Cerritos Library hosts 100th Anniversary of International Women’s DayBy Larry Caballero

More than 200 women and guests at-tended Cerritos Library’s 100th Anniver-sary of International Women’s Day Mar. 14, sponsored by the American Associa-tion of University Women (AAUW), So-roptimist International of Artesia-Cerritos and Woman’s Club of Artesia-Cerritos, to hear the real-life stories of famous women from 1911 to the present.

Attendees were encouraged to “see the last century through the eyes of the wom-en who shaped it!”

On March 25, 1911, the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire tragedy occurred when 146 women and children lost their lives after work-ing in sweatshop conditions for $8 per week. After this horrific event, women be-gan to organize and protest in larger numbers.

The women honored during this period were la-bor organizer Rose Schnei-derman portrayed by Tobi Balma, suffragette Alice Paul portrayed by Phibun Ny, and Founder of the Women’s Club Jane Cunningham Croly portrayed by Kathie McGraw.

In the 1920’s, nurse Lillian Wald and Febb Ensminger Burn, the mother of a Tennessee State Congressman who cast the deciding vote that legalized the wom-an’s right to vote, were portrayed by Bar-bara Dunstan and Tammy Cannon.

In the 1930’s, photog-rapher Dorothea Lange and Congresswoman Mary Norton were portrayed by Grancine DeFrance and Thea Siegal. In the 1940’s, photojournalist Dickey Chapelle, First Lady Elea-nor Roosevelt, and Jeanette Rankin-the first woman elected to Congress-were portrayed by Kathy Lovell, Diana Needham and Celia Spitzer.

Civil Rights activist Rosa Parks, portrayed by Brenda Hicks, represented the decade of the 50’s.

O U R CO M M U N I T YCerritos Library Hosts African American Authors Panel

By Larry Caballero

Prominent African American authors discussed their life experiences, ideas and dreams at the Cerritos Library Sky-line Room Mar. 13 as part of the Cerritos Library Meet the Author series to more than a hundred guests who asked ques-tions and later purchased books signed by the authors.

Presented by the 50-member Orange County Chapter of Links, Incorporated in collaboration with the National Black MBA Association, Inc., Los Angeles Chapter and the Cerritos Library, authors in attendance included Daniel Armstrong who motivates and empowers people to make a difference in their lives and the lives of others through his program, Find a Tree.

Inspired by his experience in Ghana, West Africa, Armstrong wrote the moti-

vational book How to Live Your Dreams: Find A Tree and Get Started.

While in Ghana, he met young peo-ple who wanted to teach, but there was no running water or money to fund the

construction of a school. He suggested they find a tree and begin teaching others, and they did. Before long, several groups were started throughout the region.

Armstrong talked about people saying that they have no time for dreams because “they are stuck in the rut of their lives. You need to ask the question—what is my dream and what am I doing about it?”

Author Gary Phillips shared with the attendees that reading was not an option for him since his mother was a librar-ian. “Being out of work so much of the time made it easier for me to think about writing as a career.” He loved mysteries and by growing up in South Central Los Angeles and teaching incarcerated youth, he knew that he would be writing about the “seedy underbelly of Los Angeles through the jaundiced eyes of the African American investigator Ivan Monk.”

Author Flora Brown knew she would be a writer even before she retired from public teaching. Her passion for encour-aging people to make choices that lead to their happiness began when she was a ju-nior high inner city English teacher. Her passion continued to grow deeper as she worked with university students.

“Don’t have someone else steal your joy,” said Brown. “You need to claim it for yourself.” She thought of the title of her first book, Color Your Life Happy: Create the Success, Abundance and Inner Joy You Deserve, after seeing an adver-tisement for crayons in a magazine.

Author Paul Woodring’s background

Attending the 2nd Meet Prominent African American Authors event at the Cerritos Library Skyline Room Mar.13 were (l-r) Author Gary Phillips, Co-Chair Julietta Williams, Author Attica Locke, Chair Joyce Norwood, Arts Facet Chair Shonte’ Fuller, Authors Flora Brown and Paul Woodring.

is in business and technology, so it was only natural for him to write about those fields in his first novel, Inventions. “The hard part about writing the book was to integrate a love story in it that would be believable.”

Panel moderator and author Attica Locke’s experience had been in screen-writing before writing her first widely ac-claimed novel, Black Water Rising. She asked each panelist to share why they be-came writers and what was their motiva-tion to do so.

Brown said, “Every writer has a story to be told, and that is good, but you also need to get your story sold. That can be the hard part.”

Authors Bernard and Shirley Kinsey concluded the event by discussing “What You Didn’t Learn in High School His-tory,” based on the Kinsey Collection Exhibition at the Smithsonian American History Museum.

Spelling Bee at Gahr High School

Gahr hosts their seventh annual spell-ing bee during the month of March. Each student was given the chance to partici-pate in one of two categories based on their level of English class, advanced placement/ honors and college prep. The two winners, one from each category, will receive a cash prize of $50, a trophy, and the student’s name engraved on a perpet-ual trophy that is permanently mounted on the “Wall of Fame” in the Activities Office. A little over 120 students signed up this year, which was narrowed down to 52 after each student was given a pre-liminary test.

On Monday, Mar. 14, students were put through round two, narrowing it down to 5 students: junior Michael Dinh, senior Kevin Griarte, sophomore Melis-sa Magcale, junior Matthew Pavon, and senior Erica Willig. The final round will take place Monday, March 21st

In the College Prep. category, the first round took place on Tuesday, March 15th, narrowing it down to the top 10: freshman Jasmin Arabit, senior Chris Dalao, senior Antonio Del Pozo, senior Aries Johnson, senior Kevin Krause, senior Jazzy Kruce-cynski, junior Justin Marshall, sophomore Jose Pelaez, senior Ryan Vo, and sopho-more Michael Williams. The finalists of this category will be announced after

their second round on Thursday March 17th. With the hard work of Mr. Mario Baca, Ms. Susie Col-ln, Mr. Justin Velez (3 teach-ers who are coordinat ing the event), and Gahr’s hard-working ASB students, the Gladiators’ 7th Annual Spell-ing Bee is sure to one for the books!

The final five include Jasmin Arabit, Chris Dalao, Antonio Del Pozo, Aries Johnson, and Michael Wil-liams.

If your property is valuable and important to you, consider leaving it at home or taking it with you when you exit the vehicle. Remember, law enforcement officers cannot protect you from vehicle burglars. Only you can prevent your own vehicle burglary.

The final GREAT NEWS for the week! There were no vehicle thefts logged for this reporting period. The 2011 weekly average in vehicle thefts is now 2.4.

COUNCIL from page 1

Council Chamber Mar. 16.Addressing a standing room only

audience, Chen said she would continue to work with the council and city staff to bring new businesses to Cerritos and continue to work diligently to safe-guard the City’s financial reserve while maintaining the many public services and programs Cerritos residents have enjoyed over the years.

Chen was elected to the City Council in 2008 to the seat previously occupied by Councilman John Crawley who resigned. She previously served on the City’s Planning Commission, Property Preservation Commission and Community Safety Committee. Chen was re-elected to a full four year term on the City Council in 2009.

On Mar. 8 Bruce W. Barrows and Joseph Cho, Ph.D. were re-elected to the council and former ABC school board member Mark Pulido was elected for the first time to the council. All three were sworn into office during the Council’s annual reorganization meet-ing and mayoral transition on March 16. During the ceremony, Former Mayor Laura Lee was also honored at the meeting for her contributions to the community during her eight years on the City Council.

Mayor Pro Tem Edwards was first elected to the City Council in 2005 and-previously served on the City’s Parks and Recreation Commission and Com-munity Safety Committee. Edwards was re-elected in 2009 and has served one term as mayor.

Councilmember and outgoing mayor Joseph Cho, Ph.D. has served on the Council since 2007. He is an active

carnival rides and information booths. Revenue from ticket sales is estimated at $10,000.

In other business the council ap-proved an exchange of Community De-velopment Block Grant [CDBG] Funds with the cities of La Verne, Malibu, Man-hattan Beach and Rolling Hills Estates in the amount of $356,571 for $248,778.45 of City General Funds. This results a

member of the Cerritos Regional Cham-ber of Commerce and is the founder and a member of the Mid-Cities Korean American Chamber of Commerce.

Councilmember Bruce W. Barrows has served on the Council since 2007. He previously served on the City Coun-cil from 1994 to 2003, and has served three terms as mayor.

First-time Councilmember Mark Pulido has a long history of community involvement, including serving on the ABC Unified School Board from 2001 to 2011. He is currently employed as the District Director for State Senator Alan Lowenthal.

Pulido thanked all his supporters by name for their hard work during the campaign and the many families, in-cluding his own, who volunteered their time. This caused the Supervisor Knabe to quip “No wonder you received more than 5,000 votes, your family numbers 5,000.” This brought a large laugh from the packed chamber, many who were Pulido supporters.

Pulido said he would work hard to merit the voter’s confidence in him and he was there for them. “I am your coun-cilmember,” he stated.

savings of $107,792.55 to Hawaiian Gar-dens.

Hawaiian Gardens Finance Direc-tor David Sung said the city was noti-fied about the possibility of purchasing CDBG funds with general fund monies. By bidding the purchase of the CDBG funds for a price less than one dollar, the city will be able to save money. He said Hawaiian Gardens was able to purchase the funds at 70 cents on the dollar from three cities and 67 cents on the dollars for Rolling Hills Estates.

Sung said the purchases will allow for funding of neighborhood improvement project. He also explained this is fund-ing the other cities received but cannot use. By agreeing to sell it to Hawaiian Gardens, the money they receive will go into their general fund.

The council also approved an amend-ment to ordinance, No. 532. granting Cardinal Pipeline of Denver, Colorado to install and operate an oil pipeline within the city with a requirement of insurance in the amount of $10 million. The amend-ment originally required the company to have insurance of $20 million. However, the city had agreed through the former City Attorney to require insurance in the amount of $10 million. City Attorney Omar Sandoval said for some undeter-mined reason, the previous ordinance did not reflect the insurance requirement.

In 1967 the city granted to Shell Oil Co. a 40-year franchise to construct, operate and maintain a pipeline for the transportation hydroplane substances, commonly known as the Brea Crude Pipeline that the city approved on Oct. 25, 2005. Shell Oil Company transferred the franchise to Cardinal Pipeline. On Feb. 9, 2007 the franchise expired.

The Council also approved a request by the Community Development De-partment authorizing the removal of “in lighting and installation of L.E.D active pedestrian Crossing signs on Norwalk Boulevard at 216 St. The work comes under the Safe Route to School (SRS) grant.

The Council authorized the donation of surplus vehicles and equipment to the city’s sister city of Venustiano, Carranza and the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department Youth Activities League (YAL).

City Administrator Ernesto Marquez said delivery of the vehicles to the sis-ter cities has not been made and YAL has been utilizing one of the vehicles to transport participants to sponsored activ-ities. YAL has requested the donation of the vehicles and will assume liability and maintenance to the vehicle.

City Traffic Engineer C. Hui Lai said the study will cost approximately $55,000 and will be paid out of the Artesia Rede-velopment Funds. Under the agreement the council voted to defer payment based on progress of the work instead of 20 per-cent up front.

The council also approved the acqui-sition of property located at 17202 Albur-tis Ave. in the Heavy Manufacturing and Industrial [M-2] zone. The property will be used as a City Maintenance Yard for the storage of city maintenance vehicles, materials, supplies and other maintenance items.

La Palma School Rocks With Good GradesBy Larry Caballero

La Palma’s Walker Junior High Re-naissance students proved that getting good grades do not just improve your GPA – they rock and roll!

The Renaissance class staged their second production Mar. 11 and honored all the students who received GPAs ranging from a 2.5-4.0.

Jennifer Sasai, teacher and Re-naissance Coordinator commented, “Renaissance rallies are a great way to honor students for their academic suc-cess. I am proud of all the students for their hard work.” More than 630 stu-dents earned more than a 3.0 or higher for their commitment and dedication to their schoolwork.

The show was a rendition of both the movies School of Rock and Alice in Wonderland. The show itself was centered on Alice, one of the protago-nists, who forgot how to the study. Mr. Renaissance – who helped the other students learn to have fun while work-ing hard – and his class had to find a way to help Alice before she flunked out.

Ryan Ramirez, an eighth grade

Renaissance student Emily Nunes enjoyed playing the title role in Walker Junior High’s production of Alice in Wonderland.

CIF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIADIVISION II STATE PLAYOFFS

Gahr makes another fourth quarter comeback, gets the best of Mayfair againBy Loren Kopff

Five days removed from winning the school’s first California Interscholastic Federation-Southern Section champion-ship, the Gahr boys basketball team put on an encore for the ages against the same team it defeated for the Division II-A title. For the third straight game, the Gladiators used a strong fourth quarter to make a rally but this time they needed more, and more.

With 16.6 seconds remaining in dou-ble overtime, junior John Benson scored the game winner, giving the Gladiators a remarkable 78-77 victory in the sec-ond round of the Southern California Division II state playoffs last Thursday night. Gahr never led in the second half, or in the first overtime, but took its first lead in almost 23 minutes when Benson converted a free throw to give the hosts a 72-71 lead. But it’s how Gahr ended regulation and the first overtime that will be talked about for years.

Sophomore Brian Nebo took a pass from senior Davon Potts and sank a game-tying three-pointer from the left corner with 7.5 seconds left in regula-tion. Then Benson scored on his own offensive put back with 10.6 seconds left in the first overtime to tie the game at 71-71. After the game, Gahr first-year

head coach Richard Roper said this was the toughest group he has been around in his 12 years of coaching.

“Both teams are evenly matched and I mean this in all sincerity,” Roper said. “Both of these games could have gone either way. This is a game where nobody lost tonight; someone just had to get beat. I really feel that way. They’re a champi-onship team just like we are. My heart goes out to them. There are no losers to-night.”

On Mar. 5, the Gladiators (26-8) knocked off Mayfair 63-48 by outscoring the Monsoons 23-8 in the fourth quar-ter. In the state playoffs, Gahr owned the fourth quarter, 21-10, after the Monsoons seemingly had the game wrapped up when they led 52-39 in the opening sec-onds of the fourth quarter.

“Our team has been through a lot of adversity and pretty much nothing has been surprising to us,” Potts said. “We’ve been down before but all we have is each other. When we have each other, we know our roles and we know at the end of the game who to give it to and who needs to execute.”

Gahr led throughout the majority of the first half, building as much as an eight-point lead with 5:03 left in the second quarter. But the Suburban League cham-pions went on a 14-5 run to end the half and took their first lead with 20.9 seconds remaining on a pair of free throws from Dion Wright.

Gahr’s shooting then went cold in the third quarter, connecting on four of 14 shots from the field while Mayfair was scoring 22 points. But as was the case in the semifinals against Foothill when Gahr rallied from 13 points down early in the third quarter, the Gladiators made their

comeback much later. After Wright, who led everyone with

36 points, scored 22 seconds into the fourth quarter, Gahr scored nine straight points on a three-pointer from senior Javonte Sales and six free throws. With 1:16 left in regulation, Potts dished a pass to junior Michael Alvarez who knocked down a three-pointer in the right corner. With his team leading by three points and less than 10 seconds left, Wright missed a shot that could have sealed the game. It allowed Nebo to hit the game-tying bas-ket.

Mayfair scored the first nine points of the first overtime but with 1:36 left, Gahr began to make its second comeback. Al-varez was four of five on free throws and Potts was true on his only trifecta. With 22.1 seconds left and down 71-69, Nebo had a steal and Roper called a timeout.

Potts led Gahr with 20 points and was perfect on all 13 free throws. Alvarez had a career-high 17 points with nine rebounds while Sales, who left the game late with a broken foot late in the fourth quarter, added 13 points. Benson (11 points, nine rebounds) and Nebo (10 points, five re-bounds) rounded out the starting five for the Gladiators. The other seven points came from senior Orlando Thompson.

“We just have a lot of heart,” Roper said. “Our seniors don’t want the season to end. Michael Alvarez is a beast. Orlan-do Thompson, not normally in [during] crunch time, stepped in and made some big plays. Brian Nebo, a little off tonight, but then he steps up and makes the game-tying three [in regulation].”

Gahr’s season would come to an end last Saturday night when it lost to San Diego-based Lincoln 83-52. The Hornets are the defending Division II state champs and are ranked eighth in the nation ac-cording to USA Today. Potts scored 21 points in the loss while Alvarez added 11 points.

The Lady Eagles started last season strong, winning six of their first seven games including the Pioneer Tournament. But head coach Armando Sarinana saw his team open the league season with Mayfair and La Mirada in back to back weeks and it went downhill from there.

“I think these girls were very excited coming out of the gates,” Sarinana said. “They did very well, taking the Pioneer Tournament and letting people know that they’re going to be competitive. But when it came down to league, they got the jitters seeing the big names like Mayfair and La Mirada.”

He added that his team got a lot of re-spect from the rest of the league and feels his team can challenge for a playoff spot. He said his goals are to let people know last year wasn’t a fluke and to limit the er-rors.

There weren’t too many hitting stars on this team but Cruz batted .385 and anchors the outfield. She moves from center to left but Sarinana said the entire outfield can be juggled. Ponce is improving but can still give the better hitters of the league some problems with her speed.

“She’s getting stronger; we’ve been doing a lot of conditioning with her, get-ting her legs stronger,” Sarinana said. “So, she has been throwing a little bit harder. We’ve been working on different pitches, to be able to get the movement, not just to stick to a fastball or stick to a certain changeup.”

Seniors Jessica Diaz and Victoria Acosta are two other newcomers.

NORWALK LANCERS (11-16 overall last season, 5-7 in the Suburban League, tied for fourth place)Head coach: Isaac Galvez (first season)Team’s record previous five seasons: 81-54Last time made the playoffs: 2009Key losses: Jordan Ancona, Courtney Fischer, Elizabeth JimenezProjected starting lineup:P-Vanessa Venagas (JR)/Kassandra Caro (SR)C-Crystal Cano (SO)/Samantha Lujan (FR)1B-Martha Camacho (SO)/Cano2B-Viviana Gomez (FR)/Alexis Velazquez (SR)3B-Claudia Torres (SR)/CanoSS-Anai Zarate (SR)/GomezOF-Jasmine Valenzuela (SR)OF-Lorraine Fitzgerald (SR)OF-Jenny Vasquez (FR)

Head coach Isaac Galvez replaces Paulette Gasporra and inherits a team that lost only three players to graduation but also a team that missed the playoffs due to a tiebreaking rule with Cerritos. Now, the Lancers are determined to get back to the playoffs with a mixture of experi-enced players and rookies.

“I’m really excited about being here,” Galvez said. “It’s something that when

the opportunity came up, I had to do it. I’ve been coaching in the community for 10 years. A lot of these girls I’ve known since they were three years old. For me it was an opportunity to come in here and bring the program to what it can be.”

Caro (4-2, two saves last season) and Venegas (7-11) will split the pitching du-ties and for the most part, Cano will catch Caro while up and coming Lujan will plate Venegas. Caro leads all returning players with a .345 average last season. The left side of the infield might be one of the best in the league with power and speed. Last season, the Lancers stole 56 bases Galvez said Gomez can play virtu-ally any position except pitch and he ex-pects his team to finish first or second in the league.

“I know individual players and I still have Marty Fitzgerald and George Duran as my coaches,” Galvez said. “I depend on them a lot on information as far as who we’re going to face and what we need to prepare for. I do know some of the key players from La Mirada and I hear about Cerritos. They had a good offense last year.”

OF-GarciaLately, the pattern at V.C. has been a

head coach for every two seasons as Sny-der is the school’s sixth head coach since 2001. He replaces Rich Avila but his big-gest battle will be getting the team to put behind the graduation of last season’s bat-tery, plus its center fielder.

“We had a great season last year and the year prior, we kind of had a rebuild-ing season,” Snyder said. “We’ve had some excellent seniors graduating who have helped us a lot but we’re trying not to look at that. We look at this team as a younger team with a lot of juniors and sophomores with playoff experience. We like our chances and we think we’ll be competitive this year.”

Goff will now get the majority of time inside the circle while Struiksma has a tall task to replace the shoes of Craig. Goff posted a 2.21 ERA last season and picked

up six victories, most of them early on

in the 2010 campaign. Despite being the

league co-champions, none of the return-

ing players batted over .300. Dupuy and

Garrels are solid on the left side while the

right side is new as Winters spent some

time at third last season.

One of the biggest thrills for a team

which won six of its last seven regular

season games is the return of Oxley, who

has missed the past two and a half sea-

sons due to an injury. As a freshman, she

batted .281 and stole 10 bases but played

in just 10 games as a sophomore.

“She has an excellent bat and has

great speed,” Snyder said. “She’s a base

running threat. She does a lot of things

and she’s going to be real simple for our

offensive attack this year.”

votes, Councilmember Bruce Barrows received 4, 704 votes and Mayor Joseph Cho received 4,682 votes.

Prior to 2011, only five candidates had ever received more than 4,000 votes: Kappe, Paul Bowlen in 2003 with 4,601 votes, Jim Edwards in 2009 with 4,166 votes, Laura Lee in 2007 with 4,134 votes and John Crawley in 2005 with 4,005 votes.

“This year, 4,000 votes were not suf-ficient to win the election,” said Cha. Former Mayor Grace Hu received 4,224 votes, more than all but two candidates in the entire history of Cerritos elections.

“How could four candidates receive more than 4,000 votes in the same elec-tion?” Cha asked. He said that several factors could have contributed to this result, with the chief among them being that this election had a record number of Cerritos voters (10,097) who cast a bal-lot, and consequently, a record number of votes (21,682) were cast.

“Simple math gives an average of 2.15 votes per ballot,” said Cha. Vot-ers could have cast their votes for one, two, or three candidates; however, Cha informed the council that the ballots for Korean voters were inaccurately trans-lated.

“Instead of writing ‘Vote for no more than three candidates’, the Korean in-structions said ‘Vote only three candi-dates’ so Korean voters were misled to believe that they must cast three votes or their ballots would not be counted,” said Cha.

“There is no way to know exactly how many extra votes were cast by Ko-rean voters because of this mistransla-tion, but our estimate is that this caused almost half of the Korean voters, up to 1,800, to vote for three candidates, con-trary to their intention.”

Cha concluded that even if the Kore-an instructions were accurately translat-ed, the ultimate outcome of the election would probably not have changed, but the order of the first, second and third place finishers would likely have changed.

Councilmember Barrows took ex-ception to Cha’s comments and accused Mayor Cho of accusing the interim city clerk of not doing a good job. “The city clerk deserves an apology,” said Bar-rows.

Councilmember Chen said that there was no proof to substantiate Cha’s state-ments. “This is purely your own assess-ment,” said Chen. She reminded Cha that the 32.8% turnout in the election was not the highest in the City’s history, and his interpretation of the election results “had no bearing on the outcome of the election process.”

Mayor Pro-Tem Lee agreed that it was only Cha’s personal assessment and commended the city clerk “for doing a great job.” Councilmember Edwards agreed that Cha was expressing his own opinion and also praised the city clerk. “I believe it’s the voter’s responsibility to be well-informed,” said Edwards.

Mayor Cho agreed with his fellow councilmembers that the city clerk “had nothing to do with the outcome. I am not

blaming the city clerk,” said Cho. Cho believed the responsibility for the faulty ballot translation belonged to the county that hired the company that printed the ballots.

“I do not want this to be a problem in future elections,” said Cho. Once all of the councilmembers had the opportunity to speak, the elections were officially certified.

{ELECTIONS-Con't from page 1}

passage of the tax extensions proposed by the Governor resulting in state fund-ing for education remaining flat . Budget “A” would result in a $3.4 million ABC deficit for the fiscal year 2011-12.

Budget “B” would assume the rejec-tion of the proposed tax extension and funding for education would be reduced by the Proposition 98 amount of $2.3 bil-lion. This would result in an ABC budget deficit of approximately $10 million .

Superintendent Gary Smuts explained passage of the two budgets did not mean there would be immediate cuts. He said the District is required to submit them to the Los Angeles Office of Education this week. He said the figures would change when the Governor made his May bud-get revise, adding they would in all like-lihood change again when a final budget is approved by the legislature.

He said the Board was no stranger to the cuts mandated by failure of the legislature to balance the budget. “We

have done this four times,” he stated, “to the tune of $28 million. “ He said in his many years in education he has never seen such disarray in funding the state’s schools, describing it as catastrophic.

A recent survey shows overwhelming support of tax extensions among Cali-fornians, 59%-39%.

Present at the meeting were union members and management representa-tives united under the banner of “ Coali-tion of United Public School Services “ who declared they were one family and were ready to walk the precincts to ob-tain passage of the tax extension if the legislature puts it on the ballot.

Former School Board member David Montgomery agreed with the Coalition members that they are all one family when it comes to the education of the students. He added now they must bring in the rest of the family to help, the com-munity-at- large.
