For those like 21-year-old Adam Shandeling, the message is this: The waves are npe to surf. Sbandeling, a Huntington Beach resident, trundled bis 9-foot McConnell board down to the Newport shores Wednesday to catch waves that many locals said were the biggest they've seen all year, with faces up to 12 feet high.

ROAD RAGE: Same lady - who for obvious reasons I won't name -also told me about a man in a Cadillac who started screaming at her ahd her hus- band as they drove up Harbor Boulevard. The guy cursed, swerved his car and generally acted like a maniac. They turned into the Fecko parking lot, but the freak f~ed. He tailed them through the lot and beck out onto Halt>or.

The city has already taken steps toward making trail improvements, one of the master plan's main aspects. Among the suggestions made by Qty Council members was for no internal fencing placed in the park, particularly around the area where some vernal pools will be preserved. Councilwoman Heather Somers suggested restrooms for areas near proposed tot lots. Keith Van Holt, community ser- vices director, said the park will need to be developed in several phases as funding becomes avail- able.

Nearly all the trustees said they want~ to spend more time collecting data and input before making crucial decisions such as reopening schools and changing boundary lines. "ff we have to take the time to make a decision, we take the time to make the decision," board President Martha Flour said. Among the trustees priorities: DANA BLACK: • Create a consistent curricu- lum across the district. • Replace old, inefficient kitchen appli- . ances. • Increase shared deci- ;sion-making. Black said having differ- ent reading and Dana Black math programs at different schools confuses par- ents, teachers and students.

Firefighters fought all after- noon and into the evening Wednesday to contain a brush- fire in Crystal Cove State Park that has consumed at least 15 acres. The operation involved more than 100 firefighters -includ- ing some from the Newport Beach Fire Department and inmate band crews from the James A. MUSick honor farm - as well as three water-dropping helicopters and three fixed-wing air tankers, said Orange County Fire Authority spokesma.p Den- nis Shell. Firefighters became' aware of the fire in a remote, hilly area or the park around 1 :43 p.m. when residents of the El Moro trailer park miles away complained of smoke, authorities said. While the fire had only spread to 15 confirmed acres by late Wednesday afternoon, some reports listed the damage at up ·to 75 acres, authorities said. Authorities said two hand crew members complained of heat exhaustion, but the fire caused no serious injuries and did not threat- en homes in the area. Fire does extensive damage to condo A fire did serious damage to a Summerwind Court condomini- um in Newport Beach on Tues- day night before firefighters from the Newport Beach and Costa Mesa fire departments could ~guisb the blaze. Around 8:22 p.m . neighbors dialed 911 after spotting flames shooting from the lower balcony of No. 12 Summerwind Court, then attempted to contain the bld.Ze with a garden hose until firefighters could arrive, said Newport Beach Fire Department Lt John Blauer. The fire did $200,000 damage to the condo and consumed $$0,000 worth of property before it was extinguished at 8:49 p.m., Blauer said. One firefighter suffered minor bums, but no one was seriously hurt, Blauer said. He said the cause of the fire is being investi- gated. -Compiled by Christopher Goffard BEAUTY STORE South Coast Plaza Sears Wing, Lower Level Summer Savin~s August is fudge & JOIC<J Month ~~;~~~aaa-or;~1~r------------1 Soz.

State offici~~ deyeloper consider building resort at Ccystal Cove • Plans, which could include 90 cottages, a restaurant, nature center and swimming pools. would displace residents who occupy some of the existing bungalows. By Tim Grenda, Daily Pflot CRYSTAL COVE -State offi- cials and a private developer are close to sealing a deal to build a beach resort on part of Crystal Cove State Park. an agreement that, after decades of living in lim- bo, could finally spell the end for residents of the cove's quaint beach bungalows. The area in question is a nar- row stretch of beach nestled between Corona del Mar and Laguna Beach that was pur- chased by the state in 1979 and designated as a state park. The picturesque beach is dot- ted with about 45 cottages, most of which were built in the 1920s and 1930s, and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Some of the cottages are still in generally good shape and occu- pied, but others have fallen into disrepair and stand abandoned. The Crystal Cove resort that state officials envision is a nearly 17-acre, $23 million development with up to 90 renovated beach cottages as the centerpiece. A restaurant, nature center and swimming pools might also be included in the development, ofti- oals SaJd. Plans are to rent the renovated beach cottages for between $100 and $400 a night. Such a resort built on public land could raise about $1 million a year for the state, and the Crystal Cove Preservation Partners likely CALL 979-8330 would run the resort on a 55-year concessions contract issued by the state, officials said. •w e hope to get tt all wrapped up by the end of the mon~. •.said State Parks and Recreation spokesman Ken Colombini. Once a resort plan is inked. a long series of public bearings, environmental impact studies and other procedures will begin, Colombini said. The developer would first inspect the land and determine which cottages can be saved and renovated for the beach resort and which would have to be razed. After that, the project would be finalized, and an environmental impact report would be conduct- ed, followed by public bearings. Because the proposed devel- opment was not part of the state park's general plan adopted in 1982, that document would have to be amended, a process that requires additional public hear- ings. And because the proposed project is within the jurisdiction of the California Coastal Commis- sion, that state agency would have to sign off on any Crystal Cove development project, Colombini said. All the review and public hear- ings figure to push any construc- tion gTOund breaking -and the eviction of area residents -back at least two years, Colombini said.

"The happiest days of his life was when he was doing something for someone else," his wife, Jody, said. Clarke will be the second person acknowledged at the city's "Circle of Service,· which is designed to honor residents for their longtime service to others in the com- munity.

Those honored are nominated by membe:rs of the community and approved by the City Council. Clarke, who died four years ago, was norrunated by the Planning Commission for his 23 years of service to the community as well as his involvement in various other organizations, including helping establish a home for young pregnant mothers in Orange.

Bennett's next move is an auto- matic appeal to the state surreme Court. Along with 156 o San Quentin's 466 Death Row inmates, however, Bennett is awaiting the appointment of a lawyer to carry it out. As a recent arrival, he's near the bottom of the list. "At this point we're still looking for attorneys to take cases where the judgment of death occurred in 1993, • says Robert Reichman, who monitors appeals for the state Supreme ·court, which is chaJged with finding counsel for death· penalty defendants. "There are just too many death verdicts and not enough lawyer.> who want ·to take them,• says Deputy Public Derender Leonard Gumlia, who represented Bennett at trial.

Last year, Congress passed legis· lation seeking· to speed up . the appeals process by limiting habeas proceedings. But with some of its provisions tied up in court. the ulti· mate effect in California remains a· matter of speculation, Ross said.

MAfNSTAGE THURSDAY, AUGUST 7, 1997 A birthday bash fit for a queen or at I0ast a special lady; T he local glltterati.d.escend- ed on The Ritz, Newport Beach. to open the new garden room of Hans Prager and Phil erowtey's posh eatery. Tue occuinn was sped.al. One of the all-around good guys fn town and plumber to the stars, Ward Chamberlin, summoned 'a couple hundred good-looking mends to dinner in honor of his sweet wife, Mar- go. It was her birthday, although nowhere in the room was there any e\fidence of age. Every- thing was new and fresh, very Newport Beach indeed. Not a hint of imperfection. Even the plants, recently installed around the perimeter of the garden portico extending off the south wing of the restaurant f adng Fashion Island, were perfect. Not a leaf out of place. A perfect setting for a woman known for her attention to detail. Margo Chamberlin, active social voice in the com- munity, chair of numerous events for numerous causes, is the kind of woman who never forgets a birthday, or a thank you card for a gesture or a job well done. Barbara Venezia, outspoken color commentator on local society (as well as TV hostess and partner of the man ... John Crean on cable's "At Home On The Range•) described Cham- berlin. "You know what iJ special about Margo?" Venezia asked. w She has a kind heart. She is considerate of everyone, con- cerned for the feelings of everyone. Several years ago, when I first met her, we were talking small talk about things like our birthdays. The next time my birthday rolled around, Margo was the first to call with good wishes. She makes a point of remembering,• said the red- head who bas enough energy to replace the reactors at San Onofre. Venezia had come to wish Margo good health and happi- ness. Tum about is fair play. On the arm of husband Stan Tkaczyk, entrepreneur of trash (a head honcho at Rainbow Dis- posal), Venezia schmingled (that's schmoozed and mingled) with pals glam Glo Gellman (yes, the glam Glo was wearing St. John and daddy's diamonds) and Irv Gellman. Gellman, an author, is extremely busy pouring over research files heretofore never poured over, at the Nixon ,... -. . ~-. . .. et . ' --- - Library. The historian and author is prepping a draft of his next book, the first in a three volume series on Richard Nixon. Reported word in liter- ary circles is that publishers are bidding on the project with advances climbing. Move over Dean Koontz. Meanwhile the guest of hon- or and her mate were greeting Orange County Performing Arts Center Chairman Mark Chapin Johnson and his gorgeous bride, Barbara. Like Venezia. Barbara Johnson is a no-non- sense, tell it like it is kind of gal. She's pretty and she's hon- est, and she's also a worker. Birthday gal Chamberlin and Johnson have teamed up to benefit local children'• charities u well as numerou.1 support groups for the Center. It is a winning combtnation. Their combined efforts have railed countless thousands for good causes. On this night, there would be no cause, but plenty of effect. Local doers like Ron and Unda Beale, always front and center to help the community ln every area, Mary Lou and Scott Hornsby, Diane MacDonald, the ravishing Pritz.I Wllllams, Bob and Peggy Goldwater Clay, elegant Ruty Hood. Paul and Vlrgtnla Knott Bender, and super sexy Cerlle Peeley with handsome husband Larry dressed to kill in a puce cash- mere sport jacket and striped slacks. all toasted the good friends and the good We in Newport Beach. There was a good deal of toasting. As the Ritz waiter staff served caviar eggs and vodka, followed by champagne and filet over portobello mushroom caps. Margo and Ward table hopped on the new Ritz portico to thank their friends for com- ing to the lavish dinner. Lavish is something of an understatement. Ward Cham- berlin spared no expense and Hans Prager went to the outer limit to open his new dining room that will forever be remembered by the &ocial crowd on the premiere evening, as the Margo Portico. Phil Crowley oversaw the affair with great style and with the same kind of attention to detail that suited his guest of honor.

THUMDAV, AUGUST 7, 1997 ... , It Me1D1 surfers aren't the only J 00. catcbing waves these days as 9vktencect by tbe popularity ot a '-=-ese restaurant in Costa Sushi Wave, a small. store-front restaW"ant with standard Japanese decol' and plenty ot employees to tend to its large volume of CUS· touiers, sometimes draws more people than a lbuth swell day aJ 1he Wedge. Located in an • uhlikely area for ·a bustling restaurant -a semi-isolated strip mall on Newport Boulevard - the restaurant's simple facade is a glowing welcome mat. Ll.ke most Japanese restaurants, Sushi Wave offers sushi and sashi- mi. as well as cooked Japanese t:lishes. And, like all sushi restau- rants, the sushi is less expensive when you sit at a table. • ' But the charm and ambiance at · the sushi bar makes it worth the extra few dollars. It just seems more fun and relaxed when you're at the bar, interacting with the chefs and oth- er customers. It's also a comfortable place to sit alone, but I stopped by with my brother and a friend on a recent Friday rught and the place was " )lopping. "' .. We had to wait about 30 min- ·utes for a seat at the bar, but when .. :we sat down we were greeted by a , .friendly chef and a polite "thank you• for having to wait so long. We were instantly brought a rt>ld salmon and cucumber salad and a steamy white towel to clean our hands. Mini butcher block tables topped with green wasabi • and pickled ginger and a small dip- ... ping dish were set in front of us on • • a slightly sloping ledge. ·~ The fresh fish was displayed in a !; clear chilled case with colorful cut "'j chunks of tuna, yellow tail, salmon, •' shrimp and even a lobster peeking "' out from behind the glass. : "~ After we were handed a long menu of hand rollS, cut rolls, sushi and sashimi, we anticipated a night of Jliµ'e satisfaction. I flnt tried the tuna !uilh1 ($2 .SO), two piacel ol very frelh, raw, daJk red tuna with a sbiny glow. The pieces were la:rge, with the fish banging over the ends ol the rloe. An item I bad never beard ot that aroused 1!1Y talt.e buds was the Alaskan roll ($6.50): a cut roll that's like a California roll but with white seaweed and raw salmon inside. The seaw~ was Jess flAvorful and sweeter than the green variety. The fresh salmon. crab, avocado, carrot, bean sprouts and rice were seIVed with ponzu sauce, a tangy mixture of soy sauce and vine- gar. I thought the roll was great, but liked it better dipped in plain soy sa11ce. .(\ customer who frequents Sushi Wave every week offered me a piece of her aunchy roll ($6.50), a sweet cut roll filled with shrimp tempura, crab and avocado cov- ered with tempura coating and a sweet brown sauce. YUKIKO FUJISAWA Sushi Wave owner and head chef Nobuhiro Omori gets ready to prepare some dellcades at his Costa Mesa restaurant. Our friend, Saori, tried the uni (sea urchin, $3.25). It looks like rice covered with mud and wrapped with seaweed but tastes smoky and fishy and has to be eaten when it's fresh (you can tell by the color: orange as opposed to brown). Saort loves the stuff; I can't stomach it. My brother, John, tried the white fish ($2.50), two big pieces of tasty red snapper with red spicy sauce and shallots on top. When my brother ordered sweet shrimp ($4.25) -raw shrimp tails and deep-fried shrimp beads -the chef asked him if he wanted it •alive or dead." That's when I knew this was an authentic sushi place. "The Japanese like it alive,• said Saori, who was born and raised in Nagoya, Japan. She told us about some interesting Japan- ese delicacies like ikizu.kuri, a small fish that's dipped in sauce and eaten alive. John loved the sweet shrimp, and said it was very fresh and bet- ter than the place we usually go. ~~~~~ EARLY BIRD SPECIALS :: S 00 7 :00 pm Moo I hur Create Your Own Pasta $6.95 Ftnillly, p.ht.1 /U't the way you w,mt 11!

All of 18, on the brink of gradudt· mg from high school, life 1ust begin· rung and -in the length of time it takes to lose control of a speeding car -stanng down the barrel at six years m state pnson. Rausch was the young man at the wheel when a Chevrolet Blazer carry- ing 10 students roUed over on the lrvme Avenue curves May 23, leaving classmdtc> Donme Bndgman dead and two others -Amanda Arthur and Daniel Townsend -seriously injured. Last week, Rausch was charged Wlth felony vehicular manslaughter, an accusation that formally pins responsible for the accident on the young driver. The react.ion -and there was no shortage of that -initially came down on Rausch's side: His attorney said the charge seemed "beyond harsh" and the mother of one victim pointed out that "accidents happen." "Six years in stdte prison for some- This first golf classic is worth raising a few cups T h. ere's no denying that goU pldys a ma1or role in the Newport-Mesa communi- ty. So 1t was a natural that the forces in the local galling world shouJd combine m an effort to crown a local woman golfing champ. ln so doing the Tea Cup Classic was born. OrgdntZers of the event, which was won by local womdn's golfer Selby Schriber, contend the classic managed to link the diverse golfing communities of both Newport Beach and Costa Mesa. And there are plans by orgaruzers to duplicate the success next year and maybe stdrt similar tournaments with men golfers and with those in the profes- sional ranks. Kudos Me owed to Ted Jones of Fletcher Jones Motorcars, which spon- sored the event along Wlth the Daily Pilot, and Jerry Anderson and Paul Hahn for making the Newport Beach Country Club available for the tourney. A JOb well done by all. thing that could have happened to any one of our children?" asked Jen- nifer Keller, Rausch's attorney. Again, who couldn't feel a twinge of empathy for Jason Rausch? Well, Donnie Bridgman's mother for one. A deputy district attorney herself, the mother of the lone passen- ger killed in the car crash bristled at the comments made by Rausch's attorney. Vickie Bridgman said the lawyer's remarks were offensive and hurtful and that Rausch ought to take respon- sibility for his actions. "It just hurts, it hurts very bad," the mother said. Indeed, the story -sad and tragic as it is -is chalked with indisputable consequences. Donnie Bridgman is dead. Amanda Arthur will likely never fully recovery. Daniel Townsend faces months of therapy. And Jason Rausch is being held accountable for his actions that night. Who wouldn't wish it was other- wise? But it's not.

We inlti.lted thfs on July 11 by h.Mng the district feed the stOfY •bout fire flow and Mesa's decision to stand ~ Santa Ana Helgtrts to the Dally Pilot. The Pilot had been planning a stOfY for July 12 that would have focused on the $50,000 bond Mesa purchased to keep its lawsuit going. We gave the Pilot a better Stofy and the bond WIS bulled by our much better angle. We also attended the July 15 course hear- ing, planning to place the story widely if Mesa won. Mesa did not win but we advised Mesa anc:tits lawyers to try to put a positive spin on the story anyway. We ere working now to place a strong fire flow story with a major dally newspaper as soon as Mesa has the documents to back it up. We also are crafting a fact sheet for distribution to the media to lay out relevant facts and history about t he relationship betWeen Mesa and SanU Ana HelghU. iThe second stage Is to cowlter the Dally Piiot's barrage of negai· tNe editorillls. When the July 17 ~ r1n. we lmrnedlatety q· gested some Sant. Ana Heights residents to write letten to the editor In Mesa's defense, While we continued work on Mesa's op«f piece. . • Cheryl (Downey) wrote a letter for Roger Summers, which appeared In the Piiot on July 24. She also asked Roger to aSlc other to write letters. The I~ by Mar- tin South that appeared July 26 was as a result of that request. Those two letten and an unsolklt- ed positive letter helped balance the negative letters t hat appeared. The first op-ed piece is designed to respond to the Daily Pilot's editorial suggesting that Mesa shOuld throw in the towel. But it also is a major piece of our strategy, designed to position Mesa as the voice of reason and an agency merely acting In the best interests of its Santa Ana Heights cuhomers. Written under a Mesa board members byline, it is designed to be non-confrontatio nal and to take the high ground from IRWD Md gM tt to MeM. In .tt.ct.
