Mathis Winkler DAILY PILOT NEWPORT BEACH Koll Center officials will have to brace for more opposition to their 250,000-squa.re-foot expansion project after Greenlight leaders announced Friday they will campaign against the devel- opment. The project, which indudes a 10-story office tow- er and two parking struc- tures, is expected to go before voters in the fall since it big- gers a Greenligbt election. The city's new slow- growth law, approved oy vot- ers last November, requires elections for pro1ects that add more than 40,000 square feet or 100 peak-hour car trips or dwelling units to what's allowed under the general plan. City Council members already approved the expan- sion at their June 26 meeting and will vote on a zoning amendment and develop- ment agreement for a second time July 10. Phil Arst, Green.light's spokesman, said the project would create significant traf- fic problems and city leaders failed to address the problem.

Deserting her childhood digs Mathis Winkler DAILY PILOT A s an Arizona desert child, sailing was a little out of the ordinary for Catherine Malm. •I did all those sort of traditional mountain desert things,• Malm said. But her grandfather sailed and got her boolced ep.rly on. • She began lake ~g, entered her litSt race at ll.a.nd began following her ~sion as a student at Pomona College. .. After meeting her husband, Jaime, during a regatta in Mission Bay, Malm 98ffi0 to Newport Beach and ran the lunior program !it Balboa Yacht Club. She then switched to an Internet company, where she did "boating and sailing stuff." When the business went bankrupt, the Boy Scouts Sea Base didn't take long to recruit her as its program director. She's been working there since last Sep- tember. "Because I have such a passion for (sailing). I want to share it,• she said, adding that she's responsible to develop Though raised in Arizona, it was the ocean that called out to the Sea Base's program director programs that open the base up to out- side groups. "Many people think it's stUl only boy scouts, while it's open to all:boys and girls,• she said, adding thaf about two- thirds of the base's 28,000 annual users are kids. An ambitious expansion project, which already received city approval and will now go before the California Coastal Commission, will hopefully allow the base to serve up to 60,000 peo- ple per year witbjn a decade, Malm said. "The Sea Base is really in transition from a Boy Scout day camJP to becoming an aquatics institute parallel to what Orange Coast College does -but with youth,• she said.

In a gesture of good faith, the state had given the Crystal Cove cottage dwellen 10 years to pack up. And on June 30, 1993, they were due to leave the premises. It turned out the state was the only o.ne wtth good faith and the resi- dents defiantly never even packed a bag. T~ Dodero FROM THE NEWSROOM •we want.to open up the area and let all ol California enjoy the beauty that these few pri\lileged people bave enjoyed over the last 10 yeon, • a S~te Parks spokeswoman told me In that 1993 story. Yet for eight years, the bungalow aowd took legal action to win reprieve after reprieve to keep taxpayers out of their own land. Even now, their specious arguments continue. So, provided that tbe last of the cove dwellers bu moved on, and I'll believe that when I see it. it's time to start the debate over just how we tupayen, thoee of us who own the land but haven't been prtvileged to live in a Crystal Cove bungalow, can now vacation there at a reasonable price. It seems to me there are two options for that. Either preserve the cottages as rustic cabins that can go for a.s little as $100 a night. or tear down the cottages, save for one or two for historic value, and turn the beach into a campground for those who want to pitch tents. beach campsites, San Elljo or Carls- bad or San Onofre 1n San Diego County, the prices can be as rea- sonable as $25 a night for a coastal view from your tent.

I don't blame these folks for wanting to stay at Qystal Cove. Anyone who has ever visited there knows of its beauty, serenity and 1114giC. If 1 could live there on the beach for the rest of my days, I'd sign up in a minute. But that's exactly the point The state's land belongs to all of us.

Several historic sites, much more significant than Crystal Cove by the way, are maintained today Considering the closest thing Newport Beach hes to a camp- ground is the Newport Dunes, it would be nice to add another beach campground to the state's long list right here in our backyard. Whatever happens to Crystal Cove, make sure that you, the tax- payers and rightful owners of this land, give your input to State Parks officials.

I want to make certain that people are proven guilty before a Jetter is sent• The pevtous ~ did not state that tenants would have to be oonv1cted before the landklrd would be required to evict ~ and Robinson said she was concerned that the proposal would have required landlords to evict tenants even if they were only suspected of being aiminak. "How could we hold land- lords to making that determi- nation and how could they ever defend themselves U a tenant challenged them in court?• she said. The new proposal adds requirements that an arrest occur before landlords are required to evict a tenant, that the Qty Attorney's office review the matter before a violation notice is sent to a landlord and that a landlord is granted 30 days to evict a ten- ant or file an appeal to the city, in.stead of the 15 days previously proposed. If passed, the ordinance will be a pilot program that only lasts for two years unless it is readopted by the council in 2003. Doug Scribner, a Costa Mesa resident and the vice chairoftheUbertarianParty of Orange County, said he is against the ordinance because it would violate land- lords' rights and allow them to be punished for their ten- ants' crimes.

Richard Dunn DAILY PILoT Tie strength of the 1111 Newport Harbor High athletic · programs, beginning with football and track and field, can be traced directly to former coach Tony Ci.arell1. . A foremost guru of Olympic weight training and conditioning, Ciarelli developed some ol the best discus throwers and shot-putters in the state, while helping to start a trickle down affect on campus that included serious weight training by myriad different Sailor athletes. AB the throws and conditioning coach, C:iarelll consistently inspired Newport Harbor athletes to individual league, CIP Southern Section and Masters Meet titles, while making annual appearances at the CIP State Meet. In football, under bead coach Jeff Brinkley, C:iarelll was I an assist.ant coach for eight years, the last the most influential people in bis life. •They're at everything I do, as an athlete and coach. They don't miss anything, and even with the grandkids. I don't know how they make it all.• In 1993, CiarelU was voted the California Coaches' Alliance Honor Coach Award, the equivalent on CIP Southern Section Coach of the Year in track and field. Under Ciarelli's watch at Newport Harbor, no fewer than four athletes became national age-group weightlifting champions (Steve Gonzales, Bill Johns, Cara Heads and Gina Heads), while several advanced to the state meet in track and field, including Wade ntt, Beau Ralphs and lbny Mancuso. At Edison, where he coached before Newport Harbor, C:iarelll directed 1988 boys state shot put champion Kaleaph Carter, probably the best athlete Ciarelll bas ever.een. When Ciarelll arrived at Huntington Be4ch four yean ago, Scott Moser improved -bis discus throw from : three as defensive coordinator as the Sailors twice played in a CIP championship game, including winning their first title Tony Ctanill1 in '94, while competing 185 feet to a state-record 213-11, a mark that still standl. AB a coach, Ciarelll's top highlight is Newport Harbor's CIP football championship victory over Servite in 1994, and, as an athlete, it's reaching the state meet in the lhot put b1s senior year at Huntington Beach, while setting a school record at 59-1, in Division V. The football team's year-round weightlifting program was unmatched under bis guidance. •It could not have been a better situation at Newport Harbor,• said Ciarelll, who acceJ!:1 the head football coa g position at his alma mater, Huntington Beach, on Jan. 23, 1997. ·1 didn't want to leave there.
