Cerritos budget facing $2 million deficit, Cerritos Auto Square sales continue to climb

Artesia Redevelopment Agency makes $542,000 payment to cover state raid of redevelopment fundsPayment will cripple local job creation and economic growth.

By Andrew Perry

On May 10, Artesia’s Redevelop-ment Agency was forced to turn over $541,600 to the Los Angeles County Au-ditor, a required payment resulting from the State’s decision to raid $2.05 billion in local redevelopment funds as part of the 2009-10 State Budget. Instead of go-ing to fund local job creation, economic growth and urban revitalization projects, this money will now be siphoned off to help pay the State’s obligations.

The payment was made in accor-dance with a ruling by Sacramento Su-perior Court Judge Lloyd Connelly last week which instructed local redevelop-ment agencies to abide by the provisions of ABX4-26 passed last year as part of the state budget. The bill allows the state

Facing a $2 million deficit in the 2009-10 budget, City Manager Art Gal-lucci said the city may have to draw on the city reserve to make up the differ-ence.

Speaking before the Cerritos Re-gional Chamber of Commerce at its monthly meeting May 6, Gallucci said, “the City/CRA operating budget this year is approximately $119 million, of which $2 million [property tax] comes from the state. The rest of the budget has to be raised locally.”

He said the proposed operating budget for the new fiscal year begin-ning July 1 is $86,391,380. Overall retail sales in Cerritos declined an estimated $201,142,000 in fiscal year

Cerritos Redevelopment hit by state for $11.8 million causing a delay in Senior Housing Project

CONTINUED ON 11

See ARTESIA

By Jerry Bernstein

City Manager Art Gallucci said con-struction of the 247 senior housing units on the site of the ABC Adminis-tration offices located on the southeast corner of Norwalk Boulevard and 166th Street will be delayed because of the state’s taking $11.8 million of Redevel-opment money from Cerritos.In a report to the City Council at its May 10 meeting, the City Manager said the Superior Court in Sacramento denied the claim by California cities that the taking of the Redevelopment Agency funds was illegal and unconsti-tutional and ruled in favor of the state. He said the cities have appealed the ruling and asked the appellate court for a stay until it can rule on the appeal. The stay was denied but the court did agree to hear the appeal. Cerritos had until May 10 to send the money to Sacramento.He said the city had $22 million set aside in the Redevelopment Agency for the apartments. “Now half of that is gone and I am suggesting to the council that we postpone and delay Cuesta Villas. There are other options because there are numerous other laws that come into play that requires spending

increment on a five-year rotating basis. Asked what happens to the funds if the appeal is successful Gallucci said he didn’t know. He explained the money is supposed to go the state’s school districts, but in reality it will go into the state’s general fund to help balance the state budget which is approxi-mately $20 billion in deficit. An equal amount will then not be subtracted from the funds earmarked for educa-tion.At a meeting of Korean War veterans earlier in the day, Mayor Joseph Cho said in response to a question about the senior housing development, the taking of the funds means the project will have to be postponed for at least a year before work can begin on it. He said there were 330 cities contesting the state taking the money.At the council meeting Councilman Bruce Barrow asked if the city could move forward with the project with the new District Administrative offices on the property the city has purchased on 166th Street, including moving the warehouse and nutrition facilities to a new location fronting on Moore Street

It was Student Government Day at the Hawaiian Gardens city hall May 11 with students from Turner Christian High School getting a look on how city government operates. Their day began with an orientation by Hawaiian Gar-dens City Clerk Sue Underwood, with a welcome by Mayor Victor Farfan and Councilmember Barry Bruce.

[Student] Council members included Michelle Bruce, Mayor, Cristalle Lor-raine Corrales Mayor Pro Tem, and Jesse Robert Daniel, Aaron H. Trimble and Maritza Aracely Villegas council mem-bers.

Taking on the duties of city ha; staff were Katie Nicole, City Administrator; Cindy Garcia, City Clerk; Matthew Jo-seph Guerrero, Asst. City Clerk; Andrea Melissa Prudente, Community Devel-opment Director; Rosa Isabel Delgado, Finance

Director; Roberto Israel Ruiz, Hu-man Services Director; Cristina Verenice Ruiz,

Public Works Superintendent; and Jorge A. Garibay, Sergeant, Lakewood Sheriff’s Department.

At 11 a.m. the mock city council met, with a full agenda. Items discussed included the refurbishing of the Skate-board Park at Clarkdale Park, a citywide residential plan in case of a major cata-strophic event in the city with supplies to provide care for the city residents be-fore federal assistance can be provided. The students also discussed the possible adoption of a law similar to the state of Arizona requiring persons to provide proof of citizenship upon request by law enforcement officers at traffic stops It was also noted the city of Costa Mesa has also adopted a similar practice. The council requested the city attorney and staff to review the feasibility of Hawai-ian Gardens enforcing similar laws.

Pathways’ Honors Volunteers

Every year, the Pathways Board of Directors and Staff hold an event to honor the many wonderful volunteers who do-nate their time to help those in need. This year was extra special for Pathways Vol-unteer Hospice because not only did they just move to a brand new location, but it is also their 25th anniversary.

The Volunteer Appreciation “Garden Party” was held at Pathways’ new home in Lakewood. Many local officials came to the event including Lakewood’s Mayor

Joe Esquivel. We recognized three special volunteers this year who have gone above and beyond the call of duty to help: Lily Nuno (Caregiver Volunteer of the Year), Norene Samuelson (Hospice Volunteer of the Year), and Linda Atkinson (Bereave-ment Volunteer of the Year). Pathways’ congratulates all of the volunteers for the work they do, and thanks everyone who was in attendance on May 1st, 2010.

If volunteering for Pathways Volun-teer Hospice sounds like something you would be interested in doing, we are al-ways looking for new volunteers to add to our special team. Contact our Volunteer Coordinator, Meg Fisch to ask about next month’s training dates.

Councilmember Barry Bruce congratulated the students, saying not only was the event educational but it was also fun. He added, several students told him they were interested in going into government once their education is completed.

John Pizzarelli does the Sinatra songbook at CerritosBy Glen Creason

Sometimes it seems there are as many Sinatra wannabees as there are El-vis impersonators and all of them must know that there was only one chairman and adulation is fine but beware the pos-sible expectation explosions in Old Blue Eyes tributes. In fact there have been a few Sinatra-ites at the Center includ-ing the legend himself (1993) and his own flesh and blood a few times. While Frank was not at his peak in his latter years (and who is) he was the genuine

Re: Court of appeals rules in favor of senior apartments on abc administrative site

Dear Editor:

[Even though the project has been delayed] the opponents feel very pas-sionate about their stance against this project. Because they feel so strongly, nothing will change their minds. I can see clearly that the City adjusted all the negative points, but no amount of adjust-ments will ever satisfy those on the other side. It is not too often that people will admit that they were wrong, when it is an emotional stance.

The changes to pacify the opposition will not change their mind, but it did re-duce the financial benefit to ABC School District and lockout those who can ben-efit from the housing.

Dear Editor:

Had the district reduced staffing (particularly administrative) through at-trition as enrollment declined by 2,500 to 3,000 students over the past 5 to 10 years, it would have more than sufficient funds to repair the roofs and remodel the district office plus have money left over to buy the latest technology for students and to keep teacher salaries at a competi-tive level. Please recall that the district generates a base revenue limit of over $5,000 per student per year, and this represents a loss to the district of over $15,000,000 (that''s million!) Please note that this is per year and doesn''t repre-sent categorical supplements to student funding which brought per year student funding to close to $9,000 per year dur-ing the good times. The district would be generating surpluses and not deficits

had it reduced staffing and other costs as enrollment declined.

It''s ridiculous and hilarious how the Superintendent always pulls out the bucket and baskets used to catch leaking rain water scenario to justify the need for a new district office. He''s been doing this for years and it''s getting a little old. A guy with a doctorate degree should be able to figure out that reduced enrollment is the major cause of reduced revenue and that it costs much less to repair roofs than to pay hundreds of thousands in rent after the project is done. And board members should be able to figure out that there is no "free lunch". The four million the city will pay to renovate comes from where? You guessed it, the taxpayers--the main source of all public funds.

Hoboken, New Jersey article. The rest better be damn good when it comes to holding up the great singer’s banner and waving it in concert. So we come to John Pizzarelli, the affable and music encyclo-pedically knowledgeable guitarist-singer who performed such a Sinatra tribute at the Center on Sunday afternoon. He did so in front of a decent crowd of some folks who probably saw the original a few times. Careful, John!

Pizzarelli navigated this minefield with intelligence, delightful wit, musical aplomb and a fine, middle range baritone that complimented the song writers and became another sweet instrument in the arrangements he chose to represent the repertoire at this terrific show. That is not to leave out the stunningly beautiful sev-en string guitar accompaniment Pizza-relli flavors each tune with in this Sinatra send-up. That guitar never trampled on the full sound of a sixteen piece orches-tra that included the quartet that normal-ly plays with the band leader in smaller venues. An easy-going tone was struck from the first notes of “Come Fly With Me” and continued for a swinging first half of great songs and perfect arrange-ments that were not of the warhorse va-riety. In between extremely smart patter and instructive introductions Pizzarelli completely charmed the audience while polishing gems like “Just the Way You Look Tonight,” “I’ve Got You Under My Skin,” “the Lady is a Tramp,” “They

Can’t Take That Away from Me” and “I Can’t Get Started.” Pizzarelli makes you understand the greatness of Harold Arlen, Johnny Mercer, Cole Porter, and others in the Great American Songbook by playing the songs as written and not trying to American Idol anything. His choice and performance of “I Don’t Know Why I Love You But I Do” was unusual and unusually beautiful in emo-tion and execution.

The second half was more of the great stuff including some pretty solid Sinatra-only songs that Pizzarelli was able to make good on with his low key vocals and fine guitar work. The saloon songs like “One More for the Road,” “Ring a Ding Ding” and Quincy Jones swinging arrangement of “In the Wee Small Hours of the Morning” were purely wonderful but “Witchcraft,” Nice and Easy Does It” “I’ve Got the World on a String” swung sweetly. Again, the lesser known piece stood out, this time “It’s Sunday” that completely mesmerized the appreciative audience. Pizzarelli knows how to enter-tain and there were no slow moments, even in ballads. Maybe the easy wit can be attributed to his role as host on a radio jazz show but when the big band finished with “Last Dance” and an encore of “I Get a Kick Out of You” everyone got up and told the performer they would love to see him back in Cerritos real soon.

Cerritos coach is a true masterBy Larry Caballero

Most children may not know what they want to be when they grow up, but that was never a problem for Jimmy Kim. “My father trained me in hopes that I would become a world class athlete,” said Kim. And he did. He was the first male gold medalist for the U.S. in the sport of Taekwondo when it de-

buted as an exhibition sport at the 1988 Olympic Games in Seoul, Korea.

Taekwondo is a martial art that has evolved by combining many different styles of martial arts that existed in Ko-rea over the last 2,000 years and some styles from countries that surround Korea. Taekwondo incorporates the abrupt linear movements of Karate and the flowing, circular patterns of Kung-fu with native kicking techniques.

Over 50 typically Chinese circu-lar hand movements can be identified in modern Taekwondo. The earliest records of practice date back to about 50 B.C.

Since opening his own training center in 1999, Kim has produced over 70 California state champions, 20 U.S.

national champions, several U.S. Open champions, a junior Pan American champion and junior and senior world bronze medalist in sparring, as well as several U.S. National Poomsae team members. He is also the personal coach of 2008 Olympian Charlotte Craig.

The Korean term “Poomsae” means form or pattern and refers to martial arts forms that are typically used in Korean martial arts such as Taekwondo.

When Kim was appointed to serve as head coach of the 2009 U.S. Na-tional Poomsae Team, USA Taekwondo CEO David Askinas said, “As a former Olympic gold medalist and respected

Taekwondo coach, Jimmy Kim brings a special skill set to this job. He comes from a long family history of service to Taekwondo. His father, Grandmaster Chan Yong Kim, is a well-known figure in the international Taekwondo commu-nity and is a former referee chairman of the World Taekwondo Federation.”

Kim led the U.S. National Poomsae team at the 4th WTF World Taekwondo Poomsae Championships in Cairo, Egypt, in 2009. Last month, Askinas announced the appointment of Kim as program director and head coach of a National Sport Poomsae Program.

More than $5,000 was raised at the one-day event. A total of 44 Silent Auc-tion Items were on display for bidding along with 21 Opportunity Drawings and between 15-20 Chance Drawings that were pulled every 30 minutes.

Some of the more unique/expen-sive items included a full orthodontics treatment (braces), autographed shoes and ball from Yao Ming of the Hous-ton Rockets, a year subscription to DirecTV, and the most popular item was the Nintendo DSi XL game unit that could have been won with just a $1.00 ticket.

As always, the La Palma Kiwanis offered to support the event by its traditional barbeque of hamburgers,

hot dogs and polish sausage prepared with all the trimmings by Kiwanis mem-bers including Mayor Pro-Tem Ralph Rodriguez and Councilmember Larry Herman.

Co-chair to the Auction and parent

Brian Nakamura said, “It was a lot of work, but the support and help from the other parents, teachers and community was amazing. I am proud to be a part of the Luther team.”

2009-10, a 9.6 percent reduction. This is a $2,011,420 reduction in sales tax revenue for the city in 2009-10. On a brighter note, the city ranks #56 out of

537 cities in total sales tax collected with approximately $19 million in 2009. The total combined operating and CRA budget for 2010-11 is $118,108,620.

The City Manager said the Cer-ritos Auto Square, the major source of income for the city, includes 17 dealers and 27 auto franchises. “We are one of the few auto centers in the United States that hasn’t lost a franchise during the current downturn in the economy.” He said the auto mall was averaging more than 1,000 car sales per week. This dropped down to 400 during the past

two years. The good news is the city is seeing a slight increase in the economy. For the past 11 weeks an average of 618 cars per week has been sold. He said this is helping the city, which receives one cent for every dollar collected in sales tax as well as helping employment in the city.

He said, “the downturn in the econ-omy hit the city very hard. We stopped hiring new employees. As people re-tired, we didn’t fill their positions. That alone saved us $3 million. We also cut $8.9 million out of the budget.”

Turning to employment in the city, he said next to dollar income this is the next most important item. Without employment there is no growth. We look very seriously at all our busi-nesses and how we can help them. He cited LaMar-Chrysler/Plymouth as an example. He said for many years LaMar

operated on the corner of 183rd Street and Studebaker. He decided to leave the business. His two franchises were sold to Browning and moved down the street. He said recently the Redevelopment Agency entered into a contract with Lamar Trust to purchase the 4.74-acre parcel at 18201 Studebaker Road, across the street from the Saturn dealership, for $7 million, which will be leased to Kia. It is anticipated this will generate an ad-ditional $18.9 million in revenue to the Agency through the generation of sales tax, rent, tax increment and interest over the 15-year period of the lease.

He said when fully staffed it is anticipated the Kia Dealership will pro-vide 57 jobs that would be lost with the pending closure of the Cerritos Saturn dealership which is currently owned and operated by the proposed operator of the Kia dealership. At the same time this will preserve $3.3 million in annual salary and benefits for the employees amounting to $58,000 annually per em-ployee. There will also be an additional 28 jobs that will immediately be created in order to accommodate the larger fa-cility and broader range of services that the new dealership will provide, with 10 more jobs added within two years of the dealership’s opening.

Turning to the Los Cerritos Center, he said sales for the fiscal year 2009-10 totaled $362 million with an average daily attendance of 22,778. Total at-tendance for the year was 8.2 million, a decrease of 1.3 million from the previ-ous year.

The Center saw the opening of Forever 21, which is the flagship of the chain, providing jobs for 200 employ-ees. Nordstrom opened its new store on May 7 with 400 employees. The Center also celebrated its new wing that in-cludes six in-line shops – True Religion,

MAC Cosmetics, Foreign Exchange, Love Culture, and Carlton Hour & Vision Shoes. This should provide the city with an additional annual increase in sales tax revenue of $360,000, and CRA tax increment revenue of $1.2 million annually.

The Towne Center has a new $35 million office building that will provide 350 new jobs to the city. Its lease will generate $77 million in tax increment to the city and the Redevelopment Agency.

A Personal Umbrella for a Rainy DayBy Brian Hunt, State Farm® Agent

There are so many “rainy days“ that people can experience - a sick child, a broken-down car or a late mortgage payment. But what about a lawsuit? These days lawsuits are being filed, not just against big corporations, but also against people like you and me. Even though your primary insurance policies, such as Auto, Homeowners, etc., may provide sub-stantial liability insurance coverage, it may not be enough. A Personal Liability Umbrella Policy provides additional amounts of liability coverage at an affordable price. A Personal Liability Umbrella Policy provides additional layers of liability coverage over the liability coverage of your underlying policies. Personal umbrella coverage amounts typically begin at one million dollars and can be increased in increments of one million dollars.

Here’s an example of how an umbrella policy could work: Let’s say your car is insured for liability with limits of $250,000 per person. You pull into an intersection, strike another vehicle and severely injure the other driver. This insured person sues you and the judgment against you totals $800,000. Your auto policy will pay the first $250,000 but an umbrella policy would respond for the next $550,000. Also an umbrella policy often insures against some types of losses for which there is no coverage in the underlying policy. Examples of such loss include libel, slander and defama-tion of character. To see if this is a policy that can benefit you, talk to your insurance agent or call Brian Hunt, State Farm Agent at 562.804.9147.

AUHSD Superintendent bound for Capistrano Unified

ANAHEIM--Being a highly skilled and respected instructional leader who can tackle complex challenges, while maintaining positive relationships, led to Dr. Joseph M. Farley’s selection Tues-day as superintendent of the Capistrano Unified School District, say trustees and local educators.

CUSD Board President Anna Bryson said Dr. Farley was selected after a nationwide search for a superintendent who would be an ideal match for the demands of the Capistrano position. Even representatives from the California Teachers Association describe him as a perfect match for the job of helping Capistrano schools move forward.

“Capistrano has hired a marvel-ous superintendent,” said Mr. George Woods, executive director of Teachers United, which provides support to the Anaheim Secondary Teachers Associa-tion and six other local teacher unions.

When he began his tenure in the AUHSD in 2005 as the first superinten-dent to be hired from outside the ranks of the school district, there was a need for decisive leadership. Board president Brian O’Neal said Dr. Farley lived up to his reputation.

“Dr. Farley has provided strong lead-ership over the past five years, during very difficult times,” Mr. O’Neal said. “I know he will continue to be an outstand-ing leader in his new role at Capistrano Unified.”

Looking back on his tenure in the AUHSD, Dr. Farley said he is proud of the many initiatives, programs, and changes that positively influenced the education of students and the develop-ment of certificated and classified staff.

“Dr. Farley, who signed a four year contract, said CUSD trustees agreed that stability in the superintendency will be important for the district, as all Cali-fornia school systems contend with the most difficult financial conditions many have encountered.

Mr. Thomas “Hoagy” Holguin, AUHSD board member, said Dr. Farley worked well with board members to

resolve issues, and “the fact that we worked so well together placed us on the road to success. I'm proud we were able to accomplish so much in such a short time."

Mrs. Joanne Fawley, president of Anaheim Secondary Teachers Associa-tion, worked closely with Dr. Farley to keep the impact of the budget crisis as far away from the classroom as possible. She said his steady, open, and honest leadership created a sense of calm in the face of uncertainty.

Mr. Bill Habermehl, Orange County superintendent of schools, praised Dr. Farley’s collaborative, transparent lead-ership style.

The board will meet on Thursday to discuss procedures for seeking Dr. Far-ley’s replacement. Large school districts like AUHSD typically use professional consultants to help identify top notch school leaders. Dr. Farley will begin his tenure in Capistrano Unified on July 1. CUSD is the second-largest school district in Orange County, with 57 cam-puses and 52,000 students.

to take $2.05 billion in redevelopment funding to use for state obligations. The California Redevelopment Association (CRA) is appealing the Superior Court ruling to the Court of Appeal.

“Taking this funding will stall job creation efforts in Artesia at the worst possible time,” said Artesia’s Mayor Tony Lima. “The money being turned over to fund State obligations was going to be used for local revitalization proj-ects that would have improved our com-munity, created jobs and stimulated our local economy.”

“It’s incredibly narrow-mindedness of Sacramento to reach into the pockets of local redevelopment agencies, one of the state’s strongest job creating engines, at a time when job creation and econom-ic development are desperately needed,” continued Lima, who is also a member of Artesia’s Redevelopment Agency.

Among the specific projects that will be harmed by this state raid include:

• Downtown Revitalization Project• Historic District• Public Works YardCalifornia Redevelopment Asso-

ciation Executive Director John Shirey vowed to fight the Superior Court rul-ing: “We strongly disagree with Judge Connelly’s ruling which effectively says the Legislature has unlimited discretion to redirect local redevelopment funds to any purpose it wishes. Under that logic any state program could be called rede-velopment. The Legislature needs to deal with its budget problems by making hard decisions using its own limited resources not by taking away local government funds.

“Despite this ruling we continue to believe taking local redevelopment funds and using them to fund State obligations is unconstitutional. We have a strong case and feel confident the lower court ruling will be overturned by the Court of Appeal,” said Shirey.

When we complete that we will be coming back to the council for direction. Bar-rows also asked how soon that would be and Gallucci replied several weeks.Work on the apartments themselves would be delayed for another year because of the state taking the $11.8 million that was earmarked for the apartments, which he said the cities with Redevelopment Agencies feel the taking

of the money is both illegal and violates the state constitution.The City Manager also stated even though the money was taken from Cer-ritos, the city still has to build new hous-ing for low to medium income families under state law. All the state has given the cities is an extra year.Mayor Cho commented it was a shame the state has a to try to resolve its budget deficit by taking our moneyConditional Use PermitsIn other business the Council approved two conditional use permits [CUP] requested by CWCA O’Donnell for two properties. The first is a warehouse in an existing industrial building located at 15905, 15931, 16011 and 16107 Commerce Way. The subject property is zoned industrial.Current Planning Manager Robert Lopez said the warehouse was built in 1972 and did not require a CUP at that time. However current code requires one. He said the request was initiated after a business license was requested and it was discovered the property did not have a CUP. Approval of the permit will bring the property into conformance with city code.The second conditional use permit is to permit light industrial warehouse uses in an existing industrial property located at 15927, 16011 and 16005 Distribution Way. Lopez said the request for the CUP was initiated by the applicant who is cur-rently seeking tenants for the vacant building and would like to bring the property into conformance with the city’s municipal code.

“This is an exciting development and opportunity for USAT to develop world class Poomsae athletes from the grass roots level,” said Askinas.

“This program will be a collabora-tive and coordinated effort that will tap into the nationwide resources and con-tributions of masters, coaches, current and former National Team members and U.S. international referees to develop and support world class sport Poomsae athletes for Team USA and to compete at World Championships,” said Kim.

Kim was born in Malasia in 1967 and moved to California in 1971. Even at the age of five, his father began to train him in martial arts techniques. “I had no choice,” said Kim smiling. He graduated from local schools and attended CSULB and Berkeley. He con-sidered being a chiropractor, but soon he aspired to own his own Taekwondo School in Laguna Niguel. Kim is a 6th Dan Black Belt, two of his sisters are Black Belts and his wife is a Golden Belt. He has recently joined his father

as head coach at the Oriental Moo-Doo School in Cerritos at 13345 South Street on the corner of Carmenita and South Street.

The school currently teaches up to 200 active members from ages 3 to 65. “The goals are to develop personal char-acter and physical conditioning,” said Kim’s father, Grandmaster Chan Yong Kim. “We offer in-house tournaments and lots of practice to build a better confidence level.”

At 15 his son broke his ankle, but that did not stop him from wanting to qualify for the World Games and other international events. “I wouldn’t have made him go, but he wanted to con-tinue.”

In five years the Kims believe that there will be several strong Poomsae teams in the United States who will be able to compete on the world stage.

SAN GABRIEL VALLEY LEAGUE BASEBALL

Gahr helped by early Warren difficulties, Faria throws another solid performanceBy Loren Kopff

Like so many pitchers before him who have been successful wearing the blue and gold of Gahr, junior pitcher Jacob Faria has emerged as a big game stopper. Whenever the Gladiators need a win, Far-ia comes through time after time.

Faria was sent to the mound last Fri-day in his 10th start of the season and won his eighth straight game as the Gladiators knocked off the Bears 6-2 to claim the season series 2-1. Gahr (15-10 overall, 6-4 in the San Gabriel Valley League) also caught up with Warren in the league standings and began the final week of the regular season in a three-way tie for second place, two games behind front-running Downey. Faria’s victory was the fifth straight he has totaled following a Gahr loss.

“He’s definitely been a pleasant sur-prise,” said Gahr head coach Gerardo Perez. “He’s matured throughout the course of the season to the point where we can count on him. He’s a great kid; he’s a great teammate.”

Faria escaped a hiccup in the top of the first inning when Warren had runners at first and second. But he struck out Adan Cabrales and through the first three in-nings, had faced two over the minimum. Meanwhile, Warren starter Gene Gonza-lez was making life easier for the Gladi-ators.

On his second pitch of the game, he hit senior first baseman Daniel Lack. On the next pitch, he plunked junior left fielder Josh Palmer and one pitch later, senior second baseman Michael Lugo was safe on a fielder’s choice to load the bases. The fourth pitch Gonzalez would throw was in the dirt and allowed Lack to come home. He then walked senior center fielder Brenton Allen before senior third baseman Marcus Tomlin grounded out, which brought in Palmer.

Two innings later, Lugo led off with

with the package a little bit. In the past the Alpha League hasn’t done all that well and I understand that.”

The strength of the Crusaders this sea-son has come from the doubles’ teams of senior Chris Aalberg and junior Jim Her-rema, juniors Binh Pham and Conner Tien and senior Chris Hunt and sophomore Ty-ler Zak. They took seven of the nine sets from Ontario including a dramatic 6-4 win from Hunt/Zak against Jon Gonzales/Daniel Olmos that put the Crusaders up 9-5 at that time. V.C.’s number three duo, which went 31-5 in league action, rallied from a 4-3 deficit to win the next three games.

Aalberg/Herrema went 55-1 this sea-son while Pham/Tien breezed through league action with a 25-1 mark.

The Jaguars actually tied the match at 5-5 when Feliciano Osuna/Jason Tran beat Hunt/Zak 6-2. But freshman Stephen Kobata, V.C.’s top singles player and ju-nior Lance Lee, the number two singles player, picked up consecutive victories and the Crusaders held on from there. Kobata, who went 20-16 in league action, has been a pleasant surprise to Bras and the rest of the team.

“He’s done a really good job,” Bras said. “Through the second round of league, he kept on knocking off a new person each time. He’s skilled and he’s played a lot but he really hasn’t competed a lot. That’s been kind of a good thing for him. If he stays here for four years, he’s going to get bigger and stronger. This year, he’s become more of a dominant force as he progresses through our system.”

Later in the match, Pham/Tien, the number two pair, led Osuna/Tran 5-1 be-fore dropping the next four games before winning the final two. In fact, that’s how close Ontario’s number one duo came to sweeping the Crusaders.

The match was clinched when junior Amin Ghabbour defeated Missael Arella-no 6-2 to make the score 10-6. Ghabbour

won two of three sets as did Kobata while number two junior Lance Lee won one of his three to round out the scoring.

“I was fortunate in the fact that we had a pretty good core group of players,” Bras said. “They were young two years ago. Part of it too is that we have this little con-tinuity in the program. I’m the first coach who has coached two years in a row in quite a while. Hopefully we’re building something up here.”

Should the Crusaders post the up-set today, they will play in a quarterfinal match on Tuesday.

a double and later came home on another Tomlin groundout. That would be more than enough for Faria, who yielded solo tallies in the fourth and seventh innings, scattered six hits and struck out four. He threw 92 pitches and went the distance for the second time this season.

“Whether we got four or two [runs], I felt we were going to have to play seven innings of focused ball,” Perez said. “We still had to play.”

Lack was hit for the second time lead-ing off the fifth and scored on Lugo’s base hit to center. In the next inning, junior right fielder Alex Newman was safe on an infield single, stole second, move to third on a base hit from senior catcher Alex Hernandez and came home on another wild pitch. Lack then collected the team’s fifth hit, which brought in Hernandez.

“We’re battle tested; we’ve had to come from adversity all year long,” Perez said. “Right now, we’re just taking it one day at a time, watching our growth and seeing how things happen. Hopefully we can play well next week and take care of business and go to the playoffs on a posi-tive note.”

Gahr hosted Paramount this past Tues-day and knocked off the Pirates 6-0 for its 16th overall win and seventh in league ac-tion. Coupled with Warren’s win against Downey, the Gladiators entered their road meeting with Paramount this past Thurs-day one game behind Downey. Another Gahr win plus a Warren win will give the Gladiators a share of the league title. The California Interscholastic Federation-Southern Section playoffs begin on Tues-day with wild card action or Thursday with Division III first round action.

“I do let them know about [winning league] because I feel it’s important to have a sense of tradition of all of the things that have been accomplished from the people before [them],” Perez said. “I keep the focus on today and I keep the fo-cus on what we’re doing.”

OLYMPIC LEAGUE BASEBALL

Valley Christian blanked by Whittier Christian in final home game of seasonBy Loren Kopff

When the calendar turned from April to May, Valley Christian’s baseball team was sitting somewhat pretty in the race for the third and final automatic California In-terscholastic Federation-Southern Section playoff berth from the Olympic League. The Crusaders were in third place and had a bye from league action while Whittier Christian was sitting in fourth place and had the task of playing a home and home series with league-leading Montclair Prep, the second ranked team in Division V.

The Crusaders were hoping that when they faced Whittier Christian in the final week of the regular season, they would need just one win to get into the playoffs, thinking that Montclair Prep would sweep the Heralds. But, it was Whittier Christian which turned the tables on everyone and now, it was V.C. which needed a sweep to reach the playoffs.

Dreams of reaching the playoffs for the first time since 2007 were dashed as the Heralds crushed the Crusaders 10-0 this past Tuesday evening in a game that ended after five innings due to the mercy rule. V.C. fell to 7-18 overall and 3-8 in the circuit with the last game of the season played on May 13. The hosts also lost for the 11th time in the last 13 games.

“We put ourselves in that position,” said V.C. first-year head coach Sean Buller. “As a player and as a coach, I’ve always hated not being able to control our destiny. But I told these guys early on in the year it was going to come down to us having to face Whittier Christian [to get in the playoffs]. It’s unfortunate that they hit the hot streak when they did.”

V.C. had previously defeated the Her-

alds 4-2 back on Mar. 30 as senior Da-vid Hefley pitched a six-hitter complete game. He was sent to the mound in his fi-nal high school home start hoping to have similar results. And it was going his way early as he threw six pitches to his first four batters. But two singles around the first of five errors led to the first run of the game in the top of the second.

Then with one out in the next inning, Grant Escobar singled, stole second and scored on a home run from Steven Kreck-er. It went from bad to worse for Hefley as another error allowed Cameron Stanley to be safe. Hefley would hit George Flynn and give up a run scoring single to Vince Marinacci. Hefley would give up five runs in four innings of work.

“He’s bummed that his final game pitching is going to be that way, but look-ing on paper, he only made a couple of bad pitches,” Buller said. “He had a lot of those guys out on the front foot and he was spotting up. But he’s had some elbow problems and he has been fighting through them.”

Two more errors in the fifth inning led to four more unearned runs as Marinacci crushed a two-run shot and Krecker add-ed a bases-clearing double. But it wasn’t just the defense having a bad outing. The Crusaders were limited to three hits and had a total of four base runners with one getting caught in a pickle in the second inning. Only once did V.C. have a runner reach third, and that came in the bottom of the first when sophomore third base-man Shane Stillwagon doubled and stole third. Junior second baseman Daniel Her-nandez had the other two hits.

“It’s unfortunate these guys can’t make the transition from their batting practice to the game,” Buller said.

The Crusaders will graduate four players of the dozen that were on the 2010 team and Buller is confident it will be much better next season. He was quick to mention that the junior varsity team smacked Whittier Christian 16-5 and he’s already planning for the future.

“I’ve set our summer schedule up to face all of the tough teams around here,” Buller said. “We’re facing a lot of San Ga-briel Valley League teams, Moore League teams, St. John Bosco and St. Paul be-cause my idea is to get up to the level of being the best. These guys just lack in-nings…and the game knowledge.”

CIF DIVISION V TENNIS

Crusaders double trouble for Ontario, venture into unchartered territoryBy Loren Kopff

Baby steps could be one way to de-scribe the Valley Christian boys tennis team in 2010. They could also be referred to as the Rodney Dangerfield of the sport in the California Interscholastic Federa-tion-Southern Section-getting little to no respect.

Either way, the Crusaders advanced to the second round of the playoffs for the first time since 2000 after they knocked off Ontario 12-6 this past Wednesday in a Division V first round match. The Al-pha League champions won their 18th straight match after losing to John Glenn to begin the season. V.C. will now face second ranked and second seeded Arling-ton today. At time of press, the site of the match was not yet determined.

This was V.C.’s ninth playoff match since 2000 and came two seasons after a 4-12 campaign. The Crusaders also won their ninth league championship in school history. So, when head coach Gene Bras saw the bracket and noticed his team wasn’t ranked in the top 10 poll, he wasn’t too surprised.

“Probably we have to do something in CIF to probably gain that respect,” Bras said. “Not just ourselves but probably as a league a little bit too. That kind of goes

FLUORIDATION OF YOUR WATER SUPPLYPark Water Company (Park) will soon put into operation groundwater well fluoridation facilities. If you are a Park

consumer, you will be receiving water that is optimally fluoridated for your dental health. To meet the demands of its customers, Park utilizes a mixture of purchased water and pumped groundwater supplies. Park's purchased water supplies

are already fluoridated by their supplier, the Metropolitan Water District of So Cal. Through funding from First 5 LA Commission, Park installed fluoridation facilities at their groundwater wells. These installations will allow Park to provide

its customers with optimally fluoridated water supply at levels that range from 0.7 to 0.8 parts per million.According to the Dental Health Foundation, California's children experience TWICE the amount of tooth decay as their

counterparts nationwide. One way to address this issue is through fluoridation of the public water supply systems. Fluoride is nature's cavity fighter. Drinking optimally fluoridated water has reduced tooth decay by about 60% in the United States since World War II. Fluoride helps fight cavities by strengthening tooth enamel so teeth become more resistant to decay,

particularly in children prenatal stage through age five. Also, according to the American Dental Association, "Of the thousands of credible scientific studies on fluoridation, none has shown health problems associated with the consumption of

optimally fluoridated water."For more information, please consider the following resources: American Dental Association at 312-440-2500 or www.ada.org/public/topics/fluoride/news.asp, California Department of Public Health at (916) 558-1784 or www.cdph.ca.gov/certlic/

The right of redemption survives the property becoming subject to the power to sell, but it terminates at 5:00 p.m. on the last business day before actual sale of the property by the tax collector.

All information concerning redemp-tion or the initiation of an installment plan of re-demption will be furnished, upon request, by Mark J. Saladino, Los Angeles County Treasurer and Tax Collector, 225 North Hill Street, First Floor, Los Angeles, California 90012.

The amount to redeem, in dollars and cents, is set forth opposite its parcel number. This amount in-cludes all defaulted taxes, penal-ties, and fees that have accrued from the date of tax-default to the date of June 30, 2010.

I certify, under penalty of perjury, that the foregoing is true and cor-rect. Dated this 21 day of April, 2010.
