Ceramics Display at the Buena Park Library District
Ceramics created by local artist Yoojin Kim are now on display at the Buena Park Library District. Over a dozen of her fantastic creations are on display in the lobby now through the end of December 2005. The Buena Park Library District is located at 7150 La Palma Avenue in Buena Park, between Knott and Western Avenues.
Ms. Kim studied ceramics at California State University Sonoma and had a studio for several years. This is her first public exhibition. Ms. Kim stated that we live in a fast-paced world and we often don’t think about what we are doing. "It is important to stop and think. Art serves as a vehicle to do that." Ms. Kim stated that when she was younger, she felt she had no direction. "Art gave me a way to express my feelings." She hopes that other young people might be drawn to art as a means to find direction and expression in their lives.
Many of her pieces are humorous, but upon further reflection and study, an underlying pain is perceived. One piece, "Confussion I", was the result of a blind date set up by her mother. The artist thought her date was unattractive, yet had to deal with the pain and confusion of his rejection.
Stop by the Buena Park Library District and take some time to examine the works of thoughtful and sensitive artist. The Buena Park Library is open Mondays through Thursdays, 10:00 a.m. – 8:00 p.m. and Fridays and Saturdays, 10:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. For information, please call the Reference Desk at 714-826-4100, ext. 125.

The guide’s straightforward language and user-friendly feel are the result of a community-driven design and editing process.

Downloadable versions of the Easy Voter Guide and a wide range of nonpartisan voter education tools are available here or at www.easyvoter.org in English, Spanish, Chinese, Vietnamese and Korean.

Community News -- OperationOC and Katrina Relief
Press Release from the Orange County Rescue Mission
Chairman of the Orange County Board of Supervisors Bill Campbell, Orange County Sheriff Mike Carona, County Superintendent of Schools William Habermehl, South Orange County Community College Chancellor Raghu P. Mathur, and Orange County Rescue Mission President Jim Palmer, have joined forces as the Co-Chairman of OperationOC. Co-Chairman Palmer believes that OperationOC is especially positioned to lead a campaign to challenge churches, faith-based organizations, shelters, and other service providers in Orange County to get involved in long-term care and strategies needed to help the first 100 families who have been displaced by Hurricane Katrina arrive in Orange County.
As of September 6th, OperationOC is launching a $2.6 million campaign to rescue the victims of Hurricane Katrina, in partnership with dozens of Orange County public and private organizations, city government, churches, service clubs and private individuals.
Already, an Operation OC advance team is in Amarillo and Dallas, Texas, connecting with potential families who would be traveling to Orange County for assistance.
The critical challenge, beyond the immediate need for housing, food, and water, will be to reduce the further risk of disaster in these victim’s lives, by responding with long-term transitional housing and life needs, ongoing food, clothing, healthcare, job opportunities and mental health services.
To help expedite the availability of housing, the Orange County Rescue Mission will be accelerating the completion of the residential section of their nationally recognized, comprehensive Village of Hope project on Tustin Legacy, the former Tustin Marine Corps Air Base. The Village of Hope will still need to complete their vocational classrooms, medical clinic, dining facility, child development center, offices, warehouse and parking. Because of this need, OperationOC partner, Bob Kopecky, provost of Advanced Technology & Education Park of the South Orange County Community College District, has agreed that they will provide the use of their nearby dining facility and parking. Additionally, OperationOC is looking for sponsors to provide two and three bedroom apartments for displaced Hurricane Katrina families. The Orange County Rescue Mission, Second Harvest Food Bank, Infolink Orange County 2-1-1, County of Orange, Orange County Sheriffs Department, HomeAid Orange County, Calvary Church of Santa Ana, have all joined OperationOC as partners, and will be assisting in the provision of food and supplies.
OperationOC is prepared to immediately utilize the time-tested Strong Beginnings program, the Orange County Rescue Mission’s strategic, case-management based outreach program which provides long-term solutions to permanent housing for homeless families living in poverty motels.
Strong Beginnings, through the assistance of the Children and Families Commission of Orange County, has had great success in helping hundreds of Orange County families end homelessness and is prepared to apply the same three-tiered process of prevention/emergency assistance, stabilization and transition to bring hope to at least 100 families who have faced tragedy and loss because of Hurricane Katrina.
It is the intent of OperationOC to challenge Orange County public and private organizations, churches, service clubs and individuals to pool their resources and join them in the effort to respond to the needs of the victims of Hurricane Katrina. Please contact OperationOC at 1-800-956-1613 (California Only)

Businesses are Super Heroes for Summer Reading Programs
The Buena Park Library District’s Annual Summer Reading Program ends Saturday, August 27th, 2005 and with it its two clubs will also close - "Super Readers = Super Heroes" for children ages 2-12 and the teen’s "Unleash Your Power / Read." The last day of reading program festivities will be from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. outside the Library and will include a variety of games and events to celebrate another successful summer reading program year (chalkdrawing, cakewalks, ring and beanbag tosses, faces painting, etc.) and children who participated in the reading program can earn other incentive prizes just by showing up. Children and teens will also be able to turn in a completed program opportunity ticket for next week’s selection of Knott’s Berry Farm Theme Park passes. We will also be sharing a new friend with our community – the La Palma Intercommunity Hospital … so stop by their table to say hello and see what they can do for you.
Both summer reading clubs were generously sponsored by the Volunteer Guild of the Buena Park Library. The Volunteer Guild raised the monies needed to sponsor most of this summer’s special events, and funded all the printing and the incentive prizes for the children and teens through rapid book and membership sales. Many thanks to the hard working Guild volunteers!
In addition, the Buena Park Library thanks this year's other Summer Reading Program sponsors. First, a big thanks to the Metropolitan Cooperative Library System for developing and printing the decorative bags, book logs, bookmarks and posters used to celebrate both the children’s and teens programs.

Both summer reading clubs were generously sponsored by the Volunteer Guild of the Buena Park Library. The Volunteer Guild raised the monies needed to sponsor most of this summer’s special events, and funded all the printing and the incentive prizes for the children and teens through rapid book and membership sales. Many thanks to the hard working Guild volunteers!
In addition, the Buena Park Library thanks this year's other Summer Reading Program sponsors. First, a big thanks to the Metropolitan Cooperative Library System for developing and printing the decorative bags, book logs, bookmarks and posters used to celebrate both the children’s and teens programs.
