His proposal could keep the trailer park renters on public land unW 2009. California State Parks officials have signaled their intention to remove them after their leases expire in 2004.

Norris introduced bis students to his pen- chant for poetry during the first week of school, and their reaction was overwhelmingly positive. •He made it really fun for us,• said Courtney Ulrich, 10. Norris instructed his students to Write •I Am" poems on Friday as part of a language arts les- son. The poems are comprised of several state- ments starting with ·r that encourage the stu- dents to express themselves creatively. The purpose of the lesson was twofold -to enable Norris to learn more about his new stu- dents and to inspire them to learn about them- selves through the writing process. ·1 like to challenge the kids," Norris said. "My goal for them is they step up and meet that ch.allenge. But I also provide a safety net so they don't feel overwhelmed." J~ ·Norris uses verse to get to know his new students at Victoria Elementary School Nonis started the lesson by reading an •1 Am• poem he had.written about himself. •1 am a teacher who thinks kids are great and works hard for them," it began. Then he explained hOw easily the poem could be wrttten because the students only had to fill in the blanks after each •r statement. He encoiiraged them to let th~ imaginations rµn wild for the parts of the poem that dealt with senses and eJD,otions. When it was time to practice a sample poem, many of.fhe students raised their hands to help fill in the blanks. "I wonder about the future," said Stephanie Rainbolt, 10. •1 wonder if I'll make a lot of money,• said Scott Sherman, 10. Then it was time for the students to summon chedal for 1e .. than $11.50.

Dd Oro• N~ ae.ch, CA 92660 949.640.6650 6 T~, Septenk 11, 2001 . X'each earlier in the school year I ostead of Gov. Gray Davis' plan to add time to the school year, just once I would like teaching to start on the first day of school. That means each · student would have a con- firmed schedule and teach- ers could pass out books and expectations on the first day to students who would ulti- mately remain in their class for the year. Each year we now waste about a week of time getting all of the sched- uling problems straightened out. Is the first day of school a big secret to those in charge of having lockers in working order? Why can't they be ready and be doled out the week before school starts? Somehow, school districts have to figure out a better way to start a new school year.HI were a school prin- cipal or assistant principal, I would start getting ulcers in August, just kno~g what faced me in a week. At the elementary school level, prindpals have the chal- lenge of the 20 students to one teacher cap in kinder- garten through third grade. That means that if there are 82 third-graders at a school, the district and school has to pay for five third-grade teachers at that school or come up with a different solution. Salaries are the most expensive part of the district budget, so if that elementary school·has five teachers for 82 students, some other school or department will feel the burden. Should fourth through 12th grades have classes of 38 students each to al,low for the fifth · teacher? Should schools with just a few extra second- and third-graders combine them into one clas~? Should the students that registered at the last minute be sent to a neighboring school that also h8.$ fewer than 20 third- graders? · The solution will have art effect on the students, as well as the district as a whole. Parents have been contacting me about the hocror of a combination class. However, most Ameri- can schools started out as a big combination class, where the one-room school- house taught all grade lev- els. With such a low student- to-teacherratio in the early grades, the teacher has time to work with students of all levels, no matter what their assigned grade level I would prefer a combination class without a child who continually disrupts the class to a straight grade level class with my child losing education minutes for the teacher to deal with behav- ioral problems. Last week, I watched a PBS show that followed five teachers durtng their tint year of teaching. Almost Goy Geiser-SanCIOWI . EDUCATIONALLY SPEAKING everyone had a student who did not comply with class rules and didn't get their work done. As one teacher recounted, •There are 10 students that always come in on time and get started with their work. They don't make a fuss, and they always complete their work. They must think there is something wrong with me since they have to put up with daily disruptions.• Those disruptions seem to be pushing new teachers out of the classrooms into an alternative profession. The September issue of Stanford Magazine found that while kindergarten through 12th- grade education stlll attracts young adults with sterling credentials, they are leaving as fast as they arrtve. It notes that a new teacher makes about $15 an hour - about the same as a fast- food manager, even though they have five yean; of higb- et education. , ~ As many as 30% oJ new U.S. teachers leave the pro- fession within five years, according to research by Stanford education professor Llnda Darling-Hammond. This summer, the nation's public schools tried to fill 180,000 teaching slots. The Newport-Mesa Unified Sehool District, in an effort to control personnel costs, hired teachers as substitutes with the UJlderstand.ing that they would be hired full time as needed. Substitute teachers don't get benefits, such as health insurance. I'm surprised that any teach- ers signed on under those conditions. As one young ex-teacher said, ·1 didn't get into teach- ing to yell at kids or force them to be in school.~ It was suggested that the problem does not lie with the teach- ers or the way they are trained. The problem lies with the structure of sec- ondary education, in partic- ular. Schools need to be smaller, with teachers involved with fewer kids per year. Let's stop blaming teachers or expect Stanford 9 tests to be education's s~ vation. Let's make every school day a day for learn- ing. • GAY ClllSIA-SANDOVA&. Is • Costa Mesa r.sldent.

Lessler I n the past few years, the county has made much-needed improve- ments on MacArthur Boulevard in the Newport Beach area. However, it has done a poor job in planning the traffic flow in the area of Harbor View Drive and MacArthur Boulevard. Harbor View Drive is used as a cut-~gh for some nonresidents to avoid \ traffic on Coast Highway. 'Ibis cut-through traffic, along with the many residents who live in the Harbor View Hills area, creates a very dangerous situation on MacArthur. Drivers trying to enter MacArthur are forced to negotiate heavy northbound traffic, as well as avoiding southbound traffic trying to turn onto Harbor View Drive. In addition. a new development containing at least 50 homes is about to begin selling in this area. This will increase the resident population even more. Thm-e have been many near miss- es, and I believe it is just a matter of time before we have a catastrophic accident. The solution to th.is prob- lem is to install a traffic light at MacArthur and Harbor View Drive. Please let us do this before we have a disaster. • Ml.a. A. ll!SSUll ls a Newport Beach resident DON LEACH /OM.Y Pl.OT The dty of Costa Mesa bu reallzed that there aren't enough sports fields and parks for people to use.

I have watched California Ele- mentary and TeWmkle Middle schools develop over the past 30 yea.ts into a full sports complex. I have also observed other schools and park areas in the Costa Mesa area never develop at all Uke I said, I like to see people enjoy themselves but not at the expense of the folks living around the area. I don't think that•s NIMBY; it is just the truth. When we have a championship series at TeWinkle, your best bet is to leave the area for the weekend or be trapped in a parking jungle.

Several natioDally known ldentists provided similar concerns. The major naw of the study is the reliance on the number of col- ipbage organisms -viruses that infect bacteria but not humans -to calculate illness rates of swimmers. To my knowledge, there is no scien- tific evidence that the rate of swim- mer illness can be predicted by measuring the number of coliphage particles present in marine waters such as Newport Bay. In my opin- ion, this study is not scientifically defensible. After reviewing the firm's draft report, I regret that I cannot draw any meaningful conclusions from the study regarding the safety of swim- ming in Newport Bay.

The improved Mustangs, who return four players from last year's squad, will move into a new league next year (the Golden West League) with the likes of Ocean View, Tustin. Westminster and Santa Ana.
