Good morning and welcome to the TimesOC newsletter.
It’s Wednesday, April 14. I’m Carol Cormaci, bringing you the latest roundup of Orange County news and events.
During the middle of the day last Sunday, while most Orange County residents were going about their usual routines, Pier Plaza in Huntington Beach was teeming for a few hours with people drawn in, some by curiosity but mostly in solidarity with people of color after word spread that a “White Lives Matter” rally was planned.
A team of my colleagues Hayley Smith, Ruben Vives, Priscella Vega, Hannah Fry and Matt Szabo covered the event, which turned out to be largely a grassroots counter protest to the white supremacist’s’ planned rally. Not only did media keep an eye on the action, police helicopters and drones hovered above throughout. It was the kind of scene, with the potential for chaos, that Huntington Beach has witnessed all too many times over the years.

The Laguna Art Museum has chosen Julie Perlin Lee as its next executive director.
A national search to fill the position was conducted by the museum following the retirement of Malcolm Warner, who served in the role from January 2012 through December of last year.
“I got excited because I could see that there was a board unified in their vision to increase the recognition and visibility of the museum,” Lee said of joining the Laguna Art Museum. “Having that sort of energy in a board was exciting for me.”
