Feature Story: Cultivating Community
Urban Agriculture Thrives in L a Ha bra Located at Orange County's northernmost corner, La Habra is a quiet community with a population of nearly 62,000. Centrally located to popular destinations such as Disneyland, Angel Stadium, beaches and mountain resorts, La Habra is a bustling city typical of the busy southern California lifestyle. Here, it is easy to forget that agriculture is California’s leading industry, and has been for the last 50 years. A small slice of La Habra’s history as open ranch land and thriving crops remains today, tended painstakingly by the members of the Sonora Future Farmers of America (FFA) and the La Habra Hilltoppers 4-H clubs. “Sonora High School and La Habra High School are coming together for one of the first times to support one another,” said student Felice Silva, who is an active member in the collaboration. Agriculture students at La Habra High School gain hands-on practical experience through classroom instruction, raising animals, gardening and other projects. A rigorous curriculum
requires the students in the Academy of AgriScience to enroll in one or more Agriculture courses each year, to be active participants in Future Farmers of America, and to complete a Supervised Agriculture Experience (SAE). An SAE may be raising and showing animals, constructing an agriculture mechanics project, raising plants, or completing a science fair project. With both a school farm and an FFA chapter, the agriculture programs are designed to develop social and leadership skills in students by engaging them in projects that range from three to nine months. continued >>>>

Feature Story: Cultivating Community, continued These include raising livestock such as cattle, dairy cows, sheep, goats, and swine. The animals are fed and cared for by the students on a daily basis; the students also practice showing their animals several times a week so they will be ready for market. Other projects include horticulture, landscaping and food production, as well as an opportunity for practical work experience where The Sonora-L a Ha b ra students learn important chap ter of the FFA i s skills such as construction one of th e mos t a c tive and small engine repair.
and recognize d chap ters i n the e n ti re organization.
Along with the raising of animals, plants and other projects, students have opportunities to compete in regional FFA competitions. FFA is the largest youth organization in the world; it fosters an interest in agriculture and teaches leadership skills. The Sonora-La Habra chapter of the FFA is one of the most active and recognized chapters in the entire organization.
New this year was the first annual La Habra Valley Community Fair, a three-day event highlighted by a livestock show in which sheep, hogs, cattle and dairy heifers — all raised by students in Sonora and La Habra High Schools' agricultural programs and the La Habra Hilltoppers — were on display and sold at auction. At the fair the animals are sold in a very lively auction to generous buyers who are there to help the students recoup the cost of raising their animal. “The theme of the first La Habra Valley Fair [was] ‘Kids Come First,’” which promoted the idea that these students planned the event and tended the animals themselves,” said Sonora-La Habra chapter President Nathan Kuester, who will attend Cal Poly San Louis Obispo as a Crop Science Major. After four years in the program, Nathan has fulfilled the mission of the National FFA Organization, which is also carried out by the Sonora and La Habra High Schools’ agricultural departments: dedicated to making a positive difference in the lives of students by developing their potential for premier leadership, personal growth and career success through agricultural education.

Community Events: Veterans Day
Ho n o ri n g Our Ve te ra ns: A Trad i ti on of Re m e m b ra nce
In 2000, the City of La Habra and American Legion Post 267 partnered to recognize veterans with the City’s first annual Veterans Day Program, held on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day in the eleventh month. During the first few years, the event was held on the steps of City Hall, where we heard from the likes of Orange County broadcaster Ed Arnold, KFWB anchor Dan Avey, and Congressman Ed Royce, Lt. Colonel Tom Lasser, as well as our own Sergeant Jason Forgash. We also enjoyed musical performances by the Sentimental Sisters in a tribute to World War II veterans, patriotic hymns from the Crossroads Community Church choir, and last year, an upbeat patriotic tribute that included songs, dance and percussion performed by the Green Hills Baptist Church choir. In each of the last four years, Trinity Broadcast vocalist Vern Jackson has performed patriotic songs to honor our military personnel, past and present.
The main message that has driven this program is our effort to educate the public about patriotism. American Legion Post 267 has provided programs designed to communicate that message through symbolic presentations, such as the Missing In Action (MIA) Remembrance Ceremony, the flag folding ceremony, and the Four Chaplains Ceremony. Each year, hundreds of people attend this event to recognize veterans and to make sure that we have not forgotten their service. The City of La Habra will hold its annual Veterans Day program on Wednesday, November 11, 2009, at 11 a.m. at the La Habra Community Center. If you would like more information on the Veterans Day program or would like to get involved with American Legion Post 267, please call David De Leon at 562-905-9649.

Community Development: Street Update
“Drug Free is the Key”
Pavement M a na gement Program Upda te
On March 16, 2009, the La Habra City Council awarded a contract to begin the Residential Street Rehabilitation Project for FY 2009-2010 (the third year of the six-year Pavement Management Program). The project will provide street improvements to 36 street segments. The proposed work includes: full pavement reconstruction; asphalt pavement overlay; construction of curbs and gutters, driveways, sidewalks, and curb access ramps; fire hydrant upgrades; and pavement striping and markings. In an effort to coordinate water and street improvement projects, the work will also replace 18,000 linear feet of aging water lines in various locations to ensure that the life of the water main system will exceed the life of the current pavement improvements. The total estimated cost for the project is $5 million. Funding comes from various sources including Gas Tax, Measure M, Capital Projects and Utility Authority bond funds. Residents may view maps of the Pavement Management Program schedule online at www.lahabracity.com. Click on Community Development/Engineering.

Public Safety: Share the Road
Sa fet y Tips
The end of summer means the beginning of a brand new school year. It is an exciting and busy time for parents and children, and there is often increased bicycle and pedestrian traffic. It is especially important that motorists remain mindful of this fact and do their part to ensure our children’s safety as they travel to and from school. Below are some helpful suggestions: Bicycle safety tips for drivers
• •
•
•
•
• • •
•
•
Watch for bicyclists at all times. Be especially attentive around schools and in neighborhoods where children are active. Bicycles are vehicles, and bicyclists are permitted to take the entire lane. Look for bicyclists in traffic and give them the appropriate right-of-way. Remember, children and novice riders can be unpredictable; expect the unexpected. Watch for bicyclists before opening car doors. Don’t drive distracted. Obey speed limits and come to a complete stop at stop signs. Allow extra time for bicyclists to cross intersections. Recognize hazards that
•
•
bicyclists may face and give them space to maneuver. Treat bicyclists as you would a slow-moving car. Don’t tailgate, and do wait until traffic conditions allow you to safely pass the bicyclist. Reduce speed when passing bicyclists and allow at least three feet of passing space. Check over your shoulder after passing a bicyclist before moving back.

Pedestrian safety tips for drivers

Always be prepared to stop for pedestrians. You can encounter pedestrians anytime and anywhere — even in places where they are not supposed to be found. Use extra caution when driving near children

•
playing along the street who may not see or hear you. Be especially attentive around schools and in neighborhoods where children are active. When entering a crosswalk area, drive slowly and be prepared to stop. Stop for pedestrians who are in a crosswalk, even if it is not marked. When you stop for a pedestrian in a crosswalk, stop well back so that drivers in the other lanes can also see the pedestrian in time to stop. Do not overtake and pass other vehicles stopped for pedestrians. Before making a turn, look in all directions for pedestrians crossing. Be aware that while you
are watching for your opportunity to turn, pedestrians may have moved into your intended path. • Obey speed limits and come to a complete stop at STOP signs. • Don’t drive distracted. • Look carefully behind your vehicle for approaching pedestrians before backing-up, especially small children. Remember, as pedestrians, children are at higher risk for injuries than adults. A child’s smaller size makes them difficult for drivers to see, especially if they’re standing between parked cars on the side of the road. They often have a harder time judging distances and vehicle speeds. This can lead them to misjudge when it’s safe to cross the street. In fact, a child’s young age and developmental stage can make it hard for them to apply traffic rules in real life settings. As a result, drivers and child pedestrians may each assume, incorrectly, that the other will yield the rightof-way.

City News: Latest Achievements
Working for Yo u
The City of La Habra’s mission is to improve the quality of life in our community. Some recent highlights that contributed to this mission are:
✔ The City submitted an application for $528,000 in federal Energy Efficiency Block Grant funds to make improvements to City facilities.
✔ Automatic External Defibrillators (AEDs) were installed at the Community Center and City Hall.
✔ The look and features of the City’s Web site www.lahabracity.com were updated.
✔ Countdown pedestrian signals were
Ne w Re g u la ti o ns Mea n Les s Wa ter Ava i l a b l e fo r L a Ha b ra ns On June 4, 2009, the National Marine Fisheries Service released its long awaited biological opinion on the effects of the Central Valley Project and State Water Project on salmon, steelhead, and other migratory fish species in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta. The California Department of Water Resources estimates that this new Salmon Opinion will cut water deliveries to Southern California by as much as 10 percent next year. These new water supply cutbacks are separate from the biological opinion released in December to address the decline of the Delta Smelt. The Smelt Opinion restricts State Water Project deliveries by 20 to 33 percent. This year alone, the Smelt Opinion has resulted in a loss of 370,000 acre feet of water to Southern California, enough water to supply nearly 3 million people for a year. A coalition of public water agencies, environmental organizations, state and federal fishery agencies, and other state and local organizations are currently working together to develop a long-term solution to the Delta’s decline. This effort will provide a basis for addressing the many threats to the Delta’s fishery and ecosystem recovery, while finding a way to continue to deliver water to Californians throughout the state.

Co m m u n i t y Pro f i l e: Loc k m a n Fo un d a ti o n La Habrans have a strong sense of community loyalty, and the Lockman Foundation, a non-profit organization based in La Habra for almost 70 years, is a prime example. Dewey and Minna Lockman began their ministry programs in December 1942 using their earnings from running a thriving citrus er facility. Lockman’s form ranch in La Habra Valley, to form the Lockman Foundation in December of 1942. Their goal was to promote bible study programs for military men based locally at El Toro Marine Base in Orange County during World War II. After achieving success with these efforts they geared their programs toward children and established a Bible School Program. In Lockman’s stat e-of-the-art 44,0 1945, they purchased Foundation Press 00 square foot facilty on Eu clid Street. Publishers, which led to Bible translation, publication and worldwide distribution, the core of their non-profit operations today. The present-day operators, Dr. Robert Lambeth, President, and his son Pike Lambeth, Executive Vice President, have demonstrated a commitment to community by remaining at their present location on Euclid Street. The Lockman Foundation’s headquarters were formerly a 3,500 square foot house and 1,500 square foot garage. As expansion became necessary, the decision was made to construct a state-of-the-art 44,000 square foot building, with the intention of leasing 12,000 square feet of space. While waiting for their building to be constructed, Lockman Foundation was temporarily located in a very small industrial complex unit on Cypress Street in La Habra. The plan was to stay only eight months in these tight quarters, but instead, they waited an additional 10 months before moving into their new structure. It didn’t matter if the working conditions were not ideal because, as Pike Lambeth said, “Lockman began in La Habra, so it was important to keep that tradition in staying in La Habra even for a temporary move.” La Habrans can be proud of the efforts of local businesses and organizations to remain and thrive in La Habra. The Lockman Foundation is just one example of many where a local entity has made a life-long commitment to the La Habra community.
