NEWPORT-MESA
When the unthinkably,tragic
deaths of two children hit the
area May 3, the community
responded with a remark-
able outpouring of support.
Its generosity has shown
no bounds during the past
two· weeks, as those struck
with disbelief have stepped
forward and given what they
can. toys, flowers, cards and
food. Many of the donations
have cost thousands of dol-
lars, but it's been the mtangi-
bles that have brought the
community together.
For the past 12 days, resi-
dents have done more than
expected. They have off cred
a hand to hold, a shoulder to
~ lean on, an ear to listen.
"We have been over-
whelmed with the
respo,nse, • said Rande
Hawkinson, co-owner of
Southcoast Early Childhood
Leaming Center, where on
May 3 a car plowed into a
playground, killing 4-year-
old Sierra Soto and 3-year-
old Brandon Wiener. Four
more children and a
teacher's aide were injured.
•We can't believe how
many people have wanted to
help or asked where to send
donations,• Hawkinson said.
"The response has blown us
away.•
Almost everyone who
heard abo~ the traumatic
event was "moved, §.Od it
touched an emotional chord
that was hard to ignore, res-
idents said. The commuruty
outpouring began just hours

heavy damage at the day-

-Unknown
S everdl of you who read my col-
umn last week about my worries
on Mother's Day last year have
d!>ked me for an update on this year's
c elehrdl1on
I had d wonderful day and I am
lidppy to inform you that my daughter,
Kelly, '
'.>urv1vcd nver rafting, and I sur-
\ 1ved yet dflother Mother's Day with-
out too mdny worries.
I dffi trymg the "pray more, worry
less · dpproach to motherhood. And I
WdS happy to hear from so many of
you thdl ld'>l Sunday was a special day
for your ldm.Uies as well.
After ldlkmg with many of you, I
ha<>'e concluded that one of the top
thmgs that mothers want the most on
Mother's Day, or any day for that matter,
is tl.me with their children and families.
Other top fdvontes were messages and
notes that children wrote to their moth-
ers. 1 have !.uved all the notes my
daughten. have written me, from early
scribbles to yesterday's e-mail.
Words of love and appreoation
Wess both the giver and the receiver. I
had the pleasure of heanng so many
of those words spoken at a special cel-
ebrallon called The Rainbow Lun-
cheon, an annual event of the National
Chanty Lec1gue. I have written about
severdl dtfferent aspects of the group,
bot this luncheon is a highlight for me.
At the luncheon, girls who are
seruors in high school publicly
thanked their mothers for what they
have mednl and done for their daugh-
ters. The 22 girls, who are soon to
91aduate from high school. are also .
soon lo gradudle from the group, and
tbe expenence JS much like a rite of
passdge for these young women
Each daughter chose a speaal song
that pldyed in the background while
she voiced her tnbute. There were
also photographs each girl chose,
which were shown on a large screen
while the mother and daughter stood
on the stage
_ Seerng bdby pictures while looking
at the grown young women was
enough to start the tears, but it was
the words that the girls shared from
lbe1r hedrt that sent the tissues around
the lunch tdble repeatedly.
There were some cute teases
voiced, such as •You were cilways
there when I needed you , except for
the time you forgot to pick me up from
school. But 1t was the publ.Jc affirma-
tion and adrruration that was so beau-
llfuJ. And memorable.
The qood news is that we don't
have to wait for special occasions to
share words of appreciation. We all
have opporturuties every day to pass
on pos1uve messages to othen.. I saw a
great exdmple of this yesterday.
The woman m front of me in the
checkout line at the drugstore compli-
mented the cashier on her beautiful
srQtle.
"You don't know how much that
mecms to me," the cashier said. "That's
the rue.est ttung anybody has said to me
all day, and it's been a long, hard day."
There 1s a verse in the Bible that
says • Llke apples 9f gol~in settings of
sliver is a word spoken in right cir-
cumstances."
Let's go share the gold. And you
can quote me on that.

Missionary takes life one day at a time in Israel
• EDITOR'S NOTE: In February, Daily Pilot
reporter Husein Mashni l~ft the paper to pursue
missionary work in Israel. This rs one in an occa-
sional series of columns written from the pre-
dominately Jewish West Jerusalem.
HUSEIN MAsHNI
It was a ITU.Ssionary's dream. I was
standing in a cellar with a bunch of
guys who had never heard the Gospel. I
was telling them what I could in my
broken Arabic. Some listened and some
scoffed. Most were very polite laugrung
occasionally at my massacre of the lan-
guage.
But then one of the men takes a boy
who was standing nearby and puts
him in the middle of the circle and
says (in.Arabic), "You're God. This is
your son. How could you stand by and
watch as people beat him and cruci-
fied hun?"
The illustrated sermon opportunity
was way to great t.o pass up. The ques-
tion provided a fantastic springboard
from which to share the fact that while
it did cost God his most valued posses-
sion, his own son, he so loved the world
that he was willing to risk the loss to
reconcile the world to himself.
It was truly a remarkable experience
that seemed Lo soften many hearts
toward the Gospel. It made me trunk of
the popular missionary saying, •Why
should some hear twice when some
haven't beard once?"
As I left the gathering, the man who
asked the question followed me out and
told me that he is secretly a born-again
believer. For fear of persecution, he and
others aren't able to publicly profess
their faith in Chnst.
This is one of several wonderful
occasfons that have occurred smce I've
been living in this Palestiruan village
near Jerusalem.
I thought it would be hard to be
here because of my own past and
painful experiences in this land as a
· child. I lived here from 1972-75 follow-
ing my parents' divorce. At that time I
learned the language, religion and cul-
ture.
I became a Chnstian m 1978 and
have since desired an opportunity to
share my falth with the Palestinians.
I thought it Woutd be
herd to be here
because of my O¥«t
past and painful expe-
riences in this land as
a child. I Md here
from 1972-75 folow-
ing my pcrems'
clvorce. At lhat time I
laned the b1guoge,
re'9ionand•e.
I became o' Christian in
1978 and have m
desied Cl1 oppcirtunity
to shcre my faleh wilh
the Pdestl•as.
The dlfbculty J
expected quickly
dissipated as I've
been overwhelmed
by a love for the
people. I've also
experienced a
wonderful accep-
tance from them,
even though they
find it hard to
accept that I'm
, now a Christian.
They seem to get a
kick out of my
accent which some
call •American
Falahi." Falahi is
the Palestinian
equivalent of an
Alabama accent in
the U.S. .
Millennium
madness is in full
swing in Jerusalem and the country is
expecting a huge influx of Christian
tourists next year. Israel is trying to
abate tensions between Christians and
Muslims m Nazareth in anticipation of
Y2K.
There are lots of American here. and
I've met many of them. Sometimes you
'wonder bow many are here with a .
mission and how many are just attract-·
ed to lhe religious fervor that is pre-
sent here :
I was Ulillally encouraged recently •
when I got a handout that listed several •
solid Biblical admorutions for We. The
admonitions were followed by the bibli-
cal addresses and it was refreshing to •
read until I got to the bottom line· "Sin-•
cerely, The 'Prophet Elijah.• / I'm-trying but I hnd it hard to com-
pletely stay out of the political arena.
My' views don't have to be expressed
but I have been reading different publi-
cations and it's A little scary. One tells of
an immanent attack against West (the
Jewish part of Jerusalem) following the
May elections in Israel. It might be
hype but tensions are not far beneath
the surface here.
I'm planning to move further to the
West Bank shortly, will keep you post-~

A simpk plan Of action for a big) new neighbor
B eing a good neighbor isn't
easy. You havf' to bo care-
ful not to play your music
too loud, you've got to keep
your dog from barking all day,t
and you have to obey the
unwritten rule that you will not
paint your house in stripes or
polka dots.
Being a good neighbor isn't
only about obeying the rules. It
means w~tching out for others_.
too. If· your neighbor goes on
vacation and forgets to stop the
paper, it's your duty to pick .
them up and save them for your
neighbor's return. If your neigh-
bor leaves his headlights on, it's
nice to nng the doorbell and let
bun know.
Businesses have to be good
neighbors, too. If they're retail,
they make change for each oth-
er and even mind the store once
in awhile.
Then there is the volatile mix
of business and residential

In Costa Mesd, there is tJ
business/residential btJlllc!
shaping up at Harbor Center
that can, and should be, avoid-
ed. Harbor Center, as you may
know, is the l 950s-era shopping
center being demolished to
make way for a new facility with
Home Depot as its anchor.
l lome Depot will dttract ddy
laborers, mf'o who want to work
at· odd 1obs that·may be avall-
dble from the store's patrons. It's
expc•ctf'd thdt these men will
cong1('gatc near the store
insteud of visiting Costa Mesa's
Job C<>ntN dt 17th and Placen-
t1tl, about hv<' minutes away by
car. TI1e Job Center is the city's
dearingbouse for day laborers
Men orrive in the morning <tnd
wail in numbered order for any-
one nP.edmg ddy help.
But now there is an ind1ca"
tion that Home Depot, qwcldy
turning out to ue the city's 300-
pound gorilld, may need some
"neighbor lessons.· Sadly, our
City Council, in an effort to be
too good a neighbor, appears
too willmg to support the worst
port of the retail giant.
Last Monday, I was pleased
by Elise Gee's Daily Pilot report
of an •action plan• filed by
l lome Depot that calls for the
drre:tt or citing by the police of
' laborcr!ii or contractors who 'do-
not use the Job Center. To do so,
howeve1, Home Depot would
have to cdll m the pohce
because it 1s conSldered private
property. OK, I thouqhr, so far,
so gOod
Then it got goofy. TI1ere Wds
tdlk or moving the Job Center
closer to Home Depot, of
expdnding the hours and of
ttddmg pobce support ta the
, ptogram. There even was talk of
charging the day laborers a fee
and of pnvahzmg the Job Cen-
ter, which costs taxpayers
between $80,000 and $100,000
a year to operate.
To move the center will coc;t
money dnd will likely upset new
neighbors 1n1e center is locat-
ed in d business district. The
dred drotmd Home Depot is
ldrgely residentidl) Expancltng
the hours also will cost money,
about $42,000, according to the
Pilot report.
When the dddition of Home
Depot was announced, one of
·the chief concerns of the resi-
dents of College Park WdS day
laborers. Sunply put, thf'y did
net want mPn who were looking
for work to loiter m and .iround
their neighborhood
I don't blame them. Now,
however, there seems to be
some btlcksliding. So, in order
to fortify our <;:ity Council and
deliver a cledr message to
Home Depot. the day laborers
and the cootractors who uc;e
them, I'll present my own
action plan~
Any day ldborer caught out-
side Home Depot will be drrest-
ed or cited, dS will the contrac-
tors who.support their dctiv1ty.
Home Depot staff members will
call in the police early and
often The Job Center will stay
right where it is and the hoUTs
will remain the Sdffie' unless
denldnd mcre~e dramatically.
The Job Center will not be pn-
vahzed, nor will the laborers be .
chdtCJed d. fee. lri short. every~
thing will remain the same.
Should 'cbanges to this plan
cost any money -that is,
should extrd police be required
to onforce t"he ws or should
demtmd tor day laborers be so
high that more Job Center
hours are required -Home ·
Depot will cough up the dough.
That's it.
The taxpayer of Costa
Mes<! should not have to fool
one cent of the bill to hx th.ls
mess. lf Home Depot's pre>s-
ence create this problem, then
Home Depot'~ money can c;olve
it. It's all pilrt of bemg a good
neighbor.

history will repeat itself today
when their horse attempts to grab
the second jewel of horse racing's
Tuple Crown.
Bob and Beverly Lewis will
watch with anticipation as they
send Charismatic into the 124th
running of the Preakness Stakes

posted a major upset at odds of
31-1 two weeks ago when he won
the Kentucky Derby.
The couple is attempting to
add another Preakness trophy to
the vast collection in their Lido

in 1996 with Timber Country,
whose ownership included sever-
al other people, and the following
year with Silver Charm. The

HELP YE>UR REALTOR
It may be difficult for you to
step aside and let your Realtor
talc:e over when your home is
listed for sale. You want to stand
by to point out the closet
extenders, the hidden spice
cabinet behind the kitchen door
and the energy-saving windows.
However, if you reallr. want to
help you will leave the· house
when prospective buyers are
looking at your house!
We have found that the sales
process docs not really begin
until buyers begin to voice their
objections about a property.
Sometimes these concerns are
serious enough to remOYC your
house from consideratioa. People
often voice objections as a
defense mechanism be9ase they
really love the house ald want to
buy it. We arc trained to know
the difference. If the seller is at
the agent's elbow the buyer will
not bC comfortable cnoagh to let
this process take pl1ee, and we
could lose the sale. The best way
to help is to give us the room to
do our job.

Derby runnerup Menifee has

NEWPORT BEACH
Thanks lo the prompt action
of a neighbo.r and a working
smoke detector, a fl.re that
broke out in the 4000 block
of River Avenue early Fn-
day monung was contained
by the Newport Beach Fire
Department.
Al 1 a.m.. Keith Beatty
was awake balancing his
checkbook, when he heard
the smoke detector going
off in the house next door.
"Jt was on for a few min,-
utes and r smelled a ~f of
smoke, so I went out to
check lo see,• Beatty said.
Beatty said he was sur-
prised that, instead of waft-
ing out of t1le chimney.
smoke was coming from the
rafters of the empty vaca-
tion rental home.
By the time Beatty spot-
ted the hre, it had spread
around t})e ftreplace and
surrounding wdlls and ceil-
ing. He immecllately called
911.
Firefighters arrived at
1:17 a.m., said Lt. John
Blauet of the fire depart-
ment. They had lo lift the
roofing matenal around the
fireplace to extinguish the
blaze.
The damage was listed
as $25,000 to the property
and $15,000 to the contents.
"I am thankful that the
damage was not more
extensive -it was rather
isolated,• said Susan naut-
man, the owner of the
home.
Firehghlers suspect the
electnc gas fireplace in the
two-story house was inad·
vertently left on for hours,
eve ntually sparking the
blaze.
Blauer said the damage
could have been much
worse had the re not been a
smoke detector. "lf it's not
operating properly, you're
putting yourself at risk,• he
stressed. "The batteries
should be c·hanged every
six months.•

Newport firm creates
ads for stage agency
..
Lawrence, Mayo and Ponder
of Newport Beach has developed
a series of public service
announcements for the California
Department of Health Services
Nutrition Network. The PSAs
were developed m response to a
recent report that physical activi·
ty and low-fat food consumption
were at an alMime low for Cali-
fornia. The drop was particularly
great in the state's African-Amer-
ican and Latino communities.
The ad agency has focused the
spots on good nutnUon habits
rather than reprimanding those
who don't follow them.

Jworld can be turned upside ·.
down. '
You bear a siren and you won-
der. You go to work and you wor-
ry. You do this every day because
_.you know the world is unpre-
dlctable and things come and gp
in a second.
But the stbry at the preschool
shifted gears quickly. Though
numbed by the deaths of two
young children, the community
seemed to pause and then spring
to action, almost as if by emotion-
al instinct.
Firefighters decided to build a
wall around the playground. Peo-
ple dropped off flowers and notes
at the acadent scene. Checks
were written. An employee at a
coffee house set out a donation
cup, figuring it might help some-
how.
People wbo didn't know Sierra
or Brandon or Victoria or any of
the other victims were touched.
The accident somehow reached
that one nerve ending that pro-
pels them to do gpod.
Evil happens. But so does
good. And the thought is that
. . .
good-in the lcmg run -WlllS.
But it takes more than a wall or
a check and even a impulse ot •
pure good will. ·
A couple of years ago my · ter
died. It was Shocking, out ol the
blue, something that gnawed at
us for a good long while. But my
family was comforted by friends,
cheered and made to feel that -
yeah. it's true enough -life does
go on. And it did.
But one day, right after the
funeral, I think. everyone finally
went home. We we w ere alone,
left to deal with the reality lb.at
someone was gone and we
wouldn't be seeing her anymore.
That was reality.
What's happened the past few
days in Co$ta Mesa is nothing
short of remarkable. So many
good ~pie, so many good
deeds. There will be healing, no
doubt People will open their
hearts and the things that are bro-
ken will be put back ~ether
again. People are3ood that way.
But a 3-year--01 boy and a girl
who was only 4 are still dead.
And that is reality.
Among the notes left at the
day-care facility was one that was
simple and short.

Flowers began to arqass in
tront of the mangled fence. Then
came \i)e stuffed animals -
1 bears a'hd rabbits -placed
,wnong the legion of petals and
stems. Other children wrote
~ and letters to Sierra and
Brandon's families , expressing'
remorse.
~1 think a lot of people bave
been affected by it, from the
police officers I know were on the
scene to council inembers to fire-
fighteq ... anybody involved, I
think, has been deeply affected
by it," said Costa Mesa. Mayor
·Gary Monahan.
The makeshift memorial still
remains. And there have been
other gifts: a $10,000 check from
a jailed record company execu-
tive. A handcrafted flower made
of beads in front of the dance stu-
dio Owned by Sierra's mom.
•A tragedy stops people in
their tracks and brings out that
good quality," said Sandy Hill,
community relations manager for
the li"auma Intervention Program
Inc., an organization that has
counseled the families of lhe
school children. "We have this
empathy for those who hurt, and
in tum, we want to help. It shows
that ai the heart of the communi-
ty are people who really care.
Hopefully. some of that lingers
and t;:arries on." ·.
People couldn't-wouldn't -
stop. Over at Diedrich Coffee on
17th Street, employ~s decided .
to donate their tips to the school.
They collected $450 on the first .
day.
· A Little League team bought a
box of baseballs at a local sport-
1ng goods store, and then the
players all signed them. They
sent the baseballs to the sct'!ool-
children.
"I th.ink th.is shows how small
and tight-knit our community
really is," said Diedrich manager
Mary Johnson. "I think we are
also witnessing some good things
co rning out of this tragedy. This
hit dose to home for everybody."

We have a great deal of sympathy

Even though our association has the
authority to make the homeowners
comply with the guidelines of the ruJes
set forth by the Dover Shores Commu-
nity Association, many homeowners
refuse to follow these ·
guidelines. There is also a large
clump of eucalyptus trees that not only
blocks our view but could be a poten-
tial fire (hazard] if struck by lighthing.
Some of these are on property
under the jurisdJction of the fish and
game commission or the Coastal Com-
mission. U we can't get our association

Please allow m& to explain my other
reason.
When we moved into the Freedom
Homes"'8J'ea two years ago, 1 thought
the park might be a gOod place for the
family to take walks with our dog. One
day soon after moving in, my son and I
took. our dog for a walk in the canyon.
We were walking through when a
man jumped out from the trees end
said, •Hi, what ttme 11 itf• His dothes
were not well kept. kind of creepy. He
followed UI for a blt, trying lo mate

him away.

from the idea that tomeone could

come out suddeft.ty like that. Bad land· 11C8pmV in my opinion. ... J have not gonebedl. •
I have spoken with some of our
neighbors, and they have also told me
not to
walk through there because people
do live inside the canyon. We now dri-
ve
to the Community Center on Park
Avenue for our walks.
SYLVIA BRANSON
Costa Mesa
I am strongly m favor of havmg a
solution for the tree view problem -
whether it be thmning the trees or
removing the trees. I am Crom the Mid-
west. I love trees. But I feel that they
were put up because they were
aggressive g rowers, and we could
replace them with another type of tree
that would allow us who are residents
here to still have an ocean view.
CONNIE MEGLEY
Costa Mesa
I think Costa Mesa should replace
those eucal¥IUus trees in Ccmyon Park
-not with other trees, just cut them
down. That's au.
Tius is the same trouble 1 had With
my tree that l wanted to get out. And
the Parks and Recreation Commic;sion
refused me. They won't rot down the
tree at all. That is the way they are.
SYDNEY TRIGHER

I am calling in regard to the •tree-
mendous· view from Republic
Avenue, and I think it is an absolute
atroa.ty that the trees have grown so
high.
I absolutely love trees. but 1 myself
would do anything to help thin them
out a little bit so that the view would
be reston!d. The whole reason why we
moved into the neighborhood was It
was so qUiet, tranquil and peaceful -

OPPOSED
I am very disturbed by this article
and thmgs going on in general. People
seem to think they can just cut down
anythmg they want in the name of
progress or views (•Residents want
view or ocean, not trees,· May·12).
We have children killing children
and people running down innocent
children in playgrounds, where it is
:supposed ts:> be safe, and people i!re
worried about whether watching the
sun set in the ocean or through a few
trees is a problem.
I think we need to get things into
perspective. Ask them how they would
feel if they lived in Oklahoma Cicy.
There they would have a very good
view of total devastation. There, nature
took the upper hand.
We have to start taking care of the
planet we live on because we are only
visitors here. It is a living, breathing
We fonn.
Lose the arrogance that if we own
it, it belongs to us. Preserve it, dOJl'l
destroy it, because one day it may not
be here for us.

COMMENTARY
A hU:ge tlianks
t<i. school donors
Scorr PAUl.':>EN
Dear anonymous donors:
Thank you for the privilege of serving as
custodian of the donations you have made to
Newport-Mesa schools for many years. Your
generosity has enriched the school experi-
ence of thousands of children in all grades or
the district. You are supporting programs that
provide opportunities for students of our
many ethnicities to get to know each other
comfortably. You have promoted the theme,
•To know us is to love us,• with students and
the Ambassador/Ethnic Forum, and "Intema-
b.onal Ambassador groups flourish at Ensign
Inte rmediate and Newport Harbor High
Sdtools. •
Your goal to level the playing field for all
students is succeeding through your contribu-
tions ~o schools with needy populations. The
RISE (Rapid Infusion of Standard English)
mentor and tutoring programs at one of '\ny
favorite schools, Whittier Elementary, are suc-
cessful examples of your commitment to
helping students perfect English in order to
succeed in school.
As you are aware, not all schools are a ble
to raise sufficient funds to significantly enrich
childre n's school experiences. You have made ·
it possible for students in many.of our schools
to participate in the wonderful Inside the
Outdoors field trips and to have the support-
ive materials and assemblies that exp8Jld the
• information gathered on the trips. Your
dream to create and support extracurricular
nature and science academies at schools IS
being fulfilled, and they serve as another
means to get students together in an excitin9
learning environment.
The students at TeWinkle Middle and
Ensign Intermediate schools and many ele-
mentary schools have opportunities to visit
places and see and study critters they might
not eve r see any other way. You helped get
one of the fantastic academies at Newport .
Harbor High School off the ground, and
expanded its library, again benefiting hun-
dreds of students.
Your total support of the schooVcommuruty
coordinator positions on 17 Newport-Mesa
campuses has encouraged the creation or
local parenting classes and additional English
as a second language classes for ~nts .• The
coordinators have done amazing thlngs in .'
bringing community members into closer
relationships with their schools. Ask Amparo
Ames at Ensign school, Isabelle Vmson at
Whittier or Liliana Zeroualli at Newport Har-
bor High about the changes they have seen •
dunng their te nures. See how emotional
(they become) when they talk about their
people and programs. Their commitment and
excitement is duplicated in every school
through.out the district with a schooVcommu-
nity coordinator. They are remarkable peopl&
doing a very unique job.
Students and staff members at Adams,
California, College Park, Davis, Kaiser, Killy-
brooke, Paularino, Pomona, Rea, Sonora, Vic-
toria, Whittier, Wilson, Ensign. TeWmkle and
Newport I larbor High (all schools with signif-
icant nunority or needy students) are enjoy-
ing learning experiences available only
because of your incredible vision for equaliz·
ing opportunities (or, as you say, •leveling the
playing field") for kids.
Be aware that every student in the New-
port-Mesa Unified School District benefits
from your gifts. The bank interest generated
by your donations is used by the Newport-~
Mesa Schools Foundation in its annual pro-
gram to provide grants to teachers in our
schools.
I was away when I heard about an article
in which it was suggested that you had
reneged on a pledge of money for a certain
program. l know, and you know, that nothing
could be farther from the truth. A propoMl
must be submitted in order for you to dedde

STREET
CONTINUED FROM A 1
Although construction ts at
least three years· away, it was a
~rlority to involve business own-
""ers from the outset, said Peter
Nagh8vi, transportation services
manager.
The city bas not f\q:lded the
project, which' is projected to cost
$5 million to $7 million.
The nut step is to approach
the ,City Council with a request to
begin recruiting residents who
can serve as representatives on
the ad hoc conunittee, Nag;t>.avi said. • .
ll the contract fof the Environ-
ment.81 lmpact Report is awarded
in August, the ad hoc meetings
could begin by late August or
early September.
Bill Ross, owner of the Starv-
ing Artist and an elected repre-
sentative to the ad hoc corrunit-
tee, said the majority of business
owners who attended the May 5
outreach meeting did not see
\Vh\' widening 17th Street from
four to six lanes is needed.
Some were frustrated that the
--oty had progressed so far in
drawing up plans before corisult-
i.Jlg busfuess owners, he Said.
•They bad drawn up four
plans, all of which called for a six-
lane street.• Ross said. •No other
alternatives were considered or
presented.•
The most aggressive of the
four plans, one not favored by
city engineers, would affect 35
parcels of land, require 34,500
square feet of land acquisition
and result in a loss of 41,700
square feet of landscaping and 79
parking spaces, according to staff
reports;
..
That option alsO callS !Or B~r
sldewalk,s and a fully landscaped
median that wou1d cut off lert-
tum access to businesses. City
staff favor a less dramatic alterna-
tive that does not include as
much landscaping or sidewalk
improvement, but woul~ require less right-of-way acquisition, less
parking-space loss and a broken
mediap. that 'W'Oilld provide more,
left-tum access.
"The big, big tssue is• not
bloc:k::ing off the business access
from left-tum lanes,· sald Jim
Gray, co-owner of Temptations
Salon, another e1ected represen-
tative to the ad hoc committee.
Business owners also said they
are concerned about the poten-
tial loss of business during Con-.
struction, Ross said;. ~Most of th&
small businesses cannot sustain
another hit like the one we had in
the late' 60s anp '90s, when the
• economy was bad,• Ross said.
Gray alSo said he was interest-
ed in seeing the city improVe the
look of 17th Street, along with its
dynamics. He said trees, side-
walks and landscaping are need-
ed to make the street more attrac·
tive,
Though ~rious concerns were
raised at the three outreach
meetings held by the city in the
last three weeks, bllSiness own.
ers are being realistic about the
need for improvement, Gray said.
As a 12-year resident of New-
port Heights1 Gray said he bas
seen traffic grow in the last five years and anticipates more con-
gestion in the future. He hopes .
business owners and the city can
find a middle ground in the
widening of 17th Street.
·1 detinitely see the traffic
coming,· Gray said. ·we can't
avoid it. The question is, can we
avoid ,.. making it a highway.•

CONTINUED FROM A 1
Marion Pack, director ot the.
Costa Mesa chapter of
Alliance For Surviva.J.
For the last 20 years, eo-~r
Since the Qovemment tned to
build a nuclear power plant
neftI her house tn Cleveland,
Pack has been a 1>4cifist and
an anti-nuclear activist.
~ Hotel. Up ·to 3,000 anti-
nuclear activisl.5 would gath-
er at the comer, cbanttng
anti-nuclc«r slogans. Often.
they were joined by anti-anti-
nuclear protesters,1 Who
would ifnlass on an oppqsite
comer, yelling righ~ back.
•vou organize because
you learn to enjoy the
process1 and 11ow impcrtant It
l.S-, ~ she stressed.
Pack said the motley group
of about 100 protesters will
amass nea.r Sooth Coast Plaza
because it iS •a historic place
for demonstrations in Orange
County. n (They caution fel-
low travelers to not park in
the South Coast Plaza park-
ing lot, because their cars will
be towed.)
"We want to raise aware-
ness in Orange County that
there a.re many people
nationwide that do not sup-
port the military action being
taken in Yugoslavia,• Pack
added.
American taxpayers are
footing the bill to kill innocent
people aru:t· destroy a country,
said Pack. She. for one, is not
going to stand by and let it
happeil, and going to the mall
to protest.
During the 1960s, Pack
said, arms dealers held an
annual conference at the
ln the 1990s, liberals gath-
ered there to protest against
-the G1,1U War a:rrd thef:leath
penalty.
Now, said Pack, they're
gathering again to protest the
bOmbing of Yugoslavia.
They'll be-flashing peace
,signs at passing motorists,
and h olding up signs that say
•Peace Talks, Not Bombs•
.and ·Stop the Boffibiog: Start
the Talklng• and, of course,
the old standard: ·war does-
n't . decide who's right or
who's wrong, ooly who's_ lert. •
Many on the left who tradl-
tionally oppose United States·
military actions are split over
this military action because it
was initiated by a Democratic
pre:sident and because Ser~
~-an President Slobodan
Milosevic has been implicat-
ed in ethnic cleansing:.
But Pack and Appel, along
. with other activists from other
groups, say they have no
doubt that all wars, including
this one, are wrong.
, And though they say being
left-wing iil Orange County
can be a lonely struggle, they
are determined to persevere.
•r have pretty strong feel-·
ings about it,~ Appel said.
