Ebell Society<br />

Celebrates 100 Years<br />

LONGSIDE ANAHEIM’S 150TH ANNIVER-<br />

SARY, THE MEMBERS OF EBELL CLUB OF<br />

ANAHEIM HAVE UNITED IN 2007 TO CELE-<br />

BRATE 100 YEARS OF THE ADVANCEMENT OF<br />

WOMEN IN INTELLECTUAL CULTURE AND INDI-<br />

VIDUAL PURSUITS.<br />

On July 10, 1907, Mrs. Harry W. Dyer invited nine women<br />

to gather at the <strong>Anaheim</strong> Masonic Hall to explore establishing<br />

a club that would further the cultural and intellectual<br />

pursuits <strong>of</strong> local women. On November 23, 1907, the Ebell<br />

Society <strong>of</strong> <strong>Anaheim</strong> was <strong>of</strong>ficially established and was later<br />

incorporated in 1922. Today, Ebell is affiliated with the National<br />

Federation <strong>of</strong> Women’s Clubs, Orange District.<br />

Over the past century, Ebell has become one <strong>of</strong> <strong>Anaheim</strong>’s<br />

most notable women’s clubs. Intensely interested in civic development,<br />

Ebell Society supported the <strong>City</strong> library and furnished<br />

its Children’s Room, endorsed teaching domestic science and<br />

manual training in local schools, and worked to establish a<br />

<strong>City</strong> park, among many other things.<br />

The Ebell Club <strong>of</strong> <strong>Anaheim</strong> has evolved from a focused<br />

cultural entity, to a non-pr<strong>of</strong>it organization that keeps its<br />

finger firmly planted on the cultural pulse <strong>of</strong> the <strong>City</strong>. Its<br />

diverse members have nurtured <strong>Anaheim</strong>’s heritage, advancing<br />

its cultural and intellectual growth, while helping to<br />

provide a base for a proud and promising future for the <strong>City</strong><br />

<strong>of</strong> <strong>Anaheim</strong>.<br />

Serving as a positive role model for women <strong>of</strong> all ages, the<br />

Ebell Club <strong>of</strong> <strong>Anaheim</strong>’s motto stands strong, “Live as if you<br />

would die tomorrow; learn as if you lived forever.”<br />

NAHEIM RESIDENT TANNER ROBINSON<br />

WON THE TITLE OF NATIONAL CHAMPION<br />

AT THE JUNIOR OLYMPIC CHAMPIONSHIP FOR<br />

TRAMPOLINE & TUMBLING IN MEMPHIS, TEN-<br />

NESSEE THIS SUMMER.<br />

Robinson, 8, competed in the 9-10 year-old bracket and<br />

scored 25.7 out <strong>of</strong> a possible 30.0 points, allowing him to take<br />

home the title. His success at Nationals stems from his accomplishment<br />

at the Southern California State Championships<br />

in April. The third-grader placed second in Trampoline and<br />

first place in Double Mini Trampoline, making him the State<br />

Champion in Double Mini.<br />

With two titles in Robinson’s first year <strong>of</strong> competing, his family<br />

couldn’t be happier. “It’s truly overwhelming. He’s worked<br />

so hard for it, this is such a huge milestone at such a young age,”<br />

mom, Dina Robinson, said.<br />

Tanner has been around trampolines since he was six months<br />

old and has been bouncing for recreation most <strong>of</strong> his life. His<br />

pre-team training began in January 2006 and he soon joined<br />

the competition team in September 2006.<br />

Along with Tanner’s natural ability, his coaches, Logan<br />

Dooley (currently training at the Olympic Training Center in<br />

Colorado) and Robert Null (2000 USA Olympic Coach) are<br />

a big part <strong>of</strong> the young athlete’s success.<br />

When Tanner is not studying or training six hours a week,<br />

you can find him doing flips and jumping with his brother<br />

and sister on his family’s trampoline here in <strong>Anaheim</strong>. ❚<br />

RE-DEDICATION THIS SPRING.<br />

The elegant three-story Queen Anne Revival style property,<br />

southwest corner <strong>of</strong> Palm (now Harbor Blvd.) and Center<br />

(now Lincoln Ave.) Streets.<br />

In November 1907, the property was purchased by Peter<br />

St<strong>of</strong>fel, who operated a grocery, fuel and feed store on<br />

Center Street.<br />

On June 17, 1949 the Woelke-St<strong>of</strong>fel House was moved to<br />

its current site. It was dedicated on July 16, 1950 by the Native<br />

Sons and Daughters <strong>of</strong> the Golden West and a few years later<br />

it was donated to the American Red Cross, <strong>Anaheim</strong> Chapter.<br />

In May 1973, the house was <strong>of</strong>ficially turned over to the Red<br />

Cross Orange County Chapter and served as a Red Cross<br />

service center for many years.<br />

The <strong>City</strong> purchased the house in September 2006. The<br />

<strong>Anaheim</strong> Red Cross House will continue to play a noteworthy<br />

role in the <strong>City</strong>’s history and community as a historic park is<br />

MCDUFFIE<br />

leven-year <strong>City</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Anaheim</strong> employee<br />

James McDuffie is a proud veteran.<br />

McDuffie spent eight years in the Marines—<br />

four years in active duty and four years as<br />

a reserve—and currently works as an <strong>Anaheim</strong><br />

Fire Department Paramedic.<br />

“The Marines made me grow up,” says<br />

McDuffie. “It gave me responsibility, taught<br />

me to be more independent, self sufficient<br />

James McDuffie and gave me a better outlook on life.”<br />

During his military duty, McDuffie spent eight months<br />

as part <strong>of</strong> the 3rd battalion 9th Marines in the Middle East<br />

during Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm.<br />

With Veteran’s Day this month, McDuffie is proud to be to<br />

one <strong>of</strong> those Americans that have served this country. “Veteran’s<br />

Day celebrates the fact that there are people who are willing<br />

to risk their lives to provide freedom for America and for the<br />

families that live here,” says McDuffie.<br />

Some <strong>of</strong> his best experiences in the military included going<br />

overseas to countries such as Turkey, Spain, France, Africa<br />

and Israel. “It was interesting seeing how others live,” recalls<br />

McDuffie. “It made me realize how good it is to know that I<br />

come from America.”<br />

The <strong>City</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Anaheim</strong> would like to thank all <strong>Anaheim</strong> residents<br />

and employees who have served or currently serve their<br />

country in the United States military. ❚<br />

<strong>Anaheim</strong>’s<br />

Starlet to<br />

Watch<br />

�13<br />

<strong>Anaheim</strong> Hills resident Sabrina Bryan<br />

is more than just a rising star —<br />

she’s a compassionate, talented and<br />

successful performer who is taking<br />

the entertainment world by storm…<br />

and setting the stage on fire.<br />

A dancer since age 7, Bryan catapulted to fame when she<br />

was cast as “Dorinda” in the Disney Channel movie, The<br />

Cheetah Girls. The movie, debuting in August <strong>of</strong> 2003, broke<br />

the ratings record as the most successful Disney Channel<br />

movie in history at that time—its soundtrack alone sold 2<br />

million units. The second movie, The Cheetah Girls 2: When<br />

In Spain, was just as successful. Now, the girls are at it again<br />

with The Cheetah Girls 3 being released Summer 2008.<br />

Bryan, with her fellow Cheetah Girls, Adrienne Bailon and<br />

Kiely Williams, recently completed one <strong>of</strong> the top 10 most<br />

successful tours <strong>of</strong> 2006, selling out 87 dates and becoming one<br />

<strong>of</strong> the top five merchandise selling acts in history. To top that,<br />

the girls’ latest album “TCG” was released this September.<br />

Winter 2008 ❚ <strong>Anaheim</strong>


B<br />

ut, being a Cheetah Girl isn’t Bryan’s<br />

only claim to fame. She recently starred<br />

on ABC’s hit show, Dancing with the<br />

Stars, in addition to working on a book<br />

and a youth fitness video. Oh, and we<br />

almost forgot to mention that she’s also<br />

currently in college! But this “girl-whodoes-it-all”<br />

hasn’t let fame completely<br />

overtake her schedule—making time<br />

for her hometown magazine.<br />

What made you want to be<br />

an entertainer?<br />

My older cousin was a dancer and I would visit<br />

her at the studio when I was little. I just loved<br />

to watch her dance, and I knew it was something<br />

that I wanted to do, so I went after it. I<br />

eventually talked with my parents and let them<br />

know that I was also interested in acting, and got<br />

into some extra work. By age 11, I had secured a<br />

role in the Hallmark musical, Mrs. Santa Claus,<br />

starring Angela Lansbury, and found my love for<br />

singing. So, I decided to pursue all <strong>of</strong> it—dancing,<br />

singing and acting. When I joined the Cheetah Girls, I was<br />

able to utilize all three <strong>of</strong> these passions.<br />

The Cheetah Girls have been quite successful.<br />

What do you like most about being part <strong>of</strong> such<br />

a well-known group?<br />

I love it! Most importantly, the Cheetah Girls provide a great<br />

message for girls—a message <strong>of</strong> girl empowerment. I also<br />

like how the movies have made girls excited about musicals.<br />

You’ve created your own fitness video, BYOU,<br />

that encourages young girls to be fit and healthy.<br />

What encouraged you to do this?<br />

I felt it was an awesome opportunity to get a strong message<br />

<strong>of</strong> girl empowerment and self-esteem to young girls. I heard<br />

a statistic that the average age for girls to start dieting is nine.<br />

I was completely upset by this fact and wanted to create a<br />

positive, “cool” way for kids to be fit. My message is that it’s<br />

not about being skinny, it’s about being healthy and comfortable<br />

in your own skin!<br />

You were recently on “Dancing with the Stars.”<br />

What was dancing with your partner, Mark, like?<br />

What did you learn from him?<br />

Mark was amazing. He’s a great teacher—he knows<br />

the ins and outs <strong>of</strong> every dance. He also taught me the<br />

origin <strong>of</strong> dances. I’m very thankful that I had such<br />

an accomplished partner.


You are very active in other aspects <strong>of</strong> your<br />

career right now, why did you take on such<br />

a time-consuming project?<br />

I love dancing, and Dancing with the Stars enabled me to learn<br />

how to dance in a different style. Also, my mom is a huge fan<br />

and I took her to watch the show. After the taping, I was<br />

automatically hooked. It was the perfect opportunity for me;<br />

I couldn’t pass it up.<br />

You are enthusiastic all the time, how do you stay<br />

so upbeat with such a busy schedule?<br />

I’m very blessed to have had the amazing opportunity to be<br />

on such a hit show, and was honored to be working with Mark.<br />

The busy schedule was a huge challenge, but I like challenges.<br />

I was always up to give them my best.<br />

What are your career goals?<br />

My ultimate dream is to own my own production company. I’d<br />

love to take good book ideas and turn them into films. I want<br />

to create films that spread positive messages <strong>of</strong> self-esteem.<br />

Who is your biggest idol?<br />

Gwen Stefani. No question. And she’s from <strong>Anaheim</strong>!<br />

I’ve always looked up to her—she is such an icon<br />

and a successful businesswoman. She has class, is a<br />

tremendously hard worker, and commits herself<br />

to every project she’s involved in. I love how she<br />

has kept her OC style and makes family a priority.<br />

She’s extremely down to earth. Los Angeles can<br />

jade you and I feel that OC makes you grounded.<br />

Like Gwen, I always want to be grounded.<br />

What high school did you attend?<br />

Esperanza High!<br />

We know you attend Chapman University.<br />

What are the challenges you have faced being in<br />

the lime light while also getting a college degree?<br />

It is very difficult and if I had a normal schedule, I would<br />

already have graduated. But, I don’t let that get me down. I have<br />

a mentor at Chapman who guides me through accomplishing<br />

my degree while maintaining a busy schedule.<br />

� 15<br />

What are your favorite places in <strong>Anaheim</strong>?<br />

I love going to Downtown Disney. It has a great theater and<br />

ESPN Zone is the best! Everyone in Downtown Disney seems<br />

to be happy and that makes me happy.<br />

What would you tell another local <strong>Anaheim</strong> kid<br />

who looks up to you and wants to pursue a career<br />

in the entertainment business?<br />

Perfect your craft. Practice, practice, practice. Whether I was<br />

dancing or playing soccer as a kid, I always practiced and<br />

took classes. Also, it is important to get yourself out there. If<br />

you want to act, join theater groups and gain stage experience.<br />

Most importantly, believe in yourself. Don’t let anyone<br />

discourage you! ❚<br />

‘Tis<br />

Season<br />

The<br />

<strong>of</strong><br />

Thanks<br />

In <strong>Anaheim</strong>, we have many things for which we can be<br />

thankful. This holiday season, <strong>Anaheim</strong> residents and<br />

businesses can show their gratitude by helping those<br />

who may be less fortunate. The <strong>Anaheim</strong> Community Services<br />

Department <strong>of</strong>fers the following suggestions:<br />

The Thanksgiving Food Basket Program provides Thanksgiving<br />

dinners for families in need to enjoy on this special<br />

holiday. The Thanksgiving baskets should contain the contents<br />

<strong>of</strong> a normal holiday dinner, including mashed potatoes<br />

and gravy, yams, green beans, cranberry sauce, stuffing,<br />

and a $20 gift certificate for a turkey. Pledges for food baskets<br />

can be made until November 16. Call the Downtown<br />

Community Center at (714) 765-4500.<br />

Similarly, the Holiday Adopt-A-Family Program allows you<br />

to help low-income parents provide gifts for their families.<br />

Adopting a family during the holidays is easier than you<br />

think and can be done within your own holiday budget.<br />

Food and new clothing for family members, as well as toys<br />

and gifts for the children, are all accepted. The last day to<br />

adopt a family is December 21. To participate, call the<br />

Ponderosa Park Family Resource Center at (714) 750-2826.<br />

back during the holidays. For the past 20 years, La Casa Garcia<br />

Restaurant and We Give Thanks, Inc., a nonpr<strong>of</strong>it charitable<br />

organization, has been serving Thanksgiving dinner to those<br />

in need. More than 15,000 people participate annually in<br />

what has become the largest Thanksgiving Day Dinner for<br />

the less fortunate in Orange County. This year’s We Give<br />

Thanks, Inc. 21st Annual Thanksgiving Dinner will take<br />

place at the Honda Center parking lot on November 22, from<br />

11 A.M. to 4 P.M. Visit www.wegivethanksfoundation.org for<br />

Just across Katella, the Angels’ Groundskeepers will hold<br />

their annual canned food drive Nov. 16-18. Fans have the opportunity<br />

to step to the plate at Angel Stadium <strong>of</strong> <strong>Anaheim</strong><br />

and swing for the fences. Donations <strong>of</strong> canned food items<br />

will be good for swings against a pitching machine. All proceeds<br />

from the Thanksgiving Drive benefit Second Harvest<br />

Food Bank <strong>of</strong> Orange County in the fight against hunger<br />

during the holiday season. For more information, please visit<br />

■ SMALL BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT ■<br />

Shoppers Delight in C<strong>of</strong>fee<br />

Beans and Designer Jeans<br />

Who said you can’t have your cake and eat it too? In<br />

this case, you can buy your jeans and c<strong>of</strong>fee, too! The<br />

unique Java Jean Bar is the brainchild <strong>of</strong> owner Michelle<br />

Macis, who wanted a place where customers can easily relax<br />

and enjoy good food and beverages, all while shopping for<br />

premium clothing.<br />

The recipient <strong>of</strong> the 2007 <strong>Anaheim</strong> Chamber <strong>of</strong> Commerce<br />

Best New Business Award, the Java Jean Bar opened in December<br />

2006, <strong>of</strong>fering a wide selection <strong>of</strong> designer jeans and<br />

clothing, and an equally diverse assortment <strong>of</strong> quality cuisine,<br />

c<strong>of</strong>fee and beer. “I wanted to step out <strong>of</strong> the box and be different,”<br />

said Macis. “At Nordstrom, they have the clothing and<br />

the c<strong>of</strong>fee separate. They don’t want to take the chance <strong>of</strong><br />

ruining the clothing. I wanted to make my customers feel as<br />

if they’re at home. I think the risk to the clothing is minimal<br />

and the payback is definitely worth it.”<br />

The slogan says it all: Taste it, wear it, live it. “Java Jean Bar is<br />

a look at fashion and food as a destination lifestyle,” says Macis.<br />

“You don’t have to go to a trendy district or to the beach—<br />

we have it here in <strong>Anaheim</strong>.”<br />

Java Jean Bar regularly hosts<br />

events and entertainment in the<br />

evening. Call (714) 685-0800<br />
