On Sunday, May 31, 2009 at the An-nual Norwalk Community Coordinat-ing Council Brunch, President Bill Clark proudly announced Maxine Sears as Nor-walk’s 2009 Citizen and Payush Chatta as the 2009 Youth of the Year.

Each year the NCCC accepts nomina-tions from Norwalk’s three high schools and from other Norwalk service organizations in order to spotlight exem-plary youths and adult residents who make a dif-ference in the community and in the lives of others.

This year the adult nominees included: Jim Bustamante, nominated by Norwalk Cadet Post #421; Patricia Martin, nominated by the Nor-walk Woman’s Club, and Maxine Sears, nominated by Norwalk Department of Public Safety. Maxine was chosen to serve as the 2009 Citizen of the Year. All nominees are eligible to be nominated again in 2010 as are other wor-thy residents, the only requirement being that they lived within the city of Norwalk and are involved in volunteer services.

Maxine filled these requirements ad-mirably. She is a Public Safety volunteer assisting at the Sub-Station with data entry of our community enhancement requests and several others of the city’s valuable programs. She is always dependable, effi-cient, and unfailingly punctual. It is rare to find someone as detail oriented as Maxine. Her skills do not end with office duties; she also projects a warm and friendly attitude to our community. It is proudly reported that she has been a model city volunteer

for fifteen (15) years and all appreciate her selfless service over the years. Her loy-alty, reliability, and top-drawer work have helped greatly in our city’s growth. She was also appointed to be a Public Safety Commissioner and has served in that ca-pacity for the past thirteen (13) years.

There were Nine (9) nominees for the Youth of the Year title and scholarship. These included Caroline Acosta JGHS,

Alejandro Alvarado NHS, Angelvy Ban NHS, Payush Chatta NHS, Dennis Do NHS, Carmen Javier SFHS, Cesar Pineda JGHS, Esmeralda Tellez SFHS, and Jenni-fer Rodriguez NHS.

School Board member and NCCC Treasurer Pauline Deal introduced Payush Chatta as the 2009 Youth of the Year. The committee of judges found Payush to be a most deserving young man. He attends Norwalk High School. He volunteers at his temple which includes singing every 4th Sunday and assisting the priest during the

Publisher's RantTime to Act

I heard about the most polluted city re-port while at the car wash Tuesday morn-ing on Good Day LA, the local Channel 11 show on FIX, excuse me, Fox TV. This is owned by the same corporation that airs Hannity, Beck, Bill O’Really, and other right wing nut jobs, so is this report sur-prising coming from an organization that allows the aforementioned on the air?

As the owner of the car wash and I watched, he was as shocked as I. “Not a good way to start your short retreat to Santa Barbara with you daughter for her college orientation”, I said. The reporter blithely stated Cerritos is the blah, blah, blah, and then did not back it up with any facts, much like many reporters on FOX, she must be in training to move up. It got

so bad that the lead anchor interrupted and said, “in all fairness Cerritos is a beautiful city”. “Damn right”, I said.

So what should be done about this? I trust that the city will handle its’ own but that still leaves you and us. Call your congress-people (Linda Sanchez, Grace Napolitano), senators (Tony Mendoza, Alan Lowenthal), Supervisor Knabe, any ear you can bend and tell them that you are outraged and something needs to be done. Post your comments on our blog and we will publish, http://lccng.blogspot.com.

This paper respectfully asks our local politicians to act too, and we, as the watch-dog in the community, will be monitoring this closely.

It is damage control time, we were broadsided in a report that took everyone by surprise, but the damage was done. So its time to act to minimize the damage. Cer-ritos, the All-American City, recent winner of the Livability Award. Cerritos-known as "Tree City! Send that to the Evil Protection Agency to start the retraction process.

Dear Editor:Absolutely ridiculous!

(This) Looks like this is an isolated 2002 EPA study that was narrowly focused. As someone who represents both the Ports of LB and LA I can tell you we are very for-tunate to live in Cerritos.

The neighborhoods surrounding the Ports suffer immensely from bad air. There will be those who attempt to make politi-cal fodder of this but I think the EPA owes Cerritos an apology.

Don Knabe LA County Supervisor

Dear Editor:A new report by the Environmental

Protection Agency (EPA) has found that the air quality in the city of Cerritos has the highest cancer risk in the Los Angeles area. The reason cited was the city's proximity to three freeways. Why do the results of government agency studies like this, often appear to be questionable? A significant amount of tax dollars has been spent to obtain such results. As a naive air quality resident of Cerritos, I pose the following questions:

1. What city in the Los Angeles area is not close to threee freeways?

2. Might the air quality in the city of Artesia be safer than Cerritos?

3. What will now be pursued by the EPA or the city of Cerritos? Wayne Muramatsu

Cerritos

Dear Editor:Cerritos has in recent years won a city

award for livability, a green tree city award and been praised for its reclaimed water program.

Cerritos requires its trash pick up trucks and city bus system to run using clean burning fuel. There is no city around that is more environmentally conscious than Cerritos.

Now some government agency has come out and said that Cerritos is the worst polluted city in the world. HUH ? Did I read that right? Worst in the world? Worse than Chernobyl? Worse than brown cloud shrouded Shanghai? Is the air quality so much better in Norwalk, Lakewood, Bell-flower La Palma, or Artesia? If not why not also name them as a part of the "worst " in the world.

What I really would like to know is in this time of budget tightening and lean tax dollars, which government bureaucracy had the money to waste preparing that bo-gus report?

John CrawleyCerritos City Councilman - Retired

Dear Editor:Like many of you I was shocked when I

heard the report that Cerritos has the worst air in the nation according to a 2002 EPA Study. However that was done in 2002

and sometime within the next few months a new report will hit the stands with new information from a 2005 study. But the damage will already be done to the reputa-tion of Cerritos, and lets just hope the value of your homes wont be affected. What I can tell you is the EPA grossly mismanaged this operation and the news media exploit-ed it. Not once did I hear that Cerritos had the worst Air Quality, it was Cerritos has the worst Air Quality. Huge difference.

What I want to know is how many tests were done, what formula was used to when compiling this data, and more importantly how many retests were done. The bigger question is how come we're just getting the data from a 2002 study? When a 2005 study is only a few months away. Is the 2002 team that much more efficient than the 2005 team? I'd be willing to bet that these same government bureau-crats couldn't duplicate the results that just rocked Cerritos.

However, Cerritos should take full ad-vantage of this study and hit up the EPA for some cash. Lots of cash... After all we have the worst Air Quality in America.

Brian Crawley

Dear Editor:I love Cerritos, California. Cerritos is

the most beautiful city in America. I am PROUD to call Cerritos my Hometown. I am Cerritos. I bleed Cerritos Green.

I will defend our community and all of it's wonderment to any Washington agency any day of the week.

I want hear all of the KNOWN/TRUE facts on this report issued yesterday by the Environmental Protection Agency.

We deserve to hear all sides on this is-sue and I hope that officials from the EPA can visit us here and show us their facts, instead of just posting an item on a web site in language no one understands. Shame on the Obama Administration for allowing this to be handled this way.

I want our Congresswoman Linda T. Sanchez to hold Congressional Hearings on this issue. Why must seek and demand answers.

Congresswoman Grace Napolitano from Norwalk, is asking questions about this report, and I applaud her for her quick response. Grace cares about cleaning up toxic waste in our bedroom communities here. She has taken on the Army Corp of Engineers and the EPA for years regard-Engineers and the EPA for years regard-ing the polluted Norwalk Tank Fuel Farms. Thanks, for fighting for us, Congresswom-an Napolitano!

This is about asking questions, and de-manding answers, and getting to the truth.

We must all seek accountability and transparency from all parts of our govern-ment. I live less than 1/4 of a mile from Carmenita and Alondra, from this so-called "ground zero" area.

My health is my life. Your health is your life. Let's work to seek the truth.

Peace.Randy Economy

Summer Spotlight on Artesia Libraryby Justin Pao

Not everyone knows about the Artesia Library, the library is smaller than its neighbor, but more intimate.

The place is hosting a great number of free programs over this summer. Its main event is the Summer Reading Celebration, which has a theme of “Be Creative @ Your Library” and encourages children to read a wide variety of books. After signing up at the library, children will receive a goodie bag and activity book to record their progress. Prizes are given based on the number of minutes read.

Supported by the county and the Friends of Artesia Library, the program began successfully on June 20 with over 150 registering on the first day. The pro-gram also lasts until August 31, so signups are still welcome.

Music-loving kids can also have fun at the Artesia Library with the Learn to Play Music program. Every Saturday morning from June 27 to August 8, children can learn to play the recorder and read music. Kids receive a free recorder, although signups are limited to 20 every Saturday.

Other events for children include story times on Tuesday nights, perfect for parents who work during the day. The myBookclub, a book club for kids grade 4 to 8, meets on Saturday mornings. Events on Saturday afternoon include puppet shows, art workshops, folk dances, and magic shows.

Older visitors to the library need not worry; there are also many events for teens and adults. There is a separate sum-mer reading program which also lasts the entire summer. For every book or audio book read, participants get a drawing ticket for a chance to win gift cards to local businesses. The Artesia Book Club also meets at the library on Tuesday morn-

ings.For teens seeking community service

credit, the library offers many volunteer opportunities for teens and young adults over the summer. Unlike the Cerritos Li-brary, where there is an extremely limited amount of positions, the Artesia Library has many spots available. “We need all the help we can get,” says Nightingale. She says that the volunteers assist with the Summer Reading Program and get to interact more with the children.

The ABC Unified School District was recently forced to discontinue its summer school program because of state budget cuts. The Homework Center at the Artesia Library, however, continues to offer free tutoring every day during the summer and Wednesdays during the school year.

The Artesia Library itself is very impressive, it is part of the County of LA Public Library System, which means that it has access to the millions of items in its 84 branches. Even better, any California resident, not just local residents, is eligible for a county library card which can be used at any branch. Cardholders can also request items from other libraries and have them delivered to the nearest branch and also have access to online research databases. “Many people are just not aware that all these things are free,” says Nightingale. “We just want to be a service to the com-munity.”

Student Unloading and Loading at Gahr High

We need help! The Residents and Business in the area around Gahr High School are pleading with the City of Cerritos and the ABC School District to enforce the “On Campus Loading and Unloading System. They need to take responsibility before an accident occurs.

Everyone in the area is extremely tired of living with this daily nuisance of impossible traffic congestion every morning and evening plus the writing on the sidewalks and fences, and trash snacks thrown all over the yards and street.

The blight is not only causing depression on Property Values in the area, which will eventually have City Wide implications. Banks and insurance companies take this kind of blight very seriously. Once the city’s reputation is tainted, it is near impossible to change it. In addition, the problem is causing mental depression to some of the area’s residents.

It is like living in a War-Zone.The City of Cerritos and the ABC

School District seem to have closed their minds to the problem, and they just look the other way. I recently heard someone say, “In a place where everyone thinks alike, no one is thinking very much.” Some how this reminded me of the uni-son attitude response I receive every time I call the School District or the City who are suppose to be in charge of handling these problems. They all say, “Nothing can be done.”

If anyone reading this letter can think of a possible solution to this prob-lem, please notify this newspaper. The neighbors around Gahr High School are working on a list of suggested possible solutions to present to the City Council and School Officials. We just cannot accept “Nothing can be done,” and look the other way. We have to live with it everyday.A Mapes Avenue Resident

Our CountryOn the Road Again –

White Sands to Lincoln CountyDr. Bob Hughlett

So next we’re on the road travers-ing the spots on the missile testing range where they detonated many megaton be-hemoths 50 years ago when we turn left to take in the sights at the White Sands National Park – thanks to the urgings of Marianne. The gypsum sands – meaning pure white and heavy – are reminiscent of

the “Lawrence of Arabia” opus (kids, ask your folks) minus the camels. The proper-ties of the heavy sand cause it to mound in very spiffy dunes which take on odd shapes.

A bit further down the road – a few miles past the forlorn cemetery in the ghost town of Hope - we pulled into Artesia, New Mexico, home of the Dawgs. Not sur-prisingly, Artesia is named after the myriad of artesian wells lying below the surface (sound familiar?) and their football team is obviously the center of much of the life in town. The water tower on the outskirts (sound familiar?), for example, bears the jersey numbers of Dawgs from yesteryear who apparently had an impact on their op-ponents of noble proportions. We drove by the school to see Dawgs portrayed as fero-cious bull dogs complete with spiked collar and paw prints painted down the middle of all streets which approached the campus. I can’t imagine the level of hysteria when the Dawgs play their local rivals, and our next stop, the Carlsbad (brace yourself) Cavemen and Cavegirls.

So the following morning marked the arrival of the big day – six hours under-ground in the largest cave system in the western hemisphere. Our morning tour of the left hand tunnel followed a 743 foot descent in an elevator that caused ears to pop at least twice (all the while Maynard’s eyes were rolling back in their sockets as his subterranean phobias bubbled to the surface). The small yet intrepid group spent over an hour exploring a section of the caverns using just candle power and learning of the geologic phenomena which led to their creation. Simply put, you mix rainwater seeping from the surface with oil deposits below to create sulfuric acid which chews (that’s a fancy geologic term) the limestone for 400 million years and presto – the caverns await you. We surfaced after another tour of the King’s Room and two hours of exploration on our own in the Big Room to hike down to the “bat arena” for the nightly departure of the bats. Right on cue, what the ranger estimated to be over 2,000 bats exited the cave and set out for bug dinners across the valley – as did we 20 minutes later, depart, that is, although we weren’t searching for bugs.

We did though find dinner at the Red Chimney, the hottest bbq spot in Carlsbad. Once again we connected with our wait-ress who made us all feel warm and fuzzy by bringing us a very nice dessert on her since “you all have made my day”.

Shortly after sunrise we made a quick stop at the favorite supply depot of the Wild West, Wal-Mart, gassed up once again and were traveling toward the famously notori-ous Roswell New Mexico. We parked at the UFO Museum and Research Center (yes, that’s the name) and spent a delight-ful hour wandering around display after

Dr. Urban on Today’s Dentistry

The ABC’s of Oral Lesions

Everyone has experienced mouth sores in their lifetime. Fortunately, the tissues of the mouth quickly heal and the le-sions disappear. Let me briefly review the types of lesions that can occur and what you should be concerned about.

Traumatic lesions such as lip and cheek biting, pizza burns, and gum scrapes are painful but short lived. The lesions are tender for about a week then heal over in the second week. During this time it is important not to re-injure the site and to avoid acid or astringent foods. Rinsing with warm water with a pinch of salt helps soothe and cleanse the wound. Topical use of benzo-caine ointments (i.e. Orajel or Zilactin) gives temporary relief during the painful phase.

Traumatic wounds may become ulcerated. Ulcers are open wounds that have become infected. They may have a white border with a yellowish mem-brane over the middle. They are usually painful. Oral rinsing with prescription chlorohexidene to reduce the microbes in the ulcer and topical ointments are effec-tive and will speed up recovery.

Blistering and sloughing are often associated with certain diseases. If some damage oc-curs to a component of the oral mucosa the layers can separate. This separation results in a blister. When a blister ruptures sloughing will occur and the area becomes ulcerated. These lesions may require topical or ingested steroid applications.

Swellings and growths can be the result of infections, reactions to a chronic stimulus, or a new unwanted growth (neoplasm). Your dentist should check these enlargements. Infections will usually respond to antibiotics and treatment or removal of the source of the infection. Over-growth of the tissue should be evaluated to determine if it is serious or benign. A neoplasm

should be biopsied and closely followed.

Pigmented lesions are usually dark. A pigmented lesion may be the result of a small fragment of old filling that got trapped in the gums or cheek or from naturally occurring melanin pigmentation or red blood cells. These lesions should be checked. They can be an innocent convolution of capil-laries or be a sign of a malignant melanoma or sarcoma.

An oral lesion can appear white due to the thickening of the keratin layer of the mouth (similar to a skin scab turning white when it is wet). The white patch (leukoplakia) will not rub off and it is difficult to predict its biology. Some form of biopsy is needed to determine malignancy. A white patch can remain the same or change over time and should be monitored by your dentist. Red lesions indicate a thinner keratin layer and may often have a burning discom-fort. Red lesions associated with smoking are of great concern and all should be examined for pre-malignancy.

Your dental office will provide an annual oral cancer exam. Some practitioners are utilizing specially developed screening tests to “see” through to the deeper layers of the mouth for beginning cellular changes. These screens are very accurate and will give peace of mind that everything is okay for now.

Morning Walking Club at Wittmann Elementary School’s principal leads walk to healthier opportunities for students and staff .

Wittmann Elementary is im-proving the health and wellness of its students and staff as a result of innovative changes guided by the Alliance for a Healthier Genera-tion’s Healthy Schools Program – a joint initiative of the American Heart Association and the Wil-liam J. Clinton Foundation.

Wittmann Elementary was featured in the June 2009 issue of the Alliance for a Healthier Gen-eration’s Healthy Schools Pro-gram newsletter. The school has implemented a walking club as a cost-effective way to engage the entire school community – staff, students and parents – in more physical activity. Patrick Walker, the principal at Wittmann was happy to lend his support, time and even his name to the pro-gram.

Every morning before school Walker and a number of parents, staff and students meet on the black top for the “Walking with Walker” morning walk. They walk for about 20 minutes while singing songs together. Walker comments, “It’s a great way for me to be involved and a great chance for me to chat with the kids.”

Students who participate in the walking program receive a “training pass” booklet. This

The goal of the Healthy Schools Pro-gram is to establish a healthy school envi-ronment as the norm and not the exception. To that end, the Healthy Schools Program supports schools across the nation in their efforts to create school environments where there are consistent and clear messages that physical activity and healthy eating are im-portant and encouraged – in the classroom, cafeteria, gym, hallway and schoolyard. Research suggests that a healthier school environment can result in greater academic achievement, improved student and staff attendance and healthier lives for students and educators.

2nd Annual Relay for Life Event Returning to Bellflower

July 11-12, 2009Teams are needed now to sign up for

the 2nd annual American Cancer Society Relay for Life event returning to Bellflow-er the weekend of July 11-12. This excit-ing 24-hour event will take place on the track of Bellflower High School located at 15301 McNab Ave. in Bellflower.

“This year’s event promises to be even bigger and better than last year. We have great entertainment and food vendors lined up to be a part of the celebration. We’re off to a fantastic start so far – we’ve currently raised over $10,000 for the 2009 Relay to date. However, much more is needed to help find a cure for this dreaded disease, so we are inviting the community to help us in our fight against cancer by registering a team for this exciting and worthy event”, said Event Co-Chair Ben Harvey.

Harvey added, “Last year, the Ameri-can Cancer Society (ACS) Bellflower Re-lay for Life event raised over $42,000 for cancer research, outreach and education. That was the first year for the Relay in Bellflower, and the amount raised by this first event was more than any other first year Relay throughout the State of Califor-nia. We now want to build upon what we started last year

The Relay for Life organization is currently accepting both monetary and in-kind donations for the event. To learn more about the Bellflower Relay, please visit the website at www.relayforlife.org/bellflowerca.

For information about registering your team, call Team Committee Co-Chair Jeff Jones at (562) 461-3795. If you are a Can-cer Survivor and would like to take part in the event, call Survivorship Chair Carol Sullivan Miller at (562) 866-0818.

he chose Gahr. “I’ve never regretted it,” Baca says.

He’s taught theatre for 19 years where his students perform in 4 productions each year—the Fall Production, Spring Musi-cal, the Multicultural-Talent Show and the Readers Theatre. As many as 60 students perform in the Spring Musical, while about 20 participate in the Readers Theatre.

Productions have included such heavy hitters as The Hunchback of Notre Dame, To Kill A Mockingbird, and Inherit the Wind in the fall to Guys and Dolls, West Side Story, and Oklahoma in the spring. The rehearsals and preparation can be te-dious, and it’s not uncommon for the stu-dents and Baca to give up holiday or vaca-tion time to prepare for a performance.

“The school has gone through its fifth band director, but I’m still here. I love what I do and have no intention of leav-ing any time soon.” The students also are committed and usually will have to pay out of pocket for costume rentals and other in-

cidentals.Joseph Benito Byington, Gahr’s In-

ternational Thespian Society’s current President, and one of Baca’s shining stars, played Rusty Charlie in this year’s Guys and Dolls. “It is truly a blessing to be under Baca’s wing!” he said.

To be a member of the ITS, a student

must promote the theatre and provide com-munity service. Its 30 members must have been in at least one production at Gahr and volunteer numerous hours at local sites

where they perform a play that they have written or read a story that they act out to a group of elementary students.

“It’s a joy to take students who think they couldn’t possibly be on a stage, and watch their expression as they take curtain calls. The glow in their faces is phenom-enal and makes my job so worth while,” says Baca.

Although the finished product ap-pears to be flawless, it takes many hours of hard work and dedication to pull it off. Occasionally, the students may have a sur-prise or two. Baca will never forget a few years ago when they were rehearsing for The Little Shop of Horrors and there was an earthquake. The lights went out tem-porarily while the 5 actors were attached to the main man-eating plant. “It was a little scary, and some of the girls began to scream.”

Gahr’s annual OSGAHRS show, an awards show with entertainment and din-ner, was a huge success this year. More than 120 students and guests from drama classes and productions attended the cere-mony. Primarily, it commends seniors who have been part of the theatre. All seniors are recognized on stage and a farewell song is dedicated to them. This year, Junior Ma-ria Tuadi wrote and sang an original song called, “The Final Curtain.”

Well over 100 awards were presented which included appreciation awards to crew and adults for their support of theatre. The “Angel” of the Year Award was given to Rey Jaquez for his countless hours of building and painting sets.

Other major awards included Per-formance of the Year presented to Sapir Ohayon for her portrayal as Miss Adelaide in Guys and Dolls. Chris McNeil received the Best Thesbian Award. Best Actor in Advanced Theatre went to Dominic Du-arte, and Bree Cardenas was honored as Best Actress. Best Supporting Actor and Actress awards were given to Joey By-ington and Ana Bravo. Best Future Stars included Morgan Mason, Zakk Otto and Dominic Duarte.

“It’s amazing how students from all walks of life enroll in my drama classes and become disciplined in an area that may be new to them. It’s a joy to watch.” Baca and his drama students are already prepar-ing for next year’s musical Hairspray.

Artesia Punishers 18-Under Gold Team Sent Home Early In State TournamentBy Loren Kopff

MENIFEE-Right about now is when Bob Medina would have his Artesia Pun-ishers 18-Under travel ball softball team in position to win an Amateur Softball As-sociation state championship and claim an automatic berth to the National Champi-onships later in the summer. But there has been a changing in the guard within the Punishers program and now, Medina has gone one step farther.

For the first time in the Punisher pro-gram, there is an 18-Under Gold team, the highest level for an ASA youth travel ball team. The Punishers still have an 18-Un-der team, coached by Dave Salmones, but being a Gold team means playing the best teams across the nation just short of Olym-pic status. This past weekend, Medina’s team was playing in the 2009 Pacific Coast Region 14 18-Under Gold Regional Cham-pionship Tournament with a chance to ad-vance to the Gold Nationals in Oklahoma City in early August.

All Medina needed to do was have his team finish in the top six among 79 teams but the relatively young Punishers went 2-2 and was bounced out early Sunday morn-ing by the (Newbury Park) Combat Pan-thers 9-0. The Punishers have two more cracks of advancing to the Gold Nationals with the first coming today through Sun-day in the 18-Under Gold Sector in Stock-ton. Again, the top six finishers will move on to Oklahoma City.

“It was very enjoyable,” Medina said. “I think we have a team that can compete, seeing that we’re [still] here on Sunday. That’s the most important part, is getting here to Sunday. We’re looking for Division I scholarships for these kids on this team this year. That’s my goal and by being ex-posed in the Gold [division], that’s what we’re trying to do.”

The Punishers, who became an 18-Un-der Gold team in February and were in their first tournament that counted for something since then, defeated the (Newhall) Bustos Elite 5-2 as a four-run bottom of the sixth inning was the difference. Trailing 2-0 go-ing into the bottom of the fourth, Natalia Morales (South East High School) hit a solo home run. She would finish the game with a pair of hits. Two innings later, Mela-nie Bensema (Michigan State University) drove in a pair of runs. That was immedi-ately followed by a two-run shot by May-fair High School’s Mahrisch Medina.

Ali Adelman (University of Connecti-cut) scattered six hits and struck out four. The win sent the Punishers into an early morning contest last Saturday against the (Pleasanton) Lady Hustle and a 3-0 lead quickly turned into a 9-4 loss. The bot-

tom of the first began with Brittany Wright walking Regina Norris (Mira Mesa High School graduate) and yielding an infield single to Autumn Martinez (Ocean View High School). After Martinez stole sec-ond, Norris scored on an error and Marti-nez came home on a double from Morales. Then with two outs, Vanessa Cardoza’s (Ocean View High School) base hit plated Morales.

The Lady Hustle would get a run back in the top of the second, then blew the game wide open with six more in the next inning. The Punishers scored their final run in the bottom of the fourth when Medina hit her second home run in less than 19 hours.

“We gave up a lot of runs in the begin-ning and that’s something we talked about after the game,” Bob Medina said. “We should have beaten them. I have to learn too that I can’t leave [pitchers] in there that long. I had a motive for it and I want to get Nicole [Hair (South High School gradu-ate)] at a level pace and I want her to be ready. I believe Ali would be probably the one that I would go to and run with, but Nicole is the one we’re going to bank on. She’s doing a great job for us.”

Later in the afternoon, the Punishers rebounded for a 5-0 victory against the (Chino) So Cal Crunch as they pounded out 10 hits. Cardoza and Lacey Nilssen (Los Alamitos High School) each had a pair of hits and Adelman was again solid in the circle, scattering four hits. But when the Punishers arrived at Wheat Field this past Sunday morning, they knew they had to win five straight games in order to get to Oklahoma City. The Combat Panthers sent the Punishers home early as they scored twice in the top of the first and four more times in the next frame. The Punishers had just six base runners and were limited to two base hits-a first inning single from Martinez and a fifth inning single from Jes-sica Roper (Mayfair High School).

“I told the girls this is not a champion-ship team,” Bob Medina said. “If anybody comes out here and thinks and believes that we’re going to win Gold Nationals, you’re on the wrong page. We are a scholarship team and we are out here to get [them] scholarships. Every single kid on our team has at least from two to five or six offers already. That is our accomplishment.

“We’re not trying to win Oklahoma City,” he added. “I don’t believe this first year putting us together we can do that. But I know we can compete and we’re getting a lot of offers and a lot of interest in our kids from Division I colleges.”

With a pair of state championships under Bob Medina’s belt, not to mention titles in the Western Nationals and USA/ASA Nationals within the past several years, the move up to Gold status has made it that much easier for the other Punishers 18-Under team. This weekend, they will be playing in the state tournament in River-side with a chance to stake a claim in the 18-Under Nationals in Las Vegas. The top 12 teams from the state tournament will move on to Nationals

“Dave’s team is very capable of win-

ning Nationals,” Bob Medina said. “I would hate to meet Dave in Nationals and lose, or him lose. It wouldn’t be some-thing that I would wish for any of the 30 kids of our Punisher family.”

The rest of the Artesia 18-Under Gold team are: Brittany Colenzo (Downey High School), Hailey Hupp (South Tor-rance High School graduate), Julie Martin (South Torrance High School/Academy of the Arts University), Melanie Ramos (Valencia High School/Howard Junior College), Rochelle Rivera (Fountain Val-ley High School), Riannon Romero (Ken-nedy High School), Vanessa Vasquez (Long Beach State University) and Sara Whitney (La Habra High School gradu-ate).

Cerritos Girls Softball Association Pays Tribute To La Mirada PlayerBy Loren Kopff

Preceding the June 13 contest be-tween the Cerritos and La Mirada 10-Un-der All-Stars in the 11th annual Cerritos Girls Softball Association Tournament, a tribute was made for La Mirada’s Hannah Powell who was recently diagnosed with breast cancer.

Pink balloons and streamers filled the field that the two teams would play their pool play contest on and the Cerritos 10-Under team and coaches all wore pink shirts during the game.

“One of our parents had found out about it and sent an e-mail out to let ev-erybody know the situation was going on,” said CGSA president Lori Williams. “We have a relationship with [La Mirada] and I know the president and e-mailed him and asked him what was going on. We just wanted to do something for her.”

Once Williams found out towards the end of April of Powell’s situation, the CGSA board got together at one of their monthly meetings to see what the league could do to help. A bat was purchased for $300, and then raffled during closing ceremonies last month where over $1000 was raised. The regular season teams also donated close to $1000 left over from their individual league seasons.

The CGSA also gave Powell a shirt, teddy bear, blanket and numerous cards. Fueling off of the pregame festivities, La Mirada went out and blanked Cerritos 5-0 and ended the tournament losing to Tor-rance in the championship game.

“I’ve coached kids for 11 years and to watch, or even know that one of them is going through something like that is tremendously emotional,” Williams said. “You just feel for the family; what they’re going to have to go through and experi-ence. It really touched our hearts in a big way.”

Berkeley and a master’s in public policy from Harvard University while putting herself through school with a mix of loans, scholarships and student jobs.

After graduation her first job was as an attorney for MALDEF. Her cases involved school desegregation, bilingual education and voting rights.

“Always challenge yourself,” she rec-ommends. She crossed over to represent-ing employers in 1996. She has handled cases in the areas of discrimination, sexual harassment, retaliation, federal and state employment-related family medical rights, wrongful termination and First Amend-ment rights.

Her law firm recently took over three floors of the new domed office building at 12800 Center Court Drive in Cerritos Towne Centre, moving three weeks ago from its former location near Los Angeles International Airport.

Ms. Rodríguez Moisa is delighted with their new location. The drive from Whittier, where she lives with her husband and three children, is now so short she sometimes brings her morning commuter cup of cof-fee to her second-floor office unfinished. She finds the city friendly and well-man-aged. She enjoys the easy access to many different ethnic restaurants and being near enough that she can cross the street to shop during lunch or before driving home. She is eager for other tenants to fill the remain-ing vacant floors in the new building.

AALRR has been in practice for thirty years. A full-service law firm, it provides legal services in the areas of employment, labor, construction, education, real estate, general business, business litigation, cor-porate, taxation, bankruptcy and immigra-tion.

pia Chen and Armin Reyes were absent.Employee ContractsFollowing approval of the budget, three

items were considered that will define the 2009-2010 school calendar. First approved was an agreement with the ABC Federa-tion of Teachers, Local #2317, California Federation of Teachers, American Federa-tion of Teachers/AFL-CIO. Next approved was an agreement with the California School Employees Association. Last ap-proved was a reduction of the work year and compensation for management and confidential employees.

Evident in the agreements themselves and the discussion surrounding them was an extraordinary level of cooperation among the School Board, Superintendent’s office and employee groups. All those in-volved in negotiations tried especially hard to see that class time for students would not be greatly reduced.

In other business the school board ap-proved contracts for Superintendent Gary Smuts; Deputy Superintendent Mary Sieu; Assistant Superintendent, Human Resources, Carol Hansen; Assistant Su-perintendent, Academic Services, Valen-cia Mayfield; and Chief Financial Officer Toan Nguyen.

The meeting started with a scheduled celebration of the accomplishments of the 2008-2009 school year and ended with un-expected optimism and energy from three Cerritos High School students. Discussion and voting on a budget for next school year weighed heavily in-between.

Meg Jimenez, principal of Niemes El-ementary School, summed up that school’s activities with an audiovisual presentation. The foyer of the District headquarters cur-rently displays winning entries submitted to the Niemes Environmental Science Fes-tival and Fair.

The Cerritos High School Song Team was recognized for its achievement of a national championship. Team members Chelsey Harris, Marianne Mun, Ashley Chang, Karen Pak, Genesis Cabuy and Shirley Cho were present with their coach, Cheryl Aure-Azurin. Not present at the meeting: team members Joyce Ha and Christine Yun.

The Strategic Planning Board Adviso-ry Committee gave an upbeat presentation on phase 3 of the 2006-2010 strategic plan

for the District. That strategic plan is com-prised of five areas: academic excellence for all; healthy students, healthy adults; parent and community involvement; effec-tive resource and facilities management; and professional growth for all employees. The report showed that the district con-tinues to place above state average scores in both mathematics and in English and language arts. The district academic per-formance index (API) for 2008 was 795, only 5 points shy of the 800-point goal. No school in the district has an API less than 600.

At the end of the meeting, during the second public comments section, the mood was brightened by the optimism and drive of three Cerritos High School students seeking Board support for a science Olym-pics program and a green energy genera-tion program.

display educating us about Area 51, alien abductions and crop circles. They were all so convincing that we stopped off at the gift store to buy tee shirts, a bumper sticker with the sage advice to “Buckle Up! It makes it harder for the aliens to suck you out of your car” and a splendid, golden alien golf ball – truly it was a full service Research Center. While having our pictures taken with alien cut-outs on main street we no-ticed a group of four on the sidewalk across the street adorned in their tinfoil hats who were safe for the day at least.

Lincoln County, New Mexico is in the high country and a century and a half ago was the home of Billy the Kid and Fort Stanton. If you listen hard you can hear the soft strains of the “Good, The Bad and the Ugly” theme song. We traveled back into the lawless times of the 44 caliber handgun and stagecoach. A small yet tidy cemetery honoring former Merchant Mariners was a final unique discovery before moving on.

"What's in it for me?" Ho-meowners will love the answer to that question

as they learn more about the new federal economic stimulus bill. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, generally known as the stimulus pack-age, offers special tax credit incentives to homeowners to encourage energy efficiency -- the best part is it's easy.

Homeown-ers can get up to $1,500 maximum tax credit for en-ergy efficient home improvement prod-uct expenditures. The tax credit is 30 percent of the cost of eligible products up to $5,000 total through 2010. The tax credit applies to products that make improvements to the building envelope, like adding insulation to attics, basements, crawl spaces, exterior walls and properly insulated HVAC systems, since those changes significantly impact energy efficiency.

While the tax incentive within the stimulus package may seem complex and daunting, one company, Owens Corning, has made it simple and painless to claim the insulation tax credit. Homeowners can check out InsulationTaxCredit.com to:

* Find insulation products that are eligible.

* Download the Manufacturer's Cer-tificate needed to claim the credit.

* Learn how much insulation should be added to areas of a home, see videos on how to install and get an estimate on how much can be saved in heating and cooling energy-related bills.

* Find local stores to find eligible

products and a local professional to do the installation.

* Additional products that are eligible include windows and roofs that meet ENERGY STAR requirements.

There are approximately 80 million under-insulated homes in the United States and despite major strides in increas-ing energy efficiency; homes continue to be one of the largest users of energy, consuming more energy than industry or transportation. It is estimated that properly insulating homes can help owners save up to 20 percent on heating and cooling

related energy bills. Tax credits aside, in-sulation pays for itself over time in energy not used.

"The expansion of federal income tax credits for homeowners will enable more consumers to afford energy efficiency up-grades that will lower their home energy bills -- which we project to reach about

$2,200 per U.S. household this year -- while increasing the comfort and lowering the carbon footprint of their homes," says Kateri Callahan, president of the Alliance to Save Energy.

According to a report from the researches at the McKinsey Global Institute, almost a quarter of possible greenhouse gas reductions would result from measures such as better insulation in buildings that carry no net life cycle cost -- in effect, they pay for themselves. That means homeowners can lower their energy costs and qualify for federal tax credits while helping the

environment, thanks to the American Re-covery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.

"Homeowners can save twice with insulation -- with up to 20 percent savings on their heating and cooling energy bills and a 30 percent tax credit," says Gale Tedhams, director of sustainability, Owens Corning. "Thanks to the stimulus bill, homeowners have never had a better op-portunity to make an immediate difference in the comfort and affordability of their home and help save the planet -- and it is easy!"

Does your bathroom resemble the bathroom of your childhood? Does it have the same unappeal-

ing colors, cold tile floors and dated decor as the day you bought the house?

If your bathroom is stuck in the '60s, '70s and even '80s, then it's time to up-grade. But don't worry, you can transform it into a modern day showplace on a bud-get. Here are some tips to get you started:

Apply a fresh coat of paint. Nothing cleans up damaged and dingy

walls better than a new color. Because the bathroom is a high-humidity area that is also enclosed, look for paints that are mildew-resistant but don't contain harsh chemicals. Be a little artistic with your painting as well. Find textured paints to create barely-there patterns on the walls, or use two different paint tints to create shading or bold contrasting wall colors.

Update your hardware. Bathroom faucets and accessories have

evolved over the decades, and style is the new design. Today's products are able to match tastes ranging from exquisite vintage to ultra modern so you can trans-

form your out-dated style into something perfect for a guest bath, master bath or children's fun bathroom. Visit Faucet.com to find the right style for you.

Change your lighting. A single light fixture or a worn-out

overhead lamp just doesn't give a bath-room the illumination or style you need. A properly-lit bathroom provides comfort, charm, fashion and function. You may need lights above the sink or wall sconces to illuminate any dark shadows. Find all

Budget-Friendly Bathroom Updates

the latest lighting styles at Lighting-Showplace.com.

Bring comfort into the shower.A new massaging shower head is

vital to making your shower inviting. Ac-company the new fixture with a beautiful curtain and curved shower rod to match

the rest of the room's decor. Look for curtains that do not contain vinyl or PVC materials, because a 2008 study found vinyl curtains contain many toxic chemi-cals which can be released into the air when opened and hung. But don't block out all that new light you just installed. Use a shower curtain that allows light into the tub area.

Warm up the floor.Don't forget the cringe you feel every

time you step onto your cold bathroom floor. If the tile is in good shape, or you don't have the finances to install radi-ant heat throughout the bathroom, try a decorative rug instead to keep your feet warm. You can forget about the old shag carpets with rubber backing. The styles, shapes and colors available are endless, in materials ranging from cotton to wool. Find a theme carpet for your children's bathroom, or a beautiful bouquet of flow-ers to spice up your guest bathroom. To find your style, visit RugShowplace.com.

"You will be better able to enjoy your bathroom once you get it brought into the 21st century," says Daniel Auer from Faucet.com, a leading online retailer of

decorative plumbing products. "And you can find the necessary items for your re-model quickly by shopping online while saving money at the same time."
