Page 4 October 22, 2015 Morningside Loses First Game to Redondo Sea Hawks’ homecoming game. The Sea Hawks wasted no time on Morningside. On just their fourth play from scrimmage, senior quarterback Jacob Silvera found six-foot-five junior wide receiver Warren Jackson for a 39-yard touchdown for a 7-0 lead. After holding Morningside on downs, sophomore running back Jermar Jefferson sprinted 50 yards for a TD and Redondo already held a 14-0 advantage with 7:50 left in the first quarter. Only 1:15 later, though, Silvera threw an interception to senior cornerback Aaron Berry who went 38 yards for the score. Senior Marcus Turnage brought in the ball for a two-point conversion giving the Monarchs hopes to rally from an early 14-0 hole for the second straight game, as it did a week earlier at Peninsula in a 24-21 victory. The Sea Hawks, though, came back for a 21-8 lead with 1:35 remaining in the first period on a 36-yard touchdown run from senior Jerone Jackson. That would start Redondo’s string of 35 unanswered points. The Sea Hawks added three second-quarter TDs on a blocked punt recovery in the end zone by junior lineman Dan Zimmerman, a four-yard run from junior running back Dallas Branch and a 20-yard quarterback By Joe Snyder Photos by Joe Snyder Morningside High’s football team from Inglewood had a great six-game run but it was faced with a very stiff test in a key Bay League game at Redondo, which entered the game as the second ranked team in the CIFSouthern Section Western Division. The Monarchs entered the game rated eighth in the division but played mostly a weaker schedule than the Sea Hawks, who played the likes of Mission Viejo (their only loss to a team that is top rated in the Southern Section West Valley Division and seventh in California) and North Torrance, which Redondo handed its only loss at the start of the season. The Saxons, led by highly-regarded all-around player Mique Juarez, are third in the Western Division and won six straight since their loss to the Sea Hawks that included an impressive 35-17 victory at cross town rival West Torrance last Friday. It was a match-up between two very talented and athletic squads with good speed. Redondo (6-1 overall and 2-0 in league) quickly got off the starting gate and went on to soundly defeat the Monarchs (6-1, 1-1) 49-20 in the keeper by Silvera for a 42-8 halftime lead. Jackson scored his second touchdown of the game on a 15-yard run to give Redondo a 49-8 lead with 7:42 to go in the third period. From there, Morningside went to its big play offense starting behind senior quarterback Travion Magee’s TD passes of 71 yards to senior wide receiver Darren Morgan and 56 to senior wide receiver Adarrus Wilson. Penalties and mistakes plagued both teams including preventing further scoring. “We were star struck early,” Morningside head coach LaFayette Fletcher said. “We’ll be ready next week. We can still win league. We got to get better each game.” The Monarchs come home to Coleman Stadium and face defending four-time league champion and last year’s Southern Section Western Division champion Palos Verdes Friday at 7 p.m. Last Friday, the Sea Kings won their 25th consecutive Bay game over host Inglewood 49-6. Lawndale Crushes Samo Lawndale High head coach Travis Clark was looking forward to coaching against his former team and alma mater. He was happy about the Cardinals’ 62-0 rout of hapless and winless Santa Monica (0-7, 0-2) last Friday at Santa Monica City College but he might have felt sorry for them, as well. Fourth-year starting senior quarterback Chris Murray continued to dominate his foes. He completed eight of 14 passes for 98 yards and three touchdowns and rushed for 69 yards and one TD. Zach Cooper ran for 130 yards and three touchdowns on nine carries. Reserve quarterback Erick Willis passed for a TD and, as a defensive back, returned an interception for a score. Defensively, Lawndale held the Vikings to just 75 total offensive yards. The Cardinals come home to face another winless squad from Beverly Hills (0-7, 0-2) Friday at 7 p.m. Hawthorne Wins Second Straight For the first time since 2004, Hawthorne High’s football team won more than one Ocean League game after outlasting Beverly Hills 42-35 Morningside’s Jonathan Hill carries the ball in last Friday’s Bay League football game against Redondo. last Friday at Hawthorne. Quarterback Marte Mapu threw for three touchdowns, including a winning one of 48 yards to Jaylen Morgan with 2:35 remaining in the game. Carlos Jacobo caught two of them from 20 and 30 yards out. The Cougars improved to 2-0 in league and are tied atop the Ocean with El Segundo and Lawndale. Hawthorne is 2-5 overall. Hawthorne visits El Segundo Friday at 7 p.m. The Eagles (7-0 overall) are coming off a 42-31 home win over Culver City last Friday.

Hawthorne Hosts Annual Free Shredding and Compost Event at City Hall By Derrick Deane It doesn’t have to be spring in order for you to clean up clutter. The city of Hawthorne will once again host their annual free paper shredding and electronic waste collection event on Saturday, October 24 from 9 a.m. to noon at City Hall. “What we do is we provide a truck where we shred your secure documents and all those bills and bank statements you have at home,” Sam Pena, a representative of the Public Works Department said. There is no limit to the amount of paper residents can bring. Last year, more than two tons of paper was collected and recycled. Every ton of paper that is recycled saves 7,000 gallons of water, between 17 and 31 trees, 4,000 kilowatts of electricity, and 60 pounds of air borne pollutants from being expelled into the air. Of course, the biggest incentive to shredding documents is to prevent identity theft which affects 11 million people a year at a cost of almost $54 billion. “We don’t want you to throw secure documents away with your regular trash because we know there are people out there looking for commodities that are in the waste and recycle stream,” Pena said. “They look for aluminum cans, cardboard, and they look for your identity.” So which papers should you keep and which ones can you get rid of? As a general rule, you should save tax returns for seven years in case you get audited. The IRS website states that it generally only goes back three years for an audit, but that “additional years can be added if a substantial error is identified,” that can stretch the process as far back as six years. Anything with bank account numbers that you no longer need should be shredded, including monthly paper bank statements. You can also take an extra step in security by switching to emailed paperless statements. The same goes for utility bills as most now have a paperless billing option. Credit card offer forms and “convenience checks” as well as outdated pay stubs and canceled checks are also items that should be shredded. ATM receipts, address labels from junk mail, outdated resumes, travel itineraries, used airline tickets, and paid utility bills also make the list for paper items that you should shred. In addition to shredding secure documents, the event will also be accepting electronics such as computers, tablets, TVs, DVD players, cell phones, and similar devices for recycling. “This is one of the ways we like to help out the residents in the city of Hawthorne. If you bring your documents that you have laying around at home, we shred them for you for free,” Pena said. “The cost of this to residents, like I said, it’s free, but if you were to go to a document company to shred these papers, they usually average $25 a box to have them shredded.” As if that wasn’t enough, residents can also pick up free compost courtesy of Republic Services. Compost will enrich soil and help conserve water, a welcome benefit as some residents have seen their water bills skyrocket during the past few months after the City Council enacted Stage 2 water conservation protocols. “I think this is the third time we’ve done this, is that we’re going to be giving away free compost. This is not cheap, bad compost, this is fertilizer and you can bring a truck or some bags and you can take as much as you want,” Pena said. Composting also helps ward off plant diseases and increases soil nutrients helping plants to grow. Recent research shows that soil treated with compost tends to produce plants with fewer pest problems. “We will have what we call a 20-yard rolloff container filled with compost,” Pena said. “I think last time we had a little bit left over so we were able to donate over to the Parks and Recreation Department so they could spread on their fields and grass.” Interested residents should bring their own bags or containers to be filled with as much compost as desired. Compost will be available on a first-come, first serve basis. “These things usually cost $20 or $30 at Lowes or Home Depot if you go and buy a few bags of fertilizer or compost, so come prepared and take as much as you want,” Pena said. For most vegetable and flower gardens, 1 to 3 inches of compost is ideal while lawns need only about a half of an inch of compost. For trees, 2 to 4 inches should be applied, but not at the tree base. Rather, compost should be placed 4 to 6 inches away from the trunk. The city will also be giving away free emergency supply containers while supplies last. The containers are durable, water-tight containers that can store vital emergency supplies. If interested in the event, residents may contact Hawthorne Public Works at 310-349- 2987 for more information. •
