Migrant children were brought to the Long Beach Convention Center on Thursday, April 22, and the City of Long Beach has created an online portal where local organizations and residents can make donations or volunteer their services at the site, according to a City press release. The facility is expected to hold up to 1,000 migrant children on a rolling basis, all of whom have relatives and sponsors living in the US that have been identified. The children will be held at the convention center until these relationships are confirmed by the federal government. The site will be fully funded by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). The HHS has a long history of funding sites that allow or perpetrate sexual violence or the forcible drugging of migrant children in custody. Donations for the new Migrant Children Support Fund are being collected by the Long Beach Community Foundation, and will purportedly be used to provide resources “intended to make the children more comfortable during their stay in Long Beach and during the reunification process,” according to a City press release. The City has made ongoing attempts to frame the approval of the convention center site as an altruistic move in the best interest of the children involved.

Where is your car most likely be stolen or burglarized in Signal Hill? Emma DiMaggio Production Manager
Did you get your car stolen or burglarized in Signal Hill last year? You’re not alone. In 2020, police calls to service for car theft increased 55% compared to the previous year, an increase from 103 in 2019 to 160 in 2020. A similar number of calls were made in 2018 when 155 residents reported their cars stolen. The trend stands true for car burglaries as well, which increased by 29% in 2020 compared to the previous year. In 2020, 237 vehicles were burglarized, compared with 183 in 2019 and 216 in 2018. So far this year, 62 cars have been burglarized. Signal Hill Police Department Detective Andrew Lopez said that right now, car burglaries are a “huge thing” for the department. see VEHICLE THEFT page 7

As many as 150 migrant children were expected to arrive at the Long Beach Convention Center Thursday, April 22, beginning its operation as a shelter that will house unaccompanied minors from the U.S.-Mexico border until they can be reunited with family or placed with sponsors. According to the U.S Department of Health and Human Services, the children will receive medical checks, clothing, toiletries, food and snacks. Long Beach Mayor Robert Garcia said they will also receive schooling and have recreational opportunities. “We absolutely should ensure that these facilities are quality and are places that are focused on the child and are really centered around helping,” Garcia said. He noted that the migrant children often are arriving at the U.S.- Mexico border “with no parents, no adults. They don’t have their family with them.” Such unaccompanied children can then wind up in detention facilities. “These humanitarian shelters are opening up here in California and across the country to bring children into a more humane setting, and hopefully reunifying them with (family),” Garcia said. Similar facilities are already operating in cities including San Diego and Dallas, and one will soon open at the Pomona Fairplex. The Long Beach Convention Center will be able to house as many as 1,000 see IMMIGRATION page 2

ith every tortilla Sandy Wall makes, she brings a little part of Mexico to Long Beach and surrounding communities. Wall hit the ground running when she officially launched her tortilla non-profit Pueblita in February 2021 jumping straight in to work on collaborations and campaigns. She quickly saw herself succeeding in one of her goals; to share the authentic feel of fresh tortillerias (tortilla shops) typically found in Mexican and Central American towns. “My mom’s originally from Mexico, so I’m first generation,” Wall said. “The Mexican culture is still very alive and present, so cooking [has] just always been a conversation with my mom about like all the little tortillerias that are in Mexico.” Pueblita’s name pays homage to the rich gastronomic city located in east-central Mexico, known for its mole poblano and chalupas. It’s also meant to be evocative of community. “I wanted people to feel like when they participate with Pueblita [that] this is their community,” she said. “We always leave an open door.” Wall runs the operation from her Long Beach apartment, mostly by herself with the help of her boyfriend, and
has a sharp emphasis on the brand’s social media marketing. Pueblita’s Instagram reads like an inviting cultural collage that highlights community. Wall’s other goal was to be present in her community through immediate action and, since Pueblita’s inception, has donated most of the proceeds to different organizations or campaigns. Wall’s first campaign raised $200 in half a month for St. Luke’s Episcopal Church’s Manna Meals program. The program serves hot meals, provides hot showers and fresh clothing donated every fourth Saturday. Currently, she’s laser-focused on the #MissionPossible campaign in collaboration with Urban Reset and LBC Resources, whose goal is to purchase 10 tablets and procure school supplies for children in need. “The event is just to kind of help kids, understanding that it’s a hard time financially,” Bruce McCall Jr., founder of Urban Reset, said of the campaign. “As well as you know transitioning from being at home [...] helping them to focus on their education.” Helping children succeed in their education is near and dear to McCall Jr., who through Urban Reset has been supporting their enrichment. For this reason, he was connected to Wall who has a similar mission. “I have a soft spot for kids because
I grew up in a low income, really low resource school,” Wall said of the inspiration behind the campaign. Wall grew up in San Bernardino, where she noted there was a lack of resources. Not wanting the children in her community to go through a similar educational fate, she decided to raise funds using her tortillas. “With COVID, all these kids are struggling with school,” Wall said. “I mean, if I was a student right now I would struggle, and I know if I was in a situation these kids were at when I was their age, I wouldn’t have a tablet. I would be sitting outside the library trying to figure [it] out on my phone.” The funds also come from a portion of the sales from LBC Resources T-shirts and Urban Reset sweatsuits. So far, Wall estimates approximately $900 has been raised. On Saturday, April 24, all three organizations will host their second pop up on Ocean Boulevard and Junipero Street where Wall will be selling fresh tortillas to raise funds for the campaign. The community has also been supporting #MissionPossible in the form of donations bought from an Amazon wish list, whose items Wall has stacked up in her apartment. The wish list contains three-ring binders, loose leaf paper, notebooks, scientific calculators and more that will
be instrumental as children continue learning from home, others returning to school after COVID-19 closures. Having an eye set intently on the future, Wall has also been busy in the process of planning an event that will aim to support Cambodia Town and the Asian community. “It’s going to be like a whole process of just healing,” Wall said. “Just a time for people to have a platform to talk about their experiences. It’s going to be educational.” Wall noted that the event will be open to everyone but will serve to uplift the Asian community, who have recently been targeted by hate crimes. The event’s date and location will be announced at a later time. Today however, Wall has just a minute to take in the community support visibly present in the steps of her apartment. “That’s just all been community donations,” Wall said of the school supplies packed up in Amazon boxes. “It’s been so amazing and so uplifting.” Those interested in entering the #MissionPossible tablet giveaway can fill out a form found on @pueblitatortilla’s Instagram and answer a few questions. The distribution event will take place on May 15 at Martin Luther King Jr. Park.

ime passes, people die and their memories and experiences are mostly lost. Some may have left diaries, letters, artifacts, books and genealogical information with family who later felt these recollections from a past generation would best be preserved in libraries. Such was the case with a 1949 donation from Mrs. A.S.C. Forbes to Long Beach Public Library. Over time librarians moved on, retired, eventually passed away and a new Main library was built. Those staff members who came later had brief information about this priceless donation, but didn’t have time to research and appreciate what they had. Thank goodness for newspapers which are vital to historical research. Without them I would not have been able to piece together this story of a theft I remember from 1983. On November 12, 1983, there was a little reported, major theft, from Long Beach Public Library’s Earl Burns Miller Special Collections Room. It seemed the thief had previously visited the room, which was open to walk-in visitors several hours a day, and knew exactly what he was looking for. That early Friday morning, the thief entered the building by climbing a window washing lift on the southeast side of the library, then slipped through an opening in a broken vent just above the windows. The lift was normally stored inside the building, but was left outside the night of the burglary, apparently by mistake. The library’s silent alarm wasn’t tripped until the thief left by one of the main doors. Police said the burglar tried to saw through the door of the special collections room, but failed because it was so thick. He then used a heavy pry bar. Seventeen* items mostly silver and porcelain antiques from the 1700s were stolen. Library officials put a price tag of $3,000 on two of the stolen items – a pair of sterling silver cups that were made in London in 1810, but said it was impossible to determine the value of the entire collection, which was housed in eight locked display cases. Also taken was a Bible and two other rare books. A request to the police for a report on the theft was not found. The items stolen were never recovered. Though not identified by name, an inventory of the collection found that items donated by Mrs. A.S.C. Forbes, were missing. They included a 1599 Bible and 1578 Concordance allegedly once owned by John Milton (1562-1647), an
English composer and father of poet John Milton (1608-1674). The value of both is today valued at $15,000, and would bring a much higher price if it was shown to have belonged to John Milton. Present day researchers could verify if the Bible and Concordance did indeed once belong to Milton, the composer, by looking at the hand writing in their margins. The hand writing, and the fact it was passed through the family, was the only proof of Milton’s ownership, librarian Lelia Seward told the Press Telegram in 1949 (4/9/1949). It was a “Breeches” Bible published in 1599. “Breeches” Bibles were so named because in their printing it referred to the garments made by Adam and Eve out of fig leaves as “breeches” (not aprons) in Genesis chapter three, verse seven. Until the appearance of the King James version the Breeches (or “Geneva”) Bible was the most popular Bible available. It was the Bible quoted by William Shakespeare in his plays; it was used by the Puritans and Pilgrims, who wanted nothing to do with the King James Bible of the Anglican Church, and the first Bible taken to America, brought over on the Mayflower. It was produced by John Calvin, John Knox, John Foxe and other English refugees in neutral Geneva, Switzerland, fleeing the persecution of Roman Catholic Queen Mary in England. It was first printed in 1560 and published until 1644. Textually, the Geneva Bible offered a number of radical changes. It was the first Bible in English to add numbered verses to each chapter of scripture. It was also printed in an easier-to-read “Roman Style Typeface” rather than the earlier “Gothic Blackletter Style Typeface.” In addition, it was the first “Study Bible” with extensive commentary notes in the margins. In fact, it was the presence of a note, which proclaimed the Pope an “antichrist,” that so outraged Queen Mary. Ironically, Protestants of all denominations today embrace the King James version of the Bible (which reads 90% the same as the Geneva), even though the King James version is not a Protestant Bible…it’s Anglican/Church of England. Long Beach Public Library secured the Bible, Concordance, and other items from the collection of Harrye Rebecca Piper Forbes, also known as Mrs. A.S.C. Forbes, a well-known California writer, whose books “California Missions and Landmarks” and “Mission Tales in the Days of the Dons” are most well-known. Mrs. Forbes placed the books in the library in memory of her husband, Armitage S.C. Forbes. Mr. Forbes was the son of the Reverend Edward Forbes to whom the books had been given by his grandfather, the

Reverend R. Jeffreys. (John Milton, the composer, married Sara Jeffreys). History reveals that John (the composer) Milton’s father, Richard Milton, a Roman Catholic, discovered the Bible in his son’s room. As a result, and since his son was rejecting Catholic belief, he was disinherited. The Bible acquired by the library was thought to be this one. Psalms bound in the back of the Bible were believed to have been compiled in part by the senior John Milton, one of the foremost composers of his day. Armitage Forbes received the books in a parcel carefully wrapped in velum, marked “The Milton Books.” It contained in addition to the Bible and Concordance, a small French prayer book, and two books of sermons. According to family tradition, the marginal notes in the 1578 Concordance were in Milton’s handwriting. In addition to the Bible and Concordance, Mrs. Forbes included in the public library’s memorial collection a large edition of “Paradise Lost,” by John Milton, the poet, illustrated by Gustave Dore. This was the first illustrated version of the poem and appeared in the fourth edition of the work in 1688. Also included in the donation were notes on the Forbes and Jeffrey’s families, photographs, two 17th century books of sermons, and a Hindustani manual written in 1845 by another Forbes ancestor, Duncan Forbes. A recent search of the holdings in the special collections room has not turned up anything of the Forbes donation, except a scrapbook. Perhaps, after reading this article, antiquarian book dealers, libraries and collectors will recall the sale or purchase of such items and help solve the mystery. The Long Beach Public Library Foundation, like many nonprofits, is suffering financially. Perhaps Long Beach officials would allow the possessor to keep the items they may not have known were stolen, for a price. The money going to the Library Foundation. *items stolen from the collection donated by the Millers: a pair of sterling silver cups made in London in 1810; a Chinese porcelain pitcher from 1790; a 1790 Chinese tea caddy; a 1790 English porcelain sugar bowl; a set of three English sterling silver berry service pieces made in England in 1790; an 1843 ceramic pitcher; two silver Dutch oval compotes; a 1785 vase with floral relief; a 1790 Chinese tea pot with strap handle; a 1792 Chinese porcelain saucer; a 1790 Chinese sugar bowl; a 1790 Chinese mug; a covered porcelain pedestal dish of undetermined age; and an English sugar bowl made in 1790.

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.

Signal Hill’s Diversity Committee decides on list of projects, including a survey Anita W. Harris
S
Senior Writer
ignal Hill’s Diversity Coalition Committee (DCC) will ask the City Council to fund a list of projects it outlined during its April 14 meeting. At the top of the list is conducting a survey to understand community needs and how residents and businesses view Signal Hill’s handling of “diversity, equity, community development, employment, affordable housing, etc.,” according to a draft proposal. The DCC is presenting two survey budget options to the council—$8,250 for an informal postcard survey and from $75,000 to $125,000 for a more formal online or in-person survey requiring a consultant. The DCC has been meeting monthly since January—both as a whole and in three smaller subcommittees—to determine how best to achieve its pur-
pose. The Signal Hill City Council formed the DCC in July 2020 as part of its Race and Equity Framework, with three areas of focus—education, facilitation and continuous improvement. Within those areas, the DCC was charged to “examine the City’s current policies, and engage the community on various aspects of race and equity, as part of an evolving effort to address systemic racism and bias in the policies and practices of municipal government.” During last week’s meeting, the DCC formalized a list of 14 projects to help meet those goals, along with related costs that the Council will consider in May as it decides the next fiscal-year budget. Though the DCC’s purpose includes interrogating Signal Hill’s policies and practices—including those of the Signal Hill Police Department (SHPD)— as an agency of the City, it relies on
municipal funding and City Council approval of its activities. “I have to work through the city manager,” City-hired facilitator Fred Abdelnour told the DCC during last week’s meeting. “With anything that we create, we have to get the City Council to approve it because we’re an extension of them.” The project list’s ideas and budget estimates come from meeting discussions and expertise of the DCC’s approximately 20 volunteer members. Projects mostly relate to the “engage the community on various aspects of race and equity” part of the DCC’s mandate rather than the “examine the City’s current policies” part. Besides a community survey, additional projects on the list foster diversity and inclusion, such as hosting a citywide multi-day cultural festival and organizing a diverse speaker series to promote dialogue.

The Signal Hill Diversity Coalition Committee (DCC) during its April 14 virtual meeting. Other projects focus on helping the community, such as supporting diverse education, including a mobile bus collaboration with the Long Beach Boys and Girls Club; helping with housing equity; creating economic-opportunity
and career-development programs; and bridging the digital divide with free Wi-Fi in parks and refurbished computers. A final set of projects focus on informing the community of the DCC’s existence and activities: creating a website, posting advertisements, providing marketing material such as business cards and T-shirts at Signal Hill events like Concerts in the Park, and creating a calendar of heritage celebrations such as Lunar New Year and Indigenous People’s Day. The total project budget the DCC is asking the City Council to approve is between about $180,000 and $295,000. Abdelnour said the project list represents the DCC’s “pie-in-the sky” ideas that might be difficult to accomplish in one fiscal year. “Let’s see what direction the City believes would be beneficial for this group to take and what resources they’re willing to set aside,” he said. “The bottom line is really to understand what the community needs and implement positive changes.” In exploring further possibilities, DCC Member Evie Kaegebein brought up creating a Facebook page for free, through which it could post materials, invite comment and even survey the community. She said she would like to have posted a condemnation of anti-Asian violence and inform the community about the Cambodian flag the City is currently flying to recognize Cambodian Genocide Remembrance Day. “It would be really nice to have a place to share it,” she said. Member Harshan Jayakumar concurred but said the DCC should consider its overall social-media profile, including Twitter and Instagram. “I don’t see why we shouldn’t be present across all those platforms,” he said. “The point is to reach as many people as possible.” However, Abdelnour said all City-related messaging has to go through Signal Hill’s communication specialist, and he would check on that process. Member Samona Caldwell—who is serving as point person for a DCC interview with the SHPD at the committee’s May 12 meeting—expressed hope that the City Council agrees to its requests. “It’s all in their hands,” she said expectantly. “They gotta give us the goahead.”

public trust in our criminal justice system,” Gascon said. “I will continue to advocate for better training for officers, stronger accountability in use-of-force cases and in independent review of officer-involved shootings. Effective policing must be fair and just to enhance our collective safety.” Rep. Judy Chu, D-Pasadena, said she hopes the verdict brings some comfort to Floyd’s family, “but I know that no ruling can ever heal the wounds left behind by institutionalized violence.” Angelica Salas, executive director of the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights Los Angeles, said despite the verdict, Americans should “abhor” the fact that “communities of color remain at risk at every traffic stop.” “Our nation must question why police and policing is much more important than the lives of our community members,” Salas said. “We must invest in community and increase accountability for those who violate the human rights of our community members. Congress must step in to address the injustice they perpetrate. Mere reform is not enough to stop the racism that makes killing fields of our communities.” Garcetti hailed the verdict as a step toward healing, reconciliation and accountability. “For any of us who have lived through bad verdicts where justice was denied, we have seen too painfully and felt too painfully what it means for our country to stagger backwards,” he said. “So for today, for us to step forward even in the midst of our pain, it’s a good day.’
Southland leaders reacted quickly to the conviction of former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin in the death of George Floyd, while law enforcement agencies remained on heightened alert in response to possible rallies or protests. “Justice has been served! I think we can breathe a sigh of relief,” Assemblyman Mike Gipson, D-Gardena, wrote on Twitter. “This is the moment we’ve been waiting for. But we still have more work to do.

Protesters blocked the intersection of Shoreline Drive and Pine during a Saturday, April 10 protest against the City of Long Beach’s decision to house undocumented migrant youth. of the mass facility was described as “part of the federal government’s national humanitarian effort to support unaccompanied migrant children arriving at the southern borders.” But local nonprofit organizations, spearheaded by the Long Beach Immigrant Rights Coalition, have condemned the federal government’s treatment of children in its custody as anything but humanitarian, and pressed the City to allow them to have access to the facility. “We demand transparency from the mayor, from the city council. The people of Long Beach deserve to know what’s happening,” Romeo Hebron, Executive Director of the Filipino Migrant Center, said during a protest outside City Hall on April 6. “We demand transparency and accountability, and having access to the facilities if these children are going to be there, which it looks like they will be there. We
can’t just have only the people who get awarded these federal contracts to have access to these facilities, we need full transparency.” Organizations and businesses will be able to fill out an interest form detailing the free services they can provide, which will be considered by HHS. Examples of desired services include the following: food/meal services, education, recreation, mental health, entertainment, family reunification, child supervision, legal services, religious services, language translation, case management, HHS shelter set up assistance and health care. HHS will also consider individuals who apply through the online portal for volunteer positions at the site. Potential volunteers will be asked to provide their name and contact information, and may later be contacted by HHS. All volunteers will have to submit to a comprehensive background check

Dog owners beware: Long Beach Animal Care Services reports distemper outbreak A distemper outbreak has affected more than 38 raccoons and at least one skunk, primarily in East Long Beach, according to Long Beach Animal Care Services (ACS). Distemper is a viral infection that can infect dogs, raccoons, skunks, foxes and large cats such as lions and tigers. The virus does not cause disease in cats or humans. In Los Angeles County, raccoons are the local reservoir species for distemper. Dogs can become infected with the distemper virus from direct contact with a sick animal or from being near an infected animal when it is coughing or sneezing. The virus can also be transmitted through shared food and water bowls, or other objects that were contaminated by an infected animal. Puppies and unvaccinated dogs are at highest risk for infection with distemper. Common clinical signs of distemper in dogs include: discharge from the eyes and/or nose, fever, coughing, lethargy, disorientation, tremors and seizures. The clinical signs are similar in raccoons and other wildlife. Currently there is no treatment for distem-
per, so preventing the disease in dogs is crucial. ACS shared the following advice for pet owners from the Los Angeles County Public Health Department: • Vaccinate dogs for distemper: Puppies should receive a series of three or more distemper vaccines between the ages of 2 and 4 months. The vaccine should be boostered a year later, then every three years for life. • Protect puppies: Keep puppies at home and away from unfamiliar dogs until they have completed the vaccination series. Use caution when socializing dogs or in areas where dogs congregate, such as dog parks, doggy day care and boarding facilities. • Keep dogs away from wildlife: Never allow dogs to have contact with wildlife. • Keep pet food and water indoors, away from wildlife: Pet food and water left outdoors attracts wildlife, which can spread distemper to dogs. Residents should report suspected distemper cases to the Long Beach Veterinary Disease Reporting System at longbeach.gov/vdrs to allow for local data collection and sharing with Los Angeles County.

This doesn’t necessarily mean that cars are at heightened risk. Lopez said that around 80% of the time vehicles are burglarized because they’re left unlocked. “What these people will do is they’ll go around just pulling on door handles,” he said. “I call that a ‘scavenger hunt.’” Thieves will look through the car for valuables, checking the glove box, under, and on top of the seats. He said that most don’t find anything of value and instead just take loose change and phone chargers to resell. At times, they’ll also take vehicle registration and insurance information. Lopez theorized that these thieves are looking to get into identity fraud. He assured residents that, even if their registration or insurance information is stolen, “they can’t really do much with it.” There’s not enough information on these documents to successfully steal someone’s identity.

How to avoid car theft and burglary
“There’s kind of no rhyme or reason to the vehicles that are being stolen,” he said, noting that many older vehicles and trucks are stolen more frequently. In older vehicles, car thieves are able to manipulate the keys or use hot wires to jumpstart the car. The best way to avoid vehicle theft, Lopez said, is to park your car in a well-lit area, ideally somewhere with cameras. Lopez said that burglaries, on the other hand, are easier to deter. “What I tell people is just, it’s been around for years,” he said. “Just don’t leave anything inside [your vehicle].” If you keep valuables like electron-

ics or purses in your vehicle, make sure to keep them out of sight. Even if the windows are up and the doors are locked, vehicles are not impenetrable. “We call those ‘crimes of opportunity,’” he said. “If someone walks by and there’s a tablet or something of that nature, some high dollar item like a purse that you can get some value out of, that person is going to be more likely to [break in].” At times, perpetrators will leave
high-priced items if they can’t identify their value. “I’ve had a lady that worked for Apple. They were just releasing some huge Bluetooth speaker, a surround sound system,” he said. “It was $10,000 and she had it in her trunk.” The burglar only got away with a pair of roller skates and about $5 in spare change. Even if burglars don’t get away with any valuables, Lopez acknowledged
that the experience can still be traumatizing. “It still feels terrible because you’re like ‘Someone was in my space, my area, my property,’” he said. His top tips for preventing car burglaries—don’t leave anything valuable in your car, don’t leave anything valuable in plain sight and double-check that your door is locked before you leave your vehicle.
