T he wne has come for
Andrew GJassell to do a lit-
tle maintenance on his pier.
The 84-year-old Balboa Island
resident is putting in some red-
wood flooring and guardrails this
week, replacing the weathered
wood that used to be there. But
the structural heart of the pier -
a 00-foot-long trunk of solid fir
that was once the mast of a
schooner -isn't going anywhere.
Besides an occasional coat of
gray paint, GlasseU said. the
massive trunk hasn 't needed any
maintenance since his father.
William, put it into place in 1925.

William Glassell found the
mast, which was just one or
three from an old schooner, at
Fellows and Stewart yacht main-
tenance yard in San Pedro. Rec-
ognizing its potential use, he
obtained the enormous log for
the sum of $25. Another $5 paid
for a fisherman to tow it down
the coast.
And that's where it's been
ever since.

P ro baseball player Jeff
Davanon spent a recent

cross-legged second-graders at
Mariners Elementary School in
Newport Beach.
The Anaheim Angels outfielder
captured their attention. But
Davanon didn't grab the students'
imagination by just talking about
his career. He read them a book.
Davanon is a celebrity reader

the school's quality of education.
The foundation's program was

promptly become the pr,esi-

the death of Myford Irvine.
And so I met Charlie
Thomas for the first time. At
some kind of a community
gathering to welcome him I
was master of ceremonies
and kidded him in my irrev-

to me for two years. Then
we became golfing part-

with Newport Cttnter as its
heart. As Fashion Island and

built, Charlie would look up
there and say that was his
Acropolis being built on than

As I am writing this it Is

of a day we were gomg to
play golf, but it had rained
and we couldn't take carts

there were no caddies, we
decided to puU carts. but that
was way below Charlie's

that we all gave up golf for

the county's library system. Now, according to your article, Newport Beach Costa Mesa is similar to
Irvine in that it spends more
for library services than it
takes in. It is expensive for a
city to maintain a library sys-
tem, so most Orange County
cities belong to lhe county
system.
Much of Costa Mesa's pop-
ulation that could most benefit
from easy access to books has
problems getting to a library.
Some senior citizens and
many families with young
children don't have cars.
But, what ll kids had
access to books and a quiet
place to study right in their
neighborhoods? What if lhey
could format a paper on a
computer or do research on
the Internet near their homes?
What if parents and senior cit-
izens could get books Without
wonying about transportation
lo th~ library?
What if story time for
small kids was five blocks
away, instead of dear across
town? Wouldn't easy access
during the summer lead to
increased usage?
Costa Mesa already has
satellite libraries all over
town, in the form or school
libraries. The buildings,
books and technology are in
place. Also, Orange Coast
College bas a big library.
All we need to do is have
these different governmental
entitles work together to
form one subsystem, which
would be available to all ..
Adults could use the school
libraries after classes were
dismissed for lhe day.
The city could help by
funding the labor needed to
keep the libraries open extra
hours. It should also hire a
coordinator to put on pro-
grams periodically at each of
the sites. The programs
would get great exposure
just from announcing the
event at school.
High school students, who
are required to perform com-
munity service. could help
with library duties, story times
and other programs. A certain
portion of each school library
could be designated for rotat-
ing books, which would move
from library to library. nus
would supply an endless set
of new and different books for
each library site. nus plan would require a

son for this order
is that the forest attracts fish to waters pol-
luted by the Orange County Sanitation Dis-
trict's sewage outfall. Since the marine for-
est is just off of the Balboa Pier and the
sewage outfall is 4 112 miles out to sea from
the Santa Ana River mouth, one must con-
clude that the sewage outfall's impact is
more widespread than previously acknowl-
edged. With the water being so polluted,
there should also be posted resbictions on
fishing from nearby piers.
Our government should focus on clean-
ing up this pollution instead of removing a
thriving habitat. The Coastal Commission
would find it much more challenging and
rewarding to attack the sowce of the prob-
lem instead of a feisty French scientist.
ROBERT CAUSTIN

Defend the Bay Newport Beach
Great idea but il seems he ~y have
gone about it wrong.
Did he get a permit to build on federal
lands? Was there any environmental
assessment? ls the Marine Forests Society a
bona fide nonprofit organization?
lf the answer to these questions is no, he
has asked for a problem.
Also, you say they are cultivating kelp
and mussels. ls he harvesting as well?
(Using a public resource for private gain?)
We need to reestablish more habitats in
areas that have declined, but it seems if
they let him slide it would set a precedent
and anyone could go out and set up aqua-
culture off our coast with no review, which
would not be in the interest of the public. It
will be sad if it has to go only for lack of
proper planning on their part.
JEFF STEVENS
Newport Beach
I recently fished in a small boat over
Sbiechenberger's marine habitat off the
coast of Newport Beach. I was amazed at
the abundance of sea life, especially Calico
bass. We hooked and released quite a
number of them and all of them looked
very healthy.
I can't understand how the Coastal
Commission would be worried about this
habitat attracting fish to a polluted area or
injuring fish. I've never heard anyone
express that same concern over the many
artificial reefs constructed by the State Fish
and Game Department in the Newport
Beach and Huntington Beach areas, nor the
outfall pipe from the river jetty in Newport
Beach.

In the days that followed,
Fajardo was asked to eulogize his
own athletic life.
Though his future goals include
a run for Cong ress, Fajardo refuted
the notion that he would never
again throw hlrnseU in front of
bouncing pitch es, or take a foul tip
off an exposed body part. He said
he planned to try out for baseball
at UCI, which will resurrect Its
progtam next spring.
Though realistic enough to
know his chances at college

idea that years from now, on some

Community and business leaders play key
rol~ in campaign to repair schools.
D•nette Goulet
DAILY PILOT
-I t began more than four years ago. Teachers, parents,
principals -fed up with the conditions of the schools -=-an talkin about the ma·or OVJ:!rhaul they want-
ed to do to campuses throughout the district.
When talk began, the number on the tip of everyone's
tongue was $15 million. But that didn't last long. One
school board member scoffed at that figure, predicting it
would be closer to $100 million.
Now, after countless hours put in by community mem-
bers, D-Day is near on a plan that aims to solve the prob-
lem for at least the next three decades. In a special election
June 6, if two-thirds of Newport-Mesa voters approve
Measure A, the schools will get an injection of $163 million.
ArchHect Fred Good con-
firmed School Board President
Dana Black's belief in February
1999, when he announced the
initial estimate of the schools'
infrastructural repairs would be
between $75 million to $112 mil-
lion.
Good found that 1.8 million
square feet of the district's build-
ings were in need of repair.
During the months that fol-
lowed AN Good's
OVERVIEW ~~~he
tbesdloOO
with prin-
cipals, teacbeis and parents, sau-
tinizing each campus and check-
ing every nook and cranny in an
effort to detennine what needed
to be done.
A 'MASTER PIAN'
In June 1999, the long-await-
ed •facilities master plan" was
released. The total cost to repair
and modernize the crumbling
schools was put at about $127
million -a number. that elicited
a collective gasp from the com-
munity.
But reports bad come back of
rotting ceilings. leaky roots, tan-
gled and aging wiring and class-
rooms that were in every imag-
inable state of disrepair.
Things were so bad at Ensign
Intermediate, that district officials
considered it might be cheaper to
simply tear the building down
and start from scratch.
Determined to present an
impeccable plan as a means of
garnering community s upport.
the district then assembled a facil-
ities committee made up of local
business and community leaders.
Those 30 community members,
along with district staff, retraced
the steps of Good and school st.aft,
sautmmng each school and~
room, looking under sinks and
behind toilets.
·we talked to principals and
fac:ility workers to determine if
the projects in the original plan
needed to be done, if there were
additional projects, or if any had
been accomplished." said Mark
Schultheis, the co-chair of the
facilities oommittee who walked
all the secondaJy schools. •The
things we found were things you
may miss as a casual visitor,• he
said. "One thing that was clear
was inadequate plwnbing-one
faucet working out of three. There
were similar issues with aging
heating."
The oommittee was charged
with reviewing and revising the
plan, something they did several
times. They set a standard that
they felt each school and class-
room should be brought up to.
'The group was also asked to
explore the possible funding
options available to the district.
Fmally, the group presented a
lengthy and cnnprebensive final
plan to the school board in
January.
The bottom line had once
again shifted and now the total
to repair the schools and bring
them all up to the same stan-
dard was $163 million.
In its report. tbe fNilWes can-
mittee recommended a bond of
up to $110 million be placed
before voters in a special June
election. This would cost each
homeowner, on average, S.S.50
per year.
The district hopes to gel the
remaining Sil mUUon from the
state in the form of matching
funds. Those state dollars would
come from a S9.2-billion school
bond that voters approved in the
general election in November
1998, but they woo't be around for
long. The money will be distrib-
uted on a ~t-come first-serve
basis.
In fact, much of the funds from
that particular pot bave already
been doled out. said Mike Fine
~superintendent in chaJge
·of finances. Although the dollars
Newport-Mesa hopes to vie for
will come out of the state school
bond program, they may have to
wail for voters to pass another
initiative like the $9.2 billion state
Pro~tion 1A.
Along with the endon;ement of
a general obligation bond, the
committee suggested the sale of
two district-o~ed properties to
help pay for future maintenance
upkeep. The committee recom-
mendation selling the Banning
Ranch and Balearic sit.es, with the
revenue being invested.
But following an explosion of
c:ommunity outrage over the pos-
sible sale of their neighborhood
park, residents surrounding
Balearic Park won the school
board's promise that the site
would only be sold with the con-
dition that it remain a public park.
SCHOOl IOND SOlUTIOll?
After a series of five study ses-
sions delving into various key
areas, such as the spedfics of an
<Mnight canmittee, mainlenance
reserve and the type of tu to be
imposed, the school board voled
to put a $110-miWon school bond
before voters for the tint time in
the district's 35-yeer history.
In light of the district's marred
financial history-ioduding bor-
rowing $47 mWion to invest in
the Orange County pool just
before the b8nk:ruptcy and a muI-
timiDioo-dollar er:nhez7Jement-
the board felt it needed to indude
safeguards in the propoied bond
to gain cooununtty support
The measure created will hold
the district to several key CXJrn-
mitments:
• All proceeds from the bond
must be used for the specific pur.
poses outlined in the district's
facilities master plan.
• A citizens' oversight com.
mittee was to be created to over-
see spending of the funds.
• Uthe bood passes, the district
must establish a reserve fund
within five to seven years, equal-
ing • % of the district's annual
budget, for the upkeep of schoob once . .
The type of band that has been
chosen by the board would be
paid off in 25 years with level
payments. Tile average payment
would be $22·.35 tor a.home that
bas an assessed value of $100,CXX>
COlllllmU IN amoN
The school board has since
developed a two-tiered oversi9h1
committee as promised.
-::rhere will be a 29-memoor
district oversight committee aod
oommittees of seven to 11 mem-
bers at each school site.
It will be the responsibility ot
these groups of citizens to ensure
the funds from the propoi.ed
school bonds are spent in a time-
ly fashion and according to the
facilities master plan released m
January.
For the main oommittee. lhe
trustees have developed a specific
list of where those 29 represen·
tattves sboukl ame from. All po51-
tions will be appointed by appb-
cation process and each member
shall serve no more thdn two
three-year tenns.
The smaller committees will
be active only oo their campuses
and may not be made up of a
majodty ol district employees.
Former and current school
board members arid their
spouses may not serve on the

DAILY PILOT
NEWPORT-MESA -As the
June 6 special election approach-
es, the faint rumblings of oppo-
sition to Measure A have begun
to grow louder.
UnW now, there has been no
organized opposition to the pro-
future repairs to schools.
The problem with that plan.
English said, was that. after 25
years when the school bonds are
paid off, the school board can
spend that large endowment
fund however they like.
Furthe rmore, the board is
under no obligation to ever put
money i.Qto that endowment fund
promises an interesting few
weeks leading up to the special
election.
"Let's just say there is going to
be some activity against it,·
English said.
Meanwhile, a ha ndful of
Newport Coast residents is
mounting an attack of their own
against the proposed tax.
of our efforts.•
The one other action the
group will consider taking,
Willinger said, is placing an ad in
the paper.
The residents in these areas
are not opposed to supporting
public schools, but simply feel
they already pay more than their
fair share of taxes and should be
exempt from the bond, Willinger
said. "There are
Measure A supporters, how-cockroaches in my

EngliSh's compiairilS. howev-
er, are not quite accurate, said
Mike Fine, assistant superinten-
dent in charge of finances.
Lead by resid ent Alfred
Willlilger. d smci.ll group rrom the
coastal Mello-Roos-district have
begun to encourag~ their neigh-
bors to vote "no" on the mea-
sure, mainly becav.se they feel
they already pay more taxes than
other Newport-Mesa residents.
aiea~-_...___ --4 he1e cause th'"""''H----------t1
The main voice of contention has
been that of Daily Pilot columnist
Steve Smith, who has repeated-
ly attacked the school board and
the facilities plan.
But now two groups. the
Orange County Young
RepubliCans and a small group of
Newport Coast residents, have
emerged with the intention of
crushing Measure A.
Newport Beach resident Kurt
English, a past president of the
Orange County-Young
Republicans, said the organiza-
uon intends to fight the bond
measure.
After m eeting with Newport-
Mesa Unified School District offi-
cials, ~glish said he is more con-
vtnced than ever that the bond
must be defeated.
English was particularly con-
cerned about the district's pro-
posed endowment fund, which
theoretically will remain intact
while the school board scrapes
the interest on the top to fund
After the 25-year life of the
bonds. the money in the e ndow-
ment fund may be spent on the
repair of facilities or construction
of new facilities, Fine said .
Another option is to 1ust leave
the funds in place, he added.
As for the disbict being oblig-
ated to put money into the
endowment fund, Fine said, the
plan is to create the endowment
with the proceeds from the sale
of the district's Banning Ranch
property.
The district, however, cannot
specifically commit money that
they do not have yet. he said.
English also criticized the
board for spending taxpaye r
money on a special e lection.
"The perception is that they
are trying to sneak this through.·
English said.
Although he will not share the
group's plan of attack, English

This is the first school

"We strongly believe that

unjustified,· Willinger said.
Newport Coast is one of sev-
eral Mello-Roos areas in the dis-
trict. Residents there pay a spe-
cial tax to pay off bonds that fund
public improvements, such as
roads, post offices, and schools.
In their campaign to defeat
the bond measure, the residents
are concentrating their efforts
solely on those Mello-Roos dis-
tricts, which include Newport
Coast. Newport Ridge. Bonita
Village. Castaways and Harbor
Cove, Willinger said.

PIO • THE BOID DEIATE
'Yes'onMeaSureA is best/Or.the kids
If M easure A
goes down,
the schoolkids
will be the
inju~d parties -
and equity in
taxation
will off er little
solace for that
l eaking roof.
By Joseph N. Bell
W e've finally reached the end
of the trail.
In twq weeks we will
decide at the ba:ilot box whether or not
we are willing to tax ourselves ever so
slightly in order to provide our chil-
dre n with civilized space in which to
get an education . Not plush or frivo-
lous or ostentatious space, Just toilets
that flush and faucets that work and
roofs that don't leak.
I've been immersed in this issue for .
several months, and it is very clear to
me that it all comes back to the ques-
tioo I asked in my first column on the
school bonds: what is best for the kids?
I've listened to a cacophony of
adult voices making what I consider
unfair charges against the members of
this sChool board, and tax nay-sayers
who apparently think they have no
stake In helping to meet the cost of
educating our young people.
The argwnent that the taxpayers
have no assurance the bond funds will
be spent properly by an untrustworthy
school board has been addressed and
destroyed. No fair-thinking person
could possibly pursue that argument
in the wake of the assessment of the
bond proposal by Orange County
'Ireasurer John Moorlach.
Using criteria developed with a
group of the toughest local anti-tax
conservatives, Moorlach gave the
highest grades across-the-board to
every aspect of Ule Newport-Mesa
bond proposal.
The main components of his assess-
ment were: provision of a set-aside
fund for future maintenance; making
sure Ule bond money would not cut
into the district's future maintenance
budget; making sure Ule bonds are
not all borrowed before the funds can
be put to use; ensuring proper use of
the proceeds; and provision of a com-
munity oversight committee.
These are precisely the issues on
which the bonds have been attacked
by opponents. How could their con-
cerns possibly be dismissed in a more
effective way than the Moorlach
report card? In a letter transmitting it
to school Supt Robert Barbot,
Moorlach wrote: •1 firmly believe that
those registered voters in your district
that intend to vote in favor of your
bond measure can do so with a strong
confidence that it is being pursued
with the utmost professionalism and
oversight•
So it comes around, then, to the tax
nay-sayers -and especially those
local citizens who feel particularly put
on because they are already paying
higher taxes for their Mello-Roos
assessme.nts. They say they want
"equity" in taxation.
But the kids who live in their school
district want equity in leaking roots.
Buying into a M~Roos cormnunity
was a free choice that doesn't remove
district-wide obligations to kids with
leaking roofs -especially when the
tax bite amounts to a dinner for two
once a year at an upscale Newport
Beach restaurant.
If we're talking about principle
here rather than the size of the tax
bite, let's look at it from the other end.
The end that asks, "What's best for the
kids?" If Measure A goes down. the
schoolkids will be the injured parties
-and equity in taxation will offer lit·
tle solace for that l~g roof.
We could debate endlessly the
alleged past sins of the school admin-
istration and school board -and why
this bond issue wasn't put before the
voters sooner. But to what end?
We come back-as we always will
-to the roof th.at lea.ks and the toilet
that won't flush and what to do about
it Adult nit-picking in that vacuum
only creates more hot air.
As with any public issue, there are
differing points of view, and I have no
personal quarrel with the people who
oppose the school bonds. But I would
suggest that this isn't just "ariy" public
issue. It concerns Ule needs of our chiJ.
dren in a very substantial way -
needs they can do n~g about
They can only depend on us to see
that they are met promptly and effec-
tively. How we got here is now irrele-
vant, and chewing this over must not
be allowed to g~t in the way of action.
The needs have never been an
issue. Even those most ardently
opposed to Measure A are appalled at
the deterioration of our school plant.
So the issue is how and when to meet
those needs. And it's hard to imagine
a stronger, better protected, more
detailed and highly professional blue-
print for action than Measure A. If you
doubt that, check with John Moorlach.
So when you step into that polling
place on June 6 -and please do -
don't kid-fourself about the impact of
voting •No." Look it straight in the
eye. You are voting to deny perhaps a
whole generation of kids in one of the
wealthiest areas in the country a
clean, decent, safe and wholesome
environment in which to be educated.
Ask yourself if you are willing to
pay that price to affirm whatever prin-
ciple you feel is being violated.
Meanwhile, hopefully-so hope-
fully-two-thirds of your friends and
neighbors will be voting ·ves. •
Berore you pull that lever oo June
6, take a moment to think about the
import of a •No" vote. And be honest
with yourseU. A vote against Measure
A may very lik~ condemn a whole
generation of in one ol the
wealthiest areas of the country to a
public school education in structures
that a Third World country wouldn't
countenance.

CON • THE BOND DEBATE
Keep up the fight against the. bond
By Steve.Smith
W e are the folks in the black
hats, the wet blankets, the
rain on the school board's
parade. We are not against a bond
to repair the schools, we cry in vain,
we are simply against this particular
bond as the means by which to do
so.
Still, we press on. nus is the language straight
from a flier distributed by the
Citizens to. Rebuild Our Schools:
•Measure A will fund only the spe-
cific repai.n and renovations needed
at each of our 29 neighborhood
schools lo met a basic standard for a
safe and healthy learning environ-
ment."
And on the bond mea~ure itself,
you will read: •To improve health
and safety conditions in neighbor-
hood schools by rehabilitating
aging school facilities, replacing
deteriorated roofs and plumbing,
upgrading electrica,l service to safe-
ly accommodate technology, reno-
vating inadequate classrooms, sci-
ence labs, and restrooms, and
upgrading fire alarms.•
Nowhere in the literature disbib-
uted by the Otizem to Rebuild Our
Schools or in the bond wording on
tbe ballot does it state that more
than Sl million of the tu dollan to
be raised from the bond on June 6
will be used to improve the football
field at Newport Harbor High
School, which includes money for
new ticket booths.
Nor will you read in the commit-
tee Diers or in the bond wording
that money is to be spent at both
Newport Harbor High and Corona
del Mar High for upgrades and
repairs to the tennis courts. There is
no mention of money for an elec-
tronic marquee for TeWinkle
Intermediate or for new lighting,
sound system and drapes for
Newport Harbor High's auditorium.
That "safe and healthy learning
environment• also includes about
S5 million to air condition schools
that do not already have it and have
gotten along fine without it.
The refreshingly frank discussion
of air conditioning in the Facilities
Report includes a mention that
some committee members wanted
the cooling system installed for rea-
sons of "parity.• Parity means that
because some schools have it and
others don't, all should have it, even
if they don't need it. Parity-fu.t'ld.ing
is a Pandora's box that is best left
unopened.
1be tennis court pork and the
ticket booth fat are only two more
items in a long list that bu not been
presented to voters in an above-
board manner.
Regardless of one's opinion of
this bond, one must agree that even
a great stretch of the imagination
could not manage to fit drapes, ten-
nis courts. ticket booths or an elec-
tronic marquee into any of the writ-
ten categories being touted by bond
proponents.
Our school board has shown poor
judgment by waiting too long to
float a bond to repair our schools.
Only now, after the schools have
passed the fail-safe point bas the
board decided to ask us for more
money -money it should have
requested years ago when it could
have saved taxpayers millions.
The delay in fioating this bond is
another in a string of financial mis·
steps from which we conclude that
it bas not demonstrated the respon-
sibility required to administrate this
much money.
I've stated before that almost
anyone reading this would have to
prove a more sound financial back-
ground to get a car loan than this
board bas had to demonstrate to get
$11 O million in bond money.
We will not vote for a bond that
will be administrated by people
who have not demonstrated the
financial acumen required to handle
$163 mution doUan or wbo refuse
to produce even one board member
·will not
vote for a bond
that will be
administrated by
eop
have not
demonstrated
the financial
acumen required
to handle
$163 million
dollars o•
who will stand up and take some
measure of responsibility for the
sorry state of our schools.
And we will not vote for a bond
that is sponsored by seven people
who have held their collective
tongues for months while others
make their case for them in this
newspaper. We may be in a presi-
dential election year, but the board
headquarters is not the White
House. Local taxpayers deserve
more than a Rose Garden strategy
for their money.
Those of us who oppose this par-
~ular bond refuse to cave into the
pleas that this bond is •tor the
kids."
We're basing our decision on the
facts, not on emotion, and we're not
panicking that the sky will fall if
this bond is not passed. Those of us
who oppose this particular bond
have set our sights much higher
than simply opening the checkbook
to hand out more money.
For the kids, we want to repair
our schools AND provide taxpayers
with a legacy of financial responsi-
bility and public accountability with
a leaner, more responsible bond.

It L'i thPir rruss1on to per;onally reach
at least 30,000 of the <l0,000 voters m
Newport-Mesa.
"I'll tell you, it's really been a team
effort,· said Gail Hedrick, a pdrent vol-
unteer from Costa M esa. "From Kaiser,
I've p"robably enl.tsted 50 or 60 volun-
teers to do everything from hand
addressing envelopes to mailing stuif-
mg and precinct wallcmg. •
Each school site has one to two rep -

to Rcbuud Our Schools -began to
~1row and branch out, enhsting hun-
dr<'ds over time.
The group began with rour co-
cha1rs from the community, Mark
Schultheis overseeing the fund-ra)S-
109, Jill Money b eading up the vol-
unteers, Hank Panian garnering the
senior vote and former Costa Mesa
mayor Arlene Schafer helping to reach
the community.
Now with three weeks left until
Election Day. there are nine subcom-
mittees with 10 cha.u people heading up
the growing number or volunteers.
They are not alone, however. They
have enlisted the aid or a consultant
with the T'rarnatola Co., Ariane Lehew.
The T'ramatola Co. has a success rate
upwards or 80% on bond campaigns,
Lehew said. And for $45,000 T'rarnatola
has lent its expertise to the dedicated
legions of volunteers.
When the committee last filed its
campaign financiaJ sta tement on March
22, $16,000 had been raised after
expenses, said Jun Scott treasurer for
the committee.
SchuJtheis estimates between cor-
porate and personal donations the
group has raised about $200,000. That,
however, is before paying Tramatola,
four office person al who receive
between $10 and $15 an hour and bills,
Scott said.
Figured into that may also be in-
k.ind donations such as the use of office
space, be added.
The committee is due to file again on
Thursday.
Under Lehews' direction, those vol-
unteers have become organized and
reached between 15,000 and 20,000
voters already.
