Bechler spoke of killing, buddy says I • Accused murderer discussed throwing bis wife into the ocean three months before she disappeared, witness testifies. Deepa BINlrath DAILY PILOT SANTA ANA -Accused murderer Eric Bechler talked about dumping his wife's body into the ocean three months before she disap- peared, the best man to his wedding testified Thursday. . Acting as a witness for the prosecution, Kobi Laker said Bechler had told him he was think- ing about •taking her out to sea and dumping her in the ocean.• Bechler, 33, has been charged with killing his 38-yem--old wife, Pegye. during their boat- ing trip on July 6, 1997, an excursion Bechler planned as a surprtse for their fifth wedding anniversary. Although p~lors accuse him of mur- dering his wife to get $2.5 million in life insur- ance, the Newport Beach man has pleaded not guilty, saying she was pushed into the ocean by a wave when she was driving a speedboat and towing him on a bodyboard. Laker, who was Eric Bechler's best man when he married Pegye on the sands of New- port Beach, choked as he recalled his friend's words one afternoon in March 1997 as they relaxed after their usual game of volleyball. "He just asked me point blank, 'What do you think about the possibility of killing my wife.'• Laker said. ·1 was shocked and asked him 'Are you serious? Have things gotten that bad?'" Laker said Bechler dearly discussed a plan, telling him that he was thinking of stuffing Pegye in a barrel and dumping her in the ocean. "I asked him 'Ir this happens, you're going to get a lot of heat, can you take that?' and he said 'yes," Laker said. "I asked him, 'Are you going to be able to act like a distraught, bereaving husband,· and he said, 'yes.·· Laker told his friend he didn't want to hear about the idea ever again. They never spoke about it again. Laker also said Bechler had been complain- ing about his wife as early as a year before she disappeared, calling her "obsessed, selfish, manipulative and controlling." "Eric told me 'I can't stand this any more.'" Laker said. •He said 'I have to get out of this, get away from her.'" On another occasion, Laker testified, Bechler had also mentioned his plan to videotape his SEE BECHLER PAGE 13 Lights could go out at any time in_ Newport-Mesa • State's power crisis poised to hit home; traffic may be most affected, official says.

Dolly Pilot CHECK IT OUT No silent nights with Freddy Cole counts his blessings and cues his music this holiday music Young Chang DAILY PILOT Freddy Cole picked up the phone from the Keio Plaza Hotel in Tokyo this week and said, "Moshi Moshll" He admitted to knowing only a couple of words in Japanese, "hel- lo" being one of them. But he loves traveling and performing all over the world, especially because the jazz baritone and pianist, who is 69, is anything but quieting down. The success of his second newest album-"Merry-Go- Round, • released in May -fea- tures the tune "Watching You, Watching Me.• CQJ.e considers trus his best-known title today, aside from an older tune called •I Loved You.• His credits include more than 10 albums and a professional career that started even before rus teenage years. He will perform at the Orange County Performing Arts Center's Jazz Club this weekend. "I'm satisfied,• Cole said. "You keep your expectations high but you live day to day, and I consider myself an extremely lucky person. I'm blessed that I got the blessing of many people.• Among these people are such jazz legends as Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Llonel Hampton and the musicians who influenced him while he studied at the Juilliard School of Music -John Lewis, Oscar Peterson and Teddy Wilson. And, of course, there's the family. His brother, the late Nat "King" Cole, reached legendary stardom. His niece, Natalie Cole, continued the Cole legacy. Freddy Cole is probably the third-most famous Cole. But he answered, as he prob- ably has for countless reporters, that he is not his brother's shadow. "If you walk around and live in the shadow and clouds, your mind stays that way,· Freddy Cole said. "But my mind has never been warped." He has a sister and two other brothers. He loves them all equally, and none more or less than he did Nat Cole. "I loved and respected my broth- er, but I'm not my brother, I'm me,• he said. While the Cole family was musi- cal and both Freddy and Nat Cole followed in the tradition, the two Jazz baritone and pianist Freddy Cole wUI perform at the Orange County Performing Arts Center's Jazz Club tonight and Saturday.

"Nat was more of a showman who was interested in entertain- ing, tt she said. "Freddy is also a good entertainer, but he:s more interested in social commentary and speaking to the times.• Borgers appreciates the diversity of Freddy Cole's music. •He has a wide range of songs that go back to things like 'Am I Blue' to things as topical as 'Broth- er, Where Are You?'" she said. His songs speak to every kind of person, she added. In 1991, Freddy Cole released an album titled "I'm Not My Brother, I'm Me.• It includes a Nat Cole medley with tunes from "Straighten Up and Fly Right,• "L.0.V.E., • "Mona Llsa, • "Unforgettable,· ·sweet Lorraine" and "Nature Boy." He experienced international fame in the mid-1970s with a series of European recordings. The album "One More Love Song• sold at least 500,000 copies in Brazil. He played in clubs throughout the 1980s and started recording a slew of albums later that decade. He loves jazz and be loves per- forming. It's his life, his soul, and it's a hard connection to explain. "You're a changed person once you get on the bandstand,• Cole said. t BRIEFLY IN DATEIOOK I s Uent Night" may be the title of a beloved holiday mel~y. but it hardly describes the preferred ambience for mhny seasonal revelrles.

POLICE FILES Doily Pilot Friday, December 15, 2000 3 It's the holiday season again, and it's only going to get crazier T his is it. Hang on tight. Better yet, lash your- seU to the nearest pine tree with some garland. The winds of festivity are reach- ing hurricane force. Decora- tions, lights, gifts, parties - swirling around us from every direction. We have reached the core of the holi- day vortex, the eye of the yuletide storm. We do have some new _wrinkles this year, thoµgh. Lights are something of an issue. At Mariners Elemen- tary School, we had a brief outbreak of political correct- ness -an annual tradition in itself -over some lights placed around the outside of the school by pare nt volun- teers. Little did I .know lights were denominational. Hear me well on this, Cratchit. Obviously, lights clearly favor one religious prefer- ence. A few lights today and before long, kids will be call- ing Hanukkah the Festival of Lights, for heaven's sake. Then there is the sudde n and mysterious powe r crunch. Anyone understand it by the way? No one r know. Until a few months ago, we were powered up and ready to go as always. Now, apparently, we rank just above Zunbabwe in electrical power, and we're supposed to feel gwlty about Chrisbnas llghts l don't get it Jt is all too reminiscent of the dredded Y2K "cnsis. • Been dwhile since you Put a few words to work for you. Call the Daily Pilot Peter Buffa COMMENTS. & CURIOSl11ES • heard that phrase, ~n't it? Speaking of Y2K, a few peo- ple are trying to generate some excitement about the fact that this Jan. 1, not the last one, is the real start of the millennium. Please, just shoot me. Everyone knows that by now, but most of us would rather have a root canal without Novocain than go through that again. Finally, from the lighting department, a brief tip of the holiday hat to a house on Country Club Drive in Costa Mesa. I don't know who you are, but you do, so please step forward and take a bow if you happen to read this. Every once in a while, some- thing new in outdoor decora- tions comes along, such as the now-ubiquitous icicle lights that showed up a few years ago. The house in question has a number or very tall palm trees, front and back. The owners have somehow managed to place a few lights at the very top or each palm tree, but I have no - f:1 1 -~ • [i' ~~---" lit ' idea how -two trees last year, and about five this year. You can see them for blocks and blocks, and the net effect is something like a handful of highflying circus balloons, glowing bright red and ~een and blue against the night sky. It's a happy, slightly wacky sight that demands a smile when you see it, and one which I pre- dict we'll see more and more in the years to come. Holiday parties are also changing with the times, I think. Do you agree? I knew that you would. These days, the key word seems to be down.sizing. Smaller gather- ings, closer friends, simpler offerings. When we first arrived in Newport-Mesa land, progressive dinners - and we're not talking about politics -were a big deal, especially around the holi- days. It was progressive because you went to this house for hors d'oeuvres, then that house for the main . course, then another house for dessert, et cetera. There was ari abWldance. of beverages at every house, however. I suspect the popularity of progressive dinners dropped as the concern over drinking and driving rose. The other oddity about big holiday par- ties was the •party people.· We all have them in our lives. Party people only exist at holiday parties. We catch up on each other's lives somewhere between the Party Baskets Fruit Baskets ommitted to making your holidays special with the rmest selections of wine, im~rted cheeses and caviar in Orange County. guacamole and the bruschet- ta, and that's it. Done. Over. See you next year. What happens to the party people from December to Decem- ber? Do they get stored in the garage with the other ornaments? No one knows. The office party, another venerable holiday institution, has also become more sub- dued. The overall quality ha5 improved significantly, and the incidence of lamp shade- wearing has fallen dramati- cally. The days whe n six or eight glasses of champagne punch convinced the pamiul- ly shy woman from account- ing to climb atop the confer- ence table and do her uruta- tion of Madonna and "Mate- rial Girl" are, mercifully, over. A lot or office pdrtle!> have a charity twist now - "everybody bring two can!> of food,· etc. -which u. a good thing. Boat parade pcUties dre tun. There is the bullt-m entertainment of the boat parade, and r like the mter· action between the bodl peo- ple and the shore people Whatever team you're on. you shout at them, thry shout a t you, no one under- stands a word, everyone smiles and waves. Then there's the endless game of guessing how much the redl- ly big boats cost (·I hctve no idea•) and whether they did the decorating themselves or }lad someone do it (•Some- one d1d 1t • ). You have to cheer for the little boats, though, some of which look like more beer was involved than lights. And that just leaves the perennial question of New Year's Eve. Stay home or go out, go out or stay borne? One never knows. If you go out, should you go to a party or do the restaurant thing? If you stay home, should you throw your own party. just invite a few close friends over, or go it alone. The nsk there, of course, is slipping mto a recliner-induced comet and nussing the whole thmg, only to wake up at HOLIDAY WISHES 1:25 a .m . dwmg some mfomercictl for Victoria Prin- cipal's skin care system. Of course, as a former New Yorker, I don't believe it's the New Year unless I see the ball come down with my own eyes, even if I am. · watclung something that happened three hours ago. Let's not get bogged down in details. So there you have it, the holiday waltz.

General Motors Corp. announced Tuesday it will dis- continue the Oldsmobile brand. Although the Nabers dealer- ship may experience reduced sales because of the decision, the main loss will be the car itself, dealership officials said "We're sad to see (the Oldsmobile) go," said Paul Schuster, general manager for the dealership, which opened in 1967.

Education~ centers get piece of tobacco cash •Nearly $500,000 is on its way to Newport Beach, Costa Mesa for early childhood programs. "At first I was very surprised because we are such a small organization. I was shocked. Now it's going lan.tastically -lite couldn't be better. I'm just thrilled for these children and their families. " Danette Goulet DAILY PILOT NEWPORT-MESA A chunk of the extra cash that smokers have been doling out for two years Is finally making its way to families here. The latest round of fund- ing from Proposition 10, the 1998 initiative that collects money for early childhood development programs across the state, awarded a grant to an organization in Newport Beach and one in Costa Mesa. Combined, the money totals nearly $500,000. The initiative placed a 50- cent-per-pack ~ on ciga- rettes and other tobacco products to fund child-care and anti-tobacco programs for children up to age 5. The Children and Families Commission of Orange Cowi- ty, which controls the local revenues, this month funded 44 grants in the county total- ing more than $17 million, including the two within New- port Beach and Costa Mesa, said Heidi Hauff, spokes- woman for the commission. In Costa Mesa, the Jewish Community Center received $300,000 to fund a special preschool project, something the group had already been striving to create on a smaller scale. •At first I was very sur- prised because we are such a small organization. I was shocked,• said Jan Weiner, the program coordinator. •Now it's going fantastically -life couldn't be better. I'm just thrilled for these children and their families.• The program is designed to identify children with addi- tional or speci41 needs and either bring them up to speed before kindetgarten or ensure that they can function in a· regular kindergarten class, Weiner said. "Overall it's meant to pro- mote acceptance of everyone as equal from childhood to adulthood, making sure chil- dren with special needs have as normal a preschool experi- ence as possible,· said Steven Jacobs, director of early childhood education at the center. In Newport Beach, the Assessment and Treatment Servi~ Center, a nonprofit family counseling cente.r, was awarded $168,895 to begin offering new parenting pro- grams to parents of preschool-age children. The course, Systematic "Il'aining for Effective Parent- ing, commonly known as the STEP program, will be held 10 times a year, with seven being offered in English and three in Spanish, said Melin- da Giunaldo, the cente(s executive director. The class will teach the parents of children 3 to 5 bow to widerstand their children in a general sense and their children's behavior, she said. It will also teach parents how to build self-esteem in children in the early years of development and bow to communicate with young children, she added. •we'll teach parents how to teach children to cooperate and effective discipline meth- ods,• Giunaldo said. •And teach parents bow to nurture social and emotional develop- ment in a yowig child.· The Spanish version of the class will include all of these elements, Giunaldo said, but it will also focus on helping -Jan Welner, special preschool program coordinator at Costa Mesa Jewish Community Center parents deal with cultural dif- ferences and what their role as a parent is in this society. The courses will be held in a new office the Newport Beach-based coWlSeling cen- ter will open in Orange thanks to the grant money. The Newport-Mesa Uni- fied School District also will receive funding from the ini- tiative. In an earlier round of funding, the Newport-Mesa was one of 25 school districts in the cowity that was eligible for an $85,000 grant to create a two-year program to pre- pare preschoolers for kinder- garten. The school boa.rd approved the grant agree- ment Tuesday to accept the $85,000. This $17 million in grant funding was just beginning for Orange County this year, Hauff said . There is another $20.5 mil- lion earmarked for programs in the cowity within the next year, she said. The commis- sion plans to announce another round of grant recipi- ents Wednesday, she added.

Money had been tight for a while at the Goodmans' home in West Newport's Seacliffe Mobile Park. Then Chad injured his back, and the couple's income no longer covered the $885 monthly rent. A three-day eviction notice followed, and the Goodmans finally decid· ed to go looking for help. The organization they turned to was Friends in Ser- vice to Humanity, or F.I.S.H., a nonprofit Newport Beach- based group that helps needy people to get back on their feet. •Catching people before they become homeless• is P.l.S.H.'s motto.

While most clients still come from Costa Mesa's poorer neighborhoods, P.l.S.H also helps Newport Beach residents, who often try to hide financial problems from their affluent neighbors.

On one of the door panels was Kaely's own Christmas draw- ings taped to the glass -a Santa Claus, a candy stick and a sign that reads: "Sant.a stop here.• Sitting down on the dining room table, O'Connor and the couple began to figure out how much money the family would need to get by. There were the monthly rent payments and utilities. The Goodmans said they didn't go out much, maybe just for fast food on spedal- offer days. Chad Goodman said he knew his pack-a-day smoking habit cut into their wallets. Apart from rent, food and credit card payments, the couple said they spent little money and still fell $500 to $600 short every month. But O'Connor had good news. "By the way, you have been adopted for Christ- mas,• she said.

Chad would need to find a steady job when his injuries healed, and Sarah would have to go back to school and get a general equivalency diplo- ma, as well as take on some extra baby-sitting work. The Goodmans agreed, adding after O'Connor had left that the organization's offer was just what they had needed. •This is just more like a little cushion for people who have current problems," Sarah said. "Which ls us." "It's totally saving us," Chad added. A day later, O'Connor seemed pleased with what the couple had done to meet P.l.S.H.'s requirementl for help.

And, if the forecast of tempera- tures in the 70s holds up with slight ocean breezes along the coast, local Pelican Hill fits the bill for this one • Television producer Jastrow has been a believer since Fazio, Pelican Hill's architect, introduced him to the Newport Coast.

Jastrow, former president of Jack Nicklaus Productions, which was purchased this year by Gaylord Entertainment, is a winner of seven Emmy Awards, having produced some of the most popular events in golf, including the relaunch of Shell's Wonderful World of Golf. But the creme de la creme of goU's postseason, Jastrow felt, was the two-player Ryder Cup format of the former Diners Club Matches. DOW the Hywidai Team Matches. And the perfect setting was Pelican Hill, which Jastrow called last year •Southern California's version of Pebble Beach.• And, now, after a title sponsorship change and one year under his belt at Newport Coast, Jastrow is convinced the "three- ring circus· is here to stay with the PGA Tour, Senior PGA Tour and LPGA Tour. Whether it's called a "silly sea- son• event (by some in the media) or a ·second season• event (Jastrow and other producers), the Hyundai Team Matches is "healthy and well,• Jastrow said Thursday in an exclusive interview, before leaving for his Santa Monica office.

As all three of the major tours convene at Pelican Hill for the absolute final competition of the 2000 professional golf campaign, there should ~ high drama in the three separate tournaments within a tournament. "Imagine those matchups on Sat- urday. Can you see Jack Nicklaus and Tom Watson going up against Gary McCord and John Jacobs (from the Senior PGA Tour)?" Teny Jastrow, the event's producer, said Thursday. In addition, Dana Quigley and Allen Doyle will face Bruce Fleisher and David Graham in the other Senior Tour match, a two-man Ryder Cup format (a.k.a . better TEAM MATCHES ball). The total purse of $1.2 million will be equally divided among the differ- ent fields, with each winning team collecting $200,000. Today's pro-am begins at 9 a.m., followed by the Hyundai Team Matches first round (or semifinals) on Saturday at 9 a.m. The winners play Sunday at 9 a .m. From the PGA Tour, defending champions Fred Couples and Mark Calcavecchia will face Jean Van de Velde and Steve Flesch in the first round, while Phil Mickelson and Rocco Mediate will play Tom Lehman and Duffy Waldorf. From the LPGA Tour, defending champions Juli Inkster and Dottie Pepper will face Grace Park and Kelli Kuehne, while top headliner Annika Sorenstam and Lori Kane will play Meg Mallon and Beth Daniel. Nicklaus and Watson are the biggest draw against any team, but the local lore created by McCord and Jacobs in the 1999 Toshiba Senior Classic at Newport Beach Country Club will no doubt make them a gallery favorite, as well. No two pros joke around more than McCord and Jacobs, who are good buddies and golfing partners, as well as neighbors in Scottsdale, Ariz .• and in their prime (in their 50s!) as free spirits.
