plans to spend down capital project reserve funds, as construction prices remain favorable in the current economic environment. However, once these funds are spent, limited funding will be available to complete future in-frastructure repairs.

A recent engineering review of La Mirada’s infrastructure identified more than $67 million in infrastruc-

ture needs for streets, sewers, storm drains, traffic signals, curbs, gutters, sidewalks, bridges, and access ramps. A significant portion of this year’s Capital Projects Budget is dedicated to work identified in the engineer’s re-port. “These improvements will help correct some of the worst conditions found in La Mirada’s streets according to engineering studies,” says Public Works Director Steve Forster. “These projects will be occurring throughout La Mirada with several projects going at the same time.”

Funding for $4,495,966 in street re-pair work is budgeted for streets rated

property taxes to help Salari’s clients.

Los Cerritos/Lamplighter Newspaper was the first media outlet in Southern California to disclose information about the “pay-to-play” scheme.

Cooley said the arrests and charges are part of a continu-

ing investigation into public corruption at the Assessor’s Office. Noguez, who an-nounced he would take a leave of absence in June, returned to work briefly before going out on an indefinite medical leave.

More than 300 Democratic activists and friends gathered at Cerritos Park East on, Oct. 12 to support President

Barack Obama and Democratic victories throughout Southeast Los Angeles Coun-ty. The event was sponsored and hosted by former Cerritos Mayors

Joseph Cho, PhD and Laura Lee, the Hubert Humphrey Democratic Club, and elected officials from the surrounding cit-ies of Artesia, Hawaiian Gardens, Lake-wood and

Norwalk. Artesia councilman Victor Manalo

welcomed those who attended and said that only at a Democratic event could they see such diversity in the room. Many ethnic groups were represented including Chi-nese, Korean, Filipino, Indian, Pakistani, Latino and African American.

Former Cerritos Mayor Laura Lee spoke about the difference in philosophy between the two major political parties and said, “It is important for all of us in this room to work hard to support our can-didates and officials so that we have many Democratic victories on Nov. 6.” States Senator Alan Lowenthal, Assemblymem-ber Tony Mendoza, and Assembly candi-dates Ian Calderon (AD57), and Cristina Garcia (AD58), echoed Lee’s remarks and Gary Guthman, representative of AFSC-ME 36 urged NO on 32.

Keynote Speaker, Congresswoman Linda Sanchez fired up the group with her speech and warnings of more problems if the Republicans were to take over the

White House or Congress. “Let us not for-get how we got into this economic crisis in the first place, and the Republicans want us to go back to those same policies again. We have already tried them in the past, and they don’t work!” Sanchez reminded many of the business people in the room that the Republican Party says it is for business. “And it is, but only for big business and the corporations—not small business owners such as yourselves!” Sanchez encouraged everyone to get their friends and family out to the polls and vote.

Artesia Councilman Manalo and Cer-ritos Commissioner Cindy Yen Chen intro-duced the local officials from surrounding cities including Artesia council members Miguel Canales and Tony Lima, Cerritos Councilman Mark Pulido, Hawaiian Gar-dens Mayor Pro Tem Victor Farfan, Lake-wood Councilman Steve Croft, La Palma councilman Ralph Rodriguez and Nor-walk councilman Marcel Rodarte.

Guests included State Assembly Can-didates Ian Caldron and Cristina Garcia, Host Committee members Artesia Coun-cilmembers Miguel Canales, Tony Lima and Victor Manalo, Cerritos Councilman Mark Pulido, Hawaiian Gardens Mayor Pro Tem Victor Farfan, Lakewood Coun-cilman Steve Croft, La Palma councilman Ralph Rodriguez, Norwalk councilman Marcel Rodarte and Event Committees members Hubert H.

Democrats Hold Rally at Cerritos Park East

Artesia Council Denies Church Parking VarianceBy Rico Dizon

A Request by the Cerritos Presbyte-rian Church [CPC] for an off-street park-ing variance and modification to a Condi-tional Use Permit to convert an incidental gymnasium into a multi-purpose room for the property located at 11840 E. 178th St. was denied by the Artesia city council at its Oct. 8 meeting. Mayor Pro Tem Sally Flowers was absent. .

Planning Director Okina Dor said the existing child care and youth educational center and gymnasium use were devel-oped and approved by the City of Artesia in 2000 with low-impact uses on the sur-rounding residential neighborhood. In de-nying the request the council said approval of the variance would allow for a higher impact multi-purpose room use and would be inconsistent with the City’s original ap-proval.”

The council also noted granting of the variance for additional parking spaces

would be detrimental to the public wel-fare since the applicant did not meet the requirement of 215 parking spaces for the proposed multi-purpose room use under the City Municipal Code. The council said the parking spill -over would be detrimen-tal to those residents that rely on the avail-ability of street parking.”

In his report to the council, Dor said the CPC has started using the gymnasium for other uses including a place of worship and assembly “They need to bring it back to the original set up to comply first within a specified time line before anything else,” clarified the City Planning Director.

Following its request for more time to come up with alternative options, CPC’s latest status report by Session Clerk Woonsup Park on Oct. 8 mostly on the use of shared parking and parking space leases in separate locations failed to convince the City Council and justify the granting of a parking variance and CUP modification to the property.

Making Vows Without Planting Seeds Results in No Harvest to ReapBy Jerry [email protected]

“Did you watch the vice presi-dential debate

last week?,” my Friend from Fruitcake, Flori-da asked as he sat him-self down by my desk.

“As a matter of fact, I did,” I replied.

“What did you think of it?”“Well,” I said, “I thought it was a good

one. Both candidates for the most part didn’t beat around the bush. “

“I thought so to,” my friend answered. “How would rate it?

”I call it a draw. If you’re a Democrat you probably would say the Vice President won. If you’re a Republican, I guess you’d say Ryan won.”

“My opinion exactly, “ my Friend said. “They didn’t dance around the issues. That in itself was refreshing. You know,” he added, “It would be nice if Sacramento did the same thing. The legislature votes on a measure but seldom explains its ramifica-

tions to their constituents ““Probably because our representatives

don’t know themselves,” I replied.. My Friend was leading up to something, so I decided to sit back and see where he was going.

“Back in Fruitcake the city council voted to place a measure on the ballot for voter approval. They wanted to initiate a park tax in order upgrade the little league baseball field and adjacent park. They said the measure would only add one cent to the existing park tax and would only be for one year.”

“So what happened?” I asked.“Our good citizens of Fruitcake ap-

proved it. The ball field was redone, but the adjacent park, which I might add needed a makeover, wasn’t touched. The council said it had underestimated the cost of the two projects and decided to put the unused portion of the tax into the city’s general fund.”

“What was wrong with that,” I asked. “Everyone thought that was a good idea.

The good citizens of Fruitcake were led to believe the money would be put aside, with the council budgeting additional funds the following year to tackle the park.”

”What happened?” I asked.“Nothing. The money was used to bal-

ance the budget .” He paused for a moment and then added. “The citizens had had enough and voted those up or re-election out of office. You know the whole episode reminds me of what’s going on in your state capitol.” He paused a for a moment and then continued.” California voters are being asked to approve Proposition 30, which the Governor and Legislature say if approved the money will go to the state’s schools when actually it will go into the state’s general fund to help balance the budget.

“Yes, “ I interjected,” but the state will

not sock the schools and colleges this year with additional cuts the school year.”

“I have a question for you,” my Friend from Fruitcake, Florida said, “This propo-sition will raise approximately $6 billion. The state deficit is close to $15 billion. How’s the State going to meet the balance of the deficit? And what will happens dur-ing the 2013-14 school year.”

“The answer to your first question,” I stated, “is the governor and legislature will use the money to lower the deficit and the schools will not get hit with new cuts this fiscal year. As for the deficit balance I don’t have an answer. As for the 2013-14 fiscal year your guess is as good as mine.

What about Proposition 38? he asked. “Doesn’t the money raised from that go to the schools.”

:Approximately 60 percent of the rev-enue will go to schools for the first four years. After that 85 percent will go to the schools. The balance will go into the gen-eral fund.” I answered. Proposition 38 rev-enue would be placed in a fund out of reach of the legislature and governor and could only be used for the schools. The catch is the money will probably not be available until after the new school year begins in June.”

“What happens in the meantime?” he asked.

“I don’t know,” but it seems to me it’s the better of the two. If they both pass, the one with the highest number of votes wins,” I added.

My Friend from Fruitcake, Florida didn’t answer. Finally he said, “I have to get going, I’m meeting VAL LYNDER, DEFENDER OF ALL THAT IS TRUE and her cousin “MATILDER for lunch.. I’m sure they’ll have a few things to say about the deficit and both propositions.

“Good luck,” I said as he left the office.

Su Casa has received a $20,000 grant from The Mary Kay Foundation in ob-servation of Domestic Violence Aware-ness Month in the month of October, Su Casa-Ending Domestic Violence, is a lo-cal women’s shelter serving Southeast Los Angeles County The Mary Kay Founda-tion awards $20,000 grants to more than 150 domestic violence shelters across the country for a total of $3 million.

Vicki Doolittle, Su Casa Executive Di-rector said the agency will use the grant to provide shelter, food, and healing services for victims of domestic violence and their children. “We are enormously grateful to the Mary Kay Foundation for this grant award because it will support the critical services that Su Casa provides to victims and their children.

Su Casa was founded in 1979 by Pe-tra Meledez, a survivor of domestic vio-lence. Her tenacity and strength to break her cycle of violence inspired thousands of survivors after her to take their own steps towards a safer future. It runs a 24-hour hotline and walk-in center for crisis inter-vention and referrals, a 30-day Emergency Shelter, a 12-month Transitional Shelter, and a 3-unit affordable housing complex for survivors and their children. They provide counseling, support groups, do-mestic violence educational and parenting groups, food, clothing, restraining order preparation, court accompaniment, and safety planning for any survivor of domes-tic violence.

“The Mary Kay Foundation is com-mitted to breaking the cycle of domestic violence.” said Anne Crews, Mary Kay Inc. Vice President of Government Re-lations and board member for The Mary Kay Foundation. “Through our grants, we honor and support shelters across the country that are having a profound impact for women and children in their communi-ties.

The Mary Kay Foundation was created in 1996, and its mission is two-fold: to fund research of cancers affecting women and to help prevent domestic violence while rais-ing awareness of the issue. Since the Foun-dation’s inception, it has awarded nearly $31 million to shelters and programs ad-dressing domestic violence prevention and more than $18 million to cancer research-ers and related causes throughout the Unit-ed States.

API SCORES AT ALL TIME HIGH DESPITE BUDGET CUTSCredit Given to

Teachers and StudentsBy Jerry [email protected]

The ABCUSD has much to be proud of. API scores for the ABC Unified School District rose from an average of 832 in 2010-11 to 848 based on the current enrollment of 20,976 students in the 30 District schools.

Twenty ABC schools have met or ex-ceeded the 800 API point score, up from the 18 schools last year. Schools with the highest scores included Leal Elementary (967), Carmenita Middle School (946), and Whitney High School (995). Superin-tendent Dr. Mary Sieu noted that four out

of five of the District’s elementary school s are at or over the API mark of 800.

Members of the school board have all expressed pride in the District’s teach-ers, noting that despite budget cuts and furlough days made in the last four years they have remained focused on teaching and learning, Dr. Sieu said,” In light of diminishing resources that all public schools are facing, it is incredible that ABC has been able to raise the student ac-ademic achievement the past five years.”

Schools with the biggest API scores are: Niemes Elementary, +35; Burbank Elementary, +46; Fedde Middle School, +56; Artesia High School, +28; ABC Sec-ondary, +73; Tracy High School, +104.

One of the largest shifts took place at Fedde Middle School in Hawaiian Gardens, where the school’s API score improved from 685 to 741, an increase

partially aided by a $1.5 million School Improvement Grant received by Fedde three years ago.

The grant has created important re-sources and opportunities for the students in terms of providing intervention and help during the regular school day or after school. Students can get help on Satur-days and during the summer.

Other improvements made at elemen-tary schools located in the city of Artesia include Niemes, Burbank and Elliot, all scoring over 800. Scores at Artesia High School (788) and Gahr High School (790) are now almost even, but the demograph-ics at each school are different. Dr. Sieu said this is attributed to the fact that at Artesia, a focus was made on students, of which English is a second language and those with learning disabilities. Basically each school has different needs, but the

simple desire for teachers to teach, and students to learn make the difference.

"We've realized how important it is to have a uniform curriculum throughout the District and guaranteed to all students no matter where their school is located. “ In addition the District has established benchmark assessments to help determine how well students are doing, implement-ing intervention at every school to assure students are getting help if they are not performing on the level they need to be

Dr. Sieu said the implementation of the Swum Math Program, which trains teachers how to present math concepts in a non-traditional process, has helped both Burbank and Elliot elementary school students improve in math. This program was initiated by the schools and is under study by some of our other schools,” she said.

There were 277 calls for service handled by patrol personnel, down from 282 the previous reporting period. The new 2012 weekly average in calls for ser-vice is now 291.

Two robberies were reported and both involved shoplifting incidents that esca-lated into physical contact. At 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday October 9 a loss prevention offi-cer was attempting to detain a suspect at a retail store in the 11500 block of South Street when the suspect struggled in an at-tempt to flee. He was subdued and arrest-ed. Just over an hour later another suspect fought with the same loss prevention of-ficer while attempting to get away. He too was ultimately placed in custody.

Residential burglaries dropped from seven to three last week. Two entries were made possible by open/unlocked doors or windows and a window was shattered in the third case. Cash, a safe, coins, jewelry, a camera and wallets were stolen. The 2012 weekly average in residential burglaries is now 4.9.

We have previously mentioned that the residential burglar will try to enter the home with the least amount of effort. Leaving doors and windows open creates that effortless opportunity. In one case last week, a second story window was left open and was used as a point of entry. Re-gardless of where the door or window is located, make sure that you check and se-cure them prior to leaving the residence.

Four commercial burglaries were logged last week, up from two the week before. Two school lockers were targeted for cell phones. A warehouse and a closed business were the other crime scenes where laptop computers were stolen. Two were recovered in the warehouse case. The 2012 weekly average in “other structure”/commercial burglaries is 2.2.

Vehicle burglaries rose from four to eight. Five occurred in high-volume com-mercial parking lots and two were SUVs. Cash, purses, a stereo, wallets, credit cards

and a third-row seat (from an SUV) were taken. The 2012 weekly average in vehicle burglaries is 7.1.

If a vehicle burglary suspect can see your property inside of the vehicle, he or she can steal it in seconds and leave you a shattered window to repair as well.

Vehicle thefts remained the same at three last week. Two of the thefts involved high-volume commercial parking lots. An SUV, a Honda and a Toyota were stolen. The new 2012 weekly average in vehicle thefts remained at 3.9.

There was no information to suggest that any of these vehicles were equipped with any type of anti-theft device. Trans-portation is the primary cause of vehicle thefts, therefore to the thief, any make or model will do. Consider a steering wheel locking device that serves as a good visual deterrent.

LA MIRADA COMMUNITY CALENDAR, LOCAL CLUBS AND ORGANIZATIONS-Call 562-407-3873 to add your organization or event.

Dear Jerry, Thank you for generously giving of

your time to be guest speaker at the La Mirada Ebell meeting last Wednesday, October 10th.

Our members appreciated hear-ing about the background history and future development of the La Mirada Lamplighter. We were delighted to hear journalist Rina Magsombol will

as being in the greatest need, accord-ing to engineering reports. The work will include street rehabilitation, curb, gutter, and sidewalk repairs, and storm drain improvements to 42 neighbor-hood streets throughout La Mirada. This work is being engineered by three engineering firms as separate projects to expedite the improvements. Con-struction is scheduled to begin in Feb-ruary and be completed in July.

An additional $2,727,415 is bud-geted for the final phase of the Fos-ter Park Neighborhood Improvements project, which is scheduled to begin in summer 2013. The project will be funded using redevelopment bond proceeds, which are currently frozen by the State. City officials are hopeful the bonds will be “unfrozen” by the State in late spring.

Several street improvements are planned for La Mirada’s industrial area and will be completed using County and State funds. Street reha-bilitation projects in advance of the I-5 freeway widening will begin in early 2013 using $2,500,000 in Measure R Transit funds. Improvements will be made to Firestone Boulevard South, Trojan Way, Alondra Boulevard, and Stage Road. In addition, Knott Av-enue will be resurfaced under a coop-erative arrangement with the City of Buena Park by the end of 2012. Some $300,000 in State funds is budgeted to complete this project.

Connie Marie Jacobe, Stepha-nie Lainez, Cristal Marquez, Celine Martinez, Eric Mejia, Omar Morales, Adriana Pinkerton, Angelo Ramirez, Darrin Rensman, Angel Saavedra, Adrian Villagrana, and Ivette Zamora were all recognized for their excep-tional talents.

“I’m really impressed,” stated McLoy prior to listing off their names.

The school board also assisted in funding their trip to compete at the festival, raising money through bakes sales and garage sales.

From La Mirada High School, the High Welding Fabrication Team placed 7th at the SkillsUSA 48th An-nual National Competition in Kansas City of Missouri.

Jordan Asti, Ryan Cooper and Dakota Sun were three individuals recognized by their instructor, Brent Tuttle, an ROP Welding teacher.

La Mirada finished in 7th place over 25 other high schools nation-wide.

The competition involved a writ-ten exam relating to welding fabrica-tion and safety. Another part of the competition was a designing portion, as they fabricated three fire pits.

“Out of all the fire pits, theirs’ was the most complex for a high school team – and that is what the judges said. Ours’ was really complex and it has a lot of angles,” announced Tuttle.

INFRASTUCTUREContinued from page 1

Major sidewalk improvements planned for Santa Gertrudes Avenue from Lemon Drive to Rosecrans Av-enue are scheduled to begin in Janu-ary and be completed in April. Work includes a new meandering sidewalk, curb and gutter repairs, new curb ac-cess ramps, street tree removal, and landscaping treatments.

Two traffic signal improvement projects are planned for the intersec-tions of Telegraph Road/Imperial Highway and Artesia Boulevard/In-dustry Circle. The traffic signal up-grades are estimated to cost a total of $731,200 and will be completed in summer 2013. The traffic signals will improve traffic flow and enhance safety at these intersections.

Additional infrastructure repair projects will be undertaken in fu-ture years as sufficient funds become available.

be covering La Mirada! We appreciate the copies you

brought of the newspaper which also included the “convenient locations list” where we are able to pick up a copy. We love having local area news and wish the La Mirada Lamplighter much success.

The Ebell club very much enjoyed your informative presentation—thank you again.

Sincerely,

Doris ThompsonProgram Chairperson

and then lead to a private jail cell.Within an hour of the Noguez arrest,

both Mc Neil, and Salari were hand-cuffed and taken into custody at two other locations in Los Angeles County. McNeil at his home in the Venice area, and Salari at his multi-million dollar mansion in the San Fernando Valley.

All are being held on bails of at least $1.1 to $1.3 million. They are expected to appear in Division 30 of at the Claire Shortridge Justice Building on Friday. Los Cerritos Community Newspaper will be present during the appearance.

“Los Angeles County voters and taxpayers deserve honest, hardwork-ing elected and appointed officials who will serve the best interests of the people,” Dist. Atty. Cooley said during a press conference Wednesday. “Resi-dents must have confidence that their government is not for sale to the high-est bidder or the highest briber.”

Cooley reminded members of the media on Wednesday that “his real name is Juan Renaldo Rodriguez.”

“Even his name John Noguez is a lie,” Cooley said.

Salari, the flashy tax consultant and campaign contributor to Noguez, was arrested at a residence in Encino by D.A. investigators. The 49-year-old is being held on $1.36 million bail. All of Salari’s financial assets were frozen on Wednesday as well, Cooley said.

McNeil, a principal assessor pro-moted by Noguez to head the Major Appraisal Division, was arrested at

his home in West Los Angeles by D.A. investigators. The 54-year-old is being held on $1.16 million bail.

The complaint’s Overt Acts allege that Noguez accepted $185,000 in bribes from Salari between February and September, 2010. Noguez also re-ceived a list of properties represented by Salari.

Soon after receiving the checks and the list, Noguez’ chief appraiser, McNeil, appeared at hearings and re-duced the assessed value on numerous properties, including the Old Spaghetti Factory, and properties in Santa Moni-ca, Hermosa Beach, Torrance and Los Angeles.

The complaint also alleges Noguez also told appraiser Scott Schenter to “take care of our buddy Ramin,” and, “We have to take care of our donors.” Schenter was charged previously in a separate complaint.

Noguez is charged with 24 felony counts, including four counts of ac-cepting bribes; five counts of perju-ry, two counts of conspiracy; and 13 counts of misappropriation by a public officer. The complaint alleges the fraud and embezzlement exceeds $500,000.

Salari is charged with 23 felony counts, including eight counts of brib-ing an executive officer; two counts of conspiracy; and 13 counts of misap-propriation. In addition to allegedly bribing Noguez, Salari is charged with four counts of paying appraiser Scott Schenter $100,000 in bribes.

McNeil is charged with 14 felony counts, including one count of con-spiracy and 13 counts of misappropri-ation by a public officer.

Schenter, who worked from 1988 to early 2011 as a county appraiser, was charged in a separate complaint with allegedly slashing values on multi-million dollar homes, condos and busi-nesses in Beverly Hills, Brentwood and Pacific Palisades. He allegedly secured campaign contributions from the owners of those homes and busi-ness for Noguez.

Deputy District Attorneys Susan Schwartz and Michele Gilmer are prosecuting the case.

If convicted as charged, Noguez faces up to 30 years, four months in state prison; Salari faces up to 29 years, four months in state prison; and McNeil faces up to 20 years, eight months in state prison.

During the press announcement about the arrests, Cooley told LCCN that additional arrests are “pending.” “This criminal case is still evolving,” he said.

Many sources tell LCCN that sev-eral of Noguez past political donors, as well as campaign advisors are consid-ered to be part of the massive probe.

Court documents filed claim that Salari was listed as owning more than $3.3 million in assets, including prop-erty in Calabasas now in escrow, a new Ferrari worth $229,000, a Mercedes, BMW and Infiniti.

"The chutzpah is way out there," Cooley said.

"I've been with this office for near-ly four decades," he added. "This par-ticular case strikes me as the largest, most significant public corruption case in terms of county government during that time frame."

Also in the indictment, the Los An-geles County Property Appeals Board reviewed nine different properties represented by Salari. Assessor Rep-resentative Roger Walls, who has not been arrested or charged but is named in the complaint, recommended an as-sessed value well below the value rec-ommended by the testifying appraiser, according to the complaint.

Noguez's lawyer, Michael Proctor told media members that the arrest “contradicts earlier promises” made by the Cooley office during the course of the investigation.

"John Noguez has been given as-surances by the District Attorney's Office that he would have the opportu-nity to tell his side of this controversy before any final charging decision was made," Proctor said in a statement Wednesday. "By arresting Mr. Noguez today, before honoring that commit-ment, the District Attorney's Office is communicating that this was not in fact a search for truth, but a one-sided, result-driven investigation aimed at `getting' Mr. Noguez."

Cooley responded: “All Noguez has to do is waive his Miranda rights and I have plenty of prosecutors willing to talk to him."

You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auc-tioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the ex-istence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that infor-mation about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale.

The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder's sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. If the sale is set aside for any reason, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the monies paid.

Hundreds of students and parents descended on the Norwalk-La Mirada School District headquarters as the school district hosted the 1st Annual NLMUSD College Expo Day 2012 this last Thursday.

The district-the 15th largest in California-welcomed representatives from colleges and universities from all over Southern California and beyond, to interact with students and parents, hand out brochures and other literature containing important information and answer questions they might have.

Each representative had an infor-mation table in which parents and students were able to discuss the requirements to attend the college or university.

Also, topical workshops were presented during two session times. In Session 1, Tiana Otabuah (UCI) presented a workshop on “College 101”; Kaplan Test Prep presented “SAT Test Prep”; UCLA presented “Tips on Writing a Personal Statement”; and Cypress College presented a workshop on “Financial Aid”.

During Session 2, Otabuah present-ed a workshop on “What Juniors Need to Know”; Cerritos College presented “Community College and Transfer-ring”; CSUF presented a workshop on “Early Outreach Program (UOP)”; and Cypress College presented a second workshop on “Financial Aid”.

Representatives from the City of Norwalk, City of La Mirada, PTA, and

ROP were also present at the commu-nity event to talk about their services.

The occasion featured a welcome greeting from Superintendent Dr. Ruth Perez and a special message from Con-gresswoman Linda Sanchez.

The idea was born when middle and high school counselors of the school district, at one of their monthly meet-ings, were discussing ways to revamp a district college handbook. In the past, the district’s high schools and middle schools held their own college infor-mation nights. The counselors decided to have an event for all the schools

Soon, the district counselor team of Irene Rifilato (Norwalk High School), David Hallum (La Mirada High School), Candida Hernandez (Los Coy-otes Middle School) and Jenny Amaya (Waite Middle School) were chosen by the other counselors to organize the new expo.

The team received full support from district officials, including from the Educational Services office-Angela Lenhart (Secretary) and Dr. Albert Clegg (Director K12 Instructional Sup-port Services).

Students and parents were generally

pleased to have a “one-stop” event to obtain college education information.

It wasn’t long after the 2 ½ hour af-fair started, that the team realized the event was a success, and discussions began, to provide a larger venue for next year’s offering.

Rifilato, staring out at the overflow-ing crowd told us they didn’t know what to expect at the first event, “We didn’t know what kind of turnout we would have, this is so exciting.”

She said the idea makes sense, “This is what we do (the counselors), we communicate with colleges, so let’s have it all in one spot.”

Amaya acknowledged that everyone has different options, but told us the message is about the importance of students continuing their education, “We want our kids going to college. Our motto is-it’s not a dream, it’s a plan.”

BENEFITS OF COPPER REPIPING:

By Rico Dizon

Just before the flow of redevelopment dollars was put to a halt, the City of La Palma pride itself for having achieved the state- mandated goals of channeling 20 percent of the city’s redevelopment alloca-tion to the task of providing home owner-ships to people who may not afford it.

Douglas D. Dumhart, Community De-velopment Director of La Palma, said that a living testimony of helping people real-ize a part of their American Dream is the Tapestry Walk Affordable Town Homes located on the north side of La Palma Ave. east of Denni St. and adjacent to Luther Elementary School, the first such project in the City.

Dumhart told the Community News “the City signed an Agreement with Ol-son Company in June of 2011 to develop f affordable housing on approximately one acre bought by the City for $1.4 million in December of 2010 with redevelopment funds.” A part of the City General Plan in 1999 and updated in 2009, the objective of the Agreement, was to provide owner-ship housing opportunities to low income eligible buyers who otherwise may not be able to purchase a home in La Palma.

La Palmas Community Development Director said although the Regulatory Housing Needs Assessments (RINA) at that time originally called for 16 afford-able housing units the land and budget

could only accommodate 12 units.” Twelve town home units were constructed for mixed income households: six units at fair market rate of $415,000 and six units for low to moderate income families at price range of $165,000 to $299,000 each. By low income it meant household with two to five members earning a combined in-come of $38,000 to $61,000 while moder-ate income household are those with total income of $61,000 to 81,000.

By April of 2012 the Tapestry Walk Affordable Town Homes was ready for occupancy and within a six-month period

the six units meant for low to moderate in-come families were fully occupied except for one unit under the moderate income household that did not pass escrow. Two new affordable housing owners, the Kim and Gil families respectively expressed their joy and gratitude to the City during the last Council Meeting on Oct. 2, 2012.

New home owners are required to sign the Regulatory Agreement/Declaration of Covenants & Restrictions to make sure that objectives of the affordable housing will be kept in perpetuity beyond the first affordable owners.

La Palma’s Affordable Housing Project Underscored

Veteran health care executive Jim Sherman, who has worked with some of the largest and most respected hospitals in southern California, has been appointed President and Chief Executive Officer of Tri-City Regional Medical Center. For the past year, Sherman has served as a consul-tant to the hospital as Executive Director of Hospital Operations.

Prior to Tri-City Regional Medical Center, Sherman served as interim Chief Executive Officer for Sherman Oaks Hos-pital and Grossman Burn Center in Sher-man Oaks, California. Most recently he served as President and Chief Executive Officer at Los Robles Hospital & Medi-cal Center in Thousand Oaks, California, successfully rebuilding the main campus and improving employee engagement.

“This is a tremendous community hospital that serves as a major asset for lo-cal residents and those all over greater Los Angeles and Orange Counties,” said Sher-man. “Our long term strategic plans are

taking shape and we are seeking to make significant investments in new technology and community partnerships. Our center of excellence programs in spine surgery and weight loss surgery attract physicians and patients from all over the southern California and we need to constantly keep improving our state-of-the art capabili-ties. As a non-profit hospital, our focus puts patients’ needs first and foremost and today’s health care environment means we must engage in advanced technology in both patient care and in systems to im-prove quality of care and efficiencies,” he stressed.

Sherman said the hospital has em-barked on a new era in community part-nerships and enjoys a positive relationship with local civic initiatives, an example being a recent massive free health fair in partnership with the City of Hawaiian Gardens in which more than 400 people attended and received free important health screenings.

SUBURBAN LEAGUE FOOTBALL

By Loren [email protected]

There were so many turning points in last Friday’s pivotal Suburban League football game between host Norwalk

and Bellflower but the one that hurts the most is the one that ended the game. A hold-ing call following a sack on fourth down gave new life to Bellflower and Swain Wil-liams tossed a five-yard touchdown pass to Andrew Gose in overtime to lift the Bucca-neers to a 45-44 win on homecoming night.

The Lancers had gone ahead 44-38 on a 14-yard run from senior fullback Malcom McAllister. But the two-point conversion was botched and images of last season’s game at Bellflower were beginning to come back. Norwalk lost to Bellflower 28-27 in overtime last season on a missed extra point, the second straight one-point overtime loss last season.

After the McAllister touchdown, the Bucs had driven to the 11-yard line. But star running back Ryan Hunley was pushed back on consecutive plays. Then on fourth and 13 from the 14-yard line, McAllister appeared to have sacked Williams to end the game. But a late flag was thrown, giving new life to the Bucs. Following the game, Norwalk head coach Jesse Ceniceros was stunned as was the partisan crowd at Excelsior Sta-dium.

“It was a hell of a game but that was a bad call,” Ceniceros said. “I’m sorry. It’s fourth down and you’re going to call a holding call in the end zone? He was sacked already and I saw the flag coming up.

“There were referees who did a poor job today and I’m not going to take anything away from our kids because they played their hearts out,” he continued. “It’s getting bad because we’ve already had three weeks in a row where we’ve had poor [officiating].”

Norwalk (6-2 overall, 2-2 in the league) had entered the game as the third ranked team in the California Interscholastic Feder-ation-Southern Section’s Southeast Division and the game was a match-up of the league’s top two running backs-Hunley and Norwalk junior Rashaad Penny. Those two didn’t disappoint as they combined for over 550 yards. The Lancers took a 7-0 lead on their first play from scrimmage when Penny went around the right side, then cut back and went to the other side of the field where he jaunted for a 55-yard score.

Then on Norwalk’s third play from scrimmage, Penny busted loose for a 91-yard touchdown run and nearly seven minutes in, it was 14-0 and all signs pointed towards

a Norwalk rout. But Gose returned the en-suing kickoff 96 yards and that score was followed by a successful onside kick from Diego Sanchez. Two plays later, Hunley’s 35-yard run tied the game at 14-14. Bellflow-er again would successfully recover another onside kick but was held on downs. Norwalk gained 181 yards in the first quarter but had the ball for 3:20.

“We were up 14-0 and it looked like it was going to be a blowout,” Ceniceros said. “Then they got some hope and they came back.”

The Bucs took their first lead early in the second quarter as Hunley raced down the left sideline for an 84-yard score. But just over three minutes later, McAllister tied the

game at 21-21 on his seven-yard run. After Bellflower regained the lead, the first half ended when junior Jorge Perez booted a 43-yard field goal.

The Lancers took their second lead of the game on their first play of the second half when Penny took it to the house for an 82-yard run. That would be the only score by either team in the third quarter. Penny has now scored 19 touchdowns on the ground with five going for at least 55 yards.

The lead would trade hands twice and after Penny picked off Williams deep in Bellflower territory, it looked as if the Lanc-ers would ice the game. But with 3:02 re-

SUBURBAN LEAGUE GIRLS VOLLEYBALL


Just two seasons ago, the Norwalk girls volleyball program had hit rock bottom, going 1-13 overall and fin-

ishing dead last in the Suburban League. But in 2012, the Lady Lancers aren’t just primed to go to the playoffs for the second straight season.

If all of the cards fall into place, Nor-walk could finish as high as second place, or at the very least third place, which hasn’t happened since 2001. This past Tuesday afternoon, Norwalk swept visiting John Glenn 25-22, 25-16, 25-23 to improve to 6-5 overall and 5-2 in the league.

“I kind of played my reserves today,” said Norwalk first-year head coach Jesse Gonzalez. “I have strong four but I just fig-ured I’ll play some of my subs.”

Both teams traded points throughout the first rotation of the first set and when the score reached 9-7 in favor of Glenn, Gonzalez called a timeout but didn’t speak to his team. Instead, he made the players run sprints across the court. That didn’t seem to make much of a difference imme-diately as the Lady Eagles took a 12-7 lead on back to back kills from senior setter Gabby Cruz. Glenn’s lead reached 16-10 before it all fell apart.

“It was just a form of waking them up,” Gonzalez said of the timeout. “They know what they’re supposed to do and they know what they’re capable of doing.”

Following a kill from junior outside

hitter Viviana Gomez, she served seven straight points with five aces. Glenn was able to tie the set three more times but kills from 5’ 9” senior middle blocker Mi-chelle Macias, senior outside hitter Bre-nae Brown and 5’ 8” sophomore middle blocker Jazmin Guzman allowed Norwalk to steal the first set.

“We don’t have a lot of hitters that kill the ball or that hit the ball real hard,” said Glenn head coach David Cruz. “So we don’t have anybody that we can rely on to get points. We’re fortunate that they serve into the net, which they did a lot. That’s the way we were getting our points and that’s the way we got our lead.”

It was all Norwalk in the second set, racing to leads of 8-2 and 13-6. But after the Lady Eagles (1-11, 0-8) rallied to trail by a point at 16-15, a Guzman kill gave the serve to freshman defensive specialist Kathleen Perez, where she reeled off five straight points.

The third set featured five ties in the early going before five straight points from Gomez put the Lady Lancers in front to stay. A kill from Glenn senior libero Jayme Leal made it 24-23 before junior setter Dayna Moreno’s kill capped off Norwalk’s second straight sweep and fifth of the season.

Guzman and Macias led everyone with 14 kills followed by nine from Gomez and eight from Brown, giving Norwalk a for-midable offensive attack that can go toe to toe against Cerritos and La Mirada within the final week of the regular season. Nor-walk hosted first place Mayfair on Oct. 18 and will travel to Artesia on Tuesday and Cerritos on Thursday. The Cerritos match could likely decide third and fourth place.

Over the past 15 seasons, the best league mark for the Lady Lancers was 8-4 back in 1999. Two seasons later, they went 7-5 and three times since then, the best Norwalk did was 6-6.

“We’re trying to do better than we did last year,” Gonzalez said. “I think we can get second. It just takes hard work at prac-tice.”

“They play excellent defense,” David Cruz said. “They don’t let anything fall. They move their feet. They’re excellent in serve receive and it seems like they have flawless fundamentals defensively. And, they have some girls who are aggressive and can put the ball away. I can see them beating Cerritos a second time.”

The Lady Eagles, who are mired in their worst season in over 15 seasons, were led by senior outside hitter Denise Miranda (nine kills) and Cruz (six kills).They visit Mayfair on Tuesday and host Artesia on Thursday. Two seasons ago, Glenn went 3-15 overall and 2-10 in league.

“I was frustrated about two weeks ago,” David Cruz said. “I’m pretty much over that. Against Cerritos [on Oct. 9] when I saw the [lack of] fight in our team…it kind of summarized our season. We find ways to lose a game and once we get down, there’s not a lot of fight in us to get back in the game.”

maining in regulation, Penny fumbled and the Bucs got the ball at their own 30-yard line. Bellflower drove all the way to the Norwalk 24-yard line where Sanchez tied the game with a 41-yard field goal with 2.4 seconds left.

Although Penny led everyone with 292 yards on 21 carries, it was the work of Hun-ley that frustrated the Norwalk defense. Hunley rushed for 264 yards on 44 carries while two other players combined for 26 yards on nine touches.

“They had a good game plan and obvi-ously he had some yards on us,” Ceniceros said. “We didn’t end up playing good today. You have to be able to win the big games and obviously we didn’t.”

McAllister added 77 yards on 10 car-ries while senior wingback Bryan Sullivan

chipped in with 60 yards on eight carries. Penny also caught a 21-yard touchdown pass from senior quarterback Jacquise Hooper midway through the fourth quarter. On de-fense, junior Aaron Armendarez and sopho-more Jacob Carr each had seven and a half tackles. Norwalk’s offense ran two more plays and the number of carries Hunley had and the Lancers were on the field for just un-der 16 minutes. Norwalk will be off tonight before closing the regular season on Oct. 26 against its city rival John Glenn. The Lanc-ers dropped to fourth place in the league with the top three getting automatic playoff berths. Norwalk will also get a forfeit vic-tory over Cerritos and could end the regular season at 8-2 overall and 4-2 in the league. The Lancers still have an outside chance of becoming co-league champions or still sec-ond place outright.

“This was a tough loss and it’s going to be tough for me to get over,” Ceniceros said.

OLYMPIC LEAGUE GIRLS VOLLEYBALL


In a match that was decided by nine points, an error here or there could make

the difference in who comes away with a sweep and who gets swept. Valley Christian hooked up with Maranatha this past Tuesday night in a key Olym-pic League girls vol-leyball tilt and the Lady Crusaders were a few plays away from sweeping the Minute-men.

Instead, it was the other way around as V.C. was stunned at home, 25-20, 28-26, 26-24 and lost a home match to Marana-tha for the first time since Oct. 3, 2000. The loss was even more devastating to the Lady Crusaders because they were hop-ing to avenge an earlier four-set loss to the Minutemen while at the same time stay close to front-running Whittier Christian.

“The first game was [25-20] and re-ally that’s two plays,” said V.C. head coach Brett Rinks. “That’s a four-point swing with two errors. Games two and three were both two-point games, so that’s a one-error difference. It was a sweep either way with just a four-point difference in our errors.”

The first set was played as close as anyone could play an opening set. The set was tied 16 times and there were eight lead changes. The largest lead for V.C. was only one point, which occurred seven times. Maranatha’s biggest lead was just two, which happened five times until a kill from Julianne Tyler made it 23-20. In fact, Maranatha scored the final six points of the set.

V.C. (15-5 overall, 2-3 in league) seemed to have its first burst of momentum when it owned leads of 11-6 and 14-7 in the second set. Senior opposite hitter Morgan Haner and sophomore opposite hitter Karly Dan-tuma each slammed three kills as part of those first 14 points. The Lady Crusaders continued to lead until a kill from Emily Anderson tied the set at 22-22.

A kill from senior outside hitter Alyx Henry temporarily prevented Maranatha from winning the set and made it 24-24. Then V.C. was serving for the set after a kill from junior middle blocker Amanda Chamberlain. However, a kill from Lau-ren Holstein, a block from Kendra Logan and an ace from Taylor Chamberlain foiled that chance.

The third set was similar to the first set and had eight ties and four lead changes. Again, the Lady Crusaders, ranked ninth in the California Interscholastic Feder-ation-Southern Section’s Division II-A, were unable to mount any strong surges and didn’t have a lead of greater than two, which came at 7-5. But, V.C. held Marana-tha at match point five times thanks to three aces from senior libero Cayla Palm-er, a kill from Amanda Chamberlain and a block from junior outside hitter Maggie Streelman.

“I think we really confused them at the net,” Rinks said. “Our kills kind of show it. We had a lot of kills for a three-set match. That was part of our new offense we’re running.”

But Logan and Holstein posted kills to end that rally and send the Lady Crusader fans home much earlier than anticipated. It

was only the third three set match all sea-son for V.C., having swept Mayfair back on Sept. 6 and losing in three to Whittier Christian on Oct. 9. In fact, since 2007 and against the current Olympic League mem-bers, V.C. has been involved in 12 league matches that have gone five sets, more than the other four league teams.

“All of these are going to be bat-tles, whether they go three, four

or five,” Rinks said. “It’s just depending on the night and both teams and all that kind of stuff. But all of the games are going to close between us, Maranatha, Village [Chris-tian] and Whittier [Christian].

It just comes down to the team who steps up that night.”Haner led V.C. with 14 kills and

five aces while Henry added 10 kills. Amanda Chamberlain and Dantuma each chipped in with seven kills as the Lady Crusaders visited Village Christian on Oct. 18 and will cap their regular season home slate on Tuesday against last place Heritage Christian. With Whittier Chris-tian knocking off Village Christian this past Tuesday night, the Oct. 18 match will most likely decide third and fourth place.
