Congresswoman Linda Sánchez hits Republicans on Senate failure to pass Omnibus Trade Act
Ways and Means Committee Member Linda T. Sanchez issued the following statement today regarding the Senate’s failure to act on H.R. 6517, the Omnibus Trade Act of 2010 which provides critical assistance to hundreds of thousands of workers and promotes the competitiveness of American manufacturing. The legislation, which includes important expiring trade provisions and extend necessary worker training and important trade programs, passed the House of Representatives with broad bipartisan support on December 15, 2010. “Senator Kyl and some of his Republican colleagues in the Senate are, once again, playing partisan games with a bi-partisan solution that addresses the pressing needs of American businesses and unemployed workers. By refusing to act on the omnibus trade bill, these Senators are harming American manufactur-
ers who rely on foreign inputs and preventing workers who lost their jobs due to foreign trade from receiving the assistance they need to get new skills and new jobs. These partisan tactics are slowing our recovery and obstructing our competitiveness at a time when we should be helping businesses grow. Instead of a Christmas bonus, these Senators are delivering the American economy a lump of coal.”
Obama's Hunger-Free Kids Act Dear Editor: This week, President Obama signed the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act -- first major bipartisan bill enacted since the election by a deeply polarized congress. The act will replace junk food in school lunches and vending machines with more healthful options. Several jurisdictions have taken similar action. The Hawaii, California, New York, and Florida legislatures passed resolutions recommending vegan school

options. Last year, the Baltimore City public school system became the first in the nation to offer its 80,000 students a weekly meat-free lunch. According to the School Nutrition Association, 65% of U.S. schools now offer vegetarian lunch options. In the past, USDA has used the National School Lunch Program as a dumping ground for surplus meat and dairy commodities. Not surprisingly, 90% of American children consume excessive amounts of fat, and only 15% eat the recommended servings of fruits and vegetables. These early dietary flaws become lifelong addictions, raising the risk of diabetes, heart disease, and stroke. Those who care about our children’s health should demand healthful plantbased school meals, snacks, and vending machine items.

New La Palma Mayor thanks residents and Council Ralph Rodriguez has been chosen as mayor of the city of La Palma for 2011. The position is one that rotates between council members and is selected by the other council members. He is pictured (from left to right) with his wife Dianna and daughter Sammi, 13. Newly re-elected Henry Charoen will serve as Mayor Pro Tem. “I’m not usually at a loss for words, but I want to thank Council and residents for allowing me to assist, as we move forward and I’m looking forward to working with staff,” Rodriguez said.

CERRITOS SHERIFF’S STATION
Weekly crime summary December 13-19, 2010
Part I felony investigations conducted by members of the Cerritos Sheriff’s Station increased from twenty the previous week to forty-one last week. Crimes in all of the reported categories were up with the exception of commercial burglaries, which showed a decline. Patrol deputies handled 315 calls for service last week, up from 231 the week before. The current 2010 weekly average in calls for service is now 296. Crimes and calls for service traditionally increase over the Holiday Season. There was one robbery reported last week. Two male juveniles took a cell phone from another male juvenile victim on Wednesday December 15 at 6:15 p.m. while the victim stood in a parking lot in the 10700 block of South Street. Residential burglaries increased from three the week before to nine for this reporting period. Open/unlocked doors or windows were responsible for entry in four cases, three windows were shattered, and two were pried open. Christmas presents, laptop computers, jewelry, cash, tools, and MP3 players were taken. The current 2010 weekly average in residential burglaries is 3.0. Solid core doors with a sturdy deadbolt lock will make it very difficult for a thief to gain entry merely by kicking the door. Side garage doors are frequently used to gain access to the garage, and ultimately the residence where the garage is attached. We recommend that residents have these doors and locks installed in all exterior doorways. There were two commercial burglaries reported last week, down by one from the previous reporting period. A rear window and front door were pried on the closed businesses where copper piping was stolen in one case, and no loss could be determined in the other. The 2010 weekly average in commercial burglaries is 2.3. Vehicle burglaries increased from six to twelve last week. High-volume commercial parking lots were the crime scenes in ten of the crimes. Ten also involved SUVs. Stereo items and DVD players were taken in five cases, and third-row seats were also taken from SUVs. Other property reported stolen included purses, cameras, wallets, skirts, a clarinet, sunglasses, and miscellaneous clothing. The 2010 weekly average in vehicle burglaries is now 6.8. It is common knowledge that vans, pick-ups, and SUVs do not have a [See CRIME Page 15]

CCASCA held their annual Respecting Elders event Dec.11 and invited more than 80 members who are 85 years and older to have lunch together.

Tracy High School’s Peace Club fills boxes for troops
With an emphasis after the 9/11 attacks in 2001, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has been tightening security with over 43,000 of officers stationed in almost 450 airports nationwide. However, there has been recent controversy over the full-body xray scan, capturing the physique entirely bare. The sister alternative is a complete pat down. In a recent report, TSA announced that they will now permit the use of palms for maximum security, as opposed to the original backhand. “It's violating personal rights and it could be humiliating to some as well,” says Isaac Kwon, an Artesia resident. “Though, if I were given the choice, I'd probably go with the pat down. Both options are uncomfortable, especially after I saw the officers all over the person on TV.” Some, on the other hand, felt differently. “If it will benefit everyone, then I would support it,” says Katerhine Ampaw. “It's for the greater good and we need to do this as a county.” The screening images are said to be deleted immediately after viewing and the scanners, according to the TSA, have no storing capabilities. Despite that, there seems to be some mistrust from community members. “If they really are deleting the pictures, then it makes me wonder how they get some of these shots on the news,” says Philip Martinez, an employee in Cerritos. “It was on the news that a boss caught his employee browsing through pictures and they shared a laugh

together about it. Humans are humans. We all have a sick mind. But anyway, I think the terrorists have figured out that they have to move on from planes and think of a new idea.” “Israel has a good detection system as well,” Martinez added. The country of Israel has been under heavy terrorist-threats since their founding and recognition as a nation-state. According to Politics Daily, from the moment you step foot into the parking lot, armed officers escort you from checkpoint to checkpoint. There are no long lines and the security method has been proven to be effective, as it has not been breached since 2002 when a man mistakenly boarded the aircraft with a [See STREET Page 15] Put excitement in your life, travel with.....

Staff at Glendale Memorial put together bags of gifts for families of students attending Cerritos Elementary School. "We are fortunate enough to have a Christmas we can count on, and it's the least we can do to all pitch in just a little bit to make sure somebody else has even a hint of the joy we are having with our own families," said Glendale Memorial nurse Abby Lloyd Sabin.

school, This year, 37 hospital departments adopted 25 families, Butler said. Teachers and staff members at Cerritos Elementary identify recipients. "Now, with what is going on with the economy, a lot of our families are out of work or their hours have been cut back," said Melinda Perez, a community liaison at Cerritos Elementary. "This partnership we have with Glendale Memorial helps the families to receive a Christmas that they maybe wouldn't be receiving." Gifts included food, clothing, toys, electronics, holiday decorations and gift cards. On average, participants contribute about $25 to the effort, although some contribute much more, said Housni Hariri, administrative director of radiology at the hospital. Providing struggling families with a memorable holiday is consistent with the mission of Glendale Memorial, said nurse Shimekal Gorsline. "We have awards to exemplify what we do for our community, and this is part of us giving back to the community," Gorsline said. "We are very happy to do it."

It also includes an online directory listing both local and national services—from those that help with the costs of medicines, to insurance counseling, support groups, transportation services, and in-home health care. The website even offers a free e-newsletter with monthly articles filled with tips and resources to make family caregiving easier. Although Americare West Home Health Services specifically designed its educational website to be helpful to fam-

Office staff can look up services on the website and print the appropriate pages to give to their patients and clients. In addition, there are resource pages with information regarding recent research findings and links to national websites offering continuing education materials.

La Palma Police use decoy for pedestrian safety education On the morning of Tuesday, December 14, 2010, the La Palma, Cypress, and Los Alamitos Police Departments conducted a joint crosswalk pedestrian safety enforcement program. A total of 56 citations were issued to drivers who failed to yield to pedestrians in crosswalks. During the program, plain-clothes police officers used crosswalks located near

schools, while officers in marked police vehicles observed violations and issued citations. The joint traffic enforcement effort was conducted in an effort to help make crosswalks safer. La Palma Police Cpl Les Parsons, who was one of the decoys used during the program, said, “Drivers should always be looking for pedestrians, especially during the morning and afternoon peak-hours. Pedestrians and motorists need to share the road and look for each other.” For more information about pedestrian safety, please visit the City’s Project Safe Streets website at www.cityoflapalma.org/safestreets.

Local candidates who thanked Hubert Humphrey Democratic Club members for endorsing them at its Dec. 20 meeting at Cocos included (l-r) Norwalk Commissioner Mary Jane McIntosh, ABC School Boardmember Mark Pulido and Lakewood Commissioner Joy Janes. By Larry Caballero A rainy night didn’t stop Hubert Humphrey Democratic Club members from attending a special meeting Dec. 20 to endorse local candidates for city council races next year. Cerritos Mayor Joseph Cho received the club’s endorsement even while he was visiting family
out of state. Cho had submitted a letter earlier that read in part, “For the past four years, I have been a relentless voice for the residents of Cerritos and have tried to assist residents who needed help. I have created unique constituent programs such as the Neighborhood Park Meet & Greet and the Community Round Table meetings to go above and beyond the call of duty required for city councilmembers.” Cho promised, “I will work hard to continue providing residents the high level of services they expect and deserve, and make Cerritos an even better place for our families to live and work.” Norwalk Commissioner Mary Jane McIntosh promised, if she were elected to the Norwalk City Council, she would support more transparency in government and promote efforts to clean up the environment including the removal of the tank farms. ABC School Boardmember Mark Pulido pledged that if he were elected to the Cerritos City Council, he would promote public safety and enhance the quality of life for all residents including seniors and youth. “We also need to find ways to continue investing in the City’s infrastructure,” said Pulido. Lakewood Commissioner Joy Janes promised to promote accessibility, accountability and responsibility in city government and listed fiscal stability and public safety as her two major goals if elected to the Lakewood City Council.

The annual tournament hosted by the Valley Christian girls basketball program hasn’t been too kind for the Lady Crusaders or any of the nearby local schools. In fact, it has been North Torrance that has been stealing the thunder, and the top hardware, since 2004. For the second time in the past three seasons and the fourth time since 2005, Gahr was the victim to the Saxons in the championship game of the tournament. Last Saturday, the Gladiators couldn’t keep up in the second half and fell 48-32, giving North Torrance its 13th straight victory in the Valley Christian Tournament and its sixth championship in the past seven seasons. Last season, the Saxons defeated the Lady Crusaders 62-39 in the title game and two seasons ago, they knocked off Gahr 56-52 for the top prize. Gahr never led in the game but had closed to within three points twice early in the third quarter. However, North Torrance went on a 16-4 run to hold a 39-24 advantage with 6:01 left in the game. “Every loose ball they got,” said Gahr head coach Al Dorogusker. “Every ball that was contested they got. Smaller girls out-rebounded our girls. We were bigger than them and stronger than them and yet it didn’t seem that way.” The Gladiators (5-4) were trailing 11-2 out of the gates as they were true on one of their first 12 shots from the field. But a steal and assist from junior P.J. King led to a basket from Montana State University-bound Symone Brown at the end of the first quarter. Then King scored from a steal and assist from sophomore Jewelyn Sawyer to begin the second quarter which made the score 11-9 in favor of the Saxons. That was the last field goal for Gahr until 74 seconds remained in the half. That’s when the Gladiators scored the final four points of the half to trail 19-15. Gahr was five of 31 from the field in the first half, shot 50 percent from the free throw line and didn’t have anyone score more than four points. But the Saxons were four of 14 from the line which kept Gahr in the game. “Our goal is to keep a team at 10 or [fewer points] per quarter and we did that in the first half,” Dorogusker said. “In the second half, I thought it was their aggressiveness and their determination that absolutely beat us.” A three-pointer from Brown a minute and a half into the third quarter and a basket from Sawyer moments later brought
Gahr back to within three points. That’s when North Torrance went on its long run to put the game away. “What you have to do to gain your momentum is you have to turn them over,” Dorogusker said. “That’s number one. Number two is you have to make a couple of difficult shots. We didn’t do that and that could have put a little fright in them. They’re one of the best coached teams around.” Brown led the Gladiators with 14 points while Sawyer added seven along with nine rebounds. They were named to the All-Tournament team. Junior Alii Salone led the team with 11 rebounds. Preceding the game, V.C. was hoping to rebound from a disappointing loss to Gahr the night before and early on against Crescenta Valley in the third place game, it looked as if the Lady Crusaders would have a hangover. V.C. trailed 13-2 within the first five minutes and never led in the first half. But a strong second half lifted the hosts to a 54-45 victory over the Falcons. “We came out tired from the night before and it was a hard fight from the night before,” said V.C. head coach Katie Hardeman. “I was just proud that my girls were able to rally back after that. They didn’t let that get into their heads. They were mentally tough.” The Lady Crusaders found themselves trailing 28-16 midway through the second quarter but a pair of free throws and a three-pointer from junior Kari Korver ignited a 9-0 run to finish the first half. V.C. was nine of 26 from the field in the half but all of that changed once the teams returned from intermission. Korver’s second long range shot tied the game at 30-30 a little more than a minute into the third quarter. Four minutes later, senior Jelissa Holder picked up one of her two steals, fed a pass to Korver who passed back to Holder who put it through the basket for V.C.’s first lead of the game. Korver (twice) and junior Nia Archer would score three straight baskets to give the hosts a 40-34 lead entering the final stanza. “They’re tough to break; that was beautiful,” Hardeman said of the HolderKorver connection. “That was just good basketball. It was that passing and finishing which we don’t have that too often.” By now, V.C. was running on all cylinders and even when Crescenta Valley trailed by two points with 2:40 left in the game, senior Jamie Perez put back an offensive rebound, Korver added her fourth three-pointer of the game and Holder scored off her second steal to wrap up the game. Korver led the team with 23 points while Holder added 10. The two of them were named to the All-Tournament team. Junior Kristen Lester came off the bench to grab seven rebounds. One of the best games of tournament was last Friday night when Gahr survived a late V.C. rally and escaped with a 65-59 victory. The lead changed hands six times in the first half and when Ko-

rver drained her third of four perimeter shots, the Lady Crusaders were leading 30-22 with 2:39 left in the first half. But Gahr closed the half on a 10-0 run. V.C. began the second half on a tear with a nifty 11-4 run following a Perez trifecta. But the Gladiators responded and took the lead for good when Sawyer hit a pair of free throws with 1:09 left in the third quarter. Brown then put an exclamation point on the rally with consecutive three-pointers, the second while being fouled. “It was incredibly frustrating,” Hardeman said. “I felt like we were the better team and we should have won. I told the girls we would lose if they scored on fast breaks and if they were able to get offensive boards and that’s what they were able to do. All of our shots were hard shots.” Korver led everyone with 33 points, 10 rebounds, three assists and three steals but was one of three V.C. players to foul out. Holder added 10 points while Archer pulled down 10 boards. Sawyer led the Gladiators with 23 points and 11 rebounds and was 11 of 13 from the charity stripe. Brown pitched in with 21 points and seven rebounds. For the tournament, Korver led all scorers with 110 points followed by Brown with 75, Whitney freshmen Rachel Nagel (73) and Reyna Ta’amu (71), Sawyer (65) and Holder (41). “I felt like there was some great competition just with teams with great players where teams had to be smart and shut down the dominant players,” Hardeman said. V.C., like its neighbors on the other side of the 605 freeway, is 5-4 and both teams will participate in the Gahr Varsity Winter Classic beginning on Monday. The Lady Crusaders will play Torrance while Gahr squares off against Norwalk. “You have to look at who we’ve played,” Hardeman said. “We’re playing Bonita, we’re playing Bishop Amat, and we’re playing JSerra. We’re getting ready for CIF, so I don’t worry about our record at all.”
Lady Dons turn it on in second half to crush Gahr By Loren Kopff What began as a competitive battle between the Cerritos and Gahr girls soccer teams turned into a rout within the first nine minutes of the second half. A 1-1 affair at intermission ended in a resounding 6-1 Cerritos victory last Thursday for its second straight home victory over its city and ABC School District rival. It took Cerritos just five minutes to begin the fireworks as sophomore midfielder Analisa Marquez snuck in a goal

that was misplayed by the Gahr defense. But 10 minutes later, Gahr junior midfielder Andrea Castro took a free kick that bounced just above the head of Cerritos senior goalkeeper Erin Sagubo. It was second goal scored by the Gladiators (0-4-1) this season, both by Castro. The Lady Dons (4-1-0) had a chance to score late in the first half but a shot from sophomore forward Connie Caliz trickled in front of Gahr net. Then one minute before halftime, the Gladiators missed a golden opportunity when senior midfielder Gabby Bermejo’s shot was tipped up by Sagubo towards the upper right corner. Cerritos outshot Gahr 4-2 in the half but that all changed in a hurry in the second half. “The first half was definitely not the team I know we can be,” said Cerritos head coach Victoria Lathrop. “At halftime we talked about touch of possession and maintaining that. With that, we control the game. I thought we did that much better in the second half.” Three minutes into the second half, Marquez was stopped on a breakaway but two minutes later, junior midfielder Sarah Pasos connected on a free kick from 25 yards out that landed in the upper left corner of the net. One minute later, senior midfielder Paige Larkin scored on a penalty kick. Then in the 49th minute, Pasos took another free kick that bounced off of Gahr junior goalie Lisa Mendes but Caliz was right there to put in the follow-up shot. Cerritos continued the onslaught in the 53rd minute when Caliz scored off a free kick taken by senior midfielder Bianca Frontino. It was the third goal of the season to that point for Caliz, who would then add two more against Whittier and one against La Habra last Saturday in the Bellflower Tournament. The final tally of the game came in the 62nd minute when Pasos fed a pass to Marquez who knocked in her second of three goals thus far. The Lady Dons peppered Mendes for 16 shots in the second half, who saved four of them. Cerritos now owns a 6-3 record against Gahr since 1997 and has won five of the past six meetings. The teams did not play each other in 1997, 2000, 2001, 2006 and 2008 and this was the second straight season the game was played at Cerritos. “That’s always the hard thing when you have a rivalry like that,” Lathrop said. “It’s easy to think about what you’ve done in the past. But regardless of who we play, we have to be able to respect them and figure that they’re going to bring their best game. I think Gahr did really well. They definitely challenged us.” The Lady Dons began the season with a 6-1 loss to Fullerton in a rematch of last season’s first round postseason game. Then on Dec. 7, Cerritos blasted Rancho Alamitos 5-0 before hosting Gahr. The team defeated Whittier 8-1 behind a hat trick from Frontino and a pair of goals from Larkin and blanked La Habra 1-0
in the opening rounds of the Bellflower Tournament. Cerritos was to face Mayfair this past Monday but the rest of the tournament was cancelled due to the recent inclement weather. “I opted for a lighter preseason but I picked harder teams,” Lathrop said. “For us having three actual games, it’s going to take us a couple of more games. By the time we hit league, then we’ll be ready to go.” Cerritos begins Suburban League action on Jan. 5 at Artesia while Gahr hosts Downey on Jan. 11.
Artesia routs Bishop Conaty for second win of season By Loren Kopff MONTEBELLO-Times have been tough this season for the Artesia girls basketball team but with seven players on the squad, the Pioneers put the hurt on someone else. Paced by a career-high 22 points from senior Elaine Young, the Pioneers had little problems with Bishop Conaty 49-18 this past Tuesday evening in the third of five games at the Cantwell Sacred Heart of Mary Cardinal Classic. The win was just the second in seven games for first-year head coach Lonnie Hinchen and both victories have been by an average of 26 points. Last season, the Pioneers won just three games all season, none coming in the 2010 calendar year. “Right now I think we’re trying to get stronger on defense, do a better job of trapping and getting my style of game implemented into our system,” Hinchen said. “I’m getting great guard play from Elaine and [senior Tehsuan] Chao.” Young shot 50 percent from the field with a pair of three-pointers and was

eight of 15 from the free throw line. She scored half a dozen points in the first quarter as Artesia raced out to a 10-4 lead and never looked back. Artesia, which was playing its second game in three hours, pounded the boards to the tune of 50 rebounds and harassed the Wildcats for 16 steals. Junior Alexis Newson led everyone with 16 boards while Chao and junior Dana Arrington each pitched in with nine rebounds. Young and junior Tina Heng each had four steals even when the tempo slowed down a bit in the second half. Earlier, the Pioneers concluded pool play action with a 51-39 loss to Lakewood behind Young (15 points, nine rebounds), Chao (13 points, 10 rebounds, three steals) and Arrington (15 points, three assists). As a team, the Pioneers picked up 46 rebounds. Artesia stayed close with the Lancers and trailed 19-18 midway through the second quarter before Lakewood ended the first half on a 10-2 run. This past Monday, Artesia fell to St. Joseph 57-35 with Chao scoring 11 points and Young 10 points. One of the biggest disappointments thus far has come from Arrington, who has scored in double figures just once. Last season, she was the team’s leading scorer and was also a huge rebounding force. “There are some tweaks I need to work on with her shots and her hand,” Hinchen said. “She’s not getting a real release right now. Her footwork is good and her positioning is good. I need to push her down on the block a little more. But I think she’ll be fine by the time the league season starts.” Artesia played the winner of the Price/Pomona Catholic game on Dec. 23 and will conclude the tournament either on Monday or Tuesday. The Suburban League opener is Jan. 5 against Cerritos.

The City Manager said to alleviate the noise level and potential crime activities in the affected neighborhoods, the business owner is required to obey and maintain the conditions specified in the Conditional Use Permit approved by the Council. This includes providing a minimum of one state licensed/certified security guard with a valid business license with the city of Artesia at any given time while conducting disc jockey or other live entertainment in the premises. In other business a bid in the amount of $149,000 was awarded to G.

Continued from page 1 American Federation of Teachers officials suggested he visit ABC and take a look at the what is done in the office and in the classroom where the important work is done. She said the Obama administration is going to hold a national conference on collaborative school reform in February hosted by the Department of Education and the ABCUSD has been asked to make a presentation at the conference. “We’re hoping by his visit Mr. Rose saw where the important work is done, in the classrooms,” stated Dr. Smuts. He visited two schools, Fedde Middle School and Juarez Elementary School. Rico described the visit as “a big big deal.” She said the Department of Education was given two school districts to visit in the country regarding labor management partnerships and ABC was one of them. "They came to ABC to see what we are doing here. We have challenges in the District and we are working them out together. Former Board President Celia Spitzer said Ross seemed to be impressed with our school district and the extent of our partnership with the union. Rico said every year there AFT holds a conference on school improvement, teamwork, communication, data and professional development. She said Tetzlaff Middle School principal and a union representative from ABC have been asked to present a session on how partnerships work in schools based on the AFT innovation Grant at the AFT Center for School Improvement conference. “People want to know what we are doing,” she said. She added she had attended an AFT conference in Washington D.C. where teachers from states such as Detroit Michigan, Lowell Mass., St Louis, and Lynn Mass.

SOROPTIMISTS
Continued from page 1 ca’ will be fun to work with as we try to incorporate the glamour of a Morrocan city of Casablanca into a 1940’s atmosphere.” Though Soroptimists try to raise money all year long, Monte Carlo is their major fundraiser. All proceeds from the event will support local charities including Su Casa (a shelter for battered women and children) and Family Guidance Center (which offers counseling for abused children and families). A portion of the proceeds will also be used toward scholarships to help local women and children in our community. “Our charities need our help even more during these rough recessionary times, as local families undergo additional stress due to economic worries,” said Co-Presidents Lou Kaku and Kathy Lovell. “We need more support from the community more than ever. People can support the event in a number of ways including sponsoring a portion of the event, donating raffle prizes and buying raffle or event tickets.” “Sponsorships range from $100 to $5000 and include tickets for Monte Carlo Night. Additionally, our sponsors have signage at the event,” Lou Kaku explained. “The signage is a great way for attendees to see who supports our local charities as all sponsors are acknowledged the night of the event.” “As for donations, all items whether large or small is greatly appreciated,” Kathy Lovell added. In the past, local businesses and community people have donated gift cards, gift certificates, hotel stays, electronic goods, and even their professional services. “In these difficult economic times, we are looking for community members to open their hearts and help support our local families & charity groups in any way they can.” The success of the Monte Carlo Night has always been highly dependent on the generosity of the local community to make it a big success. For more information regarding sponsorships, donations, or tickets call Chairperson Christina Alosi at 714-292-0910.

secure trunk space; therefore the owners will leave valuable items inside the passenger compartment. Keep this in mind if you drive one of these vehicles, and make sure that you do not leave anything of value inside. Vehicle thefts rose by two after four were reported last week. High-volume commercial parking lots were involved in three of the thefts and the other occurred in a residential neighborhood. Two SUVs, a Toyota, and a Honda were stolen. The 2010 weekly average in vehicle thefts is 4.5. As with car burglary, you can be your own best police officer by using a steering wheel locking device (especially if your car is over about ten years old
and is an older model Toyota or Honda). Statistics from last week indicate that your driveway is not exempt. If you cannot lock your car in the garage, protect it with one of these devices. The next Neighborhood Watch Town Hall Meeting is scheduled for Wednesday January 12, 2011 at 7:00 p.m. It will be held at the Cerritos Senior Center located at South St. and Ely Ave. See you there!

Continued from page 5 handgun. The highlighting measure of its security system, however, is the amount of interrogation demonstrated at the airport. “I wouldn't see how it would be any different from maybe having a stronger metal detection, saving us some embarrassment at the same time,” says Carlos Rodriguez. “The pat down is very invasive to your personal space. Metal detectors should be sufficient. The use of a body pat down should only be a secondary or backup for technology,” says Kristy Caras. Her husband, Rio Caras, begs to differ on the issue. “I understand that for a frequent flyer, the Department of Homeland Security wants to ensure safe travel and I support that. If the intention is for safe travel, I have no reason to be against it. It might be a little inconvenient, but it
also is a method of looking out for us.” There have been talks with the Operations and Safety Editor of Flight International on how air travel may be made a more secure method of travel. He mentions tips such as having armed guards on board, tightening security on the pilot's cabin, banning hand luggage, and other forms of in-craft measures. Many of these would be troublesome or uncomfortable for passengers, but would take security to a different level, he says. The US Environmental Protection Agency currently uses a few institutions to protect passengers. The Department of Homeland Security, the Food and Drug Administration, and the other various state regulatory agencies. Most consider the newly instituted security methods to be a troublesome and privacy-breaching method, though very few deny its effectiveness. July Shin, a Cerritos resident, said that “the body scanners goes against my privacy right. I would rather accept a pat down, even though reluctantly. Despite that, at least the screenings are not saved.”
