With summer on the horizon, the City of Lynwood is gearing up to kick off
an array of summertime events and programs that will make summer more
exciting than ever.
Not only has the City’s Olympic-sized pool been renovated just in
time for the summer months, but there are oodles of events in the works
intended to bring out entire families to enjoy the outdoors this summer
throughout the City. Working parents can take advantage of a low-cost
Summer Day Camp offered by the City’s Recreation and Community Services
Department. Summer Day Camp is perfect for kids ages 5 to 13. The program
starts on June 8 and runs through August 28 from
7 a.m. to 6 p.m. and offers kids different activities
throughout the day - allowing a better option for
working parents than leaving kids unattended at
home with nothing to do.
Summer programs will be in full swing by
mid-June. The City’s Second Annual Juneteenth Unity
Festival is scheduled to jam-pack Lynwood City Park
on June 13 with a star-studded lineup of musical
guests and performers, along with a marketplace of
vendors. On that same day, City Hall will be adorned
with purple ribbons in honor of the City’s 5th
Annual Relay for Life, taking place on June 27-28 at
Lynwood Park. The event helps to raise funds for the
American Cancer Society, for awareness and research
campaigns.
It wouldn’t be summer in the City without its popular Movies in
the Park series. The first movie will screen on Thursday, June 18 at 7:45
p.m. at Yvonne Burke/Ham Park. Come prepared for a picnic to reserve your
spot among the 400 to 500 people who come out every Thursday during the
summer to enjoy a movie under the stars. The fun continues when the City’s
third annual Farmer’s Market and Street Fair kicks off on July 2 from 4 to 9
p.m., also at Yvonne Burke/Ham Park.
Still there’s nothing more popular in the City than the annual 4th
of July Spectacular. With an expected attendance of over 8,000 people, this
year’s Fourth of July event promises to be bigger than ever with its fireworks
display, carnival, rock-climbing, tasty food vendors, pony rides and so much
more. The fireworks display starts at 9 p.m. At least no one can say that the
City’s two main parks are underused. Lynwood children and families fill them
every day throughout the year not just during summer months. With so much
going on in the City this summer to bring families together, people can say
that nothing big ever happens here all they want, but they’re not seeing
families enjoying each other’s company outdoors – and that’s pretty big.
Have a great summer Lynwood. See you at the park and at the movies!

CITY CALENDAR PREVIEW
here comes summer
Con el verano en el horizonte, la Ciudad de Lynwood se está preparando para iniciar una
cantidad de eventos y programas de verano que harán que el verano sea más excitante que
nunca.
No solo se ha restaurado la alberca olímpica de la Ciudad justo a tiempo para
los meses calientes de verano, sino que también hay una gran cantidad de eventos que se
están organizando para que las familias entteras disfruten del aire libre. Este verano los
padres que trabajan también pueden beneficiarse del Campamento de Día de Verano a bajo
costo que ofrece el Departamento de Servicios Recreativos y Comunitarios de la Ciudad. El
programa es perfecto para los niños de 5 a 13 años. El programa comienza el 8 de junio
hasta el 28 de agosto de 7 a.m. a 6 p.m. y ofrece a los niños
diferentes actividades a lo largo del día: una mejor opción que
dejar a los niños en casa sin supervisión y sin nada que hacer.
Los programas de verano estarán en pleno
funcionamiento para mediados de junio. El Segundo Festival
Anual de Unidad Juneteenth de la Ciudad está programado
para llenar de multitudes el Lynwood City Park el 13 de junio
con un grupo estelar artistas musicales junto con proveedores
de mercado. Ese mismo día, City Hall sera adornada con cintas
violetas en honor de el 5º Evento Anual Relay for Life que
se llevará a cabo el 27 y el 28 de junio en Lynwood City Park.
El evento ayudara a recaudar fondos para las campañas de
sensibilizacion y conciencia del American Cancer Society.
No sería verano en la ciudad sin su serie popular de Películas
en el Parque para familias. La primera película se proyectará el jueves 18 de junio a las 7:45
p.m. en el Yvonne Burke/Ham Park. Venga preparado para un picnic para reservar su lugar
entre las 400 a 500 personas que salen todos los jueves durante el verano para disfrutar de
una película bajo las estrellas. La diversión continúa cuando la tercera edición anual del
mercado de agricultores arranca el 2 de julio de 4 a 9 p.m. también en Yvonne Burke/Ham
Park.
Despues de todo, la realidad es que no hay nada más espectacular en la ciudad
que nuestra celebración del 4 de julio. Con una asistencia de más de 8,000 personas, este
año la celebración del 4 de julio promete ser más grande que nunca, con su espectáculo de
fuegos artificiales, un carnaval, una escalada en roca, vendedores ambulantes de alimentos
sabrosos, y mucho más. El castillo de fuegos artificiales se inicia a las 9 p.m. Al menos
nadie puede decir que no se usan los dos parques principales de la Ciudad. Con todo lo
que sucederá este verano en la Ciudad para que las familias disfruten del aire libre, las
personas pueden decir que nada grande pasa aquí, pero no ven a las familias disfrutando
de la compañía mutua al aire libre – y eso es muy grande. Que tengan un hermoso verano.
¡Nos vemos en el parque y en las peliculas!
Kid Mayor Program Making Future Leaders
Desarrollar futuros líderes con el Programa del Alcalde Niño
Rosa Parks Elementary School was well
represented during the City of Lynwood’s first May
City Council Meeting as Kid Mayor Richard J. Solis sat
in the Mayor’s seat and proceeded to run the meeting.
The 10-year-old fifth grader from Rosa Parks
Elementary School, with a little sister and family in
the audience, announced that ever since he could remember, he’s always wanted to
help his community but never thought he would be able to do it, or give his ideas to
do so, as a 10-year-old fifth grader.
From calling the May 4, 2015 meeting to order, to participating in the Council
Member’s roll call, introducing the Sheriff’s Department’s Color Guard Presentation,
kicking off the Pledge of Allegiance and the invocation, the young Solis remained calm
and collected. Spearheaded by this year’s Lynwood Mayor, with full support from his
Council colleagues, the 2015 Kid Mayor Program gives 12 star Lynwood Unified School
District students the opportunity to serve as the Junior Mayor of the City for an entire
month. Solis is the fifth student Kid Mayor selected for 2015.
Solis, who received a Proclamation from the City, along with a $400
scholarship from the Mayor, is a fan of the City’s Mayor and his use of Social Media to
show the community how government works. “When I’m the real Mayor of this City, I
want to be there right away to fix things just like our Mayor is,” Solis told the audience.
“When things go wrong, I want to be there.”
The Kid Mayor submitted his first request to the City’s Public Works
Department when he said there was a water leak on his street. “We’re in a drought so
leaks like this should be addressed right away,” Solis said during the Council Meeting.
The Council, along with the audience, smiled and applauded Solis’ request.

La escuela Rosa Parks Elementary School estuvo bien representada
durante la primera Asamblea del Municipio de mayo de la Ciudad de Lynwood
cuando el Alcalde Niño Richard J. Solis se sentó en el asiento del Alcalde y
presidió la reunión.
El niño de 10 años del 5to grado de Rosa Parks Elementary School, con
su hermana menor y su familia en la audiencia, anunció que desde que tiene
memoria, siempre quiso ayudar a su comunidad pero nunca pensó que podría
hacerlo, o que podría dar sus opiniones como un niño de 10 años del 5to grado.
Desde la apertura de la asamblea el 4 de mayo de 2015, participar del llamado
de lista de los Miembros del Municipio, presentar la Presentación de la Guardia
de Color del Departamento del Sheriff, hasta dar inicio al Himno de la Bandera
y la invocación, el joven Solis se mantuvo con calma y tranquilo. Liderado por
el Alcalde de Lynwood de este año con el apoyo total de sus colegas en el
Municipio, el Programa de Alcalde Niño de la Ciudad de Lynwood 2015 brinda a
12 estudiantes estrella del Distrito Escolar Unificado de Lynwood la oportunidad
de actuar como Alcaldes Junior de la Ciudad por un mes completo. Solis es el
quinto estudiante seleccionado para Alcalde Niño en el 2015.
Solis, que recibió una Proclamación de la Ciudad, junto con una beca
de $400 del Alcalde, es un admirador del Alcalde y su uso de los medios sociales
para demostrar a la comunidad cómo funciona el gobierno. “Cuando sea el
verdadero Alcalde de esta Ciudad, quiero estar siempre preparado como nuestro
Alcalde para arreglar las cosas”, dijo Solis a la audiencia. “Cuando algo salga
mal, yo quiero estar ahí.”
El Alcalde Niño presentó su primera petición al Departamento de
Obras Públicas de la Ciudad cuando dijo que había una pérdida de agua en su
calle. “Estamos atravesando una sequía, por lo que es importante tratar este
tipo de pérdidas inmediatamente”, dijo Solis en la Asamblea del Municipio. El
Municipio, junto con la audiencia, sonrió por la petición de Solis.

SAFETY
GRILLING TIPS
Safety Tips
Fire in the grill, under hot dogs and burgers, is a welcome
sight at the family cookout. But fire anywhere else can
make your summer kick-off barbecue memorable for all
the wrong reasons.
1. Propane and charcoal BBQ grills should only be
used outdoors.
2. Keep children and pets away from the grill area.
3. Keep your grill clean by removing grease or fat
buildup.
4. Never leave your grill unattended.
5. The grill should be placed well away from the
home, deck railings and out from under eaves and
overhanging branches.
While the best kind of memories can be made during 4th of July
celebrations, tragedies and injuries caused by fireworks not handled safely
can put a damper on those memories.
The best advice Lt. Todd Deeds, of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s
Department’s Century Station, can give residents this 4th of July is to leave
the firework lightings to the professionals. Encouraging residents to come
out and enjoy the City of Lynwood’s annual 4th of July Spectacular at
Lynwood Park is second nature to Lt. Deeds, but he knows well that people
will set off Safe and Sane Fireworks anyway. He just hopes that families
take every precaution possible to keep themselves and their children safe.
Here are a few tips from Lt. Deeds:
• Fireworks should always be purchased from authorized vendors.
• Teach kids how to keep sparklers away from their face, clothing, hair
and others.
• Never make your own fireworks.
• Keep a bucket of water or a hose nearby for emergencies.
• Never point or throw fireworks at another person.
• Light one firework at a time.
• Don’t pick up any fireworks after an event, they may be hot.
• Never relight a dud.
“This has been an extremely dry year and we’re in the middle of a
drought, so we are urging residents to be very careful when using fireworks
near dry grass or brush. We understand that people want to enjoy their 4th
of July and all of the festivities that come with the holiday, but at the same
time, safety comes first.”
Together, the City of Lynwood and Century Station have launched
a “Say No to Illegal Fireworks Campaign” in hopes of convincing people to
take a pledge to NOT discharge, sell or buy illegal fireworks in the City, or
anywhere else. With nearly 8,000 people expected to attend, this year’s 4th
of July Spectacular will include carnival-like festivities that begin at 3 p.m.
The fireworks display starts at approximately 9 p.m.
Charcoal Grills
1. There are several ways to get the charcoal ready to
use. Charcoal chimney starters allow you to start
the charcoal using newspaper as a fuel.
2. If you use a starter fluid, use only charcoal starter
fluid. Never add charcoal fluid or any other
flammable liquids to the fire.
3. Keep charcoal fluid out of the reach of children and
away from heat sources.
4. There are also electric charcoal starters, which do
not use fire. Be sure to use an extension cord for
outdoor use.
5. When you are finished grilling, let the coals
completely cool before disposing in a metal
container.
Propane Grills
1. Check the gas tank hose for leaks before using it for
the first time each year.
2. Apply a light soap and water solution to the hose.
3. A propane leak will release bubbles.
4. If your grill has a gas leak, by smell or the soapy
bubble test, and there is no flame, turn off the gas
tank and grill.
5. If the leak stops, get the grill serviced by a
professional before using it again.
6. If the leak does not stop, call the fire department.
If you smell gas while cooking, immediately get
away from the grill and call the fire department.
7. Do not move the grill.

Si bien las celebraciones del 4 de julio pueden dejarnos los
mejores recuerdos, las tragedias y lesiones que los fuegos artificiales
causan cuando no se manejan con cuidado pueden arruinar esos recuerdos.
El mejor consejo que el Tte. Todd Deeds, del Century Station del
Departamento del Sheriff del Condado de Los Ángeles, puede brindar a los
residentes este 4 de julio es que dejen que los profesionales se encarguen
de las iluminaciones de los fuegos artificiales. Es natural para el Tte. Deeds
alentar a los residentes a salir y disfrutar del Espectáculo anual del 4 de julio
de la Ciudad de Lynwood en el Lynwood Park, pero sabe muy bien que aún
así las personas usarán fuegos artificiales de Safe and Sane Fireworks. Solo
espera que las familias tomen todos los recaudos posibles para garantizar
su seguridad y la de sus hijos. Estos son algunos consejos del Tte. Deeds:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Los fuegos artificiales siempre se deben comprar a través de
proveedores autorizados.
Es importante enseñarles a los niños a mantener las luces de bengala
lejos del rostro, la ropa, el cabello y las demás personas.
Nunca intente hacer sus propios fuegos artificiales.
Mantenga un balde con agua o una manguera cerca en caso de
emergencias.
Nunca apunte o tire fuegos artificiales a otra persona.
Encienda un fuego artificial por vez.
Nunca recoja fuegos artificiales después de un evento, pueden estar
calientes.
Nunca vuelva a encender un fuego artificial estropeado.
“Este ha sido un año extremadamente seco y estamos en el
medio de una sequía, por lo que estamos pidiendo a los residentes que
tengan mucho cuidado cuando usan los fuegos artificiales cerca del pasto
o arbustos secos. Entendemos que las personas quieren disfrutar del 4
de julio y todas las celebraciones del feriado, pero al mismo tiempo, la
seguridad está en primer lugar.”
Juntos, la Ciudad de Lynwood y Century Station han lanzado una
“Campaña digamos no a los fuegos artificiales ilegales” para convencer
a las personas a comprometerse a NO usar, vender ni comprar fuegos
artificiales ilegales en la Ciudad, ni en ningún otro lugar. Con casi 8,000
personas que se espera que asistirán, el Espectáculo de 4 de julio de este
año incluirá celebraciones al estilo de carnaval que comenzarán a las 3 p.m.
La exhibición de fuegos artificiales comienza aproximadamente a las 9 p.m.
The City of Lynwood’s Recreation & Community
Services Department is seeking vendors to buy booth spaces
for its annual 4th of July Celebration at Lynwood City Park
on Saturday, July 4, 2015. Every year, the City showcases
a spectacular fireworks show, a festive carnival, and great
music, as well as a variety of vendors selling delicious food,
entertaining novelties and providing valuable information
on various topics of interest to the community. All food

About 130 people were treated to a cup of
coffee, breakfast and music by the Lynwood High School
Jazz Orchestra last month as Century Station Captain
Ernie Chavez hosted his Second Annual Coffee with the
Captain at Starbucks on Bullis Road and Martin Luther
King Jr. Boulevard. At the helm for a little over a year
now, Captain Chavez hosts these Coffees with the Captain
in order to meet members of the community in a more
informal setting.
Captain Chavez has made getting to know the
community and vice versa, his priority. “I can’t stress
that enough to all of our deputies. I’ve always felt that
it’s important that deputies know the community, know
their needs, and for the community to get to know them
too.” Several canopies, tables and chairs were set up in
the parking lot, where Starbucks donated the coffee and

treat, and thanks to the Lynwood Unified School District,

Firebaugh High School’s
10th Anniversary
T
he late Marco Antonio Firebaugh’s family
joined the Lynwood Unified School District
recently to celebrate Firebaugh High
School’s 10th Year Anniversary. Firebaugh High
School celebrates Marco Antonio Firebaugh every
year by honoring the school’s top students with
scholarships. “We are so humbled to know that
this community honors my father’s legacy every
year with a celebration,” said his daughter, Tlalli
Ariana, as she accepted a bouquet of flowers
from the school’s parents, administration and
Associated Student Body. “Thank you for keeping
his legacy alive and teaching students today
about his advocacy for education.” The 10 Year
Anniversary Celebration featured performances
by local dance groups; several keynote speakers
and a mini-resource fair.
2ND ANNUAL FESTIVAL OF THE ARTS
H
undreds of families turned out for the Lynwood Unified
School District’s and City of Lynwood’s Second Annual
Festival of the Arts 2015 at Lynwood High School. The
collaborative effort brought out dozens of student artists from
across the school district, and from within the City, to display
their works of art and showcase their talents in art, music,
dance, song, poetry, culinary arts, spray painting, photography
and theatrical performances. “This event aimed to shine a
light on all of the arts, on all of the cultures that make up our
community,” said Mark Flores, Director of the City’s Recreation
and Community Services Department. “The arts are a very
important component in the development of a community. Our
youth athletic program is highly successful, but we know that
not everyone is into sports. Every child is different so as a City
and a School District, we want to do our best to give all of our
youth different outlets to express themselves – the arts present
those avenues.” The annual Festival of the Arts has been created
to raise awareness, appreciation and exposure of the arts.
Attendees were treated to performances by Abstractus, La Raza,
the LEAP Program, the Lynwood High School Dance Club, the
Lynwood Steppers, the Young Actor’s Guild, Fusion Girls, Latin
Mirage, and the Princess Feet Dance Company.

CITY POOL NOW OPEN
Photo of the month
After months of being closed for
renovations, the City of Lynwood’s Natatorium reopened recently just in time for the summer months.
Swimming is only one of the many activities that
can be enjoyed at the Lynwood Natatorium! It also
offers Under-Water Hockey, Aqua Aerobics, Lap
Swim, Pool Rentals and Senior Aerobics as well as
the opportunity to join the Lynwood Marlins Swim
Team! Repairs were made on the water tank, floor
joints were re-caulked, and swim lanes have been
freshly painted. Showers, restrooms, and interior
doors of the Natatorium also underwent necessary
repairs and the pool deck tile and grout were also
cleaned. The interior walls throughout the facility
have also been re-painted. The Lynwood Natatorium
looks brand new, and not to mention, that it remains
heated at 85 degrees at all times. While more repairs
to the patio area are still to come (the patio will
remain closed through July), the Natatorium will
remain open during its normal summer schedule.

Festival de la Unión Juneteenth
The stage is being prepped, entertainers being signed and
vendors lining up for the City of Lynwood’s Second Annual Juneteenth
Unity Festival taking place on Saturday, June 13, 2015 at Lynwood City
Park.
Juneteenth is the oldest known celebration commemorating
the ending of slavery in the United States. Dating back to 1865, it
was on June 19th that the Union soldiers, led by Major General Gordon
Granger, landed at Galveston, Texas with news that the war had ended
and that the enslaved were now free. Today, Juneteenth is promoted
not only as a commemoration of African-American freedom, but as an
example and encouragement of self-development and respect for all
cultures.
Held in conjunction with Juneteenth celebrations across the
country, the City of Lynwood’s Juneteenth Unity Festival expects to
bring together close to 500 people.
In honor of this historic event, the City of Lynwood is joining
forces with the Uniting Nationalities Intelligently Through Education
Coalition (U.N.I.T.E), local businesses and local legislators Assemblymen
Anthony Rendon, Mike Gipson and Senators Ricardo Lara and Isadore
Hall III, to unite all of the nationalities of our communites for a day of
culture, spoken word, history, music, food, fun and a focus on unity,
self-improvement, understanding and education.
The Second Annual Juneteenth Unity Festival takes place on
Saturday, June 13, 2015 from 2 to 6 p.m. at Lynwood City Park, 11301
Bullis Road, Lynwood CA 90262. This event is free and open to the public

sino que también es un ejemplo y aliento de desarrollo personal y respeto
hacia todas las culturas.

PICK OF THE MONTH :
Join the Relay for Life:
June 27-28, 2015 - Lynwood City Park
The fifth annual City of Lynwood’s
Relay for Life, an American Cancer Society
fundraiser, takes place the weekend of June
27-28, 2015 at Lynwood City Park. The 24hour Relay for Life event begins at 9 a.m. on
June 27 and ends at 9 a.m. on June 28.
Aside from participating in the
American Cancer Society’s annual communitybased fundraising event for the fifth year
in a row, this year the Lynwood City Council
took it up a notch and declared June 2015 as
“Lavender Month” in honor of Cancer Survivor
Awareness Month.
Participants in this event seek
sponsors, form teams, and walk together
during a 24-hour period. Registration for this
event is free, but there will be a donation
table at the event. All donations are welcome.
Usually teams walk together around the park
during a 24-hour period, or they will keep a
member of their team walking around the
park at all times. This year, participants don’t
have to stay for the entire 24 hours. While
the event is the American Cancer Society’s
biggest fundraiser, the event’s purpose is to
raise awareness. This year, the Lynwood Relay
for Life is seeking the community’s help in
celebrating those who have overcome this
disease, remember those who have lost their
battles to cancer, and those who continue
their fight! The community is invited to either
be a sponsor of the event, a participant or
simply come out and cheer for other walkers
in the 24-hour relay! To get involved, please
call (310) 886-0413.
