AN EXPLOSIVE DEBATE Costa Mesa leaders and resi- dents were thrust head first last week tnto a heated exchange about racism. homophobia, hatred dnd intolerance after an orga- nized group of young activists questtoned the appointments of three city committee members. Resident Mira Ingram provided the spark that ignited a long-" overdue discus-COSTA MESA sion on diversity and tolerance in the city when she brought to light Internet postings by members of the Human Relations Committee that she found lo be racist and homophobic. Ingram quoted from various posts on a local Web site -which was created to encourage discus- sion dmong Costa Mesa residents about city issues -that.were wntten by current members of the Human Relations Committee and ~discussed topics of race and sexu-= al onentalloR. As a lesbian, she -srud she felt comments condemJ'\- • mg a homosexual lifestyle were promoting intolerance. The three members in question vigorously denied any allegations of rdc1sm or homophobia and defended their positions on the Human Relations Committee. Those in question said they had a right to their own opinions and asked that those who disagree, tolerate their differing views. Councilwoman Libby Cowan said the resulting controversy of the allegedly offensive Internet postings allows the city to take a hard look at the •tough issue" that Costa Mesa faces regarding race, legal and economic status, religion and sexual orientation. She encouraged dialogue throughout the community in an effort to resolve some mispercep- tions and work toward tolerance of all residents. -Loltu Harper coven Com Mesa.

Young O\ang DAILY PILOT J ust up a gently sloping hill on the comer of 5th Street and Marguerite Avenue in Corona del Mar, seniors have a place they rule. . Here, they c~ rely on mstructors to teach art, exercise, dance and even French classes at a pace and level appropriate for their age. They can look • forward to look1il things like BAC health fairs, casino nights, computer classes and performances by ukulele players and accordionists. They can enjoy potlucks and pancake breakfasts with other seniors who also have the leisure time. "This is someplace they .can call their own,• said Vicki Chin, social services coordinator for the Oasis Senior Center. "They have a lot of input as to what goes on.• Saturday, the center will celebrate its 25th anniver- sary with a day of jazz con- certs, bluegrass perfor- mances, an art exhibit, a pancake breaklast and a barbecue lunch. Partici- pants will be given a party favor, a memory book about Oasis' past. -The story started in 1974. when Counc!lwoman Lucille Kuehn determined, after research, that 14 % of Newport Beach residents were older than 60 and that this population neec;ted to be better served. Plans started with a pro- posal for an Older Adult Social and Information Ser- vices Center funded by two years of Housing and Urban Development Block Grant money, according to • • a history of the center pro- vided by the Newport Beach Central l.,ibrary. A year later, 'lhe city bought the space at 5th and Marguerite for $450,000. The three-wing space was leased to Carden School, a lease that was renewed twice and would have ended in August 1977. When the school asked to renew the lease for a third time, seniors got upset. The property had been bought with funds set aside for a senior center, and it wasn't being used that way. The council rejected the school's request but approved a plan in the spring of 1977 that meant seniors would use a room in the property's north wing and the school would use the rest.. Seniors around town got mad. They made their pres- ence felt at City Council meetings. Planning Com- mission meetings and other gatherings involving city officials. :rhey sought sup- port from groups including the League of Women Vot- ers and the Orange County Senior Citizens Council. Meanwhile, HUD threat- ened to take back the mon- ey they'd given the city. Seniors formed a group called the Friends of Oasis and elected a committee of officers to represent them- selves. The school was unable to continue at the site. Plans for a center that would serve just seniors 50 ~ and older began taking shdpe. In August 1977, the Oasis Senior Center opened dS a three-room space. By September 1977, the first bridge, painting, gar- dening, goU and organ classes started. Dance and other classes started the next month and potluck 1 lunches and pancake breaklasts began soon after that. In July 1978, the cen- ter expanded to all three wings. , Some of the more popu- lar clubs at the center now include the garden club, which formed in 1978, the sailing club and exercise club!\. "}think in many ways, (the center) gives them a purpose,• Chin said. "It gives them activities that they enjoy, that they can get involved in. And also a lot of the activities are taught by seniors, and they really get involved and make new friends and just have somepl~e to go and something to do.• Saturday's anniversary cel- ebration will start at 7:30 a.m. and last through lhe day at • 800 Marguerite Ave., Corona del Mar.

She chooses to do this in the water because she loves the ocean. •And I love to swim,· the Newport.Harbor High School student said. Which goes for everyone in her group. But on Tuesday afternoon, the cadets did more than just swim. They played rescuer, played victim and even jumped off the Newport Pier. "The classroom is good, but it's out here where the teaching happens,· said Car- penter, squinting in the sun. JUMPING OFF Spencer Pirdy ran back breathless from the water and gushed about what had just happened . •A dead fish was jiggling in my hand!" he exclaimed, explaining what he felt when he dove underwater to simu- late a rescue.

Believe it or not, camping has been iden- tified as a common character- istic of dose and happy fami- lies. But why? There are lots or possible reasons. The nature of camping might simply make people happier Veronica James and more NOTEBOOK f ~e=ant around. Being away from the responsibilities of work, home or school and the hus- tle and bustle of the city or suburbs can reduce stress. And waking up to a tranquil and natural environment where you can see streams and lakes and forests and mountains, instead of con- crete, pavement or a neigh- bor's block wall. is relaxing and refreshing. While it's good for many adults, camping may have been invented for kids. The two go hand in hand. There's something about camping that children adore. Last year while watching our then almost 2-year-old son frolic in leaves, dirt and grass while camping, my husband com- mented, "He is truly in his element.· Most children are in their element when out in nature, free from the confines of walls and rooms, rules and structure -free to roam their world, watch bugs or squir- rels, listen to birds and watch the sunset. Kids enjoy the fun activities that go along with camping, too, like hlking, swimming and fishing.

In the absence of all the comforts and accouterments of home, family members are more likely to actually talk and listen to each other and do all those other things they know they should be doing together. While camping, families may rediscover checkers, cards and board games, reading together, telling stories and even singing together. Being miles from TVs, computers, movie theaters, sporting events, shopping malls and amusement parks forces the campers to enter- tain themselves, a novel experience for many in OU( sensory and activity-over- loaded culture.

Tribal patterns and Chinese characters are popular designs. Summer is the busiest season for those who create epidermal artwork, from permanent tattoos and piercings to henna designs Young Chang DAILY PILOT T is the season for belly baring, back showing, hot-pants wearing and T- shi.rt doffing. Which means that tat- toos, body piercings and other epider- mal artwork get their time in the sun. · Area tattoo artists say summer is their busiest season, even in the ever-balmy land of Newport-Mesa. "I would guess, basically, that it's just because they can show them off,• said Melin- da Kepner, owner of Balboa Tattoo. Meryl Furey, a body piercer at Newport Tat- too, added that the beach environment here entices people to go for body art, espedally the nonnatives. "Summer is more popular down here because there are more tourists,• she said. Popular tattoos at the moment include tribal designs and Chinese characters. "It kinda goes in waves,• Kepner said. "One year something is popular ... but there really isn't a seasonal popularity thing.• When it comes to tribal marks, solid black -designs with intertwining lines, as well as thorny-looking things, are popular, she said. The most commonly-ordered messages in Chi- nese characters are strength, honor and love. In line with the Asian theme is Japanese art, including images of koi, and pictures of air, fire and water, Furey said. "And sparrows,• she said. ·Among the punk-rock scene, they're pretty popular. They seem to have just caught on. The sparrows sort of stem from Sailor Jerry tattoos, one of the early artists. They just stuck.• Other, more aged designs that have contin- ued to stick include butterflies and stars, artists agree. In Orange County, nautical stars -the ones used on marine ships and flags -are well- liked, Furey said. But the contest for most popular tattoo is one without many winners, said Costa Mesa tattoo artist Will Thompson, at Orange County Ink. It's like asking what the most popular car is or what a favorite genre of art would be, he continued. •People that get tattoos is everyone,• he TUVIL TALES said. "Religious people to anti-religious peo- ple. It's so broad, there is no pinpointing . • Which leads into why people get tattoos. Furey ventured that customers are Jooking for a way to set themselves apart, yet classify themselves with a particular group or field of interest. Thompson added that people want to look a certain way. Whether it's midlife aisis sufferers wanting a quick and youthful change or a teen wanting to adhere to the current cool image, the reasons are countless. •And one way people think of it ts as an art form,• Thompson said. - For those who want to mark thernseJves but aren't sure about living with a tattoo forever, there is henna tattooing or mehndi art, as it's also called.

For the inexperi- enced, it's l>robably best to try it out rust at a local campsite that doesn't · require a long· drive or reservations booked months in advance. Camping with a group is also a good idea initi4lly. Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, church groups, youtlt groups, relatives and friends can all provide experience, knowledge and a helping hand. There are also camping clubs and RV clubs that map out trips swimming with a dolphin. •1t was just like this place where they held dol- phins but they opened it to the people,• the Newport Coast resident said. •I thought one was going to bite me, but they were real- ly gentle.• In Key West, Fisher's finds at the Treasure Muse- um included heaps of silver bars, silver coins, gold and jewels.

A fter leading a quiet exis- tence, Costa Mesa's Human Relations Com- mittee appears to be getting at the very issues it was created to address, albeit not in the way some members may have planned lo. Issues of hate. Issues of racism. Issues of intolerance. How the com- mittee handles these issues may very well define how useful it will be and signal whether the city is des- lined to unite across different cultur- al, political and religious lines or fracture into tight-knit, but alarming- ly separate, enddves. What is at the center of thts debate depends on whom you ask. It is either that three committee mem- bers, includmg one City Council candidate, posted allegedly racist and homophobic comments to a Web site dedicated lo Costa Mesa 1SSue (and therefore should not be mem bers of the tolerance commit- tee) or that the trio bas been unfairly targeted for having different view- points - ones they describe as con- servative -from the majority of the committee. Less important than the root of the argument is fintling a solution to 1t, however. And that solution must involve both sides bending toward each other in a gesture of under- standing and tolerance. For the trio accused of the offend- ing comme nts -candidate Allan Mansoor and residents Jan David- son and Joel Faris -that bending means looking at what they have written and understanding why it has upset people so severely. Exam- ples include posts by Mansoor citing the Family Research Council and a supposed link between gay men and child sex abusers. The problem with these is that the council is not an unbiased source of information and their promotion, drawn from the group's mission statement, of •the Judeo-Christian worldview as the basis for a just, free, and stable soci- ety" is counter to the cause of the Hwnan Relations Committee, which presumably would not promote one "worldview• over another. Other posts or statements that denigrate one group in favor of ariother are equally counter to the committee's goal and deserve rebuke and criticism, from whichev- er side it may come. Those charging Mansoor, David- son and Faris -and the rest of the committee, as well -need to remember that the only view the committee should be promoting is tolerance and understanding. Cer- tainly, any group preaching toler- ance should be able to include resi- dents who have different political and religious beliefs, as long as there is agreement on the basic mission of the committee. That is the point of the group. after all. Simply being a #conservative# member of the committee is not reason enough for removal But being hateful is. Because the mis- sion of the Human Relations Com- mittee is clear, the onus is on all members of this committee, not just Mansoor, David.son and Faris, to prove that they are committed to tolerance and understanding. U they cannot. then they have no place on the committee. The handling of their defense will be the crucial test for the rest of the committee. U members cannot cope with these internal problems, it will be difficult to conceive of them man- aging citywide issues of hatred or racism. • But if they can bnng their diver- gent beliefs together, then there tru- ly is hope for a better Costa Mesa tomorrow. Costa Mesa can be a safer city C osta Mesa again ranked 30th on the FBl's list of California's safest cities with a population greater than 100,000. While it would disturb us more if Costa Mesa failed to make the list altogether, we can't help but nobce that all other large Orange County cities placed higher on the list. That leaves Costa Mesa belund such cities as Anaheim, Garden Grove and San- ta Ana. It's obVlously presbgious to make the list of the 30 safest cities in a state as large as Callfom!a and for that we think Costa Mesa's Police Depart- ment, under the leadership of Chief Dave Snowden. should be proud. But we have to ask, should Costa Mesa really place behind those three afore- mentioned Orange County cities? We think not. While bordered on the east by Santa Ana, Costa Mesa also neigh- bors Fountain Valley, Newport Beach and Huntington Beach -the latter of which placed eighth on the list, one ahead of IJVine. What also stands out in the FBl's Unifonn Crime Report is that Costa Mesa's total crime rate actually rose 16.1 % in 2001. All categories of vio- lent crime reflected increases, as well. The categories mclude forcible rape, robbery, aggravated assault and murder. We acknowledge the stats can be misleading. Having low crime rates can sometimes show a greater increase in the statistics than what is actual. For example, Ii a city had zero horrucides one year, and then only one the next the statisbcs will reflect a 100% increase. Still city offioals should not ignore any increase in the statistics. The report is studied and prepared for a reason and the city should aim to best itself each year. One category in which the Police Department has begun to make progress is auto thefts, which showed a slight decrease. The department set out to best itseU in that category by creating a task force to combat auto thefts. We applaud that progress and hope police officials continue to make strides on that problem. Costa Mesa is a great city and people should feel safe living, shop- ping and working here. But It can be an even greater and saler city and we shouldn't expect anyqiing less. Nor should the dty.

Resident stretches 'Establishment Clause· For some time, I have been thinking that perhaps the so- called "Estaolishment Clause# (Amendment 1 of the U.S. Con- stitution) had endured all the stretching possible. Well, I guess I was wrong. Now comes John Nelson to contend that the #Establishment Clause• is being violated not by Congress, not by the federal courts, not by the state of Cali- fornia, but by, of all things, the city of Newport Beach (#Resi- dent sues Newport over church parking,• Jan. 15). The first amendment to the U.S. Constitution sets forth in ~pie and straightforward lan- guage, •congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or probibjting the free exercise the reof, or abrid g- ing the freedom of speech, or of the press, or the right of the peo- ple peaceably to assemble and to petition the government for the redress of grievances.

Not sure if that applies to Michael Newdow, the Sacramento doctor/attorney involved in the Pledge of Alle- glance flap, however his bemg an atheist doesn't necessanly make him a bad guy r No loss for words on Pledge ruling,· June 27). I have an atheist Cnend who is kind, warm, since re , witty, ethi- cal, compassionate and honest. I have never heard him speak an pnkind word about another. He treats all people with respect. He just doesn't believe in God. He has no interest in arguing about it. Nor is he an atheist because he thinks it makes him sound like an intellectual, as some may do. He is the most spiritual per- son I know. I like the way the pledge sounds without the Hunder God" inserted. And I think that the God that I believe in can handle being deleCed. It tells me that this great nation deserves our allegiance, love and respect, in and ror itself. The God that looks down on this earth, in the year 2002, is more concerned about the dozens of nations slaughter- ing each other ln hls name. The more distance we put between chu rch and state. the safer I feel. Believing in God, as 1 do, doesn't make me reli- gious, it malc.es me spiritual.

When are the Greenllghters going to wake up and realize that a city cannot simply stop economic growth and expect to maintain a satisfactory level of necessary city services? When? Never. With no other thought than to stop all economic progress and growth, these wealthy, NIMBY zealots wW stop at nothing to achieve their goals. They tried to influence the City Council to block th$! Koll project issue from the voters and when that failed 8:Dd with the resources only they could afford, they plastered lbe city with •No on G" posters.

We're constantly trying to improve ourselves.' Fletcher Jones Motor Cars General Manager Garth Blumenthal discusses the dealership's success and this year's goals S ince December 1991, Fletcher Jones Motor Cars has called Newport Beach its home. ln 1995, the city gave an eight-acre parcel to the deal- ership, betting that the invest- ment would pay off. In January, city officials d eclared that move a resounding success when reports showed the dealer had brought in $6.6 million in truces over a five-year period -$4.6 million more than they had hoped for when they made the deal. Celebrating its 10th anniver- sary, Fletcher Jones is the nation's No. 1 Mercedes-Benz dealership and confirmed that reputation by setting a record with its first-quarter sales figures earlier this year. By year's end, the dealership may haul in about a half-billion in revenues. On Wednesday, the dealer- ship's general manager, Garth Blumenthal, sat down with City Editor James Meier to discuss the dealership's success, the city's Green.light law and a slight expansion. H etcher Jones is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year and started the year with a bang with a record- settlng first quarter with $107 mllllon ln revenue. What's made the dealer- shJp so successful? One of the main reasons, obviously, is we have a dedicated team here that understands customer care and cus- tomer service, and we try to treat everyone like they're guests in our home for the first time. We're continu- ally raising our standards. Even if it's only a 1 % improvement per month, it adds up over a year or time. Obviously, we're in an aifluent milJ'- ket. We believe that as our cars have become more affordable. we've been able to draw more prospective buyers, and I think one of the main reasons is they're attracted to the convenience and preferred buyer program, like the airport shuttle, free hand carwashes and loaner cars, and free hardtop stor- age during the warmer months. That program has been very well-received. And the fact that Mercedes-Benz has such a wide variety of cars. There's a big choice in what you can buy in a Mercedes-Benz product. We're always looking for new, innovative ways to improve client ser- vice and looking at other companies like DISDey, Wal-Mart. Southwest Alr- lines, Nordstrom and the Ritz-Carlton hotel group. We're looking dt the best practices in other industries and adopting some of their best standards. We've dlso mdde d gredt use of consuJtdnts m different fields to Lmprovc how we hc1ndJe mcoming phone calls dnd our exKutive leader- ship development. We made c1 lot of changel> two yec1rs dQO 8S we foreSdW an economic slowdown and we wc1nled to continue to grow our business with better wdys to organize our business. Also. WP' re succeSl>ful becdu<;e we're m cl unique arec1 economically, c1nd there's huge potential. We've l)(..'(•n very fortunate. Do you have any thoughts on the city's Greenllght law and slow- growth attitude? There has to be a baJance between dev('lopmenL a.nd takl.ng care of the environment. I'm the sure the city will be responsible wi th both and will set c1s1de ~1reen Spdce. We plan lo expand at another site thal we own c1t 1301 Quail St. (the pre- vious site of Fletcher Jones Motor Cars) in dboul two years. It will be an area where we can move some of our work thdt we do rntemally with our new and pre-owned vehicles, thereby freeing more sel"Vlce bays for our clients' cars. That way, they won't have wait times for servtces. They'll be able lo gel in the next day. One of the redSons we've been really successful is becduse the owner has msWJed discipline. We have meet- ings every w eek. We have manage- ment meebngs, service meetings. We test dnve the pre-owned veh:Jcles on Thursdays before the weekend so we can work on them before the week- end. We're constdnUy trying to People must educate themselves before drawing conclusions W hat is this? Do we need to establish a new pho- bia? Let's call it Chris- tobia; that way we can pinpoint a paranoia with one simple swipe of a pen. Larry Platt has it, so does Pat Ormsbee (Mailbag. July 2), along with a number or other observers.

So, after a 70-51 loss to Calabasas Saturday in the quar- terfinals of the George Yardley Summer Cage Classic at Newport Harbor High, Curry, who endured a 5-22 debut sea.son that included losing nine of the hnal 10 games, was quick to emphasize the tqumament landmark the Sea Kings bad already reached. •1 told the kids (afterward) that we were in a place we'd never been before,· Curry said.

The Sea Kings, who defeated St. Monica and Back Bay rival Newport Harbor Friday to reach the quarterfinals, rallied from an 11-3 deficit to take a 20-19 lead with 6:23 left in the first half.
