He arrived at the commercial complex :where he and his family have operated their furniture and upholstery business for the last 17 years only to see 40-foot flames leaping sky- ward. "There was so much smoke, fire and water and all these firefigbte in their suits,· he said. -~·.--~~o •,-.-.ipauu """' whole place looked like another planet.• The flames that had bwned through Burg- er's couches, leather and silk upholstery also devastated 10 other offices in the building on Brioso Drive. It tdok more than 100 firefighters from five cities close to four hours to contain the fire. No one was injured. On Monday, business owners and employ- ees looked into the building in disbelief. Most of the offices were charred beyond recognition. Wires bung loose and in bunches from the ceilings, ripped and blackened. Ceiling and floor beams appeared melted and twisted out of shape. A notice board with flyers, charts and mem- os survived in one of the still smoldering offices and stood out as an odd remnant of a workplace that used to be. What was once a conference room until Sun- day evening looked like a black and white pic- ture on a yellowed page from some unknown war story, the room's ceiling crumbling and once plush, leather chairs ripped, exposing sag- ging, yellow cushion.

S..P9992 TUESDAY, MARCH 12, 2002 Countytp consider • • ra.Jsmg JWAfees • Supervisors may increase parking rates and other expenses to offset financial losses at the airport. Deirdre Newman DAILY PILOT JOHN WAYNE AIRPORT - Passengers at the airport may soon have to pack more cash into their wallets to cover park- ing and other expenses 'The Board of Supervisors will dec1de today on whether to impose moderate fee hikes as a way to counteract the auport's financial losses since the Sept 11 terronst attacks. The fee tukes are necessary to keep the auport runrung safely while remaining financially healthy. said Alan Murphy. the auport's duector The rate hikes would affect public parkmg. parkmg pemuts, county hangar space and ground transportation. The issue had been deferred since December to enable airport officials to apply for grant funding for security-related projects and to consider the amount of flights for each airline. The airport has applled for about $9.5 million in grant fund- mg while the number of flights are sunilar to those m preVlous years, said airport spokeswoman Ann McCarley. While the board origmally had three options to choose from - the status QlJO, a moderate rate increase and a more severe fee hike -the tugber increase was deemed unnecessary to meet the airports' essential safety and operational needs. So the board will now cons1der onJy the moderate rate hlke, which would increase public parking in the terminal form $1 per hour or $11 per day to $1 per hour or $17 per day. The net loss for the fiscal year has also been revised. In Decem- ber, offidals estimated a loss of about $10 million. Now it looks doser to $4.5 millioo because pas- senger levels didn't drop as much as previously predicted, the atr- port changed the way it calcu- lates revenue and Measure W passed. Originally, county oftl- oals expected to spend more money toward the development of an mtemabonal airport at the former El Toro Marine Corps Au • Station. U the rate increases are approved, however, officia.ls are projecting a net loss of only about $2.9 million. U approved, the inaeases will take effect in April. In December, a ma1ority of SUpetVlSOTS posl· poned a decision on the hikes on a familiar 3-2 airport-issue vote. 111111 lllTS II QllSllOll Tht fut&n of tt. .--a of tht ~Mabl9home Ii once~ before thl Nlw- part 9Md\ acr C.oundL My IOl•••at on ..

Sb.ldents at Adams Elemen- tary School in Costa Me&a learned all about fairness last week when they presented a play about shar- ing the chocolaty treats. The play enabled the second- gTaders to become familiar with the concept of fairness in a fun way as part of the school's "Char- acter Counts" campaign. This is the first year the school has embarked on a comprehensive character campaign, which includes seven different facets of character. Teacher Christina Price first dis- cussed fairness with her students, creating a poster board that hangs in the front of the classroom with examples like •playing by the SCHOOL lUNCH MENU The Newport•Mesa Unified sfut District offers l11en\I choices each day at elemen- tary schools.

Larson had a highly per- sonalized telephone person- ality. If the phone rang and you picked up the receiver and a voice gave you the local latitude and longitude, you knew it was Larson. He was not the most reli- able man in town. For exam- ple, he was once arrested on some minor charge and I got him off on the promise of a dozen bull lobsters. Never got a one. The last ti.me I saw Lar- son, we were having a drink together at a bar in San Clemente. The door opened, a cop appeared and Larson took off like an Olympic hurdles champion, leaping from table top to table top with an appropriate crash- ing of glasses at each table. I haven't heard from him since then, but if the phone ever rings and a voice gives me longitude and latitude, I'll know that Peanuts Lar- son is alive and well - probably some place where the water is warm and the surf is close to perfect. • ROBEJn' GARDNER Is a Corona del Mar resident and a former judge.

IGENDA STUDYING THE SIGNS The question of what to do about city sign~ will likely be addressed tonight. Council mem- bers agree that the city has a problem with its signs directing motorists and visitors t hroughout the city: Some areas suf- fer from "sign clutter, H signs have an inconsis- tent look and some land- marks, such as City Hall, need to be better announced by signs. Tonight the council will reconsider a contract with Hunt Design Associ- ates for $80,500 to take care of the problem. WHAT TO EXPECT: At last month's study session, Mayor Tod Ridgeway predicted that, in light of changes the design firm has made to its original bid with the city, it's likely that it will be awarded the contract tonight.

MARINAPARK RENTS IN QUESTION The future of the resi- dents of the Marinapark mobile homes will again come before the counci l. Officials will consider whether to extend their leases for at least a year. The agreement could mean some hefty rent increases for the resi- dents, with help for those who might suffer a financial hardship. The increase, some officials say, is just the result of bringing to market rent rates that were held arti- ficially low for about 15 years. This was to com- pensate the residents in advance for the fact that eventually they would have to move from the city-owned land. WHAT TO EXPECT: In this matter, the devil is in the details. Some Marinapark resi- dents disagree with city officials about some ele- ments of the original lease. The issue got so confusing at the last council meeting that Councilman Gary Adams has asked staff to set the record straight. Celestino's ._ quality MEATS ..

If this is so, why doesn't the Daily PUot ask Franco to explain to them and the community why recommendations made by their Community Involvement Task Force, after meeting for months during the evening, were summarily "shelved# by the district, never to be heard of again?

Doily Pilot SenioritiS haS 1Jeen gming around H igh school has always been thought of as a time of great development and learning, which in tum introduces various fonns of pressure and realistic predicaments. In our society, full of fierce competition and turmoil, students are eagerly encouraged to excel academically at an early age so tbat they have more opportunities to choose from in-the future. Colle!;Je is often a step 'that students choose to take after high school, and to get to that level, yeafS of hard work and academic dedicationts necessary. While being a diligent student is never easy, it seems to be even more of a challenge for high school seniors, who at this point have less than one semester left before starting a new chapter in thejr lives. Symptoms such as the extreme inabil- ity to stay awake in class or the lack of motivation to complete basic assign- ments combine to make what is com- monly called •senioritis. • While it is capable of st:rikin.g at any time, the vast majority of students seem to find them- selves being most severely plagued dur- ing their second semester of senior year. By this time, many have already established their plans for the following year and, in comparison, high school seems unbelievably dull and irrelevant. College acceptances are great. They Gracie R. Kazer provide students with a marvelous sense of comfort and positive anticipation. However, they also tempt students to fall into a world of complete academic lazi- ness and inactivity. Once their spot is reserved, it seems that the work has paid off and the idea of struggling through three more months of school seems pointless. · Something that most of those afflicted with senioritis do not seem to be aware of (or choose to ignore), is the fact that many colleges today do look at grades from both semesters of senior year. Should an admissions board fall upon some disappointing grades, it is always a possibility that a students' acceptance could be revoked. University of California schools are notorious for using eighth semester READE~S ftESPO!tD grades as a final admission factor. The truth is that although much of senior year is focused on waiting for results and various forms of celebration, there are still responsibilities that must be taken care of. It would be terrible to limit one- self after making it this far, especially when it was due to something so ridicu- lous as being lazy. After years of hard work and a great amount of anxiety, the entire class of · 2002 has a lot to look forward to, asswn- . ing their performance in the next few months remains adequate. Being a senior means being recognized for .past accomplishments and being prepared to tackle new ones. There is a lot of fun that goes along with it as well, and one should enjoy every moment of it, as long as their cur- rent actions won't harm them later on. It is completely normal for slight cases of senioritis to occur, and probably even healthy. Moderation is the key in this case, just as it is in many other situa- tions. Good luck to the rest of the senior class in getting through the next few months without too much difficulty. • GRACE R.

R~idents push ~fJ>r-places to skate AT ISSUE: No permanent skate park exists in Newport-Mesa, though Costa Mesa has a temporary and mobile park for skateboarders. I t's a real letdown for me as a Newport Beach resident, and mother of three, to see how our Newport Beach City Council is handling the skate- boarding issue. If we're not going to build a skateboard park, then why implement an ordinance that further penal- izes skateboarders? ("Newport adds skateboard resmctions, • Jan. 24). Do we really believe that posting signs and having our cops chase after our sons is the sensible solution? Let's take a hint from our neighbors in Costa Mesa. They have also had a great traveling skate park program that temporarily sets up ramps and provides safety equipment so that kids can enjoy skate- boarding in the appropriate setting. This sure beats mak- ing laws and trying to banish skateboarders who, like all residents, are entitled to enjoy their sport of choice in city parks. Ordinan~s do nothing to promote a sense of community, and isn't thl!t what really mat- ters? JENNY BIOCHE . Newport Beach This is in response to the story regarding th& destruction DON LEACH I DAllY PILOT A skaterboarder practices near the beach in Newport Beach. of public property due to skate boarding (•Skateboarders roll front and center,# Jan. 29). Gee, I wonder why there is such ramp~t destruction? And what do our fearless lead- ers propose? To crack down even harder on the perpetra- tors? City officials have the nerve to suggest a more puni- tive response, rather than find a solution that would provide the skateboarders a place to skate. Oh, wait a minute, I forgot. There once was a plan to build a skate park, where the children could skate freely on equipment that was deemed suitable, as well as safe - one that would preserve Uie use of public property rather than harm lt. If one were to observe other beach commu- nities, it wouni be noted that they almost all have skate parks -and I would specu- late that those cities do not have problems with destruc· tion of walls, benches, etc., as in the case of Newport Beach. ln conclusion, it should cotne as no surprise fo anyone that there are broken tiles and sidewalks in our city -if you don't build a park, they will not ~top skating1 they will siln- ply skate elsewhere, and it .might not be where you want them to be.

Nolan, true to the T Newport Harbor lower-level coach made a big impact in a very short time. 0 ne of the most successful middleweight football coaches at Newport I !arbor HJgh in the early years was a tall, Jean-framed art jnslructor named John ~Jack• Nolan. In fact, be was only al Newport for t)uee years, but the GaUeon yearbook stall aedlcated the 1946 yedrbook to him. Hence, his popularity was wide spread. He made friends easily. Nolan's •44 Bee team was unbeaten. rt tied three games and won four, but missed the title. His '45 team downed all rivals by wide margins save for Andhellll m the final, a 13-0 loss. The Tars were favored unW star quarterback Ronnie Runa was injured before the game and did not play BW Gustafson, a '48 VcU'S1ty halfback, indicated the '46 Nolan-led Bees got pdst Garden Grove and Orange. bu't lost five otheJS. One of the impressive Uungs to Nolan's '44 right halfback Horacl' Silva was Nolan's installation of the T-fonnat1on. Many oldtimers Uunk the T·fonnation first came from varsity coach Al Irwin in '48. But Les Miller, 1943-45, did expenment with tt briefly. Silva said the team moved well Wi · the T-formatJon offense and that Harold Van de Walker was the quarterback before Rima in '45. -...o~,~J3ee~ in '43, under Cbeii:Ustrf teacher Kingery Whiteneck, were operating out of the old short punt formation, wh.ach was used by Wendell Pickens in 1940-42 and again an t 946-47 after he returned from mtl1tdry <;erv1ce during WWII. Whiteneck later -.crved dS dn d'>\1stant to Pickens in the fall of '46 Silva said Noldn, "wa<; a real good guy HELP WANTED and was not strict." "(Nolan) was a quiet man with a good sense of hwnor. • Silva said. •tte was compassionate with his playen and was strong on the fundamentals of blocking and tacklin9 .• the varsity or '46, a team that I.led the defending CJP champion Santa Ana Saints at the Santa Ana Bowl during a wild dust storm, 13-13. The noted players were Lowi. Mello, Roger Hillhouse, Ed f'lanson, Bill Roberts, Annando Monoco, Ronnie Othmer. Bill Brownie. Don Scott and Buzz Chambers. With some amusement. Silva said, ~1 also had Nolan running the study halls I attended and he often in\tited me up lo his table so that I could give him my thoughts about T-formation plays he was diagraming .• Don Contrell SIDELINES Bob Berry began Jill Newport football playing days as a freshman on the '45 Bee team, then skipped a year to work on d "I think be came here from northern CaWornia and I think he went to Yosemite when he left Newport after the war ended,• Silva added. "He used to go to Yosemite every summer and serve as a ranger. He loved the great outdoors and helping people. 1 dropped by once and the rangers told me he was in the mountains looking for lost parties, so I JUSt chose to leave a message.• Boyd Horrell. a top '47 gridder, said, "Nolan was my art teacher 4Jld hew~ a super guy.• Nolan's '45 season started oo a high note with the war ending. Eighty-seven players turned out for the Bee team and he wound up with a fast, scrappy and tough squad with great balance. There were no Cees during the war. Les Miller took charge of the Cees in '46. One '45 Bee player, Roy Ward, advanced to the varsity, then went on to Cal Berkeley, where he became a first-string end under the famed "Pappy" Waldorf and went to the Rose Bowl. Another '45 ace was halfback Bob Watts. Class of '50, who helped the '49 varsity to an 8-1 record as the dub scored 323 points during the season. Watts was also on the '51 champ team at Orange Coast College. Numerous '45 pldyers also advanced to Costa Mesa farm before retwrung to football alter encouragement from the Hanson brothers, Fritz and Ed "Doc." Berry became a ma1or star in the Sunset League an '47 and repeated lus sterlmg per1onnances in 1948 and '49. The CIF co·champ1ons of '48. St. Anthony HJgh's Sauus, honored him after the '48 season by placing him on their all-opponent team, along with Tar end Bob Thompi;on, a second· team All·CIF select.Jon. Fullerton High, the champions of the SWlSet League in '47, lost to Newport. 7-0, as Berry impressed Coach Dick Spdulchng "Bob Berry is one of the finest sophomore backs I have ever seen," Spaulding smd. Efforts to locate Nolan or to bring his story up to date, regretfully, have found no answers. In summation, Nolan defmitely hdd the talent and good cheer, but ~ hrst two Bee teams were loaded with skills and hne potential on lbe field Although Buzz Chambers was a hne runner for the '45 Bees and a good passer on the '46 varsity squad. tus career at Willamette Uruvers1ty found him confined to merely handhng the punting chores for the Bearcat.s.
