A family affair Local district-level Republican delegates include married couples and families.

CJ Dablo Staff Writer

Night Dive event on Thursday, July 14 from 7pm to 11pm will be Pow! Wow!-themed and feature programming with participating artists and activities on the front lawn in view of the mural.

“Art helps people make an emotional connection to the social and environmental issues of the day,” said Jerry Schubel, president and CEO of the Aquarium of the Pa-

Donald Trump has earned a very loyal California delegation.

All 172 delegates from the state will be supporting the presumptive Republican presidential nominee at this month’s Republican National Convention (RNC).

The RNC literally has become a family affair for many of the local delegates who will represent the congressional districts covering Long Beach and Signal Hill.

From Congressional District 44, the delegates are Gregory Hetzer, Kristin Hetzer and Charles Moran.

From Congressional District 47, the delegates are Mari Barke, Margo Lynch and Joy Neugebauer.

Moran shared a laugh when he mentioned how his parents, Tom and Becky Moran, will be joining him in Cleveland and serving as alternates.

“The family that conventions together!” Moran joked.

He said he and his parents typically agree on politics. The 35-year-old professional political consultant defended Trump.

“I mean, there can be…the people who prognosticate in the coffee-klatch circle in Washington, DC and the editorial boards who…look at this as an anathema,” Moran said, “but at the end of the day, he’s winning elections.

People were voting for him.”

The congressional-district level delegates for the Republican Party had to undergo an application process, and political experts like Moran would likely stand out when the Trump campaign had to determine who to send to Cleveland. He has had a career in political consulting and fundraising, but he has also notably served with the Log Cabin Republicans, a national advocacy group for LGBT Republicans.

He still is involved with the organization now, but previously, he headed the LA chapter of Log

Portuguese street artist Pantonio (pictured working on one of his characteristic blue and black works in Paris, France in 2014) will create a largescale yet temporary mural at the Aquarium of the Pacific next week as part of festivities for Pow! Wow! Long Beach.

A city becomes a canvas Artists from around the world will again create large murals in Long Beach.

Cory Bilicko Managing Editor

A year after artists from around the world arrived in Long Beach to adorn exterior walls of historic buildings with large-scale murals, Pow! Wow!, the Hawaii-based arts organization behind the project, will return to the city next week with 28 artists transforming local structures into huge canvases.

Founded by visual artists Jasper Wong and Kamea Hadar, Pow!

Wow! was originally centered around an event in Hawaii for Valentine’s Day, but it has evolved into a global network of artists that organize gallery shows, lecture series, schools for art and music, mural projects, concerts and liveart projects spanning the globe. Its organizers say the network now boasts over 100 artists and is expanding to include projects in other countries.

One of the local buildings that will get the Pow! Wow! treatment this time around is the Aquarium of the Pacific. Portuguese street artist Pantonio (Antonio Correia) will paint its nearly 2,600-squarefoot front wall, but it will only be

The inspiration behind the temporary art piece will be the Aquarium’s new Vanishing Animals exhibit, the aim of which is to educate the public about the potential for mass extinction in the ocean and what can be done to prevent it.

A growing crisis The LB City Council requests a draft ordinance that would declare a state of emergency on homelessness.

Denny Cristales Editorial Assistant

Graph by Denny Cristales | Signal Tribune Source: 2015 Long Beach Biennial Homeless Count

Although numbers based off the 2015 Long Beach Biennial Homeless Count show a decrease in the homelessness population beginning in 2011, the growing numbers of the issue statewide is still a concern amongst Long Beach councilmembers.

Following a trend recently taken by the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors and the California State Assembly, the City of Long Beach– at least the Long Beach City Council– has also opted to request a state declaration of emergency on the issue of homelessness.

The Long Beach City Council voted in favor of an agenda item Tuesday that would request City Attorney Charles Parkin to draft a resolution to Gov. Jerry Brown and the California Legislature to declare a state of emergency on the homelessness issue in an effort to further address the problem and guide resources to support major cities in California.

The council approved the vote in an attempt to reduce the homeless population.

“The amount of homeless people is a big concern,” said 6th

District Councilmember Dee Andrews at the July 5 council meeting. “I think, at times, I have stopped and spoken to some of these individuals, and all they need is a little help... This is a worldwide problem right now.

Homelessness is just not a joke.

I mean, when you just take a look anywhere and everywhere, especially in the city of Long Beach and Los Angeles County, we have to take a real serious concern... This problem is really an epidemic, and we really need to do something about that.”

The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors approved a similar request in June. The California State Assembly also adopted a request for Brown to declare a state of emergency on homelessness as of last week.

According to the 2016 Los Angeles County Homeless Count results, LA County has experienced a 5.7-percent increase in its homeless population compared to last year– jumping from an estimated 44,359 individuals to 46,874.

The Long Beach numbers show a decrease. The Long Beach Biennial Homeless Count in 2015 reported a total of 2,345 homeless individuals (see graph).

Eighth District Councilmember Al Austin, who helped put the agenda item forward along with councilmembers Lena Gonzalez, Roberto Uranga and Rex Richardson, also claimed during the council meeting that the statewide homeless population count was up to 115,000. And despite Long Beach steadily showing a decrease in its numbers, the issue still remains a growing concern.

“Throughout the region, we are seeing an increased number of homelessness,” Austin said. “So, given the growing homeless crisis in our city, county and state, it is important for our city, the city of Long Beach, to be active in this issue and join in the call for the State to provide resources see HOMELESS page 15

OPINION

Thoughts Publisher

A

By Neena Strichart

couple of weeks ago, I called Mom to have a chat with her and to check and see how she was feeling. Her response was, “I’m feeling a little dauncy.”

Not knowing the meaning of the word “dauncy,” I gathered by the tone of her voice that she probably meant she was feeling a bit blue.

I quickly asked, “How would you like to feel undauncy?” Her voice perked up as I told her I thought we should make a date for the next day that would include a bit of shopping and a stop for iced coffee.

The next day we did just that.

What a lovely day we had driving around doing errands and taking a rest stop at a coffee house that served not only yummy coffee, but tasty gluten-free treats as well.

That evening, I decided to look up the definition of the word “dauncy.” During my search, I found a fabulous article on mentalfloss.com written by a fellow by the name of Paul Anthony Jones. Within his writing titled “50 Old British Dialect Words to Incorporate into Conversation,” I found the word “dauncy.” I was so excited to get an answer to the definition of the odd word.

Thinking further about the matter, I decided that I would love to share the information with my readers, but I knew that in order to do so I would need to get permission from Mr. Jones. Taking a chance on getting his approval, I immediately searched for his contact information. Within about five minutes, I hit pay dirt as I located what I believed to be his email contact.

I dashed off a quick message telling him a bit about the Signal Tribune, and my 96-year-old mother using the word “dauncy.” I ended the email asking for his okay to run his piece. Sure enough, the next morning I found the following in my private email: Hi Neena, Thanks so much for your email, and what a terrific story! I spend so much time reading up on obscure words in dictionaries that it’s easy to forget they’re still likely in use somewhere!

By all means, feel free to reuse the article– I believe the final decision rests with Mental Floss, on whose website the article was published, but in instances like this in the past they’ve been happy for material to be reproduced so long as there’s a credit line, so I’m sure the same will apply here.

Thanks again for your interest, and great to hear you liked the article!

All very best wishes,

Paul We thank Paul for his response and for allowing us to print his article to share with our loyal readers.

Here are his words: 50 Old British Dialect Words to Incorporate into Conversation The 50 words listed here are all genuine entries taken from Wright’s English Dialect Dictionary as well as a number of other equally fantastic local British glossaries, including John Jamieson’s Etymological Dictionary of the Scottish Language (1808), Francis Grose’s Glossary of Provincial and Local Words Used in England (1787), and John Ray’s Collection of South and East-Country Words (1691). Ranging from the bizarre to the useful, they all would make a brilliant addition to anyone’s vocabulary.

APTYCOCK: A quick-witted or intelligent young man. (SW England) BANG-A-BONK: It might not look like it, but this is a verb meaning “to sit lazily on a riverbank.” (Gloucestershire) BAUCHLE: A name for an old worn out shoe, and in particular one that no longer has a heel—although it was also used figuratively to refer to a pointless or useless person. (Ireland) CLIMB-TACK: A cat that likes to walk along high shelves or picture rails is a climb-tack. (Yorkshire) CLOMPH: To walk in shoes which are too large for your feet.

(Central England) CRAMBO-CLINK: Also known as crambo-jink, this is a word for poor quality poetry—or, figuratively, a long-winded and ultimately pointless conversation.

(Scots) CRINKIE-WINKIE: A groundless misgiving, or a poor reason for not doing something. (Scots) CRUM-A-GRACKLE: Any awkward or difficult situation. (SW England) CRUMPSY: Short-tempered and irritable. Probably a local variation of “grumpy.” (Central England) CUDDLE-ME-BUFF: Why call it beer when you can call it cuddle-me-buff? (Yorkshire) CULF: The loose feathers that come out of a mattress or cushion—and which “adhere to the clothes of any one who has lain upon it,” according to Wright.

(Cornwall) CURECKITYCOO: To coo like a dove—or, figuratively, to flirt and canoodle with someone. (Scots) DAUNCY: If someone looks noticeably unwell, then they’re dauncy. Originally an Irish and

northern English word, this eventually spread into colloquial American English in the 19th century. (Ireland) DOUP-SCUD: Defined by Wright as “a heavy fall on the buttocks.”

(NE Scots) EEDLE-DODDLE: A person who shows no initiative in a crisis.

Also used as an adjective to mean “negligent,” or “muddle-headed.” (Scots) FAUCHLE: Fumbling things and making mistakes at work because you’re so tired? That’s fauchling.

(Scots) FLENCH: When the weather looks like it’s going to improve but it never does, then it’s flenched.

(Scots) FLOBY-MOBLY: The perfect word for describing the feeling of not being unwell, but still not quite feeling your best. A Scots equivalent was atweesh-an-atween.

(Central England) HANSPER: Pain and stiffness felt in the legs after a long walk.

(Scots) INISITIJITTY: A worthless, ridiculous looking person. (Central England) JEDDARTY-JIDDARTY: Also spelled jiggerdy-jaggardy. Either way it means entwined or tangled.

(NW England) LENNOCHMORE: A larger-than-average baby. Comes from the Gaelic leanabh mor, meaning “big child.” (Scots) LIMPSEY: Limp and flaccid, often used in reference to someone just before they faint. Originally from the easternmost counties of England, but borrowed into the United States in the 1800s—Walt Whitman and Harriet Beecher Stowe both used it in their writing.

(East England) MUNDLE: As a verb, mundle means to do something clumsily, or to be hampered or interrupted while trying to work. As a noun, a mundle is a cake slice or a wooden spatula—to lick the mundle but burn your tongue means to do something enjoyable, regardless of the consequences. (Central England) NAWPY: A new pen. (Lincolnshire) NIPPERKIN: A small gulp or draught of a drink, said to be roughly equal to one-eighth of a pint. (SW England) OMPERLODGE: To disagree with or contradict someone. (Bedfordshire) OUTSPECKLE: A laughing stock. (Scots) PADDY-NODDY: A long and tedious story. (Lincolnshire) PARWHOBBLE: To monopolize a conversation. (SW England) PEG-PUFF: Defined as “a young woman with the manners of an old one.” (Northern England) POLRUMPTIOUS: Raucous.

Rude. Disruptive. Polrumptious.

(Kent) QUAALTAGH: The first person you see after you leave your house. Comes from an old Celtic New Year tradition in which the first person you see or speak to on the morning of January 1, the quaaltagh, was interpreted as a

sign of what was to come in the year ahead. (Isle of Man) RAZZLE: To cook something so that the outside of it burns, but the inside of it stays raw. You can also razzle yourself by warming yourself by a fire. (Yorkshire/East England) SHACKBAGGERLY: An adjective describing anything left “in a loose, disorderly manner.” (Lincolnshire) SHIVVINESS: The uncomfortable feeling of wearing new underwear. Shiv is an old word for thick, coarse wool or linen. (Yorkshire) SILLERLESS: Literally “silverless”—or, in other words, completely broke. (Scots) SLITHERUM: A dawdling, slow-moving person. (East England) SLIVING: A thin slice of bread or meat, or a splinter of wood. (Yorkshire) SLOCHET: To walk with your shoes nearly coming off your feet.

Or to walk with your shoelaces untied. Or to walk slowly because your shoes are too big. (SW England) SPINKIE-DEN: A woodland clearing full of flowers. (Scots) TEWLY-STOMACHED: On its own, tewly means weak or sickly, or overly sensitive or delicate.

Someone who is tewly-stomached has a weak stomach, or a poor constitution. (East England) THALTHAN: Also spelled tholthan, a thalthan is a part-derelict building. (Isle of Man) TITTY-TOIT: To spruce or tidy up. (Yorkshire) UNCHANCY: Sometimes used to mean mischievous or unlucky, but also used to describe something potentially dangerous, or, according to Wright, “not safe to meddle with.” (Northern England) VARGLE: Means either to work in a messy or untidy way, or to perform an unpleasant task.

(Scots) VARTIWELL: The little metal loop that the latch of a gate hooks into? That’s the vartiwell. According to the OED, it probably takes its name from an old French word for the bottom hinge of a gate, vervelle. (Eastern England) WEATHER-MOUTH: A bright, sunny patch of sky on the horizon flanked by two dense banks of cloud is the weather-mouth.

(Scots) YAWMAGORP: A yawm is a yawn, and a gorp is a mouth. So a yawmagorp is a lounger or idler, or someone who seems constantly to be yawning and stretching wearily. (Yorkshire) ZWODDER: The last entry in the English Dialect Dictionary describes “a drowsy, stupid state of body or mind.” It’s probably related to another word, swadder, used to mean “to grow weary with drinking.” (SW England)1081 Paul Anthony Jones is a writer and musician from Newcastle upon Tyne.

COMMENTARY What is prematurity?

By Antoine Soliman, M.D. Neonatal Intensive Care Unit medical director Miller Children’s & Women’s Hospital Long Beach With the advancement of medicine and prenatal care, prematurity is declining in the U.S. In 2006, the preterm birth rate was 12.8 percent, and in 2013 it dropped to 11.4. Even with these advancements, one in nine babies are born prematurely in the U.S. each year.

Prematurity is when a baby is born at least three weeks before the designated due date (37 weeks). A full-term baby is born between 37 and 40 weeks. Depending on the arrival of the baby, there are different types of prematurity: • Micropreemie: born before 26 weeks or weighing less than 1 lb. 12 oz.

• Very premature: born between 27 and 30 weeks • Moderately premature: born between 31 and 34 weeks • Late pre-term infant: born between 34 and 37 weeks During pregnancy, a baby meets growth and development milestones each week. When a baby is born prematurely, they are more likely to experience health problems because they did not spend a full 40 weeks in the womb. Since the baby had less time in the womb, they may have some medical conditions that need to be taken care of in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).

Common health concerns for premature babies include jaundice, feeding challenges, respiratory issues and apnea.

Even if a woman has a “normal” pregnancy, there is still a risk of having a premature baby. Some known risk factors for prematurity include: previous premature birth; multiples (twins, triplets); problems with uterus/cervix; chronic health problems; certain infections during pregnancy; and alcohol, tobacco and drug usage.

Getting early prenatal care can keep a woman and her doctor informed of the progress of the pregnancy from conception to birth. In addition, having the baby at a hospital with a NICU, like Miller Children’s & Women’s Hospital Long Beach, will ensure immediate medical attention, if necessary.

The NICU at Miller Children’s & Women’s Hospital Long Beach cares for more than 1,400 critically ill and premature infants each year and is one of 22 hospitals in California to feature a regional Level III NICU, which is the highest designation available in California. This means the unit must meet strict state regulatory criteria to provide the necessary care for sick infants who need immediate surgery, or who weigh less than two pounds.

The NICU also features a Complex Care Area within the unit that ensures patients with a severe diagnosis or pending procedures and surgeries receive special attention and care. The care team assigned to each complex care area patient stays with him or her throughout their stay.

Prematurity is not necessarily something that can be prevented, but it is important for a woman to pay attention to her body during pregnancy to ensure her baby gets the best start.

Miller Children’s also offers prenatal education classes. Visit MillerChildrens.org/NICU or call 1-800-MEMORIAL.

Letters are due by noon on the Tuesday before desired publication date. The Signal Tribune reserves the right to edit ­letters for grammar, language and space requirements. Letters must be 500 words or less. The Signal Tribune will publish no more than one “pro” letter and one “con” letter on a particular topic in a single issue. The Signal ­Tribune does not print letters that refer substantially to articles in other publications and might not print those that have recently been printed in other ­publications or otherwise presented in a public forum. Letters to the editor and commentaries are the opinions of the authors and do not necessarily reflect those of the Signal Tribune or its staff. Although the editorial staff will attempt to verify and/or correct i­ nformation when possible, letters to the editor and commentaries are opinions, and readers should not assume that they are statements of fact. Letter-writers will be identified by their professional titles or affiliations when, and only when, the editorial staff deems it relevant and/or to provide context to the letter. We do not run letters to the editor submitted by individuals who have declared their candidacies for public office in upcoming races. This policy was put in place because, to be fair, if we publish one, we would have to publish all letters submitted by all candidates. The volume would no doubt eliminate space for letters submitted by other readers. Instead, we agree to interview candidates and print stories about political races in an objective manner and offer very reasonable advertising rates for those candidates who wish to purchase ads.

‘Connecting neighborhoods’ one bike project at a time

Sean Belk Contributing Writer

Long Beach officials hope to create a safer passage for bicyclists, pedestrians and automobile drivers alike traveling from downtown to north Long Beach by installing a series of circular medians and bike lanes along neighborhood streets.

During two community meetings on June 30, city officials presented local residents with designs to build a nearly 9.5-mile north-to-south bike route that would extend from 3rd Street in downtown to the northern boundary of the city.

The first meeting was conducted at the Expo Arts Center in Bixby Knolls, and the second meeting took place at 8th District Councilmember Al Austin’s office.

Plans call for creating a “bike boulevard,” similar to the one installed nearly six years ago on Vista Street in Belmont Heights, that would start along Daisy Avenue in the Wrigley neighborhood, cut over to Linden Avenue through Bixby Knolls and end on Myrtle Avenue in north Long Beach.

During the second community meeting, which drew a crowd of about a dozen residents, Nate Baird, the city’s mobility coordinator, gave a Powerpoint presentation on the bike corridor project that he said is expected to cost nearly $2 million, funded through state and federal “safe routes to school” grants.

Once designs are finalized in coming months, construction on the bike project is expected to begin within about a year, Baird said, adding that funding has already been secured and the main goal of the city is to get consensus from local residents and constituents.

The project comes as the City has rolled out its bike-share program that launched earlier this year with an initial 100 rental bikes at 10 stations.

The City has also moved forward with expanded and redesigned bike lanes, including a new three-mile bike path on the beach and a new 8.5-mile bike lane on Pacific Avenue, connecting Ocean Boulevard to Del Amo Boulevard.

Bike boulevards, which include circular medians called roundabouts and traffic circles designed to slow automobile traffic to create a safe passage for pedestrians and bicyclists, provide a sufficient alternative to protected bike lanes or cycle tracks, which require the removal of parking spaces, he said.

Asked whether the bike boulevard would require the removal of parking spaces, Baird said the only changes anticipated are that red curbs will likely be extended at some of the traffic-circle intersections, possibly eliminating about one and a half parking spaces.

He noted that the City is focusing on creating more bicycle

infrastructure, such as the beach path, cycle tracks and bike boulevards, that provide a safe and “comfortable” route for all ages, ranging from 8 to 80 years old, unlike standard bike lanes that don’t provide as much protection.

In addition, Baird said bike boulevards are designed to encourage residents to experience nearby neighborhoods.

“The project really is about connecting neighborhoods and local destinations,” he said. “We’re finding that more and more people are interested in bike lanes that serve not just the confident rider but also children and those who are older and slower.”

The goal of the bike boulevard is to encourage bicyclists to use residential neighborhood streets that have a low volume of automobile traffic. Baird added that increasing the number of bicyclists on neighborhood streets also helps calm traffic. He pointed out that, once the traffic circles are installed, left turns will be prohibited at various intersections along the route.

City officials also have confirmed that the traffic circles and roundabouts have been designed to allow easy passage for emergency vehicles, which was an issue when the Vista Street Bike Boulevard was first installed.

Busier streets, such as Atlantic Avenue and Long Beach Boulevard, would require protected bike lanes or cycle tracks– a proposal that would require more traffic planning and could be a possibility in the future, Baird said.

In addition, he pointed out that the Daisy Avenue bike boulevard will provide a safe alternative to the Los Angeles River bike path, which fails to provide access to key destinations in the city.

“The LA River is really a great facility but really doesn’t connect to local destinations,” Baird said.

The City will continue to work on its bike master plan, he said, adding that suggestions from residents and stakeholders on possible mitigation measures to alleviate traffic impacts to nearby streets are encouraged.

Theatre review

How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying at Long Beach Playhouse Anita W. Harris Culture Writer

This is one business opportunity you don’t want to miss!

Superbly directed by Anthony Galleran, How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, a delightful musical comedy about climbing the corporate ladder, is now playing at the Long Beach Playhouse Mainstage Theatre through Aug. 6.

The late-1950s play– by Abe Burrows, Jack Weinstock and Willie Gilbert, with music and lyrics by Frank Loesser– is tightly written and witty, with catchy songs galore (none excessively long) and a story arc tracing one young man’s quick ascent to the top using the advice of a satirically hilarious how-to-succeed manual (voiced by Mitchell Nunn).

Along the way, all kinds of corporate antics ensue involving competitive backstabbing, secret affairs, nepotism and, of course, the negotiations of love.

Characters are perfectly cast and outfitted to fit their roles in late-1950s/early-1960s styled suits, dresses and hair, and the corporate setting is playfully evoked with turquoise furniture, corded telephones and typewriters.

The two leads especially are excellent.

Steven Alcantar (the young, ambitious Finch) and Monica Beld (perky, marriage-minded Rosemary) embody their pivotal roles impeccably, both in terms

Cabin Republicans, worked as the chairman of the organization in California for four years and even served as its national spokesman for two years.

Moran says he’s never felt any discrimination in the GOP. “In fact, in a lot of ways, it was actually easier to be gay in the Republican Party in California than it is to be a Republican in the LGBT community,” he said. Moran emphasized how the party is a natural choice for small-business owners who feel they should keep more of what they’ve earned, for others who believe they should defend themselves with their 2nd-amendment rights and those who want to make their own personal healthcare decisions.

Kristin and Gregory Hetzer are a married couple from San Pedro.

They both work in the financial industry. Kristin Hetzer owns her own investment-advisory firm. She has attended the RNC as an alternate before, but this is her first time as a delegate. She is looking forward to the convention and expects the party won’t be splintered by other candidates who are vying for the official

of acting and very skilled vocals.

Allison Aoun (down-to-earth Smitty) provides a strong supporting role and singing, and Russell Malang creates a remarkably energetic caricature of the boss’s scheming nephew, Bud Frump.

Mallory Kerwin is not to be missed as bombshell Hedy LaRue, playing this over-the-top role with verve as her voluptuous character, simultaneously clueless and savvy, also aspires to get ahead.

The dynamic ensemble cast of workers and management move fluidly through complex stage maneuvers, their collective vitality infectious as they weave through the audience (an interactivity and closeness allowed by U-shaped Mainstage seating that you wouldn’t necessarily get at a venue in LA for a comparable performance).

Choreography by Tanya Thompson is creative and ambitious, and the cast pulls off sophisticated ensemble dance steps with poise.

On top of that, the music is live! Directed by Bill Wolfe, a piano, bass and drum kit lurk behind a painted screen hanging in the boss’s office at the back of the stage.

The production is technically polished as well, with lighting expertly adjusted to match actors’ movements as they circulate the stage, and sound nicely modulated to balance actors’ voices and music, with microphones judiciously employed.

Certain scenes are priceless

nomination at the RNC. Hetzer has served as president of Peninsula Harbor Republicans and volunteered for Beach Cities Republicans and other campaigns for candidates who ran for state assembly and Congress. She’s even worked for Mitt Romney’s campaign, for which she served as an alternate.

“I really think it’s going to be a unified convention,” Hetzer said. “Our whole delegation from California is solidly behind Donald Trump.”

She may be right about California’s delegation. Tim Clark, the California director for the Trump campaign, described the state’s delegation as a “solid voting bloc” for the presumptive nominee.

“It’s a good place to be,” Clark said. “It’s a fun place to be.”

Clark was asked about the congressional districts that represent Signal Hill and Long Beach and other cities in the South Bay area and whether the fact that Democrats outnumber the Republicans in Long Beach is any concern. He didn’t acknowledge that there were any challenges to convincing Democrats and other potential independents.

“So, I think that Long Beach is exactly in our prime target area for [the] Reagan Democrat, that swing voter, [who] can deliver victory for Trump

send-ups, such as during the song “Rosemary,” in which the lovers are framed by two cleaning ladies forming their arms into a heart and a male office worker serving as a reluctant Cupid, sardonically tossing rose petals from a pail.

And while some elements of office life still resonate today (what,

no coffee?!), we’re glad to have come a long way from others (no, secretaries are not toys).

Whether or not Finch achieves his goal, How to Succeed in Business more than succeeds as excellent and engaging local entertainment!

in California,” Clark said.

Mari Barke acknowledged that her family is also very firm in their support of the presumptive nominee. Her husband, Jeffrey Barke, is an alternate delegate along with their son Samuel, who just turned 18.

“There’s some committed people

to the cause,” Mari Barke said. A former supporter of Ben Carson, she had spent long hours on the Iowa campaign before Carson backed out of the race and supported Trump.

She saw that both candidates had a lot in common, and she praised Trump’s intelligence.

“[He] wants to preserve our country and make it a better place for generations to come,” she said.

It does take a considerable amount of dedication to represent the area at the RNC. All delegates will be expected to pay their own way to make it to the RNC from July 18 to 21. ✦

Comic book-themed exhibit to highlight socio-political issues, marginalized groups The Port to Learning Gallery at the Museum of Latin American Art (MoLAA) will present Artists Assemble!: Empowerment and Inspiration in Contemporary Comics, an exhibition that features artists who highlight characters, events and stories traditionally excluded from mainstream comic book art and culture. Artists Assemble! includes individual sketches, hand-drawn panels, minicomics, comic books, video art and digital images, as well as illustrations, sculptures, installation, paintings, and photographs.

The narrative format and fantastical nature of comics provide readers with the opportunity to explore new and imagined worlds enriched by both historically based and invented mythologies, according to MoLAA staff.

While classic American comics generally focused on white male superheroes whose mission was to protect and defend the status quo, some publications in both the U.S. and Latin America tackled controversial socio-political issues and featured marginalized groups.

As the U.S. becomes more diverse, so do comics, with independent artists repurposing or developing narratives that revolve around marginalized communities and cultures, contemporary concerns and changing identities.

Artists Assemble! highlights topics like indigenous rights and mythologies, gender roles and sexual identity, environmental activism, and contemporary political movements on both sides of the border, validating the stories of groups and movements historically silenced in popular media.

Featured artists include Lalo Alcaráz, JOON Alvarado, Juan Bastardo, Cory Bilicko, Boudika Comics (Claudia Aguirre & Eva Cabrera), Enrique Chagoya, Donovan Vim Crony, Miguel Det, Dog Knit Sweater (Daisy Rosas & Danny Miller), Andre Ducci, Kim Dwinell, Daniela Edburg, El Polaco Scalerandi, Kat Fajardo, Felipe Flores, José Flores, Eric García, Guillermo Gómez-Peña, Crystal González, Raúl González, Javier Hernán-

cod, octopuses, ropes, boats and even mermaids serving as subjects.

His work also often carries social messages, echoing modern crises and aiming to disrupt the establishment.”

Last April, Pantonio painted a mural on one of the main streets of Chernobyl in the Ukraine to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the nuclear disaster there.

Yoro, a New York-based artist, has created a series of portraits using oil paint on abandoned or lifeless concrete walls. Yoro, who was born in Hawaii and surfs, uses a stand-up paddleboard to access the walls then uses anchors and rope to steady himself as he paints. Each portrait takes a couple of hours to an entire day to finish. He says he was inspired by an underwater photoshoot he did in which he realized he could fulfill his creativity as an artist while still having fun in the water.

LBCC hires director for new Student Success and Support Program

Sonia De La Torre-Iniguez

Long Beach City College has hired Sonia De La Torre-Iniguez as the director of the Student Success and Support Program (SSSP).

She is the first person to permanently serve in this newly created position at LBCC. SSSP is a statewide program within the California community college system, with the goal of helping students achieve their educational objectives in a more timely manner. SSSP is composed of four core components: orientation, assessment, counseling and educational planning, and follow-up services for at-risk students.

“SSSP is an important statewide effort to help more students earn degrees or transfer to a university,” LBCC President-Superintendent Eloy Ortiz Oakley said.

“With Sonia’s extensive experience with student success initiatives, she is the right person to lead the program here at LBCC.” De La Torre-Iniguez is responsible for managing LBCC’s SSSP efforts by developing programs and initiatives in partnership with existing student services, such as counseling and assessment and orientation. She will collaborate with faculty and staff to identify and provide academic resources.

De La Torre-Iniguez comes to LBCC from Scripps College in Claremont, where she was the senior assistant dean for Academic Resources and Services. While there, she expanded the First-Generation @ Scripps program, which received national recognition.

Prior to Scripps, De La Torre-Iniguez worked in student advising positions at UC Riverside and UC Davis. She holds a bachelor’s degree in communications from UC Davis and a master’s degree in educational counseling and guidance from CSU San Bernardino.

Cambodia resolution passes out of subcommittee

A House of Representatives bipartisan resolution authored by Congressmember Alan Lowenthal (CA-47) and Congressmember Matt Salmon (AZ05) calling for the respect of human rights, democracy and the rule of law in Cambodia has unanimously passed out of the House Foreign Affairs Committee’s Asia and the Pacific Subcommittee. The resolution now heads to the full House Foreign Affairs Committee for consideration.

“I am deeply concerned that there is an accelerated deterioration of democracy and human rights in Cambodia,” Lowenthal said. “This resolution states, unequivocally, that the United States supports an environment in Cambodia that not only respects polit-

ical opposition, but both human rights and the rule of law.”

The resolution points out that under the nearly 30-year rule of Prime Minister Hun Sen, political freedom in Cambodia has been under increasing threat from the Hun Sen government.

“It is critical for Cambodia’s standing in the global community that the upcoming general election in 2017 and 2018 be free and fair,” Lowenthal said.

“Credibility for this election can only be achieved if the Hun Sen government ends all political repression and respects the rights and freedoms of the Cambodian people.”

The credibility of the last general election, held in 2013, was criticized by numerous domestic and interna-

tional organizations.

While the Cambodia National Rescue Party, the country’s main opposition party, made historic gains in the 2013 election, opposition party members face continual harassment by security forces and the Cambodian government.

The government of Hun Sen has acted to restrict not only the political opposition, but civil society, nongovernmental organizations, and independent media, according to Lowenthal’s office.

Since the 2013 elections, opposition parliamentarians have been expelled from parliament, harassed by the government, and even attacked in the streets of Phnom Penh, Lowenthal said.

Med-pot initiative petition signatures verified Long Beach City Clerk Maria de la Luz Garcia announced July 5 that the number of verified signatures filed by proponents relative to a Regulation of Medical Marijuana Businesses initiative has achieved sufficiency.

The petition contained 35,009 signatures. In order for the petition to be deemed sufficient, 24,909 valid signatures were required. That number is equal to 10 percent of the total registered voters in Long Beach (249,089), as reported by the Los Angeles County Clerk/Registrar Recorder on Jan. 12, 2016.

As provided by the California State Elections Code 9115(b), a measure can qualify via random sampling of petition signatures if the sampling projects a number of valid signatures 110 percent or greater of the required number. The medical marijuana initiative needed at least 27,402 (110 percent) projected valid signatures to qualify by random sampling. The petition had, on a projected basis, 28,436 (114.16 percent) valid signatures based on the random sample of signatures.

The city clerk certified the results

Tuesday and will now prepare and present a certification of sufficiency report to the city council.

California State Elections Code Section 9215 provides that the city council must take one of the following actions within 10 days of the clerk’s certification of sufficiency: adopt the proposed ordinance, without alteration; submit the ordinance, without alteration, to the voters; or order a report at the meeting at which the certification of the petition is presented.

The culinary team and staff from The Federal Bar will treat 100 homeless men, women and children to a multi-course lunch on Tuesday, July 12 starting at 11am. The luncheon, which will take place at Beacon for Him Ministries homeless outreach,

439 West Anaheim St., will feature lunch specialties prepared by The Federal Bar’s culinary team Chef “T” Visoth Ouk and Chef Martin Zamora and served by The Federal Bar staff.

“We realize that there are many among us who don’t get the chance to dine at our restaurant,” said Jeff Osborn, general manager of The Federal Bar. “Holding this

luncheon is our way of including everyone in The Federal Bar’s new lunch menu launch while bringing attention to the city’s growing homelessness concern.”

The clients at Beacon for Him will be treated to The Federal Bar’s specialty mac & cheese, signature sandwiches, homemade kettle chips, baked beans and homemade cookies for dessert.

“We were excited and thankful when The Federal Bar approached us about serving lunch to our clients,” said Shannon James, president at Beacon for Him Ministries. “Our clientele does not get the opportunity to enjoy our local restaurants so this will be very much appreciated.”

Juvenile held in connection with robbery case On June 28, 2016, the District Attorney’s Office filed multiple offenses against a 15-yearold resident of Long Beach for his involvement in an attempted robbery and assault with a deadly weapon incident, according to Long Beach Police Department (LBPD).

On Monday, Dec. 7, 2015, at approximately 10:45pm, officers were dispatched to an assault call in the 200 block of St. Joseph Avenue. Arriving officers discovered that two male adults were approached by two male subjects who attempted to rob them, and the victims and suspects became

involved in a physical altercation.

A witness intervened, and the suspects, described as two male Hispanics in their late teens to early 20s, ran to a nearby vehicle and fled. No property was taken.

During the altercation, both victims sustained stab wounds to the torso. Long Beach Fire Department transported the victims, with what appeared to be non-life threatening injuries, to a local hospital. The case was investigated as possibly hate motivated.

Detectives were able to identify the subject responsible from preserved evidence left at the scene of the stabbing.

On June 24, 2016, West Division patrol officers were dispatched to the area of Pine Avenue and 16th Street regarding a group of male subjects chasing another individual throughout the neighborhood. A juvenile was detained, and, during the course of the investigation, officers believed he may be involved in the December 2015 incident.

On June 28, 2016, robbery detectives presented the case to the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office, which filed two counts of assault with a deadly weapon with a great bodily injury enhancement, and two counts

of attempt robbery against the 15-year-old petitioner. The juvenile was later transported to Los Padrinos Juvenile Hall. The second suspect remains outstanding, and the investigation is ongoing.

West Nile Virus continues to heat up in LA County Officials from the Greater Los Angeles County Vector Control District (GLACVCD) recommend residents keep insect repellent nearby as the hot season progresses. This past week, GLACVCD confirmed additional West Nile Virus activity for the first time this year in the following cities or communities: Burbank,

Canyon Country, Cerritos, Eagle Rock, La Mirada, North Hills, North Hollywood and Santa Fe Springs.

“As we continue into summer, we can expect more mosquito and virus activity,” said Levy Sun, the District’s public information officer. “If you wish to be bite-free, act now to prevent mosquito breeding.”

Vector control recommends that residents eliminate all standing water sources from properties and report mosquito problems and inoperable swimming pools/ponds to GLACVCD promptly.

West Nile virus is transmitted to people and animals through the bite of an infected mosquito.

Residents experiencing mosquito problems during the day or at night, even after dumping all standing water, can receive help from the Greater Los Angeles County Vector Control District at (562) 944-9656 or visit ReportMosquitoes.org .

LB officials to break ground on new civic center City officials will break ground on Friday, July 8 for the new Long Beach Civic Center, which will include a new City Hall, Port Headquarters and main library, along with a re-activated Lincoln Park and new residential, retail and commercial hotel development.

“The new civic center will strengthen the connection between City Hall and the community, help revitalize the downtown core and generate thousands of jobs,” said Long Beach Mayor Robert Garcia.

Located on the site of the former Long Beach Courthouse, the new City Hall and Port Headquarters will highlight governmental consolidation, shared use and functional synergy; the design will promote more openness and inclusiveness with the community.

“When we moved from the Harbor to our interim headquarters more than two years ago, it was always our intention to return to the downtown area, to a permanent home close to our facilities and business partners,” said Harbor Commission President Lori Ann Guzmán. “This groundbreaking brings that goal to fruition. I’d like to thank City and Port staff, and the Board of Harbor Commissioners for their commitment to make this iconic Civic Center project a reality.”

The development will be seismically safe and sustainably built, utilizing solar power and rain water storage systems, and it is targeted to achieve the U.S. Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Gold standard for environmental efficiency, according to city officials.

“The new civic center will serve as a lively center for community engagement, providing more vibrant and open spaces, enhanced accessibility options, increased connectivity, and improved public safety,” said Vice Mayor Suja Lowenthal.

The new main library will embrace 21st Century technology and provide free and equal access to information and support for lifelong-learning, officials said, adding that the multi-use building will be available to individuals, groups and events.

“The new civic center reflects the community’s vision and will enable us to provide even more efficient services to the residents here and throughout Long Beach,” said 1st District Councilmember Lena Gonzalez.

Amenities will include a multi-purpose event space, a dog park and a children’s play area.

The civic center is being developed under an innovative public-private partnership with Plenary-Edgemoor Civic Partners.

“We would like to thank the City and the Port for the opportunity to be in a long-term partnership delivering this transformative project, which will write a new chapter in the story of Long Beach,” said Plenary Concessions Executive Chairman Dale Bonner.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself.

Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being

auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property.

You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property.

NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (800) 7588052 or visit this Internet Web site www.homesearch.com, using the file number assigned to this case 15-37130. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.

COMMUNITY

Signal Tribune

Public invited to provide input on Queen Mary area development The public is invited to attend a Queen Mary Land Development Task Force (Task Force) workshop and provide input on future development of the area surrounding the Queen Mary. The free event is scheduled for Saturday, July 9, from 11am to 1pm, at the First Congregational Church of Long Beach, 241 Cedar Ave. “Long Beach has a historic opportunity to shape the future of an iconic landmark in our city,” said Mayor Robert Garcia. “Collaboration between the Task Force and community will provide guiding principles that will help revitalize the area and contribute to the success of Downtown.”

The workshop will feature an interactive presentation of the goals and objectives for future development of the Queen Mary leasehold area. The event will also offer the community and other stakeholders an opportunity to provide input on concepts and ideas to be included in a planning document that will outline guiding principles for development and use of the area surrounding the Queen Mary.

“Community involvement in this process is critical to the success of the future development of the area surrounding one of Long

In December 2015, a 12-member Queen Mary Land Development Task Force was appointed to establish an optimal approach for reimagining and developing the area around the ship and engage the public in the development process. In the last six months, the task force has hosted outreach events, including a site tour and comprehensive planning and design workshops, to solicit public input.

12-member Task Force was appointed to establish an optimal approach for reimagining and developing the area around the ship and engage the public in the development process. Over the past six months, the Task Force has held various outreach events, including a site tour and comprehensive planning and design workshops, to solicit public input.

“The Task Force has crafted [a] draft guiding development principles for the 64-acre area surrounding the iconic Queen Mary,” said Michael Bohn, Chair of the Task Force. “This is to ensure that new development is both bold and appropriate to Long Beach and at the same time complement the Queen Mary.”

In November 2015, the Long Beach City Council approved an Amended and Restated Queen Mary Master Lease and subsequent assignment to a new Master Lessee, Urban Commons, LLC, for the City-owned Queen Mary and adjacent shore side property. The Amended and Restated Lease provides the necessary modifications to attract new development, while also providing stronger support for the preservation and maintenance of the historic ship. This new lease provided a timely opportunity for a public visioning process to guide future development.

necessary for local governments to help address this glaring problem.”

The council’s request for a state declaration of emergency comes a little over a month after Long Beach councilmembers asked for a homelessness report from the city manager and the Department of Health and Human Services.

First District Councilmember Gonzalez initiated that request in May in order to get more data regarding homelessness.

Gonzalez noted the timeliness of the council’s request this past Tuesday and its correlation with the homelessness report. She said this “proactive approach” would be an effective way to minimize the issue.

“It marries on what we’ve been working on,” she said. “We’ve been looking to bring back a report in a few months with the health department that will talk about homelessness as a larger picture as it relates to housing and, of course, addressing children and families, because there is a larger number of children and families that are out on the streets at this moment, which makes it really tough.”

Austin said that the health department has various programs that provide outreach and services to homeless individuals in the city.

“However, this is the crisis of our day,” he added, “and more resources from the State are needed to address this problem.”

Seventh District Councilmember Uranga anticipates that declaring a state of emergency on the issue of homelessness could be exactly what the City and State need in order to highlight the problem.

“It’s a growing problem,” Uranga said. “It’s certainly a big one in my district. We’ve been fighting the good fight to have these people receive services, to receive housing. And it seems like nothing seems to work. So perhaps this motion would be providing some much needed attention on this issue so that we can address it throughout the city.” ✦
