When you are a kid irra place where "cold" does not mean forty degrees, you pray for snow. There are two reasons for this. The first is that snow is fun. Does that require a lot of explanation? I dldn\ think so. The second and much. much more important reason is that if it snows enough. schools will be closed.

Bw at the sam e moment, I knew we were under attack because I knew something was wrong.' Debor1h Hamm.tt PHOTOS BY MARK C. DUSTIN I DAILY PK.OT The Hammett family has witnessed two of the greatest tragedies In U.S. history. Deborah, left, volunteered at Ground Zero in New York after Sept. 11, 2001 . Her father Jack, right, was stationed at the United States Naval Hospital Pearl Harbor with his wife Mary Jo, center, when Japan attacked on Dec. 7, 1941. We will never forget Two days that lived in infamy, sixty years apart from one another, are forever a part one family's life. While volunteering at Ground Zero, Deborah Hammett was issued this respirator and badges to wear. People were not allowed in the disaster area without special badges from the city of New York and the Salvation Army. Deirdre Newm1n Daily Pilot I n an Instant, Deborah Hammett's life began to m irror that of her father. The 47-year·old was In New York City on a business trip when two planes. commandeered by terrorists, struck the World Trade Center. Surrounded by so much devastation, she felt compelled to help and spent three days at Ground Zero. Slxty years earlier, her father, Jack Hammett, was at Pearl Harbor when the Japanese bombed the naval installation on the island of Hawaii, drawing the United States into World War II. A.a a Navy hospital corps man, he had the gruesome job of iden tifying the dead, with a break every four hours to perform triage on the wounded. The actions of both father and daughter ln the aftermath of national tragedies illustrate their commitment to their country and their courage In the face of adversity. "I didn't know my daughter was [ln New York! until she called me," Jack Hammett said. "She steps right in and got a lot of charge and I'm very proud of her." THE DAY OF INFAMY Slxty-two years ago today, on the morning of Dec 7, 1941, Jack was in bed with his wife, Mary Jo. The house they lived ln was 10 miles from Pearl Harbor, high atop a hUJ, with a view of the harbor. Jack. who was 20 at the tim e, wu off-duty that weekend and was surprised tu get a knock on his door at 7:55 a.m. TOP STORY It was his landlord looking for the rent. Jack handed It over and as his landlord walked out the door, he nonchalantly mention ed that the Japanese had just attacked Pearl Harbor, Jack Hammett recalled. "I was standing around ln my skivvies," he said. "We looked out toward Pearl Harbor. I think the Arizona had already gone (d own.) There was a tremendous explosion and overhead were Japanese planes circling." Jack Hammett jumped into his uniform and commandeered a truck to get a taxi down to the harbor. He found a cab with five other Navy personnel and rushed toward the harbor.

Lopez Daily Pilot ·p or those with a question about where c.osta Mesa tw been. and maybe even where Its going, on·e place has the answer: the Costa Mesa Historical Society. Fonned in 1966 to support the Diego Sepulveda Adobe hlstorlCa.t 1and.mait. the historical society began a lifelong commitment to "promote and preserve" the history or Costa Mesa. on the past to future generations. Soon l<>dety members found that preserving history meant the need for 5torage space beyond the use of private homes and garages. . The adobe, also referred to as the l!stancia. was officially dedicated on Aug. 28, 1966, largely due to the dedication of the core group who promoted this undertaking with local service groups and Interested community members. In 1981., an answer came from the dty of Costa Mesa. The city agreed to lease a 4,000-squa.re-foot building to the society. but before they could move In, they had to move out. literally. In order to obtain the building the society had to move it from Its original site on Adams Avenue to Its planned home in the historic downtown area located at the comer of Anaheim and Plumer streets. With a place to call home, the historical society continued to preserve local history and assist residents with their search of history as well. COURTESY Of THE COSTA MESA HISTORICAL SOCIETY Costa Mesa Historical Society board meeting adjourned to Pink's Drugstore for soda and ice cream in 1979 shortly before Alvin (Pink) and Lucy Pinkley retired and closed their store. Having received its charter just one month before the dedication, the society began giving tours soon after the dedication and its own history began to unfold. Using the Estancia as the jumping off point for their group, tbe historical society began harboring other activities as well. Members pulled together historical photos, many of which are the only evidence of the early history of Costa Mesa. To help -increase interest in local Ristory they brought in speakers to pass "People want to know the history of their houses." said Archivist Mary Ellen Goddard, and society members help them to find the answers. The society participates in annual events like the Fish Fry and the Orange Cow1ry Fair. - Members publish a local quarterly to keep residents informed of their history and sponsored three books written by Edriclc MJ.ller that cover various aspects of area history. As it heads into their 38th year, the society continues to provide tours of the adobe. It also long has been commlned to the future of the community, having establishing. in 1969, an annual scholarship fund awarded to an Orange Coast College history studenL One area of recent focus are the people who were and are a part of Costa Mesa. ·one of the kinds of things we're trying to find (is thel historical djversity [of Costa Mesal. including Hispanic.

Pierre Baldi, a computer soen- tist, and Wesley Hatfield,"a micro- biologist, founded the institute about I 5 months ago. The institutes goals are closely linked with the U.S. Human Ge- nome Project started 13 years ago by the U.S. Department of Energy and the National lnstitutes of Health. The project's primary goal of identifying all the 30,000 genes in the human body has been suc- cessfully accomplished. This type of research. in addi- tion to knawtedge of biology, re- quires computation skills as well, said G.

But a 339' boost to Costa Mesa Planning C.Ommissloners poclcetboob may not be what's good for die city. There is no doubt that commissioners are invaluable, but in a year ol cut bacb and a hiring freeie at C.OSta Mesa City Hall and budget de6dts Jn Sacramento and labor strikes in the private sector, the Oty C.Ounctrs off-the-cuff generosity seems a bit misplaced. On Monday the council unanimously agreed with Mayor Gilly Monahan's suggestion to up commissioners salaries by $100 per month. taking thelr pay from $75 per meeting attended. with a cap ol $300 a month. to a ftat fee of $400 per month. Commissioners will now get $400 a month regardless of if they attend meetings and even if there is only one scheduled. as there will be this month since the council canceled the Dec. 22 meeting for the holidays. Both the council and the Planning Commission took pay cuts in 1992. The council reinstated its previous pay for its own membenJ in 1998. 1bls pay increase brings the commissioners back to the pay they enjoyed in 1992. Bumping those up would seem to tndlcate sttang economic times. And while the economy has ~from the last couple years of slowdown the coffers are by no means overflowing. And even though in the grand scheme of thingl we're not talking a lot of money, Ifs ju.st the timing. What about bumping their pay up lo $100 a meeting? That way they are getting a boost for the service rendered and not just getting a $4,800 annual salary. That would also raise the cap per month from $300 to S400 without spending as much extra money. And where does it stop? Next the Parb and Recreation C.Ommlssion ls going lo wonder where their pay hike ls. And what about all the other commissions in the city that residents volunteer to serve on? Soon they may ask where their money is. Sometimes public service should be just that Planning commissioners clearly do not perform the thankless raslc for the pay. but because they care about what happens in thelr city. For that. we are grateful, as are many other residents Jn this fair city. though probably not enough of them. Still, there is a dme and place to be handing out more money and raises. Right now just doesn't feel right Giving must' not be forgotten this season 0 n your marks, get set ... Wait. everyone's already gone. The Ouistmas shopping season is oftldally more than a week old now. The wallets are well-used. The purses are pooped. Presents are hJdden away In closets. garages and basements. And theres more to comi So much more. It all speaks to the great benefits of life in Newpon-Mesa. While the rest of the country struggles economically. this area avoids bubble bwstl.ng. When real estate prices across the state and IM country continue to d1mb. steadily and surely. rul estate here shoots through the roof and b!eps ongoing.

F.rniy: Share seven d\ildren and four grandchildren We have been decorating ow home since l992. We would decorate a small Ficus tree that I had given my parents on their 50th wedding anniversary in a pot in the front yard with lights and ornaments. Next, we put up the wooden candy canes my dad made in lhe '70s.. I began to create "yard art" (oversize figures) for every season in late 1994.1 desjgned a Santa and an angel in 1996 and we made ice cycles from strands of lights we had! Much 10 out surprise, we won first place in the Ring of Ugh ts. We were hooked. The next year I designed a Olristmas tree dress out of green tulle, decorated it and added banery operated lights. That was a hill Week 3: The dock and the boat. Wrap the railings with red plastic candy cane effect. ice c.ycles around the dock house. Bow lights and swag!; around the railing. On the dock roof a border of new heavy duty lights and hoist the Ughted Christmas tree onto the roof of the dock. Down the ramp with red wrap on the railing on the dock set up the seven-foot blow up Ouiscmas 1ree and reindeer. New thi'i year, Ughted candy cane arch. Then comes the tug boat: Ice cycles around the hull, blow up soldier and Santa. large shiny ornaments. a lighted tret! on the stem. lighted wreaths on each i;ide. And •BaJboa Pole" sign on the side. f..ach year we vary our placement of decorations. We draw up a plan and change things all around We add more lights and anything new that we think fits!

One was when Edison High School lost one of the most respected coaches you can Imagine, In Don Leavey, a coach acknowiedged In every direction as one of the most prep~. dedlcated and knowledgeable around. Unfortunately, he had a sixth man who was a junlor point guard. and his dad was certain he was destined for the pros. or blg·time coUege at wont. A. a senlorJte wus a starter for the Cllargers, but, despite being a good kid, he created little lnterest In college scouts, other coaches or the press, and was hardly an all·league candidate. let alone an all·league selection. Dad, who had been livid since his son's time as a junlor on a nightly basis, dedicated him.self to one thought Get rid of the coach, no l'TlJltter the expense. And to my amaz.emeot. one ct..}' Leawy called me to o.nnouooe he wu ret1rlng &om the game. '"l just can't take It any longer,• he expla.lried of the · lnaunnountable pressure which had been applied aa the parent hounded b1rn and the admlnlstration on a day-In and day-out basis. Making It an even more memorable d.ra.unstance was that I bad once known th1s parent OD an entirely dltrerent basis. He and I were co-workera, our wives knew one another, we played poker and baby-sat our flrstboma while doing It. and enjoyed each other's company. But that was a long dlne ago, we went our separate ways and junlor grew up to become a point guard at the Huntington Beacb·bued hJgh school. Wt! talked a couple of times on the phone after junlor . joined F.dison's basketball program, but there were no more poker games. I saw his son play three or four times, but never quite saw a rainbow. When It was over and done, the coach packed It in and junior failed to catch on with an appropriate college. dad called me and said some of the blame was mine, that I had failed to promote his son properly, had not contacted any schools to his knowledge to let them know what they were missing and had generally failed his son In every way. I never got o chance to congratulate him on successfully getting the coach at E!disoo to resign. That was In 1978. Another that still resonates was the time In the early '90s when Newport Harbor High failed Its responsJbllltJes to a very strong and dedicated coach named Bob Serven, who. In my opJnlon, hu always put teams on the Ooor which played above expectatJorui.. Serven had the misfortune of having the son of a standout fonner player from our area who went on to considerable glory. In this case junlor was a staner, had been since he was a sophomore, was the team's leading scorer and clearly the Sailors' game seemed to live or die on his shooting prowess. Unfortunately, the Sailors died, a lot When the kid clicked, occasionally, all was wonderful. And If not? Serven was doing something which Interfered wlth the rhythm, or something. according to dad I never couid really figure It out Perhaps no one else was supposed to take any shots, at all. Even at a 30% shooting rote, he'd still be castJng off. At any rate. dad was certain his son's future was being wrecked by the coach, and eventually the admlnlatradon fulled Its coach. 1uccwnblng to the parent'I pressure. and Serven became a former RUNNING Newport Harbor coach who went on to ~ta Marprlt.a Hlgb'a ultra succ:iesaful program and 11 presently the ftrebmnd at Costa Mela. When It W8..9 aver at Newport Harbor I wrote a column. very sympathetic to Serven and the drcumltances, which brought dad to the phone, demanding a meeting with me. So, myaelf, my editor, BW Lobdell, and dad, sat down and the latter proceeded to lay out a list of complaint& Finally, I said, "Well. you've got him fired. Just exactly what else do you want?" And he said, "I don't want you writing an)'t.Wn8 good about b1rn. • He was also put out that he had been "ldentilled" ln a story. I wrote of an "upset parent." with no ldentiflcatJon given •Everybody knows who you're talldng about. You're talldng about rne.• he said. Tu my knowledge, junior did not play any collegiate basketball, at all. Fortunately, Serven was able to bounce back and condnue a respected career. Dale Hagey. a fonner Newport Hart>or High basketball coach, offered thls advice when he ftnlshed hls tour as a roach for the Sailors ln 1975: HAlways,H said llagey, "make sure your boosters club president Is the father of your best player." It's not ne<:essarlly a guarantee, but, certainly, a step In the right direction. • •• Add Newport Hart>or-St. Paul, circa 1978: Further, and corrected.

It was St Paui, 7·3, at halftime, not 7-7 as I, and Coach Bill Pi7zlca. had recalled.
