BELLFLOWER'S MAIN STREET NOMINATED AS AMERICA'S BEST

EARTH DAY CLEAN-UP AT PADELFORD PARK IN ARTESIA FREE LIBRARY CARDS FOR BUSD STUDENTS REACHES TWENTY-SIX, NOT '12,000' CLAIMED BY RESIDENTS

BY TAMMYE MCDUFF Independent We Stand is a national small business movement, and has kicked-off its fourth Annual America’s Main Street contest; downtown Bellflower is among this year’s nominees. “Our Main Street contest shines a light on business owners and communities that take pride in their Main Streets,” says Independent We Stand co-founder Bill Brunelle, “we know small businesses help their local Main Streets thrive and have a measurable economic impact. This contest is a chance to share those stories with people from coast-to-coast.” The City of Bellflower boasts a histor-

NORWALK CITY COUNCIL'S ANNUAL REORGANIZATION BY TAMMYE MCDUFF The Norwalk City Council went through its annual reorganization this past Tuesday April 2, nominating Margarita Rios as Mayor and Luigi Vernola as Vice Mayor. Outgoing Mayor Jennifer Perez said, “As you all know I am a huge baseball fan. Whether it is watching the Dodgers play or watching our little league play at

local fields. Last year at this very meeting, I mentioned that progress always involves risks. You cannot steal second without taking your foot off of first base.” This year Perez said the City of Norwalk not only stole bases, but hit home runs and the City played a great game to the best of its ability, adding that that momentum in the City is strong and will not stop. “As a team, we listened to you the residents and your collective vision for

Norwalk,” said Perez. “It has been a year I will never forget. Serving my community as Mayor has been an absolute honor and privilege. I will be eternally grateful for your patience and support to me and to my family, but also to our City. To our team at city hall, I want you to know none of this could be done without you.” Perez thanked her Council colleagues for their support and dedication to the City, ”Our Council is strong and vibrant and like no other, and for that I am so proud to sit on this dias with all of you.” In other news, the council approved its Economic Development Opportunities Plan which aims increase business growth in all areas of the City, including ten economic nodes. “This is a big deal,” said Perez, “I think we all need to thank Council members and the City Manager for this accomplishment. We took the challenge head on and we succeeded.” The Council has made it a point to be out and involved in the city more than ever. Visiting residents and businesses alike, paying attention to concerns and needs through Community Forums and Neighborhood Watch Parties. Stronger partnerships were formed with the Sheriff’s Department, by hiring additional Public Safety Officers and purchasing new patrol vehicles. “Your feedback has been instrumental in the vision for the City,” stated Perez, “we are the residents, we are the businesses, the stake holders and we have a say together.”

In December of last year, Hews Media Group-Community News reported about a group of angry Cerritos residents who were using several anonymous Facebook pages to advance outright lies and false messages on social media attempting to mislead residents after the Cerritos City Council, on a 4-1 vote, allowed Bellflower Unified students to have free Cerritos Library cards. Part of Cerritos is inside the boundaries of Bellflower Unified and the argument was if ABC students receive free library cards, why not BUSD. The residents argued that the initial 4-1 vote was illegal which was refuted by City Attorney Mark Steres, who indicated at a Council meeting that the vote was completely above-board. Only Jim Edwards, a former teacher and product of Bellflower Unified, voted no, with Edwards quickly becoming the angry residents’ darling, some of whom are Democrats on the opposite end of Edwards. The second argument was a bit more controversial with the residents using scare tactics writing that “all 12,000 Bellflower Unified students will sign up for free cards and cost the City $1.2 million.” Library cards are $100 each. In a typical social media post fashion, no back-up was provided, another clear move by the residents to discredit the four who voted for the cards and advance their own political agenda, which is decidedly Republican.

make progress in its tree trimming efforts throughout the community, and Cerritos was named a Tree City USA for the 21st straight year. In street maintenance, Carmenita Road from South Street to 183rd Street was repaved, as was a portion of Del Amo Boulevard. The City also received a $360,000 grant from the Caltrans Highway Safety Improvement Program for traffic signal improvements at Bloomfield Avenue and 166th Street. In also keeping safety a priority, the City accepted an $18,000 donation from the Picerne Family Foundation, which was used to purchase nine high-performance ballistic vests for the Cerritos Sheriff's Station. The vests will be used by deputies assigned to the Special Assignment Team, which specializes in burglary suppression. The City augmented the contribution by purchasing additional safety equipment. New businesses that opened in Cerritos included Eureka! restaurant in the Plaza 183 shopping center and HomeGoods in the Cerritos Towne Center. The Cerritos Mazda dealership in the Cerritos Auto Square was renovated, and improvements at the Penske Jaguar/Land Rover of Cerritos dealership are nearly complete. A remodel at the Sheraton Cerritos Hotel was recently celebrated with a ribbon cutting event. The project included room upgrades, updated lobby areas and event spaces, an improved business center, newly updated ballrooms and meeting rooms, landscape and hardscape improvements and a new configuration to the bar and restaurant. The Cerritos Center for the Performing Arts (CCPA) kicked off its 2018-2019 Season last September with an unforgettable concert by country music superstar Martina McBride.

The CCPA’s Arts Education program continued to thrive with a generous $110,000 donation from Los Angeles County Supervisor Janice Hahn, which allowed the City to offer eight educational performances to thousands of schoolchildren from throughout the area. Earlier this year, Southern California Edison finished converting the streetlights in all residential tracts and arterial streets to newer Light Emitting Diode (LED) technology. The new lights will result in a savings to the City due to reduced energy usage. In February, I was pleased to attend the 25th anniversary celebration of the Cerritos Senior Center at Pat Nixon Park. Since 1994, the Cerritos Senior Center has provided a welcome space for Cerritos seniors to socialize, participate in educational programs, receive social services and enjoy recreational activities. It has become a vital part of our City and the heart of our senior community. It was an honor this past year to join in the City’s celebration of Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month in May, National Hispanic Heritage Month in September and October and African American History Month in February. Several community leaders and students were recognized for their achievements as part of these special months. In closing, I would like to thank Cerritos residents for their support this past year. I look forward to continuing to work with my City Council colleagues to make Cerritos the best possible community that it can be. As always, I encourage you to reach out to me with any suggestions, concerns or questions. You can contact me at City Hall at (562) 860-0311 or send me an e-mail through the City’s website at cerritos.us.

GRIDLEY PARK AND RESERVOIR HILL PARK IMPROVEMENTS APPROVED The Cerritos City Council recently awarded a $298,928.85 contract to RE Schultz Construction, Inc. for improvements at Gridley Park and Reservoir Hill Park. The project includes upgrading the playground equipment and resurfacing

the playgrounds at both parks. Because the work complies with the Americans With Disabilities Act, funds from the Community Development Block Grant will be used to pay for the playground surfacing.The work is expected to be completed by June.

BY SHEFALI LUTHRA

ood and Drug Administration Commissioner Scott Gottlieb is leaving, with city and county public health officials now urging the Trump administration to go bigger in its response to adolescents’ growing use of e-cigarettes. Experts see youth vaping rates at epidemic levels: In 2018, about 1 in 5 high school-age students were reported to use electronic cigarettes, according to data from the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. “There’s an entire generation of youth becoming addicted to nicotine,” said Dr. Sarah Cody, who runs the Santa Clara County, Calif., health department. And the consequences are vast. Jerry Berkson, an assistant principal at Palo Alto High School in California, said his desk is full of vapes he has confiscated from students. For more than a month this school year, the administration had to shut down certain bathrooms during class time so that students wouldn’t go there to smoke. Increasingly, students have missed large chunks of class because illicit e-cigarettes keep setting off the fire alarm. Use by adolescents, who appear to be lured by the flavored juices that fuel these vapes, pose a concern. Even without tobacco, nicotine addiction and exposure can severely damage a young person’s brain. Plus, some users will, medical experts say, end up transitioning to tobaccofilled products. As vaping rates among teens climb, the FDA has made a high-profile effort to address the public health concern without trampling on adults’ rights. The agency in 2016 classified electronic cigarettes as tobacco products that fall under its regulatory jurisdiction. Gottlieb, whose almost two-year tenure heading the agency won praise for advancing key regulations in an administration geared toward deregulation, plans to leave April 5, with his farewell tour emphasizing his work on e-cigarettes. His departure, though, highlights a complicated, two-track story. In Washington, Gottlieb has been credited with taking on Big Tobacco and the e-cigarette industry. But health officials on the front lines say they want more federal action. “We were encouraged by some of the statements and actions of the [outgoing] FDA commissioner,” said Bill Snook, a spokesman at the health department in Kansas City, Mo. But Dr. Cody views the steps taken by the FDA as “too little and too late.” She pointed to proposed regulations that haven’t taken effect and to limits on how flavored vapes are sold that she and others argued did not go far enough. Gretchen Musicant, who heads Minneapolis’ health department, agreed. “Their action so far is not demonstrable,” she

said. Now, they are waiting to see what Gottlieb’s permanent successor — who has yet to be named — will do. Dr. Norman “Ned” Sharpless, director of the National Cancer Institute, will fill Gottlieb’s role on an interim basis and has been a vocal supporter of efforts to curb e-cigarette use. It’s a complex issue for federal regulators, though. E-cigarettes, which don’t burn tobacco but do contain nicotine, have found champions among adult smokers trying to quit. Many say the devices provide a less damaging alternative — and are more effective than nicotine patches or nicotine gum. Gottlieb has threatened e-cig manufacturers, saying the FDA would ban their products if companies didn’t take steps to combat youth vaping. His declaration that youth vaping constituted an “epidemic” has brought attention to the issue, said Samir Soneji, an associate professor of health policy at the Dartmouth Institute. And, during a recent wide-ranging interview with KHN, Gottlieb reiterated his expectation that “the FDA is prepared to look at banning” these products, specifically mentioning the products that use flavored pods, or cartridges, “because those are the ones kids are abusing.” Last week, the agency put out a draft guidance that would bar the sale of fruitand candy-flavored e-cigarettes in places easily accessible to young people. It would also require manufacturers to submit documentation by 2021 showing that flavored products meet public health standards in order to gain the FDA’s approval. Until then, those flavors could stay on the market. Those steps have won praise from some experts. “These actions show … an appropriate response to the rapidly escalating youth ecigarette epidemic,” said Steven Kelder, an epidemiology professor at the University of Texas School of Public Health in Austin. But others worry this is part of a broader pattern: federal action that takes too long and is too narrow to have the needed effect. Critics say that giving manufacturers until 2021 to get a federal OK — and leaving flavored products on the market until then — means more years for children to develop nicotine addictions or transition from electronic cigarettes to conventional tobacco products. “They’re proposing things and putting them off into the future. But the actual enactment of their recommendations has not happened yet,” said Minneapolis’ Musicant. Also, the restrictions on flavors don’t touch menthol- or mint-flavored products, which are used by more than 50 percent of young vapers, according to CDC data. Multiple local public health advocates

THE YOUTH Vaping epidemic

highlighted mint and menthol flavors as a major concern when it comes to youth use but note that federal regulators have not addressed the issue. This was a theme at a recent gathering in Washington, D.C., of the Big Cities Health Coalition, an organization of health departments from around the country. “They need to be included in the ban,” said Snook, of Kansas City. Other health lobbies, such as the American Heart Association and the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids, have made the same argument. In a statement, Gottlieb suggested that the FDA would take a harder look at those flavors if they continued to pose a problem — and said the agency is not restricting them, for now, because of their appeal to adults trying to quit tobacco. “We won’t ignore data regarding the popularity of mint- and menthol-flavored [vapes] among kids, should the concern rise,” Gottlieb said. “We’ll continue to use all available resources to monitor the rates and use patterns among youth and adults for these products, and we’ll reconsider our policies with respect to these products, if appropriate.” States and counties have taken steps on their own. The FDA’s response so far, Musicant said, spurred Minneapolis to take action — restricting the sale of flavored products to stores where only adults 18 and older can enter and raising the tobacco age to 21. But there are limits to what the city and even state can do. (Online sales, for instance, are a major vape source for young people and can’t be addressed without federal input.) San Francisco has banned the sale of any flavored tobacco product, a law encompassing e-cigarettes and conventional ones, and it is weighing a ban on e-cig sales altogether, until the products have FDA ap-

proval. In Santa Clara County, only adult vape shops can sell e-cigs, Cody said. Locally based policies will quickly hit a ceiling, Soneji said. They create a potential for a “black market” — a San Francisco resident could pick up e-cigarettes in neighboring Oakland, for instance. That problem doesn’t exist if the federal government steps in, he added. And delays matter substantially, especially given the speed with which adolescent vaping has taken off. “The pace at which this epidemic is developing is shockingly fast,” Cody said. “That means the response has to be so fast — and it’s not.” Kaiser Health News (KHN) is a national health policy news service.

It’s a spectrum disorder that affects individuals in many different ways and on a varying range of levels. “Autism is a disorder that can’t be overlooked or ignored, but needs to be embraced,” says Gary Feldman, M.D., medical director, Stramski Children’s Developmental Center. “Early interventions and finding support can have a strong influence in the long-term, and really help families find the appropriate therapies and developmental support for their child.” To raise awareness and to show the prevalence of autism, attendees dressed in blue and placed one large blue and white pinwheel surrounded by 58 smaller A SEA OF BLUE appears outside Miller Children’s & Women’s Hospital made up blue pinwheels on the Miller Children’s of hundreds who support those affected by autism in the community at the annual & Women’s lawn to represent the 1 in “Light It Up Blue” awareness event. 59 children diagnosed with autism in the U.S. Patients and families also took part opmental Center. “It brings together the developmental conditions, such as auin sensory activities like making blue community in support of our patients tism, Fragile X, ADHD/ADD, Down slime and blowing bubbles.

ARTESIA PREPARING FOR 60TH ANNIVERSARY BY TAMMYE MCDUFF On May 29, 2019, the City of Artesia will be celebrating their 60th Anniversary of incorporation. In celebration of this landmark anniversary, the City is preparing for an exciting calendar of events throughout the spring and summer. The small village of Artesia has grown to be the home of over 16,000 residents. The area that was known for dairy farms and chicken ranches is now one of the most diverse and eclectic towns in Southern California. In an entertaining ‘back-to-the-future’ type letter to Artesia’s first mayor, W.E. Padelford, current mayor Tony Lima addressed the history: past, present and future of Artesia. Lima writes: “It looks like growth was the theme in 1959, Mr. Padelford. The United States added two states; Alaska and Hawaii. I lot of hope in your day was that Cuba would flourish under new President Castro. Trust me, don’t try to visit there. I also see that there were concerns in your day about what to do with Pioneer Boulevard. Should it be two lanes or four? It’s still a hot topic. I understand that res-

idents could buy a nice house in Artesia for $9,200. In 2019, that same house will cost $650,000. You could fill your car for $5.00 at $0.25 a gallon, today I pay $3.20 a gallon!” “I wish Mayor Padelford, could be here for this anniversary,” says Lima, “There are so many activities and it would be wonderful to have him at our kick-off dinner. Maybe he could enjoy an ice cream social or visit the Historical Museum. So much has changed, but one thing remains, Artesia is a great place to live.” Anniversary activities scheduled are: 60th Anniversary Kick-Off Dinner May 29 60th Anniversary Carnival – June 7-9Pioneer Day Parade and 60th Anniversary Ice Cream Social - June 8 Mile Run, Parade, and Fireworks Extravaganza - July 4 60th Anniversary Golf Tournament - July 27 The City will share additional details about these events as soon as they become available. Check the City’s website, Facebook, and Instagram pages for more information in the coming weeks. “The City looks forward to welcoming the community in commemorating the history of Artesia and all this City offers in the coming months,” said Lima.

BY LOREN KOPFF @LORENKOPFF ON TWITTER The beginning of the much-anticipated home and home series between Cerritos High and John Glenn High went as expected, considering that these two baseball squads were predicted to win the 605 League. Cerritos senior pitcher Matthew Pinal and Glenn senior hurler Joseph Angulo were locked in a pitcher’s duel until the host Dons blew the game wide open in the bottom of the sixth inning. This was a contest that Glenn head coach Jack Brooks agreed was ‘a great game for five innings’. Cerritos head coach Brooks Walling echoed similar sentiments, but in the end, the hosts distanced themselves from the struggling Eagles, claiming an 8-1 victory this past Tuesday that left the Dons, winners of five straight games, at 12-6 overall, but more importantly undefeated in three league games. Pinal, who went the distance for the first time this season, threw 83 pitches, yielded four hits and struck out four. He threw four or fewer pitches to 18 of the 25 batters he faced. “I went with my best guy, our other ace, and after Glenn drops two to Oxford [Academy], I wanted to drive a nail in their coffin today,” Walling said. “We’re 3-0 and pretty much in the driver’s seat and looking good with Oxford. “When you step on the field with Jack, it’s going to be a grind,” he continued. “And they grinded for five innings. It kind of fell apart in the sixth.” Brooks, on the other hand, was hoping his team was 2-0 entering the game, but the Eagles were swept by Oxford Academy by a combined score of 15-3, leaving them now at 7-9. Glenn is going through its second straight season without a home as work is still being done on a new baseball field. “These kids have done a great job,” Brooks said. “It’s been really tough this year without…and it shows.

In the first inning, we kind of gave them a run with a hit by pitch and a walk to start the game. But we got out of it and started to settle down.” Angulo wasn’t bad either after the first two innings. After DeLeon’s double, Angulo retired the next seven before yielding a triple to sophomore third baseman Nick Hill. But Angulo, who has three wins in six starts with a pair of complete games, struggled in the bottom of the sixth inning. He would load the bases on a double to Manibusan, an intentional walk to Hill and by hitting pinch hitter Quincy Quinbrantar. Angulo’s day would end after giving up a single to freshman left fielder Owen Gott and hitting junior pinch hitter Jacob De La Rosa. Glenn senior pitcher Christian Leon was then greeted by Aguinaga’s two-run double and Pinal’s two-run single. “He had a wild first inning, real wild, and we manufactured [a run],” Walling said of Angulo. “He settled down and he’s a good pitcher. He’s their number one, I’m guessing. There’s a reason for that. He figured it out in [innings] three, four and five and we hammered him in the sixth.” Glenn’s lone run came in the top of the fifth inning when Figueroa doubled to center with two outs, moved to third when senior Julian Marrujo reached on an error and came home on a wild pitch. Figueroa would collect a pair of hits and was the only Eagle to get past second base. “Figgy’s a stud; he’s one of the best players in the area,” Brooks said. “He went two for three off Pinal. He smoked those balls and he made seven or eight [assists] at shortstop. He’s a great player.” Cerritos had seven hits with Gott going two for three and five others with one hit. The two will meet again today with

MANDATORY PRE-BID MEETING:

Library

Cerritos resident Elaine Shiohama wrote on Facebook, “This is essentially a gift of $1.2 million to the BUSD district from the city. It is not fiscally responsible to give a gift of this size especially since not long ago the residents were threatened with budget cuts that would have restricted library access.” Mayor Mark Pulido, and Council persons Frank Yokoyama and Grace Hu voted for the free cards; Mayor pro tem Naresh Solanki, a registered Republican surprised many by voting for the cards.

Months have passed since the passage of free library cards and the numbers are in: 26 students from BUSD have taken advantage of the free library cards. The numbers are in direct correlation to the current library card allocation. 19,640 people hold library cards, only 295, or 1.5%, are actually paid, meaning 98.5% of the library cards are free. That is $1.9 million in free cards. Eight of the 295 paid cards are classified as child or young adults. Given those numbers, the 26 BUSD sign-ups followed the paid/free library card ratio almost perfectly.

You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 800-280-2832 for information regarding the trustee's sale or visit this Internet Web site http://www.qualityloan.com, using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-18-844496-BF. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the property address or other common designation, if any, shown herein. If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale. If the sale is set aside for any reason, including if the Trustee is unable to convey title, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the monies paid to the Trustee. This shall be the Purchaser's sole and exclusive remedy. The purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Trustor, the Trustee, the Beneficiary, the Beneficiary's Agent, or the Beneficiary's Attorney. If you have previously been discharged through bankruptcy, you may have been released of personal liability for this loan in which case this letter is intended to exercise the note holders right's against the real property only.
