By Susan Deemer, Daily Pilot COSI'A MESA -They are the •poorest of the poor," the most unwanted in society, the oues who may never find a path that leads them off the streets. Although the city's growing homeless and needy population can easily find food on weekdays at chariUes such as the Someone Cares Soup Kitchen or the Save Our Selves food pantry, they are left to. fend for themselves on weekends. Since the city told Santa Ana- based Isaiah n, The Call to Inti- macy ministry to stop handing out food to the homeless and needy on weekends at Uons Park a week ago, several local nonprofit agencies were asked to offer their facilities. Although the city is also help- ing the ministry to find a new location where it can hold its weekend picnics and offer coun- seling, this Saturday they may not have a place to go. Rep.

By Tim Grenda, Daily Pilot COSTA MESA -Christian radio talk show host Richard Agozinoon1bursdayvehemently defended the statements he made on KBRT-AM (740) two weeks ago, calling for new laws to make homosexuality a crime punish- able by death. lesbians. That crossed the line." Since the controversial broad- cast, KBRT station manager Ed Personius has firmly stood behind Agozino and his 'station's right to free speech, calling the frank dis- cussion of ·homosexuality just a part of good radio. He denied that Agozino's show on homosexuality -which fol- lowed a similar discussion that posed the idea of imposing the death penalty on all adulterers - was some sort of KBRT publicity stunt. "We don't look at this incident as some sort of public relations coup,• Personius said. "It's sort of a disruption, actually." The station invited LaPointe, aBd other gays who were upse~ by the comments to an on-air debate of the issue, but they refused, Personius said. : In an interview broadcast• Thursday live on KBRT, AgozinO: defended the broadcast th.at ha1. thrust him and his station into the.. national spotlight. .

MAAC MAATtl I DALY PILOT KBRT-AM radio talk show host Rich Agozino poses questtom to his l.llteners. Personius said Agozino did not advocate killing homosexuals on the show: he merely raised the question as a topic of discussion. •This is a talk radio station and we try to deal with interetting and provocative topics,• he said. "Or else you won't be in commercial talk radio very long." KBRT, owned by Crawford Broadcasting Co., ls one in ~ chain of 18 Christian radio sta- tions the company owns aao~ the country, including affiliates in. Alabama, Texas and New York. \ The mere suggestion outraged and frightened the Orange Coun- ty gay community, which quickly rallied to condemn Agozino and his message. •Tuey talk constantly about the homosexual agenda and they've always said we're sinners, and that's their right to do,• said BW LaPointe, publisher of •ne Blade,• a Laguna Beach-based news magazine for the homosex· ual community. •But what really shook us to the bone was this person who, quite seriously, espoused using the death penalty for gays and Personius said KBRT remains dedicated to an "open, truthful, unedited dia)ogue and nothing else" on the controversial topic Agozino raised.

By Barry Faulkner, Daily Pilot NEWPORT BEACH --The Estancia High footbatl team's 35-6 nonleague sea- son-opening victory Thursday over Centu- ry featured offense, defense, sped.al teaim and some healthy postgame perspective from Eagles Coach John Uebengood. ~We've got a long way to go, because our league (competition) is better than this,• said Uebengood, who watched bis team click on virtually all cylinders against the Centurions at Newport Harbor High. It was the third str&lght win for Estancia and third straight victorious season debut. Included in the Eagles' solid display was the as-promised passing attack, which senior quarterback Justin Wolter triggered for five completions in 10 attempts, 78 yards, and one picturesque 28-yard touch- down toss to junior Manu Tanielu . Senior James Dawkins, the Eagles' lone All-Pacific Coast League returner, rushed for 131 yards and two touchdowns on 21 carries and added an 87-yard kickoff return for a lD, on what be later called one of his worst games ever. •1 just wasn't mentally ready tonight, and that can't happen,• said a cojltrite Dawkins after- ward. •The line did a good job and our passin·g game and defense won it for us tonight. I give all our other guys a lot of credit for playing well tonight.· Llebengood would have preferred more efficiency from his team's ground game (218 yards on 48 car- ries). But that was all but quibbling with an effort that should supply plenty of confi- dence, as well as a foundation to prepare for the aforementioned PCL grind. •1t was good to see Justin throw the football the way he did, and he also did a good job kicking (perfect on five conver- SJons), • Liebengood said. Four of Wolter's completions produced first downs, including his only hookup to Ta\1.ielu on a perfectly thrown fade just inside the right corner of the end zone mid- way through the third quarter. The Eagles, who also got 54 rushing yards from Tanielu and 58 combined rush- ing and receiving yards from Dominick Meyers, scored on five of their first 10 pos- sessions, before killing the dock by down- ing two snaps at the Century 25. • A rare miscue set up Century's lone to1,Jchdown, as the Eagle punter touched his knee to the turf while fielding the snap at his own 33 late in the third quarter. Pour plays later, Century • sophomore Joel Valdez found Jaime Chavez on a roll- out pass to thwart what woul(l have been Estancia's first shutout since a 27-0 verdict against Century in last year's opener. The Eagles' defense, spearheaded by senior lineman Mike Briano and senior _ .. • Sea Kings fall victim to iLa~ Beach's Domin, 9-5. .. •' By Molty Yantty. ~ Pflot ,.__ ________________________ ~ inside linebackers Andy Galicia and Ger- man Diaz, limited the visitors to 59 rushing yards and only 41 more through the •air. They also forced three turnovers, including a Meyers interception and fumble recover- ies by Steve Wilson and Aaron Dew. Dew's recovery was set up by a blind- side quarterback sack by senior John Har- ris, a 6-foot-3, 318-pound converted water polo player competing in his first varsity game. Junior linebacker Jeff Thompson and Meyers, corning up from his comerback spot, each had crushing hits on Century opponents to round out the dominant defensive display. Estancia went 82 yards on 10 plays with its second possession to open the scoring, as Dawkins covered the final 27 with 1 :30 left in the first quarter. After one of several short punts followed Century's ensuing possession, the Eagles went 47 yards on seven plays to make it 14- 0 with 1:07 left in the half. The drive's key play was an 11-yard Wolters pass to Mey- ers on third-and-six. Dawkins answered Century's only score by picking up the ensuing kickoff and out- rwming all pursuers to paydirt. He then capped his productive night with his sec- ond 27-yard scoring scamper with 4:25 left in the game. The only downer for the Eagles was an apparent minor injury to senior two-way starter John Uebengood Jr.'s left knee. QUOTE OF THI DAY "He~ Beech't ~Domin)·-~the bell.

THE RETURN OF .. , • Could it be the return of Corona del Mar volleyball to .forefront? CIF Division I preseason poll predicts it. By Molly Yanity, Daily Piiot CORONA DEL MAR - When Steve Conti took over as the head coach of the boys vol- leyball team at Corona del Mar, he inherited a 4-10 team and turned it around to where the Sea Kings were within a breath of the CIF championship in just a couple seasons. Last fall, the girls volleyball team at the Back Bay high school witnessed its third straight losing record (6-12). another miss at the postseason playoffs and an unofficial end of a dynasty. Or was it just that the dynasty was on hiatus? Conti replaces Brian Charti- er as the girls coach Uus season Wlth hopes of proV10g that the program that posted back-to- back national titles m 1992 and '93 LS alive and flounshing. "We have set goals as a cOdching staff and as a team to definitely get back to the play- ofls," Conti said. The CIF volleyball coaches seem to think that is legitimate as they tagged the Sea Kings as the No. 9 \earn m the state in D1V1s1on I in the preseason poll. "I would imagine some of the votes came in because of the name of the school," Conti said. "That's not to knock what the girls are capable of, because we do have a core of five or six returners." Last season's starting setter, Corre Myer, returns for her final prep campaign. "She is steady and consis- tent," Conti said. •she works extremely hard and has really taken on a leadership role." Also ma.king up that core is All-Sea View League First Team selection Sarah Petry. Petry has spent her first three seasons as an outside hit- ter, but Conti is trying to tum her into a middle blocker in order to get her, senior Jordana Havrilu.k and sophomore Jamie Brownell into the game at the same time. •we're training (Petry) to be a middle blocker. She's picking it up really fast. She's a fast learner, but she's been an out- side hitter for a long ti.me,• Conti said. "But she has a real- ly good attitude and if she thinks it'll help the team win, she'll do it." The Sea Kings also have senior Brooke Reese, junior Whitney McDonnell and Dnu- tra Havrilulc, a sophomore up from1&v~ty. vying for the middle~ position. Senior Audrey Anhood and Paige Woodward, a junior, are battling for the right side posi- tion, while defensive specialists Marissa Becker and Kerry Wil- son will also see time on the wood. Conti believes that his team's strengths are camaraderie and ball control. "We're still trying to figure out where to put who, and how to get the best players on the floor at once,• he said. "They are working extremely hard and moving in the right direc- r------------------------, I I I I I I ' I I I I I I I I I I I L----------------------=-~ tion." B'eing away from the girls' game for a couple years when he coached at Foothill, Conti said that he is hoping to take some of the momentum from last spring's run with the boys to the girls' court. "It took us a while to show (the boys) that the hard work will eventually pay off," he said. "That's what we're trying to sell right now: Hard work will pay off for us in the future.• The Sea Kings head to the Fountain Valley T9\lllla.tnent this 4'eekeild to kick. off "the season and a .Preseason slate that boasts a handful of ranked teams. "This is not a schedule I did, but I have no complaints," Con- ti said . "I like it because we'll see some extremely tough · teams in preseason and that Will preface the league." Corona del Mar will see Laguna Beach, Huntington Beach, Calvary Chapel and Mater Dei before plunging into the Sea View League with Newport Harbor and Santa Margarita. Costa Mesa snaps 26-matc:h losing streak • Ybarra's debut is a smashing success; tvf esa belts La Quinta in three. COSTA MESA -With a 26- match losing streak looming over her squad, rookie head coach Yvette Ybarra told her team to be tenacious in its first game. te-na-clous a. holcting fast; adhesive1 retentive; pertinacious. But. in volleyball vocabulary, it simply means to go after every ball, never quit, play hard. And the Mustangs defined it perlecUy. The 26-match losing skid is over. Costa Mesa is 1-0. •niey played tenadous. They BRIBES played every ball and went after 1t," Ybarra said of her team's 15-2, 15-5, 15-10 nonleague victory over La Quinta Thursday evening.

Pellow classmate Kelly Chapin tallied 10 kills and five ctigs. while Evelyn .Powers slammed down a game-high 11 kills and notched 10 digs. 'Ille Mustangs' sophomore Oaylan Kelley put up 27 assists. •1 don't know what to say." an ecstatic Ybarra said following the game. •They were ready to play."

Equality. 1bree unrelated events that showcase women in sports will culminate over the next couple weeks to touch the lives of young girls, raise money for breast cancer research and sene as a shining example ol equal pay for women in prof~ional athletics. Girls, Incorporated of Orange County has teamed with Oshman's Sporting Goods and the UCI athletic departmmit to provide a sports development program for local girls today, Sept. 12. The Orange County Race for the Cure, a run/walk at Fashion Island, will benefit the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation Sept. 28. Finally, the 1997 World Championships of Beach Volleyball, which features some Orange County athletes, takes place at the UCLA Tennis Center and will have $600,000 up for grabs marking the first time that men and women athletes will compete for equal prize money. This event began Thursday and wraps up Saturday. 0 Students from Estancia and Costa Mesa High Schools, Currie Middle School, Summit Day Center and TeWinkle Intermediate converged at the 60,000-square foot Irvine Osbman's for the second of three Girls, Inc. events where youngsters play different sports, sample equipment, eat pizza, ) drink Gatorade and listen to stories told by athletes, coaches and administrators. An on-going athletic program at Girls, inc. in Costa Mesa called "Sporting Chance" hosts age-appropriate programs to develop athletic skills and positive attitudes. "Stucties show that girls tend to lose self-confidence and self-worth between the ages of 9 and 14 years old,• Girls, Inc. President Susan Wampler said. •1t•s during these years that girls becxwne more vulnerable to negative outside influences and to mixed messages about risky behaviors.• Enter the tool known as athletics. By opening up the huge Oshman's store with a half-court basketball floor, mini tennis court, batting cage and simulated driVing range and golf course on a video screen, the participants get a chance to play. "We must, as a community, play a part in shaping the lives of tomorrow's women," Oslunan's Irvine store manager Chuck Potter said. "If we don't work together to help them have positive expectations for themselves and pride in their abilities, who will?" UCI athletes like Anteater hoopsters Kirsten Kappel, Sabrina Robertson and Leticia Oseguera, tennis players Alexis Brown and Amber Christianson CORREC~ION Mesa's Davidson OK It was incorrectly reported in the Sept. 5 edition that Costa Mesa High senior Brandon Davidson would miss the first three games of the Costa Mesa High football season for discipli- nary reasons. Davidson is, in fact, eligible to play for the Mustangs, who open their season tonight against Sad- dleback at Orange Coast College. molly yanity and golfer Jerome Valentin were on hand to instruct the youngsters. The Anteaters talked to the kids about fitness, strength, team work, playing fair, time management and practice. ·we are committed to reaching into the community and helping to introduce young girls to the benefits and sheer fun associated with sports participation," UCI assistant athletic director Charlie Wright said. President of Women's Sports Services discussed the possibilities of other jobs in sports for women besides being the star athlete. She pointed out that an increasing number of women are sports writers, photographers, equipment and clothing manufacturers and more. The next Girls, Inc. event is Friday, Sept. 12 at the Irvine Spectrum Oshman's from 5-7 p.m. Contact Potter for directions and more information at 450-0211. 0 Last year approximately $300,000 was raised by the Orange County Race· for the • Cure. With two weeks remaining until the actual race, the number of registrants has already tripled from last year's mark. The Race for the Cure is a series of races held in 77 cities throughout the country. It is ma.king its sixth date in Orange County. •The numbers are already three times as high," a representative from the Komen Breast Cancer Foundation said. "We're expecting between 18-20,000 participants." This event includes a 5K race and a 1-mile run/walk. The Foundation, celebrating its 15-year anniversary, was founded by Nancy Brinker, the wife of Norman Brinker who o\vns Brinker Enterprises (Chili's Grill and Bar.) Brinker's sister was Susan Komen, who died of breast cancer at age 36 leaving behind two young children and a husband. Brinker promised her dying sister that it would be her mission to improve the education on the disease and the research. Brinker began calling her husband's friends, which included the chairman of American Airlines (still a national sponsor), and put together the first race. Prior to this year, the Foundation had raised $65 million. As awarenes -tm. partidpation -bas grown. tbe Race for the Cwe bas alr'Mdy raised $20 mlllibn this year. 1\venty-ftve percent of tbe proceeds from each race goes to the national foundation supports research .. But 75% stays in the community for local research, free ma.mmognuns, educational services and other support amenities. The Foundation representattve 1'. urged that those wishing to a,~ participate preregister. { • Poems can be picked up at sponsors (Cbevro11. Kaiser Permanente, Memorial Care, Tenet.

Volleyball Professionals and the ''J • Women's Professional Volleyball· .,, Assooation -at the World Charnpionslups of Beach Volleyball. l The most fascinating issue I behind this show (asid,e from the incredible competition that will undoubtedly occur) is that it is the first time men and women will compete for the same amount of prize money when they square off for $300,000 each. HThis, to me, is where the future lies," WPVA star Nancy Reno said, ·where men and women are in the same arena . t • • -different games but the same ->", arena -playing for the same -, r money." ' ..

The cost is $50 plus a $10 . material fee payable to Sandoval in class. Call Orange Coast College at 432-5880 for more information. \(,I OIUOl s OPl:\I\(, Hl snrs \I:\\ sr \SO\!
