Speakers rail against CenterLine project

Opponents of the CenterLine light rail system rallied against the

project in Irvine Wednesday night.

The rally was an opportunity for opponents to consider their

options, said Costa Mesa resident Mike Berry. In June, 52% of Irvine

voters opposed the CenterLine route, but they didn’t reject the

concept of a light rail. Voters rejected an initiative that would

have banned the city’s participation in any light rail system.

In January, the Orange County Transportation Authority’s board of

directors approved a 9.3-mile CenterLine route that starts at the

Depot of Santa Ana and ends at John Wayne Airport with a stop at

Santa Ana College.

Scholarship benefits group and individual

Soroptimists International of Newport Harbor awarded a $1,000

scholarship to Adeline Guyenne on March 17.

Because she is a member of Girls Inc., located in Costa Mesa, the

organization received half of the amount. Guyenne is a 10th-grader at

Costa Mesa High School.

She received the award at a luncheon at the Santa Ana Country

Club.
