Don HWlard beg1.nl a run down his stree~ in Newport BeadL He keeps a run journal. TOP STORY June C.ugrande DAtLV PtLOT Don Hilliard was padding up his driveway after a run, his 36-year-old son Don Jr. by his side. In a lot of ways, this day in April was just like a.ny of the other times the elder Don has gone for a run over the last 30 years. But, when he looked at it another way, it was an event of global proportion -literally. Hilliard has crossed the 24,902-mile mark - the circumference of planet Earth1 thus, if his per- sonal running journals are to be trusted, since he started running, the Newpbrt Beach resident has put enough miles behind him to literally circle the globe. "Probably the most enjoyable thing has been in the final run, when I came into the driveway at 24,902 miles, my son was running with me. That was a very enjoyable experience, especially to see that he finally took up running too. So that was something special.• Hilliard got the idea to measure his runs against the girth of the earth decades ago from a co-worker. The two had ta.ken up running at about the same time 30 years ago, and the co- worker was curious to note when he had run the equivalent of the distance from Southern Califor- nia to his hometown of New York City. Hilliard, who bad been keeping a running jour- nal since Day 1, knew that if his knees held out, it was inevitable that he would one day have run enough miles to stretch around the world. He looked up the equatorial circumference of the world, 24,902, and has had his sights set on this goal ever since. "It helps to have a goal, it's good,· he said. But, as wife Anna points out, Don never need· ed to push himself too hard. "He was one of those people who just loved running right from the start,• said Anna, wbo was also the brains behind a party Saturday to cele- brate her husband's worldwide achievement. •At first he would run after work. It was a way to unwind. I always thought it was good for him.• Don, who retired early from the Pacific I..Ue Co., has been a Newport Beach resident since 1972. Now in his 60s, he usually runs about three times a week, for a total of about 15 or 20 miles a week, averaging 750 miles a year. His most common route is a six-mile course beginning near Ford Road, to Jamboree Road, past the Newport Beach Police station, pa.st the · Maniott hotel then back home. Hilliard's nwner- ous local routes were measured out on his car odometer years ago. When he's out of town. he estimates it takes him about eight minutes to run a mile, and figures his distance that way. Over the years, he has kept track of every run in his journals.

Supervisors ioined the City Council on Tuesday in approving the histonc extension, which will now stretch to 2015. The manda- tory nig httime curfew would be exte nded until 2020. City leaders who worked to build a coahllon or neighboring cities supporting the modest expansion of the airport said the extension was "the single most important issue that has faced the city." With the approval in hand, city and county ofOcials headed to Washington D.C. to pitch their deal to the airline industry and the Federal Aviation Administration. The new package of Limits would increase the number of noisiest daily flights from 73 to 85, the annual pa5senger limit from 8.4 million to 9.8 million, gates from 14 to 18 and cargo flights from two to four. -PllUI Olnton covers the environ- ment.

Considering the events of the past year, a patriotic display is manda- tory. I say hang those flags high or hang those flags low, but hang those flags. In keeping with that theme, I'm going to share a little history with you. You, in tum, might want to share it with the kids. There's mean- ir\g behind the symbol, and this week is a great tune to appreciate our rich history. The colors and pattern of the American flag were cho· sen purposefully. In 1777, the Marine Committee of the Second Continental Congress decided that "the flag of the United States be 13 stripes, auemate red and white" and that "the Union be 13 stars, white in a blue field repre- senting a new constellation.· Red was chosen for hardi- ness and courage. White rep- resents purity and innocence. Blue stands for vigilance, per- severance and justice. . The stripes represent the 13 original colonies. M states were added to the Union, or canton in flag-speak, stars were added to the field of blue. The configuration of the stars has evolved from circles to stars to rows . . During the Civil War, Pres!· dent Abraham Uncoln stood firm that the American flag not be altered in any way even though there was considerable presswe from the southern states to remove their stars from the w:lion of the flag. In 1912, the contiguous 48 states were represented on the flag. The 49th star was added for Alaska in 1959 and, in 19M, Hawaii, the 50th state, was included on our national symbol. Some basic flag etiquette includes the following: • The flag should never touch the ground. •The flag should be hoist- ed briskly and lowered cere- moniously. • The flag may be flown at night if it is illuminated; oth· erwise, it should be lowered at sunset • To fly the flag at half-staff, the flag should be hoisted to ~ top then lowered to the appropriate JX>Sition. . • A frayed flag should bf! destroyed in some digni- fied way: preferably by burning under the appropri- ate conditions. • In a parade, when a national flag is carried with other flags, it should be on the marching right. • In a conidor or lobby, hang the flag ver1;fcally oppo- site the main entrance with its union (or canton) to the left of a person coming in the door. • Beside a speaker, the flag should be In the position of honor on Ute person's right. • In a window, hang the oag vertically with tts union ((jallton) to the left· of a person who ii seeing It from the out- Qde of the building. • A national flag should be appropriately folded before atortng. 1be nag lbouk1 be folded twice Jengthwile to form a long strip. 1ben. start· tng at tbe ttrtped and.

The tastes of Young Chang DAILY PILOT I l's hard to understand just why the wing of the Eastern spotted skate being grilled by chef Jason Niederkorn is a summer selec- tion. On the silver stove, it appears to be just a fillet of fish without seasonal ties. But once Niederkorn lays the fish at a tilt on a little bill of lime, red and orange garnish that comes Crom the farmers market JUSt an hour away, he completes a sum.mer scene using Mother Nature's vegetable colors as his paint and a large white plate as his canvas. The yellow French beans, wJuch are actually a faded green, and lhe part orange, part red heirloom cherry tomatoes.ripen best in the sum- mer, the chef said. Combined with the skate wing, which is lighter and leaner compared with other fish, the entree becomes a cool choice for hotter months. "In the summer time, we ha" e more options as far as produce,• said Niederk'>m, who is the sous chef operating under Aubergme's execu- tive chef. •And the more produce and vegeta- bles we use, the lighter the food will be. A lot of A lighter touch at the stove i s required, say area ch efs, w h en the days get hotter the dishes that we make from June and July are impossible to make in the winter.• Area chefs agree that the sum.mer heat calls for a lighter touch, which is why some restau- rants offer either summer menus or limited-time summer selections. •And I know, obviously, everyone's trymg to feel better about themselves m the summer,· said sous chef James Coffey, from Roy's of New- port Beach. One of Coffey's recommended summer selec- bons is the dynamite crusted Austrahan lobster tail ln a cold soba-noodle salad. "It's in probably like a benito sake broth.• said Coffey, also a sous chef. •And it's got dyna- mite crusted lobster tail on top of that. It's nice and cold and light.• Cold and light are words that Chef Alan Greeley, the principal chef and owner of the Golden Truffle restaurant in Costa Mesa , also TUVEL TALES tries to incorporate when it comes to his summer menu. Greeley will even freeze a salad only to have it melt in olive oil later. He also serves soups that resemble ice cream One recent choice is the Darush-mspl.Ted chilled cherry with vanilla passion fn.ut sorbet It's a soup, Greeley said, not a dessert. Another soup is the cold sorrel and yogurt, served with garlic toast, a Sicilian dish •And we have for years done a tomato salad with what we call a cucumber ice Vlildlgrette, • Greeley satd. ·u·s land of a cool presentation • He puree cucumbers and vmegar freezes the nuxture. lddies a scoop of 1t on a salad and then pour!. olive otl on 1t. wtuch melts the concoction nght on the plate and leaves llttle ice chunks Other items at the Golden 1Tuf0e includes Greeley's la coupoule, a chilled seafood platter When 1t comes to warmer seafood dishes that are gnlled. broiled or fried, the chef said the summery-ness happens mostly in the sauce, which includes a lot of ollve oils and sea salts. Coffey agreed. "I know dunng certain regions where it's too hot out, you don't have too many heavy cdlone sauces. It keeps you refreshed,• he said.

City manager and city are to be appreciated First I would like to commend and thank the city staffers and City Manager H omer Bludau for their efforts to continue a long- standing tradillon of having lhe Fourth of July firew orks display at the Newport Dunes Wdterfront Resort ("City fireworks attempts fail to spaikJe, • Tuesday). Those of us who live here in N ewport and tile many visitors who have enjoyed tile show over the years are deeply disappotnted, especially in these times when the celebration of our freedoms and independence have a profound significance. I gather from reading the arti- cle that the initial issue of liabili- ty doesn't sound like the ortly reason the Dunes refuses to allow the display to continue thts year. I might suggest since the Newport Dunes Waterfront Resort doesn't seem to have much regard for the concerns of the community, that perhaps anyone planning on attending their events on the Fourth might consider enjoying festivities elsewhere. Perhaps next year, all parties involved can get together and resolve thil issue and the commu- nity may have a little more say w hat can and cannot happen in their backyard. H.

FAIR FUN 'It's kind of fun for me to look al the fair through my kids' eyes because I think that's what p eople are goin g to want lo be doing. So, the carnival f or my kids is always -you know, the turn-the-stomach 'kind of rides are always the first one.' T he Orange County Fair will return to the fair- _grounds on July 12 and will sffck around through July 28. Every year, it seems the fair breaks attendance records and attracts bigger entertain- ment names. This year should be quite similar, though with a few upgrades to security as a result of Sept. 11 . On Thursday. City Editor James Meier visited the fair- grounds to discuss the 110th annual event with new fair board member Leslie"Teddie" Ray, a Newport Harbor High School graduate and Laguna Beach resident. What got you started on the la.tr board? M y husband 1s a real activist, dnd he's been involved tn politics all of his life. We've been involved 10 supporting and raising money for Gov. Davis for about -Michael's been doing it for about 20 years. A long time. · So this appointment came up, and since I grew up around here and I feel that this is such a familiar thing, I thought *I wdnt this.• So I applied. What's so excitmg, the best part of being on the board for me, is we love riding horses. And we're hop- ing to expand our equestrian cen- ter. The new fair bodrd 1s !>O excited about having community dct1vibes on the site, and w e're looktng for an off-site equestndn center. Those things can tie in, from dn educa- tional stdndpomt; w1lh the agricul- tural, environmental and conserva- t1onal issues. If we could have that use for this site, it would be so muc'h more encompassing than whdt it's kind of known for now. What ar e the chances of the equestrian center moving to the former El Toro Marine Corps Air StaUon at this point? It's so new, but we've put m d letter of interest, and we're waiting to hear lrom that. We're stul looking at all of the poss1bu1t1es. That would be so perfect -right up agdinst the Cleveland National Forest with miles of trails. What would replace the current site here? Right now, Cenlenn1al Fdrms sees about 60,000 kids a year on school trips, and they learn. With the urbanization of Orange County, we're losing all the agncuJtural land. kJds don't know how lhmgs are grown, and it all relates to bad nutrition, too, because they don't know that things can't come out of a manufactured bag. So this is a learning thing there. Then we can sh!It som e of the more equestrian and ranchmg sort of education over on our site here. We'll still have our trarners. We will be scaling down the equestrian cen- ter, but we're still gomg to be doing commuruty programs here. But dnother site would give us -espe- cially at El Toro -miles of trails. It could all be interrelated wath con- servation, land. environmental issues. It's a very exciting part. What are the chances of the fair moving to El Toro? Oh, I don't know. This is such d landmark. Thi'> 1s d smdll spdc.:e for us. We Cdn't do everything thdt we want to do, and if w e Cdn gel c;omP place like El Toro or other po'>s1b1h- ties lo move some o f these other programs that need more sptJce. I lhmk that's the future here. Do you know we're involved 10 the master plan? So wf''re going to have that phdsed. and we're g oing to g o real slow because ir we dre able lo move some of the educa- tional programs out there, 1t mdy do wonderful thmgs on how w c> lay this property out. What do w e have to look for - ward to this year at the fair1 It's krnd of fun for me to look di the fair through my kids' eyes because I think that's what people are going to Wdnt to b<• dorng So. the carn1vdl for my kids LS alwdys - you know, the tum-the-stomach kind of rides are alwdys lhe first one But w e would not ledve the fair ever without seeing thP baby aru- mdls, the baby pigs at C'entenmaJ Farms -the livestock area. Also, the luds can show the animals that they've grown and raised, and lhen they're sold. That's so gredl for city kids who don't have an opportunity to see farm ammals. There's petting zoos, petting areds. That's aJways great. The pig races will bP near Cen- tennial Fdrms. There's d Ribb1l Exhibit th1:1t's all about frogs dnd reptiles. That's gomg to be really fun.

Stew Virgen DAILY Pit.or . MISSION VIEJO -On the way to the first no-lutter of tus young life, Newport Beach Little League pitcher Michael Bloom broke an unsaid superstitious rule because of two simple reasons. He trusted his teammates. He was confident in his pitching. Bloom, who talked about the no-no before the final inning, completed a no-hitter with 10 strikeouts and three walks, leadmg the Newport Beach AD-Stars AAA team of 9-and 10-year-olds to a 10-1 vidocy over the South Mission Viejo All-Stars Saturday at Youth Sports Park in Mission Viejo. Newport Beach earned its first- round victory in the District 55 All- s'tars Tournament with the help of a six-run second inning, and the all-around defense from Bloom, Michael Borchard (first base), Blake Thomsen (second), John Christian (third), Sean Tokuyama (shortstop), outfielders Nick Ramson. Chns Freeman and Parker Werline, and the catcher, Joey Booth. "The defense helped me a lot,· said Bloom, who also stood out at the plate, cranking out a double. a single and two RBis. "(Alter the final out, I thought), I just pitched a real good game." Sloan said his fastball and a.uve were the pitches that were working for him. He also used a wicked changeup among the 76 pitches he threw. He worked fOW" batt6' to a full count and struck out three of them. He also assisted on three putouts at first. and reb.red the Side in order in the third and sixth innings. •Michael was so fantastic,· Newport Beach All-S~ Mandger Bart Thomsen 'Ml.id.
