Piecemakers' lawsuit to go to arbitrator • • • Mediation will be used to settle harasmlent claim between religious group and Tom Halliburton. Jennifer Kho DMY PILOT COSTA MESA-A judge has ordered that a religious group's harassment lawsuit against the 26-year-old son of one of its members go before an arbitrator. The Piecemakers and Tom Halliburton must try to reach a settlement through arbitra- tion by December. The arbi- trator will try to mediate between the two sides, but if a settlement cannot be reached,. the parties could let the arbitrator decide the case or simply go to trial. The Piecemakers is a 30- member group that has giv- en up the traditional family structure -including mar- riage and sex -to live com- munally in six Mesa Verde homes. The antigovernment group sued Halliburton for allegedly causing the group a loss of business by picket- ing in front of their Adams Street crafts Jtore. The Piece- makers have also accused him of sending e-mail mes- sages to their Web customers describing the group as a mind-controlling cult. Hal- liburton blames the Piece- maken for keeping his moth- er from bis college gradua- tion. She joined the group 20 years ago and has cut herself off from her family. Halliburton was not avail- able for coµunent for press time, but his lawyer, Joe Donahue, said he thinks arbitration will be quicker than a trial. •we don't need a public display of the emotions that gave rise to the (incidents) propelling this case," Don- ahue said. Stuart Wallach, attorney for the Piecem.akers, said be hopes mediation will result in a settlement. "Everyone would rather have a settlement, but some- times you just can't,• he said. "All you can do is try.• The lawsuit was delayed four times because the Piece- makers had insufficient evi- dence for a case against Hal- liburton before it was accept- ed for trial in April.

They were constantly trying to get him under con- trol.• While Abrams bad a long history of substance abuse up to 1994, Gragg said that he stopped taking drugs other than marijuana after that. She added, however, that Abrams had snorted a line of cocaine iir April 1999, a month pri~r to killing the children. Attempts to treat his illness with medication have failed since his arrest in'1999, Gragg said. •He is still to this day telling staff about the brain-wave peo- ple, • she said, while Abrams remained bunched motionless in his chair. •The odds are great that Mr. Abrams will always be ready to believe that the brain-wave people really exist.. Deputy Dist. Atty. Debora Lloyd refuted the argument that the killings happened as a result of Abrams' mental ill- ness. •Need.Jess to say, this defen- dant has used so many drugs that it's no surprise that his brain is malfunctioning,· she said, adding that Abrams began drinking alcohol at age 10, started smoking marijua- na at 12 and bad taken every drug possible by the time he turned 20. ·Lloyd added that his con- tinuing marijuana abuse led him to murder Brandon and Sierra. •He could be a lot sicker and a lot more delusional and still know that it's wrong (to kill children),• Lloyd said, referring to ~bJlllDlS' mental state on the day of the mur- ders. •This guy is functional except that he's taldng pot. •Even scumbags know that Cruz said be hopes to get the business up and running in a temporary location soon. •Right now I'm going to go home and think.• Cruz said.

Emily Hackler, a registered nurse and licensed clinical psy- chologist and Harold Berlin, a psychiatrist, both could not remember examining Abrams and bad to rely on records for their testimony. •He bad no concept of what was going on,• said Hackler, who retired in 1995. She added that Abrams had denied any psycbiabic history or hearing voices as well as recent drug use. •1 suggested bipolar disor- der,• she said, adding that she hadn't been able to give a def- inite diagnosis. ·1 thought maybe I was seeing someone who bad some manicky things going on.• A neigh}M>r, a police officer and Abrams' younger brother Joseph all testified that his statements about persecution by a •neighborhood watch commando• badstartJed them.

Coivnv.1 Daily Pilot Gay Geiser-Sandoval EDUCATIONAllY SPEAKING Bemndtothe principal of your childrens school N ewport-Mesa schools will each have a principal for opening day, even if the principals are there on a tempo- rary basis. Apparently, principalships are no longer the job of choice. The difference in salary between a topped-out teacher, pay-wise, and a principal is not great. Yet, a principal works many more days of the year. At the secondary level, there is always a game, play, banquet or meeting the principal needs to attend every afternoon and evening. If you divide salary by num- ber of hours worked, some of the students with part-time jobs might be making more money per hour than the principal. Principals are in a unique position. Although we think of them as the chief executive offi- cer at a school, they have proba- bly hired few of the employees. Due to laws and contracts, they have very little power to fire a staff member. Although we hold them accountable for student results, they have no control over what students are on their campus and very little say in what will be taught or how it will be taught. Yet, the talk of throwing out the principal if Stanford 9 tests don't improve is growing. The principal is expected to resolve problems between stu- dents, teachers and parents, even though those problems could stem from their relation- ships outside the classroom. They are also expected to be the fund-raising chair for public schools, always searching for money. They are expected to gamer business partnerships for their school. They will be expected to maintain leadership if natural disaster strikes, when the schools will become the neigh- borhood disaster centers. They are to spot trouble before it begins, and ensure that violence is not allowed on cam- pus, either from external forces, or an upset student or staff mem- ber. This could explain why there are less and les\ candidates for principal spots, and the average length of a prindpal's stay at a $chool 1s about five years. So, I hope you take the time to meet the new and interim principals before you have a problem you need them to fix.

Tuesday, August 29, 2000 5 Library, arts center wou1d make great nE:ighbors I am writing to you in response to tl}e recent "Readers Respond"column("Residents to city: please preserve open space,• July 27). This is hardly a valid representation of both sides of the question. It wouldn't be hard for me to supply more than seven people who think the arts and education center is a wonder- ful idea whose time has come. It seems to me that the Daily Pilot and the readers who were quoted on this subject are not see- ing the entire picture on the issue of building an arts and education center adjoining the Newport Beach Central Llbrary. If Newport Beach residents will consider the plans being developed for a cen- ter, they will see that we also are working to preserve the open space in the city, while providing a necessary enhancement to the cul- tural and educational facilities available to members of this com- munity. The first mis- conception implied in the above-men- tioned column is that the arts and education center would use up all open space on the site adjoin- ing the library by creating a huge facility that would eradicate native plant life Don Gregory COMMUNITY COMMENTARY and replace it with a concrete- and-steel eyesore. The fact is that the arts and education center wo'uld only be using 3.5 acres of the 1·2-acre site. The plans have been developed in a painstaking way to maximize the usability of the facility while minimizing its environmental impact. The fad.llty's rooftop would not rise above the level of MacArthur Boulevard, so it would not block views of the ocean from nearby areas. The roof would be land- sca~ to complement the sur- rounding 8.5 acres of open space, and the parking facility would be underground. The entire facility bas been designed as a complement to the Newport Beach Central Llbrary. sharing parking areas and admin- istration facilities. Other sites were considered, but this one was chosen because it adjoins the library. By combining the two facilities and allowing them to share parking and admin- istration, the cultural effect is max- imized while the environmental effect is minimized. The location allows for easy access by all resi- dents, as originally considered when the library was developed. The arts and education center was READERS RESPOND designed as a benefit, not a detJi- ment, to this community. The second misconception implied is the larger issue that local residents need to consider. One respondent in the original column touched briefly on the issue of denying a proj~ that will enhance the cultural life of this community, while large-scale mm- mercial projects continue to be developed, using up large quanti-. ties of the open space that we are trying to protect. Culture is the heart of a city. Don't you think that you should look into your heart and say some nice things for those of us who believe as we do? The City Coun- cil bas seen fit to appoint an ad- hoc committee to look into this very question, of which I'm proud to be a member. • DON GREGORY is the co-chairman of the ad-hoc committee for the Ne-.vport Beach Arts and Education Center.

A s a Balboa resident on prop- erty owned by family since 1927, I feel qualified to bring to attention a fact that has not, to my knowledge, been mentioned in any report, pro or con, on the Sutherland Talla Hospitality Group's project here in Newport Beach (Marinapark). The pre- sentation at the Aug. 22 New- port Beach City Council meeting , by Stephen P. Sutherland gave a clear idea of the proposed luxu- ry resort and I have to say, it does sound appealing. I would wish that Sutherland or others in the group could or would arrange to spend a few days here, on location, during any month, espedally during the summer. As I have mentioned above, no one has brought out the fact that Balboa Boulevard is indeed a •dead-end• street. All cars going on the peninsula must exit the same way.

Despite a packed house at City Hall, all of whom came to speak against the proposed peninsula hotel between 15th and 19th streets, our City Council voted unanimously (one abstention) to go forward with Sutherland Tal- la 's resort hotel. Folks representing the Ameri- can Legion, Marinapark Home· owners, Central Newport Home- owners, Joint Peninsula Home- owners, as well as local neigh- bors of the project, were politely listened to for several hours, then just as politely ignored. Despite its 77-year history i.o Newport Beach and historical promises to be allowed to remain at its present location in perpetuity, the American legion is about to be begged, cajoled and bribed into 91ving up its site so another new hotel can be added to the gndlock we now endure.

MARTIN AND MIL.DUD LITKE Newport Beach • Eagles hope to take the next step after a 1999 season on the brink. Bany Faulkner DAILY PILOT COSTA MESA -After settling for just one win in 1998, the Estancia High football team came within a single victory of a Pacific Coast League title last fall. Now, with a nucleus of senior veterans who have experienced the tumult and the tease, third-year coach Dave Perkins believes this team may be the one Eagle fans have longed for. Or, at least, a unit which can do last year's 6-4 squad one better. •Our goal is to improve on last year,• Perkins said. •Actually, if we improve by one league win, we're league champs. We're real excited about this year." Championship dreams fizzled in a 48-12 loss to University in the reg- ular-season finale last fall. It was a defeat resounding enough to allow CIF officials to pass over the Eagles for the lone at-large Division IX playoff berth (awarded 5-4-1 West- ern). ·we had an opportunity to con- trol our own situation and we didn't play very well at all (against Uni),• Perkins said. ·we've talked at length about that.• Talk of the Eagles' strengths begins with defense, where coordi- nator Bob Brockie, who installed the double flex in his debut season last fall, has been elevated to assistant head coach. After surrendering nearly 33 points per game in '98, the Eagles yielded just more than 18 lUt sea- son. Further, they intercepted 20 passes to help forge a plus-eight turnover ratio. Unemen David Rodrlguez and Cesar Romero, as well as linebacker Faha:d Jabid and linebacker-tumed- comerback Andy Romo, return with All-PCL credentials, while free safe- ty Preddy Rodriguez, a starter u a sophomore, adds to the eXperleDL'ed taient on that Ade of the ball. •t think our defeme la going to be pretty doggone good,• Perkim Mid. •we're more ci>mfortable with tbe Oa lywtmD and I think we're a llttl9 fiuk:br .• Last year's opponents quickly realized ltacldng the line of scrim- mage was the best way to combat a talented ground game keyed by then-senior Manball Hendrickl.

Here's a position-by-position look at the rest of the offense, as well as the defense and special teams. Quarterback: Valbuena threw for 1,154 yards and eight touchdowns (89t for 215) two yea.rs ago, but had just t• completions in 54 attempts with five interceptions last season. His 193 yards in '99 did not include a touchdown pass. However, with '99 starter Jeremy Valdes (17 for 51 for 273 yards. with two TDs and five interceptions) shifted to running back, Valbuena will be expected to run the show and produce big plays. The Eagles need much more aer- ial production than the -431 yards they received last fall, which accounted for just more than 16% of their offense. "We have to be able to attack an eight-man front by throwing the ball,. Perkins said.

In an emergency, Valdes could also be summoned. Running backs: A backfield ·committee• will be employed to fill the void left by Marshall Hendricks, who graduated with the school sin- gle-season rushing record (1,477 yards). Hendricks also produced nearly 2,000 all-purpose yards and scored 18 of the tea.m's 31 touch- downs in his only season as an Eagle. Senior fullback Fahad Jahid, a returning starter and the leading returning rusher with 203 yards and three TDs on 55 carries last fall, pro- vides power. The 6-2, 235-pounder bas worked to better apply his leverage with defenders and Perkins said he would also utilize him at times at tailback in the wing T attack. Andy Romo, used primarlly on defense last year, could split time between wideout and tailback. He's the fastest guy on the team (in the 4.5 range for the -40-yard dash) and is also a senior leader. He was All· PCL at outside linebacker a year ago and he will, once again, play a leading role·defensively.

"(Romo) was as good as any receiver I saw this summer,• Perkins said. • Freddy Rodriguez and senior Danny Valbuena, Kenny's twin brother, are also in the mix. Tigbt end: Danny Valbuena (6-5, 220) could be an imposing blocker here, but he is still receiving strong competition from senior David Stod- dard and junior Newport Harbor transfer Miguel Espinosa. Stoddard caught one pass for 8 yards as a junior. Sophomore Kyle Casillas could also make an impact. Javier Ramirez Raymond Romua Jesse Cardenas is penciled in at right tackle. Perez, who came out late last sea- son, will need to show be can com- ,pete at this level. but Perkins said his offseason progress suggests be can do just that •He's come a long way,• Perkins said of Perez. •He's up to 1,400 pounds in our four lifts, he runs a 5.3 (40-yard dash) and be is a real good athlete.· If Perez falters, senior Rene Duarte (5 -11, 270) could emetge. Should Aguilera move to guard, Duarte could also fill that vacancy. Senior David Rodriguez, whom Perkins would prefer to play at full- back, could also be called upon. Pri- marily a defensive lineman, Rodriguez has started six varsity games at guard. Sophomore Alan Raynor (5-10, 180), senior Rick Valdez (5-9, 215), and sophomore Carlos Rios (6-0, 220) are the primary badrups.
