Dreaming
Of summer .
--fan, sun.
I t's kind of hard to do right
now with the chill of win-
ter still hanging in the air
and the water, but try to pic-
tur~ summertime in Newport.
· The beaches are filled
with people. Warm south
swells are pumping in from
Baja and the Wedge is push -
ing 20 feet.
While most wouldn't even
dare to get dose to the
water's edge on those days,
much less take a dip/there's
one thing for certain: A
dose-knit. sometimes myste-
rious, band of watermen will
appear and make this .treach-
erous domain their play-
ground.
These are the same guys
you see pictured in newspa-
pers and magazines hurtling
along the face of a monster
mountain of water, braving
We and limb, literally, for the
thrill of riding one of the
scariest waves known to
man.
Kevin ·Mel• Thoman is
one of those guys. And so is
Roo Romanowsky, Bill Sharp,
Toui Kennedy, Pred Simpson,
Terry Wade, Al Lehman and
Danny Kwok, to name a few.
I bet a lot of you are say-
ing •who?•
That's why Thoman bas
this great idea. And I think
it's a pretty good one, too.

weeks before its opening, the New-
port Beach Film Festival will request
another $.10,000 from the City Coun-
cil to help with festival costs.
·we expect to get it," said festi-

adding that organizers will keep
their fingers crossed at Tuesday's
meeting. "(The council hasl been
very supportive. The city has
played a key role.·

• EDm>lt'S ~ This Is the fourth In.a
five.part series about OCC's Alaska Eagle's
voyage from Tasmania to New Zealand.
By Brad Avery
W e've spent the past few
days exploring Preserva-
tion lnlet, and Dusky,
Doubtful and Milford Sounds. A
high-pressure system over New
Zealand has created beautiful
wann wealher, making the verdant
fiords and islands a cruiser's par-
adise. Fiordland, at the southwest
tip of New Adventures Zealand, spans
AT ~r JI 100 miles along
~f;#I the coast, featur-
ing a dozen
steep-waUed inlets reaching up to
30 miles inJand.
This huge, empty and spectacu-
lar area was settled by native
Maoris. Captain Cook explored
and charted two of the fiords in the
late 1700s. Whaling and prospect-
ing foUowed. With waterfalls and
mcredible views of distant peaks
and ranges, Fiordland looks similar
to Maine or Canada's West Coast.
Except for Milford, no roads
reach here. It remains remote, the
province of a bundant wildlife, per-
haps a hundred commercial fisher-
men and the area's most ubiquitous
and annoying resident, the sandfly.
The sandllies did a better job
driving us off the beach here than
the sea lions did at Auckland
Island. And they didn't stop at the
beach, either.
They swarmed aboard and into
our cabins. The sea lions never did
this, although we wouldn't have
put it past them.
Fiord.land sandflies, unlike mos-
quitoes, seek your blood during the
day. Vutually no anchorage is safe;
if the sun is up (as it is now between
4 a.m. and 10 p.m.) the sandflies are
out in force. After a few days of bat-
tling sandflies, we started to look
forward to being underway and
dreaded dropping anchor in some
beautilul cove.
One sand.fly encounter came
during our attempted '" historical
reenactment of Cook's landing at
Pickersgill Harbour in Dusky
Sound. Upon arriving through a.
narrow, rocky passage Cook had
used, we were disappointed to see
two small cruising sailboats already
anchored m the famous spot where
Cook spent several months in 1773
aboard the Resolution brewing
spruce beer and waiting to record
the transit of Venus.
We didn't see anyone aboard the
boats. We le t our anchor go and
backed mto the wooded cove, com-
• Ing within feet of where Resolu-
tion's stem lines went around trees.

Rain, rain go away, come again
another day. The water ls sup-
posed to be under the boat,
isn't it?
With all this rain, many boat
owners have experienced tno!e
water inside the hull, than under-
neath it Several boats have
foundered in our harbor because of
the recent weather. Most of these
sin.kings, or partial sin.kings, is a
result of the lack of maintenance on
the part or the boat owner.
1\vo crawfisb are prepared for dinner in the galley of the Alaska Eagle.
"There are some (boat) owners
that turn off their automatic bilge
pump switches because they're
aware of the environmental and
governmental consequences,· said
Jesse Selem, manager of the New-
port Harbor Shipyard.
Although it would take an awful
lot of rain to sink a 30-foot boat. the
rainwater can find its way into the
bilge and trigger the bilge pumps.
Fines can be assessed up to $10,000
for boat owners caught pumping an
oily discharge into the harbor. Be
aware, the fine may be imposed
whether the discharge was inten-
tional or by accident.
stern line seciired, a gentleman
came up from below on one of the
cruising boats. He greeted us, gin
and tonic in hand.
"Hello!" he called out in a
friendly kiwi accent, "Sorry we're
not more sociable -we're all
below, hiding from the Sandfliesl"
Soon the whole crew looked like
they were break dancing -arms
Dying, hands slapping necks, legs
rubbing legs. We quickly forgot
about reveling in nautical history
and got underway while our neigh-
bor hastily returned to his cabin, via
a shroud or mosquito netting.
We motored to nearby Cascade
Cove and came alongside two fish-
ing boats tied to an old steel oyster
boat now used as a helicopter pad.
Aside from blue cod and tuna,
Fiordland fishermen trap crayfish
{lobster) during the season.
Helicopters are used to get the
crayfish to market alive. Soon a
chopper came swooping in, just
clearing boats and trees, and
landed on a tiny patch of plywood
on the rusting oyster boat's stem.
The helicopter remained in a
high-pitched idle while hundreds
of pounds of crayfish were
unloaded from the boats. The hell·
copter's rotors kept the sand.flies

The sun is about to book a flight

that means it's time to make reser-
vations for your boats annual safety
inspection and haul out
"There's more reasons to haul a
boat than just slap on some bottom
paint.· said Selem.
Hauling out your boat could save
your life. The Newport Harbor Ship-
yard suggests that now is the time to
educate boat owners about issues
and concerns regarding the side of
the bOat they rarely get a chance to
see, the bottom.
Through-hull fittings must be
opened and dosed, lope-to-lock, at ·
least every month. When a leak or
hose breaks you're supposed to
reach down and simply shut-off the
value.
However, after a winter season of
crud and corrosion, half the time the
value is frozen in the open position,
hence, why God gave us thumbs.
The three most common reasons
why boats sink are through-hull fit-
tings, exhaust and shaft-log leaks.
A JO..foot boat haul out at New-
port Harbor Shipyard will run $6.50
per foot plus labor estimated at $8.50
per foot and around $350 for materi-
als. 1lUs would include one coat of
copperas oxide paint (60% copper)
on the bottom and two coats at the
waterline. In addition, they conduct
a thorough inspection of your fit-
tings, shafts, propellers, exhaust sys-..
tern and through-hull hoses. Make
an effort to acquaint yourself where
your through-hull values are located,
how many and what they're con-
nected to. Check your bilge every
time you set foot on your boat

• Newport Coast spokesman
claims that the city told residents
they would get $25 million.
No.kl Schwartz
• DAILY PILOT . .
NEWPORT COAST -Six weeks after
Newport Coast residents threatened to oppose
annexation unless the d ty handed over the
millions jt ·would get from the Irvine Ranch
Water District -the matter appears to be
stagnating.
In what was sup~ to be the definitive
meeting, city officials spoke with Newport
Coast resident representatives on Friday, but
have yet to resolve thls point of contention.
Newport Coast spokesman and resident
Jim McGee claimed that the city told residents
they wowd get all of the $25 million to help
pay for the community's bond and to repair its
ailing infrastructure. However, city stalf said
they don't recall making such a blanke t
promise. •
McGee could not be reached for comment.
Still, Mayor John Noyes who attended the
meeting said that they are •one step
closer• and he is optimistic the matter will be
resolved by April. _,,,
·we're still working out some of the
delails."he said, refusing to elaborate on the
sensitive issue. "We're still negotiating, but
haven't finalized anything yel"
While the money issue was broached,
Noyes said that this meeting focused more on
the common grpund of creating a coq:unuruty
center for Newport Coast res1denU;. 1n addi-
tion to a center, residents want the city to he)p
them build a library substation, Noyes said.
Pending the city's largest annexation effort
Newport would get a total of $25 million over
a 6-year period if the district is allowed to con-
tinue to provide water to the community. City
officials thought this would appeal to Newport
Coast residents because the district's water
rates are three tunes less than the city's fees.
While, Noyes is hopeful that ·negobations
will 6e finalized within the next few weeks,
there is a history of touchy negotiations Wlth
the community. Two years ago, negotiabons
fell apart because of a lack of communication.
The annexation process with Newport
Coast resurfaced again last fall and this ti.me
included Santa Ana Heigh ts and Bay Knolls
The city filed a formal appllcation with the
Local Agency Formation Commission, the
slate-created body that governs incorpora-
tions and arinexations. ·
Once negotiations are finalized, the oty
will file a completed application to the com-
mission. and hopes to1have a hea~g set by

TIDE POOLS
CONTINUED FROM 1
An ongoing study by the
Orange Coast College marine
science department has dis-
covered that the location
houses drastically less
species than exist at hidden,
less-traveled beaches.
In a plot twist not even
Edgar Allan Poe could have
dreamed up, the more people
love the tide pools at Little
Corona, the more the sea life
suffers.
A DOWNHILL SLIDE
Between 20 and 30 years
ago. the Little Corona tide
pools were teeming with life.
Algae covered the rocks,
crabs scuttled about and little
fish swam undisturbed.
Daily Pilot1s columnist, Judge
Robert Gardner, who wrote a
book on the Wedge. In tact. it
was that book. which drew
Thoman, who grew up in Cul-
ver City, -to town originally.
"The Wedge got me down
here. and blmcally, here I still
am,• he said.
But Thoman said many
people don't even know how
to find the Wedge and when
they do, they don't know
Bay, a private beach, live in
almost pristine conditions.
Even without human
interference, tide pools are a
rough environment. Waves,
strong enough to knock a
person down, crash the small
creatures against the rocks.
The rain is sometimes so
strong that it washes some of
them away. On wann days,
the sun can be deadly, and
dry up the marine animals.
But, while they are
equipped to deal with nature,
they are defenseless against
humans, Kelly said.
During -the past couple of
decades, Kelly said, more
people have been plucking
shells and sea stars out of the
water. A ton of feet have
trampled the sea life.

mucb about it. So his propoea1
would be to place the Wedge
Wallt of Fame at the W8'l Jet-
ty Parlt, wbicb is only l1epl
away from the famous spot.
· And Thoman would
include more than just the
body surfing aowd on the
walk. He'd include Sharp and
Romanowsky, who are knee-
·boarders, and Kwok. one of
the few surfers who dared to
ride the Wedge, as well as
Gardner, and surf guitarist
and former Balboa Peninsula
resident Dick Dele, wbo wrote
a song called "Tbe Wedge.•

It was he, Kennedy and a
few other body surfers, who,
about 7 years ago, coaxed
the Newport council to initi-

the Wedge 10 a.!11. to 5 p.m.
starting May 1 and ending
Oct. 31.

WU the beliaf that the influx
of foam bodyboard dders was
threatening the very survival
of the sport ol bo4ysurfing.
'The board ban, which ran
into opposllion by board riders
like Sharp and Romanowsky,
bas been successful IO far,
Thoman said So maybe this
dream will be too.
Dennis Kelly, an OCC
marine science professor,
said the damage began with
a surge of interest in th_e
ocean.
"The tide pools really
began a dramatic downhill
slide about 20 years ago,• be
said. "Between 1975 and the
80s, so many people became
interested in the ocean, and
Corona del Mar is one of eas-
iest [tide p ools I to get to.•
School tours are so popu-
lar that the city, which oper-
ates the beach, is flooded
with requests for tide pool
field trips from educators
throughout Southern Califor-
nia. The scheduled tours,
most popular during spring
and summer months, begin
this week.

It's accessibility and popu-
larity has remained for
decades. The result, Kelly
said, is fewer types of ani-
mals and plants in the tide
pools and smaller amounts of
the existing marine life.
For example, the tide
pools• at Crystal Cove are a
little bit harder to get to, and
therefore the contents are a
great deal healthier. And the

THE PUBLIC PROBLEM
Newport Beach city officials
astutely assessed a couple of
years ago that the tide pools
were in trouble. City officials
began to explore options for
repairing the areas.
Ideas were tossed about and
funds were pursued. There was
a suggestion to create an inter-
pretive center at Big Corona -
the area just north of the tide
pools -and keep people away
from Llttle Corona.
However, it would be diffi-
cult -perhaps even wrong -
to limit access to the public
beach, owned by the stale, and

Beach marine department
director.
The signs will tell visitors
about the sea life and list "good

The minimum fine for tak-
ing anything out of the marine
preserve is $500.
Many visitors respect the
ocean life and follow the rules.

with a sigh.
But 19-year-old Christopher
Saldana, who brought her to
see the ocean, said the current
state of 1he tide pools is a far cry
from what he remembers from
his childhood visits. SaJClana,
who is from Milwaukee, Wis.,
but bas family in this area, was
disappointed to not see sea stars
or hennit crabs in the waters.
-It used to be better when I
was a kid,• he said. -There are
still sea urchins now, but I used
to see sea stars and other stuff."
The two only looked into the
tide pools, trying not to step on
anything. But not all tourists
are as careful The tide pools
are so inviting that some peo-
ple don't seem to be able to
resist the temptation to poke
sea urchins, tum over rocks or
collect sheHs.
A few violators intentionally
take things from tide pools, but
the vast majority of people who
are slowly killing the marine
life do so unwittingly.
lt is a cycle. Sea grass and
other plants, food for many of
the tide pool animals, are fust
destroyed. Then the creatures
who feed on the plants start to
die off. Eventually, some say,
only the heartiest of sea snails
-some can almost withstand a
blow from a hammer -may
remain.

TIPS ON BEING
A GOOD TIDEPOOLER:
•Never remove animals.
shells or roe.ks from the
tide pools.
• Never pick up animals.
Observe them where they
are.
• Walk gently, taking care
not to step on plants or
animals.
• Never tum over rocks.

called intertidal ecology -
started surveying ti<Je pools

students thought they would
study the rich and healthy envi-
ronment found in local tide
pools, but were shocked to find
that Corona del ]vlar's marine
preserve wasn't as well pre-
served as other areas. The stu-·
dents dug up a 10-year-old
·study that detailed the animal
and plant life in Little Corona
and were devastated to discov·
er that what was once a thriv-
ing environment had seriously
declined.

the students in that class.

the tide pools and to perhaps
find a solution to stop the
degradation. They have been
conducting swveys at different

While out at the beaches,

their time to def end the tide
pools.
"I hide baby sea stan under
rocks because I don't want
someone to take them.• Ben·
nett said
She also confronts collectors,
even chasing them on the sand
to prevent the shells and other
sea life from being removed.
Unda Shafer, the piesldenl d
the group, said the memben
try to educate the public, but
some people don't understand
that taking mtmels or stomp-
ing on rockweed can damage
the tide pools.
Kelly said that some people
even try to argue back. saying
that the tide pools are just fine
the way they are. Kelly said
that although they are not
fine, the tide pools may just
stay in a unhealthy state: •it
just may have to be our saai-

A look back at the

1992 Newport
Harbor High graduate Maureen
McLaren is best done through
kaleidoscope eyes.
But the eclectic tastes of this
former three-sport prep standout,
'Yho went on to win six NCAA
team championships in two
sports at Stanford. are hardly
limited to sports.
It would surprise many that
the 26-year-old San Francisco
resident now teaches high school
history, a subject she abhored
her early years at Harbor.
Those familiar with this tall
and talented former Tar,
however, would be less aghast to
learn Mclaren speaks longingly
of becoming a
firefighter, or,
perhaps, chasing
some Staruord chwns

what she termed a •difficult
saga.•
She started at middle blocker
and outside hitter as a
sophomore, but wear and tear
from nearly a decade of
year-round
competition took a
toll on her knees and
forced her to the
sideline.
"My knees

Maureen McLaren something T should
keep my options open.•
Routine has never been a
concept associated with the
6-foot McLaren, who doesn't so
much rebel against the status
quo, as embrace the serendipity
of life. ·
She said she hated basketball
in junior high, but went on to
become a three-time all-league
center and.Orange County
All-Star Game MVP in the sport.
She resisted the regimen of
club volleyball. even•quitting one
season, only to relent when the
doors to Stanford would open
only if she showcased her skills
her senior club campaign.
She held no such ambivalence
toward swimming, where her
talent was, perhaps. most
transcendant. The sport, which
she said saved her collegiate
athletic career. remains the
"soullul" staple of her fitness
routine, and will be for life.
It was volleyball, however,
for which she is most associated.
A middle blocker, she earned
All-Sea View honors four times
and was the league's Co-MVP
as a senior. She was All-CIF
Southern Section in Division 5-A
u a junior and a senior and was
the MVP of the Orange County
All-Star match.

but she never again cracked the
lineup.
She swam an All-American
time (56.21) to finish second in
the 100-yard backstroke at the
CIF 3-A finals her senior year at
Newport, and was encouraged to
continue at Stanford.
· She did not qualify for the
NCAA championships her
freshman year, but did so the
next three, helping the Cardinal
. win four straight national titles.
She as 11th in the 100-meter

the consolation final in the 100

As a senior. she finished
second in the 100 and seventh in
the 200 backstroke at the NCAA
meet.
"Without swimming, my
