NEWPORT BEACH -City and
county l~aders pushing an airport for
the closed Bl Toro Marine Corps Air

million combined over the last decade,
money that now may be forever lost
after Tuesday's Measure W vote.
Over those years, the Newport
Beach City Council authorized
Much of that total was spent on
lobbyists, legal advice, public rela-
tions efforts and other expenses
geared toward building a commercial
airport at the base, officials said.
Of course, the dty played a support-
ing role to the majority of Orange Coun-
ty supervisors, who funneled about $.SO
million tQ an airport planning arm.
The spending began shortly after
the Navy tabbed the El Toro base for
closure in 1993, when county plan-
ners launched their effort.
Fonner supervisor and airport
booster Bruce Nestande defended the
city's spending habit. Nestande led
Jim Silva, who represents Costa

Tuesday's election, authonzed the
spending. Silva co.uld not be reached

Nabarin is one of them. The
choreographer has two pieces
in the Barclay show -
"Minus 16" and also "Pas-

the folk song
"Greensleeves." When
asked to describe the

"Minus 16." the final

also difficult to confine to a

includes monologues
recorded by the dancers
and improvised dances
to these monologues.
"It is so many dif-
ferent things and in

cates contaminated water supplies, prostitu-
tion, recirculated air, global warming and
shortsighted politicians for disease's rampant

•While the human race battles itsell ..

there's a note of hope. It's within mankind's

tigative journalism with
"Betrayal otTrmt The Col-

in paperback. Focusing on
public health rather than
medical technology, she
exposes shocking weakness·
es in medical systems unpre-
pared to deal with major epidemics.
Noting that more than 100,000 Americans
die annually from infections caught in hospi-

expensive technology have been empha-
sized to the detriment of protecting human
health. In a world in which the health of
individual nations depends on the health of
all, she calls for a global
approach to insuring
humankind's well-being.

•Sometimes it's a little like

perfect example.
"He said he won't be back

AN OPEN LEnER TO THE COMMUNITY
TO THE MIMllRS .Of THI! COMMUIHTYs •
A s Newport Harbor cheerleaders, it b4s
been very hard to get our voices
heard during the whole controversy
that has been taking place at our school.
Most of us didn't say a word and waited
patiently for this whole dilemma to end, even
while our practices and games were post-
poned for a month until the final decision
was made regarding the squad sizes.
unfair to everyone.
Usa is not only a wonderful coach, ·but she
is an amazing person all a.round. She
believes in every one of us and helps every
cheerleader perform to her full potential. Lisa
spends countless hours pr4ctidng with us
and helping us perfect our dance technique.
But most importantly, Usa spends time
being our friend. Practice bas not been the
same without her. It seems as if most of the
energy is gone. It was incredibfy heartbreak-
ing after dancing at a rally a couple of weeks
ago and not seeing our coach's overjoyed
face smillilg back at us after we nailed our
wutine. A couple of the girls were crying
after we danced, but those were not tears of
joy, they were tears of sadness that could not
be held back any longer. It was almost as if
something was missing when we all looked
forward and didn't see Usa's #thumbs up•
sign showing us that we did OK.
had. How can a ichool take away a coach
who had so much passion for what she did?
How can an administration take away an
adult figure who teenagers had so much trust
an~ love for? Usa was more than just a coach
to us, she was our friend, our mentor, our
supporter. She taught us so much, and we
just don't see how someone can take that
away from us.
However, this situation has taken a tum
for the worse, anc:J unfortunately we are
affected by it greatly. ·
All 34 of us may go, to practice every day,
but our hearts definitely don't follow.
As members of the community, we are
asking for any help that we can get to keep
Lisa Ca.llaha.n as coach of O'ur squad. She
made u& the first-place team that we are, and
her job is irreplaceable. We've been through
enough as it is. Please don't let someone take
our coach away from us.
Thank you for your help.
As many know, our coach, Lisa Kolby
Callahan, was removed from her position last
month. Our vice principal and administrator
informed us that Lisa was never properly
hired 13 years ago and that she didn't have
the correct qualifications as a cheerleading
coach (her tuberculosis testing/Megan's Law/
fingerprinting, etc. were not up to date).
These details. can easily be fixed, but our
administration is still not allowing Ms. Calla-
han to resume her position as coach, for rea-
sons that our principal, Mike Vossen. states
as "personal.· In OU{ eyes, this is incredibly
We didn't have anyone performing back
with us at this rally. Lisa used to cheer us on
and each time she yelled, #Yeah!! That's itW
we got a rush of energy that let us know we
looked good. But not at this rally.

Castellanos, however, contends Eri-

vision.
"I think even if there had been a

said. ·1 don't think it was due to any-

Regarding her hiring status, Callahan
said she fulfilled all the requirements
about eight years ago and couldn't do
anything further unless the district
requested it, wluch she said they did not.
She said she is waiting for an invita-
tion from the school to come back on
her own terms.
In their letter, the cheerleaders
blame school offioais for acting vindic-
tively toward Callahan.
"These (hiring! details can easily be
fixed, but our administration is still not
allowing Ms. Callahan to resume her

Whoever's hot with the

NBWPORT BEACH -
Almost any professional • golfer can catch fire for a ,
weekend and win the
eighth annual Toshiba
Senior Classic, which TOSHIBA
opens for Senior PGA
Tour members today in the first round
at Newport Beach Counby Club.
"It's whoever gets hot,• said veteran
Larry Ziegler, who should know,
considering how his sizzling putter
propelled him to second place at the
Senior Tour National Qualifying
Tournament last fall, becoming the
second oldest player at 62 to earn an
exemption at Q School, after he lost
his card last year.
Ziegler, one of 78 pros in one of the
tour's strongest fields today through
Sunday, said Thm Watson, Hale lrw1n
and long bitter John Jacobs should be
some of the guys to watch atop the
leader board this weekend.
But Ben Crenshaw, one of the most
antiqpated rookies on the Senior Tour
in 2~2. could finally be a factor. since
Newport Beach ts one of the few golf
courses with which he's familiar.

DAILY PILOT
ANAHEIM -Demonstrating the principle that if there's
no room to pivot, there's no room to advance, a collapsing
UC Irvine defense made streaking Long Beach State play
Thursday night like the outside shot No. 7 seeds usually
represent.
The result was a 72-65 Big West Conference
Tournament quarterfinal victory for the No. 2-seeded
Anteaters (21-9), who advance to tonight's 8:30 semifinal
against No. ~-seeded UC Santa Barbara at the Anaheim
Convention Center. .
UCI center Adam Parada, a 7-foot sophomore, anchored
the inside defense for tt{e winners and also contributed
offensively. He finished with 17 points and 14 rebounds,
responding to Coach Pat Douglass' postgame lament
about the lack of play from his big men in an 86-70 loss at
Long Beach Feb. 31.
•Adam Parada really stepped up;" said Douglass,
whose conference co-champions are two wins away from
the school's first appearance in the NCAA Tournament.
·He really looked like a big man in the lane for us with his
defensive presence and his rebounding. And be madll
that hook shot look like (Kareem) Abdul-Jabbar. •
Parada's right-hand hook from 11 feet with 44 seconds
left, put ucr up. 68-63, to all but seal the victory for the
Anteaters, who had a week off lo
regroup and reconfigure their game
plan against the 49ers (13-17).
Part or that plan was constructing a
three-and four-man phone booth
around 6-8 senior center Travis Reed,
who ralli~d after a frustrating first half
(1 of 5 from the field) to finish with 13
points and 10 rebounds.
· •Adam and (Stanislav Zuzak.) did a
good job denying th~ ball to Reed and
, when he did get it, we had weakside
help,• Douglass said. •Any time Adam Parada
(Reed) had the ball, we had four guys
around him and kind of smothered him:
Reed used the same adjective, noting UCI's constant
defensive pressure, which resulted in a key charging call
on Reed with 1 :08 left and the 49ers trailing, 66-63.
"Irvine did a good job of always having at least two guys
on me inside,· Reed said. "They smothered us inside.·
With little to gain in the paint, Long Beach, which
came in on a five-game winning streak. cast away from the
perimeter. The 49ers finished 9 of 25 from three-point
range as Tony Darden (five) and Ron Johnson combined
for eight three-pointers.
Irvine, however, got 22 of its 25 field goals inside the
19-foot-9 stripe as senior two-time Big West Player of the
Year Jerry Green penetrated for most of his game-high 23
points.
Green, Parada and junior Jordan Harris (15 points)
took over in the second half, combining to score all but five
of the 'Eaters 39 after intermission .
A Harrt.s three-pointer and two Greett layups expanded
Lrvine's 33-27 halftime lead to 46-34 with 14:29 left in the
game.
But Long Beach answered with a 9-0 run, then
proceeded to inch to within 50-49 with 8:16 left.
Parada hit a tree. throw, then assisted from the high post
on a Harris layup to give UCl a four-point cushion.
Prom there, Long Beach, which lnissed 6 of 9 free
throws in the final 7:44, never got closer than two.
Parada's 7-for-1' field-goal shooting included a second
eight-foot sky hook in the lane and two reverse-layup
follow shots as he sailed, back to the baseline. under the
rim. He also blodted two shots.
Green who went the first 11 minutes without a field goel.
was 9 of 11 from the foul line, including two free throws
just 12 seconds after Long Beach cut it to 50-49.
Green also converted a traditional three-point play to
give his team a six-point edge with 2:31 rema1n1ng.
Zuzak, a. 6·10 sophomore, had 10 points in his return
to the starting lineup, while 6-7 sophomore forward Matt
Okoro added eight rebounds and a blocked shot off the
bench.

Dougherty was referring to his win at

at TifCany Greens in Kansas City, Mo
Dougherty started out as a club pro
