CITY SCENE
Innovative Partnerships Improve
Anaheim Neighborhoods
nated approach would have the greatest long-term result for
Anaheim neighborhoods.
Following the Police Department’s model of dividing the
City into four districts, each with its own District Commander,
other City departments began assigning key management
staff to each District Team. The four Neighborhood Services
District Teams were charged with addressing all issues which
surfaced within their respective district boundaries.
A key objective of each District Team was to identify the
most “challenged” neighborhoods, and to create action plans
for long term improvement. This on-going effort is the City’s
Neighborhood Improvement Program.
Within a year of the initial implementation of the citywide
Neighborhood Improvement program, Anaheim saw crime
drop an astounding 80 percent. Numerous other improvements, including the installation of streetlights, alley improvements, and traffic calming measures, also improved the
target neighborhoods.
Strong partnerships with neighborhood residents, school
principals, faith organizations, businesses and non-profit
organizations were established to solicit input and involvement from the community. Currently, district neighborhood
council meetings are held quarterly and allow residents
to discuss neighborhood issues and strategies with District
Team members.
The ongoing effect of community governance can be seen
daily in Anaheim, with issues resolved early before they
become more problematic. As the City continues to rapidly
re-invent itself, Neighborhood Services District Teams also
discuss how new developments in all parts of the city will
affect their own districts.
Anaheim’s innovation and imagination has continued to
adapt a decade-old idea into a successful program. Community members now have personal relationships with individuals
from each city agency. With every contact, the City of Anaheim becomes a better place for our residents, businesses and
visitors to call home. ❚
NNOVATION IS SOMETHING FOR WHICH
THE
CITY OF ANAHEIM IS KNOWN.
Creative new solutions address the challenges that businesses
and residents face on a daily basis. Landmarks, sports teams,
outstanding corporations and engaging entertainment make
Anaheim unique, but the ability to manage change truly sets
it apart.
Recently, a theme has emerged, one of creating organizational and community partnerships which improve in residents’ quality of life. The idea has attracted national attention
with the concept being called “community governance.”
A decade ago, Anaheim city departments were offering
innovative programs designed to improve neighborhoods.
The Police Department was implementing community policing, Community Services was problem-solving through its
Neighborhood Services Division and the Planning Department was conducting area-wide public forums to address
land use issues. Though progress was being made through
these various efforts, it was determined that a more coordiA Record Turnout to Fight Crime
Anaheim Police Department’s
annual “Night Out Against
Crime” notched a record
number of participants this

ever for the 20-year-old
event. For more information

cans and put them in back…where the boys were smoking.
We’re lucky we didn’t kill ourselves.”
The price of gas in Anaheim then? “About 16 cents a gallon,”
Tisnerat said. “But none of us could afford a car.”
“Everybody made around $50 to $75 a week, that’s it,” said
Lierman.
“Plus meal money,” Gaviglio added. “That was another $3
per day.”
Despite an impressive 81-59 record, the Sunset League crown
did not come easily for the Valencias. In a semifinal playoff,
Anaheim first knocked off the pesky Ontario Orioles, then
came out on top in a best-of-seven championship series
against their rival, the Riverside Dons.
Gardner summed up the Valencias’ 1947 season: “We had
fun and we played hard. It was good baseball.”
Later in the day, the five former teammates and one former
player’s widow were recognized by the City, and then whisked
off to the Angels-Royals baseball game, where they were
honored in a special pre-game ceremony at Angel Stadium
of Anaheim.
When it all was over, former player Bob Capps smiled and
remarked, “This was a great day.”
And fifty-nine years ago, the Anaheim Valencias had a great
season. A championship season. ❚

ANGELS WERE NOT THE FIRST PROFESSIONAL
BASEBALL TEAM TO WIN A CHAMPIONSHIP FOR
THE
CITY OF ANAHEIM.
Not by a long shot.
In 1947—nineteen years before the Angels had even made
the city their home—the Anaheim Valencias baseball team
were the champions of the Class “C” Sunset League.
On the morning of June 13, 2006, five former Valencias
teammates—catcher and manager Jerry Gardner, 85, second
baseman Gene Gaviglio, 80, and pitchers Glenn Lierman,
77, Bob Capps, 78, and Don Tisnerat, 79 — reunited in
Anaheim’s Glover Stadium to remember that championship
season from 59 years ago.
“I loved playing baseball here,” Gaviglio said.“This was the
best team I’ve ever played on.”
The 1947 Anaheim Valencias, named after the popular
oranges once grown locally, made many a bumpy bus ride to
battle their league competitors in Riverside, El Centro, Ontario,
Reno and Las Vegas.
“We got around in a rickety old 1935 Buick school bus,”
Gardner recalls.“When we went from Vegas to Reno, there

A total of 440,000 square feet of retail, dining and entertainment space is planned. In addition, about 866 hotel rooms
will be built for three hotels, the details of which are still to

When complete, GardenWalk will take its place as both
a premiere shopping and entertainment complex and luxurious outdoor oasis. ❚
Scheduled to open in October 2007, the GardenWalk has
already leased most of its 87 spaces to high-end retailers and
restaurateurs such as Banana Republic, Chico’s, Aveda Salon,
McCormick & Schmidt’s Grill, Roy’s, P.F. Chang’s China Bistro
and The Cheesecake Factory.
The project will be the newest resident of the Anaheim Resort
district. Located at the junction of Disney’s two park entrances,
between Katella and Disney Way, the GardenWalk will add
short-term accommodations, retail opportunities and aesthetic appeal to an already rich and bustling area of the City.
True to its name, the development will be divided into five
distinct garden themes: the wonder garden, the rock garden,
the terrace garden, the gala garden and the garden gate.
The highly anticipated Anaheim GardenWalk will mix luxury retail, dining and hospitality into an already vibrant part of the city.

A Blast from the Past

Into the Future
WHEN JAMES S. T. AND MEDA R. LEAVITT
BUILT THEIR HOUSE IN
1929
The Headquarters opened its doors to the public on July 25
in a ceremony attended by City officials and members of the
Anaheim community. A ceremonial ribbon was cut to dedicate
the house, and a citrus tree was planted in honor of Anaheim’s
past and the orange groves that once stood on that very parcel. The Boys and Girls Club of Anaheim and Sunkist’s Take
a Stand program collaborated to offer a free lemonade stand,
with all donations going to the Boys and Girls Club’s Torch
Club program.
A California transplant from Maine, James S.T. Leavitt built
his house at 883 S. Los Angeles Street (now S. Anaheim Blvd.)
at the age of 72. City records cite the initial cost of the dwelling
at $4,500, with an additional $8.50 in fees. The Leavitts owned
the citrus groves adjacent to the house as well as another five

death in 1938, Meda retained ownership
of the home until 1943, when she sold
the house and both citrus properties to
Santina Colombo.

point, Colombo and partners Marion &

Pierina Caracausa caught the development bug and opened the citrus-growing land to development. The house,
now officially Lot 28 of Tract 1194,
remained under Colombo’s ownership
and the Caracausas lived there from
1948 to 1953.
Victor and Irene Cheslick, a blueprint drafter and a guest home manager, bought the property in 1953, and in
1957, they opened the Lynhaven Guest
Home. The establishments catered to
retired men, usually bachelors or widowers. A year later, the property was sold
to Dr. Franz Pohl, a local physician who
continued the guest home under new
manager Martha Kruger.
Although Dr. Pohl maintained ownership of the property, the guest home
was renamed and changed management several times. In 1963, Dorothy S.
Schaffer began managing the Santa
Maria Guest Home, which operated
under that name until 1976. In 1978, the
name was changed to Virginia’s Guest
Home, which came under the management of Clara M. Black in 1980. Dr. Pohl
is also listed in association with
Virginia’s as the home’s go-to physician.
In 1983, the McMahon Guest Home
began operating under manager Marguerite McMahon. The home’s use as a
guest home ended in 1986.
A ceremonial tree-planting of a citrus
tree at the new Anaheim 150 Headquarters was a highlight of the Open
House on July 25.
▼
An aerial photo of S. Los Angeles St. in
the late 1930s shows the orange groves
adjacent to the house.
In 2001, after the home had been
occupied on-and-off for almost 20 years,
Dr. Pohl sold the property to the City
of Anaheim. For the next five years the
building stood empty while the City’s
Redevelopment Agency looked for an
appropriate development opportunity.
When time came to plan the City of
Anaheim’s Sesquicentennial celebration,
which kicks off this October, the empty
home was converted into what is now
the City’s 150th Anniversary Headquarters. Once ranch property, private
residence, guest home and business, the
house has followed the historical trajectory of Anaheim, and can be expected
to follow the City into the future.
From July 25 through December
2007, the headquarters will be open to
the public Monday through Thursday,
10 A.M. to 4 P.M. Come by and discover

“The Big Picture,” coinciding with National Photo Month, and
judged by a panel of professional photographers and community

From the tranquil trails at Oak Canyon Nature Center to the

Get Ready
T
hese days, with everyone’s hectic
schedules, it’s hard to get dinner on
the table let alone create a disaster preparedness plan for you and your family.
But preparing for an emergency is critical and it’s easier than you think. This
September — National Preparedness
Month—follow these easy steps to keep
you and your family safe in an emergency.
> 1. C R E AT E
A
PLAN
Your family and loved ones may not
always be together during an emergency,
so plan now how you will contact one
another and review what you will do in
different situations.
❑ Discuss what to do in each type of emergency
❑ Pick two places to meet—one right outside your
home, the second outside your neighborhood in
case you are unable to return home
❑ Write important information about your family’s
health, like each person’s blood type, allergies,
pre-existing medical conditions and current
medications
❑ Ask an out-of-state friend to be your “family
contact.” Make sure everyone has his or her
phone number
❑ Plan how to take care of your pets

A
KIT
Although City officials will be on the
scene after an emergency, preparing a
kit will make sure you have the tools you
need to survive at your fingertips. Buy a
few items each time you are at the grocery store and you will have everything
you need—and a little more peace of
mind—by the end of the month. Or
simply order a complete kit online at
www.redcross.org.
❑ At least a three-day supply of nonperishable
food. Avoid foods that will make you thirsty
❑ Manual can opener
❑ At least a three-day supply of water (one gallon
of water per person, per day)
❑ Portable, battery-powered radio or television,
and extra batteries
❑ Flashlight and extra batteries
❑ First aid kit and manual
❑ Hand sanitizer, moist towelettes and
toilet paper
❑ Matches in waterproof container

have special needs, such as disabled and
elderly persons
❑ Attend CPR and first aid training
❑ Enroll in Anaheim’s Certified Emergency
Response Team class this fall. Classes will take
place September 13–November 4 from 7-9:30 P.M.

jersey portray the same passion and energy our players and
fans bring to the building every night.”
With Anaheim’s favorite hockey club shedding “Mighty”
from its name, the new Anaheim Ducks have created a sharp
and exciting image that’s ready to hit the ice.
A stylized “D” that mirrors a duck’s footprint anchors the
new logo, with a classic color palette of black and metallic
gold, with an accent of orange as a metaphorical link to the
team’s Orange County home. The new image and design came
from creative collaboration and opinions of fans, Duck players,
ownership and management.
In addition, the newest Anaheim landmark, a 95-foot-tall
state of the art marquee alongside the Orange (57) Freeway,
will promote upcoming events and light the Anaheim sky with
every Ducks’ victory.
With a new look, fresh design and clean slate the Anaheim
Ducks’ next season, which begins on October 6, is set to soar. ❚

Comes to Anaheim
nother sports franchise is calling Anaheim home. This
fall, the Anaheim Arsenal, the newest NBA Development
League team, will begin playing at The Arena at the Anaheim
Convention Center.
“Anaheim is a perfect location for an NBA Development
League team,” said Greg Smith, executive director of convention, sports and entertainment for the City. “The Arena
at the Anaheim Convention Center is a great facility to showcase the team and our location is
central to a strong market for fan support.”
The team will be coached by NBA veteran
Larry Smith, whose 13-year career as a player included stints at Golden State, Houston
and San Antonio. His coaching experience
includes assistant positions with the Houston Rockets, including their back to back
championship years, Atlanta Hawks and Los
Angeles Lakers.
The team, affiliated with the Los Angeles

premier sports destination. The season opens

over the previous year. Convention attendance is set to reach
