Ted Stolze. Cerritos College Faculty Federation President “I am impressed with Dr. Liu for her expertise in teaching Distance Learners on-line. The college has had to turn away over 3,000 students so far— perhaps on-line courses can be a viable option to meet student and community needs.”
Carol Chen, Cerritos City Council Member “Dr. Liu can help parents understand that community college is an option, and she can be a good bridge between the parents and the college.”
Laura Lee, Cerritos City Council Member “She is truly dedicated to her students and cares about their future.”
Sophia Tse, ABC School Board Member “As a fellow educator, I know how important it is to have someone on the Cerritos College Board who understands educational and technology issues. I know Dr. Shin Liu will do a great job.”

Seeing Through Blind Eyes On Oct. 10 Whitney high School Key Club Secretary Yuni Kay, director of Fundraising Crystal Valino and Club Advisor Ms. Jenson attended Blind Start of America’s premiere event entitled “Dinner in the Dark” at the Sheraton Cerritos Hotel. Blind Start of America [BSA] is a non-profit charitable organization founded by Whitney Alumni Brian C. Tom, whose mission is to aid blind and visually impaired people by teaching them job skills in order for them to live productive and independent lives. Founder and President Brian Tom became blind at the age 21 at the peak of his studies at UCLA, due to an eye disease known as Glaucoma. Since 1992, he has been serving to empower others in similar situations through Blind Start with “Awareness, Education, and Independence.” The involvement of the Cerritos Community was spectacular. Beforehand, there were taste and smell stations for guests to get a hint of what it is like to be Blind. To be in solitary darkness and reliant on one’s other senses. The Braille Institute staff informed the guests about their services as well as demonstrated their names in Braille. Whitney Mother and Community Relations Manager of Blind Start, Ofie Chanco, gave a heartfelt speech to the honoree and scholarship recipients whom have been influential leaders both in the Blind community and internationally. Other activities and entertainment included vocal performances by Marleena Coulston and the International Peace Choir as well as a Center Piece Drawing Game and Live Auction. Although the experience of eating dinner blindfolded was frightening, Key Club representatives were reminded to appreciate their sense of sight for it is a precious gift. Inspired by Dinner in the Dark, Key Club plans to host a Blindfolded Meal at its New Student Orientations on Oct. 23. We hope to see you there! Also, Key Club looks forward to participating in future Blind Start of America events in an effort to continue spreading awareness and aiding the Blind, because “Independence is in Sight.” Crystal Valino, 12th grade, Whitney High School

seen gross discolorations “bleed through” the enamel of the tooth as a result of these developments impairing our smiles. These adverse changes have prompted dentists to question why they include amalgam fillings in their services. Well, good news! In the last 20 years many of my fellow dentists and I have been dropping amalgam from our offices. Composites have taken over as the “goto” filling material. They are a little more demanding and require a very controlled delivery process. Also, they take a little longer to finish, however, they are bonded to the tooth, do not swell, and look like your tooth. They are proven materials and wear at about the same rate as silver-mercury fillings. There is no mercury present to be a health concern. Should all your amalgam fillings be replaced? Eventually, most all fillings materials will fail and need replacement. If the current controversy over the silvermercury filling concerns you, I suggest that you consider the composite filling at replacement time For answers to your dental questions, contact Douglas Urban, D.D.S.

Remembering Those You Love The holidays are fast approaching and Pathways Volunteer Hospice would like to invite you to take a moment to remember and honor those you love at one of their annual Light Up A Life tree lighting ceremonies. “Light Up A Life” is a signature program traditionally promoted by hospices across the United States. The tree lighting ceremony is an opportunity to remember and honor those we love and those who have passed on. Each shining light on the holiday tree represents a friend or loved one being honored or memorialized. A donation of $20 provides one light on the tree and the name of the person being honored or memorialized is listed on the “Light Up A Life” scrolls displayed by the tree. This year, Pathways’ “Light Up A Life” holiday trees will be displayed in the Los Cerritos, Lakewood Center and Stonewood Center Malls. The ceremonies will be held Monday, Dec. 7, 7:00 p.m. at the Centre at Sycamore Plaza in Lake-

the first four songs but those really were the warm up tunes for what was to come. Truthfully, “Hazy Shade…” is one of the rare covers that surpasses the original and Manic Monday being written by Prince makes it fascinating just on that origin. The three “boys” in the band on bass, keyboards and utility percussion were very good too but names got lost in that aforementioned wall of sound. In a way, the show was divided in three parts with the signatures in the beginning; some nice pop hooks in the middle and a rip-roaring ride to the finish. That middle part featured the joyful pop of Jules Shear’s “If She Knew What She Wants,” and old Big Star gem “September Gurls” and the energetic “Going Down to Liverpool” that showed the band at its best. “Single by Choice” demonstrated some of the punk sensibility of the sassy ladies who are now coupled up by the way but “Doll Revolution” and “Watching the Sky” kept up the good stuff. A final gallop to the finish increased the pace and length of songs starting with an undulating and sensual “Ride the Ride” spiced by Vicki Peterson’s fine guitar leads that continued in the equally engaging “Hero Takes a Fall” that had the X-ers stirring. Finally, “Walk Like an Egyptian” got the crowd to its feet and moving to the groove as it moved toward “Magic Bus” and into encores saluting the great Skye Sunlight Saxon. Properly stirred the big crowd begged for more, hopefully sending a message about bringing the Bangles back this way some season soon.
As the world turns. A pretty sizeable crowd of Generation Xers initially moved ever so slightly at the Cerritos Center on Friday night as the Bangles, once the darlings of a hard to define 80’s musical phenomenon romped through ninety very solid minutes of rocking pop-punk or folk-punk or Paisley Underground. All such descriptions from what they used to be called when they rejected the “me generation” by playing feisty and fresh rock and roll that stands up pretty well in this brave new world. Strange to see the youngsters getting all nostalgic and waxing philosophical about “back in the day of the twentieth century” but these Bangles play great and have plenty of sizzle left in their mini-skirted stage presence. The nucleus is the original trio of Susanna Hoff on rhythm guitar along with sisters Vicki and Debbi Peterson on lead guitar and drums with all three ladies singing through a pretty big wall of sound. This is just straight up pop music with a strong beat and simple lyrics that talk about romance like it is a prize fight and disillusionment that means a little more this far down the road. They played straight through with no break and built up some momentum that increased the t e m p e r a t u r e s inside to match the outdoor oven on this night.

Students and Parents Praise Cerritos College Board Candidate Liu at Fundraising Reception By Larry Caballero
Cerritos College students Zachary Brambila and Ruben Miramontez were not so sure that community college was right for them until they met their computer technology teacher Dr. Shin Liu. She made the difference. Now, in front of about 100 guests who attended a reception for her at the Quest Learning Center in Artesia Oct. 11, they are confident that their futures will be bright because of the passion Liu has for education and the time she took to work with them. “Trust me, the course content is very difficult, but Dr. Liu takes us through it to make sure that we not only complete something, but understand it as well,” says Miramontez. “My passion is to prepare my students for the 21st century,” says Liu. The parents agree. Both Sarah Brambila and Susan Miramontez praised Liu for making a difference in their sons’ lives. “I’m
happy with the success my son has had at community college. My son has a lot more confidence now, and I thank Dr. Liu for that,” says Brambila. Miramontez praised Liu for motivating her son to succeed and for preparing him to travel to Boston for the world-wide Imagine Cup contest, a computer technology competition sponsored by Microsoft, that included students from four-year universities such as Harvard and Oxford. “She provides a hands-on approach for their learning which enthusiastically motivates her students.” Martin Schray, U.S. Director of the Academic Developer Evangelism program at Microsoft, congratulated Liu. “Students under the mentorship of Professor Shin Liu performed exceptionally well considering that they are freshmen and sophomores competing with top student talent from across the United States.” Dr. Liu was also invited in 2008 to present her research at the Oxford Round Table, a non-profit group that meets at Oxford University in England to consider public policy issues bearing on education in the United States, the United Kingdom, and other selected countries. Rio Hondo College Superintendent Ted Martinez described Liu as an “exemplary faculty member, and I am pleased and proud that she was able to share both her personal expertise and research, but also share our programs at Oxford.” Liu has the support of local elected school board members and city officials who unanimously agree that a change is needed on the Cerritos College Board, and they’re hoping that this will be the year that it happens. “Community colleges were intended to be a bridge from high school to the university. They were and still are a jewel that makes California different from other states. They are affordable and accessible to all students. Not all teenagers are ready to move away from home to attend college; not all working students can go straight to a university; and not all students who are uncertain of their majors can afford to explore various fields of study at the university,” stated Dr. Liu. “I want to train my students in current technology so they will be ready for today’s job market. I want all of my students to succeed, and I am willing to work as hard as I can to make that happen for them.”

Q. A.
Call (714) 523-4327 I was told that I have nerve deafness and that hearing aids would not help me. Is this true?
Many people have been told this over the years, but it is not necessarily true. The majority of people who have “nerve deafness,” or sensorineural hearing loss, improve their hearing through the use of hearing aids. There is no medicine or surgery to repair the inner ear, so these hearing impaired individuals need amplification systems to hear their loved ones. Improvements in computer-chip technology have also made hearing aid systems and assistive listening devices (ALDs) much more advanced than years ago. They are available now to make your life, and those of your loved ones, much easier.

It was basically the boost for us that we needed.” “If we would have knocked them out like we should have and we normally do when we’re in shape and we’re on full steam, it could have easily been a 60-7 game,” Ceniceros said. “You have bad games and I’m glad we had our bad game and now we know what we need to work on and we’ll improve.” Glenn had one more chance to tie the game after senior defensive back Ashtin Simmons recovered the third Norwalk fumble. But Escobar was incomplete on three straight passes and the Lancers took over with 61 seconds remaining in the game. Escobar was 10 of 21 for 211 yards and Green caught half of the completions for 101 yards. Norwalk had not allowed a 200-yard passer this season and the 339 yards in total offense from Glenn was the second highest allowed by the Lancers defense this season. “You have to keep coming at them,” Wilson said. “They’re not very conditioned as they think. You have to keep smacking them in the mouth. They’re definitely not a number one ranked team. “We wanted to throw the ball but we obviously wanted them to respect the run,” Wilson added. “They’re very vulnerable to the pass. Anybody that wants to beat [Norwalk], they’re going to throw the ball and that’s what we did.” The Eagles, who have finished the hard part of their schedule, will host winless Artesia tonight on their homecoming. Glenn is seeking its first playoff berth since 2002 when the team went 4-6-1 overall and finished in a tie for third place in the league. All of Norwalk’s 462 yards came on the ground, led by Gonzales, who carried the ball 31 times for 238 yards. Edwards added 129 yards on 14 carries and Moore chimed in with 82 yards on 18 touches. “He’s just a warrior,” Ceniceros said of Gonzales. “You look at him run and he’s 165 pounds and runs like he’s 265 pounds. I can’t say anymore about the guy. Tonight he just really impressed me and showed me and his teammates the way to play football.” The Lancers visit Cerritos tonight in their final road game of the season.
Cerritos Spikers Sweep Mayfair, Remain in Total Control of Suburban League By Loren Kopff At the rate the Cerritos girls volleyball team is going, the only team that can beat the Lady Dons are the Lady Dons themselves. What was supposed to be a compet-
itive battle between Cerritos and Mayfair, the last two remaining undefeated teams in the Suburban League, turned out to be another low scoring sweep for the Lady Dons this past Tuesday. For only the fifth time in at least the last 23 meetings, all of which have come since 2005, the Lady Dons knocked off the Monsoons 25-8, 25-12, 25-12 to improve to 10-1 overall and 6-0 in the circuit. Including games played in the Mayfair Tournament, the Lady Dons have lost seven out of 43 games played this season. Cerritos is also the third ranked team in the California Interscholastic Federation-Southern Section Division III-A polls. The last two matches have been against Mayfair and last season’s league champion, La Mirada. But Cerritos allowed 36 points in sweeping the Matadores on the road on Oct. 14. Cerritos has won 10 straight with the last eight coming via a sweep. “We were expecting the same competition,” said junior middle blocker Jessica Wu. “Last year, we played a good match against them, too. It’s just that this year we have to step up our game if we really want the league title and that’s our goal.” Mayfair was leading 5-4 in the first game but a serving error gave senior middle blocker Jenny Ho the serve and she promptly reeled off six straight points with

Meanwhile, Ho and Wu each had 12 tipped her seventh kill of the match, she was subbed out for senior defensive special- kills while junior outside hitter Cherise ist Janice Chung, who served six straight Kam added 10 kills and Adams had eight points.

Attending the Southeast Regional Collaborative luncheon meeting Oct. 13 at the Prince Seafood Restaurant were [l-r] ABC Superintendent Dr. Gary Smuts, Maria Hernandez, Tri City Regional Medical Center Community Relations Director Mary Lou Landes, Hawaiian Gardens Councilmember Michiko Oyama-Canada, ABC Deputy Superintendent Dr. Mary Sieu, Sheriff Sergeant Tom Burt, Dr. Bill Cox, Senior Pastor Emmanuel Church of Lakewood, Hawaiian Gardens Mayor Michael Gomez, and Mario Lopez. Hawaiian Gardens Mayor Mike Lopez described his recent visit to the nation’s capital, Washington D.C. He said he had received an invitation from Vice President Biden inviting him and his wife to a meeting of Mayors at his residence. All expenses paid. When he and his wife arrived at the Vice President residence, they were ushered into a large room, but not huge. “I expected there would be a large crowd, but to my astonishment it was reasonable. I learned all the mayors were from small towns and we learned we all had similar problems. The Vice President joined us and referred to my wife as Hawaiian Gardens first Lady.” This was the first time a Hawaiian Gardens mayor had been invited to the nation’s capital by a sitting vice president. Asked if he had time to do some sightseeing, the Mayor said he visited the Vietnam Wall, which he described as very impressive, the Korean Memorial and the Lincoln Memorial. “When you look up at the statue of President Lincoln sitting there, it’s awesome.” He described the visit was both inspirational and educational, especially being able to talk to Mayors from all over the country and meeting in person the vice president.

ABC Unified School District Wins Two Golden Bell Awards ABC Unified School District will be honored in the 30th Annual Golden Bell Awards Program of the California School Boards Association. The District will receive two Golden Bell Awards this year. One was won for the Network for a Healthy California Program under the direction of Dipa Shah, Program Coordinator. The goal of the Network for a Healthy Program is to promote healthy eating and regular physical activity among low income families.

The program is administered by Crechena Wise, Principal of Tetzlaff MS and under the direction of Greg Porter, Journalism teacher. The goal of the Red Carpet Media Festival is to celebrate student achievement inn the areas of technology and media productions in a culminating event.

CERRITOS-CONTINUED FROM PAGE 13 game,” Wu said. “It’s working pretty well this year.” The Lady Dons are halfway through what they hope is their third league title since 1995. The team has allowed no more than 37 points in any league match thus far, which was one of the lesser goals set by Vo at the beginning of the season. “It’s definitely pressure but we set goals for ourselves and we try our best to make them,” Wu said. “If we don’t, then we take our consequences.” Cerritos, which hosted last place Norwalk this past Wednesday, will visit John Glenn today and will go for the season sweep of Mayfair on Monday. The team will then conclude the road portion of league action on Wednesday at Artesia. However, Vo isn’t quite ready to hoist another league championship on the walls of the Cerritos gymnasium. “It really depends on how we play,” Vo said. “For the most part, it showed today. There were points where we played really well and there were points where we just didn’t play very smart. I expect La Mirada and I expect Mayfair to come back and give us a better match next time. “My approach to the game is once you get to a certain level, we try to get to the next level,” Vo added. “We’re at a pretty high level right now, I agree. But in order to become championship caliber-to get to that No. 2 or No. 1 ranking, a lot of it is mental. You don’t see championship teams drop balls that we dropped today.”

By Loren Kopff Legendary Gahr girls volleyball head coach Sonny Okamoto knows his team has little to no chance in knocking off Downey anytime soon. So, in order to stay competitive in the San Gabriel Valley League each season, Warren seems to be that one opponent the Gladiators can steal a victory from here and there. Gahr and Warren split their two matches in 2005 and in 2007 and the Gladiators were hoping to secure at least another split in 2009 but the Bears got the upper hand 19-25, 25-14, 25-19, 26-24 last Thursday afternoon at Gahr. Coupled with a victory at Paramount this past Tuesday afternoon, the Gladiators entered its Oct. 22 match at Downey with an overall mark of 9-9 and a league record of 3-2, good enough for third place. The Gladiators led all the way in the first game against the Bears, paced by the hitting of senior outside hitter Tiffany McCray (seven kills) and junior outside hitter Annie Reyes (six kills). Gahr was looking strong in the opening moments of the second game as Reyes added two more kills and junior middle blocker Jillian Tiedeman had a pair of aces. But the Bears and their balanced attack of Heather Adamson, Chelsea Cabrajac, Mallory Hill and Franny Vaaulu rallied back to take an 8-6 lead and when Adamson had four aces plus a kill, Warren was up 15-8. Gahr would post only four kills in the game as it was slightly aided by Warren mistakes. “We haven’t done anything together as a team this year,” Okamoto said. “That’s the difficult part. We’re starting to get healthy but, I’ll make it real simple. Cerritos is good because they play as a team. I think they play better as a team right now than a lot of teams around here. Valley [Christian] might be the other one that plays well as a team.” On the strength of three straight aces from senior setter Leeanne Currie, the Gladiators were sitting with a 9-5 lead in the third game. But Adamson countered with three of her own and eventually the Bears opened up a 16-11 lead. Cabrajac, who has been Warren’s leader the past four seasons despite being injured as a sophomore, had five kills and two aces in the third game. She would lead everyone with 16 kills. “She tried to take over the game and the thing I told my kids was the same thing that happened to them,” Okamoto said. “It takes a team to win the game and when she tried to take it on her own shoulders, it was very difficult for her to do that. It gave us an opportunity. They have weak links just like I have weak links.” Warren made sure the Gladiators wouldn’t jump out to another early lead as Adamson and Sam Madrid each had a kill and a shared block to help Warren lead 10-4 in the fourth game. Gahr did come back and tied the game four times, the last when Warren was called for a lift violation making it a 24-24 contest. But Hill and Lauren McCaughan ended the last ditch attempt with kills. McCray led the Gladiators with 14 kills while Reyes had a dozen kills along with four aces. Junior middle hitter Chelsea Heyward was next in line with six kills as Gahr is still looking to find that consistent offensive attack. “I thought Tiffany has played pretty aggressive since she’s been injured,” Okamoto said. “Hopefully her body will hold up the rest of the year. I need her at least for the Paramount games.” Gahr will participate in the Marlborough Tournament on Saturday, then will host the bottom feeders of the league-Dominguez and Lynwood on Tuesday and Thursday respectively. As for Gahr’s playoff chance this season, it will be determined on the final week of the season when the team goes to Warren, then hosts Paramount. Dating back to 1998, the Gladiators are 20-3 against Paramount but just 7-16 against Warren. “I think we can [beat Warren],” Okamoto said of the next meeting. “The way they played against us, I think we can. But they beat Downey in our tournament [last month]. If we take care of our business against Paramount, we have a chance.”
