DANEm Gouurr are a part of a restoration project that began five years ago when the Fairview Park Citizen's Advisory Committee and the California Native Plant Society aeated a pilot restoration program on a quater-acre lot of the park. curmes NEWPORT·MESA -A project that was expected to take two days, took only two hours on Saturday with the help of 110 student volunteers Crom Newport Harbor High School. The students planted more than 350 trees and shrubs on a two· to three.acre site in Fairview Park. It was the first al two shipments total· ing 770 plants planned for the site this year. The second shipment will be coming in this weekend. Jan Vandersloot. the Newport Beach resident spearheading the project, said he expected the planti- ng to take two full weekends. The 200-acre park has since been largely dedicated to open space and restoration by the Costa Mesa City Council. In 1997 the City Council developed a master plan that calls for the restoration of 100 acres of the park west of Placentia Road. The area is slated for coastal bluff scrub, native grasslands, alluvial scrub and riparian habitat. "This place was swarming with kids,• he said of Satwday's efforts. "Then after that all we had to do was put collars on yie plants to protect them Over the past five years volun- teers have cared for the pilot restora- tion area adding plants each year, weeding, hydro seeding and, most recently, adding inigation. This year, Vandrusloot said, the city of Costa Mesa paid $14,040 to install abovei1found irrigation pip- ing and $2,500 for plants. from ground squirrels and rabbits." • Except for a smattering o( Boy • Scouts and elderly citizens, the majority of the volunteers were sci- ence students from the Da Vmd Academy of Newport Harbor, who were awarded extra credit toward their final grade for helping out. Vandersloot attributes the decay of the land to over-farming, then neglect and finally to the fire department's annual mowing to prevent fires. "We get five points for every hour,• said 15-year-old Blake Han- ley, who returned on Sunday with Callow student Cnad Rorden in tow. •we both have A's, but just in case, it could be a pretty hard final." "There's not much left in our area of natural environment,. said volun- teer Janet Remington. •So anything we can save is precious.• Only a few dedicated volunteers, including Vandersloot, braved Sun- day's chilly weather to weed and check on the new plants.

We need look no further than the boundaries of our own communities to find recent immigrants struggling to raise a large family on $10,000 a year. Nor do we need to look far to find some of the wealthi· est people in the state. Our school dlslrict is asked to meet the needs of both ends of the spectrum, plus everytlung m between. Some people bold the . perception the schools with the haves are more likely to ~et the resources they need. This perception may have an effect on the pas- sage of a bond measure, so it is time to get it out in the open. Since the haves are much more likely to vote than the have nots, maybe a bond will pass if they think the money will improve their schools at a greater rate. Maybe the schools with the have nots will ask what will be done to ensure money will be used to fix their facilities. Three years ago, olass- size reduction affected grades one through three; that was th~ year the dis· lrict needed more elemen- tary school space, and they needed it fast. Since some schools already had a lot of portable classrooms, there would be no playground space if more portables were added. It was decided m the late spring two for- mer middle schools that were being used for .other purposes would open as large elementary schools in the fall. Money from the sale of property at Costa Mesa High School would finance the reoperung. Those two schools opened in the fall 1997. Davis School opened with 657 students at a final cost of $1.5 million. Rea School ZAHER FALL.AHi, CPA 28 yrs. exp. Acctg., Audits, Taxes 15% discount to CM Residcnu (714) 546-4272 EDUCATIONALLY SPEAKING . gayd I geiser:son ovo opened with 421 students for $2.3 million. It now houses 670 students in grades four through six. Davis School, which now houses students in grades four to six, has an enroll· ment of about 865 kids. So, two schools, which house a total of 1,535 students, were revamped for $3.8 million. When it was decided Rea School would be converted to an elementary school, the tenants who were at the site were told they needed to move in a few months. Some with special hard- ships remained for the first year Rea was used as an elementary school. Contrast this with the !eopening of Eastbluff School. When it was determined that Eastbluff would reopen, a private elemen- tary school was leasing the facility. Instead of giving the private school a year to find a new site, and then revamping the school in the summer months, which was the time spent on Davis and Rea, the district moved the private school to a dif- ferent district site and spent more bucks to make the private school happy. They spent a year with an empty campus on the revamping process. Eastbluff got a major overhaul for its 256 stu· dents. The original price tag was $3.5 million. The - money was to come solely from Mello-Roos funds, which cannot be used for schools outside of its boundaries. In addition to Eastbluff, money from Mel- lo-Roos was to be used for projects at Corona del Mar High. The pro1ects were designated and a rough price, which would come within the amount avail- able from Mello-Roos, was determined. Sometime between the planning stage and the completion stage, prices increased for the· Eastbluff project. At that time, the school board had three choices. First, they could have scaled down the pro- ject and revamped the school for the amount origi- nally allocated. Second, they could have reallocated all of the Mello·Roos mon- ey to the Eastbluff project, and put oU the projects at Corona del Mar High until a later time. Thud, they could have revamped Eastbluff School to the tune of $5.4 million and count- ing, as well as spend $1.6 million at Corona del Mar. The school board chose the third option. The school board's explanation for the differ- ence in price·and scope of the reopening of Davis and Rea versus Eastbluff is that we got a new superinten- dent whose philosophy is to do things nght. The school board's explanation for giv- ing funds to Corona del Mar High for the items that were once to be paid for with Mello-Roos funds was that those items bad been promised to the school. and it wouldn't be right to back out on them. Those are valid reasons. My concern with a large amount of bond money is that we might start on some schools, and decide to • •do them up right," leaving the last schools without any ds. The Citizens Facili- ties Committee has some recommendations to keep that from happerung. I would like to see those guarantees 10 place to ensure schools get facilities that aren't dJstingwshable by their address. I was glad to see a prominent l.ocaJ otizen gave $60,000 to help four local elementary schools. r bet you can't guess which of the elementary schools listed above will receive a portion of the funds. Here is hoping he will make a similar donation to the Newport-Mesa Schools Foundation, or some of the other district schools that haven't seen that much money in their entire fund- raising history. Newport Beach made the front page in a story with regard to students who may be taking advan- tage of the SAT testing process by having the school label them as need- ing a special accommoda- tion. They then have unlim- i,ted time to take a three- J\our test. which is Used by colleges as an inchcia for admission. So, when you are factoring the results of our local schools with respect to average SAT scores, don't give the teachers all of the credit. While some schools have a number of kids who don't speak English as their first ·language taking the test in three hours, they are not the only ones causing the disparity. Know that one of our • distnct schools was named in the top five public high schools in Southern Califor- nia with the highest per- centage of students receiv- ing special accommoda- tions on the SAT. · • GAY GEISER·SANOOYAL is a Costa Mesa resident.

Recognizing the impor- t~ce of fostering the partner- ship, Israel has pledged up to $70 million toward the pro- gram. When the program offi- cially launches nationwide in 2001 the budge\ will be $210· million, Lewis said. some cities chosen for the pilot program this summer include: Atlanta; St. Louis; Lowsville, Ky; Peoria, Ill.; and Stamford, Conn. Lewis said support for the trips from the Jewish commu- nity in the county over the past· five years was one rea- son for its selection. "Educationally, a trip to Israel is e xtre.mely unpor- tant," Lewis said. "Teen s who go to Israel come back with a stronger Jewish iden- tity, which in tum, translates into stronger ties in the com- munity.• Lewis said an average trip to Israel may cost up to $5,500. He said $500 for most families makes a big differ- ence. Current 10th-and ttth- graders are eligible for the $500 stipend towarQ the cost of recognized teen summer travel programs.

The students are acutely aware that when they move out or the comfort of their four classroom walls, the world can be an unforgiving place. Even at their school, students still . fall into groups based on race, interests and popularity. The cliques are clearly defined and crossover is minimal. •People 'with the same tastes group together,• said . student Jordan Turner, adding that recently a stranger tried to join his group and was swiftly kiclced out.
