A letter from a loving daughter When it comes to her paintings, I tend to be one of her worst attics, and we often argue over whether a color is blue-green or gretm·bh.le.

JOHN WAYNE AIRPO.T At a special ses- sion called Tuesday evening, the El Toro Reuse Planning Authority said it would sue Newport Beach to stop a recent mailer an-a lelevision ad by pro-airport groups. The filer criticized Irvine's Great Park plan, which could go forward if voters approve the authority's initiative in March 2002. The cable spot depicted a rabbit eating a dollar bill and promised new taxes to pay for the park. Authority members would not say when they will file the suit. On Fnday, the group sued the South- ern California Assn. of Govern- ments, alleging it hadn't prepared an adequate environmental review of its recommendation for an airport at the closed El Toro Marine base.

NEWPORT City Manager IEACH Homer Bludau pre- sented a balanced budget to council members ~ week, with income of $136.9 mil- lion and expenditures at $135.S million. A blueprint for the city's spending actjvities over the year, the budget is not set in stone. But council membertt will spend a total of three study ses- sions and two public bearings before adopting the document on June 26. Some issues, such as a proposal to hire 14 new employees and a lack of funds to oover higher ener- gy costs, have already faced criti- cism from several council members and will likely be debated more in weeks to come. And pointing to a possible eco- nomic slowdown, Councilman Tod Ridgeway said it was time to begin looking into dty services that ·could be privatized to save money.

She and ber husband, Anton Hershey, worked in the Little Market on Balboa Island. He eventually started a nursery in one of the empty lots across the street.

The couple started a small eusiness with tbe nursery and called It Hershey's Cafe.

There were others - paper scissors, fabric scis- sors, ldtthen scissors -and nCH1ne would dare misuse a pair while growing up. Today, there are still at least ten different 'pairs of scissors at Padrlck's Santa Ana home. Her grown-up daughters have come over to visit, as they usually do to swim (Padrick loves to swim) and take care of their mother. She suffers from severe dementia and ls in the beginning stages of Alzheimer's disease. •Sometimes she asks, 'Of what value is my life?'· said Peggy Engard. ·she was so devastated by losing her (driver's} license, and she feels J..ilte she's so depen- dent, and everything she wants to do she has to ask somebody ... but she's a good listener.

McDermott said the initial complamt by Rodman's neighbors 10cluded allega- tions that Rodman was violat- ing the no1Se ordinance and dJsturbing the p eace. One household complained that party-goers had camped out on its patio, he said. "Part of the problem is th.is party creates traffic congestion and the noise generation from a live band is a disturbarlce of the peace,• he said. •Any live, amplified music is agairlSt the city code and he's got two-foot high speakers.

Paclrick remembers almost all of the references to the past -both in the let- ter she's hearing and in the photo album on her lap - despite the onset of Alzheimer's. There's a bul- letin boa.rd in her home with pictures of all four of her daughters -including Dorothy Sabino of Washing- ton and Lorraine Boyd of Kansas -and other family membe.rs, to help Padrick remember who's who.

"And she would say I don't care lf you just get C's,• Irene Engard, 54, said. "I n~ver got rewarded for good grades.• Which, ironically, explains why both her local daugh- ters graduated at the top of their classes. Padrick had some other quirky traditions.

She says that's where the art is -here the intrigue lies. •I made this table, but notice: all of its beauty is underneath,• Paclrick said. Rodman's dramatic entrance was unappreciated by police. A helicopter landed on the public beach illegally to bring Rodman to the party. McDermott said. "There's always the poten- tial that there could be some- body there he doesn't see on a public Qeach, • McDermott said. "The unau- thorized helicopter landing was dangerous.• Although police already have the tail number of the helicopter, \hey were still try- ing to track down the pilot by press time. . . Officers already warned Rodman on Friday to take down a chain-link fence he put up on the beach behind his house. Rodman promised he would take the fence down, said McDermott, who added Friday that Rod.man would be cited if he didn't remove the fence by Saturday. Rodman already has a record number of citations, most of which have been issued for loud partying at his home. DESIGN CENTER "For All Your Decorating Needs!"

EDITORIALS South County needs to halt its lawsuit T hey have to be joking. That was our ini· tial response when we learned the South County-based El Toro Reuse Planning Authority offi· cials had directed their lawyers to begin a lawsuit against New- port Beach for undertaking a - campaign against the Great Park. The Great Park, or what is now being called the Orange County Central Park, is being pitched by South County cities as an alternative to building a new county airport at the now- closed El Toro Marine base. Newport Beach leaders, of course, have argued strongly for an El Toro airport to be built to take the pressure off of federal and county officials to expand John Wayne. The debate has turned into an all-out war, and no one expects that the battle tactics win be pretty. But this latest move by the planning authority is downright dripping in ttypocrisy. What the South County anti· a11'port leaders are saying is that public money cannot be spent on campaigns for or against ini· liatives. But isn't that exactly what South County cities have been doing so far? Over the ldSt three years, the city of Irvine, to use one exam- ple, has spent $.5 million in the promotion of alternative uses of • the dosed El Toro Mahoe base. And one of those uses is the creation of a central park. And what about all of the public funds that the anti-air· port leaders used to pitch Mea· sure F, the now unconstitutional li.nitiative that would have required a two-thirds vote for airports, jails and landfills? How was that not the same thing? Nary a day can go by with· out seeing some sort of televi· sion commercial on local cable stations pitching the serenity and family atmosphere that a large central park would pro- vide, with, conveniently, no mention of the exorbitant price tag. That's exactly what Newport Beach's television commercial campaign will do -provide the other side of the story. It will tell residents just how costly and unrea.li.Stic a central park would be. We don't dispute that the leaders of the South County cities have every right to make their pitch to the public on how El Torp should be redeveloped. Whe re we disagree is when they try to stand in the way when our local leaders try to do the same thing. The anti-airport forces should end this legal charade immediately because their attempts to call the kettle black is laughable. We just don't find it very funny. El Camino housing pr oject should prevail I t would be a shame if a Costa Mesa City Council deasion on Monday puts an end to a housing project that would have replaced tlie rundown El Camino Shopping Center. When the council voted Monday to require that all home lot sizes be a minimum 4,000 square feet and an aver- age 4 ,500 square feet, the pro- ject may have bit the dust. ln March, with no·opposltion present, the council paved the way for Jeff Pratt to build 19 to 29 homes at the site. Monday's decision, however, may have jeopardized that. Pratt, owner of the triangular s hopping center in Mesa Del Mar, said the new guidelines will kill his project. After all, when the council rezoned the shopping center from that of commercial to mediwn-density residential, his homes were to be built on minimum-sized lots of 3,000 square feet with aver· age lots of 3,500 square feet. Pratt told the Plaruililg Com- mJ.ssJon in January that it would be impossible for him to go for· ward with his project lf the conunJssion adopted codes call· lng for 3,500-IQWlre·foot mtn.t- mum and 4,()0()..squ.ate-foot average slzed lob. So, tt recom· mended t.ble CoUndl adopt It.an· dardl rtlqU1rti)O lot sizes of 3,000 ~feet and 3,500 square I•. C~oaWI ~JtOtrin- son suggested those numbers be upped, and Councilwoman Linda Dixon and Councilman Chris Steel followed suit with their approving votes. Not once at that meetiI\g did the council, nor anyone, discuss the El Camino project. That ilf'itself is ashame. However, a day later, Steel learned that the coundl's deci· sion could kill the El Camino project, and he told the Dally Pilot he would ask the council to. rectify its decision to some· how allow the project to contin- ue with pie smaller lot sizes. Surrounding the El Camino Shopping Center are both low- and high-density residential areas. Those neigbbon looked forward to the new project. knowing all too well that the shopping center's days are numbered. Now, they may be stuck with their rundown neighbor, a.s Prlltt says he'll skip town and build his project in a dty that doesn't tum around and approve a dedllOll contta- dlcto.ry to the previous one giv- en him.

Playing to the current public hysteria and fear caused by truly tragic events such as Columbine and Santee and by sensationallz· ing a local incident that was nothing more than a schoolyard shoving match is not only irre- sponsible journalism, iW.s dis· graceful.

Scherer tells residents to be prepared this summer IEING PREPARED , 'Public safety is our primary concern. Like in any emergency, we want them to have flashlights, wireless phon es, batteries. ff on life support, they need to have a plan that includes transportation arrangements. Also, you should tum off everything, but one light bulb in your home so you know when the power is back on.' EVERY LITTLE llT HELPS 1 'Keep the air con~jtioning thermostots down to 7 8 degrees and use ceiling fans. Don't use major appliances during the day. Turn off all computers and printers when not in use. Turn off the light when leaving the room. Use more efficient light bulbs.' W ith rolling bla~~uts a re;aastic threat every day -especially those hot tla:ys -it's logical to believe it's going to be a long summer. But also logi- cal is learning more infor- mation about the power crisis and the rolling t1lack- outs that result. Daily PilQt Assistant Qty Editor James Meler sat down with Southern Cali- fornia Edison region man- ager Kim Scherer to dis- cuss the blackouts, as well as conservation a nd prepa- ration tips. Scherer's region includes Costa Mesa, Newport Beach, Irvine and Tustin. Can you explain exadly what a rolling blackout Is, why It's done and who calls form The California Indepen- dent System Operator calls for rotating outages when the state's electricity reserves fall under 1.5% in real time. They are independent and were set up for deregulation. They monitor how much of a demand there is with the supply of electricity available. It's basic economics, really. And you cannot store energy, which JS a reason the outages are necessary. When there is a significant imbalance between the sup- ply and demand, that's when the Independent System Operator issues the warnings and Stage 1, 2 and 3 emer- gencies. They begin when the reserve power is less than 7% in real time. During a Stage 2, or when the reserves are less than 5%, they call for voluntary inter- ruptions on those at an inter- ruptlole rate. Some residen- tial customers will experience . outages at that point When we get to 1.5% of the system's reserves in real time, the Independent Sys· tem Operator declares a Stage 3 and will try to pro- cure power in any way. The only way to get that power is to go to rotating blackouts. There are different cir· cuits, each of which serves between 800 and 2,000 cus- tomers. The circuits are elec- trical lines that sua>ly power to different areas. 1bey are in groups that make up about 100 megawatts of power. We don't want an entire commu- nity to go dark. We want the least impact on an area. So, the Independent Sys- tem Operator tells us how many people we need to drop. On Monday, the ISO requested 168 megawatts. which ended up being two groupi{lgs of circuits, and induding cities like Newport Beach and Costa Mesa. lf it's a hot summer, that could be worse. lf it's a cool swnmer, it won't be as bad. But there will definitely be more this summer. We are doing some things to help out. We will have the information readily available on our Web site, which is http://www.sce.com. Unfortunately for us is we don't know when it's going to happen. On Wednesday, we " . thought we had to and we were ready, but the ISO pro· cured enough power. We called the public safety agen- cies to warn them. They'd rather have some information than no information. So, all the government agencies are kept up to speed. Are rolling blackouts a new thing and. U not, have they ever been performed outside of Callfornlaf They're not a new thing m that the plan has been in place since the '70s, when we were having energy prob- lems. As far as other states, I don't know. They have brownouts in the East. where they dim the lights by drop- ping the voltage. With everything so auto- mated these days, that's pret- ty difficui t. How long lnto the future should we expect to recelve ~ for rolling blackouts ln Southern Callfornlaf It just really depends. Right now. the government lS trying to procure some more power. Prior to restructunng -it's not deregulation -PG&E, San Diego and Edison were required to sell off at least 50% of the plants and were encouraged to sell off even more. That's caused some of the problems. I. believe we [Edison) gen- eral:e power for 35% to 40% of our cities. Why did Northern CaU- lomla experience waves of blackouts before Southern California? PG&E's system is set up different than ours. Their transmisslon lines have con- gestion. They were short power up in Northern Cali· fomia, and we, in Southern California, couldn't send any up there. San Francisco was one of the first ones lut. What should we do to prepare ourselves for rolling blackoutsf Public safety is our pruna- ry concern. Like in any emer- • MAILBAG g~cy. we want them to have flashlights, wireless phones, batteries. If on life support, they need to have a plan that indudes transportation arrangements. • Also, you should tum off everything, but one light bulb in your home so you know when the power is back on. lf you know there's gomg to be a blackout, you should ayoid using elevators. Of course there arl? going to be blacked out traffic lights. Those are fow--way stops. Some cities are looking at buying backup power for their lights. What advice do you have for r&idents to cooservlng energy to prevent as many blackouts as possible? Conservation. Keep the air conditioning thermostats down to 78 degrees and use ceiling fans. Don't use major appliances during the day. Tum off all computers and printers when not in use. Tum off the light when leav- mg the room. Use more effi- cient hght bulbs. Use com· pact fluorescen ts. Refrigerators older than 10 years old are not efficient. There are rebates that we offer out there. Some pro- grams provide free fridges for low-income families. Pool motors. You can get a $200 rebate for more efficient motors. You can save $40 if GREG FRY I DAILY Pl.OT you run them at rught and not during the day. . Are there any particular places at wblcb black.outs cannot occurf Yes.~ Public Utilities CommlSSion has essential customers like public safety agencies, hospitals, water and sewage systems. If you live next fo a fire stabon. you're well off. There are no guaran- tees, but you're better off Right now, they seem to be ocaurlng ln the late afternoon. More than likely, wtll they start calling for blackouts throughout the day this summer? Could be. But you never know when they'll occur because it's up to the ISO. So, wlfortunately, we can't just forecast them. You can check our Web site or the Califonua Independent System Opera- tor Web site. On our Web site, you can also find those rebates. self audlts. prices, bills, etc. There's also a 15% chscollllt for low-income families who qualify after filling out an application for an alternate rate for energy.

NEWPORT BEACH -As if on cue, the master of tennis disaster, Big Mac himself, picked up bis game a notch Saturday and wiped out Mats Wllander in the second set, 6-4, 6-0. In the final round-robin singles match of the Success Magazine Champions Tour at Newport ~ch Tennis Club, John McEn- ro~. wearing a red bandanna, turned it up like a bandit before an estimated crowd of 1,750. · McEnroe, who won eight . . straight games to close out Wilan~ der in front of a rather subdued matinee audience, will face Pat Cash today in the championship match at 1 p.m., as expected. Under the lights Thursday and Friday, McEnroe defeated area pro Scott Davis and an entertaining Ylinn1ck Noah. But it was a toned 4own McEnroe and a kinder, gen- tler crowd Saturday. •1 think the more subdued crowd bas something to do with how much alcohol is in their body, which is the way it is at most night- , and-day sporting events," McEn- roe said. •And some of it has to do with how entertaining the match is ... it was a different match today. •1 think if you throw all that TENNIS plays on fire.

The bottom line is winning, but I'd prefer energy." McEnroe, who broke Wilan- der's last four serves, including three in the second set, capitalized on every opportunity at the net and even had the chair umpire in bis favor, of all people. After closing out Wilander with back-to-back aces to go up 2-0 in the second .set, the umpire over- ruled Wtlander's initial out call on McEnroe's serve. Following Cash's 6-1, 6-3 victo- ry over Henry Leconte in Satur- day's first match, McEnroe quickly disposed of Wllander after it was 4- 4 in the first set. •It's hard to beat somebody who's playing close to perfection," said Wllander, a seven-time Grand Slam singles champion.

In the sixth, with two outs, he displayed more cool in the clutch when he smashed a bases-dearing dou- ble.

Tran, the top seed, defeated Phyrun Than from El Camino, 11-3, 11-2, in the title match, after besting San Diego Mesa's Katsue Takahashi, 11-5, 11-2. in the semifinals. Tran and Pham earned a 15- 7, 15-1 win over ~kahashi and Rachelle Manzano in the tit.!e match, after eliminating Chris· tine Lee and Diana Chuang from De Anza in one semifinal. Tran, the Orange Empire Conference MVP, will move on to the Boston School of Pharma-cy, according .. to <;>cc Coach Barbara Bond, who guided the Pirates to second 'place in the OEC in the program's inaugµr- al season. .. but the fact remains a couple of seniors lag so far behind that tennis aficiona-· dos wonder why th~y're there. But then there's McEnroe. Yannick Noah is no doubt a great entertainer and excellent tennis player with a huge serve, and Mats Wilan- der carries around seven Grand Slam singles titles on his application, but they're no McEnroe. McEnroe is an atti.st on the court, plain and simple. He's so crafty. And his impromptu outbursts are either timed perfectly or well-rehearsed. While McEnroe's temper tantrums and racket slam- mings are legendary, like him or not, his on-court antics are perfect for the Champions Tour, which needs him much more than he needs it. ~1 think he actually enjoys it," Newport Beach dub pro Scott Davis, who lost to McEnroe Thursday night, said of Big Mac's behavior, which has had people talk- ing for years. "I think he's got it down pat ... I'm not afraid to go to battle agafnst him, but what I don't want to do is get into a non-tennis battle against him.• McEnroe's game, at age 42, is as sound as ever.

That's good news for the tour, which made its initial Newport Beach stop in 1998, a three-day event billed as the Challenge, which was played at Palisades Tennis Club and featured McEnroe, Jimmy Connors and Bjorn Borg. That event drew about 5,000 per session. With Big Mac as the lone headliner th.is time, the crowds were smaller but amazingly consistent --an estimated 1,750 --f<>r Thurs- day night, Friday .Jl.ight and Saturday afternoon. The capacity at Newport Beach Tennis Club is 2,105. Take out McEnroe and you have no event. Is be enough to carry the tour? In Newport Beach, yes. As for our fiiend who asked about the event's entertainment value, Big Mac is well worth it every step of the way. A colleague in the news- room asked me. an interest- ing question Saturday night. "ls McEnroe more entertain- ing on the court or during interviews?" It's a tie. He's great at both. Big Mac can play here any time he wants. "I think it has something to do with alcohol,• Wilander said. "And, if it's a close match, I th.ink the fans get into it. They were supportive in the first set, and they will keep supporting you if you keep it interesting and I couldn't keep it interesting. Tuey got more into the shots (Saturday) than receiving entertaining value.# .- Wtlander, however, said he enjoys playing at a real tenp.is club and "can really feel the crowd. They're knowledge- able tennis fans here.# Jn the case of McEnroe, he hopes to have saved his best for last in the tournament today against Cash, who also went 3-0 in round-robin play. "I'll have to turn it up one more time, tiecause the toughest is yet to come," said McEnroe, 42. "Then again, l expect to play better. # Cash, a dassic serve'-and- volleyer like McEnroe, is fast, fit and six years ,younger than the former Stanford southpaw. #And this court is perfect for (Cash)," McEnroe said. "It works right into his game. It's his best surface.# ~ In doubles Saturday, Cash and Davis defeated Noah and John Lloyd, 6-3, 6-4, to advance to today's champi- onship match, which follows the McEnroe-Cash singles final. Cash and Davis will play Guillermo Vtlas and Leif Shir as.
