Doily Pilot
No reason Ice Chalet closure should mean end to skating
Sometimes the stars line
up Just nght.
In recent days, some
pretty bad news has been
waxing through ttie ran.ks (not
rinks) of ice skating junkies
who populate our fair county.
After a 27-year run. the Ice
Chalet in'Costa Mesa's Mesa
Verde Center is expected to
shut its doors at the end oflhe
month.
While Ice Chalet brass
have been tight-lipped over
the rink's imminent doom,
Paul Freeman, spokesman for
CJ. Segerstrom & Sons -
owners of the property on
which the Chalet rests -indi-
cated to the Daily Pilot that
the. onct!-popular ice nnk is
havtng a tough go these days
generating sufhoent com to
Illdke the thing profitable.
The heddlme is indeed too
bad for the folks who have
spent many days and years
wobbling and SCTdtch spin-
ning their way uround the
Chalet's aging ice. Some
Chalet patrofil are so gnef-
stncken that they've scumed
to harvest s1gndtures ford
pebbon to Sclve the venerable
ice hall.
I apprec-ldte both their
clisappomtmPnt and the
energy they've invE'sted to
secure d s tay-of-execution
for their beloved nnk. But
the Ice C halet's dcas1on is
strictly a pnvale business
matter and not one to be
meddled with by the city or
any other concern.
My own thinking is that
Uus IS d blessing m dJsgwse,
but not because I'm not
enamored wtth ice skating. To
the contrary My wile and I
rarely rruss ctn opporturuty to
Byron de Arakal
BETWEEN THE LINES
watch our nation's amateurs
ln a national or world com~
tition on televisioQ. Their ath-
letic skill is truly worth the
appreciation of us clubfooted
dorks. And on more than a
few occasions we've taken
our four children to skate at
the Chalet.
Nevertheless, the demise
of the Ice Chalet is a cosmic
opportunity for Costa Mesa
and some savvy business
players lo bust a sweet move
on a long-standing problem
plaguing our city. Here's my
Uu.nki.ng:
For the last 10 years, the
Costa Mesa City Council and
Planrung Comrniss10n have
been setting new standards
for contortionism in a tortured
attempt to build a public
skateboard park for our city's
youth.
II you've followed this
Sdga, you know that the per-
sistent and thorny banier
standing between our lods -
with their Front-foot Impossi-
bles cllld Kick-flip McTwists
-and a skate park has been
the inability of the City Coun-
al to find a spot to build the
thing. Either nearby residents

have torpedoed the park's
location as a threat to their
~ce, or the open-space folks
lMfV,_e ecuttled it for fear it
would consume too much
greenery. 1t wasn't until last
.,.ear that former Councilman
Joe Erickson proffered the
idea of building the park on a
scruffy little dirt lot at the
intersection or Charle and
Hamilton streets on the West-
side.
Now, I deeply adnure
Erickson as a man of immense
fairness and conunon seT1Se.
But when he began pushing
for -and convinced a majori-
ty of h.Js council colleagues of
-the swtability of the Charle
dlld Hamilton tundra for the
city's skate park, I'm thinking
that It wasn't the trophy idea
or tus council tenure
The site JS a dlve. It's
ringed by a cham-link and
barbed-wtrerence,apartJnent
and single-family home
neighborhoods, and the rac-&-
track that is Harbor Boule-
vard. There ure no sidewalks
and no restroom facilibes. It's
hardly the ideal SllE', it seerris
to me. where dozens of lods
can safely ply th('II recreation.
At least where my own sortS
are concerned, thc•y'U not set
foot there so long c1s lh<'y
expect to be led.
But there's stili lime to
dyndlllite the Chcirlt> dnd
Hclllll.ltoo boondoggle

culture IS lo under1>land lhdt

ty's Tony Hawk d1ld Andy
McDonald wannabes is a
place called Vuns at the Block
of Orange shoppmg mdll. If
you've eve r been to Uus
indoor/outdoor skaleboarchng
dreamland, you know how
impressive at is. The problem
ts it's simply too far away for
Costa Mesa skaters unless
they can drive themselves or
beg their folks for a nde.
You can see where I'm
going with this. The closing of
the Ice Chalet is a great
opportunity to transform 11.s
aging hulk into a scaled-down
version of the Vans skate
facility in Orange. And the'
idea is worth exploring for d
number of redSOns . .Among
them: It takes the Charle and
Hamilton site oU the map. 11
takes the city out of the skate-
boarding business, and it
offers up a first-class facility
where kids cdO safety skate m

testimony
•Accused murderer
expected to speak
today, his attorney says.
Deepa Bharath
DAILY PILOT
SANTA ANA -A packed
gallery and members of the
media Tuesday anxiously
awaited the much-talked-
about testimony of accused
murderer Eric Bechler.
But a1l they got was some
serious number-crunching as
forensic accountant Scott
Weitzman explained the
assets, the cash flow and
transactions of Bechler and
his wife, Pegye, in great
detail.
Bechler is accused of mur-·-
dering his 38-year-old wife to
get his hands on her $2.5-mil-
lion We insurance policy.
Bechl~ has pleaded not
guilty d maintains his wife
was s ept underwater by a
giant wave during their boat-
ing trip off Newport Beach on
July 6, 1997.
Possibly the prosecution's
last witness, Weitzman sum-
marized his review of wore
than 22,000 pages of finan-
cial records in one day of
testimony. ,
The much-anticipctted
Bechler testimony would
have happened today had
Thllf'sday's hearing been
held. H was canceled because
of attorneys' conflicting
schedules.
Defense Attorney John
Barnett has indicated that
Bechler will be one of his first
witnesses. On Tuesday, he
said it ·seemed possible" that
Bechler might testify today
after the cross-examination of
Weitzman, when the defense
wiµ begin presenting its wil-
n~sses.
The prosecution tried to
establish that Bechler had
consistently borrowed from
his wife, never paid her back ·
and even depleted their three
children's bank accounts
about a year after Pegye's
death.
Weitzman also demon-
strated that between January
and June 1997, Pegye had
written checks amounting to
$66, 140, money that, records
show, Bechler deposited into
his account.
Weitzman added that
Pegye, in tum, had borrowed
only $20 during that six-
month period.

Emphasizing her deep family
roots at Crystal Cove, Smith said she
was excited to join arms with others
fighting Freed's resort.
In 1876, Smith's great-grandfather
