A vigil has been created at the intersection of Temple Avenue and 3rd Street to memorialize 41-year-old Jessica Bingaman, who was struck by a vehicle Tuesday inside her car transporting dogs to a daycare service. Bingaman succumbed to her injuries at the hospital. Four dogs died at the scene, a fifth died later at the hospital and the sixth dog survived.

A Long Beach resident and five dogs were killed after another vehicle struck her car when she was at a stop sign, according to the Long Beach Police Department (LBPD) this week.

Officers said that on Tuesday, May 7, at approximately 11:30am, they were involved in a pursuit of a stolen vehicle, which later collided into another car, resulting in the death of 41-year-old Jessica Bingaman.

The stolen car was initially located at the Broadway and Alamitos intersection, and officers attempted a traffic stop. The LBPD stated that the suspect refused to

stop and drove away, which initiated the pursuit.

The suspect car in question– a 2016 Nissan van– was being driven by Javier Olivarez, a 43-yearold resident of Los Angeles. The department said he was traveling eastbound on 3rd Street and approaching Temple Avenue when he failed to stop for a posted stop sign while evading marked blackand-white police vehicles.

During that pursuit, the driver of a black 2013 Ford Escape, Bingaman, was traveling northbound on Temple Avenue after stopping at the stop sign at 3rd Street, where she was struck by the white 2016 Nissan– which also crashed into see MEMORIAL page 8

Thirty-third District state Senator candidates, Lena Gonzalez and Jack Guerrero, debated Monday night at Veterans Park during a candidate forum to discuss issues related to taxes, climate change, childcare and housing– among other issues. The forum, hosted by the Wrigley Association, allowed residents to learn about the candidates’ stances on certain policies ahead of the June 4 special election.

Seventh District Long Beach Councilmember Roberto Uranga (center) addresses a full house of attendees during a May 2 public-safety meeting at the Miller Family Health Education Center. Uranga’s office organized the meeting in response to concerns regarding recent burglaries, an assault and potential acts of arson in the California Heights neighborhood.

Cory Bilicko Staff Writer

A recent rash of crimes in the California Heights neighborhood clearly has many of its residents concerned.

At the beginning of the May 2 public-safety meeting at the Miller Family Health Education Center, organizers had to remove a divider between two rooms to make one larger space, in order to accommodate the overflowing crowd that showed up that evening.

Although the collective demeanor of the roughly 150 residents in attendance was initially calm, the atmosphere became more heated during the event, as people became increasingly vocal in expressing their frustrations over what they should do– and what they expect city officials to do– to address the recent spike in criminal activity in their area.

Seventh District Long Beach Councilmember Roberto Uranga’s office called the community meet-

ing in response to an outpouring of concern by residents regarding a recent series of break-ins, a number of alley fires that caused property damage and the deaths of several domesticated rabbits and birds, and an incident in which an auto-burglary suspect used a knife to threaten a man holding a baby after the man confronted him. All incidents occurred in the California Heights neighborhood, which is part of the 7th district.

According to city officials and residents at the event, there has been much discourse about the incidents on social media, in particular, on NextDoor.com, a website that connects people who live in the same neighborhood.

“I really appreciate the fact that you are talking to each other, whether it’s on social media [...] Facebook, NextDoor, whatever, it’s a good thing,” Uranga told the crowd. “But there’s nothing that replaces a good opportunity to catch a perpetrator and call the police department. So,

always remember– you might want to share your news or share whatever is happening in your neighborhood through those social-media [platforms], but nothing works much better than calling the police direct.

9-1-1 will always get you there.”

Uranga remarked that the police department keeps records of 9-1-1 calls, which helps it track areas of increased activity.

“If they get a significant number of calls in one area, they know that there’s something going on over there, and then the commander can use his personnel to either staff it a little better or [adjust] shift changes or whatever he needs to do to ensure that the community and the neighborhoods are safe,” Uranga said.

He also stressed that residents should call 9-1-1 any time they witness someone who appears suspicious or may be “casing the neighborhood,” but he warned that confrontations should be left to law-enforcement.

“Please, please do not confront

the individuals,” he urged, “because that just puts you in a dangerous situation. Call 9-1-1 and let the police handle it.”

Long Beach Police Department North Patrol Division Commander Steve Lauricella was also at the meeting, and he opened his remarks by discussing general crime statistics in the area. He said the two main challenging areas for police in the North Division have been garage and commercial-storage burglaries.

“I don’t know if you’ve looked at our quarterly stats,” Lauricella said, “but [there has been] a slight uptick in property crimes in the first quarter, and those are being driven mostly by garage burglaries.”

The commander explained that part of the reason for the rise in those crimes is that residents are leaving their garages open, which allows potential perpetrators to view what is inside them.

He said his division is addressing both issues and that he expects to see continued positive results.

“I think you’ll see, when the next quarterly stats come out, we’re going to be in a better place,” he said.

“So, we’re making some progress.”

However, he emphasized that law-enforcement cannot access NextDoor.com, so residents should not use that website in lieu of calling the police regarding crimes.

Lauricella then mentioned the threat incident, which occurred on Orange Avenue and 36th Street last month, indicating that police, at the time of the meeting, did not have a great deal of information, except that the suspect was a male who wore a hoodie, brandished a firearm and stole property.

“We’ve got our direct-enforcement team, our patrol officers, all aware– they’re working it. The case is up in [the] investigations [department] now,” he said. “We just touched base with Detective Hubbard, up in [the] robbery [department]. He’s working the case the see SAFETY page 5

Diving expo allowed locals to try scuba diving in the comfort of indoor pool.

Denny Cristales Managing Editor

During the 2019 Scuba Show convention on Saturday, May 4, and Sunday, May 5, instructors with the Go Dive Now pool tour offered free scuba-diving opportunities to the public at their indoor-pool exhibit. From kids to adults to seniors, the public donned scuba-diving equipment and took a breath of fresh air from beneath the waters. The Go Dive Now Pool is produced by the nonprofit Diving Equipment & Marketing Association (DEMA). Certified instructors guided residents inside a 30-foot, 15,000-gallon pool. Along with the typical gear, attendees were also welcome to use a diver-propulsion vehicle, which allowed users to utilize the water as a form of jet to boost themselves underwater and maneuver at will. Stay tuned for our video recap on signaltribune.com.

Tickets $100 per person. For more information, please contact Dolores Nason 562-427-1000 X 115.

“What’s up? What’s new?”

“What’s new? What’s going? What are you up to?” I’ve been to a lot of meetings, events and social gatherings lately, and people ask me these questions all the time. It’s a simple answer: “A lot.”

So, I thought I’d knock something out really quick so you would be in the loop: To begin with, our BKBIA Business Directory was printed and distributed to 12,000 homes around the area. It has all of our business members’ information and is also loaded with information about the BKBIA programs/events and great city resources, too. If you have not received a directory and would like one, please email us at info@ bixbyknollsinfo.com or call (562) 595-0081.

We will be sure to get it to you.

We are always happy to hear when a business is doing so well that it needs to expand its operation, and we have a few examples of this at the moment. Instead of moving out of the area, Dr. Abrishami, owner of the Bixby Animal Clinic, purchased the building immediately south of his to expand and become a premier veterinary clinic featuring more exam rooms and surgery centers. He will also bring in specialists in all areas of veterinary medicine.

We hope you have eaten at Taboon Mediterranean Restaurant on Bixby Road. The new owner, Rabi Haddad, has freshened up the location with new décor and has already hosted local organizations in the back room. The BKBIA had a successful “Neighborhood Night” and packed the place with regulars from our Supper Club. There are plans for patio improvements, and Rabi is applying for a beer and wine license. We also hope to soon host a “Bixby Saturday Night” at the restaurant featuring great jazz bands.

Details soon.

Beautiful days in the neighborhood

Speaking of new patios, The Green Olive at 3580 Long Beach Blvd. has completed its new patio and awaits final approval for its liquor license. You will soon be able to enjoy your very tasty meal with a beer or glass of wine. If you aren’t familiar, it’s located inside of Liquorland, 3580 Long Beach Blvd., and they do a very brisk take-out business. I think it’s fun to dine in such a unique spot, and we’re happy to see their patio look so nice.

We recently welcomed the Next Level Barber Shop, 4494 California Place, to the neighborhood. We will keep the neighborhood posted on all of the other new businesses set to open up soon around the district.

The city has had more improvements completed at the Expo Arts Center via Measure A funds. New carpet, floors, doors and new roof are all underway. We are very thankful for the city’s continued investment in this building. Can you imagine if it had been knocked down years ago? We are also booking more events with nonprofits and community groups as a source of additional revenue for the BKBIA while we address the sunsetting of our redevelopment funds.

The BKBIA has been working closely with a local creative firm, Commune Communication, on two marketing projects. One is for boosting awareness and attendance for our events/programs. The second is what we are calling a neighborhood program or “Destination Bixby Knolls” where we start to promote all of our business clusters. Brewery Knolls is just one example of showcasing the beer economy within the district. We will next shift our marketing efforts to showcase all the outstanding services in the district by see HAPPENINGS page 9

I’ve gushed about it before, and I have to gush about it again.

I’m pretty fortunate to live and work in this neighborhood. It constantly creates so many, many unique memories and great friendships.

One of my favorite things that stands out is that, on most days, I see a lot of familiar faces at every turn and every corner. I can understand that to most people this wouldn’t sound like much or maybe it doesn’t sound so unique, but it really is incredibly special.

With my tenure at the BKBIA, the people and streets in our hamlet are so comfortable and familiar to me. I do cringe at the phrase “big fish in a small pond,” because I consider myself just Joe Blow from Bixby Knolls and an enthusiastic resident. The many moments of satisfaction I get sometimes come from the little things, like seeing so many familiar faces.

Last week, I took an early walk down the street and was happy with the honks and waves from neighbors and friends. It’s like my own version of Mayberry, or Willoughby (“Twilight Zone” reference), or even Hannibal, MO. On a recent Saturday night, Alissa and I drove around and were delighted to see people out all through the district and inside of the businesses.

I know that our local residents are seeking some night life, and we have noticed it’s picking up.

We stopped into Phil Trani’s to see my brother’s band play, and it was jam packed. After Trani’s, we saw all seats filled at Steelcraft, the long line at Long Beach Creamery, and Trader Joe’s was still buzzing before closing time. Folks were strolling along Atlantic and enjoying a night at the Shakespeare Company, Cold Stone, sitting in the coffee shops and enjoying a beer and some ramen in Brewery Knolls…and it wasn’t even a First Friday!

On another morning, I took a walk and smiled again at all the familiar faces I saw out doing their business. I watched as the neighborhood

ly deals with what we do between 2019 and 2020 to get this plan accomplished.”

In his speech, Garcia acknowledged that Long Beach has seen a high number of confirmed cases of HIV and a significant rise in sexually-transmitted diseases.

During the study, the City found that the number of new HIV diagnoses has declined by 33 percent, with 151 individuals diagnosed in 2013 compared to 101 individuals in 2017. However, this rate of infection is still higher than the rest of the state.

One of the findings of the study is the sharp increase in STDs. Since 2013, Long Beach has seen the Chlamydia rate increase by 88 percent. Syphilis has increased by 143 percent and Gonorrhea by 267 percent. “[On] the issue of STDs and HIV, Long Beach continuously remains higher than Los Angeles County and the state of California,” Garcia said. “As it relates to meeting goals and ensuring health and safety, we know that that is unacceptable, and we can do something about that.”

The new HIV/STD strategy developed by the Planning Group will rely on five goals the City hopes to meet to combat the current spread of these diseases between 2019 through 2022. The main purpose of the goals is to diagnose patients who are currently infected and to educate the community.

The plan will also focus on improving physicians’ ability to respond to different diseases with better training and access to proper medication.

“The five goals are intertwined and interdependent,” Davis said.

Dr. Anissa Davis, the City of Long Beach’s health officer, spoke to members of the press Monday, May 6, at St. Mary Medical Center about the findings of the two-year study that helped city officials develop the new HIV/STD strategy. The study found a large increase in HIV and STD rates in Long Beach– among the highest in the state.

“Reducing the number of new HIV and STD infections in the city will require us working to progress in meeting all of the goals.”

One of the challenges that the plan is designed to address is how different groups are affected by the disease. The study found the highest rates of infection are in low-income communities, which include the demographics of African-Americans, Latinos and men who have sex with men.

The study cited accessibility, the stigma around the diseases and lower quality of medical care as some of the reasons for the higher levels of STDs and HIV. Davis spoke to the Signal Tribune after the event about the challenges of reaching out to residents that have been ignored

in the past.

“Funding is always an issue,” Davis said. “That makes it hard to get out into communities, and then I think […] pairing the right message with the right community; getting the right people in a room.”

Overall, Davis said she has been encouraged by the amount of attention that the new strategy has received from the community, but describes the plan as a “work in progress.”

“I think it is successful in that we’re moving forward,” Davis said.

“Will we reach these goals by these years? Maybe not, but I think every step we make is a success in that way. Even if you don’t get to the ultimate goal.” ✦

best he can, communicating with the victim. Some of the property has been recovered, and they continue to follow investigative leads.

But the good news is this is the first armed robbery in over two years in this area, and robbery statistics for our division [...] if you look at crime stats, we’re down double digits this year, over a double-digit decline last year. So, we’re doing well there, but that does not diminish the importance or the magnitude of what happened. We have resources working on that case.”

One attendee asked Lauricella if it appears that homeless individuals are the ones committing the crimes.

The commander replied that the homeless population is not the single driver of crime. He added that the LBPD has changed its approach to addressing problems with homeless individuals– instead of simply arresting them, officers will attempt to find them assistance.

“We’re now a health department-driven model,” he said. “So, what that means is we’re trying to connect with men and women who are experiencing homelessness, and we’re trying to get to the underlying cause– if it’s mental health, if it’s addiction [or] some other issue– and then we’re trying to plug them into services.”

He explained that, if homeless individuals refuse assistance but commit crimes, then the department is compelled to use an enforcement approach and arrest them. Otherwise, if they are merely living on the streets and leaving trash behind, for example, officers will attempt to help them rather than arrest them.

Although officials assured attendees that all the recent crimes are

there for you – wherever.

being investigated and encouraged them to call 9-1-1 to report any future incidents, residents who spoke out during the meeting voiced their frustrations with lagging response times or no responding officers at all when they do call.

As people became more angry and began interrupting officials and each other, one outspoken woman in the crowd managed to break the hubbub to summarize the source of the exasperation.

“Everybody, we do need to calm down,” she said. “This is not going to solve anything, [by] getting heated. But I do want to reiterate that, for the last 40 minutes, it’s been a round and round and round without solutions. I recently moved to this neighborhood under the premise of it being a safe and wonderful community, and it really is. But there is someone harming our community, and I keep getting the runaround every time we talk to our officials that are supposed to be protecting and serving our community.”

Robert Cheng, captain of the Long Beach Fire Department Arson Investigation Unit, restated that the fires are being actively investigated and, therefore, information is being released judiciously.

“We’ve been working with those that have been victimized from this incident,” Cheng said. “We’re gathering information, and we have an ongoing investigation. We’re not going to disseminate information that we have prematurely, because that wouldn’t be fair and we don’t want to send out misinformation, because that would be equally as bad.” ✦

top a 1,602-foot-tall mountain in the center of Catalina Island– roughly 10 miles from the city of Avalon– the public patiently anticipated the arrival of an oncoming aircraft last Friday near a completed, long concrete surface.

Attendees readied their smartphones to capture the looming sight of a 1947 DC-3 aircraft, which quickly, but surely, made its descent onto the steady concrete runway– the first airplane to officially do so after a months-long runway renovation project.

Touching ground, the classic airplane slowly maneuvered off the runway and stopped amid praise from residents. The pilots and the couple responsible for donating a large sum of money to the runway’s project– Gary and Kellie Johnson– disembarked the aircraft.

With a visible wide smile on his face, Gary, vice president of ACE Clearwater Enterprises, had only one word to describe his excitement: “Bitchin’!”

T

he landing of a 1947 DC-3 at the Airport in the Sky’s main runway Friday,

May 3, was the only affirmation Catalina Island Conservancy officials and military personnel needed to celebrate the official ribbon cutting– and first landing– of the site’s completed renovation project.

The aircraft– originally owned by Philip K. Wrigley, renowned American chewing-gum manufacturer and executive in Major League Baseball– was the first plane to officially land on the airport’s completed concrete runway.

The renovation project was a three-month long initiative that had Marines and Navy Seabees collaborate as part of an Innovative Readiness Program (IRT).

The work officially concluded mid-April.

The nonprofit Catalina Island Conservancy, which operates the airport, planned the project with the military to meet the standards of the California Department of Transportation’s Aeronautics Division that requested a longterm plan to repair the site and continue utilizing it as a public property.

“Not very long ago– in the matter of less than a year– we were not going to have a runway,” Tony Budrovich, Catalina Island Conservancy president and CEO, told the Signal Tribune. “It was at the end of its service life. [...] And working with the military, we found a way to bring back Catalina history– 70 years of flying history– on this island. [...] And it’s

triumphant, because what the military did in three and a half months would have taken private contractors well over a year. It’s just super impressive understanding what the military is capable of, both Marines and Navy Seabees. It just makes us proud to be Americans.”

Last October, the nonprofit announced its partnership with the Marines and Navy for the Airport in the Sky Runway Repair Project. In December, troops began moving equipment, about 500 tons, to the island for the reparations. In January, the military workers set up an encampment at the airport to stay on-site during the project.

According to the conservancy, its partnership with the Department of Defense allowed a total of nearly 200 Marines and Seabees to be deployed to Catalina Island throughout the duration of the project.

Lisbeth Andriessen, IRT major, said her responsibilities are to oversee the various proj-

ects throughout the military. The IRT’s main priority is military training in a real-world environment that can benefit the community.

“This is my favorite part of IRT– when it’s ‘mission complete,’” Andriessen told the Signal Tribune. “The effect on the community, I think you really see the impact. [...] The effects of that training is [that] you get a runway or you get different services to the community, so this was a perfect project that we could bring the Seabees, with their expertise, to train the Marines, who wouldn’t normally do a concrete runway. They would normally do an expeditionary runway.”

Guilty of motherhood

What we don’t think about when we think about Mother’s Day.

By Anita W. Harris, Signal Tribune Staff Writer

T

he holy trinity of mom, apple pie and baseball is part of our nation’s fabric, but only one has a special day– Mother’s Day, celebrated this Sunday.

Though a woman named Anna Jarvis fought to establish Mother’s Day a little more than 100 years ago to honor her own mother, she quickly regretted how commercial it became, according to History. com.

The special day’s commercialism may have been inevitable considering that the church celebration Jarvis hosted for her first Mother’s Day in 1908 was paid for by John Wanamaker, a Philadelphia department-store owner.

That same day, thousands of people also attended a Mother’s Day event at one of Wanamaker’s stores. Apparently, he was not one to miss a good marketing gimmick.

Mother’s Day soon became a national holiday in 1914, but by 1920, Jarvis was begging people to stop buying flowers, candies and cards in its name.

By the time she died in 1948, Jarvis had spent her wealth filing

lawsuits against those who used because they base their parenting the holiday for personal or other on their own mothers, plus all the gain.

and shame,” they say. “It may also lessen anger directed toward children, as shame-proneness is related to experiencing anger toward the object of shame.”

Even though a single day for mothers may not help alleviate all that guilt and shame, Katharine Antolini– a professor who wrote a book about Jarvis– points out that Mother’s Day is the only national holiday explicitly celebrating women as opposed to honoring men.

And despite her best efforts to decommercialize and even get rid of it, Jarvis herself might make you feel guilty for not shelling out on Mother’s Day. “When a son or daughter cannot endure the name ‘mother’ for a single day of the year,” Antolini quotes Jarvis, “it would seem there is something wrong.”

“My mother , Agnes King, was a hard working single mother. Life was not always easy but she rarely complained.

On top of her own 4 children, when she went to work for the Long Beach Police Department, she became “Mom” to a 100 or so Boys in Blue.

She opened her home to them when they had to work on holidays. She opened her heart to them when they were dealing with personal problems or the stresses of their job. My brothers, sister and I, as well as the officers we shared her with were blessed to call her mom”

Signal Tribune

May 10, 2019

Forum continued from page 1

Maywood, Signal Hill, Paramount, South Gate, Vernon, Walnut Park, Huntington Park and most of Long Beach, with portions of the cities of Lakewood and Los Angeles– per the sd33.senate.ca.gov/district website.

The forum on Monday, May 6, featured the two candidates, a plethora of supporters for both potential Senators and members of the Wrigley Association. Alan Burks, president and director of architecture at Environ Architecture Inc., was the moderator for the event and directed audience questions via notecards to the candidates.

The candidates made their opening remarks– Guerrero presenting himself first upon winning a coin flip– and soon Burk shared questions from the audience, the first of which inquired about the candidates’ stances on gas tax.

Gonzalez answered first, admitting that she is supportive of gas tax, despite its “divisive” reputation with residents, because the money helps support infrastructure.

“We know that there are 380 bridges that will be done or completed in the next year because of this gas tax,” she said. “[…] It’s more complicated in California. We’re a high cost-of-living state. But not only that, we pay for a little bit more because we do things like refining

our oil to reduce smog emissions. Is that so bad, that we have to pay 26 extra cents because we want to deter these emissions? No, I don’t think it’s bad. […] I think it’s an important tax for us to do.”

Guerrero retorted, saying that transportation infrastructure “is absolutely imperative,” but that the issue isn’t a matter of a lack of funding, but rather a “mismanagement” of said funds.

“What we’re doing is basically feeding the beast on mismanagement and big government that is purposely diverting funds that they were required to implement for development and infrastructure,” he said. “I also think that the gas tax is very regressive, as I mentioned at the outset. In fact, it’s the second highest in the entire state of California. And it’s poor people and working people, like those that I represent in the city of Cudahy as a councilmember, who bear the greatest brunt when they have to drive to work, when they have to feed their family and make ends meet.”

In regard to climate change, Guerrero said he is aware of the impacts of long-term mistreatment of the environment, but said that current California policies that aim to rectify the problem have “deleterious consequences for poor people.”

“[…] Disproportionately what happens with a lot of environmental laws is that people from disadvantaged communities like mine are the ones that pay a disproportionate price for this kind of legislation,” Guerrero said. “But I have alarming concerns about some of these proposals on the table, because there is very little appropriation of funds that come from taxation for environmental purposes ostensibly that go to working families or working communities like the ones I represent.”

Gonzalez added that the pocket of downtown Long Beach that she represents has high asthma rates, in addition to the area of Wilmington. In her argument, she referenced Senate Bill 100 (SB 100), which sets a zero-emissions policy for Californians heading into 2045.

“We need to continue looking at policies that are in place for soil contamination and resources that have been put forth and ensuring that we’re actually enforcing all of these issues,” she said. “[…] We will get there, and we will be very ambitious to ensure that we’re turning the curve.”

She concluded that SB 100’s goal of 2045 can be fast-tracked to 2030 if lawmakers are ambitious in their approach, as aforementioned.

When it comes to opportunities

for children to have access to early education, Gonzalez said universal preschool is something that needs to expand across the region, specifically in areas like Long Beach and southeast Los Angeles.

“As a mother who has a young child in childcare, and I pay a great load for that early education opportunity, I would want to see free early education and expand opportunities across the state of California for the children who do not have access,” she said. “We can absolutely pay for this. I know that we can. [...] And I know [California] Gov. [Gavin] Newsom and I look forward to supporting that budget in applying more funds for both parents and students in these very high-need areas.”

Similarly, Guerrero said he supports early childhood education, citing a few studies that show how investing in education at an early age for kids yields dramatic benefit for them academically in following years. However, Guerrero again criticized the method at which the State distributes funds for these issues.

“At present, over 60 percent of Los Angeles Unified School District funds do not go to the classroom, do not go to teachers– it actually goes to pensions, to excessive compensation for executives, to mismanaged consultants that are charging $250 an

hour,” he said. “[…] We cannot give a quick launch to a failed administration to continue to abuse and misuse public resources.”

When it comes to rent control, Guerrero said the idea is “well intentioned,” but that the application of it has negative effects on affordable housing.

“What happens under rent control is that the supply of housing is subverted,” he said. “We have less people interested in lending out their homes under rent-control regimes because it’s not profitable to do it.

This is just the simple rules of supply and demand that have these deleterious consequences on people. If we look at every failed experiment on rent control, you see that it doesn’t work. It’s well intentioned, but it doesn’t work. It reduces the supply of housing, and it shuts people out of the system from getting affordable housing.”

Gonzalez said the average median income of $72,000 in the state of California has not changed in nearly a decade. She added that people have to live on assistance to “make ends meet.” “[…] What we did in the city council, and what I look forward to providing in the state senate if I’m elected, is looking at ways that we can find tenant protections,” she said. “[…] There are opportunities for us to provide protections for people who are seniors, people with disabilities, because we know it’s even more difficult for people to find housing after they’ve been displaced or been kicked out. [...] We are not producing enough affordable housing for them to be going on to their next step. I believe that there’s more we could do on the tenant-protection side.”

three additional parked vehicles.

Officers said Bingaman was transported to a local hospital by the Long Beach Fire Department and was later pronounced deceased due to major traumatic injuries sustained during the collision. Olivarez was also transported to a local hospital for minor injuries sustained.

Six dogs were being transported in the 2013 Ford as part of a dog daycare service. Four dogs passed away at the scene and two were transported to a local pet hospital.

Subsequently, a fifth dog passed away at the pet hospital due to its injuries, and the remaining surviving dog has been released to its owners from the hospital, according to the LBPD. Olivarez was booked for evading a police officer, felony DUI, vehicular manslaughter, grand theft auto and had an outstanding no-bail warrant for a post-release community supervision violation involving a robbery. He is being held at the Long Beach City Jail with no bail. The LBPD stated that collision-investigations detectives expect to present their case to the Los Angeles District Attorney’s Office “in the near future.”

cluster: medical, dental, financial, automotive, pet and, of course, dining and retail in our district. If you haven’t realized it in full yet, we are loaded with excellent providers of goods and services.

We thank everyone that responded with great feedback to the question (shared via social media and email) “What would you like to see in the former Hof’s Hut space?� We are working with a listing agent for this property to help find tenants that truly serve the neighborhood.

We received over 800 responses to our question and shared each one with that agent (as well as others representing new developments in the area). The reality is Hof’s Hut is NOT coming back, so we want to make it clear to the landlord and agent of what the neighborhood really wants and would support at that location. It’s a prime spot, has the history and is across from the busy center with Trader Joe’s. Surely we could land some great new businesses, right?

The construction at Atlantic and Roosevelt is nearly complete, and the interiors really look amazing.

The Med Compounders Pharmacy will take the corner space (they are currently located at 3711 Long Beach Blvd.), an Asian-fusion restaurant has signed a lease for a second spot and the landlord is working with his leasing agent on interest for the two remaining spaces. We have also shared that feedback from the neighborhood with this landlord and leasing agent to again help steer them in the right direction to serve the neighborhood.

If you’ve noticed some heavy work on the site of the former Royal Buffet, 33rd and Atlantic, this is the surveying of the ground for remediation of the oil wells there. We are keeping an eye and ear on it for progress and, hopefully, the site will be home to a new business in the near future.

We applaud Laserfiche and its plans for expansion on Long Beach Boulevard and 35th Street (another

example of investing locally rather than moving). The company bought up all the surrounding oil properties and will have a second building on the site that will make a great gateway entrance into the district for that corridor. Laserfiche is using the same architect as 3503 LB Boulevard, so there is continuity in the look to that area (Killingsworth/ mid-century modern). Laserfiche will hire more employees and really activate that part of the district. We are hoping to work with Laserfiche to activate the lot adjacent to Phil Trani’s with an art installation once it has been cleaned and made into a (temporary) parking lot for employees.

Keeping the district “clean and safe� remains our top priority. We are currently battling the weeds after all the recent rains. We have regular patrols for weed and litter abatement, as well as reporting graffiti and illegally dumped items. It’s time for us to do another round of power washing the sidewalks, too. I am thankful to all of our contractors that keep an eye on the area and help to keep it looking groomed and attractive.

With the recent closure of the Petroleum Club, we are happy that we found a new location for our business breakfasts and other large meetings. The Mason Lodge at 3610 Locust will be our new meeting spot. If you are interested in hosting a meeting or event there, please let us know and we’ll put you in touch with the right people. Email us at info@bixbyknollsinfo.com or call (562) 595-0081.

In addition to all of this, I am happy to be a part of the city’s Economic Development Commission and contribute to the Economic Development Blueprint, which is a 10year plan for the city. At the April 30

commission meeting, there was an 80-slide blueprint update presentation with all of the incredible work being done city-wide and covering issues such as: the Blueprint implementation process; engines of growth; economic inclusion; jobs and workforce development; business assistance; the development environment; and economic leadership and cooperation.

Please mark your calendars for our Concerts in the Park(ing Lot): June 24– King Salmon at Georgie’s Place – Guaranteed dance party July 22– Jr. Thomas and the Volcanos at Bixby Joe – Reggae Aug. 19– “Tribute to the Buena Vista Social Club� with The Delirians

We hope you’ll come out and participate in our June 7 First Fridays, where we will celebrate the first ever “Bixby Knolls Prom.â€? Think: Corsages, tacky tuxes and puffy dresses, photo ops, slow dances, 80s dances, disco dances‌and the good and all the, well, you know, stuff that makes prom night so memorable.

And finally, we are very proud of the longevity and consistency of our regular events and programs: Strollers, Literary Society, Good Spirits Club, Supper Club, Kidical Mass, Knights of the Round (Turn) Table, and First Fridays. We try to offer something for everyone that allows us to engage the community as a whole and remind folks that it is critical to support our local businesses. We work to create a vibrant district. Your role is to spend some money locally on services, dining and retail. Won’t you please join us to make Bixby Knolls the most active neighborhood in the city?

OK, there you have it. Now it’s time for me to plan some days off for vacation! âœŚ

the life of Bixby Knolls� that’s worth sharing. I left the house early to head to our BKBIA Business Breakfast we hold for our membership, but I first said hello to my neighbors across the alley as they were heading out for the day. I then had breakfast with 90 business owners and discussed the news around the district. After that, I worked all day on BKBIA business and programs before attending our Good Spirits Club meeting at the Willmore Wine Bar in the evening.

After hanging out with more neighbors and business owners, I left a little early to go to Trader Joe’s to get Marley some groceries for her lunches.

There I saw even more familiar faces inside, and I spent half an hour talking to folks from the neighborhood before beginning my shopping. I finally headed home for the night and made it just in time to say goodnight to the same neighbors across the alley.

I like to imagine that this is what it all was like “back in the day� where my parents grew up, or in many Anytowns, USA, where there was a sense of friendliness and community.

What an amazing neighborhood this is, and I feel sorry for those that live elsewhere and do not have the opportunity to share in this type of a true comfortable, connected community experience.

With the longevity of the Strollers, Literary Society, Kidical Mass, First Fridays, Good Spirits Club, Supper Club, Knights of the Round (Turn) Table, the faces are familiar and relationships have grown. The backdrop for all of this is our business corridors.

Business owners play host for locals to socialize, to mix and mingle, to be out among neighbors. We want the

cash registers to ring. Every neighborhood should be as lucky to have a Lucky, or a Dutch, or a Louis the Barber, or a Bundt Man. Or how about a Servando Orozco? The greatest immigrant-turned-successful-businessman story around.

It does take cooperation, collaboration and work to make it all just so. I hope everyone realizes that the BKBIA counts on you all to support these businesses. It’s the American Dream duplicated over 900 times in Bixby Knolls.

This Saturday is Small Business Saturday. Will you please spend some money locally on services, dining or retail? What great timing it is for you to get out and buy something special for Mother’s Day, too. You will contribute to our thriving neighborhood. Many of our business owners live right around the corner from you. And give each other a wave or friendly “hello� when you pass by.

Slow down. Don’t just race down the streets and miss how good we have it here.
