Following_ in big footsteps Stuttgart Ballet's artistic director still finds inspiration in the example set bf the former director under whom he danced. Alex Coolman DAILY PILOT W hen the Stuttgart Ballet first rose to international prominence in the 1960s under the British artistic director John Crank.o, it was Reid Anderson who danced in some of the compa- ny's most prominent roles. In ballets such as "The Taming of the Shrew," "Romeo and Juliet" and "Onegin" -works Cran.ko devel- oped specifically for his company - Anderson was always the lead. Today, Anderson, 50, is the artis- tic direc.tor for the Stuttgart Ballet, which will perform "Onegin" and several shorter pieces Tuesday through Feb. 6 at the Orange County Performing Art Center. Having stepped into the shoes of Crank.o, who died in 1973, Ander- son said he finds the former direc- tor's example both inspirational and challenging. "He was a very great choreogra- pher," Anderson said. "He was always there for us." . Crank.o also was restless in his desire to create material for his company, feeling that relying on a preexisting repertoire amounted to artistic stagnation. 1bis approach is "very impor- tant" to Anderson as well. In his view, it's a use of resources that benefits both the reputation of the company and the skills of its dancers. "One has to put emphasis on (creating new material] because it's part of where we're going to take this art form in the future," Ander- son said. "Where are we going, and what are we going to do with iW Anderson came to direct the Stuttgart Ballet 1996 after a stint as the head of the National Ballet of .. Canada. Since beginning wiO:i the com- pany, he has commissioned works from more than a. dozen choreogra- phers and overseen the develop- ment of a two-week dance festival. Keeping the Crank.o legacy alive also is a major part of Anderson's work. FYI THE STUTTGART BALLET • WHA~ Performing contempo- rary works and "Onegin" • WHERE: The Orange County .

Anderson said "Onegin" is par- ticularly effective in achieving that mission because the story -t>ased on Alexand~r Pushkin's famous tale "Eugene Onegin• -has the power to appeal to a wide audience. "Many people consider it to be one of the greatest narrative ballets created in this century," Ander5on said. "It's the kind of thing that people nowadays still love and want to see. It's the kind of ballet where people that don't go to the ballet say to me, 'If this is ballet, I love it.'• Anderson said he feels senti- mentally tied to the piece just because it was a strong role for him when he danced under Crank.o. "That character was probably one of the best things I did, actually," he said. "It was a character that taught me the way I look and the way I act. It was just perfect for me." In approaching the role today ~d working with Ivan Cavallari, who dances the role of Eugene Onegin in the current production, Anderson said be works carefully to accentuate the strengths in Cav· allari's instinctive technique. "You're always drawing out of the person what is in there anyway and what has to be brough~ out to nail the role," Anderson said. "Each dancer will bring some- thing different. The dancing always stays the same, but the interpreta- tion can change a lot." •Onegin" is only part of the show the ballet will be pedorxning at The Cent~r. In additiop to the ' full-length work, ~hich will be fea- tured Feb. 4 to 6, the ballet will pre5ent several contemporary . pieces Tuesday through Thursday. The program of shorter works includes Mauro Bigonzetti's #Kaz- imir's Colours,~ Christian Spuck's "Dos Amores" and a piec,e by John Cran.ko, "Initials R.B.M.E.,. The latter piece, which Crank.o created in 1972, is a work in a con- temporary style. The title refers to the names of the dancers who first performed the work: Richard Cra- gun, Birgit Keil, Marcia Haydee. and Egon Madsen. Tellingly, Haydee went on from her role as a dancer in the piece to become the director of the Stuttgart Ballet in 1976. Her career path, moving from the incubating womb of the compa- ny to a position of artistic control and creativity, is one that many members of the company have pur- sued, Anderson said. He said some of the more promi- nent figures in European choreogra- phy, such as Jiri Kyllan, John Neumeier and William Forsythe, developed along the same route from their beginnings with the ballet. tntimately, the Stuttgart Ballet's reputation for cultivating talent..:.. a reputation that dates back to Cranko -is as good for the company as it is for the dancers, Anderson said. "In John's idea of a company, it has to be a warm kind of relationship so that they can make art together," be said. •If the process has been a positive one and if the danc~ have been able to work together, that shows up on the stage.# on SATURDAY In Saturday's Oatebook, get inside the heads of animators whose work will be shown at "Spike & Mike's Festival of Animation," through Feb. 10 at Edwards Cinema in Costa Mesa.

How about using the budget surplus for a nationdl make-over? I never have one. Do you • ever have one? A surplus, that JS. There's a lot of that going around right now. The Costa Mesa City Council has the enviable task of deciding what to do with a $1.4-million swplus. I thought about it long and hard. My suggestion was that they dole the money out to all the for- mer mayors whose last names end in a vowel and who have been out of office no more than 14 months. They didn't hke it But if you think $1.4 mtl- bon is a big nwnber, try $2 trillion. That's a 2 followed by 12 zeros, as in $2,000,000,000,000. hnpressive, isn't it? That's what Washington just announced the federal sur- plus could amount to over the next 10 years. I don't care if your name is Gates, $2 trillion is a hard nwnber to grasp. 1ty tlus.

As a stack of thousand-dollar bills, $1 mil- lion is 14 inches high. A $1- billion stack would be 116 stories high -about as tall as the World 1Iade Center. And $1 trillion would be 220 miles high.

Fashion Island embezzler sentenced to jail time Free low-tlush'toilets offered by water district • A former employee at the At Ease clothing store apparently stole $65,000 over a four-year period. Greg Risllng DAILY PILOT NEWPORT BEACH -A Coro- na del Mar woman who worked at a popular Fashion Island clothing store pleaded guilty Thursday to stealing more than $65,000 from her employer. Cynthia Maxfield, 39, :-"as sen- tenced to a minimum of four months in Orange County Jail Qn the condition thal she complete an eight-month program at a hallway house. lf she doesn't fulfill the requirements set forth by Orange County Superior Court Judge PACIFIC BELL 9 Wlr•u ' Craig Robison, Maxfield will be remanded back to jail. Maxfield worked at the At Ease clothing store for more than four years and apparently pilfered cash from the business throughout h er tenure. The thefts were cashless accounts in which she falsified customer returns and credited the amounts to any one of her six credit cards. Some of her former co-workers, who said they considered her a friend, were appeased by the judge's decision. "The judge was very fair," said company president Steve Knut- son. "We are thrilled about the judge's decision that basically says, 'fraud won't be tolerated in this county.' The message was def- initely sent to her." In addition to jail time, Maxfield can no longer possess credit cards, open any accounts or take a job . that allows her to deal with daily cash flow.· She was also sentenced to three years of probation. Most upsetting for At Ease employees was the trust they instilled in Maxfield, only to see her betray them, her former col- leagues said. Linda Brink, who also works at the store, kindled a friendship with Maxfield last year. The two women traveled to Europe, taking a whirlwind trip through London and Parts. It was Brink's first trip to Europe. Maxfield also endeared herself to Brink's 31-year-old daughter, who was suffering from a brain tumor. "Here she' is, befriending my daughter, and then she is taking monPy from some of our commis- sions, Brink !>aid. ·It dawned on me then that she was pretty ruth- less. · "I feel sorry for her. I hope she does some soul-searching and can help someone out someday. There has to be some good from the bad.• The embezzlement had a last- ing effect at the Fashion Island store. Prospective employees now undergo thorough background checks and their applications are sent to a fi.nn that analyzes them for any dishonest tendencies. All the measures were adopted after Maxfield was arrested last year. Knutson said there haven't been any cash shortages since Maxfield left, but he said the store's image has been damaged. "Our reputation has been hurt, something that probably won't go away for years, n he added.

Most NeWJ>Qrt Beach schools retained a high sco when compared to like schools, With the exception of Newport Elementary, which fell from a ranking of 9 statewide to 1 when compared to similar schools.

Pomona Elementary school, for · instance, went from a 4 to a 10, Rea Elementary leaped from 2 to 8, and Whittier Elementary school received a 10. District officials are proud, Despenas said~f how Newport- Mesa schools stacked up against similar schools. "The information and the data that we've been gathering over the last two years has allowed us to focus on areas that need improvement," she said. Despite schools' successes when compared with other under- perfonning schools, officials said they know they have a long road ahead of them.

On May 3, 1999, Abrams gunned his car toward the · playground at the South· coast Early Childhood Leam- ing Center. Along with Bran- don and Sierra, fow other children and a teacher's aide were injwed. A chain-hnk fence lined the playground, but did little to stop Abrams' oncoming Cadillac. The lawsuit claims Hawkinson bad sought to erect another fence, one stronger and more protec- tive. Indeed, Hawkinson said she did want to put up anoth- er chain-link fence on Mag- nolia Avenue for the remain-· der of the playground. But she can't understand why the lawsuit alleges she was negligent. #My children used the same playground,• she said. "Do you think I would want to put them at risk?• Evan Ginsburg, who re p- resents the Wieners, said the couple were apprehensive about naming Hawkinson in the lawsuit.

They also ask for punitive damages against Abra.ms and general legal costs. . Doily Pilot was .killed, and many of the other students were seriously • injured. A slew of lawsuits were filed a year later against the driver, Jason Rausch, the city of Newport Beach and a landscaping company. All of the suits were 1ettled out of court last year. But before a closed-door agreement had been reached between attorneys, one or the teens injured that night, Amanda Arthur, decided to drop her lawsuit against Newport Beach and the landscaping company. Arthur and her mother felt it was morally wrong to blame the two parties for the acci- dent. "The law requires plain- tiffs to file a suit even if it is against a party that bears a small responsibility,• said Jim DlCesare, one of the attorneys involved in the Irvine Avenue lawsuit. •Many people are forced to file because of the law. It's done in order to protect the client.• It is not clear whether any of the other parents who had children either · killed, injured or traumatized ln the There is a chance that , Hawkinson and the property owner, Lighthouse Coastal Community Church, could be dropped from the lawsuit at a later date.

One teen, 18· year-old Donny Bridgman, intend to take legal action. Hawkinson said her feelings haven't changed toward the Wiener family, although they may be sitting on opposite sides of the courtroom. "I blame this entire mess on Abrams,• Hawkinson said.

"In most cases, the people who a.re ready to get recovery do. Those who aren't ready don't." No one really remembers when Allen took his first dnnk -only that his stepfather died lrom a bout wilh alco- holism. Allen grew up in Newport Beach, .attending Newport Harbor High School' His need to be near the ocean is obvious, becoming a talented surfer at one pomt. He is also· handy with the brush, an amateur artist who likes to draw-glassy waves and sandy beaches. Allen has survived multiple near- death experiences. He was involved in a serious car acadent when he was a teenager and several years later, recov- ered from another traffic accident that required doctors to put a steel plate in his head. I le has been revived by para- medics after he nearly drowned off the Newport coast. He's been known to pound an entire bottle of vodka and still remain coher- ent. His blood-alcohol level has peaked well past .25 -nearly three tim~s the legal limit -and hasn't stumbled. 1.. •He's a late-stage alcoholic," said Allen's uncle, Brad Elligood. "One minute he's real sharp, and the nexl he stares into space. I guess he likes that style of life." · Maybe the person who knows Allen the best is David Sperling, who docu- mented his life in an 18-minute short . . film that debuted at the Newport Beach international Film Festival in 1998. Sperhng was inspired to film Allen's 'xploits when he noticed the frequency of his visits to Newport Beach City Jail. Sperling has worked as a civilian jailer for several years. . •He's sunk to a level most people haven't seen before," Sperling said. •There is no one else to blame for his condition but himself. But you can't help but sympathize with him because what if you were in that situation?" Allen's situation is a repetitive and often laborious one. Newport Beach' police officers have picked up Allen as many as three times in a 48-hour peri- od. This year alone, Allen was arrested on suspicion of public intoxication on Jan. 12, Jan. 14, Jan. 15, and Jan. 20. Allen is usually held until he is sober and released back into society. Police say each time Allen is ptcked up, they must leaf through a pile of paperwork they are required to file for every arrestee. · "He's a major nuisance to handle," McDermott said. •Here we are, trying to solve a problem and 12 hours later, we have to deal with him again. He's not the kind of guy any police depart- ment wants to handle." The s~te of Hawaii reportedly want- ed nothing to do with Allen. After Sper- ling's documentary, Allen was given a plane ticket to the Aloha State by his two brothers who live there. His sib- lings bad hoped Allen would change his ways: he didn't and was subse- quently booted. Allen hit the streets again and accu- mulated at least 85 arrests by Hopolulu police. They reportedly grew tired of Allen's antics and bought him a plane ticket back to California, where local police agencies have reluctantly dealt with since.

"People either comply or go back to jail. But some people are comfortable with that lifestyle of addic- tion.• Judging by the number of Allen's alcohol-related arrests, the grips of the disease may be strangling him. Fusco sai4 lifelong alcoholics like Allen are hindered by the lack of resources in Orange County. There are only a handful of licensed recovery centers and many of them don't have availability. Those closest to Allen have repeat- edly trted to help. They have offered treatment, but he haso!t ..been recep- tive. Family members have given him money, but be has spent it on alcohol. Sperling has updated his film, lengthening 1t to 39 minutes. He went to Hawaii and caught up with Allen in Honolulu. It took Sperling only 30 min- utes before he found Allen lying on a park bench. He hopes.to show the new version at the Newport film festival m March. , Allen appeared in court Wednesday. ready for one of his many dITdign- ments.

Amateurs will bid on the pros in an effort to join them as a team, then, following a brief handicapping session headed b / NBTC Director of Tennis Scott Davis, pro-am teams will enter phase two of the Calcutta-style bidding process ... all to raise funds for the Juvenile Diabetes Foundation. The three-day event, which starts tonight with the player auction and team bidding, is open to any player, male or female, with a charitable pocketbook, a decent game and a sense of humor. The handicap system, based on the strength of players, awards a certain amount of points to pro-am teams (to be determined after the initial player auction). Five points is about what officials have in mind to grant underdog teams, but the handicapping is subjective, and, il a team is deemed too strong, it could actually enter the pro-am with minus points. "You may see a team that is not as strong as other teams, but the beauty of it is that you get a great return on your money," NBTC owner Steve Joyce said. "It's like horse racing. If you bet the favorite, you get even money, but if you bet a team, say, at 30-1 odds, you'll do better.• Teams awarded points prior to the event can use them at any time during the match. Four matches will be played Saturday beginning at 9:30 a.m ., followed by a player party (the public is invited). The semilinals and finals are Sunday, followed by a Super Bowl Party that could be • the best in town -that is, if you even care about St. Louis and Tennessee. The pro-am is free and will feature Rick Leach, David Pate, Jim Pugh, Grant Connell and Davis. Leif Shiras will be the master of ceremonies. •At Uus point, we're ready for just about everything." said Davis, who is familiar with the event's format, having competed in the Huggy Bear Tournament last year with Pate, and won. Joyce said 60% of the pool will go to the winning pro-am team. with a •smaJ.1 percentage" going to the losers and the r t to charity. ·we want people ch~ring, • Joyce S&d. "This isn't going to be a tournament where people are sitting qwet in the audience • The Paramount Pro-Am Cassie is not the grand reopening of the club, Joyce said, because more remodeling is planned for the 33-year-old facility. But it ts the first big bash under new ownership. NBTC, Which lS sporting a aew logo around town, will have 11 television sett -including a big screen -in operation for the Super Bowl Party. Joyce allo said he bu purchased five satellites d11hes for the fadlity.
