Daily Pilot WORKING So many Christmas sales) so little iime left -Tom Quilliam HE IS Selling hilting boots. jackets and love for the outdoors SHARING THE LOVE Quilliam, 28, said he fell in love with the outdoors as a child, when he was introduced to camping a nd hiking th.rough the Boy Scouts of America and family trips. Now his goal is to share the love by helping novices meet nature and chal- lenging experts to reach their vertical lim- its. Quilliam has been a sales clerk for Adventure 16-which sells hiking, rock climbing and camping gear in Costa Mesa -for about 10 months. • "The difficult part is t:ryUlg to convey to people that I'm not trying to be a nui- ' sance or a 'typical salesperson,' but that I'm someone who really wants to help them because I like the outdoors,• Quilliam said. "We're promoting the out- door environment and helping people to appreciate it more, because I think the wilderness needs to be preserved. We spend most of our time indoors, but the more time people spend outdoors, the more people will want to save them.· Selling his enthusiasm for adventure BLAZJNG A NEW TRAIL After he received his bachelor's degree in English literature, Qu.illiam's plans were to teach in a foreign country. He spent 2 112 years teaching English in Kazakhstan, an Eastern Europ ean country that was part of the former Soviet Union. . But then. Quilliam decided to come home. •1t was time to move on to something else,• he said. •I went In with no training, and I realized training was really neces- sary. I enjoy backpacking, climbing and the outdoors, so I wanted to get a job that would allow me to focus on those things. I wanted training I could oombine with the skills I already have to promote some- . thing down the line. One idea is to start a wilderness camp for kids in the (former) Soviet Union, also involving English.• EARNING INSPIRATION Quilliam said working at Adventure 16 is providing him with experience he needs. · Although be has yet to participate in any of the store's frequent wilderness out- ings, Quilliam said he has been hilcing or climbing an average of twice a month since beginning his job. "f d like to see where this job can carry me,• Quilliam said. One of bis favorite excursions was an August trip to Kilimanjaro, an extinct vol- cano in Tunzania and the highest moun- tain in Africa. Many of the store's cus- tomers have also been to Kilimanjaro, Quilliam said. as well as to mountains of Peru and Ecuador. "You hear about so many amazing experiences -someone is biking aaoss New Zealand, someone else is climbing Aconcagua in Peru, someone e lse is climbing Mt. McKinley• in Alaska , Quilliam said. ·vou hear about all the cool things people have done, and you want to try them too.

Tom Mix and Gene Autry and Hopalong Cassidy were Good Guys, and anyone opposing them was Bad. To make sure there was no con- fusion on this point. the Good Guys always wore white bats and the Bad Guys wore black. In other areas of American life, the Chicago nibune - which now pays me for writ- ing this sort of thing -kept Midwesterners straight on such matters. Daddy War- bucks and Orphan Annie were Good. Rich people were Good because they got rich by working hard and saving their money and investing in Standard Oil. Union leaders were Bad because they took money a.way from rich people. Everyone who voted for Calvin Coolidge and Herbert Hoover were Good. Those who didn't were probably Socialists and maybe anar- chists. And so it went I've tried all my life to live by these precepts I learned Joseph N. Bell THE BELL CURVE in my Indiana youth. It hasn't always b een easy, but I've got to say that it has never been more difficult th;m it is right now in New- port Beach and Costa Mesa. A.bewildering confusion of events in the past ye.ar has made it almost impossible to tell the White Hats from the Black Hats -thus threaten- ing the mental health of the entire community. ' The current confusion started with the multiple elec- tions on the proposed El Toro airport. George Argyros and Bruce Nestande and the Newport Beach Chamber of Commerce and their pals were the Good Guys. Think- ing only of the continued prosperity and welfare of local residents -as they pointed out to us repeatedly-they contrtbuted both serious time and great gobs of money toward getting that airport built. Although I sometimes found it uncomfortable to be in bed with these people who normally aren't my soul mates, I found it even more uncomfortable to contemplate more airplanes Dying over my backyard from John Wayne Airport. It has always seemed reasonable to me to share this discomfort with the South County folks. But after our neighbors in Irvine'-RE:ally Bad Guys - blew away the El Toro sup- porters with a campaign made up in equal parts of copious amounts of money and baloney, some of our El Toro Good Guys changed hats and took another joll. They poured new gobs of money into a scam called Measure T that would have negated the Greenlight Initiative, Measure S. So the Measure T propo- nents were 0 and 2 when T lost big and Greenlight passed big. Then the hat-shifting moved to the Orange County Board of Supervisors. Throughout the El 'Toro dis- pute, there had been three Good supervisors and two Bad ones. But when Measure F won, the tone began to change. We must accept the El Toro defeat gracioUSly, we were told, and turn all our efforts toward maintaining the cap on flights out of John Wayne. And those Really Bad Guys in Irvine -out of their profound sense of justice and the goodness of their hearts - would be delighted to help us in this effort and thus become Good Guys. There were, however, some strings attached. When the Newport Beach City Council asked the Board of Supervi- sors, with considerable urgency, to start the process of protecting the cap, three members chose to drag their feet. One of the foot-draggers was Todd Spitzer, who explained to the Daily Pilot, with more candor than we usually get from politicians, that he would switch his vote if his Irvine constituents were assured that Newport Beach would drop its fight for an air- port at El Toro. Quid pro quo, he called it. Further complicating this picture is that the Ultimate Bad Guy, Supervisor Tom Wil- son -who outraged his Newport Beach constituents by voting against the El Toro airport -voted with the Good Quys on the John Wayne cap proposal. And two of the pro-El Toro Supervisors joined the foot-draggers. Almost as a sidelight while we were trying to sort all this out, a majority on the Board of Supervisors, made up of all three El Toro Good Guys, decided th.at two-thirds of Orange County voters bad it wrong in recently passing Measure H. So these three supervisors filed suit to try and overturn a clear public mandate to use the great bulk of Orange County funds from the tobacco settlement for public health measures - proving th.at one-time Good Guys can be both stupid and arrogant. (Don't throw it up to me that Measure F won by a similar margin as Measure H . There are substantial differ- ences, one of them being that I like Measure H and detest Measure F.) Now I have to sweat out another possible hat change. It is quite clear that the pressure to expand airport facilities in Orange County is going to increase. lt is also dear that the heavily funded, intransi- gent anti-El Toro faction isn't going to relax its choke.bold easily, even after the Superior Court decision that Measwe F is unconstitutional, That deci- sion will be appealed and probably followed by yet another vote on this issue. And all those overblown, fear- mongertng filers will be in our mailboxes again. If the anti-airport forces prevail in a new election or are able to tie-up the issue in endless litigation, the tip-off is going to come from the peo- ple who are funding the fight for El Toro. They need much greater airport capacity to pursue their business goals. U they ever become convinced that El Toro is not going to Dy, they may very well support the expansion of John Wayne. When and if that happens, the black and white hats are going to be irrevocably con- fused -and I'll be checking out real estate in Topeka, Kan. All this gives me a headache.

Soll-Flo, the dredging con- tractor, will pay $375,000. Representatives for the com- pany could not be reached for comm.ent Wednesday. In 1998 and 1999, the coun- ty contracted with Soll-Ao to dredge nearly 1 million cubic yards of sand and mud from the bay. Due to misprograrnmed posi- tioning systems, the company missed the designated dump- ing site four miles off shore. On more than 1,000 trips, Soli-Flo released the loads into the - wrong areas. "What it was was sloppy." said Brian Ross, of the EPA's dredging management team. The dumping loads had not been contaminated with toxic , substances, allowing the ani- mals living in the area to come back quickly, Ross said. Ross added that it was deter- nuned neither the county nor the contractor intentionally dumped sand and mud in the wrong areas.

The probation, originally scheduled to expire in January, was extended to this month because of a probation viola- tion last year.

WHAT HAPPENED: The Costa Mesa Planning Commission postponed reviewing the Q-Club Billiards & Cafe for another 90 days. WHAT IT MEANS: The commis-· sion originally was scheduled to review the cafe's compliance with modified permits that were approved in August on Nov. 27. The review was delayed until Monday's meet- ing because neither the prop- erty owner nor neighbors who have filed complaints about the c.afe at 1525 Mesa Verde Drive East attended the November meeting. The busineu is allowed to have a small smoking area In back of the c.afe but is not allowed to 5efW food or alco- hol there. It also must super- vise the area to minimize noise. The owners had applied for permission to create an outdoor dining patio and sell hard liquor but withdrew that application after the commis-- sion received se\lefal com- plaints in August about cus- to~ smoking and loitering in front of the cafe. Monday's review will allow the landlord, Mmil Les. to try to resolve differences among tenants, which indude the Q- Oub Billiards & Cafe and the Dancers in Motion dance stu- dio. which filed a complaint against the cafe. Les is scheduled to present his resolution of the issue to the commission in March. 20-50o/o OFF entire stock ThruDec.W All sales final No prir<' adjustments on previOlL'i purchase-,. 11011~: M·Fri 9:30-3:30 Sat 9:30-3:00 Sun 9::u~ I :30 1829 WESTCLIFF DRIVE, NEWPORT BEACH (949) 645-1355 . ~ A6 lhundoy, December 14, 2000 • send~ TOWN It~ to the Dally Pilot.

Beek "understands what the folks had in mind,• Heffernan said. "He's genuinely interested in having Greenlight implemented in a fair way." To set guidelines for the imple- mentation, at least six of the seven council members must approve them, according to the initiative's provisions. Two other areas for possible City Council interpretation are definitions As far as ~ project's floor area is concerned, council members will probably decide whether to use a project's net or gross floor area to determine if it must go before a city- wide vote. While •gross floor area• would encompass the entire building, •net floor area" would leave out such areas as elevator shafts, staircases and walls, Beek said. City Atty. Bob Burnham agreed with Beek that the issue of a defini- tion of peak-hour trips was not prob- lematic, but he.said that a specific interpretation would give people more clear-cut guidelines. "We think that it would be appro- priate to define it 'now so people wiJl know whether a particular amend- ment requires voter approval," Burn- ham said Wednesday. He added that he would probably circulate a preliminary draft of the guidelines among city officials and modify them based on responses he receives before presenting a report to the council and the public Jan. 9.

New testified Tuesday that Bechler described his wife's mur- der in great detail the night of Oct. 16, 1999, after both had spent the night partying, drinking and taking the drug Ecstasy. Barnett's questions to her Wednesday. were aimed at prov- ing the defense's theory that Bechler lied to New about killing his wife to fuel her fantasy of dat- ing men who-live dangerously. He also said Bechler spun the story of a gruesome murder to put an end to her "yelling and screaming# - a tactic Barnett suggested New used to get her way. New testified Tuesday that Bechler told her about "blood all over the boat" as he hit his wife on the head and then explained how he tied her up and dumped the body in the ocean with 70 pounds of weights. Barnett point- ed out that when New told police later about that Eric Bechler conversation, she said: "I put it all together for him. He was just fill- ing the blanks.· New told Barnett that she pre- tended she was having a psychic vision of what happened in the boating trip to make Bechler tell the truth. •So you wanted to hear what you believed to be the truth?" Barnett asked. "No," said New, who showed exasperation. "I was hoping it wasn't the truth .... I was hoping he didn't kill his wife.# Barnett also questioned New about her "psychic visions." asking il she really believed she was psychic. Thursday, December 14, 2000 ~ "Yes,• New said. "Not now. But I was in fifth and sixth grade. I'd know when the phone would ring or what people were going to say." Earlier, New told Deputy Dist. Atty. Debora Uoyd that she was convicted for fraud in July for tak- ing money out of somebody's bank account without the per- son's permission. After the hearing, Barnett said be believed New's testimony Wednesday supported the defense case. "She admitted that when she met Bechler he was a goody- good," he said. "She admitted Bechler thought she wanted him to be a bad boy like" her ex- boytriend. . . Also, Barnett said New's state- ments demonstrated the context of the conversation that included Bechler's desoiption of killing his wife. "He lied to shut her up," Bar- nett said. •After three hours of yelling, he would admit to the Kennedy assassination." ho ... ho ... ho Its Red!

George R. Crisp 0 n a recent drug store shopping uip, I was pleasantly surprised ro hear C hristmas carols over the store's sound system. Yes, I know that this is the scuon when merchants entice their customers with holiday music, but most often you hear the C hristmas songs. Somehow the carols, with their beautiful message of Jesus' birth gets lost amid songs like "Jingle Bell Rode" and "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer: How refreshing it was t0 hear the "good news of great joy" in the hymru of "O Come, AJI Ye Faithful" and "O Little Town of Bethlehem." Our cultural celebration of Christmas hu become a blend of many traditions and srorics. We blithely mix the stories of Santa, Scrooge .md the Savior. We happily go in search of the "perfect gift," we decorate our homes with the best trimmings we can afford, and we extend ourselves in holiday hospitality. Some people can't get enough of all the season offers, while other people hope they can survive it all. This Christmas, let me invite you to remember the manger as you go to the mall. Let chis be a time to recall that God sends us a Savior. Christmas is about how God gives us Jesus Christ, who is the "perfect gift" for aJI creation. Could this be the year when our holiday celebrations and activities amplify our praise for whac God is doing? In thinking about Christmas, I wrote this bymn as an invitation co remember the beloved story of Jesus' humble birth: Come to lkthlthem Mary 11nd }ostph trawl through tht country But find. in UIWn, therri no room for thtm; Sn'IJ. grace provitkd shelter in tht "4rlmm: Comt to tht stabk of &rhlthmi.

For us to receive the blessing of the angels' good news, we must respond as the shepherds and to the manger to meet the Christ Child. No matter how far away from God we may feel, God's mercy is bounriful and God welC?mcs us home when we come to the Savior. As you prepare for Christmas, be sure co come to Bethlehem.

The formal coming out party honored 24 college women who have dedicated the past six years of their philanthropic time to Nation- al Charity League endeavors. The debutante presenta- tion is the culmination of some 6,500 hours of conunu- nity service work performed by these young women in the greater Newport-Mesa community and ad1otning region. The everung was filled with tears and hugs as the presentations were made. THE CROWD AJso introduced to the black-tie crowd was Mrs. John Thomas Lorenz, presi- dent of the Newport chapter of the National Charity League, along with Mrs. Thomas Marshall Lally, the 2000 debutante activities committee director. Following lime honored trad.Jtion, the 24 debutantes were presented by James Francis Roberts. Each young woman was welcomed mto society with fervent applause as she paraded into the ball- room, escorted. wearing her individually selected floor- length white gown, accented with long white gloves and a satin muff. Around each young debutante's neck was the gold and pearl medallion of the organization, signifying the completion of the pro- gram steeped in social awareness and community responsibility. It was an evening meant for families to rejoice in the splendor of their daughter's maturation. A wonderful moment in time between childhood and adulthood when the innocence and beauty of young life faces the dean slate of tomorrow -a slate meant to be filled with promise, both of the individual and conununity variety. The league has offered the slogan, "We search for charity within ourselves and strive for the graciousness to share it with others.• Front Row: Prom left.

Regular viewers from the first six years may not.lee some added dimension to the show in the form of character interncl.lon, but the basic format remams. Costume designer Shigeru Yaji has created some highly effective masks for the actors to use for their secondary characters.

A16 Thur.day, December 1.t, 2000 DATEBOOK ' Doily Pilot Wme list makes Fleming's a choice-Cut steakhouse By Stephen 5antaaoce W hen upscale steak· houses began their comeback several years ago, I wondered if it was just a passing fad, like cigar smoking DINING or The-bo. After REVIEW ~~~~nee as well as by the bottle. County's finest continue downing artery-clog- ging steaks before over- whehning guilt sent them running to their therapists? Well, judgin~ by the crowds at flleming's Steak· house in Newport Beach, red meat is here to stay. Wrtbout a doubt. the best appetizer at Fleming's is the onion rings ($6.95). No wimpy shreds of paper-thin onion here. Inch-thick slices of sweet onions are dipped in buttennflk and then dredged in seasoned bread aumbs before being deep fried. The result is a crispy crust, encas- ing tasty, sweet onions that are brought out stacked in a pyramid about a foot high. The shrimp cocktail ($9.95) demonstrates classic steak- house simplicity. Four plump, firm shrimp are arranged · around a bowl of ice, with a zesty cocktail sauce perched in the center. Fleming's follows the suc- cessful formula established by Morton's and Ruth's Chris. and it's no surprise. Paul Fleming, the "P.F" in the suc- cessful chain of upscale Chi· nese eateries P.F. Chang's, was an original Ruth's Chris operator. What differentiates his latest venture is the signa- ture wine list that offers more than 100 wines by the glass, Another good choice is the seared abi ($10.50), which is dusted in cajun spices and served with a sinus-opening soy-wasabi sauce. My favorite salad is the wedge of iceberg lettuce ($6.50) that's topped with chopped tomatoes, red onion and a judicial lacing of creamy dressing studded with "The Ultimate Monogram Shop" • Pn-toNtliutl Gifa for Frinuh 0- .

The garlicky Caesar ($.5.95) 1s reliable, but could benefit from some fresh anchovy. For main courses, the menu follows a pattern stan- dard at most upeca.le steak- houses.

A 22-ounce T- bone ($29.95) was offered as a special one-evening, and I couldn't resist. Bone- in steaks seem tQ have more flavor, and I love the combina· tion of filet and New.' York strip that make up this cut. Unfortu- nately, it's a difficult steak to cook right Fleming's version came close. The New York strip was medi- um-rare, as I ordered. but the filet portion was too close to medium to be per- fect. For those craving some- thing else, Fleming's offers an excellent veal chop ($26.95). Fish lovers will like the salmon ($19.50), served with a cabemet butter sauce. The wine by the glass poli- cy is unique, and is a great way to sample different food and wine pairings. The per- bottle prices are higher than comparable restaurants.

There're two choices -up the mountain or off the mountain, and the second option is not such a fun idea. ·v ertical Limit" tells the story of a fast REEL ra~ to the top, with three CRITICS teams trying to find any sur- vivors of a climbing team that fell under a mountain storm and avalanche. There should be a warning toe this movie, like the ones on the amusement park roller-ooasters. From the moment "Vertical Umit9 starts to the minute the credits roll, there is a very high stress level. It gives you this crazy adrena- line rush. Add that to the chilly a.Ir- conditioning rushing into the movie theater, and it's hard to believe you're not up on the mountain in the midst of the wildness too. Before we go any further, it should be admitted that this is an action movie. They need to get up the mountain in short time. Not much of a plot, but there is an interesting subplot that cannot be mentioned without ruining the movie. It's a great new twist on the old formula. The stunts are spectacular. There is no way to guess what will happen from one minute to the next, and that's what makes this action movie inter· esting. ·vertical Limit• goes well beyond the action movie mentality.

Unlike his last movie, "The Bachelor,• ·vertical Umit" actually provides a way to showcase his abilities to act. The force of his pres· ence is definitely a great gain for the film. His turn as the protective older brother is believable, which is probably the highest praise for an action movie character.

Vertical Umit" Bill Paxton shines as the slick billionaire who is fronting the expedition. His smile begs to be slapped off his face. Robin· Tunney, though, is stellar as the idealistic climber. The changes she has to make when her character gets caught in the avalanche is a treat to watch. There is a great chemistry between O'Donnell and Tunney as tur- bulent siblings. The dlaracters actually matter to the film. It's just a bizarre twirl in the action world that should happen more often. In this time of holiday rush, •Vertical Limit" is a great stimulant.

We'll~. of course, with the Newport Harbor Sailors football team. The Sailors capped off the end of a great season by falling just short of winning their sec- ond CIF championship in a row, losing 14-0 to the Irvine High Vaqueros on Friday night in a thriller at LeBard Stadium at Orange Coast College. Second place is not an easy spot to accept sometimes, just ask Al Gore. But the gridiron Sailors were gracious and sportsmanlike in defeat and certainly have noth- ing to be ashamed of this year with an overall 11-3 record. The fact that they made it as far as they did deserves kudos alone because the defending CIF champions were a longshot to everl make it to the final game this year, much less repeat. But they played this season Activist says get involved before judging others' efforts with the same spirit and pride that has been a hallmark of teams coached by their leader, Jeff Brinkley. The Sailors football team, however, isn't the only one wor- thy of praise this year. As usual, the local prep sports programs have a litany of accolades and accomplishments to be happy about. Here are but a few: • Both Corona del Mar and Estancia high football teams made the CIF playoffs; • Newport Harbor's water polo team took the CIF Division I crown; • Corona del Mar's boys' water polo team took the Divi- sion n championship; • Newport Harbor's girls' cross-country team, and Amber Steen, became two-time CIF champions; • • Corona del Mar's girls' cross-country team is CIF and state champions; •Newport Harbor's girls' ten- nis team was a finalist in CIF; SEAN HUER I DAILY PILOT Newport Harbor's Chris Manderlno breaks free from Westminster's defense during a CIF playoff game. The Sailors went on to the CIF Dlvision·VI Championship game against Irvine High School, but lost. 14-0. • Newport Harbor's girls' field hockey team is Sunset League champions and second in the county's tournament of champions (there is no CIF field hockey competition); •Corona del Mar's girls' ten- nis team took the CIF champi- onship title, and Corona del Mar's girls' individual CIF champion was Brittany Reitz; • Estancia's boys' cross-coun- try team took second at CIF; • OCC's football team came up short in the Strawberry Bowl championship game, and the men's soccer team went to the state finals; • Costa Mesa High's girls' soccer team is on its way to a terrific season. READERS RESPOND . For their efforts, these play- ers deserve both congratula- tions and thanks for all the exciting and memorable moments they provide. Newport-Mesa has many reasons to be proud. Residents still sparked by holiday lights • AT ISSUE: Readers are still at odds about whether schools should be allowed to display decorative lights ('Holiday lights go out at Mariners Elementary,' Dec. 7). I was displeased to read that Dana Black, school board presi- dent, made a point to order sea- sonal lights to be taken down at Mariners Elementary. Prom what l read in tl}e Pilot, the lights were put up outside the classrooms by parent volunteers who were already at the site doing yard maintenance. Public schools are allowed to acknowledge religious holidays. Hanukkah, Ramadan and Tet are all given mention and attention. Christmas, however, wbil~ given a lot of attention, is often reduced to Santa Clause and bis reindeer. As a fourth-grade teacher, I per- sonally find it difficult to give much of any attention to anything non· cunicular, given my district's focus on state standards. I also under- stand oon-Cbri.stl.ans who may feel disconnected to the majority group when issues such as Christmas arise. Teachers, perhaps, should leave all cultural and traditional teaching to parents. Then again, what better place to learn about . each other and our various beliefs? · I was raised in a Christian home and still observe the faith. My wi.f e and I celebrate the birth of Jesus (Dec:. 25 may or may not ~ the actual birth date) through faith, fel· lowship and worship. We thank God dally, throughout the year, for this gift of gifts .• Everythlng else is basically secular in nature. In fact, growing up, my Buddb.lst neigh· bors from Vietnam would often beat us in the race to put up lights, as would some atheists I knew. I simply thought (end continue to COITICI YOUI llPllSllTlnYIS COISICOMHllm COWll llllllCT Dilt:rtct Oltice: 1310 Adulll Ave., Cotta Meee 93628, (11., .:1~5898 O.m .alGf'I WUam M; Vega ao.d: Walter Howald. SberrY think) that house lights are a win- ter decoration, are festive in nature and are put up to brighten our .J.ongest nights. Other traditions, -"Uch as a Chrisbnqs tree and -vari- ous other decorations, are more for ourselves and can only be loosely tied to anything Christian. I would welcome Graham Tin- gler (and any other volWlteer) to come to my school to help main- tain our facilities and put up sea- sonal lights. We would not take you for granted and thank you pro- fusely. · JOEL FARIS Costa Mesa Chrlsbnas lights are not an act of insensitivity, they are a sign of celebration for one and all in America. Let all American children ' celebrate the Christmas season. Dana Black, don't take yourself so seriously.

J told her how much I was looking forward to going but thought it best that I stay home. I did not want any single women to be offended or feel uncomfortable. I also wanted to mow the lawn, clean the garden and wash the cars, but I thought any person with a limiting handicap might feel uncomfortable seeing me doing all this, when maybe they aren't able. Then I thought I would go out shopping for the holidays, but after driving around all afternoon, the only stores I could find were deco- rated in Chrisbnas decorations. So as not to be insensitive, 1 thought best not to offend anyone by enter- ing. At this time, I realliled that I had burned a half a tank of gas for no reason, and what would the Air Quality Management District think of me? So, I wrote a letter of apolo- gy, and then realized the paper I was using might be from a tree in the rain forest! After considering therapy for all my thoughts, the solution came to me: If we did aw4"y with the holi- days, nobody would be offended this time of y~. So when I picked up the paper this morning and read the article "Holiday lights go out Mariners Elementary,' I was happy to know I wasn't pie only person in town being very <!onsiderate of others!

HILL Costa Mesa It was a pleasure to see the quick action taken at Mariners Ele- mentary regarding the Cb.ri.stmu lights. I agree completely with the removal of them on public property. Now, how about sending a mes- sage about the decorated tree across from the Balboa Fire Depart· ment that stands on public proper· ty?

Barry Faulkner DAILY PILOT lRVINE -It took a halftime adjustment to get the Estanoa High boys basketball team back into Wednesday's non- league contest at Irvine High. But adjustments are nothing new to Hrst-year Estancia Coach Chris Sorce, who has had to tinker with personnel all preseason. Irvine (5·1) took advantage of the Eagles' lack of stability to claim a 56-4 7 vtctory. ~It's growtng pains,· said Sorce, who started sophomore point guard Matt Cachola for the first time, was without senior starter Cesar Romero (ill· ness) and brought junior stand· out Micah Young off the bench against the Vaqueros. Cachola, maklng his varsity debut, missed the first four games with a pulled groin. The strategic adjustment, utilizing senior Kenny Valbue- na at the high post against an Irvine defense which kept cen- ter David Cox in the key, helped Estanaa tum a 24-21 halftime defi cit into a 37-35 lead, heading into the final period. Valbuena had seven of his 11 points dunng the quarter. while twin brother Danny VaJ - buena had hve of his seven rebounds during the period. Eliasar Maldonado bad 11 of his game-high 20 points in the second quarter to keep the Eagles dose, while Young had 11 of his 14 after intermission. You.rig. whose putback (the fourth Estancia shot of the pos· session) put Estancia ahead for the first time with 5:27 left in the third quarter, scored on a layin with 3:23 left to give the visitors a 42-39 edge. But Irvine scored the next 12 points to drop the Eagles to 2-3. ·we haven't had a game that dose in the fourth quarter, so, hopefully, our kids will learn from th.ls,• Sorce said. Maldonado drtlled four three-pointen, including a 25. footer to pull Estanda wt.thin 51-47 with 30 seconds left. •1t was a doser game than the final IC01'e abows, • Sorce said.

Barry Faulkner DAILY PILOT Newport Harbor High senior Peter Belden, who led the Sailors to their first CIF Southern Section f>oys water polo championship since 1984, is the Division I Player of the Year, as select- ed by section coaches. Belden, a first-team All-CIF selec- tion as a junior and the Sea View League Player of the Year this fall, amassed 96 goals, a team-leading 80 steals, as well as 75 assists for the Sailors, who topped Foothill, 15·9, in the Nov. 22 CIF championship game to finish 26-5. Newport Harbor seniors Ryan Cook and Steven Jendrusina are also first-team honorees, while teammates Brandon McLain is recognized on the second team and Joey Snelgrove on the third team. Brian Kreutzkamp and Bill Barnett, who share coaching duties for the Sailors, are the Division's Co-Coaches of the Year. Cook, a second-team All-CIF choice as a junior, had a team-leading 101 goals and also collected a team- best 90 assists. A two-time first-team all-league selection, Cook added 35 steals for a Harbor squad that Peter Belden Ryan Cook HIGH SCHOOL WATER POLO avenged a disappointing semifinal exit from the 1999 CIP playoffs, which ended a 26-3 campaign. Jendrusina, another first-team all- league honoree, posted 62 goals, 47 steals and 39 assists. McLain, a senior goalie who had one of his best performances in the title game (eight saves), finished with 181 saves for the season. He also con- tributed 23 assists and made seven steals. Snelgrove, a senior, had 47 steals, 38 goals and 35 assists to help Harbor earn its 11th section championship in its first title-game appearance since 1987. The Sailors, who won the Sea View League crown for the fourth straight season, rely on the legendary Barnett, a former U.S. men's Olympic team coach, to formulate the game plan and break down videotape of oppo- nents. Kreutzkamp, who played and Steven Jendrustna Brandon Mcl.aln Joey Snelgrove coached on CIF championship teams et Costa Mesa High, guides the squad from the bench and runs workouts.

Carey vs. Ross? Time • t ell • Two of Newport Harbor High's finest girls volleyball graduates are each a win from an NCAA finals showdown. Tony Altobelli DAILY PILOT 1Wo former Newport Harbor High girls volleyball standouts are leading their teams into the Final Four of the NCAA women's volley- ball tournament tonight. Jennifer Carey. a sophomore setter for the University of Hawaii, and USC's freshman outside hitter April Ross have helped guide their teams to Richmond, Va. for the national semifinals. The Wahines (31-1) will take on Nebraska (32-0) at 3 p.m ., while the ltojans (29-2) do battle with Wisconsin (32-3) in the other semi- final at 5:30 (PST}. Both semifinal matches a re tonight at the Richmond Coliseum with the finals to take place on Sat- urday at 12:30 at the same site. Last year. Carey became the flrst freshman setter to start for the Wahines since 1985 when Melinda Beckenbauer accomplished the same feat. In the past two seasons, Carey has amassed well over 2,000 · assists, including 1,277 this year, helping Hawaii reach the NCAA championships for the sixth time in the program's history. The Wahines have destroyed the competition, 94-13, in games. Hawaii's onJy loss came at the hands of Long Beach State on Nov. 25, snapping the Wahines' 27- match winning streak. Included in those 27 straight wins was a streak of 36 consecutive games won and 55 of 56. Carey, a two-time, All-Western Athlebc Conference selection, was named to the West Regional all- tournament team as the Wahines pulled off wins over Davidson, Utah, Long Beach State and UC Santa Barbara. While Carey is doing the pass- ing at Hawaii, Ross is the spiking queen for the Trojans. On a team with only thiee seniors and three freshman starters, Ross' all-around play has guided the 1Tojans to a 29-2 record. The freshman outside hitter leads the lrojans in kills (383) and is among the team leaders in digs (316) and blocks (57). Ross was not oniy a hrst-team, All-Pacific-10 selection, but she was namee the Pac-lO's Freshman of the Year. Her latest accolades come in the form of second-team All-American laurels, wh.ich were accorded by American Volleyball Coaches Association Wednesday. ln addibon to her laurels from the Pac-10, Ross was honored on the All-Pacific Region team as selected by the AVCA. She was also the AVCA's Freshman of the Year. The ltojans advanced to the Final FouI for the first ·time since • 1985 and will look to contend for their !ifth national championship and second NCAA title. They defeated Georgia State, Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, Flonda and defending nabonal champion Penn State to earn the tnp to Richmond. ln those four matches, the no- jans failed to lose a smgle game, as Ross comptled 54 lolls on her way to Most Valuable Player honors. In games, the 'ItoJans hold an 87-17 advantage over the opposi- tion and have nearly 600 more points. With both teams so talented and at the same time, extremely young, this may be the first of many Carey- Ross national title showdowns, should the Trojans and Wahines each win their semifincil matches. EX-TARS ROSS, CAREY IN THE NCAA LIMELIGHT Newport standouts hoping for showdown on Saturday. setting and defense. area has ctlways been represented well at the Final Four. night's NCAA Division I women's volleyball Final Four will feature two fonner New- port Harbor High stars. The first match, held at the Richmond Coliseum at Virginia Commonwealth University has No. 1-ranked Nebraska playing the No. 3 Hawaii Wahines, led by sophomore setter Jennifer Carey. The second match pits Wisconsin against the USC ltojans and freshman standout April Ross. Hawaii advanced to the Final Four with wins in the West Regional, held in Honolulu, over Long Beach State (in five thrilling games) and UC Santa Barbara (four games). Carey was named to the All-Regional team. UCSB's attack GOLF CONTINUED FROM B 1 featured former Orange County Volleyball Club member Danielle Bauer. USC advanced to the Final Four without losing a game in the tournament. With sweeps of Florida and defending champion Penn . State, the ltojans seem to be peaking at the right time. She has always been on successful tea.ms through her h.igh school. club and now, college playing days. The 1985 final in which the University of the Pacific's Brooke Herrington, Andrea Redick and Christy Moiso as well as Wendy Rush who grew up m Newport, appeared. Ross was named the Most Outstanding Player at the Regional, leading her team in kills, and was second in digs. April's versatility is again a major factor in her successful play. Able to play all three positions very well, the Trojans move her to different positions continually, which leads to confuse the opposition who work to stop her. The atte ntion Charlie Brande VOLLEYBALL There have been t8 Newport-Mesa players who have played on national championship Both April and Jennifer were major reasons behind ,the successes of Newport Harbor Coach Dan Glenn and his Sailors' back-to-back state champions.

Even the coaching had a local flavor with CdM's Pam Lawrence Brande assisting at Long Beach. while Newport's Lara Asper was an assistant at Stanford.

VOLLEYBALL CONTINUED FROM 83 tremendous impact in this tournament, as does Jennifer. Their years of high-level play in high school and club gives them experience beyond their years. Newport's Misty May, who played al the same advanced high level in high school and club, utilized her experience to lead Long Beach State to the national championship in 1998 as well as winning the National Player of the Year honor. The American Volleyball Coaches Association holds its annual convention in conjunction with the Final Four Championship, which brings all the college, club and many high school coaches to the tournament site. This ensures a very large crowd for these matches. Both Jennifer and April have played in the finals at the Volleyball Festival in front of over 10,000 people, so these crowds should not affect their play.

With the Daily Pilot Athlete of the Week leading the way, the Sailors are 8-1. heading into tonight's second-round tournament game with Magnolia at the Anaheim Convention Center. He scored 85 points in four games last week, helping Coach Larry Hirst's Tars advance to the title game of the Bill Reynolds Classic, where they fell to highly regarded El Toro Saturday night, 53-41. And, just as it was not love at first sight, Melum's initial experiences with basketball, provided little gratification. • 1 was a honible player,• he recalled. "I think I may have set some record for the most offensive rebounds known to man, because I couldn't make a layup. I had to practice a lot of stupid stuff, like dribbling the ball. And the only way I could hit the rim from beyond the three-point line was to shoot granny style.• But, ironically, it was this failure that drew Melwn closer and closer to the game. "What changed my mind about basketball was that I wasn't good at it,· Melwn explained. ~rd always been pretty athletic and fairly smart, so there were not a lot of things I was bad at. But I was bad at basketball and I started having a lot of tun tJyl.ng to get better ... Taking advantage of his mother's one-week stay In the hospital dwing his eighth-grade year, Melum and his father cemented a basketball goal, against her wishes, into the back yard. Aided by a daily practice venue, Melum averaged closed to 30 points per game for the Harbor freshman team. He was starting for the varsity the summer before his sophomore year, but a broken left (shooting) arm, courtesy of an ill-fated motorcycle trip just before the season opener, all but sabotaged his season. He did average 9.6 points in 18 games, but he was never 100% physically. And, forced to come off the bench, he admittedly pressed. • l played like a chicken with its head cut off.• he recalled. Melum, however, did store 24 points in the season-ending CIF playoff loss to Brea Olinda, which helped set his offseason mind at ease. ·I finally got to show I could play,• said Melum, who devoted himself to doing the same this season. "I worked hard in the weight room to get stronger and all I did was play basketball. I thought I still had a lot to prove, because I was nothing last year.• Clearly, he has been quite something this season, and, according to his coach, could turn out to be something special. "He's not as good as he's going to be,• said Hirst, who is challenging Melum to be more consistent with his effort and his leadership. "When he plays hard, which ls the thing we're working on the most, he shows great inside power and a nice outside touch,• Hirst said. "Once he takes on the responsibility of being a leader 100% of the time, he's going to be really good." Melum is scoring most of his points inside, but Hirst is not afraid to move him to the perimeter, where most foresee him playing in college. •AB the season has progressed, he's shot more and more threes,• Hirst said. •And when teams put big guys on him, we like to switch him outside. He wouldn't be getting recruited by those kinds of schools, if he didn't show be had the skills to play on the perimeter.• ': ,,.
