On the top of his to-do list this year, McGuire included seeing Ensign become a Califorrua Distinguished School.

How are you today?" over the past 11 years, Car- ol Porth has asked that question thousands of times. While the names might vary, the concept stays the same. As a volunteer at the Oasis Senior Center in Newport Beach, Porth calls elderly residents every Thursday to check on them and make sure they're fine. "lf I call somebody and they sound depressed or blue. then I make a note and Vlklci [Chin, a social services coordinator,) calls them,-Porth, 86, said during a brief break between calls. Porth logs all calls in a folder, which includes files for 14 seniors. If she talks to the person on the phone, she marks off the day and writes down some comments about the con- versation. The people she doesn't catch on the first try are called again later. While Porth has talked to some of the seniors on the phone for more than a decade. she's never met any of them in person.

Standing in the kiU:ben of an Orange County com- munity service center one recent night, Nelson bad fallen silent. At this moment, his heart was winning. Which is why Nelson is a man I've grown to respect and love as a brother in the few short months I've known him, and even more so after this night. Here's a guy with a burlap demearror, an alliga-. tor hide, but less so these days. And it's that gruff exte- rior -a fortress cobbled from years of personal pain -that's shielded a. genuine- ly tender heart for most of his life. But like me and a bunch of other guys he hangs out with some Satur- day mornings, he's figured out that the stoic male dude he's been pretending to be for as long as he can remem- ber just isn't working any- more. So there in the kitchen we stood, gazing through the se.rvice window at a sea of roughly 250 women and their children who were cel- ebrating, together, one pre- cious silent night this holi- day season -a little peace on Earth. And as Nelson watched the mothers and their children laugh, his eyes filled with sympathy and sadness, which gave away the ache in his heart. Is this the way men are supposed to feel? To see the look on Nel- son's face, I knew the answer. • U only their men had had Nelson's heart,· I thought. ·Tuese women wouldn't be here.• For each of these women and their children were, at one time, the casualties of men so drenched in anger and testosterone and cow- ardice that they would bruise and cut the flesh of Byron de Arokol BETWEEN THE LINES these wives and girlfriends with a slap or a backhand or a fist. And very likely, say the statistics, these men inflicted the same upon their children. So what else were these ladies to do but gather up their precious children, Dee their homes and seek refuge in the transitional shelter that helps sponsor this annual holiday feast where all is calm and all is bright? "There's so many of them," NJlson quietly uttered, his face painted with some despair. "It's tragic.• Nelson ano I and the rest of the guys had gathered this night to do for these women and children what those oth- er men never did. Honor and serve them, though we knew none of them. We carved a half-dozen hams and turkeys. We served great mounds of stuffing and niashed potatoes. We spooned out cranberry sauce and ladled hot gravy. We topped wedges of pumpkin and apple pie with whipped cream to the delight of the youngsters, who have known more terror than tranquillity from the men than once ruled their lives.

WWW.DAILYPILOT.COM An army of young girls from a local volunteer group move<l about the tables, pouring beverages and dearing plates. And the music was festive and the laughter loud and the hugs among fellow victims abun- dant. The gaiety reminded me of what Scrooge must have seen -in the company of the Ghost of Christmas Past -as he looked over old Mr. Fezziwig's Chrisbnas party. Tonight these women were important and worthy. Their very existence was honored by strangers, rather than rued by their partners. Their spirits -too often crushed by cowards -were fed by a group of men with soft hearts. Their bodies - too often pummeled by vio- lent hands -were nour- ished by food served by car- ing hands. And for this small band of gu~. on this night, it was understood what being a man really means. Let's not pretend this doesn't happen in our twin cities, in the land of easy liv- ing. He knows who he is. And I know he's out there somewhere in Newport Beach. In Costa Mesa. He's one of those men who, according to the U.S. Justice Department's Bureau of Justice Statistics, inflicted one if not more of the esti- mated 876,340 incidents of domestic violence against women in this country in 1998, the latest year for which there are statistics. He is controlling. Manipu- lative. Jealous. Angry. Hurt. And very likely.this holiday season he'll raise a hand and strike his wife, his girlfriend or his child, taking from them their peace, their silent night. With him around, nothing is ~alm and nothing is bright. And in his utter sense of powerlessness, he does what only the powerless can do. Brutalize that which is weaker. Cowardly is tQO mild an adjective to describe it. Neanderthal is better. The tragedy is that it could tum out to be a pretty good holi- day for him. That's because the same U.S. Justice Department statistics say only 59% of domestic abuse · victims report the assaults against them. But maybe not this timei l hope not this time. Just maybe the woman in his life will give herself the gift of a silent night where all is calm. Just maybe she'll muster the courage to call the police and have him cuffed. Or perhaps she'll just leave. And how wonderful it would be if, unbeknownst to me, I had the privilege to serve her a holiday meal next year. Sleep in heavenly peace. Sleep in heavenly peace. • BYRON DE ARAKAL is a writer and communications consultant. He lives in Costa Mesa. Readers can reach him with news tips and comments via e-mail at byronwriterOmsn.com.

Back then, Vitarelli stood at the bebn of his k.ayaldng career and the ferry still led the parade. "The Harbor Patrol is an excellent police facility," he said, adding that as tbe leading ship, the patrol boat's sirens and blinking lights dampen the. festive atmosphere of the parade. "We don't mind him pad- dling," Peoples said. "But he wanted to get so close to the lead ~t that he is now imped- ing the entire parade.~ Peoples added that while his officers had not stopped or arrested Vitarelli Sunday. they had paid "special .notice to blln." •tt we have to pay more attention to where he's at.than us running a safe parade, then he's in trouble again," Peoples said. Still, Vitarelli said he'll keep participating in the event. "My response is, 'I don't need you to know where I am,'" he said. "I know where you are." An independent filmmaker who worked on the raft camera crew for the movie "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom," Vitarelli said he knows how to stay out of danger and paddle in the parade without getting in the way. · The parade, incidentally, is no longer what it used to be, be added. The event, in its 92nd year, now draws about a million people to Newport Beach. Vltarelli said in the late 1960s included a substantially small- er park among other~. was also brushed off by Newport Beach officials who said it would never get off the ground. ln its plan, Irvine has splin- te red from other So uth County anti-airport factions -including the El Toro Reuse Planning Authority - which has stuck to the Millennium Plan. In the late st non-airport alternative , Irvine proposes annexing El Toro -that city filed its application with the county in February 1999 -as a first step toward halting plans "They do fabulous rescues, ff . he said. "But they shouldn't be leading a Christmas parade." Parade officials said a grow- ing number of private boats on the harbor during. the parade has made it necessary to have Harbor Patrol officers lead the line of ships. "Many of the spectator boats are not familiar with the parade route, ff said Richard Luehrs, the president and chief execu- tive of the Newport Harbor Area Chamber of Commerce; which organizes the parade. "They camp themselves right in the middle of it, ff Luehrs said. "Having the Harbor Patrol lead the parade to clear the way is obviously important. This isn't Colorado Boulevard here. This is an open harbor." Luehrs added that Vttarelli is welcome to share his concerns with the chamber at the arinu- al wrap-up meeting, which will take place after the parade ends Saturday. Vitarelli said he'll gladly take the opportunity. to build the airport. County· planners are mov- ing forward with the airport after a Los Angeles County Superior Court judge on Dec. 1 struck down Measure F,' which would have required a two-thirds countywide voter approval for the project.

From the South County perspective, CdM would make a fuss, since it worked so hard to leave the Sea View for the PCL the last time around and would prefer to remain there. And, leaving emerging powerhouse Northwood and University (2,300-plus enrollment) in a PCL that no longer included CdM, would give both a license to domi- nate.

CdM's girls programs have won 10 of 14 league titles contested, with three second-place finishes thrown in. Costa Mesa and Estancia would surely rather take their chances against the lfojans and 11mberwolves than continue to challenge the Sea Kings' throne.
