La Mirada~That's more like it.
Just a few days after a pathetic two-hit day at the plate against Lakewood, La Mirada High School stormed back to rout visiting El Dorado, 13-4, in Tuesday's third round of the Loara Baseball Tournament.
It took only the third game for the Matadores (2-1), the Los Angeles Times' No. 20 pre-season squad and the Whittier Daily News' No. 2, to reach their low point of the season after giving up three runs in the first inning to the Golden Hawks following an 11-0 rout to Lakewood. But just like that, the black clouds lifted and La Mirada put on its first display of offensive lightning.

Lakewood~When the vast majority of the core of this year's La Mirada varsity baseball team were freshmen, they went and had their heads handed to them at Lakewood in a 10-0 loss.
The casts on both sides have changed little and, unfortunately, neither did the results Saturday in the second round of the Loara Tournament.
With a rainstorm blowing through just as the Matadores were going to take the field for warmups, getting in the contest was in deep jeopardy. But the dark clouds disappeared and so did La Mirada's bats for a second straight game to open the season in an 11-0 shellacking at the hands of the Lancers.
La Mirada (1-1) will likely play a home game Tuesday in the third round against either Vista Murrietta or El Dorado, one of which will also carry a 1-1 record into the meeting.

Anaheim~La Mirada’s baseball team wasted no time in taunting and thrilling its fans in the season opener of what could be a memorable one in a long history of great baseball squads at the campus.
Down and out not once but twice in a Loara Tournament game against Fountain Valley at Brookhurst Park, the Matadores got off the mat and escaped with a 5-4 victory in 10 innings.
J.T. Torres, fresh off CIF Player of the Year honors in football, came up Buffalo again by hitting a towering, game-winning double to the left-center fence for a 5-4 win over the snakebitten Barons.

We all need to participate in the Census
The Constitution of the United States mandates that a count of the population of the be conducted every ten years. This count, or census, is conducted at the beginning of every decade, usually on April 1st. Our next Decennial Census is scheduled for April 1st, 2010.
How does the Census Bureau accomplish this?
Census operations are the largest non-war effort put forth by the Federal Government. It will take approximately 1.5 million temporary workers to complete this enormous task. All of the workers have to be hired, trained, given tools with which to complete their work (ie. computers, telephones, offices and supplies), and then after the Census process is complete, Decennial Census operations come to a close and the whole structure has to be dismantled. 
It begs the question, why do these workers want to be a part of the process? “Census workers are passionate about ouir work because we believe what we’re doing is important,” says Sandra Alvarado, Media Specialist with the Census Bureau. “Not to mention that 1.5 million people get to work and receive a paycheck which helps individual families who are struggling to get through these difficult times, and helps the economy at large.”
Participation in the Census is everyone’s civic duty and responsibility. Furthermore, it is of vital importance to each individual, their families and their communities. It is an opportunity, once every decade, to do something that will positively impact our lives for the next ten years.
