Protecting local funds from state raidsCerritos Council endorses ballot initative.

By Jerry Bernstein

The Cerritos City Council unanimously approved a resolu-tion in support of a ballot initia-tive that will prevent the State from raiding local government transportation and public transit funds.

In a report to the council, Assistant City Manager Kathy Matsumoto said over the years California voters have over-whelmingly passed separate ballot measurers to keep local funding sources essential for lo-cal services and prevent the State from raiding local government transit and transportation funds. “Despite this, the State recently passed a budget that borrows and takes approximately $5 billion in city, county, transit, redevelop-ment and special district funds this year. For Cerritos, these costs are estimated to be $14.1 million in redevelopment funds over the next two fiscal years. “

The Resolution is in support of the Local Taxpayer, Public Safety, and Transportation Pro-tection Act of 2010, a ballot mea-sure sponsored by the League of California Cities. If approved by the voters, it will prevent the State from borrowing, raiding or otherwise redirect local govern-ment, transportation and public funds, including:

• Adding new constitu-tional restriction that prohibits the State from taking tax increment funds collected within a redevel-

Cerritos High School Cheerleaders participate in London parade

See FUNDS CON'T ON 7

Carmenita and South - Storm winds knocked down a tree that fell on a car in Cerritos. The vehicle was headed southbound on Carmenita Road and was struck just north of South St. at 1:05 p.m. Tuesday. The tree was blown down from the center median and into traffic. The driver appeared to be out of the vehicle and uninjured. The vehicle appears to have sustained most front-end damage, with the bulk of the tree lying across the open engine hood. A Cerritos Sheriff was pulling up to the scene at the time of the photo.

Editor’s Note: The following is an interview with Cerritos High School Junior and Varsity Cheer-leader Marin Chattong prior to her trip to Great Britain as a member of the United States Cheerleading Team that participated in the New Years London Parade. She and four other Cerritos Cheerleaders were among those selected from throughout the United States to go to London and represent the United States in the Parade. She also kept a journal of her trip to London.

Marin Chattong is a typical high school student. She likes Volley Ball and “I can only be on one varsity team,” she explained. I chose cheerleading. However, I am on the junior varsity vol-leyball team, which is my favor-ite sport.” She said she has been playing volleyball since she was in the third grade.

“I really love where I am,” she exclaimed. I love volleyball and love being a cheerleader. I’ve been on the cheerleading varsity team three years.

This is the first time I’ve been

Four hundred high schools girls from throughout the United States were selected to represent the country in the annual New Year Lon-don Parade. Five were from Cerritos High School. Approximate 70 students were chosen from the Western United States. Twenty of them, including the five Cerritos girls, got together and had their picture including the five Cerritos girls, got together and had their picture including the five Cerritos girls, got together and had their picturtaken with the London Bridge in the background.

chosen to the go London. I’m re-ally excited.

Marin was selected to try out for the cheerleading trip while doing routines. Judges were go-ing around selecting candidates. Once chosen cheerleaders were given a routine to do. You do have time to practice and put your own interpretation on it, and then perform it in front of judges, she said. They then select who will be on the team. She said five girls from Cerritos were chosen to be on the 400-member team and par-ticipate in the New Year Parade in London. She described it as being similar to our Rose Bowl Parade and was televised.

Marin said they were given three uniforms a red jacket, a blue and white jacket that comes with skirt and a long sleeve jacket. I’ve never been in snow before, she said, except for a visit to Big Bear. She thought it might snow while she was in London. Cerri-tos has 11 cheerleaders who per-form at school sport events. “I’ve been to three National Events, she said.

More than 100 residents showed up to the Nov. 16 La Palma Council meeting to share their emotions and concerns after

the tragic death of 16-year-old Sydney Ramirez who was recently struck by a car in a crosswalk at Crescent and Watson Street as she was go-ing to school.

For more than two hours resident after resident walked tearfully to the podium to address their outrage at the cities of La Palma and Cypress for not addressing the traffic safety issues at the intersection sooner so that her life would not have been lost.

Residents said they had complained to both cities for years and yet the problem still exists. “We can’t just walk away and do nothing,” said one resident. “Kids are walking at risk everyday they go to and

Approximately 180 volunteers showed up, including 53 students for lo-cal schools.

Awaiting them was members of the 1st Combat Engineer Battalion Adoption Committee who quickly explained what they had to do. The clock said it was 7:10 p.m. The big recreation room was lined with tables covered with items to be sent the marines. Under the tables were large bags filled with similar items to replace what was above them.

Volunteers were assigned to hand out the items to fellow volunteers. Eighteen items filled the individual bags, which were then closed on the top and put into waiting cartons, which were then taken

Cerritos Council approves Wal-Mart expansionBy Jerry Bernstein

The Cerritos City Council approved the construction of an addition to the Wal-Mart store in the Towne Center at its Nov. 22 meeting.

Approval of the 25,208 sq. ft. addi-tion, which will be an in-house grocery store, was by a 3-1 vote, with Mayor Jo-seph Cho voting no.

Voting in favor of the expansion was Councilmembers Carol Chen, Bruce Bar-rows, and Jim Edwards. Mayor pro tem Laura Lee was out of the country.

The Mayor said there was a lot of written material involved concerning the expansion, and he wanted more time to study it. He was also concerned about Wal-Mart becoming a “Super Store” with the addition of the grocery store and its impact on the other local super-

quartpageAD:Layout 1 10/8/10 4:25 PM Page 1 Cirque's 'Dreams' stirs the imagination

Cirque Dreams’ new show “Illumi-nation” hits the target by mixing music, special effects, theatrics and stunts all into one breath-taking and hilarious show.

The Cerritos Center served as host for the world premiere of the Cirque Dreams’ “Illumination” tour. The show, which last-ed about two hours, took middle-class ev-eryday activities and “reinvented” them. The fun music kept the show going at a fast pace, while the retro scenery and cos-tumes completed the setting.

The first few minutes of this show should not be missed. After a scene of quick, onstage costume changes and dancing, the lights went out and black lights came on. So, everything white on the stage was “illuminated.” The special effects during this segment were astound-ing. This scene reminded me of the group in America’s Got Talent “Fighting Grav-ity”.

Each classic circus act still has its own special touch, thanks to the people at Cirque Dreams. When it came to juggling, the performer took a lot of white balls and actually began to juggle the balls by bouncing them off the drums, while keep-ing it in sync with the background music.

As if this wasn’t enough, the perform-ers brought four audience members on-stage to star in a “movie.” The director, who in this case was a vagabond, was quick and had the entire audience laugh-ing in seconds.

One of the most amazing parts of the show, though, was the performers’ flex-ibility; they maneuvered into complex and painful-looking positions. One of the guys was so double-jointed that he made the audience cringe at the sight of how his body moved.

No matter your age, or what you like, if you have a chance to see this show do not miss it, there will be something in the show for you.

Cerritos College Faculty Senate holds heated discussion on merger of divisionsBy Victor Diaz

“You guys are nothing but a bunch of whiners.”

These were the words uttered by Eng-lish professor Tim Juntilla at the Oct. 26 Faculty Senate meeting directed toward members of the Humanities and Social Sciences Division following a heated discussion.

Discussed was the Cerritos College’s reorganization plan, in which a new dean of student success will be created, lead-ing to the merging of both the Humani-ties and Social Sciences and Business Divisions. This plan will move current

Dean of Humanities and Social Scienc-es Bryan Reece to the new position and leaving Business Division Dean Rachel Mason in charge of the new unified divi-sion.

However, according to Political Sci-ence professor Victor Obasohan, the problem the HSS division has is in the process in which the move was made, not the end product.

“Our division has never been opposed to student success. If this issue was brought to the senate in the first place, if there was no secrecy involved and if there was transparency, we wouldn’t be wasting our time today [Oct. 26],” Oba-sohan said.

Referring to the issue of transpar-ency, Cerritos College President Linda Lacy said, “When I approached both the Business and Humanities/Social Sci-ences Divisions, I approached them and said, ‘Let’s have open dialogue. Do you

have any solutions?’” Lacy said.She went on to say, “This was brought

forward by faculty. They came to me and said, ‘Can you help us implement this plan?’ and I said, ‘Okay.’”

She later mentions that she, along with other faculty members and classi-fied employees, met during the summer and discussed the plan.

History professor Walter Fernandez felt that faculty actually had a minimal role in the decision-making of the plan.

“The tone that was sent by the Presi-dent’s Office in terms of openness was that according to this list of people who were consulted by Lacy, the faculty members are someplace toward the bot-tom,” Fernandez said.

He also mentioned that the way he and his fellow faculty members received word of the plan’s discussion was through an email invitation from Administrative Secretary Cheryl Thury, in which it did not include a chance for faculty to give suggestions.

He said, “We didn’t have the opportu-nity, nor was there an intention, to get us to speak about these things or to get us to discuss these items.”

The moment in the senate meeting that increased the level of conflict came

about when a comment was made by Juntilla, claiming that the discussion of the faculty members’ concerns was a waste of time.

“The process problem that we’re ad-dressing doesn’t seem to be a very pro-ductive time of the senate, “ Juntilla said the senate’s time should be more focused on what he called, “the nuts and bolts” of the plan.

He also said that he felt that the dis-cussion on the process would only lead to more hurt feelings and that he wanted to see the discussion lead into the details of the plan.

Upon hearing Juntilla’s comments, Obasohan rebutted, “When you merge

two divisions, aren’t there some academ-ic concerns from both sides? Does this institution have a responsibility to talk about it?

“We waited for a long time to talk about it, and now some of you pretend to say, ‘We are wasting time, we should move on,’ the process is key!”

Following the meeting, Reece com-pared the style of the discussion to topics he speaks about in his political science classes.

He said, “We often talk in politi-cal science about big policy issues like abortion, the PATRIOT Act or same-sex marriage, and the thing that makes these issues so difficult is that both sides are right. Here we have one of those issues play out.

“We want an open process. This is something that is valued by an academic community like this.”

Cerritos Chinese School hosts annual carnivalBy Larry Caballero

Cerritos Chinese School hosted its 30th Annual Carnival Nov. 13 at Arte-sia High School to raise $3,000 to fund school projects and programs. More than 800 participants enjoyed 15 food booths offering pizza and other ethnic foods, and 22 game booths that included Chopstick Pick-up, TicTacToe, MahJong tiles and other memory games. A talent show of local performers from the com-munity entertained the crowd.

Chinese Culture Association of Southern California (CCASC) President

Tony Chang thanked everyone for at-tending. Chinese School Principal Jen-nifer Hewitt said, “It’s wonderful when everyone comes together to make the Carnival so special. Our teachers, par-ents and volunteers work very hard to be sure that everyone is having a good time.”

CCASC and affiliated Cerritos Chi-nese School were established in 1972 as a non-profit organization. The main mis-sion is to promote the Chinese language and culture in the community. Classes are offered for students of all ages, from preschool to adult conversation classes.

“Once every year, families come to-gether for a fun and fundraising Carni-val with delicious food and entertaining games. The Carnival is open to the com-munity and the admission is free,” said Hewitt. An estimated 800 members of the community attended.

EXPANSIONContinued from page 1

markets. He moved to continue the issue to the council’s next meeting. However, the majority felt their questions had been answered by members of Wal-Mart staff, although Councilmember Chen said if the Towne Center was expanded in the future, she had concerns about the avail-ability of parking.

Approval came after the council unan-imously amended a change in the city’s off-street parking ordinance pertaining to the Towne Center. Seeking the change was Vestar Property Management, which requested the ordinance be revised for retail parking requirements in the Towne Center. The amendment will reduce the parking ratio for retail uses in the Center based on the amount of gross floor area within the development.

In his report to the Council, Direc-tor of Community Development Torrey Contreras said the Center provides more than enough parking to meet the parking needs of customers and employees. If approved off-street parking regulations would be amended in order to allow for future development without resulting in insufficient parking.

It was also noted that according to a recent Environmental Report done by Wal-Mart traffic on Shoemaker Avenue and other streets feeding into the Towne Center would not increase sufficiently to raise traffic noise on the streets. CAJA Environmental Services, LLC, prepared the EIR.Store Expansion

In voting for the expansion council members agreed there was room for an additional grocery store in Cerritos. Chen said there were only two national chains located in the city. She didn’t believe the Wal-Mart store would affect the other

stores since they sell specialized food.Former Mayor Sherman Kappe told

the council he was on that body when plans for a Wal-Mart store were ap-proved. “It was understood the store eventually would expand he said, “and now 18 years later we are here.”

Councilmember Bruce Barrows said he was on the planning commission at the time, and agreed with Kappe. At the time, Wal-Mart was going to be one of two anchors at the Towne Center. The other was Smith’s Market that is now oc-cupied by Kohl’s Department Store.

Councilmember Jim Edwards noted the addition, when completed, would be adding approximately 55 new employees as well as providing additional jobs dur-ing construction. It was also noted that Wal-Mart would be adding a low-profile roof-mounted solar panel system, reduc-ing carbon and other greenhouse gas emissions associated with its operation. The store expects the new solar panel system will provide 29 percent of the electricity required for the store.

Raymond L. Cordova, with South County Labor affiliated with the AFL-CIO, urged the council not to approve the expansion. He said much of Wal-Mart’s items come from China and it is to be expected it will import a lot of its food items from that country, He said he was concerned about that. It imports much of what it sells, including its food products, from China where there is very little oversight. It also affects American jobs. He said Wal-Mart imports from China because the goods are produced at less cost but there is also less regulation.

Cordova said according to the Wash-ington Post, more and more of our food comes from China. Wal-Mart has had to recall “made in China” goods from cat food to baby food.” He accused China of cutting corners in every aspect of food production and charged Wal-Mart with putting profit over consumer safety.

from school,” said another resident.La Palma City Manager Dominic

Lazzaretto said that the cities had recent-ly initiated a traffic study and a recom-mendation to the council should come in 3-4 weeks. That wasn’t good enough for residents.

One resident reminded the City Council and staff that if it were a funding issue, how does it justify the cost for a parade. “Why not for a light?”

La Palma Police Chief Ed Ethell said that in the last 10 years there had been four reports of rear end crashes and three injuries.

One resident said that it was natu-ral for the Council, Police and staff to be defensive, but the problem had been brought to their attention multiple times. “You are here to serve us. It was your child—our child who died that day.”

Another resident presented a petition with 1,700 signatures demanding that ac-tion be taken immediately so there would be no more injuries or deaths. “This problem should have been fixed a long time ago.”

Residents suggested a permanent crossing guard, reducing the speed limit at the intersection and installing a light would help solve the problem.

Retired City Engineer Ismile Noor-baksh said that a signal is warranted and Lazzaretto should be directed to contact the Cypress City Manager. “Hopefully, you can make a decision tonight.” There was a loud approval from the crowd.

Resident Gerard Goedhart said that action could be taken if there was a 2/3 vote by Council to put the item on the agenda.

City Attorney Joel Kuperberg said

that to consider placing a new item on the agenda, the tragedy had to have occurred after the agenda had been finalized.

Resident Robert Carruth addressed the “pain and righteous anger” he heard at the meeting. He reminded Council and staff that the $215,000 cost for per-manent lighting was a small price to pay “to protect the children of our commu-nity.”

He asked them to consider how mon-ey is spent when labor negotiations begin in January. “Since 2005 management salaries have gone up 34% and funding employee pensions has cost the City $8 million.”

Mayor Steve Shanahan sympathized with the concerned residents. “We also feel the loss in the community, and we want La Palma to be a safer place.” He encouraged residents to come to future council meetings and to continue to voice their concerns.

ARCADIA-Norwalk’s first round game in the California Interscholastic Federation-Southern Section Southeast Division playoffs was unlike the previ-ous two opening postseason encounters. The Lancers had outscored their first-round opponents 101-14but passed a major test last Friday night at Arcadia.

Despite a 278-yard passing perfor-mance from Arcadia’s Myles Carr, the Lancers got strong performances from senior wingbacks Billy Moore and Eli-jhaa Penny and escaped with a hard fought 35-27 victory. Norwalk (7-4) will host second ranked La Serna tonight at Excelsior Stadium.

Penny led the Lancers with 132 yards

When the Valley Christian girls basket-ball team advanced to the California In-terscholastic Federation-Southern Sec-tion Division V-AA championship game last season, it brought back memories of when the Lady Crusaders were mak-ing that a habit. Now, with a very expe-rienced squad, the Lady Crusaders are looking for more than just advancing to the finals. The rest of the area teams are just hoping to get past the second round of the playoffs while Artesia brings in yet another new head coach.

3-21 overall last season, 0-12 in the Suburban League, seventh place.Head coach: Lonnie Hinchen (first season)Team’s record past five seasons: 39-84STARTERS LOSTSr. Lyza Escobar (2.5 points per game last season)Alyssa Gasporra (2.9)STARTERS RETURNINGSr. Tehsuan Chao (2.1)Sr. Elaine Young (4.6)Jr. Dana Arrington (5.8)OTHERS RETURNINGJr. Tina HengThe once fearful Artesia program has re-

cently been replaced with a yearly ritual of changing head coaches, double digit losses and a declin-ing lack of talent. Since Scott Roczey was unexpectedly removed with one game remaining in the 2005-2006 sea-son, the Pioneers have had one win-ning campaign and have seen four head coaches including the latest one, Lon-nie Hinchen, who was hired less than two months ago. Hinchen previous-ly ran the Comp-ton Magic girls elite club team and coached the Verbum

CIF-SOUTHERN SECTION SOUTHEAST DIVISION FOOTBALL PLAYOFFS

Norwalk’s defense sets the tone early, Moore, Penny finish off Arcadiaon 28 carries and scored three times while Moore picked up 119 yards on 19 carries with one touchdown. But it was the defense that settled down after the Apaches scored on the opening drive of the game.

“They’re a hell of a football team,” said Norwalk head coach Jesse Cenic-eros. “They’re just very well coached. They executed on both sides of the ball. They have nothing to be ashamed of. I think this was actually good for us be-cause in the regular season, we’ve lost these big games.”

The Apaches capped an 11-play, 80-yard drive when Carr found his favorite target, Taylor Lagace for a 13-yard con-nection. But Arcadia wouldn’t find the end zone again until the final 19 seconds of the half. Meanwhile, it took nearly the first half for Norwalk’s offense to get on track as its first two drives ended on downs and a punt. But with 4:17 left in the half, Penny scored from a yard out to finish a drive in which he gained 29 yards on seven carries.

Two plays later, senior lineman To-lionu Faamatau recovered a fumble off a bad center to quarterback exchange and Penny would take advantage when he broke off several tackles for a 24-yard score with 1:20 left in the half. The Lanc-ers had 124 yards by halftime, all on the ground, and did not have a penalty until the final 30 seconds of the half.

But Carr, who threw 23 touchdowns and only four interceptions in the regular season, passed for 12 more yards than Norwalk’s offense before halftime on 10 of 18 passing. He would complete anoth-er nine in the second half despite losing Lagace to an injury.

“First of all, you can’t allow an athlete like that to sit back there and just throw,” Ceniceros said. “He’s a great athlete but we helped him out a little bit. We didn’t get much of a pass rush on him. He looks like Michael Vick back there.”

Less than three minutes into the sec-ond half, Moore put the Lancers in front with a six-yard run around the left side and were looking for another touchdown when Moore stripped the ball from Shel-don McKinley who fumbled. Junior line-man David Avelar recovered the pigskin but the visitors were forced to punt af-ter gaining seven yards. The punt led to Arcadia’s third touchdown of the night when Carr found John Wong over the middle for a 36-yard strike.

But the Lancers showed they can pass also. First, it was senior quarterback Adrian Diaz finding senior fullback An-dre Thompson for 43 yards down the left sideline. Following a pair of Moore runs, Diaz hooked up with senior Donovan Gumbs for 26 yards as Norwalk took the lead for good with 1:28 left in the third quarter. It was the fifth reception this season for Gumbs with four going for

touchdowns.The Lancers iced the game almost

four minutes into the final stanza when Penny cashed in from two yards out. He has now found the end zone 21 times this season with six games of multiple scores while Moore has 15 touchdowns to his resume.

“We have two great running backs but all of the credit goes to our offensive line,” Ceniceros said. “We have some guys in there who have been three-year starters. It’s fortunate when you have lineman like that and then you have backs like that.”

With 4:51 remaining, McKinley scored on a four-yard run after a fumble but the two-point conversion failed and Norwalk’s defense held the hosts in the final two minutes. Now, Norwalk will face a team which is coming off a 13-10 overtime win against Walnut. La Serna (10-1), though, scored 418 points in the regular season and allowed 118 includ-ing less than eight points in its last six regular season games. La Serna defeated Suburban League champion La Mirada 32-28 on Sept. 23 and has won the past six meetings against Norwalk since 2000.

“They’re a lot like this team; scrap-py guys who come at you100 miles an hour,” Ceniceros said. “They have some good, hard runners, so we’ll see. It will be a good game.”

2010-2011 GIRLS BASKETBALL PREVIEW

Valley Christian’s program back on top, John Glenn, Norwalk keep improvingDei boys team in 2001-2002.“One of the main reasons why I came here was the demographics,” Hinchen said. “I believe there is a tremendous amount of talent in this area. I love the challenge and most definitely I’m aware of what has taken place in the last two to three years. I’m excited to be able to come in and turn the program around and make it one of the top programs in the state.”With a team that consisted of nine play-ers last season, scoring was at a premi-um. The Pioneers averaged 21.3 points a game and never scored more than 56 in any one game. The bright spot is that Artesia returns three starters, including up and coming star Dana Arrington. The junior scored in 22 of the 24 games last season and figures to be the main force in the lineup. Seniors Tehsuan Chao and Elaine Young were the only other players to score in double figures and each did that once. Hinchen says Arrington’s big-gest asset is her confidence and she has “a great touch”.“My approach and getting these girls in shape as the season gets going is my big-gest challenge,” Hinchen said. “I don’t think the talent level is my challenge. I would be very shocked to see those num-bers repeat themselves.”Artesia will have another small team in terms of numbers with seniors Tuki Sau-vao and Leah Wilkes and juniors Mar-janee Brown and Paige Culpepper the newcomers. Wilkes played on varsity as a sophomore and Sauvao, who is left-handed, is “the biggest project” accord-ing to Hinchen. He adds that she may be one of the most outstanding players in the league.“I’m concerned about [the numbers] but at the same time, once we show everyone that we’re winning, winning will bring recruits,” Hinchen said. “More kids will want to participate. People will see that our basketball program is stronger than what they imagined it was.”

Deshields FajardoSince advancing to the semifinals as a third place team from the Suburban League in the 2004-2005 season, the Lady Dons have finished no worse than second place. But this season, head coach Holly Matchett will have probably her biggest challenge. In addition to losing Kristy Kanamoto, her leading scorer, to graduation, another eight players, all of whom would have been seniors, decided not to return due to various reasons.So, the Lady Dons will return just three players. Junior Katey Kanamoto is the lone returning starter while junior Ashley Juarez, who scored 63 points since being called up to the varsity squad prior to the league opener and sophomore Deshields Fajardo are the other returners. This sea-son, Cerritos will not have one senior but will have a pair of freshmen, making this the ninth straight season that Matchett has had at least one freshman on varsi-ty. The rest of the team will be juniors Aprille Hwang, Alyzsa Permalino and Amanda Shimoda, sophomores Tanger-ay Beverly, Nicole Hayashida and Sidnie Whitaker and freshmen Megan Lou and Taylor Scott.

Jr. P.J. KingJr. Angela MosesJr. Alii SaloneThe Gladiators had a squad that had the capability of challenging Lynwood for a San Gabriel Valley League title but fin-ished with a disappointing four league victories. Now, with a solid veteran in senior Symone Brown, a rising star in sophomore Jewelyn Sawyer and an ex-perienced group coming back, the Gladi-ators are hoping for better results.”We did what I thought we would do,” said Gahr head coach Dorogusker. “We were a 50-50 team. There were a lot of holes in the team. I was really disap-pointed last year in the guard play. Our point guard play was absolutely awful. The biggest find last year was Jewelyn Sawyer.”Look for Brown, who signed with Mon-tana State University, to possibly average at least 20 points a game. One of the big-gest changes for the Gladiators will be that just about everyone will be playing a different position. Junior Zaneta Agu will be the new point guard and Doro-gusker added that she will show more leadership than any of the previous point guards Gahr has had. She, along with ju-nior Alii Salone and sophomore Jasmine Gates, a transfer from Carson, will be the other starters along with Brown and Saw-yer. Salone, who missed a good chunk of last season, averaged nearly five points a game in league action. The other new-comers are seniors Alexis Adinofi and junior Sydney Teodoro.“I think we can win near 20 games,” Dorogusker said. “I really believe that. I think we’ll challenge a lot of good teams for several reasons. Nobody is playing the position that they played last year. Symone was a three or a four last year;

she’s playing a two. Zaneta was a sub-stitute; now she’s running the team. Jew-elyn was a five; now she’s playing the three. We have a new set offense and a new set defense.”The Gladiators have reached the second round of the playoffs in three of the past four seasons and have not won 20 games since the 2006-2007 season.

Glenn returned to the playoffs after a two-year absence and had the potential to win a few games but was ousted in the first round. “I would say it was disappointing in that we were so scared when we showed up there because of the crowd that oc-curred,” Parra said. “We still talk about that today. That’s the one thing these kids remember and they’re mad about how much they were taken out of their own game because of the crowd.”

No one averaged double digits in points last season but that could change with se-niors Arlene Gomez, Sharae Moten and Sarai Robles. All three are versatile and have among the most varsity experience out of all of the league players.“They’ve been trained for three years,” Parra said. “That’s what I’ve been saying about those three. From the moment we had them as sophomores, we knew we were going to train them to be guards. That’s what you’ll see this year; we’ll start up to four posts at any given time and you’ll see that our big girls will be playing like guards.”Glenn will have a good mix of veteran players and varsity newcomers with some sisterly love. The two new seniors are Gaby Lucero and Mariam Perez, both fresh from the volleyball team.Junior Victoria Robledo and her younger sister Jasmine, a sophomore, join the team. Sophomores Ashley Perez, Mar-iam’s younger sister and Lizeth Perez, a transfer from Cerritos and freshman Myra Gomez, the younger sibling to Ar-lene Gomez, round out the team. Parra indicated that Myra Gomez “will be something in the future”.This team has the makings of finishing as high as second place but Parra isn’t quite ready to hand the league over to defend-ing champion Mayfair.“I wouldn’t say it’s anyone’s league to win because you see so many ups and downs,” Parra said. “If you have one injury, your team suddenly changes. Mayfair always poses different problems because of their size and the matchups they’re going to be creating.”

Three straight double digit win seasons have erased several years of finishing in sixth and seventh place in the league. Now, the Lancers move on in the post-Alexis Love era. “You’re never satisfied with just going to the playoffs,” Drake said. “We hover around the .500 mark; we’re either one to two games above or one to two games below. But you play the talent that you’re dealt and you work them as hard as you can work them to get more out of them than what would be expected.”With Norwalk poised to play more as a team instead of having individuals play-ing for statistics, Drake said he will have more defensive schemes so that oppo-nents won’t have to settle into any partic-ular offense. He added that for his team to win, his defense has to hold opponents to 40 points or less since the offense may not score a lot.All seven returning players got extensive playing time last season and Drake has seen senior Vanessa Ramirez make the biggest jump of all of them in the off-season.“Her leadership is the biggest thing that jumps out to us right now,” Drake said. “I think Vanessa is going to be worth any-where from six to 12 points a game. But she’s also going to be worth 10 points a game on her passing.”He expects junior Nia Lateju to average anywhere from eight to 12 rebounds a game and six to14 points a game. She and junior Larissa Perez are slated to be the other starters. The biggest new-

comer, who is also the fastest on the team is sophomore Maiya Griffin-McNair, whose parents played Division I bas-ketball. Also new to the team are senior Jazman DeLaRosa, juniors Cyril Marasi-gan and Michelle Pulido and sophomore Cristina Batarse.“This is the first year I’ve felt comfort-able enough to add the number of games that I did in the offseason,” Drake said. “I thought I might lose a few of those kids; their parents would not like their kids gone every night. But not one dis-appeared. I can tell you right now while teams may not be in a whole lot of fear when they watch us come out on the court, the difference will be is that we’ll play really hard and we’ll give you a game and you’ll have to earn it.”If Glenn feels it can get as high as second place, then Drake is comfortable his team can make one more big step and escape the middle of the pack to get to third, or even second place.“I have a lot of people who keep telling me third or fourth,” Drake said. “I’ve seen all but two [league] teams. I’ll just say, right now, for sure we can play for fourth. If we play well, maybe we can go for a higher spot.”

24-8 overall last season, 7-3 in the Olympic League, tied for second place, lost to Serra 66-47 in the Division V-AA finals, lost to The Bishop’s School 79-54 in the Division IV Southern California first round state playoffs.Head coach: Katie Hardeman (third season, 42-20)Team’s record past five seasons: 70-72STARTERS LOSTTaylor Cotton (19.3)STARTERS RETURNINGSr. Jelissa Holder (8.5)Sr. Jamie Perez (8.3)Jr. Kari Korver (19.3)Jr. Savannah MageoOTHERS RETURNINGSr. Athenia SanchezJr. Nia ArcherJr. Kristen Lester (3.1)In two brief seasons, head coach Katie Hardeman has gone from a semifinal

appearance to a spot in the divisional finals. Now, she and her team want to bring home a CIF championship and if this season is anything like last season, then the Lady Crusaders should have their 11th CIF championship in March. Hardeman said this time last season, she wouldn’t have believed her team would go to the finals. Now, she expects to be there.Hardeman states that the guard position will be strong as junior Nia Archer slides into the starting spot that was held by her cousin, Taylor Cotton. Seniors Jelissa Holder and Jamie Perez could give the team three double digit scorers while ju-nior Kristen Lester could be that surprise players if the starters are being heavily contained.“Missing Taylor [Cotton] was a huge part of our team that we lost but we have girls who love each other and we have this great team chemistry that you can’t make up for,” Hardeman said. “They’re just so unselfish and looking for each other at all times. I have been harder on them this year than I have been because as a coach, I’m getting experience as well. I’ve been a little bit more intense and they’ve been responding to that and have been going harder.”But, the focal point of the team will be junior Kari Korver, who has emerged as not only one of the best players in South-ern California, but one of the best to have ever put on a V.C. uniform. She averaged just over 14 points as a freshman and in-creased that by five points last season. It would not be out of the question to see Korver score 22-25 points a game this season.“I still want more,” Hardeman said. “She’s the kind of player who asks me after every practice, ‘what can I do bet-ter?” Showing her maturity, there is always something she can do better. I know teams are going to focus all of their energy on her.”The rest of the team rounds out with ju-niors Savannah Hanson, Ashlyn Lear, Li-anna Tanis and freshman Kenna Mageo.

munity throughout these many years. It serves independently as an “Umbrella” organization helping to coordinate the city’s many events. It is also one of the city’s most active charitable organization donating thousands of dollars each year wherever the need exist.

From there the teams vied against each other from the Marshmallow Challenge to Creativity to an exercise in the History and Legacy of their Club/Organization.

Each year the NCCC strives to pres-ent two monetary awards in a drawing to two outstanding Clubs/Organiza-tions. This year the winners of these two awards went to the Senior Center and the Elks. Patricia Paez of L.U.L.A.C. #3148 won the Opportunity Drawing.

The Event was catered by Ramon Puentes of Rosewoods Family Restau-rant at 14322 Pioneer Blvd. Norwalk. He

The NCCC wishes to recognize and extend a heartfelt ‘Thank You’ to Bill and Mary Ann Clark for their efforts throughout the year and this evening for their ingenuity and originality with the workshop games to make this a most re-markable event.

Soroptimist Women's Opportunity Awards

If you are a female head of household (single/married, primary responsibility of supporting yourself/dependents), attend-ing an undergraduate degree program or a vocational/skills training program and have financial need, you are eligible to apply for a Women's Opportunity Award offered by Soroptomist International of Smith Valley. Women in Artesia/Cerri-tos, LA-OC who meet these criteria can now obtain an application for the Wom-en's Opportunity Award by contacting Sandy Fikse or by e-mailing fikselane@aol.com Applications must be returned to Soroptimist International Artesia Cer-ritos by December 15, 2010. Since 1972, the Soroptimist Women's Opportunity Awards program has aided women who must enter or return to the workforce or upgrade their employment status. Each year, almost $1 million in Women's Op-portunity Awards are granted to women, enabling them to offset any costs.

vices Superintendent Sherre Titus said in her report to the council that out of the 561 students 170 or 30 percent are Cerri-tos residents. She said at the current level of enrollment the $25 class fee generates approximately $14,000 per session.

Titus said since the initial announce-ment the water aerobic classes would no longer be offered after the current ses-sion in December, staff has continued possible options with ABC officials that would ensure the continuation of the classes through June 2011. She said un-der the agreement reached, the class fee will be increased from $25 to $45 begin-ning in January. ABC decided to increase the class fee due to increased overhead costs. At the same time the City has agreed to reduce its pool maintenance fee by $15,000. In return the District will re-duce the gymnasium fee paid by the city for use of school gymnasiums at Whit-ney, Cerritos and Gahr High Schools.

The Council also urged Titus to ex-plore all avenues necessary to keep the program going beyond June with the possibility of the city taking over the program. ABC Superintendent Dr. Gary Smuts has said the State Board of Educa-tion has advised local school districts that their adult education programs should focus more on educational classes and less on enrichment and recreation classes in the future.
