W hen she was 23 and with no previous experience, she
jumped on a sailboat and sailed for three weeks from
Fiji to New Zealand with f)iends.
1\venty years later, Diane Dewitte is a beginning sailing instructor at
The School of Sailing & Seamanship at Orange Coast College.
Her lesson No. 1: do as I say, not as I did.
Dewitte said those who are interested in learning to sail must be fully
prepared before they go out on the water. Humans were not designed to
be in the ocean -they have legs, not fins, she said. And a lot of people
who want to sail are just too anxious.

fine debate
•Costa Mesa officials are
expecting to dispute the
future of the city's job
center when dealing with
a dayworker law tonight.

DAILY PILOT
COSTA MESA -City officia!s will
decide torught whether to change the
language of a law concerning day
workers in an effort to make it imper-
vious to legal challenge.
After following a court case in Los
Angeles County where the daywork-
ers' ordinance was challenged in
court, the Costa Mesa City Attorney's
Office reexamined the language in its
existing ordinance. A Los Angeles
court judge ruled that parts of Los
Angeles' ordinance were too vague
and encroached upon an individual's
freedom of speech.
Assistant City Atty. Tom Wood said
if the recom-
mended changes

are made to the
ordinance, he is
confident it
would stand up
to any First
Amendment
challenge.
"I think it was
very proactive of
them to follow
the Los Angeles
case and work to
keep ahead of
any challenge,•
said Councilman
Gary Monahan.
Wood said the
-Councilman language nar-
Gary ~ rows down the
kind of solicita-
tion that is pro-
hibited to cover only the kind that
causes traffic or safety problems. He
cited examples like shouting, waving
of arms, rushing into the street and -
in the extreme case -opening some-
one's car door. Safety issues sunound-
ing dayworker solicitation have not
been a problem recently, he said.
•we've got the job center, which
makes for a safe place to seek and
offer work.• Wood said.
Although the amendments to the
ordinance aren't expected to be con-
troversial. the underlying issues ol
supplying jobs to those suspected to
be illegal immiJJlallts are sure to sw-
face, city officials said.
Monahan said the job center
debate will most likely be rekindled
Discussions surrounding the valuie

A t high tide on the morning of
Nov. 15, 1945, the USS Hale
(00642) entered Newport ~r. She was and still is the
~.:1 vessel ever to enter the bar-
• When the Pacific fleet returned to
the West Coast at the end of World
War D, all of the ship repair facilities
·at San Pedro and Long Beach were
inundated with work. South Coast
Shipyard bad open time. Thus, Hale
was ta.ken to Newport Harbor for
repairs that did not require dry dock-
~ the ship. A six-week availability
was scheduled.
Hale, a 2.100-ton Fletcher Class
destroyer, was 316 feet, 6 inches
long, with a beam of 39 feet, 7 inches
and a draft of 13 feet when fully
loeded. Her ammunition bad been
removed at the Seal Beach Naval
A91munition depot.
The fuel-water ballast tanks prob-
ably had been emptied, so the draft
as she entered the harbor may have
~ 12 feet, 9 inches. The depth at
mean low tide in the main .ship chan-
nel was then 20 feet. The high tide
on that morning was 5.1 feet, so the
average depth under the keep was
about 12 feet. 3 inches if Hale stayed
in the main ship channel. 1\velve
feet of water under the keep does
not allow for much margin of error,
not to mention the fact that a lhlp
does not respond well to rudder
movements when operating In shal-
low water.
Robert L Boyd, a local yachtsman

a.ast Shipyard, boarded Hale at the

World War II destroyer
was the biggest vessel
ever to navigate into
Newport Beach
placed at the edge of the main ship
channel where the Balboa Bay Club
is now lcx;ated. She was moored
#starboard side to" these pilings or
dolphins.
The Hale was built by the Bath
Iron Works at Bath, Maine, in 1943.
She was commissioned at Boston on
June 15, 1943 and immediately
began a very actiVe wartime career.
She arrived at Pearl Harbor in
October 1943. Hale took part in sev-
eral invasions in the Pad.fie. She was
assigued escort duty with the battle-
ship/cruiser &bore bombardment task
forces operating off Japan.
Hale wu awarded seven battle
stars for the Padfic campaigns and
two battle stars for the Philippine lib-
eration campaign.
Hale was a "lucky ship" du.tjng
two years of hostile action again.st
the enemy -she was never bit.
During Hale's visit at Newport
Harbor, various civic groups were
given tours. On Jan. 10, 1946, 37
grammar school students were given
a complete tour of the ship by Lt.
Henry Lapld.n, the communi~tions
officer, as a reward for selling war
bonds.
At that time, Balboa was the cen-
ter of rec:re4tional activities. At the
Pavilion. you could bowl, the Ren-
dezvous Ballroom was open on
weekends and there was Christians
Hut for fine dining. Whites Cafe,
Guss's S}lell Cafe and the Fun Zone
were all in full operation.
Then there was the "Bamboo
Room," a cocktail lounge with a
dance floor and a live band. A floor
show was put on nightly by a couple,
Holly and Lee. To get to the "Bamboo Room.· you went down a Dairow
hallway from Main Street to the
lounge, which was located behind the
businesses that fronteQ Main Street
Balboa had been invaded during
the war by U.S A.rq:),y Air Corps
cadets from the'San[A Ana A1r Base.
In all due respect tor their brown
uniforms, it was most refreshing in
1945 to see •sailor suits• around Bal-
boa. The salty, war-decorated crew
from the Hale took over the Bamboo
Room. If a brown uniform came in.
its owner was ushered out the rear
door.
Hale left Newport Harbor on a
high tide without incident She pro-
ceedt!d to San Diego, where the ship
was deactivated and put into the
reserve fleet.
At the outbreak of the Korean
War, the Hale was once again called
"to the colots." Completely modern-
ized and refurnished, she was com-
missioned on March 24, 1951, and
assigned to a new home port: New-
port, R.I.
Hale operated in the Atlantic and
Mediterranean. She made two
around the world goodwill and
peacekeeping cruises.
After a very active life of 18 yean,
Hale was decommisstoned on Jan.
23, 1961, and given to the
Columbian Navy. Pin.ally, in 1913
due to the rising cost of operation.
she was decommissioned at Cartage-
na. Columbia and eventually
scrapped.

I have received numerous
phone calls and a copy of a
letter from Newport Beach
Mayor Gary Adams
addressed to our U.S. repre-
sentatives in opposition to a
new bW, HR 1730, which is
being introduced and relates
to boats' marine sanitation
devices aboard vessels and
discharge of the devices in
harbon.
Our harbor, as well as oth-
er harbors, is classified as
"no discharge zones," which
means you cannot discharge
waste (sewage) into the har-
bor or the ocean waters with-
in three nautical miles of any
coastline (mainland OT
island): The federal Clean
Water Act is the piece of leg-
islation that helps enforce no
discharge. HR 1730 would
authorize dumping the hold-
ing tanks from certain
marine sanitation devices (as
basic as an MSD Type 1) into
the harbor. 1b1s poorly writ-
ten bill by someone who
appears to know nothing
about boats' holding tanks or
harbor water quality states
that by simply treating the
fecal coliform bacteria in the
tank.I to a certain level
makes it acceptable to intro-
duce into our harbor.
What Rep. Jb:n Saxton (R-
N.J .) bas forgot is that all the
other pathogens, paruites
and viru.les that are con-
tained in the tank will be
introc:tuced into the harbor's
water. Considering some of

before you run," Dewitte said.
The School of Sailing & Seaman-
ship has a great program for that and
will have folks jogging in no time,
she said.
Beginners start their courses on
14-foot Udo dinghies. On those, they
learn sailing fundamentals like ter-
minology, rigging, safety, docking
.under sail, tad:ing and jibing. In
addition, students will learn in a
hands-on environment, as 80% of
instruction is done on the water in
Newport Harbor.
One class can have 12 to 33 stu-
dents and two to four students share
a boat. The class is five weeks and
costs $99, not including textbooks.
Classes are open.to people ages 14
and older. Classes for children ages 9
to 13 are offered in the early summer
but are over now.

forward to sailing everyday after
work.
"It's a great way to wind down,"
he said
Marc Robson's ultimate goal is to
take a month off work and sail
around the Virgin Islands. The
beginning sailing class is a stepping
stone, he said.
"My husband's the adventurous
half," Andrea said. "My goal is not to
hit anything."
Regardless of how exotic the rea-
son for starting sailing, Dewitte said
The School of Sailing & Seamanship
can prepare would-be sailors. After
learning the basics on the 14-foot
Udo, participants graduate up to JO.
foot Shields.
"Those who can handlfJ a 30-foot
boat without an engine are truly
sailors,• Dewitte said.
Once the tecbniques are mas-
tered, students can start taking their
boats offshore to the Catalina or
Channel Islands, she SJlid. That is
when the real fun starts.
"Sailing alk!ws people to have
true adventures because you never
know what is going to happen next.
You are surrounded by something
much larger and more powerful than
yourself,• Dewitte said.
When a person is out on the
water, they must also be aware of the
cycles of the sun and the moon.
something that urbanized people
have forgotten, she said. It brings a
person back to nature's most power-
ful and driving forces and makes
them realize they are part of a larger
universe, she said.
•Sailing forces you to be in tune
with all ttie natural elements -the
wind, waves, and weather. The nat-
ural rhythms of the earth," Dewitte
said. "That's something you don't get
in other sports."
The unpredictability of the sport
justifies Dewitte's emphasis for prop-
er education, she said. When people
receive high quality training, they
are more equipped to handle the dif-
ferent variables, lhe said.
Although Dewitte also recom-
mends taking a daaroom naviga-
tional Ooutle, it ti not required by the
school as a pnnquillte to sailing. But
the moie knowledge tomeOne has,
the better they are able to face the
challenges that sailing can produce.
•If there weren't some risk, we
wouldn't do it We'd be content on
our couchel at home watching other
people live their Jives,• Dewitte said.
"But sailing is like life, you've got to
do it to get the most from it."
Dewitte bu been a boater since
her three-week trip from Piji to New
Zealand, she saJd. She said she nev-
er felt a more calming feeling than
being .out there on the water for so
long. It was like her life was reduced
to its simplest form. she said.
"It's just you, and the boat and the
wind and the water,• she said. •1t
felt llk.e everything blended. I felt
like I was a part of something and I
continued to seek it out.•
She has yet to esc.ape the allure of
the sparkling water and hopes 6er
students find the same passion in the
sport.
level just before going on to
Boy Scouts.
I know because l was
once a Webelo, though
because I had great difficulty
doing things like climbing
trees, which were require-
mats back in thole old
days, my Boy Scout career
got kind of cut short.

paper to write. The only sad part
now ts that I'm going to have to
steal her job. I feel bad about it
Maybe we can work something out
together.·
Before Mullen lobbies for a
career at CHOC, she still has
another veer of pitching in fron{ of
her, after tramfentng from
Goldey-Beacom College in
Delaware to a community college
for one year, then to West Chester.
Mullen, whose best pitch ii a
tbree-knuckle drop, was voted the
team's most valuable player
her sophomore sea.son at
Goldey-Beacom ln 1999.
But the school didn't
offer the major in sodal
work that Mullen was
seeking, so she
tramferred.
The latest honoree in
the Daily PUot Sports
Hall of Fame, who pl4ns
to attend graduate
school at San Frandsco
State or the University of
San Prandsco, thrives on
oft-speed pitcbes on the
mound.Her
three-knuckle drop is so unpre.
dictable that •most catchers will
tell you it can be (nasty), because it
(sometimes) bounces three feet
before the plate. But when it's
working, it's nice.·
In high school, Mullen also
played field hockey, but softball
was her sped.alty. She played four
varsity seasons at Newport Harbor
and earned All-Sea View League
honors all four years, her freshman
year u a third bueman and the
lut tbree u a pitcher.
Mullen was also a four-ttme
all-dlstrid selection, including the
aforementioned Player of the Year
honor u a junior in '96, wben abe
batted .352 and won 6 of 11
pttching dedslonl, lndudlng a
no-bitter and three one-bitterl.
Mullen, who also slugged a
grand a1am that l8UOD and WU
subMquenUy named Ody POot

67 ln 64 Innings with a 2.63
earned-run average u Newport
