More than 200 entrepreneur5 from the Orange CoUt College COSTA MESA campus swap meet tumed out to ask COUDdl members to put a stop to the dras- tic cuts that will be made to the venue starting May 4. The C41D~ 1bopping venue must reduce lta vendors by almost half and operate only on Sundays after city otfidall distovered the swap meet was vlolating an 18- year-old permit. About .fOO vendQrs currently sell their goods at the bargain shopping spot on both weekend days. They argue any cuts to the swap meet would be devastating and drastical- ly limit their source of income. City officials did not comment during the meeting but said later that the vendors should take up their cause with the college. Orange Coast College officials are the ones who have allowed the swap meet to grow to its existing size and it is the same college offi- cials who agreed to reduce the swap meet. -Lolita ...,.., CO\ilef'S Cost.I Mesa.

BOXING CONTINUED FROM 1 train like Muhammad All, but you are nothing until you step into that ring. Boxing is about expen- ence. It's about rising to the challenge, getting knocked around and learning from the hits you take. I started boxing about a year ago, when I lived 111 Bur- bank and trained intensely for what was supposed to be my first amateur fight. About a month before the fight, I was offered a position at the Daily Pilot. t accepted and moved to Orange CoWlty on July 28 - the day I was scheduled to box, My boxing debut was post- poned indefinitely until about four weeks ago, when I walked through the doors of LA Boxing. The mst:ructors immediately took me under their wing and offered me the chance to go toe-to-toe with a trained opponent. The nights before my fight I lay awake imagirung the perfect combinations to throw. I dreamed about jab-cross- hooks and in those dreams I executed them perfectly. The live version was differ- ent. Saturday started early. I didn't partake in my usual Fn- day night activities with my friends because 1 was fighting the next day. I woke up chip- per and well-rested, counting down the hours until I had to be at LA Boxing on Newport Boulevard. I tried to go about my daily routine, but my nerves would- n't let me. I trted to eat -a task I never have trouble with -but couldn't. I deaned, went shopping and visited my mom until it was time to go. When I got there, it was two more hours of waiting. Everybody kept asking me if I was nervous. #Very,• I would answer. Thef d ten me to re.lax. Il would be OK. Sure it would, I convinced myseU as I stared at the ring. As fight time approached, I got more and more nervous. Each time a person would fill a chair in the audience. another butterfly would hatch tn my stomach.

Natural fibers are a must: Synthetic materi· als will not soak up the tan- nins the way cotton, silk and wool will. Lightweight cloth works best, denser weaves tend to take on less color. If you are staining the fab- ric in your washing machine, be careful not to overload. The fabric needs to have room to move around and take the color. An enameled tub (no grout lines) works well too and gives you the extra benefit of seeing bow quickly the fabric stains, so you can judge the depth of color.

Haven't we all spent the first hour of what was to be "study night" clean- ing and organizing pencils and lining papers in neat stacks? Spring cleaning follows the same mentality.

Well, you oould have knocked everyone over with a feather. Now, ~e. vendors and dty are thinldng deep thoughts and trying come up with a mutually agreeable solution. I don't spend a lot of lime at swap meets. But what little swapping and meeting I do, it's the culture of the thing that interests me. It's a very social experience. Along with shopping malls, swap meets are one more substitute for the nearly extinct town square. lhlth be told, not much ever happened in a town square. But people just loved having a place to stroll and sit and watch their neighbors do the same. There is something in hwnan nature that makes us want to come together in a public place every so often. We don't-really have to do anything or say anything to each other. We just like gath- ering together and saying to ourselves, "Oh OK. they're still here, so I must still be here.· Maybe it's a genetic remnant of huddling togt!ther to stay warm or not get eaten by something big and mean and smelly. These days, •swap meet• doesn't tell you all that much, because the range of possibili- ties is so broad. At one end, you have the rusty tools/leisure suits/old goli clubs swap meet, where the sellers tipped their garages on end and dragged everything that fell out to a parking lot somewhere. That pretty much describes my first swap meet memory, which was in the early 1970s at a drive-in theater north on Harbor Boulevard somewhere -Edinger maybe. I! memory serves, it was decidedly, um.mm. grim. The people, the merchan- dise, the setting -all very grim. I remember blankets spread out in the parking lot covered with used tools and broken things, and boxes of old magazines and beat-up records. And when I say records, we're talking about Tony Mottola, Spike Jones, the Best of Perez Prado • that sort of thing. Grim. For those of you who are not old enough to wrinkle, records were like a black, plastic piz- za with grooves in it that you put on a thing called a .... "'L#tilitr ~ turntable, and then -never mind.

But regardless of size or quality, how and where did these things start? Did anyone ever really swap anything at a swap meet? What is the differ· ence between a flea market and a swap meet? Are there now and were there ever any fleas at flea markets? Are swap meets descendants of garage sales, or did people get the idea of garage sales from yap meets? As always, I have no answers for you. I suppose I should have done some homework on the sub- ject, but then, I should have done a lot of things. Another thing that strikes me about swap meets is that the regulars are very ritualistic in terms of where they park. where they start. in what order they stroll the aisles, etc. They stop al a certain time in a cer- tain place to have a bite or a drink or whatever, and if the cburro cart isn't where it's sup- posed to be when they stop for their churro, it's not pretty. They know what booths are where, who sells what for how much, and how long before closing time he lowers his prices, if at all. It's very scientific. I've also noticed that, unlike most shopping experi- ences, there seem to be as many male regulars as female. You can find the occa- sional male in stores and shopping malls, of course, but always with a thousand-yard stare on his face, shuffling along in a dazed, zombie-like state, silently praying for it to end soon. But swap meets seem to be much less gender-specific, which brings us back to my original premise. It isn't so much the buying that matters. It's the being. Being ther,e, strolling, watching, interact- ing, seeing and being seen. And if you can find a brass planter or a New Age CD or an extender for your ratchet drive at the same time -so much the better. So swap, stroll, enjoy. Uve your dream. I'll see you when you get back.

With that dream nearly dead, fatr officials have turned their head southward to survey the possibilities. Becky Bailey Findley, the fair's general manager, said the site would be a better fit for the lair's 10-year plan and future expansion of the fair and the equestrian center. The current site in the heart of the city, does not leave much room for that. U El Toro suddenly became available, fair offi- cials have pitched a plan that would give them 300 acres of property, a near double dose of their current t 60-acre plot. Not to be a spoil sport here, but we're hopmg for a different result. The Orange County Fair is a rousing success in its cur- rent location, a spot it has called home since 1949, when it, ironically, took over an old World War II airfield. In July 2001, the admis- sion revenue ros~ by $1 mil- lion, a full 34 % increase. The total attendance of the two- week event was an all-time high at 843,000 people. And as for the major inci- dents that were once a hall- mark of fairs in the past, the annual event recorded 100 fewer arrests and ran about as smooth as it possibly could. So why the need to leave? Sure, we all know what it's like to want a little extra space. But anyone who has attended an Orange County Fair knows that crowds, just like the pig racing, the square dancing, the luscious Australian batter-fried pota- toes, the cotton candy, the elephant rides and the Ferris wheel, are just part of the whole fair experience. If the fair were to leave, the fate of what would hap- pen to that land does leave city officials with a lot to ponder. Could there be more parks, more space for City Hall? Still, even if the fair left. there's no promise the city would benefit one iota. We say it's too much of a gamble. The fair is too much of a city tradition and favorite to let it slip away. Watching it leave and go south to El Toro would be too painful for words. We urge fair and city offi- cials to talk now and fix any future problems the fair may have, and ensure that this annual event continues to be a part of this town for years to come.

COMMUNITY FORUM Sunday, April 21 , 2002 9 Growing pleasures Calvary Church Newport Mesa Pastor Tim Celek discusses his congregation's transition to a new site and its new name C alvary Church New- port Mesa has grown since Pastor 11m Celek opened it 14 years ago. In fact, it has outgrown its current f ad.lity at 23rd Street and Orange Avenue. But the church has the solution in the land it owns at 2115 Newport Blvd., where cur- rent construction has erected a children's building and 510-car, four-story parking structw"e. While awaiting a new perma- nent sanctuary, however, the church dedded it needed a 7,910-square-foot temporary home at the site that will be used for three to five years. So, Celek and company worked with Costa Mesa city staff, as well as the city's Planning Commission and City Council, to do so. The commission denied the structure by a 3-2 vote, but on appeal to the City Council it won a unanimous 5-0 approval. Celek sat d own with City Edi- tor James Meler at the new site on Wednesday to discuss the church's experience with the city and its future. How are you feeling right now about the new church sltel Just from a general overall stand- point, the site is great. We're very grateful. We're very appreciative of what God's allowed us to have here on Newport Boulevard as far as the opportunity to purchase this land and bwld these buildings. That would be it in a nutshell. I'm grate- ful for this opportunity to do what we're doing here. I'm amazed every day. I mean literally. Very thankful What do you think of the progress of the constructtonl The progress has just been great. We have great general contractors, great superintendents that work for those general contractors. It's really been ple4$urable. It's been a great experience. We have good working relations with the dty's Planning Department, Building Department. It's been a good experience overall. When I went into ministry, about 20 years ago, I never thought I would be 1n the development side of things. I wanted to be involved in seeing lives changed. But what you realize is the ministry expands and lives change. Things grow so your tools in ministry, which are build- ings, must also change. It's been a great opportunity. Now, you Mid you've experi- enced good terms with the dty. What about In tenm of working with the Planning Comm.1ss1on and eventually the City Coundlf We had about three previous dea- sions with the Planning Commission that were unanimous. And each time they review what you're doing. So there was a good relationship with the Planning Commission. This last time, I just believe the issue of the temporary structure was, maybe from their perspective, problematic. And who knows, maybe there was history with other people who have had temporary structures who didn't vacate them in the time allotted. Then, the questions we got from the Planning Commission at the meeting we were denied, the way I look at it is it just gave us time from that denial to the City Council appeal to do the homework necessary to sat- isfy the conoerns of our dty. It JUSt seems the resedrch that was provided showed that the pro- ject would be a positive and s1grufi- cant enhancement to Newport Boulevard. It was a 5-0, a unaru- mous vote from the City Council. Were you surprised by that vote? I was surprised, but at the same time. I was very grateful. Council- woman Libby Cowan recommended the 2 1/2-year midterm check. i.f you will, on where we're at. She asked me earlier in the night if I'd be will· mg to see that accountability, and I said sure. For us, this structure 1ust · gets us to the final auditonum. so our desire has never been for tlus temporary structure to be up longer than five years. Our desire is to get into the permanent structure. Ideally, how long do you expect lo use the temporary sanctuaryl I think, realistically, with the time frame I presented to the City Coun- cil, was approximately 4 112 years. Just looking at it from a rauonal and objective standpoint as-to what has to happen as far as the sale of the (Orange Avenue) property or even the growth of our present church, it's a realistic five years. Even a couple of council members said in the meet- ing that night that it sounded like a realistic timetable, so I felt good about that. So bow long bas the Orange Avenue site been on the market so farf Actually we took it off the market and, like we shared with the City Council, the moratorium (on small- lot development) was lifted in July 2001, so our consultants told us not to put it back on the market until one year following that date. So the soonest we'll place it back on the market is this July. You said overall you were pleased with the way the dty han- dled lL But do you lb.Ink the dty'• proceu work.I overallf Are there some klnkl that they can work oun You know, bow do you answer that and get tt written aboutf You know, because we got approved. Ultimately, because of what I do and who I am, I believe that God is ulti- mately 1n control and we gained approval from the ctty Council because they saw the merits of what it is we're doing. I thin.k our track ,, record of integrity m the city pre- sents a double-edged opporturuty there for them. And I belleve ti there was an alternative decision made, God's still in control. It just means we'd have to go back and re-look at what he's saying and what is 1t that he wants us to do. So l feel really good about our city, abo.ut the process, about the people we've dealt with. Because you deal every day with the Plan- ning Department and Build.mg Department. Every City Council person returned my phone call; I was pleased with that. Every City Coun- cil person engaged m a discussion with me over the temporary struc- ture. Well, all but one. who I kept playing phone tag with, but she kept trying to call me back. What more can you ask for because those peo- ple have Llves too. And I was very grateful to Coun- alman Gary Monahan for appealing I appreaate him doing that because he doesn't attend our church. When do you expect to build the temporary sanctuaryf We filed the bwlding plans with the city the week after we gamed our approval with the city. I thmk we're planning to build it in July or August. Our move-m date IS our chwch's 14-year birthday tlus Sep- tember. The temporary structure itself will go up in just two weeks. When do you expect to build the permanent structurel Three years. So, what does the new site have ln store for the churchl 1bis September. we'll move in and start conducting church services here. That provides us with a lot of great opportunities and possibilities. One of them is that the building right here off Newport Boulevard will be dedicated just to children from nursery up to elementary age. It'll be a high-quality children's facility. There will be a high-quality sort of theabical worship center for children. Then the temporary structure, though temporary, will still be a pleasant structure, and it will give us more space and allows us to reach more people. We'll be able to grow a little bil Because we've really, for the most part, plateaued because of GREG FRY I OAA.Y PILOT the size of the site at 23rd and Orange. We have between 1,500 and 1,800 members now Seating in the final structure will be between 1,400 and 1,700. The temporary structure will seat 750 to 800. We've changed our name too. Rlght now, unbl we move. the sign says Calvary Church Newport Mesa. But we changed our name to the Crossmg Why the name changel One of the best churches in our area is Calvary Chapel or Costa Mesa, and we get confused -and it's a pleasant sense of confusion - but we 1ust really wanted our own sense of 1denbty, i.f you will. And we felt the best rune for that to take place IS when we move The other thing is with the Crossing. the w hole significance of the name for us. is it's because of the cross and Jesus Chnst that lives are changed. So it allows to change to a name with a strong sense or significance and our own identity CrossingOnline.com IS the Web site. How many worship services do you have now, and bow many wtll you havef Four. I think we're probably going to start day one with three services -one on Saturday rught and two on Sunday morning. Right now, we have one Saturday night and three on Sunday morning. Any final lbougbtst The final thought, the most unportant thing is we're here to serve the city. We're here to assist people with hfe change, and that's what these buildings are all about. It's not about impressive architecture or grand designs. We just see them as tools. They're Just really nothing more than tools to help us further reach men and women and boys and girls with the good news of Jesus Christ. And I hope that as a church, as we make the transition from 23rd Street and Orange to come over here to 2115 Newport Blvd., that even though there will be great joy and celebration to 1114ke that move, I believe that our church as a whole sees these buildings as JUSt tools. The hand of God to see lives altered. So, that to me 1s the most impol"- tant thing about what we do here and why we do what we do.

W th the venerable Adoption Guild Tennis Tournament coming up next month, now is a good time to assess the oldest charity tournament in Orange C<~unty. The 41st Adoption Guild, under the direction of first-year Adoption Guild of South Orange County chapter president Melinda O'Brien of Newport Beach, is struggling to secure sponsors and advertisers for the annual program, which is among the best produced anywhere in tennis. And, with donations down this year for the silent auction, it could mean less money for Holy Family Services, the nonprofit charity that has been helping local families for 50 yea"!. The tournament -operated by hard-working volunteer women who host a well-orchestrated and detail-oriented two-weekend affair at Newport Beach Tennis Club - needs your help. While tennis isn't always on the front page or televised on prime time, Richard Dunn TENNIS in this part of the country it's huge. Has been for years, and continues to be. Why donations are down is probably an influence from Sept. 11 that has seemingly affected many smaller local charities, but, folks, the Adoption Guild has been good to us for many years and is a tournament worthy of continuE!d support. This is no time to back away. but embrace it even more. Over the years, including last year's $108,000 contribution, the Adoption Guild has raised over $2.6 million for Holy Family Services, whic}) provides counseling, adoption and foster care services for children, regardless of race, religion, sex or ethnic origin. The adoption agency also provides free birth parent counseling, temporary foster care, in-home counseling services, parent education and community outreach, as well as assistance to #special needs" children. Holy Family Services is generally the first contact local hospitals make when an unwanted handicapped child enters the world. If that isn't a need, the world has no needs. As for the tournament, the Adoption Guild, like Memorial Day. represents the unofficial beginning of summer. It is one of the oldest sporting events in Orange County and has been the largest chartty doubles tournament in the nation. With prize money increased from two years ago in men's open singles and doubles, the event draws the top names in local tennis, as well as hundreds of competitive club players from Newport Beach Tennis Club, Pa.Usades Tennis Club, Balboa Bay Club Racquet Club, Mesa Verde Tennis Club and Newport Beach Marriott Hotel and Tennis Club.

Some highly respected names out of sports yesteryears dealing with Newport Harbor High are inclined to believe it may be time to set the record straight on the old yams dealing with the tenns, •Goat Hill: and, •Mackerel Plat• In fact. many oldtimers feel it should be observed as simply the work of some comic promoter from the mld-40s who churned up the action. The basic yam was that Harbor HJgb athletic riva.lrles eventually sparked a scene where Costa Mesa students were called, "Goat Hillers,• and that Newport students were labeled as, "Mackerel Flatters.• One element felt that would stir up a competitive spirit among the kids form Newport and Costa Mesa. Or, perhaps they thought It might pinch the vanities. Truth of the matter is that U never did and the Mackerel Flat term never caught on But in the mid-40s, the term. "Goat Hill,· did catch on. as it was fixed on students from the Costa Mesa agricultural community. Nonetheless, the Costa Mesa kids loved the term and started using it in their sod4l gatherings. Who could have sparked up any glittering lights of interest over the term of Goat Hill or Goat Hill Kids in the mid- •Os? ~Y students al Don Cantrell the day are prompted to smile and point the SIDELINES finger at Don (Muk) McCallum, a '-'7 end on the grid team and the 1947-48 student body president Although be was a native Balboan, be mixed closely with the, "Goat Hill boys.• and they came to follow his dress via the war surplus store: Navy pea-coats and clod boppers. His unique talent for promotion shined in later years when he and two partners launched a Tahitian resort and later found Life Magazine featuring them across a few pages m Tahiti. Many locals from the day feel the Goat Hill scenario was ephemeral. la.sting about three to four years. then faded with the tum of the 'SOs. Even most oldtimers are not quite certain what Goat Hill is supposed to mean personality-wise. Those who were fond of the crowd recall them as fun and likable people with a great sense of humor. There was no picture of tough, edgy guys. Prior to the m.ld-40s, there was virtually little ever said about the kids on the blll or beach. Al lrwin, a student from 1932-36, who became the schools' football coach from t 948-55, said he has almost no recall of the tenns in his high school days. Sparks McClellan, 11 student from 1936- 40 and a center on the '39 grid team. said. "I never heard the tenn. Goat Hill. unW after I returned home from World War D ln 1945. • Goat Hill was never mentioned in the yearbook or school paper. Roger Neth, a tackle on the '.42 championship rootbalJ team and a former Costa Mesa police chief, said he had no recall of any Goat Hill-Mackerel Plat e pisodes, though be says there could have been, "some chit-ch.at now and then.• In the past. some have said the term arose because there weie so many goats ln Costa Mesa. With a laugh, Neth. siding with his old gridmate from the '43 vanity, Joe Muniz, said, •I never saw• goat in Costa Meta.• The latest tall tale arose a few monU.. ago in a Santa Ana paper, wbicb claimed the term arose in the '20. when some Santa Ana residents moved their bome:1 to cheap land ln northern Colta Mesa.
