The children in the Jelinski-Ali Family were among the more than 700 children who attended the City of Signal Hill's Oct. 29 harvest festival, which offered games, contests, music, a petting zoo and candy. Signal Hill Civil Service Commissioner Steve Strichart, a retired Long Beach police officer, gives a cupcake to 7-year-old Signal Hill resident Emmanuel Alvarez, who dressed as a police officer for the occasion.
