The charges COSTA • came after a six- MESA , month investigation by the Orange ~uoty District Attorney's office, stemming from a complaint by resident Michael Sikaradek. The District Attpmey'~ office allegations are that Steel allowed a voter to sign nomination papers for his wife in the 2000 election and that Steel signed a nomina- tion paper "on behalf of a female voter" in the t 998 election, which he lost. The law requires each voter to sign the papers themselves. . Steel who turned himself in Wednesday, pleaded not guilty to both cbllrges. If convicted, the councilman faces a maximum of three years and eight months in pnson and will be forced to give up bis council seat, officials said. -.....,,_Kho cowrs Cost.a Mesa.

Calvary Chapel of Fort Lauderdale, Fl<!., 1s one of the fastest-growing church- es in the country and CaJ- vary Chapel of Albu- querque, is the !Argest in that city. And it all started here, said Dave Rolph, assistant pastor of Calvary Chapel of Costa Mesa. Hippies had something to do with it, he said. In the late 1960s and early '70s, many of them became Chnsbans, bringing in a more contemporary-sound- mg Chnstian music style. Rock bands became Chnst- 1an, Christiani'~ music emerged and people flocked to thdt rare place that wel- comed such a reverent yet trendy form of worship. "There were very few . churches where counter-cul- ture people would feel wel- come, so Calvary Chapel just grew incredibly,• Rolph said. "Then, after a few years, there became a demand in some other a reas for churches and the Cal- vary Chapel-style ministry.· So the little church on Church Street, which began in the 1960s, moved for a short time to the Lutheran Chqrch in Newport Beach. In 1971, the congregation moved into its present facili- ty, part of whicti is in Costa Mesa and part in Santa Ana, Rolph said. While the building was being built on what was vacant property, congregants gathere~ in a tent for about two ye~rs. Today, there are Calvary Chapels run by the method- ology of teaching through the Bible and a ~ontempo rary style of worship in coun- tries such as Brazil, China, England, France, Germany, MeXico and Russia. The music is still 'hip. Some of it is by Love Song, a Christian band credited as the first Ch ristfon band. SeveraJ worship leaders at the church started Man- natha Music, one of the biggest Chnsllan music labels in the business. Chuck Smith, pastor of Calvary Chapel of Costa . Mesa, led the growth. •Most of the songs we .•. sing were wntten by differ-• ent CaJvary Chapel worship leaders,· Rolph scUd. ·we have our own praise bands (and) we have a whole dis- tribution company,,so we sell music and books to bookstores." The chapel even has a network of more than 325 radio stations dround the country. Begun with Srruth's goal to meet the needs of people who couldn't make it to church in the 1970s. local radio appearances evolved into the. purchase of KWVE- evening in Costa Mesa. Chao Zhang, the 34-year- old Costa Mesa driver, plowed mto the vict.un at 9:20 p.m. Friday at Broadway Avenue and Newport Boulevard, police said. Zhang, who was driving dbout 30 mph at the moment of impact, was not cited. The victim, who is in his late 30s or early 40s, was riding westbound on Br0c1dway when he was struck. Pol.tee said he wa~ taken to Western Medical Center, where he was listed in critical condition, Ethics workshop to be held in June Vanguard University President Murray Dempster will lead an eUucs workshop in June at the campus of the Co!>ta Mesa school.

A church, a parish hall, admin- istrative offices and a preschool will be built ,on the two-acre. parcel at the intersection of Bonita Canyon Road and Prame Avenue.

What began as a little church with 25 members on Church Street in Costa Mesa 1s now a 30,000 member congrega- tion with a chapel on the border of Costa MC'Sd a nd Sdnta Ana and thousdnds of branch churches m dlmost every state m th<> nabon and overseas. Calvary Chapel of Fort Lauderdale, Fld ., 1s one of the fastest-growing church- es in the country and Cal- vary Chapel of Albu- querque, is the lArgest in that city. And 1t all started here, said Dave Rolph, assistant pastor of Calvary Chapel of Costd Mesa. . Hippies hag something to do with it. he said. In the late 1960s and early '70s, many of them became Chnsbans, bringing in a more contemporary-sound- tng Chnstian music style. Rock. bo.nds became Chnst- idll, Christian rock music eme.rged and people flocked to that rdfe place that wel- comed such a reverent yet trendy form of worship. "There were very few churches where counter.cul- ture people would feel wel- come. so Calvary Chapel just grew incredibly,• Rolph said. "Then, after a few years, there became a demand in some other a reas for churches and the Cal- vary Chapel-style ministry.• So the little church on Church Street, which began in the 1960s, moved for a short time to the Lutheran Church in Newport Beach. In 1971, the congregation moved into its present facili- ty, part of which is in Costa Mesa and part in San~ Ana. Rolph said. While the building was being built on what was vacant property, congregants gathered in a tent for about two years. Today. there are Calvary Chapels run by the method· ology of teaching through the Bible and a contempo· rary style of woIShip in coun- bies such as Brazil. China, England, France, Germany, Mexico and Russia. · The music is still hip. Some of it is bY. Love Song, a Christian band creilited dS the first Christian band. Several worship leaders at the church stdrted Man- natha Music, one of the biggest Christlan music labels in the busll)ess. Chuck Sr;ruth, pastor of Calvary Chapel of Costa Mesa, led the growth. "Most of the songs we sing were written by differ- ent Calvary Chapel worship leaders.· Rolph sdld. ·we have our own praise bands .(and) we have a whole dis- tribution company, so we sell-music and books to bookstores.· The chapel even has a network of more thdJl 325 radio stations around the country.

Zhang, who was driving abo~t 30 mph at the moment of impact, was not cited. The victim, who is in his late 30s or early 40s, was nding westbound on Broadway when he was struck.

A bad signature here, a question- able one there. So what, right? Costa Mesa Councilman Chris Steel received the most votes of any City Council candi- date in November, and any- thing that would deprive the electorate of its man in office is mere political trickery, right? Well, we're not so sure. We must admit we were sur- prised that Steel's alleged mis- doing onjli.s City Council nomi- nation papers turned into full. fledged felony filings by the Orange County district attorney. And we certainly are not ready to say his alleged crimes rise to the point that he should be stripped of his seat in office. That's a matter for the courts. But we have two words for those who say he should not be prosecuted at all: the law. To those who are ~g foul, , we say it's too ~· to question the law after the fact. Sure, we know many of you aren't lying asleep at night wor- rying about whether or not someone is doctoring nomina- tion papers. We're not.either. There are much more serious crimes and problems to fret about. But the law is the law. And the law needs to have teeth. And the law in this case says ~t faced with the penalty of perjury, candidates for public office should only sign a legal election document that they know contains valid infonnation. H Steel broke the law, he suddenly can't be above it, even if he happens to be a popular councilman. Steel • himself, we believe, would acknowledge that. · .. Additionally, as his support- ers contend, measuring whether he "intended" to break the law is irrelevant. H someone runs a red light and tragically crashes into another car and injures some- one, he or she will face the full brunt of the law. Obviously, it was not his or her intent to hurt someone, but the law calls for reckless actions to be dealt with anyway. The law is there for a reason. And unless we are all ready to decide that the law doesn't need to exist, we need and expect authorities to enforce it. ~ fact. Steel 0JP0cls. that too, · That's been a hallmark of his multiple candidacies and now his tenure in office, that existing laws need to be ertforced to better stem the. tide of illegal immigration. So we urge all t.O let this dra- ma play out before casting judgment. Chris Steel will get his day in court and be able to make his case. And one way or another, justice will be done. That's just the law. Mr. Rodman, please don't abuse the system T here aren't too many people who would have the gall to have a helicopter drop them off at their beacbfront home to make a dramatic entrance at their 40th birthday party. Some might want to do it and some might have the capability to do it, but few would actually do it. Enter Dennis Rodman. He did it. Here's a man who made his NBA career p'ulling down rebounds better than anyone in the game, but still shocking people off and on the court. This is a man who, despite countless fines each totaling thousands of dollars, constantly showed up late to practices and games. It comes as no surprise then that Rodman would pay no heed to Newport Beach's ordi- nances. He throws parties that attract people from miles around. people who more than likely just want to hang out wtth the infamous Wonn. Those bashes often get noisy at Umes of the night and moming when most folk 1Jeep. ally while playing basketball. Fine him all you want, but he probably takes those into con- sideration when tallying the costs of his soirees. Now, the City Council will consider updating the noise ordinance to give it more clout in dealing with the aftermath of c Rod.man's parties and other siJn· ilar parties throughout the city. It turns out the police can ask the district attorney's office to file charges all they want, but , unlike Rod.man's tattoos, they just won't stick. not with the city's weak noise ordinance. Amending the noise ordt· nance to better pTOSeCUte Rod- man and othen like him might provide enough teeth to actual· ly send off enders to prilon for up to six months, they aay. While that tbJeat may eDtt, we're not sure it is enough to scare the former Chk:ago Bull and LA.

T be uniform code that Costa Mesa imposes on minimum lot size is reminiscent of the code that Procrustes, the mythical robber, imposed on his victims: The victim was made to lie on Procrustes's bed. If the vic· tim was too short, he was .. stn!tched on a rack unW he fit the bed If the victim was too long, well, the excess length was deleted. It's not that a given residential lot size requirement is either rea- sonable or not reasonable. It's that, no matter what it is, it can- not possibly fit every situation. For example, the developer of ~e old El Camino shopping cen- ter site says his residential pro- ject will only work at the former higher density, not the new lower density of the new medi- um-density standard (•New stan- dards may block home project,• May 9). The neighbors support the developer, regardless of the standards. There are, of coune, good arguments for uniformity in cod.es. The arguments needn't be repeated here. Rather, maybe it's time to revisit the arguments in favor of zoning that is not uniform. Pint. Costa Mesa is not a uni- form dty. New Town -centered on South Coast Metro -ii much Tom Egon SOUNDING BOARD different from Old Town -cen- tered on 'Dia.ngle Square. East- side is different from Westside. And then there is the matter of the character of the city as a whole. While there are a significant number of Costa Mesans who prefer the predictability of uni- form standards, there are per- haps more who enjoy variety and nonconformity, and relish that we are not Irvine in the uniformity department Second, driving around town, we can see that we have nonuni- formity in practice, even with uniform development standards, bec:ause older properties exist which have been grandfathered into what is called •tegaJ non- conforming• status. · Third, rigidly applying the Of/W~ standards to the older areas that were developed under different Jtandards imposes con- straints on 1nfW development and redevelopment of the older areas.

In fact, there are myriad approaches. Some dties take the approach just opposite to city- wide unifprm zoning1 they let neighborhoods make zoning decisions for themselves. For example, St. .Paul, Minn., bas 17 resident-elected District Councils that have jurisdiction over zoning. Other dty governments stop short of devolving that much power. Dayton, Ohio, and Port- land, Ore., governments give their neighborhood associations significant influence over neigb- ~rhood-oriented planning deci- sions, but retain final say. Another approach is to have an tarray of standards from which neighborhoods could select the m«ft applicable-for a given situa- tion, then recommend it to the Qty Council for adoption. Thus, there is precedent for Costa Mesa to let its codes fit the neighborhood, rather than fitting the neighborhood to the codes. Given the •don't tread on me" attitude of most Costa Mesans, maybe it's time to consider giving Procrustes the boot and • adopting a fine.tuned approach. • TOM IGAN Is a Westside resident.

Pettit, president of the Balboa Performing Arts Theater Foundation,islookingforwardto watching the "bulldozer ballet" that will help transform the 1927 building into a performing arts cen- ter capable of seating 350 people. It has been a labor of love for Pettit, a community activist who helped to toim the Balboa Mer- chants an~ers Assn. She sat down wfth~eatures Editor Jennifer K Mahal to talk about.the theater, its progre~ and why the project h.as been worth so much of her time. What made you commit so much time and so many resources to the Balboa Tbeaterf I've lived in this community for 26 years, and I've alwa'ys believed that you need to give back to your com- munity, espedally when you live in a paradise like we do. And I've watched the demise of our little town of Balboa for some time with the advent of the shopping centers. All little towns went through this. We used to have kind of a bustling little town with a big department store - Donaldson's department store and hardware store -and things have changed, and you have shopping centers and people start going there because they can get several things done at one time and parking and all o( those things. I came downtown 10 years ago and started an association to see if we couldn't, maybe, start turning our lit- tle town around and get some of the people who work down here involved. We started out, we really were on a pretty good momentum, and then the Oty Council decided they were going to do another major study of the downtown, probably the fowth or fifth ... and it just stopped everything that we were doing for a couple of years while they were going to get this major redevelop- ment going. Well that didn't go any- where. So we just kept plodding along, and seven years ago my neighbor came to me early one morning and said "Dayna, we just have to save this theater. It's for sale. If the theater goes, it's just going to be another t- shirt shop and that's just going to completely destroy the downtown area.· So, I said, "Ron, I don't have any time.· And he said, "Oh, you've just got to do this. It isn't going to take any time.• Seven years ago, March. So, we made an offer to purchase the theater and that didn't work out. But it did put John Wortmann, who bought it, in touch. He called me and we got aCC{Uainted and he said that he would be willing to rent it to us. So we worked on a lease for six, eight months. Then he decided to ~ it to us. So we entered into escrow with. him for a year, and during that period of time, we lobbied the city heavily to see if we couldn't get them involved because it's their downtown area as well. So we got the city to pur- chase the building in l998 and from that point we Just kept going fotward. It's just picked up all lunds of momentum. My initial goal is to try to turn this little town around and 1 felt that by doing it Wlth the theater, you're intro- ducing a really fine flavor into an area that attracts all kinds of wonder- ful ·people who love theater. Rich and poor alike, 1t doesn't matter . Are you worrled at all about the parking and the traffld No. No, I'm not. Traffic and park- ing, there's always been parking and traffic problems in this area. That's ·just the nature of the beast. We're in a little small area here between Beach and Bay and we have a large parking lot on the ocean front that is going to be enhanced and restriped to accommodate some more parking. When people come down to the the- ater, there are 350 seats. You're not going to have 350 car.; coming down. And people can park in the ocean front lot and walk to the downtown. What do you think the Balboa Theater wUJ offer this communltyf It will bring a richness that is needed in Newport Beach. We don't have a lot of art f8cilities. The (Orang~ County) Perlotming Arts Center is wonderful. but it isn't right here within our own city. And they have the little theater on the bill that's just under a hundred people. So, we felt that we could compliment these other things that are available, add something to Newport Beach that would give everyone a flavor of what we are. We're going to be not only cinema, but also live theater and other things. What would you like to see · perfo~ on the stagef ··rm an opera {an, so I'd love to see an opera. It couldn't be ·Aida,• that's for sure. Maybe an operetta or a musical, A smaller version of "West Side Story.• I'd love to· see "Riverdance" there. We're going to ~and get them sometime. Why not Elton John when we open, 'cause that would be a great big splash. Sarah Brightnipn. I tl)ink she's wonderful. Gosh, I mean there's just so many wonderful things. that I would like to see if we can get them. That's the question. What's your favorite memory of the Balboa Theater before It dosedf I've seen "Gone with the Wind." I've seen a lot of other classics with Hwnphrey Bogart. Evelyn Hart and J went to "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" after the chief of police said it was going to be outlawed in town if they didn't clean up the act. So we thought, let's go see it was. It was just a stitch. We both thought it was hys- terical and .what was the big to-do about it. We hope to bring that back for a performance one night. Wouldn't it be fun U we could get Susan Saran- don, who really, initially filmed it. But, yes, we thought we would do that one night We would have "The Rocky Hom>r Picture Show• for those people who were great followers of that cult. It was a fun thing to do. ~ /'.Joy 20. 2001 11 ·Don't make a mistake on 17th Street I have grave oonoerm about the prospect ol widening 17th Street to six lanes. There are five registered voters at our house, and we all are of one mind OD this aitical issue that the aty Council is about to decide on Monday. We've been following the plan and are get- ~.wor-unERTO THE EDITOR Letme say up front that we do have a business interest in this matter -the Yoga Center of California at 445 E. 17th St - but it doesn't look-like our build- ing will be much affected by the p1a.n. Our real concern is that of dti2eDs who shop 17th Street most days and who want to see our community Oavor preserved. Here's what we'd like to see: Bus twnouts. This is a good idea with minimal impact on property owners, parking or sidewalks. They should make a big difference in traffic now. Four lanes from Orange Avenue to Dover Drive. 11lis preserves the look and utility of 17th Street and prevents the "funnel effect" of going from six to four lanes in a short span. We would hate to see: Six lanes. Take a look at Harbor Boulevard north of 19th Street for an idea of how this would look. ls this what we want for 17th Street? Center medians. These would have a terrible effect on access to 17th Street businesses. We understand the reasoning for this expensive element of the plan is to provide a place for jaywalkers to stand when crossing the street illegally. Give me ·a break. Part of the reasoning for these plan elements is to provide safer driving conditions along 17th Street. The thought is that restricting how and where peo- pl~ have access to businesses will prevent problems (bke ~ driving down the center turn lane rather than stopping there until it's we to merge). But·can ypu ii:Dagine a Chevy Suburban trying to lhaKe a U-turn around a median to get to a business whose access was cut off? Or, worse yet. a delivery truck? Give us the center tum lane any day. Of course, everyone wants to prevent acd.dents, but wouldn't it be more cost effective to actu- ally enforce tra16c rules, dting jaywalkers and reckless drivers? I bet that a year of vigilance by our police would change many bad driving and bike riding habits, despite the walling and gnashing of teeth over having te pay traffic fines. And I bet most of the citations would go to out- of-town drivers anyway, since most residents are experienced navigators of 17th Street. We understand that the city may be losing federal funding if we don't adhere to some decades-Old transportation plan. We say, so be il 1bere is more at stake here than mmey or traffic flow issues for other communities. It's time to put aside the , rhetoric about providing a favor- able business climate and walk the walk by not inflictmg this disaster on our neighborhood merchants.

Allen, who had already competed in the 800 and 1,600, won the Division m tiUe in the 3,200 (10:,3.28), but couldn't keep up with Steen.

Tony Altobelli DAILY PILOT NORWALK -Newport Harbor High boys track and field standout Chris McMillen prepared for the CIP Southern Section Division .n 1,600-meter finals and all of a sudden, it became a hurdles event. Less than a 100 yards ~to the race, Paso Robles runner Joel Martinez attempted to sneak through a wall of runners and cut right in front of McMillen. His leg hit McMillen's leg and sent the Martinez on a one-way trip to the Cerritos College track, causing some serious track rash. ·1 nearly stepped on him with my spikes,• McMillen described afterward. "He tried to take it outside and he cut right in front of me. I felt bad and want- ed to make sure he was all right." The ·race was stopped and restarted. McMillen regained his focus and man- aged to finish second with a 4:15.76, shattering his previous personal best by nearly eight seconds.
