Mirada Unified School District.High schools included in the
competition were La Mirada, John Glen, Norwalk, Gahr, Whitney, Cerritos, and Artesia.
Vighnesh Iyer, a junior at Whitney High School in Cerritos, took first place with his piece titled, “Hopeful Eyes.”
Iyer’s piece was inspired by his work with the non-profit organization Students Travel and Exposure South Africa (STAESA).
Last summer, Iyer traveled to Ghana to help build an orphanage in the small village of Aflao. The children portrayed in the picture are still awaiting the completion of the orphanage. Iyer plans to return to
Papers valued at over $1,000 which makes the crime a felony.
By Randy Economy
Members of the Cerritos Sheriff’s Department are investigating the theft
of 1,200 community newspapers from outside the office of Hews Media Group, a.k.a. the La Mirada Lamp-lighter, early Friday May 4.
According to Brian Hews, Publish-er of both the Los Cerritos Community Newspaper and La Mirada Lamp-lighter, over 1,200 printed newspapers of Friday’s edition of the Lamplighter were stolen from the front of the
1,200 Lamplighter Newspapers Stolen From Outside Office
Lamplighter office located at the corner of Artesia Boulevard and Shoemaker Avenue in Cerritos.
Brian Hews, publisher of the Lamp-lighter, said that their home-delivery person, Eddie Garcia, leaves the papers at the office at around 4 am in the morning with other business delivery drivers taking those papers between 7 am and 9 am.
“Our Sports Editor Loren Kopff took the Cerritos papers at 7:30 am, and said the Lamplighter papers were in front of the office when he left.
Maria Gonzalez, Lamplighter Marketing Consultant, arrived at the office at 8:30 am and saw that the Lamplighter papers were gone, so they were obviously taken between 7:40 and 8:30”, said Hews.
Hews went on to say, “$1,000 papers are worth over $1,000, so this is a big deal.
And I am especially angry because this denies our La Mirada readers who get the paper at their business, and who have local residents come in to their
City Council Reviews $60,000 Outreach Service Program
Program will send five mailers to La Mirada and is expected to be approved by City Council.
By Tony Aiello
A group the city hired this past De-cember, to provide “communications outreach services” has recommended the city execute an informational mailer program to update the commu-nity about the city’s financial situation and obtain feedback about services.
City Manager Tom Robinson main-tained the mailer will “not be advo-cacy, but just the facts.”
The program will consist of at least five informational mailers not to exceed $60,000 in total cost.
City officials are considering a one-half of 1 percent sales tax increase to be placed on the November ballot.
The city council is expected to ap-prove the cost of the mailing program.
In other matters, the city is claim-ing it will save $238,000 per year by approving a three-year extension to its
current 10-year agreement that went into effect on July 1, 2009 with EDCO Disposal for refuse services in La Mirada
For street sweeping services, the city has contracted with R.F. Dickson Co. for the past 48 years-currently un-der the terms of a five-year agreement set to expire next month on June 24th.
EDCO has proposed to find a new company for street sweeping, and pay for it, in exchange for the three-year extension of its original deal slated to end in 2019. Now their agreement will be extended to 2022.
The new street sweeping company would be approved by the city and would be bound by current specifica-tions and level of services.
City of La Mirada Public Works Director Steve Forster said it is expect-ed that Dickson would be one of the applicants when EDCO searches for a new street sweeping provider.
The City of La Mirada, even in these tough economic times, allocates

WHEN ONE HAS TRUE FAITH, ONE WILL NOT GO WRONGBy Jerry [email protected]
“Is it true, you had 1,000 La Mirada newspapers stolen from in front of your office, asked VAL LYNDER,
DEFENDER OF ALL THAT IS TRUE, as she rushed into the office.
“It’s true. The newspapers were deliv-ered early in the morning by the printer and sometime between his drop and 9 a.m. the newspapers were taken.”
“Did you call the police department? Who would steal the newspapers? She
asked in the same breath”“VAL LYNDER relaxes.” I could see
she was becoming upset. Her purple um-brella with the white poker dots taping insistently by her side. “The sheriff was called, and yes we suspect who did it?”
“What a dastardly thing to do?” she said in a calmer voice.
“We’ve contacted the authorities and they are taking it from here-on, I said.
“Good.” VAL LYNDER paused, “I just don’t know how someone could stoop so low.” I could see she was more relaxed, so I changed the subject. “Have you seen our Friend from Fruitcake, Florida? I asked.
“No I haven’t,” she answered. “What does he think about the newspaper theft?”
“I don’t think he knows, but I suspect when he hears about it he’ll be dropping in.”
“Well, while I’m here. I have a few questions you might be able to answer for me.”
“Shoot,” I said. “I didn’t mean that lit-erally.” I quickly added.
“I know what you meant, “ she replied a little testily.” Explain to me what is going on in Norwalk? According to my friends in Norwalk, some members on the city coun-cil, and the chamber executive officer met with the publisher of the Downey Patriot to bring that publication into the city so it could print the city legals?”
“That’s correct,” I replied.“So what’s the problem?”“The problem is the newspaper has to
be adjudicated in the city in order to print that city’s legals.” Before she could ask, I continued. “ It’s quite simple. Under the law a newspaper has to be in general cir-culation within the city for more than one year, have a paying circulation of at least 2,000 plus have an office in the city. It also has had to be covering city news for more than three years.”
Really?” she said. “I didn’t know that.”
“It’s true and its interesting that on Nov. 4, 2011, a memo from City Manager Mike Egan to then Mayor Mike Mendez and cur-rent Mayor Cheri Kelley and the rest of the city council stated the city did not have an adjudicated newspaper of general circula-tion in the city.”
VAL LYNDER, DEFENDER OF ALL THAT IS TRUE, took advantage of my pause and asked what the luncheon meet-ing held at the Outback Restaurant in De-cember was all about?”
“You know more than your letting on,” I said. She didn’t say anything. I decided not to press her on what she knew. “Well, “ I began, “On Dec. 9, Executive Director Vivian Hansen sent an e-mail to Mayor Kelley, Councilman Mike Mendez, Cham-ber President Joe Derthick, Chamber Board
Member and Outback Manager Rob Caza-res reminding them of their noon meeting with the publisher of the “new” Norwalk newspaper, Jennifer DeKay Givens.”
VAL LYNDER, DEFENDER OF ALL THAT IS TRUE, asked. “Didn’t Hansen send an e-mail to the City Manager on March 8 that she sold the Norwalk Cham-ber Masthead to Ms. Givens for use as newspaper’s name.
“True,” I answered.“And didn’t she state the newspaper

followed by Ms. Givens filing a notice in Los Angeles Superior Court to publish le-gal notices for the city under Government Code Section 6000.”
“Doesn’t Section 6000 require a new newspaper to have been publishing in the city for one year and have a paying cir-culation of 2000? She asked, “Doesn’t it also have to have an office in the city and at least a minimum of 25 per cent of local stores in its newspaper for more than three years?”
“You’re correct,” I said.“Sounds to me like there some collu-
sion going on,” she asserted. “Looks that way,” I answered.VAL LYNDER gave me a look and
said, “Something is not kosher.”

Letter to the Editor
Response to Linda Sanchez
During her interview by Community News staff as reported in the May 8th issue of this paper, Representative Sanchez was asked the “hard hitting” question what she thought of House Republicans. In response, she criticized Republicans as “Do Nothing Representatives”. Let me return the favor by criticizing Democrats as “Do the Wrong Thing Representatives”. The Democrats controlled congress and the presidency for the first two years after the 2008 elec-tion and what did the Democrats do? They passed on a totally partisan vote a health care bill that most Americans opposed. Remember the silly comment by Nancy Pelosi that “we have to pass it to find out what’s in it”? Well we found what’s in it and even more Americans expressed their disapproval.
Sanchez claims the tea party candi-dates were elected to “fix things” when in fact they were elected to repeal Obamac-are and stop a runaway government which
was bent on even more spending in an era of increasing deficits. She says they made things worse. By whose definition? What other bad things would have happened if the Democrats had retained control of the House? Use your imagination. Obama con-vened a committee to recommend how to address the looming debt crisis which in-cluded Social Security and Medicare, and he ignored their recommendations. The only party to address the hard issues was the Republican Party which was blistered by the Democrats for being insensitive to the needs of the poor.
The Democrats haven’t passed a bud-get in three years because of Harry Reed’s failure to even consider the numerous bills passed by the House. Once again, the Democrats have demonstrated their cow-ardice in the face of the mounting fiscal crisis. They would rather demagogue than actually try to solve problems. Sanchez says she wants to increase the number of jobs in this country but doesn’t really ad-dress the contributing reasons for the poor job market, uncertainty over Obamacare and excessive government bureaucracy, especially in our State. Obama’s adminis-tration could immediately increase oil pro-duction on government lands and approve
the Keystone pipeline (increase jobs) but this would alienate the green extremists on the left.
Whenever I think of Representative Sanchez I can’t forget the comment she made when speaking to our group sev-eral years ago. According to her, increases in spending are really cuts. For example, you want ten dollars and I give you seven. That’s a three dollar cut. She concludes her interview by saying how proud she is of three bills she has introduced. The third would mandate minimum wage, includ-ing overtime, for homecare workers, even family members. How would this be moni-tored? Unlike Paul Ryan who displayed courage in his proposal to slow the growth of government spending, Sanchez displays little boldness in her proposals. Where are her recommendations to save Social Se-curity and Medicare? Ryan was crucified by the Democrats for his budget proposals which cut nothing from social programs. Remember granny over the cliff? In fact, he proposed a three percent increase in spending. According to
Democrats, Ryan’s “cuts” were draco-nian.

An elementary school in Hawaiian Gardens was placed on lock down May 2 as members of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Special Weapons Team conduct-ed a search for a possible armed suspect involved in a domestic violence incident.
The incident took place at the 12000 block of Brittain Street in Hawaiian Gar-dens when Lakewood Sheriff’s Station personnel searched for the suspect who was possibly armed.
After landing on the athletic field of Hawaiian Elementary School, 12350 East
226th Street, Sheriff’s Air Rescue-5, with paramedics on board, staged on the field. The school was placed on lock-down.
Students inside Hawaiian Elementary School were in the middle of taking a state mandated test, according to officials at the ABC Unified School District.
No students at Hawaiian Elementary School were ever in “harms way” school officials told Los Cerritos Community Newspaper.
“At approximately 10:a.m., after a search of the suspect’s home, it was de-termined the suspect was not inside,” said Lakewood Sheriff’s Deputy Guillermina Saldaña.
If members of the community have any additional questions or information regard-ing the circumstances that led up to the search please contact Lakewood Station watch commander at (562) 623-3500.

If you haven’t had the opportunity to attend a Benefit or Social gathering at the estate of the late Andy Anderson, you have
missed out on something extraordinary. On May 4
the Friends of the Artesia Library held a Garden Party Library Benefit at the es-tate located on 178th Street in Artesia. As
you enter the ground two lion statues greet you, partially hidden by the foliage on both sides of the driveway that leads you to the festivities.
Several hundred Friends of the Arte-
sia Library and their guests attended the fundraiser, rising approximately $ 10,000. It was a festive affair with a buffet that featured cuisine from Artesia and Cerritos restaurants, festivities that included wine tasting, a silent auction, entertainment and a raffle. In addition there was a book sale and a cupcake bake sale.
Chairpersons were Michele Diaz, Sally Flowers, and Karen Speers.
Singing the national anthem are the “Out of Sight” trio - lead singer Eli Del Rio, Otis Albert, and Robert Smith.
In charge of selling donated books were Tracy Winkler and Marian Rusting. Giving them moral support is Bill Morey.
Enjoying the Cuisine served at the Artesia Garden Party held May 4 are Lydia Chu and Sylvia Murakami.
Artesia City Manager Maria Dadian is all similes.
Comparing notes about the Benefit are former (l-r) Cerritos Mayor Paul Bowlen. Rosemary Econ-omy, and Hawaiian Gardens Mayor Mike Gomez.

PHIL HAWKINS IS ENDORSED BY
1 Phil Hawkins is the first to ask all other water agencies to freeze water rates to the level of Central Basin Water District rates.
2 Phil Hawkins has shown leadership for 12 years at the Central Basin Water District. He was appointed by Supervisor Don Knabe to the Assessment Appeals Board. He was also appointed to the State Trade and Commerce Board. He is also on the Colorado River Water Authority Board.
3 Under Phil Hawkins leadership, the Central Basin Water District was awarded a $3 million grant from the Department of Energy for an emergency water supply and efficiency study. This is currently out to bid and will be completed soon.
4 Phil Hawkins has reduced spending at the Central Basin Water District to an all-time low.
5 Phil Hawkins, as Finance Chairman, has balanced the budget at the Central Basin Water District for the last 10 years. He has increased the bond rating from A to AAA, which means we, as taxpayers, pay the lowest interest rate possible.
6 Phil Hawkins has reduced the number of employees from 187 to 47 and kept the same level of service for the Central Basin Water District.
7 Phil Hawkins helped create the current education program that many elementary grade and middle schools participate in at this time. We have an aquarium truck that goes from school to school to show kids the different types of water wildlife. The kids can even touch each one of the wild life.
8 Phil Hawkins was there to oversee the development of the Central Basin Recycle Water System that is now one of the largest recycle water system in Southern California.
9 Phil Hawkins has worked with the Metropolitan Water District to raise money for more conservation programs in the Central Basin Water District. He worked with schools and cities to create all native drought resistant plant environments that require little water.

PIH is the first hospital in Southern Californwia to receive this national award for hospital case management
The Joint Commission and the American Case Management Associa-tion (ACMA) has presented Presbyte-rian Intercommunity Hospital’s (PIH)
Care Management team with the 2012 Franklin Award of Distinction at the ACMA National Conference in Denver, Colo. PIH is the first hospital in South-ern California to receive the award and one of only three West Coast recipients since the first Franklin award was pre-sented in 2003.
"The PIH team-based care model – which includes proactive daily rounds with the patient care team – distinc-tively characterized their case man-agement service," says L. Greg Cun-ningham, MHA, CEO, ACMA. "The hospital's investment in social medicine with post-hospital discharge clinics and dedicated staff in the homeless shelter are evidence of the organization's com-munity commitment and the recogni-tion of patients' and case management's needs."
PIH Care Management program’s team-based approach to case manage-ment provides for common policies and procedures, electronic case manage-ment tools, and a collaborative practice approach that includes nurses, social
Presbyterian Intercommunity Hospital 2012 Franklin Award of Distinction Winner
workers, physicians, patients, caregiv-ers and the community.
“Our approach to Care Management has been successful due to the partner-ships we’ve built across the different disciplines that make up our team,” said Jill Schuyler, Director of Care Management. “Pinpointing areas where we could respond proactively has also been beneficial. Having a registered nurse practitioner position at the Whit-tier Area First Day Coalition homeless shelter has significantly reduced home-less patients’ unnecessary admissions.”
Named for Benjamin Franklin, the co-founder of the first organized hospi-tal in the United States, the award repre-sents the type of leadership and forward thinking that distinguish the hospitals or health systems recognized as Franklin Award recipients.
"It is an honor to receive recognition as a national leader for our care manage-ment program," said PIH President and CEO Jim West. "Receiving this award of distinction is a testament to the dedi-cation of our care management team's focus on patient advocacy and the or-ganization's commitment to delivering quality healthcare to our community."
A panel of national experts, includ-ing nurses, social workers and other healthcare professionals identified by ACMA and The Joint Commission, carefully reviewed the nominations and selected PIH. Evaluations were based on the organization’s commitment to a collaborative philosophy and an inter-disciplinary process for case manage-ment.
“This award is a reflection of the in-novation and dedication that our team consistently uses to achieve the best possible outcomes for our patients,” said PIH Chief Nursing Officer Reanna Thompson, RN, BSN, MSN. “We part-ner with our community to solve prob-lems outside the hospital walls and en-sure access to care that is both highly effective and lower cost.”

The recent run of the multiple Tony Award winning play Miss Saigon, at the La Mirada Theatre for the Per-forming Arts was the highest grossing production ever at the theatre said Pro-ducing Artistic Director, Brian Kite.
“Of the possible 26,271 seats available for the entire run, we sold over 22,000 of them, with numerous sell-outs, including the last two performances,” said Kite who directed the La Mirada rendi-tion of Saigon, which bowed out this past Sunday after 26 days.
He indicated the only other produc-tion from the past that might come close in gross sales would be “the first time Peter Pan was here.”
Although it left Broadway in January of 2001, after a ten year run and 4,092 performances, Saigon has spawned numerous other productions across the globe and is still the 11th longest-running Broadway musical in musical theatre history.
Bolstered by rave reviews early in the La Mirada run, Kite told the La Mirada Blog the surge in ticket sales sent the staff scrambling, “We had to order 11,000 extra programs. Also, we had to hire additional help at the box office, because the phone was simply ringing off the hook.”
Kite estimates that 10-15,000 “new people” visited La Mirada during the play’s run, most non-residents.
The temporary visitors boost the local economy.
“They spend their money at La Mirada gas stations, convenience stores and other establishments in La Mirada. Mr. V’s and other restaurants in town have told us they have seen an increase in business this last month,” Kite said.
The attendance at Saigon also seems to have spurred sales for the upcoming, lat-est installment of Peter Pan, return-ing again to the La Mirada Theatre June 1st through June 24th, with Cathy Rigby once again revisiting her flying role as Peter.
The theatre was converted from a local movie house to a performing arts center in 1979 with the opening act being Tony Bennett.

Yes they could have been taken for recycling”, Hews said, “but why would they leave over 1,000 of the Cerritos newspaper behind? It is very suspi-cious”.
Hews said that he has filed a report with the LA County Sheriffs and they will follow up with the case. “The investigating officer thought it very suspicious too that other papers were left behind. “She asked if I thought I had any suspects in mind, and I did give them a couple names”, Hews said. He also noted that the the recycle value of the 1200 copies would only be around $3.

Venom Takes LMGSA Championship
The La Mirada Girls Softball Associ-ation 8U held their Championship game this past Saturday pitting regular season champion and top seeded “Explosion” against third-seeded “Venom”.
Team Explosion had already beaten Venom twice during the regular season so Venom came into the game hoping for some redemption. The game fea-tured two of the top 8U pitchers, Ven-om’s Jaelyn Pantages and Explosion’s Abby Landrum and the two pitchers did not disappoint the fans.
Venom struck first in the top of the first inning scoring two quick runs. Pantages led off the game with a single then stole second and third base. Ven-om shortstop Grace Archuleta then hit a single that scored Pantages. Third base-man Salem Flores followed with a hit that scored Archuleta, giving Venom an early 2-0 advantage. Landrum settled down after a rocky start and silenced the Venom bats, not allowing a hit after the first inning.
Pantages breezed through the first inning, not allowing a hit and striking out three batters but she ran into trouble in the second inning.
Landrum scorched a double and lat-er scored on a sharply hit single by Ma-rissa Nedrow before Pantages settled down and got out of the
inning with Venom clinging to a 2-1 lead.
Explosion’s Kara Sands and Flores both pitched well in relief of Landrum and Pantages, not allowing any runs while they were on the mound.
Explosion mounted a furious rally in the last inning, loading the bases with nobody out. Pantages relieved Flores on the mound and struck out three bat-ters in a row giving Venom the win and the 8U crown.

When La Mirada softball head coach Richard Trujillo scouted Cerritos for the first time this sea-
son on Apr. 27 against Norwalk, he hinted that he could have a secret weapon when his Matadores played Cerritos. Trujillo stuck to his word as La Mirada paid a visit to Cer-ritos this past Tuesday with the Suburban League championship at stake.
That secret weapon was freshman pitcher Valerie Alvarado and she was just as hot as the weather was on this early May Southern California day. Alvarado pitched eight and two-thirds innings and struck out 16 of the 34 batters she faced as the Matadores snuck past Cerritos 3-1 in 11 innings. After watch-ing Cerritos and Mayfair share the league title last season, the Matadores reclaimed what had been theirs outright from 2001-2008. La Mirada, the eighth ranked team in the California Interscholastic Federation-Southern Section Division II poll, improved to 20-7 overall and 11-0 in the league.
Trujillo replaced senior Ambar Hickman with Alvarado with one out in the bottom of third following a walk to sophomore des-ignated player Lilianna Herrera. Alvarado would strike out two of the three batters she faced in the frame as well as two in each of the next three innings. She fanned three in the seventh and eighth innings and never al-lowed a Cerritos runner to reach third base during her time in the circle.
“Whether you see her or not, she’s effec-tive,” Trujillo said. “And that makes Ambar that much more effective. We still haven’t counted [senior] Jenevie Rivas out but when they’re not touching Val, why change?”
Cerritos head coach Bob Medina coun-tered with his freshman sensation, Jennifer Iseri, whom Trujillo did not see in the afore-mentioned Cerritos-Norwalk game. Iseri struggled in the top of the first, walking senior left fielder Mylee Macahilig to lead off the game. Following a strikeout, Iseri threw 10 straight balls to load the bases and eventually surrendered a run scoring hit to junior shortstop Mercedes Gasparovic. Af-ter that, Iseri settled down a bit and retired nine straight and did not allow anyone to get beyond second until the seventh.
Cerritos, ranked one spot ahead of La Mirada in the division, also had its chances to score early as Hickman walked senior center fielder Sarah Smith in the first and yielded an infield hit to Herrera. But Hick-man regrouped and sat down the next six before giving up a double to Smith in the third. Then, Iseri drove in Smith with a base hit to tie the game and after the walk to Her-rera, it was the Alvarado show.
The recent junior varsity call-up baffled the hot-hitting Lady Dons and forced them to chase at pitches outside the strike zone. Alvarado reached a three-ball count three times before extra innings, but only walked freshman catcher Heather Cameron of those three-ball counts during that time. Cerritos (18-5, 9-2) had a chance to get to Alvarado immediately after replacing Hickman as ju-nior first baseman Miki Okazaki was safe on an infield hit to load the bases. But Alva-rado ended that threat by recording her first strikeout.
“We didn’t execute,” Medina said. “We should have executed. We probably had plenty of opportunities. It was a matter of time. If you don’t execute after four oppor-tunities, then what do you do? The odds of you winning are less and less.”
In the top of the seventh, the Matado-res loaded the bases following consecutive singles from sophomore pinch hitter Steph-anie Baro and Hickman. But Iseri induced Macahilig to fly out to freshman left fielder Madison Lee.
Cerritos had two more chances to score the game-winner, the first coming in the eighth when Lee led off with a single and two outs later, advanced on a base hit from senior right fielder Alex Avila. The other came in the 10th when Okazaki reached on a fielder’s choice and junior shortstop Erin Clinton was safe on an error. But Avila flew out to center to continue the game. Alvarado scattered five hits, walked two and threw
130 pitches.“I think she did a great job,” Medina
said. “We told our girls to stay off the high pitch. She had 62 high pitches and 42 in-side pitches. With the kids being young, we need a little more experience I believe. The girls were swinging at the high stuff and we shouldn’t have.”
La Mirada finally got to Iseri in the 11th when Gasparovic bunted up the first base line and senior first baseman Rochelle Sa-blay singled to left. After junior third base-man Lindsey Cole sacrificed both of them, Rice sent a deep fly to the right field foul territory that was caught, allowing Gasp-arovic to come home. Two pitches later, Sablay scored the insurance run. Iseri went the distance, striking out seven and throw-ing 167 pitches. Medina said that he had no intentions of making a pitching change at any time.
“Jen was going to go the whole game,” Medina said. “Even in the first inning, I said, ‘you’re not coming out’. If we went 28 innings, she was going to go 28 innings. We were going to win or lose with her. The thing is, she’s the one they’re going to battle against next year and she’ll know it.”
“Nothing we saw surprised us and noth-ing that we’re going to see is surprising to us because we’ve played the best,” Trujillo said. “We’re ready. A win like this is big and a loss for Cerritos like this is big for them because that’s going to give them some-thing to carry into the playoffs.”
Sablay went three for four while Gasp-arovic went two for five. The top four in La Mirada’s lineup went a combined one for 17. Meanwhile, the only one who could get to Alvarado was Smith, the Baylor Univer-sity signee, who had two of her three hits off the reliever. Five other players accounted for the other five hits from Cerritos and ev-ery batter struck out at least once.
“Sarah is good; there’s no doubt about it,” Trujillo said. “But top to bottom we had better hitters. We deserved to be in first place. We deserved this Suburban League championship and from the looks of it, we’re not going to be any weaker next year either.”
This was the longest Suburban League game for Cerritos in at least 15 years and the longest since May 21, 2003 when the Lady Dons lost to Downey 8-3 in 11 innings in a wild card playoff game. Before that, Cerritos had played in an 11-inning game at Chaminade and a 13-inning affair against Corona, both in 2000. In 1999, Cerritos and Corona went 16 innings in the Inland Empire. All three of those long extra inning games before 2003 were shutout wins by

Cerritos.With Alvarado and Iseri showing they
could go long distances, the next six league meetings between these two teams should prove to be among the best games of the Southern Section, as well as the league. Although the Matadores lose eight seniors, they simply reload every year. Cerritos, which has seven freshmen this season, will lose four to graduation.
“With two freshmen out there [today], this is going to be a hell of a battle for the next three years,” Trujillo said. “But [Cer-ritos] hung in there. They had some chances and we squandered a few but I think just the maturity…the seniors have been here be-fore. I think we took advantage of the mis-cues on Cerritos’ part.”
“I think that’s awesome,” Medina said of the future of the two freshmen pitchers. “I really do because I wish every team [in league] gets a quality pitcher like Alvarado. They’re going to be hard to beat. We’re a good hitting team. We’re a good, solid team. We just didn’t stay off the high stuff. We weren’t disciplined at the plate like we wanted.”

Ruben Velasquez was hoping the end of this season wasn’t going to be like the past two seasons. The head
coach of Norwalk’s baseball team once again saw his team needing a victory over Artesia in the final week of the regular sea-son and some help in order to move on to the California Interscholastic Federation-Southern Section Division II playoffs.
The Lancers did their past last Friday afternoon, edging host Artesia 3-2, then later found out that John Glenn had lost to Bellflower, thus clinching a postseason berth for the third season in a row. Norwalk entered the final week of the regular season at 12-12 overall and 6-4 in the Suburban League. It was in a three-way tie for sec-ond place with Bellflower and La Mirada while Glenn, which wrapped up its league season last week, ended at 5-7.
“It was boiling down to that again,” Ve-lasquez said. “That ugly picture was com-ing up [again]. The last couple of years we almost missed the playoffs. Two dropped fly balls, a pop-up and a fly ball to right field a couple of years ago. This is not a fun
place to visit for me personally.”Norwalk had split its season series with
Artesia the past two seasons and six of the last eight. The last time the Lancers swept the Pioneers was back in 2000. But the visitors got a stellar pitching performance from senior Anthony Gonzalez, who scat-tered five hits, gave up one earned run and struck out five for his second straight win and second complete game of the season.
“First and foremost, Anthony Gonza-lez did a great job,” Velasquez said. “He pretty much threw the team on his back. He wasn’t going to let anything affect him. He was determined to finish this game and win this game.”
Artesia got to Gonzalez early as the hurler walked senior right fielder Gary Smith in the bottom of the first with two outs and yielded a run scoring hit to junior catcher Tommy Corrales. But the Lancers tied the game in the next inning after lead-ing the bases loaded in the first. Sopho-more center fielder Trino Romero reached on a fielder’s choice and Gonzalez singled. Both runners would advance on an error before Romero tied the game on a single from freshman left fielder Jacob Carr.
Norwalk took the lead for good in the fourth when Carr singled with two outs, stole second and scored on an error. In the next inning, senior first baseman Jose San-
doval led off with a base hit, stole a pair of bases and came home on a base hit from senior catcher German Vasquez. However, the Lancers left the bases loaded again and stranded 11 for the game. Artesia’s other run came in its half of the fifth when ju-nior left fielder Jeremy Gaskin, who had reached on a fielder’s choice, scored on Smith’s hit to center.
Last season, the Lancers needed Artesia to lose twice to Mayfair on the last week of the regular season to make the playoffs. In 2010, as Norwalk was having its bye on the final week of the regular season, it had to watch Artesia lose to Mayfair twice in order to clinch fourth place and knock the Pioneers out of the playoffs.
“It’s hard to explain but I tip my cap to coach Mike [Gaoghagan],” Velasquez said. “No matter how bad they are struggling or where they’re at, they come out to play ev-ery time. He does a fantastic job over here and they’re determined to win a game.”
Artesia (5-18, 1-9) received a complete game performance from senior Cesar Soto, who lost his second straight 3-2 decision after going the distance both times. The Pioneers, who faced Bellflower this past week, will miss the playoffs for the fifth straight season. Carr and senior third base-man Miguel Castaneda each went two for four for the Lancers, who lost to league
GONZALEZ HELPS SEND NORWALK INTO PLAYOFFS, LANCERS FINALLY SOLVE ARTESIA HEXchampion Mayfair this past Tuesday 12-2. Those two teams concluded the regular season on May 10 at Norwalk. The Lancers will most likely enter the playoffs as the fourth place representatives from the league but following a season-opening sweep over La Mirada, splits with Cerritos and Glenn later in the season hampered their chances of a much better league finish.
“I felt our schedule was favorable that way,” Velasquez said. “We were hoping if we could at least split with La Mirada, let alone sweep them, we were going to be in good shape. It’s been baffling since that week to me and my coaching staff. We haven’t had that intensity, that fire to win since that first week.”

Cerritos Crime SummaryApril 30 - May 6, 2012
There were 33 Part I felony investigations conducted by members of the Cerritos Sheriff’s Station last week, down by two cases from the previous week. Commercial burglaries and vehicle thefts were up, but robberies, residen-tial burglaries, and vehicle burglaries dropped. Field personnel responded to 274 calls for ser-vice, up from 269 the week before. The 2012 weekly average in calls for service is 263.
There were no robberies reported last week. Residential burglaries decreased from five to four last week. Two of the homes were entered via unlocked doors/windows, a sliding glass door was shattered, and a window was pried. Handbags, a TV, a coin collection, cam-eras, and laptops were taken. The 2012 weekly average in residential burglaries is now 4.2.
Remember, the hot weather is coming and residents are known to leave doors and win-dows open for ventilation. Unfortunately, resi-dential burglars know this too.
Seven commercial burglaries were re-ported compared to two the previous reporting
period. All were closed businesses. Four oc-curred in the same building in the 18000 block of Studebaker Road. Checks, clothes, comput-ers, and tools were stolen. The 2012 weekly average in “other structure”/commercial bur-glaries is 1.3.
Vehicle burglaries were down from 19 to 14 last week. High-volume commercial park-ing lots were the crime scenes in 12 cases. 10 involved SUVs. Purses, ID, credit cards, MP3 players, headphones, wallets, sunglasses, rings, and a passport were among the items reported as stolen. The 2012 weekly average in vehicle burglaries is 7.6.
Keep your windows rolled up, doors locked, and all valuable items out of the pas-senger compartment. If they must be stored in the vehicle, keep them in the trunk. If you do not have a trunk, remember that 10 of the 14 vehicle burglaries last week were SUVs that do not have trunks. Trust us, there is a connection!
Vehicle thefts were up from two to four last week. Three occurred in high-volume commercial parking lots. A Honda, an SUV, a Nissan, and an Acura were stolen. The 2012 weekly average in vehicle thefts is now 4.1.

LCCN Reporter Places Third in Seal Beach Run
By Randy Economy
Rico Dizon, a reporter of Los Cerritos Community Newspaper has placed third in the Seal Beach 10K Run
held in April. Dizon competed in the 65-69 age group
and averaged 9:48:05 minutes per mile. He completed the distance in 1:00:58 chips time.
The Seal Beach 10K Run, an annual project of the city of Seal Beach which starts at Marina Drive and First St. and continues along the scenic Ocean Blvd. to Seal Beach Blvd., Westminster Blvd., San Gabriel River Bed and back to Ocean Blvd. at the pier, usually draws a large number of participants each year. This year, the 38th run to date, has duplicated the 5,500 cap limit achieved in 2011. Run Seal Beach is
a non-profit organization whose charter is to raise funds and awareness for recreation and fitness programs and other services to benefit the greater Seal Beach community including Rosmoor and Los Alamitos.
Last year, the race event made possible the awarding of a record total of $126,000 to some 48 organizations with wide range of community program needs. The non-profit charter has been in existence since 1999 although the organization has spon-sored runs for the past 38 years. The race has continued to grow in attendance and
contributions each year. We are very much committed to making this annual event one of high quality and source of pride for the City as well as our loyal race spon-sors, said the spokesperson of the Run Seal Beach race committee. The event is planned, managed and implemented purely by volunteers with no salaries drawn from any administration and so the 100 per cent available proceeds are given back in the form of grants primarily to the benefiting organizations and/or communities each year, the spokesperson added.

Papers valued at over $1,000 which makes the crime a felony.

Members of the Cerritos Sheriff’s Department are investigating the theft
of 1,200 community newspapers from outside the office of Hews Media Group, a.k.a. the La Mirada Lamp-lighter, early Friday May 4.
According to Brian Hews, Publish-er of both the Los Cerritos Community Newspaper and La Mirada Lamp-lighter, over 1,200 printed newspapers of Friday’s edition of the Lamplighter were stolen from the front of the
1,200 Lamplighter Newspapers Stolen From Outside Office
Lamplighter office located at the corner of Artesia Boulevard and Shoemaker Avenue in Cerritos.
Brian Hews, publisher of the Lamp-lighter, said that their home-delivery person, Eddie Garcia, leaves the papers at the office at around 4 am in the morning with other business delivery drivers taking those papers between 7 am and 9 am.
“Our Sports Editor Loren Kopff took the Cerritos papers at 7:30 am, and said the Lamplighter papers were in front of the office when he left.
Maria Gonzalez, Lamplighter Marketing Consultant, arrived at the office at 8:30 am and saw that the Lamplighter papers were gone, so they were obviously taken between 7:40 and 8:30”, said Hews.
Hews went on to say, “$1,000 papers are worth over $1,000, so this is a big deal.
And I am especially angry because this denies our La Mirada readers who get the paper at their business, and who have local residents come in to their
City Council Reviews $60,000 Outreach Service Program
Program will send five mailers to La Mirada and is expected to be approved by City Council.
By Tony Aiello
A group the city hired this past De-cember, to provide “communications outreach services” has recommended the city execute an informational mailer program to update the commu-nity about the city’s financial situation and obtain feedback about services.
City Manager Tom Robinson main-tained the mailer will “not be advo-cacy, but just the facts.”
The program will consist of at least five informational mailers not to exceed $60,000 in total cost.
City officials are considering a one-half of 1 percent sales tax increase to be placed on the November ballot.
The city council is expected to ap-prove the cost of the mailing program.
In other matters, the city is claim-ing it will save $238,000 per year by approving a three-year extension to its
current 10-year agreement that went into effect on July 1, 2009 with EDCO Disposal for refuse services in La Mirada
For street sweeping services, the city has contracted with R.F. Dickson Co. for the past 48 years-currently un-der the terms of a five-year agreement set to expire next month on June 24th.
EDCO has proposed to find a new company for street sweeping, and pay for it, in exchange for the three-year extension of its original deal slated to end in 2019. Now their agreement will be extended to 2022.
The new street sweeping company would be approved by the city and would be bound by current specifica-tions and level of services.
City of La Mirada Public Works Director Steve Forster said it is expect-ed that Dickson would be one of the applicants when EDCO searches for a new street sweeping provider.
The City of La Mirada, even in these tough economic times, allocates
