A six month investigation by Los Cerritos Community News-paper (LCCN) into the official activities of Los Angeles City

Controller Wen-dy Greuel has shown that, in possible vio-lation of the Los Angeles

Governmental Ethics Commis-

s i o n Ordinance, she has spent an overwhelm-ing majority of her official schedule for the past three years attending lavish dinners, lunch-es, breakfasts, and social events in an effort to advance her 2013 mayoral campaign.

LCCN released more than 640 pages of Greuel’s “official city appointment cal-endar” on Mon-day that was o b t a i n e d through the Freedom of I n f o r m a -tion Act. Those FOIA requests went u n a n swe r e d for more than five months by Greuel and her office.

“We received tips from in-side her office that Gruel was campaigning on county time, so LCCN requested copies of her 2009-2012 daily calendar,” Hews said. “LCCN was able to conquer a bureaucratic maze created by the Controller’s Office that in-cluded being told more than 15

times that our request was being “gathered” by personnel in her office.”

“The process to obtain the records was ex-

tremely arduous and involved.

As a pub-lic official, whose cal-endar is open to the public,

I expected this process

to be simple, and for city staff

to be helpful rather than adversarial toward releas-ing information about a public employee, especially to a com-munity newspaper,” Hews said. “This treatment certainly raised some red flags.”

Sheriff Reserve Commander Hangs Up Shield After 38 YearsBy Randy Economy

Local residents have been adieu to one of the most recog-nizable faces in law enforcement after Reserve Commander Pat-rick J. Cleary hung up his badge as a member of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department after nearly four decades of em-ployment and service.

On Saturday, January 5, at 11:00pm, Cleary served his last shift at the Norwalk Sheriff’s Station.

He reflected on his storied career in an interview with Los Cerritos Community Newspaper and the La Mirada Lamplighter on his last “day on the job” for the last time he donned is work-ing uniform.

“I love this community, it is part of me,” Cleary said.

Fujimura, and his friend Ray Lovell are seen here holding his new “huge sturgeon” that was caught at Irvine Lake. For the record, the fish was recorded at 58 lb 6 oz and was hooked on a 3 lb. test line which set a new lake record and could actually establish a new international Game Fish Association World Record for line class under 4 pounds. Fujimura, who caught the sturgeon released it back into the lake after lake officials took their measurements and pictures.

The Cerritos Sculpture Garden has made a tremendous impact on City of Carson Mayor Jim Dear, so much so that

he would ultimately like to make it pos-sible for his City to turn his vision of a the “Carson International Sculpture Garden” into reality.

In his speech during the unveiling of the eight foot statue of the Filipino hero Dr. Jose P. Rizal, (the first sculpture ever erected in the newly-opened Carson Inter-national Sculpture Garden last year), May-or Dear said, “for a city that is relatively new, with unlimited opportunities and rich in culture, I found something lacking-- and that is public arts.”

Dear went on to tell his story that be-gun from his unannounced visit to the City of Cerritos Public Library that led him to the Sculpture Garden within walking dis-tance.

He said he was awed and thrilled by the beauty of the place that exhibited four beautiful sculptures including five other

conspicuous works of art around the Civic Center.

From that moment on, he said, he was inspired to do something similar for the City of Carson.

“And today is the culmination of my vision,” he smilingly contin-ued his speech, citing the first in-ternational statue that is to be un-veiled on the oc-casion as the start and manifestation of a well-thought concept of an I n t e r n a t i o n a l Sculpture Gar-den which he said

is the brainchild of Mayor Pro Tem Elito Santarina.

“I also believe in the words of Jesus, “the beginning of a thousand mile journey is the first step,” Dear quickly added.

Fast forward to a local city council member here in Cerritos who told Los Cerritos Community Newspaper that Mayor Dear in official public gatherings, “always mentions and praises the Cerritos Sculpture Garden.”

Recently, officials in Cerritos hosted a lunch and guided tour of the Sculpture Garden for a group of 40 Carson officials and civic leaders led by Mayor Dear.

The rest is history as the cliché goes, and it appears that the “seeds” planted at the Cerritos Sculpture Gardens appear to have spread like wild flowers to the South Bay area.

March ElectionsThis March election is an opportunity

for residents to begin cleaning-up the city council. Edwards and Chen have been part of city government for far too long. The legacy they both leave is disgusting, to say the least.

A 40-year Cerritos Resident I agree, Carol Chen has got go!!

Carol Chen supported Phil Hawkins, at the Central Basin, after Hawkins voted to raise water rates for the next two years!!

Chen along with Barrows is supporting the muli-Billion dollar Maglev (Orange-line Development Authority, ‘OLDA’). Barrows is linked to Lockheed, an early supporter. Chen (who happens to be in real estate) is reported to own a commercial building near the track at 183rd and Stude-baker.

Every residents need to ask themselves, “Is Carol Chen in it for the residents or for her business and financial gain?”

If Chen is in it for residents why is the Performing Arts center losing Millions ever year and she has done ZERO?

If Chen is in it for the residents why is the Magnolia Power Plant losing million and she has done ZERO?

Why, with the Millions the city is los-ing, is Chen sitting on her rear-end??

Mark Pulido, you claim to be a home-town boy. Speak-up! You are accountable to!! (Barrows and Cho are a lost cause, in my opinion, after all what have they done? Cho in 6-years and Barrows in 14-years?)

Carol Chen I challenge you to explain why you are letting these to ventures lose millions and then allow the city to consider raising fees on our youth programs.

Funny, the shameless city council re-fused to vote on raising fees until after the

March election. Was this a favor to help keep the heat off of Carol Chen? Makes this concerned resident and voter wonder.

Bird WatchingDear Editor:

Being an amateur birdwatcher, I read your article about the bottleneck cranes with great interest. Bottleneck cranes are indeed quite rare.

I may be cuckoo, a bit loon-ey or a total bird-brain, but the magnificent birds in 3 of your photos on p. 9 appear to me to be Great Blue Herons. Their coloring and markings are consistent with Great Blues, and the bird in flight on p. 9 has its neck “scrunched in” -- characteristic of the way Great Blues fly. Cranes fly with neck stretched straight out, like the one on p. 1. That is one of the classic ways to distinguish between them.

The photo on p. 9 of the white bird with the long yellow bill appears to be a Great Egret, which is snowy white with a long yellow bill (longer and thinner than the bill on the Great Blue Heron and cranes).

The bird on page 1 is a great shot of a crane in flight. Its wing markings are completely different than those on p. 9. It appears to be a rare whooping crane, known to winter in Texas. (That shot also looks strikingly like the photo of a whooping crane on Wikipedia.com).

Thank you for reading my note......and may there be more birdwatching in your future!

Cerritos Weekly Crime Summary Dec 31 to Jan 6, 2013

34 Part I felony crimes were reported to the Cerritos Sheriff’s Station last week, up from 28 the previous week. Residen-tial burglaries and vehicle burglaries in-creased, commercial burglaries remained the same while robberies and vehicle thefts declined. Patrol deputies responded to 272 calls for service, which is up from 241 the week before. The 2013 weekly average in this category is 241 as the New Year be-gins.

One robbery was reported. In a Craig-slist laptop transaction on Wednesday January 2 at 3:00 p.m. three male suspects robbed a male victim of cash in the 19700 block of Sheryl Avenue. One of the sus-pects was later identified and arrested.

Residential burglaries were up from five to ten last week. Three of the crime scenes involved open/unlocked doors or windows. Four windows were shattered, two were pried open and one door was kicked in. Jewelry, three handguns and a laptop were taken. The new 2013 weekly average in residential burglaries is 10.

The master bedroom is the number one target in a residential burglary. Thieves know that jewelry, guns, cash, safes and other high-value property will most likely be stored in the master bedroom. Consider placing valuable items in a safe deposit box, or at the very least, in another area of the home such as the garage. If you have several boxes on shelves in your garage and one partially contains valuable items, thieves are very unlikely to locate it. That would take them too much time and that is not what they want to waste. They want to be in and out as quickly as possible and know that the master bedroom will yield the most valuable property for them to pawn.

Two commercial burglaries were in-vestigated last week, the same as the last reporting period. A window was shattered at a closed business but no property was reported missing. A locker at a skating facility was burglarized and a purse and cell phone were stolen. The 2013 weekly average in “other structure”/commercial burglaries is 2.

Vehicle burglaries increased by one case from eleven to twelve. Ten of the crimes occurred in high-volume commer-cial parking lots. Six were SUVs. MP3 players, purses, wallets, sweatpants, credit cards, jackets, ID and a cello were taken.The new 2013 weekly average in vehicle burglaries is 12.

If you leave it, they can take it. Most vehicle burglaries take less than five sec-onds and are initiated after seeing a valu-able item in plain view or watching some-one place a purse or wallet in an unsecure

area of the vehicle. This is known to occur in parks where victims like to exercise, and sometimes in retail parking lots.

Vehicle thefts dropped again from four to three cases last week. All three of the new cases were from high-volume com-mercial parking lots. Two were Hondas and one was a Toyota. The 2012 weekly average in vehicle thefts remained at 3.

Hondas, Toyotas and SUVs are the most commonly stolen vehicles in Cerri-tos. Notice the stolen vehicles last week? If you own one of these, add a layer of security such as a steering wheel locking device.

Cerritos Center for the Performing Arts Celebrates its 20th Anniversary on January 13

CERRITOS, CA -- January 13, 2013 marks the 20th anniversary of the Cerritos Center for the Performing Arts (CCPA). Since the venue’s inaugural performance by the “Chairman of the Board” Frank Si-natra in 1993, the award-winning concert hall has won national honors and recogni-tion and presented more than 3,000 perfor-mances, including such legendary artists as Tony Bennett, Whitney Houston, Liza Minnelli, Mikhail Baryshnikov and Twyla Tharp, Alvin Ailey American Dance The-ater, Bill Cosby, George Burns, Johnny Cash, Kathleen Battle, and The Chief-tains. Nearly 250,000 patrons attended performances at the theater during the past two decades, including HRH Prince Charles who was the guest of honor at a performance of Henry VI by The Royal Shakespeare Company.

“We are thrilled to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the CCPA in January 2013 with a sold-out concert by Neil Sedaka,” notes City of Cerritos Mayor Jim Edwards. “Opening in 1993 as the world’s most in-novative theater, the CCPA has become a world-class performing arts center that is recognized as a landmark cultural destina-tion for the Southern Californian region.”

Among the qualities that make the CCPA one of Southern California’s most prestigious venues is its commitment to quality entertainment, cultural enrich-ment, and customer service. The venue

Los Angeles County Sheriff Lee Baca opened up to a group of Cerritos business and civic leaders on Thursday and touted his departments many successes and talk-ed about the importance of instituting a highly effective “faith based philosophy” within his department.

Baca took a walk down memory lane during his 20 minute address before the Cerritos Regional Chamber of Com-merce’s “Public Safety Luncheon” at the Cerritos Sheraton Hotel and talked glow-ingly about his long time association with the community here.

Baca is a former teacher at Faye Ross Junior High School in Artesia, and also served as Captain of the Norwalk Station in his early years as an adult.

“Cerritos will always be considered home to me, in many, many ways,” Baca said. “We have shared many real life ex-

periences and today I just feel Blessed to be the Sheriff of the largest county law enforcement agency in the United States,” Baca said.

Baca, who jokingly referred to himself as a “part-time Catholic,” stressed the im-portance of bringing “God and Communi-ty and the human condition into the daily operation” of his department.

He also talked about the “massive epi-demic of drug addiction that is destroying our community.”

“Illegal drugs are dominating our com-munity. Public safety is based upon deal-ing with the human condition, and we all have to dedicate our efforts to helping with our community members who are addicted to drugs and alcohol,” Baca said.

Baca cited a statistic that of the 18,000 currently serving time in Los Angeles County jails, more than 7,500 inmates are serving “so type of crime that was caused by drugs.”

Sheriff Baca Touts Successes, Challenges at Cerritos Chamber Lunch

remains one of the only leading concert halls to offer free parking and an in-house ticketing service. It’s no wonder that Per-formance magazine recognized the center as the 1995 “Theater of the Year” and that Amusement Business ranked the CCPA as one of the “Top 10 Venues” (under 5,000 seats) for eight consecutive years.

Mayor Edwards hopes that the next 20 years will allow City residents and patrons throughout Southern California to expe-rience the CCPA again and again. “The Cerritos City Council invites the commu-nity to join in commemorating the 20th anniversary milestone by attending one of the many shows offered at the CCPA this season. From guitarist Paco Peña to Soul and R&B group The Temptations and Tony-winning tap dancer Savion Glover, the CCPA offers something for everyone. As we look ahead and plan for the future, we invite all of our patrons to consider be-coming a CCPA Associate to help ensure that the theater remains a welcoming, ac-cessible, and affordable venue where pa-trons can experience the joy of entertain-ment and cultural enrichment.”

Fun Facts About the CCPA1) The CCPA has presented *3,102

performances during the past 20 years.2) Grammy award-winning singer

I c o n i c California t elev ision j o u r n a l -ist Huell Howser has died at the age of 67.

In a s t a t ement released by KCET Pub-

lic Television, they confirmed the passing of Howser at around 1 p.m. on Monday.

“We are deeply saddened by the news of Huell's passing. This is a tremendous personal and professional loss to his friends and colleagues, as well as his le-gions of fans. Huell elevated the simple joys and undiscovered nuggets of living in our great state. He made the magnificence and power of nature seem accessible by bringing it into our living rooms. Most importantly, he reminded us to find the magic and wonderment in our lives every day. Huell was able to brilliantly capture the wonder in obscurity. From pastrami sandwiches and artwork woven from lint to the exoticism of cactus gardens and the splendor of Yosemite -- he brought us the magic, the humor and poignancy of our re-gion. We will miss him very much.”

Howser was one of the most loved and respected television personalities on the West Coast with his folksy humor and signature style. He was the host of the popular series “California’s Gold's” that explored every nook and cranny of the Golden State for the past two decades.

Huell Burnley Howser was born on

October 18, 1945 in Gallatin, Tennessee.Howser received his first name from a

portmanteau of his parents' names, Harold and Jewell, as revealed in the California's Gold episode "Smartsville.”

Howser received a B.A. in history from the University of Tennessee, Knox-ville, where he also served as student body president. After serving in the U.S. Ma-rine Corps and on the staff of Sen. Howard Baker, Howser's television career began at WSM-TV in Nashville. He began a se-ries of "human interest" stories for WSM. Howser became extremely popular as the host of a popular segment on what was at that time still a market-dominant station, especially with regard to local news.

After working in New York, he moved to Los Angeles in 1981 to work as a re-porter for KCBS-TV. During 1982-83, he also served as weekend host and cor-respondent for Entertainment Tonight. In 1985 he joined Los Angeles television station KCET, then a PBS affiliate, as a producer of "Videolog," covering short quirky topics.

Howser lived in the historic El Royale Apartments in Los Angeles. He put his unusual three bedrooms, three bathroom Newberry Springs, California, landmark residence dubbed "The Volcano House" on the market for $750,000. Howser then donated the house to Chapman Univer-sity.

Howser produced a popular segment of California’s Gold that highlighted life along Pioneer Boulevard in Artesia that showed the culturally rich “Little India” community during his storied career.

At Howser’s request, no public funeral will be held.

Andrew Ramos Arrested For Murder In Norwalk Slaying of Jimmy De Leon HernandezBy Randy Economy

An arrest has been made in connection of a brutal murder that took place in Nor-walk on January 2.

On Wednesday Sheriff’s Homicide investigators arrested suspect Andrew Ramos for the murder of Jimmy De Leon Hernandez, committed on January 2, 2013, in the 14000 block of Gard Avenue, Norwalk.

Investigators received information that suspect Ramos was staying in a loca-tion on the 1200 block of La Palma Ave-nue, Anaheim. He was taken into custody without incident.

The arrest of Ramos was carried live on several local news stations in Southern California on Wednesday night via live helicopter coverage.

Ramos, a resident of Norwalk, was arrested pursuant to a warrant for mur-der and booked at Norwalk Station where he is being held without bail. The mo-tive is unknown. Captain Pat Maxwell of the Norwalk Station told Los Cerritos Community Newspaper in an email on Wednesday night that Ramos is a known gang member.

The booking photo will not be released due to the on-going investigation. Any-one with information about this incident is encouraged to contact the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department’s Homi-cide Bureau, Missing Person’s Detail at (323) 890-5500. If you prefer to provide information anonymously, you may call “Crime Stoppers” by dialing (800) 222-TIPS (8477), or texting the letters TIPLA plus your tip to CRIMES (274637), or by using the website http://lacrimestoppers.org.

Ex-Local School Official Given Eight Years in Prison

A former official of the Lynwood Uni-fied School District who admitted divert-ing more than $700,000 in public money over four years to pay for personal ex-penses has been sentenced to eight years in state prison, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office announced.

Superior Court Judge Michael Tynan also ordered William Douglas Agopian, 61, of Santa Ana, to pay $700,000 in res-titution to the Lynwood Unified School District and $121,220 to the Franchise Tax Board, said Deputy District Attorney Dana Aratani of the Public Integrity Divi-sion.

Agopian pleaded guilty in November to one felony count each of misappropria-

tion of public funds and filing a false tax return.

Agopian, the district’s former chief business officer, admitted taking the mon-ey from a bank account that had been es-tablished to facilitate a sister-city trip to Mexico for Lynwood students, the pros-ecutor said.

Norwalk Car Wash Moves to DowneyBy Helen M. Brown

Recently the Norwalk Car Wash, lo-cated on Firestone west of Pioneer, final-ized its move to 9534 Firestone Blvd. in Downey. It is now known as the Downey Car Wash. While we were sorry to note the move, we are happy that the owner, Vanid, was able to take all his employees with him on this new endeavor. The facilities in Downey are much newer and more up-to-date than the facilities in Norwalk.

This new site offers a large coffee are with upholstered seating, free coffee and free internet while you are waiting for your car. There is also a larger convenient store with more selections for your on-the-go shopping.

While the move may prove to be in-convenient as to the longer drive for its Norwalk citizens, it is hoped the volume of business will increase with the increase of Downey residents.

While the Norwalk residents will miss this old business in their community, it is wished they will do better at their new lo-cation.

It should be noted the reason for the move was the lease ran out and like so many business decisions being made in this budget-strapped economy, the land-owner was hesitant to renew another long-term lease. The Car Wash had been in Norwalk 25+ years.

Underwater Homeowners Breathe a Sigh of Relief as Congress Extends Mortgage Forgiveness Debt Relief Act

La Mirada, California– January 10 – On January 1, 2013, Congress passed an extension of the Mortgage Forgiveness Debt Relief Act as part of tax bill H.R. 8, the bill addressing the “fiscal cliff.” Originally passed in 2007, this act exempts struggling homeowners from pay-ing taxes on debt forgiven in a short sale, foreclosure, or loan modification.

The bill extends the act through December 31, 2013, allowing underwater homeowners to once again pursue alternatives to foreclosure, such as short sales or loan modifica-tions, without the fear of owing thousands and taxes.

“For distressed homeowners, the extension of the Mortgage Debt Relief Act is amazing news. Before this act, homeowners would negotiate a loan modification or avoid foreclo-sure through a short sale only to find they owed an equally unmanageable tax debt after-wards,” says Kevin Raisch, CDPE, Coldwell Banker Olympic.

As a Certified Distressed Property Expert (CDPE), Kevin Raisch is specially trained to help homeowners who find themselves facing foreclosure. “I’m committed to helping home-owners who are struggling,” Kevin Raisch said. “Too often, homeowners facing foreclo-sure believe there is nothing they can do, but there is.”

“In fact, the options available to homeowners are better than ever. Lenders realize how much foreclosures cost, and increasingly favor short sales and other alternatives over letting a home go to foreclosure. Lenders are more willing than ever to work with home-owners,” said Kevin Raisch.

Kevin Raisch has developed a free report with more infor-mation on the Mortgage Forgiveness Debt Relief Act and the options available to homeowners facing foreclosure. This report, entitled, “Attention: Distressed Homeowners! Congress Renews Critical Homeowner Relief Program,” is accessible from his website, http://www.cdpe.com/profile/view/2143, click on “Useful Links”

Underwater Homeowners Breathe a Sigh of Relief as Congress Extends Mortgage Forgiveness Debt Relief Act

Los Cerritos Community Newspaper once again was the focal point of media outlets throughout Southern California this past week after they released an on-line expose article that featured the public calendar of controversial Los Angeles City Controller Wendy Greuel who is hoping to become the next Mayor of the second larg-est city in America.

Publisher Brian Hews and Investiga-tive Reporter Randy Economy released Greuel’s official city calendar late Monday afternoon on its website www.loscerritos-news.net and within hours their coverage became the top reported news program for a 48 hour period on this week.

Reporting from the LCCN news room (located on Artesia Boulevard and Shoe-maker Avenue) was Fox News Anchor Su-san Hirosuna, NBC Southern California Reporter Patrick Healy, as well as CBS2/KCAL9 Investigative Reporter Dave Lo-pez.

Hews and Economy where also fea-tured on several radio talk shows in South-ern California this week including a live in studio interview with hard hitting journal-ist David Cruz, with the popular “David Cruz Show” on KTLK AM 1150.

Economy was also a guest on 790 KABC Talk Radio’s Peter Tilden Show on Monday night.

LCCN’s coverage into Controller Greuel’s highly controversial calendar was also featured in the Los Angeles Times, The Daily News, Pasadena Star News, San Gabriel Valley Tribune, The LA Weekly, The Huffington Post, KFI’s Bill Carroll Show, CityWatch, and dozens of other me-dia outlets.

Los Cerritos Community Newspaper is being considered for the 2013 Pulitzer Prize for its groundbreaking investigative work that lead to the arrest of Los Angeles County Assessor John R. Noguez, Prop-erty Tax Agent Ramin Salari, as well as two others who are accused of hundreds of collective counts of money laundering, ac-cepting of bribes, and criminal forgery.

Forty needy children enjoyed a Holi-day Shopping Spree sponsored by the La Mirada Rotary Club at Marshalls Depart-ment Store on Wednesday, Dec. 12.

Marshalls opened its doors an hour early to host the eager shoppers. Mar-shalls District Manager Louise Baker, Store Manager Allen Reynolds, and As-sistant Manager Sahar Nesheiwat were on hand to make sure the entire event went smoothly.

Deputies from the Los Angeles Coun-ty Sheriff’s Department and members of the Los Angeles County Fire Department were among the many volunteers who helped children from La Mirada schools select more than $3,000 worth of clothing, jackets, and shoes.

Following the shopping spree, the stu-dents rode on two La Mirada Transit buses to The Palms Retirement Home on La

Mirada Boulevard. While at the Palms, the students received a visit from Santa Claus and sang Christmas carols. Each child also received a gift of a toy provided

by the Rotary Club.“The La Mirada Rotary Club performs

a variety of community service projects throughout the year, and our Holiday Shop-ping Spree is certainly one of the most en-joyable,” says President Mark Troughton. “There are many people in need in our community, and Rotary offers a great way to help others.”

Individuals interested in learning more about how Rotary helps others in the com-munity may attend a meeting of the La Mirada Rotary Club on Wednesdays at 12:30 p.m. in the Red Robin restaurant in the Holiday Inn on the north side of the I-5 Freeway near Valley View Avenue.

Public Records Act (PRA) [GOVT. CODE 6250 - 6276.48] the responding agency of the government must fulfill the request for public records within approximately 24 days. Further extensions can be request-ed but should not go longer than three months.

“But in this case it took the Control-ler’s office six months and several phone calls to provide LCCN with Greuel’s cal-endar. That being said, whether or not the controller’s office is in compliance with the California Public Records Act is defi-nitely a big question,” Hews said.

Upon reviewing Greuel’s calendar, LCCN discovered numerous activities dedicated to advancing her mayoral cam-paign. “Within the first few pages, we quickly found out why the Controller’s office was so hesitant to give us Gruel’s calendar”, said Hews. “The activities we found appear to show that she is in vio-lation of the Los Angeles Governmental Ethics Commission Ordinance No. 172891 Section 49.5.5 (B).”

The ordinance states: “No City of-ficial or employee of an agency shall en-gage in campaign related activities, such as fundraising, the development of elec-tronic or written materials, or research for a campaign or an elective office or ballot measure during the hours for which he or she is receiving pay to engage in City business; or using city facilities, equip-ment, supplies of other city resources.”

Several times Greuel had her city staff scheduled to attend mayoral campaign-related events after hours. Greuel even had her Controller Executive Team brief her for a mayoral debate on the Thai Com-munity Development.

Further, on at least one occasion dur-ing regular business hours, Gruel met with people such as Rick Jacobs, a politi-cal organizer and founder of the Califor-nia Courage campaign and past California chairman of Howard Dean 2004 presi-dential effort; Eric Bauman, Chairman of the LA County Democratic Party and Vice Chair of the California Democratic Party; Maria Elena Durazo, Chairman of

the LA County Federation of Labor; Mi-chael Bustamante of California Strategies, a political advisory firm; Michael Mand of Creative Artist Agency (a Talent Agency); John Shallman and Marty Cooper, cam-paign strategists; LA Grant Communica-tions, a full service marketing, advertising, and communications firm; Donna Lucas, Lucas Public Affairs; Yashar Hedayat, known for fundraising for Hillary Clinton; Teray Stephens another local fundraiser; political consultant Lindsay Bubar; politi-cal consultant Myung Soo Seok; Douglas Herman a Democratic political strategist and direct mail specialist; Gary Belz, Pres-ident of the House of Blues; Arturo Var-gas of the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials; Antonio Gonzalez of the Southwest Voter Registra-tion Education Project.

Greuel even attended a wedding cer-emony at the posh Terranea Resort during regular office hours.

“According to the calendar, Angelinos are paying for Wendy Greuel to run for Mayor. The names above are only a sam-pling. We found a majority of her time is spent fundraising, meeting for lunch, and attending parties all over town. Even more egregious is the appearance that she is using her Controller staff to advance her 2013 mayoral campaign,” said Hews.

Los Cerritos Community Newspaper was the publication that broke the story about the current criminal investigation inside the Los Angeles County Assessor’s Office that has resulted in the arrest of As-sessor John R. Noguez, multi millionaire property tax Agent Ramin Salari, and two other members of the Assessor’s inner circle.

LCCN also sent requests to both Garc-etti and Perry on Monday to obtain copies of their official calendars as well.

As we ask other elected officials in Los Angeles who are running for office to exercise transparency, let’s hope they are less resistant to transparency than Greuel,” Hews stated.

“Los Cerritos Community Newspaper is also requesting that Los Angeles Coun-ty District Attorney Jackie Lacey review Greuel’s calendar to see if any possible laws were violated,” Hews said.

A copy of Greuel’s calendar can be at loscerritosnews.net

and around Norwalk, La Mirada and the Unincorporated Area of East and South Whittier and Los Nietos.

“I have seen it all. Crime goes up, it goes down, but we have to always remem-ber that a real person is affected each and every day,” Cleary said.

He said that one of his biggest accom-plishments was busting up a car burglary

ring in which 27 vehicles had their car ste-reos stolen. “We found the guys who did it and we had each and everyone of those stereos returned to their proper owners and all of them were reinstalled. That was amazing when you stop and think about it,” Cleary said. For his efforts he was presented the Departments Meritorious Conduct Medal that he pointed to on his uniform during his last shift.

Cleary had huge praise showered on him by Captain Patrick Maxwell, of the Norwalk Station. “Reserve Commander Cleary has proudly worn the Sheriff’s uni-form for 38 years all of which have been at the Norwalk Sheriff’s Station. For the past 27 years he worked as Unit 45R, serving the residents of the City of Norwalk every Friday and Saturday night,” Maxwell said in an interview.

Prior to his Norwalk assignment, he spent 11 years serving the residents of un-incorporated Whittier as Unit 48R.

“Reserve Commander Cleary’s dedi-cation and exemplary work ethic will con-tinue to influence many deputies, past and present, at Norwalk Sheriff’s Station. He has built a legacy and I am forever grateful for his service,” Maxwell said.

“I have grown children and two grand-children, and it is a good feeling to know that I can do whatever I want from now on,” Cleary laughed.

Cleary also said that “Norwalk is a safer place today that back when I started here in the 1970’s.”

so they took a nap for two hours.At six o’clock in the evening, my son

Mark, his wife Lisa, their daughters, Ash-ley and Celeste, came for dinner along with his in-laws, Bob and Dora Witkowski. We had a multi-cultural dinner with Japanese rice, Teriyaki Beef, Chinese Chicken Sal-ad, Japanese Chicken Umani Vegetables, with Spanish Flan, Mexican Pan Duce and hot chocolate for dessert.

No one was hungry after that dinner! Ayaka and Mikuri learned how to

play Mexican train dominoes after din-ner. Ayaka learned the game well enough to win one of the games and Mikuri came close to winning too! They also learned to play a card game called Pounce while they did their laundry late at night.

I learned that Ayaka and Mikuri usu-ally ate miso soup with tofu and rice for

breakfast, so I prepared those things for breakfast the next morning, January 2. We planned to take them out to a restaurant of their choice for lunch, but the girls said they were really tired after the past day’s activities so they slept in till 10:30 a.m. and then had a brunch of miso soup, tea and rice.

The girls had to be at Kennedy Per-forming Arts Center by 1:00 p.m. to prac-tice for the evening’s performance, so we delivered them there on time. We did not see them again till the concert began at 6:30 p.m. We were so proud to see them performing with the All Izumo Green Honor Band and looked for them as they performed on stage.

My husband and I were sad to say good bye to our two Japanese visitors who were like “granddaughters” whom we came to know and love in the short time that we spent together. We hope that they enjoyed their stay with us as we learned more about their city and customs, and they learned about how we live here in California. My husband said visits like these probably help to increase interna-tional understanding about people. People are the same the world over with their love of family, of children, of dogs, and also, their love of beautiful music that binds them all together.

By Edna Ethington

Editor’s note: The following is an account of one LA Palma family hosting band-members from Japan.

My husband David and I were delighted to be hosts for two of the All Izumo Green Honor Band this year, Ayaka Sumigawa and Mikuri Sakane. The Green Band As-sociation is very well organized. It had provided information sheets about each of the girls, so we learned that Ayaka played the flute and Mikuri played the bassoon in the All Izumo Green Honor Band and they both were 17 years old. We also knew that they both wanted to learn to speak English better and that they both loved dogs. For foods that they liked, Ayaka wrote that she liked pasta and Mikuri said that she liked tomatoes and ice cream.

From those bits of information, I pre-pared a spaghetti and meatball dinner, with salad, garlic bread and Dump Cake and ice cream for dinner on the first night of their stay with us on December 30, 2012. They ate the spaghetti and meatballs and en-joyed eating the cake and ice cream.

We do not have any dogs, but since our grandson Keith Kono was staying with us for a few days, he brought his two dogs to also stay with us. Ayaka and Mikuri were happy to see Yuki, a Bijon Friese, and Shiro, a Maltese, and played with them as often as they could.

We did not have too much time to spend with them at home because the girls had to go to Kennedy High school early the next morning to practice for the Rose Parade. However, they were able to have a choice of items in a breakfast of fruit, juice, scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage with mini English muffins and jam before leav-ing for practice. They prayed before eat-ing, saying in Japanese, “Itadakemasu.” We learned that phrase last year when we hosted two students from Tachibana High School also in Japan.

While the girls were at practice, my husband David was practicing how to use information on the Internet in order to be able to ask or answer more questions in Japanese and English. I am of Japanese descent, of what the Japanese call “Sansei” or third generation in America, so I could speak and understand some Japanese a lit-tle, or “sukoshi.” I found that my husband was able to communicate even more by using our I Pad! It also helped to have an English to Japanese dictionary on hand to translate simple phrases such as “Where is the bath room,” “Good morning,” “Good night,” and “Are you hungry?”

We picked the girls up from practice about 1:30 p.m. on December 31 and asked them what they wanted to have for lunch. From a choice of Korean, Mexican or Carl’s Jr. hamburgers, they both wanted hamburgers. They actually chose teriya-ki hamburgers and French fries for their lunch. We also took the girls shopping at the Los Cerritos Shopping Center for a few hours since they wanted to shop for some gifts, omiyagi, for friends in Japan.

Since it was New Year’s Eve, I pre-pared a traditional Japanese New Year’s Eve noodle dish called soba, noodles made of buckwheat, and dipped in a soup made with a fish base dashi and soy sauce. I also served shrimp tempura and pickled cab-bage. It was a light dinner because the girls had to be brought to the Holiday Inn in Buena Park by 8:00 p.m. in order to be ready to go to Pasadena by 4:00 a.m. the next day for the Rose Parade.

We picked the girls up from the Holi-day Inn at about 3:30 p.m. after they re-turned from the Rose Parade on January 1. I served them another traditional Japa-nese dish, mochi and vegetables in a soup called oshiruko for good luck. They were tired after all their early morning march-ing for five miles during the Rose Parade

Glenn Girls Survive Low Scoring Affair With ArtesiaBy Loren Kopff

Most, if not all, of the Suburban League girls basketball coaches have al-ready stated that this figures to be a down year in the circuit across the board. So, it came as no surprise to John Glenn head coach Linda Parra that neither her team, nor visiting Artesia, reached 40 points last Friday night.

In fact, Parra praised the Pioneers, who entered the game with one victory in their first 11 games. But Artesia succumbed to Glenn’s erratic offensive play over the final 11 minutes and the Lady Eagles es-

With 4:43 left in the third quarter, Ar-tesia had a 22-19 lead but would go into a shooting slump the rest of the way. Glenn senior Angie Console, who has been in-jured as of late, scored three straight points and senior Lizeth Perez scored on one of her four offensive rebounds to put the hosts in front for good.

Artesia got to within four points twice in the fourth quarter, the last coming with 1:53 remaining when Avila sank a pair of free throws. But Glenn went on a 5-1 run to complete the defensive affair.

“We do a lot of things defensively that are completely wrong and it’s completely against what we teach,” Parra said. “You call a timeout and you ask them a ques-tion and they give you the right answer, then they go out and do the complete op-posite.”

Avila led Artesia with 12 points and six steals while senior Tangeray Beverly pulled down 10 rebounds. Gomez paced the Lady Eagles with 17 points, one off her career high, and also had five steals. Con-sole added nine points and grabbed seven rebounds. Both teams shot no better than 31 percent from the field and combined for 64 turnovers and 19 missed free throws. This was the third loss of eight or fewer points in the past six games for Artesia.

“They’re just like us,” Parra said. “They’re exactly like a La Mirada and they’re exactly like a Bellflower. Had they made [some of] those lay-ups, they’re winning a game. Yeah, they used to be a powerhouse back in the day but they’re an average basketball team. There’s a lot of potential sitting on that team. They’re fast. Those guards for Artesia blew past the Mayfair guards. They just got blocked by the 6’ 2” girls in the key. I don’t think

caped with an ugly 39-31 win in their league opener. Glenn, which was held to under 40 points for the sixth straight time and 11th time this season, improved to 7-8 at the time but according to Parra, it was close to falling to 6-9.

“They should have beaten us,” Parra admitted. “You look at their stats and you look at the opportunities they missed. We don’t hit wide open lay-ups. They got how many wide open lay-ups on us? We’re lucky; we’re fortunate. I’ll tell you that.”

Artesia senior Angie Avila’s steal and basket put the Pioneers in front 6-5 late in the first quarter. After Glenn regained the lead on a basket from junior Myra Gomez, the Pioneers got a three-pointer from se-nior Kimberly Tagumasi with 14 seconds left in the quarter and Artesia would hold the lead the remainder of the first half and into the opening minutes of the third quar-ter.

Both teams were nearly equal in almost category in the first half. Both connected on five field goals and Glenn attempted two more shots from the field. Artesia had 18 turnovers in the half, two more than Glenn, while the Lady Eagles missed one more free throw than Artesia as both were only true on two charity shots.

Artesia held a 14-13 lead at the half with Tagumasi leading her team with eight points and four rebounds while Gomez scored all but two of her teams’ points be-fore halftime.

“Our scouting report said make them go left and overplay their right,” Parra said. “We knew [Avila] is definitely their better player. She’s something. I would love to coach a player like her.”

they’re as bad as people believe.”Meanwhile, the Glenn boys basketball

team was searching for its first victory of the season and for the first 10 minutes, it looked as if the Eagles would crack the win column. But Artesia outscored Glenn 14-5 in the second quarter and went on for a 53-34 victory to improve to 6-11 overall and 1-1 in the league.

“That was nice and it was a big game for us,” said Artesia first-year head coach Ray Walker. “I’ve seen them play a couple of times and I knew it was going to be a big challenge for us. We’re getting better, so that was a good sign.”

Of the 14 points scored, all but four came from the biggest surprise this far-senior Francisco Galan. The quarterback from the football team, who is playing var-sity basketball for the first time, returned from an ankle injury he suffered in a Dec. 18 game against Sunny Hills and led ev-eryone with a career-high 21 points. His basket 64 seconds into the second quar-ter tied the game at 13-13 and following a three-pointer from Glenn junior Anto-nio Lucero, Galan reeled off eight straight points.

“We definitely needed him today,” Walker said. “He brings toughness to our team that we sometimes lack.”

Although the Pioneers were leading by seven points at the break, they pulled away from the Eagles with runs of 8-2 and 14-7 in the third quarter. Junior Jon Camp-bell came off the bench to add 10 points while the other four starters combined to score 14 points for the Pioneers, who have won at least 31 straight games against the Eagles. Glenn had a trio of players score eight points-Lucero and juniors Ardale Encabo and Erich Webb.

“We just have to keep working and we don’t have room to take a play off,” Walk-er said. “We have to be on task the entire time because we’re not as skilled enough to overcome mental mistakes.”

Both Glenn teams would fall to La Mirada this past Monday as well as May-fair this past Wednesday and will visit Nor-walk today and Bellflower on Wednesday. The Artesia girls fell to Norwalk 57-34 this past Monday as Avila scored a dozen points and was slammed by Cerritos 68-33 this past Wednesday. Avila led her team with 13 points and nine rebounds while Beverly added 11 points. The Artesia boys were on the short end of a 39-30 decision to Norwalk but rebounded to go wire to wire and knock off Cerritos 53-34. Ju-nior A.J. Benson led the Pioneers with 24 points while Galan grabbed 13 rebounds. The two Artesia squads will travel to La Mirada on Wednesday.

Artesia’s Winning Streak Moves to a Perfect 10, Team Prepares for Nemesis La MiradaBy Loren Kopff

At this point, the Artesia girls soccer team can do no wrong. This past Wednes-day, the Pioneers ventured to Cerritos, a place where they have found recent suc-cess, and picked up their school-record 10th consecutive victory.

Behind a pair of goals from senior for-ward Carolina Ornelas, Artesia notched a 3-1 victory to improve to 13-2-2 overall and 4-0 in the Suburban League. Artesia head coach Octavio Marquez has been pretty surprised of his team’s hot streak but knows the bigger prize lies ahead with a road trip to defending league champion La Mirada.

“It was nice to get the win,” Marquez said. “I didn’t think we played like we’ve been playing the last couple of games. But anytime you get a victory, it’s good. Ev-ery time we come to Cerritos, especially the last several years, it’s been a battle. Maybe the girls were looking forward to La Mirada. I told them our focus was Cer-ritos today.”

“We lost [Jasmine] Cornejo and Itzel [Gonzalez] last year and those are two big impact players,” Marquez added. “If some-one said you’re going to win 10 games in a

row, I probably would have said no.”Artesia, which has now won six straight

over Cerritos and nine of the last 10 meet-ings, struck first three minutes in when junior midfielder Tiffany Castillo found Ornelas on a breakaway and her speed al-lowed her to get past the Cerritos defense and take advantage of a defensive blunder post her team-leading 19th goal.

“I think that’s one of my biggest is-sues,” said Cerritos first-year head coach Tony Montalvo said. “One of my defenders was stepping out of her zone and leaving the center uncovered. That’s what cost us a goal pretty much. They were not mentally prepared when they [began the game].”

Offensively, the Lady Dons (7-4-2, 1-2) were stymied in the first half, getting off just two shots while watching the Pioneers increase their lead to 2-0 in the 23rd min-ute on a Castillo free kick from 35 yards out that just got over the outstretched arms of Cerritos senior goalkeeper Sirena Costa. It was the 13th goal for Castillo, who has filled in nicely as half of the one-two scor-ing punch that Marquez thought he had lost when Cornejo graduated last season.

“Even last year, she’s up there in goals,” Marquez said. “She’s a fast girl who can shoot the ball from anywhere. She gives us

that outside threat.”Castillo and Ornelas worked their

magic six minutes into the second half when Castillo took a corner kick and Or-nelas headed in the third tally for the visi-tors. Cerritos avoided the shutout in the 59th minute when sophomore Tia Sanford scored off a pass from sophomore Rebecca Hobson.

“We did much better in the second half than we did in the first,” Montalvo said. “We made some adjustments but still, we missed a couple of balls that we should have put in.

“We had opportunities but we didn’t finish them,” he later continued. “[Artesia] finished every single one of [theirs], espe-cially taking advantage of our mistakes. I’m looking forward to the second game with them.”

During the winning streak, Artesia has allowed seven goals and blanked its opponents three times. For the season, op-ponents have found the back of the net 16 times but that defense will be put to the test on Wednesday. The Pioneers have never defeated La Mirada on the field in school history. Three seasons ago, the Matadores defeated Artesia 2-1 but later had to forfeit the victory. The two teams also played to a

scoreless tie in 2008. Last season, Artesia lost 4-1 on the road and 2-1 in overtime at home.

“Obviously that’s the only school we haven’t beaten in league,” Marquez said. “We just have to go in there ready and fo-cused. Every time we go to La Mirada, it’s an intimidation factor. It’s a mental thing. Before the game starts, we feel intimidated. I think I have a different group [this year]. These girls have been clicking and they un-derstand how big of a game the La Mirada game is going to be.”

Cerritos, which fell to La Mirada 2-1 in overtime on Jan. 4, will visit Bellflower today and host Mayfair on Wednesday.
