Blackouts darken parts _ofN~wport • Late afternoon outages leave many offices near John Wayne Airport without power for an hom. Paul Clinton and Deepa Bharath DAILY PILOT NEWPORT BEACH -An overtaxed state electric grid finally gave way Mon- day evening, causing outages in the city. Several intersections and offices bor- dering the eastern edge of John Wayne Airport were blacked out for the hour between 4:45 and 5:45 p.m. The blackouts hit traffic bghts at Von Kannan Avenue and Birch Street, accord- ing to the Newport Beach Police Depart- ment, which received about 10 rrunutes notice from state officials before the shut- down. A number of nearby intersections were also hit. The portion of the oty affected Mon- day mostly included bUSUlesses, many of which were still open durmg the hour- long P'!Jiod. Schram Rod, wtio works at Pyranud Capital Investments Corp on BU'Ch Street. said his business was unable to operate. "It affected us big bme,. Rod said. "Faxes didn't come in. We were m the middle of a networking proJect. We couldn't work on that. No calls came in.• Rod said he suspects Monday's black- out was just a sign of things to come because the summer will be even hotter and will probably produce many more power1Jrid shutdowns. He said he's afraid of what could happen at that poinL Jim and E1za Fujino, owners of Exclu- sive Pharmacy on Birch, said they were unable to help three customers dwing the black.out because their cash register, com- puters and fax machine were useless. The couple said their only rehef was that the outage occurred near the dose of the day. Everything also came to a stand.still at Optimum Me(iical Clinics, employee Chelin MerchaD said. Because the power and phones were down, the BU'Ch Street clinic was unable to help its patients dur· ing the entire hour, Merchan said. The affected area was one of three ar- Cl1its cut by Edison International durtng the Stage 3 power alert. The outage affected 33,576 people, or about .3% of the utility's 11 million customers, $aid Kim Scherer. spokeswoman for Edison.

Doily Pilot Postscripts to Soto Nish~kawa s World War II experience T his paper recently ran two very nice stories about Soto Nishikawa, who, before World Wax II, operated a curio shop at the comer of Main Street and Bay Avenue on Balboa Peninsula. I wish to add two postscripts -one funny, one not so tunny. Before World War Il, ,there was something called a "Delimitation Agreement,• by which matters of espi- onage, sabotage and subver- sion were divided between the FBI and the Office of Naval Intelligence. The FBI handled all cases involving civilians, except for the Japanese ones, which belonged to Office of Naval Intelligence. I was the Orange County representa- OBITUARY Kenneth M. Smith Robert Gordner THE VERDICT tive of the Office of Naval Intelligence. And so it was that one fine day a whole carload of very large FBI agents came to my home on the peninsu- la. They said they bad infor- mation that Soto N'IShikawa had a stash of machine guns ories -and she does- n't know which to remember first in his curio shop. I expressed some disbelief. "'Ibars a bunch of hysterical crap,• I think l said, but I agreed to go along with them. We arrived at Soto's shop, and the FBI agents became increasingly tense. Unconcerned, I asked Soto if he had any machine guns. To my surprise, but . validating FBI suspicions, he confessed he had lots of th011\. The PSI agents imme- diatelY. pulled their guns. However, just before they killed the poor guy in a fusil- lade of gunfire, something occt.arred to me. I asked Soto if we could see the guns. So, surrounded by FBI agents with drawn pistols, Soto reached into a large box and pulled out a toy machine gun. with which be shot catch. down all the FBI agents with sparks to my ill-restrained glee. So much for the fwllly part of the Soto story. Now to the unfunny part. Come World War II, Soto went to a horrific relocation camp on the Colorado River, near Poston, where the tem- peratures hovered around 110 degrees. I went overseas to the Pacific and almost ~ gle-handedl!y tirought the empire of Japan to iti knees with my pencil. And so the war came to an end. We won, by the way. I folded my uniform as a lieutenant com- mander, USNR, and picked up the shambles of a career. Then one night, I got a call from the Orange County Hospital. A patient. one Soto Nishikawa, wanted to see me. I went to the hospital, and there was Soto, very ill but looking to the futme, asking for information on the condition of his shop. I stalled and said I'd be back in the morning when he wasn't so tired. There ensued one of the longer nights of my life because Soto's shop no longer exist- ed. The landlord had leased the place to someone else. - What should J tell him? I still wasn't sure when I arrived at the hospital, but fate and the passage of a few hours bailed me out. Soto died during the night. The end of a not very fun- ny story. • ROBERT GARDNER is a Corona del Mar r1Mident and a former judge. His column runs Tuesdays.

My daughter has been driving solo for three months now, and still appreciates having ~er zero-period . class that enables her to get a nice ~de parking spot before there are any other cars around. · That is probably why I have so much sympathy for the kids at New- port Harbor High School when their Political Action Committee gave a report to the New· port-Mesa Unified Goy Geiser- Sondovol EDUCATIONALLY SPEAKING School District Board of Education on the parking situation there. Since the freshman dass is a third 'larger than the senior dass. this problem ts going to grow proportionately. Once 1he kids become eligible for their dri- cver's licenses, they have a six-month prohibition against taking passengers, which further exacerbates the situation. The thought of all of those teen dri· <Vers running out during their 10-minute break to play musical parking places in the two-hour parking zones seems like a disaster waiting to happen. One mom told me her son had already racked up $300 in parking tickets when he didn't 'get back to his car soon enough to move tt. This problem was brought to the school board's attention about 10 years ago. Let's hope we aren't still talking 11bout the need to solve it in another 10 iyears. • • • Last week, I reminded you to write a nice note to yow children's teachers. Well, parents at Sonora Elementary School took my advice to heart and asked me to publish their letter. I know ·that it applies to all teachers in ow dis· trict, so you can cut it out and paste it up at your school. Just change the name of lbe school. Here it is: · · Sonora Elementary School teachers are the bestl • In recognition of Teacher Appreda· 'tion Week we, as parents of Sonora stu-1 dents, want to brag to the world (or at least throughout Newport-Mesa) about ·our great teachers at Sonora Elementary School. When we got together to decide what we should say in this letter, every parent was excited to include appreciation for the awesome things their child's teacher ·bad done. Collectively among the par· ents, every one of the 25 kindergarten through third-grade teachers was repre- sented. Unfortunately, the letter would be much too long to print if we included acknowledgment of even just one great thing each of these teachers had done. In listening to each parent tell about bis or her child's teacher. we found a common theme. Every Sonora teacher is caring and dedicated. They work together as a team under the leadership of a great principal, Lorie Hoggard, to provide an excellent education to every student. Not only do they provide each eudent the guidance, direction and encouragement to excel, they p~vide individual challenges to each student based on his or her specific needs and capabilities. ' These awesome teachers go above and beyond in so many ways. They often sgend many of their own resources to provide incentives and recognition to their students -everything from candy and toys to showing up to cheer them on in their Saturday sports activities, dance recitals and birthday parties. • On top of all of that, they communl· ca'8 regu14rly With the pa.rents ot their «udents, letting them know the great things their child ii doing ot the extra help that they need.

Would Great Park make a viable alternative to . an airport? •AT ISSUE: The anti-El Toro coalition' of South County cities ("" voted Monday to launch • another initiative. I have lived m Orange County my entire 48 years. I remember orange groves. natticjams were unheard of. Do I like the rampant growth over the years? No. Can I stop people from moving and building here? No. Many people want to share and enjoy what Southern California bas to offer. Yet we all have to shoulder the burdens as well. How utterly arrogant of South County-where much of the recent growth exists -to expect John Wayne Airport, LAX and . others to carry the burden of that growth. With the amount of space available at the Marine base, the impact of an airport bas beer! grossly exaggerated and distort· ed. Unfortunately, many people believe lies.

No one should be fooled. It will only benefit them They couldn't care less about the rest of Orange County. The idea IS completely motivated by the NIMBY principle~ There was an extremely noisy airport in their midst when the vast majority of the current resi· dents chose to buy their homes in the Irvine-Lake Forest-El Toro area. I used to work in that area, so l really do know how noisy those military jets were. Now that the.base has closed. they see the opportunity to make their situation better than it ever was before -better than they ever dreamed -at the expense - of the rest of Orange County. I'm not qualified to assess Uie economic viability of this Great Park idea, but l seriously doubt that it's there. The viability from the stand- point of usage is also a fantasy. The site and surrounding area bear absolutely no .resemblance whatsoever to Central Park in New York. It will not function like Central Park. except for lrvine and those other South County communities. Those cities do not need anoth- er park. The developers of those conunwuties have been -in= many cdses -required to be quite generous m incorporating some beauti1ul parks in their developments I think it's ludicrous to think a huge mtemabond.l dlrpOrt IS need- ed at El Toro, and there's no ques- bon such a monster would be a blight on the beaubful communi- ties of lrvme, et d.l.
