Amy R. Spwgeon DAllY PILOT ORANGE COAST COLLEGE - Julia Sutton knew she wanted to give back to the school that gave her a sec- ond chance at life. So the 41-year-old Costa Mesa res- ident and OCC student didn't pass up the chance to contribute to the biggest project on campus. Sutton. a digital arts major, donated $1,000 to the $2- million Arts Pavilion, which broke ground last month. · , School officials said they are thrilled with Sutton's gift. It is simply a token of the gratitude she feels toward OCC, Sutton said. •This school has been a big turning point in my life,• she said. "It's given me the confidence to walk into places . and say, •rm a graphic designer, give me a job.• ' Sutton hasn't had aq easy life.

Public yet to here official plans for Crystal Cove· • State park officials were supposed to have meetings by at least July; none on horizon. Alex Coolman DAILY PILOT . Pub).ic meetings that were supposed to have been held this summer in connection with a proposed hotel devel- opment at Crystal Cove have never taken place, leaving some local environmentalists : puzzled• over what behind- the-scenes maneuvering is causing the delay. In May, the San Francisco d eveloper Crystal Cove Preservation Partners submit- ted to the California Depart- ment of Parks and Recreation its final plans for building an upscale hotel and restaurant on the beach at Crystal Cove State Park. At that time, the Depart- ment of Parks and Recreation had given a variety of ti.me . tables for public comment : sessions on the plans, sug-· gesting that meetings could · be held some time between July and early September. But the meetings have never taken place and have still not been scheduled. The proposed $20·million project, which would see many of Crystal Cove's ramshackle cottages converted into high-" ena'-hotel units, remains a . vague, undetailed vision in · the public eye. Roy Steams, deputy direc- tor for communications for the . parks department. said the · department is in the process of trying to pla.a the meetings. ·we're trying to figure out the timing for that, and I don't think we have yet.• Stearns said, estimating that •an October-November time frame• was possible. •Maybe December: Steams said •Before the end ot the year, that's for sure.• .

It's normal when someone catches a cold but it seems highly unusual for an entire group to suf. fer the same two problems in uni-son. However, at last Tuesday's Qty Council meeting it was evi-• dent that our entrusted leaders, elected to support what is in the best interest of our community, are suffering from a severe case of hearing loss and forgetfulness. TAYA KAStlJBA I OAl.Y Pl.OT David Martinez, jlD employee at The Leading Edge shipyard In Newport Beach, checks the bottom of a boat after it had been serviced. After numerous testimonials from residents defending the preservation of the current Amen- can Legion Post 291 location, the horrible attlictions swfaced. Getting in ship shape The council VQted to move for- ward with the possibility of build- ing an Italian-villa type hotel and spa on the site the legion,naires have occupied for 60 years. Did they not bear the testimonials on Tuesday and did they forget that in 1997 they voted to enter into long- term lease negotiations with the American Legion? Keeping algae, barnacles off the bottom of boats can be a rough undertaking. Alex Coolman DAILY PltOT .. T he workers at Leading Edge are taking a wire-wheel brush to the prop of a 40-foot Thojan power boat, dabbing ever so gentJy at the nether regions of the massive aquatic beast.

They make boats look pretty and then they send them back out to get messed up again. On the lot of the company's shipyard off Coast Highway, a number of boats await the minis- trations of the company's sensitive employees. There's one vessel whose hull has been cleaned of muck and mire · and sanded in preparation for a new paint job. There's another -a 34- foot Sea Ray -that's going to need much more attention than that. Its owner ran the poor thing onto the Friends of the Orange Coast Col- lege's Norman E.

Then he points to the warped metal prop shaft and strut. •And we can take all this stuff out.• Most of the work the shop han- dles is pretty simple: boats come in covered with marine grime, and Leading Edge cleans them up so they don't deteriorate. In his years with the company, York has become · quite an expert in this grime. •There's barnacles, mussels, tube worms, annelids and algae,• York said, sounding like a man who knows his job is secure.

I'm confident the hotel would be a stunning piece of architecture, designed to favor four-day tempo- rary guests with no vested interest in our dty. The council stated •the developer bas the right to try and climb Mount Everest,• refening to the many hurdles that would sur- face before such a plan could be approved. l immediately wondered U Sir Edmund Hil.Jary was part of the developer's team.

COMMISSIONER'S RESIGNATION The City Council will meet in closed session to d iscuss Commissioner M ike Scheafer's resigna- tion at a parks commis- sion meeting Aug. 23. Scheafer said he resigned because he felt his freedom of free speech was violated when the city attorney's office recommended he abstain from voting on the skate- board park issue. The recommendation came after Scheafer opposed the council's decision on a location for a skateboard park.

Ki.ff is organizing a walk- ing team for the annual Race for the Cure. The team will honor Rosalind Williams, who led the Confer.ence and Visitors Bureau before s~ cumbing to breast cancer in June. So far, 45 people -most- ly city employees -have joined the team. With a goal of raising $10,000, Kitt hopes to find 15 to 20 more walkers to join the race. In order to accommo- date everyone interested .in raising money in Williams' name, Kiff said the team decided to join the walking event rather than the running section of the 5K race. "r don't think ,anybody minds walking," he said. "We'll just have a good time.H Although he only knew Williams on a professional basis, Kiff said he respected her work. "I wanted to find a way that the city community can honor her m a positive way," he said. Proceeds from the race will go to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foun- dation, which uses the mon- ey to fund research as well as education and preven- tion programs. Last year, racers raised nearly $1.4 million. ..

He feels his calling is to help kids through table tennis, and Malek does it through a program that offers training and college scholarships to anyone trying to reach the world-class level. For his services, ·Malek was recognized with a rare opportunity. He was sel~ed by USA Table Tennis, along with eight players and the two national coaches, to go to China for the 30th anniversary or the Ping Pong Diplomacy. Malek will be the team's tliird coach. In 1971, China invited the U.S. national table tennis team for friendlies in Beijing. That team was the first Americans to visit China since the Com.qu.,nist revolution in 1949. The event helped spark a restoration of diplomatic relations, however unsteady, between the two natiQns.

"I've never had a problem getting kids interested,· Malek said. "I tell a kid that if they can return a serve off me, they get a dollar. Or if they win five points off me in a game to 11 points. they get $5. Once I get kids started, they want to keep playing.· "We're a nonprofit organization that provides training and financial assistants or kids willing to work hard,• he said.
