companies want to settle accident claims.
By Greg Risling. Daily Pilot
NEWPORT BEACH -A
lawyer representing Jason
Rausch in two civil lawsuits said
Monday that two auto insurance
companies are willing to pay
about $2.6 million. to settle the
claims,
Attorney Jim Crandall said
Farmers Insurance and State
Farm Insurance are willing to
compensate the victims of a May
23, 1997, car accident on Irvine
Avenue that kille~ one. of
Rausch's classmates at Newport
Harbor High School and seriously
injured two other students, whose
families filed the suits.
•The insurance companies
have said they would like to settle
the case," Oandall said. •Tuey
are willing to pay out the full pol-
icy in each instance.•

ignated driver of a 1989 Chevrolet

Crandall said Rausch . had a
$300,000 liability policy through
Farmers and Bridgman had a $2.3
million policy through State Fann
that covered any driver he gave
pennission to operate his vehicle.
Rausch was convicted. of mis-
demeanor vehi:cular-ma-nslaugh-
ter and sentenced last week to
three years probation and 250
hours of community service.
In separate civil suits filed Fri-
day in Orange County Superior
Court, Amanda's and Daniel's
families n~ed several parties in
their claims, including the Bridg-
man estate. The suits allege that
negligent driving by Rausch and
a wet road contributed to the
crash. The city of Newport Beach
and Irvine-based California
Landscape Maintenance also are
cited in the suit. None of the
defendants had been served as
of Monday.
Assistant City Attorney Daniel
-
Ohl said Newpbrt Beach isn't
insured for tbe first $1 million of
any judgment, but its insurance
will pay claims above that
amount. The city bas hired a pri-
vate attorney to handle the case,
he said.
Tbe civil suits may be just the
first in a series by the victims'
families.
Greg Munoz, Amanda's attor-
ney, said there may be up to sev-
en other lawsuits with similar
allegations. Lawyers expect the
Bridgmans to file a wrongful
death suit in the · upcoming
weeks.

cult to get~ of the attorneys in

An early peek at Newport Beach's bud-

recovering from its economic slump of the
early '90s. The preliminary financial plan
calls for increased funding of programs
that had previously been slashed and a

Parents also took beating in · Rausch -triiil
.. •
By Dustin Funderburk
J ason Rausch bas had his day
in court and thankfully this
portion of the ordeal is over. I
know that the past year has not
been easy for this young man
anymore than it has been for us as
famijies of the injured.
It '\s good to see the forgiveness
that has been extended toward
Jason by those who find it possi-
ble; for those still struggling with
this issue we can only extend our
patience and understandin_g and ·
allow tune to do its beating,
In the Thlll'sday Daily Pilot. a
thoughtful and sensible editorial
called for a healing: to this I say
amen. However, the letters adja-
cent to the editorial were far less
gracious. In fact, they reflected
much of the same finger pointing
and head wagging that has domi-
nated public sentiment since the
accident, to wit: The injured par-
ti~ contributed to the accident
and the parents of these kids need
to take control of their teenagers.
Some of the remarks by Judge
Everett Dickey from the bench at
sentencing reinforced this notion,
I do not know if Judge Dickey
has teenagers at home now or U
he ever had the joy of parenting
them. His white pate may not be
the result ot raising teens, but I
know where my gray hair came
from.
The lack of logic and critical
thinking in the pUbllc debate of
what happened that fateful
night, and who was responsible,
might have been mildly amusing
if it were not so defamatory to
the injW'ed and their families.
It is somewhat ironic that in all
that bas happened., the driver
has often been painted as the
victim, and tbe iDjw9d parties
have been perc:etv.ed as those
m0$t culpable.
This ii, of course, no acddent.
Rausch's attorney, Jennifer
Keller, did an expert job in both
her preparation f« the case and
her presentation hl the court-
room. If I ever find myself in
need of a criminal defense attor-
ney, I would call bet long before
I call Johnnie Cochran.
Her strategy to disaedit the
victim/wttnenes bf portraying
them as a bunch of underage
boozers without parental super-
vision was very effective. By cre-
ating this perception, how credi·
ble could the eyewitness
accounts bf the passengers be;
pa.ssengen who unanimously
agreed that the cw was going
well over 60 mph'
This was a great defensive
reader responds
strategy. Unfortunately for the
injured parties, Keller had to
umnerdtully do a hatchet job on
not just their reputatlons, but on
the good names of their families
to accomplish her goal.
She laid out the biggest red
herring conceivable, and the
public took the bait hook. line
and sinker. By the end of the firs'
phase of hearings, much of the
public was calling for the beads
of~ wayward youths and their
neglecUul parents. Even Jud9'
Dickey, being not b:nmune from
the influence of public sentim~
got his llc.k.s in at sentencing as
be moralized about the quality,
or lack thereof, of parenting
exercised in the injured parties'
families.
While the issues of parental
control and adolescent drinking
are issues worthy of the attention
of all people in this community,
they are not really relevant to the
events of May 23. This forum
does not permit space to lay out
the facts about teen drinking.
Suffice to say that alcohol use
among teens ii rampant, chronic
and a serious sod.al problem. To
isolate this particular group of
teenagers and point the collec-
tive figure of guilt at.them u
though their behavior was an
aberration is not only hypocriti-

cal, it ii fallacious and at odds
with reality.
As to the issue of parental
control. I can only speak to the
cammunity of parents who either
have adolescents in tow, or who
have not forgotten what it is like
to be the parent of a teenager in
late-20th-century America. Most
of this group-~ painfully aware
that the influence of parents is
limited, it is not absolute. The
fact is that the peer group, the
media and society.at large play
as much. and oftentimes more of
an influence on the thinking and
subsequent actions of our adoles-
cents than we do as parents.
Short of either chaining them
up or following them around
everywhere they go, I know of
no way to keep teenagers from
either making mistakes or ensur-
ing that they comply with
parental dictates.
I will not undertake a defense
of mt~y~e's style of parent-
ing in this letter. What I can say ls
that we have afways attempted to mow where our kids were, what
they were doing, and who they ·
were doing it with. While we
have b1ed to be vigilant parents,
we know that at times our little
darllngl have succeafully out-
flanked us in our efforts to guide
them in straight paths.
I am not swe why some
members of this community find·
it so easy to write or Speak so
judgmentally about people and .
things that, in reality, they pos-
sess so little accurate informa-
tion about. If they are parents,
maybe it all strikes too close to
home and they are afraid.
Maybe they are just given to
spouting off before they really
think things through. I don't
know. I only request that as they
express their support fo~ Judge
Dickey's merdful decision
toward young Ra\ISCh. they sus-
pend quick and self-righteous
judgment of the other survivors
of this tragedy.
Instead. they might wish to
give careful and measured ·
thought to the greater implica-
tions of this event viewin.Jlll not
as a microcosm, but see it instead
for its wider nmdficatlom.
U they do, they might find
themselves on the knees,
thanking God that chence-has

only then can the healing be

The odd thing is that two acci-

"I'm overwhelmed by it,~ he

COUNCIL
CONTINUED FROM 1
The majority of the council
agreed that if the new system
does not appear to be working,
the issue may be revisited.
In other action, the council:
• Okected its staff to aggres-
sively try to repair and reopen
Back Bay Drive before Sept. 15.
The city is in a disagreement
with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service as to when work on the
road, heavily damaged by the El
!\lino-driven storms of December
4nd February, could begin, said
P,ublic Works Director Don
Webb.
• The d.ty needs a permit from
the federal agency for the repair
work, be said. But since the road
bAs .~n closed to car, pedestri-
l\Il and bicycle traffic, the endan-
gered light-footed clapper rail 1!85 nested closer to the roadway
and the agency fears repair work
dould harm the birds' nesting
te.
The agency i.s asking the dty
tb wait until Sept. 15, when the
I)eStlng season ts over, to begin
construction. But Back Bay Drive
ii a popular spot for summer
recreation and dty offldals were
hoping to have it open by Aug. l
Jather than delay tlie opening
ilntil November. ·

Smith said the bomb was

design.
The students apparently
rigged a two-liter plastic soda
bottle with liquid and powder
chemicals inside and used bat-
teries and a 25-foot-long ignition
wire to set it off, Smith said.
Smith said the high-tech
design of the bomb leads police to
believe it wasn't .•an end-of-the-
school-year prank."

that the juveniles were trying to

Bell telephone was

If that was their goal, the stu-
dents failed.

two years about the regfonalized CIP Southern Sec-
tion playoff format be believed was fraught with
potential for inequity.
And though the section council voted two weeks
ago to abandon the regiohalized emphasis begin-
ning next fall, it wasn't in time to sav~ Glenn's
Sailors from a scenario that vindicates the veteran
coach's reproach.
•My complaint with regionalization was that it
created a di.Sadvantage for the top seed out of
Orange County," said Glenn, whose Tars fit that role
after a 17-0 regular-,season campaign that included
a Sea View League championship.
"The way the system works, the top seed stays in

Fountain Valley-capistrano Valley winner.
University won a three-team playoff Friday to
earn the Padftc Coest League's No. 3 playoff berth,
while Capo Valley eliminated the Tars in last year's
second round with a four-game triumph at Harbor.
Potential quarterfinal foes for the Sailors include
Dana Hills, litmttngton Beach and Marina, all of
which Glertn's squad defeated this spring in either
nonleague or tournament competition.
Mira Costa. the No. 4 seed and Newport's likely
semifinal opponent, fell to the Sailors in five games
in the se~n opener at the Sailors' gym.

The mere act of partsd-
pat1on will bring an.end to
a 15·year postseason

drought for the Costa Mesa High boys volleybell team. but
fellow CIP South.em Section Divilion m playoff entry
Corona del Mar will need much more than a C'Ul'IOry
appearance to satisfy it's nine-year itch.
The top-seeded Sea Kings (9·6) are looking to improve
upon their runner·.PP finish last spring and aeize thetr first
CIP crown since.1989.
CdM nosts Brethren Cbrlstlan (6-6) i1\ Friday's 7 p.m.
first·round match, while the MustaJigs (9'·5) will host Val-
ley Christian of Cerritos Friday ln ~eir tint pl.av.off match
since 1983.
Mesa, ranked 1ourth in the final Division m regular-sea-
son poll, was denied a top-four seed, fordng the Pacific
Coast League runner-up into CdM's eight-team region.
Campbell Hall, ranked fifth in the May 4 poll, took
advantage of Mesa's season-ending loss to Laguna Beach
to seize the No. 3 seed, between No. 2 Santa Ynez and No.
4 Crespi.
Mesa's fall from the top four could mean a Mesa·Cd.M
quarterfinal clash May 22.
Coach Yvette Ybarra's Mustangs are led by junior out-
side hitter BJ. Llghtvoet and senior setter Chris Shanley,
while Cd.M boasts a laundry list of talented players.
"We put six outstanding players on the court and we're
getting good.play from our bench too," Cd.M Coach Steve
Conti said. •That's what is making us a successful team.•
Among the Cd.M standouts: Greg Burden, Dennis
Alsbuler, Greg Coon, Kevin Hansen, Greg Stampley and
Mike Jackson.
If the seeds hold, Cd.M would face Santa Ynez, a lhree-
time defending section champion which topped the Sea
Kings in last year's final, in the May 30 championship
match at Cypress College.
VOLLEYBALL
CONTINUED FROM 6
Glenn said the four days
of practice this week will
help the Sailors.
"League was tough and
we're a little banged up,•
said Glenn, who will use
the extra preparation to
sharpen the timing
between junior setter Ty
1\"amblie and a host of tal-
ented hitters.
1\"amblle replaced h&r·
aided senior 1\"avis Nelson
(out for the year with a bro-
ken finger) with three
matches left in the regular
season.
"He's played well, but he
hasn't set that well," Glenn
said. "He needs to work on
the location of his sets, which
can only oom~ with time."
Glenn said 6-foot-7
junior middle blocker
Adam Hearlson is question-
able for ·University, after
spraining an ankle Thurs-
day in a five-game win at
Corona deJ Mar. It's the
same ankle which caused
him to miss several matches
earlier in the season and
doctors had indicated it
may require postseason
surgery to repair ligament
damage.
Harbor standouts set to
go include senion Scott
Archbold, Scott Dore and
Rick Robinson, as well u
juniors Matt Jameson and
Zach Wells.

(the nttons are S.17). •
C:dM gave Lew1s an early 2-0 lead in the
tint inning wpen Ryan Achterberg ud Nick
Hood scored on Hatfield's run-ptOdudng fiy
ball to center. field and aA infield error.
Then the Sea Kings began to flex their mus-
cles. They entered the game with 29 homers,
tied with the 1996 team (led by Kevin Stwlrt
and Chad Johnson) for the school's most in a
single season.
Ty Harper broke tbe record and walloped
Cd.M's 30th ding-dong of the·year in the third
inning with a solo shot to (where ellef) right·
center Held. That gave Lewis a 3-0 cushion.
The Sea Kings (9-12) scored four runs in the
fourth to bust things open as Hood and Hat-
field ripped two-run homers. .
hr the SJ.Xtb, Hatfield hammered his second
round-tripper of the game and his team's
fourth when he connected off San Clemente
reliever Steve Schroer for a solo job,
Lewis, meanwhile, mAde quick work of the
Tritons in the pulsating eeventh, falling behind
O-and-1 in the co\lllt to Adair, their No. 3 bitter,
before inducing a ground out to Thiede at
sh ortstop.
After jumping ahead 0-1 to Billy Conrad,
the next hitter, Lewis provoked another
groundball out to 1biede.
To end the no-hitter, Lewis fanned Schroer
on a 1-2 curveball in the dirt. Schroer chased it .
and missed, then Hatfield recorded the out by
firing to first baseman Ertc Wiethom.
Corona del Mar finished 4-0 in the Pride of
the Coast, but Royal and Camarillo will play
for the tournament title. CdM captured third
place.
The Sea Kings play Newport Harbor today
on the road. Lewis is not expected to start
again in his high school career. But what a way
to finish. ,... °" 1MI CIDAST T01-.rmn C'.GliallA aa MM I, SM Car Nft 0 s.n Clemente 000 000 0 • 0 0 1
