AIDING TJiE AGGRIEVED You might think J .C. Hopper has an utterly grim and thank- less job. The 25-year·old spends his days steeped in death, toil- ing in a clinically white room among the recently deceased and the pungent smell of chem- icals. For thousands of paople who don't know his name, he will mark the final stop before they are consigned to dust. He likes the work. For the year and a half he's worked at Paciiic View Memorial Park in Corona del Mar, the mortician has found satisfaction in •help- ing people grieve." THE PROCESS Hopper's work begins soon after someone dies, when he ·removes the body from the coroner's office or a home. He is immaculately groomed and wears a tie, and part of his job is to comfort the recently bereft. The body then goes to the "prep room" of the mortuary, where Hopper lays it out on one of two white tables and makes an incision at the neck. As blQod empties from· the body through the opened vein, sluicing down through the grooves of the table toward a drain, Hopper injects two and a half gallons of diluted embalm- ing fluid into the carotid artery. This preserves the corpse for viewing. Usually the process takes a couple of hol.trs. Contending with a dlsease like jaWldice, which lends the slun a sickly yellow tint, requires more time. The cabinets of the prep room are full of colored dyes inte nd- ed to restore the skin to a sem- blance of its natural shade. Often Hopper will massage the body's hands until color comes to them. Sometimes -he applies a coat of makeup to the race, though ·he likes to avoid "that real made-up, cosmetic look." . YOU HAVEN'T LOOKED THiS GOOD IN YEARS When this grim back-r<>om business is completed, the body is dressed, casketed, and wheeled out to be viewed by the loved ones. Hopper's tri- umph comes when they take hiro aside to say the departed "hasn't looked this good in years." "It lifts you up," he said. "That will keep me happy for weeks. I enjoy the fact that I can do something to make a person viewable." Despite his pride in his work, he dqesn't tall( about it in certain social situations. "U l'IJl around a bunch of wise: crack people, l won't mention it," he said. "I do try to keep it low-key." · Hoppe~ a Long Beach native who lives in a company- provided apartment in Whitti- er, studied Mortuary Science at Cypress College alter a coun- selor suggested the field would synthesize tus interests in psy- chology, cosmetology and art. "It was real natural to me,'' he said. "It felt good. It felt• comfortable ... I thought about how you . could help people with this." · At mortuary school Hopper . met his girlfriend, who is an embalmer at another Orange County mortuary. In his spare time, he plays the piano and swing-dances STILlNESS Though he has become accustomed to the sight of corpses, some of them still dis- turb turn. Hopper recalled reconstruct- ing the crushed head of a 4- year-old boy who died in an accident about a year ago. "l think about turn a lot." he said. "The fact that he has to dle and he's only 4 years old -it really hits you heavy in the heart. Luckily the majority of the time we get elderly people." He added, "My ability to make (the boy) presentable to his father -that's what makes it all worthwhile." -Story by Christopher Gottard, photo by Brian Pobuda I I I I I I I I ' I I I I I I I I I I I I I ., I ·1 I I I • 1 I I I I I I A bnef in Saturday's and Monday's Daily Pilot contained the · wrong date for a communJty meeting with the Orange Couµty Pair Board of Directors to discuss noise complaints surrounding Cirque du Soleil.

The old band said the herd was restless. Sure enough, something happened, and the herd took off. The leading man, William S. Hart, Hoot Gibson or Tom Mix, finally got the herd turned a.r:oUJ'}d so it was running in a circle. Ip the meantime, the .hero's best friend went down in the middle of the rushing catUe and was trampled to death. . Well, people stampede, too. I was once trampled by a herd of people. It was on the ~land of Saipan during World War II. Iwo Jima had not as yet been taken. Almost every nightJapanese planes from Iwo came down and bombed us. When the air raid siien went off you climbed out of your cot and went into your slit trench. Mine bad been chopped out of the lava roc k by some Japanese soldi~r. Since he had been robe rt gardner shorter than I, my feet stuck out of the end of the trench. Big deal. We didn't really worry about getting hit by a bomb. The odsfs were against it. We did worry about all those jagged pieces of anti-aircraft shells that came thudding down. Most of all, I worried about the eight-hole latrine about 12 feet from my slit trench. U a bomb hit thpt latrine, I was in serious trouble. So, like that herd of catUe in the movies, everyone was a ht· tle nervous about air raids. On this particular night, we were watching a movie, "Lau· ra. •The scree.n had been-put up at the edge of the coral reef. We officers sat down on the ground in front of the screen.

Something hap- pened, a piece of the hut slipped or something, and on~ · of the men working on ~e hut yelled, ·watch it!•. That did it. All of a sudden, for no other reason than that yell, the enlisted men in the back of the crowd were on their feet running away from that sound. Ifi an instant, the rest of the enlisted men were running, too. We officers down m front hadn't heard the yell. The next tiling we knew a couple of hun· d.red enlisted m en were running over us in their boondockers. None of us were hurt, just bruised a litUe and comple~ely baffled by what was going on. ' HaVlllg a bunch of men run over you isn't comparable to being run over by a herd of cat- tle but is a somewhat startling experience.

But Shapiro isn't exactly leav· ing the neighborhood, either. Working as a consultant with Pacific Development Partners, Shapiro will make a bid for city- owned land across from Triangle Square in hopes of building another multi-retail center. Another, developer is compet· ing for the site with plans to build a Borders Books and Music store. , "We thought about (develop- ing the site) for a number of years," Shapiro. said. "We wanted to see-a continuation of the down· town revitalliation. But after Th- ang)e Square was built, . th~ city wrote a new general plan and slow.ed de,ve}opment." Under Costa Mesa's revised general plan, a pro1ect such as Triangle Square could not go more than . 70,000 square feet, Shapiro said. It is for thi$ reason that plans to pursue a project across the street have been slow, he said. But the proposal by another developer renewed Pacific Devel· opment Partners' interest in the 19th Street site Former City Councilwoman Mary Hornbuckle said rapid growth dunng the 1970s and ear· ly 1980s sprouted a slow growth movement in the community. The 1990 general plan, adopted in 1991, was a result of that move- ment.

He later ran sever- al small businesses including Moped and plant and garden businesses. His fiair tot developing multi- level projects started in Los Ange- les about 15 years ago.

" •Los Amigos squeezes the Eagles dry with four in the sixth, two in the seventh in Estancia's final tuneup before Pacific Coast League play, starting Friday. By Roger Carlson, Daily Pilot COSTA MESA -Estancia High's Eagles learned a lesson which goes far beyond baseball Monday afternoon. Lack of communication will get you, .virtually every time. You can count on it. In a game which had no physical errors on either side, Los Amigos High's Lf)bos took advantage of multiple mental errors by the Eagles.to pull out a 6-1 non- league victory on the Eagles' diamond. They virtually squeezed the Eagles dry with four runs~ the sixth and two in the seventh to overcome a . 1-0 Estancia lead which had been produced by Mario Romo, who ~tretched a single into a dou- -ble, took third on an infield out, then raced home when the ball squirted some 15 feet away from the catcher. The toss back to the pitcher. covering caught Romo's b~et and the Eagles had broken into the ;;coring column in the bottom of the fourth. There were few other scoring opportu- nities for Estancia after leaving the sacks loaded in the first inning when Los Ami- gos starter Adam· Schaeffer induced a 6- 4-3 double play to end ~e early_uprising. Aside from Romo's leg-double in the fourth, only an infield hit by Dave Chavero in the fifth inning, a liner off Schaeffer's knee (which KO'd the Los Amigos starter) would break up an other- wise evenUess offense. The real noise for Estancia was with the Eagles' defense, which sell-destruct- ed with the assistance of the Lobos, who squeezed every drop from the Eagles' collective body. • A high bouncer by Gre~ Madrid got it started, a bunt single followed, then Chris Charles doubled to left to tie·the game at 1-1. What wa5 to follow would be three straight squeeze plays, each scoring a run on pit~es Estancia Coach Paul 'Iroxel had called for pitchouts. l"roxel's "pitchouts, • however, never materialized as the Eagles not only served up the fat pitch. but then could not react well to the play. Estancia, 1-4. entered on a high note, with only the la4 of starter Tom Zenus (be went the distance on Saturday) giving way to an attack which 'Iroxel felt was "ready" as they gird for Pacific Coast League play, which begins Friday. One· of 1i'oxel's true needs entering the season was behind the plate and with a C,hristmas special being • played out in March in the presence of junior Victor Garcia behind the plate. Thoxel was all smiles.going in. "There's no doubt," said Troxel, •Vic- tor is as good as defensive catcher as I've ever. had." Garcia just recently enrolled at Estancia, having emigrated from Mex- ico. . ' The coach would not got that far out on the limb offensively, but the scorebook summed up Thoxel's position there, as well, with Garcia in the No. 4 slot And Garcia did not disappoint defen- sively, showing pure confidence and savvy on every pitch, as if he had been with the Eagles for years. ' Offensively he was 0 for 2 with a walk, flying out to left and third. And for much of the game starter Steve Wilson showed some ma1or stndes •• in the right direction. - "He just needs some confidence," said noxel of his big left-hander who ha6 trimmed what had been at one time an awkward delivery mto a far stronger stance. "Over there in the bullpen he's like Sandy Koufax." said Thoxel. Koufax, however, aside from other dSSets. usually got the message, and on Uus day, that's where the Eagles were hurt to the quick m several areas.
