Mathis Winkler DAILY PILOT NEWPORT BEACH Councilman Dennis O'Neil did- n't think residents would care when he brought up the idea or a IUIDIDer break for Newport Beach's City Council at the body's last meeting Aug. 8. O'Neil himself had simply thought skipping a session dur- ing vacation time might end sparsely attended council meet- ings and ensure that important decisions take place with all of the city's elected representa- tives present. But after three residents rejected the idea in letters to the editor to the Daily Pilot, O'Neil said the response shocked him. "We have bottled water for employees at City Hall,• said O'Neil. "ls that something citi- zens care about?" He added that an extension of the mght limits at John Wayne Airport beyond 2005 or the annexation of Newport Coast were issues of real impor- tance that he'd like to focus on. Spending more time on the summer break suggestion made no sense, O'Neil said. "What is the benefit of dis-' cussing it any further?" he asked. "Because it doesn't make any difference to me one way or another." Summer breaks for city coun- cils have been introduced else- where. Irvine, Mission Viejo and Second warrant may delay return of steakhouse oWner Rancho Santa Margarita, for example, all take recesses m August. But the Costa Mesa City Council doesn't take time off during the summer. Councilwoman Jan Debay said that a summer intermission might not be such a bad idea. Because of term limits, Dehay will leave the council after the November election and would not be affected by a break next year.

OF THE STORY Tbe blessings of jury duty "Those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom must andergo the fatigue of sup- porting it." -Thomas Paine I lost a week last week. My schedule was already filled with appointments, dead- lines and projects when I was selected to serve on a jury. . I wrote about some of my experiences in last week's column, and I received an e-mail from a retired attorney who thanked me for writing about jury duty. He said he is always amazed at the people he hears complain about outrageous jury awards. • l then ask when it was that they last served on a jury,• he wrote. ••1 don't have time for that' is a common reply. ·Jury service is the most direct way that we citizens can affect our culture, yet most people try to avoid it. Go figure,• the man added. In my recen t experience, I saw some peo- ple try to get out of serving during the jury selection process. Understandably there are many times and situations when it would be a hardship, financial or timewise, to serve. I also know there are cases which some people could not possibly be impartial about, and they should be excused from duty. Yes, I saw some people try to get out of il Fortunately, I also saw those who were will- ing, and even some who were eager, to do their duty. We started with 45 potential jurors and after four hours. we finally had the neces- sary 12 jurors and two alternates. Only one woman remamed in the jury pool because everybody elsa had been excused for one reason or the other. I was impr'essed with. our judge and plea&ed with the final selection. I admired the seriousness which each individual gave to his or her public duty. I was proud of the student who gave up her week of vacabon, and I was proud of the young man who spent bis 21st birthday with us, a group of totlil strangers. I also was proud of the teacher who had to write lesson plans in the early morning and the reporter who conducted phone interviews during breaks. We all had to catch up on our lost days in the few hours we had at home at night. A$ the days wore on, we ended up sitting together dwing breaks and meals. I was proud to serve with such a fine group of people whom I never would have met other- wise. A friend of mine had a similar experience, and she said, "It restored my faith in people.• When the witnesses raised their hands and swore to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but. so help them God, I prayed they would do just that and that God would help them. I prayed God would help all of us jurors as well. We listened to all the evidence. We heard the witnesses, lawyers and judge. We did our duty1 we deliberated and reached a verdict. The process and the system worked. Though we were all ready to get back to our lives, there wu also some sadness that we were going our separate ways. I mAY have lost a week last week in terms of projects, but I found something much more valuable in terms of people. And you can quote me on that. . . . . ' . ...

Instead of panicking, Brown. 66, and her 40-year-old daughter, Cindy, calmly turned off the water and figured out the problem. / Then they C4lled a repairman. The Costa Mesa residents believe they were divinely guid- ed to the solution. They didn't get mad, and they didn't wonder why it had to happen. They alS9 trust that good will somehow come from the experience. Because they believe that's what Jesus would have thought.

Gall Miller of the New Thought Community Church in Costa Mesa. an independent religious science organization in which members practice disci- plining their thoughts. !

T he Daily Pilot recently published a letter from John Heffernan, who announced his candidacy for a seat on the Newport Beach Oty Council from the 7th Dis- trict. Heffernan gave his opin- ion why there weren't more candidates running for office. Heffeman's letter started out fine, then he complained about the paperwork. the disclosures and the scrutiny. Ob, great, I thought, another candidate who doesn't get it. Those elements -paper- work, disclosure and scrutiny -are the three plagues of any candidate and, eventual- ly, any officeholder. I've,.got bad news for Heffernan: The paperwork, disclosure and scrutiny are just beginning. But as I was finishing Hef- fernan's letter, it occurred to me that this guy may just have what it takes after all. Here is a fellow who spelled out a bjg e,coblem with the election process, point by point, in a most articulate Steve Smith WHAT'S UP? fashion -and then, despite all of the hurdles he outlined, decided to go ahead with his candidacy. I llke that. So, here's to all of the folks who have thrown their hats into the ring. Thank ypu for keeping' the system alive. One of those I'm happy to see running is the amazing Jean Forbath of Costa Mesa, who founded the local pover- ty lifeline known as Share Our Selves. Forbath bas decided that she can make a difference as (Mnawn] Ahnond Butter • Commercial • Organic ~~ a member of the Coast Com- munity College District Board of nustees. In an interview with the Daily Pilot, Forbatb said, •Education can help the peo- ple that I work with break the vicious cycle of poverty. In this day and age, (educa- tion) is cQ,tical to living a sat- isfied and productive life.• Actually. I'm sorry that Forbath is running for the college board I bad hoped to nominate her for the new position of "Supreme Helper.• I figure that if we can have someone in the government to head the lRS and make sure we're paying our taxes, and Jots of people making sure we register our motor vehicles, we could also have someone to make sure we're helping each oth- er, too. No, I'm not serious. I'm the last person who'd ever vote to establish a new government body to watch over us. But it seems to me that we're so busy monitor- ing the negatives in our lives that we could use someone who is encouraging us to do some good. Forbath is a •walker,• as opposed to a •talker, • and if she's elected, yo11 can be sure that things on the board will be different. Her contention that edu- cation makes a d\fference in people's lives is a message she should deliver to our school board. The kids on the West Side. the ones with the very low test scores, still have no representative in public office who is willing to help them in any meaningful way. Education does make a difference, and the earlier kids and parents understand that, the better their chances for success. Perhaps Forbath can start a •college track• program for kids in the elementary schools on the West Side who do not have the role models to encourage them to study and team. In the early grades, per- haps second or third, kids and parents can enter a pro- gram that tells the kids spe- cific steps they will have to take, month by month, to get into a good college, or any college. The program is monitored early and often to catch any-· one not keeping up and pro- vide the help they need to get back on track. I'd rather have these kids turned around now while they are young then to have Forbath catch some of them at Share Our Selves later on in life. This, to me, is a good investment and if our school board won't irullate it, per- haps the college board will. Something tells me that Forbath is way ahead of me on this concept and that we'll hear more from her in the coming weeks. · So, filing time is over.

Saturday, August 19, 2000 AS NEWP!RT B~ACH PLllllHNG COMMISSION WUP·UP WHAT HAPPENED: Planning commissioners approved remod- eling designs for Coco's Restaurant and Bak- ery in Corornt del Mar. Commissioner Larry Tucker did nq_t join the meeting untJI after the vote due to a conflict of interest. WHAi II MEANS: Coco's will increase its din- .1ing area and add an outdoor patio, which will remain open from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. Tony Barr, the restaurant's vice president of deve._ opment, said the company would demolish the building in 14 years, when the lease expires, if it can't get the lease renewed for the adjacent prbperty. Part of the new building will sit on the neighboring plot. which also serves as a parking lot for the restaurant. WHAT THEY SAID: "14 years from now, we're creating another eyesore if the lease isn't continued. ... I understand that there are a lot of ugly buildings in Newport Beach. My desire was not to add one more." -Commissioner Michael C. Kranzley. WHAT HAPPENED: Commissioners denied an application for an animated sign displaying time and tem- perature at First Republic Back on East Coast Highway. The commissioners said the sign wo~ld set a bad precedent by deprivi ng the city of control over its advertising. WHAT IT MEANS: The bank will not be able to install the sign, which would have stood out from the side of the wall. WHAT THEY SAID: "I know what time it is and the only time people want to know the temperature is when it's over 100 or I~ than zero." - Commissioner Earl McDaniel WHAT HAPPENED: Commissioners adopted a resolution of intent to amend sign regulations for the Bal- boa Peninsula. WHAT IT MEANS: The commission can now hold a public hearing on the proposed sign addendum for Balboa Peninsula. The "overlay," which will supplement the city's sign ordinance, would encourage business owners to install cre- ative signs. In the first year of the pro- gram, the city would pay for removal and disposal of old signs and assist with the graphic design for new ones. The city would also pay for construction of new signs and waive all fees for sign permits. The incentives would decrease in the fol - lowing years. Fifteen years after the new sign overlay is adopted, all signs that don't fit the new requirements would have to be removed. A federal community develop- ment block grant will pay for the program.

Other buddleia have long, dark green leaves that pro- vide year-round texture to your landscape. The variety of available buddleia is overwhelmirlg. . The color choices are plenti- ful: creamy yellow suffused with lilac pink; deep, vivid purple that looks like a spire of dark velvet; pale lavender; pwe white; and golden orange. In addition to the bud- dleia, there are other floral choices for your garden that will encourage butterflies to visit. Perennials that have the ·right stutr include lantana, coreopsis, cone- flowers and lark.spur. Wiste- ria vines are also a spectac- ular choice for butterflies.

They come in droves to the weekly open-air stands in Newport and Costa Mesa to buy farm-fresh produce and locally made foods. Certified farmers markets have been set up through out California for more than 20 years, ever since then-Gov. Jerry Brown signed a proclamation that allowed nonstan- dard-size produce to be sold at low prices to consumers rather than being canned or plowed under. This measure was supposed to benefit the poor and elderly, said Nancy Castor, manager of the Cos- ta Mesa market held at the Orange County Fairgrounds. Decades later, both the financial- ly challenged and the financially fulfilled are finding delicate, hydro- ponically grown arugula, plwn-red Japanese tomatoes and creamy Hass avocados that are harvested nearly year-round.

Saturday, August 19, 2000 AJS LEnER OF THE WEEK Cominunity still awaiting justice Principal thanked for work at Ensign Justice is not always swift. The clock has been ticking. Hands have been turning cal- endar pages. And the Newport-Mesa community bas been waiting for more than a year to watch as justice is carried out. In May 1999, Steven Allen Abrams sat behind the wheel of his Cadillac. Who knows what thoughts ran through his mind as bis foot applied pres- sure to the pedal and he steered the car onto the play- ground in Costa Mesa's South- coast Early Childhood Leam- ing Center. Abrams, 40, has pleaded not guilty by reason of insani- ty to ai.mi.nal charges stem.- ming from the incident. His actions took the lives of two young children and left several others hurt. The crimes with which he is charged -murder and attempted murder -are heinous. Nothi:b.g can era~e what happened, but trials are often a catalyst for victims' families and loved ones; sometimes a verdict indicates a tangible end to a horrible nightmare. MAILBAG Challenging the GOP to add more compassion Regarding Joseph Bell's column ("Speaking personally, GO P's views on gays 'just plam dumb,'_ Aug. 10): Speaking personally, the Republican view on gays is "just plain dumb.· Io touting compassion and chal- lenging hypocrisy, Bell echoes the work of Jesus and his followers. I hope all who profess Christianity can soon catch up to this standard. It's tremendously freeing and spiri- tually uplifting to discover, as did the late Sen. Sany Goldwater, that we can receive gay family and friends as good dtiz.en.s, as co-wor- shipers and as beloved community.

The prosecution has accused Abrams of deliberate- ly plotting a collision course with the children. If he is found guilty, Abrams could be sentenced to death. This week, a jury was selected to determine his innocence or guilt. His insanity defense means the jurors must decide if he was unable to discern between right and wrong. In the courtroom drama that will continue to play out, the jury -and the public -will hear arguments about Abrams' mental state. They will hear testimony by experts and parents and witnesses. They will replay the scene, remember the day, relive the pain -and hope for a speedy trial. H ere we go again. The New- port-Mesa Unified School District is losing a dynamic prin- cipal to another school district ("Newport-Mesa's principal problem concerns parents,• Aug. 10). What a crime we could not hold on to Newport Beach's Ensign Intermediate School Prin- cipal Allen Mucerino and bis outstanding leadership. We are so glad that we were lucky enough to have two great years at Ensign under Mucerino. He is one of those principals who makes you believe your student is being well taken care of with someone like him running your school. From the first PTA meeting, he held the ioomtul of people's interest with goals he had set for the students and the school. When it was time for basket- ball, be was there in his sweats - coaching and working out with ~the girls (not to leave out that our girls went undefeated for two years!). And he was just very visi- ble and approachable at all times. We bad heard through the grapevine around promotion time that Mucerino was interested in the possibility of principal at NeWp<>rt Harbor High School We would have been very happY to have bad him for four more yea.rs. But alas, La Paz Intermediate School in Mission Viejo is going to benefit from a great principal. We wish Mucerino the very best for the future and thank him for two super years at Ensign! THE TRIPP FAMILY Costa Mesa erwise. Uthe dty goes ahead with this very unpopular plan, could it be that Costa Mesa pays no attention to its citizens? Some say council members deserve a break, others say they need to work harder DUKE GAUAGHER Costa Mesa AT ISSUE: The Daily Pilot reported that the Newport Beach City Council was discussing thecpossibility of canceling a few meetings to make time for a summer break -something done by nearby city councils and even Congress. ·I was pleased to see your editorial, supporting the City Council sugges- tion for a break during the summer when members do not have to meet. If the need arises, special meet- ings are always possible. Then I read Nancy Penn's letter, which declared, ·u two meetings a month is too much, maybe this is not the rtght job for them.• Perhaps Penn should investigate further. U she does, she'll discover that what we see on community cable 1V Channel 3 is but a small fraction of the time that council members spend on city business. Each of the members sits on oth- er committees that meet regularly. • They all attend homeowners meet- ings and special events, and work with dty st4.f1 on constituent prob- lems -be it zoning or beautifica- tion. They alio have working meet- ., ings to review staff reports and oth- er documents. They do all this in their spare time, all the Readers ;~~=~es IESPOND toaiticism, regardless of its legitimacy. I agree with the Pilot editorial. We all do better jobs when we take that occasional rest. I rest my case. LAURA BEKEART DIETZ Corona del Mar They swe don't make 'em like ~ uaed to in the olden days. Io 1974 to 1978, the City Council held study sessions from 1 to 5 p.m . Council meetings rarely ended at midnight -and with a lively issue they went until 2 a .m . For City Council members in those years, the financial and bene· fits package was smaller by half compared to now and the perks carefully monitored and reported . Sitting on the City Council was a privilege, a job not to be taken lightly. Vacation time was never considered. Despite these constraints, indeed it was civilized, with a studied team approach. to economy and efficiency in government. along with the pro- motion of that quality of life whic:b is special to Newport Beach.

On the men's side, look for senior J osh Schultz and sophomore Dan Davis to be at or near the top of VU's pack. Both team captains, Schultz posted an SK personal-best time of 27:08, with Davis (28:33) close behind him. Senior Steve Lalim (26:32) looks to be another top returner and combined with freshman Shawn Johnson (27:33), depth throughout the squad appears evident.

One of them was the Garden Grove Billiards Club, close to Shere Coker grew up. Like the wholesom#l eading lady of the '60s, her billiards clubs were nice places, but that's not to say thdt Coker stayed completely out of the tank with the pool sQitrks. "I went to a ttruple of the seedier places to go against some of the better players,· Coker said. "But 1 can't say too much about that. ·r can safely say that I saw some games for $20,000 and up at Las Vegas with some very powerful people. But that's all I want to say. I don't want to end has grown. He also saw an increasmg demand for Jus skills with trick shots That has led Coker to several high-profile gigs. He perfonned at Arnold Schwarzenegger's SOth birthday party and did the tricks in Budweiser's "Ladies Night• commercial and an upcommg Playboy Playmate video with Miss September. But Coker's favorite performances a.re not in a billiards hall, but in a concert hall. He has pursued his passion for smging as fervently as billiards, with Carohng Connecuons soon to be launched. Coker picked up singing before billiards. He started when be was 4 years old. He attended college at Arizona State, Redlands d.Od Citrus College on a music scholarship up at the bottom of Lake Mead,· Cillvln Coke r Coker said with a laugh. Coker has dppeared m some musicals, mcludmg ·Forever Plrud • at the Pacific COdSt Theater and •Jubilee" at Las Vegas. He then brought his musical expenence to teachmg Ironically, wtule "The Hustler• made thumb-breaking thugs and smoky underground parlors synonymous with billiards, 1t was its 1986 sequel, "The Color of Money• with Newman and Tom Crwse, which brought billiards into the mainstream. ·After 'The Color of Money' came out. there was a resurgence in billiards,• Coker said. "A lot of upscale places opened up. A lot of people who never played billiards before came in. And that drove the seedier elements away." Ever since "The Color of Money,· Coker's 20-year investinent in the teaching business and currently teaches an actmg class, auditioning techruques, at Golcien West College. ·r love them both equdlly, • Coker said. ·u I had to give one up, I would miss one Just as much as the other • With acting and bilhMds classes to teach, leagues to run and Caroling Connections starting up, Coker continues to enjoy doing what he loves most, playing billiards and singing. ·1 got to say I'm pretty lucky," Coker said. "I'm pretty lucky thdt I cdfl play billiards and have music to fall back on.• Do you realize you can drive a Mercedes .. Benz M ..
