Influential Santa Ana High teacher Bill Roberts dies at 75 - Los Angeles Times

Roberts started his career at private Catholic schools, including Damien High in La Verne and St. Anthony High in Long Beach. He taught history and coached basketball until he transferred to the Santa Ana Unified School District, where he stayed until he retired. “Bill saw their potential,” Bob Dukus, a Santa Ana High science teacher who befriended Roberts in 1989, said of the school’s students. The two hit it off and Roberts recruited Dukus to help lead Santa Ana High’s Quiz Bowl, an academic sport akin to “Jeopardy!” “He was there to support them 100%. A lot of our kids need that and Bill was one of the main ones who did that.”Although Roberts didn’t earn any districtwide recognitions, he was revered by many, even those who weren’t his students. He believed that in order to be a successful teacher, he needed to convince students that he genuinely cared about them. His charismatic leadership, witty remarks and drive to teach beyond the curriculum captivated students. His wife said he would go to Librería Martínez, a local bookstore in Santa Ana, and buy novels he felt would be meaningful to his students. “I wish I could have been in his classroom so I could see how he encouraged them to be such wonderful, critical thinkers.”Bill Duffy — a retired professional basketball player who heads one of the leading basketball agencies, BDA Sports Management — credits Roberts for establishing a strong foundation for success. Duffy still remembers how his heart swelled with pride when Roberts told him he reminded him of former Long Beach State All-American Ed Ratleff, who played for Team USA in the Munich Games and had a five-year NBA career. Duffy was 14 at the time. “When you’re a kid and coach says you remind him of someone who is already at a high level, it reinforces your belief in yourself and gives you confidence,” Duffy said.During his final days, Roberts received flowers and nearly 100 letters from his former students. Many told Roberts how he helped them find their voice and ultimately changed their lives for the better. “Truthfully, I felt very powerless for most of my life until you became my teacher,” Stephanie Mendez, a 2007 Santa Ana High graduate, wrote in her letter. She recounted her upbringing, living below the poverty line and coming from a broken home without any real parental figure for a majority of her turbulent teenage years. She was frequently truant, so much so that she toyed with the idea of dropping out of school. Maybe she wasn’t cut out for education, she wondered. Roberts thought otherwise.Pep talks between the two helped her change the trajectory of her life. She became the first in her family to graduate with bachelor’s and master’s degrees from Cal State Long Beach. She has since worked for ABC News, E! Networks and now freelances for magazines such as Teen Vogue and Spin. Roberts is survived by his wife; his son, Ryan; his daughter, Erin; and four grandchildren.

Irvine vigil for George Floyd: candles, flowers and silence for 8 minutes, 46 seconds - OCRegister

Mission Viejo resident D.J. McAllister, 25, a computer salesman, told the crowd. DaShuana Womack, 22, a Cal State Long Beach student, teared up as she told those gathered that she was one of only five black students during her time University High in Irvine. “I didn’t feel this love at University High but I feel it now. Thank you for standing up for us. I’m so tired of being an advocate for an entire race.” Her mother, Tresi Reed, 49, said she’s a bus driver who moved to Irvine 10 years ago with her four children. Of the four, she worries about her only son the most: “I’m scared much more about him than my daughters when they go out.” In recent days, the crowds in Irvine have varied from a few dozen to 500, drawing local residents as well as from neighboring cities. David Qualm, a physician in San Juan Capistrano, was among the attendees Thursday. “I’m not working today and I just can’t sit still.” Near the vigil, some Woodbridge High School graduates – wearing their red caps and gowns – were taking photos under colorful bougainvillea and reflecting on the moment. “I went to my first protest ever two days ago,” said Leah Hoffpauer. “It’s strange to be graduating during this time.” Fellow Woodbridge graduate Tiffany Nguyen said: “This is a big milestone in our lives, but what is happening right now is a much bigger milestone in history. It’s surreal to be graduating with social injustice and protest as our backdrop.” Woodbridge High students Tiffany Nguyen, Leah Hoffpauer, Andrea de la Cruz and Hannah Cooper were taking graduation photos in Irvine, near a temporary shrine that went up in honor of George Floyd on Thursday, June 4, 2020. It’s a strange time to celebrate their graduation, they said. “I fe...

New Pilot Program Helps Southern California Grow Native Plants - Patch.com

California to your own front yard." So far, the pilot program is available to 60 nurseries in Orange County and Long Beach, and continues to gain interest from surrounding communities. In addition to free staff training – which qualifies for continuing education and professional certification credits – the nurseries will be part of a native plant directory at Calscape.org marketed to millions of people. Program partners, which includes the Municipal Water District of Orange County, will monitor its success to determine whether to expand it to other communities. Interest in native plants has grown significantly over the past few years. Since 2016, traffic to the Native Plant Society's website, Calscape.org, has increased by more than 250 percent, and a 2018 survey of the American Society of Landscape Architects expects native plants to be the most requested type of outdoor project this year. This interest has been driven, in part, by Metropolitan's turf replacement program, which provides consumers up to $10,000 in rebate funding for replacing their grass with native plants. People also increasingly understand the essential role native plants play in the ecosystem, attracting and helping sustain wildlife and pollinators such as bees and butterflies, whose populations are diminishing, according to the California Native Plant Society. ### About the Metropolitan Water District The Metropolitan Water District of Southern California is a state-established cooperative that delivers water to 26 member agencies serving 19 million people in six counties. The district imports water from the Colorado River and Northern California to supplement local supplies, and helps develop increased water conservation, recycling, storage and other resource-management programs. About the California Native Plant Society The California Native Plant Society is a statewide organization that advances the understanding, appreciation, and protection of California's native plants and habitats through science, education, horticulture, and conservation. CNPS has more than 70,000 fans and supporters, and 35 chapters promoting its mission throughout California and Baja California. About the Moulton Niguel Water District Moulton Niguel Water District, a co-sponsor and early founder of the Calscape Nursery Program, delivers high-quality drinking water, recycled water and wastewater services to customers in Laguna Niguel, Aliso Viejo, Mission Viejo, Laguna Hills, Dana Point, and San Juan Capistrano.
