CAUSE Of FIRE mLL UlllllOWI Fire officials are still investigating the cause of a fire that consumed an two- story office building on PUBLIC SAFETY Brioso Drive in Costa Mesa. Investigators could not enter the building until Tuesday morning when the building could be made safe for them to proceed with their investigation. The 10,000-square-foot builciing that housed about 11 offices, was severely dam- aged structurally and will most likely be tom down. Officials are still in the process of determining the damages. I waited and listened, car keys In hand, dinner In mind. So many times a fire ls attacked quickly and under control within 10 minutes. This was ditferent. The urgency and tone of the visual reports from the scene, as heard over the radio, proved this was for real and would be big. I sped to the scene. Watching the police hf!licopter from mi/es away. I couldn 't imagine what it was. Nothing was visible until I turned left on WhilUer Street and saw the glow In the sky. For Don Leach's full column on covering Sunday's fire at a Brioso Lane business complex, see •Photographer's Notebook" in features at www.dallypilot.com. It took 100 firefighters from five cities to put out the blaze that burned out of control for four hours the night of March 11. Firefighters poured more than 4,000 gallons of water per minute to put out the flames that shot up 40 to 50 feet. They also tried to keep neighboring buildings cool to prevent the.fire from spreading. Despite their efforts, the fire that was probably more than 1,000 degrees, melted a vinyl curtain at a n~ghborlng resi- dence and ignited drapes by the window. -o.ep..

Shelton had asked for sugges- tions on saving water back then. One of them was to put a brick in the toilet tank, and so Stewart submitted his poem to the city council.

Uke Labor Day and Valentine's Day. it's one of those won- derfully ditzy holidays whose origins are largely forgotten. and which now serve as an excuse for us to have fun and for stores to have sales. And no, we're not bemg sacrilegious. Let's brush up on our St. Patrick's lore. The person we refer to as St. Patrick lived in the 5th century and was, of all things, British. When he was 16, he was kidnapped from his home in Britain by Irish marauders (marauding was a big thing in those days) and thrown into slav- ery in Ireland. He escaped after six years, was recap- tured, then finally found his way back to Britain. So we know be was persistent. if nothing else. A devout Christian, Patrick vowed he would return to Ireland as a mis- sionary and did just that. Patrick spent his last years in County Down, where be died on March 17, in the year 461. Your basic, requisite St. Patrick legends are that he drove the snakes out of Ire- land and into the sea, which is false, and that he used a three-leafed shamrock to explain the doctrine of the Thnity, which is true. And that's where the "wearing of the green• business comes from. Early Irish Christians wore the shamrock as a reli- gious symbol, especially on St. Patrick's Day. OK, fine. But bow did all this green stuff jump across the big pond? The Irish were among the earliest immi- grants to America, arriving as early as 1700. The first St. Patrick's Day Parade was held in New York in 1779 by Irish recruits serving with the British Anny. But with the Great Famine of 1846, mil- lions of Irish men dnd women set out for America. Because so many men were named Patrick, after you- know-who, they were qwck- ly nicknamed • Paddys, • and later on, "Pats.· The "Paddy Wagon• was so named in Boston and New York because so many cops were •Paddys. • In fact, our language is shot through with lnsh denv- a lives. ·Shanty,• from • sean tig" for old house: "she- bang.• from "shebeen,· an early lnsb speakeasy; and "sauthereen, • from. ·snudirin, • mearung •small fragment." Now then, that leaves but one question. How will you celebrate this glorious St. Patrick's Day? A Patty party? Green beer? Corned beef and cabbage? Fine.

Oh yeah, that $10.94 million to be exact is just city money and it doesn't count the $50 million in county tax dollars (Newport Beach and Costa Mesa pocket- books included) that have gone toward Ute same effort, an effort that took a major blow at the bal- lot box this month. Now, we hear nunblmgs that Ute pro-EI Toro airport forces aren't finished spending money yet. That lhey will be asking for more money from the Newport Beach City Counal to pursue Ute11 pro-El Toro efforts in the courtroom and elsewhere. We urge Newport Beach lead- ers to act with caution and guard the taxpayers from what may become an even bigger monetary loss. The pbility to overturn the Measure W vote, which called for rezoning-the closed Marine base from aviation use to recreational use, will be a difficult if not impossible talk. Still, we're sure that the legal minds and political analysts of the Airport Working Group and the Citizens for Jobs and the Econo- my will be makihg the case to go forward. Those groups most likely will need a big infusion of cash to do so, and after enjoying the use of millions in taxpayer money over the years, who would blame them for not wanting to shut off the spigot? But the council needs to resist or, at the very least. ask for a full accounting if any cash is sent that way. Recently, we asked for such an accounting of bow the Air- port Working Group has been spending taxpayer funds. So far, we have yet to get answer from either city or working group officials. We presume there have been major battles won with those mil- lions, namely two countywide measures passed in favor of an airport and the overtwning of Measure F in the courts. Again, we can only just pre- sume, since we haven't been handed the details. Even if we were, we can't help but note there is a big difference in the fatally flawed Measure F and the recently passed Measur~ W, which was clearly built to withstand court challenges. An even bigger loss is that of longtime El Toro proponent county Supervisor Cynthia Coad, who has been replaced by vocal El Toro adversary Chris Norby. With Norby in Coad's seat, the board majority will take a tilt toward South County's anti-air- port position. Indeed, Supervisor Jim Silva even talked of backing down from his pro-airport stance if Measure W p.Used. And don't forget that the Navy has already put the wheels in motion to sell off the land to the highest private bidder, which would doom any plans for avia- tion forever. The council needs to keep that all in mind. Even if more money is to be spent on pursuing the El Toro dream, the obstacles to ever see- ing an airport at that site are enormous. And with the odds stacked that high, better that private funds are used in those efforts and not risk losing even more than the $10.9 million the New- port taxpayers have probably alreedy lost. So many terrifying scenes I t has been a ternfyulg few weeks in Newport-Mesa, in particular for the residents of Ute Monticello Town Homes Complex. The fires -two at the complex, one at a tailor shop, another that destroyed a Udo Isle home, an absolute inferno that gutted a building on the Westside bluffs and, finally. one that gutted a Newport Coast home in con- struction -occurred in a string, one happening seemingly just as the embe.r.i of the last were dying out. The list of victims is heart-rend- ing. as would be expected. A man dead in one and several families temporarily without shelter after the explosive early morning blaze at the Monticello complex. 1Wo families left more pennanenUy homeless as their homes are engulfed. Businesses with still uncounted losses after a late-night fire a week ago. What is terrifying about It all is how quickly and unexpectedly it can happen. Without warning, families were shaken from the11 beds, awakened from dreams. In the ashes, other dreams are lost forever. And there is no telling when it will happen or where it will hap- pen. The flames can attack us in our homes, where we should feel safe. Our homes can go up because of a mistake by a neigh- bor or even a simple, innocent accident It is the very definition of terror. Thankfully, such aises also showcase our better natures. Our firefighters and other safety per- sonnel -police, paramedics - have handled each scene with care and grace. Neighbors have come together to lend support. family memben have shouldered their loved ones' burdens. But tt is all still tenifying.

The same permit reqtllfement applies to the trailers that your boats, jet skis and motorbikes are on.

COMMUNl1Y FORUM Sunday, March 17, 2002 9 e play's the thing Jerry Patch, dramaturge and director of SCR's 5th Pacific Playwrights Festival, dilkusses the changes to this year's event -'E very sununer for the past four years, South Coast Repertory has presented readings, workshQps and productions of new plays as part of the Pacific Playwrights Festival New works by Rkhard Greenberg, Donald Marmmes. Amy Freed and \. more have appeared on SCR stages, several going on to full productions in Costa Mesa and elsewhere. nus year everything will be a lit- tle different. as the theate r company prepares to renovate its existing stages dfld open a new theater by the fall. The festival has been sepa- rated from the Hispanic Playwrights Project, and the dates have been moved to April 26-28 (although pre- views of the two main productions -"The Dazzle" and "Getting Frankie Married -and After- wards" -will open in late March). Jerry Patch, d.ramaturge and director of the festiWI, sat down with Features Editor Jennifer K Mahal to Wk about the changes and what makes the Pacific Play- wrights Fesbval so special. How was the ded.sion made to split the festival this year, so that the Hispanic Playwrlghfs Pro)ed wW be held In the summer, while the main festival is In Aprlll It was necessitated by the con- structJon that we're doing. The con- struction for the new theater and the refwbishment of the existing facility is going to force us to dose from around the first of May to the first of October because the whole front of the build- ing is coming off and they're going to redo the lobby and other things. We really just didn't have the space or the time (for both). We were barely able to sandwich the Pacific Playwrights Festival in at the end of April. We also wanted to bring ·eau- fomia Scenarios• back,·a show that we inaugurated last y~ and we are going to reprise it. It's outdoors in Noguchi Garden, the sculpture gar- den we call California Scenario, and the end of April is just not when you want to be sitting outdoors.$<>. first of August is fine and that's when we'll do it, late July and August. When ls the festival generally heldl For the first four years we did 1t, we ran it in June .... We put it as late as we could, it's literally a week before we close the building that it's taking place this year. Next year, it's going to happen in May, and it will probably stay there a while. This has to do with ow new production calendar. How bas the playwrights festival grown in the last four yearsl We really started out with the aspi- ration to Slmply hold a regional play development festival. I had worked for almost 10 years at the Sundance Institute in Utah, and when th.at affili- ation ended, we thought well, play development was sort of drying up in the festival sense. The Bay Area Play- wnghts Conference had stopped. The Los Angeles Theater Center, which had a Jot of new play development. was gone. So we thought this would be an interesting thing to do just regionally. And it turned out by the second one that this was a national event and it very quickly has become thal It's gone from sort of a regional tdee to a national one. It's also evolved into something that beoome a source of new plays for other theaters. We're very eager for that to happen. You know, many of • the plays we've produced, but we're always delighted to see other theaters produce the plays that COlJle through the festival. OW' sort or poster child Is Amy Freed's play •nie Beard of Awn.• which was here last year and which got siX other productions in its ftrst year and at some ot the leading the- aters 1n the country. And that play has not yet been to New York. Normally the circuit is a play goes to New York. it gets recognized and . then people do it across the country. That's even been true of plays that we've done here like "Wit" or "Col- lected Stories,• "Sight Unseen.• ·Three Days of Rain" -they will go to New York, they're anointed in New York and then they get done all over the country. We really like this idea that they can be done all over the country first. It's a good thing for the writer because It makes playwrit- ing a viable way to make a living for them instead of having to write tele- vision or movies 1ust to make a living, or whatnot. What play in the festival's history bas gone on to be the most success- ful, in your oplnlonl Well, I think ·Tue Beard of Avon· is probably the short answer. There are a number of them. •Everett Beekm. • Richard Greenberg's play, went from here to Naw York. There's two by Greenberg that have gone on and 1*en done in New York and around the country. •Beginning of August.• Tom Donaghy's play, got done here and in New York. •Mys- tery of Attraction• has been around. But I think if we're going to say which is the most successful. it's prob- ably "The Beard of Avon.• There's a play by David Lind.say-Aha.ire, "Kim- berly Akimbo.• that won a major lit- erary prize last year .... How are the plays that are in the festival cbosenl Plays come to us from agents. They come from writers. They come from other theaters who submit them for inclUSJon m the festival. And I and my colleague. Jennifer Kiger and I read them, and Linda Sullivan Baity, who this IS her first year on staff. So the three of us read them and essentially the plays that we think a.re at the top of the heap, we pass on to David Enunes and Martin Benson. And then the five or us talk about them, and that's how the plays get picked. Do you have any spedflc criteria for the plays or do you sort of rely on knowing what you like when you see ltJ Very much that Writers very often ask us, "Wbat ve you loolcing for?• And the answer ts exactly that, we laiow it when we see it But we don't think we're as smart as the writers and we almost never ask a wrlter to write to a particular vlsion or idea. We do that for some ol our edualtional touring shows. in order to fit with cur- rlculum. But, normally th& most we'll ever do is a wnte.r will say, ·wen. l've got two or three plays 1n my head. I've got this ldee. and this idea and thiS idea.· And we will say ·wen. Y9U know, thiS one,• -we're tA1king about a play, them wribng a commis- sion for us -•this one is probably more within the parameter of bemg produced here.• That's as close as we ever gei to being prescriptive. How many of the plays In the festtval are commissioned versus submlttedt I'd say in any given year it's a Uurd to a half. And the reason that it's so high is we commission a lot of plays. I would guess th.at our outstanding cormrussions right now might total the next two or three theaters combined. How do you determine which plays get a full staging versus the ones that are readingsl In previous years. we have had workshop productions of plays, and we don't tlu.s year because Richard Green~rg's •Tue Dazzle" IS on stage getting a full production. One or the conceits we have is that we like to bring plays back from the preceding festival in full production. So Uus year "Getting Frankie Married," Horton Foote's play, is. was in last year's festi- val. So now people who ca.me last year to the reading can now see it done in full. We think that's fun. I hope they think it's fun too. We may well go back, when we are finished with this construction. to including a workshop production in the festival. Generally those slots have tended to go to younger writers who really would benefit more from hav- ing a more fully realized productJon and a longer rehearsal period. How do you achieve the balance between the up-and-coming play- wrights and the ones who are more established, such as Richard Green- berg and Beth Henleyl Tius is a nobon that I came up with at Sundance that -I don't claun it's original with me, but I didn't learn it from anybody -that one year when I had Tom Murphy at Sundance and Donald Margulies and Howard Korder, who are two front ranked American playwrights who were there, and then we had some younger writers. And sort of the stratification of the playwriting community there was really interesting because everyone there knew that Tom Murphy was the great wrtte.r that was on the m~un­ tain. I mean be was an international writer of significance. And they also knew that Donald and Howard bad good careeB, you know Donald bad recently won th Pulitzer and it was- n't like they were chopped liver. And then there were these kids who were kind ot starting out and ~ had all ot that enthusiasm and th.at sort ol lDlpb9d Mulphy a.o.d Howard and Oooald a.od took them beck to wben they were starting. So, there was Uus land of symbio- sis or synergy that came out of artists bemg at different stages m their careers that they sort of bounced off of one another, and that really impressed me. I though this is a good way to do this. And you can't do it all the time, but for sure this year the - Richard and, certainly, Horton Foote, who is an American master, Beth Henley, who is a Pulitzer Prize win- ner. those are the establ!Shed writers. And then Julia Cho, Julia Jordan, Steven Drukman and, really Lynn Nottage is somewhere in between Beth Henley and the three I Just men- tioned .... So you just try to slot it that way so there are reference points. Qwte honestly, 1t also makes writ- ers more comfortable with one anoth- er and reduces the possibility that anything like tlns becomes competi- bve, because all wnters want their plays produced. That's what they wanl And If there are seven other writers in the. room. there are seven other people who want their play pro- duced, and there are only so many slots.

DONL£ACH I DAILY PILOT • Scott Wman~ is trying to help lead Orange Coast College to a state title after overcoming bigger challeng~s of his own. Stew Virgen DAILY PILOT V olleyball and family had always been synonymous in Scott Winant's life. He was raised in the sport. But. last yearl volleyball became an antipathy. Wlnant's mother, Sally Buselt, 46, died in. a car acd.dent in January 2001 and her son's life would never be the same. The pain and depression was too.much and Winant, who is now the starting setter for the undefeated Orange Coast College men's volleyball team (13--0), no longer wanted to play his favorite game. However, Wlnant overcame his sense of lou with the help of memories of h1a mother. who would have wanted her son to continue playing and competing. •When I play, I have a picture of her that I keep with me in the pocket of my aborts,• Wlnant said. •she would want me to continue to play." With that motivation and the constaJ;lt support from bis family, induding his father and former Costa Mesa High boys volleyball coach Jerry Winant, Scott has elevated his game this season and is helping guide OCC in its quest for a state title. Scott discovered the tra gic news of his mother's death less than a month before his season began for Irvine Valley College. •It was real hard for me,• he said. "When I wu younger I was close to her and I wu getting doser to her. It wu hard to see that go away. And I just kept playing through my mind: The memories and different thing• that she wouldn't be able to see me do now.• Scott'• family convinced him that h1a mother would want him to play on.· And so he did. Yet soon his zest for life, never mind his love for the game, wu challenged. His grades dropped. His personality changed. His desire for competiti.?n, gone. Scott would see pare.nts, end other mothen, come cheer for his teammates et Irvine Valley and that nearly drove him to quit, But, Jerry Winant told his son to keep playing. Sometimes, volleyball can be just the right therapy. •Under different drcumstances I would have recommended him not to play,• said Jerry Wlnant. who · wu a setter at Cal State Pullerton, where he meet his late ex-wile Sally Bu.sell, alto a setter for the 1ltam. •I think volleyball wu helpful. I'm really proud that he ceme back. I'm really proud of how well he's done. It was tough for him when his mom died. Just to stay in school WU tough.• Scott inaeased h1a effort throughout.each.match during last season and dedicated lt all to hi.I mother. He earned All-Orange Empire Conference second-team honors and bis hunger for competition was renewed. Unfortunately, Irvine Valley could not fulfill bis goals of winning a state tiUe, Scott said. He wanted to go back to the school and the coach who had red.shirted him in his first year. OCC Coach Chuck Cutenese, who played for Costa Mesa High under Jerry Wlnant. welcomed Scott back. Cutenese's squad lost in the state final to Loa Angeles Pierce, and Scott witnessed the match. The next day he called his former coach and they began to talk of plans for the following season. A lign of h1a ~ng comeback th1I :year, oame on Wednesday, when Scott ran the offense with 37 au1sts in a victory over host Pierce. •He loves the big matchea and the big games,• said Jerry Wlnant. who coached hi.I son during dub competition throughout Scott's high school yean. •He Wtll always play hi.I best in those big matches."

Winners in pool play twice on Friday, the Sailors were nevertheless in the position of not even making th~ quar- terfinals should they lose in two to a very strong Santa Margarita dub in the last pool play match Saturday morning. · Harbor, behind the ki1la of Erlk Peterson (10), Greg Perrine (nine), Brian Gaeta (seven) and Jamie Diefenbach (seven) pulled out a 17-15, 15-9 win over Santa Margarita. Marina was the first hurdle in the final eight, and after falling behind, 8-1, the Sailors rallied to win, 17-15, 10-15, 15-11, the final game in rally scoring. The key to the match came at the 1-8 juncture, and Glenn said ·we kind of got a bead on them and realized the.tr style. "My guys aren't really too good at listening to my scouting reports. They seem to have to witness lt for themselves.• Once the Sailors realized the style and situation, they were back In the hunt. Peterson had 17 kills, Perrine 17 kills, Gaeta eight kills and Diefenbach seven kills. In the semifinal after splitting the first two sets, 6-15, 15-11, the host Chargers of Edison jumped to a 10""6 lead in the rally set before the Sallon came back to cla1m a 15-13 verdict. Perrine bad 17 kills and h1a brothdr, Brett. bad eight killl. Gaeta bad 10 km.I and Peterson had seven kills. On the other end of all that w-. setter Loyd Wright. · •Loyd juat had a greet day leading the way,• l&id Glenn. Monc\ay'1 title match is the beginning of a week whlcb flnds.

Lopez struck out two Pirates in the seventh, but he also allowed another hit, a home run by sophomore Glenn Hedgpeth. Hedgpeth sent a 3-1 pitch to the same spot where Beerer got his home run. Jared Lewis had the third and final bit for OCC. It was a ground-rule double in the final inning. ·we weren't very competitive today.· Altobelli said. •I thought we were playing a lot better as a group (during the Golden West win). We were swinging a lot better. (Lopez) did a nice job, getting ahead. But we took way too many fastball strikes today and didn't swing the bat. They're a good team, but I'm not overly Impressed with anybody in our conference. We're a very average team right now." Gauchos again Tuesday at 2 p.m., at Saddleback.
