MOMJAY, MAY 28, 2001 More trees headed to Corona delMar • The planting will bring the number to almost 200, far more than have ever lined East Coast Highway. Mathis Winkler D AILY PtLOT CORONA DEL MAR -East Coast Highway will soon be home to more than 90 addition- al trees after Caltrans approved the planbng Thursday. City officials had stored the trees -king palm trees and Hong Kong orclud trees -since October and waited for the state agency's go-ahead. The planting should begin next week and be completed by the end of June, said Don Glas- gow, who chairs the village's business improvement district. Glasgow added that the highway has never been lined by more than 100 trees. Togeth- er with 100 speoroens that have already been planted over the past two years, East Coast Highway will soon get close .to the 200 mark. The trees form part of Vision 2004, a redesign p roject for Corona del Mar's centennial in 2004. In addltion to tinear parks along street medians, park benches and water fountams, the plan calls for a repa.vmg of the highway and the replace- ment of Caltrans~style street lights with nicer-looking models. Village leaders hope the pro- ject will create a more pedestri- an-oriented atmosphere and turn the business district into a shopping and dining destina- tion. While Vision 2004 support- ers, such as Ed Selich, who also cha.us the aty's Planning Com- mission, ongmally came up with the idea after ficus trees had been removed from the side of the highway, the city must take control of East Coast Highway from the California Department of Thansportation in order to make the changes. Negotiations with Caltrans officials over how much money the dty will receive as a result of taking over maintenance responsibilities will take place before June, when the Califor- nia 'lransportation Commission will hold a public hearing to make its decision regarding the proposal. Caltrans officials have said they would prefer a complete relinquishment of the highway throughout the dty or at least up to Newport Boulevard. Caty Council members. Who still heve concems over the finanang of the $12-mWion project. oppose that idea, and Vision 2004 sup- porters have said they hope to convince the commission to just band over the Corona del Mar portion of East ~t Highway . ..um.mm ........ ..-.:... ................... _. _,__ __ 7 _____ ..._, .-"S .. _ ....... __ , ........

Ready to save lives Mllthls Winkler DAILY PILOT NEWPORT BEACH -With a light drtzzle falling on the beach from a .cloudy sky Thursday morning and sea gulls outnumbering people by far, it seemed difficult to imagine that summer lurks around the comer. But while Memorial Day weekend is widely considered to kick off the warm season, Brian O'Rourke, a life- guard lieutenant in Newport Beach, said for them, summer's still a few weeks away. Memorial Day weekend •is really not the kickoff of summer for us,• said the 34-year-old Newport Heights res- ident wlule sitting in an office at life- guard headquarters on Newport Pier. About 150 seasonal lifeguards won't start working until June 23, when school ends and the beaches start to fill up all week long, O'Rourke said. ·u ·s really just weekends right now,• he said. O'Rourke grew up in Glendale and came to Orange County for its water What's AFLOAT Newport Beach's lifeguards are ge~g up for summer. which. for them. is still around the comer polo teams.

'200°1 3 , 1bat's not President Bush riding his bike Corona del Mar student ·pushes to make a dift'erence S o the other day, I'm sitting in the newsroom with one of our newer editors, discussing something important I'm sure, when I noticed be was glandng up at the TV that sits in the comer of our newsroom. The TV was tuned to the Orange County Newscbannel, proving of course, to those readers who thought we just watched soap operas or Laker games all day, that we stay on top of the news. Anyway, the editor mentions that the two people who are taking part in some talk-show type discussion on the TV sure look to him like a couple of George W. and Laura Bush impenonators. I took a good look at the screen and had to laugh because the George Bush look-alike was none other than lol)g- time Orange County Democratic Ieader and attorney and sometime Democratic sacrificial lamb candidate Jim Toledano. The farthest thing from George Bush I can think of around here. •That's an awful thing to say about somebody,• Toledano joked when I recounted the story to him last week. All kidding aside, I wanted to catch up with Toledano because I had heard he was taking part in a 575-mile AIDS fund-raiser bike ride from San Francis- co to Los Angeles and I always wonder just what possesses people do things like that. Especially someone like Toledano, an attorney who probably spends much more time filing legal briefs than watching the Tour de France. Toledano said he got interested in the race after former wife Peggy Toledano did the ride last year. He said •If she could do it, I can do it.. Since then, though, be has won- dered about that bold statement. ·1 have never in my We done any- thing remotely resembling this,· said r.

It says 'Stop, this is bard work..'• Still, he said he's really excited about tbe race, called AIDSRide, which begins next Sunday in San Francisco, where the riders will cruise down parts of the historic Highway 1 to Santa Cruz and then meander inland a bit, finish- ing six days later on June 9 in Exposi- tion Park in Los Angeles. Toledano, who has been training since February, has raised more than $3,000 so far for the race, but he notes that he's just one-0f 3,000 riders who will take part in the event and that the top money raiser this year is a 17-year- old cyclist who has taken in more than $10,000. "I'm just one little guy in a huge enterprise,• he said. The money goes toward research for AIDS and HIV and for support of those afflicted and for prevention of the dis- ease. To train for the grueling race that has daily treks of 88, 102 and tlle short- est at 50 plus miles, Toledano has been riding the trails and bike paths around .Newport Beach and Irvine. And he wanted to give a plug to Sea Schwinn on 17th Street in C~a Mesa, where be sai(S he bought his bike and bas gotten great support and riding advice. Speaking as someone who, in slow motion, finished the Rosarito Beach to Ensenada bike ride, but not before keel- ing over from exhaustion and delirium. I can attest that riding a long distance race without preparation ts no fun. So I hope Jim is getting the best of training. I wish him luck. • • • Former Newport-Mesa school board member and longtime Pilot columnist Jim de Boom told uie a 'funny story the other day. He arrived at a local restaurant a couple minutes late for a recent meet- ing with six fellow members of the Orange County Coast Assn. De Boom glanced around the eatery looking for his party and, not finding them. he got a table himself. He was soon joined by Marian Bergeson and Newport Dunes honcho nm Quinn. The trio waited quite a while for the rest of the gang to show, but when it looked like they were being stood up, they just had the meet- ing without them. Later on, with the meeting and the eating done, de Boom got up to leave and, lo and behold, when he took a look at the very next booth, there sat the rest of the coast association contingency, Art Gronsky, former Costa Mesa Mayor Arlene Scheafer, and local business people Jack Mullan and Sandra Rabus. Apparently those four had also thought they were stood up and held their own meeting as well. No word yet on whether both groups made different decisions. •TONY DOOERO is the editor.

Deepe lhanth DAILY PILOT NEWPORT BEACH Josh Ludmir is not a naive teenager. The Corona Del Mar High School senior knows he can't change the world and make the ideal of peaceful coexis- tence a reality overnight. But he sure believes that empowering fellow students with knowledge and aware- ness about diversity will help them take a positive. step toward tolerance. So Ludmir put together the school's first ever Toler- ance Day to be held Wednes- day. For Ludmir, it is the cul- mination of bis senior project -two years of hard work, of facing resistance from the school and the students, of arguing with bis peers. •1rs hard to change the mind-set of a whole communi- ty,• he said. "In our school, we have more or less a homoge- nous environment. That makes it all the more impor- tant to create awareness and promote tolerance and under- standing through education.· Ludmir calls bJmself a ·double minority.• He is part Latino and pa.rt JeWi.ah. When he came to high school. Ludmir said be found not many students were proud of their ethnicity. •It's like they just pass and proceed,· he said. 1b.e harsh- est criticism Ludmir said he got was: ·ob well. nobody cares about this stuff." His project also seemed idealistic and impraCtical to the school. "But I think I was pel'$is- tent, • Lud.mir said. •And with the incidents of bully- ing and violence that hap- pened in our school, people gradually began to realize the need for Tolerance Day.• The day's program will indude six workshops con- ducted by organizations such as the Anti-Defamation League and the Orange County Human Relations Commission. The event will also feature speakers and panel discussions on the subject of religion, hate crimes and tolerance. Ludmir said he had a lot of philosophical questions in bis own mind as he orga- nized the event. •At time8,.I questioned my own motives for doing this,• be said.

The action scenes during the attack phases of the program were nothing less than spectacular, but the depiction of the explosions shq,wed a lot more fire than is really involved with bomb bursts, but I realize this is necessary to give an .aura of realism and dramat- ic effect to show the horror of the scenes being por- trayed.

All the kids played volleyball at recess,• Herrington said, recalling her first days at Harbor View Elementary School. Herrington, who would become one of the finest" all-around players to come out of Corona del Mar High, learned the .inside game of volleyball at ail early age.

Her:rington, a 5-foot-11 outside hitter for CdM and the University of the Pacific, goes by her married name these days (1hminger). But, for the sake of continuity, the latest honoree in the Daily high school, Herrington played in the U.S. Olympi~ Festival in the sum.mer of 1985, then attended UOP on a volleyball scholarship. Deciding on UOP was easy for the heavily recruited Herrington. At the time, several former Orange County Volleyball Club members were playing at UOP, while dub teammate Elaina Oden, Irvine Higb's 1984 CIP 4-A Player of the Year and future Olympian, had committed to UOP. • UOP just rubbed me right,• Herrington said. •And, with a lot of the girls there who played under Charlie, we all spoke the. same language.

After a stellar collegiate career, Herrington went on to play two years of professional volleyball in Europe. "I loved playing defense,• Herrington said. "I played it well, because I loved it so much. My favorite part of the game was defense, and, without trying to sound too cocky, I think I ended up being very good at it. Charlie taught us to be mentally tough, and taught us how to be super hungry to win all the time.• As a CdM senior, Herrington led the Sea Kings, coached by Brande, to the CIF State Division I championship in the fall of " 1984, after beating Gahr in four games, 9-15, 16-14, 15-10, 15-6.
