Local Child Obesity Rates Reach 'Epidemic' LevelsBy Randy Economy

It is noon time on a Tuesday morn-ing, and thousands of kids through-out the Norwalk-La Mirada Unified School district’s head to the lunch line to take part in the daily ritual known as “the school lunch hour.”

Laura Glenn, the Director of Nu-tritional Services for the Norwalk-La Mirada Unified School District arrives at the Central Kitchen that is housed on the campus of Nettie L.

On stage Mayor Mike Gomez wel-comed the city residents. Families waited patiently in ine with their youngsters to visit with Santa Claus and receive a Christmas present from the jolly old elf and his helpers.

Norwalk Deputy Involved in Shooting Serving Search Warrant Ends in One Death, One ArrestEmiliano Amaya, dies inside his Pioneer Boulevard home during search for murder suspect Henry Bahena who was taken into custody

By Randy Economy

Homicide Bureau Detectives with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Depart-ment are continuing their investigation into the circumstances surrounding the deputy-involved shooting that occurred Thursday morning [Dec. 1] at the 11400 block of Pioneer Boulevard in Norwalk.

Los Cerritos Community News has been told that the victim in the shooting was longtime Norwalk resident Emiliano Amaya.

Investigators have learned at approx-imately 4:50 a.m., Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Special Enforcement Bureau deputies assisted Sheriff’s Homicide detectives with the service of a search warrant to locate a murder suspect at the location on Pioneer Boulevard.

The investigation and search warrant was related to the July 31, 2011, homi-cide of Rogelio Sanchez, which occurred less than two blocks from the Amaya home.

Once inside the residence, Special Enforcement Bureau deputies made contact with the 39-year-old Amaya, who according to a statement issued by LASD on Thursday night “suddenly pointed a handgun at them.”

Deputies fired several rounds at Amaya striking him. Amaya died at the scene.

The primary suspect wanted in con-nection with the July 31 homicide of Sanchez, 31-year-old Henry Bahena was taken into custody without incident. was booked at Norwalk Sheriff’s Station for murder and is being held without bail. Deputy Benjamin Grubb of the LASD Media Headquarters said the investiga-tion is “still in the initial stages.” Grubb would not confirm or deny to LCCN that Amaya was indeed the victim of the

LCCN Cares: Why are our children so FAT? By Randy Economy

It is noon time on a Tuesday morn-ing, and thousands of kids throughout the ABC and Norwalk-La Mirada Unified School district’s head to the lunch line to take part in the daily ritual known as “the school lunch hour.”

Laura Glenn, the Director of Nu-tritional Services for the Norwalk-La Mirada Unified School District arrives at the Central Kitchen that is housed on the campus of Nettie L. Waite El-ementary School to assess the produc-tion line that will result in the shipping more than 10,000 meals to more than 30 campus locations each and every day around the school calendar.

Glenn glances down at the food that is being prepared by dozens of dedicat-ed school district employees that within hours will be dished out at schools ranging from La Mirada High School to Arturo Sanchez Elementary School in Norwalk.

On the day this interview was con-ducted by Los Cerritos Community News the food preparation staff was busy since sunrise preparing baked chicken (never fried, according to Glenn), mashed potatoes, grapes, a dinner roll as well as a choice of milk (including chocolate) and or fruit juice. In addition to those thousands of lunch

meals, a breakfast menu consisting of cold cereal and crackers, or yogurt and crackers, various pre packaged muffins, per purchased sausage sandwiches, pan dulce’ (Mexican sweet breads) and other “assorted items.”

“A large percentage of our students would not get to have breakfast if we didn’t provide them with morning meals,” Glenn said. “We live in a fast food world,” she says begrudgingly.

During the same day in which LCCN was preparing for this series on “Why are our kids getting so fat?” the California State Department issued a report on Physical Fitness Test results, that listed schools in Norwalk, Artesia and Hawaiian Gardens as having some of the most out of shape kids in the Golden State.

In the areas of aerobic capacity, body composition, abdominal strength, upper body strength, and flexibility, students in NLMUSD and ABCUSD fall well below the passing grades, and some area schools rank near the bottom of the scale for schools here in Los An-geles County.

Childhood obesity is spinning out of control in many areas within the greater Southeast Los Angeles County. Many experts now say the number one issue facing students today is not about getting top grades in Advanced Calculus or being accepted to Harvard or Yale, it’s about seeing if our children

La Palma Approves New Zoning MapBy Larry Caballero

The La Palma City Council approved a Zoning Map Amendment requiring the City to designate sufficient areas within its General Plan Housing Element to per-mit multifamily development at a mini-mum density of 20 units per acre. The action followed a recommendation byLa Palma’s Community Development De-partment Associate Planner Scott Hutter.

Hutter said the Amendment was neces-sary to accommodate new housing units for lower-income households. He said the California Department of Housing and Community Development had already certified the project.

Sites selected for consideration, given their location to an elementary school to the south, La Palma Avenue to the north and the Russell Estates (six-unit develop-

Fighting, defeating, battling, La Mirada 14u All Star team used every last bit of energy they had to make it all the way in the “Battle at the Beach” in Long Beach. With last week’s cham-pionship still glowing in their hearts, the momentum pushed the team for-ward in hopes of another first place fin-ish. The battle started under the Friday night lights against North Torrance. The final score ended up being 4-2, with La Mirada’s first win of the week-end. Gwenda Garcia’s clean homerun helped boost the girls self-assurance, assisting in their win. Speedy pitch-ing by Miranda Herrera was a struggle to hit, as the North Torrance girls had difficulty timing properly. LM left the field, anticipating another win.

The girls were ready for game number two against the well-built team Long Beach Heartwell. This was the same team La Mirada beat twice in the previous tournament. Long Beach, playing in their home turf, first took

the lead with a few solid hits. LM wasn’t going down without the fight their known for. Alexis Ortega, starter pitcher, threw great. Even with pitch-ing, defense, and hitting, Long Beach this time came out victorious.

Though the preceding game dis-appointed the team, La Mirada had another game to battle. Fountain Valley was the next opponent. This team was known for their solid hitting. The game was in LM’s favor first with an RBI from Ryann Ippolito, starting things off. Fountain Valley came back strong though, with more hits. Tactical base running helped score many runs, mak-ing the game more intense. Brianna Gomez-Ortega was one of these clever runners, making it to third base on an overthrow. Yet both teams fought long and hard, the final score was 5-5.

Sunday came next, meaning elimi-nation games were to arrive. A rematch against North Torrance was the first step towards the championship. La

CERRITOSWeekly Crime SummaryMay 28, 2012 - June 3, 2012

There were 34 Part I felony crimes re-ported to the Cerritos Sheriff’s Station last week, up from 24 the previous reporting period. Residential burglaries, commer-cial burglaries, and vehicle thefts were up, while robberies and vehicle burglaries were down. Patrol deputies handled 295 calls for service, up from 291 the week before. The 2012 weekly average in calls for service is 267.

There were no robberies reported last week.

Residential burglaries increased from three to ten last week. Four of the crimes were recorded in the area off of Artesia

Boulevard between Carmenita Road and Marquardt Avenue. Eight of the cases last week were facilitated by open or unlocked doors or windows, and two windows were shattered. Computers, cash, jewelry, and cameras were stolen. The 2012 weekly av-erage in residential burglaries is now 4.2.

Leaving windows open to cool the home can be very costly. Consider the ease burglars had in eight of the ten cases last week. It only takes a short period of time to cool the house upon your return, and a few moments of discomfort is much better than the pain victims suffer when their homes are burglarized.

Commercial burglaries rose from two to three last week. Two fitness center lockers were targeted for wallets, ID and keys. A closed business was involved in the third case where an unlocked door was used to gain entry resulting in the loss of metal products. The 2012 weekly average in “other structure”/commercial burglaries is 1.7.

Vehicle burglaries dropped from 13 to nine. High-volume commercial park-ing lots were the crime scenes in eight last week. Seven were SUVs. Purses, wallets, cell phones, laptop computers, credit cards, CDs, clothing, and ID were among items taken. The 2012 weekly average in vehicle burglaries is 7.7.

Remember, less than a quarter of an inch of glass is not sufficient to protect property left in a vehicle. Seven of the nine cases last week had windows shattered to gain entry. These visible items are very ap-pealing and the thief knows exactly what he or she is getting. Avoid the problem and lock the items in the trunk or take them with you.

Two vehicle thefts were reported last week. Two SUVs were stolen from high-volume commercial parking lots. The 2012 weekly average in this category is now 3.6.

We always promote the use of steering wheel locking devices as great visible de-terrents, but also endorse the use of track-ing devices that can lead to the speedy re-covery of your stolen vehicle.

Supervisor Knabe Celebrates Re-election to OfficeBy Jerry [email protected]

“Representing two million people, 27 cities and having no one file against you, you are humbled by that” said

Supervisor Don Knabe to the 300 plus sup-porters gathered at the Marriott Hotel in Long Beach June 5, “More importantly it’s a very emotional time because this is my last time I will be running.” The supervi-sor paused and then continued. “It’s been an incredible run and one I could not have done without my staff, and the support of my wife Julie and family. We’ve come a long way since 1996.”

He said, “What this night means to Ju-lie and I brings back many memories. He thanked those present for being with them since day one. Referring to the battle over redistricting, which he described as being very ugly, he said, “We won. It was prob-ably one of the most difficult battles we faced, but we won.” The supervisor looked at those in the room and added, “We won. People came together and we won.

He described his wife Julie as an in-credible partner. “She has joined

me at 7,438 chicken dinners at every conceivable event. He again paid tribute to his staff, past and present, who he described as the best. “I couldn’t have done it without them.”

Knabe said people don’t call us to say

thank you. They call us because they are hurting. The great thing about my job is when those calls come in, we have to fix the problem, He compared the supervisor’s job to what happens when they go to Sacra-mento or Washington D.C. “We’re told the Republicans won’t do this or they won’t do that. In our shop, we have to fix the prob-

lem, “That’s our job. That’s my job.”Referring to the next four years, he said

there was still a lot to do and he and his staff would not slack off. This is our last four years, he said, but we are working on budget issues, continued support for Ran-cho Los Amigos and protecting our youth. who he described as being very vulnerable.

“Be True to Your School” is the theme for the 14th Excelsior High School Alumni Picnic

on June 23, when alumni (Pilots) will gather together once again for an “Excelsior High All Class Alumni Picnic” from 10:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Teri Medina Bearden, clss of 1956, founder of the picnic will be guest of honor,

President Hilda Cardiel Ambriz Amur-iz, Class of 1963, said ,This is an all alumni picnic.” The first picnic was held at Ralph Clark Park, then moved to Mile Square Park. With the reopening of the Excelsior Campus as the Norwalk La Mirada Adult School 1997 the picnics have been held on the campus.

The year was 1925 and Excelsior High School first opened its doors. Located on the northwest corner of Pioneer and Alon-dra Boulevards, D.A. Stuffer was the first principal and in 1930 Dr. Ralph Burnight became both principal and superintendent of Norwalk High School District.

Excelsior was the only high school in southeast Los Angeles County. Students came from the communities of Arte-

Stowers Elementary School in Cer-ritos has been celebrating a lot this month. First, they celebrated their

recent designation as a 2012 California Distinguished School. This is the first time that Stowers has been selected as a Distin-guished School by the State Department.

The ABC school was one of four el-ementary schools recognized by the Cali-fornia Department of Education as “the best of the best”. Dr. Tom Tracy, Principal of Stowers ES and selected staff members received a plaque and the California Dis-tinguished School flag at a state sponsored ceremony on May 2 in the City of Indus-try.

A special flag raising ceremony was performed in front of the school involving the students, parents and staff on May 25 in honor of becoming a Distinguished School. Cerritos Mayor Jim Edwards provided a proclamation to the school. Commenda-tions also were provided by representatives from Congresswoman Linda Sanchez, State Senator Alan Lowenthal, and L.A. County Supervisor Don Knabe. Board President Olympia Chen, Superintendent Dr. Gary Smuts, Deputy Superintendent Dr. Mary Sieu and Director of Schools, Dr. Cheryl Bodger participated in the special flag rais-

sia, Carmenita, Norwalk, Bellflower and Bloomfield. It ultimately hosted a student body of 2,000. This changed in the 1950’s with the construction of four new high schools: Bellflower in 1951, Artesia High in 1953, La Mirada High in 1957, and Nor-walk High in 1959. The high school closed

in 1981. Amuriz said an early registration fee of

$5 can be mailed to 1310 S. Boulder Av-enue, Ontario, Ca. 91762 A $10 registra-tion fee can be made on the day of the pic-nic. For additional information call Hilda Amuriz at 909-984-2391.

ing ceremony.On Wednesday, May 30th, Stowers

ES celebrated notification from the Inter-national Baccalaureate (IB) Organization in Geneva, Switzerland authorizing the school as a new IB World School. This was announced by Dr. Tracy at the PTA Volunteer Tea in front of hundreds of par-ents and the entire school staff. The school

is now officially authorized to provide the IB Primary Years Program.

Dr. Tracy commended the staff and parents for their diligence in transforming the school into a new IB World School. Stowers ES is a magnet school that has drawn students from inside and outside the district to learn about being an internation-al minded citizen.

PHOTO BY JERRY BERNSTEINThere was a definite excitement in the air as Excelsior pilot alumni gathered on the school’s campus in 1999 school for a jubilee picnic on campus. Many walked along the school lockers in the halls, remembering their student days at Excelsior.

Participating in a flag raising ceremony at Stowers Elementary School celebrating its designation as a California Distinguished School are (l-r) Cerritos Mayor Jim Edwards; Irantzu Pujadas; Angelina Mancillas; Principal Dr. Tom Tracy; Board President Olympia Chen; Superintendent Dr. Gary Smuts; Deputy Superintendent Dr. Mary Sieu; and Director of Schools Dr. Cheryl Bodger.

Nepal Business Exhibit Held at Artesia Park

The Nepalese community in the greater Los Angeles area, in coop-eration with the Nepal Chamber of

Commerce from Nepal and their Ambas-sador Dr. Shankar Sharma, officiated the first Nepal Promotion and Exhibition at Artesia Community Park Apr. 29.

The event was preceded by an official luncheon meeting between the Artesia Chamber of Commerce and the Delegates from the Chamber of Commerce of Nepal. In attendance was Dr. Shankar Sharma, Ambassador of Nepal, who flew in from Washington, DC for the occasion.

The United States is the third largest investor in Nepal after India and China with a total investment ranging from $200-250 million in sectors such as: in-surance, banking, financial services, hydro, tourism and manufacturing. These investments account for 1,400 projects and 11,000 employments. Nepalese food samples, dances, and booths represent-ing Nepalese gift merchandise, wares and clothing making it the first public event of such magnitude. The event brought in

able. An out and out LIE by this person. A coordinator from the county then proceed-ed to come to our voting place to check out the call and verified that we did have all the materials out that the county gave us.

Upon receiving this visit, I tried to find the name of the organization, as this person did not give us a card or truly identify her purpose in being there. I called their offices and spoke to a Mr. Eugene Li, who real-ly couldn’t have cared less to learn what transpired, all he wanted was his person to find fault with the election process. Asian Pacific American Legal Center why don’t you try working an election instead of criti-cizing people who do their civic duty, and in most cases are appreciated. Because of this situation at least 3 of us, myself and 2 of my workers who have worked 18 and 20 plus years will no longer work.

The behavior by this complainer was viewed by myself and my board as very of-fensive and totally unjustified. We try very hard to meet the needs of all voters, either those that are physically challenged, and especially those whom speak languages of other countries. Hopefully this will en-lightened people, that the TRUTH beats blatant LIES.

year totally $11,000, with 14 students overall, receiving gifts.

To qualify, students must reside in La Mirada, but can be attending any high school.

Piltz said the applicants were judged on “their merit, grades, school activity; along with their community involvement and accomplishments, and other determining factors.”

This year, three students attend-ing high schools outside of La Mirada were rewarded. They include Alexa Ortega-Ramirez of La Serna High School who received $1000; Jona-than Reveles, Whittier Christian High School, $500; and Caitlyn Cappadona, St. Joseph High School (Lakewood), $500.

El Camino High School winners were Courtney Morrison ($1000) and Zoraya Silva ($1000).

The remaining winning students are all attending La Mirada High School. They are: Teresa Co ($1000), Phyong-Lien Ngheim ($1000), Megan Hoyarek ($1000), Ramon G Visaiz ($1000), Christy Pflanzer ($1000), Melissa Aceves ($500), Eric Matheny ($500), Nicholas Sanchez-McCormick ($500), and Nicholas Popoy ($500).

For La Mirada High School stu-dents, they will be presented with their prize by Kiwanis, at a tea on the campus Monday June 18th. The time is still yet to be determined.

For the El Camino students, a presentation ceremony will be held Thursday, June 21st.

Mirada knew this was the chance to come back and become victorious. Garcia, Jordan Ostrowski, and Alondra Reyes were exceptional with their bats, bringing in many runs. Herrera was on fire; pitching a shutout game, winning 4-0. And who was the next opponent in the championship? None other than Fountain Valley, the team LM tied with.

La Mirada knew they could beat this team, so putting their best they had out, they battled to the end. Both teams each took the lead, causing the intensity to only grow. Savannah Hof-

man, with her good at bats, walked and helped increase La Mirada’s runs. Victoria Calcanas saved potential hits playing second place with two notable plays. Towards the end of the game, La Mirada was behind. Knowing that a hit- any hit- had the possibility to score a run, the team used the deter-mination they had to finish the game strong. With a hard liner to center field, Madelyn Falcetti brought in two runs, leaving the score 6-4, LM in the lead. This boost of confidence brought a sign of hope into each girl’s eyes. The game was at stake now. The whole championship, the trophy, honor, and glory, was all on the line. Three more outs and the championship was theirs. Fountain Valley wasn’t going down

without a fight either. After a few good hits, the opposing team knocked a few runs in, winning the game, final score being 7-6.

Even if it was second place, the girls from La Mirada never stopped fighting. They wanted this title of first place. The attitude, bats, fielding, and pitching from this tournament showed it. Coaches and family were very proud of the hard work LM showed. They left their hearts on the field; not a single person not feeling proud of their actions on the diamond. La Mirada is only coming back stronger the next tournament, Los Alamitos, ready to battle just like they did here, if not harder.

LMGSA 8u Silver Shows Talent in Mad-ness Tournament

The LMGSA 8U Silver team’s motto is “It’s not how good you are it’s how bad you want it.” The girls demonstrated this determination dur-ing the La Mirada Madness tourna-ment played Memorial Day Weekend. With 3 games ending in International Tiebreakers and all games being played against Gold teams, the 8u Silver held their own and proved that hard work equals results.

The Madness tourna-ment began Friday night for the 8U Silver team against Long Beach’s Gold team. Despite scoring 2 runs in the first inning and an awesome play made by Jacqueline Vasquez, La Mirada Silver lost 3-6.

Saturday morning La Mirada Silver’s hard work began to pay off with a 5-2 win against West Grove Gold. Sa-lem Flores had a strong outing with 5 strike outs in 5 innings. During the game the 8U silver team showed their offensive skills with Gracie Archuleta hitting a double, Flores hitting a single and a double, Allison Conrad hitting a triple and Vasquez getting an RBI to bring in the winning run.

8U Silver advanced to play Pico 8U Gold, which ended in their first

of 3 international tiebreakers. Kara Sands pitched a strong game with Pico only earning 2 runs during the first 4 innings. The score turned in the 5th inning when La Mirada’s Alexa Sams hit a homerun bringing in Archuleta, resulting in a 2-2 tie and forcing the game into an International Tiebreaker. La Mirada held Pico at no runs and moved ahead when Vasquez hit a double to bring in Conrad. Although this was the winning run LM Silver was not done. Alyssa Liskey bunted to bring in Vasquez finishing the game with La Mirada winning 4-2.

Sunday morning La Mirada Silver battled against La Mirada Gold in an exciting game. Silver scored 2 runs in the top of the first inning and held the Gold team with getting out their first 3 batters. In the second inning the Gold team came back when Pantages hit a single, which was followed by Barrow

hitting a homerun. The score remained 2-2 until Silver’s Flores hit a triple in the 4th inning, bringing in Archuleta and Sams. La Mirada Gold came right back and scored 2 runs leading to an International Tiebreaker. La Mirada silver battled but lost in the Tiebreaker 8-4.

La Mirada Silver regained their winning streak in the following game against West Grove. Once again the Silver team made their opponent work with a 6 inning game, the 3rd Inter-national Tiebreaker one of the tourna-ment. 8u Silver was behind 3-1 until

the 5th inning with 2 outs when La Mirada’s Natalie Craig hit a double bringing in the game winning runs. La Mirada Silver pulled out the win in extra innings with a final score of 4-3.

In the final game Sun-day evening against Pico 8U Gold La Mirada held their opponent 1-1 until the 4th inning. Pico Gold scored 2 runs in the 4th leading to a win and La Mirada 8u Silver elimina-tion.

8U La Mirada Silver team showed their soft-ball talents and level of skill during the La Mirada

Madness tournament. The Silver team battled their way through all games played against Gold teams and made each team fight for every run. The 8U La Mirada Silver All Stars are ready for an excitingseason of Softball!

LMGSA 8u Silver played very well in the La Mirada Madness Tour-nament this past Memorial Day weekend.

School to Arturo Sanchez Elementary School in Norwalk.

On the day this interview was con-ducted by Los Cerritos Community News the food preparation staff was busy since sunrise preparing baked chicken (never fried, according to Glenn), mashed potatoes, grapes, a dinner roll as well as a choice of milk (including chocolate) and or fruit juice. In addition to those thousands of lunch meals, a breakfast menu consisting of cold cereal and crackers, or yogurt and crackers, various pre packaged muffins, per purchased sau-sage sandwiches, pan dulce’ (Mexican sweet breads) and other “assorted items.”

“A large percentage of our students would not get to have breakfast if we didn’t provide them with morning meals,” Glenn said. “We live in a fast food world,” she says begrudgingly.

During the same day in which LCCN was preparing for this series on “Why are our kids getting so fat?” the California State Department issued a report on Physical Fitness Test results, that listed schools in Norwalk, Artesia and Hawaiian Gardens as having some of the most out of shape kids in the Golden State.

In the areas of aerobic capac-ity, body composition, abdominal strength, upper body strength, and flexibility, students in NLMUSD and ABCUSD fall well below the pass-ing grades, and some area schools rank near the bottom of the scale for schools here in Los Angeles County.

Childhood obesity is spinning out of control in many areas within the greater Southeast Los Angeles County. Many experts now say the number one issue facing students today is not about getting top grades in Advanced Calculus or being accepted to Harvard or Yale, it’s about seeing if our chil-dren can do five push-ups, pull-ups, or even complete one lap around the school yard track.

Los Angeles County’s top health official Dr. Jonathan Fielding, MD, who is the Director of Public Health said that “the continuing epidemic of childhood obesity is jeopardizing the future health and well being of our children.”

Fielding also said that “childhood obesity is both a national and local crisis.”

He pointed to a recent study that backs up his claim conducted by the Office of Health Assessment and Epi-demiology from LA County that now confirms that one in five of 5th, 7th and 9th graders are now obese, and, the results are even more devastating for those same students in those three grades that were tested in Hawaiian Gardens, Artesia and Norwalk.

According to the study, Hawaiian Gardens, student’s rank 124th out of 128 incorporated municipalities in LA County for obesity prevalence. The children of Norwalk came in 104th in the study and if you’re a 5th, 7th or 9th grader in Norwalk you weighed in at number #80 on the list.

Students in Monrovia, Manhattan Beach, Palos Verdes Estates, Beverly Hills, and San Marino have to most “in shape students” in those three

grade levels. Cerritos students ranked 33 on the list.

The only areas to rank lower than Hawaiian Gardens were the middle grade students in Irwindale, West Car-son and Maywood.

“We need to rethink how we can get our children moving on campus each and every day,” asserted Glenn to Los Cerritos Community News for this series. She also said that parents need to get more actively involved in the diets of their children, learn healthy eating habits, avoid “fast food” places to eat, and to “pull the computer games out of our kids hands, and make them walk for at least 20 minutes each and every day.”

On a national level, more than one-third of adults, (72 million people) and 17% of our children are now obese, according to the Center for Disease Control out of Atlanta.

Alexander Khananshili, a world renowned expert of obesity is now focusing his efforts on behalf of Tri-Cities Medical Center in Hawaiian Gardens. Khananshili, an expert on nutrition is alarmed that during 1980 to 2008 obesity rates doubled for adults and tripled for children. He is especially alarmed with the number of obese children under the age of 18 who live in Hawaiian Gardens.

“It is real simple, obesity is out of control,” he told LCCN in a sit down interview on Thursday.

“It is going to take an all out effort between our local elected city coun-cil members, school board members, school administration and city admin-istrators to declare obesity what it is, out of control,” Khananshili said.

Next: Do our schools contribute to child obesity? Who makes the deci-sions on what is served on our local campuses to our children?

FAMILY AND FRIENDS CELEBRATE CERRITOS RESIDENT'S 90TH BIRTHDAY

Cerritos resident Roger Ryan cele-brated his 90th birthday at his home June 3. He is a 45 year Cerritos

resident having moved to the cit in 1967 and is the original owner of his home on Aclare Street.

To honor his life, a six-stanza song was written by his wife Marian, sung to the tune “You’re a Grand Old Flag.” For example, “You’re a man so grand with the gift of gab,. It must be your Irish heritage. You know everything there is to know. If we ask you you’ll tell us it’s so.”

Nearly 50 birthday party guests includ-ed family, friends, and neighbors, many who have known Roger for 45 years. The celebration theme, and neighbors, many who have known Roger and his wife will be visiting Tanzania in July.

Roger attributes his long life to eating properly and to exercising regularly. He works out at the Swim Center gym and walks his dog twice a day. Roger also likes to hunt and fiash and even trap shoots ev-ery Thursday. Roger and his wife Marian have two children, Tanne and Brooklyn.

“You’re a man so grand with a love for this land and forever and forever your memory shall wave. At 90 years we honor you and wish you more so great.”

Roger Ryan, 90 years young.

2012 SPRING ALL-AREA TEAMS

By Loren [email protected]

This past spring season was one that could have seen the Gahr baseball and Valley Christian softball teams

play for a California Interscholastic Feder-ation-Southern Section divisional champi-onship. The former fell in the Division III semifinals to Bonita while the latter was ousted in the Division IV quarterfinals to Kaiser. The John Glenn baseball and Ar-tesia softball teams had remarkable turn-arounds with new coaches while the Cer-ritos softball team played for a Suburban League championship on the last week of the regular season, only to fall short of that goal.

Co-Players of the Year: A pair of mid-dle infielders share this honor as they were lights out for their respective teams. Valley Christian senior second baseman Shane

Stillwagon led the Crusaders with a .463 average and tied for the team lead with 31 hits and 20 runs. Only a sophomore, Gahr shortstop Jaime Estrada packed some pow-er as his team-leading .462 average will at-test to. Estrada was also tops in hits (37) and runs batted in (30) and was second in runs scored (26) and triples (three). Estrada also led the team with a dozen stolen bases in 12 attempts.

Pitcher of the Year: Dylan Algra capped off his Valley Christian career the way seniors should go out. Algra went 8-2 with a 1.75 earned run average. He struck out 71 batters and went the distance eight times including five in his last six starts. Algra went 7-0 in Olympic League action with six complete games as he guided the Crusaders to the school’s first Olympic League title since 2006. Algra did not lose a game since a Mar. 3 setback to Estancia and his other loss was the season opener on Feb. 25 at Gahr.

Coach of the Year: Jack Brooks, the son of La Mirada legendary head coach Kim Brooks, had to endure a lot of adversity before the first game of the regular season. He had a small team in terms of numbers and the Eagles lost seven of their first nine games and 11 of their first 15. But Brooks guided his team to a 7-4 record down the stretch and the Eagles were a game out of the final automatic playoff spot in the Sub-urban League. Glenn went from 6-19 last season to 11-15 in 2012.

SOFTBALL

FIRST TEAM P-Kelsey Hughes (Valley Christian) P-Jennifer Iseri (Cerritos) C-Samantha Lujan (Norwalk) 1B-Madison Garcia (Valley Christian) 2B-Jazmin Guzman (Norwalk) 3B-Vanessa Sanchez (Valley Christian) SS-Erin Clinton (Cerritos) LF-Madison Lee (Cerritos) CF-Sarah Smith (Cerritos) RF-Madison Wright (Valley Christian) DP-Lilianna Herrera (Cerritos) SECOND TEAM P-Kaylilani Minami (Cerritos) P-Destiny Vasquez (Norwalk) C-Briana Perez (Artesia) 1B-Celeste Gonzalez (Gahr) 2B-Drianna Drulias (Cerritos) 3B-Maya Varela (Gahr) SS-Emily Morrow (Valley Christian) LF-Crystal Cano (Norwalk) CF-Ashley Snyder (Valley Christian) RF-Alex Avila (Cerritos) DP-Kira Ito (Artesia) THIRD TEAM P-McKenzie Goff (Valley Christian)

P-Vanessa Venegas (Norwalk) C-Heather Cameron (Cerritos) 1B-Miki Okazaki (Cerritos) 2B-Leanne Garrels (Valley Christian) 3B-Alyssa Marquez (Cerritos) SS-Deja Portillo (Gahr) LF-Valeria Ortega (John Glenn) CF-Alyssa Nava (Gahr) RF-Bianca Espinoza (Cerritos) DP-Vanessa Montanez (Gahr) HONORABLE MENTION P-Deidra Genera (Gahr) P-Dominique Moran (Artesia) C-Taylor Winters (Valley Christian) 1B-Martha Camacho (Norwalk) 2B-Erica Balboa (Gahr) 3B-Emily Franco (Artesia) SS-Jennifer Vasquez (Norwalk) LF-Viviana Gomez (Norwalk) CF-Dominique Gonzales (Artesia) RF-Crystal Briseno (Artesia) DP-Ilene Vasquez (Norwalk)

Co-Players of the Year: As one player leaves the area with tremendous talent, an-other one showed why she could be among the best for the next three seasons. Cerritos senior center fielder Sarah Smith was again lights out with her bat, leading the Lady Dons with a .493 batting average and 28 runs scored. The Baylor University signee was also tied for the team lead with 35 hits and four home runs. On the other side of town, Valley Christian freshman right field-er Madison Wright helped her team to an Olympic League crown for the second time in three seasons. Wright led the entire area with a .556 average and 40 hits. She was tied for the team lead with 33 runs scored and drove in 20 runs. Wright also had four triples.

Pitcher of the Year: The future of Cerritos High softball was never in doubt with the influx of freshmen this past sea-son, especially with pitcher Jennifer Iseri. The first-year player, who was dazzling as a Cerritos Girls Softball Association All-Star, posted a 12-4 record with a 1.58 earned run average. She struck out 132 batters and had four games of at least 10 strikeouts.

Coach of the Year: Although the team stumbled in Suburban League action, the job that Artesia first-year head coach Jeff Hovis did should send a statement out to the rest of the league that the Pioneers are much better. Hovis coached his team to an 8-17 record, but at one time, Artesia was 7-2 and ranked in the Division II Top 10 poll for the first time in 20 seasons. The eight wins are also the most in about 20 years as well. The Pioneers had not won more than six games in at least the past 15 seasons.

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.

Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the property address or other common designation, if any, shown herein. If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale.

If the sale is set aside for any reason, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the deposit paid. The Purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Mortgagor, the Mortgagee, or the Mortgagee’s Attorney.
