Candidates vie for Heights Council
By Jay Seidel La Habra Journal
The upcoming election will have five candidates running for three La Habra Heights City Council seats. The three incumbent council members, Brian Bergman, Michael Higgins and Kyle Miller, are joined by Carey Klingfus and Norman Zezula on the November 7 ballot. In an effort to know the candidates they were asked what they thought were two major issues La Habra Height’s faces and why residents should vote for them. By press time, only the three incumbent coun-
cilmembers responded. Information regarding Klingfus and Zezula was taken from their respective campaign websites.
Brian Bergman
A 68-year-old retired aircraft flight maintenance manager and incumbent council member. What are the two most important issues facing La Habra Heights? As I’ve been going door to door, the citizens are concerned about Safety - Fire, of course, and our low crime rate (mostly mailbox and house vandalism).
We expanded dead brush clearance requirements and we must enhance enforcement to an all year program. Explore restricting traffic and adding cameras for “license plate identification” at all the limited entrance points to the City. The second is infrastructure. Our City has drainage channels and 42 miles of roads that require continuous repair and maintenance. The city has limited revenue resources. It is my objective to seek input from all residents and gain community support to cover these costs. See CANDIDATES Page 4
The La Habra City Council voted 4-1 Monday to overturn a ruling by the Planning Commission and allow a development of a gas station on the south west corner of La Habra and Harbor Boulevards. The La Habra Planning Commission had previously voted to deny the conditional use permit to build the automobile service station on the corner. The commission cited that it was not in accordance with the General Plan and the Master Plan. The Council heard from the developer, Best 4 Less 76 and Galaxy Oil about the reasons why they felt the commission acted on an unfair interpretation of the plan and one that wasn't supported by fact. The Specific Plan designated the area as a Mixed Use Center-1. The General Plan, which was updated two years ago, supports the Mixed Use Center-1 designation and is focused on bringing retail and residential to the La Habra Boulevard corridor. The Commission designated the service station as a commercial service , which is not permitted in a MUC-1 designation. Council members Tom Beamish and Michael Blazey pointed out that while the service station wasn't in line with the focus of the General Plan, it was allowed in accordance with the Specific Plan. The l9,073 square foot lot has been empty since 1998 when the Mobile gas station that was on the site closed. After cleaning up the soil, the property has been able to be developed since 2013. Mayor Pro Tem Tim Shaw commented jokingly that it is a "nice patch of dirt." With the vote, the developer will now move forward with the development of the property. Mayor Rose Espinoza cast the dissenting vote to uphold the Commissions denial. The gas station will be the only service station located on the Southbound side of Harbor Boulevard from the 60 Freeway to Bastanchury Road in Fullerton.

COMMENTARY
It takes a village to support a paper Jay Seidel/La Habra Journal
Shutting down: Video Town, the video rental store that has been in La Habra for 30 years, is closing its doors for good at the end of the year. The store, which outlasted the competing Blockbuser that was located in front if it, is one of the largest remaining video store in Southern California.
Nigsarian appointed to LH Planning Commission
Daren Nigsarian was appointed once again to the La Habra Planning Commission last month. Nigsarian was appointed to fill the vacancy made when Dawn Holthouser moved out Nigsarian of the city limits. Nigsarian, who has served on the Planning Comission before, shared that he is "grateful to Mayor Espinoza and Council members Beamish and Gomez." He added that his return to the commission was very unexpected,
3
and that is probably reflects concerns on council with regard to the upcoming Westridge project. Councilman Tom Beamish expressed during the appointment meeting that it was important to find a commissioner who could "hit the ground running" because they had some important issues coming to the commission soon. "I hope I justify the faith expressed by Rose, Tom and Jim," he said. "I want to renew my profound commitment to all the people of this community. I’ll do my part on the commission to make reasonable and equitable decisions that best serve us all."
There was an article published last month about a small town newspaper in Saline, Michigan that was looking to close up shop. It was an online newspaper that covered the community…city council meetings, local school districts, local features and even the local high school sports. There was a printed newspaper, that one had stopped printing in 2014. Coverage of the town was all up to the Saline Post and the publisher who was running the operation out of his home. However, the advertising revenue wasn’t quite where 46-year-old Tran Longmoore had hoped it would be. So, he was going to stop publishing. It was at that moment when an outpouring of support came from the community. From the description, it was something similar to the final scene in the classic film “It’s a Wonderful Life” where neighbors came by to help George Bailey and the Savings and Loan in Bedford Falls. (It is an alltime favorite of mine and I catch it each year when it comes on for the holidays.) The similarities in this story and what we go through on a regular basis was amazing. Granted, he is publishing online only and advertisement for online publications is typically low. Also, Saline, Michigan has a population of just over 9,000. It’s quite a bit of a difference with the just over 66,000 population of La Habra and La Habra Heights. But the story is uncanny. He’s the publication’s full-time employee, working about 55 hours a week. He writes most of the articles, edits all of the content that comes through, and runs the web traffic
while managing the advertising. I’m lucky, I have a “team” with me. My wife handles the operations and my sister handles the advertising. So, thankfully, that 55 hoursper-week load is split up over the three of us. Good thing too, because that allows me to work my full-time job in order to provide for the family. The article states that he is often the only journalist at city council and school board meetings. That is the case with me and our coverage. Granted, I don’t make it to every city council meeting in the two cities and I don’t make it to every school board meeting, but I get to many of them and to the important ones. It was just interesting to read the story and know there are others. He has a quote in the story that I agree with. “When you’re working by yourself, you don’t know what people think,” he said. “You don’t know if they value you.” I hope that the content we provide can be of some value to you, the readers. We do our best, with what we can do, in order to keep providing this content. Sure, I’d like to do some more investigative pieces. I’d like to do some more in-depth community features, and I really would like to get the content online faster. However, as a wise person once told me, we can only do what we can do. I hope that what we do continues to provide information about our communities and that we continue to provide some kind of value. —The Editor

4 LOCAL NEWS CANDIDATES: A look at who is running From Page 1
Residents have, in the past recognized the deficiency and contributed to a Road Assessment District. Residents recognize that safety and property values are compromised if infrastructure degrades. Why should residents vote for you? I have a proven track record. My experience on the Council and Planning Commission, combined with my 20 years as an aircraft flight maintenance manager for a major airline, 29 years as a Heights resident and a naturally calm Bergman demeanor, all help me do an effective job as a councilman.
Michael Higgins
The 69-year-old former editor of Heights Life magazine and incumbant councilman. What are the two most important issues facing La Habra Heights? Number one issue right now is getting our roads and drainage repaired and maintained. The Council set-up a resident “Roads Advisory Committee” to study the PMP Pavement Management Plan and to make recommendations to the Council. The Committee will recommend funding levels and methods, as well as education of the public on the funding method. They are also tasked with reviewing and overseeing road con-
tracts, and that designated revenues are properly spent on roads. The second issue of great concern is the traffic situation in the Heights and how it is effecting our quality of life. Pass through traffic traveling on Hacienda Road has exceeded 21,000 cars a day and during rush hours has created an intolerable situation in terms of ingress and egress for our residents. Many cars are being directed through our community by phone apps to avoid congestion on the main roads, which, adds to residents' f r u s t r at i o n . The Council is going to initiate a comprehensive traffic study to address the situation, hopefully it will give the Higgins Council some effective tools to help solve some of these problems.
Why should residents vote for you? As a Councilman, I have strived to address community problems by taking into consideration resident viewpoints and the welfare of the City. I have also taken proactive action through a non-profit foundation to increase public safety by starting the Heights Watch, a neighborhood watch program throughout the Heights with over 300 members and the Life Saving Address Post program to aid emergency vehicles to find the homes of our citizens. I listen to our residents and actively look for ways to create a better safer community.
Kyle Miller
The 54-year-old executive director
and incumbent councilman.
on the LHH roads committee, as well as the LHH planning commission before having the privilege to serve on City Council. During my tenure on City Council we've balance four budgets (two with surpluses), increased resources for our fire department, grown the number of citizen advisory boards, championed transparency at City Hall and positioned our city as the 12th safest city out of 482 in California. However we must be diligent and there's important work still to do.
What are the two most important issues facing La Habra Heights? The two main issues in LHH are infrastructure (roads and cellular infrastructure) and Public Safety (Fire Protection and Emergency Preparadness) The Council has a window of opportunity, due to low materials costs, measure M funds, and payMiller ing off previous roads bonds early, to repair our roads for about a third of earlier projected costs. The time to act is now. In addition, technology is now such that we can greatly improve our cellular and wifi coverage with new infrastructure while maintaining our rural charm. We owe this to the residents. With all the recent fires in California, including only a few miles away in Anaheim, we must accelerate our Emergency Preparedness Program to be as ready as we can be and also continue to bolster our Fire Department and give them the resources they need. Why should residents vote for you? I would be honored if the LHH residents vote to reelect me because experience and results matter. I have a proven track record of volunteer and government experience in LHH. I've been a director at the La Habra Heights Improvement Association and co-founded a local non-profit to continue my volunteer efforts in the community. In addition, I've served

Tree Titans work to change the landscape La Habra Journal Staff
A group of students from Washington Middle School presented their tree passion and proposal to the La Habra City School Board last week. The Tree Titans, aka: Tannya Gallegos, Jessica Emerson, Emmanuel Ruiz, Yuko Jackson, Cyana Arce, Kendra Wise and Janelle Martinez, delivered a plea for more trees, ground cover, and a drip irrigation system around their school’s amphitheater. These self-named WMS Tree Titans, have worked with teacher Dr. Susan Pritchard, since August learning about trees, how many have been lost from the school, and why. The team was sad to learn more than 20 trees have been lost to the drought and other problems. The next steps for the team included identifying the different needs of the school and deciding where increasing the tree population would have the greatest positive impact. After much research, working with La Habra City School District grounds supervisor, Bert Cota, the team chose
the school’s amphitheater as their first project for “green transformation.” Using their Master Plan for Loving and Caring for Trees, the Titans researched the type of trees that thrive in the city as well as those that are safe for school areas. No self-pruning trees were chosen as their limbs could fall and cause injuries. The best trees for the school’s amphitheater were determined to be Crape Myrtle and Desert Museum Trees. The team developed a materials budget for completing this project. The total cost of planting drought resistant trees and ground cover with a new drip irrigation system will be $10,000. To earn that amount, the team has started their fund raising efforts by hosting a Mystical Forest Dance in September. The combined revenue from the dance and a donation by the school’s yearbook class has netted a total of $685. But the team is looking to raise more by talking to the community. The WMS Tree Titans are excited to share their passion for trees as they speak to the community about their amphitheater transformation project.
INSPIRATIONAL CORNER
5
By Dennis Laherty, the Co-Pastor of Emanuel Lutheran Church, La Habra
Recently, an installment of Inspirational Corner addressed the blessing that teenagers are in our community. Today I say, if you want to know how to live life, speak with a 90 year old. There’s something almost magical about a person who has reached their 90th year or beyond. Don’t underestimate their intellect or interest in life. By the time a person reaches that age, two things change. First, there is the amazement by many that they are alive and cognitively with it at an age they never thought they’d see. Second, their nature is not to waste words or thoughts with others unless doing so effects their life in some positive way. Each day is appreciated because at some level, it’s a surprise. It is true that a person who reaches his or her 90th year, most likely has aches and pains. But by that age, since the person has already had aches and pains for possibly 20 years, it’s no longer the topic of conversation it once was. By the time a person turns 90 they can’t remember a time when they didn’t have an ache or pain. What was talked about years before is no longer of interest to the 90 year old. At this age, television plays a large part. Understandably a person who reaches 90 isn’t as physically active as they once were. Television is a great gift for the person to remain connected to the outside world. News is watched but differently than in years past. For this person there’s really nothing that he or she hears that hasn’t been heard or experienced before. Where a person a generation younger might be concerned that a catastrophe reported on the news will be unsettling, for the 90 year old it usually isn’t. They’ve seen it before, whatever “it” is. If you have the opportunity to sit down and listen, check in with someone who is 90 or older. What you will usually find is someone who is content with life. It is someone who truly takes one day at a time. It’s a person who is thankful for being blessed with so many years. It’s a person who isn’t bothered by what happens today because they know there has always been a tomorrow. Those of us under 90 can learn a lot about living.

LHPD holds open house for community
By Jared Hardy La Habra Journal
Part of Euclid Street was closed off to traffic on Saturday, October 14 and instead hosted cones, police vehicles, people, and officers. Not because of any crime or issue, but because the annual La Habra Police Department Open House was taking place, between the La Habra Police Station and the La Habra Community Center. The event is a primary way for the community, especially the youth, to meet with the Police of their community on a positive basis. It also provides a way for the police to meet with and speak with the people that they serve and to answer questions about their work. In addition to the many branches of police represented at the event, there were other groups such as the La Habra Youth Committee and the La Habra Community Services Department.
A little touch up: Members of the La Habra Youth Committee helped with face painting and coloring for kids at the LHPD's open house event.
The event was coordinated by Sergeant Ron Hurst. “What this event does is give the public an opportunity to see the other side of the Police Department," he said. "They normally only meet officers on the street, sometimes in good conditions, sometimes not so favorable conditions, but it gives them insight into the service of the police." Hurst added that he felt that it was also good to meet young residents, first, and educate them on the police, and let them get to see the "human side of officers, beyond the badge, the uniform and the gun." Numerous activities and booths lined the parking lot of the police department, including booths dedicated to animal control, crime investigation, motorcycles, and more. Additionally, there was a large area in front of the station on the sectioned off street that was used for a demonstration of one of the department's K-9 units. Officer Travis Nelson displayed the abilities of Rita, a K-9 who can find hidden items by sniffing them out. An hour after the K-9 demonstration, motor officers Jim Geer, Tam Do, Sumner Bohee, as well as Sgt. Tigner all demonstrated their skill with motorcycle riding by weaving through tightly placed cones placed throughout the demonstration area. The motor officers answered questions in between the exercises they showcased, answering questions for the audience about the bikes and how they train. “These bikes weight 850 lbs.,” said Sgt. Tigner in response to a question,

Knowledge is power: La Habra Police Officers educated visitors during the department's annual open house on what they do and the kind of illegal items they have taken off the streets.
“They're rated at 1300cc and can go up to about 140 miles per hour.” A few times during the demonstration, one of the officers would take a turn too quickly and have their bike tip over. They used their training to move their foot out of the way and get off unharmed. “This is a common occurrence during training, it's good that officers know how to dismount in an event like this. Getting your leg caught under an 850 lb. motorcycle does not feel good.” Officer Geer explained. A guided tour of the Police Station was also provided for the attendees, with officers who discussed the various rooms and answered the questions of children and adults about the place. The booths out in the parking lot showcased the different aspects of what officers deal with. One booth in particular contained contraband articles that were confiscated from
various places, primary police operations. All the items displayed were locked down safely and all firearms were dismantled to be completely non-functional, so that guests could view and hold items and discuss with officers how they came across the illegal articles. “All the weapons were confiscated from gang members throughout the city. They were used in crimes throughout the city of La Habra," Det. Daniels explained. "The reason we're out here is because we want to educate the public on gangs as well as show them what we deal with out here on the street. We want kids to understand that gang members are not role models, not people they should want to emulate, and we want our interactions to be positive and let the kids know that police are here to help.”

Food and community come together at 25th annual Gourmet Guys fundraiser By Jared Hardy La Habra Journal
Members of the La Habra community as well as surrounding cities came to the La Habra Community Center on Sunday, October 15 for the 25th annual Gourmet Guys Fundraiser. The event takes place to raise funds for the Children's Museum at La Habra, and all proceeds from the tickets, auctions, and donations are for the museum. Food is the main draw of the event, and upon entry, guests are overwhelmed with the appetizing scents of the various foods being kept warm. The dishes are all brought in by volunteers that are part of different community organizations, such as the Lion's Club, Chamber of Commerce, and the School District, among others. What makes this event unique from other potluck style fundraisers is that, by tradition, all of the cooks who volunteer to bring a dish for the event are men (except for students). The event gives a place for men to

showcase their cooking talents and recipes, all while raising money for the Children's Museum. The event also is a friendly competition. Each food brought in is registered in one of 14 categories, and is judged before the event opens to the public by professional food judges. Some of the first prize winners were Bobby Wyse and his “Island Abelskivers” that won the bread category, John Creed and his “Bacon Street Tacos” that won for pork, and Jack Gregg's “Jack Hammered Pie” that won cakes and pies. In the student category (separate from the others), Lydia Marquez took home first prize with her “Amish Friendship Bread”. This bread is prepared over the span of 10 days, having the dough kneaded over and over again each day. “I wanted a chance to bake and be able to share it with others to make them happy,” Marquez said. Second place went to Matthew Gunderson's “Mud Pie Masterpiece” and third place was Zane Drew and Manuel Garcia's enchiladas. Another aspect to the competition of the event was that each organization had a theme to design their tables and even their food if possible. The Lion's Club won first for presentation with their theme “Men At Work” as they put up caution tape around the table and were dressed in safety vests and hard hats. The Chamber of Commerce had a circus themed table for second place. The La Habra School District won third with their themed table of Jimmy Buffett's “Margaritaville” and had appropriately named dishes such as “Come Monday, It'll Be Alright

Cupcakes” and Jeff Snyder's “Pulled Pork In Paradise”. Some of the cooks shared why they take the time to prepare food as volunteers for the event. Leon Lesa, whose “Italian Seafood” soup won first place in the seafood category. “I was asked to volunteer a few years ago and I've been doing it ever since. I love what the museum does for the kids as well,” Lesa said. Bradley Davis, who took home third place in pastas with his delectable “Not Your Momma's Meat Sauce” stated, “I had a friend mention it to me about 10 years ago, and I've been a part of it ever since. I liked the concept of showcasing the cooking skills of some of the guys in the community.”
The event was coordinated by Roy Mueller, the Executive Director and Chief Development Officer for the La Habra Children's Museum, and Lovely Qureshi, the Managing Director of the museum. “The funds raised will help fund new exhibits for the museum. We have a new STEAM lab coming in this month, and we have kids' programming that reaches out to schools," Qureshi said. "Right now we have a program called 'Little Innovators' that helps preschoolers get an early start on STEM learning.” In her address at the event, Mayor Rose Espinoza said, “The children's museum has done so much for our community in keeping kids out of trouble, it is such a good thing.”

12 Eagle defense proves too much for Heralds By Jay Seidel La Habra Journal
In what can be described as tough defense, the Heritage Christian Eagles held the Heralds to only one score in a 48-7 route Friday at home. The Eagles held Herald Quarterback Quinn Commans to 120 yards passing. Commans was 14-30 for one touchdown. He was sacked six times in the game. Whittier Christian receiver Cole Muncie scored the Herald's only touchdown on an eight-yard pass
from Commans. Commans continued to spread the ball around when he was able to get a pass off on the Eagle defense. His main targets were Noah Sanchez had six receptions, for 14 yards. Ryan Romero had three receptions for 73 yards. And Tyler Jauregui had four receptions for 25 yards The Heralds were held to 12 total rushing yards. Whittier Christian is looking to bounce back as they travel to Pasadena Friday to take on Maranatha at 7 p.m. Whittier Christian junior Ryan Romero takes a hard hit in an earlier game this season. The Herald offense was stopped by a tough Heritage Christan defense. Romero had three catches for 73 yards.

In what was to prove to be a close contest, the Heralds defeated Maranatha on the road in a in a tight five-set contest. The Heralds took the first two sets and looked for the third set to finish the Minutemen off. However, Maranatha came back with scrappy defense and won the next two sets to tie it up at up at 2 apiece. Maranatha was looking for its first league win and the Heralds, hoping to stay in the race for a play-off position knew this was a must-win
situation. The Heralds pulled out the victory, winning the match, and staying in play-off contention. Senior Conley Harris led the team with 21 kills, five aces and 28 digs. Sophomore Brea Rutledge added 18 kills and 30 digs. Junior Amanda Risch had nine kills and fellow juniors Sarina Perez and Nicole Tiffany added five and six respectively.

Highlanders blank Troy with scoring array Jason Burch La Habra Journal
For the second consecutive week La Habra staked their claim for being the team to beat in the Freeway League, routing Troy 47-0 with seven different players scoring at home Friday night. Zack Fogel opened the Highlanders homecoming game with a 70-yard keeper touchdown on the first play from scrimmage. “That was a triple option read, he has a chance to throw or run,” said head coach Frank Mazzotta. “They ran out in coverage and left that seam wide open and he took it.” Fogel then went to the air, connecting with Kalani Washington for a 44-yard touchdown to make it 13-0 with 4:35 remaining in the first.
“When the quarterback can run and he can throw, you’ve got the chance to be really effective,” Mazzotta said. Washington later added a 41-yard touchdown on the ground. The Highlanders spread the scoring around all night against the Warriors. As he did against Sunny Hills last week, Mazzotta got backup quarterback Ryan Zanelli some meaningful reps at quarterback. And once again, Zanelli shined throwing the ball. The sophomore entered the game late in the second quarter and wound up with a game-high 195 yards passing, including two touchdown passes. Zanelli’s numbers would’ve been even more eye popping, were it not for a holding flag negating a 75-yard

touchdown to Deavyn Woullard on the Highlanders first offensive play of the second half. Fogel finished the night with 316 total yards (146 - 2 TD passing, 170 - 1 TD rushing). With a commanding 33-0 lead midway through the third quarter, the Highlanders were able to have the two quarterbacks alternate series the rest of the way. Late in the third quarter Fogel improvised on a scramble left and found Ryan Michaels, who snuck behind the defense for a 35-yard score. It was Michaels’ first touchdown of the season and a redemption play of sorts for Fogel, who had just before the half tried to force a similar play, only to throw a red zone interception. “I shouldn’t have thrown [the first one],” Fogel said. “But I was really happy for [Michaels] on that play and happy with the way it turned out.”
To punctuate the scoring Zanelli tossed a quick screen to Ryan Koontz who did the rest, cutting back up the middle and racing 78 yards past the Warrior defense for his first touchdown of the season. Woullard and Fogel both concurred afterwards that Koontz might be the Highlanders fastest receiver. With his 4-yard receiving touchdown in the third quarter, Skyler Taylor kept his scoring streak intact. He is the only Highlander to score at least one touchdown in every game this season. La Habra spread the ball and playing time so much, that Taylor only carried the ball six times for 65 yards. After starting 1-2, the Highlanders (5-2, 2-0) have now won four straight. They’ll look to make it five in a row when they host the City Championship game next Friday against a much improved Sonora team that's 5-2, 1-1.
