The highlight of the results of the fourth year ol Stanford 9 achievement tests released this week show that elementary school students in second through fifth grades showed improvement in all four areas tested -reading, math, lan- guage and spelling. Students in sixth through 11th grades improved in most areas, with a few scores unchanging and a couple of slight dips . "We've seen continued growth for four years, so we were happy to see the short hops continued, espec.ially when you follow the grade through the years," said Peggy Anatol, director of curriculum and assessment for the Newport-Mesa Unified School District. ·we want most of our sc:ores to be above the 50th percentile, and that's a good target." While all of the schools in Newport Beach are above that Several of those same schools, however, showed the greatest gains in the district. ~The Westside schools have some of the two-digit gains, which is phenomenal," Supt. Robert Barbot said of campus- es that have the highest num- ber of nonnative English speakers in the district. •If they're new to the country, they can't slay in the second per· centile.

Sc:bma1tz has been a dispatcber at the Newport Beach Police Department for three years. She wcrked in tbe same capacity for the Orange County Sheriffs Department for four years as well. 'Schmaltz loves her job despite the high level of stress involved. She feels best when she helps people but said most of the calls pertain to bark- ing dogs and bar fights. Patience is a definite job requirement, she said. People who call are often flustered and become impatient when asked too many questions, she said.

Dispatchers do not She's at the lead of the lifeline have access to the phone number and location of every incoming call. •eauers assume we know every- thing about them, but we don't. They get frustrated and start yelling. We have great technology. but we still depend on basic human communica- tion,• Schmaltz said. ALL GUTS, SOME GLORY Despite the high amount of non- emergency calls she receives, Schmaltz must still be ready for the worst at a moment's notice. While working for the Orange County Sheriff's Department, Schmaltz received a call from a man in another county whose sister was attempting suicide. All he knew, he told Schmaltz, was that his sister was at some hotel in Orange County. After advising him to look for clues around the woman's house, the man found a brochure for a Holiday Inn. Schmaltz placed calls to every Jiol- iday Inn in the Orange County area. After about an hour's search, she foWld the hotel in Costa Mesa where the woman had checked in. Schmaltz sent paramedics to the scene. She told the brother they had found his sister and bung up the phone. It wasn't unW then that she realized she was shaking and she started crying. "You~ a lot and think you're all tough and bad, but certain calls just get to you and you have to have a release,· she said. After she composed herself, the brother called her back to tell her that his sister was alive and in the hospital. He thanked her for saving his sister's life. In most cases, however, the callers never kn.ow whom they are talking to. They merely rely on dispatchers to send the emergency services that are needed. "This is definitely the no-glory part of police work,• she said. -Story by Lolita Harper; photo by Steve McCrank Whew!

Dffpa Bharath DAILY PILOT NEWPORT BEACH Hoag Hospital is one of three hospitals in California to have a significantly low death rate in heart bypass surg~ries, according to a statewide report released last week. The California Report on Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery, which covers 12 to 24 months during 1997 and 1998, is based on information voluntarily provided by 79 of 118 hospitals that were approached for the study, wblch was conducted for the first time ever in the state. The report, released by the Office of Statewide Health Planning and Devel- opment, concluded that most of the participating hospitals perlormed #as expected.• However, three hospitals -Hoag, S~t Medical Center in San Fran- cisco and Sutter Memorial in Sacramento -performed "significantly better than expected.· On the other band, the study found that four hospi- tals -Downey Corrununity 'It's a significant study.

Hospital in Long Beach, John Muir Medical Center in San Frandsco, Mercy San Juan in Sacramento and Presbyterian 'lntercommunity Hospital in Los Angeles -"performed worse than expected.· Hoag's success can be attributed to its surgeons' and staff's "hard work (and) Raney added that the hospital has refined the tecbnt!logy used in these complex and often long surgeries over the years. Only three surgeons, includ- ing Raney, perform the bypass surgeries at Hoag. . The program at the hospi- tdJ has grown tremendously since he started there in 1987, Raney said. "At that time, we were performing only 95 (surg- eries) a year,• he said. "Last year, we performed close to 500 surgeries. It's really high volume." The challenges also increase day by day, he said. "We're getting sicker patients, patients with more complications, such as dia- betes or high cholesterol or [kidney disease)," he said.

The California Coastal Conservancy approved a grant in that amount at an Aug. 2 meeting in Encinitas. The conservancy banded the money to Orange Coun- ty as part of a nearly ·s11.5- million lPCal match to feder- al funds. The Anny Corps of Engi- neers, which is overseeing the project, 1s trying to secure the remaining $21 million from federal sources.

Paul Olnton DAILY PILOT NEWPORT-MESA -As an FYI to his district, Assem- blyman John Campbell (R- lrvine) sent out an open let- ter reminding e ligible dri- vers to apply for "smog impact" fee refunds. Campbell, in the July 27 letter, said he supports ·the timely refund of the illegal- ly-collected Smog Impact Fee.• The state collected the $300 fee on out-of-state cars and trucks that were regis- tered between 1990 and 1999. A state appeals court ruled in 1999 that the fees were unconstitutional because they interfered with interstate commerce. ln June 2000, Gov. Gray Davis signed a bill granting refund checks to those who FYI For rnore information about the smog Impact fee refunds, call Assem- blyman John Camp- bell's district office at {949) 863-7070. were forced to pay the fees. The checks average $400 when interest is added. The state estunate d. at the time. it wouJd pay out $665 nullion to motorists. Although the fees were widely covered in the media as they wound through courts, Campbell said he sent the letter just to get the word out. "We don't know if people heard about it,· Campbell said. "People don't focus as much on state issues.· Campbell mailed 200 let- ters, which reached his e ntue district, including Costa Mesa and Newport Beach.

He wasn't supposed lo break a prop mir- ror, and when he pulled his bloodied hand away, Coppold tried to stop the action, but Sheen waved him off and the scene played out -all of which seems a very long way from President Bartlett and "West Wmg." But the news events that bit closest to home were the tragedies in Midwestern foot- ball camps where heatstroke took the. lives of two strong and healthy athletes required to work out in 90-degree heat and oppressive hwnidity. That took me back to the summer of 1942, when l was in the third class of aviation cadets to be subjected to the Navy Pre-Flight School in Iowa City, Iowa, where Navy brass sought to discover the fine line between producing supermen and destroying them. They did both. I'll put up the heat and humidity of central Iowa against any place in the world -and I was there just trying to survive the Navy jock fan- tasies in July, August and September. Navy Pre-Flight training was designed by for- mer heavyweight boxing With record-high home prices, even responsible, successful families are stru~ gling to save enough for a down payment, Penalosa said. "These loans are intended to bridge the gap between the first mortgage and the champion Gene 1\mney, and l strongly doubt that he ever trained for a fight in August in Iowa. At least in the sun. We would be fed beans for breakfast and then sent out to leave the beans on an obsta- cle course that featured a 10- foot wall I can still see glower- mg at me. The only way to get over it was to hit it on the dead run and get a slippery foothold high enough to grasp the top of the wall. After the obstacle course. we were scat- tered into various sports from boxing to soccer, where we spent most of the rest of our tune for three months in the grip of coaches who mostly live in a distant galaxy where they believe devoutly that any demands can be excused if they produce real toughness in the individuals who sur- vive. One of the coaches at Iowa Pre-Flight was Bernie Bier- man, who took the University of Minnesota to a bunch of national football titles. So there we were -mostly soft college kids whose idea of exercise was carrying a six- pack back to the frat house - in full football gear in Iowa in the sun in July. On our first day, Coach Bierman put us through some exercises, and purchase price of tbe home,• she said. Costa Mesa bas budgeted for 16 loans this year to serve as a silent second loan, Penalosa said. Applicants must have already met with a Realtor, found a home to buy and qualified for a first mortgage, she said. Then, il selected, the city would klck in funds, not to exceed 15% of the purchase price, or $35,000. Recipients have a total of 30 years to pay the Redevel- opmeni Agency back, Penalosa said, with the first 10 years fully deferre~ ln the 11th year, monthly pay- ments start, based on a 20- year repayment schedule we were dll panllng on the ground as he walked among us asking. "ls there a quarter- back here?" I was the only one stupid enough to raise my hand. I figured Bierman wd.Ilted someone to call the signals while everyone else worked. So the coach stood over me and said, "You a quarterback, son?" I allowed I truly was, and he said. "Well, we don't need a quarterback for this next exer<;ise. so you go lake 10 laps around the track." I remember the first four laps, but after that it JS all a haze. When I didn't show up for dinner, my roommates came loolong for me and found me staggenng around • the track dehydrated and semiconsoous. They took me to my room, cooled me down and brought me back We always thought the odds were better to avoid Sick Bay. When l regained my senses, I picked up the moral instantly. I have never volunteered for anything -in the Navy or civilian life -since that day. And I'm very wary of coaches. • JOSEPH N. BEU is a resident of Santa Ana Heights. His column appears Thu~ays.

Daily Pi~ SEAN ...U.R I OAl.Y PlOT • First off, of course, is a question of money. Although the owners of the Dunes -who late last month announced they would attempt to sell the resort after owning iftor nearly 30 years -have not publicly stated a price, it figures to be tens of mil- lions of dollan;. After all, the hotel the Evans family is building in San Diego is running in the $40-million range. bond from last year. And while the school measure passed, it took concerted public relations efforts by the Newport-Mesa Unified School District -includ- ing a vast committee to ensure the district would spend the money wisely - and a dramatic need on our campuses to convince .reluctant voters to dig into their wallets. Is there the same compelling need at the Dunes? Is turning the resort into a park or using it for some other public purpose worth what it would cost? Th~ historic cottages at Crystal Cove resemble a ghost town as the small beach community stands empty. That cloudy future also raises some concerns. Would the land be bought only to fall into disrepair? Would it be kept open to the public, or would it become a private resort along the lines of the Bal- boa Bay Club? And if so, would that mean a public bond went to buy an exclu- sive club? Is that a good use of our money? State unfair in removing cove residents L et's get this straight: The state of California kicks out all of the residents of Crystal Cove unceremoniously with threats that fines would have been $25,000 or more if they didn't leave by 5 p.m. July 8. By comparison, Newport Beach's budget for next year is $135 million. That includes $26.97 million and $18.8 million for police and fire services, respectively. Are we prepared to spend the equivalent or more of the police budget for a year to buy the Dunes? The money would not come directly from the city's budget, certainly. The leading idea on.bow to raise the money bas been a city-issued bond, which brings up shades of the $110-million school Such questions need to be asked, debated and set- tled before serious talk of buying the property starts in City Hall. The idea may be worth pursuing. But before city leaders start in on it, they just need to make sure it is. The residents leave their homes "in tears• as state park rangers hand pick (the good cottages] they want to occupy. The state's sense of urgency then exceeds expectations as the plans for a scheduled meeting about •a plan for Crystal Cove• for some. time in August can't be quite decided. So the state, in its wisdom, calls a little •secret meeting" on July 19 for those • spedaj people with a direct interest• in the long-term planning of the historic cottages. Wasn't the Brown Act supposed to stop all this behind-the-scenes skulduggery? How one qualified or was selected to be a part of this elite Crystal Cove California Coast "planning process" Why is support for an El Toro airport groWin.g? • The Issue: Recent poll suggests that heightened public awareness has increased backing. P eople realize that John Wayne Airport will not be sufficient to serve Orange County tn the future and that the El Toro Marine bue ts the last realistic place to develop-an airport. The U.S. gov- ernment agendel have a aitical need for al1 of Camp Pendleton and wm not make land available for an ailpolt. Orange County residents are J"Mllzing that the COit -taxes -to them will be far less to build an airport and have it serve the tu.twe needl of our community than to build and maintain a park that would have mlnlmal \lie.

Did they call Huell Howser or any of the past residents of Crystal Cove? Did they put a public notice in any news- paper? Did they send out or contact all of those who attended the last state-sanctioned meeting April 26? How should one be considered qual- ified to attend such a meeting? We thought the state would be too busy digging up those awful septic tanks by now. Maybe they were just rehearsing a scene from Fellini's •Satyrtcon. • In their wisdom, they called Joan Irvine Smith to make sure she got her two historic cottages for art. They probably gave the Sierra Club one cottage. Nancy Gardner and Swfrid- er probably were given a lifetime cottage to store her surfboard, even though she says she'll uever use il The Laguna Beach festival of the Arts probably got one or two of the cottages .because they can never malt@ up their minds. When was that meetil\g in August again? Don't we have any other sea pollution to worry about right now? Did they have cheese? So now that the California Depart- ment of Recreation and Par1cs and Rusty Areias, its director, have been so open and giving, it's over. The rings have been exchanged and the vows made. Poor Crystal Cove will have nothing happening there, ever, es:cept maybe some broken hearts when people drive by and look back and remember the good old times or when the state sells this land to a big-time developer a few years later. • RON ANO ANNA WINStW1 a~ Newport Beach residents.

Daily PilOt fandy Cane ~all ready/or elegant evening T he bayfront estate of ltldaard and Laura Lee Browne Will be the setting of an upcoming underwriting party designed to ra.1$e funds to cover the expenses of the annual Candy Cane Ball benefiting the Assistance League of Newport Mesa. The Brownes have donated their elegant home ln sup- port of the 52nd annual Candy Cane Ball, which will be held Nov. 30 at the exclusive Newport Harbor Yacht Club. The ball, one of the highlights of the winter social season, is also the 1 longest-running charitable event to be held during the holiday season in the New- port-Mesa community. THE CROWD Tb.is year, reports Under- writing Chairwoman Vivian Browne, daughter-in-law of the hosts, the underwriting party will take on a decid- edly Polynesian theme. Per- fect for an evening on the Newport'Harbor, the luau will feature dinner and dancing as guests enjoy a spectacular view of the mar- itime traffic. Mai tais will be the order of the evening the popular Wayne Foster Orchestra to entertain at the ball. A martini bar has been ordered to please the crowd. For those in the know, the Candy Cane Ball also features what is surely the most elaborate silent auction of any holiday affair. The display of mer- chandise bOggles the mind, thanks to the gallant efforts of the petite yet powerful auction chair, Kay Davis, and her committee. Special mention also must be made thanking local merchants for their extreme generosity. Many thousands of dollars are raised from this silent auction to benefit Assis- tance League programs. Kate CarveW, Sandy De Young, Catherine O'}lara, Vivian Browne and Marilyn Bendetti are members of the Candy Cane Ball committee. and guests will be required to don their Hawaiian best. The actual Candy Cane Ball will once again be a Christmas spectacular, com- plete with prolific displays of red and white roses. Guests will be attired in their finest holiday black tie. The ball is being chaired by Sandy De Young, wife of Roger De Young, whose family are longtime members of the Newport Harbor Yacht Club. Kate Carvelll and Cam Bryson will join forces with De Young as the co- chairs of the evening, which is a major annual fund-rais- er for the Junior Auxiliary of the Assistance League of Newport-Mesa. De Young and her associ- ates have already lined up Speaking of programs, last year the Assistance League Children's Dental Health Center served 2,670 young patients in need of care. Kids on the Block, a community outreach pro- gram that is built around a puppeteering perfonnance, reached another 1,310 stu- dents. And Operation School Bell, which supplies · clothing and necessities to youngsters returning to the classroom, served another 725 needy local children. Overall, the Assistance League of Newport-Mesa is proud of its association with 750 members, which have accumulatively donated more than 40,000 hours of volunteer service during the past 12 months. Further, it is important to mention that the Junior Auxiliary, which is com- posed of young mothers in the community, champions the fund-raising effort behind the Candy Cane Ball. This year, Catherine O'Hara leads the effort as chairwoman of the Junior Auxiliary.

No reason to rush to 'Rush Hour 2' 'R ush Hour 2• ls a mishmash. It pre· tends to be a fea- ture film when it's just a JOAN AllDRE place hol~er to keep some attention on the fact that they're plan- ning to make a real movie. The.first •Rush Hour· was reason· ably funny. At least I found myself laughing at some of the lan- guage problems between the non-English speaking Japanese policeman and the reluctant American police- man who must •baby-sit• him as he pursues villains on the run from Japan. It was inoffensive and sponta- neous comedy, and the action was terrific. ·Rush Hour 2, • however, is a typical sequel failure - the same two lead characters playing the same two police- men, but without the lan- guage shtick. They do some language ploys but the result is coarse and nat. After being told not to interfere with police business, they are recruited by the Secret Ser- vice to pursue some funny money. They are, subse- quently, captured and shipped to America and wind up in Las Vegas. Inci- dentally, it is a pleasure to see Alan King looking so good, but I'm not sure why he was in evidence at all. Jackie C han as Japanese policeman Lee and Chris Tucker as American police- man Carter atbempt to fol- low a plot that is irrelevant. I have the distinct impres- sion that there was little or no dialogue written into the script and that the action scenes were deferred to the choreographer. There is no doubt that Jackie Chan is the most watchable action leading man in films today. Some of his facial expres· sions are priceless; but, even with the impeccable choreography and Chan's ability to perform, be is shortly going to need some real talent that is not totally dependent upon physical prowess. Tucker does not have a whole lot to work with, but he handles himself well There is one scene at the gaming tables in Las Vegas in which he is in his ele- ment. It's his intention to be a diversion for his police- man buddy and he needs to attract attention to himseU, so be grabs the dice and starts a patter with the croupier about racial injus- tice that has been done so many times by so many people that you start to compare his recitation with all the others and then just sit and wait until it is over and they get back to the action. I don't think I have ever given enough credit to the sound mixer or the staff of stuntmen for their contribu- tion to this genre. They are indeed the most important factor in this film. Also, there are the outtakes. Knowing that this is a feature of Chan's movies, I was l~king forward to them for most of the movie. With all of the talent that went into the film and all the beautiful people who played key roles, this should have been a delightful experience. It was, however, a mediocre movie that had its bright spots, but not enough of them to drag it into respectability. It is definitely a ·wait for the video." •JOAN AM>llE, •over 65, • is New- port Bffctl resident who does • lot of volunteer work. Why not return the love with the gift of life?

If you like humor. check out 'Diaries' As I walked into the the- ater, I was looking forward to seeing what "The Princess SAU SALAM Diaries• was going to be like. 1 had no idea whether it was going to be boring 'or interest- ing. Personal- ly, I really liked it. It had a lot of good humor and showed what a geek's We is like: totally mvisible. ln the movie, Mia Ther- mopolis lived this lifestyle. She is only recognized as a freak and someone who isn't fond of public-speak- ing until something hap- pens that changes her life forever. · Thermopolis (Anne Hath- away) lives in San Francisco with her mother (Caroline Goodall), who is an artist by profession. Her father had recently passed away. Out of the blue, Mia's grandmother. Clarisse Renaldi (Julie Andrews}, comes to visit Mia with some important news. She tells her that she is the princess of Genovia, and that she herself is the queen. She wishes for Mia to accept her royal role. At first. Mia is shocked, and freaks out. But she eventually agrees to take princess lessons to decide if she wants to officially be the princess by the end. During this process, she bas some difficulty, which is the most humorous part of the movie. She then becomes accustomed to the eti- quette. While all of tbis is hap- pening, she is in love with a guy named Josh Bryant (Erik von Detten). Later, he uses her because be wanli his 15 minutes of fame. And the cheerleaders, Jed by Lana (Mandy Moore), help to embarrass her even more at the Baker Beach Party, ' where TV reporters come to find her. She bates this way of living and begins to doubt the fact of her becom- ing the princess. She does- n't know what she is goibg to do. There are a lot of charac- ters to describe, but there are two that are involved with Mia. They are Wy (Heather Matarazzo) and h er brother. They try to help Mia through her situation, and always try to be there for her. In my point of view, "The Princess Diaries" was a pretty good movie. In some parts, the scenes just seemed to drag on. And in other parts, they were JUSt hilarious. But the overall plot was great, and you couldn't wait to see what would happen next. I would recommend this movie to anyone who likes humor and anyone who is a fan of Julie Andrews. • SARA SALAM attends Corona del Mar High School as an eighth- grader and enjoys dance. • e<.:ommcrc::el Web Site Des1gt1 • Mobil..: PC' R<."f>Otr & UPt!f'IMi~ • NetworlcinwW•n:less Net'11-ori.s • Compu1er Coaching • Software l...ppndcs & lnMJ11l1 G rOWlnO up ..

Arts Center makes it a great we-show stop. The menu shows off Ste- fano's knowledge of regional Italian fare, but the execu- tion occasionally leaves something to be desired. Starters, or Antipasti, include a traditional frted calamari ($8.95) served with a side of light marinara sauce. The squid rings were crisp and tender, and I enjoyed the addition of some fried shrimp in the mix. The tangy mari- nara tasted fresh and was perfect for dipping. Being a polenta fan, I couldn't resist the Polent.a Frit- ta ($9.25). While the dish did- n't knock me out of my chair, it didn't disappoint me, either. Thick squares of cooked corn- meal are fried on a hot griddle and then topped with melted fontina cheese and a sauce of wild mushrooms with just a touch of cream. This is the type of dish that's my idea of Italian comfort food. The abnosphere and decor give the sense of traditional Italy, and I was swprised to find several menu items fea- turing hints of Asian ingredi- ents. Nowhere does the menu or decor suggest that Stefano is offering a fusion cuisine, and several of these dishes seem oddly out of place. For instance, Vongole Japonese ($8.25) described as •stewing in a white wine miso broth, finished with a touch of wasabi. •The dish we were served showed no signs of stewing anything - the clams were sitting on a flat plate atop several ladles of the broth but dld not appear to have been cooked in if and they had already begun to dry out by the time they reached our table.

Back on track is Stefano's selection of pasta dishes, which are broken down by the regions in Italy that inspired them. In Italian cooking simple is often bet- ter, as is the case with the Agnolotti Porcini ($13.50). Homemade pasta cirdes are filled with a savory mixture of earthy porcini mushrooms and finished with some melt- ed butter flavored with fresh sage and a sprinkle of parmi- giana cheese. A heavier sauce would destroy the fla- vor of the delicate mush- rooms; here the sage is the pedect enhancer to the dish. Another dish, the Suttle di Spaghetti ($10.50). sounded promising but left us disap- pointed. Billed as a spaghetti souffie sauteed with prosciut- to, egg and wild mushrooms in a tomato sauce, baked with a mozzarella toppirig- the dish was surprisingly bland, offering little of the complex flavorings promised. The entree list features a healthy selection of grilled meats, one of the best of wbk:b Is the veal chop • ($28;50). A t&ounce chop ls ltufted with~ and JD(m.8l9lla dM98l8 and then routed CNer an open fire. lbe perfectly cooked chop Is served limply with a lide of grtUed polenta and some veg· etables. The meat was tender and the splnach and oozing mozzarella "dded flavor and texture to this simple classic. Leu satisfying w'u a pork chop ($14.50) supposedly baked in a clay pot with an Asian apple brandy sauce. The clay pot cooking method led me to expect a moist, juicy chop, infused with a flavorful sauce. What I received instead was a dry cut that seemed as if it had been pan-fried rather than baked. The sauce tasted like a fairly routine apple and brandy mix. and if there were any Asian influences, I didn't taste them. Stefano features an ade- quate wine list offering a reasonably priced selection of Italian and American wines. I was pleased to see some of the less popular Ital- ian wines offered, such as a Gattinara from the Piedmont region for $49. Desserts include a silky smooth Panna Cotta ($6.50). the creamy Italian version· of flan, and a refreshing · Tuamisu ($6.50) .. Stefano il Ristorante brings to Costa Mesa the talents of a superb. chef who needs to refine his concept and iron out some of the wrinkles pre· sent with any new restawant.

SCR painting a solid future for the arts T bese are beady days for South Coast Repertory. The theater company that once toured its plays out of the back of a station wagon has broken ground on a MO-million project -a third theater in its Town Center Drive complex that will encompass three levels and seat 336 playgoers when 1t opens a year from October. The Fifth Step -for SCR's growth has been cat- aloged in steps since its founders set up residence here in 1965 -will be an addition on the current Mainstage and Second Stage complex. which will be christened the Judie Argyros Stage, in honor of the major benefactor. The existing 507-seat Mainstage will be renovat- ed and renamed the Segerstrom Theater, recog - nizing the pioneer family that donated the land to SCR in 1978 and has been a major financiaJ force in the company's development. The existing Second Stage will become the Nicholas Studio Theater (for support- ers Henry and Stacey Nicholas) and will be reduced1rom 161 seats to 99. "We will certainly have a wonderfuJ facility in terms of its technicaJ capabilities, amenities and sheer aes- thetic appeai •declared SCR's co-founder and pro- ducing artistic director, David Emmes. "But we feel that it's what will take place inside that is most exciting.• Among these events is a three-play series of youth theater productions to begin in October 2003. boosted by a $500,000 grant from the Whittier Family Foundation.

We toured for most of our first season. When we finally did acquire a home, it was a marine hardware store on Balboa Peninsula we con- verted into a 75-seat the- ater. •Both floors together measured 2,800 square feet. When the new theater cen- ter is completed, it will have a 78,000-square-foot facility. But, most importantly, we will have one of the finest theater complexes of its kind,· he said. That Balboa playhouse was the Second Step The- ater (the first step being the touring shows, three of which played the old Lagu- na Playhouse in early '65). The Third Step was a con- verted dime store on New- port Boulevard in down- town Costa Mesa, which was home from 1967 to 1978, when the Fourth Step lo the present location was taken. Now. 23 years later, SCR IS taking an important Fifth Step, and the upcoming sea.son will be reduced by one play on each of its cur- rent stages to accommodate construction of the Argyros Theater. When completed, the three theaters will share a common lobby and the new three-level theater will include a balcony, some- thing of a first for SCR. The SCR complex will be a major part of the multi- venue Segentrom Center for the Arts, a proposed cul- tural center that will include a concert ball and museum adjacent to the theater and across the street from the Orange County Performing Arts Center. • 1n October of next year, SCR will open its 39th sea- son in a dramaticaJly differ- ent complex that will pro- vide the Segerstrom Genter for the Arts with a more dis- tinctive and conspicuous architecturaJ presence,• Errunes declared. Thereby, he might have added, cementing Costa Mesa's claim to its designa- tion as the City of the Arts. • TOM nTUS reviews local theater for the Daily Pilot.

Richard Dunn DAILY PILOT COSTA MESA - In her heart, Angela Won of University High would want to play golf at near- by UC lrvine. As an upcoming senior, Won is expect- ed to be a highly reauited player, but, when she decides on a college and possibly commits to a school during the early signing period in November, it is not likely she will go far from home. She's far away enough from home already. •1 came to America from Korea by myself when I was 11," said Won. a member of the Southern Califorilia PGA aquad competing, and Iea4ibg, the 24th annual Girls Junior America's Cup Team Matches at Mesa Verde Country Club. Won and Bolee Kim, two of the four SoutherQ California players, are both from Korea, having moved to the United States at a young age to experience the American dream and golf in the vast surroundings (a la Grace Park). •At first, I wanted to stay with my family (in Korea), but my dad (Jin Young) wanted me to go play golf in better conditions,• Won added.

As for Won's second-round score Wednesday at Mesa Verde (80), she would like to quickly for- get about it. and. in the team for- mat of the Girls Junior America's Cup, that's entirely possible. In fact. the Southern California team is so bot. Won'& total didn't count on captain Kelly Williams' card, which lists only the top three scores. (An 80 would count on most teams.) Julie McKenna of Newbury Park was the star ot the l8COGd round, firing an even-par 71 to earn individual medalist honors for the day. Following Tuesday's opening- round 79, McKenna picked up her clubs and went to the practice putting green. On Wednesday, the putts dropped.
