Deepa Bhan.th DAILY Pu.or They all agree -it's been a quiet, cold and calm summer punctuated by tiny waves.

Lolita Harper DAILY PILOT COSTA MESA -The City Cound.l will decide tonight whether to apply for highly competitive grants to secure funding for Fairview Park, officials said. In July, the California Department of Parks and Recreation notified the city that three projects designated for Fairview Park were nominated for urban recreational and cultural centers funding. SEAN HlilR I OAl.Y Pl.OT Ruuel O'Hare opposes rezoning the property next door to his Cecil Place home to make way· for two new two-story homes. A total of $8 million is available in grant funding, and the city is asking for $7,526,660, a staff report said. The report also notes that it is highly unlikely the city will receive funding for all three projects.

Monahan said. Schrock applied for a petition to rezone an 18,000-square-foot lot -which he pur- chased for about $800,000 ...... in order to build two more houses behind the 8xiating two·story house, be said. Included are a botanical garden, habitat restoration area and the Fairview Park Huscroft House Cultural Museum. Since the cound.l has since decided not to .move the Huscroft House to Fairview Park and instead sell it or demolish it, the city must revise its application. Instead of funding for the museum. the city will instead ask only for the money for the proposed parking lot, which would still be used to access the east side of. the park, said Parks Project Manager Dave Alkema. Resident and Fairview Park enthusi- ast Bob Graham said that funding for the parking lot would greatly improve access to the park and hopefully gamer more public support. Current acxess to that side of the park requires the pub- lic to use the railroad parking lot, which is usually locked on the week- ends, Graham said. •Hopefully we can get some of these projects funded.

School Board President David Brooks said school officials have been working around the dock to try and make sure district schools are correctly staffed according to the number of students enrolled. •we are getting daily counts of how many register packets have been sent out, how many have been returned, bow many stu- dents are new and bow many are retu.m!ng, " Brooks said.

They, too, were being very careful, he said. Instead of hiring all the new teachers they thought would J>e needad,·maliy were ini- tlally hired as substitutes, until there were enough students. The last thing the dlstrlct wants to do is over-staff and then have to collapse a classroom because of a lack of students, Brooks said. Budgeting also plays a huge role in the process, he said. Having too many teachers on the payroll is extremely expen- sive, Pine added. Substitutes will be used until enrollment numbers are finalized, at which point, full-time teachers will have priority on classrooms, then the new hires will be made. •All of our substitutes are fully credentialed and more' than capa- ble teachers, 11 brooks said. At the beginning of last week, there were nine elementary school classrooms scheduled to start with these substitutes, Fine said. By Friday, that number was down to five. _ . •come Tuesday, I don't think we'll have any problem,• Pine said Friday. "By the time we get through that first week and into the second, we'll be at or above our 'projected numbers.

For the last five days, Ellis had been on campus attending plan- ning meetings, putting up bulletin boards and positioning the desks for her third-grade classroom . She is looking forward to what she hopes will be her first tull- ti.me teaching position this year. Although her position is not guaranteed, she is treating her job as if she will be there all year.

Lolita Harper DAILY PILOT COSTA MESA -With a $200 fine looming, Westside resident Dave Morley ls fighting against the city's • code enforcement. Morley filed an appeal in Harbor Municipal Court last week on a code violation for allegedly living in bis garage. ·1 wanted to get it resolved before it got to this level, but I have to protect my own interests too,• he said. Code enforcement offi- cials contend Morley, who lives in the 2000 block of Maple Avenue, is violating a city code because his garage was converted into a bed- room. · The citation said he must conform to the regulation by turning what is now his bed- room back into a garage, or apply for the proper permit to turn the garage into a liv- ing space and then build a garage somewhere else on his property. The handyman said the garage has been a bedroom for the last 50 years. That is the way his parents bought the house, and that is how his family has continued to use the space. If his bedroom were converted back to a garage, there would not be enough space in the modest two-bedroom house -not counting the garage -for he, his wife and her two sons, he said.

I shouldn't be responsible for what was done more than 20 years ago,• he said. Councilman Gary Mona- han agreed. Monahan said he is trying to propose a process for resi- dents like Morley who have found themselves the vic- tims of the new proactive codes. The councilman said he would like to set up a review board where certain cases could be heard and a resolution could be met without having to go to court. New property mainte- nance codes went into effect in August 2000. Costa Mesa code enforcement officers have been walking the streets and targeting the worst offenders since December. The property codes pro- hibit peeling paint, dry rot, broken windows, tom screens or deteriorating walls. The codes also require that sidewalks or parkways be free of deteriorating fences or signs, dead or dying plants and litter or weeds.

The first round of enforcement ended last month.

A portion of each additional house will be two stories and Schrock plans to move into the front house, he said.

It was Schrock's applica- tion that sparked' a neighbor- hood-wide protest. Russel O'Hare, whose fence backs up to the mas- sive property, said the hous- es would crowd the neigh- borhood . and cheapen its character. The reason he bought a house in Costa Mesa, ·instead of buying a brand new home in South County, was because he liked the feel of the neigh- borhood, he said.

When you rezone in the middle, you defeat the purpose and destroy the reciprocity," Egan said. O'Hare said he is also resentful of developers who buy property on the Eastside only to build multiunit hous- ing and make a quick buck. In recent history, there were a number of lots that were pwchased only to raze the existing structure and build apartments, Garlich said.

Judy Riley taught at Paularino Elementary School during the many years our family was enrolled there. Before that. she taught at Lin- coln, and afterward at Davis. She was known for three things at Paularino: the winter program and grade level assemblies that were put on once a month. with her play- ing piano while the students sang; the spring musical, in which every sixth-grade stu- dent participated, and for whk:h she aq;ompanied the production on the piano: and making sixth grade so tough that high school seemed easy. There were three sixth- grade teachers at Paularino durlng those years. Because she was committed to having children sing and perform when music programs were cut. she would take edt:b grade level and work with them 4uring the month they would perfoqn at the assem- bly. She taugftt1hem how to stand on the risers and how to pay attention. Often, the songs were in different lan- guapes. To do this, her best frielid and fellow teacher, Mary Zillgitt. bad to teach two classes of sixth-graders, but she never complained. Ms. Riley taught songs to all grade levels for the winter program, and you could often hear hef ling:ing along to keep the kids on note and on tbe tight words. wtlt1 all d this b'aining in the eally QJade levels, the lixth-graders were ready to tadd81be spiDg tm>sical ~:-each sbldent bad to be il in same capacity, they didn't have to protest that act- ing was uncool.

Ms. Riley always retained her role as taskmaster and enforcer, believing every child could and should behave. As my kids recall, all students could behave for Ms. Riley, so they can't blame any bad behavior after her on never having leamed their manners. What I appreciate most about Ms. Riley now, which I didn't during those weekends when I bad to stay home with my daughters for them to complete ilSSignments, was her belief that students should rise to the level of her expectations, instead of allowing the students to set their own benchmark. If most of the class mem- bers won't do their home- work, many teachers stop assigning so much. leading to a downward spiral Not Ms. Riley. The word •inquiry• still sends shuddeB down the backs o1 her former students. She devised a way for stu- dents to pick mediums to complete a multi-task assign· menl They could manufac- ture papyrus, build a pyramid. write a diary, do a research paper, give a speech, create a play, prepare some food or other tasks.

I think that C.J. Segerstrom & Sons is giving the gilt of vision and progress to our community just by embelllJhing ow landscape with the Home Ranch project. They've already generously con- tributed to the beautification of South Coast Drive and Bear Street by constructing one of the most prominent sboppin.g centers in the world, South Coast Plaza. So when the Home Ranch pro- ject becomes a part of South Coast Drive and Harbor Boulevard, it'll transform a piece of unproductive land into a striving, eidting, rev- enue·generating'complex.

CdM returns six key players and are in position for. a ~IF three-peat , after successful summer campaign. ,, Steve Virgen DAILY PILOT CORONA DEL MAR -John Vargas, the Corona del Mar boys water polo coach, has a simple strategy for the Sea Kings' success. It's not cocky or flashy and it bas worked for the past two years as CdM completed a back-to- back title run last year, that included consecutive CIF Southern Section Division Il • championships. The Sea Kings finished with a 22~ and also with second straight Pacific Coast League title last season. The strategy: the Sea Kings observe the competition and rate how they rank against the elite. Tb.en they set a goal of winning the PCL so that they can attain a good seed in the playofts. Pinally, CdM aims to be playing its best water polo at the end of the season. The 2001 season will not be different. •1t•s the same mentality th.is season ." said Vargas, who enters his 18th season as head coach at CdM. ·we're definitely capable of winning league. Laguna (Beach) is pretty strong. They also had & good summer. They're going to be very competitive and tough going into the playoffs.• Just how do the Sea Kings rate against the elite? ·nme will ten.• Vargas said, not showing bis cards. Vargas did say CdM will rely on its offensive power to overcome the opposition. ·we have a lot ef go-to guys,• Vargas said. ·That is good news because we have a lot of those guys. But, the bad news ls we only have • one ball." The Sea Kings re turn six, whom saw significant playing time on last year's champi- onship squad, induding seniors Michael March (first-~eam PCL), Bobby Messenger (second- team PCl., third-team CIF), Marcello Pantuliano and Sherwin Kim (136 saves, second-team CIF and PCL), and juniors Artie Dorr (firsMeam All-CIF and PCL) and John Mann. March, Dorr and Mann are expected to be those go-to shooters and the defense of seniors Chris Hinger and Matt Meyer allows the CdM trio to break free, Vargas said. •(Hinger and Meyer) both bad good summers,• Vargas said. •ChJis and Matt are big guys and they can guard set and that allows Michael and Artie t9 be fr~e and gain advantage in their position.· Most or the Sea Kings ended their summer with the Hawaiian Invitational, playing dub water polo. While most clubs their age competed in the 18-and-under division, the Sea Kings baWed in the men's field , not by choice. The tournament directors asked CdM to enter the men's division because the 18- and-under division was full.
