BROGUIERE’S DAIRY CLOSING ANNOUNCEMENT GENERATES MASSIVE OUTCRY

BY TAMMYE MCDUFF Broguiere’s Farm Fresh Dairy, best known as the home of the ‘glass bottled’ milk made the announcement last week that they would be closing down their operation.

In an unsanctioned media post from Gelson’s Market, it was announced that they would no longer be carrying the popular product. In an HMG-LCCN exclusive chat with 73 year old Ray Broguiere, Jr. and third generation owner, he confessed to being a bit overwhelmed, “We had some plans to maybe roll production back a bit,” he said,” but when the news broke, all heck broke loose!” Broguiere said he had it all planned: a formal announcement, slowing down production and delivery, to final distribution.

“I’m not a Facebook person,” said Broguiere, “when the announcement was posted on social media everything just exploded.” He said the response from fans has been unbelievable, ”Channel 9 was out here last night, filming in the dark!”

The real story, as Broguiere stated, is that he is 73 and tired, “I have been com-

Broguiere also stated that in all honesty, the cost of doing business in California

MEMORIAL DAY EVENTS HELD IN AREA CITIES THE SWALLOWS

HAVE RETURNED...

TO CERRITOS

BY TAMMYE MCDUFF

VETERANS and family members carry the flags of all United States Armed Forces at Olive Lawn Memorial Park this past Monday, the event was hosted by Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) Post #9148.

If you live in California, then you have heard about the Swallows annual return to San Juan Capistrano. The miracle of the “Swallows” takes place each year at Mission San Juan Capistrano, in March on St. Joseph’s Day. Swallows migrate 6,000 miles from Goya, Argentina to San Juan Capistrano in large groups. The town welcomes visitors from all parts of the world to witness the return of the swallows, a tradition that has been celebrated since the early 1930s.

But these little mud nesters don’t just build in the San Juan Capistrano area, they actually return to the nest where they were born all over Southern California, and Cerritos is one of those cities.

The nest is very specific and easy to spot.

From AllAboutBirds.org: “One easy way to find Cliff Swal-

lows is to look for their gourdshaped mud nests clustered under horizontal overhangs—many a highway overpass is swarming with Cliff Swallows in summer.

To find these birds while they’re out foraging, head to a lake, river, or wetland and seek out foraging flocks of swallows. Scan the

swallows carefully, focusing on finding a square-tailed bird with a pale, pumpkin-colored rump and dark upperparts. Scan the upper levels of a foraging flock, as Cliff Swallows often forage higher than other species.”

HOUSING BILL SB 50 TABLED IN COMMITTEE

BY TAMMYE MCDUFF In an email sent out to real estate brokers this past weekend it was announced that Senate Bill 50, the high-profile bill that moved through California Legislature aimed at addressing the state’s housing crisis, has effectively been killed for the rest of the year.

Proposed by State Senator Wiener of San Francisco, SB 50 would have rewritten zoning laws and forced local governments to allow taller apartment buildings and multi-family complex near transit areas and job centers.

To read the bill in its entirety, visit leginfo.legislature.ca.gov . If you would like to express your thoughts on SB 50 to your state senator or assembly member, you can find their contact information by going to findyourrep.legislature.ca.gov .

The the Lakewood City Council was strongly opposed to SB 50 which would allow four-unit apartments on any singlefamily residential property in communities throughout California. “Imagine that a four-unit (or bigger) apartment building pops up next to your single-family home,� said Mayor Todd Rogers. “and there’s not nearly enough parking on site for everyone who lives there.�

Within a quarter-mile of busy bus stops, there would be no limit to the number of apartment units that could be built

RESIDENTS object to SB 50, which would have allowed four-story apartment units on any property within a 1/4 mile from a transportation hub. Photo courtesy Mother Jones.

Governor Gavin Newsom, who urged the Legislature to deliver a bill that tackles the state’s housing shortage, released a statement saying he was “disappointed by the committee’s decision.�

The legislation touched a nerve for local government officials who said that the bill would override their local zoning restrictions and housing plans. It also worried some housing advocates, who feared that any new construction in urban centers would displace longtime residents.

State Sen. Anthony Portantino, La CaĂąada Flintridge, announced in a Thursday budget hearing he would make Wiener’s proposal a “2-year bill.â€?

While SB 50 could still get amended, it won’t be considered again until January 2020, the start of the next new legislative session. SB 50 backers argued the bill would create more housing desperately needed in California and would reduce commuting times for workers who could now live along transportation and employment corridors.

The bill passed two Senate committee hearings this year on bipartisan vote before the Senate Appropriations Committee tabled it.

on a single-family lot. The proposed state law would prohibit cities from requiring more than one-half space of onsite parking per apartment unit. A four-unit building that might have two drivers in each unit would normally need eight or more onsite parking spaces, but the proposed state law would tell cities they could only require two onsite parking spaces.

Lakewood strongly objected to the legislation which was seen as a blatant attempt to undermine local authority and control, forcing unfunded state mandated program upon California cities.

The bill also allowed housing developers and transit agencies to have the power to determine housing densities, heights, parking requirements and design standards. “The City of Lakewood is happy to support the construction of more apartment buildings and condos in our city,� said Rogers "Sacramento wants to subscribe to the one-size-fits-all solution that takes away a city’s local planning oversight on projects.

It’s an attack on single-family residential communities like Lakewood.�

When the United States and the Trump administration first indicted Julian Assange, it was for computer hacking.

Now his corrupt Attorney General Bill Barr has handed down additional indictments, this time the administration wants to prosecute Assange, who is the "Publisher" of Wikileaks, Trump’s favorite news outlet during his campaign, under the Espionage Act. Don't get this wrong, Assange is not a publisher, he would obtain materials illegally, similar to how he obtained infor-

mation from Chelsey Manning, and then publish the documents, that is a crime.

But with this move, Trump and Barr want to eviscerate the First Amendment.

As it stands, newspaper and online publishers and reporters cannot be prosecuted for accepting highly sensitive classified information, stealing information, like Assange took from Manning, is a crime.

The person who works for the government who gave the reporter the information can be prosecuted under the Espionage Act. Clinton prosecuted, Bush prosecuted, and Obama prosecuted, in record numbers, government employees who leaked information.

But what Trump and Barr is doing will send a chill through every investigative reporter working in the U.S. If it was not for leaked classified information, the New York Times would have never published the Pentagon Papers, a classified history of US involvement in

MAY 31, 2019

Vietnam, we would not have known the many things Bush perpetrated, or even or the Obama drone program.

But the most chilling aspect of this attempt is the power that it will give Trump to jail reporters he does not like, the definition of political retaliation.

What's to stop somebody in the Trump administration from purposely leaking sensitive material to a reporter, that reporter writing an article, and then getting thrown in jail?

Where will the motivation be to accept sensitive information?

Thank goodness Julian Assange is sitting in the UK and that he has to be extradited.

Current British officials seem reluctant, even before this attempt by the Trump administration, to extradite Assange.

Let's hope British officials do not extradite Assange to the United States, at least until after Trump is impeached.

ELECTED OFFICIAL'S BRAWL AT CONTRACT CITIES COMMERCE COUNCILMAN HUGO ARGUMEDO REFUTES IVAN ALTAMIRANO AND JOHN SORIA’S STORY, WILL PRESS CHARGES

BY BRIAN HEWS Hews Media Group-Community News has exclusively obtained a recording of an interview between a Riverside Sheriff’s investigator and Commerce Councilman Hugo Argumedo wherein Argumedo, while filing a report, completely refutes Commerce Mayor John Soria and Councilman Ivan Altamirano’s statements about the brawl that broke out last week at the Contract Cities Convention in Palm Desert.

HMG-LCCN first reported about the May 18 fight that involved Commerce Councilman Ivan Altamirano striking fellow Councilman Leonard Mendoza from behind knocking him to the ground unconscious; it was after that the larger meleé ensued.

Witnesses told HMG-LCCN that Soria ran up from behind and struck Argumedo, then stated that Mario Beltran and his friend Louis Reyes, who owns Blue Icon Media, joined the fight sucker punching and kicking Argumedo and others who were trying to break up the fight.

Reyes sent a retraction letter to HMGLCCN after the fight, when asked if he would go on the record (three times) that he did not hit Argumedo, Reyes did not respond.

Only hours after the fight, Soria and Altamirano issued statements that refuted witnesses’ accounts.

Argumedo told the investigator he wanted press charges against Soria and Al-

tamirano, and, if any of the many witnesses come forward, press charges against Beltran and Reyes for assaulting a defenseless person, which is a much harsher penalty than simple assault.

Argumedo’s description of what occurred at the bar/cigar smoking area at the Renaissance Hotel and Spa matches the descriptions given to HMG-LCCN by other witnesses the morning after the brawl.

The fight begins Argumedo, Hector Chacon, and others were sitting in an area having a casual conversation when Argumedo stated that Altamirano approached the group and asked, “if he could borrow Hector for a few minutes.”

“They [Altamirano and Mendoza] were already having a discussion and it looked like they were bringing Hector over to mediate, ”said Argumedo.

Chacon walked over with Altamirano to where Mendoza was, it was then Argumedo said, “you could already hear the conversation was getting heated, and I was about 30 yards away so everyone in the area could hear them too.”

“A few moments later I heard a thump [Mendoza hitting the ground] then you could hear the response of the crowd like wow….oh my God…, there was a lot of gasping.”

“I turned and saw Mendoza on the ground, I got up and went over to him.

Ivan [Altamirano] was standing over him and was gesturing."

Argumedo said he approached Mendoza to check on him, he could see his eyes looking up, “he was motionless, it was weird, I asked him if he was ok, but there was no response, I thought he was dying.”

Leonard Mendozaon the ground after being struck.

Argumedo then saw Altamirano moving toward him at which time he stood up and attempted to defuse the situation.

“I never touched him but I told him no more, that is when Ivan threw a punch at me, he hit me in the eye, I turned and hit him twice with my left hand.”It was at that point that Argumedo told the investigator that Commerce Mayor Soria jumped in the fight.

That was in direct conflict with Soria's public statement where he said he "tried to defuse the situation, pulling Altimirano away to a safe distance" and how "he and Altamirano were attacked from behind by two individuals."

Argumedo continued, “out of nowhere the Mayor [Soria] comes and strikes me, I moved back and hit him three times, two lefts and a right to the head.”

“Next thing I know there were two other individuals that struck me from behind and I blacked out, I then remember looking up.”

Argumedo said that many witnesses later told him that disgraced former Bell Gardens Councilman Mario Beltran and his cannabis partner Luis Reyes were the

NORWALK SHERIFF'S ARREST TWO FOR FURNISHING ALCOHOL TO MINORS STAFF REPORT The City of Norwalk, in conjunction with Norwalk Sheriff Station, has arrested two suspects for furnishing alcoholic beverages to minors. The actions were a result of a shoulder tap operation conducted on May 14.

In addition, the City and Sheriff Station conducted a minor decoy operation on May 7, 2019. Minors, under the direct supervision of officers, attempted to purchase alcohol from six retail licensees.

While the decoy operation did not result in any violations, those who sell to minors face a minimum fine of $250, and/or 24 to 32 hours of community service for a first violation. In addition, ABC will take administrative action against the alcoholic beverage license of the business. That may include a fine, a suspension of the license, or the permanent revocation of the license.

The City of Norwalk is conducting the compliance checks to reduce the availability of alcohol to minors.

Statistics have shown that young people under the age of 21 have a higher rate of drunken driving fatalities than the general adult population.

Minor Decoy operations have been conducted by local law enforcement throughout the state since the 1980’s.

When the program first began, the violation rate of retail establishments selling to minors was as high as 40 to 50 percent. When conducted on a routine basis, the rate has dropped in some cities as low as 10 percent or even below.

In 1994, the California Supreme Court ruled unanimously that use of underage decoys is a valid tool of law enforcement to ensure that licensees are complying with the law.

The Minor Decoy Shoulder Tap Operation targets adults who purchase alcohol for people less than 21 years of age. Under the program, a minor under the direct supervision of a peace officer will stand outside a liquor or convenience store and ask patrons to buy them alcohol. The minor indicates in some way he or she is underage and cannot purchase the alcohol.

If the adults agree to purchase alcohol for the minor, officers then arrest and cite them for furnishing alcohol to the minor. The penalty for furnishing alcohol to a minor is a minimum $1000 fine and 24 hours of community service.

The program is intended to reduce the availability of alcohol to minors.

Statistics show they generally have a higher rate of drunken driving crashes than adults. Studies also show the combination of alcohol and youth tends to increase criminal conduct. According to the American Medical Association, underage drinking can increase chances of risky sexual behavior and teen pregnancy, juvenile delinquency, compromise health, and result in unintentional injury and death.

This project is part of the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control’s Minor Decoy / Shoulder Tap Grant Project, funded by the California Office of Traffic Safety through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

Continued from page 1 tells me I have to cover everything in a certain way and move all production indoors. Well that would mean new buildings, lots of time, maybe not even keep the glass bottles. But that’s not all; there is the plastic bag law and the minimum wage increase.”

Broguiere says he pays all of his workers a fair price for a fair days work, “some employees, they work different jobs and they should be paid accordingly.”

The dairy farm was established in 1920, and has stayed the course. The drive-through dairy also sold its products in markets across California and received a boost of notoriety by Huell Howser some years ago.

Ernest Broguiere, Ray Jr.’s. grandfather, immigrated from the French Alps.

Ernest and his stock of 150 cows on five acres was the success over the original lemon grove that resulted in failure. He and his wife Marie were relative latecomers to California. When Ernest's son, Ray, Sr. took over the business in 1965, he had to cut costs by getting rid of the milking cows and switch over to being a milk producer, thus the name Montebello Sanitary Dairy. He made a key decision to retain the rare use of glass milk containers, for which todays customers drive from miles away to purchase.

In a later phone interview, Broguiere said since the unexpected announcement, he and his son have been making calls to suppliers to see if there’s any way to keep the operation afloat. After due consideration and an outpouring from fans of the best glass bottle chocolate milk around the owner said there might be good chance the century year old dairy could stay open.

HAHN

Continued from page 1 4th District on the Board of Supervisors, Hahn has dedicated her career to a ‘people first’ agenda.

“It’s no secret that I love this job as County Supervisor and I want to achieve more for you,” began Hahn, “I am a little surprised that four years have flown by so fast. The one thing I learned from Kenny Hahn is never take anything for granted.

You run like you’re always behind, you earn every single vote and you don’t wait to show what you will do for the people, you show them every single day.”

Hahn told a story about her father who will go down as the longest sitting Supervisor with ten, four-year terms. The record will never be broken because now there are term limits. “When election results came in, he would get the precinct map of the entire section, lay it out on the dining room table and go precinct by precinct to look at how many votes he received, “I’ll never forget, there was one precinct in Hawthorn where he literally received 91% of the vote,” she recalled, “he turned to his cam-

SWALLOWS

Continued from page 1 low has been considered a very welcome bird. It was a symbol of the spring awakening and revival of life. It is still seen as a spring messenger heralding the end of winter. If Swallows nested in farm buildings, it meant well-being and good fortune for the owners. People believed that the presence of these birds protected farm animals from disease. This is mostly in part due to the fact that this bird dines on insects, keep-

Hahn goes on to recount that her father always wanted to do right by the people, saying he wanted to know what he did right and what he did wrong.

“When I look out over this room and

the find people who have chosen to serve the public, I consider it a huge honor to work with you. People are no longer turning to Washington to solve their problems, they are turning to us. The best thing I can do for you as your Supervisor is to support you and your cities.”

ing mosquitoes and such away from barn animals.

Over the years, people observed these birds and explained their behavior in different ways. Weather was predicted based on their flight: if Swallows flew low it meant a rain, but if high, beautiful weather was expected. Because bird migration was not well understood in the past, the disappearance of Swallows became a legend. As the story goes, before they depart, Swallows would gather in groups of hundreds and stay together for the night in reeds on lake shores. They disappear unnoticed which made people believe the bird spent the win-

ter under the ice at the bottom of lakes.

A great place to catch a glimpse of a Swallow or its nest is at Rancho Los Cerritos. The museum hosts a bird walk the second Thursday of each month. Stroll through the grounds of the historic rancho and watch both resident birds and seasonal migrants. Participants will also listen to the calls and songs, and potentially observe nesting as the season’s progress. However you do not need to wait until Thursday, the Rancho is open Wednesday to Sunday.

You can find out more information on their website at www.rancholoscerritos.org.

Shows at the Gaslamp Long Beach

BY ANDY NAGLE

Beatles vs. Stones Kenny Cetera's Chicago For decades, the battle has raged: Beatles or Stones?

Experience Through their heyday, fans accused

London’s Rolling Stones of stealing ideas -- even entire albums – from their Liverpool counterparts.

At the same time, the Beatles secretly envied the Stones’ “bad boy” image and attitude, often copying their style.

Both bands are unmistakably great, scoring an array of hits that changed musical history, but only one can be the best.

The most infamous rivalry in rock and roll never played out in a public arena until now as Beatles vs. Stones – A Musical Showdowncomes to the Gaslamp Restaurant on Saturday, June 15 at 8:00 pm. The show is appropriate for all ages.

Taking the side of the Fab Four is Abbey Road, one of the county's top Beatles tribute bands. With brilliant musicianship and authentic costumes and gear, Abbey Road plays beloved songs spanning the Beatles' career.

They face off against renowned Stones tribute band Hollywood Stones, who offer a faithful rendition of the music and style of Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and the bad boys of the British Invasion.

Kenny Cetera’s Chicago Experience comes to the Gaslamp Long Beach on Saturday, June 22 at 8:00 pm.

America’s premiere tribute to the music of Chicago, the best-selling band of the 1970s led by Kenny Cetera, the younger brother of Chicago lead singer, Peter Cetera.

A contributing vocalist on the album “Chicago 17,” which is still the band's #1 all-time grossing record, Kenny has an undying passion for songs such as “You’re The Inspiration,” “Stay The Night,” “Along Comes a Woman,” and the earlier hits that made Chicago famous around the world.

Kenny Cetera and his band flawlessly perform Chicago’s greatest hits, presenting material from band’s most relevant and creative years of original music, '68 through '85.

Kenny, with that distinctive Cetera voice, has surrounded himself with seven world-class musicians who share their appreciation for this music bringing an infectious excitement to an allages friendly show that you won't want to end.

The Gaslamp Restaurant is located at 6251 Pacific Coast Highway in Long Beach, CA., 90803.

The show is appropriate for all ages and there is ample free parking available.

ABOVE: The Beatles tribute band will battle the Stones tribute band in the greatest concert that never was.

TRIO OF FORMER GAHR SOFTBALL STANDOUTS TO PLAY IN NCAA WOMEN’S COLLEGE WORLD SERIES

BY LOREN KOPFF @LORENKOPFF ON TWITTER They had success throughout their entire softball careers at Gahr High and now, three players will vie for a championship as the 2019 Women’s College World Series got underway on May 30 at USA Softball Hall of Fame StadiumOGE Field in Oklahoma City. Sophomore infielder Malia Quarles (University of California, Los Angeles), freshman pitcher Vanessa Foreman (University of Arizona) and freshman outfielder Madison Huskey (University of Washington) were all stars at Gahr, and will now help their respective teams win as few as five more games before getting an chance to hoist a championship trophy.

Huskey had the most success of the three this past season as she batted .276 for the Huskies in 44 games with 27 hits, 22 runs scored 17 runs batted in.

She belted five home runs, second most for Washington and her average and hits were eighth most on the team. In addition, Huskey was one of five players not to have an error. She was the Pac-12 Conference Freshman of the Week for Apr. 15 and she was named to the AllRegional Team at the conclusion of the regular season.

Huskey posted a career-high two hits six different times and scored a careerhigh two runs three times. She also drove in a career-high three runs vs. UCLA on Mar. 17 and again vs. Stanford University on May 9. In three Seattle Regional games, Huskey went four of eight with three runs and a double but went hitless in the Super Regionals vs. University of Kentucky.

Huskey was a first team member of the HMG-Community News All-Area Teams in 2015 and 2016 as a right fielder, 2017 as a catcher and last season as a centerfielder. She was also the HMG-CN Player of the Year in 2017.

Quarles started four of 36 games in 2019 and batted .333, which was the sec-

ond highest among non-regular starters.

Of her 11 hits, three left the yard and she also had 16 RBI. She had a career-high four RBI against the University of Oregon on Apr. 14. Quarles went hitless in two at-bats in the Los Angeles Regionals and hitless in oneat bat in the Super Regionals against James Madison University. In 25 games as a freshman, Quarles batted .192, had five hits with two of them doubles and drove in eight runs. She has not recorded a putout on defense thus far in her collegiate career.

Quarles was a first team member of the HNG-CN All-Area Teams from 20152017 as a third baseman.

Foreman appeared in four games for the Wildcats, pitching just over nine innings, allowing 10 hits and striking out half a dozen. She got the win against the University of Texas, EL Paso on Apr. 3, going four innings, giving up six hits, one run and striking out a pair. Foreman was a second team member of the HMG-CN All-Area Teams last season.

Huskey and Foreman faced each other in the first game of the WCWS on May 30 and the loser will have to win twice on Saturday and twice on Sunday to advance to the best two out three Championship Finals, which begins on Monday.

Quarles and her team faced the University of Minnesota following the Arizona/ Washington game. The Bruins are seeded second in the WCWS. Four other area players helped their respective teams advance to the regionals two weekends ago. Former Valley Christian High senior infielder Emily Morrow wrapped up her career at Boston University and leaves as a career .285 hitter with

173 hits and 73 RBI in 217 games. This past season, she had a career-high four hits against the University of Connecticut on Feb. 15. As a sophomore, Morrow was the eighth toughest to strikeout amongst all NCAA players.

Last season, Morrow was a member of the All-Patriot League’s AllConference Second Team and was the 11thtoughest to strikeout.

Morrow, who played shortstop in high school, was a first team member of the HMG-CN All-Area Teams in 2013, second team in 2012, third team in 2014 and honorable mention in 2015.

Bethune-Cookman University junior pitcher Destiny Enriquez (John Glenn High) lost both games of the Tallahassee Regional, never getting out of the first inning in both games. This past season, Enriquez went 9-6 with an ERA of 3.09 in 36 games. She started 13 games, went the distance five times and had two saves.

Enriquez has a career mark of 18-26.

Enriquez was a second team member of the HMG-CN All-Area Teams in 2015 and 2016 and a third team member in 2013.

Former Gahr standout Alyssa Kumiyama followed up her stellar freshman season with another great sophomore campaign for the University of South Carolina. Kumiyama, who is an infielder and designated player went hitless in six at-bats over two games against the University of South Florida in the Tallahassee Regional where the Gamecocks would go 2-2. But Kumiyama went three for three and drove in three runs and had a homerun against Bethune-Cookman

University. One of those hits was off Enriquez. Kumiyama also drove in a run against Florida State University in a 7-6 loss.

In the regular season, Kumiyama batted .333 as she went 25 for 75 and drove in 30 runs. Her nine home runs in the regular season was tied for second and she was named to the All-Southeast Regional Third Team. She currently is tied for seventh in South Carolina history with 20 career home runs and needs 14 more in her final two seasons to become the school’s all-time leader. Her 10 home runs last season ranks tied for sixth in a single season.

Kumiyama was a first team member of the HMG-CN All-Area Teams as a catcher and Player of the Year in from 2014-2016 and was an Honorable Mention member in 2017.

Last season’s top pitcher for Gahr, Dani Martinez, made the most of her freshman season at California State University, Fullerton, picking up the Big West Conference’s Freshman Pitcher of the Year award, the third in CSUF history. Martinez was the ace of the pitching staff, leading the Titans in almost every category. She helped the Titans go 38-18 overall, 18-3 in the Big West Conference.

Martinez went 17-8 and had two saves in 37 games, starting 23 of them and going the distance eight times. She had a 2.24 ERA in almost 160 innings with 146 strikeouts and 47 walks. Martinez was third in the Big West in strikeouts and fourth in ERA and victories. In conference play, Martinez went 9-2 with a 1.12 ERA. She started the second game of the season against the University of Buffalo on Feb. 8 pitching into the fifth inning, allowing one hit and striking out eight, but also walked eight. Martinez lost both games of the Los Angeles Regional.

Martinez was a first team member of the HMG-CN All-Area Teams from 2016-2018.

Argumedo’s said his face and hand was injured after the fight, and that his girlfriend took pictures which they sent to the investigator via email. Argumedo also said his ribs were very sore after the brawl.

After the fight, Altamirano and Soria issued statements and were posting on social media trying to turn the whole story around.“That’s when I had to come forward,� said Argumedo.

The investigator then asked Argumedo if he was going to file charges, Argumedo indicated he would.

Assault charges will be filed against Soria and Altamirano, but Beltran and Reyes could be charged with striking a defenseless person, which carries a much harsher penalty. “This is perfect information, it has helped out a lot,� the investigator said, “we did not get really good information, we have some piecing together but it has been hard...... no one is talking.�

HELP PREVENT CITRUS TREE DISEASE A plant disease that kills citrus trees has been found in California. The disease, called “Huanglongbing” (HLB) or “citrus greening disease,” isn’t harmful to humans, but it is fatal for citrus trees.

There is no cure for the disease, which is spread by a pest called the Asian citrus psyllid. A tiny insect no bigger than a grain of rice, the Asian citrus psyllid feeds on citrus leaves and stems and can infest citrus trees with a deadly bacterium. Once a tree is infected with HLB, it will die. Diseased trees need to be removed in order to

Los Cerritos Community News - LosCerritosNews.net

protect other citrus trees on the property, neighbors’ trees and the community’s citrus.

In addition to proper watering, fertilizing and pruning, take the following steps to prevent problems: • Do not move citrus plants, foliage or fruit into or out of your area or across state and international borders. This could contribute to the spread of the disease.

• Buy citrus trees from licensed, reputable nurseries.

• When grafting citrus trees, only use registered budwood that comes with source documentation.

• Cooperate with agriculture crews.

• Apply products that protect your tree.

• Dry or double bag plant clippings.

CHRISTENSEN SHOPPING CENTER TO BE UPGRADED The Cerritos City Council recently approved proposed exterior upgrades for the Christensen Shopping Center.

Developed in 1970, the plaza, located at 11402 through 11434 South Street in Cerritos, is currently home to the Sleep Number store, Belle Vie Wellness and Medical Aesthetics, several restaurants, a liquor store and other businesses.

The property owner, the Christensen Family Trust, plans to update and modernize the building’s exterior with a contem-

porary look featuring brown paint, wood siding, brick veneer, simulated stone tiles and updated stucco finishes. There are also plans to upgrade existing signs located throughout the center to match the architectural design. Colorful accent trees, groundcover and shrubs will be added to the landscape as well as decorative paving.

The work is estimated to be completed by the end of the year.

Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority.

A HEARING on the petition will be held on June 21, 2019 at 8:30 AM in Dept. No. 11 located at 111 N. Hill St., Los Angeles, CA 90012.

IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney.

IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING PLOT (SITE) PLAN NO. 992 AND CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 533 6210 Garfield Avenue

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Planning Commission of the City of Commerce will conduct a public hearing to consider a Plot (Site) Plan and Conditional Use Permit approval to allow the construct of a self storage facility with two storage buildings totaling 213,640 square feet of floor area within a 5.39-acre (234,690 square feet) site located at 6210 Garfield Avenue. A total of 18 standard parking spaces will be provided and 33 recreational vehicles (R.V.) parking spaces will be striped at the rear of the property. Access to the site will be provided by an existing driveway located along the project site’s western property line.

As part of its decision, the Planning Commission will consider the adoption of a mitigated negative declaration that was prepared in conjunction with this project. An Initial Study was prepared for the project and concluded that there will be less than significant impacts on the environment with the incorporation of mitigation measures; a Mitigated Negative Declaration has therefore been prepared. Possible impacts from Cultural Resources and Hazards and Hazardous Materials have been identified. The Planning Commission will consider comments on the proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration.

Said hearing will be held before the Planning Commission of the City of Commerce in the Council Chambers, 5655 Jillson Street, Commerce, CA, on Wednesday, June 26, 2019 at 6:30 p.m., at which time proponents and opponents of the proposed Plot (Site) Plan and Conditional Use Permit will be heard.

Per Government Code Section 65009, if you challenge this matter in court, you may be limited to raising only those issues you or someone else raised at the public hearing described in this notice, or in written correspondence delivered to the Planning Commission at, or prior to, the public hearing.

Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law.

YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this proper-ty lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the prop-erty itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automati-cally 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 con-tacting 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, bene-ficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale post-ponements 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 appli-cable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (714) 730-2727 or visit this Internet Web site www.servicelinkASAP.com, using the file number assigned to this case 2019-00796. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not im-mediately be reflected in the tele-phone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.

CERRITOS WATER QUALITY REPORT AVAILABLE The City’s Annual Consumer Confidence (Water Quality) Report is available on the City’s website at cerritos.us/_pdfs/ ccr2018.pdf. The report indicates that Cerritos water complies with, and in many cases exceeds, all state and federal water quality standards.

State and federal laws require printed or electronic distribution of the waterquality information to everyone served by the City’s water utility. The report de-

scribes the City’s stringent water tests, which are conducted more frequently than required by the State Health Department.

The Consumer Confidence Report provides detailed test results and explains the City’s water supply, which flows to customers through a system of wells, reservoirs, mains and pipes.

Landlords, employers and school administrators are encouraged to share the water quality report with their tenants, employees and students. Copies of the report are available at the water billing counter on City Hall’s second floor. For more information, call the Water Division at (562) 916-1223.
