So on Sunday, Foss joined an
estimated 4,000 walkers at UC

hopes of finding a cure for a dis-
ease that aftllcts 16 million
Americans. A simultaneous
walk also took place at Craig
Regional Park in Fullerton.
The 44-yea.r-old Woodland
Hills resident drove to lrvine
Sunday to support finding a

mother and father, Orlene and
Pete Foss of Newport Beach,
who have been on the founda-
tion's walk committee for four
years.
·My mom is so involved. She
enjoys doing it so much,"
Robert Foss said, as he looked
through his glasses at the walk-

seeping into the ocean off Little
Corona Beach.
The pump system was installed at
a cost of about $35,000. It will suck
about 11 2 gallons per minute out of

Contrary to CoastKeeper's visible
head, Garry Brown, Seton spends his
time mostly behind the scenes on the
group's projects,
Seton, a 40-year resident of Bal-
boa Island, developed a stewardly
attitude toward nature when he
served in the Coast Guard during the
1970s.
·That's what made me realize that
the ocean needs management.•
Seton said. •it's like tending a gar-
den.~
The 50-year-<>ld is also actively
involved in CoastKeeper's efforts to
reforest the ocean floors at Little
Corona and Crystal Cove with kelp
farms. Every month, the group plants
seedlings using scuba divers.
One of the reasons Seton spends
so much time on environmentaJ
activism, he says, is because he uses
the water so much himself as a
surfer, diver and fisherman.

better than giving blood.•

A heartwarming ·
reminder of the past
.A hoy. A heartwarming lun-
cheon was held
ThW'Sday at the Lldo Yacht
Expo honoring the survivors
of the U.S.S. Indianapolis,
which was sunk by Japanese
submarine just days before
the end of. World WaI Il. As
we enter the war on terror-
ism, it was overwhelming to
hear what these men
endured as part of their duty
to the U.S. back in World
WM n. The Indianapolis was
a ship that was on a lop-
secrel mission to deliver the
key components of the first
atom bomb that ended the
war. The ship was on its final
voyage from Guam to Leyte
in the Philippines in 1945
when disaster struck in the
form of two torpedoes.
Not having a destroyer
esa:>rt. the Indianapolis was hit
by the two torpedoes
launched by the Japanese sub
1-58 on July 30. The ship sunk
in about 12 minutes. Of the
1,196 aboard, only 317 sur-
vtved the shark-infested
waters and the attack from the
torpedoes. and the ship was
never declared missing until
spotted by a Navy aircraft four
days later in the ocean. There
are only ·a. small number of
survivors Still alive, as most
would be in their 70s and 80s.
The ones who were able to
attend this special ceremony
were presented awards from
the Newport Navy League, of
which I 4Dl a proud member.
These were the men who
told us of their ordeal and
bow some held onto orange
crates until rescue. Jacob .
Greenwald, Vetne Foster, Lyle
Unemhoffer, William Quealy,
Verlin Fortin, Salvador Mal-
donado, Harold Bray, Ed
Brown. John White and Joe
Klaus were able to attend the
luncheon. They talked about
what occurred and how some
continued with military ser-
vice and how others went on
with their civilian lives upon
returning home.
As a side note, the ship's
captain, Charles McVay ill,
was cowt-martialed for haz-
ard to the ship by failing to
zigzag. McVay was exoner-
ated in July for the sinking of
the Indianapolis and the lives
of those who perished in the
incident.
• • •
Octpber is here, which
signifies the start of local lob-
ster season and soon the end
of the hurricane season. As a
result, boater insurance rates
decease lo travel south of the
border.
First, I cannot wait to taste
the local lobster off our coast-
line ag4ln. and from what I
have heard from my sources,
this should be a good year.
Now, if you lobster fishermen
know otherwise, please let
.me know bow your season is
prognisling with your catch-
es this year compared with
those over the last few yea.rs .
Mike Whitehead
THE HARBOR COLUMN
Plus, let me know how the
taste compares.
Just south of us along Baja
California is Hurricane Juli-
ette, which has sustained
winds near 75 mph (120
km/hr). It's experiencing
higher gusts, causing severe
flooding and will be causing
swells in our area, plus an
alert for those of you who
will be traveling south. By
the time you read this col-
umn, hopefully Juliette will
have weakened to a tropicaJ
storm, but that still is a prob-
lem for boating. I will be off
our coast all day today, and I
hope that the effects will not
cause me lo wear a kidney
belt from the pounding.
• • •
On a final note, l hope
that the U.S. government,
specifically Congress, does
not overlook the maritime
loss of jobs when it plans to
help the airline industry with
relief funds. The boating
industry has been deeply
affected by the current eco-
nomic downturn. It reminds
me of how the luxury tax on
yachts crippled and dosed
boating manufactures and
brokers in the past. U relief
funding is available, how do
we get the help to th06e most
in need like the captains,
crew, dealers, cooks and the
like who have to make their
rent or mortgage payments?
• • •
Tip for the week: Have
you checked your zinc for
electrolysis and hot spots?
The zincs are the sacrificial
anodes that will help slow
down -not prevent -elec-
trolysis aboard your boat.
Make sure the zinc is still in
a usefulness stage, and that
all bonding and grounding
wires are properly attAched
to make a good electrical
conduction throughout the
boat. Too many times, I have
noticed the effects of elec-
trolysis and have found a
bad zinc, or a bad oonnec-
tion, or no connection at all.
It is your money, pay now or
pay later, but also help to
protect the environment as a
bonus.
Safe voyages.

per to a number that now .
hovers near 50% or even less.
Many of you may have
your reasons why readership
has declined. But I can't help
but wonder if it's because we
don't do enough entertaining
as we bring our readers the
news.
My forebears here at the
Daily Pilot recognized that
deficiency in newspapers
and embarked on creative
ways to shake us out of that
dull grayness that can over-
take newspapers.
The 103 list is a perfect
illustration of that arid a way ·
for us to tell our readers that
we don't take ourselves too
seriously all of the time. That
doesn't mean we don't rec-
ognize our role and responsi-
bility as this community's
hometown paper. Which
brings me back to the whole
point about Dennis Rodman.
Whether we like it or not,
the people ol Newport Beach,
West Newport in particular,
have as one of their neighbors
the Bad Boy of basketball.
Rod.man is by all accounts a
world-class celebrity who
makes news just about every-
where he goes.
It would be irresponsible
MEXICAN RE~lAURANl
for this newspaper to both
ignore that fact and ignore
him -especially when he
does things like land a heli-
copter on the beach.outside
his home or get into verbal
jousting matches with Mayor
Gary Adams at City Hall.
So as we implore each
year, take the 103 list for
what it is, one part specula-
tion, one part, admiration,
one part presumption and
one part entertainment, and
do your best to just enjoy it.

Kerns, the Newport Harbor
High football team's -offense
showed impressive versatility
in Friday night's 41 -14

Kerns, ll 5-foot-11, 160-

oft, place-kida and mums punts and kickofts for
the Saikn {3-0-t), ranked No. 7 in Orange County

He did all of the above against the Dolphins,
posting touchdown receptions c117 and 15 yards,
kicking fiekl gom m 30 and 26 yards, and making
two conversion ldckl en route to smrlng 21 points.
He finished with three catches for 55 yards.
In ad<Ution, Kerns played solidly on defense,
both against the run and the pass, blocked well
on offense, put three kickoffs into the end zone for
touchbacks and averaged 33 yards on five punts,
including three inside the Dana Hills 20-yard
line. He also mat Oawless fair catches of two
Dolphin punts. kickoffs that did not reach

"We've certainly proved we are by no means
one-dimensional with our attack offensively,•
Brinkley said. "Teams are going to have to defend

Brinkley, the Tars' offensive coordinator,
expected Dana Hills to focus more defensive
attention on stopping the run. He was prepared
to let seruor quarterback Morgan Craig take the
the a.tr to comphment Junior tailback Dartangan
Johnson. ,
"We'd been runrung it so effectively and
(Johnson) had been churning out yards on the

think (the Dolphins) would sit there and let us
pound it at them.· Bnnkley said. •t figured they'd
blitz and pack some extra bodies in the box and
they did. I anticipated Craig having a good game.•
Craig completed 10 of 17 fQ1 115 yards by

At 2-2, the Orange Coast Pirates prepare for their final game
of nonconference action with a load of challenges in store.
Steve Virgen
DAILY PILOT
COSTA MESA -
With each of its two
losses this season the
Orange Coast
College football team
bas been presented
with a challenge. 1be ICOlllOlll
Pirates' first loss
came against Los .: SAC 24
Angeles Harbor, ar.,.. eo..t 16
when they
surrendered five turnovers and
succumbed to the Seahawks' passing
game. The following week, OCC, with
injuries to two of its defensive
standouts, Dan Stringer and Marvin
Simmons, traveled to El Camino and
answered the call with a 14-10 come-
from-behind win, that apparently
energized the team.
But, another injury came against
Mt. Antonio Saturday, as Bucs'
linebacker 1Tavis Loidolt injured his
antertor cructate ligament and OCC
lost 24-16. And, so OCC is left with an
even bigger challenge from its last loss.
Enter Pasadena City, the team that is
coming to LeBard Stadium Saturday. A
team. like Mt. SAC, that is seeking
revenge, as OCC stunned the Lancers
with a 29-27 thrilling victory at
Pasadena last year.
Meanwhile, the Bucs are wondering
if they are going to win in their stadium
this season.
"There were a lot of mental mistakes
(Satllrday), • said OCC wide receiver
Jon Jackson, wbo recovered an onside
kick with 1 :35 remaining Saturday.
"Everyone thought we were going to
take it down and score, but that didn't
work out how we planned it.•
After catching eight passes for 122
JAYCE.E
CONTINUED FROM 5
yards, OCC sophomore Vince Strang
was held without a catch against the
Mounties, seemtr>gJy another challenge
is presented for the 5-foot-8, 155-pound
receiver.
However, a bright spot for the Bucs
came from their running game and
talented offensive line, which bas had
great expectations since the preseason.
OCC fJesbman running back Niles
Mittascb ran for 98 yards and one
touchdown on 16 carries, and fullback
Anthony Campo, who broke off runs of
25 and 11, kept the Mounties off
balance with his 41 yards on four
carries. Campo, a returning sophomore,
also scored a 3-yard touchdown when
he grabbed the scoring toss from
quarterback Nick Higgs, cutting the
deficit to 24-16.
The defense, however, is an entirely
different story. With Loidolt's injury the
Bucs' displayed their weakness against
the run. Since Simmons' arrival, OCC
bad been believing a repeat as Mission
Conference Central Division champ-
ions and a bowl game Victory was
within reach.
But Simmons is out with an
abdominal strain and his status for this
season, perhaps a medical redshirt,
will be determined this week. .
Even though sophomore Clay Busch
left the Bua when h0 realized he would
be in a dimi.nlshed role than what he
expected, OCC remained confident in
SiJnmans and Loidolt, but both could be
possibly out for the season. And, now
the Lancers are coming Saturday.
•we lost a guy that is one of the
leaden of our group,· OCC Coach
Mike "Illylor said of Loidolt. •There are
no excuses (Saturday). We lost to a
good feam. We gave them a good game
and we gave everyone an entertaining
game to watch.• .

COSTA MESA-The Estanda High football
team's ability to hang with nonleague host
Santa Ana Valley Saturday night began with
the Eagles' ability to hang on --to the ball.
After fumbling 11 times the previous game,
15 times in their first two contests this year,
Eagle ball carrlera failed to cough it up once against the Falcons,
who won, 27-24, at the Santa Ana Bowl.
Combined with junior quarterback Lewis Bradshaw third straight
game without an int.en:eptioo. ~Eagles woo the turnover battle, 5-0.
Interceptions by Mitch Valdes, Lewis Bradshaw, N'ic Koree?at and
Ryan Grimes, a fumble recovery by Landon Pullizi. as well as 14
Falcon penalties for 128 yards, helped the Eagles make a bid for the
victory.
Prolific passing pickups of 57 and 40 yards by senior speed
receiver Nate Harriman, as well as a 32-yard touchdown run by
Junior Tanielu, helped keep the Eagles ln the bunt
But poor execution on conversions -two point-after kicks failed,
as did a pair of two-point run attempts -wound up being the
difference between victory and defeat.
•our No. 1 snapper is a little dinged up. so we went with
someone else," Estancia Coach Jay Noonan sald of the PAT
struggles. •And our kickers are taking too long. We're going to have
to fix that this week.•
Missing coovenrions bas been a problem all year, as Estancia has
converted just one of its eight tries (1 for S on kicks).
lronlcally, another contributing factor to what Noonan called the
team's best performance of the season. was Noonan's decision to boot
the entire team out of practice Tuesday.
"Some kids were picking on a couple of kids and one of (the latter)
got upset about it,• Noonan said of the incident. which brought a
quick end to Tuesday's practice.
"I bad had enough, so I canceled practice. I told them to grow
up and come back (Wednesday), or don't come back at all. They all
came back. It was a lesson in learning how to be mature.•
Noonan said the emotional week intemrified Saturday, when word
came that former Estancia player Matt Colby, who transferred to
Costa Mesa for his senior year, had died of injuries sustained in the
Mustangs' game with Ocean View Friday.
•0ur kids were sad, very bummed,• Noonan said of his players'
emotional state before Satwday's game. "But I think it was good for
them to have the outlet of playing a game. I thought they all kept
their focus very well.•
Noonan and his staff, which prepares to conclude its preledgue
schedule Friday against Orange (1-3), will continue to focus on
improvement as the program's primary goal.
"I was really proud ol the way we played (Saturday) and thought
we improved 100% from our first two games,• Noonan said. "To go
from fumbling 11 times to earning a 5-0 edge in turnovers is
obviously a huge difference. We had a chance to win in the fourth
quarter.•
The Eagles stayed with Valley by making big plays in the
passing game. as well as what Noonan termed "nickel and diming"
on the ground.
Noonan said his players were encouraged by the effort.
"It was our best game of the year, but we still have miles to go.•

plagued by injuries.
"I told him lo pregame it was
time for him to break out,·
Brinkley said of Vandersloot,
who caught two passes for 21
yards and bad an interception
against the Dolphins.
Senior offensive guard Ben
Prince, who started the season
opener but missed the next two
games with a back injury, also
returned to action as a backup,
Brinkley said.
Brinkley anticipates more
good news on the injury front as
the Sallors prepare to conclude
their preleague campaign
against Millikan (1-3) Thursday
at home. He said junior offensive
lineman A.J . Slater, out all
season with a back injury,
should be deared to practice
this week.
DEEP SEA
Self esteem-bllilder
Sea Kings don't apologize for taking advantage of Saddleback q.Usfodml
larTy~
DAllY Pl.or
CORONA DEL MAR-As
its injury list proliferates,
leaving sidelined athletes on
crutches, ln casts, and even
confined to a wheelchair, lt
shouldn't be surprising that
the Corona del Mar High
football team doesn't muster much sympathy for
an opponent's misfortune.
So it was Thursday night at the Santa Ana
Bowl, when the Sea Kings pounced on five
Saddleback turnovers, as well as two punt snap
snafus and a stop on fourth-and-four, lo earn a 45-
21 nonleague triumph.
·we took advantage of their rrustakes, and
they made a lot,• CdM Coach Dick Freeman said.
•That's the only reason we won the game. If they
didn't make so many mistakes, they'd have been
in the ballgame all the way."
The opportunism was immediate for CdM,
which drove 54 yards on eight plays with opening
kickoff.
On the ensuing serles, a lugh punt snap helped
set the CdM offense back up at the Saddleback 26.
Saddleback's next possession produced a low
punt snap, which gave CdM possession at the
Roadrunners' 29.
Both miscues led to touchdowns and a 21-0
deficit from which the hosts never recovered.
Saddleback, however, produced 14 points on
two turnover-free drives before halftime,
prompting the CdM secondary to get a little
protective of the lead m the second half.
Comerback Steven Ward intercepted at his
own 38 to halt Saddleback's first third-quarter
possession and set up a CdM touchdown.
Kris Cooper, Jonathan Hubbard and Keith
Long added second-half lnt.erceptiom fGr ~
Cooper returned bis 64 yards fot a toiw:.ht' •D,
while 11nebacker D•ve Simon's 26-yard ,__....
return led to yet another TD.
Sbt times Saddlebeck drove into CdM.....,
in the second half without scoring, J.ndudlag ODt
march to the Sea Kings' 11 and another to Ille 23.
In addition to the aforementioned~
Freeman credited junior loside Un.ebacks r-.-
Cooper and senlor tackle Jayson Skalla 1o1'
providing formidable opposition to a Saddl 1>nO
offe.nse that just kept coming.
Matt Cooper was in on 20 tacltl... •
Saddleback's oo-huddle scheme helped It Jlloduat
an eye-popping 85 offensive plays.
Freeman remains concerned about bis cW&-.
but believes a shift from a four-three to a four~
five scheme has created some adjustment
problems.
"It doesn't help that dt some positions, we'ft
had a different guy each week,• said Freeman,
who suited only 29 players Thursday. •But we"te
getting better and we're going to have to Jmep
improving.·
CdM injury woes, wtuch did not worsen eglllllll
the Road.runners, have prompted some unmuAI
deployment of personnel, andudiog 6-foot-3, 26S-
pound offensive tackle Steven Russell playing
two plays at fullback.
Freeman said his coaching staff may have to
continue to seek creative solutions to its depleted
depth chart. ·we were training linebacker.; on t.be sideHne, •
Freeman quipped
The victory, however, the team's first in lhiee
weeks, should help the Sea Kings (2-1-1) re-
energize as they approach their final Pacific Coast
League tuneup, a road date Friday against
Westminster (1-3), Freeman said.
MUSTANGS EYE THIBD PI.ACE HIGH SCHOOL
GIRLS VOl.lEYIAll
PREVIEW
COSTA l'v1ESA -One of the first questions the Costa Mesa High
girls volleyball team asked its new coach was, will you be our
coach next year?
Well, after less than a month since being hired, Allison Salladin
IS excited to stay on board because she has so much vibrant youth
to work with.
Salladin, a 26-year-old walk-on coach, is developing her young
team and lt has started the season with a 1-4 record as the Mustangs
prepare for their Pacific Coast League opener at Northwood,
Tuesday at 3:15 p.m. ·rm really excited,· Salladin said of the future. ·1 don't have any
seniors. I have a lot of young talent. I want to develop play that we
can carry on to next year and have them grow with team spirit and
carry that onto next season. I'd like to be competitive and b.n.ish third
place in league.•
The Mustangs earned their first victory of the season Wednesday.
when junior middle blocker Sharon Day, the team's captain, led Mesa
with 14 kills in a four-game victory aver Saddleback.
"She's by far my hardest hitter and most consistent player,"
Salladin sald of Day. •Absolutely competitive She's my best
blocker.•
