COSTA MESA -An Estancia
High School art teacher filed a law-
suit against the Newport-Mesa Uni-
fied School District this week alleg-
ing that poor air quality at the school
has made her sick.
School district officials have not
yet seen the lawsuit, but they have
been testing the school since com-
plaints came in a year ago, said
Mike Fine, the district's assistant
superintendent of business services.
Before filing the lawsuit, Ou'istine
Goodhue went to the distrlct With com-
plaints about the air in her classroom.
She began the school year in
September but has been out with a
workers' compensation claim most
of the year.
Goodhue could not be reached for
comment. But Llnda Mook, president
of the Newport-Mesa Federation of
Teachers, said the union bas worked
on the issue for more than a year.
"The union has had numerous
concerns about the air quality at
Estancia and asked for testing, which
has been partially completed,• Mook
said. •Additional testing is needed."
The air ducts were cleaned last

and testing has ensued, Fine said.
pleted.
"The union did hire.an indepen-
dent testing firm to monitor and
analyze the results on beball of the
staff there,• Mook said.
But so far, he added, they have
found nothing wrong with the air.
"The basic issue is that she feels
the air quality at that school had
some impact on her,• Fine said.
"We've done some extensive test-
ing, cleaned au ducts, done some
pretesting, post-tesbng. We're not
finding anything unusual.•
But the teachers union is far from
satisfied with what has been com-
A task force of teachers also has
been f.ormed to assess the effect of
fumes in the various buildings and to
gather any complaints, Mook said.
"The other thmg we've request·
ed from the district is that they do
testing throughout distnct schools

producer of the event and original
member of The Chantays and The

Whether it was to meet the pretty
girls, dance with their friends or cele-
brate surf culture, the musicians and
their audiences alike got together
weekly at the local concert balls
back when these bands played regu-
larly.
Striking up as many chords as
memories, the surf bands will play
their hit music, as well as more cur-
rent songs. And some of the older
musicians from the 1960s will show
the youngsters that they can still
rock as hard as they did back then.
Premiere Entertainment, produc-
ers of the concert, hope to make it an

annual event. But some of these
same musicians won't wait for next
year's Endless Summer Jam to
return. They will come back out for
the Rendezvous Ballroom Reunion
show scheduled for October. This
concert is named after the Ren-
dezvous Ballroom, which was the hot
spot for surf music during the 1960s.
Located on the Balboa Peninsula. it
burned down in 1966.
The surf musewn dedicates its

well as help fund the Ultimate Muse-

Gradm1:tion seems to mean more noWadays
I didn't wear a ,cap and gown. And I
didn't have to line up in a\phabeti-
6ll order in the bot sun. But I did
walk in a graduation ceremony this
week, and what amazed me the most
was that it felt like the first time.
The nervousness that your name
won't be called; that somehow you real-
ly didn't pass that last class in biology
or English. Followed by the fear that
they will so mangle the pronunciation
of your name -mine is pronounced
like the Taj Mahal -tha\ you won't.
recognize it.
Compounded by the absolute terror
that on your way up to the podiwn, you
will trip and land either face-first in
front of the teacher you liked the least
or flat on your bqttom, and the class will
point and laugh.
On that last part, I did manage to fall
at my high school scholarship assembly.
Twice (I won two awards). And I can
tell you from personal experience, it is
possible to blush and then tum a deep-
er red. I skinned ~y knee. Stop snicker-
ing.
This was the third time I graduated
from something. No, I don't count ele-
mentary school. In August, I will attend
my 10-year high school reunion. Go
Chula Vista High! Six years ago, I
received my bachelor's from ~oyola
Marymount University. And Tuesday, I
received a very nice certificate from
UCLA's Professional Program in Screen-

writing.
Those last two are the ones that
mattered the most. Don't get me
wrong, graduating from high school
-as many, of our local youth did
Thursday -is an amazing achieve-
ment. And I salute eact;> and every
one of the graduates, whether you got
a 2.9 or a 4.5.
But it's different when school is not
a place you have to be, but a place
that you choose to be. When you're
not doing homework just to get it
done, but actually doing it because
you are learning something new, and
you like it. It's different when you're
paying the bills for your education.
Somehow that makes it more person-
ally valuable.
As it is the season for advice, I want
to pass a little on to the graduating
classes of 2001. Forget about grades. II
you're going on to college, concentrate
on actually learning something in your
classes. If you know the materlal, the
grades will come. Leaming by rote to
get an A will not serve you as well in
life.
Shake up-your life. The1e will never
be a better time to try something new
or make different choices than right
now. Don't be afraid to talk to that per-
son you always wanted to get to know.
The worst they cari do is say no. And
it's probably their loss if they do.
Explore who you are. Do you like
sushi or not? Do you like rap music?
How_ do you know? Have you ever lis-
tened to it? See a play. Read a book
&bout astrophysics. Listen to an opera.
Volunte~r at the Red Cross. Find out
about yourself.
And last, but not least, there is this
from Hal Ackerman, one of my teachers
at UCLA -Don't judge yourself or
your successes in life by the successes
of others. You are not them, and we
each have our own path. Find what
yours is and be true to yourself.
And the next time they call your
name to go up to that podium. check to
see if your shoelaces are tied and make
sure you hem that robe. That way, if
you "break a leg,• you'll know it's a
sign of luck and not a medical emer-
gency.

explanatory brochures.
The laminated, folding
pamphlets include colorful
pictures of sea life -includ-

weed and a black turban
snail.
They also include five tips
to protect the tide pools from
excited children. The
brochures advise children not

turn rocks.
"It's a teaching tool and a
little bit of behavior modifica-

is that they're on a very sensi-

To give curious children a

The pamphlets will be pro-
vided by the Crystal Cove

that she said was a surprise even to
h'erself, Planning Commissioner
Katie Wilson resigned Thursday.
·1 very much enjoyed contribut-•
ing to the city,• said Wilson, a com-
missioner for more than two years
and a Costa Mesa resident for five.
·1 believe I contributed to the
enha11cement and quality of life in
Costa Mesa, and I'll miss being able
to participate that way.•
Wilson had moved to Seal Beach
temporarily because hazardous
mold was growing in her Costa
Mesa borne. While she was there,
Wilson saw a home for sale in the
Surfside Colony that was •a very
good value," she said, so she
bought it.
Planning commissioners are
required to live in the dty, so Wilson
bad to resign when she decided to
make the move.
Wtlson, also the environmental
services manager for the city of Cer-
ritos, said she will miss Costa Mesa.
"I love Costa Mesa and Eiopeful-
ly someday I will be back, but this
was a very good invesbnent oppor-
tunity on the beach, so I took
advantage of it,• she said. ~it was a
tough decision to leave Costa Mesa.
I really enjoyed working with the
Planning Commission and the City
Council. Costa Mesa is such an
edectic community, and I like the
variety. I like that everyone fits in ..
.. You get a real feeling of accep-
tance no matter what type of person
you are.•
Other planning commissioners
said they would miss her.
"She was very, very great to
work• with, Chairwoman Katrina
Foley said. ·1 will definitely miss
her. She had an understanding of
land use, based on her dealings with
her job at the city of Cerritos. She's
very forthright and says' it how it is,
which is good.•

planted when a teacher
gave them a brochure from
the state nutrition program
on school gardens and
seedlings to tend over the
summer.
The couple. whose three
children attend Eastbluff,
began visiting school gardens
up and down the coast and
researching what worked
and what didn't.
While it might not look like
much yet, the meticulously
planned garden, with 700
feet of irrigation, will not only
produce crops but will also
. induce learning.
Each grade level has an
agricultural box in which
they plant, tend and harvest a
seasonal crop.
In the first cyde, pumpkins
were planted in the kinder-
garten bed and Choyote
squash in the first-grade area.
Bruce Garlich, who joined the
commlssion after the City Council
selected commissioners in a new
and messy process in Febn.wy, said
W.tlson has helped him feel comfort-
able as a new commissioner.
"She's been a big help to me, and
I appreciate all the advice,• be said.
•She's not afraid to take a position
and defend it. She's an independent
thinker. She dpes her homework,
thinks things through and, when
she makes a decision, she sticks to
her guns.•
Wilson iS the second planning
commissioner to resign in less than a
year.
Former Commissioner Chris
Fewel, who resigned in December,
said be remembers the bands-on

mission.

· Wilson said she is sure she will be
active in the Seal Beach community,
although she hasn't decided
whether she will apply for another

"I strongly feel that restdent;S

I live, I feel I have a responsibility to

and maintenance of that community

The toughest part of ~g on. the
com.mission was being in situatiOns
where it was impossible to please
everyone, she said. .
"Sometimes, no matter which
way you go. you are going to have a
group of people angry at you,· she
said. "It1s also frustrating when you
see something that needs to be
changed and you can't change il
because laws don't give you the

boisterous and energetic
array of colors set against the
green field of LeBard Stadium at
Orange Coast College in Costa
Mesa as Estancia High School's
class or 2001 graduated.
Silly string, streamers and bal-
loons abounded as more than 200
seniors earned their walking
papers from the Westside high
school Thursday afternoon.
"Oh my God,• said valedictori-

DAILY PILOT
L oud bursts of pride marked the
libeup as the Costa Mesa High
School class of 2001 prepared to
walk to their graduation seats Thursday.
"We're the coolest class," graduate
Michael Tompkins said, drawing excla-
mations from classmates within earshot.
Jamese Reese, another graduate,
agreed.
"I th.ink we're the funniest class,• she
said. "We're the comedians."
"We're the true first class of the mil-
lennium," Brandon Nolte said. Teachers
said a fun personality and a willingness
to work hard defined the class. •
"There is lots of personality, lots of
character,.. said John Camey, head or
the physical education department.
·The kids are very grown up and really
handle themselves well. I think they are
going to go on and be successful. They
are a really fun class, and I think a lot of
teachers are really happy with them."
Bob Shupp, an English teacher who
taught many of the graduates when
they were Juniors, said he expects suc-
cess from the class.
•So many of them did not mind
working and, mote importantly, they
seemed to invest in their school, in their
classes and in each other," he said
"These are some really nice, well-
rounded kids who should do really well
in whatever they choose to do."
Of the 291 Costa Mesa High School
graduates, 56 graduated with honors.
and Camey said many of the graduates
planned to go to four-year colleges all
around the country.
Amber Williams, who is leaving for
military camp in two months, said grad·
uating was scary and bittersweet for
her.
"This is my last goodbye to every-
body," she said.· "Some people are
going to Orange Coast College and will
still see each other, while I'm going to
be getting my butt kicked in North Car-
lina .. 0 .
Many graduates said they were
excited to begin the next phase of their
lives but would miss the friends they
had at the school.
"This is the beginning of my life right
here," said Chad Gordon, a graduate.
"We're the futwe leaders of the world
right here. I grew up with a lot of these
kids, and now I'm ~g them gradu-
ate. I'm sad to see this go, but happy to
see my future come.•
Amanda Swarts said she'll always
remember the class' camaraderie.
•Having time to spend with this
whole class through four years of high
school is what I'll remember most.• she
said. "I'm looking forward to going to
college and starting that chapter of my
life, but I love this class. I lo've them all.
The people in this class are so different.
but we all get along. We're all so
unique, and we all have our own
place."
A full crowd of relatives and friends
was on hand to watch the ceremony.
Wendy Sorce, a Fountain Valley res-
ident. said she was there to support her
niece.
"This just marks an important
moment in her life,• she said. "This will
help her take the next steps in her
future. We love her. and we're proud of
her."

DAILY PILOT ' c 'mon guys, it's the deal of the day -
taking pictures,• said proud Newport
Harbor High mom Cheryl Ball on
Thursday afternoon as she held a camera in
her left hand while motioning her graduating
daughter's friends to pose for a snap with the
other.
·It's just so emotional,· said Ball, choking
up. "I've seen some of these kids grow up,
some I know from the time they were in
preschool. "Today is their reward for four years
of hard work:
Newport Harbor High School's class of 2001
lined up on the school's tennis courts dressed
in dark blue gowns and caps, their tassels
swaying side to side.
It was a bright, breezy, beautiful day they
will remember for the rest of their lives as the
day they graduated from high school.
Best friends Tanya Burak, Nicole Love and
Nicole Matten were showing off their caps,
each bearing two words written in glitter that
made up the phrase "The 3 Peas In A Pod.•
"We've had such a fun time,• Love said.
•And right now I'm nervous and excited and
sad. 11lls is our last day together.•
Matten said she learned some important
lessons in high school.
"I really learned how to deal with other
people and grow up in the real world,• she
said.
The excitement of treading into the
unknown is indescribable, Burak said.
"1U.l now, it was like we had a routine to
stick to,· she said. •From here on, it's like
whatever -we don't really know.•
Love plans to major in psychology at Sono-
ma State University, wblle Matten and Burak
will go to Orange Coast College. But before
they go their separate ways. they plan to have
· a blast by themselves on their three-week
vacation to Cancun and Italy.
Rex Adams and Nick Dubesa will head to
Maui with their families for the summer, where
they are sure to bump into one another.
"I'm glad high school JS finally over,• Dube-
sa said. "I look forward to the future. I know
it'll be tougher than high school, but it's also
going to be a lot more fun.•
Adams said his biggest high school chal-
lenge was •dealing with teachers.•
Now that school's over, he'll concentrate on
other things.
"I'd like to do a lot of traveling in the
future,· he said. "Europe in particular.•
Parent Jamie Deyden, who was waiting to
cheer daughter Heather, said, to her, the day
means her daughter has taken one more step
in life and "she's not a baby anymore.•
"It's a little scary but also exciting,• she
said. "I just want her to be happy, to be able to
wake up every morning and be happy with the
choices she makes.•

Tears and joy
Corona del Mar High School's graduates
remember a lost student as they close out
'the biggest moment' of their lives
Paul Clinton
DAILY PILOT
G raduates of Corona
del Mar High School
remembered their lost
friend in a heartfelt com-
meocemen t ceremony
Thursday.
The event seemed almost
as if it were partly a memo-
ricil service to Brian Camp-
bell, the senior who died in
January of a cerebral hem-
orrhage after he bumped
his head on a curb while
getting out of a car.
Robert Cunard, an assis-
ta nt principal at the school,
presented Campbell's fami-
ly with an honorary diploma
for their lost son and broth-
e r. Campbell's mother,
She lly, a!=cepted it with
tears in her eyes.
The presentation was fol-
lowed by Taumata Grey's
acoustic tribute to Camp-
bell. After strapping on a
guitar, to loud cheers, Grey,
also a graduate, performed
"T to B," a song he wrote in
C ampbell's memory.
"It was touching," said
Josh Ludmir, one., of five
valedictorian scholars. "I'm
glad our class came togeth-
er for Brian Campbell."
Ludmir was joined at the
head of the class by Jen-
n ifer Cummins, Julia Lee,
Karl .Snyder and Lindsey
Yourman. · · ·
Although it had its
somber moments. the t_ere-
mony was not grim.
The nearly 250 outgoing
seniors cheered loudly,
hwling their tasseled hats
toward the sky after they
were declared graduates by
Serene Stokes, a board
member with the Newport-
Mesa Unified School
District.
During one eloquent
speech, senior Erik Knuppel
urged his classmates to fol-
low an ethical path as they
leave for college, the work
force or other pursuits.
"We owe it to ourselves
to be honest people and live
well,· Knuppel said. •we
are captains of our own
futures."
The graduates seemed
acutely aware of the event's
momentousness. Before lin-
ing up in the procession
across the commencement
stage, Jeff Zimmerman said
he has looked forward to
the day. He is headed to
USC to study computer sci-
ence.
"This is the biggest
moment in our lives so far,"
Zimmerman said. "Every-
thing has been leading up
to this."
Campbell's death wasn't
the only thing on the minds
of the teenagers. For many
of them, senior year was a
. whirlwind.
•It went by really fast,•
said Allison Schauppner,
who also is headed to USC.
Gr4duation day "is kind of
like the icing on the cake."

The 2001 Major League

COSTA MESA - "It's
only a game.·
It's an expression said fre-
quently and it's an expres-
sion whose point gets sorely
overlooked.
For the Costa Mesa
National Little Major Di~
sion Diamondbacks, Thurs~
-day's 3-0 loss to the West-
minster Indians in the first
round of the District 62 Tour-
nament of Champions was
put into perspective long
before the game even
began.
The Diamondbacks were
playing without standout
third baseman Allan Kin-
cade, who was seriously
injured after being struck by
a car while crossing an inter-
section.
"He was at the comer of
Bear and Fairview and
crossed on the green light,•
D-backs Manager Bill Red-
ding said. •A car going about
35 mph was trying to beat
the red light and hit Allan.
Fortunately his younger sis-
ter saw the car coming and
stopped just in time.• ·
Kincade suffered two bro-
ken legs and a concussion,
but is expected to make a
full recovery, according to
Redding.
"Today, we didn't have
that extra 'umph' out there,•
Redding said. "I think that
extra 'urnph' was at home
recovering.•
With a major bat out of
the lineup, the Diamond-
backs managed only three
hits against a talented Indi-
ans' squad. ·we just didn't
hit today,• Redding said.
"The Indians played very
well against us, but we just
couldn't get our offense
going."
Indians' starting pitcher
Tyler Humphrey was domi-
nant, pitching three no-hit
CMNLL MAJORS
innings with five strikeouts
and retired all nine hitters he
faced.
During that three-inning
stretch, the Tribe mustered
up enough offense to carry
them the rest of the way.
Johnny Nichols led of the
top of the first with a walk
and advanced to second on a
single by Tyler Humphrey.
With two outs, David Ocam-
po singled up the middle to
score Nichols and give the
Indians a 1-0 lead.
The nibe used a little
two-out magic in the third to
add some insurance. With
Ocampo on first base, Alex
Nana doubled into center,
moving Ocampo to third.
From there, Ryan
Rodriguez found an opening
in right field for a two-run
double, scoring Ocampo and
Nana for a 3-0 Indians'
advantage.
Costa rvtesa finally found
a sale route to first base in
the fourth inning when Ryan
Redding reached on an
infield single. He advanced
to second on a wild pitch,
but back-to-back strikeouts
ended the Diamondbacks'
rally.
ln the fifth, Taylor
McClanahan ripped a two-
out double to right, giving
the Diamondback fans
something to cheer about,
but the Indians coaxed
another strikeout to end the
threat.
#. Finally in the s~, Red-
ding collected his second hit
of the game as the Diamond-
backs tried to mount one
final two-out rally. However,
Indians' relief pitcher Justin
Venus struck out the final
hitter, the Tribe's 10th
punch-out of the game.
Not to be outdone on the
mound, Diamondbacks' relief
pitcher Austin Elliott threw
three scoreless innings with
two strikeouts and retired all
nine batters he faced.
"He's been doing a great
job for us all year long,"
Coach Redding said.
"From what I've heard, the
Frontier is one of the best
scouted . Independent
Leagues in minor league
baseball,' Joe Sr. said. •All of
his games are on the Internet
so we follow him that way.
We're so proud of him.•
After four years of stellar
varsity baseball for the Sailors,
Urban played two seasons for
Santa Ana College before
transferring to Iowa State.
After a slow junior season
and an even slower first-half
of his senior campaign, Urban
exploded at the plate and fin-
ished with a .354 batting aver-
age, 57 hits, 24 runs scored, 15
doubles, two triples, four
, home runs and 29 RBis for the
Cyclo~es, earning second-
team, All-Big 12 recognition.
His hard work is paying off
to the tune of $550 per month,
plus $12.50 per day in meal
moriey for River City, but in
little Joe's mind, he's sWl
playing baseball, which isn't
so bad.
•River City is a great place
to play,• he said. "The people
out here love us. We get
4,000-5,000 people every
night, which is awesome.•
The Frontier League is a
two-division league with
teams scattered throughout
the Midwest.
In addition to Chillicothe,
Urban will play in a league
full of unique nicknames,
such as the Evansville Otters,
the Richmond Roosters, John-
ston Johnnies, the Cook
County Cheetahs and, of
course, the London Were-
wolves, among others.
While at River City,
Urban's day consists of get-
ting out of bed around noon,
heading to the ballpark at. 2
p.m. for batting-cage time
and, after a break, back at the
park at 4 p.m. for batting
practice in preparation for the
1 p.m. contest
In eight games thus far,
Urban is hokting his own, hit-
ting .387 (12 for 31) with four
runs scored, one double, three
RBis and even a stolen base.
"He's off to a fast start,
which was very nice to see,•
said the proud papa. •After
two years of slow starts, it's
nice to see him· hitting early.
He must like the hot weather
or something.•

Tournament of Oiampions • CdM standout has
been training hard
with hopes of winning
the 18s singles title at
Los Caballeros.
Steve Virgen
DAILV PILOT
FOUNTAIN VALLEY -
Bnttany Reitz has many
strengths she utilizes in her
attempts to take command on
the tennis court. Her biggest
strength explains why she
won the CIF Southern Sec-
tion singles btle Nov. t.
And it explams how she
helped Corona del Mar
High win the CIF Division
IV team title, while she over-
came frustrations with CIF
ofhcials and their deos1on to
declare her inel.Jgtble until
Oct. 16, because she bad
transferred too late.
"My biggest strength is
that I'm basically going to
ha.ve to die before I lose,·
Reitz said. "I'm alwdys gomg
to give a 110% to wm."
Reitz will use her strength
when she takes to the court
at the 99th annual Southern
California Jumor Sectional
Tennis Champ1onsh1ps,
which features 65 Newport-
Mesa athletes and runs from
Saturday through JuJy 1 at
the Los Caballeros Racquet
JUNIOR TENNIS
and Sports Club.
Reitz will play in the 18s
singles competition.
• 1 love the game, I love
practicing and I love compet-
ing and just being out there,•
Reitz, a 17-year-old and CdM
senior-to-be, said of her moti-
vation. She also noted she
possesses mental toughness
and great court speed.
She will definitely need
the mental toughness at this
tournament. Aside from the
high-profile players in the
18s, Reitz has to erase
thoughts of what took place
last year in this same tourna-
ment.
After two matches, she
withdrew from competition
because she suffered a tom
left knee ligament. She was
leading, 3-0, over Diane
Mattias, but then Reitz twist-
ed her knee when attacking
an overhead. Reitz played
the match with the injured
knee and withdrew after she
lost to Mattias, who went on
to win the title.
"I'm more excited than
ever for this tournament,•
Reitz said. "There will be a
lot of great players. I'm so
excited to be able to be on
the same court with them, to
be able to be out there and
have fun. I've been training
really hard. I think this is the
tournament where players
look al it as a goal (and say).
•That's where I'm going to
play at my top level.· I think
I'm definitely in place to
have success.•
Success ts no stranger to
Reitz, who was the first
Orange County player to
win an individual CIF sin-
gles title since Dana Hills'
Anne Mall in 1990. She also
became Just the second
player in CdM history to win
a CIF singles title, joining
Kert Pqebus (1988-,&9).
The championship served
as a statement for Reitz, who
thought the feat provided
poetic justice, considering
she was withheld from play-
ing early in the season.
"(Last season) was the
first time I got to play in a
team situation,· Reitz said,
noting that the opportuntty
was a privilege. "I
absolutely loved 1t. The
girls were great and the
coaches were great, too.
And it was all a rewarding
experience for me.•
Reitz received home
school education during
eighth grade, then attended
Mater-Del her freshman year,
but for only 28 days. She then
transferred to St. Margaret's
in San Juan Capistrano.
But Reitz grew tired of the
drive to school and turned
her sights to CdM, where
s he said the administration
was helpful.
Reitz then went on to
enjoy a successful season
with the Sea Kings. One of
her few blemishes came
when she lost to teammate
and junior-to-be Anne
Yelsey for the Pacific Coast
League singles title.
Yelsey will also play in the
Southern California section-
als, entering the tourney hav-
ing placed in the top five in
the past five years, yet with-•
out winning a championship.
Last year, she lost in the
finals of the 16s, to Carson's
Judith Dezera.
"That (loss) encourages
me." Yelsey said. •placing
second is nice, but winning a
tournament is so much bet-
ter.•
She said she's not con-
cerned with facing Reitz
again. Yelsey had to with-
draw from the CIF individ-
ual competition because she
had prior obligations.
"I played (Reitz) just once
and that was in the PCL
finals," Yelsey said. "If we
both got far and had to play
each other, then I'll start
thinking about it. But one
match at a time.•
Also in the tournament
will be CdM's Cameron Ball
and his brother, Carsten.
The Sea Kings' Jill Damion
and Leslie Damion are also
among the locals in the
tourney.
• After a dramatic
rally, they lose in nine.
