The city was notified about the grant late last month. Officials said the money will go toward improving the restrooms and concession area at the beach. The money comes from Proposition 12, a statewide parks bond passed by voters in March 2000. The bond issue raised $2.1 billion for projects. Next week, the city will send out a mailer asking Corona del Mar residents bow they would like to see the money used, according to a dtymemo. The restroom and shade structures at the beach are more than 40 years old and in need of significant repair. Balboa construction to begin Tuesday Heavy construction work is set to begin Tuesday in Balboa Village. The city is beginning the first phase of a $9 million effort to improve the district's aging infrastructure. On Tuesday, aews will start doing utility relocation work on Balboa Boulevard, between Washington Street and Bay Avenue. Heavy excavation is set for Sept. 10. After the utilities are relo- cated, the dty will install a sys- tem ·of storm drains, a new water main in Balboa Boulevard and new restrooms, and begin rehabilitation of the Balboa Pier parking lot. During the project, alJ busi- nesses are expected to remain open. However, residents and visitors will have limited access in the area. AMIK . SCllUL111Ell MIUCUWOllll 48, Newport BMCh ...

She had to attend German school at the camp -learn- ing the language was difficult -and the adults ran little busi- nesses, including laundry and retail services.

She cried, she wanted to just get out, she didn't really know why she felt the emotions she did. In 1994, her father passed away, and Kvammen went to bury him. She brought back a box of yellowed history. Karl Lechner's passport with a swastika on the cover, pictures, documents, various lists that don't tell the complete story.

Less frequently, about once a week or so, we'd ask what's for dinner and mom would say, "'Steak.• Which meant some cheap cut of beef boiled in a pot with potatoes and seasonings, and rice and beans. Everything had to go into a pot Beef. Pork. Chicken. It went further that way.

A plate of chiCken, rice, beans and platanos was the com- plete package, and an indi- cator of things going relative- ly well in our household. · Mom became a positive wi7.a.rd with rice and beans.

To us, it WU like asking the cast· aways from "Gilligan's tslancS-: •Ooh, are you guys gonna have coconuts?" It didn't escape my moth- er's a~tion that anyone who dined at her bouse instanlly fell in Jpve with her cooking. F<>r years, she bad made a few extra bucks here and there selling plat.es of her food at holiday events and the big Puerto Rican Festival in San Pedro. She decided to get serious about it. She introduced her rice and beans to the menu of the cafeteria where she worked as a cook, and they became such a hit that she a,cided other items, like tamales and amn con pollo. She made so much money for the compa- ny that the owners expanded the cafeteria -which bad really been just a snack shop inside a department store - into a· full-fledged restaurant. And they made my mother the manager of it. From that base of opera- tions, she launched her catering business, Dolores' Catering. Soon. the Hunting- ton Park Chamber of Com- merce, the Huntington Park Police Department and City Hall were all calling her for her rice and beans. She catered weddings and birth- day parties. In this way, my mother graduated from wiz- ard to alchemist. She toOk her rice and beans and turned them into gold. She never made a fortune, but she made enough so we could finally stop calling our- selves poor. Some people achieve suc- cess by buying and selling real estate, others by playing the stock market. My mother soa1ced, boiled and simmered her way to the American Dream. Rice and beans paid for my mother's down payment on her h<me. They paid for my sisters' proms. They paid for my brother's class rtng and they paid for the suit I wrue at my graduation. My mother called me the other day as I was eating a Marie Callendar's frozen din- ner.

A bill working its way · through the House of Representa- tives, which could open Newport Harbor to more pollutioo. deseJVeS · a swUt and final death. And Christopher Cox and D4na Rohrabacher need to strike the blow. • The bW. proposed by Rep. Jim Saxton (R-NJ.), would remove the harbor's federal protection as a •no-discharge harbor• and allow boaters to dump waste into the water that is less treated. than cur- rent regulations require. Parasites and diseases found in waste would make it Into the harbor. 'That's the water we swim and boat in. It's the water the luckiest among us wake up next to each day. It's the water that makes up the character of this town. It's the very same water that II14Ily, many people rely on each day for their livelihood. Local environmentalists, not surprisingly, have come out in harsh opposition to the bill. But it shouldn't end with them, and 10 faritbam'l Newport Beach Mayor Gary Adams has joined them aad has called on Cox and Rohrabacber to oppose the bOl. Still. we haven't beard a word from our local con- gressmen. but we a.re confident that the silence from our elected officials in Congress will end soon. It has to. Becalise the calf to arms in this instance cannot be too strongly stated -the health of the largest recreational harbor in the nation is at stake. Both men -particularly Cox. who is among the House Republi- can leaders by virtue of his role as cbainnan of the House Policy Committee -need to ensure this bill never sees the light of the Housefioor. And they need to make it clear to Saxton and their fellow Republicans that protecting our nation's waters, particularly New- port Harbor, is not a frlnge move- ment -it is very clearly the will and the interest of the people they represent. Let's keep the conversation about Hollle Ranch clean . . T here sure is a lot of talk around the campfire about the Segerstroms' Home Ranch proposal. And that's a good thing for the most part. but some of it has turned into name-calling and ugly words. And that's not good. The proposal is a mighty big one: A 17~aae Ikea furniture store. About 800,000 square feet of office space, 250,000 square feet of industrial and close to 200 homes, either single family or attached.. 'That spurs many questions and rightly so. What will be its effect on traffic? Is the $2 million for Costa Mesa -schools worth the price? WW. the current Costa Mesa population be better or worse off? wm there be more jobs? Will there be more money in dty coffers? Do the pros outweigh the cons? We all should ask these ques- tions and the dty of1ida1s should find the answers because they are out there. But don't allow the debate over what lbou1d become of this open bit of land owned by the pioneer Colt.a Me1a family tA> tum bitter. Let'• debate the meritl of the _proposal and leave the conspiracy theodes and innuendo of back· room dea1I and brlbezy where they belong -in the trash bin. And when we have all the facts, we all should be able to share informed, thoughtful opinions with the Qty Council on what we think is best for Costa Mesa. Hopefully, they will list.en. In the meantime remember, the Segerstroms are not hit and run land developers. We all know the type. They make all sorts of promises and then when it comes time to deliver, the development doesn't come close to living up to its billing. The city is then stuck with a white elephant, and the developer, well. good luck trytnq to rope him down. That is clearly not the case regarding Home Ranch. These are the Segerstroms. A family that spends its time and considerable money making Costa Mesa a better place. These are the people who brought us, and con- tinue to bring us, South Coast Plaza. Metro Pointe, fine dinlng and entertainment and South ~Repertory and the Perform- ~ Arts Center, of which family pabiarch Henry Segeistrom recently handed over an addition41 _ $40 million toward expansion. So phse. Spare ualh.e talk about bow they don't care about this town. That simply ii not up fot debate. IHI UST WORD .. . A cell phone that saves lives! debeted the dangers ot dr:MDg and cha~.

I thJnk with a lot of the aspects it's too big and can probably be made smaller and quainter, but usable, and have limited use.' C wt ~gle loves the Ore.nge County Pair and it shows. The former state assemblyman lights up when he Starts talking about bis responsibilities on the Orange · County Fair Board, which be was appointed to in 1998. This year was a banner one for the 1'1-day, Costa Mesa-based fair, which saw a 20,0oo increase in attendance despite raising the entry fees by St. Pringle, the new- ly appointed board president, hopes next year's water-related theme, WLeap into the Fair," will continue the upward trend. -He sat down with Features Edi- tor Jenn.lfer K Mahal to discuss his new position (a one-year term), the board and the Orange County Fairgrounds master plan. How did you get Involved with the Orange County Pair Boardf Well, the true story is that as I was leaving the (California) Legisla- twe in 1998, Gov. Wilson asked if I would like to be appointed to some- thing as I left. I was considering a variety of things, b~t one thing that's always been of interest is how the fair operates and what happens here. That had all of the the family votes behind it. . A lot of my time after the Legisla- ture was to focus more on communi- ty and family-related things, and this fits in perfectly. So I asked to be appointed here, and he was gracious enough to appoint me. Give me a quick explanaUoo of what the board does for the Orange County Fairgrounds and EsposlUon Center. Well, it's the board of directors for the overall operation here. A lot of people see the fair as a two-week event at the summer, but in fact with the hundreds of employees, many of which operate throughout the year to keep the fad.lily maintained and operational. to provide weekend activities, to pr9vide all the different programs and events that take place here through the year -the fair is a little dty living here all through the year and not just those two weeks when the whole Orange County community, if not the Southern Cali- fornia community, maybe really see it shine in its greatest fonn. But in fact. there's activities here through the year. Mainly serving the community. The Orange County Fair itself isn't a county fair, per se, but ifs a state agricultural district that serves this area, therefore all of the board mem· bets are appointed by the governor. And they operate here, all nine of us, to serve as a board of directors basically overseeing the daily opera- tional aspects of the fair. M the new president of the board, do you .have any parttcular concerns, or Ideas or d1redton that you would Uk.e to see the board take ln the next yearf Right now, we're in the middle of a master plat). which includes reviewing all of the buildings and operations of the fairgrounds itself during fair time and outsid~f fair time, and for the next year that is certainly going to be something we move forward with to ensure that we're looking at how the fair itself is operated and to maximize the use of its grounds. And through that process, there'll be a lot of suggestions for change, IDllllY of which will be adopted and moved forward with. But, part of the purpose of having a master plan wasn't just to do something, you know, uncoordinated. I think it"s impbrtant to coordinate all of those activities and to keep everybody informed, from the local reSidents to the city people and all the other peo- ple who are invested in the fair operation itself. What's the biggest challenge that....._ the board facesf The Fair Board itself, I mean there's no question that the No. 1 focus is how do you use this piece of property landlocked in Orange County to maximize the communi- ty's involvement during fair time and outside of fair time. You know, our mission is really to focus on our core principle, which is the agricultural foundation of this county, and make sure people are aware of that. You know we have Centennial Fann, which operates all through the year, where you have tens o~ thousands of school lads come and visit every single school day throughout the year, as weU as the fair itself to make sure people see the agncuJtural influence of tlus county. And sometimes that's lost on just bringing in big numbers and h~ving a big show. But. you want to be able to do that, to be able to grow from a fair that took one-week peri- od and brought in a couple nundred thousand, to now where we have 17 days where we h~d 843,000 people visit our fair this year. You do want to grow, but you also want to, through that growth, maxinuze entertainment value and educationaJ value that is our core ppnciple. What. If anything, ls golng lo be done with the Padltc Amphitheatre? For many years, it's been tied up in litigation and that is all basically cleared away. And that's really what gave us the ability to move forward with our master plan. We said, OK, let's look at all of the aspects Qf this property and figure out how to uti- lize them, both to ma.x.imi.ze the vaJ- ue on the fairground, but to be sen- sitive to the community around us. So the ultimate decision will be made down the line. In fact, I think there are many way to insure that anything that's done to the fair- grounds is done with the greatest sensitivity to the neighborhood. Personally, what .would you like to see done with the amphJtbeatert Well I just think it's a shame that you have the largest outdoor facility in Orange County deteriorating. I think with a lot of the aspects it's too big and can probably be made smaller and quainter, but usable, MARIANNA CAY MASSEY I FOR THE DAILY PllOl' and have luruted u~. 8ut I don't know when or how to ever get to that point. But, those are things That will be discussed over the next year or so to insure that we're beLDg responsib~ in our acbons. What ls your favorite event that happens here at the falrgroundst It certainly is the fair. My family, for the three years I've been on the board, come every night of the fair. I feel that it's a board member's responsibility to be here and bring guests to see things. And it's funny, certainly the kids want to go on rides every night, so we limit it to a couple of ndes every rught so we don't totally get thrown apart. But every year it seems like we find one thing that we want to take all our friends to see. This year it was in CentenniaJ Fann. They had three separate sows deliver piglets, so we had 28, I tlunk, -or somewhere around that nwn- ber of baby pigs -and to see them all through lhe stages. And then we had the first ever ,call that was born at fair time here. And you know what. every night we went to visit, there were mobs of people gathered around the babies, and to think that, yes, that really is the purpose of this fair. To show peo- ple and to ma ke people comfortable with anirnaJ husbandry issues and U1ose trad1bona1 issues that this county was founded on. And to make people feel a part of that and enjoy that and sense that. And this year, that really was our favorite part of the fair, Just looking at the baby ptgs.

"The willingness to support really reinforces me staying here at UCl. It's fantastic to see such a strong suT>port from the students.· Olson's trek to Irvine began in Fargo. North Dakota where he grew up playing football, basketball and baseball. After some brief success as a high school baseball player, Olson focused on school at Soulbwest·State in Marshall, Minn., where he majored in hotel managment. "My sophomore year, my roommate al the time was the interim SID {Sports lnfonnation Director) and so I helped him out with some of the work,• Olson said. "My junior year I became the interim SlJ? and got involved writing press releases and domg stats for the school. Suddenly, my quest for hotel management started to fade. I realized I would much rather stay m hotels and not manage them." His senior year, Olson transh!rred to St. Cloud State, one of the top mass communication schools Ill the country. "I started worlung for the football, baseball and basketball teams in the SID office and lov~d it,• Olson said. •After I graduated, the SID resigned and I was fortundle enough to be named the SID al age 22 Sometimes you have to be at the Tight place at the nght time.• interview, they made me an offer and I needed about five seconds to m&ke up my mind.• Now, 20 years later, Olson has seen UCI go from a 16-sport, 10,000-student population to a 23-sport Division I pr<>gr8.IU with nearly 20,000 students enrolled. •J can remember when there wasn't a whole beck of a lot a.round this school,• Olson said. "But when the community began to grow and the population started to rise, I further realized the importance ot letting people know about what was going on over here.· That importance has been further complicated ~th th~ computer age. "Th~ internet bas made my life easier and baider al the same time • Olson _ ~d. "I'm lea.ming something new on Ute computer every day. The kids coming out of college hav~ a head start on some of us. My last year or two in college, we were still m the typewriter age.· A day Olson still looks back on Wlth distaste was May 26, 1992. That was the day UCT officially eliminated baseball, cross country and track and field from athletic competition. "Without a doubt. It was the saddest day in my tenure here,• Olson said. "It was a tough decision that the administration felt they had to make. It effected n~t only coaches and players here, but good fnends of mine had their lives altered from that aTlllOuncement.• Thanks to the student support, as well as support from UCI Chancellor Ralph Cicerone and Athletic Director Dan Guerrero, the dark ages of Anteater athletics appear to be over. ·He truly is the heartbeat of the athletic department.· Guerrero said. "The gTOwth we've experienced over the past few years is largely due to the work Bob has been able to do for us. He's a ~eat source of information and, bottom line, he's 1ust a great guy. He's well respected by everyone in the department.· Olson has three assistants, i.Dduding 13-year veteran Stacey Shackelford. "Her hard work and effort has been' tremendous throughout the years,· Olson said. ''l'm grateful to have someone like Stacey as my right-hand person.· Men's basketball coach Pat Douglass knows the unportance of Olson and appreciates tus efforts. "Bob is always very professional with what he does and he definitely makes my job a lot easier.• Douglass said. ·He's dilligent, enthusiastic and he understands what we have to do as a team and coaching staff to perform our duties with the · media. Plus, on the road, he's a lot of run. too.· AD Olson has to work on is tus UCI football predictions. in a Dec. 19, 1989 story, Olson told L.A.

"The winter months began to gnaw al me so I decided to s~ wbal else was out there,· Olson said. "I found out'that UCJ was interested in filling their ~ID position, so I started to do some research as to where UCI exactly was. J managed to get an "I said that?" Olson said with a laugh. "Well, I guess I was off on that one.• ., .ts Coasters are in the title mix in Mission Conference football; Martin Janzon moves on and the OCC women's golf team is short on numbers. 0 ruge Coast College football coach Mike Taylor stood at the podium and told the media and his colleagues that the Pirates needed some retooling on defense.
