Five of the seven current elected members of the Cerritos College Board of Trustees have collected

nearly $300,000 in cash payments that is intended to cover medical insurance needs, and it is all legal under a little known loophole in California state law.

Trustees currently earn $6,126 an-nually for attending one or two monthly official board meetings. But their over-all compensations skyrocket when they decline to enroll for health insurance coverage and take “cash in lieu pay-ments” that would normally go towards that coverage.

Trustees oversee the direction of the Norwalk-Cerritos based campus but have no direct authority in the day to day operation of the campus. Cerritos currently has an enrollment of 23,432. In 2011 they met 19 times to conduct the business. In 2010 they gathered a total of 22 times, and 2009 they conducted 19 regular meetings and an additional four specially called sessions.

CERRITOS COLLEGE TRUSTEES CASH IN BIG ON MEDICAL BENEFITSBy Randy Economy and Brian Hews

gathered financial data from Cerritos College, local city halls, and school boards during the past year that specifi-cally examines the total compensation packages of dozens of local elected of-ficials and city administrators.

Dr. Robert “Bob” Hughlett, who was elected to the Cerritos College Board of Trustees in 2006, and who is also a for-mer Administrator at Cerritos College has taken $82,982 under the “cash-in-lieu” program. Hughlett is also a former member of the Cerritos City Council and the ABC Unified School District Board

of Education.Trustee Tina Cho, who was elected

in 2007, has collected $74,376 in cash payments for turning down the medical coverage, followed by Trustee Shin Liu at $28,384. Liu was elected in 2009, is also an instructor at

Rio Hondo College.Trustee Robert “Bob” Arthur,

who has been one of the biggest supporters and advocates of Cer-

ritos College for decades, and who is the second longest serving member of the Board ranked fourth and has collected $19,854 under the program since first being elected back in 1996.

Jean McHatton, who was appointed to the Board of Trustees in 2011 after the death of Member Bob Epple has also benefited in the program. She has opted into the program and so far received $4,129 in stipend and an additional $7,969 cash in lieu.

Arthur, the current Board President said the Board is currently looking at an immediate $4 million in cuts. When

Arrest Made in La Mirada Child Death CaseBy Randy Economy

Mark Ed-ward Vaughn, a 21-year-old was arrested last Tuesday by Los An-geles County Sheriff’s detectives in connection with the death of a La Mirada girl.

Vaughn, a resident of Corona, told Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Homi-

The La Mirada City Council took the first formal steps on Tuesday night to enact new standards on state required regulations when it comes to possible future massage establish-ments.

City Planner Gabriel Bautista told the city council that due to a 2009 law, cities such as La Mirada now have less “local control and authority” over massage businesses. He said the law, known as Senate Bill 731, transferred the authority to regulate massage par-lors to a new state agency known as the California Massage Therapy Council.

“As a result of the new law, cit-ies may no longer require their own independent testing and background in-vestigation for massage practitioners,”

Participating in the seven night trip was Cerritos resident Rosalinda Law, a member of the Cerritos Economic De-velopment Commission, Mike Kodama, Orange Line Development Authority Ex-ecutive Director and Norman Arakawa,

Cerritos Crime Summary April 2 - 8, 2012

There were 26 Part I felony investiga-tions conducted by Cerritos Sheriff’s Sta-tion deputies last week, up from 18 the week before. Increases were noted in com-mercial burglaries and vehicle burglaries, while robberies and residential burglaries remained the same. Vehicle thefts de-clined. 260 calls for service were handled by patrol personnel, up from 246 the pre-vious week. The 2012 weekly average in calls for service is 259.

One robbery was investigated. A male suspect entered a bank in the 11800 block of South Street on Saturday April 7 at 11:05 a.m. and presented a teller with a “demand note”. The suspect placed the money in his jacket and fled on foot.

For the second consecutive week, four residential burglaries were reported. Two of the cases last week involved open/unlocked doors or windows. One window was pried open and another was shattered. Jewelry, cell phones, cash, a backpack, and video games were taken. The 2012 weekly average in residential burglaries is now 4.4.

Side garage doors are a common entry point in residential burglaries. They are usually less fortified than front doors be-cause they are not always solid core and many do not have strong deadbolt locks. Thieves frequently kick these doors in af-ter entering a side yard that is concealed from the street. When inside the garage, an undetected entry can be made into the

home often by kicking the inner door, or using the victim’s own tools. Check your side garage door and make sure that your home will not be an easy target.

Commercial burglaries rose from one to three last week. Two closed businesses and a school were targeted. The businesses were entered via a hole cut in a wall and a shattered window. A DVR system was taken and an attempt to take a vending machine was unsuccessful. There was no loss determined at the school. The 2012 weekly average in commercial burglaries is now 1.3.

Vehicle burglaries rose from three to eight last week. High-volume commercial parking lots were the crime scenes in all eight. Five of the vehicles were SUVs. Stolen items included vitamins, wallets, credit cards, checkbooks, cell phones, sun-glasses, ID, cash, purses, jackets, and cam-eras. The 2012 weekly average in vehicle burglaries is 6.1.

As you can see, five of the eight vehi-cles targeted last week were SUVs. Think twice about the property you leave in your vehicle, and especially an SUV. If it is valu-able and important to you, consider leaving it at home or taking it with you when you exit the vehicle. Valuable items left within the passenger compartment make it just too easy for the thief.

Vehicle thefts dropped from seven to three. High-volume commercial parking lots were the crime scenes in all three. Two Hondas and a Toyota were taken. The 2012 weekly average in vehicle thefts is now 4.6.

La Mirada Crime SummaryApril 2 - 8, 2012

Aggravated Assault: Two assaults were reported last week. An incident occurred on the 15800 block of Formby Dr. A suspect related to the victim was taken into custody. An assault occurred on the 11800 block of Singleton Dr. An arrest was also made in connection with the incident. The suspect is related to the victim. Residential Bur-glary: There were five residential burglar-ies. A burglary occurred on the 13200 block of Marlette Dr. Two arrests were made at the location. An incident occurred on the 16200 block of Mcgill Rd. Two sets of golf clubs were taken from an open garage at the location. A burglary was reported on the 16100 block of Barbata Rd. Jewelry was taken from the location. An incident was re-ported on the 16500 block of Summershade Dr. Unknown suspects removed a window screen and entered the location through an unlocked window. A television and video game system were taken. Additionally, a burglary occurred on the 13200 block of Edwards Rd. A video game console and various video games were taken. Grand Theft: Two grand thefts were reported last week. Currency was reported stolen from a resident on the 13000 block of La Mira-da Blvd. A theft occurred on the 15800 block of Imperial Hwy. A purse contain-ing a large amount of currency was taken from an unlocked vehicle. Grand Theft Vehicle A vehicle reported stolen from the City of Buena Park was recovered at La Capelle Rd. and Stanleaf Dr.

La Mirada Public Safety Team Joins in Operation to Fight Crime

La Mirada’s Public Safety Team re-cently joined in a special operation to fight crime. Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Dep-uties assigned to La Mirada, Norwalk and the County unincorporated area participat-ed in an Operation on April 1.

As part of this operation, deputies con-ducted compliance checks for parolees/probationers residing in the three areas. Deputies searched the residences check-ing for weapons, drugs, and other items that would violate the terms and conditions of their parole/probation. Due to a recent spike in residential and vehicle thefts in the area, parolees and probationers who were convicted of theft related charges were tar-geted.

“The goal of the operation was to hold offenders accountable for their actions,” says Assistant to the City Manager Anne Haraksin.

Overall, deputies visited nearly 48 lo-cations and arrested several parolees/pro-bationers for violations.

Prime Healthcare Services, the parent company of Garden Grove Hospital Medical Center, Huntington Beach Hospital, La Palma Intercommunity Hospital and West Anaheim Medical Center, has been recognized as one of the 15 Top Health Systems in the Nation by Thomson Reuters, the world’s leading source of information, based on quality of care, efficiency and patient satisfaction.

This is the second time in four years that Prime Healthcare has earned the national distinction.

Prime Healthcare was recognized as a Top 10 Health System in 2009 by Thomson Reuters in its first-ever landmark study of health systems based on quality and efficiency. Prime Healthcare is the only West Coast health system to receive this coveted recognition.

According to Thomson Reuters, when compared to other hospital systems, Prime Healthcare saved more lives, caused fewer patient complications, made fewer medical errors, followed recommended standards of care more closely, had shorter hospital stays and scored better on patient satisfaction surveys.

Among 321 health systems, 2,194 hospitals and over 8 million patient discharges included in the study, Prime Healthcare Services had the lowest mortality rate, the lowest medical complications and the highest patient safety index.

Prime Healthcare ranked higher than the other 21 health systems in California and the more than 30 other health systems on the West Coast.

The Thomson Reuters study is the only independent study of its kind that evaluates health systems based on objective measurements derived from public data and peer-reviewed methods; it should also be noted that health systems may not apply or pay for consideration in this study.

This is the first foray into elected of-fice for Downey community leader Patricia Kotez-Ramos who is the

lone Republican in a field that includes five Democrats in the newly created 58th As-sembly District campaign.

Kotez-Ramos is the owner of her own security safety agency for the past three decades and she and her husband decided to open their own business ten years ago to that specializes in employee misconduct, product theft and has a client base in 44 states, and in Canada and Mexico.

She was born in Westchester County, New York, in Pleasantville, and after work-ing in both Denver and other areas, made her way to Downey in the 1990’s where she and her husband have raised two daughters. Kotez-Ramos is the current Chairwoman of the Downey Public Works Committee and is active in several regional community based organizations including Soroptimist International and the Downey Chamber of Commerce.

“We were tired of making other people money, so we decided to open our own business,” she quipped.

Kotez-Ramos said that “job creation”

more business owners, and more females to serve in the Assembly, and also finds the new California Open Primary system as a “good thing, however, I wish more people would get out and vote.”

She said she is focusing her campaign efforts to get “more people registered and to the polls.” Kotez-Ramos said she “likes her odds” for moving into the General Election as one of the two vote getters since and continued to point out that when “Re-publicans stick together, we win elections.” “The Primary election is just as important as the election in November.”

If elected she said she will “help small businesses repay debts and create jobs by reforming the tax code to promote job growth and retain our tax base, reducing regulatory compliance costs and red tape.”

Citing the alarming statistics of child hood obesity within the district, Kotez-Ramos said “we need to change the educa-tion system to provide more nutrition and physical activity to align better with ‘Team California for Healthy Kids.’”

She also advocates a reduction the state debt by eliminating waste inside state gov-ernment, while finding less expensive, more effective ways of operating government

Los Angeles County Assessor Noguez Must Resign

At this week’s LA County Board of Supervisor’s meeting, Assessor John Noguez told them that tax rev-

enue for the quarter would be “off by $50 million” and that “he did not see it com-ing”.

As you have read in this newspaper since February, the only one who could not see this coming was Nogeuz and the blind who defended him. There were plenty of warning signs that this deficit was coming, including articles citing the slide in the LA Times.

It all adds up; Noguez must resign.

First, he hired an ex trash hauler execu-tive, Dr. Chris Carlos with no experience in appraisals or property tax assessments, named him his chief of staff, and then paid him more than anyone else, over $16,000 per month. Carlo’s ex-company, Athens Disposal, was under indictment when he was hired. Carlos has since resigned due to the revelation of pay and inexperience in articles published by LCCN.

Second, the operations, policies and procedures inside the assessor’s office-and this is before the $50 million deficit was revealed-is in shambles, no doubt in large part due to Carlos. Assessor’s representa-tive Scott Schenter was able to secure large tax reductions for over 170 properties, 20% of those properties reduced by the “Shadow Assessor” Ramin Salari who banked 50% of each reduction. An assessor’s supervi-sor should have reviewed the properties in question, but mysteriously they were not.

Tolerance and Accommodation Can Prevent DisputesBy Jerry Bernsteineditor@cerritosnews.net

I was sitting at my desk taking a short break when my friend VAL LYNDER, DEFENDER OF ALL THAT IS TRUE,

walked into the office. Not one to beat around the bush, she said, “What in the world is going on in Hawaiian Gardens?”

“What do you mean?” I asked.“I mean the quarreling . between the

members of the city council. I watched the council meeting on my friends television set and couldn’t believe it.”

“Well, “ I said I believe one of the coun-cil members is still smarting over the fact that the the two candidates he backed for city council lost and Mayor Mike Gomez and Mayor Pro Tem Victor Farfan won.”

“There has o be more,” she said.“There’s a lot more to tell, but I don’t

think that’s why youre here,” I stated.VAL LYNDER gave me a long look Fi-

nally she said, “I do have a question and you’re right, it’s not abut Hawaiian Gar-dens,” she said.

I waited for her to continue..“A friend of mine who works in the city

of Norwalk and who follows what goes on there asked me the other day about a news-paper that claims to have a large circulation in the city yet no one has seen it and now there are rumors it will get the city legal announcements.”

“Well for one, “ I explained, “ It has to prove it has the general circulation it claims and it is adjudicated. that’s the law.”

Does it?”Nope. It doesn’t.”“There’s more than meets the eye here,”

she said.”“Yes there is,” I replied. “You might

want to check with your Norwalk friends in city hall about who is backing this so-

called newspaper>”VAL LYNDER gave me a second long

look. Breaking her silence, she said, “I will.”

She didn’t get up from her chair. I knew he had something else on her mind. I wait-ed.

Finally she said,”Tell me about this Orange Line I keep hearing about. “

“The Orange Line is a proposal for a rail line to connect Orange County via a rapid transit train with Los Angeles using the old Pacific Electric right-of-way. The original idea was there would be train stops in the various cities along the right-of-way.

“That makes sense,” she said. “W’ell, technology waits on no one,

and since the original line was proposed technology has moved forward.”

What doe that mean,” she asked.Two weeks ago a group of city officials

from several cities and the Orange Line Devwlopment Commission took a seven day trip to China and Japan to study their railroads. As you know, both countries have “bullet trains:” can travel at 200 to over 500 miles per hour. “

“That wouldn’t be practical on the Pa-cific Electric right-of way,” she said.

“That what members of the Artesia City Council said at their April 9 meeting. The Orange Line Transit System people are going to have to decide if they want a high speed MagLev carrier system or a low speed system. MegLev technology has moved forward where there is now a low speed system but faster than a light rail.

“That’s enough,” she interrupted me. “I’ve heard enough. You can explain it in more detail to me later.” With that she rose from her chair to leave,”

I sat there dumbfounded. This was the first time she had not lost her temper and slammed her purple white poker dotted umbrella on my desk in anger. “Didn’t you forget something,” I asked..”

“No,” she replied. “This isn’t the Ha-waiian Gardens City Council. “ With that she left, her umbrella at her side matching her high heeled poker dotted tennis shoes and outfit.

Third, LA County DA’s Public Integ-rity investigation of his office, two cases are ongoing right now.

Fourth, the pay-to-play politics-run by Carlos-that is rampant at every level, in-cluding inside the office. It was revealed that many large political donors to the Noguez campaign have received preferen-tial treatment by Noguez and his cronies. There were even donations from internal staff at the office to his campaign.

Fifth, the subpoena recently issued to Noguez by a San Diego attorney represent-ing a client suing Salari. Salari, under oath during a deposition, said he did not know Noguez. When asked repeatedly, Salari fi-nally took the fifth. After LCCN revealed that Salari knew Noguez, the San Diego attorney subpoenaed Noguez. Not sur-prisingly, the case was settled by Salari in about a week.

Sixth, Noguez allowing a private com-pany to come into his office and shoot a video that promoted a private company. LCCN revealed this gaff the next day and the private company immediately pulled the video, probably at the behest of the assessor’s office. The next day LCCN re-ceived a letter from Noguez attempting to explain the video.

Lastly, the current $50 million deficit, the damage that might be caused to cities, schools, public safety, etc in Los Angeles and the upcoming internal audit. None of the Supervisors, with a combined experi-ence of over 100 years, had ever seen any-thing like this deficit, or the arrogance dis-played by Noguez at the meeting.

It all adds up…unlike Noguez’ tax rev-enue projections…he must resign.

EASTER THOUGHTSKindness, where art thou?By Rico Dizon

News programs on prime time tele-vision show and tell much about killings, abuses, rapes, robber-

ies, frauds, scams that are actually hap-pening around us day in and day out. Although there are “heroes” and kind hearted souls that pop out once in a while on the same screens, the do-gooders are easily outnumbered by the evil doers in the news. In most cases, the neighbors and residents in the communities where the crime took place were extremely shocked and alarmed when interviewed by reporters.

Kindness besides “honesty is such a lonely word” as the song goes. There are observations that kindness is even looked down as a sign of weakness by some young people. Some students are bullied by their arrogant and more aggressive schoolmates. It is bothersome enough that some young students believe being kind is not cool, for-getting that the heroes they idolized then like Superman, Captain America and Spi-derman to name a few have many things in common. They are all kind, brave, smart and cool rolled into one. Church and government leaders alike cannot be more emphatic in promoting the importance of good family values as the foundation of a good society. In my city of Lakewood,

posters that say “Times Change, Values Don’t” abound. The practice of kindness has always been encouraged for a better community…a better world.

Kindness is so explicitly desired in the solemn prayer written by an anony-mous author, “I expect to pass through this world but once. Any good therefore that I can do, or any kindness that can show to any fellow creature, let me do it now. Let me not defer or neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again.” Like-wise, the person whom you want to do kindness as in certain cases may pass this way no more as attested by my own personal experience.

Many years ago, I had been thinking of paying my long-time mentor, supervisor and friend a visit but somehow, I just de-ferred and neglected doing it. When I final-ly made it, his wife told me he passed away just a month ago. Woe to myself! The news ripped my heart apart and never in my life had I felt so guilty. My mixed emotions of guilt, sadness and regret just poured out in free-flowing tears with a silent moan.

Just recently, while attending a funeral mass for my late aunt, a Filipino priest spoke in a timely manner about the Fili-pino culture of timidity and reluctance in saying “I love you” to our families, rela-tives and friends. It is ingrained in our cul-ture the feeling of awkwardness when we want to say the four-lettered word to direct-ly express our feeling to another person, the priest noted. Ironically, he continued, when our loved ones die, then we boldly display our uncontrolled grief and emo-tions some even to the extent of clutching

tightly to the coffin as if wanting to stop the final rites. We are not as comfortable in openly expressing our love as we do in gestures of care and concern.

Kindness is not limited to the dead, the sick and the handicap. A man by the name of Sydney Harris shared his personal expe-rience along this line among the 1000 Sto-ries compiled by Rev. Frank Mihalic. Har-ris told that when he hobbled around with a cane due to a fractured foot, people opened doors for him, helped him into cabs, gave him room in elevators. He quickly added, yet the moment I laid aside my cane, the people reverted to their old pushing and jostling selves. Without us knowing, al-most everybody has some kind of broken bones not physical ones but emotional ones that are just as frail and tender, he ex-plained. He advised that it could be a fruit-ful experience for us to take a day off once in a while and treat every person we meet as if his foot were bandaged.

Cristina Garcia, a candidate for Cali-fornia State Assembly in the new 58th District is becoming one of

the most recognizable figures in reforming corruption that plagued local city halls dur-ing the past few years.

Garcia is promoting “ethical conduct in local and state government,” in her cam-paign for Assembly.

She told Los Cerritos Community Newspaper that she “firmly believes that doing the right thing is worth the effort and that hard work pays off.”

Garcia was raised in the Southeast Los Angeles community of Bell Gardens and attended local schools. She went on to earn a Bachelor’s Degree from Pomona Col-lege, two Masters Degrees from Claremont Graduate University and the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA), and a PhD from USC.

She has also been a proponent for qual-ity public education and is determined to “be a strong advocate of change” in Sacra-mento, if she is elected.

Garcia is a professor, instructor and educator who has taught statistics at the University of Southern California (USC), Mathematics at Los Angeles City Commu-nity College, and has taught middle school and high school students through the Jaime

Escalante Program at East Los Angeles Community College and Huntington Park High School.

When the Bell corruption scandal broke two years ago, Garcia gained national at-tention and quickly became one of the most recognizable “faces” in the movement that eventually led to the indictments of eight city officials.

“When the chips were down, I was will

the community to help augment change,” Garcia said.

She credits her work with them to form BASTA -the Bell Association to Stop the Abuse that in her words “ushered out cor-rupt officials, and ushering in accountabil-ity and transparency.”

Garcia likes her chances in this cam-paign for state assembly and tells LCCN that she has “hit the streets” and is amass-ing a “ground troop” of volunteers who want to see “real change in Sacramento.”

“Good government starts with clean, open and honest elected officials,” she said.

She said that she learned from her mother’s life example.

“My mom is one of those no-nonsense, no-excuses people. She passionately be-lieves in hard work and the American Dream.” She concludes, “To protect that American Dream, we desperately need to change our political system to one of ser-vice and not pay outs. Working families are the ones hurt most by corruption and greed.”

Los Cerritos Community News has a video interview with Garcia on their web site at www.loscerritosnews.net.

Cristina Garcia stresses needed reforms in Sacramento

Year of OpportunitiesBy John P. Lyon

This year will go down in history as a catalyst for

change. Already, it is a symbol of endings. With every ending, there is also a new be-ginning. That’s why this year I choose to see it as a year of op-portunity.

When I speak of “endings”, I’m of course not speaking of the Mayan calen-dar. I’m speaking about real endings like the end of redevelopment which California cities are dealing with, and also on a lighter note, the hopeful end of the recession.

In the wake of the state’s raids, it can be easy for cities like us to think we are awash in an ocean of futility. But as mayor, I’ve always liked to see things from a different perspective; every ending is just a new be-ginning.

We have some amazing projects lined up that will provide just the opportunity we need to grow. Perhaps the biggest project is the final phase of “revitalization” for Ar-tesia’s downtown shopping area on Pioneer Blvd. This project, called the Downtown Revitalization Project, Phase 3, will essen-tially beautify the downtown area roughly between 183rd Street and South Street. The design we’ve chosen will really give this area a unique and visually attrac-tive look. In addition to this, we are also looking to construct a parking structure to support downtown businesses and help al-leviate parking congestion in the street and surrounding neighborhoods.

Another big project that is almost finished is Artesia’s new Public Works Yard. Located near the milk plant on Ar-tesia Blvd., this will be the center of our maintenance operations. We count on our Public Works Department to do important services like pothole repair, maintenance of public facilities, vine trimming, graffiti removal, road clearance, and much more. Prior to this new Yard, the City has been renting. So, we’re excited to have a Public

Works Yard which the community can call its own.

There’s plenty of other opportunities which we are unfolding, and to assist in letting the public know about these, we have planned a series of broadcasts entitled “Artesia 2012 – A Year of Opportunities” which will be aired beginning April 5 on Cable Public Access Channel 36. The first show will focus on street sweeping, dump-ing heavy items in the streets and alleys, and graffiti removal. We’ll have our Sher-iff and our Business Services Manager on hand to talk about our new street sweeping services, how to get rid of bulky items, and what to do when we see graffiti.

Finally, the judges select an Alter-nate 2013 DYW of Cerritos-Artesia, and the Winner – 2013 Distinguished Young Woman of Cerritos-Artesia.

All winners will be able to utilize their winnings for college expenses such as tu-ition, books, etc.

Kelly Chen will be participating in the California State Program to be held in Bakersfield Jul. 20 – 29th, 2012 and was presented her 2013 Distinguished Young Woman medallion by last year’s winner

DYW Winners included (l-r) Corinne Marcus, Kelly Chen, Anita Kapyur, and Alice Kim. Chen will be representing DYW in Bakersfield in July.

Bautista stated in his report to Mayor Gabe Garcia and the other city council members.

Bautista said that the La Mirada Municipal Code currently permits mas-sage establishments to locate within the a district known as a “Neighbor-hood Commercial Zoning District, but are forbidden in other commercial and industrial areas along the 5 Freeway or Imperial Highway.

Karen Bufkin, who is in the City of La Mirada’s Business License Depart-ment said that the city currently has just one business establishment that is offers massages, that being the La Mirada Health Club. Bautista and Bufkin said that another “possible ap-plicant” has approached city officials in the recent past inquiring about opening a full service massage-style business, but that no business plans have been “officially” submitted.

The adopted ordinance still has to come before the city council for final approval next month. Each person em-ployed to perform massages must be a “certified massage therapist” and must be in possession of a valid California State Massage Certificate. Massages will only be allowed between the hours of 7 a.m. and 10 p.m.

In other items, the La Mirada City Council voted to introduce new requirements for child and family day care uses in residential areas.

The new regulations would create a set of “prescribed performance require-ments” for large day care facility appli-

cants, and would be intended to “mini-mize” potential impacts to surrounding areas and to maintain a distance of 500 linear feet between existing large fam-ily day care facilities.

BLOCK WALLSThe City Council also introduced

the first reading of a new ordinance that deals with block wall fences in La Mirada.

Rueben Arceo, Community De-velopment Director told the council that the condition of “privately owned block walls and fences area a source of concern” for the community.

In his staff report, Arceo said that “many of the privately owned block walls in La Mirada were built in the 1950’s and 60’s and are nearing their life expectancy.”

Approximately 82,000 linear feet of concert masonry run throughout La Mirada along major and minor streets and avenues and an overwhelming majority are located on private prop-erty and are owned and maintained by individual property owners.

City staff reminded the council that as a “function of repair and mainte-nance, best construction practices have not always been applied by property owners” over the past four and five decades. Recently, many block walls have begun to crumble and the “struc-tural integrity problems” have impact-ed property values.

Mayor Garcia said “we all want to see the walls cleaned up and replaced, we just need to come up with the best way to make it happen throughout La Mirada.”

The issue will return to the city council next month for additional

discussion.The La Mirada City Council also

proclaimed April as “Public Schools Month” and presented Daryl Adams, President of Norwalk-La Mirada Uni-fied School District Board of Educa-tion with a resolution. Also attending the presentation was NLMUSD Board Members Jesse Urquidi, Chris Pflanzer and Vice President Ed Hengler.

The week of April 8 to April 14 will now be “National Library Week” in La Mirada. Community Library Manger Jennifer McCarty accepted a proclama-tion in honor of the recognition and she quickly reminded the city council and the audience to “make sure everyone has a valid library card.” “We have one of the very best public libraries in our area, and we extend a huge thanks to the city council,” McCarty said.

Also recognized were Joyce and Randy Herbon for their continued support and coordination of the up-coming “Relay for Life” on behalf of the American Cancer Society. They pointed out the upcoming event is planned for April 28 and 29 and will be held at SPLASH! and will be the only “Relay for Life” to be held at a facility that features water.

Longtime resident and community volunteer Janice Lablin was formally recognized for 40 years of “dedicated” community volunteer service with a special “Certificate of Recognition.” Lablin said that it is the “responsibility of every good resident to give back to La Mirada.”

A Blue Star Banner was presented by the city council to Jerillynn Cisner-os, Trudy Carrillo, and George Carrillo in honor of United States Army Private Joseph Richards for his current service to the United States of America. Look for a banner with Pvt. Richards name to be flown along Rosecrans Avenue in the near future.

cide Bureau detectives that on January 20 he was babysitting his girlfriend’s 17-month-old daughter at her La Mirada home.

Vaughn said that just after 10:00 AM that morning, the baby fell out of a chair and struck her head on the floor. Realizing the baby was injured, he dialed 9-1-1.

On Friday, January 20, at 10:22 pm, Norwalk Sheriff’s Station deputies with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s

Department responded to a “Baby Not Breathing” call at a home, located in the 15200 block of Valeda Drive, La Mirada, where they found the child in distress.

She was transported via ambulance to an Orange County hospital and listed in death imminent condition.

The baby was pronounced dead at the hospital four days later, on Tues-day, January 24, 2012.

Personnel from the Orange County Sheriff-Coroner Department conducted an autopsy and determined the cause of death was blunt force trauma to the victim’s head. The case was ruled as a homicide.

Investigation by Homicide detec-tives with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department of the circum-stances surrounding the victim’s death revealed that such a fall onto the carpeted floor, as alleged by Vaughn, would not cause the type of injury and trauma to the victim’s head.

Based upon the investigations and findings of Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Homicide detectives and the Orange County Coroner, Los Angeles CountyDistrict Attorney’s Office per-sonnel filed a murder charge against Vaughn.

“An arrest warrant for Vaughn was served and on Tuesday, April 3, 2012, Sheriff’s detectives arrested him at his home, located in the 1000 block of Fernleaf Lane, Corona,” said Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Homicide Lieutenant John Corina.

Vaughn was booked at the Century Sheriff’s Station for Murder and As-sault Resulting In the Death of A Child Under 8 Years of Age. He is being held in lieu of $1,000,000.00 bail.

Arraignment is set for Monday, April 23, 2012, at Downey Superior Court.

Funds Benefit the Community Health and Safety Campaign in Support of the Plaza Tower.

Whittier, Calif. – The annual PIH Foundation Gala held on Saturday,

March 24, 2012 drew over 700 people and raised more than $520,000 in support of the new Plaza Tow-er, scheduled to open in the fall. The event, themed “Oh What a Night,” was held at the Hyatt Regency

Resort and Spa in Huntington Beach.“It was a privilege co-chairing this

amazing event,” said Shannon Gimbel, co-chair of the 2012 Gala Committee. “We are so grateful for all the generous donations that will benefit Surgery at PIH.”

Rich and Annette Atwood, Commu-nity Health and Safety Campaign Co-Chairs, did a brief presentation during dinner on the plans for PIH Founda-tion’s Capital Campaign.

“Many of the guests I spoke to of-fered their support and encouragement of the bold $100 million target set for the Capital Campaign,” said Annette Atwood. “They were visibly excited by the new vision and eager to contribute their ideas.”

The BCM Foundation inspired giv-ing with a challenge grant of $150,000

to the campaign which was matched during the event’s live appeal by gener-ous attendees.

Special guests and dignitaries in-cluded Los Angeles County Supervisor Don Knabe and Whittier City Council Members Joe Vinatierri and Greg Nor-dbak. Shan-non Gimbel and Staci Magged, co-chairs of this year’s gala, were supported by dedicated Gala Com-mittee mem-bers Sherry Braun, Lori Breit-man, Joyce Fitzgerald, Catherine Freiman, Maxine Gimbel, Connie Ir-win, Diane Kirkpatrick, Pricilla Koury, Mary McCarthy, Suzanne McGarry, Barbara Nureddine, Barbara Penland-Maun, Eleanor Perry-Tomlin, Pam Polito, Robin Renek, Debra Rudolph, Libby Thomas and Susan West.

The gala is PIH Foundation’s larg-est annual event. It included a silent auction, which featured electronics, jewelry, designer handbags, a variety of gift baskets, dinners and tickets to sporting events and local amusement parks.

The live auction began with pieces from the Marsha Antonelli estate jewelry collection, which included a

diamond tennis bracelet and diamond baguette earrings donated by John An-tonelli. Another exclusive auction item offered was an intimate dinner and pri-vate cooking demonstration for eight at the home of PIH Board Chair Don Alvarado as well as Laker tickets (floor

seats) do-nated by Frank and Robin Renek.

asked to comment about the cash in lieu opportunities by Trustees in the cur-rent economic crisis facing community colleges in California, Arthur said the “board should probably have a conver-sation about this.” When asked if he plans to bring the subject up in public or to place the issue on an upcoming agenda, he said he “didn’t know.”

“Every avenue of funding and ex-penses need to be looked into and re-viewed,” Arthur said.

Trustee Cho said that she wasn’t in the position to defend herself. She said she “works hard as a trustee” and even donates money to student scholarship funds. Administration officials con-firmed to LCCN that Cho has not at-tended six meetings since her election in 2007, and did not receive her monthly stipend. Cho countered, “I may have missed two or three meetings a year, but I work hard for the community I repre-sent,” she said.

“I don’t have a rationale excuse for taking the cash in lieu of payments. We (Trustees) have not voted to raise our own pay for two of the last three years,” Cho said. A psychiatrist by profession, Cho told LCCN that she is currently not working. “Everyone is going through rough times right now, and I am no ex-ception.”

Vic Diaz, Editor in Chief of the Talon Marks, the student run campus newspaper said he was “shocked” and “dismayed” learning about the amount of money that was being taken by the Trustees. “I had no idea that our Trust-

ees are pulling in that much money, es-pecially in these dire economic times,” Diaz said.

“We hear about fiscal gloom and doom from our Trustees month in and month out,” Diaz said. “I am trying to see how this is justifiable, but it is hard for me to wrap my mind around this,” he said. “That is a tremendous amount of money, and it could go towards a bet-ter use.”

LCCN has also confirmed that Areal Hughes, who is a student representative for the board, has been allow to partici-pate in the “cash in lieu” program and has received $6,135 and an additional $3,063 in stipends for a total of $9,198 for the 2011 calendar year.

Hughes said that she didn’t real-ize that Student Trustees were entitled to the cash in lieu, and told LCCN that she decided to take the payments after her orientation by college officials. She could not recall the name of the college official who enrolled her into the pro-gram” but that she is “grateful for the money.” Hughes also told LCCN that she also has private health insurance and the “extra cash has been a great help.”

Dr. Ted Stowells, President of the Cerritos College Faculty Federation, the union that represents all certified profes-sors at Cerritos College blasted the trust-ees and call it a “slap in the face to every faculty member, especially in these time shared sacrifices.

“Faculty members have lost their jobs, and the union wants an environ-ment of shared sacrifices, and frankly I am stunned,” Stowells.

“We have been bogged down in ne-gotiations with the Board of Trustees, and we have never known or been in-

formed that our elected trustees are tak-ing these funds,” Stowells said.

“This should be publicly known, we (CCFF) make requests all the time for information, and we are always brushed aside. Trustees have eroded our ben-efits, it is time for them to do the same,” Stowells said.

Stowells also said that part time in-structors get no benefit “whatsoever.” “How is this justifiable,” he questioned.

Solomon Namala, the incoming President of the CCFF, who also teaches Economics at Cerritos College said he this needs to become a “public conver-sation.”

Dr. Sandra Salazar, MD, is an an-nounced candidate for the 2012 Novem-ber Cerritos College Board and she told LCCN that she had no idea and is ap-palled by the board. “This reminds me of the City of Bell. We need an environ-ment of openness and accountability, not Trustees stuffing their pockets with cash,” she said.

Trustee Cho said that Cerritos Col-lege is in better shape compared to when she was first elected, but agreed with Arthur in saying that the board should examine the policy.

Hughlett, McHatton and Liu did not respond to inquiries from LCCN.

Assistant Director of Trade Development for the Port of Los Angeles, Cathy Li, a branch manager of Chinese Wing Lung Bank and Linda Fowells, Executive Vice President of Community Partners.

In a statement issued by Chen prior to their departure, the Cerritos Council-woman claims that the group’s main goal is to “study trade and transportation.” “The delegation will meet with automo-tive, clean energy and retail industries,” Chen said. They are scheduled to return to Los Angeles this Saturday.

But in documents obtained exclu-sively by Hews Media Group, the trip includes “scenic” tourist visits, limou-sine buses, river boat cruises of the water front of Shanghai, private tours of the Great Wall of China, as well as hotel ac-commodations at some of Asia’s most exclusive resorts.

HMG was sent brightly color bro-chures, produced by the City of Cerritos that promotes the trip that also solicits and “encourages” other local Southern California elected officials to participate in the excursion.

“The City of Cerritos is pleased to present an exciting opportunity in which a delegation of local elected officials and business leaders from Southern Califor-nia will be able to cultivate these rela-tionships. Participants will travel to ma-jor cities in China and Japan to meet with leaders in the automotive, clean energy, retail and transportation industries.”

“In our modern environment of eco-nomic globalization the success of our economic endeavors is directly affected by our exposure to business opportuni-ties at all levels-local, domestic, and in-ternational,” the promotional materials

state.“The best opportunities often are de-

pendent upon the business relationships that are cultivated through mutual inter-ests, which do not recognize international borders. The relationships usually can-not be developed in the course of regular business, but must be sought, identified and pursued proactively,” the mission statement of the group that is listed as “Southern California Elected Officials Economic Development and High Speed Rail Delegation to China and Japan.”ARRIVAL IN CHINA

Following their arrival this past Sat-urday, the marketing material for the event states “after this long transpacific voyage, it’s a pleasure to settle into your accommodations.”

The promotional tour brochure also touts of “corporate sponsorship opportu-nities” for the Delegation.

“At the corporate sponsorship level, each participant will receive a one-page biographical description and a brief written description of his/her company (in both English and Chinese) in the delegation’s promotional package. The company logo and name will appear on all promotional materials. In addition, participants will be invited to attend all business meetings and receptions with the delegation, and will find opportuni-ties to present their companies to high-level transportation officials and industry leaders in China and Japan.”

A “bilingual tour guide” was expect-ed to meet the delegation at which time they “were transferred by air conditioned coach tour to the reserved Sunworld Dy-nasty Beijing,” one of the “top 3-Star Rated Hotels in Asia.”

The delegation also has a formal meeting in Beijing with China’s Minis-

try of Railways Planning Director Zhang Jianping.

Last August, a high-speed train acci-dent in Wenzhou, China killed more than 40 people and Zhang was at the center of a firestorm about how the Communist government officials handled the trag-edy. The Wall Street Journal reported after the deadly crash government “cen-sors silenced the news media’s dogged reporting on railway negligence and cor-ruption, then starting censoring posts on micro blogs that has stoked outrage over the crash.”

On Tuesday they arrived in Tianjin, China via a high speed train for a meet-ing and a tour of the Tianjin Economic Development Area, and a visit with Cloud Computer Base Company.

On Wednesday the Delegation whisked off to Shanghai for a planned morning meeting with officials from SAIC Motor Corporation, Ltd. In the afternoon, according to published travel plans “will have a Huangpu River cruise and will view of the Water Front in Shanghai.”

Chen, Barrows and the group were slated to meet with the Shanghai Mag-lev Transportation Development Corpo-ration. Barrows has been a staunch ad-vocate of bringing a magnetic type train to Cerritos for the past two decades and has travelled extensively to Europe and Asian promoting the cause.

The group also planned to sit down and talk with Douglas Dong, from the Shanghai Foreign Investment Board and Overseas Investment Development, which is a subsidiary of Shanghai Mu-nicipal Commission of Commerce.

On Friday, the group is expected to be in Tokyo, Japan, for a visit to the JR Central Shinkansen Control Center that

oversees operation of that nation’s com-plex “bullet train” system.

The delegation also had a meeting planned with the Ministry of Land, In-dustry and Tourism as well as meeting with JR East, and or JR Central real es-tate division to discuss rail station devel-opment.

In a statement to HMG, Chen said that “the delegation will experience and study the various modes of high speed rail technology including the bullet train, high speed trains and maglev as a basis of comparison to determine the best alterna-tives for implantation in California.”

Chen points out that “the trade mis-sion was made possible by the collabora-tion of SCAG and Community Partners/VerdeXchange Institute.” She also said that “individuals who are not govern-ment officials will be paying their own expenses.” But according to SCAG of-ficials, at least $10,000 was approved to cover the expenses of Barrows and Santa Monica Councilwoman O’Connor for the trip during a Mar. 1st meeting of the Board of Directors of SCAG.

Artesia City Manger Maria Dadian confirmed to LCCN that “no city funds from Artesia was used” towards the cost associated with Councilman Lima. “As far as I know, Councilman Lima paid his own way and own expenses and that no city funds from Artesia were utilized.”

Glendale City Councilman Frank Quintero, who is the President of the Or-ange Line Development Authority told HMG in a statement on Wednesday after-noon through city public information of-ficer Tom Lorenz that “Frank was asked by SCAG if he was interested to attend as a representative from Orangeline.”

“Frank initially was interested, but made no plans to attend."

They are Councilman Victor Manlo, Sheth and family, Mayor Pro Tem Sally Flowers, Artesia Librarian Barbara Nightingale, Albania, Councilmember Tony Lima, Miguel Canales, and Mayor John Lyon.

Certificate of Recognition Presented to Artesia Youth

Dr. Mary Anne Gularte begins her post July 1

NORWALK, Calif. - April 11, 2012 - Dr. Mary Anne Gularte has been selected as Vice President/Assistant Superintendent of Human Resources at Cerritos College. The Cerritos College Board of Trustees ap-proved her contract at its regular meeting on March 7. Interim Vice President Victor Collins will finish his contract at the end of June.

Beginning July 1 Dr. Gularte will over-see the Human Resources Office and all of human resources and employee relations programs at Cerritos College.

"I am deeply honored and extremely excited to be given the opportunity to join the Cerritos College community," said Dr. Gularte. "With the College's rich history

and through Dr. Lacy's leadership, I am eager to work with faculty, staff, student leaders, and fellow administrators to help Cerritos College maintain its tradition of excellence in providing equitable and high-quality programs in support of our students and their success. I look forward to getting to know my new colleagues and furthering the mission and vision of the College."

Dr. Gularte, who most recently served as Vice Chancellor of Human Resources Services and Organizational Development at Chabot-Las Positas Community College District, brings many years of experience in administration to her new post.

At Chabot-Las Positas, Dr. Gularte pro-vided leadership and direction for the Of-fice of Human Resource Services and was responsible for the development, organiza-tion, and implementation of an effective and integrated human resource system.

Dr. Gularte's career spans more than 30 years in higher education. Prior to Chabot, she has held senior-level human resources administrative positions at Oklahoma State University and the University of Florida.

She holds a doctorate in human re-source development and adult education and a master's in occupational and adult education, both from Oklahoma State Uni-versity, and a bachelor's degree in experi-mental psychology from the University of California, Santa Barbara.

"Mary Anne brings a wealth of human resource management knowledge, leader-ship, and expertise to Cerritos College. We are delighted to have her join the Cerritos College family and know she will make a difference here," said Cerritos College President/Superintendent Dr. Linda Lacy.

Cerritos College has launched Career Coach, an online tool that allows students and community members to explore career opportunities and industry information by visiting the college's website and clicking on the Career Coach button in the center column.

"This is free and available to students and the community," said Dr. Marilyn Brock, interim vice president of Academic Affairs at Cerritos College.

Through a simple keyword search, students and any visitor to the college's website can learn about the employment prospects of careers they want to research.

The real-time information is customized to the college's region and includes detailed wage estimates and up-to-date job post-ings associated with any career. Users can also explore the college's programs when searching for specific jobs.

"Jobs are listed in real time and per-son can search by miles from Cerritos to find employers who are hiring right now. I would encourage the community to use it," said Dr. Brock.

If a career doesn't look like the right fit, individuals can search for similar jobs and see the largest skill gaps to fill to move to that career. They can also search for ca-

reers based on the college's top training programs -- or the program or major they are interested in.

In addition, Career Coach includes a built-in resume builder to help students and jobseekers quickly and efficiently put together an updated resume with key skills and job experience highlighted.

Career Coach is available to the public and does not require a user name or pass-word. For more information or to request assistance in using Career Coach, contact the Cerritos College Academic Affairs at http://cms.cerritos.edu/academic-affairs/contact-us.htm.

COMMUNITYSPORTSST. PAUL EASTER BASEBALL TOURNAMENT

By Loren Kopff

In 10 previous starts during his three and a half seasons as a varsity member, John Glenn senior pitcher John Lemos never

gave up more than three runs in the first in-ning of any game. But this past Tuesday af-ternoon, he doubled that number.

However, a taste of the future pitching kept the Eagles in the game and allowed the offense to scratch and claw its way to an unbelievable 12-9 victory over Bishop

Montgomery in nine innings this past Tues-day to wrap up pool play action in the an-nual St. Paul Easter Baseball Tournament. First-year head coach Jack Brooks saw his team score eight runs in the fifth, sixth and seventh innings combined to tie the game, then push across three more in the top of the ninth on only one hit.

“The one reason why we won the game was Frank Rodarte,” Brooks said. “He kept us in the game. That was his third, fourth and fifth innings of the year. That was huge. I knew if we could somehow stay in the game and get one [here] and two [there] and keep it close…in the seventh, we had some breaks.”

Rodarte, a junior, replaced Lemos to be-gin the bottom of the second and quickly sat down the first seven batters on 18 pitches. He pitched three innings, threw 41 pitches and gave up three runs, one of which was earned.

Lemos threw the same number of pitch-es and only faced 11 batters. He gave up six straight hits to begin the game, the last a two-run home run down the left field line from Eric Garcia. Meanwhile, the Glenn of-fense was sputtering as it had just one hit through the first four innings, a run scoring knock from junior second baseman Ricky Padilla which allowed freshman third base-man Luis Rosas to make it 6-1 in the sec-ond.

The Knights added two runs in the bot-tom of the fourth before the Eagles began to make their comeback. Andy Burschinger walked senior catcher Ronaldo Acuna to

begin the fifth and after a strikeout, walked senior shortstop Jesse Gutierrez. An error allowed junior designated player Rene Gay-tan to be safe at first which brought home Acuna. Junior right fielder Cesar Arzate plated Gutierrez on a fielder’s choice and Rosas followed with a run scoring single, making it 8-4.

After Bishop Montgomery added its last run, Glenn countered with two in the sixth. Acuna, who was hit by a pitch, scored on a wild pitch and Arzate’s two-out base hit plated Lemos, who earlier singled. Padilla led off the seventh with a single, freshman left fielder Victor Sanchez was walked and junior center fielder Arturo Loera was hit to load the bases. One out later, Padilla scored on a wild pitch on the first ball thrown to Lemos, who would eventually ground out. But Gutierrez tied the contest with a base hit to center.

While Glenn (7-11 overall) was mak-ing its comeback, Rosas picked up where Rodarte left off and worked the final five innings, scattering three hits and striking out four. The biggest of those four came in the fifth when he got Burschinger to look at strike three with the bases loaded.

“I was really proud of the kid,” Brooks said. “He threw strikes and kept them off balanced. He struck out their [number] three hitter in a big situation. That was maybe a breakout performance for him; to give him some confidence moving forward.”

That would be the first of six straight Rosas retired and he allowed only one run-ner to reach second. From the sixth through

the ninth frames, Rosas allowed four run-ners to reach base.

Meanwhile, Loera was hit by a pitch to begin the ninth. Following a sacrifice from Acuna, Lemos was safe at second on an er-rant throw and went to third on a wild pitch. Four pitches later, Gutierrez laid down a bunt that straddled the first base line and stayed in play as Lemos touched home plate. The tying run was made possible when Padilla was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded.

In all, Glenn got eight hits, had seven batters walked, another seven were hit by a pitch and six batters reached on an error. Gutierrez and Padilla each had two hits.

“All I have been saying to our kids is you can’t strike out and you have to put the ball in play,” Brooks said. “The walks will come. We had three sacrifices and a squeeze down. That’s what it’s all about.”

Glenn opened the tournament last Sat-urday with a 6-3 comeback win against Warren, then blasted Aquinas 16-3 this past Monday. Glenn was to face Mary Star of the Sea this past Wednesday in one semifinal game in the AA division of the tournament but that has been postponed until Apr. 21. The Eagles will visit Norwalk on Wednes-day to begin the home and home season series.

“I hope it helps them believe in them-selves and I hope it shows them to buy in to what myself and the coaching staff is sell-ing,” Brooks said. “It’s the style and the type of baseball that we have to play to be suc-cessful because we’re not going to hit home runs. We’re not going to hit doubles.”

Cerritos extends winning streak as Iseri’s pitching, hitting baffles ArtesiaBy Loren Kopff

The wins keep coming for the Cerritos softball team this season while the Suburban League losses keep piling

up for Artesia. Behind 11 strikeouts from freshman Jennifer Iseri, her second highest output of her brief high school career, the Lady Dons scored six runs in the bottom of the sixth to put away the visiting Pioneers 11-1 last Thursday.

Cerritos, the 10th ranked team in the California Interscholastic Federation-Southern Section Division II poll, won for the 12th straight time after an opening sea-son loss and improved to 6-0 in the league. It’s the longest winning streak since win-ning 12 straight in 1999.

In addition to her brilliant performance in the circle, Iseri was also three for four at the plate and drove in three runs. The big hit was a two-run shot over the centerfield fence in the sixth. Iseri leads the team in hitting (.561 average), hits (23), runs bat-ted in (19), walks (nine), doubles (six) and home runs (four). She is also 9-1 in the cir-cle with a 1.37 earned run average and has struck out 82 batters.

“I think she has more to give,” said Cer-ritos head coach Bob Medina. “She’s learn-ing everyday and I think she figures it out. It really works really nice. Jen’s deal is to learn how to play at an older level.”

The Lady Dons scored a pair of runs in the first inning when sophomore designated

player Lilianna Herrera singled in freshman pinch runner Megan Darling and freshman left fielder Madison Lee scored on a wild pitch. Cerritos doubled its lead in the next inning when senior center fielder and Bay-lor University-bound Sarah Smith laced a double down the left field line to bring home senior third baseman Alyssa Mar-quez. On the very next pitch, Smith scored on a Iseri’s second hit of the game.

With Cerritos up 5-0, the Pioneers (8-9, 0-4) finally got on the board in the top of the sixth when junior center fielder Domin-ique Gonzales reached on an error and later scored on a single from freshman catcher Briana Perez. It was only the third hit Arte-sia got off of Iseri.

“Pitching-wise, they’ve improved,” Medina said of Artesia. “Fielding-wise, I believe they’ve improved. Offensive-wise, they’ve improved. It’s a matter of just get-ting them out there playing ball and playing catch more often than not. This is how the team is going to get better. [Head coach Jeff Hovis] has a plan for them and I think that will be pretty good for that team.”

Cerritos, which has scored at least 11 runs in all six of its league games and has outscored Artesia, Bellflower and John Glenn 85-9, finally put Artesia away when it sent 10 batters to the plate and torched ju-nior pitcher Dominique Moran for four hits and six runs in the sixth. Two other batters reached on errors and the game-ending run was scored on a wild pitch.

“She didn’t hit her spots and [Iseri] got

up,” said the first-year head coach of Mo-ran. “That girl was three for four and we were trying to keep her away. She was just a tough out all the way around. And then she didn’t get the pitch out where she was supposed to and she got it out of the plate. From that point, we should have been out of the inning. A couple of errors [also] cost us.”

The mercy rule has been used in five of the six league games thus far but Medina said that’s never the intentions of Cerritos. In fact, in the two games against Artesia, the Lady Dons didn’t put the game away until the fifth and sixth innings respectively. If anything, Medina was displeased with the fact that his players were chasing bad pitches and he didn’t like their approach to hitting.

“That’s kind of not our plan,” Medina said. “I have a lot a respect for Artesia. Jeff is a good guy. It’s not your idea of putting them away. It’s trying to play the game the proper way. It’s their approach at home plate.”

“Our whole job is not to come out here and mercy the teams that people want to mercy,” he added. “I just want to play a good game and I want everybody to play that way.”

Junior right fielder Bianca Espinoza went three for four with a run scored while Herrera and Marquez each collected a pair of hits as the Lady Dons are batting a blis-tering .409. Five everyday players are bat-ting at least .400 and another four everyday

players are batting at least .343. Cerritos is scheduled to participate in the Loara Tour-nament on Saturday, then begin the toughest part of its league schedule on Wednesday with a road meeting at defending co-league champion Mayfair.

For the Pioneers, they have gone in reverse since the beginning of the season. Once ranked in the division Top 10 poll when they were 7-2, Artesia has lost seven of its last eight games and has not won on the field since Mar. 15. The lone win since that time was a forfeit against St. Bernard. Artesia has also lost 48 consecutive league games.

“They’re growing, they’re really grow-ing,” Hovis said. “They’re seeing each game and they’re understanding each game. They’re understanding their problems and mistakes. We’re having injury problems and we’re trying to fight through them and trying to get healthy. We have Spring Break which will give us time to get healthy against La Mirada, and then we have the second half of the season. It doesn’t show on the scoreboard but it shows with their attitude on the field and it shows with how they don’t give up and they keep fighting.”

While Cerritos has a tougher league slate the rest of the way, the Pioneers have an easier road. After facing La Mirada next week, Artesia will have John Glenn, Nor-walk and Bellflower during the last three weeks of the regular season and hopes to reach the playoffs for the first time since 1992.

By Tom Connolly

During the spring break the La Mirada High School baseball team took a week off from Suburban League play and partici-pated in the St. Paul Baseball Tournament. However, the results have been a mixed outcome for the Matadores.

The tournament, which was comprised of two divisions and a total of 34 teams, was played at six different locations over a span of five days. La Mirada was situated in the AAA division in a bracket format.

In game one of the of the tournament last Saturday afternoon at La Mirada High the Matadores’ hurlers yielded 17 hits and fell to San Pedro, 18-7. The game was tied 3-3 after four innings before the Pirates’ of-fense erupted for 15 runs-nine in the fifth, two in the sixth and four in the seventh–to break open a close game. The Matadores also issued seven walks and committed three errors.

To make matters worse Matadores starting pitcher, Cody Kruip, left the game

with an arm injury. Kruip pitched four in-nings before being relieved in the fifth in-ning. He remained in the game and played left field.

In the fifth Kruip injured his left (throwing) shoulder after making several relay throws to the infield. On his second relay throw Kruip showed immediate signs of discomfort with his shoulder. Follow-ing the play La Mirada head coach Kim Brooks removed Kruip from the game for precautionary measures. .

“Cody pinched a nerve when he relayed the ball into the infield,” said Brooks. “He threw it in an awkward position across his body and off balance. He made a second throw from the same position and that’s when he pinched a nerve in his shoulder. He’s going to be fine. He can still DH but I don’t plan to pitch him until next week when we’ll back in league play.”

Despite the loss Kruip and Blake Wil-son did manage three hits a hit a piece.

In game two on Monday, pitcher Austin Rojo (2-2), threw a complete game and La

Mirada earned a 4-2 victory over El Segun-do. Blake Wilson was three for three with a double, Kruip was two for four with two RBIs and Jeff Murray went two for three with a double.

In game three on Tuesday the Matado-res jumped out to a 3-0 lead but Valencia rallied back for an 8-3 win.

“Eric Tapper pitched well against Va-lencia but we made a couple of errors and that hurt us,” Brooks added. “Eric pitched well enough to win.”

Overall Brooks said his pitching has been good this season but the hitting has struggled.

“Our pitching has been solid and our defense has been good,” said Brooks. “Ali Anthony hasn’t allowed an earned run in league yet this season and his ERA is 0.50, yet he’s lost two games because we’re not hitting. Cody and Austin have done a good job for us. But again our hitting has been frustrating and when one part of your game is down the others parts get magnified and tighten up.

“We’ve struggled to score runs and hit well when the count is in our favor,” he continued. “We’ve been executing our drills in practice but in the games we’re not taking advantage of our at bats when we’re ahead in the count.”

Brooks said he’s using this tournament to get many of his player’s game experi-ence.

“Our goal in the tournament is to work on all aspects of our game and improve for league,” said Brooks. “I get a chance to play kids in these games who don’t normal-ly get a lot of playing time. Since we play four games in five days our pitching needs to be deep. I get to see how the kids react on the mound in real game situations. It’s a good opportunity because you never know when we’ll need them during league.”

La Mirada’s final game of the tourna-ment was scheduled for Wednesday but was postponed due to rain. The Matadores, who are 9-10-1 overall and 4-2 in league play, will make up the game on Thursday against Santa Fe.
