OUT WARNING.
In January, the City Council approved an agreement allowing EarthLink, one of the nation’s largest Internet service
providers, to create a Wi-Fi broadband network, making Anaheim one of the first wireless cities in Southern California.
Under the agreement, EarthLink will install the network on
streetlight and traffic signal poles, enabling anyone who pays
for the service to access the Internet in most areas in the City.
For small businesses, Anaheim’s wireless network will provide
an alternative for broadband connectivity, such as an affordable wireless T-1 solution.
“The City of Anaheim is one of the premier destinations
for business and pleasure on the West Coast, and deploying
citywide wireless broadband only reinforces this image to
residents and visitors,” said Donald Berryman, executive vice
president of EarthLink and president of the ISP’s municipal
networks division. “This solution will provide an alternative
to traditional high-speed Internet offerings and give users an
affordable option to stay connected no matter when and no
matter where they are in Anaheim.”
By offering innovations, such as wireless high-speed broadband connectivity, city officials believe that other high-tech
businesses will use Anaheim as a test-bed for their emerging
technology as well. ]

it is estimated that 3,000 students will take advantage of the
TWLC and its resources.
The 14-acre campus was designed to provide students with
access to the most interactive, technologically advanced equipment and curriculum. It includes a 1,200 square foot multimedia center, a 200-seat auditorium, a computer lab containing
more than 100 computer stations, a student lounge and a
café. Thanks to Anaheim Public Utilities, the TWLC will also
serve as an energy efficiency showcase with a solar electric curtain wall, a solar electric panel and an interactive display allowing students to explore electric energy, renewables and
conservation measures and the history of Anaheim’s
municipal electric utility. In addition, the center includes a 10-acre driving range with
20 tee stations and a three acre 18hole putting course. ]

enrichment programs in reading, math, science and technology. It also offers specific classes that promote career exploration and preparation in areas including forensic science,
engineering, aerospace, video production and home design.
“My goal for the TWLC is to provide students with a
place to explore their dreams and open doors to new
opportunities and potential career paths,” said

This year the City is focused on creating a City Hall that
serves residents 24/7, opening the door for greater competition among cable service providers and amending the City
Charter to protect homeowners’ rights.
Those initiatives and others were outlined during the
Mayor’s State of the City address in January. If approved by the
City Council, over the course of the year, city staff will work to:

When the project is completed, residents will be able
to enjoy hiking and biking trails,
picnicing and interpretive displays. The City is also working on a related project with
UCLA’s Landscape Architecture Certification program,
in which students will conceptually redesign the Santa

Establish the “Mayor’s Young Scholars” program, which, in partnership

County Visitor &
Convention Bureau
Celebrates 45
Years of Business
N 1961, THE ANAHEIM VISITOR AND CON-
BUREAU OPENED ITS DOORS IN
A SMALL FARMHOUSE.
VENTION
Today, as the Bureau celebrates its 45th anniversary, it has
grown from five employees to 50 and is now located at the
Anaheim Convention Center. But its mission remains the same.
Since 1961 the Bureau has worked with area hotels, attractions,
transportation, restaurants, shopping and entertainment
companies as well as meeting planners, travel wholesalers,
the media and consumers to promote the Anaheim area as a
leading destination for conventions, meetings and vacations.
Its efforts have helped make Anaheim one of the nation’s
top destinations for leisure and business travelers. With the
largest convention center on the West Coast, the Arrowhead
Pond of Anaheim—named one of the best arenas in the world,
and Disneyland—the original Disney theme park, Anaheim
draws more than 20 million people annually to experience its
entertainment offerings and venues. Overall, visitors to Anaheim and Orange County spend more than $7 billion dollars
annually. As the Bureau seeks to further improve its promotion
of the area, look for a more visually appealing and dynamic
website to be unveiled this spring.
“Branding our destination to stand out among the competition continues to drive our programs, from sales tactics
to advertising to the Internet,” Charles Ahlers, president of
the Bureau remarked. “What makes the Anaheim area appealing is more than our exceptional facilities and entertainment,
but also our level of hospitality, family-friendly attitude, safety and lively resort atmosphere.” ]

improvements include upgraded plumbing, electric, heating
and air conditioning systems.
ACSD continues to work on plans for two new elementary
schools, one in the north central area of Anaheim (a site near La

ACSD increase eligibility for state funding so that the District

Anaheim— It’s the only city in Southern California
that is home to a National Hockey League team, a
Major League Baseball franchise and a U.S. Olympic
team. Add in the fact that it’s the site of the largest
indoor sports facility in the country and boasts more
than 20 youth sports organizations and it’s easy to
see why Anaheim is the center for professional and
amateur sports in the region.

ince the 1960s, millions of people have attended numerous baseball, hockey and football
games in Anaheim. In 2002, thousands crowded Angel Stadium of Anaheim to watch the
Anaheim Angels win the World Series and in 2003 hockey fans rocked the Arrowhead Pond of Anaheim as the Mighty Ducks won the Western Conference Championship.
As a result, Sporting News magazine named Anaheim Best Sports City in 2003.
The City has hosted MLB All Star Games, the Freedom Bowl, the John R. Wooden
Basketball Classic, the 2004 U.S. Olympic Team Trials—Gymnastics Championships
and the 2005 World Badminton Championships with 300 athletes from more than 50
countries and regions. Golfers from throughout Southern California tee off each day on Dad
Miller—where Tiger Woods was groomed for greatness—and Anaheim Hills golf
courses. And Anaheim’s central location has attracted the attention of the NFL, which approached the City about the possibility of bringing a professional football team to Anaheim.
Anaheim has secured its place among great sports
cities and the future remains promising. This year,
Anaheim’s Dad Miller Golf Course saw the opening of the Tiger Woods Learning Center,
Angel Stadium of Anaheim will host the
World Baseball Classic and the USA Men’s
National Volleyball team arrives in April,
allowing fans to see some of the best volleyball players in the world prepare for the
2008 Olympics. In addition, Disneyland is
hosting its first Half Marathon in September
and the arrival of a National Basketball Developmental League team is under consideration.
Baseball, hockey, volleyball and more. All available
within a 50 square-mile radius. This issue of Anaheim

eet Anaheim’s newest hometown heroes. At just

in the city and their favorite colors are red, white,

This spring Anaheim welcomes the USA Men’s National
Volleyball team, currently the world’s fifth ranked team.
For two weeks last summer, Team USA made its home in
the City, drawing hundreds of curious fans to the American Sports Center to watch them train. The visit made
such a significant impact on the team’s performance
internationally that they vowed to return. Now, the team
is here to stay.
Thanks to the generosity of local businesses, the 20
players and four coaches are leaving their training site in
Colorado Springs for Anaheim in April. USA Volleyball
is banking on the fact that the move will increase the
team’s chances for a gold medal at the 2008 Olympic
Games in Beijing.
Following their 2005 visit, USA stunned the world’s best
team, 2004 Olympic gold medalist Brazil, defeating them
at home in five sets to win the America’s Cup tournament
for the first time in USA Volleyball history. The men’s team
went on to win first place in the FIVB World Championship Qualifying Tournament in Puerto Rico and in the
NORCECA Continental Championship in Canada. In
November, the team took second place in Japan at the
FIVB World Grand Champions Cup.

By the end of 2005, Team USA had posted the highest winning percentage of any men’s national team since 1988 and registered 27 wins—the most by a men’s team since 2000. The
team finished the year by winning 18 of its last 19 matches,
including 14-straight at one point.
“There is no doubt in my mind that training at sea-level,
in a world-class facility, with a community that was genuinely
supportive of our team helped us significantly,” Coach Hugh
McCutcheon said of the two-week training visit.
While training at a high altitude benefits aerobic athletes,
in volleyball it impacts the trajectory of the ball, negatively affecting players’
skills. But the benefits of relocating
to Anaheim extend
beyond training at
sea-level. Many of
the players are
USA Men’s National Volleyball Team
from Southern California and this move brings them closer
to home, improving their quality of life, McCutcheon said. In
addition, the team’s ability to recruit new players will improve
because many of the best players in the country are from
Southern California.
“Our goal is to become the 2008 Olympic Men’s Volleyball
Champions,” McCutcheon said. “It’s going to take an
incredible amount of work, a lot of skill, and a little
bit of luck for us to achieve. The good news is that
by moving to Anaheim we are capable of accomplishing this goal.” ]

Team USA ended the 2005 season
27-6—the most wins by a men’s team
since 2000. In addition, for the first
time in the history of USA Volleyball,
the team won the Americas’ Cup, beating Brazil, the current Olympic, World
Cup and World Champions in their own
country. Now McCutcheon, a native
of Christchurch, New Zealand, and the
team are focusing on a tough road
ahead in 2006.
“Hugh has a great sense of the tradition and history of USA men’s volleyball,”
sad Doug Beal, the long-time head coach
who guided the USA men’s team to an
Olympic gold medal in 1984 and is now
serving as chief executive officer of USA
Volleyball. “He has a wonderful relationship with the players. He is one of
the brightest coaches that I have ever
had the pleasure of working with.”
McCutcheon has played on the New
Zealand junior and senior national
teams, was a member of New Zealand’s
1996 national team and represented his
country on the FIVB Beach Volleyball
World Tour in 1997.
He played for Brigham Young
University (BYU) from 1991-1993 after
transferring from the University of
Canterbury in New Zealand. From 1995-
9
2001 he was the top assistant coach and
recruiter for BYU. During that time the
Cougars posted a record of 138-44 and
captured two NCAA men’s volleyball
championships (1999 and 2001).
McCutcheon has served as a volunteer
assistant coach for the men’s national
team, helping out during the 2001 World
League, the 2002 World Championships
and on five international tours. He served
as the head coach of the USA Boy’s Youth
National Team in 2000 and 2001. In 2004
McCutcheon was assistant coach of the
men’s national team during the Olympics
in Athens.
McCutcheon has a bachelor’s degree

West Championships. Despite injuries to Vladimir
Guerrero, Garret Anderson, Adam Kennedy and
Francisco Rodriguez, the team made it to the playoffs,
ending the season with 95 wins — their second best in
franchise history.
Pitching was what ultimately powered the Angels in 2005.
American League Cy Young Winner Bartolo Colon went
21-8 and John Lackey added a 14-5 mark. Guerrero led
the team in many offensive categories, including batting
average (.317), home runs (32) and RBIs (108). After
defending their AL West title for the first time in franchise history, the Angels lost to the eventual World Series
champion White Sox in the ALCS.
Now the team is looking to 2006 to reclaim the World
Champion title it earned in 2002. Among the players
returning this season are Darin Erstad, Chone Figgins,
and Francisco Rodriguez, the team’s key reliever for the
past three seasons.

ith Henry and Susan Samueli purchase of the
Mighty Ducks of Anaheim on June 20, 2005, a
new era of hockey began in Anaheim and Southern California.
With a new management team and coaching staff in
place, as well as the addition of several new players to
the team, the Ducks have a new look and style of play
this season.
Along with a commitment to putting a winning team
on the ice, the Samuelis have been focused on creating
more hockey fans throughout Southern California. They
have increased the team’s presence at ice and roller hockey
rinks in Southern California and established programs to
support rinks in developing amateur hockey.
In addition, the organization has started working with
elementary schools to teach hockey and demonstrate the
importance of physical activity as part of a healthy lifestyle. “It’s really an amazing commitment we are making
to this community and to the team,” Henry Samueli said.
“This is our home and, therefore, we are truly committed
to making the Mighty Ducks a great, great
hockey club.” ]

THE
M AKING OF

I
t began in 1964. When Gene Autry agreed to move
his expansion baseball team to Anaheim and talks began with
the American Football League to bring a professional football
team to the City, the face of Anaheim was changed forever.
Here is a brief look at the history of sports in Anaheim and
Anaheim Stadium Under Construction
April 12, 1964 The Angels’ Board of
Directors votes to move its team from
Los Angeles to Anaheim. The move is
contingent upon building a 43,000 seat
facility in time for the 1966 baseball
season. By August 31, a groundbreaking
ceremony is held for the new stadium,
now one of Southern California’s most
notable landmarks.
how it has helped shape the City.
August 2, 1967 The first professional
football game is played at Anaheim
Stadium when the Los Angeles Rams
host the New Orleans Saints.

1970’s In 1973, seating in field boxes for Angels games is $4. General admission
is $1.50. In 1975, the first motorsports event is staged at the stadium. More
than 5,400 cubic yards of soil are trucked in to prepare the course. A Sports
Illustrated survey in 1978 shows that Anaheim Stadium is the only sports
facility in the U.S. to post a profit for the previous year. That same year, the
Los Angeles Rams announce that they will move to Anaheim and City officials reveal that discussions are underway with the National Basketball
Association to bring a team to Anaheim. In 1979 the Big A Scoreboard is
moved 1,300 feet from behind the stadium’s center field wall to its present
location next to the 57 Freeway and the Angels make their first appearance
in the American League playoffs, losing to Baltimore in the best-of-five
game series.

2000’s In 2002 the Anaheim Angels win the World Series. In 2003 the Mighty
Ducks win the Western Conference Championship. Anaheim is named Best
Sports City by Sporting News magazine and the Walt Disney Company sells
the Anaheim Angels to Arte Moreno. In addition, the City Council approves
a new general plan, making way for mixed use development near the
Stadium. Known as the Platinum Triangle, it is slated to be Orange County’s
new downtown with up to 9,174 residences and more than 7 million square
feet of commercial space. In 2004, the NFL asks the City to put together a
proposal for the return of professional football to Anaheim. In 2005, Broadcom
Co-founder Henry Samueli and his wife, Susan, buy the Mighty Ducks from
the Walt Disney Company and the Arrowhead Pond of Anaheim is ranked
third in the world by Billboard magazine. In 2006 the USA Men’s National
Volleyball team relocates to Anaheim, the
Tiger Woods Learning Center opens, and the
Disneyland Half Marathon comes to town.

1980’s The Rams debut at the stadium
in 1980 draws 62,356 fans. The Angels
appear in the American League Playoffs, but lose to Milwaukee in 1982. The
first truck and tractor pull is held at
the Stadium in 1983. The first Freedom
Bowl is played at the Stadium between
Texas and Iowa in 1984. The following
year, a Sport Magazine poll ranks the
stadium as one of the best in the country. In 1986, the Angels come within
one pitch of going to the World Series.
In 1989, the 60th annual MLB All Star
game is held at the Stadium.

1990—1995 In 1993 the Arrowhead Pond of Anaheim opens. Walt Disney
Chairman and CEO Michael Eisner names the National Hockey League’s
newest franchise The Mighty Ducks of Anaheim. In 1994, the City announces
plans to refurbish Anaheim Stadium and the surrounding area. In 1995, the
Walt Disney Company buys 25 percent of the Angels from owners Gene and
Jackie Autry and the Rams relocate to St. Louis.
1996—1999 In 1996, Seattle Seahawks owner Ken Behring
announces he might move the team to Anaheim. In March
1996 Seahawks players arrive in Anaheim to work out in an
outdoor weight room at a Magnolia School District school,
but by the end of the month Behring agrees to return to Seattle after being
threatened with a $500,000 fine each week the team stays in Anaheim. In
April 1996, after much negotiation, Anaheim and Disney reach an agreement for the renovation and operation of Anaheim Stadium. In 1998, after
Gene Autry’s death at the age of 91, Disney purchases 100 percent of ownership interest in the Anaheim Angels. That same year Tinseltown Studios
premieres a 700-seat dinner theater and the Arrowhead Pond of Anaheim
is the nation’s fourth highest grossing concert venue. In 1999 Tinseltown is
transformed into a cutting-edge concert club and is renamed The Sun Theatre.

Two years since Norm Nowell, president of Mission Viejo-based Makena
Properties, opened American Sports
Center (ASC) on Anaheim Boulevard,
the facility—the largest indoor sports
facility of its kind in the world—has
become home to the USA Men’s National
Volleyball team.
“We are proud to be the training facility for the USA Men’s National Volleyball team,” General Manager Mike Gallups said. “We think this is a win-win for
everyone involved—the team, ASC, the
City and the community. Practices are
always open to the public and team
members will be involved in numerous
clinics sponsored by the National Team.”
The men’s team is just the latest group
of athletes to utilize the Center. ASC
also recently welcomed two unique
sports organizations—the Orange Coast
Fencing Academy and EuroGymnastics,
a rhythmic gymnastics club run by noted
Olympian coaches BB Ignatova and
Ivanka Kirov. In all, more than 400,000
athletes from numerous organizations,
including the Southern California Volleyball Association and National Junior
Basketball, use ASC’s 22 volleyball courts,
16 basketball courts and nine indoor
soccer courts each year. They bring with
them more than 300,000 spectators to
Anaheim—many of whom shop, dine
and stay at Anaheim hotels, restaurants
and stores.
In addition to the activity on the court,
ASC leases retail space to Courtside Café
and the American Coffee House; Sports
HQ, a sports-related clothing and equipment store; Competitive Athlete Training
Zone (CATZ), which specializes in sport
specific training and physical therapy;
and National Junior Basketball, which
operates its basketball store. ]

A TOTAL ECONOMIC IMPACT OF
$2 BILLION TO THE REGION.
Looking to make sure a majority of
those development dollars—as well as
money from additional upcoming construction projects—stay in Anaheim,
the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce
has created a new program giving Anaheim businesses a “first look” at information on up-coming contract bidding
opportunities.
The Anaheim First Look Procurement Program is designed to build
the linkages local businesses need to
obtain public and/or private contracting opportunities, or hire subcontractors for their business. The idea for the
program first came to fruition after
the Anaheim City Council’s approval of
Lennar’s A-Town project. The builder
agreed to work with the Chamber of
Commerce to provide Anaheim businesses with bidding information for
upcoming projects. Now the Chamber
is building on this opportunity, creating partnerships with other local developers as well as other industries, to provide the same information to Anaheim
businesses.
As part of the program, the Anaheim
Chamber of Commerce plans to provide
a bidding packet for interested businesses, including an inventory of bidding
opportunities in Anaheim and contract
bidding seminars.
The bidding packet will be made available to all Anaheim Chamber members.
Bidding Packet Information Includes:
Private industry contracting/subcontracting

“We are excited about the prospect
of providing Anaheim businesses the
opportunity to take advantage and benefit from the tremendous growth that
is taking place within our city,” said
Anaheim Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Todd Ament. “As Anaheim businesses continue to grow and
prosper, the tax dollars
they generate are a huge
benefit to the city and
its residents making this
a winning situation for
Todd Ament
everyone involved.”
Contract Bidding Seminars are also
being planned to provide businesses
with an opportunity to hear about new
major developments in Anaheim, learn
about upcoming bidding opportunities
and how to access them, as well as meet
in person, private and public entities
offering bidding opportunities.
Utilities has developed the Greener
Cleaners Incentive Program to help
Anaheim dry cleaners abandon traditional dry cleaning methods that use
perchloroethylene, a known air-quality
contaminant, groundwater pollutant
and possible carcinogen, for alternate
methods that protect the environment
and conserve electricity.
“By 2020, all dry cleaners using perchloroethylene will have to replace
existing equipment to meet new standards set by the Southern California
Air Quality Management District,” said
Earl Lasley, Utilities Resource Program
Specialist. “Recent studies indicate the
new cleaning technologies can provide
reductions of 20 to 40 percent in energy consumption.”
Businesses are eligible to receive a free
analysis of their operations to assist
in selecting the technology best-suited
to their individual business and may
receive up to $6,000 for up-front equipment costs.

Anaheim Chamber of Commerce at
