Both Rep. NEWPORT Christopher Cox (R-BEICH Newport Beach) and Rep. Dana Robrabacher CR-Huntington Beach) have vowed to fight the proposal, made by a New Jen;ey Republican. • The bill would amend the Clean Water Act by revising the standards for bacteria levels and allow boats equipped with a kind of "marine sanitation device" to dump waste into protected waters.

But the Bradley family, who had just loBt one of their cats to a coyote attack, was very nice and espe_- clally accommodating.

Jim Felton's history •Newport looldit Beach: The BAC First Century, 1888-1988," tells us his name was Prank Sharps. He was part of a Newport Beach pioneer family tMt arrived in South- ern California via wagon in 1869. They moved to New- port in 1892 and sometime after that Sharps became the city's first lifeguard. His sis- ter Ethel was the city's first telephone operator. But that's about all that's known about Sharps. How long he held the position of lifeguard and what he did after he left the guarding business is at the moment a mystery of history. Back then, lifeguards were considered almost like a subsidiary of the fire department, even though they weren't really part of the fire deparbnent, said Lois Irwin, Al Irwin's wife. •1n the swmner the boys all came together, the city appointed a head of the group and off they went," she said. •They did their job.• The men reported to the city manager. People with experience as lifeguards and academic backgrounds were hired to handle to adminis- trative duties. Eventually the lifeguards did become a part of the fire department. Then in the late '50s, lifeguards became part of the city's marine depart-' ment, but in 1996 they merged once again with the fire department. That doesn't mean all the early lifeguards are similarly forgotten. After all, this is a beach town. Al Irwin, a retired lifeguard who lives in Newport Beach, remem- bers one in particular. Blan- chard Beatt was hired in 1925 as one of the city's first paid lifeguards. He earned about $100 a month and worked for eight years One noteworthy develop- ment for Newport Beac,h lifeguards, reported in a department history titled Newport Beach's first Weguard, Prank Sh arps, ls Ju.st a llWe boy in this family portrait taken in 1888.

She spends weeks .Qn the phone and the Internet finding out what to get, where to get it and bow to do it. The level of research she puts into cabi- net knobs is a little less than what goes on at the biologi- cal sdence lab al the Califor- nia Institute of Technology. Where do I fit Jn? Simple. At ~Y. phase of these ordeals, my contribution is zero, zip, nada, niente. nil - and for dam good reason. Cabinet knobs? Left to my own deYiA;:.es, I would make ooe trip to HCllbe Depot. It takes me 15 mln\1181 to ftDd them beC4Ul8 rd die before I'd ask someone Where~ are, When I do find them, I am alteedy in an agitated state, but it doesn't take me tong at all to make my seJectlDn, beca~ my design attena ue extremely limited. u it looks Jtalian, J'll buy tt. 1f it doesn't, I won't. So if you send me out to find cobinet knobs, you get the little gold lion head with the ring through the nose. Period. That's it. End of stoJy. 1 don't core if it's knobs, wallpaper or furniture. U it's. got the gold lion head with the rings on it, I'll take it. My wife gets her design ideas from Architectural Digest, I get mine from MThe Sopra- nos.• I still think rain lamps didn't get a fair hearing. And that, in a nutshell, is why my opinions are never solicited nor considered when it comes to these things, which I am the first to admit is a good thing. At the end of the day, our home improvem.ent adven- tures are no different or bet- ter or worse than anyone else's. What starts small quickly grows large. Every- thing you do requires some- thing else be done before the first can be completed. Dou- ble the budget, expand the schedule by a factor of four and you'll be close. No one shows up when they're supposed to, and that's if they show up at all. Stepping over boxes and try- ing to find the spatula is fun for a day or two, but little did you realize you'd be doing it for months. And the dust! My God, the dust. Ta.ke my advice. The day before they start, get a large bag of Gold Bond flour, tear it open and spin it over your head until it's emp- ty. Repeat in every room. You may as well get a head start. Don't try to clean anything until they're gone. You're kidding yourself. But like childbirth and crashes, if you survive, your mind will erase the bad stuff. It's the cycle of life.

The pool is rec- tangular and the separate spa is positioned next to a water trough, which is lit underneath for dramatic impact. Three overflowing Grecian urns feed the trough. The impact is very dramatic and the delicate sound of water trickling down the sides of the urns creates a lovely background noise. The back wall, which once had two different kinds of exposed concrete blocks, has been brown-coated and painted a surprising shade of purple, an exciting contrast to the warm earth tones that were used for the backyard planters and bardscape. The double-sided fireplace accommodates both the spa and a lowered conversation/ dining area.

But that's just bow com- fortable members of the 52- year-old Bay Oub feel here. That routine will soon experience a little bump when the Bay Oub doses its kitchen and spa to prepare for the opening of the new clubhouse Oct. 2. The old clubhouse will be demolished soon after the opening. Nostalgia is building as the Bay Club nears the final Sunday brunch in its old space. and longtime mem- bers are digging up their favorite Bay Club memories. •I think it's very much a part of Newport Beach,• owner Beverly Ray said. "Part of the lifestyle of this area, casual and the perenni- al summer time.· REMEMBER WHEN? The memories go way back to when two gentlemen named Tom Henderson and Hadd Rigg bought 26.58 acres of waterlront property in 1946 that had been used, until then, as a naval dump- ing ground for equipmept. Previously, the land was part of the Santa Ana Army Air base, where service men came to lounge. Ken Kendall, a Newport Beach resident, bought part of the property from Rigg and came up with the idea to build a private beach club in 1948. The faces that have hung out there since make up an all-star list. John Wayne was a regular and eventually a gov- ernor of the club. He lived next door and walked in wPdQQ l>Oft denim shirts and sJa1:b'for hJ5 tequila at the bar. He often anchored his boat at the opposite side of Udo Isle because it was too big for the Bay Oub.

Humphrey Bogart lounged at the club, so did Lauren Bacall. Greta Garbo visited, Jack Benny did too, and Andy Devine, William Hold· en, Bing Crosby, Bob Hope and Walter Matthau added to the star-studded reputation of the waterfront hangout. Politicians including for- mer Arizona Sen. Barry Goldwater and Richard Nixon joined the mix too.

"But in the last 10 years, the hall of fame has been Just canceled,• said Salata, also a governor at the dub. "It just got cumbersome. Manage- ment thought it was more trouble that it was worth.· IOYS WILL II IOYS Today, the Bay Oub's membership is about 3,000. When the club first opened in 1948, it's said that officials used to stand on the highway and give away free hot dogs to elicit people to join. Mem- bership then was about $50. Today, the one-time initiation fee is $7 ,500 for a family (doesn't matter what size}, $2,000 for a junior and $4,500 for a single person. This ism addition to monthly dues, which are $150 a month for families. In the '50s and '60s, the dientele was more intimate and exclusive. Newport Beach's population was tighter and all the kids who gmw up at the club got to know each other like family. But since the 70s, the city has grown with newcomers and so has the membership.

Don't change a thing, some pleaded. U you do have to change a thing, shorten the nights. others requested. Those living at specific points along the route argued that their por- tions of the route should remain. After all, the annual · holiday ~~ must continue. At the end of August, after ·much debate, the Newport Har- bor Chamber of Commerce announced that changes will be made. Just not this year. Starting in 2002, the parade will be shortened from seven to five days, with Monday and Tuesday cut because they are the least-attended nights. To speed the parade \ip, the route will be shortened. Por- tions through the western edge of the channel between Lido Island a,nd Lido Peninsula and to the mitrance of the harbor will be eliminated to cut about 30 minutes. While we were surprised that the Newport HArbo.r Area Chamber of Commerce was even considering making changes to the long-standing tradition, we support those that were made in the parade's best interest. · Though the changes won't please everyone, they are prob- ably the best compromise that the chamber could have reached. To its credit, the cham- ber first ·surveyed residents and businesses around the harbor before making the changes. The changes will help JnAke sure that all the boaters who start the parade end ll That way, it will maintain its charm throughout the five evenings at every point along the route. At the same time, all the visi- tors who stop into town to check out the event the New York Times has hailed as one of the nation's top 10 yuletide affairs will be able to enjoy it in all its glory, without disappoint- ment. And it's these tourists who help fuel the area's winter economy. So while the changes will leave some a bit disappointed, just know that they weren't made without thought, but were made with everyone's best interests considered. And if some still think the changes aren't all that neces- sary, prove it. Make this year's parade the best ever, each and every one ot the seven nights throughout the entire route. Who knows? The changes may not be set in stone, after all. THE LIST WORD Cities simply not fitting their bills I t's always heartwarming to see crime statistics when they spiral downward, whether slightly or greatly. After all, that's the right way for them to go. But when they were released by the California Department of Justice last month, they caught us ol( guard. At first glance, they just didn't look right. What do you think? Straight out of the Aug. 29 Pilot: •"New- port Beach saw a 9.3% increase in crime last year compared with 1999, while Costa Mesa enjoyed a 4.4% decline." Huh 1 Could it be that the stereotypes that grip the two cities are wrong? Can it be that the Oty of the Arts, the Hub of the Harbor or the City of Mile. that is Costa Mesa ts becoming the safer of the two? Well, not necessarily. Though the latest statistics are wonder- ful for Cost.a Mesa, Newport Beach has done its job. In fact, the biggest increase came in the form of thefts, where the city experienced a 13% increase. Officials say cell phone thefts are the single fac- tor to blame for the overall increase in crime (which means forget our applause last week for the mobile phone). In Costa Mesa, meanwhile, a 21 % increase in auto thefts wreaked havoc. So, it just goes to show you that stereotypes are just that, and not everyone, nor every city, lives up to stereo~. Heck. it might even be sate to walk in Los Ange)aS alle)'I these days.

Tony Altobelli 0AILV PILOT H e may be s tepping down from his post, but now-former Costa Mesa American Llttle League President Pat McGuire will be remembered in the local youth baseball circles for quite some time. "It's been great, but it's time to move on,• McGuire said. "I've been doing this for-e·wbile know and it'f time for the next group of parents to get involved. That's bow the program will continue to grow and dowisb, with the help of more parents." McGuire, a fixture m the CMAll program for nearly a decade remembers when the CWTeDt Majors Division, Minor A and Minor B fields were just a vision. "Where the field is now (behind the tennis courts at Costa Mesa High) was nothing but horse fields,• McGuire said. "It was just an extended area of the farm area. We played on the current high school field area, which was small and crowded.

McGuire said.• As he grew, I went up the coaching ladder with him, to the Majors Division.• At that level, McG\Ure coached three CMALL All-Star teams in the first three Mayor's Cup tournaments with the Costa Mesa National Uttle League, winning two out of three years. •District 62 split up our league into a National Uttle League and an American Llttle League in 1995, • McGuire sai<l. •1nstead or just playing against our own teams, we started playing interleague contests, which really helps keep both organlz4tions thriving. Otherwise, playing the same teams over and over ·again would have bored us to death.• Unfortunately, according to McGuire, the division ~ thinned out the quality of All-Star teams in Costa Mesa, which can be a major problem when the Tournament of Champions and the DiStrlct 62 Tournament gets underway. ·we try to keep the teams balanced, but that spreads out our talent pretty thin,• McGuire said. •For us to be as successful as possible, we should bring the two leagues back together again.• After coaching, McGuire became chief umpire for three yea.rs before taking over for Kirk Bauermeister as league president. •J<irk bas done such a tremendous job with bringing youth sports up to the level where i1 now is,• McGuire said. "Now at Costa Mesa High, he's doing the same thing again. Instead of losing all of the athletes to CdM or Newport or Estancia, kids are coming to Mesa and a lot of the credit belongs to Kirk.• As CMALL President, McGuire helped create the Mayor's Cup, now in it's fifth year of existence, as well as bringing last year's Tournament of Champions to Costa Mesa for the first time ever. "Having the TOC in our backyard was a real feather in our cap.• McGuire said. "People like Angie Rodriguez and Amy Stevens had a lot to do with the success of that event. as well as all the field maintenance guys and the otl\er parents and volunteers involved. It was really something sped.al.• Now, out of the CMALL limelight, McGuire has passed the reins to Erik Kough. ·Tue new group of active parents all have young kids in the program, so they will be here for a while to keep this whole thing going,• McGuire said. "Erik will bring a lot to the league and he'll go a great job.• So what is the key to continued success for CMALU According to McGuire, the answer is simple. "Get more of. the parents involved,• he said. ·u there's 300 kids in the league and let's say even half come from broken homes, that means there are 450 parents in our league. Usually, it's always the same 12 of 13 heavily active parents doing everything, with the exception of the coaches. U we can get more parents involved, it would make this program that much stronger.· After years of working for as a public relations specialist for Lincoln Mercury, McGuire is now looking to open an office involving senior citizen assisted living. ·n·s an opportunity to help people with non-medical related issues with assisted living,• McGuire said.
