mnghy problem
may soon be solved
A hoy.
Chuck South and
Wade White, repre·
sentativ of the Newport
Mooring Assn., are active in
solving the dinghy storage
problem that most mooring
owners tackle every time
they want to access their off·
shore boets.
Right now, the people
with their boats tied to the
moonog cans do not have
any shore-side facilities
where the dinghies Ca.n be
tied up or stored while shore-
side. Some people rent dock
space at a nearby house. but
the majority have to load the
dinghy into their vehicles
each time. The city's public
docks only have a 20-minute
docking limit that does not
allow enough time to grab a
bate to eat or go to the store
without haVUlg to haul out
your dinghy.
However, that JUSt rrught
change, as there lS a project
underway at the oty-owned
&sin Marina. Plans are
underway to build a storage
rack to accommodate a few
dmgbJes shore-'1de. easing
the burden of what to do
with your dinghy. Both
Chuck and Wade are looking
at low-profile, nice-loo1dng
storage units that possibly
could be in.stalled on bay
beeches around the harbor.
ln addition, a few of the
d ty-owned pubUc docks can
easily be redes gned to
accommodate storage on the
inland side. Mooting owners
could purchase an annual
dinghy pass from the c1ty
with the funds going bade
into the dingy program.
I believe theboata wOuld -
be used more often and on
the spw of the moment U
there WU adequate 8ttes1 to
the moored boats The
lncreaed usage would
equate to better maintained
boats in the mooring fields.
PIUI, I tbiilk. the dty
should help provide dingy
storage.'" ls dona in almost
every other hatboT.

I want to give kudos to the
Newport Harbor Department
and the U.S. Cout Guard for
finally pooling re90W'CeS and
removing those ugly old
poles and wires from the
West Jetty. The project was

THE HAllOR COLUMN
np of the week 15 dock-
ing. How many bmes do you
watch a boat, usually at a
tugh rate of speed, approach
a dock for docking and.
when close enough and as
the boat bangs the dock. a
few ~gers jump out to
try and stop the boat plus
bold it from floating awayl
Afterward. the skipper slWTI·
bers out to bang down the
fenders an<t secure the dock
lines to the boat and dock
Normally, you would hear
a lot of screenung with word~
I cannot pnnt m Uus column
What l$ wrong with the pac·
tu.re? Prepa.rabOn and plan·
rung are missing from this
situation. Yes, some very
skilled captains can dock
under preferable conditions
and then rig the vessel, as I
have done many umes.
First, let's ta.rt with a nau-
1ical nomenclature lesson -
the dock lines are Unes and
not rope. Seoondly, fender.
not bumper, IS the correct
term for the banging cushion
(Bat cushion, ball. or blowup
tube) that ls used between
the boat and dock.
Dodl:iDg depends on the
venel'9 maneuwrabihty, tak·
ing into account the wind
and current effeds, but I just
want to adm-s tbe prepara-
tion and not tbil actual ways
to dock. wb.icll would 6ll •
book.
First. look at bow tbe eJe.
ments will affect yow dock-
ing. such a bow t.be wtnd
might blow you into or away
from the dock. Then orga-
nize your passengers U you
need o.s lance docking.
Before you ta.rt the
approach, have the dock
lines ready-secured to the
veael's cleats and the fend-
ers deployed over the 5lde(s).
Now plan your approach
as low as you can. maJ.ntain-
tng steerage, as a slow bump
will not caUM any dam.age
Have any lnexpenenced
helpers mnply set out of the
boat and bold a dock line
that might need it and wrap
4 00 the dock cleat until th
slapper can properly secure
tbe YelSel.
Planning wtth your guests
and preparing the vessel will
help make your docld.ngs
look like a prol na.1.
Safe voyegea.

Of the 23 cold ca.I, police
have luspectl lo tb.Ne, or et
leut have arrest warrants out
ln three Catel. One ol tboH
warrants 11 for Victor Oaitia,
th 17-yeer-old IUlpected of

Godsoe wu found blud-
geoned to death dwtng the
wee bows ol Sept. 21. 2001,
on a brush-covered trail tn
Palrview Park. Wltneues told
police Godsoe met Garcia at
the park the night of Sept. 20.
On Thursday, the film
crew of America's Most
Wanted worked wttb Coste
Mesa police oUlcers to pre-
pare a documentary on the
case. ·we contacted them in
October because we felt U
may help us get closer to
(GardaJ or at lea.st get some
leads,• Archer said.
He said investigators
received information from a
few sources that Garcia may
be hiding out tn Mexico. ·we were also told by oth-
ers that be ls till tn Calllor-
nia, • Archer said. •So, we
don't really know.·
in the last two years, veter-
ans Archer and Lt. Ron Smith
have initiated a move to
update and reorganize all the
evidence and information
relating to the 23 unsolved
cases.
Archer said they were
encouraged and motivated
by the advances in technolo-
gy, particularly the sclences
of DNA, tingerprinbng and
ba.lllstics.

advancement. though. has
been in the area of DNA.· be

friends, boyfriends or even
acquaintances of the victuns.
In the Sudweeks case
a.lone. officers have wabbed
more, than 130 people And
most of the time, people do
not object to being swabbed,
Archer sa.td.
DNA technology has
opened doors for mvesbga-
tors they did not know enst-
ed, said Newport Beach
Police Lt. Doug Fletcher
•tt helps us track down
suspects through the proc

Fletcher aid Newport
Beach probably has very few
homicides and even fewer
unsolved cases than other
oties.
•And because we have so
few. they're close to our
hearts.· he S4ld.
The small team of mvesti-
gators -wtth one sergeant
and two detectlves -tries to
work on the cases whenever
bme penruts, Fletcher said.
Each of these cases 1s
unusual with ats own set or
twists, turns and set of ar-
cumstances There are some
case1 like that ol SUdweeks
and"todsoe t..Ml.the commu·
mtY remembers more than
others because ol their imme-
diacy.
But Archer remembers
others that are not as fresh m
the public's memory. One
such case is the 1 'iJ77 murder
of 21-year-old Robyn Cox.
found bludgeoned to death,
her body submerged tn the
bathtub of her apartment
Police have submitted the

old Malinda Gibbons IS yet
another one where pollce
have performed several DNA
searches, Arch r said. Gab·
bons' husband, Kent, found
hlS pregnant wife gagged
and stabbed when he
returned from work. Later. at
was discovered she was also
raped.
The Costa Mesa Police
Department is sblJ offenng d
$5,000 reward for U\fonnatton
relabng to Gibbons' murder
But the offer of rewards d~·
n't seem to have broughl
forth much m th e cases
In 1995, the fanuly of Nt>w·
port Beach m1U1ona1n•
Wl.11.larn F. M cLaughlin. who
was found shot to death tn tus
Balboa Cove home in Decem·
ber 1994, offered $100,000 for
information about th"
unsolved murder The 55-
year-old entrepreneur dl.ed ot
six gunshot wounds to hJ'
chest.
Worlung on unsolved CdS·
es ts more chaDengmg than
frustrabng, Archer said.
·The most frustral.lng part
Is when to g t to an old lead
to find out they are dead.· he
said "There' no way you can
resurrect that U\fonnabon It
lost forever.·
But the challenge and
rewards outweigh those frus·
trabons. he said. Donate
your vehicle.

·Any murder where there
was blood eVldence 1S a good
cancbdate for a fresh DNA
exam,• Archer said. The sam-
pl are sent to the Orange
County Crime Lab.
Another case that caused a
sbr tn 1t.s time was the brula.I
sboollng of 33-year--old Mass-
achusetts businessman
Darnel Sweeney in 1978. He
was confronted in the lobby
of the South Coast Plaza hotel
dunng a robbery and shot
bve times.
·1r not 1ust mentally stim·
ulab.ng for us,· Archer said.
·but we also get the sabsfac-
bon of givmg the famlli

Corona delMar
During the height of Corona del Mar's success, former
athletic director was a major factor in every corner.
Mchefd Dunn swapped by the dillrict to

I t's not a boasUul thing, •
ll'1 a bull of reality:

said of the trad . "I'm aure they
were both traumatiz:ed. Tom was
great, but we were really sorry to
lo.e Dennis. He was excellent ...
the superintendent awitched
them. He Mid change wu good.
Maybe it Is sometimes.•
Long consklered the atandard
by which all athletic dlrecton are
compared. Davi.I set the coune
for an tncred.lble run at Corona
del Mar from 1967 through 1989,
a span ln wltlch no less than 24
CIP UUe banners. as well as two
state champlonsh1p banners.
were pinned up on the walls
uulde the gym.
·We bad so many league
chAmplonsh1ps and CIF
championships that it's
not falr for me to single
out any one team. and
I'm not sure I could.·
Davis M!d. ·1 think lbe
highlight for me was
when we decided to
bang all those CIF
banners In the gym (In
1980} ... most schools
hang league
Just lo scratch the surtace,
some of the sporting hl.ghllghts
at CdM when Davis was AD
included ClF buketba.ll titles

said In February 1990.
during his fln;l year of

plllUre near a creek when she was 5.
Already, Renkosk.l knew he
loved the sport. When sh began
attending eJementa.ry school he
played baseball with the boy& on the
playground beoluse there was no
girls squad.
Finally, the school organized a
summer softball progTam and
Renkosld jumped at the chance to
play on a team
·1·m the baby of eight luds and
was basically the first one of my
family to get to participate ln
athletics because everyone had to
work on the farm,• she said ·The
three sabllngs above me w&e boys

I got interested m sports I was
allowed to do 1t. •
Renk.ollu b.ll contrtbuted to the
fanuly's livelihood, hauling hay in
the swnmer and dnvmg the tractor
ln the fleJds. but he didn't have to
get up early in the mom.mg to nulk
cows. Her brothers took care of that
task.
The farm Renkoslu IJVed on was
stretched across 180 acres It had
rolling bills and typ1cal farm
animals. lots of them.
•When I grew up, we had beef
catUe, sold pork and when I was
really lltUe. my dad still raised crops
to sell.. Renkoskl said ·we hdd
duckens, everythmg you needed to
eat. We had a huge garden and ctn
orchard. My mom used to make
