A Serving the Newport-Mesa community since 1907 THURSDAY, NO~MBER 27, 2003 THE BELL CURVE From deep troubles come deep thanks W e will have -I am told as I write this -25 people. give or take a few, for Thanksgiving dinner this year, thus paying homage to the concepts of extended family and traditional Thanksgiving. JOSEPH N. BELL Tradition works in two directions. It gives uc; warmth, !>lrength, structure, certrunty, and a sense of identity that helps us remam steadfast through difficult limes. The last Thursday in November 1s alwa)'!> going to \ be Thanksgiving Day. whatever else may be happening to us. But It carries a downside, too. Because of all those virtues, tradition doesn't welcome any fresh looks. Whatever worked for Grandma can certalnJy work for us is the message. and we tinker with that system at our peril. OOUGlAS ZIMMERMAN I DAa.Y PILOT Volunteer Anna Arroyo hugs fellow volunteer Mane Lawson after she wms her wish by breaking off the bigger piece of the wishbone of the turkey. I don't like turkey very well, for example, and I find the pro~pect of two weeks of turkey leftovers deeply depressing. Still, I would never suggest a prime rib a'I the main fare on Thanksgiving. And so we will have turkey today as the rules require. . Offering up a feast What the rules don't explain to us is that we can manage quite nicely on tradition alone at Thanksgiving when thin~ are going well. But when the world is as troubled as it is today, and God seems to be off tending to other matters. we look a lot more wistfully for comfort to the people who grace our table on Thanksgiving Day. Deirdre N,. ...... ~., Daily Piiot M yra Valdez rummaged through a pUe of clothes that filled a long table, holding them LO front of her to see if they would flt. Soon, she had a pile of shirts of various colors and patterns stacked on her shoulder. Volunteers at St. Joachim give food, clothing and toiletries to hundreds at a Thanksgiving f east on Wednesday pie. They also got whole pies to take home with them. "This Is excellent,· Consoli said as she surveyed the satisfied crowd dining on their meals. Consoli said she hopes the attendance drops in the future as the need declines. Although they are also very much a part of our tradition, they can't be type cast as rigidly as the Thanksgiving turkey or Grandma's cranberry sauce. They not only share our human problems, but perhaps come to our table seeking the same comfort we do and are thankful - as we are -that they have a place that isn't threatening. a place where they can feel the balm of love applied to their concern'>. So maybe a pedal measure of sensitivity and energy is called for this year to bridge the distance between the traditional way we define the friends and family around our table and the people they have become since that defining was done. We will still reminisce and tell family jokes and dtiscnbe adventures at work and sneak a look at the football games on 1V and perhaps throw a football around ourselves. The mother of four came to the St. Joachim Thanksgiving feast for those in need Wednesday and was thrilled to see a smorgasbord of clothe!> as well as a hearty meal. "It's really nice what they're domg -the food and giving us clothe,,'· Valdez said. This Is the third year the parishioners have hosted the fe~t to share their abundance with the community, the Rev.

Gen.

Pete Wilson appointed Tum Wilson to replace Bergeson when she became the state's top educadon official. Wilson. the first non-Newporter In the seat since 1971, lmsnediately vowed to fight plans for an airport at El Thro. establishing the dividing line in the county that still awaits rapprochement. With that, the Newport~dominated Fabulous Fifth was pretty much over. The nail in the already-closed coffin came two years ago after the 2000 Census. Because of the growth of South County's population. the 5th District, with Wilson still at its helm. abi.fted truly south during redJstrk:ting, reaching only as far u Newport C.oast Drive. Newport was suddenly with Costa Mesa in the 2nd District Even more politically important, Newport now shares a district with Huntington Beach, which -whether you think It's a well-run city or can stand up to Newport's cache - bas about three times Newport's population. With that population comes voters. and with voters comes lnOuence. The potential scope of Huntington'a lnfJuence started to crystallize thJs month when 2nd District Supervisor Jim Silva. a former Huntington Beach mayor, and Assemblyman Tum Hannan, who represents Surf City. essentially ad:nowtedged that they plan to swap seats i.n 2.006 when Harman is termed out of his Sacramento digs. It's a powerful one-two punch, not only because both have the strength of lncumbency but because they are familiar names ln voter-heavy Huntington. 1Wo other names I've heald attached to a 2006 aupervtsor run are Costa Mesa Mayor Gary Monahan, who's publicly stated his Interest. and former Newpon Beach Mayor Dennis O'Neil. who has been quJetly mulling a run.

EDITORIAL We've come along way T he first American Thanksgiving feast was celebrated over a three-day period in 1621 in Plymouth, Mass., with European settlers sitting down with about 90 Native Americans to meals consisting mostly of wild game and fish. lhe fact the settlers were eating anything at all was probably the greatest cause to celebrate that year -the first winter in Massachusetts had wiped out fully half of the original Plymouth colonists. It was a far dHlerent lime of thanks in America than we find today. The gratitude expressed around the turkey in 162 I pretty much involved the very basics, such as "Boy. am I thankful I didn't get the smallpox this year," and "Boy. am I glad I didn't starve or freeze to death last January," and "Gee, am I grateful I rau faster than Bob when that bear was chasing u'>." Tunes have changed considerably since then, as have tl1e kinds of fortunes for which Newport-Mesa residents can count themselves thankful. There is, for sure, more to be grateful for than the gift of life. We can be grateful for a vast network of volunteers who provide goods and services for families and people who are faced with low incomes or who are homeless. Volunteers deliver IWlches to senior shut-ins, not just on holidays, but throughout the year. Other volunteers coordinate fund-raisers that benefit their churches, the YMCA and local schools lo supplement educational materials and equipment Year-round, volunteers help the American Cancer Society and lhe Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation by donating clothing and running in the annual Race for the Cure. At the holidays, they add toys and girt certificates to lhe list. Local service groups raise funds so that local charities can continue helping the homeless and less fonunate, putting together literacy projects for young and old. alike, and running programs for the developmentally disabled. And we can be grateful that we live in a commuqity that prides itself on its commitment to maintaining its quality of life and ensuring this is one of the best places to live As we sit down to whatever feast we've prepared for ourselves, let's hold one another's hands and say It like we mean it ~Today, I'm glad to live in Newport-Mesa."

EDITORIAL We've come along way T he first American Thanksgiving feast was celebrated over n three~day period in 1621 in Plymouth, Mass., with European settlers sitting down with about 90 Native Americans to meals consisting mostly of wild game and fish. The fact the settlers were eating anything at all was probably the greatest cause to celebrate that year -the first winter in M~chusetts had wiped out fully half of the original Plymouth colonists. It was a far different time of lhanks in America than we find today. The gratitude ex.pressed around the turkey in 1621 pretty much involved the very basics, s uch as "Boy, am I thankful I didn't get the smallpox this year," and "Hoy, am I glad I didn't starve or free1.e to death last January," and "Gee, am I grateful I nm faster than Bob when that bear was chasing us." Times have changed con siderably s ince then, as have the kinds of fortunes for which Newport-Mesa residents can count themselves thankful. There is, for sure, more to be grateful for than the gift of life. We can be grateful for a vast network of volunteers who provide goods and services for families and people who are faced with low lncomes or who are homcles_<;. Volunteers deliver lunches to senior shut-ins, not just on holidays. but throughout the year. Other volunteers coordinate fund-raisers that benefit their churches, the YMCA and local schools to supplement educational materials and equipment. Year-round, volw1tecrs help the American Cancer Society and the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation by donating clothing and runnJng in d1e annual Race for the Cure. At the holidays, they add toys and gift certificates to the List. Local service groups raise funds so that local charities can continue helping the homeless and less fortunate, putting together litera<..J' projects for young and old, alike. and running programs for the developmentally disabled. And we can be grateful that we live ln a commu'lity that prides itself on its commitment to maintaining its quality of life and ensuring this is one of the best places to live As we sit down to whatever feast we've prepared for ourselves, let's hold one another's hands and say it like we mean It: "Today. I'm glad to live in Newport-Mesa." Happy Thanksgiving. everybody. READERS RESPOND A cornucopia of gratitude AT ISSUE: Readers write in to say what they are grateful for this Thanksgiving season.

SOCIETY THE CROWD Being positive and thankful on this day ''P eople an! more powedUJ than the barriers they face.• said Da Rogal. president and CEO of Goodwill lndustrtes. Orange C.ounty. lbday Is Thanbtlfvtng Day. and Rogers comments at the annual Walter JCnott Service Award luncheon held at the Four Seasons Hotel. Newport 11-"' sJgnUlcant words of reOecdon on this all American hoUday. Tha.nQgMng really ls a universal celebcation, Its message one .----------. of unJty and that of reaching out to people of dlft'erlng backgrounds working together for the common good. It is a most B.W. COOK appropriate day to share the words and the feell.nga expressed at Goodwill's Walter Knott luncheon. A sold-out crowd in the Four Seasons ballroom celebrated Thanksgiving early sending the . universaJ message of the indomitable splrlt of mankind overcoming the worst that life can deal. Four people put the important thinp in life front and center as they accepted honors for their achievements. Jetee Blllauer, Trecy Broughton and Vallnda Martin, who are in wheelchai.rs after being injured in accidents, and RKhel Scdort.. who is bUnd, all received standing ovations for their inspirational words. Martin. a woman with a smile broad enough to light up the room, confined to a wheelchair as the result of a boating accident, la the owner of an art gallery and gilt store on Balboa Island she has named An for the Soul. *I feel blessed,• Martin said. *There are a lot of able-bod1ed people who cannot say that.• During a vtdeo of Vallnda Martin's .. ory, the crowd of mo.re than 500 Goodwill mpporten wiped away a tear when Martin thanked Mi father for hJs uoOqgln• support through her qrde41. "l don't believe in disabilities," she said. Martin wtJl open a 8eCOnd gallery in Laguna Beach this month.. The waiter Knott luncheon was guided by muter of ceremonJes Peter Sulfa. former mayor of Costa Mesa. A humorist with the later-day wit of a Wlll Rogers. Buffa said on a lerlous note. "That the most lmporunt thing we have Js time.• Blllauer knows the meaning of B~\ words. At the age of 17, a surfing accident destroyed his dream to become a professional surfer and placed him in a wheelchair u a quadriplegic. Now 2.4, the handsome surf dude wlth a &haved head and diamond studs in his ears made his way onto the Four Seasons podium in his chair to tell the audience that •life rolls on." and he's rolling with lt every lnch of the way. Blllauer's mother, grandparents and cousin were in the audience to suppon him. A video message from his dad, who was unable to attend, was featured. It was evident that they were inspired by hJs • affirmative attitude toward life, and equally evident that he was a young man fortunate enough to have a loving family behind him. Broughton, a beautiful young woman put in a wheelchair as the result of a car accident, refused 10 allow her situation to interfere with her ambitions in life. Broughton became Ms. Blad California in 2002, and shared her belief that the barrier of a wheelchair should not reduce people from living produ~ve and independent lives. ·1 wouldn't write my life this way," Broughton said. "But I wouldn't change it, either.• Powerful words from a person or tremendous inner strength. Broughton is the mother of two young sons. and will let nothing get in her way.

It was the story of a young woman with a gift, a passion. and a will to sUcceed. again lovingly supported by a CamUy. and In~ her father who has coached her since childhood= sport she loves. Anotherm of achievement against all odds. waiter Knott. the late founder of Knott's Berry Parm and an Orange C.ounty pioneer remembered for his civtc service, la often quoted with the admonJtion, "Whatever we vtvtdJy Imagine. ardently desire, sincerely believe, and enthuaiaatically act upon must eventually come to pass." His words echoed throughout the Four Seasons ballroom in the presence of his surviving daughter, Marlonc and her husband, 10ny r.Jontapert. Also in the crowd were other Knott family members, including DuTeJ Andenon of Newport Beach. Daniel Armstrong. chairman of the Goodwill board of directors, joined renowned local artist Bob Schur, Ra Hudler, Betty Belden Plllmer and Ronna Shipman, ln handling the p~nt.ations of the day. The massive event was chaired by a most capable Janke Markley, with support from an event committee that Included Cecelia Knott and her daughters Amy Knott and Trecy Gottlieb. MelanJe Flt.ch. Gina Pergwlon. 19d Baku, Zoe Hadley, Ann Sulllvan, Brin Trund. SuAn Tierney and Heather ICletn were also participating. Rogers tofd the gathering that it was a day to celebrate creativity, achievement and express.Ion. "We celebrate the human splrit and raise vital funda to Walter Knott Service Award 2003 honorees Tracy Broughton, Jesse Binauer and Valinda Martin, seated, from left, and Rachael Scdoris, standing, with master of ceremonies Peter Buffa. provide those with disabilities and other barriers, with job training placement and the tools to achieve individual success." he said. It was a day to reaffirm the importance of self-respect. And to put it bluntly, "The joy of earning a paycheck." Rogers said "Jn America. a good part of our freedom is tied to the joy of achievement. and the joy of independence," he said. Quite a message on this Thanbgivlng Day. As you join with loved ones to share the holiday meal, take a moment to share ln the bounty of blessings ~ your Uves.

Novembef 27. 2003 81 HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL Newport Harbor's Link is 2003 Player of the Year; Mesa's Ruiz, Waldron round out honors. P1trlck l1vtrty Daily Pilot T he hush that came over the Newport Harbor High crowd every time junior wide receiver Spencer Link touched the ball told as much as any statistic. lt was as if the Sailors crowd was saving up their energy for an ensuing roar, with !he expectatiqn that Link was about to do something special. He often did, turning short passes Into long touchdowns and mak:lng near-Impossible catches along the sidelines. H1s importance to !he Newport Harbor team, !he only Newport-Mesa school to make the CIF Southern Secoon playoffs. was actually magnlfied in !he Sailors' first-round loss to Los Altos. The C.Onquerors, who Uke most teams used a safety over the top of a cometback to cover Unk. were !he only team to shut out the junior receiver this season. Aa a result, Los Altos shut out the Sailors. But there was no denying that had tt not been for Link and his ability to tum short gainers Into Ions touchdowns, Newport Harbor would not have even had the chance to play top-ranked Los Altos. Mer a season In which he caughr Costa Mesa High's Omar Ruiz (32), the leading rusher in the Newport-Mesa School District this season with 1, 548 yards to finish a three-year varsity career with 2,330 yards, is the 2003 Daily Pilot Dream Team Offensive Player of the Year. 53 passes for 945 yards and 13 touchdowns, Unk bas been named the Daily Pllo!'s hlgh school football Player of the Year. He highlights a dream team of25 players from Newport Harbor, C.Orona del Mar, Costa Mesa and Bltaocia blgb achools. Also earning top Individual hol'lOri Were Costa Mesa senior running back Omar Rutz, the Offensive Player of the Year, and Mustanp junior linebacker Jeff Waldron, the Defensive Player of the Year. The team wu led by nine players each from Harbor and Mesa. with four players selected from what was an lnjwy-dddled C.Orona del Mar team and three selected from Estancia. which did not have a repl'eSelltadve on the 2002 team. In a season where the majority or teams, with the excepdon of Estancia. were led by younger players, there were 14 seniors, nine juniors and two sophomores selected to the team Newport Harbor had four juniors and a sophomore chosen, Mesa had four juniors selected and CdM had a junior and a sophomore on the team. One of the 14 seniors, Ruiz was another player who could often be counted on to make the big play. The S·foot-8 running back ran for a dJstrlct-hlgh 1,548 yards this sea.son end Onished his three-year varsity career with 2,330 yards. He was aided on offense by Waldron, who had 27 catche5 for 395 yards and four touchdowna u a wide receiver, but made hJs true Impact on defense. A standout rebounder on the basketball court. Waldron, an outside linebacker, wu one of Mesa's leading tacklers. but .seemed to make his most important Impact with turnovers. Aa an outaide linebacker In Mesa's three-five alignment, Waldron often dropped back Into coverage and came up with five lntercepdons. The Dream Team offense is led by Harbor junior quarterback Kasey Peters. who was on his way to a fantastic debut varsity season before his collarbone was broken In Week 7, late In the game against Aliso Niguel. As the man who delivered the ball to Unk. and often did so wilh strong precision, Peters was 69 of 125 passing for 936 yards and 13 touchdowns. Despite missing Harbor's last four games, Peters still led all Newport-Mesa quartel'backa In touchdowns. Joining Peters In the backfield ls his own running back. Sailors senior Matt Encinias, the district's second-leading rusher with 1,308 yards and nine touchdowns. Playing running back for the first time since his freshman season, Encinias literally carried the Sailors on his back at times. Uning up In front of EncinlaJ Is F.stancia senior fullback Bubba Kapko. who provided a span out of the backfield for !he Eagles. bolh as a blocker and a rusher. l(apko led Estancia with 601 yards rush.Ing and also scored nine touchdowns. At wide receiver, a pair of juniors joln Llnk to form an impressive trio that will all be returning next season. C.Orona del Mar's Kevin Welch proved himself on both sides of the ball for the Sea Kings. catching 28 passes for 591 yards and eight touchdowns and leading CdM with 74 tackles, three interceptions and two fumble recoveries. Also a standout volleyball player, Welch has already~ some Interest from UCLA and should be strongly recruhed next sea.son in both football and volleyball. At the other wideout position Is Costa Mesa's Jorge Quiroz. the Mustanp' No. l rece1vtn3 threat ln a run-oriented offense. Quiroz caught 27 passes for 472 yards and scored one touchdown. Blocking for this skill-position set ls a mammoth offensive line, led by three playen from C.Osta Mesa. including two Juniors. Mustangs center Luke Sapolu, the son of fonner San Francisco 49er and current Mustanp offensive line coach Jesse Sapolu, Is one of five SH TEAM, Pe1e 82 DAILY PILOT HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL PLAYER OF THE WEEK Sa,ami Khali ian Newport Harbor High defensive end looks to bulk up in the off-season after an impressive junior season.

"I'm faster going forward than they are going backward," Khallfian said. The junior was a part of three sacks in the lint half and two other tack.les that resulted in a loss. He teamed wnh senior tackle Mark Templt' for two sacks on one series that resulted in a combined los.'l of 25 yard!> after Los Altos had reached the Newport Harbor II -yard line He added an 8-yard sad with the help of senior tackle Austin Nieto late in the first half and recorded a sack In the second half for a loss of 3 yards. Next season. as one of seven retuning starters on defense. Kballfian will be one of the leaders of the squad. Because of the nwnber of returners. his expectations are high. "Personally I want to go all the way next year,· Khallfian said. "I think: we have the speed and agility. Now we just need to work on our size.· Building siz..e is prioriry No. I for Khalifian as he gets ready for next season, preparations which got underway with a Tuesday morning weightlifting session. Khall6an wants to add 20 pounds. while not losing any of his biggesl asset, hi'l speed. "That's going to be m y biggest goal. to gain 20 pounds: Khallfian said. •People would gel a hand on me and push me and that would run me off course. That's the only way they can disrupt my speed rush . I think if l gain 20 poundi., h will be a lot harder for them 10 push me off course." While he had much success on the field Liu!> season. the size difTerenual was notable against opponents like Foothill. Khallfian said. Linemen who combine size wllh speed could keep Khahfian out of the backfield. But after dominating Los Altos, KhaJHlan ends the 2003 season with 11 burst of confidence. "This game. going into It, I thought Los Altos mw.t be GoUath5. so I jlJ5t got myself really pumped up.· Khali.Oan said. ·I was shocked. Their offens ive line wasn't all that great." As a result, Khaliflan outplayed Los Altos defensive end Brigham HarweU, a preseason All-American who has committed to UCl.A. Khalifian's teammates wondered whether he was up to the taak m the week leading up 10 the gam~ and he proved he was. He's also proved that he was right on target when he declared, his freshman year, that he wanted to be the one to htt the quarterback. That young player ha!> turned into a football junkie. "Honestly, football is my life." Khaliflan said. "I eat, drink and sleep football. When we win. that's all I think: about all weekend. When we lose, that'i. all I think about all weekend Football probably takes up 70% ofmy Ufe." rlvsd.tf, Nowmbet n. 2003 83 CELEBRA TE ON THE BAY. THIS H OLIDAY.

JOSEPH N. BELL Tradition works in two drrections. It gives us warmth, i.trength. structure, certainty, and a sense of identity that helps us remain steadfast through difficult times. The last Thursday in November is always going to ' be Thanksgiving Day, whatever else may be happening to us. But it carries a downside, too. Because of aJJ those virtues. tradition doesn't welcome any fresh look.s. Whatever worked for Grandma can certainly woric for us Is the message, and we tinker with that system at our peril. DOUGLAS ZIMMERMAN I DAILY PILOT Volunteer Anna Arroyo hugs fellow volunteer Marie Lawson after she wms her wish by breaking off the bigger prece of the wishbone of the turkey. I don't like turkey very well, for example, and I find the proi>pect of two week.s of twXey leftovers deeply depresslng. Still, I would never suggest a prilll4t rib as the mam fare on Thanksg1vlng. And so we will have turkey today as the rules require. . Offering up a feast What the rules don't explain to us Is that we can manage qwte nicely on tradition alone at Thanksgiving when things are going well. But when the world is as troubled as it is today, and God seems to be off tending to other matters. we look a lot more wistfully for comfort to the people who grace our table on Thanksgiving Day. Deirdre N 1w ... ., Daily Pilot M yra Valdez rummaged through a pile of clothes that filled a long table. holding them an front or her to see U they would fit. Soon. she had a pile of shirts of various colors and patterns '>lacked on her shoulder Volunteers at St. Joachim give food, clothing and toiletries to hundreds at a Thanksgiving feast on Wednesday pie. They also got whole pies to take home with them. "lllls is excellent," Consoli said as she surveyed the satisfied crowd dining on their meals Consou said she hope the arrendance drops in the future as the need declines. Although they are also very much a part of our tradition. they can't be type cast as rigidly as the ThanJcsgiving turkey or Grandma's cranberry sauce. They not only share our human problems, but perhaps come to our table seeking the same comfort we do and are th ankful - as we are -that they have a place that isn't threatening. a place where they can feel the balm of love applied to their concern'>. So maybe a special measure of sensitivity and energy is called for this year to bridge the distance between the traditionaJ way we define the friends and family around our table and the people they have become since that defining was done. We will still reminisce and tell family jokes and descnbe adventures at work and sneak a look at the football games on 1V and perhaps throw a football around ourselves. The mother of four came to the SL Joachim lbank.sgiving feasr for those in need Wednesday and was thrilled to see a smorgasbord of clothes as well as a hearty meal ·11·., really nice whar they're doing -the food and giving us clothci.," Valdez said.

POLITICS ASIDE Not so fabulous anymore F or 25 )'Ml'I. govemlng. residents or NeWport Beach hid the fortune to be the dominant force In what came co be knownutbe "P&buloua fifth.· the county supervisor distttct that stretched along the coat from Newport to San Oemente. Gen. Tum O'Neil said he's not over-estimating his chances, wbJch be pointed out are limited by b1s lack or close ties to the county Republican Pany and personal wealth, as well as by his status as a former Newport Beach S.J. CAHN mayor who was notably Riley and then Marian Bergeson provided the city's power punch to county government That all changed In December 1996 when Gov. Pete Wtlson appointed Tum Wilson to replace Bergeson when she became the state's top education offidal. Wllson, the first non-Newporter in the seat slnce 1971, lmmedJatelyvowed to fight plans for an airport at El Toro, establishing the dlvldlng line in the county that still awaJts rapprochement. With th.at, the Newport-dominated Fabulous Flfth wa.s pretty much over. The nail In the already-closed coffin came two yean ago after the 2000 Census. Because of the growth of South C:Ounty's population, the 5th District, with Wilson sdll at its helm. ah.lfted truly south during redistricting. reaching only as far as Newport Coast Drive. Newport was suddenly with Costa Mesa in the 2nd District. Even more poHdcally Important, Newport now sh.ares a district with Huntington Beach, which -whether you thinJc it's a well-run city or can stand up to Newport's cache - has about three times Newport's population. With that population comes voters. and with voters comes Influence. The potential scope of Huntington's ln.Ouence started to crystalllze this month when 2nd District Supervisor Jim Silva, a former Huntington Beach mayor, and Assemblyman Tum Hannan. who represents Surf City, essentially acknowledged that they plan to swap seats in 2006 when Harman ls termed out of his Sacramento dlgs. It's a powerful one-two punch, not only because both have the strength of incumbency but because they are famWar names in voter-heavy Huntington. 1\vo other names I've heard attached to a 2006 supervisor run are Costa Mesa Mayor Gary Monahan, who's publicly stated his Interest, and former Newport Beach Mayor Dennis O'Neil, who has been quietly mulling a run. Monahan said he'd "relish the chance" to head into an election Oght with Harman, but that his decision to run will be based on factors other than Harman's candldacy. "It's just liU these guys can't get a real job," he said of legWatora who are going from state to local seats, adding that given the mess he sees the state ln, he wonders why they would want to return to local pro-El Thro airport "I think it will be a long time before Newport bas another supervisor," be said Plus. O'Neil noted, Newport is now a small piece to the district "I don't think Newport Beach has the political ln.Ouence it once had,• he said, while adding that such power ebbs and Oows. Seemingly, that power has ebbed for the time being. Where Newport will always have ln.Ouence is In the pocket book. of course. An extremely well-financed candldate from the city could best an open field by sheer strength of spending. Such an election would break down into a terrific internecine battle. We'll have to see if the powers-that-be are able to avoid such a brawl In 2006. A VIEW FROM SACRAMENTO On another front. I received a first-hand account of Gov. Arnold Schwarzenneger's inauguration from Corona del Mar's laura Dietz. "It went off without a perceptible hitch," Dietz told me in an e-mail. "The clouds kept the sun off the crowd, who was told to aMemble early." Security, she added, was incredibly tight "They even confiscated my towel (just in case the seats were wet), which is a first, at least for me." she said. Dietz also saw at least one reporter of note: "Judy Woodruff of CNN was wearlna-a red suit, chatting away with everyone she could, like columnist Dan Walters." And then, there was this: "Almost humorously, during a very quiet moment during the ceremonies. I and others felt a little shaking of the platform, concluding that it was a very, very mild earthquake as there was no other visible reason for the 'swaying,'" she said. "Overall, though, the ceremony was, as suggested, 'low key,' and the content of Arnold's speech was excellent," Dietz said. Dietz also was impressed by the non-Republican in the Schwarzenneger home. "The reading or a poem by Maya Angelou by 'Mrs. Arnold' -Marfa Shriver -was something or a surprise. (I don't know historically if other first-ladles-to-be dld the same thing, making some comments during the swearing In ceremony)," Dietz said "They are a very Intelligent. savvy couple.· • S.J.

EDITORIAL We've come along way T he first American Thanksgiving feast was celebrated over a three-day period in 1621 in Plymouth, Mass., with European senJers sitting down with about 90 Native Americans to mea.ls consisting mostly of wild game and fish. Tite fact the settlers were eating anything at aU was probably the greatesl cause to celebrate that year -the first winter in Massachusetts had wiped out fully half of the original Plymouth colonists. It was a far different time of thanks in America than we find today. The gratitude expressed around the turkey in 1621 pretty much involved the very basics, such as "Boy, am I thankful I didn't gel the smallpox thls year," and "Boy, am I glad I didn't starve or freeze to death last January,'' and "Gee, am I gralcful I m11 faster than Bob when that bear was chasing us." Times have changed considerably since then, as have tJ1e kinds of fortunes for whkh Newport-Mesa residents can COW1t themselves lharikful. 1 here is, for sure. more to be grateful for Ulan the gift of life. We can be gralefuJ for a vast nelwort of volWlteers who provide goods and services for families and people who are faced with low incomes or who are homeless. Volunteers deliver lunches to senior shut-ins, not just on holidays, but throughout the year. Other volun1eers coordinate fund-raisers tha1 benefit Uleir churches. the YMCA and local schools to supplement educational materials and equipment Year-round, volunteers help the American Cancer Society and the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation by donating clothing and running in Ule annuaJ Race for the Cure. At the holidays, they add toys and gift certificates to lhe li!>I l.ocaJ service groups raise funds so lhal local charities cru1 continue helping the homeless and less fortw1a1e, pulling together literacy projects for young and old, alike, and running programs for the developmentally disabled. And we can be grateful thal we live in a comrnuJ\ity thal prides itself on its commiunent to maintaining its quality of life and ensuring this is one of the bes1 places to live /\s we sit down to whatever feast we've prepared for ourselves, let's hold one anotller's hands and say it Ii.kc we mean it: loday. I'm glad 10 live in Newport·Mesa." I fappy Thanksgiving, everybody. READERS RESPOND A cornucopia of gratitude AT ISSUE: Readers write in to say what they are grateful for this Thanksgiving season.

We may find that the old baggage by which we defined these people was never accurate or is long gone, and such fresh insights couJd send us all home with a special feeling of thanksgiving. This year reminds me of other tlmes when we were collectively in deep trouble, and Thanksgiving seemed a kind of irony. That was especlaily true during the Great Depression when drought and d.laease and poverty and hunger were the order of the day. Thanbgtving dinners for those who couJd afford them were cpare, but families still collected to share resources and brace spirits. We helped one another during those years, often giving of what little we had to strangers whose needs were greater than ours. So In an odd sort of way, the spirit of t.banbgiving grew aJong with the trouble we were al) sharing. l don't have a great sense of that taking place today. Perhaps the weaJth or a few is obscuring the poverty of many. Perhaps the relentless good news being fed to us is obscuring the realities of war. Perhaps we have to reach a greater sense or urgency before the thanbgtvtng splrtt of the Great Depression kicks in. Meanwhile, we have the people around our festive table today offering a bridge to that spirit A bridge, by the way, that we don't have to wait for ThankasJving to cross. Both the Pilgrims, who celebrated the first Thanksgiving. and President Abraham Uncoln, who made It a national holiday, were looking at pretty bleak pictures at the time. Uncoin was trying to bring a fratricidal war to an end amid growing daily casualty lists when he set a day of national thanksgiving after two pivotal Union mWwy victories.

Petrick l1Yerty OailyP1tot T he hush that came over the Newport Harbor High crowd every time junior wide receiver Spencer Unk touched the ball told as much as any statistic. lt was as lf the Sailors crowd was saving up their energy for an ensuing roar, with the expectatiqn that Un.k was about to do something special. He often did, turning short passes into long touchdowns and making near·lmpossible catches along the sidelines.. His importance to the Newport Harbor team, the only Newport-Mesa school to make the ClF Southern Section playoffs, was actually magnified in the Sa1Jors' first-round loss to Los Altos. The Conquerors, who lilce most teams used a safety over the top of a comerback to cover Unk. were the only team to shut out the junior receJver th.Ls sea.sob. As a remlt, Los AltOI shut out the Sailont. But there was no denying that had It not been for Unk and his abllity to turn short gainers into long toucbdowm.

He blghllghts a dream team of 25 players from Newport Harbor, Corona del Mar, Costa Mesa and Emu)da bi8h schools. - Also earning top indJvldual honors were Costa Mesa senior running back Omar Ruiz, the Offensive Player of the Year, and Mtutangs junior linebacker Jeff Waldron, the Defensive Player of the Year. The team was led by nine players each from Harbor and Mesa, with four playem selected from what was an injwy-dddJed Corona del Mar team and three selected from F.standa. which did not have a representative on the 2002 team. ln a season where the majority of teams, with the exception of F.stancia, were led by younger players, there were 14 seniors, nine Juniors and two sophomores selected to the team. Newport Hubor had four juniors and a sophomore chosen, Mesa had four junion selected and CdM bad a junior and a IOphomore on the team. One of the 14 seniors. Ruiz wu another player who could often be counred on to make the big play. The 5-foot-8 running back ran for a distrlct·high 1,548 yards this season and ftnisbed bis three-year varslty career with 2.330 yards.

The Dream Team offense is led by Harbor junior quarterback Kasey Peters, who was on hJs way to a Cantutic debut van.lty season before his collarbone was broken in Week 7, late in the game against Aliso Niguel. As the man who delivered the ball to Unk. and often did so with strong precision, Peters was 69 of 125 passing for 936 yards and 13 touchdowns. Despite missing Harbor's last four games, Peters still led all Newport-Mesa quarterbacks in touchdowns. Joining Peters in the bacldleld is hJs own running back. Sailors senior Matt Encinias.. the district's second-leading rusher with 1,308 yards and nine touchdowns. Playing running back for the first time slnce hJs freshman season, Encinias literally carried the Sailors on his back at times. Un1ng up tn front of Encinias ls Estancia senior fullback Bubba Kapko. who provided a spark out of the backfield for the Eagles, both as a blocker and a rusher. Kapko led Estancia with 601 yards rushing and also scored nine touchdowns. At wide receiver, a pair of juniors join U.nk to form an impressive trio that will all be returning next season.

Now we just need to work on our size.· Building size is priority No. 1 for Khallflan as be gets ready for next season, preparations which got underway with a Tuesday morning weigbd.ifting session "That's going 10 be my biggest goal. to gain 20 pounds," Khallfian said. "People wou1d ge1 a hand on me and push me and that wou1d run me off course. Tha1's the only way they can disrupt my speed rush. I lhink if I gain 20 pounds, it will be a lot harder for lhem to push me off course " While he had much success on the field thJ~ season. lhe size differenual was notable against opponents like Foothill, Khallfian said . Linemen who combine size with speed could keep Khalifian out of the backfield. But after dominating Los Altos, Khatifian ends lhe 2003 season wilh e burst of confidence. "This game, going in10 It, I thought Los Altos must be GoUaths. so I just got myself really pumped up,· Khalifian said. "l was shocked. Their offensive line wasn'1 a1I that great." As a result, Khalifian outplayed Los Altos defensive end Brigham Harwell, a preseason All-American who has commined to UCLA Khalifian's teammates wondered whether he was up 10 the task in the week leading up 10 the game and he proved he was. Hes also proved lha1 Ile was right on target when he declared. his freshman year, that he wanted to be lhe one to hit the quarterback. That young player has turned into a football junkie. "Honestly, football is my life," Khallfian said. "I eat, drink and sleep football. When we win, that's a1I I think about all weekend When we lose. that'i all I think abou1 all weekend. Football probably takes up 70% of my life." TH IS H OLIDAY . Corne 101n us this holiday season hper1ence the pt•rf1'\ 1 meal with your family and fr1C'nd ~ <ll ThJnk~R1v1ng .ind Chr1.,1m.1c,.
