Marina Village fear they're about to
5ee a nuisance of a nightclub return

The Newport Fish Co. restaurant
has applied to the city to change its

to those who live nearby.

it," said Ed Eaton, a 12-year resident
of the area. "The kids come here to
park, their music is cranked up, they
have parties where they leave their
beer bottles. . . . Neighbors here
aren't going to live with that again.•
But there is even more to it than
that, said City Councilman Tod
Ridgeway.
·The real question here is: Do
they want a restaurant with an
ancillary use of some dancing or is it
really a nightclub?" he said.
The question could prove pivotal.

COSTA MESA -Council mem-
bers will test last week's decision to
push up meeting times by an hour
and implement a mandatory midnight
curfew tonight at their first meeting
regarding the Home Ranch project.
The City Counal voted to change
the meeting structure in order to
accommodate more public testimony.
In addition, discuss1on of the contro-
versial Home Ranch development will
be moved to the end of the meeting m
order to get other city business
accomplished in a timely fashion, offi-
cials said.

lasting as late as 3 a.m.
"The council will be sure they are
fair with the Home Ranch project as

added.

A 62-foot sloop with an impres-

and built by John Spenser.
Her narrow beam, deep draft and
plywood construction was a radical
departure from conventional yachts
being built at that time.
ln 1970, after a very successful
racing record in New Zealand, Jack
Hall of the Newport Harbor Yacht
Club purchased Infidel. He changed
her name to Ragtime and brought
her to Newport Harbor, where she
was home ported until 1979.

She also bas raced in several New-

When I was a kid,
my parents always
took us to Little Corona
State Beach, and 1n those
days you had to get there
early for a parking spot that
wu not miles away.
One observation that
always stuck in my mbld
was that back in the '60s,
you had to jump over a
noticeable, gross drainage
s~ coming from the
canyon to the ocean.
Finally, 30 yea.rs later, a
diversion system is being
1nstalled to divert the runoff
from the beach and better
the water quality.
I find it interesting that
we can divert that runoff.
but every day millions of
gallons pour into the harbor
from the storm drains and
the miles of drains emptying
into the Back Bay.
AB I walk my oldest
daughter to Mariner's Ele-

see a storm drain on Cabrll-
lo Street near Irvine Avenue
that is full of refuse waiting
for the next rain storm to
wash all the contents into

What is the answer?
Since security is present at
the harbor entrance anyway,
why not let boaten chack in

Or, bow about opening
up a section of the jetty so
that a boater does not have

The council will make the final
decision tonight to limit the num~
ber of dogs per person at the Bark
Park to four.
At the Oct. 1 meeting, council
members approved a tentative
limit of four dogs per person for
users of Bark Park, located off
Newport Boulevard.
Following residents' and Bark
Park users' complaints about unsu-
pervised dogs, the dty sought to
limit the number of dogs a person
could bring to the park. Park users
alleged certain individuals, includ-
ing employees of local dog-walk-
ing agencies, were bringing up to
20 dogs to the park at a time, said
William Morris, director of public
services.
The reason for the limitation
was to ensure dogs at the park
have proper supervision, said Don-
na Theriault of the Public Services
Department. If the ratio of dogs
to people is unbalanced, dogs
have more tendency to dig up the
grass, run wild or become more
aggressive with other dogs, he
said. Bark Park was closed in the
summer of 2000 to allow the city
to add parking and walkways to

The Public Services Department
decided on a four-dog limit
because it falls in line w ith the
city's existing four-animal limita-
tion per household, Theriault said.
Irvine and Huntington Beach each

fills Bren MONDAY MORNING .:-·--.--·
.Center
School spirit is high
as UC Irvine basketball
seasons approach.
Remember those days, when
everyone ln the whole school
piled into the gym for a pep
rally and the cheerleaders came out
and tl!e band played. Everyone sang
the alma mater and all the athletes
jogged single file into the building
with their team unifonns oo.
For those who haven't been to a
pep rally lately, some things have
changed. And for those who are in
high school now, the ones in college
get better.
On Friday "Midnight Magic" was
held in the Bren Events Center at UC
Irvine. The annual event kicks off the
men's and women's basketball
seasons. Both teams began practice
during the weekend.
Some of the traditional pep rally
stuff took place at this event, which
was free of charge.
The cheerleaders came out. There
was really loud music playing. People
chanted, "Go 'Eaters!" Sounds pretty
traditional, right. But at the stroke of
midnight, things started to get
tecbnical.
It was like operung night at a
hockey game or something. The
Amen Aguilar
COWGES
building went
dark. Sparks of
bght flashed
through the air.
There was a big
screen. Even that
mysterious thick
smoke shot up
from the ground,
like at a concert.
Theo. now this
was really cool,
they played
high.lights from
last season on the
big screen to get
everyone pumped up. The screen
showed the men's basketball team
winning the Big West Conference title
and people stonning the court.
Next. players were Introduced. But
the announcer didn't just say their
names and have the team come out.
The players.said a few short words on
the big screen and then jogged out. It
made things a little more personal.
After that. the games began.
Following all of the introductions,
there were two contests: Battle of the
sexes and the slam dunk contest.
In battle of the sexes, five players
from the men's basketball team
attempted three-pointers against five
players from the women's team. Each
player bad to shoot under a ti.me limit,
with each shot made earning a point.
In the fourth round, Erin Tomlinson
of the women's squad helped tie the
score, is.25.
The men sent up Adam Parada to

The races, which Oxley
spoke of, featured a huge

Monrovia's Josh Larsen,

because the underdog Chris
Manchester won the
national championship.
Manchester. who took
third in two races before
winning the last two, was
at a disadvantage in the
final. Positioned in the No. 5
slot. he had to take the
outside lane. But he found
glory.
"It's just unbelievable,"

Larsen. "I think (the

$5,000 in prize money, Oxley
said. "It's more about
bragging rights than
anything. The winner
receives the sponsors for the
next year and that's where
the real money comes in."
The sudden-death final

So. by the thne Dlck Ferryman
wu ready for Costa Mesa High
sports, be instantly landed OD the
football field, and. during the
winter, on wrestling mats.
"I didn't want to (wrestle}, but
my brothers (Jim and Pat) threw
me in the wrestling room and
made me stay in there,• said Dick
Ferryman, the Mustangs' Athlete
of the Year in 1969-70 as a football,
wrestling and track and fie1d
standout.
Ferryman. who threw
the d1scus and shot put
in the spring "just to
keep busy,• was an
All-Irvine League,
All-Orange Coast area
and All·Orange CountY
linebacker, as well as 1
the MusWigs' staJ14lg
center on offense, in the
fall of '69.
•I ltarted playing
football, just like my
innocent of times in what was then
Newport-Mesa Pop Warner·
(now Junior All-American).
•Al Dies was our coach, and he
was one of my better coaches. as
far as the teaching aspects and all
that.• Perryman said. ·1 think all
the kids respected bim. I still
remember him and it's been 30-35
years. I always remember him as
one of my favorite coaches. I still
see him every once in awhile.·
Many of Ferryman's Pop
Warner teammates, like Bob and
Sleepy Tripp. played high school
football at Newport Harbor.
But Pe.rryman was also strong in
wrestling, dropping weight each
season to compete in the
157-pound division.
·we bad a good wrestling team
back then under (Coach) John
Sweazy.• said Ferryman. who won
two tournaments and

Shackleford, under whom
Fenyman ea.med AD-South Coast
Conference honors as a sophomore
linebacker in the fall of '72
(Ferryman sat out one season
before playing for the ~ustlers in
1971-72).
Ferryman. who dislocated an
elbow bis freshman y~ and
• missed almost half of tile season,
was a 6--foot, 190-pounder at
Golden West, two inches taller and
about 10 pounds more than when
he played at Costa Mesa. "Now,
I'm just going out instead of up,•
he quipped.
The Mustangs Jost more than
they won in the autumns of 1968
and '69 under two different head
coecbes (Neil Peek and ~
Miller), but the Rustlers enj(jfed
winn1ng campaigns (15-6 in two
years) during the Perryman era.
Still, perhaps Ferryman's
favorite seasons were the most
stronger.
"These guys are 6-4, 2-40
pounds and running 4.6 40s. We
never even heard of that back
then,• be said. ·A couple of years
ago I think (the Mustangs') line
averaged 240 pounds or
something. Our line averaged
probably 180. What a jump.•
One year out of high school,
Ferryman was attending classes
at Golden West but not playing
football. The Rustlers' defensive
coordinator Don Rowe, also a
former major league pitching
coach, bumped into FerryJDan
and convinced him to return.
·we had fun at Golden West,•
Ferryman laid. ·we bad some
good players. It was a pretty tight
group.•
