Hawaiian Gardens residents turned out in numbers to celebrate National Night Out 2010, with many participat-ing in the march from the Civic Center to the Hawaiian Gardens Library/Public Safety Center on Carson.

Parents took a night out from their normal routine to visit with their neigh-bors. Families began to trickle into the Library/Public Safety Center parking lot between 5:00 – 5:30 p.m. Volunteers began to put the food out on the tables while others started the barbecue fire.

Present were Mayor Farfan, Mayor Pro Tem Michiko S. Oyama-Canada, and Councilmembers Mike Gomez and Reynaldo Rodriguez. Councilmember Barry Bruce was not present.

The program is part of the national Night Out designed to promote neigh-borhood spirit and a police-community partnership to fight crime. Mayor Victor Farfan greeted the residents saying he was born and raised in Hawaiian

Norwalk City Council splits on property maintenance enforcement fees

By Shelley Henderson

At its regular meeting on August 3, the Norwalk City Council split two-two on a request to waive fees related to property maintenance enforcement at 16105-16115 Norwalk Blvd. Council-man Rick Ramirez was absent again.

The property had numerous im-provements, such as a walk-in freezer and window security bars, constructed without permits.

The owner of the property and his son, Manuel F. Garcia and Rudy Garcia, were present. (The property owners are not related to Norwalk City Manager Ernie Garcia.) Mr. Garcia in-sisted that he was not a criminal despite the court ruling that imposed a $750 court fine, a $100 payment to the State Victim’s Restitution Fund and $4,000 to reimburse the City, payable by Janu-ary 14, 2011. He asked the Council members to help him.

Councilwoman Cheri Kelley re-minded the audience that the property maintenance problem had been kick-ing around since 2006. She said that she could not justify waiving the fees

because “it’s the people’s money.” She moved to deny the waiver.

Mayor Gordon Stefenhagen said that he felt waiving the fees would present a poor precedent. He seconded the motion to deny the waiver.

Commenting on the motion, Coun-cilman Jesse Luera noted that the property owner had to handle not only upgrading the property to meet changing code but also inconsistent or incomplete inspection requirements.

In his turn, Councilman Michael Mendez confirmed with staff that the $4,000 would reimburse budgeted staff costs rather than extra expenses. He noted that the property owner had never tried to avoid his responsibility. Upgrad-ing the property under trying economic conditions just took a long time.

Four different motions were put forward. All failed on a two-two split, including a motion to table the item to be considered at a later meeting and a motion to cut the fees in half. Unless the Council makes a specific request, the item will not come back for another vote. The property owner remains liable to pay the Court-imposed $4,000.

Following the successful example of residents in an area north of Cerritos College, residents of an area south of campus requested and received approval of a preferential parking zone in the 11200-11500 blocks of Elmhurst and the 16300-16400 blocks of Harvest Avenue, Sylvanwood Avenue, McRae Avenue and Gridley Road.

Three residents spoke in favor of the request, asserting that students blocked driveways, loitered late at night, used foul language, parked on corners, held tailgate parties, repaired their cars and left trash.

Councilman Mendez pressed City staff to tow cars once the preferential parking takes effect rather than merely issue $40 tickets that may be shrugged off.

Councilwoman Kelley expressed disapproval of the lax attitude of the College towards the behavior of stu-dents parking in neighborhoods off campus.

After voting unanimously to approve the measure, Council instructed staff to post signs as soon as possible in light of the start of a new semester on August 16.

In response to reports of at least one curb-painting crew making the rounds recently, Councilwoman Kelley wanted Norwalk residents to be aware that City-authorized curb painters are not due until Spring 2011.

Pastor Reggie Bowie of New Har-vest Christian Fellowship Church gave the invocation. Kurt Anderson, Direc-tor of Community Development for the City of Norwalk, led the flag salute.

[See BUDGET Page 13]

The Cerritos City Council/Rede-velopment Agency adopted a $118.88 million combined finan-

cial program for fiscal year 2010-2011 at its June 24 meeting. The program includes a City budget of $87.63 mil-lion, Redevelopment Agency budget of $27.75 million, and low- and moderate-income housing capital improvement budget of $3.5 million. The new fiscal year began on July 1, 2010 and will conclude on June 30, 2011.

The budget maintains the City’s exceptional level of municipal services while taking into account the reces-sionary economy. The City’s operating budget of $86 million, excluding capital projects, reflects a 1.1 percent decrease from the 2009-2010 adopted budget. Reductions were once again made in ex-penditures for categories such as travel

and meetings, professional services, publications and dues, special supplies and office supplies.

The budget also reflects a reduc-tion in the allocation for City Council travel and meetings as directed by the City Council, resulting in a savings of $50,170.Capital Improvements

Within the Redevelopment Agency’s $27.7 million budget, approximately $682,000 has been dedicated to capital improvement projects. Within the City’s $87.63 million budget, $1.6 million has been earmarked for capital projects. Some of the major City and Agency projects include:• $522,500 to install photovoltaic equip-ment at the Cerritos Corporate Yard to generate solar power (funded by a federal grant);

•Neighborhood park improvements including $55,000 for Gridley Park play equipment and $52,000 for the replace-ment of a movable wall that bisects the Cerritos Park East’s Community Center’s multi-purpose room;•$500,000 for the design and construc-tion of mall improvements at the Los Cerritos Center.To comply with state-mandated require-ments for low- and moderate-income housing, the Redevelopment Agency has allocated $3.5 million for the Cuesta Villas affordable senior housing project.Legislative and Administrative

Legislative and administrative oper-ating plans outlined in the budget total $2.26 million. This reflects the entire amount required to fund the ongoing operations of the City Council, City Manager, City Attorney and City Clerk,

Austin Khym was one of 950 high school juniors selected from all over California for a one-week-long im-mersion into a mock political process. Khym, who will be a senior at Cerritos High School in the fall, has always had ambitions for public service. So it was a dream come true when he was elected as one of 24 state senators, and desig-nated as the highest-ranking student among 54 juniors, who represented American Legion's Norwalk Post.

He learned the state's political struc-ture and got to introduce two bills. He spent a whole week on the campus of CSU Sacramento that included a day's session at the Capitol. “I’m grateful to Norwalk Post and the state's Legion for the best political exercise ever for high school kids."

Khym has participated in numer-ous leadership and political programs including CORO, a program that taught him the problems that were crippling the city of Los Angeles and what pos-sible solutions there could be.

One LA Teen Leadership Program united him with high school students from across the surrounding communi-ties to explore, learn and develop into future leaders Workshops included ac-tivities that encouraged team-building, critical thinking, communication skills, opportunities to learn about community issues and interviews with community, business and civic leaders.

The Constitutional Rights Founda-tion's Expanding Horizon's Leadership and Internship Program offered him the opportunity to be a paid intern at the Los Angeles County Superior Court D.A.'s Office.

Khym was one of 50 California high

school Asians selected to participate in the Asian Pacific Youth Leadership Project held in Sacramento for four days where he got a taste of state politics for the first time. Here he was selected Chairman of the biggest committee. His

numerous achievements also include an Internship at Rep. Napolitano's office and participation in Assemblymember Tony Mendoza’s Young Legislator’s Program.

He has won many awards includ-ing15 Model United Nations conference awards, and he is the Cerritos High Associated Student Body Vice President for next year. He helped in the cam-

paigns of Cerritos Mayor Joseph Cho, Councilmemebrs Carole Chen and Jim Edwards, and La Palma City council candidate Steve Hwangbo.

Khym’s father Do Khym said, “He is not only interested in the political

process, but my son is also the best lineman at CHS!” Khym plans to attend Tulane University or Berkeley when he graduates.

About California Boys State American Legion Boys State is

among the most respected and selective educational programs of government in-struction for U.S. high school students.

It includes a participatory program in which students become part of the oper-ation of local, county and state govern-ment. Boys State was founded in 1935 to counter the socialism-inspired Young Pioneer Camps. The program was the idea of two Illinois Legionnaires, Hayes Kennedy and Harold Card, who orga-nized the first Boys State at the Illinois State Fairgrounds in Springfield.

American Legion Auxiliary spon-sors a separate but similar program for young women called Girls State.

At Boys State, participants learn the rights, privileges and responsibili-ties of franchised citizens. The training is objective and centers on the structure of city, county and state governments. Operated by students elected to various offices, Boys State activities include legislative sessions, court proceedings, law-enforcement presentations, assem-blies, bands, choruses and recreational programs.

Legion posts select high-school juniors to attend the program. A spon-soring post, a local business or another community-based organization usually assists in funding the students once they are selected.

Boys State programs currently exist in all Legion departments except Hawaii. As separate corporations, Boys State programs vary in content and method of procedure, but each adheres to the same basic concept: teaching government from the township to the state level.

OPINIONS aNd LETTERSRe: Sánchez statement on federal rul-ing on Arizona Law

In response to Linda Sanchez, our representative in Congress, and her state-ment regarding the ridiculous federal ruling that blocked Arizona from trying to protect its borders and citizens (SB 1070), here is my take on it.

A number of years ago when I went to charge something, many stores began asking for my I.D. Did I mind? No, I did not mind because it protected my credit card from being used by someone else. Many more years ago, when I was trav-eling between Oceanside and San Clem-ente, I was stopped at the Border Patrol Checkpoint, and my car was inspected. Did I mind? No, I did not mind because I was not doing anything wrong, and they were protecting California from anyone bringing drugs into the state, etc. Those are just a few reasons why I think that Arizona's new law is great, and other states should follow suit.

In this day and age of young male Arab terrorists, Mexican drug runners, economic issues with illegal aliens, it is time that we protected our borders. Ra-cial profiling is a great tool. The law in Arizona is just enforcing laws already on the books, and is just common sense. It is time for some common sense in our country.

Re: $enate Republican$ block political di$clo$ure bill

It is interesting to note that the at-tack against Senate Republicans for fili-bustering the so-called “Disclosure Act” (renamed recently the Disclose Act) that certain groups above 1 million members like SEIU, MoveOn.org, ACORN, and oddly the NRA and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce were among those exempted

from many if not all of the provisions of this bill, but local political clubs if not part of such a group of would, i.e. the Cerritos Republican Club and the Hu-bert Humphrey Democrat Club, as well as numerous single issue groups like the Pacific Justice institute, Stand to Reason Ministries, etc... It is also interesting to note that only 2 Republicans from decid-edly Democrat dominated districts (Jo-seph Cao of Louisiana & Mike Castle of Delaware) voted for it in the House, while 36 Democrats voted against it in the House.

Now I personally have nothing against disclosing public information of this nature as it already has to be disclosed to the Fair Political Practices Commission here in California, so long as the playing field is even for both small and large political interests, but this bill, voted for by our dear Congresswoman Linda Sanchez would tip the scales of justice towards the larger more political-ly connected and away from the start-ups and smaller independent groups, essen-tially forcing them to be more controlled and therefore less independent.

Of course, as the saying goes, be careful what you wish for, because you might just get it could apply here, where instead of hundreds of Independent TEA (Taxed Enough Already) Party-like Groups, one to three large groups that could increase the effectiveness of the whole may end up being generated by this new law. Also, instead of a dozen relatively small conservative legal groups specializing in certain areas of the law taking on the ACLU, one to two more ef-fective and powerful groups may emerge as a result of this very law, thanks mostly to the loopholes carved out for existing large liberal behemoths that have existed for over a decade some going back to the original Progressive Era of the 1910’s.

So, I ask LCCN to review the lan-guage of the Disclose Act (H.R. 5175), which would not limit the political speech of Organized Labor but would limit the speech of the Nation Federation of Inde-pendent Businesses, would not limit the political speech of the Humane Society but would limit the political speech of the Farm Bureau, the Western Dairyman’s Association, and the California Milk Ad-visory Board. In a world where Big has shown it is not better, who cares about level playing fields and fair political dis-course certainly not the majority of the Democrats in both Houses of Congress, and apparently not LCCN. H.R. 5175 is the latest in a long line of thousand page incumbent protection acts, masquerad-ing as true political reform. It will not be the last.

Vicki Johnson is an ESL teacher at ABC Adult School. One of the things she likes to do is knit. She discovered that some of her students also like to knit. A perfect place to gather, visit and knit was found at The Coffee Grind located on the shopping center on the corner of Carmenita Road and 183rd Street. The group consists of 12 members, four who were on vacation the morning I interviewed them. They meet every Friday morning. “We all know how to knit,” said Johnson, “but sometimes we need help with a new stitch. Someone in the group always seems to know what to do.” The other ladies present agreed but said Johnson was their leader. “Mary, who owns the Grind reserves a corner for us every Friday,” the women explained.

Cerritos College hosts Norwalk middle school students in summer math/science academyBy Aya Abelon

Cerritos College hosted middle school students from the Norwalk-La Mirada Unified School District in a Summer Math/Science Academy from June 28 to July 1.The college’s award-winning teacher training program Teacher TRAC and healthcare professional preparation program Project HOPE partnered with California State University, Long Beach (CSULB) and Norwalk-La Mirada Unified School District to offer the Academy to address both math/science preparation and increase the pipeline of qualified math and science teachers and health professionals. For one week, 46 middle school GATE students in the Norwalk-La Mirada Unified School District attended the math and science curricular enrichment program. The students participated in

hand-on, interactive, inquiry based ac-tivities which aimed to strengthen their preparations and motivation to continue pursuing a background in math and/or science.Cerritos College Vice President of Academic Affairs Bill Farmer, Dean of Science, Engineering and Mathematics Dr. Carolyn Chambers and Director of Teacher TRAC Sue Parsons welcomed the participating students.Also in attendance from the Norwalk-La Mirada USD were Dr. Ruth Pérez, su-perintendent of the Norwalk-La Mirada USD, and Chris Forehan, assistant su-perintendent, curriculum & instruction.“Summer is a very important time for the students,” said Dr. Pérez. “Par-ticipating in this summer enrichment program keeps them on top of the game when they return to school in Septem-ber. It also gives them an opportunity to think about college.”Through active, inquiry based activities and collaborative learning 48 middle school students were afforded the op-portunity to develop conceptual un-derstanding of major math and science concepts, and relate and apply them to modeling and solving problems.Lead professors for the Academy in-cluded teachers from the school district and Cerritos College faculty members.

Two of the lead professors, Patty Bu-chanan and Tami Francis were Teacher TRAC graduates.The Academy also offered an invaluable professional development opportunity for pre-service teachers, local teachers, and college professors. Four Cerritos College prospective teachers par-ticipated as assistant professors in the Academy. They worked alongside lead professors and facilitated small group explorations and labs.“I had a great experience working with all of the teachers (current and pro-spective) preparing for the workshops and during the workshops,” said Lora Carreon, Cerritos College math instruc-tor who served as a lead math professor for the Academy.During the workshops, the prospective teachers get the classroom experience and the opportunity to work with stu-dents from all backgrounds.The Academy gives the prospective teachers an opportunity to observe how thementor professor approaches different issues that come up in the classroom such as classroom management and students learning at different paces, ac-cording to Carreon.The summer enrichment program was funded by the Math Science Teacher

landscaping gardens and designing floral arrangements.

When in his mid-twenties he left Den-mark to visit his brother in Long Beach. What was planned as a short visit became an extended stay and he soon found work in a nursery. Within a year he was prom-ised a job managing Diegardo Nursery in Santa Barbara but would first return to Denmark to get his visa and work papers. Returning to California in 1952, he began his job at the nursery. However, he felt a calling to return to the Long Beach area.

One evening, while at a square dance he met his first wife, June. Within a year they were married and began looking for a place to open their own nursery. They found a piece of property for lease in Ar-tesia on the northwest corner of Roseton Avenue and Artesia Boulevard. In 1957 the nursery moved across the street to the southwest corner of Artesia and Roseton Avenue.

With a construction boom during the 1960’s, the nursery provided custom-ers with plants to landscape their yards. Houseplants were also becoming popu-lar and customers could now decorate both the inside and outside of their new homes.

During this time Andy and June be-

came involved in city events and clubs. Andy was proud to say he was Artesia’s first “Citizen of the Year,” as the previous year’s recipient, Coun-cilmember Sally Flowers grand-father, who was named “Man of the Year”

By now they were raising three daughters, run-ning a business that was open sev-en days a week, and very involved in the city. Andy was also an active member of four Danish Clubs.

In 1985, after 28 years in the re-tail nursery trade Andy and June sold their nurs-ery to Armstrong Garden Center. In 2007 the gates to the nursery was

closed for the last time. June passed away in 1990 and Andy remarried Elly. They were married 14 years before Elly

passed away in 2006 from a

heart attack. Andy turned 87

on July 12.married 14 years before Elly on July 12.

Kids’ Musical Theatre Summer Season’s “Peter Pan” flies highBy Jerry Bernstein

Kids Musical Theatre director Athena Diaz and Choreographer Anisa Diaz dedicated this summer’s show to their Morfar (grandfather) Andy Andersen who passed away on July 24. “We will always appreciate his support of the Kids’ Musical Theatre,” they said. “Without him we would not have a large air-conditioned rehearsal room

or swimming pool and fun yard for the actors to enjoy after rehearsals. Our thoughts and prayers will always be with him. Vi elsker dig.”

A pleasant surprise awaited me when I was invited to a performance of the Kids’ Musical Theater presenta-tion of Peter Pan. The musical was held in the back yard of the Diaz home on Ralston Avenue in Artesia. Chairs were set up for the audience to sit on and a ground level home made stage beck-oned the players. The evening turned out to be fun filled and enjoyable as the players brought Peter Pan to life.

In an introduction to the play, Diaz cautioned the audience that they would have to use their imagination, as the sets were homemade. The players, whose ages ranged from four years to 14, put

on a show that the audience not only enjoyed but also captured their imagina-tion as they were carried away to Never Never Land home of Peter Pan and the Lost Boys.

Director Athena Diaz, who is 17 years old, introduced herself prior to the curtain going up and told the audience that four years ago her dream came true when the theater opened with the musi-cal “Annie”

This year with her sister Anisa, who has recently taken on the role of choreographer, they held 25 two hours rehearsals during the summer. She said they had an air-conditioned rehearsal

hall and after rehearsal swimming pool to swim in.

Diaz said she has found the kids are more comfortable when the parents are not allowed into rehearsal as they develop their characters. The parents upon seeing their children on stage for the first time have a look of surprise and amazement on their faces on opening night.

Most of the young players who perform have not had much theatre experience but end up doing a great job. Giving an outstanding performance was Lindsey Liebert who played Peter Pan. She was not only funny but convincing she would remain a little boy and never grow up to be a man. He rendition of the song, “I’m never going to grow up” was astounding.

Anthony Navarro gave a good per-formance as Captain Hook whose fear of the alligator that pursued him was ob-vious. He explained to two of his crew members the alligator liked his hand so much he would have eaten more but swallowed a clock instead. “Every time he comes after me I hear the clock – TIC TOC Tic Toc. It Peter Pan’s fault,” he angrily asserted. Friends of Never-land’s lost boys, the Indians, provided additional humor to the script.

Eventually the time came when Wendy told Peter and the boys she must return home with her brothers. The boys, who she has mothered, asked if they could return with her, she answered yes. Perhaps her parents would adopt them. Peter informed them he would not be going with them.

Years later Peter returned to the nursery and found Wendy, now grown up with her daughter. “I can’t go back with you Peter, I’m an adult. I have my own daughter,” she explained to Peter. The scene ended with Peter leaving the nursery with the daughter. Somehow Wendy knew her daughter world be safe and would return home.

Artesia Councilman John Lyon commented during intermission, “This is much better then having them do nothing during the summer, and there is talent here,” he said.

Councilmember Sally Flowers added, “For many of the youngsters this is their first introduction to the field of musical entertainment.” The musical was divided into two acts. The first act included The Darling Nursery, Neverland, and Home Un-derground. Act II included a scene on Hook’s Pirate Ship, Return from the ship to Neverland, The Nursery where the boys sang, “We will grow up,” and the Nursery years later.Musical numbers included Tender Shep-herd, I gotta Crow, I’m Flying. Ugh-A-Wug-A-Wigwam, Bloody Buccaneers, Hook’s Tango, Wendy, Hook’s Taran-tella, I won’t grow up, and Ugh-A-Wug, Ugh-A-Wug-A-Pirates, and Hook’s Waltz,

The Dragon Boat Festival commemorates the life and death of the ancient patriot-poet, Qu Yuan, who lived from 340-278 B.C. during the War-ring States period of China. Qu Yuan was a minister who advocated reforms in his home state of Chu. The King fell under the influence of other corrupt, jealous ministers who slandered Qu Yuan. He refused to listen to Qu Yuan's advice and instead ban-ished him from the state of Chu.

Qu Yuan went into exile in the state of Jiangnan. While in exile, he spent much of this time collecting legends and rearranging folk odes while travel-ling the countryside, producing some of the greatest poetry in Chinese literature while expressing his fervent love for his state and his deepest concern for its fu-ture. In 278, Qu Yuan's home had been invaded. Overcome by sadness, he com-

mitted suicide by throwing himself into the Miluo River on the fifth day of the fifth moon. The people of Chu, learning of his suicide, rushed out in their fish-ing boats to the middle of the river and tried desperatedly to save him. They beat drums and splashed water with their paddles in order to keep the fish and evil spirits from his body, and later

on, they scattered rice into the water to prevent him from suffering hunger and also to feed the fishes in the river so that they would not devour his body.

The act of search-ing for his body in the boats gradually turned into the tradi-tion of the Dragon boat race, which is held every year on the day of his sui-cide. Dragon boats are raced on rivers

in China and the surrounding coun-tries. During these festivals, people

will throw "zhongzi" (rice dumplings) into the river to honor the memory of Qu Yuan.

Even before Qu Yuan, the fifth moon was known as a time of danger. In ancient China, the hot, humid weather of summer was a time of pestilence and disease. To ward off illness, people at-tached bundles of artemisia and cala-mus to their homes, and posted pictures of the demon catcher Zhong Kue. The people considered themselves to be the descendants of dragons and so during the fifth moon, they feel it is appropri-ate to paddle boats with dragon designs and make sacrifices of zhonzi to cajole the river dragons.

COMMUNITY SPORTSSouthern California hosts USA/ASA 18-Under “A” Nationals, finally!!!

By Loren Kopff

HEMET-By now you have heard the famous saying from the movie Field of Dreams, ‘if you build it, they will come’. That has certainly been the case for the current USA/Amateur Softball Association 18-Under “A” Fast Pitch National Championship tournament in Hemet this week.

For the first time ever, at least for the past 15 years, the ASA has made its way to sunny Southern California for its biggest summer tournament. One of the

two host sites, the Diamond Valley Lake Community Park on the southwestern edge of the San Jacinto Mountains, has been open for 11 months but it took

much longer when talks of hosting the prestigious tournament first surfaced.

When Larry Minor, Sr. spoke at the opening ceremonies this past Sun-day evening at Hemet High School, he could hardly get the words out as he was all choked up knowing that a longtime dream had come true. He, along with his son Larry, who is the president and general manager of the Minor’s Gold travel ball team that is primarily based out of San Jacinto, have been instrumental in bringing travel ball teams to Southern Califor-nia for a national tournament of this proportion.

“He’s worked awful hard his whole life and he’s given so much to our community, the Hemet-San Jacinto area,” Minor said of his father. “He’s been on the Valley-Wide [Recreation and Park District] board for many years and this has been a dream of his to actually be able to host [this tournament]. A lot of people put their emotions on their sleeves; he wears it in his heart.”

Since 1998, only two California cities have hosted the USA/ASA 18-Under “A” Nationals: Sacramento (1998) and Clovis (2004). Last year,

the Artesia Punishers went 1-2 in Las Vegas. The year before, they went 3-2 in Moline, IL and in 2007 were the na-tional champions, held in Bryan/College Station, TX.

“Personally, it meant a lot that we were home and everybody got to play in their home [state],” said Artesia Punish-ers manager Bob Medina. “You get a lot more fans coming out, a lot more relatives. So it’s exciting to be here. I’m very excited for the kids.”

Minor, who is also the vice presi-dent on the Valley-Wide Recreation and Park District board, said that he was approached by ASA officials 18 months ago as far as hosting this year’s event. For an area, or specific city to host such an event accommodating up to ap-proximately 150 teams, there needs to

be anywhere from 11-15 playing fields. At Diamond Valley Lake Community Park, there are eight fields with another three fields at Winchester Park, about seven miles away. This year’s event will host 103 teams from over 20 states. In contrast, the 16-Under National’s in Bryan/College Station has 15 fields at four different sites for 160 teams.

“This new facility we’re using here, Diamond Valley Lake Community Park, has been in the works for six to seven years,” Minor said. “When we knew it was going to be a year within comple-tion, an opportunity came up to host a national tournament for ASA and it all came together.[Tournament director] David Marin and the folks from South-ern California ASA contacted me and asked if we were interested in it and I said, ‘yes, absolutely’. We haven’t had one here and it would be good for our

community.”With the 18-Under National’s having

been played at such locations as Co-lumbus, GA (2005), Eden Prairie, MN (1996), Garland, TX (2003), Normal, IL (2000), Owensboro, KY (2006), Rockford, IL (2002), Salem, VA (2001), Sioux Falls, SD (1999), grumbling about the Cerritos-Artesia area being a host in the near future have already surfaced. The economic impact would be beyond beneficial as both Medina and Minor have stated.

“That would be awesome,” Medina said. “I think that if the Cerritos-Artesia area would be able to do something like that…the one thing that it brings and generates to the cities is $2 to $2.5 mil-lion in revenue. I know we have plenty of fields and plenty of stuff to do. We have a beautiful place.”

“In our whole tri-city area, the Hemet-Murrieta-Temecula area, we’re hoping that it will bring in at least $2 to $3 million worth of economic impact as far as hotels and food,” Minor said.

“The impact as far as dollars-wise is the same regardless of where you go. But, we’re just thrilled to have it here. It comes around very seldom that South-ern California is awarded a national tournament of this magnitude.”

This past Sunday, the teams, parents and other relatives, umpires and other top officials were treated to a fantastic opening ceremony highlighted by three skydivers descending on the football field at Hemet High School and one of the biggest “Cha Cha Slides” among teenage girls. It was a vast difference from 2007 when the Punishers were in Texas. The opening ceremonies there were held inside the Texas A & M Aggie Softball Complex and everyone was treated to some of the Lone Star state’s cuisine.

“Our team loves to eat, so Texas was probably the best one because you had all steak all over the place,” Medina said. “I think each place puts on a very good opening ceremony. I was very

impressed with the skydivers that came down. Everybody brings something unique to the table and I think that’s very nice.”

Artesia Punishers 18-Under squad go on the offensive attack in early gamesBy Loren Kopff

HEMET-With the 2010 USA/Amateur Softball Association 18-Under “A” Fast Pitch National Championship tournament under way, the Artesia Pun-ishers have definitely brought their bats. Through the two pool play games, held at Winchester Park seven miles away, and the first two games of the double elimination format at the 11-month

old Diamond Valley Lake Community Park, the Punishers have blistered their opponents to the tune of 51 hits and a 408 batting average.

This past Wednesday night, the Punishers were embattled in a late night affair with the Orland Park (IL) Sparks that went to the international tiebreaker rule. When it was over, the Punishers had rallied for a 6-5 victory thanks to a bas-es loaded fielder’s choice from Natalia Morales (South East High) which allowed fellow high school teammate Arren Nunez to score when the throw home was under the catcher’s

glove. The victory kept the Punishers in the winner’s bracket as they played the Birmingham Vipers on Aug. 5.

“It was one of the plans that we had; staying focused regardless,” said Artesia Punishers manager Bob Medina. “I hoped that we could get in a predica-ment where we have to come back be-cause they’ll know by staying focused, we can come back and win. Offensively, I believe this is one of the better teams here and we get things done.”

Artesia was down to the Sparks, who hail from just southwest of Chicago, 5-3 entering the bottom of the sev-enth. With Brittany Colenzo (Downey High/Vanguard University) standing on second, she moved to third when Rochelle Rivera (Fountain Valley High) was safe on a throwing error. Colenzo would then score on a fielder’s choice from Mahrisch Medina (Mayfair High/East Carolina University). Nunez fol-lowed that up with a double to the right field gap which tied the contest. A pair

of intentional walks to Sarah Carrasco (Lakewood High) and Jessica Roper (Mayfair High/California State Univer-sity, San Marcos) loaded the bases and set the stage for Morales, who con-nected with one strike on her.

The Punishers were trailing 1-0 un-til the bottom of the fifth when Nunez homered to left field with one out. A single from Carrasco, a double from Roper and an intentional walk issued to Morales loaded the bases for Kristina Akiona (Pacifica High) who laced a base hit up the middle to bring in a pair of runs. Carrasco, who had been mired in a one for seven slump to begin the tournament, went three for three and was intentionally walked twice. Akiona and Roper each went two for four while Medina and Nunez both went two for five.

“I think every other game, we have people who step up because we have 12 people who can do it,” Bob Medina said. “I said this in the state tourna-ment-I have 12 number four hitters. I really do. It’s a great position to be in as a coach. We still haven’t played to our potential. We made a lot of mis-takes and missed signs.”

The Punishers began the tournament this past Monday morning in pool play action against Team One, a first-year group out of Sandy Springs, GA, just north of Atlanta. The Punishers erupted for a dozen hits and ambushed Team One 10-1. Akiona went three for three with two RBI while Sydney Colenzo (Downey High) added three hits in as many at bats and drove in two runs. Kristin Jaeger (Mayfair High/CSUSM) pitched the first five innings, allow-ing a pair of hits and striking out eight batters.

The next day, the Punishers fell to the (Westlake Village) So Cal Jets 7-2 as both teams combined for 25 hits.

The Jets put the game away with a five-run fifth inning to offset a three for three performance from Roper. Nunez would score both runs with solo tallies in the third and fifth frames.

But when the real fun began this past Wednesday, the Punishers put a big time hurt on the Spring-Ford Sting from King of Prussia, PA, a small town west of Philadelphia. The Punishers posted a 12-0 win as Jaeger tossed a four-hitter and fanned four batters. Nunez was all three’s, going three for three, scoring three times and driving in three runs. Sydney Colenzo also went three for there and scored three times while Ri-vera went two for three with three RBI.

Through the first four games, Roper is batting .667 with three runs scored and two RBI. She is followed by Sydney Colenzo (.571, five runs, three RBI), Akiona (.538, two runs, five RBI), Nunez (.500, seven runs, five RBI) and Carrasco (.400).

“I believe that no matter where it is, you have to have a plan and our plan is not feeling like we’re at home,” Bob Medina said of the Southern California location. “I believe we’ve created the atmosphere. The kids our focused and we want them to be focused throughout regardless win or lose.”

One of three skydivers brings the United States flag to the field turf of the football stadium at Hemet High School during the opening ceremonies.

NORWALK, CA - In an effort to prevent more people from losing their homes, Assem-blymember Tony Mendoza (D-Norwalk) will join forces with state agencies and non-profit credit organizations to host a foreclosure prevention workshop on Thursday, Aug. 12, 2010.

“People should not have to walk away from their homes because they are not informed of the options available to them,” said As-semblymember Mendoza. “People in danger of falling behind on their mortgages, or those who are already delinquent should know what's ahead. The faster people move, the more choic-es they will have about their financial future.”

Assemblymember Tony Mendoza, a former teacher and current vice-chair of the Califor-nia Latino Legislative Caucus, represents the communities of Artesia, Hawaiian Gardens, Cerritos, Buena Park, Norwalk, Santa Fe Springs, Lakewood, Los Nietos and South Whittier and Whittier.Garden, Gourmet and Gallery SeriesLecture and Book Signingby Pat Welsh

the excessive salaries in the City of Bell will effect their cities in their battle to prevent the state from taking additional city funds to balance its budget. They have been arguing they cannot afford deeper cuts in their budgets because of the recession.

The state legislature is studying sev-eral proposals, including a requirement that cities make salaries more acces-sible to the public on web sites. Another would cap pensions of highly paid city officials. Bell officials are now under investigation by the state and county and their pensions have temporarily been frozen.Artesia City Manager – Annual Base Salary - $140,104.90 With the 26 furlough days for the Fiscal Year 2010-11, the salary of the City Manager is $126,094.20.City Attorney - Kevin Ennis from the firm Richards, Watson & Gershon.

crime, and a side garage door was pried open in the other. Jewelry was the only reported loss. The current 2010 weekly average in residential burglaries is 2.1.

Good neighbors watch out for each other. NEVER hesitate to call Cerritos Sheriff’s Station to report any suspi-cious persons or vehicles.

There were two commercial burglar-ies reported last week, up from one the previous week. A closed business was entered via an adjacent wall where glass frames were stolen. The second case involved a fitness center locker where a wallet, ID, and credit cards were taken. The 2010 weekly average in commercial burglaries is 2.7.

Vehicle burglaries increased from nine to fourteen last week. High-vol-ume commercial parking lots were the crime scenes in all but one. Eight of the vehicles last week were SUVs and three victims reported stereo items missing.

Other items stolen were purses, wal-lets, broccoli beef dinners, credit cards, sporting goods, laptop computers, rear SUV seats, and eyeglasses. The new 2010 weekly average in vehicle burglar-ies is now 6.8.

Would you rely on less than a quar-ter inch of glass to protect your valuable property? Unfortunately, too many peo-ple do by leaving items in the passenger compartment of their vehicles. Thieves will gladly make you a victim without a second thought. Don’t provide them the opportunity to do so. Take your prop-erty with you or at the very least, lock it in the trunk.

Vehicle thefts cases increased from four to five, all of which were from high-volume commercial parking lots. All of the cases involved SUVs. The 2010 weekly average in vehicle thefts is now 4.7.

Steering wheel lock-ing devices can cost as little as $25.00 and are a visual deterrent. This is a very small added “in-surance policy” to make sure that your vehicle is available when you return to it.

WELLHEAD FACILITIES AND PIPELINESCITY PROJECT NO. 7424

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the City of Norwalk will accept bids for this project until the hour of eleven o'clock A.M. on August 26, 2010. Bids are to be submitted to City Clerk's Office Room 16, City Hall, City of Norwalk, California. Bids will be opened in the City Clerk's Office Room 16 unless otherwise posted.

Plans, specifications, bid forms, bonds and contracts may be obtained at the office of the City Engineer, Room 12, City Hall. Plans and specifications will be issued to prospective bidders over the counter for a $80 charge. For plans and specifications that are required to be mailed the charge will be $100. Checks are to be made payable to the City of Norwalk.

It shall be mandatory upon the contractor to whom the contract is awarded, and upon all sub-contractors under him, to pay not less than the general prevailing rates of per diem wages to all workmen employed in the execution of this contract in accordance with the provisions of Section 1770 to 1780 of the Labor Code. Said general prevailing rate of per diem wages and classification, if applicable, to said contract and work was adopted by the City Council of the City of Norwalk and is on file in the office of the City Clerk. Attention is directed to the provisions in Section 1777.5 (Chapter 1411, Statutes of 1968) and 1777.6 of the Labor Code concerning the employment of apprentices by the contractor or any sub-contractor under him. The Contractor will be required to submit weekly payrolls to the City of Norwalk to verify the above requirements. No payments shall be made until the above requirements are met. In performance of the terms of this Contract, the Contractor shall not engage in nor permit such sub-contractors as he may employ from engaging in discrimination in employment of persons because of the race, color, national origin or ancestry, or religion of such person. Violation of this provision may result in the imposition of penalties referred to in Labor Code Section 1735.

Bidders are advised that, as required by federal law, will be required to comply with the EPA six affirmative steps listed in 40 CFR 31.36(e).

This is a federally assisted construction contract. Federal labor standards provisions, including prevailing wage requirements of the Davis-Bacon and Related Acts, will be enforced. In the event of a conflict between the Federal General Wage Decision as established by the United States Department of Labor (incorporated into the bid document for this contract) and the State General Prevailing Wage Determination as established by the California Department of Industrial Relations (available at http://www.dir.ca.gov/DLSR/PWD/index.htm), the higher of the two will prevail. Lower State wage rates for work classifications not specifically included in the Federal wage decision are not acceptable. This includes “helper” (or other classifications based on hours of experience) or any other classification not appearing in the Federal wage decision.

Conflict of Interest: in the procurement of supplies, equipment, construction, and services by sub-recipients, the conflict of interest provisions in 24 CFR 85.36, OMB Circular A-110, and 24 CFR 570.611 shall apply. No employee, officer, or agent of the sub-recipient shall participate in the selection, award, or administration of a contract supported by federal funds if a conflict of interest, real or apparent, would be involved.

The City Council of the City of Norwalk reserves the right to reject any or all bids, and/or waive any informality on a bid. No bidder may withdraw his bid for a period of sixty (60) days after the date set for the opening thereof.

BY ORDER OF THE NORWALK CITY COUNCIL of the City of Norwalk, California this 3rd day of August 2010.
