Friends of Arts Education Gala a huge successBy Larry Caballero

It was a night to remember at the Cer-ritos Performing Arts Center Apr. 10 for the 17th Annual Friends of Arts Education Gala. Each year the event benefits arts ed-ucation outreach programs. As always, it

was a tremendous success, a n d it’s likely that

more than $70,000 was

raised to sup-port the kids in

ABC and neighbor-ing school dis-

More than 200 guests came to the Center to fi-

Norwalk City Council confirms preferential parkingfor streets near Cerritos CollegeBy Shelley Henderson

At its regular meeting on April 20, the Norwalk City Council approved the first reading of an ordinance to establish a preferential parking zone just off the campus of Cerritos Col-lege.

According to a staff report, City representatives including Mayor Gordon Stefenhagen and City Man-ager Ernie V. Garcia met with Col-lege representatives including Col-lege President Dr. Linda Lacy to discuss the parking problem. College representatives said that approxi-mately 700 new parking spaces will become available as older buildings are demolished over the next few years. The College agreed to a cam-paign to encourage students to park on campus or use public transporta-tion.

Current student and visitor park-ing fees are $35 per semester for the Fall or Spring term. Parking cost $20 for Summer. Daily passes cost $2.00. Short-term parking is available at meters. Because further reading was waived, the ordinance will take ef-fect in 30 days. Tow-away zone signs must be posted before enforcement. Cars towed once enforcement begins will be subject to towing and im-pound fees.

In other business the Council pro-claimed April 2010 as both “Public Schools Month” and “Earthquake

ABC Superintendent Dr. Gary Smuts told the Board of Education at its April 20 meeting that the State Appellate Court has unanimously ruled in favor of the City of Cerritos on the proposed Senior Apartments to be constructed on the site where the District Administrative offices are presently located on the Southwest Corner of Norwalk Boulevard and 166th Street..

He said the court ruled the 247 apart-

ments could be built and did not have to go before the residents in an election as contended by the opponents of the proj-ect, the Cerritos Taxpayers Association. The Court also ruled there was no merit in the contention it was illegal. The. Judgment also affirmed the city could re-cover their costs in the litigation. “It is time to move out of this facility and start

La Palma/Cypress Project Hope fundraiser

The La Palma and Cypress chapters of Project Hope, an organization that helps to feed and clothe the working poor, found a fun way to raise a little money--a bus trip to the Harrahs Casino in San Diego Apr. 21 where 60 supporters enjoyed a day of gambling and spending time with friends. There seems to be a lot of happy faces in this photo, so perhaps there was at least one winner. Shown (l-r) were La Palma City Councilmember Larry Herman, Cerritos residents Bill and Selene Lee, La Palma resident Alice Carrillo, Ulla Herman, Diana Rodriguez and husband and La Palma Mayor Pro-Tem Ralph Rodriguez.

A distinguished school's distinguished guestBy Larry Caballero

Leal Elementary School Principal Laura Makely shrieked with delight when she received a wonderful surprise April 19. During a meeting with ABC Unified School District Super-intendent Gary Smuts to discuss Leal’s recently renewed status as a California Distinguished School, Makely was shocked when Cali-fornia’s Superintendent of Public Instruction, Jack O’Connell, walked into her office to person-ally congratulate her on Leal’s achievement.

Leal Elementary School staff members put many hours into the application process and just weeks ago completed a successful visit from county officials to validate the practices cited in their ap-plication. Each California school applying for the award was asked to spotlight two signature practices that support the State Superintendent’s goal of closing the achievement gap. Leal chose to spotlight two very different signature practices: an interven-tion program for students reading below grade level (RTI) and integration of the Visual and Performing Arts into all areas of the curriculum.

After having worked so hard on the California Distinguished School ap-plication and receiving unofficial word that Leal would receive the award, Mrs. Makely was frustrated and saddened when she discovered that she missed the much anticipated congratulatory

personal phone call from Superintendent O’Connell which came while she was attending a workshop off campus..

Upon learning that one of her staff members, Denise Stabile, an elected member of the Los Angeles County Democratic Party’s Central Committee and a delegate to the state Democratic Convention, might cross paths with the State Superintendent at the Party’s con-vention Apr. 16-18, Mrs. Makely wrote a letter of apology to the Superintendent

to express her dismay over missing the opportunity to speak personally with him.

At the convention, Mrs. Stabile presented Makely's letter to the Superin-tendent's staff and followed up with an impassioned plea to the Superintendent himself to call Principal Makely again. He agreed to call the following Monday.

However, Superintendent O’Connell had a surprise in store for Leal and Prin-

cipal Makely. The next day the Super-intendent and his staff drove to Cerritos to congratulate her in person rather than just making the promised phone call. Makely said “the visit was one of the greatest highlights of my career, second only to receiving my assignment at Leal.”

The State Superintendent was impressed by the school’s outstanding California Standards Test scores and by its designation as a Visual and Perform-

ing Arts Magnet School. Leal’s cur-riculum features high-level academic instruction, careful monitoring of student progress, academic interven-tion and a Visual and Performing Arts program often seen in private schools.

Each Leal student receives specialized instruction in music and dance by professional experts on a weekly basis. The instruction takes place during the school day above and beyond the regular curriculum and features culminating perfor-mances each winter and spring.

Leal’s Arts program is self-sustaining and requires parent fund-raising to continue its quality programming each year. Sadly, this year’s fundraising has been a struggle, leaving the program’s fu-ture in jeopardy. In response to this crisis, Makely and the office staff have raffled off their parking spots to eager parents in an effort to raise

more funds for the Arts program. Remaining fundraisers include a

raffle of Apple computer products, the annual talent show, and a summer academy. Principal Makely invites the community to contact her at 562-865-0209 if they wish to help support the Arts Program that has become an intri-cate part of the Distinguished School's curriculum.

State Superintendent of Public Instruction Jack O’Connell congratulates Leal Elementary School Principal Laura Makely for the school’s renewed sta-tus as a California Distinguished School. They are (l-r) Superintendent O’Connell, teacher Denise Stabile, Leal student Magdalena Chavez, Principal Makely and ABC School Superintendent Gary Smuts.

Easter Seals Act for Autism

A new case of autism is diagnosed every 20 minutes affecting as many as 1 in 110 American children and 1 in 70 boys. It’s the epidemic of our time. What you may not know is that Easter Seals is the largest provider of non-profit services for people with autism in America today. Join Easter Seals dur-ing April for Autism Awareness Month in April and sign the Act for Autism petition at www.EasterSeals.com.

With the incidence of autism grow-ing at such an alarming rate, there is an urgent need for increased funding, ser-vices and support for individuals with autism. If 10,000 new petition signa-tures are made before the end of April, a

national corporate partner has agreed to donate $10,000 to Easter Seals services supporting people living with autism. Help Easter Seals ensure children and adults with autism continue to receive the personalized treatment they need to thrive. Additionally, residents can help people with autism and other disabilities by making a donation to Easter Seals at Long Beach-area Vons and Pavilions grocery stores through April 30th.

Expanding services for teens with autism that age out of the school system is critical, but Easter Seals doesn’t stop there. Easter Seals also offers adults with autism extensive job training, alter-natives to institutionalized living and the opportunity to enjoy and become more independent within their com-munities. Easter Seals personalizes each service to meet the needs of the individ-uals and families living with autism.


crew of seven people traveled across the country in a RV to eradicate hunger and educate people on growing vegetables and the importance of eating healthy.

On the tour with them were garden-ers Mike Travis, who appeared on Oprah for saving a man’s life; Oba Carr, a for-mer welterweight boxing champion who

fought Oscar De La Hoya; an expert gar-dener Trevor Johnson; and two drivers Nate and “Big” Mike.

During the two-week national tour to six states, Zilke-Escalante and Mullen filmed and edited the community garden-ing project documentary and posted short videos on YouTube on a daily basis.

This road movie project gave them a unique, unforgettable experience. “I don't think I felt that sick before in my life,” said Zilke-Escalante of Norwalk. “We drove for three days straight from Detroit to Phoenix to meet a deadline. We were awake while bouncing around, cooking while bouncing around, and sleeping while bouncing around.”

At the same time the internship gave Zilke-Escalante and Mullen an opportu-

nity to apply the skills they learned in the film classes and get hands-on experiences communicating and collaborating within an organization’s “chain of commands.”

The first video of the tour is on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kgys7ULRY84. They are cur-

Cerritos College film students plant seeds of hope while getting trainingBy Aya Abelon

Cerritos College film students Sean Zilke-Escalante and Taylor Mullen got to “grow” their filming skills and help-ing mind this spring from their intern-ship with Urban Farming, a non-profit organization which plants food on un-used land and space to provide food for people in need while educating all on en-vironmentally sustainable system.

Their internship was a project “Ur-ban Farming Tour 2010,” in which the

rently editing two more tour videos at home. Their confidence has also grown from this project. “Now that I have ex-perience down on my resume, I’m ready to go out and look for more filming jobs,” said Zilke-Escalante.

Cerritos College serves southeast-ern Los Angeles County. Communities within the college’s district include Ar-tesia, Bellflower, Cerritos, Downey, Ha-waiian Gardens, La Mirada, Norwalk, and portions of Bell Gardens, Lake-wood, Long Beach, Santa Fe Springs and South Gate. Cerritos College offers degrees and certificates in more than 180 areas of study in nine divisions. Annu-ally, more than 1,200 students success-fully complete their course of studies.

Local Audiologist is in the "Loop"By Larry Caballero

Dr. David DeKriek will always be there to hear you—or at least, he will help you to hear others a lot better, since his main job is to test people’s hearing and to provide hearing aids if they need one. His local business is the Fidelity Hearing Center at 13079 Artesia Blvd., B-104 in Cerritos.

DeKriek is currently an advisor for the Hearing Loss Association of Ameri-ca’s local Long Beach/Lakewood Chap-ter, an organization that supports inform-ing the public on the causes, effects and treatment of hearing loss.

“I love what I do, and it’s a joy to see the smile on my patient’s face when he or she can finally hear all of the sounds around them. For many of them it’s the first time in several years that they can appreciate normal hearing.”

He provides an on-line newsletter entitled Hearing Matters (published by Los Cerritos Community Newspaper) that gives lots of information to inform and educate people about preparing for the time when hearing loss may be a problem. Articles include “Five Things You Must Know Before Buying Hear-ing Aids”, “How to Avoid Costly Mis-takes When Buying a Hearing Aid”, and “What Are Patients’ Most Pressing Con-cerns?”

The newsletter also lists the types of hearing loss, its causes and treatments, and the psychological and social strains of hearing loss.

His office is “ in the loop” with mod-ern technology that allows the hearing impaired to hear sounds perfectly with an Inloop system that transmits the sig-nal through an easily installed wired loop. The signal is picked up by a t-coil, a small coil of wire, inside the hearing aid. The t-coil uses no electricity so it doesn’t affect the battery life of the hear-ing aid.

The In-loop system eliminates back-ground noise and echo by sending the audio signal directly to the hearing aid without extra equipment or devices to connect or put into the ears.

His dream is that someday every public building will provide the Inloop technology to benefit the hearing im-paired everywhere. The City of La Pal-ma recently installed the system in one of its buildings at its Community Center. He hopes the City of Cerritos will follow La Palma’s lead and begin to “get in the loop. It’s a win-win for all the residents since it will improve the quality of life for so many.”

Cerritos Senior Center hosts senior housing workshopBy Larry Caballero

Families have many choices to make when the search for senior housing arises. With so many options, it is im-portant to seek professional assistance in order to make the right choice. One free resource is A Place for Mom, a senior housing referral service.

Eldercare Advisor Shannon Flores from a Place for Mom held a workshop Apr. 15 at the Cerritos Senior Center to discuss the available choices that include Independent Living Communi-

ties, Assisted Living, Nursing Homes and housing options for seniors with dementia or Alzheimer’s.

Independent Living Communities cater to seniors who are very inde-pendent with few medical problems. Residents live in fully equipped private apartments. Cost per month can vary from $1,000 to $3,000 and includes meal plan options, mobility assistance and on-site nurses. Often, residents can choose to pay for a specified number of meals per day. Frequently, there are numerous social outings and events to choose from for entertainment.

Assisted Living Communities are designed for seniors who are no lon-ger able to live on their own safely but do not require the high level of care provided in a nursing home. Assistance

with medications, activities of daily living, meals and housekeeping are routinely provided. Cost per month can vary from $2,500 to $4,000. Three meals a day are provided in a central dining room. Residents live in private apartments that frequently have a lim-ited kitchen area.

Nursing homes provide around-the-clock skilled nursing care for the frail elderly who require a high level of medical care and assistance. Twenty-four hour skilled nursing services are available from licensed nurses. Cost per month can vary from $4,000 to $8,000. Many nursing homes now provide short-term rehabilitative stays for those recovering from an injury, illness or surgery.

With the memory impaired, it is

important to have 24-hour support and structured activities to ensure their safety and quality of life. Many fami-lies try to care for their loved ones at home, which can be extremely difficult given the skill that is required to care for a person with memory problems. Cost per month can vary from $3,000 to $7,000. Alzheimer’s care is delivered in the Assisted Living setting, as well as in Nursing Homes and occasionally in Personal Care Homes.

Whichever senior housing option you may choose for yourself or a loved one, it’s important that you do your homework first and familiarize yourself with the various options available. In many cases, an eldercare advisor can as-sist you in making the right decision.

With him is Sher-iff Station Commander Capt. Joe Gonzales. Making the presentation are Club President Rick Renaker and Program for the Day Chair Tim Coomes. Captain Gonzales told members that there was very little gang related crime in Cerritos. He said the station knows how many gang members live in Cerritos and they are notified on a regular basis they are being watched. He said 86 percent of the crime committed in Cerritos is done by transients.

Chamber MegaMixer held at Cerritos CollegeBy Jerry Bernstein

The Cerritos College Foundation hosted its 14th annual Chamber Mega Mixer Apr. 20 in the College Student Center providing a setting for network-ing and having a good time. This years theme was “Team up with Cerritos Col-lege – Get in the Game” with individual displays featuring the Dodgers, Lakers and Angeles.

Participating chambers included Bellflower, Cerritos, Downey, Lake-wood, La Mirada, Long Beach, Nor-walk, Paramount, Santa Fee Springs and South Gate. Since its inception, the Mega Mixer has grown each year, featuring booths from local businesses along with displays of the college’s award winning programs.

Once again the college Culinary Art Department did itself justice with a display of food waiting to be sampled by the Mega Mixer’s participants. Perhaps the most popular display of the department’s cooking talent was “made to order” crapes, featuring cherry, apple, banana, and other appetizing fillings. A close second was the dessert table.

The Cerritos College Foundation is a non-profit organization that serves as a charitable vehicle for the community, individuals and alumni, and assists with financial support of the college. The Foundation’s address online is www.cerritos.edu/ccf.

The Norwalk Lions Club hosted its annual festival Apr. 15 - at the Norwalk

City Hall Lawn with carnival rides, games, food, and more. The festival was the Lions Club’s biggest fundraiser of the year.

Norwalk residents and neighbors arrived at the carnival to enjoy the vari-ous rides and games for both children and adults. While carnival members operated the rides, President of the Lions Club Anthony Garcia helped oversee the event along with Chairman Frank Napolitano. Lion member Martin Greenidge served selections of barbe-cued food.

The Lions Club focuses on many community projects, such as eyesight services for the needy, and co-sponsors many youth programs and college

scholarships with the City of Norwalk. Without exception, all funds earned at the annual festival go back to the com-munity, particularly giving free eye-

glasses and funding cataract surgeries and cornea transplants.

“Our motto is we serve. We serve the community and every single penny earned goes back to the community,” stated Club President Anthony Gar-cia. “If the weather continues to hold through the festival, we may be able to donate more than 50 pairs of eye-glasses.”

Visitor Joseph Moreno commented, “It’s nice to know that we’re helping the community and having fun at the same time.”

As the end of the 2010 festival drew near, residents look forward to next year’s Norwalk Lions Club Festival.

who rocked the night away singing his greatest hits that included Baby Hold On and Two Tickets To Paradise.

Guests who only wanted to hear the entertainment, and not enjoy the cabaret seating and the elegant dinner, also missed out on the fun of the silent and live auc-tions that showcased a variety of prizes in several categories that included Sports,

Memorabilia, Food and Restaurants and Travel.

Supervisor Don Knabe was the guest auctioneer as bidders vied for jewelry, trips and a treasure chest full of gift cards. Five lucky winners were allowed back-stage after the performance to have a pho-to taken with the Rock star. All proceeds from the concert, dinner and auction ben-efit the Friends of Arts Education.

The Friends collaborate with local school districts, reaching more than 40,000 students, teachers and families each year

Cerritos Crime SummaryApril 12-18, 2010

There were twenty-three Part I felo-ny crimes reported to Cerritos Sheriff’s Station last week, the same amount as the week before. Robberies, residential burglaries, and vehicle thefts were up, but commercial burglaries and vehicle burglaries were down. There were 267 calls for service, down from 271 the previous week. The 2010 weekly aver-age in calls for service is now 295.

Two robberies were investigated. A male teen was walking in the 18000 block of Studebaker Road on Wednes-day April 14 at 4:23 p.m. when two other male teens approached him and demanded his property. After taking his cell phone and MP3 player, the suspects fled. On Sunday April 18 at 2:20 p.m. a female teen was assaulted and robbed by five female teens in the 17700 block of Center Court Drive.

Two residential burglaries and one attempted residential burglary were reported compared to two the week before. Two windows were shattered and used as points of entry. In the attempt, a resident was inside when a six-foot white male suspect in his 20’s and weighing 200-220 lbs tried to open

a bedroom window. The resident yelled at the suspect and he fled the area in a 90’s black Nissan. No loss could be determined in the two completed crimes. The new 2010 weekly average in residential burglaries is 2.2.

Just taking a moment to make sure that all windows and doors are secure before leaving the residence takes away an easy entry point for a burglar. Let’s face it, if a burglar is determined to gain entry, he or she generally will but the harder you make it on them, the better your chances of avoiding victimization.

There were three commercial bur-glaries reported. Five were investigated the week before. Two doors were pried in closed businesses where no loss could be determined. A hotel room was also burglarized where perfume, jeans, a belt, and a watch were alleged to have been taken. The 2010 weekly average in this crime category is 2.8.

Vehicle burglaries dropped from six to two cases last week. A high-volume commercial parking lot was the crime scene in one. One of the vehicles was an SUV. One stereo and sunglasses were reported stolen. The new 2010 weekly average in vehicle burglaries is 6.3.

Vehicle burglary is the most fre-quently reported felony crime in the

City of Cerritos. Thieves will look into your vehicle to see if there is anything worth stealing. If your property is valuable and important to you, consider leaving it at home or taking it with you when you exit the vehicle.

Vehicle thefts rose from three to seven last week. High-volume commer-cial parking lots were the crime scenes in six. Three were Hondas and two were SUVs. A VW and a Ford were also stolen. The 2010 weekly average in vehicle thefts is now 4.9.

The cases last week show that SUVs are also frequently taken and usually stripped of wheels, third row seats, audio and DVD systems, and sometimes even mirrors. We would urge that you use a steering wheel locking device. Based on the variety of vehicles taken each week in addition to Hondas and Toyotas, a sound approach would be to equip your vehicle with a steering wheel locking device regardless of what type it is.

EventsThe next Neighborhood Watch Town Hall

meeting will be held at the Cerritos Senior Center (South Street and Ely Avenue) on Wednesday June 9, 2010, at 7:00 p.m. Those in attendance will be briefed on crime information in the area and learn more about how to better prepare for a natural disaster and better protect themselves from being victimized by crime. We look forward to seeing you there.

through a variety of performances and educational programs.

The chairpersons for the gala were Board of Directors members Marianne Hughlett and Kay Stover. Hughlett thanked everyone for attending the event and said, “Even in these difficult econom-ic times, people still came forward with their wallets to support our efforts to serve the students in our local districts—and we are very appreciative.”


the revenue stream,” he asserted. At the same time he said the project would not cost the taxpayer any money.

Board President Celia Spitzer said the opponents could still appeal to the State Supreme Court. They can ask the court to hear the case, although there is no guarantee the court will do so.

Dr. Smuts noted the present District offices are in need of major repairs. To emphasize his point he noted two waste-baskets located below the podium and said when it rains the roof leaks.

The agreement with Cerritos calls for the city to lease the entire District prop-erty for 55 years. The plan is to build 247 affordable senior apartments, a senior center similar to but smaller to the one on 183rd street, and develop a park im-mediately to the east of the senior center. The development will be called Cuesta Villas. In addition Cerritos has purchased two properties fronting on 166th Street to house the District offices and on Moore Street where the warehouse and nutrition services will be located and which will be remodeled to meet the district needs.

The new District site will have ap-proximately 172 parking spaces and 2.8 acres of land. The warehouse and nutri-

tion services will have 47 parking spac-es.

During the construction period need-ed to build Cuesta Villas, the District will not have to pay rent on the new district offices nor on the warehouse and nutri-tion services building. The city will ren-ovate the two properties on 166th Street for an estimated $4 million before the district moves into the buildings.

At the end of the 55-year lease, all properties and buildings will revert back to the school district. ABC also can pur-chase its new location on 166th Street and Moore Street if it so wishes in the future.

SUBURBAN LEAGUE BASEBALL

Norwalk gets other type of late hit to beat John Glenn, sweeps season seriesBy Loren Kopff

There’s nothing like coming up to bat in the bottom of the seventh inning with two outs and the bases loaded in a tie game, hoping to get that key hit to win the game. But what if you never got a chance to swing the bat or see more than a pitch and still won the game?

That’s what happened to Norwalk se-nior left fielder Juan Camacho last Friday when he was hit by the first pitch he saw from John Glenn sophomore John Lemos in the bottom of the seventh. It allowed freshman pinch runner Anthony Gon-zalez, recently called up to the varsity squad, to score the winning run as the Lancers edged the Eagles 7-6 to complete the weekly season sweep. Norwalk has now evened its Suburban League record through six games with six more to go and kept its city rivals without a league vic-tory through six contests.

While Norwalk improved to 7-11 over-all and crept within two games of third place La Mirada, the Eagles will need a lot of help, both directly and indirectly, for head coach David Cruz to return to the postseason for a third straight season.

“At the beginning of the week, I knew we had to win six of our remaining nine games to make the playoffs,” Cruz said. “If we win six, we’re .500 [overall] re-gardless of what place we come in. Even fifth place at .500 makes playoffs and

that’s the goal we’re shooting for. I really doubt we can come in fourth place now but if we win six of our next seven games, we’re in the playoffs.”

The bottom of the seventh began with senior designated hitter Chris Hernandez getting a base hit to left field. After sopho-more first baseman Jose Sandoval forced him at second, who was then replaced by Gonzalez, senior shortstop Moises Acosta singled to left. An error loaded the bases and following the second out, Camacho was immediately hit by a pitch.

“I told [Cruz] it was a great game and they battled all the way through,” said Norwalk head coach Ruben Velasquez. “They answered every challenge and they were an inch or two away from taking the lead.”

The Eagles (6-11 overall) had a pair of chances to break a 6-6 tie in the final two innings. In the top of the sixth, Lemos was hit by a pitch and advanced to third on a pair of groundouts. But he was left there when junior designated hitter Andy Aguirre flew out to left. In the next inning, senior second baseman Davon Foggie led off with a single to left. Then junior right fielder Juan Rojas and senior Rudy Ville-gas each laid down bunts that were mis-played and just like that, the bases were loaded. Following a strikeout, senior cen-ter fielder Juan Vera tried to put down a bunt but instead it went right to Norwalk sophomore German Vasquez who caught it in the air, then tagged Foggie near third base to complete the double play.

“I wanted to try our chances with the squeeze,” Cruz said. “He is our best bunt-er and he already has had a lot of bunts this season and I thought he was going to get it down and get a run.”

Vera, who is the team’s number one ace on the mound, is also the team’s num-ber one hitter with a .517 batting average

and 30 hits. Next on the team is Lemos, who is hitting at a .328 clip.

The Lancers took a 2-0 lead in the bot-tom of the first when Camacho singled and came home on a triple from junior pitch-er Johnny Lopez, who fouled the fourth pitch he saw off his shin. It would be one of five extra base hits from the Lancers, who house a very spacious outfield with no fence. The Eagles would hit for four extra base hits, all of them triples.

Senior right fielder Jonathan Villa-lpando, who went nine innings to get a 3-2 victory two days earlier, followed up the triple with a double to right field, making it 2-0. But Glenn came back with three runs in the top of the second and one more in the third when Lopez hit Villegas with the bases loaded, allowing Aguirre to score. The Lancers quickly tied the game in their half of the frame with a base hit from Camacho, another triple from Lopez and a single from Villalpando. Those three combined to go for seven for 10, four runs scored and five runs batted in.

“He has tremendous gap to gap pow-er,” Velasquez said of Lopez. “He takes that tremendous cut when he bats; he’s very, very strong for his statue. Both balls he hit were to the right center field gap with absolute authority.”

Both teams would add solo tallies in the fourth and fifth innings and combined for 22 hits whereas when they faced each other on Glenn’s home diamond, the Lanc-ers were held scoreless until the top of the sixth and edged the Eagles 3-2. It was the third straight one-run game for the Lanc-ers and their three league victories have been decided by one run.

Lopez worked into the fourth inning and was replaced by junior Steve Men-doza, who allowed three hits and one run to pick up his fourth victory in five deci-sions. He and Villalpando have all of the

seven Norwalk wins.“Mendoza came in and did a fine job

and kept his poise for the most part,” Ve-lasquez said. “But we also made some plays behind him to get him out of some jams.”

The Lancers began a weekly series with Cerritos this past Wednesday with a home game and will face the Dons on the road today. On Wednesday, the Lancers will be home to Artesia. As for the Eagles, Foggie went three for four while Lemos and Vera each collected a pair of hits. They visited Artesia this past Wednesday and will be home to the Pioneers today before travelling to Bellflower on Wednesday.

“I liked our chances all game long,” Cruz said. “I didn’t feel like we made any mental mistakes or any physical mistakes to give the game away. I just felt like the teams competed hard and got the best out of both teams. The ball just didn’t bounce our way today.”

Cerritos faced with same postseason fate once again, lose to NorwalkBy Loren Kopff

Even though it’s midway through the Suburban League season, this past Wednesday’s meeting between Cerritos and Norwalk could have been the first step to see who claims that fourth and fi-nal automatic playoff berth and who will most likely end up in fifth place. Round

www.loscerritosnews.net COMMUNITY NEWS GROUP • APRIL 23, 2010 13TO ADVERTISE CALL 800-901-7211one went to Norwalk 2-0 and while the Lancers can breathe a little bit easier for the time being, the Lady Dons are feeling a case of déjà vu from nearly a year ago.

It was the second to the final day of the 2009 regular season and Bob Medina had just witnessed his Cerritos team lose to Bellflower 6-2. Knowing his team needed to beat the Buccaneers on the road by at least five runs on the last day of the regu-lar season to clinch fourth place, Cerritos went out and did exactly that. Now, the Lady Dons need to beat Norwalk by at least three runs today at Cerritos to tem-porarily hold the tiebreaker advantage with four more league contests to play.

“The plan is no longer to just beat Norwalk by three runs,” Medina said. “Our plan is to play ball well because if Norwalk is the better team to go to the playoffs, then let Norwalk go to the play-offs. If we are the better team, it will show the next time we play them. If not, then so be it.”

While Cerritos dropped to 2-5 in the circuit, the defending tri-league champion Lancers won their third straight league game after being swept by La Mirada and Bellflower.

“Every season, every year is different and I’ve never underestimated any team,” said Norwalk head coach Paulette Gaspor-ra. “We just play to our ability; play to our talent. This year we’ve had some bumps on the road but I think we’ve adjusted.”

Norwalk sophomore pitcher Vanessa Venegas went through the Cerritos lineup twice with relative ease, allowing only a second inning single to freshman coun-terpart Kaylilani Minami, a fourth inning single to freshman shortstop Erin Clinton and a fifth inning single to sophomore left fielder Jessika Castaneda. Venegas left the game after five innings having thrown 60 pitches and striking out five.

Minami was nearly as stellar, dodging major troubles in the bottom of the first and third innings. The first Norwalk threat

ended when Cerritos sophomore catcher Sarah Smith threw out senior first base-man Courtney Fischer at third for the final out. Smith would then end the third when she caught junior center fielder Lorraine Fitzgerald stealing second.

But the Lancers (8-13 overall) finally broke through Minami and the defense behind her in the fourth when senior third baseman Elizabeth Jimenez singled to center and junior catcher Claudia Torres singled to left. Freshman designated play-er Crystal Cano would then reach first on a fielder’s choice to load the bases and following a strikeout, junior left fielder Jasmine Valenzuela’s groundout brought in Jimenez.

That would be all the Lancers needed as Gasporra brought in junior Cassandra Caro to work the final two frames to earn her second save of the season. She gave up three hits and fanned two batters and escaped a pair of scoring threats.

“That’s kind of why we switch pitch-ers because you hope that as you see them a second and a third time, then they’ll start to get the bat on the ball,” Gasporra said. “[Minami’s] a really good pitcher, so you make those adjustments as hitters.”

Smith led off the top of the sixth with a base hit to center and Caro walked junior right fielder Nikki Rosenberger. Medina then gambled and had Clinton sacrifice both runners instead of having her swing away. The plan backfired because fresh-man first baseman Miki Okazaki forced Smith at third on a fielder’s choice for the second out.

In the last inning, Minami and sopho-more pinch hitter Drianna Drulias each got base hits. But two other batters grounded into a fielder’s choice. The bottom four in the Cerritos lineup, including Drulias, got four of the six hits with Minami getting a pair.

“Norwalk did a good job but when it comes down to it, through the first three innings, we really didn’t play ball,” Me-

dina said. “We come up there after they score and we turn it on; everybody is start-ing to play. Norwalk is a good team and they got the timely hits when they needed them. We didn’t.”

Now, Cerritos (8-10 overall) has its back against the walls again and will need a big win today to stay in the upper half of the league. On Saturday, the Lady Dons will play a pair of games in the Loara Tournament before taking next week off. Once Cerritos resumes league action, it will play La Mirada in a home and home series.

“I’m very happy with this team,” Med-ina said. “They just have to put it together. The little mistakes…we call them fresh-menitis on this team. A freshman drops and easy pop fly and it rolls into a run.”

The Lancers will host Artesia on Wednesday to start its home and home series with the Pioneers and will need to
