A news report in The Orange County Register stated that 105 people were killed in Orange County car crashes in 2010. That is 49 less traffic fatalities than reported for the previous year.

Columbus Tustin, a Northern California carriage maker purchased 1,300 acres of what had been the Rancho Santiago de Santa Ana for the price of one dollar and fifty cents per acre. Mr. Tustin attempted to create “Tustin City,” but sales of home sites were slow, and in the early 1870s he ended up giving free lots to anyone who would build a home.

By the turn of the century, groves of apricots and walnuts were gradually being replaced by the more profitable Valencia oranges. During World War II, three military bases were established in nearby bean fields and unincorporated areas in proximity to Tustin including the navy’s Lighter-Than-Air Base (where the huge hangers housed coast-patrolling blimps). Literally, there were only about 900 residents in the city until the building boom of the mid century.

In the 1950s, Tustin’s growth began in earnest. The orchards were developed by builders and by 1970 the population had jumped to 32,000. Growth was a painful process as houses replaced orange groves. Tract after tract replaced grove after grove.

Studies have shown that 77% of students from kindergarten to twelfth grade have experienced some form of bullying – whether verbal, physical, or psychological.

What this means for you – as a parent – is that it needs to be addressed just as you’d address any developmental issue with your children. If ignored, bullying can lead to self-confidence issues, depression, and even angry responses that can get your children in trouble rather than the child doing the bullying.
