Park Gets a Facelift as Inglewood
Puts Its City Dollars to Work
By Haleemon Anderson
The revitalization of Ash Park was the talk
during Tuesday’s meeting, as the Inglewood
City Council took pride in reopening the park
with a grand celebration on the weekend. The
park sits in Councilmember Eloy Morales’
District 3. And in fact, it was Morales who
kept the rundown park on the local radar,
according to Mayor James T. Butts. “Eloy
has been talking to me about this park for
a long time,” he said.
The park holds special significance for
Morales, who grew up playing there. He
says he remembers when fences went up
to discourage gang activity. Morales said a
neighborhood committee recruited volunteers
to spearhead the renovations. He said District
3 Council Assistant Jaime Guttierez took the
project personally. “We both grew up at that
park,” said Morales.
Formally known as Ashwood Park, the remodeled
area is bordered by the 405 freeway
to the west. It sits on Ash Street, between
Lime and Nectarine, just two blocks south of
Manchester Boulevard. The park now features
new tennis and basketball courts, exercise
machines, a walking path and a splash pad.
Morales thanked everyone involved in the
renovation. “Without the Council, it wouldn’t
have happened,” he said.
Butts thought the change was remarkable,
noting the park in the ‘80s had become a
haven for gang activity. “To come to a point
in our evolution where we can spend $1.6
million renovating a park, to celebrate that
change is amazing,” he said. “[Eloy] is fortunate
to have his parents there to see all he is
accomplishing in the neighborhood he grew
up in. And it was nice to see people from
the community there to celebrate government
working for them and their children.”
A public hearing opened on granting tow
referral permits. Lieutenant Heard provided
a staff report, citing that both B & H Inglewood
Tow and Bryant’s Inglewood Service
had passed background checks.
Public comment included an advisory
that B & H Towing be held to the referral
process, as there have been problems with
the company not following procedures in the
lien process and further litigation when a

Wiseburn Board Tables Soccer
Field Financing, Gets Dana Update
By Duane Plank
As the 2018/19 school-year calendar winds
down, the Wiseburn School Board met last
Thursday night and viewed the annual presentation
from Dana Middle School. It also
again tabled a proposed financing plan for
the Wiseburn High School soccer field -- a
project that has lagged because of unforeseen
construction site circumstances, electrical
issues, cost overruns, soil degradation and
underlying underground pipe issues.
Wiseburn Unified School District Superintendent
Dr. Blake Silvers noted prior to
the meeting, “You get to the point where
you are out of money and then you need
to build the soccer field.” He pointed out
that it was a “perfect-storm” of issues that
led to the delay of the field construction.
Silvers said the approximate timeline for
the field being ready for play would be to
have soccer players on the pitch, hopefully
for the 2019/2020 prep soccer season. The
School Board could potentially give its
blessing to the field financing plan at the
May 30 meeting.
The Dana Middle School presentation
focused on revamping a campus advisory
program that had been labeled TLC (Targeted
Learning of Content) but has since been
rebranded as POD. Dana Assistant Principal
Lisa Wilberg and her team of teachers
Jessica Aguilar, Barry Williams and Aimee
Glotz explained to the Board the evolution
of the POD program and how it is helping
reach middle school students and enrich their
campus learning experiences.
Wilburg emailed that that program was
dubbed POD because the Dana students are
“dolphins” and that “dolphins swim in pods
in the wild, and we wanted this class to be
like a student’s family at school -- a place
of positive support.” Students meet with staff
for 45 minutes each school day.
The Dana administrators felt that the
TLC program had hit a stalemate, with
rebranding and new practices a necessity
because students were drifting from established
Dana “signature practices.” There was
diminished “school connectedness” and the
“overcoming of disparate activities” that left
all involved feeling unsuccessful and in need
of fresh ideas.
The POD program is in place to implement
the signature practices, including personalizing
the middle school experience; and developing
and strengthening student ownership of behavior
as well as their ownership of learning.
The presenters spoke of the success in
the program in building connectedness;
and POD competitions, including the success
of Literacy Week and spirited math
competitions as well as POD sessions
stressing bullying prevention. The 15-minute
presentation ended with slides portraying
teacher-participant satisfaction with the
nascent program, including a seventh grade
teacher who opined, “I like PODS 20/20 &
Flex structure…We use flex-time for bonding
as well, but if students need time to meet
their goals, we have the student ownership
of the learning option too.”
