A public records request under the Freedom of Information Act by Hews Media Group-Los Cerritos Community News has revealed that current Hawaiian Gardens Mayor Myra Myra Maravilla Maravilla has taken over $18,000 in “cash in lieu” payments since her election to the City Council in 2015. Cash in lieu is a duplicitous way for elected officials like Maravilla to receive a check every month “in lieu” or in place of health insurance. The revelation sheds a bad light on Maravilla, the self-proclaimed budget hawk who has attempted to cancel the City’s annual parade, the City’s Memorial Day ceremony, the annual Pow Wow Heritage event, all while pocketing cash every from the cash-strapped City for health benefits. Every year, Maravilla ac-

But instead of denying coverage and giving the money back to the City, she accepts a check for the amount of coverage. Further, even though Hawaiian Gardens is only one square mile, Maravilla has taken over $20,000 in car allowance since her election, bringing the total to $38,000. Maravilla, who works for the city of Long Beach, also

FORMER STATE ASM. MIKE GATTO SUBMITS HOMELESS BALLOT INITIATIVE BY BRIAN HEWS This week, former state Assemblyman Mike Gatto (D – Los Angeles) submitted to the Attorney General for title and summary a ballot initiative that materially alters the state’s approach to homelessness. The initiative would treat certain existing crimes (“Intervention Predicates,”) as pleas for help –- opportunities to both engage the homeless and return respect for the law on our streets. Under the system, certain crimes, like defecating on public transportation or using heroin or meth in public, would be strictly enforced. However, a special court would be created in major counties to determine whether a person committed those crimes due to economic need, a drug dependency, or mental-health issues. The court would then “sentence” the defendant to an appropriate treatment plan: connecting the defendant to existing

DOWNEY HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT RECEIVES POWER OF YOUTH AWARD BY TAMMYE MCDUFF Students from Downey High School's Thirst Project Club attended the tenth Annual Thirst Gala last month where one of Downey’s daughters, Mae Baliscao, was recognized for receiving the Power of Youth Award as the top student humanitarian/leader in the United States. The Thirst Project is the world's leading Youth Water Activism Organization raising funds to build water wells in developing countries. The gala was hosted by Jennifer Garner and attended by many celebrities.
AWARD: Bryce Howard (left) and Adam Sandler presented the award to Downey resident Diana Mae Baliscao.
“In the summer of 2008, three consecutive days changed everything,” said Seth Maxwell, Found and CEO of Thirst Project. Seven 19 year-old friends living in Southern California would learn about the global water crisis through a series of unlikely people and events, and embark on a journey that would give birth to this organization. Like all great things, it started with coffee. I met up with a friend who was the first person to ever expose me to the global water crisis. Until this moment in my nineteenth year, I had no idea that this was even an issue. I had no idea that there were people living in our world who didn’t have access to basic, safe drinking water. I learned that there were people who are literally forced to drink from swamps, mud puddles, earth dams or whatever standing water source is
available to them. I learned that waterborne diseases kill more children in the world than anything. I learned that, then, 1.1 billion people didn’t have access to safe, clean drinking water.” In one day, these three teens spoke to over 1,000 people, raising awareness about the water crisis to those with hardly any plan other than to simply tell people. Almost everybody gave back for the water that they took, and they were able to turn $70, into $1,700. This was used to fund the first rehabilitation of a freshwater well. Today, the organization travels the country to middle schools, high schools and college campuses speaking to people and educating students about the global water crisis, challenging them to take action.
Baliscao and Downey’s Thirst Project lead a ‘Walk for Water’ each March to raise funds and awareness, “It is an honor to receive this award,” she stated, “but this is not just for me – it is for our committee, teachers and all the residents in our City of Downey, who donated and helped build a well in those countries that need clean water.” The next ‘Walk For Water’ will be held March 2020 and their goal is to raise $24,000. In just a few short years, Thirst Project has raised over $10 million and funded projects to provide over 280,000 people with safe, clean water. “The need is great,” says Maxwell, “We can no longer ignore the number one global killer of our children. Our goal with Thirst Project is to provide safe, clean water to the entire Kingdom of eSwatini by 2022.”

SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT VOLUNTEERS RECOGNIZE THE BELLFLOWER CITY COUNCIL BY TAMMYE MCDUFF The County of Los Angeles Volunteer program offers volunteers an opportunity to be involved with nearly every aspect of a station. Volunteers may choose to be a part of such traditional functions as: Clergy Program; Front Desk Volunteers; Clerical Volunteers or Volunteers on Patrol.

Marc Bauman of the Los Angeles County Lakewood Sheriff’s Station recently recognized the Bellflower City Council as the fifth city to sponsor a volunteer training workshop.

CERRITOS 2020 ELECTION TOWN HALL MEETING SET FOR OCTOBER 16 STAFF REPORT The community is invited to attend a Town Hall meeting on the March 3, 2020 Cerritos General Municipal Election on Wednesday, October 16 at 6 p.m. at Cerritos Park East (13234 E. 166th Street in Cerritos). This meeting was previously scheduled for Monday, October 14 in the City Council Chambers. The Voting Solutions for All People (VSAP) project is Los Angeles County’s initiative to improve and modernize the voting experience. In March 2020, the County will move away from a precinctbased model to the Vote Center model made possible through the California Voter’s Choice Act. This will create an 11-day period of voting and will allow voters to vote at any Vote Center in the County during that period. In addition, the County will move to a new fully accessible Ballot Marking Device (BMD), which incorporates a modern touchscreen interface, but still retains a paper ballot for security. There will be a number of other changes that will improve the voting experience. Town Hall meeting attendees will learn about the changes planned for the March 3, 2020 Cerritos General Municipal Election and will have an opportunity to test the new BMD. For more information, contact the Cerritos City Clerk’s Office at (562) 916-1248.

BY TAMMYE MCDUFF The City of Cerritos honored resident Ryan Augustine for winning a gold medal in the 2019 USA Diving Junior National championships in the 12-13 Boys one meter event. Ryan competed in several qualifying events prior to reaching the National Championship. He won three gold medals in the 2019 USA Diving Junior Region 12 Championships.

than a quarter of a century. Augustine trains four to five hours every day while still keeping his grades in good condition. He and his brothers have been home schooled by their mother Lori. “Ever since Ryan was about seven or eight years old, he has wanted to ‘do the dives the big boys did’,” said Mom Lori, “but he was too young and his body wasn't strong enough yet. I would have to tell him just wait, you will have your chance. Every month he was itching to be better, I kept saying, be patient you will have your chance.” His parents diligently drive him to practice each day. “Ryan struggled on his first two events in the Nationals, placing 7th on the three meter and 11th on the platform, but he knew he wasn't done,” said James, his father, “going into finals he was sitting in second, he focused, remembered his training and brought home the gold, we are very proud of him.” Augustine thanked the City Council for his recognition saying “It has been a great experience and I would like to thank the council for giving me this award. I know without the support of my family and coach, this would not have been possible.”

DOWN SYNDROME/TRISOMY 21 AWARENESS MONTH BY TAMMYE MCDUFF

and problems with vision and hearing; how severe or mild these problems are varies from child to child. The La Mirada City Council presented a proclamation to resident Evelyn Acevedo recognizing October as Trisomy 21 month. “I wanted to bring attention to Down Syndrome in our community. My child has Trisomy 21 and we have been the recipient of prejudice,” said Acevedo, ”I believe that if we bring awareness to the syndrome and educate children and adults we can grow stronger and more united as a community.” Although March has usually been the month dedicated to Trisomy 21, Acevedo believes that if we begin to

correct preconceived ideas about Down Syndrome, people will be more accepting and encouraging as adults. According to Eunice Kennedy Shriver’s National Institute of Child Health and Human Development [NICHD], most people have 23 pairs of chromosomes in most or all of their cells for a total of 46 chromosomes in all. These chromosomes include DNA and other material that provide a blueprint for “building” a person. Trisomy is a type of polysomy in which there are three instances of a particular chromosome, instead of the normal two or an abnormal number of chromosomes, for a total of 47 chromosomes in all. An extra chromosome can cause a variety of health problems ranging from mild intellectual and developmental disability [IDD] to severe physical problems. Trisomy 21 is the most common chromosomal anomaly in humans, affecting about 5,000 babies born each year and more than 350,000 people in the United States. During Trisomy Awareness Month, the NICHD joins other agencies and organizations in raising awareness about Trisomy conditions and the challenges they may pose to individuals and families. Research on these conditions from their origins, to their mechanisms, to their treatments, plays an important role in the lives of these individuals and families. To learn more about this condition and how you can contribute contact the National Down Syndrome Society at www.ndss.org

WEEK SIX FOOTBALL
NORWALK DOMINATES FLOW OF GAME, BUT GLENN PULLS OUT WIN WITH DEFENSE, TWO LONG TOUCHDOWNS BY LOREN KOPFF @LORENKOPFF ON TWITTER The long-standing rivalry between the John Glenn High and Norwalk High football teams took on a different approach leading up to its 56th all-time game last Friday night at Excelsior Stadium. Rumors of harsh words towards the Glenn program were prevalent throughout the city during the week, mostly because the Eagles slammed the Lancers 48-7 in last season’s affair, and several Norwalk players transferred to the rival school in the offseason. It went as far as accusations being thrown in Glenn’s face of illegal recruiting in which the Norwalk-La Mirada Unified School District ruled there was no evidence of undue influence. Even with the distractions, Glenn’s defense buckled down and found a way to stop Norwalk’s double-wing offense when it needed to and pull out a hard-earned 20-7 win. It's the first time Glenn has defeated Norwalk in back to back years since winning four in a row from 1999-2002. The 14 points the Lancers have scored the past two games against the Eagles are the fewest since scoring 18 points combined in the 1970 and 1971 contests. Glenn has also held Norwalk to single digits 10 times. “I don’t think we’re in hatred,” said Glenn head coach Vince Lobendahn. “My wife works at that school, I don’t. I’m coaching football and I’m trying to put a fingerprint on John Glenn to make them a program that’s like the other schools. I’ve watched Norwalk go to the CIF title game, I’ve watched La Mirada win a state championship. “And I’m just trying to get Glenn…
no hatred to neither school,” he continued. “I’m just trying to get Glenn to that area where we have guys that want to come to us and play for us because we’re going to put them in a position to play beyond high school. It’s not me hating Norwalk or La Mirada or any of the other schools around here. I’m just trying to put a fingerprint on this program and change what they’ve had here for many years.” Norwalk clearly dominated the game in every area except the final score as the Lancers held the ball for 35:43, ran 36 more plays than Glenn and piled up 275 yards of offense, about 75 yards more than the Eagles did. But the Eagles would get key defensive stops when they needed to, halting Norwalk drives at Glenn’s 27 and 37yard lines in the first quarter, Glenn’s 32 and one-yard lines in the second quarter, Glenn’s 30-yard line in the third quarter and Glenn’s 14-yard line early in the fourth quarter. Later in the stanza, a pair of turnovers sealed the win. The game was scoreless until Glenn senior running back Edwin Udengwu scored from four yards out on the fifth play of the second quarter. Glenn went for the twopoint conversion and was unsuccessful but was starting to gain some momentum. “When you put us in a phone booth, we have to play phone booth football,” Lobendahn said. “And in phone booth football, we finally get some guys on the field that weren’t there [previously]. They were able to lay some different type of work out there that we haven’t had. It was nice to see them.” Lobendahn was talking about the players who transferred to Glenn and became

eligible after sitting out the first six games. Glenn would only have three plays the rest of the second quarter, but the story of the night was the defense. The Lancers had a pair of second quarter drives, ran 18 plays and were denied a touchdown when senior running back Sergio Martinez was stopped a yard short of the endzone on the last play of the half. With Glenn’s running game nearly stagnant in the first half, rushing four times for 22 yards, all by Udengwu, the passing game got involved. After the Eagles went three and out on the opening drive of the second half, junior quarterback Matthew Huxtable, who completed three passes
for 45 yards in the first half, found senor tight end Francisco Ruiz for a pair of long touchdowns. The first one came with 5:25 left in the third quarter when Ruiz found himself wide open in the middle of the secondary and raced 41 yards for the score. Then with 4:28 remining in the game, it was nearly a carbon copy as this one went for 40 yards. “I’m always going to be a tight endloving coach,” Lobendahn said. “It’s always going to be a Norm Chow puppy. We’re always going to keep the Y in-

CERRITOS GIRLS CROSS COUNTRY TEAM DOMINATES 605 LEAGUE’S SECOND CLUSTER MEET BY LOREN KOPFF @LORENKOPFF ON TWITTER The Cerritos girls cross country team claimed the 605 League’s second cluster last Wednesday afternoon at La Mirada Regional Park. Junior Sofia Vasquez (19:56), freshman Sydney Romero (20:01) and junior Samantha Chang (20:06) claimed the top three spots. For extra measure, freshman Camille Lara finished in fifth place with a time of 20:46 and four spots later, junior Kyli Joe chimed in at 21:45. Cerritos won the league’s first cluster on Sept. 18 by picking up 19 points and easily defeating Oxford Academy by 44 points. While last Wednesday was a duel meet, the Lady Dons still picked up what amounted to 20 points and won by 44 points again. Chang and Romero swapped places from the first cluster meet while Joe moved up from 11th place to ninth. Whitney freshman Ella Centeno, who came in 12th place in the first cluster meet, improved to fourth place and had a time of 20:39. Her teammate, junior Kritka Pantha, was 11th with a time of 21:50 while freshmen Kayla Vicencio (23:09) and Megan Nguyen (23:27) crossed the finish line in 17th and 18th respectively. The top Artesia runner was junior Alexa Fernandez, who was the 13th out of 28 runners at 22:32. Only four Arte-
sia varsity runners participated and there were no John Glenn varsity runners. For the boys, Whitney sophomore Lorenzo Rodriguez took the top spot at 16:32 but overall, Pioneer won the meet, followed by Cerritos and Oxford Academy. Cerritos claimed the fifth and sixth positions with sophomore Michael Rafael (17:01) and junior Anrei Giordano (17:08).

Whitney junior Jeffrey Fernandez came in 12th place with a time of 17:42) while senior Eric Kim finished in 18th at 18:13.

OLYMPIC LEAGUE GIRLS VOLLEYBALL VALLEY CHRISTIAN LOSES BATTLE OF MOMENTUM SWINGS, CHANCE TO TIE FOR OLYMPIC LEAGUE TOP SPOT BY LOREN KOPFF @LORENKOPFF ON TWITTER The two best girls’ volleyball teams in the Olympic League squared off this past Tuesday night at Valley Christian High with the host Lady Defenders needing a win to catch Village Christian High at the top. And unlike the first meeting back on Sept. 18 when the Crusaders yielded 54 points in a three-set sweep, the second time around had numerous momentum swings that lasted the full five sets. In the end, Valley Christian couldn’t add to a 10-7 lead in the final set and Kendall Jensen served four straight points to give her team that final push, giving Village Christian a 25-22, 2225, 25-19, 11-25, 15-11 victory. Valley Christian, the fifth-ranked team in the CIF-Southern Section Division 4 poll, dropped to 18-8 overall and 4-2 in the league. “I knew our lead wasn’t safe the way they had been playing,” said Valley Christian head coach Jeff Ornee. “All it took was one girl to go back there. I think Kendall Jensen went back to serve and she went on a run. She’s probably the best server in our league based on what the stats tell me. They got their girl back there when it came down to crunch time and she took advantage.” The Lady Defenders rallied from two-point deficits twice to tie the set early on, then a kill from junior outside hitter Rachel Gonzales tied the set at 5-5 and gave the serve to junior middle blocker Dakota Quinlan. The transfer
RICARDO LOIS NAMED PRINCIPAL OF GAHR HIGH The ABC Unified School District’s Board of Education approved Ricardo Lois Principal of Gahr High School at the October 1, 2019 Board Meeting. “Mr. Lois has done an outstanding job as Principal at Fedde Middle School,” said Superintendent Dr. Mary Sieu. “His work ethic, attitude, and abilities will only add to the great tradition of academics and career readiness that Gahr High School has demonstrated for many years.” Mr. Lois has served the students of the ABC Unified School District since 2004. He has served as Principal at Fedde Middle School since 2013. During his tenure at Fedde, the school was recognized several times for academic achievement including being named as a National Forum for Middle School Reform School to Watch and earning an Educational Results Partnership Honor Roll School designation. “Although I will miss the students, families and the entire Fedde team, I am excited about leading at the high school level,” said Lois. Before his tenure as Principal at Fedde Middle School, Mr. Lois served as Assistant Principal, Dean of Students, and School Counselor at Fedde. He also served as School Counselor at Cerritos High School. He spent time at both the Lennox School District and Inglewood Unified School District before coming to ABCUSD. Lois earned his Bachelor of Arts Degree in Sociology at California State University, Long Beach, his Masters of Arts Degree in Education and Counseling at California State University, Dominguez Hills and is completing his Doctorate Degree in Educational Leadership at California State University, Long Beach.
from Bishop Montgomery High, who would have a monster match, gave her team a brief 7-5 lead. Moments later, kills from senior opposite hitter Megan Bouma and junior outside hitter Ashlyn Couch pushed the lead to 10-7. The first set would see four ties and one lead change through the first rotation before Jensen reeled off five straight points to give her team a 16-10 lead. The hosts would trail by seven points twice through the second rotation before a kill from Couch began a stretch of six straight points. However, a kill from Campbell Jensen and her ace ended that rally, as well as the set. Valley Christian would begin to have more momentum in the second set, never trailing even though there would be five ties. Valley Christian had a lead of 9-5 following the second of two straight aces from junior setter Rachel Lim, and led 14-10 after a Quinlan block. Consecutive aces from Brooke Hudspeth made it a 22-21 before Quinlan added her ninth kill. Gonzales finished off the set with a pair of kills. “I thought that was big,” Ornee said. “It was a really up and down match as far as momentum goes all night. It really came down to serving. I think these are probably the two best serving teams I’ve seen all year. We had a couple of those long runs, they had a couple of those long runs. It was just a momentum battle all night and unfortunately in game five, the momentum kind of shifted their way.” The third set was even tighter with
four ties through the first rotation and Village Christian leading by no greater than two points until the third rotation. Valley Christian took its first lead at 15-14 on another block by Quinlan. That was followed by a kill from Couch. However, kills from Kendall and Campbell Jensen put the Crusaders in front and they would not relinquish the lead the remainder of the set. Village Christian was clinging to a 6-4 lead in the fourth set when Gonzales had three straight kills. After a timeout, Lim had an ace and the maroon and gold was up 10-4 and never looked back. Couch, Gonzales and Quinlan combined for 11 kills in the set. “I talked to the girls after game three and I said, ‘we’re close, we’re right there and if there was a difference, it’s serve a little bit tougher and we definitely have to pass better,” Ornee said. “I didn’t think we passed the ball well in game three. So, I challenged all three of my passers-Ashlyn, Rachel and Mia. I said if we want to push this to a game five, it’s going to come off [them], and I thought we passed phenomenal.” Gonzales and Quinlan each had 17 kills while Couch, who didn’t play in the first meeting, added 13 kills. Bouma chipped in with another nine kills while Quinlan came up with nine blocks. Kim had 40 assists and senior libero Mia DeKraker had 17 digs, followed by 15 from Couch and 10 from Gonzales. “More than what she brings on the court, I was so impressed with what she brought off the court,” Ornee said
of Quinlan. “She had that sit-out period and anybody else in that sit-out period probably is going to sit on the bench and keep to themselves because they know they probably can’t contribute on the court. But she was the loudest girl on the bench. She made a huge impact talking to my middles that weren’t probably playing middles. She was a huge part of our team off the court.” Even though Valley Christian is sitting in second place with no shot of a league title, unless the Crusaders lose their final two matches and the Lady Defenders win out, Ornee isn’t ready to claim the second spot. Valley Christian visited Heritage Christian High on Oct. 10 and will wrap up the regular season against Whittier Christian High on Tuesday. Valley Christian, which won a thrilling five-set match against Whittier Christian on Sept. 25, leads the Heralds by one game in the standings. It was the first of two five-set matches the Lady Defenders have been involved in this season. “Dakota is going to have to be the difference maker, for sure,” Ornee said. “And, if we can clean up our offense with her a little bit, getting her the sets she needs…a huge difference maker. But the other thing is, we haven’t secured second in league yet. We still have to play Whittier once here and by no means am I comfortable sitting in that second spot. We have a tough match against Heritage on Thursday and then Whittier is coming in on Tuesday. So, that will be the battle for second.”

They overplayed the outside and we made sure we went right back to the middle.” “Both pass plays, there wasn’t a safety over him; he was wide open” Huxtable said. “There was no safety at all. It was just an easy catch.” Norwalk would continue to drive down the field all night despite going two for six on fourth down conversions through the first three quarters with the two conversions coming off Glenn penalties. The Lancers began the final stanza deep in Glenn’s territory, but senior Daniel Onopa was incomplete on a fourth down pass roiling out to his left. When the hosts got the ball back, they needed to go 23 yards to avoid being blanked for the fourth time in the rivalry. Martinez cashed in from a yard out nearly midway through the quarter. After that, Norwalk fumbled the next time it touched the ball, then ran five plays on the last possession of the game before Onopa was picked off by senior defensive back Davion Keith in the endzone with 59.5 seconds left. “All of a sudden, we gathered a few players that weren’t injured in those other games, nor were they sitting out,” Lobendahn said of containing the double-wing offense. “So, they were able to help us out on the field versus being on the sideline. And, they contributed to the group and gave us a group effort.” “It’s really a great feeling with this rivalry that’s been going on,” Huxtable said. “For the past years, they’ve been beating us every year. The game means a lot to me. This is like bragging rights for the rest of
OCTOBER 11, 2019
the year. Until next year, they can’t say anything about us because we beat them.” Huxtable competed six passes in 15 attempts for 131 yards while Udengwu, a 1,000-yard running back last season, was limited to 35 yards on half a dozen touches. Senior running back Robert Coates added 28 yards on five carries. For Norwalk, Martinez rushed 31 times for 126 yards and junior running back Milton Roman Jr. added 106 yards on 19 carries. But again, the story was the defense where sophomore lineman Enzo Tayou, a transfer playing in his first game, had nine tackles. Udengwu added five tackles and senior defensive back Ulices Ayala four tackles. “One of those kids was sitting out for six games and Enzo was one of them,” Lobendahn said. “So, his effort was going to be above and beyond your regular ‘get in and get out there’. He went out there and gave 100 percent, knowing that the plays were setting up in an area where he could make an impact. It wasn’t going to be away from him too far where it was within an arm reach or a leg reach. He was doing his best to stay within that general vicinity to try to make a play there.” Both teams will be off tonight before starting their respective league slates. Glenn, which had scored a combined 30 points in the last three games, all losses, improved to 3-4 and will host Pioneer High on Oct. 18 in the first 605 League contest this season. Norwalk dropped to 3-4 and will host Bellflower High on Oct. 18 in the Suburban League opener. “There were portions of last week’s game where I felt that group should have been able to close and give us one [win] last week,” Lobendahn said. “In this game, there were areas we were still…when we get new guys, it does show up on the field. I’m hoping that we can get those kinks out in this week ahead before we play our first league game at home against Pioneer.”

SEAL BEACH PHILHARMONIC HELPING YOUTH CENTER WITH DONATED INSTRUMENTS BY LAURIE HANSON It all started with a donation of a flute and violin, progressing to a friendly neighbor-to-neighbor chat asking what to do with an old piano. Knowing The Youth Center offers music lessons to all Los Alamitos Unified School District (LAUSD) elementary students, the President of the Seal Beach Philharmonic Committee Louise Dubos called them about donated instruments they had received. The Youth Center’s Executive Director Julie Rubin was contacted, and arranged to have the piano picked up, no small feat since it weighs in at 400 pounds. Mario and Nancy Iacoboni’s grown children never took up playing the family Wurlitzer spinet piano, so they were looking to donate it to a family who was interested in a piano. By asking their neighbor Dubos if she knew of anyone, they discovered The Youth Center. The Seal Beach Philharmonic Committee is now asking the community to join in on a musical instrument scavenger hunt to find no-longer-used instruments that in-
dividuals might have in their closet, attic or garage. The committee will refurbish, repair and donate these instruments to students in the LAUSD. The Youth Center plans on donating the instruments to elementary school children in their music program who are on scholarships. The donated piano is now in the main room of The Youth Center available to After School Program children. They are now actively seeking a volunteer to provide piano instruction to the students. “Music crosses all boundaries whether man-made or natural. It reaches into the soul of us all,” said Nancy Iacoboni. “We wanted to make sure that the piano would go to a good cause, and were especially interested in gifting it directly to an underprivileged school where it would be played by students or to an established charity which distributes musical instruments to those who would not otherwise be able to learn to play music.” Her husband Mario added, “Music is everything to me. I am literally surrounded by music every day. It can be nourishing, soothing, thought provoking, and a means of transcendence from the mundane.” He said he and Nancy travel for music and see many local events as well. “We are grateful and elated to have the support of the Seal Beach Philharmonic Committee and local community members like the Iacobonis,” said Rubin. “By partnering with them and others we hope

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Cerritos City Council will conduct a public hearing at a regular meeting on Thursday, October 24, 2019 at 7:00 p.m. on the following matter:
Recommendation by the Cerritos Planning Commission, on a vote of 5-0, to approve the following: Review and consideration to waive full reading of and introduce AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF CERRITOS AMENDING CHAPTER 5.35 AND CHAPTER 22.40 OF THE CERRITOS MUNICIPAL CODE TO PROHIBIT THE SALE OF ELECTRONIC CIGARETTES IN THE CITY OF CERRITOS, HEREIN REFERENCED AS DEVELOPMENT CODE AMENDMENT 2019-5.* *Pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), this project is categorically exempt from CEQA Review.

If adopted, starting July 1, 2020, sales of electronic cigarettes in the City of Cerritos will be prohibited. The Ordinance does provide existing legal retailers with a process to appeal for a onetime extension of the July 1, 2020, deadline if certain criterion is met.
This public hearing will be conducted in the Council Chambers of the Cerritos City Hall, Cerritos Civic Center, Bloomfield Avenue and 183rd Street in Cerritos, California 90703.
