The gentleman in the red suit. who probably should go on a diet, and Santa Catalina Island. It's enjoyable having both dose at hand. '1ls that time of year when the cash regis· ters are ringing in the season and the malls are more crowded than a Tu.llahassee courtroom. 'Itying to determine what gift to give can be time-consuming and hectic. Locating an open parking space in a mall will take you longer than the drive getting there, and try· ing to find a salesperson is almost impossi- ble. But there is an answer. Marine gifts are both nautical and nice. Marine stores are not crowded , have ample parking and the boating enthusiast shopper is far less likely to fight for positioning at the sales counter. The stores sell everything from sloops to knots. The folks at Basin Marine, next to the Galley Restaurant, suggest either the Night nacker cord.less/rechargeable spotlight for $79.95 or a collapsible dock cart from Kart Ahoy for $44.95. The Boss lighted screwdriver for $14.99 would fit nicely in a stocking. And for the ulti· mate Peeping Tom, the Steiner 7x50 stabi- lized, compassed binoculars for $1,058 will bring the Santa across the sea 50 times doser. To be on the safe side, an Amerex two- pound fire extinguisher for $58 would come in handy when the sparks fly. West Marine on Coast Highway prints a "Boating Best Gifts" list. Items are listed in pricing categories of under $25; $25 to $50; $50 to $100; $100 to $200 and the Bill Gates list. On the back of the page, there's a sec- tion called the "Wish Llst, • which makes it convenient for a person to hint what is desired. If you just don't know what to give, manager Jay Carson will be happy to make some suggestions. For stocking stutters, how about a mug buoy drink holder for $10.99 or a dassic Greek fisherman's bat for $17 .991 I really liked the half-model wall mount of the first America's C up winner, the 1851 schooner •America,• for $99,99. It's great for a den or office. Pond yacht models from $199 to $599 are super for decorating an office, kid's room or family room. Minney's Ship Chand.lery is always a fun place for gift hunting. New and used equipment is abundant at this legendary shop on Newport Boulevard. Employees suggest leather belts with woven schooners or signal flags for $17 to $25; polished brass ship bells from $10 to $50; or life preserver rings scrolled with "Welcome Aboard• -great for a game or family room-for $17 to $40. And you can frame an old navigation chart for $1.95. But if you really, truly love someone, just buy an entire yacht. They are already equipped with all this stuff. • 1ENlANCE PHIWPS is the Dally Pilot's boating writer. He may be reached by e-mail at ttrrykpOemail.com . VOL 94, NO. 294 THOMAS H.

Jennifer Kho DAILY PILOT COSTA MESA -The Planninfl Commission tonight will have to s9rt through a disagreement over whe ther a pool hall should be allowed to keep an outdoor smoking area. The panel's review of Q-Club Bil- lbuds & Cate's compliance with modified permits, which were approved in August, originally was scheduled Nov. 27 . It was COQtinued unW tonight, however, because nei- ther the property owner nor neigh- bors who have filed complaints about the pool hall at 1525 M~ Verde Drive East came to the November meeting. The business is allowed to have a small smoking area in back of the cafe but is not allowed to serve food or alcohol there. It also must supervise the area to minimize noise. The owners originally applied for pem$Sion to create an outdoor din- ing patio .and sell bard liquor but withdrew the application after the commission received several com- plaints in August about customers smoking and loitering in front of the cafe. Greg Dean, husband of Jean Savopolos, who owns the nearby Dancers in Motion dance studio, urged the Planning Commission in ,August to approve modified permits for Q-Club. "With [George Jabra, manager of the cafe in August) here, I think it's going to be a family-oriented busi- ness," Dean said then. "I say give him a try with the 90 days." But now, Michelle Karr, Q-Club's assistant manager, said Jabra no longer works there. And Savopolos said things are just not working out. "As much as I like to be support- ive of everyone's business, (the Q- Club) is just not good for my 'busi- ness because people are outside smok:ing and loitering,• she said. •As much as I know the owner does try to keep track of that, it's not always easy to get clients to do what you want, and I understand that. "It's hard for me, but parents have a right to be concerned about their daughters when (there are) people staring at them through the windows and things like that." Karr said she is optimistic that a compromise can 'be reached. "We are going to need to com- promise, but it is going to work out,• she said. •A lot of people don't like authority and sometimes people just laugh at me.

Vehicle owners commonJy rely on reduced tread depth to signal the need for new tires. While tread-wear indicators provide a foolproof way to know that tires need to be replaced. it 1 ccnainly a good idea to replace tires prior to obvious need. Vehicle owners should also look for any abnormal igns of wear, and address the cause. before it leads to new tires. What may not be so obvious to drivers is that hi\ting pot holes at high speeds may hann the inner structure of the · tire to the point that it may require replacement without any visible indication. And, salt and ozone, which can leave side walls dry and cracked. can compromise the life ex of an tire. HINT: Regular tire l'Olation, every 6,000 to 8.<XX> miles, promotes fl'Xn uniform wear for all tires on a vehicle .

SPORTS HALL OF FAME CELEBRATING THE MILLENNIUM Newport Harbor •Newport Harbor comes up short in championship game of inaugural Bill Reynolds Classic at Vanguard, 53-41. Richard Dunn DAILY PILOT COSTA MESA -Saturday night's basketball lesson for Newport Harbor High wasn't about ill-timed turnovers or missed free throws on the front end of one-and-ones. With gentleman Bill Reynolds seat- ed courtside like a younger John Wooden, El Toro's Chargers defeated Coach Larry Hirst's Sailors, 53-41, in the championship game of the inau- gural Bill Reynolds Classic at Van- guard University. When Hirst and El Toro Coach Todd Dixon played under Reynolds, it was a small-college basketball pow- BOYS BASKETBALL erhouse, formerly known as Southern California College with a 353-185 record under Reynolds. Among other things, Reynolds said, as Dixon carried a 4-foot trophy across the hardwood, what he's most proud of is the fact that coaches like Hirst and Dixon are such •great role models." The game of life is often taught in basketball, and that's what Reynolds was getting at. And perhaps the edu- cation Hirst is teaching bis 2000-01 players is responding to losses. After all, it's not how badly you lose, but how you recover and bounce back. Besides, Newport Harbor (6-1) played well enough to beat most teams and stay undefeated, but El Toro (6-0) isn't like most teams. "Newport Harbor plays great defense and (the Sailors' defendersr got up on ow shooters, but I liked our" defense. I felt we matched their inten .. • sity possession for possession,• said· Dixon, whose squad, ranked No. 5 in the Orange County preseason poll, was led by 6-foot-8 senior center Matt Green, the tournament MVP and $250 scholarship award winner. •Coach Hirst said Matt was the X factor and be definitely is the X factor for us,• added Dixon, whose team secured the lead late in the first quar- ter and never trailed again. 1n the third quarter, however, Newport Harbor tied it, 32-32, on all- tournameht selection Steve Young's putback with 2:37 left following a missed three-pointer. Young's basket, two of the rare third-quarter points when El Toro outscored the Tars, 8-7, capped a ral- ly started by senior Aaron Yamal's SEE REYNOLDS PAGE 7' •Mr. Nice Guy was always first in the hearts and ~ds of Newport-Mesa District athletes, coa~bes. Rkhard Dunn DAILY PILOT D on Bums, kn~wn • longtime friend and former Marine Safety Lleutenanf, once said. ~EITZ, AS IN RIGHTS as an easygoing gentleman with great dignity, lived a life disputing Leo Durocher's famous line of "nice guys finish last." The late Bums, who grew up in Newport Beach as an outstanding swimmer and waterman through the city's junior lifeguard department. left a legacy of Nice Guys Finish First. •He was such a likable individual -you just had to admire everything he did,• longtime friend, mentor and colleague, AJ Irwin, said or Burns. A dedicated coach, Bums touched countless lives at Newport Harbor, Costa Mesa and Estancia high schools, as well as members in the Newport Beach Lifeguard program. "He was always there with a big handshake and a smile. No one ever saw him down, nor did he ever have anything impolite to say about someone. He was just a very special man.• As a head football coach, Bums inherited a struggling team (Harbor) and a brand new program (Mesa) as the losses outnumbered the victories. As the Sailors' bead coach for two years (1956-57), then Costa Mesa's sideline chief for three (1960-62), Bums compiled a 13-28-3 mark as the "nice guy" image haunted him. But that's when Burns arrived at Estancia and· helped open another new higb school in Costa Mesa, assuming the reins or the Eagles' track and field program for several years. •Don could really relate to the kids -he was such an easygoing guy,· Emil Neeme, As a 12-year-old kid, Bums joined the junior aquatics circuit in the late 1930s under the tutelage of lifeguard captain Don Bums a former basketball coach at Newport Harbor, Costa Mesa and Mater Dei. once said. Irwin, who started the junior prC?9farn. Bums moved out of the area during his high school years and later attended USC, then returned to his roots in 1953 to coach football at Newport Harbor under Irwin. It was the beginning of a memorable relationship between the beloved Burns and the Newport-Mesa School District. Before Bums died of an apparent heart attack on Nov. 13, 1993. at age 67, he enjoyed a 31-year tour of duty with the school district that concluded in 1984. Bums also became a Lieutenant Lifeguard and served 4 7 years for the Newport Beach program. fulfilling a promise that he'd never willingly retire from his passion in life, aside, of course, from his family. including wife Rose, sons John and Don Jr., and daughter Kathy. "Our lifeguards always said Don had just one emotion, always happy.• Jim Turner, a Irwin, who has known Bums longer than anyone in the area, said tbe beloved coach "put his . heart and soul into (coaching) and was easy to get along with.• Bums served as Irwin's backfield coach for three years before taking over as head coach when Irwin was hired as the football coach at Orange Coast College. Irwin's final gridiron squad at Harbor in '55 was filled with seniors. leaving the next year's team, in Bums' inaugural season as head coach, with mostly inexperienced players. • r can't speak highly enough of him,• Irwin said of Bums, the latest honoree in the Daily Pilot Sports Hall of Fame, of which Irwin is also a member. •Not only was he a good coach. but he was a dear friend. "(His death) was a real shame, because be passed very suddenly. None of us expected any (health) problems.• Burns seemed to always be young at heart. She provides some order on the court as Corona del Mar showed CIF Southern Section exactly who was in charge this tennis season. A s if we haven't heard the word "historic" enough lately, Corona del Mar High's girls tennis team put a new spin on CIF Southern Section records in the millennium year. First, Corona del Mar wasn't happy about the first-year section rule that eliminates schools from moving up in sports with enrollment-based playoffs. Only three years removed from a national championship, according to USA Today, and CIF Division 1 title, Corona del Mar was relegated t~ fourth string in 2000, than.ks to a group of brilliant CIP section officials who don't mind semifinal matches finishing at 18-0, or championship matches being decided without much stroke. Richard Dunn TENNIS OK, so Coach Andy Stewart's top-seeded Sea Kings go out and win the CIF Division IV title, as expected. But, secondly, the section imposed another restriction on them earlier this season, telling junior stand9ut Brittany Reitz that, well, you can play, but you have to wait until Columbus Day and miss a lot of great matches so this transferring business doesn't look bad. •They didn't want people changing from school to school, like someone wanting to go to a better football team or whatever,• said Reitz, who was home schooled in eighth and ninth grades, before attending Mater De1for28 days last year and transferring to St. Margaret's. "I think (CIP officials) used me as a scapegoat. I thought lt was unfair (to restrict this season's playing eligibility until Oct. 16). I wanted to play tennis for Corona del Mar and they prevented me from doing that in Corona del Mar's· Brittany Reitz the first half of the season.• For poetic justice, Reitz goes out and wins the ClP individual singles championship, where most of the "historic" aspects begin. With Newport-Mesa's sports-minded folks paying dose attention to football, featuring Newport Harbor's run to the CIF Division VI championship game and Orange Coast College's conference title and Strawbeny Bowl berth, perhaps some monumental events, which would otherwise grab top billing, came and went rather quietly in the autumn shuffle. For Reitz, she accomplished something only one other player (Keri Phebus) has achieved in the tennis-rich history of the school: A CIF individual singles title. Reitz. who lost to CdM teammate Anne Yelsey in the Pacific Coast League singles final, became the first player in the same year since Peninsula's Amanda Basica in 1994. to win the section's individual singles title and play on a CIP championship team. (Phebus also won both for CdM in 1988 and '89). Further, Reitz became the first Orange County player to win an indiVidu.al CIP singles title since Dana Hills' Anne Mall in 1990. And, lending more auununltion to CdM's argument about its overall strength and freedom to play team tennis in Division l with the rest of the section's powers, another Anne (Yelsey) probably could've captwed this year's individual CIP singles trophy. After the CIF team championships at the Claremont Club, section officials said the rule prohibiting move-ups might be overturned next season. Let's hope so. Yelsey ts an experienced tournament player, but found out how unaccommodating things can get when there's a conflict in the starting time of a match and another player doesn't want to wait. In the CIF individual championships, Yelsey defaulted her match in the Round or 32 to 1i'oy's Aya Sakoda after missing her 5:45 p.m. starting time at Old Ranch Tennis Club. because she was attending her sister Rachael's bar mitzvah. Section commissioner Paul Castillo and site coordinator nacy Brennan were reportedly told several ·months beforehand that Yelsey would not be able to play until 6 p.m. that day. but competitive tennis can be an awfully harsh world sometimes. Castillo said Sakoda waited over two hours for Yelsey to anive for the match. These occurrences, however, are extremely common in tournament tennis. If somebody's given a free victory, they don't tum it down. Yelsey, though, a sophomore, has two more years to set the record straight.
