"They want every square inch uf available Ooor area and every square inch of available height within our codes." she said. "They want them as big as they can get." Diminutive i1..c and aged electrical wiring in De I Cbesebro's Park Avenue beach cottage led to his decision to rebuild. "Basically we were looking to live on the Island and looking for a place that would be desirable," Oicsebru sald. What he found was a 600-squnre·foot lot with no garage. 8ujlt in \921.

He knew his life was one no family man would dream about But he did it because it was good money and it was fun. And because he lived and brealhed it. Ken hardly took any days off work. When he did, he went trout-fishing wilh his son to lrvine Lake. He had a dry sense of humor. He made people laugh wit.hour cracking a smile himself. He did have a distinctive laugh which almost sounded like a caclde. And he laughed oft .. 11. So when people heard that c.aclde, they knew god was on board. Ken's personality almost assumed Hemingwayesque proportions. He was much like Ernest Hemingway:S immortal protagonist in Old Man and tl1e Sea l le had I.hat indomitable spirit and an undying larger· than ·life optimism, which to many. seemed truly superhuman.

"Everybody was upset with me when I tore it down." he said. "Once I built I.he house. everybody loved the house.'' DONE WITH THE VACATION The trdflsition from petite to palatial began in the 1980s. said Bromberg. who is Otesebros neighbor. "For many years [Newpon Beach! was a sleepy beach town.· he said. "It was always a vacadon spot for the rich and famous.-· That's why the cottages were so small. Bromberg said. They were vacation homes. so people onJy used them a few limes a year and expected to come ln dripping wet and wilh san dy feet. In I.he mid· I 970s. people started using their beach houses year round, so I.hey wanted a littJe more room. h e said. lWo-story houses sprang up around town, and in the mid· I 990s •architects became very creative" and figured out how to get three-story homes In under the maximum allowed walk the 3.2-mlle course. ~11 was really long."

This caused strife wilh neighbors who had kepi I.heir conages. They felt the "mansionizalfon· of nearby houses was taking up I.heir air and light. he sald. About a year and a half ago. the controversy over larger buildings became a public issue when someone on Balboa Island sent out an official-looking survey that appeared to be from I.he city. Bromberg said the survey asked residents a handful of questions about whet.her they favored Lhree story homes, if they thought the maximum roof height should be lowered. whether construction was getting out of hand, and so on. About 350 surveys were returned, and Bromberg found I.he results interesting. While many people said they liked the conage atmosphere, they also noted the community had changed. "The same people who did not want to see three s tories were saying, 'Please don't Interfere with our property rlgtlts. It's for us to build what we want as long as we're doing Ir within the code:· he saJd. Their parents just shook their heads and smiled. "I forced them." Patti Stanley said. •1t wu good for the be· cause they could walk together and get through It. I ran It and It W1lll fun.. Brian reminded hla mother that It waa only fun for her. The question of whether to rebuild com es down to its effect on the community. Bromberg and Tem ple both said It does change things. But people aren't usually worried about the loss of I.he homes themselves. Temple said. And while Bromberg said he's concerned about losing the community's history. he's In favor. of property owners' rights. ~It does change the character of the community." he said. "However, if it's done tastefully. just because it's bigger doesn't mean It's bad." Otesebro sald people on the Island aren't against any building -I.hey just want co see something appropriate for the island. "The residents are really behind anyone that's going to build a hom e that's an aMet to the Island,• he said "The problem Is getting them to understand that lls an asset before it's built." • AUCIA ~covers buaineu, politics and the environment.

Still, the whole notion really has left us scratching our heads. Invocations by clergy are nothing new In America. The U.S. Senate begins each ~n wtth a prayer from a sanctioned chaplaJn and city councils and school boards across the land have begun thelr meetlnp wtth a few words from a cleric, sometimes peppered in sectarian language. for decades. Indeed. when our national leaders are i.·wom into office, they put their hand on the Bible. the hollest of Chrisuanity's books. Sdll. the debate rages on in the courts over the separation of church and state. Tht-new Newport Beach policy was born after a court ruling in the case of Ruhln v,. the city of Burbank. In that c~e. the late activl'lt Irv Rubin sued after a chaplain invoked the name of Je~us Otri t in hi~ counclJ lnvocation. The courts agreed with Rubin and said that becauM! the chaplain made sectarian references to Jesus. the city was ln violation of the Establishment Oause of dle Flrst Amendment that says "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof .... " The rule al Newport Be.1ch Ory Hall now is no references to Jesus or Allah or Krishna. but just generic references m God. And city leaders took the a1.'tion 10 avoid legal entanglementi. down the road. which we Wlderstand. What we don't understand is. who are v.-e fooling here? If a Jewish rabbi or a Ouistian minister or a Buddhist monk or an Islamic imam say a prayer and makei, a reference to God. Is there going to be any confusion ~ 10 which God he or she is referring? We are not inclined nor equipped 10 begin arguing such maners of church and state. Bur we know a little something about the First Amendment. and the judges in the Burbank case need only read the next line of that amendment that orders Congress also not to make law "abridging the freedom of speech. ... " And that is what has happened here in Newport Beach. Someones references to a sectarian God has become so offensive that ii must be barred. Former U.S. Secretary of State Madeleine Albright said it best "Religious Liberty -the freedom to proclaim a religious identity and practice it without fear -Is an aspiration and an Inalienable right of pe<>ple everywhere. When practiced wt th tolerance, it can be one of the k~ to a stable, productive society. But generations of hatred may be sown when it is delayed or denied." If indeed there are to be Invocations at city council meellngs or wherever government gathers. we have a hard time understanding how restrictions can be put on that speech. Mak;ing the speech hland and vanilla serves no purpose and docsn'I fool anyone. We say It's better to have no Invocations than to have one shad<led by the heavy d.Jctates of government censors. Again, we have a failure to communicate T here is a deftnire problem at Newport Heights FJcment.ary School and it fall~ 'IQUarely on the shoulders of everybody uwolved In the rehiring finsco. This problem is an overall lack or communication and di!JdO!>-ure. All that can be confirmed is this: teacher Shannon Jay was hired as a substi1u1e for a first -grade teacher on maremity leave; that 1eacher decided not 10 l"l'tum; Jay left the school: parents feared she was unfairly dismissed anti rallied to get her rehired. P.nt.angled In the facts arc venomous rumors. calls for ~gnarioru.. administrative scunylng and Wlfounded allegations of divisiveness and conspiracy. Like we said, there b a real problem here. Blame can be doled out to Newport-Mesa Unified School District officials who refuse to c.tl5cuss detal.ls of Jay's d~w by u&lng the popular excuse of a "personnel• Issue. State law calls for the protect1on of specific, personal and private detail• regan1i.ng an employee. But that doesn't mean the law &erves a.11 a catch-all for anything that government officials might deem to fall under the wtde umbrella of a personnel matter. But that Is what hu happened. n1e district has kept even the most general pal11culars of this incident under Ioele and key. leaving the public and the press. guessing as 10 what really happened. As a result, word of mouth has run rampant. with rumors and conjecture being treated as truths. Those wtth children al the school seem desperate to pin the predicament on somebody and Newport Heights Principal Judith Chambers is that somebody. Oi.ambers resigned her position this week. Those who have specific claims against Olambers are not willing to attach their names to their convictions. which Is no better than the lack of disclosure from the district And those who have spoken publidy, heave vague charges IJJIJ. <lon't seem to relate directty to the Jty~t -giving an impressJon that those who wanted Olambers out of a leadership position are using the rehiring fiasco as an attack point Pardon \1' if that representation Is off·tar'g'et. but It is hard to formulate lnfonned opinions wtth no ~lid lnfonnation. If administrators. teachers and parents really want to fix what Is wrong at Newport Heights it would behoove everyone Involved to quit hiding behind Olmsy safeguards and participate In honest, open communication.

J ust a day after working his second Super Bowl as an NFL side judge, Orange Coast College soccer coach and teacher Lalnl Hayes went back to school to start the new semester. On Friday, walking from his office to the football field bleachers for an interview with the Pilot's Mike Swanton, three passersby, Including two players, congratulated him for working a great game. WThis has been happening all week." Hayes said. "l Jove it." Before the formal interview began, Hayes managed to get in a Jew words about his quarterback and receiver camp for kids and the new soccer field at OCC that he expects to be "EngJish Premier League-quality." Before that, he was teaching a surfing class from 8 a.m. to noon just east of Lhe Newpo rt pier. With the footbaJJ season finished, Hayes can't begin to think about taking a break. but he doesn't want one anyway. Where'd you grow up, what brought you to Newport and what got you started with omclatJng'l I grew up i11 Santa Barbara and I did all my schooling in the public school system there. Graduated from h igh school in '67, played football. basketball, baseball. was Involved in student government. played in the orch eslra on campus. When I went back to Princeton. I played very little freshman football. but I played baseball for four years. first year on the freshman team and then three years I was 1he backup catcher on the varsity team. Then during the summers, I used to go down 10 Mex.ico and help my mom. She ran a conversalional Spanish tour down to the inner part of MeX"lco. Toole American kids who wanted to learn conversational Spanish and called it .. July in Mexico.~ so that's how I spent my summ ers, and surfed a linJe bit in Santa Barbara. Went to gradua1e sch ool at UCLA and finished there in five years. I worked in the residence ~aJls and did a lot of intramural officiating and at Princeton, I officiated basketball my junior and senior year just to pick up extra money and get some exercise. My dad suggested, when 1 came out herl! 10 grad school, that I do high school basketball, which had never really crossed my mind. So 1 joined th,e L.A. Basketball Officials Assn .. and through that. met a core group of people that eventually came in contact with through the NFL. The first basketball game I ever reffed was a frosh /i.oph game up m Pasadena. and the other official was a guy named Dale WiJliams. who's worked two or three Super Bowls. He's a head linesman in the NFL now, so the first high school event I ever did was with a guy now that I officiate with in the NFL. When I got hired here at Orange Coast in 1976, I joined the Orange County Football OfficiaJs Assn. because I U1ough1 football would be a gas. You know, working Friday nights, high school varsity games -that was my goal. Never even thought about going hJgher; that was for other guys. Then l got h ooked up with some people who officiated in the Pac· IO and so I thought. 'That'd be lclnd of cool.' so I just started working my way up. Frosh/soph games, varsity games. then on a h1gti school varsity crew. then junior college games and being here at OCC being hired as an administrator, and I got to know through all these meetings all of the assigners for the different sportS. They started assigning me probably before I was prepared or qualified to work. but that's the way life kind of works. I did OK. clid some JC games, and then one my buddies who was a lifelong referee in the Pac· I 0 thought I ought to consider applying to the P-dc-1 O. so eventually I got into the Pac-I 0, in I 9il3. and then it wasn't uutiJ 10 years later that I gut on a crew in the Pac-I 0 ....

MARK C DUSTIN I DA1LV P1LOT THE BIG EASY How do you play baseball without a third base? C ommunity college sports took a pretty big hit a few days ago with the announced cutbacks in schedules. but I must admit, rm not especially surprised. Money is the bottom line. and sports in the world of academia, often takes a backseat unlel.s it's paying its way. And when it comes to paying its way, it's pretty hard 10 find any sport on the community college level which can lure paying customers to even approach breaking even. But r don't lhinlc that was ever the idea for JC programs. The key. I believe. was In terms of participation. The decision by the Commission on Athletics on the state colleges to cut back was apparently made 10 months ago, but just now we are learning of the ramifications. whjch ._____... ____ _, just now is in the middle of the ROGER process of trimming CARLSON a 101 of the basics. Supposedly it's on a one-year trial period. Which sounds a lot like "temporary laxes." And. they'll be making more decb1ons in a few days about the future. In football. the preseason scrimmage has been deleted. They had an "in-house" scrimmage this past fall, but going up against a legitimate foe was done away with , apparently 10 accommodate a week's exlension in the playoffs. Am I missing something here? For the last 50 years I have been led to believe the scrimmage was something 1mponan1. The haseball schedules have been cut to something like 36 games. instead of 44. Softball schedules are trimmed by '.JO%. All other sports schedules by 15%. The playoffs appear to.be the real victims in all this. In many ins tances they have been more than halved. It is designed 10 cut down on expenses. as in officials and travel. AIJ of this seems pretty grim, and making mailers worse Is the prospect of the future, which could well produce further cutbacks, such as size of squads. or the sport itself. It happens from time to time on the college level, such as football at Cal State Fullerton and Long Beach State, even baseball at UC Irvine for a decade before they were able to get it back a couple of years Ago. Whether Its the college, or community college level, unless the sport Is paying its way as ln football or basketball, athletics commands a respe<..1 onJy from those willing to give II the respect it deserves. Others lp the decision-maJdng process, have their own viewpoints and are quick to put sports on the kill list of priorities. Unfortunately. on the JC level, breaking even In any sport is not Ul option. And, I would presume, sports Is not the only Item undergoing trims. It's a dilemma that has been there since the glory days of the 'OOs, and before. When Dick Tucker and his Pirates were fllllng LeBard StadJum they were the toast or the town. But this WU long before televtaion and pro sports wouJd flood fans' opdons. In those days~ had the Los Angeles Dons, the Hollywood Stars. destruction 11 · SooEAIY,Pop83 \ --- EYEOPENER .Daily~POOt.
