Mathis Winklef' DAILY PILOT NEWPORT COAST -Debra Stich's Christmas present to her husband, Tom, should be fully grown by now. On Nov. 2, surgeons at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles removed part of her liver and used it to replace her husband's liver, which had been slowly destroyed by a genetic disease. Because the liver regen- erates itself witlun si.x to eight weeks, both have d fully func- tioning organ again. Suffering_ from a blocked bile duct, which didn't drain toxins from the liver, Tom Stich bad been told by his doctors that his case· ranked low on the candi- date list for liver donations. His situation would deteriorate grad- ually and e ventually lead to can- cer, they said. At that point, he'd no longer qucillfy for d transplan- t.allon. Football star Wdlter Payton also had primary sclerosing cholangitis, as the disease is known. He was taken off the liver waiting list dfter developmg can- cer and clied last year dt age 45.

On Friday morning, she and her classmates received a rare chance to experience the fun and magic of snow firsthand as they slid, plonked and frolicked in 20 tons of the white stuff, which was dumped on their playground by giant snow blowers.

I couldn't see what the picture was, but I could see that it was lovingly and lavishly covered in glitter and glue. So were her shoes. I stood there remembering when our daughters were that age, dressed like that and eager to show their glittery creations. I remembered talking to them about celebrat· ing Jesus' birthday. •Imagine if it was your birthday, and I took you out to lunch but ignored you. the whole time. What if I kept talking to people at tables around us, but never to you? How would you feeJr I asked our daughter Amy when she was about 5 years old. She laughed and said, "That would be silly, Mommy. That's not what birthdays are all about. Birthdays are all about the birth- day person.• I must have just been standing there star· ing into space but was quickly brought back to reality when a cute little boy ran past me holding two doughnuts and yelling some· thing to his sister. I looked up just as the trio disappeared behind a multitude of others mingling, drink- ing coffee and visiting with one another. It's been years since my daughters have given me gifts covered in glue and glitter. But the gift of God's son to all of us is one that is truly timeless. Let's not ignore the one whose birthday we will soon be celebrating. Birthdays are a time to honor and focus on the one whose birthday it ls. After all, that's what it's all about.

In the same way that former Dally Pilot editor Bill Lobdell would spend a Jate November column thanking people, I planned to call about a dozen locals, some notable and some not, and dSk them what they want for Christmas. At a staff meeting, I announced this idea lo my editor, making the commitment public knowledge. On my list were people such as Newport- Mesa Supt. Robert Barbot, Newport Beach City Man· dger Homer Bludau and BilJ Hamilton, world·famous restaurateur. But two people changed all that.

I'd also like more time to spend with my wile, Catherine -time lo go out on dates, time to go out and have dinner and see a movie. We've had very few date nights in the last six months or a year, and I'd like some time for some of those. I'd also like some more time to hang out and play football on the grass with my kids.

And I have noted in this space that the honor and pleasure of working earlier this year as a magd- zine editor for Dr. Lauld Schlessinger did not make up for the time I lost with my family.

Churches celebrating posada • Candlelight event stems from Latin American tradition but is increasingly reaching out to other cultures. Jennifer Kho DAILY PILOT COSTA MESA -With can- dlelight, bilingual prayers and traditional Spanish melodies, churchgoers on Friday com- memorated the journey of Mary and Joseph into Bethlehem. 1\vo churches, St. Joachim Catholic Church and St. John the Baptist Catholic Church, had posadas that included a procession reenacting Mary and Joseph's struggle to find lodging before Jesus was born. #Because of the birth of baby Jesus, the Virgin Mary was looking for a place to stay and nobody helped her until the end,• said Emilia Belmontes, a member of St Joachim Church. •That's wby we celebrate, sing and light candles. It's a tradition to remember what they went through." Both churches will end their nine-day posadas at 7 p.m. Sat- urday with special ceremonies that are open to the public. St. John the Baptist Catholic Church will have its Saturday posada at a church member's house at 716 Shalimar Drive, Apartment A. St. Joachim Church will begin its last posa- da of the year at 2159 State Ave. Gricelda Becerra, the family life coordinator for the Span- ish-speaking members of the church, said the Latin Ameri- can tradition has become mul- ticultural in Costa Mesa. #It is part of our tradition and religion, and we want to pass it on to our daughters and sons, as well as to share it with others,• she said. #It's a chance for us to remember bow Mary and Joseph suffered and to live that ti.me. In the past, some of us have invited people of other cultures who came because they were curious and then came again the next year. There is a sense of friendship, of celebrating with friends and family. Posadas are usually done as a neigh- borhood, with neigtibors shar- ing food, talking and celebrat- ing together.• ' ' . .

Briefly_ IN TllE NEWS Hearing scheduled for Crystal Cove A state hearing has been scheduled in January to update the public on devel- opment plans for Crystal Cove. At the meeting, ti:> be held Jan. 18, the state Department of Parks and Recreation will brief community members about the resort plan under consideration. San Francisco-based Pass- port Resorts has proposed a $35-million luxwy resort for the historic district, a plan environmental groups have lined up to oppose. Passport, which formed Crystal Cove Preservation Partners to build the resort, signed a contract with the state in 1996 to oversee the construction and operation of the project. The district's 46 cottages. placed on the National Regis- ter of Historic Places in 1979, would be renovated as a part of any plan. Passport must get approval from state parks and the Cal- ifornia Coastal Corruruss1on before the resort may go for- ward. No decision will be made at the Jan. 18 meeting. Parks department offidals probably will vote on the plan m the spring. The informational meeting will be held at 7 p.m. at Lin- coln Elementary Schoot 31 O I Pacific View Drive, Corona del Mar. -Paul Clinton SABATINO'S ROSEY'S AUTOBODY .,...,Jlfl••-~....._You Have the Right to Choose Your Repair Facility nslst on the Best Lifetime Warranty Lunch • Dinner • Sunday Brunch 251 Shipyard Way • Newport Beach Please call for hours, directions & reservations.

Most of the artists haven't painted before the disease, and many of them no longer have the ability to communicate with words. The calendar comes with 13 color paintings and a story about each artist. The Memories in the Mak- ing art program started in 1986, when the daughter of an Alzheimer's patient dis- covered patients could reveal a part of themselves through art. The art pro- gram turned into a calen- dar, and there are art exhibits as well. It's quickly becoming a nationwide program. Calendars are $14.

Doily Pilot Saturday, December 23, 2000 A 7 By land or sea, lights are magical part of the season W hen I was growing up, one of my favorite parts of the holiday season was to go on a night cruise to see Christmas lights. I remem- ber getting bathed and dressed in wann flannel pajamas and fuzzy slippers, golng ln the family station wagon (a Caprice Classic with fake wood paneling and very vinyl seats) and cruising to see tights on Christmas Eve. .Riverside has an entirely different lighting agenda. There isn't any water, but there was a lot of history. The Mission Inn was always beautifully IJt with intricate angels and their trumpets coming out of the turrets. The old Victorian homes neaI the base of Mt. Rubidoux always put on d beautiful light display, showing off their detailed roof lines and enormous trees. Many more orange groves stood dlong Victorid Avenue back then, and many of the trees lining the street were adorned with lights So, now I'm all grown up with a family of my own. And 1 sWI bke to cruise to see lights. Newport Bec1ch may not have the Mission Koren Wight NO PLACE LIKE HOME Inn, but R1vers1de didn't have a harbor. I think I made a good trade off. The Newport Harbor Christmas Boat Parade is a feast for the eyes, and il you haven't taken 1t in yet, tonight is your last opportunity. If you're lucky, you can get a seat m a warm restaurant to enjoy the view or get bun- dled up and enjoy the parade from many public vantage points along the water or get your beach chdir out and camp at the parks on the bluff that over- look the harbor. Roger's Gardens offers another wonderful opportu- mty to en1oy beautiful lights dnd mdg1cal ambience.

Put some in the frontyard so the house is easy for Santa to find. • Prepare as much food ahead of time as possi- ble. The cook should be able to enjoy the festivi- ties too. • Have a couple of trash bags handy for wrapping paper and diKarded box- es. Make cleanup fast and simple. • Give yourself a day off sometime soon. You deserve it.

Mlllly young people can't imagine why anyone would want 10 buy a house. They think that lhc down payment and the mongagc payments make owning a house seem so much more costly than renting.

Federal and stale income lax deduction~ on lhc loan inleresl and 1he propcny mes. however. will reduce your monthly housina costs 10 approximattly what you would be paying in rcnl.

"I feel as if this liver disease part is histoiy, • said Tom. who worked as a human resources executive before he became ill. "I felt better in that regard within two days of surgery."

Artist Mia Tavonatti's moniker is not like Mia Farrow's. Rather, it is pronounced "Maya." There ls nothing ordinary about this Newport Beach artist or her work. Need proof? Just take a walk by Newport Elementary School on Balboa Island and look at the mosaic murals Mia and her younger sister, Tara, Jennifer Mahal IN 111E WINGS installed there last month. Not interesting enough? Go to Mia's studio just down the road and take time to study her paintings. •My more personal works tend to involve places I travel to,· said Mia, 36. On the back wall hangs a temple-shaped piece with Greek silver prayer tokens hanging on it'. At the top is a mother and child, reminis- cent of the Madonna. The models were a gypsy woman and her child, whom Mia photographed during one of her trips lo Greece. The piece is titled "Token Prayer.• "That's my roadside shrine,. she srud. Another work, called "Balance,• shows a Balinese exorcism ritual involving the monkey god and a battle between good and evil. "I've always liked the inti· macy of intertwining fig- ures,· said Mia, who is a pro- fessor at the Art Institute of Laguna. Art was part of Mia's world from childhood on. He r father taught art and, with her mother, ran an art supply store in Northern Michigan. One would think that would make it easier for Mia, the third of four children, to follow art as a profession, but that was not the case. ·1 remember when I was a freshman, my counselor told me, 'Take French, don't take art. It will be better for you in the long run.'· She didn't listen. As a sophomore she started taking art classes and soon was tak- ing art as an independent study course because she was so advanced. It had its price. "I figured out soon that being the best artist in the school was a way to keep alone,· Mia said. She also excelled at math, breaking the artist stereotype by taking advanced math SEE WINGS PAGE A 14 Cast members perform a scene from the rock opera "Rent. .. which will open Tuesdaf"Bt lhe Center. Young Chang DAILY PILOT here's a name for these people. The ones who follow the musical "Rent" through cities and states. The ones who know all the songs by heart and maybe even the script. They're called "Rent- heads" or "Rent·groupies, • according to the show's cast members. And they haven't gone away since the show first appeared on stage almost five years ago. Fans and actors can under- stand why. Thomas lrwin, a third·year student at Orange Coast Col· lege who will see "Rent• at the Orange County Perform- ing Arts Center next week for his fourth time, does not con- sider himsell a Rent-head. But he feels the sentiment. "I can understand bow a teenager or a young person would want to follow some· thing or grasp onto something that's going on,• Irwin said. "Especially 'Rent' that is so educational and moving. You get so much out of it. It's real life, it's not just a show.• The Tony Award and Pulitzer Prize-winning musi- cal by composer, lyricist and librettist Jonathan Larson tells the story of struggling artists in New York's East Village. They grapple with situations like AIDS, drug-use, homo- sexuality and homelessness as the story communicates messages about love and loy- alty. The story behind the cre- ation of the musical is just as compelling. Larson died of an aortic anewysm on the day the show opened in January 1996. The original cast, in a grieving state, started that night with just a sing· through. But the theater spirit and memory of Larson took over unexpectediy. Emotions and tears charged what turned out to be a full-blown performance. Since tben, the rock opera, as cast members call it, has traveled around the world SEE RENT PAGE A14 Almost five years after its opening, the rock opera continues to draw a large crowd of followers, the latest of which will be at the Center in Costa Mesa WOOtare~~: ,. doing New Yea(s Eve?

For the Persian in you, the Sutton Place Hotel in New- port Beach will bold a French and Persian cuisine buff et at the Accents Atrium Restau· rant, including cocktails, a midnight champagne toast and entertainment by Mor- texa, a traditional Persian music band. •We had demands for it,• said Barbara Eidson, director of public relations at the hotel. "We had done a nwn· ber of Persian weddings here and Persian events, and maybe because it's reminis- cent of the ambience of Europe.· . Eidson expects a lively crowd at this gathering. The more mellow revelers will probably be in the hotel's dining room enjoying a five- cowse meal with a midnight champagne toast and jazz music by the Gerard Barbut nio. About 80 to 100 people are expected to fill the room. "That's for people who don't want all of the loud noise of the other two areas,· Eidson said. Finally, a four·course meal in the Deauville Ballroom will feature a Maine lobster "martini,• Atlantic salmon and fi1et mignon with mush- rooms, premium wines and a champagne toast. Gerald Ishibashi and his lO·piece Stonebridge band will enter· 1 lain. "They're so lively and just.' get everybody involved in dancing and singing,• Eid· son said. "It's a fun evenl" Costs and times vary for each event at the Sutton Place Hotel.

Upon moving to the Bay area, Mia took a job drafting for a com- pany called PM California. Making good money, she decided not to leave the job for school. A year and half later, she moved to Southern Cal.ilomia to work for an engineering firm in Irvine. She has lived in Newport- Mesa for 14 years. After attending Orange Coast College for a while, she went to Cal State Long Beach. There, she earned her bachelor's (in 1991) and mas- ter's degrees (in 1996) in illustration. It was while getting her bachelor's degree that Mia started traveling. One of her semesters was spent in Paris. While there, she took time to tour through Europe. visiting the former Soviet Uruon and Spam. She started working as a freelance illustrator while working on her master's degree. Her work has appeared ID magazmes and books. Mia has done three books for a "How to Draw· sen es. One on drawing villains and superheroes. one on paint- ing sea life in oil and one on drawing cats.

In what was totally under-billed as a non- league girls water polo game, Newport Harbor senior captain Enn Ball scored on a rebound shot to beat the game-ending buzzer Friday as Coach Bill Barnett's Sailors eked out an 8-7 vic- tory over host Corona del Mar. "That play was right off the drawing board,"Bamett quipped with a chuckle, alter a wild finish. On the final series, CdM sophomore stand- out Christina Hewko deflected a shot attempt by Harbor's Jenna Booth, then following a scramble to the loose ball, Ball picked it up and fired irl the rebound from about four meters.
