S THE CITY CELEBRATES THE PAST AND

LOOKS TOWARD THE FUTURE, THE IM-PROVEMENT OF TRANSPORTATION MOBILITY

IN ANAHEIM AND THE REGION IS OF CRITI-CAL IMPORTANCE.

With that objective in mind, Anaheim is in the process ofdeveloping a Transit Master Plan that will develop a compre-hensive transit vision in response to the mobility needs ofAnaheim residents, businesses and visitors. The studywill define feeder routes to improve connectivity toAnaheim’s two Metrolink stations and lay out a planthat will help guide the development of transit projectsfor the next 25 years.

As part of the Transit Master Plan process, Anaheim isworking closely with the Orange County Transportation

Authority’s (OCTA) Go Local program which will specificallyrecommend a transit system to extend the reach of what willsoon be a frequent, all-day Metrolink train service throughoutthe County.

To learn the latest information on the Transit Master Plan, orto find out how you can participate, please call (800) 577-8601,or visit www.anaheim.net and click on Go Local. ❚

The state-of-the-art hangar will function as home base forthe air fleet, and will facilitate all air support operations.

“Helicopters are the equivalent to more than 20 officers onthe street,” said Anaheim Police Chief John Welter. “Anaheimis one of the few cities in the county that has an Air Supportprogram actively working to deter criminal activity in our com-munity, as well as lending support to other county agencies.”

The Anaheim Police Department helicopter detail beganserving the City in 1970. Since its inception, there have beenmore than 30 police officers who have earned their wings andcontributed to the detail’s colorful history.

The helicopter detail began service with six pilots and aHughes 300, a small two-seat helicopter with a top speed of100 mph. Its original objective was to provide command andcontrol to the ground officers below.

Nearly four decades later, the helicopters and equipmenthave improved but the primary mission has remained the same.The fleet boasts an impressive array of aviation vehicles withthree jet-powered helicopters, outfitted with the latest avion-ics to help navigate through congested Southern Californiaairspace. Each helicopter is also equipped with an infra redcamera and a high powered spotlight. Such equipment allowsthe crew improved vision at night.

n his day job, he’s saving the world; but in his free time,this Anaheim-born star would rather kick-back and enjoyan Angels or Ducks game, restore vintage muscle cars or

work with his best friend at their production company.Meet Milo Ventimiglia, also known as Peter Petrelli, star of

NBC’s new hit show, Heroes. Heroes follows the lives of ordi-nary people who discover they possess extraordinary abilities.“Their ultimate destiny is nothing less than saving the world…”

Milo’s character, Peter, has the ability to mimic other heroes’powers, making him one of the most central and dynamiccharacters on the show.

The brainchild of creator/writer Tim Kring, Heroes receivedprofuse critical acclaim with a People’s Choice Award, an AFIAward and a Multicultural Prism Award. The show has alsobeen nominated for a Golden Globe Award, NAACP ImageAward, WGA Award and Satellite Award.

In addition to Heroes, Milo has an impressive body of workthat encompasses film and television. Some of his previousroles include playing “Jess” on “Gilmore Girls” and SylvesterStallone’s son in “Rocky Balboa.”

Despite his heroic schedule, Milo was able to take a fewmoments with Anaheim Magazine:

O N T H E S H O W A N D H I S C A R E E R

Anaheim Magazine: What about Heroes makes it sucha big hit?

Milo Ventimiglia: The thing about Heroes is that it is rela-tive to a lot of different people. It’s something that a teenagerand an 88-year-old grandmother can enjoy. The show has verydiverse characters that appeal to a wide-variety of people.

AM: (So the question everyone is dying to know, but I’msure you’ve been asked a million times) On Heroes, you havemany different super powers, if there was one you could havein “real-life” what would it be?

Milo: The ability to dodge that question when asked (laughs).No, really, being able to fly would be a great “super power,”but if I could have any realistic power, it would be the power of

persuasion. With the power of persuasion, anyone can changethe world and give back. It’s an interesting thought—persua-sive people have the ability to start wars or end wars. A lot ofpublic figures can misbehave because of their power of per-suasion, but they also have a lot of power to do good. Theymust use it to do more good.

AM: Has being on the show changed your lifestyle at all?

Milo: Not necessarily. It really wasn’t until this year that I’vebecome “above the radar.” A couple more people recognizeme, but it’s about the same.

AM: How was working with Sylvester Stallone in Rocky Balboa?

Milo: I was blown away. He is introspective and intelligent.I had a great time.

O N L I F E

AM: What first attracted you to acting? At what age did youseriously start pursuing it as a career?

Milo: As a kid, I always liked to entertain. I liked the idea ofbeing able to make someone laugh, and being able to makethat same person cry. I got seriously into the profession at 18,which is when and why I moved up to Los Angeles.

AM: We heard that you attended UCLA; what did you study?

Milo: Theatre. But, if I were to go back, I’d study engineeringor architecture and learn something that I don’t know any-thing about—something totally different and interesting.


NBC’s Heroes Simone Deveaux (Tawny Cypress) and Peter Petrelli (Milo Ventimiglia).

e Pat

ton

AM: So you’re already in a hit show and a blockbuster movie,what’s your next goal?

Milo: I haven’t done a quarter of what I want to do. I’mhappy and I want to continue in the direction I’m going. I’monly 29 and have so much ahead of me. Each year, thingshave gotten more difficult and better at the same time. Withmore work comes more success. Because I’m now in the pub-lic’s eye more than ever, I have to keep level headed. Ultimately,I hope to continue to get good work.

AM: Who would be the ideal actor to work with?

Milo: That’s a hard one. I look at guys just a few years olderthan me, like Joaquin Phoenix, Christian Bale, Colin Farrell,and they are all doing great work. There are so many goodactors out there. I can’t name one, it would be an injustice toso many others.

AM: What’s your definition of a real-life hero?

Milo: Real-life heroes touch the next generation through hero-ic events and actions. True heroes pass on to the next gener-ation knowledge of what they’ve been through and what theyhave done. They share the better side of life.

AM: Who are your heroes?

Milo: My family, parents, friends. Soldiers in Iraq. The guy thattakes care of me at a restaurant. No, Seriously. We’re all inthis world together, interacting and affecting one another.Heroes are the people who leave it [the world] a better place.

O N A N A H E I M / O R A N G E C O U N T Y

AM:What’s your favorite part of growing up in Orange County?

Milo: I was born in Anaheim, but grew up in Orange. Livingfive towns from the beach was great. Orange County was myfoundation; it is a great place to grow up. It is a very nurturingand protective place, but not too separated from the realitiesof the world.

AM: What are your favorite places in Anaheim?

Milo: Angels games at Angel Stadium and going to othersporting events such as Ducks games at Honda Center. I grewup as an Angels fan going to games with my family. Baseballgames are a time to be social, without dealing with people whoare too loud or rambunctious.

AM: What high school did you attend?

Milo: El Modena High School in Orange, class of 1995.

O N L I F E R I G H T N O W

AM: What’s life like now; what are you doing besides Heroes?

Milo: I’m very busy with three jobs. I have a productioncompany with my best friend, called Divide. It keeps me busywhen I’m not acting. We do film, TV and some commercials.I’m also doing a new feature film (cannot release name yet)and of course, filming Heroes. Life is good. ❚

The cost to hire a contractor to clean the ramp areas rangesfrom $250 to $500 per month, but the ability to support theAnaheim community and keep Anaheim a fresh and cleanplace to live and drive, is invaluable.

The $383.5 million will be distributed amongst the follow-ing five projects:

■ $200 million: Building carpool connectorsfrom the Garden Grove (22) Freeway tothe San Diego (I-405) and San GabrielRiver (I-605) freeways.

■ $70 million: Adding a northboundlane on the Orange Freeway (57)between the Riverside Freeway(91) and Lambert Road.
