Gilroy Garlic Festival keeps on growing along with world-wide visitors By Jerry Bernstein The Gilroy Garlic Festival first opened its doors in 1979 to celebrate the end of the harvesting of the Gilroy garlic crop. ToTo day it has grown with this year hosting 97,766 visitors comcom pared to last year’s 108,000. However, revenues were up about seven percent from last year. Festival President Greg Bozzo said. "I think this festival is bigger than garlic and it has to do with the people and their know how," he said in a short celebratory speech to festival organizers after the last visitor left the park Sunday night. "That's what's unique to our festival that's nowhere else in the world." The festival is basically organized and

run by local volunteers. Money raised goes to local charities designated by the volunteers. Dollars raised by local charities since 1979 total $8,525,322. This writer has been going to the Gilroy Garlic Festival for the last 12 years when my cousin insisted I go with her and son Bernard. My initial response was, “Who wants to go to a Gar Garlic Festival? However, they talked me into going and have I returned each year since. Last year Bernard, my 16 year old granddaughter and myself drove to Gilroy in Bernard’s new Corolla. We saved on gasoline but this year we drove in my 1998 Oldsmobile, which got 28 mpg.

By Larry Caballero Bob and Mary Buell have owned B & B Stables in Cerritos for 47 years and hosted the 6th Annual National Day of the American Cowboy on Saturday, July 24 at the B & B Stables to raise funds for scholarships for families who cannot afford the cost of its Ride Your Horse Therapeutic Program. Last year the funds were used for a horse trailer that can cost up to $10,000. With the trailer, it was possible to transport horses to state shows and the Special Olympics. In 2006, Instructor Darlene Harman started the therapeutic riding program to provide quality equine-assisted activities to persons with disabilities and encourage self-growth through physical, cognitive, social, emotional and educational benefits. The Alex Beanum Arena for Therapeutic Riding was dedicated in 2008. The countrywide celebration honoring our cowboy and western heritage included pony and horse rides, vendors, crafts, and artist booths, a kids corral, photos with horses, breakfast and lunch,

Guests were ridden to the Casino entrance by a horse and wagon, and once registered, more than 200 guests could purchase drink tickets that were good at the bar for water, soda or alcohol, and a 100 dollar chip for gambling at the craps, blackjack or [See STABLES Page 8]

Cerritos posts residential color palette on city’s website By Jerry Bernstein The Cerritos City Council approved the placing of the city’s residential color palette on the City’s website at its July 22 meeting. Current Planning Manager Robert Lopez said in his report the placing of the palette on the website should make the process of selecting paint colors and obtaining a paint color permit easier for homeowners. Under a 2004 amendment to the city code, a free city-approved paint color permit is required prior to the painting home exteriors in order to maintain the attractive and compatible appearance of Cerritos neighborhoods. In addition to showcasing the colors for home exteriors, the new web page contains an interactive tool that allows residents to create and evaluate custom color combinations. The on-line residential color palette is available on the City’s website at www.cerritos.us and can be accessed through the I Want To... and Resident sections. The on-line color palette includes pull-down color menus. It is organized

by color family and displayed according to specific design features (stucco, siding, trim and accents). There are more than 500 colors in the palette, which can be combined to create 400,000 distinct color combinations. As color displays vary between computers, monitors and printers, the on-line display is offered as a general guide for the types of colors available in the approved color palette. After making color selections, residents can click on the “Print My Palette” button. A new window appears, providing instructions on the next steps [See COLOR Page 9]

The Rotary Club of Artesia/Cerritos welcomed students from the ABC Unified School District who visited Japan. The program is sponsored by the ABC Unified School District with strong support from our Rotary Club. Seven students visited Kakamigahara in Central Japan. Both the school district and Rotary Club have very strong ties with this area in Japan. Several students each year spend up to 10 days visiting other students in Japan, attend their school, learn about Japanese culture, and even stay in the homes of host families. The students also do sightseeing in a major metropolitan area such as Tokyo. The trip this year was from June

26 to July 5th. The students who went were Kemi Jhun, Van Ahn Tran, Veronica Williams, Joana Acorda, Nathaniel Taniguchi, Jessica Kanemaru, and Alma Luquin. Mrs. Susan Wu, a teacher at Gahr High School, escorted them. On Monday, July 19th, each of the students and Mrs. Wu visited the Rotary Club to report about their trip, show all their pictures, and thank those involved for making such a wonderful experience possible. Parents, other ABC officials, and many club members were in attendance. For more information on the Rotary, contact Dr. Steve Sherman at 562 926-1097.

Cerritos needs to look into this

More than 2,200 softball players, their parents, siblings, and friends invaded the Antelope Valley for the latest tournament brought in by Valley local cities to use municipal sports fields and help boost business at local hotels and eateries. Cerritos and surrounding cities (Artesia) need to look into this. Coming as far away as San Diego (this was a “B” tournament), some 150 teams are playing at ball fields around the area. They also are filling up shopping center parking lots with minivans and SUV’s, windows covered with names and cities from which they came, and shopping. Based on prior years, a tournament of this size is expected to bring an estimated $975,000 in economic impact to the area. Games are going on at 11 fields in the area with six age groups participating: 8 and under, 10 and under, 12 and under, 14 and under, 16 and under and 18 and under. Each division will hold its’ championship game on that Sunday with the winners going to the ASA National Championships in August. We have 5 fields at the Regional Park, another four in Artesia and with the new fields at Fedde there will be two more. More than enough to host a large tournament. Cerritos should take the lead on this and attempt to land a tournament here in the area. We have several very good local girl’s teams-as some of you have seen in this paper-going to different State and

National tournaments in August. (See page 10). Our local area boasted the ASA 18 and under National Champion a few years ago-the Artesia Punishers. Seems odd that our area had a national champion and we have no tournaments. Parks and Recreation Commission and Department should investigate, or they can see it first-hand just down the 5 freeway next year; the city of Irvine just secured the 2011 ASA Girl’s GOLD National Championship next August.

On to politics….

$enate Republican$

block political di$clo$ure bill All 41 Senate Republicans this past week blocked a vote on a bill that would force special interest groups to disclose their donors when purchasing political ads, defeating a effort to impose new campaign finance regulations before the November election. The bill passed in the House. With that vote, they are obviously picking sides. According to some it is the right side based on the statement that the bill was “a politically motivated attempt to curb free speech rights”. The legislation is in response to the Supreme Court's ruling of Citizen’s United that Companies, Unions, and front groups can spend millions without restraint. The Senate bill would force issue groups to reveal their donors as well as require CEO’s to record messages saying they stand by the ad. The act would also bar government contractors, foreign controlled corpora-

Sánchez statement on federal ruling on Arizona Law

Congresswoman Linda Sánchez (D-CA) issued the following statement regarding U.S. District Judge Susan Bolton’s decision granting a preliminary injunction against Arizona’s law, SB 1070: “The Court’s decision today underscores the bottom line -- it is the federal government’s responsibility to set immigration policy. “There is simply no way you can tell immigration status just by looking at someone. Policies requiring police officers to engage in racial profiling and compelling citizens and legal residents to carry papers with them at all times are the wrong response to solve our broken immigration system. “I applaud the decision and look forward to getting back on track with immigration reform that is principled and pragmatic.”

MIND, BODY, SPIRIT Dr. Urban on Today’s Dentistry

The Hollywood smile Have you ever looked in the mirror and wondered why your teeth aren’t as straight and bright as your favorite beautiful or gorgeous Hollywood actors? If not, then stop reading. For the rest us let me explain what goes into a great looking set of teeth and smile. First, it starts when your parents take you to the dentist and orthodontist. Most bad bites and crooked teeth can be corrected with braces in two to three years. Take off the braces and bleach the teeth and Voila! You have a Hollywood smile. Second (if you skipped the first step as a child), talk to your dentist about your smile. There are many types of beautiful smiles. They all have harmony and symmetry. Your dentist will evaluate your smile for lip line, tooth size, gum line, and color to develop an appropriate plan of action. Plans may include braces, bleaching, veneers, crowns, and cosmetic oral surgery. I have many adults that have opted for braces. Yes, this takes a little longer, but it is often necessary for very badly positioned teeth. If the teeth are not too bad orthodontists can use the Invisalign clear tray method. Even with orthodontic correction your teeth may still be dark and worn. Bleaching may be all that is needed. I use the “Sapphire” one-hour professional whitening.

ly. Take home tray bleaches are great and a little less expensive. The advantage is that you can bleach on your own quiet time and give yourself an occasional “booster” treatment when the teeth start returning to the original shade. Veneers are thin porcelain shells that cover the front of the teeth. I try not to permanently alter healthy teeth for cosmetic work (sorry-it’s just me) so I use Lumineer veneers wherever justified. These are really thin (.3mm-.5mm) porcelain shells and are placed without the use of shots. I like them so much I have placed them on my staff and family to fill out the smile line and to permanently brighten teeth. Occasionally I must do a minor reduction of the tooth if it sticks out too far. The first veneers that were developed are thicker and require drilling back on the tooth to compensate for the added thickness. When Lumineers cannot achieve your Hollywood smile many dentists are using ceramic fused to ceramic crowns. These crowns are brilliant and strong. They are more expensive than the old porcelain fused to metal crowns, but you will not get that dark line you see at the gum line when the tissues eventually shrink back. Finally, oral cosmetic surgery may be required to correct gummy smiles and high lip lines. So, if you want that “Hollywood Smile” a consultation with a dentist experienced in Cosmetic Dentistry might just start you on the road to the smile of your dreams!

Depression- There is Hope Feeling blue is not a normal part of aging. Many older Americans think that feeling depressed is just part of growing older. They believe sadness, irritability, aches and pains, and feelings of hopelessness just come with age. However, these feelings are not a normal part of the aging process. In fact, such symptoms can be a sign of depression.

a dream come true. I cannot imagine not being involved with this program in some capacity in future years.” Harman works with more than 40 students ages 3 to 76 in 7 week sessions in the year round program. She works closely with the outpatient program at Rancho Los Amigos Rehabilitation Hospital in Downey. The Therapeutic Riding Program’s motto is “Let the warmth of a horse carry you to your dreams.” It offers activities to persons with a wide range of disabilities such as autism, ADD, ADHD, cerebral palsy, Down Syndrome, Rhetts Syndrome, visual and hearing impairments, and social, emotional and behavioral disorders. Group lessons, private lessons, seasonal clinics and educational workshops are provided. Harman does not want to offer a program with more than 100-150 riders because she fears that the personal connection with the instructor and rider will be lost. “They need to make new friends and not feel overwhelmed with a lot of people at one time. I know this is where I was meant to be. If I weren’t here, I would feel like I was letting a lot of people down.” None of the volunteers are paid, and all of the money received goes back into the program. “There’s rarely enough money for all of the needs we have which include special food for the older horses, veterinarian bills and materials and supplies,” said Harman. The horse has been known for centuries as a powerful therapeutic tool. Caring for horses and riding them can assist muscles to strengthen and stretch, enhance circulation and offer the opportunity to be in control of one’s own mobility.

Lopez said the City’s exterior paint color ordinance helps protect property values and the park-like look of Cerritos. Before buying paint or hiring a contractor, homeowners must obtain a paint color permit at City Hall. There is no fee charged for the permit. Prior to issuing the permit, staff will assist the homeowner in conducting a quick check to make sure the proposed colors will fit well with Cerritos neighborhoods. Samples of the 500 colors in the City’s approved palette are available for residents to review at City Hall. Residents can also pick up paint samples for their choice of exterior and trim colors at a local hardware or paint store. They can

then bring the paint color samples to the Community Development counter on City Hall’s second floor between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. A City planner will review the choices and compare the colors against the City’s approved exterior paint color palette. Homeowners who need ideas or help choosing a color may also review the color palette at the Community Development counter. The palette provides color combinations most suitable for residential properties and was prepared by a professional color consultant. To best determine how a paint color will look on a home, it is suggested that residents purchase a quart of the paint and apply it to an area of their home.

Avila was the 2010 Los Cerritos Community News Pitcher of the Year while she, Adler, Koenig and Rico were recently named to the Long Beach Press-Telegram’s Dream Team. The team just capped off a 7-0 performance in the Surf City Showcase and has gone 13-10 in major tournaments this summer. The Punishers had to play in two national qualifiers in order to advance to the Western National Tournament. Bott, Bri Dupuy and Michelle Rivas are swinging hot bats of late according to Mark Dupuy. “I think we’re definitely peaking,” he said. “I think we’re really going to give it a really good shot at Western’s. Again, it’s all chemistry. The addition of Liz as another pitcher just solidifies our pitching rotation.”

While the hitting heated up late in the Surf City Showcase, head coach Michelle Medina stated another part of the team needs to have a stronger showing in the heat and humidity in the Brazos Valley of southeast Texas. “Pitching,” she said. “If our pitchers can handle it, we’ll win. We have the defense and we have the offense. But it’s really pitching.” Medina is no stranger to the Bryan/ College Station area as she observed her father’s initial games back in 2007 when the 18-Under squad brought home a first place trophy. Last summer, Medina’s 16-Under team, along with Tim Rivera’s 16-Under team, went to the Western Nationals in Phoenix. In 2008, Medina managed the 14-Under team in the Western Nationals in Clovis.

Mario Alvarado takes this first-year team to the Rocky Mountain state. This is one of three 14-Under teams in the Punisher family, the most ever at this age group and one of two going to Western Nationals. They qualified just by playing in the state tournament in Lancaster. Martinez will be a sophomore at Bellflower High School and is the leader of the pitching staff. The only other current high schooler is Zeronian, who is attending Marshall Fundamental. The rest of the team will be incoming freshmen. The leading hitter is Garcia. Alvarado stated that his team could have played in major tournaments from nonASA organizations. “We could be more competitive if we go to Western Nationals,” he said. “You’re not going to see the same competitiveness outside of ASA. A lot of teams shy away from ASA.” 14-Under

MENDOZA TO HOLD “HOW TO PREVENT FORECLOSURE” WORKSHOP Norwalk Sports Complex Norwalk Cultural Arts Center 3200 Clarkdale Avenue Norwalk, CA NORWALK, CA - In an effort to prevent more people from losing their homes, Assemblymember Tony Mendoza (D-Norwalk) will join forces with state agencies and non-profit credit organizations to host a foreclosure prevention workshop on Thursday, Aug. 12, 2010. “People should not have to walk away from their homes because they are not informed of the options available to them,” said Assemblymember Mendoza. “People in danger of falling behind on their mortgages, or those who are already delinquent should know what's ahead. The faster people move, the more choices they will have about their financial future.” Assemblymember Tony Mendoza, a former teacher and current vice-chair of the California Latino Legislative Caucus, represents the communities of Artesia, Hawaiian Gardens, Cerritos, Buena Park, Norwalk, Santa Fe Springs, Lakewood, Los Nietos and South Whittier and Whittier.

FLUORIDATION OF YOUR WATER SUPPLY The purpose of this notice is to inform you that Park Water Company (Park), your water provider, will soon put into operation groundwater well fluoridation facilities. As a consumer you will be receiving water that is optimally fluoridated for your dental health. To meet the - demands -of its -customers, Park utilizes a mixture of purchased water and pumped groundwater supplies. Park's purchased water supplies are already fluoridated by their supplier, the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California. In 2009, through funding from First 5 LA Commission, Park installed fluoridation facilities at their groundwater wells. These installations will allow Park to provide its customers with optimally fluoridated water supply at levels that range from 0.7 to 0.8 parts per million. It should be noted that the naturally occurring fluoride levels in Park's wells range from 0.1 to 0.4 parts per million. According to the Dental Health Foundation, California's children experience TWICE the amount of tooth decay as their counterparts nationwide. One way to address this issue is through fluoridation of the public water supply systems. Fluoride is nature's cavity fighter. Drinking optimally fluoridated water has reduced tooth decay by about 60% in the United States since World War II. Fluoride helps fight cavities by strengthening tooth enamel so teeth become more resistant to decay, particularly in children prenatal stage through age five. Also, according to the American Dental Association, "Of the thousands of credible scientific studies on fluoridation, none has shown health problems associated with the consumption of optimally fluoridated water." After careful consideration of all reputable sources, Park believes that optimally fluoridating their water supply will provide their consumers with a valuable health benefit at minimal cost. Park always welcomes your questions. For more information, please consider the following resources: • American Dental Association at 312-440-2500 or www.ada.org/public/topics/fluoride/news.asp • California Department of Public Health at (916) 558-1784 or www. cdph.ca.gov/certlic/drinkingwater/Pages/ Fluoridation • Park Water Company at 562.923.0711 or www.parkwater.com Funded partially without endorsement by First 5 LA

Agencies, Organizations, and Interested Parties

SUBJECT:

Notice of Availability of the City of Artesia General Plan Update Draft Program Environmental Impact Report (SCH# 201008011004)

The City of Artesia, as lead agency, hereby gives notice that pursuant to the authority and criteria contained in the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the CEQA Guidelines, the City of Artesia has prepared and completed the Draft Program Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the proposed City of Artesia General Plan Update Project. AGENCIES: The City requests your agency’s views on the scope and content of the environmental information relevant to your agency’s statutory responsibilities in connection with the proposed Project, in accordance with California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Section 15082(b). Your agency will need to use the Program Draft EIR prepared by the City when considering any permits that your agency must issue or for any other approval for the Project. ORGANIZATIONS AND INTERESTED PARTIES: The City requests your comments and concerns regarding the environmental issues associated with construction and operation of the proposed Project. PROJECT TITLE: City of Artesia General Plan Update PROJECT LOCATION: The City of Artesia is located in southeast Los Angeles County, 19 miles southeast of the City of Los Angeles, and 10 miles northwest of the City of Anaheim, California. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The City of Artesia has prepared a Draft Program EIR to evaluate the environmental impacts resulting from implementation of the proposed General Plan Update. The General Plan Update will include the following State mandated and optional elements: Community Development and Design Element (Land Use, Housing, Circulation, Community Facilities and Infrastructure); Community Resources and Wellness Element (Air Quality and Climate Change, Open Space and Conservation, Community Safety, and Noise); Community Culture and Economy Element (Cultural and Historic Resources, and Economic Development); and Sustainability Element. The Draft EIR evaluates potential environmental impacts resulting from various revisions to the City’s General Plan, including the following among others: update of General Plan development projections to the year 2030; update of the Land Use Element, including the establishment of building intensities for all non-residential (commercial, industrial, and institutional) land use categories; addition of a Community Culture and Economy Element; addition of a Sustainability Element; the creation of geographically-defined land use categories (i.e., Pioneer Boulevard Commercial, Gateway Community Commercial, South Street Commercial, and Norwalk Boulevard Commercial), and a mixed-use land use category (City Center Mixed-Use); and amendments to the remaining General Plan Elements to reflect the changes listed above. The Draft Program EIR examines the potential impacts generated by the proposed General Plan in relation to the following categories: Aesthetics and Light/Glare; Air Quality and Greenhouse Gas Emissions: Cultural Resources; Geology and Soils; Hazards and Hazardous Materials; Hydrology and Water Quality; Land Use and Planning; Noise; Population, Housing, and Growth; Public Services/Parks and Recreation; Traffic and Circulation; and Utilities and Service Systems. In addition, the Draft Program EIR recommends General Plan Policies and Actions Programs, and mitigation measures to reduce project impacts to less than significant levels, where feasible.

The General Plan assumes a planning horizon of 2030. The General Plan Update would increase the City’s existing housing inventory by 338 dwelling units and non-residential floor area by approximately 416,017 square feet. The General Plan Update proposes land uses that would generate a population increase of approximately 1,253 persons and an employment increase of approximately 1,069 jobs. At buildout in 2030, the City’s housing stock is forecast to total 4,948 dwelling units, with a resultant population of approximately 18,347 persons. Additionally, approximately 2,926,709 square feet of non-residential uses (i.e., commercial, office, institutional, and light industrial) are anticipated at buildout, with a resultant employment of approximately 6,079 jobs. PUBLIC REVIEW PERIOD: The City has made this Draft Program EIR available for public review and comment pursuant to California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Section 15082(b). Your response must be sent as soon as possible but not later than 45 days after receipt of this notice. All comments must be submitted in writing to the address noted below. The comment period during which the City will receive comments on the Draft Program EIR is: Starting Date: Thursday, July 29, 2010
