COSTA MESA

Park work continues through week’s rain

Despite the wet weather, work is continues on the long-awaited

skate park across from TeWinkle Park. Skate park workers Rafeal de

Jesus, Jose Vasquez, Raul Leal and Mario Rodriquez -- rain or no rain

-- last week laid concrete for the 15,000-square-foot park.

The park is scheduled to be finished in May and open to the public

in June.

* Community activist and former Costa Mesa Mayor Arlene Schafer

was named the 2005 woman of the year by 68th District Assemblyman Van

Tran on Wednesday. Tran recognized Schafer for her abundant civic

activities, which include her work as president of the Coast Mesa

Sanitary District board of directors and service on 21 other boards

and commissions.
