Call the
I I
From 1ima beam to Louil Vuittm,
from an tura1 dream to A~and Pitch, the tale
of how South Cout Plaza came into
being ii aJlo the story of the the
Segerstrom family.
The Segentroma arrived in
CallfomJa from Sweden in 1898 and
loold!J BACK
leued about 40
aaes of land in
Costa Mesa, where
the family grew
apricots. The family,
then heeded by
Harold T. Segentrom. Sr., bought
the property in 1915 and began
planting lima beans -the key to
their success.
Porty acres eventually became
more than 2,000, and the family'I
lima bean harvest became accepted
as the best in the nation.
By about the 1950s, the family
expanded into real estate develop-
ment Teo yean lat.er, the
Segerstrom's dream -to erect a
commercial cent.er -began to be
realized. 1be Idea was supported by
the Costa Mesa Oty Coundl. who
agreed to rezone the area from agri-
cultural to commerdal use.
The May Co. and Sean, then two
of the most powerful retailerl in the
area, agreed to occupy part of the
space. May Co. went up in 1966 as
South Coest Plaza's first building,
and 86 other stores sprouted the next
year.
The complex held its grand open-
ing in 1967. The interior was air-con-
ditioned -which back then was a
big deel -and had indoor palm
trees.
The plaza bas grown since then.
The two original tenants are still
there in some form. but other anchor
stores have come in -Sales Pifth
Avenue, Macy's, Nordstrom. There
are nearly 300 boutiques and stof!!S
now, with others joining all the time.

center will welcome Donna Karan

PHOTO COURTESY Of THE COSTA MESA HISTORICAL. SOCIETY
In the mJd '60s, South Coast Plaza stood alone In what used to be a U:ma bean Held. Now, the shopping
center bu become the linchpin of what ls known as the South Coast Metro area of Costa Mesa.
Gallerie to its fold.
South Coast Plaza has also
spawned two bridges and a host of
stores in the Macy's Home Store
wing across the street. Altogether,
officials estimate South Coast Plaza
generates more than $900 million in
sales a year.
•1t changed the face of Orange
County,· said Peg Peterman, a Costa
Mesa resident for 49 years. •That's
where (the city) gets its sophistica-
tion, starting with that.•
Peterman, who is a member of the
Costa Mesa Historical S90ety, added
that people enjoy going there so
much that the shopping center is
considered a recreation area in the
county.
Mary Ellen Goddard, a society
board member, said that the hype
surrounding the shopping center has
anything but died down since it was
built.
•tt's certainly become the sh op-
ping center m Orange County, .. she
said.
And the Segerstrom family IS still
ambitious with their development
plans. More than 20 years ago, they
donated land and $6 million for the
Orange County Performing Arts
Center and South Coast Repertory,
located across the street from plaza.
A bridge connects the arts center
and the shopping center, allowing
people to dine in one area, and
watch a performance in the other -
after a brisk walk.
The Segerstroms, now led by
Henry Segerstrom, continue to own
South Coast Plaza. They have been
instrumental m the development of
the area around the shopping mecca
-donating more than $40 million to
the Orange County Performing Arts
Center last August to help it expand.
They've also given smaller, but still
weighty donations to SCR for its
physical growth.

A MYSTERIOUS ILLNESS
Austin's unfortunate famil-

collection began three years
ago.
One day, out of the blue,
the then-2-year-old began to
a run fever that spiked up to a
life-threatening 106 degrees
and lasted for several days.
It was every parent's worst
nightmare and one that
Michael and Shannon Russell
would begin to go through
every eight to 10 weeks like

audience questions. •t want
people to take away with
them that we need more

Despite signs more than a
year ago that California was
heading into a possible ener-
gy crisis, nothing was done.
The issue came to the pub-
lic's attention ln January
wben Southern California
Edison and Pacific Gas and
Electric announced that they
might declare bankruptcy.
Since then, electricity prices
have risen by 9% and parts
of Northern California .have
endured rolling blackouts.
No one could tell the
Russells what was wrong with
Austin. He would show no
other signs of illness, Shannon
Russell said, just quietly begin
to run a fever that would
inevitably climb to 104, 105 or
106 degrees.

Make runoff
as important 1lll
issue as El Toro
I t was not a good week for
anyone who enjoys New-
port Beach's waters.
Yes, on Wednesday a
strong swell rolled
through, bringing with it big
waves for surfers who'd been
suffering a several-week lull.
But they didn't get to enjoy it
because of several sewage
spills that closed one of the
city's top surf spots: the jetty, at
the mouth of the Santa Ana
River. ,
That spot actually e:iperi-
enced two closings during the
past days, the first when a pri-
vate line burst and the second
when a 1,000-gallon spill that
closed a total of 2,000 feet of
beach.
A third.spill on Wednesday
sent about 500 gallons of raw
sewage into the Newport
Slough, forcing its closure as
well.
That's far too many spills
and far too many closures.
Newport Beach businesses,
hotels and landowners thrive
because of the crystal clear
water, seven miles of beaches
and the world's largest plea-
sure harbor.
Huntington Beach in 1999 is
all the example that's needed
of what can happen if a city's
major attraction is lost.
There are many theories and
thoughts about where urban
runoff is coming from and what
keeps causing these spills. It is
not important to rehash them
again. What is important is to
urge Newport Beach leaders to
take the problem seriously -
as seriously as they take the El
Toro airport debate or main-
taining the flight caps at John
Wayne.
On those two fronts they are
spending time and money lob-
bying the federal government,
other Orange County cities and
county residents. It is time they
do the same when it comes to
protecting the city's precio'1S
waterfront, which clearly is
being polluted inland by other
cities, by sanitation facilities
and by inland residents.
Such actions don't absolve
Newport-Mesa residents from
also making sure they keep the
waters clean. And Newport
Beach should actively work to
get the message across at
home about the dangers and
consequences of polluted
water.
But the city needs to look
beyond its borders.
Recently, for example, lead-
ers from Orange County's
coastal cities attended the
Orange County Coast Assn. 's
annual state-of-the-environ-
ment luncheon. Newport
Beach officials should take
advantage of such meetings to
hammer home their concerns
and demand solutions.
Alter all, it isn't just Newport
Beach residents who are on the
beaches and in the water.
There should be enough
money to go around
The-Newport-Mesa Uni-
fied School District got
mixed news this month
from Sacramento.
The good news was that four
of its elementary schools, Sono-
ra, Rea, Whittier and Wilson did
so well on student performance
tests th.at its teachers are eligi-
ble for what amounts lo a bonus
from the state.
The bad news was only one
-Sonora Elementary -stands
a good chance of seeing any
money because more schools
than expected qualified for the
reward.
Despite setting aside $100
mlllion for the program, there
isn't enough to go a.round to the
1,346 schools eligible.
But teachers at the 280 or so
schools that will get money can
expect a grand reward: 1,000
employees with the greatest
gains will receive $25,000 each;
3,750 staff members will receive
$10,000 each and 7,500 others
will receive $5,000 each.
It is sad, however, that unex-
pected success will not translate
into expected rewards, and it is
too bad there isn't at least a lit-
tle something for everyone who
helps teach our children.
But even if those three other
schools can't share ln the cash,
they can share in the idea
that they have made their
community very proud by their
accomplishments.

I laugh all the way to the bank
when I think of the alleged
consumer advocates' attack
on utilities, which are the victims,
not the cause, of our power crisis.
I receive a royalty for elecbici-
ty generated from geothermal
steam. It is now more than three
times the amount I received dur-
ing January and February of
1999.
The cost per kilowatt hour
purchased by Southern Califor-
nia Edison is more than it
charges its customers. It does not
take much brains for an honest
man to see that this is unfair and
won't continue for long.
The majority's willingness to

process of law.
One cause of our crisis is high
oil and gas prices. The solution
requires production of more fuel
and/or development of alterna-
tive sources of power.
A short-term Band-Aid could
be oil and gas price controls. But
that would reduce the incentive
to drill and .keep the price up m
the long run.
We need a state and national
energy policy that will encourage
oil and gas production and devel-
opment or sound alternatives.
Another cause is Jack of
capacity to generate the needed
electricity. Edison used onJy pn-
vate funds for its generation at
Edison, Florence, Huntington
and Shaver Lake.
Los Angeles took pdrt of Ecti-
son's distribution system and gets
power from the Hoover Dam at
less than ddequate return on the
taxpayers' uwestment.
Generdtors are not d good
investment because of the
unfnenclly business atmosphere,
particularly in California, and the
prospect of arbitrary price con-
trols, taxes and other (egulations.

Beli:S-argument f ar f rom convincing
Ud like to take exception with
Joseph Bell's colwnn ("Censor-
hip deprives all students of full
education,• Feb. 1) in which in one
grand sweep he •backhands"
Wendy Leece and "clears up~ the
creationism issue.
Personally, I agree with Wendy
Leece in the examination of the
viability of questionably controver-
sial new books to the school read-
ing lisl
There are many people in the
local populace who would rather
err on the side of conservativism
when it comes to keeping unnec-
essary sex. violence or abuse out of
the educational envirorunent for
our young people.
It is not a matter of censorship.
The kids should not have to get a
permission slip to study controver-
sial material. rather they should
not allow the study of overly-sala-
dous mat.e.dal 1D our schoo.lt.
As for Bell's sage advice about
the •exploding• of creationism, is
it not true that evolution is a theory
and not actually proven?
I'd call it pseudosdenoe when
the theoiy of evolution is taught in
schools as fact. Only 100 years
ago, the prevalent world view was
that the universe and tts life fonns
Rick Rainey
REBUnAL
were the result of intelligent
design from a supernatural creator.
Darwin, in 1859, planted the
seed for a paradigm shift in the
world view of creationism with his
book, •Tue Origin of Species.~
DarWin stated that if his theory
was true, there should be a large
number of •m between types•
found as fossils. He also said that
the absence of such intermediates
was lhe •most obvious and serious
objection• to h1s theory.
It is well known that any true
transiti.0041 species bas never been
found in the fossil record.
The famous fossil expert
Stephen J . Gould and the Ameri-
can Museum people are hard to
contradict when they say there are
no transitional fossils.
In his book, Darwin sought to
explain the origin of all life forms
without the benefit of intelligent
guidance or a supernatural act of
creationism.
Whal about the Divine Watch-
maker argument?
Bishop William Paley, in 1818,
said of the watch •that its gears,
springs and other mechanisms
could never arise by the actions of
random chance alone:
Modem microbiology has
revealed that the most sunple
organisms, even cells, are incredi-
bly complex machmes beyond our
imagination, with "hundreds of
factories" within each cell.
Evolution's concepts of upward
orgaruzabon and system assem-
blies violate natural law, such as
the entropy laws and the Second
Law o! Thermodynamics, which
says that order always proceeds
downward (not upward) to disor-
der or decay.
Those who are artists or design-
ers know the actual amount of
thought, planning and execution
that go into the making of some-
thing simple, such as a painting.
Why does It take such a stretch
of faith to comider that we are all
here as part of a plan executed by
an entity larger than ourselves, as
we consider the incredible myriad
oI systems and life forms, that
seem to work together, from our
galaxies in space to the small t
cell on earth?
Personally, I'd ll.ke to see more
open-mindedness on the part of
the evolutionists.

more than 90%,
I talk to wants
El Toro. It's just
a Jack of
information.
And that's going
to change.
We're going to

, LOOKING INTO
THE FmRE
'Right now
I feel we are
doing everything
the right way to
get it done.
I don't have a
crystal ball,
but I have a very
strong sense
we will have an
airport at Bl Toro.
It will be smaller
than originally
planned.'
n the fall, Steve Bromberg,
John Heffernan and
Gary Proctor, were elected
to the Newport Beach City
Council in the biggest
turnover in the city in two
decades.
While all three have vowed to
improve relations between the
council and residents, they also
have energized the council on
an old, lingering but also loom-
ing issue: the El Toro airport.
Monday night, the El Toro
Reuse Planning Authority is set
to reverse its position on
extending the flight restrictions
on John Wayne Airport, a move
that likely will heat up the bitter
battle petween North and South
County once again.
Bromberg sat down with Pilot
City Editor S.J. cahn to discuss
where that fight is headed, and
bow Newport Beach is doing in
getting a second Orange County
airport built.
How would you cbaracterlze the
current state of the m Toro debate
and the potential for c:omtrudlon
of an airport ID South Countyf
It's active and very aggressive on
both sides. People have the idea we
ought to can El Toro altogether and
just concentrate on JWA (But) I
really do believe that the potential
for an airport Is good as long as we
have the county on our side. The
federal government wtll have to
become involved 1bi.s II federal
land and the need for more airports
has become a national issue.
That's why El Toro II so impor-
tant. There are a lot of people who
want to separate m Toro and John
Wayne. They're tied together.
Everywhere you look, in the papers,
there is a need for airports. U we
don't have an airport at El Toro, bow
are we going to deal with the need,
20, 30, 40 yea.rs from now? We need
El Toro.
I thJnk a lot of people who think
we should separate them. they're
good people, but we haven't done a
good job making lt clear why tbe
issue needs to be tied together.

the process. I don't thmk the stance
has changed.
South County has done a magnif-
icent job of spinning their position to
South County people and across the
border to ours. That's where the
prob\em lies. And you'll see our city
become active in disseminating
accurate information on John
Wayne and El Toro to North County
and to our own.
A lot of those people dtdn't vote
the way they did (on the anti-El
Toro Measure Fl because they don't
want El Toro. In those lunds of situa-
tions, we need to become proactive
to make sure every citizen knows
the truth.
Is the pr<Hlirport side of the
debate losing the public relations
battle to antt-alrport forcesf Why or
wbynotf
No. We have three of the five
county supervisors supporting El
Toro. The •debate• literature from
South County is •spin• material.
The pro-aiiport side, other than
thoseactually invwved,Meseeing
that without El Toro, we may well
lose the support of the county as a
need exists.
I don't think it's a matter of win-
ning or losing. Virtually everybody,
maybe not everybody but more than
90%, I talk to wants El Toro. It's just
a lack of information. And that's
going to change. We're going to get
the word out.

Regarding Janice David.son's
Feb. 20 CommUDity Commentary.
As a recent City Council can-
didate (in Costa MeSQ), I attend·
ed several televised council
forums. During each of these
forums, I stated that Ubby Cow-
an and the current City Council
listened to the citizens of Costa
Mesa and then completely disre-
garded what the citizens had to
say.
. Despite this, the residents of
Costa Me$a decided to reelect
Cowan.
I agree that during council
meetings Cowan acts as if she .,
•owns the city and acts as a dic-
tator . .,, But it is too late I The citi-
zens of Costa Mesa have spoken
with their vote. At the present
time, a recall is inappropriate.
I am very glad to see that
Gary Monahan has decided to
listen to the community and act
accordingly.
Remember it takes three votes
to decide an issue. With Mona·
han, Chris Steel and Karen
· Robinson on the council. I feel
that the city is in good bands.
Instead of asking Allan Roeder
for a recall, you need to ask
Roeder if it is possible to remove
Cowan as mayor and return her
to a position as council person.
Monahan can then fill the
mayor j>osltion. In my opinion,
this would be in the best interest
of the community.

Workman said of the fan support and
attendance at Mississippi. •1 tried to stay
away from Orange Coast as much as possible
because it was Mike Thylor's show and he's
doing a great job.•
Workman has moved on as he depends on
his belief in God. He also maintains his
health by Wting weights or playing
basketball.
He said when things settle down with the
caring of his father, he plans to help a friend
in a missionary ministry, aiding
underprivileged families in Nicaragua and
the Philippines.
•Tue only frustration I have about that is
we have places like that in our own country,"
Workman said. "There's a lot of exciting
llungs to do out there. There really is."
And, he believes there are reasons for
everything.
He d1dn't get the assistant coaching job at
Whittler College that he was prollUSed by
three school presidents. He didn't get the job
he really wanted, either: head coach at East
L.A., where he once played as a tailback. He
felt like he was bemg slapped in the face, be
said.
H e entered tus successful stint at Edison
by chance. He saw then-Coach Vince
Asaro while walk.Ing into the same tax return
office and Asaro offered Workman an assis-
tant's job.
At Edison (1971-1985), he earned Sunset
League Coach of the Year honors in 1976,
78-81, 84 and 85. He was Orange County
Coach of the Year in 1979-81, when his
Chargers dominated the opposition with d
32-game winning streak and the nation's No.
l rank.J.ng in 1980.
Workman is also credited with starting the
first drug testing program for high school
athletes in the U.S. in 1985.
in 1971, he told his wife, someday he
would be the coach at Orange Coast. And, in
1986, his statement came true. He would
have never gotten there had be received the
job at East L.A.
"Great job, great people. Who could ask
for more,• Workman said of tus time at
Orange Coast. "I didn't try to get to the
university level or the NFL because I matte
that decision. I wanted to be home. I wanted
to watch my kids grow and let them know .
who I am. I don't regret that. Would I like to
be coaching on the sidelines at the Super
Bowl? Who wouldn't? But, at what price? I
knew I wasn't willing to pay that price. Most
of the coaches have had a divorce . I didn't
want one.•
As The Daily Pilot caught up with
Workman last week, one of his former
players, Dave Lopez, approached him and
gave him a great hug. Lopez credits
Workman for getting him through college
and earning a degree at University of Pad.fie.
Workman says he can't go anywhere
without bumping into one of his former
players. And, he loves it. The encounters are
Just one of many unexpected events and
people that come through his life.
"God is in charge,• Workman said. "We
