For the family of
traffic accident victim

Story by OtRl~ER GOFFARD
Photos by DON LEAOt
Last month, Gerald and
Judith Black receiVed the
kind of call that every par-
ent dreads. A doctor in another
state was saying, •Get here as
quick as you can. We clon't
know if he'll make it through
the night.•
Their son, 2?-year-old James
Black of Costa Mesa, lay in a
coma after an accident involv·
ing a suspected drunken driver.
He had suffered severe head
trauma, and he seemed close to
death.
•w e believed the doctors,
that there wasn't a chance he
would come out of it,~ said
Gerald, 53, explaining that he
new down immediately with his
wife from their home in Ore-
gon.
·we were totally willing to
accept that we'd had 27 years
with our son ... I came down
with really no hope.•
But James Black is healing.
Today, Christmas· Day, marks
the 45th day since the accident,
and the family is spending it in
a recovery room at the brain
injury unit of St. Jude's Medical
Center in Fullerton.

In stitches
•For five local girls, a
doll-sewing project turned
into a Teat-tabor of love.
By Marissa Espino, Daily Pilot
F ive Kaiser Elementary
six:th~g:raders devoted six
Sundays, their care and
sewing skill.S to making Christ-
mas a bit brighter for five less-
privileged girls.
The five Kaiser students
sewed together stulf ed dolls
with button eyes, curly hair and
stitched-on smiles, and today
will give the buggable originals
to the Orange Coast Interfaith
Shelter in Costa Mesa.
The sewing project began
when 11-year-old Rachel Fur·
man of Newport Beach decided
she wanted to start a girls' club
during the summer as a fun way
to get her friends together.
•1 just decided I wanted to
make a litUe club," Rachel said.

A Christmas tale about
a real Sweetie of a . guy
I
W riting a column for
· Christmas morning is no
plece of cake. There is
an almost unlimited number of
ways to go wrong. Uslng Christ-
mas to make political points, for
example. Or satirizing well-
meaning" Christmas letters. Or
railing at the over-commercial-
ization of a religious holiday. Or
remembering your favorite gifts -
for the 11th time.
Rather than fall into any of
those traps, let me tell you a little
Christmas story about a man
named Joe Swedie. I don't think
a Christmas has passed in the
last 40 years that I haven't
thought about him. More than
~~=~i~l'· ,~_ I~ I epftbriiized-the ttue
essence of Christmas: the spirit of
selfless giving and love.
I met Joe Swedie in the sum-
mer of 1956 when an editor at
the Saturday Evening Post -for
whom I then wrote frequently -
told me that the Post was looking
for a Christmas story. He sent me
a clipping from an International
Harvester internal magazine
aboutatoolcribattendantatone
of its factories who spent all his
spare time and money showing
. movies to kids in Chicago hospi-
tals.
The clipping was accompa-
nied by a cryptic note saying, in
cynical editorial patois: •You
might want to check this guy out
and see if he's for real.•
I did, and he was.
Joe Swedie was a middle-
aged bachelor who had been a
GI in France in World War II.
There were a lot of French
orphans then, whose parents had
been killed in the war, and Joe -
who was an orphan himself -
discovered that be could bring
them a few hours of blessed for-
getfulness by showing movies
supplied to his company for R&R.
He never forgot the pain those
children brought to his movies
and the joy with which they left.
So when he got home, he
looked for children who were
hurting and discovered them in a
multitude of hospitals in the
Chicago area. Joe spent bis vet-
eran's bonus on a movie projec-

movies he could afford. Then he
set up a regular evening and
weekend schedule of movies for
kids in hospitals. Within a few
months he was known as M Uncle
Joe" and even more welcome
than Santa Claus.
He had been doing this for
about five years when I first
made his roilnds with him. I
looked for a selfish angle -atten-
tion, admiration, sainthood -and
there was none. Joe's pa}t was in
the faces of the children when he
appeared in their wards. That
was very real. And that was
enough.
My article about Joe appeared
in the Christmas issue of the Post
that year. But our friendship con-
tinued the rest of his life.
Whenever bis rounds took him
to a hospital near my home in
suburban Chicago, he would
stop, no matter how late, and we
would get our kids out of bed to
watch Joe's movie on our living
room wall.
Several months after the Post
story appeared, I got a call from
Ralph Edwards, whose MThis Is
Your Life" was one of the top-
rated shows on television. He
told me he was considering
doing a show on Joe and wanted
to know what !Jilts should be
presented on camera. I told him
that Joe was driving a car with
220,000 miles on it, held together
by baling wire and threatening
to break down any moment. I
also gave him some other ideas.
I was with Joe when the
Edwards people burst in on him
at one of his hospitals and did
the show. Joe was pleased but
not overwhelmed. He haq other
children to reach that night. On
camera, he was given the keys to
a new car and a year's supply of
toys for his kids -among many
other things.
I didn't see him for some
weeks. Then he stopped at our
house one night, still driving the
baling-wire Chevy. When I
asked him why he wasn't driving
his new car, he said they had
never given it to him -only emp-
ty promises when he called to ,
'loa abofi i So l estianed-b:inJi... • ""'.r -qu a15out the other gifts he had been
given on camera, and virtually
none of them -¢eluding the toys
for his kids -had been delivered.
I was outraged, but Joe was
philosophical, almost indifferent.
"If they don't want to give me
these things,• he said, ~that's
OK. I was doing all right before. I
still am."
l called Ralph Edwards, then
flew to Los Angeles to review a
tape of the show with him. He
said Joe should have called him;
l said that isn't the way Joe oper-
ated, and Edwards should have
made sure the gifts were deliv-
ered.
I called the car manufacturer
and the toy company. The latter
had a lawyer call back to say I
was threatening them. Maybe I
was. At any rate, Joe got his car,
and a few days before the follow-
ing Christmas, he phoned me
very early one morning to say
there was a large truck dumping
toys in his front yard. His kids
did very well that Christmas.
Whenever I think I'm too tired
or too poor or too stressed out to
be giving-especially at Christ-
mas -I remember Joe Swedie
pulling up in front of my house in
his beat-up Chevy and lugging
his projector up our front steps.
The people who tried to
exploit him never laid a glove on
him. And his Chevy always
looked like a team of reindeer to
me. Still does.

From the 'Class
of '96 yearbook
George Yardley was always somewhat of a
flamboyant player, so it's probably no coincidence
that he was born in Hollywood, California, the home of stars. ·
For those enthralled with today's modem game, the
name George Yardley certainly isn't household. But for
those who followed basketball in the 1950s and have a
historical interest. Yardley was truly a star and an
offensive-minded player with a knack for scoring.
Yardley enjoyed a fruitful seven-year professional
career, one that saw him appear in six All-Star games
and average nearly 20 points per ~me (9,963, 19.2
ppg). The 6-foot-5 springly-legged jump-shooting
forward played for Fort Wayne, Detrort and Syracuse.
His Fort Wayne team twice reached the NBA Finals,
losing in the 1955 finals to Syracuse in seven games. .
Yardley's most significant accomplishment. however,
occurred in the 1957-58 season when he became the
first pla)'er in NBA history to score 2,000 points in one
season (2,001), breaking the 1,932-point record held by
George Mikan. That season, Yardley averaged 27 .8 ppg
and 10.7 rpg. He shot over 80 percent from the free
throw line and was a First-Team All-NBA selection.
Yardley was named to the league's Second-Team in
the 1956-57 season. Following a productive, three-year
career at Stanford (11 .5 ppg), Yardley joined the Pistons
in 1953 after playing one season of AAU ball and
serving in the military for two seasons.
At Stanford Yardley was called •Yardbird. because of
the frequent chores he was assigned to complete by his
fraternity brothers. The name was later shortened to
·Bird.·
The game's first real •Bird• was a dutch playoff ·
performer as wefl, averaging 20.3 ppg in 46 games.
Teammates and counterparts called Yardley a •st0r1ng
macttine, • a player that needed constant defensive
attention.

The gasps, however, soon melted as George went about chaJming
them into submission.
Regardless of the subject or how much someone might disagree
with Yardley's assessment, they'd still find themselves hopelessly
siding with him in laughter.
And that was probably the thing which Yardley brought forth
more than any other.
The sheer enjoyment of feeling good, laughing and enjoying the
day.
When days are constantly filled with the ups and sometimes
terrible downs, George Yardley's ability to stay the course with the
happiest of dispositions, was a breath of fresh air.
Some things stick, for good.
Like some of the Olympiads ... '32 was Los Angeles, '36 Berlin, '84
Los Angeles.
And locally, '49 will always be the 8-1 heartbreak Sailors, and '94
will always be the 14-0 miracle kids at Newport Harbor.
And '96 will always be the year of King Georgie and his journey to
Springfield.
Va.ngua.nts see a winniri.g combination1
• Southern California college
banking on a solid foundation.
By Jim Walters, Daily Pilot
COSTA MESA -Gasps of surprise, shock
and joy filled the gym all at once as the
women's basketball team from Southern
: California College went through a recent
.. workout.
The object of this attention, sophomore
guard Stephanie Sick, was turning a few
shades of red at the clamor. She had just
inbounded the ball using a no-look pass and J
from the tumult it was obvious this was a new
weapon being added to her arsenal.
Evep first-year bead coach Russ Davis joined
• in, walking up toward her using his left hand as
: an imaginary camera l~ while turning an i imaginary crank in his right.
: "Way to go Stepb, • be said as Sick looked
: down at the floor self-consciously, continuing to • • smile.
So far this season things have pretty much
been going the Vanguards' way. After
struggling to finish 10 games under .500 last
season, they're off to a 8-2 start as they prepare
for the Cal Baptist Tourney set to begin Jan. 2.
In many ways the team is a reflection of its
diverse coaching·staff.
First there is Davis who moved up from
assistant coach when Dean Cooper retired after
last season. A sweater-, khakis-and boots-type
of guy who drives a jeep. He's a fire eater who
enjoys the running game. He's not afraid to
speak his mind and bas a bushel of technical
fouls in bis wake to prove it.
At times, he's prone to over-extend himself.
Last season was a good example as he dashed
back and forth from the sec campus to
Estancia High where he was also the coach of
the girls team. Davis resigned from Estancia
after last season when he was promoted to
SCC's bead coach.
He's engaged to bis girllriend Sharon
Brazell.
Assistant Ollie Martin is most at home in a
suit and tie. Uke Davis, he comes from a very
successful high school coaching background.
His Ocean View girls teams were perennial CIF
qualifiers.
Martin, who works for Southern California
Gas Co., resigned last season when he was
transferred to Glendale. lime constraints made
it impossible to coach on the high school level,
but the ability to hold late-night practices made sec a viable alternative.
He and hb wUe Sheri have three chlldren -
sons Brice and Ryan (ages 23 and 21,
respectively) and a 20-year-old daughter,
Courtney.
Martin, who drtves a newer-model Honda
Accord, is the conservative in the group. It's
probably not surprising that def~e is his
specialty: ...
Davis' other assistmt, Sherwin Durham calls
Martin "Big Money."
Martin calls Durham "Easy Money," which is
fitting. The nickname is a melding of the other
two coaches' styles. "Easy" being Davis and
"Money" being Martin.
Durham wears sweaters like Davis, but dress
pants like Martin. He drives a Chevy Blazer (a
jeep heritage with a family-vehicle practicality).
He and his wife Janice also have three
children like Martin, but their oldest. Ernesto, is
only 5. Ballerina is 3 and Eboni is 1.
Ob\tiously Durham sees value in both
philosophies and has no problem combining the
best of the two.
"Sherwin is fh between both of us,· Davis
said.
The former Harlem Globetrotter and SCC
grad joined the coaching staff with only one
years experience as an assistant at Villa Park
High. He says he's just happy to be learning
about the profession from both of bis coaching
cohorts.
A divers~ group to be sure, but with a
common philosophy to be successful.
"After I was hired, these were my first two
calls,• Davis said. "1 bad coached against Ollie
and I knew what be could do. Sherwin bad
helped out with a summer basketball camp and
be had asked me to give him a call if I had an
opening.
"I'm lucky to have these guys. I'm a coach
who likes to delegate. They both have a lot of
talent and I'm going to gi\re them
responsibilities. I'm not dumb.•
• His assistants went through a baptism of
fire in Tuesday's, 65-51, home win over La
Verne.
"At halftime Russ said be was feeling dizzy
and was having some chest pains,• Martin said.
"The trainers insisted he go to the hospital.
Sherwin and I took over."
"I told the trainers I just wanted to lie down
and rest for awhile, but they
wouldn't hear it," Davis said. "They rushed
me into Hoag and started attaching all these
monitors to my chest. They said I had all the
classic signs of a heart attack.
"There was no heart damage, but I'll be in
for aome tUrther tests to see U I have an artery
dogged, I got my weke-..p call from God.• lt'fbe gtr1a responded well,• Martin Mid.
•we told them what was going on and they just'
kept at lt. •
After taking a 33-19 lead at the half, the two
teams battled to a 32-all stand.still in the secon•
stanza.
• There have been some interesting twists tn
all three coaches' careers. When Durbam was a
freshman at Bolsa Grande High, Martin was the
sophomore coach.
•1 went ftom the freshmen to the JV so I
skipped over him,• Durham said. "but I knew
him."
In his high school days, Martin bad pla,yed at
La Quinta for sec men's coach Bill Reynolds.
"It's funny how things wo1k out,• Martin
said. "Bill gave me my first job after I finished
playing at Chapman. He bad moved over to
Bolsa Grande and asked me to come on.•
Dutham played two years at Golden W~t
College before flntsbb:lg his' collegiate career at
SCC under Reynolds. He thought he bad the
skills to play pro ball and was offered a unique
way to showcase bis talent
·one day Meadowlark Lemon showed up
on campus to talk and someone recomroended
me to him," Durham said. He spent the next six
yea.rs With Meadowlark's Shooting Stars.
His first pef~e-~~a.s ~~~'l to guard ,,..Pisrol .. l>~l™tirlt'Vfo)i. ·~g"22 ·
years old, it was pretty exciting being with all
these legends,• Durham said. "I bate to say it,
but Maravich scored 16 points on me in less
than three minutes. I finally called 'Switch.'
•Actually, I love telling that story. He was
more than a great scorer. He was a terrific
ballhandler. •
Durham also played with Curly Neal, one of •
the ballhandler-extraordinaires the
Globetrotters are famous for. He missed playing
with Marcus Haynes. ·
Not surprisingly, Durham was a dribbling
expert, too. After practice, be showed off some
of his ballhandling skills. The team gave him a
standing 0 .
• ·1 miss the girls over at Estancia, I still see
some of their games," Davis said. "But I know
I'm in the right place and I couldn't be happier.
"This team is learning how to win.•
Davis pointed to Dominguez Hills as a
benchmark of the team's progress.
"Last year they beat us by 40 points or
something,• he said. "This year, we beat them,
44-41. That's a great turnaround. We have a
good chemistry .and the girls really work hard.
Llk.e I said, I couldn't be happier.•
