Almost a dozen residents encour- aged the council to seek options such as incentive programs, talking to store representatives and fining stores for abandoned carts before agreeing to spend up to $7 ,000 per month. The council did not go as far as to endorse a boycott but did vote unan- imously to solicit a company to pick up abandoned carts while working with members of the community and store managers to resolve the prob- lem. Assistant City Manager Donald Lamm explained that in 1998 a state law was passed prohibiting the city from charging grocers for the cost of retrieving shopping carts.

Paul Olnton DAILY PILOT UPPER NEWPORT BAY -The Irvine Ranch -,Nater District is one step away from in~talling a filtering system of man- made wetlands in San Diego Creek. District officials hope to get the green light to move ahead with the project from Gov. Gray Davis, who is the final obstacle. The project is part of a bill proposed by Ass~mblyman John campbell {R- lrvine) that passed the Legislature on Monday and made its way to Davis' desk. Campbell's bill, known as Assembly Bill 810, would allow the district to acquire land in the watershed to install the wetlands. It blew through the Assembly on Monday on a 71-0 vote. District General Manager Paul D. Jones Il said he was happy to hear about the bill's success. The district has already created wetlands on its own property, known as the San JQaquin Marsh. "The Natural lteatment System is a cost-effective, environmentally sound alternative for handling dry weather runoff,• Jones said in a statement •1t takes our program of successfully clean- ing urban runoff at the San Joaquin Marsh and applies it to benefit the entire watershed." The bill first passed the Assembly. An amended version of it passed the Senate earlier this year. At that time, the Rancho Santa Margarita Water District was added to the bill s0 it could implement a similar system. · lb.e bill has been the closest thing to a slam dunk so far, with only one assem- blyman opposing it in its history. It WU introduced earlier this year. Once Davis receives the bill. whic:b ii expected to happen today, be bu 12 ~ enda.r days to act on it.

A few days before, my neighbor put up a chain link fence between our houses. I said to the fellow erecting it, Marty Kordick, that it made the yard loolt like a prison exercise yard. I thought about various things I could plant to soft- en the effect. but while I was thtnlring, Marty was acting. He painted the fence green, but while Marty WU 1triving to make the world a more gradous piece to which to live, he neglected to tell the dog about wet paint. She very cvefully placed her face agaimt the newly painted fence. Re1ult - a dog with a green face. · PLUG IN ' DalfYi Pilot Rest.dent Chris Eric sug- gested an incentive program to get the outs back to their stores. •If a kid ~w a cart on the street and knew he would get some casJi to return it, I guarantee there would be no more carts on the street,• he said. .

The association is inviting community members to donate all or part of the federal tax rebate they will soon be receiving to the new PTSA Teacher Mini-grant program initiated this year.

Catch videos of past perfonnances on Channel 67, K-t..iESA ••• U you have a child who was in second through 11th grades last year, you recently received your child's individual results for the Stanford 9 tests. Those results have a score in each category as to how they fared in that subject against the studenis who took the test nationally. As previously dU;cussed. the tests do not net'eSS4rily track our local school cuniallum or the year in which that cuniculum is taught, making the results less than reliable, in my opin- ion. If a high school student receives a combined score that is in the top 5% of the state or the top 10% of his high school. he also receives the governor's scholarship for $1,000 a year for use at any oollege. 1 just discovered that I was reading the schoolwide results wrong after three yea.rs, so I want to make sure you aren't doing the same thing. Since my daughter's indi- vidualized scores are based on a peroent- age soore, I assumed the schools' grade level scores were an average of each stu- dent's individual score in that subject. Thus, if a school bad a 96 in reading, I assumed almost all of the students IOOl'8d at 96% ol the national average. I wu truly amued that a school could sustain that kind of score. It turns out the scboolwide ICOl'8 means that 96% of the kids scored et or above the natlooal average. which would be an indi- vidualized 1C019 of 50% or above. A ICIOle of 50 Would mean that bait of the ICbool's students were at or above the national average. There is no way to dlloaru whether a child got a 99% or a 51 % to be lncluded in that ICOl'8. Ukewile, for tbol8 students not at the 50% Aevel. the ICbOal· wide l9IUbl don't bwflcate If tlae kids ICDl'ed at the 10% national average Oil the '9%. hi my mind.

Thwsday) is that I'm certain she actually believes what she says. Rodeo is a popular and prof- itable sport with enough articu- late defenders and reassuring propaganda that even well- meaning animal lovers can be led to overlook what's so obviously inbwnane about it. Bailey-Findley said that a rodeo bull bucks "because it wants to,· and pointed out that it would nee rather than buck if it were in pain. That's a rather questionable use of the word •want" -surely I too would •want• to buck if I were shoved through a chute with a flailing member of another species strapped to my back against my will And as any rodeo veteran knows, when the bull's innate ·wanting" to buck isn't enough, flank straps and occasionally electric prods are used as motiva- tion. Be assured that bulls don't just buck recreationally; they do so out of discomfort and panic that is often induced on purpose to provide a more dramatic spec- tacle for the crowd. Bull riding, like virtually all rodeo events, is an event designed with human thrill-seek- ing -not animal well-being - in mind. As the Humane Society of the United States puts it in its official position against rodeo as sport: "Indifference to the wel- fare of these animals is built into the system of rodeo judging: a contest.ant's score is based on how long he/she can ride an unwilling animal or how quickly be/she can overpower an animal (the force of whose resistance acrually adds to the contestant's score).• II the Orange Co\IDty Fair real- ly wants tb be recognized for its "humane treabnent of animals," it needs to take a ha.rd look not only at its bull-riding events, but also at its elephant-riding booth and many of its farmyard exhibits. As it stands, the lair is, in most cases, doing only the minimum to ensure its animals' safety while reinforcing the notion that animals are merely items to be explOOed for human entertainment EUZA RUBENSTEIN Costa Mesa Wild animals are just that: wild Alison E.
