Hodgkinson served as chief from 1928 to 1953, watching the department • grow from Look1it seven officers BA( to 25 -not including the 25reserve -officers -said Sgt. Steve Shulman, spokesman for the Newport Beach Police Dept. The Kansas native started out as a motorcycle officer in 1927 without any prior train- ing in law enforcement, said Gardner, a longtime local. He was elected police chief a year later. Before then, marshals led the deparbnent. When N ew- port Beach decided to switch to electing its chiefs, it changed the way the lead officer was perceived. Hodgkinson's arrival intimi- dated the night crawlers. the judge said. "If you got drunk and obnoxious, you had to be careful when you walked past him in the alley 'cause he'd reach out and· grab you,• said Gardner, who knew the former chief as a friend and brother-in-law. But he controlled the town with grace, Gardner remem- bers. Thousands of visitors would fiock to a local dance hall at nigli~ Gambling joints dotted Balboa perunsula. And sure, it was Prohibibon. 'but alcohol was sold for 25 cents an ounce at a once well-known little drug store. "It was a wide open town, and he went along with it. All the cops went along with it,· Gardner said.

Before joining the depart- ment. Hodgkin- ·.son operat- ed the Snug Har- bor Restau- rant near the Balboa pier. He was one of the city's first pa.id life- guards, Shulman said, and he was a World War I veteran, having served in the Navy. He was also a member of the local A.{nerican Legion Pei>sl and the Elles Lodge. After Gardner graduated • from law school, the chief gave him a job at the police department •. ·1 was going to starve if it wasn't for him,• the judge said. But Hodgkinson's rebre- ment in 1953 was somewhat mixed in controversy. He was accused o"'t accepting bribes and not paying income tax on about $20,000, Gardner said. The matter was brought to court and cleared, and the chief retired. "He left under a cloud,• Gardner said. But a group of local ob- zens formed a fund that P8>d Hodgkinson a chief's salary for the rest of his life. Al age 72, while on vaca- tion with his wife Marian, Hodgkinson died in a Palm Springs hospital. Gardner said Hodgkinson was a fascinating guy. though he admits he is a bit biased because of his person- al relallonship.

"We have many women volunteers, but they normally do the behind-the-scenes stuff. Although there are a few women who do actual building; the majority of those volunteers are always men." The house will be Habitat for Humanity of Orange County's first ·women's build• house. although women volunteering at other chapters of the nabonal organization have built several homes m the United States. Thomas said the organization decided to make one of the houses a women's project to "really draw attention to the fact that women can do anything" and to get the "other half" of the work.force involved in eliminating subslandar9 housing. "We feel if we can mobih.ze the female half to build as well, there will just be more people building,· she said. The Orange County chapter, whlch opened in 1988, has built 84 homes throughout the county. Two of those homes are m Costa Mesa. including one on Wallace Street and another on Del Mar Avenue, across the street from the site for the three new homes.

"I believe that grades and the level of class taken are more indicative of college suc- cess than the SAT,• said Diana Carey, principal of Costa Mesa High School. With the all the indicators and advanced placement class- es now available at the high school level, she said, she feels the time for the test has passed. •My own personal view is that it's a lot of stress on the kids that is not necessary,• she said.

Crystal Cove meetings need to be p-µblic C ompldmts about d proposed resort al Crystal Cove State Park boiled down to a few hard points. Opponents said the luxury hotel's $375-a-night room rates were a terrible fit for the cove's rustic feel. They worried the cove's hjs- toric cottages would fdll into disrepair if the buildings were not the focus of dltention and care. And, most of all, they attdcked the state for strikmg what they called a secret deal with developer Michael Freed, who proposed lhe $35-millton resort. Thal deal is now all but dead, and the slate 1s working on both figuring out how to buy Freed out of his contract and deciding what to do with the cove. At this pornt, the state has the opportunity to remedy this list of extremely legitimate con- cerns, beginning first and fore- most by including the publJc early and often m discussions about the cove's future. The California Codslal Con- servancy is set to consider using state park bond money for the buyout at its March 22 ~eeting. Notices about public meetings on the cove are scheduled to go out in April. ALI of these meet- ings need to be publicized to e\!ery extent possible. When such hearings are well advertised , they tum into nights like Jan. 18, when some 600 people crammed into an audito- rium at Lincoln Elementary School to hear about Freed's now-defunct plans. The state and any developer who may become involved need to understand that there is that much concern about what hap- pens at Crystal Cove. But the weight of keeping discussions about the cove's future public does not rest sole- ly on the state's shoulders. Already, a group of environ- mentalists -including heiress Joan Irvine Smith, Alliance to Rescue Crystal Cove founder Laura Davick and members of the Sierra C lub -has met to work out ideas. Their discussions have been behind closed doors. They need to make sure they don't make the same rniSta1te that they accused stale officials of mak- ing in the Freed deal. SEAN Hit.HR I OAll.Y Pll.01 With the lmminent death of the proposed luxury resort at Crystal Cove, the state has to decide how to develop the land. Why are some things so hard fo r City Hall 4to fix? No dial lone. Ne grass. These problems - more typical of some- one's home -ar~ plaguing Newport Beach and Costa Mesa city halls. ln the case of the lack of grass at Cos- ta Mesa's Fann Sports Complex. the problem has been around for years. With au the rain m recent weeks, the grass still isn't vibrant, but city officials are reassuring residents, dgain, that everything ts fine and the grass this summer will be so lush that others will get green with e nvy. Imagine U your neighbor couldn't figure out how to thrQw a little fertilizer on the front lawn. Alter a few years of watching the brown wisps of grass blow in the wind, you'd probably off er lo help re-se d and maybe even add some new top IOU. It bun't gotten to that point, t yet, al the Fairview Road park, but if another spring comes and nothing springs to life, residents might be forced to puU out their own backhoes. In Newport Beach, the prob- lem is one Ma Bell wouJd love but also one that is forcing the city to spend $100,000 on a new phone system. In the past months, severaJ council members have been among the callers lost in th~ city's present voicemail system. Now, following a few inqulries, the city is about to install the new, interactive one that promises to be more customer- f rlendly. Problem solved, apparently, and none too soon. Think about tt: Again imagine lf your neigh· bor's answering machine left you constantly in limbo. Eventually you'd stop calling. Unless tt wu to scream about the dead lawn. l t • How To GET- "If someone had an actual need for an immediate response, dispatchers could be tied up answering questions like 'What is the bright light in the sky?'

Daily Pilot SEAN HIU.ER I OAK.Y PllOT Javier Antunez fears he will lose his El Camino Center store if housing developers have their way. Oeaning up Mesa Del Mar neighborhood is not racist I am a homeowner in Mesa Del Mar. I attended th e Planning Commission's hearing on the rezoning of the El Camino Shop- ping Center to medium density housing, and was one of the homeowners who spoke in favor of the change. Thank you plan- ning commissioners for finally helping us take back our neighborhood! There is still much work to be done. but this is a good start. However, I am disappointed in.- the comments made by some of the nearby apartment dwellers and store owners, the majonty of whom are Latino. They are so quick to label us as racists wanting to rid our neighborhood of all minorities, tlS though there was some covert conspiracy against them as Lati- nos, instead of actually looking at the facts of the matter. The El Camino Shopping Center is an old, run-down, ugly, useless, outdated commerciaJ property that was doomed to fail right from the start. It should never have been zoned in the \ Michael Dilsisian SOUNDING BOARD ,J nuddle of a residential commuru- ty, as with the apartments that ' should never have been zoned in the nuddle of a single·family,res- 1denllal community.• The shopping center has out- lJVed its u5efulness. It was built m an attempt to provide a conve- mence to the surrounding homes 35 years ago and has not done that for many, many y~ars. The center is now a haven for loiterers. drug users and sellers, drunkards. prostitutes. homeless. Uueves. muggers and the list goes on. Just ask the surrounding homeowners who have to put up with all the noise and Vlolence on a daily basis, into the wee hours of the night. Has this any- thing lo do with racism? No landlord is going to pour out capital lo renovate a com- merciaJ center that will never make enough money. You will never attract m~jor retail chains to such a location to make it work. Th.is is not rocket science. Some of these Latino apart- ment dwellers complain that they will no longer have a place to shop when the shopping center is demolished. Have they not seen the multitude of retail ser- vices available all along Baker Street? All we are trying to do is make our neighborhood and city a more beautiful and safer place to live. All we are trying to do is lo get rid of the "slums" that sur- round many of our beautiful resi- dential neighborhoods. What's wrong with that? -1 must also correct the Daily Pilot's news story that reported the homeowners only collected 300 signatures in favor of the re- zoning l wHomes in El Camino Center's future,~ f:eb. 28). They actually collected nearly 400 signatures. That's about half the number of homes in Mesa Del Mar. • MtcHAB. DILStSIA.N is a Costa Mesa resident. Columnist missed a spot with his broad brush W e appreciate the inte rest Byron de Arakal has shown in the future of Westside Costa Mesa. and we recognize that columnists often paint with a broad brush. However, de ArakaJ's column of Feb. 21 (wLeaders without ears, beware the quaking ground beneath you•) seriously erred in portraying us, Tom a nd Eleanor Egan, as being opposed to •visioning. • That word has been widely misused and misunderstood. So- called "visioning" ls just the first step, to be followed by strategic planning, then implementation, (as in •Ready, Aim: Fire·) in a Jong-range planning effort. Par from opposing it, we have been working hard for nearly two years to bring conununity-dri- ven, long-range planning to Costa Mesa. We certainly don't want to delay the improvement of the Westside, even by one second. That's why we are concerned that redevelopment not be stalled by endless strife among the conllictlng interests involved, wasting precious time and money. Redevelopment of the Westslde must not be done piecemeal, without an overolJ plan. Haphazard, plec~eel devel· opment brought abOut mony of the WI from which the Wemtdo now 1ulfen. It'• true that build- .. Tom and Eleonor Egan COMMUNITY COMMENTARY ing community and being sys- tematic often seem to take too much time at the beginning. But it's worth it, as it saves time and money in the long run. As the speakers from Laguna Beach who came to Costa Mesa's City Council retreat emphasized, the community- buUding part is vital and cannot be glossed over. Without full participation by the community, any redevelopment effort is like- ly to be torpedoed by one group or another, and the effort will end up on the shell. Since it seems to be generally agreed that there is lltUe sense or community in Costa Mesa, it is important to work at building community. ln order to avoid repeating the sad history of the Westslde specific plan effort, the differing interests must actually confront one another in open meetings and hammer out solutlom together. We are confident thet people who heve differing ideas ond desires -dttzem, businest ownen, property owners a.nd leaders of rellqiou1 institutions and other local OJVanl2atiom - can craft a plan that all C4ll accept. Without thil ltep, improvement of the Westlide nusy not take place, and the fall· ' I ure may leave hard feelings all around, delaying improvement even further. De Arakal correctly pointed out that citizen activists care deeply about our dty. However, we can be fractious and con- tentious, and are likely to differ sharply on both the details and on the process of getting from point A to point B. (We even dis- agree with each other from time to time!) So it's no surprise to gee some activists, eager to see real change ASAP, rejecting any focus on an orderly process and- hungering for tangible signs of progress. We hope de Arakal will learn the differences in epproach and philosophy among the various civic activilts so that he can paint '1!th a liner bruth.

' Daily Pilot COMMUNfIY FORUM Art for education's sake Don Gregory argues for a cultural center in N ewport Beach A PLACE TO CREATE "What the vis~on was is not to have a performance center. We want classrooms where young people can work for the first tim e sculpting, pai nting, with teachers who can m en tor them. We want .. con tern plat ive space where people can sit and talk, maybe with sculptures, much like many cities have. " A MESSAGE TO THE CITY COUNCIL "Don 't listen to the special interests. Don't be cowed by the few. Th e problem with this city is that people who are ag ainst something are vocal. The ones who are fo r it, aren 't. If yo u gave me 40% of the voters who say, 'Leave that si te open space,' you w ouldn't see Don G regory doing any thing there." L ast week , after som e heat- ed discussion, the Newport Beach City Council voted to d ecide at its n ext meet- ing whether it will support plans for _an.arts and education cen~er on ope n space behind the Newport Beach Central Library. The issue has been a divisive one because the 12 acres are among the few remaWng open spaces in the city. It has pitted members of the city's Arts Commis- sion against m embers of the Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission and local environmen- talists, including Stop Polluting Our Newport. Arts Commission er Don G regory h as been leading the effort to get the $12-rnillion project built. He approached the council last week with a proposal to survey residents to gauge their support of the plan . The survey would b e pa id for by an anonymous donor. Gregory sat down with Pilot C ity Editor S.J. Cahn to discuss the p lan, why he thinks Newport Beach needs the arts center, and how he thinks the council will vote later this month. Descrtbe what you envision for the proposed arts and education center1 There's a central library that houses books and computers and helps a lot of young people. I see a lot of them doing their homework there. And the _ Central Library has been known as the place that is going to be the center of cultural activity in Newport Beach over the next 10 years. And it seemed logical to have an extension of that cultural center near the Central Library. And that would be on the open space behind the library. What the vision was is not to have a performance center. We want dass- rooms where young people can work for the first time sculpting, painting, with teachers who can mentor them. We want contemplative space where people can _sit and talk, maybe with sculptures, much like many cities have. We also wanted an auditorium that would alleviate the library's burden. They have a very small auditorium. The library facility just doesn't have the room. We want to build a 400-seat auditorium, approximately, that has a llttle ·oy space.· a little "wing space.· Why does Newport Beach need an arts and education center1 I've .answered that, in part, by say- ing there's such a dearth of space for students to learn and perform. Secondly is that Newport Beach is talked about by Newport Beach lead- ers as the shirung light of Orange County. But it's the only place I know that doesn't have an arts cen ter, a place for arts education. I feel that cul- ture is the heart of any city. lt helps develop that heart. I don't understand why the open- space advocates are so intent on squashing this just so it can remain open space. There are many times that we become the very thing we're against. And I think the environmen- talists started by taking a look at the out-of-control growth and said, "We've got to put a stop to this.• And they've become so entrenched that they've become the establishment. And I think that's just as wrong as indisoimina te growth. They say they want balance, but that 1Sn't true. What dJd you hope to achieve with the proposed survey of Newport Beach resldents1 The vocal pdrt of the opposition has around 20 to 25 people. I'm going to be liberal and say 35. Then there are 70,000 people livmg in the commuruty, and I'll guess that 48,000 vote. By what criteria is there opposluon? Because or 35 people? The seven counal people are supposed to repre- sent the ma1ority. That' survey was not supposed to be a public opinion poll. It was to find out lf there was mearung- ful support. It would be a meaningful cross-section to find out what the pub- lic support is for an arts and education center on that open Speice: Is 1t a good idea to have 3.5 acres for an arts and education center? We wdllt to be able to provtde the needed parking for the library. It would be an underground parking structure that you would nev- er see. People are very urunfonned. We want an arts and education center and a park. Are there other places where a cente r could go1 Where are they1 I can think of one other place. I know nollung of the terrain. 1 don't know what nightmares there would be. I believe the oty owns it. It's called Bayview Terrace, al Jamboree and PCH. But that's the only other place. But, again, it isn't as logica.\, We have plans for a walkway bndge between the center and the library. J don't know any other place thdt wouldn't be Ulaccessible. To put it al the Port Theate r IS such a ridiculous idea. The problem is it's a theater I m not loolang to replicate the Balboa Perform.mg Arts Theater. What about parking? We're not looking to leaved blood bath, so we can say it's done There's Just no room at any school We were approached by (Orange Coast College officials]·to find out lf we could build a few more classrooms if they would fund it.

SANDRA BASMAOYAN Corona del Mar Time to make a stand against bigotry Bill Turp1t made a lot of good pomts m lus essay "Who Belongs m Costa Mesa?" Commuruty Forum, Feb.4. But he was also far too polite. From Orville Amburgey's attempts to ban day laborers to Chris Steel's recent efforts to usurp the power of the fed- eral government and mvesti- gate the cilizenstup status of volunteer comnussion mem- bers, Costa Mesa has had a long history of bizarre anti· Latino polloes. Combine that wtth City Hall's extraordinarily poor record promoting Lat:mos to management positions. despite the fact that they make up nearly a thud of the oty's population. and 1t seems ·there is a pattern of ofhaally sanctioned and supported discrurunabon. Turp1l's essay was well- mearung. but if he ever hopes to put an end to the entrenched,IDStltubona.l.Lzed bigotry or Costa Mesa's pow- er elite, he, like· the oty's Latino commuruty, is gomg to have to be a little more assertlve.

Bllt, he mif:lht have never wound up in Costa Mesa, then Newport Beach, unless the Great Depression had not forced his parents and grandparents out of Stockton. Job oppo_rtunities ~p north were hard to come by, but one day in 1928, his grandfather, Dr. H.Q . Willis, gathered the family together and disclosed"there was no doctor in a place called Costa Mesa. Hence, they packed and left. Barnett's father was an oil field worker and was optimistic upon learning that there were active oil fields in Huntington Beach. " After the move to Newport Beach, Barnett became nted with the local grammar schoo since it had tennis courts, whieh beCame one of his favorite sports. The oceanfront school then a two tennis courts, but, interestmgly enough, the courts were subsequently abandoned and the area was converted to basketball courts. He enrolled in Harbor.High in 1937 and "dreamed or four years of tennis." His wish was granted. He became a four-year letterman and one or the finest players in South- ern California. He added another high mark as a junior. It was unique for the local area. H~ chose to take a badminton challenge and advanced to the finish, becoming the No. 1 singles player in the CIF Southern Section. He had never thought of basketball until Coach Ralph Reed came around one day and asked a bunch of tall guys if they would like to play on a special basketball team at night. They would be called the "Casabas." Basically, this same unit moved on to score high honors from one level to another in the Sunset League. In his junior year, Barnett paced Newport to the Bee title in 1940 with a remarkable 19-0 record. It marked the first time Harbor had ever won a Bee cage title. As a senior, Barnett, who consistently bit in double figures, helpeq take the Sailors to their first-ever varsity basketball league championship. The 1940-41 Tars finished wtth a 21-2 record. McClellan. A varsity football crown arrived in 1942, but a baseball championstup didn't click unW 1948. There has been no baseball titles won since then. 11lis was 0110 sterling mark for both basketball and football. Other members or the team via football included Bill Ritter, Harold Sherlin, the 1942 All-CIF fullback; Don Contrell SIDELINES Reed eventucilly drew Barnett into track and field and became very pleased with his other talents. Barnett was into sprints, long Jump and lugh JWOp. He often ran 10.3 111 the Manuel Muniz, the second-team All-CIF tack.le and Lorrie Langmade, second-team All-CIF blocking back in 1943. Other team members included Floyd Tait, Donnie Smith, Tak Ezaki, Bill Grundy, B. Haig, R. Barnes and B. Bryant, manager. The only varsity league titles prior to 1942 came 10 track, in 1932 for the Orange League and then 1938, a title in the Sunset League, paced by all-league fullback Rollo 100-yard dash, but was once clocked unofhaally dt 10 2. Reed tned to prod him into hurdling, but Barnett refused "I balked." Barnett said. ·1 hated the hurdles.• Still, he was fond of Reed. ·Reed was one or a lund," Barnett said. "It was amazmg what he did with the program there, indud.J.ng the track decathlon for Hdibor High maJe students I don't know th~t I wb)J.ld have turned out for track Lf it hadn't been for the decath.Jon program. That's how be discovered the talents of many:" B~ett also appreoated football and baseball Coach Dick Spaulding. "Spaulding was aJways on my back to play baseball." Barnett ,.said: "But, l declined smce I loved tennis." Barnett ba(l another gilt: photography. In fact. Barnett was the photographer for the 1940~41 Sailor yearbook as a seruor. H e was amused by one happerung. Two faculty members did not want thelf picture taken. ,. "They preferred thelf graduation pictures,· he explained. He recalled that the late Costa Mesa mayor, A.L Pulkley, produced great times for the 1941 champion cage team at hls drug store on Newport Boulevard.
