Costa Mesans returned their

The City Council approved the
COSTA
MESI
54-acre Town Center
project, which had
been in the works for
months, at the same
meeting that it ended plans to
build a skateboard park at
Charle and Hamilton streets.
The city has been trying to
build a skateboard park for
years, and the council had settled
on the site in October after it dis-
carded plans to build at Lions
Park in 1999.
The Town Center project will
transform South Coast Metro into
the city's new cultural arts dis-
trict, with a new symphony hall,
an expanded South Coast Reper-
tory and an art museum or acad-
emy, as well as restaurants, office
space and improved parking.
In a frantic flurry of nomina-
tions, substitute nominations and
interruptions that left some com-
missioners and community mem-
bers feeling embarrassed, the
council also selected new plan-
ning and parks com.missions.

Officers alerted vic-

caught a suspect, John

Searching his house and several pawn shops, police say they have

but it took the district until Feb-
ruary to actually get the group
together. But, now that it's here,
members are ready to work.
Having already chosen a chair
and a panel to interview project
managers, the committee said it
plans to waste no time. Perhaps
they should have been in charge
of the construction of Newport
Coast Elementary School.
Talks also continue about
another possible new school in
Newport-Mesa. Parents trying to
open a charter school in the
Mesa Verde area of Costa Mesa
said district officials are giving
them great feedback at long last.
Although there is no longer
ti.me to open the school by Sep-
tember as they ortginally
planned, they have high hopes
for September 2002. '

Looki~s BACK
When
the wmd
blows and
the waves
tumble, the
floor £ocks too. Moments like
these remind visitors to the
Newport Harbor Naubcal
Museum that they're stand-
ing on a boat.
But the Pnde of Newport,
which houses the museum,
started as a barge. Towed
from San Pedro m 1964, the
barge went through two
make-overs -first into a
seafood restaurant and then
into its current form.
The boat's delta paddle
wheeler facade was bwJt for
its transfonnauon into the
Reuben E. Lee restaurant,
which was open from 1964
through 1995, said Somers, a
volunteer and board member
at the museum.
A local couple -Mr. and
Mrs. John Mcintosh -
owned a steakhouse at the
opposite end of the current
museum's parking lot on
East Coast Highway decades
ago. At the end of the busi-
ness day, the couple would
s1t at the tip of the peninsula
and relax. The area at the
ena of the Back Bay was a
clustering point for fish. The
Mcintosh's got inspired to
start a sea!ood restaurant,
Somers S8ld.
John Mcintosh's middle
name was Reuben. The cou-
ple decided to play off of
"Robert E. tee• which old-
.ti.me paddle-wheelers were
often named, and came up
with • Reuben"E. Lee."
In 1995, the Newport Har-
bor Nautical Museum
replaced the restaurant,
moving from its original
quarters on Balboa Boule-
vard. The boat was renamed
"Pride of Newport."
The museum, which
opened in 1986, also has a
personal history. Bettlna
Bents, a young Newport
Beach woman, had urged
her parents and community
members to somehow pre-
serve the lOCAl nautical her-
itage and history. Alter her
death in the mid-'80s, her
parents Marcia and William
Bents worked to make their
daughter's dream come true.
Today the museum houses
art exhibits, the current one
being "Wind, Water & Light:
The Legacy of Rex Brandt."
The lobby holds a collection
detailing the history of New-
port Harbor, and facilities

Olive and 'lino's canine wedding goes off with~ut a scratch . . .
Event, complete with costumes and cake, raised $300 for
Little Angels Pug Rescue and helped 12 pugs get adopted

A s the sun beat down upon
the white tents decorated
with real daisies Saturday on
Balboa Island, the crowd
chatted about how the weather could-
n't have been more perfect for the
afternoon wedding of a couple that
loves one another as much as Olive
andTinodo.
"Rain o.r shme, we had to be here
for this sped.al day.• Kathy Bonnell of
Pountain Valley said.
•Jt's just amazing and so beautiful.•
Diana Warner of Balboa said.
another lie.It.
The bmindrlld ol Stephanie Bailiff,
owner ol lbe .&rkery in Balboa where
the ceremony took place, the dog
~edding was the first event planned
to raise money for UttJe Angels. There
were also pug adoptions, ra.ffl.es, a
weddJng cake for the dogs, a wedding
collar toss and a Smoochin' Poodi
contest in honor of Valentine's Day.
The event raised $300 and by the
end of the day, all 12 of the pugs in
need of homes were adopted.
were trying to calm down their pug,
Doby. Diana Warner SAld Doby was
quite jealous of Olive and Tino's rela-
tionship.
"Doby was supposed !O ~et mar ..
ried to Olive,• she said, Slla.king be\-
head in mock disappoinbnent. ·we
sometimes babysit Olive, and she
walks by our home oo Balboa all the
time, so Doby is really disappointed
that he's not going to be up there with
her.• •
Kathy Bonnell and her son, Ryan,
brought their dog Bridget to thew~
ding because they said Bridget is
the bunt for a new boyfriend -
dogfriend.
•we beard about the weddin~
when we were here a couple weeld
ago and just bad to come,• Kathy
said, giving Bridget. who is a Bichon
Frise, a pat. •And we brought Bridget
because she's jealous that she's not
getting married, but she is definitely
in hopes of finding her pug boyfriend
here.·
And as Yoda the rlngbearer and
Pepper the flower girl, dressed in pink
satin, were wheeled down the aisle in
a wagon, the crowd burst into cheers
and applause and the first-ever pug
dog wedding benefiting Little Angels
Pug Rescue began.
"Do you Olive take Tino to be your
stud puppy and Dog Chow dog?"
Rudy Horwitz, the minister, read. "Do
you promise to love and cherish tus
smashed-in mug, wet nose and squat-
ly legs?"
"I was hosting a Christmas party
here at the store and I was talking
with my friend Sue McKibbon [the
mother of the groom), and we just
started taJ.Jdng about this dog wed-
ding,• Boiliff said, her hair decorated
in daisies to mat.ch the decor. ·u start-
ed as a joke, but then we knew it had
to be big because I love dogs. I quit
being a lawyer to open this store, and
I wanted to do something good for
the pugs.• ,.
Once thE! idea was set, donations
for the wedding and contests poured
in so that Little Angels would benefit
as much as possible. Engagement pic-
tures were done by Just Priceless in
Newport Beach and Rosie's Rags

and would be moved to the hos-
pital's intensive care unit. Could
she leave work to go be with
him?
Leaving her post at Hoag's
telemetry unit, one of the hos-
pital's busiest, seemed almost
impossible to Dohrman.
She and her colleagues were
always swamped, as they took
care of patients recovering from
open heart surgery, heart attacks
and other cardiac problems.
But while Dohrman -
beside herself-couldn't think
dearly about what to do next,
the other nurses began to take
charge. They hugged her and
began organizing Dohnnan's
departure.
"What do you need us to
do?• Doluman heard one of the
nurses asking. •Give me your
paperwork ... Let's do a reality
check here ... Who do we need
to call to come pick you up?•

Sunday
•· "I can drive,· Dohrman
sobbed in response.
"No, you can't,• came the
reply.
A half hour later -to
Dohrman, it seemed like forev-
er -a neighbor picked her up
and. took her to her husband's
side.
Since then, the couple has
rarely been separated.
Nurses on her ward, most of
whom Dohrman doesn't even
know, have volunteered to take
on Dobnnan's shifts to allow her
to take care of her husband at
their Huntington Beach home.
Tuesday was her first day back
since the accident.
MEANINGFUL HELP
Dohrman's departure caused
her supervisors to jump into
action. Seven nurses take care
of about five patients each at
any given time,. so Dohnnan's
patients were quickly assigned
to others on the ward.
But while Dohrman had
already accumulated some
·paid time off" -a combination
of vacation days, sick days and

made the wedding dress, tux and
bridesmaids' dresses. A writer friend
of Rudy and Lauren Horwitz, owners
of Rosie's Rags, wrote the vows, which
Rudy read, much to the laughter and
barks of the audience.
Just before the wedcti.ng began.
Blake Warner and his mother. Diana,

Bailitt asked, giving Olive a pat "l
can't believe I am the mother of the
bride.·
personal days -her colleagues
soon realized that she couldn't
stay away from work too long
without jeopardizing her job. -
One of the nighttime super-
visors approached Lori
Bocchicchio; the department's
assistant director, to find out if
she and the other nurses could
transfer some of their own off-
time to help pohrman through
this trying time.
After checking with hospital
a~tors. Bocchicchio got
baclC to her nurses and told them
that, yes, donating time would
be fine.
Since then, about 10 of
Dohrman's colleagues have
already given up their free bme
in bloQ<s ranging from two to 24
hours.·
Altogether, they've donated
about 72 hours -enough to
keep Dohrman in the dear so
far. She's also been able to stay
on as a full-time employee,
which entitles her to Haag's
benefits package. Since employ-
ees also accumulate "paid time
off" while they're on it, the
donations help Dohrman to
•
build her own bank of free days
again. Similar ti.me donations
have taken place at the hospital
before.
·If [Dohrman) has to contin-
ue to only work two to three
days a week, we could contin-
ue this as long as people are
willing,· said Bocchicchio,
adding that the time-donating
nurses have asked to .remain
anonymous. Eveh Dohrman
doesn't know who's been help-
ing her out
Some of the nurses have
summed up their feelings in
a single sentence, said
Bocchicchio.
"Wow! That could have been
one of us,• they have said to
her.
"They're talking about real-
izing how quickly things can
change,• Bocchicchio said.
"You might find yourself in a
position where you need help.
They talked about getting a
fruit basket to show that they
care, but (time) donation is
probably most helpful, more
lasting and meaningful.·
A~NGTIME
Sitting in her living room,
which is filled with angel prints,
pillows, candles and statues,
Dohnnan said it was difficult for
her to express her appreciation
for the help she's received.
·1 thought I'd lose my job,·
she said. ·1 had no idea when I
was going to come back . .I was
so worried about it. I knew [Phil)
wasn't going to bring in any
income.·
While her husband Ms been
recovering at home for the last
two weeks, he's still at risk for
seizures and can't be left alone.
1 .~Right now, it's like having a
clU.ld, • Dohrman said. "It's just
really hard to change from being a wife to a mother and caretak-
er .. .it's tough, very tough.•
A few minutes into the con-
versation, her husband walks
slowly into the room. Dressed in
sweat pants and a T-shirt, his
hair cropped short from the
surgery, his left arm still in a
· cast, it's difficult to recognize
Dohrman as the smiling hus-
band in the framed photographs
that stand on tables around the
room.
He's on around-the-clock
pain medication to stop the con-
stant headaches, sleeps about 15
hours a day and has difficulty
collecting bis thoughts.
Five days a week, PhH
Dohrman attends a therapy cen-
ter in Orange that specializes
in brain injuries. Right now,
Dohnnan's expected to attend
the center for at least another
three months. It's still unclear
whether he'll fully recover.

TRAVEL
CONTINUED FROM S
November, the Corona del
Mar residents vi.sited castles,
lounged Uuough four-course,
two-hour meals at least twice
a day and napJ?OO. They
returned home well-rested.
The tow -Freeman is an
airline pilot, Swegan is a
flight attendant, Leba
Kramer is a clinical psycholo-
gist and her husband Gary is
a certified public accountant
-have visited France
before.
This time however, they
slowed down -napping and
~~uring. without consulting
1tineranes, catching a castle
here, a castle there, between
eating gourmet meals in
chateau dining rooms and
cafes with roaring fueplaces.
•I would recommend Uus
trip for people like us ...:...
who've done the beaten
path,• said Lebel Kramer.
It was on this path that the
two couples met three years
ago. On a Pnncess Cnuse
around the BribSh Isles, the
Kramers approached Free-
man and Swegan, who are
engaged, because they
looked like a "nice couple."
They learned, while
aboard the same sh1p thou-
sands of rrules away from
home, that they lived about
five minutes from each other
in Corona del Mar. Smee
then, the two couples have
become dose friends -
spending holidays and hav-
ing dinner together at least
one a month.
"It was not a summer
romance,• Swegan said.
Freeman played designat-
ed driver dunng the Loue
Valley excursion. The car
rental agency was not able to
offer the full-size car they
had promised, so the tounsts
made do with a Mercedes
station wagon instead.
They stayed for two rughts
at the Chateau DePray, a
four-star castle bwlt in the
early 1200s. Their last two
rughts were spent at the
Chateau de Rochecott, the
former home of Lord Tal-
leyrand. Thick scarlet cur-
tains and hnely-detailed rugs
gave the couples a sense of
the royal.
Their daily schedule
involved breakfast in the
morrung, a castle VlSit, a
"big, fabulous lunch: a nap,
another castle and then din-
ner, which they dressed up
for.
The ladies looked lovely
every night, Freeman said.
"They looked gorgeous 24
hours a day,• Gary Kramer
qUJck.ly added.
Most of the castles they
visited were grand.lose.
Chambord arad Chenonceau
chateaus gave the travelers a
sense of blne, helpmg them
understand that the floors
they stood upon had endured
centuries of wars and
change. .
"Being from a place that's
so new, lodging in a place
that was built before Euro-
peans came here to America
-that just really to me is so
so astounding,· Leba Kramer
said.
The smaller chateaus
were intimate. The Amboise
and the Langeais castles -
where rooms were small but
dotted wtth careful decora-
tive touches -left an
impression on the Kramers,
Swegan and Freeman. They
also visited the last home of
Leonardo de Vind -Ooe
Luce -where copies of his
drawings and models of
inventions such as the pre ..
curson to the automobile and
the machine gun were dis-
played.
The lost chateou they vis-
lled, the Usse Castle, is also
called the •Sleeping Beauty•

ORCHIDS
CONTINUED FROM 5
Richford, who is presi-
dent of the Newport Harbor
O rchid Society, has more
than 500 orchids growing at
home. not induding the 200
baby epidendrums she just
bought. Epidendrurns are a
type of orchid follfld in
tropical America.
She grows them from
seeds, buys new ones and,
of course, brings home the
plants that otheTS want to
throw away. When asked
why she can't just have
one, or even just 100, Rich-
ford explains it's a collec-
tor's thing.
"ThE!'re are so many dlf-
ferent species and flowers
and names and kinds," she
sdid. ·we might have 25 or
30 white ones, but then
there are the white ones
with pink lips, white with
lavender lips, then the yel·
lows with red lips or purple
with red lips. Each flower
comes out differently.·
Richford is not alone m
her passion. Walk into
South Coast Plaza's Crate &
Barrel/Macy's Home Store
wing today and meet her
brethren. More than 65
vendors and far more than
1 100 orchid displays line the
mall's floors for three stories
around a 25-foot orchid
centerpiece.
The retail stores have
taken a backseat for the last
three days, letting the sight
and smell of literally thou-
sands of orchids at the Fas-
cination of Orchids over-
take theu customers and
.spa~e.
Sponsored by the
Orange County Branch
Cymbidium Society of
America, the four-day 21st
annual show and sale has
drawn vendors and visitors
from around the world.

A forest of orchids adorn the third Door of South Coast Plaza's Crate & Barrel/Macy's
Home Store wing.
Tony Glinskas, chairman
of the show, said orgaruzers
expect more than 100,000
people to have V1Sited by
the end of today. Last year's
event attracted 92,000, but
the show keeps getting big-
ger and bigger.
•It has grown to a point
where it's the large~ orchid
show in the United States,·
he said. "People come from
California, across the U.S ..
from Central and South
America. We have a compa-
ny corning from Hawaii, a
company conung from Tai-
wan, and we have orchids
coming from Thailand and
the Ptu.llppmes. •
To these growers, orchids
aren't just pretty plants.
They are e xotic creatures

When he reallzed orch.tds

Today he has between 700

Glinskas said that South-
ern CaWornia -espec1dlly
the area between Santd
Barbara and San Diego -
offers the perfect ch.mate for
growing the nowers. They
thrive along a wade range
of temperatures, from dS
low as 28 degrees to as

Florent Mmneau of Pinot Provence CON'TINUED FROM 5
picture was my face and
shoulders. Apparently, that
didn't matter because l still
remember the "driver's
license dress• ln vivid delall. Y~O..,.
DAILY PILOT
FlorentMarneau,31, does
not feel far from his home
country, France, when
he's worldng at Pinot
Provence. The head chef.
who speaks with a charming
accent, has been creating fabulous
food for the Costa Mesa restaurant
for 2 1/2 years. He recreates
France in the kitchen with his use
of fresh imported fish, unique
herbs and a lemon oil he is partic-
ularly fond of.
Marneau took tune off from his
duties to talk wtth us about We in
the lotchen.
DP: What ls your best dish, the
one you make better than anyone
elsel
M: (Laughing) A big ego ttung,
huh? You know, I don't look at it this
wdy. I look at it as we try to use dif-
ferent items and different products
that nobody does, that [only) some
people do, but unusual products -
the freshest, very seasonal products.
We import a lot of fresh fish from
France. We use a lot of high-end
products -like truffles, wild mush-
rooms, vegetables. And a lot of
things we use are just a little bit dif-
ferent than what you would see typ-
ically around here. We try to keep it
simple and nice and not too over-
powered wtth spices.
DP: When and where did you
start train.lngf ,,,
M: When I was 13, I went to cook-
ing schQOl m France for three years,
and I started working at 16. I went to
a cooking school called Le Gue A
lresmes, north of Paris.
DP: What ls a good day for youl
M: It's when J see things that I can
get from France that I used to grow
up with, that my parents used to do.
I can translate it to what we do here
and make people enjoy it too. We
have beautiful fish corning from
France -the dorade. It's a French
fish .... So whatever's in season and
looks really nice, and you can tell it's
really unusual, and it's very fresh.
DP: Why do Munu.sual" products
appeal to youl
M: Because our culture m France,
we really like to try new things and
get very exoted about eating. Eating
in France IS part of the culture, so it's
very natural for us to get exoted
about eating and making something
that tastes really good.
DP: Whal Ls your favorite dish to
cook and ean
M: It's something we do here at
the restaurant, and I like ordering:
foie de gras with a nice glass of
champagne.
DP: What do you find ls your
favorite lngredlenn
M: I would say so many things. A
great thing we use right now is
lemo~oil. It's great. It goes with a lot
of things. And herbs -herbs and
lemon oil.
...... ::&-' .....
DP: Do you have a favorite piece
of cooking equlpment1
M: U I could, I would love to work
with copper pots and paTIS, which
are outdated because they're so '80s.
But ·I really Wee working with cop-
per. I like the style. I like looking at
the back of restaurant in France
when you're cooking. It 1ust has so
much style, it looks good. it renunds
me of when I was really young. You
always go back to your roots at
some point and look at when you
grew up.
DP: Do you come up with your
own redpesl
M: We don't call them recipes,
but we come up with our own ideas.
We try it out, we work with it. we
see if it works this way. We don't
really have recipes. It's a way of
cooking. We do it very naturaµy.
When it comes down to new dishes
-an entree, an appetizer -we just
make it. We put our ingredients out
of the fridge, look around, come up
with ideas. I try it. We all try it. The
dishwasher tries it. We gwe 1t to
everybody to see their reaction.
When I do something like this, J just
grab whoever's around me and grab
some forks and knives.
DP: How do you get inspired?
M: There's many ways I do 1t. I
like to sit with a glass of wine with
my wife at home. We make dlnner,
we look at magazines, we look at
books. We often go try out a com-
petitor'to see what others are doing.
I love to go·to New York and San
Francisco and Parts. We go to a very
nice restaurant [in Parts) -we save
up for that. It's very important for us
to see what' people are doing, just
like any business would do.
HOW MANY
VALENTINES COME WITH
A WARRANTY?
flOM MAlllEAU'S COGllOOI Our teen ls not so worried
about the clothes, but the hair
is important So jmportant, In
fact, .that several electrical
appliAnces are required to
finish the look. Thank good-
ness there was no power out-
age durlng the critical prepa-
ration stage.
DP: Is lt bard to stay thin or
watch your weight because you
work with foodf
M: It's not hard to stay thin.
What's the hardest is to eat properly
because you never eat at the same
hours. I don't know if you gain
weight from that. We don't have very
healthy personal habits. Sometimes
you're so busy that sometimes it hap-
pens I just forget to eat.
DP: Do you eat tJte food you
cookf Do you like your cooklngl
M: I love my food, I love eating 1t,
but I think there's nothing better
than somebody cooking for you. My
wife cooks for me. I love her food
because I didn't make it. She has a
style, I have a style.
DP: What made you want to be a
chefl
M: I think my mom and my par-
ents. They had their own garden.
grew a lot of vegetables. They had to
because they didn't have the
resources to afford a lot ofgood, fresh
ingredients. And my mom is a great
cook. She's the best cook. She would
always try new things, open books.
She makes her own preserves and
her own preserved meats. She always
brings a lot of things. It's great. we get
a little bit of France here.
DP: What's more important to
youl Taste or presentationl
M: Both are very important. Late-
ly, I think taste is No. 1, definitely.
Easy steps and very good flavor, I
think, sometimes comes first before
the presentation. Personally, I like
when it tastes better than it looks.
DP: What's the hardest part about
your )obf
M: The hardest part is you have to
make sure you're very consistent and
make sure that the product is up to
standard overall. Every day is a
brand new day -that's the hardest
part about this profession, coming in
every day, making sure you can per-
form like the other days.
DP: What do you least enjoy
making?
M : I don't like to make pastry. I
love to eat pastry, but J don't like to
make pastry. My wtfe IS a pastry
chef; so I let her do it.
DP: What chels do you.admire
mosn
M: My mom. She has this old-
fashioned way of cooking. And Jean.
Georges at Jean-Georges Restaurant
in New York -very famous all over
the world, very classic French cook-
ing. He moved to Asia when he was
20 or 24 years old. He's much older
now but has a lot of Asian influence
in his French cooking.
DP: U you bad a show on the
Food Network, what would you call
lt1 What type of food would you
preparet
M: ·cooking with Simplicity.· 1
would have a show like Jacques
Pepin has with Julia Child. It's a
great show. Jacques Pepin is a very
good teacher.
DP: Is there a dish you wt.sh to
perfectl
M: I always go back to this fresh
fish. 1 think it's so nice to get those
kinds of fish from France, and then
you get close to perfection with this
kind of fish. It's very different from
what people put around here. I p1ob-
ably put more work into these
because I know how they need to be
cooked and undercooked and all
these things.
The test did not seem to
be too high on her worry
chart. Maybe it pays to be
one of the younger kids tn
the class and have the advan-
tage of those who went
before you. She left the
Departnient of Motor Vehi-
cles with permit in hand. She
is now free to rule the road -
well, at least with a pa.rent at
her side.
It seems as though once
the pennit is obtained that
any trip in the car becomes a
big deal. I was hoping to start
off slowly, driving around the
neighborhood, empty parlang
lots and unpopulated areas.
'Ibis phase does not seem to
be very popular.
Once you have a new dn-
ver in the family, question-
able traffic engineering
seems to confront you at
every turn. The nonexistent
merge lane from the peninsu-
la to Coast Highway -ytkes
The narrow streets on Udo -
scary. Any neighborhood
when school gets out is
unnerving.
The most frightening place
of all, however, is the school
parking lot. Cars, kids and
hormones just seem to be a
recipe for fender bend.mg
And that's another thing
This is .a pricey area for our
kids to be practicing. The
likelihood of hitting a really
expensive car has exponen-
tially increased. A Suburban
backing into a Jaguar can
cost thousands of dollars.
Ouchi
At Riverside Polytechnic
High School, this was not too
much of a problem. Most of
the cars in the high school
parking lot were pretty
pathetic. My Pinto looked
good in comparison.
So along with all of the
other important events of the
week, we have taken an
unportant step toward mobili-
ty and responsibility. The par-
ents understand that there
are now elements out of our
control. We need to trust the
child to make adult deos10T1S
We pray that 15 years of good
judgment will continue.
And even though this leap
toward independence is bit-
tersweet from a pa.rental per·
spective, I can take solace m
the fact that her hair in the
picture looks great.

Disney Stuff."
What you fondly recall as
Disneyland has grown.
expanded, liWelled up. what-
ever, to what Is technically
referred to by professional
plannerS as a •really big
thing.•
The Magic Kingdom is still
magical but it now compnses
three countries. You've got the
original Disn.eyland with
Dumbo, pirates, the haunted
mansion, etc. As of last month,
you've got Downtown Disney.
And. as of last week, you've
got California Atlventure.
My wife and I were fortu-
nate enough to get a preview
of both Downtown DlSDey
and Cahforrua Adventure
before they opened and, I
must say, they are very
impressive. What Alan
Greenspan would call ·way
cool"
I say that with some sur-
prise because I am wary of
anything that has been over-
hyped and oversold. I wince
when someone tells me that a
movie l want to see tS the
"best movie they've ever
seen" and that I'm •really,
really going to love it.• lnvan-,
ably. that means 1t i.Sn't, and
I'm not.
But this ti.me, I say it's a
home run for Mickey Mouse.
And thus begins our guided
tour.
Disneyland you already
know. so what and where are
the other two? Downtown
Disney and California Adven-
ture sprang up from that awe-
some asphalt ocean that once
was the main parking lot for
Disneyland, and you know
exactly where that IS.
But, ll you haven't been to
the ·Happiest Place on
Earth• lately, you will be
mighty surprised.
The city of Anaheim and
Disney have spent a bundle
on streets, freeway ramps,
parking garages. etc. You'll
see plenty of sigrts to Disney-
land, Downtown Disney and
California Adventure, to say
nothing of parking areas, free-
way ramps, etc.
It's a great system, but
heed those signs well. U you
make a wrong tum -which
accounts for about every third
tum I make -you will end
up somewhere between Ena-
no and Thousand Oaks before
you can tum around.
Downtown 'Disney IS a
retail/restauranVentert.am-
" mEf t thing with a House of
Blues, Brennan's Jazz Kitchen,
La Brea Bakery and AMC
Cinema, to name just a few.
There are no rides and it's
not a little kid place, but
admission is free and there's
lots of stuff for everyone from
teens to way beyond teens.
Think of Universal CityWalk
or the Spectrum Entertain-
ment Center. Downtown Dis-
ney is CityWalk on steroids.
Parking is free for the first
five bows, but make sure you
get your ticket validated or
you'll have to put a lien on
your house to get your car
back.
California Adventure, the
newest ot the new, is an
amusement park. Sorry. We
don't call them amusement
parks anymore. We call them
"theme parks.• How foolish of
me.
It's an interesting mix of
high-tech, new-tech and old-
tech. Like Disneyland, it is
divided into sections: Sun-
shine Plaza, Hollywood Pic-
tures Backlot, Golden State
and Paradise Pier.
I know what you're think.-

used to like it when tourists
and locals spent the day at
Disneyland, then went back
to wherever they came from.
The Mouse is bored with

people to think of Disney-

people stay in one of his new

a few visits to Downtown

like that Florida ttung, Dtsney

spend a few nights, spend a
lot of money. The Mouse likes
that.

We wish drunk drivers were
required to be on a list just like
sex offenders. Do you realize how
much mayhem a drunk driver is
responsible for in a community?
According to statistics from Moth-
ers Against Drunk Drivers. a
drunk driver kills one person
every 32 seconds -17, t 26 in
1996. About 1,058,990 are injured
in alcohol·related crashes. About
two of every five Americans will
be involved in an alcohol-related
crash I
In the past decade, four times
the amount of Americans died in
drunk-driving crashes as were
killed in the Vietnam War. Drunk
driving is the nation's most fre-
quently committed violent crime.
Gdess what state leads the
nation in traffic fatallbes -good

during the week. 30% ar~ a.lco-
hol·related, 54% on the week-
ends. Male drivers involved in
fatal crashes were nearly twice as
likely to have been intoxicated
than were females. Meo are four
times more likely than women to
drive after drinking.
Now, maybe you can under-
stand why we commend the Dal·
ly Pilot for publishing the names
of DUls in our community. We
think drunk drivers should be
required to bear bumper stickers

' I would hope to

assets of the
community as
well. A lot of Limes,
the focus is on the
needs and not on
the assets. Having
come from an
underdeveloped
community, I
know that there

EDUCATION'S
TRUE PURPOSE
'The long
journey of
education has
been a means
and not an end.
To me, education
has been to apply
to the community.
I've learned, not
for self-purpose,
but for service
to the community
and to the
church.'
A chat with Jesse
Miranda, the direc(or
and principal creator of
Vanguard University's
Center for Urban Studies
and Ethnic Leadership
I n the tall, Vanguard
University welcomed
Jesse Miranda to its campus.
Miranda is in charge of
the Center for Urban Studies
and Ethnic Leadership, a new
program at the school that seeks
to build relationships between
the school, churches and the
community. He also is a national
leader in the Christian Latino
community.
Miranda sat down with Pilot
City Editor S.J. Cahn tr '.all<
about the new center and how
he .hopes it will improve the
Newport-Mesa community. The
f <;>llowing is the ~t of a two-
part conversation.
What are the principal goals of
the Center for Urban Studies and
Ethnic ,LeadersbJJ.> and bow do you
hope to acbJeveJUleml ·
The Center for Urban Studies and
EUuc Leadership is to engage and
connect the campus, the church and
the community -kind of a tnad
actually -to place scholarship and
faith and setvice for the church and
the commuruty and commuruty
development together. To develop
the church, develop the community
and actually assist the churches in
ministering to its surrounding com-
munities and empower communities
through its own people with training
and development.
In other words, develop the com-
munity from the inside out; we are
not the experts. We come in as part-
ners. We feel that it's not a service
that we're JUSt offering but an
engagement We want it to be rela-
llonal -especially being at Van-
guard Uruversity, where it's in the
commuruty of Costa Mesa.
Our goals would be to empower
the community here and reach out to
the churches in Newport and partner
with them -with their assets. with
their gifts. with thei.r skills that they
have . It's a tremendous asset to a
comrnuruty here. And I would hope
to discover the assets of the commu-
nity as well. A lot of times. the focus
is on the needs and not on the
assets. Having come from an under-
developed community, l know that
there are people with gifts and skills
if we're able to round them up, iden-
tify them and mobilize thepi.
To achieve that, I would guess
that we do 1t by training in commu-
nity engagement through means of a
seamless method of education -
starting from a haU-(iay seminar. to a
one-day seminar, to an ongoing cer·
tificate program. d B.A degree. a
master's i.n Chnstian leadership. So tt
goes all the way up to a master's
degree. dependrng on where the
peOP.l~ are They cdn be people from
outside Costa Mesa. as well as peo·
ple from within the community.
Also, by having events such as d
monthly lectureship on God in the
city, for mstance, dnd an annual
report -kind of a state of the city or
state of the community forum -to
inform the community what we have
found out during the year. Our stu-
dents have gone out, our community -
partners have shared with us, so
those would be some of the things
that we'd look at.
We also want to have a roster of
~xperienced community workers to
come in and train -so faculty from
here and faculty from the com.muruty
will round out. We'll do research,
demographics. Applied research of
questions and issues that come up
are the focus of our research. We
hope to, with brne and years. have
resources here -books to read.
studies that have been made. peo-·
ple's stories and successful models -
that this would be a center of mfor·
mation.
Our pnrnary goal would be hrst
the Hispanic community because of
the large percentage ln Santa Ana
and Costa Mesa of Hispanics, but we
eventual)y want to go maybe with
other ethnic groups that are in the
area that we see necessary to
engage, and we would be open to
that. As a result, there's a national
study that is being conducted now
by an orgaruzabon that I'm president
of that's national. AMEN -The
National Alliance of Hispanic Min-
istries. And we're conducting a
national, three-year research on the
Hispanic churches m the public We
of America. The findings of that ...

going to he housed here m our cen·
ter. So 1t\ a lustoncal type of thmg
that wtll be avd1lable to us here. So
that's how wp will achieve our goals.
Wha'T In your background
prepared you for this work?
It's redlly my childhood that
taught me the value of the church i.n
a community Growing up i.n a
poverty area. I saw the begummgs of
gangs and some drugs. In those
days, they weren't the heavy drugs
that you have here now, but that was
the begmrung. And my fnends, a lot
them died of overdoses and others
dre i.n pnson even to tlus day. l don't
thmk I'm any more pnvueged, only
that my fdinily dCcepted the invita-
bon of a church i.n the area. And so
that became the focal poi.nt of our
hfe. And I think that's why, dehrute·
ly. I tvmed out.d1ff,erent than the rest
of my fnends in my commuruty
Also. the long Journey of educabon
has been a means and not an end. To
me. education has been to apply to
the community I've learned, not for
sell-purpose. but for servtce to the
corrunuruty and to the church. My
career has been pnmarily -all these
years, 44 years -with disenfran-
chised commurubes. Poor. and yet
I've seen them very functional wtth a

has been able to develop -that they

April of 1992, I was m Stanford Uru-

Just d redl d.Jsconnect It really
pncked my conscience as wbat aire

them all together I think they've
been too separated and have
brought some of the social problems
that we expenence.
Costa Mesa's a long way from an
L.A., maybe even a long way from
Santa Ana. But now's the ti.me to
reauy address some of the issues,
because you have a first generation
of unrrugrants and you don't have
ongoing generations of poverty and
cycles of habits I trunk nght now's
the brne to really engage 1t and deal
wtth 1t and to keep a beautilul com·

When 1t comes to racial preJUdlce

wonder how much people have said,
how they said 1t and what context.
So I don't Uunk tt's the 1Ssue, but
sometunes the emotion of the per-

So I think a commuruty bas to be
aware of those thihgs, especially if
it's begmrung to happen and doesn't
have a long history of it. But l come
from Los Angeles, and there's a long
history there. We've ledmed some-.

The week prior to the

"I've learned a lot from
coaching,· Purnell said.
"Coaching Is a slice of life; it's

CONTINUED FROM 12
DlVlsi4'flll champfonstup in
1991, a season after the Eagles
won CIF Southern Section
DlVlSlOn 3-AA, O'Brien had
already coached at high
schools in Pennsylvania,
Anzond and Califonua (Tustin).
He followed five seasons at
Estanoa (compiling a 110-42
record) with seven somewhat
frustrating years at OCC.
Things didn't go so well on the
court (93-119) and his hopes of
erasing tus walk-on status
never matenahzed. So, with a
new high school opening up
a mtle from hJ.s home, he
pursued the job, was ht.red, and
set about building a program
from the hdrdwood up
"It Well. llke buymg a new
home," O'Bnen scud. •You
walk m dnd all you see are
wtute walls and bare floors .
Everything else, was up to
me"
After d guiding the
Tunberwolves through a 1uruor
varsity schedule last year,
O'Bnen, Sdns seniors, returned
to thP varsity ranks this season.
And, to the surpnse of no one
familidf Wlth his ample
coadung skills, the
Tunberwolves are guaranteed
a spot m Lhe section playoffs.
O'Bnen is thankful for his
community college expenence.
but h!! doesn't nuss the aspects
of the Job that took away from
tus llme tl'dching the game.
"You have to coach a lot
more at the high-school level,·
O'Bnen who teaches heaJth
and weight traming classes,
said ·And, r think there's more
enthusiasm and loyalty from
the pldy<'rs. I llke to use the old
phrase "the kids play for the
swedter · •
O'Bnen said he recdlls
fondly his tune at Estancia,
parbcularly his state
championship team. the only
state champion m Newport-
Mesd D1stnct basketball history
(boys or guls). But. wtule still
hungry lo recapture thdt kind
of ultundle success. it's the
means. not the end. that pull
him out of bed every morning.
"The best part about
coaching ts the chase,• he said.
"Even when I think back on
those good teams at Estancia,
my memones are about the
chase. Winning state was fun.
don't get me wrong, and I'd
love to gel back there again
But I thmk about the
preparauon. the long road trips
in the playoffs. the nervo·usness
before a game, staying up all
rught worrying about my game
plan Those are all part of the
chase"
Wtule many expect
Northwood to become a
powerhouse program, O'Brien
confesses no grand vision for
the future
"I've never been one to talk
about WU1rung the league or
this and that.· O'Bnen said. ·1
just want us to conb.nue to
work hdrd, do things nght and

tie with 3:05 remaining in the
third quarter as Belden

Belden eX1ended the lead,

from sophomore Paige Lans-

two goals on player-up

season came to an t
end as crosstown rivaJs Estanoa High and
Costa Mesa battled ror a Paofk Coast League
championship in boys frosh-soph soccer Friday.
The Eagles captured tbe championship ·
arter freshman Armando Gavtlan found the
net with less than seven minutes remaining.
lf the Mustangs had won they would have
shared the tiUe wt.th Estancia. The Eagles
earned a 2-1 win over Mesa earlier.
Freshman Noe Ma.rttnex got Estancia on
the scoreboard first in the opening minutes.
Estancia Co-coach Robert Castellano said
Martmez is tbe team's leading scorer and he
pt0V1des most of the offense, leading the
Eagles to an 8-0 PCL record, 14-0-2 overall.
Mesa (13-4-1, 6-2-0 in league) tied the
game when Hector Martinez scored on a
penalty kick. Martinez. who led the Mus1angs
with 12 goals t.tus season, is the younger
brother or senior TrtnJdad Hernandez, the
leading scorer on the varsity. Sophomore Alex
Contreras finished with nine goals for the
rrosh-soph Mustangs.
Castellano, who co-coaches with Esaul
Mendoza, saJd the Eagles were without their
starting goalie, Scott Harrb, ror the title game
Fnday. Harris was out because or illness and
... -
Uber Gallegos stepped m to record six saves.
Martinez, Gavilan and freshman Ismael
Sandoval should make varsity next season.
Mendoza's younger brother, Luis, is a 5-foot-1
midfielder who has been the leader of this
year's PCL champions. Castellano said Luis "is
the heart of the midfield,· who helped the
Eagles improve throughout the season.
"ll looked kind of down early in the
season,· Castellano Silld. ·we worked really
hard. I told them they had a lot of potenbaJ.
And then,.they refused to lose.•
Mesa goalie John Ruiz, a sophomore, and
the Mustangs' defense allowed just 18 goals
this season and the offense scored 51 goals.
First-year Coach Matt Dunn, who played
varsity last year at Mesa, was excited to see 29
players jom the team this season. He said
freshman David Barnett will be a player to
watch in the yea.rs to come. He might have
been on the varsity team, but the roster was
filled. Barnett will actually be bumped to
varsity for the CIF Southern Section DiVISion
IV playoffs.
Dunn also said, sophomores Nathan
Hunter, Tyler Waldron. and Christian Lopez
and freshman Carlos GuUerrez wer~ vital to
the Mustangs' second-place finish.

Lions, den
Tie smell of leather, grass, hot dogs and pine tar
have whiffed through th.e air like a blessing from
bove. It's baseball season!
U during the season, you happen to attend a
Vanguard University baseball game and suddenly see
the admission price increase, there's a very good reason
the Llons are doing it.
They're raising cash for more baseballs!
In their first six games, the Lions (4-2) are putting
monster numbers up on the scoreboard. Their team
batting average is .347, induding two starters hitting
over .500 (Samuel Baeder, .565 and Anthony Walker,
.526) and another hitting over .400 (Jeremy lsherwood,
.429).
With 46 games on Vanguard's schedule, here's some
pretty startling projections.
The Lions are on track to hlt 64 home runs (they hit
21 last year), score 480 runs (they
scored 182 last year) and hit .343 as
a team (they bit .247'last year.)
The Lions biggest weapon thus
far has been Baeder. The junior
outfielder leads the team with three
home runs. already surpassing last
years total of two. His 11 RBls in six
games is only sue off last year's mark
of 17 .
Walker. a senior, has 10 hits~ 19
at bats with two doubles, e ight runs
scored and five RBis. wtule
Isherwood, also a senior, has rune
hits, four runs scored and eight RBis.
Oh yeah, Nos. 4-6 in the statistics
aren't doing so bad either.
Tony Ahobelli
COLLEGES
Sophomore leadoff hltter Matt Tuthammer leads the
Lions with 10 runs Scored, wtule hitting a modest .381
with two home runs.
Junior infielder Andy Riddell has been strong at first
base for the Lions while hitting .364 with one clinger
and five RBis. His .364 average is the same as
teammate C had Chop, who leads the Lions with four
doubles and IS second on the team with rune runs
scored.
Granted, the Lions' pitching isn't exactly, Maddox,
Glavine and Smoltz, but it's rapidly improving. ·
Leading the Lions' hurlers is lefty reliever Garold
Shatter. In eight-plus innings, the junior has compiled
a 2-0 record Wlth a 5.84 ERA.
Perhaps the most perplexing puzzle over ln Uon
Country is the Vanguard women's basketball team.
With strong play from senior point guard Becki
Huddle (11.5 points, 4.4 rebounds and 5.8 assists per
game), sru~rs Beth Weidler and Laura Lee (each in
the Golden State Athletic Conference's top-10 in
three-point shooting) and center Kelly Boeke (GSAC
top-10 with 8.3 rebounds per game and 53% shooting),
it's bard to understand why the Llons are 7-7 in
. conference and 14-9 overall.
The Lions have the No. 3 rated offense (72.:A>PO}
and No. 2 defense (57 .2 PPG), so what's the deal? ·
The most amazing thing about the Lions' rune
losses, six have come at The Pit. Vanguard had won
46 in row the past c6uple of seasons. Perhaps a tougher
preseason schedule is needed? Perhaps the conference
is just getting stronger and more even? Probably a little
bit of both.
They'll try again on Tuesday with a road game at
5:30 against Westmont, then host Biola Saturday for
another 5:30 start.
Each precedes the men's game.
