One of Newport-Mesa's leading lnsh-mayor-counalman- restaurateurs, Gary Mona- han, has agreed to allow me to live out yet another rruCilife fantasy. Yes, I know, you've heard this one a thousand times -Italian bartender in an Irish bar on St. Patrick's Day -but I'm very exoted, thank you. As an obnoxious young man in the Village of New Amsterdam, I worked as a waiter 10 a number of tine eatenes, specifically Patncia Murphy's m Yonkers and Mayer's banquet hall in the Bronx. Are there still ban- quet hdlls? Patricid Murphy's had a ~~al gimmkk, by the way, wruch served as one of my early lessons in marketiny. From the moment you were seated, young women in l.Jttle Bo Peep outfits Wllh huge baskets of hot onna- mon buns and fresh popovers would roam from table to table. They actually called them "bun girls" and got dWdY with il -a clear sign of how much more innocent those times were. By the time your salad arrived, you were so stuffed with sticky buns and popovers that the onJy thtng you wanted next was a nap. Everyone raved about the "huge· porbons (they weren't), then went happily on their way, sporting at least one doggy bag apiece. Where were we? Oh yeah, bartending. I en1oyed waiting tables and was very good dl it, I ought add, but 1 WdS alwdys fascinated by the bar I had this image of leaning on the bar and Wlping a glass while some lost soul poured his heart out about his so-called We. I also liked that thing where they sllde·a glass of beer the length of the bar and lt stops right in front of the person who ordered it. I doubt that ever happens in real life. because there are all sorts of glasses, elbows, napkins and bowls of nuts m the way, but 1t looks very cool in the movies. Problem was, l wasn't old enough to tend bar. In those days. just after World War I, you could drink and wait tables 1Il New York at 18, but you couldn't tend bar until you were 21. But now, I finally get my chance. But wait. Being a life- long, big-time St. Patty's Day fan, it gets even better. Thanks to the benevolence of the proprietor of Skosh Monahan's (Newport Boule- vard and 20th Street in Costa M esa, write it down) I get two fantasies for the price of one. Bartending and doing it in an Irish bar on St. Patnck's Day! Does it get any better than that? I Uunk not. OK. here's the deal. This week , it's on-the-job train- ing. I'm not telling you when.

It makes it easy for plating also, when you want to send it out to the customers. DP: What made you want to be a dessert chef instead of a chef who creates e ntrees? M: I've loved pastries since I was a child. I love to eat them, I love to taste them, I love to learn about them. I love creams, I love sugar, I love chocolate. It makes people hap- py.

M: I love the rich caramel col- ors, especially the combination of deep red with caramel colors. DP: What's Involved In present- ing a dessert? M: It's a variety of things: clean- ness, a nice contrast with crunchy to creamy, with a nice sauce. You want to see the different textures on the plate.

In America's big melting pot, we have found that our Irish roots have served us well. Our first au pair, which we temporarily imported when our daughter Annie was bom almost 16 years ago, was from Ireland. It was quite a controversy with her family to send Caire, . a nice Catholic girl. to an "orange" house. We are Pre.- byterlan. Her family had to get quite a few references for us before they would allow their youngest daughter to travel to such a potentially dangerous family. On the other hand, our favorite baby-sitter as the kids grew up, and still one of our favorite people, was Anne Kelly, a nice girl from a big. Irish family. For years, in a futile attempt ~ borrow from my youth and replicate the sham- rock experience for my own family, I tried to grow them m the garden. Maybe it was just poor placement, or maybe the greenhouse variety plants are just not meant for outdoor hv- ing, but l could never get the thoroughbred shamrocks lo take hold. I have, however, had more than my fair share of theu nasty cousins, with oxalis growing in the grass and clover sprouting where I don't intend it to ~. So maybe the Irish f~y traditions have become a bit diluted as I raise my br~. The kids are not crazy atiOut the traditional meal, and I do not send shamrocks to them at school. The Irish branches on the family tree are getting a little higher, but it's still fun to make a big deal out of St Pabick's Day.

But the 21st Century, thus far, has been differe nt and this week was a doozy. 1l has become obvious there are no sunple solutions to school violence, but board members a t the Newport-Mesa Unified School D1stnct are off to a decent start with their zero tolerance policy regarding bullies. Jn many cases. zero tolerance polices can go too far. A well- intenlioned e leme ntary school student can bring his hand- made knife to school for show- and-tell and receive a suspen- sion . The same goes for "Den- nis the Me nace," who would be poLiticdll y incorrect in today's society cdrrying that slingshot in hjs back pocket. Peer pressure can lc(\0...!;i:iil- dren down the wfong path to drugs and alcohol. Rather than automatically e xpel such stu- de nts. suspensions, support groups and counseling should be sought first. A zero tolerance pohcy in those situations often serves as a cop-out a nd a q uick solution for school ofhc1als who wish to clean their hands of unwanted ~abilities. However, schools can't be blamed for tha t desire. Students are individuals and many of them a re the victims of ne glect an d need special atten- tion. In some cases, only schools can provid e that help. A zero tole ra nce policy pe r- taining to bullies, howeve r, can hit the spot. When 'it comes to bullies. we need to focus on their victims. who receive inten- tional pain. Have there al~ays been bul- lies? Yes. Does that make it right? No. No one should have the right to inflict pain upon an innocent victim unless it's in the midst of a war. where the inno- cent are unfortunately a tragic side effect. At Santee High School near San Diego, C harles Andrew ··Andy" Williams. 15, allegedly killed two stude nts and wound- ed another 13 people. Later, classmates revealed that Andy was ofte n picked on and failed to stand up for himself until employing his father's rev~er. Before lhis week's shooting. the Newport-Mesa school board was in the process of revising its zero tole rance policy to include bullying. Can it eradicate bully- ing? Thal would be highly- doubtful given that students have to leave campus once the school day ends. But can it save a lot of students from unneces- sary torture? That, of course, is its intention. Solving the bully problem at school and promoting respect for others at both home and school are great steps in staving off school violence. After all, if the re were no bullies to harass Andy Williams, it's possible the Santee shooting may well have been averted. City Council should continue arts debate W hen the slow- growth G reenLight measure first was proposed, New- port Beach city leade rs present and past echoed a single thought: Only a small, vocal minority supporte d it. Then the Nove mber election came and two-thirds of vote rs threw their support behind the idea that the city was developing, expanding and overcrowding a little too fast for their comfort. Now, another issue has come up, and again a small, vocal group is leading the charge to shut it down. Only this time, the City Council is listening to the opposition to a proposed arts and education center on open land behind the central library. On Tuesday, the council ts set to vote on whether 1t will even consider further study of the plan, which most likely would lnclude a survey of residents as suggested by the dty'• artl couuniJlion. It look.I to be a close decWon, one that still could go either way. It lhouldn't be, however, bec&UM coundl metnben have nothing to Jose by simply con- tinuing to look at the plan. They won't lose city mone y -an anonymous donor has pledged money to the arts com- mission to pay for the survey. They won't lose a piece of open land -the council can make sure the 12 acres stay clear while the debate continues. And they shouldn't be afraid of losing the public's support - if the survey is done correctly. And they have the power, plus the responsibility, to direct it. Clearly, the survey should not ask only: "Are you in favor ol an arts and education center in Newport Beach?" That answer 1s obvious. Questions about whether a center should be put on one of the city's last remaining piece of open space need to be included. Only then will the results be commanding. Council members should · want those results, which amount to a vote they don't even have to pay for. After all, dty leaden badly miljudged the public tentiment behind Greenllght. It would be a 1hame u they milcalcuJated th• pulH of the community again. ~ fh•J.

Government should get out of the arts T here is no end to wha t we can think up for govern- me nt to do. It could be endless. However, some Uungs are legitimate for government activity, and some things are not. The latest bad idea for local government involvement may be coming from the Newport Beach Art Commission. a bny body of three or four people that wants the Newport Beach tax- payers to assume the teaching of art, starting, of course, with our children and progressing. of course. to anyone they choose. That leads to the prime ques- tion: What's wrong with the commission putting its enthusi- asm, sincerity and support behind legitimate art instruction in our public schools -not to Reba Williams SOUNDING BOARD mention our colleges and universities? We definitely don't need a nother building behind the central library. This whole busi- ness of government meddling in a rt becomes quesllonable when one realizes that some taxpayers have great difficulty defining what constitu tes art. The field ts tilled with contro- versy. What is beauty? Is beauty art, and ls art beauty? It certain- ly isn't answered by that oft-L quoted and tiresome phrase,· "beauty is in the eye of the beholder." That means: There's no such thing as beauty, a sad state indeed. We. as Newport Beach tax- payers. should ask ourselves if we are really dying to involve ourselves in inevitable public controversy developing from human sensibilities, offense, community divisiveness, even outrage and censorship, espe- o ally when we have Jost the ability to even teach our chil- dren to read? The whole thing is best left to artists themselves, their private sponsors and,_most of all, their customers. We ask the art com.missioners to get this stuff off our plates and put something there that's more digestible. • Re8A WIWAMS Is a Newport Beach resident. Zero tolerance just excuses school officials I think'that the idea of zero tol- erance originally was well intentioned.Butlhavefour children, and we've been in the ...school district .for the last 20 years. We personally know several people whose lives were altered very negatively because of minor mistakes that were dealt with under the zero tolerance -such as one in which a young boy in elementary school forgot he had his pocket knife in his pocket. Another student noticed it, told the teacher and he was lmmedi· ately expelled. There are many, limilar examples.

Newport-Mesa's education leader, Robert B.arbot, gives his take on the challenges faced here. W hethe r it's fluctuating test scores or youth violence, elementary and high sch ool campuses seem to be topic of debate as well as the target of the meclia spotlight these days. At Newport-Mesa Unified School Distria,th~ campus violence has been nearly nonexistent. Still, education leaders are considering ways to make the punishment for bullying and threats of violence even stronger. How local schools stack up with combating these issues is one of several questions we posed to Newport-Mesa Supt. Robert Barbot. Barbot, who hasspent 15 years as a superintendent, the last three here in Newport-Mesa, and several years as a high school counselor, sat down for a chat with Daily Pilot Editor Tony Dodero last.week to discuss some of the key issues facmg students, parents, teachers and administrators h e re: How has being a superintendent, or even an edu~ator. changed over the years? believe 1t or not, violence in schools on a nabonal and state level is on a ma1or declme. That being said, we're concerned about any violence. We want to make sure we focus on fuu.ng the reaJ problem with violence.

Doily Pilot • Owens and winning, it seemed to be hand-in-hand W en aging Orange Coast : College football players 1 reflect back around a :balf-century ago, they never fail to · :Speak admirably or a sterling line :c<>ach named Johnny Owens. Although Owens passed• away some years ago in the Stockton region, his heart still held a warm spot for OCC and the Pirates' campus. ln addition to coaching, he tat.1ght in the industrial arts section. The balding, stocky Owens often featured broad smiles and grins on and off the field. He was very popular with the players, coaches and faculty. His biggest gift was head coach Ray Rosso, who always treated Owens with kindness abd the wannest respect. He knew Rosso had quickly climbed to the top or the junior college gridiron world after his term as a Navy fighter pilot in World War ll. ln 1946-47, Rosso joined Chaffey College as head ,grid coach and led the school to , two fabulou~ seasons, including a trip to the Junior Rose Bowl against an Oklahoma team. Orange Coast was blessed the first two years of 1948-49 across the forward walls. Owens was pleased to welcome bruising guards like Rod Gould, Gene Johnson, Edwin Hanson, Bud Graser, Carl Borg~on, Gary Borgeson, Gary Gray and Leo Cjlade. { He was also ; Don Contrell impressed to see the hne talent lined up among the tackles like Al Muniz, Bud Stange, Dick Balch, Dave Patterson, Dick Stemen and Dick Freeman. They were blue-ribbon players. Muniz would return in '51 and help lead OCC to an East- ' ·SIDELINES ern Conference title. Many of the players ha.tled from Harbor High, Huntington Beach and Orange. Owens was a fo nner Orange High coach, whit h obviously drew some top Orange talent. Although OCC only won three games in '48. it wanned up its fans early by winning the first two games. It was even bnghter in '49 when the Bucs went 8-2·0 and were invited to a bowl game. They turned the bowl game down since injuries had taken a big toll during the season. And, a championship season would have to wait until '51. ' Some of the yesteryear players ' who still laud his coaching and understanding includes lineman Ed Mayer, Bob Woodhouse. Boyd Horrell, Al Muniz and Fred Owens. One of the finest defensive marks for the Pirates in '49 was shutting out five rivals and holding two others to one touchdown each. Rosso was a calm diplomat on the grid scene, but Owens took it upon himself to create a verbal storm wben he didn't approve of certain events. One example of that arose one night against Chaffey dunng what was deemed •the fog bowl." Vision was extremely limited. At some point, however, Owens swore he 1saw the Chaffey coach on the field entering the Chaffey huddle. He ' rumbled to the rival huddJe, only to discover it was a game referee who resembled the Chaffey coach. That • led to a red face, bµt It didn't discourage Owens 'from keeping the refs alert. ·1n numerous games, mostly in high school days, he had a habit of running down the sidelines and shouting, •1nellgible receiver downfield ... Ineligible receiver downfield." In time, Orange County refs came to Ignore his shouting since they realized he was pulling their leg most of the time. Owens used to wear baseball caps to the football games during Orange days. When any upsetting event would bother him, he would jump up and down and throw his cap down. Then he'd stomp on it, much to the amusement of fans. Les Miller, a 1943°"'5 Harbor High grid coach. often laughed about Owens. He once said, •1 always meant to ask Johnny how many baseball caps he went through in one season.• Some recall the time when the late Rod Gould, a prized guard, and center Horrell, took each other on a one-on-one buil.
