The new rates reduce that subsidy and move the systems toward financial self-sufficiency. See page 7.
By Brian Hews CERRITOS — Cerritos residents are facing a substantial increase in their water bills, but the city’s own rate study shows that even after the increase, customers would continue paying less than most residents served by other water agencies in the region. The comparison provides important context to the controversy surrounding the city’s
new water and sewer rates, which became the centerpiece of months of political fighting and ultimately an unsuccessful effort to recall city officials. According to the City of Cerritos 2025 Water and Sewer Rate Study, an example residential customer using 20 CCF of water every two months with a 5/8-inch by 3/4-inch meter had an average bimonthly bill of approximately $65.11. Under the February 2026
rate used in the study, that same bill rises to approximately $114.64 — an increase of $49.53 every two months. That is a significant increase. But the same city-commissioned study compared Cerritos with 15 other cities and water agencies and found that, even at $114.64, Cerritos would remain cheaper than 12 of them. Several neighboring communities were already charging
City refuses to release records on how officials arrived at $10 million payment to Downey Nissan.
DOWNEY — When Downey officials announced plans for a new Costco warehouse and gas station that would require relocating Downey Nissan, Mayor Claudia Frometa and the City Council trumpeted the project as a major economic victory that “would create hundreds of jobs, generate millions of dollars in new sales tax revenue and strengthen the city’s financial future.” But buried beneath the promises of jobs and new revenue was a $10 million taxpayer-funded payment to Downey Nissan to
cancel its lease. There’s one catch: Nissan doesn’t own the property. And after several California Public Records Act requests by Los Cerritos Community News — each increasingly narrow, specific and direct — along with questions to Mayor Frometa, Downey refuses to explain how it determined that terminating Nissan’s leasehold interest was worth $10 million. Records show that Andrews Rancho Del Norte owns the property. BCH Holdings LLC, the entity associated with Downey Nissan, holds a longterm leasehold interest in the property under a Construction See DOWNEY, Page 5

Lakewood Moving Ahead With Permanent Traffic Calming Projects Pilot projects on Palo Verde Avenue and Studebaker Road produced reduced speeds and cut-through traffic; construction begins this fall. By Brian Hews
LAKEWOOD — Lakewood is moving ahead with permanent traffic-calming improvements on Palo Verde Avenue and Studebaker Road after pilot projects showed reductions in vehicle speeds and cut-through traffic and received majority support from residents responding to city surveys. The projects grew out of a multiyear effort to address speeding, stopsign violations, pedestrian safety and neighborhood cut-through traffic. Since 2020, the issues have been discussed at more than two dozen meetings and updates of the City Council, Public Safety Committee, Community Safety Commission, and Capital Improvement Program Committee. Temporary improvements were installed on Palo Verde and Studebaker in spring 2026, allowing city engineers to collect traffic data and residents to experience the changes before permanent construction. According to the city, 587 survey responses were received regarding the pilot projects, with a majority supporting moving ahead with final design and construction. The results showed some significant

changes. On Palo Verde Avenue, vehicle speeds declined by as much as 27%, while cut-through traffic dropped approximately 15% to 20%. The city said the reduction also made it easier for residents to enter and exit their driveways. On Studebaker Road, cut-through traffic decreased by as much as 32%, while 85th-percentile vehicle speeds declined 7.5%. The Studebaker project also produced a sharp increase in pedestrian activity around Rynerson Park. The city saw a 200% increase in the number of pedestrians accessing the park during the pilot period, from 17 to 51. The city said the permanent designs have been modified based on
resident feedback and observations by its engineering team. Changes include adjustments to traffic-circle geometry and approaches, improved signage and visibility, and pedestrian-access improvements. Permanent improvements at Palo Verde Avenue and Candlewood Street are expected to begin in September and continue through October, weather permitting. The work will contain revised roadway geometry, additional signage and pavement markings, a hardscaped roundabout with mountable curbs, relocation of the bus stop at Candlewood Street and improvements to comply with Americans with Disabilities Act accessibility requirements. The city also plans additional coor-
dination with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s and Fire departments. Construction on Studebaker Road is expected to begin in late September and continue through November. That project will include permanent hardscaped roundabouts with mountable curbs, concrete medians and bulb-outs, additional signs and yield markings, and changes to parking-lot circulation intended to prevent motorists from using the parking lot as a detour around Studebaker. Other improvements include ADA curb ramps, pedestrian improvements, additional vehicle separation at the Studebaker and Centralia Street curve, bus stop improvements and a new concrete sidewalk extending from Gridley Road to Rynerson Park. The projects have never been without public debate. The city said it conducted bilingual online and printed surveys, mailed postcards to nearby residents, canvassed parks and surrounding neighborhoods, conducted door-to-door outreach and held multiple public meetings during the pilot program. Lakewood officials said the temporary installations were deliberately used to test the concepts before committing to permanent construction. Residents will have another opportunity for discussing the projects with city representatives on Saturday, Sept. 5. An outreach team will be at Rynerson Park, near the dog park, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., and at the Palo Verde project site from noon to 2 p.m. The city also plans another survey permitting residents to weigh in on the final design for the centers of the traffic circles. For more information, residents can contact the City of Lakewood at 562-866-9771, extension 2140.

Hawaiian Gardens Adopts New Restrictions on E-Bikes and Electric Mobility Devices New ordinance restricts where electric bikes and similar devices can operate and prohibits unsafe riding By Brian Hews HAWAIIAN GARDENS — Hawaiian Gardens has adopted new restrictions on electric bicycles and other electric mobility devices, joining a growing number of Southern California cities trying to keep up with the rapid proliferation of battery-powered bikes, scooters and other vehicles. The City Council adopted Ordinance No. 2026-626, adding a new chapter to the municipal code regulating electric mobility devices on public property and within public rights-ofway. Under the ordinance, electric mobility devices generally cannot be operated on public property or within the public right-of-way unless their use is specifically authorized by the city or they are being operated on a public highway, street, roadway or designated bicycle lane in accordance with state and federal law. The ordinance also prohibits operating the devices in an “unsafe manner.” Violators can be cited, and violations may also be prosecuted as misdemeanors. Each act or incident in violation of the ordinance constitutes a separate offense. Hawaiian Gardens is hardly alone. Cities throughout Southern California have been adopting their own e-bike and electric mobility ordinances as the devices have become faster, more popular and particularly common among teenagers. Brea adopted an e-bike ordinance that took effect in January 2025. Rather than simply banning the devices, the city targeted reckless or destructive behavior and riding that endangers pedestrians and motorists. Brea also took an approach that could be particularly relevant to Hawaiian Gardens: education instead of punishment for some young riders. Police can refer juvenile offenders and their parents to an e-bike education program instead of requiring them to pay a fine. The program was developed through cooperation among the city, Brea Police Department and Brea Olinda Unified School District. Nearby Los Alamitos has taken the school connection even further. Students who want to park e-bikes on Los Alamitos Unified School District campuses are required to complete an e-bike safety course conducted by the Los Alamitos Police Department. Students who successfully complete the course receive a sticker valid for two years. Los Alamitos also prohibits unsafe riding, establishes helmet requirements for riders under 18 and restricts where certain electric devices can be ridden. Its escalating administrative penalties can reach $100 for a first violation,

$200 for a second and $500 for additional violations within a year. La Habra adopted its own electric mobility ordinance in 2025, prohibiting the devices on sidewalks and numerous public facilities while requiring riders to exercise due care. The city also imposed a maximum speed of 27 mph in public areas. Calabasas joined the movement this year, adopting regulations in March covering e-bikes, electric scooters, electric skateboards and similar devices. Its ordinance prohibits the devices on public sidewalks, parks, athletic fields, sports courts, recreational and equestrian trails and other specified public areas. The city has emphasized education and warnings while retaining the ability to cite repeat offenders or riders engaging in clearly dangerous behavior. The proliferation of local ordinances reflects a larger problem facing cities. California law already establishes three classifications of legal electric bicycles. Class 1 and Class 2 e-bikes provide assistance up to 20 mph, while Class 3 bikes can provide assistance up to 28 mph. But increasingly powerful electric motorcycles and modified devices are appearing alongside conventional e-bikes, creating confusion for parents, riders and law enforcement over what is actually an e-bike and what is effectively an electric motorcycle. That distinction matters. A teenager riding a conventional pedal-assisted e-bike is considerably different from a rider operating a high-powered electric motorcycle capable of speeds well beyond those permitted for legal e-bikes. But Are the New Laws Working? That is much harder to determine. Cities can point to citations, safety courses, increased enforcement and greater public awareness, but there is still relatively little long-term data demonstrating that local e-bike ordinances by themselves significantly reduce collisions and injuries. That may be partly because many of the ordinances are new. Brea’s rules have been in effect for less than two years. Los Alamitos adopted its ordinance in 2025, while Calabasas did not adopt its regulations until March. The emerging approach, however, increasingly combines three elements: education, enforcement and parental involvement. Instead of relying solely on tickets, several cities are requiring or encouraging young riders to take safety courses, contacting parents following violations and working with school districts to reach riders before accidents occur. That could provide a model for Hawaiian Gardens. The city’s newly adopted ordinance gives law enforcement clearer authority to deal with riders operating electric devices dangerously or in prohibited public areas. But experience elsewhere suggests enforcement may be most effective when paired with education — particularly when the riders involved are children and teenagers. For Hawaiian Gardens, the ordinance represents the city’s first major attempt to establish its own rules for a rapidly changing form of transportation. E-bikes aren’t going away. The question cities across Southern California are increasingly trying to answer is how to keep them without letting increasingly powerful electric vehicles turn sidewalks, parks and public spaces into racetracks.
Two Bills Could Bring Solar Power to Renters and Condo Residents
BALCONY SOLAR: Small plug-in solar systems can be mounted on apartment or condominium balconies, allowing renters and owners without rooftop access to generate electricity and reduce their utility bills.
LCCN Staff Report California renters and condominium residents who have largely been left out of the rooftop solar boom could soon have new ways to generate cheaper electricity. State lawmakers have approved two bills designed to expand small-scale solar beyond traditional rooftop systems, including one that would allow Californians to plug small solar panels directly into household electrical outlets. Assembly Bill 1813 would require the California Public Utilities Commission to develop a more robust community solar program. Under the concept, residents could subscribe to a nearby solar installation and receive savings on their monthly electric bills without installing panels on their own homes. The second measure, Senate Bill 868 by Sen. Scott Wiener (D-San Francisco), would legalize what is commonly called “balcony solar.” The systems use relatively small solar panels that can be placed on a balcony, patio or fence and connected directly to a wall outlet. Unlike a traditional rooftop installation, they would not require homeowners to install a large array or go through the usual utility approval process. That could make solar available to millions of Californians who rent apartments or live in condominiums. Both bills now head to Gov. Gavin Newsom. Utilities Push Back California’s investor-owned utilities have opposed portions of both proposals, arguing that expanding solar subsidies could shift costs to customers who do not participate. Pacific Gas & Electric successfully pushed for a 2030 expiration date in SB 868. If Newsom signs the measure, lawmakers would have to reauthorize the plug-in solar program before then. PG&E also raised concerns about safety standards for plug-in systems. Under the legislation, balcony solar systems could not be used until they have been certified for the U.S. market by a nationally recognized testing laboratory such as UL Solutions. Similar systems are already widely used in Germany. The larger fight surrounds community solar. AB 1813 would require utilities to compensate community solar developers and participating customers at rates higher than those established under the CPUC’s existing program. Utilities contend those payments ultimately would be borne by other customers. The CPUC’s independent Public Advocates Office estimated AB 1813 could shift approximately $1.5 billion annually to customers who don’t participate in community solar — averaging roughly $12 per month. Southern California Edison has also
opposed the legislation, arguing it could expose customers to higher rates when less expensive sources of clean electricity are available. Solar Advocates Disagree Ward and solar advocates dispute the utilities’ cost-shift argument. Supporters point to studies indicating that greater use of community solar combined with battery storage could reduce demand for natural-gas generation, imported electricity and expensive transmission infrastructure. One study cited by Ward estimated that adding 5.4 gigawatts of community solar and storage could produce approximately $6.5 billion in savings for California ratepayers. The debate comes after California dramatically changed the economics of traditional rooftop solar. Installation rates dropped following a CPUC decision reducing the amount utilities pay many homeowners for excess electricity generated by their rooftop systems. Utilities argued the previous compensation system left customers without solar paying a disproportionate share of maintaining the electrical grid. Community solar supporters have spent several years trying to persuade the CPUC to establish a program that makes smaller projects economically viable while extending solar benefits to people who don’t own a roof. Your Balcony Could Become a Tiny Power Plant Of the two proposals, plug-in solar would represent perhaps the most visible change for consumers. Instead of financing a large rooftop installation, a renter could potentially place several approved panels on a sunny balcony or patio, connect the equipment to an outlet and use the electricity to offset some of the power being purchased from the utility. The concept has become increasingly popular in Germany but remains relatively new in the United States. Wiener said the legislation is part of a broader effort to give consumers alternatives to relying entirely on California’s large utilities. “We should empower people to generate their own electricity and to lower their electric bills,” he said. Lawmakers also approved Senate Bill 913, which would allow consumer-owned batteries, electric vehicles, smart thermostats and similar devices to be combined into larger groups and treated as a source of electricity available to California’s grid. Together, the measures represent an effort to move some electricity generation away from large centralized power plants and onto balconies, patios, batteries — and potentially into the hands of Californians who previously had no practical way to participate in solar power.

Southern California Edison Customers Getting $72 Summer Bill Credit LCCN Staff Report Southern California Edison customers are getting a little relief from high summer electric bills, with $72 in California Climate Credits being applied automatically to residential accounts. Customers will receive two $36 credits, one on their August bill and another on their September bill. No application, enrollment or other action is required. The credits come through California’s Cap-and-Invest Program, which requires large greenhouse gas emitters to purchase pollution allowances. A portion of the proceeds is returned to utility customers through the California Climate Credit. This year, state regula-
tors changed when customers receive the money. Southern California Edison said its average electric rates have also declined 4.3% since December 2025, with another decrease expected later this year. The $72 credit is not based on how much electricity a household uses. Eligible SCE residential customers receive the same credit amount regardless of their individual consumption. Customers should see a line marked “California Climate Credit” on their bills. Because billing cycles do not necessarily correspond with calendar months, some customers who do not see the credit during August or September could see it on the following bill. Statewide, approximately $894 million in residential electric Climate Credits are being distributed in 2026. California has returned billions of dollars to utility customers through the Climate Credit program since it began in 2014.

Drone Enforcement: Artesia Issues $26,000 in Illegal Fireworks Citations ARTESIA — Artesia issued 13 citations totaling $26,000 for illegal fireworks violations after reviewing footage collected through a drone enforcement program used around the 4th holiday. The city contracted with Southwest Patrol to provide drone enforcement services from June 26 through July 12, 2026, as part of Artesia’s enforcement of its municipal code prohibiting illegal fireworks. Following the enforcement period, city staff reviewed footage collected by the drones and identified violations that resulted in the 13 citations. The fines averaged $2,000 per citation. City officials said the drones provided an additional way to identify fireworks violations and assist Code Enforcement
personnel while addressing public-safety and quality-of-life concerns. “Illegal fireworks pose a serious risk to our community, and the City is committed to enforcing our laws fairly and consistently,” Mayor Rene Trevino said. “Partnering with Southwest Patrol and utilizing drone technology has given our Code Enforcement team another effective tool to identify violations and hold those responsible accountable.” The city said it plans to continue using technology and enforcement resources to address illegal fireworks and promote public safety.

Downey Won’t Explain $10 Million Nissan Payment Continued from page 1
and Lease Agreement [CLA] dating to December 2015. The same records show a 2025 assessed value of approximately $14.23 million, including $2.62 million attributed to the land and $11.61 million to improvements. Assessed value is not the same as current market value and does not establish the value of BCH Holdings’ leasehold interest. The $10 million is being paid to terminate that leasehold interest, allowing Nissan to relocate across Firestone Boulevard and enabling the property to be included in the approximately 13.6-acre Costco development. The City Council approved the $10.5 million Master Development Funding Agreement in June. In addition to the $10 million lease cancellation payment, another $500,000 in city funds is designated for environmental review and entitlement work associated with the project. The money will come from the city’s General Fund Economic Opportunities Reserve. Costco, meanwhile, has agreed to provide up to $20.8 million toward construction of a replacement Downey Nissan dealership on property across Firestone Boulevard. Property owner Andrews Rancho Del Norte is expected to contribute up to approximately $1.6 million in cash, site materials and improvements, along with additional property for parking and efforts to secure other parking rights. Once Nissan relocates, its existing dealership can be demolished, and Costco can proceed with construction of an approximately 162,000-square-foot warehouse and 40-pump gas station. A Lease Can Be Worth Millions The fact that Nissan does not own the land does not mean its interest in the property is worthless. A long-term commercial lease can itself carry substantial value, particularly if a tenant is paying well below current market rent. Orange County-based real estate attorney Scott Talkov told LCCN that one way to estimate the value of terminating such a lease is to calculate the difference between the tenant’s contracted rent and current market rent over the remaining term of the lease, then discount those future savings to their present value. In other words, a tenant paying substantially below-market rent with many years remaining on a lease could be giving up an asset worth millions of dollars
by agreeing to leave early. But determining that value requires information — and Downey is refusing to provide it. Among the important factors in determining the $10 million payment are the rent Nissan currently pays, the number of years remaining on the lease, scheduled rent increases, renewal options and current market rents for comparable property. Those are precisely the kinds of details the public cannot evaluate here. When LCCN requested the CLA, the city responded that it had “no records responsive” to the request and suggested contacting the Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk. Then how did they determine the $10 million payment to Nissan? Without the lease or the financial analysis used by the city, the public cannot independently determine how close — or how far — the $10 million payment is from the economic value of BCH Holdings’ remaining leasehold interest. City Cites Exemptions LCCN subsequently requested any appraisals, leasehold valuations, broker opinions, economic analyses, consultant reports, spreadsheets, financial models or calculations supporting the $10 million payment. The request also sought correspondence concerning the negotiation and justification of the amount and records showing the procedure and assumptions used to determine whether $10 million was reasonable. Downey did not release those records. Instead, the city cited Government Code Section 7928.705, a California Public Records Act exemption covering certain real estate appraisals, engineering or feasibility estimates and evaluations while a transaction remains pending. The city also cited attorney-client privilege. The only responsive document released was the already-public City Council agenda report concerning the Master Development Funding Agreement. LCCN followed up with another records request, asking the city to identify each appraisal, valuation, report, or other document being withheld, including its title, author, and date. The city declined. “The City is not required to provide an itemized list identifying every specific record being withheld,” the city responded, adding that it had cited the applicable statutory exemptions and legal grounds for nondisclosure. The reply does not establish that a
particular appraisal or leasehold valuation exists. But it leaves a fundamental question unanswered: What financial analysis, if any, did the City Council rely upon before committing $10 million in public money? Mayor Asked Directly LCCN then took the question directly to Mayor Frometa. The mayor was asked how the $10 million figure was determined, what information the City Council relied upon before approving it, and whether councilmembers received an appraisal, leasehold valuation, or other financial analysis. Frometa said she consulted the city attorney regarding disclosures involving the project. “The specific records you are requesting are protected from disclosure by the Public Records Act under an exemption covering real estate documents/records while the respective transaction remains pending,” Frometa wrote, citing Government Code Section 7928.705. She said the publicly available agenda memorandum and Master Development Funding Agreement were “as detailed as possible for the current stage of the project.” But LCCN’s questions to Frometa were not limited to requests for additional documents. The mayor was asked directly how the $10 million was determined and whether the Council had reviewed an appraisal, leasehold valuation or other financial analysis before voting. Those questions went unanswered. Leasehold Secured $7.426 Million Loan. Property records reviewed by LCCN provide another glimpse at the potential value of BCH Holdings’ leasehold interest. A 2023 recorded leasehold deed of trust shows BCH Holdings obtained a $7.426 million loan from Wells Fargo Bank, with its leasehold interest serving as collateral. The document references the December 2015 CLA between Andrews Rancho Del Norte, as the landlord, and BCH Holdings, as the tenant. The recorded deed of trust does not disclose how BCH used the loan proceeds, how much remains outstanding, or whether any portion of Downey’s $10 million payment will ultimately be used to satisfy the Wells Fargo obligation. LCCN found no evidence establishing that the city is paying off that loan. The document does establish, however, that BCH’s leasehold interest was used as collateral for a multimillion-dollar loan. Another $5 Million Contemplated The $10.5 million commitment may not be the end of Downey’s financial par-
ticipation in the development. The Master Development Funding Agreement contemplates two future sales-tax-sharing agreements: $3 million associated with Costco, after the warehouse receives its certificate of occupancy, and $2 million associated with Downey Nissan, after the replacement dealership is completed. Those agreements are expected to return separately to the City Council for approval. The documents currently available to the public do not specify the percentage of sales tax to be shared, how long the arrangements would remain in effect, or the formulas that would determine the payments. That matters because Downey officials have repeatedly promoted the Costco development as generating more than $3 million annually in new sales-tax revenue. Until the future agreements are presented, residents cannot determine from the currently available documents exactly how much of that projected revenue Downey would retain after the contemplated sales-tax-sharing arrangements. Frometa has called Costco one of Downey’s most significant economic investments in recent years, saying the development would create hundreds of jobs, expand the city’s revenue base and strengthen its long-term finances. Those benefits may prove substantial, and the $10 million lease termination payment itself may prove economically justified. But nearly two months after the City Council committed the money, the public still cannot see the calculation that matters most. Downey has explained what it intends to pay. It still hasn’t explained how it arrived at $10 million.

Thai Massage Studio Seeks Approval to Open in Former Lemon Tree Spa in Cerritos
ARTESIA HOLDS CANDLELIGHT VIGIL FOR NEPAL VICTIMS
By Brian Hews
A new massage and skin-care business is seeking approval to open in the former Lemon Tree Spa location at the Cerritos Triangle shopping center, with the Cerritos Planning Commission scheduled to consider the proposal Sept. 2. The Thai Massage Studio LLC is requesting a conditional use permit to operate at 11325 183rd Street, a 2,010-squarefoot commercial space previously occupied by Lemon Tree Spa. Applicant Wiphada Footham, a California-licensed massage therapist, plans to operate a full-service massage establishment offering body and foot massages along with facial and skin-care services. She has told the city she will employ only California-certified massage therapists. The existing space includes six private massage rooms, a laundry room, restroom, waiting area and reception area. No interior alterations are proposed.

Because conditional use permits for massage establishments cannot be transferred to a new owner, The Thai Massage Studio must obtain its own CUP and city business license. The proposed approval contains several conditions specifically governing the operation. Under Condition 59, anyone performing massages must hold either a Cerritos massage technician permit or valid California certification through the California Massage Therapy Council. For CAMTC-certified therapists, the owner would be required to provide Cerritos with copies of the therapist’s state massage identification and California DMV identification within five days of hiring. The city is also requiring changes to the storefront. Condition 60 requires the applicant to patch, repair and stucco the exterior wall where the former tenant’s business identification sign was located.

Massage establishments are conditionally permitted in Cerritos’ Regional Commercial zone and are regulated under Chapter 5.22 of the Cerritos Municipal Code. The city’s massage ordinance states that its regulations are intended to protect public health and safety while discouraging massage establishments from becoming fronts for prostitution or other unlawful activity. The ordinance also recognizes massage therapy as a legitimate professional field. City planning staff is recommending approval. The Planning Commission will conduct a public hearing Wednesday, Sept. 2, at 7 p.m. at Cerritos City Hall. If commissioners approve the recommendation, the conditional use permit will move to the Cerritos City Council for final consideration.

why Cerritos could impose such a large percentage increase and still remain near the lower end of the regional comparison. For years, Cerritos kept its water and sewer charges unusually low in part by using money from the city’s General Fund to subsidize the utilities. That meant customers were not paying the full cost of operating the systems through their water and sewer bills. The city’s rate study concluded that the existing rate structure was not producing enough revenue to cover operating expenses, infrastructure needs and other costs associated with maintaining the water and sewer systems. The new rates are designed to reduce that General Fund subsidy and move the utilities toward financial self-sufficiency. That distinction became largely lost during the political battle over the increases. Opponents focused heavily on the percentage increase in Cerritos rates. Viewed by itself, the jump is dramatic. But percentage increases can be misleading when the starting point is substantially lower than surrounding agencies. A customer going from $65.11 to $114.64 experiences a large percentage increase. Yet the resulting bill can still be lower than what customers elsewhere were already paying. The city’s comparison illustrates exactly that. At $114.64 every two months, the Cerritos example would be $38.84 below Norwalk, $24.06 below Long Beach, $7.56 below Santa Fe Springs, $5.46 below Bellflower’s California American Water rate and $1.12 below the Whittier/ La Mirada Suburban Water Systems rate.
REGIONAL COMPARISON — Cerritos 2025 rate study showing the resulting bill after the increase would still rank among the lowest in the region. Using the study’s example of a residential customer consuming 20 CCF every two months, Cerritos’ bimonthly bill would rise from $65.11 to $114.64 under the February 2026 rate. Even after the roughly 76% increase, Cerritos would remain below Norwalk, Long Beach, Santa Fe Springs, Bellflower’s California American Water customers and Suburban Water Systems customers in Whittier/La Mirada. The comparison underscores how Cerritos’ historically low rates — supported in part by General Fund subsidies — allowed a large percentage increase while leaving the city near the bottom of the regional rate scale.

two women were injured early Tuesday in a massive crash on Rosecrans that involved five moving vehicles and approximately 10 or 11 parked cars, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department. The crash occurred around 1 a.m. on Rosecrans between Studebaker and Pioneer. Deputies closed Rosecrans between Harvest and Crosdale avenues, just south of Norwalk High, while investigators examined the scene. Norwalk Sheriff’s Station Capt. Omar Camacho said preliminary information indicated that one vehicle initially overturned and may have struck several parked vehicles, triggering a chain-reaction crash involving the other vehicles. Approximately 16 vehicles were involved altogether, Camacho said. The man killed in the crash was an adult, but authorities had not released his name. Two adult women suffered minor
Camacho said deputies received no calls or other information indicating that a street takeover was occurring at the time of the crash, although deputies have previously responded to complaints about speeding along that stretch of Rosecrans. Residents described being jolted awake by the crash shortly before 1 a.m. Israel Alarcon, who lives along Rosecrans with his parents and brothers, said both his car and his father’s car were among the parked vehicles struck. Another neighbor said he ran toward a man who apparently had been thrown from a vehicle, stepping over broken glass in the darkness. Someone already beside the victim indicated that the man had died. The neighbor asked not to be identified. Camacho said investigators would review doorbell cameras and other available recordings as they work to determine what caused the crash.

LCCN Staff Report BELLFLOWER — After 75 years of ribs, steaks, barbecue sauce and generations of family dinners, Chris & Pitts BBQ is closing its longtime Bellflower location.The restaurant announced the closure Wednesday, thanking customers and employees who helped make the Bellflower restaurant a local institution for 75 years. Chris & Pitts said it was saying goodbye to its “beloved location” and thanked its loyal customers and employees for decades of memories, friendship and support. The restaurant at 9839 Artesia Blvd. has been part of Bellflower’s landscape for generations, with its unmistakable old-school exterior and menu of ribs, steaks, sandwiches and other barbecue staples. Chris & Pitts traces its history to 1949 and bills itself as the “Home of the Live Woodfire.” The closure, however, does not mean the end of Chris & Pitts. The company said its Downey restaurant at 9243 Lakewood Blvd. will remain open and encouraged longtime Bellflower customers to continue visiting that location. The restaurant did not announce a final closing date or give a reason for shutting down the Bellflower location. The Bellflower restaurant had apparently experienced problems earlier this summer. In July, the business was listed as temporarily closed, and an owner response to a customer review attributed the closure at the time to repairs and directed customers to the Downey restaurant. For longtime Bellflower residents, the loss is more than another restaurant closure; it was the kind of place where grandpar-
ents, parents and children could all claim memories of eating there. After 75 years, the Bellflower location is finally leaving the table. The barbecue, thankfully, is still being served in Downey.

Construction Advances on New Dick’s House of Sport in Cerritos
DEMOLITION of the vacant space at the Cerritos Mall where the Dick’s House of Sport is expected to start being built later this year after the Cerritos City Council approved the plan on Monday, July 27, 2026. Photo by Vincent Medina.
By Vincent Medina Construction is moving along on the new Dick’s House of Sport at Los Cerritos Center, where the former Sears department store is being replaced by a 141,630-squarefoot retail and sports experience destination. The Cerritos City Council approved plans for the project on July 27, along with a separate remodel of Carmenita Plaza North. Dick’s Sporting Goods plans to build the two-story store with an 18,515-square-foot outdoor athletic field on the 4.65-acre former Sears site, according to city documents. The Planning Commission recommended approval 4-0 on July 1. Dick’s House of Sport is intended to combine traditional sporting-goods retail with interactive experiences. Indoor features are expected to include climbing walls, golf simulators, equipment demonstration areas and a synthetic athletic field, according to the city. The new building will be considerably smaller than the former Sears department store, which measured about 277,559 square feet and closed in 2019. Demolition of the former Sears building began before the council approved the project, clearing the way for construction of the new House of Sport. There is an existing Dick’s Sporting Goods location at Los Cerritos Center, but no announcement has been made regarding the future of that store. Macerich, which manages and co-owns the center, is overseeing the project with the city’s Community Development Department. The company hopes to begin construction later this year, with an anticipated opening in spring 2028. Mayor Lynda Provido Johnson framed the House of Sport and Carmenita Plaza North projects as investments in the city’s economic goals. “I am proud to join my City Council colleagues in supporting projects that reinvest in our community and align with our Strategic Plan Goal of strengthening our econ-

The story follows Seymour, a struggling flower shop employee whose discovery of a strange plant leads to unexpected fame, fortune, and increasingly dangerous consequences. Preview performances begin Friday,
omy,” Johnson said. “I want to thank our partners at Dick’s Sporting Goods and the work of City staff and our advisory boards for setting the stage for this momentous project that will re-invigorate the northern anchor end of Los Cerritos Center. Bringing a flagship destination like Dick’s House of Sport to Cerritos, along with site improvements at Carmenita Plaza North, will bring in new businesses, draw visitors from across the region, create local jobs, and generate additional sales tax revenue.” City staff determined the Dick’s project qualifies for a categorical exemption from further environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act as an infill development. A third-party consultant reviewed traffic, noise, air quality and related issues and found no significant impacts, according to city documents. The City Council also approved the proposed remodel of Carmenita Plaza North at the northwest corner of Artesia Boulevard and Carmenita Road. The proposal includes remodeling the exteriors of buildings on the northern three parcels of the shopping center, including a vacant former market space of about 23,200 square feet, additional in-line retail space and a freestanding bank building, according to city documents. The southern parcels, which are under separate ownership, are not part of the project. The remodel calls for a contemporary design using charcoal-gray metal panels, wood-textured metal columns with stacked stone, metal-paneled tower elements and white-painted exteriors, according to the agenda report. Site improvements also include additional landscaping, new planters throughout the parking lot, an outdoor plaza with covered dining areas and a water feature. The Planning Commission recommended the Carmenita Plaza North remodel 4-0 on July 1. Staff determined the project qualifies for a categorical exemption from further CEQA review as an alteration to an existing facility.
Sept. 18, with the official opening set for Saturday, Sept. 19. The show runs through Sunday, Oct. 11, at the La Mirada Theatre for the Performing Arts, 14900 La Mirada Blvd. Performances are Thursdays at 7:30 p.m.; Fridays at 8 p.m.; Saturdays at 2 p.m. and 8 p.m.; and Sundays at 1:30 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. An open-captioned performance is scheduled for Oct. 3, and audience talkbacks with the cast and creative team will be held Sept. 24 and Oct. 8. Tickets are available through the La Mirada Theatre box office or online at LaMiradaTheatre.com. Discounts are available for groups, students, military personnel, and La Mirada residents.

It’s never easy to rebuild a district rivalry that had been significantly dominated by one team from the original Suburban League. But as the NorwalkLa Mirada Unified School District has discounted The Mayor’s Cup rivalry because it has been one-sided, another one is in the beginning stages of coming back. Unofficially known as the Superintendent’s Cup, La Mirada High continued to display its strength over Norwalk High in a 38-0 win last Friday night at Goodman Memorial Stadium. Senior quarterback Isaac Cuevas completed the first eight passes he threw and 15 of the first 21 attempts entering the fourth quarter for 267 yards and three touchdowns while senior running back Josiah Fregoso picked up 105 yards on 15 carries through three quarters and scored a pair of rushing touchdowns. “He stepped up; he’s grown a lot since he’s been here,” said La Mirada head coach Lucas Mealy on Cuevas. “He’s waited his turn, he’s been through some ups and downs, and he knows the system like the back of his hand. He knows exactly where I want the ball; where we want the ball and he’s a leader for us and he’s done all the things that we want him to do. His growth has obviously shown on the field and the things off the field are showing as well.” It’s the 24th victory in the past 26 meetings over the Lancers and kept the Matadores undefeated after two games for the second straight season. On top of that, it’s only the fifth time since 2012 that La Mirada has won its first two games. In that season, the Matadores outscored their first two foes 100-55. “We went out there and handled business,” said Mealy. “I’m excited where we’re at. We got done with the last two games-South Gate and Norwalk and we’ll watch film tomorrow and fix some of the things that we have going on and make sure we’re ready to go for Bellflower.” For the Lancers, who lost to Lawndale High 60-7 in the first game of the season, they had one good drive in the first half which ended in an interception by La Mirada senior free safety Wyatt Gorham at the La Mirada 25-yard line. After that,
Former La Mirada High star pitcher Jared Jones rebounds after missing 2025 season By Loren Kopff @LorenKopff on X It’s hard to believe that one of the strongest baseball programs in the CIF-Southern Section, La Mirada High, has produced only a pair of pitchers who have played for a Major League Baseball team. But Jared Jones, a 2020 La Mirada graduate, is hoping to make the most of his opportunity despite missing all of 2025 because of a torn right UCL. Jones was a second-round draft pick in the 2020 MLB Draft, selected by the Pittsburgh Pirates, and a year later was the #15 prospect in the organization. Three years later, he was the #3 prospect, and that season he made the Opening Day roster out of spring training. He made his debut on Mar. 30 at the Miami Marlins. He went five and a third innings, allowed three hits, three runs, walked two and struck out 10 as the Pirates won 9-3. “It really wasn’t really a phone call; it was a spring training meeting,” said Jones about making the Opening Day roster. “I made the team out of camp. I

La Mirada dominates Norwalk behind Cuevas, Fregoso and defense
LOREN KOPFF Sports Editor @LorenKopff on X
Norwalk could not get past midfield. In fact, the Lancers ran 25 plays in the half but were able to pick up 61 yards. “Just little mistakes,” said Norwalk first-year head coach Anthony Cobbs. “It’s part of the process; we’re still in the process of learning this passing offense. We want to run the football, we want to throw the football, we want to get guys in space. We lack that go-to superstar, so we have to develop a bunch of young guys who haven’t had that type of pressure and have been put in those situations. It’s not excuses; it’s just the reality of it all, that we’re trying to create football players.” La Mirada drove to Norwalk’s oneyard line on its opening possession of the game but on fourth and goal from the three-yard line, a bad snap from center erased any chance of the Matadores scoring. However, almost four minutes later after the defense created a three and out, Cuevas found junior wide receiver Adan Tedrick for a 23-yard connection and the hosts had a 7-0 lead. Again, the Matadores drove deep into Norwalk territory but another bad snap from center, this time a 27-yard loss, pushed the team back to the 32-yard line as the second quarter began. Sophomore wide receiver Kaiden Wardlow hauled in a 31-yard reception but on the next play, La Mirada was stopped on fourth and goal from the one-yard line. “We get to the red zone, and we have two snaps over our heads,” said Mealy. “That’s big for us and we have fix that; clean that up. We’re kind of going back and forth with our centers.
We have to make sure we fix that going into Bellflower [on Friday] because Bellflower is a good quality opponent. We can’t leave points on the board, but ultimately, we’ll clean it up. It’s early in the year and we have to make sure we’re better at it.” Still, La Mirada’s defense bailed out the offense with another three and out and on the fourth possession, Cuevas connected with Wardlow for a 20-yard touchdown play and it was 14-0 with 8:46 left in the half. The Matadores scored twice in the final 65 seconds of the half as Fregoso scored from 22 yards out, then following the third three and out from the defense, Fregoso hauled in a 52-yard scoring strike from Cuevas on fourth down as time expired. Just in the first half alone, Cuevas was 13 of 17 for 252 yards and connected with five receivers. “Ultimately we have some players who can play football,” said Mealy. “From receivers to tight ends to running backs…we have guys who can catch the ball and move and get into open space. Isaac’s job is to find the guy who is open, and ultimately if we do that, then we’ll be alright.” Fregoso added another touchdown, this one from 13 yards out, just past the midway part of the third quarter and senior Christian Hecker booted a 26yard field goal with 8:21 left in the game under a running clock situation. Norwalk sophomore quarterback Jeremiah Lopez had a pair of 15-yard passes in the first half and one more for 10 yads for the only three plays that
got called into the office; our manager and GM told me I was making the team. “It really wasn’t any different than another start day,” Jones later said of his MLB debut. “Obviously, I had a little bit more nerves because it was my debut and all. But I was just trying to keep it as similar as possible to any other game and went out there and pitched and ended up winning.” Among the friends and family in attendance to see him make his debut was La Mirada head coach Jimmy Zurn. “He was at my debut, and it was cool,” said Jones. “Obviously, it kind of shows the relationship that we had throughout high school and beyond. It was cool to see him out there. “That was always a goal for me; to get drafted in high school,” he later said. “I just went there to have fun and play baseball, and I ended up getting drafted.” This season has been different than his rookie season as Jones is trying to make up for missing the entire 2025 season after tearing his right UCL during spring training. He was placed on the 15-day injured list on Mar. 24, 2025, and transferred to the 60-day IL one week later. “I kind of felt something a little bit off in spring training after one of my outings; the bullpen [session] didn’t really go too well, so I decided to get it
checked out,” said Jones. “We ended up finding out there were some problems in the elbow. I was supposed to try to come back and rehab through it. It didn’t work, so I opted for surgery to make sure everything was all right when I do come back.” He had surgery on May 21, and a year and eight days later, he was activated from the 60-day IL, making his season debut at PNC Park in Pittsburgh against the Minnesota Twins. In that game, Jones worked into the fourth inning, allowing seven hits and five runs while striking out six in a no-decision outing. In his next start six days later, Jones pitched five innings against the Houston Astros, scattering four hits and striking out four while not allowing a run in a 5-1 victory. “It wasn’t fun; I gave up five runs, so it was cool to get the nerves over with,” said Jones of his 2026 debut. “And [I’m] not having a greatest year so far, so I’m just trying to get back on track. Yeah, it sucked; I kind of missed being around the guys, but I’m here now.” So far this season, Jones is 2-6, has started 16 games, pitched over 72 innings, surrendered 66 hits and 39 runs, walked 27 and struck out 83. He is scheduled to start on Friday against the Los Angeles Angels. Recently, he started against the Los Angeles Dodgers in Chavez Ravine on Aug. 22 and pitched
resulted in double-digit yardage. After that, Norwalk had two other plays which resulted in more than five yards. “We found a few ball players; a few kids came up from the [junior varsity team] and played pretty well,” said Cobbs. “Fernando Avina played well; he’ll probably become a starter. Gio Corona played pretty well; he’s also a j.v. guy who we brought up. A couple of guys got banged up, but the positives were that we didn’t give up, and guys kept playing. “We have three more shots of this in the preseason and then it counts,” he later said. “So, this one counted; this one hurts, but that’s a good team over there. La Mirada has always been a good team. They have good athletes, they have a good system, and we have to get to that. We have to get some kids in the neighborhood, [and] we have to get some kids out of the neighborhood. To play this style, we need more athletes.” Norwalk will travel to Pasadena High on Friday, hoping to build off last season’s 42-34 victory over the Bulldogs while Norwalk visits another former original Suburban League member in Bellflower High. Since 2004, La Mirada has won 16 of 19 games against Bellflower including the last meeting in 2024, a 20-6 affair. The last time the Buccaneers defeated the Matadores was in 2011, a 21-7 contest, and the other two victories came in 2006 and 2007. “Pasadena will not be the same Pasadena that’s usually very fast and very deep,” said Cobbs. “They’re not the same; this year they’re lacking the numbers. So we understand that they’re not going to be very strong, but we can’t take them too lightly with the two losses we have. We have to go ahead and take care of business. We have to go out and get the win.” “Bellflower is a legitimate opponent,” said Mealy. “Coach [Keith] Miller over there has some athletes, and I think they have some guys up front. I haven’t broken them down too much yet. We have to make sure we’re prepared for all the different things they do offensively and defensively and special teams-wise.”

NEWS AND NOTES FROM PRESS ROW:
Cerritos hopes to end season’s slow start and get first win over Valley Christian By Loren Kopff @LorenKopff on X It hasn’t been the beginning to the 2026 season that either Cerritos High or Valley Christian High had hoped for. Through the first two weeks of the season, both have a combined 0-3-1 record as they face each other on Friday in the HMG-Community News Game of the Week in the season debut of V.C.’s popular tri-tip sandwiches. Cerritos is coming off a 7-3 loss to ABC Unified School District rival Gahr High last Friday in which all the scoring took place in the fourth quarter while the Defenders were blanked by Mary Star of the Sea High 34-0. This will be the sixth meeting between the schools with Cerritos looking to defeat V.C. for the first time. This is also a meeting of a pair of schools who each have won a CIF-Southern Section divisional championship within the past four seasons. Last season, V.C. came away with a 42-23 victory as it outscored the Dons 21-6 in the second half. Senior quarterback Graham Lunzer accounted for all six touchdowns, scoring on four rushes of no more than 10 yards and threw a pair of touchdown passes of 43 and 42 yards. Through the first two games, Lunzer has completed 21 of 44 passes for 277 yards and three touchdowns but has been picked off three times. Last season, Lunzer threw six interceptions in 11 games. Lunzer also leads the team in rushing with 58 yards and 23 carries with a pair of touchdowns while senior wide receiver Byron Louis leads the team with eight receptions for 136 yards and a touchdown while senior tight end Sam Melcher has caught three passes for 45 yards. Melcher is also the man on the defensive side with 19 tackles while sophomore linebacker Tae Cooley, sophomore defensive back Leonard Graham and sophomore lineman Axel Johnston all have nine tackles. Not to be forgotten is junior Trevor Torres, who has 164 yards in kickoff returns. The Dons, who have fallen to the Defenders in 2013 (42-28), 2014 (38-14), 2015 (48-6) and two seasons ago (28-14), scored their only touchdown this season in the third quarter against Cypress High on Aug. 20, an 80-yard touchdown pass from senior quarterback Alex Laurin to

since I signed in 2020 and it was pretty cool to have them all out, especially at the stadium where we grew up going to every year. So, it was pretty fun.” Jones made 22 starts in his rookie season, finishing with a 6-8 record, striking out 132 and walking only 39 while sporting a 4.14 earned run average. One could say that his rookie season probably made up for not completing his senior season with the Matadores. His senior season was cut short after three starts because of COVID-19. In the three games he appeared in, he pitched 17 innings, struck out 28 and walked half a dozen. For his La Mirada career, he went 20-6 with seven complete games, five shutouts, struck out 255 and walked 78 batters. His better seasons were in 2018 and 2019 when he combined to go 14-3 in 24 games and struck

Prediction: V.C. 28, Cerritos 14 IN OTHER GAMES ON FRIDAY: Gahr (1-0-1) @ Artesia High (2-0)-In the second ABC Unified School District in as many weeks, Artesia hopes to remain hot and defeat the Gladiators for the first time since 2013. Since 1998, Gahr has defeated the Pioneers 14 times in 20 meetings. The two did not face each other last season and two seasons ago, Gahr came away with a 34-7 win in the CIFSS Division 13 quarterfinals. In fact, the Pioneers have scored less than 10 points in each of the last four meetings. Artesia defeated Hacienda Heights Wilson High 28-12 last Friday after easing past Gabrielino High 38-0 the previous week. Prediction: Artesia 28, Gahr 17 John Glenn High (2-0) @ California Military Institute (0-2)-Last season began with two straight losses before the Eagles won their only two games, one of which was a 14-0 homecoming win over CMI. Already this season, Glenn is off to the program’s best start since 2023 when that team, coached by former Norwalk High star Elijhaa Penny, won the first three games and six of the first seven. Last Friday, the Eagles cruised past Century High 31-6 as junior quarterback Ryder Perez threw a 15-yard touchdown pass to sophomore wide receiver Kellen Huckelberry and scored on a two-yard run as the Eagles went up 21-0 after the first quarter. In the two games, Perez has accounted for five of the team’s seven touchdowns. CMI came up short in a 21-20 loss to Firebaugh High last Friday as all the scoring was produced in the second half. Quarterback Noah Deporto completed 11 of 18 passes for 145 yards and a touchdown while Alakai Santiago-Carmichael rushed for 115 yards on 16 carries and scored the other two touchdowns. This will be the first home game of the season for the Rough Riders who hail from Perris. Prediction: Glenn 28, CMI 13 La Mirada High (2-0) @ Bellflower High (1-1)-After taking care of one former Suburban League opponent last week in a 38-0 win over Norwalk High in which La Mirada outgained the Lancers 351-88 through the first three quarters, the Matadores go on the road against another former Suburban League foe who they have won 11 straight games against. The last meeting between the schools came two seasons ago and La Mirada prevailed 20-6. The last time the Buccaneers defeated the Matadores came in 2011 by a 21-7 result. Last Friday, Bellflower fell to Trabuco Hills High 28-24 as the Mustangs rallied from a deficit of 17-8 after three quarters and was trailing 24-21 in the fourth quarter to scoring the winning touchdown with less than a minute remaining. Quar-
terback Elacion Saxton was 16 of 25 for 179 yards and three touchdowns. The previous week, Bellflower was all over Santa Ana Valley High 42-7. Prediction: La Mirada 35, Bellflower 21 Norwalk (0-2) @ Pasadena High (02)-It hasn’t been the season that first-year head coach Anthony Cobbs was looking for as the Lancers have been outscored in their first two games 98-7. Cobbs, who runs a different offensive style than the run and shoot activities that the program has been used to for years, is still moving parts here and there and trying to find some consistency. A trio of quarterbacks-seniors Chazz Barnhill and Johnniele Madera and sophomore Jeremiah Lopez-have combined to complete 16 passes in 43 attempts for 113 yards and have found seven different receivers while seniors Jordan Ballinger and Erick Dominguez have combined for 128 yards on the ground. Pasadena is in a similar situation, having lost to Golden Valley High 47-8 in the season opener and to Kennedy High 44-0 last Friday. In the other meeting between the two teams, Norwalk defeated the Bulldogs 42-34 almost a year ago. Prediction: Norwalk 21, Pasadena 7 Last week’s predictions: 4-1 Season to date: 7-4 GIRLS FLAG FOOTBALL Artesia suffered their worst loss of the season in a 48-0 setback to Long Beach Wilson High this past Tuesday. The Pioneers (2-2) will host Cerritos in the Mid-Cities League opener on Wednesday. In a battle featuring the two of the hottest teams in the area, Cerritos knocked off V.C. 20-2 to improve to 6-1 while the Defenders, in their first season of fielding a girls flag football program, dropped to 4-2. V.C. had defeated its previous two opponents by a combined score of 62-0. The last time the Defenders were scored on came in a 24-6 win at Artesia on Aug. 24. V.C. also dropped a 49-13 decision to Millikan High this past Tuesday and went to Rosary Academy on Sept. 3. Before travelling to Village Christian High on Tuesday. After dropping its Gateway League opener to Warren High on Aug. 26, Gahr (6-1) defeated Mayfair High 6-0 this past Monday and will visit Long Beach Jordan High on Tuesday and California High the next day. Glenn (3-3) defeated South Gate High 33-25 this past Monday and will be off until Wednesday when the Eagles visit city rival Norwalk, which fell to Sonora High 37-6 this past Tuesday. The Lancers remain winless in eight games and have scored 13 points this season. La Mirada (1-2) visits Santa Fe High on Saturday for its only action until host-
ing Paramount High on Sept. 14 while Whitney High (1-7) hosted Alhambra High on Sept. 3 and will welcome Whittier High on Wednesday. GIRLS VOLLEYBALL Artesia swept Montebello High this past Tuesday to improve to 3-4 as the Pioneers will go to Long Beach Jordan on Friday before hosting La Mirada on Thursday while Cerritos (4-1) got past Whitney 25-18, 21-25, 25-19, 18-25, 15-11 this past Monday and hosted Pacifica High on Sept. 3. The Dons will then spend the next two days participating in the Whittier Tournament before travelling to Troy High on Tuesday. Two days later, Cerritos will entertain Gahr, which fell to Sonora 22-25, 25-14, 20-25, 22-25 for its second loss in 13 matches this season. The Gladiators will participate in the Whittier Tournament on Friday and Saturday before entertaining Fountain Valley High on Tuesday. Glenn (2-3) was swept by Workman High this past Tuesday and will host Long Beach Cabrillo High on Tuesday before going to Lynwood High on Thursday while La Mirada (3-8) fell to Pioneer High in four sets this past Tuesday. The Matadores will go to Diamond Bar High on Tuesday, Norwalk swept California High 2512, 25-11, 25-21 to increase its record to 7-4. The Lancers hosted Western High on Sept. 3 and will be the third area team competing in the Whittier Tournament before welcoming La Habra High on Tuesday and visiting La Serna High on Thursday. V.C. improved to 6-3 with a 27-25, 25-15, 25-8 win over Bishop Amat High this past Tuesday, the fourth sweep this season. The Defenders are home to Ontario Christian High on Tuesday while Whitney (10-5) hosts Oxford Academy on Thursday.
out 193 batters. “We won a lot of games,” said Jones. “A bunch of guys who I grew up with and [being] on the same high school baseball team was pretty fun. We were pretty good. “There’s only one high school in that city, so I guess if you live inside the city, you more than likely are going to that high school,” he later added. “I feel like we’ve always had a pretty good sports program there and people from outside of La Mirada want to end up going there for sports.” During his four seasons at La Mirada, the team went 56-17-1 and again, it’s hard to believe that Jones is the first La Mirada player under Zurn’s watch to have played for an MLB team despite the dominance of the Matadores. Since Jones graduated, the program has gone 134-40-1 and has won at least 21 games each time. “There weren’t really words of en-
couragement; he just let me go out there and play,” said Jones of Zurn. “We had really good teams in high school and there weren’t really too many talks of encouragement. We just went out there and won.” After the start Jones had to the 2020 season, it’s hard to believe it was cut so short because of the pandemic. Considering what he had done in his sophomore and junior seasons, Jones was already on pace to have a stellar senior season. Despite COVID beginning in the middle of March, Jones believes that it had no bearing on the draft or where he got selected. “I don’t really think it affected the draft,” said Jones. “I felt like I could prove that what I did in years before that I’m a pretty good baseball player. So, I don’t think it affected me too much. But having a season cut short because of a virus or whatever you want to call it wasn’t very fun for either me or my
teammates. That could have been their last year of playing baseball and it got cut short.” With less than a month remaining in the regular season, the Pirates are five and a half games out of the final wild card spot. Pittsburgh has not made the playoffs since 2015 when it lost to the Chicago Cubs 4-0. Jones is hoping he and fellow teammates Braxton Ashcraft, Bubba Chandler, Oneil Cruz, Bryan Reynolds and Paul Skenes can end the team’s playoff drought. “We have a bunch of really good guys around here, so it’s easy to root for people,” said Jones. “I think we’re a pretty good baseball team, and stuff really hasn’t gone our way this year. But luckily, we have a lot of guys coming back next year; not too many roster changes will need to happen. We’re just trying to get the guys healthy throughout the year and keep them there. Next year will be a lot better than this one.”

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.

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 non-payment 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. Nonresidential 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 202324 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.

SUMMARY OF ORDINANCE NO. 1177 AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA FE SPRINGS REPEALING SECTION 10.23 (CITY SEAL) AND ADDING CHAPTER 12 (USE OF CITY SEAL, CITY LOGO, AND CITY INSIGNIA) TO TITLE I (GENERAL PROVISIONS) OF THE SANTA FE SPRINGS MUNICIPAL CODE Notice is hereby given that the City Council of the City of Santa Fe Springs will consider adoption of Ordinance No. 1177, at their regular meetings on September 15, 2026 and October 6, 2026, which repeals existing Section 10.23 of the Santa Fe Springs Municipal Code relating to the City Seal and adds a new Chapter 12 to Title I establishing regulations governing the use of the City Seal, City Logo, and other City Insignia. Ordinance No. 1177 establishes the City Seal, City Logo, and City Insignia as official property of the City of Santa Fe Springs and provides standards for their authorized use. The Ordinance identifies the City Clerk as custodian of the City Seal, City Logo, and City Insignia and authorizes the City Manager to administer policies and regulations governing their use. The Ordinance provides that the City Seal, City Logo, and City Insignia may generally be used only for official City business or other City-related purposes authorized in writing by the City Manager or designee. It also establishes provisions governing their use by City officials and employees, on City documents and materials, and on City vehicles, equipment, and property. The Ordinance further prohibits unauthorized reproduction, display, distribution, sale, or other use of the City Seal, City Logo, or City Insignia without prior written authorization. It prohibits their use in campaign materials supporting or opposing a ballot measure or candidate for public office and prohibits deceptive or fraudulent uses that could mislead the public regarding City authorization or endorsement. Unauthorized use may constitute a misdemeanor and may also be subject to other civil or criminal remedies available to the City. Ordinance No. 1177 has been determined to be exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3), as the Ordinance will not result in an environmental impact. The Ordinance will take effect thirty (30) days after its final passage by the City Council. A certified copy of the full text of Ordinance No. 1177 is available for public review in the Office of the City Clerk, City of Santa Fe Springs. Published at Los Cerritos Community Newspaper 9/4/26
