SERVING THE NEWPORT-MESA COJ\.Wt~mES SINCE 1907 ON 1HE WEB: WWW.DAILYPILOT.COM NESDAY, OCTOBER 31, 2000 Abrams a 'sweet and .kind' man, family says • In effort to sway jury away frem the death penalty, daughter and siblings of Steven Allen Abrams testify Monday. Steven Allen Abrams as a "sweet and kind" man who loved, helped and protect- ed them. Abrams on Aug. 24 was convicted of _murdering two young children. This month, the jury found him to be legally sane in May 1999, when he drove his Cadillac into a crowded Costa Mesa playgrqund, killing the two children and On Monday, Abrams' 19-year-old daughter, Stephanie Young, told the court that her dad taught her to ride a bike, to play chess. He tucked her in at bedtime and was there to comfort her when she had a nightmare, said Young. Abrams did not react during his family members' testimonies, although he fidgeted, stroking his hair and rubbing his face. He asked to leave the room while his daughter was on the stand. The six defense witness- es who testified Monday during the trial's penalty phase painted a starkly dif- ferent picture of the man who in earlier hearings has been portrayed by his attor- neys as schizophrenic and "He also taught me to play the guitar,• she said with a laugh.

She has been fighting the tick.et since Augusl • Newport woman finds it difficult to cut through city bureaucracy, even though her argument is as clear as the marked me ter in front of her car. Mllthls Wlnkler DAILY PILOT W hen Noellne M. Frederiksen opened her mail Aug. 15, the notice of delinquency for a parking citation simply didn't make sense to her. She'd never seen the original citation, ' which bad been issued July 15. Some- how it must have fallen off the car, she thought. Receiving a citation in the first place didn't make sense. For the lo.st four years, Frederiksen and her husband, Richard, have pur- chased annual parking permits from the city. The pennit entitles the couple to park their car at meters ~n blue poles around the bay without having to feed them with money. The Ftederlk.sens, who own a cloth- ing store on the peninsula's Main Street and live above their business, have relied on the annual permits since there ts no place to park at thelr home. •we don't have a choice,• she said. ue ·we are at the mercy of public parking. We have to fight to get a blue meter." While she couldn't remember the exact spot she'd parked her car that day in July, Frederiksen doubted that she'd parked at a meter without a blue pole, so she asked the city to review her case. In late September, 1he received a let- ter stating that the btation had been upheld and that a $36 fine was due Oct. 12. •ACCORDING TO CITATION, METER NUMB.ER 1546 IS A Sil.VER POLE METER AND YOUR PERMIT IS FOR 'BLUE POLE METERS' ONLY," the letter screamed in caJ?italized letters.

Mathis Winkler DAILY PILOT NEWPORT BEACH -Right now, it's noth- ing but a draft, and dis- cussions ended in dis- agreement before Conexant Systems, Inc. withdrew its 566,000- square-foot expansion project in August. But supporters of Measure S -a growth- control initiative on the November ballot -are criticizing a proposed developers' agreement between the city and Conexant, saying the document would not force the company to pay for increased traffic the expansion would cause. "This is cleax: proof that the city is giving uriduly favorable treat- ment to this develop- ment at the expense of taxpayers." said Phil Arst, a spokesman for Measure S . He added that the draft document supported the mitia- tive's calling for voter review of general plan amendments. Measure S proposes to put before a c1tyw1de vote any development that allows an increase of more than 100 peak- hour car trips or dwelling uruts or 40,000 square feet over the general plan allowance Measure T. an opposing initiative, would add parts of the SEE CONEXANT PAGE 7 Crystal Cove building permits in question • Because Irvine Co. altered plans to discharge water, activist group has asked Coastal Commission to investigate. Alex Coolman DAILY PILOT CRYSTAL COVE - An environmental group is pushing for changes to, and a possible revo- cation of, the Irvine Co.'s Crystal Cove building permits in the wake of modifications to the developer's water dis- charge plans. The League for Coastal Protection, in a Friday letter to the Cali- fornia Coastal Commis- sion, argued that the Irvine Co. 's project has changed enough since it was approved that the existing permits are no longer adequate. •The (commission) staff (should) either process these substan- tial changes as a new permit or an amend- ment to the existing per- mit.• wrote Susan Jor- dan, who sits on the group's board of direc- tors.

Students at Newport Harbor High get a simple but sumptuous lesson in Italian cooking. Danette Goulet DAILY PILOT The aroma of fresh garlic and olive oil permeated the air as the thunderous aunch of 30 sets of teeth tearing into fresh bruschetta filled the room . Despite ha · just finished their lunch period, ~ents were eager to rip into food that was created for them as a demonstration by George Poston, the executive chef from Maggiano's Uttle Italy in Costa Mesa. In Janet Dukes' culinary arts .......... - classes, students are often cooking and sampling their own creations. But a lesson with edible benefits from a professional chef is always a welcome treat, Duke said. That treat began with Poston showing students in Dukes' health and nubition class at Newport Har- bor High School how to make real Italian bruschetta, demonstrating the proper way to slice the bread and cup the tomatoes. He showed students how simple it is to create a healthy appetizer sure to impress any guests. The main course he prepared, far- falle aglio, was also chosen for its simplicity. Creating the dish of bow tie pasta with chick.en, asparagus and sun- dried tomatoes in a light yet sumptu- ous garlic sauce took him less than half an hour. FYI • WHO: Janet Dukes' heatth and nutrition dass • WHA~ Cooking lesson from George Poston, executive chef at Maggiano's Little Italy • WHERE: Newport Harbor High School • MENU: Bruschetta and farf alle aglio Poston worked behind a demon- stration counter, little glass cups of chopped and measured ingredients laid out before him.

He also told students that having everything prepared beforehand allows one to saute the chicken using a high-heat setting to brown it, which is what gives it Oavor and cre- ates a wonderful aroma. Another interesting technical tid- bit that surfaced through conversa- tion was that broth is made from meat while stock is made from bones -not something most people need to know, but that may be the winning answer lo a trivia game one day. After bis demonstration, students were left with few questions. •How long is your hat?• asked freshman Francisco Quijano, 14, ges- turing .above his head to indicate a f chefs hat.

Pasadena-based ASL Consulting Engineers gave $1,000, Los Angeles- based Psomas $2,000 and Irvine-based RBF & Associ- ates $5,000. The Irvine Co. still leads the list of Measure T contrib- utors with $147,000. Others include the California Assn. have the group's backing. Barbara Liebman, chair- woman of the committee, explained that both candi-· dates were included because on the issue that matters to her group, both men have strengths. ·Tom Thomson in his role as an incumbent has been helpful to us, but we think also that Bob Wynn has a lot of qualities that would be helpful to the city." Liebman said. Also endorsed were New- port candidates Steve Bromberg and Gary Proctor and Costa Mesa candidates incumbent Heather Somers, Tom Sutro and Chris Steele. The group considered four factors in its decision: knowl- edge of Newport Beach avia- of Realtors, wh.ich gave $52,000, and the Building Industry of Southern Califor- nia, which gave $24,500. Measure T would add parts of the city's traffic phas- ing ordinance to the City Charter and nullify Measure S, should voters approve both measures. Measure S, also known as Gree!}light, proposes to put before a citywide vote any development that allows an increase of more than 100 peak-hour car trips or dwelling units or 40,000 square feet over the general plan allowance. Greenlight supporters received $1,000 from Ken- tion issues, commitment to opposing expansion of John Wayne Airport, support for an airport at El Toro and per- ceived competence at achiev- ing airport-related goals. Liebman noted that candi- dates' stances on other city issues were not part of the group's consideration. "Our criteria are exclu- sively aimed at airport-relat- ed issues,• she said.

FOR THE RECORD An item that appeared in Saturday's Besl Buys col- umn had the wrong date. Williams-Sonoma's open- ing was Oct 21. . I n my dayw u a sentenc-mg judge, befoce the ~ ailtuie end gangs Look over, there was a Tether rigid pecking order in our prisons. At the lop ol lhe heap w ere bank robbers and safe crackers. One bank robber made national headlines when asked why be robbed banks and answered, •Because that's where the money is." At the bottom Of the heap were child molesters. They had to be kept segregated for their own safety. Arson- isl's were in a spedal class. No one wanted to be around an arsonist. He was as likely as not to set your cell on fire. In between were all the thieves, burglars, con men. bad check artists and assort- ed felons. All of which brings up George. the dumbest bur- glar I ever met He was just plain dumb. George's specialty was service stations. He would break into a service station and then break into the cig- arette machine. Other bur- glars did the same, but they only took the money. George took the cigarettes, too. Thus, when he bied to sell the cigarettes, the cops always caught him. wen. be was so dumb I couldn't send him to prison, only to the county jail. Unfortunately for George. when I was on vacation. another judge didn't take so kindly to George and his horrendous record, and sent him to prison. Robert Gardner THE VERDICT Jn prison, George took up welding and learned bow to use an acetylene torch. Thus be went into prison an ordi- nary two-bit burglar and came out a safe cracker. Who says you can't get an education in prison? When George got out. he could hardly wait to crack his first safe. The occasion arose. First, he made a small hole in the top of the safe and filled the safe it water so the paper wouldn't bum up when he bit the door. Then he hit the door, got it open and grabbed fistfuls of paper money. Success! George was a safe cracker. But George was still dumb. He tried to pass the money while it was still wet and the cops grabbed him right away. George went right back to prison, but not as a penny ante burglar. 1llis time he went back as a safe cracker, the top of the heap.

CODE CONTINUED FROM 1 Responding to Frederik· sen's comment that she had- n't received a citation when her car was still parked in the same spot on July 16, the letter continued: •NoT ALL Il.LEGALLY PARKED VEHI- CLES GET CITATIONS AND YOU MAY HAVE JUST GOTTEN LUCKY ON THE 16TH.• Still convinced that there had been a mistake on the COVE CONTINUED FROM 1 should take on this issue,• said Mike Stockstill, a spokesman for the developer. ·Tue Irvine Co. is continuing to work closely with Coastal Commission staff to reach a resolution.· Plans for a 635-home area of the Irvine Co.'s Crystal Cove development were approved by the Coastal Commission in August. Since that time, the devel· oper has been trying lo satis· fy concerns raised by the San· ta Ana Regional Water Quali- ty Control Board, which has questioned the project's dis- charges of water into the ocean at Crystal Cove. Last Tuesday, the water board released the draft text of a cease-and-desist order that would require the lrvine Co. and three other agencies to stop all di.reel discharges of waler at the beach, which is considered an area of ·spe· cial biological sigrulicance. • In response to this pressure and threatened litigation from Orange County Coast- Keeper, the Irvine Co. has been steadily revising its plans. The developer sent a pair of letters earlier this month to the water board, detailing proposed modifications to its runoff drainage system. lnstead of dumping water through a 24-inch pipe and a box culvert, the letter stated that the Irvine Co. now plans to divert the water to "Muddy Creek upstream of (Pacific Coast Highway)." Other flows that would have gone almost directly onto the beach are now planned to be diverted to "Los Trancos Creek upstream of PCH." Jordan said the changes - regardless of their intent - city's part and armed with the number of the pole ln question, Frederiksen set out to the A Street parking lot to check its color. There is was. Meter No. 1546. And clearly blue. Advised by the letter that she could ask for an admin- istrative hearing to look lnto the matter, Frederiksen took oU time from her job as a saleswoman in Irvine and went to City Hall to •see 1f there was anyone who could validate my claim that meter 1546 is a 'blue pole meter,•• she said. . . . FYI Annual parking permits for blue pole meters cost S100 and are valid at 15 parking lots throughout Newport Beach's harbor area. For more informa- tJon, call (949) 644-3121 . There, Frederiksen learned that she'd have to submit a written statement of facts if she couldn't make It to the.hearing in person. She wrote up a statement and attached it to a request for a hearing, hoping that this would settle the matter once and for all. After her Oct. 19 hear- ing, Frederiksen received another yet letter. Bued on •prtma fade"-or first impression -evidence and her failure to appear, the hearing board again upheld the citation and ordered her to pay the fine by Nov. 10. Finally, City Manager Homer Bludau heard about Frederi.ksen's difficulties to convince the city that she'd parked at a blue pole meter. city. He agreed that there should be an easy way to resolve Prederikaen's dilemma. "You'd think this should be a very black -or blue - and white issue,• he said. A few phone calls later, Bludau's colleagues stopped relying on outdated parking meter data at City Hall and went out to check the color of the pole. •she was right and we were wrong,• Bludau said, adding that the city would send Frederiksen a letter of apology, rescinding the fine. Bludau said city officials · Tuesday, October 31, 2000 5 would also •dig lnto lbe effort• of updating Newport Beach's list of perking meters u a result of the mishap. And Frederiksen, whose husband once worked as a Costa Mesa police officer, said she was glad the blue nightmare was finally over. ·we don't go around breaking the law,• she said. •I felt as though I was being treated like a lawbreaker and I'm not. I have a perfect driving record.•, .. are creating a project differ- ent from the one approved by the commission. ·While it's important to get rid of those direct discharges, you still have to analyze and look at where they're putting all that flow and what they're doing with it,• she said. ·0ur position is you can't issue the permit because the facts have substantially changed.• TAX •I think tbe dty ii in very good ~ tman-CONTINUED FROM 1 cially and~I don't be1MWe SAVE MONEY! The League for Coastal Protection is also considering asking the Coastal Commis- sion to revoke the permit it issued in August, arguing that the developer •may have included inaccurate, erro- neous or incomplete informa· tion • in the drainage plans it presented to the commission. ·we believe that had the Irvine Co. provided the appropriate and accurate information to the commis· sion, they would have poten- tially denied the permit or made different special condi· tions on it,• Jordan said. Stockstill strongly disputed Jordan's charges. •All previous testimony provided to the commission by the Irvine Co. and its con- sultants was thoroughly researche d and completely accurate,• he said. Gany Brown, director of Orange County CoastKeeper, said his group's approach to the developer's project differs from that of the League for Coastal Protection. At this point, Brown said, CoastKeeper is not pushing for revocation of any permits. •An action like that would be counterproductive to what we're trying to do,• be said. •we're actively working with the Irvine Co. to settle the whole issue.• Voter approval is required for• Arr/ ma;or amendment to the.

Here's just one sentence from an eighteen-page letter they sent attacking Hoag's Master Plan: '~hove all, no development shoul.d be granted for so vague a proposition." -Letter from Measure S Supporters Now M easure S supporters have a new tactic to stqp Hoa,z's future plans. It is called Measure S. Measure S would delay any new medical treatment facilities at Hoag Hospital beyond the current plans for up to two years. It would subject these proposals to an expensive and divisive citywide vote. Hoag Hospital has a Masterplan to expand its Womens Center and provide improved cancer and cardiac care to the community. The support- ers of Measure S OPPOSED this plan. Is this a good idea? We don't think so. While Hoag has not taken a formal position on Measure S, here's what Hoag said about Measure S in a recent letter: Hoa& Memorial Hospital Presbyterian Lener. October 6. 2000 "Future building projects, of course are more prob- lematic ... moreover, the Measure S requirement for a city-wide election would most probably be triggered, adding expense and time (albeit broader voter input) to the process already in place." Citywide Elections Over MINOR Renovations and Improvements Is it a i:Ood idea to reQuire citywide elections over proposals to improve hospitals. build museums. expand churches and private schools or renovate restaurants and homes? We don't think so Measure S requires A LL of the above -and lots more. Under Measure S we could have had up to 55 citywide elections over mostly "MINOR" amendments to the general plan over the past ten years. These elections would have cost taxpayers millions. Measure S is a flawed proposal that will force dozens of expensive and divisive political campaigns in Newport Beach over "MINOR" neigh borhood improvements and renovations. The real "targets" of Measure S are churches, private schools, museums, restaurants and hospitals -the pillars of our community. 1 Measure S ()PPOSED by Community Leaders Measure Sis opposed by a broad coalition of community leaqers who care about .Newport's future. Poli~e and fire officials oppose Measu re S because it diverts funds needed for public safety. The C hamber of Commerce opposes Measure S because it requires citywide elections for small renovations to existing businesses. Former Mayors Heather, Dehay, Marshall and Edwards oppose it because it abandons Representative Government in N ewport Beach . Senior citizen advocates such as Walt H owald, long-time school board member Jim DeBoom and chairman for C itizen s for a Better Newport Bill Ficker strongly . oppose Measure S. Please, join us in voting NO on Measure S. It's a flawed proposal that targets the wrong people. Hoag wants to double its care facilities for prematurely born infants. The group behind Measure S OPPOSED these plans and now Measure S would delay future plans like these for years. Doily Pilot CONEXANT CONTINUED FROM 1 city's traffic phasing ordi- nance to the City Charter and nullify Measure S, should voters approve both measures. Arst said Measure S sup- porters had problems with a maximum $10-per-square- foot developer fee, which would pay for street improvements and public utilities made necessary by the project. Setting such a limit to the fee would keep the city from charging more, should costs run higher, Arst argued. Other problems with the draft agreement include the 25-year time period the com- pany is given..to complete its project, Arst said. A city ordinance requires comple- tion within five years. The developers' agree- ment also permits Conexant to sell the pr9perty to a third party that would not gener- ate tax revenue for the city. ABRAMS CONTINUED FROM 1 slain children testified for the prosecution -moving some of the jurors and those in the audience to tears in a packed courtroom. On Monday. the gallery was virtually empty. The defense b'ied to estab- lish that before the murders. Abrams has! been trying to lead a normal life by taking care of his daughter and going ., This would leave Newport Beach residents with increased traffic, noise and pollution without getting any tax money in return, Arst said. The proposed developers' agreement came under scrutiny after it became known that three of the four city officials involved in the · negotiations owned stock in Conexant. It also has been one of the main targets of Measure S supporters. While Planning Commis- sion Chairman Edward Selicb has since sold his Conexant stock, Council- men Gary Adams and Tod Ridgeway still own their shares. Both h!lve said they will sell their holdings. Plan- ning Commissioner Larry Tucker, also on the commit- tee, did not own any Conex- ant stock. The city attorney's office plans to investigate whether Selich violated conflict or interest rules by participat- ing in a commission discus- sion on Conexant's proposal. Selicb said be bad not been to work.

While Ant called the $10- per-square-foot fee an unwise cap given the possi- bility that traffic improve- ments would cost more than expected, Selich said the committee set the $10 fee in the absence of a comprehen- sive traffic fee program. "It wasn't any exact math,• Selich said, adding that the draft agreement was •fair and logical."

As a guide, city officials have looked to Irvine, which set up a comprehensive fee program in 1982 and updat- ed it in 1999. Where New- port Beach charges $2.01 per square foot for offij:e buildings, $1.12 per square foot for industrial buildings and $6.06 per square foot for retail buildings. Irvine's cor- responding fees a.re $10.70, $3.30 and $10.70. Irvine's special fee pro- gram covers the Irvine Busi- ness Complex, which lies adjacent to John Wayne Air- port. Newport Beach also plans to establish fees for its airport area. Assistlml City Manager Sharon Wood said a differ- ence in age between the two cities could be the reason why Newport Beach is lag- ging behind. "Irvine rliay te nd to be more aggressive," Wood said. "They are more of a growing community where we are built out. When you are a recycling community, you don't tend to think of "Steven was the one 1 really looked up to and respected.• .

A second disagreement came from Conexant's unwillingness to contribute $500,000 to a new fire sta- tion in the area around the airport. While the commit- tee did not want to accept Conexant's offer of a $250,000 contribution, a July 6 staff report stated that the smaller sum would meet the company's requirement to pay a pro- portional share of the cost to build the station.

EDITORIAL Our education choices Fluor in Newport-Mesa, Forbath, Kittredge in Coast college district are best choices A s political leaders and oth- ets take their election-year jabs at public education, Newport-Mesa is not immune from th1! fray. Sure, many local schools enjoy solid reputations, but we're always k'eminded of the need lo improve and get better. nus year, we're offering two paths for that. In Newport-Mesa Unified, our suggestion is to stay the course and reelect trustee Martha Fluor to another term. At the Coast Community Col- lege District we are urging a clif- f erent move, replace the long- standing incumbents with the fresh new faces of J ean Forbath and Daniel Kittredge. ln the Newport-Mesa race, because incumbents Dana Black and David Brooks are running unopposed, the only contest is between Area 3 incumbent Fluor and ch4llenger Ila Johnson, who jumped in at the last minute and assured that voters would not go without some choice for the sec- ond school board election in a row. Johnson deserves much praise for her decision. Instead of com- plaining about the district and its policies, she's trying to do some- thing about it. Her candidacy. which she says is •outside my comfort zone,• has created a debate about the board's leader- ship that otherwise would have been lacking this fall. But while she deserves praise, we're not ready to back John- son's campaign just yet. Pluor's educational back- ground and years of proven dedi- cation have earned her another four years leading our schools. She is the better one to help the distiict tackle the tough issues facing our schools. And there are plenty. The district still has to its spend the $163 million it will get through the bond and state Jean Forbath matching funds. Parents who want to cre- ate a charter school just last week turned in their proposal. The zero-tolerance policy remains a source of contention. Test scores n eed to rise. Newport Beach and Costa Mesa students need to learn on as level a field as possi- ble. This board already has had much success handling tricky issues. It got the bond passed and bas gone a long way to restoring the strained rela- tionship between the distrlct and parents. It needs to continue those efforts. As for the Coast Community College District we've always admired how that board seems to keep things smooth on the sur- face. Hardly ever does one hear of discord or dissension. But recently, there's been some rippling underneath that bas threatened to bubble over the top and has left some concerned that the district ii in need of new leadership. Which brings us to the two incumbent board members • The ...._: Voters could decide the fUtUre of development and growth In ~ leach as the traffic debate goes to the wire. Armando Ruiz and PaW Berg- er. 1 Ruiz and Berger are respected lead- ers with many, many years of experience at running the district and they should be Daniel commended for Kitteredge the job they've done. But after much thought, we've come to the difficult conclusion that both Ruiz and Berger may have been at it too long. And we're not the only ones who feel that way. The district's teacher union, after many years of support, has also chosen not to endorse both Berger and Ruiz. Ruiz was swept into power in 1983 and Berg- er in 1987. That puts both of them two decades removed from the current crop of students at the district's schools, Orange Coast, Golden West and Coastline com- munity colleges. And while those schools have much success in the areas of cur- riculwn, vocation and transfers to four-year schools, it's time for new ideas, new energy and debate on the college board. Porbath and Kittredge can provide just that Forbath, who is squaring off against Berger, ii well known in Costa Mesa as the founder of Share of Selves, the largest poverty relief agency in Orange County. A former col- lege profes- sor and high school · teacher, she bas blazed a trail for the poor and Martha Fluor destitute in our communities for more than two decades. Porbath has proven she is committed to the community and with her experience, she w1Il bring the sense of purpose and spirit of activism that is needed on the college board. ln addition she and Kittredge have vowed to improve salaries of Coast district teachers, which were ranked 60th out of the 71 college districts in the state in a state teachers association study. Kittredge, the product of a community college education, bas earned his stripes es an activist fighting development along the Bols4 Chica wetlands in Huntington Beach. On the education front, Kit- tredge, who is running against Ruiz, bas done his homework and understands the needs of the community college students. He supports smaller class sizes, enhanced technology skills training and securing conststent college funding from the state. Next week, we urge our read- ers to do their part to improve education.

Daily Pilot Gay Geiser-Sandoval EDUCATIOtW.l.Y SPWING School choir's harmony has many meanings T bis is a story about the ultimate use of thematic-centered learn- ing. It is also the tale of how a classmate that you meet in high school can change your life. Costa Mesa High School isn't known as a rich school. So it is unusu- al to think that the school's choirs, which sell everything from candy bars lo perlormance tickets to pay for their outfits, would be raising money by giving a concert so people halfway aaoss the world can sing. The story about how this concert came to be is even more amazing. In 1995, Asirn Babokic, who was raised in the town of Mostar, Bosnia- Herzegovin.a, came to Costa Mesa High School as a junior to get an education away from his war-tom homeland. The next year, a group of teachers set him up for senior prom with fel- low senior Sarah Millar. Sarah spent her years at Mesa active in choir and drama. Even when Sarah and Asirn started at different colleges, they still remained in touch. Now, they are enga~ and both attend Cal State Long ch. They plan to many in June. Asim brought the country of Bosnia to life for Sarah, who now wants to pursue an advanced degree in Slavic literature. When the pair vis- tted Mostar last year, Sarah decided she should help the Pavarotti Music Center, located there, to accomplish its mission. It provides free music classes to promote peace and unity to a town and country divided by ethnic- ity and religion. Mostar's river is the dividing line. The center started a children's choir to give children on both sides of the river the chance to find out they aren't so different after all. This may let the next generation live in peace and unity. As Sarah searched for a way to help the Pavarotti Music Center, she thought of her high school choir teacher at Mesa, Jon Undfors . Undfors turned her dream of help- ing those in Bosnia into a real learning ezperience for his choir&. At their school. where the blending of students from different ethnldties and religions is a dally occurrence, they have witnessed and will share with you, through pictures and read- ings, the horrors of hate and disaimi- nation.

"It's really an emotional thing,• Perkins said of the afternoon visit. ·we do it to reaffirm (Troxel's) belief in the kids, Estancia athletics, and football in particular. We head over there after our pregame meal and we give the kids a chance to talk about Paul. It's a tradition we want to keep alive and we all take it to heart.• Barry Faulkner PREPS players' helmets, as well as coaches' hats and Jackets. Perkins said the perse- verance bis team displayed, overcoming a 20-0 deficit, is the type of lesson which can serve his players the rest of their lives. . · "In everybody's life, terrible things happen,• Perkins said. "ln tough times, maybe they can use (Friday's comeback) to draw on. They all did a great job of responding to adversity, which is what it's all about. The initial liquid emotion surfaced about five hours before, when Eagle players and coaches, in what Coach Dave Perldns said has become a pre-Battle for the Bell ritual, visited the grave of the late Paul Troxel. Troxel, a beloved figure whose career coaching baseball and football covered 20 years, 17 at Estancia, his alma mater, died suddenly of a brain aneurysm and heart attack in the spring of 1999 at age 40. Perkins, who displayed a framed 8-by-10 photograph of Troxel before addressing the team huddle following the 34-27 win, frequently references Troxel with his players. The team still punctuates some of its football activities by chanting "Trox • in unison and some black labels with Trox in white letters, are stuck to Our kids never gave up."

Tony Altobelli DAllY PILOT For a guy who scores as many goals as Vanguard University men's soccer standout Diego Goni, who better to idolize than San Francisco 49ers' great Jerry Rice? ·Jerry Rice is the man,• Gonl said with his modest Uruguayan accent. "That's one sport I've really enjoyed since I've been up game here than back home lll Uruguay," Gonl said. "Here, it's much faster and more physical, which was something I had to get U90d to." Once he got used to it, the goalkeepers throughout the Golden State Athletic Conference were no match to Goni's skill. Goni came to Vanguard alter a nudge from a buddy. "I have a friend living in Utah and he got me hooked up with Coach Mcleish,• he re in America, football." -------Goni said. "It's been great out here._All the big cities take a little getting used to, however. Our ' entire country has three million people.• Goni has something in common with Rice, besides having the same number of letters in his last name. They both find a way to score no matter what the opposing team tries to do to stop away to get ll done ... " Not blessed with world-class speed, Goni uses his lifelong him." The Daily Pilot College AlhJete of the Month has scored 13 goals for the Uons this season, bringing his school-record total to 47. "True goal scorers are a rare commodity these days,· Uons Coach Dave McLeish said. •I would have to say Diego ts one of • the best goal scorers I've ever seen at any level." The 6-foot-3, 205-pound senior forward uses his years of soccer smarts and has helped the Lions reach the NAlA Region D playoffs. "lt's a different style of knowledge of the game and puts it to great use. "I try to get in good position when the ball comes to me,* Gonl said." l get a lot of my goals off cross-field passes. I'm always looking to try to get faster.• Unlike the States, soccer is a way of We to people in Uruguay. So for Goni to play for his country on an under-17 national team. that says a lot for his ta.lent level. "If be gets three scoring chances, he'll cash in on at least two of them,• Mcleish said.

But the team has improved, which is fine with him. Last year, Goni notched 17 goals and dished out six assists to earn first-team All-GSAC honors and honorable mention All-NAlA. •AB long as we keep winning, I don't ca.re how many goals t get.· Goni said. •Of course, I like to score and that's my main job, but I'd rather not score and win than score a lot SEE PREPS PAGE 10 and lose.• Goni, recently married to hometown sweetheart, Marianna, will graduate this spring with a marketing degree. "I'm not sure what my plans are in the future,· he said. "Right now, I'm thinking about the upcoming playoffs and getting through with school.· On top of being a soccer fanatic, Goni is also a movie buff. "I recently got one of those DVD players, so I watch movies all the time, now,• Goni proudly said. • U I'm not watching movies, I like hanging out with friends and doing whatever."
