18 years of service Norwalk Councilman Gordon Stefenhagen retires
During winter break in 2009, Monirath Siv (center) went to Cambodia's Mon'dul Kiri Province with pharmacy students from International University, Cambodia, to provide free health screenings, diagnoses and medicines.

All-USA Academic Team member, and named a very highly-regarded Jack Kent Cooke Foundation Scholar to name a few.

ABC AF retirees donate $300 to Tetzlaff Special Education class
By Helen M. Brown It was a bittersweet Council meeting on Tuesday, March 22, 2011 when Mayor Gordon Stefenhagen performed the last of his mayoral duties for the City of Norwalk. He was up for election this year but voluntarily stepped down. He said, "After 18 years, it is time to retire." During these last 18 years, Gordon has worked tirelessly for the City and his constituents. He is very organized and dedicated. It will be hard to replace him in the many jobs he has held. He has worked diligently and tirelessly on the many councils and committees he has served on. He instigated and chaired the Night of a Thousand Stars for 13 years. This [See NORWALK Page 15]

The Hawaiian Gardens council approved a one-year amnesty program waiving building permit penalty fees and demolition permit fees to single-family homes and duplex properties that are owner occupied. In his report to the council Community Development Director Joseph Colombo said one of the most prevalent code violations is related to garage conversions and structures that were built without a permit. He said the purpose of the permit is to help protect the citizens homes, neighbors and infrastructure of the City from hazards associated with fire, overcrowding, improper construction techniques or structural failures. He said the program is for those residents that voluntarily notify the City that potential construction activity may have occurred in the past without securing the [See FEES Page 15]

By Jerry Bernstein s part of his 2011-12 budget for the new fiscal year beginning July 1 Governor Jerry Brown has proposed all Redevelopment Agencies in California be closed down by July 1. This has resulted in the cities that have a Redevelopment Agency to transfer agency owned property to their cities. At its Mar. 22 meeting of the Hawaiian Gardens city council, Mayor Pro Tem Michi Oyama-Canada asked if the city’s Redevelopment Agency closed what would it mean to Hawaiian Gardens. City Finance Director David Sung said the city would lose approximately $45 million over a period of 15 years. Sung told the council without the Redevelopment Agency, the city would not have been able to purchase the Carson Avenue site where the city library is lo-

OPINION and LET TERS negotiations. Yep. The "wise" one is done. "Yesterday, I stopped the discussions that I had been conducting with various members of the Republican party regarding our state's massive deficit," Brown opined in a written statement to media members this . "The budget plan that I put forth is balanced between deep cuts and extensions of currently existing taxes and I believe it is in the best interest of California. Under our constitution, however, two Republicans from the Assembly and two from the Senate must agree before this matter can be put to the people,"
Brown said. "Each and every Republican legislator I've spoken to believes that voters should not have this right to vote unless I agree to an ever changing list of collateral demands." The Governor has been pushing for a "special" election that would have allowed US voters to decide on different options on how to get us out of our yearly $30 to $45 Billion Dollar deficit that has become "standard practice" here in the Golden State. What another special election that special interests flood hundreds of millions of dollars into to have us push our fiscal
problems further off the Pacific coast? Brown went on to lament that "Much is at stake, and in the coming weeks I will focus my efforts on speaking directly to Californians and coming up with honest and real solutions to our budget crisis Stop trying to push EVERY SINGLE problem that career politician like you have created back in the face of the average Californian Here is a plan. If Brown can't get a budget deal past by June, we need to ban together to ensure that the next "special" election is one to recall him from office.

Andre Watts in command at Cerritos By Glen Creason I am not worthy to review the scintillating concert performed by the great pianist Andre Watts last week at the Center. It really was a “you had to be there”
kind of an evening because the performance had a truly transcendent quality that defies the human word. Also Watts is simply a genius whose abilities exceed the grasp of mere mortals like me. There were layers of meaning and such abundance of musical texture to the concert that it would take a professor of composition to come close to doing the whole performance justice. Well, maybe a few

physical power, endurance and amazing control, ranging from hugely dramatic to very delicate expressions. After a short intermission Watts gave a us more of the great variety inLizst’ piano compositions, ranging from the modernistic tonal ambiguity of “Bagatelle Ohne Tonart” to the mournful “La LugubreGondola” to the troubled angst of “Schlafos, Frage and Antwort.” “Transcendental Etude No. 10 in f minor” may be the hardest to describe because it was just a musical decathlon of technical demands and range of emotion. The final pieces on the program were from “the Six Grand Etudes After Paganini” which are transcriptions of violin compositions that were wonderfully lyrical and then just filled with pyrotechnics that took the listener to the melodic edge. These are some of the most demanding pieces in all of piano literature but Watts just commanded the keyboard in every shade of expression and thrilled the audience to an honest to goodness ecstasy. He was summoned out for a romantic encore, more Liszt and more raving, standing ovations for a job done better than it can ever be described

humble words on such magnificent work will catch some of the light shone from Watt's beacon on that night. It was completely appropriate that this was an all-Lizst program since that composer has risen and fallen and risen again on the fingers of great artists. Once upon a mid-19th century time Franz Lizst was considered a genius and almost a saint, evidenced by the actual termLizstomania that peaked around 1842 but remained strong for over a century. Then the circling buzzards of criticism had to pick at the legacy of this towering figure but his compositions speak for themselves when played by the right hands. In the hands of Andre Watts the Lizst legacy is shining bright but it is only an artist with his intelligence coupled with vastly superior technical skill and a passionate belief in the music that can properly showcase such demanding material. Andre Watts did not waste any time in the full ninety-plus minutes with lesser material but went right for the biggest challenges and greatest rewards. He warmed with “Concert Etude No. 3, Un Sospiro” which was a country mile from the “sigh” in the title, roaring up and down the big Steinway piano, dynamically filling the hall while crossing his hands on the keyboard and sending arpeggios winging to the back wall of the Center. Hungarian Rhapsody No. 3 in B-flat major” was rhythmic and complex with flavors of the folk music inspirations drawn from gypsy czardas that so influenced Lizst. The “Sonata in b minor” was, as close to the Romantic tradition we know with tones that ranged from glowering menace to delicate beauty. These pieces took tremendous

Sgt. Burt has worked tirelessly to make sure Hawaiian Gardens gets the kind of protection we deserve. He will be surely missed by all who have had the pleasure of working along side him. Please join us at the Wednesday April 6th Neighborhood Watch meeting as we thank him for his past service to our community and wish him well as he moves on to his next assignment with the Lakewood Sheriff Station. We will have a potluck send off for him in the Public Safety Center parking lot from 5-7pm Wednesday April 6.

Choosing the kind of medical care you need depends on your situation. If you are injured or ill, going to the hospital emergency room may seem like an appropriate choice. But if you are not facing a real emergency, you may have other choices. Hospitals typically provide a full range of services for common medical conditions as well as some level of emergency care. Urgent care centers offer medical care for conditions that need attention, but are not life-threatening. And in a doctor’s office, patients usually receive personalized service due to an established working relationship. More than 300,000 Americans are treated in emergency departments daily. Emergency departments care for patients based on severity of illness or injury, not the order in which patients arrive. According to the American College of Emergency Physicians, warning signs of a medical emergency include: • Problems breathing • Chest or upper abdominal pain • Fainting or sudden dizziness • Changes in vision • Uncontrollable bleeding • Coughing or vomiting blood • Confusion or changes in mental status You do not need an appointment to go to the emergency room, but you may have to wait if other patients have more pressing medical needs. Some hospitals post their emergency room waiting times online, so you can check before going to the hospital. You also may want to contact your insurance carrier about coverage for a visit to the emergency room since you could have a higher copay than you would for a doctor visit. What are the differences in services proviced? If you need medical care for a condition that is not a serious, immediate threat to life or health, you may want to go an urgent care center when you cannot see your primary doctor right away. You do not need to have an appointment at an urgent care center. These clinics typically provide treatment for minor illnesses, cuts, burns, puncture wounds, fractures, bites, stings, sprains and strains. They often charge approximately the same as a doctor’s office, or slightly more, with less waiting. These clinics also may of-

Knabe speaks on State of County at Norwalk Chamber breakfast
Norwalk City Council honors Cerritos College for its canned food drive helping families in need
Welcoming Los Angeles County Supervisor Don Knabe at the Norwalk Chamber of Commerce and the City of Norwalk State of the County Breakfast Mar. 31 at the Norwalk Sports Complex were (l-r) Sponsor Michael Smith from Café’ N’ Stuff, Chamber Executive Director Vivian Hansen, Supervisor Knabe and Southern California Edison Sponsor Sylvia Southerland. By Larry Caballero “The numbers just keep getting bigger and our caseloads larger,” said Los Angeles County Supervisor Don Knabe Mar. 31 at the Norwalk Chamber of Commerce & the City of Norwalk’s “State of the County” Breakfast at the Norwalk Sports Complex. “Our caseloads have risen by 22% and there has been an increase of food stamps by 24%, and yet we will keep on trying our best to be the ultimate safety net for those in need.” Knabe admitted that there has been some improvement since the unemployment rate has gone down to 9.7% in the County, property taxes have leveled off and there has been a small increase in sales tax. “We had always planned for a rainy day sometime in the future, but we never anticipated a flood to hit us, and yet we are still in better shape than most counties in the state.” Knabe said the County doesn’t know what it will be able to do until the state
acts in solving the $28 billion shortfall. “Yet cutting Redevelopment Agencies is not the answer when they provide revenues and jobs to our cities. It’s short term thinking,” said Knabe. “Most counties, cities, community colleges and school districts balance their budgets on time, and yet the state is unable to come up with a solution. We have tried to be a partner in all of this, but it’s difficult. Yet, we suffered a 17% reduction without any employee layoffs and furloughs so far.” Knabe stated that cooperation with every bargaining unit in the County made it possible when they all agreed to no cost of living raises. “There are programs that work out there,” said Knabe, “but they get caught up in political rhetoric. All we need to do is to provide a hand up and not just a handout when people are in need of services.” Knabe thanked small business owners for providing jobs. “Small businesses are the heart and soul and blood and guts of the County,” he said.

The Norwalk City Council recognized Cerritos College for its distinguished service to the community at its regular meeting on March 1. The annual Turkey Trot and the Associated Students of Cerritos College's (ASCC) Canned Food Drive have been the college's Thanksgiving time tradition for 13 years, which help families in need. For Turkey Trot, students, faculty, staff and community members donate canned food items to enter the twomile walk/run each year. Many who participate choose to exceed the onecan requirement, while others choose not to participate in the race but donate to the event. ASCC has been organizing the annual canned food drive in which student clubs compete the number of items they collect. Last year, donations collected through Turkey Trot were 1,411 canned food items and $115.25, and student clubs collected over 25,000 items - all of which went to the City of Norwalk's Food Bank to help needy families in the Norwalk area. Members of the City Council thanked student clubs Accounting Club, Court Reporting Club, Kinesiology Club; and the Turkey Trot organizers Dr. Ni Bueno and Debbie

RIGHT: In February, 645 students and staff at Cerritos Elementary set about to compete in the nationwide “Aeropostle 4th Annual Jeans for Teens” campaign. The winning school would receive a $5000 check with the used jeans donated to homeless teens. “It was not the $5000, we wanted the children to look beyond themselves,” stated Estelle Sato, President of the Cerritos Elementary Educational Foundation. The students collected over 2,250
jeans of all sizes that were donated to the Orange County Rescue Mission in Tustin. The pants that were not made of denim fabric were donated to Su Casa in Long Beach. a home for battered and homeless women. Although they were not the national winners, Cerritos was the largest contributors in Southern California “Our students were excited about this campaign and are looking forward to next years’ challenge,” said Sato.

COMMUNITY SPORTS 2011 BASEBALL PREVIEW
John Glenn, Valley Christian hope for turnaround seasons By Loren Kopff
With the exception of Gahr, which is always a sure lock to advance to the California Interscholastic Federation-Southern Section playoffs, this particular area has seen a near playoff drought with most of the teams. Since the turn of the century, Artesia, Cerritos, John Glenn and Norwalk have combined to reach the playoffs 11 times. This season, expect more area teams to get back to the promise land.
GAHR GLADIATORS
(20-11 overall last season, 8-4 in the San Gabriel Valley League, second place, lost to Ocean View 7-3 in Division III semifinals) Head coach: Geraldo Perez (seventh season, 11560-1) Team’s record previous five seasons: 92-54-1 Last time missed the playoffs: 1998 Key losses: Brenton Allen, Sonny Burgueno, Josh Cabula, Alex Hernandez, Brandon Labreau, Daniel Lack, Michael Lugo, Marcus Tomlin Projected starting lineup: P-Jacob Faria (SR)/Darian Dominguez (SR)/ Charles Cantrell (SR) C-Hector Partida (JR)/Angel Ramos (SR) 1B-Faria/Partida 2B-Anthony Rodriguez (JR) 3B-Edgar Morales (SO) SS-Jaime Estrada (FR) OF-Josh Palmer (SR) OF-Alex Newman (SR) OF-Kevin Franklin (SO)/Alonso Casillas (JR)
If there was ever a time for Gahr’s prestigious program to advance to the CIF-Southern Section championship, it would have been last season. The Gladi-

ators were stockpiled with six everyday seniors plus a couple of pitchers but fell just short of everyone’s dream. Now, the Gladiators will be a tad bit younger but still have enough varsity experience to make another run. “Sometimes when you have a lot of seniors, you have a collective feeling that this is their year,” Perez said. “I think last year they all gelled at the right time. This year’s team has its own identity.” Faria, who has verbally committed to Cal State Fullerton, and Dominguez spearhead the pitching attack and if they’re on target, Gahr will win a lot of games. Faria had an earned run average of 1.52 last season and struck out 42 batters in 64 and a third innings. Dominguez had an ERA of 2.26 with 52 strikeouts in 68 innings. Newman, Palmer and Ramos both batted above.315 in 2010 and Morales was barely under .300. Those four hope to mesh with the new talent to bring Gahr its third straight 20-win season and sixth in the past eight seasons. “Last year, I think we started with the expectations because of the number of seniors,” Perez said. “This year, it’s a unique, hard-working group. They paid the price. There’s a lot of great work ethics tied into these kids. They’re hungry.” Gahr is also seeking its first San Gabriel Valley League crown since 2006. Over the past four seasons, there has been a pair of second place and third place finishes. “It’s always tough but sometimes it’s not how you start but how you finish,” Perez said. “We’ve been finishing pretty good the last five years. It’s definitely something we look forward to.”
JOHN GLENN EAGLES
(8-16 overall last season, 1-11 in the Suburban League, seventh place) Head coach: David Cruz (sixth season, 53-69) Team’s record previous five seasons: 53-69 Last time made the playoffs: 2009 Key losses: Joseph Alvarez, Davon Foggie, Joseph Guerra, Roy Salgado, Juan Vera, Rudy Villegas Projected starting lineup: P-Ceaser Arzate (SO)/Jesse Gutierrez (JR)/John Lemos (JR)/Andy Aguirre (SR)/Eleno DeAvila (SR) C-Octavio Trejo (SR) 1B-Ruben Gomez (SR) 2B-Cesar Hernandez (SR)/Gutierrez 3B-Elias Gomez (SR) SS-Lemos/Gutierrez OF-Ronaldo Acuna (JR) OF-Juan Rojas (SR) OF-Arturo Loera (SO)
Following two straight seasons of advancing to the playoffs, the Eagles couldn’t get their wings in flying mode and suffered their worst league season since 2006. The team relied too much on Juan Vera for both his pitching and of-
fense and it backfired. Vera batted .488 but only two other players hit at least .300. “I really thought at the beginning of the year Juan Vera was going to be able to squeeze a few more wins for us,” Cruz said. “He did have a very successful year, both pitching and hitting, but the rest of the team didn’t come through when we needed hits.” This season, Cruz says there are no superstars on the team. They’re looking to each other which he feels will build a better team. The Eagles do have a lot of speed in the outfield as well as the infield. Arzate and Gutierrez, the top two pitchers, are varsity rookies. Acuna, Lemos, Rojas and Trejo bring the most varsity experience and Cruz stated that Trejo’s leadership behind the plate will be very important. Lemos batted .320 last season “I have the same confidence with this team as I did with Timmy [Soonthorngarun] and Tony [Gomez] of a few years ago,” Cruz said. “I feel like we can win every game. I do think Bellflower is going to win league. But we play them in the last week of the season and if we’re in the hunt, then anything can happen.”
NORWALK LANCERS
(10-15 overall last season, 6-6 in the Suburban League, fourth place, lost to Peninsula 5-2 in Division II wild card) Head coach: Ruben Velazquez (third season, 21-27) Team’s record previous five seasons: 48-74 Last time missed the playoffs: 2009 Key losses: Moises Acosta, Juan Camacho, Chris Hernandez, Ryan Martinez, Chris Osario, Jonathan Villalpando Projected starting lineup: P-Steve Mendoza (SR)/Jose Sandoval (JR)/ Johnny Lopez (SR)/German Vasquez (SR)/Miguel Casteneda (SO)/Anthony Gonzalez (SO) C-Vasquez 1B-Mendoza/Sandoval 2B-Casteneda/Anthony Bunacore (SR)/Chad Nicholas (SR) 3B-Edgar Reyes (SR)/Casteneda SS-Skyler Bautista (SR)/Jesse Rodriguez (SO) OF-Gonzalez/David Degadillo (SR) OF-Jayson Salgado (SR) OF-Rodriguez
The Lancers had to stave off a late season run by Artesia to capture the fourth and final automatic playoff berth from the Suburban League. Now, they hope they can have just has much success this season without Villalpando’s pitching. The Norwalk graduate led the squad with a 3.21 earned run average and had five complete games. However, Velazquez was quick to add that in some of games in which he started and the team lost, the result could have gone the other way. In four of his 11 starts, Norwalk lost by three or fewer
runs. Now, the Lancers hope to make consecutive trips to the playoffs with three veteran pitchers. “It was what we strived for,” Velazquez said of getting to the playoffs. “Obviously you want to win league but if we can’t win league, then definitely we want to go to the playoffs every year, not just once every four years or whatever.” Pitching should not be a problem and neither should the offense with the leadership of Bautista, Lopez, Mendoza, Salgado, Sandoval and Vasquez. The outfield could be a little shaky as Salgado has the most experience. Vasquez moves from left field to catcher. Mendoza is the only player who batted over .300 last season “They are very capable of going beyond fourth place,” Velazquez said. “We have the pitching; we just need to show that we can play consistent defense and we need to consistently hit. We are very capable of being a better hitting team than last year. We just have to prove it.”
VALLEY CHRISTIAN CRUSADERS
(7-19 overall last season, 3-9 in the Olympic League, fourth place) Head coach: Sean Buller (second season, 7-19) Team’s record previous five seasons: 53-81-1 Last time made the playoffs: 2007 Key losses: Sam Aparicio, David Hefley, Franklin Platz, George Taylor Projected starting lineup: P-Dylan Algra (JR)/Ryan Fronke (SR)/Tyler McLurg (SO)/Daniel Hernandez (SR) C-Algra/Jacob Dupuy (SR)/McLurg 1B-Michael Fasnacht (SR)/Nico Morandini (SO)/ Fronke 2B-Patrick Avila (SO)/Shane Stillwagon (JR)/ Hernandez 3B-Avila/Stillwagon/Hernandez SS-Stillwagon/Avila/Hernandez OF-Brian Burgin (JR)/Connor Buckley (SO)/Anthony Nocera (SO)/Morandini OF-Burgin/Buckley/Morandini/Nocera OF-Sam Raffaelli (SR)/Burgin/Buckley/Morandini/Nocera
The Crusaders had a trying season in 2010 with a dozen players until the very end and a new head coach. Now, V.C. is hoping the experience from the young team will pay off. The Crusaders had won their first six games of the season with stellar pitching from Algra, Fronke and Hernandez. “The main issue we needed to do last year was to change the mindset of the school, change the mindset of the players, parents and baseball community,” Buller said. “I think that was accomplished last year. “One of the big improvements has been the players policing themselves,” Buller added. “They have really taken it seriously. There were people who were real skeptical of our summer program,

playing in the Long Beach American Legion where we lost 14 of the 15 games. But yet the kids learned way more than they did all season.” Eight of the 12 players return and only one player, Raffaelli, hit above .300 last season and is the lone returning outfielder. Algra has been tabbed as the number one pitcher as well as the number one catcher. The infield is very solid with Fasnacht (19 runs batted in, four home runs), Hernandez (.288) and Stillwagon (.276). “I started this year in September telling the guys I only have one specific goal for this year and it’s get to the first round of the playoffs,” Buller said. “I really don’t care how we finish in league. I don’t care how we finish our preseason or our rival games that we have this year. We’re going to play to win. But the whole thing is to get to the playoffs.” SUBURBAN LEAGUE SOFTBALL
Early blast from Smith carries Cerritos in doubleheader split By Loren Kopff LAKEWOOD-Sarah Smith thought her third inning home run last Wednesday would jump start the Cerritos softball team against Mayfair in its Suburban League opener. Then Mother Nature took over and the two teams had to wait until this past Tuesday to play over 10 and a half innings of ball. Smith’s home run had tied the game 1-1 in the bottom of the third and the Lady Dons were feeling good about themselves against the defending league champions. But when play resumed after a six-day wait, the Monsoons scored five runs over the past three frames to take game one 6-1. Still, the junior center fielder wasn’t going to be deterred by that result because she led off the second game with a solo line drive shot over the right center fence on the fifth pitch of the game and it led to a 6-2 victory. “Sarah Smith is phenomenal,” said Cerritos head coach Bob Medina. “I don’t believe she has taken the leader part but I think all of the kids on the team do look up to her as a leader. When she does something like that, they respond to that.” While it was Smith’s lone hit of the second game and second in the abbreviated home and home series, the rest of the team did step up, along with some help from Mayfair’s second baseman. With two outs in the top of the second, senior designated player Nikki Rosenberger singled and Smith was walked.
Then a routine grounder hit by sophomore pitcher Kaylilani Minami was misplayed and the bases were loaded for freshman center fielder Lilianna Herrera. Again, another muffed play resulted in another run and Herrera being safe. Up came sophomore shortstop Erin Clinton and the third straight error kept the inning alive. Sophomore first baseman Miki Okazaki singled in a pair of runs and just like that, the Lady Dons had put five runs across the board to lead 6-0. That was more than enough for Minami who bounced back from a poor outing less than an hour ago. While Cerritos (8-2 overall, 2-1 in the league) would not get another hit the rest of the game and only six base runners, Minami was scattering six hits and walking one. “They’re a good hitting team,” Medina said. “Every good pitch that was going in, they were hitting them hard. We made some good timely plays which we didn’t have last time. It worked out fortunately for us.” Okazaki collected a pair of hits in the second game but it was the team’s performance in the first game that grew the ire of Medina. The Lady Dons, ranked fourth in the California Interscholastic Federation-Southern Section Division II poll, were held hitless once play resumed with two outs in the top of the fourth inning and Mayfair being the designated road team. Smith would be the only base runner over the final four innings while the Monsoons were getting to Minami to the tune of eight hits including a solo home run and run scoring single from Nyah Rodman and a two-run base hit from Mariesa Davies. “I’m very disappointed in our team because we were so ready for this,” Medina said of the split. “We practiced the first inning and the way we were going to
COMMUNITY NEWS GROUP • APRIL 1, 2011 go after the second inning kind of got a little out of hand. I wish the momentum [we had] before the rain delay was there [today] and it wasn’t. I think we were lying back instead of being aggressive like we planned to do.” With Minami throwing 67 pitches in just over three innings, many thought Medina might go to another pitcher in the second game. As it turned out, both teams stayed with their game one hurlers and the Lady Dons benefited from the non-change in the end, “I had a plan, and if you know me, I always have a plan and we always try to stick to it,” Medina said. “They’re good hitters and to keep a good hitter off, you have to throw them different pitches. Our plan was to come out and establish the outside for the three innings we had left [in the first game] and then start busting them inside for the next game. We did pop some of their girls out and some of them hit some good foul balls that could have gone over the fence.” The win was the first over the Monsoons since May 5, 2006 and only the fifth on Mayfair’s field in the past 13 seasons. The six runs scored are also the most in over 13 seasons. In 2001, Cerritos blanked Mayfair 5-0 on the road. “Something that we were trying to gain was respect and I believe we did that from playing the way we did,” Medina said. Cerritos would host John Glenn this past Wednesday in the team’s first game at Cerritos and breezed to a 7-0 win. Eight players combined for nine hits and Okazaki tossed a four-hitter, walking one and striking out four. The two teams meet today at Glenn, before Cerritos pays a

While attending Cerritos College, he volunteered at local medical centers and health fairs to provide free health screenings and services to those who otherwise could not afford. Now, his service area" has expanded quite a bit. Since 2009, he has traveled to his home country Cambodia multiple times to help those who live in a landfill. In Cambodia, over a thousand people, many of which are poor or orphaned children, spend all day searching through the piles of trash for recyclables to earn enough money just to feed themselves. "Giving whatever time and abilities I can offer to make these wrongs right is my responsibility as witnessed to these situations," said Siv. Siv changed his major from biomedical engineering to biology and added a minor in public health. This is his last semester as undergrad and he is planning on doing a summer internship, hopefully at United Nations. As to the next step graduate school, he is leaving his options open – as he believes working for one year and getting experience may prepare him better for graduate study. Since 2009, he has traveled to his home country Cambodia multiple times to help those who live in a landfill. - In Cambodia, over a thousand people, many of which are poor or orphaned children, spend all day searching through the piles of trash for recyclables to earn enough money just to feed themselves "Giving whatever time and abilities I can offer to make these wrongs right is my responsibility as witnessed to these situations," said Siv.

DOCTOR from page 6 fer convenient on-site laboratory and X-rays, as well as extended hours in the evening and on weekends. The primary difference between an urgent care center and your primary doctor’s office is that you can walk in to an urgent care center without an appointment. While the wait at a center may be shorter, there is a trade-off. Compared with your regular doctor’s office, center staff may not be familiar with your medical history and your records will not be on file if you are not a regular patient there. In addition, some centers do not accept insurance from certain carriers. Ultimately, the hospital emergency room is the best place to be if you need emergency medical care. In other situations, depending on when they occur and your ability to make an appointment to see your doctor, an urgent care center may be a more convenient, time-effective choice. For more information about when to go to the emergency room, talk with your doctor or call the emergency department at Lakewood Regional Medical Center at 562-602-6800. For non- life threatening emergencies you can use the emergency room reservation system. Go online to www.ERfastpass choose the time you would like to go to the emergency room and wait at home instead of the hospital.

school where an unlocked window was used to enter at approximately 12:30 a.m. Laptop computers were stolen. The 2011 weekly average in “other structure”/commercial burglaries is now 2.8. Vehicle burglaries increased by one case to three last week. All three were in from high-volume commercial parking lots, and all were SUVs. One stereo, laptop computers, and gift certificates were missing. The new 2011 weekly average in vehicle burglaries is 5.2. Remember, law enforcement officers cannot protect you from vehicle burglars. Only you can prevent your own vehicle burglary. If your property is valuable and important to you, consider leaving it at home or taking it with you when you exit the vehicle instead of leaving it visible and attractive to the would-be thief. Be especially aware of
13
your vulnerability if you drive a pickup, SUV, or van. Thieves know that you do not have secure trunk space Vehicle thefts increased by one after two were reported last week. Both of the thefts last week were from high-volume commercial parking lots. One was an SUV and the other a Nissan. The 2011 weekly average in vehicle thefts is now 2.2. The best method to immediately display that your vehicle is protected from theft is the use of a visible deterrent such as a steering wheel lock. This inexpensive “insurance policy” can cost between $30-$50, and tells the commonly pressed for time thief that another target would be more appealing.

cated, extend 226th Street from Norwalk Boulevard to Pioneer Boulevard and the downtown remodeling of store fronts along Norwalk Boulevard north of Carson could not have been done Sung stated Hawaiian Gardens is unable to issue bonds, only the agency can do that. The money from the bonds, he explained, is what finances the city projects. He also noted without the agency the city would not have been able to contribute its share of the $9 million needed to build the Sports Complex currently under construction at Fedde Middle School. Oyama-Canada said the reason she wanted to open a discussion on the governor’s proposal is because she fears the public does not understand what is at stake here. They read about the governor’s proposal but don’t have a full understanding of its effect on the city. The agency is expected to begin transferring agency assets /property to the city in the near future. Neighboring cities such as Norwalk and Cerritos took action last week to keep the state from taking over the properties owned by their respective agencies. In Norwalk, the City Council / Redevelopment Agency held a special meeting on Mar. 22 transferring Agency property to the city. On Mar. 24, the Cerritos City Council/Redevelopment Agency approved a resolution transferring Agency leasehold property and real property to the city. The action by the two cities prevents the state from taking their property and assets if the legislature approves the governor’s proposal. A partial list of agency property in Cerritos includes Liberty Park, Fire Station #30 on Pioneer Boulevard, Cerritos Center for the Performing Arts in the Towne Center, and the Mullikin Medical Building on 183rd Street across from Cerritos High School.
Possible compromise Cerritos City Manager Art Gallucci told the council a compromise proposal was under discussion by the legislature and if approved would be submitted to the Governor. He said the bill proposes that 10 percent of increment, after the mandated 20 percent set-aside funds for low-to moderate hosing, would be passed on to the governor with that money going into the general fund to be used as they see fit and help reduce the deficit. First year potential is more than half billion dollars based on the fact it is estimated
$5 billion in increment income throughout the state of California will be made. [Increment is the amount of rent colleted by the Agency from property they own.] The second part of the bill entails agencies giving to local school districts within the city boundaries one year of set-aside funding. That money would be unrestricted and used by the district. In return the agencies would receive a twoyear extension on its life. If the agency gave 10 percent it would receive an additional 10-year extension for a total of 12 years. The governor and state would receive a cash flow that it has been looking for. He said the funds the school districts received could only be used within the boundaries of the city’s jurisdiction. Councilmember Bruce Barrows asked about the Redevelopment Agencies that refused to participate in the compromise. The city manager said that was an item that needed further study although the Agencies he has talked to favor the compromise. LCCN inquired as to whether the transfers may be invalidated, that is, subject to the same laws as those applied in corporate bankruptcy; bankruptcy court judges can “reach back” as far back as ninety days and invalidate contracts, ask for payments to be reimbursed, etc. The city said they would proceed to look into it.

Gordon is a transplanted Chicagoan. Their loss was Norwalk's gain. He credits former Mayor Bob White and School Board Member Lucille Colln for his entry into city politics. We are thankful they saw the potential and talked him into running for office. He has been one of this city' greatest assets. But all is not bad. He may have retired from city office but will continue with his management company so we will still see him around and be able to ask his advice. So Gordon, be sure to keep that cell phone handy; you are going to need it. FEES from

proper permits. The amnesty program would waive any penalties and demolition fees imposed by the Building Department for work completed without a permit. He said the primary goals of the program is to encourage property owners to voluntary correct unsafe conditions at their property, thus ensuring the safety of all residents through inspections while allowing homeowners to receive all the proper permits without penalty. The council also approved a contract between the city and the Youth Mentoring Connection to conduct a citywide youth mentoring program. Director of Human Resources Steven Gomez said the city sponsored a Youth Mentoring Program from April 2010 to September 2010 in collaboration with the Youth Mentoring Connection (YMC). The YMC assisted the city with recruitment, screening and training of the adult mentors, led the program orientation and monthly meetings. He said the city took the lead in recruitment of the mentors, provided the facilities and supplies/ equipment. The duration of the new agreement would be from March 2011to January 2012. Cost is $30,000. Councilmember Barry Bruce asked why city staff made the recruitment telephone calls when YMC staff knew more abut the program and how it works than city staff. Mayor Mike Gomez said this was done because city personnel know many of the perspective mentors who tend to be wary when a stranger calls. “They feel more comfortable with them,” he said. The council also approved a quitclaim deed and all interest in the pedestrian bridge over Coyote Creek Channel

to the county. Colombo said the Los Angeles County Flood Control wants to tear the bridge down, which has been deemed unsafe. It is located southerly of 226th Street and adjacent to Hawaiian Elementary School. It was originally built so students living on the Long Beach side of the channel could attend Hawaiian Elementary School. The bridge has been closed for several years, deemed unsafe by the county. At one point the city was interested in having the bridge retrofitted or a new one built so Hawaiian Gardens residents would have direct access to the bike trail on the Long Beach side of the channel.

Tickets may be picked up the day of the concert, April 17, at Cerritos Park East beginning at 5:30 p.m. Seating is limited and will be by general admission. Elegino, a Cerritos resident who was born in Japan, organized the concert with support from the City of Cerritos. Elegino said, "I was watching the news every day and all I would see is the devastation of the tsunami, the death total and the missing total. I was in tears every day until I decided, enough tears, I've got to do something. I met Mayor Chen and told her my concert idea and she said the City wanted to help too." Cerritos Mayor Carol K. Chen said, "The City is grateful to Mr. Elegino for conceiving and organizing the concert. Our hearts go out to the people of Japan and our community has expressed a desire to help. The City is proud to offer Cerritos Park East as the concert venue and I encourage everyone to contribute to this effort."
