Unlike the white ducks that are classified as domestic, mallar~ are a migratory species. But, as city staffers have learned through talks with Fish and Game offi- cials, the Grand Canal mallards stopped migrating a long time ago because the food and water put out for them there took away any incentive to leave. •we think there's a legal way to do it,• Kiff said. "We have a relocation proposal we're looking at.• One of the biggest concerns of hir- ing animal controllers to move the birds is making sure they don't return. "If we spent thousands of dollars and then the ducks came back, we'd look pretty foolish," Kiff said. Kill said it is not yet known how much the operation would cost or where the ducks and mallards would be relo- cated -only that the city would be careful to observe the letter and spirit or laws designed to protect the animals. • JUNE CASAGRANDE covers NewpQrt Beach.

Jones was among the hundreds of people who gathered at Harbor Lawn Memorial Park in Costa Mesa to pay their respects to those who lost their lives while fighting for the country's liberty and freedom. Decorated veterans, suited politi.- ' .. cians, uniformed Boy Scouts, sandal- footed children and their parents all made up a large and diverse crowd at the cemetery memorial service. Early mornir!g clouds finally broke, and Southern California sun rays warmed the program. Costa Mesa Fire Chief James Ellis spoke to the crowd about the military heroes who were called to seive their counby, and also the heroic firefight· ers and police officers who answered the counby's call on Sept 11 .

Others participating in the research group include Mitsuya Mo.rt, a professor of theater studies in Tokyo, and Lin Shen, director or the Research Institute of the Cen- tral Academy ol Orama in China. For the past eight weeks, the eight group members have viewed and discussed each other's work.

At the end otthe semester, the group will produce a tangible product of their research.

Doily Pilot .. GREG AIY I DAl.Y Pit.OT Joe Faz. Mkldle College High School prindpal, plans to retire at the end of the school year. An enduring presence Though Joe Fox will soon retire from Middle College High School, his influence will live on in the students. Deirdre Newman DAILY PILOT 0 n the desk of Joe Fox, the outgoing principal of Middle College High School, is a pictw'e of him with a beaming gradu- ate of Orange Coast College. When the student, Mariela Arellano, came to Middle Col- lege, she was unhappy and didn't think she was going to finish, Pox said. She went on to finish high IChool and grad- uate from OCC a year later. "She wasn't by any means our best student, but when I think about the purpose of the school, this school made a difference to her," he said. It might be just as appro- priate to say Fox made a dif- ference to her -the picture represents the personal rela- tionship he has with many students at the school. Middle College High School, on the OCC campus, attracts juniors and seniors who don't feel comfortable in a traditional school setting or want an extra challenge. Many 1tudents say the warm, caring principal who believes in them will be greatly misled. •He alwaya haa faith in all studentl. He knows they can do well," Mid Mila Gukaylo, 17. ·u I ever have a problem, h1'1 alwaya there to help.• Fox. 62, came to the district as a high school teacher in 1966, after teaching for a few years near Chicago. He was drawn to teaching because his family prized education. "School was always an important part of my We and my family's We, in particular athletics and activities," said Fox, who has also coached wrestling. He arrived at Middle Col- lege High School five years ago alter the program had been piloted for a year. At the time, the climate between the high school and Orange Coast College was so tense that it was questionable whether the school would remain open, Fox said. So one of his first priorities was establishing congenial relations with the campus. He put on his public rela- tions hat and ~ot busy com- municating Wlth the college delllS and president. The effort paid off as the college is accommodating of the school's needs in tentlS of faCilities and campus support, Fox said. The construction of two new buildings in Septem- ber, jointly supported by the school district and the college, also alleviAted some of the tension and gave students and sUlff a home of their own. Jim Carnett, director of media relations for the col- lege, con.firms that Fox was a successful advocate for the high school in the college community. •Joe's a great guy," Car- nett said. "He is a presence on the campus all-the time. He has so many ties to the OUR /11\IALS ARI A TRIP TO /11\IXICO campus and so many con- nections with people." Another legacy.Fox leaves is the establishment of the Par- ent Teacher Student Assn. Fox wanted to 5ee more parents involved, so he enlisted the help of the Harbor Council Par- ents-Teachers Assn. Now the association is at 82 members and growing, a strong showing considering there are 97 stu- dents at the schoo~ Fox said. Fox is also proud of the climate of tolerance at the school after he started a character education program two years ago. •One of the things I think we accomplished a lot here is the school environment is safe, accepting and respect- ful," Fox said. Senior Pasha Patel said Fox fostered a spirit of inde- pendence among students while still keeping a sense of authority. ·He lets you lead your own life at school," Pasha said. ·If there needs to be any discipline, he'll talk to you. He's not intimidabng. • Fox, also a marathon run- ner, showed the same endurance at work as-on the tiack =-he never lost a day of work, making up for any days he missed due to illness. He is retlrtng to spend more time with his wife of 33 years, Kathy. Like a true marathon run- ner, Fox said he has bitter- sweet feelings about reach· ing the end of his education- al career. •The true joy comes in the journey, rather than the des- tination," he said.

On the AGENDA MAIM SRllT FICUS TIEIS The fate of 25 ficus trees on Balboa Peninsula hang in the balance tonl9ht when City Council members reconsider a decision by the Parks Beaches and Recreation Commission. Commissioners had voted to have the trees removed and ultimately replaced with another species that would be less damaging to sidewalks and Infrastructure. WHAT TO EXPECT: Trouble. The fact that the item is before the council is evidence of the fact that this is f contentious Issue. Some res.- idents love' the trees and think they should stay. Others agree they've got to go. No matter what council members decide, someone'S going to be upset. CITY BUDGET Council members and the public will get their first good look at the pro- posed city budget. the city's S 142.1-mil- lion spending plan for the 2002-03 fis- cal year. WHAT TO EXPECT: This is just the first public hearing on the budget. No real action is required, but a lot of discussion could take place. NEWPORT HEIGHTS TRAFFIC In r~sponse to Newport Heights and Cliff Haven residents' concerns over traffic, the counci l tonight will consider whether to conduct a study of traffic in that area. WHAT TO EXPECT: If council members take the staff's recommendation, a traffic engineering consultant will be hired to study a wide range of Issues in the area, Including traffic speeds, pedestrian concerns, cut- through traffic and total traffi~ vol- umes. Also, they will study the three public schools and St. Andrew's Presby- terian Church in the area, which have been identified as the source of some traffic problems.

Resi- dents of the Emerson/Tustin neigh- borhood, which is nine parcels between Newport Beach and Costa Mesa, convinced the Local Agency For· mation Commission that they belong in Newport,· not Costa Mesa. That commission in turn has asked Newport to add the area to the list of ~laces the city will annex. While considering this item, council members will also consider whether to polish some details of the east Santa Ana Heights annexation. WHAT TO EXPECT: Some of the most controversial aspects of Santa Ana Heights and Bay Knolls annexation have been smoothed over in Tuesday's agenda item. City offi- cials have backed off on their idea to build a fire station on the same site where residents want a community cen- ter. Newport staff members have also proposed that the city chip in for the cost of the fire station. This could result in smooth approval of the proposed council action. SHEUMAKER MARINE STUDIES CENTER The city's dream of building a state- of-the-art Marine Studies Center at Shellmaker Island will be one step clos- er to reality if council members approve an item to hire architect Ron Yeo to design the center. WHAT TO EXPECT: Staff members are recommending the council approve the $200,000 contract. -Compiled by June C:.ggrande LOok who · sailed into Newport Harbor 1812 Privateer LYNX AMERICAN CLIPPER SCHOONER LYNX SCHEDULE OF EVENTS MAY 22 THROUGH JUNE 30, 2002 WEOf'jESOAV, THURSOAV.

No chlldren at Mariners Elementary School will miss out on having a school library. On the contrary, they will have a newer, larger, safer, more secure, nicer facility to use on a daily basis.

They have donated money to local schools, ensuring that upon reaching my high school reunion, my school will not be decrepit and downtrod- den.

Parents come out to support Mariners library AT ISSUE: Newport Beach and the school district plan to team up to buila a joint-use. facility, but some -are not pleased. W e read with amazement the letters written in opposition to the proposed joint-use library. While they make some excel- lent points regarding safety (who isn't in favor of safety?), none of those points is a reason not to build the new library. Only a fevedsh imagination would lead one to conclude not to build a library because pedophiles might go there (should we close per- manently all community playgrounds because evil people might deposit razor blades and broken glass there?). Obviously, safety and related issues have been and will continue to be addressed as this project goes forward and after it is completed. We have a golden, one-time chance here to build a state of the art library and repatriate tax dollars too. This is a wtD-win opportunity for our children and our community. As the parents of four cb.Udren. three of whom attend Mariners Elemei;itary, we fully support the joint-use library. We hope tha.t oth- ers in the community will 8nd the forest through the trees and rally around this project because our kids deserve this.

Of this amount, $2 million would be provided by the state and the remaining million raised from local conbibutions or paid for by the city of Newport Beach. This proposal has been championed by the New- port Beach library administration as a means to replace the existing facility they view as outdated. Several recent letters have dis- cussed the pros and cons of this pro- posal. Although some of these issues are debatable, particularly those relating to.the benefit to the school, some aspects of the proposal are clear. The cwrent proposal would create a larger facility, reducing the size of the playing fields and open space in Ma.riner's park. Also, since It is a joint-use facility that is by defini- tion open to the public, the children of the school will be exposed to risks beyond those they encounter in the existing school library. It's not all upside1 there are trade-offs. What may not be as dear to all readers is how the funds for this pro- ject would be spent. Under the cw- rent proposal, the $3 million will not buy new books, will not expand the hours of the library and will not expand its reach to people not cur- rently served. Instead, the money will be spent for a wger structwe, a new parking lot and presumably freshly painted walls and ahi.ny new chalrs. In the wrrent climate of a $20.bD- Uon state deficit. one has to ask: ls this the belt use we can think ol for these $3 millionf In a time when emergency rooms are dollng from lack of funds, ln a time wban an increasing portion of our commwlity can't read English let alone \lie the new library, ln a time when a tragically large number ol our young people are struggllnq wtth the demands ol raising a family when their peen me stm tn IChool or tn the library, shouldn't we reoomlder our prioritiasf For me, this ii one apple pie that has grown sow.

There are expected to be some safety-inspired policy and procedurnl plans put in place c·two deep leader- ship~ -two adult sWfel'$ J,Jl,lhe chil- dren's section, one a Mariners school librarian; signing in and out, etc.) . The new joint-use library would be safer with both the city of Newport Beach and the Newport-Mesa Uni- fied School District involved in mak- ing its safety the best possible. We are sure that any indMdual, male or female, bent on endangering our children would think twice before e'-:en coming close to this facility. We think that the issue of safety is a smoke screen forsome that would scuttle th& new Joint-use library. A Joint-use public library and pub- lic school library is good stewardship of public money and public facilities. It makes economic sense to apply for a grant that would bring $2 million of our tax money back to our community. A new library would enhance the property values and show that this community values libraries and educa- tion. Newport Beach ls setting the examp~e by taking the responsibility for managing the property, and Mariners dool would have to share tbelr boo.ks, even if the books wear out soooer. Surely worn out books would be re~ced. No one has ever aocused us of doing something Jmt fc. ~ money; we support this project because libraries are good for the community. . In the long run, a new, larger. high tech, S3-m.1Illon library ls better than the temporary p<;rt4tilf! Mnd smaller, old bWklliig.
