SUNDAY STORY
'The first image that came through my mind was that I was watching a m ovie because it was the only thing I had ever seen.
Bw at the sam e moment, I knew we were under attack because I knew something was wrong.'
Debor1h Hamm.tt
PHOTOS BY MARK C. DUSTIN I DAILY PK.OT
The Hammett family has witnessed two of the greatest tragedies In U.S. history. Deborah, left, volunteered at Ground Zero in New York after Sept. 11, 2001 .
Her father Jack, right, was stationed at the United States Naval Hospital Pearl Harbor with his wife Mary Jo, center, when Japan attacked on Dec. 7, 1941.
We will never forget
Two days that lived in infamy, sixty years apart from
one another, are forever a part one family's life.
While volunteering at Ground Zero,
Deborah Hammett was issued this
respirator and badges to wear.
People were not allowed in the
disaster area without special
badges from the city of New York
and the Salvation Army.
Deirdre Newm1n
Daily Pilot
I n an Instant, Deborah
Hammett's life began to
m irror that of her father.
The 47-year·old was In New
York City on a business trip
when two planes. commandeered
by terrorists, struck the World Trade
Center. Surrounded by so much
devastation, she felt compelled to
help and spent three days at
Ground Zero.
Slxty years earlier, her father, Jack
Hammett, was at Pearl Harbor when
the Japanese bombed the naval
installation on the island of Hawaii,
drawing the United States into
World War II. A.a a Navy hospital
corps man, he had the gruesome
job of iden tifying the dead, with a
break every four hours to perform
triage on the wounded.
The actions of both father and
daughter ln the aftermath of
national tragedies illustrate their
commitment to their country and
their courage In the face of
adversity.
"I didn't know my daughter was
[ln New York! until she called me,"
Jack Hammett said. "She steps right
in and got a lot of charge and I'm
very proud of her."
THE DAY OF INFAMY
Slxty-two years ago today, on the
morning of Dec 7, 1941, Jack was in
bed with his wife, Mary Jo. The
house they lived ln was 10 miles
from Pearl Harbor, high atop a hUJ,
with a view of the harbor. Jack. who
was 20 at the tim e, wu off-duty that
weekend and was surprised tu get a
knock on his door at 7:55 a.m.
TOP STORY
It was his landlord looking for the
rent. Jack handed It over and as his
landlord walked out the door, he
nonchalantly mention ed that the
Japanese had just attacked Pearl
Harbor, Jack Hammett recalled.
"I was standing around ln my
skivvies," he said. "We looked out
toward Pearl Harbor. I think the
Arizona had already gone (d own.)
There was a tremendous explosion
and overhead were Japanese planes
circling."
Jack Hammett jumped into his
uniform and commandeered a
truck to get a taxi down to the
harbor. He found a cab with five
other Navy personnel and rushed
toward the harbor.
On the way there and while they
were entering the main gate, they

Th e Costa Mesa Historical Society maintains
the city's history, and has for almost 40 years.
vtr1lnla E. Lopez
Daily Pilot ·p or those with a question about where c.osta Mesa tw been. and maybe even
where Its going, on·e place has
the answer: the Costa Mesa
Historical Society.
Fonned in 1966 to support the
Diego Sepulveda Adobe hlstorlCa.t
1and.mait. the historical society
began a lifelong commitment to
"promote and preserve" the
history or Costa Mesa.
on the past to future generations.
Soon l<>dety members found
that preserving history meant the
need for 5torage space beyond
the use of private homes and garages. .
The adobe, also referred to as
the l!stancia. was officially
dedicated on Aug. 28, 1966,
largely due to the dedication of
the core group who promoted
this undertaking with local
service groups and Interested
community members.
In 1981., an answer came from
the dty of Costa Mesa. The city
agreed to lease a
4,000-squa.re-foot building to the
society. but before they could
move In, they had to move out.
literally. In order to obtain the
building the society had to move
it from Its original site on Adams
Avenue to Its planned home in
the historic downtown area
located at the comer of Anaheim
and Plumer streets.
With a place to call home, the
historical society continued to
preserve local history and assist
residents with their search of
history as well.
COURTESY Of THE COSTA MESA HISTORICAL SOCIETY
Costa Mesa Historical Society board meeting adjourned to Pink's
Drugstore for soda and ice cream in 1979 shortly before Alvin
(Pink) and Lucy Pinkley retired and closed their store.
Having received its charter just
one month before the
dedication, the society began
giving tours soon after the
dedication and its own history
began to unfold.
Using the Estancia as the
jumping off point for their group,
tbe historical society began
harboring other activities as well.
Members pulled together
historical photos, many of which
are the only evidence of the early
history of Costa Mesa. To help
-increase interest in local Ristory
they brought in speakers to pass
"People want to know the
history of their houses." said
Archivist Mary Ellen Goddard,
and society members help them
to find the answers.
The society participates in
annual events like the Fish Fry
and the Orange Cow1ry Fair. -
Members publish a local
quarterly to keep residents
informed of their history and
sponsored three books written by
Edriclc MJ.ller that cover various
aspects of area history.
As it heads into their 38th year,
the society continues to provide
tours of the adobe.
It also long has been
commlned to the future of the
community, having establishing.
in 1969, an annual scholarship
fund awarded to an Orange

Health. The project's primary goal
of identifying all the 30,000 genes

Deborah Hammett was in

International trade show. She
was visiting one of her

look around and as they were
discussing what had
happened, she saw another
plane ling low, vanish heh.ind

horrendous explosion.
"The first lmage that came
through my mind was that I
wa1> watching a movie because
II was the only thing I had ever
t.een," she said. ~But at the
same moment, I knew we were
under attack because I knew
something was wrong.·

office:
She helped organize the
food tents and took the food
personally to the weary
firefighters, who were too busy
to think about eating.

father would have called It.
Another searched relentlessly
for his crew amid the rubble,
she said.
Improvising was key at
Ground Zero Deborah
1 lammett discovered when she
went 10 scrounge up more
food for the firefighters in the
wee hours of the morning. She
found a restaurant that had
some functioning machines
and figured out how to use its
huge coffee makers and slicing
machine. She open ed up the
refrigerators and started slicing

Another time when the

Deborah panicked

Kapaun said he was thankful
that there was n o rain on Satur·

said. She found some cartons
of milks and took them to the

ln the heart of the recovery

witne!>sed firsthand the
herculean effort of the
recovery workers.

sa.id. "I knew I was standing

"My first reaction was,
'maybe this will wake America

. Planners' raise
could begin a
vicious circle
E veryone loves a big.
well-deserved raise.
But a 339' boost to
Costa Mesa Planning
C.Ommissloners
poclcetboob may not be what's
good for die city.
There is no doubt that
commissioners are invaluable,
but in a year ol cut bacb and a
hiring freeie at C.OSta Mesa City
Hall and budget de6dts Jn
Sacramento and labor strikes in
the private sector, the Oty
C.Ounctrs off-the-cuff generosity
seems a bit misplaced.
On Monday the council
unanimously agreed with Mayor
Gilly Monahan's suggestion to up
commissioners salaries by $100
per month. taking thelr pay from
$75 per meeting attended. with a
cap ol $300 a month. to a ftat fee
of $400 per month.
Commissioners will now get
$400 a month regardless of if they
attend meetings and even if there
is only one scheduled. as there
will be this month since the
council canceled the Dec. 22
meeting for the holidays.
Both the council and the
Planning Commission took pay
cuts in 1992. The council
reinstated its previous pay for its
own membenJ in 1998. 1bls pay
increase brings the
commissioners back to the pay
they enjoyed in 1992.
Bumping those up would seem
to tndlcate sttang economic times.
And while the economy has
~from the last couple
years of slowdown the coffers are
by no means overflowing. And
even though in the grand scheme
of thingl we're not talking a lot of
money, Ifs ju.st the timing.
What about bumping their pay
up lo $100 a meeting? That way
they are getting a boost for the
service rendered and not just
getting a $4,800 annual salary.
That would also raise the cap per
month from $300 to S400 without
spending as much extra money.
And where does it stop? Next
the Parb and Recreation
C.Ommlssion ls going lo wonder
where their pay hike ls. And what
about all the other commissions
in the city that residents volunteer
to serve on? Soon they may ask
where their money is.
Sometimes public service
should be just that Planning
commissioners clearly do not
perform the thankless raslc for the
pay. but because they care about
what happens in thelr city. For
that. we are grateful, as are many
other residents Jn this fair city.
though probably not enough of
them.
Still, there is a dme and place to
be handing out more money and
raises. Right now just doesn't feel
right
Giving must' not be
forgotten this season
0 n your marks, get set ...
Wait. everyone's
already gone. The
Ouistmas shopping
season is oftldally more than a
week old now. The wallets are
well-used. The purses are pooped.
Presents are hJdden away In
closets. garages and basements.
And theres more to comi So
much more.
It all speaks to the great benefits
of life in Newpon-Mesa. While the
rest of the country struggles
economically. this area avoids
bubble bwstl.ng. When real estate
prices across the state and IM
country continue to d1mb.
steadily and surely. rul estate here
shoots through the roof and b!eps
ongoing.
And when the holiday shopping
seuon beglns, it begins with a
bana. with thousand-dollar hems
ftyfng out the stores. On the Fr1day
after ThanbgMng. aowds were
ltufled together It area atoies,
espedally thoso at Fuhlon Island
and South c:oast Plua.
Yes, fortwio -and the
fortunate-thdYe here.
But the less fortunate live here
too. Homeless~ seek
shelter at night within walking
distance of our grand shopping
centers. People struggling to make
enough money to pay rent and to
buy food pass designer stores and
even mlWon-doUar homes on
their way to work. Clilldren trying
to master the English language
even u they have to master their
multiplication tables sit in <:Ws
alonpide their more fortunate
schoolinates.
But they have thelr fortune, too,
for the splrlt of the holiday season
ls vast and wide here.
Organlzadona adopt families to
eNU1'e thelt holiday happiness.
Cha.rides become well-stocked

Many of the better off among us

Kin·g and Queen of lights_
A oyone who'• bobbed
along Newport Harbor
during the holiday
season, especially during
the annual Ou1stmas Boat Parade,
has seen GayW11rlll·KeDy and Bm ICeJ1y'a pen)nsula house.
It's impossible to miss.
Whe.ther iJ be the blow·up
figures, the sheer brillJance of
lights or just Gay Wassall~KeUy in
her costume, something is sure to
stand out -way out.
And as much fun as lt all is,
there's a lot of work behind the
scenes, weeks of decorating that
doesn't even include the shopping
trips to buy new lights and
decorations.
ln the midst of all the craziness.
Gay Wassail· Kelly managed to find
time to answer a few questions
from Pilot Managing Editor S.J.
Cahn about the yearly, much-loved
ordeal.

Sweepstalces!
F.rniy: Share seven d\ildren and four
grandchildren
We have been decorating ow home
since l992. We would decorate a small
Ficus tree that I had given my parents
on their 50th wedding anniversary in a
pot in the front yard with lights and
ornaments. Next, we put up the
wooden candy canes my dad made in
lhe '70s.. I began to create "yard art"
(oversize figures) for every season in
late 1994.1 desjgned a Santa and an
angel in 1996 and we made ice cycles
from strands of lights we had! Much 10
out surprise, we won first place in the
Ring of Ugh ts. We were hooked. The
next year I designed a Olristmas tree
dress out of green tulle, decorated it
and added banery operated lights.
That was a hill

around the railing. On the dock roof a
border of new heavy duty lights and
hoist the Ughted Christmas tree onto
the roof of the dock. Down the ramp
with red wrap on the railing on the
dock set up the seven-foot blow up

year, Ughted candy cane arch. Then
comes the tug boat: Ice cycles around
the hull, blow up soldier and Santa.
large shiny ornaments. a lighted tret!
on the stem. lighted wreaths on each
i;ide. And •BaJboa Pole" sign on the
side.
f..ach year we vary our placement of
decorations. We draw up a plan and
change things all around We add more
lights and anything new that we think
fits!
Last year the Newpon Beach
(hamber or Commerce asked us if we
would like to be on a Home & Garden
1V show "Extreme Christmas." They
were going to 10 homes ln the USA
and interview families that decorate to
the "extreme" their homes. YUSI It ran
12 times last year and we got callt. from
all over the USA from friends and
family that we had not seen in years. It
ran in November and again Dec. 14 at
11 p.m. and Dec. 25 at 4 p.m. Getting
more calls this year1 Love it!

Do you try to have a theme or

We try to go with the theme of the
Parade each year. This year we have a
new palm tree and I'm golng to paint
my son's old surf board red & white to
go along with ·a holiday beach

all white lights and use red, green and
white decorations.
That same year Megabright Ideas
came to us and asked it they could film
the S.S. Michigan and our house for a

Bill had to dimb out on the roof, hang
over the side and nail in the holders
and hang over the side and put the ice

Prom the bay it looks beautiful, just
another touch for the parade
participants. Also we light the railing of
the stairs up the side of the house. on
the gate and entrance at the front of
the house fence and the deck on the
back of the house.
Where do you store all the

We store all of our decoration In out

closets (five of them). under beds. in

How do you power It aDf ls there an

No elaborate system ... to power

add~ 100 amps to our house since we
used to live in complete darkness
during the holidays. lf we turned on
the microwclve one side of the holL'\C
would go dark. We had to plug in our
coffee maker ln the bathroom or take
ow popcorn popper up stairs and only
watch lV in our bedroom.
What awards have you won in the
Ring or Lights competition and what

We have been honored with awards
for decoration in the "Ring of Ughr.,"

Haw long doa It take to get It all
down and how long doee It take you
to~
We don't take down the decorations
until after New Year's. It takes us .i
week 10 take them down ... but
gel ting all of them in the proper place
tucked away takes another week. We
need to draw a chart so we can
remember where II all goes, and then
we have to consider the new stuff.
Bill never rccovcn.! I am ready to
draw up the new plans for next
Oirislmas about Jan. IO. BUJ's birthday.

overzealous parent. paradlng
hlmself or herself as a
"booster," will squeere Into the
mhc and, combined with a
weak admlnistratJon, the
ayatem cracks. We've seen It
happen again recently, and
unfortunately, we'll probably
see It again.
A couple of HeVeral events of
thi5 nature that have stuck over
the years comes to mlnd.
One was when Edison High
School lost one of the most
respected coaches you can
Imagine, In Don Leavey, a coach
acknowiedged In every
direction as one of the most
prep~. dedlcated and
knowledgeable around.
Unfortunately, he had a sixth
man who was a junlor point
guard. and his dad was certain
he was destined for the pros. or
blg·time coUege at wont.
A. a senlorJte wus a starter
for the Cllargers, but, despite
being a good kid, he created
little lnterest In college scouts,
other coaches or the press, and
was hardly an all·league
candidate. let alone an
all·league selection.
Dad, who had been livid
since his son's time as a junlor
on a nightly basis, dedicated him.self to one thought Get rid
of the coach, no l'TlJltter the
expense. And to my
amaz.emeot. one ct..}' Leawy
called me to o.nnouooe he wu
ret1rlng &om the game.
'"l just can't take It any
longer,• he expla.lried of the ·
lnaunnountable pressure
which had been applied aa the
parent hounded b1rn and the
admlnlstration on a day-In and
day-out basis.
Making It an even more
memorable d.ra.unstance was
that I bad once known th1s
parent OD an entirely dltrerent
basis. He and I were
co-workera, our wives knew
one another, we played poker
and baby-sat our flrstboma
while doing It. and enjoyed
each other's company.
But that was a long dlne ago,
we went our separate ways and
junlor grew up to become a
point guard at the Huntington
Beacb·bued hJgh school.
Wt! talked a couple of times
on the phone after junlor .
joined F.dison's basketball
program, but there were no
more poker games. I saw his
son play three or four times,
but never quite saw a rainbow.
When It was over and done,
the coach packed It in and
junior failed to catch on with
an appropriate college. dad
called me and said some of the
blame was mine, that I had
failed to promote his son
properly, had not contacted
any schools to his knowledge to
let them know what they were
missing and had generally
failed his son In every way.
I never got o chance to
congratulate him on
successfully getting the coach
at E!disoo to resign. That was In
1978.
Another that still resonates
was the time In the early '90s
when Newport Harbor High
failed Its responsJbllltJes to a
very strong and dedicated
coach named Bob Serven, who.
In my opJnlon, hu always put
teams on the Ooor which
played above expectatJorui..
Serven had the misfortune of
having the son of a standout
fonner player from our area
who went on to considerable
glory.
In this case junlor was a
staner, had been since he was a
sophomore, was the team's
leading scorer and clearly the
Sailors' game seemed to live or
die on his shooting prowess.
Unfortunately, the Sailors died,
a lot When the kid clicked,
occasionally, all was wonderful.
And If not? Serven was doing
something which Interfered
wlth the rhythm, or something.
according to dad I never couid
really figure It out Perhaps no
one else was supposed to take
any shots, at all.
Even at a 30% shooting rote,
he'd still be castJng off.
At any rate. dad was certain
his son's future was being
wrecked by the coach, and
eventually the admlnlatradon
fulled Its coach. 1uccwnblng to
the parent'I pressure. and
Serven became a former

dad to the phone, demanding a
meeting with me.
So, myaelf, my editor, BW

the latter proceeded to lay out
a list of complaint&
Finally, I said, "Well. you've

Fortunately, Serven was able
