Deirdre Newman Daily Pilot NEWPORT-MESA -l he di~tnct's pre- school at the Harper Education Center is gearing up for a major expansion and change in itS instruction that will place it at the vanguard of preschool education in the state. The site, which now serves about 60 spe- cial education students. 1s preparing for an onslaught of new ~tudents next year. Thanks to a slate grant, the site will take on 240 mainstream preschoolers in early Feb- ruary. The addjtion will benefil both groups of students. as the sjte will offer various in- structional options including some Hblended" classrooms. where special ed students and thelr mainstream counter- parts wiU be integrated.

HThe children will be much better pre- pared for kindergarten and the ~rience that they'U have wilh their peers," Hoggard said.

Assembly assignments signed and sealed S.J. Cahn Daily Pilot Newport-Mesa's two assembtymen, John Campbell and ~ Maddox. received their committee assignments for the 2003-04 session last week. And there were no surprises under the Democratically controlled Capitol tree. Maddox, it appears, will be the busier of the two. He will serve on the Agriculture Committee (possibly because those in Sacramento are confused by his political tag: R-Garden Grove), the Environmental Safety and Toxic Materials Committee, the Governmental Organization Committee (which has a lot ol members, strangely enough), the Util.ltidand Comme.rce Committee (a hotbed laleJy, given the energy aiais) and u vice chairman of the Insurance Committee. On that last committee, he'll be able to order around his fellow Newport-Mesa lawmaker. The Insurance Committee is one of just two Campbell Is on; the other is Utilities and Commerce. which gave him a noteworthy platform from which to attack Gov. Gray Davis' energy policies in the last few years. THE WRfTING'S ON THE WALL STREET Newport Beach's Rep.

"From the absurd lO·year phaseout of the death tax (and the even more absurd restoration of it one year after full repeal), to the wtlndexed growth of the Alternative Minimum Tux (AMT) -not to mention the damagingly high marginal tax rates on individuals -congressional scoring is to blame."

Among the stealth · attacks from this past summer was a lawsuit med against the city of Irvine and the Irvine Co. about pJam to build homes for about 35,000 people to the north of the c1osed Marine Bue. At the heart of the suit were claiml that 'the dty'a environmental review of the project WU inadequate. And the man who 6.led It argued.that the project waa far too derue for the area.

Or the outraged protectors of the ficus trees and the incontinent ducks. Or the letter write.r who finally came to the defense of the embattled Dave Ellis by pointing out that he consistently knocked off Democrats, which certainly gave Ellis license to use any tactics -including lies and deceit -that were effective in eliminating these noxious critters. I have had complaints from local citizens who wondered why their letters weren't run, and I have no answers except lack of space, poor timing or personal attacks and such excessive rhetoric that lt doesn't merit print.

I have learned in the several years I've been doing this gig that it is almost impossible to predict what subject matter that will draw mall.

And, by most accounts, this year's Newport Harbor Christmas Boat Parade was a major SU~ 1b.ls year's cruise through the harbor was the first with a dual route: three nights running aligbtly shorter. two nights still on th( traditional Udo Isle and tip of the harbor course. After much debate and endless consternation, it is dear that the decision by parade organizers to tweak the tMmt for its 94th running was the right one. 'Rs, some people are, unfortunately, off the parade route during the week. But for the greater good of the boaters involved. the businesses that rely on the holiday draw and the thousands and thousands "of people who line the harbor to watch the stream of lights go by, trimming the route was what had to be done. Credit goes to those officials with the Newpon Beach · Chamber of Commerce who not only took the heat for what many thought a Grinch-like act, but who once again put on a fantastic string of nights. There really is nothing quite like seeing hundreds of boats toting millions of lights passing by houses that are covered in holiday decorations. And that the weather cooperated so nicely was almost a Olrlsnnas miracle. Thanks also are in order for all the boaters who decorated their vessels, a few almost beyond belief, and the folks who live along the water for lighting up their homes for all co enjoy. The time and energy is much appreciated. Newpon·Mesa may not have traditional holiday weather. But no snow, no problem. With the boar parade reinvigorated and as bright as ever, the harbor is sure to remain a holiday destination for years and years to come.

I'm sure there were many schedulmg conflicts that detracted from some of the candidates participation. My recommendation is co hold only three forums next time around, beginning in late September and finishing by the end of October. l\vo weeks between forums will give candidates time to meet otherobl.igations.too.F.ach forum should be a lirtle longer, giving an opportunity for a broader range of questions and more time to each candidate to answer. I WdS never able to attend a school board fonun becawe of time and scheduling constraints. Fewer council forums might help resolve that kind of problem. Greater publicity should be given to each forum. During that last week. I suspect, only the Mesa Del Mar couununfty was aware of their forum, since it came only one day before the finale at the Oty Council chambers.

Photo shows the danger of John Wayne expansion On Dec. 7, lhe Daily Pilot presented a photo of a tanker truck carrying 8,000 gallons of jet fuel headed to John Wayne Airport that was broadsided by an SUV driven by a suspected drunk driver. The collision caused the tanker to jack· knife and spill 4,000 gallons of fuel. Fortunately, there were no serious injuries. A week later. the Pilot published an article about the fading dream or El Toro. Meg Waters, Allan Songstad and an attorney for the El Turo Reuse Planning Authority were quoted with very sanguine views on the status of the airpon situation in Orange County. i.e., El Toro is dead and John Wayne will carry the entire load. However, l recall that Waters spent a lot of time and money early on in the airport imbroglio by designing and distributing at least 11 large posters purporting to show the problems with an airport at El Toro. One of them showed a picture, ln color, exactly like the scene In the photo of the previous article in the Pilot, an accident that actually happened at John Wayne. Waters intimated that the scene in the poster occurred at El Toro so as to frighten the residents of South County by illustrating what would happen If an airpon were operating at El Toro. The · picture was a lie, because no tanker trucks would ever be required at El Toro since it receives all of its fuel by pipeline from the refinery. Waters showed great concern for the safety or South County residents. even though there is no danger there from tanker trucks. but she shows no concern for the residents of Costa Mesa and Newport Beach, where there is a real danger. That danger will only increase as the passenger load increases to accommodate the burgeoning popuJation of South County. Waters also said the SQuth County and Newport Beach sbould wort together. A commendable statement, but one that lgno~ the majority of Orange County. The total population of Orange County la ~t 3 million; all of us paid state and federal taxes to establish the airport at El Thro and are now denied the use of it. The aolution propoeed by South County to mOYe the airport to the Inland Empire sounds reasonable at ftrat glance, but lgttores the e:lq)erlence of Los Angeles lntemadooal Airport when It tried to eolw: the Mme problem by putting the ... Palmdale airport In Lancaster. The l'MUlt ii best dela:ibed wbh a slight modUlcadon ol m Mrtier polldcal expression -"What if they flYe an airport and nobody camet' WIWMllCIMM c.-.a-. Schools deserve upgrades before beach deserves sand For the state to pay for upgrades on a beach seems ludicrous to me when our schools that were built ln the 1940s and '50s have Urtle to no upgrades at all still. It's just ludicrouc;. I can't believe we're tailing about moving around sand when those buildings that our children go to school in are in such desperate need of upgrading repair and, ln many cases. totally rebuilding. NIKI GOOD Newport Beach There's a big difference between the bridges Your story o n the Gisler/Garfield bridge in the paper was somewhat misleading ("Bridge notion widens gap between cities," Monday). You indicated that the action of the Fountain Valley City Council is very similar to what the Community of Redevelopment CommJttee was aslcin.g. Specifically. that both cities wanted to do feasibility studies for the bridges. That's not true. The staff report clearty stated that the funding that Fountain Valley is requestJng is for design and engineering for a bridge. That's way beyond a feasibility study: further that was the City Council. it wasn't a self-appointed committee that was voting to do this. So there's a profound difference, and I don't believe it's appropriate to make It seem to be the same thing. SANORA GENIS Costa Mesa •Sandra Genis is 1 former Coste Mesa mayor. An airport at E1 Toro is needed to ease travel time Leonard Kra.oser is rtgbt Onnge County's aiipon cannot serve future need& So be auggests an airpon In Riverside or San Bemaniino, which means just as much time on the freeway to get there. For years, we would go up to Los Angeles the nigllt before so as to ensure not miaaing our plane by an accident on the freeway. And going by limo might have the same problem, but this meant an extra day, plus hotel and padclf\I coats. Now we Oy out of Orange County. We refuse to call It John Wayne, but tbU means changing planes somewhere before getting to our dadnadoo. 1bia put Monday. corning from Caho. the plane into Phoenix wu late, ao we Md, at belt.• than lS minutes to get the plane to Orange County. Coming tlus way, one has to deplane at one end or the Phoenix Airport and get to the other end, about half a mile. I had a wheelchair waiting for me, but as we passed a s mall airport tram, I explained the problem, got on the tram. and the driver called and had the plane wait for u!t. They closed the door behind us as we boarded. We need El Toro. which wiU fly us directly and is close by. I guess Kranser doesn't go beyond the local supermarket.

Goodne!>S gracious, I just don't hke to buy cheap 1ewelry, so I didn't go. LYNNMERL£S Costa Mesa Column was right on about protecting free speech I just wanted to say how much J appreciated Tony Dodero's atticle because I think It is so imponant that people respect free speech and that we do get coverage on both sides of the issue ("From the Newsroom." Dec. 16). On another note, I've personally had issues with the anti-war movemenL People have tom bumper stickers off my car and I've received minor vandalism because I have anti-war stickers on my car. And then also. l have a human rights club that I started at Estancia HJgb School -I'm a teacher in Newport-Mesa -and my human rights club is also making anti-war messages and we've hung those messages up around our campus on Human Rights Day. Those were tom down as well. So there is a spirit of nationalism, I believe, that is just th.is pro-war nationalism and it'• sort of lik.e the spirit of censorship. So It wu a good article, an important article, about d..isagreetng; but don't leave the debate. When I read It. I found that two people called in to say they were cancding their subscription. WelJ. 1 don't subscribe to the Los Angeles Times, Dally Pilot, but I would like to because of Dodero's artide and I wu happy to bear that somebody was brave enough to cover the Issue. because it can be unpopular co tand for issues of human rights, anti-war, thinp like that I also think you guys dJd great coverage on the 6erce winter rwdJs coming ln at BJaclde's ln Newport Be9Ch.

G ame plans prepared by opposing deferuive coordinators were not the only paperwork significantly altered by a trio of Newport-Mesa running backs who recently capped prodigjous prep careers. The Newport-Mesa rushing record book was notably shu.ffied by the efforts of Costa Mesa High's KeoJa Asuega, Newport Harbor's Dartangan Johnson and Corona del Mar's Mark Cianciulli.
