NEWPORT BEACH -It started innocently
with one man's vision of doing something
nice for someone for no reason and has
grown into one of Newport Beach's greatest
traditions -Irrelevant Week. which
celebrates the last college football player
selected in the NA. draft.
Irrelevant Week XXVlll kicked off Monday
night at the Arrival Party at the Newport
Dunes. This year's honoree, NCAA Division m Gustavus Adolphus College wide receiver
Ryan Hoag. was showered with gifts and
proclamations atop a lifeguard tower while
surrounded by cheerleaders and blood
nurses in short shirts to celebrate the Hoag
Hospital theme (no, they were not Hoag
Hospital nurses).
Picked No. 262 in the NFL draft and
absolutely dead last by the Oakland Raiders,
Hoag established many records at Gustavus
Adolphus as a 6-foot-2, 200-pound wide
receiver with great speed (he runs a 4.33
40-yard dash).
The Raiders drafted Hoag (no relation to
Hoag Memorial Presbyterian Hospital in
Newport Beach) after obtaining the pick by
trading with the Houston Texans for a
selection in next year's draft. Irrelevant Week
founder Paul Salata made the
announcement on ESPN and added. "We'll
have Heisman ltophy winner Carson Palmer
and Lowsman lrophy winner Ryan Hoag.·
On Thwsday, Palmer and Hoag will appear

NEWPORT-MESA -Assembly-

with a leading tupayer group to roll
back Gov. Gray Davis' tripling of the

Campbell and the Howard Jarvis

a 1998 bill that resulted in a $4-bll-

letter.
"I can't believe the governor and
his subordinates d.isrn.issed legisla-

more uncertainty to budget negotia-

A creepy, crawly thanks
Rea Elementary students are
rewarded for achieving
reading goals.
Christine C•rrlllo
Daily Pilot
T hey read. read and read some more, and as a
reward, they got exclusive visitation rights
with prehistoric pets such as snakes. llza.rds.
frogs and scorpions.
Unlike some of their fourth-, fifth· and sixth-grade
claswnates, their reward lasted a full day.
They got to attend all three "Reading Frenzy"
events.
As a reward for the students' achievements through
the Accelerated Reader program, Rea Elementary
School in Costa Mesa decided to hold a progressive
party to recognize them for their reading efforts.
The program "is so Intrinsically motivating for the
kids," said Kurt Suhr, assistant principal at Rea.
"Reading is one of the greatest things you can give a
kid, and (this program) gives them ownership of their
reading."
Those students who reached one of their three
goals during the year got to attend a morning
assembly. while those students who achieved two of
their three goals got to stay and participate in some
afternoon activities.
The students who reached all of three of their
goals, about 30 students altogether, got spend the
whole day reveling in their reading rewards, which
included a visit from some cold-blooded friends.
The students appreciated the day of recognjtion.
"My parents taught me to read more so I have
more knowledge and will get a better career," said
I I-year-old Marcos Hernandez, a fifth-grader who
reached all three of his reading goals. "I think (this
party) is good because every reader gets to be
recognized for all their hard work."
Rea implemented the program four years ago, and
the effect it has had on the school and its students
has impressed school officials.
"We had the Accelerated Reader program for four
years, and it works amazingly well," said Jenny Burks,
the school's renaissance facilitator in charge or the
accelerated programs. "Kids are excited to read and
they're reading all the time. It's incredible to see them
growing."
With library circulation jumping from about 350
books per day to more than 750 books per day.
school administrators have seen a strong increase in
the reading skills of the nearly 800 students who
attend the school.
After challenging the students throughout the year,
rewarding them for their efforts seemed lilce the best
way to end the year. The last day of school was
Friday.
"Meeting all of your goals is not an easy thing to
do." Suhr said. "The goals are very challenging ... so
it's great to recognize (the students! for achieving
them This is a great way lo end the year."

NEWPORT BEACH CITY COUNCIL PREVIEW
PARK PATROL PROGRAM • WHO: Newport Beach City Council
meeting Here are some ltema to be considered
•tonight by the Newport Beach Oty
Coundl.
·PLANNING COMMISSION
DECISION
In their study session before the
regular meeting, council members wW
consider a plan to monitor the use or city
parks, to check pennlta and to help deal
with problems caused by competition for
limited space on city playing fields. The
idea is to have unifonned staff members
monitoring the use of the city's 38 active
parks, fields and other fadllties. The
$52,000-a-year cost would be paid for in
part by charging $1 an hour for fields to
some youth groups that now use them
for free. Representatives of some of these
groups have told the city that they
support this plan. The remainder would
be paid for by raising fees for special
events permits and for renting and
reserving facilities at dty parks.
• WHEN: Study session will begin at 4
p.m. today: the regular council meeting
will start at 7 p.m .
..
• A Balboa Island homeowner whose
~request to add on to the top of her home
~ waa abot down by the Planning
Commission wW get a reconsideration by
: the council. The issue ts the same one
lhat landed Councilman Dick Nichols in
•trouble recently after he told Planning
Commissioners that their denJal of the
1equest was so wrong that it looked as If
·someone had accepted money.
The homeowner had approval to add a
_is.square foot elevator shaft on the roof
of her South Bay Front home, but dwing
--00ostruction. workers expanded it to a
127-square-foot addition that included a
·bathroom. Pianning Corn.rn.i.Mioners
·voted unanimously that this did DOI
warrant a variance, but Nichols believes
that it should be permined because the
end result is much Jess imposing on
neighbors' views than the building that
the homeowner tore down to build this
home.
WHAT TO EXPECT
A good guess might be a 6-1 vote to
_uphold the Planning Commission's
WHAT TO EXPECT
Because this is only a study session
item, no formal action will be taken
tonight But if council members like the
program. they may ask to have it put on
a future council agenda
PLANNING COMMISSION
CALL-UPS
Yet another Item pertaining directly to
Nichols was carried over from the last
council meeting after that meeting ran

3300 Newport Blvd.
•INFORMATION: Complete agendaa and

too late. Tonight, council members hope
to get time to consider whether they
should change ind.Mdual council
members' power to revisit Planning
Commission decisions. Right now, a
single council member can call up any
Planning Commission decision as a
council agenda item. nullifying the
commission's vote. The commission has
similar powers to call up decisions of the
Modifications Committee. Council
members tonight will consider whether
to revert to the pre-1997 policy or
requiring two or more council members
or planning commissioners to call up
such decisions.
WHAT TO EXPECT
It's hard to say how much support this
idea will gamer. but Nichols is a likely no
vote.

At issue: Dick Nichols' comments about
expanding the grass areas above th.e beach
in Corona del Mar.
T he truth is the truth. What
Newport Beach
Councilman Dick Nichols
said is "blatantly true." One just
has to go to Blg Corona on any
given week.end to see this. Have
we become so fearful of not
being "politically correct" that
we must avoid the truth? A
public beach belongs to all
voting, taxpaying citizens..
In my opinion, Steve Smith's
comments in his Family Time

pathetic." Is be running for

having been a haven for rich

FRED W. ARNOLD

I always enjoy Steve Smith's
articles, so l did not miss his
take on my Councilman
Nichols's discriminatory
comments about the Mexicans
la.ki ng over his beach.
As a longtime resident of
Newport Beach, I am inflamed
by this man's attitude and
remarks, especially as a
representative of our
community. These are the
kinds of comments and
attitude that inspired the
Hitlers and the Saddams and
many others in our history. I
am embarrassed for myself, my
friends and neighbors to have
him representing us. I applaud
Smith's sensitivity. the other
council memb ers and the
many other citizens that are
d~mandi.ng bis removal .from
the council immediately an~
let him return to that hole he
came from. Please, Smith and
your newspaper, the media, the
other council members and the
public keep intense beat on
tpjs guy and have him
disappear into oblivion ..
Thanks for your work and keep
it up.
continually be self-educating,
to be involved, to be paying
attention and investigating;
Nichols' remarks reveal a
mental wallowing in ·
preconceived thought
indicative of a closed mind.
Based on Sandy Nichols'
letter-to-the-editor published
Sa~y, June 21, Nichols could
easily have made his point
without ever m entioning
"Mexicans" or any other
specific group of people. The
fact that he targeted Latinos in
bis interview with Daily Pilot
reporter June Casagrande
clearly indicates that Nichols is,
at the very least, a somewhat
bigoted man.
He is obviously ignorant of
the ramifications of his speech
as an elected representative of
Newport Beach as well as not
possessing any talent in bow to
handle the press and press
interviews. This is not a free
speech issue but a common
sense issue.
I am not suggesting he be
dishonest regarding his
opinions but that he be
circumspect; there are ways to
phrase unpalatable opinions
without being insulting as well
as to framing issues for debate.
Nichols is apparently incapable
of expressing his ideas without
ruffling feathers or sinking to
the lowest denominator. His
actions waste official time
needed to attend to City
Council business; he should
resign by June 30, the end of the
city's fiscal year. The umpire
has spoken: You're oud

take our "right" to an education for

J can just hear teachers everywhere
wishing they had classrooms full of

palatable as he relates his plans at

the greatest nation in the world.• How
refreshing to hear appreciation,

COMMUNITY COMMENTARY
Resort's plans don .'t call for taking away
recreational and environmental space
I n Greenllght leader Phil Arst's
Community Commentary of June 19,
2003, be continues the policy of
Greenllgbt Member Tum Billings'
attempts to mislead residents.
First of all the Regent is not taking away
recreational and environmental open
space. The plans call for inaeased access
to the property while at the same time
improving the existing reaeational
programs offered by the city's Parks and
Recreation OepartmenL The Regent not
only maintains the public open space and
recreational aspects of this site, it
improves iL And this wfD be done with
private funds, not taxpayers' money.
Everything Arst suggest Is to be paid for by
you. tbe ree.id.ent, and the taxpayer. All of
the improvements included in the Regent
plan won't COit residents a dime. This ls a
Win for the ~and tor the residents.
Ant's da1m that he leldfied at the
March u. 2003 Qty Council hearing ln
opposition to the Regent Resort is false.
The omdal minutes from that hearing
state "Phil Arst stated that he is delighted
a vote will take place on the project. H
Nowhere in the official minutes, contrary
to Arst's statement, does he say that he or
Greenlight are opposed to the Regent ln
fact nowhere in Arst testimony before the
council is the word opposed even used
once. My past prediction that Greenlight
would at some point find some reason to
.oppose the Regent has now come true.
By the way, at this same City Council
meeting my agreement with the city was
approved by all seven countil members.
Yes, even Greenligbt Councilman Dick
Nichols voted in favor of the Regent.
Arst's next statement in his
commentary is even more unbelievable.
He claims residents must vote on t,pe
Regent Resort because of the Greenligbt
law and not because the city's leaders and
I believe residents should decide a matter
of this importance. This assertion is easily
disproved by simply reviewing
Greenlight's own Web site or by reviewing
the Greeoligbt law itselt The truth is that
the Regent ls IUbject to a Greenlight vote
only if it exceeds the traffic limitation laid
out by Greenlight and it does noL
When Arst declares. Hthere are still
judges who can decide the legality of
bypassing the Greenligbt law," it seems he
is threatening to file a lawsuit against the
city lf the residents' vote on the Regent is
not to his II.king. This·again will be at a
monetary cost to our residents and it is a
slap in residents' faces.
Arst•then reverts to Hthe old scare them
with the turning of the city into another
Miami Beach tactic.~ Does he mean this
one and two story 110-room luxury resort
is going to turn Newport into Miami? This
"the sky is falling" farce is going too far.
Based on current events, Arst needs to
clean up his own Greenligbt house and
stop trying to spend taxpayers' money.
F.spedally when the Regent Newport
Beach Resort provides improved
recreational and open space with private
money.

But It was aJso visible in vinually all

errant throws. and other lapses that
come from players ages 8-1 o. who are
still learning the game.
While frequent adversity occasionaJJy

The posrgame celebradof'\ in-
cluded awarding home ND
balls to Valdez and 'lhtjillo. Kirk
Stone also doled out game balls,
and fitting praise, to second
baseman Erin Curtis, Bisoso,
and Kanoon Stone, who now
has 3~ innings of pitching left
for the title game.
Curtis personified the Dodg-
ers' resilient attitude by begin·
ning a two-run rally that In-
flated the Dodger lead to 13-10
in the six1h. Though crestfallen
after being replaced defensively
in the 6fth. she showed no signs
or disappointment by the time
she strode to the plate with one
out and no one on in the sixth.
With Ranger fans hooting af-
ter an inning-opening strikeout.
seemingly rejuvenated by a
three-run fifth to pull within
one, Curtis beat out a soft
eluded Newport Beach's Ouis
Damion and CJ. Oiomeau,
both of whom lost in the firs t
round. and Connor Curry of
Newport Beach, who won, 6-1,
6-1, over Aaron Bellack in the

Dunlap of Newport Beach and
Diana Khoury of Newport
Beach all advanced to the third
round Monday.
But Holland was the only
winner in the third round, post-
ing a 6-0, 6~0 victory over Sa.rah
Koudouzian.
Not as fortunate were Juliet
Mut.zke of Newport Coast, who
dropped a 6-1, 6·2 verdict to
Carla Tamborini. Newport
Beach's Amanda Rubenstein
and Bonnie Adams, both of
whom fell in the second-round
after posting first-round vic-
tories. Amber Ray of Newport
Beach also lost in the first
round.
Mutzke will return to action
today in the doubles competi·
tion, teaming with Alex Jure-
witz to battle the Newport
Beach combo of Dunlap and
Khoury.
Only one local advanced to
Monday in the girls 16-and-un-
looper In front of the plate to
quiet the Ocean View crowd.
One out later. Curtis ad-
vanced to second when Matt
Carlyle reached on an infield er-
ror. Yet another infield error
opened the door for both CUrtis
and Carlyle to motor home, as
Stone'S hard-bit grounder rolled
under the shortstop's glove. Car-
lyle, who had stolen a run with
shrewd tnd aggressive baserun-
ning In the third inning, utiliz.ed
what Klik Stone sald was the
best speed in the league to score
all the way from first as the
throw from the outfield came
slowly into second base.
The two-run slxth helped take
some pressure off the Dodgers
and the younger Stone. who re-
tired three straight after issuing
a leadoff walk. squelching the
Rangers' finaJ rally.
c.artyle. who made a big play at
short and battled the first three-
der division. JUI Damion of
Newport Beach faced off
against Kristin Strimple after
posting consecutive 6-2. 6-0
victories over IChJahan Veth and
Blair Brzeslc:I. Strimple got the
better of that matchup, 6-3. 7-5.
Other competftors in the di·
vision included Newport
Beach's Carly Adams, Kade
McKltterick of Corona del Mar,
Jamison Steele of Newport
Beach, Brittanny Sturgess, also
of Newport Beach and Megan
McKay from Newport Beach.
Jillian Braverman awaits the
round of 32 in the girls 14-and-
under main draw, whUe Mi-
randa Young and Alexandria
Walters had a chance to join
her. Walters succeeded in that
quest with a 6-1. 7-5 victory
over Rachel MiUer Monday.
Young feU to Brenda Koffi, 6-1,
6-1.
in the girls 12s main draw,
top-seed ed Nelly Radeva will
begin play Wednesday. Melissa
Matsuoka and Hailey Hogan
will have the opportunity to
join her In the round of 32
should they prevail in matches
today.
Matsuoka faces Sophie Bur-
sulaya after posting a pair of
victories and Hogan, also a vic-
tor in the first two rounds,

scored twice, while lhJjWo and Bi-
soso both went 2 for 3 to account
for half of the winners' eight bft.s.
Valdez reached b~ in all
three plate appearances, while
Hans Aderle walked twice and
scored both times to aid the
Dodger offense.
Nicley Roco scored a run for
the Dodgers and smothered a
hard-bft grounder to second
base, then threw to first for the
final out of the Ocean View fifth.
Roco's assist, as well as an assist
at shortstop by Bisoso (who also
played well in the outfield) for
the second out in the fifth, were
singled out by their manager as
two crucial defensive plays.
Jake Spielberger, Riley Stacie
and Brandon Haas. who scored
once. all walked to sustain ral-
lies, while Brodie Pearce also
contributed for the Dodgers.
