Believe it or not. ~ Ebell Oub is why New- port Beach bas a central librar)t today. L0old!t BICK In 1909, wbenthe dub was formed, one its early goals was to get its hands on a traveling rollec- tion of books from the State Ubrary. The books were made available to the com- munity to read for only three hours a week at the Eben Club's meeting place. But that small collection started the seeds of a library. lbenumberofbooksavail- able grew to JOO within a few years. H you consider this the start of Newport Beach's library, then its history dates back almost 90 years. But if you need an official city ordi- rumce to mark the library's start, the Newport Beach City Council passed one n 1920estab~hingafreepu~ lie library. The Women's Civic League pushed for this move. In the same year, a board of library trostees was created. There were five members. The library cele- brated its official 80tb anniversary last year and brought a cake to a City Council meeting. ·The lib~s mission is to be the cultUraL educational and informational heart of the city,• said Patrick Bar- tolic, presiding chair of the Newport Beach Public Library Board of lhlstees. • 1 think they fairly well achieved national status and recognition doing that.· • ID 1929, a new City Ubrary was built tn East N~ Park oo Balboa BOulevU'd. In UN?, a small station of the library opened in Corona del MU. :tbe Friends ot the · Library became incorporated in 195?, and in 1959, an olfl. dal Corona de1 Mar branch opened on Marigold Avenue. .Four years later, the Martners Branch Lib~ opened and in 1980, the Newport Center Branch Library on San Clemente Avenue started. Today, the Orange County Musewn of Art's educational and adnllnistrative offices operate out ol this site. But libnuy volunteers still felt the need for a central library, said dty librarian LaDonna Kienitz. "You need to have a cen- tral site for some of the less used matedals, • she said. ·vou need to have a basis for reference service, otherwise you would be duplicating them at every branch you had." Ano in 1994, with S2 mil- lion raised for the project, the $10 million Central Library on Avocado Avenue was built. Last year, the American Library Assn. ranked it the country's 3rd best community library out of more than 9,000 considered. "The library is excellent, but it's really due to the hun- dreds of volunteers in the city that have worked to make it that way,• Kienitz said. • Do you know of a person, place or tNent that deserves a historical Look Bliek?

Walking for . ~orld . peace The annual Peace Walle at THangle SqUare drew a larger than usual crowd, plµs a few protesters. DelrdN Newman DAILY PILOT A traditional celebration of peace turned into a quest for peace when Orange County residents of diverse faiths unit- ed for the 2001 Peace Walk on Saturday. The.Peace Walk, which took place at Triangle Square in Costa Mesa, is an annual event that honors the United Nations' International Day of Peace. But this year, as the United States prepares its military for possible warfare in response to the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks on the World lrade Center and the Pentagon. the ceremony highlighted the need for peace at the local, national and glob- al levels. "It is, however, [up tol each member of the hwnan family -yes, each one of us -to assure that terrorism and bate do not win,• said Costa Mesa mayor Libby Cowan. ·we must continue our work to advance peace, justice, equal- ity and freedom around our neighborhoods, our communi- ties, our country, our world.• The walk dr~w a larger crowd this year than in the past, with dose to 270 partici~ pants, officials said: The rally also drew a few protesters. who used the forum AllT REsTORATION We repair dam~cd: • PORCELAIN • LRYSTAL • PAINilNGS • OUNA • G~ •-GIWtUCS • flAMES AND OTHEl AR1 Cowcmw rro-oF-P ~~l I ,.,,.

He went home and came back with two signs. One of them read, •No justice. No peace. Retaliate now.• Another man was seen cycling around the crowd with a shirt that targeted Osama bin Laden, who is suspected of organizing the Sept 11 terror- ist attacks. SuzanneDarweeshofthe United Nations Assn. said at times like this, it's hard to rec- oncile the conflict resulting from the desire to punish the terrorists and the wish for peace. •When people do such desperate acts, they're help- less, they hate, -Darweesb said.

The Baha'is believe in the oneness of humanity and religion, and consider world peace one of their goals. Other religious groups and civic organizations that partic- ipated in this year's walk include the United Nations Assn .. the Unitarian Universalist Church and the National Assn. for the Advancement of Colored People. The walk's opening festivi- ties featured blessings by a peace shaman, Greeta Saaed Song, who also sang about love, peace and harmony. Alter the ceremony, partic- ipants grabbed flags, balloons and banners and beaded for a lap or two around the 'Ili.angle Square Shopping Center. Costa Mesa resident John Wald said he came to start the healing process t,y focusing on something: positive. ·1 wanted to do something besides be angry because I have a lot of hurt over what happened and wanted to put my energy into promoting peace.· Wald said. .~4(!.aue~ R es taurant ~---Established In 1962 ---- Motuho Night SJ>ecial Unnplete htite Fi/et Mi.

"I'll help them take it to the oounter," skycap Art Hernandez said. The prohibition of curbside check-in has made itself felt, aeeting long lines at the ticket counters during peak travel bows, usually the morning and late afternoon. Mwphy said that pasamgers should plan to arrive two hours early to.aocnmmodate the new standards. Among the inconveni~ at the terminal, travelers will be asked to open luggage and carry-on baggage for a search. People will be picked at ran- dom once they step into the terminal.

Last month. the couple returned to that exact / . spot. Except this time, they bad three kids in tow -Miles is 7, Mitchell is 6 and Sophia is 3 -and Miles remarked that everything down below looked like Legos. Accompanied by one set of grandparents and other relatives, the Mendozas did a quick run through of Paris, Rome and London before jumping aboard a seven- nigbt Mediterranean cruise in Portofino, Italy. "It was nice to be on a ship,· Heidi Mendoza, 37, said. ·And it was nice for the kids because they bad a pool on the ship." Some favorite sights included the colorfully-paint-· ed buildings in Portofino. They were orange, yellow, red and every other bright color on the rainbow, and coordinated in abstract designs. Elaborate yachts were parked in the water nearby. Magic Johnson bung out there, Ivana 1hunp did too. ·we were saying •how's it going Magic' and be was talking to me and my boys.• Ruben Mendoza said. •He was a lot bigger than be wu when be was playing.

A t the Daily Pilot, we, like the rest of the nation, are eager to help those in need of assistance in New York City and the Pentagon. But we've struggled with bow. We are a small newspaper, dedicated to covering the com- munities of Newport Beach and Costa Mesa. Our calling and our first priority is to the fine resi- dents of these towns. Could our little contribution help? Sure. But would it be more effective to join larger, more organized relief efforts? Probably. So instead of starting a relief fund of our own, we are choosing to direct our readers to those national relief efforts that we believe would be much more effective al aiding the.victims than we could be. First and foremost on that list would be the efforts of our parent company, the Tribune Co., the owners of the Daily Pilot and the Los Angeles Times. Through the Los Angeles Ti.mes/KTI.A-5 Disaster Relief Fund and 1iibune Disaster Relief Fund. money is being raised for the terror victims. All of the mon- ey collected and then.11Datched by the separate McCormick 1iibune Foundation will be sent as aid to the terrorized areas. The McCormick nibune Foun- dation will match 50 cents on the dollar for the first ~ million col- lected, or $2.5 million. But the efforts by the Tribune Co. and the Times are just one of many aiding our country and our citizens in this time of need. We salute them all.

And while the agency's latest proposal for changes at the beach and park is only preliminary, we'd have to say it's on the right track. The department's plan would include a mix of overnight vaca- tion rentals, an interpretive center and research labs. Where the department hits the mark are the rentals. About half of the 46 now-vacant cottages would be rented out for prices between $20 and $150 a night For the residents of California who have footed Uae bill sirice the state bought it from the bvine Co. in 1979, it's a Joog..awaited ttep in the light direction. Por too long . after the puri::base, the cove'• resi- dents were allowed to remain. Under the plan. the taxpaying public fiDally will have tbe oppor- tunity to spend a night on the majestic beacbfrootland that. slnoe the 1920. and until July, a few fortunate people C8lled home. ~the pi8ri fs PreJiminmy, environmentalists inc! former cove residents now tiaVe the opportunity • to voice their ooocems. Already, some have ca~tioned against tenting out the ~ges, which were placed on t.lie National Register of Historic Ploces in 1919. Aside from that. they have been pleased in that the state has obvi- ously made an effort to meet their needs. At this point, the state plans to spend between $12 million and $20 million to restore the cottages, a preservation effort that fonner residents have applauded. Those same farmer cove dwellers have called for the entire 46 cottages to be saved. Letter writers to this newspaper have called for the demolition of all of the cottages saying they truly have no historic significance in this state and were shabbily construct- ed from the get-go. We at the Pilot urge State Parks offidals to oonttnue in their eff~ to allow taxpayers to V8Y nomtnel fees to spend a night or 10 at the cove. At the -.ame time, we urge offidaJI to reconslder prelel'Ving the en~ 46 cottages and inltMd ~a eelect few. Tum the rove into a camp-· ground to ensure evezy ~yer bas the opportunity to what ls actually thein. · El Toro discUssion continued County doesn 't need an airport anymore Only a politician, feeling immune from the consequences of reality, would continue to sup- port another airport in the face of the air travel industiy's CWTent woes ("County supervisor . changes his El Toro vote," Wednesday). Flights are cut in half, layoffs by the airlines are as high as 20% of their work force, reduced purchases from Boeing and sub- sequent layoffs there, canc:ella- tions of numerous conventions, refusal of many pilots and Oight ·attendants to even come to work and that's just what bas hap- pened in the first week (since the tenorist attackl). Future prospects for a healthy air travel industry are pretty dim. nme is money, businessmen WOll't wait tbree·bours at the gate for a two-hour Oight. Short haul Oighta will decline draniati· cally. Vacation air travel will be heavily curtailed. (Hawaii will be a basket case by Chdltmaa). International air trav'el will con- tiliue but at a ~ reduced rate. . ,, ll~rt DIBITE The entire country bas been traumatized. It will be years before air travel returns to •nor- mal." We need another airport like we need another politician. DON HULL Costa Mesa It's a good time to settle on an airport It seems to me that now may be the time to settle the fight over the future of the former Marine Corp Air Station at El Toro. Newport Beach is satisfied with its agreement with the county that permits John Wayne Airport to have 8.4 million air passengers per year and about 120 airline~ per day. (f the El Toro Reuse ,Planning Authority offered the same deal for El Toro to the county, I bet the Board of Su~ would jump at the oppomWty, Wit to get El Toro oft its beck;. SoUth County dtiM, wtiich ,_ Job.D Wa~ the t most, wouldn't •suffer" more than Newport Beach alreldy does, and we would all be spared the ordeal ol a fourth El , Toro election. Besides, i1the proposed Cen- tral Park and Nature Pre9eive Initiative fails to make it to 1be March 2002 ballot. or if it does make it, and is defeated, the county could be in a position to shove a much larger El Toro ~­ port down South County's throat South County politicos should think about that pl'Olped and settle while they can.

Right now, people wearing white shirts with the red emblem of the American Red Cross are at the World "trade Center, the Pentagon and at the Pennslyvania era.sh site, helping ~e victims, their families and their friends. Among the around 4,000 volunteers at the group's Orange County chapter-1,000 of which are youth -is nurse Rebecca Israel of Costa ~Jsa. Israel is the acting t4nction lead for Disaster Health Services in Orange County. She said the woman who normally occupies this position is in New York at the Twin Towers site. Israel, along with Red Cross spokeswoman Rebecca Long, talked with Features Editor Jennller K Mahal about the role of the Red Cross in a commu- nity and what people can do to help -namely give ~e, give blood and give money. How did you first get Involved with the Red Crossf I first got involved when I was working for the hospital [Coastal Communities Hos- pital ln Santa Ana) and the Red Cross approached our business development offi- cer and was looking for anyone to volunteer. And 1 • got involved that way and sort of got hooked ever since. Tell me about some of tbe dflMten tbat you have worked the site oL What Is It like to go and do thatf It's interesting because when you first arrtve, it depends on what point of the disaster you're coming ln on. U it's the beginning it can be a little chaotic, in wbich ~e I think nurses do very well in situations like that, especially RNs !regis- tered nunes) in critical care and ER. We're used to what looks like to you to be chaos, and we're very good sorting things out and figur- ing out, OK, this n~ to go here and there, and there might be victims wandering. The firefighters are so busy taking care.of the fire, the police are doing what they do. The paramedics, of course, have taken off the hurt and the injwed. But a lot of times the victims, fam· Wes are not -I don't want to say forgotten -but they just kind of are standing off to the side and they really do need 90lllebody to come by. Blpf!Qally if it'a a large ( fire i.DvoMng multiple , a~t wilts. TbeY need IOIDeDG8 to come· and IOrt of organize them. put them in a safe aree, keep them warm. We have eome great maaa care w0rt .. here wtth tbe Red ero. tbat I've Won.eel With that ... we tiuly just work great together to take care of those kinds of folks. I've also worked most often for what we call single family fires. And we respond -our 'Red Cross investigators will go out first and figure out -and if they have nursing needs, med- ical needs, we replace their medications, their glasses if it was destroyed in a fire, their medical machinery, or anything like that. II they're unable to pay for that them- selves, then we look at helping them out with replacing that. Very often, as you can imagine, there's emotio~al trauma that can spill over into medical problems right there and then. People who have diabetes or byperten- ~ion will go right out of con- trol right in front of you. So, we're very often needed there. . As far as large disasters that I've served on, 1 was at Seattle. I was sent to Seattle to help out in the earth- quake. I was sent to Alaska Airlines two or three years ago (the plane crashed off Port Hueneme in Jantlary 2000 with 88 people aboard). I spent a week up in Los Angeles and I took care of the families there as they were brought from all areas of the country and assembled at the hotels there. We were tasked with taking cill1! of those fol.ks. In those kinds of situa- tions, we work extremely cloeely with our Disaster Meatal Heeltb. There's a fine line between an a,nxiety reaction and a little chest pein. And so, they'll bring the folks over to me to say "Is this really chest pain, or is this just anxiety.• So, we work very dosely in those circumstances. I've also worked -we bad the Lemon Heights fire · here a couple years ago, the Laguna fires, the Laguna floods ... poor Laguna! Whet I'm molt expe~ lng right now, and if there's a lllver liJi1Dg to this tetrlble ttegedy [on ~pl 111 is that we are inundated with nws- es and in some cases doc- tors. I am amazed at the doctors that want to come and volunteer. But nurses and EMTs and paramedics and respiratory therapists, which we don't get too many breathing treatments here, but I admire tbetr courage for volunteering. I am so inundated right now. it's been a long time since I've had to volunteer here at my own chapter instead of out in the field. It's like our own little mini- disaster, if you will, because we're ahnost at a disaster type of operation trying to incorporate all of these new wonderful volunteers. I'm so excited. We so desperately need nurses to help with those every day, single fam- ily fires and different events that happen in our community. We get stretched pretty thin. Thete's only a handful of us nurses that, for the last couple of years, have been taking care of those folks. And we're very, very grate- ful for the outpouring. What ls the role of the Red Cross In a communltyl We have many delicious roles that we do. We first of all respond to the communi- ty in a time of need. in dis- aster. Natural disasters, · man-made disasters ... fires, we respond to any large events like that. In addition, we also will help rehabilitate the com- munity. After a disaster. we will come in and assist them with their immediate needs, but help the community leaders figure out their long-term needs and help them with preparedness, so that the next time we want to mitigate the damage. We want to preven\ some of the damage, so we do a tremen- dpus amount of teaching. We have area in whlcb, we have folks b8f'8 at the Red ero.s that will work wtth the community leaders to ~t aD4 Diltigete fut. tber ~in the future. Tbe Red Croa is also tasked With -teacbiDg CPR dUies and firSt aid 1 and workplace types of issues too. Umm ... what else? Rebecca Long: I would say basic needs like your food and your shelter. Your mental health professionals. Israel: Very strong men- tal health. And in fact right now our mental health workers are dealing with what we're responding to right now, for instance with the tragedies that are going on right now. We have a mental health hotline where folks have been calling in. We have psychologists and trained folks that are deal- ing with the community itself. There are actually· people that are not neces- sarily relatives of those folks back in New York, but actu- ally are just so.deeply affected by what is going on. And something about the Red Cross is very com- forting to people and they look to us. 1 just had to report my cell phone was just stolen. And I spent a few minutes on the phone, just as Rebec- ca came to get me, and the lady that I was talking to - I mean, this is somebody probably in Oklahoma at a call center or something - and I don't know how it came up, but she men- tioned, •Where did you lose it?· and I said well ·1 work here at the Red Cross and I think I lost ... • and my gosh. she started crying and she said •1bank you so much for all you do.• I'm juat so amazed, so amued. at how people respect and gain comfort and feel so secure knowing the Red Cross is out there doing their job.

NEWPORT BEACH -Th.ls year's Touch at the Beach Rugby Townament, which was almost canceled due to the terrorist attacks on America, featured an emotional experience for the participants Sept. 15. The 15th annual touch rugby tourney hosted by the Back Bay Sharks Rugby Club of Newport Beach was dedicated to Mark Bingham, a rugby player from the Olympic Club in San Ftanclsco. Bingham, who was one of the passengers on board United Airlines Flight 93 which crashed in rural Pennsylvania, was among those who apparently fought with the hijackers, forcing the plane to crash short of its intended target. Banners supporting the American pride surrounded the field and American flags bung from palm trees and makeshift flagpoles all over Peninsula Park. A moment of silence was observed and over $100 was collected for the Red Cross and will be donated on behalf of the Back Bay Sharks Rugby Club. The tournament also featured the exciting dynamics of touch rugby, the non-cont.act version of the sport. Among the competitors, collegiate d ubs from Claremont College and UC Irvine and women's teams from San Diego were on hand. Also, teams from Santa Monica, Long Beach, and. Huntington Beach, as well as teams from Costa Mesa and Newport Beach joined the action. The Del Mar Exiles edged Da Boyz of San Diego in the championship game, 2-1. The Del Mar Hoodz took third place, beating the School of Hard Kn~ from Newport Beach ... for the prize money. In the women's exhibition match, the Hoodz Women's team defeated Ghetto Booty in another close game, while Claremont College edged out UCI, 2-0, to take the Collegiate title.
