To get a better picture of how revolutionary we are, think about health care years ago. When you needed any minor operation you had to go to the hospital. You had to stay for several days, be subjected to lots of expensive tests and you paid a whopping bill. So what happened? Someone created Outpatient Clinics and they spread all over the country. Now you can have minor surgery in one day with the same good results that you would have in a hospital, but without the overhead, tests and costs. Outpatinet Clinics are a true success story. Well, CARSMETICS is the first outpatient Clinic for body shops! It is truly a unique company. 4¥*'iii.\B·•~t.ut;•• •!¥f1ii 11"11.f§§Mmt• Carsmetics is not a traditional body shop. Since we concentrate on smaller repairs, we don't have the high overhead costs of large frame machinery, wreckers or other expensive equipment. We pass those savings on to our customers. You get the quality without the high body shop prices and without the customary delays. You may even save enough to avoid reporting your accident to your insurance company. Leasing companies have become much tougher on penalizing you for minor scratches and dents when the car is turned back-some bills are horrendous. You can avoid these penalties by having Carsmetics repair your car before tum-in. •~"·'·''iili·'·'A'.IA,t~ Damaged body panels, scratches and scrapes are repaired with the same quality and workmanship that you would expect at the very finest body shops. Carsmetlcs repairs all vehicles by appointment. enabling us to complete most repairs In just one day. That means you can eliminate or minimize the need for a rental car. Carsmetics has engineered methods to repair plastic bumpers to a like-new condition. Newly developed materials allow plastic bumpers to be repaired and repainted at a fraction of replacement costs. Garsmetics uses the highest quality DuPont products and we offer a warranty on wortunanshlp and materials for as long as you own you car.

Fashion rsland isa central o~an to Newpon Center's function as an edge city, according to author Joel Garreau. He describes the Los Angeles metropolis as multinucleated, with each nucleus having clusters of retail, entertainment, commerciaJ and residential activity amid low·density residential space!>. Newpon Center didn't become that nucleus until Fashion Island became an entertainment haven starting in the late 1980s. Much of tJ1e nuclei are on the fringes of the Los Angeles urban galaxy far from ils downtown core -hence the term edge city. Newport Center, more than 40 miles from downtown Los Angeles. is one of them, along with Irvine Spectrum and South Coast Plaza.

The Pilot reseNes the right to edit all submissions for clarity and length. EDITORIALS Keeping to the no-taxes pledge T he Costa Mesa Oty Council last week raised a nwnber of fees it charges for use of recreation facilities, building permits and the often-maligned conununity garden, among other city services. Some of the increases appear nominal. such as a rise in costs related to general-plan amendments, which now will be $2.315 instead of$2,245 - slightly more than a 3% upswing. Others, while being perhaps no greater in dollar amount, are dramatic in rerms of the percentage rise: a 27% increase in the cost of a conditional-use permit or the 500% increase in the cost for residents using the garden. These changes came a few weeks after the state announced increases in fees at its parl::s, including Crystal Cove State Beach. Parldng at Crystal Cove will double. from $5 to $10. A similar jump could be next at Corona del Mar State Beach. where the prices are set by the ciiy of Newport Beach. 1l1ese fee increases are appearing throughout the state as elected officials try to offset budget shortfalls without resoning to raising the dreaded T word. But no one should be fooled. TilJs added money - being paid by developers. business owners. vacationers and residen..s just going about their day-to-day business -is In all but name a tax increase. Saying otherwise amounts to Orwellian political speech and obfuscation. Residents of Costa Mesa should respond to their local fee increases as if they had had their taxeS raises. They should be questioning whether city officials pursued all other avenues before deciding the fees had to go up. They should be demanding clear, precise answers to their questions. ln the present fiscal climate, it is not unfathomable that these increases were absolutely necessary. It is no secret that Sacramento is taking a big bite out of city budgets. City leaders should not hesitate to tell residents if that is why they have to pay more to play at city park.s and add on to their homes. Residents deserve to know how their tax money arid fee payments are being used and managed. Jf the fees had to go up because Sacramento is stealing from Costa Mesa's coffers, say so. We'll be happy to report it and let anti-tax fervor point at the proper targeL No one could put it on better than Prager W hether it was a power lunch or an lntimate dinner date, dinjng at Hans Prager's Ritz was always a memorable and enjoyable occasion. Not only was the meal superb. but also the ambience and atmosphere spoke of the elegance and excellence befitting Prager and the customers he so proudly served. The proof is evident to anyone who tried getting a table at one of his restaurants without advanced reservations. The loss of Hans Prager late last week at the age of 74 is a difficult blow to Newport-Mesa. The restaurateur, who had a sometimes-prickly persona, yet was deeply loyal to his friends, made an indelible mark on the local culinary scene. A survivor of Nazi Gennany. Prager's dining experience included stints at the Waldorf Astoria.in New Yoric and as manager of the five Crowns in Corona del Mar and 21 Oceanfront on the peninsula. H1s colleagues in the dining industry marveled at his success. came to admire his vast culinary talent and study at his side. "People say, Oh, my son went to Yale.' and I say, I've got you beat. My sons worked for Hans Prager,'" Hon Salisbury, himself a well-established restaurateur and longtime friend 1>f the Ritz owner. told a Daily Pilot reporter. Besides his fine-dining feats, Prager was known for his philanthropy. He created the Ritz Brothers Organization. which friends say helped him pump about $130,000 a year into local charities. Prager's pnsslng is truly the end of an era in Newport Beach dining. His attention to detail and passion for his work is hard to replace. Many local restaurateurs continue cradhions passed on by Prager, but the man who put on the Ritt was truly one of a kind.

BOLTON READERS RESPOND Finding a porpoise-ful monument AT ISSUE : A proposal for a 12-foot dolphin statue by Wyland at Inspiration Point in Corona del Mar. In response to the letter, "Public disclosure needed on dolphin statue": Last year I was offered Lhe opportunity to serve on the Corona del Mar Centennial Celebration Committee. As a local artist with a stroog sense or community pride, I was honored to help, especially in ways that pertain to art. The centennial <,:ommittee's proposal to erect a time capsule monument at the site of Inspiration Point has been met wtth an overwhelming majority of public support through the commi1tee's outreach campaign. There has, however, also been some criticism that the process used to select an artist for the monument. the siu of th e monumeni. and Its aesthetic nacure did not follow an appropriate democratic process. In response to these concerns, It should be noted that significant efforts were made by the centennial committee for I.he public to partake in open sessions at Lhe early planning stages prior to having selected an anist for the monument. Due to the time sensWvity of the project, the committee made a proactive decision to offer to the community a design by a world-class artist in an appropriate location. TI1e comminee feels very fortunate to have the support of an artist ofWyland's renown. After Wytand's preliminary design was revealed. every effort has been made to acquire acceptance from the community during the commlnee's outreach campaign. I can understand how some may perceive the design as a "one-option-take·lt·or-leave·it" presentation but that inappropriately discredits the very honorable efforts made by a volunteer c-0mmJ1tee to field public input and choose the best option for the success of the centennial celebration, while considering the time constrainlS Involved. As a member of the centennial committee and as a concerned local artist, l feel t understand both sides of the Issue. Qearty local artists should have the oppom,mlty to participate in the celebration. ln faC1, that Is my charter within the comminee. Art exhibitions open to local artists will figure prominently In at least two centftMJal events that I am helping to organize. I want to urge the City Council to support the Centennial Committee's ·efforts so we might continue with the momentum established. Allowing the planning to stall at this critical time could be devastating to the commitment of volunteers and ulcimately the succes..c; of the celebration. In 1999. I worked alongside the Secretary of State's Office and the California State Parks in putting together an art program to celebrate California's I SOth annjversary of statehood. Much to my chagrin, bureaucratic malaise and political backstabbing completely unraveled the state's sesquicentennial celebrations and eventually, California failed to celebrate its own I SOth anniversary! The real losers were not those or us involved in its planning but the people of California. I believe that if we as a community do not rally around what is currently on the table, a similar fate may befall us in failing to seize a un ique historic opportunity of civic pride. STEVE SIMON Corona del Mar A 12-foot statue of a dolphin on a 3·foot base1 I don't think so. Inspiration Point is just that: Inspiration Point. It is not an art gaUery, or a space for large. out of place. sculptures. Don't get me wrong. because I love dolphins. The point is currently is a calming environment, so why make it chaotic and allow it to block the view of our natulal resource, the Pacific Ocean? The rock commemorating those who donated to the commemoration of Inspiration Point and those whose names are on that 'rock' would be appalled at this plan. formulated just to make someone -or the committee - look good. I vote "no" on the Wyland statue. Leave what ls there as It is. As an aside, It is so sad that Old Corona del Mar is being violated wi1h all of these new three story houses that have changed the flavor of our co mmunity. Dr1vlng down Seaview Drive has become a drlve through a tunnel now wtth all these mega·houRr~. What Is next7 JANE HILGENDORF Corona del Mar The sculpture described in the article ·eentennial oommluee plans dolphin stal\le" sounds like the right Idea in the wrong place. A centennial sculpture could provide an enduring source of civic pride. Yet, the proposed sculprure would interfere with the use and enjoyment of Corona del Mar's Inspiration Point park overlooking the ocean. Inspiration Point is one of few "view parks'' In Corona del Mar -where many residents and visitors enjoy picnicking and sightseeing year-round with an unobstructed, spectacular view of the ocean. The park is relatively small and space Is limited. The proposed monument would consist of a 12·foot·high sculpture of three dolphins atop a 3-focH-high platform, surrounded by an area of commemorative bricks and a time capsule. AU of these things would obstruct this world-class view and would compete for the limited space in this scenic park. It is not clear how a world-class view would be enhanced by an obstruction. A monument of this type would run counter to the purpose of the park, and would be better suited in other locations available in Corona del Mar. In many cities, it is common to place a monument in the middle of a town square or in the middle of a traffic roundabout, which would be the equivalent of the center Island of Pacific Coast Highway at Marguerite Avenue. The center island of Coast 1-Ughway offen; a prominent location where the monument could make a community statement and where far more people could see it more frequently. Perhaps the monument could be placed in a 1emporary location for the Centennial until the acquisition of the Coast Highway right of way by the city. and then placed permanently in the center island when the city takes ownership. The placement of the monument in the center island could be made part of a celebration of the acquisition of the Coast Highway right-of-way. as a major milestone in the Vision 2004 Improvement Plan for Coas1 Highway. Regardln.g zoning height limits, the Newport Beach's Z.Oning Ordinance Section 20.65.030 protects public views for the benefit of all city residents. The "<>posed monument would result In 1he loss of public views, and would exet:ed the height limit on the bluff side of Ocean Boulevard. in violation of the city's Zoni.ng Ordinance. The City ought not violate its own ordinances. BRUCE COLBERT Corona del Mar HOW TO CONTACT YOUR REPRESENTATIVES crrv (W COSTA MESA Coste Me ..

Five teams of four or five MBA students will get $300,000 from Manin 10 execute their plans-if they sound inviting enough to Martin. The UC! trustee's offer has garnered overwhelming response from business s1udents, and Martin said he's looking forward 10 h earing som e good, big ideas from young minds.

H -CAESAR ANDREWS Editor, Gannett News Service A couple months back, I wrote a series of columns about our attempts to corral the number of errors that appear in the paper. I told the readers how we implemented a new error policy that promJsed sanctfons against those who commit careless mistakes. lntemally. we have made other adjustments to our copy editing process that we feel will be beneficial to the process. ln all, I think It bas paid off. Wlll we ever permanently rid ourselves of errors? No way. lt'a just Impossible conaldertng lhlngs lllte deadline constraJnts and mere human behavtor. Generally, though, I think the amount of errors we make ha5 dropped otr considerably. Still, I'd be lntere.ted to hear from the readen to see lf °"' pm:epdon II widely held. Vnfortunatefy. this week I learned apln bow fallible we are when a faJrty large headltne error appeared ln the paper on .., TONY DODE RO Thursday. The headline stated. "No lifeguards drowned in the line of duty in 2003." While technically that headline Is not wrong, it didn't convey the real meaning behind the story. which was about the amount of rescues lifeguards performed in 2003 and the fact that there were no drownings of swimmers last year. That in itself Is a pretty remarkable piece of lnfonnation, considering the 8-mUUon visitors to the beach during that time. What isn't remarkable is that no lifeguards drowned in the process. In my 15 years associated with this newspaper. I can't recall one dme that a lifeguard bu drowned. so our headline amounted to a man bites dog. nonnewsworthy event. But the headllno error ltsetr prompted me thls Wttk to dilc:uM with the reade.rs the art or craft of headline 1ting and what ii entails. According to the joumaJi,m school textbook, "The Art of Editing.~ headlines sho11ld follow these basic rules: I. Attract the reader-;' attention 2. Summarize the story 3. Help the reader i11de). th(' content of the page 4. Depict the m ood of tlw story 5. Help sel the tone of thc newspaper 6. Provide adequate cypographk reUef. Once upon a time. I a11rnded a copy editing seminar by Porl Fry. a writing and editing coach who teaches semJnars for the Poynter Institute, a journali'm think tank of sorts based In • 1. Petersburg, Florida. Fry told the gathered editor-. tllat the most lmponant and i11d1Jed writers at a newispa per, in hls estimation, are the headline writers. That's because, he said, headlines gtve a newspape r h'I personaHty. ln a few sbon words, the headline will either lose the reader or snag or drag him or her deep Into th~ story.

Steve Vlr&en Daily Pilot COSl/\ MESA -Some hometown favorites came to Vanguard University's Pit with winning inten· tions. but it was the Lions' 5-foot-6 crowd favorite who denied them of that in a nonconference men's basketball game Saturday nigh t. Horace Wormely did hii. b est Earl Boykins im- personalion and scored 15 points, while adding frequent penetration to soften Olapman's defense, helping lead Vanguard to a 75-70 victory. The Lions' diminutive point guard did enough damage to deny a comeback from the Panthers. who included former Newport-. Mesa District high school stand- outs Tony Melum (Newport Harbor High) and Danny Krikorian (Costa Mesa). Greg Perrine (Newport I !arbor) is also on Olap- man's squad but did not play because he is out for the season with a torn anterior cruciate ligament. ·rwormelyl was pretty good." Melum said. "He had a couple of old-fashioned three-point shots there for a couple of plays in a row. That's pretty impressive when you're not a tall fellow.· Melum, a reserve sophomore forward, scored five points. grabbed two rebounds and dished out one assist in 15 minutes of action. Krikorian, a reserve freshman guard who also played the point, recorded two assists and one re· bound in 14 minutes, about the average amount of playing time he has had this season. After Wormely completed two three-point plays in a 73-second span that brought the Lions' mo- mentum and a 46-24 lead, Krikoriao entered the game to put the clamps on lhe pestering poin t guard. Wormely went live minutes without a basket - the time frame Krikorian guarded him. "He's one of the quickest guys I ever guarded." Krikorian said. "He was good at jumping into guys and finishing it. He was a good player.· A few friends and former classmates of Krikorian came to watch him play, including Zach Powell of track and field notoriety. Krikorian's father was also there, while Nedim Pajevic (Newport Harbor), who plays for Santa Ana College. and Brett Perinne, Greg's younger brother who's on the Sallors' varsity team, also took in the game. "It's fun to play lfor Olapman) and that's the most important thing about basketball," Melum said. "We have a good team and we're young. In the future, when Danny (is a junior and I'm a senior) we're going to be a real good team." In the present, Olapman (10-8). a Division III MEN'S BASKETBALL J /' \ MEN'S BASKETBALL UCI can 't bottle up win in OT Anteaters lead big earl y, but technical foul on sp ectator helps Long Beach State, 77-74. Barry Faulkner Daily Pilot LONG BEACH -In the midst of a four-game losing streak. the Long Beach State men's basketball team got some help from a totally unexpected source Saturday night against visiting UC Irvine in a Big West Conference clash at lhe Pyramid. A technical foul was assessed 10 UCI with 2:44 left in regulation, after a plastic water bottle was thrown on the floor from the direction of the UC Ir· vine rooting section, known as the "Complerely Insane Anteaters.~ After a brief delay, and wilh lhe help of some Long Beach rooters point· ing out lhe guilty party. a CIA member, wearing lhe groups trademark yellow T-shirt, was escorted out of lhe arena. After security con· ferred wilh game officials, identifying lhe origin of the bottle as lrvine sup· porters. the indirect technical was is· sued. Long Beach's Jabril Hodges sank bolh Cree throws to give the 49ers (5· 11, 3-4 in conference) their biggest lead of the night. 62-58. The extra two points helped the 49ers eventually earn a n -74 ovenime victory that dropped the Anteaters to 9-7, 4-3. The overtime win also negated a dramatic Mike f.fevberha three-point· er W\th one second left in regulation to send the game into the extra session. The two teams traded lhree-point· ers to start overtime, but Long Beach scored five straight points to take an insurmountable lead and deny UCI a chance to regain sole possession of lhird place in lhe Big West. The technicaJ, courtesy of lhe UCI fan, became automatic. after an initial warning followed a beer can being thrown onto lhe Ooor earlier in lhe game from an area not near the Irvine fan section. Since lhe warning had been an- nounced on the public address syi.-. tern. lhe next instance of any object being lhrown on the court would prompt a technical foul.

I think I can imagine how a country lawyer reels when he waJlcs into the Supreme Coun and is faced with nine robed justices. Robert Hoyt said he had similar feelings, seeing this group of coaches line up as he thought back to his playing days al Santa Ana JC. where Cook was the head coach and Ward the line coach. Everyone seemed 10 appreciate the coaches. including freshman rnnch Joe Urban in rhe audience. but I do believe, 10 year.; from now the appreciation will go much deeper.
