Alex Coolman DAILY PILOT NEWPORT BEACH -The city is looking to sell its small stake in the San Joaquin Reservoir to the Irvine Ranch Water District, a move city leaders hope will reduce the potential for treated waste to be dumped in the Upper Newport Bay. A local environmental leader, how- ever, is critical pf the deal, saying the city is giving up its lone bargaining chip to keep treated water out of the environmentally sensitive bay. Tonight, the City Council will con- sider selling its 1.18% stake in the San Joaquin Reservoir, a now empty facil- ity in the hills east of Newport Beach. Newport Beach is one of eight parties that shares ownership of the reservoir and would get about $13,000 in the sale. The water district intends to buy all outstanding shares for the reservoir and convert the facility into a storage lake for highly treated sewage used for irrigation and industrial work. Deputy City Manager Dave Kitt said the move should be an environ- mental boon to the city because giv- ing the water district complete control of the reservoir will reduce the likeli- hood that excess reclaimed water will be dumped into the watershed for the Back Bay. During winter months, when the district produces more water than it can use, the excess could be held in the reservoir; during the dry summer months, the stored reserve of water could be tapped to maintain a con- stant supply.

Daily Pilot IN THE CLASSROOM Paularino pupils practice their P's Kindergarten class takes on a new letter each week as young students wind their way through the alphabet Danette Goulet DAILY PILOT • IN ntE QASSROOM is a weekly feature In llllhich Dally Piiot education writer Danette Goulet visits a campus within the New· port·Mesa Unified School District and writes about her experl· ence. ' p ' is for the perfect pack of penguins passionately pursuing proficiency at Paularlno. A plethora of pupils calling themselves the •penguin class• read about pink pigs and created purple and yellow patterns prior to playtime Monday morning. Each week in Kathleen Romines' kindergarten class at Paularlno Elementary School, the young students learn all about a new letter of the alphabet. Guess what this week's letter was. Plenty of little.pusses puckered up to make the pop· ping sound of the letter •p•. •Paa, paa, paa, • poofed the class. To provide a more pleasurable program for her young pupils, Romines brought in a wind-up pig that oinks, snorts and walks. She then proceeded to produce a pink pig puppet for students to play with. Perhaps they hadn't ye t perceived a pattern until she read the paperback "Pigs Aplenty, Pigs Galore• by Davis McPhail. One petite person perked up, however, when she sang about a Purple People Eater -he'd played that song at home. Prior to their next pursuit, Romines produced a pur- ple paper that a pupil bad poked with a pencil. They would put that in the plexiglass window and let the light pour through. Next it was time to pull out the plastic tub packed with pink, purple and yellow plastic pieces and put them together to make a pattern. · One young man quickly proved his prowess at pro- ducing patterns -others were pretty to peruse, but not proper prototypes. GREG fRY I DAA.Y PM.OT Paularlno Elementary School teacher Kathleen Romines works with her kindergarten class as she reads them a story about pigs. After the pursuit of patterns it was time to play. Each pupil grabbed their personal packs with peaches, pudding, plums and Pop Tarts. With a purposeful flick of her ponytail, one young person plopped her pink pack over her shoulder like a purse and pranced out to play. Newport Harbor High brings hoine the hardware • Contingent from high school traveled to Washington over the weekend to receive national award. D•nette Goulet DAJLY PILOT NEWPORT BEACH -Bleary. eyed but proud, a small delegation of Newport Harbor High School representatives returned from Washington, D.C. on Monday, hav· ing received the highest national honor bestowed upon a school - the National Blue Ribbon Award. While its travels may have been rough, the group was ecstatic to be one of only 88 high schools in the country to receive the award this year. "It's a bigger honor than I real- ized,• sa.id Da Vmd Academy teacher Joe Robinson, upon disq>v- ering how exclusive the group of honorees was. •Jt just says what we're doing here is the right thing.,. Newport Harbor was one of only four high schools in Orange County -15 in California -to be named a Blue Ribbon school this year. Developed by the Secretary of Education in 1982, the Blue Ribbon program was designed to identify and give recognition to outstanding schools throughout the country. Before any school can claim a Blue Ribbon, it must first earn the honor of being a California Distin- guished School. Once a school receives that award, it is invited to apply for the national award. •tt was a grueling application process,· said Robinson, whq. com- pleted the lion's share of the paper- work. •Tuey want to know you're as good as you say you are.,. Robinson was accompanied to Washington by his wife, Mary, stu- dent Meredith Chinn and her father, and 'feCently retired principal Bob Boies and his wife, Barbara. ·u was really just a great experi· ence," Boies said. •trs a nice way to end my career, but it's also great for Newport Harbor." Bven more exciting than the pre- sentation banquet, Chinn said, was a one-on-one seminar with other student-delegates. "Every student shared a little about their schooli why they deserved the award and how you can have a role as a leader," Chinn said. But what most inspired the 16- year-old student was not the suc- cesses of other schools, but their shared woes. . "It's just nice know that there are other people out there dealing with the same issues we are,• she said. Each member of the delegation attended their own seminar and each took something different with them. •on a more petsonal note, it's also saying that not all schools have bad test scores.

Coast Guard in Newporl Harbor A recent story in the Daily Pilot about the first U.S. Navy vessel to visit Newport Harbor since 1946 dredged up memories of the great U.S. Navy/U.S. Coast Guard confrontation of World War II in Newport Harbor. Shortly alter Pearl Har- bor, the United States Coast Guard, which bad taken over Collins Island to use as its headquarters, bad a bril- liant idea. It anchored a float in front of the King Gillette house at the harbor entrance. Prom it they kept all pleasure boats inside the harbor, allowed only fishing boats out, and secured the harbor from invasion by Japanese forces. Of course, the Japanese were a few thousand miles away at places like Guadal- canal and Tarawa, but you couldn't be loo careful. And so it was that one day a 30-foot cabin cruiser came into the harbor. lt was one of those pleasure boats the Navy was converting into military vessels. Just how they were going to convert a 30-foot cabin cruiser into a warship is somewhat of a mystery, but in those semi-hysterical days following Pearl Harbor, people did strange things. Anyway, this boat manned by a Navy ensign and two enlisted men sailed right by the Coast Guard float without stopping. This enraged the Coast Guard ensign in command of the float. He grabbed a run- about, which had been commandeered by the Coast Guard, took two enlisted men and sailed in pursuit of the cabin cruiser. The Coast Guard ensign caught up with the cruiser at about the Pavilion and ordered the Navy ensign to stop. However, the Navy man would have no part of taking orders from the Coast Guard and continued Robert. Gordner fHE VERDICT to sail on. The Coast Guard ensign pulled his boat alongside the Navy boat and roared in tones of which Capt. Hora- tio Hornblower would have been proud: •Prepare to board!" The Navy ensign responded in tones of which John Paul Jones would have been proud: "Prepare to repel boarders!" However, the four enlist- ed men would have no part of this foolishness. They just stood there looking at each other, rolling their eyes and giggling. Finally, the two vessels arrived at the boat works where the Navy ensign was to deliver his boat. The two enraged officers exchanged identification information, each demanding of his com- manding officer that the other be court-martialed. Of course, the command- ing officers would have no part of such nonsense and instead apologized to each other for the antics of his junior office r. End of the great con- frontation, but 1t was rumored that the two offi- cers sent their respective e nsigns to a Navy-held speck of coral west of Hawaii called French Frigate Shoals, which was inhabited entirely by Gooney birds. • ROBEllT GARDNER is a Corona del Mar resident and a former judge.

WHAT TO EXPECT: Having originated with the school board, the reso- lution is expected to pass. A special reception and presentation will also be scheduled for the next board meeting Oct. 10. SCHOOL SPENDING The school board will consider establishing a list of ways in which schools may spend a one-time grant that was allocated to each school district in the state budget. The 2000-01 state bud- get divides the $180-million excess from Proposition 98 funding for one-time school site grants. The leg- islation provides that each school site should decide how to spend the money, but the uses must be approved by the school board. Each school site must have approval for use of the money by May 1 or the funding will be lost. Each site is expected to receive a minimum of $10,000. WHAT TO EXPECT: District staff is recom- mending the board set a list of parameters to expe- dite the approval process.

Kitt said. The plan would also make it possible for the water district to provide reclaimed water to more customers, according to staff reports. And it would restore a •btue water" view to residents who live near the reservoir. .Qut Bob Caustin, founder of Defend the Bay, contends that Newport Beach should be using its smoD share of reservoir own- ership as a bargaining chip to push the water district for greater concessions on its dis- charge policies. He said the district, far from making an earnest effort to reduce discharges, works to dump as much reclaimed water as it can get away with. "They continue to pursue permits to do so, and over the years they have proven them· selves to be irresponsible and have allowed discharges into the bay,• he said. The water district is only allowei\ to dump water into San Diego Creek, the main bibu- tary to the Back Bay, during particularly heavy rains.

The district did not report the spill for more than 48 hours and was eventually fined $10,000 . In October 1995, another pipe leak sent 1.4 million gal-· Ions of reclaimed water into another bay tributary. The fine in that case was $45,000. And in 1996, the water dis- bict pushed for an agreement called the Wetlands Water Supply Project, which would have allowed it to dump 5 mil- lion gallons of reclaimed water per day into the bay during much of the year. It took a Defend the Bay lawsuit to pre- vent the project from being enacted. Gaining a reservoir won't change the distrlct1s approach, Caustin argues. But it will mean that Newport Beach no longer has anything but a non binding "joint statement of objectives" to use when bargaining with the district. Kiff, however, said there will be enough teeth in the deal. •we will hold them to that (agreement),• Kiff said. "That will be us standing on a bully pulpit and saying 'Hey. you agreed to this.'

The budget, which spells out how $146 million will be spent in the next fiscal year, gives much more detail than ever before and ties the money to <;}ear, articulated goals. This is the first year that thv goals were detemuned before the money was budgeted. The hearings had three speak- ers: two students of nuddle school-age who had specific questions about the funding of programs at their schools, and the president of the teachers' union. Apparently, the rest of us are sat- isfied with the allocation of dol- lars throughout the district. However, there is a definite lack of equality when it comes to the number of school personnel needed. For example, our tradi- tional high schools vary in popula- tion from 1,063 to 2,273 students. Yet, there is almost exactly the same number of clerical workers at each school: The school with the least number of clerical workers has almost double the population of one that has more. flbe district has about 22,000 students and spends about $6,500 on each student. However, because $6 million is spent on spe- cial education students, the amount spent on each student is not equal.) One campus has three coun- selors; the others have four and serve almost or more than double the same amount of kids. Three schools have three principals/assis- tants, while the biggest one has only four. The ratio of support staff to students is even more skewed at the alternative high schools, where the number of students assigned to counselors dips to 130 to one, as opposed to 568 to one at one tradi- tional high school site. Our elementary schools range in size from about 300 to 800 stu- dents. Yet they each have about two clerical staffers and, except for the largest school, one principal. The budget has a line item for school safety and violence thanks to grant funds that became avail- able after recent school shootings throughout the country. In New- port Beach, that money is being used to fund police officers on sec- ondary school campuses. J would like to suggest a differ- ent strategy that wouldn't take any money, but just a few minutes of class time. We recenUy hosted a dinner for a ~ool choir that was fanned at the ~ of school The kids are from dU.ferent grade level.I and take part in different acUvities, so they did not necessarily know each other.

Tuesday, September 26, 2000 5 November vote critical for Newport Beach 0 n Nov. 7, Newport Beach citizens will have the opportunity to vote yes or n<>on two measures (Sand T). The results will have a profound effect on the quality of life in our beauti- ful city. . Measure S (also known as RE.unll Greenlight) is sponsored by resident volun- teers, whe.reas Measure T is spon- sored by wealthy and powerful developers. Measure S would allow voters to approve or disapprove any pro- posed major development, which required an amendment (change) to the city's zoning plans (common- ly known as the general plan). Measure S qua1ilied for the ballot by obtaining more than 10,000 sig- natures, all collected by citizen vol- unteers. Measure T was sponsored by developers for the sole purpose of invalidating that measure. Another significant difference is that many of the Measure T signa- rures were collected by nonresi- dents who were paid to collect them. Marion Bergeson, in a paid political ad published in the Daily Pilot, stated Measure S (if enacted) would force dozens of elections over the next few years. The electorate is entitled to know as much factual information as is available. Bergeson's state- ment is grossly misleading, based not only on Greenlight's election fr~Huency analysis but also by a second and independent analysis, requested and paid for by the city of Newport Beach. The same Marion Bergeson ad stated that "Measure S abandons representative government• This accusation assumes that the current Newport Beach City Council is in fact representative government and is therefore acting on behalf of and for the benefit of the citizens who put them in office. But representative government means that when citizens' wishes are overwhelming. such wishes would prevail over other minority interests, such as developers. Do we have representative gov- ernment today? No. We have mis- representative government, as evi- dent by the council's bias in favor of the Dunes hotel, and its direc- tive to solicit a bid for a hotel in READERS RESPOND Marina park. Such a development would uproot the American Leqion, a city park, tennis courts, a Girl Scouts meeting house and a playground. The citizens' outcry against both hotels has gone unheeded by the current City Council. Citizens' remedy for nonrepre- sentative government is twofold: elect council people whose views urunistakably refiect the wishes of residents; and secondly, in accor- dance with California law, give voters the opportunity to bypass the legislative process by resorting to the initiative process. Both remedies are being pursued by the proponents of Measure S. • FRANK EISENDRAnt is a resident of Newport Beach.

Asked about Holly and Misty's last match, he added: ·A 10% increase in getting the ball down and they would have won the game." Tue answer to how they could have accompllshed this was a multiple answer. The gist was changing their attack or defense whenever it wasn't working, and doing it early in the points. Butch fell sure that changes would be made to help them effectively play against the top FJVB teams. As for Misty, she beads out early from the Olympics. Her final credits needed to graduate from Long Beach State had been put on hold during her time with the USA indoor national team, then later with Holly in their Olympic challenge. She will finish up her fin al classes, then more bedch volleyball.
