On the third day “Petie” won herself a brand new Cadillac at the Colorado Belle and gave credit to her friend Minnie for being her good luck charm. Said Petie, “First she invited me to go on the trip, secondly, she wanted to have dinner at the Colorado Belle” where a few years earlier, one of the ladies who had gone on a previous trip with the El Sereno Senior Center had won a car at the Penny Slots at the Edge Water Casino. Their retirement from coaching Cheerleading at Wilson H.S. has marked the end of an era for Laura Juarez-Williams and Gustavo Rodriguez. After coaching together for the last 23 years, Laura and Gustavo “Gus” have decided to retire from Wilson H.S. Cheer Squad. They began coaching together at El Sereno J.H.S. in 1988. Mrs. Juarez-Williams had been coaching and choreographing for 11 years, when Gus began, as a volunteer to coach and choreograph for the El Sereno J.H.S. Cheerleaders. Together, they formed the “L.A. Spirit Cheer Squad,” which was one of the first “all-star” cheer teams in El Sereno. Later, in 1993, they moved to Wilson H.S. and coached two L.A Spirit teams and Wilson H.S. concurrently for two years. The name of L.A. Spirit was changed to L.A.’s Pride Cheer squad as the team was handed over to assistant coach, Takia Fox. Takia Fox later changed the name to Pride All-Stars, which is now coached by Sarah Fong. Many of their former cheerleaders have moved on to coach their own teams. On May 3rd, Petie and Minnie went to eat breakfast at the Colorado Belle. After breakfast Minnie asked Petie what she wanted to do. She said kidding, “You know I want to win the Cadillac!”, so they proceeded to play. A few minutes later the machine started to make a lot of noise and Petie noticed that she might have won a jackpot, but did not know how big. The slots supervisor indeed confirmed that Petie had really won the car. Congratulations and enjoy the Cadillac Petie. Summer Day Camp at El Sereno Park The last day of school for LAUSD is Friday, June 24th, which means Summer Day Camp is upon us once again at El Sereno Recreation Center. Registration begins June 1st. and has a one-time fee of $20. The first weekly camp session begins Monday, June 27th and continues through Friday, August 26th. Weekly Camp fee is $70 with camp running daily Monday-Friday 9am-4pm. Extended Care is available for an additional $15 per week. Extended Care is from 7:30am-9am & 4pm-6pm. Summer lunch program is provided to campers which includes a snack. Trips are not included in the price of camp. Field trips are not mandatory but there is no camp on field trip days. You can check the camp calendar at the time of registering for a list of field trip locations, field trip dates and fees scheduled for 2011. A camp shirt is provided for trip days and the park has a strict rule of “no shirt no trip” that is enforced for your child’s safety. Activities on this year’s calendar are music, art, games, sports, hikes, cooking, swimming, crafts and nature walks. I’ve done comparisons when it comes to child care during the summer months and most family day cares charge a minimum of $100 and other day camps at other organizations or establishments run more than $150 week and often do not include the types of activities (especially swimming) that are provided for at El Sereno Recreation Center. The chance from my son to explore major city attractions is also a great way to exposure him to culture and create wonderful childhood memories. As a working mom it is important how my son spends his time when I’m not available for him. He has attended each year since first grade and every time he looks forward to all the “cool” things he’ll get to do at El Sereno Park. His favorite is still from the year that the camp performed Grease. For more information call (323) 225.3517. Cardio Kickboxing classes are being held for participants 15 years or older at El Sereno Recreation Center on Mondays & Fridays 8p-9p. Monthly fee is $25.00 Annette Cruz Summer School Offered at All Saints All Saints Catholic School is offering a four-week summer school program this year.

Cheer Squad has been a long and successful one. and the Team motto of, “Discipline, Determination and Dedication” has been the key to it’s success. Wilson High School Cheer Squad is a nationally ranked team and has been since the late ’90’s. Both Laura and Gustavo were named the first California State “Coaches of the Year” in 1999. This was awarded by the Golden State Spirit Association, an association of Cheer Coaches in the Western United States. The pair has been named in the “Who’s Who” of American High School Cheerleading Coaches, from 1999 until the present. Many Wilson H.S. Alumni have assisted in Coaching Wilson H.S. throughout the years. Jennifer Marez has coached for a total of five years and she too, will be retiring. Gustavo Rodriguez will continue his teaching career at Wilson H.S. and plans on adopting a child. Laura Juarez-Williams will continue teaching at Wilson H.S. until she retires in a few years and looks forward to spending more time with her family and visiting her grandchildren in Pennsylvania. Tumbling coach, Michael Serrano is coaching at Victory Cheer in Pasadena. Taking the reins of the Wilson H.S. Cheer Squad is Krystle Corral and will be assisted by her brother, Robby Corral. These two are professional cheerleader instructors and hail from Texas.

Visit them online at www.frescomarkets.com community | BENEFIT Project Pink Benefit at The Barber House Monique Barraza is no stranger to El Sereno especially since she has been setting up her pop up shop every Friday evening at the El Sereno Farmer’s Market for over a year now. Monique’s array of ribbons, bows, socks and other fashion accessories raises money for her Abigail Barraza Foundation. Her foundation was named after her mother and was featured in Our Town’s October 2010 issue for Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Last month, one of her client’s struck interest on Our Town’s Facebook page where an auction raised a considerable donation for an individual in need. Recently she did a Comedy Night fundraiser at Ambiente in Alhambra. And because this woman never stops, Monique is again involved in another great awareness event, this time spreading her “diva-ness” to Lincoln Heights. A couple of food trucks are participating in the June 11th event including Paradise Cookies. Live DJ sets from DJ Javi and DJ Tonz will also be on hand. Please come out to support this wonderful cause. For more information contact Monique at [email protected] or visit her website at www.abigailbarrazafoundation.org Welcome Project Pink - a benefit to support The Abigail Barraza Foundation and Locks of Love. The event is being held at The Barber House, a new hair studio for men and women, in Lincoln Heights located at 204 S. Avenue 20 on Saturday, June 11 from 12pm to 7pm. The Barber House is owned by Lincoln High School alumni, Hector Solis. Just like Monique, Hector lost his mom to cancer and always feels the need to give back. The custom painted mural on the wall inside his barber shop has a pink and purple awareness bow embedded in it. It helps keep the memories of lost loved ones close to heart and as a community to remember to help those in need. The two met through a woman who recently went into her remission in her own battle with cancer. And to put something together like this awareness event makes natural sense to all involved. Locks of Love is a public non-profit organization that provides hairpieces to financially disadvantaged children in the United States and Canada under age 21 suffering from long-term medical hair loss from any diagnosis. The hair length donation minimum is 10 inches. Monique says pink hair extensions will also be available at the event for $10. A sweet treat bar provided by Madalyn’s Cupcakes is also in on the good deeds. Madayln’s is owned by Kris Lara and based out of Pasadena. All the businesses involved in Project Pink are local Latino owned businesses and their common goal is to raise awareness in the neighborhoods in which they grew up in. So far it’s working as support bridges are building in the Northeast. Story and Photo BY Annette Cruz - Our Town El Sereno 5 community | CHAMPIONS WILSON MULES CROWNED CITY CHAMPIONS he Wilson Varsity baseball team, in their biggest game of the year, played their best Ttrophy game at historic Dodgers Stadium and are bringing the City Section Championship home to El Sereno. Andrew Urbina, a Junior, was the winning pitcher by only allowing 2 hits the entire game against the Huskies of North Hollywood High School. Having dedicated the game to his younger brother Isaiah, who passed away 3 years ago due to a rare brain disease, Andrew’s performance on the mound was spectacular and memorable. He shared these comments, ”I always talk to Isaiah before a game asking him to be with me and not let anything bad happen to my teammates. My Dad told me that if I get really nervous before the game, to just pray with Isaiah and that’s what I did. I am so happy for all of my teammates because we all played so well. It was crazy looking up at the stands behind our dugout and seeing so many people watching us play and rooting us on. We had like twice the amount of fans compare to North Hollywood. It was a good feeling walking up the stairs after the game and shaking everyone’s hands and I’m just so happy that Isaiah helped me and I really wish he was there with me because he would of been clapping for all of us. This is something I am never going to forget because not too many people get the opportunity of playing in Dodgers Stadium and say we won the Championship.” It was a memorable game for this gritty Wilson team and their defense was excellent especially during some key innings when the Huskies were threatening. Second baseman Chris Tovar and shortstop Steve Jauregui made several outstanding plays and First baseman Rudy Aispuro amazed the fans by doing the splits when catching the ball. There were at least four close plays at first base and it was Rudy’s stretching ability that resulted in several important outs. Then there is third baseball Angel Araujo who finished the game with 2 hits and scored the second run after hitting a monster shot to left center that resulted in a triple. Martin Vasquez, Wilson’s other pitcher, played a vital role in getting his team to the Championship game when he pitched in the quarterfinal game against Dorsey High School. Saturday’s victory was a team effort and the entire team played awesome and they should feel very proud of this accomplishment. On behalf of Our Town El Sereno, the entire El Sereno Community, Wilson High School, and most importantly the many young fans who you have inspired, we applaud you in playing a great game and for doing a great job in representing your community well. Congratulations to Head Coach Fidel Cataño and the coaching staff for all their hard work throughout the year and for guiding the Wilson High School Varsity Baseball Team to the 2011 City Section Division II Championship – a very well deserved honor.

We’re excited to let our readers know about El Sereno’s 1st Gourmet Food Truck Event which took place Saturday, May 21st in the Portola Pharmacy Parking Lot, located at 5014 Huntington Drive South. From great music lifting you with high energy, to gourmet food filling a satisfied stomach, this event had every element for a great time. The event, Band Together for Wilson High School Gourmet Food Truck Festival, is the first of many to raise funds for Wilson’s High School’s Music Department. This important cause, sponsored by Our Town El Sereno, Dining with Anthony and Deidre, Councilmember Jose Huizar, Xokotatl Cafe, and Cal State LA Federal Credit Union, was a great turn out for all. There was so much buzz for the event, it immediately drew a crowd minutes before the scheduled start. We were excited to see so many “foodies” from all over Los Angeles come to El Sereno and participate in tasting delicious food, while listening to great sounds from talented musicians. The gourmet trucks that took part of this great event were: The Grilled Cheese Truck, Lardon, Mambo Juice and Cupcakes A Go Go. We especially enjoyed free refreshing beverages and hot chocolate samples from our local Xokolatl Cafe and the Lipton Brisk Ice Tea Street Team. Adding to the excitement, in attendance was the honorable men from Fire Station 47, their presence fired up the already spirited crowd. As the event went into its first hour, opening band, Dig Jelly, took the stage and rocked the party. This alternative metal rock band consists of powerful songstress, Rayko, rocket charged bass player, Rain Balen, heavy handed drum player, Joey Felix, and impressive lead guitarist, Bobby Lochner.

Music director, Brian Hollet, lead aweinspiring talented youth with an amazing performance. We enjoyed the band’s rendition of Metallica’s, “For Whom The Bell Tolls”. The last performance, The Head Lite View, was performed with lots of electrifying heart by a trio of fun brothers, Omar, Eppie and Leo Cabral. Their energetic sounds filled the night air with some awesome alternative rock’n roll.

It was May 7, 2011 the 35th Golden Gate Bridging Ceremony, where Junior Girl Scouts bridge to Cadette, the next level of scouting. Only 3,184 Junior Girl Scouts and 1,936 troop leaders participated in this event from 14 different states. It could not have been a more perfect morning. The sun was shining, the sky was a crisp beautiful blue, a perfect 70-degree day and it would not have been San Francisco without a slight windy day. The girls woke up bright and early, excited for the day ahead. A day we had only talked about for the past five years. We planned, we fundraised and we had fun in the process. The girls learned a lot about themselves and their Girl Scout sisters in all the events, workshops and outings leading up to this day. Seven girls: Celine, Elizabeth, Janelle, Katelyn, Lauren, Rachel, Viviana and their families made the trip to sun shine city, San Francisco. We traveled all the way from our little beloved town, El Sereno. Unfortunately two other girls, Fayth & Sabrina, would not make the trip. The girls prepared mentally for the 1.7 mile walk but never did they expect to have so much fun. They packed sweaters, hats, water bottles, and snacks and put on their specially made shirts. The shuttle picked us up at the Radisson Fisherman’s Wharf Hotel. It drove us to the north end of the bridge. We checked in and were free to walk and S.W.A.P.S. with hundreds of other Junior Girl Scouts. S.W.A.P.S. translates to “Special Whatchamacallits Affectionately Pinned Somewhere”, it represents the event, displays the event date, the troop number, the city and it’s made by each Girl Scout with their special touch, a keepsake if you will. A girl scout trades her S.W.A.P.S.to another girl scout for her S.W.A.P.S. At the north end of the bridge we met troops from Huntington Beach, San Diego and Oakland. So many new friends and so many cute S.W.A.P.S.! Each year the NorCal Girl Scout Council sponsors this event. The staff and security themselves prepare S.W.A.P.S. to trade with the girls. I thought it was funny when we came to the second tower of the bridge for short break only to have the security ask, “Do have any S.W.A.P.S.?” His orange vest was covered with S.W.A.P.S., ours would add to his collection. complete the 1.7 mile walk on San Francisco’s Golden Gate Bridge. Never had this walk been so meaningful. One girl in particular, Lauren, had a bright idea. After having the wind knock off her baseball cap more than a few times, she tied her scarf to her baseball cap on one end and tied the other end to her backpack. Once the wind knocked off the baseball cap a couple more times, she pulled her baseball cap like a fish line to retrieve it. I was surprised to have my husband, Alex, and my son, Thomas, meet us at the second tower of the Golden Gate Bridge. Two other troop parents, Cesar & Martin, along with Rachel’s brother, Cesar, cheered us on as we came to the end of the bridge. A perfect family picnic followed to culminate this beautiful day. As I look back on this day the only thing missing to make this trip special are my three Daises: Anna, Isabel and Natalie, my two Brownies: Elizabeth and Marisa, my four Juniors: Alyssa, Fayth, Mary and Sabrina, and my one Cadette: Zoe, who bridged in San Francisco just one year earlier. To think I only started with six Daisy Girl Scouts five years ago and now my troop is plentiful. My girls and their families hold a special place in my heart; I love each and every one of them. Being their troop leader has been the best experience in my life, I would not trade that for anything. Veronica R. Mercado - Girls Scout Troop Leader Troop 7711 The walk on the bridge was fun, windy as you can imagine and a memory my girls will have forever.
