Paul Clinton DAILY PILOT NEWPORT BEACH -It may have the word •Greenligbt• in its 04me, but a newly formed group supporting the planned Koll Center expansion isn't comprised of the usual suspects. In fact, the bana of community lead- ers who led the effort behind last November's successful Greenlight slow- growth measure say this group ~ nothing to do with them. The new group, which calls itself the Greenlight Implementation Committee, has submitted a ballot argument sup- porting the Koll expansion Measure G, the first test of the slow.gi:owth initia- tive. But Phil Arst, and other supporters of the Greenlight measure, said the new . group is 'deliberately trying to obfuscate the Koll issue. "We do think it's a calculated ges- ture.• Arst said. "The whole thing is put together to confuse the voten and mis- lead the voters.• Arst and others on the Greenlight steering committee, ttle ad hoc group set up to implement the initiative, sent a letter to Koll developers on Saturday protesting the new group. The council approved the Koll expansion July 24 oo a slim 4-3 vote and Qie development kicked off the voter- approval requirements called for in the new Greenligbt law.

John Kidwett, commander of, the new Coast Guard cutter Nal'WNI, has oftered to keep the Newport-Mesa commu- nity u~ on the aew's journey through • series of ..mail reporU and photos from a dozen ports of call. On Wednaday, 1he ship Is .scheduled to makes Its way to Newport Beach. The following Is his seventh report as he takes our rNders •bo¥d the ship: W ell, our stay in beautiful Costa Rica quickly came to an end. At approximately 0700 on Monday Aug. 13, we departed the port of Golfito, Costa Rica, and headed north through the Pacific to Fonseca; El Salvador. For the first time in our joorney we are beginning to f eeI as if we are almost home. Even though we still have not met our halfway mark, sailing north with the land on our starboard side feels inore familiar to ua and reminds us of home. Furthermore, the crew was very much looking forward to seeing the country we have learned so mucb about from our new friends the crew of them Salvadoran PM-12. Arriving in the Gulf of Pomeca. El Salvador on Aug. 1•. we were greeted with overwhelming hospi- tality. For many months, the Navy of El Salvador and the crew of the Narwhal have been planning this event. As we moored to the Navy, there were soldiers and lallon In ceremo- Dlal formation to welcome ua. The captai:n of the El Salvadoran Naval Ba.le, Commander MiOez, personal- ly welcomed us and encouraged us to ~t all of bis country. Our atay was very well-organized and their hoSpitality and generoatty were overwhelming. We were quickly taken to see the The new Coast Guard cutter makes a stop in El Salvador on its way to Newport Beach cities of La Union and San Miguel, two of the largest cities in El Sal- vador. We were able to explore the surrounding areas, local shops and restaurants. No matter where we visited, there was always one con- stant: genuine hospitality. On the evening of Aug. 16, we attended a formal reception where we were greeted by the naval base's executive officer, Capt. Castellanos, and bis entire officer corps. Also present wu the mayor of La Union and other city offidlils. This was a wonderful experience and a great opportunity for everyone present to get to know each other and share expertences. Owing this reception., we found out that our friends, the crew of the PM-12, unfortunately were still on their way home from Califomia. We did, however, learn their location and wU1 pl.an to try and meet them either in Guatemala or out at sea at a pre- arranged location. Prom the begin- ning, we knew that our visit was going to be very important to both the El Salvadoran Navy and the U.S. Coast Guard. What we didn't realize was the immense impact this trip would eventually leave on us. Por thOle who do not know, the El Salvadoran naval vessel PM-12 was formerly'known a the Point Stuart and ltadoned m Newport Beach. She wu decommlnioned on April 26 of thls year ad given to the El Salvildoram. That ceremony is the same ceremony In -whlch I took over u commaftdl~ officer of the Coast Guard cutter arwhal. The Narwhal ii the new replace- ment for the Point Stuart, but the Point Stuart still lives on as the new PM-12 and will serve the country of El Salvador just as she did for the Newport Beach community. She could not have gone to a more won- derful country or generous people. They will take great care of her. • • • This is our second day in La Union, El Salvador. It is located in the gulf of Fonseca. There are three different countries that border this gulf: El Salvador, Honduras and Nicaragua. Our stay here bas been very exciting. The Narwhal was greeted with military honors at the pier by the El Salvadoran Coast Guard, Navy an~ Army. El Salvador is very glad to see us and has exceeded all aspects of what a host country might do for a visiting ship. Last night. myself and the execu- tive officer attended a birthday par· ty for a prominent family in La Union. There we met the mayor,' many Navy, Army and Coast Guard officers, along wttb more than 50 distinguished guests. Unbelievable, to say the least. · Tonight, we have a far~well reception to attend at the Navy base where the Commander of El Sal- vadoran Naval Forces will preside. Although we will be stopping in Puerto Quetzal, Guatemala, on Aug. 18, I will not be granting liberty for my crew there. The risks of violence are far to great for my crew. Again, this port of call for the cut- ter Narwhal will never be forgotten. We have been treated with the hlgbelt regard by everyone from the highest ranking military officers to the local people of this fine town.

However, in our area, South- ern California. I think that fall is the best time to be on the water because the weather is usually warm. the sea tem- perature is DOW in the 70s and the aowds are thinning. Sincle our waterways do not ioe over no! do we experi- ence the bitter cold. as in oth- er northern waterways, we have the luxury of boating year-round (oh. the daytime air temperature may drop in the 50s, get me my parka). Just keep in mind that the IUD will start setting eadier, so check your navigation lights. All vessels must dis- play the proper navigation lights from sunset to sumise and during periods of restrict- ed visibility. Most boats under power are to display a for- ward 225-degree, white mast headlight. a red light on the port side with a green light on the starboard side both dis- playing 112.5 degrees from the bow aft on their respected side, and a white stem light displaying 135 degrees astern. This completes a 360- degree d:rde around the ves- sel for other skippers to approximately calculate your direction of travel Few~ under sail pow- er only, mearring not using the engine, do pot display the rnMff)eed light, but display the forward red and green lights, and the white stem light There are exoeptio~ to these rules, such as towing, vessels restricted with reasons, emer- gency operatioos, small row- ing canoes and ships. Know befcn you go, so pick. up a book that explains the differ- ent lights and day shapes to cany aboord for quick refer- enoe. I cany a dleat sheet next to my U.S. Coast Guard's master Uoeme that I use to refresh my memory. Have you noticed how boats regularly hit channel markers numbered eight and ten tweaking the markers' tops? I have been p<>Ddering why the markers are being bit, and I have been trying to theorize solutiClllS to solve the problem. If you have cruised the harbor at nighttime, espe- ciallv on a moonless night. you know how difficult it is to differentiate the sman fta.sh- lng red lights from all the background ligbtl including homes, can, street lights and colored outdoor lighting. Skippers not familiar with • the channel marlter locations may loM the lights, but it's easier at low tide When the marken are higher out o1 the water. The best solution la for aldppen to pay more atten- tion to their charts and where they are in the harbor. How- ever, this ii an Impassible ~ IO falling short of dr· ding, the markers with white Cbdstmu ~ts. how aboUt Mle Whitehead · THE HARBOR COLUMN circling the large support poles with reflective tape? One reader wrote that channel marker eight should be moved to the side of the cbannpJ by the Balboa Yacht Oub moorings and another reader suggested that channel marker eight be put back to a floating marker as it was orig- inally. Interesting, but marker ten gets bit. too, even being tucked in by the moorings. • • • Last week at the Newport Harbor Area Chamber of Commerce Board of Direc- tor's meeting, I was sat next to Jim Uldcka.s of the Blue- water Grill . .fun mentioned that he has a small dock for visiting boaters to use while patronizing bis restaurant, but that the dock gets filled up quickly and, due to its size, is unable to accommo- date larger boats. A common problem in this harbor is adequate guest dockage, however, the muewater and the •Cannery'" are located at; the very end o1 the Rhine Channel with the Rhine Wharf in between. Both of us agree that the Rhine wharf is an excellent location to have a public floating dock for visiting boaters to use for a few houn. Jim mentioned that maybe a modified parking meter system could be installed on the dock:s or have a few hour time limit similar to Shoreline Village in Long Beach. This dock would allow boaters to not only access the nearby restaurants, but also a gro- cery store with other shops only a few blocks away would be well within walk- ing distance. Since Newport Harbor does not ba.ve a single public dock for boaters to use over 20 minutes, excluding the guest slips at the harbor department. this wharf could provide the pedect opportu- nity to start making the har- bor boater friendly. What do you think? Let me know. Tip foe the week: remem- ber to check your bilge for oil and fuel before activating your bilge pump and conta- minating the harbor.

Fonner CIF Player of the Year starred on Sea Kings' first two CIF title teams. Richard Dunn DAILY PILOT en tracirig the rich water polo tradition at Corona del Mar High, you begin will) its first coach, Ted Newland, then go straight to Pat McClellan. ln the autumn of1965, the Sea Kings captured their first of whJLt would become 11 CIF Southern Section championships. They repealed a.s CIF champions in 1966 as McClellan, a two-meter standout. was the Crestview League and CIP Player of the Year. But, because of a coaching change from Newland to Cliff Hooper, the CdM know-it-all seniors ln '66 didn't exactly make it easy on their new coach. unusual to find some players not at workout, but instead shooting billiards or bowling or. goofing otr ... it was an interesting year. J suspect a lot of high school kids are a little less diligent as seniors than earlier, having figured some things out and with college already in the books. I think we had some senioritis going on most of that time.· In the 1966 CIF championslup game against Downey, McClellan's shooting went cold, although CdM won m overtime, 10-9. "l couldn't m:aJte anything," McOellan said. "Carson came up to me and said. •Don't shoot anymor~I Give (the ball) to someone else!' I was fortunate to have guys around me who were all great. and we were real fortunate to l\ave played under Newland (from 1963 through '65), who taught us bow to Uunk in the water. "It was a great experience and a great group of guys, all of whom contributed equally 1n my opinion. I wouldn't have traded any of our guys.• "We were not particu· larly coachable, and it's a tribute to a couple of the guys on the team that we actuAlly won the next year, because we were fortunate to get by,• McClellan said. "Hooper was a great guy, but he was just trying to fill ln (for the legendary Newland, who became the first, and only. water polo coach at U~ Irvine).· McClellan, a 6-foot-1, 205-pounder at Cd.M, Pat McClellan followed Newland to UCI, McClellan was the primary benefidary of the Sea Kings' vaunted counterattack, as players like Eric Carson and Mike Martin-Sherrill were the last swimmers and "workhorses" who tired out every opponent by the fourth quarter. in McClella.n's junior year, the '65 Sea KJngs ended the long reign of El Segundo, which bad won 12 of the last 18 CIF titles under Coach Utbo Saari since 1947. CdM edged the Eagles, 8-7. in the CIF title game. El Segundo, which won its 12th CIP title In '64, never won again. while Back Bay aquatics powers- Newport Harbor and CdM would begin an unprecedented supremacy in water polo with a combined 19 CIF champion.ships from 1965 to '89.
