Home My WebLink About1997-08-22 - Orange Coast Pilotto remain in Newport Beach; partial proceeds to benefit local charities. ' By Jennifer Annstrong, Daily Pilot NEWPORT BEACH -City officials and local tourism indus- try backers were happy to bear this week that the Toshiba Senior Classic golf tournament is stay- ing in town another year. That's no big surprise, really -the event means an estimated $1 million in hotel and restaurant . . revenues, crowds of tourist$ and free advertising on ESPN broad- casts. · The Newport Beach Country Club bu hosted the Senior PGA Tour event for two ye8Jl, but the club anl'llounced in May the tour- nament wouldn't be welcome in 1998. Club officials said the event's operator, International Sports and Event Marketing, was 60 days late on $25,000 in pay- ments. They also expressed con- cern that none of the tourna- ment's proceeds this year went to charity. But Senior PGA Tour officials this week said the next Toshiba Senior Classic will be played at Newport Beach Country Club. However, they've yet to find a new operator. "The city is very pleased that the PGA is supportive of a tour- nament in Newport Beach, and it looks like the stars are aligning for that to happen,• C!ity Manag- er Kevin Murphy said. Now organizers will have to work double time to start the ball rolling for the 1998 event. •we don't have much time," said Rosalind Williams, president of the Newport Beach Conf~ ence & VtSitors Bureau. "We're going to have to really switch into third gear here." Williams said she hopes to rally more local sponsorships and sup- port for the tournament. And she was particularly happy to hear that Hoag Hospital, where she has recently been undergoing cancer treatment, will receive part of next year's proceeds. "I couldn't think of a place more deserving," Williams said. The news that the tournament would return to its charity focus pleased Murphy as well. He said the city will now be watching closely as the PGA and Toshiba choose the new tournament operator. • SEE TOSHIBA PAGE 6 DON LEACH I DAl..Y Pl.Of The Toshiba Classic returns to the Newport Beach Country Club with the Uk.es of Jim Colbert. above, followed by a large gallery.

Assistant City Manager Sharon Wood said the dead-end areas of the harbor •have a history of problems," and the city is unsure what the cause of the high bacteria counts is. The pollution may be the result of leaky underground sewers or urban runoff -water that is used to wash down drlveways or streets and finds its way into thaDcean through storm drains, said Larry Honeybowne, pro- gram chief of water quality for the county health agency.

By 11m Grenda, Daily Pilot NEWPORT BEACH • Remember all the trouble the Gilligan's Island castawayS got into on just a three-hour tour? • Imagine all the high-seas hijinx a crew or nine women - some of them expert sailors and others with intermediate boating skills -could get into on a 20- day, 2,500-mile voyage from Hawaii to Newport Beach. Despite some minor glitches and less-than-ideal weather con- ditions a1ong the way, the crew of the 64-loot Volcano sailing yacht from the Orange Coast College Sailing Center recently returned from an annual Hawaii-to-Cali- fornia ocean crossing. The trip was coordinated by the college and was the final leg of a five-month cruise the Vol- cano made around the Pacific. Each year, the trip from Hawaii back to the college's Newport Beach sailing center is reserved for an all-female crew. The last leg is so popular, it is the only one with a waiting list, offi. cials said. BRIAN POeUDA I OAlt.'1" PILOT Crew member La Doris Heinly recenUy flnlsbed a 20-day voy- age from Hawall to Newport Beach aboard OCC's Volcano. This time, Balboa Peninsula resident La Doris "Sam· Heinly -both a m·other and grandmoth- er of three with a master's degree in social work -was part of a crew that included a writer from Los Angeles, a retired school teacher and a former commodi- ties broker. A diverse bunch, indeed. "We had an adventure, for sure,· Heinly said. •When you think about it -nine women on a boat for 20 days -it could be a disaster. But it wasn't. We aJJ got along really well.• Heinly, a native of Santa Ana -not too far from the beach - didn't have much experience with the sea growing up. It was- n't until she wa:. in her mid-40s and moved to Newport Beach about 15 years ago that she began to sail regularly. "{The bipJ was fun, a dream of a lifetime for me, and I'm sure for some of the others,• Heinly said. Heinly and her husband own a 32-foot sailboat, which they take out regularly. But before embarking on the Hawaii-to-Newport Beach trip aboard the Volcano, Heinly had her share of detractors. •People kept saying to me, 'You're crazy. Do you know you'll be facing JO-foot swells?'" Heinly said. But for Heinly and the other Volcano crew members, the problem wasn't high seas or winds -it was the complete lack of both.

Then a rather unusual request among ships at sea was made by the crew of the Volcano -•Do you guys have any fuel to spare?" To the Volcano's delight, the captain of the huge freighter - called the White Knight -oblig- ed. Using a garden hose to drain the fuel from the huge freighter to the Volcano, the crew mem~ · Qers siphoned enough fuel to cover any emergencies during the final days of their trip. As it turned out. they did have to make an unscheduled fuel stop in Santa Barbara to fill up before making the short trip to Newport Harbor. The Volcano's precarious fuel exchange was just one moment in the voyage that Heinly remem· bers as a highlight. There also was the case of Che missing, then reappearing, fudge -a still-unsolved Volcano voy- age mystery Heinly is hoping to crack once and for all when the ship's crew members get together for a reunion in October. ~I'm going to demand whoev· er took it to fess up,· Heinly said. The trip from Hawaii may have ended, but Heinly's sailing days are far from over. In about four years, when she and her husband retire, Heinly plans to shove off in the couple's 32-foot sailboat and live on-board for five years. Until then, the two plan regu- lar trips to the Channel Islands and other local spots to practice for their extended ocean hiatus. "l.ookilrf for New Faces" fw TY, flo, 1-doiw l'rilll W..!

Traveling light on · the women's pro tennis circuit · • CdM's Phebus was sent to prison, robbed and almost killed, but she remains strong in her quest for a Grand Slam title. By Richard Dunn, Daily Pilot NEWPORT BEACH -When Kerl Phebus was a junior tennis champion, she dreamt of globe-trotting on the glamorous women's pro circuit like the heroines of her youth, Chris Evert Lloyd and Martina NavraWova, and someday lifting a Grand Slam trophy above her head on center court. But while Phebus, 23, has won in her rookie season and improved her world ranking in singles to 195th, traveling on the satellite and challenger tours has been anything but thrilling. ny being handcuffed by Texas troopers, sent to prtson, robbed on a train, pickpoclceted by a British thug, detained at airports, victimized by a hit-and- run inddent and nearly killed in another automobile acddent.

Phebus, who never met a tournament she didn't win as an amatew, including NCAA singles and doubles titles for UCLA in 1995 and CIF Southern Section championships for Coro- na del Mar High, went from a faraway four-digit ranking last fall to her current position by winning two singles titles, including a $25,000 Challenger at Woodlands, Texas. Phebus, who has also won three doubles titles in her brief pro career, expects to be ready for the $25,000 Pacific Mutual Life Challenger at the Newport Beach Marriott Hotel and Tennis Club Sept. 21-28, the first of sev- en events in which Phebus plans to compete. All in the United States, thank God. Phebus' horror story began in Florida, when she had to grind her way through six rounds of qualifying before reaching the main draw of a $10,000 event in January. She lost in the first round against the top seed, then she and Rebecca Jensen lost in doubles.

By Richard Dunn, Daily Pilot NEWPORT BEACH -When Keri Phebus was a junior tennis champion, she dreamt of globe-trotting on the glamorous women's pro circuit like the heroines of ber youth, Chris Evert lloyd and Martina NavraWova, and someday lifting a Grand Slam trophy above her head on center court. But while Phebus, 23, has won in her rookie season and improved her world ranking in singles to 195th, traveling on the satellite and challenger tours has been anything but thrilling.

So many times I felt so dog tired. so deserted or so disillusioned. But I know it's going to get better. For being a rookie in my first six months, I didn't think there would be this much adventure." Welcome to the dream. Phebus, who never met a tournament she didn't win as an amateur, including NCAA singles and doubles titles for UCLA in 1995 and CIF Southern Section championships for Coro- na del Mar High, went from a faraway four-digit ranking last fall to her current position by winning two singles titles, including a $25,000 Challenger at Woodlands, Teus. Phebus, wbo bas also won three doubles titles in her brief pro career, expects to be ready for the $25,000 Pacific Mutual Life Challenger at the Newport Beach Marriott Hotel and Tennis Club Sept. 21-28, the first of sev- en events in which Phebus plans to compete. All in the United States, thank God. Phebus' horror story began in Florida, when she had to grind her way through six rounds of qualifying before reaching the main draw of a $10,000 event in January.

AIR CONTINUED FROM 7 bre4king through into the professional nm.ks, despite only having competed for about 18 months. After mastering his lnllne agility with five years of roller hockey, a mend helped steer Crenshaw toward the more cre- ative aggressive skating, which includes the big-ramp vert, as well as "street• skating, a one-minute freestyle routine over varying terrain. Limited access to street courses has hampered Crenshaw's progress in that event. But his aptitude for big air, as well as an every-other-day prac- tice routine at a local Costa Mesa facility -where he also works part time -bas rendered him upwardly mobile in the vert. •1 like the street, but I think I'm better in the vert, • said Crenshaw, who won the amateur vert competition at a National lnline Skate Series event Aug. 9 in San Francisco. His victory qualified him to compete in the pro division the following day, where he finished ninth. Th.elatterperlormance vaulted him to pro status for the NISS finale last weekend at Venice Beach, where he finished 15th in the vert. "When I first started, I never even thought about turning pro. Now, my goal is to win a pro event,• said Crenshaw, whose father, Steve, coaches boys soc- cer and track and field at INTENSE CONTINUED FROM 7 have attempted this kind of thing, but it's just not the right environment. Not just anyone can do this. It takes someone with a goal. " Some locals that have taken their ambitions to lntenseCity are Orange Coast College's Ryan Damback, Mike Catalano, Josh Case, Bryan Moore, SCC's power hitter Kevin Moore, high school standouts Ryan Lewis of Corona del Mar, Layne DeTemple of Costa Mesa and Newport Har- Bsta.nda High. Crenshaw also went airbom.e last spring as a freshman high Jumper at Costa Mesa High. His top clearance was 5-loot-6, but the 5-10, 150- pounder often ascends as high as 17 feet with his skates on, before dropping back into the half-pipe. Though grinding (sliding on the coping) provides the foundation for bis -45-second vert competition routine, Crenshaw's repertoire also includes catches (grabbing his skates after launching above the ramp). as well as fiipping, twisting maneuvers known as the Mcl\vist and the McUgly. He has also landed a 900 - two full 360-degree revolutions, followed by a 180. He has yet to work up to a 1,080, with which the sport's top pros currently wow the competition crowds. Crenshaw's recent competitive success bas opened several sponsorship opportunities, though sponsors had already supplied much of his equipment and clothing. Professional prize money includes as much as $2,000 for a first-place finish. Sporadic local competitions will occupy his "off-season,• until the NISS begins anew next spring. And Crenshaw is excited about his future in the sport. ·I can do a lot better. Most of the guys competing as pros now have been skating of at least five years. I do it for the fun of it, but I want to try and make some money with it, too.• bor's Garrett Nuzum. Tennis phe- nom Ann Yelsey has also jumped aboard. "This is no health club,· said the San Francisco Giants' J.T. Snow. "Baseball players who take the game seriously will get incredible results." A typical trip to lntenseCity would fust include screening by cardiologist Richard Froehlich. An assessment of the athlete's goals and test scores (on body eftiaency, heart rates, etc.) are taken into consideration when staff members put together an individualized program.

Phebus was also in a hurry to get to England the next day, so she bopped in her smashed-up car and sped down the highway early in the morning when it was still dark In hopes of reaching the airport in time. She was pulled over by state troopers, however, for speeding. She was going 90 mph in a 30-mph zone tluough the tiny town of Alice, Texas (population 150), so Phebus was handcuffed for reckless dnvmg, faced a judge and had to bail herself out of jail. "When they flashed their lights and said come out with your hands up, I was shaking,• Phebus said. Prior, four trooper Jeeps had surrounded Phebus' wrecked rental car and released tacks to pop the tires (though to no avail). Her car was searched by the troopers. One of them found Phebus' energy powder and thought he discovered drugs. "He called the other officers over and said, 'We found it, we found ill"' she said. "But they knew there wasn't any once they looked at it.· Detained for almost three hours, Phebus still had time to catch her flight to England, where her doubles partner had alreadylanded Butonceshe arrived at the airport, the car rental company wouldn't let her get away so quickly with a demolished back end, so Phebus missed her flight and canceled her singles plans. She would get to England, but play only doubles. Almost penniless, Phebus slept in youth hostels and lived off her energy powder. She had hoped to play m tluee challengers on grass before Wimbledon, but openings for the qualifying rounds were nonexistent and Phebus was unable to play singles in any of the four tournaments. Then, on a train late one night, Phebus had a small bag stolen while she was asleep. Later, she was pickpocketed while traveling in an under- ground commuter system. Phebus was scheduled to play next in Rockford, W., a $25,000 challenger in which she had already earned a spot in the qualifying. She couldn't wait to land in the U.S. "I was so proud to be an American on that flight,• Phebus said.

The car was totalled, Nelson was hospitalized with a concus- sion, but Phebus walked away unscathed. "It was a miracle we were OK,• she said. Since England, Phebus won another doubles title (at Flushing Meadow, N.Y.) and reached the singles semifinals. Though her paychecks are slim and her excursions adven- turous, Phebus keeps her faith and stays focused on the ultimate goal. "I want to wtn a Grand Slam,· said Phebus, who will start testing her foot on Monday, her first tennis in over a month. Phebus has been banged up plenty-a-time before, so the setback of a stress fracture comes with the territory, a domain where her faith m God is tested much more than any physical ail- ments.

Phebus' timing always seemed to be like a perfect serve-and-volley as a junior sensation, earning a No. 1 national ranking m the girls 12s, 14s, 16s and 18s. She also won two CIF individual singles titles for CdM, then became the high- est-ranking junior to be signed by UCLA.

FfUOAY, AUGUST 22, 1997 72 HOURS r DAD.Y PILCYT • Cops and conSpiracies offer plenty of intrigue • EDITOR'S NOl'I: The Reel Critics column features movie aitiques written by community members sentlng on our panel. Good movie, but not great "Cop Land" brings us a sur- prisJngly mellow. thoughtful and overweight Sylvester Stallone as the sheriff of a small town in New Jersey. Without a hint of bis usual action hero persona, he stands in sharp coo-John Depko trast to the tough New York cops who work in the big dty, but live in Stallone's sleepy village on the other side of the George Washington Bridge. Al first, he's willing to look the other way as the city cops speed, drink, fight and break numerous minor laws in the quiet town. But the basically honest sheriff is caught in a dilemma when be can no longer ignore the increasingly obvious crimes of the conupt cops who depend on the sheriff to stay out of their business and out of their way. At this point, the saeeo- play follows your basic Good Cops against the Bad Cops sce- nario, with Stallone as the defin- itive Good Guy. Can you guess who wins this struqgle? Yeah. I thought you could. This movie features an all-star cast with major credits in some great police and gangster films: Robert De Niro in "The Godfather,• Ray Uotta ln "Goodfellas" and Harvey Keitel in "Pulp Fiction.• They all play their parts as well as you could possibly expect. but this is not Oscar ~terial While it's very well-aded, in the end this is a simple stoty wilh a predictable plot that we have all seen before. It would make a good 1V episode of "NYPD Blue" or "Homidde. •It provides a nice ad;l.ng change of pace tor Stallone, but it's at best a good movie, not a great one. GRADB:B Stallone should turn in his badge Hey, Officer Murray • (Superboy) 84bitch.1 Now that you've accidentally killed a pair of unarmed youths, smashed yow car and bad other cops try to plant incriminating evidence on the dead boys, what are you going to do next? Officer Murray (Michael Rappaport) answers, "I'm going to Cop Land.· That starts the new action tbrtller starring Sylvester Stallone, Robert De Niro, Harvey Keitel, Ray Uotta. Janeane Garofalo and Annabella SdomL Ganison, NJ., located across the river from Manhattan and connected by the George Washington Bridge, is tl)e small town best known as Cop Land. On the surface, it's a qua.int place filled with police otticen and their families. Below the surface, it's a place filled with political and police corruption, mob ties, adulterous affairs and drug abuse. In charge of watching the lnbabilants is Freddie Heflin .,.r- '··e~ . ~ ' ' -. t -• (Sylvester Stallone). Unable to be on the NYPD because of a bad ear, he's little more He .... B---'er than a paper u.u •Cl!WU sheriff. The real law in town is Ray Donlan (Harvey Keitel), a fast-tb.l.nking and fast- t.al1dng New York cop. He's a man with many connections to polltidans, to the mob and whose nephew, Officer Babitch, is at the center of what turns out to be a very botched police cover-up. Sent to investigate is inter- nal affairs officer Moe 1llden (Robert De Niro). 1llden knows there's some- thing rotten in Ganison, but initially he's stonewalled as be receives the silent treatment from everyone indudiog the JUltice·blind, sad sack sheriff. Pmally, u the sberUf makes some of hia own discoveries, t):ae l,tgbta go on. And in a tame straight from ·Rambo,. be ai..o.t lingle. handedly turns bis town around. Yeah for the good guys II This is a really dumb movie. It's heralded to be Stallone's big return to acting, but I never saw it. His character is basically a monosyllabic, overweight, sad- eyed chucJdebead who, by the end of the movie, becomes everyone's favorite superhero. De Niro's character is a little more interesting. But anyone who bas seen any movies involving police corruption knows the guys from Internal Affairs are always loathed and they're never the heroes. The one character that I did like was Figgs (Ray Liotta). He's a bad cop with a few moral fibers studt to him. Throughout the film. Figgs is the cop who tries to teach Stallone's character about being a New York cop. Overall. I thought •Cop Land" was incredibly violent with a ton of very foul lan- guage and I'm no prude. The plot ls so convoluted I could have used a map to keep track of all the twists and turns. There are a lot of characters that I really didn't think were necessary, but for some reason were left in. Stallone is so weak that be may as well be absent. Too bad I couldn't have been. • tmDI UESSl.ER. 35, Is • hair stylist and Costa Mesi resident. Suspenseful, thrilling and awesome "Conspiracy Theory• is about a New York taxi driver, Jeny fletcher (Mel Gibson), who has conspiracy theories about the government. He puts these theories in a newsletter that be sends out to bis five subsaibers. All of a sudden CIA agents are after him. Apparently, Jeny is right about one of his theo- ries. Alice Sutton (Julia Roberts) is an attorney for the Justice Department wbo bas befriend- ed Jerry. He comes to her to tell her who be think.I lhe abould wam about these theories. Allee really dpesn't know whether or not to believe Jerry because be comes across as a very paranoid person at times.

Mel Gibson is a garbled, con- fused kook whose efforts to engage a lawyer (Julia Roberts) in meaningful dialogue leaves you wondering why she both- ers. Even with a program, it is impossible to distinguish the players. We have the equiva- lents of CIA, Secret Service, FBI and other such groups repre- sented by spooks from each but they aren't around for long any- way.

This is an entertain- Elalne England ing, exciting movie with multiple twists and turns. I'm not sure there was a central plot. Gibson and Roberts capably handle their parts and sell the movie. P.S.

FRIDAY, AUGUST 22, 1997 HecamefrOm outer space •Ex-Apollo astronaut speaking at Mutual UFO Network of Orange County meeting. By Shay McAfee, Daily Pilot A man from space is landing in Costa Mesa. Well, actually, it's former Apollo astronaut Brian O'Leary, who will be speaking at this month's meet- ing of the Mutual UFO Network of Orange County as part of the group's monthly lecture series. The presentation will be held Wednesday at the Neighborhood Community Center in Costa Mesa from 7 :30 to 10 p.m. and is open to the general public for $10. O'Leary, a NASA scientist and astronaut during the Apollo program, is expected to discuss Ilia thoughts on free energy. rotating magnetic devices, cold fusion. Tesla systems, and new discoveries in solid state. ·we selected Dr. O'Leary to speak because of bis dual inter- est in the free energy topic a.nd his thoughts on the question of whether or not intelligent life on Mars exists,• said Debbie Stock of the Mutual UFO Network.. O'Leary received his doctor- ate from the University of California at Be!keley tn 1967 and since has served on the fac- ulties of Cornell University, the Californla Institute of Technology, the University of California at Berkeley, and Princeton University, Stock said In addition to his Apollo work, he was Deputy Team Leader of the Mariner 10 Venus-Mercury Television Science Team. He has written several books on space explo- ration and free energy. O'Leary is the first astronaut to speak as part of the Orange County group's monthly lecture series. Past speakers include medical doctors who have per- formed surgeries to remove implants from people who claim they were alien abductees, physicists and investigators of crop circle formations in England. The local chapter of the Mutual UFO Network was formed in January 1995, and has more than 100 current members, Stock said. Nationally, the group was founded in 1969. The non-proht organization, which investigates reports of UFO sightings, usual- ly holds lb monthly lecture series on the fourth Wednesday of each month.
