LA Opera and Patricia Nixon Elementary School Choir Perform To Proud Parents Publisher's note: We inadvertently ran the wrong school name and article last week for this story. The corrected article is below. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.
By Larry Caballero Patricia Nixon Elementary School veteran teacher of 39 years Bebe Smith, was very excited to learn that LA Opera Education and Community Program wanted to send professional singers to Nixon Elementary School and perform with the school’s upper grade choir students. “The children were really excited when they were told that they would be
performing with singers from the LA Opera, and so was I.” Smith has been on staff at Nixon Elementary for 36 years and has always been involved with teaching her students how to dance, sing and perform in musical plays, but the LA Opera had only come to her school once before. Approximately thirteen schools from up and down the California coastline were chosen. Other than finding ways to pay for the production, Smith and her assistants, Tina Van Wert, Nadja Ellis and Angela Roddy-Brown, could only see the positives in giving the 4th to 6th grade students the experience of performSee OPERA on Page 13

now holding a female hostage inside, attempted entry through a closed and locked door. As David was attempting a forced entry with his partner, the suspect fired several bullets through the door, mortally wounding him. Despite the valiant attempts to save his life by David’s fellow deputies and fire paramedics, he was transported to St. Frances Hospital in the City of Lynwood where shortly after his arrival he was pronounced dead. After taking the life of Deputy David Powell, the suspect, a local gang member who remained barricaded in the converted garage, took his own life with a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Nearly seven years have passed since the murder of Deputy David Powell. David paid the ultimate sacrifice while serving a community he loved and cherished. To honor his life, service, and sacrifice and to ensure his memory and sacrifice live on, a portion of the 91 freeway will soon be memorialized in his name. Tony Mendoza, Assembly Member 56th District, authored Assembly Concurrent Resolution (ACR) 30, designating State Highway Route 91 from the 605 freeway to Pioneer Boulevard, as the Deputy David Powell Los Angeles County Sheriff Memorial Highway. With the passage of ACR 30 this past July, funds now must be raised to pay for the two memorial signs. Community efforts, spearheaded by long time Artesia resident Tony Mendoza, are underway to pay the $5,000.00 cost of the signs which include the lifetime maintenance of them. A fund raising dinner is planned for Wednesday, November 18, at 6:30 p.m., and will be held at the Albert O. Little Community Center, 18750 Clarkdale Avenue, City of Artesia. The cost to attend the dinner is $20.00 and all proceeds will go to the payment of the memorial signs. Deputy David Powell loved life and lived every minute of it to its fullest. His heart was filled with love and his whole purpose in life was to make a positive difference in the lives of others. His family and faith were the center of his life. Those qualities made him an outstanding deputy who loved helping others. Residents and business leaders alike can now help to ensure David’s memory lives on for many years to come by contributing to the fund to pay for the cost of the Deputy David Powell Los Angeles County Sheriff Memorial Highway signs. Those wishing to contribute can attend the dinner on November 18 at the Albert O. Little Community Center. Tickets can be purchased by November 12th. Tickets may be purchased from the City of Artesia or by calling 562-881-3211. Those wishing to make a donation can send a check payable to Southern California C.O.P.S.,

and Reinvestment Act [ARRA] of 2009. He said Cerritos requested and has been approved to receive more than $1.6 million for the purpose of rehabilitation of various arterial and local streets in the city. He said many of the streets have not been resurfaced in a number of years. Councilmember Laura Lee asked if the streets involved were earmarked for repair prior to applying for the grant, City Manager Art Gallucci replied yes. He said the city has received other funds under ARRA but this was the only one where the plans were completed and ready to go.. Mayor pro tem Joseph Cho inquired if leftover funds could be used on other street projects. Gallucci said they were looking into See ROAD on Page 13
dinner, David shared that with his 19 years Department seniority, 12 years at Lakewood Station, he could very easily ask for a less dangerous job by requesting a desk assignment. However, he loved his present assignment and the community he served in the City of Artesia. David could not bear the thought of leaving his patrol unit 134T1, and a job that brought him so much fulfillment and satisfaction with helping others. Tragically, the sounds of family laughter would soon be replaced with the sights and sounds of a family grieving the loss of a love one. On Saturday, November 30, 2002, just two days following that very special family gathering on Thanksgiving Day, Deputy David Powell was shot and killed in the line-ofduty. David was one of several deputies who responded to a call for service of a shooting at a residence in Norwalk near the City of Artesia. A Sheriff’s helicopter had observed two individuals running away from the area of the shooting and directed deputies to a rear yard of a house where one of the individuals disappeared in the area of a converted garage.

THE Friends of the FIRST CEB of Cerritos for dedicating hundreds of hours each year to help our troops overseas. Chuck Sooter and Dorothy Owen and countless others have dedicate themselves each year to remembering, honoring and reaching out to our military heroes fighting in Iraq and Afgahastan. So to the hundreds of you who also do you part in giving back, I am “thankful” for all you do as well. Peace, kindness and hope to each of you. Have a great Thanksgiving.
And on the other side of the island..... Rants Against Bias in the Newsrooms Can Go Both Ways Recently the editor {publisher} of the Los Cerritos Community News unleashed upon us readers two rants against two popular commentators who are both generally labeled conservatives. In doing so, he meant to diminish whatever points they may have made with regards to most of what these two commentators talk about. However, he fails to realize that there are significant numbers of “well-respected” “newsmen” and “newswomen” who regularly engage in similar antics, some going well beyond the sometimes paranoid antics Rush Limbaugh and Lou Dobbs. Let’s start with former sportscaster turned “smartest man in the room” Keith Olberman, whose Jekyll and Hyde impersonation leaves many scratching their heads concerning why he is allowed by MSNBC to be more than just a newsreader. For instance, Mr. Olbermann regularly castigated the former Bush Administration for being racists, Nazis, and fascists, while saying that ethnic cleanser Saddam Hussein did not sink low enough to that level. Then there are his vitriolic comments that verge on conspiracy theorist with regards to the Bush Administration, but any criticism on Democrat backed healthcare reform or the cap and trade bill are labeled as fear mongering and brings forth from Mr. Olber-

OPINIONS AND LETTERS mann fears that this criticism no matter how mild it may be could lead to lynch mobs? Next, we have Rachel Maddow who seems content to being a publicist for Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and Barack Obama, never delving into the actual policy in any detail but skimming the surface so as to spin anything and everything in such a way as to help the policies of the before mentioned three no matter if the actual impact on this nation is damaging or not. Then there is her obsession to defend everything Obama and bash everything Bush, even though former President George W. Bush is term limited and has been keeping quiet since he left office. For instance she has during Obama’s tenure said that criticizing Pelosi, Obama, & Reid could lead to violence by some angry, dimwitted white men in brown shirts, while castigating the Bush Administration and Republicans as Nazis, racists and fascists. Do I see a theme emerging? Last we have PBS’s own Bill Moyers. In his current program the Journal, he routinely engages in some of the most partisan propaganda imaginable calling it news. For instance, in July of this year Moyers had on his show Wendell Potter who for an hour spoke on how much the Democrat plan then forming was needed. Potter is the former spin-doctor for insurance giant Cigna and now works for the misnamed Center for Media and Democracy, one of the groups that helped write the narrowly passed House Bill. Meanwhile, Moyers complains how conservatives are supported by big business and fails to see the irony of who is backing his show and tends to financially benefit most from the legislation he and his ilk advance. It seems to me that if you call out commentators on one side of the political aisle and call that news, you have a journalistic duty to do so for those similarly over-reacting on the other side of the aisle. So, before you publish your inevitable rants on Sean Hannity, Bill O’Reilly, and Glenn Beck do us all a favor and pluck out some logs from your side of the aisle who help create some of the hypocrisy and vitriol you for appearance sake to want to stop.
Dear Editor:

Last week, a failed vice-presidential candidate claimed that animals belong right next to the mashed potatoes. This week, our president is pardoning two turkeys. It’s food for thought. Each of us has the presidential power to pardon a turkey this Thanksgiving. It shows our compassion for an innocent animal, as well as our concern for our family’s and our planet’s health. It’s a most fitting way to give thanks for our own life, health, and happiness. The 270 million turkeys abused and slaughtered in the U.S. each year have nothing to give thanks for. They breathe toxic fumes in crowded sheds. Their beaks and toes are severed. At the slaughter-house, workers cut their throats, and dump them into boiling water, sometimes while still conscious. Consumers too pay a heavy price. Turkey flesh is laced with cholesterol and saturated fats that ele-vate the risk of heart disease, stroke, and cancer. Careful adherence to government warning labels is required to avoid food poisoning. Turkey excrements pollute our water supplies. This Thanksgiving, I won’t be calling the Poultry Hot Line, or staying awake wondering how that turkey lived and died. I will be joining millions of other Americans in observing this joyful family holiday with nonviolent healthful products of the earth’s bounty: vegetables, fruits, and grains. A visit to my local supermarket or health food store and an internet search on vegan Thanksgiving will provide me more recipes and delicious turkey alternatives than I can possibly use.

Rep. Sánchez Votes to Protect Seniors’ Access to Doctors Attaches fiscally responsible PAY-GO legislation.
TO ADVERTISE CALL 800-901-7211
Healthy Living Today, Rep. Sánchez voted to preserve seniors’ access to their doctors by fixing the way Medicare pays physicians. The Medicare Physician Payment Reform Act will permanently reform the Medicare payment system, repealing a 21% cut in payments to doctors scheduled to take place in January and replacing it with a stable system that protects seniors, preserves their relationship with their doctors, and promotes primary care. “By fixing this system in a responsible way we are ensuring that our seniors have reliable access to their doctors and the primary care they need,” said Rep. Linda Sánchez. “Medicare is not a handout, it is a benefit that our seniors have earned, and this bill takes crucial steps toward strengthening it and providing the highest quality of care and benefits for retired and disabled Americans.” This bill tackles seniors’ main concern – preventing pay cuts that could encourage doctors to stop seeing Medicare patients. It builds on the

historic health insurance reform bill the House passed earlier this month, which will lower premiums, extend the solvency of Medicare by five years, improve preventive and primary care for seniors, and close the “donut hole” drug coverage gap. “For California’s seniors and those with disabilities, this is no abstract issue,” said Rep. Sánchez. “Access to a doctor can mean everything for them: independence, hope, and security. This bill will lower costs and improve care for seniors, who put in a lifetime of hard work to make this country great.” To underscore a commitment to reduce the deficit, the House attached statutory “pay-as-you-go,” or PAYGO, legislation to the Medicare Physician Payment Reform Act before sending it to the Senate. By joining statutory PAYGO with legislation fixing Medicare physician payments, it makes PAYGO more credible and effective – avoiding the need to waive it for current policies that Congress and the President have already agreed should be extended – and sending a clear message that we are committed to fiscal responsibility. “This is a direct example of Congress fulfilling a commitment to honest budgeting, and by permanently fixing the way doctors are paid we are putting a stop to budget gimmicks,” said Rep. Sánchez. “We’re also reminding the American
people, as well as the U.S. Senate, that new policies must be paid for.” With statutory PAYGO in place, all new tax and entitlement policies must be offset, restoring fiscal discipline and bringing down the deep deficits that face our nation. By enacting statutory PAYGO, Democrats are putting an end to the reckless “borrow-and-spend” policies of the Bush Administration and the Republican Congress and reinstating the principle that led us from record deficits to record surpluses in the Clinton Administration.

door and beware of dog signs are just two ways to make it look like a dog lives at your house. For personal safety for women, he suggests that you never get in a car with a would-be attacker and run away if you are confronted. If unable to run, you may want to try to get your attacker talking by “smoozing” him. This can create a rapport with the attacker and make it harder for him to hurt you. If all else fails, you
should be armed with pepper spray for safety purposes. Byron presented a difficult topic in a funny and humorous fashion that had us all on our toes and waiting for his next piece of advice. For more information about personal safety, you can visit reach Byron at www. californiacrimefight.com.
The start of the holiday giving season will include Operation Gobble Annual event hosted by Assemblymember Tony Mendoza (D-Norwalk). This year the Assemblymember will distribute over 100 turkeys to four (4) local area nonprofits on Monday, November 16th beginning at 10:00 a.m. in Norwalk and ending at 2:00 p.m. in Long Beach. Each year charitable organizations that help serve family needs are pre-selected to participate in the holiday event. The organizations receive the turkeys along with other Thanksgiving food items and distribute to needy familes. This year’s participants include the Rio Hondo Temporary Shelter in Norwalk, The Hawaiian Gardens Food Bank in Hawaiian Gardens, the Los Nietos Food Pantry in Whittier, and Su Casa Battered Women’s Shelter in Long Beach. “The holidays are a time to reflect and remember families who are less for-

Stater Bros. Annual Holiday Giving Campaign To Feed Over One Million People In Need In Southern California Stater Bros. Charities, is launching an urgently needed campaign to help local families who are faced with hunger this Holiday Season. “Harvesting Hope in our Community” will provide cash and food donations to local food banks and emergency food providers that are currently experiencing an increase of at least 30% in requests for assistance this year. Some organizations have been forced to close while others are facing long lines of families in need. Because of this, the coordinated campaign will run through December 27th, for an entire two months, to assist with hunger relief efforts in the communities where Stater Bros. customers and employees live and work. “I always tell my employees to do the right thing for the right reason,” said Jack H. Brown, Chairman and CEO of Stater Bros. Markets. “Helping families in need
this Holiday Season is definitely the right thing to do.” Throughout the months of November and December, Stater Bros. Charities will be presenting over $350,000 in total donations to various Southern California food banks and self-help organizations. In addition to cash donations, all 167 Stater Bros. Supermarkets will have food barrels in the front of the store to collect non-perishable food items for families in need in the local communities. Some of the products in greatest demand include canned fruits and vegetables, whole grains (such as oatmeal, crackers, cereal and pasta), canned meats, canned or dry beans, and shelf-stable dairy products. This food will be shared with regional food banks and charities to assist those families who are struggling to make ends meet.

Cerritos Survives Battle From Pasadena Poly, Advances to CIF Finals By Loren Kopff An hour before this past Tuesday night’s volleyball match against Pasadena Poly, Cerritos head coach Khanh Vo admitted he was quite tired, probably because his team was about to hit the court for the 32nd time including tournaments. Vo will have to catch up on the much needed sleep at a later time because for the second time in school history, the Lady Dons are moving on to the California Interscholastic Federation-Southern Section championships. Cerritos, the third ranked team in Division III-A, outlasted the second ranked Panthers 25-23, 23-25, 25-21, 25-17. The last time the Lady Dons went this far was in 1995 where the team fell to Paso Robles in four games in the Division IV finals. Junior middle blocker Jessica Wu had a team-high 21 kills, just the second time this season she has had at least 20 kills, senior middle blocker Jenny Ho 14 more kills and junior outside hitter Cherise Kam added another 12 kills. Cerritos, the Suburban League champions who are now 23-2 overall, will face top ranked Mayfield tonight at Cypress College. The Cubs won the Prep League and will sport a 22-5 record in the finals. And to think that when Vo took over the girls program in 2007, he wasn’t sure about coaching a girls team, since he had been and is still the Cerritos boys coach and was more comfortable with their system. “Sometimes I still don’t know,” Vo said. “You see the four or five-point runs that we give here and there and just some of the errors that we make, I still don’t understand. But I’m learning and I feel I can get a little bit better.” Cerritos never trailed in the first set and led 18-10 before the Panthers made their first run of the match. Alexis Genske served four straight points, then later in the set, an ace from Rose Dicovitsky made it a 21-20 affair. From that point on, the two teams traded side outs until Kam’s third kill won the set. Two items of note from the first set involved Ho, who has been the leading hitter all season. First, she began the set by serving instead of later in the rotation, or sometimes not at all. Second, she was limited to just one kill while Wu picked up the slack and recorded seven kills. Ho didn’t begin a set as the first server until the fourth set of last Saturday night’s quarterfinal match at San Dimas. “I told her before the game we have to play normal,” Vo said. “All season long, Jenny usually swings. But she was thinking too much about the block. After a while, I told her, ‘you won this many games for me swinging. Let’s just swing’. I think she picked up her game and then the team followed.” “I’m just overwhelmed right now because Pasadena Poly was really tough today,” Ho said. “They blocked me, so I basically did not do very well in the first game.
I had to rely on my team. I’m just happy my team pulled through it. “They’re a really good blocking team and they found me,” she continued. “I tried to do all different kinds of hits but they still got me. I give props to them.” Pasadena Poly made some adjustments in the second set and went on a few mini runs but it was Cerritos who was looking to go up 2-0 when it had a lead of 22-19. Then, for the second time in the past four nights, an opponent was able to rally back and steal the set. Julie Brown served three points to put her team in front 23-22. After a serving error, kills from Dicovitsky and Genske tied the match. To this point, Ho was still being contained with just half a dozen kills. But Kam, Wu and strong serving would pave the way in the final two sets. Again, Cerritos never trailed in the third set as Wu and Kam put down six and four kills respectively with each also serving an ace. Senior setter Samantha Adams also had an ace, a block and a kill for three more points. With the Lady Dons clinging to a 20-19 lead, Wu’s 16th kill gave Kam the serve where she had her third ace of the match. By now, the Panthers were running out of steam and it showed in the fourth set as the hosts, who were backed by a vociferous crowd in their capacity-filled section of the gymnasium, bolted out to leads of 13-7 and 20-12. The dagger in the heart may have come from senior defensive specialist Lisa Hom, who had back to back aces which made the score 19-11. She finished with eight aces on the night and leads the team with 81 aces. “She came through,” Vo said. “In the first three rounds of the playoffs, she would be 50-50 on her serves. Today, she came through big time, especially in the last game.” Kam led Cerritos with 37 digs while senior outside hitter Jackie Trimble added 19 digs. Genske led the Panthers with 21 kills and two blocks while Ali Binney pitched in with seven kills and four blocks. “I thought their block was big, initially,
COMMUNITY NEWS GROUP • NOVEMBER 20, 2009 11 and then I realized their block was big all around,” Vo said. “So [I thought] we’ll just go out with Jenny swinging. The other coach and I were playing a chess match here and there and I thought Poly did a good job adjusting. We just had to keep FAMILY OWNED AND OPERATED going back and forth. We made each other look bad at times.” Bathroom remodeling Since posting 16 sweeps in their past & plumBing repair 17 non tournament matches before the CULTURED MARBLE, ONYX & FLORENTINE quarterfinals, the Lady Dons have had consecutive four-set matches.

LIC# 516664 “We’re not the biggest team, we’re not tall all the way around,” Vo said. “So, we have to rely on ball control, serving and serve receive. “We would like to [think we’re ready],” Vo added. “When we go into training camp and preseason and regular season, we train for playoffs.

Continued from page 1 also by a gynecologist another specialized oncosurgeon, who worked together to try and decide whether radical surgery or chemo would be the best option for the old and overweight patient, who also suffered from heart and other health problems. At the end of the surgery, I started to feel hot and dizzy so I headed back upstairs to eat, drink and rest. Later at the other hospital, I talked again to the two medical students. Surprisingly, when I asked them what fields of medicine they planned to pursue, I was surprised to find that they were both planning on entering gynecology, the field Shobhnakaki is in as well. When I asked them why, they told me that it was considered an “acceptable” field in medicine for women here in India. Their parents don’t even want them to go outside India, not even to go work in the United States. August 29, 2009 Today I got to see more of the everyday interaction between doctor and patient while I sat in Kaka’s office for a couple of hours. I saw two girls get their post-operational wounds dressed. One girl had had to have a cyst on her ear removed after she had gotten it pierced. Another girl had to get several stitches on her eyelid under her brow; she had been injured while playing. Later, the doctor consulted with a couple of sadhvis, Jain religious figures that have given up all worldly attachments by taking diksha. They scheduled a cyst removal and a hysterectomy. Later that day, Kaka took me down with him to watch a minnow operation. It was for a pregnant woman who’s OS under the cervix had opened prematurely and would have to be closed shut until it was time to deliver the baby. I was able to handle the entire procedure but at the very end I had to sit down because I had dizziness and felt hot. My blood pressure and pulse were all really low so I had to sit down and drink water for a while. Kaki told me that I had suffered from some kind of shock because I was not used to seeing such procedures. But I don’t understand how I got though everything else and have only just had some shock issues. I realize now that my current environment as a whole isn’t doing me any good. There’s constant rain, its humid and hot and sticky and I’m never really feeling 100%. I felt embarrassed at my weakness, but Kaka told me that what happened was common during the training of many medicals and nurses. I know for a fact that I am not a squeamish person and had I overall been feeling better, I wouldn’t have had any issues. I was watching many procedures without any problems, but all of a sudden the dizzy spell hit. This environment as a whole is brutal and must definitely take some getting used to. ROAD continued from Page 1 that possibility and it was under discussion with federal officials. Councilman Jim Edwards noted the project includes construction of 14 wheelchair accessible ramps that are in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act. Planning Commissioner Ken Cha told the council he was pleased that the project included the installation of concrete where the 91 freeway off ramp and Bloomfield Avenue junction. He said not only is the car traffic heavy but truck traffic is very heavy with the trucks often hitting the curbs and center divider when they make their turns off the freeway onto Bloomfield. Gallucci said by putting down concrete at the intersection it will give it a much longer lifespan against the 18 wheelers who are making a turn to the city’s industrial park. Concerning the widening of the off ramps at the intersection, that is a state responsibility. However, the city can work with them and encourage them to do it. However, we are working with them on it and they do recognize this is an issue with the number of trucks that come off that intersection. He said work on the road construction would begin after the Christmas-New Year holidays. In other business the council voted to increase the award from $10,000 to $25,000 for the arrest of the killers who shot 17-year old Jonathan Muse on Aug. 20, 2008 in a drive-by shooting. Gallucci said while the killing took place in the city of Artesia on Norwalk Boulevard under the 91-freeway overpass, the victim was the grandson of long-time Cerritos resident Marie O’Donnell. At the council’s Oct. 24 meeting, Mrs. O’Donnell asked the council if the reward could be raised. “My family is looking for closure,” she told LCCNG, “and we won’t have it until the killers are caught and sentenced.” Greg Berg, Cerritos Director of Community and Safety Services, said the Los Angeles County Sheriff Department Homicide Division is handling the case, which he described as “ongoing.” Asked if reward increases have let authorities to a killer(s), he said it was hard to tell. “Sometimes it takes several years before a case like this is resolved.” NIXON continued from Page 1 ing side by side with professionals. La Opera performances attempt to also teach students California history and about the lives of important persons who have attributed to the state’s development. While LA Opera provided the materials for the costumes, it was up to the children to make their costumes in an after school workshop designed by the LA Opera.
