Payless 

grocery 

store eyes 

summer 

opening 

Payless Foods is behind 

schedule but still plans to open 

this summer at the former Vons 

on Paramount Boulevard. 

BY CHRISTIAN BROWN, 

STAFF WRITER 

DOWNEY – After months of 

construction setbacks, Payless 

Foods, the Hawthorne-based grocery 

store chain that announced 

plans this year to open a new 

store inside the former Vons 

Market, now estimates the 

Downey location won't be completed 

until sometime this summer. 

According to Dan McDivitt, 

general manager for Payless 

Foods, designs for the site have 

been finalized and renovation has 

begun inside the 28,000-squarefoot 

building, which was scheduled 

to open as Payless Foods' 

eleventh store last month. 

"We're still on, but we've run 

into some construction delays 

that have put us off schedule," 

said McDivitt. "We ran into some 

problems...and we're waiting for 

construction to get underway, but 

I've been doing this for 37 years. 

I've never opened one store on 

schedule − they've all been 

delayed." 

After Vons announced its closure 

last October, Payless Foods, 

hoping to expand into the area, 

bid against nearly a half dozen 

other grocery store chains, all 

interested in leasing the vacant 

building, located at 10001 

Paramount Blvd. 

Upon acquiring the nearly 56year-old 

building, Payless Foods 

promised a brand new store after 

a thorough renovation to fix 

much-needed repairs and update 

the aging facade. 

McDivitt maintains that 

despite the delays, the store will 

still face renovation once construction 

begins. 

"We are delayed, but the team 

is being set up of current employees 

and new employees from the 

community," he said. "Right now, 

they're working on refrigeration 

and decor. 

“The whole thing is going to 

be changed − we hope the community 

supports the store once it 

opens." 

Founded in 1983 by brothers 

and business partners, Bijan and 

Frank Rodd, Payless Foods first 

opened in the city of Carson, and 

later spread throughout Los 

Angeles County. 

Today, the company has over 

700 employees and operates 10 

store locations in the cities of El 

Monte, Carson, Los Angeles, 

Pacoima, Gardena, Sun Valley, 

San Fernando, Norwalk and 

Montebello. 

Fourth of July fireworks 

will cost $30K 

City Council decides against 

public donations and will 

use public funds for July 4 

fireworks event. 

BY ERIC PIERCE, 

CITY EDITOR 

DOWNEY – City Council 

members on Tuesday agreed to 

continue hosting a July 4 fireworks 

celebration but, unlike in years 

past, this year's event will be funded 

using tax dollars from the city's 

general fund. 

The City Council also turned 

down an unexpected offer from 

Calvary Chapel Downey to take 

over hosting duties and assume the 

financial responsibilities. 

Donations from residents and 

businesses funded the last two fireworks 

event. Mark Sauter, who is 

in charge of emergency preparedness 

for the city, was chief 

fundraiser, soliciting contributions 

from businesses, service clubs and 

residents. 

This year, however, city manager 

Gerald Caton objected to 

using Sauter in the same capacity. 

"I don't think it's right to have 

staff asking businesses for money," 

Caton said Tuesday. "It can be 

taken the wrong way." 

On a 4-1 vote, the council 

approved a $30,000 contract with a 

pyrotechnics company to produce a 

20-minute fireworks show at 

Downey High School. Councilman 

Mario Guerra, who voted against 

the deal, said the actual cost will be 

greater when factoring in police, 

fire and city personnel time. 

In an interview after the council 

meeting, Guerra said he was 

"shocked, disappointed and 

amazed" the fireworks program 

was approved. 

"I want to make it clear that I 

support a fireworks show but not at 

this cost," said Guerra, who voted 

against an employment contract 

with city labor unions last month 

over budget concerns. "This seems 

like reckless spending to me at this 

time. We can't afford to do it this 

way, especially when we had alternatives." 

Other council members, however, 

called the decision to host a 

city-sponsored program a "safety 

issue" and expressed uncertainty 

that Calvary Chapel Downey could 

organize a fireworks show here in a 

relatively short period of time. 

Rick Rodriguez, a Downey resident 

who worships at Calvary 

Chapel Downey, said the church 

DOWNEY – Downey, recently 

named a finalist for the 2011 All- 

America City award, will send a 

15-member delegation to Kansas

presentation before a panel of 

judges. 

Without comment, the City 

Council unanimously agreed 

Tuesday to use $12,500 in redevel-

community donations. This year’s show will be financed by public monies. 

hosts a fireworks celebration each 

July 4 at Cerritos College but 

would prefer to host the show in 

Downey. 

"I think (the fireworks show) is 

worth $30,000 out of the general 

fund. I would vote for this all day 

long," said Mayor Pro Tem Roger 

Brossmer, adding that the city 

should begin discussions with 

Calvary Chapel Downey earlier 

next year. "This is a safety issue 

and a community issue. In my 

opinion it's money well-spent." 

Councilman David Gafin hesitated 

before voting in support of 

the fireworks. 

"We're in the middle of a hiring 

freeze and contract negotiations," 

Gafin said. "I agree with all sides 

here." 

In registering his support, 

Councilman Fernando Vasquez 

emphasized the importance of a 

July 4 celebration. 

"This is a national holiday. 

Families will be making memories 

here," he said. 

Mayor Luis Marquez said the 

city council "has made a commitment 

to hosting a July 4 show." 

"I don't want to risk Calvary 

Chapel not getting the facilities and 

then we're left without a fireworks 

show," he said, adding that residents 

and businesses can still make 

donations by contacting City Hall. 

The fireworks show is scheduled 

to begin at 9 p.m. inside 

Downey High School's football 

stadium. Admission is free. 

The Downey Police 

Department will provide security 

and Downey firefighters will 

supervise the fireworks operations. 

Food and drinks will be sold by 

Downey High booster groups.

Community 

shows support 

for Theresa Ford 

Funeral Mass scheduled for 

Friday, May 13, at 1 p.m. 

at Our Lady of Perpetual 

Help Church. 

BY HENRY VENERACION, 

STAFF WRITER 

DOWNEY – By now every 

interested person in Downey 

must have read or heard or wondered 

about the terrible event on 

the evening of May 3 that 

claimed the lives of Rio Hondo 

Elementary School principal 

Theresa Ford’s husband, Russell, 

and their daughter, Emily. 

The two were shot and killed 

by Emily’s estranged husband, 

Robert Lehmann, who that morning 

had lost custody of the couple’s 

daughter. 

"Shortly before the victims' 

arrival to pick up the 7-year-old 

girl, Lehmann is accused of sending 

the child out of the home with 

his current wife for ice cream and 

arming himself with a firearm to 

wait for the victims," Orange 

County prosecutors said in a 

statement. 

Reaction among Theresa’s 

Downey Unified School District 

associates and close friends, as 

well as those who know her only 

socially, was swift, predictably 

compassionate, and solicitous. 

Beyond such expressions of 

commiseration as “It’s horrible!”, 

“It’s sad,” “It’s just awful!”, ”It’s 

absolutely shocking!”, “We 

grieve for her,” and so on, several 

individuals within and without 

Theresa’s immediate family circle 

have voluntarily assumed to 

perform what must be countless 

major and minor details that must 

be done in the wake of, as someone 

mentioned, an “unbelievable” 

act of violence, i.e., funeral 

arrangements (schedule synchronization, 

food and beverage 

preparation, other logistics matters) 

have to be made, including 

the scheduled funeral service (a 

mass) at 1 p.m. on May 13 at Our 

Lady of Perpetual Help Church 

where Russell was a parishioner 

for decades. 

One such caring friend whose 

name we dare mention is current 

DUSD chairman Martha Sodetani 

who, as Assistance League president, 

was able to enlist the 

league’s help in matters of food. 

One small but significant detail 

she said she and her group of volunteers 

almost didn’t include in 

their purchase items list was cups 

(for coffee, etc.). This must be 

puzzling to some, but not if the 

after-service reception is going to 

be held at a private home, as is 

allegedly the case here. This is an 

example of what friends can do to 

assist the family, she said, who 

are otherwise at this time overcome 

and numb with grief. 

Sodetani said she felt for 

Theresa. She could, however, 

identify with her grief only to a 

degree: she herself suffered the 

loss sometime back of her 4month-old 

daughter, in addition 

to that of her husband, Gordon. 

Obituaries for Russell Ford 

and Emily Ford Jordan 

on page 13 

Circumstances are different in 

Theresa’s case, she said. “Her 

wounds are deeper, profoundly 

deeper.” 

At any rate, right after the 

tragic event of Tuesday last 

week, DUSD superintendent Dr. 

Wendy Doty issued the following 

statement to the whole district: 

“It is with great sadness that I 

must inform you that Theresa 

Ford, principal at Rio Hondo 

Elementary School, suffered the 

tragic loss of her beloved husband, 

Russ, and her adult daughter, 

Emily. There is an on-going 

homicide investigation by the 

Costa Mesa Police Department 

[where Emily resided]. A District 

support team has been made 

available to Rio Hondo 

Elementary and to any other 

school that wishes to access their 

services. In Theresa’s absence, 

Allison Israwi, current vice-principal, 

is leading Rio Hondo with 

the full support of the Downey 

Unified School District. 

"The Ford family requests privacy 

at this difficult time. Friends 

and colleagues have established 

the Ford Family Memorial Fund 

at the Downey Federal Credit 

Union (Account #109350-2). 

Donations may be made by mail 

or if you are a member, by online 

transfer. 

"The Downey Unified School 

District is a family. We stand 

ready to support Theresa [who 

has been with the district for 

more than 30 years] in her time of 

need.” 

It was important, Doty was to 

emphasize again later, that in an 

intensely traumatic incident such 

as this, Theresa and her family’s 

privacy ought to be respected 

while they go through the grieving 

process. An important element 

of the process, Doty said, 

and “the important thing right 

now” is to help enable Theresa in 

every way, and as soon as, possible 

to resume her normal routine. 

Councilman Mario Guerra, 

who has similar close ties to the 

Fords, said: “It’s a terrible thing 

to happen to such a classy, wellknown 

and well-respected family. 

We share their sorrow, of course. 

We extend to Theresa our love 

and support.” 

Because of the “large circle of 

friends” the Ford family has 

come to enjoy over these years, 

we’re told that an outpouring of 

sympathy and affectionate 

remembrances for Theresa and 

her family (and thus more details 

that the family cares to share) can 

be anticipated in the days ahead.

$2.6M grant lends help 

to low-income students 

Cal State Long Beach 

will use money to retain 

low-income, first-generation 

college students. 

LONG BEACH – The U.S. 

Department of Education has 

awarded California State 

University, Long Beach 

(CSULB) a five-year, $2.63 million 

grant to help retain and graduate 

low-income, first-generation 

and disabled students at the campus. 

The grant‘s official start 

date is Sept. 1. 

The grant was awarded to 

CSULB’s Student Support 

Services Program (SSSP) 

through the campus’ Office of 

Educational Equity Services 

(EES). Annually, SSSP provides 

some 450 CSULB students with 

academic tutoring, advising in 

course selection, information and 

assistance on a full range of federal 

financial aid programs, counseling 

services to improve financial 

and economic literacy, exposure 

to cultural events, peer mentoring 

and personal counseling. 

“Cal State Long Beach is a 

model for serving the under-represented, 

and the Office of 

Educational Equity Services is 

committed to serving and caring 

for people who might be less for- 

tunate than others,” explained 

Howard Wray, executive director 

of EES and director of SSSP. 

“This grant will go a long way 

toward helping these students 

graduate and really improve their 

lives.” 

Wray reported that CSULB’s 

proposal earned 299 points out of 

a possible 300. He also noted 

how competitive this year’s 

application process was. 

“We’re really very satisfied 

and overwhelmed that we scored 

so well,” he said. “The competition 

in this year’s grant proposal 

process was very keen, and 

resulted in 94 previous grantees 

losing their SSS programs 

because of low proposal scores. 

So obviously, we’re very pleased 

with this outcome.” 

Wray believes that when 

SSSP is successful, it adds to the 

success of Cal State Long Beach 

in terms of retaining and graduating 

students. In fact, he pointed 

out that the five-year graduation 

rate for SSSP’s 2004 cohort 

group is 65 percent, a full 10 percentage 

points higher than the 

office’s stated objective. 

“When students come to 

Educational Equity Services, 

they are often on the verge of not 

doing well in a particular subject 

or they may have difficulty pass- 

ing the university’s writing proficiency 

exam. They might even be 

at the point of dropping out,” 

Wray pointed out. “We are able 

to provide them with much needed 

assistance to boost their grades 

or improve their writing skills so 

they can graduate.” 

EES programs offer many 

resources to the campus and community. 

Educational Talent 

Search has been helping lowincome 

and potential first-generation 

students successfully graduate 

from secondary school and 

enroll in post-secondary education 

since 1977. Upward Bound 

serves high school students from 

low-income families, and from 

families in which neither parent 

holds a bachelors degree. A new 

program, Upward Bound Math 

and Science, was created in 1990 

to address the need for specific 

instruction in the fields of science, 

technology, engineering 

and math. 

There is also the Educational 

Opportunity Center (EOC), 

which serves adults who need 

assistance in getting their GED or 

applying to and enrolling in postsecondary 

educational programs; 

the College Assistance Migrant 

Program (CAMP), a federally 

funded program designed for students 

from migrant families; and 

the McNair Scholars Program, 

which is designed to increase the 

number of students from underrepresented 

segments of society 

and disadvantaged backgrounds 

who have demonstrated strong, 

academic potential to enroll in 

and graduate from doctoral 

degree programs. 

University to discuss expansion 

of Panama Canal 

‘Point/Counterpoint’ event 

brings together scholars and 

industry experts. 

LONG BEACH – As a followup 

to its October 

Point/Counterpoint event, titled 

“Panama Canal Expansion: The 

Battle for Jobs and Cargo. Who 

Wins? Whose Loses? Who 

Decides?”, California State 

University, Long Beach’s 

(CSULB) Center for International 

Trade and Transportation (CITT) 

will hold a three-part webinar 

series titled “Cargo and Jobs: Still 

Ours to Lose?,” with one-hour 

Friday webcasts beginning at noon 

on May 20, June 3 and 17. 

The Point/Counterpoint event 

brought scholars as well as industry 

experts and leaders to campus 

to review facts surrounding the 

canal’s expansion and offer unique 

perspectives - as well as challenge 

existing assumptions - concerning 

implications for West Coast ports, 

cargo volume and jobs. 

“There are related topics under 

a common theme: ‘Is the cargo and 

are the jobs still ours to lose?’” said 

Thomas O’Brien, director of 

research for CITT. “The one message 

most people took away from 

the Point/Counterpoint event was 

from one of the speakers, Dr. Mary 

Brooks from Canada’s Dalhousie 

University in Halifax, who challenged 

the audience by saying, the 

cargo is ours to lose.” 

CITT Executive Director 

Marianne Venieris thinks it is 

important to know what that 

means. “At stake are not just jobs 

and profits at the Port of Long 

Beach and Port of Los Angeles, but 

the larger Southern California 

logistics economy,” she said. “The 

ports as well as elected officials 

can make decisions that keep 

Southern California attractive as a 

destination for cargo, but we could 

lose it if the wrong decisions are 

made or if no action is taken.” 

The moderator for the series 

will be Mat Kaplan, senior director 

of technology and development at 

CSULB’s College of Continuing 

and Professional Education. 

Kaplan also hosts CITT’s 

ContainerCast podcasts. 

O’Brien will set the stage in the 

first webcast and offer a summary 

in the final session. The expert 

guests will be asked how shippers 

make decisions about moving 

goods though Southern California 

and to what extent the San Pedro 

Bay ports are or will be competitive 

with other ports. 

The first session on May 20, 

titled “How Shippers Choose 

Ports,” featuring presenter Joey 

Carnes, chairman and chief executive 

officer of MIQ Logistics, will 

examine the way factors such as 

price, speed and reliability make 

local ports competitive. How do 

different shippers vary in the needs 

and expectations that affect their 

decisions? How much discretionary 

cargo is really at risk when 

the canal’s expansion allows larger 

vessels to travel directly from Asia 

to East Coast ports? 

The June 3 presentation will 

ask, “Is Southern California 

Competitive?” Fran Inman, senior 

vice president, Corporate 

Development, Majestic Realty Co. 

and appointee to the California 

Transportation Commission, will 

look at how diverse local stakeholders 

have found common 

ground and have been working 

together to address customer needs 

and priorities; what actions have 

been taken to enhance the system 

capacity of ports, rail and highways; 

and how effectively the 

industry has been communicating 

the advantage of West Coast gateways 

to shippers and ocean carri- 

PROM SPECIALS 

ers. 

During the final session on 

June 17, John McLaurin, president, 

Pacific Merchant Shipping 

Association, will address the 

“Challenges Ahead” in terms of 

remaining tasks and obstacles. 

What steps must be taken to keep 

pace with improvements at other 

West Coast, Gulf Coast and 

Atlantic harbors? How can local 

community, regulatory, security 

and environmental concerns be 

addressed to accelerate the necessary 

work? 

“In order to find the right topic 

for the next Point/Counterpoint 

event scheduled for the spring of 

2012, we know we have to explore 

some more issues that are still 

unresolved in our minds,” O’Brien 

noted. “We thought we needed further 

discussion, and the webinar 

series takes advantage of new 

media that allows us to reach a 

larger national audience. The 

interest in this topic extends 

beyond this region. The people on 

the East Coast and the Gulf Coast 

have an interest in what’s being 

said here, just as we have an interest 

in how they’re looking at the 

question of competitiveness there.” 

Program and speaker information 

is available on the CITT website 

at www.ccpe.csulb.edu/citt/. 

The events are free with 

advance online registration. Only 

participants in attendance will be 

able to submit questions and 

recordings will be archived afterward.

CITY COUNCIL BRIEFS 

City opposes 

'Anti-Wal-Mart' bill 

Proposed legislation would 

require big-box stores to file 

economic impact reports prior 

to opening; Marquez and 

Vasquez abstain. 


CITY EDITOR 

DOWNEY – The City Council 

voted 3-0 on Tuesday to formally 

oppose pending legislation that 

would require certain big-box 

retailers to file an economic 

impact report prior to opening a 

new store. 

Dubbed the "Anti-Wal-Mart 

Bill" by the Sacramento Bee, the 

legislation was introduced by Sen. 

Juan Vargas (D-San Diego) and 

targets new developments of at 

least 90,000 square feet that sell 

consumer goods and dedicate at 

least 10% of floor space to groceries. 

Similar-sized developments – 

such as Home Depot or Lowe's – 

and discount warehouses requiring 

a membership fee are exempted. 

The bill requires the developer 

to pay for an economic impact 

analysis before it could be 

approved by local government. 

The analysis would include details 

on how the store would affect 

other retail stores and employment 

in the area. 

Downey officials said they 

opposed the legislation because 

"the decision to approve or deny a 

particular development is fundamentally 

a local decision, made by 

the informed local officials 

uniquely qualified to make land 

use decisions affecting the health, 

welfare, safety and economic well 

being of their communities." 

In a statement, Vargas said the 

proposed legislation would "create 

the transparency that local communities 

need to make sure coporations 

that want to build and 

operate these giant big-box businesses 

don't harm existing businesses, 

jobs, public services and 

neighborhoods." 

“Small and neighborhood 

businesses are the backbone of 

every local economy,” said 

Vargas. “The public deserves the 

right to know what will happen to 

these businesses before a superstore 

developer comes into a community 

and potentially puts these 

businesses and the entire local 

economy at risk." 

City officials, however, disagree. 

"As local officials, the City 

Council and Planning 

Commissioners are directly 

accountable for land use decisions 

affecting the quality of life in a 

community," Shannon DeLong, 

assistant to the city manager, 

wrote in a report to the council. 

"Each community may reach different 

conclusions on the extent to 

which the developments targeted 

in this bill may diminish or add 

value in their city." 

The council voted 3-0 to 

oppose the legislation, with Mayor 

Luis Marquez and Councilman 

Fernando Vasquez abstaining. 

Marquez and Vasquez did not give 

a reason for declining to vote and 

did not return messages seeking 

comment Wednesday. 

Councilman Mario Guerra, 

however, called their decision to 

abstain from a vote "insulting." 

"It's insulting that some people 

would not vote in the best interest 

of the city," Guerra said. "Voting 

on this was a no-brainer." 

City officials accepted the Compass Blueprint Award on May 5. From left: 

community development director Brian Saeki, Councilman David Gafin,

Officials accept award 

for downtown plan 

DOWNEY – Officials from the city of Downey traveled to Palm 

Desert on May 5 to accept the Compass Blueprint Award at the Southern 

California Association of Government's (SCAG) Regional Conference 

and General Assembly. 

Downey received the award for its Downtown Downey Specific Plan 

completed last year. 

""We could not be any more proud to have been selected for this 

award, as this new Downtown Downey Specific Plan will revitalize our 

city's downtown area and encourage economic growth," said Mayor Luis 

Marquez, who was not in attendance at the event. 

Given annually, SCAG's Compass Blueprint Awards promote the principles 

of mobility, livability, prosperity and sustainability. Downey's 

award for livability was based on the Downtown Downey Specific Plan's 

opportunities to revitalize downtown by providing a mix of uses, promoting 

"peoplescaled" walkable communities and supporting stable neighborhoods. 

Said Councilman David Gafin, Downey's own SCAG representative: 

"We have a bright future ahead for our downtown area and I feel honored 

that our city was recognized for its hard work in planning for this new 

project." 

Councilman Mario Guerra, who was present to accept the award, along 

with Gafin, community development director Brian Saeki and senior planner 

David Blumenthal, said the Downtown Downey Specific Plan is a 

product of hard work from numerous people. 

"I am so proud of the work done by our Downtown Subcommittee, 

City Council and fine staff and to say that it is now an "award-winning 

plan" as judged by the experts in these fields," he said.

Turn signal OK'd for Paramount 

DOWNEY – A left-turn signal will be installed at Paramount 

Boulevard and Telegraph Road after the city reinitiated a cost-sharing deal 

with Pico Rivera. 

Downey and Pico Rivera initially agreed to install the turn signal in 

2007, but the project was never completed due to "funding limitations" 

and "a shift in department priorities at the time," public works director 

John Oskoui said. The deal between the two cities eventually expired in 

2008. 

Under the new agreement, both cities will share 50% of the total estimated 

$120,000 project cost. Downey will pay its portion using gas tax 

funds. 

Downey is also responsible for the preparation of plans, specifications 

and estimate, while Pico Rivera has taken on responsibilities for 50% of 

all incurred costs. 

LED lights on Lakewood 

DOWNEY – The city of Downey will pay an additional $47,000 for 

more efficient LED light fixtures on Lakewood Boulevard where construction 

is currently underway. 

The new lights, to be installed on Lakewood Boulevard from 5th Street 

to Florence Avenue, aesthetically match the style of the pedestrian light 

fixtures already installed south on Lakewood. 

The new LED lights have a higher initial cost than typical light fixtures 

but require less electricity, saving the city money in the long-term public 

works officials said. 

Construction on Lakewood Boulevard is currently below budget so the 

city will not tap into additional resources, officials said. 

Contract awarded for vault's removal 

DOWNEY – SoCal Engineering, Inc., was awarded a contract this 

week to remove an abandoned Southern California Edison electrical vault 

located on 2nd Street in downtown Downey, where the city plans to build 

an affordable housing complex. 

Removal of the electrical vault is considered the first step towards 

eventual demolition of the existing Verizon building. 

According to Brian Saeki, director of community development for 

Downey, demolition is expected to begin "Julyish" and last about three 

months. 

SoCal Engineering was awarded the contract on a 4-0 vote. 

Councilman Fernando Vasquez, a former employee of developer National 

Community Renaissance, abstained from the vote.

Ward Elementary 

named 'School 

of the Year' 

DOWNEY – Ward Elementary School won the 2010 School of the Year 

Award from the California Nevada Youth Involvement Network for their 

efforts in financial literacy, Downey Federal Credit Union announced this 

week. 

Ward is Downey Federal Credit Union's adopted school. 

Ward provides financial literacy opportunities for its students several 

times a year through credit-union sponsored assemblies, field trips, classroom 

presentations, money management classes and more. 

Over the past three years, the school has incorporated financial education 

into its enrichment curriculum. 

"The teachers and staff at Ward are very pleased with the partnership 

between Downey Federal Credit Union and our school," said Ward principal 

Jennifer Robbins. "Everyone has the opportunity benefit with knowledge and 

training." 

Every year the credit union sends its kids' mascot, Kirby Kangaroo, to 

Ward, where he teaches kids the importance of creating a budget. 

In addition, Kari Johnson, the credit union's community education and 

development representative, teaches a month-long class to enrichment students, 

where kids learn about the origins of money; the principals of saving, 

spending and sharing; and about the banking system. 

By the end of the class, students are able to explain the difference between 

banks and credit unions, how to properly fill out a check and balance a checkbook, 

and where U.S. coins and currency are made, officials said. 

This year, students were asked to create a budget with real money donated 

by the credit union. Using the three principles of saving, spending and 

sharing, the students voted to allocate a portion of their budget to Children's 

Hospital of Los Angeles and the Southeast Area Animal Control Authority 

(SEAACA) in Downey. 

"Our goal, from youth to senior citizens, is to create an environment 

where learning and skills can be used to make wise financial decisions," said 

Barbara Lamberth, president and CEO of the credit union. "We welcome the 

opportunity to help create knowledgeable community members of all ages." 

The Assistance League's Gypsy Johnson Auxiliary has donated $12,250 to 

the Downey Unified School District's TLC Family Resource Center in support 

of children's health programs. A TLC representative said the organization 

"greatly appreciates their donation for funding this much-needed program 

for students in Downey." Pictured from left to right: Kelly Holt (philanthropic

Little bro 

By Eric Pierce 

I'm not the type to tell a person what to do with their life, so 

when my younger brother Michael announced he was enlisting in 

the Army, the only thing I could say was... Good luck. 

I don't mean that in a sarcastic way, either. I genuinely hope he 

kicks butt in the military. Whether they ship him to Afghanistan or 

Timbuktu, or somewhere in between, I want him to untap his massive 

potential and be an awesome soldier. Michael is incredibly 

smart, although I think his stubborness sometimes gets in the way 

of his intelligence. 

My biggest worry, of course, is his safety. I pray that he remains 

safe, both physically and mentally. I want him to come home in one 

piece, and his mental well-being fully intact. I pray he can ward off 

the loneliness that is sure to set in by remembering he has a family 

here that loves him and anxiously awaits his return. 

I still think of Michael as the hyper little kid I grew up with, the 

kid I shared a smelly room with during the majority of our adolescence. 

But he's grown now, and I hope when he comes back from 

serving our country he and I can become closer. 

I don't ask God for much, but I'm asking him to please keep my 

brother safe. 

• 

No matter what you think of the City Council’s decision to 

spend at least $30,000 for a fireworks show (reckless spending or 

justifiable expense for public safety?), perhaps we can all agree that 

the timing was awful. 

If council members or city administrators had begun planning a 

July 4 fireworks event with sufficient time -- you know, before May 

-- perhaps a more diligent plan of action could have been charted 

and, more importantly, citizens would have had an opportunity to 

offer their two cents. 

Council members may want to consider planning next year’s 

July 4 party in January. 

• 

Mayor Luis Marquez and Councilman Fernando Vasquez 

abstained from voting on a mostly ceremonial action Tuesday that 

would have voiced Downey’s opposition to a so-called “Anti-Wal- 

Mart” bill. 

Marquez and Vasquez can vote or not vote on whatever they 

want, but their actions are not helping to ward off growing suspicions 

that their loyalties lie with the Democratic party and not the 

residents of Downey. 

DREAM Act returns 

after reintroduction by 

Roybal-Allard 

On Wednesday, Rep. Lucille Roybal-Allard (CA-34) joined 

Rep. Howard L. Berman (CA-28) in reintroducing the 

Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors Act (DREAM 

Act). 

The legislation, which was approved by the US House of 

Representatives last year but failed to pass the U.S. Senate, provides 

a pathway for eligible young immigrants raised in the United 

States to become lawful permanent residents and realize their 

potential as professionals and taxpayers. 

An original co-author of the DREAM Act since 2001, Roybal- 

Allard said: “To realize our potential as a nation, we must enable 

our youth, irrespective of legal status, to realize their potential as 

students and as lawful permanent residents. Unfortunately, our broken 

immigration system wastes our investments in gifted undocumented 

students and squanders their intellectual gifts. To address 

this failure, the Dream Act will make it possible for thousands of 

young people to attend college and contribute to their communities 

and our country. I call on my colleagues in Congress to join me in 

supporting this critical legislation so that children raised in America 

will no longer be denied the rights and responsibilities of legal permanent 

residents.” 

The DREAM Act offers a prudent, equitable solution to the 

challenges that undocumented students face in attempting to gain 

admission to our colleges and universities. It provides a path to 

legalization to students who entered the U.S. at the age of 15 years 

or younger, have lived here for at least 5 years, and have completed 

two years of higher education or military service. 

President Obama has repeatedly expressed strong support for 

the DREAM Act. As recently as May 10 during a speech in El Paso, 

Texas, the President once again urged Congress to pass this much 

needed legislation.

Letters to the Editor: 

Overpaid vs. underpaid 

Dear Editor: 

In this age of over-compensated occupations mainly found in the civil 

service sector, it is refreshing to know that those brave men of Navy Seals 

Group 6, found recently all over the news, only receive $54,000 a year 

after 12 years of service and only after reaching the rank of E-7, for risking 

their lives daily. 

Yet, has anyone heard them complain or threaten to strike because of 

their wages or lack of, or not enough retirement packages or health benefits? 

I might be wrong in saying that their job is a bit more hazardous than 

a city clerk or a bombastic bureaucrat or kindergarten teacher, but one 

would never know it by listening to them. 

I guess it really is true that the "I Generation" has hijacked common 

sense and led us to believe that any civil service job is to be held above all 

others. 

-- Ed Romero, 

Downey 

In agreement 

Dear Editor: 

I would like to thank Juan Flores and Mike Sandoval for their letters 

in last week's paper. (Letters to the Editor, 5/5/11) 

I am with Mr. Flores about dropping off school kids and blocking traffic. 

I nearly hit a mother and child at Gallatin Elementary once because the 

mother, holding the child's hand, walked out between cars without looking. 

She just walked right in front of me. Luckily, I was barely moving and 

was able to stop. I will drive out of my way to avoid a school at starting/ending 

time now. 

I would also like to thank Mr. Sandoval for correcting all the hoopla 

about Osama bin Laden. Even the government is saying bin Laden was 

involved with the Twin Towers in New York. Doesn't anyone check out 

what they are saying? I am glad they got bin Laden, but get him for the 

right reasons. 

Speaking of the Twin Towers, I think it is a disgrace that nothing is 

built in memory. Good grief – it has been almost 10 years. Shouldn't a 

memorial have been built by now? 

-- Doris Hannon, 

Downey 

Dennis the Menace 

Dear Editor: 

Until I met the staff from the Downey parks department, I thought the 

parks in Downey were here to serve the needs of people who wanted to 

use the parks. This seems not to be the case with Dennis the Menace Park, 

a small pocket park located at the end of Arrington Avenue. 

In contrast to virtually every other park in Downey, Dennis the Menace 

is blocked off by a very tall chain link fence that not only bars entry to the 

parking lot, but ensures that pedestrians have no access from Arrington, 

either. There are two pedestrian entrances via Vista del Rio Drive, but 

there are no signs anywhere that point to these entrances: you have to 

know they are there. 

Also, in contrast to virtually every other park in Downey, Dennis the 

Menace does not open until 10 a.m. on weekends and that poses a problem 

for families that want to bring in their supplies for (primarily) kids 

parties. Those who know about the pedestrian entrances on Vista del Rio 

can and do haul their supplies clear across the park, leaving someone to 

guard their tables while the main party arrives later when the park is officially 

open and the parking lot is available. 

Walking around the park early on weekend mornings, I have watched 

these folks hauling their supplies across the park – wondering why the 

parking lot isn't open and available. The parks department said the 

Downey Police Department wants Dennis the Menace Park locked up this 

way to either prevent or discourage mischief makers from being at the 

park. I went to the police department and was told in no uncertain terms 

that it does not make policy regarding opening and closing times of 

Downey parks. 

I was also told by the parks department that the neighbors on Arrington 

want Dennis the Menace locked up this way. So I talked to an elderly couple 

who not only have lived on Arrington for over 60 years but the elderly 

gentleman was on the original committee that decided that the space 

should be a park. I did not hear them voice the opinion that the park had 

to be as tightly locked up as it is. 

Two employees of the parks department met with me at the entrance to 

Dennis the Menace and the idea of a pedestrian entrance came up to allow 

people who want access to the park on weekends to haul in their supplies 

from Arrington. I thought that idea was a good compromise, but it has 

already died. The entrance to Dennis the Menace is to remain as it is – a 

huge chain link fence with no access on Arrington. It really does raise the 

question – in terms of public policy – why does this park warrant this special 

treatment? 

I have crossed the police department and neighbors off the list as to 

why this park is treated so differently from virtually all of the other parks 

in Downey. The parks department employees cited "the budget" as another 

reason and claimed that the park has to be staffed if it is open, but those 

reasons are bogus. Rio San Gabriel Park opens every day at 6 a.m. and it 

is not staffed until much later in the day. So what's left? The staff in the 

parks department. 

I worked for several years in county government and I know that when 

there is a will, there is a way. But when bureaucrats are intransigent and 

unwilling to expend any effort, any energy, nothing happens. And that's 

the sad case with Dennis the Menace Park. 

I heard the parks department was "monitoring" the number of cars 

waiting on Arrington on weekend mornings to see if people were trying to 

get into the parking lot. Whether or not people are waiting is not the point. 

The point is: Dennis the Menace Park should be as accessible to the public 

in the same way that other parks in Downey are. End of story. 

-- Muriel C. Schuerman, 

Downey 

Death certificate 

Dear Editor: 

I am really surprised Donald Trump hasn't demanded that President 

Obama present him with a copy of, or even the original, death certificate 

of Osama bin Laden. 

The long form, of course, signed by St. Peter, or more likely by the 

devil. 

-- Jim Lucas,

Caroline Kennedy 

announces support for 

gay marriage 

On Thursday, Caroline Kennedy became the 100,000th signer on 

Freedom to Marry's Open Letter urging President Obama to support the 

freedom to marry for gay and lesbian couples. 

"Falling in love, getting married, and building a family is part of the 

American dream," said Caroline Kennedy. "I believe that all Americans, 

including committed gay and lesbian couples, should have the opportunity 

to pursue that dream." 

Freedom to Marry's "Say I Do" campaign was launched on March 14 

with an Open Letter to the President signed by prominent Americans, 

including civil rights leaders, Hollywood stars, musicians, and business 

leaders. Since then, 100,000 Americans have joined the campaign and 

signed on to the letter calling on the President to join "the majority of 

Americans who support the freedom to marry." 

"We're honored that Caroline Kennedy has signed on to Freedom to 

Marry's 'Say I Do' campaign," said Sean Eldridge, Political Director of 

Freedom to Marry. "A growing chorus of voices is calling on the President 

to complete his journey and join the majority of Americans who support 

the freedom to marry." 

The full text of the Open Letter is available online at freedomtomarry.org. 

Same-sex couples, family members, and other supporters of the 

freedom to marry will deliver the letter, along with stories and family photos, 

to the White House later this spring. 

Signers to the letter include civil rights icons Julian Bond, Chairman 

Emeritus, NAACP, and Helen Fabela Chavez (widow of Cesar Chavez 

and founder of Cesar E. Chavez Foundation); actors Anne Hathaway, Jane 

Lynch, Eric McCormack, Martin Sheen, Lily Tomlin, and Verne Troyer; 

television host Ellen Degeneres and actor Portia Degeneres; musicians 

Sara Bareilles, Lance Bass, Melissa Etheridge, Cyndi Lauper, Mya, 

LeAnn Rimes and Rufus Wainwright; award-winning screenwriter Dustin 

Lance Black; high-tech entrepreneurs Jack Dorsey (co-founder of 

Twitter), Chris Hughes (co-founder of Facebook), Sean Parker (cofounder 

of Napster), and Mark Pincus (co-founder of Zynga); 

media/entertainment execs David Geffen (co-founder of Dreamworks 

SKG) and Bob Wright (former chairman and CEO of NBC Universal); 

NFL players Brendon Ayanbadejo and Scott Fujita; playwright Tony 

Kushner; and Rev. Peter Morales (president, Unitarian Universalist 

Association ).

Church reaches out 

to ‘victims of cult’ 

Calvary Bible Church of Milpitas, California is reaching out to provide 

help to followers of Harold Camping's "Family Radio," which they believe 

to be a doomsday cult, and asks them not to do anything rash on Sunday, 

May 22. 

The 89-year-old Camping owns the Oakland, California-based Family 

Radio Network, heard on more than 150 stations around the world. 

Camping uses it to promote his strange understanding of the Bible that 

includes mathematical predictions of Jesus Christ's return on Saturday, 

May 21 and the end of the universe on October 21 of this year. 

Calvary Bible Church is very concerned about the wellbeing of 

Camping's followers, who sincerely believe his predictions. Camping contradicts 

the Bible, which says that no one knows the date of Christ's return. 

Jesus said that even He did not know it, but Camping claims to have figured 

it out. 

Camping's followers believe so strongly that they will be "raptured" 

(ascending to Jesus in heaven) on May 21, that some of them may have 

emptied bank accounts, cashed out retirement funds, and sold possessions 

in order to donate money to help Camping spread his message. 

Calvary Bible Church is concerned that Camping's devotees may 

become depressed and do something rash, when May 21st passes and they 

realize they have been misled. They are especially concerned that those 

who have given away a substantial portion of their savings might consider 

suicide when they realize that Jesus has not returned, as Camping promised, 

and they are financially ruined. 

The church wants to reach out to Camping's followers with a message 

of hope. "Do not despair," said Pastor Jacob Denys. "You are not alone. 

We offer you help and Biblical counsel." 

The church plans to have their doors open to Camping's followers in 

need of counsel. Those interested may call or visit the church to find help. 

Camping's followers are invited to attend their Sunday Morning Service 

on May 22 at 10:00 a.m. - the day after Camping's promised second coming 

of Christ. 

"We realize our offer of assistance may not be well-received right 

now," said Pastor Denys, "but we hope on May 22 they will see it is an 

offer made in Christian love. We know that you will be hurting when you 

realize that you have been deceived, and we will be here for you."

Paging Dr. Frischer... 

By Dr. Alan Frischer 

You have a terrible 

feeling in your chest! 

You go to your computer 

and Google “chest 

pain.” Up come hundreds of 

sites that describe the pain 

and its possible causes. How 

do you filter through this 

wealth of information? How 

do you know what is accurate? 

Most importantly, how 

do you interpret the information 

you are seeing? 

The Internet has become the 

“go-to” resource for so many of 

us. A 2010 study from the Pew 

Research Center shows that 80 

percent of Internet users look 

online at some point for health 

information. However, while the 

Internet is a rich source of information, 

it is also a prolific dispenser 

of misinformation. 

In some ways, gathering 

information used to be easier. 

We went to a library, and consulted 

familiar and trusted 

sources of books, journals, or 

magazines. We looked for familiar 

experts or writers in a given 

field. Legitimate journals were 

subject to expert review before 

publication. Today, we can 

access limitless amounts of 

information online, but much of 

it is from unfamiliar sources. In 

fact, the nature of the Internet 

allows anyone with an opinion 

or something to sell to have a 

nearly level playing field with 

the experts. The result is a 

World Wide Web filled with 

fact, fiction, opinions, political 

commentary and sales pitches. 

In medicine, my own field of 

expertise, I’ve seen two major 

problems. First of all, information 

found on the Internet isn’t 

necessarily correct. In order to 

evaluate a website for accuracy, 

many of the following questions 

need to be answered: 

•Who created the website? Is it 

a nationally known government, 

university or medical school? Who 

is the author and what are their 

qualifications? Is it a blog created 

by an individual unknown to you? 

Who is the publisher and what is 

the purpose of the site? 

•How current is the information? 

When was it posted or last 

updated? 

•Is there a bias? Is the language 

emotional or inflammatory? Does 

the information represent a single 

opinion or a range of opinions? Are 

any underlying assumptions clearly 

identified? What is the main message 

of the website? Is there an 

obvious political or social message 

being conveyed? 

•Have you been to this particular 

website in the past, and was it 

helpful? Do other sites have similar 

information, or is the information 

unique and not supported anywhere 

else? 

•Is the information clearly stated? 

Do the facts as presented support 

the conclusions? 

•Is there mention of a specific 

product or group of products for 

purchase? 

I am thrilled when my 

patients become actively 

involved in the treatment of 

their health issues. I believe that 

it is critical to “own” a problem, 

and to take active measures to 

make lifestyle changes and 

resolve health issues. However, 

the second major problem that 

stems from information gathered 

on the Internet is that even 

when you find accurate information, 

the findings need to be 

interpreted and applied properly 

to your particular situation. 

For instance, in the chest 

pain example above, the cause 

of the pain might be the heart, 

bones, muscles, nerves, intestines, 

lungs...even when the 

proper data is gathered, knowing 

how to analyze it accurately, 

reaching the right conclusions, 

and deciding what action to take 

requires experience, education, 

and wisdom. That is where your 

trusted family doctor or other 

health professional comes in. 

Nonetheless, it’s clear that it 

is far better to learn about your 

own health issues than to bury 

your head in the sand. Happy 

surfing!

U.S. asthma rates continue to rise 

Nearly 1 in 12 Americans 

were diagnosed with asthma 

in 2009, according to CDC. 

CONTRIBUTED BY THE 

CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL 

People diagnosed with asthma 

in the United States grew by 4.3 

million between 2001 and 2009, 

according to a new Vital Signs 

report released last week by the 

Centers for Disease Control and 

Prevention. 

In 2009, nearly 1 in 12 

Americans were diagnosed with 

asthma. In addition to increased 

diagnoses, asthma costs grew from 

about $53 billion in 2002 to about 

$56 billion in 2007, about a 6 percent 

increase. The explanation for 

the growth in asthma rates is 

unknown. 

Asthma is a lifelong disease 

that causes wheezing, breathlessness, 

chest tightness, and coughing, 

though people with asthma can

asthma attacks by avoiding things 

that can set off an asthma attacks,

CDC's 2012 edition Yellow 

Book, the definitive health guide 

for international travel, will feature 

new sections on traveling to mass 

gatherings, preparing for study 

abroad, military deployments, and 

six new popular travel itineraries. 

Nicknamed for its yellow 

cover, the health guide is officially 

titled CDC Health Information for 

International Travel. The resource, 

which is updated once every two 

years, provides travel health recommendations 

and other features 

that help international travelers 

prepare for trips and stay healthy 

while abroad, such as when to get 

the recommended vaccines and 

medicines before departure, and 

symptoms to watch for during travel 

and when you return. 

"International travelers do a lot 

teroids. The report highlights the 

benefits of essential asthma education 

and services that reduce the 

impact of these triggers, but most 

often these benefits are not covered 

by health insurers. 

"Despite the fact that outdoor 

air quality has improved, we've 

reduced two common asthma triggers—secondhand 

smoke and 

smoking in general—asthma is 

increasing," said Paul Garbe, 

D.V.M., M.P.H, chief of CDC's Air 

Pollution and Respiratory Health 

Branch. "While we don't know the 

cause of the increase, our top priority 

is getting people to manage 

their symptoms better." 

Asthma triggers are usually 

environmental and can be found at 

school, work, home, outdoors, and 

elsewhere and can include tobacco 

smoke, mold, outdoor air pollution, 

and infections linked to influenza, 

cold-like symptoms, and other 

viruses. 

Asthma diagnoses increased 

among all demographic groups 

between 2001 and 2009, though a 

higher percentage of children 

reported having asthma than adults 

(9.6 percent compared to 7.7 percent 

in 2009), Diagnoses were 

especially high among boys (11.3 

percent). The greatest rise in asthma 

rates was among black children 

(almost a 50 percent increase) from 

2001 through 2009. Seventeen percent 

of non-Hispanic black children 

had asthma in 2009, the highest 

rate among racial/ethnic groups. 

Annual asthma costs in the 

United States were $3,300 per person 

with asthma from 2002 to 2007 

in medical expenses. About 2 in 5 

uninsured and 1 in 9 insured people 

with asthma could not afford their 

prescription medication. 

"Asthma is a serious, lifelong 

disease that unfortunately kills 

thousands of people each year and 

adds billions to our nation's health 

care costs," said CDC Director 

Thomas R. Frieden, M.D., M.P.H. 

"We have to do a better job educating 

people about managing their 

symptoms and how to correctly use 

medicines to control asthma so 

they can live longer more productive 

lives while saving health care 

costs." 

This report coincides with 

World Asthma Day, an annual 

event sponsored by the Global 

Initiative for Asthma. This year's 

theme is "You Can Control Your 

Asthma." Reducing asthma attacks 

and the human and economic costs 

of asthma are key priorities for the 

U.S. Department of Health and 

Human Services and the focus of a 

collaborative effort involving 

many parts of HHS. In support of 

this effort CDC recommends: 

* Improving indoor air quality 

for people with asthma through 

measures such as smoke-free air 

laws and policies, healthy schools 

and workplaces. 

* Teach patients how to avoid 

asthma triggers such as tobacco 

smoke, mold, pet dander, and outdoor 

air pollution. 

* Encouraging clinicians to prescribe 

inhaled corticosteroids for 

all patients with persistent asthma 

and to use a written asthma action 

plan to teach patients how manage 

their symptoms. 

* Promoting measures that prevent 

asthma attacks such as 

increasing access to corticosteroids 

and other prescribed medicines. 

* Encourage home environmental 

assessments and educational 

sessions conducted by clinicians, 

health educators, and other health 

professionals both within and outside 

of the clinical setting. 

Advice for international travelers 

New book features advice 

for international travel. 

CONTRIBUTED BY THE 

CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL 

to get ready for a trip—packing, 

planning activities, and making 

sure their passports are in order— 

but too few plan ahead for their 

health while traveling," said Dr. 

Gary Brunette, chief of CDC's 

Travelers' Health Branch. "CDC 

hopes clinicians and travelers will 

use the Yellow Book to learn about 

steps to take before, during and 

after travel to have a healthy and 

safe trip." 

Following the success of a 

2010 addition highlighting popular 

international destination and itineraries, 

CDC expanded the publication 

to 13 popular destinations. 

New itineraries in the 2012 edition 

include the Caribbean, Egypt and 

Nile River cruises, Guatemala and 

Belize, Hajj Pilgrimage (Saudi 

Arabia), Mexico, and South Africa. 

CDC asked travel health experts 

with particular knowledge of these 

areas to write the sections to give 

readers a sense of what it's really 

like to be there and what health 

risks exist at each location. 

The 2012 edition also includes 

these new features: 

* Updated maps on the distribution 

of dengue, a mosquitoborne 

disease usually found in the 

tropics, which has been increasing 

internationally and was seen in 

southern Florida in 2009 for the 

first time in 75 years. 

* What to expect if you're traveling 

during an international disease 

outbreak 

* Larger and more detailed 

maps for yellow fever and malaria, 

which can sometimes affect only 

certain parts of countries. 

* Tips for travel to mass gatherings 

such as the Hajj pilgrimage 

and sporting events like Olympics 

or World Cup 

* Prevention of traveler's diarrhea 

– it's not only what you eat 

and drink, but also other factors 

including how your food is prepared 

and where you eat. 

The Yellow Book is published 

in hard copy by Oxford University 

Press, and is now available at 

bookstores, through Internet book 

sellers, or by contacting Oxford. 

It will also be available as an ebook, 

a digitally downloadable 

book for e-readers and iPads, 

online. The content will also be

Lakers have decisions 

to make this offseason 

PRO SPORTS: After an early 

exit from the playoffs, Lakers 

figure to look different next 

year. 

BY JAMES WILLIAMS, 

CONTRIBUTOR 

The Lakers' season may have 

ended but there were a lot of questions 

that were left unanswered. 

The Lakers have been used to 

playing in June but fell short this 

year. The loss may have been a 

good thing for the Lakers, when it 

comes down to it. 

The Lakers will be well rested 

and get back to 100% as the next 

season begins. The Lakers were not 

able to get the rest last year after 

making it to the NBA finals and 

having their season finish on June 

17 rather than on May 8 like it did 

this year. 

Also during the 2010 off-season, 

Lamar Odom was playing as a 

captain with Team USA and the 

Lakers were playing in exhibition 

games against international teams. 

Some of the older Lakers will 

take full advantage of their time off 

this year. Kobe Bryant said he 

plans to use the off season as a time 

to rest and to get stronger. 

Bryant usually would use the 

off-season as a time to undergo surgeries, 

which he had avoided during 

the season, or to do other 

events. This summer, Bryant has 

no significant injuries and no other 

concerns other than to rest and get 

healthy. 

One of the bigger questions 

going into the off-season is who 

will be the new head coach now 

that Phil Jackson plans to step 

away and retire. As of now there is 

nothing but speculation among 

fans as to who the Lakers will bring 

in and interview for the job. 

"I'm looking forward to Brian 

Shaw, since he is an ex-Laker," 

said Downey resident and Laker 

fan Carlos Mariscal. "I want to see 

how he'll coach Kobe and the 

team." 

Shaw, who was a former teammate 

of Kobe Bryant, is said to be 

the unofficial front runner for the 

head coaching job. Some of the 

other possible candidates for the 

position are Larry Brown, Jerry 

Sloan, Jeff Van Gundy, Mike 

Brown and Byron Scott. 

A new coach is on the top of the 

list when it comes to what the 

Lakers need to do, but another thing 

fans seems to be raving about as 

soon as the season ended was how 

they can improve for next season. 

Orlando Magic center Dwight 

Howard has been the main name 

that has been in this conversation 

in both the Orlando and Los 

Angeles media. This has since then 

opened up trade rumors of Bynum 

for Howard. 

"I really think Bynum’s actions 

[in Game 4] were unnecessary, and 

setting a bad example for L.A. 

Everything was just out of frustration." 

Mariscal added. 

The Lakers are set to have an 

off-season that will set the pace for 

the team for possibly the next five 

seasons. 

Whatever decisions the Lakers 

make can either improve them or 

knock them out of playoff contention 

as the team gets older.

Warren takes 

care of 

business 

DOWNEY – Keeping pace 

with rival Downey, Warren softball 

routed Gahr last Wednesday 

at home 12-1. 

Molly Odom and Arika 

Araujo both had 3-hit games and 

accounted for 6 of the Bears’ 12 

runs. Franny Vaaulu pitched five 

innings, stiking out six in the win. 

In a sloppy game, Warren 

softball slipped by Paramount 2-1 

at home, last Thursday. The Bears 

committed four errors, but were 

able to keep Paramount’s bats 

quiet behind Franny Vaaulu’s 10strikeout 

performance. Vaaulu 

also helped out her cause by driving 

in 1 of the Bears’ runs, the 

other run being driven in by 

Stephanie Lopez. 

It took extra innings and two 

extra inning rallies for Warren 

softball to steal one at home 

against La Mirada in a 10-9 win, 

Saturday. Both teams were tied at 

5-5 before La Mirada scored 3 

runs in the top of the ninth inning. 

Warren responded with a 3-run 

bottom half of the inning, then 

scored twice in the 10th after La 

Mirada scored a go-ahead run in 

the top half. Molly Odom, 

Amanda Vallejo, Stephanie 

Olivas, and Arianna Palomares all 

had three hits in the game, and 

Kendall Zarate pitched a complete 

game in the win. 

Warren softball shutout Gahr 

6-0 on the road, Tuesday to keep 

up with Downey going into the 

final game of the season against 

their town rivals. Warren 

scratched with 2 runs in the first 

inning and never looked back 

with Franny Vaaulu firing seven 

scoreless innings and striking out 

eight.

Downey nabs No. 3 

seed in playoffs 

BASEBALL: Win over Warren 

grants Vikings berth in CIF 

playoffs. 

BY SCOTT COBOS, 

STAFF WRITER 

DOWNEY – It’s been a long 

season for Downey baseball. It’s 

been sloppy. It’s been filled with 

mental mistakes and untimely 

errors. It’s been filled with bad 

pitches and ugly strikeouts. 

But in a true blue collar style, 

the Vikings managed to slip in as 

the No. 3 seed out of the San 

Gabriel Valley League with an 

extra inning 4-3 win over the 

rival Warren Bears on the road 

Tuesday afternoon. 

In the top half of the 10th 

inning, Downey catcher Yamel 

Delgado led off with a single to 

left field, moved to third base on 

a throwing error by Warren 

pitcher Christian Rodriguez who 

tried to pick off Delgado. 

Delgado then scored on a Randy 

Rubio single to left field, in an at 

bat that saw Rubio foul off six 

pitches to stay alive. 

The win not only gets 

Downey into the playoffs, but it 

all but wraps up Warren’s season 

with the Bears most likely not 

getting in as a wild card team. 

“It feels good,” Downey 

manager Jess Gonzalez said. 

“We just wanted to get in and 

have a chance. That’s what we 

did. The kids came up big and we 

got in.” 

After struggling all season 

long with mental mistakes, the 

Vikings came up big when it 

counted, not shooting themselves 

in the foot for once and grinding 

out a victory that gives them a 

chance to be a menace in the 

playoffs. 

“What we did was hit a cut 

off guy, and threw the guy out at 

second (in the seventh inning) 

and it ended the inning which 

was huge,” Gonzalez said. “No 

one really looks at that, but I did. 

But that was huge. They had all 

the momentum right there. 

“They would have had a runner 

at second with a guy at the 

plate to win the game. That was 

some of the things that we 

would’ve messed up on before. 

We would’ve bobbled it or it 

would’ve went by or we 

would’ve missed a cut off guy or 

whatever. So I was happy with 

that.” 

Gonzalez said that the mindset 

going into Tuesday’s game 

was to throw everything at 

Warren to win. Although his 

arsenal of arms were at the ready, 

starter David Espindola didn’t 

need much backup. 

In six innings of work, he 

allowed 2 runs, four hits, and 

struck out three. But what was 

impressive was his efficiency in 

getting batters out. In the first 

five innings, Espindola allowed 

only three base runners, and 

faced only 17 batters. 

It was the sixth inning where 

he ran into a little trouble with 

two outs. Warren’s Aaron 

Chavez and Juan Avena would 

both reach base on back-to-back 

singles, then would score after 

Daniel Dominguez ripped a 1-1 

curveball for a triple. 

Espindola would regroup 

though to get Matt Barela to fly 

out to right field to end the 

threat. 

“He pitched his butt off,” 

Gonzalez said about Espindola 

who has pitched well all year. 

“He pitched a great game.” 

Downey’s celebration would 

have to be put on hold though 

with Warren tying the score at 3 

runs a piece in the bottom of the 

seventh. Downey pitcher 

Anthony Cortez was called in to 

close the game but allowed a 

lead-off walk to Rodriguez. 

Cortez was immediately 

pulled after the walk, and Jared 

Gibson came in to close out the 

game. After striking out Warren’s 

Daniel Roman and Michael San 

Angelo, Rodriguez advanced to 

second on a wild pitch and then 

scored on a 2-strike single by 

Hugo Rodriguez. 

Hugo Rodriguez would be 

thrown out at second to end the 

inning and force bonus baseball. 

Gibson held down the fort 

though and picked up the win, 

propelling the Vikings into the 

playoffs and also leapfrogging 

the Bears. 

“I honestly don’t know if it’s 

going to happen with the way the 

records stand,” Warren manager 

Paul Alvarez said about possibly 

getting into the playoffs as a wild 

card team. 

“They might choose a 

stronger candidate for the atlarge 

bid. But you never know. 

You could always fill out the 

paper work and hope for the best. 

Anyone has a shot. It’s at-large 

for a reason. We just need to 

come back and put a W up on 

Thursday. If we do that then we 

have a possibility.” 

There were questions surrounding 

Christian Rodriguez’s 

outing although he pitched well. 

He all but pitched a complete 

game, going 9 1/3 innings, but 

throwing over 140 pitches. 

“He was getting it done,” 

Alvarez said. “He was getting 

outs. Realistically, had we 

played the way we should’ve and 

minimized the errors, he 

would’ve had a 2-0 victory after 

seven [innings]. But baseball 

being the way it is, you have to 

play all seven, or in this case all 

10. 

“He was still getting outs. He 

was still effective and we were 

riding him until unfortunately 

the wheels came off.” 

Christian Rodriguez allowed 

all 4 runs, struck out three, 

walked four, and hit three batters 

in his outing. 

Downey and Warren face off 

one more time Thursday at 

Downey. Game time is 3:15 p.m. 

As of press time Downey’s 

record was 11-14 (7-7) and 

Warren’s was 11-11 (6-8). 

Warren boys’ volleyball clinched it’s first San Gabriel Valley League championship in 15 years, going a perfect 10- 

0 and assuring themselves a first-round home game in the CIF playoffs. The Bears led by head coach Brad Simmons 

and assistant coach Christopher Hoodye finish the season ranked No. 9 in CIF’s Div. III rankings.

Film festival set for Long Beach 

LONG BEACH – The second 

annual Hope and Freedom Film 

Festival returns on Saturday, May 

21, and begins at 10 a.m. in the Art 

Theater at 2025 East 4th Street in 

Long Beach. Admission is free. 

The mission of the Hope and 

Freedom Film Festival is to help 

create a society where all individuals 

have equal rights, according to 

Festival Director Kevin Johnson. 

“The festival encourages submissions 

that further the broad 

goals of ensuring political, social, 

educational and economic equality 

for all people,” explained Johnson, 

a faculty member in the 

Communication Studies 

Department at Cal State Long 

Beach. “The festival seeks to 

reward entries from all skill levels 

that use the power of cinema to 

inspire hope in the pursuit of freedom 

from hatred, discrimination 

and oppressive conditions.” 

Topics of this year’s films 

include the rebirth of the hip-hop 

nation, the struggles of transgendered 

people and such documentaries 

as “Killing Memories,” which 

follows five veterans who return to 

Vietnam in order to cope with 

wartime traumas. Several of the 

screenings will be followed by 

question-and-answer sessions with 

the filmmakers and cast of the 

films. 

Johnson hopes to generate 

awareness and organization for 

struggles facing people around the 

world today. “This festival’s goal is 

to create an environment where 

people can come together, have fun, 

and celebrate,” he said. “We want 

to create a climate of fun and cooperation 

that encourages working 

together to make society a better 

place to live.” 

He also hopes the festival will 

help to expose area residents to new 

ideas. “The festival is an opportunity 

for audiences to find a new perspective 

on the world. This year, 

the festival will highlight a 2010 

documentary titled ‘Finding Kind’ 

about girl-on-girl bullying. Issues 

like these are not often covered by 

mainstream mass media, and I 

measure this festival’s success by 

exposure to ideas like these.” 

Johnson said he measures the 

festival’s success by several variables. 

“One thing I hope for is 

greater visibility for such documentaries 

as happened last year with 

‘Humble Beauty,’ an hour-long film 

that tells the stories of a group of 

talented homeless and formerly 

homeless men and women who create 

art -- fine arts painting – on Los 

Angeles’ Skid Row,” he pointed 

out. 

The goal for the festival is simple 

– to create a good event. 

“Eventually,” Johnson said, “our 

vision for this event is to have a 

double-stage film, arts and music 

festival that would extend all the 

way down 4th Street from Junipero 

to Cherry.” 

Karen Volpe, a veteran actress who has appeared in theaters throughout the 

country, will star as Fanny Brice in "Funny Girl," opening June 2 at the 

Downey Theatre. She previously appeared with the Downey Civic Light 

Opera as Ado Annie in "Oklahoma" and Sister Robert Anne in "Nunsense." 

For tickets to "Funny Girl," call (562) 923-1714. Group rates are available.

National Ballet of Cuba 

performing locally 

Ballet to perform excerpts 

from classical works 

of the 19th century. 

COSTA MESA – The 

National Ballet of Cuba will be at 

the Segerstrom Center in Costa 

Mesa where they will present 

"The Magic of Dance" June 15- 

19. 

"The Magic of Dance" is a 

collection of excerpts from classical 

ballet works of the 19th century, 

including "Swan Lake," 

"Giselle," "Coppelia," "The 

Sleeping Beauty," "Don Quixote," 

"The Nutcracker" and 

"Gottschalk Symphony." 

The compilation program is 

choreographed by Alicia Alonso, 

the company's founder. 

Formed in 1948, the company 

occupies a prominent place in 

Hispanic and international ballet 

culture. The tiny island of Cuba 

has produced one of the foremost 

schools of ballet, which has 

trained all of the company’s 

dancers. 

As National Ballet of Cuba’s 

artistic director for more than six 

decades, Alonso has honed the 

company’s style to perfection 

which has helped produce many 

of the world’s top dancers. 

“Brilliant dancers seem to be the 

norm in the Ballet Nacional de 

Cuba, which regularly produces 

international stars,” noted the 

New York Times. 

Free Preview Talks conducted 

by dance critic, columnist and 

writer Gary Smith will be held 

one hour prior to the performances 

on June 15, 16, 18 and 19. 

On June 17 at 6 p.m., a special 

encore presentation of a lecture- 

demonstration, Inside Dance, will 

be presented to give patrons the 

opportunity to learn more about 

the transformation of dance technique 

and style from classical to 

contemporary. Local dancers will 

perform excerpts and Cyrus 

Parker-Jeannette, Interim 

Associate Dean of the College of 

the Arts at California State 

University, Long Beach, will 

moderate the discussion. Preview 

events are free to all ticketholders. 

History 

The National Ballet of Cuba is 

one of the most prestigious dance 

companies in the world and it 

occupies an important place in 

modern Latin-American culture. 

The artistic and technical rigor of 

its dancers, and the breadth and 

diversity of the choreographic 

aesthetic grants this company a 

notable place among the greatest 

dance institutions on the international 

stage. 

From the beginning, the artistic 

lineage of the National Ballet 

of Cuba was based on the classic 

and romantic dance tradition, 

while at the same time the company 

encouraged creative, contemporary 

work from choreographers. 

Already at this early stage, 

the production of complete classic 

works like Giselle, Swan Lake 

and Coppélia, and the renewal of 

the Russian ballets presented by 

Sergei Diághilev’s Ballet Russe, 

such as Petruschka and Afternoon 

of a Faun, was accompanied by 

new works from Cuban choreographers. 

The revolution in 1959 

marked the beginning of a new 

era for Cuban ballet. That year, as 

part of the new cultural program, 

the company was renamed the 

National Ballet of Cuba, and has 

continued its artistic ascent ever 

since, enriching its repertory, promoting 

the development of new 

dancers, choreographers, professors 

and creative talents from 

related disciplines, such as graphic 

arts and music. 

In addition to its robust work 

in Cuba, where the National 

Ballet of Cuba has been successful 

in popularizing the art of ballet, 

the company has developed 

an annual program of international 

tours throughout Europe, Asia 

and the Americas. 

Alicia Alonso 

Alicia Alonso is a prominent 

figure in ballet whose choreographic 

rendering of great classic 

dances have gained international 

renown. She was born in Havana 

where she started her ballet training 

in 1931. She traveled to the 

United States to continue her 

studies at the School of American 

Ballet. Alonso's professional 

career began in 1938, on 

Broadway, with her debut in 

Great Lady and Stars in Your 

Eyes. She joined the American 

Ballet Caravan, the predecessor 

of the current New York City 

Ballet and in 1940, she became a 

member of American Ballet 

Theatre. During this time, she 

worked with choreographers 

Mikhail Fokine, George 

Balanchine, Leonide Massine, 

Bronislava Nijinska, Anthony 

Tudor, Jerome Robbins and 

Agnes de Mille. 

Alonso also performed leading 

roles in world premieres of 

Undertow, Fall River Legend and 

Theme and Variations. 

In 1948, Alonso's interest in 

developing ballet in Cuba led her 

to organize the Ballet Alicia 

Alonso, now called the National 

Ballet of Cuba. After its founding, 

Alonso divided her time between 

American Ballet Theatre and her 

own company. Alonso's choreographic 

versions of the great classics 

have been performed by 

major companies such as the 

Opéra de Paris (Giselle, Grand 

Pas de Quatre and The Sleeping 

Beauty), Vienna Opéra, Naples 

San Carlo Ballet Theatre 

(Giselle), Prague Opéra (La Fille 

Mal Gardée), Teatro alla Scala 

(The Sleeping Beauty) and the 

Royal Danish Ballet (Don 

Quixote). 

Alonso has received numerous 

awards and distinctions including 

the Commendation of Isabel la 

Católica Order, given by Spain’s 

King Juan Carlos I; Gold Medal 

from the Círculo de Bellas Artes 

of Madrid; France’s Arts and 

Lettres Order - Commander 

Degree, Prix Benois de la Danse 

for her lifetime artistic contributions 

and the José Martí Order, 

the most important decoration of 

the Cuban Council of State. She 

was selected as a Republic of 

Cuba Ambassador by the Cuban 

Ministry of Foreign Affairs and 

recently became a UNESCO 

Goodwill Ambassador. 

Tickets to see the National 

Ballet of Cuba start at $17 and are 

available now at SCFTA.org, at 

the Box Office at 600 Town 

Center Drive in Costa Mesa or by

OK as-is 

DOWNEY – After reviewing 

information from the 2010 Census, 

the city of Downey will not be 

required to redraw its district 

boundary lines, city officials 

announced this week.

populations while not discriminating 

against a minority group. 

Downey has four districts (not 

counting the city-wide district 5) 

with an average population of 

about 27,000 residents each. 

District 1 in southeast Downey 

has the lowest population with 

26,942 residents and District 3 in 

northwest Downey has the most 

with 29,058, according to Census 

information. 

Daniel S. Gutierrez-Escobedo, a Downey resident and 2010 graduate of 

Warren High School, graduated May 6 from Marine Corps basic training in 

San Diego as a Private First Class with 1st Battalion Charlie Company 

Platoon No. 1050. While in basic training, Daniel received his marksmanship 

badge of Rifle Expert. He will continue as a Private First Class and go 

on to his next training assignment. While on his 10-day leave, he will spend 

time with family and also spend time mentoring Boy Scouts of South Gate 

Troop No. 468, where Daniel began his scouting experience at age 6. Daniel 

is the brother of Christian Gutierrez-Escobedo and Jasmine Gutierrez- 

Escobedo, and the son of Carlos and Diana Gutierrez, also of Downey.

Rancho’s Amistad Gala is emotional and record-setting 

Amazing patient stories and 

announcement of Dr. Jacquelin 

Perry Legacy Society are gala 

highlights. 

BY GREG WASKUL, 

RANCHO LOS AMIGOS FOUNDATION 

DOWNEY – Three patients 

who made remarkable recoveries 

and the physician who has done 

more to help rehabilitation patients 

recover than any other shared the 

spotlight last Saturday at the 25th 

Annual Rancho Los Amigos 

Amistad Gala at the Westin Long 

Beach Hotel. 

Nearly 500 people attended the 

sold-out black-tie affair that raised 

more than $200,000 for the patients 

of Rancho. This was 30 percent 

more than had ever been raised at an 

Amistad Gala. 

“Tonight was about the patients 

and the legacy of our beloved Dr. 

Jacquelin Perry,” said Rancho Los 

Amigos President Gene Klow. Dr. 

Perry and Los Angeles County 

Fourth District Supervisor Don 

Knabe were the honorary co-chairs 

of the Amistad Gala. Julie Knabe, 

Connie Martinez, Beverly Mathis 

and Debbie Tomlinson were the 

event chairs. 

The Silver Anniversary Amistad 

Gala transformed the Westin 

Ballroom into a beautiful setting 

with chairs and tables covered in 

black fabric and a spectacular silver 

overlay bringing the tables to life. 

Centerpieces and floral sprays created 

by Mia Vasquez of Saywell 

Florist highlighted the event colors 

of black, silver, red and purple. 

Dramatic lighting added a touch of 

class. Even the salads, which were 

served in martini glasses, added to 

the ambiance. 

After the gorgeous surroundings 

set an elegant tone for the evening, 

the attendees’ hearts were touched 

by the incredible comeback stories 

of patients Rita Assoian, Zinthia 

Alvarado and Jerry Cavazos, which 

were presented in a series of videos 

created by the Rancho Los Amigos 

Foundation staff. Each of their stories 

have been featured in recent 

issues of the Patriot. 

First up was Rita Assoian, the 

remarkable young woman who 

overcame being hit by a car traveling 

90 miles per hour to return to 

the track team at Glendale 

Community College. Resplendent 

in a khaki gown, her bright smile 

lighting up the room, Rita was 

accompanied to the gala by her 

mother Halina Esho, father Vartan 

Assoian and her best friend, Diana 

Bakchajian. 

After a long ovation at the conclusion 

of her video, Rita was called 

to the stage by Supervisor Knabe. “I 

am humbled to be here tonight with 

those who not only gave me back 

my life, but have done it for thousands 

of others,” she said. “Rancho 

is the best, and I am here to tell you 

that I feel as if I am a walking miracle.” 

Rita came to Rancho in a halo 

device after being stabilized at Los 

Angeles County-USC Medical 

Center. She spent 22 days in a 

coma after breaking 15 bones, 

including her neck and three vertebrae. 

She also suffered a major 

brain injury. Although her initial 

prognosis was grim, Rita beat the 

odds, thanks to her hard work and a 

Rancho treatment team that never 

gave up on her. She also had 

tremendous support from her family 

and friends, who were at Rancho 

encouraging her 24 hours a day. 

“Now I am back on the track 

and running faster than ever, and I 

have set my life goal high,” Rita 

said. “I want to become a doctor 

and return to Rancho to take care of 

other patients the way Rancho took 

care of me.” 

Next up was Zinthia, an 

extremely talented artist, photographer 

and fashion designer who 

overcame a spinal cord injury and 

severe depression to create the 

remarkable “Bella Unique,” a painting 

of great beauty and emotional 

impact that graces the cover of the 

current Art of Rancho Book. 

Zinthia’s bridge to independence 

was built on the strength of 

several key Rancho programs, 

including the Adolescent Support 

Group, the Don Knabe Pediatric 

Arts Program and the KnowBarriers 

Patient Achievement program. 

Along the way, she also rebuilt her 

self-esteem, which was lost when a 

drunk driver smashed his bus into 

the car in which Zinthia was riding, 

leaving her with paraplegia and 

unable to walk. 

Instead of focusing on what she 

couldn’t do and being frustrated by 

her situation, Rancho helped 

Zinthia learn to love her wheelchair 

and put her limitless creativity to 

work. For example, at Amistad, 

Zinthia showed off her fashion 

design abilities by designing and 

making her dazzling white evening 

gown and earrings for the occasion. 

The Foundation created minimasterpieces 

and posters of 

Zinthia’s signature “Bella Unique” 

painting that were given to each 

guest at the event. 

“Zinthia has amazing talent,” 

Supervisor Knabe said. “I have gotten 

to know her over the last few 

years, and I am always impressed 

with the creative vision she brings 

to everything she does, whether it 

be painting, photography or fashion. 

She is a wonderful young 

woman, and I am proud to call her 

my friend.” 

“Today I love myself,” Zinthia 

said. “Rancho has given me the 

tools I need to succeed, and I am 

ready to make my dreams come 

true.” 

Then it was Jerry Cavazos’ turn. 

After a video chronicled his comeback 

from a devastating stroke that 

incapacitated his right side and left 

him unable to play the saxophone 

that had been his passion and the 

centerpiece of his music career, 

Jerry took the stage and began to 

play his beloved horn…one-handed! 

Playing in front of 500 people 

with powerful stage lights in his 

eyes wouldn’t be easy. It was by far 

the most people Jerry had played for 

since he had his stroke in 2004. But 

Saturday night, he scratched his 

seven-year itch. 

For the first few seconds of his 

performance, nothing came out of 

his saxophone but air. In a sense, it 

was a metaphor for the struggle 

every Rancho patient makes to 

overcome their catastrophic disabling 

illness or injury. 

The audience fell completely 

silent. Then Jerry found his groove 

as he played a special arrangement 

of Barry White’s “Love Theme”. 

With each succeeding riff, the 

crowd applauded louder. The tones 

from his saxophone were crystal 

clear and exceptionally beautiful. 

Tears streamed down the faces of 

many attendees as they witnessed 

the results of a Rancho miracle firsthand. 

When he finished, the crowd 

rose and cheered him with a twominute 

standing ovation. 

“This was one of the greatest 

moments in my life,” Jerry said. “I 

am so thankful that Rancho gave me 

my life back. My therapists and 

doctors told me I could play my 

horn again, and I believed them. 

And tonight, my comeback is complete.” 

“These patient stories are amazing,” 

said Rancho CEO Jorge 

Orozco. “Each worked very hard 

with their Rancho treatment teams 

to define their own personal journey. 

Today we are working to 

assure that future generations of 

Rancho patients have the very best 

chance to regain as much ability as 

possible.” 

“We are reinventing rehabilitation 

medicine, just as Rancho did 

twice before in the 1950s and 

1970s, he said. “We are creating an 

enhanced medical home so that 

everyone with disabilities will have 

the best place in the world to get 

help when they need it.” 

One person who has been there 

through all the years of Rancho 

clinical leadership is Jacquelin 

Perry, MD, who has been treating 

patients and doing important 

research at Rancho since 1955. Her 

work is renowned throughout the 

world. She has dedicated most of 

her life to Rancho’s patients and to 

advancing the state of the art of 

Rehabilitation Medicine. 

The final event of the evening 

was indeed the most important—the 

announcement of the establishment 

of the Rancho Los Amigos 

Foundation’s Dr. Jacquelin Perry 

Legacy Society. 

“This will provide our donors 

and friends an excellent way to give 

to Rancho through a bequest or 

estate, after they have provided for 

their family,” Gene said. “With all 

the cutbacks in funding from government 

sources, the foundation 

will play an increasingly important 

role in the work of the hospital. 

“I am very proud to be associated 

with this important effort,” said 

Dr. Perry. I support the work of the 

Foundation, which is needed to provide 

the special programs for our 

patients that help restore their selfesteem 

and assist them in moving 

forward with their lives.” 

Dr. Perry also made a surprise 

announcement, donating $40,000 to 

launch the Legacy Society. BP 

America’s General Manager of 

West Coast External Affairs Matt 

Rezvani then made a $10,000 gift to 

bring the total for the evening to 

$50,000 for the Legacy Society. 

“We thank Dr. Perry for her ded-

Assoian and her mom Helena Esho. 

ication to Rancho and its patients 

and for always supporting the 

Foundation,” Gene said. “We are 

very proud to know that her name 

will now be forever linked with the 

Foundation’s efforts to support 

Rancho, and we thank her and BP 

America for the gifts that inaugurate 

the Dr. Jacquelin Perry Legacy 

Society.” 

As the audience streamed out of 

the event, most had moist eyes from 

the events they had just witnessed. 

“I don’t think there was anybody 

who attended the Amistad 

Gala who didn’t know why they 

were there,” Supervisor Knabe said. 

“From Rita to Zinthia to Jerry to Dr. 

Perry, our hearts were touched as 

we experienced first-hand the miracles 

that happen at Rancho each and 

every day!”

Downey resident Shirley Johnson, who also operates Worldwide Airport 

Shuttle/Medical Transfers, visited England last month for the royal wedding 

of Prince William and Kate Middleton. "I was standing on Whitehall 

around the corner from Westminster Abbey and saw the bands and the 

wedding procession," Johnson tells the Patriot. "I walked up the Mall to 

Buckingham Palace the day before the wedding and took this picture, in 

front of the gates of the palace. I attended services in Westminster Abbey 

two days after the wedding and walked down the same aisle and was 30 feet 

from the altar where they were married and heard the Abbey's famous 

choir." Johnson goes on: "London was electric with excitement. Parties 

throughout the streets, flags everywhere and all the pubs were open with 

the wide-screen TVs going and people camping on the wedding route. 

What a non-stop party...and no rain in sight!" 

Jeannie Wood, a Downey resident and ambassador with the Downey 

Chamber of Commerce, took a copy of The Downey Patriot with her on a 

vacation last week to Wilber, Neb.
