"We're supposedly a nation of democracy. But the only p eople who have a say here are investors, CEOs and the rich elite. The average worker does not get represented."

"But the of\ly people who have a say here are investors, CEOs and the rich elite. The average worker doe11 not get represent- ed." Bender, 24, said she was driven to activism two years ago after reading books by Ralph Nader and Noam Chomsky -two spokesmen for the downtrod- den. She's become an outspoken -and nonviolent -supporter of labor unions and opponent of multinational corporations. And she's connected hundreds of like-minded activists on the Internet. She's hosting three protesters she met on the Internet in her small apartment. One is a col- lege professor, another a law stu- dent, the third a medical stu- dent. "There will be a lot of people uniting under the same umbrel- la of social justice," said Her- mine Bender, a Costa Mesa- based labor rights advocate. •A network of environmentalists, teamsters, human rights advo- cates.

Later, I wrote at my laptop computer on a tippy table in a noisy, little room. There were several people in here, gatbei:ed on two little couches, quietly reading from a vast assortment of magazines and newspa- pers. There were also seven pay phopes in the ropm, and they were all in use. Unfortunately this is not an ideal situa- tion, but it's a situation worth writing . about. I am juror N.o. 12 on a criminal case. It's lunch break for the group and writing time for me. I have served on juries before. My summons to appear never arrives at a convenient time, as is true with most . . everyone I know. Portlmately, however, we live in a country that has laws and systeID.$ aimed at protecting the innocent and pros- ecuting the guilty. Though this isn't how I would have ini- tially chosen to spend these days, I decid- ed to make the best of it and be the best juror I can be. The same is generally true of those I have served with in the past 1 ..know.tnat if 1 were in a situatic;>n thaf . .' needed a jury, I would want the jurprs to- take their jobs seriously. ' One friend summed up this thinking by saying: ·1 would want me on the jury.• For those of you who have not served on a jury, it's a memorable experience long before you even make it to a court- room. People keep pretty much to them- selves at first. It reminds me of being on an elevator where everybody stares ahead or looks down. Before long though, people have either gravitated to their books or begun conversations with those around them. . . 1\vo women seated behind me'were swapping recipes and sharing stories before we received our initial instructions. Apparently one of them bad a good expe- rience with jury duty before, having met someone who gave her a good tip. •1 got to kilow another woman on my last case, and she told me about a job she thought I might be suited tor. I've loved working there ever since,• my jury col- league said. ·1 like to think God has peo- ple and events in my life for a reason.· •That sounds like a great way to look at life,• responded the other woman. I agree. And that is how I am viewing this jury service, which is not over yet. J am now bade at home, putting the fin- IBhing touches on this column. I am anxious to see what unfolds in the courtroom and to get to know my fellow jurors during our breaks. I am also looking forward to working with them to reach a just and fair verdict.

Doily Pilot Soturdoy, August 12, 2000 A3 A 1 O-year-0/d gets hooked on city politics after council meeting 0 ur family attended the Costa Mesa City Council meeting Mon- day to persuade its members to leave Fairview Park the way it is. Plans for the •development• of the park include a lot more concrete and what others believe are improvements. Our daughter, Bean, was particularly upset, so much so that she mustered up the courage to speak to the council during the public- conunent portion of the meeting. But before it was Bean's turn, a number of other citi- zens mustered up something else -not cobrage -to speak to the council. 1\vo speakers stood out One was a man who was complaining about the p~es ence of some bottle rocket remnants near his property. The man brought the parts to the meeting to make his point, but I'm still not sure what his point was. He did Steve Smith WHAT'S UP? not ask the council members to do anything, and I'm not sure they could have helped had he asked. Fireworks on the Fourth of July a.re a way of life in this town, and unless we develop a history of large fires or personal injuries because of them, they are here to stay. And that's a good thing. It's ironic to me that we allow 16-year-olds to get behind the wheel of a car - a-dangerous weapon -but some cities wW not allow fireworks to be sold to adults. Teenage drivers have proved to be danger- ous, and my guess is that they cause far more proper- ty damage and personal injury each year than the fireworks that are legal one day each July. Kids tiring off bottle rock- ets on the Pour'th of July are bard to round up. That's not to state that we should sim- ply give in or give up; after all, bottle rockets are flying flamethrowers. But our Police Department has finite resources and it could very well be that this is not a pri- ority during the hectic Inde- pendence Day. But I digress. The other stand-out speaker came to complain about the last in a series of outdoor concerts sponsored by the Costa Mesa Parks and Recreation Department. The concert, held' al breath- taking Vista Park, was a smashing success. The city rolled out its portable stage, a hot Latin band played and young and old were danc- ing the dusk away. The woman's complaints? Noise, and the style of music cho- sen by the city. "I like to choose my own music,• she sald. Then she stormed up the•aisle. A smarweal estate agent would have told this cur- mudgeon about College Park in Costa Mesa and offered to help her find a house there. Having led the charge to rid the area of both the Pacific Amphitheater and Cirque du Soleil, city concerts should not be much of a problem for College Park residents. This lady was so adamant that I don't care if I ever see her again in the council chamber. One more rant like that and she'll put me out of a job. As she stood in line for her chancetospeak,Bean exchanged Smilli!S and waves with Mayor Gary Monahan. 1bi.s is a good point to mention why I love Costa Mesa. We have an outstanding City Council, and even though I may not agree with the members on certain issues, I believe that this is an intelligent, hard- working and honest group. Ours is a city that works and it does so because of their effort and energy. That they are also nice people is a huge benefit. Imagine the thrill for a scared 10-year- old girl to suddenly see the mayor smiling and waving at you. Bean stood at the micro- phone and spoke for about two minutes. Her extempo- raneous comments included something about leavmg nature alone and being able to have her grandkids see the park the way IS is now when they grow up. I'm not sure or the rest because I was lost in her courage and the clarity of her thoughts. ·Organlc (Mutlaers ) SQuaw Bread • Pitted Pnmes · •Apricots ~62':!

Bean, who was nearly all the way up the 50-foot aisle, walked back to the micro- phone, leaned in with a dra- matic pause and said, "Yes." and walked back to her seat.

The swell activity was a lit- tle hazardous for inexperi- enced surfers and swimmers. Capt.

Rival company could get deal to install cameras. Noald Schwartz ~LY PILOT NEWPORT BEACH - After more than a year of negotiations, the City Council ~ hoping to get more money from a new suitor -walked away from a deal with an estab- lished Web site vendor that offered lifeguards cameras to keep an eye on swimmers. Surfline Inc. officials said they were backing out of the deal -which was supposed to be cemented at Tuesday's council meetiflg -when another Internet company jumped in a t the last minute offering to sweet- en the pot with money. ·we're probably just going to back out of this whole thing now,· Sur- fline Preside nt Sean Collins said. ·we had a formal proposal to the city. And then there was all this confusion and mis- trust.• l-laJ"dCloud, d similar company that dlso pro- vides information on surf conditions, offered .the city as much as $7,000 annual· ly. This prompted council members to reconsider the original offer which would not have netted the city any money. Hearing Uus, the coun- cil instructed the fire chief to meet with representa- tives Crom both companies and compile the informa- tion for a future meeting. City officials said they had no idea there were other companies that could pro- vide similar services. ·To be honest we're definitely interested tn striking a deal,• Hard- Cloud spokesman Jim Kempton said. •it's always good for the citY to have revenue for services.• HardCloud plans on starting negotiations with the city m September. The plQ.D between the city and Surfline was to install video equipment at the aty's lifeguard head- quarters at Newport pie r. In exchange for bemg allowed to install the cam- era on publlc property, the city would get access to the company's two other "surf cams" at 56th 'Street and the Wedge. The cameras would come in handy particular- ly dunng the off-season when there are only five lifeguards watching the beaches in companson to 60 jn the summer, life- guard Capt. Enc Bauer said. HardCloud is mterest- ed m a sunilar dedl in wtuch a camera would be mounted ·at hfeguard headquarters. However, Ke mpton said they coul9 offer five additional cam· era venues at 30th Street, 36th Street, 54tt-Street, 56th Street and Hlack.te's The· more views lhe site qm offer, the more vtew- ers and the more advert.JS· ing potential, Kempton explained. Still, Surfline countered that they have better tech· nology and have already established sirmlar rela- tionstups with other cibes in California.

According to ABT executive director Louis Spisto, 1t was very appropriate for the center to be selected as the Calliorrua site considering the working relation- ship the two creative forces have experienced since 1986. "It is a wonderful hrst for us to be at the center,• said Spisto, the former executive director of the Pacific Symphony Orchestra. •And really it only mak~ sense since we were among the cen- ter's first companies presented and have been returning almost every year.• Jerry Mandel, the center's ·president, agrees with lus long- time frie nd that matching the two institutions was a natural fit.

Dally, P.ilOt BRIAN POBUOA I OM.Y Pl.OT American Ballet Theater Instructor Leslie Browne leads a group of students in a ballet routine during the summer intensive dance program at The Center. BALLET FROM PAGE A 13 The program, which tries to intermix young dancers · throughout the nation, costs $1,000 per student, although scholarships are available. Next year, Spisto says, a yet-undisclosed filth site will be added to the program. He said the summer courses, which were started in the mid-1990s, have received positive reviews from stu- dents and parents. "The first evaluation is: Did the dancers receive a good experience and did they grow? The second is bow many dancers go on professionally? We do not expect 500 young students to become professionills, but to get to the point where they are able and comfortable enough to do that if they chose,• Spisto said. "We hope all the students will love the dance and be part of it whether they are dancing or part of the audience." Spisto said this summer's program has already pro- duced seven young dancers, who will join the ABT Studio Co., a training ground in which young dancers may move on to the full company within tWo years. · "That is saying a lot about a studio which has dancers from all over the world, yet has accepted seven young students from a summer intensive. It tells you we are attracting and developing quite a high level of talent,• he said. And as it evolves, Spisto said, the summer program continues to build a reputa- tion as a place for "really good young dancers.· •It is an environment that allows young dancers lo excel,• he said. •Although, we do not run a program with a single goal of attract- ing dancers to ABT, but rather our primary objective is to serve students through- out the country.• But il 14-yeaN>ld Kristen Mcisaac of Fountain Valley has it her way, one day she will be dan~g for the com- pany. "I was checking the mail every day because it was very, very important for me lo be here,• said Kristen, who had just finished a poinle class and admitted it was "very difficult.• "I know I am going lo be a stronger dancer because of the new techniques and style of dance I will be learning.• Enjoy a Spacious Suite, Sumptuous Dining, Entertainment, Bingo, Crafts, Billiards, Beauty Salon, Transportation to Doctor, Shopping, Fun Trips, Friendly Caring People.

Cook THE CROWD I n many communities there are people who become invaluable resources based on their genero\15 spirit, their con- stant activism and willing- ness to get involved. In Orange County, Peggy Goldwater Clay is one such PE!rson. Her gift of spirit comes from a mother who set an example for her daughter in the realm of community service, and of course from her father, for- mer United States Sen. Barry Goldwater, who was on the line for many things that he believed in through- out a rough and tumble career of distinguished ser- vice to the community, to the state and to the nation. Peggy Goldwater Clay and Harvey Alexander Smith. Goldwater Clay carries on this tradition here in our midst, and I dare say that this town and this county would be a great deal less fortunate Wlthout her. And let me add, it is not because of money. Yes, Newport Beach's Goldwater Clay family donates to many causes, supports charities and orga- niutions by attending events, buying tickets and more. But it is her gift of wanting to be involved, wanting to make a differ- ence, that makes her special. Goldwater Clay's latest project is the Capistrano Pageant. Staged last week to tum-away crowds in old San Juan Capistrano, the historical pageant, which is the crowning star of what is known as California Her- itage Week, managed to make a strong six-figure box office tally covering all costs for the massive production Performed by a cast of professional actors and directed by James Taulll. ·Freedom From: WEIGHT PROBLEMS EATING DISORDERS ADDICTIONS DEPRESSION Affordable, Confidential Professional Help • Former Betty Ford Center Clinician • Director of Drug & AJcohol Treatment • Author of Glftl of Sobriety & other self help books Call tor info: Barbara Cole, Mn (714) 429-0888 SAVE MONEY! · SAVE TIME! the show tells the story of the Old Mission incorporat- ing music, drama and even humor. •Gosh we need a few good laughs, don't we?• said Goldwater Clay. ·0ur California hentage is really very rich and won- derfully interesting, and this mission is a living, breathing relic of that past We are for- tunate that it stands proudly today and this pageant helps to bring it to life in full and vibrant color,· sbe added. •1t•s one thing to talk about history, and yet another to actually touch it. We can touch it here at the Mission.• A large contingent of Newport-Mesa citizens, along with Orange Coast · dignitaries, supported Gold- water Clay and the project, including most notably, hon- orary chairs Joan lrvtne Smith and Santa Ana Mayor Miguel Pulido. The presi- dent of the Mission Pageant Foundation is Harvey Smith of Irvine Cove. Smith, hus- band of Unda lrvtne, also served as executive produc- er and writer of the show. Additional support came from ll!ta Gibby and Ste'Ve Clugston, who chaired the living history portion.

Wouldn't people drive to the mystical Newport Beach to catch a glimpse of Bogie? It seems like the cycles are repeating. With all -of the complaints residents lodge to the police and the City Council, it is no wonder why our students are not succeeding in our schools; everyone is focusing on the red heni.ng, Rodman. As Pilot columnist Gay Geiser-Sandoval (satirically) suggested, maybe there would be more attention given to the school board if Rodman decided to run (•Forget the City Coun- cil, get Rodman to run for the school board: Aug. 1). People would attend board meetings and possibly even discuss strategies for student success and interventions for student nonachievement. Rodman alone cannot be respqnsible for the ills of Newport Beach and its progeny. · I agree that Rodman has the responsibility to be a good citi- zen, but Newport Beach and the rest of California (America for that matter) has a responsi .. billty to the youth of today and tomorrow. Once again, neither Charles Barkley nor Dennis Rodman are role models that children should be looking toward for dvic examples. Parents, clergy, com- munlty leaders and teachers are.

With a cap- ital T and that rhymes with P and that stands for "prin- Ah, actually it's principal. But we do know there's trouble. With less than a month to go Qefore school starts, four principal vacancies remain unfilled. That just can't be good for the students or staff of the schools - Costa Mesa and Newport Harbor high schools and Ensign Intermediate and Mariners Elementary schools -to head into the schooi year with no top leader- ship. Supt. Robert Barbot said the district has been intentionally deliberate in picking the principals, wanting to make sure each school gets the best possible candidate. Problem is, this is all-too-familiar ter- ritory for many parents and teachers, who have to again anxiously wait for a new principal to be hired. There's delib- erate and then there's too slow. Six principals have left the school dis- trict since classes ended in June. liustee Martha Auor said about five or six prin- cipals have resigned each year since she's been on the board, a span of near- ly a decade. Longevity -something to value in a principal -is becoming extinct in Newport-Mesa. The superintendent and trustees need to find out what the trouble is. Is pay an issue? Then find a way to pay them more. The district's teachers were woe- fully underpaid for many years, and the trustees found a way to take care of them. But there's a difference between teachers and principals. The teachers, though underpaid, stayed in place for the most part. The principals haven't. We suspect there's something more going that's driving nearly a quarter of the district's principals away each year. Their job is tough: balancing the desires of their district bosses, teachers, parents and students. Drive by any school in the early morning or late in the evening, and there's a good chance you'll see the principal's car in the parking lot. Principals, like any of us, want to be appreciated. They want to be support- ed. They want the freedom to achieve. The district needs to figure out what it hasn't been deliv_ering. There's enough trouble to deal with in Education City without having the sheriffs walking out of town with each sunset. Sharing fields is b~st for the children AT ISSUE: We asked readers what they thought about AYSO regions from Costa M esa and Newport Beach sharing field time at the Farm Sports Complex. 0 ur community has been Called Newport·M~ for many years.

PHYWS TRUESDEU East Costa Mesa Regarding AYSO Region 97 (Newport Beach) using the new Costa Mesa sports complex ... it seems only fair if there is room. Especially because Newport Beach was disproportionately taxed by Measure A to help Costa Mesa schools. JEANNE CURRY Newport Coost I am an AYSO volunteer coach. We invite the Costa Mesa players to participate in the Newport 97 region for the benefit of the chll- dren.

How we get along and share our resources reflects on us as leaders, citizens and parents. Our children (eventually) mimic; our actions and bow we treat each other. The fields are a ptemium. All we need to do is work on the coordination of the fields with the spirit of participation. Allow Costa Mesa to have first choice for its division, but allow some.time for Region 97, as so many Costa Mesa youth participate in the Newport division. This ts not about splitting par-· ticipation along city boundaries. This is about our children playing with each other regardless of boundaries. Remember, this is all for our children. AL MARSHAU t'Jewport Beach Because taxpayers' money was spent to purchase and build these fields, they should not be used for only one special group such as AYSO Region 120.11iere are at least 3,000 to 4,000 other players in Costa Mesa who should be able to share the use of these fields. If AYSO wants to pay for the use of the fields as other organizations a.re charged for their use, the field time should be dlvlded between all interested organization without priority to AYSO. TERRY FERGUSON Costa Mesa 'rbe city should allow Newport Beach to use the soccer fields at the Fann Sports Complex beoause we are one school district. known as Newport-Mesa. How d.i.fticult is that?

The Tea Cup Classic, which completed the first four-dub rotation or host sites this year, was designed for the four ladies dub champi- ons in a one-day shootout, which seemed like the OK Corral at times Friday. It was also created to promote a day for women's golf and bring the golf community closer together.

'" / 84 Sotutdoy. August 12, 2000 SPORIS . . GOLD FILLINGS Hunt for dorado is underway. H uge schools of dorado have moved into channel waters and are producing very exciting fishing for local anglers. Water conditions are ideal and when a hungry school of fish is located under a floating kelp paddy, the action can be explosive. With almost the entire Newport Harbor-based sport fleet and many private yachts out hoping to find the right paddy, it's getting pretty competitive on the ocean. when it comes time to feed, anglen are booking them on sardines, mackerel and anchovies. Also, effective for enticing a dorado that won't take live bait are bright feathers and Rapa.las. Most of the dorado are on the small side, weighing in the 8-to 12-pound class, at least those that are willing to bite, but there are larger fish that just aren't real hungry yet. As these fish become settled in a little more; the . •!i-1 ' . J l.~ Jim Niemiec OUTDOORS One of the larger do.rado caught this week was landed by Greg Harold of Balboa, who decked a 17•/2-pounder while fishing on board the charter boat Caliber, operating out of Davey's Locker at the Pavilion. Harold booked the exotic fish on an anchovy fishing a paddy in blue water about 10 miles west of Laguna Beach. Off-shore islands are also producing good action on how far to the west schools o1 albacore and bluefin tuna are biting. The ocean temp is in the high 60s southwest of the .t3 Fathom Spot and there is a good chance that albles and tuna will move inside the east end or San Clemente Island and put on a good show before the end of the month. Boats are racing from.one paddy to the next and there have have been some angry words exchanged between captains of anglers when more than one boat tries to move in on a school of feeding dorado. bile could improve to where every bait that hits the water is eaten by a dorado. yellowtail, barracuda and calico bass. The all-day boat Thunderbird fished San Clemente Island during a luU in albacore H$bing this week and really got into some excellent ~ction on big -tails.• The marlin bite has cooled off, big time. Water temps are good, there are plenty of greenback and big Spanish mackerel in channel waters, but for some reason, billflsh just are not showing up around high spots and we are getting pretty much into the traditional marlin season. &.ty and local surf fishing continues good for a variety of small ·game fish. Spotted bay bass and a Schools of dorado numbering over 100 are not uncommon to the channel, with a more reasonable expectation of 10-to 20 fish per . . paddy. In addition to the dorado, the same kelp can hold big yellowtail weighing up to 30 pounds. Balboa Island resident Lynn Cathcart fished on board the Bongos a earlier this week and caught both dorado and yellowtail while fishing with tbe Newport Harbor Lady Anglers group. The anglerettes •charteredJ>otb six-pack charter boats Steve Parks of Costa Mesa fished the island on Tuesday and booked into a 28-pound yellow thai chomped down on a sardine. . few legal halibut are what bodlers in the bay are catching on live bait and plastics. Surf anglers fishing between the Balboa and Newport piers and around the rock jetties are catching good numbers of barred perch along with a few corbina and croaker with the bait of choice beirig live crabs. Dorado have not been too picky from Bongos Sportsfishing Charters and enjoyed good fishing a few miles off Dana Point. Tue sport boat has been mixing fishing trips to the islands with albacore runs out to open waters depending on sea conditions and SWlllMlllG Newport duo continues at U.S. trials INDIANAPOLIS, 1nc1: -Newport Har- bor High girls swim· ming standouts Carly Geebr and Nicole Mackey continued to ~ their Olympic triU ~ Pri· day, each com~ in~events.

Corona del Mar eJiminated, 6-5 • Sea Kings give SD Shores a tougher battle this time around. Joseph Boo OAJLY PILOT LAKE FOREST -The result was the same the second time around, but it was a much different game. Corona del Mar High's 18-and-under boys water team found itself in one of those tense, too-close-for-comfort battles with San Diego Shores A in the U.S. Water Polo Junior Olympics champi- onship bracket game at El Toro High Fri- day morning .. But it was a lot different then Wednes- day's meeting between these two, a 14-4 win by San Diego Shores. The Sea Kings ultimately lost Friday, 6-5, to complete play in the Junior Olympics, but a what difference 48 hours can make. All pretenses of another San Diego Shores blowout was wiped out in the first quarter whe n it scraped together just two WATER POLO goals in the first half. CdM's defense was stifling and goalie Sherwin Kim made some point-blank saves, six in all. Marcello Pantuli.ano put the Sea Kings on the scoreboard with a minute before the half. That goal started a rnini-CdM spurt. With 16 seconds left before half- time, Garrett Bowlus tied the game at 2-2. When the second half got underway; Pantuliano scored again on a six-on-five to give the Sea Kings their first lead against San Diego after six quarte.rs. "We were a lot more patient the sec- ond time around," said Marc Hunt, a CdM assistant filling in for U.S. Men's National Coach John Vargas. · San Diego tied tbe game after Pantu- llano's second score. but Bowlus respond- ed when he scored right in front of the goal. CdM had a 4-3 lead until the end of the third quarter when San Diego retali- ated. San Diego started the fourth quarter with two goals. Michael Mar<.h M:ored for CdM with a minute and a hcill left in the game, but that's as close as CdM could make it. Also on Friday, Newport Harbor's 18- and-under boys water polo team defeat- ed Royal from Simi Valley, B-7 in a Junior Olympic consolation game at Villa Park High to wrap up play. Ryan Cook scored three goals, . Steve Jendrusina scored twice and goalies Brandon McClain (five saves) and Shawn Johnson (four saves) were tough in the goal. CdM's 16-and-under boys water polo team lost its final I.Junior Olympic game Thursday afternoon to Northern Illinois, 6-5 at El Modena High. The Sea Kings scored three times in the third quarter to cut a deficit to 5-4. Ali Kattan, David' DiRocco, Ryan Moore, Jared Vargas and Kevin Amendt each scored a goal for CdM. Sea King goalie Beau Stockstill made six saves and Tyler Brundage had five. ..
