Let me state that Mark Eades worked for The Walt Disney Company for years (1980 through 1993, and knows the company better than most.

>>Mark received his bachelor’s degree in Film and Communications from California State University, Fullerton in 1979, shortly afterwards he started at Walt Disney Productions in the mailroom, the classic beginning for the film business.
He quickly moved into the Animation Department as a production assistant, then the Editorial Department where he was named Post-Production Supervisor for the EPCOT Center project.
After EPCOT Center opened, WED Enterprises executives Randy Bright and Marty Sklar asked Mark to transfer to their company as a production manager on film-related projects for Disney’s theme parks.
Within a year Mark was named the company’s first ever show producer for World Premiere Circlevision project at Disneyland, that included the Circlevision 360 film “American Journeys” and a preshow film called “All Because Man Wanted to Fly.”
During this time he was asked to research using simulators in attractions at Disney’s theme parks.
This led to the original groundbreaking attraction “Star Tours” on which Mark was part of the development team and one of its producers. He also was tasked with finding the voice of “Rex” for the attraction that opened in 1987.
Around this time WED Enterprises was renamed Walt Disney Imagineering.
Other projects included the Living Seas Pavilion at EPCOT Center and The Wonders of Life Pavilion, both of which had several multi-media shows he produced.
For the Disney/MGM Studios, in his role as casting director, found all the sound-alike voices for the movie stars represented in the Great Movie Ride.
Next, he was assigned to work with Jim Henson on “Muppet*Vision 3D,” another groundbreaking multi-media show that included Audio-Animatronics figures, the first ever use of in-theater effects like water and bubbles, along with a live walk-around character.
Next, he was named show producer for “From Time to Time” – A multi-media attraction for Euro Disneyland – now known as Disneyland Paris.
Mark’s final completed project for Walt Disney Imagineering was an update to the Golden Dream sequence of EPCOT Center’s American Adventure. He was working on the development of “Honey, I Shrunk the Audience” when he made the decision to leave Disney.
After leaving Disney, Mark continued to work in the theme park industry. He worked on “EFX” for the MGM Grand as a 3D consultant for the films in the original version of the show.
He worked on the concept development of T23D overseeing the planning and layout for the 3-screen 70mm 3D film project for Universal Studios<<
Mr. Eades "retired" from the Register earlier this year.
Robert Niles is not a reporter for the OCR, he is a contributing writer, which means he writes and edits his own articles and the Register publish them. This is becoming more common in print media as a way to cut costs.
As for Dr. Moreno, as a Anaheim voter, I disagree with a LOT of his actions, and how he is out for himself, and not for the residents of Anaheim. Here is one article from today which shows how out of touch he is.

>>As council watchers know, Councilman Jose F. Moreno never refers to “homeless people” or “the homeless,” but always uses the phrase “people in the condition of homelessness.” In this video, Moreno explains why he employs this clumsy euphemism:
“We call it the condition of homelessness because once you say ‘the homeless people’ you categorize them. You “other” them.”
Moreno was speaking at a
New American Leaders Project event in Washington, DC, to a roomful of other radical progressives to whom such that sounds like statements of the obvious. To ordinary folks who haven’t had their common sense educated out of them, it sounds like over-sensitive, politically-correct mumbo-jumbo.
When progressives talk about “the rich,” for example, does that “other” them? Furthermore, Moreno’s objection that saying “the homeless” means one is”categorizing” them rings hollow given his support for California Voting Rights Act-driven council districts, which are based upon categorizing voters by race and ethnicity.
Moreno then makes a startling statement:
“They’re in a condition that is man-made. And I say that explicitly: man-made. Uh, by men who’ve made decisions about our economies and the way that our democracy will not work for some, but for others.”
How’s that? Homeless individuals bear no responsibility for their condition? They’re simply victims of the machinations of the powerful? That makes no sense. Life isn’t the unfolding of some great, grinding Marxian dialectic.
Everyone’s state in the life is, to at least some extent, the sum of the good and bad decisions and choices we make. Some are luckier than others, have greater opportunities than others, work harder and form better habits than others. Some people squander every advantage and go nowhere, or worse. Others have no advantages and manage to achieve everything.
Many of the homeless are in that condition because they’re addicted to alcohol or drugs. A goodly number are criminals recently released from incarceration. Those are the results of bad choices. Shadowy men on corporate boards or from the councils of government didn’t do that to them.<<
I will admit, I plan to work to help someone else win when the District 3 election is held next November. I have not decided who to back yet. (I live in District 2, but still can provide my time and money to defeat Dr. Moreno).
