The excited youth were treated to a performance from the Anaheim Ballet, a surprise visit from Mickey Mouse, and motivational speeches from Disneyland Resort Ambassador Adonis Reeves. Anaheim’s Mayor, Angels Baseball announcer Jose Mota, Anaheim Police Chief John Welter and Anaheim Fire Chief Roger Smith also encouraged the children to believe in themselves and follow their dreams. Donations from sponsors, including the Mayor, the Ana- heim Chamber of Commerce, Brookfield Homes, the Anaheim Family YMCA, and the Orange County Archives, made it possible for each student to receive their very own edition of the book—their own gift of history. T C I T Y S C E N E A Gift of History ---PAGE BREAK--- HE ANAHEIM/OC WALK OF STARS RECENTLY RECEIVED TWO NEW ADDITIONS AS THE YORBA AND TAORMINA FAMILIES WERE BOTH HONORED FOR THEIR CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE REGION. The Yorba family’s long history in California dates back to 1769 when Don José Antonio Yorba first explored the area now known as Orange County. Yorba’s great rancho included the land where the cities of Anaheim, Orange, Villa Park, Santa Ana, Tustin, Costa Mesa and Newport Beach stand today. One of José Antonio’s many children, Don Bernardo Yorba I, went on to achieve great success. Yorba acquired numerous large territories to supplement his family’s massive cattle operation. Additionally, he introduced irrigation agriculture to the area by utilizing the Santa Ana River, Anaheim’s namesake, to ensure the land would remain productive. Yorba’s ranch was among the largest and greatest ranches of California’s Golden Age. The Taormina family built their Anaheim-based business, Taormina Industries, into the largest privately-owned solid waste and recycling firm in the nation. After merging their firm with Republic Services in 1997, the Taormina’s have pursued numerous investment and entrepreneurial opportunities. These investments have resulted in the family becoming one of the largest single property owners in Central Anaheim. As the founders of Clean City Inc., the Taorminas are involved in, support, or have founded dozens of community organ- izations and charitable groups throughout Anaheim and Orange County. The Yorba and Taormina family stars join the ranks with other notable honorees such as Walt Disney, Carl and Margaret Karcher and Henry and Susan Samueli.

MORE THAN 2,600 STUDENTS RECEIVED STAR STUDENT YARD SIGNS TO RECOGNIZE THEIR ACHIEVEMENTS IN THE “PROFICIENT” LEVEL FOR BOTH MATH AND LANGUAGE ARTS THIS YEAR ON THE STATEWIDE STAR TEST. The federal No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) sets annual targets for the percentage of students who should reach the pro- ficient level. The 2007 NCLB target for math was 26.5 percent proficient. Anaheim students scored 38.1 percent proficient. The NCLB language arts target was 24.4 percent and Anaheim students scored 32.1 percent. This achievement was cause for celebration, and thus, the idea for the yard signs was born. Each school was given a banner that proudly boasts the number of STAR honor students at each establishment. The yard signs were distributed during school assemblies to third- through sixth-grade students and can now be seen displayed proudly on lawns and in windows around Anaheim.

Meza, the White House’s executive chef for more than seven years, began his culinary career as a pantry worker in the ‘80s not long after emigrating from Mazatlan, Mexico. Since Chef Meza took charge of The White House’s 25-man kitchen crew, the restaurant has been acknowledged by many prestigious culinary associations. Adding his own flair and creativity to his cooking, Chef Meza said his “passion and quality of flavor” are among the two most important attributes that he brings to the kitchen. Meza has had the honor of working with a number of guest chefs, including Princess Diana’s personal chef Carolyn Robb- Hootkins; Jean Pierre Lamanissier, who served as chef de cuisine at La Tour d’Argent in Tokyo; the chefs of the King of Morocco, Iran and Persia; and one of the top chefs in the world, Alain Ducasse. Sharing his enthusiasm of cooking with others, Chef Meza continues to give back to the community by preparing food every evening for underprivileged children. “I couldn’t ask for a better chef to work with,” says Ana- heim White House owner, Bruno Serato. “He is a great human being; he’s family oriented, has wonderful skills in the kitchen and I am proud to consider him as part of my family.” Visit Chef Eddie Meza at the Anaheim White House at 887 S.

At 21, Torres has gained recognition as one of the top female pro-skateboarders in the country. Since breaking onto the pro- fessional skateboarding scene in 2001, Torres turned pro after competing in just two amateur competitions, proving that women can be successful in a sport that has long been consid- ered “boys only.” In 2003 at the age of 17, Torres took home a gold medal at X-Games IX; in 2004 she was crowned Fe- male Street Skateboarder of the Year at the Transworld Skate- boarding Awards. Today, Torres is proving herself once again as she becomes the third female skateboarder ever to appear in a Tony Hawk video game. She can currently be seen as a featured character in Hawk’s latest release “Proving Ground,” which hit stores in October. Through her achievements, Torres is creating a role model for young girls to have right at their fingertips.

T 8 Anaheim T Spring 2008 UBLIC AND PRIVATE INTERESTS MET IN OCTOBER FOR THE ANAHEIM REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION INTERMODAL CENTER (ARTIC) JOINT DEVELOPMENT INTEREST CONFERENCE. The forum brought together more than 200 professionals, including ARTIC’s public partners—the City of Anaheim and OCTA, to learn about ARTIC’s exciting potential for a public-private partnership. Regional transit and development opportunities surrounding the ARTIC site were also discussed. “I anticipate this ambitious project will become a model for how the public and private sectors can leverage their partnering to create a successful transportation and civic landmark,” said Orange Mayor and former OCTA Chair Carolyn V. Cavecche. ARTIC, located in Anaheim’s Platinum Triangle, will be a landmark in Southern California, creating a transportation hub that links freeways, major streets, bus routes, one of the nation’s busiest rail corridors and California’s most popular attractions. As envisioned, ARTIC will be a transportation gateway creating synergy with the people, jobs and recreation- al facilities that surround it. For more information about ARTIC, visit www.articinfo.com.

Dr. Lance Brunner, MD, an Orange County native, and faculty member of the Kaiser Per- manente Family Practice Residency Program, has forged a strong dedica- tion to improving medicine in Orange County. As the new Kaiser Permanente hospital on La Palma Avenue is set to break ground in the coming months, the time is right to get acquainted with the person who is educating Anaheim’s future doctors. Dr. Brunner recently shared with Anaheim Magazine his pas- sion for medicine and helping others, and why he gives back to the Anaheim community. It was after a routine visit to the den- tist’s office that Dr. Brunner’s passion for medicine was recognized at a young age. “I’ll never forget the day my ortho- dontist told me that I was going to have to wear headgear to school. I felt incred- ibly humiliated and upset,” said Dr. Brunner. “But, he spent time with me after normal office hours and we talked about character, kindness, and what is important in life. After that day, I want- ed to be just like him.” As a child, Dr. Brunner never forgot how important that display of kindness was to him and has attempted to serve in that capacity as an adult. His combin- ed interests in science, physiology and human relationships are what led him to choose medicine over dentistry— specifically family medicine. “It is all about empathy, relationships, science and application,” says Brunner. After graduating from his residency training program at Long Beach Mem- orial, Dr. Brunner sought a practice that would allow him to pursue academic medical interests. Dr. Tim Munzing, program director for Kaiser Permanente Orange County Family Medicine Resi- dency, involved him in the residency program at Kaiser early in his tenure. Dr. Brunner began to teach residents in both the inpatient and ambulatory are- nas. As time went by, his involvement with the residency program increased and he now spends a significant amount of time with medical students and res- idents in a variety of settings. “Watching the sparkle in their eyes when they ‘get it’ by mastering a con- cept is very exciting,” says Brunner. “Almost all of us in academic medicine agree—we learn more from the med- ical students and residents than they ever learn from us. They keep us on our toes and up to date on the latest and greatest in medical care— that is for sure!” When asked why he chose Kaiser Per- manente, Dr. Brunner’s answer is gen- uine and direct: “I was looking for a physician partnership that provided the highest quality care in the country, in an environment that is collegial and collab- orative,” he states. “I have multiple inter- ests, including ambulatory and inpatient care, resident and medical student edu- cation, research and organizational ad- ministration. I have been able to pursue all of these interests within the Kaiser Permanente Medical Group. I am con- stantly in awe of the level of talent I see at all levels within Kaiser Permanente.” So, what does Dr. Brunner consider his reward for hard work and a life’s dedication to the job? “It’s just being there!” he professes. Dr. Brunner says that assisting a patient during their time of need is all the reward he could ask for. “Helping others through challenging times is a sacred honor that is humbling beyond description.” With physicians like Dr. Brunner serv- ing the community and heightening medical student’s knowledge of family practice, it is clear that Anaheim and Orange County are in good hands with Kaiser Permanente. The new Kaiser Permanente hospital in Anaheim is scheduled to open in 2013.

As a comedian, actor, director, writer, musi- cian, children’s educator, humanitarian, and art collector, he is a true renaissance man who has done much more than just make us laugh. In fact, Marin owns one of the largest Chicano art exhibits in the world and is currently showcasing a portion of his private collection at the Muzeo in Anaheim. This year marks Marin’s 20th anniversary of collecting and now his art, including the first piece he ever bought, is on display at the Muzeo in “Chicano Art & Soul” a vivid and brilliant artistic showcase consisting of three exhibitions depicting Chicano life and culture. Anaheim Magazine was excited to sit down with Marin and learn more about the serious side of this multi-faceted comedian and art enthusiast. ANAHEIM MAGAZINE: Many people may be surprised to find out that you are a major art collector. Now, you have one of the largest Chicano Art collections in the world. How did it all start? CHEECH MARIN: I didn’t start out as a collector; I was just a guy who wanted a nice piece of art over my couch (laughs). But I’ve always been interested in art. I’m self-educated and start- ed going to the library and looking at art books when I was in sixth-grade. As I got older, I realized there was a gap in my education when it came to contemporary art. I started going to galleries and it was there that I discovered Chicano art. As I saw more work by Chicano artists, I was really taken by it. They are really technically proficient painters. I finally got to a point where I could buy art, and I did. m Y Spring 2008 T Anaheim 13 Cheech ChicanoArt Cheech ChicanoArt ) (Right): “An Afternoon in Meoqui” byWayne Alaniz Healy and ---PAGE BREAK--- AM: How would you define Chicano art? CM: Chicano art can either be defined as art depicting the experience of being a Chicano in America, or a painting by a Chicano artist. The artists’ experiences are really what binds this school together; it’s not necessarily that they are painting the same way, but they all have a common experience—being Chicano in this country. Their stories are told from a myriad of van- tage points, whether it’s religious, sociological, historical or When they come together, you see the whole 360 degree view of their experience. AM: What do you want people to know about the Chicano art movement? CM: First, they are great painters. That is the single most important thing that comes through in this art. All painters in the collection were university and art school trained. Second, you don’t have to be Chicano to enjoy these paint- ings; you just have to enjoy good art. It’s American art— it’s about the American experience as a Chicano has experi- enced it. AM: Who are some of your favorite artists? CM: Ah, that’s like choosing among your children (laughs). The ones that give me the least amount of trouble are my favorite (really laughs). But really, my favorite is Carlos Almaraz. He was the first Chicano painter—so lyrical and out there. He made the rules, but then he broke the rules. His paintings will continue to increase in value and recognition. But truth- fully, all the people in the show are wonderful painters. AM: What was your goal in supporting the Chicano art move- ment and taking your exhibit on tour? CM: Well, I had to support my addiction to collect the things I love (laughs)! Ever since I was young I collected things like marbles, baseball cards and Matchbox cars. When I started art collecting, it coincided with me being employed for six consecutive years so I could actually afford to buy art. Once I started my collection, I found myself in a unique position. I had access to Chicano art, I understood what the art was, I could afford to buy it and I could use my notoriety to help promote it. So that’s exactly what I did! Chicano artists are great painters and were not being showcased. I wanted to put them on the grid and let people know that they’re out there. AM: Now that you have helped “put it on the grid,” do you think Chicano Art has finally arrived? CM: No, I don’t think it has made it; it still has a long way to go. It really needs to go on a world tour. And that’s the thing— we need to bring art to the people. I always say, you cannot love or hate Chicano art until you see it. So that’s my goal— to let people see the art for themselves and decide. We’re at the beginning of Chicanoism and I think the art will con- tinue to change and grow because the experience of being Chicano will continue to evolve.

CM: I’m always looking for ways to get works out there. The California premier of Papel is in Anaheim because the dem- ographics of the area make sense—and I like Anaheim! Currently, the art world is not providing a lot of interac- tion or engagement with the Latino audience, but this exhib- it is the start of a dialogue with the Latino community. This is how to engage the nation’s largest minority in a construc- tive and positive way. We [Chicanos] are part of the American experience—cultural threads woven into the American fab- ric—and we’re one of the foundations of this community. Papel Chicano is intimate in nature. It showcases the unique handcraft ability and graphic sensibility of Chicano artists. These artists have been drawing for years. Drawing was really their first experience with art. You can’t stop a creative urge and paper is ubiquitous—you can find a piece of paper and pencil to draw, no matter your stage or status in life. AM: Comedian, actor, director, writer, musician and now art aficionado and collector. Is there something left undone or untried in your career? What’s next for Cheech Marin? CM: Just an all around general stud (laughs loudly). Seriously though, I’m an author now. I signed a deal with Harper Collins to write cultural essays. I’ve been a writer all my life so now its time to put up or shut up—I need to put something out for the public to read. AM: With such a diverse career, what do YOU want to be best known for? CM: That I made ‘em laugh. That’s the bomb for everyone. It’s the thing that makes life worth living. AM: Anything else you want to let Anaheim know? CM: Come and see the show! And bring your family and friends. There’s something for everyone. You don’t have to be Chicano to love Chicano art—it’s a general hit across the board. Everyone who appreciates great art can find some- thing great here. Marin’s collection can be viewed now through April 13, 2008 at the Muzeo, located at 241 S.

T I ENVIRONMENTAL BUSINESS I Anaheim Floral Shop Gets Green-er F rom the outside, The Spiraled Stem Floral Design may look like your average floral shop. Little do people know, this up-and-coming florist, located in East Anaheim, is among the first floral designers in Southern California to specialize in sustainable environmentally-friendly floral design. Using organic and eco-friendly products, materials and practices, The Spiraled Stem Floral Design promotes the “go green” campaign, hoping to aid in the fight against global warming. Owner Christine Saunders dove into the floral business at the age of 16. After pursuing a career as a city planner, her passion for flowers was rediscovered when a “help wanted” sign was posted in a local flower shop. Working the holidays and later offering to create floral designs for her friends’ wed- dings, Saunders’ new career was underway. Continuing to work as a city planner while her floral design business began to grow, Saunders was able to connect her two jobs on the basis of sus- tainability. “As a city planner, I was working on sustainability programs and I realized why not incorporate this into my busi- ness,” said Saunders. She was able to integrate sustainability and much more into her floral design by using Veriflora™ Certified Sustainably Grown flowers. Veriflora flowers focus on eight sustainability elements that “go beyond organic,” said Saunders. The Veriflora certification addresses social condi- tions at the farms, fair labor laws and product quality. “Everyone loves flowers and adding an environmental message allows our customers to grow a level of appreciation for the environment.” For more information about The Spiraled Stem Floral Design and Veriflora™ Certified Sustainably Grown flowers, visit www.thespiraledstem.com or call (714) 488-1529.
