Southern California faces new pressure as Lake Mead falls to 27% capacity, Lake Powell drops to 22%; deeper cut possible if drought persists.

Southern California cities rely on Colorado River water imported through pipelines and aqueducts. If drought continues, cuts could be as high as 40% among California, Arizona, and Nevada. That means higher costs and tighter supplies for the water millions of us depend on. By Brian Hews A federal order requiring California to reduce its use of Colorado River water by approximately 12% is putting renewed attention on something Southern California cities have been confronting for years: the cost and vulnerability of relying on imported water. The Colorado River is one of the major sources of imported water serving Southern California. Water travels hundreds of miles

through the Colorado River Aqueduct before entering a regional system that supplies communities throughout Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside and San Diego counties. For communities with access to groundwater, the shrinking Colorado River also illustrates why maintaining local wells, pumps, treatment facilities, reservoirs and pipelines has become increasingly important. Every gallon that can be reliably produced locally is a gallon that does not necessarily

have to be replaced with increasingly expensive and constrained imported supplies. The new federal action comes as the Colorado River’s two massive reservoirs have fallen to extraordinary levels. Lake Mead is just 27% full, while Lake Powell has dropped to approximately 22% of capacity. California, Arizona and Nevada have agreed to collectively reduce their Colorado River withdrawals by approximately 3.2 million acre-feet through the end of

DOWNEY APPROVES $8 MILLION PFAS WATER-TREATMENT CONTRACT $8.04 million Tetra Tech agreement advances design for treatment of two contaminated groundwater wells. By Vincent Medina The Downey City Council on Tuesday approved an $8.04 million professional services agreement with Tetra Tech Inc. to design major water-treatment improvements aimed at removing PFAS contaminants from the city’s groundwater supply. The agreement is part of Downey’s systemwide PFAS treatment program and calls for the development of two regional treatment facilities serving city groundwater wells. Tetra Tech has worked with Downey since 2020 to evaluate PFAS contamination and develop the treatment strategy, which is now moving into the design phase. An earli-

er citywide study examined 18 Downey wells affected by PFOS and PFOA with a combined capacity of approximately 13,900 gallons per minute. The study evaluated water quality, well pumps, centralized treatment alternatives, pipelines and treatment technologies including ion exchange and granular activated carbon. It also developed capital, operating and life-cycle cost estimates and examined potential future treatment for 1,4-dioxane. Tetra Tech’s proposal describes the current project as implementation of two regional PFAS treatment facilities intended to provide Downey with a reliable long-term groundwater supply while protecting drink-

ABC UNIFIED — Nearly eight years after voters approved a $258 million school construction bond, ABC Unified School District is preparing to borrow the final $64.5 million — a transaction currently projected to require approximately $119.6 million in principal and interest payments over its life. The ABC Unified Board of Education is scheduled to consider authorizing the Series D general obligation bonds at its Aug. 18 meeting, completing the district’s Measure BB borrowing program. Voters approved Measure BB in November 2018 with more

than the required 55% support, authorizing the district to issue up to $258 million in bonds for construction, modernization and improvements at district schools. Rather than borrowing the entire $258 million at once, ABC divided the authorization into four equal $64.5 million bond issues. Series A was issued in July 2019, Series B in October 2022 and Series C in September 2024. Together, those three issues accounted for $193.5 million of the voter-approved authorization. Series D would bring the district to the full $258 million authorized by voters. $64.5 Million Borrowed, Nearly $120 Million Repaid Preliminary financing documents included in the Aug. 18 board agenda provide taxpayers with a detailed look at how the final borrowing is expected to work.

LongHorn Steakhouse Coming to Los Cerritos Center By Brian Hews CERRITOS — A highly visible portion of the Los Cerritos Center parking lot along South Street will be transformed into a new LongHorn Steakhouse after the Cerritos City Council approved plans for a 5,780-square-foot standalone restaurant next to Macy’s. The restaurant will be built near one of the shopping center’s major entrances, placing LongHorn prominently in view of motorists approaching the mall along South Street and from the nearby San Gabriel River Freeway. The City Council approved Tentative Parcel Map No. 84520 and Precise Plan 2026-7 on Aug. 24, following a 4-0 recommendation from the Cerritos Planning Commission earlier this month. The applicant, UGM Development LLC, acting on behalf of LongHorn Steakhouse, will subdivide the existing approximately 11-acre Macy’s property at 500 Los

Cerritos Mall into two parcels. Approximately 0.91 acres will become the new restaurant property, with Macy’s remaining on the larger parcel. The project includes considerably more than construction of the restaurant. Macy’s will receive façade improvements and a new lighter exterior color scheme, while the surrounding property will get new landscaping, trees, parking improvements and pedestrian upgrades. LongHorn will feature an earth-tone exterior with stone accents and new landscaping. Plans call for desert willow and crape

myrtle trees around the restaurant, along with flowering shrubs, groundcover and decorative landscape boulders. Many of the existing mature trees and date palms around the Macy’s property will remain. The development will replace a portion of the expansive surface parking area that currently fronts South Street, giving the restaurant a prominent location at the edge of the shopping center. Despite removing parking spaces for the development, Los Cerritos Center will continue to have substantially more parking than required by the city. The center currently has 5,907 spaces. The project will eliminate 85 spaces, leaving 5,822, compared with 5,327 required under city standards. City officials said the new restaurant will also increase the shopping center’s ability to generate sales-tax revenue for Cerritos. Traffic consultants reviewing the proposal determined the project would not create significant traffic or vehicle-miles-traveled impacts. The city determined the project is categorically exempt from further review under the California Environmental Quality Act. LongHorn Steakhouse is part of Darden

Restaurants and specializes in steaks and other American steakhouse fare. The Cerritos restaurant will add another major dining brand to the Los Cerritos Center property as the shopping center continues to redevelop portions of its large parking areas and former department-store properties. The project follows another major change underway at the mall. Cerritos previously approved plans for a 141,630-square-foot DICK’S House of Sport development on the former Sears property, part of a broader effort to introduce new uses and attractions at Los Cerritos Center. Mayor Lynda Provido Johnson welcomed the LongHorn project following the Council’s approval. Construction of the new restaurant is anticipated to begin in spring 2027, with an opening potentially occurring in early 2028. Once completed, the project will give motorists traveling along South Street a substantially different view of the Macy’s side of Los Cerritos Center, with a new freestanding restaurant, refreshed department-store façade and new landscaping replacing a portion of the existing parking field.

The city said the candidates are listed in the order in which their names will appear on the ballot. La Palma uses a by-district election system, meaning voters cast ballots only for the City Council candidate seeking to represent the district in which they live. Unlike an at-large election, residents do not vote on every council seat appearing in an election. The two races will determine representation for a significant portion of the city on the five-member council, which sets municipal policy, approves the city budget and makes decisions involving public safety, development, infrastructure and other city services. With the candidate field now finalized, the campaigns will move into the fall election season as candidates introduce themselves to voters and outline their priorities for the city. Residents who are uncertain which district they live in can use the city’s district information to determine whether they reside in District 2 or District 4. The General Municipal Election will be held Tuesday, Nov. 3.

Four Home-Invasion Robbery Suspects Captured After Massive Artesia Manhunt Three suspects were quickly detained after fleeing a vehicle, while a fourth hid near the 91 Freeway, triggering an extensive air-and-K9 search. By Brian Hews ARTESIA — Four suspected home-invasion robbers were taken into custody Thursday following a pursuit and nearly two-hour manhunt that ended near the 91 Freeway and Pioneer Boulevard in Artesia. The incident began at approximately 10:30 a.m. when Los Angeles Police Department officers were tracking four suspects believed to be connected to multiple home-invasion robberies across Los Angeles County. The group allegedly committed another home-invasion robbery in the 1700 block of Jersey Avenue in Artesia before officers attempted to stop their vehicle. The suspects eventually stopped

Norwalk, Sheriff’s Deputies Stop Planned Five Points Street Takeover Public Safety officials spotted about 50 vehicles and more than 200 people gathering shortly after midnight before they could take control of the busy intersection. LCCN Staff Report NORWALK — A planned street takeover involving approximately 50 vehicles and more than 200 people was stopped early Monday morning after Norwalk Public Safety personnel spotted the gathering and alerted Los Angeles County Sheriff’s deputies before participants could take over the Five Points intersection. At approximately midnight Aug. 24, city Public Safety personnel monitoring the area observed vehicles and people beginning to assemble at Five Points, the busy intersection where Pioneer Boulevard, Rosecrans Avenue and San Antonio Drive converge. Public Safety personnel contacted the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department before the group could fully occupy the intersection. Deputies responded, preventing the planned takeover from getting under-

at a gas station and fled on foot. Three were quickly taken into custody, but a fourth escaped, prompting authorities to establish a large perimeter and launch an extensive search. An LAPD helicopter joined the operation along with a K9 unit as officers searched the area around the 91 Freeway and Pioneer Boulevard. The operation also resulted in freeway closures and school lockdowns in the surrounding area as authorities searched for the remaining suspect. After an hourslong search, officers located the fourth suspect hiding in brush near the freeway and took him into custody. All four suspects were ultimately arrested. Authorities had not immediately released the suspects’ names or detailed the specific home-invasion cases to which they may be connected. The arrests brought a dramatic end to a major law-enforcement operation involving officers on the ground, a police helicopter and K9 teams searching through the Artesia area. The investigation into the suspected robbery crew and whether its members are connected to additional home invasions remains ongoing.

ABCUSD Trustee McHatton Holds Election Kick-Off Event

tinue confronting illegal street takeovers, which can draw large crowds and involve drivers performing burnouts, doughnuts and other dangerous maneuvers in public intersections. Norwalk has adopted particularly stiff penalties aimed not only at drivers participating in takeovers but also at the crowds that gather to watch them. Under Chapter 9.30 of the Norwalk Municipal Code, spectators can be cited even when they are present while preparations for an illegal street takeover are underway. City administrative fines begin at $2,000 and can increase to $5,000 for repeat violations. Vehicles involved in illegal takeover activity can also be subject to seizure and forfeiture. Norwalk officials said Public Safety personnel will continue monitoring locations for potential street takeover activity and coordinating with the Sheriff’s Department when gatherings are detected. Residents with information about planned or previous street takeovers can contact the Norwalk Sheriff’s Station at 562-863-8711, Norwalk Public Safety at 562-929-5732 or Los Angeles Regional Crime Stoppers at 800-222-TIPS (8477).

LCCN Staff Report LOS ANGELES — Los Angeles County will train emergency room physicians at five private hospitals, including UCI Health in Lakewood, to initiate 5150 psychiatric holds in an effort to free County mental health crisis teams to respond to emergencies in the community. The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors approved the pilot program Tuesday through a motion by Supervisor Janice Hahn, co-authored by Supervisor Lindsey P. Horvath. The program is designed to address a significant demand on the County’s Psychiatric Mobile Response Teams, which currently spend an average of 1,100 hours each month responding to private hospitals to conduct 5150 evaluations. A 5150 hold allows an authorized professional to involuntarily detain a person for psychiatric evaluation for up to 72 hours when the individual meets certain legal criteria, including posing a danger to themselves or others. County hospitals have long had personnel authorized to initiate the holds. However, many private hospitals have had to call County crisis teams and wait for them to conduct the evaluation. At least 35 private hospitals in Los Angeles County currently do not have physicians authorized under the Lanterman-Petris-Short Act to initiate 5150 holds. A state law enacted in 2025, Assembly Bill 416, opened the door for emergency room physicians at private hospitals to become LPS-authorized and conduct the evaluations themselves. “Every hour our crisis teams spend inside an emergency room is an hour they aren’t out in the community responding to someone who is having a mental health emergency in their home or on the street,” Hahn said. “We have built up a strong alternative crisis response system, and now we need to make sure we are using those resources as effectively as possible,” Hahn said. “If a patient is already in an emergency room, we should empower trained ER doctors to evaluate them and initiate a 5150 hold, rather than making them wait for a County crisis team to arrive.” The pilot will begin at the five private hospitals that currently rely most heavily on County crisis teams for 5150 evaluations:

The Los Angeles County Department of Mental Health will be responsible for training participating physicians and authorizing them to conduct the evaluations. The effort is part of the County’s broader Alternative Crisis Response system, which sends mental health professionals rather than armed law enforcement officers to many people experiencing behavioral health emergencies. Los Angeles County currently has 71 mobile crisis response teams operating 24 hours a day, seven days a week. County officials say the expansion of alternative crisis response has coincided with fewer mental health calls being handled by law enforcement. Between 2023 and 2025, mental-health-related calls to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department declined 16 percent, while arrests resulting from mental health calls dropped 24 percent. At the same time, demand for mobile mental health services has increased. Referrals from the County’s 24-hour mental health crisis line for mobile crisis responses rose 31 percent between 2023 and 2025. “Every person experiencing a behavioral health crisis in Los Angeles County deserves a timely, compassionate response from a qualified professional,” Horvath said. “When someone is already in an emergency department, we should be using the expertise of the physician at their bedside while preserving our mobile crisis teams for people who need help in the community,” Horvath said. “This pilot can reduce unnecessary delays, strengthen our crisis response system, and ensure that decisions are made with both clinical expertise and respect for patients’ rights and dignity.” The motion directs the Department of Mental Health to develop a plan to expand the physician training program to all eligible non-County hospitals that are not currently LPS-designated by the end of 2027. “This is about making a system that is already working work even better,” Hahn said. “We can equip our ER doctors to better help their patients, while allowing our County’s mental health crisis teams to focus on where they are needed in the field.” The department must report back to the Board of Supervisors within 120 days on implementation of the pilot, including hospital participation, training and certification procedures and any barriers encountered. Quarterly updates will follow as the County develops plans for broader implementation based on the results of the five-hospital pilot.

WATER

Continued from Page 1

reductions totaling as much as 3 million acre-feet annually in the three Lower Basin states — potentially representing as much as 40% of their combined Colorado River allocations. For Southern California, that makes the reliability and cost of imported water more than an issue hundreds of miles away at Lake Mead. It is a local infrastructure issue. How Colorado River Water Reaches Southern California Southern California’s water supply is an interconnected system of local groundwater and imported supplies. The Metropolitan Water District of Southern California imports Colorado River water through the Colorado River Aqueduct and also receives water originating in Northern California through the State

Water Project. Metropolitan’s member agencies then distribute imported supplies throughout the region. In southeast Los Angeles County, Central Basin Municipal Water District is one of those Metropolitan member agencies, providing access to imported water for retail water agencies within its service territory. That imported supply supplements groundwater produced locally by cities and water agencies. The distinction becomes increasingly important when local infrastructure fails or groundwater production is reduced. Communities still need the same water, meaning lost local production may have to be replaced with water purchased from the regional imported-water system. And that replacement water comes from sources over which an individual city has little control. Local Infrastructure Becomes More Valuable Southern California’s dependence on imported water has long made groundwater an important part of the region’s water-supply strategy. Maintaining wells and other local infrastructure requires substantial investment. Aging wells eventually require rehabilitation or replacement. Pumps, electrical equipment, pipelines and storage facilities also have to be maintained. But allowing that infrastructure to deteriorate carries another cost: greater dependence on imported water. The latest Colorado River reductions demonstrate why that tradeoff matters. Imported supplies face pressures ranging from drought and declining reservoirs to increasing treatment, energy and transportation costs. Colorado River water must be moved hundreds of miles and lifted across substantial elevations before reaching Southern California. Local groundwater, where available and

properly managed, provides agencies with another source of supply and reduces exposure to disruptions elsewhere in the West. Reservoirs Near Critical Levels The immediate problem is visible at Lake Mead and Lake Powell. Since 2020, Colorado River flows have averaged approximately 32% below the 20th-century average. This year brought another blow when the Rocky Mountains recorded their lowest snowpack on record, sharply reducing the snowmelt feeding the river. Lake Powell is now approaching a particularly consequential threshold. If the reservoir falls another 29 feet, water would no longer reach the intakes necessary to operate turbines at Glen Canyon Dam. Hydroelectric generation could cease and the amount of water that can be moved downstream could potentially become constrained. The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation plans to reduce releases from Lake Powell during the next eight months in an attempt to keep the reservoir approximately 20 feet above that critical point. “We’ve been in this 26-year prolonged drought period,” Andrea Travnicek, the Interior Department’s assistant secretary for water and science, said. “We continue to see a prolonged drought in our future.” States Still Cannot Agree The federal government was forced to establish new operating rules after California, Arizona, Nevada, Colorado, Wyoming, Utah and New Mexico failed to reach a long-term agreement over how shortages should be divided. The dispute largely separates the three Lower Basin states — California, Arizona and Nevada — from the four Upper Basin states of Colorado, Wyoming, Utah and New Mexico. For the next two years, the Lower Basin states will make substantial reductions without comparable mandatory cuts being

imposed on the Upper Basin states. California’s Colorado River Commissioner JB Hamby said the three Lower Basin states have demonstrated that they are willing to make difficult reductions but cannot solve the river’s problems alone. “California, Arizona and Nevada have shown that states can compromise, make difficult decisions and reduce water use when the river demands it. But three states cannot carry the responsibility of all seven,” Hamby said. Arizona has warned that it could challenge mandatory reductions in court, potentially sending the century-old dispute over Colorado River water to the U.S. Supreme Court. A Century-Old Problem Comes Home The roots of the crisis stretch back to the Colorado River Compact of 1922, which divided the river among the states using assumptions about water availability that proved overly optimistic. In effect, more water was promised than the river could reliably deliver. Today the Colorado River supplies approximately 35 million people, 30 Native American tribes and about 5 million acres of agricultural land. Roughly three-fourths of the water diverted from the river goes to agriculture. Mexico is also expected to participate in the latest conservation effort, reducing its Colorado River withdrawals by approximately 250,000 acre-feet annually in 2027 and 2028. That water would remain in Lake Mead. The federal plan buys the Colorado River system time. It does not create more water. For Southern California communities, the message from Lake Mead and Lake Powell is increasingly difficult to ignore: maintaining local water sources and the infrastructure needed to deliver them is becoming more important as the reliability of imported supplies comes under increasing pressure.

ABCUSD High Schools Remain Highly Ranked U.S. News & World Report has published its 2026 - 2027 Best High Schools rankings, and ABC Unified School District high schools were ranked among the best in the state and nation. The publication looked at over 1,678 schools in California and over 24,000 high schools nationwide, ranking them on six factors. The results speak volumes about the quality of education ABCUSD schools provide. Whitney High School was ranked #2 in California and #11 nationally. Cerritos High School ranked #69 in California and #464 nationally, Gahr High School came in #197 statewide and #1,236 nationally, and Artesia High School ranked at #832 in the state and #6,180 nationwide. “We’re so proud to have our schools ranked highly both in California and nationally,” said Board of Education President Mr. Francisco Noyola. “These results are due to our unwavering commitment to providing our students with a world class education, making sure that each and every student has the support needed to succeed at school and life.”

ABCUSD schools consistently rank high in the U.S. News “Best Public High Schools” program, outpacing most districts in the Los Angeles metro area. This year, all four ABCUSD comprehensive high schools landed in the top 48 percent of the 697 high schools ranked in the Los Angeles region and in the top 25% nationally. “Although recognition like this can be meaningful, we remain focused on providing our students with an outstanding education, graduating from our schools in a position of choice to continue their education or move on to a great career,” said Superintendent Dr. Gina Zietlow. “School rankings may come and go, but the impact our teachers and staff have on students is what truly matters.” U.S. News ranks schools based on six indicators, including college readiness, state assessment proficiency and performance, underserved student achievement, college curriculum breadth, and graduation rates.

Artesia Commission to Consider Six-Story, 151-Unit Mixed-Use Project LCCN Staff Report ARTESIA — The Artesia Planning Commission will consider a proposed six-story mixed-use development containing 151 residential units and more than 10,000 square feet of ground-floor restaurant space at a public hearing Sept. 15. The project, proposed for 11746 South Street, near the corner of Pioneer and South, would rise 65 feet and include 10,002 square feet of restaurant space on the ground floor. The project would also provide 263 parking spaces, 10 fewer than the 273 spac-

es normally required. The developer is also requesting approval of modifications from two city development standards. The project proposes 263 parking spaces, 10 fewer than the 273 spaces that would otherwise be required under city standards. The applicant is also seeking permission to provide ninefoot ceilings within indoor common areas where the city’s standards require a minimum height of 12 feet. The Planning Commission hearing will be held Tuesday, Sept. 15, 2026, at 7 p.m. in the City Council Chambers at Artesia City Hall, 18747 Clarkdale Ave.

ries D bonds at an estimated true interest cost of approximately 4.64%. After approximately $740,700 in estimated financing charges and issuance expenses, the district expects to receive approximately $63.76 million in net proceeds for Measure BB projects. But principal and interest payments over the life of the bonds are currently estimated at approximately $119.56 million. Put another way, taxpayers would repay approximately $1.85 for every $1 of Series D principal issued, based on the district’s current estimates. The roughly $55 million difference between the $64.5 million principal amount and projected $119.56 million repayment consists primarily of interest paid over the life of the bonds. Those figures are estimates. The actual borrowing cost will not be known until the bonds are priced and sold.

ABC Chooses Negotiated Bond Sale The district is proposing to sell the Series D bonds through a negotiated transaction rather than a competitive bond sale. Under the proposed arrangement, BofA Securities would serve as underwriter and purchase the bonds from ABC for resale to investors. The board resolution establishes several limits on the transaction, including a maximum maturity of 25 years, a true interest cost not exceeding 6%, and an underwriter’s discount of no more than 0.50%. District officials would be authorized to negotiate and execute the final sale within those parameters. The documents identify Piper Sandler as ABC’s municipal financial advisor, Atkinson, Andelson, Loya, Ruud & Romo as bond counsel and Jones Hall as disclosure counsel. ABC estimates BofA Securities’ underwriter compensation at $245,100. Other estimated costs include $60,000 for Piper Sandler, $42,500 for bond counsel, $35,000 for disclosure counsel, $40,000 for a Moody’s credit rating, $5,000 for Los Angeles County document review, $3,000 for California Municipal Statistics, $2,500 for U.S. Bank Trust and $4,000 for AVIA Communications. The financing documents also include approximately $298,600 for bond insurance if the district determines purchasing insurance is financially advantageous. Total estimated financing charges are approximately $740,700. One question the district may face is why officials chose a negotiated sale with BofA Securities rather than a competitive sale in which investment banks bid to purchase the bonds. A negotiated sale is a commonly used method of issuing municipal debt. Still, the distinction is important because ABC is entrusting its financing team to negotiate the interest rates and purchase price on a transaction that will affect taxpayers for decades. Timing Was Always Part of the Equation ABC’s own planning documents show that district officials were concerned about the timing of bond sales almost from the beginning. At a September 2019 special board study session, officials projected that Measure BB dollars could lose approximately 4% of their purchasing power annually because of escalating construction costs. The district identified several potential ways to combat that escalation, including obtaining state matching funds and grants, using interest earned on unspent bond proceeds and setting aside additional district money. Another option specifically identified was to “accelerate the sale of Bonds to reduce the impact of escalation.” Instead, ABC ultimately spread the borrowing over approximately seven years: 2019, 2022, 2024 and, if approved and com-

pleted as expected, 2026. That raises an important financial question: how did the district balance construction cost inflation against the cost of borrowing before it was needed? Issuing bonds earlier could have protected more of Measure BB’s purchasing power from construction inflation. Still, taxpayers would also have begun paying interest on money that was potentially sitting idle while projects were being designed or awaiting construction. The district’s original priorities included campus security, elementary school shade shelters and playground improvements, drop-off lanes, technology and classroom improvements, restroom renovations, science facilities, multipurpose rooms, media centers, office renovations and replacement of aging portable classrooms.

District Can Spend Before Bonds Arrive ABC is also asking the board to approve a companion resolution allowing the district to begin spending money on Measure BB projects before Series D proceeds arrive. The district expects the Series D bonds to be issued and delivered this fall, but construction and other capital expenses are expected to be incurred before the financing closes. Under the resolution, ABC could temporarily use money from its General Fund, capital facilities fund, or other district accounts for qualifying Measure BB expenditures and subsequently reimburse those accounts with Series D proceeds. The reimbursement authority would not exceed $64.5 million. District officials say the procedure is necessary to preserve the federal tax-exempt status of the bonds while allowing construction projects to proceed before the financing is completed. Taxpayers Repay Bonds Through Property Taxes Measure BB general obligation bonds are repaid through property taxes levied on taxable property within ABC Unified’s boundaries. District financing documents state that the tax rate required to service all Measure BB bonds, including Series D, is anticipated not to exceed $60 annually per $100,000 of assessed valuation. That figure should not be confused with a property’s market value or purchase price. For illustration, a property with an assessed value of $500,000 would equate to $300 annually at a $60-per-$100,000 tax rate. A property assessed at $1 million would equate to $600. The actual levy can vary as debt-service requirements and the district’s total assessed valuation change. Audits Have Found Measure BB Spending in Compliance The district’s annual independent audits have so far found that Measure BB expenditures tested by auditors were used for authorized purposes. For the fiscal year ending June 30, 2025, auditors examined approximately $18.23 million in transactions, representing about 55% of the year’s $33.14 million in Measure BB expenditures. The auditors reported no performance audit findings or questioned costs and concluded that the district properly accounted for expenditures and spent the money on authorized Measure BB projects. The 2024 audit similarly tested approximately $29.9 million in invoices, including reviews of bidding procedures, change-order limits and whether expenditures corresponded with authorized projects. Auditors concluded the district complied in all significant respects with the requirements tested. The Citizens’ Oversight Committee has also found ABC in compliance with Proposition 39 requirements in its annual reviews. Final Price Will Tell the Story The Aug. 18 authorization establishes ceilings and preliminary estimates; it does not establish the final cost of the Series D

bonds. Once the bonds are sold, the final pricing will reveal the actual interest rate, the underwriter’s compensation, insurance costs, if any, the maturity schedule, the proceeds available for construction, and the total debt service taxpayers will ultimately be required to pay. Those numbers will also make it possible to compare all four Measure BB bond issues and determine the complete borrowing cost associated with the $258 million authorization approved by ABC voters in 2018. For taxpayers, that may ultimately be the most important Measure BB number of all: not simply how much ABC was authorized to borrow, but how much the entire $258 million will cost to repay.

lated support. The $8.04 million scope extends through the construction phase. It includes responding to contractor requests for information, providing design clarifications, conducting site visits, revising plans, providing startup and testing assistance, and preparing record drawings. Tetra Tech’s project schedule extends through February 2029. The council approved the agreement as part of its consent calendar. The same vote authorized emergency repairs to deteriorated driving-range netting at the Rio Hondo Golf Course. The city will purchase and install replacement netting from Judge Netting at a cost not to exceed $190,555. The south-side driving-range netting is 26 years old and had an estimated life expectancy of only seven to 10 years. City staff said years of deterioration, compounded by recent severe winds, left portions torn and created a potential hazard from errant golf balls. Judge Netting was the only company contacted that staff said had immediate availability. The work includes $109,500 for driving-range repairs, $56,200 for repairs and improvements along Hole 14 and a $24,855 contingency. Councilmember Dorothy Pemberton recused herself from one other consent item because she lives in the vicinity. After the consent vote, Pemberton used her council comments to raise a service gap that was not listed as a standalone agenda item. She said a complaint about a car parked in the same spot for a month led her to learn that some streets are not swept. “It came to my attention while investigating a parked car that the resident said was in the same location for a month,” Pemberton said. “I said, well, why wouldn’t street sweeping ticket it? Well, they didn’t have street sweeping on their streets. So we have a list of 22 streets that

do not receive street sweeping from years past for various reasons.” She said residents on one stretch of Paramount Boulevard had asked years ago that sweeping be stopped so they could keep cars parked and maintain the street themselves. “Well, they are not maintaining it, and especially now with having a vector coming around, or rather the increase of mosquitoes, we need to keep our gutters clean,” Pemberton said. Pemberton had earlier noted that West Nile virus cases are up across Southern California, including in Downey, and urged residents to dump standing water. She asked that sweeping be extended to the excluded streets unless there is a particular reason not to, with notice before service starts. “I would like our city manager to have our street sweeping service in all parts of the city unless there’s a particular reason why we don’t do it,” Pemberton said. “When we are ready to have maybe all the streets swept and part of the main master plan that we give the residents two weeks’ notice, we give them a letter and put in our sign so that they’re not caught offhand that all of a sudden we’re doing street sweeping.” Councilmember Hector Sosa Ortiz seconded the request and asked for the list of streets. The city manager said staff would bring a report back to the council for direction.

6 | Los Cerritos Community News | August 28, 2026

From the Mayor’s Desk: August 28, 2026 By Lynda P. Johnson August was a month filled with occasions that brought our community together - times of celebration, connection, and reflection. From joyful celebrations to honoring those we have lost, the month reflected the values that define Cerritos Cerritos Mayor and the people who Lynda Johnson make it so special. The month began with an unforgettable experience for guests at the Cerritos Center for the Performing Arts (CCPA). Thirteen-time Grammy

Award winning musician John Legend amazed the sold-out crowd at the CCPA’s season opener on August 1. Just days later, the Theater became the setting for a truly out-of-this world event when astronauts from NASA’s Artemis II mission captivated a packed house with stories from their journey around the Moon. Guests also enjoyed a STEM fair and learned about the role that California companies play in deep space exploration. It was an amazing start to a promising season at our Theater, where we are building community every day through unforgettable shows and educational experiences. On August 6, National Night Out welcomed approximately 1,500 people to Heritage Park to engage with law enforcement and first responders. This annual event is centered around our police-community partnerships and continues to emphasize the City’s number one Strategic Plan goal to enhance public safety. Visitors had upclose views of fire trucks, Cerritos Sheriff’s Station vehicles, and the Sky Knight helicopter that supports deputy patrols. The event also featured informational displays, children’s activities, and live music from Bruno Mars Tribute Band “That’s What I Like.” The event was honored by the special appearance of Los Angeles County Sheriff Robert G. Luna. At Frontier Park, on August 10, the City celebrated the unveiling of an upgraded picnic shelter and grill amenities. The new, open-air and ADA accessible pavilion features energy-efficient LED lighting, replacing an aging structure and creating a more welcoming space for our community. Earlier this week, the City held its quarterly Celebrating Cerritos event, which recognized 11 residents and businesses who are making a difference in our community. Honorees included this year’s Distinguished Young Women of Cerritos-Artesia, a Junior Olympics All-American, outgoing Friends of the Cerritos Library Board members, outgoing Cerritos Advisory Board members, and the City’s Business Spotlight recipients for July and August. Their collective contributions bring pride to our City and are reflective of Cerritos’ unique characteristics. Celebrating Cerritos preceded the City Council’s approval of another development project to Los Cerritos Center. LongHorn Steakhouse will occupy a new, standalone restaurant, to be constructed along South Street near the Macy’s department store. The project also calls for site improvements to the parking lot and façade of Macy’s. The addition of LongHorn Steakhouse supports the City’s Strategic Plan in strengthening economic development and builds upon last month’s approvals for a DICK’S House of Sport at Los Cerritos Center and upgrades to the Carmenita Plaza North shopping center. This Monday, August 31, marks the 40th anniversary of the Cerritos Air Disaster, a tragic day in our City’s history when two aircrafts collided over Cerritos and crash-landed in the community. The incident on August 31, 1986, resulted in the death of 64 people aboard an Aeromexico flight, three people on a smaller aircraft, and 15 people on the ground. The Air Disaster Memorial Sculpture, located inside the Cerritos Sculpture Garden, was dedicated in 2006 to honor those who perished, and to provide comfort and serenity to those who lost loved ones in the tragedy. On August 31, a floral arrangement will be placed at the memorial, and the community is invited to join the City Council beginning at 10 a.m. to reflect and pay their respects. A special reading of the names will take place, followed by a moment of silence in remembrance of the lives we lost. As your Mayor, I am proud that our City takes time to memorialize the fallen, celebrate community contributions, and invite our residents to get involved. Thank you for your contributions to a vibrant Cerritos.

Trump’s Beef With Beef: When America First Comes Second and the Base Gets Burned Again By Brian Hews, Publisher

Nothing says “fiercely loyal” like getting hit by the same truck twice and still waving as it backs up for a third pass. Somewhere in farm country and cattle country right now, Trump voters are standing in the checkout line staring at $6.69-a-pound ground beef, the same folks who watched soybean prices collapse in 2018, got a bailout check instead of an apology, watched it happen again in 2025 with Argentina scooping up China’s business right after a taxpayer-funded rescue of Argentina’s economy — and are now watching the administration flood the beef market with more Argentine imports to fix a price problem largely caused by drought and herd size, not foreign competition. The National Cattlemen’s Beef Association is furious. House Republicans are furious. Chuck Grassley is on X furious. Everybody’s furious — except, apparently, at the ballot box, where the fury tends to evaporate right around November. It’s the political equivalent of a guy who keeps proposing to the person who left him at the altar twice, convinced that this time she’s really going to show up. And when she doesn’t, he blames the caterer. The catch: economists say the Argentina beef quota is a “rounding error” that won’t even lower grocery prices. So ranchers get to eat the market volatility for a policy that might not deliver the one thing it’s supposedly for. Heads the White House wins a headline about “affordability,” tails the rancher loses a season’s profits. Everybody comes out ahead except the guy who actually raises the cattle. And that’s where this stops being a story about beef. It’s a story about loyalty. Trump’s political genius has always been his understanding that his relationship with his base isn’t transactional in the normal political sense. Other politicians lose voters when they don’t deliver. Trump has repeatedly demonstrated that he can disappoint his voters and convince many of them that somebody else did it. China retaliates against American soybeans? Blame China. Farmers lose their export markets? Send them checks. Argentina steps in and sells soybeans to China? Blame the trade war, the Chinese, the global market — anybody except the guy who started the trade war. Then help Argentina stabilize its economy. Then buy more of its beef. At some point, “America First” starts to require a footnote. American cattle producers aren’t asking Washington to

guarantee them riches. They’re asking Washington not to kneecap them while they’re rebuilding a herd that drought, elevated expenses and years of contraction have driven to historic lows. That’s the remarkable part of this. These aren’t Berkeley progressives suddenly discovering they dislike Donald Trump. This is cattle country. Farm country. Red counties stacked on red counties. People who put Trump signs on barns, Trump flags on pickups, and gave Republicans some of their most reliable margins in America. They didn’t merely vote for him. They defended him. Through two impeachments. Through indictments. Through criminal trials. Through January 6. Through tariffs. Through scandals that would have ended the careers of politicians from almost any other era. The bargain was simple: Trump fights for us. That’s what made the loyalty so durable. Which makes the beef fight politically fascinating, because this time there isn’t an MSNBC host or Democratic governor standing between the policy and the person getting hurt. The rancher can see the imported beef. He can see the cattle price. He can see his costs. And he can see whose signature is on the policy. The White House will argue that consumers need relief, and consumers certainly do. Beef prices are painful. But flooding a tight domestic market with temporarily discounted foreign product while asking American ranchers to expand their herds is a strange way to encourage the long-term production needed to bring prices down. Raise more cattle, America. Also, we’re bringing in cheaper foreign beef. Good luck with the financing. And if the imported beef barely moves the supermarket price, the insult becomes almost perfect: ranchers absorb the uncertainty while shoppers wonder where the promised savings went. That’s not economic policy. That’s political theater with a livestock trailer parked backstage. Maybe this time cattle country finally decides loyalty is a two-way street. Maybe ranchers decide “America First” ought to include the Americans actually raising America’s beef. Maybe soybean farmers remember what happened the last time. The political pain may last longer than the news cycle. Or maybe November arrives, the signs go back up, the flags come out, and everybody climbs aboard the same truck again. The caterer will probably get blamed.

Disneyland Breaks Ground on Massive 6,000-Space Parking Structure

DISNEY NEW transportation hub will include rideshare areas, security screening and pedestrian bridge over Harbor Boulevard LCCN Staff Report Disneyland Resort has broken ground on a massive new parking structure and transportation hub in Anaheim that will eventually add approximately 6,000 parking spaces and dramatically change how thousands of visitors arrive at the resort. It will be constructed on the east side of Disneyland Resort on a portion of the former Manchester cast member parking lot. The new transportation hub will include dedicated areas for shuttles and rideshare vehicles, security screening and dedicated vehicle access from Disney Way. A major component of the project will be a new pedestrian bridge spanning Harbor Boulevard. The bridge will connect the parking and transportation complex with an all-new esplanade arrival area serving Disneyland and Disney California Adventure. The bridge will also provide public pedestrian access to and from Harbor Boulevard. The project represents one of the first major infrastructure components of Disneyland’s broader expansion plans following Anaheim’s approval of DisneylandForward

in 2024. Disney has said the additional parking and transportation capacity is necessary as the company prepares for future growth and new attractions at the Anaheim resort. Among the projects planned for Disney California Adventure are an Avatar-themed destination and the first Disney attraction based on Pixar’s “Coco.” Disney is also expanding Avengers Campus and has announced plans for the future of Tomorrowland. The parking project is expected to take several years to construct. Disney has not announced an opening date for the new structure or pedestrian bridge. When completed, the new eastern arrival complex will give Disneyland a second major parking gateway while moving thousands of pedestrians above Harbor Boulevard rather than across the busy street at ground level. For Disney, the project is about considerably more than finding another place to park 6,000 cars. It is the infrastructure needed to accommodate the next generation of growth at Disneyland Resort.

8 | Los Cerritos Community News | August 28, 2026 Maybe last season was the beginning of the future as Artesia High won a CIF-Southern Section divisional championship for the first time ever and Gahr High reached the quarterfinals for the second time in the past three seasons. But the addition of the new Suburban Valley Conference, divided by four leagues based off last season’s computer rankings, allows programs like John Glenn High and La Mirada High a chance for an automatic berth into the playoffs and possibly a deep run in the postseason.

2026 GIRLS VOLLEYBALL PREVIEW

New leagues should end playoff droughts for some, enhance competitiveness for others

LOREN KOPFF Sports Editor @LorenKopff on X

ARTESIA PIONEERS

16-11 overall last season, 5-5 in the 605 League, 4th place, swept Schurr High in the CIF-Southern Section Division 8 championship match 39-54 overall last five seasons Head coach: Francisco Serrano (second season, 16-11) Last time program missed the playoffs: 2024 Rio Vista League this season, graduated nine seniors last season With the good comes the bad and for head coach Francisco Serrano, this season is not going to be the same as 2025 when the Pioneers got a forfeit gift from Dominguez High, allowing them to reach the required .500 record to advance to the playoffs. From there, the rest was history. The celebration of the CIF-SS Division 8 championship lasted into the spring, but now the Pioneers must deal with the fact that only four players return from last season’s magical team. “The CIF championship celebration lasted until April of 2026 with the City of Hawaiian Gardens annual parade where the girls got to be the Grand Marshalls,” said Serrano. “The season from last year meant so much for the program, the school, but most importantly for the community. It gave hope and lots of dreams to our future players that anything can be achieved.” Middle blocker Camryn Potter, outside hitter Haley Robertson, libero Averie Garrison and defensive specialist Theresa De Avila, all seniors, are the only returners on a team that will have half a dozen new seniors and four juniors. With the departure of three key seniors from last season’s team, Serrano says the challenges will be building the team again with the varsity rookies. He believes the team is there, but building the chemistry will be the bigger issue. Artesia will be relying heavily on Robertson, but Serrano believes the team has other strong players that can duplicate another run for a CIF-SS championship. He thinks senior Emma Castillo, Jayleen Granillo, Angelee Huerta and junior Natalia Romero will make an impact this season to go along with the four remaining players. As far as the Rio Vista League goes, where the Pioneers will face Firebaugh High, La Mirada, Mayfair High and Whittier High twice, Serrano doesn’t have much to say about it since this is the first season of facing new league opponents. “However, I do believe the team has the potential to accomplish the league championship or end up in the top [three] of the league,” he said.

CERRITOS DONS

24-6 overall last season, 10-0 in the 605 League, first place, lost to Paloma Valley High in four sets in the Division 4 second round playoffs 102-36 overall last five seasons Head coach: David Cuthbert (13th season 121-95) Last time missed the playoffs: 2002 Gateway League this season, graduated five seniors last season Cerritos High had dominated the 605 League for the past seven seasons, going 68-2 with both losses coming to Whitney High. This season will be completely different as the Dons will be facing Downey High, Gahr, La Serna High and Warren High twice in the highly competitive Gateway League.

“We had a great time in the 605 League; we enjoyed the competition and community of those schools and built some great rivalries,” said head coach David Cuthbert, the program’s leader in season’s coached and victories. “We are proud of what we accomplished on all three levels of our program, but we are excited to face a new challenge in the Gateway League. We have played most of those teams in the past few years. I think there will be a lot of parity, and a lot of close games. It’s a great opportunity for our players to play in more close games and we are hopeful it can help the players and the program develop.” One advantage Cerritos will have in jumping into a new league will be the fact that 10 players return from last season’s team. Cuthbert says it’s good to know what the program has and good to have a lot of players with experience playing together. He believes all 10 have improved over the offseason, especially junior setters Kylie Cruz and Leah Hidalgo, who are a little more consistent in their play. There’s more depth in the defensive specialist position, especially with junior Chloe Gomez, and Cuthbert has been pleased with the development of senior outside hitters Ceana Merino, and Avery Updike and junior outside hitter Ally Veron. He says they are all becoming really well-rounded players. Freshman opposite hitter/outside hitter Tara Namiranian, who Cuthbert says is a very capable young player who he hopes will adjust quickly to high school volleyball, has been ‘a nice surprise’. She is the lone freshman on a team of 19. “I’m confident in my team,” says Cuthbert. “We have been competitive with our new league foes over the past few years with some wins and some losses when we have met in tournaments or non-league games. We are just aiming to be playing our best volleyball when it comes to league games. It’s going to be a really fun year.”

GAHR GLADIATORS

26-10 overall last season, 10-0 in the Mid-Cities, first place, swept by Santa Barbara High in the Division 5 quarterfinals 84-70 overall last five seasons Head coach: Charity Dennis (sixth season, 84-70) Last time missed the playoffs: 2024 Gateway League this season, graduated five seniors last season Last season was one of the best the program has seen in over 25 seasons, winning over 20 matches for second time in the past three seasons, both resulting in trips to the quarterfinals. The Gladiators didn’t lose much from last season, thus making this season in the new Gateway League more interesting. “It was a special season because the team learned how to trust the process and each other,” said head coach Charity Dennis. “The 25-10 record and quarterfinal run were the results of that commitment. Returning nine players gives us a strong foundation. [Junior outside hitter] Violet [Hackworth] and [sophomore libero] Kylee [Shaver] have improved tremendously since last season and I’m very excited to see them take on bigger roles this year.” The team is off to an excellent start, winning its first nine matches including

all seven to start the season in Honolulu at the Sacred Hearts Academy Lancer Invitational. Senior setter Lauren Blanco, senior right side hitter Raeana Sousa and junior setter Sykoya Molina have also been in the starting lineup of the returners. Of the newcomers to the varsity program, Dennis said that freshman setter Kenzie Vikchai, who brings stability, talent and versatility, and sophomore opposite hitter Julia Mathai and sophomore middle blocker Amira Benton each bring dedication, work ethic and physicality. “We are excited to watch their impact grow on the team in the 2026 season,” she added. City rival Cerritos, whom the Gladiators have played 13 times since 2012 but has defeated just four times, figures to be a competitive league opponent along with La Serna. “The new league is an exciting opportunity for our program,” said Dennis. “We are looking forward to competing against strong teams, but our focus is on ourselves, our preparation and effort as well as our ability to execute when it matters the most. “We need to trust our preparation and take care of the matches in front of us,” she continued. If we do that, we’ll put ourselves in a strong position to compete for a league championship and reach the playoffs.”

JOHN GLENN EAGLES

1-18 overall last season, 0-10 in the 605 League, sixth place 28-69 overall last five seasons Head coach: Daniel Reyes (seventh season, 39-81) Last time made the playoffs: 2024 Division 10 last season 605 League this season The new 20-school conference gives struggling programs like the one John Glenn has to not only compete with the likes of Bellflower High, California High, Lynwood High and old league foe Pioneer High, but get a golden chance to finish in the top three and grab a spot in the playoffs. The Eagles have advanced to the playoffs just twice under head coach Daniel Reyes, who in 2024, gave the program its first winning record since 2009. Since 1998, Glenn has been to the playoffs eight times and this season, will have 11 seniors from a team of 14 players.

LA MIRADA MATADORES

1-21 overall last season. 0-8 in the Gateway League 59-54 overall last five seasons Head coach: Kayla Long (second season, 1-21) Last time made the playoffs: 2023 Division 9 last season Rio Vista League this season, graduated one senior last season La Mirada High had its worst season in quite a long time under Kayla Long, who replaced longtime head coach Kimberly Mahan. This season, the Matadores have four returning players from last season and 13 seniors on a team of 17. “I was just getting them with all-skills training instead of positional training,” said Long of last season. “It’s all about going for the overall, which is getting them fully developed. If that means last year was a rebuilding year, then…rebuilding to get the development is more important in our minds.”

Long says senior setter Isabel Fimbers, who is also a dependable opposite hitter, is the most improved player from last season while freshman setter Mackenzie Norton is the most improved newcomer to the team because Long tabbed her as very versatile.

NORWALK LANCERS

15-10 last season, 5-3 in the Gateway League, tied for second place, lost to Marshall Fundamental in four sets in the Division 6 second round playoffs 72-60 overall last five seasons Head coach: Paola Nava (sixth season, 72-60) Last time missed the playoffs: 2021 Mid-Cities League this season, graduated four seniors last season Norwalk High has had a solid program since 2005 despite going through eight head coaches, including Paola Nava, who is now the longest tenured girls volleyball head coach since 2001. Her 72 victories are the most since Jesse Gonzalez won 53 matches from 2012-2015 and she hopes her team, with Oxford Academy, Paramount High, Santa Fe High and Whitney High as new league opponents, can get to the quarterfinals for the second time in the past four seasons and possibly farther. The heart and soul of the team for the past four seasons has been and continues to be senior outside hitter/middle blocker Mirei Sanchez, who had 15 kills in a sweep against La Mirada earlier in the season. Junior opposite hitter/defensive specialist Ellejhaye Estores and sophomore middle blocker Lailanee Cano are showing signs of filling in the voided shoes of Sanchez next season and beyond.

VALLEY CHRISTIAN DEFENDERS

24-3 overall last season. 8-0 in the Olympic League, first place, lost to Marina High in four sets in the Division 2 first round playoffs 100-45 overall last five seasons Head coach: Stacy Brannon (third season, 45-9) Last time missed the playoffs: 2009 Graduated six seniors last season One of the area’s top girls volleyball teams once again put together a fine regular season, losing the season-opener against Etiwanda High before going on a 15-match winning streak, then sweeping its last nine entering the playoffs. There, the Defenders were stunned by Marina High in four sets. V.C. won it’s first Olympic League title since 2016 after finishing in second place five straight seasons. Still, the Defenders are locked and loaded with six solid returning seniors among the 10 seniors on the team, and junior setter Taylor Lyons as the team is trying to have at least the same results as last season. “We want to win league for two years in a row and a goal is to get further in [the playoffs] than we have the last two years,” said head coach Stacy Brannon. She and the team are leaning on senior outside hitter Tessa Dobmeier to be the leader once again. Brannon says she is off to a good start through the first six matches this season and is nearing the coveted 1,000 kill club for her career. Senior outside hitter Jenna Van Kampen, who will be opposite Dobmeier on the court, brings outstanding passing and defense from last season and continues to lead the team on the outside opposite, according to the former star from V.C.’s National Championship team of 1998. Senior Brooklyn Warner, who was an opposite hitter last season, is now a middle blocker and Brannon says she is fitting in her new role nicely. Senior Anika Visser has also changed positions and will be the libero while senior setter Lucy Taylor is in her fourth season on the varsity team. The top newcomer is freshman outside hitter and setter Scarlett McGuyre, younger sister of senior opposite hitter Whitney McGuyre, Brannon says Scarlett is one of the hardest hitters on the team and will be a setter in the back row.

WEEK ZERO FOOTBALL

Gahr’s second half rally against Valley Christian produces rare non-league tie in opener By Loren Kopff•@LorenKopff on X It was opening night at Dr. Hanford Rants Stadium last night where Gahr High was hosting Valley Christian High with an abundant aroma from the brisket, pulled pork and chicken that was being smoked behind the concession stand and a tie. That’s right; there was a rare tie as the teams played 48 minutes of a 35-35 contest as the Gladiators scored twice in their first two possessions of the fourth quarter with senior quarterback Jacob Burson tossing the last touchdown of the game to junior wide receiver Riley Bryant for 16 yards with 4:40 remaining in the game. It was the first time since 2023 that Gahr had not lost to its Artesia Blvd. neighbors, winning that affair 21-20. Last season, the Defenders were all over the Gladiators in a 41-0 contest and since 2021 have won four of the past six meetings against Gahr. “We started slow, so it’s a character of what these guys are about,” said longtime Gahr head coach Greg Marshall. “Guys go down as usual, and we had some other kids step up. So, I’m very happy with their performance.” “Ties aren’t always fun, but I actually don’t mind it at this stage,” said V.C. head coach Brendan Chambers. “We’re super young; we’re battling through a lot of pain and trying to fight through all four quarters. But to come out here and play a quality football team…Gahr is really good, and they’re organized this year. They have things going and they’re figuring out their offense and defense. So I feel like a tie is better than a loss right now. We can hold our heads up with the way we battled. I know that the guys are a little upset, and they should be. But I

NEWS AND NOTES FROM PRESS ROW:

Former Suburban League combatants to renew NLMUSD rivalry on the gridiron By Loren Kopff•@LorenKopff on X For the first time since 2023, longtime former Suburban League rivals La Mirada High and Norwalk High will meet at Goodman Stadium in a non-league contest on Friday in the HMG-Community News Game of the Week. Since the schools were broken off by the four ex-league schools who formed the 605 League to begin the 2018 season, the Matadores and Lancers have met six times, recently playing in 2023 when La Mirada prevailed in a 34-13 contest. La Mirada has won 23 of 25 meetings since 1998, the most victories by the program against any other CIF-Southern Section in the past 28 seasons. The last time the Lancers prevailed came in 2013 in a 42-35 affair. That season, Norwalk won 13 straight games before falling to La Serna High 41-38 in overtime in the CIF-SS Southeast Division championship game. The only other time Norwalk defeated La Mirada since 1998 came in 2008, a 41-24 affair. La Mirada began this season in high fashion against South Gate High, scoring all 34 points in the first quarter and 14 more in the second quarter in a 48-6 victory. Meanwhile, Norwalk was at the short end of a 60-7 decision to

think we’re going to battle back and it will be something we can grow on.” Junior De’Mir Cunningham scored from 14 yards out on the first play of the fourth quarter as the Gladiators tied the game for the first time at 28-28. Three plays later, V.C. senior quarterback Graham Lunzer tossed a 22-yard scoring pass to senior wide receiver Byron Louis as the Defenders reclaimed the lead. But four plays after that came Gahr’s tying touchdown. “[Junior] Brandon [Martinez] ran the ball really well,” said Marshall. “Then [senior quarterback] Jacob [Burson], for his first time out, managed the game pretty well. He had to manage the game, and I thought he did that. He made a couple of throws when he needed to. That’s all we asked him to do; he did an excellent job.” “It was definitely fast-paced,” said Chambers. “We kind of figured early on it might be a shootout because we were having a tough time stopping them and they were having a tough time stopping us. I think both teams got a little tired there and broke open some big plays. But just a couple of missed opportunities offensively that I wished we could have had back. But it was a gritty performance; it got fun there for a while.” Lunzer accounted for all five touchdowns for his team and gave his team a 7-0 lead 1:37 into the contest when he rushed it in from six yards out on second and six. The fourplay drive was set up by a 29-yard gain from sophomore running back Leonard Graham on his first varsity carry. On V.C.’s second drive after its defense forced Gahr to punt, another four plays was needed to get the score to 14-0.On second and eight, sophomore wide receiver Eli Zoetewey caught his first varsity pass, an 11-yard reception, followed by a 30yard run and seven-yard gain from Lunzer. A failed onside kick would give the hosts the ball at midfield, and they matriculated their way for the team’s first touchdown of the season. Martinez gained 27 yards on third and one and two plays later, sophomore wide receiver James Carter caught a 14yard touchdown pass from Burson with 93 seconds left in the quarter. The score would remain 14-7 until late in the half when V.C. capped off a nineplay drive with a four-yard touchdown pass from Lunzer to senior wide receiver and last

season’s backup quarterback Liam Sweeney. Then with 21 seconds left in the half, Burson tossed a 26-yard touchdown pass to Cunningham as the Gladiators bounced back from an intentionally grounding infraction a play after the Defenders were called for a roughing the passer penalty. Despite trailing by eight points at the half, the Gladiators gained nearly 200 offensive yards, with Burson, Carter, Cunningham, Martinez, and senior running back Nick Washington doing all the work. But it wasn’t all good in the eyes of Marshall. “It was the tackling,” said Marshall of his team’s first half performance. “I told them if we don’t tackle, the game is over. I think we did a better job in the second half, and then the other thing was we adjusted our defense and made the stops. We were able to stop their run with the five-man box.” Lunzer, who broke his left fibula in the second quarter of last season’s CIF-Southern Section Division 9 first round playoff game against Chino High and missed the team’s final four games, displayed the same, if not better, better results in the first half as he completed eight of 11 passes for 131 yards and rushed eight times for 58 yards. “We know that our offense is going to go as far as he takes us,” said Chambers. “He’s just good when it comes to passing and understands when to throw the ball and when not to throw the ball and takes off and runs. So yeah, he did a great job tonight. I’ve said this before, but you wouldn’t even know he was injured with all the [physical therapy] and rehab he has done. He’s faster than he was last year [and] he understands the offense better than last year.” “Last year, we didn’t cover the pass very well,” said Marshall. “They scored on a lot of big plays, and [tonight], we just didn’t tackle. We were there, but we just didn’t tackle. That’s just the adjustment of trying to control a running quarterback.” The second half began on fire as Martinez eluded a would-be tackle on the first play, then broke loose for an 85-yard touchdown run just 17 seconds in. But Lunzer went to work and accounted for all 49 yards on V.C.’s initial drive of the second half, including a 23-yard pass to senior tight end Sam Melcher to get the ball to the eight-yard line. Two plays later, he tossed a three-yard scoring strike to Zoetewey as the Defenders

went up 28-20. “That’s what makes it so much fun,” said Chambers. “You get these kids who come up [from junior varsity] and…I told them before the game there’s going to be a lot of first times for everything. First game of your senior year, first game of the season, first time starting in a varsity game, and we knew some of them would step up huge, and Eli had a great moment there. I’m proud of him because he’s been a little bit banged up. But that’s what makes this job fun; seeing those guys step up and get an opportunity like that and score. It just puts a smile on my face; I’m happy for Eli and what he was able to do tonight.” Lunzer finished the game with 222 passing yards and 78 rushing yards. In his 11-plus games with V.C., the former transfer from St. John Bosco High has accounted for 42 of V.C.’s 58 offensive touchdowns. Louis caught five passes for 124 yards while on defense, Melcher led the way with six and a half tackles while sophomore linebacker Tae Cooley added five tackles followed by four from Louis and three from sophomore lineman Axel Johnston. V.C. will visit Mary Star of the Sea High on Friday. “We have a tough one next week,” said Chambers. “I watched a little bit of film earlier today. I know they have some dudes on the field, so it’s going to be a tough two weeks with Mary Star and Cerritos back to back. Just a lot of size and a lot of speed. We’re going to have a challenge ahead of us for the next two weeks and hopefully we can get one of them. But we know Mary Star is going to be a tough opponent.” Burson was nine of 17 for 124 yards while Martinez led the ground game with 182 yards on seven carries and Cunningham added 93 yards on five touches. Defensively, Carter had four tackles while senior lineman R’shon Livingston had three tackles. The Gladiators will be on the opposite sideline against Cerritos High on Friday. “I think we’ll go in healthier this year; I think our kids are ready,” said Marshall. “They’ve gotten us the past couple of years. We’re a much better team early in the year than them. Usually we play better later, but this team…we have all our [offensive] line back. With Brandon, and now we get De’Mir going, we have a pair of really good running backs.”

Lawndale High. Prediction: La Mirada 35, Norwalk 14

in the first half and tied the game on the first play of the fourth quarter. Cerritos won last season’s contest 35-7 and has taken three of the last four meetings after the Gladiators reeled off 13 straight wins when they outscored the Dons 561-56 with seven shutouts. Both teams have new starting quarterbacks and are not as offensively strong as in the past. Prediction: Gahr 28, Cerritos 14 Century High (0-1) at John Glenn High (1-0)-A 15-point fourth quarter performance helped enable the Eagles to a 22-15 opening season victory. Junior quarterback Ryder Perez threw three touchdown passes, two going to sophomore wide receiver Kellen Huckleberry and one to senior wide receiver Alijah Hunter. Century is coming off a 43-0 loss to Riverside Prep last Friday as the Silver Knights scored 15 points in the first quarter and 14 more in the second quarter to put the game away. The last time these two schools met on the gridiron was in 2000 when the Eagles posted a 20-13 victory. Prediction: Glenn 28, Century 7 Valley Christian (0-0-1) at Mary Star of the Sea High (0-0)-Despite gaining just over 300 yards of total offense at Gahr last Friday, the Defenders could only manage a tie. Now, V.C. goes on the road to avenge a 22-21 setback last season on its homecoming night. The Defenders led 7-0 at the half and 14-6 heading into the fourth quarter. Senior quarterback Graham Lunzer threw a pair of touchdown passes and rushed for one as Aden Sierra booted a 35-yard line at the end of the game to give the Stars their first ad and only lead of the game. It was the first loss to Mary Star of the Sea since winning

four straight meetings from 2004-2007. Prediction: V.C. 28, Mary Star of the Sea 21 Last week’s predictions: 3-3 Season to date: 3-3

OTHER GAMES ON FRIDAY Artesia High (1-0) at Hacienda Heights Wilson High (1-0)-Last Friday, Artesia gave E.J. Ashby his first victory as a varsity head coach as the Pioneers were all over Gabrielino High 38-0 in the first meeting between the programs in over 28 years. Now, the Pioneers will face another opponent for the first time in over 28 years as they will go to Wilson. Last Friday, the Wildcats defeated Alhambra High 37-7. Prediction: Artesia 28, Wilson 24 Gahr High (0-0-1) at Cerritos High (0-1)-The City of Cerritos and ABC Unified School District rivalry continues as the Silver Milk Barrell/Jug is once again up for grabs. This season’s contest takes on a different storyline as both enter the contest without a victory from their season openers. Cerritos dropped a 42-7 decision to Cypress High last Thursday as the Dons were limited to 156 yards of total offense. The lone touchdown came in the middle of the third quarter when senior quarterback Alex Laurin heaved an 80-yard strike to senior Sam Reeves. “We played a lot of young guys who did some things,” said Cerritos head coach Demel Franklin. “We had probably six guys who had never played football before; it was their very first game. Our right tackle, [senior] Noah Edwards; he’s a starting center in basketball but [this was] his first game playing football. We have a lot of things to work on, so we’ll be busy tomorrow.” Gahr is coming off a 35-35 tie against Valley Christian High.in which it never held a lead, trailed by a pair of touchdowns twice

Notice of Divided Publication

Pursuant to Revenue and Taxation Code Sections 3381 through 3385, the County of Los Angeles Treasurer and Tax Collector is publishing in divided distribution, the Notice of Power to Sell TaxDefaulted Property in and for the County of Los Angeles (County), State of California, to various newspapers of general circulation published in the County. A portion of the list appears in each of such newspapers. I, Elizabeth Buenrostro Ginsberg, County of Los Angeles Treasurer and Tax Collector, State of California, certify that: Notice is given that by operation of law at 12:01 a.m. Pacific Time, on July 1, 2024, the Tax Collector declared the real properties listed below tax defaulted. The declaration of default was due to nonpayment of the total amount due for the taxes, assessments, and other charges levied in tax year 2023-24 that were a lien on the listed real property. Non-residential commercial property and property upon which there is a recorded nuisance abatement lien shall be subject to the Tax Collector’s Power to Sell after three years of defaulted taxes. Therefore, if the 2023-24 taxes remain defaulted after June 30, 2027, the property will become subject to the Tax Collector’s Power to Sell and eligible for sale at the County’s online auction in 2028. All other property that has defaulted taxes after June 30, 2029, will become subject to the Tax Collector’s Power to sell and eligible for sale at the County’s online auction in 2030. The list contains the name of the assessee and the total tax, which was due on June 30, 2024, for tax year 2023-24, opposite the parcel number. Payments to redeem tax-defaulted real property shall include all amounts for unpaid taxes and assessments, together with the additional penalties and fees as prescribed by law, or be paid under an installment plan of redemption if initiated prior to the property becoming subject to the Tax Collector’s Power to Sell. The Treasurer and Tax Collector’s (TTC) Office will furnish, upon request, information concerning making a payment in full or initiating an installment plan of redemption. Requests must be made at 225 North Hill Street, First Floor Lobby, Los Angeles, California 90012. For more information, please visit TTC’s website at ttc. lacounty.gov or contact TTC at (213) 974-2111. I certify under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct. Executed at Los Angeles, California, on July 23, 2026. _________________________________ ELIZABETH BUENROSTRO GINSBERG TREASURER AND TAX COLLECTOR COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES STATE OF CALIFORNIA Assessees/taxpayers, who have disposed of real property after January 1, 2023, may find their names listed because the Office of the Assessor has not yet updated the assessment roll to reflect the change in ownership.

The Planning Commission will consider the proposed ZTA’s and make a recommendation to the City Council concerning their adoption. The proposed ZTA’s are consistent with the goals, policies, and objectives of the Commerce General Plan. PURSUANT to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA; Public Resources Code § 21000 et seq.), the proposed ZTA’s are exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15061(b)(3) (common sense exemption). The exemption applies where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment. Because the proposed ZTA’s do not approve any development or construction and otherwise maintain the status quo, it can be seen with certainty that the amendments would not result in any direct or indirect environmental impacts. Accordingly, the ZTA’s are not considered a “project” under CEQA. MEETING INFORMATION: The meeting will be held at the City of Commerce, Council Chambers, 5655 Jillson Street, Commerce, CA 90040, at which time proponents and opponents of the proposed ZTA’s will be heard. Any comments, objections, or other information may be offered in person at the time of the hearing or in writing, prior to the hearing. We encourage you to submit written comments supporting, opposing, or otherwise commenting on an agenda item for distribution to the Planning Commission before the meeting. Send emails to planning-division@commerceca.gov by September 21, 2026 by 3:00 p.m. or written correspondence may be sent to: City of Commerce, Community Development Department, 2535 Commerce Way, Commerce, CA 90040 or may be contacted at: (323) 722-4805 ext. 2820. STATE GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 65009 NOTICE: If you challenge this application in court, you may be limited to raising only those issues you or someone else raised at the public hearing described in this notice, or in written correspondence delivered to the City at, or prior to, the public hearing.
