The Affordable Housing Strategic Plan sets the largest tar- get for affordable housing in Orange County. According to federal guidelines, affordable housing is based on a county’s median income, which is $75,700 for a family of four in Orange County. Housing is affordable when a resident spends less than 30 percent of his or her income on rent or payments. Although the City has exceeded state- mandated goals for affordable housing, many of the projects built in the last few years have been designed for senior citi- zens. The Strategic Plan allows the City to ensure Anaheim provides a wide range of housing to meet the diverse needs of the community. ❚ Council Approves Affordable Housing Strategic Plan The Affordable Housing Strategic Plan Establishes a goal of 1,200 new affordable family rental units built in Anaheim by 2009. At least 33 percent of those must be designed for very low income households. Facilitates the conversion of some motel units with affordable rental units and ensures that low and very low affordable housing developments get a priority review and plan check. Creates a new staff position to help families transition from motels to affordable housing. Sets aside redevelopment funds and tax money for affordable housing projects. 4 C I T Y S C E N E Anaheim ❚Winter 2006 NE OF THE BEST DEALS FOR GOLF IN ORANGE COUNTY, THE ANAHEIM DAD MILLER GOLF COURSE AND DRIVING RANGE IS NOW REDESIGNED AND AVAILABLE FOR PLAY. The renovation of the driving range follows an extensive re- model of the golf course. Over the past year, the 15th, 16th and 17th holes were renovated, a new lake feature was created and additional amenities were added. In addition, consistent with Dad Miller’s goal of making the game as widely accessible as possible, the course was chosen as the site for the 14-acre Tiger Woods Learning Center. The Center will include a 35,000-square-foot building for classes in math, science and language arts for kindergartners through 12th graders. One of the county’s original golf facilities, Dad Miller Golf Course in Anaheim has been welcoming guests since the 1960’s. Among the guests who have frequented the course is Tiger Woods, who called the course home during his high school years. A more “traditional” course, Dad Miller retains a personality designed for golfers who want a course they can walk, though carts are also available. The golf course is located at 430 North Gilbert and contains the Greenside Café & Bar, which offers facilities for meetings and events, and includes a golf shop and cocktail lounge. To reserve tee times, call (714) 765-3481 or visit www.anaheim.net. ❚ Redesigned Dad Miller Golf Course and Driving Range Open for Play Private lessons with video analysis, group classes, golf schools, junior programs, beginners-only, and women-only classes.

The family restaurant, known for delicious food and a casual atmosphere, was started by Frank Cozza, a former Anaheim police officer. The restaurant had originally been Costello’s Restaurant, where Cozza would visit every Friday night with his family, drink coffee with the owner and watch him make pizzas from scratch. One night while driving by Costello’s, Cozza’s wife noticed that the restaurant had closed. Cozza remembers, “My wife said ‘Let’s buy it’ and I said ‘you’re crazy.’ But in the end, I decided to take the gamble.” And the gamble paid off. Instead of visiting his favorite restaurant with his family, Cozza began running one of Ana- heim’s favorites. Now boasting approximately 15,000 square feet and approximately 35 employees, Cozza says he owes his success to hard work, long hours and the nice people who frequent his business. While he has expanded the size of the restaurant and the menu at Mama Cozza’s during the past 40 years,he vows that one thing will never change—it will always be a family restaurant. Indeed, Mama Cozza’s is in its third generation of family members working at the restaurant. His son, Frank Jr., is currently co-owner and is set to take over the family business. But Cozza still manages to work in the restaurant every day. “I still do everything,” he says. Mama Cozza’s Italian Restaurant is located at 2170 W. Ball Road in Anaheim. ❚ N E W S M A K E R S RUNO SERATO, OWNER OF THE ANAHEIM WHITE HOUSE, HAS BEEN NAMED “COR- NERSTONE HUMANITARIAN OF THE YEAR” BY THE NATIONAL RESTAURANT ASSOCIATION FOR HIS EFFORTS TO FEED NEEDY CHILDREN. Serato was selected by a panel of eight judges who reviewed restaurants across the nation for their ongoing charitable and community programs. Serato was recognized for Caterina’s Club, a program he and his mother formed two years ago. Named after Serato’s mother, Caterina Lunardi, the program ensures that 60 hot, fully prepared dinners are delivered to the Anaheim Boys & Girls Club each night. Serato has also donated a van to the Boys and Girls Club to facilitate food deliveries and provide other transportation needs. “His commitment to children in his community is a gift,” said Steven C. Anderson, president and CEO of the National Restaurant Association.“Providing opportunities for these chil- dren to get a nutritious meal and after-school activities helps give them the right start in life.” Founded in 1987, the Anaheim White House, located at 887 S. Anaheim Blvd., is recognized as one of Orange County’s finest restaurants.

Revitalization efforts are characterized by the City’s com- mitment to restoring and reusing historic buildings while bringing in new structures that mirror the architectural styles of the 1920s and ‘30s. In the last year, the downtown revitalization has seen sig- nificant progress. John Laing Homes’“The Boulevard,” com- prised of 20 single family homes and 36 condominiums on Anaheim Boulevard, sold out in record time and construction is well underway on CIM Group’s mixed-use development, the capstone of the revitalization effort. CIM Group’s $100 million development builds on the last seven acres of vacant land in downtown and includes mid-rise buildings with approximately 400 housing units and 55,000 square feet of retail. Part of the project, Carnegie Plaza, locat- ed next door to the Anaheim Museum on Anaheim Boulevard, is being designed to reflect 1920s and ‘30s Anaheim. It will stand four stories tall and house retail space on the ground floor with apartments above. It will also include a local history research center and cultural exhibit space. Down the street, a building that housed a former auto shop at 327 S. Anaheim Blvd. has been restored to historic standards and now features three casual dining restaurants. Still to come is the conversion of 36 acres along Santa Ana, Olive and South streets. More than 200 new rentals from Lewis Communities and 700 for-sale residential units built by John Laing Homes,Brookfield Homes and Standard Pacific Homes will create another new downtown neighborhood. In addition, Anaheim’s original citrus packing house will be restored to include a potential open-air market, food empo- rium, restaurants and retail. New condominiums are also planned for the block. “Anaheim is a creating a vibrant downtown,”said Elisa Stip- kovich, executive director of community development.“We’re building on the history of downtown as a center of civic and cultural activity in the heart of the City.This is one of the most ambitious public/private developments underway today and a model for urban revitalization.” ❚ John Laing Homes’ “The Boulevard” Anaheim Packing House 7 Winter 2006 ❚Anaheim D 1.

For Rachel Clarke and Kristen Sciacca that dream came true. Smart, ambitious and committed to making a difference in the community, they are the reigning Miss Anaheim and Miss Teen Anaheim. Rachel Clarke had received her crown and appeared at a few events, but the realization of what it meant to be Miss Ana- heim didn’t completely sink in until one day when she was at a restaurant with her parents. “Someone came over to our table and said ‘I saw your video. Congratulations,’” Clarke said. It was at that moment that Clarke,21,fully understood that with the title of Miss Anaheim came notoriety. Clarke, who was named “Miss Congeniality” at the Miss California Pageant, had entered the pageant in hopes of get- ting more involved in the community. A junior at Cal State Fullerton, Clarke is a pledge in Gamma Phi Beta Sorority, an active member of Friendship Baptist Church in Yorba Linda, a member of Big Brothers Big Sisters and a member of the Outdoors Club. Throughout her reign as Miss Anaheim, she has stressed the importance of higher education—an issue close to her heart. Kristen Sciacca decided to enter the Miss Teen Anaheim pageant after looking at the pictures and trophies her mother, Kimberly Mate, had kept when she was crowned Miss Ana- heim in 1984. Already active with the Women’s Transitional Center, Orangewood Shelter, Operation Christmas Child, Vineyard Christian Family Adoption and Missions to Mexico, Sciacca, 17, knew that if she won, it would be an opportunity to further increase her involvement in the community. “I saw it as an opportunity to get to know more people and serve the community,” said Sciacca, who was named “Miss Congeniality” in California’s Outstanding Teen Competition this summer. This year, Sciacca became involved in the Make a Wish Foundation, Best Buddies and Habitat for Humanity.A junior at Canyon High School, Sciacca is involved in drama and has been a cheerleader, a member of the yearbook committee and served on the school newspaper. After graduation, she plans to earn a college degree in journalism. Anaheim Ballet’s Rising Star From the stage at Anaheim’s Pearson Park Theatre to London’s Buckingham Palace for a performance before Queen Elizabeth, 18-year-old Charlie Anderson has become Anaheim Ballet’s rising star. Earlier this summer,Anderson,who has trained at Anaheim Ballet for the past four years, was one of 3,500 dancers from around the world vying for a few valuable scholarships in the Youth America Grand Prix world-wide dance competition. His performance earned him a full scholarship with the Royal Ballet of London. Several weeks after he arrived in September, he and nine other students performed with the Royal Ballet for Queen Elizabeth. Before heading off to London, Anderson attended sum- mer training with the American Ballet Theatre in New York, performed as a guest artist in Osaka, Japan with the Suzuki Arts Ballet in August, then returned to Anaheim to perform in Anaheim Ballet’s production of Peter and the Wolf at Pearson Park. Anderson has received the Cerritos Center for the Arts Col- lege Scholarship and was an award winner in the Los Angeles Music Center’s Spotlight Competition. He has performed at the Children’s Festival,Pearson Park and Heritage Forum con- certs,Adelphia’s Anaheim Ballet and Friends public access TV programs and in numerous festivals and city events. Look for Anderson at upcoming Anaheim Ballet performances when he returns from London in December. Most Likely to Succeed ---PAGE BREAK--- Kaelyn Galang is like most third-grad- ers. She likes Hello Kitty, reading and playing with her friends. But Galang,a third-grader at Benjamin Franklin Elementary School, has achieved something less than 1 percent of stu- dents her age accomplish. Galang was the only student in the Anaheim City School District and one of 105 third-graders in California—out of about 490,000 statewide—who scored perfect 600s on the 2005 language arts and math California Standards Tests. Galang says she was surprised when she learned she had earned perfect scores. “I thought the test was pretty hard, but I tried my best,” she said. But her performance on the tests didn’t come as a shock to her family. “She’s an overachiever. She’s a perfectionist,” said her uncle, Chris Marcos. “She’ll correct you if you are wrong.” Galang has been honored by the Anaheim City School District Board of Education and has been recognized at a school assembly. Galang said she likes school—writing is her favorite subject—and one day wants to become a teacher. Long before Hilary Swank and Million Dollar Baby brought female boxing to mainstream America, Dyana “Pudge”Ornalez had climbed into the ring to pursue her dream of becoming a professional boxer. Ornalez started boxing nine years ago after having watched her father in the ring.Since then,Ornalez,18,has a 9-1 amateur record and has earned numerous titles including U.S. Junior Olympic Champion for 1999/2000. She has also been named National Junior Golden Gloves Champion for 2000/2001, Golden Gloves District Champion and U.S. Women’s District Champion for 2002. In 2002, Ornalez received the Orange County Hispanic Chamber of Commerce’ Sports Award hon- oring the most noted Orange County sports figure. Ornalez runs three miles in the morning and trains for two—three hours every evening at Boxing 2000 in Santa Ana. And her hard work has paid off. In October, her dream of becoming a professional boxer came true when she had her first professional boxing match in Irvine.

Most people know Gwen Stefani graduated from Loara High School in 1987 and Tiger Woods grew up on Anaheim’s Dad Miller Golf Course. But other Anaheim residents have gone on to become successful ath- letes and musicians in their own right. Here’s a few. While Gwen Stefani was sitting in class at Loara High School, another Loara alumna, Stacey Swain a.k.a. Stacey Q, had her first Top 40 hit, “Two of Hearts.” Reuben Droughns graduated from Anaheim High School, where he rushed for 4,915 yards—the second most in Orange County history. He has played running back for the Detroit Lions, Denver Broncos and now the Cleveland Browns. Kevin McLain, a 1972 Loara High School graduate was an All Amer- ican and first round draft choice for the Los Angeles Rams. When it comes to baseball, several players attended Anaheim high schools before making it to the major leagues. John Moses,a graduate of Western High School in 1974, played for the Seattle Mariners, the Minnesota Twins and the Detroit Tigers. Andy Messersmith, also from Western High School, was a pitch- er who spent more than a decade in the majors playing for the California Angels, the Los Angeles Dodgers, the Atlanta Braves and the New York Yankees. George Zeber was a Loara High School shortstop before he played in the 1978 World Series for the New York Yankees. Mike Adams graduated from Loara High School in 1966 and played in the major leagues for more than 10 years with the Minnesota Twins, the Chicago Cubs (where his father, infielder Bobby Adams,had played) and the Oakland A’s. Charles Gip- son, who grad- uated from Loara High School, began his career in 1998 playing for the Seattle Mariners. Jaret Wright, a gradu- ate of Katella High School, was drafted in 1994 by the Cleveland Indians and is the starting pitcher for the New York Yankees. ❚ Gwen Stafani: ©Frank Okenfels; Tiger Woods: ©Chris Trotman Spotlight on Success Most Likely to Succeed 11 Winter 2006 ❚Anaheim ---PAGE BREAK--- 12 Upcoming events at Arrowhead Pond of Anaheim 2695 E.

While the City is home to many historic struc- tures—most of which are private homes in the Anaheim Colony Historic District bordered by North, South, East and West streets—some pub- lic structures are more obscure and boast unique characteristics. Sheltered on three sides by a commercial build- ing at 6398 E. Santa Ana Canyon Road, the Ramon Peralta Adobe is easy to miss. The adobe, built in 1871 by Ramon Peralta, stands on what was once part of the Rancho Santiago de Santa Ana and is the only remaining adobe in the Santa Ana Canyon. The adobe changed hands several times before it was officially opened to the public in 1986. The adobe includes artifacts excavated on site, a furnished period room and numerous photographs tracing the history of the adobe. Structural details uncovered during the restora- tion are also available. In 1857 in order to prevent cattle from roaming into town and eating grape vines—the German settlers’ livelihood—a fence and four gates made of willow poles were built around Anaheim.On the corner of Anaheim Boulevard and North Street, a plaque now designates the site of the North Gate, which is listed as a California Historical Landmark. On Center and West streets a plaque designates the site of the West Gate, which led to the seaport where wine was shipped to San Francisco. Although there are no plaques desig- nating their locations, East Gate was located at Center and East streets and South Gate was locat- ed at South Street and Anaheim Boulevard. In the early 1900’s Anaheim, Fullerton, Santa Ana, Orange and Huntington Beach received grants from Andrew Carnegie to build libraries “to help in the improvement of mankind.” Today only Anaheim’s remains. On the corner of Broad- way and Anaheim Boulevard, the library is now home to the Anaheim Museum.Anaheim received the $10,000 Carnegie grant to build the library in 1907. Designed by architect John Austin, who also designed the Shrine Auditorium and Griffith Park Observatory in Los Angeles, the building is on the National Register of Historic Places. Established in 1866, Anaheim Cemetery is the oldest public cemetary in Orange County. Several of the City’s early settlers are buried there includ- ing Petra Ontiveros Langenberger, whose father sold land to George Hansen and John Frohling, allowing them to create Anaheim. The cemetery, located at 1400 E. Sycamore Street has a marker honoring Anaheim’s pioneers. Anaheim is also home to the the oldest Pro- testant Church building in Orange County and, for more than 30 years, had the tallest building in Orange County.Now known as Korean Presbyter- ian Church, First Presbyterian Church located at 129 E. Cypress Street, was built in 1870 and was dedicated in 1873. The Kraemer Building, which houses the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce, is a six-story building with a rooftop penthouse. Completed in 1925, it was the tallest building in Orange County for more than 30 years. The build- ing,at 201 E.Center Street,is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Mixed among modern structures these land- marks are only a few of the historic sites that offer a glimpse into Anaheim’s rich history. ❚ Carnegie Library Built in 1907 with the desire to “help in the improvement of mankind,” the Carnegie Library is the last remaining Carnegie Library in Orange County. Part of the National Register of Historic Places, you can visit the Carnegie Library on the corner of Broadway and Anaheim Boulevard. The Kraemer Building The Kraemer Building, built in 1925, was the tallest building in Orange County for over thirty years. It now houses the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce.

The jet, which has a wingspan of 34 feet and weighs just under six tons, set itself apart from others during the war when it became the first to deploy a heat-seeking Sidewinder missile and the first to have a successful pilot ejection at supersonic speed. The Cougar flew numerous missions over North Korea, taking aerial reconnaissance photos. After the conflict was over, the Cougar was transferred to a Naval “plane graveyard” in Litchfield, Arizona. ✪It remained in Litchfield for several years before it was rescued by the City of Anaheim. In May 1959, Anaheim officials contacted the Navy, seeking a jet to display in a City park. The Navy offered six different jets, but Anaheim only received one of them, the Cougar. By November of that year, the jet was dismantled and put on a train to Ana- heim. The entire arrangement only cost $250, the price of shipping it from Arizona. ✪The jet was placed in what is now Boysen Park with the cock- pit controls intact and the storage areas open for crawling and exploring. But after several years, the jet began to wear down. Metal had started to warp and sharpen at the edges, and screws had become exposed. Eventually, in 1967, it was layered in metal mesh, then covered with a two-inch thick coat of gunite, a mixture of cement and latex glue. The cockpit controls and seat were removed, and the crawl spaces were sealed off. Over the years, the jet has been repainted several times. This summer, City staff restored it to its original colors, with a star painted next to the cockpit and red trim on top of the wings. ✪Forty-two years since the jet landed at its final destination, children who once played on the Cougar now bring their own children to the park to fly the jet, fueled by imagination. ✪ 15 Winter 2006 ❚Anaheim 1 Carson Katzler runs across the wing of the Cougar as his mother, Shannon, watches. 2 The F9F-6P Cougar is dismantled and put on a train to Anaheim, November, 1959. 3 A recently repainted Anaheim landmark. 4 Fun for kids of all ages! 5 Jonathan Lucerol runs up the wing. 6 Kaitlyn McDonald plays in the Cougar’s cockpit. 3 2 4 5 6 ---PAGE BREAK--- Anaheim ❚Winter 2006 16 B U S I N E S S C O N N E C T I O N ANAHEIM PUBLIC UTILITIES SAVES RESIDENTS AND BUSINESSES MONEY NAHEIM PUBLIC UTILITIES HELPS RESIDENTIAL AND BUSINESS CUSTOMERS REDUCE UTILITY BILLS BY INCREASING WATER AND ENERGY EFFICIEN- CY IN THEIR HOMES.

The entire check-up usually takes about one hour and includes installation of free items such as compact fluorescent lamps, low- flow showerheads, faucet aerators, toilet dams and flappers. Anaheim residents are also encouraged to take advantage of the Dusk to Dawn Lighting Program for energy-efficient security lighting. Qualified customers receive free high pressure sodium (HPS) or fluorescent lights with photo sensors to automatically turn lights on at dusk and off at dawn. A 70-watt HPS light uses up to 70 percent less energy than a 300-watt incandescent bulb and can last as long as six years.Income qualified cus- tomers also may receive free installation. Businesses can participate in the Small Business Energy Management Assist- ance program. The program has helped 466 Anaheim businesses reduce capital and operating costs by providing free energy surveys and free inspections and tune-ups of air conditioning and refrig- eration equipment. In addition, quali- fying businesses receive more efficient lighting and free upgraded thermostats. Anaheim Public Utilities pays 75 percent of the cost, up to $5,000, for upgrading from T12 fluorescent lights to new T8 lamps with electronic ballasts and light- ing controls and pays the full cost up to $800 for up to four thermostats.
