Keeping· child predators at bay
• Educating children and
monitoring their habits and
activities is an important step.
Deepa Bharath
DAILY PILOT
NEWPORT-MESA -Keeping
children safe today takes much
more than telling them not to tape to
strangers.
It's a sad fact a few local parents
have found out the hard way.
LaSt week, a 12-year-old Costa
Mesa girl told police she was
touched lnap-
propriately by
a 71-year-old
man while she
was selling
~ candy door to
door for a
school project in the affluent Mesa
Verde neighborhood.
Earlier this month, 54-year-old
Thomas Michael Murphy of Balboa
Island received 15 years to life for
molesting three young girls in his
neighborhood.
Officials say most of these aimes
can be prevented through education.
"I think it starts at home," said
Newport Beach Police Det Teri Fis-
cher, who was one of the investiga-
tors in the Murphy case.
"Parents should talk to their chil-
dren about what kind of touching is
appropriate and what's not,• she said.
Fischer said it is important for
parents to foster a relationship that
encourages an open discussion and
one that allows their children to con-
fide in them.
•A lot of times, children are
afraid to tell their parents," she said.
"They're afraid they're not going to
be believed or they feel it's some-
how their fault and they are going to
be disciplined for fl.·

Torres said. ·vou don't want your

Parents also tend to harbor sever-
aJ myths about pedophiles, officials
and child advocates say.
"School is an appropriate place
for children to be taught what a good
touch and bad touch is,• he said.
Such education is challenging
because it is difficult to explain to chil-
dren how to draw the line between
caution and paranoia, he said.

•Homeowners should always be aware
of their right to seek out competitive
bids,• Building Director Jay Elbettar said.
"No one has an exdusive right to do work
on your home, especially if they have a
permit you didn't authorize."
Elbettar said this type of thing cap hap-
pen m places where it's public information
that work must be done.
For example, on Balboa Island where
utilities are being moved underground,
many homes are on reco.rd as needing
some work done. Also, any eartbquake-or
flood-damaged property where the city
has surveyed the damage becomes part of
the public record. Contractors can look up
which homes need work done, obtain a
permit to work there and then use that
permit in a misrep:resentative way, Elbet·
tar said.
Also, he said, there have been known
cases where contracton have tried to
pressure homeownen into providing
earthquake upgrades on older hom•.

1his election year
not exactly a gas
A hoy.
Last week's column about
MTBE (methyl tertiary-
butyl ether) in the gasoline
spurred many comments from
boaters about how they are being
very conscious with fueling and
upgrading their outboards to the
new four strokes. Also since then,
a lot of media have focused on the
JSsue because Gov. Davis decided
to extend ~E's phaseout peri-
od to the end of 2003. One major
reason given is that federal law
mandates an oxygenated additive
in the gasoline now, which is
either MTBE or ethanol.
However, I think in an elec-
tion year Davis will do every-
Uung not to cause another ener-
gy debacle, hampering his
chances of reelection. That is
why I believe the phaseout peri-
od was pushed far enough past
the election. I stand furn that
MTBE is useless and is a political
game; just follow the money to
who produces MTBE or to the
ethanol-producing farmers.
last week. while my wife and I
bought a car at Theodore Robins
Ford, I spoke with Bob Robins,
who is very active in the communi·
ty and knowled.gea.ble of gasoline
issues. Bob mentioned that it is
impracticable to produce enough
ethanol a.bd then transport it to ,
California. This would pra.ctica1ly
double the prioe at the pump.
Bob also mentioned a few Los
Angeles Tunes articles that point
out the new gasoline formulation
mixtures meet the clean air stan-
dards without the need to add
any oxygenates.
So, r see the battle on two
fronts, one with the governor and
one with the Environmental Pro-
tection Agency. I wge you to con·
tact your state and federal repre-
sentatives to end the practice of
adding oxygeno~ to gasoline
unless IOIDeOlle can prove other-
wise relating to the risks and costs.

For those of you who like to
fish, the California Department of
Fish and Game have released
three publications listing regula-
tions and research information.
The first two are the 2002 ocean
sport fishing regulations divided
into two separate booklets -
ocean waters and inland waters.
These useful publications
include information such as pho-
tos and drawings of fish, all
applicable regulations by species
and managftroent area listings.
Keep in mind, California Sheep-
head, kelp bass, barred sand
bass and spotted sand bass are
omitted from the booklets since
there are no changes from the
previous year. It's a shame to ·
omit these fish because for some,
this is your first year to get the
booklets or you may have thrown
out your old booklet when you
received your new 2002 booklet.

Game has published a new book,
"Califomie.'s Living Marine

This week a question comes via
e-mail from one ot my two Joyal
readers: "Why do some boats have
a sticker th.at looks like license
plate numbers on the bow and
other boats do not ha,ve any type
of licensing showing on the boat?"
1 think not only does this con-
fuse boaters, but many are afraid
to ask at the yacht club.
Almost all watercraft -
whether a boat. vessel, ship, raft.
dinghy, etc. -must be registered
with the U.S. Cqast Guard or the
state's Department of Motor Vehi-
cles. The few exceptions that do
not require licensing are, for exam-
ple, a small sabot sailboat without
an engine attached.. a canoe-type
vessel powered only by OCUS and
some tender vessels to ships.
Vessels with the numbers dis-
played on the bow are typically
boats under 30 to 40 feet and are
used solely for recreational cruis·
ing. In California, we call these
vessels CF'd registration -CF
meaning California.
Larger boats, sbips and all
commercial vessels are docu-
mented with the coast guard and
do not typically display any num-
bers. These boats have a docu-
mentation number affixed to
their internal structure and use
the vessel's name and hailing
port for identification.
So when do you document ver-
sus CF? If your vessel is over five
gross tons (internal size calcula-
tions not the actual vessel weight),
used for commercial purposes or
travel internationally (including
Mexico}, documentation is for you.
Say you sail only m Newport with
your cat-rigged dinghy, then CF If
you want to document, I recom-
mend calling one of the documen-
tation companies in Newport to file
tbe paperwork for you with the
Coast Guard. Keep in m1nd that
your SS.foot yacht will be docu-
mented with the Coast Guard, and
the dinghy ca.rrled onboerd th.at
yacht will be CFd with the state.
Safe voyages.

Jeffrey Hutter, the

the decision on behalf

she is concerned that
two two-story structures
would be on the same

the project is incompati-

worried about. On the other

In a world that is becoming

ents should not worry about
their child's right t~rivacy,
Rogers said.
"Bad thblgs can happen
within 100 feet of your
home, • she said. •It could
happen on their way to
school, to the park or to a
frieqd's p~ce. •
The lesson in all of this 1s
ultimately to educate chil-
dren, Rogers said.
"If a child doesn't instinc-
tively know what to do and If
they hesitate even for a
minute, they could be victim-
ized,• she said.
Sometimes, parents also
tend to send contradicting
messages to their children,
Rogers said.
"They tell kids not to talk
to strangers but if a relative
wants to hug their child and
he or she is uncomfortable
with it, they fear feelings a.re
being hurt,• she said.
"If your kid feels uncom-
fortable with Aunt Mary's
hug, he or she needs to real-
ize and parents need to tell
him or her that it's OK to be

Senior Jonnl Seymour and fre1hman

most all of them were coaches who
took time olf to earn a c:;heck by
officiating a prep game. That
always amused the late Les Miller,
a coach who sometimes officiated
games at neighboring schools.
nouble ls, the bandleader, Clint
Swain, strolled through the doot,

laughing. He looked skyward, saw
Noble and chose to order him to,

However, Blue, the '.(2

Seymour defeated Irene Kak:ulia, 6-1,

2 singles winner aver KdsUna Arutjunova.
Miller was working a HM3 game
once when he observed a leader on
one team taking the snap, then
dropping the ball for a successful
drop kick and a field goal. This was
not common in prep football.
At any rate, Miller threw his
arms upward to signal a score. The
team would collect three points if it
went through the uprights. Nothing
new about that.
Nonetheless. Miller looked
around and found o ne of the
players from a defending team,

Apparently, the lad had never

One day In 1950, agricultural
teacher Elgin Hall bussed
numerous students out of their

so they could present their project
to the class.
It shocked many or the students
