Danette Goulet D AILY PILOT NEWPORT-.MESA -Vandalism is a problem that costs taxpayers in the Newport-Meso Unified School Distrtct upward of $25,000 each year. During the last school year, between Sept. 1, 1m, and June 1, 2000, the distrit:t's maintenance department reported 179 incidents of vandalism that required cleaning or repair of school property. Many of those incidents included multiple broken windows or locks or were listed as •clean graffiti from entire school. " The cost to taxpayers was $28,221. And that price tag does not include the most recent summer months, when the scbool grounds are quieter and mora susceptible to vandalism Not included in that report were another 31 incidents that OCCUJTed in June alone, officials said. ·1 don't get it, why they would do this to their own place of learn- ing,• said school board trustee Jim A Ferryman. ~Sometimes it's guys who get all tanked up and break a window, oth- er times it's a senior prank and they throw stuff in the pool.

"It's our first year doing this and it is just amazing,• said Ra.lane Clarke of San Carlos, who was accoIJ:U>4llied by her husband, Jim, their dog, Angela, and her mother, Lee Stein of Corona del Mar. •My mom said this was the thing to do, and she was right Just look at all the pretty boats."

The event kicked off Sunday and will continue at 6:30 nightly through Saturday, ~g at Coll1ns Island. This was the first time Art and Carol Montsinger of Huntington Beach have seen the parade, and they said they couldn't have asked for a better view. The couple were in the front patio of a friend's home for. a holiday party and mar· veled at the number of people laughing and chatting around them on the sidewalk. ·nus is really a wonderful community event.· Carol Montsinger said. "We were walking down the sidewalk and just ran into some friends from Whittier. It's just perfect weather and so much fun." A few bows before the event began. parade chainnan Brett Hemphill couldn't say enough about how pleased he was with the weather. "The waters look awesome,• said Hemphill, who rode on a Harbor Patrol boat with parade control chairman Jim Dale in case there was any boat trouble. ·The wind w not out ol oontrol; it's petty mel- low.

It is a great time of year for visiting friends, overeating, enjoying music, mer- riment and watching boaters haul out their decks and deck out their hulls. It's a happy time. The harbor is crowded with corporate gatherings. family reunions, hU'ldreds of thousands of visitors, neighborhOod get- togethers and at least 150 parade entries and 200 observing vessels. The water looks like the inside of a Maytag washer on the spin cycle. It's fun. but it can get a little danger- ous. The liquid beneath the boat is not the problem. It's the liquid in the boat - or should I say. the liquid in the boater. It's a time of good spirit and a time for mgesting good spirits. It's also when we need to be more cautious than usual because there is no time when more boats are in the harbor at once. During the parade, boats maneuver about like ants at a picnic. But ants seem to have a distinct purpose and direction, while imbibing boaters do not. Boats are inches apart from needing fiberglass repairs and the possibility of serious bod- ily injury is heightened a hundredfold. Enjoy the decorated boats, the parties, the spectacle and even nog your egg if you wish. but be sure to have a designated skip- per aboard -and for the drive home too. "It seems like every year we have one or two people fall overboard,• said Capt. Marty Kasules, the Newport Beach har- bor master for the Orange County Sher- iff's Department's Harbor Patrol. "The water is about 57 degrees and the air is going to be very cold. When people fall into the water all bundled up with parkas and heavy clothing, swim- ming and surviving can be very difficult.• The harbor master said boaters should be aware that being on the water at night is much different than a sunny summer day. "Our navigation buoys No. 8 and 10 get destroyed during the parade, which means if they are damaged, so are the hulls of the vessels that hit them,• Kasules said. Some Harbor Patrol suggestions: • Many boats use gas generators for powering the lights. When the generator runs out of fue l and the boater tries to refuel with the motor still hot, poofl-a fire. • Most recreational boaters do not use their vessels at night and it's a lot more difficult. There will be a 0.1 tide around 10 p.m. during the parade. For vessels with a deep draft, it is strongly suggested to stay in the middle of the channels. • Make sure there a.re ample We jack- ets aboard and have all children wear them during the parade. Also, make sure they a.re in child.size preservers. • Refresh your memory on man-over- board procedures and have a safety plan. Monitor Channel 16 on your VHF radio. Enjoy the parade and be safe. • TERRANCE PHILLIPS Is the Dally Pilot's bo'1.lng writer. He may be reached by e~mall at terrykpOemail.com . READERS HQIUME (949) 642-6086 . . . ..

T • Mathfl Winkler DAILY PILOT •• S tanding on the pier in front of her South Bayfront home, Donna DiBari sWl seemed unsatisfied with the light extravaganza covering her house. "Oh, it's still in progress," the in~or designer said Thursday, unhappily eyeing a dark spot on one of the 40-foot-high palm trees. One of the strands of lights that tightly wrapped the trees, framing DiBari's house between two glistening columns, had blown out. • A perfect appearance was important, however, because jurors for the 92nd annual Newport Harbor Christmas Boat Parade were making the rounds to choose the most beautiful house decorations in tbe annual •Ring of Lights· contest. Residents could enter their lighting designs in categories ranging from "Best Humor and Originality• to •Best Lights and Animation• to "Most 1raditional. • DiBari took second place in the •Most na- ditional • category last year and said she g the light fantastic 'Ring of Lights' competitor on Balboa Island knows what it takes to shine on the harbor hoped to score even better this year. Apart from the trees on either side of the house, DiBari put <;olorful lights on smaller trees and railings, wrapped baby palm trees in. red or green lights and added a lighted wreath to the balcony. In the front garden, Rudolph the Red- Nosed Reindeer was still waiting for bis sleigh. Visible from the street, a We-size San- ta stood inside the living room. The one thing still missing was DiBari's Chrlstinas tree. Having already spent four days on the decorations outside, she said it would take about three more days to finish the tree. Soon after moving to Balboa Island, DlBari said she won a '"Ring of Lights" award for the prettiest house. Since family members and friends come over to watch the parade, she said dropping the ritual of lighting the house wasn't possible ·vou do it one year and then everyon(' expects you to do u,-she said.

Jennifer Kho DAILY PILOT FAIRGROUNDS The Orange County Fair board of directors has decided to expand the Arlington Theater but limit shows to one per night during the annual summer fair. The theater's temporary lawn seating will be increased to accommodate 9,300 people. It now seats 6,500. Shows at the theater, which opened in the 1960s, will be reduced from two ~r day -al 7 and 9 p.m . -dur- ing the fair. Tue single show will start al 8 p.m. Tue decision last week to limit the shows was based on •we were kind of running mto a wall with acts that would play two shows,• be said. •The more popular the acts, the bigger the names, the less (they're likely to want) to do two shows. "We're trying to offer a wide array or acts to appeal to a variety of tastes, and this is going to open doors. We'll have a larger menu of acts available to us, and we'll be able to get acts that are hotter right now or that have a new albwn out.· Fair offioals had chosen a two-show format to accom- modate more people, but the decision to expand the seat- . mg will offset the overall reducbon, Beazley said.

Young Electric Sign Co. is appealing the Plan- ning CommiSsion's 4-1 decision in November to deny Holiday Inn's request. Commission Chair- man Walt Davenport dissented. The hotel originally filed a request for the sign with the city planning staff but appealed to the Planning Commission after being turned down. The maximum sign height allowed under the city code is 32 feet. WHAT TO EXPECT Although the Planning Commission and city staff have denied the request, the council will hold a public hearing before making a decision. IESTAUUNT EIPAllSIOll The council will consider a plan to expand a vacant restaurant space at South Coast Plaza by 662 feet and reduce its outdoor dining patio by 172 square feet to make room for Z'tejas Grill. a Southwestern cuisine restaurant with a bar. The restaurant space previously was occupied by Piret'5. WHAT TO EXPECf Approval is likely since the Planning Commis- sion unanimously voted in November to recom- mend the council's OK of the plan. PLAllNlllG COMMISSION VACANCY The council will discuss filling the Planning Commission position that will open after J?ec. 27, when Commissioner Chris Fewel .will reSJgn. WHAT TO EXPECf The recommendation in the city staff report is for the council to either direct its staff to solicit potential applicants or to provide alternative direction. At a study session Dec. 11. Mayor Libby Cow- an said she was interested in reviewing not only the pending vacancy but 8;150 all of the council appointments to the Planrung Commission and Parks Commission. Ken Person. a Young Electric Sign Co. spokesman representing Holiday Inn, said at the Planning Commission meeting that a 65-foot- high sign is the lowest height that can be seen from the freeway. The expansion, which would require a master plan amendment, would be in a space between Sears and Clubhouse Restaurant. -Compiled by Jennifer Kho Briefly Jn THE NEWS Children to go on a 'magic carpet' ride A new literacy program that combines storytelling with interactive theater will be presented tooay at Lincoln Elementary School in New- port Beach.

"I am trying to con- vince my cousins to do the parade next year in our little Duffy," Sopp said, pointing to a tiny boat floating just in front of her. "It would be so funny to decorate it. We could do better than all the Grinch themes I saw th.is year.• Of course. the Grinch was not around when the parade was started in 1908 by Italian gondolier John Scarpa and Joseph Beck, one of the city's founders. That year th.ere were eight boats illuminated by Japanese lanterns and led by Scarpa's gondola. Now, the event is con- sidered one of the pre- mier boat parades in the nation and so popular that spectators are hard- pressed to find a place to park to watch the vessels cruising the harbor.

During that year a stagger- ing 95 windows were broken, he said. Graffiti was cleaned off school walls 71 times.

The books are the first installment of a donation by two Fastil9n Island organiza- tions -Club Literacy, a read- ing club. and For Your Imagi- nation, a learning center. 1.

First, the incidents usually occur at night, on·weekends or when school is on break. During the Thanksgiving holiday last month, at least half of Newport-Mesa's 29 schools were vandalized to some extent. At three Costa Mesa schools -Davis Education Center, Costa Mesa High School and the site leased to Coastline Community Col- lege -vandals threw man- hole covers through windows and ransacked offices in search of cash and valuables. During the same four-day school holiday, vandals broke into Newport Heights Ele- mentary School, where they sprayed orange slush on the cafeteria floor, put a stuffed animal in the microwave and stole $100 from a classroom. At Corona del Mar High, vandals hopped the fence to Estrada, Shalimar's elemen- tary center director. "The first priority is to help them with their homework, but improving their skills is also a priority.

As for the day-to-day van- dalism, the district follows the national zero-tolerance mod- el used by gang task forces across the country that calls for the immediate removal of any graffiti. Custodians arrive on sch ool campuses hours before students, and by the time the first bell rings there are no traces of graffiti that may have covered the schools walls at 5 or 6 a.m. If no one sees the vandals' handiwork, it talces the fun out of it for them. Jetta said. ln fact, Newport-Mesa offi- cials are so quick to remove signs of graffiti that Sgt. Clay Epperson, who is in charge of the Costa Mesa Police Department's gang detail, said it o~en is cleaned up before he can arrive to see it. GANG ACTIVITY DECREASING Although he is called out to schools whenever there is graffiti that could be gang- related, Epperson said that was the case in only a few of the 71 reported incidents. •Of the vandalism on school campuses right now, the vast majority is not gang- related. • he said. •And the number of inci- dents that we can specifically identify as. gang-related is a small percentage.• In fa ct, Epperson said, there has been a significant drop in gang activity in the last few years. •Recent statistics show gang activity down 70%, • he said. "So it's kids acting out -bored kids damaging property.• A POSSIBLE SOLUTION The $163-million school bond voters passed in June holds one possible solution to the ongoing problem: securi- ty cameras at each school.

CELEBRATING THE MILLENNIUM Estancia • Former football coach elevated the Eagles' basketball program to a higher level in the 1970s. Richard Dunn DAILY PILOT For someone thrust into 1111 coaching basketball at Estancia High, it's hard to believe Dave Carlisle took over under such circumstances considering the players he groomed and teams he coached .. The head man of Estanaa's first great basketball teams, igniting a program that has traditionally produced championship contenders, Carlisle arrived at the school as a football coach. But, after one year, the Estancia Athletic Department had a courtside void to fill. Carlisle, who had coached hoops at TeWinlcle Junior High in Costa Mesa for three years and was just victories in a season (21) and captured the league crown with players like Mike Camp, Greg Krobnfeldt, Jim Price. Kevin Corbett, Brad Cooper, Orgill and Neumann. "That ('77 team) was probably the best team we had,• said Carlisle, who taught science at TeWinkle and U.S. history at Estancia, before completing a long and distinguished career in the Newport-Mesa School District at Back Bay High for three years and one more year at Te Winkle. Carlisle, who has been retired for several years, grew up in Henderson, Ky., and later played baseball and football at Murray State University. completing his second Dave Carlisle autumn as the Eagles' where he was the quarterback of the Ohio Valley Conference champions his senior year. After graduating from high school in sophomore gridiron coach, was asked to replace Gary Carr, sort of. "They kind of forced me into that,· Carlisle said of his Estancia head basketball coaching assignment in 1972, which started a memorable six-year term. Under Carlisle, the Eagles began at the bottom of the Irvine League heap, then became champions of the Century League with a talented 1977 squad led by Pete Neumann and Ray Orgill. From 1972 to '77, Estancia work~d its way onto the Orange County basketball map. Carlisle compiled 76-66 record in that span, but a 52-23 mark in his final three seasons, including the school's first league championship in the sport and 2 t -6 showing in his final campaign. Carlisle, the head coach of the South team in the '77 Orange County All-Star Basketball Game at Orange Coast College, virtually handpicked his successor when then-Estancia Principal Floyd Harryman sought his recommendation. "I told Harryman, That's your man for my job right there,' • Carlisle said, referring to former Costa Mesa basketball coach Larry Sunderman, who became a huge success at Estancia from 1978 to '84. In the 1975-76 campaign, 6-foot·6 standout Jim McCloskey, who attended USC 011 a basketball scholarship, led the Eagles (17-8) to a school record for victories in a season and the program's first CIF Sou(hem Section playoff berth since. 1970. Estancia also won Its first-ever playoff game in 1976 with a 57-49 upset victory over Sunset Leagu~ champion Marina and future Notre Dame Rich Branning. But, in his la.st season as head coach, Carlisle would make bis biggest splash as the Eagles smashed the school record for SCHEDULE TODAY 1942, Carlisle spent 2112 years in the U.S. Army during World War D, serving in the Allies' drive from Africa to Germany. After the war, Carlisle started at quarterback for two years at Murray State, including one year in the Tangerine B6wl at Orlando, Aa. (now the Citrus Bowl). Then, Carlisle went to Lakeworth, Fla., to play semipro football "We played Ft. Lauderdale for the championship and woo,• Carlisle said. "It was right around 1950 or '51." For three years, Carlisle coached football, baseball and basketball at Lakeworth High, his first job out of college, then moved to East St. Louis, Ill., for a football coaching position. After about five years, Carlisle picked up his family, which included four children. and moved to California, where the pay scale for teachers and coaches was higher. He coached baseball and football at Centennial High in Compton and helped nwture the baseball careers of future major leaguers Roy White and Reggie Smith. After three years at Centennial, ~taught one year at Huntington Beach High, then landed at TeWinkle and stayed in the school district the rest of bis career. These days, Carlisle enjoys traveling throughou t the U.S. with his wife, Joan, a longtime Estancia teacher and cross country and track and field coach. Carlisle drives a truck with a V-10 engine, pulling a boat and 30-foot trailer in search of the country's best hunting and fishing spots. When Carlisle meets new folks on the road and is asked- where he's frs>m, he limply refers to Costa Mesa as •God's • Carlisle, the latest honoree in the Daily Pilot Sports Hall of Pame, has four children and seven grandchildren. ····-·· Coflegt men -Lewis I Oark State College fi Vanguard Un~. 7:30 p.m. ~women -Llwfence University (Wisc.) .i Vang\Wd UnlYtnfty.

But Sunday were matches made in golf heaven. With blue skies overhead the entire weekend and sail- boats on the Paci.fie Ocean as a perfect backdrop for the made-for-television event, heavy drama played out on the Ocean North Course in the championship matches of all three major tour5, capped by another Jack Nicklaus victory.

For Nicklaus and partner Tom Watson, they won their second straight Team Matches title and are now an amazing 8-0 in their careers as match-play partners, after beat- ing Senior PGA Tour rivals Bruce Fleisher and David Graham, 4 and 2, in the finals. On the PGA Tour, Tom Lehman and Duffy Waldorf defeated defend- ing champions Fred Couples, the "King of the Silly·Season,• and Mark Calcavecchia in a match requiring two extra holes. Nicklaus, who hinted Sunday about playing more golf on the Senior Tour in 2001 if his putter continues to sizzle, got heated up at Pelican Hill for the second year in a row. "In match play, there's a definitive outcome in the match or hole, and how you play it doesn't affect the next bole," said Nicklaus, who split the $200,000 first-place purse With Watson. "For some reason, in match play, I have an attitude that I really need to make this putt. In medal play I'm always protecting what I'm doing. "Match play's a lot of fun, and I'd like to transition that attitude back into my game. It's one I used to use.· Nicklaus, the winner of a record 18 major champi- onships and 70 wins on the PGA Tour, and Watson beat Gary McCord and John Jacobs in Saturday's semifihals, 4 and 2. In other match play, Watson and Nicklaus were 3-0 in the 1981 Ryder Cup and 1-0 in the 1977 Ryder Cup. They're 4-0 in the Team Matches at Pelican Hill, where they made six birdies to close out Fleisher-Graham in a rematch of last year's Senior Tour final-round match. "Ma.king birdies turns the momentum around so quick- ly in match play,• said Watson, who birdied the sixth and 14th holes. "We went 3 up after six. so that was a nice start for us.· Nicklaus said it was his best round of golf since the opening round of last year's Team Matches at Pelican Hill, when the Bear shot an unofficial round of 62 in a lopsided victory over Allen Doyle and l>ana Quigley, 5 and 4. DON LEACH I OAl.Y Pl.OT Jack Nicklaus raises his putter after a birdie putt. "This week has been an eye-opener for me, because I felt terrific every time with the putter," said Nicklaus, the event's top headliner who added that he enjoys the com- petitive juicE!'s created by the match-play format. "There were four or five times (Sunday) when Tom and I thought this was a really key hole or key putt. When you stuff it down their throat, it's kind of demoralizing for the other guys. That's what makes it fun about match play, a~y.• In the six years of the event, Nicklaus and Watson are the second repeat champions on the Senior Tour, following Jim Colbert and Bob Murphy in 1995-96. The event features four two-player teams from the PGA, Senior PGA and LPGA tours in three separate bet- ter-ball tournaments with a total purse of $1.2 million. "When we hit it close enough to the hole, Jack made the putt. (Fleisher and Graham) didn't make a lot of putts,: said Watson, who reiterated Sunday his plans to play in the 2001 Toshiba Senior Classic at Newport Beach Coun- try Club March 2-4.

BOYS HOOPS Shorewood Tourname nt, Steve Virgen DAILY PILOT beginning Thursday. ANAHEIM -The lowest point of the season for the Newport Harbor High boys basketball team arrived Sat- urday night. The score, a 73- 50 loss to Capistrano Valley, was of little significance to the reality of the result. The Cougars carried a 38- 18 lead into halftime as Har- bor committed 10 turnovers, six in the first quarter. Sailors junior Tony Melum led the Tars with 18 points and 10 rebounds. · Aaron Yamal, who was ~elected for the all-tourna- ment team, also scored in double figures with 10. When the tournament is over, Harbor would have only practiced two days in the last three and a half weeks because of tournament play, Hirst said. Still, he is content the Sailors are taking advantage of the game experience. In the final quarter, with Harbor trailing, 61-33, Hirst turned to bis s ubstitute players and gave them playing ti.me. The loss wasn't a matter of being outmatched . It was more of being outplayed and outhustled that led to the Tcµs' worst loss of the sea- son. But, it was the hot shooting and transition game of the Cougars that blew out the Tars. ·It turned out well in the last six minutes,• he said. "We can play our subs. You hate to lose. but at least we got to experiment with some things." Harbor (8-3) fell to fourth place in the Anaheim Con - vention Center Holiday Clas- sic as Capistrano Valley (5-1) broke away from a 6-6 tie, after the opening two min- utes, and outscored the Sailors 21-5 over the next eight minutes. Capo's Matt Sweaney fin- ished with a game-high 17 points on mostly pull-up jumpshots, while Jake Franzen scored 16 as he drove to the basket, convert- ing on reverse layups. •Not to take anything from Capo Valley,• said Hirst. •But, most of our mistakes, in the first half that were lead- ing to their points, were sell- induced." "We weren't really strong with the ball,• said Harbor point guard Greg Perrine, who scored six points. "I ·think our confidence was a little low after the El Toro loss (Priday}. Our (communica- tion) wasn't t60 good in this game. We had a lot of stupid turnovers. They were intense.• "(Capo Valley) played at a . different level than us,• Har- bor Coach Larry Hirst said . "Their intensity level is just phenomenal. Coach (Brian) Mulligan does a great job of getting them to play that hard. That's what we're going to work on after Christmas, when we finally practice, try- ing to play that hard all the time.· Hirst also said the Sailors have not been able to prac· lice as much as he would like. Harbor will be able lo prac- tice but one day this week, today ..

CdM knocked out by Ganesba, 65-4 7 LA HABRA -After trailing by just five points at halftime. the Corona del Mar High boys basketball team fell behind quickly with turn- overs and missed shots. And, Ganesha took advan- tage with a 65-4 7 victory to dose out the North Orange County Tournament at Sono- ra High School Saturday night. ·we just kind of let that one get away,• CdM Coach Paul Orris said. "It wasn't one thing that made us lose. Our defense let down. We had a hard time with our athleti- cism. •Once we get behind like that, we have a hard time catching up.• Sea Kings' senior Eric Snell led CdM with 16 points, including four three-pointers. ldean Shahangian , another senior, scored 13, and sopho- more Kevin Mancillas hit three three-pointers for his nine points. . "It's taking us a little bit longer to get on track because of the football play- ers that got to us late,· Orris continued. ·we need to keep positive and keep learning. Hopefully, we can use the four days of practice to go over some of the things we haveri't been doing.• The Sea Kings (3-6) will play at Fullerton Friday in a nonleague game.
