the curtain rose.
•I'm a little worried Brartdon

Daniel DeArakal, 12, about bis
. accompanying saxophonist
Brandon Baswell, 13.
The band, which called itself
the Robotic Chickens, was one
of 23 acts in Sunday's Talent
2000. The event, held at the
Costa Mesa Neighborhood
Community Center, featured
talent from the Newport-Mesa
School District.
.. Madres Costa Mesa; a family
support group, and the Costa
Mesa Census 2000 Committee
produced the show. ·
Tables outside of the auditori-
um were filled with magnets
and pencils printed with the
census logo brochures urging
residents to fill out the forms.
Students from TeWink.le MidcOe
School also performed a short
skit explaining the importance
of the census. And proceeds
from taco and soda-sales there
will go toward music prOQTams
at TeWink.le Middle School.
The event attracted more
than 250 proud mothers and
'fathers, friends and entertain-
ment-seekers, including a clus-
ter of Robotic Chicken fans.
When the curtain finally rose,
the band played an instrumental
version of the Green Day song,
"When I Come Around.• The

DAILY PILOT
Not many people know
where Patty Henry went, but
they have never forgotten her.
Shielded from the public by
a tightly woven blue curtain,
she was shrouded in sadness
over the death of her husband,
Newport Beach Police Officer
Bob Henry. .
Five years ago, Patty
watched her husband linger in
a coma. He succumbed to
complications from a gunshot
wound he received when a
suicidal father shot Henry and
then killed himself. Henry
clung to life for 33 days.
The shooting stunned the
city where murder is a foreign
word and losing a police officer
is a travesty. The community
rallied around the Henry fami-
ly although Patty, a mourning
widow, was secluded in priva-
cy with her three children.
Patty has emerged from the
sadness a new woman. She
bas since remarried, had
another child and happily lives
in South County. She has
climbed to a peak that looked
impossible to reach after
trekking through a valley,
which seemed endless. ·rm in a great place,• said
Potty in her first interview
since her former husband's
death. •rm in love, have a
wonderful family and
extremely happy. l'm so grate-
ful to the people who still think
about us. It's five years later
and l still feel their support.•
A BRIGHT FUTURE ENDS
As husband and wife, Patty
and Bob planned for a bright
future. They had three dill·
dren together, Bobby now 11:
Jenna, 11 and Alyssa now 5,
who was four weeks old when
her father was shot.

A fisherman arrives at Newport Beach Pier armed with several rod and reels hoping to catch some fish.

•The Newport Beach
Municipal Pier means many
things to locals and tourists.
AndrewGluw
DAILY PILOT
NEWPORT BEACH -The New-
port Beach Municipal Pier was packed
with strollers, sea-gazers and kissing
couples Sunday.
But while the warm sun and cool
sea breeze drew dozens of day visitors,
most of the people on the pier were
regulars.
Such as Bert Duering, 63, who has
played his guitar at the entrance to the
pier almost every day for the past six
years.
·From where I sit, I've seen a lot, •
be said. •A lot of nice legs.•
He wore a straw hat, which shaded
his clear blue eyes, a yellow-white Polo
sweater and had a matching beard. He
stnunmed his guitar, singing a tune he
wrote at 4 a.m. on a piano at the Uni-
versity of Miami, after finishing a bottle
of Captain Morgan's Rum.
Th~ lyrics ·tell th~ story of how King
Neptune lost his vast underwater
empire after being seduced by a mer-
maid.
"She had me wrapped around her
dorsal fin,• he sung. Camera-toting
tourists meandered by Duering, drop-
ping occasional coins in his open guitar
case.
Further along the pier, groups of
men and women stood, poles in band,
staring out at sea hoping to land a two-
foot mackerel. Most were immigrants
from Vietnam and Mexico.
"My seven cousins dragged me out
llere today," said Daniel Phan, a wiry
17-year-old who drove in from River-
side County. "But it's a good scene.
Lots of people.•
A woman next to him, wearing a
wide-brimmed Vietnamese hat, pulled
up a three inch carp.
"Hey, look, at least somebody
caught something,• Phan said.
Matthew Khol, 9, and Sean Ear, 8,
sat next to each other a few yards away
from the pier's end. From behind, the
two looked perfectJ.y symmetrical -:
like two paper dolls.
Parallel fishing poles pointing to the
horizon. Matching navy blue sweat-
shirts. Small. black-haired heads look-
ing down at their ,green and purple
Gameboys, on which they played
· Pok6mon.
•Just scored 40," said Sean. break-
ing nearly three IJlinutes of intensely
focused silence.
On the other side of the pier, Sergio
Morales, 22 and his nephew J09US
Rovesale, 29 stared toward the beach.
"I tell my friends this is the best
place," said Morales, a Costa Mesa
resident, in bis native Spanish.
"There's ·something about the ambi-
ence.•
Rovesale dropped a quarter into the
coin telescope, aimed it toward the
beach and agreed.
"The view here is incredible,•
pulling his uncle to catch a glimpse at
what turned out to be a bikini-clad
sunbather. "I really love it here.•

T he Newwrt Harbor Yacht
Club will host the #United
States Yacht Club Challenge
2000, • starting Wednesday. Since
its inception 16 years ago, the event
has grown to become one· of the
most popular yacht club national
competitions.
Ten top ranked yacht dubs will
participate in the four-day regatta.
To be invited to compete in the
every-other-year event, clubs must
qualify based on their recent
achievementli in racing, race man-
agement, youth development and
service to the sport in general.
Competing dubs this year
include Long Beach Yacht Club
and Newport Harbor Yacht Club.
. The regatta was originally sailed
in New York-36 sloops supplied by
the host club. In 1990. the competi-
tion expanded to include junior
sailors in two dingy classes (CFJ's
and Lasers). Now 40%. of the par-
ticipating yacht club's tota) racing
score is based on the performance
of its younger sailors and 60%
based on their big boat (Catalina
27's) performance.
Newport Harbor High School
has a strong national youth pro-
gram, operated out of the Newport
Harbor Yacht Club. Newport Har·
bor High School has garnered sev-
eral national youth sailing champi-
onships in the past five years. They
are very tough competitors.
Clubs compete for the coveted
MBaldwin M. Baldwin* trophy, -
which was originally given to the
winner of the 1915 Panama-Pacific
International Exposition horse
show. Its namesake's wife, the late
· Maruja Baldwin, redeeded the tro-
phy for the challenge. I guess you
could call the trophy a gift from
•horse to halyards.• ·
On March 15, The New York
Yacht Club was the site.for the
Rolex 2000 Yachtsman &
Yachtswoman of the year awards.
· Dawn Riley, age 35, who skippered
the coed-crewed America's Cup
challenger • America nue,. was
honored as Yachtswoman of the
year. San Diego's Eric Doyle was
named Yachtsman. Riley teamed
up with Chris Coffiri. a local New-
port Beach product and cpo of the
America nue syndicate whose
team knocked Dennis Conner out
of the Louis Vuitton Cup finals and
Conner's charice to potentially race
against New Zealand's Kiwi Magic.
Much in life is unpredictable but
there is one thing ~ -Coffin,
Riley and Conner have already
made plane reservations back to
Auckland four years from now. In
the minds of these sailors, the sea
will remain forever turbulent until
the •Auld Mug," is back on Amerl-
can soil.

Santa Monica Bob
Burns closed
Tue Santa Monica Bob Bums Restaurant has met the
same fate as its Newport Beach
counteYparl -closed ·down
after more than 30 faithful years
in the community.
Tue restaurant, at the comer
of Wllsbire Boulevard and 2nd
Street, with its dark wooden
walls and good old fashioned
comfort food, has been privy to
many a New Year's kiss and
more than a few marriage pro-
posals. Tue same was true for
the Fashion Island store, which
closed its doors Dec. 31, 1998
after its lease with the Irvine
Co. ran ouL
ln the case of the Santa
Monica eatery, owner Bonnie
Bums. daughter of restaurant
founders Bob and Elizabeth
Bums, said the family decided
to sell its property for personal
and financial reasons.
Tue family had hoped to
lease back the restaurant. But
Bonnie Bums said she was out-
-bid by Houston's, a nationwide
chain or 37 upscale restaurants.
A spokeswoman for Hous-
ton's would not confirm the
company's intent to lease the
property, but Bonnie Bums said
she bas been told she will have
to move in July to make way for
the chain.
Tue only remaining Bob
Bums is in Woodland Hills,
which is reportedly also on the
brink of closure. Bonn.le Bums,
47, said she plans to reopen the
Santa Monica restaurant in
another location. But any
immediate plans have been
thwarted by tragedy. Her 37-
year-old husband recently died
o( a heart attack while jogging
on the beach.
But. following her family's
tradition o( hard work in the
face o( adversity, she returned
to work soon after her hus-
band's death. ·

CLOSER
CONTINUED FROM A 1
Grove, a despondent father
who was worried about losing
his young son in a custody bat-
tle. He had saibbled a suicide
note before heading to an emp·
ty church parking lot on 16th
Street. Caicedo had been
drinking and was carrying a
.38-caliber tevolver. There
were no witnesses, but a subse-
quent. investigation .by the
Orange Co\inty District Attor·
ney's office pieced together the
series of ev~nts.
A strugg~ may have ensued
between Henry and Caicedo.
A shot was fired from the
revolver, striking Henry ·in the
head. Authorities said Caicedo
then took the officer's .45·cal·
iber pistol and killed himseU.
When police arrived, they
round the suspect's body
slumped over Henry's.
Officers had a difficult time
finding Patty. A friend of the
couple's called his parents, who
in tum, contacted Patty's par-
ents. She knew something was
wrong.
·I just remember thinking
he wasn't dead, but r didn't
know how serious it was,· said
Patty, who noted Henry loved
working the graveyard shift.
HEven though he was a police
officer, I never ever worried
about his safety. I don't do wor·
rying well.•
There probably wasn't any-
thing that prepared Patty for
what she was about to see.
Henry was in bad shape. His
head had swollen and his
breathing was labored. Yet she
never gave up hope. even
though the initial prognosis
was bleak.
·1 refused to believe he was
going to die,• she recalled.
Patty was right: he was
defying the odds. The chances
of surviving a gun shot wound
to the head was less than 5 per-
cent. But Henry kept battling
and Patty never left his side.
Although Henry never
regained consciousness, she
talked to him. He held her
hand when she spoke and
refused to J.et go. When Patty

G eorge Yardley, a lift

pictures sensational high
school basketball star Bud
Attridge at Harbor High as,
•one of our idols ... and was a
champ who never lost.•
Attridge, Class of '44 and the
first-ever Sailor to win All-CIF
honors, added weight to
Yardley's words in the mid 1940s
when the 5-foot-7 ace formed
an adult team and led them to a
stunning defeat over the visiting
Harlem Globe lfotters in the
local gym.
Attridge and the former Tar
cagers, who chose to
display their magic with
finesse, astonished the
Globe 'D'otters in
leading them to defeat.
It humiliated the visitors
and almost wound up in
a physical confrontation
near the end.
father of the star basketball
player.
The father said he had never
seen his son play, but the talk
prompted Mr. Attridge to show
up for the next game at
Anaheim.
It still prompts a laugh from
Attridge today. Although he
gave it all he bad, his father
· watched the game, but left
scratching his head. With a
smile, Attridge said, •That is
about what I expected from
him."
One of the keys to Attridge's
sterling play was that he could
drive hard toward the basket
and pick up a foul,
according to Yardley.
He added, •He could
also shoot on the run."
Attridge, who
averaged 18.6 points a
game on the varsity, has
a strong recall of thr~
of his teammates:
George Spirk, Glenn
Boies and Mccorkell. Asked once to relate
his spin through a series
of championships,
Attridge said be was on Bud Attridge
1Wo of the men he
admired most in and
beyond high school days
was the late George six championship teams,
seventh grade through his senior
year in high school. "And it was
never the same team,• he said.
Looking back on yesteryear
champions, Attridge recalled that
only one team, '44 varsity, ever
lost a game. He said it lost to a
strong St. Anthony High team by
two points. It was a team that
featured a 6-foot-5 center •and
he was good,· Attridge said.
His name appeared widely
across Southern California as his
Harbor talent was rising. One
angle eventually arose when he
had a tattoo drawn across one
shoulder. That, and his edginess
with some, identified him with
"tough guys• around school.
One of the hilarious events in
spring of '44 found the late Don
Vaughn, a 6-7 grid center and
some pels gathering 1,100 ballots
to stuff into a ballot box. The
winner, between Attridge and
Tummy McCorkell would be
crowned as Harbor High's
athlete of the year.
Jbe humor spread once
election officials it was a
remarkable feat since the school
had only 500 students enrolled.
Hence, McCorkell got the prize.
it remains amusing to Attridge.
Another funny episode arose
years back when be recalled an
old basketball fan a~
Attridge'• dad at a sugar plant
outside Santa Ana once. He
adds, •0ne bas to understand
that 1D4DY dad·soo relatiombips
were not the aame years ago u
they a.re today ••
1be energized fan asked the
'
Yardley Sr. and the late A.L.
Pinkley, who operated a
downtown drugstore for years
and once served three times as
a Costa Mesa mayor.
"Those were the two men
who helped me become All-CIF
my senior year,• he said. "Mr.
Yardley also helped me get tnto
the Coast Guard.• He recalls
serving fair time in the Asian
Theater during World War Il.
Mr. Yardley and Mrs. Yardley,
who often came to observe his
play, were most supportive and
may have been the pair that
helped prompt USC to extend a
cage scholarship after the war.
Unfortunately, the USC timing
was off and Attridge felt his
grades were not quite up to a
desired level at the time.
It is interesting to note that
Attridge also le ttered for years in
varsity tennis, including the
championship team in 1941. He
didn't recall being a tennis star,
but be always enjoyed playing
the Spor$.
Prom one level to another,
Attridge spent many years
playing basketball locally and
around the county, which oft~
featured adult municipal
leagues. His teams often titles as
well.
After the war, Attridge started
a career in the oll fields, but later
switched to landscaping and
highly specialized landscaping.

DAILY PtlOT
P lastic-wrapped onto a
Styrofoam tray is a half.
pint of low fat milk, a
thin sandwich, and a cup of
watermelon Jell·O. Next to it
is a foil container of meatballs.
That's what $4.~ in f~er
al money turns into when into
when it becomes becomes
dinner for one of the home-
bound people who get meals
delive.red by the Costa Mesa
Senior Center. Though it's
not a very fancy dining expe-
rience. it's a meal that about
80 men and women in Costa
Mesa count on every day.
And that, said Alan
Meyers, executive cliTector of
the Senior Center, is why the
census is so irnp6rtant:
because there are real people
on the receiving end of feder·
al services. and failing to
count them is like taking food
out of their mouths.
There are a lot more
seniors in the area now than,
there were in 1990. Meyers
said. Getting the count right Is
going to be crucial for meet·
ing their needs in the decade
ahead.
Though the census may
seem like an abstract exe.rdse
in statistics, the population
data that it provides will ulti·
mately translate into federal
money and resources. Many
019anizatioo.s that provide ser·
vices for locals stand to have
their funding changed -and
quite possibly inaeased -
because ol the way the feder-
al government uses the cen-
sus to distribute cash.
In the 1990 census, said
Lance Ungennan, the
Complete Count coordinator
for the city. Costa Mesa lost
almost S2 mlllioa because of
undereounting.
•And it's not just fUnding, •
Ungerman said. •Jt's a matter
of knowing where to put the
funding.·
Ungerman is woddng to

pen again and wtth good re&·

I n a cla.ssroom the Matt
Kline Head Start program
in Costa Mesa. where the
lights are turned low to keep
kids calm. 3·year-old Anthony
Alvarez is listening to a story
about socks. • rve never been worn, and
it doesn't seem fair,· reads
Anna Mestemacher, the
teacher who slowly turns
through the pages of the chil-
dren's book.
Alvarez is enthralled by
the story, which bas a very
exdting sock as its main char·
act er.
He comes here four days a
week. three and a half bows a
day, for just this kind ol thing:
to &eern simple leaom, play
with other kids bis age. and
practice basic a.oaJytica1 atills.
Even though he's bavtng
fun, he's also learning,
absorbing knowledge about
his peers and about the world
that will help him be a more
effective, more comfortable
student when be starts first ·
grade.
lbat's the whole potnt of
Head Start. said Rose Alvarez,
the child development super·
visor of the Matt Kline pro-
gram. It gives kids from
undeiprivileged backgrounds
the kind of stimulating envi-
ronment that wealthie.r chil-
dren typically enjoy in pre·
school
•So often the children of
poverty do not have the
preschool experience for
socialization and cognitive
activities to help them build
their academic skills,• Alvarez
said. "These aze experiences
that most kids have and take
for granted.•

to come from fund-raising and
otheT grants. .
Getting a more accurate
census count could help the
kids who come lo the pro-
gram, she Mid. both because
it mighl lnaeue the amount
ol money provided by the fed·
era1 pemment and because
the numbers collected could
be heJpful in appl)1ng for
other funding IOUICes.
•When agencies apply for
grants, you have to provide
statistics that prove that you
have tbe need for the money.·

•Everything we have in this

On the walls around the

posters descnbmg the lDlpor-
tance of the census.
"Es Nuestro Futuro, • they
say in Spanish. •Hagase

Make yourself count.·
The posters are up all over
the center because Santoyo
wants the kids who come -
and their famWes -to under-
stand that returning the fonns
for their household can make
a difference in thelr own lives.
"Wbat we're trying to show
these kids is that it's a respon-
sibility to be counted as an
individual in the census,•
Santoyo sa.ld. •Jt's our respon-
sibility and our duty to make
sure that people stand up and
be counted.•
Statistically speaking, the

that, according to Ungerman,
historically bas been worried
about the information on the
census being used by immi-
gyation officials.
·Tue Hispanic populabon
is one major population that is
undercounted, because
they're concerned about the
confidentiality,• Ungerman
said.
The idea that the census
could be seen by police or
immigration workers is false,
Ungerman said. Nothing that
gets written on the fonns goes
beyond the office of the cen-
sus.
What it can do, though. is
affect the way the federal
government perceives the
needs of a community like
Costa Mesa. drewing atten-
tion to the places that need
better services.
Ungerman said Costa
Mesa is sending out ootices to
city residences desaibing
what tbe census is about, and
•wby it's important to retwn
tbe forms.

COSTA MESA -Five adults sal al a
table covered with fonns in Spanish,
English, Vietnamese, Tagalog and Korean
Tuesday morning.
Three wore red.
·It's just a coincidence,• said Debbie
Loehner, director of the region's Census
Questionnaire Assistance Centers.
The U.S. Census employees set up the
five centers in two Costa Mesa schools, St.
Joachim Catholic Cbwch and Sha.re Our
Selves soup kitchen. They are there to
help people wlfamillar with the census,
reluctant to fill out the forms or who never
received one, lo be counted..
Spanish speaking Jay Jaffe, a census
employee al the table who wore a red
aloha shirt. was on hand to help inteJpret
• for residents speaking Spanish only.
Local census outreach workers distrib-
uted fliers publicizing the centers at
schools, chwcbes, English langilage
schools and community centers. The cen-
ters also were announced. on radio sta-
tions.
The federal government uses census
data is used to determine which areas
should receive more funding for schools,
police, social services and street repairs.
Lance Ungerman. the city's census out-
reach worker, said Costa Mesa was
severely shortchanged by approximately
$2 million because of undercounting in
the last census.
Loehner said most people who don't fill
out the census fonns are afraid the infor-
mation would somehow be used against
them. Federal law, however, requites the
U.S. Census Bweau to keep individual
information sealed for 72 years.
"They don't understand the strict confi-
dentiality rules,· Loehner said.
"Nond.tizens art! wonied the information
will go to the INS. Citizens wony il will
go to the IRS.·
She also said people living in homes
with more than one family are worried
that they will gel busted for violating
housing codes.
"They think they'll gel in trouble for
having 15 people in their bedroom,•
Loehner said. "But that's the very infor-
mation we need to know to determine
that there's a need for low-iooome hous-
ing. rt's important that each member of a
household be counted on the forms.•
Loehner said many non-English speaking
households aren't aware that tbe fonns
,. are available in their native language.
This is relatively common in Costa Mesa.
which bas a large Spanish-speaking pop-
ulation.

pueda parecer un e1ercicio
abstracto de estatisbcas, los
datos demograticos que
proveera al tin van a traduciTSf'
en dinero y recursos federales
Muchas organizaciones que
proporcionan servidos publicos
locales podran recibir mas o
menos fondos federales debido
seg1in como el gobiemo federal
emplee el Censo para distribuir
el dinero.
En el Censo del 1990,
Costa Mesa perd.i6 casi $2 mil-
liones de d6lares debido a su
poblaci6n no induida, dijo
Lance Ungerman. Coordinador
de la Cuenta Completa para
la ciudad de Costa Mesa. •y
no se trata solamente de con-
seguir fondos.• dijo Ungerman.
·Se trata de saber ad6nde
poner los fondos. •
El senor Ungennan estA
trabajando para asegurarse
que no vuelva a repetirse el
problema y con buena razl>n.

'Head START'
E n un sal6n de dase del
programa ·Matt Kline
Head Start· de Costa
Mesa donde han bajado las
luces para calmar a los n.iilos,
Antonio Alvarez de tres ailos
est.a escuchando un cuento
acerca de unos calcetines.
•Nunca me ban usado, y no
me parece justo, • lee Anna
Mestemacher, I.a maestra qwen
da vuelta lentamente las pagi-
nas del libro para o.iilos.
Alvarez est.a muy encantado
con el cuento que tiene como
personaje central un calcetfn
emcx:ionante. El viene predsa-
mente para este ti.po de cosa
cuatro dias a la semana, tres
horas y media al c::lia: para
aprender lecdooes basicas,
jugar con otros n1Dos de su
m1sma edad y para practk:ar
destrezas analftir..a.s b6.sicas.
Aunque se divierte, tambien
eslci aprendlendo. Aprende
acerca de sus pares y del
mundo y esto lo ayudara a ser
un mejor estucliante y mas
tranquilo cuando empezara tl
primer grado. Este es el punto
clave del ·Head Start·, dijo
Rosa Alvarez, la supervisora
del progama para el desaroUo
infantfi Matt Kline.
Los ni.iios de familias no
privilegiadas tienen aquf un
ambiente estimulante que tipi-
camente est.a reservado para
los niiios mas ricos durante los
a.Dos preescolares.
Frecuentemente, los niflos
pobres no tienen como e.xpeJi-
encia preescolar para la sodal-
iz.ad6n y las actividades cogni-
tivas que Jes ayudara mas
tarde en sus destrezas
academicas, dijo Alvarez.
Estas son experiendas que la
mayorta de los niilos ya tienen
y que se dan como dados Para
cada uno de los 136 estud.i-
antes insattos en Matt Kline, el
programa propordona
$5,203.00. El d.inero apenas
paga por los matertales de
enseDanza y lo& sa1a.rios de los
maestros. El 80% del dinero
viene diredamente del gobier-
no federal. El resto, dijo
Alavarez, bene que obtener.;e
juntando foodos a traves de
otras donaciones. El obtener
un Censo mas indusivo y exac-
to podria ayudar a los niilos
que vienen a este programa en
dos formas, dijo ella: primero.
podria incrementar la canbdad
de dinero dispensado por el
gobiemo federal y segundo, los
mimeros provistos por el Censo
podJ1an ayudar en la solic-
itad6n de otros recursos y fon-
dos.
·cuando las agendas solio-
tan fondos, hay que mostrar
estatisticas para probar que se
necesita el dinero, • dijo
Alvarez.

estan entre los grupos m6s en

\
al hecho que muchos de ellos

segtin Ungennan, ha tenudo
tustoncamente que la informa·
oon del Censo sea utibzada
por los ofioales de la mmi·
graoon

Ungerman. La idea de que el

Ungerman.
