The top 1-0 stories of 2002 JW A settlement extension still up in air 1 The biggest story of the year continued to Oy right above everyone's head, with ho landing in sight. At the beginning of 2002, an extension of the John Wayne Airport Settlement Agreement seemed quite close, when county supervisors ten tatively app roved the addition of row flight.gates. 12 of the noisiest fllgbts and 2.1 million pusengen in early February. •tt sends a wry strong messaae to the aidlnes and the (Federal Aviation Administration] that ewrybody is together on tbia issue,• Newport Beach City Manager Homer Btudau said at the time. The need for the extenalon turned crudal on March 5, 1fheo county wten.lhot down plans for an airport at the closed El Toro Marine Air..._ 2m2 That vote started a string of events that have all but the most ardent pro-airport believers almost 100% sure an airport will never arise on Irvine's ou tslcirts. So, by early December - nearly 10 m oot.ha after an ~ent seemed set - supervisors approved another deal that in.ltead added aix gates and 3 million passengers over the current agreement After both the au pervisors and Newport Beach City Council members signed off on the agreement Dec. 10, offtdals awaited word from the FM that the deal would avoid legal scrutiny. AA of S.:turday, the FM bad yet to 1e11d the ftlued word of boooc. Most o{ the year in Newpon Beach was apent wodcing oo sealing the 1985 settlement agreement's extension. At the same time, though, city officials were successful in extending the nighttime curfew restrictions at the county level. Instead of expiring in 2015, they'll stay in effect until at least Dec. 31, 2020 under the supervisors' deal in late June. The settlement agreement extension again appeared closer in late November, when Rep. Orris Cox met with Marion Blakely, the FM's new leader. "This is the No. 1 wue on my local agenda," Cox said then. ·r made it clear to the FM that we must extend the curfews and other noise restrictions at John Wayne Airport." .

Another $392,310 that was supposed to build a sheriff's substation to serve Newport Coast reportedly improved the Aliso Viejo substation. Another curious accounting: Though residents, through bond lssues, paid $40.3 million to build 6.1 miles of Newport Coast Odve, they were only reimbursed $3.5 million when the locaJ transportation agency took possession of one-third of the road to make it part of a toll road. By the thinking of some resident leaders, a third of the road should have been valued at about $13 million. While Newport Beach J~ers wodc. to solve these mysteries, they are also facing some other issues for Newport Coast Maintenance of public areas that pose pot.ential fire haz.ards have been a bone of contention: Both sides disagree on who is responsible for financing and overseeing the work. And the one issue that seemed to be most neatly resolved still has 'a few thorns.

(/ EDITORIALS Costa Mesa needs to fight study of bridge at Gisler J ust as Costa Mesa was simmering down.from the fervor caused ~ a city committee reviving discussion of a bridge at 19th Street, Fountain Valley city leaders built up the rancor further this month by requesting $500,000 in grant funding to study design and environmental possibilities for a bridge at Gisler Avenue. Costa Mesa residents and officials alike reacted with sh ock at the news, which goes against popular opinion and officiaJ collaboration. The 19th Street bridge and the one at Gisler exist on county plans, though they have had almost no popular support in any of the surrounding cities for years. The plans are so unpopular that leaders in Costa Mesa, Fountain Valley, Newport Beach and Huntington Beach have been working with county officials to find aJtematives to the unpopular bridges. Thus the surprise that Fountain Valley wouJd suddenly change direction. And while officiaJs from the other side of the Santa Ana River argue that there is no reason for Costa Mesa residents to be upset, spending any time or money on a route other than removing the bridges from county planning is reason enough. The downsides to construction of a bridge at Gisler Avenue (as well as the one languishing on county maps at 19th Street) greatly outweigh any benefits for Costa Mesa residents or businesses. The bridges. according to the vast majority of people and most experts, would serve only as high-speed aJternatives to Pacific Coast Highway, Victoria Street and Adams Avenue. They will not bring more business to the neighborhoods around those streets. Costa Mesa pfficials, therefore, would serve their constituents well by fighting -whether politely or more intently, if 11ecessary-any work to have these bridges built That city leaders seemed relatively nonplused by the news, once the initiaJ shock wore off, is encouraging. They need to remain focused on what's best for C.Osta Mesa And that is not more ways across the Santa Ana River. Beach upgrades need input from residents I t's onJy appropriate that residents near Corona del Mar State Beach have a say in what improvements Newport Beach officiaJs make to the beach. After all, they're the ones who Uve in the popular tourist and strolling area and have to deaJ with the facilities 365 days a year. But just because residents have the option to speak their minds doesn't mean they will. The 1st Amendment means a lot around here, though; and we believe residents would be remiss if they failed to take advantage of this opportunity. There's about $1.17 million in the improvement pot and, most likely. not every project will get a share of it, so residents must urge city leaders to spend the funding on the beach's most worthwhile efforts. · The architects Newport Beach officials have hired, Robblns Jorgensen Olristopher Architect, have an idea what Improvements are needed as the city surveyed residents about a year ago. But that survey will help the architects create a survey of their own. The beach needs more restrooms, a lifeguard station, a new concession building and more parking areas, the city survey found. These are known needs for the beach. More may exist. but city officials and the architects they're working with need to hear about them. So please make it a point to get out there and have your suggestions known. The only reason the city has much of this money is the result of a settlement from the 1990 American Trader oil spill. The area's residents suffered through the spill and should get the most out of its settlement. THE lAST W0RD . .

Dec. 16). As a grandmother who was educated in the 1950s, who had children in the '70s and grandchildren in the '90s, I can tell you there have been enormous ( changes in our public sch ool system. Unfortunately, In spite of advances in about every other area of our lives, our children's educational system has experienced a decllne. Who and what Is to blame for that? It certainly is not individual teachers, as most of them are every bit as dedicated and intelligent as in the past. There are those who are quick to claim the fault lies in the home because parents do not take enough interest in their children's education to help with homework.. etc. Maybe that is a factor, but then parents iil the '50s weren't all that involved in their child's schoolwork. either. Schools took responsibility for enforcing rules', and part of the educadon was in making students themselves responsible for their choices. I believe the Daily Pilot has touched upon one of the main problems in the public schools today: the teachers' union. It has become extraordinarily powerful, and the leaders of the organization are quite liberal, as are those who make educational decisions in Sacramento and Washington, D.C. The teachers' union has the money to lobby elected officlals to be sure they support its goals. Problems have been created by the new liberal agenda. Many classrooms have been turned into chaos beca1,1se teachers' hands have been tied regarding disciplining. We must not hurt their fragUe egos. The moral values that once were woven lnto the curriculum have been replaced with liberal ideas, which amount to social engineering. Proven , ; .; programs such as •pbonics"·wer~" • thrown out and replaced with experimental and inferior ideas. \ ·~ · Mathematics. language and histot)' have all suffered a similar fate, , , , resulting in the "dumbing down· " of our students. , • • When a conservative begins to ~ "" speak out against the powerful ., ·, liberal leaders of our education ·, · system. they bave been attacked. 'r' Their ideas are ridiculed, even though they are actually t.be very 11 ~" ones in place when the education \ system of America was a bcacon.01 light to the entire world. The messenger of such information i~ '·1 branded and bartered with titles r. ~ like "self·righteous right wing.· u'· used in I\ letter to the Pilot in . reference to former school board '~·. member Wendy Leece. ''•' Kudos to the Daily Pilot for printing articles that force public'\ ' debate on an extremely lmportani I Issue.

PORUM Sooday, Decent>er 29, 2002 A11 SEAN HILLER I OAJU PIL 0 T Building bridges and stopping some Peter Naghavi, Costa Mesa's transportation services manager, looks to solve the city's travel woes in one way or many others T here are always transportation issues in Orange County, especially now that the popuJation has grown to more than three million people and counting. Solutions continue to be sought. whether it's by building a tunneJ through the mountains to travel between the county and Riverside County or by creating a light-rail system that aJJows commuters to leave their cars at home to go shopping or to work. In Costa Mesa, the latter has been suggested and city leaders are urging county transponation officiaJs to consider putting the Centerline rail system underground through the city. It's an ongoing issue that will continue to be discussed for years to come. A transportation issue Costa Mesa officials would rather never bear about again concems bridges over the Santa Ana River at 19th Street and Gisle r Avenue. Both bridges were put in the county's master plan during the 1950s. Much has changed since then, including the aforementioned population influx. Now Fountain Valley has suggested that the Gisler option be studied and, again, Costa Mesa leaders are more than hesitant On Tuesday, City FA.itor Jamee Meler stopped by Costa Mesa City Hall to discuss such issues and other construction projects with Peter'~ the dty's transportation aervlces manager. there, but ye1 we have allowed so much development because of them . 1bat is why the city wanrs them removed once and for all so that when we consider all of these development.. and traffic studies, we have' a more realistic view of what it will be like. A.t some polnt about three years ago, I remember Banning Ranch was going to have 2,400 houses there. This ~ assuming there was golng to be a 19th Street bridge. Without it, they probably would have approved many less houses. So those are the types of problems we have. Just the notion of this coming up recently has actually moved the two cities [Fountain Valley and Costa Mesa) further apart. Just that just come out of the blue? I received a telephone call from an individual and then I contacted the city of Fountain Valley's traffic engineer, as weU as the city clerk. to receive copies of the staff report and, sure enough, it was there. I couldn't be.Ueve it that after 10 years of worting cooperatively to come up with a consensus to do something about this, all of a sudden we hear that the city put iron the council agenda. In my opinion, it's just ff'WaSte of taxpayers' money. I was really taken with the lack of communication. I was hoping that at least professionally they would glve us the courtesy of just contacting us to let us known it's happening.

With former ua standout Jerry Green looking, on six players scored in double figures for the Anteaters, who shot 62% from the field in the first half en route to a 96-79 noncon- ference victory over Indiana-Purdue, Fort Wayne in front of 1,997 Saturday night start. UCJ forwards Stanislav Zw:ak. and Jordan Har- ris both came off the bench and led the Anteaters (5-3) with 18 points each, while redshirt freshman Ross Schraeder con- tributed a career- b.igh 15 points in his first collegiate UCI 7-foot jlUl.ior center Adam Parada scored 14 points, also in a re- serve role. Freshman Mike Pievberha added 13 points and freshman point guard Jeff Gloger scored 12. ua had shot a season-low 339(, from the field in a 62-50 win at Saint ~ary's, and 38.2% in an 84-57 loss at Stanford last week. "It was good to show some ftow to- night, but we know we have to come back stronger on Monday," UCI Coach Pat Douglass said. "Ross Schraeder gave us a lift starting the game. And, It was good for Parada to score 14 and grab eight rebounds and not get into foul tro4ble in the 23 minutes he played.• Schraeder started in place of Harris, who missed practice on Ouistmas night, Douglass said. Schraeder scored the Anteaters' first five points, including a three-pointer. ua con- nected on its first four shots to grab an 8-0 lead and never looked back. Efevperha nailed his third three- pointer in as many attempts with 13:47 left in the first half to give the Anteaters an 18-9 lead. Then. ua went on a 12-2 run, capped by Harris' two free throws for a 27-11 lead. The Anteaters hit 7 of 9 from the three-point line in the first half, as Fievberba and ~er knocked down three each and Parada added one. Harris and FJevberha both said they enjoyed the Anteaters' shooting performance but did not like their de~ femfw play.

Barry Faulkner Daily Pilot COSTA MESA -An early 10-7 lead disappeared first, then the comfort wne with which the F.stancia High boys basketball team had been playing in recent weeks. Finally, the Eagles' nine-game win- ning streak slipped away as Trabuco Hills claimed a 58- 54 semifinal win in the Estancia Coast Oassic Saturday night on the Eagles' floor. Though the win- ning skein and the chance to play for Trabuoo Htlll 58 EIQneaa 54 the tournament title fell away, the Eagles, by virtue of a valiant rally that cut a 19-point deficit late in the third quarter to a 54-52 disadvantage with 37 seconds left. may·have rediscovered the competitive level they'll need in Mon- day's third-place game and beyond.

"I don't know what we were afraid of," Sorce said of the tentative play against a physical and active Trabuco Hills man-to-man defense. "We were very rushed and that's not us.
