Humans were not designed to be in the ocean -they have legs, not fins, she said. And a lot of people who want to sail are just too anxious.

After following a court case in Los Angeles County where the daywork- ers' ordinance was challenged in court, the Costa Mesa City Attorney's Office reexamined the language in its existing ordinance. A Los Angeles court judge ruled that parts of Los Angeles' ordinance were too vague and encroached upon an individual's freedom of speech. Assistant City Atty. Tom Wood said if the recom- mended changes '/ think it was very proactive of them to follow the Los Angeles case and work to keep ahead of any challenge.' are made to the ordinance, he is confident it would stand up to any First Amendment challenge.

She was and still is the ~.:1 vessel ever to enter the bar- • When the Pacific fleet returned to the West Coast at the end of World War D, all of the ship repair facilities ·at San Pedro and Long Beach were inundated with work. South Coast Shipyard bad open time. Thus, Hale was ta.ken to Newport Harbor for repairs that did not require dry dock- ~ the ship. A six-week availability was scheduled. Hale, a 2.100-ton Fletcher Class destroyer, was 316 feet, 6 inches long, with a beam of 39 feet, 7 inches and a draft of 13 feet when fully loeded. Her ammunition bad been removed at the Seal Beach Naval A91munition depot. The fuel-water ballast tanks prob- ably had been emptied, so the draft as she entered the harbor may have ~ 12 feet, 9 inches. The depth at mean low tide in the main .ship chan- nel was then 20 feet. The high tide on that morning was 5.1 feet, so the average depth under the keep was about 12 feet. 3 inches if Hale stayed in the main ship channel. 1\velve feet of water under the keep does not allow for much margin of error, not to mention the fact that a lhlp does not respond well to rudder movements when operating In shal- low water. Robert L Boyd, a local yachtsman ~o wu employed by the South a.ast Shipyard, boarded Hale at the B4Jl Bouy (r~ thp ~ boat Walrus add acted u the harbor pilot.

She was moored #starboard side to" these pilings or dolphins. The Hale was built by the Bath Iron Works at Bath, Maine, in 1943. She was commissioned at Boston on June 15, 1943 and immediately began a very actiVe wartime career. She arrived at Pearl Harbor in October 1943. Hale took part in sev- eral invasions in the Pad.fie. She was assigued escort duty with the battle- ship/cruiser &bore bombardment task forces operating off Japan. Hale wu awarded seven battle stars for the Padfic campaigns and two battle stars for the Philippine lib- eration campaign. Hale was a "lucky ship" du.tjng two years of hostile action again.st the enemy -she was never bit. During Hale's visit at Newport Harbor, various civic groups were given tours. On Jan. 10, 1946, 37 grammar school students were given a complete tour of the ship by Lt. Henry Lapld.n, the communi~tions officer, as a reward for selling war bonds. At that time, Balboa was the cen- ter of rec:re4tional activities. At the Pavilion. you could bowl, the Ren- dezvous Ballroom was open on weekends and there was Christians Hut for fine dining. Whites Cafe, Guss's S}lell Cafe and the Fun Zone were all in full operation. Then there was the "Bamboo Room," a cocktail lounge with a dance floor and a live band. A floor show was put on nightly by a couple, Holly and Lee. To get to the "Bamboo Room.· you went down a Dairow hallway from Main Street to the lounge, which was located behind the businesses that fronteQ Main Street Balboa had been invaded during the war by U.S A.rq:),y Air Corps cadets from the'San[A Ana A1r Base. In all due respect tor their brown uniforms, it was most refreshing in 1945 to see •sailor suits• around Bal- boa. The salty, war-decorated crew from the Hale took over the Bamboo Room. If a brown uniform came in. its owner was ushered out the rear door. Hale left Newport Harbor on a high tide without incident She pro- ceedt!d to San Diego, where the ship was deactivated and put into the reserve fleet. At the outbreak of the Korean War, the Hale was once again called "to the colots." Completely modern- ized and refurnished, she was com- missioned on March 24, 1951, and assigned to a new home port: New- port, R.I. Hale operated in the Atlantic and Mediterranean. She made two around the world goodwill and peacekeeping cruises. After a very active life of 18 yean, Hale was decommisstoned on Jan. 23, 1961, and given to the Columbian Navy. Pin.ally, in 1913 due to the rising cost of operation. she was decommissioned at Cartage- na. Columbia and eventually scrapped. ... A. .......

Our harbor, as well as oth- er harbors, is classified as "no discharge zones," which means you cannot discharge waste (sewage) into the har- bor or the ocean waters with- in three nautical miles of any coastline (mainland OT island): The federal Clean Water Act is the piece of leg- islation that helps enforce no discharge. HR 1730 would authorize dumping the hold- ing tanks from certain marine sanitation devices (as basic as an MSD Type 1) into the harbor. 1b1s poorly writ- ten bill by someone who appears to know nothing about boats' holding tanks or harbor water quality states that by simply treating the fecal coliform bacteria in the tank.I to a certain level makes it acceptable to intro- duce into our harbor. What Rep. Jb:n Saxton (R- N.J .) bas forgot is that all the other pathogens, paruites and viru.les that are con- tained in the tank will be introc:tuced into the harbor's water.

The School of Sailing & Seaman- ship has a great program for that and will have folks jogging in no time, she said. Beginners start their courses on 14-foot Udo dinghies. On those, they learn sailing fundamentals like ter- minology, rigging, safety, docking .under sail, tad:ing and jibing. In addition, students will learn in a hands-on environment, as 80% of instruction is done on the water in Newport Harbor. One class can have 12 to 33 stu- dents and two to four students share a boat. The class is five weeks and costs $99, not including textbooks. Classes are open.to people ages 14 and older. Classes for children ages 9 to 13 are offered in the early summer but are over now. Two beginning sailors, Marc and Andrea Robson, agree that knowing the fundamentals are crucial to the sport. •0nce you understand the terms and the basic rules, it's pretty DODE RO CONTINUED FROM 1 . wasn't for a letdown in the Big West tourney, it would have probably gone to the NCAA tournament.

She admittect to being a little overwhelmed at fint and nearly tip- ping-over, adding that she underesti- mated the power of the wind and nearly lost control of her sail. But as time has progressed. she has learned to relax on the water. "Even if you are d.l.scouraged at first, the more you do it, the easier it gets and the more comfortable you feel. It just Oows, • Andrea Robson said. Her husband, Marc, said be looks forward to sailing everyday after work. "It's a great way to wind down," he said Marc Robson's ultimate goal is to take a month off work and sail around the Virgin Islands. The beginning sailing class is a stepping stone, he said. "My husband's the adventurous half," Andrea said. "My goal is not to hit anything." Regardless of how exotic the rea- son for starting sailing, Dewitte said The School of Sailing & Seamanship can prepare would-be sailors. After learning the basics on the 14-foot Udo, participants graduate up to JO. foot Shields. "Those who can handlfJ a 30-foot boat without an engine are truly sailors,• Dewitte said. Once the tecbniques are mas- tered, students can start taking their boats offshore to the Catalina or Channel Islands, she SJlid. That is when the real fun starts. "Sailing alk!ws people to have true adventures because you never know what is going to happen next. You are surrounded by something much larger and more powerful than yourself,• Dewitte said. When a person is out on the water, they must also be aware of the cycles of the sun and the moon. something that urbanized people have forgotten, she said. It brings a person back to nature's most power- ful and driving forces and makes them realize they are part of a larger universe, she said. •Sailing forces you to be in tune with all ttie natural elements -the wind, waves, and weather. The nat- ural rhythms of the earth," Dewitte said. "That's something you don't get in other sports." The unpredictability of the sport justifies Dewitte's emphasis for prop- er education, she said. When people receive high quality training, they are more equipped to handle the dif- ferent variables, lhe said. Although Dewitte also recom- mends taking a daaroom naviga- tional Ooutle, it ti not required by the school as a pnnquillte to sailing. But the moie knowledge tomeOne has, the better they are able to face the challenges that sailing can produce. •If there weren't some risk, we wouldn't do it We'd be content on our couchel at home watching other people live their Jives,• Dewitte said. "But sailing is like life, you've got to do it to get the most from it." Dewitte bu been a boater since her three-week trip from Piji to New Zealand, she saJd. She said she nev- er felt a more calming feeling than being .out there on the water for so long. It was like her life was reduced to its simplest form. she said. "It's just you, and the boat and the wind and the water,• she said. •1t felt llk.e everything blended.

I st1ll call her when I have a paper to write. The only sad part now ts that I'm going to have to steal her job. I feel bad about it Maybe we can work something out together.· Before Mullen lobbies for a career at CHOC, she still has another veer of pitching in fron{ of her, after tramfentng from Goldey-Beacom College in Delaware to a community college for one year, then to West Chester. Mullen, whose best pitch ii a tbree-knuckle drop, was voted the team's most valuable player her sophomore sea.son at Goldey-Beacom ln 1999. But the school didn't offer the major in sodal work that Mullen was seeking, so she tramferred. The latest honoree in the Daily PUot Sports Hall of Fame, who pl4ns to attend graduate school at San Frandsco State or the University of San Prandsco, thrives on oft-speed pitcbes on the mound.Her three-knuckle drop is so unpre. dictable that •most catchers will tell you it can be (nasty), because it (sometimes) bounces three feet before the plate. But when it's working, it's nice.· In high school, Mullen also played field hockey, but softball was her sped.alty. She played four varsity seasons at Newport Harbor and earned All-Sea View League honors all four years, her freshman year u a third bueman and the lut tbree u a pitcher. Mullen was also a four-ttme all-dlstrid selection, including the aforementioned Player of the Year honor u a junior in '96, wben abe batted .352 and won 6 of 11 pttching dedslonl, lndudlng a no-bitter and three one-bitterl.
