State Senator Archuleta Helps Bring Vietnam War Journalist’s Remains Home

Los Angeles County Public Health to investigate measles outbreak

BY BRIAN HEWS Almost 52 years ago a plane crashed over Vietnam, killing all souls aboard including Navy War Journalist Raul Guerra. Guerra was born and raised in Montebello attending Montebello High and Eastmont Elementary, where he met his eventual best friend Ruben Valencia. And now Ruben, with the help of State Senator Bob Archuleta (D-Norwalk), and U.S. Reps. Grace Napolitano and Linda Sanchez, is bringing Guerra’s remains home for burial.

FINALLY HOME: Navy officers and enlisted persons carry the casket with Raul Guerra's remains to its final resting place. Guerra was killed in Vietnam 52 years ago, but no one claimed his remains. His best friend, Ruben Valencia, fought for twelve years to get the remains back for burial without success. Only after State Senator Bob Archuleta intervened did the Department of Defense finally release Guerra.

Two exclusive articles written by Hews Media Group-Los Cerritos Community News Publisher Brian Hews has, according to sources, caused the “removal” of Huntington Park Councilman Jhonny Pineda from his unlikely consideration as city manager of Bell Gardens. HMG–LCCN learned last week that Pineda was being considered for the city manager position, but he only had two votes, Mayor Alejandra Cortez and Councilman Marco Barcena. Cortez and Barcena’s motives to hire Pineda were uncertain given that he has no upper-level municipal management experience. Just days after the first article published, Hews published a picture that strongly indicated the relationship Pineda had with Mayor Cortez, and why she was fighting to get Pineda appointed. The picture, from Montebello Councilman Sal Melendez’ Facebook account, showed Mayor Cortez with Pineda and east Los Angeles political operative Ma-

Hundreds of parents trekked to the state capital this week to try and stop Senate Bill 276 which will tighten California school immunization laws. California already has the toughest laws in the country requiring immunizations in order to attend public or private schools, with only a doctors excuse as a reason not to get immunized. The author of the bill, State Senator Richard Pan, says that doctors have been taking advantage of the loophole, excusing kids who have non-excusable ailments such as asthma or diabetes. Pan also stated that there are unethical doctors taking cash in exchange for a phony excuse notes. The bill also calls for all schools to send their exemptions to the California Public Health Agency for review by 2020. The agency will monitor and maintain the exemption database. There is cause for alarm, a Los Angeles Times analysis of 105 schools showed that 10% of kindergartners have a medical exemption; most studies show that only 3% of students should have a medical exemption. The push to tighten vaccine comes amid the worst measles outbreak in the nation in decades.

CERRITOS HONORED WITH GREEN LEADERSHIP AWARD

AWARD: Cerritos Mayor Naresh Solanki and Councilman Jim Edwards were present to receive the Green Leadership Award in downtown Los Angeles. Artesia and Lakewood also received the award based on sustainability efforts. STAFF REPORT The City of Cerritos was honored with a Green Leadership Award from the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors in recognition of the City’s Reclaimed Water Expansion Project. The Board of Supervisors presented the award to Mayor Naresh Solanki and Councilmember Jim Edwards at the April 23 Board of Supervisors meeting. The Green Leadership Awards recognize outstanding efforts by individuals, cities, businesses and public agencies that raise the bar in improving the County’s environmental sustainability through water conservation, expansion of urban forestry, infrastructure improvements, development and promotion of non-motorized transportation, and programs and initiatives that reduce reliance on fossil fuels and sustain the region’s rich biodiversity. Cerritos Mayor Naresh Solanki said, “The City of Cerritos is proud to receive the Green Leadership Award. Cerritos is committed to preserving natural resources and protecting the environment.”

The City of Cerritos operates and maintains one of the largest reclaimed water operations in the region. In 2016, the City of Cerritos entered into a partnership with the Forest Lawn Memorial Park to address and reduce Forest Lawn’s reliance on potable water for the irrigation of its extensive landscape. The project, coordinated with multiple jurisdictions across Los Angeles and Orange County, included the construction of 2.5 miles of underground reclaimed water pipeline to the memorial park. In its first year of service, the project provided Forest Lawn with 245 acre-feet of reclaimed water, or a savings of 80 million gallons of potable water. Annual savings is estimated at 80-130 million gallons of water. “The County’s Green Leadership Awards are about honoring residents who have gone above and beyond to improve L.A. County’s environmental sustainability. Whether it is discovering new ways to conserve water, planting trees, or utilizing renewable energy, this year’s winners inspire us to make every day Earth Day,” said Supervisor Janice Hahn.

'LOVE LA MIRADA' DAY OF SERVICE SET FOR MAY 4 The fourth annual “Love La Mirada” Day of Service event will be held on Saturday, May 4 from 8 a.m. to noon. Opportunities to participate in a variety of projects will be available including park cleanups and enhancements at local schools. The event will begin at 8 a.m. with a “Love La Mirada” launch rally at Granada Heights Friends Church, located at 11818 La Mirada Boulevard. At the conclusion

of the projects, volunteers will gather to enjoy lunch, music, and other activities. “Love La Mirada” partners with La Mirada organizations, businesses, and schools to improve the City and was inspired by the Love Our Cities movement that began in Modesto, California. To sign up for a service project or to donate, visit the Love La Mirada website at lovelamirada.com.

Just hours after that, Hews was informed by another source that Pineda had been “removed from consideration.” “This is what being a community newspaper is all about,” said the HMGLCCN Publisher Brian Hews, “we are the watchdogs for communities that are not covered by the large daily newspapers due to their limited resources. There's no way Pineda should have ever been considered for the job, it was very questionable of Cortez and Barcena to even consider him.”

AFTER 2018 DROP, CRIME UP 9% IN LAKEWOOD

APRIL 26, 2019

MAN DIES AFTER CRASHING INTO POND IN CERRITOS

STAFF REPORT At their regular Tuesday evening meeting, the Lakewood City Council received a quarterly public safety report from Lakewood Sheriff's Station Acting Commander, Lieutenant David Sprengel. Sprengel gave data on crime in Lakewood for the first quarter of 2019. Because crime was reduced so much in 2018 (by 20%), Sprengel said it would be difficult to have crime numbers continue to fall this year. And in fact, crime increased by 9% in the first quarter of 2019. But Sprengel added, crime in Lakewood remains significantly lower now than in 2016 and 2017, when property crimes like burglaries and auto thefts bumped up after the implementation of state laws reducing penalties and jail time for property thieves. Sprengel said the theft of autos was the most significant increase so far in 2019, with 50 thefts city-wide in January. As a result, with extra funding from the City of Lakewood, the Sheriff's Department utilized saturation patrols, decoy cars and other operations designed to reduce such thefts. Auto thefts have dropped in the ensuing months, down to eight in March Sprengel closed by reporting on response times from the Lakewood Sheriff’s Station, which remain faster than the average in Los Angeles County. Residents are reminded that they can help reduce their risk from property crimes and get to know their neighbors better too by joining the Neighborhood Watch program on their block. To learn more, contact Lakewood's Neighborhood Watch staff at 562-866-9771, extension 2114 or CrimePreventionOffice@lakewoodcity. org.

DOWNEY MAYOR'S CORNER:

BECOME A FOSTER PARENT BY RICK RODRIGUEZ When I ran for office my purpose was and always will be to serve the residents of Downey. These residents include children. During my time in office I have learned that the Downey Mayor need for foster homes Rick Rodriguez continues to grow in Downey and with neighboring cities. The primary purpose of foster care is to provide a safe and stable environment for a child who cannot be with his or her parents. Downey Cares Collaborative was formed to help children that have been displaced from their homes and need a place where they can feel safe. The mission of this group is to cultivate a public-private coalition addressing the needs of children and families who are affected by child abuse and neglect. Many of us are unfamiliar with foster care and may wonder why it is so important. Maybe you have even considered becoming a foster parent but weren’t sure where to start. By opening your home to these children you will help them learn what a stable home looks like. Oftentimes they have suffered from abuse or neglect by their own parents, and have no idea what a loving home should actually be. Foster parents can help them learn

what it’s like to eat, sleep, and play in a place that is safe and secure. Statistics have shown that foster kids are fifty percent more likely to become homeless, develop an addiction, be arrested or not graduate. I believe we are better than that! Being a foster parent gives you the opportunity to teach a kid how to be a kid. With patience and love, a child can learn to laugh and to act their age. Foster parent’s help children understand that there are people who care for them and love them. Opening your home offers a safe transition period for the child while the biological family resolves their issues. Many times fostering can even lead to adoption. Helping a foster child is an essential component of bringing families together and helping kids to grow up and excel in life regardless of what they have gone through. If this sounds like something you would be interested in doing or would simply like more information, please join me on Saturday, May 4, 2019 from 10:00 am to 1:00 pm at New Seasons Church in Downey. Representatives from the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services will be on hand, along with other organizations, to answer questions and give information. Knowing that there are children in our city that need a home truly is heartbreaking. Please join me and Downey Cares Collaborative to help our kids.

BRAVE THE SHAVE: PHYSICIANS AND SUPPORTERS SHAVE HEADS IN SOLIDARITY WITH PEDIATRIC CANCER PATIENTS STAFF REPORT After an emotional and heartfelt head shaving, Miller Children’s & Women’s Hospital Long Beach registered nurse, George Tobo, shares his freshly shaved head with his family. More than 50 people braved the shave in an effort to conquer childhood cancer at the St. Baldrick’s Foundation head-shaving event at Hennessey’s Tavern in Seal Beach on Saturday, April 14. “Shavees” raised more than $66,000 in support of life-saving childhood cancer research in three short hours. Shavees included many of Miller Children’s & Women’s physicians, care team members, patients, families and friends. Each shavee had personal motivations for hitting the stage — for some it was their own fight against cancer. Breathing in deep as the clippers touched her head, 13-year-old Jillian Litton, was not only a first time shave, but also a cancer survivor and former patient of Jonathan Jaques Children’s Cancer Institute at Miller Children’s & Women’s. The Jonathan Jaques Children’s Cancer Institute at Miller Children’s & Women’s is dedicated to participating in research and clinical trials to identify cancer causes and pioneer treatments for patients like Litton. “Jillian was only 1 and a half years old when she was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia,” said Michelle Litton, Jillian’s mother. “Now she’s 13, and she wanted to take on the challenge of shaving her head in honor of all kids that are faced with cancer. In addition to first time shavees, the event also includes time-honored shavees

— all who return every year to continue their mission to raise funds for childhood cancer research. Cheers rang out as 10-year shavee, Liudas Deveikis, took the stage. He was honored for his ongoing support by receiving the official title of Knight Commander, a ranking given by St. Baldrick’s that recognizes 10 - 14 years of consecutive service. “I love the cause, every year I shave my head in solidarity with kids fighting cancer,” said Deveikis. “My favorite part after getting my head shaved is seeing the kids smile. I want them to know that it’s OK to be bald, and I want to raise money for vital childhood cancer research.” Tempe Chen, M.D., Bickerstaff Pediatric Family Center, Miller Children’s & Women’s, is herself an eight-year cancer survivor and a four-time shavee. Dr. Chen honors her patients and passionately supports childhood cancer research, which is evident in her recognition as a top fundraiser of the event, exceeding her fundraising goal of $15,000. “No effort is too small in the fight against childhood cancer,” said Dr. Chen. “Cancer affects children differently than adults and research is underfunded, which is why initiatives like St. Baldrick’s are so important. Every dollar makes a difference in the lives of infants, children, teens and young adults fighting cancer.” The St. Baldrick’s Foundation supports clinical research at Jonathan Jaques Children’s Cancer Institute through the Children’s Oncology Group by giving Miller Children’s & Women’s a supplemental grant each year.

BY LOREN KOPFF @LORENKOPFF ON TWITTER This is what the Cerritos High baseball team wanted when it was announced that the school was bolting from the Suburban League to form the new 605 League-a chance to compete and win a league championship. It’s been done eight other times at the school, but not since 1996. Now, the program can call themselves league champions as senior pitcher Matthew Pinal pitched a gem, limiting Oxford Academy to three hits and giving up a first-inning run as the Dons edged the Patriots 2-1 this past Tuesday to clinch at least a share of the inaugural 605 league crown. Cerritos improved to 20-7 overall and 8-1 in the circuit while the Patriots dropped to 19-9, 8-1. “It feels great,” said Cerritos first-year head coach Brooks Walling. “The kids deserved everything we did today. Credit to Oxford; they showed up and played their butts off. It feels really good man, it feels really good.” “It feels great,” Pinal said. “But we’re not going to share. But it feels great, especially since it’s been so long, and it’s my first one here.” It would only be fitting that these two teams would be in this position on the last week of the regular season as Oxford Academy entered the contest scoring a league-high 195 runs while giving up 71. Meanwhile, the Dons had scored 183 runs and allowed a league-low 70 runs. And if you came late to the game, you missed all the scoring. With two outs in the top of the first, Anthony Salazar singled to right, advanced on a wild pitch and scored on a single from Jesus Gonzalez, who would be thrown out at second on the play. After that, Pinal allowed four runners to reach base and none of them got to sec-

BY LOREN KOPFF @LORENKOPFF ON TWITTER As the regular season comes to an end, the Gahr High baseball team knew there was little margin of error when it came to securing one of the top three automatic playoff berths from the San Gabriel Valley League. Afterall, the Gladiators, who have yet to reach the .500 mark this season, are on a frantic wave of momentum, hoping to get in the top three and possibly win another league championship. Senior left-handed pitcher Jason Dressel was just what the doctor ordered, pitching six solid innings and yielding half a dozen hits as host Gahr defeated Downey High 8-4 last Thursday to improve to 11-13-1 overall, 6-1 in league play at the time. The Gladiators have won 10 of their last 12 games with a tie mixed into that equation. The winning streak began with a win against St. John Bosco High in the front end of a doubleheader on Mar. 25 and during this late season streak, Gahr has given up 32 runs. In the first 13 games, it had allowed 80 runs. “I think it’s just a direct result of… long story short, [Jason] works harder than anybody else day in and day out and he cares more about the four letters in front than the name on the back,” said Gahr head coach Gerardo Perez. “He doesn’t have a humongous ego. He’s a good team guy. When you start to check off the boxes as far as what he represents, there are a lot of boxes that you check on top of being a very good left-handed pitcher.” “I felt good coming out,” Dressel said. “I had a lot of confidence in game plans with Perez and my [sophomore] catcher Jorge [Renteria]. I knew I was well-prepared coming in. I ran into some trouble, but my biggest thing was keeping my composure and taking deep breaths and

CERRITOS SENIORS COME THROUGH AGAINST OXFORD ACADEMY AS DONS CLINCH SHARE OF LEAGUE TITLE ond. He was ahead in the count 13 times and reached a 0-2 count eight times. Pinal would walk Luke Hogencamp to begin the top of the second inning, the only walk he issued, and would post half a dozen strikeouts. “We had our guy on the mound and he does the same thing he’s done all year,” Walling said. “He’s dominating. Their guy was tricky. He was very deceiving for us. We’ve faced some decent pitching the last two [games] and this guy came in flipping curveballs in and out. He did a good job.” In the bottom of the first inning, and with one out, senior right fielder Matthew Aguinaga singled to left on the first pitch he saw from Gonzalez. Two batters later, sophomore third baseman Nick Hill laced a first-pitch double to the centerfield wall. He would be thrown out at third as he tried to stretch the hit to a triple. In the next inning, senior designated hitter Bernie DeLeon smacked a firstpitch home run over the left field fence, three feet inside the foul pole. The Dons would have an opportunity to add on later in the inning as freshman center fielder Owen Gott singled with one out and advanced to third on a sacrifice from junior first baseman Jayden Baerg and an infield single from junior second baseman Alex Manibusan. But Pinal grounded into a

fielder’s choice to end the threat. Aguinaga, the team’s leading hitter entering the contest, and DeLeon, fifth on the team in hitting, are both four-year varsity players while Pinal transferred from Cantwell Sacred Heart of Mary High following his freshman season. Pinal improved to 8-1 on the season and has gone the distance three times, all in league action. “Aggy and Pinal have been there all year, offensively and defensively,” Walling said. “Bernie gets his first career home run and it couldn’t have come on a better day. It’s awesome.” “Honestly, I thought our offense is a little better,” Pinal said. “We didn’t hit that well, but we’re going to come back on Thursday and put up a lot more.” After the second inning, both pitchers were zoned in as if this was the CIFSouthern Section championship game. Pinal, who threw 77 pitches, retired the final seven batters on 22 pitches and got some defensive help in the top of the fourth inning when Gonzalez grounded into a double play after Salazar had led off with a base hit. Meanwhile, Gonzalez was backed up by Salazar and second baseman Brandon Imai, who combined to make four sliding stops to throw runners out. Gonzalez would retire 12 of the

DRESSEL STAKED TO EARLY LEAD AS GAHR DOUBLES UP DOWNEY TO REMAIN ON LATE-SEASON ROLL [going] one pitch at a time. I felt like I did a good job.” After a scoreless first inning by both teams, the Gladiators went to work against Downey’s Sebastian Diaz in the bottom of the second, loading the bases on the first three batters on a total of nine pitches seen. With one out, senior pinch hitter Joey Lopez singled in a pair of runs. Two pitches later, senior designated hitter Andrew Householder scored on a groundout from junior pinch hitter Daniel Castellanos. Moments later junior first baseman Brian Munoz doubled to left to plate Lopez. “We’ve been doing a pretty good job of kind of substituting people at the right time,” Perez said. “Joey Lopez came through for us with a hit again. We had Castellanos, a call-up which seems to be par for the course this year, come up with another RBI. We had Brian Munoz, who has been consistently getting better, a sophomore with good at-bats. We had [senior] Matt Prudhomme pinch run for Jorge steal a base and then ended up scoring.” The four runs seemed to be all Dressel needed despite giving up three runs in the top of the fourth inning. In fact, in

the top of the second inning, Jesus Liera led off with a double, went to third on the next pitch and was stranded there. After striking out four straight batters, Dressel gave up a pair of infield hits and another solid single to right within the first four batters. The second of those infield hits glanced off his glove, allowing Dominic Gallardo to ruin the shutout bid. Still, the Vikings left two more batters on base. “ I pitched a lot of contact and got outs, but it did kind of start from a play that I could have made” Dressel said. “I think that’s what led to the inning that gave them [chances].” Gahr would add insurance runs in the bottom of the fourth and fifth innings beginning with Diaz walking Lopez to lead off the fourth and being replaced with sophomore pinch runner Demetrius Massey. Freshman centerfielder Ethan Kang then singled to left with Massey going to third and one pitch later, a sacrifice fly from Munoz made it 5-3. Later in the inning, Kang would score on an error. In the bottom of the fifth inning, Renteria, senior left fielder Matt Estrada and Householder all singled to left. Then senior shortstop Edward Morales laid down

final 13 batters after the second inning and needed 54 pitches in six innings of work. After five innings, the game wasn’t even an hour old and it took 70 minutes to complete the contest. “Oxford played the best game they could play,” Walling said. “They outperformed us defensively; I’ll tell you that. We didn’t play good defensively. We weren’t sound; we didn’t put it together, but that tells you the type of club we are. We can battle through [this] and win.” “They made all the plays they were supposed to and then they made a little bit more,” Pinal said. “I’m pretty sure we’ll figure it out on Thursday. I’m pretty confident in our offense, especially once we get it all going.” Since 2000, Cerritos had finished no better than fourth place and since 1998, the program has advanced to the playoffs twice (2016 and 2018). From 2002-2014, no Cerritos team had won more than nine games in any season and from 20092014, the program went 8-64 in Suburban League action. This will be the 13th time in school history that Cerritos has advanced to the playoffs, winning the 4A title in 1989. “It means everything,” Walling said of reaching 20 victories. “It’s something that people around this area has known Cerritos as the armpit. We’ve won 17, 18 games the last four or five years and for us to win our 20th [and] clinch at least a share of the title means everything.” Both teams wrapped up the regular season on Apr. 25 with junior Evan Vazquez expected to toe the slab for the Dons. The playoff brackets will be released Monday morning and Cerritos will be hosting a Division 3 first round game most likely on Thursday.

a bunt to pitcher Omar Serrano, but Estrada barely beat the throw home. Both teams had eight hits apiece with Estrada and Householder each collecting two hits. The recent surge can be attributed to the change in team chemistry, especially between the seniors and the underclassmen. “I think it’s a little bit of everything,” Perez said. “I think it starts with a good group of seniors. You have to be a little unselfish to welcome the help of some of the young guys that have stepped up. Together we’re pretty good; individually we’re not as complete. So, I thought during the Bosco games, I thought their backs were up against the wall. “We always talk about making a stew and kind of simmering,” he later said. “By the end of year, you kind of want that stew to be pretty close. Sometimes you have to take some ingredients out.” “Chemistry,” Dressel said. “I think we’ve come together as a team. We weren’t as bonded as we are right now, and I think it does show a lot in our dugout and in our culture. We play for one another and that’s how we’re winning.” Gahr began this past week tied for first place in the league with Paramount High and a half game ahead of Warren High. The Gladiators would fall to Warren 7-6 this past Monday but rebound two days later with an emphatic 13-1 victory over Bears. Dressel went the distance for the second time this season, scattering five hits. The Gladiators improved to 12-14-1, 7-2 and visited Paramount on Apr. 25 to not only avenge a 7-6 loss to the Pirates on Mar. 19 but clinch another league crown. However, a loss to Paramount would force a four-way tie for first place.

NEWS AND NOTES FROM PRESS ROW

Postseason begins for spring sports as area sees five baseball & softball teams win league titles BY LOREN KOPFF @LORENKOPFF ON TWITTER The regular season for the spring athletics ends today and already, it has been very successful for several area teams. A pair of baseball teams have already locked up league championships while a trio of softball teams can make the same claim. In addition, one area volleyball team is at the top of its division while Cerritos High brought home a 605 League title in boys and girls track and field. Here’s a look at how the area teams did this past spring. The boys volleyball playoff brackets will be released on Saturday while baseball, softball and boys tennis will be released on Monday. Wild card games for baseball and softball will begin on Tuesday with first round contests being held on Thursday. BASEBALL It was another disappointing season for Artesia High, which has been shutout in five straight games and seven times in nine 605 league games. The Pioneers fell to Pioneer High 11-0 this past Tuesday and was 1-20 overall, 0-9 in league entering its Apr. 25 home finale against Pioneer. A loss will mean two straight seasons in which Artesia won just one game in the regular season and the second straight season it has gone winless in league action. For the first time since 1996, Cerritos can call themselves league champions. A 2-1 victory over Oxford Academy this

Continued from page 1 “Ruben did all the work,” said Archuleta, a veteran himself with the 82nd Airborne Division, “it was my honor to help and I was blessed to be able to help bring Guerra home.” Valencia tried everything to bring his brother home, even securing a court order to take the body home. But the Department of Defense, according to Valencia, would have nothing to do with the “local” court order, and did not release Guerra into Valen-

Lady Pioneers, who have now had three straight double-digit win seasons and a winning mark for the second time in three seasons, are ranked sixth in the CIF-Southern Section Division 4 poll. The team will most likely host a first round game. An 18-0 win over Oxford Academy this past Tuesday put Cerritos at 13-12 overall, 9-1 in league as it prepares for the playoffs. The Lady Dons have never been more than two games over .500 all season and at one point, were 2-6. The program has had three straight winning campaigns and eight out of the last nine. For the sixth straight season, Gahr is San Gabriel Valley League champions and for the third time in the last four seasons, it went undefeated in league action. The Lady Gladiators (19-5, 10-0) solidified another perfect league mark after crushing Downey High 14-4 this past Wednesday. The team steamrolled its league opposition, outscoring five other squads by a combined score of 151-13. The playoff drought continues for Glenn, which finished its season at 3-13 overall, 1-9 in league. In the past three seasons, the Lady Eagles have gone 11-47 and have not had a winning record since 2004. V.C. picked up its first Olympic League victory, a 3-0 conquest over Heritage Christian High on Apr. 16. The Lady Defenders, who ended the regular season against Maranatha on Apr. 25, is 7-10 overall, 1-6 in league and will miss the playoffs for the second time in the past three seasons. Before that, the program had been to the playoffs seven straight seasons. Whitney has not played since Apr. 17 but will enter the playoffs with a 13-8 overall mark. The Lady Wildcats finished in third place in the 605 League and will participate in the playoffs for the second time in the past four seasons and fifth time since 2010. This is the program’s best record since 2012 when that team went 15-5 and advanced to the second round. In addi-

tion, the Lady Wildcats are ranked second in Division 7. BOYS VOLLEYBALL The best team in the area by far is Valley Christian, which improved to 23-2 overall and won all eight Olympic League matches. The Defenders, ranked No. 1 in Division 4, have won 13 straight matches, losing just four sets in that time. For the season, the team has lost 12 sets. It’s also the third time in the last four seasons V.C. has won over 20 matches in a season. Cerritos, ranked fifth in Division 3, claimed the 605 League title with Whitney coming in second place. The Dons went 2613 overall and won all 10 league matches while the Wildcats finished 11-14, 8-2. TRACK AND FIELD Cerritos made it a clean sweep at the 605 League championships last Thursday with the boys picking up 152 points while the girls claimed 146 points. The Cerritos boys 400 meter relay team and 1600 meter relay team won with times of 44.58 and 3:34.82 respectively while senior Jaide Lin won the 1600 meter run (5:31.97) and the 800 meter run (2:27.28).Four other Cerritos athletes won their events with sophomore Sofia Vasquez running a 12:22.3 in the 3200 meter run, senior Keona Nguyen topping 9-6 in the pole vault, senior Justin Kim finishing the 200 meter run in 22.62 and senior Seane Baladjay having a mark of 21-7 in the long jump. The Whitney girls finished in third place with 66 points while the Artesia boys finished in third place with 62 points. The Whitney 400-meter relay team won with a time of 50.92 while junior Ola Ogan had a mark of 15-10 in the long jump. For Artesia, senior Travys Davis won the 100-meter dash with a time of 11.22 while sophomore Daniel Chung came in first in the pole vault at 13-0. Also, Artesia junior Manaia Anderson won the shot put when she threw 30-6.

cia’s custody. Frustrated, Valencia contacted Sen. Archuleta who made several phone calls, finally talking to a high ranking officer in Hawaii. The officer informed Archuleta that if he and Valencia could get family members to give their DNA, the Navy could run the DNA through the system, confirm they are related to Guerra, and release the body. The officer also indicated that if all family members refuse to provide DNA, the Navy could release the body to Valencia. So Archuleta and Valencia set out on a mission to find the families who were all local.

Surprisingly, no Guerra family members wanted to give their DNA, Valencia and Archuleta in turn secured the proper DNA denial papers. The next day, Archuleta and Valencia were ecstatic, “we hugged each other and cried,” said Archuleta, “we could not believe we accomplished the final step.” Filled with anticipation and anxiety, the two sent the DNA denials to the officer, anticipating that he would keep his word and release the body. The officer signed off and the remains arrived this past Tuesday April 23, 2019 at Los Angeles International Airport with full military honors. Guerra’s body was met by a Navy Honor Guard with hundreds of people

watching as it was placed in a hearse. The hearse left the tarmac, with the 100-strong veteran motorcycle group the Patriot Riders, following the hearse. “It was all about Ruben Valencia who would not give up,” said Archuleta, “for twelve years Valencia fought every political foe and I thank God he found me and I was able to participate in the last leg of the marathon and make it happen.” As one last tribute, Valencia gave his plot at Rose Hills to his buddy Guerra. A Mass was held at St. Alphonsus Catholic Church, 532 S. Atlantic Blvd., in East Los Angeles with a burial at Rose Hills National Shrine.

past Tuesday assured the Dons of at least a share of the league crown. Cerritos took a 20-7 mark, 9-0 in league, into its Apr. 25 road game at Oxford Academy. It’s the program’s best regular season record in over two decades. On Mar. 19, Gahr High was 1-12 and off to one of its worst starts in school history. But after a 13-1 win against Warren High this past Wednesday, the Gladiators have not only punched their ticket to the playoffs but claimed another San Gabriel Valley League championship. Gahr improved to 12-14-1 overall, 7-2 in league and visited Paramount High on Apr. 25. This is the fifth straight league championship for the program and seventh out of the last eight. But Gahr will enter the playoffs with a non-winning season for the first time since 2008. By virtue of a 10-0 win at Whitney High this past Tuesday, John Glenn High clinched third place in the 605 League and the program’s third straight playoff appearance and fourth in the last five seasons. The Eagles improved to 12-10 overall, 5-4 in the circuit and has won five straight games. It’s also the first time the Eagles have been two games above .500 all season. Valley Christian High was no-hit by Maranatha High 12-0 this past Tuesday to fall to 12-9 overall, 4-7 in the Olympic League. Although the Defenders will finish in fourth place, they will be eligible for an at-large position should one be available in Division 5. The playoff drought for Whitney extends to 31 seasons as the Wildcats are riding a five-game losing streak, the last thee without scoring a run. The Wildcats fell to 7-9 overall, 2-7 in league as it visited Glenn on Apr. 25.

Tour the birthplace of Imaginarium and Disney Studios from page 1

the most fascinating bus tours any Disney lover could take. HMG-LCCN was invited to ride along on this excursion Easter Sunday. This is not your typical tourist bus tour. The tour begins at 9:30 am, where guests gather at the Los Angeles Zoo to check in, receive a tour wristband, meet

Gurr, check out the various items he has available for purchase and get an in person autograph. First of all, the tour bus is exceptional. It is clean, comfortable, has an available restroom, and the seats even have seatbelts for safety. After the tour creator Ernie Alonzo introduced himself and tells

THE BENCH where it is said Disney dreamed up his theme parks has been preserved at the Griffith Park Merry-go-Round.

CREATION: Home on Lyric Avenue, where Walt created his first Mickey Mouse cartoon, ‘Plane Crazy’.

guests what to expect for the day, a brief video is played talking about the vision Disney had. Finally Gurr, who is an animated and chatty 87 years young, takes the microphone and introduces himself as the man behind Disney, who made it all happen. As the bus drives through the Los Feliz streets, Gurr talks about the history of Los Angeles and why the Disney brothers decided to bring their talents to California. At the corner of St. George Street and Lyric Avenue, you depart the bus and walk to the first homes that Walt and his brother Roy purchased. The homes have been kept in original condition, “the first time we stopped here, the new owner called the cops on us,” laughs Gurr, “we introduced ourselves and the tour company, now if we are lucky and the owner is home, he will come out and answer questions about the house.” The tour continues to the famous John Marshall High School and the original location of Hyperion Studios. Disney decided he needed a standalone studio so him and his brother placed a $400 down payment on a plot of land between Griffith Park Boulevard and Monon Street on Hyperion Avenue. Their neighbors were a gas station and an organ factory. In 1926, the brothers filed a permit for

a three-room artist studio and this was the beginning of Walt Disney Studios. Along the way the tour takes visitors the Griffith Park Merry-Go-Round where it is said Disney came up with the idea of his theme parks and then onto Carolwood Barn. In 1950, Disney built the Carolwood Pacific Railroad in the backyard of his house in Holmby Hills. The 2,615 feet of track included a 46 foot-long trestle and a 90 foot long tunnel under his wife's flower bed. Amidst the railroad, he had a barn built where he could monitor and remotely control the switches on the track. The barn also served as a workshop and a place for Disney where he spent many hours working on his trains, while thinking about new projects and ideas. At the barn the group was fortunate enough to meet Margaret Kerry who, in 1953, became the model for that cantankerous fairy Tinkerbelle, “One could say that this Barn is the birthplace of Imagineering,” said Gurr. The tour takes you to lunch at the Autry Museum, the Imaginarium Campus, and Disney Studios. If you are a Disney fan this tour is a must. The tours are held monthly and book fast.

These five cases are the first cases of measles confirmed by Public Health among Los Angeles County residents and the first cases of transmission within LA County in 2019. These are unrelated to the four non-resident cases that traveled through Los Angeles County earlier this year. The majority of the cases were unvaccinated. “We will likely see additional measles cases in Los Angeles County, so it is important if you or someone you know has the symptoms of measles or has been exposed to measles to contact your healthcare provider by phone right away before seeking treatment,” said Muntu Davis, MD, MPH, Los Angeles County Health Officer. “The best way to protect yourself and to prevent the spread of measles is to get the measles immunization, with two doses of measles immunization being about 97% effective at preventing measles.” Public Health recommends the following: All children should receive two doses of measles immunization. The first should be administered between the ages of 12 to 15 months, and the second between the ages of 4 and 6 years. Written confirmation from the administering doc-

tor or other clinician should be kept. The immunization can be given from ages 6-11 months, if there is concern about direct exposure to measles or if travel to places with current measles outbreaks is anticipated. All other persons should locate written verification they have received 2 doses of measles immunization in their life. The second dose recommendation was not made until 1989, so many adults have received only 1 dose. Those who are unable to locate written verification of 2 doses of measles immunization should receive 1 dose right away and a second dose in 4 weeks. When Public Health identifies contacts of a person confirmed to have measles during an investigation and that contact does not have written verification of 2 measles immunization doses, they will be subject to quarantine of up to 21 days from date of exposure. This will be enforced by a Health Officer Order for quarantine. A blood test may be done to check for immunity and possible removal of the order for quarantine. Public Health is disclosing information below on locations where measles exposure may have occurred. This disclosure is necessary to reach individuals

who may have been exposed because they were present at these locations during the dates and times noted below. In situations where all persons who have been exposed can be identified, Public Health works with organizations, case contacts, and family members to directly notify everyone involved. The following locations have been currently identified as potential measles exposures: Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), Tom Bradley International Terminal, arrived at Gate 218 on April 1 from 6:30 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA), Franz Hall on April 2, 4, and 9 and Boelter Hall on April 2 and 9 from 10:00 a.m. to 6 :00 p.m. California State University, Los Angeles, Main Library, on April 11 from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. El Pollo Loco Restaurant, 1939 Verdugo Blvd, La Cañada Flintridge, on April 11 from 2:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. El Sauz Tacos, 4432 San Fernando Rd, Glendale, on April 13 from 1:30 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. There is no known current risk related to measles that exists at any of these venues at this time.

CAROLWOOD BARN, home of the Carolwood Pacific Railroad in Walt’s back yard. The barn also served as a workshop where Disney worked on his trains.

MEASLES

Continued from page 1 The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health (Public Health) initiated and investigation this week into a number of reports of measles in Los Angeles County residents. The investigation includes a a local outbreak of four confirmed measles cases linked to one another after international travel and an additional single case of measles after international travel. Public Health urges residents who have not been fully immunized against measles with two doses of the measles immunization, to contact their healthcare provider to get fully immunized in order to better protect their individual health and to prevent the spread of measles to others. Infected people can infect those around them before they have symptoms and know they are infected. The measles virus can be transmitted from one person to another up to 4 days before the onset of rash. About 90% of people who have never been immunized against measles become ill 7-21 days after exposure.
