COMMUNITYNEWS Cerritos Council Balances 2008-09 Budget With Mid-Year Changes by Jerry Bernstein

The Cerritos City Council/ Redevelopment Agency conducted a mid-year bud-

get review and ways to balance the city’s budget for the remain-der of the fiscal year ending June 30. Meeting in special session on Feb. 25. City Manager Art Gal-lucci also sought direction for the 2009-10 budget.

He said the three main streams of city revenue are the Auto Mall, The Los Cerritos Center and the Towne Center. This includes one cent for every dollar spent, plus increment [rent] money, noting the City owns the land on which the three are situated.

Gallucci said with the nation-al economy experiencing a 2.7 reduction in retail sales in De-cember and a 25 percent decline in auto sales from a year ago, Cerritos is not immune to the trends. In addition, homes lost to foreclosure are expected to rise another 18 percent in 2009, Cerritos is also facing a possible shift of $2.4 million from the city’s tax increment revenue to the state’s Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund [ERAF] which would be due in May if current litigation fails.

He said the largest revenue sources for Cerritos are sales tax and interest income, comprising approximately 40 percent of the City’s operating budget. Both have been impacted by the eco-nomic situation. The city antici-pates an overall 15 percent drop in sales tax revenue, reflecting a 5.5 percent reduction in general retail sales and a 25 percent in automotive sales. “We are look-ing at approximately a $4 million drop in our sales tax this fiscal year. At the same time we are looking at $1.5 million decline in interest income.

He said the city normally receives a large amount of money from vehicle license fees [VLF]. “We are anticipating a

Artesia 50th Anniversary Jubilee Celebratedby Jerry Bernstein

Artesia’s Albert O. Little Community Center was turned into a brilliantly

decorated room where former Mayors and Councilmembers, dignitaries and Artesia residents gathered together to celebrate the city’s 50th Anniversary.

Part of a year-long celebra-tion, the festivities included a silent auction, a catered din-ner, followed by remembrances by former members of the City Council and residents. Master of Ceremonies Councilman John Martins welcomed the audience and said, “ Most of you know me. I’m the member on the coun-cil that doesn’t say much.”

Assemblyman Alan Lowen-thal, opened his comments by saying it was great to be back in Cerritos. He quickly apologized and said Artesia. “I’ll never live this down,” he added.

Supervisor Don Knabe fol-lowed and with tongue-in-cheek said it was great to be in Redon-

do Beach. One former council-man said Artesia was a great little city and it was too bad Cerritos grabbed half of it. The comment received a round of friendly ap-plause.

Keynote Speaker former May-or John Lyon, introduced former

councilmembers and guests who took the guests back in Artesia’s history spanning the period from the 1950’s to the 1990’s.

Summing up the evening was a message from the 50th Anni-versary Jubilee Committee in the program given to each guest. It

said:This evening we recognize

City Clerk Josie Triggs said the totals were unofficial and would not be finalized until the provisional votes were counted. However, with only an esti-mated 300 provisional votes to be counted, the consensus of

those present were they likely would be divided between the candidates and not effect the outcome.

The Cerritos Regional Chamber of Commerce held the 2009 Miss Cerritos Scholarship Contest on February 24th at the Cerritos Center for the Performing Arts. The Miss Cerritos Contest is not a pageant; it is a professional opportunity for young women. The Cerritos Cham-ber was seeking professional, outgoing, responsible, articulate young women to represent the Chamber as an Ambassador for one year. The contestants were judged on their poise, attitude, social skills, and professionalisms at their individual interviews as well as their speeches and general communication skills during the Miss Cerritos Contest itself.

Vying for the title of Miss Cerritos

were ten talented and enthusiastic contes-tants. Adorliz Woodhouse, a long time Cerritos resident and employed with the City’s Parks and Recreation Department, was honored with the title of Miss Cerri-tos Princess. She will receive her Associ-ate’s Degree from Cerritos College this May, and then plans to pursue a degree in Psychology at a nearby Cal State Uni-versity in the fall. Nicole Zambolla was crowned the new 2009 Miss Cerritos. Ms. Zambolla graduated from UC Davis with a B.A. in Fashion Design. She is currently enrolled at Cerritos College and plans on pursuing a career in medicine; specifical-ly, she would like to receive her doctorate degree in Osteopathic Medicine.

Cerritos Council to Discuss Reorganization of City Commissions at Mar. 26 Meetingby Jerry Bernstein

The Cerritos City Council will review the city’s commissions and committees at its Mar. 26 meeting to determine if all of them are needed and/or if some of them can be merged. Councilman Joseph Cho said it was not uncommon for some of the commissions/and or committees to cancel their meetings because they had nothing to discuss. Cho specially mentioned the Fine Arts Commission and the Economic Commission.He said some of the commissions have a to narrow scope. He cited the Property and Preservation Commission, which he said considers matters related to mainte-nance and appearance of property. It also determines requests to remove parkway trees and oversees the City Wide Pride program. The Councilman said changes needed to be made in order to open better com-munication between city government and Cerritos residents. He recommended consolidating the Prop-erty Preservation and Economic Com-missions to be known as the Community Development Commission and consist-ing of five council appointees. He also recommended Public Arts considerations be handled by the Planning Commission with the Friends of the Arts Committee handling October Art programs. He said he felt a commission or commit-tee was needed to better communicate with the city’s senior citizens and to better meet their needs. He suggested it consists of 10 council appointees. Cho

COMMUNITY NEWSsaid seniors account for 23 percent of the city’s population and is growing. He also recommended committee meetings be opened to Cerritos residents similar to the way Towne Meetings are conducted with residents invited to the meetings for their input. “I feel communications between the city and its residents is very impor-tant,” he said.Mayor Pro tem Bruce Barrows moved to place the matter on the Mar. 26 agenda. He agreed with Councilman’s Cho’s concerns although not necessarily with ev-erything recommended. Councilmember Laura Lee seconded the motion.Pipeline FranchisesThe Council also voted to hold two public hearings at the Mar. 26 meeting on the franchise transfer of an underground pipeline running the length of Norwalk Boulevard between 166th Street and Del Amo Boulevard and a secnd pipline running along the northerly portion of Studebaker Road.The first pipeline was previously owned and operated by Shell Oil Company (Delaware). Cardinal Pipeline purchased the pipeline and has continued to operate it under the terms and conditions of the existing pipeline franchise. City Manage-ment Analyst Doug Kellam said Cardinal Pipeline[Grantee] has no plans to activate the line. Under the proposed new franchises agree-ment Grantee will be required to keep on file a $125,000 performance bond. Should the line be returned to operation, the performance bond would increase to $250,000.The second public hearing was a request by Crimson California Pipeline for a franchise to operate an existing 10-inch underground pipeline for the purpose of transporting oil, petroleum, and liquid hydrocarbon products along a northerly portion of Studebaker Road.The pipeline was previously owned by Union Pipeline and was purchased by

Crimson who has operated the line under the current franchise. Because the line is currently inactive, the company is required to keep on file a #$125,000 per-formance bond that would be increased to $250,000 upon its activation. In addi-tion the company shall also maintain at least $5 million in liability insurance. If approved by the council, the franchise agreement would be for a period of 25 years.Councilmember Carol Chen asked if 25 years was the normal timeline for such a franchise. “That’s a long period of time. I would think perhaps it would be five or 10 year,” she said.Kellam said the 25 years was normal, but it could be adjusted during that timeline.Mayor Pro Tem Bruce Barrows voiced concern about the safety factors govern-

The Rotary Club of Cerritos-Artesia held its annual high school singing contest at the Cerritos Library on

February 23rd. This contest has been held annually for the last 15 years and is open to high school students in the local area. The top 3 winners go on to the Rotary District 5320 finals, which will be held at UC Irvine in late March.

This years top 3 winners were Tif-fany Tastreaum of Whitney High School and Heather Coates and Emily Dyer of Valley Christian High School. Parents, teachers, friends, and other community members attended the luncheon event. Gerri D’Amasi was the music contest

judge. Gerri is an accomplished musi-cian and donates his time each year to the event. Felix Lopez, scheduled Rotary president in 2010-11, was the music contest chair. Judging by the talent at the event, the Cerritos-Artesia area has some gifted singers. We would not be surprised to see some on American Idol someday.

The Rotary Club is dedicated to promoting local events and programs in the Artesia, Cerritos, and Hawaiian Garden area. For more information on the Rotary, contact Dr. Steve Sherman at 562 926-1097.

Young Artists GetShowing at Local Venues Range of students selected to have works put on display at Los Cer-ritos and Lakewood Center, and Stonewood Center in Downey.

A total of 38 students were an-nounced today as winners of the 2009 Los Angeles County Student Art Competition, representing an impressive collection of artwork by students from elementary, middle and high school levels.

The winning students, selected by judging committees from among hundreds of entries received from throughout the county, were chosen for their creativity, craftsmanship and use of media. In addi-tion to winning gift certificates and other prizes, the young artists will have their

pieces placed on public display at local venues.

Twenty of the winning entries will be put on permanent display in the hallways and offices of the Los Angeles County Office of Education (LACOE) in Downey. The other 18 winners will be featured as part of a display with other entries at three local shopping malls — Los Cerritos Center, Lakewood Center and Stonewood Center — from March 7 - 22. (See attached list of winners.)

LACOE will hold a recognition cer-emony for its display artists at 3:00 p.m. March 3 during a meeting of the Los Angeles County Board of Education. The three centers will hold separate recep-tions for their display artists from 3:00 to 5:00 p.m. on March 8.

“The individual creativeness and impressive level of technical skills displayed by these student artists are a reminder of how important quality arts education programs are for our children,” said Geraldine Walkup, the visual and performing arts program administra-tor for LACOE, which presented the program in partnership with the shopping malls and other sponsors.

The competition, open to students of all grade levels from public and private schools, is among the largest student art contests of its kind in the state.

Local Church Celebrates Special Day for Sick and Caregiversby Edna Ethington

Health Ministry members of St. Irenaeus Church in Cypress celebrated Valentine’s Day this year by inviting the Sick and their Caregivers to come to a special Mass at noon on February 14 to celebrate the World Day of the Sick and Blessing of their Caregivers. Approximately 150 people responded to the invitation and came to be anointed or blessed.The service began with beautiful piano music played by Pianist Darin Glaudini, who also served as Cantor for the Mass. Fr. Pat Rudolph, Pastor of St. Irenaeus Church welcomed everyone to the Val-entine’s Day Mass in honor of the World Day of the Sick. Lector Betty Borowski then did the Bible reading from Paul’s letter to James (James 5:13-16 ) which told people of the early Church to have the elders of the Church pray for the sick and anoint them so that they would be healed and their sins forgiven. Fr. Pat Rudolph then read a Gospel read-ing and explained how the Anointing of the Sick followed the custom of the early Church of laying on of hands and anoint-

ing with oils. He thanked everyone for coming to this special Valentine’s Day Mass. At the end of his homily, Fr. Pat sang an original Hymn of Thanksgiving for all God’s gifts. St. Irenaeus’ Pastor Pat Rudolph and Pa-rochial Vicars Fr. Venancio Amidar and Fr. Matthew Munoz laid their hands on the heads of all who were in attendance calling upon God to strengthen each

person with the Gifts of the Holy Spirit. Hands were imposed in the Bible in the Old Testament by Jacob as a blessing (Genesis 48:14), and in New Testament by Jesus (Mark 10:16) and Paul (2 Timo-thy 1:6-7) to remind Timothy of the gifts he received from the Spirit.

The three priests then walked between the church pews to reach those who were seated in the pews. They anointed each person who came to be healed in mind, body and/or spirit. Though physical heal-ing may not have been evidenced imme-diately, some people later commented that they felt the grace of mental or spiritual healing after they were anointed.The priests later brought Communion

to each person as they remained in their pews.At the conclusion of the Mass, Fr. Pat invited the Caregivers in attendance to come up in front of the altar to receive a blessing of their hands with oil.

Rep. Linda Sánchez Welcomes New Chief of Sta�

“It’s a lot like Christmas for us to receive the donations,” explained co-chair Melanie Broad, “Only better, be-cause we know the prizes will be used to raise money for local charities such as Su Casa and the Family Guidance Center as well as scholarships for local women gong back to school so they can better support their families.”

“We couldn’t do it without the support of local businesses who are really invested in the community,” added co-chair Gayle

Reidy. “Businesses like RejuvaYou Medi-cal Spa, Tall Mouse Arts and Crafts, and Peet’s Coffee and Tea have been especial-ly generous this year. And of course, the local salons always come through. Salons like Pure Elegance, Shear Image, Regis, Centerstage and Vogue Nails understand that we work with local women and chil-dren who really need our help.”

“So after more than six months of plan-ning, it all comes down to one night, Soropti-mist President Tammy Cannon stated. “We need lots of people to come out and enjoy the food and fun with the knowledge that all the money raised goes to a good cause.”

sharp reduction in VLF. The reason for that is people are not buying new cars. “The older a vehicle becomes the lower its VLF tax,” he stated. As a result, the city’s VLF will be about $1 million less than originally projected in this current year.

To meet the revenue reductions, ap-proved recommendations moving about $4 million from the Water Fund into the General Fund. Gallucci said this would let the water system assume its portion of the City’s prepayment for other post-em-ployment benefits. He also recommended $1.5 million be taken from the General Fund Reserve to fund capital projects for the current fiscal year. He said Council ap-proval of the two transfers would leave a balanced budget.

For fiscal year 2009-10, he asked for authorization to review the City’s festivals and events to determine if sponsorship should continue and to determine “de-sired” funding levels. He also suggested the City’s contributions to charitable groups be reduced by 10 percent with the exception of contributions funded for the Low-and-Moderate-Income Housing Fund that includes the Rio Hondo Temporary Home and Su Casa Transitional Housing/Outreach.

Overall the year-end City revenue pro-jection of $85.3 million reflects a revenue decline of $9.3 million, or an estimated 9.8 percent from the original budget fore-cast of $94.6 million.

Gallucci said the City has applied for federal funds for some 29 projects in the new federal budget. This includes $300,000 for the sheriff station remodel, which will pay for new technology for its 911 Center, and $380,000 that would be used for photovoltaic Energy System at the proposed Cuesta Villas Senior Hous-ing project. Both were kept in the House version of the budget, which is now being debated by the Senate.

Positive SideHe said on the positive side of the

coin, increment income continues to grow. He said they were projecting an increase of $35 million in new increment money, which he defined as property taxes from new buildings located on city land. He said when Nordstrom completes its new store it will also have new increment. In addition a flagship Forever 21 department store will be opening, replacing Mervyns. “These projects, along with other prop-erties under development will provide substantial revenue in the form of sales tax and tax increments in upcoming years.

He said 20 percent of the money goes into the City’s set-aside account, which continues to grow. He said there is now approximately $15 million in cash in the account. Unfortunately this is a restricted account and can only be spent for housing. He also said proposed budget cuts does not apply to the City recreational pro-grams, service organizations or to any of the City’s aid-to groups/organizations.

He recommended travels to meet-ings be suspended for the rest of 2008-9, Open positions not be filled, and only one conference a year be attended by the city’s different commissions and/or commit-tees. He said he has already eliminated all travel for staff, combined with other department operations resulting in an overall savings of $7 million. He also pro-posed the reduction of one deputy at the mall and the closure of the sheriff station. Center management has offered to provide office space, plus they have a perspective tenant who would like to rent the space now occupied by the station.

Other cuts include $8,000 in the May-oral Transition, which is scheduled for Mar. 12, and scaling back on City Wide Pride. He said there are no cuts planned for the library.

He said no decision has to be made on recommendations for 2009-10. The Council has until June when a budget study will be made prior to passage of a new budget. He said the city would have a negative next year due to a continued

reduction in sales tax and increment rev-enue that is projected to last into 2010. At the same time the city’s increment revenue will continue to grow.

Gallucci said there would be a recom-mendation to hold back on the insurance payment for one year on the Insurance Trust Fund for Retirement to PERS that would help balance next years budget. Turning to the Rose Bowl Parade Float the Council will make a decision on whether it will continue or withdraw from the parade at its next regular meeting on Mar. 26.

Concerning the Cerritos Center for the Performing Arts, plans call for a reduc-tion in the schedule of events from 152 to 105 shows, and through ticket pricing adjustments to an average market price of $51.36 it is estimated that the CCPA could realize a savings of $1.1 million. Many tickets are subsidized by the City. How-ever, in order to maintain 152 shows, a new approach will be used whereby third parties will be used to book the balance of shows that should reduce additional costs.

Mayor Pro Tem Barrows asked if the shows are reduced by one-third, it felt it would hurt not only the hotel, but the restaurants and retail outlets that the patrons utilize which translates into sale tax revenue.

Gallucci said this has been discussed, and Dr. Springer is looking into getting what is known as traveling shows such as the recent Aida Opera which was sold out.

Crimson also would be required to maintain around the clock emergency equipment and crews within a 25-mile distance for the purpose of shutting off pressure and flow of contents in the event of any emergency.In other business the Council approved a joint powers agreement [JPA] with the Los Angels Regional Interoperable Communi-cations System [La-RICS] for the pur-posed of developing and implementing a modern integrated wireless voice and data communications system that will support the communication needs of the more than 34,000 first responders and local mission-critical personnel within the Los Angeles County region and Orange County.Community Services Supervisor Emely Merina said currently, local and regional police and fire departments do not have the capabilities for interagency communi-cations. She said a major concern is in an event of a significant disaster or calamity, when interagency communication is most needed, the current systems will not allow for sufficient coordination between the various law enforcement and fire depart-ments that operate in the County.

Fantastic Café and Marathon Restau-rant Group, thirty-year veterans of family-style dining, launches its newest concept in fast, friendly and fresh…Steam City Grill…home of the 69C Steamy Hot Dog and 99C Fresh Cut French Fries.

Steam City Grill offers fresh hot dogs and burgers Montreal style – “all dressed” (with mustard, on-ions, relish, and Cole slaw) and made to or-der while you watch. Pair these with some fresh-cut French Fries that we know will be your new favorite meal!

If hot dogs and burgers aren’t for you, try a Montreal style Steam City hot sub with Gravy-Cheese Fries. This 12” sub is over-flowing with thinly sliced, flash-grilled prime-cut rib eye steak, mortadella and pepperoni that’s topped with moz-zarella cheese, grilled mushrooms, onions, peppers, and then topped again with shredded lettuce, sliced tomatoes and our sig-nature secret sauce. Pair this masterpiece with our version of a Montreal creation – Gravy Cheese Fries and it’s a meal for two that will have you planning a trip to Montreal to see the birthplace of this flavor sensation!

“Our goal is to bring a bit of Montreal, the Paris of North America, to Southern California,” says John Charissakis, VP of Operations.

If you’re still searching for your

perfect tasty meal, try a Greek style Souvlaki Plate of tender, juicy marinated, grilled chicken or port skewers served with Greek salad, fresh cut French Fries, Tsatziki sauce (garlic, herbed yogurt dip) and pita wedges – a mouth-watering, healthy meal only the Greek Gods could

have created!“We want to provide the community

with a truly tasty, fast and fresh menu that offers a new look at old favorites,” said George Patsilivas, VP of Quality Control.

Not just really, tasty fresh food, but a sensory experience-walk in the door and smell the scent of vegetables sautéing, be greeted by our friendly team and see the steam billowing up from the counter as you walk down the line and watch your

new favorite meal being prepared to order.“The Los Angeles area has been our

home for decades and we feel very com-mitted to the people and businesses here – they have been very good to us over the years and we strive to price our menu to fit every budget while excepting nothing

but the best qual-ity from our meat and produce sup-pliers,” said Efthe-mios Tsiboukas, Vice President.

“Yiassou! Wel-come! Bienvenue! Come, bring your family and friends and enjoy!” says Spyro Kommatas, Vice President.

Local residents seem delighted about the gravy cheese fries. One blogger from Bellflower, An-nie G, wrote, “Look-ing for great POU-TINE (gravy cheese fries) and Montreal style steamed hot-dogs…this is defi-nitely the place to do!! The menu varies

from your typical fast food burger and fries to a number of Greek inspired meals. Their

chicken souvlaki plate that comes with a Greek salad and fries is very tasty. They make a delicious tsatziki sauce!

Randy Economy says on his Cerritos Blogspot, “Steam City Grill has the best Greek food this side of Athens. I kid you not. I am the grandson of a Greek immi-grant. My late father was one the greatest Greek Chefs in Southern California. I know good Greek food, and this place is AMAZING!”

Steam City Grill Comes to Cerritos – “All Dressed”

Efthemios Tsiboukas, Spyro Kommatas, Johnny Charissakis, and George Patsili-vas, seen here inside the Steam City Grill, are partners in the Fantastic Cafe and Marathon Restaurant Group.

Gahr Proves Many Wrong, Upsets Another Highly Ranked Team, Advances To Division III-A FinalsBy Loren Kopff Bring on the Wolverines from Harvard/

Westlake! After upsetting top ranked Dia-mond Ranch on the road in the California Interscholastic Federation-Southern Sec-tion Division III-A quarterfinals, the Gahr boys basketball team went to work against fourth ranked Golden Valley last Friday night at Cerritos College.

The Gladiators outlasted the Grizzlies 94-87 to earn a berth in the divisional fi-nals for the first time since the 1998-1999 season. But for head coach Bob Becker, this will be his third time playing for a CIF championship. In 1994, he guided his Pacifica Mariners boys team to a Division III-A title over San Dimas. Two seasons prior to that, he won a Division III-A CIF

championship with the Rancho Alamitos girls team. Ironically, that same season, the Gahr girls team took home the top prize in Division II-AA. Gahr will play for its first boys championship at 9 a.m. on Saturday at the Honda Center.

"Everyone looks at Gahr this year and says they lost 14 games and they're not very good," Becker said. "They don't un-derstand that Gahr went out and scheduled a powerhouse schedule. We lost to good teams and the kids never let down. The kids who lost this year for Gahr are the kids who didn't come out and try. We have five kids in our school who are better than kids I play. But they didn't try because they felt we weren't going to be very good this year. And now, this team is being rewarded for sticking it out, struggling through some of those losses, building from them and get-ting better."

Gahr, the eighth ranked team in the di-vision, led 23-15 in the opening seconds of the second quarter after junior Cameron Bell accounted for half of his points in the game with a three-pointer. But Golden Val-ley erupted for 11 straight points to hold its largest lead of the night. The scouting report on the Foothill League champions, who had lost just three times in 29 games prior to the semifinals, indicated they like to shoot the outside shots pretty well. But it was Gahr (18-14) which was counterattack-ing with its own display of outside shots. Sophomore Javonte Sales took a pass from senior Devin Golston and nailed a trifecta to end the Grizzlies scoring streak. Later in the second quarter, sophomore Davon Potts got into the action with a three-pointer to give Gahr a 38-29 advantage. In all, Gahr sank nine out of 14 shots from downtown.

"We've known all year that we can shoot the three pretty well," Becker said. "But nobody has left us open like they did, so we had to take it. They actually were a pressing team that decided not to press against us. I really don't why. But, they didn't and that's okay. I think it helped us to a certain extent that they did not press."

The Gladiators took a 44-33 lead into the locker room on 56 percent shooting from the field with senior Gipson Lyles scoring 16 points and sophomore Jarion Henry coming off the bench to add eight points. The shooting would only get better in the second half, from the field and at the free throw line. Gahr missed only two of 10 field goals in the third quarter as its lead grew to as many as 15 points twice. Then in the final stanza, the Gladiators were seven of 11 from the field and when Henry followed his own miss to put back a bas-ket, plus a subsequent free throw with 4:54 remaining, his team had its largest lead of the night at 77-56. Gahr was also 16 of 21 from the line in the fourth quarter. Lyles scored a career-high 33 points while Potts poured in a career-high 24 points, includ-ing going nine of 10 from the charity stripe in the fourth quarter. Steven Thornton led the Grizzlies with 41 points while Maver-ick Ahanmisi added 17 points for the Santa

Clarita-based team which is in its fifth year of existence.

"Our kids learned from every loss and they never got down after them," Becker said. "They're very coachable. It's what kids need to see today; that losing is not bad. It's not a bad thing to lose as long as you learn from it and our kids learned from it."

For Gahr to even get to the finals is a story in itself. The team was bounced out of the playoffs in the second round last season and the first round two seasons ago while playing in the much more competitive Di-vision I-AA. In the 2005-2006 campaign, Becker's first season as Gahr's head coach, he took the Gladiators to the Division III-AA quarterfinals with a team that had five sophomores-Aaron Hicks, Cameron Net-tles, Karl Roby, Casper Ware and Chester Woolen-to complement the five other key seniors and one junior also on the team. But a 24-4 regular season record was wasted with a first round loss to St. John Bosco in the 2006-2007 campaign and last season, the Gladiators were ousted by Compton in the second round. Now, Becker has yet an-other crop of sophomores to go along with Golston, who has been averaging close to 23 points a game and Lyles, who has aver-aged 18 points a game in the playoffs.

"It's two different groups, two different times and two different divisions," Becker said when asked if this makes up for not making it farther the past two seasons. "It's hard to say that. I just know I think Casper Ware is probably one of my all time greatest. He's one of my best players; one of my favorite kids to ever be around and he didn't make it [to the finals]. I felt bad for him. But these kids went on their own mission."

Cerritos Edges Warren For School's First Girls Water Polo Championship, Fourth

Overall For Program

by Loren Kopff IRVINE-Anything the boys can do, the

girls can do better, or at least in this case, duplicate. A little more than three months after the Cerritos boys water polo team won its third straight California Interscho-lastic Federation-Southern Section divi-sional championship, the girls team won their first ever.

With nine seconds remaining in the second overtime session, senior Raquel Gabayeron lobbed a pass over goalkeeper Kristyn Casas for the game winner and a 10-9 victory over fellow San Gabriel Val-ley League rival Warren for the Division VII crown last Saturday morning at the William Woollett Jr. Aquatic Center. The victory for the top seeded and top ranked Lady Dons caps off a 22-10 season, the most victories in school history.

"It's the beginning of something spe-cial," said Cerritos head coach Peter Kemp. "It started with the boys a couple of years ago and the girls have been hungry. Watch-ing the boys win titles, the girls have been CIF runner-ups in swimming three out of the last four years."

Cerritos had a chance to win the game in regulation but Ivana Castro was true on a penalty shot with 1.37 seconds remaining. In fact, the Lady Dons trailed the Bears 7-5 following a Castro goal with 5:34 remain-ing in regulation. But for the second time this season against the division's second ranked team and league runner-ups, Cer-ritos rallied for the win. With a man-ad-vantage, senior Jessie Ku scored with 5:09 left to bring Cerritos to within a goal. Then at the 3:50 mark, Ku assisted Gabayeron to tie the contest. Just over a minute later, Gabayeron scored what she thought would be the game winner and senior Ann Vu had a chance to ice the game with seven ticks left but her shot sailed over the net.

"It's remarkable; this is what you hope for," Kemp said. "You hope for a game as exciting as this. As nice as it is to win by a big margin, everybody wants to see a close game. We were expecting a close game and that's exactly what we got. It's unfortunate that only one team can walk away with the plaque because both teams are very deserv-ing of it."

The game got off to a slow start with the Lady Dons leading only 1-0 after the first period on a Gabayeron penalty shot. Both teams combined for 17 shots but the scoring would heat up in the second period. Gabayeron added two more goals includ-ing another penalty shot but the Bears tal-lied four times and led 4-3 at the half. In the third period, junior Alodie Gaerlan tied the contest at the 5:06 mark on an assist from Gabayeron but Warren responded on a pair of man-advantage goals. No one scored in the first overtime session and Cerritos took only two shots in the three-minute af-fair. But 44 seconds into the other overtime session, Gaerlan gave her team a 9-8 lead. However, it lasted only four seconds as Brittany Vasquez tied the game, the sixth time the game had been knotted. After that, the Lady Dons fired off two more shots be-fore the game winner. Gabayeron scored a game-high seven goals and assisted on two others while Ku and sophomore Katherine Gabayeron each had a pair of assists.

"Raquel is just an absolute stud," Kemp said. "She's been the leader of this team in and out of the water all season long. She gets everyone hyped up before all of the games and she's absolutely grown up this year offensively speaking. I wasn't expect-ing her to be as much of a factor as she has been offensively."

Cerritos first fielded a girls water polo team in the 2001-2002 season and three seasons later, went to the playoffs for the first time. That was the beginning of three straight second place finishes in the SGVL before finishing in first last season. But in the playoffs, Cerritos had one only once

"It shows a ton of heart," Kemp said. "We've got some talented girls but we've had some talented girls in the past as well. But I think it just came down to heart this year. They wanted it from the last game of last year. Talent only gets you so far.

"I absolutely think this could the begin-ning of some great things," he added. "It's great for the program because it gets peo-ple enthused. It's especially great for our younger girls. The seniors-they're done and I'm very proud of them. But for the young-er girls, it's something to look forward to. It helps build the momentum for the next year."

Valley Christian's Offense Stymied In Semifinal Loss To Division V-AA Top Ranked Team

by Loren Kopff

A couple of things were going in favor

for the Valley Christian girls basketball team last Saturday night when it hosted St. Joseph of Santa Maria in a California Interscholastic Federation-Southern Sec-tion Division V-AA semifinal game. The Lady Crusaders, historically, have been no strangers to playing, or having a shot to play for a CIF title, with 10 CIF titles and eight losses in the finals under their belt since 1982.

Valley has also been to the divisional semifinals three times this decade but the team also has first-year head coach Katie Hardeman, who played two years each at a pair of the best high schools in Southern California for girls basketball, Brea Olinda and Troy. Even with so much champion-ship mojo in the air, the Lady Crusaders picked a bad night to have a poor shooting performance, bowing to the Knights 39-19 in a game played at Gahr. The Lady Cru-saders end their season at 18-12.

"Our shots were not falling," Hardeman said. "They're a good team. There is no shame in losing to them. We just felt like under out best circumstances, we couldn't beat them. We didn't play our best game."

Valley, the fourth ranked team in the division, scored the first point of the game less than a minute in on a free throw from sophomore Jelissa Holder, then went scoreless until freshman Kari Korver sank a three-pointer with 1:40 left in the stanza.

Despite the early shooting problems, Valley was down 8-4 to the Knights. But the poor shooting continued in the second quarter with junior Taylor Cotton scoring the only three points for the maroon and gold.

The only thing that was keeping the Lady Crusaders in the game at halftime was the fact that St. Joseph was hitting on 26 percent of its shots from the field in the first half. But any chance for the Lady Cru-saders to get back in the game were dashed

in the first four minutes of the second half when they were outscored 8-0 to trail by 19 points. Korver led the Lady Crusaders with 10 points while Cotton and senior An-drea Campbell combined for eight more points. Cotton also grabbed 13 rebounds with Campbell getting another five boards. Even with the loss, Valley held its opponent to under 40 points for the fourth straight game and 12th time this season.

"We said we were going to stop them defensively and I thought Andrea Camp-bell did an amazing job shutting down [Heather Madrigal]," Hardeman said. "She had one basket. I told them even when we were down by how ever much, it's our goal to keep them under 40 points. They were able to meet those defensive goals, but we were unable to execute [on our shots].

"I was telling the girls before the game that during Christmas time, we played a tournament game here at Gahr and we sat on that bench and we lost to a terrible team," Hardeman added. "We lost to a team that was not talented and we were better than them. It was embarrassing, an awful feeling and a low point in our season. So we have become a totally different team. They have improved leaps and bounds."

After winning 13 games last season and losing in the first round of the playoffs, Valley got off to a solid start to this sea-son, winning seven of its first 10 games. After a rough stretch from Dec. 26-Jan. 30, the team bounced back and won six of its last eight games. Campbell and Ariel San-chez are the only two seniors and Harde-man is already thinking about the positives for next season, especially with the sharp shooting Korver, who averaged over 14 points a game, and the aggressive Cotton, who was dominating on the glass along with the other seven other returning play-ers.

"It will be a different team without our center," Hardeman said. "We'll have to do a totally different offense without her. But we still have girls who are such fight-ers and are talented, so that's encouraging. That's why I'm not depressed right now. I hope to be back in this spot next year, be-ing able to win this game."

Haagsma, Valley Christian Fight Back To Reach Division V Finals Again

by Loren Kopff

Naturally, Kim Looney would like to

take her Valley Christian girls soccer teams to the California Interscholastic Federa-tion-Southern Section Division V finals every year. But for now, the eighth-year head coach knows she can pretty much set her clocks every two years and she'll reach the promise land.

First in 2005, then in 2007 and now this Saturday. The Lady Crusaders withstood a very early goal and rallied twice in a span of three minutes late in the second half to edge El Segundo 2-1 this past Tuesday af-ternoon at Crusader Field. As a result, the Lady Crusaders will face South Torrance at 9 a.m. at Warren High in Downey, seek-ing their first outright championship. The

other two times ended in ties with Oaks Christian.

"If ever there was a comeback in the history of Division V, it was today," Loo-ney said. "I told my kids [at the half] they weren't done playing. They had 40 minutes left to play and they had to be first to every ball and they had to play to get back in. El Segundo had us in the first half. They had everything; every ball and every shot."

Two minutes into the contest, El Se-gundo's Allison Reaser followed up on a misplayed ball near the right post and tapped in the lone goal for the Eagles. For the rest of the 38 minutes of the first half, El Segundo controlled the tempo, taking eight shots on goal while the best chance for the Lady Crusaders, the seventh ranked team in the division, got its best chance in the 14th minute when freshman midfielder Kylee Crossen's attempt was tapped away by Sammy Laplante at the right post.

"I told the defense they had to mark tighter," Looney said. "[Reaser] was faster than all of our defense put together. [Se-nior defender] Stephanie Williams needed to drop on her a little bit more and give her a little bit more room. They had to play team defense to take care of her, and they did."

But rallying in the second half this season has become all too familiar for the Lady Crusaders and the second half was theirs to own. It began in the 51st minute when junior midfielder Haley Haagsma took a header from a corner kick and bare-ly missed the upper left corner of the net. Then in the 60th minute, junior forward Jacqueline Lara missed a chance when the ball briefly got away from the El Segundo netminder.

Finally, Haagsma got the host team on the board in the 68th minute when she took junior midfielder Leezett Del Toro's corner kick and notched her team-leading 15th goal. Then three minutes later, she weaved her way through the penalty box and scored the game winner. Of the 11 goals scored by Valley in its four playoff games, Haagsma has five of them.

"Haley was getting beat on our set

plays," Looney said. "[Jenna Rich] had her number. [She] beat her most of the first half and I think Haley took it within herself to take care of that."

Valley improved to 19-7-2 overall, has won 18 of its past 20 games and since the beginning of February, the team has yield-ed just two goals. The Lady Crusaders, co-champions of the Olympic League, have knocked off the division's second ranked team (Notre Dame Academy) and the third ranked team (El Segundo). Now, they will face the fourth ranked team who comes in with a 23-3-4 record and knocked off defending division champs Oaks Christian in the semifinals. South Torrance is also making its third trip to the finals, having lost and tied the other two times.

"We weren't supposed to win the last two games and we did," Looney said. "I guess it's more emotional because we came from one behind. They put the ball in the back of the net 2:18 in. Who does that in the playoffs? To come back from that hit me hard. When you run a set play for three weeks and you finally decide to play it because the regular corner kicks aren't working, and it goes in, the feeling is incredible."
