Anaheim’s youth got to speak with numerous local nonprofits during the Servathon

ast October, more than 500 students from Anaheim junior high and high schools gathered at ARTIC to embark on an adventure. Their destination? Anaheim and Orange County’s nonprofits. The second annual Anaheim/Orange County Volunteer Fair hosted by OneOC and sponsored by the Anaheim Union High School District, brought together students from the district’s 19 campuses with more than 30 local nonprofits. The event created the perfect environment for Anaheim’s youth to learn more about the wide variety of nonprofits available to them and ways they can give back to their community.

During the volunteer fair, students also helped Disney VoluntEARS assemble military care packages, watched a presentation on service dogs trained to assist veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder, learned about fire prevention and safety, helped kick off an annual food drive and increased their awareness about homelessness in Orange County. However, the volunteer fair served an even greater purpose. On Jan. 18, 2016, these same students took part in a Servathon on Martin Luther King Jr. Day by volunteering their time with one of many of the nonprofits they met during the volunteer fair.

The Orange County Heritage Council’s Black History Parade helped kick off Black History Month celebrations across the county

anaheim celebrates

black history T

he streets of downtown Anaheim were filled with African-American pride and celebration in early February. The 36th annual Orange County Black History Month Parade & Faire brought some 8,000 people together to mark the contributions of African-Americans to Anaheim and the county. Anaheim has played host to the parade since 2011. Some 100 marching bands, parade vehicles, horseback riders and other processioners took part, with churches, sororities and youth and social groups represented. Attendees included noted community members, elected officials and religious leaders. From Sycamore Street, the parade moved down Anaheim Boulevard to Broadway

before looping around to Center Street Promenade, where a cultural fair with food and retail booths, music and festivities was held. As the only black heritage parade in the county, the event showcased Anaheim’s and Orange County’s culturally rich AfricanAmerican community. Anaheim is home to about 11,000 AfricanAmerican residents, or about 20% of Orange County’s black population, according to the Census. The parade kicked off Black History Month, which commemorates the achievements of African-Americans and recognizes their central role in U.S. history. For more, visit the Orange County Heritage Council at www.oc-hc.org.

water conservation continues A

Anaheim Public Utilities offers residents a free Home Utility Check-Up, where a personalized analysis of your water and energy use can help you find ways to be more efficient.

Anaheim Winter 2016

lthough California has received much needed rain this winter due to El Niño conditions, water conservation needs to become a way of life to help us reduce the impact of future dry years. Anaheim customers have done a great job of saving water to meet state regulations, but there are still steps you can take to help save water. First, make sure your sprinklers are shut off during, and for several days after, the rain. Investing in a weather-based irrigation controller is one way that you can “set it and forget it.” These “smart” systems will adjust the amount of water your soil needs based on the current weather conditions. Even more helpful is a soil moisture sensor controller, which is placed below ground in the root zones of lawns to determine watering needs. They are available as stand-alone or add-ons to existing controllers. For those considering replacing your lawns this spring,

zero-interest loans are still available to help you with upfront costs. Anaheim Public Utilities offers residents a free Home Utility Check-Up, where a personalized analysis of your water and energy use can help you find ways to be more efficient. You’ll receive a number of free water- and energy-saving devices and be introduced to rebate programs that can save you even more. With the largest amount of water use inside your home going toward toilet flushing, consider replacing your current toilets with a premium high-efficiency model that uses about 20 percent less water. And when almost 15 percent of the water used inside your home goes to doing laundry, upgrading to a high-efficiency washer can also help lower your utility bill.

peace of mind in a time of need

W During your time of need, the Paramedic Membership Program means you’ll have one less thing to worry about.

Anaheim Winter 2016

ould you pay $36 to save $350 or more? Residents and businesses in Anaheim can do just that with the Paramedic Membership Program from Anaheim Fire & Rescue. For $36 a year, or $3 a month on your Anaheim Public Utilities bill, you won’t have to worry about a paramedic response bill— $350—in the event of a medical emergency. If an elderly relative falls, a child is injured playing sports or you encounter some other medical emergency, the Paramedic Membership Program provides peace of mind in a time of need. For Anaheim residents, the program covers paramedic response fees for everyone living in your home. Extended family and friends are covered if they have a medical emergency while at your home. For Anaheim businesses, the program covers paramedic response fees for you

and your employees while at work. Customers are covered if they have a residential account. Membership in the program waives the fees for an Anaheim Fire & Rescue emergency response to your residence or business and for onsite emergency medical aide; however, it does not cover ambulance transportation and care in transit or treatment at a hospital or other facility. The $36 annual fee covers one visit or multiple visits. During your time of need, the Paramedic Membership Program means you’ll have one less thing to worry about. Like an insurance policy, hopefully you won’t end up needing Anaheim Fire & Rescue’s paramedic service. But if you do, it will be the best $36 you’ve ever spent.

is here E

l Niño is here, and it’s bringing rain to Anaheim. From now through spring, Anaheim is set to see heavy rainfall from El Niño, where warmer Pacific Ocean waters bring higher than normal precipitation to Southern California. Anaheim last saw a major El Niño in the late 1990s, when nearly 20 inches of rain fell on the city from December to March, and almost a year’s worth in February 1998 alone. The city of Anaheim has been preparing for rains for months. Thousands of storm drains have been cleared. Equipment staging areas are set up throughout the city. Thousands of sandbags have been distributed for residents. And public safety and traffic control units are in place and ready. With heavy rains, we urge everyone to use caution around flooded streets and rushing

flood control channels. A small amount of moving water can sweep you off your feet, while a foot of moving water can carry off a small vehicle. Sadly, more than half of all flood-related deaths occur in vehicles. When you encounter street flooding, remember: “Turn around, don’t drown.” Also stay clear of flood channels during heavy rains. If you see someone in a flood channel, call 911. Don’t go in after them. Leave it to Anaheim’s swift-water rescue team. For the past few weeks, the city also has been working to inform residents about El Niño and how to deal with heavy rains. With the theme of “Be Rain Ready,” the city’s website offers helpful information to help keep you and your family safe. For more information, visit www.anaheim.net/berainready.

hotel upgrade

New luxury hotels are coming to Anaheim, and it’s not just visitors who’ll benefit “These hotels will be a source of local pride while also generating additional revenue for key city services.” —John Woodhead City of Anaheim Community and Economic Development Director Rendering of the proposed JW Marriott in the Anaheim Resort—the first Orange County location for the hotel chain

Anaheim Winter 2016

R

ecently, plans were unveiled to bring Orange County’s first JW Marriott to Anaheim, while the owner of the Anaheim Plaza Hotel & Suites and Anabella Hotel has detailed plans to redevelop those properties as luxury hotels. The projects are made possible by a city initiative to enhance Anaheim’s main source of funding for services and programs — taxes from hotel stays, which make up nearly half of Anaheim’s general fund and play a big role in financing police, fire, libraries, community programs and other resident services. The new luxury hotels are being built under programs that provide incentives equal to 70 percent of the hotel tax the owners pay for 20 years. The city receives the remaining 30 percent of hotel tax for two decades and 100 percent after that.

8

Even with the incentive, the hotels will bring new or increased city revenue. At the Anaheim Plaza Hotel site, a luxury hotel is expected to bring in more than $2.1 million annually for the city, or more than double what’s now generated. After 20 years, a luxury hotel at the Anaheim Plaza Hotel site will bring in $13 million a year for the city. With upscale restaurants and spas open to the public, the hotels also will offer added amenities for Anaheim residents to enjoy. “These hotels will be a source of local pride while also generating additional revenue for key city services,” said John Woodhead, Anaheim’s community and economic development director.

hen 20-year Anaheim resident Luz Rosales heard the call for input on a new park and community center in her neighborhood, she saw a chance to improve the lives of her family and her neighbors. Rosales is one of hundreds of moms who provide round-the-clock care for their kids, home and family. Since many of these families may have only one vehicle, often times the services or places Rosales needs or wants to go are out of walking distance from her home in the neighborhood near Haster and Orangewood. When the city opened the Ponderosa Joint-Use Library in 2010 next to Ponderosa Elementary School, Rosales’ world became a little bit bigger because she now had access to more books, her kids gained access to more activities, and she could partake in new adult and family programs.

“When the city asked for the community’s input on a new Ponderosa Park, it gave me a chance to dream,” said Rosales. “It allowed me to think of all the things that would make our community better, safer and happier.” Realizing the need for more services and enrichment in the neighborhoods bordering Ponderosa Park, the city set out to ask residents specifically what they wanted to see on the park’s nine acres. To put things into perspective, Ponderosa Park sits on the corner of Haster Street and Orangewood Avenue and tucked between the Platinum Triangle and Anaheim Resort. Many of the residents in this area work at Disneyland, in hotels, factories or as gardeners or house cleaners. They often benefit from the services or amenities they can walk to.

“it gave me When the city asked for the community’s input…

a chance to dream.

”

Currently, Ponderosa Park offers a playground, community garden and family resource center that is busting at the seams. Thanks to fees paid by developers in the Platinum Triangle, the city is able to bring $15 million in renovations and construction to Ponderosa Park. When Rosales sat down and put pen to paper outlining her vision for a new Ponderosa Park and community center, she took into consideration a variety of factors. What would make kids want to play in the park and keep them away from gangs? How can we create spaces for free family activities like outdoor movie nights? Where can we hold classes for women who want to learn new skills? How can we teach proper nutrition for our families with a hands-on approach? ,,

Little did Rosales know that her vision for a new Ponderosa Park is exactly what the city was hoping for. So much so, that Rosales has been involved in the planning of the renovated park and community center every step of the way. Much of what you’ll see at the completion of the park’s renovation will have come from the ideas dreamt up by Rosales and her fellow community members. “I’m so happy, I really love my community and our kids deserve something like this,” said Rosales.

hances are, if you’ve driven the 57 freeway through Anaheim at night, you’ve seen the illuminated “dome” on the east side of the freeway, nestled between Angel Stadium of Anaheim and Honda Center. That dome is ARTIC —Anaheim’s newest transportation center—and it’s quickly becoming a popular Anaheim icon. Each night, ARTIC is illuminated by 1,700 LED lights, housed inside the pockets of the roof ’s ETFE material, which creates the building’s reflective glow. The lights are controlled by state-of-the-art technology and can be programmed to reflect a wide array of colors, patterns and messages. “It provides us with an opportunity to communicate with passersby and let residents know what is

Anaheim Winter 2016

going on here at ARTIC and in the area,” said ARTIC Facility Manager Jack Gillett. “Basically ARTIC has become the bat signal for our Gotham.” Beyond simply bringing beauty and attention to the building, ARTIC has several different lighting schemes to help bring out the spirit of various holidays throughout the year, such as red, white and blue for Fourth of July, green for St. Patrick’s Day and green and red during the Christmas season. Perhaps more importantly, the building is illuminated orange or red to support our hometown teams Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim and Anaheim Ducks. “So anytime you see the red lights are illuminated, you’ll understand that there’s an Angels

16

bright lights home game,” said Gillett. “We do the same when the Ducks are at home by lighting up orange. And in the rare opportunities when both the Angels and Ducks are playing at home, we have schemes that can run red on the west side and orange on the east side of the building to support both teams.” The possible lighting combinations, patterns and displays are nearly endless, and ARTIC is always developing additional shows to coincide with major events. “It was a very steep learning curve,” said Kai Harris, who is the ARTIC building engineer. “We had to work with the manufacturer and they sent out their number one guy who has programmed the Empire State Building, the Brooklyn Bridge and several other

17

major lighting shows. He walked us through on how to program the lights.” “This is a great center,” Gillett continued. “Come down and see it. Come down and learn about it. It’s a fantastic building to walk through— it’s a work of art and a joy to be in.” The next time you are driving by or traveling through ARTIC, take a look and see if you can determine if ARTIC is sending a bat signal for a special event or simply providing an entertaining light show. Either way, it will be a dazzling way to brighten up your evening. For more information about ARTIC, visit www.articinfo.com. G
