Fourth annual Marine car wash raises over $2,600

A 1st CEB Marine hoses down a car after following a wash while his fellow marines finish the car in front.

By Jerry Bernstein Once again the citizens of Cerritos and adjacent communities showed their support for our men in uniform by having their cars washed at the 4th Annual CEB car wash last Saturday held in the parking lot of the Cerritos Center at the corner of South and Gridley Streets under the leadership of Lew Woodson's. Sponsored by the Friends of the 1st Combat Engineer Battalion stationed at Camp Pendleton, volunteers worked diligently to coordinate this year's car wash while others donated baked goods and hot dogs. Chick Fill provided lunch for the marines and volunteers that included Whitney High Key Club members. The Marines collected $2,477 in cash and another $215 in checks for a total of $2,692. The money will go into the Marine Corps Birthday Ball fund to be held for them until they return from combat duty in Afghanistan sometime next year when they will celebrate a safe [See CAR WASH Page 8]

Norwalk hosts Vietnam Moving Wall, honors city’s fallen heroes By Helen M. Brown Amid flashing lights, horns, and sirens, the Vietnam Moving Wall arrived in Norwalk Aug. 19. The Wall, a half replica of the original, was erected on the lawn of City Hall at 12700 Norwalk Blvd. and open 24 hours continually until Aug. 22. This event was made possible Mayor Gordon Stefenhagen, the City Council, Norwalk Community Coordinating Council (NCCC), and many generous and outstanding contributors and sponsors. The three-day event included guest speakers, military bands, exhibits, displays, and military vehicles. There was the Opening Ceremony on Thursday evening (Aug. 19), A Candlelight Ceremony on Saturday evening, and a Closing Ceremony on Sunday. From the beginning of the war in

1959 until the end in 1975 there were 58,159 American lives lost. Norwalk alone lost 53 of its young men. On Saturday evening Aug. 21st these 53 fallen heroes were honored with a Candlelight Ceremony. The emcee for this special event was local businessman Richard Fierro, a Vietnam veteran who served in US Army 1968-1972. While all 53 were honored by a family member or representative four stepped forward to speak of their loved one. Ruth Ellet sister of PFC Frank Blackburn, told of how their cousin Billy Bailey was also serving in Vietnam. He was unable to escort the body home but after a week wait in Oakland the army sent Travis Lampin to escort the body to the family. He spent a week here and was able to tell the family just how their son and brother died. It helped ease the family’s suffering. [See WALL Page 8]

Cerritos Council approves wireless telecommunication facility By Jerry Bernstein The Cerritos City Council at its Aug. 26 meeting approved a request by Blackdot Wireless of Mission Viejo to construct a 60 ft. monopine wireless telecommunication facility in an existing industrial development at 16717 Norwalk Blvd. across from the ABC Unified School District Administration Offices. Cerritos Current Planning Manager Robert Lopez said the monopine would contain three microwave dishes, six panel antennas and one global positioning antenna for wireless purposes. An equipment cabinet will be located below the monopine and will be mounted on a concrete slab with all electrical conduit and cabling being trenched under[See CERRITOS Page 13]

An interview with Congresswoman Linda Sanchez Accuses Republicans of trying to stonewall Congress on economy By Jerry Bernstein “Just before the August break, we were working on a number of bills to create jobs,” stated Congresswoman Linda Sanchez in an interview with the LCCN editorial staff, which she said is called, especially by the Democrats, “The Making of America.” She described them as good bills aimed at leveling the playing field and creating economic incentives to get companies to continue to manufacture here and in some cases to relocate their manufacturing from overseas back to the United States. There used to be tax breaks. However we did close one tax loophole in the education bill. She said there are five or six bills we’re working on and hope to complete when we come back from the August break. Asked to comment on Republican assertions that the country can’t afford to spend more money and what is needed is tax cuts, especially for small business, she accused the Republicans of putting up roadblocks to prevent the Democrats from passing bills that will help the economy-so they can say we haven’t done anything. “It’s the Republicans who aren’t doing anything. They refuse to work with us,” she asserted. Asked what she thinks might happen if the Repub- [See SANCHEZ Page 13]

Artesia Chamber hosts first luncheon By Larry Caballero

first luncheon and welcomed more than 30 business owners and elected officials Artesia Chamber of Commerce Pres- who attended the VIP Chinese Restauident James Kang hosted the Chamber’s rant in Artesia Aug. 26 to hear Small Business Development Center Director Bret O’Connor speak on the resources available for small businesses and the current business trends. “I want to thank everyone for attending our first luncheon,” Artesia Chamber - Artesia Chamber President James Kang Kang said, “and shared the stage with (l-r) Mayor Pro-Tem Victor Manalo, we plan to have Artesia Princess Dominque Torres and Miss Artesia Marlene many more in the Hernandez Vice-President Manu Patel, Keynote speaker Bret future.” Kang O’Connor, Kang, Mayor Tony Lima, Councilmembers Sally told the business Flowers and Michelle Diaz and Artesia Princesses. leaders that he has

spoken with many business owners who are concerned about the current economy. “How long is this recession going to continue, they ask me, and many are concerned about having to close their doors if things don’t improve soon.” Kang shared the Chamber’s goal of promoting businesses and exchanging information with other small businesses. “We have to help each other,” Kang said. O’Connor voiced the same concerns that many businesses have shared with him, but he said his organization is there to assist them to succeed in tough economic times. Most businesses are experiencing a credit crunch and are slashing marketing budgets, but O’Connor thinks this is the time to be creative. “You have to reach out to other businesses who may be willing to partner with you.” He shared an example of a local restaurant near the airport that

partnered with a helicopter company so they could offer customers dinner for two and a helicopter ride for a special rate. “You have to also know your customers,” said O’Connor. “You have to provide the products and services they want, and take advantage of the local newspapers to advertise what you offer.” The Small Business Development Center assists more than 500 clients each year and is part of the Los Angeles Regional Network.

Editor's Turn

Crossing the line

Last week the Hawaiian Gardens City Council imploded when Councilmember Barry Bruce crossed the line of council rules and accused Mayor Victor Farfan of deliberately not notifying members of the council and “arbitrarily” moving discussion of the proposed Sports Complex to be built on Fedde Middle School property forward on the council agenda-while at the same time adding two presentations to the Complex discussion. Bruce was correct in that the Mayor should have notified the council about moving up the discussion of the Sports Complex before the agenda’s Oral Comments and the adding of two presentations to the discussion, including finance options available to the city and contract details with the ABC school district. But this type of move is done quite frequently at City CounDear Editor: There was a wrong accusation by a city councilmember that the college did nothing to inform its students about the new tow-away enforcement which began in June. The College did notify the students several times via posters, emails and web page. Below statement details what was done to proactively warn students about the new parking restrictions. In response to the tow-away enforcement in the Norwalk neighborhoods north and south of the college that began on June 4, Cerritos College students were advised of the new Norwalk neighborhood parking restrictions at the beginning of the summer school term and before the fall semester began in August. In order to help students have a successful school year, Cerritos College took the initiative in sending an email entitled “Fall 2010 Important Announcements for Students” to all new and continuing students. The email included the topic, “Neighborhood Parking Tow-Away Zones,” and important tips for the new semester. The college created a web page www.cerritos.edu/fall2010 that contains important information in early July. It also set up posters in August to advise students of the newly designated restricted zones to the south of the campus. The email was sent out three times,

But to publicly humiliate city employees (the City Administrator, Council members) and consultants at the meeting crossed the line and violated the council’s as well as the state’s code on meeting rules of conduct and decorum. He called City Administrator Ernesto Marquez a stooge of the Mayor, Mayor Pro Tem Michiko Oyama-Canada, and Councilman Mike Gomez. Bruce referred to the three council-members as “Baboons”, accusing them of rubber-stamping anything Marquez proposed. He added insult to injury by referring to the city’s finance advisor Mike Bush as a “long time parrot” of the council. He went on to accuse the three of using the council podium as a campaign podium, ignoring the fact he has been doing that since his election. Councilman Gomez attempted to bring order to the meeting by inter-

He demurred, referring to the council’s own code of conduct and the state code governing meetings. Bruce’s public display of attacking his fellow council not only embarrassed himself but the city as well.

The email was sent out to a total of 36,357 students including those who have applied but not registered for classes. Notice was posted to the College’s daily employee newsletter, and Facebook and Twitter were also used to get the word to students. “I got the email in July and found it useful,” said student Jose Gonzalez. “Otherwise I wouldn’t have known about the tow-away enforcement or the new textbook rental option which is great.” “We are very proactive in preparing our students for the new semester in every way possible,” said Cerritos College President Dr. Linda Lacy. “The beginning of a new school year can be a stressful time for many students but we do our best to ease their challenges and ensure a successful transition.”

More than 1,500 people have been reported sickened by the DeCoster eggs, but the Centers for Disease Control estimates that the actual number may be as high as 45,000. DeCoster lawyer’s admissions that "Contamination is common in poultry operations" and "The notion that eggs will ever be free of salmonella is ludicrous" convinced me that this is indeed an industry-wide problem, and that eggs are not safe to eat. I have found www.vegcooking.com/ vegcooking-eggreplace.asp very helpful in making my transition to an egg-free diet. Conrad Alderman Cerritos Dear Editor:

Several hundred people have come down with Salmonella enteritides poisoning, leading to the recall of 380 million eggs from 17 states by the Wright County Egg Company of Galt, Iowa (www.washingtonpost.com/ wp-dyn/content/article/2010/08/18/ AR2010081805682.html). According to the Centers for Disease Control, more than 100,000 Americans suffer from egg-borne Salmonella infections each year. Common symptoms include diarrhea, abdominal cramps, and fever. Salmonella infection is only the most publicized health effect of egg consumption. An average egg contains loads of fat and 213 mg of cholesterol, key factors in the incidence of heart disease, stroke, cancer, and diabetes. Incidentally, those 380 million eggs were the product of nearly 1,500,000 birds suffering for a year in tiny wiremesh cages that cut their feet and tore out their feathers. Their waste was dumped into a nearby stream, contributing to massive pollution of the Mississippi River, and eventually, to a “dead zone” in the Gulf of Mexico three times the size of the BP oil spill. The good news is that our local supermarket offers a number of healthful, eco-friendly, delicious egg replacers. More details are available at www. chooseveg.com/vegan-substitutes.asp.

CRIME SUMMARY

Weekly crime summary August 23-29, 2010 There were fourteen Part I felony crimes investigated by Cerritos deputies last week, down from twenty-eight the previous one. Robberies and vehicle thefts remained the same, while residential, commercial, and vehicle burglaries declined. There were 264 calls for service handled by patrol deputies, down from 270 the week before. The 2010 weekly average in calls for service is 300. One robbery was reported on Sunday August 29 at 7:47 p.m. A male juvenile entered a restaurant at Studebaker Road and Alondra Boulevard and robbed three other juveniles at knifepoint of cell phones and a small amount of cash. Deputies located and arrested the suspect moments later. Three residential burglaries were investigated last week compared to six the week before. One window was pried, one window was left open, and a side garage door was kicked in. A safe, laptop computers, and cash were stolen. The current 2010 weekly average in residential burglaries is 2.3. Lengthy door knocking and doorbell ringing are utilized in an attempt to determine if anyone is home at the time. This has been used on several occasions in many jurisdictions and is known to precede a burglary. When the door is answered by a resident, the suspect will claim to be lost, solicit some type of service or product, or be mistaken by asking for someone that does not live there. If this happens to you, call Cerritos Sheriff’s Station at once to report a suspicious person. If you observe a person going door-to-door or loitering in your neighborhood, call Cerritos Sheriff’s Station immediately.

There were no commercial burglaries reported last week, down from two the previous week. The 2010 weekly average in commercial burglaries is 2.6. Vehicle burglaries also dropped from six to two last week. A high-volume commercial parking lot was the crime scene in one, and a residential neighborhood the location of the other. One of the vehicles was an SUV. Purses, credit cards, cash, and ID were missing. The new 2010 weekly average in vehicle burglaries is now 6.8. Fitness center lots are always prime targets for vehicle burglars. They know that patrons would rather trust leaving items in the passenger compartments of their vehicles rather than risk using the lockers inside. We have always recommended that you secure your property in the trunk or at your residence and just take in keys, ID, water, and maybe a couple of dollars that can all be moved around with you inside of the gym. If you have an SUV, items should not be left inside. Consider that we see an inordinate amount of vehicle burglaries in fitness center lots versus burglaries of fitness center lockers. We also have two fitness centers in Cerritos. Vehicle thefts remained the same at three last week. All three of the cases were from high-volume commercial parking lots, and two were SUVs. The other vehicle was a Honda. The 2010 weekly average in vehicle thefts is now 4.7. A steering wheel locking device is often the added (and highly visible) deterrent that makes the potential thief look elsewhere.

Maxine Wittig: Norwalk’s loss 1927-2010

By Helen M. Brown On Sunday, July 24, 2010 at 6:30 a.m. Norwalk lost a great lady and one of its greatest volunteers. She was a native Californian and had lived in Norwalk for many years. Maxine was well-known about town and belonged to several non-profit organizations. She and her family have been long-time members of the First Baptist Church at 14000 San Antonio Dr. For several years Maxine served on the Norwalk Community Coordinating Council board and during that time was elected Norwalk Citizen of the Year. At the same time she served as secretary on the Mayor’s Prayer Breakfast committee. Maxine and her family were also members of the Masonic Lodge where she was active in the Job’s Daughters, White Shriners. She was a Past Betel Guardian 241 Norwalk, Past Worthy Matron of the Order of Eastern Star, Past High Priestess of the White Shrine over the 60 years she lived in Norwalk. Maxine was well known for her culinary talent, especially her giant chocolate-oatmeal cookies and potato salad. You could always depend on her to donate these home baked cookies at every Candidate Forum and also her delicious potato salad at church Potlucks. In 1997 she joined the Norwalk Woman’s Club where she served as Reservations Chairman, Financial Secretary, and held other offices until she suffered a stroke in 2008. She was later moved to Country Villa Health Center at 5901 Downey Ave in Long Beach where she passed away. She also served as secretary for the Mayor’s

Prayer Breakfast committee for several years. She also served on the Norwalk Community Coordinating Council for several years and was voted a Citizen of the Year in the late 90’s.She was preceded in death by her husband George who passed away in 1985, daughter Peggy Harris in 2003 and son Walton (Wally) Wittig. in 2005. She is survived by one son Mike (Patricia) Wittig and one daughter Georgetta (Chick) Santini, six (6) grandchildren and six (6) great-grandchildren. While Mike, Pat and their family, Michele and Bryan are Norwalk residents, Georgetta and her family make their home in Yucaipa. While Maxine was a native Californian, George Wittig was a transplant from Kansas. He served in the U.S. Navy during WWII aboard the USS St. Louis. Until his death he and Maxine looked forward each year traveling to various cities to attend the ‘St. Loo’ reunions with his shipmates. After his father’s death in 1985, Mike was faithful to accompany Maxine to these reunions. George Wittig was a Mason at the Norwalk Masonic Lodge where Maxine soon got involved. She was well-known throughout the region as the “Robe Lady”. He and his family served as active members for many years and Mike and his family are still active there. Viewing was at DeAngel-Bellflower Mortuary Friday, July 30 from 5:00 to 8:00 p.m. A Celebration of Life Service will be held at Masonic Lodge 12345 Rosecrans Sunday, August 1, 2010. The service will be held in the Lodge Room with Pastor Robert Langley of the Norwalk Baptist Church officiating. A reception will follow in the Hall. Maxine will be cremated with her ashes scattered at sea in a private ceremony at a later date. She will be missed; her volunteer work was outstanding.

Fractured teeth causes and implications During routine examinations I will often detect fractures in teeth. The most common areas are your back teeth (molars and bicuspids). These teeth are used to pulverize food, bite into hard candy, hit the occasion pit in pit less cherries, and chew ice. I do not recommend chewing ice-EVER! However, I can’t argue with the rest. Things just happen over time. Teeth fracture because of: 1. Burrowing decay 2. Root canal treatment for dying nerves

3. Unusual clenching or grinding 4. Overbites 5. Trauma and accidents 6. STPD (stupid things people do) 7. Ageing As far as STPD I can think of things like opening bottles with teeth, opening chip bags with teeth, wearing some piece of jewelry in your tongue, chewing ice and hard candy. Examinations will detect fractures when they get big enough to see with a magnifying lens or exhibit unusual light reflections. I use a bite stick or a wet cotton roll to see if there is any tenderness to biting. Hopefully, the tooth will not hurt and I will recommend a restoration to protect the underlying tooth structure. It is established by the root canal specialists that if a tooth is crowned (capped or covered) soon enough, only twenty percent will need future root canals. The percentages just go up the longer an untreated fracture exists. Fractures never heal or go away. That is why your dentist checks your

teeth very closely. Fractures often do not hurt until the break occurs. When the break occurs it can be a simple chip or a fatal shear fracture through the middle of the tooth. Fractures can injure the nerve in the root canal. That is why the root canal is treated, filled and sealed. It is a must for the tooth to be returned to normal function with a build-up and a crown. I have seen hundreds of rotting teeth with old root canals that were never restored with a crown. Get your kids started early with dental visits. Today we fill cavities very conservatively with bonded resin (white) filling materials. This will keep the tooth stronger throughout one’s lifetime and may prevent fracturing from developing. As a kid I had average size silver/mercury fillings placed (everyone did at that time). They weren’t big, but as time wore on my teeth weakened and I eventually needed four crowns to repair the damaged teeth. This is very typical of people my age. Finally, let’s talk about longevity. I am

sure that prehistoric people did not worry about fractured teeth and aging. By the time they were 30 they were old and started dying. Teeth usually do not start fracturing until you about age 40. Today my practice enjoys treating hundreds of people in their seventies, eighties, and nineties. Their teeth become “work hardened” and brittle. Fracturing occurs more often. Fortunately, dentists can routinely repair these problems so we can continue to enjoy eating and socializing for years to come. For answers to your dental questions, contact Douglas Urban, D.D.S.

Logo La Palma resident win prestigious national championship Logistics, Inc. Long Beach to Catalina and back jet-ski race.

By Loreen Berlin

a Palma resident Kim Bushong, with Personal Water Craft Off Shore Racing (PWCOFFSHORE), is the winner of the 2010 Long Beach to Catalina and Back (LB2CAT) Offshore National Championship Race. Bushong, who said he is generally in the middle of the top 10 PWC competitors, thought that this time he might be in the top three but had no idea he'd

end up placing first. "It was shocking," Bushong said of his win, in a personal interview for the La Palma Community Newspaper. "I'm just a steady eddy – and two of my good friends, Mark Gerner and Pat Roque, were in front of me in the second half of the race, but their PWC's broke down," he said. "My boat wasn't highly modified, so I was able to come through on the race; I'm very consistent, have a high pain threshold, and have a lot of endurance." Bushong has been riding PWC in

the ocean since 1998. "Riding fast in the ocean is more difficult – it's a totally dif different story than other waters," he said. "It's always been a Southern California person who has won the LB2CAT since it began in 1994, because they know how to ride the ocean," Bushong said. Bushong is no stranger to the ocean or to the ride to Catalina, as he said he enjoys the ride and used to make the trip many times on his own before he entered the race. "I must have ridden that 150 times before I entered the contest," he said. Then, in 2002, all of that changed when he read about the race in the PWC Magazine. There were 50 riders that year. "I had the slowest machine and came in fourth place," Bushong said. "This is the best I've done; I've placed 4th a couple times and 6th place twice along with 7th and 8th place also," he said. This time, in 2010, there were 42 PWC riders; that number is down from the late 80s, and in 1994 where there were more than 100 people participating in the race. "It was big then, but now it's holding steady," he said, noting that the economy has affected the race. "In recent years a new 'sportsman' class has been offered at a reduced entry fee, to encourage first-time racers," Bushong said. "I encourage anyone interested in the sport to come down and give it a try; you don't necessarily have

WALL from page 1 Pamela Sue Delp, wife of PFC Kenneth Delp, traveled from Meza, AZ to attend. She told how she and Ken were high school sweethearts at Excelsior High. They married in December after graduating in June. He had to go into the service in January and was soon shipped out. She had to have major surgery so the army sent him home so they did get to spend one week together. Their dream was to have six children. After Ken’s death, Pamela never remarried but she did go to college and is now a teacher. “We didn’t get to have our six children but now I do have 200 each year.” Kenneth Delp is buried at Westminster. Carlos Gonzalez, brother of Cpl Jose A. Gonzalez, told how in 1970 their family was notified of Jose’s death on Mother’s Day. He read the poem ‘A

By Jerry Bernstein The Cerritos Optimist Club held its 22nd Annual Golf Tournament Aug. 23 at the Rio Hondo Golf Club in the city of Downey raising over $19,000. Approximately 114 golf enthusiasts turned out for the event with the first foursome on the green at 12:30 p.m. following a putting contest and buffet luncheon. First place in the Woman’s Division were Gloria Kappe, Marianne Hughlett, Amy Anderson, and Glaudia Dunn. In second place were Amy Dominguez, Pat Law, Sharon Sargert and Pam Hickok. Placing first in “A” Flight were Frank Martinez, John Acamper, Clarence Stephens and Ernest Vidal. “A” Flight second place winners were Duane Dannacker, Tom Gibson, Robbie Gilbreath, and Wayne Watt. First place winner in “B” Flight were Don Taft, Chris Mellas, Charlie Taft, and Bob Dowell. In second place were Gary McHatton, Tim Sagert, Darren Sagert and Larry Sagert. First place winner in the Senior Category were John Schulte, Tom Reasback, and Dave Kelsey. Placing second were Brody Dunn, Sherman Kappe, Maynard Law, and Phil Kress. Low Gross were the foursome of Max Patel, Arron Buse, Ron Morin, and Steve Hester. The tournament was underwritten by various sponsors, including Weatherford International Oil Company who underwrote the tournament lunch. Gold sponsors were Los Angeles County Supervisor Don Knabe, Baker Inteq-Max Patel, Mi Swaco – Jim Rutledge, and Petroleum Solids Control Inc. – Mike Vignovich and support from local businesses and individuals including 42 Tee Sign Sponsors. Four enlisted marines from the 1st Combat Engineers Group stationed at Camp Pendleton were guest players. Baby’s Secret.’ Leon Powell, brother of Cpl Leslie (Les) Allen Powell, told of his brother’s athletic abilities while attending Santa Fe High and how he was voted MVP while attending Cerritos and playing in their first Conference Championship while playing Utah.. He was captain of the team and drafted to the ABA. He was drafted just before signing his contract. He was sent to a special camp for leadership training and was in reconnaissance. He was awarded the Silver and Bronze Stars and the Purple Heart. The Roll Call of these 53 Fallen Heroes was by Richard Fierro, a Vietnam hero himself. Music for the ceremony was provided by the California Army National Guard Band 40th Infantry Division. Invocation and Benediction was by father John Mohoney of ST. John of God Catholic Church. Presentation of Colors was preformed by US Army Recruiting Station. Pledge of Allegiance was led by Auxiliary President Becky Bullard of American Legion Post #359. The Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington was inspired by Jan Scruggs, an infantryman who served in Vietnam. In 1979, he saw the movie, the “Deer Hunter” and which reminded him “Of the people he’s seen suffer and die in Vietnam.” That night he decided to build a memorial with the names of everyone killed in the Vietnam War. It was completed in 1982. The Moving Wall is a half replica of the Memorial in Washington. It was devised by John Devitt after he attended the annual commemoration celebration in Washington for Vietnam veterans. He felt that he needed to share his experience with those who did not have the opportunity to go to Washington. Devitt, Norris Shears, Gerry Haver, and other Vietnam veterans volunteered to build the Wall. It went on display for the first time in Tyler, Texas, in October 1984.

HEALTH FAIR from page 2 generations, we have worked to keep a simple promise in this country—that those who have worked hard their entire lives have the right to retire with dignity and security, so that they can live in good health and not worry about financial insecurity.” Los Angeles County Supervisor Don Knabe welcomed everyone in attendance and thanked the Congresswoman for her commitment to senior issues. Tri-City Regional Medical Center Director Mary Lou Landes, who has supported the Congresswoman’s Senior Fairs in past years, donated two $250 raffle prizes. Residents had the opportunity to meet with representatives and receive informational literature and gifts from more than 30 organizations including the Alzheimer’s Association, American Red Cross Rio Hondo Chapter, Braille Institute, and the California Department of Insurance. Vendors offered health screenings for asthma, spine, blood pressure, bone density, stroke, glucose, pulmonary function, oral, derma, body fat, cholesterol and carotid. Exhibitors were not permitted to sell products or solicit attendees in any way per Congressional rules. Information and advice regarding elder abuse, debtor’s rights, housing, and health and retirement benefits were provided as well as free consultation with the Social Security Administration, Department of Veterans Affairs, Internal Revenue Service, and other senior advocacy groups. SCAN Health Plan, a nonprofit group that works to keep seniors independent and out of nursing homes, brought its large mobile clinic that provided ultra-sound screening for strokes Congresswoman Sanchez answered questions from concerned seniors on federal issues as the Center for Healthcare Rights provided a Medicare Presentation. A free lunch was served to residents as they enjoyed a lively chair aerobics demonstration. Congresswoman Sanchez promised to continue sponsoring Senior Fairs in neighboring communities so long as there is a need and she remains a member of Congress.

Grandmother won’t rest until killers of her grandson are found

A grandmother mourns the death of her grandson. “I can’t just let it pass while his killers are still free,” she laments. “There was no reason for him to die. Jonathan was only 17 years old.” On Aug. 20, 2008 at approximately midnight Jonathan Muse was riding his bicycle on Pioneer Boulevard under the 91 freeway overpass when he was shot and killed by unknown suspects. According to his grandmother, he was killed by gang members. She related how last year, on the anniversary of her grandson’s death, family members put together a small memorial at the site, which included flowers, a poster and candles. A car pulled up, and several men, who she described as gang members knocked away the small memorial they had set up in her grandson’s memory, ripped apart the poster, then got into their vehicle and drove away. “All I get from the sheriff is they are working on it,” she said. “No one seems to care,” she said. When I asked the sheriff I’m told they’re working on the case, but have nothing new to report. It’s not right,” she added. Detective R. Hernandez told the LCCN the case is not closed and they are working on it. He said the boy died from a drive-by shooting from a rival gang of the Artesia gang. He said the boy was dressed in clothes similar to a gang member and that probably was why he was killed.

can be expected to race in Europe Bushong said, but LB2CAT remains one of the most famous and prestigious races in the world. Bushong plans to compete in the LB2CAT race again next year and will also compete in the Dana Point to Oceanside and Back Race, but his focus is now on Paddling in the Long Beach Harbor by Naples where he is one of the 20-members of the "Space Dragons" dragonboat team. "It's a team sport that I've been doing for the past three years and I'm going to the World Dragonboat Championships shortly in Hungary for the USA Master's Team, and a few weeks later I'll be competing in Shang-

hai, representing a Long Beach composite team," he said. Bushong said that the Dragonboat and outrigger paddling has helped to strengthen him for the PWC Race. More of his background is that in the 80s he competed as a Triathlon Athlete in the first Iron Man Triathlon in Kona , Hawaii , and also led that race in 1982 back when it was on ABC's Wide World of Sports. "It's a tough sport - the Triathlon" - but obviously good training for the PWC race. For information about PWC, visit PWCOFFSHORE. com Loreen Berlin can be reached at loreenberlin@verizon.net.

ARTESIA PIONEERS 3-12 overall last season, 2-10 in the Suburban League, tied for fifth place 19-53 overall last five seasons Head coach: Micah Burpo (third season, 3-25) Key loss: Lise Jacques, Amalla Okaro, Gabrielle Vega Artesia is still seeking its first trip to the California Interscholastic FederationSouthern Section playoffs since 1996 and when last season ended, the prospects of ending that streak looked strong. Bur the departure of Lise Jacques and Amalla Okaro, who would have been key components to the offense, have left the school. Now, head coach Micah Burpo has to go back to the drawing board and hope he has enough to keep the Pioneers away from the bottom of the Suburban League. “I see an improvement in the structure of the program,” Burpo said. “I see a huge improvement in the number of girls that we get, the commitment that they are now willing to put out. There is also a huge commitment to club volleyball as well, which is unheard of in this area.” Burpo said the program will have a dozen players on the varsity team, 14 on the junior varsity and frosh/soph teams

with another 30 trying out, which is night and day from the days when it took until the first day of school to find out who would even try out. The heart and soul to the team in 2010 will be senior middle blocker Ashley Crawford, who will generate at least 75 percent of the points. Crawford will start on the left front and play six of the nine rotations. The team will suffer a bit when she goes to the back row, according to Burpo. Also returning will be senior setter Brigith Geronimo, senior outside hitter Marina Ramos and juniors Holly Holtzer and Kimberly Lee. Burpo said he will move his two returning juniors to the outside to keep the ball in the play. Last season, Holtzer was a backup setter while Lee was a defensive specialist. The top newcomers will be sophomores Faith Devera, a setter, Kyla Kelly and Lorraine Young. “Every year the program gets tougher and requires to be more disciplined,” Burpo said. “We’ve been able to weed out the athletes who are under those types of goals; just having fun and things of that nature. The farther along we get in the program and the more years we get behind means the more discipline that’s going to be required. In addition, based on numbers, they have to fight for spots and that’s going to be the case this year. “I see us in the fourth or third slot,” Burpo added. “I think Mayfair is going to be strong. We’re not going to be able to put the ball away 100 percent of the time. But we have very good ball control. We have girls, now, who have three years of experience, minimum two years of club experience who are going to be able to play at the higher level.” CERRITOS LADY DONS 25-4 overall last season, 12-0 in the Suburban League, first place Lost to Mayfield in the Division III-A championship, lost to Cathedral Catholic in the Southern California Division III state championship 72-41 overall last five seasons Head coach: Khanh Vo (fourth season, 50-22) Key losses: Samantha Adams, Janice Chung, Jade Garrett, Jenny Ho, Lisa Hom, Jackie Trimble Sometimes the best athletic season for a team in high school history comes with a high price the following season. For Cerritos, it will have to deal with loss of four starters plus other supporting cast members. But never fear with head coach Khanh Vo at the helm. He feels he still has enough for another successful season which could lead to another great run in the postseason. “I had a chance to see them in the spring time after the boys season,” Vo said. “I had about one to two months to work with them. They actually look

pretty similar to last year’s team. Even though we have new players, the system is still there. They’re still committed and they’re a hard working group. We’re trying to build off of last year.” Senior outside hitter Cherise Kam and senior middle blocker Jessica Wu, who was an outside hitter last season, are the two main returning players in the lineup. The Lady Dons also return senior outside hitter Jhea Illo, junior outside hitter Susan Suski and junior setter Trisha Justiniano. The big replacement will be in the setting position where Justiniano and senior Telena Vo have to fill in the void left by Samantha Adams. Cerritos will run a 6-2 offense and the fourth-year head coach says the blocking will be better while the offense will be modified a bit; more complicated than in the past. As of now, the starting lineup will be Justiniano, Kam, Vo, Wu and a pair of sophomores-middle blockers Arnelle Duru and Bali Leffall. “Jessica is going to have to fill [2009 graduate] Jenny’s [Ho] role, which I believe she can,” Khanh Vo said. “Cherise is going to have to fill [2008 graduate] Kristabelle’s [Tamula] role. I think this year, Susan is going to fill Cherise’s role from last year.” So, the big question is can the Lady Dons win a second consecutive Suburban League title knowing they have a bigger bulls-eye on their backs? As was the case last season, Mayfair and La Mirada will have something to say about that. “We felt like that last year,” Khanh Vo said. “When we had a strong start to the Gahr tournament, we had a similar target on our backs. I often saw coaches from other teams who were scouting us. I don’t think it’s anything new. “I think it makes me hungry,” he added on repeating. “You never really know what you can achieve until you achieve it and once you achieve it, you want that feeling again. We have that extra drive in trying to prove that’s it’s not just a oneyear thing.”

Molding the attitude in real life is knowing what being a champion is all about. “You can’t let mediocrity linger on very long and the difficult part is we haven’t won a league championship in so long,” he added. “Not everybody gets to a league championship. What you reiterate to the kids is success only breeds success.” The Gladiators will enter this season with an unproven setter as senior Elyse Quiones and sophomore Natalie Dilorio are varsity rookies. Okamoto said both of them are ‘caring people and close to having a setter’s personality’. Senior outside hitter Chelsea Heyward and senior middle blocker Erica Willig figure to give the team a lot of points but don’t rule out the play that senior right side hitter Marianne Tapales could give the team. Senior defensive specialist Katie Christiansen and senior middle hitter Jillian Tiedeman are the other returning players. Another top newcomer, according to Okamoto, might be sophomore outside hitter Aaliyah Heckard if she can score some points. Lack of depth will be a major concern; Okamoto needs his starting seven to be healthy. “I don’t have a dominant player,” Okamoto said. “We need to be a team. We need to be able to pass the ball so Marianne can become very important. Erica has been a very solid non-club player. She will be around every play; she will compete for balls. Chelsea has to carry a little bit more load on her shoulders because she is one of the taller kids.” Gahr has not won a league title since 1998 and since that time, has not won more than seven league matches in any season and during that time has advanced past the second round of the playoffs only once. “The way you be a champion is you act like a champion,” Okamoto said. “Knowing what you have to do to be the best you can be.” JOHN GLENN LADY EAGLES 10-9 overall last season, 6-6 in the Suburban League, fourth place Lost to Gabrielino in the Division III-A first round 38-57 overall last five seasons Head coach: David Cruz (third season, 18-18) Key losses: Carla Acuna, Diana Jimenez, Monica Martinez, Vanessa Ochoa, Alyssa Robledo, Karina Rodriguez The good thing for John Glenn’s girls volleyball program is that is seems to find a way to make the playoffs just about every season. The bad news for head coach David Cruz is that it’s not good enough. He wants more than a fourth place finish but isn’t sure it will happen this season, especially with the likes of Cerritos, La Mirada and Mayfair all contending for a Suburban League title. “I asked the girls if they were content with being .500 and losing in the first round of the playoffs,” Cruz said. “If that’s where we want to go, I would like to know from the beginning. I hope that the girls would want to strive and contend for a league title. To be honest, I don’t know if we have the guns to win league.” The Lady Eagles return only four players, so if a league title isn’t in the cards this season, then they are definitely looking towards the future. Senior middle blockers Arlene Gomez and Sharae Moten are the leaders of this group and as they go, so will the team. Cruz says he will have to try to find a way to have Gomez go all the way around. Senior Gaby Lucero and junior Kimberly Orozco, both of whom will play in the back row, are the other two returning players. With the team losing both of its setters from last season, junior Ericka Sandoval and sophomore Gabby Cruz, the coach’s daughter, will have big shoes to fill. The other top newcomers will be se-

nior defensive specialist Miriam Perez and juniors Denise Ponce and Moshannae Summerise. “Ericka plays a lot like Vanessa and my daughter reminds me a lot of Raquel [Ochoa] of a few years ago,” Cruz said. “My daughter is an athlete; she’s able to cover a lot of ground. Last year she played in the front row but she understands the game and I imagine she’ll do well. “Seeing Arlene on the court and having Sharae…I like my chances,” he continues. “Some teams can hit the ball and those are the Cerritos’, La Mirada’s and Mayfair’s. Other teams just roll the ball over the net; try to get a tip or a roll of the block. I feel we’re in that group right now but I’d like to see our team [be a hitting team].” NORWALK LANCERS 3-13 overall last season, 2-10 in the Suburban League, tied for fifth place 31-64 overall last five seasons Head coach: Quoc Nguyen (first season) Key losses: Alex Gomez, Jennifer Gomez, Jessica Hernandez, Brittany Jimenez, Andrea Lomeli, Alexis Love, Amanda Rosa For the seventh time this century, there is a changing of the guard with the Norwalk girls volleyball program as Quoc Nguyen replaces Ismael Nunez. Since last appearing in the playoffs in 2005, the Lancers have endured four consecutive struggling seasons which includes a combined 9-39 Suburban League record. Nguyen, who was an assistant under Nunez with the boys volleyball team last spring, hopes to changes that around. “I thought it was a huge opportunity,” Nguyen said of the coaching opportunity. “We’re trying to piggyback off of the boys volleyball team, which recently won a Suburban League championship. We’re trying to get some type of a winning tradition going. The thing with me and Ish is that we’re still working together as far as keeping the program similar.” Returning for the Lancers will be senior outside hitters Kassandra Caro, a libero last season, and Joanna Macias along with defensive specialist Priscilla Mendoza, junior setter Crystal Martinez and junior middle blocker Amy Siliezar. Nguyen says Martinez has the highest volleyball IQ on the team. The top two newcomers will be junior middle blocker Michelle Macias and junior defensive specialist Andrea Zepeda. “All of these players haven’t really started a whole season,” Nguyen said. “It’s going to be a more even spread as far as points. I really have high hopes for Michelle. She’s a true athlete out there.” A personal motivation for Nguyen to have a decent season will be the fact that Cerritos head coach Khanh Vo is his brother-in-law and plans to use Vo’s success of last season for his own team. But the Lancers are in the same boat as Artesia and John Glenn, which means fourth

place and an automatic playoff berth will be tightly contested. “Athletically, they can compete but I hope that with their dedication, it will push them to that playoff spot,” Nguyen said. VALLEY CHRISTIAN LADY CRUSADERS 10-12 overall last season, 3-5 in the Olympic League, fourth place 71-52 overall last five seasons Head coach: Erica Streelman (fourth season, 35-36) Key losses: Lea Albers, Brooke Coates, Kiley Trudeau Valley Christian head coach Erica Streelman summed up the 2009 season in one word-heartbreaking. For the first time 1995, the Lady Crusaders failed to reach the postseason. The sub .500 overall record was the first since 2000 and the program hasn’t had a winning Olympic League campaign since 2006. All of that figures to change as this was the first time the team has played in two summer leagues. Starting the 2010 season strong will be the key to V.C.’s season, Streelman indicated. “We left our fate in the hands of Maranatha [last season],” Streelman said. “So, we went to the Maranatha-Brentwood match and if Maranatha had lost that match, we would have had a [play-in] with them for CIF. We were stunned as much as Brentwood was.” This will be the finest squad Streelman has fielded and it will be a special one. Eight players return with half being seniors and the other half being juniors. The Lady Crusaders are loaded with big hitters in seniors Delaney Davis and middle blockers Samantha Hundertmark and Ally Streelman. Mix in junior outside hitters Alexa Chandler and Cassie Palmer, and there’s reason to believe this team will contend for an Olympic League [See VOLLEYBALL Page 12]

championship. Getting them the ball will be senior setter Delayne Rock and junior setter Carley Berkenkamp as V.C. will run a 6-2 offense. The other returning player is junior libero Lexie Romberg. “This is a special group for me,” Erica Streelman said. “It’s going to be an emotional year for me wherever we end up at the end. I’m excited for them. They’re hard workers. My seniors this year do not play club, so that right there will be interesting to see how it all plays out.” The three newcomers will be senior middle blocker Amy Sybesma and juniors Kalei Manzia and Caitlyn Peters. The bulk of the points will come from Chandler, Davis and Sybesma. “As far as hitting, those three outside…it’s always a battle in practice and it’s always ‘who are we going to start’ because we can go to any of them. Someone who is going to help us out a lot is Amy, being six feet tall. With her arms, she’s got the block. If we continue to work on her arm strength, she’s going to be another threat we can use.” The Olympic League will sport a new look this season as longtime nemesis Brentwood as well as Campbell Hall depart and Los Angeles Baptist and Whittier Christian arrive, the latter being the defending IV-AA champions. V.C. still has Brentwood on the schedule as a nonleague match. “It’s nice to have your eyes set on a league title,” Erica Streelman said. “We have great teams in our league. We haven’t played L.A. Baptist yet, so that will be a new team for us. I know what Village has coming in; same thing with Maranatha. Whittier Christian is going to be our mountain this year. They’re going to be the Brentwood [of the past few seasons].”

SANCHEZ from page 1 licans gained control of one of the houses. “It tough to say. We have said to them, if you don’t like this proposal, give us you ideas of what needs to be done.“ She said they had nothing to propose. She said they are still advocating privatizing Social Security, with the downturn of the economy, if Social Security had been privatized when former President Bush proposed it at least one-third of all retirement incomes would have been lost. Asked if there were any Republicans in the House or Senate who would be willing to compromise with the Democrats, she replied there were a few but they are increasingly rare. She cited the case of former Rep. Wayne Gilchrest, a Republican who represented a district in Maryland. A moderate Republican who you could work with and affect a compromise. The party apparently didn’t like the fact he was a moderate and ran an extreme right wing candidate against him in the primary who defeated him. He in turn lost to the Democratic candidate because he was too extreme for the district. If they had just left him alone there would be a Republican holding that seat today. True, a moderate Republican, but a Republican who could work with Democrats across the aisle. On another subject she was asked why supporters of President Obama, who voted for him, are now asking why he isn’t communicating with the people. Sanchez said she didn’t know. “We have done some great things in this session of Congress, but we are not getting credit for it. The reason is the message or communication has not been effective.” She said she doesn’t know what the problem is and that is why she is spending her August break in the District to let the people know what we have done in this session of Congress. Asked how she viewed the coming national election she said the Democrats will lose some seats. She said Democrats won seats in the last election that are traditionally Republican. Those are questionable. She said the Republicans need to win an additional 43 seats to control the House. The Democrats will lose about 25 seats, but still retain control, she predicted. As for the Senate she thinks the Democrats will lose about five seats. She said many of the bills the House has passed are stuck in the Senate. Asked if she thought California’s election was a reflection of the nation, she replied no. California is a separate animal, especially with the present budget deficit in Sacramento. Concerning tax cuts and its effect on businesses, she said tax cuts for those earning more than $250,000 are going to expire. It is written in the bill, the Democrats did not put that in the bill, the Bush administration did. Businesses are not investing, she explained. They are hoarding their money because they are uncertain about the economic future. True, the largest companies have over 1.4 trillion dollars of available cash but are not hiring. “If people had confidence in the economy which is making slow but steady progress, not hoard their money, the economy would be a lot better off.” She said she has talked to local business people in the District and asked them how was their business. Most said it was flat but better than one year ago. She asked if they thought the economic recovery was moving forward and they replied yes, but slowly.

Published at Los Cerritos Community Newspaper 9/3/10 PUBLIC NOTICE OF INTENT TO CIRCULATE RECALL PETITION OF HAWAIIAN GARDENS COUNCIL MEMBER BARRY BRUCE WE, the proponents, of a recall petition hereby, at our expense, give public notice of our intent to circulate and seek the recall of Hawaiian Gardens Council Member Barry Bruce. TO THE HONORABLE BARRY BRUCE: Pursuant to Section 11020, California Elections Code, the undersigned registered qualified voters of Hawaiian Gardens, in the State of California, hereby give notice that we are the proponents of a recall petition and that we intend to seek your recall and removal from the office of City Councilman, in Hawaiian Gardens, California, and to demand election of a successor in that office. The Grounds for Recall are as follows: Councilmember Barry Bruce is a danger to our city. Barry Bruce is against our current law enforcement; his actions will take our city back to the times when we had totally inadequate police. Barry Bruce uses his position for his own personal gains; by constantly promoting his business, using $1,500.00 dollars of city funds to support his unaccredited high school, and needlessly wasting city money at a conference in Palm Springs. Barry Bruce publically humiliates and belittles city staff and residents who question his behavior by calling them liars, ungrateful and ignorant, and has called our Sherriff’s Captain pathetic. Barry Bruce selfishly uses our money to promote himself and moved to make it more difficult for our schools and youth program to receive grants from the city then asked to change the guidelines to allow his church to receive a grant. Barry Bruce now wants to stop work on our city’s Sports Complex. Barry Bruce has described Hawaiian Gardens as a poverty stricken city, full of drug-addicts, alcoholics, and gang members with one of the highest crime rates in the country. A disgrace to our city, Recall Barry Bruce for the youth and safety of all residents of Hawaiian Gardens. A copy of the Notice of Intention to Circulate Recall Petition and proof of service will be filed with the City Clerk of Hawaiian Gardens, CA. Elections Code Section 11023.
