Your19 Chang DAILY Pit.OT COSTA MESA -The first play Paula Tomei ever watched was at South Coast Repertory about 30 years ago when the theater stood on New- port Boulevard and when composer Toni Tenille helped put on a produc- tion of •Mother Earth.• Tomei was in junior high school at the time. Even then, she preferred being in the audience lo acting on stage. But as she later learned, her spotlight shined backstage. The managing director of SCR was elected this weekend as presi- dent of Theatre Communications Group, a national service group for not-for-profit professional theater. "I got more involved in drapia pro- ductions in high school, as a business manager of the production depart- ment, and I began to realize that I felt at home being around artists." said Tomei, 44. The Estancia High School gradu- ate and Laguna Beach resident first became involved with Theatre Com- munications Group, whose con- stituency includes SCR and more than 400 theaters in the country, when she jomed the local theater in 1979. Her pos1bons have included sub- scripbons manager, business manag- er and general manager. She bas served as the treasurer or the Theatre Commurucations Group for the past two years and is the first SCR staff member to even JOin the national group's board.

The expansion, which Includes a 10-story officer tower and two parki ng structures, must be approved by the city's voters if council members approve it. That's because the project triggers a Greenlight election, which requires an election for general plan amendments that add mo re than 40,000 square feet or 100 peak-hour car trips or dwelling units over what's allowed. Planning com- missioners recomme nded approval of the project at their June 7 meeting. What to expect Council members can e ither approve or deny the project or postpone a decision, pending more Information. NO DOGS ALLOWED IN CARROLL BEEK PARK Council members will discuss a proposal to pro- hibit dogs at Ca rroll Beek Park. The city's municipal code already doesn't a llow dogs on piers and on school property. Co un- cilman Steve Bromberg suggested outlawing dogs at t he park as well. Locat· ed on the west side of Agate Avenue, just north of South Bay Front, the park is mainly made up of a basketball court a nd a community center with little grass or vegetation. Bromberg felt dog feces presents a potential health and safety prob- lem given the size and nature of the park. Guide dogs would be exempted from the ban.

MOTORIZED SCOOTERS ON THE BOARDWALK Council members will discuss banning motorized scooters from t he board- walk on Balboa Peninsula. They already tentatively approved the ban at their June 12 meeting, and the new law would take effect in 30 days if they approve it again. What to expect: Council members are expected to approve the ban. SCOOTER REGULATIONS ON THE BOARDWALK Council members will discuss scooter regula- t ions on the boardwalk. While bikers, skate- boarders and roller skaters already have to follow such rules as a maximum speed limit of 8 mph, scooters have not been regulated so far. The pro posed change would also require scoot- ers to not "engage in any activity on the Boardwalk that creates an unreasonable risk of injury to any person," according to the pro- posed new rules.

The O.J. Simpson case is, of course, the classic in this field. However, others of lesser stature have enjoyed this doubtful notori- ety. When I was a Superior Court judge, I tried one of those cases -twice. The first trial ended in a h ung jury, and while I had very little to do with that, I received literally bales of mall lambasting me for the outcome. The public had to have a victun for its disap- pointment and I was handy. Fortunately, there was a second trial. Henry Ford McCracken was d longtime child molester who escaped any serious punishment fo r his misdeeds because of the well -known reluctance of mothers to let their chil- dren testify. However, this lime he killed his victim, BRIEFLY Saturday trash pickup to begin this week On Saturday, the aty of New- port Beach's refuse divi.slon will begm pJClang up trash twice a week m West Newport Beach. This affects areas west of Balboa BoGlevard between Surrunit and Main Street. The extra pickup will continue unbl Sept 1, with the exception of July 7. when the Saturday service will be postponed for a week. Robert Gordner THE VERDICT and the case against him was ironclad except for one thing: The body of the child was missing. Not absolutely essential to a trial, but certainly impor- tant. Sheriff Jim Musick was determined to find the body, and be was able to figure out bow much gasoline McCracken bad in his car before and after the k.Jlhng. Putting his thumb on the place of the killing, Buena Park. he drew a circle around that place -the maximum distance McCracken could have Trash must be placed in a container that does not exceed 35 gallons in capacity, IS not constructed of metal and does not have an attached I.Id.

His investigators fanned out on this seemingly hope- less search, but by the wildest chance a couple of them stopped at 1Cook's Comer in the foothills of the Santa Ana mountains. Although not particularly hopeful, they showed every- one there McCracken's ph o- tograph. To their amaze-· ment, the bartender and some of the regulars remembered a man who · matched the photograph.

This was obviously ,before the presen t judicial log jam. This story raises two questions. 1. Why did McCracken attract national attention? That's easy. Television news was just coming into its own, and this new kind of news media was fighting for its share of mterest, which forced compelillon with the print media 2.

What to expect: If the board hears no concerns or questions from the audience, they will, later in the meeting, consider adopting the tentative budget. CAR DEALERS' DONATIONS In October, two board members approached rep- resentatives from the group of car dealerships known as tbe Harbor Boulevard of Cars who had expressed interest in help- ing in possible fund-raising efforts. A plan was devel- oped in which $50 is set aside for Newport-Mesa schools with each car sold. What to expect: Members of the Harbor Boulevard of Cars will for- mally announce to school board members tonight . the second donation of $50,000. Of that $50,000, $25,000 is designated for Newport Harbor High School's Advancement Via Individual Determination program and the other $25,000 will help pay for an after-school tutoring program for middle school students at Costa Mesa High School.

NONTEACHERS SALARY ACCORD After extensive negoti· ations, school d istrict offi- cials and members of the California School Employ- ees Assn. have reached a tentative agreement, wh ich the board will vote on tonight. A request for an addi- tional salary increase to keep their pay competitive with similar districts in Orange County had dassi- fied, or nonteachers and administrators employees, out in force last month. Hundreds of classified employees attended a school board meeting to show their support of the union . What to expect: The tentative agreement would provide an addi- tional 3% salary increase that would be retroactive to July. Employees would receive retroactive pay in the fall. In addition, employees would begin to see the 3% in their pay as of July 1. The district also would commit to a 2% increase next summer. -compiled by Danette Goulet • Our Studio, Your Hoine Or Office • Personally Designed Eating Plaru • Body Fat Testing & Goal Setting • Women & Weight Training Woric.shops • Young Adulu, Seniors And Po.st &P~02tal~ • Expenenced Educated Prof'u.sionals 'flir HOOv Brol111• < it happci1 bemuse \\ 1~1wi3Jfl t1Jc mot. c~m, woman's most Slul~IOnl prol~ems ~ custouti1j1 r pnt!Ql'.\~ from O\ff I G8 ' ~inan1i1~ trrahnMdll foll 91H.&1044H9, 111~ :u-' ).tt a suialkT. ~trr n'3r rod todtyl 9~9-642-5866 www noxcuzfi~ com 16 1 7 Wes1chff Dr Sune I 09.

Daily .Pilot College years create another life bookmark S chool is out and the class of 2001 graduates now move on to the next chapter in their lives. I asked my daughter, just back from her first year at coll e, to pass alon some words of advice. Some of you will be going lo com· munity college by design and some because you goofed off in high school. Some fri ends will go off lo colleges throughout the United States and will e-mail you with tales of what it is like to live in a land without Gay Geiser- Sandovol EDUCATIONALLY SPEAKING parents. They will be recounting wild nights in the dorm. So, if you go to college, now is the time to get motivated. You will deter- mine your own destiny, and if you don't get yourself lo class, don't read the books and don't study for the tests, you won't have to worry about what your major is going to be. You will get kicked out. lf you are off to a top-caliber school, plan on having a crisis in con- fidence. In college, all of the kids are top-notch. None of your teachers·has ever heard of you. It's a challenge figuring out where your class is and what books to buy, much less how to get all of the assignments done and how to study for the tests. Instead of letting panic overtake you, decide you are as good as anyone else, and you too can make it at this school. Get involved in something you like and be committed to it. It gives you an opportumty to meet people outside of your dorm who share a common interest. Go to all of the dorm activities, including ski trips, dances and tun nights. Remember, everyone else is as nervous about meeting new people as you are, so don't be shy, especially at the begin- ning. You will regret it later if you do. Decide what you will take to your dorm room and then lake a lot less stuff. Get a white board to put on your door for others to write you notes. Don't bring any books from hame. Bring fbp-fiops for the shower. Decide that you will get along with your roommate. You don't really have much of a choice, so you might as well make it a positive experience. Once you get there, take a tour of the college library and find out what secret resources it holds. It may have old tests fTom previous classes to help you know what to study. Find a place in the library that is quiet with no distractions and use it as your study and reading place. There is loo much to read. Read what is important and retain that part. Skim over the rest. VJ.Sit your teachers during office hours and ask them for help. Find the tutors and ask them to read over your papers before you turn them in. Leave yourself enough time to draft and redraft big assignments because your college teachers won't give yt>u extensions like you got in bigb 9Chool. Organize your time. While you have known your high· school friends for many years, it's not tbe same as living with them. U you go away to school, most of your freshman year will be spent talldng and learning how to live with others. The people in your dorm will be your friends for We. You think you are going to college to learn about id- ence or computers or a-subject. But, after a year away at coUege, what you learn the most about is,yourself. Al the end of freshman year, one student reflected that he felt he bad finally •tound hlmseU. • Ube died today, he would be bappy with the decisions and chokes he mode.

Titls includes fea· lures such as "Kids Talk Back• and ·1n the Classroom," as well as your sports coverage and numerous articles and programs at the various schools. Consequently, I found Sunday's article ("Seeking the good in being bad," June 3) and picture on the Costa MAILBAG Mesa sex therapist's new book surpnsmg and very offensive. She must have quite an effective PR person who won you over. So much for standards. And on the subject of standards, I do wonder why you give Dennis Rodmdil the front·page headline coverage. That plays right into the hands of this publicity-seeking has-been. It makes me wonder what the Daily Pilot is trying to be.

First of all, if a resident b~s two houses side by side. it is normal to want to accommodate one large boat.

Why the discrepancy between collilty and Newport Beach opinion on El Toro?

T here are three marn reasons for a di.screp· ancy between county- wide opinion and Newport Beach regarding an airport at El Toro. First, Newport Beach resi · dents have been aware of air transportation needs and problems for more than 20 year.; due to John Wayne Air· port's dose proximity to the nty. They have been forced into understanding this issue far more than the average county citizen. We know that all legili· mate studies on future county air transportation require- ments indicate significant increases, and we cannot rely on other airports, such as the already maxed-out Los Ange- les lntemational Airport Newport Beach clearly understands there are two choices: create a c:ommertial w.rport at the available El Toro site or eq>aDd JWA. Physical evidence demon· strates JWA is far too small lo adequately handle future needs. It is on 490 acres, while the El Toro property is about 4,700 aaes. JWA already is coosidered one ol the more dangerous airports . due lo the combinatioo ol its having only one small runway used for takeofts, an enor- mous amount ol small aircraft that mingles wttb large jets in approech patterns, a most unusual takeoCI procedwe necessary for~ miDJa· lion. and most problematic ot all, homes, schools and busi- nesses extJa:oety do9e to the airport and directly under the takeoff~.
