The mural, which is on a library
wall in the campus quad area, cele-
brates pedestrian safety in a colorful
way. The school recently sponsored
a student contest and chose eight
winners whose poster desitJns are
incorporated into the mural. It will
be officially dedicate(l Thursday.
The mural highlights an issue
that is a major concern to parents
at the school, said Anne Satter-

School officials first found out
about the contest in December when
UC Irvine officials who work with
pedestrian safety contacted them.
The school was eligible to receive
the mural as a gift. as long as it
involved a child-generated design.
So Eastbluff created a contest
for students to design posters fea-
turing pedestrian safety. Seven
winning posters were chosen from
44 entries. The mural itself depicts
six students holding notebooks
with another notebook on the
ground. It was designed by

The tbural is painted in bright

slogan reads: "You otter be safe,"
incorpo~ating the school's mascot.
A reminder below the students
reads: "Look both ways and walk
with Eastbluff pride."
The 44 students who entered
the contest helped Howard paint
the mural. On Friday. sixth-grader
Richard DiMarco, 11, worked on

And we Me also working
together -as we have for sever-
al years· -to ensure that the
reuse of El Toro is accomplished
by tapping the resources or the
pnvate sector to the fullest f>Xtent
possible
As taxpayer-.. each of us has
helped foot the 11111 for the reloca-
llon of the U S Mannes away
from Tustin dnd El Toro. The tab
is already over $1.3 billion, and
mounting Brcause the base clo·
sure process Wds intended to
.save taxpaye rs money, it's vitally
important thdl we try to recoup
at least some of the Vdlue of this
property tor thl' benefit or federal
taxpayers.
In 1997, we wNe dmong four
Orange County Rcpublicdns m
Congress who <;1gned a request
to the county's then-CEO. Jan
M1ttenne1er. to seU the El Toro
property to thP pnvdte sector. We
noted at the Lime that private
ownership could more swiftly
and efficiently construct an air-
port there. or alternatively devel-
op any other land use for which
the property might subsequently
be zoned.
Today, with zonmg for the
property controlled by Measure
W, the same Imperative of pri·
vate sector mvolvement remains.
If the "Great Park• 1s not lo
become the "Great Tax,· as
detractors complained before the
election, the inherent value of
the land must be tapped to gen·
erate lbe funds needed for a
park. ln government hands, the
land cannot be taxed; m private
hands, an unending stream of tax
revenue from the property -
combined with landowner con-
cessions in lbe form of fully
developed parkland -could pro-
vide lastlng ben9fits for the pub-
lic.
The passage of Measwe W
also leaves unanswered the
question of new airport capacity
to meet future demand. A num·
ber of different options wilJ need
to be considered, including the
fe 1bility of oxtendlng trans·

·Sisyphus deals with rush time
A bout a week dgo, I took a
college trip to d recep-
tion at UC4A. ll was
quite interesting, tleanng from
students, teachers and the chan·
cellor hunself. I dehrnlely
learned a lot. Unlortuadtely, the
reception ended at about b p.m.,
and I still had lo drive from
Westwood to Newport Uedch
It was the tail end of whdt ts
so erroneously dubbed "rush
hour.• Has the congestlon ever
actuaJly gotten better m a single
hour? It should be callPd ·rush
tlme, • or something along those
Imes. to paint a more dccurdle
picture for new souls involved.
Anyway. rush hour is dn
interesting Southern Cdhfornia
phenomenon, although I'm sure
there are situations thdl mtrror it
dround the world. What I'> rnler·
esting about it ts how the trdrtic
is comprised of so many diJfer·
ent types of people who deal
with the horrors in so many clif-
ferent ways.
First, you've got the gut-
wrendungly pers1Stent guy This
guy doesn't change lane'> for 20
miles (which is about two hours
of dnvmg time). It's hdrd to tell
from his icy face whether he is

respectable Although he may
be Cdughl m the slowest lane of
LhP Sdn Diego Freewdy, you can-
not 11<.·ny the fdct that he is mov-
m9 forwdfd.
Then you've gol your crazy,
su1ndal chap Without so much
d'> a cursory glance over tus
-.houlder, he can go from the
exit lctne to the carpool lane and
bdck in one fiwd molion. Most
of the lime, his disregard for the
• future can be attributed to lazi-
ness or general apathy.
dlthough he may whine about
the "norm.· praise "personal
freedom" and brag dbout tus
"md1v1dua1ity • Sure, he makes
his own choices. It was his
choice to end up pdrked on the
side of the highway, engine
flaming. He thinks he's got
nothing to lose, with his beat-up
'84 Ptnto, but he forgot about
losing his ltfe.
The attitudes or the dnver'>
are dlso quite vaned. Some com·
muters are banging the heel ol
their hand into the wheel,
sweanng like a sailor. Some dre

Letter sets some residents off
AT ISSUE: Lu and Diane Walker
wrote April 16 that skateboarders
blocked a street near Newport
Harbor High School as they drove.
W ow. I was shocked when I read the
letter by Lu and Diane Walker
(Readers Respond, April 16). It was
one or the most closed-minded and short-
sighted letters l have ever read on the subject
of the skateboard park. Please, answer me
this: U you saw six to eight skateboarders sit-
ting in one street, how many other skate-
boarders do you Uunk are in other streets
throughout Costa Mesa and Newport Beach?
I know for a fact that there are more skttte·
boarders and that they all want a place to
skate.
Oh yeah, and in response to the passage
about Santee, if you had thought about the
type of area that Santee is, you would realize
that it isn't exactly the most hospitable city m
the world, and that drug problems already
existed before the creation of a skate park.
The skate park did not create the problems,
but it did turn out to be a perfect target for
the concerned citizens who didn't take the
time to lirld out where the problems came
from. The skate park did not create the prob-
lems but received all the blame for them.
That is simply not right.
But, please, don't let my logic ruin your
perception of skateboarders You're absolute-
ly right. All we a re is a bunch of stoned
. gangbangers looking for mothers to terrorize
and liquor stores to rob Oh, pardon my sar-
casm. that de.finiUon is tired and incorrect.

eight years, as an example. I am an honor roll

The win improved tbe host's league w1nning

The Sallors played the Hawks even into

Laguna Hills to take a l-0 lead.
The wieamed run came after the Sailors bad
runners at the comers with no outs in the top

Irrelevant Week reminds
us it's good to sing the
praises of the unsung
I rrelevant Week founder Paul Salata
was obviously onto something
when, close to 30 years ago, he
decided the last man chosen in the
NFL Draft deseived to be celebrated
just like the big-time bonus babies
who headline what has become a two-

cirrus.
Salata. a

he initiated
Irrelevant Week,
approaching its
Barry Faulkner
PREPS
27th renewal, to sunply do something
nice for someone for no good reason.
What a concept.
There are plenty of unsung
individuals in high school athletics
who are deserving of such treatment.
A few examples:
• The kld at the end of the bench,
whose chances of playmg are often
diametrically opposed to his/her
passion for the game and
commitment to the team.
• The hard-working asSlStanl
coach who is responsible, almost
always anonymously. for team and
individual success.
• The athletic duector who
supports every one of his programs.
no matter bow few hours in the day it
leaves for personal pursuits.
• The athlebc secretanes. revered
by coaches, but virtually unknown to
the other legions of athletes. parents
and media they so efficiently assist.
Think of your busiest working day,
double that workload and you have a
better idea of the multi-tasking
involved in this thankless job.
· • The dutiful volunteer slat
keepers, most often students but
sometimes parents, who record the
skeletal structure of any contest.
upon which deldils that provide
lifetime memories are later
constructed. And all this for VU'tually
no more thanks than a bouquet of
flowers at the postseason banquet
• The family member(s) whose
spectator presence means more to
the1r favorite athlete or athletes than
any words or encouragement they
could yeU from the stands.
• And, yes, even the officials, who,
at their self-described best, are
effectively invisible.
In the spirit of Irrelevant Week,
why not do something nice for
somebody like that? We know there
are plenty of good reasons.
Those wbo reall2e the term
