Plans for the Rowland Heights Community Center Moving Forward
A new County facility has been designed specifically to provide recreation and community
resources for Rowland Heights families! The new center will be located at Pathfinder
Community Regional Park on the lower level. With the input from a Community Advisory
Committee and community members, a design was developed to offer a variety of programs for
all ages. The new 16,700 square foot facility has a development budget of $18 million and will
include a multi-purpose room with a stage that will accommodate banquet style seating for up
to 300 people and performance style
seating for up to 581 people. Also
included in the design is an exercise
studio, arts and crafts room, gallery,
computer room, catering kitchen, new
tennis courts, new basketball court,
and expanded on-site parking. The new
County-owned facility was designed by
Gonzalez-Goodale Architects and upon completion will be operated by the
Los Angeles County Department of Parks and Recreation. To learn more about
the new center, contact (909) 594-6561.
Redistricting Results in
Changes to the Rowland
Heights County Boundary Lines
www.redistricting.lacounty.gov
What is Redistricting?
Every ten years, the United States Census Bureau
attempts to count every person in the country.
After the last Census, the population of Los Angeles
County was divided as evenly as possible into five
supervisorial districts for the Board of Supervisors.
How was Redistricting Completed?
The Board is required to adjust the boundaries of
any or all of the supervisorial districts following
each census to ensure fair representation and
ensure that districts are equal in population.
Thousands of individuals and members of
community groups participated in the redistricting
process, including members of the Rowland Heights
community, through community workshops, public
hearings and online. The boundary lines were
redrawn which resulted in the Fourth Supervisorial
District representing all of Rowland Heights. See
map on page 16.

Sheriff’s Discuss Realignment
with the Community
On Friday, March 16, 2012, the Rowland Heights Community Coordinating
Council (RHCCC) heard concerns from residents about the Realignment (or
transfer) of prisoners from the State to the Los Angeles County public safety
system and early release programs. State Assemblymember Curt Hagman was
joined by Chief James Lopez, Sheriff’s Department, Captain Dave Halm of the
Walnut/Diamond Bar Sheriff’s Station and Dickie Simmons of the Fourth
Supervisorial District, to answer questions. Details were discussed on how the
program is designed to work, how the Sheriff’s Department plans to implement
their new assignments, and the affect it will have on local communities. For
more information on Realignment, please contact Lieutenant Ken McWaid at
(323) 981-5300.

Nogales Street Grade Separation
Waiting for a passing train at train crossings can be frustrating!
The Alameda Corridor East Construction Authority (ACE), in conjunction
with the Department of Public Works and the
City of Industry, is completing design on a grade
separation project on Nogales Street at the
Union Pacific Railroad crossing. The project
will enhance safety, reduce traffic congestion,
and improve emergency response.
ACE estimates that construction will begin
mid-2012 and will take approximately three
years to complete.
Citrus Tree Disease Detected in
Rowland Heights
http://www.cdfa.ca.gov/phpps/acp
Toll-free pest hotline (800) 491-1899
A deadly plant disease called
Huanglongbing (HLB), also known
as citrus greening disease, has been
found in your area and could be a
death sentence for backyard citrus trees.
The disease is spread by a pest called the Asian citrus psyllid.
In order to save our citrus, you should:
• Keep Homegrown Citrus at Home. Your area is under
quarantine. Reduce the spread of citrus diseases by not
moving your homegrown citrus fruit or plants out of
quarantine areas.
• Inspect Citrus Plants Regularly. Symptoms of the
disease include yellow mottling of the leaves, lopsided fruit
and excessive fruit drop. Psyllids and eggs are typically
found on new shoots.
• Check Citrus Plant Suppliers. Only buy citrus plants
from a reputable, licensed California nursery.
• Avoid Fines and Penalties. If you knowingly purchase
citrus in violation of quarantine regulations and
requirements, the penalties could range from $1,100 to
$60,000 per violation.
Visit SaveOurCitrus.org to learn more. If you think you
have Huanglongbong or the Asian citrus psyllid, call the
California Department of Food and Agriculture at
(800) 491-1899.

Watermelon Lemonade: Puree 4 cups of cubed seedless watermelon with
the juice from 3 lemons and pour over ice.
Fresh Fruit Cooler: Blend 1/2 cup ice, 3/4 cup sugar-free sparkling

DID YOU KNOW?
New Law Requires Carbon Monoxide Detectors
http://www.fire.ca.gov
in Homes
California State law now requires all homeowners to install carbon
monoxide detectors in their homes. Carbon monoxide poisoning
claims lives every year and sends more than 20,000 people to
emergency rooms across the nation. It is a colorless, odorless gas
that is produced when fuel such as gas, oil, kerosene, wood, or
charcoal is burned. Heaters, fireplaces, furnaces and many
appliances and cooking devices can produce carbon monoxide.
Protect yourself by adding carbon monoxide detectors on every
floor and outside each sleeping area.
