A brand new boat with the fierce

two brothers from Newport-Mesa. took
Wednesday to claim the best overall
corrected time and first in its class.
One of the most prestigious
yacht races in the world, the
Transpac is a 2,225-mile journey .
from Los Angeles to Honolulu.
The biennial race was the vision of
a Hawaiian king in the 19th century
and continues to be the premier race
of the Pacific.
The victorious Bull was neck and
neck for the title of overall win with
corrected time with the Pegasus, a
75-foot ReicheVPugh skippered by
Phillippe Kahn out of Santa Cruz.
At a mere eight davs, two hours, 34

built their own boats,• Spears said.
Among the seven-member crew
aboard the Bull fOI' 10 days, 17 boW'S, 49

tiny devices we qold in the

Last month, New York's

first in California to ban cell

A JUGGLING ACT
Mike Reynolds, 50, picks up his
cellular phone and puts down the
regular phone.
"What time? Where? OK, we'll be
right there,• be says, hanging up
and grabbing a walkie-talkie in one
fluid motion.
"Get a .move on, or you're going
to be late,• he says into the walkie-

You need to be at the airport!• ·
Reynolds, who has worked at
Newport Irvine Cab Enterprise -
also known as NICE Taxi -since
1997 balances his duties the same
way he juggles the telephones.
He is a dispatcher, a taxi cab dri-
ver and a mechanic for the Costa
Mesa business.
But driving is probably his favorite
part of the job.
HDriving a cab is like being your
own boss,• Reynolds said. "You never
know where you are going to go, and
every day is different I'm not stuck
between four walls in an office. J go
everywhere and see the entire frame of
life, from people so poor they are lucky
tl they can afford a cab to rich business-
people with their brlefcases and suits.
The funny thing is that regular people

tip better than the rich people.•
GETTING STARTED
After leaving the Army in 1972,
Reynolds was a cab driver in Detroit
and Tucson, Ariz., before moving to
California. He worked in Los Ange-
les in 1984 and later moved to Costa
Mesa, where he worked for Souiji
Coast Cab from 1992 to 1997 and
became a manager.
After a collision with a tractor-trail-
er left him with a hole in his chest, an
artificial hip and a disfigured face,
however, Reynolds said he sued the
company for bis medical bills and
subsequently lost bis job. He quickly
got a new job at NICE Taxi.
DANGEROUS BUT REWARDING
Accidents are not the only dan-
gerous part of the job, Reynolds said,
adding that he has been robbed at
least five times in his career.
"You have to be able to read ~
pie quickly,• be said. ·we have no
bulletproof windows, so we have to
judge whether we're going to feel
safe having this person in your cab. I
was robbed at gunpoint once by a
druggie who was so stoned he got
mad et me because I bad just started
my shift and only had $17, n ot
enough for him to get hit fix. It
sea.red me to death because looking
at him was like looking at a dead
person."
People also often try to cheat ta.xi
drivers out of their fares, be said.
LONG DAYS AND NIGHTS
The hardest part of the job ls the
long bOurs, he said. '
Shifts are usually 12 boUrs, but
sometimes last 18 if the company
gets a lot of calls.
And the pay is DOt the best. Reynolds
said. explnining that he makes about
$8.50 an hour after be pays for his car
maintenance and the cxxnpauy's dis-
patch. insunmce and cdia! rent fees.
But the job satisf ac1ion ls worth it,
be said.

a hurry,• he said. "Maybe they were

first, 01y Council members tried
to talk about the btgger picture.
After all. they'd met to discuss
the city's policies regarding pri-
vate piers during a study session
on Tuesday afternoon.
But when residents, more
than 50 of whom had come to
City Hall to attend the meeting,
began to address city leaders
on the subject, it became obvi-
ous that a specific issue had
them concerned.

Ashoff was talking about a

property owner wants to park in
the harbor.
For weeks, Lodwrick M.
Cook. who owns homes at 1106

officials are still trying to figure
out whether this latest alterna-
tive conforms with the rules.
Neighbors have objected to
both options, saying the boat is
too big for the island, that it will
get in the way of beachgoers
and that it will create a safety
hazard for swimmers and other
boaters.
""This is not a personal issue,·

has been a vocal opponent of his
plans. "No one is attempting to

said, adding that he believed
the city's pier perm.it policy
worked just fine and didn't need
any changes.
Pete Swift, who repairs and
remodels docks in Newport
Harbor, agreed.
"I wony about stacking on
more layers or government for
the docks,• he said. "It seems
like it's getting a bit too much.·
The existing policy, put in
place in 1964, requires city offi-
cials to look only at pier and dock
size and the effect they have on
beach use and navigation.
But Councilman Steve
Bromberg has asked city offi-
cials to draft revisions to the doc-
ument, which would ma.Ke boat

future.
He also has suggested
putting a moratorium on pier
permits on South Bay Front from
Garnett Avenue to the Grand
Canal until the policy issue has
been dealt with.
His colleagues aren't all
behind that part of his proposal.
"I'm reticent to change all
these policies because of one
boat,• Councilwoman Nonna
Glover said.
The city's harbor committee
will take up the issue at a 7:30

said, it was not a good process
that we used at the beginning
of the year. 1 look forward to
this being used as the process
from now on.•
Until July 23, the city will
accept applicatiOl\S for the
empty Planning Commiwkm
spot left by Katie WU.00. who
resigned last month because
she moved to Seal Beach.
Each ooundl member will
review tbe applications and
will select his or her top five to
nominate. The mayor will
combine the nominations and
select the top 10 who reoeived
the most nominations.
On July 28, the coWldl will
have a special meet1Dg to inter-
view the 10 finalists and
appoint the new oammissioner.
Each council member will
nominate his or her fi.rst-
cholce candidates for each
vacant position and that per-
son will receive two._polnls, A
second-choice candidate also
will be selected and will
receive one point
The council will then vote
between the two candidates
with the most points.
·1 think it's a good
process," Councilwoman Lln-
da Dixon said. "I believe that
all the council members felt
comfortable with it, and I
think it will work."
Councilman Gary Mona-
ban said the new procee1 is
more complicated than It
needs to be, but that it will
work better than the last one.
•1 tried to keep It simple
and, of course, we had to
make lt difficult," he said "It's
one opening and it could have
been simple, but it's probably.
good that we put together a
process for the next time that
commissioners are chosen.
The big mistake we made last
time was requirtng all five
positions and doing it all at
the same time. That's what
leads to all the fighting and
gobbledygook."
Planning commissioners
said the new process seems
more orderly than last year's.
"I've seen all kinds of pro-
cedures over the years, and
this soun~ like it is probably
as good as any of them,· Plan-
ning Commissioner Walt Dav-
enport said. "I think it's a way
to do it, and it's probably
going to work. It sounds
orderly to me since I don't
have to go through it.•
Commissioner Bruce Gar-
lich agreed.
"I'm glad they're trying to
come up with a way to do it
that's a little more orderly
than the last time,. be said.
•rm sure they're trytnci to
make it better, and I'm sure
they will.·
Tom Sutro, the only com-
missioner who was not reap..
pointed 1n December, said he
doesn't plan to run again
despite the new process. ·
"I've taken on some other
responsibilities," he said. •rm
the chair of Leadership
Tomorrow and still serving on
the Chamber (of ~)
board. so I'm probably gOlng
to pass.•
Eleanor Egan, a Costa
Mesa resident who frequently
attends council meetings, said
she thin.ks the new process
sounas reasonable.
"At lease they all know
what the p~ure is ahead
of time,• she said. •1 think
that's what messed things up
last time. Nobody knew what
was going to happen, and
they were taken by surprise.·
The meeting to select the
new commissioner is sched-
uled for 9 a.m . July 28 at the
Neighborhood Community
Center, 1845 Park Ave., Costa

CITY Hill
WHAT HIPPlllDi
The Planning Comml~
slon voted Monday to rec-
ommend preliminary zoning
for about li:nl ~~?,:' ml i~~~I~
eastern edge
of the city. The areas -
county islands entirely or
partially surrounded by the
city-are under considera-
tion for incorporation into
Costa Mesa.
The preliminary zoning,
if pa~ by the council at a
future meeting. will become
the official zoning for the
areas if they are annexed
into the city.
Zoning establishes how
land may be used. such as
for housing, business, Indus.-
try or recreation.
WHIT IT MEANS:
The Planning Commis-
sion recommended that
most of the areas south of
Mesa Drive be used for low-
and medium-density hous-
ing and that one site at
2651 Irvine Ave. be desig-
nated as a neighborhood
commercial site.
North of Mesa Drive, the
commission recommended
that areas be zoned for
medium-density housing
and that the Santa Ana
Country Oub be zoned for
institutional and recreation-
al use.
WHIT THEY SAID:
"It was made clear by a
couple of comments at the
meeting that we could have
had more input. I like to
hear from everybody as
much as possible and ...
only four or five people
spoke. I wish that more
people had spoken and that
we would have had the
opportunity to sit down
with people."
-Commissioner
Bill Perkins
WHIT HAPPENED:
The commission approved
a request fot South Coast
RepertOf)' to eJCPlf'd ~
34000 square
feet to lndude
a 301-seat
audttorium. a
stage and
ancillary sup-
port space. ~ preliminary
master plan for the theater
was approved Feb. 5 as part
of the Town Center project
The project. a collabora-
tion between South Coast
Plaza, the Orange County
Performing Arts (:enter and
Commonwealth Partners
LLC. indudes a pedestrian-
oriented Theater Arts District
bordered by Bristol Street.
Sunflower Avenue, Avenue
of the Arts and the San
Diego Freeway.
tt also calls for a new sym-
phony hal~ ecpansion of
South Coast RepertOfy's the-
ater, an art museum or acad-
emy. restaurants. an
improved parking area and
office space.
WHAT IT MEANS:
The request includes
minor changes from the
preliminary master plan
because the proposal
indudes three stories
instead of two, but with a
lower height of 55 feet,
rather than 160 feet
If passed by'the Crty
Council, the expansion will
also add 301 seats, not 336
as was originally proposed.
WHAT THEY SAID:
•rm really glad this went
thro~h. It's a good project.
I was really concerned
about traffic and we were
provided with an excellent
traffic study, which made It
really easy to put the
motion through and get It
passed."

strong, green memories BEEK STREET BACKUP
Everyone who's

25 years owes a debt of
gratitude to Fran Robinson.
Robinson, who died June
30, and her husband,
Frank, are the main and
major reason why the bay
has protection as an ecolog-
ical habitat. Rather than let
the Irvine Co. develop the
Bay Back in 1969, the cou-
ple sued to stop the county
from handing over the land.
Four years later, a judge
ruled in their favor, paving
the way for the state to buy
the land and tum it into

world. but didn't have a
clue how to spend it.
How wrong those critics
were. Fran, it turns out, had
the clear, strong sight of an
eagle and was ~ble to see
how important it would be
to keep the fragile ecosys-
tem who1e and unspoiled.
The Upper Newport Bay is
a beautiful haven for
endangered birds. It could
have been just another tract
of housing.
It was a fitting tribute
that some 200 people
braved a drizzly morning
for her memorial service at
the Peter and Mary Muth
Interpretive Center, which
sits on the northe rn edge of
the Back Bay. A lasting
tribute will be the city's,
county's and state's contin-
ued preservation of this
treasured bit of land, which
she helped ensure for

were labeled "kooks," and
Fran herself got hit with a
double whammy: "bird-

What should Chris Steel do?-
•The Costa Mesa
councilman has twice
turned down a deal that
would reduce charges
against him if he resigns.
M y own personal feel-
ing about what Chris
Steel should do is he
should take the plea where he
would be declared guilty of
misdemeanors as opposed to
felonies. U that automatically
means that be has to resign
his post, so be it. He then -
at a future time not too far off
- could come back and run
again and see how the voters
felt about il
So it seems to me it would
be better for him even though
be wants to fight every princi-
ple. I don't think the turf ls
very good right now for that,
so I would recommend that be
take the plea bargain and the
misdemeanor charge and go
from that point. As I say, if be
bas to give up b1s City Coun-
dl position now, so be it if he
can come back and run again.
I wish him well.

I know I wouldn't have. I

he should take the plea bar-

COMMUNfJY COMMENTARY
A ll this fuss about Dennis Rodman is a bit
out of line, but when it comes to fun, typi-
cal Newport Beach 1tays U you hear noise,
call the police.
But I do feel sorry for the neighbors late at
night. I remember the '50s and '60s, when a lot of
the now old-timers drew some big crowds on
Balboa Island.
And over on the peninsula. remember the infa-
mous Bird Club? They started the wet T-chirt am-
tests right in our Back Bay at the annual tricyde
races. But they never got into this big of a stink, and
that was the era when we still had propeller-driven
oommerdal airaaft flying out of Orange County
Allport that would really vibrate }'OlU" houle.
Then, at 9:45 p.m., the Newport Beach Police
Department stormed over Balboa llland bridge
with a motorcycle, squad car and a paddy wag-
on, announcing on a loud speaker for anyone
under the age oJ 18 to get off the ltreetl because
the 10 p.m. curfew would put you in jail.
Kids were singled out and bu1ca.lly banished
from banging out or having fun. There were no
fights and hardly more than the typical teen
pranks that moct of us would have to fea up to at
least once in our perfectness.
I don't suppose Coundlman Gary Proctor ever
took part in a party or raited a yell or two al cele-

kets of fruit and greenery
and not a single thing else.
The bottom shot shows
Cal State Fullerton in all its

are gone. The buildings
have taken over.
•Every year, we try to
salute one agricultural com-
modity,• said Ruby Lau,
director of public affairs for
the fair.
Tauber has made the
cause his li1elong identity.
Known as a citrus artist for
his paintings about oranges,
his "Mona Lisa in Orange•
has grabbed local attention.
It's Leonardo da Vinci's
traditional lady, but with an
orange tree carved in the
shape of Mona Lisa -the
leaves combed even -and
da Vinci's original back-
ground.
"My paintings have a lot
of complex ideas behind
them,• Tauber said.
"They're philosophical
thoughts to live by. and l
picked oranges as a way to
express these thoughts
because oranges are happy
and simple and everybody
loves them."
He squeezes his own
fresh orange jajce every
morning and eats a whole
orange every day too. He's
even tried to grow his own
trees but admits failing in
this department.
•I'm not a very good
green thumb,• Tauber said
of nurturing the fruits. "But
I'm be tter at painting
them.·

pervades Normandy almost
six decades after its libera-
tion in boW)dless ways not
nearly so apparent in other
parts of France. So do graph-
ic reminders of the German
terrorizing of civilians, espe-
cially in the aftermath of the
Allies' Normandy landing.
The extremities of both were
unexpected to me.
My wife and I were in
Normandy with dear friends
who live in Provence and
met us in Paris to conduct an
eight-day auto trip exploring
Normandy and Brittany.
lbrough them, we were not
only able to communicate in ,
real depth with the French
people we met, but were
also introduced to the adven-
tures of William the Con-
queror, who departed from
these same beaches a thou-
sand years earlier to claim
the English throne. His
exploits are described in a
magnificent tapestry in
Bayeux that plays off nicely
against the imposing statue
of Gen. George Patton that
commands a square in
Avranches, where the major
American breakthrough took
place.
We stayed in small towns
and bed-and-breakfast
places in the countryside,
and almost everyone older
than 50 whom we talked to
had a war story to teU us.
Typical was the owner of a
splendid country estate near
Caen, where Allied war cor-
respondents -who weren't,
at th"at stage of our history,
told what to wnte by the
American military -were
quartered after the Germans
were pushed out. The dining

And how the Germans had
fled in the middle of a meal

But the place I will have
trouble putting from my
mind for a very long time is a
village called Oradour.
There, four days after the
Allied Normandy landings, a
company of 200 German SS
troops surrounded the town
and moved into its center,
herding all the residents
before them. Some 400
women and children were
locked into a church. and
220 men were broken into a
half dozen separate groups
in various parts of the vil-
lage. Then, at a signal from
the SS captain, the men were
shot and the church set on
fire. 1Wo days later, before
the Allied troops reached this
town, the SS returned to
shovel the remains into d
mass grave. Only one
woman and two men

a visit my wife and 1 once
made to AU5Chwitz com-
pared to the horror of look-
ing into the rubble of that
church, visioning what had
taken place there, and realiz-
ing it was planned and exe-
cuted with the aame deadly
efficiency as the ovens at
Auschwitz.
The effect of all this and
the agonizing questions it
poses was brought into focus
in the town square of anoth-
er simple village where we
stopped for a drink. A plaque
in the square told us that
here a group of townspeople
had been executed by the
Germans. A half-dozen
young people were hanging
out, and my host asked them
what had taken place here.
They hadn't the faintest idea
and seemed impatient at the
question. The Chamber of
Commerce was next door, so
we went in and asked the
same question. The three
young staff women didn't
know either. One of them

better, before the people
who lived through those des-

make sure that succeeding
generations remember
graphically how it was? Or is
it better that the anger and
hatred that grew from those
times be allowed to dissipate
with fresh generetions, free
to fonn new and different
bonds? Or should there, per-
haps, be some of each to
make sure th.at it doesn't

Heavy thoughts for lnde-

and I don't know .
about you, but I am so mcit-
ed I can hardly wait to be the
flnt one .tn line for a cinna-
mon bun -frosted, of
coune.
Actually, maybe I'll have a
Coloaal Burger first. That's
the bambuqier that comes
with two beef patties, two
slices of cheese, multiple
slices of bacon, pastrami and
a fried egg -if you really
need more protein. I love the
Coloaal Burger. I dream
about the Colossal Burger.
And you know what? The
burger trailer is right next to
the fried vegetable stand
Deep-fried artichoke hearts,
zuodlini sticks, mushroom
caps, all with enough ranch
dressing to please the hWlgti·
est rulCher. I've missed the
bratwurst stand. but I'm told
it's even better than the Colos-
sal Burger, so this year I'm
gdng to twist and shout my
way to bratwurst heaven, per-
haps making a few stops along
the parade route for grilled
com on the cob, a bot dog on a
stick. freshly squeezed country
fair lemonade, barl>ecued beef

Actually, my favorite part
of tbe Orange County Fair
are the animals and the
crops. In other words, prior
to eating the results, you get
to see the source.
It's not just for school-
children. Seeing baby pigs

high as an elephant's eye is a
pretty special thing, even for
us dty slickers. So let your

big kids than little ones).
Then when you have fin.
ished looking at the crops
and chomping on your own
Colossal Burger, hit the Mid-
way and bungee jump to
your stomach's and heart's
content. U that's not enough,
go see a show for free. The
fair always books some of the
biggest stars of days 'gone by.
Last year Evelyn Cham-
pagne King sang her heart
out for the happy throng who
stopped in at the arena j~t
after they ate their own
Colossal Burgers. This year
the lineup of entertainment
even surpasses Miss King,
which is no simple act to fol-
low.
If you think I'm poking
fun, just try to get in front of
me in line for my Colossal
Burger and you will see what
serious really means. Kid-
cting aside, the Orange
County Fair 2001 is a real
community treasure.

Another great Newport-

Aug. 16. The event, which
traditionally unfolds at
Edwards Big Newport Cine-
ma at Fashion Island, begins
with a strolling dinner in.the
parking lot at 5 p.m. featur-
ing a taste from a large
assortment of wonderful
restaurants in the communi-
ty, followed by a 1 :30 film
premier.
This year, event co-chairs

Patti Edwards reports that
there will be more than 25 of
Orange Counties favorite
restaurants serving dinner to
the 552 crowd, but there will
not be any Colossal Burgers.
I guess we will just have
to get those at the fair. In any
event, between summer at

. Hordes should head for Pan 'Asia Mongolian Bar-B-Q~
8y Jennifer K Mehal
M y first exposure to
Mongolian barbe-
cue came a few
weeks ago, when a friend
took me to an all-you-can-
eat buffet in a nearby town"
It was so much fun that I
have been hungry to try it
again.
So, I opened up my trusty
Yellow Pages and found
Pan Asia Mongolian Bar-B-
Q on East 17th Street in
Costa Mesa. It's the best
find that the phone book
ever made for me.
The quartet of college-
age patrons that trooped in
ahead of me for lunch
should have been a clue to
the pricing of the fare. Thet
and the surfers who came in
right after. This is no
swanky restaurant. Instead,
it's a clean, cluttered dive
with prices that will leave
you feeling flush -espe·
cially when you get out'
with lunch for two having
cost less than $20, including
tip.
Pan Asia's decor will
probably never win any
awards, but it's cheerful.
Red is the primary color,
with Chiriese lanterns and
butterfly kites hanging from
the ceiling. It's a small place
and it gets crowded easily,
especially during the lunch
hour.
The menu is rather limit-
ed -basically there's Mon·
golian barbecue, Mongolian
barbecue and more Mongo ..
lian barbecue. wonton soup
($2.50 a bowl), baby egg
rolls ($1.60 for 4), fried
shrimp ($2 for 2), fried won-
tons ($1.20 for six), pocket
biscujts ($0.90 for two) and
special dumplings ($4 for
10) fill out the side orders,
but that's pretty much it.
For those who are not
familiar with it, Mongolian
barbecue consists of sliced
meats, vegetables and spe-
cial sauces that are stir-fried
to order. The fun of going to
such a place is that you get
to pick out everything and
then watch them cook it.
One of the nice things
about Pan Asia is that while
you do get to choose your
meat, it is brought to you in
a bowl rather than being set
out in the buffet. It seems
much more sanitary this
way -anti you still get to
mix between beef, pork,
lamb and turkey. Did I men-
tion this really isn't a place
for vegetarians?
I chose lunch •o, •which
consists of soup, four fried
wantons, two shrimp, one
serving of barbecue, a baby
egg roll, rice and hot tea for
$5.25. Tilis is the most
expensive thing on their
lunch menu. What a bar·
gain!
The soup consisted of a
thin broth with lots of cab-
bage and what I think may
have been bok choy. It was •
OK, mildly flavorful with
not too much salt.
Then came the real thing
-a bowl filled with lamb
and turkey slices, ready for
me to add veggies and fla-
vor. The serving was a nice
size. They are not stingy

The premise of "Cats &

of tbe "Toy Story" series: Pets
talk and generally ronspire
when humans are not watch-
ing. Whereas the toys are
much more benign in the latter
films, the pets who inhabit this
film are all members of secret
societies who are bent on some
form of domination. ~
"Cats & Dogs" reveals that
ever since the beginning of
time, cats and dogs have
been at war. This is fairly evi-
4ent in the high place felines
bad in the Egyptian culture.
However, at some point. cats
·ceased being "man's best
friend" and lost out to the
mutts. Ever since, the cats
have been trying to recapture
their past and rightful glory.
But, the cats' plans are
placed in serious jeopardy
when an obviously delusional
scientist, Professor Brody (Jeff
Goldblum), invents a formula
that may eradicate humani-
ty's allergies to dogs.
Realizing their predica-
ment. the cats, led by Mr. Tul-
kles (Sean Hayes), attempt to
sabotage the.professor's
research and create their own
formula that would make all
hwnanity allergic to dogs. (Mr.
11nkles bears an Wlcanny
resemblan:ce to Dr. No's kitty.)
Opposing Mr. Tin.kJes' bril-
liant scheme is a pack of
seaet-mutts led by Lou
(Tobey Maguire), Butch (Alec
Baldwin) and an assortment of
other ragamuffins (voiced by,
among others, Susan Saran-
don and Charlton Heston).

The film only really has
two flaws, and one is not real-

we all know, soft furry kitties
are neither bent on world

such evil as depicted in the
film. Dogs a.re really the evil
ones we should be looking

film does push the boundaries

that accompany any entry

al Uttle League Major Division All-Stars took care
of Seaview, 9-3, in the second round of the Distnct
62 All·Sta.r Tournament Wednesday.
Valdez went 3 for 3 with four RBis and pitched
a complete-game masterpiece for the locals, who

Manager Bill Redding All-Stars litde League
said. "Everyone is con-manager
tributing, both offensively-------and defensively.•
Despite the team effort,
it was Valdez who led the charge. ·He's always m
control out there," Redding satd. ·He's a smart
pitcher who is in command on the mound and he's
a smart hitter who waits for his pitch. He's a real
leader for our team.·
Mesa used a little two-out magic to get on the
scoreboard in the bottom of the first inning when
Michael McDaniels doubled down the left-field
line and scored on a single to right by Valdez.
After a 1-2-3 second inning at the plate for
Seaview, courtesy of Valdez, Costa Mesa took
control with a four-run outburst. Austin Elliott led
off with a single, Starnes Arnold walked and
Caleb Burgess was hit by a pitch to load the bases.
After a strikeout, Trevor McDonald singled to
right, scoring Elliott for a 2-0 Mesa advantage.
Evan Van Geem followed with an single of hl.s
own, scoring Arnold.
After a runner was thrown out at the plate for
the second out, Valdez came through with a two-
run single, scoring McDonald and Van Geem for a
5-0 Mesa lead.
•Taldng an early lead makes such a differ-
ence,• Redding said. ·we were facing a pitcher
who plays on a tough travel-ball team so we knew
he could throw hard. You could see their team
start to get down a little bit, while we started to get
up a little bit.•
Valdez continued to mow down the Seaview
batting order until a two-out solo home run by
Brad Ad8lD.S in the third inning cut the lead to 5-1.
Using a strong assortment of fastballs and
breaking stuff, Valdez kept Seaview guessing at
the plate. •He would throw his off-speed pitch a
couple of times to each batter, not just once, like
