Newport Beach voterswill be deciding in Junewhether or not they wantto elect their mayors, fol-lowing a contentious,hours-long hearing and aclose vote by the CityCouncil on Tuesday night.

The council approvedadding a charter amend-ment to the upcomingJune primary in a 4-3 vote,with Mayor Brad Averyand Councilwomen DianeDixon and Joy Brennerdissenting.

The “Elect Our Mayor”ballot initiative was intro-duced to the general pub-lic in September.

The proposed charteramendment would makethe City Council positionof mayor an electable po-sition along with othercouncil seats.

Currently, the role islargely ceremonial andthe mayor is named bycouncil members for a ro-tating, one-year term eachDecember.

The members of thecouncil are voted in at-large, but represent spe-cific districts.

If approved by voters inJune, the existing practice

will be abandoned and amayor will be elected bythe populace to serve amaximum of two, four-year terms.

That person would notbe able to run for a coun-cil seat after serving asmayor, according toCouncilman Will O’Neill,who is spearheading thecampaign.

To get the item on theballot, O’Neill and his vol-unteers would have beenrequired to gather 9,000verifiable signatures fromNewport Beach voters.

That is no longer neces-sary with the council ac-tion taken Tuesday night.

O’Neill said in a textWednesday that volun-teers were on track tomeet their original goal,but that they would nowpivot to a campaign.

Councilman NoahBlom said during themeeting that he broughtthe matter to the councildais because he saw con-tention rising within thecity on the idea of electinga mayor.

“Most people that aren’tinvolved in politics in thiscity think we actually electour mayor. They don’tknow that it’s just ap-pointed up here on thedais. I didn’t before I ranfor City Council,” Blomsaid. “... but the truth iswhen the city’s running

“Our kids, our choice!”chanted parents to a chorusof car horns blaring pastthe corner of Baker andBear Street on Tuesday, justan hour before the New-port-Mesa Unified SchoolDistrict board of trusteeswould call their regularboard meeting to session.

Some waved signs, whileone woman walked up anddown the sidewalk with anAmerican flag in tow.

A few children were run-ning back and forth be-tween the crowd gatheredin front of the district’s of-fice, a familiar sight andgathering place for discon-tent Newport-Mesa parentsto voice their objections tomandates handed down byGov. Gavin Newsom. Be-fore, the issue was masksand when it was thatschool-age children wouldbe brought back into the

classroom.Tuesday’s demonstration

was over vaccines.Earlier this month, New-

som announced a state-wide COVID-19 vaccinationrequirement for all publicand private schoolchildren.

That order would affectall students in grades seventhrough 12, beginning withthe school term after theU.S. Food and Drug Admin-istration fully approved thevaccine for children ages 12and older. Younger students

would be phased with vac-cine approvals.

Costa Mesa resident andorganizer Henny Abrahamsaid the impetus for theprotest Tuesday was in re-sponse to a Food and DrugAdministration advisorypanel vote to recommendchild-sized doses of thePfizer and BioNTech vac-cine for children ages 5 to11.

The FDA is not bound bythe recommendations ofthe advisory body and is ex-

pected to make their owndecision in the comingdays.

“We just want to makesure that there is freedomof choice. At this point, it’snot about being vaccinatedor not being vaccinated. It’sthat the parents are theones that get to choosewhat to do,” Abraham said.“It’s not the schools’ job. It’snot the state’s job.”

“Like the smell of ourmother’s skin, our landstays with us.”

So begins the openinglines of “Immigrant’s Song,”a poem penned by OrangeCoast College alum Fede-rico De Palma that recentlyearned the HuntingtonBeach resident several note-worthy distinctions.

A 37-year-old soccercoach whose family is Ital-ian but who was born inBuenos Aires and spent thefirst 14 years of his life therebefore himself moving toItaly, De Palma came to theUnited States in 2013 withhis wife. They were insearch of new horizons.

He coached club soccerfor years and eventuallytook a position coachingvarsity soccer, cross-coun-try and track and field atGlen A. Wilson High Schoolin Hacienda Heights, wherehe quickly developed abond with students andlearned he had a knack forteaching.

“I discovered the pleasureof working with kids — itwas just phenomenal,” herecalled in a recent inter-view. “My friend told me,

whatever you do it’s impor-tant for you to be in a class-room, because that’s whereyou can help kids.”

De Palma came to OrangeCoast College in 2019 andimmediately began earningcredits toward becoming ateacher. He joined Phi ThetaKappa, an internationalhonor society for two-yearcolleges, looking for anychance to connect and net-

work with others during atime of pandemic closures.

As he worked, attendedschool and raised a new-born son Dylan with wifeSilvia, De Palma wrote po-etry in English, his third lan-guage after Italian andSpanish, as a personal proj-ect. He had no idea his writ-ings would ever gain himrecognition.

“I never expected my po-

etry, quite honestly, wouldwin an award,” he said. “Es-pecially they’re being inEnglish. It’s not my first lan-guage — it’s not even mysecond.”

Yet, that’s precisely whathappened. Earlier this year,De Palma learned of “NotaBene,” an annual literaryjournal of juried writings

beautifully and wonder-fully, that’s not the biggestconcern. The biggest con-cern is your family, yourbusiness, your community.

“I love how many letterscame in on both sides ofthis. It was amazing to seethe bubbles pull up in ouremails ... but they were thesame on either side,” Blomsaid. “Everyone had anopinion on something likethis and when everyonehas an opinion on some-thing, it makes me realizethen that we should allhave an opinion.”

Residents spoke for atleast two hours on theitem, but responses to thedecision to the ballot mea-sure was evenly split onboth sides.

Some argued in favor ofputting the item to theballot, maintaining that ifresidents objected to itthat it wouldn’t pass and

the matter would be put torest.

Others said they feltthere wasn’t a need for itand some objected to thecurrent writing of themeasure as written.

Dixon said she andother members of thecouncil received a numberof letters arguing the issuefrom both sides.

“A common thread run-ning through all this dis-cussion tonight is ‘Let ourvoices be heard and let’svote.’ I could not agreemore emphatically, butlet’s be informed on whatwe are voting on,” saidDixon, who argued fortransparency.

She said the wording ofthe measure hadn’t beenweighed in on by mem-bers of the public. “Lock,stock and barrel — thisproposed change is set inconcrete. No change, noalteration, no public inputon the content.”

Dixon added that shedid not feel the “Elect Our

Mayor” initiative was froma “groundswell of commu-nity activism” like theGreenlight Initiative,which was passed in 2000.

She made a motion tohalt the item and create acitizen’s committee forgeneral city charter re-form, including the directelection of the mayor.

Brenner agreed withDixon, saying she doesn’tfeel the proposed measureis ready to appear on aballot.

If the measure passesnext year with the majorityof Newport Beach voterschoosing to directly votefor mayor, city spokesmanJohn Pope said the may-oral election would thentake place in November2024.

The filing period wouldbe expected to open inJuly and close in August2024, the same such win-dow for council elections.

from PTK students acrossthe globe. Eager to engagein honor society life, hesubmitted five poems forconsideration.

“Immigrant’s Song” wasnot only selected among440 entries for the 2021publication, but was recog-nized as the most outstand-ing poem, which earned DePalma a $1,000 scholarshipand led to his being namedthe society’s InternationalPoet Laureate, a new dis-tinction created this year.

Phi Theta Kappa Presi-dent and Chief ExecutiveDr. Lynn Tincher-Ladnerexplained in an email “NotaBene” provides a nationalplatform for authors toshare their work with awider audience. She calledDe Palma’s poem “a movingexample of the talent thatour nation’s communitycollege students possess.”

“Students like Federicomake me proud to serve inthis role,” she continued.

“Not only is he bright, moti-vated and hardworking, heis an eloquent storyteller —he represents the very bestof Phi Theta Kappa.”

De Palma said “Immi-grant’s Song” came to himas he watched his sonsleeping and realized theUnited States would be hischild’s homeland. In a mo-ment, he was struck by thethought that he and his sonhad different native ties.

“I was just looking athim, and I was missinghome,” he recalled. “I neverknew before you could feelso sad and happy at thesame time, that you couldbe feeling away from home… and feeling out of place,but also be exactly whereyou need to be.”

It’s not dissimilar to theexperience his own father,who grew up in Italy butraised a family on foreignshores, must have had rais-ing him, De Palma sur-mises.

“My dad must have feltlike that looking at me,” hesaid. “I was the son born animmigrant in Argentina —

so it was interesting to seehow that cycle was goingfor us and my family.”

Now studying at UCI andmajoring in Spanish with aminor in education, DePalma is staying involvedwith the OCC campus inCosta Mesa, where he plansto take French classes.

Those who know him,like retired Wilson HighSchool athletic directorMark Fessenden, who sawDe Palma’s talent coachingstudents and encouragedhim to pursue education asa profession, say the sky’sthe limit.

“Coaching is just teach-ing on the field, and he wasconsistent beyond belief,he was fair and had a greatsense of sportsmanshipand doing the right thing,”Fessenden said. “He under-stands it’s not all about thescore — it’s about character,integrity and a work ethic.

“I realized after seeing hischaracter that this is a spe-cial individual.”

eligible population havingreceived at least one dose,”Gov. Gavin Newsom saidin a statement Friday. “To-day’s Western States Scien-tific Safety Review Work-group recommendationon booster shots will helpkeep the momentum go-ing as we enter the wintermonths.

“Through our invest-ments in targeted out-reach and robust commu-nity-based partnerships,our work continues toreach the hardest-hit com-munities. Vaccines arehow we end this pan-demic.

“I encourage all eligibleCalifornians to visitmyturn.ca.gov to schedulean appointment for theirfirst dose or find a boostershot to keep themselvesand their communityhealthy.”

The work group previ-ously recommended abooster dose for Pfizervaccine recipients in at-risk groups (seniors and

adults with underlyinghealth conditions) thatwere at least six monthsremoved from their initialvaccine series.

Orange County resi-dents can check with theirlocal pharmacy regardingvaccine availability.

Appointments can bescheduled by going tovaccines.gov, myturn.ca.gov or othena.com. Thevaccines are free.

Transportation to a vac-cine clinic and home ap-pointments are also avail-able to those who needthem.

Upon filling out thequestionnaire assessing anindividual’s eligibility toreceive the vaccine, a listof nearby locations offer-ing vaccine appointmentswill be provided.

The Orange CountyHealth Care Agency pro-vided a free mobile vacci-nation clinic at GoldenWest College on Wednes-day afternoon.

Huntington Beach CityCouncilman Dan Kalmickwas among those who vis-ited the clinic to receive anadditional vaccine dose.

He said that he wasready to “jump at” thechance to afford himselfand his family additionalprotection.

“I got the vaccine,”Kalmick said. “I’m a publicofficial, and so I’m aroundmore people than I’d becomfortable with nor-mally. I have a 2-year-olddaughter who can’t getvaccinated yet, so I’m try-ing to take as much pre-cautions as I can.”

Anna Kuner of West-minster said that she cameto the clinic with a coupleof relatives after herdaughter contractedCOVID-19 while on tourwith her rock band YYNOTin New York.

“My daughter cameback with COVID, so wejust decided as soon as wegot out of quarantine, wewere going to come andget the booster because weall didn’t get COVID fromher,” Kuner said. “We’rejust being grateful andcoming and getting theboosters.”

first ... and last line of deci-sion,” Abraham said. “Mostof us here are not anti-vaxxers. My kids are fullyvaccinated with the provenvaccines. But at this time ifwe feel uncomfortable andwe want to wait, it shouldn’tbe forced upon anyone andthat element of choiceshould never be takenaway.”

Abraham said she felt itwas unfortunate that thematter has been politicized.She said the people gath-ered Tuesday all love theirpublic schools, but that ifparents felt that theyweren’t being heard by theirschools they would pulltheir children out of them.

Abraham made such adecision for her own chil-dren last month, removingthem from Woodland Ele-mentary because she feltshe couldn’t get an answerfrom the district on the vac-cine requirements. She iscurrently homeschoolingher children.

Other parents held simi-lar contentions about thevaccine order. DonnellCsanyi said she came out toprotest the order becauseshe believed there wasn’tenough time or researchput into the vaccine.

“To put [the vaccine] intoour children is just not ac-ceptable to me,” Csanyisaid.

“There’s never been avaccine ever that’s takenless than four years andthey’re trying to put this outin less than a year. Theyhave no idea what the long-term effects are, so I’m hereto fight for that because Idon’t co-parent with thegovernment.”

Kelly Muniz, a DavisMagnet School parent, saidshe was concerned abouther two children beingforced to be vaccinated andthat parents should havehad the choice to decide.

Her daughter, Maya Mu-niz, 10, said she didn’t knowwhat the long-term effectsof the vaccine on her bodywould be.

Maya said that shedoesn’t like wearing masksand didn’t understand whyshe, earlier this year,needed to wear a mask out-doors on campus. Districtofficials said masks are stillrequired to be worn insidethe classroom.

“There’s a lot of thingsthat can happen to ourbodies and stuff,” Mayasaid. “I don’t think [the vac-cine is] a good idea.”

One passerby objected tothe rally, calling for parents

to protect their children byvaccinating them whenthey were able.

Carrie Rivera and Shan-non ElyMcGregor bothpulled their children out ofthe district, but said theywent to the rally to showtheir support. Rivera ob-jected to the district’s cur-riculum and said politicswere being brought intoclassrooms.

Rivera enrolled her twochildren in the Cloud Cam-pus last year, but trans-ferred them to CavalryChapel Christian Schoolthis year. ElyMcGregor’schildren are currentlyhomeschooled.

“After being exposed to[the curriculum] and hear-ing a lot of things in themedia about what’s goingon in public schools, itwoke me up,” Rivera said.

“There’s been talk aboutkids getting vaccinated atschool and I’m not OK withthat. I want more controlover my child, so I put mychild into a Christian pri-vate school because Iwanted them to learn morevalues of God.”

The two agreed it washard to pull their studentsout of the district, sayingthat the public schools aregood. But, Rivera said, shedidn’t want to be at themercy of a state school any-more.

District spokeswomanAnnette Franco said thevaccines are not currently arequirement of their staff orof their students and thereare still unanswered ques-tions that remain. Employ-ees are still able to testweekly for COVID-19 in lieuof being vaccinated. How-ever, the district does nothave the authority to man-date vaccinations.

“I understand that thereare strong and varyingemotions in our communi-ty about the potential re-quirement, but this is notcurrently a requirement,”said Newport-Mesa UnifiedSupt. Wesley Smith.

“This also is not some-thing that our school dis-trict or Board of Educationhas the authority to man-date,” Smith said.

“However, all school dis-tricts are required to abideby state requirements orface substantial legal, fi-nancial, and other risks. Iappreciate hearing fromour community and amhopeful that together wewill continue to keepschools open, offering in-person instructionthroughout the schoolyear.”
