Clarence Turner, who was mayor when Kevin Murphy was hired as Newport Beach city manager, was on his way to a recent airport committee meet- ing when he walked past a newspaper vending machine. The Pilot headline announcing the resignation of Murphy leaped out at him. He bought a paper and devoured the story, at first incredulous, then angry. Very angry. •1 don't get angry very often or very easily,• he told me the other day in his Costa Mesa real estate office. •But this absolutely floored me. We were remarkably lucky to have the continuing ser- vices of Kevin Murphy, who con- tributed so very much for so many years to the well-being of this city." It didn't help Turner's state of mind that Norma Glover -one of the City Council members who seemingly lowered the boom on Murphy -was attend- ing the same meeting and told Turner ·1 can't talk about it" when he asked in a considerable state of agitation what hap- pened. So two weeks later, I was in Turner's office trying to find answers to the ~e question but also to ask what -if any- thing -we can learn from Mur- phy's abrupt departure. And where better to direct that ques- tion than to Newport Beach's pre-eminent elder statesman - in service, that is, not age. Although he figures Murphy's resignation is now a •done thing ~ and he's still mad as hell, Turner was willing to look beyond what he considers a seri- ous -and unnecessary -set- back to the city to lessons we might learn. And at the top of the list, he would suggest that SEE BELL PAGE A16 . SIGN OF THE TIMES It may not be long before the U-Drfve sJgn is back In pl.ce 8t the Fun Zone In a.I boa. Italy, -~ AJ.

Mesa seeking help from consultant on reservOir ' • The water district board tonight will consider hiring firm to study options for unused storage basin outside of Newport Beach. EUSEGEE ~Pio! COSTA MESA -Mesa Consolidated Water District board members today will discuss whether to hire a firm to help determine the fate of the long-dormant San Joaquin Reservoir. The reservoir was drained in 1993 so a floating cover could be installed to improve water quality. However, that project was thwarted after a landslide in March 1995 sent a 450- foot-wide chunk of earth and a good por- tion of a retaining wall 50 feet into the reservoir. Mesa, which owns 20% of the reservoir, drew $914,800 from its emergency reserve fund to help pay for $4.4 million in repairs. Now, Mesa and seven other owners of the reservoir are trying to figure out what to qo with the reservoir, located east of Newport Beach. "It's a significant asset for Mesa," said Karl Kemp, the water district's general manager. •1t also has significant liabili- ties." Mesa board members will discuss whether to hire Bucknam & Associates to do an engineering and financial study of the reservoir. The study will list of options for the dis- trict. They include allc1t'Png the lrvine Ranch Water District to use the reservoir for reclaimed water and enclosing the reservoir. Other owners of the reservoir are the Irvine Ranch Water District, Metropolitan Water District, South Coast Water District, Laguna Beach Water District, The Irvine Co., and the cities of Newport Beach and ~ Huntington Beach. A joint study by the owners JS possible, but Mesa should be prepared to do the study by itself, Kemp said. Mesa historically has paid about $100,000 a year to maintain the reservoir. In addition to repairing the landslide, Mesa has had to pay about $50,000 a year to maintain the reservoir wlule it has been out of service. A July staff report said maintaining the reservoir is no longer cost-effective. "The question is: Do we want to contin- ue with a reservoir there and if so, what kind?" Kemp said. "If not, what does that mean?• The Mesa Consolidated Water District board will meet at 7 p.m . at 1965 Placentia Ave. •Not everybody wants to send 1lowen to a man," Stockland sa.id. nying to read the wishes of customers and give them the anangements they want, not just what lbe wants to create, ii also difficult, she Said.

JENlFEn RActANO ~fb NEwpORT BEACH The city's airport leaders have decided to ta~ South County dtles up on their offer of a new "good neigh~ bor" policy in the fight over a commercial airport at the El Toro Marine Corps Air Station. ' Tom Naughton, president of the Airport Working Group, sent a letter Tuesday to Paul Eckles, executive director of the El Toro Reuse Planning Authority, in response to a recent mass mailing by the coalition of seven South County cities. "We take your letter as a good faith expression of ETRPA's desire to work with us and the city of Newport Beach on soluti6ns that make sense for the region," the letter says. "We would be alarmed if th.is was just another publicity stunt by your organiza- tion." The Airport Working Group has offered to form two joint pow- ers authorities to deal with two issues involved in the reuse of El Toro: • The first joint powers author- ity Would be made u~ of Newport Beach, Irvine, l.!ake Forest, Orange County, 1).lstin anc;l Ana- heim -those co'rnmunities with the greatest sta,ke in the future of aviation in th~ region. The pur- pose ·of the group would be to operate Jobb Wayne Airport and El Toro as a two-airport system. • A separate authority -made up of all 31 cities and the county -would deal with development of the non-aviation land at El Toro to maximize revenue frol'.Jl the land. The money would be divid- ed among cities and school dis- tricts in the county. "I think it's a very promising concept,• said Mayor Tom Edwards, who compared the process to one child cutting a piece of pie in half and letting the other child choose f~t. "I: keeps everyone honest." But could the two sides, which have fought each other tooth and nail for the past two years, really work it out?

But Eckles is not so sure. He said he just received Naughton's letter Wednesday, and he is still work)pg' on the group's next move. "We certainly are not interest- ed in a Joint Powers Authority that would have. the objective of building an airport at El To'ro, • he· said. ·we are interested in the opportunity to s~lve this problem without causing aggravation tp either side of the county." Right now, Eckles said he thinks it's impossible for El Toro to be used at all for aviation and not be delrimental to South County cities. "We can't believe there aren't other solutions since there are air- ports in neighboring counties that want to expand," Eckles said. "We don't tlunk Orange County will go down the tubes without an airport at El Toro or an expanded John W~yne." One of those proposed solu- tions is a high-speed rail trans- portation system to outlying air- ports. Accord.irtg to Naughton's letter, airport proponents are not interested in th.at sofotion, given its history of failure in Orange County. While the sides may still be far from consensus, it appears as lf they are at least inching toward one another. "We are serious about out intent and offer to open some dis- cussions and find some solution that doesn't do any harm to the people of Newport Beach or South County,• Eckles said. "That's an offer we can't turn our backs on because we have been look.mg for a number of years to find some common ground,• Naughton said.

Newport Beach/Costa Mesa Daily Pilot Thursday, Avgvst 27, 1998 Accused sex offender seeks dismissal of case I I Schools crack ·down on absences •James Lee Crummel's attorney made motion to dismiss charges that he molested a 16-year-old. C1t1 (, fll'>UM. I ·' IWf Pb ' . NEWPORT BEACH .f. Con- victed sex attender J~es l;-ee Crummel was relumcdjto Orange County on Wedncsda¥ lo be pros- ecuted on charges of molesting a , 16-year-old boy almost four yea.rs ago. Prosecutors have been dwait- ing C rummel's extradition from San Bernardino County, where he was recently s.entenced to 10 years in state prison for raping a minor in Big Bear Lake. Crumrnel, 54, appeared m Harbor Justice Center on Wednesday weanng handcuffs and an orange jumpswt. His defense attorney, James Chatter- ton, tiled a motion to dismiss the case. Chatterton argued that his client's legal right to a prelinu- nary hearing within 10 court dates or 60 calendar days of his May 28 arraignnymt was violated. "It's my belief that require- ment wasn't met in this case," Chatterton said. The prosecution will have an opportunity to determine whether there was legal justification for the delay, but Chatterton said he believes he has good cause for the motion to dismiss. Prosecutors hdve charged Crummel and Burnell Gordon Forgey, a prominent Newport Beach psychiatrist, with 16 counts of child molestation. Police arrest- ed Forgey in May alter the victim, now 19, allegedly told them that Crummel and Forgey, 80, had sex with him in Forgey's Newport Crest condominium several times between December· 1994 and May 1995. Crwrunel lived with Forgey until his arrest on the S~ Bernardino County charges m May 1997. . . . . Crurrunel also is awaiting trial in . Riverside County, where authorities believe he is responsi- ble for the murder of Jamey Trot- ter, a 13-year-old Costa Mesa boy who disappeared in 1979. Crum- mel reported finding the child's remains while hiking near Ortega Highway in 1990. Deputy District Attorney Stephanie Deamon has indicated that she would like to have one trial for both Crummel and Forgey. The new developments may force Deamon to refile the case against Crummel before Sept. 21, when Forgey's trial is scheduled to begin. A motions hearing 'was set for Sept. 2. If Judge Marg~et ~der­ son denies the defense s motion to dismiss the case, a preliminary hearing may be held on the same date. l i I I i 11 ~I I\' !\1A ... ll\I I NEWPORT-MESA -To comply with a i new state regulabon, the school dlstnct will be i clamping down on student absences, both ! excused and unexcused. i Under the new reguldtion, the state wlll no j longer d1stinguish between e~~used and : unexcused dbsences m determmmg school ! funding. lf a student rrusses schoql, the distnct i wlll lose the $22.t;O per day the state pays the j district to educate that student. . i Newport-Mesd receives about 75.6% of its j budget, or $77 6 million, from student atten- l ddnce. j A large percentdgc of the daily attendance l funds comes from local propercy taxes, and j dbout 4.5% is directly from the state. l Under the state's former school-funding · system, the dlStnct received the dally allocd- tion u d student's absence was excused.

DICK SOTH Balboa Island Hats off to the new columnists in Pilot What struck me as incredibly remarkable were the wildly dls- parate opinions of the local comrnuruty regarding their favorite Fred Martin replace- ment. Discounting their almost universal love for speedy Rollerbladers (wink), you can't ever truly gauge what'U inspire, anger, titillate or enliven the day of a Daily Pilot reader, and they're certainly not shy about letting you know as we ll. As a columnist finalist, I e njoyed my fellow contestants' unique writing styles and points of view. I suppose if we all delighted in the same things in life, Baskin-Robbins would only be selling scoops of vanilla. Congratulations to Steve Smith and the team of Chrisb.n Camey and Nancy Gardner. I'd love to add, with your indul- ge nce please, that it was a small, special part of my We being considered, and a privi- lege sharing it with all of you (yes, the embarrassment tool). KURTKONAI Newport Beach Don't turn job center into private business Having moved mto Costa Mesa two years ago, one of the first things I nobced was the crowd on 17th Street at the Jobs Center ri.aborers seek to block privatization of city JOb agency," Aug. 13). When I mquired about the purpose of it, J thought that it had to be the most amazingly simple and socially progresstve thing that I had heard: to a ctu- ally use tax money to allow people an opportunity to put in an honest day's labor, to pro- vide a sate environment for them to actually work and put food on their families' tables, to cut through the language and bureaucracy traps. give these guys a chance to help local individuals and industry and hold onto their self-respect- all in one fell swoop. Brilliant! When it came time for our move last October, I contacted Christine at the center, and she explained the "rules" and booked me three guys, who showed up on time and put in a really hard day. My husband has moved more than 39 times, and I have moved more than 23 times. We were more than hap- py with the great job that the guys did. I followed up with the center to tell them so. We chose to book through the center' because I knew that these guys needed and wanted to work, and I felt that they deserved that opportunity. As to the allegations made m ·your article regarding the legal status of these fellows, for heav- en's sake let's use our heads about this. The re is no shortage of jobs in the area that I am aware of, and every other shop I pass in tbR neighborhood has a help wanted sign. These guys are here and ready to work. Why not just let them? As the fellow in your article said, "lf we had other possibili- ties, we would not be h ere." Pledse don't turn the center over, as the expense involved in the operauon seems minimal compared with the welcome addition these guys make to our labor force. ROBIN O'CONNOR Newport Beach Running DUI list has its pros and cons Boy are you way off base, Mike Ballard (Mallbag, #DUJ list in newspaper is un-Ameri- can, • Aug. 6). It's un-American to get behind the wheel of your car drunk and cause lifelong pain to a family. Do you have someone in your family who was killed or injured in an accident caused by a drunken driver? We do. Our 26-year-old son, Matt, made the bad choice of getting into a car with a drunken dri- ver. He was 19 at the time, and be suffered a traumatic head injury by being ejected from the car. He was in a coma for three months, m the hospital for intensive rehabilitabon another five months and continues today struggling with his paral- ysis and cognitive deficits. He is renunded each day of how stupid his friend was to get behind the wheel. He will have lifelong dlsabilities. I wish drunken drivers were listed like sex offenders. Moth- ers Against Drunk Driving sta- tistics show someone is killed by a drunken driver every 32 CORRESPONDENCE seconds; 17, 126 m 1996. More than 1 million llre injured in alcohol-related crashes. About two in every five Americans will be involved in an alcohol-related crash. In the past decade, four times as many Americans died in drunk- en-drivmg crashes as were killed in the Vietnam War. Drunken driving is the nation's most freque ntly com- mitted violent crime. And Cali- fornia leads the nation. This is why we thank the Daily Pilot for publishing the names of people arrest for om in our community. I think they should w ear a bumper sticker on their cars warning of the danger of having them on the road. Thank goodness it isn't a secret. l Jove living behind the O range Curtain. GAY WASSAU-KEUY Balboa This letter is in response lo the lette r from Mike Ballard about your DUl arrest list. When one is in trouble with the law, the last thing he needs is to have his name in the newspaper for a crime which be has not bee n convicted of. His driver's license has been revoked, he's got to find a way to g el to work {assuming he's still got a job), he's facing possi- ble jall tirpe, stlf f fines, Alco- holic Anonymous meetings, court heanngs and attorney fees, and lus tile is probably in a mess anyway. Ballard is right. In the United States, a person charged with a crime is innocent until proved guilty in a court of law. Whal interest is served by your publishing the names of those arrested for driving under the influence? Deterrence? Too late. Embarrassment? What's the point? Do you think you're provid- ing a service to the community? Don't you have anything bet- ter to pay your employees for, like reporting some real news? I've never seen you publish the names of those acquitted ofdriving under the influence. Do you think that's fair? Ballard must realize, howe v- er, that there are many •ultra- conservative ignorant Republi- cans" behind thls Orange Cur- tain who do not think that con- victing someone by tarring and feathering them in the •town square" is justice. That's why we have a jury system. Remem- ber those juror summonses you occasionally get in the mail that you probably try to dodge? You can add me to your list of canceled subscribers. MARY GRADY Balboa Island Port Theatre is ~like an old friend, The Port Theatre was a popular pot for local res- idents to watch movies over the 'fears. But no longer.

DON l!AC!iOMY P'IOT 1 I just retilmed to Costa Mesa after traveling in Europe for three months, and it's been a llille bit of a culture shock in a disappointing way ("The last picture show," Aug. 21).

Finl they tore down the MeN to put in a Borders. What a joke. The last thing that Costa Mesa needs, in my opinion, ls another bookstore- muaic<Off eehoute. It is kind of rldicUIOUI. And now the Port, which was a greet theater. I saw •Jbe GOdfather• there on the big ICfeen. I always had a little bit of faith in Corona del Mar because J thought it still had 1<>rne character. But now, I don't know. My dad says ii you destroy things that are 50 years old, then how do you ever have things that are 100 years oldl It's a shame. I'm just glad that the demolition romm.ittee here in Costa Mesa. the-make-every- thing-the-same committee, doesn't live down the street from the Roman Forum or the Coliseum. SHtMA SOFFER Costa Mesa I grew up in Corona del Mar about a block and a half from the Port. I have a lot of fond memories, childhood memories. They used to have an Baster egg hunt along with a Saturday matinee -ftee movie, just bring two Easter eggs, and they would bide them over at the old youth center. And after the movie, you could go for an Easter egg hunt. I bad my first date at the Port Theatre. We have to save at.

SHARON VM AlST1NE Santa Ana Newport Beach/Costa Mesa Doily Pik>t READERS RISPOID • ~ , A few tho~[Jhts on test scores 1 •.AT ISSl:JE: Locals respond to Standard 9 results. Of course fluent, English-proficie nt students' scores are .higher " than the English-only students on the Stanford 9 test, and it .. has · nothing to do with the fact that they speak two languages ( New English speaker!> scored b1gh, •Aug. 5). You had fo read to the end of the article to get the real picture. . _ . In order to be classified as English-profioent, the student has to score above the 36 percentile on a standardized test. Therefore, they , are representing the top two-thirds of that g~up of students. That's different from an all-student pot like the English-only group that includes the bottom third. / . lf you want to do a fair comparison, compare. the top two-thirds of English-only students with these English-profic1e nt students and report on that. This article served to give people who read only the tro.n_t page the impression that somehow being bilingual or having had bilingual education caused students to score high. In fact. bilingual students have had a multitude of speriaJ services provided them that has been denied to the bottom third of English-only students. CAROL HALBACH Costa Mesa Take a good look at the pictu re that was J?rinled next to J?oro~y A. Young's commPnlclty Aug. 6 ("Colll1,!luruty.Porum -.Fund-r&S- ing efforts give some schools advanlclge ). Behmd the child.re~ are a group of happy, smiling and supportive parents.

I'd like her to come and explain that to the many families who spend hours in the classroom free of charge helpmg students. Or explain that to ~e chil- dren who go home and actually do their homework, read 30 mmutes a day and don't watch very much television. They are probably under the asswnption that it is bard work that pays off. Also, the Spirit Run she refers to is a good example of how three elementary schools work together to raise money to share. It talces hundreds of people and hundreds of hours of volunteer work, but it is successful for all three schools. Instead of knocking it, s he might try finding something similar for her own schools.

Newport Beach's investigation t\aS not been completed and the city is still trying to decide whether to bring in outside consultants. Costa Mesa, on the other hand, has concluded its mvestigation and bas determined that the city is not to blame for flood damage residents suffered during the El Nino storms, said Costa Mesa Risk Manager Karen Adams. ·we weTe able to venfy that the systems hact been properly main- tained and a lot of preparation had been done by Publlt:: Services staff m cleaning the drains and making sure they were clear and unob· structed," Adams said. Adams said the flooding had nothing to do with any madequacy of the city's storm drain system. "The system was sunply filled,· Adams said. "There was no place else for the water to go. The city could not control that.• A group of Costa Mesa citizens who live at the bottom of Canyon \ Call The Rabbitts ••• Then Relax! Park in Seabluff Canyon Village said the city could have reduced the magnitude of flooding in their neighborhood. Residents in the Canyon Park area filed 14 of the 43 claims. Karen Hanners lives in Newport Beach, but her property abuts Canyon Park and she is taldng her $5,000 case to small claims court Sept. 8 . Hanners is the only person to take her case to court so far, but oth- ers, including Cheryl KepJer, are reddy to sue. , Kepler cites an engineering study paid for by her neighborhood association.. The study, performed by Javon Consulting Co., said the city should reimburse residents because grad.mg done by the' city contributed to flooding. "They obviousty didn't grade it properly because the grading is causing the water to come into our homes instead of into the creek bed,• Kepler said. Kepler said the city has also attempted to mitigate the problem during the last six years. "Every year l would complain some more,• Kepler said. "Each year there was a little more mitiga- bon. • Mike Kratzer acknowledges that there would have been some flood- ing, but said much of the damage could have been avoided if the grading had been done properly, directing the water to drain m a path behind the homes in~tead of through them. Kratzer and many of his neigh· bars still have not completed repairs to their homes. •rm hesitant about doing it until they regrade," Kratzer said. "My life is still in limbo because of this.• Costa Mesa has retained the ser· vices of the law firm Woodruff, Spradlin and Smart to investigate i flood damage claims. l. Attorney Dan Spradlin said the city can sympa~e with residents, but also has to act in the best inter- ests of the rest of the citizens. "The city of Costa Mesa tries to _i,,':::. be proactive in the sense that it the city believes it has responsibility for something, the city will step up and take responsibility," Spradlin said. But the city does not appear to be \ responsible, Spradlin said. ·1 don't think damage occurred as a result of any unreasonable con- duct on the part of the city,• Spradlin said.

The crew has maintained that Mexican offiodls wanted a bribe before they let them go. "It's a complete joke,• said Kramer, exuding no hwnor. "They haven't presented all of our evidence in court, and the federales didn't show any surprise about the guns when they first boarded. It's been sow from the start.• Kramer has been McClung's right-hand man during the crisis. When the three men were initially jailec;i, .Kramer and others stayed in the jail lobby, bringing fresh f.ood and clean clothes to their friends. When McClung col- lapsed in court upon hearing he wouldn't be freed, Kra.mer slept in a nearby bed in his hos- pital room. He added 'that McClung is unprov- ing, but the ordeal hasn't been healthy for bun "He loves the outdoors ... he practically lives on that boat," Kramer said. "It's been a lot of pressure for him. He's used to being in control. He doesn't have that right now.• Kramer and McClung forged their fnend- ship through the youth mirustry at Mariners South Coast Church in l.rvi.ne.

What makes th.ts case dlfferent, he said, is the "prior adversarial context,• meaning de Boom was think.lng of running because he was angry with Glover for Murphy's resignation, not because he had a gene ral mterest in local gov- ernment. "What makes it newsworthy is you have a doc- pmented offer to minimize what is frankly not much of a threat in electoral politics -a write-in Campaign," Petracca said. Petracca sdid another "layer of complexity" in this cdse is that in Newport Beach, candidates are elected citywide, but they must live in certain areds of the aty. "Not 1ust anybody could challenge her. It would have to be somebody who had a shot at taking her out who lives in the same area she does,• he said. "She understands that if she pre- vents him from running, the prospect of someone else stepping forward with the same name recog- nition who lives in her area is much less." Jerr Adler, a Long Beach-based political con- sultant, agreed. "It appears Ms. Glover is giving the public an inside look on the real workings of politics," he said. "This kind of exchange happens all the time in politics, but what's odd about this is that it's in writing." Adler also wondered if the letter could be a violation of state law. According to the state elections code section 18205, it is a felony to induce someone to not become a candidate for public office by offering money or any "other valuable consideration." "While I'm certainly not a legal expert, the law is straightforward and seems to be addressing sit- uations exactly like the letter in question," he said. "However, these are very difficult cases to prosecute because a jury has to be convinced that there was an intent to induce another person to quit the race." According to the code, a conVlction is punish- able by 16 months to three years in state prison.

In Russel's case, he was con- victed of prowling on private property and peeping. Where Lyman's case differs is that the three women on the tape were fully clothed artd he claims he didn't breach their privacy in a public place.
