Donna was a caring and helpful person in a job that is typified by hard-nose tough guys who would rather threaten you or terminate yotir advertising rights than try to work out a solution. Our first encounter was when I was trying to inadvisably advertise my way out of a business slump. I owned a small real estate office that was riding the '70s-'80s real estate roller coaster, and at the time we were definitely in free fall. My business depended heavily on advertising and I had run my bill up to more than $8,000. Don- na's solution wasn't threats of legal action or "cutting me off at the knees• but rather, she said, •Let's see if we can solve this problem and keep you in business at the same time." I felt like I had just been tossed a life preserver as I was going down for the third time. She convinced management to continue a conservative ad pro- gram while I made installments on the outstanding balance. It took some time, but because of her encouragement and helpful atti- tude. I always put the Pilot on the top of my bill-paying list. She had gone to bat for me and I coul~'t let her down. Even after I graduated from her "deadbeat list" as she used to jok- ingly call it, we bad many conver- sations just to say "Hi," talk about her plans to buy a house in town and just chat about non-business things. I managed to stay off her "deadbeat list" from then on. Donna was a fair and compas- sionate adversary in a position to give me real problems, but instead she sought only mutually benefi- cial solutions. She was a genuinely good person and she was my friend when I needed a friend. I am deeply grteved at her untimely passing. • NIGEL BAILEY is a resident of Corona del Mar.

Diify Pilot COSTA MESA -Hundreds came to St. Joachim Church on Friday moini.ng to say goodbye to Donna Jacobson, the 59- year-old Costa Mesa woman, who most would agree, died too soon. Many came from the Daily Pilot offices, where Donna worked for 16 years. Many oth- ers knew her through the church, where she came tor years as a devout Catholic. Some visitors never met her personally but felt they bad. Costa Mesa Police Chief Dave Snowden paid respects. So did City Coundlman Gary Monahan, who knelt with fold- ed hands as Father Ken Krause le<j the services. In the last hour of her life, Donna Jacobson attended evening Mass at this Orange Avenue church . She drove home, and around 7 p.m. she lay dead, stabbed to death in an apparent botched robbery, only steps from her front door. "I'm fine," said Mike Jacobson, 58, the victim's hus- band, standing outside the church minutes before the cas- ket was unloaded. "A few min· utes from now I'll be something else.• Mike said he was "mildly surprised " that his wife seemed to have touched so many lives. "But my boys had no idea," he said.

"It's not just raising test scores, it's raising academic standards.· Superintendent Mac Bernd said the plan to raise scores includes analyzing last year's scores and focusing on tested skills in staff development. The board developed 17 goals from each member's individual' ranking. "We've got a lot to do before June,• she said. The board's second pnority is accommodating the groWlllg stu- dent population, specifically the crowded elementary schools and the need for additional class- rooms for class-size reduction. •we have to make some ded· sions in January and February about whether we need new portables or opening closed schools, • Bernd said Both Fluor and Trustee Wendy Leece said that board members also considered raising teacher salaries a priority, although it wasn't on the list.

Christmas settings. Bob Black, president of the Catalina Passenger Service, said BW Caouette, of the Tale of the Whale restaurant, commissioned artist Susan Newcomb to paint the Balboa Pavilion for the restaurants annual Christmas cards. The dozen paintings include a depiction of the Pavilion as a gin- ger bread Pavilion, with ice skaters on a frozen harbor, carol- eJS on snow-covered streets, San- ta arm in arm with 1940's bathing beauties and lit with hol- iday lights. Former Balboa Pavilion owner, the late Phil Tozer, had wanted ·to publish a 12-month calendar featuring each painting. This year bis wife Betty took the lead and put all 12 paintings on one page of the beautifully designed calendar, Black said. ·A limited supply of the calen- . dars are available and Black sug- gests calling 673-5245 before heading to the Catalina Passen- ger office at 400 Main Street, Balboa to get a calendar copy. SHOPPING NOTES: A num- ber of merchants on Balboa Island missed the opportunity for sales from Christmas Boat Parade visitors with their 6:00 p.m. dos- ing during the week. The parade comes by the north side of the i.ciland at 6:30 p.m. and the south side around 8:30 p.m., leaving time for the visitors to walk the island business district and shop- ping before and after the parade. With only a few Balboa Island stores open, many of the shop-, pers filled the stores of Fashion Island which remained open until 11 p.m. on Thursday night.

Harold Is assisted by Adam and Eve, Abe and Sarah, Zach and Liz, Gabe and Mary, and a host of other "heavenly• creatures. By Nancy Cheever, Daily Pilot C lassical is one of the more challenging styles of music to play on any instrument-but especially on the guitar. Involving more than simply stmmmir>g chords, every note is carefully placed and is a delib- erate movement creating a deliberate style. But making the music not sound deliberate is the bard part. Costa Mesa's Joseph Yasbar recently recorded a CD of classi- cal guitar works titled "The Art of Joseph Yashar• (Counterpoint Records). Yashar, who attended and studied music at Orange Coast College. is a self-taught guitarist who has performed at area restaurants, bookstores and colleges. The 31-year-old said he grew 'up listening to classical music, and it soon became his passion. •Anykindofmusicthatis beautiful really appeals to me,• he said. Yashar is obviously an accom- plished musician, and has great •talent, yet his recordings fall short of perfection. Recorded in a Fountain Valley ,home studio, the sound doem't 'quite have the tonality of a pol- ~ished performance of what a live •session would sound like. The first track on the album, Federico Moreno Torroba's •Sonatina: Allegretto," is a pleasant attempt at some Span- jsh-influenced classical sounds. On the second track, "Sonati- -'IUl: Andante,• it sounds as if · Yashar is constantly struggling to find the next chord. And from there, each track sounds more 'and more deliberate and the CD •never quite gets there. The chop- !py chord changes and half-sec- •ond-too-long pauses make the ,otherwise pleasant tunes seem labored. Classical guitar ts not very eesily understood, Yashar said, and •one of the most important :aspects ja having a beautiful tone." • So while the compositions tbellll8lves are nice, the inter- pretation and Yashar's tone are a little flat. The notes seem to leap into your ear, instead of flow into it. Some of the slower tunes, like Nikita Koshlr:in's •Guitar,• work pretty well. The South Ameri- can-influenced composition wa.s written for several different instruments, and Yashar does a good Job interpreting the guitar portion. 'Ibe Ould motion and melodic tanallty of the piece ae--- ates a calm. euy feeling. Put 1 few words to wort for you. can thl pmiyPilot Yashar said he hopes to per- form more in the area, but that many venues don't understand the type of music he plays.

"Aeromania" was the theme • chosen for this year's annual : student art exhibit at the John • Wayne Airport, where 112 art- . works were chosen from 2,558 · entries. Kindergarten through : 12th-grade students in Orange Students were asked what the mythical country of Aeroma- nia would look like; what type of plant and animal life might inhabit the area; were there oceans and rivers; would there be special clothing; and what kind of currency would be used there? While the rules says that the stamp for Aeromania must also include its value as 10 units, students interpreted this somewhat freely. Among the types of currency adopted were: its, bits, huts, ibits, boosts, County were asked to design their own postage stamp to cel- ebrate the mythical country of • Aeromania.

And as for Aeromania, it turns out, as one might expect, to be a country bursting with marvelous sights. In Aeromania th~re is a gold- en pyramid and also a city of sunflowers. Everywhere the air is filled with fantastic creatures -angels, mermaids, flying humans in space suits, even fly- ing rats. There are plenty of air- ports in Aeromania, usually crowded like John Wayne with planes and people. But some- times we see only the skies or outer reacbPc; of space that Aeromanians travel. Of course, these skies are not always friendly.Jetplanes occasionally engage in combat with space- often this spark is extinguished alter the first few years in ele- mentary scilool where the arts are poorly funded. ~ppily, this exhibition proves that for Orange County children, at least, some teachers are help- ing to keep the spark alive. Moreover, it doesn't stop with the early years. There is strong and imaginative artwork on dis- play representing all the grades. While youngsters astonish by the freshness and spontaneity of their art, older students have acquired more sophisticated skills and techniques to express their visions. Nothing shows such accomplishment better than the half-dozen designs on display from Ms. Oliva's com- puter graphics classes. This Garden Grove teacher has her 10th-and 12iji-grade students working with advanced graphic illustration software. And the results are commendable, so much so would judge these individuals well on the way to careers as graphic artists.

Donna Jacobson CASTAWAYS HOTEL losses DONNA JACOBSON To the family of Donna Jacobson, we share your grief, though it's impossible to feel its depth as you must right now. The Daily Pilot thanks those of you in the community who have sent your kind words about our col- league and we'd once again like to send our heartfelt condolences to the Jacobson family. LOCAL HISTORY A piece of Costa Mesa history was left in cinders this week as a fire raced through an historical wooden house, built in 1909, where the Costa Mesa Chamber of Commerce first formed. The idea of building a hotel at the historic Lower Castaways seems to be fading. The Ayres family, local hoteliers who had first dreamed up the idea, dropped the proposal after seeing a lack of community support. correspondence r---------------------------~--------------~~---~ • I gains QASSKAL FANS South Coast Repertory scored a coup earlier this week by landing the Vienna Pbllbannonic tor a spring concert.

I feel they have one of the most important jobs in the community, shaping the young people of our future. The pay back for the amount of time that they put in is quite smell compared to the amount ol time that other professionals puJ into their profession and get paid at a much, much higher rare.

ELLEN WEINSTEIN Corona del Mar I think definitely they do not. We need more men in educa· Uon. More role models for little boy1 and little boys identify with men. A man cannot sup· port his wife and famlly on a teacher's salary and this is what we need.

I worked at the same salary for four years and then we were given a token 1 % salary Increase that of course was taken out 1n taxes. I just had some friends here from New York, both of whom who are retired teachers from New York state, not even the city, and their retirement lnoome ts twice what ours ls. Plus they get full social securi- ty. I think something is missing here in the way of salaries. Teacben are treated badly. I really feel we need to be com- penaated tbe same u the garbage men who make more money tban we do. JO 11.ACK..JACOI Co.ta .... I remember when salaries were 10-15% less than other districts way back in the early 1950's. Then the board mem· bers declared the school employees bad to accept less pay for the privilege of working in Newport Beach where the view was beautiful and the child.ten were all exemplary. I thought that idea bad been buried. Of course salaries should be competitive. It la crazine11 to pay fint year teachers competitively and tben punish experienced teacher for their loyalty by not maintain.Ing salaries at competitive levels.

Kelly Manos f Big Canyon Country Club knows as ~ell as anyone who carried his own bag in an amateur championship or tried playing for wages. Manos, the hottest playing club pro in the Southern California PGA, was initially schooled on how the game can humble you when he was an all-league golfer at Los Alamitos High School ... and lost a junior tournament by one stroke to a 5-year-old.

"We're looking for'an identity, we're looking for confidence and we're looking for defense ... we're looking for something," said Dukus, whose squad (4-4) is ranked 10th in Orange County. San Clemente (5-3), which plays Westminster tonight for the title, is ranked ninth in the county. Newport Harbor will face 1\'abu- co Hills today at 4:30 p.m. for fifth place. The 1\itons ripped through the Sailo.rs, 12-2, in the opening three minutes, then outscored the Tars in every quarter. Desiree Talley (16 points) made 10 of 14 free throws to lead the Sailors, while teammate Bre- anna Badorek had nine rebounds (four offensive). San Clemente's biggest lead of the first half was 31-15, when Molly Ela drained a three.pointer with 5:24 still to play in the sec- ond quarter. But the Tars cut it to nine (39-30) early in the second half. They would get no closer as the ltttons pulled away . M.E. Clayton (nine points) spent most of the second half on the bench with foul trouble for the Tars, though she came back on the floor· with 2:24 left on the third-quarter clock and never attained a fifth foul. April Ross (five points, three boards), Colleen Eadie (six first- quarter points) and Talley (five boards, two steals) were solid for the Ta.rs, who committed 12 of their season-high 30 tu.movers in the second quarter.

"It's a very, very young team," Almquist said. ~First-year guys with very little mat experience. (Brian) Kramer is the only excep- tion." Kramer, a junior, started off this season with a 10-3 mark in the 145-pound class. He took sec- ond in the Sea View last season. "He's the leader on this team as far as work ethic, everything," Almquist said. "I have optional practices on Tuesday and Thurs- day mornings at 6 o'clock . H e hasn't misse9 one and Tuesday is our hardest practice day." Kramer also carries several honor studies courses such as AP English and Chemist{}'.

"There was an opening teach- ing health at Corona and they needed a wrestling coach," Almquist said. "I knew it would be a lot of work, but if it was easy anybody could do it.• The Sea View League figures to be tough again this time around with El Toro, Irvine, Woodbridge, Newport Harbor and Santa Margarita in the pack. •My goal is to bring six wrestlers to CIF," Almquist said. "I know we are young and inex- perienced, but they want to step up." The Sea Kings plan to put 12 wrestlers on the mat every dual meet. which wasn't always the case last season. They only lack entries in the 103-and 189-pound classes. Kramer's opposite may well be junior Tyler Molway in the 160· pound class. "He's got a lot of talent," Almquist said of Molway. "He's also a wildcat. He kind of gets right after it." While Kramer has a more con- trolled style, Molway wrestles wide-open. •Brian doesn't give up many points," Almquist said. "It will always be a close match. •With Tyler, it's a brawl" When it comes ro winning, they're like twins.

Ellis Realty Groups announces to·p 20 agents for October These agents are· committed to excellence Ron Mazzano, vice president and district ma.Dager of Ellis Realty Group Newport Beach is proud to announce the top 20 agents for October 1996. The top producer for the month was Gisela Burmeister. Known as a highly motivated and experienced real estate agent. Burmeister bas sold more than $7 million so far this year. She attributes this to her market knowledge, property research and hard work. "I know the whole area very well and do not limit myself to representing buyers and sellers locally," Burmeister said. "I recently rcprcscntod the seller of a $3 million estate in Beverly Hills, the .. property sold within three weeks in part because of the marketing program I designed for the seller. I tell a seller initfaUy what it will take to market their property and then help them achieve their goals." According to Burmeister, this strategy has always proved to be highly successful and makes the entire transaction go smoothly. She explained that buying or selling a home can be very stressful -her job is to make sure the tnvisaction goes smoothly to the successful close of escrow, with the least inconvenience to the client. Originally from Germany, Burmeister also speaks Spanish and French. Other honorees arc: Claudette Blanchard Mann, Ted Jarvis, Suzanne Shuler, Ann Peters, Mark Jackson, Tom Iovenitti, Nancy Barfield, James Gray. Gib Walker, Robert Coluccio, Bernard Towezs, Marilyn Kershner, Kathy Granieri, Roy Osterhout, Mali Gulledge, Anne Hoover, Linda Oeth, Lois Jacobs and Maxine Mink.

Ste. 260, Newport Beach. · • Doug Hockett wraps up term with a final view on real estate By Doug Hocutt, CCIM, presilhnt, Orange Coast Associ.ation of Realtors Well, here we are in the last month of the year. It seems like just yesterday when I sat down to write my first of what planned to be monthly Rcaltor News & Views columns. As this is number six, I guess they fumed out to be bi-monthly. Most of them seemed to revolve around the proposed revision of the city planning code. 'The Orange Coast Association of Rcaltors participated in the Planning Commission Public Comments period regarding the code re-write until its ultimate acceptance by the Planning Commission. The basic thrust of the Association's comments were directed toward the maintenance of private property rights. In this activity the Association was following its long established policy of giving back to the community in the form of citizen participation drawing on our experience in our area of professional specialty. lo the first column the active participation of the Rcaltor organization performing advocacy for private property rights at the state and national levels was emphasized As a matter of fact, Rcaltors are active in regional activities as well. But all this activity is only ancill.ary to our major professional activity, bringing our professional experience fo the task of representing owners, buyers and renters to achieve their real estate associated goals in the best possible manner. Any rcaJ estate activity requires a combination of product, market and legislative knowledge to achieve the desired goals. Your professional Rcaltor acts on your behalf to achieve these goals. freeing you to concentrate on the demands of your profession. Tile professional knowledge your Rcaltor brings to the table starts with that threshold required to enter the profession, then your Realtor continually updates their knowledge, keeping current with the changes in their areas of expertise. Enjoy the holiday season. As we begin 1997 and proceed toward the next millennium, may your prosperity and joy . increase. If you "4ve any questions or com1Mnl1, Doug Hocba can be conta.cted tltrouglr the Orange Coast As1ociadon of Realton, 401 N. Newport Blvd., Newport Beach, CA 92663.
