SAlURDAY, JUNE 23, 2001 Newport councilman seeks to close up· debt . . • Gary Proctor is soliciting donations to help retire about $25,000 in bills left over from his campaign. Mathis Winkler DAILY PILOT NEWPORT BEACH -They run. They win. And then they're most likely stuck with campaign debts to pay off. Faced with huge bills to pay, some elected officials will bite the bullet and write off per- sona L funds they've used to support their can- didacy. Others decide to go back to supporters and ask them for help. That's a step Councilman Gary Proctor Gary Proctor recently took to recover some money. "I am writing you today to ask for your help to retire a $25,000 person- .. al campaign debt that I incurred run- ning for city council," Proctor's June 15 letter to supporters began. "It's not easy to ask anyone for money." Proctor then continued his pitch with a rundown of his work to keep flight caps at John Wayne Airport and to build an airport at El Toro. •Airport issues conswne a tremen- dous amount of time and energy," he wrote. "I am pleased that my col-, leagues have allowed me to work on this challenging project ... On Friday, Proctor said he'd sim- ply spent more money than expect- ed. After hearing from others that 'It's interesting, because I h ear a lot of our teach ers '):>ostelection fund-raising letters were fairly common, he decided to give it a shot. "Whatever I can't retire, I will just nave to pay off personally," he said, adding that he'd spent about $55,000 on his campaign. Some of his colleagues agreed that Proctor's action wasn't out of the ordinary. Councilman Tod Ridgeway said he couldn't remember seeing another mass letter before.

Former center director convicted •Alan M. f-v1eyers, who falsely got a job at the Costa Mesa Senior Center, will serve at least 13 months for incident in Oregon. Jennifer Kho DAILY PILOT COSTA MESA-Former Costa Mesa Senior Center Director Alan M. Meyers was convicted of first- degree theft this week for11illcing an Oregon health clinic out of nearly $10,000. Meyers, an alias for a man whose real name is still uncertain, stood trial Wednesday in Klamath Falls, Ore., for stealing money from the non-Alan profit Klamath M. Meyers Falls Open Door Clinic. Meyers was fired by the senior center board in May 2000 after it learned Costa Mesa police were investigating whether he had invented his credentials. imper- sonated doctors and stolen money from dozens of clinics across the country over a 30-year period. At the time, investigators did not find money missing from the senior center coffers, but Costa Mesa Police Lt. Ron Smith said Meyers' salary could be con.sici- ered stolen money if he was hired based on a false resume. The Orange County district attorney's office has not yet decid- ed whether to me charges based on the Costa Mesa police investi- gations. The former center director has used a number of other aliases. including Carmi Bar-llan.

We enjoyed lunch, and I told her about a fun bike trip I was on with 10 women several years ago in Northern California. We were good friends and we started our days with prayer, but one friend named Susan realizoo that there is always potential for misunderstanding. One evening after a delightful day together, Susan asked a question that is now a classic in our group. She looked around at everybody and said, ·oK, I just need to ask if I've offended anybody or U I owe anybody any money?" After we stopped laughing she said, ·we11, you never know with this many of us, I could hurt somebody and not even know it.

Ju~ 23, 2001 .A3 A valuable lesson from a childS first graduatibn ceremony No one should have to sit · through two gradua- tions in.one day, but we had little choice last Thursday. At 1 p.m., Bean was sched- uled to have her "promotion" from Victoria Elementary School. And while that alone would have been overload for most people, our famlly of four also made it down to Mission. Viejo five hows later to see the graduation of my niece, Dana Hines,. from Mis- sion Viejo High School At Victoria, 76 children received a "certificate of grad- uation" even though the end of their elementary school tenure was repeatedly termed a "promo~on." I'm not sure what the difference is but the speeches, advice and tears sure seemed like a·graduation tome. Principal Judy Laakso, my nominee for thiS year's Medal of Valor, kept her remar~ brief, a fabulous model for anyone else who is a speaker at any ceremony. Laakso Steve Smith WHAT'S UP? spent much of her time talk- ing to the parents. "To many of you, it seems like only yes- terday that you enrolled your child in kindergarten," she said. That is true. It is hard to believe that six years have passed since I pulled out the camcorder to record Bean's first trip to school. There, she was met by her first teacher, Tammy Meador, who provid- ed the perfect start to her school experience. Not long after Bean moved up end out of her classroom, Meador had the first of her two children and decided to stay home to raise them. I support Meadors deci- sion, but it was hard to see her leave. Meador had the right combination for a kindergarten teacher: enthusi- astic and fun but with a keen sense for when to put the brakes on all of it. At the pro- motion, in an acknowledg- ment of what a special place this school really is, Meador showed up with her two chil- dren, Jo~than and Connor, to watch the kids move their tassels across their mortar- boards. Yes, they had the caps. No gowns, just caps, and while it may have seemed over-the- top to some, I thought it was wonderful. God was mentioned twice at this public school, once by a teacher during her remarks. No one fainted and not one child started talking in tongues. Laakso talked aoout hard work and dedication, but her most importabt comment probably was lost on some of the parents at the ceremony. "Love and modeling," she said, "has shown your child how to become the graduate he or she is today." It's the modeling remark that hit the bull's-eye . Five hours later, we found ourselves sitting on concrete bleachers watChing Dana and 600. other high schoolers grad~ uate. With us were two exhausted kids wbo were· remarkably well-behaved. Roy, who sat in my lap most of the evening, was unusually patient. Hundreds of chairs were lined up on the football field and thousands of people were in the stands. It reminded me of my own graduation from Fairfax High School in Los Angeles in 1973. Our class of 1,000 graduated at the Holly- wood Bowl, a place where I had been working part-time for two years and which always will be special At Dana's ceremony, there was more talk about bard work and dedication.' "There were more speeches, too, a lot more. One of them, l am sorry to say, was a poorly chosen update of Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech. Aoout 50 kids wore gold gowns instead of the more common red ones, signifying outstanding academic achievement and they were repeatedly singled out. Not one red-gowned student fainted and no one com- plained aoout the n?d gown- ers suffering from a lack of self-esteem as a result. Dana is a smart kid who will enter UC Irvine as a math major. When she graduates in a few years, she will have the world on a string because of the shortage of people who have her same interest. I'm sorry to say that there is no shortage of writers. The two graduations, together with. some profes- sional challenges I expert- enced. in the morning, made it an exhausting day. Driving home, I had the sense that all this happened too quickly, that it was only yesterday that Dana was the 3-year-old who wouldn't talk during a family reunion trip to Yosemite. And I still recall the smile on the face of 'Bean. the little red- haired girl, oblivious to her parent's tears, wtio couldn't wait to start learning at school I'm not on~ to give advice to these kids, not because I don't have any, but because they probably wouldn't listen. But having graduated' my first child, I am more certain than ever that while programs such as class-size reduction and new teaching methods are valuable, I agree with Laakso that parents created the grad- uates we saw on Thursday. • STEVE SMITH is a Costa Mesa resident and freelance writer.

I had to live in the Estancia High School attendance area. Then, as now, Estancia was known as the cream of the crop insofar as turning out talented thespians was concerned. The primary rea- son for this was the drama instructor, Barbara Van Holt, ·for whom the school's per- forming fadllty is now named. Van Holt retired five years ago after a quarter of a cen- tury at the helm. but Estanda amtinues to collect the lion's share of the MACY (Music and Arts Commendation for Yotith) awards each spring, for which a good deal of the credit must be accorded her successor, Pauline Maranian. Since 1997, Maranian's student actors have swept through the MACYs like the Lakers through the NBA playoffs -including the most recent competition when the school's production of •Fiddler on the Roof" left other competitors in its wake. The school won a record 17 pe.rformance awards, includ- ing the Masterpiece honor, the top prize. Why, one might wonder, do the Eagle performers do so consistently well? After all, the seniors graduate and oth- er students fill their shoes every year. Yet since the torch was passed from Van Holt to Maranian in 1997, Estancia bas won, by Maran- ian's estimate, between 60 and 70 MACY awards. •u it hadn't been for Bar- bara Van Holt.

Blake, who also performed in the Broadway run of the show, says it's a cleaned-up version of l'ravolta's 1977 flick. Robert Stigwood produced the stage version and Nan Knighton adapted it from the film. Seventies bits including •Sta yin' Alive," "For the family audience,• he said.

He also received a wet version of ~road rash,· thanks to a pesky lane divider. During Friday's 200 back final, held at the Marguerite Recreation Center, Peirsol was well out in front from the opening lap. Just before the 100-meter mark, Peirsol suddenly became one with the outside lane divider, giving the crowd a chance to gasp and point in disbelief. • n·s funny, because I thought I was right down the middle,• Peirsol said, checking out the red mark on his back. •Tue next thing I knew, I was hitting the lane divider: Peirsol, competing for the Irvine Novaquatics, barely lost his rhythm. but the rrunor collision did rost the Olympic sil- ver medalist the meet record time of 1 :58.95, set by world champion and two- time Olympic gold medalist Lenny Krayzelburg, who beat Peirsol in this race last year. The Newport Harbor High senior-to-be still managed to wm the race in 2:00.37, five seconds ahead of runner-up Keith Beavers of Canada (2:05.72). • 1 think it would have been very close (to the record),· Novaquatics Coach Dave Salo said. •1n the backstroke, there are no landmarks, so it can be tough to keep your bearings. That shows me that perhaps his stroke was off a little bit. But he still recov- ered and put together a very good time.• This meet is Peirsol's final tuneup before the World Championships, held in Japan in July. •Aaron will compete in the 200 and 100 backstroke events as well as the 400 medley relay,· Salo said. Said Peirsol. ·rm really looking forward to the Worlds. I wish Lenny (Krayzelburg) was racing with me, but there will still be some unbelievable competition there any- way."

Fishing has been good for Bongos Jim Niemiec o1JTDOORS Sportfishing -(949) 673-1.810, for the past week as the fast six-pack chcuter boats are enjoying a great albacore season. Late last week, Jun MacMillan of Newport Beach was on board the • Bongos a· with a charter group and they got into a mixed bite on albacore and yeUowtail fishing over a deep canyon about 10 miles southeast of San Clement Island. MacMillan's charter found the albies to be eager biters on anchovies and the yelllowtail jumped on sardines fished under floating kelp. Anglers fishing coastal waters are doing very good now that the water temperature has jumped back up into the low 70s off the beach. There are breezing schools of barracuda being fished by anglers on board half-day and three-quarter-day boats just d rouple of miles off the beach and the calico bass bite has been limiting fishing for all anglers between Abalone Point and Laguna. Captain Richard Ruffini of Cqsta Mesa took a group of · novice anglers down the coast to Crystal Cove, aboard the deluxe spor1fisher #Bonga;,. earlier this week and limited out on legaJ calico bass as the bite exploded JUSt outside stnnger kelp with the best dct:lon coming on anchovtes. There are still while seabass and yellowtaJ..l being sacked on the back side of Catalma Island aJong with lots of bass, boruto, and some big bames. Mid-channel waters are blue and warm and these ideal fishing conditions have triggered a movement of sharks onto high spots. The hot spot appears to be the 14-Mile Bank, where a number of rnako sharks were hooked over the weekend. Most sharks are on ~ smaller side, ranging between 30 and 60 pounds, but there have been a rew fish gaffed that weighed easily more than 100 pounds. Slow trolling live green back mackerel with down riggers has accounted for the bulk of mako hookups.
