Tumlin promised the team be would take them flying, if they won the Newport Harbor Base- ball Assn.'s Bronco Division championship. Seventeen wins later, team members proudly hoisted the hardware, the league trophy that had seemed so out of reach earlier in the season. On Wednesday, Tumlin deliv- ered on his promise.

He will serve a minimum of 13 months in an Oregon penitentiary, Mark Costello, an attorney for the Klammath Falls district attorney's office, said Friday. Earlier in the week, the City Council approved a permit for Lighthouse Coastal Community Church to share its parking lot with Kline School on the condition that the church gives up its right to open a preschool. The church could go along with the new permit or could use an older permit that allows the preschool to open but does not allow Kline School to use the parking lot as a playground. -Jennlhr Kho cown Com Mesa. sn. may be reached It (949) 574-4275 Of by• mall 1t~nlfer./c~tJmacom. THEY NEEDED I POLL TO FIND THIS om It came as no surprise when a telephone poll funded by Newport Beach revealed that about 80% of residents support an airport at the El Toro Marine Corps Air Station. The poll, El TORO which came to light Thursday, was completed earlier in the year by pro-El Toro group Citizens for Jobs and the Economy. Council members weren't shocked by the results, but they also said city residents widely believe an airport will be built at El Toro, which ls far from certain.

NEAR DROWNING HIGHUGHTS HADIDS A 4-year-old Costa Mesa girl nearly drowned Tuesday in a hotel pool as her father reportedly dozed off, officials said. It was the first reported water safety-related incident this summer. COPS & The girl was spot- COURYS ted floating tace- down in the water by a visitor to the Costa Mesa Motor Inn, who pulled her out and gave her CPR. The girl was taken to Hoag Hospital but released the same day. • Her father was arrested on sus- picion of child endangerment, but was released because the Orange County district attorney did not file charges. The district attorney has referred the case to the county social services department. Ten Costa Mesa officials were honored at the city's 38th annual Public Safety Awards at the West- in South Coast Plaza Friday. Costa Mesa Police Sgt. Don Holford was named Officer of the Year and Capt. Curt Yoder was named Fire Department Officer of the Year. -o.p. lhenrth covers cops and courts.

FINDING THE GREEN FOR IPOOL City Council members still have to give their approval on 1Uesday, out it sure looks like the city's two high school pools will stay NEWPORT ~· IEACH sum- mer. Rising energy costs had forced sch.Pol district offi- cials to charge New· port Beach money for using the pools at Newport Harbor High and Corona del Mar High to make up the difference. That prompted a decision by city officials to move the entire summer aquatics program, which includes swimming lessons, swim and water polo teams and lap swimmers, to Newport Harbor High. The decision didn't sit well with folks all over town, ranging from Mayor Gary Adams to parents, who felt closing one of the city's nicest pools during·the summer was unacceptable. Others, such as swim coach Ted Bandaruk, expressed concerns over safety if 1,400 people bad to share one pool each day. As a result, top district and city officlals held a meeting to deal with the issue. Afterward, City Man- ager Homer Bludau announced that he'd ask council members to set aside $33,760 in the 2001-2002 budget to keep both pools heated and open. Swimming lessons will still remain at Newport Harbor High. but lap swimming and water polo teams will be able to stay at Corona del Mar High's facility, helping to lessen the load on the other pool. -MlltHs WWder cown Newport Buch.

SCHOOL'S OUT FOR SUllllER An Estancia High School art teacher Wed a lawsuit last week against the Newport-Mesa Unified EDUCATION School District. Christine Goodhue alleges in her suit that the poor air quality at the school and in her classroom has made her severely ill. District officials said they are in the process of testing the air and have cleaned air ducts extensively since complaints were first made a year ago. They have found nothing out of the ordinary, said Mike Pine, the assistant superintendent pf busi- ness services. Teachers and district staff will have more time to hash the matter out because school's out for summer. In case you didn't realize it, Thursdly and Friday were stu- dents' last days of school until September. Students in grades seven through 12 called it quits in Thurs· day, with seniors graduating. On Prtday, the younger set were released to frolic carefree for three months. -DMette Goul9t covers education. She rnlY bt rMChed ft (949) 574-4221 QI' by.. • m1ll 1t dlnette.gouletttlltlmes.com.

"In our discussions with community leaders and appointed offi~ and during our outreach efforts, we heard loudly and clearly a desire for more home ownership,• · Segerstrom spokesman Paul Freeman said Friday.

The .community spoke, we listened.• The plans for the site -a lima bean farm bordered by the San Diego ~reeway, Fairview Road,.Harbor Boulevard and Sunflower Avenue-have not been finalized, and Freeman said no decision has been made about the exact number of homes that will be proposed. But Freeman said the two conceptual plans presented to the Planning Commission on Monday bad densities averag- ing no more than 12homesper acre, which is consistent with the general plan for the prop- erty.

Freeman said the mix of townhomes and single-family houses makes a lot of sense. "The single-family homes are going to be consistent with the new standards and town- homes, while they are not what you would call affordable, would be affordable for many people, including city employ- ees," he said. "They will help address the jobs and housing balance and will be a lot more attractive than apartments." The changes on the horizon will not require the company to conduct a new environmen- tal impact study, however, because the project will remain within the maximums that were studied, he said. The .environmental impact report that was completed stud- ied a project with a 308,000- square.foot Ikea furniture store, 791,050 square feet of office space, 252,648 square feet of industrial business and 464 apartments. Planning Commission OWrwoman Katiina Foley said that residents have been con- cerned about density and that the changes are addressing that concern. Mayor Libby Cowan said she thinks the proposal will help address the balance between jobs and housing in Costa Mesa. ·1 think what they are proposing is a quality housing product of both single-family homes and townhomes that will address some of my concerns about affordability,• she said. "While there are still concerns about the job and housing bal- ance, (the problem) can't be all on the Segerstrom's shoulders. I certainly supported the high- er density, but we can't expect it to be all up to them.• Councilman Ollis Steel said he would be in favor of Home Ranch residences consisting of all single-family houses. "I want the lots to be as big as possible and as nice and high-class or upsc.ale as possi- ble,· he said. • Afta~an. this is the Segerstroms and we expect the best. Still. I feel there should be a sports park-maybe an ice skating rink and a skateboard park -in the project. maybe near the Ikea.

EDITORIALS Unheated pool not that big of a deal S umrner's here, and everyone wants to swim. That's a given come June. Usually, it's also a given that the outdoor pools at Corona de l Mar and Newport Harbor high schools are heated for the vari- ous people who use them. Th.is year, it became appar- ent that there could be a snag. With California in the midst of an e nergy crisis, and energy prices on the rise, Newport Beech officials decided they would only heat one of the dis- trict's two pools. And Corona del Mar ended up on the cold side of the decision. An obvious result followed as those affected expressed disap- pointment and outrage over that proposal. And with the cries getting louder, city leaders changed their minds and made an agreement with the New- port-Mesa Unified School. Dis- trict to keep Corona del Mar's pool open and heated. But so what? What if city offi- cials didn't cave in and pay the $33,760 to heat the pool for eight weeks, thus leaving the water a little chilly for a couple of months. A bit of a chill doesn't stop residents from diving into the Pacific Ocean. And temperatures of that large body of water hovers in the low 70s during the summer. The sun can do a much better job of heating man-m ade pools. So, if unheated, it is hard to imagine the Corona del M ar pool freezing its users. Given these factors, the city should have saved money and should have conserved much- needed energy by keeping the pool unheated. It would have been the right thing to do, even if it wasn't the easy one. Sometimes, people have ta tough it out. Sacrifices - however small -sometimes must and should be made. And during a summer when consistent flows of e nergy can mean life or death for the sick who are confined to their homes, meeting the bottom line for small businesses or just the lights being on at home, this was one of those times. Congratulations are very much in order T he pictures told the story. There were tears. There were smiles. There was exaltation. There was relief. Across Newport-Mesa on Thursday, our high school seniors took the first of many big steps in their lives as they moved their tassels and graduat- ed. Each one deserves all the congratulations possi- ble, whether they slugged it out for four years or sailed on through . They deserve a little time to relax, too, if only because graduating high school is far from the e nding lt rnay feel llke now. Yes, here it comes: Grabbing that diploma is only the beginning.

BOLTON ''COO!<. ISi-AN&>" Amazing teacher -deserves his honor How lucky and blessed I was to get the opportunity to work alongside Buzz Amble at College Park Elementary School (·He was all the Buzz,• Tuesday). It was one of the best learning experiences that a new teacher could have hoped for. While somewhat unorthodox in his teaching, Buzz always made learning fun. He brought in firsthand experiences, oral his- tories, storytelling and, most of all, humor to capture students' attention and imagination. I saw him tum shy students into blos- soming speakers, apathetic chil- dren into empowered learners, straight-laced and serious stu- dents into hm (and funny) acade- mic explorers, tum doodlers into artists, couch potatoes into ath- letes, and tum an insecure new aide into a fun and confident teacher. As covered in the Daily Pilot, Amble's Colleg e Park colleagues honored him by throwing him an •Aloha• party, which was attended by scores of students from the past and present who offered up story after story about how Buzz bad influenced their lives. Thanks, Buzz, for all the years you dedicated to thousands of children and ror helping them each to grow personally, morally and academically. And thanks for being a role model and mentor to teachers as well. USA LAWRENCE Cotta Mesa MAILBAG about too little parking as it is. Your further suggestion about encouraging kaffee klatches so people can talk together is an outrage to those of us who go to the library to read and to study and to learn -it is the last refuge for the general public who just wants to be left with the peace and quiet the libraries afford to us. If the libraries think we need another place to meet and talk, a tree with some shade and a bench under it would help. Surely, to have the libraries competing with what has always been a private institution is car- rying this so-called public-pri- vate partnership too far. By the way, I own no Star- bucks or Dled.rich's stock, but I imagine those who do would be even more displeased at the unfair competition.

Busy as can be over the last week with shindigs and other hoopla, Of ahengaue became even busier Thursday at the Balboa Yacht Club when he sat down with Qaily Pilot Assistant City Editor James Meier to discuss his week- long gig as Mr. Irrelevant. How do you pronounce your last namef Oh-fah-hay-gnaw-way. Like pingpong. Gnaw. Why do they call you T-bonef Just a name they called me when I was little an.d I carried it ever since. Everywhere I we nt, my friends would end up calling me T-bone and everyone would pick it up. Can I call you T-bone1 Sure. Is It easter than calling you Tevtta1 Well, there was a movie called "Colors" back in the day. T-bone was a comedian in the movie, a joker. And I have fun, so they kind of teased with that and it stuck with me. And bey, T-bone sounds good. Now, toward the end of the NFL draft. you hadn't been picked for quite some Ume. You were actually picked 246tb. It may sound weird, but were you aosslng your Dngen lo be picked last .o you could become Mr. Irrelevantf No. Actually, before the end of the draft, I alreody committed to a team as a free agent. So I knew I was going to go somewhere. I was grate- ful for the opportunity that I had, and I bad a couple other teams call me and tell me they were going to take , me in the fourth, third and they nev- er took me. So, when the C8.rdinals called me, I wanted to make sure that it was me, and when I saw [Irrel- evant Week founder! Paul Salata look down at my name, look up and then look down again, I knew it was my name because he couldn't say 1t. And I'm here now. Are you sick of all of the atten- tion? No. I'm loving it. Then I go back to reality on Saturday. Wbitt's the Hrst day of reality going to bef Back to working out. I haven't worked out smce I've been here, and now I've got to work. Playing for the Cardinals is my job, and I have to take it seriously now. So, I'll just have fun now and pay for it later. What's been your favorite moment so (arf Just everythmg. It just keeps get- ting better and better. Especially for them "to take care of my (45 family membersj is really sweet. For them to be here to enjoy it with me, it makes it more memorable. Every- thing from the first minute I got off the plane. My wife and I were just discussing it on Sunday, and we hadn't even started yet. We were like "Dang, imagine how bad it's going to get.· Today's still young. We've already gone to a lunch with American nue, and now we're at the yacht club. And there's more to come. You seem to have a good sense of humor through all of this. Are you having a ballt It's fun. Our dinner the other day was great with a couple guys [including former L.A.

Whal are some of the best gifts you've received so farf Everything was sweet: jerseys with my name on them from every team; a watch from the NFL commis- sioner. Everything they've given me is nice. There's not really one special gift. I got the Lowsman lrophy. Llke they said, there's a lot of He1sman trophies, but there's only 27 of those. It's been tun. The biggest gift of all is them catering my family as much as they've done. There's about 45 of them, I think. There's about 10 others who come and go.

There's still more to come and. sadly, it's going to come to a close, but all good things come to an end. I know it's interesting, so tell me a little about your background. I was born in Tonga. I moved to Hawaii when I was t 1/2, almost 2 years old. I was a cry baby. My mom told me she carried me until I was 6. I got married when I was in high school. I had my first two kids and then my second two were in the mid- dle of my college years. When I got married, I had to find a job, so I went to school in the morning, went to work in the after- noon and then to practice. I was working everywhere. I sold vacuums. I moved my family to Dallas and worked for American Airlines as a baggage handler. Then, one day, my parents talked me into coming home [to Hawall) and finishing the circle of education. All my [five) brothers and sisters graduated, so I'm the last one, the youngest. And I finally dedded •Hey, let's do it. I called my work, told them 1 wasn't coming back. and then new home, went to school and walked on to BYU in the winter of 1997.

Greg Stanley and Nick DePietro each had two-run singJes, while Mike Gillmore and Blake Rowerdink each added key RBI bits. But the Mets refused to close up shop early and jumped right back into the fray with four runs of their own in the first inning. Mike Sandberg's two-run sin- gle highlighted the four-run frame. After the hour·long first inning, both teams contin- ued their offensive display in the second. With two outs and nobody on base, the Marlins put together four bits and a walk to score four more runs. Cory Ames, Johnny Person, Juan Moreno and Stan- ley each scored to give the Marlins a 10-4 lead. But back came the Mets, once again. Jetty Lewis, Mike Kimura and Chris Kane each reached base and scored on hits by Chris Martinez, Neil Mita and nevor Calhoon, trim.ming the Martins' lead in half. Sandberg came in to pitch for the Mets and used an array of off-speed pitches to shut down the pow- erful Marlins' offense. He allowed four bits in the final four innings, but did not walk anyone and allowed no runs.

From there, the Mets con- tinued to peck away at the Marlins' lead. scoring a run in the third and two in the fourth to tie the game. Daniel Castle walked to lead off the third, advanced to second on a passed ball, went to third on a grounder by Mo Al.asker and scored on a field- er's choice by Chris Van Vuuren. The two-run fourth inning came courtesy of a double steal by the Mets and two costly throwing e.rrors by the Marlins, allowing both run- ners to score. While the Mets found home plate in the middle innings, the Marlins were stranding runners left and right. In the third, Rowerdink and Kyle Lux were in scoring position with two outs, but the big hit could not be delivered. The same situation occurred in the fourth. With two outs, Person and Juan Moreno singled. After an error moved the runners up to second and third, Sandberg managed to strike out the Marlins' cleanup hitter to end the threat. In the fifth inning, the Mets finally grabbed hold of the lead and refused to let it go. Van Vuuren's two-run double down the left-field line broke the 10-10 tie. 'IWo batters later, with the bases loaded, Lewis walked to bring in an insurance run. The Marlins' last threat came in the sixth inning when Rowerdin.k singled up the middle with one out, but was left on second base after back-to-back groundouts. Strong defense was turned at third base by Lux and Evan Kipnis, who each snagged hard line drives for outs. Person had three hits and two runs for the Marlins, while Ames, Stanley and Rowerdink added two bits apiece. Stanley, Moreno and Ames each scored two runs. "Our guys battled out there, but we simply ran out of gas,• John Gillmore said. •1t was a beck of a run and we gave it everything we could.• For the Mets, Calhoon , Castle, Kimura and Chris Kane each scored twice, while Van Vuuren had three RBis. The Marlins held the Mets to only eight bits, but the Mets took advantage of eight walks and two hit batsmen en route to their comeback victory. On the flip side, the Mar- lins banged out 14 hits, but the Mets' pitching combina- tion of Sandberg and Kyle Ball only walked one batter, while strilqng out five to limit the damage.

I liked Northridge, the coachino staff and playing in the Big West Conference.•· Last year, Larson trans- ferred from Golden West Col- lege to Cypress College and it wasn't what he had hoped for. •1 didn't get to throw nearly as much as I thought I was going to,• Larson said. "I threw maybe 25 or 26 in.Dings all sea- son long. I threw well when I did get to throw and I don't know why I wasn't used more." The lanky right-hander said he topped 94 mph on the radar gun and is consistently in the 90-92 area, which is enticing to professional scouts. After bis freshman year at Golden West, Larson was drafted in the 26th round by the San Francisco Giants, but didn't sign. He wasn't drafted after this past season due to a lack of playing exposure. He was a 28th-round draft pick of the Baltimore Orioles out 6f high school In addition to bis fastball. Larson also possesses a cbangeup and curveball. •rve been told I have a 0 -I caliber c:hangeup, but I'm still work- ing on getting my curveball over for strikes more conSis- tently, • Larson said. •My fd.st-1 ball is mainly a four-seam, but I can throw a two-seamer for • better movement, too.• . Larson's sophomore C4Dl·, paign was disappointing, ' especiAlly after a strong season with Golden West in 2000. As a Rustler, Larson was 4-5 with a 1.63 ERA and was a sec- ond-team. All-Orange Empire Conference selection. He was a workhorse for .the Rustleni, throwing 12 innings with a team-leading 56 strikeouts. At CdM, Larson was a pitch- ing and hitting machine. As a senior, be was 6-5 with a 4.61 ERA with 68 strikeouts in 71 , innings. He a1so hit .353 with nine home runs and 41 RBis in three varsity seasons, helping the Sea Kings win the 1999 CIP Southern Section Division rv crown bis senior year. · • #To be honest, I didn't expect to get drafted 1his year,• • Larson said. "Every time the Giants came out, I wasn't pitching and they hold the cards right now. When I worked out with Northridge, they came out and they liked what they saw, so I think they're still interested in me.· Duesler captures two titles HUNTINGTON BEACH- Newport Beach TENNIS resident Bob Duesler completed yet anoth- er double Saturday, winning the 65s singles and doubles titles at the men's United States Tennis Association National Hardcourt Champi- onships at Undborg Racquet Qij.b.
