2000
• EDITOlt'S NOTE: From the school bond
to the Greenlight vote. from the trial of
Steve Allen Abrams to the spills that plague
the harbor and beaches, this year didn't dis·
appoint.
Sure, it didn't start off with the Y21C bang
ewryone feared. but it wasn't lacking sus-
pense.
Would Ovis Steel succeed In his 10th run
for the Costa Mesa City Council? (And would
others succeed in overturning his victory?)
Would a jury. facing just about the
toughest decision a person can make, send
Steven Allen Abfams to Death Row for the
1999 murder of two children on a Costa
Mesa playground?
Could Newport's lifeguards handle one of
the busiest. most dangerous summers in years?
And would a young man. not yet a junior
at Newport Harbor High, stand tall in Sydney,
Australia. during the Summer Olympia?
2000 would tell us. ' DON LEACH I DAILY PILOT

Aboye, Mark
Schultheis sits near
a sidewalk crack
on the campus of
Costa Mesa's Davis
Elementary School.
Schultheis was one
of the community
leaders behind the
campaign for the
$110-milllon school
bond. At left, the rusty
drlnking fountain ts
one example of the
rundown condlttons
that will be improved
by the bond money.
A year when
voting mattered
1 SCHOOL BOND PASSES: In a year when
six school districts m Orange County
asked voters to tax themselves for the
benefit of the schools, Newport-Mesa suc-
ceeded where others failed.
Voters in the Newport-Mesa Unified
School District passed a $163-million school
bond in June to repair all 29 crumbling
schools.
It began more than four years ago. Teach-
ers, parents, principals -fed up with the con-
ditions of the schools -began talking about
the major overhaul they wanted to do to cam-
puses throughout t,he distnct.
When talk began, the nwnber on the tip of
everyone's tongue was $15 million. But that
didn't last long. One school board member
scoffed at the figure, predJcb.ng 1t would be
closer to $100 null.ion.
By the dawrung of the new nullenruum. the
$163-million figure had come to light. Every-
one knew there was only one way to get that
kind of money.
And so the campaign began in support of
what would later be known as Measure A.
It was recommended that the board put a
bond before voters asking for $110 milllon,
with the remaining $53 milllon coming from
the state in the form of matching funds.
Along with the endorsement of a general
obligation bond, a cibzens conuruttee sug-
gested the sale of two distnct-owned proper-
ties -Banning Ranch and Balearic Park -to
help pay for future upkeep.
But after an explosion of commuruty out·
rage over the possible sale of their neighbor-
hood park, residents around Balearic Park
won the school board's promise that the site
would \>e sold.only with the cond.ibon that 1t
remain a public park.
After a series of bve study sesSions that
delved into various key areas, such as the
specifics of an oversight committee, a mainte-
nance reserve and the type of tax to be
unposed. the school board voted to put a
$110-million school bond before voters.
The campaign committee then hit the
streets full force. They made phone calls rught
after rught and walked neighborhoods each
day.
On June 6, their efforts paid off when Mea-
sure A passed with 72% approval.
Since that day, the clamor has died down
and the next phase in the process has slowly
begun.

"The bedroom and bathroom are in

Investigators have concluded the
fire began in the bedroom where
Hagerty was sleeping but have not yet
determined how it started, Blauer said.
He said the fire did not spread to
other homes in the apartment triplex
because the roof did not have a com-

Kimberlee, who
plays Costa Mesa's
Borders this
weekend, says her
music is spiritually .
inspired
Young Chang
DAILY PILOT
Kimberlee, who just goes by the
one name, sings about things she
knows -loving people well, loving
them not so well, forgiving and hav-
ing a hard time with forgiveness.
The 32-year-old performer from
Bwbank is the first to admit she's not
a pro at loving and letting go. This is
tnle for most of us, she thinks. In her
opinion, people throw around, mis-
understand and misuse the word
·1ove" too often.
But she said one source -the
Bible -got it right.
•My favorite verse is I Corinthians
13, • Kimberlee said. •It's a passage, a
definition of love, and that's what
we're all craving. Love is patient, love
is kind, it is not proud. It perfectly
describes what we're all looking for.•
Her debut album, "Learning How
to Love,• refers often to spiritual
lessons such as "love your enemy·
and •1ove others as you love your-
seU. • Kimberlee will perform her
songs at Borders Books, Music &
Cafe in Costa Mesa on Satwday.
When asked if she is a Christian,
she hesitates.
•rm a struggling Christian,• Kim-
berlee said. •It's not easy to be a
Christian, but I've been inspired a lot
by the Scriptwe.•
The singer/songwriter has also
been inspired by almost every musi-
cal genre -rock, country, folk, blues
and R&B. Her musical influences
include Wynonna Judd, Aretha
Franklin, Stevie Ray Vaughan and
Chaka Kahn.
When it comes to her doset, social
consciousness inspires Kimberlee's
fashion sense. Recently, she went
shopping and bought a pair of red
leather-looking pants with a white
stripe down the side of each leg and
blue stars on the stripes.
•I'm kind of into this whole sym-
bol of freedom right now,· she said.
•1n comparison to other countries, we
have the ultimate freedom in terms
of 4 country.•
Klmberlee admires perf onner
Janis Joplin for her ·unbrid1ed ability
to communicate her heart.•
Her own goal is to communicate
the process of learning how to love.
And the message is for everyone, not
just for Christians.
"ln the Bible, Jesus came for
everybody,• Kimberlee said. "God is
for everyone, and it's not a classist or
separatist type of deal. It's not sup-
posed to be something that's market-
ed. It's just supposed to be something
that is.•
She compares herseli to such
artists as Peter Gabriel, Sarah
McLachlan and Jewel. They refer to
scriptwal principles through music,
without preaching a religion.
"There are just so many spirit-
conscious artists trying to make a dif-
ference with what they know in their
hearts, that what is right is right,•
Kimberlee said. ·1 just write about
what I live.•
That includes relationships -with
her husband, with family members
and with loved ones who have abused
and abandoned her in the past.

tbe right approach. She's lo the busi-
ness out of love for creating music.

said. "You know, it's refreshing to see

Will 2001 bring aliens to El Toro or a Soffer comeback? Man pleads not
guilty in attack
on female ·mend
S oon, it will be no more.
Y2K. The year that
arrived with such fan-
fare, however unwarranted,
is nearly done. Finished. No
mas. Basta. Kaput. Can you
believe it? Nor can I.
As years go, it was, um -
OK. I've seen better. I've
seen worse. We elected a
president, sort of. lWo scien-
. lists mapped the human
genome. which apparently
would be very exciting if we
only knew what a genome is.
Charles Schultz died, but
Peanuts lives on. Elian went
home, finally. We had the
requisite number of natural
and man-made disasters. All
in all, it was a house wine of
years. Be that as it may, it is
time, once again, for the
.Official New Year's Peter
Predictions.
Are you excited? 1 knew
you would be. But first, some
housekeeping.
As I write, and as you
read, I find myself in the city
of New York, formerly New
Amsterdam. We journeyed to
the Really Big Apple to cele-
brate Christmas, visit family,
etc., etc.
New York is the capitol of
Christmas and always fun for
the holidays. Rockefeller
Center, with its giant tree
perched above the ice rink,
the window displays at Saks
and Macy's, St. Patrick's all
dressed up for Christmas, a
dusting of snow in Central
Park and the hansom cabs
clip-clopping along. Very
lovely.
But I discovered some-
thing interesting on this trip
-something I have been
terribly wrong about for most
of my drab, mundane life.
Peter Buffo
COMMENTS & CURIOSITIES
didn't have to contend with
cold and wind and snow and
sleet, 1 would respond with
some glib, coodescending
answer about how "I really
don't mind cold weather, I
almost prefer it, I find it
invigorating, blah, blah,
blah."
What a load of you-know-
whatl What was I thinking?
Let me tell you, this was
weather that would have dri-
ven Admiral Byrd and Sir
Edmund Hillary back to their
base camps and into their
tents. An air temperature of
7 degrees and a wind chill of
13 below zero -which is
exactly how Christmas Eve
dawned -will cure your
appetite for cold weather
real fast. "Minus-13 • is what
scientists call •really, really
cold."
We "strolled" down Fifth
Avenue by darting from one
store to the next, which only
made things worse. Just
about the time the skin on
your face began to thaw out,
it was time to force yourself
back out into the cold. I've
seen pictures of soldiers on
the Eastern Front in World
War Il who didn't look quite
as miserable.
As everyone knows, the
cold is pot the problem. The
wind is the problem. You can
run, but you can't hide. It
will hunt you down and
make you whimper like a·
baby. So to all of you warm
weather lovers -I salute
you. You were right. I was
wrong. Now I know better.
Well, OK then. 2001. Just
what does it have in store for
us? Pay attention. This will
go fast.
The battle over El Toro
will end abruptly in Auglli;t,
when the Department of
Defense rescinds its decision
to turn over the base. Classi-
fied operations from Neva-
da's •Area 51, • including the
alien remains from the
Roswell crash, will be relo-
cated to El Toro, which will
be renamed •'Area 405."
South County cities will file a
suit against DOD, claiming
alien autopsies are not com-
patible with the Great Park
plan.
Pollutants along the coast
of Huntington Beach will be
traced to a Sichuan takeout
in La Habra.
South~m California Edi-
son and PG&E will go belly
up, the power industry will
be nationalized, and power
will be available from 11
a.m. to 3 p.m. only. Order,
and power, will be restored
_ when Edison agrees to apply
feng shui principles to its
offices and finds out their
desks are pointed the wrong
way.
. -
~~-. . ' . '
Additional dredging in the
Back Bay will unearth the
wreck of the Edmund
Fitzgerald.
On April 23 at 2:40 p.m., a
parking space will open up
in the small lot between
Neiman's and Bloomie's.
His Royal Highness Prince
William will relocate to New-
port Coast and marry a high-
profile Newport Beach
socialite 25 years his senior.
For 6 1/2 hours on June
13, there will be no construc-
tion on the Costa Mesa Free-
way. Construction at the
freeway's interchaiige with
the San Diego Freeway,
however, will suffer a major
setback when it's discovered
that two of the flyovers con-
nect only to each other, form-
ing a perfect circle.
In September, a Costa
Mesa nutritionist will shock
the nation with her book,
MBran: The Silent Killer."
And finally, Sid Soffer will
return to Costa Mesa, and he
will be cranky.
So there you have it. The
good, the bad and the
remotely possible. Are these
shadows of things that may
be, or that will be? Don't ask
me. You're on your own. l'm
still trying to warm up. Have
the happiest of new years.
I gotta go.

2 GREENUGHT FIG~ New-
port Beach's voters decid-
ed to take future growth into
their own bands this year
when 63.1 % of them voted
"yes• on the Greenlight ini-
tiative on Nov. 7.
Money-wise, the odds for
success had seemed bad for
Greenhght's supporters,
which included former coun-
cil members Evelyn Hart and
Jean Watt, as well as such
community activists as Phil
Arst, Allan Beek, Tom Hyans
and Elaine Unhoff.
An opposing initiative,
which proposed to add parts
of the city's traffic phasing
ordinance to the dty charter,
raised more than $400,000
and received support from
such developers as the Irvine
Co., which contrlbuted
$147,000. Greenllghters were
outspent 5 to 1.
But with grass-roots sup-
port from thousands of resi-
dents behind them. the ini-
tiative's proponents pre-
vailed.
From now on, projects
that require a general plan
amendment and add more
than 100 peak-hour car trips
or dwelling units, or 40,000
square feet to the plan's cur-
rent allowance must go
before a citywide vote.
While City Council mem-
bers had unanimously
opposed the initiative before
the election. arguing that
Greenligbt would bring
about "ballot-box" planning,
Newport Beach's elected
leaders vowed to honor the
will of the people after the
measure's overwhelming vic-
tory.
While pledging to work
with city officials to put
Greenlight to work, support·
ers such as activist Susan
Caustin said the initiative's
success should show govern-
ment leaders that the will of
the people still reigns
supreme.
"The dam is broken,·
Caustin said on election
night. •Up to this point, spe-
cial interests have had a lot
ofsway .... Greenllghtwill
ensure that (the people) have
the final say.·
3 MEASURE F AND EL
TORO: Those who have
fought an airport for the for-
mer El Toro Marine Air Sta-

pagne corks in March, when
Orange County voters over-
whelmingly approved Mea-
sure F, an initiative that
would have required public
approval for any airport.
But the bubbly went Oat
in early December. when a
Los Angeles County Superior
Court judge tossed the mea-
sure out because its scope
was too broad.
Airport foes vowed to
appeal the ruling and quick·
ly scrambled to mount a
publicity campaign to con-
vince the public that the
county's $2.8-bWion airport
proposal died on the Mea-
sure P\dne.

said they would work to
overturn Measure A, the
1994 initiative that rezoned

be built. .

meeting that one of the sig·
natures on Steel's nominating
petition was forged and that
the councilman-elect should
be barred from ta.king office.
Opinion -even on the
council itself-was divided
about whether the mistake
was a technicality to be
overlooked or a flouting of a
law that elected officials, in
particular, should be careful
to uphold.
Szkaradek "thinks a bus·
band signed for his wife, and
I'm sorry but that is just not

But Councilwoman Linda
Dixon saw the controversy
differently.
"To allow or to overlook a
dishonest attempt In the
process is a slap in the face
to potential candidates who
follow the rules and to citi-
zens in the community,"
Dixon said.
Eventually, the claim went
to the city attorney and the
district attorney. Based on his
investigation, City Atty. Jerry
Scheer recommended that
the council swear in Steel
with Cowan and Robinson.
The district attorney is still
checking to see if any laws
were broken and whether
Steel should be fined.

8 DANGEROUS BEACHES:
Five deaths were report-
ed at the beach this year,
making this summer worse
than most in the number of
drownings.
In August, a 20-year-old
man from Fullerton dad in a
white robe walked into the
water at The Wedge. His
lifeless body was pulled out
three hours later. Authorities
believed it was a suicide.
A Santa Ana teenager
drowned off Newport Pier in
May. In June, a San
Bernardino man died In a rip
cunentnear 55th Street, and
a 17·year-old 1-UghlAnd resi-
dent collapsed and died at
The Wedge.
In July, the body of a 70-
year·old Costa Mesa man,
possibly a suicide, washed
up at the £1 Morro Village
mobile home park.
While lifeguards rescued
hundreds of people during the
summer, officials said the sheer
body count was intimidating
and disturbing. Officials said
the usual number of drown-
ings during an average sum-
mer in Newport Beach is one.

Several fuel spills -
which are always common m
the boat-filled harbor -
made the news, especially
when two swans that live in
the bay were harmed.
~ut perhaps the spills that
caught the most attention
were the ones that muddied
the waters at Crystal Cove -
considered one of the last
pristine beaches on the Cali-
fornia coast. The state beach
has been under the watchful
eye of nearby residents and
environmentalists, who have
logged the discharges that
have mostly resulted from
construction.
This is a story that doesn't
end with the close of the
year -beach pollution, and
the efforts to preserve water
quality, will continue to be m
the spotlight.

COSTA MESA -After 14 lead
changes and eight ties, Hoover
High of Glendale found a way to
shak~ Corona del Mar in the final
round of pool play Thursday in the
Coast Holiday Classic at Estancia.
The Tornadoes (4-7) turned to
seruor guard Fred Akopyan, who
scored eight straight points in the
Uurd quarter on four consecutive
ldyups as the designated hosts
broke down the Sea Kings with a
successruJ hall-court trap and rallied
for d 62-56 victory.
Akopyan scored on four succes·
sive easy baskets late in the third
quarter, then 6·foot-2 senior reserve
forward Brent Pell dropped in a
turnaround baseline jumper to beat
the period-ending buzzer and give
Hoover a 45-37 lead.
CdM (2-9) missed its first four
field-goal attempts in the fowth·
quarter, while Akopyan scored six
more points in three straight posses-
sions as Hoover built a commanding
53-41 advantage with 2:43 left in the
Hoover was also sparked by
sophomore guard Annen
Bagdhasarlan, who scored all 13 of
his points in the first half on 5-of-6
shooting from the floor, including a
3-of-4 effort from three-point land.
Following the Hoover win, which
was more comfortable than the final
six-point margin would indicate
because of two CdM three-pointers
in the waning seconds.., Kohlmeier
was quick to point out that
Bagdhasarian's older brother, Arbi,
was an all-tournament selection for
Hoover in the 1995 Coast Christmas
CdM's final lead came when
senior guard Idean Shahangian
scored on a short jumper that was
given a customer friendly roll before
falling through the cylinder, provicl-
ing the Sea Kings with a 37-35 edge
while ':12 remained on the third-
quarter clock.
That's when Hoover started its
18-4 run, thanks to four CdM
turnovers late in the period.

Jim Weeks was already mak-

·w e have to use full·court
pressure. because CdM and
Estancia play that way,•
Weeks said. •Right now,
we're still trying to get to
Estancia's intensity level·
The Mustangs (8-5)

with that defensive pressure,
forcing 17 first -half turnovers
to build a 34-19 lead.
Mesa used a 13-2 run in
the final 2:53 of the first half
to take command, then upped
the lead to 19 two minutes
into the third period.
Ocean View kept coming,
however, and eventually
whittled the lead to 65-57,
with 41 seconds left, about 30
seconds after Weeks put sev-
eral starters back in.
Mesa. however, held off to
advance to toiiight's 8 o'clock
semifinal against Lake Wash-
ington.

spark at both ends of the Ooor
for the hosts. She had 15
points nine steals and seven
assists.

Marshall cb.lpped in 13 and
12 points, respectively, while
Naff's eight rebounds
matched Christine Caron for
team-high honors.

throws, while Ocean View
was 20 of 32 from the line.

ished with 26 turnovers, had
four players in double figures,
