PETERS VISITED ANAHEIM THIS PAST FEBRUARY TO DISCUSS THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION’S COMMITMENT TO IM- PROVING TRANSPORTATION INFRASTRUCTURE THROUGHOUT THE NATION. A press briefing was held at the proposed Anaheim Region- al Transportation Intermodal Center (ARTIC) site, located in Anaheim’s Platinum Triangle, where Secretary Peters reviewed plans for the proposed center that would significantly enhance transportation in and around Anaheim. The topic for discus- sion was the U.S. Department of Transportation’s support of public-private partnerships. Anaheim’s Mayor joined Secretary Peters, along with local and state officials, to discuss the vital role that public-private partnerships can play in improving the future transportation infrastructure throughout the country. 2 Anaheim T Summer 2008 C I T Y S C E N E U.S. Secretary of Transportation Commends Collaboration In Anaheim “Anaheim is showing America the powers of the private sector and the possibilities of an innovative public sector,” said Secretary Peters. ARTIC is a unique mixed-use development that will allow Anaheim and Orange County to meet the growing demand for mass transit in Southern California. The City of Anaheim has joined together with OCTA and numerous private enti- ties in an effort to create a mass-transit center that will rev- olutionize the way people travel throughout Southern Cali- fornia. It is this innovative public-private partnership that Secretary Peters came to Anaheim to celebrate, and her com- ments highlighted the innovative approach the City of Ana- heim has taken to ensure the successful future of transportation in Southern California.

Chivas USA and Major League Soccer (MLS) held a nation- ally televised soccer tryout, the ‘Sueno MLS: Chivas USA Wants You!’ where Flores competed against more than 2,000 other soccer hopefuls. Before rising to soccer stardom, the 18-year- old played at Anaheim High School where he was named MVP. As a member of the Under-19 squad, Flores trained weekly at the Bell Gardens Sports Center and traveled with the team to Guadalara, Mexico where they played against other Mexican soccer clubs. Upon his return, he signed a contract with the Chivas USA’s 28-man roster, where he made his debut as a substitute and played a vital role for the team. Flores continues to prove himself as Anaheim’s rising soccer star, as he is currently practicing with Chivas USA in San Antonio, Texas and playing in the pre-season warm-up tour- nament against other MLS teams.

Anaheim T Summer 2008 ---PAGE BREAK--- t the City’s annual State of the City luncheon this past January, Anaheim’s Mayor announced the creation of the Anaheim Center for New Energy Technologies (AC- NET). The AC-NET project would combine the efforts of the Anaheim Public Utilities Department, California State University Fullerton and private industry to create an energy research center. The focal point of the center will be to develop much needed new and clean energy technologies by bringing together entrepreneurs, scientists, investors, educators, future knowledge economy workers and non-profit organizations. The research center is projected to occupy buildings locat- ed in the Anaheim Canyon Business Center as this location is within a convenient distance of the Anaheim Public Utilities Department, Cal State Fullerton and private sector companies engaged in related work. Cal State Fullerton is enthusiastic about this project because AC-NET will provide the university with opportunities to leverage its research capabilities, strengthen its already stellar academic reputation in this area and partner with other re- search institutions. Overall, the initial emphasis will be on applied technologies that are closer to market application versus theoretical ones that are years, if not decades, from mar- ket. For those individuals currently in the workforce, AC-NET could provide vocational training to teach them how to work with the latest technologies in the field. From the City’s perspective, AC-NET will provide Anaheim’s Public Utilities Department with a research test bench that will evaluate energy and water saving technologies in an effort to aid customers in saving money on their bills, as well as help the City meet a growing list of legislative and regulatory require- ments from reducing greenhouse gas emissions to increasing renewable resource use and customers’ energy efficiency prior to building any new power plants. For example, it is envi- sioned that AC-NET could help adoption of smart electric grid products that can assist customers, and the Anaheim Public Utilities department, in reducing electric usage auto- matically and remotely as conditions warrant. With respect to water solutions, AC-NET could help make desalination processes more affordable, as well as improving the efficiency of water recycling and recharging the water basin so that such processes use less energy and space. The value of energy technology partnerships between the Anaheim Public Utilities and private industry has already been proven in a recent program with developers of thermal energy storage technology, which is designed to help smaller businesses to save money on their energy bills by shifting air conditioning demand from the day to the night. The Anaheim Public Utilities Department was able to help cus- tomers adopt this new technology through customer rebates and a developmental thermal energy storage rate that lowered their electric bills. Currently, AC-NET is still in the planning and formation stages. The Mayor is committed to making this concept a reality in the near future. Working with experienced private sector professionals and bright minds from the academic world, the city is working to create an organization that will be an incubator for new technologies; technologies that will help expand Anaheim’s economy and create new, well-paying jobs for area residents.

Summer 2008 T Anaheim 13 ---PAGE BREAK--- 14 Anaheim T Summer 2008 ©Kazuhiro Nogi/AFP/Getty Images Beijing ---PAGE BREAK--- or most athletes, competing in the Olympic Games is the highest goal one can achieve. Because of the U.S. Men’s Olympic Volleyball Team’s hard work, determination and drive over the past year, the team is now ranked third in the world and has earned the opportunity to make that Olympic dream a reality. Currently, players for the U.S. Men’s Olympic Volleyball team are taking advantage of team USA’s off-season and play- ing for smaller club teams in foreign countries. Once all athletes are back in Anaheim, they will begin practicing and competing for spots on the 12-man team roster that will com- pete at the Olympic Games. Anaheim Magazine wanted to know how the athletes of the U.S. Men’s Olympic Volleyball team will prepare for the com- petition of a lifetime. Middle blocker Tom Hoff, the Park Ridge, Illinois native, who is currently playing for a club team in Russia during the U.S. Men’s Olympic Volleyball Team’s off-season, has been to the Sydney 2000 and Athens 2004 Olympic Games and is confident he knows what it will take for him to experi- ence success in Beijing. Anaheim Magazine: What will your typical day look like once you are back in Anaheim practicing for the Olympics? Will you be preparing for the Olympics differently than other matches? Tom Hoff: I’m definitely looking forward to being back in Anaheim and back with my family. Once home, I’ll probably take a week off to relax both my body and mind and spend time with my family. That way, when I begin practicing with the team again, I will be fully ready to focus on being the best player and the best teammate I can be. Summer 2008 T Anaheim 15 f Bound Beginning Aug. 8, Anaheim residents will have another reason to watch the Olympic Games as the Anaheim-based U.S. Men’s Olympic Volleyball Team will represent our City and country in the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games. Courtesy USA Volleyball ---PAGE BREAK--- 16 Anaheim T Summer 2008 When I get back into the American Sports Center to prac- tice for the Olympics, my schedule will be much like any other job where I’m at work around 8 A.M. and leave around 4 P.M. Our morning practices usually last until noon. The rest of the day will be committed to team meetings and less intense skill practices. As for my routine, I will stick to doing the same thing I’ve done for every match. I’ll view the Olympics as just another tournament. AM: Who do you think is your biggest competition in Beijing? TH: I think our biggest competition is ourselves. We need to focus on Team USA and what makes us good while striving to get better. I don’t care about rank or numbers; I think it’s more important to focus on playing a good game. First-time Olympian David Lee, a middle block- er from Alpine, Calif. who is currently traveling with a team in Turkey, took time to share with Anaheim Magazine his strategy for his first Olympic experience. Anaheim Magazine: What is one key element you will focus on while you are training for the Olympics? David Lee: In addition to daily team practices, I think one of the most important things to focus on is the mental game. In order to be at the top of my game, and sustain an increased level of play, it’s critical for me to be mentally prepared. We’ve got great trainers who help us to utilize visualization to pic- ture ourselves in the moment. AM: What do you think it will take to make the 12-man team roster for the Olympic Games? DL: I think it will definitely take a strong character and great ability, of which both must contribute positively to the team. The coach is not necessarily looking for the best players, but rather the best players that when together, create the best team. After flying in from China, and before head- ing back over to Europe, Head Coach Hugh McCutcheon talked to Anaheim Magazine about his prepararation for the upcoming Olympics. McCutcheon’s relationship with the team began when he volunteered as an assistant coach in 2001. After proving his dedication as the team’s full-time assistant coach from 2003-2005, McCutcheon was named head coach of the U.S. Men’s National Volleyball Team in 2005. Anaheim Magazine: What are you doing now to prepare for the Olympics? Hugh McCutcheon: Well, I just got back from Beijing scouting out the venues, touring the Olympic village and observing the set-up there. I am mostly focused on the plan- ning right now—planning not only how we will get there, but also what and where we will be once we are there. I have also been traveling to Europe frequently to meet with our players. This helps to maintain the team culture and a connection with the players while they are playing on club teams. AM: Three years ago, did you think the team would be ranked third in the world and gearing up for Beijing? HM: I’ve been preparing for these games since I took the reins. I’m excited! Our goal was to become bigger and better. Where we are today is a true reflection of where we stand as a team. Get ready to cheer on the U.S. Men’s Olympic Volleyball team as they will be back practicing in Anaheim in late May. The public is invited and encouraged to watch the team practice at the American Sports Center located at 1500 S. Anaheim Boulevard. Practices will begin around 9 A.M. and last until noon. The team will leave for Beijing in late July with their first Olympic match beginning Aug. 10.

Café Contigo is a Cuban inspired café, both rich in flavor and atmosphere, that brings the essence of Cuba to the heart of Anaheim. The inspiration for this restaurant, located at 327 S. Anaheim Boulevard, came naturally to owners Petros and Linda Frangos. “I wanted a place where people could come together, relax and enjoy their coffee,” said owner Linda Frangos. Together, the Frangos’ have taste-tested and or created all the items on their menu from coffee to sandwiches. Their quest to provide consumers with a superior product has led them to use the best ingredients and best equipment. Upon entering the coffee shop, customers are greeted by a friendly and professionally trained barista who stands ready to brew a café cubano, mocha mexicano, cappuccino or one of their many other beverages. The coffee, pastries and other Cuban-inspired menu items wouldn’t be complete without the atmosphere inside Café Contigo. The ambiance found within this new hot spot en- compasses several group seating areas, a fountain and a vari- ety of classic board games that allow Café Contigo goers an escape from reality to a true Cuban-style coffee house. Various evenings throughout the month, Café Contigo hosts bands, comedians, authors and more. Visit Café Contigo today to learn more about the special events and experience a taste of Cuba right here in Anaheim! T I NEW BUSINESSES I Anaheim Is Going to the Dogs with Camp Bow Wow A naheim dog lovers can treat their pet to a day (and night) of fun with the new Camp Bow Wow, which opened in January. Finding a niche for busy dog lovers who want their dogs to stay active while they’re at work or on vacation, owner Kris Hanna, with her husband Tim, opened Camp Bow Wow as a place “Where a dog can be a dog.” The spacious 10,500-square-foot facility boasts both in- door and outdoor areas for dogs to romp and play with other friendly pooches. New dogs are required to first go through an interview process to ensure that they will play nicely and so the staff, or “camp counselors” as they’re referred to at Camp Bow Wow, can understand the dog’s personality and likes or dislikes. The facility is kept between 64 and 78 degrees at all times to ensure the canine “campers” comfort during the day and night. Camp Bow Wow even boasts a 24-hour monitoring system with live web cams, so you can watch your pet play while you’re away. Hanna, a former teacher who has three dogs of her own, exudes the energy of a person who truly loves what she does. “The best part of my job is being with the dogs. I just love them,” she says. Camp Bow Wow is located at 1431 N. Daly Street in Ana- heim. Day camp runs $30 per camper and overnight camp is $45 per camper. Contact them at (714) 533-CAMP or visit www.campbowwow.com.
