In January, the City Council approved an agreement allow- ing EarthLink, one of the nation’s largest Internet service providers, to create a Wi-Fi broadband network, making Ana- heim one of the first wireless cities in Southern California. Under the agreement, EarthLink will install the network on streetlight and traffic signal poles, enabling anyone who pays for the service to access the Internet in most areas in the City. For small businesses, Anaheim’s wireless network will provide an alternative for broadband connectivity, such as an afford- able wireless T-1 solution. “The City of Anaheim is one of the premier destinations for business and pleasure on the West Coast, and deploying citywide wireless broadband only reinforces this image to residents and visitors,”said Donald Berryman, executive vice president of EarthLink and president of the ISP’s municipal networks division.“This solution will provide an alternative to traditional high-speed Internet offerings and give users an affordable option to stay connected no matter when and no matter where they are in Anaheim.” By offering innovations, such as wireless high-speed broad- band connectivity, city officials believe that other high-tech businesses will use Anaheim as a test-bed for their emerging technology as well. ] No Strings Attached: Anaheim Creates a Citywide Wi-Fi Network CERT Classes Offered ISASTER CAN STRIKE ANY TIME AND WITH- OUT WARNING.

A dedication was held on February 10 with Tiger Woods, former President Bill Clinton, California First Lady Maria Shriver, students, teachers and community leaders. The two- story, 35,000-square-foot center is providing fourth-through 12th-grade students with critically important free interactive enrichment programs in reading, math, science and technol- ogy. It also offers specific classes that promote career explo- ration and preparation in areas including forensic science, engineering, aerospace, video production and home design. “My goal for the TWLC is to provide students with a place to explore their dreams and open doors to new opportunities and potential career paths,” said Woods, who graduated from Western High School and often played golf at Dad Miller. “This is their center, and I hope it serves as a launching pad to great success.” Working closely with local school districts, the Center’s staff of educators has developed a series of programs that will augment current school curriculums. In the first year alone, it is estimated that 3,000 students will take advantage of the TWLC and its resources. The 14-acre campus was designed to provide students with access to the most interactive, technologically advanced equip- ment and curriculum. It includes a 1,200 square foot multi- media center,a 200-seat auditorium,a computer lab containing more than 100 computer stations, a student lounge and a café. Thanks to Anaheim Public Utilities, the TWLC will also serve as an energy efficiency showcase with a solar electric cur- tain wall,a solar electric panel and an interactive display allow- ing students to explore electric energy, renewables and conservation measures and the history of Anaheim’s municipal electric utility. In addition, the cen- ter includes a 10-acre driving range with 20 tee stations and a three acre 18- hole putting course. ] Tiger Woods Learning Center Opens at Dad Miller Golf Course ©Gary Newkirk Tiger Woods Learning Center Spring 2006 ] Anaheim C I T Y S C E N E ©Gary Newkirk ---PAGE BREAK--- Anaheim T Spring 2006 4 C I T Y S C E N E NAHEIM IS MOVING FORWARD WITH EFFORTS TO TRANSFORM A PORTION OF UNUSED LAND ALONG THE SANTA ANA RIVER INTO A RIVERFRONT PARK THAT CAN BE ENJOYED BY RESIDENTS.

This spring Anaheim welcomes the USA Men’s National Volleyball team, currently the world’s fifth ranked team. For two weeks last summer, Team USA made its home in the City, drawing hundreds of curious fans to the Ameri- can Sports Center to watch them train. The visit made such a significant impact on the team’s performance internationally that they vowed to return. Now, the team is here to stay. Thanks to the generosity of local businesses, the 20 players and four coaches are leaving their training site in Colorado Springs for Anaheim in April. USA Volleyball is banking on the fact that the move will increase the team’s chances for a gold medal at the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing.

The team finished the year by winning 18 of its last 19 matches, including 14-straight at one point. “There is no doubt in my mind that training at sea-level, in a world-class facility, with a community that was genuinely supportive of our team helped us significantly,” Coach Hugh McCutcheon said of the two-week training visit. While training at a high altitude benefits aerobic athletes, in volleyball it impacts the trajectory of the ball, negative- ly affecting players’ skills. But the bene- fits of relocating to Anaheim extend beyond training at sea-level. Many of the players are from Southern California and this move brings them closer to home, improving their quality of life, McCutcheon said. In addition, the team’s ability to recruit new players will improve because many of the best players in the country are from Southern California. “Our goal is to become the 2008 Olympic Men’s Volleyball Champions,” McCutcheon said. “It’s going to take an incredible amount of work, a lot of skill, and a little bit of luck for us to achieve. The good news is that by moving to Anaheim we are capable of accom- plishing this goal.” ] USA Men’s National Volleyball Team 9 n his first year as head coach of the USA Men’s National Volleyball team,Hugh McCutcheon led the team toward a new home in Anaheim and international cham- pionships.

In addition, for the first time in the history of USA Volleyball, the team won the Americas’ Cup, beat- ing Brazil, the current Olympic, World Cup and World Champions in their own country. Now McCutcheon, a native of Christchurch, New Zealand, and the team are focusing on a tough road ahead in 2006. “Hugh has a great sense of the tradi- tion and history of USA men’s volleyball,” sad Doug Beal,the long-time head coach who guided the USA men’s team to an Olympic gold medal in 1984 and is now serving as chief executive officer of USA Volleyball. “He has a wonderful rela- tionship with the players. He is one of the brightest coaches that I have ever had the pleasure of working with.” McCutcheon has played on the New Zealand junior and senior national teams, was a member of New Zealand’s 1996 national team and represented his country on the FIVB Beach Volleyball World Tour in 1997. He played for Brigham Young University (BYU) from 1991-1993 after transferring from the University of Canterbury in New Zealand.From 1995- 2001 he was the top assistant coach and recruiter for BYU. During that time the Cougars posted a record of 138-44 and captured two NCAA men’s volleyball championships (1999 and 2001). McCutcheon has served as a volunteer assistant coach for the men’s national team,helping out during the 2001 World League, the 2002 World Championships and on five international tours.He served as the head coach of the USA Boy’s Youth National Team in 2000 and 2001.In 2004 McCutcheon was assistant coach of the men’s national team during the Olympics in Athens.

Looking to make sure a majority of those development dollars—as well as money from additional upcoming con- struction projects—stay in Anaheim, the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce has created a new program giving Ana- heim businesses a “first look” at infor- mation on up-coming contract bidding opportunities. The Anaheim First Look Procure- ment Program is designed to build the linkages local businesses need to obtain public and/or private contract- ing opportunities, or hire subcontrac- tors for their business. The idea for the program first came to fruition after the Anaheim City Council’s approval of Lennar’s A-Town project. The builder agreed to work with the Chamber of Commerce to provide Anaheim busi- nesses with bidding information for upcoming projects. Now the Chamber is building on this opportunity, creat- ing partnerships with other local devel- opers as well as other industries, to pro- vide the same information to Anaheim businesses. As part of the program, the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce plans to provide a bidding packet for interested busi- nesses,including an inventory of bidding opportunities in Anaheim and contract bidding seminars. The bidding packet will be made avail- able to all Anaheim Chamber members. “We are excited about the prospect of providing Anaheim businesses the opportunity to take advantage and ben- efit from the tremendous growth that is taking place within our city,” said Anaheim Chamber of Commerce Pre- sident and CEO Todd Ament.“As Ana- heim businesses continue to grow and prosper, the tax dollars they generate are a huge benefit to the city and its residents making this a winning situation for everyone involved.” Contract Bidding Seminars are also being planned to provide businesses with an opportunity to hear about new major developments in Anaheim, learn about upcoming bidding opportunities and how to access them, as well as meet in person, private and public entities offering bidding opportunities.
