La Palma Police Accuse City of Unfair Labor PracticesBy Larry Caballero

After months of unsuccessful labor negotiations between the La Palma Police Association (LPPA) and La

Palma, the City received a notice of an Un-fair Practice Charge Sep. 19 from the State of California Public Employment Rela-tions Board on behalf of the (LPPA) that read that the City had violated government codes “by violating its duty to meet and confer in good faith.”

More specifically the police union is accusing the City of violations of their right to participate in a union, retaliation against an employee and in its implemen-tation of the last, best and final offer.

HAWAIIAN GARDENS CANDIDATE ARROYO DEFENDS RESIDENCY, LACK OF VOTING RECORDBy Randy Economy

Mauricio Arroyo is campaigning hard for a seat on the Hawaiian Gardens City Council, yet offi-

cial LA County voting records indicate he has never voted in a past Hawaiian Gar-dens city council elections, Los Cerritos Community News has learned.

The first time candidate in the upcom-ing November 8th Hawaiian Gardens City Council election changed his voter regis-tration just days before filing to become an official candidate in the campaign.

According to documents obtained from Los Angeles County Registrar of Voters Office, Los Cerritos Community News has confirmed that the 46-year-old Arroyo changed his voter registered status on July 8, 2011 and indicated a “change of address” to a residence located at the 21000 block of

Petsmart to Open Store in Cerritos Town CenterBy Jerry Bernstein

The Cerritos City Council approved a Planning Commission recommenda-tion for a conditional use permit for

Veterinary services will be run by Banfield, a licensed affiliate of PetSmart and will consist of outpatient care, routine

HOMETOWN HERO’ BANNER PROGRAM TO HONOR ACTIVE MILITARY MOVES FORWARD IN NORWALKBy Randy Economy

Aseemingly non-controversial item of honoring active military members who live in the city of Norwalk by

flying a banner emblazed with their name and branch they are serving met with a heated discussion at Tuesday’s city council meeting.

The “Hometown Heroes Banner Pro-gram” would consist of placing colorful decorative flag style banners

throughout the City that individually recognizes Norwalk residents serving in the armed forces. Similar programs have been developed in communities around the coun-

“Got Tdap? No Vaccination, No School”

Assembly Bill 354 required students to be immunized against pertussis (whoop-ing cough). Beginning this school year, all students in 7th through 12th grade who do not have the Tdap immunization will not be allowed to attend school beginning Monday, Oct. 10th. The State extended the deadline date an additional thirty days but that will expire on Friday, Oct. 7th. If students still do not show that they have a record of the Tdap vaccination, they will be sent home from school beginning Monday, Oct. 10th.

All schools have a record of each student that has still not complied with this new requirement. Efforts have been made throughout the past year to get all students to comply with this new immu-nization law. Please contact the District’s website at www.abcusd.k12.ca.us for additional information about the Tdap requirement as well as locations to obtain the vaccination.

A Union EndorsementBy Jerry Bernstein

ASSCME Local 3624 interviewed five of the six Hawaiian Gardens city coun-cil candidates on Sept. 22 in a collective meeting of City Management and Rank and File members of city employees.

When the closed vote was over, May-or Gomez and Councilman Victor Farfan had garnered 26 and 34 votes respective-ly. Kathy Trimble came in fourth with five votes, Adrian Avelar, six; and Mauricio C. Arroyo and Janet Arias with two each.

Later at its Sept. 27 meeting the council unanimously approved the exist-ing Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the city and the union

that expired on June30 for two years. The Council noted that with the current finan-cial uncertainty faced by public agencies it was best to extend the existing terms and conditions. Accusations Made

It was well into the meeting when Councilmember Barry Bruce let loose a tirade against the Community News , this writer and LCCN reporter Randy Economy calling out the integrity of the newspaper.

He questioned why the Community News recently began circulating through-out the city and questioned whether the city was paying for it. He also asked why the Mayor’s column in the newspaper just features the Hawaiian Gardens Mayor and not other mayors of the cities the newspa-per is circulated.

To answer his questions, no, the city is not paying for the newspaper to be deliv-ered to its residents. The LCCN is being delivered in Hawaiian Gardens because the residents have wanted a local and honest newspaper for a long time. LCCN has a loyal readership and we are filling a need.

Concerning the Mayor’s column; Mayor Gomez was asked to write the col-umn a few weeks back, he was informed it would run through the second week in October (LCCN has a policy of stopping columns if that person is running for local office) and thereafter it would be rotated with Mayor Columns from the other cities the Community News covers.

Bruce also took offense to the Sept. 23 newspaper story about Kathy Trimble saying what the story said about her not voting during the past 10 years wasn’t true. (He curiously avoided the residency question part f the article.)

We stated she did not vote in any city elections in the past. Trimble did vote in the past 10 years, when she lived in Long Beach but not in Hawaiian Gardens. The question; why is Councilman Bruce so mad about a story that was not about him and that revealed a major negative issue about a candidate running for city coun-cil? The only mention of Bruce in the story was that he endorsed Trimble.

As a voter in Hawaiian Gardens, would you not want to know that Trimble recently moved in to the city and Council-man Bruce and Rodriguez endorsed her as “a woman of intergrity”?

Another detractor of LCCN, coun-cil candidate Mauricio Arroyo, accused LCCN of malicious slander, contradicting the newspaper’s story why he was fired. This was said during Oral Comments

He admitted during an interview with LCCN earlier in the week he had worked for a consulting firm (not the city) and re-peated his statement he had been assigned to Hawaiian Gardens as a Code Enforce-ment Officer and Building Inspector. The LCCN has documents showing he was never hired as a Code Enforcement Of-ficer and was fired by the consulting firm.

Like Bruce, he has hinted at alleged corruption in city hall and said he was seeking election to end the “puppet re-gime” that has been in power to long. He didn’t say who is pulling the strings of the “puppets”.

Re: Kathy Trimble Residency

Is this an example of her (Trimble’s) honesty. Is this an example of what to

expect if she is elected. Her supporters should ask themselves what are her ulteri-or motives and are the 2 council members supporting her only because they want to be the majority vote. How much of her integrity and soul did she/will she sell to be part of the City Council. The pay is not that great Kathy!

LETTER TO THE EDITORLos Angeles County Redistricting has

become a hot issue with residents in every city in the County because gathering to or separating from your neighborhood city may significantly impact the future alli-ance of your community.

On Sept. 27, at 11 A.M. there were more than 1000 speakers gathered in the L. A. County Board Hearing Room waiting for their turn to speak. “You have one minute only.” County Mayor Anton-ovich warned each speaker not to speak more than one minute regardless of who we were. “What can you say in only one minute?” One elected official complained. People mobilized brilliant ideas to spotlight their speech in one minute. The audience was heated and divided in half to support either T1 and S2 or A3. The hearing was continued until 5 P.M.

As I am a School Board Member, I prioritize student success, and I believe it can be achieved when communities ally and work together. I support Don Knabe’s Plan A3 because it preserves the alliance of neighborhood School District as well as it fairly represents diversified ethnic communities.

L. A. County Redistricting prefers to be done not by racial gathering but by fair representation. Making a political sub-division because of race or nationality is not appropriate to the community because we all live together in a diversified ethnic community and harmonize with each other in the multi-cultural society.

ABC School District allied with Norwalk and La Mirada School District for many decades to jointly operate South East Academy and SELPA program. South East Academy focuses on Regional Occupation Programs for the students who want to pursue Career Technical em-

ployment opportunities after high school graduation.

Each year, students receive great benefits out of this wonderful program and receive job offers when they gradu-ate from high school. SELPA focuses on Special Education for the students who are disabled and need support to success-fully achieve academic performance. Two districts jointly operate the program to carry on the students’ needs. What if ABC and Norwalk La Mirada are divided into two County Districts? Is it possible to guarantee that these joint programs can be continued?

ABC District allies with Long Beach Unified School District under the um-brella of Cal State Long Beach to prepare teachers’ readiness to teach students. ABC District also allies with Downey, Bellflower, and Paramount, and Norwalk La Mirada School Districts to achieve academic performance for students in Kindergarten through 12 grades under the umbrella of Cerritos College Board of Trustees.

All the allied school districts exchange information with each other to reach a common goal of student success. Su-perintendents as well as School Board Members enthusiastically attend the meetings to seek ideas and to give better service to their students. What if County Redistricting separates ABC from Long Beach, Downey, Bellflower, Paramount, Norwalk - La Mirada Districts? Would it be possible to guarantee these wonderful programs could be continued?

County Redistricting should focus on fair representation. ABC School District serves more than six cities that include Artesia, Cerritos, East Lakewood, Hawai-ian Garden, Northern part of Long Beach, and Southern part of Norwalk. The District has more than 20,000 students who are culturally diversified by different ethnic groups.

Hispanic students heavily populates in the South region of ABC School District. Because of income and educational level, they receive more financial support than students living in the North. The District allocates additional funds of, Title 1, Eng-lish Language Learner, Special Education, and School Improvement plan. Likewise the District represents Hispanic Students more than fairly and spends more time to improve their academic performance.

Does it happen to ABC District only? No. it does not. It does happen to all the School Districts in the L.A. County area.

All in all, County Redistricting must be done, not by the reason of race or nationality, but by the concern of fair representation. We all live in a diversified multi-cultural community and respect each other’s ethnicity. I support Don Knabe and his plan because his plan will continuously support community alliance regardless of culture or ethnicity.

Mayors MessageHello Neighbors,

It’s a wonderful time to live and work in the city of Hawaiian Gardens. This week I was so pleased be able to vote to approve an employee requested 2 year extension of the MOU with no cuts or increases in benefits and compensation. Clearly our employees are telling us they understand the state of today’s economy and appreciate that the City Council has once again been able to pass a balanced budget with no furloughs or layoffs.

More importantly for our residents, with our employee’s assistance we have been able to:

• Maintain our quality of life through no cuts in City service levels

• Continue to keep our residents safe with no cuts in law enforcement/public safety services

• Strengthen our sense of community with no cuts in recreational services, including fully funded youth and

senior activity programs

• Increase our cash reserves by $1 million per year

With this agreement, our resolve to become partners in a quest to make Hawai-ian Gardens the envy of the region has been strengthened. There will be challenges, but together we will find a way to succeed. I applaud you for your continued commit-ment and dedication to your job and the residents you serve.

The City of Norwalk and members of the Arturo Sanchez Family are putting the final touches on the 28th Annual Arturo Sanchez Halloween Parade. The commu-nity event will be taking place on Satur-day, October 22 beginning at 11 a.m.

The annual parade was founded by the late community leader that bears his name more than three decades ago. The festive, grass roots event has grown into one of the largest community events of the year in Norwalk and attracts thou-sands of people lining the streets along Pioneer and Alondra Boulevards.

According to Art Sanchez, Jr., who is

also a member of the Norwalk Communi-ty Promotions Commission, and the son of the late Arturo Sanchez, Sr. this year’s event will continue to provide for a safe, festive event for the children of Norwalk, and is going to be featuring several area high school marching bands, including John Glenn High School, Norwalk High School, and the Norwalk All-City Band.

Sanchez said that anyone and ev-eryone in costume are welcomed to participate in this year’s event. “This event would not be possible without the dedicated help of volunteers who join us year in and year out,” Sanchez said.

Bill Kerns, Superintendent of Parks and Recreation for the City of Norwalk said that entrants are still being sought, and there is “no cost” to any group to participate.

“It you are a club, or organization, or business here in Norwalk, we want you to participate in the parade by putting together a float or a marching group, or even if you want to just wear a Hallow-een costume. This parade is put together by and for the community with hundreds of volunteers,” said Kerns.

Arturo Sanchez Sr. was one of the most loved and respected community leaders back when Norwalk was being established as a municipality in the mid 1950’s.

The Sanchez Family has a park and elementary school named in honor of their late patriarch, who is also respon-sible for pinning the cities official song, “Norwalk is Our City, Norwalk is Our Town.”

Several of the Sanchez family mem-bers including sons, daughters, grand children, great grandchildren, cousins, and honorary “Sanchez” family mem-bers will be participating and leading the event. Other participants Mayor Mike Mendez, Vice Mayor Cheri Kelly, Coun-cilmember Marcel Rodarte, Councilmem-ber Leonard Shryock, Councilmember Luigi Vernola, Assemblymember Tony Mendoza, Santa fe High School Band, Burbank High School Band, John Bur-roughs High School Band, Garey High School Band, Gahr High School Band, Santiago High School Band, Mountain View High School Band, South El Monte High School Band, Ganesha High School Band, Ross Middle School Band.

Also being featured will be Phantom Coaches Hearse Club, 97.9 FM La Raza, Latino 96.3 FM, Fullerton Harley HOGS, Norwalk Golf Center, Pharaohs Car Club, and Olan Mills Photography Studio.

This year’s Grand Marshalls will be the Norwalk Girls Softball Association State Champion All Star Team, which placed second in the recent National Girls Softball National Championships.

There is a costume contest at 9:15am and the parade begins at 11:00am.

Los Cerritos Community News is proud to be one of this year’s event sponsors. Check next week’s edition of LCCN for more details.

CERRITOS SHERIFF’S STATIONWeekly Crime SummarySeptember 19-25, 2011

Part I felony crimes dropped from 28 the previous week to 19 for this reporting period. Vehicle burglaries were up, but robberies, residential burglaries, commercial burglar-ies, and vehicle thefts declined. Calls for service also dropped from 277 to 255. The current 2011 weekly average in calls for ser-vice is 273.

One robbery was investigated. On Tues-day September 20 at 12:50 p.m. an ex-boy-friend assaulted a female victim in the 17500 block of Bloomfield Avenue and took her necklace.

Five residential burglaries were reported.

One was attributed to an open door, three windows were pried open, and one window was shattered. TVs, guitars, cash, jewelry, knives, a wallet, and headphones were miss-ing. The 2011 weekly average in residential burglaries remains at 3.8.

Rear windows and doors that are not prop-erly secured are the easiest and the most frequent points of entry in residential bur-glaries. Even though you have locked these doors and windows, it may still be possible to pry them open due to movement both lat-erally and vertically from the frame. Make sure that you have the necessary hardware installed, such as locking pins or inserts in the frame to inhibit movement, and that you check each one before departing the resi-dence.

One commercial burglary occurred at a fitness center where a lock was cut. A wal-let and an MP3 player were taken from the locker. The 2011 weekly average in commercial/“other structure” burglaries is 3.1.

Vehicle burglaries increased from six to nine last week. Nine of the thefts last week occurred in high-volume commercial park-ing lots. Eight were SUVs. Laptop comput-ers, cell phones, purses, wallets, a briefcase, and a third-row seat (from an SUV) were taken. The 2011 weekly average in vehicle burglaries remained at 6.4.

Remember, it is common knowledge that drivers will leave valuable items in the pas-senger compartment of their vehicles. This allows the would-be thief a “sure shot” when

breaking into your car. They have the oppor-tunity to see exactly what they want to take and will do so if you give them the chance. If you absolutely must have valuable items in the vehicle, make sure that they are locked in the trunk. If you do not have a trunk, take the property with you or leave it at home.

Vehicle thefts dropped from eight to one last week. A Honda was stolen from a resi-dential street. The 2011 weekly average in vehicle thefts is 2.9.

Even though we see more Hondas, Toyo-tas, and SUVs stolen compared to others, car thieves are not always as selective as you think and are often just looking for transpor-tation. Consider a steering wheel locking device that serves as a good visual deterrent.

The Cerritos Center for the Perform-ing Arts just happens to be the perfect place for dance performances from all over the world. It is such good fortune for locals that we can learn about other cultures in such a stimulating way with the music and choreography of places as exotic and far flung as all the continents on planet earth, excepting possibly Ant-arctica. On a rather energized Saturday the group Viver Brazil visited, not from South America but Los Angeles where the troupe formed in 1997 to show this amaz-ing Brazilian dance culture to the rest of America. This is an uncompromising show with live music, non-stop singing and spirited choreography put together by a husband and wife team of Linda Yudin and Luiz Badaro. The six pieces per-formed were unique unto themselves but are all based on centuries old traditions of Brazilian folklore and religion.

The opening piece with dancers in pure white was a celebration of the tradi-tion of the Great Spirit maintained by the first slaves taken to Bahia where they were supposedly converted but this dance to Orixas was their connection to their own cultures which they integrated into Brazilian life. With five percussionists providing a textured and rhythmic beat then performers turned the stage into a fascinating tableaux of color and move-ment when the second piece turned to the broadest exploration of the Great Chain of Life which saw synchronicity punctu-

ated by breakout solos in an extremely intricate and demanding style of modern dance. Remarkable throughout was the robust singing of Katia Moraes, provid-ing a narrative that rose above even the

thundering drums of five tireless drum-mers. Ms. Moraes is a vocal powerhouse who seems ready to sing at full throttle all night long.

The second half was even more engaging with the initial piece “identity” trying to connect the artists on stage with the people in the audience. It also includ-ed a finish with a flourish, an extremely physical mixture of dance and gymnastics by Leandro DaSilva that left the audience agog and caused a sigh or two from ladies in attendance. “In Motion” was the high-light of the entire show with the dancers turned loose for some full out expression on a canvas “painted” with sound and motion of a Brazilian martial arts called Samba de Roda spiced by contemporary West African and Brazilian dance moves. One of the most compelling parts of the entire performance is that the danc-ers really work hard and are not afraid to show sweat which demonstrates the passion of the dance. There was plenty of perspiration and plenty of passion. There was just a small break with a charming duet between Katia Moraes and Vania Amaral comparing Rio and Bahia that good-naturedly called out each region that then blended into a wild finale celebrating Carnaval. Here the dancers used the tradi-tion of blocos afro or parading in groups to show community and affection for the society. In dazzling costume and danc-ing that defied seemed as fresh and strong as in the opening number Viver Brazil warmed the big hall with a particular Brazilian glow.

Since Keith Coffman opened Wellness Medical Equipment and Medical Supplies in La Palma Sep. 1, customers have been continually thanking him for opening his business in the City.

“I’ve always wanted to open up a business that would be a friendly place for home health care professionals, nurses, and anyone involved in the health care industry,” said Coffman.

He has been involved in the health care business for more than 25 years, ever since he graduated from Cal-State University, Long Beach. His 1600 square foot facility specializes in diabetic shoes and wound care products, but custom-ers will be pleased with the variety of mobility products, patient room supplies, bathroom safety products, compression support and orthopedic supplies.

Coffman also provides numerous aids to daily living products and diabetic,

incontinence and urological supplies. “Of course, “ said Coffman, “there will always be a generous supply of gauze and latex and vinyl gloves.”

The store can be found on the corner of Valley View and La Palma Avenue next to Walgreens.

Coffman encourages customers to “stop by and check out our new show-room today, or call us at 714-868-8544.”

LPPA is also suing the City over con-tested documents. The civil case will be held in the Orange County Superior Court, and an unlimited amount is demanded that could exceed $25,000 since “monetary” was the category checked for “type of remedies” on the notice.

La Palma Councilmember Steve Hwangbo was disappointed that the LPPA had decided to sue the City. “All this will do is to incur more costs for the City,” said Hwangbo.

City attorney Joel Kuperberg said, “The

City believes that both union actions are unwarranted and, as such, the City Council at its Sep. 20 City Council meeting autho-rized the defense of both items.”

Prior to Jul. 21, the City’s best offer included a three-year agreement in which LPPA members would pay 3% of the em-ployee contribution towards retirement, an additional 3% the second year, and an ad-ditional 3% the third year. The City had previously paid all of the employee con-tributions.

The parties, including LPPA represent-ed employees, met on Jul. 21 at which time Administrative Services Manager Laurie Murray presented its “last, best and final

three year and one year offers.”The LPPA contends that the City’s offer

“is effectively a threat—if the LPPA does not agree to the City’s three-year offer, the City will impose a much harsher one year contract requiring LPPA members to pay the entire 9% employee contributions to-ward their retirements as well as imposing other oppressive take-aways.”

LPPA is calling the offer “draconian in comparison with the first 3% PERS con-tribution contained in the first year of the City’s previous three year offer.”

Meanwhile the police union’s attor-neys and two residents have filed a Notice of Intent to Circulate Petition for a ballot initiative to require 26 full-time officers to be employed in order to collect the City’s Utility Users Tax. The Notice defines "av-erage salary and benefits" significantly higher than what the City currently pays--including "salary" being defined as top step base pay.

A quick estimate of the "average" in salaries and benefits for other munici-palities, and the cost of three new top step police officers, could increase annual police personnel costs by approximately $600,000, not including employer pension contributions.

La Palma Police Officers have earned a 16% raise over the last three years, and they earn more than $100,000 a year with salary and benefits paid entirely by the City.

The Notice intent would bring three new officers to La Palma--a city that al-ready has the fastest response time in

Orange County and has one of the low-est crime rates (117 crimes/100K that is well below the national average of 319 in 2010).

La Palma resident Robert Carruth was angry. “I feel betrayed. I feel like we can no longer deal with them in good faith,” said Carruth. “The other employees have already agreed to this, and they did it with-out a fight.”

The proponents would need to collect nearly 900 signatures of registered voters to qualify the measure for the ballot, and more than 1300 would be required to force the City to hold a special election.

ment,” said Cho. Gyeongsangnam-do is located at the

southeastern end of the Korean Peninsula and borders on Busan and Ulsan. The to-tal area is 10.5% of the total area of South Korea, and it is the 4th largest province in the country.

Gyeongsangnam-do delegates said they are striving to set a new level of relation-ship with its residents through openness and transparency of all government mat-ters. Policies and procedures are being de-veloped and various communication tools and software are being evaluated.

“Visiting a model city like Cerritos will provide the opportunity to learn more about its high standards and to bring much experience to Gyeongsangnam-do Prov-ince,” said Cho.

try and have met with strong community support.

The program has been promoted by sev-eral longtime community leaders, including Councilman Luigi Vernola, Councilman Marcel Rodarte, who remains on active reserve duty in the US Air Force, Frank Napolitano, the husband of US Rep. Grace Napolitano.

The intent of the program is simple in concept, but it turned into a hot topic be-tween Councilman Leonard Shryock and Vice Mayor Cherie Kelly when they ques-tioned the “process” and the implementa-tion of the program, and how it was going to be managed and who would be respon-sible for collecting the fees for the program from interested participants.

“We need to make sure that all of the funds are accounted for, and to make sure the program runs smoothly,” Shryock said.

Vernola and Rodarte voiced strong sup-port and confidence in how the program was going to be enacted, and how the funds would be overseen.

“This is about recognizing those indi-viduals who are putting their lives on the line each day for our freedom,” Vernola said. “This isn’t about making money, or profit,” he added.

The program was originally discussed nearly four years ago by members of the Norwalk Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors, but it failed to garner much sup-port.

On Tuesday the item eventually was ap-proved on a 5-0 vote and now the program will be able to move forward.

Norwalk’s Park and Recreation Services Department has successfully utilized many public utility poles during the past number in decades to promote city events and activ-ities such as the Annual Independence Day Celebration, The Arturo Sanchez Hallow-een Parade, and other holiday activities.

“We already have a significant amount of hardware already in place,” Vernola add-ed. “So it’s not like we are reinventing the wheel.”

If the program is as successful, city staff pointed out that additional bracket hard-ware will be required, but once installed; the bracket hardware will have long-term value in that it will expand existing pro-grams for additional banner programs in the future.

The City will still need to get permis-sion and authorization from Edison for the “Hometown Hero Banner Program,” since the public utility current owns many of them, but no opposition is expected, city staff told the council.

If all goes according to plan, residents could start seeing the new “Hometown He-roes” banners popping up prior to the up-coming Veteran’s Day holiday that will be held on November 11th.

examinations and vaccinations, pharmacy, dental care and surgical procedures within a 1,310-sq. ft. area on the main floor.

The proposed hours the store would be open are Monday through Saturday from 9 a.m. to 9. p.m. and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. with drop-offs for grooming by ap-pointments. Boarding reservations as early at 7 a.m. Product deliveries will occur twice a week between the hours of 5 a.m. and 5 p. m.

Lopez said the store has two entrances located on the south (front) and the north-east side opening onto the food court. PetS-mart will replace the northeast doors with windows of the same style and pattern as the existing glass wall. He said the play area on the main floor will be visible through the glass wall and will provide a visual view for the shoppers in the food court area.

In other business the council approved a resolution requesting the governor to veto a bill passed by the legislature, (SB 244), that requires cities to address disadvantaged unincorporated communities with the next

revision of the housing element and also requires the Local Agency Formation Com-mission (LAFCO) to deny any application for annexation if it is contiguous to a dis-advantaged community, unless a second ap-plication is filed to annex the disadvantaged community.

Assistant City Manager Kathleen Jung Matsumoto said the law will impose addi-tional costs on cities to identify, map and described every disadvantaged community within the sphere of influence, and perform an analysis of infrastructure and public safety needs. “It also violates local author-ity as it places requirements on certain land use decisions of a city.

The council also approved a resolution requesting the governor to sign Senate Bill SBX14 that would remove the maintenance of effort (MOE) requirement in order for cities to receive Option for Public Safety (COPS) funding.

Matsumoto said many cities facing fi-nancial difficulty were required to reduce public safety funding from the previous fis-cal year and would not be eligible to receive the previous COP grant allocation if the bill is not approved.

Claretta Avenue. Additional certified records obtained

by Los Cerritos Community News from County Registrar Dean Logan also con-firms that Arroyo has only voted in one recent previous election, that being the November 8, 2008 Presidential election.

In an interview with LCCN Publisher Brian Hews, Editor Jerry Bernstein and Reporter Randy Economy on Monday, Ar-royo said he has lived in Hawaiian Gar-dens for the past “five and a half months,” but that he had registered to vote in the one square mile city two years earlier, and that he recently moved “from one part of Ha-waiian Gardens into another part” of the city.

Arroyo is the second candidate to have their residency called into question with-in the past two weeks. Previously it was discovered by LCCN that council hopeful Kathy Trimble moved into the one square mile community and registered to vote on June 1st of this year from a location in Long Beach.

Registrar Logan also confirmed that Trimble has participated in past elections as a voter during 2000, 2002, 2004, 2005, and 2008 and in the 2010 General Elec-tion. Like Arroyo, her voting record does not show her taking part in a Hawaiian Gardens City Council election during the past 12 years.

Trimble has refused comment over the situation, and repeated calls to her by Los Cerritos Community News have gone un-returned.

Arroyo said he is running because of a “puppet regime” that has existed at city hall for the past number of years. “You should go into the Latino community, which is a vast majority, and just ask them about my character and ask them about (my) person, and they will let you know,” but he said “if you ask city officials, I don’t know if you will get the same response.”

He also said that his residency in Ha-waiian Gardens should not be a detractor in his current campaign effort. Arroyo also said he wants to “bring down” the walls of communications between city council members and administrators.”

According to filings with the California Secretary of State’s office, Arroyo and his campaign treasurer Cecy Groom, a former member of the ABC Unified School Dis-trict Board of Education, were issued an official campaign committee identification number that lists a location on the same 21900 block of Claretta Avenue as the primary location of the campaign commit-tee called “Arroyo for City Council 2011. Vote to Clean Up City Hall.”

GAHR ROLLS ARTESIA, WINS THIRD STRAIGHT ABC SCHOOL DISTRICT CROWN

By Loren Kopff

For a while, the Artesia boys and girls basketball programs were the best within the ABC School District. The Cerritos boys and girls tennis programs have been dominating the area as well as the Suburban League for

over a decade.But in football, that’s where Gahr is the

king of the district. The Gladiators roughed up host Artesia 52-14 last Friday night and held on to the Milk Barrel for the third straight time and fifth in the last six years. It was Gahr’s second straight game of scor-ing over 50 points and has now tacked on 175 points in its four wins this season. Dur-ing their three-year district dominance, the Gladiators and their passing attack have out-scored Artesia and Cerritos 291-40.

“It’s not about them,” said Gahr head

coach Greg Marshall of his district foes. “It’s about us because we have to play better ev-ery week. That’s what we look for.”

The Pioneers, who have been play-ing from behind all season, took the open-ing kickoff and scored 41 seconds into the contest when junior quarterback Francisco Galan found senior wide receiver Darius Pyles open for a 77-yard score, the longest scoring play for Artesia this season. It was also Galan’s sixth touchdown pass as has accounted for all but two of Artesia’s touch-downs this season. It marked only the second

COMMUNITYSPORTStime that Gahr had trailed all season.

“It was third and long and we ran a choice route,” said Artesia head coach Joe Veach. “They played us to the outside, he broke a skinny post and we put the ball where we needed it to be. Darius is as talented as most of the receivers in the area.”

“I told them if we blow coverages against these guys, Artesia will score with that,” Marshall said.

Artesia was looking for more after Gahr junior kicker Isaiah Soto was wide left on a 40-yard field goal attempt and had driven to the Gahr 43-yard line. But Galan was sacked for the second straight play and the Pioneers had to punt. That set the stage for Gahr’s air attack to go to work. Immediately, senior quarterback Eric Richardson connected with senior wide receiver Dwayne Washington for 85 yards and again to senior wide receiv-er Delshawn McClellon for the two-point conversion.

Then three minutes later, Washington caught a six-yard score to increase Gahr’s lead to 15-7. Midway through the second quarter, senior running back Zach Otto went in from four yards out to score Gahr’s sec-ond rushing touchdown of the season. It would remain 22-7 until the 2:57 mark when Richardson found sophomore wide receiver Christian Pabico for 10 yards. On Artesia’s second play following that score, junior free safety Patrick Enewally picked off Galan and went 60 yards to the house as Gahr took a 36-7 halftime lead.

By this time, Richardson had completed 15 of 20 passes for 257 yards while Wash-ington and McClellon were at 116 and 100

COMMUNITYSPORTSreceiving yards respectively. Richardson would finish with 360 yards and five touch-downs. In four games, he has already thrown 19 touchdowns.

“They ran some coverages against us that we haven’t seen, so [Eric] had to have a clear vision, a learning curve on that,” Marshall said. “He did really well handling that. That was good for him to see that defense because we haven’t seen that defense [yet].”

As for the Pioneers, Galan was doing his part through the first 17 minutes, going six for 12 for 125 yards. But he missed his next eight passes including three interceptions and Artesia picked up 52 yards of offense the rest of the way.

“They started throwing different things and I don’t think we made the best adjust-ments to what they were doing,” Veach said. “[Galan] started out good and he took a cou-ple of shots, which throws him off.

“Our defense was a step away from mak-ing a play on almost every single play,” Veach added. “We were in the right spot and we did a little thing wrong each time. If we were supposed to jam, we didn’t jam. They ran slants in front of our linebackers and instead of stepping up in front of them, we stayed behind them.”

Richardson would throw a pair of touch-downs within the first 5:43 of the third quar-ter, a 31-yard strike to Washington and a 22-yard connection to Enewally. Washing-ton caught seven passes for 160 yards while McClellon led everyone with nine receptions for 123 yards. The Gladiators have this week off before hosting Bell on Thursday to wrap up their non league portion of the schedule. The current combined record of Gahr’s non league opponents is 3-14, leaving some to wonder if the Gladiators are ready for the San Gabriel Valley League. Those members aren’t faring too well either as Dominguez, Downey, Lynwood, Paramount and Warren currently have a combined record of 4-13-1.

“I think they will be [ready],” Marshall said. “Even if we had Trabuco Hills, it gets us ready for league. We just had our chal-lenge [against Northwood] early. But we can’t turn the ball over no matter who we play. I’m surprised we held Artesia down the way we did.”

Artesia’s final touchdown came early in the fourth quarter when junior backup quar-terback Jeremy Gaskin scrambled for a 15-yard score. He ended up as the team’s lead-ing rusher, picking up 44 yards on six carries. The winless Pioneers concluded their non league slate and will visit Norwalk tonight to begin Suburban League action.

“I just told the kids that preseason didn’t go like we wanted but league starts now and that’s really where it counts,” Veach said.

“Our goal is to make the playoffs. Where we are now compared to a year ago…we’re light years away. The record doesn’t show it and not all of the scores show it but we’ve had more success this year than we had last year. The attitude is better this year than it was a year ago. Everything is better.”

SUBURBAN LEAGUE VOLLEYBALL

NORWALK EASILY HANDLES ARTESIA

GOING AWAYBy Loren Kopff

Although it’s just the second week of the Suburban League slate, the Norwalk girls vol-leyball team is trying to do something that Ar-tesia did last season-end a long playoff drought. At the same time, the Pioneers are going in the opposite direction and after this past Tuesday’s match, they opened the door a bit for the Lanc-ers to claim one of the four automatic playoff berths from the league.

The visiting Lancers swept Artesia for the first time since Oct. 15, 2008 and only the third time this decade, 25-19, 25-14, 25-8 and im-proved to 3-3 overall and 2-1 in league action. Norwalk hasn’t been to the playoffs since 2005 and since then, hasn’t won more than three league matches in any season.

“During practice we worked on a lot of stuff like backing up and making sure that we take full approaches,” said Norwalk head coach Quoc Nguyen. “I actually changed the lineup. I switched our setter to the front row so that she has more options. It was a little differ-ent for the girls. But overall I think they did a lot better.”

Meanwhile, the winless Pioneers, who ad-vanced to the playoffs last season for the first time since 1996, have been swept six times this season in seven matches. Despite both teams playing a shaky first set and Norwalk leading the entire way, the Pioneers stayed close and rallied from a 7-1 deficit to trail 14-12. But when Norwalk junior outside hitter Brenae Brown spiked her third kill of the set, it was the beginning of five straight points for Norwalk. Both teams were giving each other easy points as there were a combined 17 kills. When the match had concluded, Norwalk had 27 kills, 26 aces and got another 20 from Artesia errors.

“If I could explain why it happened, that would be great for me,” said Artesia assistant coach Samantha Bull. “I really don’t know if it was a play that happened. I know that there are some people on the team who are the emo-tional leaders.”

Brown and junior middle blocker Michelle Macias each had four kills for Norwalk in the

first set as did Artesia outside hitter Kim Lee. Artesia again never led in the second set but got as close as 6-5 before the wheels came off. A kill from Norwalk sophomore opposite hit-ter Viviana Gomez gave the serve to senior set-ter Crystall Martinez where she had five aces as part of an eight-point scoring spree. Artesia countered with four straight points, but Gomez added a pair of aces and was aided by a pair of Artesia errors as the Lancers built a 20-9 lead.

Norwalk began the third set with seven straight points and was never challenged. Se-nior libero Andrea Zepeda had three of those seven points in the form of aces and finished the set with four straight aces. For the match, she had 11 aces. Artesia only had two kills in the set and 20 for the match, led by Lee who had half a dozen.

“Towards the end of the second game, for a few points, I felt we started to [get it togeth-er],” Bull said. “And then in that third game, it was shut down.

“Our setters are fairly new to setting and one of them is new to volleyball,” Bull added. “Trying to explain how to fix it in the middle of the [match] is rough. In the first game, our passing was so good. I’ve never seen them so poorly on serve receive versus a team that was trying to serve us off the court.”

Artesia visited John Glenn on Sept. 29 and will host Mayfair on Thursday. Macias and Gomez had seven and six kills respectively to pace Norwalk, which hosted Cerritos on Sept. 29 and will welcome La Mirada on Tuesday before ending the first loop of league play on Thursday at Bellflower.

“I told them we know the pressure that it takes [to reach the playoffs],” Nguyen said. “There are a lot of people going for that third and fourth spot. We’re up for the challenge.”

CERRITOS HIGH SCHOOL SEEKING JUNIOR VARSITY SOCCER COACH
