Roger Carlson DAILY PILOT LA JOLLA -Newport Beach 's Paul Salata, who has endeared himself to the commu- nity in .so many relevant ways, found himself at another plateau Friday night when he was given a Lifetime Achievement award. The distinguished award came from the NFL Alumni Association during its "Evening with the Legends Dinner " at the Torrey Pines Hilton. "There may be somebody more deserving than I , but none will appreciate this more than I do." Paul Salata brothers and their wives, and a host of others. Among them were longtime pals of Salata, includ- ing George Yardley, Newport Beach's basketball Hall of Farner, Olympic diving legend Sammy Lee and former Los Angeles Times and Orange County Register sportswriter John Hall. "There may be somebody more deserving than J, • said Salata, "but none will appreciate this more than I do.• Salata, in a style unlike his usual happy banter, said, "The game is more important than teams or individuals. It's the industry that counts, as opposed to agents and egos.· Also singled out by the NFL Alumni for ·Leather Helmet· The 73-year-old Salata, founder of the infamous Irrele- vant Week in Newport Beach, was honored by the Fort Laud- erdale, Fla.-based alumni group for bis accomplishments on and off the field -most n otably his time-honored Irrelevant Week, which has toasted and roasted the last player chosen in the annual NFL Draft for nearly a quarter-century.

I go to CHOC Follies every year for two main reasons: my friends. The first friend is Stephanie Bond -who has a heart of gold and a voice destined for platinum. With her show-stopping voice, she has been in the show for three years. • 1 want to use the gilts and talents that God gave me to benefit others,• Stephanie said. "I love it. I love the peo· pie and I love that I can sing and bring in money for the children. ·I also love see mg successful people want to give back to the community. I think people are surprised at the level of talent when you consider that so many of them are not normally on stage.· She's right. From the moment the cur- tain rose to the finale, I was impressed by the cast members, as they entertained us with songs and portrayed characters from fairy tales and cartoons. The second friend is CHOC itself. I'm sad to say that my sister, Marty, and her husband, Dave, spent more time at CHOC than they care to remember, but they do recall bow wonderful the people were. ·They were like family,• Marty said. ·Tuey helped us get through a horrible experience in the most gentle way possi- ble.· When Marty and Dave's son, David, was just 9 months old, he ended up at CHOC, critically ill with congestive heart failure and double pneumonia. David was there for three weeks, and he returned again two years later for open-heart surgery. "Everyone was wonderful and did an exceptional job. We feel very blessed to have received such quality care,• Marty said. Today, David is a delightful 15-year- old and is active in school, sports and church . At the follies, near the end of the per· formance, a handsome young performer named Andrew Cipolla spoke eloquently about what CHOC means to him. •I spent eight years at CHOC battling leukemia,• he said. ·c HOC is the peo- ple. CHOC is the nurse who held me in her arms when I was 10 yea.rs old, when I had a bad night. CHOC is the doctor who gave me her home phone number in case I needed to call. CHOC is the nurs· es who cried when I left the hospital.

Wwsui5 can be merited-frivolous or 'misguided' A bout 25 years ago, I was a starving college student en route to the Coliseum in Los Angeles to see one of the best football games ever: USC vs. Okla- homa. I was behind the wheel or a car at a stop sign on a side street off of busy Vennont Avenue. In the passenger seat was my friend, Mike Thomas. A guy Ol') a 10- speed bicyde was speeding down Vennont and was about to pass in front of us when a car on Vermont start- ed to make a left turn onto the side street. To avoid the car, the bike man steered out of control and ran smack into my driver-side door. denting it. About two weeks later, I got a call from the bike man's lawyer, wanting to know who was re presenting me. •Huh?" was my reply. It ~med that even though I was behind the lim- it line painted on the street, even though I had a witness Steve Smith WHAT'S UP? to the accident and even though I bad done absolutely nothing wrong, I was going to be sued. And so, I had to get a lawyer. My lawyer described to me bow the system worked. It didn't matter that I was not at fault -I had assets. "But I don't have any assets: I said. "I have to borrow money to go to col- lege!" ·wrong,• he said. "You have auto insurance. That's your asset." I was about to be sued not because I did anything wrong, but because it was allowed and because a lawyer thought I bad auto insurance -something for which to sue. My lawyer told it to me in plain English: lawyers don't sue people without assets. Now we come to the case of a Costa Me~ preschool into which Steven Abrams js alleged to have deliberately driven his car and 'killed two children, Sierra Soto and Brandon Wiener. lh recent days, threi! read- ers have taken me to task for my wonder ove.· the lawsuits filed by the families of both children. For the record, I have nev- er commented in this space on the lawsuit filed by Sier- ra's mother against the preschool. Not one single word have I written. And because I expressed dismay at the lawsuit Wed by the Wiener family, I am labeled by one letter write r as a part of something called the •tawsuit redneck" crowd, whatever that is. My comments of several weeks ago on the Wiener lawsuit induded a not-so- veiled attempt at disgust, should it be true that some or all of the memorial fund to which I and many others contributed find its way mto the pockets of attorneys hired to press this case. We sent money to a memorial fund, not a lawsuit fund. In one letter, someone who presumably knows the source of the lawye.r fees djd not address this issue. Another letter containecl the line, "Lawsuits are an impor- tant part of the checks and balances that cause our sys- tem to be near perfect.• Well, I'd like to make the legal system even closer to perfect by offering one tweak: loser pays. It's simple. You want to sue me? Fine. But if you lose, you pay the bills for my legal services, too. I grew up watching Ralph Nader take a dangerous car off the street. I saw other attorneys sue to compensate workers who handled We- lhreatening products without proper protection from their employers and who sued to keep the same damage from happening to others. There was something nearly noble about those times and those lawswts and for a while, I wanted to be a lawyer, to defend and fight for the little guy. But it's different now. The · sad consequence or the preschool accident is that the weapon ot choice used by the accused was a car. Had the children been outside, behind a car-proof fence, it would not have prevented anyone from hurting the chil- dren if he was determined to do so -with either a gun or a knife. There are lawsuits and there are frivolous lawsuits. This case is neither. I believe these lawsuits fall into a third category called ·misguided· lawsuits. Yes, a Judge may deter- mine that the lawsuits against the preschool are frivolous or rrusgwded. but the preschool will sb..Ll be left with legal bills. And smce the high ground seems to be domg what is Just, I suggest we set an outstandmg precedent for the nabon right here in town ·and have the plwntiffs agree that if the preschool is found not guilty of any neglJgence. they'll pay lhe school's Legal bills.· But the Back Bay will be a cement slab before that ever happen.$. . One of1he poor choices I made in my young and stu- pid days was to save money by not buying auto msw- dnce. After lhe bike man htt my car, a letter was sent to bJs attorney stating thJs fact and requesb.ng the new legal status of theu pending law- suit. We never again heard from the bike mdn. • STEVE SMfTH is a Costa M esa resident and freelance wnter He can be reached via e-mail at da1- lypilot0/at1mes com, 0< call our Readerl Hotline at (949) 642-6086.

Daity Pilot Saturday, Apr~ e, 2000 A7 Wben pampered Bonsai trees add miniature magic, mystical moods A 11 things Oriental seem to be too hot to handle these day.s but there's something about bonsai that \nlnScends the lrends. Bonsai have a last- ing, living spirit that encour- ages us to use our imagina- tions. To pretend that we are tiny enough to enjoy these man-made forests by shrinking ourselves and lying under a bomai tree. To imagine looking up through the horizontal branches, feeling the gnarled trunk with ow fin- gers. Just for a moment, trans- porting us into another time and place. A simpler time and place. A Lilliputian under a Grand nee. A child under a Monterey pine. A voyeur into a secret and magical world. This is lhe true appeal of bonsai. The art of bonsai is a Japanese gardening tech- nique that produces minia- ture specimens of shrubs and trees. Bonsai were cre- ated more than 2,000 years ago in China in an attempt to replicate natural oddities: infrequently a tree in the forest will become dwarfed because of root-binding conditions. In China, these tiny trea- sures were regarded as a magical phenomenon. Many of the Chinese elite attempted to copy the con- ditions necessary to produce these small wonders. In the.15th century, the technique was introduced to Japan, where it has enjoyed great appreciation and enthusiasm. The ancient form of training and miniaturizing healthy trees and shrubs in con- tainers is receiving kudos in the Western world, as well. 'lhle bonsai aficionados have been around for years, ,• Ka~"~ht ~ > ,~~~au~E~E \It I , ·~ extolling the virtues of the Oriental technique. Ben Oki, curator of the Japanese Garden at the Huntington Library in San Marino, is a bonsai master and has been a bonsai con- sultant for years. He tours the country, speaking about bonsai as well as the art of arranging stones in outdoor gardens and ikebana, the minimalist art of arranging cut flowers. He also designs private gardens for clients. One of Oki's specialties is using California junipers in a rugged free-form style by fast wiring to achieve hori- zontal branches, and root pruning to limit growth. Bonsai was used fre- quently during the Arts and Crafts movement in the ear- ly 1900s. Many of the Craftsman-style homes and buildings incorporated Asian influences into their interior and exterior designs. Bonsai trees can be deciduous or evergreen and generally range in height from 2 inches to 4 feet. Bonsai literally translates into •tray-planted.• They are kept small by pruning the tops and roots, creating a balance of the two. Branches are pinched and occasionally wired to achieve horizontal branch growth. Bonsai are intended to have a mature look, with trunks that are weathered and gnarled, with roots twisting upward•above the soil. The only elements of a nsai that are not reduced in size are the naty.ral flow- ers and fruits of tpe plant. •Bonsai is a 9ever-end- lng thing," say,S Bob Harris, president~f e Bonsai Society of S Lou.i . •A tree is never f , shed. dnce you achlev~fte shape you want, you must maintain it and keep the plant healthy.• Harris continues "bonsai are the most pampered of plants. They are watered daily and frequently fertil- ized. The pruning allows the tree to fill out and opens it up to get more sunlight and air.• Bonsai can live hundreds of years in pots. In Japan, these horticultural family members are passed down Crom generation to genera- tion. Plants with small leaves are the best candidates for bonsai. Small, leafed box- wood, junipers and azaleas are all popular candidates for the bonsai process. Bonsai can range from $10 for a young plant to thousands of dollars for an old, well-maintained speci- men. Harris encourages begin- ners to start with a 3-inch potted plant. Prune the inside of the plant to expose the trunk. Keep branches that grow horizontally and selectively trim them to give them the appearance of a mature tree. Harris likes to plant five or six of the same plants in a shallow tray to give the appearance of a small for- est. He uses regular potting soil, only an inch or two deep, and covers the soil with sphagnum moss. He recommends placing the Bra&Patdfl Sale Kristen's Llngerie • Loungewear • Gifts Westcllff Court • 1719 Westcllff Dr. Newport Beach Monday -Saturday 10-6 (949) 631-SEXY (7399) · efinishing R.C.

A recipient of a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Orange County Sports Hall of Fame, as well as a member of the Daily Pilot's Sports Hall of Fame, this latest conquest is but another stepping stone for the indefatigable Salata, despite his •retired• status. The die was cast in the ear- ly l~Os at Franklin High in Los Angeles, where he was student body president and Athlete of the Year as a senior. Salata was a receiver for the USC Trojans, with two Rose Bowl appearances. His list of professional credits include stints with the San Francisco 49ers, Baltimore Colts and Pittsburgh Steel- ers, as well as the Calgary Stampeders of the Canadian Football League.

As a 12-year-old with six brothers, he sold newspapers on a cor- ner in Los Angeles as his fam- ily scratched its way to suc- cess. It was not long after his football career that he found his niche in the business world, not only making it in a big way, but having a great time doing it with a unique sense of humor, working over- time to tickle everyone's fun- ny bones. A Linda Isle resident and a Balboa Bay Club governor, Salata continues his daily repertoire of making others feel good and bringing con- stant positives to Newport Beach and its surroundings.

Break dancing was born in the schoolyards and street cor· ners of the Bronx in the 1970s. Its historians -many break dancers, including Ramirez, know hip-hop history like baseball fans know statistics -say its birth coincided with the d evelopment of rap music, graffiti art and deejaying. But while rap music and deejaying thrive in main· stream, suburban America, break dancing has remained relatively underground. Spiky-haired Luis Men- doza , 13, was hanging out with friends at the Save Our Youth after-school program when he saw, and was unpressed by, the break-danc- ing Naughty Boys. Six months later, after watching, practic- ing and eventually dancing with the crew, he became its youngest member. When Lws -who unlike the other Naughty Boys, still looks like a boy -arrived Wednesday, they all slapped lus back and urged him to dance. #Ya no puedo; I can't now. I hurt myself,# he said, massag- ing his thigh -the site of a recent break-dancing injury. But within seconds, he was spinning on the tattered linolewn mat like a tea cup at Disneyland.

However, foundation board member Lucille Kuehn said the protracted wrangling had simply become tiresome. ·we want to get on with the business of the foundation, which is to support the library,• she said. The two sides finally moved toward a truce after falling out in October over questions of fund- ing and control. At that time, the trustees expressed concern over the oper- ating costs of the foundation and moved to take a larger role in its operations. The trustees went so far as to threaten to sever ties with the foundation and evict the organi- zation from its offices in the Cen- tral Ubrary on Avocado Avenue. In January, city officials stepped into the fray. Mayor John Noyes held court over a series of meetings, during which the two sJdes aired their differences. And City Attorney Bob Burnham drafted the cooperation memo that the parties have endorsed. The memo tries •to clearly define the respective roles that each group plays with respect to library functions,· Burnham said. •Tue trustees have certain responsibilities and duties and the foundation has its private entity role.· The goal of the document; he said, ls to ensure that •everybody realizes where the lines of author- ity are.• That sort of clarity has been sorely lacking in the long-running dJspute, and part of the ambigui· ty seems to be due to the complex nature of the relationship between the two groups. The foundation is a nonprofit, fund-raising organization that exists to circumvent rules pro- hibiting government bodJes from raising mQDey. It is an entity dJs- tinct from the library, with its own set of directors. The interaction between the two organizatioljlS showd, 1ri thee- ry, be a. cooperative endeavor. But both sides admit that communJca- tion across institutional lines has been poor. "When you're working cooper- atively on a project, everybody's doing their best to get it done, and sometimes they slip into roles that aren't specifically what's called for by their charter,• said Burnham. Specifically. the groups have squabbled over who should han- dle the library's Distinguished Lecture Series, what the nature of the foundation's fund-raising efforts should be, and a few other issues. Library trustee Catherine Sarr said under the new agreement, both groups will sponsor the lec- ture series. "The intention is to continue running' it the way we're running it now," she said. Burnham said he hopes the agreement, which reaffirms "the distinctly different roles• of the two sides, will prevent this kind of confusion in the future. AUTISM CONTINUED FROM A 1 other classrooms as well, but spends a large portion of her day in the first· grade class. Autistic students are fully included and work at the same pace as other students, only leaving for special help in certain areas, such as speech. The program began three years ago with a self-contained class where stud ents were taught.communication and. social skills, with the emphasis on teaching them h ow to follow teachers' instructions and how to behave in art educational setting, Cooper said. After a year of being partially mainstreamed, the p1ograrn took the bold step of complete inclusion and has enjoyed great successes. One of the keys to the program's success is that it is always changing to fit students' needs, creating a seamless transition for them. Next year, several of the rnamstreamed students who came to Paularino for the program will return to their neighborhood schools. Carol Cherney, whose son Derek was mainstreamed this year, has been pleasantly surprised by the results. •At first, we didn't think he'd be able to handle it. But he has blos- somed tremendously," Cherney said. Derek was diagnosed as autistic several . years ago, but as Cooper worked with him, she concluded that he might be dealing with something a little different. Derefc, they discovered, has selec- tive mutism, an extreme anxiety dis- order that causes him to s peak in select situations -only when he is comfortable with his surroundings.

Before his death, it was common- ly held that aspects of Shostakovich's work were compromised by his cooperation with the Communist government.

JIM WASHBURN Costa Mesa I am saddened by Tom Edwards' ("Tune for Plan B?" March 23) loss of vision for the future of our county and our transportation needs. Tom, although well meaning in his attempt to offer solutions for limiting expansion at John Wayne Airport, has forgotten or set aside what the future needs of air trans- portation will be for Orange County . Let's look at the true economics of this situation: U no airport is built at El Toro, we, in this couqty, are left with two options. The first option is to ship all our future air transporta- tion needs out of the county. This would most likely mean using either Ontario or LAX for passenger ser- vice (March Air Force Base still remains the be~t option for all cargo transport, even with El Toro). u this is our first choice, we in Orange County stand to lose tens of millions of dollars in federal grant funding for infrastructure. In plain terms, the county that does address (air) transportation needs gets the money from the Feds to build better roads, sewe:rs, freeways, offramps, intersections, etc., because they are the ones in need, due to the higher volume of people using their facili- ties. What's the likelihood our coun- ty officials are going to kiss goodbye all that.future additional money we need from the federal government to maintain our county's infrastruc- ture? And while I absolutely agree that we must all come together to keep the restrictions in place at John Wayne Airport, it is completely El Toro will mean lower ticket fares I invite the community to join with my friend. Newport Beach resident Henry "Hank" Webe.r in promoting the benefits of an airport at El Toro. In spite of the passage of Measure F we believe there will be an interna- tional airport at El Toro. Either the courts or the voters at the November election will con- firm the planning process. In any case, we -you and 1-need to promote the benefits of an airport at the closed Marine Corps base. The benefits are simply more des- tinations available and lower fares. In January, I needed to fly to Minneapolis on a couple of days' notice. The aiJfare from John Wayne was $1,780, while the air- fare from LAX was $389. Why? More airlines to choose from. While I live a couple of miles from John Wayne, I chose to drive to LAX to save the money. This month, my wife Barbara needs to fly to Sacramento for a one-day business trip. The cost from John Wayne was more than $450 while it's less than $200 from LAX. Why? More airlines to choose from. John Wayne Airport is conve- nient and our family uses it for as many filghts as we can. A second airport in Orange County would provide the advantage of an LAX without the added travel time, free- way congestion and pollution. The public needs to be reminded why we need an airport at Bl Toro - more destinations available and lower fares. All of the objections raised by those in South County can be miti- gated. The objections are not a problem except in the rabid, fanat- ical anti-airport opponent who will not accept an airport for any rea- son at any time. Hank Weber an<i I have printed up at our expense 2,000 three-color bumper stickers that say "El Toro Airport -More Destinations Lower Fares." They are easy to remove from a bumper. They are available free of charge at the Newport Harbor Area Chamber of Commerce, Ter- ry's Unocal 76 Station at 17th Street and Tustin, and the Orange Chamber of Commerce. Or call my office at (949} 660-8665 and I will mail one to you. One friend recently said he wouldn't put one on his car because he didn't want to rui.J:i his car's bumper. The more I thought about his comments-, I thought that a 25% loss in the value of his home if John Wayne Airport is expanded to handle our airport traffic needs may be more expen- sive than taking off the bumper sticker. Residents countywide need to be reminded of the benefits of an international airport at El Toro. I challenge you to help promote the benefits -more destinations and lower fares. JIMDE BOOM Newport Beach J\~ , ·RE Bun AL Heather Some~ unrealistic to think that other communities are going to embrace our air traffic needs. Ontario for instance is limited in expcPlSion due to the Air Quality Management Dis- trict regulations. LAX is already designing its facility to address additional air transport needs just for Los Angeles County resi- dents. If they were to consider embracing our needs, you can plan on doubling four travel time just to get to the airport, of waiting for flights at higher costs and who knows if you'll be able to park once you do get to the airport? Camp Pendleton keeps surfacing as a pos- -sibility. But, there is zero interest from the Department of the Navy. It's not even an offer on the table. 11tl.s brings us to option No. 2, expand John Wayne. The cost of expanding John Wayne Airport in today's dollars is more than $4.3 bil- lion. That's almost two times the cost of building an airport at El Toro. Most of that cost is in land acquisition and most of that land is in the cities of Costa Mesa and Newport Beach. That's some of the most expensive and desirable land and businesses in all of Orange County, if not the entire state. That ERIC HUTCHISON amount also only encompasses air- port costs. That does not take into account f]ee~ays, city streets, sew- ers, bridges, offramps or service costs surround.in,g the airJ?ort for construction at John Wayne. Other key economic factors that have been quietly overlooked are the costs of the land at El Toro if it does not become an airport. The Department of the Navy has agreed to clean the land (soil) to a . specific level of industrial accept- ability if it is to be an airport. U the Millenniwn Plan -which is to be parkland, commercial and residen- tial properties -.is to be implement- ed, the cost of cleaning the land to residential standards falls on the tax- payers of Orange County. This cost alone could run into billions of dol- lars due to the size and depth of the dirt to be considered. This only cov- ers the cost of the soil, by the way; it does not begin to approach the cost of cleaning water contamination. Another cost that has not been out- lined is the cost of building the future "Great Parkn that the Millen- nium Plan espouses. Some projec- tions have estimated $250 million for the park itself. And beyond building the park, no cost factors have been outlined for the maintenance costs of such a large park. Some estimates are more than $2.5 million per year to maintain it, based on other parks of similar size and scope. This prob- ably means another bond issue. which in plain terms means higher taxes for everyone in the county. Personally, I would rather see each city use their bond measures to pro- mote parks in their own communi- ties, not some Great Park site that few of the other cities' residents will ever experience. So, that brings us back to El Toro. It's already an airport. It's the least . cost to everyone in continuing to be an airport. El Toro addresses our county's future air transport needs. The Navy supports the continuation as an airport both in clean up and future need. El Toro still promotes commercial growth and encourages new business interests to locate in Orange County. And here's one last little gem I'd like to impart to the residents of the entire county. Why not make El Toro a profit-sharing airport that would directly contribute dollars to all our ailing school districts and cities in need of better police, fire and other city services? Those cities most direcUy affected by the new airport would receive greater per- centages than those less affected. John Wayne ·Airport goes on as it has with the current restrictions and revenues to the county. It is clear we need a new vision- ary direction. More information needs to be shared. Measure F is not the end. It is the beginning of better planning. Everyone can win with a little vision and a lot more understanding of the potential costs and benefits. • HEATMElt SOMERS. is a Costa Mesa City Councilwoman.

SEA KINGS CRASH IN 15-6 SETBACK •Laguna Beach erases 5-0 deficit to pull even with CdM , Mesa in the PCL race. 8any Faulkner · DAJlY PILOT CORONA DEL MAR-ln a turnaround only Microsoft stockholders could appreciate, the Corona del Mar High baseball team went from blue chip to Black Friday in a 15-6 Paci.fie Coast League loss to visiting Laguna Beach. Nine of the first 10 Sea King hitters reached base as the hosts put a fiv.e-spot on the board before all the players' fathers had arrived Crom work. And with sophomore starter Cavan Cuyler mowing down Artists in search of his fourth win in as many decisions --four of his nine stnke- outs came in the first two scoreless innings -it appeared as if CdM was bound for its third high-scoring win of the week. But, as quickly as one could say Dow Jones industrial average, the Artists started stringing hits together. A hit batter, three singles and a strikeout pre- ceded Kirk Ziegler's towering two-run home run in the visitors' five-run third, erasing what would be CdM's only lead. Three straight Artist singles followed a lead- off double; sacrifice bunt and a strikeout in the fourth, to help Laguna Beach post a 7-5 cushion and take the life out of the CdM dugout. ~After beating Garden Grove Monday (16- 15) and the way we played against (Laguna Beach in a 14-3 win Tuesday), I kind of thought we were rounding third and heading for home: CdM Coach John Emme said. •But then, all of a sudden, we were back standing on second." The Sea Kings, who had six ruts the first two innings, had only two base runners advance past second the rest of the way. The hosts (7-6, 3-3 in league) scored agam to trim the deficit to 7-6 in the fourth, but Laguna Beach {4-7, 3-3) scored seven runs in the bfth after two were out to make the outcome all but academic. ·They spanked us," Emme said of the Artists' 18-hit attack. which included at least one rut from every spot in the lineup. Ziegler, a junior who now has four homers. finished 3 for 5 with five RBis and catcher Ryan Gagnet went 3 for 5 with three RBis. •1t looks like the old Laguna Beach team is back,• first-year Artists Coach Mike Schubert said. ·we were playing pretty well early m the year and we opened league 2-0.
