School see~. solution .for campus violence
• With help from authors of
'Chicken Soup for the Soul,'
Kaiser Elementary begins
program to combat the
problem.
Danette Goulet
DAllY PILOT
COSTA MESA -When J essee
Marshall S4W another student being
beat up on the school playground, he
put a stop to it.
·1 told the bigger kid to stop beating
up on him or else rd either have to get
a teacher or get him away myself."
Jessee said. "The kid said thank you so
much. He was so thankful because be
already had a bloody nose and proba-
bly would have had a black eye."
The sixth-grade student related this
story to bis classmates at Kaiser Ele-
mentary School on Monday morning
during the first of five "Souper Safe
Schools" anti-violence lessons.
Based on the newest •Chicken
Soup• book, "Chide.en Soup for the
Preteen Soul," which was written in
part by two Costa Mesa women, the
.
program provides teachers with short
and simple lessons to combat school
violence.
The first objective is to help stu-
dents tealize that everyone bas the
power to help -and that help can be
as easy as a smile or kind word.
Teachers read an inspirational story
from the book, then they ask students
to relate a time that they helped some-
one, or were helped themselves.
Eric Silva, 11, talked about how he
}\elped bis little brother who had bro-
ken arm. ·
Christina Crouse, 12, told the class
about two friends of hers who had
spent theµ-free time helping hearing-
impaired students.
As students told their stories, more
and more hands shot up. Students
began to think of examples in their
lives of helping others and how it
made them feel.
•All you have to do if you walk by
someone is just give them a smile -
just look at them,· said 11-year-old
Holly Ward.
"It's amazing how contagious a
smile can be." agreed their teacher,
Linda Wyant.

WEST SIDE -On Swan'Drive along
Fairview Park, backyards of various
sizes jut out, forming a ragged border
for a spit of parkland surrounded by
private homes on one side and a flood
control channel on the other.
But that Jagged property line along
the residential area should run straight,
according to a city map, meaning about
20 of 32 backyards illegally encroach
on the public park; said Bill Mortis, the
city's public services director.
City stafJ members have scheduled
a meeting tonig ht to discuss the
encroachments. '
Some of the Fairview Park
encroachments, which take the form of
planter boxes, walls and patio furni-

while others encroach nearly 20 f ~et

•When I saw it, I said, 'What in the

Sandy Genis, who reported the
encroachments to the city. •The more

Anne Sorenson, a Swan Drive resi-
dent whose backyard does not spill
over into Fairview Park, said her neigh-

fences and planters, and that the dty
should not demand that all the items be
removed.

Taylor Harrison, Alessla Huch and Danielle Harrison share their books on dinosaurs and dragons ln the Newport Elementary Ubrary.
Dinosaurs in detail
D•Mtt• Goulet
DAILY Pu.or
Kindergartners sat cross-legged
on the carpeted floor, their necks
craned upward.
They were captivated by the sto-
ry being read to them by librarian
Stephanie Taylor, and when they
reached the last page of "TWice My
Size# by Adrian Mltchell, they
examined the picture together.
"I like the details,• Briggs Vtlo-
ria, 5, said with a solemn voice.
Earlier. the children had heard a
story about dinosaurs called
"Gigantic" by Pabick O 'Brien, fol-
lowed by the book about size.
The readings came during the
class's weekly library time. It's
something many of us certainly
remember well. but something that
children now are often denied.
Kindergarten students at Newport
Elementary get the rare opportunity to
spend time in the library.
Most elementary school libraries
are po longer staffed with librarians
who meet with students each week.
It was one of the programs, like art,
gym and music, cut by schools
years ago.
So students at Newport Elemen-
tary School are extremely fortunate
that their parents raised money to
bring library time back to their
school.
The children had stories read to
them, then scurried around choos-
ing a book that they would check
out for the week. Some of them
even played library computer
games.
·1 got a cute book on (dinosaur)
babies hatching," said Allison
Kahn, 6. •I like these ones because
they have the smallest babies. B1,1t,
it is kind of sad because they died
and everyone digs up their bones:
Sad as it is, every student in the
class wanted a book on dinosaurs.
Judging by Calvert's kiitder-
garten class, the youthful obsession
with dinosaurs is no longer limited
to little boys.
Boys and girls alike vied for the
coolest dinosaur book.
•Whoa These are kind of Wte
ducks,• said 5-year-old Thylor Har-
rison, examining the book she bad
chosen with her twin sister.
Danielle, and their classmate,
Alessia Huch.
•That's a tiny dinosaur.• Danielle
said pointing to a picture in
Alessia 's book.
"That's not a dinosaur; that's a
fish,• Alessia responded. •There's
the dinosaur.•
That's quite all right, Danielle.
Upside down, they're both just rep-
tilian-looking things.

On The
AGENDA
GREENUGHT
WORKING GROUP
The city Is planning to
create an ad hoc committee
t o advise the council on the
implementation of Measure
S, the Greenllght Init iative.
At tonight's meeting,
staff w ill present a short
report on guidelines for the
implementation of Green-
light and make preliminary
suggestions for the compo-
sition of the advisory com-
mittee.
What to expect
Appointment of t he com-
mittee members probably
will not take place until the

NEWPORT BEACH c1n COUNCIL PREVIEW
FYI
• Who: Newport Beach
City Council members
• What: City Council
meeting
• When: 7 p.m. Tuesday
• Where: City Hall, 3300
Newport Blvd.
Dec. 12 council meeting,
but staff has already come
up w ith its suggestion for
the group's composit ion.
They argue that it should
consist of two council mem-
bers; members of the plan-
ning commission, the envi-
ronmental quality affairs
committee, the economic
development committee
and the aviation commit-
t ee; and proponents of
Measure S.
Phil Arst. a spokesperson
for Measure S, said Monday
he was confident that the
committee composition
could ensure •a smooth
transition t o and operation
of Measure S. •
JOHN WAYNE FLIGHT CAPS
Last Tuesday, the Orange
County Board of Supervi-
sors voted against approv-
ing work to extend flight
caps at John Wayne Air-
port, but said it would
reconsider t he issue at its
Dec. 5 meeting.
wtt.t to expect The
counci l will discuss the
board's action and deter-
mine what the city's strategy
should be for pushing the
board to extend the caps.
CABLE TELEVlSION
The council will take up
the city's telecommunica-
tions pollcles. Newport's
agreements with Comcast
and Cox for cable television
service expire in 2002. The
city is preparing to negoti-
ate new agreements, which
will probably be w ith t he
same companies.
What to expect: The
council agenda calls for
the creation of an ad hoc
telecommunications com-
mittee t o address the
technical issues involved
in this negotiation. The
committee will deal with
questions such as cable
rates, high-t ech develop-
ments and Newport's
long-term t elecommunica-
t ions needs.
Learning to control ones ego) the hard way
E go will kill you if you
don't watch out.
I know. My ego
darned near got me killed.
ln 1972, I wrote a book
called "The Art or Body
Surfing.• Apparently, it
caught the eye or an editor
of Sports illustrated. Any-
way, just about the time my
book came out, I received a
call from a man who identi-
fied himself as a photogra-
pher from Sports illustrated.
He wanted to take some
pictures of me at The
Wedge because The Wedge
had been featured in my
book.
I could hardly wait to dri-
ve over to The Wedge.
Once upon a time, I was
a pretty good body surfer.
However, when l got this
call, the passage of ti.me
plus a misspent life had
weakened muscles, cut
down on the wind, slowed
the reflexes and, most
important, instilled in me a
genuine fear of big surf.
I was 61 years old and
spent most of my time on
the beach boring young
body surfers with endless
stories of the really big .surf
of the past. I'd been pretty
much of a Wedge regular
before World War II, when
it was simply called The
Point. However, I hadn't
surfed The Wedge for
years.
But ego is so powerful, I
couldn't resist.
So I went to The Wedge,
found the photographer,
identified myself, took one

look at the waves and
almost fainted. The surf was
really up, 10 to 12 feet. Still,
this was my chance to be
immortalized in Sports illus-
trated.

water, took three waves -

each of them seemingly 20
to 25 feet to me -someho.w
survived them and dragged
myself to shore.
My good friend and
Wedge regular. Kevin Egan,
was sitting on the sand. I
sat down beside him and
tried to get enough air into
my tortured lun~s to extend
my existence for the next
few minutes. While we sat
there, I noted the Sports
illustrated photographer
hopping around, taking pic-
tures.
"What are you doing?" 1
gasped.
"Taking your picture,• he

toward the ocean.
"Oh, I didn't take any
pictures of you out there. I
just wanted pictures of you
sitting on the beach talking
to a young body surfer of
the current generation.•
If I hadn't been so
exhausted I would have
tried to kill him.
So I did get my picture
in Sports Illustrated, but
the story behind that pic-
ture is that ego can near.Jy

Originally scheduled to open its
doors in September, the new cam-

and the start date was pushed
back to January, when students
return from winter break. The
t ime-consuming removal of large
boulders found on the site and a
delay in receiving windows were
two of several reasons given for
the delay.
Whitt to expect: The school
will still open in January, said Mike

instead of having time to spare, as
was expected, they will be cutting

North was referring to an
Orange County CoastKeeper

It's something that people,
including North, have tried
before. But a combination of
water pollution and El Nino
storms has, until recently, con-
spired to wipe out their efforts.
CoastKeeper's project. ongo-

And because the general

detennining the city's vision of

The vandals visited the
school sometime between
Wednesday night and Friday
afternoon.
According to police reports,
the vandals stole $100 from a
classroom. They also grabbed
a camera in a kindergarten
classroom, exposing and ruin-
ing film, police said.
Although school officials
said they are not sure how the
vandals gamed access lo the
rooms, police say somebody
likely stole a master key and
used it to get in.
The estimated cost or the
damages has not yet been
detenruned, officials said
Police said there are no sus-
pects. However, it appeared to
be the work of kids, said New-
port Beach Police Sgt. Steve
Shulman.
"It's hard to say for sure: he
said. "But vandahsm or this
kind happens periodlcally in
elementary schools."
At the end of the last school
year m June, there were sever-
al cases of reported vandahsm
-indudmg Newport Heights.
That incident involved
someone sticking a lighter
through a partially open win-
dow and igniting some paper
art decorations. There was no
damage done in that modent.
In another case the same
week, vandals heaved more
than a dozen bags or compost
into the shallow end of New-
port Harbor High's 50-meter
pool. Although there was no
permanent damage, the pool
was dosed for two days.
And at the private Carden
Hall School. someone climbed
onto the roof and unnated on
the prindpal's desk through an
open skylight.
Finally, at Corona del Mar
High School, a vandal sprayed
profanities on walls with gold
paint and knocked over large
trash bins.
Officials credited the inci-
dents to end-of-the-year
pranksters.
Despite those problems,
Hiland said vandalism and bur-
glary are unusual prqblems for
Newport Heights BementAJy.

Everyone &eemS to agree
that the old General Plan could
use some help.
It's too detailed in some
respects, said Planning Com-
m.lssioner Ed Selich, and too
Incoherent in other ways. The
different "elements• of the
plan -describing things like
traffic flow, safety, and other
issues -don't feel like they're
integrated into any harmo-
nious whole.
But should the new plAn set
out a striking new perspective
on city growth?
Arst seemed to think the
answer was dear.
Handling traffic, he told the
committee, needs to be a top

retain the parkland •as recre-

Tonight's meeting will

ty lines and to collect input
for creating a citywide
encroachment policy, Morris

P. Pham joined his high
hoot's mock trial last year, to be

tot1k the plunge to be a mock
attorney.
He wrote an essay about his experi-
ence, and has allowed me to share
some of tt with you.

·The defense calls Devon Taylor,

11 was as if Satan were calling my
name. 1 knew that it was my tum.
My heart started to beat like drums
at a rock concert. For some mysterious
reason, I could not activate my brain to
operate my feeble body.
My hands and ankles seemed to be
falling apart. As I looked around the
courtroom for help, my eyes were met
by unsympathetic stares from the par-
ents of the other team.
My teammates, who had no idea
what 1 was going through, urged me on
with admiring looks.
•There's no turning back now," 1 told
myself. With some unknown courage
found deep within myself, 1 got up and
walked gingerly to the witness chair.
The room is lull of silence and I have
to concentrate intenUy Jn hopes of giv-
ing my best performance. As I start
answering the lawyer's questions, to my
surprise, my hands are not shaking at
all, /and/ some Invisible force also ele-
vates my voice. making ii crystal dear. It
intrudes my brain, helping me brush oft
difficult quesUons from the other team's
lawyer. When the round of questioning
stopped, it took the judge to order me
off my witness chair, for I wanted to
answer more tough questions. I sudden-
ly become afraid of no one.
Along with getting to meet so many
amazirJgly nice people, the invisible force
that accompanied me in the witness chair
stuck with me, even to this day. It helps
me give speeches in class with no prob-
lem and gives me the courage to talk to
my teachers and counselors. Heck, 1

Finally, Clarence Turner's
comment that Measure S vol·

please share with us the num-

Meanwhile, a campaign of

al.so ludicrous to imply that all

So where do we go from
here?
• 1. Greenlight leaders would
welcome the opportunity to
consult with the City Council
and city staff to help interpret
and implement the details of a
law which would reflect the
spirit of Measure S.
2. Prior to the election,
members of the council used
their elected seats as bully pul·
pits, openly encouraging the
electorate to vote ageinst
Greenligbt. Both council and
staff are now obligated to do a
180 degree turn and •Usten• to
the voice of all of their con·
stituents, not just to the Irvine
Co., the chamber of commerce
and the dty employees'
unions. City Council actions,
not jUJt words, must r8flect the
views of the dtizem of New·
port Beach.
3. The developers must dis-
continue requests for general
plan amendments that violate
the tpirit of Greenligbt. Action,
not vague promilel, are need-
ed from the Irvine Co. and 0th-
.er developen.
•
It remain• to be teen u to
what d~ GN4tillight'•

game of the season at the Strawberry Bowl Saturday.

COSTA MESA
-There are many
reasons for the
unexpected success
of the Orange Coast
College football
team. But, perhaps the greatest
reason is the camaraderie and fel-
lowship among the players.
The Pirates (6-4), co-champions
of the Mission Conference Central
Division and headed to the Straw-
berry Bowl to (ace Cerritos Satur-
day, have lived true to their theme
of the season: •One heartbeat.·
The friendships on the team are
seen during practices and off the
held. Case in point, OCC's starting
linebackers, Martin Janzon, Dustin
Davis and Justin Blackard, have
such different characters, but they
get along as brothers. Janzon is
from Sweden, DaVlS is a local boy
from Mater Dei High and Blackard
is from Nevada. But, when seen
together off the field, it would seem
as if they grew up together.
The linebacker trio, the founda-
tion of OCC's defense, is just one
example of the Pirates' team unity,
a rarity in junior college football.
"What they did as a group in
making friends and trusting each
olber is so hard to get at a commu-
nity college,• OCC Coach Mike

Taylor said. ·A lot of times, it's very
sell-centered on this level. But, the
players here became mends. ff
At a time when friendships
could have ended. the one heart-
beat became stronger after OCC
scored just one touchdown m its
first three games.
The Puales' offense sputtered
and the defense played solidly, but
neither blamed the other.
With a game at ML San Antoruo
(No. 4 in the nation) next on the
schedule, the Bucs drew closer to
one another and relied on each
other to pull orr the upset as kicker
Rob Pate, who never played varsity
football in high school, booted a
33-yard field goaJ with one second
left for the 26-25 victory.
The win over the Mounbes not
only put OCC on the map. but
gave the Pirates hope. With offen-
sive playmakers Nick Higgs,
James Dawkins, Ben Fredrickson
and Justin Dale, they carried the
momentum to Pasadena the next
week and pulled off another upset
victory in tJu:il.lmg f astuon. And this
upset brought respect for the
Pirates.
Mt. SAC Coach Bill Fisk attend-
ed the game to see what Pasadena
would do against the Bucs.
"They're for real,• Fisk said that
night.
The following week, with confi-
dence brimming, OCC set a record
for most offensive yards in a game
with 628 in a 55-21 triumph over
rival Golden West.
The Pirates won back tbe Victo-
ry Bell, a trophy given to the win-

OCC's swagger continued with
yet another shocking victory, this
time a 21-17 decision over eventu-
al co-champion Palomar. The game
featured an offensive lineman,
Adam Fisher, scoring a touchdown
and Vince Strang ID catching the
game-winning pass while staring
into the sun.
The Pirates' fifth win of the sea-
son made for even more excite-
ment as OCC went three overtimes
with Santa Ana and finally won,
53-41. The Bucs converted two
touchdowns on fourth-down plays
in each of the last two overtimes
and the game didn't finish until
defensive end Greg Smith scored a

•Cinderella has nothing on Orange Coast's football and men's

A s 2000 draws to a close, the year
will be known for many events.
The Y2K bug, the Olympics in
Australia and the mayhem of the Al Gore
and George W. Bush presidential
election.
But for many at Orange Coast College
and Costa Mesa, 2000 will be known as
the Year of the Cinderella, because of
OCC's football and men's soccer teams.
This year may stand out because it could
be the start of two, dare I say, dynasties.
No matter what the teams do this
weekend -the Bucs will be in the
Strawberry Bowl at Cerritos and lhe
men's soccer team will be in the state
championships at West Hills College in
Coalinga -the Pll'ates have already
dazzled with memorable seasons that
have that storybook feel.
I interrupt this column for a reminder
note: It feels so good to be right.
Midway through the football
season, Steve Virgen predicted
the Bucs would win the
Mission Conference Central
Division title. And Steve
Virgen was right. So it was a
co-championship with Palomar.
We all know OCC beat the
Comets. Enough said.
things up. OCC had only scored one
touchdown in its first three losses.
But, that all changed quickly and the
Bucs went on a five-game winning streak
that included upset wins over Mt. SAC
and Palomar.
Oh yes, we will remember the Pirates.
And who will forget the 2000 men's
soccer team?
With its.third win in the playoffs
Tuesday, the men's soccer team matched
its win total from last season. The Pirates
(18-3-4) more than quintupled their wins
from last year (3-14-2).
There are underdog characters on
this team, too. Team captain Geno
Vitale-Sansosti conquered a drug
addiction three years ago, turned back
to bis love for soccer and has been an
inspiration for many.
And last season, OCC Coach Laird
Hayes made a coaclitng change
at midseason and gave the
majority of the duties to Kevin
Smith and Pat Callaghan.
Hayes, the humble man that
he is, gives all the credit to
Smith and Callaghan. Hayes
reminds everyone, he is just
OK. where were we? Glass

part of the success. The two
assistants and the Pirates are the
whole reason for the tum.around,
Hayes will say.
This was supposed to be a
rebuilding year for the Pirates,
a learning expertence fot two
first-year assistant coaches.
This year, the Pirates' football team
turned an 0-3 start into a 6-4 sea1<>n and
a trip to the Strawberry Bowl, OCC's first
bowl game since 1993. That was the la.st
time the Bucs had a winning season.
And there are so many underdog

Poly San Luis Obispo, and
Hayley Hapeman. a left-han-
der now at UC San Diego.
Vargas is hoping four
sophomores will step, three of
whom started last year.
Christina Hewko, Danielle
Carlson, and Daniela DiGia-
como return as starters, while
Vargas said he has been
impressed with Brittney
Bowlus.
Though the CIP playoff
experience is an important
motivational tool for the Sea
Kings, Vargas is not mention-

ing it much this early ln the
season.
"That. would be running
even befoie we start walk-
ing,• Vargas said. "There's
just been so much to do with
the boys in the playoffs. It's
been tough to deal with.•.
After directing the boys
~to a ClP Division ll title,
Vargas has been scrambling
to get the girls on schedule.
Usually, the Sea Kings list
and discuss academic and
athletic goals for the sea.son.
But, With the boys' playoff
run, Vargas has failed to sit
down with his girls team. He
hopes to deal with the goals
Monday. ·
And aside from the goals,
Vargas said he doesn't know
what to expect this early in
the season, more so than oth-
er years because of the team's
youth.
This year's team features
just two seruors, Lindsey
Daley and Malia Tarayao, on
the 15-player squad.
With the Sea Kings' first
game Wednesday at El Mod-
ena, Vargas expects to have
most of his questions
answered.
•we are young,• he said.
"They are working hard right
now in practices. We'll see
how they react to the game.•

SAILORS THINKING
ONE .STEP .AT A TIME .~
.. ... .. .. .. • ..
Newport Harbor is
focusing on the Sea
View title, for starters.

NEWPORT BEACH -
The beauty of the upcoming
season for the Newport Har-
bor High girls water polo
team is that it's a new year, a
chance to make everyone for-
get that first-round exit in the
CIP Southern Section Divi-
sion I playoffs.
"It's a new season,• Sailors
Co-coach Bill Barnett said.
•vou can't worry about what
happened last season. Our
focus this year is mainly win-
ning league to start with.
Once we get to CIP, that will
take care of itself.•
Last year, Capistrano Val-
ley ended the Sailors hopes of
repeating as CIP champions,
1-6, as Harbor w,ent O-for-6 on
man-up opportunities.
This season, the Sailors
will look to get back to the
playoffs with their core of
returni.J)g starters: Katherine
Belden, Erin Ball, Erin Kelly
Bates, Jenna Murphy and
goalie Heather Deyden.
Belden and Deyden, a sec-
ond-team All-Sea View
League performer last year,
are two-year starters.
•(Belden) brings us a lot of
experience,• Barnett said of
the returning second-team
All-CIF selection. •Hopefully,
she brings some leadership.•
Murphy is suffering from an
injured shoulder at the
moment and Barnett called
that a tough loss because she is
a left-bander. He is npt sure
when she will be ready to plaY,
A great deal of the Sailor$
success will depend on th~
newcomers. Witp Kyndr'
Cox. a first-team All-CIP two+
meter player, playing at ud
Berkeley, Barnett ls hoping
sophomore Jenna Booth wi.1)
step in. :
"She's got to fill Kyndra'•
shoes,• Barnett said of
Booth's role this year. J
Sophomores Annie Wight
and Paige Lansing were o~
the 24-0 frosh/soph team l~
year. Both will try to erase the
varsity's memory of last year
and bring some consistency.
Barnett said last year was 61)
up and down season.
The Sailors will look to
improve this season witli
leadership stemming from
nine seniors, Deyden, Ball!
Bates, Booth, Caitlin Adamt,
Polly Dolkas, Elizabeth Don-
ald, Emily Glassic and Casey
Hill. Harbor will be balanced
with youthful talent Jessica
Ball, a freshman.
The Sailors will begin
pr~paring for their Sea View
League title quest Dec. 1
against nonleague visitot
Long Beach Wilson.
