The Orange Coun- ty district attorney has charged Steel with two felony counts of per- jury relating to those incidents. Steel's dttomey made a plea Friday to reduce the charges to misde- meanors, argwng that Steel's alleged acbons do not warrant the felony charges. But Judge Edward Laird denied the motion.

PHOTO OF THE WEEK· -'HAPPY 100TH BIRTH/JAY' TNOUll1I flOM M Kiiis I w03 looking forward to photographing the 100th birthday party of Ed Hemphill. All my equipment was ready to go. After meeting him, I walked ahead of him as h e walked to the cafeteria with aid from the staJf. I was looking for a good mom~nt to signify the event. I entered the cafeteria and most of the peo- ple there wondered who the heck I was and why the cameras. Soon they knew. But when I realized my flash wasn't working, I began to focWJ my attention on my equipment failure rather than the moment. I kept shooting anyway, trying to figure out how to get a nice photo without the flash, since two giant windows ruined the shot behind Hemphill's seat. They began to sing "Happy Birthday" as I moved around the scene hoping for something decent. I chose to shoot further C1Way from the scene with a longer Jens because it made a bf!tter picture than up close with a wide angle, The choice paid off when he got up to blow out the candles. He stood, held onto the table, stared into the centei of the cake and began to cry. I click ed a shot when he wiped a tear from his face as I was moving backward through lunch tables. I wasn 't sure I had it. I checked Immediately on the digital camera and saw it was there. It was the moment I prepared for, and I'm glad I didn't miss it. Always be prepared for several great momenta or just one. -Don LAllCh BASKETBlll '°' DRlllLES ON The Estancia High School's girls basketball team was saved from the possibility of a Jost season when Mobil Oil COSTA Co. agreed to donate $4,000 to compensate the team for its potential furld-raising losses.

The property had previously been owned by C.J. Segerstrom & Sons. Mobil, which bought it within the last year, cited safety reasons for not allowing the fireworks. The girls protested in front of the station Monday morn,. ing, but had their protest cul short Tuesday, when the school's principal met with Mobil representatives to discuss the situation. .

YACHT COllW 110TRM1m Owners of a 55-NEWPORT foot boat that has IEACH Balboa Island resi- dents talking docked their yacht alongside a pier in front of their two island homes last week. While residents have argued that parking the boat parallel to the beach would, among other things, block many views, the owners docked it paral- lel to the pier, which is perpendic- ulat to the beach. Newport Beach Councilman Steve Bromberg, who requested temporary docking to see how it affected the. view, said as far as the law goes, it would appear the boat can legally dock there. City officials had previously ruled against allowing owner Lodwrtck M . Cook to park the boat parallel to the beach. Also, the dty'a first Greenlight · vote looks ld be imminent.

POUCI FIUS I Daily Pilot fames McFadden and the founding of a 'new port' Young Chang DAILY PILOT Sometimes it does all boil down to one person. James McFadden was looki~J BACK the name you heard around town in the 1800s, when Newport '1 Beach was merely a wharlside village known predominantly as the home of McFadden's compa- ny, the Newport Wharf and LWl\ber Company. Enormous freight and pas- senger vessels stopped by to load and unload here, and McFadden's dream was to make Newport {it was a "new port") Beach the~st commerdal !iohipping port that Southern California ever saw, according to "Newport Beach: The First Century: 1888-1988 .• This didn't happen because the city instead took a less industrial route to fame. But McFadden's name is what we arrive at when we trace the origins way, way back. "He is part of what built our community here in the area. what with the railroad coming down here and bringing all the lumber and the ships,• said Gay Wassall- Kelly, a long-lime resident of Newport Beach. McFadden was born in 1833 and died in 1918. Con- sidered the founderJ>f New- port Beach, he was a resident of Santa Ana but owned and ran maritime shipping busi- nesses on the bay at New- port Landing and on the oceanfront too. McFadden and his family were also ranchers, and at one point they had trouble keeping wild horses from destroying their crop, Was- sail-Kelly said. They ordered lumber to keep the horses out. and that one train of wood eventually grew into an industry. The story starts with McFadden's purchase of what was then called the Rancho Santa Ana lands. He was a widower from :-1ew York and only 35 ye~ old. He saw Newport Bay f" hav- ing seaport potential. Many settlers became · farmers and by the mid 1870s, the city had a general store, a post ofrice and a school. ln the meantime, the McFaddens -James and his brother Robert -engaged in the lumber business, bring- ing loaded vessels in and out of Newport Harbor. ~~ James McFadden. who lived in Santa Ana, ls considered to be the founder of Newport Beach. They had a special boat made for this task in San Frandsco. The schooner was aptly called the Newport. But increased populations in the 1880s, coupled with the com- pletion of the Santa Fe ~ail­ road and a resurgence in building, made it impossible for the McFadden team and Newport Harbor alone to supply the entire community with lumber. ( The bay was also dariger- ous at parts. Ground swells. shallow waters and other landscape-hazards had caused the death of many sailors. James Mcfadden was always trying to solicit feder- al help for harbor improve- ments. ln the late 1880's, in the middle <>f yet another attempt by McFadden to get government aid, an employee named Tom Rule drowned in the bay while working. According to "Newport Beach: The First Century,· the brothers had mourned when yet another set of sea- mari had drowned in the violent bay. One theory is that Rule's death was what made the brothers give up their ·business at Newport Landing. They eventually moved it from the bay to the ocean- front. b~an to build a wharf arid even a railway to S.anta Alla. By August of 1888, the project was completed and the city's prosperous streak as a shipping port began. "They had the foresight and opened the Newport Beach area to-the world, and look what we've got.· Was- sail-Kelly said. • Do you know of a person. plaee or event that deserves a historical LOOK BACIC?

Cook first hinted that he wanted to move his exist- ing pier 40 feet to the east so he could dock his 55-foot yacht there, his fellow Balboa Island residents grew outraged, firing 1 off more than 50 letters to the Daily Pilot. Only two letters supported Cook's desire, and one drew a couple more attacks as a result. The two writers suggested that a property owner has rights and should be able to do as he or she pleases. It would appear, however, that the masses do not support Cook's request to park his boat in front of his two South Bay " Front residences. For one, ~boa Island resi- dents point out that Cook does- n't live in either of the homes, instead making his residence in Sherman Oaks. What drew the residents' largest criticism, though, was the proposed con- figurations of Cook's OOa.t: paral- lel to the beach. Newport Beach city officials denied Cook's re<niest to move . the pier. At the time, Council- man Steve Bromberg, who lives on Little Balboa Island, said the city made the right decision, b1,1t then made his own request - that the bocit pe docked tem- porarily to allow everyone a peek at how it affects the view. When Cook's family brought the yacht in for that brief dock- ing last week, though, it parked perpendicular to the beach. Bromberg said, "Right now, as the policy is written, that boat can st.ay there." A few residents disagreed, continuing to point out that the yacht is large. But the city never set a maximum size for boats Instead, we would urge the Cooks to be good neighbors -especially because they said thls week that they plan to occupy one of the residences -and yield to their neighbors' wishes, even if it means parking the yacht elsewhere. that are docked along piers.

Still. if there are no rules against parking such a yacht along the pier perpendicular to the beach, the city must allow it unless the law is otherwise amended. Instead, we would urge the Cooks to be good neighbors - especially because they said this week that they plan to occupy one of the residences -and yield to their neighbors' wishes, even if it means parking the yacht elsewhere.

The Newport Dunes fireworks on the Fourth of July draw thousands and thousands of people for a 20-odd minut~ spectacular to celebrate the nation's birthday. But th~'s more to it than just a half-hour of bright lights and loud bangs, as Dunes General Manager Andrew Theodorou can attest. There's even more than the limbo dances, the volleyball tournament and the carnival. Weeks of intense preparatiQn lead up to the big night. And dur- ing the show itself, Dunes workers don't get much time to enjoy what's going oh overhead. But everyone else does. And that's the point. . Taking time out tlom these busy days, Theodorou -who has been in the hotel business for almost 30 years, about 2 1/2 with the Dunes -sat down with Pilot Senior City Editor S.J.

Well I have a _bridge I can sell you ·Jo Gerlach SOUNDING BOARD _ I 'd like to offer a few thoughts tegarding the 19th Street bridge. First ot an. let's stop thl.9'non.sense about beach access. We on the Westside have plenty of beach access. We can get to the beach faster than a good deal of East.side Costa Mesa, parts of Newport Beach, and much faster than the Mesa Verde neighborhood where Bob Graham lives. I'm personally against any bridges being built in Costa Mesa as l feel we've dcme more than our share of being a thoroughfare for other cities. But if Graham tS so concerned about beach access, perhaps he should be rallying his Mesa Verde neighbors to get the Gisler bridge built. Just think how convenient it would be for them to get to Brookhurst and shoot down to Hunting- ton State Beach -·our beach." Secondly. let's be honest. Several of the bridge propo- nents don't even live on the West.side. It is my opiruon that these people -like the Wallace group -want the bridge for the pnmary rea- son of being able to bwld more units on their rental properties. ln fact, one of these people publidy admit- ted as much when he said that he couldn't build any more wilts if the bridge were eliminated from the master plan. It is also my opiruon that these people want to profit regardless of the expense to us Westsiders, who actually live here. There's nothing wrong with wanting to make more money and improve one's property. but please don't bombard us with propaganda about beach access and malang our properties worth more. Anyone with a br~ knows that the additional traffic, noise and pollution can only significantly dimin- ish our quality of life and decrease our property values. And to say that the exist- ing businesses will prosper because of the bridge is also nonsense. The commuters using the bridge aren't interested in shopping on 19th Street. They will be blowing through Costa Mesa to the beach and at the end of the day, back again to the freeway, not picking up a quart of milk at the new market. And lastly, as far as New- port Beach being the hold- out in eliminating the bridge: How about IODle mutual back saatchingl . Costa Mesa could whole- heartedly commit to the ~ po}t of a regional airport at El Toro, a.nd NeWport 8eacb could sign otf on tbe bridge. It would be a wtn-wtn lltua- tion for Cost.a Mesa.
