' In general, Kat is a delightful, 60-ish fellow who, when I called Jtim, couldn't imagine why any- body \_\'Ould want tp write about him. I said I did, because bis ~aughter Alexa's teacher at Lin- ~oln School, Jeanne Johnson, told me about the Sbitanisbi family's recent trip to Coopers- town to see Kat's exhibit. "Aw, we just went back for my daughter,• Kat said. "She really loves baseball. My pic- ture and stuff being there is no big deal." His shyness and reluctance to talk were genuine, but I, persist- ed and he relented. The fact that he sells fishhooks for a liv- ing made Kat even more inter- esting. (His Owner American Corp. is U.S. marketer for a line of high-tech, high-quality fish- hooks that are ·as much surgical instruments¥ they are fish- catchers.) Kat was one of five bQys raised on a farm in Madera, a Route 99 whistle-stop near Pres- no. "When we weren't in school or working on the farm, we played ball," he said. He went on to play shortstop and second base at Fresno •tred martin State, which has historical.1¥ ranked high in college baseball. But not high enough to make it into the College World Series. ·we always got beat by ·sc, • Kat said. "Darn right you did,• chimed in Eileen Shitanishi, a loyal Tro- jan. Afte.r graduating from Fres- no, Kat was drafted by the Boston Red Sox, the tint step of a five-year tour in the minor leagues. He began where most young players do, down in the basement of baseball with a oass A team. For Kat, this was Oneonta, N.Y. As he moved up to AA and then AAA teams, Kat played in Greenville, S.C.; Winston- Salem, N.C.; Pittsfield, Mass.; and Pawtucket, R.I. And he had a wonderful time, even if he didn't make it up to The Show. "I was always with a bunch of young guys who loved the game,• Kat recalls. "We played seriously, but everything else was a lark, even the bus rides. And let me tell you, we took 1-o- n-g bus rides." 1 wondered what it was like for an American of Japanese descent in the South during the late '60s. "I never had any problems," Kat said. "I walked down the street and people didn't know what I was.• Ballp.uks were still segregat- ed in those days. Kat remem- bers that Atrican-Amertca.n fans in most parks w~re cloistered along the third•base line, near the dugout. "I was the only guy on the field who wasn't white, so the black fans loved me. I was their hero. Then a young black guy joined the team and all of a sud- den I was a nobody again.• Kat Shitanisbi was born in a detention camp near Fresno but remembers very little of his ear- ly years. He doesn't even remember learning to speak Japanese. ."But I must have,• he said, because years later, when he went on bis first business trip to Japan, "I all of a sudden found myself speaking and under- standing Japanese." What Kat does recall is the positive attitude ot b1I parent.I as they rebuilt their lives after World warn. "We did lose what we bad - everything. But I.never beard • • any aying or wbining about ·: what happened. My panmtt Jlllll: worked hard and ma.de a won-• derful lite for their sons. lbey were very proud people." Going from a World War D detention camp to the Baseball : Hall of Fame is something to bQ. • proud of, no matter how much Kat shrugs it off. "They decided to dedicate a section of the Hall of Pame to Japanese Americans in base-• ball. In the late '60s and early '70s, I was the only Japanese guy playing in the pros, so that's why I'm at Cooperstown.• Yes, Kat Shitanishi is there, and several hundred million others of us are not. • RU:D MARTIN'S column runs everi Thursday and Saturday. • HAAGEN·DAZ'S Ice Cream OIOOllehom s 13Ra1Jon REG.

SAl\JRDAY, MARCH 21, 1998 I put on a shirt and tie and • went over to the UCI campus to tee Al Gore on Priday. pie timing wasn't great. His Speech threatened to conflict with the start of the Duke-Syra- c'u.se NCAA game, and bis sub- ject matter -the need tor bet- ter management in government -.. wasn't exactly the hottest tQpic in Washington these days. But it isn't every day a live vice president comes our way - especially one who is breathing heavily to move up a notch - and I was curious to see if be really comes aa'oss as dull as bis political enemies allege. His stated purpose was to give the keynote speech at a UCI Town Hall convention. But f.he centerpiece of bis visit was a tip of the vice-presidential bat to friend and former associate Roger Johnson -an Orange County entrepreneur and for- mer U.S. General Services Administration Director -for ponying up a half-million bucks to est4blish a chair at UCI to try to get some management sense into the way things are done in Washington. This struck me as an admirable resolve somewhat on the same order of dlfficulty u getting the Angels into the World Series. But after three frequently frustrating years try- ing to pound sense Into the operations of the GSA, Johnson and bis wile, Janice, figure<! it was worth a shot through acad- emia -in this instance, a chair in the UCI social ecology department -and put their money where their mouths were, an act for which Gore properly congratulated them. There is always the dabger with visiting royalty that any substance that might be present is completely lost in the produc- tion surrounding the event. Even the visit of a vice presi- dent. But that didn't happen. There were the usual precau- tions. Everyone was frisked joseph n. bell before entering the Bren Cen- ter, and Secret Service types were prominently in view. But the overflow audience was seat- ed quickly, the speeches were refreshingly brief, and Gore vir- tually leaped into the audience to press flesh when the event was over. It even almost started on time -a dangerous prece- denf for a politician to set. ,, Putting reading and writing in their scripts By Jenifer Ragland, Daily Pilot NEWPORT BEACH -In a small room in the public library ,today, adults who are trying to improve their literacy skills will get ·a taste of what it's like to be a play- wright.

Her playmates were cbildren of similar status. er world was quite protected - until she contracted polio. Parrow began her visit with the local crowd introducing the haunting remembrance of her bout with the disease as a child and how it has colored her world mto adulthood. "I have perceived the earth as I the Titanic going down -a litany of loss, estrangement, failed dreams, de pression and death," said the star, who found fame as a teenager on "Peyton Place" and went on to become a movie star via the now classic cult film, "Rosemary's Baby.• • -Fanow wrote a book titled, r.:'What Falls Away," which e~counts a life filled with tremen- The Medlcal Center for Aesthetic Xcellence CALL MON-FRI (714) 754-5880 'A MESA • PALM DESERT b.w. cook dous loss and great triumph, pro- fessionally and peISOnally. While relating life to the downing of the Titanic seems qwle dramatic, Parrow was nei- ther melancholy or depressing. Rather, she was demonstrably inspirational and uplifting. She quoted Graham Green. stating, "A door opens and lets the future in.• And surely she has had her share of open and dosed doors in a lifetime that has included relationships with men such as Andre Prevln. Prank Sinatra and Woody Allen. She told the lovely ladies and gentlemen that had come, brought together by event chairs Fran Mulvania, Pab1da Lane and Judy Shepard, that the only thing a person can really choose in life is attitude. Her young life had been inex- orably changed by near death - the Beverly Hills childhood of swimming pools and parties replaced by the desire to make a difference in life. A few years later, while she was on location in Europe with her parents while her father, John Farrow, was niaking a film1 news came that her adored 19- year-old brother had been ldlled. Again, life changed in an instant. Farrow turned to her reli- gion. Roman Catholld.sm, and she decided she was going to become a Ca.nnelite nun. tnti- mately, it wasn't meant to be. The desire to seek a spiritual path, however, set a tone and a course for her life. Her brother's death sent her father into a tailspin. He drank heavily, end be never regained the momentum of his successful career. The family was coming apart. Then, suddenly, John Farrow died. Mia was still a young girl. Her mother, Maureen O'Sulll- van Parrow, moved the children to New York, where she went back to work in the theater. The older children, including Mia, knew at once that they had to carry their own weight in the family, and in the world. There was no time to delay growing up. Mia, having aban- doned her former plans of becoming a nun, chose to follow family tradition and enter the world of theater.

The mugs are n ot ju.st for show -they belong to regular customers who employ- ees there greet by name. The coffee house, a tiny place tucked away on 31st Street in Newport Beach, is not a place you might stumble across. But it's still managed to develop a loyal clientele of locals in its 14 years of business. "We're off the beaten path," owner Steve Lewis said. "This is almost a locals-only place." But strangers are also wel- comed with smiles, and for a lit- tle place, Alta Coffee packs in a lot of entertainment. Poetry night, which is in its eighth year, is held on the sec- ond Wednesday of each month. One poet is featured, and those who wish to read their own poetry can sign up for the open mike. "That's the busiest night of the month," said employee April Cubbage, who has worked at Alta for three years. "People really ctig it." Acoustic rock, jazz, swing, Celtic music and more is per- formed Thursdays through Satur- days. The Irish-Celtic band Dulci- mania is a big draw, as is local guilanst Tom Long, Cubbage said. Originally meant to be a wholesale coffee warehouse and roasting company, Alta was opened to the public in 1984 after the fragrance of roasting beans brought customers clamor- ing for freshly brewed coffee. Lewis bought the coffee shop, where his wile was a regular, from its original' owners in 1991. Today the coffee is roasted at Alta Coffee Warehouse and Roasting Co. in Costa Mesa. Inside, the wood-paneled room holds barstool and table seating for about 30 people, and an adjacent patio is open for those who wish to sit outside. The beverage menu has the standard mochas, lattes and teas, with prices on the low side (most under $3) of the bigger chains. Juices and smoothies are offered. Omelets, muffins, croissants and hot cakes are available for breakfast, which is served from 6 a.m. to 11 a.m.; lunch is served until 3 p.m .

Everyone assumes money must be going to schools other than his own. is time to face the fact that we need a bond issue or parcel tax to pay for the des- perately needed repairs in our schools. We cannot afford to ignore the need or assume the money will come from another source. We get what we pay for, and right now, we are not valuing education enough to pay what is·needed. Private fund-raising has helped, but it cannot be expected to fill all the needs. We pay a fraction of the taxes other states do to support education, and it is obvious that we are getting exactly what we've paid for. need a major overhaul -not just to make them functional and to improve the quality of education, but to make them safe. The problem is district-wide. While I am seldom in favor of increas- ing taxes, there is no better investment in our future than a school bond that will update our campuses for the new millen- nium. Our kids are our future. Let's belly up to a bond. No other measure will result in the large amount of funding we require. It is the responsible thing to do.

In addition, the proposed tower would be three stories taller than the four·ltory llmit that's allowed by the general plan on all com- mardal litet south of the San Dtago freeway, Robimon said. The developer reportedly plans to use the existing build- ing for a hotel lobby and some guut rooms, while the new tow- er would have more guest rooms, ballrooms and banquet fadlitles. . "There's no name q.n (the pro- posed hotel), but it would proba- bly be a destination resort, something like a Marriott or Hyatt." Robinson said.

By Barry Faulkner, Daily Pilot CE.RRITOS -Corona del Mar High Principal Don Martin will argue at a Monday hearing before the tIF Southern Section commissioner that Orange Coun- ty principals did not follow procedure in the near 13-month releaguing process that culminated with the retention of the present league con.figurations for the 1998-99 sd).ool year. Commissioner Dean Crowley to throw out the current status quo arrangement Monday at the section office. If so, according to Martin, Crowley would then call for county principals to reconvene and create a new proposal. Crowley, who left Tuesday to attend the CIF State Basketball Championships in Sacramento, could not be reached for comment. Martin believes county principals vio- lated due process, as well as the Brown Act, when representatives from the 10 county leagues voted, 8-1 with one abstention at the Jan. 29 council meeting, to defeat a proposal all county principals had endorsed by a 42-18 vote on Jan. 8. That proposal would have placed CdM in the PCL. Immediately following the 8-1-1 vote, a proposal to retain status quo was pre- sented and J>8$Sed by league representa- tives, forcing Martin to propose an impro- vised appeal at the same meeting. Martin, who has garnered support from 11 of 12 principals from the Sea View and Pacific Coast leagues (with Aliso Niguel's Steven Lawrence the lone dissenter) to change places with Aliso, will argue that the 8-1-1 vote against the existing proposal took place without proper discussion by all county princi- pals. Re pre sen ta lives from each of the coun- ty's 10 leagues have also been invited to participate in the 2:30 p.m. "There was never a meeting where all the principals sat and Martin, whose initial appeal to have CdM enter the Pacific Coast League, with current PCL member Aliso Niguel replacing the Sea Kings in the Sea View League, was unanimously defeated at the Jan. 29 Southern Section Council meeting, will hope to convince Section P A ROCH l/\L S NOTHING PERSONAL •..

Vlstttng Santa Margarita prevailed, 6-0. The return of COWlty parochial schools to the parochial area would trigger another releaguing process for competition begin- ning the fall of 1999. It would also, local athletic directors believe, extinguish the flashpoint of continued contro- versy which h~ embroiled releaguing since the parochial schools entered county leagues in 1992. Corona del Mar High is cur- rently appealing a decision by Orange County prindpals to maintain current league align- ments for the 1998-99 school year. If unsuccessful, the Sea Kings would remain in the Sea View League, where Back Bay rival· NeWpe>rt Harbor is already resigned to having to compete against .

By Barry Faulkner, Daily Pilot CORONA DEL MAR -Faced with the opportunity to make a statement, opening the Sea View League baseball season Fri- day against defending champion Santa Margarita High, host Corona del Mar yielded the floor. "We made about seven or eight mental errors and that can't happen,• said flrst- year coach Scott Emme, whose Sea Kings made three of their first six outs on the base paths, yielded an unearned run in the first, and never recovered in a 6..0 loss to the Eagles. "We gave guys some direction and then they'd just freeze up and do the oppo$ite, • Emme said. ·But that will change." Not a lot has changed for Santa Mar- garita, ranked sixth in Orange County and loaded with heavy-hitting returners including designated hitter Andy Hopper and senior third baseman Randall Shel- ley. Hopper capped a three-run third for the visitors with a two-run, inside-the- park homer down the right-field line, en route to a 3-for-3 day with three RBI. liopper's arcing fly ball landed near the fence, just beyond the reach of pursu- ing right fielder 1im Thurman, who lost his balance, tumbling into the fence and striking his head. Temporarily .dazed, Thurman took a few seconds to retrieve the ball, as Hopper sped around the bases to make it a four-run lead. Thurman cut his head, requiring stitches, but left the game under his own power. Shelley belted a solo homer to open the fifth, but the CdM pitching combina- tion of Matt Larson and Ryan Lewis did enough to keep the Sea Kings in the game.

"(Servite Principal) Ray Dunne is one of the best administrators I've worked with and Santa Mar- garita has some great people, too. But I believe parochial schools should have their own CIF (sec- tion). I think too much is made of strength (of program); they're JUSt different. If they want to play public schools in preseason games, that would be fine, but I'd advise my coaches. not to play them on the varsity level.

"He's kind of our heert and sole," said Glenn, who relies on Nelson to trigger a balanced and experienced attack that blew away the competition at the March 16-17 Tournament of Champions, hosted by San Diego's Francis Parker School. "He's worked hard on some things I've talked with him about and he did a great job la.st weekend," Glenn said of the tournament MVP. Nelson's tournament heroics, as well as a sparkling effort in a four-game season-opening nonleague victory over Mira Costa March 10, helped him earn Daily Pilot Athlete of the Week recognition. "It was a pretty awesome week for our team,• Nelson said. •I think our team this year is a lot closer and we're more oonfident We didn't go down to San Diego to finish second or third.• Nelson, who grew up around the sport (his older sister Tracy Schriber was an All-CIP standout at Corona del Mar who went on to play at UCLA), began playing at the dub level in seventh grade. Though be fancied himself an outside bitter, Balboa Bay Club Coach Charlie Brande, now running the men's program at UCI, quickly steered Nelson toward the center of the offense. "Charlie told me right away I was playing setter and that was pretty much it,• Nelson recalled. "I've grown to love it, because I love being in charge.· "You have to figure a lot of things out in a very short period of time and it's something that takes a long time to get good at,• Glenn said. "It's not like football, when you get a huddle between plays, or basketball, when you can dribble the ball up court and get the play from the coach. I will signal in stuff dwing between points. but I tell him less and less about who to set.· Nelson said it's an acquired knowledge and a stint last summer at the U.S. Olympic Training Cent,_.-in Colorado Springs greatly accelerated hJs Leaming curve. "That was a pretty high level of volleyball and everything was much quicke.r. When I came back, I thought I was 10 times better.· Nelson acknowledges the challenge of distributing to bis tea.m's strength and the opponents' weakness is aided by his team's exceptional passing and experience at the net. "You have to use your mind, your peripheral vision, watch the hitters and the blockers, and know which hitters are hot at the time. You get used to it, though. And our hitters are pretty smart, so it's easy to trust them. They see the defense too.• What Harbor hitters see less of is Nelson's temper. •He's had a tendency to get frustrated with himself,· Glenn said. "I talked to Travis before this season about making everyone around him better. That means more than just playing well, but having a positive attitude and being a leader.• Nelson, who is being sought by USC and Long Beach State, but may wind up at Golden West College, said he's making strides.
