SERVING THE NEWPORT -MESA COt-AMUNmES SINCE 1907 · Big bµcks .spent On Y2K • <;osta MesaCS tab ran up to $1.5 million while Newport Beach officials say they spent just more than $100,000. lkff Pb NEWPORT-MESA -Prepanng fo~ the Y2K bomb that now appears to be a dud cost Costa t:ttesa close to $1.5 mil- . lion and Newport Beach mote than $100,000, officials said Monday. Richard Kirkbride, information ser-· vices manager for Costa Mesa, said the money ?Jas used over a period of three years, upgrading the city's computer software and hardware. The spending apparently paid off. Not one of the city's computers behaved abnormally when the clocks turned over at midnight. "It was absolutely worth it," Kirk- bride said. Newport ·Beach started its Y2K preparations two years ago, when offi- cials started identifying computer and ph.one systems thai needed to be replaced for Y2K compliance, said Paul Malkemus, the city's. managemen,t information systems manager. Faulty systems were upgraded and the city's voicemail service was replaced. "There llave been no problems· at all. Everything is great,• he said. "If some do surtace, they'll be extremely minor. You" never know about these . BEACH CLOSURES things, though." . • Because the city's systems ·were nearly a decade old and needed to be replaced anyway, upgrading them for the year 2000 seemed llke a good idea, Malkemus said. And so the city shelled out $100,000 for both the phone and computer systems. ln addition to upgrading computer systems, staff for sefVlces such as police, fire and 'public works were also beefed up for any potential New Year's ·disasters. The extra staffirig cost $10,170, plus an additional $3,500 spent for a special weapons team that was summoned to dilfuse a domestic fight that occurred over the weekend.

Health officials will take bacteria samples to detennlne the level of cont- amination near China Cove, Harbor Patrol and Rocky Point beacties. The cove beaches, which stretch for about a quarter of a mile, will be closed for at least three days. The sewage leak occurred near Avocado Avenue and Waterfront Dnve · in Corona del Mar. A half-mile stretch of pipeline cracked because of tree roots that. blocked the passageway, authorities said. A buildup of grease was also found inside the pipeline. Work crews will spend part of the week cleaning out the debris accumuldted Inside the pipe. The sewage spill was not.iced over the weekend and crews were able to stop it within a couple hours.

According to Newport Beach's own Planning Department, the fire code allows a usage of one person for · every 1 square feet, and a conserva- tive usage rate would be one person for every 15 square feet. c.o •• u.,, y COMMllTllY A recent editorial in the Pilot rec~ ilized that the Costa Mesa City Colll1cil had "finally" taken the step to establish a site (or the long overdue and much deserved skate- · board facility ("Location isn't great, but it's still a place to skate,• Dec. 11). So instead of the 771 people using the conference center as the report projects. up to 5,851 people per event could legally fill the cen- ter, with a conservative estimate of 2,733 attendees per event. ltwas noted that although the site at Charle and Hamilto.n was not nec- essarily the best, at least the park can proceed. As a commissioner on the Parks, Parkways and Recreation Facilities ·commission, it was by my impetus that the issue was raised to build the facility. Prior coupcils had dropped the issue for vari· ous reasons. BRIAN P08UDA I DAILY PILOT This vacant lot a1 Hamilton and Charle streets ls the site the Costa Mesa City Councll has chosen for a city skateboard park. The report further lowers the pro- jected traffic ilnpact 6y assuming that there would be at least two pelo- ple in each car for conference center events, thus antiopating that only 386 cars would carry those 711 folks to the Dunes. So instead of admitting that up to 5,857 cars could add ~o the gridlock at Bayside and East Coast Highway, the report assumes just a fraction of that number. To a layman, this appears to be incompetence. Our Planning Depart· ment ought to be screaming foul. Instead, the Newport Beach Plan- ning Depf)rtment has earnestly asswed us that these numbers are accurate. Once th.is project is built, a "mea c ulpa" will go nowhere. The city of Newport Beach should turn this project down cold. We have 411 the traffic we can handle right now. PAM M. WEAVER Newport BeaC::h As a commissioner, but more·as a parent of a very active skateboarder, I want to voice my extreme dis- pleasure with the fact that the City Council chose thE? site they did. In fact, in my view, the council acted in an irresponsible manner, bowing to pressure from 97oups who had no motive but to keep the park out of "my backyard." The site chosen was not the site recommended by city staff or the parks commission. . In this city, the NIMBYs certainly have the upper hand with the current ·council. The decisiqn to place the park at the Charle-Hamil· . ton property is deplorable. The origihal site at Uons Park 'and the revised recom- mended site at Tewinkle Park were· ignored. The site chosen has no parking, will raise the total cost to more. than $300,000 be<:ause restrooms will have to be builtr)>ut more than any- thing it is in an area that if there is trouble, or an emer- gebcy, the kids have nowhere to get help. At the other sites there is a police substation or the tennis facility to get aid. The council overlooked these facts and chose to tis- ten only to the residents who complained. They have decided to shove the skate- boarders into an unsafe, undesirable location. The council liked this site because of the surrounding businesses.

JACK B. UNDQUfST Chairman, Llndquu;t Group Inc. • AT ISSUE: Readers agree with Steve Smith's defense of school board member Wendy Leece ('Leete snub is censorship, not leadership,' Dec. 25). • c ontrary to Steve SIJ}ith's intention, I thought his article concerning the school board's snubbing of mem- ber Wendy Leece was in fact a very appropriate col· umn for Christmas Day. FEEDBACK By pointing out that even though we Americans are privileged to live within the culture and enjoy the freedoms and material benefits stemming from the birth of Christ, there are rp.any among us, especially among pollti· ciaos, who fear or are at least v~ry uneasy with any reference to religion. ' To the chagrin of most members of the board and some in our community, Wendy Leece is a constan~ reminder of Christmas. The fact that she represents the under-represented on the West Side, in ~e board's . mind, is simply added rea- son they continue to snub and censor her voice and ideas. Thank you, Steve Smith, for rerninchng us on Christ- mas Day that the message Christ brought was that God is love. The school board shouldn't fear some- one in theii rrudst simply because she reminds them of that message.

T hank you for, publishing Bob Caustin's letter regarding the proposed Dunes Hotel and the traffic it would create. - I have reviewe9 the environmen- tal impact report and found that it prognosticated the traffic generated by the _.1,000-square-foot conler- ence center by projecting a usage -level of only one person · CON for every 52 square feet of conference space. According to Newport Beach's own Planrung Department, the fire code allows a usage df one person for every 7 square-feet, and a conserva- tive usage rate would be one person for every 15 square feet. COMMUNITY COMMENTARY mike schoefer A recent editorial in the Pilot recognized · that the Costa Mesa City Council 'had •finany• ta.ken the step to establish a site for the long overdue and much deserved skate- board facility ("Locabon isn't great, but it's still a place to skate,· Dec. 11). . It was noted that .t BRIAN POBUOA I DAILY PILOT So instead of the 771 people using the conference center as the report projects, up to 5,857 people per event could legally fill the cen- ter, with a conservative estimate of 2,733 attendees per event. although tBe site at Charle and Hamilton was not nec- essarily the best, at least the park can proceed. As a commissioner on the Park!;, - Parkways and Recreation FaC:ilities Commission, it was by my impetus that the issue was raised to build the facility. Prior councils had dropped the issue for vari- ous reasons This vacant lot at Hamilton and Charle streets is the site the Costa Mesa City Council has chosen for a city skateboard par~ The report further lowers the pro- jected traffic i.tnpact by assuming that there would be at least two peo- ple m each car for conference center e'Cents, thus anticipating that only _ 386 cars would carry those 771 folks to the Dunes. So mstedd of admitting that up to 5,857 cars could add to the gridlock at Bayside and East Coast Highway, the report assumes just a fraction of that number. To a layman, this appears to be incompetence. Our Planning Depart- ment ought to be screaming foul. · Instead, the Newport Beach Plan- ning Department has earnestly assured us that these numbers are accurate. Once this project 1s built, a • mea culJ>d • will go nowhere. The dty of Newport Beach should tum this project down cold. We have all tbe traffic we can handle right now. PAM M. WEAVER Newport Beach As a commisliloner, but more as a parent of a very active skateboarder, I want to voice my extreme dis- pleasure with the fact that the City Council chose the site they did. In fact, in my view, the council acted m an urespons1ble manner, bowing to pressure from groups who had no motive but lo keep the park out of "my backyard.• The site chosen was not the site recommended by city staff or the parks commission • fn this city, the NIMBYs certainly have the upper hand with the current council. The decision to place the park at the Charle-Hamil- ton property is deplorable. The origmal site al Lions Park and the revised recom- mended $ite at Tewinkle Park were ignored. The site chosen has no parking, will raise the total cost to more than $300,000 because restrooms will have to be built, but more than any-· thing it is in an area that if there is trouble, or an emer- gency, the kids have nowhere to get help. Al the other sites there is a police substation or the tennis facility to get aid. The council overlooked - these facts and chose to lis- ten onJy to the residents who complained. They have deoded to shove the skate- boarders into an unsafe, undesirable location. The council liked this site because of the surrounding ·businesses. They are right, if a skateboarder needs auto repairs or wants to rent some equipment. Would This <OUflCil has made a IMJge mis1ake, but at least .the round any par- ent want their child to cross Hamil- ton or inembers won't Harbor have to lsten.to to get the matter -lunch? . Worse anymore. As least yet, if that is what they there were a may thilk. A IJoup medical of concerned emer- pcrent has nntten gency, ,.... where together to hope-would fuly mob a the child diffenrlCI. go? The council for.got all this and still made a horri- ble decision. Councilwoman Heather Somers, commenting on the lack of parking at the &ite, said that no 13-year- old would want theii' par- ent around, so parking was not an issue. Well, I enjoy watching my son skate, and he enjoys having me there to watch him. I well imagine that most parents of preteens won't be mere- ly dropping their kids off and disappearing, espe- cially at the chosen site. This facility belongs in ·a multiuse park. Skating is often a family activity, . although it is one the council has ignored. Skaters are not delinquents who should be segregated from the general public. These yoUJlg people are well-behaved, responsible, well-organized and terrific members of our communi- ty. They will be voters soon, and I hope they see fit to elect more responsi- ble CJvic leaders. This counal has made a huge mistake, but at least the counal members won't have to listen to the matter anymore. At least that is what they may think. A group of concerned parents has gotten t0gether to hope- fully make a differehce. The Daily Pl.lot stated that the site rrught not be the best, but at least a skate park in the works. I, and others, disagree. We need to do the right thing fol' our kids. Second-best or igno· rance by the City Council is not good enough.·A grievous mistake has to be corrected. • MIKE SCHAEFER is a Costa Mesa resident and a member of the city's Parks, Parkways af'ld Recreational Faclht1es Commis- sion.

JONES CONTINUED FROM 5 sharp-tongued criticism his intensity often generates. '1 know he's not happy about getting chewed out, but one of the things he's very good about is not showmg that frustration and just responding wtth his play,· Serven said. ·1 got on him at halftime the other day, when he only had four points against 1'-abuc:o Hills and be scored,19 in the second half." ... cohsistent," said Serven, who was responsible for liberating Jones from the post position. It was a move Jones had hoped for smce joining the varsity. "I played inside, because that was where the team needed me,• Jones said. "But I like the perimeter better. t wasn't going to go anywhere as a 6-3 inS1de player. but playing outside really helps my chanees to play in college.• "When 1 started playing, I was a little mad at mysell for never having played before," Jones said. •I always liked watchin~ basketball on TV, but I never got into 1t. 1 was JUSt into other thmgs. • He know~ what its like to play m the paint, though somewhat undersized at 6-foot-3, but has also savored the freedom wtuch comes with playing on the perimeter. It is no surprise, then, that resiliency 1oins qwckness, leapmg ability and an innate knack for scoring, among the attnbutes which have shaped his on- court success. Jones, who averaged 7 4 points as a sophomore and led the Mustang Ul scoring a year ago (15.4 ppg), said he has welcomed Serven's high-decibel harangues. Jones has done nothing to discourage prospective college coaches about his ability lo contribute facing the basket. Jones scored 21 points ma Dec. 20 tournament loss to Carson, which ended a five-game Mustang winrung streak. He then had 23 points and eight rebounds in a 63-59 Win over 1'-abuco Hills and collected 10 points, all in the second hall, in a Dec. 23 nonleague triumph over Sunny Hills. He also bit 15 of 16 foul shots in those three gam • 1 take things easily,· said the Mustangs' versatile wing, who scored 54 points in three games (Dec. 20-22) to earn Daily Pilot Athlete of the Week recognition Bob Serven, the fiery hrst-year Mesa coach who has orchestrated the 13-4 record the Muslcmgs lake into the new mlllenmum, recognizes and appreciates Jones' willingness lo accept the •(Serven) has made a bag d.iffcrence, • Jones explained. "The b1gge t thing he's given us is discipline." Jones and hb teammates have given plenty m return, already posting the program's best wt.h total in 17 seasons Jones' contributions include inside-outside scoring punch, tenaoous rebounding and unproved dcfcn . "He's more of a driver and st.a.sher, but he bas a good intermediate game and he's a good rebounder.• Serven said. "He's got a good 15-foot jumper and he's becoming a good free-throw shooter One thing he needs to work on is being more con.stSlent tram the three-point line." Jones is averagmg 15 points and seven rebounds per game, despite shanng marquee status with seruor teammate Ryan Naff But any individual success is secondary to the huge team· turnaround. Jones is no stranger lo bclrd work. HHe plays hard and he's been pretty Smee embraang the game as a seventh-grader, he has thrown tu.mself i.nto developing his ample skills.
