ENTERTAINMENT AND EVENTS

A Celtic Christmas at Cerritos to the planks on stage the energy surged joyfully. The leisurely pace and perfectly mixed offerings just glowed like a good party at a rambling house in the land of the forty shades. Foley is a master-storyteller and his tale “the Christmas Parcel” was at the center of this show, unfolding from his charming gift of Irish gab over the entire two-hour show. It is a quaint but evergreen tale of a widow’s sadness parted by the largesse of neighbors in the parish of Teampall, a Ghleanntain in the West of Ireland. Even if you see the glimmering generosity and selflessness of the simple farm folk coming from the first phrases of the tale the ending will give you a lump in your throat the size of a pint of Guinness. Tomaseen does not rush it but sits on a plain lacquered stool out front and spins the story as interludes. The words draw you in but the music both stimulates and keeps you wanting to get back to the plotline. Yet, these are exceptional musicians, not just space between paragraphs. Marianne Knight is a marvel with a heavenly soprano that sounds like the great singer

By Glen Creason Billed as “a Celtic Christmas” this show could have been anything from a belted out “Buala Bas” (Jingle Bells in Gaelic) sung with a brogue to Michael Flatley influenced, arms at the sides headbanded hoofing. Thankfully it was nothing of the sort but so much more. Since many of my favorite yuletide times were experienced in an Irish household I was hoping for some of that good cheer to jump-start the holidays in the right direction. Of course there was only talk about Irish coffee to create the proper mood but it wasn’t necessary to enjoy this sweet and gentle performance of old-fashioned storytelling punctuated by excellent Celtic folk music and some spirited dance. It does take some gumption to take five people on a bare stage and create a landscape with just words and sounds but Tomaseen Foley and his talented musical accompanists filled up the entire, great hall with warmth and good cheer. The current of Christmas was achieved early and when young Marcus Donnelly put his dancing shoes

Kate Rusby and mastery over several instruments. Every tune she touched was sweet including “the Kerry Christmas Carol,” “The Wexford Carol” and “Ned of the Hill” that transfixed the hall. William Coulter solos sparingly but his skill with the acoustic guitar is superb. The folk songs of this show stood tall with the buttressing of his work and the rare solos he did perform were transcendent. Brian Bigley on Uilleann pipes, whistle and flute had to be very good to stand with Knight and Coulter but he was in perfect harmony and quality with the band. Bigley and Ms. Knight also stood up and danced in one of the show’s most delightful segments, rattling the hasps with young Marcus Donnelly in breathtaking synchronicity. Still, the star of the show is Tomaseen Foley’s ancient skill at storytelling that demonstrated the human voice telling a good story is better than any electronic in the world. The ensemble finished the cozy evening with “oiche chiuin” or “Silent Night” as we have heard it for decades but the wild appreciation from the Cerritos faithful was anything but silent.

ABC Unified School District wins Golden Bell Award

COMMUNITY NEWS GROUP • DECEMBER 10, 2010

Superintendent Dr. Gary Smuts issued a warning about school funding in the future. At the same time he said the state’s overall education achievement is pretty good. “It’s not great but it is pretty good.” He said this years state budget shortfall is $6 billion and combined with next years estimated $19 billion shortfall the budget picture in California is pretty bad.

Artesia Historical Society President, Barbara Applebury welcomed guests to the seventh annual AHS Gala and expressed appreciation for the support of those in attendance. She recalled how the group and the event have evolved from the first two years held in tents, which were very labor intensive, to the more recent held in the Community Center. Appreciation was expressed for the loan of the unveiled historic fire engine, which will greatly compliment the “Old Station #30 Fire Museum.” She recapped the history of Artesia’ firefighters, which started in 1918. Jenny Kubinski, the event chairperson then took the podium, also expressing her appreciation for the support of those in attendance. She stressed that the Artesia Historical Society has a strong history of perseverance from the time it was organized by its founder, June Larson until today.

ty women, Veronica Bloomfield, Barbara Applebury and Diane Young picked up the mantel and presented the opportunity to the Artesia City Council. Through their efforts, The Artesia Historical Society and the City of Artesia became partners in the creation of “The Artesia Historical Museum,” which opened in 2004. The Artesia City Council continued their support with the purchase of the former Chamber of Commerce building at Corby Avenue and 187th Street. They directed that the building be restored to its original state as a Fire Station. John P. Lyon was recognized for his dedication as project leader for the recent restoration of “Old Station #30 Fire Museum” which will be incorporated into the city’s Historical District campus and become part of AHS’ school tour outreach program. In conjunction with the new fire museum, special recognition was given to AHS member Fred Earl, a retired Los Angeles County Fire Fighter, for his donation of a portion of his fire fighting related toy collection, accumulated over the past 60 years. Fred and several members of his family were present. His daughter, Lou Ann Zulawski, made a special presentation to AHS of framed photos of Fred, his late wife Mary Lou, Lou Ann and her brother Steve taken through the years. The photos and a plaque will be displayed with the toy collection. Also on display was Fred’s “turnout uniform” which is on display at the County of Los Angeles Fire Museum. Fred was given a standing ovation, expressing the group’s appreciation for his support. Dr. Edward Bloomfield with assistance from Sarah Kubinski, Lucas Young and Steven Shelton conducted the Opportunity Drawing of about 25 donated gifts including dinner gift cards, theatre tickets, collectibles, a hotel stay and other venue admissions. Jenny Kubinski acted as auctioneer for several special live auction items. The Artesia Historical Society welcomes anyone with an interest in local history to membership in its organization.

Su Casa speaker discusses domestic violence at Cerritos Optimist Club

Guest speaker at recent breakfast meeting of the Cerritos Optimist Club [l-r] Su Casa Executive Director Vicki Doolittle with Club President Jamie Hamilton. Su Casa celebrated its 31st anniversary in October. The organization provides services to families afflicted by domestic violence which has been described as on of the great tragedies of American Society and weakens economy by incurring a loss of eight million days of work each year due to abuse. This is equivalent of more than 32,000 full time jobs and is and nearly 5.6 million days of household production. She said there is a correlation between poverty and violations. She said Su Casa operates an emergency shelter in which 2/3 of those taking refuge are children. Many of the victims of violence have no place to go and we are keeping them longer. The Cerritos Optimist Club meets the first, second and four Thursdays at 7 a.m. and the third Thursday at 7 p.m. at the Off Street CafĂŠ across from Gahr High School.

Since then teachers and students from both districts have visited each other. The City has provided all costs related to the visits to Kakamigahara.

observed. Students and teachers relived their visits to Kakamigahara. Superintendent Dr. Gary Smuts, Deputy Superintendent Dr. Mary Seiu, School Board President Celia Spitzer and three principals recently returned from Kakamigahara, having been invited by the city’s mayor, Shin Mori, to visit Kakamigahara as part of the 10th anniversary of the partnership at the city’s expense.

Looking to the Future

Deputy Superintendent Dr. Mary Sieu said that ABC’s 21st century students and staff must become international minded in order to be better prepared for the future. “Learning a world language and increasing our world understanding has been part of our district’s fabric for many years.” She said ABC has been in the forefront of promoting international programs with “our” Pacific Rim Countries for more than 15 years. The District has sister school agreements with Taiwan, Japan, and the People’s Republic of China, providing opportunities for ABC students, teachers, administrators, board members and parents to learn about life outside our classrooms, homes and borders. She said more than 150 ABC students since 2001 have participated in the 11 day Japanese High School Program in Japan, with the students staying with a host family. In addition approximately 300 middle school students has visited Japan in the same time period. She said the three-day program in October affords the opportunity for Japanese students to visit ABC middle schools and also stay

with host families. Since 2002 under the Japanese Summer Teacher Training Program, ABC has sent two teachers to train Japanese ESL teachers in the city of Kakamigahara during the summer. “They have trained move than 200 teachers on various strategies to use in teaching English as a second language to students in Japan. In 2004 and 2005 the Adult School provided a Senior Adults Program for more than 50 Japanese senior adults from Kakamigahara. They participated in ESL classes at the Adult School as well as provided cultural lessons for various elementary District schools. Another program is the ABC Jazz Band that in the fall of 2005 performed at several venues in the City of Kakamigahara under the Direction f Music Director Alan Hallback. All the visits and programs in Japan have been sponsored by the City of Kakamigahara. No District funds were used.

Programs Described

Gahr/Artesia High School Japanese teacher Kim Suzuki described the program as broadening her students horizons. She said there was only so much she can teach in the classroom, but the exchange program has allowed the students to go to Japan and experience what we have learned in the classroom. “It really has broadened their horizon,” she said. “Whey they come back they are a changed person. They are more tolerant to different individuals, open to new ideas and see things from a different angle. They have also forged new friendships across borders and cultures helping them grow as a person.” Juan Cortez, a former student at Gahr High School participated in the 2007 program He related how the program benefited him. He said, “We like to think through globalization the world is slowly becoming one culture. But it is not. If you visit Japan you will notice there is an extreme difference between American Culture and Japanese culture.” He said anyone could go to Google and bring up pictures of Japan. but a truly experience in Japan is a totally different thing. Cortez noted that in America, the culture is very individualistic, me myself and I. “In Japan I noticed anyone helps everyone. He said their schools are a good example. The schools are very clean. Nothing on the floor. Everything goes [See EXCHANGE Page 15]

Cerritos Sheriff’s Station

Weekly crime summary November 29 to December 5, 2010 There were twenty-six Part I felony investigations conducted by Cerritos Sheriff’s Station deputies last week, up from seventeen the previous one. Commercial and vehicle burglaries increased, residential burglaries remained the same, and robberies and vehicle thefts declined. 271 calls for service were handled by patrol personnel, up from 263 the week before. The current 2010 weekly average in calls for service is now 297. GREAT NEWS! There were no robberies reported last week. Two residential burglaries were again investigated last week. Two kitchen windows were left unlocked and resulted in the loss of watches, TVs, laptop computers, and guitars. The current 2010 weekly average in residential burglaries is 2.9. Good neighbors look out for one another. If you see anything suspicious, don’t hesitate to call the Cerritos Sheriff’s Station at once. It is always better to find out that there is a legitimate reason for activity than not to call and have a neighbor victimized. There were four commercial burglaries reported last week. Front door windows were shattered on three adjacent businesses where cash was stolen. A storage room was breached at an apartment complex, but no loss could be determined. The 2010 weekly average in commercial burglaries is 2.3. Vehicle burglaries increased from one to nine last week. Seven of the crimes occurred in high-volume commercial parking lots. Six involved

SUVs, and two were trailers. One stereo and one GPS unit were taken along with purses, laptop computers, wallets, checkbooks, and miscellaneous papers. The 2010 weekly average in vehicle burglaries is now 6.7. Leaving ANY property in the passenger compartment of your vehicle is a gamble. Vehicle thefts dropped from six to four last week. High-volume commercial parking lots were the venue in all four. Three motorcycles and an SUV were stolen. The 2010 weekly average in vehicle thefts is 4.6. If you own an expensive SUV, make sure that you use as many means to protect it as possible. These are commonly stolen for wheels, third row seats, and DVD units.

Penny rushed for 2,125 yards and scored 23 touchdowns. He had seven multiple touchdown games including six against John Glenn. It was the second time in his career he had scored six touchdowns in a game. Penny leaves Norwalk as probably the school’s alltime leading rusher with 3,719 yards with 46 touchdowns. Defensive Player of the Year: Despite Norwalk’s defense allowing over 22 points a game, mostly because of a tougher schedule, senior defensive back Aaron Sanchez was the leader of that group. He combined for 79 tackles and three interceptions and clearly distanced himself from the rest of the Norwalk defense with at least 20 more tackles than the next teammate. Coach of the Year: Although the Cerritos Dons barely missed the playoffs, head coach Chad Reed has started to turn the program around. The Dons played for a playoff spot in their last game of the season and finished with a 3-7 record, the best mark since 2006. Cerritos had more league victories since 2003, posted its first shutout since 2004, snapped a 15-game non-Suburban League losing streak and stopped a 14game home losing streak.

Crawford, who was virtually a one-person show for Artesia in the 2009 season, led the Pioneers with 551 kills, which accounted for 61 percent of the teams’ points in that category. She also led the team with 116 blocks and 493 digs. Fellow Suburban League counterpart Jessica Wu helped Cerritos win its second straight league crown with her performance. The senior outside hitter posted 129 kills for the Lady Dons, tops on the team, and was second on the team with 128 digs. Wu was also the leader in aces with 30. Coach of the Year: In just his third season, Micah Burpo transformed Artesia from a laughing stock to a playoff participant. The Pioneers went 10-14, finished fourth in the Suburban League and advanced to the playoffs for the first time since 1996. Of the 10 victories, six were sweeps. Before this season, the Pioneers had combined for 12 wins since 2006 and the fourth place finish was the best since 2001.

Gahr dominates Cerritos in all areas in “other” football game By Loren Kopff Recently, Gahr has owned Cerritos on the football field every September but now, the Gladiators are beginning to duplicate the same trend in boys soccer. This past Tuesday, Gahr scored three times in the first 19 minutes and rolled to a 5-1 victory over the visiting Dons. The Gladiators have not lost to the Dons since 2005, going 4-0-2 in the past six meetings (they didn’t play in 2006) but Cerritos still owns a 6-5-2 advantage since 1997. During the recent Gahr streak, it has outscored Cerritos 22-6. Both teams were coming off opposite results just 24 hours earlier as Gahr was on the short end of a 2-0 decision to [See SOCCER Page 15]

YOUR HOME Weighing the costs of walking away from an upside-down mortgage

Owing more on your mortgage than your house is worth may seem like a bad investment. But the alternative - choosing to default on your mortgage even if you can afford the monthly payments will take a significant toll on your credit rating. "Strategically defaulting - deciding to stop paying your mortgage regardless of your ability to actually carry the debt - will have a far-reaching, long-lasting impact on your ability to secure future credit," says Maxine Sweet, vice president of public education for global information services company Experian, one of the three large credit reporting companies that receive and update consumer credit histories which are scored to help predict risk. "It's by no means a move to be undertaken lightly." About 355,000 borrowers strategically defaulted in the first half of 2009, according to research conducted as part of the Experian-Oliver Wyman Market Intelligence Reports. Interestingly, Experian and Oliver Wyman found that the homeowners most likely to strategically default were also those with the highest credit scores. While it may seem like a good move to simply stop paying and walk away from a bad investment, keep several factors in mind when you consider strategic

abstained. Later on the agenda, City staff had recommended the authorization for Mayor Rodriguez and newly elected Councilmember Steve Hwangbo to attend the League of California Cities 2011 New Mayors and Councilmembers Academy, Jan. 19-21 in Sacramento. Although adequate funds had been budgeted in the city council meetings and training account in the 2010-11 Budget, Charoen voiced opposition to Rodriguez attending the Conference. “You are experienced enough,” said Charoen. “You could be teaching the session.” Rodriguez reminded Charoen that he serves on a state transportation committee that meets at the same time and location as the Conference, and it

default: * It's very final. Strategic default will lead to foreclosure by the lender. Foreclosure will negatively impact your credit report and scores. In fact, only bankruptcy will affect your scores more adversely than foreclosure. For more information on just how severe the impact can be, VantageScore LLC recently completed a study that evaluates the effect that foreclosures,

bankruptcies, short sales, and various mortgage programs have on consumers' VantageScore credit scores. * The default will remain on your credit report for seven years. Since credit scores are based on information in your credit report, the foreclosure will greatly impact your credit scores during those seven years. Securing other credit at reasonable terms and rates will be very difficult, if not impossible, during that time.

* Potential lenders aren't the only ones looking at credit reports these days. Insurers, employers and even cell phone companies are considering the creditworthiness of those who want to do business with them. By impacting your credit report, a strategic default may affect your ability to get a job, secure insurance and enter into important service contracts. * Fannie Mae, the government-controlled mortgage giant, announced on June 23 policy changes that will make you ineligible for a new Fannie-Maebacked mortgage if you walk away from a current mortgage that you actually could afford to pay. The ineligibility will last for seven years from the date of foreclosure. * Finally, in some cases, the debt that foreclosure "erases" may be recorded as income, which means you will have to pay taxes on it. "Strategic default may seem like 'walking away' from a bad debt, but it's really anything but," Sweet says. "While you will no longer have to pay the actual debt, you'll almost certainly 'pay' in other ways, in the form of lowered credit scores and a drastically curtailed ability to secure future credit for the next seven years. Higher interest rates and unfavorable terms could end up costing you more in the long run than continuing to pay on an upside-down mortgage."

City Manager Dominic Lazzaretto was unable to attend. “And if you think I am so experienced, then why did you not vote for me to be Mayor?” said Rodriguez. Charoen did not respond. The vote was 4-1 to allow Rodriguez and Hwangbo to attend the Conference. It was a bitter sweet moment for termed-out La Palma Councilmember and former Mayor Larry Herman to just walk away after serving four terms--longer than any other councilmember in the City’s history--but he was happy that his friend Steve Hwangbo will be taking his seat on Council. “The last eight years in particular have been an interesting journey for me,” said Herman, who didn’t always agree with three of his colleagues on Council, “and I want my friend Steve Hwangbo to remember that there is a lot of knowledge

staff would continue with transparency and accountability in the future, and he made it clear that he wasn’t going away. He plans to continue to volunteer in the City. Hwangbo is ready to serve. “I know how special our city is, and I am looking forward to representing our wonderful city and working hard to make La Palma an even better place.” Both officials were not as happy during the recent election when allegations of campaign irregularities ran rampant as opponents of Hwangbo were accused by community leaders of stealing his yard signs and delivering a falsely translated letter to English speaking residents that implied that he would only serve the Korean residents of La Palma. At the time Herman said, “It appears that racism is alive and well in La Palma.”

that learned to appreciate their mindset. Ofie Chancowhose daughter participated in the program and is now in college. She said she was the Philippine parent of four Whitney girls. In the

eighth grade her daughter chose to learn Japanese as opposed to Spanish like her sisters did. One day she said her teacher asked if we could host a visiting Japanese student during her stay here. “I said yes, I had four girls, one more wouldn’t matter.” She said she believed her daughter thought if the student lived with us for a few days, she could go to Japan. She did in her sophomore year at Whitney. When she came home she said, “Mom, I think I want to live in Japan.” Her plan was to go to college in Japan, but her counselor told her to go there for one year, come back here and finish her schooling so she would bring something new to the country. When she graduated Whitney she was given a special staff scholarship from the Foreign Language Department in the class of 2010. “What I’m saying is the Japanese influence changed her personality. She has discipline. She always said she was m pushover child, but I told her she was my most obedient child. I believe she got that from her visit to Japan.

defending Suburban League champion Norwalk while Cerritos had posted its first win of the season, 3-1, against La Quinta. “I think our players were looking to respond to the defeat yesterday,” said Gahr head coach Jim Keating. “You can only play the opponent in front of you. Who was in front of us today? It was Cerritos.” “In my opinion, the team yesterday was way stronger than it was in today’s game,” said Cerritos head coach Luis Paulo Oliveira. “Besides the fact that we have the fight, the tradition, our number one enemy, I think [Gahr] showed up to play and we didn’t show up to play for some reason.” In the 10th minute, Gahr senior forward Edwin Colindres was on the receiving end of a long throw-in from senior defender Erick Lojan and headed in the first goal of the game. One minute later, junior midfielder Charles Gracien scored the first of his two goals from the right side of the penalty box. Then in the 19th minute, a header from senior midfielder Carlos Rincon made it 3-0. The Dons (1-4-0) avoided the shutout nine minutes before halftime when

senior forward Andrew Atilano scored off a corner kick. It was the second of two shots on goal for Cerritos in the entire game. Offensively, the Dons weren’t able to create any opportunities. “Unfortunately for us at Cerritos high school, they wait until the [Suburban] League season comes to start working, to start putting more effort, to start coming to practice on a consistent basis,” Oliveira said. “As the season progresses, I’m hoping we will be able to achieve in some of the goals we have defensively, offensively and as a team.” In the 37th minute, Gahr (1-1-1) had a chance for a fourth goal but a free kick from senior defender Carlos Garcia hit the crossbar. Still, the Gladiators were able to control the game better because Keating was playing virtually everyone on the roster. The last two goals were from senior forward Wasiem Rabie a minute into the second half and from senior midfielder Daniel Mayarol in the 71st minute. Gahr took 22 shots on goal in the game. Both soccer programs are hoping for better success this season as they have recently struggled mightily. After reaching the playoffs in three straight seasons, the Gladiators have gone 19-42-14 overall and 8-25-7 in the San Gabriel Valley League in the past four seasons. “Last year, getting a very late start to the season, the players weren’t fit and they weren’t prepared for the season,”

“Quality Service at Affordable Rates!”

Keating said. “This season, we’re better prepared. I think in some ways, programs have a culture about them; a mentality about them. I think for a while, the mentality of the program has been lackadaisical and apathetic. Iron sharpens iron, winning breeds winning and losing breeds losing. Now, it’s a chance to turn the program around to [the point] where we’re not going to accept mediocrity anymore.” Gahr will host Whitney on Tuesday and even if the team doesn’t win a league title this season or advances to the playoffs, Keating is very pleased with the prospects of a competitive group in the near future. “This program is very much a rebuilding program,” Keating said. “It is a very young squad with a big group of 10th graders coming through both the junior varsity and varsity teams. I don’t think we’re really going to see the full potential to this squad for about two more years.” At Cerritos, it’s even worse with the Dons going 10-63-11 overall and 3-44-1 in league during the same four-year span entering this season. Cerritos will host Valley Christian today and visit Rancho Alamitos on Monday. “I have 12 seniors right now who look like they are juniors or sophomores,” Oliveira said. “This is the year they need to step up.”

2010-2011 BOYS BASKETBALL PREVIEW Norwalk to challenge Mayfair for Suburban League’s top spot

NORWALK LANCERS 16-13 overall last season, 8-4 in the Suburban League, tied for second place, lost to Mark Keppel 63-54 in the Division II-A second round. Head coach: Jim Webster (ninth season, 74-136) Team’s record past five seasons: 54-79 STARTERS LOST Anthony Holliday (18.0) Jeffrey Montoya (4.4) STARTERS RETURNING Sr. Manuel Castaneda (11.0) Sr. Cammie Lewis (7.9) Jr. Terence Traylor (5.0) OTHERS RETURNING Sr. Kendrick Horn Sr. Eric McElroy Back to back seasons of double digit victories have suddenly made Norwalk a serious contender for one of the top spots in the league after many seasons sitting at the bottom. Now, the Lancers move on minus Anthony Holliday,

arguably one of the best players, if not the best player to have ever played at Norwalk. The good news for head coach Jim Webster is that he still has a tremendous amount of experience with three returning starters. “It’s always hard to know what to expect,” Webster said. “You expect to compete and play well. We obviously had one of our best teams since I’ve been here and to meet those expectations and a little beyond…was great. It definitely was exciting.” Holliday’s tag team partner last season, senior Manual Castaneda, returns as the team’s top player. Not only is he valuable on the boards, but like Holliday, he can light it up from the outside. Castaneda can be expected

to average five to seven more points a game from last season. Senior Cammie Lewis and junior Terence Traylor give the Lancers a solid trio that should help put pressure on defending league champion Mayfair. “We definitely have plenty of experience in those three positions,” Webster said. “Hopefully we’ll have enough scoring as well with them being three-year varsity guys. We’re definitely trying to manipulate the offense where we get the good looks for them and then spread it out too.” Last season, the starters combined for 87 percent of the team’s scoring. The Lancers got just 197 points from their non-starters. This season, Castaneda, Lewis and Traylor will need to get more help from the rest of the team. Webster has tabbed junior Angel Arevalo and sophomore Michael Rocha as the top two newcomers and both of them are guards. Also on the team will be seniors Angel Montero, Vince Olvera and Gilbert Peregrina and juniors Andrew Gutierrez, Armando Holquin and Ondre Rissling. “We’re always going to need to replenish and rebuild and the good thing we’ve done this year is most of our new guys are juniors,” Webster said. “So, they won’t be one year varsity guys. That’s what we’re trying to get into.” Webster believes the league will once again be wide open as it was last season, although it will be a little bit tougher.

season, 74-41) Team’s record past five seasons: 80-61 STARTERS LOST Chris Hunt (15.4) Aaron Padilla (6.6) Dean Pollema (10.4) STARTERS RETURNING Sr. Connor Tien Jr. Anthony Roldan (5.2) OTHERS RETURNING Sr. Joshua Castanos Sr. Jeff Hing Sr. Trevor Rodriguez Jr. Cole Clark (3.3) If head coach Bryan Branderhorst didn’t have to deal with the brutal Olympic League last season, his team would have done just fine. But the Crusaders just couldn’t muster enough power to keep up with the likes of Division V-AA finalist Windward among others. Now, the Crusaders will say hello to some new league teams in hopes of giving Branderhorst his third winning season at V.C. “It was a tough year,” Branderhorst said. “We started the season off pretty well but that old Olympic League was a tough league. There was a lot of good, big time talent in that league. Heading into last year, we didn’t have a whole lot of experience. All of our guards were brand new. But we’re looking forward to this season. We have a lot of guys coming back, especially in the backcourt. That’s going to hold us steady.” While the Crusaders lose their top two scorers from last season, the team returns half a dozen players who not only have a lot of varsity experience, but have improved in their own ways. Branderhorst said that senior Trevor Rodriguez developed an offensive game during the summer and will be more of a threat. Senior Joshua Castanos is more of a total package as far as his defense and rebounding is concerned. Senior Jeff Hing is emerging as a leader on the floor, senior Connor Tien is a much better finisher and scorer while junior Anthony Roldan is the most versatile scorer on the team and junior Cole Clark has improved his perimeter shooting. “Those six guys are battle tested now,” Branderhorst said. “They took some lumps last year and I think it’s going to be good for them. I think it makes them hungry; it made them work hard in the offseason. It gave them some things to shoot for and to improve on.” Seniors James Griffin and Lionel Hendrick, juniors Nate Padilla, Jordan Rhodes and Lewayne Wright and sophomore Caleb Miller are new to the varsity squad. Of those, Branderhorst said Griffin will be an instant impact and is ‘ready to compete for some serious minutes’. “I assume we’re going to be fairly balanced,” Branderhorst said. “Hopefully we’ll score a lot of points off our defense. As far as our offense goes, we’re not going to look to just jam it into one guy. We’re going to run an equal opportunity motion offense and try to stay balanced.” In addition to Windward leaving the Olympic League, Brentwood, Campbell Hall, Crossroads and Montclair Prep depart. The Crusaders will now face Los Angeles Baptist, Maranatha, Village Christian and Whittier Christian in league. All four of those teams were in the Alpha League and none of them got past the second round in the playoffs. “I don’t think anybody around here is more excited about our new Olympic League than me,” Branderhorst said. “I think the competition is going to be evenly matched. I honestly couldn’t tell you who I think is favored to win our league. On paper, probably Whittier Christian is favored because they bring back a lot of starters.”

The time for filing claims will not expire before four months from the hearing date noticed above. YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court.
