Of the healing and celebration of JlJe that .even(ual- Jy comes. And of the slap of cold, · hard reality once again. · A year ago today, at 5: 15 p.m., a man drove his brown 1961 Cadillac through a chain-link fence that sep- arated Santa Ana Avenue from about 30 preschoolers at the South- coast Earl hildhood Learnin Center. The car careened into the playground, ru·nning over children before smashing into a tree. 7Wo children, 3-year-cld Brandon Wiener and 4-year-old Sierra Soto, were killed. Police said the driver, Santq Ana resident Steven A1Jen Abrams, told them he did ii on pur- pose, with the spec!fic intent of "executing" innocent children.

It was the third annual Home and Garden Tour, which is ·put on by the school's foundation to raise money for academics. Home tourists . The home tour bases its success on attracting those who might be envious of the beautiful dwellings, or who have a desire to pick up some decorating ideas. Last year, the event raised nearly $40,000 -a number that was far surpassed this year. The sold-out tour brougnt in $40,000 in tickets sales alone, said Leonie Lumpkins, the tour chairwoman. Throw in the $22,000 in advertising revenue from the brochures, plus the proceeds from the raffle, and the event topped $60,000 before deducting expenses, she said.

Degree, a first-team All- Orange Empire Confe rence selection, batted .4~4 for the Pirates, setting a school sin- gle-season record. She also tied the school record with 35 runs scored and led the con- ferenC"P with 40 stolen bases. Degree was one of nine OEC players to make the 22- player squad. SCHEDULE PREPS ~ CONTINUED FROM 7 and a nasty a brasion on one.shoulder. Ne ither injwy aUected his ability to compete. Estanda boys basketball coach Rich Boyce said Friday he will know by May 12 lf he will take a similar position ai Edison 1-Jigh. Boyce said he was still pondering the move, which some believe is-only awaiting word from Edison about creating a teaching opening for Boyce. While one valued coachlng presence may be on the way out a t Estancia, another deserves praise for his work with the Eagles this spring. Doug Deats, who rescued the Cqsta Mesa High baseball program from a woeful state just a few years ago, is earning the respect of Pacific Coast 'League rivals for the competitiveness his Eagles have shown this season. Though a 6-5 nonleague loss to Brawley Monday dropped the · Eagles to 8-12, hall of their PCL losses were by a single run. The eight wins equal the combined total produced by the last two Estancia teams. Wblle tbe Corona del Mar High boys volleyball team's vi<!tory ~ the Santa Barbara Tournament of Champions boosted the Sea Kings into a tie for the No. 1 ranldng in CIF Svuthem Section Division I (with Marina and Irvine), Newport Harbor, which fell to CdM in three games Saturday al Santa Barbara High, catapuited itself from unranked to No. 4 in the Division I poll. To have not ranked Coach Dan Glenn's Sailors would have defied logic. since they've beaten top-10 teams Irvine, Mira Costa (No. 5), San Clemente (No. 7), Santa Margarita (No. 8) and Royal (No. 10). Should the Sailors upset CdM Friday, it would be the third time they would · have knocked off the ~o. 1 team in Division I. They previously posted wins over then-No. 1-ranked 1rvine and Mira Costa. The Sea Kings: however, appear more than capable of defending their newly earned top ranking. Coach Steve Conti's squad also seems be nt on avenging its 'Division I title match loss -to the Sailors -L1sl sprin~. ..,- ·. Newplrt Harbor High's C..
