ABC SELECTS FIRMS TO BEGIN INFRASTRUCTURE REBUILDING PROCESS

LA MIRADA EBELL & GROCERY OUTLET HELP THE NEEDY AUTOMATION ROBOTS INVADE 440,000 SQ. FT. BUILDING IN LA PALMA

BY BRIAN HEWS

At its regular July 16th board meeting, the ABC Unified School District Board of Education took another crucial step in improving the aging District school facilities, which have not been upgraded since the 1990’s. Last November, voters approved Measure BB, a $258 million bond to improve and enhance schools in the ABC Unified School District. Projects funded by the bonds are subject to Board of Education approval and supervision by the Citizen’s Oversight Committee. The funds raised through the bond will improve facilities, technology, and safety throughout the District. Just last week, the investment community purchased the first round of ABC bonds in the amount of $64.5 million. Due to the size of the bond and the District’s stellar credit rating, some of the most significant names in finance participated. A total of nine financial institutions placed bids, with the winning submission coming from Fidelity Capital Markets at 2.75% for a fixed 25-year term. The interest rate is significantly lower than what was estimated by the District’s bond consultants, which will enable ABC to finish sooner reducing the cost of the bond. The Board selected two architectural firms, WLC Architects and Rachlin Partners, and two construction management firms, Tilden-Coil Constructors and Vanir Construction Management. All four firms went through a rigorous selection process to establish the extent of K-12 experience, history of cost controls, schedule management, knowledge of LEED and Energy conservation construction, as well as a proven understanding of the state regulatory process. Between them, the firms have more than 200 years of combined experience working with over 400 school districts. WLC Architects is headquartered in Rancho Cucamonga and has been in business for 45 years, providing service to more than 200 school districts. Most recently, the firm has worked with Chino Valley and the Placentia /Yorba Linda Unified School Districts. The firm has also worked with the ABC Unified School District in the past. Rachlin Partners is out of Culver City, with more than 35 years of service to 30 school districts, the firm has worked with

THE ENTRANCE to Artesia Cemetery, which has seen mismanagement and has sat in disrepair and neglect for years. Photo by Tammye McDuff. BY BRIAN HEWS The Artesia Cemetery District, established in 1882, was the only cemetery in the area for many years, exclusively serving the needs of Artesia, Cerritos, Hawaiian Gardens, and portions of Lakewood, Long Beach, and Norwalk, with the cemetery hosting over forty Civil War Veteran plots. But in the past decade, the cemetery has fallen into mismanagement and disrepair, including broken sprinklers, invasive weeds and a large number of gophers.

The cemetery earns its revenue from local property taxes, cremation services, and the sale of plots, which should have been enough to keep the cemetery in good shape. But the management team of Joyce Yuetter and Robert Yuetter, relatives of Gretchen Whitney, whom the local high school in Cerritos is named after, allowed the cemetery to fall into disrepair while losing money for years. When L.A. County 4th District Supervisor Janice Hahn was elected, she imme-

The City of Bellflower is proposing an adjustment to the maximum rates for residential, commercial and multi-family solid waste collection services. The proposal will be presented to City Council for approval at a public hearing on August 26. If approved the rates would become effective September 1, 2019. Proposition 218 requires that the City mail notices of these proposed rate changes to all impacted property owners and solid waste collection service customers at least 45 days before a public hearing. Prop 218 also establishes a protest process for the public to follow if they wish to oppose the proposed Rates. A notice of public hearing for a proposed adjustment was sent to every CR&R customer the week of July 15, 2019. Along with the public hearing information and protest for procedure, official ballot and proposed monthly rates increase were enclosed. To date there has been nothing included in CR&R statements. For an average household the monthly charge is $18.87, which is billed every two months [$37.74]. The proposed increase would go up to $19.64 [$39.28] this year and then increase again in 2020 to $20.37 [$40.74]. According to a CR&R spokesperson, there is no information as to a further yearly increase after 2020.

FREE CERRITOS SEMINAR: WHY EARTHQUAKE RETROFITS MAKE ECONOMIC SENSE

COYOTE SNEAKS THROUGH DOGGIE DOOR WHILE OWNER WAS AWAY, KILLING PET DOG

STAFF REPORT

ATTACKS tend to increase in the spring and summer so officials are warning residents to be on the lookout. Given the close proximity of the river, residents in and around Cerritos should be particularly alarmed. Courtesy Vancouver.com. BY BRIAN HEWS Animal officials are warning Buena Park residents and others in coyote prone areas to be aware, as one bold coyote recently entered through a Buena Park resident's doggie door attacking two dogs, killing one. Attacks tend to increase in the spring and summer so officials are warning residents to be on the lookout. Given the close proximity of the river, residents in and around Cerritos should be particularly alarmed Scott Goodling of Buena Park told ABC7 that he came home from work last Friday to find the aftermath of a coyote attack in his kitchen after the animal apparently came into his home through the door. "There was blood all over the floor,"

Goldling told the station. Although attacking pets is not uncommon in areas prone to coyotes, this type of attack is unprecedented. Officials told residents to take preventative measures such as keeping pet food inside, provide water inside for your pet, and keep lids on trash cans. Official also told residents that live near coyote prone areas to remove tall grass and weeds from their yard, install motion detecting lighting around the homes, move standing water and watch for fruit on the ground that could attract animals. The attack comes about a month after a cat was killed in the same neighborhood. Residents are urging they bring in a trapper since the animal is obviously aggressive.

or many immigrants and their families, America is synonymous with entrepreneurial opportunity. If the U.S. draws foreigners with promises of prosperity, the American economy also benefits enormously from their efforts. Naturalized citizens founded many of the nation's most powerful businesses: Google, Yahoo, and eBay owe their existence to entrepreneurs born abroad. Still, more titans of industry hail from families from other countries: Steve Jobs' and Jeff Bezos' fathers came from Syria and Cuba, respectively. Today, 44 of the country's Fortune 100 companies were founded by immigrants or their children – a stunning testament to those who bring their talents, hopes, and dreams to America's shores. Fundrocket set out to study the state of entrepreneurship among naturalized citizens nationwide, analyzing data from

IMMIGRANTS ARE TWICE AS LIKELY AS U.S.-BORN CITIZENS TO OWN INCORPORATED BUSINESSES the latest American Community Survey conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau. Their findings reveal the industries and cities in which businesses founded by naturalized citizens are thriving. Moreover, they analyzed how various ancestry groups have pursued particular avenues of opportunity, founding businesses in specific fields or regions of the country. Citizenship and Ownership When they considered the employment status of naturalized citizens relative to individuals born in the United States, Fundrocket found considerable evidence for the industriousness of those who are naturalized Americans. Their data indicated that naturalized citizens are far more likely to hold a job currently, with merely 28% unemployed or outside of the workforce. An even greater contrast emerged regarding business ownership: Naturalized citizens were twice as likely as U.S.-born citizens to work at their own incorporated businesses. In fact, naturalized citizens owned roughly 13 percent of all incorporated businesses, despite representing less than 7% of the total U.S. population. These figures reflect a recent surge: Between 2000 and 2017, the number of incorporated businesses owned by naturalized citizens increased more than 70%. This surge has particularly benefited the economies of some states. In New Jersey and New York, for example, over 40% of new businesses are founded by immigrants. Industries of Opportunity Some industries seem attractive to both native and foreign-born entrepreneurs. Construction and real estate ranked among the top fields for each citizenship category. Yet, naturalized citizens were especially drawn to certain industries, such as restaurants and other food services. This data point resonates with a familiar entrepreneurial narrative: Immigrants establish restaurants reflecting their culinary heritage, eventually creating thriving family businesses. Similarly, naturalized citizens were especially likely to own doctor's offices, reflecting the reality that more than a quarter of America's physicians are foreign-born. Some businesses were even more clearly associated with owners born abroad. Strikingly, naturalized citizens were 264% more likely to own gas stations and 213% more likely to own busi-

nesses involved in hosting or data processing. Surging Sectors For citizens both naturalized and native-born, which business sectors have exploded since the turn of the century? For business owners born abroad, child care has been a particular area of recent opportunity: In 2017, the number of naturalized citizens owning day care facilities was over 17 times higher than in 2000. This trend comes amid a critical shortage of child care programs across the U.S., suggesting many naturalized citizens are responding to urgent market demand. Additionally, the number of naturalized citizens owning crop production businesses multiplied more than 15 times over between 2000 and 2017. These businesses frequently depend on immigrant labor as well, although workers sometimes possess only temporary work visas. By contrast, U.S.-born business owners have driven massive growth in other sectors. From 2000 to 2017, the number of galleries or museums owned by nativeborn Americans increased nearly 16 times over (despite a period of financial gloom for the gallery business more generally). Similarly, the number of U.S.-born individuals owning beverage manufacturing companies increased by roughly 1,090%. This figure likely reflects the nation's craft beer boom, which has generated thousands of jobs over the last decade. Areas of Opportunity In several California cities, more than a third of all businesses were owned by naturalized citizens. In El Centro and Modesto, the largest portion of these entrepreneurs hailed from just across the southern border, while Yuba City and San Jose boasted strong Asian Indian and Vietnamese business communities respectively. In fifth-ranked Miami, naturalized citizens with Cuban heritage led the way: More than half the city's population has Cuban ancestry. Meanwhile, Los Angeles is home to a large number of business owners born in Korea. Many of them likely live and work in Koreatown, the nation's largest Korean community. Outside of America's bustling urban centers, however, entrepreneurship among newer citizens has also grown

JULY 19, 2019 considerably in quieter pockets of the country. In Reading, Pennsylvania, where roughly 65% of residents identify as Hispanic or Latino, the number of businesses owned by naturalized citizens increased nearly 18 times over between 2005 and 2017. Pensacola, Florida, also witnessed a remarkable surge in businesses owned by naturalized citizens, as did Spartanburg, South Carolina. Yuba City and El Centro also appeared in this ranking, indicating that much of their entrepreneurship among naturalized citizens has developed quite recently. Hard Work and Heritage Among naturalized citizens who own their own businesses, which ancestry groups are most thoroughly represented? At nearly 9%, individuals of Asian Indian descent owned the greatest portion of these businesses. This entrepreneurial streak has contributed to Indian-American prosperity: The median household earns roughly $100,000, far more than groups arriving from other countries and the U.S. population at large. Naturalized citizens of Mexican and Chinese ancestry also owned over 6% of these businesses. In part, these figures reflect the flow of migration from these nations. Mexico, China, and India are the most common birthplaces for individuals who settle in the U.S. In analyzing this data, however, it is important to distinguish ancestry and nationality. Individuals can identify with the nation in which they were born while also tracing their roots back to an entirely different ancestral group. For example, beginning in the 1960s, many Colombian families sought refuge from violence in neighboring Venezuela. As a result, children born to these migrants might possess Venezuelan nationality and Colombian ancestry. In some cases, a striking portion of smaller ancestry groups owned businesses of their own. A quarter of naturalized citizens with Kuwaiti heritage were business owners, and real estate was the most popular field within this group of entrepreneurs. Interestingly, Kuwaiti society is defined by rigid citizenship and class distinctions: Perhaps those who move to the U.S. from that culture are particularly appreciative of America's opportunities for economic mobility. Naturalized citizens with Israeli heritage were also quite entrepreneurial. This business ethic is reflected in Israel as well: The nation possesses the world's greatest number of startups per capita.

This study was done by Fundrocket and the University of Minnesota.

ARTESIA from page 1 diately saw the disrepair and appointed three new Board Members, Artesia Councilman Rene Trevino, Linda Gonzales, and Hahn’s area representative, Linda Johnson, who was appointed Chair, to help “clean up the place.” A search to hire a District Manager was started, with the cemetery publicly posting the position on Indeed as well as the SELACO Workforce Development Job Board. Forty-one applications were received and five applicants were interviewed by Johnson. With Johnson’s blessing, the Cemetery Board unanimously approved the hiring of Artesia resident and former State Senator Tony Mendoza, who in 2018, resigned from the California Senate just moments before a vote to formally expel him after a series of sexual misconduct accusations. The resignation was after a three-month saga that saw Mendoza vehemently deny any improper conduct while accusing his fellow legislators of unfair treatment. The Yuetters saw the writing on the wall and immediately resigned their positions, while Mendoza hit the ground running. Mendoza was given a laundry list of actions to be implemented at the cemetery consistent with the inactions of the Yuetters: conducting regular Board meetings; establishing an accounting system; budget and payroll procedures; monthly financial and tax reporting; printing sales materials, and, of course, getting rid of the gophers and weeds. At a special Board meeting this past Tuesday, Mendoza discussed the improvements, including those completed on the structures and the grounds. “The main building was in bad shape,” Mendoza told HMG-LCCN, “we are doing improvements to the building such as a new roof, updated plumbing, and painting inside and out.”

JULY 19, 2019 Major improvements are being made throughout the cemetery including an overhaul of irrigation system for the massive lawns. “Many of the water lines are old and some completely disintegrated,” said Mendoza, “we also had a severe infestation of gophers, which as you can imagine was a huge problem. We hired a professional company to come in and it took us several months, but we have it under control.” As soon as the irrigation system has been updated, the cemetery will begin seeding and fertilizing the park. ”We are going to make sure that the lawn is nice and green. The trees will also be pruned and thinned out in order to promote a healthier growth,” added Mendoza, “we want families to feel comfortable with where their loved ones have been placed.” A grand re-opening has been planned for Saturday, September 28th at 10:00 am. Supervisor Janice Hahn will be attending, with tours and a reception showcasing the improvements. Following in the footsteps of the larger cemeteries such as Forest Lawn, the Artesia Cemetery is planning to offer family events inside the facility throughout the year. Plans are in the works for a Family Movie Night November 2nd to celebrate Día de los Muertos featuring either Disney/ Pixar hit ‘Coco’ or 20th Century Fox ‘The Book of Life’. The event will also feature craft and food vendors. When contacted by HMG-LCCN Supervisor Hahn stated, “this cemetery was in disrepair and financial trouble. I needed someone who could turn this cemetery around and Tony is doing that. Tony has lived and worked in Artesia for a long time. He knows Artesia and knows this cemetery. He has already done more this past year to promote this cemetery and get it back in working order than anyone else has in a long time.”

PREMIER GIRLS FASTPITCH NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP PREVIEW

ARTESIA PUNISHERS 18 GOLD TEAM HOPES TO FEED OFF LAST YEAR’S STELLAR FINISH IN TOP TOURNAMENT BY LOREN KOPFF @LORENKOPFF ON TWITTER In 2007, Bobby Medina’s Artesia Punishers won the USA/Amateur Softball Association 18-Under National Championship, the lone title at that level for the program. Three years later came the emergence of the Premier Girls Fastpitch, a new organization that was to compete with ASA. And after several years of struggling in the new organization at the end of every July, the Punishers had their best performance last year. Now, in the 10th anniversary of the PGF, Medina hopes to bring home a second national title after coming in third place last July in the Platinum Division. The Punishers had somewhat of a

stress-free summer thus far as they didn’t have to compete in any of the PGF qualifiers, the first time that has happened. So, Medina has worked his team in a plethora of showcase games as well as friendlies, hoping to find that right combination. Even as pool play action of the PGF National Championship commences on Saturday, Medina still hasn’t decided on his top 12 players who he hopes will be the main force once the playoffs begin Monday morning. “I see the strengths…if we have our starting nine all show up, then I think everything is going to go well,” Medina said. “But they all have to come to play. We definitely have 12 good, solid players that we can get in there and compete at that level. The fault is them consistently putting the bat on the ball over and over again.”

From 2013-2017, the Punishers went 5-10 in playoff games in the PGF National Championship. Last year, they won the first four games before falling into the loser’s bracket. And while most of the team were seniors, Medina still has some experience on this year’s team to make another solid run and at least automatically qualify for next year’s end of the summer extravaganza. “I think last year’s team was a different team,” Medina said. “By far, [this year’s team] is not the same team. Every team is different. A coach’s job is to try to balance your strengths and weaknesses and try to make it best for everything. But I don’t think this year’s team compares to last year’s team at all. Last year’s team was 110 percent committed every day seven days a

week for three weeks straight [leading up to the PGF Nationals].” While no one really stands out on this year’s team, Medina says the key to his team’s success will come from inside the circle as his entire pitching staff is new to the team. “Definitely our pitchers,” Medina said of his team’s strengths. “We have three good, solid pitchers and mentally they have to come prepared. Sometimes they’re not, so one of them will have a bad day and in PGF, you can’t have a bad day. You have to have a good day. I feel in the pool play, we’ll find the one who has the strength and who wants to go get it. Someone will step up and that’s the one we’ll deal with.”

IRVINE-The Artesia Punishers 18 Gold team, coached by Bobby Medina, wrapped up its final tune-up before moving onto the Premier Girls Fastpitch National Championship and despite earning an automatic berth to the summerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top event, there are still questions to be answered. The Punishers competed in the Champions Cup last week and won three of seven games and while the team is relatively young, Medina still has not decided on a solid starting lineup for the PGF National Championship, which begins on Saturday with pool play action that has no bearing on the double elimination playoff portion. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were trying to get everybody in and show off the kids for the exposure and also at the same time prepare for the PGF,â&#x20AC;? Medina said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very important for us to try and balance the two. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s super hard [with] 26 kids.â&#x20AC;? The Punishers began pool play action of the Champions Cup last Wednesday morning with a 7-5 loss

CHAMPIONS CUP:Â ARTESIA PUNISHERS 18 GOLD TEAM HAS DECISIONS TO MAKE AS PGF NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP BEGINS Liebrecht (St. Joseph High), shortstop Jennifer Aguilar (Santa Fe High/Howard College) and right fielder Sophie Little (Culver City High) capped off the scoring for the inning. Two more runs would come across in the bottom of the second inning as center fielder Mikala Fletcher (Downey High) and second baseman Ariana Hamilton (Downey High) singled before first baseman Yasmine Castellanos (California High/St. Lawrence College) singled in a run. Fletcher would also add a run-scoring double in the next inning. However, the Punishers would see their weekend end abruptly with a 9-1 setback to their sister team from Las Vegas last Saturday afternoon. Medinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team was limited to a pair of hits-one by Fletcher and a double by Aguilar. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One of my biggest things and big-

Last Friday morning, the Punishers bounced back to defeat the (Edmonds) Washington Rush 4-1 before ending pool play action with a 3-0 loss to the (Stockton) BatbustersGomes/Clark later in the day. The Punishers opened the single elimination playoff portion with a 9-1 victory over the (Redlands) Minors Gold last Saturday morning at the Orange County Great Park as a fiverun bottom of the first inning paved the way for the big win. Three walks within the first four batters loaded the bases before catcher Kaylia Birdsong (La Habra High) singled in a pair of runs. Then singles from third baseman Skylar

gest problems I think that we had this year was getting the berth early on and not going to the PGF [Qualifiers] and qualifying at that competitive level and elimination brackets,â&#x20AC;? Medina said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Usually we have five elimination brackets by then. Now, we have one. I think it was a little difficult to try and get the mojo going for the kids, not [the coaching staff].â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been bouncing people in and out, in and out, in and out and some of them are doing good, some of them are performing, some of them are not,â&#x20AC;? he later said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I give them several chances so that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a fluke and I miss it. So, I want to make sure that I do have it. Probably in pool play, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll do the same. I have to do the same; I have two more I have to look at still.â&#x20AC;?

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction.

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 (844) 477-7869 or visit this Internet Web site WWW.STOXPOSTING.COM, using the file number assigned to this case 079795-CA. 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.
