And It's time for all the traditions that go with them: the parties. the lights, the sleigh bells, the shoplifting. Nov. 11 was an Interesting day at Bloomingdale's. Not the one on 59th & Lex. The one In Fashion Island. At first glance, it was just one more sordid little tale about a shoplifter who got caught. :1~~~ .. P£TER even have an BUFFA agent. But it gets bener. I promise. Meet KJJn Ann Barro, a 36-year old massage therapist from Laguna Niguel. According to Newport Beach police, on that bright November morning. Kim Ann saw a cashmere scarf that she fancied, and tried to acquire it using the special Non-Preferred Customer Five-Finger Discount, sometimes referred to as the " l00% Off Sale.· One of Bloomie's security officers grabbed Barro as she left the store. explained how deeply disappointed he was in her, dragged her and her recent nonpun:hase back ins.ide and tried to cuff her. It did not go weU. Things got physical, oddly enough, and before you could say, "Holy Dolce & Gabbana," Kim Ann was out the door and down the road. sans scarf, but with handcuffs. Actually, one handcuff, to be exact, the ot11er dangling free. At that point, the Newport Beach police were summoned and the search was on. As searches go, it didn't take long. The cashmere culprit was done in by th;;t powerful combl11adon of crime-fighting tools -technology and stupidity. Unbeknownst to Ms. Barro, Wynona Ryder isn't the only star of the very-small screen. According 10 Bloomingdale's, the security peeps were already watching Barros every move when she scarfed the scarf, and the whole episode was caught on tape. In wasn't quite as Impressive as the video of Ryder walking out the door of Saks looking like a pack. mule in the Donner party - but It was not bad, and a number of papers and television stations carried the images that night. Apparently, Kim Ann Is very well liked, because the police got a number of calls Identifying both her and her address. Thank you, very much, SH COMMENTS, Paa• M INSIDE .

It's the lndivldua.I. compulsive shoplifter that is so mystifying, especially when the one lSehav- ing bad Is rich and famous. According to Peter Berlin, the Executive Director of a group called Shoplifters Alternative, ha· bitual shoplifting is a response to emotional problems, which is why the value of what's taken, or the finances of the shoplifter are irrelevant.. "(ShopUftlngJ produces a chemical reaction, le. adrena- lin,· says Berlin, "resulting in what shopliftecs describe 93 an incredible "rush" or "high" feel- ing, which many shoplifters will tell you is the "true reward,· rather than the merchandise it- self. ·1n addition to feeling good, shoplifters quldty observe that this "high" temponui.ly ellrnf· nates their feelings of angt!r, frustration, depression or other unhappiness In their life," he says.

District's grad rate needs a closer look 0 veraJI Newport·Mesa Unified School District is doing n 1op-notch job of getting students through the system in 12 years, even with the new, more s tnngent graduation requirements. According 10 the California Department of Bducnlion, the dltllrict graduated 93.6% of seniors la.st year. JWo schools had I 00% graduation rate That's great But 11's not the whole picture ~ere. The district's two alternative education hJgh schools did not have such impressive graduatJon rates on the 2003 Adequate Yearly Progress Phase ll reports. which chronJcles the graduation success rate for the class of 2002. At Monie Vista Alternative only 60.3% of seniors graduated. That's not a great number, and is sadly close to neighboring dlstrlct's alternative education graduation numbers. However, the real worry ls at Back Bay Continuation. There the percentage of seniors moving on dropped to an appalling 16.79'>. ·Ncwport·Mesa officials attributed the low rates to the •unJque structure" of the school, but a drop from 76.943{, the year before still raises a red Oag. The report uses a formula that takes Into account the number of dropouts each year. the number of students graduating who began as freshman together and. while transfers don't hurt a school's standing. a student leaving without a forwarding school transcrlpl does. Regard.Jess of the possible loopholes in the formula, or the Oexible structure at Bade Bay. accordJng to the report 1 O srudcnts In the class of 2002 dropped out and rwo graduated. Any way you cut it. that's not good. That five dropped out in the l998-99 school year, plus five more ln the 1999·00 school year. does not make It any better. The numbers indicate that the program Is not engaging srudents. The other district claim -that students often enter the school as seniors but have too few credits to eraduate -may explain numbers but does not diminish concern. We cannot let these students fall behind and through the cracks. This Is without a sentiment the school district and lts educators share. But It something they and the community must be vigilant 1bouL THE LAST WORD As the Worm turns We're guc Ing more than a few readers are avoldlng this apace, certain they know what's to come here.

While most of my coUeagues were taking jobs across the bay In San Francisco, 1 was more interested in trying to work overseas. I felt at the time it wouJd be the only period In my life where I couJd see the world. I applied to the Peace Corps th.Inking I wouJd get posted ln Latin America because I spoke some Spanish at the time. The next thing I knew I was speaking Swahili in the East African country ofTunzania, where I was sent to teach economics at an aU·girts government high school. for the government. Plus, the world just isn't as safe for U.S. diplomats anymore. The idea of spending the rest of my life bunkered down in an embas,,y canceled out aU my exotic aspirations of living abroad. Upon graduation, I began to look again at jobs dealing with teenage youth. I moved back to Orange Counry right when Save Our Youth was look.Ing for a new di~or. I guess you can say the timing was perfect for my ambitiom and SOY's need to fill ~tls position.

I'm not very good but then again I'm not afraid to make a fool out of myself, so that helps. 'We cannot deny that [the county] has changed so much in the Last 2~years. We have to accept that It was an invaluable experience where I was able to mature and develop a set of vaJues that I carry with me to this day. The school where 1 taught was located in the shadow of Mt. Kilimanjaro. As a secondary project, I trained and led these high school girls on six-day expedJtions up to the summit of Kilimanjaro. Interestingly eqough, my written tales from these expedJtions were mailed home and distributed to family and friends. Somehow they landed In the hands of Petec and Unda Biehl, who wanted to meet me. After almost three years in Tanzania. I craveled to Cape Town, South Africa. where I met the Biehls and discussed the possibility of becoming the new program director of the Amy Biehl Foundation 'IhJsL I took the position and moved to Cape Tuwn for two years. ls lt bard following In the footsteps of tomeone such as Oscar Santoyo, who was there "forner" and very weU lowdl It is difficult on some levels. We are hoping to expand the scholarsWp program in regards to recruiting more low· income youths to our academic center where they can earn money for good grades. We have dismantled the boxing program and have turned that room into more of a mulU·purpose room where it can be used by more youth. It almost doubles our capacity and we use It more for youth workshops and collaborations with other agencies. J am hoping to start a music program where aspiring yoWlg musicians can congregate and play together. We have also have a lot of dancers using the new room to practice so I might capltaliz.e on their enthusiasm. I am also hoping to do more excursions outside of Costa Mesa, maybe even International. I would love to take the SOY Girls up to Mt. Whitney as an empowerment project. However, these exa.arsions cost money and you almost always need to he pmperty equipped.

Under the mentoring of Peter and Unda, I drove everyday into the same township where Amy was killed to develop and manage after school programs for at·rlsk and dJsadvantaged youth. During this time, I met with my current wife Sarah. a beaut1ful South African artist, who also worked In the after-school program'> for the Amy Biehl Foundation. O was actually her bo~l However, the be<it thing in regards to "following in the footsteps" that Oscar left at SOY was that he nurtured community support for what we are trying to do. You have a very ic.pedal community here in Costa Mc..a and at limes I feel like an adoptc<l wn. Everyone I have dealt with here has been like, "Oh, you're the new director of SOY? What can 1 do to help?" As anybody ran tell you, thh -;upport can ht• d1fficuJt to obtain in the world of nonprofits. I have been able to feet.I off this support ru. SOY has made this major tmnsition in Its history because of the heart and soul Oscar put into it. The hardrst part has been the look.' on some of the kid's faces when thl'Y come into the office for the first unw and learn that Oscar has moved on. You ~an tell that everybody revered him. 1 Juwever, my staff and the board have stood behind me and I have not had any trouble connecting with the yc1111h at SOY. The dty has Ken an arguable rile In gang-related crfmee, la th.at a large concern of yours al SOYT Of course. We arc always aware of what gang-related actJvldes arc happening In the community. The ~nee of SOY Is the d.tvfrslon of youth away from these activities. We work everyday to combat the symptoms that mltJlt lead the youth toward this lifestyle. That is what we do and It can be difficuJt at times. We will never be able to force kids to a make a decision to '>lay clean, but we can otrer them support and an aJtemative if they chose to.

I decided in the fall of 2000 to enter graduate school at Georgetown UnJversity in their School of Foreign Service.

The milk is then set aside for a moment so the foam and liquid milk can separate. "We don't want shampoo-bubble foam. We want nice, silky foam," Vanek says. Waiting a few moments for the milk to settle achieves this desired effect. Surprisingly, nonfat milk makes the-best roam. - LESSON NO. 7 MIX ITUP The espresso is brewed. The milk Is steamed.

Steve Vlr1en Da1tyP1tot WALNUT -After running their best cross country race of the season, the Newport Harbor High girls congratulated one an- other with hugs, but then suddenly paused when the top seven teams of Division II were announced at the CIF Southern Sec- tion finals Saturday al ML San Antonio Col- lege. The top seven teams ad- • vance to the CIF State championships Nov. 29 at VtbodWard Parle ln Fresno. The first three teams that were announced were the seventh-, sixth-and fifth. place squads, and the Sail- ors became nervous. They thought they would just make the cut to go on to the state meet, ao they were worried. "In fourth place, Woodbridge." And then more worry. "ln third, Newport Harbor." And then frenzy. Newport Harbor earned third place in CIF Division ll and qualified for the CIF State championships next week. TI1e Sailors sur- prised themselves and definitely raised the eyebrows of many. Newport entered the CIF finals with the seventh-best team time, 98:08, just seven seconds faster than the ninth. "People were probably thinking we were on the bubble," safd Newport Coach Eric TWelt who predicted his team would ad- vance to the state meet. "lb go from being on the bubble to finishing third and belng only 11 polnts out of third place is just a great testament to all these young ladjes. I can't think of a group that's ever stepped up and ran that well for us." The Sallon were also pleased they fin- ished ahead or Sea View League champion Woodbridge. lWeit safd it was a matter of re- spect that they were so excited about finish- ing ahead of the Warriors, who took fourth. Sultana won the Division n dtJe with 49 points and Cypress came ln second with 123.
