Students suggest policy· changes Zero-tolerance rules are among those that a group of high school juniors and seniors want altered. Chrlatln• C•rrlllo OailyPilot NEWroRT-MESA -The school district's r.er6-toler- ance policy ls among the rules that a group 'of jurtiors and seniors would like to see changed. 1bat request was among many from students from four or the district's high schools presented to New- port ·Mesa Unified School Board members last week. after months of trying to find a balance between dis- cipline and student behav- ior. During that time. the stu- dents from Newport Har- bor, Corona del Mar, Estan- cla and Costa Mesa high schools conducted two town hall meetings that drew crowds of students, parents. community mem- bers and school officials to discuss Issues concerning the district's Student Con- duct Polley. They hope that the trustees will review and possibly adopt the recom· mendations for the 2003·04 school year. "When we're all working together, we can achieve really great things.• said Phil D'Agoatino, a teacher at Newport Harbor who helped the students organ- lu their recommendations. "It's been a really great process for all of us to be involved with.· One of the key changes the students asked the board to make was to en- sure that parepts were bet· ter informed about the of· fenses and consequences contained within the policy's alcohol and drug violations section. The members of the stu· dent committees also felt that their peers didn't fully understand the policy. They · suggested the board institute peer-to- peet education, ln which stUdents in upper grade levels woUtd serve as men- tors to their younger counterparts and warn them of the policy's conse- quences. They also suggested that each campus have an over- sight committee, com- posed or administrators. students, teachers and par· ents to review board deci- sions and act as an advisory board representing the In- terests or the students. "It's very important that the kids have some part in this, because I think that they probably look at it dif. ferently than we do,• said Llrida Sneen, a school board trustee. "Sometimes I think we're belng too harsh, but we have to fol · low the policy, and that's why I was so excited about revising it." Although some board members expressed con· cem about how such com - mittees might hamper the students' right to anonym- ity, they agreed that the idea is a good one. While school officials said they will need to look more carefully al each rec· ommendation. they added that many of the recom· mendation.s could and should be adopted for the new year. "These kids are smarter than we are sometimes," Sneen said. "I have to give them a lot of credit because they're really in tune. I'm thrilled that they're In· volved." The board will revisit the students' policy revisions mid-June. @]~ 50% OFF Topiaries, Potted Ivy & Orchids Home Decor • Furniture Mon·Frt ICM; • Sat 1().5 • Sun UM 369 E. 17th Street 113, Costa Mesa• (949) 646-0745 (Across from Ralphs) GET IN SHAPE Jom the Uolvenlty Atbletlc Club Make ntnes1 a Part of \'our Ltfestyle I...\'iVr IN WEIGHT ~CAADIO f"m.lus EQlnPMEHT CoMPl.JMmnA&Y fn'NW Cou'NSWNO RAOQU'IBAtL -$QUA H -HAH1>aAu. -BAS T8ALI.

The Centerline route through Costa Mesa would enter the city from Santa Ana from an elevated position beaded south on Bristol Street.and then tum onto Anton Boulevard. After a stop on Anton, it would begin going down to at. grade near Sakioka Drive and continue at-grade until just be- fore MacArthur Boulevard and Maln Street, where it would be elevated again. Costa Mesa officials and busi- ness representatives had hoped the authority would at least study the underground option again. Their main concerns with an elevated route include a loss of surface parking, loss of lane capacity and significant traffic and pedestrian issues based on tbe line's proximity to major free. ways and commercial centers.

With Robinsons' deaths, Bae~ Bay has los.t its best friends The Back Bay has indeed lost another longtime friend in the passing of Frank Robinson. But both he and his wonderful wife, Frances, will be long remembered and much loved by those of us who take such pleasure and are always amazed in our precious gift of their dogged determination and vision. Thank God for people like the Robinsons whose mettle in the face of giant corporate power has not only given us a pface uplifting to our souls, but has given a much-needed refuge to the harried migratory birds, local endangered species and the myriad of fish and crustacean species whose breeding cycle depends upon those brackish waters. Thank you, Frances and Frank, and may flights of shorebirds sing thee to thy rest. WALLACE WOOD Costa Mesa Fran and Frank Robinson will be sorely missed by the community I first met Frank Robinson while completing an assignment at Cal State Fullenon. He graciously agreed to serve as part of a panel for a radio program. and spoke as eloquently and passionately to me and for the program as he undoubtedly had the first zillion times he related the details about Upper Newport Bay's proposed development. It was 15 years before our paths would cross again, when I joined the Newport Bay Naturalists and Friends. There was Franlc, attending our classes and delivering the history portion of the tour for the Friends of Newpon Bay, as enthusiastically as ever. I invite anyone and everyone 10 come by the Interpretive Center or contact the Daily Pilot and share their favorite stories about Frank.·One man, one woman, one couple, helped rewrite history. Together, they helped to make a difference. The fact that Franlc and Fran were two of the sweetest people to walk the face of the Earth was icing on the cake. AMYUTION Costa Mesa C.osta Mesa is not anti-business, rather it is pro-resident I'm writing ln response to the letter from Mark Les regarding the Kohl's project. l was one of the 25 people who spoke against the location of the Kohl's project. The City Council clearly stated in their motion the legal reasons and cited municipal code sections for denying the project. ln addition, they more than adequatety addressed the traffic study issue. I applaud Mayor Karen Robinson and Councilmen Cluis Steel, Gary Monahan and Allan Mansoor for listening to the community who sent letters, spoke, and signed petitions against this project location. A project this size at this location would cause a significant quality of life Issue for the residents of Costa Mesa. I suggest anyone take a drive around Costa Mesa and then teU me our City Council is anti-business. Within a 3-to 5-mUe radius of my Halecrest neighbor. I have Metro Point, Target, Home Depot, South Coast Plaza, Kmart and Home Ranch. not to mention me.ny more small retail businesses. Councilwoman Libby Cowan's comments that we live in an wbanlzed area and should accept traffic a.s a way of life were appalling. Before the Oean Water Act and Qean Air Act, I guess we should have accepted polluted water and filthy air as a way of life, too. The message the City Council sent that nJ.ltht lan't ~frightening for our property values and future for the city." It's a blessing that we have a City Council that recognizes the value of nelghborhooda and the quality of life for lts residenu, which translate lnto a better community.. Each City Council member clearly stated the reasons for denying the project, which included cumulative lmpacts, traftlc and general plan inconaittenclea.

( lcnow who I'll be voung for in the next City Council election. EDWARD MAZZARELLA Costa Mesa Council listened and made right decision on Kohl's project In response to the letcer by Marie Les (MStrictly anti-business." Saturday). I m ust question a few points. Regarding the Kohl's project on the site of Kana Lanes. because ll is legal. or fits within the guidelines of the cities limits, does not make it right. There is no question that such a project would create a larger traffic problem than we already have in this area. The topic of the 99¢ store was brought up. Remember this: The 99¢ store only occupied an existing, vacant building. Nothing new was added. Using Les' own numbers. as I did not count them myself as I watched, you have to question something. Twenty-five of 28 speakers were against the project. Two in favor of the project were residents who backed directly to the Kohl's project and received some sort of concessions fro m Kohl's; this they admitted. The other in favor owns the shopping mall directly across the street from the project and is cen am to gain a large visual Impact from the prospective Kohl's clients. I have to question if they are really in favor of what is best for Costa Mesa. I find it odd that nobody anywhere in the city was there to speak in favor of the Kohl's project. The directive of a City Council is to listen to Its city residents. If that was not done at the last City Council meeting, I would question what listening really Is. The council did its job: listen to the residents, decide what is in the best interest of its residents and make a choice based on that. I applaud the City Council for standing up and making the proper choice. TOMSIMRAK Costa Mesa Too bad council didn't vote the same way on Home Ranch I wu pleasantly surprised to hear that the City Council voted against the proposed Kohl's project ln the Mesa Verde Center. If Kohl's ls such a wonderful company, I suggest that they open a store ln South Coast Plaza. That la where Costa Mesa residents go when they want to buy the products Kohl's offers. The Mesa Verde Center ha~ been revived <J\er the past 3112 years. I make every effort to c,1ay away from big, box-type sto re~. I am also getting tired or the argument that we should not interfere with an qwner's right to develop their property. Becau~e we live in a "community." we mu~t also consider che nghts or tho~e affected by the development. While I was momentarily able 10 enJOY the vote on the Kohl's proiecL. the reaJity is I wished the City Council had the same attitude when the Home Ranch project was on the table. BARRY SAMUELS Costa Mesa No Kohl's department store. no matter the future of Kona Lane Whether or no1 there i~ a Kona Lanes, we are strongly opposed to Kohl's. definitely unequivocally opposed to building the Kohl 's in that location. FRED ARNOLD Costa Mesa Other council debate!> were more troubling than Kohl's Although the City Council did a great service to the community by rejecting a Kohl's at the Mesa Verde Center, I was troubled by a debate on program funding that occurred late Monday night. It's no secret that Councilmen Allan Mansoor and Ouis Steel would like to cut funds aimed at low-income residents. With residents like Martin Millard, who on Monday complained because a city-funded program had too many Latino students, there's certainly a fear that extremely beneficial programs like "Save Our Youth" may be in jeopardy. Let me just say that I've seen what some of these programs can do to help our local youths. It's sad that some residents and council members would even consider eliminating such programs, as they have given numerous teens and young adults higher education opportunities. I! these critics are serious about sweeping up our 1treeU, then they should recognize . that it's better '° have a young adult go on to college rather than having him or her hang around the local convenience store. ~ MICHAEL DIAMOND Costa Mesa ICE HOCKEY SPECIAL Strong play keeps Ducks • scoring • EDITOR'S NOTE: As a special feature. Guy Hebert, a Newport Beach resident and former goalie for the Mighty Ducks, will be writing regular diaries about the team and its experiences throughout the playoffs. T he Mighty Ducks won agam on Saturday and showed their resiliency as they came back against the Stanley Cup Cllampion Detroit Red Wings to lake a 2-0 lead into Monday night's first home game. Down a goal with six minutes to play. Jason Krog took. a great pass from Rob Niedermayer and walked m alone GUY HEBERT on goalie Cunis Joseph. Krog went forehand 10 backhand and lifted one top shelf for the game rymg goal. Just as everyone was preparing for another overtime game, the Due~ struck again for the go-ahead goal. Who else should have 11 been but Steve Thomas? The 39-year-old has been rejuvenated since commg to the Ducks. and his ~coring touch has been reignited Another great pass from Niedermayer as Cllris Olelios stepped up at the blue line sent Thomas in. He walked mto the top of the face off circle and blasted a low slap shot that slid under goaltender Joseph. ln playoff hockey. that is the lund of goal that a goalie cannot afford to let in, and from Joseph's reacuon, he new just that. At the other end. J.S. Giguere was stopping JUSt about everything the Red Wmgs could throw ar him. For a goaltender. there is nothing better than being able'to gam an edge on your opponents and having them believe that onJy a perfect shot or a perfect pass play will beat you. Giguere has cenamly placed that lo.nd of doubt into the Red Wmgs heads. Being able to continue to frustrate the Wings' offense will cenamly open up some more scoring chances at the other end of the ice for the Ducks. The success of this team will continue to rely on strong goaltending and the ability of the team to keep a good gap in the neutral zone to avoid oumumbered attacks. They have done it well for the first two games and will have to continue if they want to advance to the next round. If they get caught trying to match rush for rush against the Wmgs. that will play to Detroit's strength. The Ducks again were strong defensively and did a great job with matching Steve Rucchln again.st Federov's line any time they got out there. Rucchin has once again continued his strong performance and with his leadership. the Duclcs should continue with their strong play. In looking at this team and trying to determine who the most valuable player has been in this aeries so far has been a no-bralner. It's probabty not who you would expect me to pick.

Newport Beach assistant city attorney gives advice to city commissioners, who will each decide whether to recuse themselves from votes. June C•H1rande Daily Pilot NEWPORT BBACH -It's no surprise that every one of the seven members of the city's Harbor Commi~oo bas an economic interest in the harbor. What's surprising, is . that. after com;ulting an expert in tbe field, the com- mission will still have a quo- rum to vote on measures af. fecting charter boat operators and fire code vio- lators in the harbor. Hired counsel Dana Reed last week gave commission- ers a crash course in avoid- ing conflicts of interest and compiled a list of each com- missioner's economic Inter- ests in the harbor. MThe commission was pro~ vided a little more informa- tion and detail on what their responsibilities are and how to determine whether or not they have a conllict," As&lst- ant City Any. Robin Oauson said. But, in the end, the com- missioners will decide whether or not they should recuse themselves from vot- ing on Issues close to home. For example, Commissioner Ralph Rodheim decided to recuse himself from voting on the fire code matter not because he believes he has a conllict, but because he wants to avoid the appear- ance of any conllict, Rod- heim said. ·0ur boat rental business in fact does meet all the fire codes, so I don't believe there would be any contlict," Rodheim said. Rodheim owns and is president of Boat Rentals of America lnc./Balboa Boat Rentals. In February, the fire mar- shal reported that perhaps half the commercial boats in Newport Harbor are ln viola- tion of city fire codes. The codes require the boats to be docked In such a way that, lf one caught on fire, someone coulcl quickly move it away from other boats and struc· tures. To tackle this problem. the commission was con&Jdertng a vote to send gentle waJll· lngs to violators. But· the matter was removed from the agenda last month after Qty Atty. Bob Burnham rec- ommended that the city consider whether commis- sioners bad conflicts of in- terest. After hearing a primer on the matter, commiaaioners Rodheim, Paulette Pappu and Marshall Duffield all decided to t'ecuse them- selves on the fire code issue. The other commissioners all decided to vote on the matter. Commissioner Tun Col- lins, who might have con- tlicts on some issues because he ls an equity member of the Newport Harbor Yacht Oub, said be didn't believe that this constituted a con- flict on fire codes. "We appreciate the city at- torney looking out for us lib this, but on the other hand, it's frustrating because we were brought together for our experience and expertise on the harbor," Collins said. The com.mission will also have a quorum to vote on ways to rein In charter boats that some city leaders be- lieve have become too nu- merous in Newport.

To my delight, these intrusions would sometimes induce a smile, or, better yet, prompt him to share one of the myriad memories he had stored away in a treasure trove of experience that covered pans of five decades. In the days when our paper went to press in the same building. Roger. like a child on Ouistrnas eve, would insist on hanging around the extra hour after deadline, so he could pludc a fresh copy of the n~ day's paper before heading home. It was during these intervals, always after Friday night football games as I recall, I would stick around, often leaving just the two of us.
