El Toro foes blast environmental report
•Among other groups responding to the proposed airport's

County leaders weren't shy about
lowering the1r sights on Orange
County's responses to quesbons about
the proposed airport at the dosed El
Toro Marine Corps Air Station.
Not long after the county's Local
Redevelopment Authority released
17 volumes of responses, totaling
some 11,500 pages, the El Toro
Reuse Planning Authority weighed
in on the subject.
A handful of other groups bad
also submitted comments and con-
cerns, including Newport Beach,
supporters of a runway altemativ~
created by a retired Newport Beach
engineer, the Irvine Co. and dozens
or other groups and individuals.
Not surprisingly, Newport Beach
threw its support behind the report,
saying it is "thorough and accurate"
and applauding the county for
demonstrating "great sensitivity to
the surrounding communities.•

A bumpy ride
up the coast
Q uite a few readers
have asked for me to
write about my •04-
nautiCal mile voyage aboard
Bayport Yachts caiver 530
from Newport Harbor to Gas
Cove in San Francisco, a trip
that requires rounding the
notorious Point Conception,
so here is a brief synopsis.
For this trip, we needed all
the fuel we rou1d hoki until our
next fuel stop 3Z1 nautical miles
away at Santa Cruz Hlllbor, the
city that p~ to be a no-
nuke city-whatever that
means. No micro\\'aves, per-
bap&1 So, oo tbe way out c1
Newport was my custooMlry
stop at Hill's Puel Servire where
Gary Hill topped ctf our diesel
tanks, and allowed time fer Tun
We&t my first ctfioor & engi-
neer, to replaa! the primary fuel
filters. It is always a plessure to
dlat with Gary, who is a wealth
of sea-going knowtedge and a
master c1 POnt Cmooptim.
Departing Newport at
noontime in bumpy yet tolera-
ble sea conditions only wors-
ened when we entered the
Santa Barbara O\annel where
the shipping lanes twn at Port
Huename. The sun was start-
ing to set and the winds were
inaea.sing 20 to 30 knots
building the seas at 6 to 8 feet
with a 5-second interval that
began to pound the yacht. I
tried to get a break from the
seas by shadowing in the lee
of a freighter going about 15
knoes, but we bad to slow
down to 12 knots going
around Point CooceptioD. COD·
stantly taking water over our
flybrldge from the wind chop.
1be seas began to lessen
nee.ring Point SUr where the
Padfic heom>e a pood with
smooth water for the rest of
the bip, however now comes
the fog alter our fuel stop at
Santa Cruz. We hit a thick fog
bank with less than a quarter
mile visibility, making US DAV·
igate only by radar, GPS, lis-
tening for signals, and moni-
toring vessel traffic service for
the reports of inbound and
outbound ship activity.
This made the approach to
San Francisco Bay a littJe diffi.
cult as, c1 course. the fog thick-
ens between the hlDs at the
San Prandsco Bay entrance so
much that we could not see
the Golden Gate Bridge as we
passed underneath hoping not
to t-bone the inbo\md support
column that radar cannot dif.
ferentiate. Funny, as we were
approaching Gas Cove just a
ooup1e miles in from the Goki-
en Gate, tbe fog lifted allowing
us to ftnd the smaD.-proteded
opening to tbe Cove where we
stepped off and the owner
stepped on to mnttnue to bis
boo18 port at DbooYery Bay.
Another sete trlp and no trip
for tbe faint hearted. I asked
myself "Why do I keep cbng
this? For the adventure? No.

Narwhal pushes through the panama Canal COSTA MESA
• The U.S. Coast Guard cutter also passes
through Costa Rica with El Salvador its next stop.
Lt. John Kldwell
SPECIAL TO THE DAILY PILOT
• EDITOR'S NOTE: During a 35-day
journey from New Orleans to New-
port Beach via the Panama canat,
Lt; John Kidwell, commander of the
new Coast Guard cutter Narwhal ·
has offered to keep the Newport:
Mesa community updated on the
crew's journey through a series of ~II reports and photos from a
dozen ports of call. The following Is
his sixth report as he takes our
readers aboard the ship:
On the morning of Aug. 5,
we cast off lines from British
Grand Cayman and headed
south to Panama. Our short
stay in the Grand Caymans
was outstanding. However,
after only a few days it was
time to move on.
The 625-mile track line to
Cristobol, Panama was, at 10
knots, a long one. EncoUJlter·
ing heavy seas the entire way,
the crew was able to conduct
training and build a greater
faith in their new ship's abili·
ties under extreme conditions.
Both Narwhal and her
crew operated flawlessly in
the heavy weather, encoun-
tenng more than 10-to 15-
f oot seas. Looking back, this
l~g· was nothing short of
exhausting. I would recom-
mend to any mariner of a
smaller vessel to sail south-
east to Port De Limon, Costa
Rica (on the gulf side) and
break up the trip, giving
themselves some much need-
ed rest and supplies.
At about 0900 (9 a.m.) on
the morning of Aug. 8, we
anived in Panama. Negotiat-
ing the canal quickly becomes
a logistic nightmare for a
smaller vessel like ours.
Unable to transit alone, we
were forced along the side
wall and stuck between
nwnerous large freighters. The
quick 42-mile bip ended up
taking us more than 19 hours.
Anyone thinking about
making this journey, please
feel free to contact us when
we return to our Corona del
Mar moorings. We collected
much information that would
be beneficial to smaller ves-
sels to make the transit safer
and fa¥er.
Arriving at 0200 (2 a.m.) in
Rodman, Panama, with no
available pier space, we were
fortunate to find the U.S.
Coast Guard cutter Gentian
-a 180-foot international
training vessel. She allowed
us to moor alongside. take on
fuel and get a few boun of
rest. Tbe aew of the Gentian
were lifesaven.
It was great to see a friend-
ly face after the long, 19-hour
transit. Once fueled and with
just an hour or two of rest, we
set sail for the blue water of
the Pacific. The entire crew
was extremely happy and ,
cheered as our gyro compass
read ~north.• Our next stop
would be Golfito, Costa Rica.
• • •
Leaving Panama behind
us, we started on our 329·
mile track line to Golfito, Cos·
ta Rica. Incredibly, the clouds
parted and the seas calmed,
making this leg a welcome
rest. Immediately entering
Golfito, Costa Rica, we were
greeted with overwhelming
hospitality. Costa Rica is
breathtaking, to say the least.
The port Qf Golfito is very
sheltered and the moorings
are good for a vessel of almost
any size.· I strongly recom-
mend Golfito to be a stop on
any northbound mariner's sail
plan. Not physically touching
land since British Grand Cay-
man, the crew was due for a
good liberty stop. Taking in
the local sights: the moun-
tains, the jungles and, of
course, tbe1ncred.1b1e surfing,
the aew is really getting a
chance to stretch its legs.
Logistically, Golfito iJ per-
fect. Water, fuel and prmry-
sio.ns are all readily available.
Even more importantly, the
people of Golfito are incredi-
bly friendly and helpful. As
far as port stops go, I don't
know if we are going to be
able to top this one. So far,
Costa Rlca _has my vote, and
the vote on the ship Js over-
whelmingly the same.
Looking forward, we will
be departing on Monday
morning (Aug. 13) for Fonse-
ca, El Salvador. Once there,
the Commander of the El Sal-
vadoran Navy, as well as the
crew of the El Salvadoran
Naval Vessel PM-12, will
await us. PM-12 is formerly
the U.S. Coast Guard cutter
Point Stuart of Corona del
Mar.
We are very much looking
forward to seeing our old ship
and see how she is perform-
ing for the Navy of El Sal-
vador. We are also excited to
see the El Salvadoran crew,
who we all befriended back
in April. We often wonder
how their transit south
worked out, after they took
control of their new ship . We
shall see.

print shirts worn by vacation-
ers wanting the getaway look.
The designs originate in
Dobrott's home where green-
shuttered windows let the sun
in and where palm trees grow
year-round. Sometimes, they
end up as far away as Puerto
Vallarta and Singapore.
•You see a lot of it in the
airport," Dobrott, 43, said of
her shirts. ·And it feels really
good. You wanna go up to
them and thank them for
buying:•
Last weekend, she went
to an Eric Clapton concert
where about half the male
· visitors wore aloha shirts.
She spotted her designs in
the crowd.
During'her international
trf vels for work -she goes
to Bali for tropical inspi.ration
and Jakarta for fabrics -
Dobrott sees travelers clut-
tering airport terminals Wlth
her prints.
And walk into almost any
gift shop in resort states,
including California, Hawaii
and Florida, and Kahala
racks will boast her designs.
•It's fun, it's kitschy, it's
campy,• Dobrott said of her
fashions. •1t•s fun clothes to
wear. And it's unique to our
area here. You go to Kansas
and you don't see people
wearing this .•
The Newport Beach native,
who has also designed for
brands like Sportif and Pineap-
ple Connection. grew up in the
water scene. She spent much
of her childhood on the beach.
She remembers biking over to
44th Street where a friend
lived -the house had a front
yard that was the ocean -and
hanging out everyday.
Today, the 43-year-old
designer is learning to surf.
Her job has taken her to
Waikiki and the other Hawai-
ian islands so many times
that she knows the exact
order of hotels along a well-
known Waikikian strip. She
is familiar with the tropical
ambience of the Caribbean
and closer coastal states.
Her knowledge of all
things having to do with the
beach shows up in her
designs, which are done in
watercolor, gauche and by
computer.
The result?
A promotion of the resort
lifestyle, Dobrott adrruts.
Sporting a golden tan and
copped pants of her own
design, she sipped from a
blue mug of tea at home this
week as the sun hit her petite
but browned h'ame and said
she can't help but sell this life.
·1 mean, who wouldn't
want to live here?" Dobrott
asked.
But Donna Fitch, mer-
chandising manager for
Kabala sportswear, said
Dobrott's flair Iles in her abil-
Presented by
ity to design for a set region
and people.
•She can take what's hap-
pening in the marketplace
and make it applicable,· she
said. "She knows how to take
trends and translate them to
the appropnate customer.•
Dobrott's fund-raiser shirts
for Newport Harbor High
School's football team are
examples of her versatility.
Against a navy blue back-
ground, she designed Harbor
High in a scene including the
Balboa Pavilion, palm trees
and a school scoreboard.
"This year, we're doing
pajama bottoms,• said
Dobrott, whose son is a stu-
dent at the school.
Some of her designs,
including an Asian-print line.
show nothing of the surf life.
But most of her prints cater to
the surf-and-resort industry.
When asked why the
favoritism, Dobrott says she
likes the fun.
"It can be very whimsical,
it doesn't have to be serious,
l think it's fun to wear
clothes that are conversation-
al,· she said.
Fitch added: • 1 think
there's a romance to it. We
want someone to put on one
of our garments and if they
live in Seattle or Newport
Beach or Chicago, feel like
they're on a beach.•

understood the term bouncing
around at an early age.
·1 lived in just about every
state when I was little,~ said
Coluccio, born in Mesa, Ariz.,
before spending most of his .
childhood in a town outside of
Olympia, Wash.
When Bob and Teny Coluccio
moved the family to Newport
Beach, it was a bit of a culture
shock for Branon, who was about
to enter seventh grade
at Ensign Intermediate
School.
•1t was the first day
or school and I had a
hockey haircut,• he
said. ·1 would say it
was a pretty harsh
transition at first, but I
adJ usted relatively
quick and I think
sports helped out a
lot.•
A co-captain and the team's
offensive MVP, Coluccio carried
a 3.5 grade-point average and
was selected to the GTE/Rams
Academic All-Orange County
football team as a senior.
In soccer, Coluccio was also a
three-year varsity player, and, as
a junior, helped the
Sailors share the CIF
1-A championship
with Centennial or
Corona.
•1t was a highlight
and a lowlight,•
Coluccio said of the

finished 16-4-8 under

and reached the CIF
title game as a

was later slowed by injuries after

safety in football and all-league
center/forward in soccer,
Coluccio played center field in
baseball for three varsity
seasons, mostly with longtime
teammates Matt Palafeni, Chris
Carden, Aaron McKown and
Brian Rogers.
•The baseball team was very
special,• Coluccio said. •There
was a group of about six of us
who played together every year
since I was 12, when we moved
down there.•
Coluccio, who has lived in
Dallas, Texas, since arriving at
SMU as a freshman in the fall of
1992, likes to joke about bow he bas helped Coach Jeff Brinkley's
Newport football program to
prominenc.-e by •ieav:tng."
Coluccio, however, wu a

and u a wide receiver h!i 18nior

•The highlight was
that we had a great run and it
was such a great team. ~ut, at
the same time, I can't tell you
how disappointed we were
when we walked away with a
(scoreless) tie in the CIF
championship game (at Gahr
High). I couldn't believe it. They
wouldn't let us play it out (after a
second overtime).•
In 1992, Coluccio was moved
to sweeper and considered •a

to ShehAdi. as Newport Harbor
went 11-8-2 before losing to

in sudden-death overtime.

Vanguard University starts 2001
campaign with a lot of question
marks in search for GSAC glory.

D AILY PILOT
COSTA MESA -There are 18
players on this year's Vanguard
University men's soccer team.
No, really, there are.
"We're starting the season a lit-
tle shorthanded,• VU assistant
coach Fred Goff said. ·we only
have two returning starters from
last year so everyone IS still learn-
ing on the fly around here.•
The Lions completed the 2000
season 10-5-1 and qualified for
the GSAC playoffs. The talent IS
there, despite the youth-heavy
squad.
Leading that talent pool is
junior Tomas Serna. The Santa
Ana CoUege transfer was the
Commuruty College Male Athlete
of the Year after he helped gwde
the Dons to the state title,

"This is a young man Wlth a
bJ"i9hl future." Goff said. "He
co\.\ld play in the MLS right now,
he's that good. But he wants to get
his education and perhaps even
be a coach. He's showing that by
the work he's done with the fresh-
men.•
Coach -Dave Mcleish
Assistant c.oach -Fred Goff
Joining Serna up front will be
6-foot-3 freshman Matt Hess, who scored the Lions' lone goaJ in their
opening 4-1 loss lo Cal State Dominguez H1Us
The Lions' midfield will be led by senior Matt S'\\.'1.ft and Estanoa High
standout Armando Ortiz.
•Armando is very mature for bemg only a freshman." Goff said. "He's
got a ton of major soccer experience, so he's r.ot rattled by any of this.
He's used to playing al a lugh level."
Defensively, the Lions will rely on semor captain Michael Murphy
(Orange Coast CoUege), sophomore Ryan Sullivan dnd juruor Oscar Reitz
to carry a majority of the responsibility.
"Michael IS the unsung hero of tlus tedm, • Goff said. "He's our gnat
We hnd the other team's best scorer and we put Michael on lum. Last
year, Michael gave up only one goaJ against the other team's best play-
ers, which is remarkable. He's as solid as they come.•
Goalkeepers Tommaso Bianchi and Duke Burchell (Newport Harbor)
will compete for the starting job, but with the Lions shorthanded. Burchell
has seen some work in the field as well.
"Duke is a nut,• Goff saict. •He plays with d lot of passion and he's
very physically gifted. Tommaso is from Canada where he played for the
National 20 and-under team. Me~ sttn 9ettmg LISed to the dlfferent, more
physical style of soccer here."
Some may look at the Lions and see a rebuilding year, but Goff dis-
agrees. "We're rebuilding, but we've got a ton of talent,· he said. "When
we get healthy, we're going to be be~ than we were last year.·
