South Orange County Community College District officials and spiritual leaders gathered Thursday for a breakfast called by embattled Trustee Steven Frogue as a way to heal the board's divisiveness of the past few years. Frogue, who was the subject of a failed recall attempt in the fall, suggested the breakfast idea at the district's February board meeting and envisioned it as one in a series of such gatherings throughout the year, said Pam Zanelli, a district spokeswoman.

Amid a burgeoning controversy over college Trustee Steven J. Frogue earlier this year, one of his ardent supporters stood during a meeting recess and loudly voiced a prediction even more chilling than the frosty air outside. "We're headed for a bloody race war in this country," said the supporter, a friend of people with ties to white supremacists, "and I can't wait."

The campaign to oust community college trustee Steven J. Frogue has failed for lack of valid signatures on the recall petitions, county election officials said Thursday. "I'm disappointed but I'm not shocked," said Peggy Thomas, director of the committee formed last year to recall Frogue, a trustee with the South Orange County Community College District. "If the worst thing to come out of this is that we've raised awareness of Mr. Frogue and his dealings, then we've been very successful."

Leaders of an effort to oust Steven J. Frogue from his college board seat said they will file petitions today to force a recall election, while the embattled trustee charged that the broad coalition arrayed against him is engaged in a campaign of "lies, smears and demagoguery." A recall committee official said Monday that more than 50,000 signatures will be filed before today's 5 p.m. deadline for returning recall petitions.

The Orange County Republican Party and the Democratic Foundation of Orange County hope to raise $40,000 this month to help recall South County college district Trustee Steven J. Frogue. The money will come from a bipartisan fund-raiser Sept. 19 at the Hyatt Regency Irvine, said county GOP Chairman Michael Schroeder. Guests will be charged $100 each. Frogue, accused of making anti-Semitic and racist remarks, has been the target of a recall attempt for more than a year.
