It’s Time for the Mayor and City Council to Do the Right Thing for Veterans and Their Families: Just Say YES!

It’s Time for the Mayor and City Council to Do the Right Thing for Veterans and Their Families: Just Say YES!

For years, Orange County veterans and their families have been waiting for the Irvine City Council to do the right thing and move forward with construction of the long-promised Veterans Memorial Park & Cemetery on the 125-acre "ARDA" site at the Great Park.

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.

COVID-19 Pandemic: One Year Later

COVID-19 Pandemic: One Year Later

It's been more than a year since the first COVID-19 case was reported in Orange County.  We have now had 246,634 reported cases and 3,921 Orange County residents have lost their lives to the virus. Here in Irvine, there have been 10,141 reported cases and 67 of our Irvine neighbors have died from COVID-19.  

Each of those 67 deaths in Irvine represents someone's mother, father, daughter, son, friend, neighbor, or co-worker. Thousands of lives have been devastated by the loss of our 67 Irvine neighbors.

UCI’s New Slate Online: A Completely New Dimension in Dance Concerts

Due to COVID-19 restrictions, the production crew for UCI’s New Slate Online dance concert mixed live and pre-recorded material, added music, and then uploaded it on Vimeo for the performance that those of us in the audience watched.  Which scenes were pre-recorded, and which were live?  There was no way to tell.

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