noon when a jury declared Steven Allen Abrams
legally• sane when he drove bis car into a crowded
Costa Mesa preschool 'playground in May 1999,
lQlling two children and injuring five others.
The jury's decision, which came after about three
hours of deliberation, ensures either the death
penalty or life in prison for Abrams, 40.
If the 12-member jury had dec;jded he was
insane, Abrams could have spent the rest of his life

Dynamite scare turns out to be an enipty threat
• Students at Whittier Elementary are evacuated, but
50-pound box found in a shed poses no danger in end.

COSTA MESA -Police evacu-
ated about 1,500 people from a
Costa Mesa neighborhood Monday
afternoDn after the discovery of
what was first believed to be a 50-
pound box of dynamite stored in an
old shed across the street from
Whittier Elementary School.
The box, however, turned out to
be empty.
The container in question was
uncovered around noontime by a
man who was cleaning out the
shed for a frtend, Eudora Britt.
Britt's estranged husband, Bob
Britt, once lived in the house on
West 18th Street but had passed
away about six months ago, said Lt.
John PitzPatrick of the Costa Mesa
-Pulice Department.
"It was an expensive (but) good
thing,• FitzPatrick said. "When you
put in all that time, energy and
adrenaline, you're expecting some-
thing, so it was somewhat anticli-
mactic. But, of course, the '8fety of
residents comes first. When we're
dealing with a bomb, we have to
err on the side of caution.•
Among those evacuated were
the nearly 600 children at the ele-
mentary school.
Within half an hour of the dis-
covery, officials had been notified
and the school's disaster training
was put to use. .
Children were removed from
classrooms and ushered to the edge
of the property -as far from dan-
ger as possible.
"We have a bucket of things to
keep the kids occupied -books
and things,• said Sharen Gasior, a
kindergarten teacher at Whittier.
"We've been with the kids the
whole time.•
Children who take the bus home
were put on their buses and sent
home. Parents of students who
walk or stay for after-school pro-
grams were called immediately to
pick up their children.
•1 didn't know what was hap-
pening. They just said it was an
emergency and I had to come pick
up my brother, Ryan,• said Janette
Cook. 17, who rushed to the school

Janette's mother, Madelene, was
one of hundreds who rushed franti-
cally to the school, unsure of what
was happening .
"I got really scared," she said. •1
didn't know what was going on.•
A line of siblings, parents and
caregivers wound around the
school as officials carefully
accounted for each student before

allowing them to leave.
"We're literally signing kids
out,• said Mike Pine, the Newport-
Mesa school district's assistant
superintendent of business ser-
vices. "We want to account for
every child and make sure none
wander over there.•
While school officials were send-
ing children home, police were
going door to door, ordering resi-
dents living within half a mile of
the area to evacuate.
Residents reacted with a mixture
of disbelief, fear and irritation.
"I thought it was a meth lab or
something,• fyay Simmerman. an
employee of Boatswain Locker,
Inc., said of the evacuation. "Just
because of what I hear from this
neighborhood, I expected drugs.

Residents were taken to the Cos-
ta Mesa Senior Center, where the
Orange County chapter of the
American Red Cross provided food
and drinks to evacuees.

that the box did not pose a threat.
nearly 10 different agendes and
emergency services departments
were called to the scene.

THE VERDICT
Strange jetty
leads to even
stranger
activi,ty
D uring the 1920s, the
rocks at the shoreline
of the west jetty had
sunk to the waterline. This
meant that .when the surf
was up, waves would come
crashing through this hole
in the jetty, resulting in
overturned boats and, in
some cases, loss of lives.
And so the City Council
told the city engineer to
plug up that hole.
He did as ordered, but
apparently had some rocks
left over.
He then did a most pecu-
liar thing. He built a new
jetty at a right angle to the
existing jetty. He ran this
new jetty along the shore-
line a couple of blocks. It
was absolutely useless.
However, it was there
and a couple 10-year-old
boys -Tagg Atwood and
Bob Gardner, neither of
whom was blessed with
much common sense -cre-
ated a new sport at that jet-
ty, although "sport" might
not be an appropriate word
for it.
The boys would go down
to the shoreline and hang
on to the rocks on the ocean
side of the jetty as the surf
hit them. Their activity was
almost as weird as that of
the city engineer who built
the jetty.
Well, word got out about
the boys' strange a ctivity
and pretty soon they played
to fair-sized crowds. The
audience watched the boys
get pounded by waves,
waiting for a big enough
wave to knock them loose
from the rocks and wash
them out to sea. I guess it
was the same kind of crowd
that watches men commit
suicide by jumping off tall
buildings.
Of course, the inevitable
happened. A really big
wave bit the boys and
ripped them loose from their
respective rocks.
However, instead of
pulling them out to sea, this
wave washed them up and
over the jetty.
When the boys landed on
the sand behind the jetty,
they looked at each other in
horror. They were covered
in blood. Their trip over the
sharp rocks bad cut them in
literally hundreds of places.
Some were mere scratches,
othen were pretty good
gashes.
The big problem for the
boys was what to tell their
families. Each was an
accomplished liar, but they
couldn't come up with a sto·
ry that would account for all
those gashes, cuts and abra-
sions.
Under no circumstances
did they intend-to tell their
families the truth. Nobody
could be as dumb as they
bad been.
I don't know what Tagg
told bis mother, but I wW
never forget my confronta·
tion with my older sister,
with whom I lived.
J had made up a real
cockamamie story, but I
never got a chance to tell
it.

AMERICAN LEGION
LEASE EXTENSION
City officials propose to
keep

extend the lease for Ameri·
can Legion Post 291 until
March 15, 2002. On Oct. 25,
1999, the City Council
extended the lease until

home park, which occupied
the same city-owned land,
has a lease until March 15,
2002.
The city leases the land
for S300 per month, plus
money from legion parking
stalls, marina slip rentals,
and dry storage areas and
lockers. The city receives
about $105,000 annually
from th&lease.
In August, the council
entered an exclusive negoti·
ating agreement with a
developer who plans to

FUNDS FOR
COMMUNITY CENTER
The Balboa Island M~
um and Historical Society
has proposed to buy the old
Balboa Island Fire Station
and turn it into a communi·
ty center and museum. The
society expects to pay
$750,000 for the building
and about S250,000 to reno-
vate it. With a commitment
to raiSe S650,000, the soci-
ety is asking the city to pick
up the difference.
City offkials propose to
enter an agreement with
the society that would set
aside $350,000 in city money
for the project, as long as
the society can raise its share
and commits to using the
building for those purposes.
What to expect If the
city council approves the
recommendations, city offi·
dais will prepare a budget
amendment to allocate the
funds.

Qty: reservoir sale safe for bay under old pact
• Before selling its share
of San Joaquin Reservoir,
council sought a binding
agreement with water
district, but already had one.
Matthis Winkler
DAILY PILOT
NEWPORT BEACH -Environ-
mental activists said Monday that a
previous agreement between the
dty and the Irvine Ranch Water Dis-
trict to prevent the release of
reclaimed water into the Back Bay
isn't strong enough to support the
sale of the city's share in a reservoir.
•For those of use who will stay
here, it's unacceptable to have a 10-
year plan," said Bob Caustin, the
founding direct.or of Defend the Bay.
"This does not solve the problem. It
merely postpones the inevitable:
Before letting go of its 1.18%
share of the San Joaquin Reservoir
-six other agencies have already
sold theirs -the City Council
sougbt a binding agreement to
ensure that the water dlstrlct would
not dump treated waste water into
the Back Bay.
Tonight. the ooundl will discuss
the posslb1e sale to the water dJs..
trid, which plans to turn the unused
reservoir into a storage basin for
reclaimed water.
At a Sept. 26 oound1 meeting, re.i.-
dents and oound1 memben expeS90d
conoem about the water district's
refusal to sign a binding agreement
However, dty otndals are now sug-
gesting that a 1996 pad between the
city. the hvine R8nc:h Water DiWict
and the Orange County Water~
should eliminate cxmoems.
Under the 1996 •no discharge"
agreement, the Orange County
Water District accepts excess flows
of reclaimed water.
State water quality control offi-
ciaJs allow the water d.istrlct to dump
reclaimed water into the San Diego
Creek Channel -which feeds into
the bay -after serious rainstonns.
In order to prevent the Irvine
Ranch Water Dtltrlct from releasing
reclaimed water into the Back Bay,
the city agreed to find several areas
th.at would use the water for irriga-
tion instead
While :Juty City Manager
Dave Kiff the 1996 agreement
will protect the bay through 2011,
he added that it was unclear what
would happen after that date. Kiff
said an increasing demand for
reclaimed water in Irvine, more
users in Newport Beach, or a better
way to treat the waste water could
solve the P.roblem at that time.
Councilman Gary Adams, who
bas objected to selling the city's
share without a binding agreement,
said there was still time to d>me up
with a solution.
Caustin said a long-term solution
should be in place before the sale.
•Tue dty can be part of the solu-
tion,• he said, •by requirtng Irvine
Ranch Water District to build a
pipeline to get rid of treated
sewage. Or (the city can] approve
something that is shortsighted and a
short-term avoiding of reality."

WHOPPER #4. Elecrions cost mo~y -$2 to $3 million ovu IM
past ten years if Measure S was in effect, diverting millions of dollars from
importanl priorities such as public safety and paramedic services.
False. Measure S never requires a special election! Measure S puts its
measures on the ballot at regular elections which are being held anyway, so
Measure S never rcq~ an additional election. (To check, read the text
in your voter's pamphlet, page 30-141, paragraph 2 ,middle of line 3.)
The claim that Measure S will cost millions is based on the idea that it
requires special elections. But with no extra elections at all, this entire
~t evaporates.

it was safe to release him.
Jurors instead will determine
Abrams' punishment in the third
phase of the trial, which begins
Thursday.
Oq Monday, the pa.rents of the
two children who died, 4-year-old
Sierra Soto and 3-year-old Brandon
Wiener, smiled through their tears
when the court clerk read the verdict
finding Abrams sane on all charges
filed -two counts of murder and
five counts of attempted murde r.
Sierra's l!lother, Cindy Soto,
clutched a picture of her daughter
close to her heart. She was comfort-
ed by her father and her ex-hus-
band, Eric Soto. ·
Brandon's mother, Pam Wiener,
also held a photo of her child, show-
ering it with kisses as she heard the
verdict. The decision came on the
eve of what would have been Bran-
don's fifth birthday.
Costa Mesa Police Chief David
Snowden said he was pleased with
the jury's verdict.
Both prosecution and defense
lawyers -Deputy•Dist. Atty. Debora
Lloyd and Public Defender Denise
Gragg -refused to comment on the
trial .until it is completed. Parents
and family members also declined to
comment.
Monday's verdict came after more
than a month of testimony, including
those from about 18 psychiatrists
and psychologists. Some witness tes-
timonies required an entire day and
one lasted more than two.
Gragg attempted to portray
Abrams as a paranoid schizophrenic
haurtted by "brain wave people"
who wanted to make him a killer.
.She tried to establish that he killed
the children to get back at the brain
wave people.
Lloyd argued that Abrams' psy-
chosis was caused by years oJ drug
abuse.
The Orange County District
Attorney is pushing for the death
penalty in the case, and in January
filed a special circumstances charge
alleging that Abrams was lying in
wait before he committed the
crimes.

Britt told police that her bus·

officers initially believed the
suspected explosives might be
related to his work.
At one point, the Orange

On Aug. 24 , the jury found
Abrams guilty of two counts of mur-
der and several counts of attempted
murder.
"This verdict is good to hear,• he
said. "We've hit this point and phase
two is over. But there's nothing to
feel yet, till it's all over. tt
Helene Dillon, an 18th Street
resident, said she was relieved
"It really scared me," she
said. "What if it bad been dyna-

have to worry about the Irvine
Co. because we are not going
to do that.'•
Hunt said the company
killed ·plans for an expansion
project at Newport Center
that called for more than 1.1
million square feet of office
space, induding a pair of six-
story buildings and 150 resi-
dential units.
Although the company had
spent several hundred thou-
sand dollars in planning the
project. in January it cariceled
the proposal in anticipation of
Measure S.
Pacific Life, which has
headquarters at Newport
Center. also announced
recently that it has no plans to
expand its offices in the city.
·we pulled our project off
the shelf and immediately
directed our expansion efforts
to South County,• wrote Bob
Haskell, Pacific Life's senior
vice president, in a letter to the
Daily Pilot. He added that 400
company employees had been
moved down south.
•Our current plan is to
maintain our headquarters
here in Newport for as long as
is feasible,· Haskell wrote.
•Voters in Newport Beach
should make up their nunds
about (Measure SJ without
falling prey to scare tactics that
seek to create the fear that our
project will resurface again."
Measure S proposes to put
before a citywide vote any
development that allows an
increase of more than 100
peak-hour car tnps or
dwelling units or 40,000
square feet over the general
plan allowance.
In September, the Irvine
Co. endorsed Measure T,
which would add parts of the
city's traffic phasing ordinance
to the City Charter and nullify
Measure S, should voters
approve both measures.
So far, the Irvine Co. has
donated $34,000 to the Mea-
sure T campaign.
The Irvine Co. owns 435
acres in Newport Beach,
about 4.75% of the aty's land
area.
While calling the lrvine

Phil Arst, a spokesman for

"We welcome their pro-
gressive step. but it does not

The recent actions by the
Irvine Co. and Pacific Life
eliminated only a few devel-
opments that would have
added to traffic congestion in
Newport Beach, he added.
·But taking four or five out
still leaves some rather hor-
rendous ones over our heads,·
Arst said. citing a proposed
hotel and conference center at
the Newport Dunes and a
566,000-square-foot expan-
sion project by Conexant Sys-
tems as examples
Measure T supporters
could not be reached for com-
ment Monday.
Hunt said the lrvme Co.'s
decision did not come easily.
"I think that any time you
deprive yourseli of the flexibil-
ity to be able to make changes
to meet a commuruty's needs,
you have to be disappointed in
that decision,· he said.
But as a company with a
history of more than 50 years
in the development of New-
port Beach, the Imne Co. had
a desire to alert residents to the
effects Measure S would have
on the city's future. Hunt said.
·.·People already have a
right to overturn City Council
decisions,• he said , adding
that residents who oppose a
project. for example, cart col-
lect 51gnatures for a referen·
durn.
Exposmg all developments
exceeding the thresholds set
forth by Measure S to a city-
wide vote "puts a tremendous,
chilling effect on any
landowner,· Hurtt continued.
"To go through the planning
process and then go to a cote
of the people ... I wouldn't do
1l. I would take my business
elsewhe re.
·Don't vote for Measure S

may not do.· Hunt said. ·vote

of how it will affect your per-

EDUCATIONALLY SPEAKING
Does pro-voucher
campaign have
an identity crisis?
T he campaign mail is starting to
come hot and heavy. I think the
only candidates who have not
promised to reform education are the
ones nm.n.ing for the water board.
However, my latest information
about a ballot issue is from the Pacific
Justice Institute, which says it is a
nonprofit legal defense organization
in Citrus Heights. Its release is about
the importance of Proposition 38, the
school voucher initiative.
This initiative would give each stu-
dent in California a $4,000 voucher to
spend at the school of his or her par-
ent's choice. It doesn't matter if the
student already attends private school
or what his or her test scores might be.
The No. 1 concern of the Pacific
Justice Institute and the reason they
urge you to vote yes on Proposition
38 is that otherwise there is nothing
to prevent public or private school
teache• -vho are men from becom-
ing women.
If your child's male teacher
announced he was going to become
a woman or planned to dress like
one, there is nothing you could do to
get your child transferred from that
class. If you pass Proposition 38, at
least children attending private
schools would be safe.
To think, in all of the hours I have
thought about my children 's educa-
tion or about the future of education
in America, I have never once wor-
ried about my children's male teach-
ers deciding to become women in the
middle of the school year.
Let's face it, a good many of them
are follicle-challenged, so I guess it
would start a new trend of bald
women teachers. Many male teachers
just get past the fashion police as men.
They might be held to a higher
standard if they dressed as women.
Most teachers don't bave that much
expeadable cash to, all of a sudden,
get an entire new wardrobe. We are
lucky to see them in a couple new
shirts each year. On what a teacher
makes, I don't think they could
afford transsexual operations. They
would have to give up teaching and
get a job in the private sector to
afford something like that.
Of more concern to me is the lan-
guage alleg~y bullt into the proposi-
tion with regard to the effect of regula-
tions on private schools. Any regula-
tions on schools from 1999 and into the
fuarre would require a vote of both
houses of the state Legislature before
they would apply to a private school.
Local regulations would only apply if a
majority of qualified electors-voted,
and then two-thirds of them voted to
make it applicable to a private school.
Land-use regulations would be
virtually inapplicable to private
schools, allowing them to open with-
out regulations that would be in
place for public schools or private
businesses that were not schools.
Finally, the release suggests that
home-schooled kids would not have
to deal with current regulations.
H a parent could get his or her
home school accredited, then the par-
ent would qualify for the $4,000
voucher for his or her own child. If that
parent didn't charge himself or herself
all of the $4,000 to home-sdlool their
child, he or she could save the remain-
der to use for college tuition. So, what
would prevent a mom from home-
schooling her 5-year-old for a year and
collecting tha.t $4,000?
Then she could have it held for
her dlild's college tuition and start
her child tn school a t age 6 as an
older kindergartener.

COMMUNITY COMMENTARY -,
Measure S erodes Newport's quality t>f life
By Gary Hunt
0 n Nov. 7, the resi-
dents of Newport
Beach face a ballot
measure that will have a
significant and long-term
impact on the quality of
life of our dty. At issue is
whether Measure S should
be approved or rejected by
the voters.
The Irvine Company
and the commmµty have
been partners for over 50
years in planning and cre-
ating what is clearly one of
California's finest cities.
Working in partnership
with the city and its resi-
dents, we have created a
special community that,
because of thoughtful and
careful planning, has a
high quality of life. This
quality of life is enjoyed by
every resident and busi-
ness in our city today.
It is this quality of life
that all of us strive to pre-
serve and protect for gener-
ations to come. In Septem-
ber, after careful review,
The Irvine Company stated
MAILBAG
Ther e is more to
life than {:Jreenlight
its opposition to Measure S.
.4.s we stated, Measure S,
the GreenliQht initiative,
eliminates the dty planning
process and replaces it with
a process that encourages
piecemeal development
and subjects complicated
planning issues to political
slogans with no long-tenn
planning structure for
maintaining Newport
Beach's quality of life.
There are those who
believe that our opposition
to Measure S is based on
self interest. They claim
our position originates
solely from a desire to seek
future additional general
plan amendments in New-
port Beach without having
to submit future plans to
the voters.
To correct this inaccurate
view and to ensure that all
Newport Beach voters con-
sider Measure S based on
facts, not fear, we wish to
inform the residents of
Newport Beach that The
Irvine Company will not
seek any future amend-
ments to the general plan
Voters need to put a red light
on Newport Beach City Council
candidates campaigning on traffic
issues.
This emotionally charged topic
is easy to associate with candidate
forums and public statements, but
the issue will already be decided
when they take office.
Yield to the need for emphasis
from candidates to focus on issues
such as our precious bay, John
Wayne Airport, aging infrastruc-
ture and business districts, water
quality and quality of life.
Stop focusing candidates on
traffic issues that will be decided
at the same election. We need
council members who don't walk
away from common sense or
merge with big developers.
of New-
port
Beach.
Further,
we will
not
build
any
more
bigh-
rise
Gary Hunt office
build-
ings in Newport Beach.
Given this commitment,
Measure S will have no
impact on the future plans
for The Irvine Company
properties in Newport
Beach, whether it passes
or not.
The Irvine Company
makes this commitment for
one very important reason.
We care very much about
the long-term quality of
life and preservation of
property valt,tes of all resi-
dents and landowners in
Newport Beach, whether
· they are a homeowner, a
small-business owner, or a
corporate owner.
It is our sincere hope that
in removing the public dis-
cussion of additional high-
rise office buildings and
applications for future gen-
eral plan amendments in
Newport Center, residents
will be able to base their
decisions on Nov. 7 not on
simple c.ampaign slogans
and fear tactics, but rather
on a thoughtful analysis of
what the long-term implica-
tions of Measure S will be
on a planning process that
has served the residents
and businesses of Newport
Beach well for more than 50
yea.rs.
After careful analysis by
our company, we ail? join-
ing many civic leaders in
our city, including The
Firefighters Association,
the Police Employees
Association, the Orange
County Taxpayers Associa-
tion, and the Newport Har-
bor Chamber of Com-
merce in opposing Mea-
sure S.
The Irvine Company
has a long history of pro-
viding financial support to
local organizations and
campaign efforts. The
recent Newport-Mesa
school bond effort is an
example. It is in this spirit
that The Irvine Company
has supported the efforts of
these groups that oppose
Measure S, and we plan to
continue to do so.
As an organization with
a 50-year commitment to
professional planning and
quality of life in Newport
Beach, it is our opinion
that Measure S, if
approved, will have a neg-
ative effect on property
values and, more impor-
tantly, a negative effect on
the quality of life that the
residents of Newport
Beach have all come to
value and appreciate.
We urge the residents of
Newport Beach to carefully
review Measure S and to
cast their vote based on a
complete and informed
understanding of itS effects.
• GMY HUNT is executive vice
president of The Irvine Company.
We need a median approach
that brings balance. Let's not wish
we could make a U-turn after
elections because we couldn't
hear enough of our candidates'
positions on other campaign
issues.
~ Hl.LER I DAl.V Pl.OT
Reader says Issues such as the possible expansion of John Wayne Airport need more attention.
However near and dear the
traffic and development problems
are for all residents, there is life
after Greenlight.

off, until we aren't doing real
well, then she steps in with
some chocolate chip cookies.

•Sea Kings ' defense suffocates
visiting Servile, 8-3. in nonleague

DAILY PILOT
CORONA DEL MAR -No matter what
happens elsewhere in the pool, defense will
always keep a water polo team afloat.
With host Corona del Mar High scoring on
just 3 of 14 shots in the second half, the Sea
Kings' defense stood firm Monday as Cd.M
defeated Servile, 8-3, in a nonleague game.
The Sea Kings (14-2), ranked No. 1 in CIP
Southern Section Division II, improved to 11-
0 since Coach John Vargas returned from the
Sydney Olympic Games, where he coached
the men's U.S. water polo team.
Corona del Mar shut out Servite (15-6) in
the first half, laking a 5-0 lead at intermis-
sion.
Early in the fourth quarter, with the Sea
Kings ahead, 5-2. Cd.M sophomore goalie
Beau Stockstill rejected a shot by Servite's
Adam Hewko and the Sea Kings scored on
the next possession to launch a three-goal
final quarter.
"I thought our defense did a good job. Our
offense just wasn't clicking," Vargas said.
·we've got a lot of firepower (with senior
Garrett Bowlus, junior Michael March and
sophomore Artie Dorr). And, today, we
forced things a little and got ahead of our-
selves.

Bowlus capped the second-quarter scor-
ing when Marcello Pantuliano dished a nice
pass lo him in the middle. Bowlus spun 360
degrees in the water with the ball and scored
with 2:37 left in the first half.
In the first half, junior Bobby Messenger
added two steals and a blocked pass for
Cd.M, while senior Chriss Street had two
steals in the second quarter and Dorr had
one.
Dorr, Bowlus and senior Chase Emery
provided the Sea Kings with steals in the
third quarter.

offense,· Servite Coach Jim Sprague said. "I
don't know if our offense was so poor

Emery scored on a man-up situation, after

The Sea Kings bave done most of tbelr
