knees by police as handcuffs were placed on bis hands.
Wright was arrested on suspicion of possessing
metbampbetamines and sent to jail. After his convic-
tion, he was sentenced to 18 months of Drug Court, in
which he was required to attend regular couh.seling sessions to kick
his drug habit He was forced to leave bis girlfriend of nine years,
Michelle Slack -also an addict -and their three children while
he attempted to straighten up his own lite.
After more than two years of
sobriety, Wright. now 36, returns to
his knees each night to tnank God
for the blessings in bis life.

Eliminating old growth

Old annuals that have

Y ana Bridle dropped everything for a

A professional Newport Beach pho-

presidents, actors, princes, governors, senators,
prime minister5 and Nobel Prize winners, Bri-
dle threw off her heels, biked up her slacks and
ran through a meadow of wet grass to freeze
forever the image of a calf being born.
Her just-wed clients stayed behind to contin-
ue hosting their Italian mountainside wedding
last year. But Bridle didn't think twice. Her job
was to photograph and capture the heart of the
rural moment. The birth of a cow in the groom's

is rewarding, she says, and the contest is one of
the largest photographic contests in the world,
but the story of the newlyweds and the coun-

wants to talk about.
But before she does, let it first be said, Bridle ·
throws off her shoes and runs. She runs from
her dining ~oom to the bedroom to grab some-.
thing she needs to show. She rushes from her
seat to the stove to refill her llask-style cup of

with negatives and photos documenting her

anger and grief·
AT ISSUE: Tuesday's attacks
draw speculation, reason and
endls opinions.
Laying blame on all fyfuslims
because of the heinous acts
by a few is like indicting all
Americans because a few
happen to be mass murderers. It is
at times like this that we need even
more input from the civilized Mus-
lim community so that we may learn
enough about their religion and cul-
ture to hopefully prevent similar ter-
rorist acts in the future.
It is time also that we reexamine
our international stance to ensure
that our foreign policy is not unrea-
sonably biased. There is certainly no
logical explanation aside from
fanaticism to account for these ter-
rorists' total disregard of human
lives, but even if we ara able to cap-
ture or eHmtMte the masterminds
such as Osama bin Laden. the
threat of terrorism will not likely
recede.
It ts to our best interest' as a
nation to try to find out why these
people cpuld hate us so much ~t
they would even consider blowing
themselves up just to hurt us. Per-
haps there is never going to be a
solution to this problem, but not
another American should die due to
lack of trying.
JOHN T.OilU
Newport Beach
Tuesday, Sept. 11, will be etched
in history as the day the world
changed. This will be known as the
day ot a new reality, the day that we
have to reckon with the internation-
al terrorism directed at the arro-
gance of the new administration's
policies that not only anger our foes,
but alienate our allies as well
However, this reality is not new,
but started with the initial bombing
of the Wodd 'Il'ade Center years
ago. New York City got off relative-
ly easy, as the U.S. government bas
anticipated an attack with biological
weapons of mass destruction that
would., and could, kill millions in
New York.
lb.en there is that question of the
nuclear weapons that were lost (sold
to shadowy groups?) during the
break up of the Soviet Union. Of
course, as the United Stat.es is the
only superpower on this planet, we
wiif be a target.
But the solution to these new
challenges we face is not more
.tanks, killer satellites, or Star War
systems, but a reamation that the
challenges we face are not in the
tnu:HtiQnal sense, but what bas been
d8velopiDg for years: religious suici-
dal fanaticism. What has happened
regionally in Ireland, the Balkans.
Central Atrica and the Middle East

ceremoniously taking it down each

society that these displays seem to
have gone by the wayside and was
sadder still that I never noticed that
before.
Our society once assumed every
American followed a spiritual path
so strong that stores were not
opened on Sunday. Now, the desire
to be politically COll'eCt and separa-
tion of church and state has put faith
in the closet ... something to be
held privately for fear of offending.
Well, out of sight. out otmind. Chil-
dren's sports, for example, now

ing those who practice rellgkJD to be
in the uncomfortable position ot tak-

the events.
The terrorists, as misguided as
they may be1 live their religion
every walclng moment. Their
actions are focused on what they
believe to be the ultimate reward of
their beliefs. It is this passion that
allowed them to complete their
heinous acts against humanity.
The coming war will be one not :1J of our nations' military strength
resolve, but one of humanity
and the reign of good over evil If
we are to S\JIVTI(e this war on an
emotional level, we· need not just
weapons ot destruction but of faith
as well. We all need to embrace our
faith, whatever it may be, and live it
every day. The good people and
religions of the world outnumber
the misguided few. It is time to dis-
play that we are not just a natJon
with strength of arms, but also of
faith. We can create a world where
we all ·do unto others as we would

day. My feelings cannot be
desaibed in words, our country was
attacked, thousands ot people were
killed, 1 have repeatedly heard this
called the second Pearl Harbor. My
pain is not so much for the people
that died. although it is very tragic
to say the least. their suffering is
over. My pa.in is for the hiends and
family of those people, for our coun-
try as a whole. 1 have asked myself
a thousand times "What I can do to
help, and there's not much, being
one small voice in a nation where
everyone is shouting. I am devastat-
ed because of what bas happened
here, because millions of people are
in mourning for their family and
friends that died. I am wrtting to ask
for your help.
On the night of Tuesday, Sept
11, I spent a few hours cutting up
navy blue ribbon and putting them
on safety pins, I spent a few more
hours handing them out at my <X>l-
lege and other places the next day,
and I am continuing to do this for es
long I need to. I am asking t:>eoPle
to pin these blue ribbonl to-their
shirt, bag, pW'Se, jacket, wherever,
to show our sadness for tbe people
who died and to show our support
for the peo~sti.11 llving. ~ would · to ask people if they
can spare a few bucks and 80IDl8
time to s1t down and make some '
ribbons. To wear one Oil their lbb1I
for the next few days or weeks, to
show that we are united in this
tragedy, to show our compassion for
America. I chose navy blue for a few
reasons, it is the darkest blue, a feel-
ing many of us are struck with after
the deaths of so many Americans,
but also because it is the color on
the flag that supports the 50 stars.
As President Bush said, freedom
was attacked, these blue ribbons
also support our freedom.
We can all unite by wearing a
blue rlbbon. so many people have
been affected by this. What a good
feeling it may be for someone
whose son or daughter, mother or
father was in those buildings to see
so many people support them.
Like I said before, I am only a
small voice in a nation where mil-
lions are shouting about this. I am asking to use your voice, to ask peo-
ple to do this, to tell them this is
happening in Costa fviesa and New-
port Beach. It could happen over the
entire nation. Already from banding
these ribbons out for two days, I
have had ~ple volunteer to go out and them. and give
them to their fl'tends, family, neigh-
bors and co-workers.
l am tom between emQtions over
what happened in New York. all of
thOle emotions are too strong to be
dalatbad with woros, and I think
that inilldna and wearing these rib-
bam wOulcl help bring us together.

Forget race, age, sex. religion l\nd

I've never really thought much
about bei,ng an American, buttlj'(e
been thinking a lot about it the
past few days. I don't know ~ne
that was killed over there, yet l {lJTl
still deeply affected by these
events, and I realized that it.is1'
because I am connected to ea~
and everyone of those people that
died. I'm connected to them •
because we live iii the same coun-
try, a country that bas been
attacked, a country that terrorists
are trying to separate.
When people commit hate ''
crimes against Americans bee~
they have the same skin color as
Osama bin Laden. the tenorist9 'are
getting what they want. Wberlffle
are separating because of race and
religion. we are weak. We nee3 to
stay together through this, w~
to be strong. I'm not saying wear-
ing a ribbon will 10lve our prob-
lems.. All I'm sa~ ls that lf you're
wearing a rtbbon and you see
someone else wearing a ribbon,
you feel like you're closer to that
person. You know that penon feels
like you do, that person wu affect-
ed too and wantl to support our
nation and the people In lt. And the
Closer we are u the people of the
United States, the harder it will be
to destroy us and out freedom.

Giving her time to fight Breast cancer
Aletha Anderson, chair of the Orange Cowity race committee, talks about her dedication to the cause
W ith Orange
County's 10th
annual Race
fortheCure
just a week away-it'll be
held Sunday, Sept 23, at
Fashion Island-last-
minute preparations are
being made at the Susan G.
Komen Breast Cancer
Foundation office in Costa
Mesa.
On Thwsday, Assistant
City Editor James Meler sat
down with Aletha
Anderson, now in her sec-
ond year as Orange
County's race chair, to dis-
cuss her involvement and
what it takes to prepare an
event that will bruig togeth-
er more than 25,000 racers.
1bis Is your second year
as cha1r of the race ln
Orange County. Where did
you do It beforel
In 1992, which was the
first race in Orange County, I
had a small part on the com-
mittee and then we moved
away and lived in Colorado
for five years. And I became
very involved with the race
committee in Colorado
Springs. And I chaired it there
and co-chaired it there. So
when I moved back here, I
called them up and told them
"I know a lot about the
Komen Foundation and this
event, what can I do?" So I
ended up chairing it as soon
as I moved back.
How did you get lnvotved
ln the event lnlUallyf
I knew someone ... who
was one of th.e founding
chairs who brought it here
and she invited someone she
knew to an organizing meet-
ing. There was a woman
there who had breast cancer
who spoke about it and !i&d
"OK, before everyone leaves,
you're all going to sign up to
be on a committee,• and we
all did.
Seeing the event, rs jWJt a
positive, upbeat event tbt it's
just great to be iDYolved with.
When I was in Colorado
Springs, they were just bring-
ing the event in and it was
really fabulous to be Involved
with something new and see-
ing it grow. 1bat was really,
really rewarding.
Is that what bas kept you
ln lt1
I think so much of the
Komen foundation and bow
the Komen foundation 1s run
both in Dallas and here in
Orange County. Ifs very vol-
unteer-driven. It's just over-
whelming -the volunteers
you meet and what they're
willing to do for the cause. It's
just so needed. 'The women
you meet who are breast can-
cer survivors and the stodes
you bear really move you.
As the race cba.lr, rm also
on the board here, and you
see the need in the grant
requests and to know how
much the~ is really
needed and put to good use
here keeps you going. It just
makes you want to raise more
money because you know it's
needed to help women end
their families here in Orange
County.
II 8llCb race IUD•..,._
UODlll • ll WM DyoG M ... a.ey:·'Dgl . t really ii. Last year at the
race, we bad a parade for the
first time of breast cancer sur-
vivors. And it was just over-
whebnlng to stand on the
stage and to hear the music
and to see so many women in
pink. At first, I felt kind of sad
and I almost started to ay,
and then there was so much
positive energy. Most of them
were so jubilant and happy
and positive that I didn't feel
sad at all. Obviously, it is very
emotional for the SUIVivors
who are there. But to watch
people who have gone
through something life-
threatenin~ (be) stronger and
more positive really lifts
everybody up.
How do you tblnk thb
yeu"I na will be any dlller-ent. lf at allt
Well, it's our 10th year so
the things we do well we are
trying to repeat again and
keep it as orgcmized as can be
and with as little aowdiDg as
can be with that many peo..
pie. We're trying to finelle
the parking and shuttle buses
to make it even easier for
people to get In and out. We're going to repeat the sur-
~·_ parade. We have a
oe)ebrtty oomtng, ~we
haven't done every year.
We're going to have [IOI aka~
ing legend) Peggy Fleming,
who's a survivor, there for the
survivor oeremony.
. We feel that the event is
pretty well put on. We try to
make it fun as well as mean-
ingful and because it's our
10th year, we on the conunit-
tee are just more motivated to
do it well again.
How many nmnen and
spectaton do you expect wW
Jlttend this yeart
Probably between 30,000
and 35,000. Between 25,000
. and 30,000 will race. We had
over 25,000 last year. And it
looked like our numbers were
way ahead [this year), but
with the terrorist attacks this week. everYtbing bas slowed
down just as everything has
the last few days. We'll just
see how things go as life gets
back to normal.

We've put a lot more empha-
sis on the pledge prizes that
we're offerinq this year as a
way to motivate people to
bring in more pledge money.
We definitely feel we're in the
top 10 races across the coun-
try in raising money. I believe
there will be 114 Race for the
Cures this year.
How are the proceeds
dtvldedupf
1Wenty-five percent of
the money that we raise
goes back to the Komen
foundation headquarters in
Dallas and that gets put in
the pool of money for inter-
national research. That's one
of the ways they fund the
grants and all of the
research that they do.
Seventy-five percent of the
money stays right here in
Orange County. We have a
committee that's part of the
board that will evaluate all
the requests that we get. I
~the deadline is next
week for any groups that
want to apply for grant money from the Komen
foundation for next year.
We're required by the foun-
dation to give away the
money_ by the end of the
year. 1bey reellt::t us to give the money to the
community in a pretty
prompt fashion.

Actually, that program.
Charge for the Cure, mo&t of
that money goes to the natiml-
al foundation in Dallas. Some
of that money Fashion Island
will direct locally. The natiooal
headquarters have a lot of
companies that do promotions
for it October is National
Breast Cancer Awareness
Month so a lot of campaigns
will come out at this time.
They did it last year, but
Fashion Island is really pro-
moting the program this year.
So, tell me a lltUe about
what goes Into organlzlng a
race of tb1s magnitude.
It's a lot of work. During
the Friday night and Saturday
before the event, we basically
make a city behind PacificLlfe
and that's a lot of work just
making sure we get the right
amount of tables, chairs and
canopies. And we work very
closely with the city of
Newport Beach on the roads
and parking and ctirecting
traffic to make sure that goes
as orderly as possible.
We work throughout the
year with our corporate spon-
sors. And every year, those
sponsors change to some
degree and every year, they
donate services of some kind
and every year, that's differ-
ent. So that just takes a lot of
time. There's just a million
details to get it right.
We use about 1,400 volun-
teers on race weekend, so
finding those volunteers and
assigning them takes a lot of
coordinating. It's amazing that
that many people volunteer
and what people do to help
us. They take vacation days to
help us. It's just fantastic.
Do you have anything else
you want to add that I
haven't uked abouU
Well, I hope everyone
comes to the race this year to
help us celebrate the 10th
event It's a real milestone
and we're very proud of it
I'd like to thank Orange
County and the community
because Orange County has
really supported this event
over the past nine years. We
know it's because breast can-
cer bas touched so many peo-
ple here and they've respond·
ed. It's not just that we put on
a great event. It's obviously a
disease that touches a lot Qf
people and I just want to
thank the c:ommunity for
making us what we are, ooe
of the largest fund-raising
events in Orange County.
We'd like to share our 10th
annlvenary with everyooe.

They didn't know any of the
victim$. They've never met
the rescue workers. They only
know that their country needs
their help.
Children in the Newport-
Mesa area showed Saturday
that despite their age, they
will do what they can to help
to help the country move for-
ward after Tuesday's ghastly
East Coast terrorist attack.
lWo separate clans of dlil-
dren -none older than 10
-took to the streets Saturday
to raise money for strangers
more than 3,000 miles away.
A group of nine children
in the Harbor View housing
development raised nearly
$600 in four hours selling
small American flag decals.
The children asked for e
donation of at least a dollar
bufreceived contributions of
up to $60.
Matt Will~erson and
Connor Gaughan, both 9,
rode over on their scooters to
give $20 each to the cause.
And a number of luxury sport
utility vehicles and Mercedes
stopped to chip in.
All of the pToceeds will be
-sent to the American Red
Cross, said 8-year-old Ryan
Grable.
Megan Rucker, 9, was
among the children selling
flag decals on Port Renwick.
"It's my birthday today but
I wanted to sell these before
my party,• Megan said.
Neighbor Gary Fren.kiel,
owner of Tee Color Craft Silk
Screen Printers, donated
about 500 decals to the chil-
dren when he heard of their
fund-raising plan.
•1t•s so great to see them
out here,• Frenkiel said. "I
know this whole thing is hard
for them to understand, but at
least this makes them feel like
they are helping."
Peeling the same senti-
ment of empowerment, a fil· .
ferent group of children set
up a lemonade stand in
Newport Heights to raise
money for rescue workers
who are working to find sur-
vivors -and victims -of the
World Trade Center attack.
Jeff Newman, son of
Newport Beach Police Capt.
Tim Newman, and about
seven of his friends raised
about $250 selling lemonade,
cookies and chips.
·we've just been talking
about it at school, and 1 just
feel sad because of all the
people who died in the build-
ing,• the 10-year-old said.

group plans to sell more
lemonade today on Clay
Street, said 8-year-old Andy

~rlst attacks do not
reflect a policy or intelligenoe
failure, Seleseres said. Rather, it's
the inevitable weakne&'SeS d an
open society that make the
country susceptible.
•until we make it imposSihle
to gain access or make a fool-
proof system that doesn't allow
the 'bad guys' in, then some-
thing like this can always hap-pen,,, Sereseres said.
Sereseres speculated on
some of the reasons why the
attacks might have been car-
ried out, including vengeance
against U.S. foreign policy o~ as
a way to escalate the ongoing
conflict In the Middle East.
Una Kreidie, an authority on
the West-Islam cultural and
political divide, said frustration
and rage are inflamed when the
United States takes advantage
of its position as a negotiator
between Israel and the
Palestinians and takes sides.
•Tue United States says (itJ is
a mediator and is trying to reach
a peaceful resolution,• Kreidie
said. •If this is the cast, you can-
not just say, 'Israel is our
strongest ally.' This would create
anger."
Authorities are saying much
of the evidence thus far, as well
as their investigation, is impli-
cating suspects from the Midcf:Le
East, including Osama bm
Laden.
The appropriate military
response to the attacks ulti-
mately depends on the cause
and will be the first true test of
President Bush's foreign policy,
Sereseres added.
ln terms of deterrence,
Patrick Morgan, the former
director of the Global Peace and
Conflict Studies Center, sug-
gested the United States exert
more pressure on governments
that harbor and assist terrorists
and increase its capacity to arrest
suspected terrorists before they
strike.
"The United States has more
intelligence capabilities to try
and ferret out terrorist groups
and communications ... than
any other government,• Morgan

There is the possibility of a

sumption and investmen1t and

could lead to a weaker ~ollar

stock market and Jntemational
monetary systems, he said.
Navarro emphasized t:Qne IS
of the essence.
"If those two shocks a.rt? not
addressed by the presideni and
the chairman of the Fe4eral
Reserve in an expeditiowl and
proper way, we run the risk of a
much deeper and longer reces-
sion that will start here and basi-
cally affect the whole Vf orld
economy,• Navarro said.
Another domestic challjmge
is how the country's leaders
respond to the issue of national
security, Sereseres said. He
issued a caveat about quick fixes
that would infringe on the
nation's basic values.
·Although I'm a foreign pol·
icy specialist and support mill·
tary action, my immediate con-
cern is we don't start tampering
too much with our basic values
and our basic access and free.

obstacles,• Sereseres said.
Bridging the gaps between
the West and Muslims is also of
paramount importance, Kre1die
stressed.
"It's the role of leaders -and
the leaders in this country, that's
the media, politicians, teachers,
parents -to take this stereo-

HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL
Newport Harbor dominates Vikings to
avenge recent struggles against Marina.
Barry Faulkner
DAJLY PILOT
WESTMINSTER -In this lime of
supreme patriotism, it was the football
team for which Stars & Stripes Is not only
a symbol, but a helmet logo, that appeared
to recapture some old glory Saturday night.
•Maybe it was fitting the team with the
flag on its helmets won tooJght, • said SCOlllOAll
Newport Harbor High Coach Jett Brinkley, Nau•Oft 28
after his Sailors' banner 28-0 nonleague .._... o
triumph over Marina at Westminster High
It was the first win or the young season for the Sailors, wbo
tied Orange Lutheran last week. It was also the first win over
Marina in three yea.rs, after tying in 1999 and losing last fall.
•It feels good to get that first win this year,• said Newport
senior quarterbaclc Morgan Craig, whose four touchdown
passes were a c.a.reer high and the most in recent single-game
memory for a Harbor signal caller. •Espedally against Marina.
We've developed a little rivalry against those guys and this
was the first time I've beaten them in three varsity seasons.·
Craig's passing efficiency, be completed 12 of 14 to six
different receivers for 135 yards without an interception,
was only part of the success story for the Sailors.
Junior tailback Dartangan Johnson dashed for 208 yards
on 26 carries, 144 of which came in the first half.
And, not so insignificant, was the play of the Harbor
defense. Playing without one returning starter from last
season. the Tars allowed Marina's deepest penetration to
the Harbor 25-yard line, late in the final period. Marina,
which scored 40 points in a season-opening win over
Paramount. ran 13 offensive plays in Sailor territory and
never came close to scortng.
·we bad extra time to prepare, when the game was
rescheduled (from Thursday to Saturday, due to the terrorist
attacks on the East Coast Tuesday),• Newport outside
linebacker 1\'ler Miller said •Marina put it to us early, but
we earned (the shutout).•
Marina, operating in the veer, man.aged just 49 yards on
the ground, u the Sailors stuffed nine of their 2A rushing
attempts for negative yards. Eight more Marina plays picked
up 3 yards or less and the Vtldngs' biggest ground gain (19
yards) came on the third play of the game.
With a slightly ahered offensive line of tackles Robert
Chal and John Debrott, guards Bryan Breland and Ollis
Badorek, center Jeff Marshall and tight end Joe Foley
m\l.lcling Marina's defense, John.son aiid Craig bad room to
operate.
Johnson produced 70 yards during Harbor's second-
quarter touchdown drives of 76 and 69 yards, respectively.

On a day that went without Major LA....._ 15 League Baseball and NCAA DtvtDon I occ 2t

played some football. The NPL abo
postponed its games this week in the aftermath of th~
terrorist attacks on America.
With m seoonds rematntr19, fourth down from the 20-y~

snap that dribbled across the football fteld. He was tackled,
the final gun fired and the game ended with the Sea.bawkj
ralsing their bands in celebration of a 35-29 victory. ~
This was just another juco football game. But for a littl
over three hows on Saturday, here at LeBard Stadium
OCC and L.A. Harbor offered entertainment. suspense an
a bit of escape from the tragedy that spilled out onto this
weekend.
"It was an emotional week for allot us,• sakl Bucs Coach
Ml.Ice Tclylor. •1 told our kids to go out and play ban:l ... there's
thousands of people who will never get another chance to

just came up short. There's some things we need to correct
and we have to get better.•
Improvement is expected soon as. OCC will play at El
Camino Saturday at 1 p.m. Against L.A. Harbor. the Bucs
cut down on their penalties from a week before, but it was
turnovers that cost them the game. Also, the Seahawks'
vaunted passing attack became OCC's demise.
With simple-looking pa.Ues, LA. Harbor quarterback
Melvin Yarbrough picked the Bua apart with 298 yank and
three touchdowns on 23 of 49 passing.
OCC bas now surrendered 690 passing yards and four
touchdowns in its first two games.
Higgs, however, oountered with S<lOl8 power of his own.
He threw for 285 yards and three touchdowns on 15 of 26
puling. Recetvem Vince Strang (three catches for 128 yards end cne toubdown), Jonathan Ja.cboo (4..s&, 1 TD) and tight
end Brandon Hall (6-58, 1 TD) were the beneficarles.
But Higgs saw his tipped pass fall into the Seahawk.s'
bands for an interception in the third quarter. The turnover
lf'd to Yarbrougb's 12-yard touchdown pass to Chris
Christopher as L.A. Harbor ate up some clock. They used
nearly five minutes and went 58 yards on 12 plays to gain
a 28-17 lead.
The Buar'(1·1) quickly answered as Higgs led speedy
wide receiver Vlooe Strang for a SS.yard toudldown just~
seconds after the Seahawks bad ICOled.
But a SS.yard nm by Brandy Ruael1. who rushed for i4J
yards and two touchdowns oo 23 carries, set up ~
Yarbrough TD pe11. This time the quarterblck to
wkle-open Jason Mttcbell, for bis aec::ond touchdown.
Not abort on cbaracter, the Bua later came back
another acore as Higgs lofted a deep ball to Jackson f
' 46-yard touchdown..
With lea than five minutes rematnlng, the Bua bad
another d:dve end when Anthony Campo fumbled Oil Ulla$-
and·tndles from L.A. Harbor'l .W.yard line. But the Baes
were able to win the ball back after the Seahawk.s turned
the ball over on downs, giving Orange Coast its last cbance.
