HAWAIIAN GARDENS HIRES COMPANY FIRED BY EL MONTE FOR QUESTIONABLE BUSINESS PRACTICES

NORWALK CELEBRATES ITS FIRST PUBLIC ART MURAL BY TAMMYE MCDUFF The official ceremony to celebrate the first public art installation in Norwalk was held Saturday, July 27, 2019 at Norwalk Town Square. After being rained out earlier this year, NewMark Merrill Companies management was thrilled to finally unveil an original commission entitled “Spread Your Wings”, a permanent butterfly wall mural. The art installation is located at Pioneer Blvd. and Rosecrans Ave. in Norwalk. The free community celebration featured live music by Bandidos De Amor, butterfly stilt walkers, caricature artist, arts and craft activities, face painting and balloon artistry. Attendees sampled foods from Norwalk Town Square eateries including Tacos Chihuahua, Wingstop and the recently opened La Michoacana. Beautify Earth, a non-profit organization dedicated to beautifying neighborhoods and communities, was chosen by Town Square’s management to design the custom wall. Artists Ruben Rojas and Cloe Hakakian transformed the exterior wall of the soon to open Grocery Outlet store into a giant work of art. The mural will serve as an artistic gathering place for residents and visitors to reflect on the vision for their community.

His art is influenced by the urban landscape, painting for companies such as American Express, Heineken, The Los Angeles Zoo and the cities of Santa Monica, West Hollywood and Los Angeles. “I want to inspire communities and reshape the conversations people are having by transforming an empty space into something unique and empowering,” states Rojas. A Los Angeles native artist, Hakakian expresses her art through spray paints, oil paints, acrylics, watercolors and everything in between. A graduate of University of California, San

Diego with a B.S. in Neuroscience, she uses her field of study to focus on the fine detail in the anatomy of her art. Sandy Sigal, President and Chief Executive Officer of NewMark Merrill Companies, said, “For almost 60 years Norwalk Town Square has provided unique ways to support the community. We are proud to commission the “Spread Your Wings” mural as an artistic focal point and inspiration for the City,” he continued, “The store wall provides a perfect canvas for the giant mural design speaks to the cultural transformation currently underway in Norwalk”.

LAGUNA BEACH FESTIVAL ARTISTS RECALL HUMBLE BEGINNINGS Pablo Picasso has been quoted to say, “Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up.” Thanks to the Festival of Arts in Laguna Beach, exhibiting artists Molly Hutchings, Anthony Salvo, and Cheyne Walls were able to accomplish just that. Since its inception in 1947, the Junior Art Exhibit has come to be regarded as one of the highlights of the Festival of Arts Fine Arts Show. Selected from thousands of submissions representing schools throughout Orange County and judged by experts in their fields, artistic endeavors from more than 300 students (PK-12) are on display

Omar Hernandez, who now goes by the name Omar E. Hernandez, has quite the history working with cities.

At a recent Cerritos City Council meeting, a Sundance resident spoke at public comment complaining about the constant traffic travelling down Bloomfield after exiting from the 91 freeway. HMG-LCCN published a small article about the complaints, which, as the old saying goes, “opened the flood gates.” The problem can be traced to the closures in and around the 5 freeway forcing trucks travelling westbound on the 91 freeway to exit on Carmenita, driving north on Carmenita to Alondra. Trucks going eastbound are forced to exit on Bloomfield, turning north to Alondra. According to residents the trucks are heading to several facilities on the Cerritos-Norwalk border off of Alondra including UPS and a former Vons distribution center. Residents who live along Carmenita between Artesia and Alondra and in Granada Park near Bloomfield and Alondra are fed up with the noise and vibration and

MILLER CHILDREN’S & WOMEN’S BREAKS GROUND ON CHERESE MARI LAULHERE CHILDREN’S VILLAGE STAFF REPORT

ASSEMBLYWOMAN Cottie Petrie-Norris (right, holding procalmation) presents Miller Children’s & Women’s, along with donor Chris Laulhere, with a certificate of recognition in honor of the Children’s Village groundbreaking.

Miller Children’s & Women’s executives and families joined by elected officials to break ground on future Cherese Mari Laulhere Children’s Village. On Wednesday, July 24, MemorialCare Miller Children’s & Women’s Hospital Long Beach broke ground on an 80,000 sq. ft., four story building named the Cherese Mari Laulhere Children’s Village. When complete in 2021, the Children’s Village will give patients and their families access to pediatric doctors in more than 36 specialties, including cardiology, oncology and more, as well as a range of services, such as a laboratory, pharmacy, imaging and rehabilitation gyms, all in one location. To mark this momentous milestone for children’s health care in the region, Miller Children’s & Women’s was joined by Long Beach Mayor Robert Garcia, Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon, Assemblywoman Cottie Petrie-Norris and Long Beach Vice Mayor Dee Andrews. “Right now, Miller Children’s & Women’s has clinics across the city of Long Beach that offer lifesaving services,” says Long Beach Mayor Robert Garcia. “To bring all of these specialty clinics under one roof in this location, on top of the other services already located at the hospital, will be something incredibly special for the families across our greater community.” “In addition, it provides opportunities for the hospital to reimagine the space currently being used for these clinics to further improve care. We’re very excited as a community, as Long Beach, to break ground for the Children’s Village,” says Mayor Garcia. For many children, medical care doesn’t end when they leave the hospital. Patients will be seen at the Children’s

Village for a variety of reasons — from a one-time consultation to follow-up care for a wide range of health conditions requiring specialized pediatric care. “Each year, we treat 65,000 children in our outpatient specialty centers across the region,” says John Bishop, CEO, Miller Children’s & Women’s. “We anticipate that number to grow by about 20 percent in our first five years. As one of eight freestanding children’s hospitals in California it is our mission to fulfill the unique health care needs of the children in the communities we serve, and the Children’s Village will do exactly that.” To realize the vision for the Children’s Village, in August 2018, the Miller Children’s & Women’s Foundation embarked on a $60 million philanthropic campaign to support the capital and programmatic needs of the project. “We have been humbled by the early generosity and passion of our community for the Children’s Village,” says Sharon Thornton, president, Miller Children’s & Women’s Foundation. “In less than a year, I’m proud to share that we have raised more than $30 million in total commitments, putting us past the half-way mark toward our ambitious goal.” A portion of the success can be attributed to a recent transformational gift from the Cherese Mari Laulhere Foundation to name the Children’s Village and provide program support. “Each and every gift will allow us to move one step closer to providing a new level of care for our children who need it most,” says Thornton.

BELLFLOWER 'GRANNY FLAT' USING SMALL SPACES TO MEET HOUSING NEEDS BY TAMMYE MCDUFF It used to be that having an extra living space was considered by a home owner to be sign of upscale living. Within the last few years downsizing and tiny houses has become a chic living space, even spurring several HGTV television shows. In California, there's not enough housing to meet demand these days, and what is available tends to be too expensive for most people. Big solutions like massive apartment complexes take years to build, so residents and cities are turning to a small-scale solution, the kind that can fit

in a backyard. One quick fix is the granny flat. These small backyard units are all the rage and legislation has made them easier to build. In January of 2017, Senator Bob Wieckowski and Assemblyman Richard Bloom signed a bill to help ease the housing crisis in California, making it easier to build a granny flat in Southern California. What this granny flat law did was to allow any lot with a single-family house to be able to build a second rentable unit, even existing structures like a garage, could be converted into an accessory dwelling unit. Homeowners could build a minimum of 150 square foot and a maximum of 1,200 square foot as a detached structure. A local young man, Shaun Crha of Wrensted Interiors is the principal designer of his own interior design company. He is a fourth generation Bellflower native and he has recently completed his own Accessory Dwelling Unit, the project was featured on MyDomaine focusing primarily on the design, “I know that ADU/granny flats are a growing trend in helping to address housing shortages, it is a short term guest house and from the beginning, I knew that the guest house could be a place for our parents to live one day, somewhere they could age with dignity near family," says the interior designer. Crha told Megan Beauchamp of MyDomaine that he and his husband wanted to evoke the Spanish bungalow design to complement their own 1930’s original home, “Although we wanted to build a welcoming guest house, we didn’t want to give up their entire back yard. The result was 345 square foot addition, complete with a full bathroom, full kitchen, and a living and sleeping area, making it the

Law enforcement experts are promoting video doorbells and related home security devices as effective tools in reducing burglaries and residential property crimes. Video doorbells can also help in the capture and prosecution of property criminals. To encourage more Lakewood residents to purchase video doorbells and home security devices, the City of Lakewood is partnering with the company Ring on a program that provides a $100 discount on many Ring products. For example, the discount reduces the cost of Ring's popular "Video Doorbell 2" by 50% from its normal $199 retail price. Ring's community subsidy program provides a total of $20,000 in discounts

The high ceilings and natural light help make the kitchen feel much larger than its modest 70 square feet.

to the first 200 purchasers in a community (or $100 per purchaser) if the local government provides half of that $20,000 discount. Only one discount will be available per household. "While Lakewood is definitely in a very tight budget climate right now, we felt that $10,000 from the city was a small but smart investment in getting this crime prevention technology out to more Lakewood residents," said City Manager Thaddeus McCormack. "People may wonder why we are partnering just with Ring, but they are the only video doorbell company that offers this kind of community discount partnership," said McCormack. The discounted Ring products will be available at a one-day event on Wednesday, August 28, 2019 from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Burns Community Center, 5510 Clark Ave. For details on the community discount program, go to www.lakewoodcity.org/ RING or email LakewoodRing@lakewoodcity.org.

DOWNEY HOSTS 'GIRLS ON FIRE' SUMMER PROGRAM

THE GIRLS on Fire Summer Camp addressed the unique challenges facing young girls through a series of interactive presentations, physical fitness activities, and team building sessions led by leaders in the community.

BY TAMMYE MCDUFF In alliance with the Downey Unified School District, Downey Police Department and City Council, Mayor Pro Tem Blanca Pacheco and Council woman Claudia Frometa held the very first Girls on Fire Summer Program. The free threeday summer workshop was held July 29th –31st at the Downey Civic Theatre. The Program is a new summer day workshop for 6th - 12th grade girl students of the Downey Unified School District. The Girls on Fire Summer Camp addressed the unique challenges facing young girls through a series of interactive presentations, physical fitness activities, and team building sessions led by leaders in the community. “As we know the ages of 12 to 18 can be a very stressful time for young women,” states Frometa, “between the pressures of social media, physical and emotional changes, the challenges our girls go through can be taxing.” Participants were coached in selfdefense both physical and cyber bullying

and attended a discussion regarding the lure of internet crimes and the legal aspects of them. Girls were given key strategies on maintaining a healthy lifestyle, how to build their own self esteem and how to help others do the same. Discussions were held about suicide prevention, what healthy romantic relationships are and are not and how to access helpful resources. “Girls on Fire brought young ladies alongside female leaders in our community, to listen, learn and work together, not only addressing their own concerns but community issues as well,” Pacheco said ,” Our idea is to create a network of connected girls in the city and may-be even throughout the state to be champions of each other,” adding “ the idea was is to create a safe and vibrant space where young ladies can be bold and express themselves, to build confidence and connect to the bigger picture. The weekend was a complete success!” For more information call (562) 9047284 or send questions to girlsonfire@ downeyca.org

DOWNEY HONORS HIGH SCHOOL PARENTS OF THE YEAR

BY TAMMYE MCDUFF In 1994, Congress passed “The Parents’ Day Resolution” establishing the fourth Sunday of July as a perennial day of commemoration. On this day

HONORED: Downey Mayor Rick Rodriguez (far left) with Parents of the Year Ruben and Cheryl Juarez, Ishmael and Patricia Chavez, and Mr. Reyes Garcia.

each year, mericans recognize outstanding parents, celebrate the teamwork in raising children, and support the role of parental guidance in building a strong, stable society. Dorothy Pepperton, co-chair of the Downey National Parent Program and former recipient, introduced this year’s three honored families from Downey’s three high schools. “I had not heard of National Parents Day until a friend of mine received the award, and then later I was honored to be a recipient. This award honors those parents who have gone above and beyond as parents, volunteers and residents of our city,” said Pepperton. Continuing in the tradition, Warren High School principal Laura Rivas congratulated Ruben and Cheryl Juarez for being engaged parents, “This is a power couple and they have poured countless hours into the high school band program. They are involved with PTSA and I am so proud of their commitment to our school and to their child. I really do believe they bleed blue and gold.” Downey High School honored Ishmael and Patricia Chavez. Principal Tom Houts was highly complementary when

introducing the two, “I want to mention that their son graduated last year and Ishmael is still raising funds for the football team, over $100,000 so that the team can go to Hawaii, he feeds over 600 kids at St. Dominic Savio school and participates as a booster for our girls Wrestling Team.” Houts went on to thank Patricia for sharing such dedicated husband and father with Downey High School. As a continuation school, Columbus High has the distinction of being named a model continuation high school for 2019 by the state of California. The school has created a successful collaboration between staff and students where students receive targeted support and individualized instruction to overcome academic challenges. Mr. Reyes Garcia was named as ‘Parent of the Year’ for his exemplary commitment to the school and to his grandson. “Volunteers don’t necessarily have the time but they have the heart. This quote exemplifies Mr. Garcia. He is grandfather and guardian to one of our wonderful students and has been a Downey resident for over 50 years. Although he is new to Columbus, Mr. Garcia has stepped up to the plate, volunteering for numerous groups. He is not only a champion for his grandson, but for Columbus and has helped us become a model for continuation schools,” said principal Sochi. Mayor Rick Rodriquez recognized, “This is what separates Downey from the rest of Southern California, the heart of our volunteers. We thank you for the commitment to our community, but more so to your children, you are raising socially conscious young adults.” Presentations and certificates were also made by Congresswoman Lucille Roybal Allard in celebration of these parents for being honored by the City.

FROM CNBC The Federal Reserve cut interest rates Wednesday, its first reduction since December 2008. For most Americans, the cut could mean a reprieve in escalating borrowing costs. At the same time, savings account rates may fall. The Fed's decision to cut interest rates marks a dramatic shift in monetary policy. After raising the federal funds rate nine times in three years, with the last move coming in December as financial markets were melting down, concerns about a slowing economy caused the Fed to reverse course. Now, interest rates are historically low, which leaves the central bank with little wiggle room in the event of a recession or if the economy stumbles. For consumers, it could mean a reprieve in escalating borrowing costs, which can impact your mortgage, home equity loan, credit card, student loan tab and car payment. Credit cards: Interest you pay may go down a bit . Almost half of all cardholders do not pay their credit card bill in full each month. Considering that the average household currently owes $8,390, credit card users would save roughly $1.5 billion in interest as a result of a quarter-point rate cut. A customer with a credit card balance of $1,400 at a 14.4% rate would only see their financing charge decrease by about 30 cents each month Savings: Depositors get squeezed Only recently have savers started to benefit from higher deposit rates â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the annual percentage yield banks pay consumers on their money â&#x20AC;&#x201D; after those rates hovered near rock bottom for years. After the rate cut, those deposit rates will come down to some extent. Some already have.

WHAT THAT FED RATE CUT

MEANS FOR YOU Online banks are still able to offer higher-yielding accounts because they come with fewer overhead expenses than traditional bank accounts and savers can snag significantly higher savings rates by shopping around. Mortgages: Time to consider a refi The economy, the Fed and inflation all have some influence over long-term fixed mortgage rates, which generally are pegged to yields on U.S. Treasury notes. As a result, mortgage rates are already substantially lower since the end of last year. The average 30-year fixed rate is now about 3.93%, the lowest since November 2016. If you can shave half a percentage point off your rate, that would save the average homeowner $125 a month. On the heels of the Fed decision, this represents

Los Cerritos Community News - LosCerritosNews.net

the single greatest saving opportunity for consumers. Many homeowners with adjustablerate mortgages, which are pegged to the prime rate, will see their interest rate go down as well, although not immediately as ARMs generally reset just once a year. The Fed's first rate cut in over a decade will also make it slightly cheaper for consumers to borrow money from a home equity line of credit or pay back their current HELOC loan. Unlike an ARM, HELOCs could adjust within 60 days so borrowers will benefit from smaller monthly payments within a billing cycle or two. Auto loans: Shoppers have more room to negotiate For those planning on purchasing a new car, the Fed decision likely will not have any big material effect on what you pay. But the rate cut also lowers financing costs for car manufacturers and dealers as well. Student loans: Some good news for grads with private loans While most student borrowers rely on federal student loans, which are fixed rate, more than 1.4 million students a year use private student loans to bridge the gap between the cost of college and their financial aid and savings. Private loans may be fixed or may have a variable rate tied to the Libor, prime or T-bill rates, which means that when the Fed cuts rates, borrowers will likely pay less in interest, although how much less will vary by the benchmark. If you have a mix of federal and private loans, consider prioritizing paying off your private loans first or refinance your private loans to lock in a lower fixed rate, if possible. (A college education is now the second-largest expense an individual is likely to incur in a lifetime â&#x20AC;&#x201D; right after purchasing a home. The average graduate leaves school $30,000 in the red, up from $10,000 in the early 1990s.)

FESTIVAL

Continued from page 1 in the Junior Art Gallery. The exhibit has become a showcase for new generations of young Orange County artists, and a vibrant authentication to the value and importance of continuing arts education in schools. This summer featured exhibitors Molly Hutchings, Watercolors; Anthony Salvo, Oil Paintings, and photographer Cheyne Walls recall their first showings in the Junior Art Exhibit many years ago at the Festival of Arts Fine Art Show Junior Art Exhibit. When Hutchings was a sophomore in high school [1967], her art teacher submitted her first watercolor painting to be considered for exhibition at the Junior Art Exhibit at the Laguna Beach Festival of Arts. When she found out her painting had been chosen, it was not just a surprise to her; it was the first time she believed that she could become a professional artist. Hutchings has been an exhibitor at the Festival for the last 20 years and now participates as a juror for the Junior Art Exhibit, selecting the next generation of young artists. Anthony Salvo has lived in Southern California since the age of twelve and that is when he discovered oil painting. Always drawing and painting as a child, he knew that art would be his profession. When Salvo turned 16, his art teacher Richard Smith submitted Salvo’s work and it was selected as a finalist. “Because of this experience, I fell in love with the Festival, and always thought I might be an exhibitor one day. This summer will be my third time to be

in the Fine Art Show,” said Salvo. His subject matters range from vintage cars to landscapes and he has been remarkably successful in painting competitions. He is also a juror for 2019 Junior Art Exhibit. In 2000, Cheyne Walls was a junior in high school, his photograph of a car’s wheel was chosen to be in the Festival of Arts Junior Art Exhibit. Five years later, he became a photographer for Motor Trend magazine and has since travelled the world photographing cars for top automotive brands. It was during these trips that he fell in love with landscape photography. In 2012, he juried into the Festival of Arts Fine Art Show. Specializing in panoramic images of the Northern American landscape, he is now an international award-winning photographer. The Festival of Arts has always been a local leader that has helped in the growth and development of the community and the arts community in Laguna Beach. Established in 1932, the Festival of Arts’ mission is to promote, produce and sponsor events and activities that encourage the appreciation, study and performance of the arts. Every summer, for over 85 years, the Festival of Arts has produced two worldclass events: The Festival of Arts Fine Art Show and the Pageant of the Masters. This year’s annual Junior Art Awards is schedule for Sunday, August 1, 2019 at 11:00 am. The public is invited to attend and celebrate the talent, creativity and hard work of these Orange County Students. The 2019 Festival of Arts Fine Art Show will continue through August 31 with general admission tickets starting at $10 per person.

TRUCKS

Continued from page 1 wrote HMG-LCCN demanding something be done about the traffic. “Dear Sir,” wrote resident H. Woodson, “I have been a resident of the Granada Park Cerritos neighborhood near both Bloomfield and Alondra for 40 years and can personally attest to the vastly increased noise levels. Not only have noise levels increased significantly due to speeding, overloaded trucks traveling across potholeinfested roads, but it has become an issue 24/7, with high levels of truck traffic at all hours of the day and night, every single day of the week, with the possible exception of Sunday morning between 1:00 am and 7:00 am being the only hours of respite.” Another resident, S. Bidani who lives on Carmenita, had the same complaint, “I live off of Carmenita Road (close to intersection at Beach), which is NOT a designated truck route. Despite this fact Carmenita faces severe truck noise and traffic. The road has a bike path, and has an elementary school (Stowers) and Middle School (Carmenita Middle) right on it, creating serious safety issues, as these large trucks at times race down Carmenita road to avoid a red signal. This traffic is further causing property damage through significant vibrations it creates, potentially damaging the foundations of the houses.” Resident Chris Cascone, who attended a Cerritos Council meeting to complain, later wrote, “Myself and many of my neighbors have emailed or contacted City Council without response. The semi trucks are now 24/7 on Bloomfield and that they are ruining Bloomfield.” Cascone produced a sound meter he used to measure the noise that indicated the DB levels were between 70 and 90 DB’s. “Under federal guidelines,” Cascone

asserted, “anything over 70 DB’s requires hearing protection.” HMG-LCCN researched and found the following routes on codepublishing.com, a site that publishes individual city’s city codes: (1) Artesia Boulevard, between the westerly city boundary and eight hundred feet ± west of Shoemaker Road; (2) South

in violation of the City Ordinance that bans trucks on any portion of Carmenita (except the 91 Fwy exit to South St).” Cascone wrote, “Even after several calls of protest by several people in the area, the city has shown no interest in solving the problem. Yes it is a fact that Bloomfield is a designated truck route but that doesn’t mean that it should continue to cause people to lose sleep and keep their windows closed during the hot summer months without coming to some sort of resolution.” But it seems that actions of both residents and the article in HMG-LCCN finally got the attention of the City and City Council. Cascone wrote HMG-LCCN yesterday, Aug. 1, saying, “"You will be happy to hear that the City is contracting with the County of Los Angeles to complete some larger hot patches on Bloomfield. County crews will actually grind and remove approximately 2" of the asphalt surface of the uneven areas and replace the surface with hot asphalt that will be compacted in place to very closely match the elevations of the existing street surface on all sides” Officials wrote to the City, “The County work will begin on the southbound lanes of Bloomfield Avenue on May 1. Once the southbound lanes are repaired, the County will proceed with repairs on the northbound lanes. These repairs are more permanent and should greatly alleviate the truck noise. However, some truck noise is typical when living adjacent to a major street.” Cascone responded, “I find it difficult to believe that the city council members, who have been elected by us and who’s responsibility is to represent us, find our ability to have a peaceful night’s sleep as being inconsequential. Trucks should not be traveling beyond the hour of 6pm on Bloomfield Ave.”

ment in a payback scheme to her supporters, with City Manager Ernie Hernandez labelling the contract as “Professional Services,” to avoid a competitive bidding process. The sources say that the centerpiece of the grant is a competitive swimming pool that a local swim team called The Sharks will use. Many on the team are avid supporters and voters for Mayor Maravilla, with some reportedly walking campaign flyers in the past. It is not the first time Hernandez has been involved in controversial contracts. The San Gabriel Valley Tribune first wrote about Hernandez and his extremely questionable business practices as revealed in a 2013-2015 El Monte city audit. The auditors raised “particular concerns” about Hernandez which included overbilling, insufficient back-up of invoice items, and submitting identical invoices for two different time periods. According to the audit, Hernandez was paid $380,000 in 2014 and $461,000 in 2015. For some weeks, Hernandez billed the City for over 65 hours of work for a 40 hour week at $110 per hour, the highest rate allowed in the contract. Hernandez also demanded that the City “rush” checks which raised “questions and concerns” with auditors and demanded 75% up front before any work was done. And Hernandez always wanted to receive payments weekly, highly unusual for a consultant. By August 2016, the City purged everyone involved with the scandal including the Mayor, the City Manager, and Hernandez. The Los Angeles Times wrote that, among other issues, the auditors said that Arroyo did not have a physical office and that it did not keep any records, such as time sheets or other records, to justify the work it was doing.

In one case, auditors said that City Manager Ybarra had used a city credit card to pay for airline tickets and hotel expenses for Arroyo employees. Arroyo later submitted a reimbursement for the expenses. And similar to the agreement with Hawaiian Gardens, the auditors also said they found that contracts were frequently “altered” and were never put up for competitive bidding. And cursory research by HMG-LCCN into GUS reveals further questions. GUS’ website states, “Global Urban Strategies, Inc. (GUS) is a full service results oriented consulting firm based out of Los Angeles, Ca. Yet online documents show a corporate address for GUS located on South Date Ave. in Alhambra. Online property records show that the address is a single family dwelling that was bought in 2014, during his work with El Monte. Those same documents show that GUS was incorporated in July 2016, just weeks before the El Monte Mayor plead guilty to felony bribery along with the city manager resigning; and weeks before Arroyo’s contract was terminated. Yet the GUS website states, "we have been in business for over 20 years and are the premier provider of business solutions.” At the July 23 meeting, Councilman Hank Trimble, the only council person to question Hernandez stated, “what I heard, and the City should know, and I am going to ask you point blank because I don’t know you, but I was told there are several articles about you embezzling about $250,000 from another City, are those articles accusing you? Hernandez laughed and responded, “you are completely 100% wrong.” Several emails into City Manager Ernie Hernandez, Mayor pro tem Jesse Alvarado and the remaining council members

went unreturned. Several emails and texts into Mayor Myra Maravilla resulted in answers unrelated to the story, with her last text telling HMG-LCCN, “feel free to contact each council member individually.” HMG-LCCN has obtained the professional services contract between GUS and the City, which contained and address of 530 South Lake Ave., Suite 478, in Pasadena, Ca., and a phone number. The GUS website does not have a contact phone number, only an email contact form. Emails using that form in to GUS and Hernandez went unreturned until HMG-LCCN texted the phone number from the contract, which produced a statement from Hernandez. Hernandez’ statement was full of inconsistencies. He attempted to distance himself from Arroyo and the audit findings, saying GUS has no connections to Arroyo, when the two daily newspaper articles clearly indicated he was the owner of Arroyo. Hernandez stated, “Arroyo Strategy Group, which was once headed by our President [of GUS], has been closed since 2016.” California Corporate ownership records show that Hernandez is the current President of GUS. Hernandez went on, “the final State auditor's report done for the City that you mentioned found no criminal wrong doing by that (Arroyo) company. Arroyo Strategy Group was not responsible for the City’s internal controls or contracting practices.” And similar to not maintaining an office for Arroyo, the South Lake Suite 478 address for GUS is a Mail Box Planet franchise location. Calls into the company confirmed that “Suite 478” is a PO Box. editor@cerritosnews.net

HERNANDEZ

Continued from page 1 el Valley Tribune and Los Angeles Times, Arroyo worked with the city of El Monte for two years starting in 2013 and earned an eye-opening $841,000. A wide-ranging audit, as reported by the newspapers, later found that Arroyo’s contract was no-bid and awarded under the radar by then City Manager Tony Ibarra. El Monte Councilman Joe Gonzales questioned whether Arroyo and Hernandez was getting special treatment because of his relationship with other Council members. Hernandez served as a consultant on the election campaign of then-Councilwoman Angelica Garcia; the Mayor'sdaughter worked for Arroyo Strategies. By the time the dust settled two years later Ybarra had resigned, Aquinaga plead guilty to felony bribery charges, and major questions remained about Hernandez, who abandoned Arroyo Strategies and incorporated Global Urban Strategies. Despite the lingering questions and actions of Hernandez, the city of Hawaiian Gardens, led by Mayor Myra Maravilla and Mayor pro tem Jesse Alvarado, recently awarded a similar under-the-radar grant writing contract to his company. The engagement was completed during a study session that Councilman Hank Trimble missed leading him to ask Hernandez, who was giving a presentation at the July 23 meeting, “who are you, are you an employee?” It is quite a shocking hire by the City, and calls into question the motives of Maravilla, her council, (minus Hank Trimble) and City Manager Ernie Hernandez. Sources are telling HMG-LCCN that Mayor Maravilla pushed for the agree-

But the same code sets forth that trucks can travel basically anywhere, “This section shall not prohibit any commercial vehicles coming from an unrestricted street having ingress or egress by direct route to and from a restricted street when necessary for the purpose of making pickups or deliveries of goods, wares and merchandise from or to any building or structure located on the restricted street or for the purpose of delivering materials to be used in the actual and bona fide repair, alteration, remodeling or construction of any building or structure upon the restricted street for which a building permit has been previously obtained.” HMG-LCCN’s former offices were located at Artesia and Shoemaker. Many times L.A. County Sheriffs were seen pulling over trucks on travelling east or west Artesia between Carmenita Shoemaker because that part of Artesia prohibits truck travel, necessitating truck going east to turn north on Shoemaker and trucks travelling west to turn north on Carmenita. Regardless, all residents complained about the lack of action from Cerritos and the Sheriffs. Woodson wrote, “Enforcement is a joke; the Sheriff’s Department periodically assigns a motor officer to Ash Creek/ Bloomfield or (less frequently) Vagnone/ Alondra to enforce speed limits. However, the truckers are typically equipped with radar/lidar detectors and so most of the tickets are issued to oblivious drivers of passenger cars that fail to see the motorcycle in time to slow down. I walk my dog daily along both of these major streets, and have regularly observed the trucks traveling at or below the 45 mph speed limit ONLY in the presence of the motorcycle cop and his radar gun.” Ms. Badani wrote, “The city of Cerritos has turned deaf ears to the several complaints made to them regarding the truck nuisance on Carmenita, which actually is

BY LOREN KOPFF @LORENKOPFF ON TWITTER IRVINE-In a region of the United States where Hollywood scripts are written everyday and fairytales come true, Jazmine Hill experienced both last Saturday afternoon at the Premier Girls Fastpitch High School All-American game. The recent Gahr High graduate put on a show that impressed everyone in attendance and brought more smiles to the coaches at Arizona State University, where she will next showcase her talents. Hill went two for three, drove in a pair of runs, scored once, turned a double play on defense and made four other plays in the field as her West AllStar team doubled up the East 6-3 in the 4th annual event at Deanna Manning

Stadium. Hill was one of two players to pick up a pair of hits and was named the game’s most valuable player. “It was just a fun experience,” Hill said. “The most important thing is that everyone has fun and we just go out and do what we know how to do.” Hill said she heard about the AllAmerican game at the beginning of her senior season and knew she had to push herself both playing for the Lady Gladiators and her travel softball team, the (Orange) So Cal Athletics-Richardson, which finished in third place in the Premier Division of the PGF National Championship. She knew that if she wanted to get on the West team, she had to stand out and be the best. She did and a few weeks after the CIF-Southern Section playoffs ended, she got an email and phone call stating she had been

selected as one of 42 players who made the Western Region team, which covers seven states. That number was trimmed in half and comprised the West team with 16 coming from California, three from Arizona and two from Washington. The West team was also coached by Jennie Finch, a La Mirada High alumna, three time All-American at the University of Arizona and U.S. Olympian, among other things. And, what made this experience for Hill and the rest of the players unique is that the team never practiced or played together until last Saturday night. “She’s a gamer,” Finch said. “That’s the hot corner and she’s got to try to get hard hit balls up there and she handled it well. Beautiful. On this stage, a lot of pressure kind of going in and that was my advice to [the players] before. You’ve earned it to be here, enjoy it, soak it up, have some fun in this game and just be you. But, she did well and made things happen at the plate. She’s a good player.” “It was kind of weird, but this is a fun group of girls,” Hill said. “They’re outgoing, so it was pretty cool. At first it was kind of weird because we’re all getting to know each other. But there were some familiar faces because everyone has seen each other on the field, either in high school or travel. So, we knew we just had to come together in this moment.” The game was scoreless until one out in the top of the third inning when Jadelyn Allchin (Huntington Beach High) was walked and Ciara Briggs (Orange Lutheran High) and Alyssa Garcia (Mater Dei Catholic High, Chula Vista) singled to load the bases. Allchin would then be thrown out at home as Maya Brady (Oaks Christian High) was safe at first. Then on four straight balls, Hill was walked to bring in Briggs for the game’s first run. The West would score five in that inning and one more in the last inning as Hill’s base hit to center with two outs plated Garcia. Hill’s first hit came in the second, a one-out double to center, and would advance to third on a wild pitch before being stranded. At her third base position, Hill caught the first out in the bottom of the second inning and assisted on the final out. In the next inning with runners on first and second base, Jourdyn Campbell grounded out to Hill, who stepped on third base to get the second out before throwing to Raeleen Gutierrez (St.

Lucy’s High) to complete the double play. She then caught a line drive from Gabi Deters for the first out of the bottom of the fourth inning and again assisted on the last out of the frame. “Offensively, there were some great pitchers, but I just knew I had to execute and do my job and move runners,” Hill said. “So, that was my mindset. Defensively, I just knew I had to back up my pitcher and make plays no matter where it was.” Besides being selected to play in this prestigious event, Hill was equally excited to be coached by Finch, along with Lovieanne Jung, who grew up in Orange County and played for UCLA, and former University of Arizona standout Toni Mascarenas. The East team was coached by Suzy Brazney, Alyssa Palomino and Natasha Watley. “I was so excited,” Hill said. “I was fan drooling a little bit because that’s all we see when we’re growing up, is Jennie Finch. It was a great moment and I was super excited.” “It’s more just to have fun,” Finch said. “It’s celebrating the athletes that they are and yes, of course you want to win. You have pride; westside, eastside. But ultimately, they’ve earned the opportunity to be here and to showcase their skills. It’s more just letting them kind of have their night to shine, and that’s what they did. “It’s really just to enjoy and appreciate the opportunity that they have and being named PGF All-Americans, that’s huge, that’s huge,” she continued. “These are the next All-Americans, these are the next Women’s College World Series MVP’s. You never know what we’ve got. But the future is bright.” Cerritos High head softball coach Kim Ensey also played a big part in the game as she is the player liaison for the two teams. Ensey was asked by PGF President and Chief Executive Officer Dan Hay to take on that role and ever since, Ensey has overseen the players for the week. She makes sure they have all their stuff they need and where they need to be and plan events for them. “It’s just really fun getting to know each of the girls and spending the week with them,” Ensey said. As far as the players not practicing or playing a game together before the All-American game, Ensey said she wasn’t too worried how they would

NOTICE OF PETITION TO ADMINISTER ESTATE OF: SHEILA ANN INGERSOLL CASE NO. 19STPB05525 To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the WILL or estate, or both of SHEILA ANN INGERSOLL. A PETITION FOR PROBATE has been filed by CHRISTINE MORRIS in the Superior Court of California, County of LOS ANGELES. THE PETITION FOR PROBATE requests that CHRISTINE MORRIS be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent. THE PETITION requests the decedent's WILL and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate. The WILL and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the court. THE PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act with limited authority. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. 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 in this court as follows: 8/29/2019 at 8:30AM in Probate Department 99 at 111 North Hill Street, 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. 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. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250 . A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.

The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the property address or other common designation, if any, shown above. If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Trustee's Sale.

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. You will be bidding on a lien, not the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (916) 939-0772 for information regarding the trustee's sale or visit this Internet Web site www.nationwideposting.com for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, 19-0099. 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. Date: 07/11/2019 ATTORNEY LENDER SERVICES, INC. Karen Talafus, Assistant Secretary 5120 E.

You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property.

The fear is palpable. To wrap up the evening, listeners will bask in Saint-Saëns’ Symphony No. 3 dubbed the Organ Symphony, of which Saint-Saëns said, "I gave everything to it I was able to give. What I have here accomplished, I will never achieve again.” February 8, 2020, the Symphony celebrates the rich heritage of folk melodies from the United States and Mexico reborn by 20th Century composers. The program opens and closes with works by American composer Aaron Copland: El Salón México and Appalachian Spring orchestral suite, which is best known for its “Simple Gifts” melody. In between, we’ll travel

south of the border to hear rhythmic music from Arturo Marquez (b. 1950), who captures the essence of his native Mexico in his charming Concerto for Harp, “Mascaras” and from Carlos Chavez, whose Symphony No. 2, “Sinfonía india” consists of three melodies originating from nativeAmerican tribes of northern Mexico. We’ll commemorate Beethoven’s 250th birthday on March 7, when guest violinist Stefan Jackiw will solo on Beethoven’s Violin Concerto in D major – the only concerto he ever wrote for the instrument. Trombone lovers will revel in Schubert’s Symphony No. 9, dubbed “The Great” to distinguish it from his shorter symphony in the same key. We wrap the Classical season with an exploration of love and war by Romantic composers on May 30. In Les Preludes, Liszt questions the meaning of love, life and death. Then guest pianist Claire Huangci will present Clara Schumann’s Pi-

ano Concerto in A minor, a work akin in its virtuosity to Chopin. By contrast, Brahms’ Symphony No. 4 in E minor, his final symphony, incorporates Brahms’ interpretation of the ideal symphony. The POPS! season kicks off October 26, with a performance by cross-over artist Lucia Micarelli, known for her collaborations with Josh Groban, Chris Botti, and Jethro Tull. On December 21, we’ll celebrate the holiday season with The Copa Boys, then on February 22 a celebration of Mardi Gras infused with New Orleans jazz. A tribute to the great Broadway composers, Stephen Sondheim and Andrew Lloyd Webber follows on March 21with tunes from Gypsy, West Side Story, Sweeney Todd, Evita, Cats, and Phantom of the Opera! The POPS! season ends with energy on May 9: A Night of Symphonic Rock featuring an all-star band playing classic rock favorites that will have audiences playing air guitar in the aisles.
