COSTA MESA -Councilman Chris
Steel began his term Monday with an
attempt to quiet controversy about his
campaign victory.
·well, here I am,• said Steel, who got
the most votes in the Nov. 7 election,
•after 22 years in the making .... I am
sorry (Costa Mesa resident Michae\·
Szkaradek) has taken issue with a polit-
ical difference we had back then and
has held it against me, bur he has that
fraud on my part or on the part of the
(signers). I wish people would be fair
and give me the benefit of the doubt.
Yes, mistakes were made but nothing
intentional.•
Szkaradek, who ran against Steel in a
1986 City Council race, claimed after
Steel's election that one of the signatures
on Steel's nominating petition was forged.
The city attorney's office, however,
conduded after an investigation that Steel
should not be barred Crom taking office.

"I feel so good when I accomplish
something and help somebody and, in
this setting, I see the results inunedi-
ately," Drasdo said. "I help people who
are sick, who don't hav.e money and
who are afraid to go to the mainstream
hospitals because they know they can't
pay. I see faces coming in worried and
leaving with a smile, and that just does
it for me. Tue hope you give them is
incredible. For me, coming here is like

Getting the tone and implications
just right is important to avoid misun-
delstimdlngs, and in some ways, Drasdo
said. she feels like an actor trying to
imitate people.
Drasdo sakl her Mexican birth gives
her an added advantage: She under-
stands the voice inflections and body
language that give her additional clues
about the ~tients.
"Theres a little bit of psychology
involved.• she said. "Sometimes I tell
the doctor that I think something is
wrong other than what someone is
telling you or that I think someone is
lying, and usually I am right Sometimes
they need food or they're having fami-
ly problems.·
The hardest part is not the work
itself, but the pain of translating bad
news, ~o said, adding that hope
and the knowledge that patients are
getting good treatment keeps her spir-
its up.
•At first. I thought I would stay here
for maybe six months, but now I'm hav-
ing too much fun to leave,• she said.
·The people -those who work here
and those who come here for help-are
so much fun. I meet so many people I

Neupon Beach must remain united in battle f or El Toro airpott
F inally, a few victories.
Los Angeles County
Superior Court Judge
James Otero summarily dis-
charged Measure F to the ash
heap of unconstitutional ini-
tiatives. And Tuesday, the
Orange County Board of
Supervisors, in a unanimous
vote, gave the nod to fire up
the machinery for extending
the flight caps and curfews of
the John Wayne Airport Set-
tlement Agreement for an ·
additional 20 years.
The wins are sweet, to be
sure. But in the case of mov-
ing the settlement agreement
extension off the dime, awk-
ward cracks in the city's uni·
fied offensive for an El Toro
airport emerged. How do we
know?
There was a whiff of
equivocation in the air at the
Nov. 28 session of the New-
port Beach City Council.
When the council's business
lit upon its move to prod the
Orange County Board of
Supervisors to open formal
discussions extending the set-
tlement agreement. outgoing
Mayor John Noyes looked
like a guy who was running
out of time and was tired of
fighting. Council members
Dennis O'Neil and Norma
Glover looked the same way.

of the flight caps and curfews
at John Wayne as an issue to·

"In the dialogue we've

to help them look into those
options."
"We've represented to the
Board of Supervisors [that)
our request to extend this set-
tlement agreement is really
separate (and) apart from the
El Toro issue,• O'Neil said.
Added Glover: ·w e have
deliberately tried not to tie
this to El Toro."
Why the olive branch? The
conciliation? It's clear that, tac~ with the expiration of
the existing settlement agree-
ment -which restricts ~e
number of flights and the
pmes of departures and
arrivals -at the end of 2005,
the.City Council was being
presswed by the clock. And it
was sobered by the reality
that hammering out an exten-
sion will be a lengthy and dif •
ficult exercise not unlike
pushing a car uphill with a
rope.
I think there's more to it
than that, however. My theo-
ry is the City Council felt the
hot breath of the 800-pound
gorilla (read: El Toro oppo-
nents) represented by 5th
District Supervisor Tom Wil-
son. While Wilson, the coWlty
representative of Newport
Beach, favors extending the
settlement agreement. he
could not afford to press the
opening of formal negotia-
tions if his South County con-
stituents believe Newport
Beach is advancing the settle-
ment agreement and an El
Toro airport as two parts of
one solution. That would be
politically untenable.
So it may have seemed
strategically savvy to uncou-
ple the El Toro rhetoric from
the engine of the settlement
agreement extension. And
perhaps that's why the City
Council conveniently left the
Airport Working Group and
its fiery leader, Barbara Lich·
man, out of the noodling ses-
sions that produced the first
drait settlement agreement
resolution that was placed
before the Board of Supervi-
sors and roundly rejected.
After all, that group is a per-
sistent and effective advocate
for an airport at El Toro.
'Nevertheless, the Airport
Working Group played a
principle role in writing the
1985 settlement. It is a signa-
tor to 'the compact. Equally
important, Llchman's deep
experience in complex airport

negotiations and her take-no-
prisoners style represent
potent weaponry that New-
port Beach musl have if it is
to preserve the provisions of
the settlement agreement
That's why the council's
exclusion of Che Airport
Working Group was short-
sighted, if not fender-headed.
And Lichman let them know
it at the Nov. 28 gathering.
"We are somewhat non-
plused that a year's worth of
discussions has gone on with
South County, a non-stake·
holder in (the extension
issue), while the stakeholders
in Newport Beach have not
been consulted,· Lldunan
said. "We ask most urgently
• that the Airport Working
Group be immediately
involved in all action relative
to the extension of the agree-
ment. We deserve that cour-
tesy.•
She got it. The council and

penned new langwlge to the
extension resolution language
that enumerates tbat the lig·
nators to the 1985 settlement
agreement must be a part ot
the negotiations to extend the
flight caps and curfews.
So long as Llcbman and
the Newport Beach City
Council remain on the same
team, I'm hopeful the city c.an
maintain a united front with
respect to an airport at El
Toro. For without an El Toro
airport, any settlement agree-
ment extension will quickly
wither under the inevitable
legal challenges seeking the
expansion of John Wayne
Airport as the only means to
accommodate the nation's air
transportation demands. ·

which seeks to convert an L-
sbaped Jot behind Home
Depot into housing, met with
more controversy.
The developer, Harbor
Center Partnen, applied to
change the commercial and
high-density residential lot to
medium-density residential,
but the ooundl decided to con-
sider only a conversion to a
low-density residential zone.
Three residents spoke
against the medium-density
proposals -saying they could
increase noise and traffic, but
were in favor of low density.
Councilwoman Karen
Robinson also spoke in favor
of low density ..
"ls it too much to ask for
you to give back to residents
who have gtvenup so much to
accommodate Harbor Center,
which has been a profit for
you?• she said. "I would be
letting everyone who voted
for me down if I didn't press
you to go (low density) and to
take a profit cut to give back
to those residents.•
There have been recent
discussions on how to keep
home builders from submit·
ting projects that bunch sev-
eral houses on small lots. In
June, the council imposed a
moratorium to halt small-lot,
cookie-cutter residential pro-
jects while the dty staff work
on new development stan-
dards. On Monday, the coun-
cil voted to extend the build·
ing freeze for 18 months.
The Planning Commission
is scheduled to review the
revisions to the development
standards Monday, but the
new policy would not go into
effect unW approved by the
City Council.
Councilwoman Linda
Dixon said even though the
standards will probably be
ready before the ta months
are up, she would rather "play
it sate• and then lift the mora-
torium when the council bas
•an ordinance we feel strong·
ly about."

for the vice mayor position.
RoblnsOn dedined. however,
and the council voted unani-
mously for Councilwoman
Linda Dixon to take the vice
mayor seat.
"This is awkwald, • Robinson
said. •1 don't have any doubts
about my ability to be vice
mayor, but I think I willdefer to
people with more experience.·
But while some residents
doled out words and cheers in
Steel's favor, other residents
were equally vocal in their
opposition.
Nearly a month after the
election, some residents are still
challenging Steel's right to take
office, saying Steel should not
be exempt from disqualification
just because the alleged forgery
was discovered after the elec-
tion.
"Steel should not have been
on the ballot,• said resident
William Kuhn. "If Mr. Steel
takes office, he will follow a pro-
gram of deceit. There is no bet-
ter time or place than now to ask
for a recall of Mr. Steel. God
save Costa Mesa."
Supporters maintain Steel
won fair and square.
"The vote count is complete,
and Mr. Steel received more
votes for City Council than any
other candidate," said Rich
Studerick, who lives in the city
"It is a clear expression of the
will of the people. Refusing to
swear Steel in based on a dub1·
ous allegation would be thwart-

however, didn't stop attorneys
from lining up witnesses for the

PATH
CONTINUED FROM 1
But Brockman's gates
have incensed a large group
of horse riders, blcyclists·and
walkers who were accus-
tomed to using the path to
get to the bay. They're push-
ing the county, the city of
Newport Beach and the Cali-
fornia Department of Fish
and Game to reopen the
path, arguing that public
rights are being trampled.
"They can't just say, 'OK,
you closed it off, it's yours,'·
said Santa Ana Heights resi-
dent Jim Auster. "They have
a responsibWty to protect
public access here.·
Auster and other residents
argue that an easement
exists granting a public right
of way across Brock.man's
property. It explicitly allows
for pedestrian and bicycle
access, Auster said, and the
equestrian use is an ·implied
dedication· because it has
been going on for years.
Brockman disagrees. She
argues that the easement is
not on her property but at
the end of Mesa Drive. And
the fact that horse riders
have been using her trail in
the past doesn't mean they
have the right to continue
doing so now.
The earnest arguments of
the public access proponents
don't faze Brock.man. They
can sue, she said, if they're
convinced they know what
they're talking about. And in
the meantime, if they try to
take their horses down the
path, she'll call the police.
"Whatever the courts
decide, we're happy to live
with,• she said.
After speaking briefly
about tl).e path last week,
Brockman did not respond to
attempts to contact her again.
The county's . position
doesn't clarify much in the
muddled debate.
"It's a limited easement,•
said Josh McDonell, commu-
nity and government affairs
officer for Orange County.
·we don't really think we
can stop the property owner
from installing the gates as
long as our flood-control
access is not impeded, and
it's not.•
McDonell said, though,
that the state Department of
Fish and Game may view the
matter differently.

and Game could not be
reached for comment.
Broclanan's motivation for
erecting the gates, she said,
ls a lawsuit filed Oct. 4 on
behalf of an equestrian who
was injured in December
1999 on Mesa Drtve. The
$750,000 suit accuses Brock-
man, along with Newport
Beach and Orange County,
of contributing to an unsafe
situation for horse riders
along Mesa Drive.
As they stand now, Brock-
man's gates don't keep out
pedestrians or bicyclists. But
horses must travel to the end
of Mesa Drive, a few hun-
dred yards away, to get to
the Back Bay.
Auster said he thinks this
arrangement is, if anything.
less safe than it was before.
And the court battle
Brockman invites, he said, is
all too likely if she will not
voluntarily remove th,e gates.
"It put us on notice that
we better take some action,•
Auster said.

Fifth District Supervisor
Tom Wtlson initia11y objected
to this amendment, arguing
that the board should work to
maintain a distinction
between policies at the two
airports. But Smith prevailed
after emphasizing that a dif-
ferent committee would study
caps at each site.
A second amendment.
which did not pass, would
have required the city, the
county and John Wayne Air·
port to draw more interested
parties into the process of
preparing the environmental
reports.
Though language requir-
ing inclusiveness was not
approved, Newport Beach
officials stressed their desire to
keep the flight cap extension
process as open as possible.

coming-out party, then the Wl.11
over Santa Marganta wds proof
they have arrived.
"(Santa Marganta is) probably
the toughest team we'll race this
season,• Sea Kings' Coach Ron
Evans said. "Our girls really rose
to the occasion. They came out
and played to win.•
GIRLS SOCCER
CdM (4-1) was quick to make
to its statement.
Just four minutes into the
game, CdM's Elisha Morgan
scored otf a reoound from Lauren
Shepa.rdson's shot. And then, six
minutes later, Hanson struck tor
h er goal when she finished Alli-
son Harvey's pass.
Despite the 2-0 deficit, the
Eagles (1-1) controlled the first
half. They outshot the Sea Kings,
13-5, but CdM goalie Britta
Vogele stopped Santa. Margari-
ta's chances. She finished with 10
saves.
The Eagles' relentless attack
in the first half did result in one
goal. In the 31st minute, Shannon
Foley. who wowed the crowd
with somersault throw-ins,
tipped in Lisa Perrotta's shot
attempt.
But, the 2-1 advantage had
the Sea Kings confident and they
carried momentum into a second
half which had that playoff-type
abnosphere.
Play stopped three times in the
second half for injuries. Evans
was warned for talking back to
an official. And players from both
teams challenged officials on
some calls.
Though Santa Marganta hard-
ly threatened offensively, the bat-
tle seemed to go back and forth.
And CdM would not give in.
"I don't think the calls were
going our way.• Evans said. "The
girls didn't worry about that.
They rose above that. We gave
up the one goal in the second
hall. (This win) says something
about the character of our team.·
Said CdM captain Molly
O'Meara, "The win says we play
with a lot of heart. Everyone
plays together.•
In the 10th minute, Santa Mar-
garita had a chance to tie the
score. Aller a CdM foul, the
Eagles attempted a direct kick 20
yards 10 front of the net. But the
attempt was quickly turned back
by the Sea Kings.
An offioal warned Evans for
disputing the foul call. The offi-
cial's judgment did not effect
CdM's quest to m!.ke its state-
ment. ·u he's going to make those
calls, I'm just going to keep play-
ing." O'Meara said. •That's why
we pull through and win.•
Costa Mesa just misses
• Mustangs put forth a solid
effort despite a 1-0 setback.

By midterm. the Newport Harbor High secondary
had passing marks when It came to pass
coverage. But, in order for the Sailors' football
team to get where it is -the CrF Southern Section
DiVlSioo VI final Friday against Irvine -higher marks
were required.
Luckily, the secondary's private tutor, defensive
coorclinator Evan Chalmers, was there to speed up
the learning curve.
The challenge got steeper for the Harbor patrol in
Saturday's semdinal against top-seeded La Mirada
and heralded senior signal caller Erik Meyer. Meyer
came in with 2.788 yards and 37 TDs m 12 games as
Spruth (5-9, 162), a seruor. is the most experi-
enced, having played comer dll four years m the pro-
gram, as well as m J r All-Amencan before that. He
hds two mterceptions.
"He doesn't have mcredJble skills. be he knows
his JOb and he's always where he heh to
be, "Chalmers said.
Spruth and Gaeta have dlso provided sure tack-
ling on run support. I I "Evan is a great teacher on the practice field and
he's done an excellent job with those guys, "Newport
Coach Jeff Brinkley said. "It's a group that was very
inexperienced. But, as the season has gone along,
they've developed some conlidence. They're playing
really well right now."

Just in time, as it turned out, as the Sailors
encountered high-powered aertal attacks the last two
weeks
But, with pnndples similar to those used against
Kennedy, the Sailor secondary held him to 188 yards
(44 below his average). Further, Meyer's one TD toss
was one-third his average and Gaeta's second-quar-
ter interceptiorr was only the fourth Meyer had
thrown. Harbor won. 35-16

Harken back to the l 940's and 50's
with this charming collection of
ornaments by intemationally~renowned
designer, Christopher Radko. He
had both of those eras foremost in JJillld
when putting togtther this unique coll~n.
He used the simple, classic round shapes ofthe
forties and tthies and topped them with star
shapes, indented them with starburst designs,
and surrounded them with vivid coloq
swirling around their centers. Afterward,
he enhanced them with intricately-detailed
patterns here and there. Among our favorites' are
the two picrured here: Star Reflection (front) 3fld
Floral Reflections, both new for 2000.
