NEWPORT BEACH -After for-
mer school board President Jim de
Boom said he was contemplating
running a write-in campaign against
incumbent City Councilwoman Nor-
ma Glover, she faxed him a letter
IELL CURVE
Was Murphy's
departure a
civil act?
Clarence Turner, who was
mayor when Kevin Murphy was
hired as Newport Beach city
manager, was on his way to a
recent airport committee meet-
ing when he walked past a
newspaper vending machine.
The Pilot headline announcing
the resignation of Murphy
leaped out at him. He bought a
paper and devoured the story, at
first incredulous, then angry.
Very angry.
•1 don't get angry very often
or very easily,• he told me the
other day in his Costa Mesa real
estate office. •But this absolutely
floored me. We were remarkably
lucky to have the continuing ser-
vices of Kevin Murphy, who con-
tributed so very much for so
many years to the well-being of
this city."
It didn't help Turner's state of
mind that Norma Glover -one
of the City Council members
who seemingly lowered the
boom on Murphy -was attend-
ing the same meeting and told
Turner ·1 can't talk about it"
when he asked in a considerable
state of agitation what hap-
pened.
So two weeks later, I was in
Turner's office trying to find
answers to the ~e question
but also to ask what -if any-
thing -we can learn from Mur-
phy's abrupt departure. And
where better to direct that ques-
tion than to Newport Beach's
pre-eminent elder statesman -
in service, that is, not age.
Although he figures Murphy's
resignation is now a •done
thing ~ and he's still mad as hell,
Turner was willing to look
beyond what he considers a seri-
ous -and unnecessary -set-
back to the city to lessons we
might learn. And at the top of
the list, he would suggest that

asking if he would like a seat on

The handwritten letter goes on to
describe the backing Glover has
received in her campaign.
He said he suspects Murphy was in local government.
De{Boom said he considered the

Mesa seeking help from

EUSEGEE
~Pio!
COSTA MESA -Mesa Consolidated
Water District board members today will
discuss whether to hire a firm to help
determine the fate of the long-dormant
San Joaquin Reservoir.
The reservoir was drained in 1993 so a
floating cover could be installed to
improve water quality.
However, that project was thwarted
after a landslide in March 1995 sent a 450-
foot-wide chunk of earth and a good por-
tion of a retaining wall 50 feet into the
reservoir.
Mesa, which owns 20% of the reservoir,
drew $914,800 from its emergency reserve
fund to help pay for $4.4 million in repairs.
Now, Mesa and seven other owners of
the reservoir are trying to figure out what
to qo with the reservoir, located east of
Newport Beach.
"It's a significant asset for Mesa," said
Karl Kemp, the water district's general
manager. •1t also has significant liabili-
ties."
Mesa board members will discuss
whether to hire Bucknam & Associates to
do an engineering and financial study of
the reservoir.
The study will list of options for the dis-
trict. They include allc1t'Png the lrvine
Ranch Water District to use the reservoir
for reclaimed water and enclosing the
reservoir.
Other owners of the reservoir are the
Irvine Ranch Water District, Metropolitan
Water District, South Coast Water District,
Laguna Beach Water District, The Irvine
Co., and the cities of Newport Beach and ~
Huntington Beach.
A joint study by the owners JS possible,
but Mesa should be prepared to do the
study by itself, Kemp said.
Mesa historically has paid about
$100,000 a year to maintain the reservoir.
In addition to repairing the landslide,
Mesa has had to pay about $50,000 a year
to maintain the reservoir wlule it has been
out of service.
A July staff report said maintaining the
reservoir is no longer cost-effective.
"The question is: Do we want to contin-
ue with a reservoir there and if so, what
kind?" Kemp said. "If not, what does that
mean?•
The Mesa Consolidated Water District
board will meet at 7 p.m . at 1965 Placentia

Backers open to talks with foes Suspected car thiefs
arrested after chase~ • South County cities had sent mass mailer inviting
Newport residents to stop city from spending
money on airport fight ~d work together.
JENlFEn RActANO
~fb
NEwpORT BEACH The
city's airport leaders have decided
to ta~ South County dtles up on
their offer of a new "good neigh~
bor" policy in the fight over a
commercial airport at the El Toro
Marine Corps Air Station. '
Tom Naughton, president of
the Airport Working Group, sent a
letter Tuesday to Paul Eckles,
executive director of the El Toro
Reuse Planning Authority, in
response to a recent mass mailing
by the coalition of seven South
County cities.
"We take your letter as a good
faith expression of ETRPA's desire
to work with us and the city of
Newport Beach on soluti6ns that
make sense for the region," the
letter says. "We would be
alarmed if th.is was just another
publicity stunt by your organiza-
tion."
The Airport Working Group
has offered to form two joint pow-
ers authorities to deal with two
issues involved in the reuse of El
Toro:
• The first joint powers author-
ity Would be made u~ of Newport
Beach, Irvine, l.!ake Forest,
Orange County, 1).lstin anc;l Ana-
heim -those co'rnmunities with
the greatest sta,ke in the future of
aviation in th~ region. The pur-
pose ·of the group would be to
operate Jobb Wayne Airport and
El Toro as a two-airport system.
• A separate authority -made
up of all 31 cities and the county
-would deal with development
of the non-aviation land at El Toro
to maximize revenue frol'.Jl the
land. The money would be divid-
ed among cities and school dis-
tricts in the county.
"I think it's a very promising
concept,• said Mayor Tom
Edwards, who compared the
process to one child cutting a
piece of pie in half and letting the
other child choose f~t. "I: keeps
everyone honest."
But could the two sides, which
have fought each other tooth and
nail for the past two years, really
work it out?
Edwards said they can as long

as each side is willing to put every
option on the table, participate in
third-party fact finding, and be.
willing to accept whatever the
outcome may be.
But Eckles is not so sure. He
said he just received Naughton's
letter Wednesday, and he is still
work)pg' on the group's next
move.
"We certainly are not interest-
ed in a Joint Powers Authority
that would have. the objective of
building an airport at El To'ro, • he·
said. ·we are interested in the
opportunity to s~lve this problem
without causing aggravation tp
either side of the county."
Right now, Eckles said he
thinks it's impossible for El Toro to
be used at all for aviation and not
be delrimental to South County
cities.
"We can't believe there aren't
other solutions since there are air-
ports in neighboring counties that
want to expand," Eckles said.
"We don't tlunk Orange County
will go down the tubes without an
airport at El Toro or an expanded
John W~yne."
One of those proposed solu-
tions is a high-speed rail trans-
portation system to outlying air-
ports. Accord.irtg to Naughton's
letter, airport proponents are not
interested in th.at sofotion, given
its history of failure in Orange
County.
While the sides may still be far
from consensus, it appears as lf
they are at least inching toward
one another.
"We are serious about out

Accused sex offender
seeks dismissal of case
I I Schools crack ·down on absences
•James Lee Crummel's attorney made motion to
dismiss charges that he molested a 16-year-old.
C1t1 (, fll'>UM. I ·' IWf Pb ' . NEWPORT BEACH .f. Con-
victed sex attender J~es l;-ee
Crummel was relumcdjto Orange
County on Wedncsda¥ lo be pros-
ecuted on charges of molesting a
, 16-year-old boy almost four yea.rs
ago.
Prosecutors have been dwait-
ing C rummel's extradition from
San Bernardino County, where he
was recently s.entenced to 10
years in state prison for raping a
minor in Big Bear Lake.
Crumrnel, 54, appeared m
Harbor Justice Center on
Wednesday weanng handcuffs
and an orange jumpswt. His
defense attorney, James Chatter-
ton, tiled a motion to dismiss the
case. Chatterton argued that his
client's legal right to a prelinu-
nary hearing within 10 court
dates or 60 calendar days of his
May 28 arraignnymt was violated.
"It's my belief that require-
ment wasn't met in this case,"
Chatterton said.
The prosecution will have an
opportunity to determine whether
there was legal justification for
the delay, but Chatterton said he
believes he has good cause for
the motion to dismiss.
Prosecutors hdve charged
Crummel and Burnell Gordon
Forgey, a prominent Newport
Beach psychiatrist, with 16 counts
of child molestation. Police arrest-
ed Forgey in May alter the victim,
now 19, allegedly told them that
Crummel and Forgey, 80, had sex
with him in Forgey's Newport
Crest condominium several times
between December· 1994 and
May 1995. Crwrunel lived with
Forgey until his arrest on the S~
Bernardino County charges m
May 1997. . . . .
Crurrunel also is awaiting trial
in . Riverside County, where
authorities believe he is responsi-
ble for the murder of Jamey Trot-
ter, a 13-year-old Costa Mesa boy
who disappeared in 1979. Crum-
mel reported finding the child's
remains while hiking near Ortega
Highway in 1990.
Deputy District Attorney
Stephanie Deamon has indicated
that she would like to have one
trial for both Crummel and
Forgey. The new developments
may force Deamon to refile the
case against Crummel before
Sept. 21, when Forgey's trial is
scheduled to begin.
A motions hearing 'was set for
Sept. 2. If Judge Marg~et ~der
son denies the defense s motion to
dismiss the case, a preliminary
hearing may be held on the same
date.

Hats off to the new
columnists in Pilot
What struck me as incredibly
remarkable were the wildly dls-
parate opinions of the local
comrnuruty regarding their
favorite Fred Martin replace-
ment. Discounting their almost
universal love for speedy
Rollerbladers (wink), you can't
ever truly gauge what'U inspire,
anger, titillate or enliven the
day of a Daily Pilot reader, and
they're certainly not shy about
letting you know as we ll.
As a columnist finalist, I
e njoyed my fellow contestants'
unique writing styles and points
of view. I suppose if we all
delighted in the same things in
life, Baskin-Robbins would only
be selling scoops of vanilla.
Congratulations to Steve
Smith and the team of Chrisb.n
Camey and Nancy Gardner. I'd
love to add, with your indul-
ge nce please, that it was a
small, special part of my We
being considered, and a privi-
lege sharing it with all of you
(yes, the embarrassment tool).

Don't turn job center
into private business
Having moved mto Costa
Mesa two years ago, one of the
first things I nobced was the
crowd on 17th Street at the
Jobs Center ri.aborers seek to
block privatization of city JOb
agency," Aug. 13).
When I mquired about the
purpose of it, J thought that it
had to be the most amazingly
simple and socially progresstve
thing that I had heard: to a ctu-
ally use tax money to allow
people an opportunity to put in
an honest day's labor, to pro-
vide a sate environment for
them to actually work and put
food on their families' tables, to
cut through the language and
bureaucracy traps. give these
guys a chance to help local
individuals and industry and
hold onto their self-respect-
all in one fell swoop. Brilliant!
When it came time for our
move last October, I contacted
Christine at the center, and she
explained the "rules" and
booked me three guys, who
showed up on time and put in a
really hard day. My husband
has moved more than 39 times,
and I have moved more than 23
times. We were more than hap-
py with the great job that the
guys did. I followed up with the
center to tell them so. We chose
to book through the center'
because I knew that these guys
needed and wanted to work,
and I felt that they deserved
that opportunity.
As to the allegations made m
·your article regarding the legal
status of these fellows, for heav-
en's sake let's use our heads
about this. The re is no shortage
of jobs in the area that I am
aware of, and every other shop
I pass in tbR neighborhood has
a help wanted sign. These guys
are here and ready to work.
Why not just let them?
As the fellow in your article
said, "lf we had other possibili-
ties, we would not be h ere."
Pledse don't turn the center
over, as the expense involved in
the operauon seems minimal
compared with the welcome
addition these guys make to
our labor force.

Running DUI list has
its pros and cons
Boy are you way off base,
Mike Ballard (Mallbag, #DUJ
list in newspaper is un-Ameri-
can, • Aug. 6). It's un-American
to get behind the wheel of your
car drunk and cause lifelong
pain to a family.
Do you have someone in
your family who was killed or
injured in an accident caused
by a drunken driver? We do.
Our 26-year-old son, Matt,
made the bad choice of getting
into a car with a drunken dri-
ver. He was 19 at the time, and
be suffered a traumatic head
injury by being ejected from
the car. He was in a coma for
three months, m the hospital for
intensive rehabilitabon another
five months and continues
today struggling with his paral-
ysis and cognitive deficits.
He is renunded each day of
how stupid his friend was to get
behind the wheel. He will have
lifelong dlsabilities.
I wish drunken drivers were
listed like sex offenders. Moth-
ers Against Drunk Driving sta-
tistics show someone is killed
by a drunken driver every 32

seconds; 17, 126 m 1996. More
than 1 million llre injured in
alcohol-related crashes.
About two in every five
Americans will be involved in
an alcohol-related crash. In the
past decade, four times as
many Americans died in drunk-
en-drivmg crashes as were
killed in the Vietnam War.
Drunken driving is the
nation's most freque ntly com-
mitted violent crime. And Cali-
fornia leads the nation.
This is why we thank the
Daily Pilot for publishing the
names of people arrest for om
in our community. I think they
should w ear a bumper sticker
on their cars warning of the
danger of having them on the
road. Thank goodness it isn't a
secret. l Jove living behind the
O range Curtain.

This letter is in response lo
the lette r from Mike Ballard
about your DUl arrest list.
When one is in trouble with
the law, the last thing he needs
is to have his name in the
newspaper for a crime which
be has not bee n convicted of.
His driver's license has been
revoked, he's got to find a way
to g el to work {assuming he's
still got a job), he's facing possi-
ble jall tirpe, stlf f fines, Alco-
holic Anonymous meetings,
court heanngs and attorney
fees, and lus tile is probably in
a mess anyway.
Ballard is right. In the United
States, a person charged with a
crime is innocent until proved
guilty in a court of law.
Whal interest is served by
your publishing the names of
those arrested for driving under
the influence?
Deterrence? Too late.
Embarrassment? What's the
point?
Do you think you're provid-
ing a service to the community?
Don't you have anything bet-
ter to pay your employees for,
like reporting some real news?
I've never seen you publish
the names of those acquitted
ofdriving under the influence.
Do you think that's fair?
Ballard must realize, howe v-
er, that there are many •ultra-
conservative ignorant Republi-
cans" behind thls Orange Cur-
tain who do not think that con-
victing someone by tarring and
feathering them in the •town
square" is justice. That's why
we have a jury system. Remem-
ber those juror summonses you
occasionally get in the mail that
you probably try to dodge?
You can add me to your list

I just retilmed to Costa Mesa after
traveling in Europe for three months,
and it's been a llille bit of a culture
shock in a disappointing way ("The
last picture show," Aug. 21). I came
back. from a place where they appre-
ciate culture and character and
things that havo tustory to a place
where they want to make everything
that S4J1\e color of stucco peach.
Finl they tore down the MeN to
put in a Borders. What a joke. The
last thing that Costa Mesa needs, in
my opinion, ls another bookstore-
muaic<Off eehoute. It is kind of
rldicUIOUI.
And now the Port, which was a
greet theater. I saw •Jbe GOdfather•
there on the big ICfeen. I always had
a little bit of faith in Corona del Mar
because J thought it still had 1<>rne
character. But now, I don't know.
My dad says ii you destroy things
that are 50 years old, then how do
you ever have things that are 100
years oldl It's a shame. I'm just glad
that the demolition romm.ittee here
in Costa Mesa. the-make-every-
thing-the-same committee, doesn't
live down the street from the Roman
Forum or the Coliseum.

I grew up in Corona del Mar
about a block and a half from the
Port. I have a lot of fond memories,
childhood memories.
They used to have an Baster egg
hunt along with a Saturday matinee
-ftee movie, just bring two Easter
eggs, and they would bide them
over at the old youth center. And
after the movie, you could go for an
Easter egg hunt.
I bad my first date at the Port

, A few tho~[Jhts
on test scores
1 •.AT ISSl:JE: Locals respond to Standard 9 results.
Of course fluent, English-proficie nt students' scores are .higher "
than the English-only students on the Stanford 9 test, and it .. has ·
nothing to do with the fact that they speak two languages ( New
English speaker!> scored b1gh, •Aug. 5). You had fo read to the end of
the article to get the real picture. . _ .
In order to be classified as English-profioent, the student has to
score above the 36 percentile on a standardized test. Therefore, they
, are representing the top two-thirds of that g~up of students. That's
different from an all-student pot like the English-only group that
includes the bottom third. / .
lf you want to do a fair comparison, compare. the top two-thirds of
English-only students with these English-profic1e nt students and
report on that.
This article served to give people who read only the tro.n_t page the
impression that somehow being bilingual or having had bilingual
education caused students to score high. In fact. bilingual students
have had a multitude of speriaJ services provided them that has been
denied to the bottom third of English-only students.

To imply that the h1gh Stanford 9 tC'sl scores at Andersen and Har·

cannot read to your younger child, it Cdnnot insist that your older .

NANCY BEST

Dorothy Young seems to think that good scores received by
Andersen Elementary students are because of money. I'd like her to
come and explain that to the many families who spend hours in the
classroom free of charge helpmg students. Or explain that to ~e chil-
dren who go home and actually do their homework, read 30 mmutes
a day and don't watch very much television. They are probably
under the asswnption that it is bard work that pays off.
Also, the Spirit Run she refers to is a good example of how three
elementary schools work together to raise money to share. It talces
hundreds of people and hundreds of hours of volunteer work, but it
is successful for all three schools.
Instead of knocking it, s he might try finding something similar for
her own schools.

Newport Beach's investigation
t\aS not been completed and the city
is still trying to decide whether to
bring in outside consultants.
Costa Mesa, on the other hand,
has concluded its mvestigation and
bas determined that the city is not to
blame for flood damage residents
suffered during the El Nino storms,
said Costa Mesa Risk Manager
Karen Adams.
·we weTe able to venfy that the
systems hact been properly main-
tained and a lot of preparation had
been done by Publlt:: Services staff
m cleaning the drains and making
sure they were clear and unob·
structed," Adams said.
Adams said the flooding had
nothing to do with any madequacy
of the city's storm drain system.
"The system was sunply filled,·
Adams said. "There was no place
else for the water to go. The city
could not control that.•

Park in Seabluff Canyon Village
said the city could have reduced the
magnitude of flooding in their
neighborhood.
Residents in the Canyon Park
area filed 14 of the 43 claims. Karen
Hanners lives in Newport Beach,
but her property abuts Canyon Park
and she is taldng her $5,000 case to
small claims court Sept. 8 .
Hanners is the only person to
take her case to court so far, but oth-
ers, including Cheryl KepJer, are
reddy to sue. ,
Kepler cites an engineering
study paid for by her neighborhood
association.. The study, performed
by Javon Consulting Co., said the
city should reimburse residents
because grad.mg done by the' city
contributed to flooding.
"They obviousty didn't grade it
properly because the grading is
causing the water to come into our
homes instead of into the creek
bed,• Kepler said.
Kepler said the city has also
attempted to mitigate the problem
during the last six years.
"Every year l would complain
some more,• Kepler said. "Each
year there was a little more mitiga-
bon. •
Mike Kratzer acknowledges that
there would have been some flood-
ing, but said much of the damage
could have been avoided if the
grading had been done properly,
directing the water to drain m a
path behind the homes in~tead of
through them.
Kratzer and many of his neigh·
bars still have not completed repairs
to their homes.
•rm hesitant about doing it until
they regrade," Kratzer said. "My
life is still in limbo because of this.•
Costa Mesa has retained the ser·
vices of the law firm Woodruff,
Spradlin and Smart to investigate i
flood damage claims. l.
Attorney Dan Spradlin said the
city can sympa~e with residents,
but also has to act in the best inter-
ests of the rest of the citizens.
"The city of Costa Mesa tries to _i,,':::. be proactive in the sense that it the
city believes it has responsibility for
something, the city will step up and
take responsibility," Spradlin said.
But the city does not appear to be \
responsible, Spradlin said.
·1 don't think damage occurred
as a result of any unreasonable con-
duct on the part of the city,•
Spradlin said.

The last two weeks have been a whirlwind

crash course on corruption, politics and money.
The crew has maintained that Mexican offiodls
wanted a bribe before they let them go.
"It's a complete joke,• said Kramer, exuding
no hwnor. "They haven't presented all of our
evidence in court, and the federales didn't
show any surprise about the guns when they
first boarded. It's been sow from the start.•
Kramer has been McClung's right-hand
man during the crisis. When the three men
were initially jailec;i, .Kramer and others stayed
in the jail lobby, bringing fresh f.ood and clean
clothes to their friends. When McClung col-
lapsed in court upon hearing he wouldn't be
freed, Kra.mer slept in a nearby bed in his hos-
pital room. He added 'that McClung is unprov-
ing, but the ordeal hasn't been healthy for bun
"He loves the outdoors ... he practically lives
on that boat," Kramer said. "It's been a lot of
pressure for him. He's used to being in control.
He doesn't have that right now.•

"Dunng the eight years I served as "That citizens need to be more vigi-

"The only people who know,• said
Tumer, "are those who were there when

because this took place in a closed ses-
sion. But I firmly believe that our local
citizens have a right to know why and

potenbdl candidate for her seat does not chartge
that, she Sdld.
"I never knew he wds mterested in municipal
government before that," Glover said.
Mark Petracca, chair of the Department of Pol-
itics and Society dt UCJ, said an incumbent can-
diddte trying to mm.imize competition is not
unusual Ul politics.
What makes th.ts case dlfferent, he said, is the
"prior adversarial context,• meaning de Boom
was think.lng of running because he was angry
with Glover for Murphy's resignation, not
because he had a gene ral mterest in local gov-
ernment.
"What makes it newsworthy is you have a doc-
pmented offer to minimize what is frankly not
much of a threat in electoral politics -a write-in
Campaign," Petracca said.
Petracca sdid another "layer of complexity" in
this cdse is that in Newport Beach, candidates are
elected citywide, but they must live in certain
areds of the aty.
"Not 1ust anybody could challenge her. It
would have to be somebody who had a shot at
taking her out who lives in the same area she
does,• he said. "She understands that if she pre-
vents him from running, the prospect of someone
else stepping forward with the same name recog-
nition who lives in her area is much less."
Jerr Adler, a Long Beach-based political con-
sultant, agreed.
"It appears Ms. Glover is giving the public an
inside look on the real workings of politics," he
said. "This kind of exchange happens all the time
in politics, but what's odd about this is that it's in
writing."
Adler also wondered if the letter could be a
violation of state law.
According to the state elections code section
18205, it is a felony to induce someone to not
become a candidate for public office by offering
money or any "other valuable consideration."
"While I'm certainly not a legal expert, the law
is straightforward and seems to be addressing sit-
uations exactly like the letter in question," he
said. "However, these are very difficult cases to
prosecute because a jury has to be convinced that
there was an intent to induce another person to
quit the race."
According to the code, a conVlction is punish-
able by 16 months to three years in state prison.

THE LETTER FROM GLOVER
The following is Newport Beach City Councilwoman
Norma Glover's letter to Jim de Boom, who was consider-
ing entering the council race as a write-in candidate:
To: Jim de Boom
From: Norma Glover
August 13, 1998
Jim,
I have h eard you are very upset about Kevin Murphy
leaving and you are angry at me. I supported Kevin Mur-
p hy on the Lido Village project. I know he was disap-
pointed he did not get Ute votes for that project but I sup-
ported him. Please talk to me if you want to be Llbrary
Board , Planning Commission or start getting involved in
city governmen t let me know. I have been fortunate to ge t
a great d eal of support and I have raised approximately
$30,t>OO without an opponent. Please talk to me first hand.
.PEEPING
CONTINUED FROM 1
Lyman's is not the first local
case involving the videotaping of
women without their consent. ln
June, Paul Russel was sentenced
to 2 112 years in prison after
police discovered 23 videotapes
at a storage locker that showed
Russel filming into private homes
and public restrooms while
women were changing their
clothes.
In Russel's case, he was con-
victed of prowling on private
property and peeping. Where
Lyman's case differs is that the
three women on the tape were
fully clothed artd he claims he
didn't breach their privacy in a
public place.
