hether it’s UC Irvine’s library being
used as a futuristic ape training center (“Conquest of the Planet of the
Apes”), Tony Stark confessing to the press to
being Iron Man in Nikken Inc.’s lobby (“Iron
Man”), or a band of misfits led by George Clooney attempting the heist of their lives by breaking into one of UCI’s buildings (“Ocean’s Eleven”), Irvine has been a popular backdrop for
film and television.
A few notable spots have been seen more
than most on the big screen. UC Irvine’s campus, the offices at Park Place, the former El Toro Marine base that’s being converted into the
Great Park and one building in particular – the
headquarters for company Nikken Inc. (pronounced NEE-ken) at 52 Discovery – have been
destinations for location scouts. “Once it’s in
the can, we’re a part of history,” said Al Chavez,
the facilities manager for Nikken Inc.
While feature filming in the area has slowed
as production companies seek incentives out of
state or overseas, commercials and television
shoots remain. MORE ON PAGE 4

Agran proposes moving fifth high school
One possible location would be inside the Great Park.
BY KIMBERLY PIERCEALL
ORANGE COUNTY REGISTER
Irvine’s fifth high school
is already on the map, but
Irvine Councilman Larry
Agran wants the school district to consider moving it.
Agran believes the high
school, to be built by 2016
on 40 acres south of Irvine
Boulevard and just northeast of the Great Park, is
too close to the proposed
county expansion of the
James A. Musick jail and
not close enough to some of
the first homes that will be
built by Five Point Communities, as well as homes
built by the Irvine Co.
Agran wants to open a
discussion at Tuesday’s
council meeting – no votes,
no resolutions, just an opportunity to talk about options. Ultimately, it’s the
school district’s decision.
Since November, both the
makeup of the council and
the school district has
changed, he said.
“This is a critical time,”
he said.

standing in the front of a
traditional classroom.
The new school is
planned to be built on a
tract previously known as
Planning Area 40, a plot sitting northeast of I-5 and
just south of the intersection of Jeffrey and Trabuco
roads.
The official address will
be 355 Rush Lily. Lloyd Linton, the school district’s director of facilities and construction, said the district
is accepting bids for site
work. Construction is set to
begin in six to eight weeks.
At the heart of the
school, a design lab, a technology innovation lab and a
library will act as flexible
rooms capable of accommodating the varying projects and needs of kindergarten through sixth-grade
classes, according to plans
from Riverside-based architectural firm Ruhnau
Ruhnau Clarke.
“Basically, it’s a collaborative arrangement around
a library media center,"

“Spokes on a wheel, if you
will.”
The spaces between
these spokes have been
planned as courtyards that
can serve as both recess
hangouts and outdoor
classrooms for art projects
and science experiments.
Plans even call for the
hallways among classrooms to have flexible
walls, interactive screens,
projectors and “modular
flexible small group seating” so teachers can extend
or move the learning environment at will.
“It’s just a way for more
collaborative
learning,”
Linton said.

School District Superintendant Terry Walker said
the process to build the
school has been a lengthy
one, with architects already
drafting designs, and any
new alternative now would
compromise the school’s
timeline to open by fall
2016.
“We have to move
ahead,” Walker said. He
said there’s always been a
discussion of another possible location but never a concrete proposal, disputing
Agran’s contention that the
board was presented alternative sites but turned
them down.
He said the district
wouldn’t be opposed to a
new site, but it would need
to be presented by the landowner and home developer, Five Point Communities,
not the city, as soon as possible.
As it stands now, the
school would be built on
land owned by Five Point,
“where no one lives out
there right now,” Agran
said.
Each school wing will be
separated by grade, with
sixth- and fifth-graders in
one, fourth and third in another, and so on.
Cypress Village Elementary will also serve as a special education hub, Linton
said, with a special-education classroom in each pod,
allowing for better integration of special-needs students into general education classrooms.
Plans for the building also include a storytelling
space in the library, a music
lab and a multipurpose
room that can act as an auditorium or gymnasium.
At a March 19 meeting,
the school district board
voted unanimously to name
the soon-to-be-built school
after Cypress Village, the
community surrounding
the school, rather than Cypress Grove Park, a 10-acre
plot sitting directly northeast of the school’s proposed location.
The decision aligns with
the district’s longstanding
policy of naming new elementary schools after adjacent streets, nearby parks
or the surrounding village.

balloon and carousel came
with a price since Irvine’s
City Council voted 3-2 last
month to charge fees to
raise funds to host the U.S.
Solar Decathlon in October.
The balloon costs about
$1.1 million annually to operate, and the carousel
costs $235,664.
Now it costs $5 for children between 6 and 16 and
$10 for adults to ride the
balloon and $2 each for the
carousel. The rides are
open Thursday through
Sunday.
“I think that’s a little
steep for a ride that’s just
going up and going down,”
said Hena Singh, 40, visiting the park from New Jersey with her Irvine cousins
Venu and Rakhi Singh.
Among the people visiting the park from 11 a.m. to
noon Thursday, some
agreed with Singh while
others thought the prices
were worth it, including
Morello.

Agran wants to look at
moving the school site to
one of two spots – the western side of the park just

Great Park on Thursday.
“It’s nice to have a bird’s
eye view,” she said. “The
price won’t hamper us.”
Charging for the rides
came with some kinks on
the first day because of a
process that involved some
people standing in line
more than once.
After visitors park, arrows point to a white tent
where individuals fill out a
waiver to ride the balloon
and get a pager that alerts
them when their balloon
trip is ready. But they don’t
pay at the tent. Once the
pager goes off, riders are
told to go to nearby Hangar
244 several feet away to pay.
That’s where the carousel
tickets are sold, too.
Several people said it
would have been easier to
pay all at once.
“Do I have to pay $2 if he
just sits?” said Jessica Sykora, 31, joking when she saw
her 3-year-old son Roman
sitting on one of the carousel’s benches, his preferred
seat, rather than one of the
ornate saddled animals.
Sykora, from Mission Viejo,
said she visits the park often and was there Thursday with Roman, her 1-year-
old Lucas and friend Dana
Townsend and her son Carter from Lake Forest.
“Every time we have
friends or family visit, we
bring them here,” she said.
But without out-of-towners
or balloon first-timers like
Townsend, she said she
probably wouldn’t visit the
park as often now that
there’s a charge for the
rides.
“The carousel is a little
high, but the balloon is certainly reasonable,” Mary
McAdara said.
“It’s a very short ride for
$2,” said her husband, Fred,
as the two-minute ride
slowed down.
Sure, the rides were free
last week, but this week
their three Colorado grandchildren were in town so
they visited the park for the
first time, signing up for a
spot on the balloon – two
adults, three children including one younger than 5
for a grand total of $30.
Their expected wait after
they signed up at noon
Thursday? One hour.
Mary said they’d be back
with another set of grandkids soon.

Hollywood turns office into hospital,
bowling alley, mission control
Nikken Inc.’s architecture and
accommodations draw productions.
BY KIMBERLY PIERCEALL
ORANGE COUNTY REGISTER
A
l Chavez knew the
exact spot where
Tony Stark’s nemesis in 2008’s “Iron Man”
stood with both hands on a
ledge as he looked down at
the superhero’s super-assistant Pepper Potts. And
where Orlando Bloom’s
character in “Elizabethtown” got into trouble.
Same goes for Sandra Bullock when she visited what
was supposed to be an FBI
office in Las Vegas for
“Miss Congeniality 2.”
He should – the scenes
were all shot inside Nikken
Inc.’s Irvine headquarters,
where he manages the facilities.
As in any business, it’s all
about location. For the film
industry, that’s where Chavez comes in. Several years
ago, he became the company’s busy film wrangler
when Gwyneth Paltrow’s
2003 airline comedy “View
from the Top” was the first
feature film to stop by the
office.
“We’re really at the beginning part of telling a story,” he said.
A VERSATILE SET
Of the last 14 feature
films shot in Irvine since
2000, 12 have been shot at
the Nikken Inc. building.
The company’s retail
store was converted into a
hospital room for “You, Me
and Dupree.”
An expansive two-story
room filled with cubicles,
dubbed the “blue room,”
has become the spitting image of NASA’s mission control room, including once
for “The Astronaut Farmer.”
The lobby turned into
Ben Stiller’s corporate Globo Gym for “Dodgeball: A
True Underdog Story.”
Chavez likened it to
watching live theater with
some of the greatest people
in their craft.
“And no admission required,” he said.
Nikken, which specializes in making and selling
wellness products, has a
wall reserved in its airy
hallway highlighting the
films and television shows
that have used its building
for scene-setting.
While feature filming has
slowed there and elsewhere
in California as productions
are lured to other states by
cost-saving
incentives,
commercial and television
shoots still arrive regularly.
Depending on what kind
of production it is, using
Nikken as a backdrop could
cost a couple thousand dollars to several thousand
dollars a day. But the parking – and Nikken has plenty
– is free.
“The bottom line is, that
place looks great,” said
Flint Maloney, a location
manager and member of
Teamsters 399 who, after
working in feature films,
now specializes in commercial shoots. And it doesn’t
hurt that Chavez has made
it easy for film shoots by responding quickly, offering
easy parking and understanding what goes into a
shoot, Maloney said.
“I wish there were more
buildings down there,” he
said of Irvine.
THE THIRTY-MILE ZONE
Irvine is just outside the
“thirty-mile zone,” which
has its epicenter in Los Angeles. Filming outside the
zone, versus inside it, can
be more costly for productions that now have to cover
union crew member mileage costs, travel time and
offer overnight hotel stays.
“For some producers,
you might as well be in
Louisiana or Georgia,” said
union location manager David Fertig of the political
and economic impact of
venturing outside the zone.
There are plenty of clean,
modern office buildings and
warehouses that productions could use instead of
Nikken, he said. “But many
of them don’t take our
checks,” and even fewer return phone calls in minutes,
Fertig said of building managers who balk at the payments production studios
are willing to make, fearing
a hassle.
“Probably the key to its
success is Al, I’ve got to
say,” he said, adding that
Chavez manages a balance
in keeping Nikken’s executives and a large production
crew happy – even when a
commercial he was scouting for Bridgestone called
for the building’s hallway,
about 400 feet long, to be
turned into a bowling alley.
“Al isn’t fazed by any of
our silly ideas,” he said.
CITY IS A STAR
In a film-friendly county,
Irvine is one of the most
popular backdrops, said
Janice Arrington, Orange
County’s film commissioner since 1999.
The runway and hangars
of the former El Toro Marine base that now inhabit
the Orange County Great
Park have set the scene for
episodes of “24” and “JAG”
and feature film “Eagle
Eye,” and were home to the
U.S. version of automotive
show “Top Gear” for a couple of seasons.
In October, “Zero Dark
Thirty” spent a day filming
in a computer server room
at 2525 Main St., according
to a permit filed with the
city.

UC Irvine, John Wayne Airport’s managers and the
California Department of
Transportation to set up
detours for the two-day
shoot, Arrington said.
And of course there’s a
bevy of reality show housewives with camera crews in
tow spending time at locations in and around the
county, including Irvine.

standard $50 business license fee, good for 12
months.

ny, Warner Bros., Disney,
Universal, Fox and Paramount studios spent some
$105 million in location fees,
hotel rooms, gas, food and
more in Orange County in
2010, the last year the numbers were available, Arrington said. And that’s
conservative considering
the local economy overall,
and filming specifically, had
slowed since 2008.
Based on scouting for
motion pictures, pilots and
commercials
already,
though, Arrington expects
bigger spending.
Chavez’s calendar has already seen as many film
shoots in two months as
would normally take six
months to fill, including
commercials for Exxon and
Verizon, a television pilot
and an episode for Disney’s
“A.N.T. Farm.”
“There won’t be a week

isn’t on TV,” he said.
FIVE QUESTIONS WITH ...
NIKKEN INC. FILM WRANGLER AL CHAVEZ
ORANGE COUNTY REGISTER
G
lossy photos of celebrities stare out
from the office wall of Al Chavez, facilities manager for Nikken Inc. Chavez
has had his fair share of celebrity sightings
since Nikken became a go-to location for production studios looking for just the right scene
for their advertisements, television show or
film.
1
Q: How did this start?
How did Nikken’s headquarters become a
destination for filming?
A: Basically we were contacted by Rob Frank, who
was a locations manager,
and he was doing a movie
called “View from the
Top,” and Janice Arrington (Orange County film
commissioner). I’m not
sure who contacted who
first, but from that point
forward, that’s when it
really just took off, by
word of mouth.
2
Q: What has been one
of your favorite productions to work on?
A: My favorite production was, from a cool
factor, definitely “Iron
Man.” Definitely No. 1. But
one of the most fun productions just overall was
“You, Me and Dupree.”
The crew was just phenomenal and it was a lot of
fun.
3
Q: What are the advantages for production companies to
shoot here?
A: It’s a one-stop shop.
They get to park. All parking is included. They
really don’t have to drive
anywhere, they just bring
all their equipment here,
and they get it all done
without having to venture
too far.
4
Q: Feature film productions at the building have slowed down.
Why do you think that
is?
A: I think we just can’t
keep up with the competition from the other states
offering the level of rebates that they offer right
now. If there’s a state
that’s offering a 20 percent rebate on a $200 million production, I mean,
free parking can’t keep up
with that.
KIMBERLY PIERCEALL, ORANGE COUNTY REGISTER
Al Chavez has collected a wall of personally signed celebrity photos through the years.
5
Q: How does it feel
when you see one of
the scenes shot at
Nikken on the big
screen?
A: The coolest part for me
is the reaction I get from
my kids and they say, “Oh,
there’s Daddy’s work.” So
it’s pretty fun. And then
another cool reaction is
knowing that some friends
of yours could be watching
it and having the same reaction: “Oh, there’s where
my friend works.” I’m very
proud of that.

Assi Natural Market Opened Its First Orange County
Location at Woodbridge Village Center in Irvine
Assi Natural Market
celebrated the opening of
its first store on the West
Coast, last week, at the
Woodbridge Village Center.
The 35,000-square-foot
grocery store carries an
expansive array of Asian
and American products
that will include organic
produce, organic meats
(including Kobe-certified
and Wagyu beef, Kurobuta
pork and free-range Jidori
chicken), seafood, boutique wines and specialty
Asian spirits such as sake,
shochu, soju and makkeoli.
Shoppers in Irvine’s
diverse community can
find goods from 13 different countries, including a
vast selection of instant
noodles, from Vietnamese
pho to Japanese udon,
with more than 200 different kinds of frozen
dumplings and an assortment of fresh noodles in
the refrigerated section.
Food-lovers and avid
home-cooks can also look
forward to 40 different
kinds of housemade kimchi, 18 kinds of in-house
marinated meats, a shabushabu section with meats
sliced-to-order and even
ready-to-cook
hotpot
packages with ingredients
for the perfect at-home
shabu-shabu meal.
Additionally, Assi Natural
Market features a bakery
and food court offering
prepared goods such as
made-to-order sushi, kimbap and even Italian and
American fare – perfect
for those wanting to grab
lunch or dinner on-the-go.
The gleaming and
immaculate space boasts
reclaimed wood, brushed
stainless steel, subway
tiles, polished concrete
floors and a state-of-theart ventilation system.
“We really wanted to
take the old model of the
Asian mom-and-pop grocery market and elevate it
to a whole new level and
be able to offer a true
neighborhood
grocery
store for the entire community of Irvine,” said
Thomas Yoon, Branch
Manager for Assi Natural
Market.
To celebrate Assi’s
opening, shoppers are
invited to come in for a
“Taste of Assi” to sample
foods and products from
more than 30 vendors for
the entire month of April.
Look for tasty samples
of shumai dumplings,
donburi rice bowls, miso
soup, tofu and chips – to
name a few.
With 19 stores in the
U.S., including a store in
Los
Angeles,
Assi
Natural Market in
Irvine is the chain’s first
new prototype store on
the West Coast. This is
also the first time Assi is
offering organic produce
including Napa cabbage,
cilantro,
bok
choy,
lettuces and peppers.
Yoon traveled across
the globe to research the
world’s best supermarkets, from Tesco in the
United Kingdom to E-Mart
in Korea and Daiei in
Japan. But it was from the
popular American market,
Whole Foods, where Yoon
drew the most inspiration,
from securing the same
seafood distributor as
Whole Foods and even the
same checkstands.
“Whole Foods has the
highest standards,” said
Yoon. “Their stores are the
absolute cleanest and
that’s what we’re aiming
for.”
Janice Fuchs, Vice
President of Operations
for Irvine Company Retail
Properties, said Assi
Natural Market is a
great
addition
to
Woodbridge Village Center.
“With a stylish, welcoming store design and a
wide variety of prepared
and packaged foods, we
see this market becoming
an integral part of the
community,” said Fuchs.
Assi Natural Market
is
located
in
the
Woodbridge Village Center
at 4730 Barranca Parkway
in Irvine, between Culver
and Jeffrey. Woodbridge
Village Center, owned
and managed by Irvine
Company, is anchored by
Barnes & Noble, Ruby’s
Diner, Woodbridge Movies
5 Theater and several
other specialty retailers,
professional services and
medical offices.
Assi’s store hours are
8 a.m. to midnight Mon.-Sat.,
8 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday.

Irvine Ranch cowboys became neighbors with the newly opened San Joaquin Golf Course in 1 965.
Ranching soon gave way to residential development.
The spring
roundup was a
time for teamwork. Cowboys
could rope,
brand, castrate
and inoculate a
calf in less than
a minute.
becue for the exhausted cowboys.
Late April 1985 was the last Irvine Company roundup at Bommer Canyon, which is located
near the present-day villages of
Shady Canyon and Turtle Rock.
Cowboys tended about 3,500 cattle on 40,000 acres of land that
spring. Cattle operations ceased
on July 31 of the same year.
In 1981, the city of Irvine purchased 7 acres to create Bommer
Canyon Park. Initially, it was suggested that the original cattle
camp buildings should be razed
to make room for newer facilities.
Irvine Historical Society Members Gail Daniels and Barbara
Wiener urged to city to preserve
and renovate the buildings instead.
Today, Bommer Canyon is part
of the Irvine Ranch Conservancy.
Visitors can hike through a rare
natural wilderness that once only
cowboys could enjoy.

KOREAN AUTHOR MAIJA RHEE DEVINE
BY KIMBERLY PIERCEALL
ORANGE COUNTY REGISTER
In “The Voices of Heaven”, Maija (pronounced May-jah) Rhee
Devine tells the story of a young Korean couple in the early
1940s with a love for each other “as sweet as sticky rice,” according to the author’s description. Their relationship and country are tested, though, as the pressure to give birth to a male
heir mounts and a divided Korea goes to war. Devine also tackles gender roles in a traditional Confucianism system that values men above women. Much of the fictional novel is inspired by
Devine
her own life.
Devine will be signing her novel today and Sunday from 2 to 4
p.m. at her publisher’s office at 4199 Campus Drive, Suite 550 in Irvine.
The book is being published by Seoul Selection Publishing and is available on
Amazon.com.
Q. A lot of noise has been coming out of North Korea lately – what do you think of the
latest threats (i.e., the end to the armistice with South Korea and talk of reviving a nuclear program)?
A. Actually, people in South Korea, they are not as nervous about news coming
out of North Korea … every time North Korea makes some kind of threat. South
Koreans just say “OK, whatever” and they just go on with their lives. Psychologically, emotionally, they have become immune. They have become toughened. And
they have lived through so many threats from North Korea for 60 years that they
just don’t think anything will really happen. But, of course, every time North Korea makes pronouncements, like they are going to make the sea of fire of South
Korea and part of the United States, we all jump and worry and lose sleep. ... Our
youngest son lives in Korea, he lives in Seoul. He’s married, he married a Korean
girl. They are both teachers. He teaches at Seoul International School. Because
he and our daughter-in-law live there, I naturally become very anxious whenever
threats from North Korea become news. And they also just calm me down and
say, “Hey, nothing’s going to happen.”
Q. What was it like tackling your first novel?
A. Actually, I used a lot of autobiographical material. The first book was a memoir. I had an agent who read the memoir manuscript and she recommended that I
turn it into a novel. ... So I wrote it all over, in a novel form, which took a little

LAND WAS HOME TO COWBOYS
There once was a time, not too
long ago, when cowboys roamed
the rolling hills of the Irvine
Ranch. It’s hard to imagine that
the city of more than 200,000
residents was once home to more
cattle than people, but it’s true.
Even back in the Spanish Mission Era, the open land of Irvine
was perfect grazing land.
Don
Jose
Andres Sepulveda was granted
the land in 1831
and used it to
graze
14,000
ELLEN
head of cattle and
BELL
his prized collecGUEST
tion of horses.
COLUMNIST
When James
Irvine first purchased the land in 1864, he and
his partners began a sheep-grazing operation.
After his death, the Irvine
Ranch began the transition from
grazing to farming. New railroads made agriculture profitable, and it became more lucrative to raise crops.
But Irvine’s son, James Harvey Irvine, kept the cattle operation, which became the largest
in Orange County. He applied for
the “JI” brand in 1892, which was
used for decades on the Irvine
Ranch.
The cattle camp was first located in the original ranch house,
which is home to the Irvine Historical Museum today. It was
moved to Bommer Canyon in
1930.
Springtime was an important
season on the Irvine Cattle
Ranch. That was when cowboys
rode out across the ranch to
round up the herd. Neighboring
cattle ranches pitched in to help
each other, sharing their cowboys to tackle the job.
During the roundup, cowboys
worked with precision. They
could rope, brand, castrate and
inoculate a calf in less than a minute. After the hard work was
over, the Bommer Canyon Cattle
Camp held a great roundup bar-

over 10 years to do that. I needed to learn how to do it. I didn’t know the craft. It
took awhile. In the meantime, I did publish short stories and poems. ... I would
have given it up long ago, if it wasn’t for believing that these common people I
write about in my novel, if I didn’t write about them, they would be lost forever
to the world. Nobody would know them. They would just live their lives struggling, loving, doing whatever was necessary under the Confucius value system,
and they die and they’re gone and I wanted to honor them.
Q. How much of the autobiographical material from your earlier memoir remains in your
novel?
A. My parents had no male child, and at that time in Korea, any family that
didn’t have a male child needed to do something about that. Not having a male
child was not acceptable because the male child not only carried down the family
name but the male child offered ancestor worship ceremonies several times
throughout the year. ... If a family did not have a male descendent offering these,
the spirits of the dead ancestors could not go into heaven. They became wandering ghosts. ... So, the well being, not only in this life of the family but the well being in the next life depended on having a male child. So my parents, since they
had just me but they were very much in love with each other, my father did not
want to get a second wife. But after waiting 15 years, he had to. And so they had
a mistress come in and live in the same house and produce a son. …And so the
novel’s opening scene is the day this woman is coming and the wife, who is my
mother, was preparing food to throw for the big wedding party and practicing
what she needed to say to the woman. And what she needed to say was, “?Welcome to my husband’s bed.”
Q. The daughter character, then, I’m presuming is based on you?
A. The daughter does not know that she was adopted right at the beginning of
the book. The adults talk about her being an adopted child but she does not
know. She blames herself that her parents are going through this tragedy, brokenhearted over the mistress coming, because of this daughter. If she had been a
boy, this would not have happened. Only in the epilogue of the novel, when she is
a grown woman, she learns that she’s adopted.
Q. What ultimately do you hope readers will take away from your book?
A. I would like them to know this book as a story of common Korean people going through their struggles with not only their personal lives but with national
disaster and know that what they try to do was to live up to Confucian values,
which means honoring other people, women honoring men. That’s the main
theme of this novel. Within the Confucian value system, women were below men.
Although that changed a lot the last three or four decades, the male-centric value still continues. ... They made this huge economic leap from third world. ... But
where are the women? They are still lagging behind.

Ask Dr. Watanabe
A PRIMER ON DENTAL IMPLANTS
Q: What is a dental implant?
A: A dental implant is a pin, usually made of titanium, that is implanted in your jaw to
act as a tooth root and support an artificial tooth or teeth. As a solution to missing teeth,
implants have some advantages over dentures in that they don’t slip, making talking and
chewing easier, and they are more comfortable. The procedure is generally done under
local anesthesia.
To be a candidate for an implant, you must have enough bone in the jaw, and it
must be strong enough to support an implant. If there’s not enough bone, under certain
conditions your dentist might be able to employ a bone graft. The condition of a patient’s
gums is also an important factor in deciding whether an implant is a viable option.
Implants, of course, do not relieve you of the need to visit your dentist. Your dentist will
want to check regularly on the state of the implant and the health of the adjoining tissue.
For instance, the tissue near an implant can be more susceptible to infection
because of decreased blood flow. Nothing is forever, of course, but with proper care,
implants should last for many years. Talk with your dentist about whether you are a
candidate for an implant.

Kaprielian adjusting to new role with UCLA
FILE PHOTO: STEVEN GEORGES, FOR THE REGISTER
James Kaprielian fires a pitch during one of his two no-hitters last year for Beckman High School.
Last year’s Irvine all-city MVP says Beckman experience helped prepare him to play for Bruins.
BY TIM BURT
ORANGE COUNTY REGISTER
DID YOU KNOW?
The two no-hitters
that James Kaprielian
pitched last year were the
first in Beckman’s history.
i
F
ormer Beckman
ace James Kaprielian has settled in
with his new baseball team at UCLA.
Kaprielian, a freshman
with the Bruins, has
pitched in seven innings of
relief, posting a 2.57 ERA
and a 0-0 record with the
UCLA team that entered
the week 18-6 overall and
6-3 in the Pac-12.
Kaprielian, the Irvine allcity MVP last year, has
struck out 16 and walked
seven.
It’s a change of roles for
Kaprielian, who was as a
starter for the Patriots during his high school career,
although he saw limited
time in relief.
“I’ve been primarily used
as a closer,” Kaprielian said
of his Bruins role, after
watching a recent Beckman game. “I’m getting a
lot of work in and learning
from the older guys. They
have really taken me under
their wing there.
“I’m getting a lot of good
coaching up there and it’s
been a really good experience so far. We’re looking
good right now, pitching
and defense is going really
well and our offense is
starting to come through.
We’re winning games –
that’s the most important.
We’re all having a good time
out there.”
Kaprielian believes his
experience at Beckman
helped him prepare for the
next stage in his life.
Kaprielian was 33-3 with
eight saves and a 0.96 ERA
in three years and capped
his three-year varsity career by posting a 12-2 mark
with a 0.84 ERA and 112
strikeouts in 831⁄3 innings.
The right-hander also
pitched the first two no-hitters in Beckman history
and notched three saves.
Kaprielian, a first team AllCIF Division 3 player,
pitched 32 consecutive innings without giving up a
run last year and wound up
fifth all-time in the CIF in
career shutouts with 11.
“I think Coach (Kevin)
Lavalle did a good job getting me ready for the next
level. I tip my cap to him,”
Kaprielian said. “That’s
why I’m out here today to
support the program. The
transition has been really
CLR: C
K
Y
M
smooth just because of him.
“It’s fun. It’s different,
but there are guys who are
older and they’ve waited
their time. My time will
come probably next year
and maybe the year after
that. I’ve got time, I’m still
learning from the older
guys.”
During his most recent
visit, Kaprielian saw Daniel
Griese pitch a one-hit shutout in a 3-0 victory over
Northwood.
“He looks good. He looks
comfortable out on the
mound,” Kaprielian said.
“He looks like he will have a
good future out there. I’m
pretty impressed.”
Kaprielian will be following the progress of the
Beckman team, which is
shooting for its fifth
straight PCL title.
“They look like they have
a lot of talent,” he said, “and
I’m really impressed with
the bats … and pitching, because a lot of the guys
haven’t been pitching as
much. They look like
they’re hitting the ball
really well.”
Kaprielian has taken in
three games and Lavalle is
always happy to see him,
saying, “He makes us all
proud. We knew he would.”

which had
WRITER
16 teams.
There have been similar
tournaments in the past at
Windrow Park, such as the
Big West Invitational and
the OC Nissan Tournament.
Ryan Lemmon was a lifetime Irvine resident who
graduated from Woodbridge High School in June
1993. He was killed in a car
crash after his first year of
college.
Guy Lemmon seemed to
be pleased with how the
first effort went. Just before handing out T-shirts to
one of the teams Wednesday, he said he was appreciative of all the volunteers
who helped out. .
But he said it’s tough to
find enough people who can
volunteer their time.
Lemmon was convinced
that the investment was
worth it,.
The tournament is a
good thing for the city of Irvine and Orange County,
and hopefully it stays
around for a long time.
Certainly, a corporate
sponsorship would help.
ORGANIZERS PLEASED
“From our standpoint, it
was a very successful
event,” said Dick Owens of
the Ryan Lemmon Foundation. “I think we achieved
our goal to make the event
special for the players and
fans. We look forward to
continuing sponsorship of
this event. We are very
proud to have donated over
$50,000 in the last six
months to Orange County
high school baseball programs. We believe in preserving education-based
athletics.”

Woodbridge wraps up tournament with victory
BY TOM CONNOLLY
FOR THE REGISTER
The Woodbridge High
baseball team finished the
Ryan Lemmon Invitational
on a positive note with a 5-3
victory over Martin Luther
King of Riverside on
Wednesday afternoon at
Windrow Park.
Connor Rogers (2-3) survived a rocky seventh inning but pitched a five-hit
complete game to help the
Warriors (2-13) finish the
tournament with a 1-3
mark.
Leading 5-0 going into
the seventh, MLK (7-7) took
advantage of two costly
Woodbridge errors and
pushed across three runs.
But the Warriors prevailed and Warriors Coach
Tim Murray was pleased
with his pitching ace.
“Connor has been our
best pitcher all season,”
said Murray. “When I went
out there in the last inning
(after Woodbridge committed two errors), I told him
his pitching had nothing to
do with what just happened
in the field. I told him to relax and concentrate on the
next batter.”
UP NEXT
Woodbridge plays at Northwood in a Pacific Coast
League game at 3:30 p.m.
Tuesday.
Murray’s
guidance
worked to perfection.
With one on and the tying
run at the plate, Rogers settled down and got Cameron
Larraga to pop out to end
the game.
“Connor deserved to
throw a shutout today,”
Murray said.
Rogers struck out four
and didn’t walk a batter. His
shutout bid was lost when
two Warriors outfielders
dropped fly balls in the last
inning.
Despite the late-inning
breakdown, Rogers credited his team for playing good
defense.
“I was throwing strikes,
and my defense was making
plays,” said Rogers. “This is
a good win for us. We’re
rolling back into the second
half of league play, and we
feel we can make a playoff
run.”
The Warriors took advantage of wildness by the
Wolves’ starter, Bayley
Chesterton, in the first inning.
Woodbridge
batters
drew two walks and three
other Warriors were hit by
pitches in the inning, as
Woodbridge scored four
runs with two outs. John
Stevens and Mike Pritchett
had key RBI singles to highlight the rally.
Rogers was in complete
control and was only tested
in the third, when a bad-hop
double put MLK runners at
second and third with two
outs. However, Rogers got
Jeremiah McCray to pop
out to end the inning.
Tyler Beutel walked to
lead off the sixth inning for
the Warriors and then advanced by hustling from
first to third on a sacrifice.
He scored on Pritchett’s
groundout giving Woodbridge a 5-0 lead.
“This is a big win for us,”
said Beutel. “We’ve had a
lot of close battles, and to
win this game is a confidence boost. The coach has
been preaching to us that
the season is not over. It’s
been tough for us, but this
win helps us get back into
it.”

Northwood, Uni fall in final tourney games
BY TIM BURT
ORANGE COUNTY REGISTER
Northwood and University dropped their final
games Wednesday in the
Ryan Lemmon Invitational
at Windrow Park.
Northwood lost a fifthplace game to Hemet, 3-1,
and wound up 2-2 in the 16team tournament.
University fell to Trabuco Hills, 16-2, in a game
called after five innings.
The Trojans were winless
in four tournament games.
Northwood jumped out
to a 1-0 lead with a run in
the first inning. Ojo Weiss
doubled and came home on
a single by Kevin Okuda.
But Hemet scored three
runs in the bottom of the
third inning and blanked
the Timberwolves (9-6
overall) the rest of the way.
“That was a good ballgame, we didn’t execute a
couple of times,” Northwood Coach Rob Stuart
said. “I think we just kind of
fell asleep in the inning they
scored three. We left a lot of
kids on base. That’s high
school baseball, kids get
nervous.”
It was a long day for University. Trabuco Hills
scored six runs in the first

Irvine Valley’s men’s tennis team clinched second
place outright in the
Orange Empire Conference
with an 8-1 win over Cypress at home Tuesday.
It was the Lasers’ final
home match of the season.
The win improved Irvine
Valley’s record to 12-4 overall and 7-2 in conference.
Irvine Valley, which is
ranked seventh in Southern
California, is two matches
ahead of Saddleback with
one conference contest left.
By finishing second, the
Lasers should earn a berth
in the Southern California
Regional team quarterfinals on Tuesday. Those
draws will be released over
the weekend.
Then the team will take
part in the Orange Empire
Conference finals Thursday through April 13 at Fullerton.
In the win over Cypress,
Irvine Valley captured all
eight matches it actually
played.
The Lasers defaulted the
No. 3 doubles contest.
Irvine Valley won all six
singles matches in straight
sets. Sophomore Rafael da
Luz (No. 1), freshman Steven Le (No. 2), freshman
James Lafond (No. 3),
freshman Chris Chau (No.
4), sophomore Jaime Roman (No. 5) and freshman
Kyle Newman (No. 6) each
earned victories.
Roman didn’t allow a
game, and Le and Chau
each gave up just one game
in wins.
At No. 1 doubles, Lafond
and Le defeated Omar Saldivar and Aehjai Panis, 8-1,
and at No. 2 doubles, da Luz
and Roman beat Brian Ortiz and Christian Ramirez,
8-3.
