C lasping each . other's little

The after-school swing dance

more popular each week, said Lau-

stepped fo~ard to learn the boys'
role and even out the partners.

move -triple, triple, rock, step -

The girls giggled and tried to
stay near their female friends. The

were not going to dance with
another boy.

Every few minutes, Kelly would
call out to everyone to change part·

over again, only to settle down once
the students bit the bullet and
picked a new partner.
Then c~e the real favorite -
the two-person spin, where part·
ners keep hold of beth hands.
By that time, I was the only one
left watching Kelly's feet, trying to
figure out exactly how to do the
triple step -everyone else was
having fun shuffling quickly to get
to the spin.

Ana canyon, and when it
emerged. 19 people drowned
in the village of Atwood before
inundating the rest of the
county.
All this led to the building
of ll\e Prado Dam in 1941.
After the flood, our beaches
were covered by driftwood in
piles about 10 feet high, bush-
es, milllons of oranges, dead
rabbits and squirrels, rat-

number of cactuses.
People today can't possibly
imagine the amount of cactus-
es we had in those days. Every
canyon, every gully, every
ravine was covered with cac-
tuses, which apparently don't
have very strong root systems
because after every storm. cac-
tuses lined the beaches.
Owiey and Sam Oxarart
and I were down at the river
mouth watching the flood and
noticed the big waves in the
river -some four or five feet
high. We got the idea of going
up river with surfboards and
riding those waves down to
the ocean.
We took our boards, put
them in Sam's convertible with
the top down and drove inland
as far as we could go. We got
about as far as Atwood, maybe
25 9r 30 miles inland. The plan
was for Charley and I to ride
the boards to the ocean while
Sam would drive back and
pick us up when we got there.
Cllarley and I put the
boards on our shoulders,
which was the way you car-
ried those monsters. We
stepped into the water and
immediately stepped back.

Wmter holds ori for at least one more storm
with another half-inch e:q>eet-• eel to fall OYemigbl and into

NEWPORT-MESA -The
wind was whipping and the
puddles were pooling Monday
as a late winter storm swept
through Southern Califomia.
The storm, which moved
down from. the North Pacific
and through Northern Califor-
nia.. bas produced gusts of
winds up to 30 mph along the
coast and up to 50 mph near
the inland mountains.
Brandt Maxwell, a • meteo-
rologist with the National
Weather Service, said dark
douds poured hlill an inch of
rain onto Newport Beach and
Costa Mesa during the day,
•1t•s a little bit late in the
-season for storms, but usually
you will get kind of a last rene-
gade storm in April.• said
Maxwell.
The stonn is expected to last
throughout today, with tl;le
majority of rain falllng
overnight, followed by scat-
tered showers and possible
thunderstonns.
Surf has remained relatively
small, with swells in the 3· to 4-
foot range. Hqwever, a medi·
um-med swell out of the west
is projected to hit Newport ear-
ly today, said Sean Collins of
Swtline. •

their measure simply tacks
on an extra step to the plan-
ning process by giving resi-
dents the final say on pro-
posed developments.
However, the opposition
says the Greenlight initia-
tive brings into question
representative government.
And some fear that if it
passes, residents -in their
fervor to stop traffic increas-
es -. will deny all future
development, which could
potentially strangle the
city's revenues stream.
•The analogy I use is if
somebody walks up a the
doctor and says 'hey, I've
got cancer,' you don't kill
the patient,• Edwards said,
referring to Greenllght's
potential to quash the city's
development. "(Greenlight)
doesn't address traffic.•
Councilman Gary Adams
said if the new group can
get the signatures together
in time, he would support
putting it on the November
ballot alongside the Green-
llght initiative.
"I'm delighted that
they've taken this on," he
said. "My interes~ has
always been the fa~ that
this is an affront to our rep-
resentative form of govern-
ment."
The group hopes to begin
circulating its petition as
early as next week and sub-
mit the required 6,800 sig-
natures in June.

" ,'we n~ed plan that works for West Side
By Tim Cromwell
Y our article regarding tlle
West Side spoke of redevel-
oping 19th Street into some-
thing similar to Pacific Boulevard
in Huntington Park, thereby satis-
fying the 55% Latino population
(•What will it take to make a bet-
ter West Side?• March 20).
ln the mid 1980s I developed
three shopping centers on Pacilic
Boulevard (which at the time was
in pretty bad shape) and can tell
you why Huntington Park is dllfer-
ent than what we have here on
th@-West Side.
The City Council of Huntin!;J-
ton Park acting as the Redevelop-
ment Agency used its power of
eminent domain to take proper-
ties from ex.isling owners. It then
assembled the land into mar-
ketable parcels, sold them at dis-
counted prices to qualified devel-
opers, and provided several city-
owned parking lots at the rear of
those of thos~ projects so that the
retail shops ate fronted to Pacific
I Boulevard, thus making them
pedestrian friendly.
Pacific Boulevard is a busy thor-
oughfare, 19th Street is a dead
end and unless you live west of
Placentia, there are few reasons to
drive that way. The opportunity for
a successful shopping center is
dismal without more street traffic.
The density of Huntihgton Park
is about four times that of Costa
Mesa. The higher the density, the
better chance y.ou have for pedes-
trian-friendly retail projects.
Also, Huntington Park is 94 %
Latino compared to 55% for the
West Side. Do the other 45% of
the West Side population want
"Ranchero music that spills from
its many record stores onto the
wide sidewalks" as your article
stated? Or would they prefer retail
Dunes, counterproposal
doesn,t cut it
• EDfTOR'S N01E: The following Is an
open lener to the Newport Beach Plan-
ning Commission.
T his le tter concerns the cur-
rent proposals of Evans
Hotels with respect to the
expansion of the Dunes Resort as
reported in the Daily Pilot today.
(·Dunes project still on drawing
board," April 5).
I urge you to reject their •coun-
terproposal· with respect to the
size of this hotel.
As you know from my prior
communications, I urge you to
reject any expansion beyond that
permitted by the long-standing
agreement between the city of
Newport Beach, the county of
Orange and Evans Hotels.
This current •counterproposal·
is in and of itself unacceptable.
This process should not be per-
ntitted to become a flea market in
which Evans Hotels proposed
36,000 square feet of conference
space, the city directs them to
reduce it to 25,000 square feet of
conference space and Evans
Hotels counteroUers at 31,000 .
square feet of conference space:
stores that served everyone?
H there is a need for certain retail
uses like "Ranchero music, alliga-
tor-skin cowboy boots or white
taffeta prom dresses," believe me.
the developer will be ready and
willing to sign those.leases.
I noticed that Huntington Park's
director tor the Chamber of Com-
merce also failed to mention that
along with the regular festivals
that are held in Huntington Park,
·P.acific Boulevard has had riots
d'uring the lasftwo major soccer
games involving Mexico.
1\s you can see, there are major •
differences between the cities and
some large obstacles in the way.
I would love to see the West
Sid~ redeveloped but I believe the
City Council will bave to become
a "par1ner• in the process, exercis-
ing its. power of condl:!mnation,
and stop trying to please special
interest groups.
Do the West Side residents
want to keep the current mix of
liquor stores, auto repair shops,
and residential all within a stone's
throw from each other?
Do we really want higher den-
sity, or would we be better off by
replacing those old apartment
buildings with new, single family
homes?
Will there ever be any positive
changes without the city stepping
in and causing it to happen?
It amazes me that the nicest geo-
graphical location in the city is also
the one in the worst physical and
economic shape. I would like to be
proud of all areas or Costa Mesa.
The current West Side is not as
bad as Pacific Boulevard was in the
early '80s but without implement-
ing a plan that works, it could be.

BRIAN POBUOA I OAJlV PILOT
Costa Mesa city consultants say they believe converting the West
Side lnto a pedestrian-friendly retail area will help lmprove the
neighborhood. But some residents disagree.
MAILBAG
Everyone continues to struggle
with this project because of the
simple fact that it is too big for the
area in which it is proposed to be
built.
Evans Hotels infers by its public
statements that if they d o not get
what it wants m tenns of confer-
ence space, it will abandon the
project. That is probably the best
evidence as to why this project
should be abandoned. The 25,000
square feet of conference space
proposed most recently by the
commission reportedly exceeds th~
conference space available m any
existing hotel in the oty.
Why is it that hotel operators
such as Hyatt, Marriott and the
Four Seasons are able to operate
with lesser conference space and
Evans Hotels is not?
The Daily Pilot reports that
Commissioner Ed Selich states he
is prepared to acquiesce to the
36,000 square feet request if the
proponents can manage the
crowds. I would respectfully sug-
gest the issue is not whether the
proponents can manage the
crowds, but rather whether the
residents of Newport Beach should
have to put up with the crowds.
Evans Hotels has consistently
responded to traffic congestion
criticisms by referring to the

Now they contend that they
cannot operate an economically
viable hotel without sufficient con-
ference space to make up for room
vacan cies.
The traffic and crowds associat-
ed with the use of conference ·
space have absolutely nothing to
do with amval and departure
times of hotel guests. It is obvious
that Evans Hotels contemplates
marketing the conference facilities
to a substanllal number of users
who are not hotel guests.
Conference trafhc is all day

Lastly, 1t is reported that Evans
Hotels also wants to squeeze an
additional 18 hotel rooms into a
different spot in the project.
It is time to stop jumping
through hoops to shoehorn this
inappropriate project into this
Back Bay location.
You should reject the latest
counterproposal from Evans Hotels
and demand that it adheres to its
long-standing agreement with the
citize~ of the city and the county.

Newport Beach shows
its 'reer face
Does it not seem 1ust a bit hyp-
ocntical that the city of Newport
Beach donated in cash a total of
$37,000 to the newly created
Newport Beach Film Festival
(under a year in existence), while
failing to support the previous
Newport Beach International Film
Festival (four years in existence)?
If the city of Newport Beach
wanted a different festival -sep-
arate from the one that Jeff Con-
ner worked so diligently and
unselfishly toward for more than
four years -then why does the
city support the current festival
whlch is a carbon copy of the pre-
vious film fesllval (i.e., sam~ staCf,
same volunteers. same pr0gram-
mers, same theater venues, same
recepbon venues, same sponsors.
same filmmakers, and same
name, albeit one word)?
I guess I won't be attemptlng to
create a nonprofit organization
within the city of Newport Beach
any time soon -you never know
which olits two •faces• you will
see.

EDUCATIONALLY SPEAKING
Grad rzight
funds could be
better spent
W hy docs 1t cost $175 to
$300 to keep one per-
son entertained for
eight hours? That works out to
$22 to $37 .50 dO hour
What has led to this spiraling
cost of hlgh school grad nights?
Why are we willmg to fork over
that much money for a senior to
have a good time whtle most of
us don't contnbute that much m
a year toward their high school
education (not counting sports, of
course)?
High school service clubs and
grade-level groups often hold
overrught lockups Church
groups do the same. A lockup
means that when the kids go into
the gym or facihly, they will stay
there until the next mornmg It is
a way to ensure that our kids are
safe and that they stay out of
trouble._
That was the onginal reason
for high school grad rughts. Many
high school graduations were fol-
lowed by a night of dnnklng by
the graduate. That resulted tn
acodents and deaths.
So, parents who wanted to
stop that from happening came
up with a great idea. They put &1.1
of the Juds from the seruor class
m the high school gym for the
night. The parents proVIded some
music and food with the under-
standing that once the grad went
m. he couldn't come out unbl
morning.
Not all grads attended grad
night. For that reason, parents
decided to make 1t more fun
They began desigrung elaborate
sets that transformed the school
gyms into casinos, Italian Vlllas or
the Taj Mahal.
The food was transformed
from sandwiches and cooloes
made by moms to food bars and
elaborate buffets. Entertamment
now includes rock climbmg,
comedians. mag1c1an~ and much
more. Raffles, where the students
can walk home with fdntaslle
pnzes, are now the norm
ln fact, the production became
so time-consunung that the moms
and dads can't make it happen
with their own sweat eqwty. Pro-
fessional companies now market
grad rughts at pec1hc locations
throughout the country
The Juds don't spend their last
night of hlgh school rem.im c1og
with each other at the h1gh
school gym. Now. parents spend
the semor yt?ar ra1smg the thou-
sands of doUars it takes to subsi-
dize the price of each ticket.
Even with that effort. seniors are
facing a $75 to $100 pnce tag for
one night ol fun _
Maybe we need to rethink
Grad Night altogether Maybe
more kids would come if it cost
$20 instead of $100. Maybe they
would have more fun U\ the

reforms
• Newport Harbor coach
will attempt to create Sweet
16 playoff in boys volleyball.
D an GJenn's revolutionary
ideas about CIF Southern
Section playoff reform in
enrollment-based sports, were shot
down by Sea View League
administrators Last week. So
Newport Harbor High's boys and
girls volleyball coach will now
concentrate on shaking up the
system in boys volleyball next
spring.
In response lo the section
council's recent decision to ban
teams from playing in anything but
their assigned division -a practice
Glenn had routinely followed to
give his teams the biggest
competitive challenge available -
he will propose a Sweet 16
tournament to crown the section's
, best boys
~------. volleyball team.
Barry Faulkner
PREPS
The proposaJ
would create an
elite division, in
which the top 16
teams in the
section,
regardless of
division, would
compete against
one another to
produce a
division
champion.
The 16 teams
would be chosen,
based on merit, by a section playoff
committee. They would have no
say in wnether they were chosen
for the Sweet 16 or not.
Those teams not chosen, would
fall back into four enrollment-based
divisions, each of wbich would
crpwn its own champion, similar to
th'e fonnal that now exists.
•1t would be like an invitation-
al,~ Glenn said of his plan, which,
he said, has already garnered sup-
port from some Sea View League
coaches.
Glenn said the beauty of the
plan 1s that it may appeal to those
with traditional powerhouse pro-
grams, as well as schools in Jower-
enrollment clivis1ons, which would
be perennially challenged to over-
come small-school juggernauts like
Santa Ynez, Corona del Mar, even
Laguna Bedch.
The CIF Division IV champion
Estancia High boys soccer team,
which was ranked 10th nationally
in a recent coaches' poll, will be
honored for its hallmark season
May 1 by the Costa Mesa City

Those interested in witnessing
the well-deserved tnbute, should
be at the counoJ chambers at 6:30
p.m .. according to Estancia Coach
Steve Crenshaw.
University Hlgh's dominatton of
the Pacific Coast League baseball
race is so blatant, it could engender
some resentment.
But the respect which Coach
Chris Conlin and his program have
earned from anyone who has
crossed paths with the ll'ojans over
the years, instead leaves its
increasing list of league victims

DAllY PILOT
COSTA MESA -The first day of ~ring
break turned into a spring training game for the
A.B. Miller High baseball team. which used 17
players to complete a 10-0 victory over Costa
Mesa in the second round of the Pride of the
Coast Tournament on the Mustangs' diamond.
It might not have come to that, however, had
Costa Mesa averted a dropped popup with two
outS in the second inning, which opened the
door for five UT1eamed runs and put the Mus·
tangs behind, 8-0.
"If we catch that popup. it's still a 3-0 game,•
same Mesa Coach Kirk Bauermeister, whose
BASEBALL .
squad will. weather permitting, host Orange
today at 2 p.m. on the Mustangs' campus.
Jesse Chavez followed the costly miscue
with a three-run home run to right field and
three Rebel pitchers combined to limit the Mus·
tangs (7-11-1) to three bits.
The 10-0 verdict, finalized in the sixth, was
the third mercy-rule decision sustained by the
Mustangs in their last four garnet. Pacific Coast
League rival University thumped the Mus-...
tangs, 11-1 and 10-0 last week, before Mesa
broke open a 2-2 tie with Bolsa Grande Satur-
day with a seven-run sixth inning to claim a 9-
2 first-round tournament triumph.
Sophomore Nick Cabico led off the game
with a single for Mesa, the designated visitor
Monday. Cabico, who walked in the third
inning, had an infield single in the sixth to sup·
ply two-thirds of the Mustangs' hit total. He
also stole a base. .
Junior Steven Shores had the other hit for
the Mustangs~ singling with one out in the sec-
ond. Shores, however, was erased with a 1-6-3
double play, the first of two twin killings by the
Citrus Belt representative from Fontana.
Miller (12-6) also cut down a runner trying to
steal second, helping the Rebels face just three
more than the minimum.
Miller starter Abe Alvarez struck out six in
three innings. He gave way to Juan Rodriguez,
who worked one ~g. then handed it over to
David Wilbert for the final two frames.
Mesa junior left-hander Jeremiah Haubrick
was one of few bright spots for the Mustangs.
After giving up the aforementioned homer to
the tyst hitter he faced, he held the Rebels

Nonetheless, Livingston
and two other Giant
linebackers, .int:luding the
great Sam Huff, came to lhe
attention of millions in 1958
when Life Magazine
conducted a widespread
feature QD the remarkable
trio that worked under the
late Tom Landry while he
was an assistant coach.
The Giants were alto
sparkling brightly because
they had earned the right to
face the Baltimore Colts in
the '58 NFL championship
game. The Colts eventually
won in a sudden-death
playoff with Alan Ameche
diving over goal-line
defender Livingston.
Final: 23-17.
Although OCC President
Dr. Basil Peterson was
basically opposed to the
whole idea, he was faced
with strong support for
Livingston from the Costa
Mesa-Newport Harbor Lions
Cabico, however, fielded
the ball off the fence, spun
and threw to shortstop Billy
Halverson, who relayed tt to
catcher Galel Fajardo in time
to nail the runner trying to
score from second. Jt was the
second out of the inning, but
an RBI single by the next hit-
ter brought the game to an
early end.
Miller, which emptied its
bench after the second, had
13 different players reach
base. Nine different Rebels
got bits, as Angel Santiago,
who came off the bench, was
the only Miller hitter with two
hits.
