B etty Nelson's eyes traveled toward the fes-
tive mall pathways, where holiday shop-
pers walked slowly, gazing at decorated
display windows.
"It's not busy just yet,• Nelson, the manager
of BenchJey Luggage Lirruted, said Friday, which
is traditionally the busiest retail shopping day of
the year.
Nelson said she hopes the store's
hottest items -computer bags on
wheels and Palm Pilot cases -will
sell as expected.
She wasn't the only anxious
merchant.
Hundreds of store owners and
iellers were guesstimating Friday
about what shoppers want to see
when they unwrap their presents Christmas
morning.
Evan McVeagh, who sells contemporary
apparel, said animal prints are in this season.
•Anything with fringe and rhinestones is cool
too,• sald McVeigh, manager or Gianna, a cloth-
ing store on wheels.

NEWPORT-MESA -That time
bas come again, when children
begin pinning up Christmas lists
on refrigerators stuffed with
Thanksgiving leftovers.
And they have no trouble
knowing what they want.
Milea Austin, 6, of Newport
Beach said she craves a bike for
Christmas.
·1 like burgundy,• she said.
•That's a good color for a bike.•
Devon Davis, a thlrdiJYader at
Mariners Elementary School, said
she wants a beach cruiser.
•And Mary Kate and Ashley
dolls -they're Barbie dolls that
are Mary Kate and Ashley,• she
said. •And how about a bag, fat
teddy bear?"
Topping many lists tlus year are
Razor scooters, video games and
Hany Potter merchandise.
•Anything electronic 15 popular
this year,• said Jennifer Paridon,
district manager for the Zany
Brainy toy store in Newport Cen-
ter, listing a few of the bot items
this year.
•Magic, magic, magic -this
Harry Potter stuff th~y love.
Scooters, we can't get enough of
these.•
There are now three kinds of
Razor scooters ranging in price
from S99 to $149, the newest mod-
el coming equipped With a light.
And then, of course, t\lere are the
knockoff brands.
Another favorite item flying off
the shelves this season is Poochie,
an electronic puppy, said Veronica
Bandilla, an assistant manager at
Zany Brainy.
•1t•s your virtual pet,· she said.
•1t•s pretty neat, the things it does.
Its eyes will become hearts to say
it needs love.•
Like many other popular toys
this year, Poochie comes wtth a
remote control, which chtldren say
is what makes it so cool.
That bit -of information is some-
thing store owners clearly know
and plan to use to benefit their
sales.
Each toy store at Fashion Island
had an employee playing with a
remote-control toy in its front
entrance Friday.
At the Store of Knowledge, a
young woman demonstrated a
remote-control dinosaur that cap-
bvated young audiences.
Hunter Corwin, 2, of Irvine was
squatting down in front of the
tyrannosaurus rex Wlth his head
cocked to one s1de.
"They're asking for Lego Mind-
storms and pretty much anything
that's remote-control. bke this,·

Corwin, motioning toward the
roaring toy.
But some things, like l'v1ilea's

MORAL OF THE STORY
It's the holit:kJys,
soslowdoum
"God did not create hurry."
-Finnish proverb
A re you still stuffed from Thanksgiv-
ing, but find y6\lrself already stress-
ing about stocking stuffers? And
gifts. And wrapping. And decorations. And
cooking. And cleaning. And finances. And
family. And friends. And rushing. And
repeating all of the above. And exhaustion.
This is the perfect time of year to think
about slowing down.
Yes, that sentence says what you
thought, but it probably doesn't compute
because your mental computer is busy
cranking up to overdrive.
The season of busyness is here, or as my
friend Pete refers to it, the "holidaze" are
here. But I don't want to be in a daze when
they are over, and like you, I want the holi-
days to be less stressful and more meaningful
-to be less of a blur and more of a blessing.
Unfortunately though, my to-do lists have
already taken on lives of their own and
seem to be multiplying right before my eyes.
What to do? I asked God to guide me,
and the first thing that came to mind was a
recent driving trip. That seemed odd until I
realized that l learned a great lesson about
the freedom that can come from limits on
that bip.
It happened when I drove with my
daughter, Kelly, to Northern C.alilomia a
few months ago. Not only was it the start of
a new school year for her, it was the begin-
ning of a new engine for our car. We were
told to treat the engine kindly and never
exceed the speed limit.
Neither of us are speed demons, but
somehow having such clearly defined limits
gave us freedom and simplified our driving
trip.
That may sound strange to some, and it
was a bit of a surprise to us as well. But we
didn't have to wonder about speeding up to
pass someone and there was no second-
guessing which was the better lane. We
knew our limits, and we were content to
stay in the slower lanes.
I have to admit, it was odd being passed
by big semitrucks, but we got used to it.
We sang along with compact discs, we
talked, we ate pretzels. We read aloud to
each other, laughed together and finished
most of a crossword puzzle.
I'm not sure we would have done all
those things if we were intent on getting to
the college in the quickest time possible.
The drive took longer than normal, but we
were both more relaxed than we recalled
being after doing the drive other times.
Stickiag to limits is much harder,
though, when it comes to the pace of our
days than the speed of our cars. But I think
that was God's message to me. Limits can
lead to freedom and fulfillment in the holi-
days too.
God is not the god of hurry, but of hope.
He is not the god of rushing, but of reach-
ing out to others. He is not the god of
accomplishments, but of relationships.
I've decided to let Him be the god of my
to-do lists too, and have turned them over
to Him for editing. 1lliS isn't easy for me,
but with God's help, I'll try to focus less on
what I want to do and more on who God
wants me to be.
And you can quote me on that.

Say goodbye to flight caps at john Wayne Airport
N ewport Beach has
painted itself into a
• comer. Friends are
dropping like flies, and in
less than five years, because
of the City Council's years of
arrogance, stubbornness and
bungled political maneuver-
ing, support for flight caps at
John Wayne Airport will
have disintegrated.
That the caps will be lilted
moved a lot closer to reality
because the county Board of
Supervisors refused to
approve a request to extend
the flight restrictions beyond
their current expiration in
2005. .
It should be noted that the
board actually voted to revisit
the matter Dec. 5, but I
expect that at that time the
supervisors will vote 3-2 to sit
on their hands and not press
for continued restrictions.
Voting against the request
were Supervisors Todd Spitzer
and James Silva. Voting in
favor were Charles Smith and
Tom Wilson, with Cynthia
Coad abstaining because she

WHAT'S UP?
bad not bad enough time to
review the issue.
Not had enough time?
What in the world has she
been doing for the last few
years that she does not
already know her answer on
this critical issue?
Imagine for a few moments
that for several years, you are
a Newport-Mesa resident
who has supported an airport
at El Toro solely because you
wanted to maintain or even
reduce the number of flights
out or John Wayne.
All the talk about devel-
opers making a lot of money
in El Toro was of not interest
to you; perhaps you didn't
even believe any of it.
Besides, people you trusted
were gi.vtng you good rea-
sons -noble reasons -for
a.o E1 Toro airport.
They told you that for the
greater good of the county,
we need to have more big,
smoky, stinky jets flying in
and out of our territory.
You believed them when
they said the airport was a
necessary part 9f the infra·
structure we'll oeed beca.use
everyone and their brother is
scheduled to move here to
the ·promised land in the
next 20 years.
Your motivation was
reducing noise and pollution
in your backyard (nothing
wrong with that, by the
way), fueled by your desire
to prepare for the county's
bright future.
Three of the people with
whom you were in lock step
were supervisors Coad, Smith
and Silva. They were fighting
hard for an El Toro airport, in
part, to help maintain the
John Wayne caps. They were
fighting hard for you.
On the other' side, the bad
guys were Spitzer and Wilson
and the entire El Toro Reuse
Planning Authority, which
wants to replace the El Toro
runways with bike paths.
But now, all bets-are off.
The 3-2 pro-airport majority,
which had Spitzer and Wil-
son on the fighting end of a
losing battle, is now skewed
against you.
Instead of rewarding
those who fought so long
and hard with them to limit
the traffic at John Wayne,
residents were denied Tues-
day and my guess is that
they will be formally sold out
come Dec. 5.
In February, the El Toro
Reuse Planning authority
passed a resolution endors-
ing the continuation of flight
limitations at John Wayne ·
past 2005. I was there when
it passed unanimously.
That single action, com-
bined with Tuesday's board
vote, means that the plan-
ning authority -the sworn
enemy of almost anyone in
Newport Beach -has done
more to try to extend the
flight caps than the pro-air-
port majority on the Board of
Supervisors -the politicians
who wer~pposed to be
fighting on your behalf.
What really ama.zes me is
the. failure of so many in
Newport Beach to see the
handwriting on the wall.
With each passing week,
as evidence mounts that an
El Toro airport will never
happen, they still cling stub·
bomly to their pro-airport
position, selling out their
constituents, friends and
neighbors and living in a sad
state or denial.
According to news reports,
Spitzer sought a compromise
at Tuesday's board meeting
with Newport Beach on the
issue of flight caps.
Spitzer, who represents
the side that is winning and
the side that did not need to
compromise, asked Newport
Beach Mayor John Nqyes if
the city would support drop-
ping language that advo-
cates an El Toro airport in
favor or the board's endorse-
ment or flight caps.
Noyes, in what can only
be described as a realiy bad
move, replied, "No.•
The residents of Newport
Beach deserve to know who
is now really in their com er
arid who mismanaged the
whole flight cap issue.
The Newport Beach City
Council has agatn failed in
its strategy to protect its con-
stituents from more flights
over their homes.
Even Srrulh tried, at long
last, to vote some sense into
the process, but it was too lit-
tle, too late.
As usual, arrogdnce and
derual prevdiled.

Raymond Otis hAs traveled the
world for the last 15 years. The
visions he has seen show up in his
paintings of towns, parks, animals
and shadows.
Otis' watercolor painting titled
"Bodie" won first place at the
Newport Beach Artists Juried Art
Show earlier this month.
One of two works he submit-
ted, "Bodie" ts a contemporary,
impressionistic portrayal of the
Northern California ghost town
by the same name. The High Sier-
ra town is part of the historic gold
mining 49er trail.
The show went up Nov. 1 and
will stay through Jan. 7.
"I'm proud to be among this
company of artists," said Otis, a
Corona del Mar resident.
Thirty-four artists from New-
port Beach are represented in the
show, said Hallie Strock, cultural
arts coordinator for the city. The
show consists of 37 pieces of two-
dimensional art, including paint-
ings, photographs, collages and
prints.
Otis received $400 and a blue
rlbbon placed next to his winning
painting. Oma Cunningham won
$200 for second place. Randall
Zorn, who won third place,
received $100.
Zorn's watercolor is a rendition
of the Dana Point Harbor as seen
from a bluff about 250 to 300 feet
high. The bay is a green-isb color
and scattered with 120-foot sail-
boats and a ship called the Pil-
grim.
•111.ke vistas,• he said. "Mean-
ing where a bird gets on a pole
where they can see far down. I
like heights -looking down. I
(also) might be down below look-
ing the other way. It's the view that
I like."
Zorn, 56, of Corona del Mar,
has gotten some recognition from
the show. Acquaintances have
come up to him and said they did-
n't know he could paint. During
opening night, he met artists be
otherwise would not have.
"Let's say I went to school with
someone 20 years ago," he said.
"They might not know that I paint.
Some artists are kinda q'uiet about
it, and it goes unrecognized."

. working on print campaigns, as
well as making documenJpy and
animation films in Hdnywood.
He later formed his own consult-
ing company and produced mul-
ti-image slide shows foL busi-
nesses and industries in various
states.
•But I love fine art, " he said.
Though Otis has painted and
sketched since his junior high
years, he said he is just now get-
ting •into W on a full-time basis.
His goal is to participate in the ,
Arts in the Park contest, a travel-
ing exhibit that hits national
parks. This Thanksgiving he visit-
ed Lake Aaowhead with bis wile

national tour.

J GMG ""'I OAlY Pl.OT "We have some really talented
artists in this city,• Strock said.
·we were really pleased this
year because we got a lot of new
people.·
Today, Zorn's goal is to continue
painting, to exhibit bis work and
to keep teaching.
Otis, 63, was trained as an
illustrator, designer and art direc-

Christmas photo cards are a gift you get in the mailbox
T hanksgiving weekend
at our house is the
jump-start of the holi-
day season. Four consecutive
days are enough time to
feast, play, relax and get
busy pulling the boxes of
Christmas decorations out of
the attic.
The kids insist that the
outdoor Christmas lights go
up first. In a friendly spirit of
neighborhood competition,
most of the street begins to
light up with decorations this
weekend as well.
I think our kids just use
the lights as an excuse to
climb on the roof, but this is
the weekend they will be
allowed to break all the rules
and get into the spirit.

As the rest of the family
is busy with the outside, l
will work on this year's edi-
• tlon of the Wight Christmas
card. I love Christmas cards.
In some ways, they
are my favorite part
of the holiday. I love
getting the mail every
day. It's like getting
little gifts in the matl-
box.
I love seeing how
families grow up. I
love hearing from
families both down
the street and on the
other side of the
world. Our annual
information
exchange is always a
highlight.
I especially love
. receiving cards with
photos. I have a big
album in which I keep
all the pictures. This is
a labor of love to keep up
with, but I can track some
families from their wedding
through babies through chtl·
dren entering college -20
years of watching families
grow.
My kids Jove to go back
and see what their friends
used to look llke -babies to
braces to budding beauties:
It's all in the albums.
Christmas cards take
time, but I think it's worth
the effort. Each year,
Cbristi:nas has its own
"mood.• The clothes, the
hair, tbe colors, the state of
the family.
The cards don't have lo
be elaborate. You can
choose a favorite picture
and have it made into a card
or choose from a great
selection of ready-made
photo card "frames" tlt any
number of department, sta-
tionery or photo stores. The
photo-frame cards make
sending cards aJmost pain-
less and the choices bave
become much more cre-
ative.
If you are a ina.rtyr like I
am, you make your own ·
cards. I consider my cards to
be my year's worth of arts
and crafts with the kids.
Some years, we take a
black-and-white photo,
some years we do the color
version.
In pasl'years, I have per·
sonally band-tinted more
than 200 Christmas photos.
which is easier than you
might think.
Other years, I have literal-

preprinted card and called it
good, but each year lam

glad that I make the effort
because I am always so ·
thankful that other crazy
parents make the effort as
well.
I used to thmk that a •
printed letter was a little
impersonal, but I've changed
my mind. It became too hard
to apprise all of the out-of-
town recipients of the family
happenings as the kids got
older and more involved
with school, sports and pro-
jects.
The kids moved past

ed lo ledm about life in

• Canadian 'culture jammers' use We.b to encourage
shoplifting, but there is no way to tell if any takers.
South Coast Plaza merchants
were wameiI this year about a
strange tradition: "National Steal
Something Day.•
The day was started last year
by a few self-described "culture
jammers• in Montreal as a punch
in the face to "yuppies.· They
dubbed the last Friday in
November as "National Steal
Something Day.·
The group's Web site encour-
ages people to "get some friends
together and go on a shoplifting
spree at the local chain supermar-
ket or upscale mall.•
It asks backers to •keep what
you can use and give away every-
thing else in the spirit of mutual
aid." '
Eddie Slorirnon, an employee
at Ben Bridge Jewelers in South
Coast Plaza for seven years, said
the store got a warning from its
corporate headquarters.
"It's a crazy idea," he said.
•And it's going to get them in
jail.#
Slorimon said be and other
store employees are being care-
ful, as usual.

· •It is a great honor to
have a piece from our collec-
tion in this company,• said
Jloberto Ctbtobal, president
of Carrera y Carrera USA.
The collection, which has
been an ongoing commission
of the Spanish jewelers for -
the past SO years, includes
extremely rare figures creat-
ed by selected European
artisans. Built on themes of
history, the collection has
been expanded in much the
same way as great artistic
patrons of nations and times
past have passionately pur-
sued their dreams of leaving
an artistic legacy.
"A rare public display at
the Kremlin Museum in
Moscow resulted in the
donation of one piece from
the private collection to the
museum's permanent collec-
tion,• said event spokes-
woman Amanda Weig. •It
will be displayed alongside
treasures by Faberge.•
Cristobal had flown in
from his New York head-
quarters for the event and
was joined by ~aria Euge-
nia G1ron1 chief executive of
Carrera y Carrera, based in
Madrid. Both Cristobal and
Giron charmed the local
Newport aowd with their
eloquent words connecting
both culture and art from two
distinct worlds.
Roberto Cristobal poses with models wearing gowns by
Escada and jewels by Carrera y Carrera, based 1n Madrid.
Each piece in the collec·
tion is valued at nearly $1
million. Some of the more
elaborate creations featuring
gem-quality jewels are val-
ued at closer to $1.5 million.
Begun in 1956, the collec-
tion -which includes a
uniquely shaped baroque
pearl in the overall design -
has seldom left Spain.

Dickens' tale set
to m11Sic) dance
B ah! Humbug! The Christmas season is
upon us, and we all know what that
means. Carols and Handel's Messiah. •A
Charlie Brown Christmas• and "Frosty the
Snowman• on the tube. And "The Nutcracker•
and ·A Christmas Carol" performed by ballet
companies.
Wait a minute. Since when is •A Christmas
Carol" a ballet?
Since 1997, when George Martinovich, Brent
Neumeyer and Stela Viorica premiered the
dancing Dickens story. The
Newport-Mesa trio teamed
up to (respectively) write the
score for, orchestrate and
choreograph the Dickens sto-
ry for Ballet Montmarte, of
which Stela is the artistic
director.
The Dickens ballet came
about when Stela asked
George, a rock musician and
paralegal, to write music Jemifer Mahal based on the story.
"They used to do the 'Nut-IN THE WINGS cracker' every year,• said
George, who watched his
niece, then a principal
dancer, perform with the ballet. •1 got sick of
it..
Stela, who grew up in communist Romania,
discovered Charles Dickens' classic Christmas
tale when George's sister, Agi, gave her a copy
of the book.
·we weren't allowed to read about Christ-
mas [in Romania)," Stela said. "This story
became special to me.•
Brent became involved after meeting George
at a party -but not just any party.
"George and I first met on Cbrisbnas Eve six
years ago,· Brent said. ·He said he had written
this ballet and asked me to listen to the tape.•
Brent, a former teacher, liked what he heard.
After seeing Stela's work with Ballet Mont-
marte, he decided to help out. Brent took
George's music and orchestrated it.
Brent really pushed the ballet through, said
Stela and George.
"When [Brent) said let's produce this ballet, I
said, 'We need money; we need this; we need
that,' • Stela said. "He was the one who said
'Do it!'"
"It's not easy,· Brent said. "It's been a lot of
blood, sweat and tears.•
But the end result has pleased all three and
three years of audiences.
•George and I were worried the year it
debuted,• Brent said.
But after hearing people come out of the
performance whistling the music, the worry dis-
sipated.
George k:{iew it was something special when
friends from bars he played came to see the
performance and loved it.
"It touched them on some level,• he said.
Stela said doing such a male-oriented ballet
-between Scrooge, Bob Cratchit and other
roles there are eight male parts -has been a
chaJlenge. But even more challenging has been
finding ballet dancers who can act.
"They need to be complete artists, not just
dancers,• Stela said.
When this year's Cratchit came in to audi-
tion, with his long red hair and blue nails, Stela
was skeptical.
"I looked at him and said, 'You can get the
role if you can act older,' • she said. • ·u you're
convincing, it's yours."' ·
The 19-year-old dancer surprised her an(l
won the role.

The Vanguard production employs

also utilizes Hamlet's interac-

Vanguard has recruited a
guest artist, 1\tler Lindsay, for
the extremely demanding title
role. Lindsay attacks the

vor, and the physicality, of a
young James Woods.
It is an incredibly accom-

with skillful alterations of mood
and tempo, culminating in the
throat-catching duel with

exhaust the audience as well as
the actors.
Another outstanding perfor-
mance comes from Heaven
Peabody as the fair Ophelia,
driven ·mad by her father's
murder and commanding the
stage during her scenes both
before and after the incident.
Christopher Tillman excels
as Hamlet's staunch compan-

but quite effective perfor-
mance.

'Annie Get Your Gun' hits bulls-eye

employing it in its usual position, and
then re-reprising it at the curtain call.
And why not? That song is the
essence of •Annie Get Your Gun,• a
show replete with energy and vitality,
particularly in Calhoun's scintillating
choreography.

S olomon Grundy may
: have been born on a
Monday in the nursery
rhyme, but the band
unofficially got its start on a
1992 weekend in the desert
when Newport Beach's Mark
Harnrock, Brent Brandon
and two other musicians
decided to have an
impromptu concert.
"At first, there were 10 to
20 people. Then there were
50. At the next show, there
were 100, then 500, • said
Hamrock, 27. •1t kept get-
ting bigger and bigger and
crazier and crazier.•
A year later, the band was
playing clubs and swapping
out members. So much has
changed in its eight-year
existence that only Hamrock
and its name have remained
constant from the start.
(Brandon joined the band a
few months after it began.)
But the four meD)bers that
make up Solomon Grundy
are positive that the combi-
nation they have right now is
the winning one tor their mix
of rock and jazz.
The group, guitarist and
vocalist Mark.Hamrock,
drummer Mike Hamrock,
keyboard player Brent Bran-
don and bassist Corey
Cofield, will play Friday
· night at the Hard Rock Cafe
at Fashion Island in Newport
Beach.
•A lot of bands do the
rock and jazz thing," said
Mark Hamrock, who teaches
music at a Mission Viejo
store, "but those trying to do
both are hard to find."
Most of the songs
Solomon Grundy plays are
original and written by the
elder Hamrock, who has a
bachelor's degree in classical
guitar from UC Irvine.

"It's upbeat music, and it
has a depth to it," said
Cofield, 30.
Over time, Solomon
Grundy has moved from
being a thrown-together jam
band to a more organized,
professional business band,
Mark Hamrock 'said.
•That still jams," Brandon
added.
Brandon, who also plays
saxophone, joined the band
fairly early on after meeting
Mark Hamrock through a
mutual friend. At the time,
Brandon was just learning lo
play the piano. He now has
mastered it.
Brandon also acts as the
band's manager and booking
agent, all the while juggling

at Nanopower, as a weekend
bartender and a student

"I walked by that ad three
times," the Huntington

last time through, I read it
and walked away to the car
and came back and saw the
influences.•
Among them were some
of Cofield's favorite bassists,
including Marcus Miller and
Stanley Qarke.
Cofield, who works for
Cannon on the technical
help desk, called the number
listed and spoke with Mark
Hamrock. After a few con-
versations, they got together
and jammed.
·we played together one
time and it felt like I'd been
with the band for a while,•
Cofield said.
The group's mix of jazz
and rock -"eclectic rock,·
Mark Hamrock calls it -
was appealing to Cofield.
•1t was like I was trying to
catch the same bus,· said the
ex-Marine and Desert Storm
veteran.
•When Corey joined the
band, we considered It that
we won the California bass
player lottery,• Brandon said.
The last piece of Solomon
Grundy fell into place in
December, when Mike Ham-
rock, 21, Mark's younger
brother, started playing regu-
larly with the band.
Mike Hamrock, who
works at the Main Street
Surf Shop on Balboa Island,
sa,id when he was in high
school, his brother was the
only person he knew who
had a band.
When the group needed a
drummer, Mike was the per-
son called to fill in. And after
trying other drummers, the·
band decided to make Mike
a regular.
·with the team we have
now, we'll be able to give
Orange County an alterna-
tive.• Cofield said.

Get .JoJ;m Wayn~
cap debate off
the ground now
T here is no question: If
nothing is done, the
landscape and the way
of life in Newport-Mesa will
drastically change after 2005.
So, it follows, there should be
no question that extending the
flight restrictions at John Wayne
Airport -set to expire in five
short years -is a top priority
for residents.
The Newport Beach City
Council has it right.
The council members have
diligently-returned to the fight
to keep John Wayne from
increased flights. They have
committed to exploring how
they can maintain the limits at
the airport, although they have
said it will not keep them from
pursuing a second county air-
field at the shutte red El Toro
Marine Corps Air Station.
And, although many in
Newport B~ach consider him
mi enemy because he opposes
an El Toro airport, Supervisor
Tom Wilson has at least taken
up the flight restriction cause
with his fellow Orange County
supervisors.
Although the same can't be
said for Supervisor Jim Silva,
whose district includes Costa
Mesa, we do hope that by study-
ing the matter further, Silva will
see the wisdom in the city of
Newport Beach's argument.
Silva and the rest of the
board need to think about what
could happen to John Wayne in
five years.
When 2005 rolls around -and
it won't be long -there may be
more flights, bigger planes, no
curlew. Property values could
drop, air pollution might grow,
the noise would be insufferable.
And even the creation of a sec-
ond county airport can't guaran-
tee these events won't happen.
further illustrating the need to
keep the caps in place.
The curfew and the caps on
the number of flights -
detailed in the hard-fought
1985 settlement agreement -
are the results of a long, emo-
tional battle to preserve the res-
idential communities that sur-
round the airport.
Those who are now fighting
to keep John Wayne from grow-
ing have thrown most of their
ammunition into El Toro, which
has become, perhaps, the most
divisive county issue in recent ·
history.
We agree fighting for a South
County airport is in Newport-
Mesa's best interest, but we also
have to question why calling for
an extension of the 1985 settle-
ment agreement has not
received unanimous support
from local airport activists.
Instead , some activists, even
those who supported the 1985
agreement, have seemingly
ditched all efforts to protect
Newport-Mesa, instead focus-
ing only on El Toro.
That seems like too much of
a gamble.
As we see it, there is no reason
to back down from fighting for
an airport at El Toro. But there is
also a very good reason to cover
all bases -that being the fate of
John Wayne's flight caps.
So the only question that
remains is: will there be a unit-
ed effort to keep the caps at
John Wayne?
The answer seems pretty
easy to us.

Cosfa Mesa's Chris Steel was the top vote-getter ln the race for three City Council seats.
MAILBAG
Steel has the support
of area homeowners
In a recent post-election arbde.
Llbby Cowan hypothesizes that
Chris Steel was elected to the
Costa Mesa City Counal by a
small group of ultra-conservabves.
l hate to burst her bubble, but
l am a liberal and I voted for
Steel. Even a dyed-in-the-wool,
tree-huggmg Democrat such as
myself knows when enough is
enough.
Costa Mesa ovic polloes that
primarily affect the Westside
have drastically affected property
values in this area. and my
neighbors and I are sunply tired
of shouldenng these very real
costs of our city's •warm and
friendly• policies.
Comparable condos and
homes to the east of Harbor
Boulevard routinely sell for con-
siderably more than those on the
breezy bluffs of the Westside. In
all fairness. Westslde homeown-
ers cannot be expected to contin-
ue to shoulder a bwden of this
magrutude in order to maint.am
our "city with a heart• motto.
I hereby urge Cowan and the
Daily Pilot to get connected with
the homeowners, who are the
real stakeholders in this city.
We have invested hundreds of
millions of our hard-ea.med dol-
lars in this city. and it is time that
our belief in and investment m
Costa Mesa be met with a mod-
icwn of respect.
We are tired of being over-
looked while the leaders of ow
community fall all over them-
selves to provide for the needy.
In the absence of all of the
city-sponsored magnet programs,

ized 1tsell, thereby elmunabng
the need for costly and dJVlSlve

be learned here. The voters have

ANAHEIM -Being in the zone
took on double meaning Friday for
the Newport Harbor High football
team, which dispatched host
Kennedy, 49-10, in the ClF Southern
Section Division Vl quarterfinals at
Western High.
The Sailors utilized razor-sharp
focus to out execute the Fighting
Irish, but also relied on ubiquitous
zone pass coverage, blanketing the
field with six defenders to keep
Kennedy's potent passing game in
check.
The victory, nearly as one-sided
as last season's 49-0 semifinal bi-
un:iph over Kennedy, propelled the
fourth-seeded Sailors (10-2) to Sat-
urday's semifinal against top-seed-
ed La Mirada at Newport Harbor.
The Matadores (12-0) defeated
Cypress, 41-8, Friday.

"You need ro find ways to win

Mark Hiil said. •(Nick) Burwell
wasn't on his game today. He got
into foul trouble and he really didn't
carry the load. Fortunately, free
throws helped us get over the top.•
OCC's Nick Burwell, who scored
45 pomls in a 104-93 victory at El
Camino Wednesday, hit 8 of 23 en
route to 25 points, committed his
Uurd foul and left the. game with
seven minutes remaining in the first
half, before playing out the second
half.
"I came out sort of slow after the
hol.Jday because I ate good,• Bur-
well said "The team played real
well. They showed a lot of heart,
even though I wasn't in.·
Before he left, OCC (2-2) broke
away from an 8-8 tie to build a 27-17
advantage as Burwell scored 16 out
of the 19-point run.
But when Burwell left, the
Cougars went on a 14-2 run and
tied the score, 29-29, as they scored
on second and third chances from
offensive rebounds.
.. College of the Canyons (3-5) fin-
ished with 62 rebounds, half of
those offensive, and OCC grabbed
49 boards.
"Defensively, we did a very bad
job of boxing out,• Hill said.
Said Chad Hagedorn, who led
the Pirates with 28 points and 9
rebounds, "It was terrible. We were
giving up so many offensive boards.
That's how they were staying in the

After the Cougars' 14·2, the
Pirates retaliated with a 9-0 run to
close out the half and carry a 38-29

· The victory gives the defending
Division VI champions 23 the last two
s~asons, a school record.
But a Harbor blowout was not
apparent early.
After Kennedy fumbled on its third
play, setting up the Tars at the lrish 37,
the defense forced a punt.
Coach Mitch Olson's squad also
had to punt from its own 33, but a
muffed punt reception let them keep
possession op the Harbor 28.
After getting to the 11, Banigan and
Collins combined on stops for losses of
4 and 2 yards and Sprenger nearly
intercepted a third-down pass. forcing
a 34-yard field goal by Alex Vasquez.
Harbor went 69 yards on 11 plays
with the ensuing kickoff, however,
triggering touchdown marches on six
of seven possessions. The end of the
half was the only interruption in New·
port's offensive display.
That display included four catches
for 41 yards by Gaeta.
Harbor advances to the semis for
the sixth time in the last nine yea.rs and
ups its playoff record to 18-4 since
1992.
La Mirada will be a huge challenge
for the Tars. The Suburban League
champion is averaging 49.4 points this

shot, there are lots of gµys
who can score,~ Bowlus
said. "I really don't focus on
the offense. I don't have to
force up bad snots. U I don't score, somebody
else will.•
Despite the loss of 13 seniors from last
year's talented squad, BoWlus isn't totally
mystified to regained the CIF crown.
"I'm not surprised at all," he said. "Tbis
year's team is much more balanced as far as
our offense goes. Last year, we had two,
maybe three guys who could score, but now,
we have much more than that.~
"J was talking with
Coach (John) Vargas the
other day about my moving
from goalie,• Bowlus
recalled. "We both agreed
that it definitely was the
right move to make.•
The key to Bowlus' goal
success, besides being 6-6?
·1 don't go out there trying
to score on every play,· he
said. "I never go into a
, game thinking, 'I've got to
score six goals or we won't
win.' I just try to relax and
let the game come to me.•
Another coach excited
about Bowlus' athletic
maturity is Cd.M basketball
skipper Paul Orris, who will have the big
guy's services for the upcomi1'g season after
water polo.
"I didn't play last year so I could train for
water polo, but this year, I'm definitely going
to play,• Bowlus said. "Basketball is my
favorite sport, but I'm better in water polo.
I'd like to play water polo in college, but for
basketball, I'm just going to go out there and
have fun. Plus, we should have a pretty dam
good team.•

Mesa seeks coaches

varsity head coaches in boys
tennis abd boys volleyball.
Qualified ca.ndidates interest-
ed my contact Athletic Direc-
tor Klrk Bauermeister at (714)

• Eagles have experience (seven returners) and
three-point shooting, to battle PCL favorite Cd.M.
Richard Dunn
DAILY PILOT
COSTA MESA -The
whereabouts of the team's
returning starting center and
the eligibility time frame of a
freshman phenom guard could
shift the power in the Pacific
Coast League.
But, even with two players
in question, Coach Paul Kirby's
Estancia High Eagles should
battle for the top spot in the
Pacific Coast League girls bas-
ketball race with seven return-
ing players, including three
starters.
One or those starters, how-
ever, 5-foot-10 center Erika
Avalos, might have
gone to Mexico and
has yet to return to
Costa Mesa. •Maybe
she'll read this news-
paper and come
back,· Kirby quipped.
The other question
mark, ninth-grade
point guard Trisha
Wase, is at least listed
on the Estancia pre-
tlons in three or his first four
years, including last year's 17-
10 squad that finished second
in the PCL to Corona del Mar.
Estancia last season won an
opening-round playoff game at
home, then lost to Ganesha, 66-
45, in the second round of the
CIF Division ill-AA playoffs in
Pomona.
"Obviously, we want to win
league,• Kirby added, •but
we'll probably have to bump
off a couple of teams if we're
going to do that. Our two goals
are to win league and go to CIF.
Both are obtainable goals, but I
don't know.•
Locked in place are return-
ing starters Usa Hirata, a senior
guard, and Xochitl
Byfield, a 5-9 sopho-
more forward who can
post up or shoot three-
pointers. Hirata, a
fourth-year varsity
player and second-
team all·league
choice a year ago, will
play point guard until
Wase's future is decid-
ed.

Kirby, j!long with tlreles~
assistants Roge r Sison and
Stephanie McDowell, believes
the Eagles' experience with at
least seven returning players
(and possibly an eighth with
Avalos) will put them in con-
tention for the league champi-
onship.
Wase is reportedly
working on an intradistrlct
transfer from Costa Mesa. ·u
she's eligible, she's one or the
better players in the league,•
Kirby said. •After that, I'd look
out. She's quick, she can shoot
and she can handle the ball.
She's small (5-4), but she's still
a good rebounder. She's been
playing on traveling teams
since the sixth grade."
While Wase's future on the
Estancia hardwood could be
weeks away, the Eagles are
nevertheless planning to attend
another postseason party.
·we should go to the play-
offs,• laid Kirby, entering his
fifth season as bead coach,

"I don't have a b'ue center,•
said Kirby, wbo hopes Byfield
and 5-8 senior Jessica Orel-
lana, the other starting forward,
will be able to plug up the mfd-
dle defensively.
Backup point guard Marie
Rodriguez, a junior. and 5. 7
senior forward Hilda Vasquez
are also returning letter win-
ners from last season.

"We've been working really
hard. Hopefully, it pays off
when it comes down to it in the
big games against Costa Mesa
and Corona del Mar,• Kirby
said. "Costa Mesa wW be a bat-
tle. Those. games (for the Lady
Bell Thopby) are always a battle.
•J'd say Corona del Mar
should be favored to win
league. (It) won league last
year and has got (four starters)
back, lnclµding the Co-MVP of
the PCL (Kristin McCOy)."
Kirby said his Eagles will
feature six players who have
the green light to shoot three·
