That is where the alternator comes in. It replaces the generators tbat were used to supply energy to cars' electrical systems until the 1970s, but were not efficient enough to meet the needs of later models. The development of silicone diodes led to lightweight and efficient alternators that offered 50% greater power-to- weight ratios over generators. n design that pennits output even at idle rpm, low maintenance, and the ability to rotate in either direction. These very dependable units should provide many years of trouble-free service. Hl'N'r. An alternator works on the principal of rotating a magnet around wire to produce voltage. GIVING YOUR CARA PLUG Car owners are often guilty of replacing spark plugs too freq.uenlly, discounting the fact that they may be designed to last up to 60,000 miles and more. Unnecessary replacement will not improve engine performance or economy. On the other hand, rough idle and eqgine misfire may be symptomatic of a fouled $park plug in need or replacement. If so. the bad park plua can be easily identifled with an engjoe analyur.

One of the neighbors living on the hill above the tree house, Stu.re Davldsson, also was a pri- mary factor in having the tree house tom down. Although not available for comment, he had !aid that some of the lumber he was planning to use for a kitchen expansion was stolen by the boys while they .were building the tree house. And, he said the seven- level structure wasn't safe for them to play· around. •My concern quite frankly is the safety of the children, because it's about 30 feet up,# he said. Blake Foster, Hunter Pei:iny- w.ell, Brian Rebard, Garrett Guiney, Bob and Jonathan Malanga and Elliot spent most of the day Sunday tearing up wood- en planks they had so carefully put together three years before. For some, it was fun. For others. it was a bittersweet moment. "We used to come here every single day," the boys said in uni· son. They said they used to buy snacks at nearby eateries and eat them high in the 30-foot-tall euCalyptus tree. Christopher Laurance, Elliot's father, dressed in aborts, sneak- ers and knee pads, worked alongside the pre-teens. He also brought a few croissants for a snack break. He said once all the lumber is down from the tree, it will be put in a dumpster and hauled away. "Hey, be careful of all these nails sticking up here," be yelled as he helped them take the tree house apart. Asked whether they plan to build another tree house some- where ~lse, the boys unanbnous· ly thought so. "We just have to find a good place; then we can build another one,· they said. But Christopher Laurance wasn't too optimistic. •You won't go to another tree,• he sternly told them. . For now, the owner of the vacant, hilly -property and Davidsson can breathe a sigh of relief. The infamous tree house is gone -and so are the kids who built it. 8R1AN POBUDA I DALY Pl.OT Elliot Laurance, left. and Garrett Guiney carry wood as they work to tear down the tree house.

Martinez sets state record at State Finals • She doubles, winning the 10,000 in record time, then wins 5,000, too, as Orange Coast dominates in long distance running. AZUSA -Araceli Martinez of Orange Coast College reigns as the state champion in the 10,000- meters following her state record tune of 36 minutes, 28.28 seconds Friday. -But that was just half of the story. Saturday she completed the double with a personal best 17:42.24 clocking to lead an awe- some perlormance by the Pirates' dic;tance corps. Martinez. an Estancia High product, along with fellow sopho- mores Mara Caples and Christine Riel, put on an awesome display of firepower to literally finish sixth in the state on a team level all by them.selves. "She was just fantastic," said OCC Coach Dave Fier, who CO· coaches the Pirates' distance nm- ners in Gordie Fitzel's track and field program at Coast. In both races Santa Barbara's Angela Isbill was the rabbit. HWe knew Isbill would take it out rast, H said Fier, "real fast. We Jc.new Araceli would have to take it out a lot raster, not to let her get too big of a lead.• Martinez caught the rabbit on the eighth of 25 laps, then began pulling away after 12 laps to win going away. Isbill was second in 36:47, and Caples was third in 37:54.79, also snapping the previ- ous state record. Thal set the stage for Saturday's <;how and Martinez & Co. did not disappoint. She stayed with Isbill virtually from the start and took command as Isbill pegan to with still 4112 laps te go m the 12112 -lap race. At the finish 1t was Martinez in first in a sterling time of 17:42.34, lsbtll following in 17:53, then the double-plUlch of Caples and Riel in llurd and fourth place. Caples clocked an 18:22.00, and Riel fol- lowed in 18:33.96. It was a.Jl,respedally impressive performance by Riel, who had lost cribcal time (four weeks) because of -d back injury, not returning compet- 1bvely until April 25. • Newport Harbor qualifies a .. horde of athletes at' Division Il preliminaries for Saturday's CIF track finals at Cerritos Coll~ge.

The Corona del Mar standout sped around the trade twice in a time of 2:17.44, ta.king top credentials into Saturday's CIF Finals at Cerritos College by the scant margin of .05 seconds over a Yucaipa entry. For Newport Harbor's legion of stand- outs, it was difficult to pick out the one and only blue chip as several lit up the scoring sheets. But in sheer terms of improvement it would be dUficult to overlook Dan Getlach, whose rise in the long JUll\P to fifth overa.ll send.I him to jhe Finals at Cerritos. ~It was just a great performance,• said Newport Harbor Coacp Bric 1\veit "Dan PR'd two weeks ago again.st Corona del Mar at 20-5, then last week he PR'd again with a 21-1 at the Sea View League finals.• Saturday it was another huge step up as Gerlach improved a full foot at 22-5 for the fifth-best effort fn the event.

He was thrilled about returning to the area and coached the Sailors' sophomore basketball teams for two years, then Estancia was born and Wetzel couldn't resist a head coaching mission . ·1.always felt that I was a very competitive guy, but I was probably more intense as a coach than a player,· be said. ·1 don't know why. That's just the way I am.• Wetzel's brother, Bob, the former OCC men's volleyball, was also a baseball standout, eventually playing in the minor leagues in the Cincinnati organization. But Bill Wetzel, a pitcher with a good beater and just wild enough to make hitters uncomfortable, said be blew his chance to sign a professional contract when the same scout who signed his brother came to watch him pitch one day against USC. •1 thought I was pretty good,· Wetzel said ·But USC that year had Ron Fairly and Don Buford, and I was trying to smoke it by them. They were the Nos. 3 and -4 hitters and they both hit these balls so bard, they went out of the ballpark back-to-back. -I knew that scout, Bobby Maddock, was there, and I think my career was over. I knew I was going into teaching.• As a junior for Newport Harbor's hoops team in 1953-54, Wetzel played guard under then-coach Jules Gage a5 the Sailors, led by Denny Fitzpatrick and Paul Neumann, won the Sunset League championship, finishing 17-4 overall As a senior, Wetzel moved to forward o.nd center as the Tars went 13~6 without Fitzpatrick (who went on to play for <::al) and Neumann (Stanford). Wetzel, though. had more skills in baseball. His first stop out of Newport Harbor was OCC, where Pickens' Pirates won a state championship in 1956, going 25-5 in Wetzel's freshman year. They finished 25-4 the following year and Wetzel earned a baseball scholarship to UC Santa Barbara, where he played in 1958 and '59. •1 definitely wo.nted to come back and teach in this area.· Wetzel said. "Now, if I want to ride my bike to breakfast on the beech in the m.oming, I am do it.· Estanda's grounds will never be quite the same. • • --- • • MONDAY, MAY 18, 1998 I Index II II ...... ,. .., ......
