Since she ran for the Irvine City Council in 2018, now-Mayor Farrah Khan has insisted that she supports the proposed Veterans Memorial Park & Cemetery. This past year, she has publicly and repeatedly endorsed the placement of the Veterans Cemetery on the 125-acre "ARDA" site at the Great Park.
However, since being elected Mayor, Khan has displayed no interest in moving forward with the project.
Two Irvine high school students (and siblings), Neil and Monica Pal, have written a children's book focused on helping kids deal with fears surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic.
Neil and Monica's family owns a Montessori preschool, which allowed them to see firsthand how young children were confused and frightened by the uncertainty in their lives when the pandemic struck.
Wanting to help, Neil and Monica teamed up to write The COVID-19 ABC Alphabet Book.
It's been more than a year since the first COVID-19 case was reported in Orange County. We have now had 247,751 reported cases and 4,226 Orange County residents have lost their lives to the virus.
Here in Irvine, there have been 10,209 reported cases and 76 of our Irvine neighbors have died from COVID-19. Each of those numbers represents someone's mother, father, daughter, son, friend, neighbor, or co-worker. Thousands of lives have been devastated by the loss of our 76 Irvine neighbors.

Taking the unusual “seat in the audience,” in front of my PC at home, I was surprisingly delighted by this very unique spectacle!

Every election cycle, candidates for City Council talk about how much they support our local veterans. Yet seven long years after the City agreed to donate the ARDA site for a beautiful State-built and State-operated Veterans Memorial Park & Cemetery, construction still has not begun.
