Deputy District Attorney Pete Pierce, of a special unit designed to investigate government offi- cials, confirmed he is looking into a possible violation of the Brown Act, the state. law that governs public meetings. Part of that law ma.Qdates that the public must be notified tn advance if an issue is going to be discussed by a voting bloc of elected officials. ·we are satisfied that there haven't been any violations,• said Asst. City Attorney Tom Woods, in the only comment the office was willing to give.

Caltrans bought the land to build a freeway, but com- munity opposition stopped that plan in the 1970s. The land has been vacant ever since. City officials will now move ahead with purchasing and fixing up the property, which ls likely to include playing fields and a lot of open space. Laden protests in Bangladesh noticed that hundreds of protestors were holding up the same poster -a collage of photos of bin Laden. When the reporters got a closer look at the poster, they noticed something tru- ly bizarre. One photo of bi!l Laden had a small but urunistakable image of Bert looking over bin Laden's shoulder. An enterprising reporter from Associated Press pointed it out to a few protestors and local authori- ties who, as one would expect, bad no idea who Bert was or how he got there. The reporter traced the poster to a local printer by the name of Mostafa Kamal. The mystery of bin Laden and Bert was cleared up quickly and has a very familiar ring to those of us who spend lots of ~e on the Internet. When Kamal got the order for the poster, he needed a good quality pho- to of bin Laden. He knew he could find hundreds of them on the 1$emet and found one website with exactly the photo he want- ed. Not speaking a word of English, Kamal paid no attention to the content of the website, downloaded the photo and created his poster -never noticing the lmage. o( ~rt peering over bin Laden s shoulder. What was lost 011 Kamal was that the site he found was a done of a site called •Bert Is Evil,· a joke Web site started by San Francis- co a.rt student Dino Ignacio in 1996. The site features dumb Bert jokes and gag photos of Bert with notori- ous figures throughout his- tory. And that, through the magic of the Internet and enormous gaps in language and culture, is how Bert made it from Sesame Street to the streets of Bangladesh. While thousands of bin Laden supporters roared in protest, waving their posters wildly. Bert was every- where, looking as puzzled as ever. I gotta go. • PETER MffA Is a former Costa Mesa mayor.

Early Vietnamese artists were a highly-skilled group who worked with kilns and other artistic tools, as excava- tions prove. They used free and loose brush strokes on their ceramics. They loved nature. Some of their culture could be described as centering on the warrior. They used the bird and elephant as national symbols after the expulsion of the Chinese in the 11th century, to pro- mote a Vietnamese cultural identity, Rickerson said.

Great Park needs a wide audience T ~~~~~:a7or an airport at El Toro know we've lobbed our share of critical salvos their way from time to time for their band.ling of the issue. And we believe they deserved the criticism. Still, we would be negligent if we didn't heap some praise on them now. Using money provided by the city of Newport Beach, the Newport Beach-based Airport Working Group and the Citi- zens for Jobs and the Economy joined up with the El Toro Edu- cational Alliance and undertook a costly and effective campaign to debunk the whole Great Park scenario, which voters are being asked to approve next March. If it gets voter OK, the Great Park initiative calls for turning the closed El Toro Marine base into a park on the scale of Cen- tral Park in New York. But in a report prepared by the Educational Alliance, the idea that the county could somehow build a deliciously grand expanse of open space, greenery, museums, botanical gardens and other cultural monuments without the taxpay- ers having to pinch in one pen- ny is looking a little hard to believe. Irvine Mayor Larry Agran and South County forces say the park won't cost a thing because they believe the feder- aJ govenunent will just hand over the land, wiping out a near half billion price tag for the par- cel. In addition, they insist the existing buildings on the site can be leased out for $25 mil- lion a year. But the report insists the county would indeed have to pay for the land and that leas- ing the aging facilities at the closed Marine base will not come close to $25 million. Indeed, after all is said and done the report, produced by Denver-based BBC Research and Consulting, concluded the park would take 63 years and $2.1 billion to build. Hard to imagine how the tax- payers could escape without opening up their wallets on a price tag like that. So it's time to spread the word about this report. We just hope there is still time. Because as we pointed out, we have been critical of these very same groups for failing to see the political winds were blowing way off kilter when it came to public support for an El Toro airport countywide. During last year's catastroph- ic MeasUre F campaign, these very same groups concentrated on spreading the pro-El Toro word here in Newport-Mesa. a community that needed little persuasion that another airfield is critical to alleviate the grow- ing needs of John Wayne. In that election, South Coun- ty forces, aware that the razor- tbin majority in favor of an El Toro airport could easily ~ erased, hit the airwaves with commercial after anti-airport commercial. Today, we see that same tack being taken by the pro-airport groups and we applaud those decisions and those efforts to get the word out. Because if these groups can talce this Great Park truth- squad show on the road, chances are the residents of the county will see how hard it will be to pay for such a plan and they will think hard about their pocketbooks as they bead into the ballot box this March.

The mid-October deadline was imposed by the owners of the Dunes late last month and was immediately rejected as a possibility by dty leaders, who saJd they could not decide that quickly on spending an estimat- ed 525 million to S50 million to take over the property's lease.

We try to ligure what would cause the most disruption "' because that's their goal. And we're prepared. And I feel confident to speak for our neighboring cities as well, because I know them real well and they're as prepared as we are to protect their citizens.' W hen U.S. Atty. Gen. John Ashaoft told law enfommient agendes nationwide on Monday to go on the •rughest state of alert,• the Costa Mesa Police Department did so. But the department wu already ready and will do everything it can to ensure its residents' safety, says Police Chief Dave Snowden. On Wednesday, Aubtant City Editor James Meter sat down with Snowden at the Police Station to discuss such national matters, as well as local happenings. Per Asbcroft's request, Costa Mesa poUce and oth- er law enforcement ageo- des throughout the na.Uon are on the highest state of alert. What does this mean for Costa Mesaf Well, it means we're going to take greater care concerning those things that have become an issue regarding terrorism. We all know in our city what the targets would be, most 1 likely. Suffice to say, it means to us that we need to be ready to protect our community from any and everything that can happen to make them safe. Have you made any spedfk ~ u a resultf Specific things are to brief all the other officers on exactly what to expect, what the target areas are, what to look for and that information has been passed onto us by the U.S. Department of Justice. Basically, what we do is target those areu that are most likely to tMttargeted by terrorists. We have to think out of the box' on that. We try to figure what would cause the most disruption because that's their goal. And we're prepared. And I feel confident to speak for our neighboring cities u well, because I know them real well and they're u prepared as we are to protect their citizens. Are there any ..... of . concern that u1le M 1>0Uce deputaenll ........... - wutlmef Well, there are a lot of concerns. One would be staffing levels and iDiUal bwnout like you see 1n New York Oty, wber& thole people are working vtrtually around the dock. U some- thing like that were to hap- pen here, obviously we'd be calling on mutual aid from other resources. We're in good shape. After the Sept. 11 terrorist attack.I, federal government offldals ... med to target terrorbts that are of Middle Eutem backgrounds. Hu the department been told to be extra se.ulttve right DOW In bow It deal.I with people of suda badlgroundsf What's interesting about that is I don't need to tell them that. Costa Mesa is extremely semitive to race, religion and leXU4l orienta- tion. or whatever tt might , be, I've been preaching tba.t since the day I came here, as bas our dty manager. And practically every member of the City Council says that. So I'd be surprised if I saw anything different I Jmow they're very sen- sitive right now because there are a lot of people of Middle Eastern descent that might become targets because "ol tb.11. And they're not the people responsible. We know who's responsible, and our country will deal with that As fu as we're concerned, we're going to continue to protect our constitutional dghta to live and enjoy the freedoml the United States offers. With the economy on a downswlng, lt would make sense that crime would rise. Is the department being proacUve lo trying to fight that possible trend? There's no question the economy somewhat drives the aime rate. That's been proven over the years. We've enjoyed a 10-year lull in crime in Costa Mesa, and I think this year, we're going to experience, for the first time in 11 years, our crime rate going up. Not significantly. but in those things that you would normally relate -financial crimes, thefts, robberies and those sorts of things. So we'll see a slight increase in those things. But are we proactive and preventive? Absolutely. How sol Well, we say au the time: •0on 't make yourself a victim.• •Lock your doors.· •Make sure you drive safe.• "Make sure you go to safe places.• You should take the precautions that you need to take in a society with as many people as we have. Auto thefts were on the rbe Ill Costa Mesa. Are tbef lbowtng any signs of letllag u.pf We're down 1.1 % compared with the same period of time last year, but what's inte resbng is 10 the month of September, we showed a deaease of nearly 25% in auto thefts. But you have to understand you can have an increase of 25% this month and we'd still be atl.1%. What are the challenges lacing the department ln Hndlng the suspect lo the Cecellne Godsoe murdert With regard to the Ceceline Godsoe, we have strong, physical evidence that Victor Garcia committed the murder. It's believed that he may have fled to Mexico. We're currently worlung with the U.S. marshal's office, which maintains a liaison with the Mexican law enforcement ofhcials. With their coopera- bon, we hope to locate Garaa. We're also following leads locally to determine if he's hiding with family or fnends. Also, the Police Depart- ment is offering a $5,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of Mr. Garcia. Are there any new development regard.log the Jack In 1be Bo~ murder that occurred ln Mayt Well, there aren't any new developments, but the guy's in jail awaiting tnal. And that murder, to the best of ow knowledge, was DON LEACH I OAl.Y Pl.OT committed between two people who knew each other and obviously it occuned over a dispute about some stolen property. Is there anytblng else you want to dbcussf Well, I do want to tell people in our community that the prime objective of terrorism is to disrupt the American way -to make us afraid to enjoy the freedoms that we have fought so hard to have. And if we fall into the trap of believing all the rumors that are going around at?out anthrax, about crop dusters, about false dates of new attacks, about all of the things that are going around that you hear every day, then we have done nothing more than play into the hands of those very people who set this stuff up. What I encourage Americans and Costa Mesa citizens to do is to go about We as they normally would. They're more apt to die from not wearing their seat belts or cigarette smoke than they are from a terrorist attack in this coun- try. They should keep things in proportion, keep their families safe, and remember that they live in a fine, safe commuruty, and enj0y it. Enjoy being an American. We'll take care of you.

IEAOI VOUEYIAll It's WI in the spirit Inaugural pro-am event featured some of the game's biggest names, while others drew a crowd in other ways. Rkhent Dunn 0AH.Y PlloT NEWPORT BEACH -When President George W. Bush told the counby to return to normal, everyday living, be probably didn't have the inaugural Da Dunes Pro- Am Beach Volleyball Tournament ln mind. But only if all of America could have seen the event Saturday at the Newport Dunes waterfront resort. From wild outfits ln the themed four- person teams to· heavyweight champi- onship-type boxing belts for prizes, the sand tournament featured 24 men's squads and eight women's teams ln pool play with some of the game's elite, including Misty May, the beach volleyball Olympian at the 2000 Sydney Games and fonner Newport Harbor High Prep All· American. Randy Stoklos, one of the all-time greats on the Association of Volleyball Professionals Tour, played for Sky Patrol, while Mike Dodd, Steve Obradovich and Mike Whitmarsh •competed· on a team called Legends/White Thash. There was tournament director Steve Uchytil playing with event founder Brian Lewis (Corona del Mar High, Orange Coast College) and "surf doctor" Tim Brown, the former Newport Harbor and University of Redlands football star, on a team honoring the movie "Caddyshack" called Bushwood C.C. Uchytil was dead ringer for Danny Noonan. And then there was Steve Timmons (Newport Harbor. OCC). the three-time Olympian and two-time gold medalist, playing for 1hgger. Each team had at least four players and a theme. The Commandos, as you can imagine, were rather patriotic, while some of the guys on Chippendales could probably get a real job dancing. The women weren't without notice. "We're supposed to be like Brazil carnival,• said Lina Yancbulova, who played on the Zebras, one of the teams May put together. The Zebras, who could have passed for Vegas abowgirls, wore masks during play. "It's 1be whole style of the tournament. The11*ft. • said YabditUova. whose outfit ~~.boa.

There are also prizes for best team costumes. About 1,000 people attended the event Saturday. While most playen stayed ln the spirit of the hit-n-91ggle affair. the tournament director said, others arrive with a serious frame of mind and don't like waiting to warm up. •some of these gi rls are really competittve. Tbat's jmt the way they aie, • said Uchytil. aJso the men's belfld volleyball coach at Golden West College. Jessica Alvarado, a former Loog Beach State standout who played with May in college, sa.ld the event was especially unique because of the format. "It'• four-person volleyball, which is not played anymore (on the pro drcult)," said Alvarado, also May's former roommate. •Jt's different than what you nonnally do during the rummer.• Alvarado, Yanchulova and Pella Yanchulova, an All·Amertcan at USO, were some of the players May recruited for tbe event to help Lewis, wbo came up witb the ldea ol hosting a tun-filled, entert41nmenM>ued costume party on the sand and promiMd to~ the belt players in the wOrtd. •Tbe good Lord's ~ down on I ..... laid Lewtl, cmUtOoldDg the stt. that \ I \ I SEAN HltlER I DAILY Pit.OT Mike Dodd (above) goes up to block a shot Below, Una Yanchulova of Team Carnival dJgs the ball out from the sand during Saturday's action. lnc:luded four Mod voUeybail courts, pimic tables, food and beverage booths and a DJ stage, while enjoying great weather.

After meeting Lisa Corbett three years ago at a volleyball tournament in Mexico, McKibben and his girl from Australia married in December. •We got married on the Sunshine Coast in Australia, in the church that her parents got married in," said McKibben, who lives with Lisa on Balboa Island. "It was great.• Even as he has packed his life with work and the responsibility of a marriage, McKibben still hungers for competition. To fulfill those needs, he and his friend, Mitch Kahn, enter lifeguard competitions. In their most recent race. they represented Los Angeles County and hnished fourth out of 50 competitors. . McKibben and Kahn raced 12 times this summer competing in the two·mdn dories, which includes a bit of a surf element. "It really forces you to be a lot more aUlletic. • McK.ibben sclld. "It's fun and it's challenging.· They will race agam m October. And when he's not racing, McKibben continues to row. At least once a week, he rows wUh bis Olympic buddies. They row out of the Back Bay at the NAC. He shares those times on the water with Kurt Fleming and Bruce lbbeson from the 1984 Olympics. McK.tbben is not trying to recapture his competitive days, but he sUll misses those rewarding memories. "" "I still know the majority or guys who were in the Olympics,• McKibben said.

For her to get out a little harder and dictate what happens.• Allen, who transferred from Fountain Valley ln the sprtng, definitely dictated the pace. She built a lead and ran out in front. alone. But she doesn't hide from competition. "If anyone wants to come (up and) run with me, thars great," said Allen, who has not decided on a college next year, yet she saJd she enjoyed vtslting Stanford, while at the school's meet. ·"I feel like (a runner next to me) will only push me forward. That's what competition Is all about. It's not a fear of losing, it's excitement. Whether I'm running by myself, whether I'm running behind someone else. I'm going to try to, wtth each step, take it to a higher level. Each race I'm taking it to the higher level.• · Sumner said he was quite pleased with the efforts of his young team. He was actually excited. but the celebration was short-lived when he realized his team missed foWth-plaoo by three points. He was Impressed with two freshmen, Kattan and Melissa Swigert, and said they were the difference in providlng the Sea Kings with a respectable finish. Swigert, who came in 46th, completed the three-mile course in 19:44, just three seconds ahead of teammate Katherine Morse. CdM also finished in the top five because of the blue-collar- type strides of senior Becky Cummins who came in 22nd (18:56).

Jn Division II, the young runners of Newport Harbor came in sixth. Lauren Paul was the Sailors' No. 1 runner. The sophomore finished 13th (19:32), while fellow sophomore, Lisa Evans, came in 24th (19:51). Costa Mesa's Christine Bjelland experienced a tight race with a close finish and came in third in Division lll, as the Mustangs wound up elgbth out of 18 schools. Mesa Coach Tom Hancock, who filled in for Eric Davies (absent because of prior commitments), said Bjelland has still yet to show her full taJeot. HeJ" finish in 20:03 was not her personal best and it was one second behind Loara's Jenna Wheeler. "We're still a couple of weeks away,• Newport Coach Eric 1Weit said. "But this was a good. solid race for us. Andi Sams (48th in 20:49) ran her fastest time ever. BOYS CONTINUED FROM 12 Maria joined the team JUSt two weeks ago. "He's new to the team and he's the fourth man already,• Costa Mesa assistant coach Tom Hancock said. "This is the best we've done all year and we were missing Carlos Ibarra (ill· ness) today. They've been \',!Orking hard all summer and it's starting to show. We have three weeks until (Pacific Coast League) finals and they're going to keep working ffard. • Mustangs Coach Eric Davies, who did not attend the meet because or a prior commitment, said bis boys had an intense week or practice leading up to the Orange County Championships. He said it was "make it or break it" time for Salas, and he took the former. The Costa Mesa senior not only bat- tled heat and the course, but also a nag- ging injury in his right calf. He said he fought otr the pain in the last half-mile and switched into hlgh gear, grabbing a fourth-place finish in 16:49. "I'm a little bit more focused this year," Salas said.
