The residents in the area of Yorba Street, south of the dog park and east of the landfill area that was considered as the cem- etery site, had joined forces to oppose the project. They collected data, notified the Local Enforcement Agency (LEA) and made public comments at every city council meeting for more than a year. While the City of Orange was moving the cemetery application through its processing cycle, the LEA was firm on the requirements it imposed on the property owner to stabilize the landfill and make it suitable for gravesites. Those requirements were apparently more than the landowner wanted to take on. Celebrants from Carole, Teri, Tracy, Jennifer, Karen and Deborah Lanes enjoyed food, drink, a gam- ing truck and music by City Center. Below from left, is opposition team member Silvia San Nicholas, Fifth District Councilwoman Ana Gutierrez, neighborhood leaders Sharon and Bernie Galasso and kindred spirits from Orange Park Acres Laurel Maldonado and Dru Whitefeather.
