By Jerry Bernstein dent Dr. Mary Sieu said ABC, through prudent budgeting and putting aside money in a “raining day” fund, the district has not had to layoff teachers or cut programs this year.

* means this API is calculated for a small school, defined as having between 11 and 99 valid Standardized Testing and Reporting (STAR) Program test scores included in the API. APIs based on small numbers of students are less reliable and therefore should be carefully interpreted. A- means the school scored at or above the statewide performance target of 800 in 2008. B- means this is either an LEA or an Alternative Schools Accountability Model (ASAM) school. Schools participating in the ASAM do not currently receive growth, target information, or statewide or similar schools rankings on this report in recognition of their markedly different educational missions and populations served. ASAM schools are covered under the Alternative Accountability system as required by Education Code Section 52052 and not the API accountability system. However, API information is needed to comply with the federal No Child Left Behind (NCLB) law. Growth, target, and rank information are not applicable to LEAs. C- means this is a special education school. Statewide and similar schools ranks and API growth targets are not applicable to special education schools. I- means the school has some invalid data, and the California Department of Education cannot calculate a valid similar schools rank for this school.
Cerritos sophomore Pilki Min was a dominant force as he helped the Cerritos boys tennis team to its second straight CIF-Southern Section Division IV championship. Min defeated his three opponents from Laguna Beach by scores of 6-1, 6-0 and 6-0. Photo By Kefu Wei By Loren Kopff CLAREMONT-The sounds of lightning crackling over the nearby San Gabriel Mountains, the strong rumbles of thunder and the cheers from the Cerritos boys tennis team were clearly heard this past Wednesday afternoon at the Claremont Tennis Club. The Dons went wire to wire in 2009 and capped off the school’s first undefeated season by crushing
Laguna Beach 15-3 in the California Interscholastic FederationSouthern Section Division IV finals. The top ranked team in the division, which finished 27-0, won 10 straight sets after losing the first and won seven on the singles side after going 2-7 in last year’s finals against Rowland, a 10-8 victory. “ I t ’s See Cerritos page 7

ABC School Board Vice President Celia Spitzer presented an Adult School Good Samaritan Award, in behalf of the Board, to Adult School Instructor Jennifer MacDuff, students Robert Vasquez and Richard Martinez for saving the life of fellow student David Nakamura [center] who made a surprise visit to the May 19 School Board meeting. Looking on is Adult School Principal Dr. Pao-Ling W. Guo. Photo by Bernstein ABC Adult School Class offers a class called Run, Power, and Walk held at Liberty Park. On April 30 the class was at the park doing its walking exercise. As the students completed their timed laps Ms. Mac Duff looked at the students to see if there was any type of distress. Everyone looked fine. Seconds later Dav id Nakamura walked past his teacher and collapsed. She knew immediately he had suffered a heart attack. She instantly called 911, checked his heart rate and as a trained professional with a Master’s of Science Degree in Exercise, Physiology and Gerontology she knew exactly what to do. She asked her student Richard Martinez if he could do CPR. Without hesitation he answered yes and began chest compression in concert with Ms. MacDuff who performed the breathing portion of
CPR. Another student Robert Vasquez monitored Mr. Nakamura’s vital signs. They continued this for about six minutes. A complete stranger came to them and took over.until the arrival of the Paramedics. They used a heart defibrillator to reestablish Mr. Nakamura’s heart rhythm. They told Ms. Mac Duff that she and her students saved Mr. Nakamura’s life. Mr.Nakamura had quadruple by-pass surgery and is now up and around. He said could not wait to get back to the class. Ms. Mac Duff’s students made it clear that it was their teacher’s leadership that made everything go right on April 30. Representing Lakewood Regional Medical Center, Patrick Houston presented the three of them a free medical screening at the hospital when Mr. Nakamura was taken.

The Reality About Newspapers In the past two years, the newspaper business has faced unprecedented financial challenges. The economic meltdown and advertising recession have hit our industry hard But make no mistake about this: community newspaper media-print and digital- remains strong and will emerge from the current environment an even stronger multi-platform force. Here is the reality about newspapers today: Myth: No one reads newspaper anymore. Reality:More than 104 million adults read a print newspaper every day, weekly and alternative newspaper circulation has grown steadily since 1960 to 90 million. Myth: Young people no longer read newspapers. Reality: 61 percent of 18-24 year olds and 25-34 year olds read a newspaper in

an average week and 65 percent of them read a newspaper or visited a newspaper website in the past week. If you talk about 50+, the readership skyrockets to 80 percent. Myth: Newspaper readership is tanking. Reality: Average weekday newspaper readership declined a mere 1.8 percent between 2007-2008 and about 7 percent since its peak in 2007. Community newspaper readership has been steady throughout the decline, evidence that good local community news is always welcome and well read. Myth: Many newspapers are going out of business. Reality: Newspapers as individual businesses by and large remain profitable. If you look closely at the current period, the cities where major dailies closed had two competing newspapers (Denver, San Francisco, Seattle, Chicago) the others that have closed or declared bankruptcy either took on too much debt (LA Times) or have non-newspaper personnel running the operation. Myth: Newspaper advertising does not work. Reality: Look at this newspaper, many of the advertisers you see have run in the paper for years. Look at the dailies on Sunday; 20-30 individual inserts in each paper. Google’s own research shows that 56 percent of consumers researched or purchased products they saw in a newspaper. Google also says that newspaper advertising reinforces online ads. Myth: If newspapers close you will still be able to get your news from other sources. Reality: We make a large investment in journalism, both in money and relationships. Most information you read from aggregators and other media originated from newspapers. No amount of effort from local bloggers, non-profit news entities or TV news sources could match the depth of newspaper related content. This is especially true in the community newspaper business. This is not a portrait of a dying industry. It’s illustrative of transformation. Major newspapers are reinventing themselves

Econo-My-Scene
Tid Bits Around Town By Randy Economy I have a couple things on my mind this week..... Renaming numbered streets, renaming a park for a civic legend, and a legendary college newspaper lives another year. Are Numbered Street Days Numbered? I have been thinking a lot about street names lately, and there is something I just don’t get. Before my family moved to Cerritos in 1968 we lived in Gardena on 157th Street. I went to 156th Street School, and every street around us had lots of digits. Our telephone number back then started with the letters “DA.” The personality of a neighborhood and a community can be shaped by the name of the street you live on. If you live on a street like 218th Street you think of a street without much panache or personality. 204th Street sounds like a tough place to live. 183rd and 195th and 166th here in Cerritos define our community as being “digitally divided.” We need to do better, more creative, and I think I have the solution. There are lots of streets in Pico Rivera, and Norwalk, and Artesia, and Hawaiian Gardens, and Lakewood that have streets names by numbers. Some of those streets have been in the national and local media lately for being associated with violent street gangs. What if these “numbered” streets changed their names to other “softer,” “kinder,” “happier” and “cozy” sounding places, would street gangs still want to hang out there? What bad guy would want to be in a gang from a street called “Coco Chanel Drive” or on “Pansy Place?” 208th Street could become “Happy Way” and 214th Place could be named “Serenity Road.” I personally like “Dream Street” for 211th Street. Get my drift. It’s time for the days of Numbered Streets to be well, numbered. Art Gallucci Park, or Art Park! Last week I wrote about the lifetime of accomplishments of Cerritos City Manager Art Gallucci. I hope that the community will embrace the idea of renaming Cerritos Park East in honor of Art. Art Gallucci Park would be a great tribute to the man who has been the driving force in making Southeast Los Angeles County a real jewel. I look forward to having a Member of the Cerritos City Council or the Cerritos Parks and Recreation Commission

Thanks to Good Samaritan I want to thank the person who found the contributions for the “Relay for Life” held recently at Gahr High School. I left it on the table at a restaurant I frequent regularly. Another patron found it and turned it into a restaurant employee. She kept it until I went there Monday morning. Again, I want to thank the unknown person who found it for turning it in. Remo & Myrna Ricarte Cerritos

Continued from page 1 interim officers would temporarily stay in office until the members elected new officers. Chet Schwartz, interim attorney for the Association described Pioneer Boulevard as no longer just being a north-south artery but Artesia’s Main Street. He said when its renovation is completed it will attract more shoppers to the businesses that line the street. Cerritos-Artesia Rotary President Sug Kitahara chaired the meeting. He said the purpose of the Association was to promote the member’s businesses as well as have a liaison with city government and Artesia citizens and with each other. City Councilman Victor
Manalo welcomed the new organization, commending Mayor Pro Tem Tony Lima and members of the Cerritos-Artesia Rotary Club for taking the time and doing the legwork necessary to the Association organized. “Our council wants to ensure you that the Association will have a voice on what is going on in the city. Mayor Pro Tem Tony Lima told the group a few years ago Artesia had a very strong Chamber. Since the demise of the Chamber communication between the city’s business community and the City has disappeared. He said the city would like to see this communication revived. “New businesses coming into Artesia have a difficult time getting started. “The Association can rectify that by having open houses, mixers and events where members of the business community can network and meet each other.”

set the wheels in motion to make this effort possible. Talon Marks Lives Another Year This is great news. The Talon Marks, the student produced newspaper at Cerritos College for the past 53 years, will remain in business and on the new stands for at least one more year. Cerritos College administration and the Journalism Department reached a compromise on Wednesday that will keep the class that produces the student newspaper, Journalism 105, in the class catalog for the fall semester. But beware. At least 20 students need to enroll in the class in order for the presses to keep on rolling. I use to be a former Sports Editor, Associate Editor and Executive Editor of the TM from 1979-1981. The experience was one of the most valuable I have EVER had in my lifetime. Back then, we use to have upwards of 60 people on the Talon Marks staff, and another 20 or so where shut out due to “maximum” participation. The Talon Marks is one of the most honored Community College Newspapers in both California and America, and being part of a weekly college newspaper hones your “life skills” beyond comprehension. College newspapers are still a vital source of information for the People and are the “training” grounds for future Woodward and Bernstein’s. At Cal State University Long Beach, at least four Daily or BiWeekly student publications are produced each and every week. A Free and Just Society needs the “Fourth Estate.” Thank goodness the Voice of Cerritos College will live another year. Your thoughts?

La Palma Dedicates Community Commemorative Area By Larry Caballero The La Palma City Council approved the establishment of a Community Commemorative Area along with selection criteria for recognizing and commemorating past and future volunteers who, according to the council, “ have unselfishly contributed to the City, and who have made tangible contributions by creating and enhancing a strong sense of community which transcends time.” Honorees will be remembered with an engraved paving stone noting the individual’s name and pertinent information. The City honored its first recipient, Duane Schuster, on June 2. More than 80 family members and friends attended the event at the flagpole by the Civic Center. Schuster was a former Mayor and Councilmember, President and member of the La Palma Neighborhood Watch, member of numerous service organizations and the recipient of the Cypress College Americana Award. He died last year at age 77. La Palma Community Development Director Jan Hobson said that this honor bestowed to Schuster was for “his giving of his time and for getting things done.” She thanked the family for “sharing him with us.” Mayor Mark Waldman called La Palma “a closely knit community thanks to our volunteers. Duane inspired so many of us, and we hope that this ceremony today will inspire future volunteers once they learn of his many accomplishments.” Schuster’s daughter said that her father never talked about his contributions to the city—“he just did it. He was always a part of something.” Community leaders are confident that there will be many more ceremonies to
come since “the City is blessed to have so many enthusiastic volunteers who give of their time and talents,” said La Palma City Councilmember Larry Herman.
CCPA Review Chris Botti Sends Off Cerritos Season in Style By Glen Creason You might think Chris Botti is too perfect since he is handsome, witty, extremely talented and one of the most successful Jazz artists alive. Well, some might argue about his sort of hybrid-genre jazz/pop/ classical/smooth/new age approach but the jammed hall at Cerritos certainly was in full agreement on Saturday night that his show was probably the season’s best. Botti has so much going for him that he kind of started fifty yards ahead of the pack. His band is superb, lead by pianist Billy Childs, guitarist Mark Whitfield and one of the best drummers you will ever see in Billy Kilson. He had marvelous guest stars including the dazzling violinist Lucia Micarelli and vocalist Sy Smith who not only brought great talent but a feast of feminine pulchritude to the Cerritos stage. Then again, judging from the preponderance of lovely ladies in the crowd on this night I would guess that not all of them were there to just hear the trumpeter. That is not to diminish the music which was really sweet and strong from the surprising opening notes of “Ave Maria” to the languid beauty of “One for My Baby” that eased the delighted crowd into the night. In between there were enough high-points to fill a high-lights reel and several fevered standing ovations that spoke for the opinion of the assembled about Botti’s performance. The trumpeter is no mere showman but a polished musician with skills beyond
the smooth guys he might get lumped with because of big sales. “When I Fall in Love” was at first silky-smooth and then broke off into an improvisational journey with Billy Childs taking it to lands unforeseen that made it clear that this was no noodling concert. “Caruso” did cause some romantic swoons but the tribute to Miles David in “Flamenco Sketches” was real good jazz that gave solos to Whitfield and Botti that would have stood up to any be bop snob in the house. Botti’s reading of the first of two fine Leonard Cohen compositions “Hallelujah” just changed the temperature of the blood and vocalist Sy Smith’s “the Look of Love” proved that pop does not have to be mundane. Yet the wise Mister Botti saved the wondrous violinist Lucian Micarelli for last with “Emmanuel” that put the crowd on its feet cheering at the emotion drenched conclusion. Like Chris Botti she is so accomplished with her instrument she can literally make the melody pulsate with emotion. The second half was nothing but better. After Sy Smith sang like a nightingale on “What’ll I Do,” the instrumentalist Chris Botti once again chose a Leonard Cohen song and just nailed “A Thousand Kisses Deep.” “Streets Ahead” opened the floodgates for assorted sizzling solos and got the joint jumping but the breathtaking “Cinema Paradiso” again with Lucia Micarelli was the best of the best, gaining the duet another hall-full of standees. The show jumped on to other peaks however, especially an unreal drum solo by Billy Kilson on “Indian Summer” and the final deluxe notes of Chris Botti’s salute to the saloon song singing Sinatra with “One for My Baby” that once more sent the elated crowd to one more standing O.

Friends Of Arts Education 2009 Family Arts Festival
T
Cerritos Center for the Performing Arts June 7, 2009
he Friends of Arts Education and the City of Cerritos will present the 11th Annual Family Arts Festival on Sunday, June 7, 2009 from 12:00 noon to 4:00 p.m. at the Cerritos Center for the Performing Arts. The day is a fun-filled celebration of the arts for kids of all ages, including music and dance from around the world, arts and crafts activities, a Musical Zoo, and theater and dance workshops. Last year, approximately 7,000 people from communities throughout southern California attended the Festival. The event features professional artists, school groups, and community organizations w h o perform on four stages on the grounds of the Cerri- tos Center for the Performing Arts. The Festival is open
to everyone Free of Charge! The Festival’s stages will feature a diverse mix of performances featuring music, theater and dance from around the globe. Some of the featured performances will include: classical music and ballet; traditional dance and music from Cambodia, China, Hawaii, India, Japan, Korea, Native America, and Nigeria; puppetry, storytelling, and more. Students from Whitney High School will perform excerpts from the musical “Cats,” and members of Whitney High School Contemporary Media will present a short film they produced this year about the Friends – “When You Bring the Arts Into Children’s Lives.” In
“Dancing with the Friends,” audience members are invited to join in dances from Cambodian, Native America, Hawaiia and Appalachia; and the T h e atre E x ploration Tent will host t h e renowned company L.A.
Troupe which will directly involve young people in Shakespearean fun when the kids don costumes, take up props, learn famous lines, and act out famous scenes with professional performers. In addition to the performances, children can take part in the arts and crafts activities at the Young Artist Corner and visit the Musical Zoo to try their hand at a variety of musical instruments under the expert supervision of music professionals from the Yamaha Corporation of America. The Festival will also include face painting and balloon art demonstrations. The day will culminate with a Marching Band Parade led by the Ross Middle School Marching Band and a performance by their Drumline group. The Family Arts Festival is produced by the Friends and the City of Cerritos with the generous support of corporate and business sponsors, including Los Angeles County Supervisor Don Knabe, Los Cerritos Community News, B&B Stables and the Wayne J. Shilkret Living Tribute Fund. The Festival is a celebration of culture, creativity and community for the entire family, and promises to be a fun-filled, educational and inspirational day. For further information about the Family Arts Festival and the Friends of Arts Education, visit the Friends website at www.friendsofaecc. com or call 562-467-8844.
About The Friends Founded in 1993, the Friends of Arts Education at the Cerritos Center is a nonprofit organization dedicated
to enhancing and promoting appreciation for the performing arts through education. During the 2008-2009 educational season, the Friends will serve over 40,000 students, teachers and families through a variety of programs, all free of charge. The Friends strives to ensure that children have the opportunity to experience the transformative power and beauty of the performing arts, with the belief that when you bring the arts into children’s lives, you encourage them to think creatively, to celebrate multiple perspectives, and to dream beyond their circumstances. The Friends programs includes daytime Educational Performances at the Cerritos Center for the Performing Arts, Professional Development Workshops for teachers with standards-based curriculum materi-
als, Creative Expressions classroom projects, Performing Arts Scholarships for high school seniors pursuing careers in the arts, and the annual Family Arts Festival. The Friends provides its activities to students in 29 school districts throughout Los Angeles and Orange Counties along with private and home schools. The Friends programs are designed to promote the Visual and Performing Arts Framework for California Public Schools Grades K-12. At a time when budget cutbacks are severely curtailing arts education activities in schools, the Friends serves as an essential resource for local schools, teachers and parents. Programs are continually assessed and improved through teacher surveys, school site visit evaluations, and guidance by the Friends Board of Directors, Teacher Advisory Committee, and Education Committee. As a nonprofit organization, the Friends of Arts Education at the Cerritos Center is led by a fifteen member Board of Directors comprised of business and community leaders. The organization relies on the generosity of individual donors, grants from corporations, foundations and government agencies, and fundraising events to support its
operations. To obtain additional information about the Friends and how to support its valuable programs, go to the Friends website at www.friendsofaecc. com or call 562-467-8844.

Former Stower PTA Treasurer Charged with Stealing $119,727 A former treasurer of the Stowers Elementary School PTA [Parent Teachers Association] accused of stealing $119,727 in PTA funds turned herself in at the Los Angeles County Sheriffs Station in Cerritos May 29. Counsel accompanied Alicia Phillips, 34, a mother of three, at the time of her arrest. The woman was transferred to the Lakewood Sheriff Station, charged with one count of felony grand theft by embezzlement. Bail was originally set at $150,000 but was later eliminated with Phillips released on her own recognizance. Lt. Charles Aquirre of the Cerritos Station said she now faces a preliminary hearing in Superior Court. No date for the hearing has been announced. Phillips is accused of taking the money over a three-year period from July 2005 to September 2006. She resigned from the PTA in October after board members noticed funds were missing. Following the initial investigation, she moved from Cerritos to Brea. ABC Deputy Superintendent Dr. Mary Sieu said PTA’s operate independently of the school district. However, the District worked with the PTA and its insurance company to recover about $15,000. Dr. Sieu said once the money was discovered missing and working in collaboration with the District PTA Council Board and its President Louse Dodson on how to avoid this from happening in the future. we helped the Council to provide training and install financial controls to guard against future theft,” she said, adding that more than one signature is now required before any money can be withdrawn from an account. She described the alleged theft a learning experience. “I’m glad this is coming to some closure for Stowers. It is unfortunate for the school and community,” She stated.

CIF MASTERS MEET
Artesia’s Craver, Relay Teams, Gahr’s Bradley Advance To State Preliminaries By Loren Kopff Gahr senior Aaron Bradley didn’t have to wait too long in last Friday’s California Interscholastic Federation-Southern Section Masters Meet to qualify for the state preliminaries. Neither did Artesia sophomore Jalen Craver, although both are advancing by way of different paths. Bradley, the runner-up in the Division III finals the previous week, jumped 23 feet on his second of six attempts, then passed on the remaining four and easily moved on to the state preliminaries, which will be held tonight at Buchanan High School in Clovis. Bradley’s mark was the third best in the Masters and will be the 8th best among 28 jumpers that will vie for a state championship the next day. Bradley advanced to the state finals last season where he finished in a tie for third place and picked up a medal, which goes to the top six finishers. On his first attempt, Bradley jumped 22’ 7” which was second at that time. The state qualifying mark was 22’ 8”, thus there was no need for Bradley to continue past his second attempt. As for Craver, the transfer student from Compton Centennial High, he has paved the way for what plans to be a successful track and field program at Artesia. Craver finished in fourth place in the 400 meter dash with a time of 47.29, which is also the fourth best among the 30 in that event who have advanced to the state preliminaries. “It was really to try and get better,” said Artesia head coach Aaron Craver. “His personal best was 47.53 and he beat that tonight. It wasn’t so much just to make it but make it and still keep improving because now you get to state and you’re trying to win it. You have nothing to lose. He’s a 10th grader and nobody expects him to win it.” He added that the goal for his son was not to get too excited and go out fast, then die at the end. Jalen’s time was 35 tenths of a second off the leader, Reggie Wyatt of La Sierra High. In addition, the Artesia girls 4 x 400 relay team finished in eighth place but still quailed with a time of 3:43.04, which was 18 tenths of a second faster than the cut-off qualifying mark. That time will be the 10th best in the state tonight. Shortly after the girls advanced, the boys did the same, coming in seventh place with a time of 3:19.63. That time will also be the 10th best among the boys 4 x 400 relay teams. “There have been so many people who have been really good runners that have
not made it or get eliminated right here at Masters every year because there is so much competition in Southern California,” Aaron Craver said. “So it is a dream come true for any athlete. They just want to be able to run out here on this track and then be able to say they made it to state. Now it’s about going up there and making the best of it. “I think we definitely have a bright future,” Aaron Craver added. “Some of the young kids in the community that are in our attendance area will probably say there are some positive stuff going on at Artesia. My goal for our program in the future is to keep the kids in our area who are supposed to stay in our area.” Finally, Gahr junior Shaan Johnson was trying to make it a complete sweep for area participants in the Masters but he finished in 10th place in the long jump with his best jump coming at 21’ 11 1/4” Still, Johnson has one more year to duplicate what Bradley has now done in consecutive years. “My performance tonight wasn’t the best that I’ve done,” Johnson said. “I’m a little disappointed but I still have next year.” Johnson was sitting in sixth place after the first attempt with a mark of 21’ 6” and improved that to 21’ 10 1/2” after his second attempt, still in sixth place. But his next two jumps were short of his total from the first attempt and he fouled on his last attempt. Johnson finished in third place in the divisional finals with a mark of 22’ 5 1/4", right behind Bradley. While Johnson didn’t advance to state, he will definitely be one of Bradley’s biggest supporters. “It’s great because we had two this week, we had a couple [more] last week and now we’re down to one,” Johnson said. “It’s good to have people from Gahr in the state meet, and even in the Masters Meet.”
