ARTESIA DEDICATES OLD FIRE STATION #30 WITH POMP, MEMORIES By Randy Economy randy@cerritosnews.net

hey gathered to honor real life heroes who helped save countless lives and to dedicate a “little fire station” that will forever serve as a monument for Artesia’s rich past and a symbol for the future. Old Fire Station #30, on the corner of Corby Avenue and 187th Street in the “heart” of Artesia was official dedicated after a massive restoration project that took thousands of volunteer hours to complete as well as an untold amount of tender loving care. With nearly 300 residents, community leaders, county fire department officials, and members of the Artesia Historical Society on hand, Mayor John Lyons oversaw a two hour program that took those gathered down a historical memory lane to recall the “enormous role” Old Fire Station #30 played in the lives of thousands of residents. Mayor John Lyon was beaming with pride and smiles as he recalled the amount of “team work” that went into restoring the fire station. “This was a true labor of love, and today we can all enjoy the value and importance this fire station has played in

Robberies increased, commercial burglaries remained the same, as residential burglaries, vehicle burglaries and vehicle thefts declined. Patrol deputies handled 250 calls for service, down from 295 the week before. The 2012 weekly average in calls for service is now 266. There was one robbery investigated.

The doors are usually protected from street view by a gate, and often not reinforced with a stronger frame and a sturdy deadbolt. Keep this in mind if you have not made any improvements. This is one repair that could save you the dilemma of being victimized. Commercial burglaries remained the same last week at four. Two fitness center lockers were involved where credit cards, wallets, cell phones, and keys were taken. The doors of two closed businesses were breached and computers were missing. The 2012 weekly average in “other structure”/commercial burglaries is 1.6. Vehicle burglaries dropped from nine to four. High-volume commercial parking lots were the locations in two. Four were SUVs. GPS units, a gym bag, clothing, an iPhone, CB radios and a CD player were missing. The 2012 weekly average in vehicle burglaries is 7.7. Visible items within the passenger compartment are vulnerable items to theft. Make sure that the would-be thief cannot look into your vehicle and see anything worth breaking into it to steal. No vehicle thefts were reported last week. The 2012 weekly average in this category is now 3.5.

Barrows calls resident A**hole A**hole! A despicable word when, used towards a person, will likely initiate some kind of negative response. But that is what Cerritos Mayor pro tem Bruce Barrows said to a resident of Cerritos because Barrows disagreed with him during a conversation after the June 4, 2012 council meeting. This statement is in the Cerritos Sheriff’s police report. A report that interviewed the Cerritos resident, Barrows and a witness. Actually the witness reported Barrows called the resident a F***** A**hole. Analyze the statement. What kind of person-who is a public servant no lesswould call a resident-an active resident-

that in public. With witnesses present? Even if you are in a disagreement with someone, calling them an A***hole will increase the chances that things are not going to go well after that. In two witness statements, which includes Barrows, after Barrows called the Cerritos resident an A**hole, the resident said, “at least your wife likes me”. Which is where the incident went awry. Barrows admitted in the report that he “lost control” after the wife statement, pushed the resident on the shoulder and then “walked away”. Yet, the resident and witness both said it went farther than that, with Barrows grabbing the shirt and tie and pushing him against the wall. In the fluff Press Telegram story dated 6/5/12 "Barrows denied allegations by Gray that he had made other physical contact." So there is no question that Barrows

called the resident an A***hole and assaulted him. The only question is the level of assault. Can you imagine what would happen if an LA County Supervisor called a resident an A**hole after a meeting? Can you imagine what would happen if a California Assemblyperson called a resident an A**hole after a meeting? Can you imagine what would happen if a Congressperson called a resident an A**hole after a meeting? And they did this with witnesses? Why is it OK that Barrows did it? Where is the outrage Cerritos? If Cerritos mayor pro tem Barrows can call a Cerritos resident a A**hole for a simple disagreement and then accost that person, what is next? We can all just F***** imagine. The Cerritos Sheriff’s report of the incident can be viewed at loscerritosnrews.net.

didate from keeping his promises.” “That’s true,” he said, “but back in Fruitcake, the candidate tries to explain why he can’t keep his commitment.” He paused for a moment, “but when he doesn’t even try to explain and just keeps silent, it begins to look like he only made the promises just to gain support.” My Friend from Fruitcake had a point. “You know what happens? He asked. “His supporters eventually turn against him and he suddenly finds himself marginalized.” He paused a moment. “His so called new friends are just using him under the guise of harmony. We had that happen a few years ago. A candidate running for the Fruitcake city council promised his supporters he would straighten things out in city hall.” “What happen?” I asked. “He took the easy way out and didn’t do a thing. Nothing changed.” “What did his supporters do? “They turned against him and pulled their support away from him. The next election three seats were open. His former

supporters backed three reformed candidates. When the election was over and new majority took over a he was marginalized. When his term was ended he failed in his bid for re-election. I sat back in my chair, silently going over in my mind what he had just said. “What doe that has to do with Hawaiian Gardens?” I asked. “If you don’t know, I certainly don’t know,” he replied. My Friend from Fruitcake, Florida got up to leave, then sat back down in his chair. “You know, “ he said, “Politics is the same no matter where you live. If you don’t keep your promises or at least try to keep them, you wind up alone. No one will trust your word again. It’s true in Fruitcake and here in California. I think Hawaiian Gardens voters know what is going on. This time my Friend from Fruitcake, Florida got up from his chair and said, “Well, I have to go. I’m having lunch with our friend, “VAL LYNDER, DEFENDER OF ALL THAT IS TRUE.”

filed a “failure to prosecute” procedure last Friday. “The District Attorney will not file charges against Mayor pro tem Bruce Barrows,” Trujillo told LCCN. “The DA will refer the case per policy to a Office Hearing Program. The case will be handled internally and informally in our office,” stressed Trujillo. According to one website, Open Hearing is an administrative hearing that is conducted as an alternative to a misdemeanor criminal prosecution in Los Angeles County. The City Attorney Hearing Program is used as an alternative to criminal prosecution. A hearing officer (not an attorney) conducts this type of administrative hearing and there is no judge or jury present at the hearing. Witnesses for the defendant and or the alleged victim may testi-

fy at the hearing. Evidence presented by either side is considered by the hearing officer. At the end of the hearing, the hearing officer will determine whether to recommend to the City Attorney to proceed with criminal prosecution, dismiss the matter, or the hearing officer could leave the case open for one year before completely closing out the criminal case. Gray and Barrows went head to head in a heated exchange at the Monday June 4 Cerritos City Council Meeting during public comments. Barrows said he was “defending the honor of his wife Teresa.” Gray said the he was a “victim of assault” and that Barrows needs to admit “the truth” to “himself” and “the community.” Cerritos resident Chris Fuentes lashed out at Barrows at the meeting and demanded the

A few days ago, for instance, he walked into the office and asked, “ What’s going on in Hawaiian Garden?” I looked at him and said, “What do you hear?” Not one to beat around the bush, he said, “Back in Fruitcake when a candidate runs for office and makes a commitment to his/her supporters, it’s kept.” “That’s understood,” I replied, “but sometimes circumstances prevents a can-

Also attending were Ann Julian, daughter of Elmer Julian; Richard Willeford, son of Hogan Willeford and Lou Ann Zulawski, daughter of Fred Earl. Applebury referred to Fire Chief Osby as a “rock star” before the event began and Osby said he had “never felt such pride to be part of something that will be a living testimony to fire fighters and a community that has a huge heart.” Also performing at the event was the Artesia DES Band under the direction of Conductor David Costa. After its retirement from Los Angeles County, the building was sold and several other entities including an ambulance service and the former Artesia Chamber of Commerce, utilized the facility. In 2005 the City of Arteisa acquired the building and with restoration funding by both county Supervisor Don Knabe’s office, a major renovation was able to comment. Applebury said that the goal of the restoration was “to return the building to the look and condition it was during the fire service days.” Members of the Artesia Historical Society interviewed and shared their memories of the building which aided Mayor Lyon in achieving “an accurate restoration.” The opening of Old Fire Station #30

H.G. COUNCIL

Continued from page 1 the event they decrease to other city employees. He said the contract may be terminated or canceled at any time by the City or by the Administrator, for any reason or for no reason at all, and may be terminated completely without cause. It also stipulates the Administrator shall not be removed from office during or within a period of 90 days following a municipal election. He said the purpose is to allow newly elected council members to observe the actions and ability of the Administrator’s performance. If he is terminated within the 90-day period he/she shall be paid for that period and the remaining 90 days from the election regardless of whatever time remains on the term of employment. The contract calls for the city to pay directly to the Public Employees Retirement System all payments needed to satisfy the administrator’s contribution to CalPERS. The council also renewed the city’s contract with Howard & Associates to provide human resources and labor negotiation services. The city’s current contract expires June 30. At the same time it named Howard Caldwell acting city administrator when the city administrator is absent. Caldwell receives a flat fee retainer of $4,600 per month. In the event he is asked to serve as acting administrator, he will receive additional compensation of $400 per day covering the City Administrator’s office. AFFCME Union Representative Pete Schinaufer told the council he was disappointed in the council’s naming Howard Caldwell to be acting city administrator when the city administrator is out of town. In the past the council would name department heads to fill the temporary position, giving them experience that would benefit their current position. One union member commented to the LCCN after the council meeting Caldwell would receive $400 per day compared to the department heads that were paid their regular salaries. In other business the council approved the painting of red curbs at the intersections of 221st Street and Arline Avenue, 223rd Street and Horst Avenue, and the Northeast corner of 228 Street. and Arline Avenue. The council also approved a one-year agreement for Helicopter patrol services by and between the city and the Lakewood-Sky Knight Patrol. Councilmember Barry Bruce said right now a deputy in the field could call the helicopter to a site. He would like him to receive approval from a superior instead of call direct. The council agreed with the city administrator saying he would follow trough on the suggestion.

CERRITOS GIRLS SOFTBALL ASSOCIATION ADJUSTING TO TEMPORARY CHANGES By Loren Kopff lorenkopff@aol.com

he writing was somewhat on the wall last summer for the Cerritos Girls Softball Association when it did not field a 14-U division in its own annual tournament. Only two teams had signed up to come to Cerritos and one was its own all-star team. This summer will see the CGSA go through some major changes which president Benito Joaquin hope are just temporary. For starters, the CGSA will not host its own tournament for the first time ever. Last summer, the tournament, which was held June 10-12, fielded a total of 15 teams in three age divisions. In the past, there have been eight teams in four age divi-

sions. Part of that can be attributed to the decision of more and more girls opting to play travel ball instead of recreation ball. Also, the City of Cerritos wouldn’t allow vendors to be on the premises of the Cerritos Sports Complex, something that probably discouraged teams from coming. “It was unfortunate but the positive is we’re taking a year off to just gather up some information and see what we can do to make it a better experience, not only for Cerritos but for all of the other teams coming in,” Joaquin said. Cerritos participated in the Los Alamitos Tournament last weekend when it should have been hosting its own tournament. The CGSA still went to the San Dieguito and La Habra Tournaments again, just as it did last summer and will return to the Chino Hills Tournament this weekend. Joaquin said that the CGSA plans on bringing its

tournament back to Cerritos next summer. But, he also said the numbers are down this summer, more with the older girls. In terms of all-stars, there are 15 returning from the 38 that were in the 8-U,10-U and 12-U divisions last summer. From this summer’s 8-U team, there are two returning all-stars. Six 8-U all-stars moved up to the 10-U team with one returning member while two 10-U all-stars last summer are now 12-U all-stars with another four returning to the same team. “It was a time where we lost some really good girls,” Joaquin said of this summer. “Travel ball is becoming a big thing now, especially with the younger girls. It wasn’t only the 14s; it was also the 10s and 12s. It was not only Cerritos, but a lot of other leagues. A lot of the presidents were complaining about being short in the 14s. We had other leagues that had only one or

two [teams]. It was all across the district.” However, the CGSA is fielding a 6-U all-star team for the first time, which is mostly slow pitch and Joaquin hopes that it will generate more players to come out and advance through the system in the future. The 6-U all-stars will also compete in the Chino Hills Tournament but not in the Amateur Softball Association Los Angeles/ South Bay “B” District Tournament, which will be held in Long Beach June 22-24. Including the ASA “B” state tournament last summer, the four CGSA all-star teams combined to go 52-40-4 with the 10-U allstars capturing the San Dieguito and Chino Hills Tournament championships. “We have some really good 8-U girls and some really good 6-U girls,” Joaquin said. “We’re taking extra efforts to prep them a lot better and get them ready for competitive play, which is all-stars.”

WHITNEY JUMPERS END STRONG AT CIF TRACK AND FIELD CHAMPIONSHIPS On May 19, 2012, Whitney High School sent two of its finest track and field athletes to compete at Mt. San Antonio College for CIF-Southern Section Division 4 Finals. Senior Paley Mao finished 4th with a boys’ school record triple jump of 41’11.5” and sophomore Michaela Platt tied for 7th in the girls’ high jump with a leap of 4’9” as they both ended their high school seasons at CIF Finals. Throughout the season, Mao struggled with a nerve injury in his right hamstring,

but still managed to win 1st place at the 2012 Servite Invitational in the high jump at the beginning of the season. Mao also took home 2012 Academy League Boys Field MVP honors with a 1st place performance in the boys triple jump (40’10.5”) and a runner-up finish in the boys high jump (5’10”). This season, Platt has blossomed into a distinguished jumper after switching her focus from sprinting to jumping. At the 2012 Servite Invitational, Platt won the

girls’ high jump with a then school record of 5’1”. Platt would go on to become the 2012 ABC Unified District Champion in both the girls’ high jump and long jump while setting district records in both events. At the 2012 Ocean View Invitational, Platt took home 1st place in the girls’ high jump and 3rd place in the girls’ long jump. To round off her season before CIF, Platt turned in 1st place performances in high jump (5’3”) and long jump (16’5”) while also finishing 3rd in the triple jump

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Continued from page 4

(for the Fullerton Superior Court in the Small Claims, Civil Harassment, and Unlawful Detainer cases), I shudder to think of the possible repercussions to both individuals and the city of Cerritos from a continuing knockdown and drag-out fight this incident might engender. From my experience with many personal mediation cases and observations of court cases, nothing is made better by continuing a personal dispute in public and the courts. Persons with political ambitions in particular need to stay out of the conflict arena as the public quickly loses faith in anyone who can’t get along with the opposition. There is a saying in mediation, if you wrestle with a pig, both of you get muddy, but the pig enjoys it. Continuing a dispute only causes continued personal anguish, stress, and tarnished reputations. Plus, lawyers are expensive. There is a lesson for all of us in this case. What I’ve observed is that life is fraught with conflict and controversy and

(31’8.75”) at the Academy League Finals. Platt’s high jump mark set a new Academy League record and bettered her own Whitney High School record while her long jump mark broke the previous Whitney High School record. Platt’s successes earned her 2012 Academy League Girls Field MVP honors. Currently, Mao and Platt are training to compete at Junior Olympics in June. Next year, Mao plans to jump for the track and field team at NYU. no one is immune from losing their temper under the right circumstances. The higherorder issue is not who is right, but how to make it right. The only good remedy to personal disputes of this nature is to apologize, forgive, and move on. It is impossible to reconcile with someone until you have forgiven them. Most mediated civil harassment cases are settled in exactly this way, sometimes with more formal ground rules for behaviors. In conflict mediation, the past is seldom discussed, but instead, closure is gained by getting back on the right path. I often suggest that no matter who is more at fault, the bigger person should apologize first as an initial step toward reconciliation and normalization of civility. After some venting, soul searching, and time to calm down, over 90% of the mediated cases settle with a handshake. If both gentlemen involved in this dispute apologize and forgive, I would consider them both to be the bigger man. The ideal solution is always for the parties in a dispute to remember to be hard on the issues but soft on the people. Life’s too short to carry a grudge. Chuck Sooter

Hawaiian Gardens Awards $44,000 in Scholarships

he City of Hawaiian Gardens awarded $44,000 in higher education scholarships to aspiring Hawaiian Gardens youth and adults. A keystone priority of City leaders, the City annually presents scholarship awards to determined and financially-challenged residents in their pursuit of improving the lives of City youth and families. The Scholarship Awards Dinner ceremony took place on June 9 at the C. Robert Lee Activity Center, located at 21815 Pioneer Blvd. in Hawaiian Gardens. This year’s candidates were presented awards under three different scholarship programs; the “Youth Scholarship Program” for graduating high school seniors, the “Adult Scholarship Program” for adults attending school or desiring to return to school, and the “Miss Hawaiian Gardens Scholarship Program” for ladies 18-25 years of age desiring to represent the City at important civic events. “The City is so proud to recognize and award these residents for their hard work and determination to advance their education and improve their lives,” said Hawaiian Gardens Mayor Mike Gomez. “The betterment of our community starts with our youth and families, and being able to

support these special youth and adults with $44,000 in educational funding is a special honor, especially in these tough economic times.” The scholarship awards program in the City is among the most coveted awards by aspiring City youth and adults. The highly successful program received a total of 75 applications for this year’s scholarship opportunities, representing a 74% increase in applications from last year. To be considered for awards, candidate attributes taken into consideration include, grade point average, past civic participation, demonstrated financial need, poise, positive attitude, networking skills and professional appearance. This year’s group of candidates includes aspiring doctors, attorneys, designers, psychologists, educators, auto mechanics, engineers, biologists, law enforcement and business professionals. Past recipients have gone on to professions such as authors, professional athletes, law enforcement professionals, nurse practitioners, city administrators and educators. They are either planning to or are already attending universities, community colleges or vocational schools, including California State University, Long Beach, California State University, Los Angeles, University of California at Irvine, University of California at Santa Barbara, University of Indiana, Cerritos College, Cypress College and Golden West College, to name a few. The City awarded $44,500 to its residents last year, a significant contribution and reflection of its priority on the educa-

Notice to Potential Bidders If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a Trustee auction. 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 auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, 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 information about Trustee Sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call telephone number for information regarding the Trustee's Sale or visit the Internet Web site address on the previous page for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, CA09006962-11-1. 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.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. 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 auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contact¬ing 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.

Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not imme¬diately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postpone¬ment information is to attend the scheduled 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 Trustee.
