Slug is a screech owl who was shot through the right shoulder and eye. Alice is an American kestrel fal- con whose tree was put through a wood chipper -while she was in it. Athena is a great homed owl who was hit by a car. Isis, a red-tailed hawk, and J.R., a Harris hawk, were both stolen from their nests when they were young and illegally raised by people. Such actions have made the birds helpless without hwnans, because : School lunch they never learned to hunt -a skill that would have been taught by the birds' parents. None of these magnificent birds of prey, which were born to soar and hunt, can survive in the wild any longer. They are now cared for by the Orange County Bird of Prey Center and act as educational tools. Dave Raetz is an educator with the inside the Outdoors program at the Orange Country Department of Education who works with the cen- ter. While they train and care for the birds, he acts as a handler and edu- cator. He brought the five birds to the school to teach children about them.

Tuesc:Jdt, Februory '6, 2001 3· Sometimes, friends' turn ON THE PROWL up at an awkward moment 0 nee upon a time, there was a very nice restaurant in Long Beach called the Anny-Navy Club. Where it got it.a name I do not know because it was open to the public. The dub was located on the bluff along Ocean Boulevard, but the restau- rant itself was at sea level. 1'\ners entered at the Ocean Boulevard level and went down a very romantic, curved stairway to the restaurant. I was wooing a young lady named Katy Harris, who eventually, in spite of the following harrowing sto- ry, became Katy Gardner. l was at that time the city 1udge of Newport Beach. 1\vo of my more regular vis- itors were a couple of high- spirited, hard-drinking fish- ermen, Rebel Brown and Jiggs Dyson, suspects in the manhole-cover caper I wrote about Jan. 9. On this particular everung, my plan was to impress Miss Hams by tak- ing her lo the Army-Navy Club for dinner. So there 1 was, desper- ately putting my best fool forward when suddenly Robert Gordner THE VERDta there was a commotion al the head of the stairs. I looked up and almost died,_ It was Jiggs Dyson and Rebel Brown, drunk as all get out. The entire management was doing its best to keep them out, but management was losing. Rebel bad one arm in a cast and already rendered noncombatant a couple of waiters with the use of the cast. All eyes were focused on these two characters. Suddenly they ceased their program of knodung members of the staff down the stairway. Rebel hap- pened to see me. •Judge I" he shouted rapturously. The restaurant staff apparenOy figured they were friends of mine because they gave up their resistance, and Rebel and Jiggs ran over, sat down at our table and Jlggs, in a loud voice, said, •champagne, the best you have." Since l knew he probably didn't have a penny in his pocket, I tried to catch the eye of the waiter with a vig- or<>tt5 shake of my head. The waiter, sensing a good- sized check and resulting tip, ignored me entirely and went into a huddle with 'Jiggs over the wine list. I don't remember exactly what happened. Traumatic retrograde amnesia it's called , but l do remember that Katy said, ·1 hnd yow friends fascinating. I was afraid you were a little stuffy. but with fnends bke that .. ." So although the evemng put me into bankruptcy, it made browrue points with Katy, and 1 guess I shouldn't begrudge Rebel and Jiggs their unexpected visit. · • ROBERT GARONER is a Corona del Mar resident and a former judge.

In my years of attending board meetings, it is my condusion that m ost of the time a teacher's request for use of classroom materials is approved without comment unless the book contains words about evolution or sex. Should the boa.rd adopt a iero- tolerance policy against books that talk about evolution or sex? Does reading a book that IS part of a class assignment mean students will automatically act 1t out? I certam- ly haven't found that to be the case will} books that conlal.n nonsexuaJ subject matter. In tustory classes, my students have read about wars, brutality and nuclear bomb drops. They have felt no com- punction to recreate any of these SJtu- atioflS. Reading about concentration camps did not make them want to be the guard or the prisoner Even my attempts to thrust cookbooks rn front of their faces have not produced a gourmet dinner. 1 If all it took to push kids into action was to read a book, teachers and par- ents would be having kids read about the cure for disease or the 1oys of cleaning tjleir roorris. Reproduction IS one of the basic drives of all speoes, and lil humans it requires sex. High school is the time when that dnve kicks in. But a lot of teenagers who don 't read a thing have sex. A lot of the best student readers, even those who read books with sexual content, have never had sex. Hig h school bookwonns rarely have Don Juan reput.atioflS. High school stud ents know a class- room assignment that includes read- ing a book with some sexual content does not require further field study. But should there be a 7.er'O-toler- ance policy against books with sex in them in order to preserve our stu- dents' innocence? Unless a student has opted out of sex education talks, an 11th-or 12th- grader already has heard or read about sex at school. Even if the stu- dent lived in a bubble and had no exposure to television, movies or other printed materl41 outside ol school, he or she wouJd know about sex from bealth clas.s.

Tonight begins the first of two final-week PCL double headers, with the girls tipping off at 5:30 and the boys scheduled to follow at 7. The girls will also begin the first of two varsity games Thursday. The f_inal-week anomaly was cre- ated by league offioals, in order to leave Fritlay open for potential tiebreaker games, should the need arise. All leagues are required to submit which teams will represent them in the CIF Southern Section playoffs to the section office by Sat- urday morning. In the boys race, University enters with a one-game lead over Costa Mesa and Northwood, while CdM and Estancia enter two games back. Mathematically, a five-way finish for first place in possible. ln addition to battling for one of the league's three guaranteed berths, CdM and Estancia, with 10 and nine wins, respectively, are gunning for the 11-win plateau that will ebSure teams at least an at- large berth into the postseason.
