DAILY PILOT
SANTA ANA -After much
delay, county supervisots on Tues-
day approved an airport for the
closed El Toro Marine Corps Air Sta-
tion that could partially return the
base to the military.
The decision to certify the pro-
ject's environmental report on ~
day came after almost two months ~
procedural delays that ope.nly frus.
trated some Newport Beach oftidals.
SUpervisor Jim Silva, who repre-
sents Newport-Mesa, said the air-
port should be operated as a "joint-
use fadlity, • which would allow the
military to use the base as a staging
ground for the first time since the
Marines pulled up stakes in 1998. •u I could do anything with that
facility, I would give it back to the
Marines,• Silva said. "We need to
preserve our military air base infra-
structure if needed for a national
emergency."
In approving an airport that could
handle tas million annual passen-
gers by 2010, board members said
the nation's war against terrorism
led them to reconsider the future use
of the base. The board voted in its
familiar 3-2 pattern.
South County airport opponents
said they weren't surprised by the
action and promised to slug it out in
court against a county they said failed
to adequately address their ooncems.
The board certified the environ-
mental analysis of the airport after a
marathon meeting that droned on
for almost nine hours.
"You knew, waking up this mom-
ing, that this was going to happen,"
said Lake Forest Coundlman Peter
Herzog after the decision. •There's so
many problems with the [report] that
it will be litigated and 9Verturned. •
No officials from either Newport
Beach or Costa Mesa attended the
bearing. However, other airport sup-
porters said the approval isn't the
end of the fractious debate.
Before it is built, the airport must
still dear several other major hur-
dles, including a federal environ-
mental reV1ew and the hand-over of
the base property by the Navy.

UCI CAMPUS -When
freshman Va.run Jain tilled
out h1s hoUllng applloation,
he requested a single.
What be got instead was a
trtple -one in a study area
that was converted into a
bedroom to make room for
UC Irvine's burgeoning .W·
dent population.
·1 was freaking out and
upset,· Jain said. •1rs a great
way to start my UCI experi-
ence.•
Jain is a victim of UCI's
housing policy, which is play-
ing catch-up to the universi-
ty's enrollment increase. In
the past five years, the num-
ber of students has increased
20% and the housing depart·
ment is working feverishly to
construct new buildings to
accommodate them.
Adding to the pressure is
an increase in the number of
freshmen who want to live on
campus, said James Craig,
director of housing.
At UCI, freshmen housing
is guaranteed. To compen-
sate, this fall the university
assigned three students to a
room in about 150 cases and
created about 35 more
makeshift triple arrange-
ments in study areas.
In total, about 255 students
are affected by the space

crunch. Tb1s year's freshman
class includes 4,896 students,
and the entire student popu-
lation is 20, 790.
While the study areas are
spacious enough to accom-
modate a single bed, a bunk
bed and three desks, they are
lacking in other amenities,
such as mirrors and closet
s~ce. The university bas pro.
vided cardboard wardrobe
boxes and a few plastic draw-
ers for each student, but
when Jain requested an addi-
tional wardJ'obe, he said he
never received it.
Jain, who i5 from Houston,
requested on-campus hous-
ing because he doesn't have
family in the area.
Because the room was
designed as a study area, Jain
and his roommates must con-
tend with light from the hall-
way shining through one of
the windows at night, he said.
The arrangement also
makes studying at night diffi.
cult, Jain said, because every-
one has different sleeping
patterns.
To combat the shortage, the
universtty is engaged in an
"aggressive• building strate-
gy, Craig said. New dorms are
under CODltrUdiotl next to the
current ones, wtth the expec-
tation of tranSferring students
into them u early as January.
Tbele are also two or three
other housing projects on the
drawing boa.rd that will help
keep pace with increased
enrollment. CraJg said.
Jain, however, is not

The Jab will be the first vtslble element
of a marine studies center that will eventu-

students to explore.
At its existing Jab in Santa Ana, the
county now tests about 150 samples from
Orange County waters each week. Begin-
ning in about eight wee.ks, all these speci-
mens will be tested at Shellmaker.
"It's close to the coast and centralized for

director of the Orange County Public

The Department of Fish and Game is
donating the land, where the county, the city
and UC Irvine will collaborate to improve

To achieve this end, the lab will try to
harness some of the most promtslr>g tech·
nology science has to offer.
For example, it's known that microor·
ganisms from human waste J>C*! a greater
health risk than the same miaoorgantsnw
from animal waste. But until now,
researchers haven't had efficient ways to
distinguish between the two. Science may
have an answer.
By treating bacteria samples such bu
enterococcus with antibiotics, resean:ben
can measure their level of resiltaDce to tbe
treatment. More resistant germs probably
come from humans because people 81'9
exposed to antibiotics and, as a result, their
germs adapt to better survive antiblotlc
treatment.
These and other tests slated for the cen-
ter could mean more rapid detection of
health risks. The county now puts up warn-
ings about bacterta levels and beach clo-
sures about 24 hours after the unclean
water samples are taken from the bay or
beaches. Researchers hope that greatly
reducing this turnaround time is just one of
the benefits the new lab will bring.

TEMPLE
CONTINUED FROM 1
the slender steeple.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day
Saints, which in April announced it would
build the temple in Newport Beach. took its
next major step Tuesday by filing plans and
permit applications with the city.
The church plans to hold meetings with
homeowner groups and individuals whose
views will include the new temple. Hoping
to charm neighbors and honor God at the
same time, the church plans to include 5 112
acres of public gardens with walkways and
reflecting pools -all surrounding the 35-
foot-tall, light-colored granite building.
•we'd like it to be one of the most beau-
tiful experiences a person can have to go in
the building or be around the building,"
church spokesman Joseph Bentley said.
The cost of the project was not disclosed.
The church has owned the 8 1/2-acre site
at 2150 Bonita Canyon Drive since 1992,
when it also acquired the land for the
28,500-square-foot stake center, its worship
place now adjacent to the site.
The temple, though, will serve a different
purpose integral to the Mormon faith. Bap-
,tisms, marriages and ceremonies to bind
parents and families together for eternity all
must be performed in temples.

Now church members must drive to Los
Angeles or San Diego for these ordinances.
Mormons literally consider temples to be the
house of God. Steeples, too, have special
religious significance. drawing attention
upward toward God.
The steeple may be the only element of
the plans to make any waves.
Chwch planners have gone to great
lengths to make the temple amenable to the
Newport Beach community. It will be about
a tenth of the size of the church's famous Los
Angeles temple and a fifth of the size of
another in San Diego. The temple won't
trigger a Greenlight vote, having been
approved before the slow-growth measure's
passage.
It will serve 44, 100 members in the
region. But church officials emphasize that it
will not hold more than 150 people at any
one time, which they say will eliminate any
potential parking or traffic problems.
•The temple will be subject to the same
considerations of any other structure for that
area,• City Manager Homer Bludau said.
Planning department staff will review the
plans before sending them to the Planning
Commission, probably within eight weeks.
The temple is estimated to be completed in
spring 2003.

The Planning Commission unani-

The latest al
plan Is an :r;:' from
the 1990 general plan
and includes proposed changes to
highways, bik~ays and the Home
Ranch site.
Last month, the Plann3 Commis-sion recommended the pr ect for

council has not yet made a decision
on the proposed devek>pment. Plan-
ning staff is propo$1ng the required
changes to the general plan to Incor-
porate the changes the Segerstrom
firm is requesting.
The development's final environ-
mental report will also be up for rec-

The lots at 1904 and

the minimum lot-size requirement for

report shows. To meet that require-
ment. the parcels must be combined
to meet the 12,()()().square-foot mini-

Combining the 7,65G-and 7,260-

"We timed this to coincide
with the slow season,• said
Lloyd Dalton of the city's Pub-
lic Works Department.
Eatlier this month, the
council approved spending
$158,000 for work at four oth-
er beach restrooms -15th
Street, Newport Pier, Orange
Street and 58th Street -
where light fixtures and other
appliances will be replaced
and upgraded. Tuesday's
action means the majority of
beach restrooms in the city
will get improvements.
And in September, the
council OKd the biggest reno-
vation of both Balboa and
Newport piers in 60 years.
The $2.7-million work will
strengthen th~ structures and
improve their looks.
Balboa Pier bathrooms
were originally designed to
be unisex, Dalton said, but
the small stalls have been a
hindrance to good ventilation
and easy cleaning. The city
will replace these with tradi-
tional bathrooms, stalls inside
a larger room. And both sites
will have an increased num-
ber of toilets.
Balboa now bas six facili-
ties for men and five for
women. Those will be
replaced with six on the men's
side and eight for women. The
Washington Street restroom
bas a total ot six toilets for men
and women. After construc-
tion, there will be 11: five for
women, and six for men.
They will all have better
ventilation and be made easi-
er to clean with hose hookups
and other features.

Rather, the problem is an
issue of language and some
measure of parental iniilffer-
ence. First, it's simply fender-
headed to expect children -
or anyone for that matter -to
excel academically when they
can't speak or understand the
words flying around the class-
room, or that sit there staring
them in the face on a test. I'm

Through intense English lan-

But that won't be enough.
That's because children -
particularly those with li.nuted

to learn. first the language
and then the academics. The
problem is the district doesn't
have the authority to man-

beat it into them. They can't

to a 7-2 lead in the decisive fifth game
as they defeated the Sailors, 15-8, in a
Sea View League first-place showdown Tuesday night.
Irvine (8-4, 5-1 in league), the defending league
champion and ranked No. 7 In Orange County, won the
first two games, 15-12, 15-6, then Newport Harbor rallied
to win games three and four, 15-7. 15-11, to force a fifth
game.
"We got a nice lead (in the filth), and in rally scoring
it's hard to come back. Rally scoring changes everything,•
said Irvine Coach Mark Mednick, Whose team was led by
Waldowski, the Nebraska-bound 6-foot-2 seruor middle
blocker who flnished with 32 kills.
Newport Harbor (15-9, 5-1), ranked third in the county
and No. 10 in Sou them California, swept Irvine in three
games in the first round of Sea View play.
·we beat them handily last time in our gym (15-13, 15-

we've been a little inconsistent and (the Vaqueros) won
the league title Jast year (for the first time since 1988).
We're just not playing very well right now, and we're way

Waldowski crowned the win with a. big solo block on

Football coaches call it de-

with progress than regression.
In fact. in the context of a
defell$ive scheme, an lndlv1d-
ual's willlngness lo take three
steps forward can often mean
one giant leap for the team.
Such is the case for the
Newport Harbor defense, which
utilizes linebacke rs with
physiques more common among
comert>ack.s or safeties.
'We went guys who can
run,• Newport Harbor Coach
Jeff Brinkley said. •W'e'll de-

Harbor's starting linebackers
have helped the Tu.rs relinquish
the fewest points in Orange

not budge in Friday night's
24-0 Sea View win over Irvine,
which had trouble interrupting
the path of Ray, Miller and
Encinias, as well as junior utility
backup Dave Erick.son, to the
ball carrier.
In a scheme designed lo free
linebackers to make tackles, the
s mallish , but strong and
aggressive Sailor contingent
obliged. Swanning to the ball.
they helped create six Irvine
running plays for negative
yardage, one for no gain, three
for t yard, five for 2 yards and
two for 3 yards. That's 17 plays
netting just 7 yards, which
helped keep the lrv1ne punter
busy (six kicks).
Irvine, whkh managed just
168 yards of offel\le. did not
penetrate the Newport side of

third quarter. Tbe Vaqueros

•They played really well across the bOaid, • BrtnkJey said
ol bis Unebackers.
There were off-season
questions about who would
replace the trio o( middle backer
Alan Saenz (now at Montana).
as well as outside standouts
Chris Mande rino (Cal) and
Andy Rankin (Dartmouth).
Originally, the 6-foot-1, 190-
pound Ray was slated to start
outside, but was shifted to the
middle.
"Moving Cory to the middle
was a big deal for our defense,
because it allowed us to put Joe
(Poley) down (at nose guard),·
Brinkley said. "We've been
fortunate to have some good
Mike 'backers here and he is lo
that group. He runs inside-out lo
the ball and goes sideline to
sideline.•
Miller (5·11, 190), had
Oourtsbed on the junior varsity
and was a special teams
standout as a junior. He stepped
ln to provide aggressiveness
outside. •we knew he could really
play, having watched. him on
lti8 tower tevels, • Brinkley ~d.
•He's a very tougb guy who will
strlke you and he's athletic
~b to cover in the llChemes
we use. He a1lo does a good job
co~ off the when we
blitz.•
Encinias (5-9, 165), who
became the first freshman m
Brinkley's t 6 seasons to see
varsity action during last year's
postseason run, opened fall
practice competing for time In
the secondary.
"We thought he might be a
comer for us, because of bis
s1Ze." Brinkley said. "But we
moved him back to linebacker,
where he played on the
freshman team, and everything
seemed to click for him. He has
been flying around hitting guys
ever since.•
Encinias was the Sailors'
defensive pJayer of the week
after making five solo tackles
and two assists.
Erickson (6-1, 180) most often
spells Encinias. but can also play
inside.
"He's a lwing guy who will
most likely be our middle
linebacker next year,• Brinkley
said. ·we wanted to find the
combination ol guys who bad
the best cbemlstry and we tbiDk
we have. These guys all !Mave
the aa.llty to nm around. lbeYre
Pf9bably qukter than peopJe
think they are.•
