This week, the Fullerton City Council was expected to sign a memorandum of understanding, or MOU, with the Korea Trade-Investment Promotion Agency, a Korean nonprofit group that fosters trade between U.S. and Korean businesses, according to the O.C. Register.
The 2010 U.S. Census shows Fullerton is home to 15,500 residents with Korean ethnicity, 11.5 percent of the city’s population. The City of Fullerton predicts that by 2015 Asians will make up over 21% of their local population.
While Korean businessmen are making headway in Fullerton, the community has not found electoral success. City Commissioner Roland Chi ran for the City Council in 2010, garnering just over 9,000 votes, but he lost to Bruce Whitaker, who is now the Mayor of Fullerton, by about 2,500 votes, according to Smart Voter.
Chi was dogged throughout the race by allegations that he was a carpetbagger and that a supermarket he owns, in Garden Grove, poisoned eleven customers. A website launched against him, called Bad Chi, also linked to these negative articles about Chi: Continue reading

Fullerton PD’s Other Dirty-Cop Case
Will a jury signal to cops it’s wrong to harass citizens videotaping their actions?
In Orange County, one outcome is as sure as a 5 p.m. traffic jam on the 5, 91, 55, 22, 57 and 405, Republican control of the Newport Beach city council, and a grotesque sewer spill at Doheny State Beach: Some cops are going to falsify official reports to frame innocent citizens.
I long ago stopped counting the number of times officers have been caught lying by irrefutable evidence and then, as if the corruption is a badge of honor, climb in rank in their various police agencies. Sometimes such a case involves simply omitting exculpatory facts from reports. For example, in 2009 a South County housewife who had led a crime-free life found her world turned upside down when a deputy arrested her for shoplifting a $100 jar of face cream. The cop didn’t report that a store surveillance recording he had watched had disproved the crime. Continue reading

80 years ago, officials deported hundreds of Fullerton residents—and Orange County has tried to forget ever since
By GUSTAVO ARELLANO Thursday, Apr 11 2013
Decades later, long after federal authorities deported the last of her students, Arletta Kelly still remembered the cactus.
In the 1920s and 1930s, Kelly had worked as an Americanization teacher in the citrus camps of Orange County, tasked with schooling Mexican immigrants in the art of good citizenship. During the day, she taught women how to sew and cook American meals like casseroles and pies; at night, the Michigan native recited basic English phrases before audiences of men so that they could use them at work. She bounced across the colonias (worker colonies) of North County, from La Habra to Placentia, Anaheim to Fullerton. But Kelly eventually spent most of her time with the Mexicans of the Bastanchury Ranch, 6,000 rolling acres of what now constitutes the exclusive neighborhoods of northwest Fullerton—Sunny Hills, Valencia Mesa and others—and parts of Brea and La Habra, an area that to this day, with its winding roads, visible horse stables, dramatic valleys and stretches of untouched California landscape, feels rustic, beautiful and foreboding.
