Most of the equipment was out of date and school officials had planned to throw it away, ' said Assistant Principal ~obert , Cunard. "It w.ould be fair to charac- • teri.ze this as a trash fire, unfor- . tunateJy," Cunard said. ' The storage area behind the AUt.!)Orities extinguished the fire around 8:30 p.m. and then turned the investigation over to P@ce, said Lt. John Blauer of the. Newport Beach Fire and M~e Department. Sunday's was the third sus- pected arson fire at the high school in the last two months. Scliool officials do not believe the fires are linked, Cunard said. In mid-April, school officials reported two separate fires that started inside boys' bathrooms. Those blazes were started by someone who set fire to toilet paper, which ignited the plastic dispenser, Cunard said.· Off!· dais have since replaced the plastic dispensers with metal ones to prevent futUre fires. Authorities interviewed a few suspects in both bathroom' fires, but still do not know who was responsible for eitlft!r, Cunard said. .MUNICIPAL BONDS NEwPoRT BEACH -said bond proponent Rush Schultbeil Mid.

The low numbers support that concern. lf the coach or teacher doesn't want to disrupt a student's We. they ~ a blind eye lo the problem. A second concern was that there was no mandatory counseling or other help; just a transfer of the stu- dent from one school to another. While the district cannot mandate counseling, they could allow stu- dents to propose a plan or action for the offense, and alJow that plan to be instituted, staying the transfer, to see if the plan was completed. This would satisfy a third con- cern. which was that alJ offenses received the same consequence, so that it lost its sense of proportional- ity. The student who is in a car on the way home from a game not knowing a fellow passenger pos- sesses alcohol has the same trans- fer consequences as the kid who smokes pot in class.

I have perfonned in countless per- formarices with Rutherford's big bands aI\P improvisation groups both on and off campus over the years. I also played trumpet on the first compact disc produced by Rutherford involying the students of the Saturday band. I can st.ate without hesitation or reservation that Rutherford.is a world-class educator in the finest tradition of the only art form fully originating in the United St.ates. As a jazz educator, be has brought a unique arid thoroughly profession- al approach to every aspect of his position. One could search long arid hard to find anyone of his cal- iber in the field, not to mention that he has dedicated his life for more than 30.,years to this endeav- or. He almost single-handedly has raised the stangards of jazz instruc- tion and directly influenced scores of musicians who are now at the zenith of the.ir respective fields of musical activity. Orange Coast Col- lege should be very proud indeed or his accomplishments and contri- butions for this school. Now, you can imagine my extreme disappointment that many, if not all or his progra.ais/ are being canceled. Notwithstand- ing any other contributive ele- ments that may be effecting this decision, I urge the "powers that be" to step back and take a 30,000-fool view of what is going on here .

I don't pretend to have all the relevant information and indeed would welcome some enlightenment on this matter. But from my point of view, something just doesn't make sense. Thank you for taking the •ionc to allow me to air my point of view and for your efforts in sup- porting the general goals and pur- poses of OCC. Overall J applaud Smith frn:8trates bond supporters . D edicated groups of com- munity leaders, parents and students are working very hard to assure that the Newport-Mesa Unified School District's Facilities Master Plan will be implemented. These groups have spent sev- eral years assessing the condi- tion of ow local schools and in the process have id~ntified spe· cific projects to bring e&ch school up to a basic standard of a safe. Readers healthy RESPOND =i me nt. These projeas will happen only if voters approve Measure A on the June 6 bollot, which will raise up to $110 million to be spent on UJ>Wad.ing, safety, mod- ernization and rebuilding 29 public schools in Newport Beach and Costa Mesa. U approved, the state could provide S53 million in matching funds. To assure that the money railed from the school ·bond ii well spent, an independent CitH zem Overttght Committee will ensure that every dollar goes only to the specific repain and renovations ide ntified in the plan. • It is insulting to all community members involved to continu- ously read Steve Smith's articles where his distortions and bias appear as ofact (•Do your home- work on bond issue,• April 25.} For example, he defines "implementation" as •bow much it will cost to spend y0ur money.• In reality, implementa- tion includes architects' and con- tractors' fees, since projects must be designed. and built. It includes temporary housing of students, since some projects cannot be completed over the summer months, and a 10% con· tingency, which will only be used if needed. However, any- one who has built or remodeled a home realizes the necessity of a contingency budget. Smith also lambutes funding for lunch shade coven, which are included in the plan for sev- eral school lites. He namea three schools and correctly remarkl that •they all alnMdy have lunch shade coven." 1llele lunch shades are in pl.tee becaUM they were leJ>U•te.ly funded .,_. the master plan WU writtan. ffow. ever, bonds will not be sold for previously funded projects.

Smith speculates about an imaginary school board study claim ing the Loats renova- tion ... wW be directly responsible for an increase in test scores." Ignoring bill sarcasm, we do feel that a renovated facility will benefit an enormous number of students through performing arts, concerts, lecturel and forums.
