Old Towne Orange PLAZAREVIEW
From the Publisher As we head into September and October here in Orange, it’s exciting to know that we will soon be enjoying fall’s many highlights. It’s always a pleasure to see merchant storefronts and resident porches come alive with festive autumn holiday décor. At this time of year, the air is also abuzz with the promise of new beginnings as students head back to school. This year will be even more exhilarating for students and teachers in the Orange Unified School District. Read all about El Modena High School’s brand-new Fred Kelly Stadium and Orange High School’s STEM Complex (pgs. 27-28). Both facilities are ready and wellequipped to help students expand mentally and physically. As students fill the classrooms at Chapman University, there is a new face on campus. Internationally recognized scholar Norma Bouchard recently took the position as Executive Vice President, Provost and Chief Academic Officer. Learn all about Dr. Bouchard in our Building Character at Chapman University column (pgs. 23-24, 28). At the Hilbert Museum of California Art at Chapman University, you’ll find a host of inspiring new exhibits featuring California artists. This includes the work of Henrietta Berk, who we feature as this issue’s Inside Art subject (pgs. 26-27, inside front cover). You’ll also find new exhibits and enlightening programming at the Richard Nixon Library (pgs. 2223), located nearby in Yorba Linda. While the community gears up for an adventurous fall season, it’s also comforting to know that Orange has dedicated personnel working aroundthe-clock to keep the community safe. Read all about the leaders of the Orange Police Department and Orange City Fire Department in this issue (pgs. 14-15). Wishing you a fun fall enjoying all the time-honored traditions of the season.
