COSTA MESA -Selecting a
box, the Newport resident slipped
out a $20, stuck her band furtively
through the stand's grid and
grabbed her fireworks.
Once the darling of any Norman
Rockwell painting, fireworks have
become a source of guilt for many
people living in are~ such as
Newport Beach, where the
sparklers and glittering fountains
are outlawed. Following an annual
rash of fires and burns, some cities .
have limited July 4 flames to the
barbecue or professional displays.
However, many adults are cav-
ing in to ~e desire to re-create that
bit of their past for their children,
But even there the guilt resur-
faces, with sellers insisting that
their firecrackers are safe.

It's not the temperature that
necessarily bothers you so much
as you attempt to enter the water
at Balboa Island. At this time of

to be fairly pleasant, even at 6:30

But the mud? The mud will get
you.

toes as you step down to the
water's edge, goggles in band.
Feel it squelch and slide, raising
goose bumps on your bare legs,

cruise up to the vicinity of the

To the uninitiated, the open-

to see both residents and
beachgoers quietly enjoying
the warm temperatures on
Sunday.
"We've bad no calls for
assistance,• said Sgt. Donna

"Though there was one call -
but that turned out to be OK
and not a big thing.•
'IWo days into the holiday
weekend, the only unusual
occurrence was the water tem-
perature. Usually cooler this
time of year,. temperatures
crept up to mid-to late-August
heat at 70 degrees.
"This is very warm water

guard Capt. Jim Turner said.
Turner said he was not sure
"There have been some off-
shore but not many reports of
jellyfish,• Turner said.
There were still the rip cur-
rents that have claimed a
number of lives lately. Rip cur-
rents, like small rivers that
float under the surface, are
caused by channels formed in
the sandy bottom of the beach-
es.
µteguards made several
rescues but said this wa~
expected with the increased
traffic during the holiday
weekend.
Last month, five beachgo-
ers were pulled out to sea and
another San Bemadino man
drowned because of the rip
currents. Inexperienced swim-
mers often try to fight against
a powerful current instead -of
swimming parallel to shore to
escape it.'

The MetroJ?olltan Water

reservoir, eventually decided
to put a lloati.ng cover on the
55-acre drinking supply. But
though water officials called
this the perfect solution, resi-

groups protesting the gray

Estancia High and Orange Coast
College standout, referring to

An all-state selection and the
team's MVP in '79, Orgill
averaged 16.1 ppg in the
championship season. Js>ining
AJPn in the back Court and
teaming with Pete Ne'ft:'"•" Brian McCormick and teve
1lmmons -later a .two-time
Olympic gold medalist in
volleyball -in the starting
lineup.
"It was the team effort I }ust
loved,· Orgill said. "With (Akin)
takilig up the point guard ·
responsiblllty and brlngtng the
ball up lDOlt Of the
time, it freed me up
and allowed me to
have more energy. I
~d more time to get to
the open court. Too ·
bad I wasn't 6;3 or
6-4.·
Yardley and Orgill, Ra n.-111 wouldn't work •atter a y "'•!JU&
In addition to the
thrtll of state and South
Coast Conference titles
(and a 27-5 record in a
Cinderella season),
Orgill said his
experience at OCC couple hundred times.•
So they took the first letter of the
last names and came up with Yo
Fire Supplies.
•Everyone remembers •yo•
and so far it's been a great
name." Orgill said. •(The
Yardleys) gave me the (business)
opportunity. I did nothing ...
they're the greatest people in
the world.•
There are people who say
similar things about Orgill,
including his former OCC
basketball coach, Tandy Gillis.
•Ray could really play,• Gillis
said, "and he was one of the
nicest kids I'd ever been around.
"He just couldn't believe me
sometimes, because 1 used to go
off. But be didn't even bat an
eye.•
A first-team All-CIP Southern
Section choice for Estancia and
the Daily _Pil9t's Or~ge Coast
area Player of the Year in 1917,
Orgill went on to become the
darling of OCC's most famous
basketball team, and, later, a star
at SL Mary's College under
Coach Bill Oates, the reason
. Orgill selected the school.
The one year Orgill didn't
play point guard, Orange
Coast won the 1979 state
championship in his sophomore
year, as Paul Akin handled the
point and Orgill moved to the
two spot.
•Basically, we bad two point
guards," Gillis said. •Ray could
shoot and Paul was a better
defender. They were lt<>th
winners. After all those yean
(of coaching), I finally figured 1i
out: When you've got two guys
to handle the ball, it makes u a
helluva lot easier to coach.•
Orgill, once named to the
fl.nt team on OCC'1 all-time
bubtball tqUad with John
Vallely, PhD Jordan, Chit.
Beuley, Denny Pitzpcltrick and
Bruce Chapman, averaged 14

That memorable year, the
Pirates defeated Saddleback,
75-67, in overtime in the state
championship game at Cal State
Fullerton. •There will never,
never be (SllOther group like
them,• Gillis said after the net
was cut down.
Prior to his OCC glory, Orgill
started at point guard for three
years at Est.and.a, earning
second-team All-Century League
honors as a sophomore, but he
injured his back the next year
and wa1 forced to sit out the
entire seuon.

victory in the first round of the District
55 All-Star playoffs at Chaparrosa Park.
But the handouts weren't the only
reason why NBLL won. It got clutch
hits and forced Mission Viejo to play
from ~d for most of the game.
•These kids played a heck of a
game,• NBll manager Van Holland
said. •1•m real proud of how they
played." .
His IOll, Kevin Holland. delivered a
big hit in the top ol the third inn1ng. A
sharp two-run double wblch drove in
Thomas Dialynas, who reached on a
sing)e, and Carlo. Valdes, who was
· walked. That double gave NBll. a 5-4

lead to 8-6. .
Before Misslon Viejo's two runs,

On the same play, Mission Viejo's
second basetrum couldn't field the ball
and that allowed Nielson to score. The
inning ended when Mission Viejo cut
down a Newport runner at third, but
the runs counted.
Those two runs proved to be the dif-

at-bat to preserve his team's victory. He
only gave up two· runs in three innings,
