He estimates that 70% to 80% of the members arrive while seeking a church in which to be married. CHILD CARE: Professional, licensed child care is provided during worship and for social and study programs.

Grades and test scores were stagnant. ThfOugh theU' own fiscal mis- mpnagement and poor oversight, whicb resulted in waste and embEJZlement, school board mem()ers managed to lose or siiander not just public money but tl)e political capital they ndeded to support a new tax · measµre. So when the advertising a~ency approached them with the deal from the jeans J1lanufac- turer, they listened. The compa- ny was to be the exclusive. advertiser of the cloth.tqg line on all calnpuses for three years The cdmpany would have the author- ity to post banners on the distnct and school Web sites and to place posters and billboards on all c p uses, with the content subj to approval by the school bdar In exchange, the distnct wpul get some big bucks. : Ev one agreed to the terms, I W H 11 '.S UP steve smith and all w~twell for two years despite some occasional reserva- tions by the school board about the content of the advertising. 1n the back of their minds, howev· er, a couple of the board mem- bers had wondered whether they were wrestling with a 300-pound gorilla. . 1n the last year of the contract, the company said sales were . n . ,, r L~~, B~Rice :~=. SI_69 "' REG. '3.16 2 lb. ~ below expectations and a new ad campaign was necessary. The new campaign, however, was causing some queasiness among the board members. The ads featured half-naked women (or girls -who could tell?) using their har!ds to cover certain body parts. There were men/boys helping them. The board, in a blustery announce- ment, declined to authorize the ads. The 1eans manufacturer threatened to withdraw its sup- port and money -its right under the terms' of the contract -and the school board capitu- lated. "It's nothing kids don't already see in magazines and on television," said one school board member. Still another said, M Kids these days know all this stuff already anyway. Besides, it's either this or a bond issue to raise taxes." Parents did little to stop the suggestive ads. Ob, there were a few appearances by some local yokels who shook their fists and took the moral high road. One of these obnoxious parents even said the board would not allow the posting of signs that promote good behavior but would most definitely allow graphic photos plastered everywhere. He said the only differences were that good behavior signs had the words "thou" and "shalt" and that no one was paying the dJs- trict to promote them. He further noted the irony thef every piece of currency that the school dis-· trict was being paid to splash the sexy ads all over schools had the words "In God We Trust" written plain as day all over it. Not faced with any significant uproar, the schools then became the authorized campus~for swimwear, makeup, un<lf!rwear and too many sugary treats. The district was rolling in dough. Then came the jackpot -the longe t. fattest contract yet. Best of all, it was for somethi.og that would promote healthy lifestyles and keep kids from getting sick or ruining their lives in a vanety of ways. The school board and the condom manufacturer were thrilled. · Then, two years later, 1t all fell apart. The manufacturer discov- ered that its sales were no better than before and, one by one, 1t withdrew its s\Jpport and money. The school board, which had used the corporate dollars to fix old buildings and restart music and arts programs, scrambled There was no state money to replace the corporate payoffs The loss of the contracts would put them severely in the red and force them to promote a bond 1Ssue. The school board was nght back where it started, facing a tax increase. But the kids had been sold out by the district's deosion to support the worst or Madison Avenue. J mdde up thii. story to illus- trate a pomt. We've already got advertlSlng on campuses, wbcthei4tt's clothes with swoosh- or stnpes, or the pa.id-for kind that allows a supplier to stick 1ts logo on a lunch menu. My concern is that the lure of corporate dollars will reduce the .necessary fiscal responsibility that promotes thrift and over- sight and increase the alrecady relentless barrage of marupula- llve trash that ow ldds see every day Campuses should provide a respite from tlus onsJau'ght. Despite the cries to lhe contral) corporate takeovers of campuses are not a wm-win situation. Kids lose again. And, please, don't tell me 1t c:-c:m't happen here. . • STEVE SMl'l'lf 1s a Costa Mesa rest· dent and free lance wnt~r.

School officials said they are contributing blood because their lives have been affected by cancer in some ways. The daughter of Mariners Prin- dpal Mary Letterman has been stncken with a rare form of leukemia known as refractory anemia. The disease weakens the immune system and debilitates the victim. Letterman's daughter was diagnosed in February, and since then families and faculty have been delivering home-cooked meals to Letterman's office. The school PTA has also collected money to help cover some of the medical expenses. Computer teacher Vicky Ziniti is dealing with her second bout of cancer. Every three vieeks she undergoes another round of chemotherapy. ·Students wear baseball caps every Friday, like Ziniti does on occasion, to show their sympathy about her loss of hair Crom the treatment. Katy Megonigal, a sixth-grad- er at the school, has been battling Hodgkin's disease since last year. Students pray for ber and her f~y each morning during Bible class.

Koopltal) JEFF & LfiEEN EWING SAYING THANKS TO YOUR REALTOR You leave the closing feeling really good about the way your agent handled the sale of your home. It was priced well, and by following your Realtor's advice on how to show your home to its best advantage, you sold it quickly. The agent followed up with the lender and the appraiser to make sure that things went smoothly and that small problems didn't beco~e big ones. You had heatd stories frOm friends about their stressful moves, and you are 'relieved and happy that you were spared 1any serious mix- ups. How do you say "Thanks for a job well done" to yo Realtor? Realtors depend on referrals for a big part of their business. A Realtor who has served you well will probably do a professional job for your ·friends or colleagues. The nicest thing you can do for a good Realtor is to pass his .or ner name on to prospective buyers or sellers.

My answer is that the ~ resurrection of Jesus from the dead is God's ultimate testimony that the worst thing that can happen is never the last thing that will happen . Easter proclaims that the final thing belongs to the Lord-of-Life who refuses not to love. Easter means that cancer and AIDS, human beings' abuse of one another, children with bellies swollen with hunger, natural disasters like earthquakes and floods, and finally, d eath itself do not reign in their penultimate natures. Ultimately, Easter means that God reigns. I suspect that you will remember the Gospel story which is so difficult for us to hear: A "rich man" decides to decline the invitation to la y down all his riches to follow Jesus. If was an invitation that disturbed the original apostles as much as it does conte mporary disciples. "If it is as difficult for a rich person to enter into God's Dominion as it is fo r 'a camel to pass through the eye of a needle', then who can be saved ?" Jesus' first beloved s asked. H e looked at them a nd said, "All things are p ossible with God." (Mark 10:27) We are weak and empty; we are dying. God sh ows love fo r us by d ying, not for the strong and full (for whom even w e might be willing to die) b ut for the weak and empty. (Romans 5:6-8). Somehow, by God's grace, experiencing this sacrificial love in our flesh and bones, this depth of commitment to the uncommitted , is to be set free in the sure and certain understanding that even though one might fall from faith, he-or-she can never fall from Grace. To this, God's "Good new s," w e can only shout, hooray and hallelujah. This is the triumph of God in Jesus' resurrection on Easter. Rev. Peter D.

This parade featured a man who came as a conqueror. There had been others before him - and since. Yet, he was different. His weapon was an unrelenting love that exposed hatred, greed, self-deceit and apathy for what they truly were - destroyers of life. He saw each person as they might be -vibrant, personal centers of love and compassion. His strategy was even stranger. Rather than drafting or coercing people into an army, Jesus gave himself in companionship and invited others tb "come follow." _,,_ From Palm Sunday, Holy Week proceeds to Maundy Thursday and for some, Good Friday and Black Saturday evening vigils. We can't pole vault from Palm Sunday over the v alley of the shadow into Easter. Through the expe rience of Maundy Thursday and Good Friday w e come to know at a deeper level the meaning of Jesus' statement, "Whosoever shall lose his life will preserve it." As people with Easter in our eyes, we are able to see how life is filled with opportunities for God's love and compassion to overcome the hardness of the human heart within ourselves and within our world. It is impossible, as Easter people, to see an opportunity for love and not find a way to be an instrument of the love of God. Through our Easter offering, Mesa Verde United Methodist Church will participate in the resurrection of burned African American churches in the South that were targets of racial hatred. We will support the work of two summer work teams that our Annual Conference is sending to rebuild these churches. Mesa Verde United Methodist Church, 1701 Baker, Costa Mesa .

Some of lns best creations are the seafood dishes, such as the seared Hawatian ah1. Here, sushi-grade ahi is seared rare and then served simply over a bed of sauteed spinach with a tangy but not overpowering soy vinaigrette. The preparation allows the fresh- ness of the alu to be the star, yet in a manner more elegant than on a straight sushi platter. In similar style, swordfish ls marinated in a cilantro-ginger sauce, grilled and served over a large portobello mushroom cap. The swordfish was perf Pclly cooked, and the marinade is not overpowering, although the gar- lic mashed potatoes served alongside seemed out of place.

ANDREW STEVF~ liARl)IS ~Pb NEWPORT UEACH -The state has agreed to reimburse Orange County for the $7 .4 mil- lion dredging of Upper Newport Bay -but because of a proce- dw-al glitch, the money won't be available for at least several months, officials said. Ordinarily, officials said, the county would have worked out a dredging agreement with the state ahead of time and the reim- bursement would have been only a routine matter. But because the state money for the project didn't become available until the dredging was well under way, state and county officials find themselves having to draft the agreement retroac- tively, complicating the normally straightforward process. Larry Paul, manager of coastal facilities for the county, said the state has already budgeted the .. money, but the county has to sign an agreement before the state sends the check. •They just recently sent a revised draft version of the agree- ment that we will revtew quickly here," Paul said. •And if 1t proves to be sabsfactory. we will take 1t to our Board of Supervisors for approval." Officials said they don't fore- see any major stumbling blocks in drafting the final contract. •Jt's just some minor language tweaks," Paul said. ·one of the problems is that it's an after-the- fact agreement. A standard agreement would have been signed prior to going in, but here we're trying to get the agreement while we're continuing with the project.· . Officials said they hope to complete the agreement m -the next few months and they expect the payment to come m several installments. BRIEFLY Reforestation project begins second phase Newport Beach has launched the second phase of its Corona del Mar reforestation project by replacing 40 ficus trees aJong the East Coast Highway. The project, a Jomt effort between the city and the Corona del Mar Business Improvement District, will eventually include the entire south side of East Coast Highway between Avocado and HA%el avenues. Repairs made every few years have regularly cost the city more than $50,000, officials said, with annual trimming reqwring an additional $5,000. The cost of the reforestation project is estimated at $70,000, with half the expense shouldered by the business improvement district. The first phase of the refor- ~station project is expected to run th.rough May 21, and will include concrete cutting, tree removal, plumbing and irrigation installa- tion. and laying new concrete. -. .

Take Soffer's inantra about the cat-and-mouse game he plays with the public: ·111e lower the expectation you have, the higher the chance you will be pleasantly surprised," he preached. · SOffer maintains a regular clientele for good reason. He has a hearty menu, live entertain- ment nightly and some unique gimmicks that keep customers coming back for more. The colorful lamps are turned down -way down -inside the steakhouse. There is room for 80 diners and about another 40 more ·at the bar. Oil paintings adorn the wall and plastic, checkered tablecloths cover the card tables. There aren't any salt or pepper shakers on the table. Soffer doesn't want customers ruining the flavor of his steaks. Saddle up to the bar and get a drink. They are pretty stiff. Pick up the change and you'll get $2 bills and silver dollar coins in return. "Any time a $2 bill pops up in Costa Mesa or Newport Beach, you know that person has been to Sid's," Soffer said. I decided to call the restaurant the next day after our debacle. The phone number was listed in a volwninous directory at the newspaper. U you happen to get the phone number -some people would kill for it-you'll hear a tape-recorded message from the man himself. "Don 't tell nobody," Soffer says.

JUUEM~N Balboa Peninsula Newport-Mesa is doing more with less T his is in response to Phil Bishop's letter "Schools ask for handouts too often" in the March 20 Daily Pilot. It's no wonder that Newport- Mesa schools are m such dire finanaal straits when the public is so nusinformed. Doesn't Bishop recall the county investment pool's billion-dollar bankruptcy in 1994, which devastated our school distncts and left Newport- Mesa one of the hardest hit? How about the embezzlement inci- dent? And he has the nerve to say the school district "ls standing here with its hand outl " Public schools struggle with fwiding wider normal circum- stances. It is to Newport-Mesa's credit that it educates our cluJ- dre n as well as 1t does. Yes, property taxes should be enough to support the schools. However, he has forgotten that there was a little thing called Proposition 13 that reduced prop- erty taxes, and along with it pub- lic school funding. years ago. Bishop is right about one thing -lottery money is a JOke. Ask any school district adm.irustrator m the state, the lottery has not been the windfall to our schools that the public seems to think it 15. Ldtely, Calliorrua has ranked 49th or 50lh in the nabon m terms of the amount spent per pupil in ' the classroom. ls this the legacy we wish to leave to our children? Newport-Mesa is doing more with less and has been for some time Bishop didn't mention any suc- cess.stories in his letter. Did he read the Pilot article last year about five Newport-Mesa high COMMUNITY COMMEllllY school students -from the same high school -being accepted to Ivy League universities? The Estanda alumna attencting Har- vard? The Costa Mesa grad attending Dartmouth? Newport-Mesa should be com- mended for the quahty of educa- tion it gives to our students on a daily basis, with teachers at the lower end of the salary range for the county. Shouldn't teachers, who deal with the most precious of commodities -our children - be paid more than professional athletes? Where are our priorities? Educating our children should be our No. 1 priority -no matter what the cost. Think about it, ignorance and lack or education have a direct mJ1uence on the world's greatest problems: wars, cnnte,poverty,disease,env~on­ mental ills, raoal and religious intolerance. Unfortunately, it looks like Newport-Mesa will continue to do more with less as long as peq- ple believe any a.mount o( mon---·" spent on education is too muchz.s::,~'llol UWANSAS Costa Me§!a / • Sometimes crazy ideas make the most sense N ewport Beach Mayor Dennii O'Neil is con· vmced I 1tm crnzy.

Just after he arrived m Catifomia in 1952, some close friends introduced him to yachting and he unmectiately caught the sailing bug and went out and purchased a boat •1t was around 24-feet with a yawl rig,• said Weiss, who JOi.ns the Daily Pilot's Sports Hall of Fame, celebrating the oncorrung millennium. During his inaugural sail aboard hls new boat he ventured out into the Los Angeles harbor and encountered something he will never forget. "It was only the sec- ond occasion I'd ever sailed a boat. I'm sailing around by myself when all of a sudden I the 1973 Transpac aboard SunderUng, and finished third. He has also been aboard boats in races such as San Diego-to-Manzanillo; Puerto Vallarta; Acapulco and countless Newport-to-Ensenadas. He served as the Bahia Connthian Yacht Club Commodore m 1987, ihe NOSA Commodore m 1990; Commodore of the Southern CaWonua Yachtmg Association m 1994, and is a former Vice Commodore of the Orange Coast YC He has served on the NOSA Safety Corruruttee; the Ensenada Committee; Boat lnspectlon Committee and has been Chairman of Ensenada Race Headquarters.

Smee that time he has honed lus sailing skills and hasn't rammed anythmg since. Weiss, his two sons. Jeff dnd Linton, and family frlend Mark Gaudio, share ownership in a well-known Cal 25 named Gorilla Dust. In 1996 their team won first-in-class in the Cal 25 Nationals.

CONTINUED FROM 81 ploys, however, it has been difficult to conceal the talent Mwphy possesses, or dtsguise her passion for swimming. "She's very goal oriented, driven, and committed to the sport," said LaMont, a first-year Harbor coach who coached Mwphy previously, for a time, with the Irvine-based Novaquatics club program. "I don't know if you could say she inspires her teammates, but she gives them an idea of what swimming should be . When we talk to our girls about times, sometimes they can be just a number in the sky. But when they see Amy swim that fast. it helps them make the connection.• Murphy enjoys connecting socially with her high school teammates, though she seldom works out with the team, opting instead for the more-intensified club workouts. "I look forward to the high school meets and I really enjoy them,• Murphy said. "I've made a lot of really good friends on the team and I really like the new coach." The feeling is mutual for LaMont, who capitalizes on that goodwill by frequently shifting Murphy's events to most effectively combat the strengths of Sailor opponents. "She's a freestyler by nature, but she fills in wherever we need her, because she's so versatile,· LaMonl said. Mwphy finished 12th at the CIF Southern Section Division I Finals in the 100 free and 200 free last spring, after finishing sixth in the 100 free and 13th in the 200 free at CIF Finals as a freshman. She was Sea View League champion as a freshman in the 200 free and was second in the 100 free. She finished fourth in the 100 free and fifth in the 200 Cree at league finals last season. Murphy is currently focusing on achieving this year's loftier CIF-qualifying standards, as well as a bidding to qualify for her first junior nationals. "I've been doing a lot of stroke work this year, trying to get more efficient," Murphy said. "I had a tendency to push at the water and be real choppy, but I'm becoming a lot smoother and working more on rotating my shoulders and hips, rolling through the water and grabbing the water to get a good pull." As her training schedule tapers toward the lugh school postseason, Murphy plans to eclipse her personal records in the 100 (54.03), 200 (1 :54.3) and 500 (5:08). Though her grueling workout schedule extends year-round, Murphy said she is anything but burned out. NJ still love it,· she said. "It's basically my life, but I enjoy it so much. And I know it's going to pay off, too. I'm hoping for a college scholarship. lf not, swimming can at least help me get into college."
