The Artesia Business Asso-ciation took another step forward May 28 when it elected an eight-

member board of Directors.

California school districts are finding it difficult to maintain the quality of

instruction in their classrooms with the financial turmoil in Sacramento and its budget cuts affecting the state’s school dis-tricts. ABC is no exception.

ABC Deputy Superinten-

dent Dr. Mary Sieu said ABC, through prudent budgeting and putting aside money in a “rain-ing day” fund, the district has not had to layoff teachers or cut programs this year. She said the API [state] scores demonstrate this. All of the District schools have moved closer to their goals.

ABC Adult School Class offers a class called Run, Power, and Walk held at Lib-erty Park. On April 30 the class was at the park doing its walking exercise. As the students completed their timed laps Ms. Mac Duff looked at the students to see if there was any type of distress. Everyone looked fine.

Seconds later Dav id Nakamura walked past his teacher and collapsed. She knew immediately he had suffered a heart attack. She instantly called 911, checked his heart rate and as a trained professional with a Master’s of Science Degree in Exercise, Physiology and Ger-ontology she knew exactly what to do.

She asked her student Richard Marti-nez if he could do CPR. Without hesita-tion he answered yes and began chest compression in concert with Ms. MacDuff who performed the breathing portion of

CPR. Another student Robert Vasquez monitored Mr. Nakamura’s vital signs.

They continued this for about six minutes. A complete stranger came to them and took over.until the arrival of the Paramedics. They used a heart defibril-lator to reestablish Mr. Nakamura’s heart rhythm. They told Ms. Mac Duff that she and her students saved Mr. Nakamura’s life.

Mr.Nakamura had quadruple by-pass surgery and is now up and around. He said could not wait to get back to the class. Ms. Mac Duff’s students made it clear that it was their teacher’s leadership that made everything go right on April 30.

Representing Lakewood Regional Medical Center, Patrick Houston present-ed the three of them a free medical screen-ing at the hospital when Mr. Nakamura was taken.

Publishers' RantThe Reality About Newspapers

In the past two years, the newspaper business has faced unprecedented financial challenges. The economic meltdown and advertising recession have hit our industry hard. But make no mistake about this: community newspaper media-print and digital- remain strong and will emerge from the current environment an even stronger multi-platform force.

Here is the reality about newspapers today:Myth: No one reads newspaper anymore.Reality:More than 104 million adults read a print newspaper every day, weekly and alternative newspaper circulation has grown steadily since 1960 to 90 million.Myth: Young people no longer read newspapers.Reality: 61 percent of 18-24 year olds and 25-34 year olds read a newspaper in

OPINION/GUEST COLUMNS/LETTERS TO THE EDITORan average week and 65 percent of them read a newspaper or visited a newspaper website in the past week. If you talk about 50+, the readership skyrockets to 80 percent.Myth: Newspaper readership is tanking.Reality: Average weekday newspaper readership declined a mere 1.8 percent between 2007-2008 and about 7 percent since its peak in 2007. Community newspaper readership has been steady throughout the decline, evidence that good local community news is always welcome and well read.Myth: Many newspapers are going out of business.Reality: Newspapers as individual businesses by and large remain profitable. If you look closely at the current period, the cities where major dailies closed had two competing newspapers (Denver, San Francisco, Seattle, Chicago) the others that have closed or declared bankruptcy either took on too much debt (LA Times) or have non-newspaper personnel running the operation.Myth: Newspaper advertising does not work.Reality: Look at this newspaper, many of the advertisers you see have run in the paper for years. Look at the dailies on Sunday; 20-30 individual inserts in each paper. Google’s own research shows that 56 percent of consumers researched or purchased products they saw in a newspaper. Google also says that newspaper advertising reinforces online ads.Myth: If newspapers close you will still be able to get your news from other sources.Reality: We make a large investment in journalism, both in money and relationships. Most information you read from aggregators and other media originated from newspapers. No amount of effort from local bloggers, non-profit news entities or TV news sources could match the depth of newspaper related content. This is especially true in the community newspaper business.

This is not a portrait of a dying industry. It’s illustrative of transformation. Major newspapers are reinventing themselves

to focus on serving distinct audiences with a variety of products, and delivering those audiences effectively to advertisers across media channels. Community newspapers. like LCCN, are standing tough because we already focus on serving a distinctive audience. Combing the two forces core competencies will see the entire industry into and through this transformation tunnel. It will be interesting to see what is on the other side.

Econo-My-SceneTid Bits Around TownBy Randy Economy

I have a couple things on my mind this week.....

Renaming numbered streets, renaming a park for a civic legend, and a legendary college newspaper lives another year. Are Numbered Street Days Numbered?

I have been thinking a lot about street names lately, and there is something I just don’t get. Before my family moved to Cerritos in 1968 we lived in Gardena on 157th Street. I went to 156th Street School, and every street around us had lots of digits. Our telephone number back then started with the letters “DA.”

The personality of a neighborhood and a community can be shaped by the name of the street you live on.

If you live on a street like 218th Street you think of a street without much panache or personality. 204th Street sounds like a tough place to live. 183rd and 195th and 166th here in Cerritos define our community as being “digitally divided.”

We need to do better, more creative, and I think I have the solution.

There are lots of streets in Pico Rivera, and Norwalk, and Artesia, and Hawaiian Gardens, and Lakewood that have streets names by numbers.

Some of those streets have been in the national and local media lately for being associated with violent street gangs. What if these “numbered” streets changed their names to other “softer,” “kinder,” “happier” and “cozy” sounding places, would street gangs still want to hang out there?

What bad guy would want to be in a gang from a street called “Coco Chanel Drive” or on “Pansy Place?”

208th Street could become “Happy Way” and 214th Place could be named “Serenity Road.” I personally like “Dream Street” for 211th Street. Get my drift.

It’s time for the days of Numbered Streets to be well, numbered.Art Gallucci Park, or Art Park!

Last week I wrote about the lifetime of accomplishments of Cerritos City Manager Art Gallucci. I hope that the community will embrace the idea of renaming Cerritos Park East in honor of Art.

Art Gallucci Park would be a great tribute to the man who has been the driving force in making Southeast Los Angeles County a real jewel. I look forward to having a Member of the Cerritos City Council or the Cerritos Parks and Recreation Commission

interim officers would temporar-ily stay in office until the mem-bers elected new officers. Chet Schwartz, interim attorney for the Association described Pio-neer Boulevard as no longer just being a north-south artery but Artesia’s Main Street. He said when its renovation is completed it will attract more shoppers to the businesses that line the street. Cerritos-Artesia Rotary President Sug Kitahara chaired the meet-ing. He said the purpose of the Association was to promote the member’s businesses as well as have a liaison with city govern-ment and Artesia citizens and with each other.

City Councilman Victor

set the wheels in motion to make this effort possible.Talon Marks Lives Another Year

This is great news. The Talon Marks, the student produced newspaper at Cerritos College for the past 53 years, will remain in business and on the new stands for at least one more year.

Cerritos College administration and the Journalism Department reached a compromise on Wednesday that will keep the class that produces the student newspaper, Journalism 105, in the class catalog for the fall semester. But beware. At least 20 students need to enroll in the class in order for the presses to keep on rolling.

I use to be a former Sports Editor, Associate Editor and Executive Editor of the TM from 1979-1981. The experience was one of the most valuable I have EVER had in my lifetime. Back then, we use to have upwards of 60 people on the Talon Marks staff, and another 20 or so where shut out due to “maximum” participation.

The Talon Marks is one of the most honored Community College Newspapers in both California and America, and being part of a weekly college newspaper hones your “life skills” beyond comprehension.

College newspapers are still a vital source of information for the People and are the “training” grounds for future Woodward and Bernstein’s.

At Cal State University Long Beach, at least four Daily or Bi-Weekly student publications are produced each and every week.

A Free and Just Society needs the “Fourth Estate.”

Thank goodness the Voice of Cerritos College will live another year.

Thanks to Good Samaritan

I want to thank the person who found the contributions for the “Relay for Life” held recently at Gahr High School. I left it on the table at a restaurant I frequent regularly. Another patron found it and turned it into a restaurant employee. She kept it until I went there Monday morning.

Again, I want to thank the unknown person who found it for turning it in.

ArtesiaContinued from page 1

Manalo welcomed the new organization, commending Mayor Pro Tem Tony Lima and members of the Cerritos-Artesia Rotary Club for taking the time and doing the legwork necessary to the Association organized. “Our council wants to ensure you that the Association will have a voice on what is going on in the city.

Mayor Pro Tem Tony Lima told the group a few years ago Artesia had a very strong Chamber. Since the demise of the Chamber communication between the city’s business com-munity and the City has disap-peared. He said the city would like to see this communication revived. “New businesses com-ing into Artesia have a difficult time getting started. “The Asso-ciation can rectify that by having open houses, mixers and events where members of the business community can network and meet each other.”

La Palma Dedicates Community Commemorative AreaBy Larry Caballero

The La Palma City Council approved the establishment of a Community Com-memorative Area along with selection cri-teria for recognizing and commemorating past and future volunteers who, according to the council, “ have unselfishly con-tributed to the City, and who have made tangible contributions by creating and enhancing a strong sense of community which transcends time.”

Honorees will be remembered with an engraved paving stone noting the indi-vidual’s name and pertinent information. The City honored its first recipient, Duane Schuster, on June 2. More than 80 family members and friends attended the event at the flagpole by the Civic Center.

Schuster was a former Mayor and Councilmember, President and member of the La Palma Neighborhood Watch, member of numerous service organiza-tions and the recipient of the Cypress College Americana Award. He died last year at age 77.

La Palma Community Development Director Jan Hobson said that this honor bestowed to Schuster was for “his giving of his time and for getting things done.” She thanked the family for “sharing him with us.”

Mayor Mark Waldman called La Pal-ma “a closely knit community thanks to our volunteers. Duane inspired so many of us, and we hope that this ceremony today will inspire future volunteers once they learn of his many accomplishments.”

Schuster’s daughter said that her father never talked about his contributions to the city—“he just did it. He was always a part of something.”

Community leaders are confident that there will be many more ceremonies to

come since “the City is blessed to have so many enthusiastic volunteers who give of their time and talents,” said La Palma City Councilmember Larry Herman.

Chris Botti Sends Off Cerritos Season in StyleBy Glen Creason

You might think Chris Botti is too per-fect since he is handsome, witty, extremely talented and one of the most successful Jazz artists alive. Well, some might argue about his sort of hybrid-genre jazz/pop/classical/smooth/new age approach but the jammed hall at Cerritos certainly was in full agreement on Saturday night that his show was probably the season’s best. Botti has so much going for him that he kind of started fifty yards ahead of the pack. His band is superb, lead by pianist Billy Childs, guitarist Mark Whitfield and one of the best drummers you will ever see in Billy Kilson. He had marvelous guest stars including the dazzling violinist Lucia Mi-carelli and vocalist Sy Smith who not only brought great talent but a feast of feminine pulchritude to the Cerritos stage. Then again, judging from the preponderance of lovely ladies in the crowd on this night I would guess that not all of them were there to just hear the trumpeter.

That is not to diminish the music which was really sweet and strong from the sur-prising opening notes of “Ave Maria” to the languid beauty of “One for My Baby” that eased the delighted crowd into the night. In between there were enough high-points to fill a high-lights reel and several fevered standing ovations that spoke for the opin-ion of the assembled about Botti’s perfor-mance. The trumpeter is no mere showman but a polished musician with skills beyond

the smooth guys he might get lumped with because of big sales. “When I Fall in Love” was at first silky-smooth and then broke off into an improvisational journey with Billy Childs taking it to lands unforeseen that made it clear that this was no noodling concert. “Caruso” did cause some romantic swoons but the tribute to Miles David in “Flamenco Sketches” was real good jazz that gave solos to Whitfield and Botti that would have stood up to any be bop snob in the house. Botti’s reading of the first of two fine Leonard Cohen compositions “Halle-lujah” just changed the temperature of the blood and vocalist Sy Smith’s “the Look of Love” proved that pop does not have to be mundane. Yet the wise Mister Botti saved the wondrous violinist Lucian Mi-carelli for last with “Emmanuel” that put the crowd on its feet cheering at the emo-tion drenched conclusion. Like Chris Botti she is so accomplished with her instrument she can literally make the melody pulsate with emotion.

The second half was nothing but better. After Sy Smith sang like a nightingale on “What’ll I Do,” the instrumentalist Chris Botti once again chose a Leonard Cohen song and just nailed “A Thousand Kisses Deep.” “Streets Ahead” opened the flood-gates for assorted sizzling solos and got the joint jumping but the breathtaking “Cinema Paradiso” again with Lucia Micarelli was the best of the best, gaining the duet anoth-er hall-full of standees. The show jumped on to other peaks however, especially an unreal drum solo by Billy Kilson on “In-dian Summer” and the final deluxe notes of Chris Botti’s salute to the saloon song singing Sinatra with “One for My Baby” that once more sent the elated crowd to one more standing O.

The Hawaiian Gardens City Council took another step toward replacing the C. Robert Lee Gymnasium roof

by appropriating an additional $177,232 to the General Fund for the project.

In a report to the Council, City Ad-ministrator Ernesto Marquez said addi-tional Community Development Block Grant [CDBG] funds had recently been approved to cities under the American

Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 with the city receiving $72,768 as apart of the 2008-09 CDBG program.

He said the existing roof leaks and has been determined to be in poor condition. Total cost of replacing the roof is estimat-ed at $250,000 . This includes the CDBG funds of $72,768 and $177,232 budgeted with City General funds.

Former Stower PTA Treasurer Charged with Stealing $119,727 By Jerry Bernstein

A former treasurer of the Stowers Elementary School PTA [Parent Teachers Association] accused of stealing $119,727 in PTA funds turned herself in at the Los Angeles County Sheriffs Station in Cer-ritos May 29.

Counsel accompanied Alicia Phil-lips, 34, a mother of three, at the time of her arrest. The woman was transferred to the Lakewood Sheriff Station, charged with one count of felony grand theft by embezzlement. Bail was originally set at $150,000 but was later eliminated with Phillips released on her own recogni-zance. Lt. Charles Aquirre of the Cerritos Station said she now faces a preliminary hearing in Superior Court. No date for the hearing has been announced.

Phillips is accused of taking the money over a three-year period from July 2005 to September 2006. She resigned from the PTA in October after board members noticed funds were missing. Following the initial investigation, she moved from Cerritos to Brea.

ABC Deputy Superintendent Dr. Mary Sieu said PTA’s operate independently of the school district. However, the District worked with the PTA and its insurance company to recover about $15,000.

Dr. Sieu said once the money was discovered missing and working in col-laboration with the District PTA Council Board and its President Louse Dodson on how to avoid this from happening in the future. we helped the Council to provide training and install financial controls to guard against future theft,” she said, adding that more than one signature is now required before any money can be withdrawn from an account.

She described the alleged theft a learn-ing experience.

“I’m glad this is coming to some clo-sure for Stowers. It is unfortunate for the school and community,” She stated.

Dreaming of traveling to your favorite tropical destination? Are you, like many, skipping your vacation due to the current economic recession? Don't worry. Cre-ative homeowners are bringing the idea of travel into their home by incorporating exotic decor that provides the feeling of a travel retreat.

According to a recent "Vacationing at Home" survey by Febreze and Harris Interactive, 75 percent of people would like to travel to an exotic destination around the world, but cannot afford to in the current economy. Furthermore, 84 percent of people feel that staying at home is a great way to relax.

This is why so many people are choos-ing a "staycation," where they spend time at home instead of traveling. The stayca-tion idea has inspired a new trend in home decorating and design: tropical home decor. Inspiration for the trend springs di-rectly from pleasant past vacation memo-ries -- simply open up your photo album and reminisce about your trip to Hawaii or Brazil.

Transforming your favorite room so it

has the essence of your special travel spot is easier and more affordable than you think. Here are some tips for achieving today's most popular decor trend:

1) Incorporate exotic color schemes.

Think of three colors that represent your favorite travel destination. Many tropical destinations decorate with blues, tans, pinks and greens to represent the ocean, sandy beaches, and vivid plant life. Add splashes of these colors to your room and you'll find it transformed almost instantly.

Paint is one of the easiest and most affordable ways to update a room. Go traditional and paint all the walls, or try something new like splitting the wall in half horizontally and paint two different colors. If you want just a touch of color, try painting just one wall for a colorful focal point.

2) Take a scent getaway.The power of scent can conjure memo-

ries from our past travels. Febreze's new Destinations Collection allows homeown-ers to give their house the essence of

a tropical vacation through three great scents: Hawaiian Aloha, Brazilian Carni-val and Moroccan Bazaar.

"People have the capacity to connect a fragrance with a specific moment in time," says noted scent expert and author Dr. Rachel Herz. "For example, lighting a Hawaiian Aloha Candle in the home will help evoke a memory of sitting on a beach in Maui. This is because the sense of smell is directly linked to memory processors in the brain, which create an emotional and behavioral response."

3) Accessorize for an authentic feel.Whether it's the blanket you bought

in Mexico or one you bought at the store down the street, fun accessories can give a room exotic flare. Try adding a throw or a new pillow to transform your existing couch or chair. Paintings of the beach or a beautiful sunset also add to the feeling of the tropics. Finally, add some plant life into the mix. For example, a green fern by the window or a vase of flowers on the table can help the room appear vibrant no matter what the season.

4) Add favorite photos.Choose a few favorite photos and

place in tropical inspired frames -- wood and bamboo are good options. Sprinkle these around the room for a personal touch that will serve as a reminder of your travels and the good memories you had with your friends and family.

Your newly redecorated room will serve as a temporary retreat from the stress of every day life. Use all your senses to experience a moment of escape in your very own home. For more infor-mation visit www.Febreze.com

definitely a good feeling,” said Cerritos first-year head coach Chris Chutikorn. “[Former head] Coach [Jim] Chapel has done an excellent job coaching the team as a team [in the past]. But I think with this year, I’m really proud in the fact that I was able to coach the kids in terms of be-ing mentally tough and I think it showed in this last match.”

The tone was set immediately when sophomore Pilki Min, the team’s number one singles player, defeated Jake Michaels 6-1 after losing the first game. It would be the only game he would lose as he later defeated Chris Lavery and Benito Romero by identical 6-0 scores. Last season, Min collected the only two victories in singles action.

“It feels amazing that we won our sec-ond title,” Min said. “It’s a huge accom-plishment for us. After we saw the [semifi-nal] score against Cate, we were scared and we knew we had to work even harder.”

The number two singles player, sopho-more Ganesh Alagappan, also swept his three sets, defeating Michaels and Lavery by 6-3 results and Romero 6-4. The clinch-ing set came when Alagappan beat Mi-chaels, which made the score 10-1 as rain drops were beginning to fall.

However, one of the brightest moments against the sixth ranked Breakers came when sophomore Roy Yoon bounced back from a 6-2 loss to Romero and knocked off Lavery 6-4 to put the Dons up 8-1 at that point. Chutikorn said that Yoon had struggled throughout the season keeping up with Min and Alagappan.

“It’s tough to play that number three singles position,” Chutikorn said. “It’s al-most like no one really cares about it but we all care. He deserves [the win over La-very].”

While the Dons may have lost 49 games in the regular season, they lost 22 games in the playoffs and had to survive a tough semifinal match against Sage Hill. The fi-nal score was 9-9 but Cerritos advanced to the finals on the strength of games won

CIF MASTERS MEETArtesia’s Craver, Relay Teams, Gahr’s Bradley Advance To State PreliminariesBy Loren Kopff

Gahr senior Aaron Bradley didn’t have to wait too long in last Friday’s California Interscholastic Federation-Southern Sec-tion Masters Meet to qualify for the state preliminaries. Neither did Artesia sopho-more Jalen Craver, although both are ad-vancing by way of different paths.

Bradley, the runner-up in the Division III finals the previous week, jumped 23 feet on his second of six attempts, then passed on the remaining four and easily moved on to the state preliminaries, which will be held tonight at Buchanan High School in Clovis. Bradley’s mark was the third best in the Masters and will be the 8th best among 28 jumpers that will vie for a state championship the next day. Bradley advanced to the state finals last season where he finished in a tie for third place and picked up a medal, which goes to the top six finishers.

On his first attempt, Bradley jumped 22’ 7” which was second at that time. The state qualifying mark was 22’ 8”, thus there was no need for Bradley to continue past his second attempt.

As for Craver, the transfer student from Compton Centennial High, he has paved the way for what plans to be a suc-cessful track and field program at Artesia. Craver finished in fourth place in the 400 meter dash with a time of 47.29, which is also the fourth best among the 30 in that event who have advanced to the state pre-liminaries.

“It was really to try and get better,” said Artesia head coach Aaron Craver. “His personal best was 47.53 and he beat that tonight. It wasn’t so much just to make it but make it and still keep im-proving because now you get to state and you’re trying to win it. You have nothing to lose. He’s a 10th grader and nobody ex-pects him to win it.”

He added that the goal for his son was not to get too excited and go out fast, then die at the end. Jalen’s time was 35 tenths of a second off the leader, Reggie Wyatt of La Sierra High.

In addition, the Artesia girls 4 x 400 relay team finished in eighth place but still quailed with a time of 3:43.04, which was 18 tenths of a second faster than the cut-off qualifying mark. That time will be the 10th best in the state tonight. Shortly after the girls advanced, the boys did the same, coming in seventh place with a time of 3:19.63. That time will also be the 10th best among the boys 4 x 400 relay teams.

“There have been so many people who have been really good runners that have

not made it or get eliminated right here at Masters every year because there is so much competition in Southern California,” Aaron Craver said. “So it is a dream come true for any athlete. They just want to be able to run out here on this track and then be able to say they made it to state. Now it’s about going up there and making the best of it.

“I think we definitely have a bright fu-ture,” Aaron Craver added. “Some of the young kids in the community that are in our attendance area will probably say there are some positive stuff going on at Artesia. My goal for our program in the future is to keep the kids in our area who are supposed to stay in our area.”

Finally, Gahr junior Shaan Johnson was trying to make it a complete sweep for area participants in the Masters but he finished in 10th place in the long jump with his best jump coming at 21’ 11 1/4” Still, Johnson has one more year to duplicate what Brad-ley has now done in consecutive years.

“My performance tonight wasn’t the best that I’ve done,” Johnson said. “I’m a little disappointed but I still have next year.”

Johnson was sitting in sixth place af-ter the first attempt with a mark of 21’ 6” and improved that to 21’ 10 1/2” after his second attempt, still in sixth place. But his next two jumps were short of his total from the first attempt and he fouled on his last attempt. Johnson finished in third place in the divisional finals with a mark of 22’ 5 1/4", right behind Bradley. While Johnson didn’t advance to state, he will definitely be one of Bradley’s biggest supporters.

“It’s great because we had two this week, we had a couple [more] last week and now we’re down to one,” Johnson said. “It’s good to have people from Gahr in the state meet, and even in the Masters Meet.”

(82-67). Meanwhile, the Breakers upset third ranked Whitney 15-3 in the quarter-finals and second ranked Cate 13-5 in the semifinals. So, Cerritos wasn’t going to take Laguna Beach lightly, even when up 8-1.

“From the time CIF started, the main thing I told my guys was, ‘you had an easy regular season but we really haven’t had the competition we’re looking for’,” Chutikorn said. “Each match they worked a little bit harder and they prepared them-selves. No team is a pushover.”

On the doubles side, the number one team of seniors Arun Alagappan and Kevin Carlin swept their three sets over Rexford Miller/Mikey Rubel (6-1), Hutton McK-enna/Christian O’Conner (6-3) and Alex Gromet/Hunter Moskow (6-0). It was also a sweep for senior Derek Tu and sopho-more Terry Oh, the number two team, who posted scores of 6-4, 6-2 and 6-3. Senior Shane Guaderrama and junior David Booy defeated Gromet/Moskow 6-3, lost to McKenna/O’Conner 6-4 then rebounded for a 7-6 win over Miller/Rubel.

Since 2003, the Dons have compiled an astonishing record of 159-15 and have ad-vanced at least to the semifinals every year and were runner-ups in 2007. The only thing left is for Cerritos to possibly move up to Division III, or maybe Division II.

“They’re all going to be back next year besides my number one doubles,” Chu-tikorn said. “The hardest part about this year was keeping them focused because the Suburban League is not very strong. I have to actually practice with them dur-ing matches as they’re playing matches. They’re practicing and playing at the same time.

“I would love to move up to Division III and I would have no problem with that,” he added. “I think that’s what the kids need next. Sometimes you need to take a loss to improve on your game. There’s no shame in losing as long as you lose against some-one better and that’s why I want to play better teams.”

“It’s a big deal for us that we went un-defeated,” Min said. “It’s a good thing for our school pride and for our tennis team.”
