Noakl Schwartz DAILY PILOT NEWPORT BEACH -In the early 1970s, when sculptor Frederick Hart lived in a garage with nothing to keep him warm but two German shepherds, it may have been hard to imagine that his work would become a prime target for art thieves three decades later. temptation for thieves has increased because the work can gamer anywhere from $3,000 to $500,000 each.

"In Vail, Colorado, someone shoplifted three Hart sculptures from a gallery.• Laguna Beach, with its numerous galleries, has proved to be good hunting ground for thieves, who have stolen any- where from three to nearly a half-dozen pieces from various collections, said Mark Hamlett, director of the Richard Thomas Gallery in Laguna. The Lahaina Gallery in Fash- ion Island has already had eight pieces stolen, losing on average about one a year. And accord- ing to local gallery owners, since Hart's death last year, the Ha.rt's work, with its soft light-catching quality, is partjc- ularly popular among buyers on the West Coast and Hawaii.

I remember saying something like, "Yes, I do think God smiles, honey. I know your smile makes me happy, and I'm sure it makes God happy, too.· I notice smiles. I love smiles, I love smil- ing, and something caught my attention at . Ralphs supermarket last week that made me stop in my tracks and smile and remember those conversations from years ago with our girls. I was in the cereal aisle, somewhere between the granola and the Wheaties, when I noticed a yellow stic~ note wadded up in the com er of the cart. For some reason I was curious to see what the mystery person who used the cart last had on his or her shopping list. So 1 reached down, picked it up and unfolded it.

Mission statement We are a Christ-centered, loVing, multi- generational church family, committed to equipping peo- ple to minister in their world. The mission is based on five core values: 1) We all need God; 2) Every person needs to love and be loved; 3) We share our resources to reach all ages; 4) Every person is called to minister; 5) We can each bring someone to Christ. Dress: Come as you are. Peo- ple wear everything from shorts to suits. Church design: The sanctuary is warm, simple and attractive. It doesn't call attention to itself. Interesting note: According to Bradford, people frequently remark that the church is a "life-giving place" where they sense God's presence and see that people care for eecb other. I I I I I I I I I I • I I I -c.ompu.d by : Michele M. Marr l I I like cheese. eggs and napkins. Tilere also was a word that had been crossed out that looked like "smiles.• Maybe it originally said s'mores and the person wrote it as a reminder to buy chocolate, graham crack- ers and marshmallows but decided against it. Whatever the word was, I liked the idea of writing "smiles" on my grocery list cm days when I feel in need of them. -I L--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------~ Smiles are like boomerangs and often come back to me if I send them out iQ the first place. I did just that the same day as I turned into the bread and bagel aisle. As I rounded the comer, I bad a mild bump-in with an energetic little boy who was power-pushing his little shopping cart. He looked stlrprised, but then he sur- prised me by apologizing even before I had a chance to. Behind him was a weary- looking mother with a baby in her cart, and I could see she was trying to catch up with her son. I smiled at her and said, "Looks like you have an eager helper there. I want to compliment you, and him. He apologized even before I did, and not every little boy or girl would do that. Keep up the good work, it's working.• She smiled, looked up at me and said, •Thanks for that reminder.• As she round- ed the comer I could hear her telling her son how proud she was of him. Maybe it would be a good idea to occa- sionally stick little reminders to smile on our steering wheels and shopping carts. And the next timJ yoU'run to the ola.ritet to pick up some groceries, see if you can't share a smile in the alsle, as well. And you can quote me on that. • c:.>Y TllAllm OtlUSlUON is a Newport 8eadl resident who speaks frequently to parenting groups.

The answer, for many locals, ~•yes: The subject ca.me up again when a local contro- versy developed at the same time the U.S. Supreme Cowt w.as ordering God out of public schools across the ·land. School board member Wendy Leece was fighting for the inclusion of some- thing called "intelligent design~ in the mix of origin- of-life theories taught to our kids when the court ruling broke. For those of you old enough to remember having to run to the drugstore to test a TV tube, "intelligent design• is the new name for "creationism: Oh, there's little bit of a clever twist, but it still involves God's hand i'.n making us. God seems to scare the heck out of marty people in public education and gov- emment. In announcing its decision, the Supreme Cowt affirmed Jhe principle of separation of church and state, which, if can:ied to its logical conclusion, would force the complete redesign and reminting of all U.S. currency to remove the slo- gan, "In God We Trust,• and it would end the daily invo- cation at the start of each day of busi.riess in the U.S. Congress. God scares many people in power, even more than teen sex, teen pregnancy, teen abortion or any or a number of modern sadness. For it stands to reason that if we were truly concerned about these other problems we'd be doing a lot more to correct them, but we are -not. The numbers, while having declined slightly in the last few years, are still a tragedy. Yet we bury our heads in the sand or even supp0rt this improper behavior while we repel at even the slightest mention 32az. NATROL Steve Smith WHAT'S UP? of God in school. Posting the Ten Commandments in the classroom is not allowed in most public sc~ools but many of those same schools offer counseling for ~irth control and pregnancy. Part of what repels those in power against God in the classroom is the perception that all those of faith have big hair and an 800 number. Unfortunately, the Jim Bakkers and Jimmy Swag- ~arts still lurk among us, but the truth is that those behind religion in this coun- try are invisible, anony- mous. They are the people who cut your hair, repair your car and sweep your streets. They observe the Sabbath on Saturday or Sunday, obey God's laws and keep to themselves. They have no more desire to force their beliefs on other5 than they would want to have otbers force their beliefs on them. Which bririgs us to the public school and voucher conundrum. For mahy .... 1~1sJJ!e ptiblic school sys- tem has not been the artswer to their prayers. It's not just the exclusion of God, it is the failure of another public system to effectively administrate that with which they're charged. ln the case of Costa Mesa's West Side schools, for exam- ple, there are dismal test scores.. which have not been properly addressed. · But more than the exclu- sion of God, more than the low West Side test scores, there is a belief that things aren't going to get any bet- ter ~d that having a hand in where we send our chil- dren to school is one way to take back control over some portion of our lives. And it does not help the public school system tha t vague feelings of discontent with much of an unresponsive government-not only with the public school system- will drive some voters to support a voucher initiative. I will wote in favor of vouchers in Nove)xiber but Cay and I have no plans to remove our kids from the pu~lic school they attend. They are getting a good education there and we like the idea of having them attend a school to which they can ride their bikes, if they ever get up early enough. My own vote is not meant to send a message any- where, nor is the passage of a voucher program likely to bring a fialt to the public .

Gray Davis, city's lobbying effort. Alex Coolman DAILY PILOT If Gov. Gray Davis approves the state budget package in the weeks ahead, Newport Beach is hoping its lobbying effort will rescue a $13-million funding package that was ' lost to bureaucratic wran- gling. At this point, said Deputy City Manager Dave Kitt, the city's hopes lie in the possi- bility that Davis will exercise his authority to cut some programs funded by the pro- posed budget, thereby free- ing up money for Newport. The lost money, which would have funded an extensive Back Bay dredg- ing project to be started next year, was promised to New- port Beach under recently passed Proposition 12. Under the proposed bud- get, however, all the money available from that source has already been spent - without any of it allocated for dredgmg. Newport Beach sent a let- ter earlier this week to Davis' office, asserting its right to . the missing money and requesting that he "lim- it the appropriation" to other projects. "We're all kind of fighting for the same pie," Kiff explained. "What we hear informally is that we're prob- ably going to be OK. The folks who are supposed to recommend the policies to the governor are indeed rec- ommending some of these How do you lose $13 million? See today's editorial, Page A19. line-item vetoes, but we just won't know until the gover- nor actually signs the bud· get.• Kiff stressed, however, that the recovery of the mon- ey is far from certain. "I would urge folks who are concerned to let the gov- ernor know their concerns,• he said. Steve Hom, deputy exec- utive officer for the Califor- nia Coastal Conservancy, -the. group that would theo- retically administer the funds if they were restored, said he bas beard from both Newport's lobbyist and the state Department of Fish and Game in connection with the fisc;al snafu. •There is an awareness on our part as a consequence of the expression of con- cern," be said, •and I believe there's an awareness of that potential problem in the governor's office.• Hom, like Kiff, stressed that the budget was not yet set in stone. •This is a priority for the state," he said. •we would like to see a sufficient amount -whether that's $13 million or some other number -to enable the pro- ject to continue.• COSTA MESA -Ke\rin Meng chok ed on ,bis words as he recalled the people who most inOuenced his life and made him the person he is today -1999 Police Officer of the Year. ·aee, how can I arrest any- body?"

Award recipients were nominated by their co-workers and heralded by family members, w ho packed into the hotel's conference room. The day was a chance to hon-· or the individuals behind the badge and those close to them, '' said Costa Mesa City Manager Allan Roeder. Reserve officer Edmond Zuorski, who joined the depart- ment in 1972, received recogni- tion f.br his cont;inued involve- ment with the police force. He is still investigating two unsolved homicide cases. Costa Mesa firefighters made Jeff Janzen their man of the year. Janzeq became deeply involved with community pro- jects, including Chrisbnas bas- kets for the elderly, school sup- plies for children in need and raising money for bum victims. But awards also went to peo- ple without a badge. Jeanie Craig and Edward Markley were bolfi given the Volunteer of the Year Award for their more than 3,000 combined hours contributed to the police substation.

DAYS43-44 Kelly (a friend from home) and I were biking to Kennedy Meadows together while the rest of the group went ahead. I didn't have my guide and we got a bit off track. In the end, we got to the road that would take us lo a general store. But we didn't feel like walking, so we hitched a ride. I really enjoy hitch- hiking. At th~tore, I resupplied for the beststretch. We Mve 10 days · before we get to our next big stop, the Vermilion Valley ret0rt, so we need lots and lots of food. I hope to go through all of ~ut not too fast. Sunday was a day. We did- n't do much but eat all day Jong. Kelly said som~thing about bow we eat constantly.\. DAY45 It was a long day out of Kennedy Meadows. We started at 6,100 feet and topped out at 10,500 feet. The thing is, we would climb and then descend, and then have to make up what we lost. On top of that, my pack weighed the most since the begin- ning ol the trip: I'd guess around 45 pounds. Heavy. I must eat the food. We camped by a small creek and the mOlqU,i- toes were horrible. It's been great hav- ing Kelly around. We've bad a blast and were able to talk about what to do when I get back. He's added a jok- er personality to the group. DAY47 Kelly left today after hlking with us for five days. It was hard to see him go. We were having such a great time. Hopefully, we'll see him out here again. He was my link to (my wife) Alisa.

D...tte Goulet DAlt.Y PILOT COSTA MESA -Just one day before school let out for the sum- mer. another Newport-Mesa school was the scene of a traffic accident. This time, a fifth-grade boy was injured. As the 11 -year-old was riding his bike to school just before 8 a .m . Wednesday, he was struck by a car exiting Costa Mesa High School. The boy, who the Daily Pilot has declined to identify, suf- fered a fractured left elbow and some scrapes ~d bruises on his shoulder, but was otherwise unharmed, said Sgt. Don Hol- ford of the Costa Mesa Police Department. He was taken to Western Med- ical Center, but has since been released, said Cheryl Galloway, principal at Davis Education Cen- ter, where the boy attends school. The boy was riding on the wrong side of Arlington Road, Hollord said, when a motorist came out of a driveway and looked to the left before begin- ning bis right-band turn. The 11-year-old, coming from the driver's right, was crossing in front of the car when be began that turn. The vehicle struck the bike, knocking the boy off. Police said it was a low-impact collision, and that the boy was wearing a hel- met. No charges will be brought against the driver, police said Fri- day. •The hehnet prevented what potentially could have been more- serious injuries,• Holford said. Police said the accident should serve as a reminder to bicyclists to wear helmets and to travel in the same direction as traffic. "We're constantly trying to tell students how important it is to not only to wear their hel- mets, but to strap them on,• Galloway said. DAY48 her lots and think about her every day. I can't wait to see her in Tahoe and hike with her. One ·thing we learned was to not sleep on a pass. It was windy all night long. We finally reached a point in the Sierras where the views are incred- ible and the water plentiful. The only problem: mosquitoes. At camp, they're so bad that we were in our tents by 6:30 p .m. We should've gotten water and' moved on a few miles. I hate ~e damn things. OBITUARY Christine Ahlgren Peck Local resident Christine Ahlgren Peck died June 20 after a battle with cancer. She was 56. Friends say Ms. Peck will be remembered for her enthusiasm, generous spirit and unique sense of humor. Her career as a medical administrator in the Newport and Huntington Beach areas spanned 25 years, during which she shared her gift to motivate and encourage those who worked for and with her. Despite reoccurring bouts with cancer, Ms. Peck refused to slow . down and, in fact, had an even greater zeal for living life to the fullest and inspiring those around her, friends say. During a visit to the Hoag Cancer Center, she noticed people having difficulty accessing the entrance to the building because or the land- scaping and parking design. Ms. Peck wrote a letter to Hoag's admin- Alisa ii in my thoughts constant- ly. I can't wait to .ee her in a few weeks. DAY5J We croaed three riven today, one at 6 a.m. Boy, wu lt cold.

I'm amazed to see bow far we've come. istrator, addressing her concern for patients negotiating their • •cross- country route" to the center's - entrance. Soon thereafter, she received notification that a walkway would be built because of her letter. Ms. Peck touched the lives of those who knew and loved her as well as those who appreciated her behind-the-scenes acts of kindness. She was awarded the Susan G. Komen Most Inspirational Survivor Award in 1998 in recognition of her ability to raise the spirits and morale of cancer survivors, and their friends and families. Ms. Peck is survived by her daughter, Heather Peck of Newport Beach; her brother, Hugh Coughlln of Mill Valley, and her mother, Olga Finnell of Spokane, Wash.

For even though the list of summer activities (times three) leaves me breathless and penniless, the mood that accompanies sum- mer is priceless. #Summer al ternoon, summer afternoon; to me those have always been end of August, we will (hopefully) proclaim another summer successfully com- pleted, new memories intact and a few more colorful threads woven into our tapestries that are becoming so handsome with time. a little bigger and a little more multidi.mensional. I will try to write columns, though the thought of sitting at my desk for any amount of time the two most beautiful words in the English language." Maybe it's the nostalgic air we create as we leave a school year behind. We enter summer in a reflective spirit, looking back on an academic year of peaks and valleys, teachers who have been both sadists and angels, friendships formed and older friendships deepened. Ath- letic seasons begun, enjoyed, endured and ended. Each school year, at least for me, creates a mood all of its own. Doors opened, oth- ers dosed. The tapestry of the children's lives becomes more fascinating and com- plex as the years accumu- Karen Wrght NO PLACE UKE HOME late, and soon they appear to be very compelling peo- ple in their own right -not just out of familial associa· tion but out of their individ· ual preferences. I find my children are more interested and interesting by the day. I have enjoyed their teachers on a multitude of levels. They share a part of my children's ~ves that I only hear about (some- times). I suspect they see the best and worst that my children have to offer. I thank them for tolerat- in!l, teaching and giving my children breadth and depth that they didn't possess nine months ago: for deepening their understanding of the world around them, for giv- ing them a fresh perspective, for exposing them to a big- ger world and helping them to navigate through the uncertainties.and growing pains that childhood brings. Each summer itself takes on a personality-all its own. Summer memories just flood back with the smell of sun- screen, the aroma of citronella candles lit on a summer evening, barbecues smolder- ing and earthy, fresh tomatoes plucked from the garden.

Romeo and Juliet." A fter nearly a decade's absence, audiences will catch a glimpse of history when the Bolshoi Ballet makes its debut next week at the Orange County Perfonning Arts Center. Even though the Bolshoi is no strangfr to Southern California, this lou. marks the 10-year a nniversary of its last national tour of the UnHed States. The company's performance at the cente r ls the last stop on a five-city lour, which began as a sold-out nm at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Perform- ing Arts, then to Chicago, Seattle and the Dorothy Chandler Pa~ lion in Los Angeles. The Bolshoi's 224-year-old theater in Moscow is undergoing restoration. Throughout the last two centuries, the theater has swvived the czars, two world wars, the Stolypin era, Stalin, and the rise and fall of commu- nism and Stolichnaya Vodka. In this century alone, a lot has changed for the company. For- merly guided by re¢mented government standards, the Bol· shoi is now running itself but - producing equally as challeng- ing works. Their latest tour will not only help support the newly indepen- dent company but Will give audi- ences a closer look at the direc- tion in which the company's development is going, said David Eden, the Bolshoi's tour producer, who coordinated the tour with the Kennedy Center. Under the direction of theater director Vladimir Vasiliev and company director Alexei Fadeyechev, the company has taken a more modem tum but still performs classic ballets. • For the tour, the company chose two extravagant pieces: Leonid Lavrosky's •Romeo and Juliet" and Marius Petipa's "Don Quixote,• the latter being in the company's repertoire for more than 100 years. Choreographed by Fadeyechev, the ballets rely on many cultural influences, Eden said. Based on the Cervantes novel and written for ballet in 1869, ~ ·Don Quixote• is a classic work that illustrates the company's ability to adopt a world dance style and make that style its 'own; it has become known as the •bravura Soviet style.• However grandiose, Lavrosky's 1940 production of •Romeo and Juliet" is considered a landmark production by many. With more than 100 dancers on stage on point, Eden said the epic production can be compared to a D.W. Griffith film set. The ballets, which feature the company's current prima balleri- na, Nina Ananiashivili, are syn- onymous with Bolshoi style, Eden said.

Most people are bound by either convention or perhaps the fear of searching for their .inner voice and letting it soar. Thi.I past week, one of our mOlt colorlul citizens did just that. Jullte Argyros, wife, mother, philanthropist and fly-fisher, joined opera singer Frederica von Stade and entertainer Carol Bur- nett on stage at the Orange County Perfotming Arts Center as the Wllllam Hall ~aster Chorale presented •aroadway Meets the Met.• Wearing a Nolan Miller gown of crimson fabric accented by diamonds, dia· monds and more diamonds, Argyros strutted the boards of Segerstrom Hall doing a rendition of •Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend.• The petite blond was swooshed onto the stage in the arms of male chorus boys and deposited front and center. She moved with confidence and delivered her number. Most irnpor· tantly, Judie loved the moment and the audience shared the experience with her. It takes guts to perform, and even more to perform in a venue the size of Segerstrom Hall.

Argyros rel- ished in the music, finding her own voice, her own style, borrowing from the Monroe image and yes, experiencing a sha ky moment or two, and then rising to the occasion.

It all started last year when local resi- dents were lured into voting for Propo- sition 12. U approved, officials promised, the measure would unlock $2.1 billion for parks and coastal pro- jects up and down California. Highly publicized locally was the $13 million that was supposed to be tunneled here to help with a major and muCh-needed Back Bay dredging effort. We took the bait and Proposition 12 passed overwhelmingly in March. Now, instead of that money going Why look to poison for pest problems? It never ceases to amaze me how we abuse our dominion over the animals (•Squirrel poisoning raiBes concerns,· June 14). I was employed at Grand Canyon National Park during the infamous shooting of burros from the air. These creatures were brought into the canyon to help the miners1 then, to show their grati- tude, they were abandoned there, left to encroach on the other natur- e! animals' food sources. AsJ>ark servtce workers watched the bighorn sheep disap- -.pear, they decided to poison the burros, whlch did not work. So they started shooting them.

This ecological sanctuary for endangered birds and other wildlife is too important, too frag- ile to be held hostage in this political tug of war. To state officials -particularly Gov. Gray Davis, who may have the power to right this wrong -the people of Newport-Mesa have one thing to say: Keep the promise you made to voters last March.

The council has finally addressed the problem and real- ized that these developments will destroy the quality of life and home values in our still-ciuimifng neighborhood. Tom Egan is too generous to City Hall in his letter about Costa Mesa's budget process (•Mailbag,• June 8). Yes, the time for public comment is far top short. But the public also doesn't get to comment -on mosfOftfieoudgel iCems. People who understand that dominion over the animals stepped in to save the burros. The shooting stopped, fhe airlifting began and to this day, you can see adopted bur- ros all over Arizona. Folks living near and visiting Inspiration Point in Corona del Mar better take cover. Yes, I know the city's general services director said that shooting won't happen, but what choice do we have? We cannot have the natural proeess of erosion from wind and rain affect our enjoyment of Inspi- ration Point Maybe we can figure a way to have dominion over the W1od and rain -poison it, shoot it? I watch Newport Beach try to figure out what that smell in the bay is. I read about Huntington Beach trying to figure out why no one can swim at the beaches. Now, I bear about camouflaged poison being laid out •tor years• in a place where wind and rain wash the soil toward the pedestrian TAYA ICASHU8A/ OAllY PLOT A squirrel at Inspiration Point ln Corona del Mar.

Newport Beach, have you beard of nontoxic and cruelty-free animal traps? Yes, they might cost more money then a trip to Home Depot and might use more manpower, but at least you won't have to air- lift. Just trap those earth-destroying · creatures and relocate them. Could be an ongoing, slow process; but it beats an ongoing, slow, painful death (for them and us) led by the poison that •you or r could buy at Home Depot. Or, here is an idea: We could just skip the middleman (in this case middle squirrel) and sprinkle the poison directly on our paths, beaches and water. CHRISTIE WOOD Balboa Look elsewhere for cookie-cutter ho~es I wish to voice my support for· the Costa Mesa City Council deci- sion to enact a 45-day moratorium on the building of multifamily resi- dences.

The developers have no long-term interest in our neighborhoods because most of them do not have to live here. Their only interests are in building and selling homes. I am not against people making a profit, but this profit leaves the residents with an unfair burden, diminished quality of life and decreased home values. The fees and taxes collected do not neutralize the long-term costs to residents and city services. I am not against people who choose newer, smaller homes with no yards. If people choose this style of living, I encourage them to look in some of the other areas of Orange County where this style is ·compatible, harmonious and in City officials produces a line- item budget that lists every.pro- posed expenditure for the coming year. They are required by law to do so, and no doubt this is what ' the council uses to determine ill approval. But the public never sees this budget. Interested citizens are handed a thin, glossy booklet -little more than a pamphlet really -with broad, general categories for expenditures and a lot of self..con-. gratulatory platitudes. The real budget is kept secret, locked behind dosed doors. Maybe if the public really had a chance to get mvolved with the budget process and had some input as to what was done without taxpayer dollars, City Hall might be able to do something construc- tive for once. Instead, it wastes mil- lions of dollars on consultants, such as the ones in charge of develop- ing the disastrous West ~e~ CostaMeN HOW TO CONTACT YOUR REPRESEITlnYIS OTY Of COSTA MESA COila Mesa Oty Hall, 77 Fair Drive, 92626, (714) 754-5223 Mayor.

Fishing in 'hot' waters • Go with the Berkley Power Chow for you catfishers out there. I l's time to go fishing for local anglers. Outer waters are hold- ing schools of big albacore, · float kelp patties are loaded with quality yellowtail, the bite at Catalina Island has been steady for barracuda, yellows, calico bass and a few big white sea bass; while along the coast, passengers on board hall-day and twilight t>oats are filling sacks with sand bass and assorted shal- lower water rock fish. 4'aving Davey's Locker at 5 a.m., Captain Richard Ruffi- ni of Costa Mesa headed the fast sportfisher, Bongos 11 over calm seas to a spot about 15 , miles south-southwest of Pyramid Cove. The first stop was on a kelp that prcxluced 15 yellowtail all weighing about eight to 14 poun'ds. The action was bot off the stern and we left the yellows still boiling after releasing the bulk of the fish hooked. Ruffini hadn't run five min- utes before we had a double jig strike and the albies cam.e boiling up to the churn line, laid down by the first deck- hand Scott Larsen of Newport Beach. First to hook up on a bait fish was Todd Garrett of New- port Beach, who decked a 20- pounder, followed by Andy Kondo, also of Newport, who put a 21-pounder in the fish hole. Ruffini had made the right move when he headed west rather than continuing south toward 43 Fathom Spot where the seemed lo ~ve dropped off. The Bongos II didn't troll for more than five minutes (often less than a minute) before albies jumped on the jigs. It was a wide-open bite in an area that was less than Jim Niemiec OUTDOORS one square mile. The bite contin- ued for five hours! In all the years this Newport Beach angler has fished out- er waters for alba- C9fe and tuna, it was one of the most awesome fish- jng trips ever enjoyed. Every angler on board landed lots of big albacore induding a Bal- boa Angling Club "button• fish for Garrett. who fought a 29-pound longfin on 12- pound mono for nearly 45 minutes before Larsen set the gaff in the fish. The highlight of the trip for me was when I set the hook on a big albacore that took me around the sportfisber three times. After 30 minutes, when the longfin came up · under the transom, it looked like a huge bluefin, except for its extended long fins. The fish was expertly gaffed by Larsen and this huge albie scaled 34 pounds, 12 ounces, making it one of the biggest albacore I have caught in more than 50 years of fishing out of Newport Bay. The Bongos II was indeed in the right area and called in other sport boats to fish the hot spot. They also did very well. Water conditions' were ide- al with flat, calm seas and a water temperature just under 67 degrees. There was plenty of bait, breaking fishing, float- ing kelp and lots of deep meter marks, which is hope- fully an indication that aJbe- core, bluefin and yellowtail will stay with fishable waters for the Newport sport fleet well into August. The Bong~ II and Bongos Ill run open party charter trips, limited lo six anglers on Monday and Tuesday, so if there are any local anglers looking for a good boat to fish nearby waters, it's time to make reservations now. There are also bigger schools of albacore and bluefin tuna staging to move north up from Baja California. The sportfisbing yacht Hana Paa, with Tom Tthelger of Newport Beach at the hebn, retwned to Newport on Mon- day and reported that the area around Guadalupe Island has a big area of albies and bluefin tuna. u typical migration routes are followed and the currents don't change, we could be looking for some more out- standing offshore fishing with- in weeks. For you marlin fisherman out there, the water east of Catalina Island looks like it could prcxluce a striped mar- lin any day. On our return trip home, Ruffini ran through crystal blue water with a sea temperature of 70 degrees and lots of bail There is a good chance that if a westerly doesn't blow through, there could be a mar- lin nag Dying at the Balboa Angling Club befqre July 4. Fresh water lake fishing is very good locally. The bass bite at Oso Lake is outstand- ing with lots of bass being caught and released weighing in the 3-to-6-pound dass. Dave Jordan o( Doye Canyon caught 18 bass weighing up to 4 112 pounds this week. The catfish bite is also good at Oso with the average whiskerfish weighing about 10 pounds with Berkley Pow- er Chow being the hot bait. Anaheim Lake openeq up this week fol what should be some good catfishing all sum- mer long and the heavily stocked pond. Also, over at Irvine, there is some good bass aclion reported in the flats and a few decent catches of stocked catfish ln the 1-to- 2-pound dass.

Tony Altobelli DAAY PILOT LOS Al..AMITOS -There's always talk about defense giving the opposition an extra out or two per game. but for the Newport Harbor Baseball Association Bronco •A• All-Star squad, its defense seemed to take outs aw&y in Friday's 6-1 win over Los Alamitos "B" at the J,.os Alamitos Pisb Pry NH.A Tournament. "Our de fense is very BRONCO good and that allows us to do some things out there like pickoffs and pitchouts, • Manager Kevin Heenan said. "Hopefully, this game will get us going back in the right direc- tion." Newport picked one runner off first base. threw out two runners at second base and also turned a most unusual dou- ble play in the sixth inning to keep Los Al scoreless at the Los Alamitos Little League Park. Pitcher Dennis H een an threw five strong innings, allowing only four hits and one walk. He struck out six and used an effective selection of pitches to keep the hitters guessing the wrong way. •He got ahead of most of the batters, which I think was the key to his success," the elder Heenan said. "l really didn't want to throw him five innings today, but he was in great command of his stuff, so I kept him in.· After Los Alamitos took a 1-0 lead in the top of the first, Newport quickly respond- ed. After Heenan double d to right and Billy Munce walked, Alec Martinez singled to left-center, which scored Heenan to tie the game. Nick Frazie r followed with a single, scoring Munce and sending Martinez to second. Martinez then stole third and scored on a passed ball, giving Newport all the runs it would need. In the fourth, Frazier doubled to center and scored when Dustin Schuler clubbed a two-out, two-run home run to right, giv- ing Newport some breathing room at 5-1. •Just before the game, I was talking to the players about stepping up and get- ting the big hit," Kevin Heenan said. "It was nice to see us get the big hits today.• With a win Sunday (3:45 against Los Alamitos "C") Newport would advance to the District Tournament, beginning Monday. GOLF CONTINUED FROM 81 his mark in our group, which, dt times, num- bered as many as six backers (media entourage included). Green's tee shot at No. 9 provided our "fore• -some with the "best drive" in the Texas Scramble format, then his beautiful chip onto the green set up an easy par putt "In football," Green whispered to his girl- friend, Shala Hunter, at the edge of the green, "we call that getting off.· Hunter, seemingly hip to Green's manner of wisdom, responded: ·wen. I think it's begin- ner's luck." "It's skills, honey, really, not luck/ Mr. Irrelevant concluded. Anyway, back on the goll course, Green made par on No. 13, sinking a putt with a stroke resembling a hoc.key slap shot. We did- n't need to give Mr. Irrelevant any pointers, because his swing off the tee, despite an awk- ward appearance, had better results than most in our group. Asked what his "thought process is" while standing over the ball at the tee, the green Green replied: "I'm not thinking about any- thing. I just think about hitting the flag.• (Some folks pay big bucks to see a golf psy· cbologist. who will actually tell you the exact same thing.) Green said he doesn't think about bis swing. •No, I'm just trying to use the right amount of power in relation to the Dag.· How does the saying go about keeping t things simple? On hole No. 15, Mr. Irrelevant drained a par putt from six feet. solidifying his spot as the OlampJon Golf Underdog in the world's great- .-underdog celebration. Mr. Irrelevant, who clearly has outstanding thletic ability and excellent hand/eye coordi- nation, said he can't wait to "really get good· 'on the golf course and, someday, join the NFL's alum.rU. tour. • When asked U they actually spott~ any beer cans floating in the water Thursday night •during the Beercan Regatta at the Balboa Yacht r Oub, Hunter said: "Yeah, I saw one.

Tony Altobelli DAILY PILOT HUNTINGTONBEACH -'Ibree unearned runs, a controversial call and a monster-size helping of heal added up to a 7-5 loss for the Costa Mesa National Uttle League Major Division Marlins in the first round or the District 62 Tournament of Champions Thursday at Robinwood Park. The Ocean View Cardinals over- came an early deficit with the com· bination of dominant relief pitching and timely power. "That was the best pitching we've faced all year,· Marlins Manager Julian Valdez said. "That's a team that will go a Jong way in this tour- nament Th~y've got the pitching to do it.• The Cardinals' bullpen tandem of Justin Chambers and Chris RaJmer combined to strikeout 13 Marlins, while allowing only one infield bit through the final five innings. Marlins' hurler Victor Valdez also pitched well, allowing only three earned runs over five innings with severr strikeouts:-- DISTRICT 62 TOC "Victor threw well today, but he went up against some big bitters," the .elder Valdez said. •Nobody has hit Victor that well all season.• A defensive miscue by the Marlins allowed the Cardinals an extra out and they took advantage of it. With a runner on first, Rabner, the' 5-foot-10, 180-pound cleanup hitter, smacked Valdez' first offering over the right-center field fence, giv- ing the Cardinals a 2-0 first-inning lead. The Marlins quickly answered in the bottom half of the first. P.J. Errington and Mike Wolfe each reached base before Valdez sent them home with a d ouble off the fence in left field, tying the game al 2-2. . 1\vo batters later, Ryan Bagwell hit a two-run home run to left, giv- ing the Marlins a 4-2 lead. "Those guys have been our big sluggers all season long," Julian Valdez said. The score remained 4-2, before the Cards put three controversial fourth-inning runs on the board to take the lead for good. With one run already in and two more runners in scoring position, Cardinals' leadoff hiller Nick Mendoza hit a-slow roller back to Victor Valdez, who had trouble pick· ing up the ball. Valdez recovered and threw toward the plate, but the ball hit the Ocean View runner before crossing the plate without sliding. The ball got away and the runne r from second a lso came around to score. •There's a must-slide rule at this level,• Valdez contested. "It was a judgment call that could have gone our way as much as it could have gone their way. I think the runner should have been out and the runs should not have counted.· Raimer connected again for another home run, his sixth of the season, giving the Cards a 7 -5 lead in the fifth inning. Victor Valdez walked with two outs, went to second on a passed ball a nd score d when Vinnie Valdez's ground ball found its way into right field, cutting the lead to 7 - 6. In the sixth, Eric Seagondollar, hobbled by a bum right ankle, bus- tled out an infield single for the Marlins third and final hit of the game. "This was a team that never quit,• Julian Valdez said. •we were down a number of times this season, but we always seemed to find a way to come back.
