Shalimar Learning Center shuts down • Prompted by a protest last week over the firing .of Maria Alvarez, officials close after-school tutoring program. Jennifer Kho DAILY PILOT COSTAMESA- After six years of providing after- school tutoring and an academic refuge for students, the Shalimar Leaming Center has closed its doors . And there is a question of whether Marla Alvarez the center will ever reopen -at least at its current loca- tion, said Randy Barth, volunteer chairman of Think Together. the organization that oversees Shal.i.mar and five other learning centers. ·we felt physically threatened last week and we're not gomg to put cen- ter staff or volunteers in that posi- tion,· Barth said. "We're going to really take some ~ to look for a better long-term solution. At the moment, I don't see us reopening in the neighborhood any time soon." The closure stemmed from a heat- ed demonstration Thursday when children and parents rallied for hours to protest the Sept. 12 firing of long- time Shalimar staff member Maria Alvarez. Community leader Paty Madueno said she doubted that the protest had be"en out of hand. But she said it was sad to see the situation at Shalimar tum ugly. Alvarez was fired because of a "deep difference of opinion" between her and other staff members, Barth said. Barth said protesters trapped staff members in one of the center's three apartments, banged on the windows and threw objects at them. However, the police were not called.

With that in mind, I thought my wish had been granted when a nice young lady called me up last month and asked if I would like to receive $4,000 for my child's education. J said, ·sure. Make the check out to Stanford.• The next thing I knew, I received a certilicate in the mail making me my neighborhood's Yes on Prop. 38 School Vouchers 2000 team leader. J haven't read the text of the proposition, but I already have my concerns. According to the cam- paign literatwe, California schools are in sad shape, with our students performing al the bottom of the nation's rankings. But what those polls don't tell you is that the actual number of California students who excelled in all of those test indicators is greater than the number in other states. Probably more Newport-Mesa students attend the top 25 universi- ties in the nation than almost any other school district. That doesn't mean we don't have problems. but I don't think we should make deci- sions on a handful of numbers •., thrown out ~re to scare us. .II."¥ • The question I keep asking myself is bow my $4,000 in lax dol- lars for the students already going to Sage fl.ill or Mater Dei will improve California students' overall J)erlonrtance 'SCOl'eS. ' Currently, private school students are not required to take any of the standardized tests, so we won't know if the $4,000 I don't currently spend on sending those kids to school makes any difference. And the proposition doesn't require those students to take a test if it passes, so taxpayers won't know if they are getting their money's worth. Instead of spending my lax do!- ~ on kids al.ready at private schools -and who have no effect on state test scores because they don't take the test -why not spend more money on the kids scoring in the bottom 20% on the tests? Target the worst performers. If the vouchers were only available to the kids scoring at 20% or below, then it might have some effect on the state results. If those kids were at a school that didn't take tbe test. it would raise the state's overall scores, even if those cbildren made no improvement. But given the correlation between low test soores and pover- ty, tbe voucher system would only work if the voucher picked up the entire cost for those students in the bottom 20%, including transporta- tion and lunch costs. And even if that hurdle could be passed. you would have to talk private schools into taking the kids in the bottom 20% -who might have special education needs, medical problems, or spee.k a different language. Spedal education students cost 33% more than is received for spe- cial education. What private school ii going to take a number of stu- dents that COits them 33% more than they receive 1n tuition?

The day workers are certainly visible at the job center and anyone needing a day laborer certainly knows where to go to find them. No .one bas to drive around the city looking for a d ay laborer, or pull .over to the curb to try to negotiate I tor services, thus impeding the flow of traffic.

TOM STEFL Corona del Mar COMMUNITY COMMENTARY Qty's vision for Mariner's Mile is shortsighte~ By George Jeffries T he city's •vision" for Mariner's Mile appears to be severely impacted by myopia. While planners suggest a cosmet- ic make-over, it appears their eyes are not focused on our traffic prob- lems. lb.is issue should be addressed first. To compound the existing traffic problem, tbe planners recommend further commercial development Our current traffic phasing ordi- nance provides that city traffic should not be delayed more tban one signal change at an intersection. The current general plan pro- vides for six lanes through Mariner's Mile where generally there are only four. _ A 1987 staff report described numerous alternatives to improve traffic Oow. I The city should implement the six-lane requirement of the general plan. .,.. Jn the interim, the city should pursue other improvement devices such as restricted street parking, restriping for extra lanes, employee off-street parking, and no left turns at Riverside and Tustin avenues dur· ing peak traffic hours. llvwn, Walter.G. Howald, Jem' Pi:I t11CJD and Armando Ruiz Peak traffic density on Mariner's Mile is much more than an eyesore. It is a municipal shame. Councilwoman Norma Glover reportedly opposes any suggestions that might increase traffic Oow. Recently, Councilman Tod R.idge'.- way's initiative to obtain funds to examine widening Coast Highway in this area died for lack of support.

In contrast, look at the lev- el of community involvement expressing opposition to the Dunes hotel. Planning Com- mission meetings were packed with residents opposed to the hotel. The city ultunately received more than 1,000 letters and mes- sages opposed to the hotel. A large coalition of homeown- ers groups opposed the hotel. The envuonrnental 1mpact report was thoroughly cn- tiqued. with absurd con- tentions such as the state- ment that construcllon of the hotel would unprove long- term traffic at 36 major mter- sections called to the atten- tion of the commissioners. The result of all this effort? The planning com.missioners unanimously approved the hotel. Discussions with indi- vidual council members indi- cated that the City Council was on track to approve the hotel until the project was delayed until after the November election, presum- ably to protect the council from the political fallout of their decision. If the intensity of commu- nity opposition against the Dunes hotel did not convince 1 city officials to uphold the prior settlement agreement limiting the size of the hotel. bow can residents ever hope to match the irresistible in.flu· ence of large developers? Ashley is right when be says tbat many people feel we cannot trust City Council members to represent the will or tbe people regarding development issues.

THE FREE GAMES like tµmi~g on the switch Sydney offers some new twists. Brad Alan Lewis SPECJAI. TO THE DAILY PILOT F~~~ey - The 1956 Melbourne Olymptcs were known as the Friendly Games. Not only are the 2000 Sydney Games exceptionally friendly, they may go down in history as the Free Games. Without spending a dime a tourist can have all sorts of fun. The whole of downtown Sydney has been transformed into an enonnous · Olympic-Sports zone. On every block, some complimentary distraction beacons the curious, penurious tourist. • Manderino's move to tailback could be start of something big for Newport Harbor football this season. Tie scoreboard, the gauge the Newport Harbor High ootball team has been taught matte.rs most, revealed the program's first lo5s in 16 games, its .first defeat in 31 games against non-Sea View League competition. And, dutifully, the disheartened Sailors reacted as if mor~an a couple streaks, includin~ the first Week 2 defeat in Coach Jeff Brinkley's 15-season tenure, had died.

A curious spectator could see the events in one of several ways: ln person at the Aquatic Center located within the Sydney Olympic Park; on television at home or in one of the countless pubs around town. I explored a fantastic third option: Free of charge in Belmore Park. In the stands and, I suspect, even in the somber postgame recesses of the Harbor coaches' office, however, there was much to smile about concerning the 2000 future of the defending CIP Southern Section Division VI champions.

Belmore Park is located just across from Central Station in downtown Sydney. A giant 1V -no less than io feet by 20 feet, was set at one end of the park. Sitting, standing, cheering in front of the 1V were about 5,000 fellow ticket-less spectators. Had you been sitting alongside me, this is what you would have experienced. A smoky-smell hangs in the air -a few miles outside of town an authentic Australian bush fire is burning, driven by easterly winds. Mixing with the burning eucalyptus-incense is the smell of car and diesel exhaust -several big busses idle nearby on Pitt Street. In a throwback to earber times, leaded gasoline is still sold and used in Australia -the exhaust that leaded gas produces is a long forgotten smell for those of us from Southern California. Supposedly the Aussies have the second-oldest fleet of cars -second only to Cuba. These old cars need leaded gasoline. It's a warm evening -shorts and T-shirt weather. Most people have brought a towel or folding chair on which to sit. For some reason the park itself doesn't have any real grass -just synthetic plastic glass. About half the men in the audience are drtnking beer -the beer of choice is called Victoria Bitter -the Down Under eqwvalent of Coors. The style of bottle hold.mg the Victoria Bitter is called a •stubbie." The name eiacUy describes its shape, short and squat. So ubiquitous are these stubbies that one cannot help but wonder if the designers of the Olympic medals might hot have attempted to work their shape into the design of the medal. The core audience has settled in around 7 :30 -on the perimeter of the park people constantly streamed along -often watching for a few minutes, ./ then moving along. ./ Like the races, the cotrunercials come like clockwork, and inevitably I found mysell reaching for a nonexistent remote control to see what else might be on during the commercials. So 1t goes. The crowd, the stubbies, the late-evening fireworks, we'll all be back tomorrow as the party continues. • Brad Alan Lewis is a product of Corona del Mar High and a gold-medal winner in rowing at the 1984 Games In Los Angeles. Barry Faulkner PREPS For though the Tars indeed lost the 26-18 decision to Marina Thursday, Brinkley's long-contemplated decision to shift senior Chris Manderino fTom quarterback to tailback appears to have given this team its identity, as well as some much-needed offensive confidence. Though the move was not enough to overcome the 13-3 deficit that preceded it, the Sailors, just as they did with last year's 21-21 tie against Marina in which Manderino won a two-man battle for the quarte rback job, may look back at this year's Marina game as a lightning rod for future success. For those who witnessed junior Morgan Craig's first handoff to Manderino this fall, it was as if a cloud over the Harbor offense, or, more i.]>ed.fically, the running game, had lifted. Prior to Manderino stepping backward into the position in which he flourished as a fTeshman, Harbor bad produced 72 rushing yards and three rushing first downs in its first six quarters this season. Manderino needed only five carries to match those three first downs and went on to finish with 83 yards on 13 carries from the tailback spot, adding two more first-down pickups and a 5-yard touchdown run. For his part, Craig, who starred for the successful 1998 fTeshma.n team, overcame an opening-snap fumble to complete six of his first eight passes for 93 yards and a TD. He also showed Manderino-like escapabillty, picking up 8 yards with a nifty scramble around the left side and Misty gets more time • Newport Harbor High product continues her regimen working on exercises to alleviate tom stomach· injury.

The United States' other team in women's play, Jenny Johnson Jordan and Annett Davis, also won in the qualifying round for the Round of 16 and also gained the extra time before Wednesday's schedule. HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL PLAYERS OF THE WEEK (COACIU' SRICTIOISJ NEWPORT HARBOR SAILORS COSTA MESI MUSTANGS working his way back to the line to avoid a loss on another aborted pass play. Bririkley, who began considering the change well before spring practice, was reluctant to move a quarterback who was 21·0-1 as a starter in high school (including a 9-0· 1 junior varsity season in '98) coming into this season. But it became clear the 6-foot-1, 205-pound Manderino was the team's strongest ballcarrier, while Craig, whom Brinkley has professed confidence in all along, may even elevate the passing game. The &tanda High football team also had a galvanizing Week 2 experience, which included a 17-13 come-from-behind victory over former Pacific Coast League rival Aliso Niguel Friday. The win, greatly emotional for the seniol'S, who had lost to Aliso, 35-0, as freshmen, took on greater Not knowing their fallen teammate's condition, many Eagle players expressed grim-faced postgame concern for Macias and some dedicated the win to him. Coach Dave Perk.ins asked the bus driver assigned to take the team fTom Newport Harbor's Davidson Field back to the Estancia campus to make a stop at Hoag so the team could check on Mario. The driver obliged and, though the players were not allowed to see Macias, Perk.ins obtained encouraging news about his condition and passed it on, to the great relief of bis troops. Macias, who said he became too excited by the events on the field and passed out due to high blood pressure, was back at Estancia Saturday morning to watch videotape with the team. He said he hopes to convince doctors to allow him to watch the Eagles' Thursday against Canyon. LAl'1' wm'I HIGH latOOL l'OOTIAU.

The bidding was reasonable. Once Nonh could jump raise hearts to game. Soulh decided there would be good play for slam since the location or all the blah cards would be known because of ihe ovcrcall. Accept deserved accolades if you selected the queen of clubs as lhe ful. tilling trick! West's diamond lead was an obvious singlet.on and South capeured E.ut'a kin& wilh die ICC. With the spcidc IUld iOOOfld diamond finease afmost sure to IUCCeed, declarer was about IO claim when !here was a rude shock al trick rwo - East discarded a diamond when declarer led a heart to the king. Now declarer could not draw all lhe uumps before taking a second dia· mond finesse, so an alternative plan had 10 be found. Thc queen or spades w!IS run and. when It held. the finesse was repeal· ed. Nut, three ·more rounds of tnlmJ>5 were drawn, Ea.\1 discmding two clubs and a diamond, and the ace of spades was cleared.,After anolher" hean was cashe4, everyone was reduced to four cards. Declarer held a trump, Q 10 of diamond.~ tmd a club. while East was down to J 9 of di&· monds and A 10 of clubs and West hlld four clubs. On the founh and fifih round of trumps, declarer had carefully prcacrved dummy's Q 3 or clubs. . When Soulh led the lasl trump. East was ruined. Si"'--e parting with a diamood would allow South to score two tricks in the suit, East was forced to di:1eard a club. If East held the ace of clubs. declarer would exit with a club to the ace and score two dia· monds on Easl's forced return, so East sluffed the oce. That was no bel· tu. Declarer ca.'lhed the 4ueen of dia- monds and. exited with a club and. whether West rose with the king or nOI, the queen of clubs woull! be the 12th crick. ;;;;:;~ .. 1-~11 -~1r -~1 mooo-rool, split rear bench, Oldlmoblle Cutlul '99 SAT\IRN Sl2 '99. air cond.
