The weekend saw a new front open in the fight over the El Toro airport: the lemonade stand. A group of youngsters in the Crown Valley-Highland area spent Saturday selling cool drinks to raise money for Measure F, the anti-El Toro airport initiative. The children--Luke Chaply, 6, his brother Noah, 4, and neighbors Rianna Somogyi, 6, and her sister Jenelle, 3--said they got a taste of life under an airport when the county tested decibel levels last year. The noise was enough to send them screaming and crying into their rooms, said Luke and Noah’s mother, Susan. And so they decided to do what they can to battle the proposed airport.
