Long Beach residents speak out against homelessness, lack of housing and other issues at People’s State of the City

As event enters eighth year, activists call on City and elected officials to address concerns of residents.

At the eighth annual People’s State of the City, local activists took their chance to state their grievances on the issues facing the residents of Long Beach, such as housing, policing and funding.

The event was held on Wednesday, April 10, at the First Congregational Church, where citizens gathered to hear local speakers discuss the issues facing local neighborhoods. This is the third year that the church has hosted the event.

Daniel Green | Signal Tribune

Long Beach resident and activist, Cynthia Macias, was one of two keynote speakers at the eighth annual People's State of the City. In her speech, Macias spoke about housing issues, immigration laws and unemployment.

Organized by the Long Beach Rising Coalition, the event serves as a response to the State of the City, hosted by Long Beach Mayor Robert Garcia, in January. While the City’s event focused on the positives, such as a decrease in crime or the increase of local jobs, the People’s State of the City tries to counterbalance this by bringing

concerns of residents to the forefront.

Just like the previous year, the audience was given emoji signs with a sad and happy face as they entered the church. The crowd was then encouraged to react to the speech by flipping the sign to show their approval or disapproval of certain topics.

The address was started by speakers Noah Santiago and Mac Harris, both members of the Youth Committee of the Long Beach chapter of Building Healthy Communities.

It may be an esoteric topic, but if you ever want to chat about the management of the urban runoff of rainwater, Larry Forester is your guy.

Forester, who, until recently, served 21 years on the Signal Hill City Council– including four terms as mayor– has two engineering degrees– including a master’s in ocean engineering– and he has been a key figure in efforts to improve the county’s stormwater-capture processes.

In 1999, Forester, who was then on the Planning Commission, was appointed to replace a city councilmember who was moving and had a year left in his term. Since then, Forester, who has publicly acknowledged that he is gay and living with HIV/AIDS, ran for and

garnered a seat on the council each election cycle– albeit winning by a single vote in one early race.

Now, he says he lacks the energy necessary to continue as a councilmember. (Last week, he celebrated his 72nd birthday.)

However, he also indicated in an interview with the Signal Tribune Wednesday that the following day he would be seeing his doctor and asking her how he can muster more energy; he plans on applying to once again serve on the City’s Planning Commission.

You mentioned in an interview recently that you had achieved everything you’d wanted to do and that it’s time for you to move on. Of what accomplishment as councilmember are you most proud?

SH City Council adopts urgent ordinance regulating small wireless facilities Telecommunications devices allowed to be installed on poles beginning April 15.

Anita W. Harris Staff Writer

The Signal Hill City Council addressed several items of municipal business during its long April 9 meeting, including adopting an “urgency” ordinance and new policy regarding small wireless facilities in public right-of-way areas.

The council also approved extending two public-works contracts, chose councilmember organizations and decided on May 14 as the date on which to conduct interviews and select six new commissioners.

Wireless policy The council conducted a public hearing and– after much council discussion– adopted two ordinances and a new policy regarding wireless-telecommunication device-installation in public right-of-way areas around the city.

City Manager Charlie Honeycutt explained that, because of a Federal Communications Commission (FCC) policy passed in September 2018, the city has to comply with a sped-up process for allowing installation of those devices.

“Wireless service providers want to place small wireless facilities throughout the city to increase the capacity of their wireless networks to meet the growing demand and provide higher data transmission rates,” Honeycutt said. “This will be largely accomplished by installing cellular equipment on streetlight and power poles throughout the city.”

Honeycutt said that though such a policy was defeated in California, the FCC approved the policy on a national level to ensure the implementation of 5G technology for the public.

He added that the City has been working with a technical consultant on how best to comply, recognizing that the technology is critical to businesses, but so is the need to manage its aesthetic impact.

Deputy City Attorney Danny Aleshire said that wireless technology is an unusual area of land-use law in that it’s overseen and regulated by the FCC. By April 15, the city must approve applications to install small wireless facilities (SWFs) within a much shorter period of time than before– 60 days to install on an existing pole or structure, or 90 days to install on a new structure.

According to the FCC regulation, SWFs must be mounted on structures 50 feet or less in height, with equipment volume less than 28 cubic feet and antenna volume less than three cubic feet, Danny said.

“5G is going to be extremely faster than existing 4G or LTE technology– up to 200 times faster,” he said. “While 4G can accommodate 2,000 devices per square kilometer, 5G can accommodate 1 to 2 million devices.”

Unlike the large towers deployed for 4G technology, SWFs are installed closer together, with 10 to 100 times more antenna locations, Danny said, adding that more than

300,000 will be installed across the country in the next three to four years. Because each SWF has a 400foot coverage radius, they will be installed in residential neighborhoods, as well.

The faster “shot clock” for SWF-application approval will not allow for the city’s usual discretionary review and appeals process, Danny said. The regulation states that any design standards a city wants to impose cannot effectively inhibit the installation of small cells and have to be pre-published prior to April 15.

Therefore, the council needed to approve both a regular and urgency ordinance so that it could take effect immediately instead of after the usual second reading and 30-day waiting period, he said.

A new policy, adopted in parallel to the ordinances, can be revised later, especially since the technology and regulations are in flux, he said.

“This is a very rapidly changing area of the law,” Danny said.

“By adopting a policy that can be

amended by the public-works director, we’re hoping to maximize the flexibility to allow the city to adapt to ensure its design character isn’t upset by the new small wireless-facility installations.”

Councilmembers Edward Wilson and Tina Hansen questioned why the City needed an urgency ordinance if the FCC policy has been in place for several months.

Kelli Tunnicliff, public-works director, responded that staff believed the city’s existing ordinance would suffice, but realized earlier this year that it needed to make changes. City Attorney Dave Aleshire added that city staff doesn’t have as much expertise in this new area and could not have anticipated its effects on the previous policy, which had only been approved three years before.

Hansen asked whether residents’ views would be impacted by the installation of new poles. Tunnicliff responded that view considerations are being included in the policy but applications can’t go through the Planning Commission anymore for

site-design review.

Mayor Lori Woods asked who pays for SWF electricity, and Hansen asked whether installation will involve digging up the area around poles to install fiberoptic cable. Tunnicliff answered that the electricity would be separately metered and there would be digging involved.

“It sounds like the ‘wild west’ to me,” Wilson said of this industry change.

He also questioned whether the City should form a utility agency to deal with technology infrastructure and whether old facilities would be taken down, to which Danny said they might be or they might be simply abandoned.

Amid the council’s considerations, Deputy City Manager Hannah Shin-Heydorn said that the legal landscape is still changing with cities questioning their obligations.

She cited an April 4 California case plus another one pending and other federal legislation.

OPINION

Signal Tribune

April 12, 2019 handed out large packets of advice every night for three long weeks, and what the team doesn’t now know about the game of baseball, Spaulding doesn’t publish in his rule book.”

Long Beach’s first baseball star

The lowdown on George Stovall, the first Major League Baseball player to call Long Beach home.

O

n July 4, 1904, Long Beach’s own George Thomas Stovall played his first Major League Baseball game for the Cleveland Blues. It was a double header, and George scored two hits in four times at bat in the morning game and three hits in four times up in the afternoon contest. The first baseman was off to an auspicious start, definitely earning his $150-a-month salary.

In 1899, 21-year-old George Stovall decided his future lay in California. He went to work on the Wilhoit ranch, on Perris Road near Anaheim Road, but baseball was his true love. Before coming to Long Beach in 1899, George (born in Leeds, Mo., on Nov. 23, 1877) played on the J.J. Foster’s, a semipro team in Kansas City. The Foster’s, however, got bad press when one of their players, Jesse James Jr., was arrested for having participated in a train robbery. Though James was acquitted, George, along with brothers Sam and Jesse, formed a new baseball club without James.

However, the club was christened the “Leeds Train Robbers” and played under that name for some time. Upon arriving in Long Beach, George Stovall was a member of “town teams,” which played on “the flats” in the vicinity of 3rd Street and Pico Avenue– on a diamond in the neighborhood of 5th Street and Maine Avenue– and later in “Athletic Park,” which was just east of California Avenue between 7th and 10th streets. George organized a Sunday ball club, which played a series of games against San Pedro, Wilmington and other cities on diamonds in the west part of town.

Their club was called the Long Beach Brownies.

The first local team, the Long Beach Nine, had begun playing back in 1893, and the team often recruited anyone willing to pick up a bat just so they would have a full contingent of players. Such was the case with the 1899 Long Beach High School baseball team.

The high school had just opened the previous year, graduating a mere 15

students in 1899, the year George joined the team. It was hard to get enough players together to form a team, since many of the students lived in outlying areas and had to travel a great distance to get to the new school.

According to Long Beach historian Walter Case, George was allowed to play on the local highschool baseball team, even though he wasn’t a student. His days on the team were numbered, however, when the older and worldlier George purchased a bucket of beer for his teammates after a game with Whittier. Such an action in alcohol-free Long Beach was not to be tolerated.

George was quickly dismissed from the team by Long Beach school authorities.

In the spring of 1901, the 23-year-old got a break in professional baseball, joining the Seattle team of the Northwestern League as a pitcher, but George hurt his arm in spring training and was released to Pendleton, Ore., in the Inland Empire League, where he played first base. In 1902, he started with the Walla Walla, Washington, team in the Inland Empire League, but a month later the league expired. In Salt Lake, he and other Inland Empire players organized a team they called the “Mormons” and started east on a barnstorming tour. While in Lincoln, Neb., the team attracted the notice of a fan from Atlantic, Iowa, who wrote home that Atlantic, then in last place in the Iowa Southwestern League, would do well to release its own players and sign the “Mormons” for the rest of the season. His advice was taken; Stovall and his team won seven of the eight games they played for Atlantic. Then that league, too, collapsed, but George found a home with Cleveland. He remained with the club for nine years, and in 1911 was made manager. From 1912 to 1922, he managed teams in Kansas, Ohio, Florida and California and became president of the Association of Professional Baseball Players of America.

H

e never forgot his friends and family in Long Beach. In 1909, while wintering at home before the professional baseball season started, he gladly agreed to give the local highschool baseball team some pointers.

A new high school had opened that year, Polytechnic, replacing the older Long Beach High School. His coaching tips were certainly appreciated, as members of the team stated in the 1909 Poly High School yearbook: “It was perhaps a question in the minds of some Long Beach baseball fans as to the reasons for the team’s unusual good batting average this season. The coach is to blame for this...Mr. Stovall, who now plays first base for the Cleveland Indians,

The Poly team that year– Douglas Coughran, Pat Fulton, Husky Young, Scandinavian Pete, Whittier Fleckinger, Harry Galbraith, Tommy Boland, Sam Wotten, Spitty Frazer and Paul Enlow– lived on success. In the yearbook, they added: “There is one very good satisfaction obtained through this year’s ball team; we have got the townspeople standing behind the high school and ready to help with finances and lusty yells– all through the assistance of Mr. Daily, who was able to secure the coaching of George Stovall.” (By the way, there were 102 high-school graduates that year, a big increase from the 15 who graduated in 1899!)

One of George’s greatest claims to fame occurred in 1913 and earned him the nickname “Firebrand.” Umpire Charles Ferguson called Stovall out on a third strike in the sixth inning of a Browns-Indians game.

Stovall snatched Ferguson’s hat off his head and threw it on the ground, then spit on the umpire’s coat, according to the May 6, 1913, New York Times. American League president Ben Johnson was outraged.

“There isn’t room in the Ameri-

can League for players who commit offenses against public decency,” Johnson said of Stovall’s action.

“I am astounded that any manager should create such a scene by losing his self-control in the presence of a large assemblage of patrons of the game. The American League will not countenance such conduct for a minute.”

Player-manager Stovall was fined $100 and suspended for three weeks. He was later fired by the team in October of that year and replaced by Branch Rickey.

For many years, George and his wife Emma, whom he married in 1904, lived at 915 Cherry Ave. in Long Beach, making frequent visits to their ranch in Casa Grande Valley, Ariz. Upon retiring from the world of baseball, George worked in the oil fields and, in his spare time, he coached the Loyola baseball team and managed the Houghton Park Baseball Club of Long Beach. He died Nov. 5, 1951, in Burlington, Iowa.

As Boy Scouts celebrate a centennial milestone, the Signal Tribune interviews local members to gauge their experiences with the program.

Joy Rowden Editorial Intern

The Long Beach Boy Scout organization is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year after it was founded in 1919. It has a diverse set of programs for both boys and girls. The Signal Tribune interviewed a child in each of the different programs the organization has to offer.

Below, you will see what a Cub Scout, Boy Scout, Venturer, Explorer and an Eagle Scout believe is the most important lesson they have learned from their program. We were unable to get a response from a Sea Scout in time for publication.

The questions posed to all of our sources were: What is the most valuable lesson you have learned from your program? How did you learn it?

“I would definitely say the ability to lead a group of people who are actually similar to you in age and [to be] able to gain the respect of them.

When you are leading people [in Venturing] [...] you have to learn the ability to gain respect in other ways, like oral communication and setting principles. My defining moment was at Philmont Scout Ranch, [when] we went on an 85-mile, full-day backpacking trip, and […] each of us had to be the leader for the day. On my day [to lead], we had to navigate our way to the next campsite and I was able to get the respect of people older than me by just being very confident.”

“The biggest thing that I have learned is working with others [...] and just to be able to show your leadership skills and not [be] like a boss. Being a boss, you just tell people what to do and they have to do it. Being a leader is showing them how to do it by using the EDGE method. You teach them […], [you] demonstrate with an example, you guide them through them doing it themselves, and they show you how to do it. As preparing for my Eagle Scout, I basically learned [...] you need to be able to show people [...] how to do this certain activity you are wanting them to do in your project, or else they are not going to be able to do it.”

“[Since] the very beginning of my journey of Boy Scouts, […] [there] has been a strong emphasis on working together to achieve something greater. Three years ago, I was backpacking at Philmont Scout Ranch in New Mexico for two weeks. We were scared, [and] we didn’t know what to expect. For example, I was rock climbing, and there was this really tough route. I was too short to do it, but everyone else was cheering me on and enabled me to do it.

A friend of mine had asthma, and it was really hard for him to go over the hill, so we carried his pack for him.”

Explorer Chloe Smith Crew Chief rank with an interest in firefighting Age 17 Long Beach resident “Search and Rescue (SAR) has taught us to take every opportunity that we are given. Just joining Search and Rescue was an opportunity. Over the summer, I was actually given the opportunity to intern with the Long Beach Fire Department through the Port of Long Beach. So, that was a huge opportunity. I got a lot of [practice] [...] working with community service, public outreach [...] and ride-alongs. It just opened a lot of doors, [and] it’s still opening doors.”

There are ornaments [that] have names for either girls’ clothes or boys’ clothes or toys, and they’ll put it on a present and we give it to Marian Outreach Center.

I guess I’m just not ready to stay home and sit in a lawn chair and do nothing. I just want to get out and do something, so this is kind of the way to do it. [...] I think it keeps you healthy in a way.”

Rogers learned to play piano as a kid, when his teacher would assist him in reading music. Playing by ear, Rog-

ers said he “picked up a little bit here and there” and developed his talents over time.

During his volunteering tenure, Rogers said he also spent about 20 years working at the medical facility’s print shop. It was during this time that he pitched the idea to play piano for the public.

“I mentioned the fact that it’d be kind of nice to play the piano for the people, because nobody wants to come to the hospital unless you have to,” Rogers said. “I thought it’d be kind of nice to play here in the lobby, where they have to sit and wait for their relatives or wait for some procedure, and take their minds off their problems a little bit.” ✦

April 12, 2019

continued from page 3

“We’ve really done our best to make [SWFs] as unobtrusive as possible, recognizing that we’re going to have probably as many of them as we have poles in the city,” Tunnicliff said.

The only public comment during the hearing was a Verizon Wireless representative who said that her company’s legal department had sent a letter to the council that day.

“Several draft-ordinance requirements contradict FCC law,” she said, advising the council and staff to meet with stakeholders regarding problematic design standards and application requirements.

“For example, the draft policy requires concurrent submittals for fiber or cable connections with small wireless facility applications,” she said. “However, fiber backhaul connections are generally provided by another company that will build and maintain its own fiber under separate special permits and applications.”

She added that language regarding removal and replacement of existing streetlights is actually subject to Southern California Edison (SCE) limitations for safety reasons.

Danny said that because the ordinance had to be passed before April 15, there wasn’t time to have a meeting, but that the new policy could be changed if there is something to

adjust.

“Clearly, I don’t think we have a choice but to pass it, otherwise we have no control at all,” Hansen said.

“But there are so many unknowns here– where they’re going to be, the streets being dug up, and then how are they going to be put back together […]. There’s so many questions out there.”

Wilson said that a councilmember used to attend the National League of Cities, where they could talk to national representatives about local issues, but he regretted that was curtailed due to budget considerations.

“What you don’t know can hurt you,” he said. “When you’re not there at the table, you’re probably not being discussed. […] We need to start participating more in those type of events.”

Woods requested that the ordinance include requiring a planning commission to sit on the application discussions so there was some community representation. However, Wilson objected because of imposing on the commissioner’s time and technological understanding.

“We’re going to hire people– consultants– and we have staff,” he said.

Dave agreed with Wilson because of the FCC rules.

“It has to be clear that it’s the public-works director that is the approv-

ing official,” he said. “You do not want to confuse what our process is.”

However, he acknowledged that the planning commission should follow the application processes.

“Even if they don’t have a role in it, I think the planning commission should understand what’s going on,” he said.

Wilson moved that the ordinance, urgency ordinance and policy resolution be passed, which was seconded by Vice Mayor Robert Copeland and approved by the council in a 5-0 vote. The council also agreed to post the new policy to the City’s website.

Organizations and commissions The council then agreed to adopt a resolution identifying the various organizations that councilmembers would participate in and attend, such as the Southern California Association of Governments.

Honeycutt said that Larry Forester’s recent retirement from the council left four vacancies– alternates for the League of Contract Cities and the Gateway Council of Governments, and delegate positions for the League of California Cities and Southwest Resource Recovery Facility (SRRF).

Councilmembers discussed amongst themselves about filling those seats and changing other delegate and alternate positions to various organizations. The council passed a resolution amending the appointments.

Along with that, the council agreed to the May 14 regular council meeting as the date to conduct commissioner interviews and make appointments for six open commissioner seats.

Shin-Heydorn said that the three city commissions allow citizens to be involved in local government and that the city conducts a biennial recruitment for commissions in the spring of odd-number years following general municipal elections.

Two seats on each commission will expire on May 31, she said.

She then reviewed the responsibilities and meeting dates for the planning, parks-and-recreation and civil-service commissions. Commissioners must be U.S. citizens, 18 years or older, registered to vote

and reside in the city 29 days prior to their appointment date, she said.

The City will accept applications until Thursday, April 25, at 4:30pm, she said, adding that applicants can apply through the City’s website at cityofsignalhill.org.

Wilson suggested that work history not be included on the application but instead applicants can emphasize relevant experience in general, such as volunteer experience.

Shin-Heydorn agreed and said that there is now one common application for all commissions based on a previous suggestion by Wilson and that one person could apply to multiple commissions.

Road paving Honeycutt told the council that Orange Avenue, between Spring and Hill streets, needed emergency repairs.

“Orange Avenue has taken some punishment, particularly with the rainy weather we’ve had,” he said.

“We need to get out there pretty quickly and make repairs to that street.”

Tunnicliff said that, because the work is over-extending the public-works crews, staff proposed extending an existing 2016 contract with nearby Excel Paving for the work. The council approved a new three-year contract for $825,740.

“The City has received an increased number of resident complaints regarding potholes in the past few months due to the heavier than normal rains,” she said. “The public-works crews have been continually repairing these potholes only to receive new complaints several days later in new locations.”

Tunnicliff added that the topography of Orange Avenue makes the repairs difficult due to traffic and the sight distances.

She said that the cost to repave Orange Avenue would be $343,200 for paving 260,000 square feet plus between $100,000 and $140,000 in non-paving costs. The total would be supplemented by about $180,000 of Proposition C funding plus other minor outside funds that would expire on June 30 if not used.

She said that grinding work will begin Friday, April 12, and paving on Saturday.

Conservation Corps Honeycutt asked the council to also consider renewing a contract-services agreement with the Conservation Corps of Long Beach, citing a very good 14-year relationship between the Corps and the city.

“We’ve had the pleasure of actually hiring some of their Corp members to full time positions here in the public-works department,” Honeycutt said. “So it’s been a very good experience for both the Corps members as well as the city in terms of utilizing their services [and providing them] job experience.”

Tunnicliff said that the Corp offers at-risk youth and young adults paid experience and mentorship while they finish school.

She said that workers have helped public-works maintenance operations by removing graffiti, repairing facilities, weeding, cleaning gutters and alleyways along main roads, while also cleaning bus stops and homeless encampments. Future work may involve help in constructing View Park.

She added that staff’s proposed hourly compensation of $27.31 per hour– not to exceed $39,763.36 annually– is a fully-burdened rate that includes workers compensation, benefits, training, overhead and equipment.

“They’re hard workers, and they’re a valuable asset,” Woods said.

Presentations Woods made three presentations recognizing city employees.

She and Police Chief Christopher Nunley introduced Angel Hernandez, a new emergency-operations coordinator (EOC) with the police department.

Woods said that Hernandez has worked in several municipal departments part-time and has degrees in emergency management, emergency services and health sciences. He also has EMT experience and was an assistant EOC. “In both his academic and professional career– all at the age of 23– Angel has been consistently praised for being a collaborative partner that shows initiative and works well across department lines,” Woods said.

Hernandez expressed thanks for learning a lot about the city during his internships in the public works, finance and police departments.

“My goal is to assure that our city is prepared to respond to any disaster that it may face,” he said.

Woods and Nunley also presented a proclamation for National Public Safety Telecommunications Week to two representatives of the police de-

continued from page 1

Stormwater urban runoff. I’m most proud of it because nobody had done anything on it, and I got started into it in 1999. It’s actually come to the County and gotten funding. Measure W passed, and that was an accomplishment. It’s nowhere near the funding [needed]; it’s $300 million a year, divided amongst 88 cities. Estimates are that it’s going to cost us $10 billion over the next 10 years. So, we’re nowhere near, but it’s a start. At least we’re all talking together. At least Measure W got everybody on the same page.

Initially, you were reluctant to serve on the city council, when you were asked to replace a councilmember who moved. What made you change your mind?

Probably stormwater urban runoff. I realized I had the capability of doing something that nobody else had. I’ve got two engineering degrees– one in civil engineering, one in ocean engineering, a master’s.

And I realized: “Larry, if you don’t step up to the plate, nobody is.” So, I said OK, if people help me run– and they did– I’ll go for it, and was successful, over 21 years.

How would you say your engineering background has helped you on the city council, particularly concerning the Los Cerritos Channel Stormwater-Capture Project?

It’s guided me on easy projects.

When I say “easy,” [I mean] ones that could be done, that we had the land for or could negotiate for the land. That was a major concern of mine– where do we get land?

Where do we get this quantity that’s going to be built on? I mean, Long Beach is going to work on the MUST (Municipal Urban Stormwater Treatment) project, which is the one off the L.A. River, because they have the land. They can control that piece of land. That was a major concern for everybody. The other major concern in this whole package– and it is a package– is you can’t work in silos. How do we put them all together? That was when the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) came in, in ‘84, and said, “OK. We’ll get you all together.” Twenty-six of us at one table.

And that included Hyperion [Water Reclamation Plant]. It included L.A. County Sanitation District. It included all the NGOs (non-governmental organizations) that were active at the time. [ASCE] said, “OK. You want this, you want this, you want this, but you ain’t all going to get it.” So, how do you get it?

That’s when the terminology “integrated regional water-management plan” came.

At the last council meeting, [outgoing Mayor] Tina Hansen remarked that you have emphasized inclusivity. How has your openness about your sexual orientation– and your health status– benefited the city?

Letting people know who I am, I think, just gave me an open field.

It didn’t hold anything back. [Forester then mentioned an online article published in 1998 by a local resident and former city council candidate who protested his candidacy on the grounds that his HIV-positive status would cost the City financially. Forester also said the resident called him an expletive related to homosexuality.] To me, it is who I am. I’m not going to say

people. They just realize that dear God put their brain in a body that it doesn’t belong in.

How difficult was the process of converting vacant land on the hill into an area that now has million-dollar homes?

Extremely difficult because the then council basically had this general plan that said the hilltop should be developed to– I believe it was– [about 1,200] units but wouldn’t do anything. Just stymied.

And I said, “That’s stupid. You’ve got this gorgeous piece of land to be developed.” [They said,] “We don’t want to ruin the atmosphere.”

[I asked,] “What atmosphere?” But it’s where we [had] to go. We [had] to put something in that upper-middle-class [would] want.

Larry Forester pictured during a recent community event

I’m not. I’m not going to deny it. If you like it, fine. If you don’t, that’s your problem. Let me do what I’m best at– which is engineering, structuring things together– and go from there.

Tell me about your efforts in en-

suring public agencies statewide are informed about transgender rights?

That really started with the Caucus. I’m a member of the LGBT Caucus for the League of California Cities, and, when I got on the board and took over as president,

Courtesy City of Signal Hill

I said, “I’m going to ask you one favor, and that favor is we’ve got to educate people on transgenders.”

“Transgender” is where “gay” was in the ‘60s. [...] And out of the Caucus basically came statements about transgenders and what we can do. They’re normal! They’re

How would you describe the direction the city council and City are heading?

I like it. I think it’s very direct. [...] I have no doubt that what I’ve done with the council– with the council’s help and with [Hansen] and the group– we’ve done a good job. When you look at the hilltop right now, I’ll take credit for it. Literally, I’ll take credit for it, because directing the council– telling them why we should go this way, telling them why this makes sense– made sense. ✦

Theatre review

Long Beach Shakespeare Company’s Epic Poems Part I: Venus and Adonis

Anita W. Harris Culture Writer

Though William Shakespeare’s Venus and Adonis is a poem, not a play, it is just as dramatic in director Brando Cutts’s adaptation. And Long Beach Shakespeare Company’s (LBSC) performance of it as a 1940s-style radio play– including lots of animal sound effects– highlights its rhymes, as the goddess of love herself is rejected by a handsome mortal male who would really rather go hunting.

Part of the charm of Venus and Adonis– the first of two long-form poems LBSC is performing this month in honor of Shakespeare’s birthday– is how it reverses recent headlines. Instead of a woman being harassed by a powerful male, we have a man who wants to go about his business and a powerful woman who won’t leave him alone. Venus makes it all too obvious what she wants even as Adonis resists. In fact, he feels “shame” and is “insulted” by her very explicit overtures. #MenToo anyone?

Based on a tale by Ovid, this late 16th-century poem was perhaps Shakespeare’s earliest publica-

tion, and a very popular one, with its sensual descriptions of the hills and dales of Venus’s body through landscape metaphors and her lustful pining for the inexplicably indifferent Adonis. He does his best to resist her appeals and remove himself from the scene, but she keeps finding a way to entangle him in her undressed arms.

The tension between them is palpable, even in this radio-play format, and since Cutts divides the male and female perspectives among four players, the narrative ball is always bouncing. Brenda Dere is a richly voiced Venus (and makes cute kissing sounds). Though perhaps because she gets the majority of lines, she occasionally comes across as simply reading when the story pace quickens. But LBSC veteran Jo McLachlan assists in delivering the female point of view in a highly engaging and entertaining way.

On the male side, Roberto Williams strikes a perfect balance as the resistant yet sensitive Adonis. He doesn’t seem like a bad guy to deny quenching Venus’s very deep thirst, but rather like someone being imposed upon against his will and sensibilities. Cutts himself narrates the

remaining lines while also directing the other performers and music.

Kelly Voelker rounds out the five-person cast with on-stage sound effects, such as a horse trotting and Venus and Adonis rolling in the grass. And all the performers create various animal sounds excellently! Those animals include Adonis’s hunting hound, an owl, a lark, the dangerous tusked boar Adonis is pursuing, and an extended sequence involving Adonis’s stallion and a frisky passing mare that it becomes hugely enamored by. Yes, all of nature seems to be in Venus’s lusty thrall.

Part two of LBSC’s epic-poem April– The Rape of Lucrece– begins April 19 and will be a somewhat darker, more violent radio play centered on the rape in question and its political fallout. By contrast, Venus’s sensual yet logical propositions to Adonis, however unwanted, might seem downright delightful.

Continuing through this weekend only, you may want to see Venus and Adonis before the next play to experience these different gradations of unwanted advances, which– as literature often does– may even help you understand more of what’s going on

The art and photography that was displayed that Friday centered on the theme of Long Beach. Local artists depicted scenes from recognizable areas of the city in the pieces they shared.

“911 call-takers, dispatchers and technicians are typically the very first emergency-service professionals that the public has contact with during any emergency,” Woods read from a proclamation. “They assist the public in the police station lobby who are requesting police assistance [and] perform a multitude of record checks to assist field units.”

Woods added that Signal Hill dispatchers also serve as jailers and process prisoners in and out of the

facility.

Finally, Woods presented a proclamation to Signal Hill Librarian Charles Hughes recognizing National Library Week.

“Today’s libraries are not just about books,” Woods said. “Libraries promote civic engagement […]

Librarians empower their communities to make informed decisions by providing free access to information.”

Woods said that the new library, scheduled for completion by July,

will be a great asset to the community.

“We’re all very excited,” she said.

“It’s going to be amazing.”

Long Beach residents filled the pews at the First Congregational Church for the People's State of the City Wednesday.

Attendees were encouraged to use emoji signs with a sad and happy face to show their approval and disapproval of the issues facing their communities.

stories, struggles and victories of the people that make Long Beach a beautiful city,” Santiago told the crowd. “We do this because our communities deserve change, and we have the ability to create our vision for a better world.

After the brief introduction, the pair introduced a short video about

Long Beach entitled “My City,” which featured local band, Bootleg Orchestra, before moving on to the keynote.

The first of the two speakers was Long Beach resident and activist, Cynthia Macias. In her speech, Macias addressed housing and recounted the struggles that she and

her four children have faced over the years.

Macias continued by bringing up a variety of factors that may attribute to residents having trouble finding housing, such as rising rents and unfair evictions. One of the problems she identified is the potential stadium for the Los An-

geles Angels of Anaheim that was proposed in February.

“Everyone knows we’ve been in a housing crisis,” Macias said.

“But building an entirely new stadium for the Angels baseball team would speed up the displacement of poor people and drive rents up even more.”

She backed up her claim by pointing to the city of Inglewood, which is currently building a new stadium.

“This isn’t imaginary,” Macias said. “Renters in Inglewood are already feeling the impact and paying the price of new stadium developments. Not to mention the fact that cities like St. Louis, who spent millions of dollars to build their stadiums, are now left with millions in debt.”

As her speech continued, Macias touched on what she called “unjust and immoral” immigration laws, before leading the crowd in a chant of “no displacement.”

In another part of her speech, Macias cited the high unemployment rate among certain parts of the city’s population. In his January address, Mayor Robert Garcia touted the city’s drop in unemployment from 9.8 percent to 4.1 percent.

However, Macias claimed that the city has only grown low-level jobs and that 18 percent of Black high school graduates in Long Beach are unemployed.

The next speaker was Dawn Modkins, a community organizer and co-founder of the Long Beach chapter of Black Lives Matter.

In her portion of the keynote, Modkins discussed funding and promoted what she called “The

People’s Budget,” a community plan that organizers believe would better distribute the city budget to communities that need funding.

Modkins also announced the Invest in Youth campaign, which will begin collecting signatures this summer for a new local ballot measure. The measure would ensure funding for tutoring, after-school programs and more.

In calling for better distribution of city funding Modkins also criticized the city for its funding of the Long Beach Police Department.

“The City of Long Beach allocates 44 percent of the general fund budget to the police department alone,” Modkins said. “To put this in perspective, our parks department gets 7 percent, the city libraries 3 percent and the health department 1 percent.”

As Modkins wrapped up her speech, she joined with Macias to ask audience members to vote for progressive policies in the next election, take part in the upcoming census and get involved in their communities.

After the event, Macias spoke to the Signal Tribune and said she was happy with the response of the audience and acknowledged the attendance of 2nd District Councilmember Jeannine Pearce. Despite the warm reception of the attendees, Macias is not sure how the City will respond to the grievances of the residents.

“I’m very hopeful, but I’m also realistic,” Macias said, “and you know the city council […] they’ve never really put our interests first as you can see.” ✦
