For the record - June 28, 2002

Despite our proclamations in an editorial in Thursday’s Pilot (“Fourth

of July won’t be without its fanfare”), there will not be a fireworks

display at Orange Coast College’s LeBard Stadium on Independence Day.

That display ended nearly a decade ago, we just learned.

We apologize for any misunderstanding or inconvenience our

misinformation may have caused.

Further, we pledge to keep up on all the important goings on in

Newport-Mesa from now on, such as a shopping center to be built north of

the San Diego Freeway -- it may be named South Coast Plaza -- and the

development of an area south of Newport Beach, set to be called Newport

Coast.
