V PllOT Broken pipeline spills sewage into Upper Newport Bay • More than 250,000 gallons of waste water leak into San Diego Creek from pipe maintained by Irvine Ranch Water District. Paul Clinton DAILY PILOT UPPER NEWPORT BAY -Water treatment officials scrambled Friday to clean up more than 250,000 gal- lons of partially treated sewage after it spilled into San Diego Creek. By 3:15 a.m. Fnday, workers bad contained the spill. which occurred at 5:15 p.m. Thursday, an Irvine Ranch "We had a hard time locating the pipeline because it's not on our maps." Joyce ::r- lrvine Ranch Water District spokeswoman Water District spokeswoman said. The sewage spill was the result of a break in a 12-incb. tar-covered water district irrigation pipe, which was laid in the 1940s to draw creek water to a duck hunting area. In the wake of the spill. the Orange County Health Care Agency closed a 2.5-mile section of the bay, from Jamboree Road to North Star Beach. The closure, put into place at 8: 15 a.m. Friday, will stay in effect for at least 7 2 hours while agency oft'dals take water samples to determine if the waste water has been removed. Irvine Ranch Water District spokeswoman Joyoe Wegner-Gwidt said treatment plant workers bad contained the spill by pumping the waste water back into storage basins. •we had a hard time locating the pipeline because it'• not on our maps,• Weg:ner-Gwidt sa1d.

It's been given to me by family and close -WNllMI James OndyTrone Christeson THEMORAl OF THE STORY friends, as well as by total strangers. Likewise it is something you can give to loved ones or people whose names you don't even know. It's a gift that is appropriate any time of year, but many people could really use it now. The cost is minimal, but the rewards are great. Actually, you won't always know what the rewards are, but I guarantee they far sur- pass any slight cost of time or inconvenience. The gift I'm talking about is the gift of appreciation. If we all understood the posi- tive power that can come from it, I think we would all be giving and receiving it much more frequently. It's a fun gift that is often contagious and can spread far and wide. I saw this gift spread among a number of people two weeks ago. It was three days before Thanksgiving, but the market felt more like the night before Christmas. I think everybody who wanted to beat the rush arrived the same time I did. The aisles were crowded, the lines were long, and there were frequent announce- ments asking all cashiers to come up front. It looked like freeway gridlock. I could hear people grumbling around me. I was probably about to mumble myself when it seemed like God told me to look at the cashier in my line. Even from a distance, I could see her smiling and talkiDg to cus- tomers. I was impressed that she was so chipper because she must have been tired of long lines and impatient shoppers. When I finally started unloading my cart, my cashier asked the cashier behind me, ·Are you leaving town for the holidays?" •Are you kidding? I already have,• was her response. Everybody nearby laughed and many joined in. "When do you think you'll be back?" I asked. •I'm not sure just yet, but judging from how I feel today, I think it will be quite some time,• she answered. I realized that the cashiers probably all would have preferred to be on the other side of the counter and headed home. Several of us must have thought the same thing. "We all appreciate what you dolor us,• I said to my cashier and the one behind me. •And I appreciate your positive attitude and sense of humor,• said the next customer in line. "Most everyone who comes here is pretty friendly, but today bas been tough,• my cashier said.

Do ily Pilot teaving the pulpit Gary Barmore and Conrad N ordquist will step down as leaders of Fairview Community Church and St. John the Dlvine YoungOteng DAILY PllOT T he Rev. Gary Barmore and Conrad Nordquist have gotten to know the Costa Mesa community in ways few people have. For more than 20 years, both have touched the lives as leaders of their respective con- gregations. They have bap- tized babies and performed their marriage ceremonies when they got older. 11\ey have preached more than 1,000 sermons each and have admired one another as col- leagues and friends. On Dec. 31, both men will retire from their full-time min- istries -Barmore from 25 years at Fairview Community Church; Nordquist from 23 years at St. John the Divine Episcopal Church. The New- port-Mesa Irvine Interfaith Council, which both have been involved in, will honor them at a board of directors brunch Dec. 14. But neither reverend plans to stop serving God. ·1 expect to be a minister of the good news all of my We,• said Barmore, who spent the last quarter century with Fairview Community Church, an open-minded ministry that combines the traditional bibli- cal faith with modem thinking. Barmore can't bookmark the day be became a Christ- ian. Some remember a day, month and year, he said. But for this reverend, it happened at the age of 16 in Compton, where he grew up. That year, he began to understand the Christian faith was not just "one club of many,• but the foundation of his life. Th.is is how Chrl.stianity should be, in his opinion: something that each person enters into personally. The faith should also be about servanthood. •That is, being the pres- ence of Christ in the world to help as much as possible,• Barmore said'. •rm strongly convinced Jesus was seek- ing to bring together an inclusive community of peo- ple to worship, fellowship and serve God, as opposed to Faith CALENDAR SPn'ZTALK SEAN HIU.Eft I OAJl.Y PILOT Gary Barmore, m1nister at Falrvtew Community Church, left,· and Conrad Nordquist of SL John the Divine Epltcopal Church. ln Costa Mesa. both plan to retire from their church duties.

Last year, he publicly announced his stance on the issue of gay-straight alliance clubs. A letter Barmore wrote to the Daily Pilot criticized · bow some Christians want to prevent the organization of such organizations. · ln J uly, he gave a seven- week series of sermons on non-violence at Fairview Community Church. •Making peace begins at home in the ways we treat one another even in our fam- ilies," Barmore said. •And it goes all the way to the way we treat other nations." He said people have asked him why he's retiring now, when the 59-year old still has plenty of energy left •I'm going to run .as bard as I can my leg of the race until I pass the baton,• Bar- more said. Nordquist bas a similar reason for "retiring. "I'm 67 and ready to explore new opportunities in the church,· be said. He would like to serve small congregations in the Southwest as an interim cler- gy. The reverend plans to move from Costa Mesa, but he's not yet sure where. What Nordquist will miss most is bow active his church bas been. Members have worked on projects involving low- income housing, the develop- ment of the Orange Coast Interfaith Shelter and justice for the faculty and staff of the Coast College District. ·All these things have I1)eant a lot to me,· Nordquist said. He is also the vice presi- dent of the Interfaith Council. His efforts with the group date back to the 1970s. "I like the idea of people of faith working together, that we share more in com- mon than we are dUferent from one another,· he said. •Jt certainly enriched my spiritual We to learn from getting to know people of other faith traditions.• Nordquist said there is nothing be will not miss about bis service a t St. John. •Even doing the plumbing repairs bas been gratifying in some way," Nordq'U.ist said. Leaders at St. John are searching for a new rev- erend. Richard Dorsey, senior warden at the church, said numerous •good candidates" will be considered.. but no one can replace Father Con -short for Conrad. •He is loved and respect- ed by his congregation, and I think he's somebody whose presence will always be - there, in the spiritual sense,• Dorsey said. At Fairview, the Rev. Joyce Smith, who is a leader at the church with Barmore, and interim minister the Rev. John Townsend will head the congregation starting in Jan· uary. "Of course, the church will be going through a time of transition, but I look forward to that being an exciting time and a creative time for the church as well,• Smith said.

'-""tf•r Kho DAJt.Y PILOT · COSTA MESA -While the city's code enforcement officials have been working vigorously to address a boom of complaints (lbout property maintenance violations, some residents say the enforcement has been dealt unevenly. "I got a violation notice for one thing and, even tliough I had fixed those problems, (a) code enforcement officer ... gave me a citation for some- thing else," Joe Grisham said. "That's just not fair. The code enforcement officers are getting into really nit-picky things like the size of the numbers on our houses while ignoring the really grievous violations out there.• Grisham is one of a num- ber of Mesa Del Mar resi- dents who say they feel bul- lied by new property mainte- nance codes and their enforcement. City staff said the city is not required to issue warn- ings before filing citations. Code enforcement officer Mitt Seely explained that because the codes are new and because there arert't e nough officers, the Code Enforcement Department bas not yet been able to address problems at every home but does address com- plaints first. The new property mainte- nance codes went into effect in August, and supporters and opponents of the code revisions have spoken strongly about the new rules since a brochure explaining them was distributed in Sep- tember. Cindy Ronquillo, a Free- dom Homes resident, said she th.inks the results so far have been fantastic. "I've seen the neighbor- hood constantly improving. and I think it adds to the feel- ing of pride,• she said. "And hopefully, the enhanced pride will get more people to improve their properties. I'm always happy to see our neighborhoo.d going in a pos- itive direction, which I think this is doing.• Mary Fewel, ·a Canyon Park resident, agreed that the enforcement of the "little things" in the codes have made a difference in her neighborhood. "Some of my neighbors who have had dead grass for months have just put in sprinklers,• she said. ·People are starting to do all the little things that other people do notice every day. Often you drive up to your home, go . . inside and don 't pay atten- tion to those things. But now people are seeing they do need to do something and that it does make a differ- ence.• But Wayne Anderson, a · Mesa Del Mar resident who received a violation notice for having a trailer partly on his front lawn, said he resented being denied a request for a few days to move the trailer. •1 was trying to replace the wood in the bed and only needed a few days, but la code enforcement officer] said l would be fined if I didn't move the trailer immediately,· he said. "There was no com- promising with the man. We're not talking about mur- der here, we're talking about a trailer with two wheels on my lawn for a few days. Any- body should have reasonable time to fix things. I have no quarrel with wh at he clid, which was legitimate. But I very much resent the arrogant attitude be did it with." Hundreds of people are expected at Peninsula Park on Sunday night for a can- dlelight vigil honoring their children. The event is part of a daylong. worldwide event held by The Compassionate Priends, a support group for families grieving the death of a child. *Our hope is that through this combined act, people will realize that they are not alone and that their child, grandchild or sibling is remembered dur- ing the difficult holiday season," said Pat Loder. the FOR THE RECORD An artide Friday head- lined "Pulling up roots• incorrectly·reported the find- mgs of arborist Alden Kelley Tbe event will begin in New Zealand at 1 p m . their time.

Blauer said that dwing the off·season. which runs from Labor Day to the first week of summer scbool vacations, life- guards typically patrol the beaches twice a day. "They would at that point be looking for dangerous areas and large concentra- tions of people,• he said. Lifeguards also monitor beach activity and surf from their headquarters, Blauer said. He added that the instaDa- tion ot video cameras at life- guard headquarters by a surf. ing Web site and the life- guard's ability to view the beach through other Internet companies' cameras would allow them to determine more quickly If additional staff might be needed on a particular day. As far as preventing drownings, the cameras prob- ably won't make a big differ- ence, Blauer said. "It only takes moments to slip under water,• he said.

D.nette Goulet DAILY PILOT CORONA DEL MAR -When the clock struck noon Friday, silence settled over Harbor View Elementary School as each bead - big and little -bent to read books for 2,001 seconds. One of the only sounds that could be heard for those 33 minutes and 21 seconds was the laughter of the office staff as Principal Karen Kendall read holiday stories aloud. At the request of a group of fifth- grade math students, the entire school participated in a worldwide read-a-thon. · "It's a way to promote reading and literacy,• said Linda Wawra, whose students read about the event in a scholastic math maga- zine and asked if they could partic- ipate. •1t•s like a wave because of the time zones," said Tamara Parks, 10, explaining that everyone was to start reading at noon. ·so first New York will read, then us, then Hawaii -all around the world.· The wave concept fascinated many of the students but each had his or her own reasons for enjoying Fifth-grader Nick Mohler checks his w atch as Tamara Parks, left, and Tiffanie Patttam read ln the background for a read-a-thon, the event. "It's really fun," said Robbie Ogorek, 11. "It's a good chance to finish some books,• chimed in his friend Andrew Halladay. •Especially since my dad said he'd buy me something when I fin· ished this book,• Robbie said. •And we finally get to bring our sleeping bags in."

Stude nts' excitement had been building for weeks as they formed committees lo promote the read-a- thon. • 1n our math class, we got to make banners and posters and bookmarks,· Tamara said . The bookmarks were a contest, Wawra said. Six winners were cho- sen, and their bookmarks were laminated and passed out to every student. Apparently the event was suc- cessful in getting students excited about reading because students thought it was the greatest thing to be able to read the books of their choice for a whole 33 minutes. "It's cool because we usually just have 30 minutes to read -and because it's a new millennium we get to read for exactly 2,001 seconds,• said Hannah Solow, 10.

' • • Daily Pilot Saturday, December 9, 2000 A7 Don 't forget the fun factor during the holidays A s you pull the Christmas decorations out of hiberna- tion, think about spicing up your traditional holiday theme with something different, some- thing whimsical and something fun. 'n'adition and Christmas go together like a hand and glove, so I'm not suggesting that you aban- don your usual holiday layout. Just add a few twists and conversation pieces to your customs. Last year, as I was decorating the kitchen with my usual garland, cinnamon sticks, pine cones and apples, I decided that it was time to get out of the box and do some- thing different. Karen Wight NO PLACE LIKE HOME was fun, different and amusing. The kids thought I had lost my mind (which is possible), but it was a great kitchen theme: "takeout." HOLIDAY TIP OF THE WEii Add • few extra holiday touches to 1he home: • Layer holiday towels over regular guest t owels in the powder roorp. • Group three poinsettias around the base of a pedestal sink in the bathroom. • Fill a crystal bowl with gold and silver globes. • Use pine-scented spray in all rooms of the house. • Combine apple juice and pumpkin pie spices in a saucepan on the stove and simmer. The smell is very welcoming. I had ordered some great Chi- nese fans from Oriental nading Co. that were a fabulous bright red. Originally intended to be goody- bag gifts for my youngest daughter, these fans were just too cool to give away. The fans were shocking red and had touches of gold with black cal- ligraphy. They were inexpensive and I had ordered quite a few. They became the new theme for the kitchen. I liked it so much that I went a step further. I used clean takeout boxes as gift boxes, bung those lit- tle soy sauce packets -the silver and red ones -carefully pierced at the top with an ornament hook from a few branches and added a few bundles of natural bamboo sticks to the tree. We put a Chinese face on our Christmas last year. includes painting the walls in one of the bathrooms with black chalk- board paint and letting the kids draw their version of Christmas on chalkboard walls. SEAN HUER I DAU' Pl.OT A Chinese takeout theme adds an amusing twist to kitchen decoraUons. As I studied my •resources,• I realized that I had accumulated quite a few sets of chopsticks - leftovers from the Chinese takeout. I thought these would look great spray-painted gold and glued together to form an ·x: Not abandoning tradition alto- gether, I also used some gold and silver balls with wire attachments to add lo the garland that sits on top of the kitchen cabinets. If I say so myself, the outcome Adding a new color to your usu- al red and green decorations i5 another way to add a little sparkle. One year I went all-out with purple. I added purple balls to our assortment of gold, silver, red and green, and it gave the tree a face lift. I always like to incorporate a "theme• into the gift wrapping as well, so purple ribbon was added to the usual selection. Purple candles were added to the tables an.d pur- ple hand towels to the powder room. I was on a roll. This year, my Christmas "twist" Each child came up with a dif- ferent emphasis. My son has a s paceship thing going on, the youngest drew a Christmas tree and my teenager focused on pre- sents. Was that predictable or what? I have added a "naughty" and "nice" list. Everyone checks his or her status daily. As I have been mall-trolling this season, I have noticed quite a few great "themes" that would be fun to add to the usual holiday fare. If you don't want to give up your traditional Christmas tree with all of the kids' ornaments, think about adding a smaller tree in the family room, the kitchen or the kids' rooms. A "tropical paradise" tree can be decorated with artificial orchids, birds of paradise and leis. Strands of lighted hibiscus, fish or tiki men add a glowing touch.

Those very groups - along with Freed, Laguna Beach Councilwoman Toni Iseman and state officials - came together in late November to begin hashing out the alternative proposal. Environmentalists must raise about $35 million to fund the renovation or the 46 cottages, which were placed on the National Reg- ister of Historic Places in 1979. That same year, Irvine Co. sold the 3.4-mile beach- front to the state's Depart- ment of Parks and Recre- ation for $32 million. The state, through the California Costal Commis- sion, must approve dny pro- ject. "It's really difficult to rdise those kind of funds these days,· stale parks spokesman Roy Stearns said. "It's a lot of money.· The state has scheduled a public information meeting Jan. 18 for the Freed project now on the books.

Newport Beach Deputy City Manager Dave }(jff was skeptical the project would M feasible at that price level. "U they want low-cost accommodations, it should be a campground,• Kitt said. Under either proposal, the residents of the cottages would be forced <*t of their quaint, seaside homes.

But today be remembers not the shoes but how special it was for his family to give them to him. Giving is good for the soul. Giving of ourselves reminds us that we are all blessed in some way and that we can all do even a lit- tle bit to help tlfose who are less fortunate. In our lives, our best memories will not be about what we have received but what we have given. It is important that chtl- dren see at an early age that we all have an obligation to leave the world a better place than the way we found it. Giving helps do that, even if it's watching you write a check. This year, I hope you will pull your childre n into whatever giving it is you do. The children in the twin cities who must rely on chari- ty and do with less do not suffer their fate by choice. We must all continue to give them hope and help them understand the power they have to change their own lives. One of the best proVlders of hope and power for chtl- dren is Orange Coast lnter- f aith Shelter in Costa Mesa. Year after year, the orga- nization takes m families, trains the parents and gives the kids hope. Thanks to the shelter, there are fewer par- SPILL CONTINUED FROM A 1 scape imgation and other commercial and industrial uses in Newport Beach and Irvine.

The annual Childhelp USA holiday event at the Hyatt Regency in Irvine attracted more than 700 guests, who experienced •Christmas Though the Eyes of a Cb.lld.• Chaired by Julie Whlt- Ungton, the ever-popular ,vent this week began with f little Chrisbnas shopping, as guests browsed through &n enormous makeshift shopping ring set up by ven- dors in, around and outside the enormous ballroom. A portion of the shopping proceeds combined with the event ticket sales adds up to significant financial assis- tance for Childhelp USA Vll- lage in Beaumont. In the crowd was Jack Belcher, director of the vil- lage. •nie energy and the devotion of the Orange County supporters of Child- belp USA is remarkable,• ~d Belcher, who assumed his post some 14 months ago after being transferred from his East Coast roots. •Tue people here today make a very tangible differ- ~nce for the duldren. Nearly ~1 million each year is raised through events such as this, and I can assure you that these funds make the pifference in the lives of the children. , ·without this support, we would have no enrichment programs at the village.

"We give them the gifts to let them know just how much they are loved and valued as human beings. And we hope that they, in some small way, realize the value-added dimension that the gifts bring to each of them.• Another major Childhelp USA supporter who echoed Belcher's sentiments was John CoWns, director of com- munity programs for Child- help, which operates local group homes in Costa Mesa. "It is often difficult under certain circwnstances to pro- vide a loving home for chil- dren who have come to us from tragic be9innings, • said Collins, who is a member of the Fountam Valley City Council. "It takes a great deal of dedicated mvolvement from many sectors to create a fam- ily atmosphere in a group home, where positive change can be accomplished.• He said in most cases the group homes are succeeding.

The king of karaoke, wbp bills himseU as "That 70s Guy• for his Friday and Sat- urday night ho~g gig at Kona Lanes on Harbor Boulevard, has the look of the parody prince. Maybe it's the long, curly hair. Maybe it's the way he dresses for his show and uses strange props like ballet tutus and bats. Or maybe it's just that he's been practicing being Weird Al ever since his tum on the televi- sion show Jennaer Mahal INntEWINGS ·vour Big Break." The show, which was shot in August. airs at 5 tonight on KCOP Channel 13. The premise of ·vour Big Break" is to take amateur singers who sound like stars, provide them with professional hair, make-up, costwning ... etc, and pit them against one another in a talent competi- tion for prize money. SEAN Hill.ER I DAll.Y PILOT From left, Quenby Hersh, Christina Fulcher and Willa Bouwens-Kllleen will dance this weekend in "The Nutcracker" at Orange Coast College. Kevin will perform "Eat It,• a Weird Al take on Michael Jackson's •Beat it." It was the auditions for "Your Big Break" that got the 34-year-old Costa Mesa resident started with his impersonation. A Tchaik(Jl)sky . tradition Costa Mesa city planner Willa Bouwens-Kille~n dances once again in 'The Nutcracker' at OCC His girUriend, Cid Strick- ler, was planning to audition for the show as Grace Slick and encouraged Kevin go as the comic musician. "On a lark, I went to the audition,• he said. "The first time I performed like Weird Al was at the audition. I per- formed •Like a Surgeon."

COMMUNITY Daily Pilot EDITORIAL Controversy did not need to light up P Jain and simple: It's an idea of which we take a dim view. When Newport-Mesa's school board president, Dana Black, ordered strings of holiday lights removed from Mariners Elementary School this week, she made a mistake, even if the reason for it is laudable. Certainly, no religious Christmas decorations should be bung on public property. But there is a difference between laying out a manger scene, for instance, and stringing up a row of white lights. The first clearly is unacceptable. But the second? Numerous Jewish leaders had no problem with the display, noting that Hanukkah is the Festival of Lights. And laws allow secular decorations, including white lights, on public buildings. Still, Rabbi Mark S. Miller of Newport Beach's Temple Bat Yam -one of the few who supported Black's action -was cor- rect when he said Christians need to realize that not all their , neighbors or schoolmates share their religious beliefs. We understand and respect his concern, but that could hardly be contained at the schoolroom door. In the days and weeks leading up to Dec. 25, it's impossible to go to a shopping mall without being bombarded by Santas and Christmas music. While this is understandably difficult for non-Christians, tam- pering with this is tantamount to changing the other cultural institutions, such as the Fourth of July and Thanksgiving, that Americans hold dear. Black was right in recognizing the nghts of those non-Chris- tians, and for that we applaud her. But in trying to be sensitive to it, she forgot to consider the feelings of the parents who put up the lights and the students who liked having a festive accent added to their school. In fact, Mariners parents are complaining that their efforts to make Improvements at the school are going unrewarded and unwanted. That's a sentiment that, left unaddressed by the board, could fester into a major problem. This episode still could be salvaged. It provides a tangible starting point to discuss where religious beliefs differ and why. While that may not be a simple topic for our schools to address. it would be worth the effort and the time to try. And in the end, coming to a better understanding of our differences -and where we fundamentally agree -would be a welcome holiday gilt for us all.

Wedge-full of mem ories By Kevin Egan I awoke one recent morning to a number of phone calls informing me that I was mentioned in Judge Robert Gardner's column in CO .... UNITY the Daily Pilot. """' The call from COMMENTARY my brother, or. Bob Egan of New- port Beach, was one of the most interesting. •When will it ever endr be said. "It has been going on for years," as if I was the source of a story about me. I assured him, I am not cunenUy doing any self-promotion. Because I fell in love with a beautiful beach with unusually large waves and attempted to ride them, I have been mentioned in books, magazines, newspapers, on television and in var- ious other forums over the years. I enjoyed every second of my time at The Wedge and only hope I gave the place and the waves their just due. I am 54 now and fast approaching that point in life where someone will want my picture on the beach with a member of the current young gener- ation of bodysurfers at The Wedge. instead of riding a wave. There is more than one generation of young bodysurfers at The Wedge, and they know who they are. They are a group of dedicated, talented bodysurfers still trying to conquer the unconquerable, search- ing for the wave of a lifetime. Their talents go beyond riding waves and hangmg out al the beach, and their dedication to Tue Wedge goes fur- ther than surfing. They are a ubiqw- tous group of highly successful mdi- viduals. Businessmen, entrepreneurs, artists, pilots, lawyers, scientists, tecbies and others brought together by the common thread of a love of bodysurfing and The Wedge. They are dedicated to preserving the history, legends, and the integrity of the sport and access to the beach they love. There isn't a sign at The Wedge proclaiming it, but they take the responsibility of helping maintain a clean and orderly beach. I always enjoy Judge Gardner's columns, especially when I am men- tioned. His columns often bring to mind great old mernones of people, places, events and a ctifferent time in Orange County. It was a time when hot offshore wind blew into giant mountains of dean water pushing their way along the jetty, forming into crystal blue, white-crested liquid excitement for those willing to accept the challenge. It was a time when after an exhausting day riding waves you could go to the old Chart House or ancient Mariner's restaurants. or Woody's, Sid's or any number of places where you would know your server and could fill your stomach with top sirloin. lobster, stroganoff or great Mexican food for under $4 and have enough in your pocket for a cocktail at the bar with your favorite bartender or Blackie's big beer on the way home Pray for surf and above all ...

Richard Dunn DAllY PILOT COSTA MESA -While lhe year 2000 will be remembered for an end.less election and a false-alarm computer bug, it will also go down in local football lore as the 1-yard Line Too Close To Call. Not once, but twice Friday night, Newport Harbor High's offense was burned at the preferred spot just outside the goal line. From the 1-yard line, it's supposed to be a short jaunt to paydirt. But, for the Sailors, it was Death Valley against Irvine in the CIF Southern Section Division VI championship game, won by the Vaqueros, 14-0, before an estimated 8,000 fans at Orange Coast College. In the second quarter, there was a game-turning play that will probably wear out the Newport Har- bor coaches' VCR in the offseason. Did the ground cause a fumble, or not? The officials said no. And Irvine linebacker Zach Taylor scooped up a Harbor fumble in the end zone, after the Sailors fumbled at the Vaqueros' 1-yard line. In the fourth quarter, with Newport Harbor dri- ving, Irvine safety Joe Bollard intercepted a pass at the 1-yard line and returned lt 45 yards, icing the victory for lrvtne (14--0) and capping a perfect sea- son.

Then, when Garrett lToncale sacked Irvine quarterback Travis Otott, forcing a fumble Harbor's Ian Banigan swallowed up at the Irvine 39, the Vaqs bowed but didn't break. A Harbor receiver was spun down while trying to drag a defender into the end zone, and the ball came out as the Sailor bit the ground at the 1.

Doily Pilot SPORTS Saturday, Decemb. 9, 2000 83 SHADES O F OREGON Craig Phoenix rekindles memories. Fond memories of Oregon from 50 years ago return with news banners waving over the two major college football teams in the state this year. The Oregon ~tate Beavers won the "Civil war· contest against Oregon at Corvallis. It ls fair to say that one colorful touch of Oregon arrived for a brief visit recently, featuring Craig and Paula Phoenix of Shady Cove, Ore. Phoenix, a '37 Harbor High graduate, was a county tennis star during prep days. He also played football and basketball. His recent visit came with the 60th reunion for a number of classes through the 30s and early 40s, • including director Sparks McClelland of Newport. Although two of the four legendary Sheflins, Harold and Bob, of Harbor High football, have passed on, two of the brothers, Bill dnd Frank, have settled in southern Oregon. tricky in the open field. Trouble is, he was only 5-foot. It bothered some of us since we felt like giant rivals would crush him easily. Stackhouse had thought about that and desigried quick-opening plays for Onsuka, all on the sidelines, where he could catch a fast pass, then sprint out of bounds if he sensed impact coming from big defensive players. He never got hurt. He was smart. In one of the major games against powerful Lewis and Clark College, the team exerted a major effort to stop an ace runner named Reuben Banisch. Defensive back Bill Jewel played long and hard, but the coach finally called him to the bench for a needed rest. He was pleased that he had consistently stopped Baisch. However, once he was on the bench, Baisch broke loose and headed for the end zone. Jewel couldn't handle the shock and immediately streaked off the bench to nab the break-away runner at midfield. Bill did advance to Santa Ana Junior College fo r footbdll while Frank transferred to Fullerton College for two years of football in the early 40s. Bill ended his career in Don Contrell SIDELINES The son of a minister, Jewel quickly realized the error of his ways and quickly apologized. The referee quickly put his arms in the mid-40s. Bill ended his career in the mid-40s after a World War II hitch in the Navy. This comer enjoyed the grid season of '50 • at Willamette University in Salem, Ore. playing on three tedms, frosh, junior varsity and varsity. He favored Willamette smce the coach and president were kind and fnendly. It was also favored because three former Harbor High varsity gridders -Buzz C hambers, Bill Peyton and Earl Killefer -had enrolled in the fall or 1947. The Willamette coach, Chester Stackhouse, was an mnovdbve gentleman and often had his wife. daughter and son, join him for an cverung wallung down Salem streets. At points, he would tn1X them up and prompt them to walk through plays he had invented. Some years later, we discovered his photo and a story in a major sports mdgazine highlighting his creallve side. The primary angle on the feature dealt with his efforts to advance his three-man lme concept at a small university. The idea didn't draw much attention Initially, but it did subsequently with small • colleges and, m time. the pros. [ He recruited and encouraged players of 1 all sizes to play ball at Willamette. The one t that astonished most of us on the '50 varsity ~ was a young player named Ralph Onsu.ka from Hawaii. He was sWl.ft and extremely motion sigrialing a touchdown, which, no doubt, prevented the Lewis and Clark crowd from storming the field in anger. Another event that created quite a commotion was an evening when the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity gathered to sing in the back of the old sorority house. A gridder plarmed to climb up to the second-story balcony so he could "pin" his girllriend, which is simllar to an engagement. And the male group would open wtth a grand period of singing. Unfortunately, repdlfS were needed up and down the ent.ire lattice work. Hence, it wasn't long before it npped and sent tum flymg down into a yard of bushes. He was uninjured, but the scenario led to tus fraternity friends t.rymg desperately not to laugh. One bright local scene was open to d few of us early m the fall dt Klamath Falls in southern Oregon. We learned that former Harbor High end Dwayne Wells was at Corvallis attending Oregon State University and welcomed to join him for an auto ride south, where Orange Coast College was slated to play Klamath Falls College. This was a special tnp since it meant we could visit old Newport mates on the OCC team like fullback Bob Berry, halfback Harlow Richardson, tackle Ed Mayer and center Keith Bwch. And it ended like a Hollywood hni.sh when Bucs tailback Howard Del Miller broke loose from the spread and rdffibled for a winning score. it's d team Uung.• • • DAY sfiARoNDAY It's her Mustang teammates which Day gives the credit to her jolt of offense.

NEWPORT BEACH - 1his year's Newport Harbor High girls soccer team brings more experience to the table than last years 2· 12-2 squad. That's quite an amazing statement considering that the number of sophomores on the team doubles the number of seniors. Four of those sopho- mores, Tricia Orth, Amy . Burlingham, Taryn F14mson and Kate Younglove, were all members of last year's varsity team and all look to bring a novel of learning experience to this year's team. "The team is a year old- er,· Newport Coach Jason Sorrell said. •Our freshmen from last year have matured and everyone is playing real well." Burlingham is just one of the young weapons on Sor· rell's team that will be asked to pick up a big chunk of the Sailors' offense. In just three games this season, Burlingham has already netted four goals and Newport (2-1) has already equaled last year's win total. Glrls soccer omooK~ OESAILOIS • Sorrell is also looking for Younglove and senior Satya Twena to supply the remaining offensive spark for Newport. •All three girls have-the potential to put a ton of goals into the nets for us,• Sorrell said. Behind those three, Newport will rely on Flam· son and junior Tory Man- chester to use their ball· handling abilities to set up Newport's snipers.

SAllORS CONTINUED FROM B 1 "Stuff just doesn't go your way sometimes,• said Newport Harbor quarterback Morgan Craig, who completed 17 of 31 passes for 163 yards and two interceptions. In a scoreless game, Newport Harbor took possession early in the second quarter after a sack and forced fumble by Garrett 'ltoncale and fumble recovery by Jan Banigan, giving the Sailors field position at the Irvine 39. But, on Newp0rt's seventh play of its ensuing series, Craig connected with senior Andy Rankin. But, after catching the pass, the ball bounced out at the 1-yard line as Rankin met the turf. Newport coaches vehe- mently argued, but the officials allowed Irvine to take over at the 20 following a fumble recov- ery. Or did the ground cause the fumble? Three plays later, Irvine scored on a 17-yard touchdown pass. ·we go from almost scoring a touchdown to giving up a touchdown,• Rankin said. •All I can tell you (on the fumble) is --------that it ..,We go from almost scoring a touchdown to giving up a touchdown ... " Andy Rankin Newport Harbor senior tight end w a s close. 1 thought I w a s down, but I guess the refere e didn't see it tha t way. It was a big --------m omen- t u m swing.· The same play worked earli- er in the game, when Craig found Rankin on a 9-yard pass after a fake to run. But this time · it didn't work an"· the ball popped loose. Apparently, before Rankin hit the ground. "I was following the play from the back side and saw the ball come loose,• Taylor said. "I just got lucky to get the (fum- ble)." The momentum swing was huge. · Because, on Irvine's long scoring pass to Eric Patton, the Vaqueros went ahead, 6·0. Newport Harbor felt Patton pushed off on the play to break free and reach the end zone with 5:45 left. . "The guy pushed off down there,• Rankin said. •That play should have been brought back. "But we made some critical errors.• The 1-yard line was no friend to Newport Harbor again in the fourth quarter. . ·we came out and just put it all out on the line for this game tonight," Bollard said. ·we weren't really in our offense in the first half, but our defense stepped it up. Our defensive line put a lot of pressure on (the Tars) all night It's a great win for us.· Irvine's defense held New- port Harbor tailback Chris Manderino to 73 rushing yards on 24 carries, and, of course, kept the Sailors out of the end zone. "They've got a really good defense and they played really well tonight," Craig said. 5eof'e by Quwtln !Nine 0 7 7 0 . 14 Newport Harbor 0 0 0 0 • 0 SecDnd QwldlM' Irv • Patton 17 pass from 0tott (Ooomey k~. 5:45. . 11'irtl~ Irv • Doomey 15 pess from Otott (Ooomev kkk), 9:14.

Saturday, December 9, 2000 &; DON LEACH I OAJLY PILOT Newport Harbor's Andy Rankin latches on to a pass for a short gain In the first half of the Tars' title game with Irvine. TARS · CONTINUED FROM 81 next offensive series, but no harm was done on the scoreboard. Irvine, as it did in its 19-14 Sea View League win over the Tars Oct. i3, got a big return on the second-half kickoff to set up a touchdown. Godfrey Young, who has returned four kicks for TDs this fall, broke 43 yards along the sideline to the Newport 47. He went 69 yards in the league meeting to set up the score which gave Irvine its insurmountable lead. "That didn't help,• Brinkley said of Young's return, which Otott cashed in seven play later, connecting with Dave Doomey on a 15-yard TD pass. The play came one snap after Young converted a fourth-and-one situation and Doomey added his second conversion kick to all but seal the deal. Irvine's defense, a maniacal band of darting demons, which averages just 6- foot, 176 pounds, technically dosed the coffin from there. It was the Vaqs' fifth shutout of the campaign, their third in four playoff games. In last week's semi- final, they held a Tustin, which had averaged 62 points its previous seven games, to six points. Senior end Brian Porteous sacked Morgan C raig for a 9-yard loss on fourth-and-18 at the Irvine 23 to thwart a Newport drive that began on its 24. Senior safety Joe Bollard, who shared Sea View League Co-Defensive Player of the Year laurels with Saenz. intercepted at his own 1 to stop another possession and Chris Lamm picked off another pass to end Harbor's final dri- ve. Irvine had five sacks and held New- port tailback Chris Manderino to less than 100 yards for the first time in his 13-games playing tailback. Manderino, the Sea View Offensive Player of the Year, gained 73 yards on 24 carries to finish with 2, 141 yards for the season. Manderino, who came in with a New- port-Mesa District single-season record 31 TDs, also caught three passes for 36 yards, as Craig completed 17 of 31 for 163 yards. Junior receiver Brian Gaeta, like Craig one of seven starters returning, caught eight passes for 79 yards. His performance gave him 62 catches, the third-best single-season total in the school's 70-season varsity history. Irvine managed just 69 yards rush- ing, but all six of Otott's completions produced double-figure yardage. Patton, who sat out the last two games for disciplinary reasons, had two catches for 92 yards.
