But. in the latest of a series of head-spinning developments, the state's parks department agreed to sit down and talk with attorneys fot the residents. That news came Friday, along with an announcement out of the highest office in the state, Gov. Gray Davis, that a deal had been struck to buy out the San Francis- co developer who had proposed an unpopular $35-million luxury resort.

The district was rife with con- troversy as the week began. Tues- day's school board EDUCATION meeting was TIOUHYS flOM Tll SClllt Before I even arrived at Julie and Phil Dohrman's Huntington Beach home, I knew thelr story. Phil had suffered trau- matic head Injuries In a car accident and Julie, a nurse at Hoag Hospital in Newport Beach, had been taking Ume off work to help her husband through. Nurses at Hoag donated time to Julie so she could keep her job. I knew I wanted to capture a sense of hopeful- ness for this couple that had been through so much. For me, warm Ught represents hopefulness, the light at the end of the tunnel. I felt this picture showed a tumJng polnt In thelr journey to recovery. -S..n Hiiier packed with par- ents. Some demanded that trustees not put books in the hands of children that they felt were indecent; others insisted that the materials should not be with- held. ln question were two novels - •Snow Falling on Cedars• and "Of Love and Shadows~ -that one board member felt were inap- propriate for teenagers. A third novel, "The French Lieute nant's Woman,• and a sociology text- book were also on the list to be approved. Despite the vocal opposition, the board upheld the teachers' request for all of the books with a 5-2 vote. After only one day of quiet, there was excitement again Thursday, when four of Newport- Mesa's schools appeared on a state list of SC!tools eligible to NOT TOO WET AFTER All THE WEATHER apply to receive some free money. It was the third round of Academic Performance Index incentive mon- e y, which this time will go to teachers. Of those four schools, it looks like Sonora Elemental)' School in Costa Mesa can expect to see some dough. And excitement hit a fever pitch for many on Friday, when New- port-Mesa's 30th school greeted it's first students.

One thing's for sure: the com er of 19th Street and Newport Boulevard won't be on the city redevelopment list, a process that began in City Hall last week.

But after Tues- day's City Council study session, it became clear that Newport Beach's elected leaders are getting close to putting Greenllght to work. Technically NEWPORT speaking, the new BEACH slow-growth law's . been in effect since the middle of December. It's the guidelines the council members are expected to adopt before the end of February that will fine-tune the initiative. At least six or the city's seven elected offidals have to vote in favor of things such as definitions for "floor are(l" or •peak-hour trips.• Greenlight, passed by voters in November, requires citywide elec- tions on any general plan amend- ment for a project that adds more than 100 peak-hour car trips or dwelling units, or 40,000 square feet more than the general plan allows. Council members seem to agree on one of the more contro- versial guidelines so far. They're likely to adopt a 2000 starting date for the law's "look-back. provi- sion.• which adds up prior general plan amendments in a particular area to determine if a project crosses the threshold and triggers an election. nus should make the city's developers happy, since it will likely cause fewer elections in the years to come. _.._..~ COYefS Newport ae.n. ...

Emotions were high. · Many protested plans to demolish . LBoAokciil' lhe restau-rant and replace it with condo- miniums. But olhers welcomed the ided of peace dnd quiet. A month after lhe Can- nery's closure, Newport Beach resident Jack Crout bought lhe property from developers, with plans to reopen it as a restduranl. But things have been fairly quiet since then.

The Cannery's history dales back more thdn 70 years. In the t 930s, the bwJding was a redl Cdnnery operated by Western Can- ners Co., whtch employed about 110 peof>le The workers were pttid about five cents per can. The Cannery Restaurant, which will reopen in May, was once a working cannery oper- ated by Western Canners Co. Tuna, swordfish, mackerel, sardines and anchovies were processed through the assemblylines until the operation closed in 1966. At the time, legions or fishing boats piled the har- bor and the ractory's stedm whlsUe was a fanuhar. shnll sound. Boats would drdg in their day's catch -tund, sword- fish, mackerel, Sdrdm es and anchovies -but business boomed or went bust dependmg on the World War 11 economy Over the years, Newport Harbor induslnahzed along Wlth the rest of the world. More machinery replaced human labor and eventually resulted in so much poUu- bon that rish could not safe- ly inhabit the coastal waters. In 1966, the cannery was closed and lorn down.

"Why not?" I thought, formu- lating an idea every bit as good as my suggestion for d oty skdtebuard bowl. As Allan crnd I drove down New- port Boulevdfd, my vision for a new City Hall began to emerge, most of it revolving around a huge mayor's office on the top floor, with a Ooor- t.o-ce.iling video wall and lots of French windows with a View ol lhe ocean to the south. We were greeted at the door, exchanged pleasantries, stepped inside, gasped and stopped dead in our tracks. What had been a glistening. corporate flagship a few years earlier was now a rusting, abcindoned shipwreck. There were mountains and mountains of file bo.xes. some closed, some open, with papers and docwnents spilling everywhere. -Oeep troughs had been gouged right through the carpets by the wheels or hand trucks hauling tons of files day in and day out. There were gap- ing holes punched in walls and doors -solid hardwood I rrught add -hanging from one hmge. We thanked our hosts from the Potomac and headed for the parking lot with all deliberate speed. The RTC left town soon after that. as quietly as they had amved. Apparently, Washington had helped us enough. Fortunately, the building returned to private hands and was TTlifde pre- sentable once agam. But there it sat for 10 long years -an imposing sentinel that watched in silence as Tri- angle Square and Niketown and Borders Books and a reborn Newport Boulevdid grew up around it. I was always surprised that the building didn't become the inspiration for some locdl mythology. Il ever there were a candidate for a haunted house or some fantastic tale about why the place had been empty for so long, this was 1t. Didn't happen. Year after year, we've all waited for the light at 19th Street to change. unable to resist a glance at the big Sparush building gazing down on us -our own ver- sion of the Mona Lisa, only bigger.

At other churches, you really could go and leave and never connect with anyone." Maney Harris • vol4nteer, Rock Harbor Churth The chur~. which has offices in 4 duplex at the cor- ner of 17th Street and Mon- rovia, will consider a site even if it bas no building. as long as it's big enough to put up a tent and hold the con- gregants' cars, Scott said. One of the many places being considered is the Orange County Fairgrounds, where every few months the church holds "stirrings." ser- vices made up of collabora- tions between churches of different denominations. Rock Harbor is not alone in its struggles to balance growth with space needs. Pastor Rick Warren of Sad- dleback Church recently told Page that his church grew to 10,000 members before it found a facility. "I thought, 'God, that's encouraging.' • Page said. "We're only at a couple thousand." The church's lack of a per- manent location has not been all bad. It has lead Rock Harbor's congregation to organize outreach events. La.st month, when the senior center closed to install new floors, the church orga- ·I foresee us spending a minimum of ($750,000) for a · house that's falling apart and that's not a Costa Mesa land- mark but was actually built in Santa Ana. We could build a replica for what we're going to spend to restore and move this house. "I cannot support reckless spending of our money on what I consider fluff when we have other things such as pot- holes to spend our money on." Removing lead-based paint and asbestos and taking care of structural problems, termite damage and flea and rodent infestation also could be cost- ly, Monahan said. The house was built 1n Santa Ana and moved to Costa Mesa in the 1940s, said Don Lamm. deputy city manager ,.. n1zed a "dty to dty" event, in which members from five aties put together services in different Edwards Cinemll theaters. The need that has driven the church to coordinate events in different places has brought the congregation together, and .bas instilled a deep sense of community, volunteer Nancy Harris said. ·u·s just the whole team concept,· she said. "Every- one's kind of on the same page and (is) really dedicat- ed. A lot of times at other churches, it seems like 5% of the. people are doing all the work. At Rock Harbor, it seems like if there's some- thing to do, so many people step up to the plate. Here, you feel a call to get involved. You're really just moved." Harris said she hopes the church remains the same even after it finds a perma- nent home. "The thing that really got me IS the level of worship.· she said. "People are out- reaching to the community and praying for you. At other churches, you really could go and leave and never connect with anyone. Because we meet in the senior center, it's a lot more intimate. Some- tunes when you get a larger church body, you begin to feel disconnected. But here it is very easy to connect." Page said he doesn't think a building would change that. "Even if we were to land a building that we were in sev- en days a week. I still think God would continue to remind us that hey, this isn't the church. this is just the building and dJrector of development seM ces. Council members Karen Robinson and Chris Steel also voted to hear from residents whose taxes would be spent on the project. Mayor Libby Cowan and Councilwoman Linda Dixon dissented, saying they think the cost is worth the cultural value gained by saving the house. "Huscroft House is an important piece of Costa Mesa's history," Dixon said, adding that it would be ideal in the area of Fairview Park des- ignated as a historical village. •Future generations need examples of our past, and I think that !efurbishing that house gives them an idea of different types of architecture. e est1nos-.- quali ty MEATS W8 111e Finest Mcor uncl S<Yulce Av<Jila/Jlt' &rvint Costll M~sa for owr 30 yum CELESTINO 'S O LD-FASHIONED MEATLOAF • $299 lb SundayOnly 270East17th St• Costa Mesa• (949) 642-7191 (Hillgl'en Square) 9:00 to 7:00 Mon.· Sat.• 10:00 to 6:00 Sun. , • .,.. ... tk '"' ............... ..... ...

Dixon said one res1den1 already has volunteered to help and that more volunteers particularly carpenters. elE>c· tricians, roofers, architects dnd gardeners, and building supply donations would de fra y the cost of restoration.

COMMUNITY 8 Sunday, February 18, 2001 EDITORIALS It's time for cove residents to move .on F nday was a momen- tous day for Crystal Cove. Residents there received d three- week reprieve of the state evic- ti ons handed to them on Mon- day. Gov. Ddv1s announced a plan thdl wouJd buy-out the developer of the much-criti- cized proposal to buud a resort on the state park land. But that news did not funda- mentally change the waters around the cove Earller m the week, on the day that cove residents hied a lawsuit to stop their ev1cltons by the state, one among them said something particularly telling. "I'd ha te to see my cottage tum into one of the abandone d ones," Ja ne BurzeU sdid Tuesday. That statement sums up the entire Crystal Cove problem. It isn't her cottage. It belongs to the public. It's been that way since the Irvine Co. !?Old 2, 791 acres to the state in 1979 lo establlsh Crystal Cove State Park. The residents who hve m 40 historic cottages see 1t diffe rent- ly and are quick to point out that they pay a combmed $480,000 in rent ea ch year. But that's an average of 1ust $1,000 per month for secluded , beach- front Living. They've hdd it good -very good -for decades, and it is easy to see why they don't want to move. But the state is responsible • for keeping more than just the occupants of the 1920s-era cab- ins happy. Having people live there keeps Crystal Cove from being as open and public as other state parks. Too many people have related how they were told to leave because it was "private property. H Such stories quickly erode sympathy for the cove's residents. Officials need to de termine if the cottages' old septic tanks are leaking into the ground and then into the ocean. Doing so is a major reason the residents are being required to leave. Given the p otential damage to the environmentally deli- cate area, it 1s a job that should be undertake n as quickly as possible. Environmental concerns also have bee n staved by the state's decision, announced Tuesday, that it is scra pping plans for a $35-million resort at the park. The cost for that change of heart may end up being $2 mil- lion to the resort's developer, Michael Freed. It's a lot of mon- ey but an investment that will be worth it as the years go by. It was clear from the start that a $375 per night resort would never cater to the public that owns the park -another good reason to start over. Starting fresh is the chal- lenge now. Fnday's ste ps were clearly in the right direction, but the state Department of Parks and Recreation still needs to come up with a plan that will keep the park accessible, pro- tected and maintained. And although residents have a brief reprieve, it shouJd not reswt in anything more than easing their transition out of this little piece of paradise. They should be relieved that they won the battle to halt the proposed resort. It's time for the m to find a new place to call home . School board made the correct decision T he Ne wport-Mesa school board made the right decision in approving two novels for juniors and seniors at New- port Harbor High School. *Of Love and Shadows· by South American author Isabel Allende and "Snow Falling on Cedars" by David Guterson were challenged by trustee Wendy Leece as bemg too risque.

ERIC HUTCHISON CHARLE & HAMILTON N EAC[ • Alternate sites suggested for Costa Mesa skate park THE ISSUE: On Feb. 5, the Costa Mesa City Council decided in a divided 3 to 2 vote against having a skate park at Charle and Hamilton streets. A number of readers came up with other locations for a park. F or an alternate site for the skate park, bow about the park at the end of Califor- nia Street -we call it Moon Park. It's just off the river trail. Just an idea. JENNIFER CROSSON Costa Mesa The new recreation center is being built downtown. I believe Readers RESPOND it's slat- ed lo open in Mayor June, in which case the old facility, the old gym and pool were to be leveled and turned into parking spaces. Per- haps that could be modified to accommodate the skateboard park. It seems like a good site; we don't lose green space at the other end of Uons Park.. The infrastructure there would support the skateboard park with the bathrooms e.nd telephones. A sound wall might be built lf the library bU any complaint, but they've lived with a pretty noisy tw1mming pooJ there for a long ~. so that shouldn't make a btg cll/ference. Anyway, 1 th1nll the 1kate· board perk should go where th old gym 11 going to be tom down,, Jt'D be a little bit of a delay because lt'a nOl qu1to a location yet, but It WW be Very '°°"' -at soon u the new fadlily opeDI and they'll be leY· el.ing the old one. Perhaps they can even incorporate part of the old swimming pool into the skateboard park and preserve some of our history because that old pool -they just don't make them like that anymore. BARBARA BECK Costa Mesa I'm in favor of a skateboard park. There's plenty of room in the Tewinkle Park area to build a park. There's restrooms there and everything. I'm definitely an advocate of the skateboard park and am willing to do what I need to do to assist in having this done.

I think Fall'View Park wouJd be an excellent place for it. There's plenty of parking there; there's large open spaces away from any homes, away from anyone who woUld possibly have a com- plaint with it being next to them. The kids need a place to play, a place to skate. Skate· boarding is not o crime; it's a sport. There's also another plae& in Costa Mesa that may be perfect that I'm not sure has been con- sidered.

Daily Pilot CoMMuNITY FoRuM Sunday, Febn.eory 18, 2001 9 'Love thy neighbor as thyself' Jesse Miranda continues his conversation about bridging cultural gaps in Newport-Mesa IMPORTANCE OF COMMUNICATION 'We have, sometimes, no choice wh o our neighbor is, but we do h9ve a choice tb communicate with them. They don 'I have to be community. We can be in communion without being community.' A 'LABORATORY' 'My impression, my feeling toward this area is. that I think it's a laboratory to create a model that can be duplicated in the rest of the count ry. The dynamics are here, th e people, and it's so clearl y what many communities look like.' n the fall, Vanguard Uni- versity welcomed Jesse Miranda to its campus. Miranda is in charge of the Center for Urban Studies and Ethnic Leadership, a new program at the school that seeks to build relationships between the school, churches and the community. He also is a leader of the Christian Latino community in the country. The following is the second part of Miranda's conversation with Pilot City Editor S.J. Cahn. Do you agree with President Bmh's plan to support with federal money faith-based chartUes and volunteertsml The fear is ... there's two fears. The fear that the church has is the control of the state, and the church fears that involvement. So that's important, for the church ls recover- mg. I think, something that it's need- ed m a long time -the public dimensions of its faith. Too many chUiches are in communities where they remain in the four walls of the church, and their community is dete· norating. So I think that what you're hearing now is a good sign that there's a recovery of the public dimension of faith. And for the state, I think the fear Le;, frankly. I think the fear of the reli· gious right of extremism. And it's overreacting because not everybody is in that position. Religious covers more, and a lot of times people know very little about religion. The chUiches aren't the center of the town that they used to be. And because people don't know about the church, they don't know how heterogeneous it is, that it's so diverse. In fact, there's infighting among religious groups and competition. So it's not like they're going to gang up on the state and do it because within them, human beings have diverse ways of thin.king and expressing their faith. So I think those are some of the issues that are right now mak· ing it controversial. With or without federal money, what role do you see for such work ln Newport-Mes.al Through our center, we would hope that we would inform and educate, and that we'd be dose to the office in Washington, D.C. I know '-tle people heading it, and I would want us to be mformed and not jump -and keep our people from overcommitting or not taking advantage. I think we love Costa Mesa, that if it's for the good, we should go for it for the sake of the people and the community and the church. But basically, what it is is that the uni· versity and the church are stressing two biblical truths, very important Within: The Great Commission, to go and preach the Gospel to others, and the second half of the Great Com- mandment, love thy neighbor as thyself. I think that that's the bottom line of what we want -as a univer- sity and our churches -that the community hear loud and dear that everyone needs to be induded: the- poor and the rich, regardless of col- or, regardless of class and econonuc status -that's a commission by our Lord. And the commandment is to love our neighbor. CARL HIDALGO I OAJLY PILOT We have, sometimes, no choice who our neighbor is, but we do have a choice to communicate with them. They don't have to be community. We cari be in communion without being community. Because commu- nity work could change people to all look alike. Communion respects dif- ferences. And that's the problem that sometimes these p rejudice and prob- lems take place. What impression ol the Newport-Mesa community have you had so larl It 1S mteresting how you put them together in the name. And yet com- mg from Haoenda Heights and looking at it -what a stark contrast. Just phys1cally look at the con- trast between one corrununity and the other. However, the second impression thdt I've gotten since September here, as I've gotten in and I've spent a lot of time ln the streets and with people, ls the large number of eager and charitable peo- ple. So I see the buildings and I see the contrast, but then I found and I see the heart and the generosity of people. Just (last month), we bad 50 lead- ers from churches from the area - very prestigious. wealthy churches -to say bow can we help, and they took the11 lunch hour to come and listen to what lS Uus center all about {They sayl, "How can we help you?"

St. Mark Presbyterian wants community input HOW TO CONTACT YOUR REPRESEll1l11YES Thank ypu very much for the timely. lair and accurate article on the proposed purchase by Our Lady Queen or Angels of the current St. Mdfk Presbytenan Church property ("FuUilling a quest,· Feb. 9). At [the Feb. 9) Planning Com- auss1on meeung, some members of the community expressed con- cern over the development of the vacant parcel at the comer of MacArthur Boulevard and San Joaquin I fills Road that 1s pro· posed as the new site for St. 'Mark. We genwnely welcome all voices [rom the community. We have already had preliminary discussions with many communi- ty groups and intend to keep Curt Webster SOUNDING BOARD that dialogue in place as we con- tinue the lengthy and intricate process of planning our new campus. I cannot emphasize strongly enough St. Mark's theological commitment to stewardship of God's creation. We believe pas-' sionately that humankind has a divinely appointed duty to care for the Earth and preserve it. When the concept of moving to the MacArthur Boulevard and \ San Joaquin Hills Road site was first presented to the congrega- tion, we collectively went through considerable soul- searching in an attempt to dis- cern our moral obligation toward the property. All of St. Mark's preliminary conceptual planning bas been based on the commitment to care for the property and respect its natural condition as a gift from the Creator. To that end, we are studying ways to restore and preserve the natural condition of the canyon bead and other areas on the property.(\ We intend to use the property as an ecological classroom for our own congregation and the community at large. We are enc\eftvoring to create landscap- ing' designs that will inco.rporate existing and restored vegetation, and minimlze water usage. We welcome the community's interest in preserving the natural character of the property and solicit any suggestions to help us achieve that goal.

And. boy, did the Mustangs make up for lost opportunities. They opened the CIF South- ern Section playoffs with a 3-0 victory over visiting Azusa in the Division IV first round. Me~ senior Trinidad Her- nande'Z finished with a goal and an assist and senior Bernardo Falci netted two scores, while the defense post- ed its 10th shut out of the sea- son. The Mustangs (14-5-1), who made its first playoffs appearance since 1991. also collected their quick.est goal of the season when Hernandez took a pass from senior Chasen Marshall and scored from 10 yards out, 127 seconds into the game.

Mesa began to frustrate the Aztecs as the Mustangs increased theu defensive pressure. With less than eight min- utes remaining. Mesa cashed in on its hard work. Junior lrwin Salas stole the ball away from Azusa and ldcked the ball in front to Hernandez who then booted a picture·perfect cross. Falci, a foreign exchange student from Brazil, finished the play with a head- er. "That was one of the most pretty goals I've seen that we've scored,• Day said. Said Hernandez. "I don't like to hog the ball a lot. I just saw him and he's open. Why am I not going to pass it to him?" Hernandez, a third-year varsity player, did not bold back celebration on Mesa's first two goals.

COSTA MESA BISEIAll Orange Coast ran off an 11-1 rout of College of the Canyons Saturday in community college bi>-se- ball, but a 4-3 loss to Treasure Valley in the second of two Cy-Coast Towna- ment games was the eye-opener, snap- ping a rune-game winning streak for the Pirates. Coach John Altobelli's munch- machme chewed up College of the Canyons, in a time-shortened eight- inrung game that was highlighted by 16 base hits fTom the Pirates, with every starter getting at least one hit. Catcher Brian Murphy was 3 for 4 with two doubles and four RBis, uppmg his average to .600. Ryan Mar- cos had a double and three walks, dri- vmg in four to improve his RBI total to 22. Starter Scott Beerer went three innings without giving up a hit, strik- ing out two, dlld kept his ERA at 0.00. Eric Foxman took over the next three inrungs, gave up one run and struck out five to earn the win, his first of the year. That gave OCC cl 35-4 edge over its opponents m the past three games and upped the team's overall batting aver- age to .413. The pitching staff, mean- while, had limited opponents to a .21 3 batting average -before Treasure Val- ley anived. The Chukars (t-2) of TreasurE! Val - ley, however, turned the day inside out, striklilg for a run in the first inning and addl.ng three more m the second, then held on for the victory. Treasure Valley scored in the first by way of three walks and a hit-batter. l'wo of three runs in the second mrung were unearned, but Eric Fla- gel's 7111 iunnmgs of scoreless relief, allowing just two hits, struqng out 10 and waUung none, went for naught. Coast scored a run in the fourth inning on Scott Beerer's two-out, two- run double. Beerer advanced to third on a wild pitch, but relieve pitcher Billy Gorrell forced Ryan Marcos to ground out, ending the threat. Beerer was the only Pirate witltmore than one hit, finishing the game 2 for 4. The Pirates cut it to 4-3 in the sev- enth, and had two on with none out in the ninth, but the next three batters went down swinging against Gorrell. Aaron Mackenzie went 72/3 innings and earned the victory. Coast is back in action today at 11 a.m., taking on College of the Sequoias in the final game of the tournament.
