Korean War Veterans Recognition Day Ceremony July 27 at Cerritos Center for Performing Arts

Cerritos Mayor Joseph Cho presents proclamation to Korean War Veterans who recently returned from South Korea in observance of the 60th Anniversary of the War. The proclamation declared July 27 National Korean War Veterans Recognition Day. The group presented the Mayor with a picture of the veterans and members of their families taken in front of the Veteran’s Memorial adjacent to city hall.

City of Bell:

Why cities need a community newspaper

Jerry Bernstein At the Cerritos City Council meeting of July 8, Mayor Joseph Cho issued a proclamation declaring July 27 as Korean War Veterans Day in recognition of a war known in this country as “The Forgotten War.” Mayor Cho stated “Koreans and Korean-Americans have never forgotten the war or the heroic efforts of the Veterans who sacrificed for the freedom and liberty of the Korean People. Although the fighting stopped on July 27, 1953 with the signing of the Korean Armistice Agreement, the Korean War never formally ended. For the last 57 years, the Korean peninsula has been under an ongoing cold war situation which most people prefer not to discuss.” The Korean War began on June 25 1950 when the North Korean Army crossed the 38th parallel at 4 a.m. invading the Republic of Korea [ROK]. This was a war where 23,615 American fighting men were killed in action defending a country they knew little about and a people they did not know,

It was years ago that Bell had a community newspaper, it was called the Bell, Maywood, Cudahy Community News. I know this because it was part of a larger newspaper group my family owned. Art Aguilar was the editor at the time and, suffice to say, you did not mess with Art. Coincidentally, we sold those papers in 1998, right around the time Bell hired its highly overpaid City Administrator. This is exactly why cities need a vibrant community newspaper. We are the watchdog for the residents, keeping in check what goes on in the city. Johnny-come-lately bloggers have no chance at a story like this unless they are lucky, and then it is not in print. It takes someone like LCCN Editor Jerry [See SALARIES Page 4]

A war where 2,847 died in Prisoner of War Camps. On July 24, 2009, President Obama proclaimed July 27, 2009, as National Korean War Veterans Armistice Day. On July 27, 2009, President Barack Obama signed H.R. 2632, the Korean War Veterans Recognition Act. Prior to reaching the president's desk, the bill passed the House of Representatives by a vote of 421-0 and the Senate by unanimous consent. H.R. 2632 adds the National Korean War Veterans Armistice Day to the list of days on which the display of the flag of the United States is especially encouraged. Mayor Cho's proclamation declaring July 27 as Korean War Veterans Recognition Day is the first of any city in the US. In honor of the Korean War Veterans Recognition Day, the Cerritos KoreanAmerican community will hold a special ceremony at the Cerritos Center for Performing Arts located at 12700 Center Court Drive in Cerritos. The ceremony, which will begin at 10:00 am on July 27, will feature a band from the Republic of Korea Navy along with teams of Honor Guard, and Samulnori (Korean tradition[See VETERANS Page 11]

Funding issues main topic at Hawaiian Gardens Council meeting Larry Caballero

Pirates!

Consent Calendar items on a city council agenda are usually considered routine and are enacted by one motion and one vote, unless discussion is desired. Yet all of the items were removed from the calendar for discussion at the Jun. 13 Hawaiian Gardens City Council meeting because two of the members— Barry Bruce and Reynaldo Rodriguez— had budgetary concerns. “We need to cut consulting costs,” Rodriguez said. “We’re making these firms rich.” Three firms alone, said Rodriguez, received more than $500,000 from the City. “And I’m not counting attorney fees.” Rodriguez wanted to cut these services to provide more funding for seniors, youth, park and recreation projects and to protect the City’s reserve from future economic downturns. Bruce had concerns about the City’s donation policy related to general city contributions to non-profit organizations and local schools. “The guidelines are too general,” said Bruce. “We give grants without documentation and we

need full disclosure to be sure that residents from Hawaiian Gardens, and not only surrounding communities, are taking advantage of the benefits the City provides.” Bruce was concerned that local schools are always expecting Hawaiian Gardens “to rescue them.” In some cases, the program had already expired before the City was asked for funding. “That’s just rude,” said Bruce. He wanted future requests for funding to be made in person and an oral presentation, with a slide show if possible, to the Council once the project [See FUNDING Page 11]

Norwalk City Council approves lien list for unpaid trash fees

Norwalk Rotary inducts new president

By Shelley Henderson

[l-r] Don Skala (outgoing President) with Briant Carcamo. more importantly, he is optimistic about attracting new and energetic young professionals who are looking for an opportunity to feel good about serving their community. His enthusiasm is contagious. He stated that there are so many projects that can help fulfill that need to belong to a community that cares about itself. The club meets every Wed at noon at the Sizzler (Imperial & Pioneer). The new Pres has extended an open invitation to anyone in the community who would like to learn about Rotary to join them for lunch any Wednesday, or call membership chairperson, Reyhan Belici @ 562-822-1487.

Briant Carcamo has been inducted as the President of the Norwalk Rotary Club for the Rotary year 2010/2011. At a luncheon at Bruce’s outgoing Pres, Don Skala, commented that the Norwalk club has had a lifeline twice that of the incoming Pres. Although he may be young, Carcamo, is well experienced about Rotary, having attended the RYLA (Rotary Youth Leadership Awards) camp when he attended Norwalk High School. He was also once a recipient of a Rotary Scholarship. He was in the process of creating a community based Rotary Club when he was recruited into join the already long established Norwalk Club. Briant brings a fresh outlook to what Rotary can do for the community. But

Winning lottery ticket sold in Cerritos A lottery ticket recently sold in Cerritos is worth $210,214, the California Lottery said today. The ticket has all five winning numbers out of the 39 numbers possible in the Fantasy Five game. Saturday night's drawing picked 7, 10, 16, 36 and 39. It was sold at the Cerritos Market Store, 12606 South Street, lottery officials said.

At its regular meeting on July 20, three members of Norwalk City Council voted unanimously to approve a list of properties with unpaid trash fees and send that list to the Los Angeles County Tax Assessor to place a lien on each property. Two members of the Council were absent for the vote. A lien for unpaid city fees clouds a property’s title. The lien must be paid before the property can be sold. According to a staff report, 1,678 notices adding up to $402,000 were mailed on March 31 to property owners with unpaid trash fees. Of that number, 1,206 remain unpaid, adding up to $318,000. A lien will be placed on all properties with fees not paid by July 31, 2010. In other business, the Council confirmed approval of two items in this meeting’s consent calendar that first came up for a vote at its last meeting on July 7. Both needed a second vote to become effective. The first item, Ordinance No. 101631, amends the Norwalk municipal code in regards to charity car washes. At the prior meeting, Councilman Michael Mendez noted that the city had no choice because restrictions on water runoff were mandated by the State of California. Without the change, the City would be open to huge state fines. He worried that schools would find it harder to raise funds. Councilman Jesse Luera expressed concern for families raising money to pay for funerals. Councilwoman Cheri Kelley wor-

ried about the safety of children trying to catch the attention of drivers. Councilman Rick Ramirez asserted that it will be hard to educate the public about the change, and that the new ordinance will need consistent enforcement. Despite these concerns, the ordinance passed unanimously at the July 7 meeting and received final approval at the July 20 meeting. The second item, Resolution No. 1024, amends the 2010-2011 City budget to pay for a school resource deputy and matching funds to qualify for a grant for upgrades to Vista Verde Park. The same resolution called for a reduction in hours of operation at the Norwalk Senior Center due to lack of funds. As discussed at the July 7 meeting, the City expects that at least part of the expense for the school resource deputy will be recovered from a U.S. Justice Department Justice Assistance Grant (JAG). The City’s 2010 JAG allocation is $61,505 but the funds have not yet been awarded. The resolution passed unanimously at the July 7 meeting and received final approval at the July 20 meeting without further discussion. The last item of Council business, a request to waive property maintenance enforcement fees for the property at 16105 – 16115 Norwalk Blvd., was delayed to the next Council meeting at the request of Councilman Luera because of the absence of Councilman Mendez. A roll call vote on Councilwoman Kelley’s motion to deny the waiver was already in progress. Mayor Gordon Stefenhagen agreed to the delay over Kelley’s objec[See NORWALK Page 11]

By Jerry Bernstein Recently a petition was submitted to the Hawaiian Gardens City Clerk recalling Councilman and former Mayor Mike Gomez. Unfortunately for the backers of the petition there were only 10 signatures on it, not the required 20. In addition some of the signatures were ruled invalid. The person who instigated the recall apparent reasons for trying to remove Councilman Gomez are apparently revenge for having been terminated from his city job. Will he try again? Speculation is that he hasn’t given up. A look at Councilman Gomez’s record since he has been on the council shows no reason for his being recalled. For that matter none of the council members, at this time, deserve to be recalled. This writer has covered Hawaiian Gardens for the past 13 years. Many changes have occurred in the city. All good changes. Many problems and complaints have been addressed. Residents no longer fear for their safety. Children can now play outside without the fear of being hit by a speeding car or a stray bullet. This isn’t to say everything is perfect. Much remains to be done. But, as they say, “Rome wasn’t built in a Day.” This brings us back to the city council. No one is perfect and that includes city council Members. They may disagree on issues, but hopefully that all agree that serving the city the best they

can is their priority. A recall petition should have good reasons why it is being circulated. It should not represent revenge. If there is another attempt to recall Councilman Gomez or any of his colleagues on the council there had better be a good reason. The Hawaiian Gardens City Council is made up of members who are new to the world of governing a city. The only veteran is Mayor Pro Tem Michiko Oyama-Canada. You don’t learn the in-andouts of city government immediately. It takes time. Not only does a councilmember serve on the city council, but he or she also participate in such organizations like Contract Cities, The League of California Cities and their different committees which councilmembers are assigned membership. There are also state and county laws which councilmembers need to be aware of and how they affect the city. In so many words, when an individual is elected to the city council, he or she does not just become a member of city government but becomes part of the system that governs the city, county and state. There are conferences and meetings to attend. Some are formal and others are informal where a lot of networking is accomplished. An example is the annual Contract Cities meeting held in Palm Desert every year. There are committee meetings, speakers, and in this case time to play some golf, where I might add a lot of networking occurs during the game. Hawaiian Gardens needs councilmemers who know what they are doing, have a good understanding of local government and most of all has the city’s welfare at heart. If there is going to be a recall election, it must be for a good reason, not a trumped up one.

From left to right: Diane Jarecki, vice president of human resources, James Duessent, LBS Financial Credit Union member since 1981 and Lions Club representative and Jeff Napper, president and CEO of LBS Financial Credit Union. LBS Financial Credit Union partnered with the Lions Club International in late 2009 to encourage members and employees of the Credit Union to donate used eyeglasses, cell phones and hearing aids. The items donated are used by the Lions Club International’s Recycle for Sight Program. As of June 2010, LBS Financial’s members and employees have donated over 1,240 eyeglasses, 107 cell phones and 16 hearing aids. Throughout the year, Lions collect used eyeglasses and deliver them to regional Lions Eyeglass Recycling Centers (LERCs). LERC volunteers clean, sort by prescription strength and package the glasses. Recycled glasses are distributed to people in need in foreign countries where they will have the greatest impact. Cell phones and hearing aids are also cleaned and repackaged for use.

The Credit Union focuses on adding value to the neighborhoods they serve throughout the year with volunteer activities and charitable donations. Employees of the Credit Union have been very generous in supporting different programs to help the community, including an annual donation to a select local non-profit group during the holidays each year. “The Lions Club International’s Recycle for Sight Program is a cause that everyone can easily support,” said President and CEO of LBS Financial, Jeff Napper. “It doesn’t require our staff or members to buy anything; just look for eyeglasses and other items they no longer use. Through this program, we are able to give the precious gift of sight to people in other countries.” Members and the public may visit

In their final major tune-ups before embarking on their separate ways for their biggest summer tournaments early next month, the Artesia Punishers 18Gold and 16-Under teams wanted to let everyone know they mean business. Despite slow starts in early June, the two teams had exceptional performances this past Sunday in the Surf City Summer Showcase. The 18-Gold team, managed by firstyear mentor Mark Dupuy, won all seven games of the weekend affair capped by a 3-0 victory against the O.C. Elite this past Sunday. The Punishers were held to nine hits, just the second time all weekend that they did not reach double figures in hits. Brittany Adler (Millikan High School) went two for two and was the only Punisher with multiple hits. The team began the tournament last Friday morning with easy victories against the California Crush, 8-0, behind a 12-hit attack and a 13-0 thrashing of the Colorado Bruins as the Punishers pounded out 17 hits. In the first game, Brenda Bott (Fountain Valley High School), Connie Koenig (St. Joseph High School) and Amanda Olazabal (South gate High School/Mt. San Antonio College) all went two for three while Bri Dupuy (Valley Christian High School) collected four hits in as many at-bats against the Bruins. Last Saturday morning, the Punish-

ers spotted (San Dimas) Team Smith a 4-0 lead after half an inning but scored six times in the bottom of the first and held on for a 7-6 victory. Taylor Gonzalez (El Segundo High School) went two for two and drove in four runs, three on a bases loaded triple. The Punishers wrapped up pool play action with a 10-8 win over the Clovis Rockets as Liz Gonzalez (Millikan High School/Hope International) went two for two while Katie Gripp (St. Joseph High School) and Koenig went two for three. This past Sunday, the Punishers posted wins over the O.C. Dynasty, 4-0, with Adler and Dupuy each getting three hits and the Eliminators, 9-8, as Gripp went three for three. For the tournament, the Punishers smacked 85 hits. The tournament seemed like night and day compared to the previous four major tournaments it had participated in since the beginning of June. In four previous tournaments, the Punishers went a combined 6-10 and failed to qualify for the Amateur Softball Association 18-Gold National Championships in Marietta, GA. Instead, the team is bound for the Western Nationals in Stockton, Aug. 4-8. “Honestly, I think it’s chemistry,” Mark Dupuy said of the turnaround. “We implemented a new workout program. [Coach] Tim [Koenig] has brought a lot to the table on being able to work out on the fields and we’re working more with the batting.” In June, the Punishers went 2-3 in the Surf City Summer Kickoff, then had the same record in a Las Vegas Showcase. Back home, the team went 1-2 in a national qualifier in Hemet before going 1-2 in a regional qualifier

in Roseville. “When we played in the two regionals, our senior leadership wasn’t there,” Dupuy said. “The whole chemistry has changed [since then]. The leadership comes back into place and we’ve increased the work ethic.” Although the 16-Under Punishers, managed by Michelle Medina, struggled in pool play, they rebounded in the playoffs where they went 2-1 to finish the weekend at 2-4-1. “They kind of took the first few games as practice and then kicked it into gear to the end,” Medina said. The Punishers fell to the Dirt Dogs 4-2 and the Nevada Dynasty 6-4 last Friday before tying the Salinas Storm 4-4 last Saturday. The Punishers scored all of their runs in the top of the fourth inning as Lisa Perez (La Mirada High School) doubled in a pair of runs with a bases loaded single, a run scoring single from Rabecca Rice (La Mirada High School) and a ground out from Shelby Unger (El Dorado High School). The team would then fall to the San Diego Renegades 6-1 following the tying contest. This past Sunday, the Punishers slammed the California Crossfire 12-1 behind a three for three performance from Unger and two hits each from Perez and Alex Avila (Cerritos High School). Avila also drove in a pair and scored three runs. Later in the day, the Punishers knocked off the (Seattle) NW Shock 9-1 with three runs in the bottom of the first, second and sixth innings. Perez went four for four, drove in a pair and scored three runs while Avila went three for four, had seven RBI and crossed the plate twice. She hit a pair of three-run home runs to right field. “They’re big hitters; I know pitchers are afraid of them,” Medina said of Perez and Avila. “When they step up to the plate, they make good, strong contact. They may not get on every time but they make good contact with the ball, which is what I like.” Unger would go two for three with a double and score the team’s lone run in the top of the first in a 7-1 loss to the Mystics 94. Kennedy Smith (Fillmore High School) went two for two as the bats were silenced to the tune of six hits. The Punishers began the summer with a two-and-out performance in the Premier Girls Fastpitch Tournament, then went 7-0 in a Las Vegas Showcase and 3-2 in the ASA 16-Under State Tournament. “You can’t keep a streak [like that] alive for that long,” Medina said of the middle two major tournaments of the summer. “They’re going to work hard like they did before in those two tournaments.”

CERRITOS SHERIFF’S STATION

Weekly Crime Summary July 12-18, 2010 There were twenty-two Part I felony crimes reported to the Cerritos Sheriff’s Station last week, down from thirty-one the previous week. Robberies and residential burglaries remained the same, and decreases were noted in commercial burglaries, vehicle burglaries, and vehicle thefts. Despite the drop in reported crimes, calls for service rose from 309 to 340 last week. This is not uncommon during the busier summer months and around the Holiday Season. The 2010 weekly average in calls for service is now 302. GREAT NEWS! For the second consecutive reporting period, there were no robberies reported. Three residential burglaries were again investigated last week for the third consecutive reporting period. Open doors and windows were the entry points in two crimes and a window was pried in the third. Cameras, checkbooks, jewelry, and coins were among the loss items. The current 2010 weekly average in residential burglaries is 2.0. The open window case last week was a second story entry. Just because a window is on the second floor obviously doesn’t make it safer. Thieves will find anyway they can to make you a victim. Remember to secure all doors and windows when you are not inside the home. There were three commercial burglary incidents logged for this reporting period compared to six the week before. Two closed businesses and an open one that had been entered from a rear door were involved. Purses, check books, make-up, electronics, and a hatch absorber were stolen. The 2010 weekly average in commercial burglaries is 2.8 There were six vehicle burglaries reported, down from nine the previous week. High-volume commercial parking lots were the crime scenes in four. Five of the vehicles last week were SUVs and two victims reported GPS units missing. Other items stolen were purses, wallets, cash, laptop computers, and MP3 players. The new 2010 weekly average in vehicle burglaries is now 6.7. Just because a vehicle is parked in a driveway does not mean that is safe from vehicle burglary. Normally, we don’t see vehicle burglaries in residential neighborhoods but occasionally, that does occur. Since there is no way to predict when that will happen, make sure that you never leave any valuable

item in the passenger compartment of your vehicle regardless where it is parked Vehicle theft incidents dropped again last week from five to four. Two of the four were attempts only. High-volume commercial parking lots were the crime scenes in all four. Two were involved SUVs, one a Honda, and one an Acura. The 2010 weekly average in vehicle thefts is now 4.7. We always promote the use of steering wheel locking devices as great visible deterrents, but also endorse the use of tracking devices that can lead to the speedy recovery of your stolen vehicle.

Opportunities Volunteers on Patrol Wanted The Cerritos Sheriff’s Station is seeking Volunteers on Patrol (VOPs). Patrolling the City in distinctly marked vehicles, VOPs assist with crime suppression, traffic control, vacation checks, special events and park security checks. They serve as additional “eyes and ears” for the Sheriff’s Department and train as first responders in the event of a major emergency or disaster. If you are interested in helping Cerritos maintain its reputation as a safe place to live and work, the Cerritos Sheriff’s Station encourages you to apply to be a VOP. For more information, contact the Cerritos Sheriff’s Station at (562) 860-0044, or visit the Cerritos Sheriff’s Station to obtain an application. Block Captains Wanted If you are interested in becoming a Block Captain in the Cerritos Neighborhood Watch, contact the Community Safety office at 562-916-1266. Block Captains act as contacts for the Sheriff’s Department and the Community Safety Division on behalf of their neighbors. They are also responsible for distributing information and do a great deal to promote public safety in Cerritos. Remember, informed citizens who use safe living strategies are safer citizens! We encourage residents, business owners, and their employees to consider joining the Virtual Block Club (VBC). If you are interested in helping our Sheriff’s Department prevent and reduce crime, and enhancing your own personal and neighborhood safety, join the VBC on-line at our website devoted to public safety in the City of Cerritos. We encourage you to share the information with your family, friends, and co-workers.
