Cerritos City Councilwomen and friends participate in Marine Corps Jane Wayne Day
[l-r] Cerritos Council member Laura Lee, members of the 1st CEB Adoption Committee, Judy Mendez, Sara Clardy and Dorothy Owen (not shown), and Cerritos Council member Carol Chen Lee participated in the day-long activities. This annual event designed for female spouses, family members, and civilians which allowed firsthand experiences, the daily activities, training and duties in the life of a marine.
Hawaiian Gardens approves funds for Summer School programs By Jerry Bernstein For the second consecutive year the Hawaiian Gardens City Council approved a donation of $120,000 to fund the 2010 summer school program at local Hawaiian Gardens Schools. At the same time it voted an additional $80,000 to fund summer school programs at schools that serve Hawaiian Garden students, but are not in the city. In asking for the additional money ABC Superintendent Dr. Gary Smuts agreed to work with his financial staff to try and find funds from the American Recovery Relief Act for Fedde Middle School’s summer school program. Dr Smuts told the council that public school education has resulted in more than $34 million in cuts to ABC School District’s budget. He said Artesia High School would not have a summer school program it originally proposed. Mayor Victor Farfan said he views this as being critical. We need to do this for our residents. We need to see that our students get the best education possible and by missing out of summer school we are missing out on the best opportunity to capture them and keep them focused.”
Councilmember Barry Bruce agreed and said as the state continues to cuts back funds, cities are going to be asked to fund programs like summer school. He warned however, that if Hawaiian Gardens was going to continue doing things like this then it had to find other sources of income. In other business the Council approved participant fees for Sports and Youth Camp/Excursions to be included in the city’s “comprehensive fee schedule for municipal services.” Director of Human Services Steve Gomez, in his report to the council, said the fee schedule did not include fees for youth sports or youth camps/excursions. Gomez said the Human Services Department conducted a survey of program fees in various cities and discovered most cities currently charge some type of program participation fee. He said, “By including a fee it assists in participants being more accountable and encourages them to attend program practices, games and events. For the past several years, our youth programs have been offered to the community at no cost. We discovered that once some of the participants received their [See BUDGET Page 11]
Cerritos Mayor Pro Tem Laura Lee and City Councilmember Carol Chen joined Sara Clardy, Judy Mendes and Dorothy Owen from the Friends of the 1st CEB of Cerritos to participate in a Marine Corps Jane Wayne Day at Camp Pendleton on June 5. Jane Wayne Day provides marine spouses and supporters with an opportunity to experience a Marine’s job through activities such as climbing the obstacle course rope, firing numerous weapon systems and participating in the combat fitness test. Before participating in any of the activities, the participants were given a thorough safety briefing and a period of instruction about the event. They were also outfitted with camouflage makeup, helmets and vests. After being a Marine for a day, the participants had a greater appreciation for what it takes to be a Marine.

La Palma 2010 Relay for Life a big success
YourCity TV By Larry Caballero
When La Palma and Buena Park community supporters and cancer survivors co-chaired their first American Cancer Society Relay for Life 7 years ago, no one could have guessed how successful it would become today. The first Relay for Life grossed over $40,000 with about 200 supporters and participants. Last year, the Relay at Buena Park Junior High grossed over $100,000 with over 900 supporters and 31 teams. Each team pledges to raise money to cure cancer and runs to honor and celebrate those who have survived the dreaded disease. There were over 600 registered participants this year, 36 teams and more than [See RELAY Page 8]
Cerritos Council gives preliminary approval to budget for new fiscal year By Jerry Bernstein The Cerritos City Council gave preliminary approval to a $82 million operating budget for the new fiscal year that begins July 1. City Manager Art Gallucci said the budget is approximately 6.2 percent below the current budget and has a $1.2 million deficit that will be made up from the city’s reserve. In his report to the city council, he said the largest revenue sources for the City continue to be sales tax and interest income, comprising approximately 40 percent of the City’s operating budget. He said both sources were impacted by the economic situation during 2009-10 fiscal year, and it is anticipated the City will face a similar impact for 2010-11 fiscal year. He said the City is projecting an overall sales tax drop of approximately $1.2 million, resulting in projected sales tax receipts pf approximately $19.8 million. Gallucci said although the projection reflects a significant drop from 2009-10, it actually incorporates some optimism. He said it reflects a one full year old activity at the new flagship Forever 21 and Nordstrom stores at the Los Cerritos Center. “We believe strongly that the new mall
stores and hopeful signs at the Cerritos Auto Square will mitigate the economic effects seen elsewhere. Turning to the state budget and its annual deficits, the city manager said this year the state raided California Cities Redevelopment Agencies to help cover and estimated $20 billion deficit. Cerritos had to pay $11.8 million from its Redevelopment Agency with another $2.3 million to be diverted for the fiscal year $2010-11. This has forced a temporary suspension of Cuesta Villas the 247 apartment project for low to moderate-income seniors to be located on the southeast corner of Norwalk Boulevard and 166th Street where the ABC Administration Building now stands. He said legal challenges are being [See CERRITOS Page 12]

ABC Holds Mini-Olympics
Three-year-old Ashley Tellers, an ABC Parent Education student, shows courage by “walking the plank” June 2 at the ABC Adult School’s Mini-Olympics on the Gahr High School campus. By Larry Caballero More than 300 children, ages 1-5, enjoyed the ABC Adult School’s MiniOlympics Jun. 2 at the Cecilia Damron facility on the Gahr High School campus and participated in several events including an obstacle course, long jump, basketball throw, and walk the plank. Fun activities for the children included face painting, photo ops in front of the Olympic Emblem and craft tables. Each child who participated was a guaranteed winner. Teacher Terridawn Hernandez said, “This is an annual event hosted by the Parent Education Program, and anywhere from 350-500 people attend this wonderful event each year.” The Gahr campus is one of five sites located within the boundaries of the ABC School District. The ABC Adult School program has existed for almost 30 years and all of the teachers have a California Credential. “More important than the teachers’ qualifications and quality teaching is their love of teaching and passion for the program,” said Hernandez. Parents and grandparents are extremely supportive of the program, and it holds the strong interest of the surrounding communities. Hernandez said, “It is common to have parents from Brea, Fullerton, and other Orange County cities enroll because there is no program like it in their own community.” Last year a parent and child enrolled from as far away as Ontario. “Our program consists of highly
motivated parents who strongly desire to have their child educated in our program, regardless of the miles they have to drive.” Studies have shown that children who attend pre-school are far better prepared to meet the social, emotional and academic challenges of kindergarten. Parent Ed prepares children through fun activities that develop fine motor skills; letter, number, color and shape recognition; phonics; and artistic creativity. “We not only support the children, but we are here to educate the parents as well in developing effective communication, interaction, recreation and discipline with their children. Both parent and the children benefit from this outstanding program.” The program directly feeds into the ABC Unified School district, and some of the program’s alumni have gone onto Whitney High School and public and private colleges and universities.

At $MM Meg’s acceptance speech she said “public employees' unions don’t have a chance with me!” Logical way to join a company, trashing public employees unions while wanting to be a public employee.

Carly Fiorina the queen of outsourcing (30,000 jobs cut at HP and sent offshore), ranked twenty of the worst CEO’s ever (CNBC), ran HP to the ground (even after the outsourcing) got a golden parachute, was kicked out of the McCain/Palin campaign for blabber of the mouth.

Dear ABC Friends and Fellow Retirees, As you may have read or seen on the news, the Tarin Family of Hawaiian Gardens recently suffered the heartbreaking loss of their father, Alfredo Sr., son Alfredo Jr., daughter Serena, and the severe injury of their mother Lucy during a tragic, early morning incident of domestic violence. The TarinRivera-Rodriguez Family are longtime respected and admired members of the Hawaiian Gardens community. Starting with family patriarch, Henry Rivera in 1937, all attended ABC Schools from Elementary through High School. Serena left a 9-month old baby, Jacob, who is now being raised by his Aunt Valerie and the rest of his loving family. Since Jacob's first birthday will be August 21, a group of ABC friends will be helping Valerie register Jacob at "Babies R Us" for the many items that he will need now and in the near future. If you would like to participate in helping to provide Jacob with a Happy First Birthday, Valerie Tarin-Rodriguez will be registered in the near future at "Babies R Us". Please look her up there and then contact me by e-mail. We would be happy to pick-up and deliver your gift to Jacob, and please know that your thoughtfulness will be truly appreciated by this deserving family. If you prefer to mail a gift or gift card, also please let me know by e-mail and I will provide you with my mailing address. Linda Hernandez & ABC Friends of the Tarin Family Lindaemailqueen@yahoo.com

It was a fun day for teachers and students.

The team raising the most money this year, at $22,000, was the AOL So-Cal Over 40, led by Peter Chow and Sylvia Woodside who are able to get their company, the WFG Foundation, to contribute matching funds. In second place was Sandee’s (Michalek) All-Stars who raised more than $16,000. Top fundraising person was Barbara Mast who raised more than $5,000. Past co-chairs Chow and Woodside said “the relay gives us the opportunity to celebrate the good work we did and to raise a lot of money at the same time for a great cause.” One of this year’s cochairs is La Palma Mayor Pro-Tem Ralph Rodriguez who was very pleased with

the tremendous support and turnout. “It just gets bigger and better every year.” Main events included a Survivor Celebration Breakfast, Opening Ceremony with Mayors’ Addresses from La Palma Mayor Steve Shanahan and Buena Park Mayor Art Brown, a Survivor Lap, Parade of Teams and the Luminaria Ceremony and Walk. Participants are encouraged to walk as many laps as they can, and the traditional luminaria ceremony and walk takes place at 9:00 pm on Saturday when all of the lights on the track are shut off. Last year, almost 900 paper bags were purchased in memory or in honor of a cancer patient or survivor. The bags were illuminated on the track with a candle inside and an inscription on the outside of the bag. Relay for Life’s mission is to eliminate cancer as a major health issue.

Dinner with Friends Divorce is good!? You never know what to expect when you read the promotional summary of a play that says: “a rueful comedy. …. a thoughtful study on divorce, a turbulent meditation on the minefield of middle age. But always the curious-and middle aged-off we went to Dinner with Friends at the La Mirada Theater. And we were not disappointed The play starts inside a tiny house in Connecticut, (great scene decorations throught the entire play). Gabe and Karen, a happily married couple, have been friends with married couple Tom and Beth for many years. In fact, they introduced them. While having dinner at Gabe and Karen’s home one night, Beth tearfully reveals after 12 years, that she is getting a divorce from Tom, who has been unfaithful. The unfolding story is not the divorce, but the shockwaves it causes in its wake. Over the course of the play, we witness the effects of Tom and Beth’s breakup on Gabe and Karen, who first feel compelled to choose sides, and then begin to question the strength of their own seemingly tranquil marriage. The play exposes the same, universal insecurities that people face every time there are shattering changes in their lives. But the play tackles those insecurities with a thoughtful mix of humor and solace. The characters are real. Gabe, played by Kevin Weisman, is a veteran food

critic who when confronted the problem, reverts back to talking about his love for food and wine, funny banter. The conservative Karen, Gabe's wife, played by Melanie Lora, questions herself and “what if” after the divorce revelation. Patrick Fabian, playing Tom, a guy going through the middle-age-what-if- jogging- four-to-five-milesthen-making-love-inthe-shower-with-hisnew-partner-guy, and Beth, the stay at home mom who questions why this is happening to her and lays some of her problems on Gabe and Karen. They are very normal. They could be the family, friends, and the people next door. They are people facing their fears. When all is said and done, Tom and Beth end up "happy" with their new partners and Gabe and Karen end up questioning “what if”, but only for a minute. Quite the turnaround from the beginning of the play. All in all extremely enjoyable and a night well spent.

ORANGE COUNTY-While the Artesia Punishers 18-U travel ball softball team competes in the Amateur Softball Association and aspires to play for a national championship in the first week of August every summer, there’s yet another major championship to play for. The Premier Girls Fastpitch, already a few months old, put on a qualifier for the ESPN/Premier National Tournament in early August. With the PGF forming, possibly to give the ASA some competition in the future, it gave a chance for manager Bob Medina to put his team in back to back national championships. But after winning the first two games of the double elimination function, the Punishers lost last Saturday evening, then had to win five games this past Sunday in the loser’s bracket. “The Premier and ASA State are probably about the same,” Medina said. “If not, then Premier was probably tougher. But we met a lot of good, strong teams and played a lot of strong teams and that was our focus in the short amount of time coming back from [the high school season].” The Punishers opened the qualifier last Friday night with a 4-2 victory over the San Diego Power Surge at the Huntington Beach Sports Complex. With right fielder Amanda Natsuhara (Canyon High School, University of California,

San Diego) at first via a walk in the bottom of the first, left fielder Arren Nunez (South East High School) singled to put runners on the corners. Both would advance on an illegal pitch and Nunez would later score on yet another illegal pitch. After the Power Surge tied the game in the top of the third, catcher Jessica Roper (Mayfair High School, California State University, San Marcos) drove in Natsuhara with the team’s third straight base hit. One inning later, consecutive doubles from second baseman Mahrisch Medina (Mayfair High School, East Carolina University) and first baseman Kristina Akiona (Pacifica High School) iced the game. Kristin Jaeger (Mayfair High School, CSUSM) pitched five innings of twohit ball while Cerissa Rivera (Fountain Valley High School) worked the final two innings, also allowing a pair of hits. The next morning, the Punishers erupted for four runs in the top of the first inning and cruised to a 7-0 victory over the (Tustin) Pure Gold at Toyon Park in Anaheim. With center fielder Abrianna Palacio (Garden Grove High School) having scored on a wild pitch, Roper’s base hit to right brought in Nunez. Akiona followed that up with a double and Medina’s sacrifice fly plated Roper. The final run of the inning was courtesy of a base hit from third baseman Brittany Colenzo (Downey High School, Vanguard University). Already up 5-0, the Punishers closed out the scoring in the fifth when catcher Sarah Carrasco (Lakewood High School) and second baseman Sydney Colenzo (Downey High School) posted consecutive run scoring singles. The scene then shifted to the Fountain Valley Mile Square Sports Complex later in the day where the Punishers allowed six runs in the top of the first inning to the (Yorba Linda) Courage and fell 8-4 despite a furious rally in the bottom of the sixth. With the score 8-1, Nunez reached on an infield single, Roper was walked and Akiona singled to load the bases. Pinch hitter Natalia Morales (South East High School) came through with a two-run single and Medina, who was inserted as a pinch runner, scored on a wild pitch. This past Sunday in an elimination game at Yorba Regional Park, the Punishers hooked up with a familiar foe in the San Diego Breakers and scratched a run in the bottom of the eighth for the lone tally in the game. With center fielder Rochelle Rivera (Fountain Valley High School) standing at second due to the international tiebreaker rules, Natsuhara sacrificed her to third. Then on a full count, Nunez singled to center for the game winner. Brittany Colenzo pitched eight innings of two-hit ball and did not walk a batter. No one from the Breakers
reached third until the top of the eighth. The fifth game of the weekend was a come from behind 4-3 victory over the(Westlake Village) Jets. Down 2-0 after the first inning, the Punishers received single tallies in the next three innings, then broke a 3-3 tie in the top of the seventh when Medina drove in Palacio with a base hit. Medina scored twice while Nunez posted a pair of hits. Right after that victory, the Punishers were bounced out by another old combatant, the (San Juan Capistrano) California Desperados 6-5 despite rallying from a 5-0 deficit. “In the beginning, the team didn’t know how strong we actually are,” Bob Medina said. “They were smiling at the end after we lost. The one thing we got to know about this is we can go anywhere. We’re kind of like a major league baseball team. The talent that we have, the depth that we have is huge. I think they’re just believing in it right now, even the people who were on the bench.” The Punishers will be in Las Vegas this weekend in a showcase tournament, then try for one of the top 13 spots in the ASA “A” 18-Under State Tournament to be held at Orange Terrace Community Park in Riverside. If the team claims one of the top 13 spots, it will qualify for the ASA “A” 18-Under National Championships in Hemet later in the summer. “There’s always a plan and ASA Nationals is probably our biggest concern,” Bob Medina said. “ASA State is going to be our biggest concern and in the past, we’ve won Nationals twice. If we don’t compete; just go there and play that game, then we’re not going to be prepared for that tournament play in a tournament atmosphere.” The remaining players of the 18-Under Punishers are: Starla Coffee (Los Alamitos High School), Celine Fuentes (Ocean View High School), Autumn Martinez (Ocean View High School), Katrina Pinkowski (Cypress College) and Lacey Nilsson (Los Alamitos High School). Joining Bob Medina on his coaching staff are Ed Blanck, Mike Fuentes and Tim Rivera.

Weekly crime summary
May 31 to June 6, 2010
Part I felony investigations rose last week to twenty-nine compared to twenty the week before. Commercial burglaries and vehicle thefts were up, robberies and vehicle burglaries remained the same, and residential burglaries declined. There were 335 calls for service last week, up from 300 the week before. The 2010 weekly average in calls for service is now 299. One robbery was investigated last week. On Wednesday June 2 at 8:30 p.m. a female was walking on Droxford Street near Del Rio Place when a male suspect came up behind her and wrestled her purse away. There was one residential burglary reported last week. Three were investigated the week before. In the case last week, the suspect(s) shattered a rear sliding glass door but did not enter the home. Neighbors were apparently attracted to the crime as a result of the noise made by shattering the door. The new 2010 weekly average in residential burglaries is 2.2. Neighbors take care of neighbors. You know the activities in your neighborhood by seeing daily them daily. Report ANY suspicious behavior to the Sheriff’s Station right away. Help make your neighborhood “hostile” to crime! Five commercial burglaries were reported last week. There were two cases investigated the past two consecutive weeks. Four closed business and a storage unit were targeted last week. Tools, computers, cash, TVs, and a plastic container were missing. The 2010 weekly average in commercial burglaries is 2.9. Vehicle burglaries remained the same at seven last week. Six of the crimes occurred in high-volume commercial parking lots. Five of the vehicles were SUVs. One involved the theft of a GPS unit. Other property reported taken included Bluetooth devices, access cards, wallets, duffel bags, ID, credit cards, purses, and cell phones. The new 2010 weekly average in vehicle burglaries is now 6.6. Just because your vehicle is the driveway doesn’t mean it cannot be the target of a vehicle burglary. Make sure that nothing can be seen inside that would appeal to a thief. Vehicle thefts rose by one crime over the previous reporting period when four were logged. High-volume commercial parking lots were the crime scenes in two. The 2010 weekly average in vehicle thefts is now 4.7. We always promote the use of steering wheel locking devices as great visible deterrents, but also endorse the use of tracking devices that can lead to the speedy recovery of your stolen vehicle.

Adult Sports - $100-$200 per team, per season plus official referee fees. Youth Camp Excursion $ 5 $25 per week (includes excursion) Fiscal Year 20011-12 Youth Sports - $15 per player, per season.

Making the accusation was Hawaiian Garden resident Rosie Gomez. Bruce responded that his daughter won the scholarship on her own. He had nothing to do with it. She earned it. “She is a very smart girl,” he asserted. Bruce asked the City Attorney if there was a conflict of interest because his daughter won a scholarship. He said if there is, the scholarship would be torn up and thrown away. “If there is not, please explain why it is okay.” He said her grades are almost 4.0 and described her as an achiever. She does her work and to say she doesn’t deserve a scholarship is wrong just because her dad is on the city council. “ Vanguard University accepted her, not because she is the daughter of a city councilmember” he asserted. “They accepted her because she is smart.” Bruce’s daughter, a graduating senior at Turner

High School, received an athletic scholarship in the amount of $ 2,000. City Attorney Omar Sandolval said he was not aware of any conflict of interest. The city’s scholarship committee is made up with three people. They include a representative from the city’s Recreation Commission, a representative from the Hawaiian Gardens Casino and from State Senator Alan Lowenthal’s office. A total of 15 scholarships were awarded ranging from $1,250 to $3,000. Applicants are required to write an essay and then are interviewed by the panel. The Council continued a proposal to initiate an audit of city departments until its’ next meeting. Mayor Pro Tem Michiko Oyama-Canada was absent. The four Councilmembers present agreed on the audit, but disagreed whether it should be authorized before or after the final budget was approved later this month.

The group plans to prepare 800 more care packages in November. The Friends of the 1st CEB of Cerritos have also held fund-raising events such as car washes, bowling tournaments and golf tournaments to help support members of the 1st CEB.

Continued from page 1 pursued by the California Redevelopment Association [CRA} and other parties with the ruling of a lower court ruling upholding the state’s taking the local funds and the CRA contending it was unconstitutional. Gallucci said it is projected Cerritos will see a continuation of the reduced sales tax revenues with a projection the city will receive approximately $19.8 million in sales tax revenue which constitutes a reduction of $1.2 million from the 2009-10. He said the Redevelopment Agency will receive approximately $31.3 million in tax increment, which he described as a conservative estimate and reflects an increase of $1.5 million tax increment over 2009-10. He said while the impacts of reduced sales activity are undeniable, Cerritos is fortunate to experience remarkable consistence in its residential and commercial property values during a “depressed real estate market”. Interest income will provide another $9.7 million for the City, with $9.3 million of this amount going into the General Fund He noted that as in prior years, the City will use its General Fund interest income to cover operating expenditures. Gallucci said the interest income reflects the yield generated from the City’s investment portfolio and from ongoing reimbursements received from the

Redevelopment Agency to pay down its cumulate debt to the City.

The combined budgetary total of all City/ Agency activities for the new fiscal year is $119,108,620.

Mayor Pro Tem Laura Lee, and Councilmembers Carol Chen and Bruce Barrows who basically said the city could use the $185,000 for more meaningful purposes since the city’s revenues were down due to the current recession. Approximately $30,000 had been raised or committed to construction of the float by a fundraising drive initiated by the city. LCCN had proposed a “Friends of the Float” campaign to help raise funds for the float. “We believe we could have raised a substantial amount of money utilizing the community and newspaper in a coordinated campaign combining community leaders, local organizations and schools”, said Brian Hews, publisher of LCCN. However, the council majority apparently did not feel sufficient funding would be raised from the community to sufficiently supplement the total cost. Mayor Pro Tem Lee said her vote was very difficult to make, especially since there were many intangible benefits the city received from the worldwide coverage of the parade. It is not easy to say no she stated, however, she said the loss of city revenue and the state taking city funds to help balance its budget, in her opinion, made if difficult to approve $185,000 expenditure on the float this year. Recreation Director Sherri Titus said when she notified the tournament, they were understanding and left the door YourCity open for the city to return in the future.
