NEWPORT-MESA -Some
school board members said Fri-
day that, realistically, they may
have to consider some sort of
bond or parcel tax to raise
enough money to fully modern-
ize and repair the district's aging
schools.

they are not convinced a tax

-stressed that school officials
will explore fully every other pos-
sible funding source before ask-

Next week, private consul,

board members a massive report
detailing exactly what is wrong
with all the district's aging

The big question is not how
much the repairs and moderniza-
tions will cost -board members
said the price tag could be more
than $100 million, and possibly
more than $125 rriillion. The
question is how the cash-
strapped district will pay for the
work.

•Faith makes the uplook good, the

W hen I was in the waiting room

there was a cute little boy
playing with blocks on the Ooor by bis
mother. The room had games, books,
toys and d VCR. The boy barely looked
up d S his mother was called to go in.
I le JUSl kept on playing and watching

that Sdld "Thoughts for the day• and
went over to look at it. The little boy

Punk icon John Maurer of band Social Distortion
packs a punch that might surprise his fans -Christianity.
• • • • • Religious restoration
JESSICA GARRISON
!kit Pld
A s the bass guitarist for the
band Social Distortion, Jol).n
Maurer is a punk rock icon
to millions of teenagers from
here to Serbia.
But what many of his fans don't
know -and would probably be flab-
bergasted to learn -is that Maurer
himself is a follower of an icon not nor-
mally associated with the punk scene:
Jesus Christ. ·
A devout member of Costa Mesa's
Rock Harbor Church, Maurer tries to
read the Bible every single day.
About three years ago, Maurer
experienced "a resurgence • of religion
in his life. He stopped 'drinking beer
and focused all his energy on his fami-
ly and his religion.
On a recent European tour with the
all-female band Forgasm, band mem-
bers were so taken by Maurer's reli-
gious beliefs they dubbed ,him "God
Boy.•
From England's punk clubs to Ger-
many's rock stadiums to gatherings in
Croatia,
.where he e ncountere d skeptical
Serbs, fans would approach him after
concerts and express shock over the
cross he wore on tus jacket.
His transformation, from beer-
drinking punk rocker to sober, family-
oriented m usician, may seem like a
long, strange trip. But Maurer main-
tains it was, in fact, a short and com-
pletely inevitable journey.
,First of all, he said, it is wrong to
assume that the punk scene, because it
attracts flocks of rebcllious, pierced
and painted young people, is antitheti-
cal to Christianity. The punk scene, he
said, has gotten a bad rap over the
years.
When he was a young misfit,
pierced and painted before such mark-
ings were considered cool, construc-
tion workers and police used to beat
him up because he looked different.
They asswned, because of the way be
looked, that he was diabolical.
But m fact, said the still-pierced
Maurer, be has always been a Christ-
ian at heart. He grew up in a Catholic
family, and actually joined a Christian
church right high school.
But then bis life took a different
tum. An old friend of his from elemen-
tary school, Mike Ness, had formed a
band called Social Distortion. Maurer
joined in, just as the punk scene -in
all its rebellious, drug-using. society-
hating fury -was hitting U.S. shores.
Maurer said the members or his
band were never deeply involved in
drugs. •we couldn't afford cocaine,"
be said, referring to the band's years
spent scraping by, living in a van.'
·1 never really saw a lot of hate and
angst in the punk scene.• he said.
"Socia) Distortion is by no means a
Christian band ... but we did a lot of
love songs.•
"J never

lot of hate
and angst in
the pUnk
scene. Social
.Distortion is
by no means
a Christian
band ... but
we did a lot
of love
songs."

DON lfACH I OAILV Pl.OT
Nevertheless, Maurer concedes, he
was not •a mature Christian" in his
heyday as a rock star.
•1 was in the pit,• he said. He drank.
He lived in a van. He stayed up late.
He got out when his second son was
born three years ago. (He has a ·10-
year-old son who has a different moth-
er, whom he sees often.)
·1 didn't want my son seeing me
drlnkIDg beers and watching TV dur-
ing the day,• he said. "I didn't want
him to have to deal with that. But I did-
n't know where to go. I needed some
tools. And I used prayer.•
His wife of seven years joined a
prayer group, and before long, the two
started attending chW'ch every Sun-
day. But Maurer said he did not really
find his home unbl he found Rock Har-
bor Church. The first time he met Pastor Keith
Page who has quite a few piercings ~lf. as well as an impressive pair of
sideblims, Maurer said be felt an
immediate affinity for him.
He and his wife, who have lived in
Newport Beach for the last seven
years started attending Rock Harbor
Churdt. "It was a glorious day,• he
said.
Then one day after services, Page
approached Maurer and asked him to
1iave coffee. /.
Maurer was utterly touched. Here
he was •just some guy• and the pastor
wanted to have coffee with him. They
went. They hit it off. And the rest is his-
tory.
"He has worked miracles on our
family,· Ma~ef'581d·. Page bas become
his role mode1, he sald. J
Maurer stresses that he is still the
same person he always was. He still
plays in the band. He just returned
from a month-long European tour with
another band. He bas his own record
label. and is also involved in some on-
line ventures.
"I'm not going to get on a soap box
and preach,• he said. ·rm not the
judge and the Jury.• In fact, he sees the
relentless evangelism of some Christ-
ian churches as ·a problem."
Nevertheless, his outlook on life and
his politics have changed subtly, he
said.
·1 can't be tolerant of a lot of things
now," be said.
Punk star Marilyn M~nson's blas-
phemous image offends him, he said.
And on a recent trip to Amsterdam, for
example, he was appalled by the open
prostitution and marijuana use there.
But Maurer also said he doesn't
believe there is a contradiction
between his punk past and his Christ-
ian present Jesus himself, he said, was
sort of a punk.
•He hung out with pimps, prosti-
tutes and lowlifes,• he said
Maurer, summing it up, said be has
handed tus life over to Jesus, but "I'm
still a rebel.•

WHAT'S UP
week and used my lucky pen to
write the lineups. It's a good
thing I'm not superstitious or I
would have been a basket case
this entire season .
Managing 12 girls who range
in age from 8 to 11 is tough
enough without the a~ed ele-
ments of b<jlys. adm.i.ntstrators
and budget cuts. That's simply
my way of sayin!J to all you
teachers out there and that ~ ·
aon't know how you do it. I don't
know how, but I thank you.
Al the flrst team meeting last
February, one parent, Cathi
I iartwell, told the other parents
that thell' kids will "learn a lot•
under my tutelage. In truth, I am
the one who has learned much.
I've learned that my daughter,
Bean, has her mother's inner
reserve of strength. She did not
quit the team when she could
have and she did not give up try-
ing to learn h'ow to hit. Her bat is
very hot light now and she has
turned into quite a good little
catcher.
My goal from day one was not
to wm a lot of games, but to
make sure that every girl on the
team enjoyed the experience so
much that she wants to play
agam next year.
So, I tried to maintain a bigb
level of fun. Our practices were
only one hour when other teams
kept their girls around for Cl!\
hour and a half. I
A few parents ques~oned 'our
short practice policy, so I told
them I would rather have an ') ,
hour of fun than an hour and a
half of practice.
"Practice• sounds like a ptano
lesson and we all know bow
much fun those arc.
I tried to keep the games fun
by m.txing up positions as much
dS I could without nsking too
many defeats. We won anyway.
I learned early on that even
the girls who required the most
coaching wanted to win and
were willing to be team players
to do so. I wjll always remember
them for making my job so much
easier.
I learned that kids will do Just
about anytlung u it's fun. They'll
learn bow to play softball as easi-
ly as they will learn how to play
the piano or clean their rooms -
if it's interesting and fun.
That's a good thing. We
should be fun and kids should
have as much fun as they can
before we grown-ups remind
them constantly that life is not
fair or fun.
And I've learned that I don't
have to drive six hour~ to clear
the cobwebs out of nw head.
What I was looking for was right
here in town. So, to Shannon

Paintball guns have become a

her children were OK and she

"I wondered, who would be

Newport Beach police said
they receive a handful of com-
plaints every year regard~ng
paintball shootings. Sgt. Mik:e
McDermott said if someone is
caught firing one of the guns at
someone, they could be charged
with misdemeanor battery.
"It's not a rampant problem/
he said. "It's typically juveniles
taking pot shots at someone as
they go by. We don't see it more
than a couple of times a year.•
Steve Rickard, manager of a
paintball supply store in Costa
Mesa, said the guns pack a pow-
erful punch. He said the guns
can be calibrated to launch the
paintballs up to 200 mph.
Although players typically
wear padding when they play
with the guns, shots taken from a
close distance -about two feet
-can loove a nAJ>ty mark. j

• Newport Beach's Bob
and Beverly Lewis have
history by the harness at
the Belmont Stakes.
GRBC Rl!.uNG
!Wtfb
No matter the outcome today
at the Belmont Stakes, a Newport
Beach couple will be part of its
prestigious racing history, for bet-
ter or worse.
Bob and Beverly Lewis, who
live in Udo Isle, will send out their
3-year-old chestnut colt, Charis-
matic, which will attempt to
become the 12th horse to sweep
the illustrious 1\iple Crown. lf
Charismatic beats the 11 horses
hying to spoil hls party in New
York, the Lewises will receive a
SS million bonus for the achieve-
ment, plus an estimated $600,000
in first place purses.
• g achievement
•The economics are the least of
our consideration," said Bob
Lewis, speaking from his hotel
room on Long Island. ·we're aruc-
ious to see the race and hope we
can come up with a ll1ple Crown
winner."
Portune has been kind to the
couple before. 1Wo years ago,
they had another horse, Silver
Charm, who went for the Thple
Crown but came three-quarters of
a length short. ,
With today's race, the Lewises
become the third owners in thor-
oughbred history to have two
shots at the Triple Crown. The
previou's two, Belair Stud and
Calumet Farm, were victorious
with their entries in the 1930s
and '40s. Should Charismatic fail,
the Lewises would have the dubi-
ous distinction of losing twice.
•nie odds of this happening to
us are astronomical,~ Bob Lewis
said. •we lost it once before, but
win or l0&e we will be happy. Not
many people can claim they lost
$10 million that is really out of
theu hands."
The couple has faith in their
connections, trainer D. Wayne
Lukas and jockey Chris Antley. It
was Lukas who told Bob Lewis
several months ago when Charis-
matic was struggling that the
horse would be best suited for the
Belmont if he ran in the Thple
Crown.
The Thple Crown is comprised
of the Kentqcky Derby, Preakness
and Belmont Stakes, restricted for
3-year-olds and run over a five-
week period. Winning the set of
elite races can be compared to
winning the Grand Slam events
in tennis, taking all four majors in
golf and achieving the ntple
Crown in baseball. The last llorse
to win the Triple Crown was
Affirmed in 1976.
Charismatic is only now get-
Hf 1\VY Ci Bl [
(flfdj
ting the recognition he
deserves. After being dismissed
at odds of 31-1 in the Kentucky
Derby, bettors sWl didn't believe
the horse could snag the Preak •
ness, letfuig him off at 6-1 .
Although he is the 2-1 morning
line favorite today, it wouldn't
surprise Charlsmatic's owners if
he isn't the bettor's choice come
race time.
•He is the Rodney Danger-
field of 3-year-olds, • Bob L-ewls
cracked. "He's gained some
respect, but there are still many
doubting Thomases. You have
to win. and that is what he's
done." . .
It has been another whirlwind
ride for the couple, who have
been busy promoting the sport.
After opening the New York
Stock Ex.change on Friday morn-
ing, the Lewises appeared on a
live CNN broadcast, Ulen went to
Belmont to see how their champi-
on was faring.

and Jean Rirnpau had no idea
who their neighbors were when
they moved into their Lido Isle
h0{"1e nearly 20 years ago.
As most neighbor relations go,
fnendships are born and pleas-
ant greetings are usually
exchanged, unless there is an
ornery pet or someone exceeding
the appropriate decibel level.

imagined the generosity their

have shown since living next

es to watch what possibly might
become a piec.e of racing lore.
Ed Rimpau and his wife will
be among about 50 people in the
Lewis entourage when Charis-
matic attempts to become the
12th horse to sweep the elusive
Triple Crown. The Rimpaus will
be right next to their neighbors
once again, Uus time screaming
madly when race time arrives.
The couple have traveled
with their neighbors before. In
1997, when another Lewis horse,
Silver Charm, was trying for the
same feat, Ed and Jean were
treated like royalty. Flown on a
private jet, the Rirnpaus stayed
at a five-star hotel, were carted
around in limousines and' given
prime seats for the race.
"The atmosphere is like
going to the· Super Bowl,• Ea
Rimpau said. HWhen we were
traveling around in those limos
that had the horse's name on the
side, people on the street were
cheering and wishing us the best
of luck. It was amazing ....
But the Lewis.'s charity went
beyond an exclusive set of fanu-
ly and fnends Bob Lewis invited
the 1et pilots and the 16 limo dri·
vers to the race. instead of sitting
and waiting, the lucky gwdes
went shotgun -first class.
Those who have worked with
the Lew1ses echoed their neigh·
bors' praise. Laura Grubb, the
deputy director in Southern Cah-
fornia for a group representing
.California thoroughbred 'owners,
said the Lewises are taking their
fame and fortune m stnde. She
remembers one time when she
was leading the couple to their
for the sport than the Lewises.
•I think the name of their
horse, Chansmatic, sums the
Lewises up perfectly,• Grubb
said. "They are so down-to-earth,
which is ruce lo see, espeadlly m
this sport. I think they are probct-
bly one of the best ambassadors
you can have m any arena • •
As for the Rim pa us, they had to
pay for their flight to the . Big
Apple this year. It doesn't matter
It's a small pnce to pay to see theu
neighbors have a shot at history. ~
"He told me before the Ken-~ ''
tucky De.iby to watch out ... this
was a good horse," Ed Rimpau 1
Sald. "I figured he was going to
gel killed m that race, but he
won I was a scream.mg idiot for
bke 30 minutes after that race 1

Costa Mesa High is

Schubert, who also does free-

Since Donna chose to live
th the Piecemakers after her
·vorce in 1985, her children
have had none of those things.
AJ the group evolved and grew, · '° did its influence over their
mOther, her children said.
The Piecemakers, also known
as the Body of Christ Fellowslup,
tS a group of about 30 people
who live communally in six
homes in Mesa Verde and run a
country store on Adams Avenue.
They have had a number of
run-ins witl1 city and county
government because they
believe God's law is above
man's, and have been cnticized
by former members and family
members as a •destructive cult.•
A year ago, 25-yea.r-old Tom
Halliburton was graduating
from Cal State Fullerton after
working his way through col-
lege. He invited his mother to
the ceremony, along with an
aunt and uncle who are also
members of Piecemakers,
None of them showed up.
Donna said she would go only
if all 30 of the Piecernakers were
itlvtted as well, Tom said.
' •Jt really hurt him that she
was not there,• said anoth~r of
Tom's aunts, Cathi Smith. "It
did. It hurt him ...
You'd.never know by looking
at him. Tom and the rest of his
4iblings are well-adjusted indi-
fiduals, thanks mostly to their
~ther Dennis, who raised tbem

BREAKING
WORLDLY BONDS
Severing family ties and
breaking up relationships is a
common practice among cults,
•high-control" groups and otber
similar organizations, several
experts said.
"What these groups do is they
basically put a wedge between
insiders and outsiders," said
Dol)J Whitsett, adjunct professor
at l'.JSC's School of Social Work.
"They also put a wedge
between parents and children.
They put a wedge between hus-
bands and wives.•
Breaking down these bonds is
a control mecharusm and a way
to destroy a member's support
system, s~d Kaynor WeiShaupt,
a marriage and family counselor
specializing in cults dDd high-
control groups. .
Shedding these worldly ties is
part of the •walk" Piecemakers
take to shed their flesh and
become more like God, said

Mane Kolasin::.ki, the group's
leader.
Kolasinski said the group is
only following Scnpture. She
said in the Bible, Jesus said to
leave your mother. father, broth-
ers and SlSters and follow him.
• 1 stayed with my husband,"
Kola&inski said. "I seived my
family, but in my heart, I love
God more than 1 love my chil-
dren."
Kolasinski likened Tom's
desire to have a relationship
with his mother as a deS}Ie to be
an idol in lus mother's heart
"God comes hrst." Donnd
agreed. "He should come first
for everyone.•
Donna said her children have
had .a good life and everything
they needed. She said they
always knew where to find her
and benefited from having other
Piecemaker members around to
support them.
But no one, the children
agree, and nothing can take the
place of a mother, the comfort of
her love and having a personal
bond with the woman who gave
you life.
UNANSW ERED CALLS
Donna's children described
calling the Piecemakers to speak
to their mother. Instead of hear-
ing her voice, they would often
get a stranger on the line who
would speak to them. Even

when theu mother did get on the
phone, it would only lead to
"meaningless conversdtions· -
the kind you would have with an
acquaintance rather than an
intimate family member, said
Tom's brother, Don Halliburton.
"'U I call my mom up to come
over for dinner so we can bang
out and talk, she'd No. 1, have to
get pE:nrussion; and No, 2, bring
somebody else along," he ~id.
rt is very common for cult
members' relationships with
hunily members and friends to
be very restricted, Whitsett said. ·u the cult member lS
allowed to visit, they almost
always go with someone to
make sure they are kept in line,•
she said.
Julie Millington, Donna's
eldest daughter, described
going to dinner at the Piecemak-
ers' and having practically
everyone talk to her but her
motber.
The Piecemakers l.Jve com-
munally in six homes in Mesa
Verde. It is common for them to
share in child-rearing, and hus-
bdnds and wives don't live
together or share sexual or other
mtunate relations.
"Anybody who 1s married
and wants sex, if you walk close
enough to God, eventually you
won't want 1t," Kolasinski said.
•Jt feeds your sex instead of your
spintuality. •
Pastor Bruce Sonnenberg of
the Village Church of Irvine said
he has seen fir thand the
destruetion wrought on families
by cults.
Sonnenberg has counseled
former cult members. Three of
those who said" they stepped
away from cult-livtng came from
the Piecemakers.
·cults tend to divide the fam-
ily for the purpose of focusmg
the thoughts of th<' t.ndividual on
the cult," Sonnenberg said.
Family members who aren't
emotionally attached to cults are
seen as people who will dis-
suade the member from pa.rnc1-
pating, he said.
In religion-based groups,
these •outsiders• dre often rel~rred to as "evil" or the·· dev.
il," Wlutsett said. the Bible will
also be used to justify the
group's practices. Many times,
those passages will be twisted or
taken out or context
"I am sure God did not mtend
for people to abandon their chil-
dren," Whitsett sa1d
A DEVASTATING LOSS

TAKING ADVANTAGE OF
THE VULNERABLE
Anyone at one point in their
lite can be susceptible to a such a
group, experts say.
People who do fall into cults
are usually vulnerable m some
way . -they may have h~d a
major lafe change or just gone
through a divorce, or they could
just be new in town and lonely.
"These groups can pick up on
that and take advantage of peo·
ple with real dependency needs,"
Enroth said.
Nevanka MiJaliC came to the
Piecemakers at a time when she
was ready to take her own life.
She was tdldng multiple antide·
pressants, was heavily in debt
and came to the Piecemakers
asking them il they would bury
her.
Talking about her introduction
to the group, Nevanka becomes
overcome with emotion and grat·
1tude. She said the Piecemakers
paid her bills, etren though she
was a stranger. She has been able
to recover her life and has found a
happiness working at the Piece-
makers' store as a cook. It's a hap-
piness she never had wo~king as
a registered nurse, ~he said.
Another group member, Amy
Johnson, said she came to the
group pregnant at 17 years old. In
her teenage years, she was
promiscuous and was involved
w1th drugs. She wasn't sure

Johnson bas been with the
group 10 yea.rs and is raising her
daughter in the group.
"I feel like this is my fanuly."
Johnson said. •This is more my
farruly than my blood could ever
be."
Former members have
described this initial embrace of
kindness as a "hook" to get mem-
bers in. Experts call it "love
bombing.•
"They really offer a lo~ on the
surface," said Kaynor Weishaupt,
a marriage and family counse~or
specializing in cults. "Potential
members are usually subjected to
lo.Je bombing.
"If you're not feeling like that
in other places in your lite, that's
going to feel pretty attractive.•
These groups offer an immedi-
ate sense of family, instant friend-
ship and security, Enrotb said.
MThese groups are meeting
basic hwnan needs -the need.
for family, the need to belong, the
need to have a sense of purpose
iri lite," Enroth said. •Tuey pro-
vide a high degree of commit-
ment. There are a lot of people
who want someone to cosign for
their lives."
A DIFFICULT WALK
Piecemakers members said
they are there by choice. It's a
lifestyle they choose to live.
"We don't ask anyone to live
the way we do,• said member
Katie Neeqham.
The "walk" can be difficult,
she said.
Member Chet Nelson said he
also made a conscious choice to
join Piecemakers more than 20
years ago.
•I'm not brainwashed," Nel-
son said. "I'm not brain-dead."
But sometimes people make
choices without all the informa-
tion, or out of their own vulnera-
bility, Weishaupt said.
In addition, what's known as
brainwashing, mind control or
thought reform can be a very sub-
tle thing.

so subtle that people do oome to
believe it is of their own fref'
will· .said Dom Whitsett. adJunct
professor at USC's School of
Social Work. "People will con-
vince themselves that they a.re
doing these thin~ out of cho1ce.
It's called cognitive dissonance.•
Some of the things that Piece·.
maken members are choosing to
do include cutting off ties from
family members, reporting on one
another, and participating ln ~on;
fessions and group Mcorrection
sessions.
Every morning, they meet for
breakfast in one of si.x communal
homes the group owns in upscale
Mesa Verde on and around Swan
Drive. Members confess their sins
and frailties and a.re encouraged
to •correct" one another. •
Kolasinski· said the Bible calls
for this exhortation, admonish-
ment and edifying. It is part of the
process that brings members fr?m
a carnal or animal mind to a mmd
like God's.
•A lot of people leave because
they don't want to go through the
stripping," she said. •we do stri~
ping of the animal n~ture. ~
cleansing that we re going
through brings us much closer to
God."
Members call it being kind to
one another.
Others said it is anything but
kind. At its worst, a single mem-
ber is surrounded by the rest of
the group and assaulted with
yelling and screaming of profani-
ty and insults.
Former member Paula Halver·
son said at times Kolasinski will
pair husbands and wives with
other intimate partners -
although sex is not allowed in the
group -to create jealousy. When
jealousy surfaces, the group
unites to rid the person of this
dark feeling. The same goes for
feelings of covetry, pride, arro-
gance and self-pity.
"We help one another with our
shortcomings," Kolasinski said.
"Sometimes our words aren't
sweet 'I love you' type of words. 1t
depends on how stubborn a per-
son is.•
Although these sessions can
be painful, change is painlul,
Needham said.

Because the group lives com-
munally, all assets -homes, _cars,

Kolasinski has denied that and
said she too only gets a $10

They feel stupid or blame
themselves for what may have

also are faced with repairing rela-

Often, they face intense perse-

depend on fostering an us~ver

But leaving is possible. And so
is regaining a life of normalcy, but
a person must choose to make the

handed show to a Jevet of enjoy-
ment JS the fierce detennination
and unflagging spirit of the prin·
opdJ figures in the story, which
sWl is just a half ·step up from
melodr c1Jlla.
Director Jack Millis bas
assembled a strong ensemble
cast to relate the struggles for
success in a strange new land. At
the center is a remarkably multi-
layered performance by Kathy
Simmons as a young mother
bringmg he•son to New York,
where her nusba.nd bas estab-
lished' himself.
Surunons' Rebecca is the con-
science of the show, a bastion of
decency amid the forces of fear,
anxiety and greed. The latter
trait surf aces in the character of
her ambitious husband (Kyle
Myers). who has Americanized
the fanuly's name and cast his lot
with the shrewd, unsavory politi-
cos of Tammany Hall.
An impressive, it occasionally
over-the-toll, performance is ren-
dered by ~da Loomer as
Bella, the young woman Rebecca
befriends on the boat and
remains fiercely allied with in
New York. Loomer renders a
poignant portrait of defiance to
the repression of her stem father
(Brian Harvey) and her sup-
pressed desire to explore this
new land on her own.
Harvey's steely manner is an
effective contrast to bis daugh-
ter's upbeat would-be boyfriend,
nicely played by Steven Josef-
son. Their scenes would work
•6,000 titles of 1'9ntal and sales
even better, however, if a more
logical reason for the fa the r's
opposition were established.
Young Frankie Marrone is
engaging as Rebecca's little boy
and the narrator of the s,tory.
Phillip Schnell irljects some cred·
ible conflict as a fiery union orga-·
nizer, while Janet McGregor
beautifully takes the chill off
Harvey's dour character -illogi-
cal as the seductive sequence is
-in the number "1b.ree Sunny
Rooms." _
The taped musical back-•
ground occasionally slows or
derails the show, most noticeably
in the "What's Wrong With
That?" number headed by Tam-
many boss James Emery. How-
ever, it doesn't stop Loomer from
delivering a most impressive
vocal rendition of the musical's
title song.
Todd Kulczyk's century-old
New York set desigri effectively
resembles the artfully artilicial
backdrops of the movie version
of MWest Side Story."
Since most of the action is sta-
tic, Melanie Jacobson's choreog-
raphy is limited irl its effect,
while the drab period costumes
of Tom Phillips and Larry Watts
fit the mood of the show splen-
didly.
Don't come to "Rags" looking
for a lot of laughs, but be pre-
pared for a heart-rendering his-
tory lesson in early Americana. It
may be a bit on the melodramat-
ic side, b\lt it leaves a lasting
impression.

which include empanadas, a tra-

patrons have the choice of sitting
inside at small tables, or outside

Piecemakers using their righ~ under the law
\our "rut piece• ed1tonal
aqamst The Ptecemakers
("Group is teanng a family
dpart, • May 27) fails to clistrn-
~h between a citizen redress-
ing d grievance and the govern-
ment subjugating a citizen.
There is nothing • incongru-
ous" or "hypocritical• about the
P1ecemakers using the court sys-
tem to redress a grievance -this
1:-. what the courts are for. The
qovernment using the courts to
subjugate citizens -that is what
pohce states do.
One of the basic functions of
government is to •establish Jus-
tice· The Ptecemakers have a
right to defend themselves
against defamation by Tom Hal-
liburton.
Moreover, by swng Hallibur-
ton, the Piecemakers are giving
him the opportunity to prove his
case in court. U he has a case, he
should be delighted with this
opportunity to prove it. If not,
Halliburton will pay a penalty for
his injurious and irresponsible
behavior. His defamation is inju-
rious to the Piecemdkers' busi-
ness and reputation.
Incidentally, a case involving
$5 million, according to the 7th
Amendment, should be decided
by a jury, not a lone judge. That's
assuming the Constitution is still
in force in Costa Mesa. (So your
concern, that the same judge
who gives permission for the fire
chief to violate the Piecemakers'
4th Amendment rights could also
be hearing their case against
Halliburton, is hopefully mis-
placed.)
On the subject of inspections
by the fire chief, the Piecemak-
ers' objection to a judge's deci-
sion to "allow" (read, "coerce")
the CMFD into their store, is a
freedom issue.
Consider: the Piecemakers'
business is a seven-figure enter-
prise covejed by insurance. Both
the Piecemakers and the insur-
ance company have plenty of
interest in protecting themselves
against fire.
Who needs the fire chief? If
the Piecemakers felt they needed
his advice, why wouldn't they
invite him over?
Maybe it's because the Piece-
makers have had too many bad
experiences with government
busy-bodies (the fire chief is a
government agent).
Code enforcers have invaded
the Piecemakers' property, they
have tried to enforce frivolous
rules that impose wmecessary
costs while providing no benefit
except to the bureaucratic power
egos.
To repeat, it is perfectly logical
for the Piecemakers to use the
court system to defend them-
selves against aggressors, as well
as complain about it when it is
used by government to aggress
against others.
In a free state, the courts are
agencies of the people. In a
police state, the courts are agen-
cies of the government.
We all have a legal and moral
right to be left alone, by both
government and other citizens.

Tiii EDllOI
Volleyball court
not the problem·.
-people are
I am writing this letter in
response to Jessica Garn-
-son's May 25 article, "Resi-
dents want to spike volley-
ball court. H Just when I
thought I've seen it all,
some other pathetic citizen
is ready to sue the city
again -over volleyball.
How does beach volley-
ball become dangerous tor
anyone? Are players now
armed? They hit people
with balls?
They are volleyballs. not
'bowling balls. If someone is
not smart enough, with all
the beach there is, to not
lay their towel close to the
court, they deserve to be
hit with the ball.
I live in West Newport
and am on the boardwalk
quite frequently and
maybe the reason it's
crowded is because it's
June -duh! People nor-
mally watch from the
beach, not the bike path.
Unless you're content
with playing jungle ball
with kooks on vacation,
with the exception of
maybe Grant Street, that
court on 24th Street is the '
only one l've seen with
decent play.
I played high school vol-
leyball at Estancia High
School and played a couple
of years in college, and 15
or 20 years ago, THE place
to play beach volleyball in
Newport was down at 52nd
Street. Anybody my age
that played on the beach
back then knows that there
were never any kind of
those problems with citi-
zens. I'm now 35 and have
shoulder as well as knee
problems, and cannot play
anymore at a high level.
But, if I could, I'd be play-
ing at 24th Street.
City Council: please
don't let good Jimes and
good healthy competition
be ruined by a few wet
blankets that have nothing ..
better to do than whine
and complain.

ANAHEIM -Though it was El Segundo
High which eliminated Corona, del Mar in last
yeftr's first round, the Sea Kings hardly view
tQday's 10 a.m. rematch, in the CIF Southern
Section Division IV btlseball champion.ship
game at Edison Field. a grudge match.
•(Last year's 12-2 El Segun~o home victory,
terminated in the fifth inning by the mercy
rule) seems like another era." CdM Coach
John Emme said. •we l>Arely squeezed into
the playoffs (as an at-large team) and (the No.
2-seeded Eagles) were one of the division
powers and lt showed.•
Similarly, El Segundo legends, young
(senior Alberto Concepcion) and old (40-year
coaching veteran John Stevenson), have less
than photographic recollections or last year's
rout.
•Half of our kids weren't even on that
team,• said Stevenson. who owns the state
career victory record with an 863-304-1

record, wh.ich includes 10 previous CIF cham-
pionship-game appearances and tiUes in
196$, '66, 71, '73, '79 and '89. ·And I'm not
sure the ones Who .were, remember much
about it.•

runs and 170 RBis in a record-setting career
which will continue with USC or the San
Diego Paqtes, who made him the 79th overall
pick in 'fue&day's major league draft, said all
be remembers of last year's clash was thet his
team survived and advanced.
This time, neither the No. 4-seeded Sea
Kings {19-8) nor the No. 3-seeded Eagles
(25·6) are likely to forget the experience of
playing in a big league stadium for.the ulti-
mate team trophy.
•Jt's very, very exciting,~ said Stevenso~.
65, who will retire as the school's athletic
director later this month, but plans to continue
coaching. •it's an experience which will stay
with our kids for a lifetime, as it will with the
kids from CdM. •
It's the first title-game appearance· for the
Sea Kings since their ClF 2-A ch.ijJnpionship
season of 1981. Emme's senior-dominated
squad won a share of the Sea View League
crown this spring, its first league title since
1982. .
El Segundo, which has sent 40 players to
the professional ranks during Stevenson's
tenure, induding Hall of Pamer George Brett,
clabned its 28th league championship under
Stevenson by winning the Bay League.
Cd.M mUscled its way through the playoffs
with an 8-4 win over St. Paul, a 13-9 verdict in
eight innings at San Dimas, a come-from-
behind 10-9 triumph over Chaminade and a
12-1 trouncing of top-seeded La Quinta.
El Segundo slipped past Santa Ynez, 4-3,
topped Central Union, 8-2, belted Costa

Few took note on Bob, but
two years later he had earned a

· was doing excep-

that was the fact that

Russell and guard

Yardley wa:s one of
those who faded olf into military
service rosters.
The Yardley brothers picked
up the game essentially on
BalbO'a Island, but would give
Harbor High Coach Ralph Reed
a wide range of credit.
lt is fair to say that both migbt
well recall ample influence
which came from their father, the
late George Yardley.Sr., who
starred himself in basketball and
baseball at the UniVersity of
Chicago and was a longtime
friend of famed coach Amos
Alonzo Stagg.
George, Class of '46 at
Harbor, wound up in the
Basketball Hall of Fame in
Springfield, Mass.
Stout Yardley fans do have
recollections of Bob, Class of '49
at Harbor.
Bob attended Menlo Junior
College near Stanford foe one
season {1949-50) and one season
{1950-51} as a single-season
record-breaker at Orange Coast
College.
He was an All-Eastern .
Conference player while the
Pirates struggled to a 9-19 record
under Coach Miles Eaton and
finished in a tie for sixth place in
the conference.
Bob scored 468 points in 23
games, a 20.3 ave1age. It stood
as the highest scoring average in
Advancing to the NCAA
tOurnament's "Final Four· was
an inunense struggle for the
Buffaloes, who had rarely
worked their way into the big
time cage action.
•Jt was kind of fun.• Bob said,
and noted that Colorado did
have two future Olympians on
the teem.
Although the lofty status was
uplifting, Bob was quick to say
his team lost by 30 points to
Russell, Jones and the Dons.
The Yard.Ieys were always
pOwerful in tennis, as well.
In fact, Bob was a four·yea.r
letterman at Newport Harbor
and the Tars' No. 1 singles player
for three years.
In the mid-'40s, Bob chalked
up high honors in the annual
Flight of the Snowbirds sailing
race in the harbor. The huge
race often drew more than 125
entries. Bob finished second one
year and seventh in another. In
time, the Snowbird race faded
away.

• South Shore Yacht Club
has that hometown flavor, .
and you can be a member
without selling the house.
Boating, or as the
Vanderbilt's would say,
•yachting," has been
wrongfully accused of being an
elitist activity.
Should we label golf, tenrus,
shopping at Nordstroms, Saks
and Bloomies, as an elitist
activity as well? Possibly, but
there are alternatives.
There are also surfboards,
boogie boards. miniature golf
and pingpong, and we've all
heard of Ross, Mervyns and
Target. Maybe not quite the
same, but they also play a large
role in the lives of many.
Owning a sail or powerboat,
becomes a little more complex
than the above analogy.
First, boats can get a wee bit
expensive. you have to deal with
the initial cost of the vessel itself,
fuel, repairs, maintenance,
insurance, sails, engines,
education, practice and if you
want to race, you generally have
to belong to a •yacht club.•
There are some clubs on the
East Coast that will charge you
IOATlll&
terr once
phdhps
over $30,000 to join with a $350
per month minimum in the
dining room/bar. West Coast
clubs tend to be more
reasonable, J.f you pass the
scrutiny of the membership
committee and part your hair to
the right. The criteria varies from
club-to-club. Once again, there
are alternatives.
Newport Harbor is blessed
with a variety of great yacht
clubs. We have clubs that have
stood the test of time and
represent the activity of yachting
£n its most prestigious form. We
also have clubs that place more
emphasis on casual, less
Corinthian activities. Both serve
a good and wonderful purpose.

LEAVING LITTLE
TO CHANCE
CdM baseball team
will observe countless
superstitions today in
hopes of claiming CIF
Division N crown.
·o n the superstition infested
Corona del Mar High
baseball team, there
remain numerous disbelievers.
But, as the Sea Kings' best
season since the early 1980s
has unfolded this spring, they've
chosen to enthusiastically play
$11ong.
"They don't mess with me,
because I get really ticked off,•
said senior 1)' Harper, the
squad's self-appointed and
universally recognized lord of
luck.
"Everybody has their own
little quirks, including me," said
Coach John Emme. Emme would
neither confirm nor deny the
T-shirt he wears under his game
jersey has not seen the wash
cycle since the Sea Kings'
postseason run to today's 10 a.m.
CIF Southern Section Division IV
title game at Edison Field began
17 days ago.
Emme said he had too many
pregame, game, postgame and
practice rituals to discuss, but if
his pregame breakfast today is
not a chicken sandwich from a
popular fast-food chain, Harper
and the Sea Kings could have a
serious problem.
Harper, a baseball junkie who
was actually named after Ty
Cobb, said he arbitrarily adds to
the stream of habitual homage
directed at any mysterious force
which can help him, or bis team,
flourish ..
•Harper has every superstition .
known to man and if anyone
· breaks one, they have to pay,·
senior Eric Wiethom said.
"It's taken awhile to learn
them all,~ said senior Brett
Elliston, who is among the silent
skeptical minority. "But hey,
whatever works.~
It will start today on the bus
ride to Anaheun, when everyone
must occupy the same seat
they've had all season.
Then, there will be uniform
issues and equipment mandates
-if one player's preferred
batting helmet is in use on the
bases. the hitter takes priority
and a trade is made. Even the
water bottles are sacred.

• On the subject of
superstitions, El Segundo senior
Alberto Concepcion seems to
bave done quite well wearing
the supposed unlucky No. 13.
The senior catcher, who comes in
with 38 homers and 170 RBls in
four seasons with the Eagles,
took to wearing the number after
his father, Alberto Sr., who wore
it when he played. The elder
Concepcion said he wore the
number in honor of former
Cincinnati Reds shortstop Davey
Concepcion (no relation).
• Costa Mesa HJgh baseball
coach Kirk Bauermeister admits
his opinion carries some bias
(he and Emme are friends), but
having played both CdM and El
Segundo in May, including the
latter in the Division IV
quarterfinals, he believes the
Sea Kings are the better team.
"I really wasn't that impressed
wtth El Segundo," Bauermeister
said. "Cd.M has a more solid
lineup top-to-bottom and more
guys who can swing it.•
• CdM ls the first school tn
Southern Section history to play
in the CIF championship contest
in baseball, volleyball and tennis
in the same year.
Esperanza (1993 and '97) and
Calvary Chapel (1994-95) played
m baseball and volleyball finals
previously, but neither advanced
that far in the tennis playoffs.
Esperanza is the only school
to WUl section baseball and
volleyball crowns the same
spring, havtng done it in both
its aforementioned opportunities.
CdM lost in the Division 1 ·

Sea Kings won the tennis crown

bined for 17 hits, two homers and
17 RBis in the postseason.
Senior Brett Elliston (two
homers and six RBis) will start in
right field, while freshman Billy
Eagle, who began the season
with the varsity but played most
of the league campaign with the
junior varsity, will start in center.
Seruor Matt Thiede will start at
second base.
Concepcion 50 for 89 (.562)
with 28 walks in the cleanup spot.
shares the state single-season
Daily Pilot
home run record with 20 and
needs four RBis to tie his own sin-
gle-season state mark. His three-
run homer against South Hills
helped him Break Daryle Warct:s
state career RBI record and he is
one short of Bnan Johnson's state
career home run standard,
The Eagles, however, also fea-.
tum seruor center fielder 'Iravis
McAndrews, hitting .421 with 11
homers and 56 RBis in the No. 5
spot.
Senior Matt Tigani, who will
start on the mound, senior left
fielder Kevin Moore and junio1
. first baseman Tommy Simoneau
are also hitting better than .400,
according to Stevenson.
Tigani, a right-hander, is 8-1
with a 2.37 ERA. In 65 innings, he
has allowed 55 hits, walked 1.8
and struck out 33. He has eight
complete games, but is expected
to share the load with ace
Charles Talanoa, who has three
of his allotted 10 innings remain-
ing after a complete-game semi-
final outing upped his record to
13-2.
The 6-4, 230-pound TalanOd,
the cousin of former Orange
Coast College slugger Scott
Talanoa, is 24-5 the last two sea-
sons, including a 10-hit victory
over CdM last year. He has
pitched in 16 games this spring,
allowing 42 hits and 24 walks
with 96 strikeouts in 85 innings
He signed a letter of intent to
attend Utah State on a football
scholarship, but has since dead-
ed to play baseball at a communi-
ty college.
• (Talanoa) is a warrior and he
has the heart of a lion," Steven-
son said. "He's mentally and
phy~ically ready, he has three
innings, and we'll definitely use
him."
Stevenson said the emergence
of a supporting cast around Con-
cepcion, Talanoa, McAndrews
and Tigani, has helped this team
join the lengthy list notable Eagle
squads.
Emme, well-versed on the
Eagles and Concepcion, having
coached at Bay League rival
Redondo for six seasons before
getting the CdM job last spring.
said his team won't be intimidat-
ed by Saturday's opponent. or the
stadium atmosphere .
"Our guys have reacted well to
situations all year,• Emme said.
"We're right where we want to be
and we'll be ready to go.~
Stevenson, however, believes
his vast experience in CIF title
games could help him create a
bigger comfort zone for his play-
ers.
"Having been there, there are
some things I know that perhaps
Emme doesn't know,• said
Stevenson, for whom El Segun·
do's field iS named. •(Emme) will
be learning things on the job.•
