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! HONOR 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. www.lynwood.ca.us | www.facebook.com/mylynwood.ca 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.

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. N O T IC E Seeking 4th of July Vendors www.lynwood.ca.us | www.facebook.com/mylynwood.ca 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 vendors must be registered with the Los Angeles County Health Department and are responsible for bringing their 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 Alvizar Buffet Catering, a light breakfast. For a special treat, and thanks to the Lynwood Unified School District, the LHS Jazz Orchestra took a mini field trip to help make Captain Chavez’s Coffee with the Captain the most successful one yet. own set-up to the event, including tables, chairs, extensions, and canopies.

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.

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.
