Several group lessons were being conducted simultaneously in the enormous pool. At one end of the water, children as young as 4 years used paddleboards and noodles as they learned the basic crawl and backstroke. These children were beginners in level two. Next to them, the level three swim- mers learned the crawl stroke with breathing and kicking -something pretty complicated when you're first learning.

But even sinkers can learn to swim. POUCI flW , . Daily Pilot Remembering tough times in Carson City For a long time, I avoid- ed Carson City. My travails with that community took place in 1938, when I was a deputy district attorney. Orange County had a warrant out for a guy who surfaced in Carson City, and we sent Deputy Sheriff Steve Duhart to bring him home. Steve called me from Car- son City and said problems had arisen. Would I come? I hopped the train, Steve met me in Reno, aQd on the bus trip back to Carson City he told me the situation. The governor was willing to give us our warrant of extradition, and the sheriff was willing to turn the prisoner over to us. So what's the problem, I wondered. It seemed the prisoner was well-connected. The local judge was his uncle, one brother-in-law was the ,... district attorney and the oth- er brother-in-law was the chief of police. They made it clear that as soon as we got the warrant, the D.A. broth- er-in-law would have the uncle judge issue a warrant of habeas corpus -which the brother-in-law chief of police would serve on us - and we would lose our pris- oner. Hometown justice. What to do? We couldn't take our p~oner east. That was the WtMig direction. If we went north to Reno. they ~,uld call ahead ~d have us stopped; the same if we went south to Bridgeport. That left a westward route, up a long, winding road to Tahoe. Unfortunately, we woke up in the morning to discov- er it had snowed 3 inches in Carson City and was snow- ing in the mountains. Thoughts of the Donner Par- ty flitted into my mind, but I dismissed them. Skinny as I was, I wasn't much of a choice for cannibals. Steve and I hired a taxi to meet us at the back door of the hotel. We got our war- rant, ran across the street to the jail in the basement of the courthouse and grabbed our prisoner. Meanwhile, at the same time, the brothers- MARINA CONTINUED FROM 1 wants to renovate its current building and extend its lease, informed her that it didn't have much to add to its previous pro- posal, she said.

We dashed down the main street. dragging our prisoner by a lead chain, ran through the lobby of the hotel and piled into the cab just as the D.A. and police chief appeared at the front door, waving the writ. The taxi driver was terri- fied. Those were the days of notorious 1930s criminal John Dillinger, and he was sure he was mixed up in a kidnapping. To motivate him, Steve, a very tough- looking guy, did his best impression of Jimmy Cagney, and we took off in a splatter of snow and slush toward Reno. After a couple miles, we pulleg.ott.Ui.e rpad and hid behind a building just as a police car screamed by in hot pursuit. I got out and slogged back to Carson City. I must have looked pretty silly trudging through the sage- brush and snow in my blue suit, black dress shoes and gray fedora. I sneaked down back streets and finally came to a guy tinkering with his car. I told him I'd pay him $20 if he would take my friends I'm not worried, and me to Tahoe. He didn't even look up. "Snowing.• he said. "Twenty bucks is 20 bucks,• I replied. He thought a moment, nodded, and we got into his car and took a circuitous route back to the taxi. We moved our prisoner into the new vehicle while Steve, once more in his Cagney mode, told the taxi driver that if wanted to live, he bet- ter not move an inch after we left. We started up the road to lilboe, and as we did, the taxi took off for Car- son City. So much for Jimmy Cagney. Soon a police car was after us, i.iren wailing. We did our best, but since we were breaking trail, the police car kept gaining. They were within a few feet of us, and it looked like we'd lose our prisoner when we slipped, slid and skidded across the state line and out of their jurisdiction. The driver breathed a big sigh of relief. I asked him why, and for the lirst time he told us that he was deputy sheriff in Carson City and would have been in a ton of trouble if they caught him. Anyway, I had one judge, one district attorney and one chief of police who were not very happy with me, so I made a wide orcle around Carson City. End of story, except for one item. The county of Orange still owes me 20 bucks. I·put in my expense sheet for the $20 and that tightfisted cotmty auditor, Les Echols, would only pay the bus fare -50 cents from Carson City to Reno. • llOllERT GARONER is a COl'ona del Mar resident and a former judge.

But I think that possibility might occur in the future. For that reason, we should stop the reviews now. If a teacher can earn a $10,000 bonus by raising his students' scores by 5%, won't the tempta- tion to "help out" the students lead to unreliable test data? Or, if a principal keeps her job based upon the school's Stanford 9 results, won't the pressure increase lo ma ke sure the stu- dents have knowledge of all test questions?

Could there be a more Amencan experience for you to enjoy with your family? ln addition, Costa Mesa began a city concert in the park series this summer. It was a great way to expose kids to four types of music in four parks My favorite was the Tuesday with our local Irish band, The Feniens. In addition to the band's regu- lar fans performing hand motions and sing-alongs with the band, there was an emu wearing a bat. The drummer wore a kilt and had the crowd in tears with bis rendition of •Danny Boy." The kids spent hours jumping up and down to the beat and playing •London Bridge ls Falling Down." So, get your kids away from the TV, the video games, the computer and virtual reality. rue them outside to experience the reality of a summer concert. • I commend the Newport Beach City Council on its decision to try to extend the set- tlement agree- ment for John Wayne Air- port's opera- tion. Although such an attempt is Craught with pitfalls, it is imperative that the council Oorence liumer deal with this problem. Threat of the airport's expansion poses a far greater effect on this city's quality of life than any other issue, bar none. The council must remember the agreement is a court-sanctioned pact, and extending it would require confirmation from the court and the parties involved. As that process"UJllolds, many believe the airline industry will weigh In and ask the court to increase flights. That a ction is very probable, because the environ- mental study that could make way for the expansion contemplated a 10.2-million passenger capacity per year. The current limit of 8.4-mtllion passengers per year was achieved through negotiations. · The in-depth study, called an environmental impact report or EIR, has essentially been certified. Thus, it will be an easy compro- mise for the court, Orange County, Federal Aviation Administration and others to back a compromise to increase capacity to the EIR standard before agreeing to anoth- er extension -if they agree to extend it at all.

We must let our new supenn- tendent replace bis sldf.f dS he sees fit ("Newport-MeSci's princi- pal problem concerns parents,· Aug. 10). We took a long time to find Supt.

Yes. John Wayne is partially funded by the federal government, which has a tremendous influence on the airport operdtion. But keep in mmd the federal government does not control land-use restnc- tion surrounding the facility. Instead, land-use decisions belong to local jurisdictions: the county; the cities of Costa Mesa, lTVlDe and Newport Beach; and, one could argue, the cibes of Santa Ana and Tustin. Council should consider working with those junsdictions to control airport growth. I suggest a contract be crafted among the county and the afore- mentioned cities to change their general plans for land around the airport. The new pact should require the parties to abide by the revised restrictions, to ensure con- trol over the airport and its growth. The result might not be a panacea for all partles, but it could be much better than simply extending the settlement agree- ment. And it could be an espeoal-Thus the Newport Beach City navigate.

Just the avatlability of ESPN sports cable- TV channel in the room would have made the expenence less bonng. With our current system, there JS also no way to prechct how long a trial may last. wtule th.is may be OK for those who continue to earn a sa.laiy m their absence from work, it creates a great finanaal hardship for those who must labor dally to make a 1JV10g. Even the recently raised com- pensation of $25 per day for the jurors is ri<hculously low, given that my handyman charges me more than $35 per hour just to do minor home repairs.

I just received my jury sum- mons two weeks ago, telling me to call a certain number to find out the specifics.

The Dunes hotel would sit on public tidelands in Newport Beach, to my mind making us all owners of the land. But even il Badham hdd been accurate and the Dunes was to be built on private land, lus state- ment has some troubling tmplica- bons. Taken at face value, it would imply that none of us have the right to object to any develop- ment in our city. lf past City Councils had sub- scnbed to that philosophy, we would have a freeway through town, waterfront homes with docks on the Back Bay and high rises all around Newport Bay. I certainly hope we will soon add the Dunes hotel to the list of ill-conceived developments stopped by concerned residents of our city.

SEEKING THE STATUS QUO •Newport Harbor, the only unbeaten team in Orange County last year, opens 2000 with plenty of company: Barry Faulkner DAILY PILOT NEWPORT BEACH -Prepa- ration, condition- ing and team bonding all began anew Monday as high school football pro- grams across Orange County opene d fall practice. So, too, emerged the annual renewal of optimism that helps players and coaches endur~ the long hours and hard work that precedes the euphoric glow !Jf Friday night lights. "We're all still undefeated right now," said Newport Harbor High Coach Jeff Brinkley, for whom, unlike his county brethren. the feeling is hardly novel. Brinkley's Sailors, in fact, were the only county team to escape the 1999 season without a loss. The Tars went 13-0-1 en route to Sea View League and CIF South- ern Section Division VI titles, winning their last 12 games after a Week 2 tie against Marina. "It's always good to be back," added Brinkley, entering his 15th season at Harbor. "I think every- one is exctled. • Among\ the 90 Sailor players who appeared for the first day of the three-day conditioning peri- od, were gifted senior returners Chris Mandarino, a quarterba.ck- outside linebacker who was the Dally Pilot Sea View League MVP, as well as middle line- backer Alan Saenz, the 1999 Newport-Mesa District Defensive Player of the Year.

Senior linemen Scott Lopez (6- foot-2, 270 pounds) and Ian Bani- gan (6-2, 225), both starters on offense for Division I playoff entry Santa Margarita last fall, could help fill some of the void left by the gTaduation of last year's all- senior front wall. Yet another potential contribu- tor up front is junior Scott Kohan, who transferred in 4om a prep school in Pottstown, Pa., where the 6-2, 270-pounder reportedly started at offensive tackle as a sophomore. Personnel aside, there is noth- ing much new at Harbor, where tradition, repetition and hard work have become staples for one of the county's most success- ful programs. The Tars' scripted routine begins each day with rondition- ing from 8-9:45 a.m. After a one- hour break, they have a 30- minute defensive meetings, then defensive practice from 11:1S.1 p.m. After a one-hour lunch, it's special teams meetings (2-2:20), a special teams practice {2:20-3:15), a break till 4, offensive meetings (4-4:30) and offensive practice (4:30-6:15). The players then often round out their full day with welgbWtting. .
