Timing is everything.
When photographer Don Leach was assigned to cover
the story on the French exchange students leaving Newport
Beach on Friday, it was to be a portrait-type phqto
sometime ln the morning. But with the morning swamped
with assignments, we rescbeduJed it for the last moment
possible, just before they headed to Los Angeles'
International Airport.
DON LEACH/DAILY Pl.OT
So, when Don arrived, everyone was saying goodbye and
bidding fareweU. "
With emotions running hJgh, there were picture
opportunities everywhere. The timjng was perfect.

D ·CRYSTAL COVE . . . . .
STATE P
everal weeks ago, a ne.w, intriguing proposal was unveiled
as an alternative to State Parks' plan for an RV camp
where inland El Morro Village is today -next to El Morro
Elementary School. If you believe, as many do,
that thiS creative proposal deserves thoughtful
consideration, then read on -and get involved.
YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
Public opposition forced the Parks Department ·to
·withdraw its plan for a high-end that uld
haVE~ scuttled historic
· cottages at Ciystal -
Cove. Recently, the
Department made
changes to its plans for
El Morro -in response, it
said, to public
concerns. The
changes, however,
are modest. Among
ffiem are "guidelines" to
restrict RV campfires during
school hours. The RV camp
still is on schedule -d~pite
opposition from Laguna's PTAs
and concerns of the City.
THE "99 P.ERCENT" SOLUTION.
ANEW
.,GREEN
FUND."
The new plan would help fund 99 percent of
Crystal Cove State Park. The new plan would
substitute an affordable vacation hostel for the
RV.camp and also provide funds to
help enhance public access,
improve water quality, and restore
the Crystal Cove cottages, wetlands
and other natural resources.
Funding would~ be tied to a final
lease e~ension for residents of the
inland portion of El Morro Village
-which is less than one percent
of Crystal Cove State Park.
The new plan wo~ immediat.ely provide Laguna
Beach with 50 new, two-bedroom apartments for ..
emergency response and public safety persormel
.
as well as local teachers, artists, seniprs, c.µld others
the City decides should qualify. There would
be no cost to the City. The new
apartments would be inside
the existing footprint of inland
El Morro Village -where over
time the City would control all
the inland residences there
now, which number 222, plus
the 50 apartments .
Here's what some of your neighbors are saying about the new, alternative plan
for El Morro Village and Crystal Cove State Park ...

M. aybe the rocks. the

and waterfalls have
never existed in the
world as they do on
Ve-Na CJlen's rice paper paintings. But
they don'I have to.
That is the beauty of Otlnese brush
painting.
• "The Chinese look al everything,
filter it through their mind and put it
on paper,n Oien said. "It is not
necessarily what you see."
Sometimes a Chinese artist uses
calligraphy to explain the poetry of
the mind, she said. And sometimes
the pictorial Chinese characters are
paintings in themselves.
Olen's love of art was inspired by her
fathei:, an avid art coDector. But when
she announced her dreams of a career
in art. he!" father brought her back to
reality.
"You can't find a job. You will be
starving," he told her.
Medicine was a more practical,
acceptable choice, so she studied
biology. She moved from China to
Taiwan, and now lives in Irvine. She
has retired as manager of the student

Olen still teaches at the Fine Arts

• One day four years ago, an
enthusiastic 76-year-old woman
showed up for Olen's class.
Ruth Blenz from Zurich,
Switzerland, was looking through the
newspaper and saw an ad for a
Otinese brush painting class.
Blen.z always loved to paint, but her
father said, "No, you must be a
teacher."
She became a good teacher and a
passionate musician. She taught
classical guitar and chamber music,
performed ln num'erous concerts,
operated a day-care center and taught
kindergarten. Now retired, she still

October to April.
Far from home and without a car,
Blenz took a taxi to attend Olen's
class. After progresslng past the basic
level, Olen started golng to Blenz's
home to give private lessons.
"I am happy that I found Ms_ Oien.

Now at 80 years old, Bienz teaches
brush painting to-private stuc,jents in
Switzerland -friends who became
fascinated with the ancient Olmese
art form.
Chinese brush painting is different
from western oil and acrylic painting.
Using different paints, dJfferent
brushes and delicate rice paper that
shows every stroke, the artist must be
disciplined in body and mind.
As artists tend to do, new
generations have experimented with
interesting combinations of styles and
culrure. While Olen has een the
changes over the years, she prefers the
traditional approach she was trained
in.
"Both techniques can be combined
to make more beautiful paintings and
an. Maybe the whole world can
combine into one. Who knows?" she
said. "We exchange knowledge. why

After dutifia.uy fdllowing her father's
advice, Olen, now .in her late 60s, can

W hen the C.Osta ·
Mesa City C.Ouncil
discusses a
project, the public
may attend that
meeting. When the council
discusses an employee's
performance, the meeting is
closed to the public. These
concepts are simple, really.
Does it get 3:"Y less simple when
a council-appointed committee
meets to discuss how to distribute
$2 million in public money? No.
The public should still be able to
attend the meeting. After all, it's
the public's money. and it's a
public committee.
lt's so simple, yet two
fouridations that the City C.Ouncil
created two weeks ago do not
have ta abide by the same
open-meeting laws that the
council must adhere to.
Thal law, the state's Brown Act,
requires that the public be allowed
to attend meetings of public
decision-making bodies. The only
exceptions that would leave the
public out of the meetings are lack
of a quorum and discussions of
pending litigation and personnel
issues. Those talks are private. •
The City C.Ouncil created two
foundations that will decide how
."O '·
to distribute $2 million in Home "
Ranch Development Agreement
funding to three C.Osta Mesa
schools -C.Osta Mesa and
Estancia High and TeWmkl.e
Middle schools. But even tpough
the funds belong to the public and
will be used for the public's
benefit, the foundations do not
have to abide by the Brown Act.
Mayor Karen Robinson, a lawyer
for the Cal State University
System, urged her council
colleagues to apply the Brown Act
to the foundations, but ended up
losing that argument.
As she said then, "It's a matter of
law, not a matter of trust."
It's also a matter of perception.
Sure, meetings may be open to the
public; but at the same time. it's
not necessarily illegal now for the
foundations to meet privately.
It would behoove the City
C.Ouncil and the foundations to
ensure the public that the use of
its money, is open to public
discussion. So keep these
meetings open to the public and ·
make it extremely clear to the
public why some meetings have to
be held privately.
The public deserves an open

'
I t is well kno~ in city hall
circles that there is a ..
significant learning curve for
new council members. Some
suggest it can take a year or two
for fresh faces to learn all the ins
and outs to be effective leaders.
As a result, blunders, missteps
and asking more questions that
other council members are the
norm.
Still, the first few months of
N~rt Beach City Councilman
Dick Nichols' tenure have had
more than the typical amount of
slips and mistakes. That is slightly
worrisome, but understandable.
Nichols' l~test gaffe. however,
comes close to crossing the line
from misunderstanding to
something shocking and, in-the
words of Nichols' colleague Tod
Ridgeway, "repulsive."
At last week's council meeting,
Nichols -a staunchly
conservative Republican -
questioned the politics of the
speakers at the library's
Distinguished Speakers Lecture
Series, suggesting the
"left-wing-leaning" group be
tilted more to the right to reflect·
residents' more conservative
views. Ridgeway, along with
Mayor Steve Bromberg, rightly
poWlce.d on this suggestion,
which smacks of totalitarian
control and the worst impulses of
people .;_ on the right or the left
-to Um.it speech and debate
{something that the country's
Founding Fathers also found
.. repulsive .. and led them to pen
the First Amendment).
In Nichols' defense, he was
under the misimpression that city
funds supported the lecture·
series (the city. only puts money
toward administering the series'
accounts). And his argument was
to seek a "more equitable" lineup
of speakers. "[The speakers)
should meet the median of the ..
community," Nichols said.
But, still, that is little defense
for a suggestion that a .
government lasso free thinking,
For -and this cannot be
stressed too strongly -the
speakers at the series shg\Md.in
no way meet the middle of the
community.
What makes th.is series such a
success, and such a notable
component to Newport's fabric, is
that series officials seek out ·
timely and thought-provoking
speakers. They. are not people -
who are going to be preaching to
the Newport Beach choir. Quite
..fhe opposite.
And quite as it should be.
To think the series -or, by
extension, any public sj>eech-
should be otherwise is a
troubling characteristic,
especially in an elected leader.
Nichols, who on other issues
such as the future of.the Port
Theatre has kick-started

Striking out at Kohl's proposal
AT ISSUE: Plans to demolish Costa Mesa's Kona ·
Lanes and replace it with a department store.
Yes, it is a shame that the lce.Capades
Oialet is now defunct. Yes again, the
movie theaters were outdated. But
you lcnow what? Those were kids'

I was very disappointed with the
Costa Mesa Planning Commission's
decision to recommend approval of
the Kohl 's department store. I live in
that area, and I think a department
store would bring too much traffic to
the already congested H¢or and
Adams intersection~ The streets
leading into and out of the parking
lots of both the Target shopping
center and the Mervyns on Adams in
Huntington Beach are very congested.
Orange Coast CoUege and the swap
meet already generate ph:nty of traffic
during the week and on weekends. It's
difficult to cross Harbor and Adams to
go to the 'Mesa Verde Center now, and
this store will only make It worse.
I also don't think Costa Mesa needs
another depanment store. In this
economy, we should support the
stores we already have and not build
another large building that may soon
be vacanL I have never found myself
saying, "Gee, l wish I had yet another
department store within five minutes
of my house." Where does the
Planning Commission th.ink all the
people to support that store will come
from?
I'm glad the residents on Ashwood
were asked for input. That's the way
,things should be done. May I suggest
the residents also talk to the people
who live behind Target and Home
Depot to bear abo'ut problems they
have had. One resident on Ashwood
aaid that be observes loitering in be
area behind his house, and that a
. landscaped buffer with a 6-foot-wide
pedestrian wallcway would be an
improvement. It occurs to me that
that might encourage more loitering
and create security issues.
And laady. I agree that .
•famJJy-friendly" businesses are what
la needed at the Mesa Verde Center.
Being able to walk or ride blkes to the
mgvies again, watch the kids play Ice
bockey and bowl a few games at a
(efurbisbed Kooa Lanes would really
improve the quality of rue in th.11 part
of Costa Mesa. I bet my netghbonJ on

On Feb. 22, the Dally Pilot reported
Mcity planners have recommended
denial of the Segerstroms' plan to
build a department store at the Mesa
Verde Center.· On Feb. 26, that report
changed to •the Planning
Commission's decision to bring Kohl's
to the Mesa Verde Center." I am not .
readily co.nvinced· that a 6-foot-wide
buffer could sway homeowners to
believe that this could minimize the
effect of an enormous building next to
their home. I have been to a Kohl's in
New York. It is K.-Mart, Target, lJ ·Man
-the names are interchangeable.
One might ruminate that ·a store of its
caliber in that location would affect
the value of the adjacent homes -no
matter how wide the buffer walkway.
Costa Mesans should not conform
to the lowest common denominator
when It comes to commercial and
public land use. We do not need
another place to shop. We do need

Adminlstrator Piny \Wantlne only
to be OYertWned by the Plannihg
C.Ommission or Oty C.Ouncil. Much
of the debate over such projects has
rested on the phrase "harmony and
compatibility."
City Editor Jamel Meler wanted
to learn a little more about this
concept. as well as the differing
opinions on the projects, so he
stopped by VaJantine's office at Oty
Hall on Wednesday.

Well. I think that thinw; changed in
about fall or last year where, as zoning
admhlisttator, I beg;.l.o denying a
number of applications for second·story

and hannoniou,, with the
netghborhood. and I was doing that
from the standpoint of what you see on
the street -front yan1s. In about ran 6f
last year, we received a petition from a
group of homeowners on the ~de
that fdt that there was another aspect of
compatibility that we \'Yerell'
considering. which was what was it
doing to back yards of these residents.
Where they have alleys in the rear is
different than on properties where they
don't have alleys. Basically, your back
yard Is further forward on the lot
because the garage is at the rear along
the alley. So, they presented the City
Council with a petition requesting that
an overlay zone be estabHshed for their
tract to change the way we k>Olc at those
~ In fact. that WdS continUed from
Monday's Planning Commission
meeting.
ilimcil asked us to go ahead and
study that request. As a result of the
awarenes,, now of thb concern on the
part of a large nwnber of residents OYef"
there, I started looking al new
developments from the standpoint of
not onty what It loolcs like from the
stteet. but also what it looks like from
the ~gbbom' rear yan1s. And that's
where I scuted denying some because
of the feeling that It did dose in those
rear yards somewhat and provided them
a little less of an open feeling in their
rear yards compamf to a standard R-1
property that doesn' have a garage alley
in the rear.
So that's when the percentage of the
approvals from the wiling admumtrator
reduced. I would ~A number of those
were appealed to the Planning
Commission and some uJtima1efy to the
Oty Council. In one case. the project
was redesl8Jled so lha1 they got out of
that rear yard area. and I uldmately
approved that redesigned project. The
other cases. they were gieoeraDy
OYertlaned by commimoo and coundl
and were apprcMd.
It's not ao much a question of a
diff:ereoce of opinion between a zoning
adndnurraim and commis.Wn or
COUDdl. but a mans of sdD trying to reel
our way through wba1 does compatible
and hannonlom redy mean. It's
unfom.malely not m eJa(:t IClmce.
Ma)'be it'1 fonunale that it'I not an exact
acieoce. IR a rather aabjecdve thing.
& evideoced by eome of the
contnMny and the difratog posidom
at the public beadngs, dlel9 ue at least
two dift'emd ways of 1ookfn8 at a project
as to whether it Otl or domdt ftt. and It's
just a matter of trying to get enough
experience with what the1corrununity
feels is appropriate and what the
Planning. Commission and Oly C.Ouncil
feels is appropriate to give us a comfort
level that we're going in the right
direction.
Well. we have a set of residential
design guidelines that articulate a
number of design features that we'd like
to see in a project Basically, we don't want to see boxes that go straight us on
all four sides. We want .some variation in
the wall plans and roof treatment There
are a couple of specific numbers in
there. The second 6oor shouldn't be
more than 80% of the 6rst floor. etc. But
those are just guidelines..
We've denied some where the second
8oor has been smaller than that and
approved some that were larger than
that It depends on how the design is
done.
So I think we use as guidelines -I
think the ultimate finding we have to
make is if the project is harmonious and
compatible with the neighborhood.
The genesis of this whole process
came from really two different areas.
One was a project in Mesa Verde where
a house was added to that was just too
large and out of scale with the
neighborhood. The other ~ a roncem

But I think they've all given some
guidance as to what kinds of things they
feel are appropnate and important And

Former Fountain Valley
AD celebrated 80th
birthday Friday.
Bryce A,tderton
DailyPilo1
T hat sport, whatever it was, at
that exact moment, was what
Ken Ouddridge put his entire
heart into.
The 43-year Costa Mesa ~ident
and founder of the prestigious Five
Counties Wrestling Tournament.
lettered in five sports (football,
basketball, track and field, baseball
and tennis) at Claremont High before
getting into teaching physical
education and coachJng at the prep
level, when he also presided over
multiple activities.
"Whatever sport that kid
participates in is just as important to
him as another sport would be to
someone else." said Ouddridge lasr
week .prior to his 80th birthday. which
he celebrated Friday.
Ouddridge Was the athletic director
at fountain Valley High during its
heyday in the 1970s, when multiple
school teams excelled.
He retired ln 1983 from Fountain
Valley after 33 years teaching and
coaching.
·1 tried to make all coaches.feel their
sport is important," Duddridge said. ·1
didn't lose that many coaches and that--
ls lmportanf, to stay in the program."
Before his stint at Fountain Valley.
Duddrldge coached and taught at
Westminster. Huntington Beach and at
Campbell High in Northern California.
where he unexpectedly thrust himself
into the wrestling world.
The wrestling coach at Campbell
suffered a heart attack and the school's
athletic director asked Ouddridge to
take over and a newfound love was
born.
•I learned everything I needed to
about wrestling and we won the
Northern California championshlp
before I left,• Duddrlclge said. '"What I
liked about wrestling was every kid,
regardless of al.ze, had an opportunity.
J got down there with the guys.~
Duddriclge said it was easier to play

school because ·the sports didn't

today.
