S-hge2 SERVING THE NEWPORT -Ni.SA COMMUNmES SINCE 1907 ON 1HE WEB: WWW.DAILYPILOT.COM 1UESDAY, MARCH 19, 2002 Mesa Verde man held on molestation allegations •Police say the 71-year-old will be charged with committing a lewd act on a 12-year-oldgirl Lolita Harper D AILY PILOT COSTA MESA Police are investigating allegations' that a 71- year-old Costa Mesa man molested a 12-year-old girl wbo reported she was attacked Saturday while selling candy. Costa Mesa Police Lt. Dale Bir- ney said Mesa Verde resident James Harper was arrested Saturday and will be charged with committing a lewd act on a child and kidnapping. Harper could face one to 12 years in prison if convicted. Birney said the investigation is ongoing and officers are looking into the possibility there are addi- tional victims. Harper is being held in OFange County Jail. The girl, whom the Daily Pilot has declined to identify because of her age, told police she was selling can- dy on Redwood Avenue for a school fund-raiser when she allegedly had the encounter with Harper. •He seemed like a nice man,• the girl said in an interview Mon- day. •I thought be wanted to buy some candy." She left bis house shaking, she said, and went to her friend's home, where she broke down in tears. "I wasn't going to tell anyone," she said. "But then I got sad, and I told my friend." The two girls then told the vic- tim's mom, who inunediately called police. "I don't want him to live by me," the girl said. Her family members said they are shocked that sometlung like this could happen Ill such a nice, seem- ingly quiet neighborhood -a neighborhood they moved into just a month ago. "I never imagined anything like this could happen to one of my kids," the gul's motber said. "I told ber to stay in the (area) because I thought it would be safer." The girl's mother said she wor: ried about her daughter and added that she was proud of her for telling someone about the alleged incident. People need to know that these things happen, the mother said, and not sweep them under the rug. The 12-year-old has been acting differently since the alleged inci- dent, playing by herself and not wanting to go outside, family mem- bers said. She agreed, saying she tries to forget about it and play with friends and siblings. But when it IS dark and she's alone at night, the unages of the alleged mcident creep back in her mind, she said. "I can't go to sleep at night now," she said. • LOUTA HARPER covers Costa Mesa. She may be reached at (949) 574-4275 or by e- mail at lolita.harperO/atimes.com . .

More security in place at Big Canyon BRANCHING OUT • Newport's main water $Upp ly is under tighter control following the September terrorist attacks. year, but levels are back down to what they normally are this time of year,.. said Eldon David.son of the city's Public Works Department. June C.Q9r•nde DAllY PILOT NEWPORT BEACH -In response to the Sept. 11 ter- rorist attacks, city officials have added a number of security measures at Big Canyon Reservoir. "We don't like to publld.ze the specifics of what's been done there, but, absOlutely, !-here are some greatly increased security mea- sures,• City Manager Homt!r filudau said. "Based upon those measures, we have caught some people who have gamed unauthorized access to the area.• Bludau said the people caught in the restricted area near the reservoir were skateboarders and that there was no indication that the intruders posed any thr~at to public safety. Further details of the incident were not available. "It's important people know that we're doing some- thing to protect it,• said City CoWicilman John Heffernan, whose district includes the reseivoir area. The heightened security ,measure11 coincide with a midge fly larvae infestation that closed the reseivoir in late February. After some residents reported seeing what appeared to be tiny, translucent worms 1n their tap water and toilets, the oty stopped all water service from the r~servoir. After treating the w'ater with extra chlorine and with copper sul- fate, which kills the algae on which the flies feed, the reservoir was put back to use on March 7. "They're not 100% gone, they never are this time of Heffernan said such natur- al hazards are just one more re~on to press for further protections of the reservoir, which is the city's main source of water. Newport Beach officials are seeking federal funds to help cover the cost of a large plastic cover for the reservoir. The cover is estqnated to cost between $4 million and $5 million. City officials have asked California Sens. Bar- bara Boxer and Dianne Fein- stein, as well as Rep. Chris Cox, to help the city secure the funding for the cover. The 200-gallon reservolf supplies 100% of Newport Beach's water during the \\Ut- ter months and about 75% during the summer, when increased demand requires the city to import water from local water agencies. City rethinks rent hikes at Marinapark • Whether increases to the peninsula's market value are fair is under consideration. June Casagrande DAJLY PILOT NEWPORT BEACH - City officials are reconsider- ing a plan to raise Marina- pa.rk residents' rents after an expert weighed in that a pro- posed property appraisal would be like comparing apples and oranges. City Council members agreed March 12 to hire appraisers to detennlne a fair monthly rent on the 56 mobile home park lots, where leases have just expired. But one appraiser, working on behalf of the residents, has written to the city to argue that appraisals don't apply because the city is offering only a one-year lease with two one-year extension options. "Comparing their rents to other mobile home parks really isn't fair.· said Bill Han- son, an appraiser who wrote to city officials last week on the Marinapark residents' behalf. "In an appraisal, we try to measure how things would do on the open market, but the terms of that lease are not measurable on open mar- ket because it's just a one- year lease." He described the proposed lease extension as similar to a "lease holdover." Such situa- tions, he said, are usually decided by negotiation between the landlord and tenants and not by property appraisals. Assistant Ci~y Manager Dave Kiff said he is reconsid- ering whether hiring more appraisers would be the best way to resolve the situation. "(Thef council decided to have a third-party appraise~ look at it, and now one appraiser has," said Ki.ff, not- ing that the city has often hired Hanson to do appraisals. ·we have to decide now whether to go ahead and hire more apprais- ers or bring this back to the City Council to ask if they want to reconsider.• The mobile home park residents' lease expired last week. C ity officials have advocated extend.ing their stay for a short time to allow for the possibility of a 147- room luxury resort to be built there by Sutherland Talia Hospitality. The mobile home park residents' origi- nal lease on the city-owned property includes a provision tbat the residents would vacate one day to allow the city to put the land to some public use. The city has proposed a one-year lease extension that would bring the rents to mar- ket rates, comparable with those at nearby mobile home parks. This would roughly double most Marinapark rents, bringing the $1 ,362-a- month lots up to $2,300 and the $925 lots up to $1,950. 1Wo years ago, residents offered to begin paying mar- ket rates in return for a long- term lease. But they have protested the city's proposal to sharply increase thelf rents without a long-term lease, call- ing it unfair and unrealistlc. "Those rates would be fair if you were talking about a longer-term situation,• Han- son said. •But in this case, they don't a pply.· 115~ Mattress Outlet Store BRAND NEW· COSMETICALLY IMPERFECT Ger the Best tor Less!

I can never tell them apart, but my friend Chuck Master~ insisted he could. It was not surprising that Chuck would know the car- toorusts. He had a wonderful capacity to meet and know mterestmg people, and he liked to dnnk, so he fit right m. Chuck was my favorite dnnk- mg companion wttil he died, and not even the approach of death could bow him. At my last meeting wtth tum, he and I shared a ldSl drink us111g those bendable hospital straws. Despite that. I'm not sure that Chuck could really tell the lnterlandis apart. I nev- er put tum to the test. The cartoonists used to meet at a certain bar in Lagu- na Beach. l would identUy the bar except that they kept changing bars and if I tried to identify them all, it would be simply a directory of bars. Why these people became cartoonists I haven't the fog- giest idea, but I must say the world is immensely better off for having them here. They almost invariably have an iconoclastic look on We that lets them detect the foibles and hypocrisies of daily life. ~ether they pay their bills on time or cheat on their W1VeS r don't know, but I've never met a stupid cartoorust. Some wimps, I suppose, but never one who was petty or disagreeable. The cartoonists I've met are loyal to their friends, which I consider a big plus on the calendar of human character, and I feel grateful to Virgil Partch for introducing them to me. • ROBERT GARDNER is a Corona del Mar resident and a former judge.

But so many seniors were shocked by the winners' names that the uproar com- pelled school officials to investigate the voting tally. And unlike an earlier con- troversy at the school this year in which the judging of cheerleader tryouts was eventually deemed fair, the checking turned up surpris- ing results. One of the girls on the yearbook staff admitted she had chosen the winners her- self when she took the votes home to count.

"Amanda's a really spe- cial kid. She's had a hard time fitting in. To be acknowledged for her art was like finally being noticed,• said Corrie Rausch, Brown's special education teacher. "It was the wrong kid for it to hap- pen to. For others, it just rolled off their backs.• Reeling from the slight, Brown and her mother con- fronted school officials and demanded that Brown's artistic talent be recognized. Assistant Pnnc1pal David Peterson offered to rectify the situation by giving her a special award certificate and plaque and hanging her drawings up in the school's main office. "(Amanda Brown) is a very good artist,• Peterson said. "I had the chance to look at sqme of her artwork and wanted lo acknowledge her ability." Peterson said he didn't know how the school would handle the situation if other students who had won in the first voting, but not the sec· ond, complained. But to prevent the voting from being manipulated in the future, Janine Pon, the staff advisor for the year- book, said students would no longer be allowed to count the Senior Superlative votes. For Brown, the chance to have her artwork displayed at the school is artistic jus- tice. •It makes me feel really nattered.

Standardized testing can appeal to students ... A s we enter a new era of civilization and begin to undergo the mass quantifi- cation of life itself, everything must be represented in tidy little numbers. The goal ls no different in regard to public schooling, and what better way to tally up the intelligence of students and teach- ing abilities of instructors than good old standardi~ed testing? Give all students in a state the same test so you can gauge, com .. pare and, ultimately, judge their performances on a fair and equal basis. However, in its simplicity lies its complexity. The chief concern with stan- dardized testing is, of course, apa- thy. So, measures must be taken to ensure that teachers and stu- dents alike try their hardest for such an immeasurably important event. Unfortunately, laws have been creat(!d to avert negative reinforcement, so we're left with an incentive sys- tem. Methods such as funding, funding and funding have been devised to keep fhe admin- istrations in line. Money is infi- nitely important Matt M edith to the schools. In er fact, witb just a couple million more dollars, we couJd probably run the schools in the absence of faculty. Only then would the pin- nacle of human development be reached. But what about the students? After all, we're the ones who take the tests. What's in it for us? Absolutely nothing. Do you think we could give a flying J;ioot whether our school gets an extra $10,000? It's not like we see any of the money. We all know that mil- lion-dollar grants go toward com- puters that cost more than small Japanese cars, as anonymous Swiss bank accounts mysteriously grow larger and larger. So, we need inc;entives. Creative, appeal· ing incentives. Airline miles, life- time supplies of pudding, a spot on the •Real World" after gradua- tion, tickets to Britney Spears' concerts, a job at Starbucks - things that high school students can relate to. But all of these cost valuable dollars. Thus, the question remains: What bas absolutely no practical purpose or tangible meaning. to students, yet interests them nonetheless? For those of you who said independent thought, kudos. After years of public schooling, it should be clear to students that independent thought has no place in the •real• world, yet we are still fascinated by its poetic beau- ty. Therefore, if the need for inde- pendent thought was somehow implemented into these tests as a clever ploy, dimwitted teens would be fooled Into having some interest in the test. The graders could, of course, instantly throw away the questions that require thinking -better yet, bum them, in case ideas were to spread -for the mere existence of those .ques- tions woUld accomplish tBe task. Students would attack the tests with vigor and excitement, scores would be high, and the govern- ment would award the districts with funding, funding and per- haps funding.

U this report was describing stu- dents in the United States, California or Newport Beach, then they would have added that the students were deficient In geography and foreign languages.

Now having gone lo Newport Ele· mehta.ry, Horace Ensign Intermediate School and Newport Harbor High School, I feel I was very lucky and for· lunate to have had teachers that encouraged me and everyone else to learn.

Northwood Coach John Gaido said serving was the difference. "Their serving was excellent and we missed some serves at key times,• Gaido said. "You can't make those mistakes against teams like Newport, because they will gobble those up and make you pay. I thought Newport played very well.· Newport, however. had one more selVlce error than the T-wolves (6- 5 ).

The Foothill Division, including CdM. dlvlded into two pools, with each school playing the other three in its pool once. They then paired off with schools from the other pool tor a fourth game. Of course it took about three games into the event to figure this format out, by which time, we'd already misled readers and confused ourselves beyond frustration. Finally. both pools intermingled to milk the fifth game allotted teams ln a 24-team tournament. Hence, Costa Mesa finished up with a loss after playing and winning its division title game seven days before. So, after typing the phrase •in the fifth-place game or the Newport Elks Tournament's Costa Mesa Division," we had to try -and Inevitably fall -to come up with a way to describe a meaningless final •tack-on" game in some way that made sense.

Another source of constemaUon ln our newsroom recently was Corona del Mar Higb's decision not to score two season-opening track and field trl-meets. I wondered aloud if every athlete had received a hug and a ribbon at the finish line, at the expense of competition. But, upon further investigation, Sea Kings boys and girls coach Bill Sumner at least bad a good excuse. Turns out, Sumner knew running a three-way meet wouJd be exponentially more difficult than the typical dual meet and be turned out to be correct. He didn't want to be scoring the meet, run out ot light to contest the final event(s) and come off looking like, well, the guys running the Newport Elles Tournament. Sumner said he and bis staff of volunteers, including several parents, learned a great deal about 1J'Oning out potential kinks in the process and he'll be happy to score trl-meets next season.
