No, it's not the All Alaskan Pig Races. The magician? Good guess, but it's not him either. Nor is it the singers, the dancers, the Livestock or the exhibits. That's because the best event at the fair -at least for the Daily Pilot's photography staff -is people watching. · Where else can you see a child car- ried next to an enormous stuffed dog on her father's shoulders. How about a man in a kooky hat? Or a child stooping to pet a goat? Watching the performers ready themselves offstage is nearly as enter- taining as watching the audience dur- ing hypnotist Mark Yuzuik's show . For the price of a movie, you get to see more characters than in any of this year's summer blockbusters. Tum to Page 6 and you'll get the picture. flOM lllDY, WITH LOR ..,.

But Tuesday's 4·3 NEWPORT vote in favor of the IEICll plan pushed the expansion onto the Nov. 20 ballot. A special election -paid for by Koll officials -will be held on that day. The citywide vote is required under Greenlight, the city's new slow-growth law, which puts cer- tain general plan amendments before residents. Tuesday's close vote -counc;il freshmen Steve Bromberg, John Heffernan and Gary Proctor rejected the project -seemed to reflect growing opposition against the expansion from vocal commu- nity activists. Greenlight supporters -have saidthatthey'llcampaignagainst the project, but Koll officials coun- tered that they will put out the facts and let residents dedde. The expansion, which includes a 10- story office tower and two parking structures, would be located at Koll Center's southern tip,.near the intersection of Jamboree Road and MacArthur Boulevard. The two sides are likely to use the city's Nov. 3 •visioning festi- val• as a venue to get their mes-· sage across. City officials will host a get-together for residents on that day to talk about the city's pending general plan update. -Mlldtls Wlf*lercoven Newport e.«h.

Sometimes, what may seem like the smallest of stories are the most touching. It's not evel)' day that there's a big tire or a prea.lden- uaI visit, but there are, always, stories to tell In the communiUes that we cover. On th18 day, one of my CJ88.ignments was to photo- graph a family caring tor three two-week-old ldttena whe>11e mother had dlsappeared. It's something most of us have experienced in one way or another, deal- ing with a traumaUc situation involving the lamlly pet, and yet it's something that more often than not will never appear In the paper. Aa I sat with the family in their living room, lJsten- lng to them describe how hard it la to care tor the kit- tena and how upaet they are over the mysterious loss of the mother cat, I thoughl about my own pets and how much I care about them. And I VJoughl of how to theae people, on th18 day, th18 situation la probably much more Important and preBBlng than anything el.ae going on In the world around them. I really do hope that the UtUe kittens grow up hap- py and healthy, and that the mother cat retW718 home.

It was started 17 years ago by a Lookl~· BACK teacher named Fabian Gif<>ux. Until then, the high school relics had been strewn about , the campus. During the mid-80s, re\ifed math teacher Web Jones helped Giroux organize tbe history into one designated room. -u we hadn't done something, they would all be lost.• the Costa Mesa resident said. The 1930s exhibit shows pictures of the school as it was being built It took three months and $410,000 to build Newport Harbor, and there are pictures of the first students walking in. The head count back then was less than 1,200. The average teacher salary was. 25 cents an hour. -1 call it one of the !even con- struction wonders of the world,• Jones said -lbin.k. about it: it took three months.• .

The two gunmen committed a "takeover style• robbery, entering the bank in the 2700 block of Harbor Boulevard and . ordering everybody to the floor, said Costa Mesa Police Lt. Ron Smith. No one was hurt in the heist. . The men took an unknown amount of cash from a teller, ran out and drove away in a stolen Honda car, Smith said. They then drove a short dis- tance, stopped the car and fled on foot, be said. -They were very quick,• Smith said. •we believe (their modus operandi) is very similar to the 'Gone in 60 Seconds' bandJts.• That group, given the nick- name for the speedy execution of their robberies, bas terror- ized ban.ks and convenience stores in Southern California, eluding police and the FBI for the last several months. No accurate description of the robbers is available, except that both were about 5-foot-9 with a stocky build, Smith said. •Nobody could identify them because of the masks,• be said. Police search for man who exposes himself Costa Mesa and Tustin police are still looking for a man who comes up to young girls in public places and exposes or attempts to expose himself. The departments are jointly investigating four separate incidents -three in Costa Mesa and one in Tustin -of indecent exposure and child annoying that they believe were committed by the same man. officials said. On April 25, CoJta Mesa police received reports of a man approaching young girls between ages 7 and 10 at three locatiom -Mesa Verde Library, Mesa Ballet Studio and a Barnes & Noble stcxe -and exposing himself to them. Police said the man approached the girls, engaged them in conversation and showed them pornographic pictures. He then exposed or tried to expose himself, officials . said. A similar incident was reported at the Tustin Public Library on June 27. Costa Mesa police describe the suspect as 5-foot-11, 165 pounds, with light brown hair worn slicked back with a side part. The dean-shaven man reportedly carries a black can- vas bag with handles in which he keeps the pictures. Anyone Wlth information about tus identity is asked to call Costa Mesa Police Det.

I had been placed so far down on the waiting list for a dorm room that my dumces were slim to none that I would get in. Everyone else I knew had slips of paper with numbers, dorm halls and roommates that would seal their fresh- man fates, but I had drawn the wild card. I was a girl with- out a place to stay.

She wasn't wonied about houses, legacies or • espadrilles. Her daughter needed a room. and she needed it now. I ended up rooming with three other girls In a sorortty house that bad recently colo- nized and wu not full with its own members. There were four freshman chick- adees in my room, in a ball that housed about SO girls in all. Considering the angst I went through getting to that point. everything turned out nicely in the end. I got to skip the coed dorm thing, which wu fine with me. 1 shared a bathroom with people who reoognized the importance ol having a blow dryer and cu.ding Iron plugged in simultaneously. And there were plenty of compatriots clad in Lanz nightgowns willing to go to Stan's Comer Donuts at 11:30 p.m. for a big full. Ufe w.as pretty good.

Don't know. Hmm. Here's how they came up with their findings. They placed observers at 640 intersections around the country -a average of 12 intersections per state (yikes!) -and observed about 12,000 passing cars. Did they have some high- tech listening device that detected a cell-phone being used in a passing .car? Au contraire, mon frere. They simply watched cars go by and made a few notes whenever they saw some- one using a cell phone. When it was all said and done, here's what they found out. People in vans and SUVs are more likely to use a cell phone while dri- ving. And the cellular caller is more likely to be a woman than a man. Really. I'm stunned. See? This is exactly why we never, ever, ever get too excited ab.out government studies. The only other study on the subject is about two years old and ranked cell phone usage fourth in the •distraction~ ratings. At No. 3 was read- ing a map, directions or a note. At No. 2 was the always impressive putting on makeup while driving. And No. 1 was fiddling with the radio or CD player. OK, enough studies.

I don't think they mean to be. They just don't realize how obnoxious they are. Here's the problem. In the Jurassic era, when peo- ple used pay phones, if someone was droning on and on about who-knows- what, all you had to do was move along and place your body anywhere where theiI body wasn't. But now, in the Age of Enlightenment, you can't get away. They are every- where, at all times, and they are frighteningly mobile. In the check.out line at Vons, they're right behind you.

Her sister dri- ves her crazy, but she still loves her. I read somewhere, long ago, that the spdce that people keep between them varies from one culture to another. Asians and Euro- peans tend to sit and stand much closer to each other than do their American counterparts. Maybe that's the problem. Obnoxious cell phone users don't realize they are invading our space. It's like second-hand smoke of the ear. Second- hand words, maybe. It is overwhelming at times though, isn't it? Take the usual stroll through any public space, from Fashion Island to John Wayne Air- port, and the place is drip- ping with cell phones and loud voices talking into them. I think we'll get this thing figured out sooner or later. We have pretty much licked the problem of cell phones ringing in theaters and courtrooms and, yes, in city council meetings. Even the most offensive cellular chatters know enough to turn the little thillgs off before they sit down for the show or the sermon. So if you must drive and chat, get a hands-free device.

Criminal charges . against Steel need to be reduced · hen we think of felonies, we think of major crime-mur- der, arson and rape. They are serious and usu- ally brutal or deadly and call for swift and harsh punishment. But election signature fraud? Somehow that just doesn't fit with the above. ln our way of thinking, allowing a husband to sign for a wife on election docwnents cer- tainly isn't a crime befitting a felony. A slap on the wrist? Yes. Probation to guard against repeat offenses? Of course. But a felony? Noway. Somehow, the Orange Coun- ty district attorney's office sees · it differently. Co~ently, Costa Mesa Councilman Chris Steel is in for the fight of his life for allegedly validating signa- tures on his City Council cam- paign papers in 1998 and 2®0 that be knew just were not quite right. In 1998, it hardly mattered, but in 2000, Steel surprised the fi'\d and was s;wept into office with the most votes of any can- didate, besting incumbent Lib- by Cowan and helping to nudge former Councilwoman Heather Somers out of her seat Regardless of how be got there, it was a fair council cam- paign and Steel, whom we hardly agree with on any issue by the way, should stay put. He should not lose his council seat and future voting privileges with a felony conviction. 1be pun- ishment just does not fit the aime. There were two cases brought against Steel, one still pending. First, Costa Mesa resi- dent Michael Szkaradek filed a civil suit alleging Steel commit- ted felonies against the elective franchise in allowing the signa- ture. A judge agreed with Steel's attorney that Steel did not have fraudulent intent and, as a result, tossed the case out. Now, a criminal case awaits Steel in which the Orange Cotlllty district attorney's office charges him with two felony counts of perjury in the 1998 and 2000 elections. If Steel is convicted, he'll lose his seat and his future right to vote or run for office. That's a mighty big price to pay. If the district attorney's office wants to continue pursuing the aiminal case, so be it. But reduce the charges to a misde- meanor, issue a fine and put him on probation. That would be the most appropriate penalty for the councilman. Steel has so far twice reject- ed plea bargains from the dis- trict attorney that would have reduced.the charges but in turn force him to forfeit his seat. And while that wouldn't have been the worst thing for him, seeing that be could still run for City Council and vote, it would not have been the fairest either. ls Steel a felon? No. Did he make a mistake? Yes. Should be be punished at all? Yes, but it's time the district attorney's office ends this charade that smells of a political hatchet job. A thank you for a hard job handled ruunningawaoordlstrict can be a thankless job. People just expect at they will always be able to turn the tap and have good, clean waoor come out of il Anything less would probably cause a reYolution.

In 1997, she helped open the museum on San Oemente Drive, which was fOIDled when the Laguna and New- port Harbor art museums merged. Combining the two collections and dealing with the acrimony and law- suits that followed was not an easy task, but Vme persevered Now, with a oollection of between 6,500 and 7,000 works of art, the museum is doing quite well. "Ameri- can Modern," a partnership with the Metropolitan Museum of Art. has brought in large, diverse crowds. The museum's educational programs are going strong. Its docent program was given S150,000 through a bequest. And in the last year it has filled several key curatorial spots. Features Editor Jenn1ler K Mahal spoke to Vine about the state of the museum prior to news that the museum is looking at a vacant parcel across from the Orange County Per- forming Arts Center as a possible new site. Vine said last week that the muse- um bas not yet made any decision about moving, but is looking at "a number of appealing sites, the Per- forming Arts Center, of which, is one." How did you llnt gel Involved wltb lhemtwoddt Ob gosh. I think it was probably my first art bHllDry class when I was 1n col- lege. I fell tn love with gotbk cath& draJs and wanted to just Jeam as much about eYeljthlDg I rould. And I fust kept ga6ng, went oc and got a PhD. • • and started working in museums short- ly after that. What bas been your biggest chal- lenge since you became the executive diJ'ector of the museuml Probably the merger that we did four or five years ago. That was a diffi- cult time. But that's in the past It's done and it was very successful. It turned out to be exactly the right thing that was needed, and I'm delighted at the results of it. The docent program came into some money from a donor tb1s year - about $750,000 from an estate bequest. How important are the docents to the well being of tM museum? The docents are extremely impor- tant. At this point we have I believe over 120 docents. They're all vohm- t~. They give an incredible amount of time and spend a lot of time and energy learning about each new exhi- bition that we bring. And that in itself is quite a feat since we have some- times up to 20 exhibitions a year. And they don't learn a little bit about each show, they learn a lot. They become bue experts. And then they also give their time to take our visitors on tours through the exhibitions and give them wonderful background and wonderful experience with the works of art and answer all the questions that people have. lbae's been some talk of the museum moving locaUons. Wlll the museum move and ls there any kind of Umellnel I expect that at sometime we will move. We don't have any definJte plans at the moment. so no, there's no timellne. What wou1cl cause a move like tbatl We are growing. We've already out- grown this space. And there is a possi· bility that we could expand here on this space, or we might have to move somewhere else. I really don't know what's going to happen. The Orange Comity Museum of Art ls partnering with the Metropolitan Museum of Art on the "American Modem" exhlblt. How successful bas tbat partnership beenf It's been very successful. We have worked with the Metropolitan Muse- um of Art in the past on similar kinds of projects and have a great relation- ship with them. And this exhibition in particular has brought in a wonderful audience for us, a very large atten- dance. Many, many people are inter- ested in decorative arts and design, and the kinds of history and issues that this exhibition raises. And this is a par- ticularly delightful show because so many people find things in the gallery that they grew up with -an Elec- trolux vacuum cleaner or a Kodak camera that they had from the '40s or '50s. In terms of future partnerships. do you have any planned wtfh collections coming through berel Ob sure, we are doing a lot of things with other musewns and other organi- zations. We have a huge joint project with the Philharmonic Society in Octo- ber, doing a couple of different exhibi- tions that will be part of the Eclectic Orange Festival. And we are bringing an exhibition in February Crom the San Jose Museum of Art. What ls your favorite piece to the museumf Oh, I'm not allowed to have favorites. Are there artists you partk:ularly enjoy, wbetbel' they be from modern art or from dassiAI, whldl this muse- um doem1 display much on We really concentrate on the last 150 years. Our mission begins, we don't have a very specific starting date, but sometime around the middle of the 19th century and continues to the pre- sent day -and the present day of course IS a moving target. But. a single work of art that would be my favorite -oh, there's no way. I couldn't possi- bly single out. How about a genre of artl 1 suppose there was a time, maybe 10 or 15 years ago, when it would have been very easy for me to answer that. and I would have told you that mini- mal art would always be my favorite. And I still love the dean lines, the ele- gance, the purity of color, the clarity of form in minimal art. But recently I have come to a much deeper appreciation of far more expressionistic works of art and things that are far more gestural and passionate in their presentation. And it's very, very difficult to single out a particular artist or style or genre or work. I couldn't do that. How does the South Coast Plaza satellite gallery Bt into the m.-f What ls It's rolef They're simply an extension of what we do here and the exhibitioos that we put on view at South Coast Plaza are always in some way related to tbis facility. Right now, we have an exhibi- tion th~t was drawn largely from our permanent collection. an exhibitioo of artists' portraits. We also do children's programs in our South Coast Plaza gallery, and one of the things I like about that is that people going to South Coast Pliua are not nea!SSarily going there fCll' the pur- pose of seemg a museum exbibitiCJn.
