Although the measure's Hlook-back" provision has caused the most controversy so far, other areas for defini- tion include trip rates and floor areas. What to expect: Because the discussion will take place during a study session, council members won't officially vote on tht'Quidelines until their Feb. 13 meeting at the earli- est. Greenlight. which was approved overwhelmingly by voters in November, requires citywide eJections on any gen- eral plan amendment for a project that adds more than 100 peak-hour car trips or dwelling units, or 40,000 square feet more than the plan allows. STARBUCKS EXPANSION Council members will con- sider an appeal by Starbucks of a Planning Commission decision that more than five additional parking spots should be required for expan- sion of the chain's coffee- house in Corona del Mar. The commission, however. did not specify how many aq.ditional spaces should be required. The project includes adding nine seats to 12 existing ones indoors and four to the exist- ing eight outdoors. By renting a vacant store next door, the coffeehouse also would add separate bathrooms for men and women. What to expect City staff members have recommended that the council deny the appeal and uphold the com- mission's decision.

Instead of providing money to teachers or school boards to implement programs that would work best for e.ach individual stu- dent. classroom or school, the plans are dispersed on a statewide or countrywide basis. Many are voluntary, but the mon- ey 1s lied to the plan A case fn point 1s the plan to spend millions of tax dollars to solve the edu- cational problems of the middle school student by extending the school year by an extra 30 days Because kids m mid- dle school were not the recipients of class-size reduction, the politicians decided to fix their educational ills with more school days. D1stncts don't have to do 1t, but 1f they don't, they don't get the money. The problems are many. For-pne, whue there is consensus that kinder- ga,iten 1s elementary school and 12th grade 1s high school, what 1s middle school anyway? There can't be many d1stncts with as many ch01ces as we have. One of our intermediate schools has sucth, seventh and eighth grades. while another JUSt has seventh and eighth grades. A large number of our students don't go to a separate middle school, but go to schools that contain seventh through 12th grades. Talk about equal protechon issues in ~ few square rrules; if some sixth-graders have the opportunity to spend an additional 30 days m school, should the majority of the distnct's sixth -graders who are still on elementary school campuses not receive the same option? If so, would sixth-graders be clustered on a few campuses for the extra 30 days? And what of seventh-and eighth- grade students at the high school cam- puses who often take high school class- es during those years? Whal would they do during the periods when they would normally go to a high school math, for- eign language or elective class? As Stanford 9 and Golden State exams are scheduled for May, wouldn't teachers still need to cover therr current curricu- lum by then anyway, evt!n U the school year is extended? Then, would the CUI· riculwn for the extra 30 days be at all connected with what the student bad been studying for the rest of the year? Or would it be 30 days of videos? And then there is the problem of who would be al the head of the class f'br those extra 30 days. Because the plan provides for a 17 % pay increase to teachers who take on the extra month's assignment, the most willing candidates might be teachers Who are about to retire and want to have a higher final year of compensation for their retire- ment pay. Can you imagine having a burned-out high school teacher with no junior htgh experience teaching squir- relly middle school students who know that their brothers and sisters are already out for the sum.mer? Some kids are far behind by middle school. They really need help. Why don't we take the money and spend it to mile small summer chool classes for the kids who are falling. and then make them go to summer schoolf Give thos .. kids extensive help tn math and reading. lbe kldt wbo do their homework and study during th• regular school year would have th reward of getting out of school wlt.t\Jhe r•t of tho gr d levelt.

TbeJoss of the lee Chalet is very sad, but I believe that a point has been missed. It is not only that ow children need and want to skate but that they need to do it for free. When l was a kid, you could-swim all day at the "plunge• for 25 cents. Today it costs $2 for an how or two. There is nothing for ow kids to do that does not cost money. Keep the skate park free, and let's think of some other things they can do to hang out together where · money is not an issue for the kids who don't have it. I am sorry that Lions Park did not work out because then they would also be near the library. SANDRA KASZVNSKI Costa Mesa Ice Chalet could become game center Byron de Ara)caJ's colwnn about the Ice ChaJet ("No re.a- son Ice Chalet closure should mean end to skating," Jan 17) goes too far and not far enough. The city should cer- tainly look into converting the Ice ChaJet facility into not only a skating faality but a commu- nity game center. And that huge empty parking lot between the Ice Chalet and Mesa Verde Dnve would make a great place for the skateboard facility. That resolves pretty much all of both of those issues and is a win-win situation for all concerned. JIM TOLEDANO Costa Mesa I n..

Just at that time, ow country had become deeply embroiled in the My Lai controversy -and Lt. William L. Calley Jr. Feeling very strongly about this, along with so many others in Orange County, we vets organized and collected more than 25,000 signanir~ have Calley set free. We forwarded them directly to President ruchard Nixon via Rep. John Schmitz. CaJ- ley was finally freed, and it was a win for the little guy, so to speak. Schmitz, who Daily Pilot colwnnist Joseph N. Bell vilified, was no Johnny One Note, however, as he viciously attacked higher taxes, bigger government, social engineering in our schools, forced busing. gun control. the reordering of priorities regarding the federal budget and the 1Wee- dledee or 1Weedledwn choices of pollbcal candidates. All the while, he argued for the continued Vl9'1ance and protection of our lst and 4th Amendment nghts Those who wish to cast an added palJ upon Schmitz attempt to marguialtze htrn and simply characterize this Manne veter- an as a Nazi sympathizer, raost, flawed. ~aithful husban4 and sooaJ hypocnte with a seriously dysfunctlonaJ farruly. His ~ support by the John Birch Sooety repre- sented then a true "their party• movement, albeit without the political correctness of the Reform Party. The rancor and emobon generated by the remarks of Schmitz still shock liberaJs. Schmitz was indeed colonul and a pub- ~c po.licy wonk, with even his friends fight- mg him hard and long regarding many of his stands on the issues. Yet it was SchmU:z's very unfortunate habit to mean- ingfully take a stand on vi.rtually every issue. Worse yet. he let people know where he stood on the issues that got tum m trou- ble. Obviously. in this day an<1 age of polling to please everyone, it would be out of step with the ability to get elected. Schmitz was certainly not a moderate at anything. Schmitz categorized himseU as a Catholic with an attitude.

Sailors es·cape With .1-1-tie • Kauth's header in extra time keeps NewpQrt Harbor unbeaten in Sea View play. NEWPORT BEACH -Newport Harbor High senior Laura Kauth considered herself fortunate to avoid injury when her teammates made her the target of a post-goal celebra- tion in the closing seconds of Mon- day's Sea View League makeup game with visiting Laguna Hills. But it was lhe Sailors, as a collec- tive unit, who pulled off the biggest escape in the 1-1 girls soccer Ue at the 'tars' football stadium. Kauth's goal, a header into the upper center Ol1J'!e net from about 7 yards in front, cashed in a bending direct kick from near the left sideline by Taryn Aamson to knot the score with· just five seconds lelt in extra time. It also salvaged a vawable point in the staJ\Clings for the bolts (7·4-4, 1-0-2 in league), ,who com- plete the first round of See View action today at 5 p.m. against vislUng Aliso Niguel. ·1 guess I was just in the right pJoce at the right time,• said Kauth, Wf1o netted her fifth goal ol the IM- son. ·111e sun was in my eyes, 10 l didn't see the ball until it wu about two feet in front of my heed. I just jwnped and beaded the ball into the net. Then, I managed to get out ol there alive, when my teammates mauled me.• That Kauth was in position. to score at all, was somewhat serendip- itous for the Sailors, whose 17-3 shot advantage over the Hawks was indicative of how they dominated the now o1 the contest. ·we brought Lawa in up front when Tory (Manchester) came out late in the second "half,• Newport Coach Jason Sonell said. Manchester wu helped off the field after s.ustai'1ing a bruise OD the inside of her right shin, allowing Kaut}) to convert in the clutch. Despite the dramatic equalizer, Sorrell expressed some disappoint- ment to have gained only half of the two-point total a victory would have given Harbor in the standings (two points for a win and one for a tie). •rn take a tie over a loss, but I'm disappointed, because this ls a game we should have won.• ·Sorrell said. •0ur goal. coming into league, was to get two pomtl from the teams we could ·compete well against (like llivine, wbk:h provided their only Sea View wip, and Laguna HWI). · ·we got a pomt, today, but we alto lolt one.

Harbor managed a 0-0 tie last week against Woodbridge, ranked No. 4 in Orange County at the time. The Thrs will look to finish a strong first round against Aliso, ranked No. 5 in last week's county poll. •1 don't think I'm surprised that we're unbeaten in league at ·this point,• Sorrell said. •t wanted us to get four points in each of the four games that make up a fOlmd of league play. Four points in four games (and, by extension, eight points .in eight league games) made the play- offs last year. So we wanted to. get four points the first round and we have that already, going into (today).• Sorrell's olfense, typically led by sophomore .speedster Amy Bwtmg- ham (12 goe), struggJed to finish against Laguna Hills and senklr goalie Jamie Lautpnscblager (seven saves). ·we didn't play very well, offen- sively,• Sorrell said. •Most ol ow trouble came in the last (offensive) third of the field. Sorrell credited junior fullback Lauren Birchfield for anchoring a defense becked by juruor keeper K1lssa 1}'ler (three saves). ·1 think the only shot we gave them in the firlt half, was the one they ecored on (a Jackie Piacber tally in the 39tb minute)." The Sailon, also benefiting, Sor- rell Nkl, from the recent retwn ol junior Amy Rem (dislocated knee cap), had eight comer kicks and 18V- eral ao11e1 in the llCXlring area.

Now, before you dismiss me Tony Ahobeli COWGES as someone in serious need of getting a life, please allow me to try and explain what I went through. The women got the festivi- ties off with a blast. Biola freshman (that's right, fresh- man!) Sa.rah BaiJ;d completely picked the Llons apart. She looked like Larry Bird out there, bittin~ 7 of 11 from the field, including four three, pointers in the first half, scor- ing 21 points. At one point, she scored 18 points in a row for the Eagles. While Baird was hitting '\ jUmpers left and right, the . Uons were trying to find new ~ and exciting ways to tum the ball over and rapidly age their coach, Russ Davis. Finally, senior Becki Hud- dle grabbed the bull by the horns and played bigger than your normal 5,foot-4 point -guard. She 5e0red 1 o pain grabbed ~ven rebounds (did J mention she was 5-41) dished out five assists, sold six • bags of popcorn, parked nine cars and led the crowd in the singing of the Village People ;:,.da.ssic. •YMCA." The Llons led by two and decided to put a radar lock on Baird. Unfortunately for Van- guard, the Eagles' Sarah (don't call me Ricardo) Mon-; tavon got hot and took over ..... for Baird in the hot-shooting ' department, scoring 19 of her 23 points after halftime. . The Lions found a way to limit their turnovers (only five in the second half) and also got center Kelly Boeke involved offensively. She scored 12 of her 15 points in the second half. Despite the improved play, the Eagles' 50% second-half shooting gave them a seven- point lead with less than two minutes remaining. Tune for Rachel Fikse to ·step up and be heard. With the Uons down by five, she came up huge down the stretch, foTdng the Eagl~ into : a turnover and draining ~ .. three-pointer to bring the visi-• ton back from the dead. The senior then tied the •• game with 11 ~left, .) giving the Lions a second chance iri overtime.

You guMsed it. Fikse grabbed the loose ball and, with ooe second left, drained a six-footer for the 77-76 win. Whew! How could the men's game top that? Well, someone forgot to tell tbe Uons they were supposed to get bafnmered by the con- ference-leading Eagles. Biola was 14-2, ranked fifth in the galaxy and every player was over nine-feet tall! Well, it looked that way, at least, com- pare(! to the Lions' small, but spunky bwich. Instead of feanng the big- ger. stronger Eagles, Van- gSwd just nailed jumper a{ter j~per on them. • They outhustled the ~les, outplayed the Eagles azid ou~red the Eagles, 30-S, at one point. It was some of the hottest shooting I'd ever seen. Dennis Keane, Kemmy Burgess and Brandon Cablay went nuts on Biola, giving the 1.Jons a 16- point lead.
