Cify, Fire Department deny complaint • Fuefighter Terry Evans is asking for reimbursement of lost work. lennthr Kho DAILY PILOT COSTA MESA-City offi. dals deny tnat a fireflgbter's sick days were unfairly docked when he was not allowed back to work after bis doctor declared him fit for duty. Ttfny Bvans returned lo bis job ln JWy, but is seeking compensation for damages, plus reimbursement for 42 work shifts that he allegedly lost because he was forced to take sick leave. In a response filed with the Orange County Superior Court in Santa Ana, the city and Fire Department deny the allegations and ask the court to award no damages to Evans, dismiss the charges and award them any proper relief. The defendants •deny both generally and specifical- ly each and every allegation,• the response states. According to the lawsuit filed in October, Evans had a "brief episode of disorienta- tion• while on duty in March 1998 and was taken to the hospital. Evans alleges be was not allowed back to work ev~ after be received a physi- cian's work release. Instead, he was asked for further releases and was subjected to a number of additional tests before being allowed back to work in July, according to the law- ruit filed by his attorneys, Stephen Silver and Devonne Midson. Evans was docked for sick leave while be wait- ed for the results of the additional work release tests. Evans rejected a city offer to pay him for 22 of the 42 docked shifts. He also alleges in the lawsuit that the city did not respond to further corre- spondence. According tq the response filed by James Murphy and Steve Wang, attorneys for the city and Fire Department. the damages Evans complained of in the lawsuit were his own fault. The incident was •caused and contributed to by the negligence of (Evans) for the reason that (be) did not exe.r- clse ordinary care on his own behalf under the drcum· stances then existing." The dty and Fire Depart· ment had the right to keep Evans from duty unW assured of bis health, accord- ing to the response, which als9 alleges that the defen- dants are not responsible because Evans did not exhaust administrative reme- dies, act to reduce his dam- ages or file within the time limitation of one year after the incident. Attorneys for neither side were available for comment. but Midson in the past has said that although the city has the right to ensure employees are fit for duty, Evans should not have been made to pay for the city's peace of mind. Wall expected to spruce up John Wayne Airport • But at least one resident of Santa Ana Heights is complaining about the plans. P•ul Clinton DAILY PILOT JOHN WAYNE AlRPORT -To spruce up the south- east.em edge of John Wayne Airport, county offiaals plan to build a retaining wall on Bristol Street and add . new landscaping to two parking lots. The wall - stretching between Red Hill and Irvine avenues -will hide an unsightly dirt slope. Sprin- kled with trash and weeds on Thursday, the slope borders the Corona del Mar Freeway. Airport officials say the concrete wall, which will taper in height from 5 to 16 feet, will not only cover the slope but prevent future mud- slides.

"The real wall needs to be on top of the mesa, a perime- ter wall,· said Russell Niewiarowski, an outspoken proponent of an airport at the closed El Toro Marine Air Station. • U there's to be a wall, it should be to mitigate noise, not to hold back dirt.· Construction of the wall has stalled while the county's Road Department. negotiates with the California Depart- ment of Transportation to remove an easement the state agency holds on the slope. The airport owns the prop- erty but must negotiate a removal of the property right. Construction could start as early as three months from now, McCarley said. It could be delayed as much as five months after that. The Board of Supervisors approved Uie $400,000 pro- ject about 18 months ago. As part of the slope pro- ject, the county will spruce up two off-airport parking lots on Main Street. The county will spend $100,000 on those two lots, McCarley said.

Back Bay ~ewer project approved The Orange County Board of Supervisors on Tuesday approved an environmental analysis and a financing plan to repair slopes and relocate a sewer line at the Upper Newport Bay Nature Pre- serve. The 4-0 vote, with Supervisor Jim Silva absent, paves the way for the project to proceed. The county will split the project's $700,000 prtce tag with Newport Beach, which owns the sewer line that stretches along the East Bluff rim. The slope work was proposed to fix erosion m the Back Bay that occurred during the heavy rams of 1995 and 1998. Construction on the project, which must clear several regulatory hurdles and gain approval by the Newport Beach City Council, is set to begin in the suxruner. Before work can begin, the supel"'o'.isors must approve detailed construc- tion plans. • I SA~ I! Co· • Starting Wed.

He proposed the reestab- lishment of the council- appointed finance committee to "look at an update of our investment policy, scrutinize our financial statements on a regular basis and plan for the inevitable downturn In our economy.• Adams said he plans to conduct council meetings in line with parliamentary pro- cedures, something that •got pretty tax• in recent times. "Council members really shouldn't be engaging in dis- cussions before public testi- mony is taken,• be said, adding that each of his col- leagues should have an equal opportunity to make their point. ·council members shouldn't be allowed to speak more than once on an issue until everyone on the council bas had a chance to speak.• A .focus on policy making BUFFA CONTINUED FROM 1 boy is her big brother, Felice -my Uncle Phil, who is all of 8 years old. Their day started long before dawn, full of excite- ment and promise. They had finally reached the land of dreams after a harrowing. 10- day voyage across the Atlantic. They landed in Boston, the second busiest port of entry for Europeans after Ellis Island, which had been the entry point for many other relatives of mine. My grandfather, Vito Mule, and another brother, Frank, were already here and had started a pasta business in the Williamsburg section of Brooklyn. Business was good, as was the pasta. When the time and the money were right, tbey sent word to Tom to lead tbe next wave across the Big Pond. They also sent detailed instructions on how to get from Boston to New York. how to get from Grand Central to Brooklyn by subway. and a carefully written note witb the Williamsburg address, which be could always hand to a cab- bie or a cop if all else failed. Making tbe crossing was a grueling marathon. but being "processed" through Boston or Ellis Island was a test of strength and sanity for adults, let a.Jone kids. Think of the worst travel day you've ever had You'd have to multiply those canceled Oights or over- heated engines or crying babies a hundredfold to match the average day on Ellis Island. Imagine the chaos of thou- sands of people with mounds of bags, bundles and babies, all crammed into a large hall that was either unbearably bot or freezing cold. Men. women and chikhen stand for hours and bows in endless lines that barely move. But on that day, Paula and company made it through the Golden Door, and into the Promised Land. The long train ride from Boston provided a merciful rest. and finally, they were in New York. dazzled by Grand Central Terminal -the "Crossroads of the World.• As my Uncle Tom reached for bis wallet. he gasped, then froze as solid as Lot's wife. The only thing in bis back pocket was his band. His wallet was gone, lost or stolen, along with everything they needed to find their way. Money, papers, identification, the Brooklyn address -all gone. There lhey stood, without a word of English or any idea of where they Wen!, bow to get home or the means to do it, all on a mowy Christmas Eve. My QlOtber WU beginn1ng to fuss, as one might expect from a 4- J9U-old who has bad a very, rather than policy implemen- tation is also something he'd like to encourage. •1 want to make sure that we stay focused as policy- makers instead of getting involved in the day-to-day operations of the dty, • he said. •we should leave that to the city marutger. There's a lot of wisdom to that.• At the same time, Ada.ms said he wants to make it easi- er for residents to know what's going on in the city. He's proposed including com- mittee reports in City Council meetings so residents "don't have to attend a hundred dif- ferent meetings a month to see what our focus is.• A city newsletter, first sug- gested by Adams' predeces- sor, John Noyes, could help to keep constituents infonned, be said. Another issue Adams plans to focus OD during bis tenure as mayor is tbe updat- ing of the city's general plan. •Many elements of our general plan, which serves as the road map to future devel- opment and redevelopment of the city, are outdated,• Adams said Dec. 12. "It makes sense very long day. My grandmoth- er and my Uncle Phil tried their best to keep her quiet. Tom was in no mood for dra- ma. He was alternately despondent and frantic - cursing himself, racking his brain, trying to figure out what they were going to do, which is why he didn't notice the man who was suddenly stand- ing beside them When tbe man spoke, they were stunned. Not only did he speak Italian, but in their own Sicilian dialect. To them, it was the voice of an angel. •Excuse me,· the man said, "are you OK?" Tom didn't know whether to laugh or cry at that ques- tion. He explained their dilemma as calmly as he could. The man smiled when Tom told him they needed to get to a place called "Williamsburg.• •Really? I live in Williams- burg,· the man said. ''I'm on my way home.

It was a few minutes to mid- night. Awfully late, but he had no choice. He pounded on the door. Not a sound. He pounded again, harder. A second-floor window flew open and my Uncle Frank leaned out, straining to see what the racket was about. "What's going on?" he shouted. "Who's down there?"

Tony Altobelli DAILY PILOT MlSSJON VlEJO -Whtle three-pomt land was d sdfe haven for the Costa Mesa High boys basketball team, inside the arc was a cavern of doom and gloom. In the end, the doom and gloom won out in Thursddy afternoon's 72-68 pool-play loss to A.B. Miller High tn tournament play at Trabuco l lills I hgh. "Today. we had absolutely no inside gdme whatsOPv- er," Mesa Coach Bob Seiven said. "It's very frustrdtJng right now. We've got to find a way to get some success down low." Costa Mesa (4-4) scored 51 of its 68 points on 17 three-pointers. Senior Jun Gandia led the outside attdck with six treys en route to a career-htgh 20 points. Junior David Conte (four three-pointers) chipped in Wlth 14 points, while Chad Vakili (three treys) added 13 pomts Mesa's outside shooting barrdge d1d not reach a white-hot level r1ght away and the Rebels (8-1) took advantage, outrunning. outshoonng and outplaying the Mustangs. ·we were very mtinudated dt the beguuung of the game and that killed us,· Seiven saJd. ·we mdde a van- ety of mistakes, we had mentaJ lapses and d senous lack of intensity early.· Miller slammed the pace of the game mto overdnve and beat Mesa down the floor for a number of easy bas- kets and a 13-poLnl first-quarter advantage The second quarter wasn't much better as the Rebels' lead grew to as high as 15 points. The Mustangs made only nine shots in the first half, but eight of those baskets were from beyond the arc as the Rebels' lead was cut to only 10 at the half. "It seems like every guy on that team can hit lrom downtown,• Miller Coach John Romagnoli said before halftime with a beleaguered gnn on his face. "It almost doesn't seem fair." Seiven was just as pu1..zled by how his team trailed by such a small margin at the halfway point. "We should be down by 30 right now," he said to no one in particular before the start of the third quarter. The Rebels tried to send Mesa to the canvas with a 12· 0 run and built the led to 20, but the Mustangs continued to reign long bombs and trailed by only 13 after three quarters. Mesa opened the fourth quarter with a 12-6 run to trail by onJy seven with 4:34 remaining. The Mustangs got as close as five, but the Rebels man- aged to hit 8 of 9 from the free-throw line down the stretch to hang on. A three· pointer at the buzzer cut the final deficit to fo ur. Costa Mesa will continue its play at the tournament today a t 3 p.m. against Stock- dale.
