tions regarding matters pertaining to their respective districts.

“This was a productive and honest dialogue between myself and a group of dedicated educators on how best to serve the students, parents, and teachers in the Thirty-Second Senate District,” Sen. Archuleta said.

The senator emphasized teamwork,

An eleven page Unfair Practice Charge filed against El Rancho Unified School District, exclusively obtained by HMGLCCN, portrays some members of the ERUSD Board as an extremely malicious group, pitting administrators and teachers against each other, fabricating reasons to terminate administrators, demoting and dismissing ERUSD personnel without evaluations, and harassing parents who spoke at Board meetings, all in an effort take over the ERUSD, hand their own friends a job, and install their radical leftwing communist ethnic studies curriculum into the district.

The ERUSD Board Members involved in the scheme, as outlined in the Public Employees Relation Board (PERB) Charge filed by Los Angeles-based attorney Jeff Boxer, include ERUSD Board President Jose Lara, Vice-President Gabriel Orosco, and Clerk Leanne Ibarra (the Group); the remaining Board members are not implicated.

The scheme started after Ibarra was elected in 2018, giving Lara a majority on the Board. By March 2019, the Group issued twenty-three layoff notices for nearly all ERUSD Administrators.

The layoffs were targets of the Group, meant to decimate the entire El Rancho Administrators and Supervisors Association Union’s Bargaining Unit, threatening them with imminent unemployment.

But none of the employees targeted had evaluations, a requirement as dictated by the Educational Employment Relations Act, so the Group narrowed the field to seven.

Targeted were former ERASA President Sam Genis, and ERASA members David Sermeno, Hector Vasquez, and Rosalio Medrano; El Rancho Federation of Teachers members included Todd Zola, Pedro Canizales, and Natalie Valdiviez.

The Group’s plan was to pit administrators against teachers and fabricate discipline issues so they could be fired, forcing administrators to violate the protected rights of subordinates while prohibiting “protected activities” on their school sites.

The Charge alleged that Lara and Oros-

Other area cities with a 10.25% rate include Compton, Cudahy, East Lynwood, Hawthorne, Huntington Park, Long Beach, Lynwood, Pico Rivera, and Southgate.

Of the over 2,000 cities in California, only two have a 10.50% rate while only twenty have the 10.25% rate.

The Council considered four companies for research and labeled the contract “professional services,” which precludes the contract from the public bidding process and allows City Manager Ernie Hernandez to award the contract.

Two of the companies were considered for Statistical Collection and Survey Research and two were considered for Education and Research.

Twelve year old Shane Selloria a resident of Bellflower received a special certificate of achievement for his singing and outstanding ventriloquists’ performance. He won a gold medal in Vocal Variety and three silver medals for Acting / comical; Acting for TV and Modeling Swimwear in the 11/12 year old categories.

If you live in the city of Downey, then no doubt you have heard about Dr. Mary Stauffer. This unique and inspiring individual has led the way for women and for the community in numerous ways. The city helped her celebrate her 102nd birthday which was Monday, August 26th.

Dr. Stauffer has led a remarkable life as a trailblazing doctor, matriarch, and founder / CEO of the Mary R. Stauffer Foundation. Since she started the foundation almost 30 years ago, she has donated millions for innovative educational projects in the Downey Unified School District.

Celebrations began Friday, August 23rd with the grand opening and ribbon cutting of Stauffer Middle School’s brand new Administration Building.

A special collection of memorabilia as student, doctor and philanthropist is on permanent display in the foyer.

West Middle School was renamed in her honor in 2014 “It is rare that the namesake of a school is present to celebrate their life, especially in such a monumental year,” said Dr. John Garcia, Jr., Superintendent of Downey Unified School District.

The weekend long birthday celebrations continued for Stauffer at the Columbia Memorial Space Center on Sunday, August 25th. It is estimated that more than 4,000 people were in attendance with cards, flowers and balloons celebrating the centenarian.

Inside the center, photos and memorabilia of Stauffer’s life were

on display, from her deep velvet blue wedding suit to her many years as an OB/GYN delivering more 2,000 babies in the Downey area. She was one of the very first doctors to invite husbands into the delivery room and offer classes via a film projector on what to expect during delivery.

In special commemoration of all that Stauffer has done for the Space Center, the gardens and amphitheater have been named as the Stauffer Gardens in her honor.

“Ms. Stauffer has impacted the City of Downey, like no other resident,” said Downey Councilman Alex Saab, “her legacy has been cemented in Downey for generations to come from assisting in births and deliveries, to providing millions of dollars through her foundation in scholarships to the community.”

Stauffer was instrumental in the Character Counts campaign, which is why Downey can boast of a 96% graduation rate, one of the highest in the United States. “It doesn’t matter where you come from or what adversity you may have to face in life, your character can lead you to great things,” said Stauffer, “be steady and career focused and ready to lead the way.”

Dr. Stauffer’s grants have enriched the learning environment for DUSD students, purchasing resources for schools and/or facilitating the development of innovative and creative projects, giving out over 30,000 scholarships to Downey Unified students.

CITY EXPLORING OPTIONS TO MITIGATE TRUCK TRAFFIC NOISE The City of Cerritos is exploring options to mitigate the noise from trucks traveling on Bloomfield Avenue between Artesia Boulevard and Alondra Boulevard. This area is currently a designated truck route that allows trucks to access the City’s commercial areas north of the 91 Freeway.

The first option being considered is the development and implementation of a City ordinance to reroute and/or restrict truck traffic along Bloomfield Avenue. The ordinance would restrict the traveling of trucks on Bloomfield Avenue to certain hours only. The

feasibility of rerouting trucks from Bloomfield Avenue to alternate routes is also being evaluated.

A second option under consideration is the development of sound abatement strategies along Bloomfield Avenue to reduce the noise impact of trucks. The City has retained the services of a sound engineering consultant to review different options available for the purpose of mitigating vehicular noise in the area. As part of these possible sound abatement measures, the City will explore the pos-

support!

Several people spoke and impressed the council. This was a good showing and we should build on this, having people show up next month Sept. 12 or 26.

We have to show the city that we are a large group for them to take us seriously and listen to us.

If they think we are a small band of people they will ignore us and wait for us to get tired of complaining and go away.

The city of Cerritos has a population of 50,000, elections are won with 2,0003,000 votes. A petition should carry 2,000. We need more people. If people see others going to the meetings and writing letters, hopefully more will feel comfortable and show up.

[City Manager] Gallucci said that the city was monitoring traffic on Bloomfield as most of us have seen already, and will be monitoring sound next week. Both taking 2 weeks total then spending 3 weeks to discuss the results of the tests.

That is 5 weeks!

We have to show them that we will not just sit around and wait for the results of what we already know is a problem.

We have to reassure them that we will not be happy with a result that shows that there isn’t enough of a problem to make changes. Mr Gallucci also insisted that Valley View is the cause of the problem when, as I already pointed out during the meeting, Valley View does not help to service the trucks that travel on Bloomfield.

The Rosecrans and Carmenita exits are finished. Since the Carmenita exit is finished and trucks can travel to Alondra going west on Alondra there is no excuse for trucks to use Carmenita.

We have to keep the momentum going!

Continued from page 1 lized by local jurisdictions implementing similar measures.”

But during the meeting, Mayor Myra Maravilla acknowledged that Hernandez had experience with every company stating, “well Ernie, you choose, you’ve worked with them before and know them all.”

The services from the companies would include developing community outreach and education materials, conducting surveys to assess public support, conducting community workshops, and preparing the ballot measure language for the March 2020 ballot.

Fairbank, Maslin, Maullin, Metz & Associates (FM3) proposed the use of a dual-mode research methodology to conduct interviews online and via telephone via landlines and cell phones with live interviews.

A 15 minute survey for 200 interviews would cost $22,750, while a 300 interview survey would cost $24,250.

The two average out to $389 per hour for interviews.

A 20 minute survey for 200 interviews would cost $24,000, while a 300 interview survey would cost $26,000.

The two average out to $413 per hour for interviews.

Wallin Opinion Research (Wallin) proposed a similar survey but its cost proposal was based on the number of questions the caller asked a respondent.

For up to 20 questions and 300 respondents, Wallin would charge $13,500; for up to 30 questions with 300 respondents, $21,000.

Tripepi Smith would “execute com-

munity outreach and education efforts related to the tax measure.” Tripepi Smith proposed several items including a dedicated webpage on City website for city ballot, press releases, developing two animated videos about the measure up to one minute long each, and digital advertising placement and mailing “paid for by the City."

Tripepi Smith's price totaled $38,150.

The Lew Edwards Group (LEG) “only provides proposals for sole source considerations. If the City chooses, the LEG staff will negotiate a term that does not exceed market rate similar to like proposals.”

With the addition of L.A. County fees for including the measure, the City is looking at over $130,000 to place the measure on the ballot, with no guarantee of passage.

After the presentation, former Mayor Rey Rodriguez slammed the Council, “we have very few businesses, they are going to leave to other cities. How can you do this? What you need to do is stop spending. You are spending over $150,000 on two consultants from Norwalk and they are doing nothing.

You have spent over $500,000 on pay increases for friends of Mayor Maravilla’s, and you spent over $10,000 on travel, stop the spending.”

Councilman Hank Trimble, the lone no vote on the plan, told HMG-LCCN, " I need clarification to fully understand the good and bad before I make any decision on behalf of the City. I will be talking to people I've met at Contract and Independent City events to get a better understanding of the tax."

SUSPECT IN 2015 DOWNEY MURDER ARRESTED IN MEXICO STAFF REPORT On August 14, 2015, a homicide occurred in the City of Downey near Paramount Blvd and Stewart & Gray Road.

The victim, 28-year-old Andrew Martin Rosales, was shot and killed following an altercation with an acquaintance.

Downey Homicide Detectives quickly identified 26-year-old Jehosua Ruvalcaba as the suspect. The case was presented to the Los Angesles County District Attorney’s Office and an arrest warrant was issued; however, Ruvalcaba fled to

an unknown location in Mexico to avoid apprehension.

Ruvalcaba’s location remained unknown until July of 2019 when a tip from a citizen identified his location in Mexico.

On August 16, 2019, after working with United States Marshals and Mexican Police, Downey Homicide Detectives were able to have the suspect arrested in Jalisco Mexico and extradited to the United States. Ruvalcaba now faces charges for murder and was arraigned this week at the Downey Superior Court.

“The need in our District grows each year, and I’m so proud that the Foundation can support these students,” said ABC Education Foundation Board Chair Joseph Porter. “Through the support of our sponsors, we were able to meet this need with over 600 backpacks.”

Volunteers gathered at the Rancho Southeast Association of Realtors office in Cerritos to “stuff” the backpacks with pencils, paper, rulers, and other valuable supplies. Assemblymember Cristina Garcia and members of her district office were on hand to volunteer, as was ABCUSD Superintendent Dr. Mary Sieu.

After the backpacks were full, they were distributed across the District.

“We simply can’t thank the Foundation enough for its ongoing support of our students,” said Dr. Mary Sieu.

“These backpacks and school supplies will mean the world to our students, giving them the tools they’ll need for the school year.”

The Foundation purchased 600 backpacks and 15,000 pieces of supplies.

“Events like these really make rehabilitation fun,” says Mary Margaret Montgomery, MPT, director, clinical operations, MemorialCare Rehabilitation Institute, Long Beach Medical Center. “Having these baseball legends around to motivate our patients to get active and participate in physical therapy really makes a difference.

Last season, the inaugural 605 League was a welcome site for the Cerritos High girls volleyball team, which had been in the shadow of Mayfair High for the better part of two decades. The Lady Dons won all 10 league matches without losing a set and figure to be the favorites to win the league again. Artesia High, Gahr High, John Glenn High and Whitney High usher in new head coaches with half of those teams looking to turn around dismal campaigns.

ARTESIA LADY PIONEERS

0-24 overall last season, 0-10 in the 605 League, sixth place 17-90 overall last five seasons Head coach: Tommy Dube (first season) Last time made the playoffs: 2010 Division 7 Key losses: Elizabeth Bryson, Yulissa Sosa Key returning players: Senior libero/ defensive specialist Arely De Avila, junior middle blocker Sei Oriana Monis, junior outside hitter Tiffany Ramos

T

ommy Dube, who previously coached boys volleyball at Lakewood High and worked at St. Pius-St. Matthias Academy with the girls program, was hired a few months ago to take over a struggling Artesia varsity team that has now seen seven head coaches since 1998. The Lady Pioneers, who had their first winless campaign since 2011 and fifth since 1998, has had just one double-digit win season in over two decades (10-14 in 2010).

“The biggest challenge is just getting the ladies to think about the next play and really focusing on it’s over and where is that one percent we could get better every single day at practice,” Dube said. “So, we’re really working hard with them.

Also, we have a new team, so there’s new players that we brought in. I’m not familiar with who played last year to some extent and bringing the players into the fold.”

In the short amount of time that Dube has been with the team, he has been impressed with a pair of returning players-senior libero Arely De Avila, whom he says is extremely positive and is the team firecracker, and junior outside hitter Tiffany Ramos. Dube has also been impressed with senior middle blocker Jeanette Panuco, junior outside hitter Danae Green and junior right side hitter Yunehe Rodriguez.

Artesia returns a total of nine players with four others called up from the junior varsity team and one freshman-opposite hitter/middle blocker Simone Johnson.

Dube is hoping that the experience from the returners will help the team to better results. After losing the first two matches of the season, the Lady Pioneers finally got into the win column by sweeping Rancho Dominguez Prep on Aug. 21.

“I think the energy on the court is awesome,” Dube said. “I think out of all the schools I’ve worked at, this is one of those schools that has school spirit. The girls are on fire; they’re ready to work together. Now, it’s just putting their skill sets together so they can show the results of that effort.”

2019 GIRLS VOLLEYBALL PREVIEWS

CERRITOS STILL THE TEAM TO BEAT IN 605 LEAGUE WHILE FOUR NEW COACHES INVADE AREA CERRITOS LADY DONS

24-4 overall last season, 10-0 in the 605 League, league champions, lost to St. Anthony High in four sets in the Division 5 second round playoffs 82-42 overall last five seasons Head coach: David Cuthbert (seventh season, 94-53) Last time missed the playoffs: 2002 Division 4 Key losses: Tiana Agabon, Samantha Oh, Sidney Pasion Key returning players: Senior setter Emily Pasion, senior outside hitter/ middle blocker Nicole Blue, senior outside hitter Alyssa Sarigumba, junior outside hitter/middle blocker Karina Gatewood, junior defensive specialist Maile Tabon

C

erritos had one of the program’s best seasons ever, coming one win short of tying the mark set in 2009 when the Lady Dons went 12-0 in the Suburban League and advanced to the CIF-Southern Section Division III-A finals. It marked the third 20-win season since 2009 and was also the fourth straight season of less than 10 losses. So, what does head coach David Cuthbert do for an encore? For starters, Cerritos returns nine players from last season’s team and if Cerritos didn’t add another player, those nine would be good enough for a deeper run in the CIF-Southern Section playoffs.

“Historically, I don’t know as records are not great,” Cuthbert said of last season. “It was the fewest losses in a season but there have been more successful seasons in terms of playoffs.

The 2016 team went further in the CIF playoffs. I look at last year as a remarkably successful team based on the journey the players individually and collectively took, though I think there was disappointment amongst players and coaches alike going out in the second round.”

The Lady Dons graduated four players with the biggest loss being outside hitter Samantha Oh, whom Cuthbert said was ‘a present for a renaissance in the program that led to a league title’. He added that she certainly set the tone skill wise for the group over the last couple of years and will be missed. This season, Cuthbert says all his returning players are better and is expecting a breakout year from senior middle blocker Chi Agaranna. Senior outside hitter Nicole Blue and junior outside hitter Karina Gatewood figure to provide most of the offense while senior setter and right side hitter Emily Pasion is one to not overlook.as she was ready to go as a freshman and has not stopped since.

Cerritos brings in four varsity rookies with junior middle blocker and right side hitter Madison Agabon and sophomore middle blocker Halyne Buycks competing for a starting spot. Sophomore Leanna Tolentino is a transfer and will not be available until middle of the season.

When she becomes eligible, Cuthbert says she will see some time at just about any position except middle blocker.

Cerritos swept 16 of 17 nontournament opponents and went the distance twice, both times coming within the first four matches of the season. Could this team break the school record for most wins, or fewest losses in school history?

Time will tell.

“I think the biggest thing is we have to be playing our best at the end of the year,” Cuthbert said. “Last year, some of our best volleyball came in the middle of the season. We have to make sure that we peak at the right time. The coaches have made a couple of alterations to help that happen.”

GAHR LADY GLADIATORS

18-8 overall last season, 9-1 in the San Gabriel Valley League, coleague champions, lost to Bishop Montgomery High in three sets in the Division 4 first round playoffs 68-54 overall last five seasons Head coach: Gerryn Moran (first season) Last time missed the playoffs: 2008 Division 4 Key losses: Louisa Black (SR), Yanelli Guzman, Nneoma Izima, Olanna Olumba, Tepora Pili, Julia Stein Key returning players: Senior setter/ opposite hitter Meagan Moreno, senior outside hitter Hunter Thomas, senior setter Afioga Tone, senior middle blocker/outside hitter Mariah Uini

A

fter seven successful seasons from former head coach Iris Najera, who was nine wins shy of 100, former Bishop Montgomery High coach Gerryn Moran takes over the Lady Gladiators, hoping to keep a longstanding tradition of success and good volleyball alive. Moran, who also coached club volleyball at PowerPlay and Long Beach Mizuno, played at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas as well as the University of California, Riverside. She says she did not know anything about the Gahr program prior to taking the job.

The Lady Gladiators are coming off a banner season that saw them win the San Gabriel Valley League. Only a fiveset loss to Downey High prevented Gahr from a perfect league mark. Then the team fell to Moran’s former school in the first round of the CIF-Southern Section Division 4 playoffs. Gahr has gotten out of the first round only twice since 2005 and since 1998, has had three seasons of less than 10 wins.

Last season, the Lady Gladiators had a mixture of seniors and juniors and this season, Gahr will field a team of 11 players, six of them returning.

“I am excited about the potential I believe we have because of our undoubted talent from outside hitters Hunter Thomas and Mariah Uini,” Moran said. “As cocaptains, along with Meagan Moreno, we are fortunate enough to have leaders with fight and determination. Both girls played club volleyball in the offseason to make sure they were well-prepared for this high school season, making them each a threat on the court at all times. As their coach

AUGUST 30, 2019 for their senior year, I am truly honored to be responsible for making a lasting impression when they look back on this experience.”

Moran added that this team is full of surprises and have shown that it can come back after being down in a match. She says that this Gahr team has some of the best cohesion she has seen in a long time.

Of the newcomers to varsity, sophomore middle blockers Kiara Davis and Monserrat Rodriguez are two to keep an eye on. They played on the junior varsity team last season and their strength on the court and behind the ball contributes to a team of hitters and they provide a strong block, giving the Lady Gladiators many options in the front court, according to Moran.

The SGVL has been a talented league for several decades with Downey and Warren High as Gahr’s toughest competition and Paramount High adding some occasional troubles. If the returning players can exceed the success of last season, then Gahr should have no trouble winning a second straight league title.

“With hard, consistent work, I believe we will dominate our league this season and be a threat in CIF,” Moran said.

JOHN GLENN LADY EAGLES

6-16 overall last season, 4-6 in the 605 League, fourth place 32-82 overall last five seasons Head coach: Daniel Reyes (first season) Last time made the playoffs: 2009 Division 6 Key losses: Denise Cardenas, Mariah Chavez, Kate Ramirez, Paola Ramirez, Berenice Santana Key returning players: Senior libero Carla Bautista, senior outside hitter Daisy Moncada, senior middle blocker Ashley Sanchez, senior setter Perla Santana, junior opposite/outside hitter Karina Flores, junior setter Monica Reyes

D

aniel Reyes becomes Glenn’s sixth head coach since 2013, hoping to turn around a struggling program that has not had a winning record since 2009 and only four since 1998. It may be another tough season for the Lady Eagles did not participate throughout the summer following the departure as last season’s head coach, Mariel Turner.

“While other programs have been practicing all year long, we were beginning our practices in July,” Reyes said. “One challenge has been breaking bad habits the players have developed throughout the years. Another is working with girls who do not come from a volleyball background, some never even touching a volleyball before coming into high school. I want them to go into every match with a winning mentality and believe that they belong on the court with anyone.”

Glenn returns half a dozen players with junior opposite and outside hitter Karina Flores making the most improvement. Flores was the team’s libero last season and Reyes believes the move to a new position allows her to become an attacker, which will help give the Lady Eagles a strong option on the right side. Sisters Daisy Moncada, a senior, and freshman Kaylani Moncada,

According to Reyes, their volleyball experience growing up will allow them to make big contributions to the team.

If the Lady Eagles are to be better than the previous seasons, Reyes believes it will come from the bond the team has put together so far. He added that if the team plays to its ability, he can see it competing towards the top of the 605 League and fighting for a playoff spot.

“Each day that goes by, they become closer and are building strong chemistry,” he said. “They have bought into what we are trying to do with the program and are playing for one another.”

VALLEY CHRISTIAN LADY DEFENDERS

19-13 overall last season, 4-4 in the Olympic League, third place, lost to Xavier Prep in the Division 4 first round playoffs 92-50 overall last five seasons Head coach: Jeff Ornee (third season, 40-21) Last time missed the playoffs: 2009 Division 4 Key losses: Hailey Gonzales, Camdyn Hemmersbach, Aubrey Schwieger Key returning players: Senior opposite hitter Megan Bouma, senior libero Mia DeKraker, senior opposite hitter Candice Palmer, senior middle blocker Olivia Vande Vegte, senior middle blocker Kate Van Kampen, junior outside hitter Rachel Gonzales, junior setter Rachel Lim

f there was a time for Valley Christian High to move into the 20-win season club for the fifth time since 2012, it might be this season. Head coach Jeff Ornee already as more wins in his first two seasons than any other V.C. head coach that has lasted at least three seasons since 2000. The Lady Defenders return eight players with another two who were brought up for the playoffs.

“I thought we had a decent regular season,” Ornee said. “Our league schedule challenged us, and we definitely had some ups and downs during those matches. I felt like we were as prepared as we could be for CIF. We had a tough play in the game vs. Saddleback Valley Christian where our team showed a lot of grit and toughness in a five-set win. We then traveled out to Xavier Prep and battled our hardest in a four-set loss.”

The Lady Defenders will get a welcome return from senior opposite hitter Candice Palmer, who missed most of last season due to a knee injury.

Ornee thinks V.C. has a very talented team and enough to make a deeper run in the playoffs. V.C. has not reached the quarterfinals since 2007, which ended a streak of seven straight seasons of getting that far.

Ornee pointed out three players who have made the most improvement during the offseason, He says junior setter Rachel Lim has shown great progress in her ability to run an offense and had great coaching with her club team, Apex1. He added that junior outside hitter Rachel Gonzales looks even more dynamic and

aggressive and will be a big piece of what the team does moving forward. Finally, junior outside hitter Ashlyn Couch has become a great, consistent passer and is a good threat from the outside, according to Ornee.

The Lady Defenders have only two new players with junior middle blocker Dakota Quinlan, a transfer from Bishop Montgomery, and freshman libero/ defensive specialist Francie Leffler. Ornee says Quinlan adds size and quickness to a position that the team needs.

The Olympic League has always been one of the most competitive leagues in the Southern Section and Ornee expects his team competing for a league title, something the program has captures once since 2001.

“We have the talent,” he says. “It will just be about becoming a more consistent team and not battling through extreme ups and downs.”

or the first time since 2007, Whitney will see a new face on the bench as Alonso Ledesma, who previously coached at Tarbut V’ Torah Community Day for two seasons, replaces Ole Nervik as the school’s new head coach. Ledesma took the job in February and admits replacing someone like Nervik, who won 73 matches and had his season last season, will be hard to do and considers it a challenge.

“A challenge because I am new to the school where I did not know anything about the girls or the girls itself when I first applied,” Ledesma said. “Within the last few months, I have been doing my best to get acclimated with all the girls in the program, the athletic director, the assistant principal and the principal as well. However, I have always been up for challenges and I look forward to having a great first season here at Whitney High School.”

The Lady Wildcats lost a great hitter in Taylor Genera, but have enough firepower amongst their six returning players. Ledesma says he has been impressed with all of them because it is a team effort and all the girls have worked hard in every practice since he took over.

Senior outside hitter Skye Garcia, who is going to be a huge threat this season and has established herself as a leader on and off the court, and junior setter/opposite hitter Nika Fedorova have stepped up their game from last season.

“I am impressed with Nika because she has stepped up to the challenge of being the primary setter and is more used to being a hitter,” Ledesma said. “So far,

JOHN GLENN HIGH senior running back Edwin Udengwu is picking up where he left off last season. Udengwu, who nearly rushed for 2,000 yards in 2018, gained 219 yards on 24 carries and rushed for three touchdowns in Glenn’s 54-20 openingseason win over Savanna High last Friday night. Udengwu also caught three passes for 28 yards and added a touchdown reception. Photo by Armando Vargas, Contributing Photographer.

BY LORENKOPFF @LORENKOPFF ON TWITTER John Glenn High was founded in 1962 and no varsity football team had ever played on campus until this past Friday when the Eagles welcomed their new stadium with open arms, literally. The bruising and pounding rushing attack, led by senior running backs Robert Coates and Edwin Udengwu, was too much for visiting Savanna High to handle.

Udengwu, who barely missed 2,000 yards last season, rushed for 219 yards on 24 carries and scored three touchdowns while Coates added 111 yards on nine touches and a pair of touchdowns as the Eagles blistered the Rebels 54-20 in the season opener for both teams. In addition, Coates and Udengwu each caught a touchdown pass for good measure, bringing a huge smile to the face of Glenn head coach Vince Lobendahn, who reflected on what it was like when Glenn used to play its home games at Excelsior Stadium.

“I remember coming out with three to four parents who know they love their kids and they’re there,” said Glenn head coach Vince Lobendahn. “But it was nice to see a community that has been hurting for so long come out and get rewarded. I’m so thankful to the Norwalk community; they’ve been a wonderful family.”

The victory was not only payback for when Savanna edged the Eagles by two points last season but was exactly what the school and program needed following a season in which Glenn was denied a chance for a CIF-Southern Section Division 12 win against Nogales High in the final minute when an Udengwu touchdown was called back because of a penalty.

“It’s really been a big motivating point for us throughout the summer,” Udengwu said. “Even throughout the last game of last season, it was a hard loss. But knowing that we had this new stadium to look forward to, it was a big motivation while we were practicing. It was a big uplifting factor for the school

and for the team.

“For me it was really big because that was our win [against Nogales] and for the team, in everyone’s heart, we knew that if we had won that game, we were going on to do great things,” he continued.

“For us, it was a real ‘looking back on it’ [moment], saying we had to do better as a whole, offensively and defensively.

It was a big push for us in the weight room.”

The way the first quarter was going, it looked as if both teams were set for an offensive battle, combining for the first three touchdowns in a span of 31 seconds and the first four touchdowns in a span of 2:14. Nearly halfway through the stanza, Angel Ruiz picked off junior quarterback Matthew Huxtable and returned the pigskin 60 yards for a score. On the first play following the ensuing kickoff, Udengwu rumbled 70 yards for a score and added a two-point conversion. Then, on the next play, Shamonte Rogers raced 80 yards down the left sideline to give Savanna the lead again at 14-8.

But three plays later, Udengwu added a 72-yard run and the Eagles took the lead for good at 15-14. For added measure, Huxtable tossed a 29-yard score to Coates on the final play of the quarter and Glenn was off and running at 21-14. Just in the first 12 minutes alone, the Eagles had outgained the Rebels 200-104.

“For me, it’s all about my O-line,” Udengwu said. “They lead for me.

Without them, I don’t think there would be me. But at the same time, I’m still going to try to push. Whatever the team needs to keep winning, that’s all I’m looking forward to.”

With 7:27 remaining in the half, Coates got loose for a 73-yard touchdown run with Udengwu adding another twopoint conversion. But senior cornerback Tyrese Watson would recover a fumble on the ensuing kickoff and almost two minutes later, the Eagles increased their lead to 36-14 after a five-yard run by Udengwu.

As impressive as the offense was, rushing for 450 yards on 41 carries and

Continued from page 11 she has done a great job in taking the quarterback position as I like to call it.”

Whitney has half a dozen newcomers to varsity and Ledesma believes all of them can make an impact on the team.

He says sophomore Ysabelle Andrion has done a nice job of stepping in as the team’s libero or one of the defensive specialists and is always ready to go when her name is called upon. Look for sophomore Isabela Esteban to step up as a backup setter.

Ledesma is a defensive-minded coach and loves the fact that his teams get to pick up balls that other teams may think are kills. He says all the Lady Wildcats need is some positive feedback and play with more intensity, which he thinks they have already done.

Whitney has not advanced to the playoffs three straight seasons since doing so in the late 1990s into the early 2000s.

If it can duplicate, or exceed last season’s output and league finish, then the Lady Wildcats will head back to the postseason.

“The expectation is to be better

than we have been in previous years,” Ledesma said. “The main goal and priority is to win league this year and it will be a tough task because Cerritos took the title last year with ease as they ran through everyone. However, I think the team can step up this season and give Cerritos a challenge and earn what this team wants.”

GLENN

Continued from page 11 passing for 137 yards on 10 completions in 21 attempts, the defense was doing its part. Glenn’s defense limited the Rebels to 23 plays in the first half, seven going for negative yardage. Savanna quarterback Ivan Hernandez completed one pass in seven first half attempts for just two yards.

“Well, we’re hoping so because the long stretch of this year, seven of them non-league, three of them league and an opportunity [for the playoffs], we want to make sure our defense puts its stamp out there,” Lobendahn said of his defense holding up. “That will be helpful for

us.”

The Eagles began their first possession of the second half the same way it did in the first half-an interception. But after senior free safety Cesar Avila recovered a fumble at Savanna’s 11-yard line, Udengwu hauled in a 16-yard scoring pass from Huxtable nearly a minute later. Savanna ran eight plays in the third quarter while the Eagles tacked on a pair of fourth quarter scores with Coates scoring from a yard out on the third play of the stanza and senior halfback Erik Arias adding a 27-yard run with 1:44 remaining in the game.

The only negative in the game came in the penalty department where Glenn was called for 22 infractions totaling 158 yards. The Eagles were called for eight false starts, a delay of game penalty four times and were offsides three times.

“Every coach attempts to try and practice the small rotations that linger in a team,” Lobendahn said. “But every year, college, NFL, high school, we fail to constantly to get that out. The jump starts, the false starts…you try to yell about it but sometimes you just got to go through it and get some of the rhythm out of it.”

Lobendahn knows his team can’t repeat that if they want to improve to 2-0 tonight with a home game against El Monte High and former Norwalk High head coach Jesse Ceniceros. The Lions run the double-wing offense, something Norwalk did when the Penny brothers were running the show and are coming off a 63-7 win over Sotomayor High in which they rushed for 498 yards and had a 43-7 lead after the first quarter. Last season, the Lions scored 594 points in 13 games andxq advanced to the Division 13 semifinals where they fell to champion Adelanto High 54-40.

“It’s a lot of meat-grinding, I know,” Lobendahn said. “I have to see how many linemen it’s going to take to get through that defense. I know that’s their offense, but it’s not mine. I’ve got to try to stop it and find a way. It’s early in the year, so I don’t want to give up a bunch of injuries. So, I have to see how this is going to go.”

AUGUST 30, 2019

ERUSD from page 1 co personally threatened many administrators, who will testify if there is a hearing, with termination if they did not retaliate and falsify records against certain ERFT members.

Also included in the scheme was former Superintendent Karling Aguilera-Fort, who recently resigned and took a job at the Oxnard Unified School District.

It is unknown if Fort was helping or an unwilling partner in the scheme, but he did corroborate facts that the Group was attempting to fire certain administrators.

Fort told several ERASA and ERFT members, including Genis, that the Group told him to “get rid of” certain administrators justifying their actions by stating the terminations were due to “poor performance, the inability to move the school forward, and evaluations.”

Yet none of the administrators were subject to negative evaluations, failing test scores, or other issues and none of the terminations were backed up with the required administrator evaluations.

Former ERUSD Board President Dr. Aurora Villon told HMG-LCCN that she informed Aguilera-Fort of the abuses but he “failed to address them.”

Durfee Elementary targeted

According to the Charge, the Group first targeted Genis, who at the time was principal at Durfee Elementary.

A twenty-eight year employee, Genis did not have a single negative evaluation in his personnel file.

The Group and Fort were disturbed that teachers and parents from Durfee were speaking negatively about the Group at Board meetings, blaming Genis for organizing the protests.

Dr. Villon will testify that Fort was told by the Group to “watch Genis” and paper his file with negative evaluations, building a case to get rid of him.

Orosco followed Fort by constantly complaining to Genis about how he ran Durfee Elementary School, objecting to protected activities which included parent and teacher involvement in the school community.

Finally, the Group got what they wanted after they attempted to demote Genis from principal to the classroom; Genis reluctantly retired losing out on two years of pay and service benefits.

Rivera Elementary targeted

The Group then set their sights on David Sermeno, Principal of Rivera Elementary School.

Sermeno has been with the school district for 20 years and, similar to Genis, does not have a single negative evaluation in his personnel file.

The Group was angry that Sermeno was allowing protected activities at the school, permitting parents to use classrooms for meetings to discuss their concerns about the Board.

Fort eventually met with Sermeno and told him that those types of meetings now required Board approval and indicated that they were “watching him.”

Finally, the Group got what they wanted after they attempted to demote Sermeno from principal to the classroom he resigned in June of this year.

North Park Academy targeted

It was in August of 2017 when Lara and Orosco “urged” Rosalio Medrano to apply for the principal job at North Park Academy of the Arts.

Medrano took the job and was immediately told by Lara to “get rid of” ERFT’s Lead Negotiator Todd Zola and union member Pedro Canizales who were both teachers at North Park.

In a later conversation, Orosco echoed Lara’s statement and told Medrano to remove another teacher, Natalie Valdiviez.

According to the Charge, Zola, Canizales, and Valdiviez confirmed that they were subsequently harassed, threatened with

Medrano would later apologize to Canizales,telling him that Lara and Orosco Notice is hereby given that the City Council of the City of Cerritos, County of Los Angeles, State of California, hereby invites sealed bids for the following project: were behind the scheme.

El Rancho High targeted

One of the most egregious complaints in the Charge was alleged during former El Rancho High School Principal Hector Vasquez’ tenure.

Vasquez took the job at El Rancho in August 2017 and immediately noticed Orosco’s constant intervention on matters that were normally under the Superintendent’s purview.

Vasquez stated he felt bullied and intimidated by Orosco who would often call meetings to secure preferential treatment for a person the Charge labeled “Student A.” Multiple sources are telling HMG that Student A is Vice-President Orosco’s daughter; in a statement to HMG-LCCN, Orosco did not deny Student A was his daughter.

The Charge alleges that Orosco regularly intervened for Student A to address her academic record with Vasquez and several of the high school staff.

Sources tell HMG-LCCN that it got so bad that many of the high school teachers dreaded having Student A in their class for fear of retribution by Orosco.

Orosco even told others that he “owned” Vasquez and would go to his office demanding that Vasquez and others alter protocols, bend rules or otherwise ignore the Education Code on Student A’s behalf.

According to the Charge, at one point, Orosco ordered Vasquez to remove three members of the school’s Pepster squad because they were “mean” to Student A. Orosco also demanded that Vasquez hire a different coach for the Pepster squad.

In both cases, Vasquez, along with other ERUSD employees and unions, fought Orosco’s demands and nothing was done.

That was it for Orosco with the Board removing Vasquez in 2018.

HMG-LCCN contacted former ERASA President Sam Genis who stated, “The harassment and targeting of administrators and teachers has ingrained stress, fear and anxiety which only causes a toxic work environment. I will testify [at the hearing] to ensure that the harassment and targeting of administrators, teachers and classified employees ceases to exist in the ERUSD.” Dr. Villon told HMG-LCCN, “As the former president of the ERUSD Board of Education, a parent, an educator, and longtime resident of Pico Rivera, I am deeply concerned with the status of our district.

Our community has always placed the needs of children above all else. This focus has been disrupted by irresponsible decisions, personal vendettas, and adult power struggles that have nothing to do with the education of children or service to our community. All available research indicates that children, teachers, counselors, support staff, and administrators perform their best when they are in a nurturing, caring, and respectful environment. Sad to say, this does not seem to be the case in the ERUSD at this time.”

According to the PERB website, once the unfair practice charge is filed, a Board agent will be assigned to review and determine whether a complaint should be issued.

If, after investigating the Charge, the Board agent concludes that there are enough facts alleged that an unfair practice may have been committed, the agent will issue a Complaint with the case proceeding to an informal settlement conference.

The informal conference is an effort to settle an unfair practice complaint by mutual agreement, if a settlement cannot be reached a formal hearing is scheduled.

If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder's sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee, and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. If the sale is set aside for any reason, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the deposit paid. The Purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Mortgagor, the Mortgagee, or the Mortgagee’s Attorney. If you have previously been discharged through bankruptcy, you may have been released of personal liability for this loan in which case this letter is intended to exercise the note holder's rights against the real property only. THIS NOTICE IS SENT FOR THE PURPOSE OF COLLECTING A DEBT. THIS FIRM IS ATTEMPTING TO COLLECT A DEBT ON BEHALF OF THE HOLDER AND OWNER OF THE NOTE. ANY INFORMATION OBTAINED BY OR PROVIDED TO THIS FIRM OR THE CREDITOR WILL BE USED FOR THAT PURPOSE. As required by law, you are hereby notified that a negative credit report reflecting on your credit record may be submitted to a credit report agency if you fail to fulfill the terms of your credit obligations. 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 on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (844) 477-7869 or visit this Internet Web site www.

STOXPOSTING.com, using the file number assigned to this case 15-14947. 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.

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: 09/06/19 at 8:30AM in Dept. 2D 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.

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.

Therefore, if the 2016-17 taxes remain defaulted after June 30, 2020, the property will become Subject to the Tax Collector’s Power to Sell and eligible for sale at the County’s public auction in 2021. All other property that has defaulted taxes after June 30, 2022, will become Subject to the Tax Collector’s Power to Sell and eligible for sale at the County’s public auction in 2023. The list contains the name of the assessee and the total tax, which was due on June 30, 2017, for tax year 2016-17, opposite the parcel number. Payments to redeem tax-defaulted real property shall include all amounts for unpaid taxes and assessments, together with the additional penalties and fees as prescribed by law, or paid under an installment plan of redemption if initiated prior to the property becoming Subject to the Tax Collector’s Power to Sell.

Please direct requests for information concerning redemption of taxdefaulted property to Keith Knox, Acting Treasurer and Tax Collector, at 225 North Hill Street, Los Angeles, California 90012, 1(888) 8072111 or 1(213) 974-2111.

I certify under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct.

Executed at Los Angeles, California, on August 8, 2019.

NOTICE OF PETITION TO ADMINISTER ESTATE OF: ELVA M. VEGA CASE NO. BP165977 To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the WILL or estate, or both of ELVA M. VEGA. A PETITION FOR PROBATE has been filed by GEORGINA VEGA in the Superior Court of California, County of LOS ANGELES. THE PETITION FOR PROBATE requests that GEORGINA VEGA be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent.

THE PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act . (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: 09/23/19 at 8:30AM in Dept. 9 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.

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.
