Grease-trap proposal could .spark own fire
•The Costa Mesa Qty Council and Sanitary District cannot
agree which group has the authority to require restaurants to
make a major investment for the environment's sake.

DAILY PILOT
COSTA MESA -A small political
fire could end up being sparked by a
Sanitary District proposal to require
restaurants to install grease traps.
The district on Thursday approved a
letter stating its intent lo pass a grease-
trap ordinance, but City Councilman
Gary Monahan said the district doesn't
have the authority lo carry out its plan .
•They've got no jurisdiction,• he
said. •They can make a recommenda-
tion, write a letter or whatever they
·want to do, but it's a city matter han-
dled by our building official, and sub-
sequently by the City Council, not
them.•
Rick Brown, Costa Mesa's building
safety director, in 1999 wrote a letter to
the sanitary district explaining that the
City Council would have to approve
any ordinance requiring grease traps,
Mona.ban said.
A copy of the letter was not avail-
able by press time. ·
But according to a report by Alan
Burns, the sanitation district's counsel,
the board does have authority over
issues relating to the sewers, including
creating a grease-trap ordinance.
The letter the district passed Thurs-
day adheres lo that report.
•Tue district has the authority to
adopt and enforce an ordinance and
will work with the local agencies with-
in the district's service area in a coop-
erative manner,• the letter reads.

Lingering problem with pigeons in Costa Mesa's
Lions Park has been solved, for the most part

DAILY PtlOT
WESTSIDE -The problem pigeons have left Lions
Park.
The birds were targeted last year by the city, when
large numbers of them roosted in the gazebo rafters at
the park.
Public Services Director Bill Morris said that netting
the city put up to keep pigeons from nesting in the
gazebo bas reduced the J>roblem drastically.
The birds droppings made such a mess, particularly
on the cooking equipment underneath the gazebo, that
the pigeons became a health hazard and a nuisance,
said Joe Bogart, senior maintenance supervisor for the
city.
•Animals, once fed on a regular basis, expect a
handout from the people there, and that's distracting,•
Bogart said. •And then there's the obvious health issue.
It's a natural process: Once they eat, they have to do
something with the food.·
Lions Park Assn. member Bill Turpit said he clearly
remembers the pigeon situation of a year ago.
•There were areas on the pavement, on the counter
tops, around the cooking area and on the picnic bench-
es that were completely unusable because of the
pigeon droppings,• he said. ·vou didn't want to walk
on it, you didn't want to sit on it, you didn't want to
touch it and it also smelled.•
The problem was made worse by the proximity of a
playground for young children, Turpit added.
•1t was in an area so close to a tot lot, with a lot of lit-
tle hands an~ little feet running around, and it was real-
ly to the point where you had to watch where you
stepped,• be said. •1n front of the police substation
across the street, pigeons would sit on the wire so the
sidewalk was a mess and the mail box on the curb was
all white with bird droppings.•
City employees still tidy up the park daily and make
a special effort lo clean the gazebo area every Fridaf•
Bogart said.
Still. the area isn't entirely clean and free, Morris
said.
•Every once in a while, we get one that gets in the
nooks and crannies, but since (the netting went up) the
roosting bas reduced probably 95%,• be said .
Johnny Gonzales, wbo was eating lunch under the
gazebo Friday, said he didn't see a single pigeon.
•There are no problems,• be said. •The pigeons are
gone.•
Pigeons do still visit the park in the mornings, how-
ever, and Morris said he isn't swe why they favor Liool
Park over others in the dty.
•Certainly we have lbelten and structures in other
parks, but we really haven't seen this problem at other
parks,• Morris said. •1 don't know why. Uons Park bu
one of the higher-use sbelten, and we try to keep it free ·

COWMN The sea base's renovation will
bring the facilities up to the 2 tst
Century with new classrooms,
offices, and an elevator allowing all to access the sec-
ond story. The parking ~ot will be redesigned to allow
more parking spaces with two entrances to Coast .
Highway, making it safer for dropping ~ff the partio-
pants, most of whom are under the driving age.
The new look will be a great enhancement to the
community, which has donated every penny for tlus
project, and the harbor should be proud to have a
world-class nautical center located here.
Part of the Albatross fleet gets ready for a Newport Harbor Yacht Club race through the harbor ln 1955. There is still one more hurdle to go, as now the
blueprints have to go to the Coastal Commission for
approval. Let's hope they share our vision of provtd-
ing quality marine programs that will instill in the
participants solid values, teach effective team work.

In its time, the Albatross
ran fast through Newport
Beach's waters
By John Bl•lch
T oday, there's just one left. But in
its day, the Albatross was one of
the most popular boats of its kind fD Southern cautomia waters.
Its history dates back to about 1937,
when Walton Hubbard of the South
Coast Boat Building Co. commissioned
East Coast naval architect Philip
Rhodes to design a fleet of Bird Class
sailboats. They were the Gull, a 12-foot,
centerboard cat boat; the Falcon, a 16-
foot, centerboard sloop; the Eagle, an
18-foot keel sloop; and the Albatross, a
20-foot keel sloop.
Three "spec" boats were built in
each class. The Albatross and the Fal-
con were the only ones that gained the
acceptance of the local sailors and
became part of active racing fleets.
For a time, the Albatross with the big
•A· on the sail was one of the most
popular one-design keel boats in the
harbor. The fleet's racing skippers
included such well-known sailors as
Don Edler, Humphrey Bogart, Dick
Powell, Don Pearson, Keith Lumpkin,
Herbert Allen, Ron Merickel, Lou
Llbbey and even me.
The popularity of the Albatross was
due ma.inly to her speed as well as to
her roomy cockpit, which made for
pleasant day sailing.
Her dimensions were 22 feet 8
length overall and 15 feet 9 long on the
water line. It had a beam of 5 feet 10
and a draft of 3 feet 10.
The boat carried 900 pounds of out-
side ballast, which was molded into the
wood keel. The rudder was attached to
the after edge of the keel. Her speed is
probably due in part to the 218 square
feet of working sails. A sizable Genoa
was used when racing as well as a spin-
naker.

I have mentioned in previous columns that as a pro-

host, I travel a lot, using almost every means of trans-
portation to get to the boats: helicopters, float planes,
ferries, trains and even limos. Yet. the other day Cap-
tain Derek Lee with Executive Jet called. offering my
wife and me a chance to Oy in a private Cessna Cita-
tion Jet out of Signature Flight at John Wayne Airport.
I never miss an opportunity like this to be pam-
pered in style, and I looked at this as the perfect
chance for me to view Newport Harbor and the coast·
Ilne from only a couple of thousand feet up in the llll'.
~Newport Harbor from above really shows
how large it is, and you can see the thousands of boats
moored throughout the harbor. The next time you fly
over the harbor, take the time to Joaf'out the window

There is another brawl brewing in the harbor
about a proposed dock on Balboa Island that would
allow a 55-foot Ocean Alexapdria yacht to dock m
front of a private residence.
I don't want to take sides, but I am curious to see
how each side bas positioned their views in the media,
The yacht owner recently merged two 30-foot
properties to create a 60-foot wide bay-front pro~
This was done so the homeowner could dock his 1
yacht between his property lines, as outlined in the 1
dty codes, but I believe the dock regulations on Bal-
boa Island are different due to the public walkway
and water access around the island.
In the other comer, the neighbors do not want to lose
access to a public portion of the beach where this dock
would be built. and they do not want their view of the
harbor obstructed by the yacht My questit10 is, with
Newport being one m the largest yacht harbors in tbe
world with mOre than 9,000 boats, then bow big it too
big? A 50-footer is not a mega-yadit by any means to
dock in front of a residence, and a beautiful new yacht
can be an enhancement to the harbor's amNence,
On the other side, is it approprlate to make ~
lions that affect public beach 8CCle9 or perceived viewS?
Whatever the final decision, it is issues like this
that are the reasons the dty's haJbor committee has
spent the past two years developing the General
Plan's Harbor Element.

COSTA MESA -The
city's preliminary budget
includes almost $1.5 million
to add employees, a number
that is getting a less than
enthusiastic reception from
the entire City Council. · r -The council is scheduled to
lreview the $94.57-million
!Preliminary budget at its
jlneeting tonight.
1 It includes proposals to
add seven new employee
positions and convert seven
part-time positions into full-
time positions at a cost of
$1,46 million.
City Councilman Gary
Monahan said he is con-
cerned about the increase in
employees.
"We're adding an awful lot
of personnel,• he said. • 1
would much rather see any
excess revenue go to capital
improvements. I realize we
need additional staff in some
areas, but I'm a liWe con-
cerned on a couple of issues
ctt this point. •
Five of the new positions
are tied to community objec-
tives, including two school
resource officers and two
special enforcement detail
officers to protect people
and property, as well as one
park naturalist for Fairview
Park.
Monahan took special note of that final position.
"I mean,• he asked,
·we're supposed to hire full.
time naturalist? What is he
going to do for 40 hours a
week? l don't see it. I just
plain don't se~ it. Is he going
to be pulling weeds? What
are we doing hiring a full.
time expensive person for one
park that frankly doesn't have
a lot going on?•
Other positions, requested
by individual departments
within the city, include con-
verting part-time positions
into full-ti.In~ ones for two
maintenance workers, one
personnel ass~tant, one
office specialist and one mes-
senger.
l\vo new engineering
technicians and a pennit-pro-
cessing specialist for the sani-
tation depaitment were also
included in the budget for the
2001-2002 fiscal year.
The budget bas grown
$8.96 million from last year's,
mainly because of salaries for
new employees and street,
freeway and park improve-
ment projects, said Marc
Puckett, director of finance
for the city.
Revenue is also up $8.37
million because of sares tax
increases and grants for road-
work and freeway construc-
tion, he said.
•Sales taX has increased
6.3% because of Harbor Cen-
ter and Target Greallands
coming online, as well as
because of normal inflation-
ary increases,• he said. "The
transit-way projects for the
(Costa Mesa) and (San Diego)
freeways end up skewing the
number a little bit, too,
because of the grant rev-
enue.•
Transportation expenses
are expected to increase
$5.81 million from last year
because of projects that
include reconstructing or
repaving several streets and
adding new Lanes, tum
lanes, freeway onramps,
sidewalks and bus shelters to
others.
Other City Council mem-
bers were unavailable for
comment by w~s tinie.
if finalized. •
The council voted for the require-
ments after initially approving stan-
dards a month earlier that would have
required minimum lot sizes of 4,000
square feet, with average lot sizes of
4,500 square feet throughout a devel-
opment.. ,
Councilman Chris Steel proved the
swing vote as he changed his stance to
the smaller lot~size requirement after
the owners of the El camino Shopping
Center said the new requirements
would kill their plans to convert the
center into houses.

GREASE
CONTINUED FROM 1
City Manager Allan Roed-
er said it ls not clear whether
the city or district is responsi-
ble for grease-related issues.
"The dlsttict has responsi-
bility for the sewer lines and
the city has the authority to
enact ordinances," he said.
•unfortunately, there is some
overlap there and we're look-
ing at whether the district can
require grease traps or if the
city has to do it. (The district)
will forward the letter to us
and I would expect it to get
put .on an agenda for council
direction. It's in the discussion
sblge at this point.•
The possibility of a grease-
trap orQinance was already
controversial without this
added loop.
The sanitary district letter
is a response to an Orange
CoU:Jlty Grand Jury report,
sent to the district in April,
stating that grease dis-
charged from restaurants and
high-density residential areas
is a leading cause of sewage
spills.
The report recommends
that the district adopt an orcli-
nance to prevent such occur-
rences.
All cities in the county
received letters from the
grand jury requesting infor-
mation about any grease-trap
installation or maintenance
requirements that are not m
place. The cities have unbl
July 25 to respond.
Sanitary district board
member Dan Worthington
said he thinks restaurants are
causing the spills and related
problems, citing videotapes
from sewer line monitors as
the basis for bis opinion.
Restaur~ts owners, for
their part, have ~d they are
concerned about the cost of
the traps, which can range
from $10,000 to $40,000 per
restaurant.
Monahan, who owns
Skosb Monahan's, said a
grease trap would be the most
expensive piece of equipment
in his restaurant.
•it needs some work 11
there is going to be (an ordi-
nance)," be said. ·1 like the ·
way Newport Beach does it,
requiring them on new builds
and majorTeJDodelings. •
The owners of restaurants
should be involved in the clis-
cussio11, Monahan added.
•This ls a huge finanoal
hit. lf you're building or
rebuilding a restaurant, it's
really easy to put in a grease
trap, but to have to put one m
an existing restaurant can be
devasblting. To say that all
the little restaurants iD town
are screwing up the ground
water system ls a stretch.·
Dan Marcheano, owner of
the Arches Restaurant in
Newport Beach, said that
restaurants are very careful
about keeping grease out of
the d.ralns.
•Tue first time you pay for
a plumber, you learn that.• be
said. •Restaurant owners and
managers aren't going to put
anything down the drain
that's going to subtract from
the business or the pocket
book. We work our tail off
because we have old pipes
here -old enough to vote -
and we take care of them. We
use bi~adable soap and
de-greaser to eat up the
grease we do have.•
The blame shouldn't sit
only with restaurants, be said.
"Residents cause more
problems than the restaurants
because not everybody ls
conscientious about what
goes down the drain,• he
said. "Do we plOduce grease?
Yes, but we're not the total
culprits. ~ can lbare
the blame.•

Celebrating the millennium
Newport Harbor
• Following the long gray line in the Sailors' trenches,
the former All-CIF offensive tackle is a survivor in life.
Richard Dunn
DAILY PILOT
O nce Newport
Harbor High
lineman Scott
Craig saw the path ahead
of him. there was no turning
back and certainly no screwing
up in front of Coach Mike
Giddings.
So Craig, following a long trail
of Newport All-CIF Southern
Section offensive linemen in the
1980s, learned how to mix it up
in the trenches and protect
quarterback Shane Foley's
backside.
•(Giddings) believed in
getting in your face, that Vince
Lombardi type of fear for
motivation,• said Craig, who
later starred at tackle at Orange
Coast College and
Northern Arizona
University. "You didn't
want to mess up with
him. You didn't want to
look bad in front of the
others. You didD't want
him yelling at you, so
you performed.•
Before Craig,
Newport Harbor was
an offensive lineman's
showcase with Dave
time he returned home, his
mother, Rosemary, •already bad
me signed up• at Orange Coast
College, where football coach
Bill Workman was eagerly
waiting.
Craig started three games at
tackle in the fall of '89, when his
brother was the Pirates' most
v~uable player, then played a
huge role on OCC's Mission
Conference championship team
and Orange County Bowl ·
winners in 1990, beating El
Camino in the dense fog, 23-20.
Craig accepted a scholarship
to Northern Arizona, where be
thrived, meriting All-Big Sky
Conference as a tackle in '91 and
guard in '92.
•At Coast, I was weighing 300
pounds, then at NAU I was 270
and stronger," Craig said. "I was
no faster or no more
agile, but I was at least
stronger and lighter.•
Never strong or fast
enough to consider a
pro career, Craig was
only interested in
"doing his job" and
"hopefully helping to
put that big W up
there."
Cadigan, Brett Kacura, Scott Craig
Mike Beech and Tom
Among Craig's OCC
highlights in 1990 were
the Bucs' 35-34 upset
victory at Fullerton. a Kitchens. each an
All-CIF pick.
"The next year (1985) I
figured it was·my tum to step up
and become an All-CIF player,·
said Craig, whose play indeed
earned him a spot on the All-CIF
Central Conference team, as
Giddings' Sailors (10-3) shared
the Sea View League crown and
set a school record for victories,
while reaching the CIF
semifinals after being seeded
first.
•Giddings took a buneh of
beach boys with Hawaiian shirts
and shorts, then took them in
and made them football
players,• Craig added. "He
made a big impact on putting
Newport Harbor back on the
map. Nothing against the
coaches before him. but he
brought Newport back ... I love
him very much.•
The 6-foot-3, 250-pound Craig
was one of five Sailors to be
voted All:CIF in '85, along with
USC-bound Foley, kicker
Sterling Coberly, linebacker
Kevin McClelland and his
brother, Mark, a wide receiver.
"~ a lineman, it's just
knowing you did the job and
there's a victory up there, and
knowing you didn't give up any
sac.kl as a whole group,• he said.
Craig also played basketball
and was an All-Sea View League
ba.leball pltcher in 1986, when
he posted a 1.51 eamed·run
average under Coach Wayne
Heck.
After graduating in June
1986, Craig turned down on
appointment to the U.S. Naval
Academy to fu1fU1 a two-year
Mormon mission in Chile. By the
game in which the Hornets were
celebrating the 25th anniversary
of their national championship,
and Coast's 10-9 win over
Riverside on Mike Wade's
52-yard field goal in the waning
seconds.
"We ruined (Fullerton's)
parade in a bad way,• be said.
Craig added that his brother
and OCC wide receiver Derek
Whiddon were "the most
incredible athletes I've ever
seen.• .
Currently living in San Juan,
Puerto ruco, Craig is studying to
follow in his father's footsteps as
an optometrist. He's a third-year
intern and on schedule to
graduate with his doctorate in
optomeby in June 2002, when
• he's planning to move back to
Orange County. His father,
Ronald, has been a local
optometrist for several years.
But for Craig, the latest
honoree in the Daily Pilot Sports
Hall of Fame, life took a recent
detour.
In December, Cralg was
diagnosed with a large kidney
tumor, which, after surgery, was
ma.Ugnant.
"I am a survivor, so far,• Craig
said in an email. •1t was renal
cell carcinoma. I had the whole
kidney removed in a five-hour
procedure down here in Puerto
ruco by an excellent
surgeon/urologist ll4D1ed Jote
Ma.myi, and so far, (six) montbl
post-op, (I) have a clean biD of
health."
Further, Craig and his wife,
Noella, became first-time parents
to a baby boy (James AllenJ on

DAILY PILOT
CORONA DEL MAR-This was a
rally for the Richter scale: a big jolt,
followed by a game-winning after-
shock that capped a seismic seventh
inning Sunday for the Quakes Base-
ball Academy.
The Quakes used home runs by
Hanle Conger (a two-run bomb) and
David Csik, both to straightaway cen-
ter field, to erase a 3-1 deficit and claim
a 4-3 conquest in the final of the New-
port-Mesa Pony Conference Father's

All-Stars, who rode two homers of
their o\vn to a two-run lead beading
into the seventh.
Conger, a former Little League leg-
end from Huntington Beach, sWted the
winning rally. Conger's blast, which
came with a grunt, knotted things at 3-
3 with no outs in the seventh.
The blow, which followed an error,
negated a strong pitching perfor-
mance by Newport Harbor starter

football team, a fluke or for
realf We'll find out in about
two months.
But, judging on their aggressive
recruiting in the offseason and their
focus of building from last year, the
Pirates will not be pretenders.
One of Coach Mike Taylors
greatest recruits is running back
Niles Mittasch from Oregon.
Mittasch, a 6-foot. 195-pound
speedster, earned all-state honors as
a tailback: and a free safety last fall.
He scored 42 touchdowns in 13
games for Churchill High.
Oregon State was set to
otter him a full-ride
schol4rship, but he didn't
score high enough on his
SAT.
Commitments are difficult
to determine in juco football.
but Mlttuc:h said be has ·
enrolled in fall classes at
OCC and he ii anxious to
play for the Pirates. In July,

La.st year's coach, Mark Hill, is still
working as the interim.
Tbe OCC football team is not the
only squad reaping the benefits from
the school's fadlity improvements
and teams' successes. The Pirates'
baseball team is also on the verge of
a great season In 2001-02. Scott
Beerer ls definitely excited, saying
Coast will be a powerhouse next
season.
' The Newport Harbor High
product recently agreed to a
draft-and-follow agreement with the
Texas Rangers after they selected
him in the 23rd round of the Major
League Amateur Draft.
Beerer may not be the only MLB
hopeful on the Pirates next year.
There is a possibility OCC will have
two more drafted players on its
roster next seasoo...Beerer said.
Also, Pirates' Coach Jobri
Altobelli gave seven players the
option to play for another program,
because they wouldn't receive
ample playing Ume with Coast. They
will more than likely take him up o.n
that and could end up in local
schools, possibly in the Orange
Empire Conference.
Wlnnlng will not come easy loT
the Pirates' football team this fall.
Included .in the Sues' schedule in
successive weeks are El Camino. Mt.
San Anfunio and Pasadena City. El
Camino is ranked No. 6 in the state
and Mt. SAC is No. 10.
The Bucs will play al No. 2

Cardinals
may have
a nugget
The chances of Tevita Ofa-
hengaue. Mr. Irrelevant XXVI,
making th~ Arizona Cardinals'
roster for the 2001 NFL season
could be a matter of being at the
.. right place at the right time.
That is how Arizona tight end
coach Pete -Hoener summed up
the situation at tight end for the
Cardinals going into July's train·
ing camp. Tak.mg Ofahengaue
in this year's NFL draft was pur·
poseful for Arizona, even though
it didn't happen until the final
pick.
"The biggest thing going for
Tevita is the opportunity for tight
ends on this team," Hoener said.
"Our new offensive system puts
more emphasis on the tight end
position than before. Going into
the draft, we liked his interisity,
which is critical for that position.
We liked his ability to block and
his ability to get downfield and
make a catch.•
After endtng mini-camp in
May. Ofahengaue and the Car-
dinals' staff came away with
increased opturusm. "I felt good
about the draft,• Ofahengaue
said. "I wish I would hav~
copied the playbook because
the hardest part is learning the
system. This offense is almost
exactly what we ran at BYU, but
Just the teams are different.•
Said Hoen~r. ·He showed
great desire and intensity like
we thought he had. He's intelli·
gent and he picks up things fast.
He has a great attitude and
that's the name of the game, no
matter what level you're play-
ing. Being older and more
mature really helps him and you
can tell he was well-coached at
BYU"
Ofahengaue's main competi·
tion at tight end will come from
mcumbent starter Terry Hardy,•
c..u. who caught 27 passes for Ari·
zona last year Tywan Mitchell, a
converted wide receiver. and
Jay Tant, who 1s coming off a
knee m1ury, will also vie for Car·
dinal roster spots
• 1 was really surpnsed at how
the veteran tight ends helped
me at the num-camp," Ofahen·
gaue said "People told me jt
was every man for himseU when
you're trying to make the NFL,
but these guys were really good.
They want to win, too and do
things to help the team."

about being the final pick in the
