"I was druged. It wu duk and there were nois· es -people walking in and out of the -house-. -- "He had enemies," she said. "Someday the truth will oomc out." When asked why she allegedly brought a trash bes fuU of Bill Nelson's body parts to an Kqualntance's house Dec. 1 and of- fered laim S7S,000 to help get rid of it. she uid: •r didn't do that either:• Yet police apprehended Stainbrook at the acquaintance's house on Monte Vista A~n• after they found a bag oontaining Nellon's intestines on the front scat of his red Corvette, which she ,had driven there and puked out front. Police later found trash bags filled wi th Nelson's dismembered limbs at the oou- ple's Elden Avenue apartment and disc:ov- ered his head in the refrigerator. Stain- brook was arrested on suspicion of mur· dcr and is being held without bail. Police have not detailed a motive in the alayina. Al Esquivel told police that Stainbrook showed up at his doorstep · ab<Nt aoon that Sunday with blood-stained skin and a bizarre talc of how she killed Nelson b.o- causc he had tied her up and wu raping and beating her at their apanment. Stainbrook would not discuss her initial story when interviewed Wednesday and -ShM.-~ referred most questions to public de- fender Tom Mooney, who also refused comment. But Nelson's friends and co-workers say that despite a criminal record of tax eva- sion and conspiracy to smuggle tons of marijuana into the United States, Nelson was a ''very compassionate" man who "wouldn't step on a bug." "Bill was not a violent man," said John Fitzgibbon, a Laredo attorney who repre- sented Nelson in the drug smuggling case in the early '80s. See SUSPECT/ID,_ Benefit for soup kitchen nets $18,000 Someone Cares founder overwhelmed with donation By Iris Yokoi Stall Wrtter COST A MESA -A benefit dinner raised $16,000 for the Someone Cares Soup Kitchen Tuesday night, surpassing the initial goal of $10,000 and breaking the charity's donation record. Led by Anton Scgerstrom, guests paid $150 each to dine at Bangkok 4 restaurant in Crystal Court and provided the soup kitchen with the largest donation it has ever receiVed. The $16,000 represents about a third of the soup kitchen's total year budget, said volunteer Art Rordcn. "That's fabulous, outrageous," said Rorden. "Merle (Hatlebcrg, soup kitchen founder) was overwhelmed. When they handed her the check. she nearly passed out. She's never gotten that much money." The check will go toward finding a new home for the soup kitchen, which ~eds about 150 homeless and poor people each day. Earlier this year, Hatlebcrg learned the soup kitchen might be homeless itself with the news that the South Coast Christian Church's Rev. Bob Ewing, who helped bring the soup kitchen from the Rea Community Center to the church two years ago, would move to a Huntington Beach congregation at the end of January. With the uncertainty, Hatleberg has said she plans on working with city of- ficials to come up with an alternate site or raise enough money to· rent a building of ncr own, preferably in Costa Mc~. Silhouetted along with the pilings of the NeWR_Ort Pier, a lone surfer leaves the wAter at the end of the day. Meanwhile, donations of cash, food and gift.s are still being accepted tor the soup kitchen's Christmas Dinner, to be held from 12 to 4 p.m. on Dec. 24. /ns1d1! 1791*1991 See KITCHEN/llri ..... 58 school · district employees losing their jobs " Forrest Werner new bo~rd president By Russ Loar SUifl Wlllr Ten-year Newport-Mesa Unifietl ~ool District trustee Forrest Werner bccarQe the new school board prc5ideot Tuesday night, bringihg a conimitmcnt lb higher educational standards and increased fiscal scrutiny to bis position.

Wo haw already had one Friday the 13th thil yeu, iD • September, ud the supentltloua amona us an au.re that k Is to blame for whatever has pe wrong in our INa. Tomouow will double the wbammy. · But if you follow some ot the simple rules in today's column, you just miaht get throuah the day relatively unscathed. Friday bu always been considered the unl\lekieat day of the week. even tbouah " may belona to the TOIF cult. Friday is suppoledly the day when Eve tempted Adam with the apple, when f.loah'• Ark wu swamped. and it was the day when Ouilt wu crucified. Add to that the 13th and we are in serious tJ'Odble. Witches always got together for conferences in groups of 13 and Christ nt down ~ to dinner with 12 alleged friends -a total ot 13 .......... at the table -and one of them betrayed Him. MIE'8i But if yo~dafoUowh the rules, you·just may get -----through Fn y t c 13th relatively unscathed. If at lunch tomorrow, people ask you to pass the &alt, go ahead and pass 1t, but under no circumstances hand the shaker to them. Set it ____ .., down on the table. That way, if they spill the salt, Ibey will be hexed. On the coast Should you violate this dictum. you of course know to toss a pinch over your left shoulder. That's where your eVil spirits hang out. A horseshoe over your door works pretty well as an evil-spirit warder-offer. That's because one day some years ago, the devil dropped by a blacksmith to have a hoof re-shod. "OK." the smithy said, "I'll do it. But you have to promise never to enter a house with a horseshoe over the door." The devil's hoof \l(as hurting badly, so he agreed. "But xou guys better Qlake sure the prongs arc up, else the good luck will run out" Let's say you wake up tomorrow and the old joints arc creaky and sore. Rub a little earthworm grease on them and they'll feel great. Dig up precisely 12 worms and saute them until you get a good balch of grease. If you're into_farming, you know to planl your onions and po1atoes logethe~. That way the onion fumes make the, potato eyes weep and you don't have to irrigate. Words to live by in droughty California Surely you know belter than to walk under a ladder, on Friday the 13th or any other day. This is because a leaning ladder forms a triangle, which is a symbol for life. Walk through the triangle and you disrupt everything. Anolher theory has it that, in lhe days before gallows were invented, bad guys were hung from the top rung of a ladder. If you're going to a wedding tomorrow night, for heaven's sake be sure the bride wears a veil. Otherwise, jealous people can give her the evil eye and evil spirits will know who she is. Let's say you wake up to- morrow and the old joints are creaky and sore. Rub a little earthworm grease on them and they'll feet great. Dig up precisely 12 worms and saute them until you get a good batch of grease. Looking ahead to the New Year, be sure to get a kiss on New Year's Day, or you won't gel one all year. And be very careful how you behave on January 1st, because your conduct that day will determine how you behave all year. Fortunately, the lore does not indicate that the condi1ion of your bead on New Year's Day will have anything to do with bow you feel all year long. If you have a friend who's appearing in a play, by no means wish them good luck. Instead, say, "Break a leg!" But I guess if you know someone who's going skiing, you should stick to, "Good luck." Friday the 13ths arc tough to deal with, as Kenneth Grahame knew well when he wrote in "Wind in the Willows": " ... there arc a hundred things one has to know .. .I mean passwords and signs and sayings ... and plants you carry in your poclcels, and verses you repeat. .. all simple enough when you know 1hem, but they've got to be known ... or you'll find yourself in trouble."

Las Vegas-based Fletcher Jones Automotive Group completed ita Sll.5 million purchase of the bankrupt Mercedes-Benz dealer· ship, effective Wednesday. Signs were replaced in the morning to rcOect the dealership's new name, Fletcher Jones Motor Cars Inc., and the first of about WO al· located cars were delivered in the afternoon. The quick transition capped off four months of haggling over the former Jim Slemons Imports' bankruptcy and nearly two months or working to overcome the final complications in the deal. The Jones group garnered bankruptcy- court approval to buy the dealer- ship on Oct. 21. Fletcher "Ted" Jones Jr. said the Newport Mercedes-Benz fran- chise will be made the flagship of the $300 million (annual sales) Fletcher Jones Automotive Group. Jones owns a home on Linda Is- land and will serve as president and general manager of Flcti;her Jones Motor Cars. Jones said he will keep almost all of the remaining 150 employees of the former Jim Slemons Im- ports, and in building the staff back to about 180, he will hire back some people who left or were laid off. Newport resident Jim Slcmons, who ran into financial ~roblcms primarily because of losses in his non-automobile businesses, retains a Jeep franchise in San Clemente and a Volvo dealership in Hawaii. -By Tony Cox Chamber plans brunch "Christmas Around the World" is the theme for this year's New- port Harbor Chamber of Com- merce Dolphins Christmas brunch, Tuesday, Dec. 17 from 11 a.m. to Mlle~ Signs installers Gary Coo~r (lying down) and Dave ~our ~ply the finishing_ touches to the new Fletcher Jones sign Installed this week at the lormer Slemons Imports dealership in Newport Beach. 1 p.m. at the Hyatt Newporter.

In November, the City Council voted 4-0 to file a "friend or the. court" brief on behalf of Lori and Rusty Lusk and Concerned Citi- zens of Costa Mesa in their appeal of a 1990 noise ruling. By seeking to file the court brief, amphitheater officials claim, the city violated a settlement agreement to stay out of any legal battles involving the amphitheater and neighboring residents. City risk manager Karen Adams said the citr, was investigating the claim. Pacific Amphitheatre at- torney Deborah Nesset was un- available for comment. 11o1pn111ays on 40 COST A MESA -With the clo- sure of the College Hospital emer- gency room last week, administra- tive officials laid off 40 employees ranging Crom nurses to lab techni- cians and administrative clerks.

Partnen in the S62 million, 200,ooo...quare- foot lhoppina center at Harbor and Newport bouleYardl commemorated the toppin& off of Trian&le 59uare with a luncheon ceremony, compfete with city dignitaries past and present, rccopltion for the center's contracton and worken and an announcement of a time· capsule project. "Each new project that comes aJona seems to be the best at the time,', said former mayor Donn Hall. "I think we've finally reached the paint where we've achieved that crowning JCWel." Hall and other city officials were instrumen- tal in Jetting Triang]e Square off the ground. The caty subsidized the development by ac- quiring the 4.S.acre site through the Costa Mesa Redevelopment Agency. Developers of Triangle Square also heaped praise on the project, which has its share of critics.

But Richard Shapiro, a general partner in the project, attributed the criticism to igno- rance. He said he believes Triangle Square's uniqueness, quality and location make it highly desirable for prospective tenants. "There's no project like this in Orange County," Shapiro said. "This is not a mall, and it's not a striP. center. The tenant who is com· ing · here isn t going from project to project looking for the best deal. They want to be at HaJbor and Newport, in this kind ot project." • Five monthl before construction ls expected to be completed, about 70 percent of TrianglC' Square hu either been leased or spoken for in letters of intent, Shapiro said. " The only tenants that have been named so far are an eight-screen Edwards Cinema amt the Marina Market, an upscale grocery sto~ that will be located on Triangle Square's \Ill· deraround level. Shapiro said the center will ·· also feature a group of children's stores called Oiild's Play, unique specialty stores and Fare. on the Square, an open-air food boutique of- fering limited-menu venions of several I~ restaurants. Triangle Square is made up of five separate buildings that surround and shield from sight an 1,150-space parking garage. Although the project will result in more competition for shoppers, it is eagerly anticipated by many downtown retailers, who look forward to the increased traffic and nighttime activity Triangle Square will bring. The Costa Mesa Freeway extension, which will bring the freeway up to Triangle Square's doorstep, further enhances the project, Shapiro' said. "The freeway made it an incredible location because it made it a regional site," Shapiro said. "That changed the complexion of thts project." GRAND OPENING Why Pay Mall Prices?

The Truh Buh:• "The Dump Stomp •• "'Ibo Ball de Haul,"' "'lbe Oarbage Gala .. and the "Rubblsrun'en'a Rumble." thls annual black·tie extravaganza is regarded by us Damon Runyon types as tho premier social event of the holiday season. Speaking of wonderful characters straight out of "Guys and Dolls," this yearts invitation was extended by one of our county's most distinguished garbologilts, Stanley Tkaczyk, and his bubbly bride-to-be, cable TV producer Barbara Vene:zl1. Tkaczyk is vice president of Huntington Beach-based Rainbow Disposal Co., which makes our Orange Coast a cleaner place in which to live. Venezia is the founder-host of "Networking -----USA,'' which is adding channels faster than a video junkie. They're getting married on St. Valentine's Day •----• at the stately Village Crean, which may never recover from the spectacle. Item: There's talk that the handsome couple will make an entrance aboard a (thoroughly sanitized) rubbish truck -richly decorated, of course. Item: Instead of traditional wedding music, there'll be multi-ethnic ensembles, ranging from the red-hot California Connection polka band to strolling Italian street singers -with maybe a few stray klezmorim tossed into the stewpot. Item: There's some talk among Tkaczyk's colleagues that, followinJ the rites, the newlyweds might exit 'neath an arch formed by upraised shovels and brooms, and this will be further discussed during Happy Hour at Friday's banquet. Item: The catering will be lavish, with native delicacies ranging from kielbasi to osso buco. As for any overabundance of goodies, Ticaczyk isn't concerned because -as he's proud to point out - the Crean estate is on Rainbow Disposal's regular route, with a pickup scheduled next morning. There is a long countdown between now and St. Valentine's Day. and all wedding plans arc subject to refinement. Among the feverishly fertile friends working on the offbeat arrangements are Ruth (Ille Dngoa Lady) Ko, publisher of Orange Coast magaiine, and hot-selling author Danielle Kennedy, whose tome, "How to List and Sell Real Estate in the '90s," has passed the 500,000 mark. With creative friends like that, even the fun-loving bride and groom arc bracing for a few surprises. More scraps will be coming.your way, as fast as they're -collected. Meanwhile, if you're yearning for an invitation, you might start with a fan letter to "Networking USA" -or, at least, try being nice to your local trashman.

Staff, community receive A-plus in issues that matter T ~c annual Newport Beach Chrilla\IS Boat Parade does not JUSt happen. F'?r months before this year's opening night (Tuesday), business and community leader have been meeting to ensure that the parade will be a joy to watch and safe for .it ilwolved. ~ntil 1989, Bill Lusk was the perennial chamnao of the Boat Parade Committee. He would host the committee meetings each month in the cellar of The Ritz in Newport Center. or course, everyone wanted to be on the committee to be part or this prestigious group. But they soon found out t~cre was no free lunch - hundreds or hours or work and planning were _........,_, necessary to put on the parade. ..., The lunch meetings have continued this year, .-. but the venue bas moved from The Ritz to the .... Balboa Yacht Oub. Editor for the Day Ralph Rodbelm of Rodhelm Marketing Group is this year's chairman. He has spent untold hours coordinating the committees and assisting volunteers. Jim Dale or the Villa Nova Restaurant is in charge of parade control. He is assisted by the Harbor Patrol, the Coast Guard, the Coast Guard Auxiliary, the Power Squadron and members of the local yacht clubs. Bob Black of the Balboa Pavilion, Morrie KJrk or Alco Battery, and our Harbormaster, Harry G1ce. are assisting in parade control. Lt. Jim Jtnklns,USCG Paul Comally and Mike Dtladurantey of the Newport Beach Police arc also helping. Art Gronsky of Dunncs Marine Service takes care of logistics. He obtain the boats that are used as the turning marks and makes sure that the lights arc all working. Chuck Hirsch, assisted by Bob Wiicox, is assembling the judges from members of the Newport Sunrise Rotary Club and the l(jwanis Club. Rosalind Robinson of The Bank af Newport takes care or the finances. She will sec that the costs of the parade are covered. Kristln Thom of Rodhcim's office is handling public relations. KEZY is broadcasting parade information this year. Herrick Hanson or the Llnte Inn on the Bay, assisted by Don Yahn of Cushman-Wakefield, has been contracting all the bayfront homeowners, urging them to decorate their homes for the enjoyment of the parade participants. This is called the Ring of Lights, 'and the goal is to nval Huntington Harbor in the home decorating department. Olli Pierpoint or Monarch Business Systems has coordinated the publication of the program and the sale of the parade sweatshirt. These shirts arc available at the Newport Harbor Arca Chamber of Commerce, 1470 Jamboree Road, Newport Beach or call 729-4400 for other locations where the shirts arc sold. On Dec. 1, 1991, the New York Times selected the Christmas Boat Parade one of the top holiday celebrations in the country. The parade would not be a success without the planning and work that takes place each year. lf you have not entered the parade yet, applications arc stm available at the Chamber office. There are 19 prizes to be f"cn at the awards dinner in January. The dinner committee is chaired by Bob Sharulton of KPMG Peat Marwick and Bobby Comellus and Norm Loats arc helping to make the dinner a great success. So, as you can sec, the parade does not just happen. Many members are working hard so thar we may all enjoy this year's Christmas Boat Parade. A s 1991 draws to a close and I corrlplctc my year as school board president, I would like to share my perspective on the Newport-Mesa Unified School District with the community. Sometimes people and groups become overwhelmed by things that happen to them, instead or focusing on what really matters. I believe Newport-Mesa, during this past year, has focused more than ever on what truly matters. \Vhat happened -and therefore created ------newspaper headlines - President, NMUSDB during 1991 was ... The poor economy impacted us as it has almost every segment of the public, private and non-profit sectors. As many or you know, we arc a "basic aid" district and funded differently than most districts in the state. This can be a benefit because it means we get most or our income _directly from property taxes, so we arc not particularly affected by state budget shortfalls that severely hurt many other districts. However, we are affected when people pay property taxes late and when property values stagnate as has happened this year. As a result, the 1991-92 budget we approved last June had to be modified to reflect decreased revenue projections. County and state, public and private sector financial experts gave us the bes( available advice along the way, both as we built the initial budget last year and modified it this fall. We are now operating under a balanced, though tighter than anticipated, budget. What matters is ... Throughout the process of converting to a leaner budget, staff members, at all levels worked collaboratively and effectively to devise ways we could modify our activities to decrease expenses while leaving student programs intact and avoiding teacher layoffs. More importantly, what matters is ... We are aggressively focused on continuing to improve the way we educate students. "How can we engage each individual child in powerful learning experiences?" is the question being asked -and debated -and answered -throughout Ncwpon-Mcsa. This is the district's 25th anniversary as '.' unified district and we are using it as a springboard to the future. George Bernard Shaw said, "We arc made wise not by the recollections of our past but by the responsibility for our future." In In Newport-Mesa we are working together. in a present moment, so i, that classrooms needed for to- morrow will be created today in our schools. This is what matters. And it is happening. Newport-Mesa we are endeavoring to do just that -take responsibility for our future by preparing in our classrooms of today. Evidence or this abounds: Y' Since last January, the district has been involved in developing a strategic plan that incorporates the community and the stafrs vision for 1995-96. A draft of that plan will be before us this winter. We appreciate the many persons who have shared their ideas and look forward to the community and stafrs continued input to the draft document. Y' The school board recently adopted an updated Statement of Educational Purposes. This is the overarching policy document of the district. It is the result of hours of discussion about the role of our public schools in preparing students for the world in which they will live and reflects input to board members from hundreds of persons throughout the area. ~This summer's Management Team Workshop was entitled, "Creating Tomorrow Today," and launched the school year by challenging district administrators to remember they are members of an enterprise engaged in instructional leadership, where the ultimate task is to create schools electric with the excitement of educating children for the next century. ~ A District Professional Development Committee is meeting to "re-vision" the way professionals in our district are provided with the necessary tools to meet the needs of all students and to help all students fulfill their potential. ~A District Coordinating Committee for Restructuring is working to convey the energy, urgency and excitement of staff members cngaBed in restructuring efforts to others throughout the district. Their aim is to create environments that will produce students who arc active learners and creative, critical thinkers. Y' Staff, parents, and students at Corona dcl Mar High School arc using a restructuring grant the school received as a catalyst for open exploration or ideas and intense dialogue about educating students for the future. ~The renovation of Lincoln School, which will re-open as an elementary school this coming September, and plans to reopen Victoria School arc being used as opportunities for posi1ive improvement and the creation of technologically advanced schools. ~ Anderson, Harbor View and other elementary schools whose student bodies will be changed by the opening of the new schools are using this expected change as a platform for cngagfog in discussion about how they too would like to take the teaching and learning environment to new heights . ln these ways and others, throughout the Newport-Mesa Unified School District, dedic31.ed professionals are concentrating on educaf ng all of the children of all of the people for the world of tomorrow. In Newport-Mesa, we know the world -and our knowledge of the best way to prepare our students for that world -is changing so rapidly there are no static an!>wcrs to the challenges we face. What we can do is bring together capable persons of vision and insight so their combined energies can be leveraged and their talents synthesized. Is there high energy and engaged learning in every single classroom in our district on any given day? We know there is not. Do we have hundreds of skilled educators and dedicated parents and community members meeting in small groups and large with this goal in mind? Absolutely. I am pleased by that. As a school board, we have just said goodbye to Ken Wayman, who served on the board for 13 years, and to Tom Williams, who served for 8 years. We will miss Ken 's integrity and insight and perspective, and Tom's passion and focus. Dut on Dec. 9, we will be welcoming Ed Decker and Martha Fluor to the board, and we look forward to the contribuiions they will make. Henry David Thoreau in Walden described the concept of "today" as, "The meeting of two eternities, the past and future, which is precisdy the present moment." ln Newport·Mesa we are working together, in a present moment, so that classrooms needed for tomorrow will be created today in our schools. This is what matters. And it is happening. On behalf of the school board, I thank community members for the many ways in which numbers of you have been involved in all of these efforts. Together, we will continue to make a difference.

Even after 200 years, the radical premise of free competition in ideas requires an aggressive defense from ordinary citizens. As the Russian Revolution of 1991 has shown, however, the potential for expanding human freedom makes the effort supremely wonhwhilc. As newly liberated nations throughout the rar·Ounf former Soviet Empire work to draft theu new constitutions. they are almost uniformly moving toward the models of free marlccts, free speech, free press, llnd democracy that America has established. The interdependence of our fundamental economic. rcliaious, and Adam Smith's "Wealth of Nations." Competition -of people, systems of business organization, different levels of government, and ideas -is the heart of our American institutions of human freedom. The same model of energetic competition that underlies our free enterprise system is also the basis of political economy in the United States. This is so because of the ironclad guarantee in the First Amendment: "Congress shall make no law · ... abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press." Tilosc words were the touchstone of the Bill of Rights. As we celebrate the 200th Anniversary of the ~irst Amendment, we can be .Pleased with the world-wide emulation it has inspired -and concerned for its continued survival in our own republic.

SUSPECT: Woman disavows killing From A1 The 56-year-old ex-convict brought Stainbrook -a 23-year- old Egyptian national -to Lar- edo to meet Fitzgibbon several weeks ago. Fi1zgibbon said he liked Stain- brook and got the impression dur- ing the visit thaf she was a "k.ind of happy ... pleasant" woman. From the women's jail in Santa Ana Wednesday, Nelson softly asked a reporter to: "Tell (Fitzgib- bon) l said: 'She didn't do it. She didn't do the killing. She didn't do the killing.' " Although Nelson was technically still married to a woman in Santa Maria, he told Fitzgibbon that he and Stainbrook had married that weekend and were on their honey- moon. Fitzgibbon said Stainbrook was "very lovey dovey" with Nelson throughout the visit. "It will probably be on A Cur- rent Affair," Stainbrook specu- lated. "About how two people so much in love and on their honey- moon and then this happens. This nightmare. All in one month." When interviewed by anothe; newspaper Saturday, Stainbrook was apparently confused about why she was in jail and said she thought it was for some traffic vio- lations. On Wednesday, though, she knew the charge was murder. When asked just how it became clear to her that she was in jail on murder charges, Stainbrook said: "My attorney told me." From A1 Restaurateur Bill Hamilton, owner of the Cannery and Ma- larky's Irish Pub in Newport Beach, will donate about 100 hams and other trimmings for the dinner, which is expected to feed 800 people. But another Sl,500 is still needed to buy paper goods, in- cluding soup bowls, cups and utensils, and additional food But Stainbrook said she hasn't yet contacted her family, which supposedly lives in Cairo, Egypt. "I can't tell them," she said, be- coming emotional and teary eyed for the first time during the inter- view. "They wouldn't believe it. My mother -she'd have a heart attack. She'd go into shock.'' ' "l have no one," she said. "It's terrible to be here." Throughout the interview the petite dark- 'I have no one. It's terrible to be here.' complex- ioned woman in the gray jail uniform was calm and ex- pression- less except for an occasional smjle when she spoke of the honey· moon. It was only when Stain- brook spoke of her family that she appeared to become distraught - hangin~ her head to cover her eyes with her hand. Stainbrook is scheduled for ar- raignment Dec. 20. She is also scheduled to go before the court that day on some of the 12 traffic violations she has accrued since getting her California driver's li- cense in lune, 1989. Amons those violations are a hit and run and two drunken driving arreats. Stain- brook was also charged with steal- ing a former boyfriend's rent-a-car. Less than two dozen family members showed up for Nelson's items, Hamilton said. By helping defray the cost of Otrist.mas dinner, the $16,000 raised Tuesday can be Used for the "more permanent things." Hamilton and his employees also plan to give each person at the dinner a gift and are thus seeking donated gift items for all ages, from children to teenagers and adults. Suggested items in- clude toys, books and personal memorial service Monday In his home town of Stella, Neb., accord- ing to Glen Witzenburg of the Casey Witzenburg Funeral Home. Witzcnburg said the family will have to return later to bury the body since the Orange County Coroner's office hasn't released it. Nelson, who was employed as ~ computer programmer in Tustin, was initially scheduled to be bur- ied at his family plot in Stella ear· lier 1ast week. The coroner's office released his remains last Wednes- day, but recalled them later the same day without saying why. Fitzgibbon said Nelson's family was upset since most of them were already en route to Nebraska when the funeral arrangements had to be halted. "When you put a loved one to rest," said, Kathy Nelson, his wife or 12 years. "It helps to have a body there." Kathy and Bill Nelson were in the middle of a divorce whC"n he was killed. "Mrs. Nelson thought that Mr. Nelson was a kind and nice rhan," said Kathy Nelson's attorney, Joni Gray. "He was good to her. And she was fond of him. There was no violence. They just grew apart when he was in prison." Costa Mesa police Capt. Tom Lazar said they have not identified the murder weapon. "Obviously there were several cutting instruments in the home, and we've collected them," Lazar said. "But as far as identifying the murder instrument, we haven't yet." items such as perfume, sham- poo, toothbrushes, hair acces- sories and costume jewelry. Donations of gift wrapping paper are also sought. Donations can be dropped off at the soup kitchen, 662 Hamil- ton St., from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Friday, or at the Cannery, 3010 Lafayette Ave., and Malarky's Irish Pub, 3011 Newport Blvd. BRING HOME SOMEONE FAMOUS ••• -f' \ A Special Section Neighborhoods shine with the holiday spirit By Joyce Bodlovich Stllf Wlter J im Jordon, 39, of Costa Mesa says the whimsical holiday design he creates each Christmas is a "labor of love." For 25 years Jordon has decorated the front yard of his mother's house at 2269 Santa Ana Ave. in an engaging Peanuts theme. The animated wonderland has all the Peanut! comic strip characters, plus an elaborate manager scene and two doll hoUSC$ filled with soft sculptured dolls handcrafted by Jordon's wife. And from Dec. 18-23, Santa and Snoopy are on hand from 7 to 9 p.m. to greet the crush of holiday visitors. Jordon, who each year adds new pieces to the display, said it takes about 125 hours to set up everything. Material is donated by friends in the building industry. "If we had to buy everything, it would cost about $6,000-a-year," he said. "Officially we start about July with any new fabrication. This year we replaced Santa's sleigh with a steel frame." Jordan said he has always been captivated by the Christmas season. He began to decorate the family home when he was a student at Costa Mesa High School. His late father, a former Costa Mesa mayor, and ironic.ally an architect, played no role in the fantasy design. Jordon, who expects about 1,500 · to 2,000 children to greet Santa Oaus this year, said he has no plans to stop the annual tradition. "I have backed m~lf into a corner and can't quit," he said. "I guess you could call it a labor or love." For Newport Dench resident Jolene Engel, her Christmas extravaganza began four years ago. Newly married to businessman Dick Engel, the couple were prompted to adorn the exterior of their Beacon Bay home in anticipation of the ann~al Christmas Boat Parade. They hired Santa Ana~based Elf N' Magic to create a towering hot-air ballooned-Santa and his gifts to adorn the roof. "I had been in apartments as a single mom, and never had the opportunity to decorate," she said. 'And having the boat parade as my au~ience ... what could be better?" Engel also transformed the house's courtyard into a winter wonderland with twinkling flocked trees and an ice pond with animated skaters and carolers. "You were transported back to the Midwest and wintertime," she said. "I came from the Midwest to California in 1979 and it was hard for me to buy my first Christmas tree while wearing shorts.' Last year Engel moved to Belcourt community in Newport Beach. Because Belcourt is a smaller community, Engel said she tried to "tame down" her house trimming. This year's life-sized Santa is sculpted from plastic foam. He is accompanied by reinde-eramJ a toy-filled sleigh. Engel, who has a grown daughter, said the best part of the extravagant display is the response from the children. "I love to see the joy on their faces when they come by the house," she said. "They arc bowled over when they see the little carolers. It makes me feel good. 1 hope everybody in Belcourt loves it." • Dick and Jolene Engel's home in Newport Beach glows with hol- iday spirit for passersby to enjoy. The Peanuts gang hangs out at this home in Costa Mesa (right) owned by Jim Jordan. Christmas Tale Thursday, December 12, 1991 The Fleeman's home in fountain Valley (above) is a spirited sight of Christmas lights.

M artha beamed and waited impatiently until late in the afternoon for her dad to tell her it was time to go. In the car her dad asked if she wanted to ride the merry-go-round and seemed surprised when Martha said no. "How about a milk shake at Ruby's?" he asked. Again M~rtha ill¥ said, "No thank-you." She ~ a plan, and she wanted to ta1k to Jake. ··When they walked into the lobby, Jake was there behind his desk. •·Hi, Jake. Merry Christmas. Here's you r present. Can we go on the roof and look under th e star?" Martha breathlessly asked. ''Martha," her dad said sternly, "t told you we can't go on the roof." ·:·"Whoa, whoa, whoa," said Jake. "Hello there, Martha, Mr. Adams. Merry Christmas and thank you. I was ex~ing to see you in here. What•s all this about the roof?" "Jake, the Wise Men's star is on the roof, and that's where Babv Jesus, Mary and the cows are.1' "What, huh, whatl'' asked Jake, looking at Mr. Adams. "Martha saw the building's star last night, Jake, and decidea it was the Wise Men's star. We've been hearing 'We Three Kings of Orient Are' quite a lot lately," explained Mr. Adams. And he told Jake about the piano recital. When her dad finished, Martha looked up at Jake, and Ja1<e smiled a very patient smile back. "Sorry, Martha, your dad's right. It's very, very windy on top of the build ing -the Santa Anas and all -and you could get blown right off. I wish I could, but I can't take you on the roof. Folks who own the building wouldn 't like that much. We'd all get in big trouble." Martha felt tears welling up, 't?~Jr:-a~ C/ee c.f ea&'P.'f «/tl°i ~ 4daHCJ~.f. '· #t,~~?

"But Martha, I do haYe a littJe something for you," said Jake, handing tler a red-wrapped package that looked li~e a coloring book. Martha said a weak thank you, and just kept looking at the floor. ''D oyou want to make the rounds with me, Marthal" asked Jake. "No, thank you," replied Martha. Martha's dad smiled again at Jake and tool< her hand over to the elevator and up to his office. "Merry Christmas, Martha," called Jake. "Remember it's the best time of the year. All the angels come down to earth to malce miracles happen." When they came back down, Jake had a sign on his desk that said he'd be back in 10 minutes. Martha was so disappointed that she didrr't cheer up at all. She almost cried again when she Celebrate With Us! went back to bed that nistht. Even though Christmas was onTy two weelCs away, Martha looked sad almost every day. She helped her mom wrap packages, and she went to the carol singing at church, and she visited S3nta Claus wjth Alec and she did her Christmas letter to Santa. But she wasn't the same as she was last year. When her mom helped her write her letter to Santa, she just told her to ask Santa to let her see the manger under the Wise Men's star at her daddy's office. Her mom told her that Santa couldn't do that, but·that's all Martha wanted. She knew the manger was there, and she wanted to see it so badly that she couldn't think of anyth ing else to ask for. Because her daddy did something called taxes at work, he was working late during the week before Christmas. "Vear end , honey," he'd say to Martha's mom. "Everyone's ruShing to finish a deal." He did come home early on Christmas Eve, but mentioned that he'd have to run back to the office for a few minutes to sign some documents for mailing. Martha immediately begged to go. "Do you really want to go with me, pumpkinl" her dad aslced. "On ChristJNs Evel We won't be able to,go to the meny- go-round." •'That's OK. I can talk to Jake." S o Marth.a went with her dad jU5t after It Sot dark. The big star was shining brlaht white as they drove up lNt freeway, and Martha just stMed at It. When Martha and her dad entered the building, Jake wasn't there. A different man was behind the desk, and Martha didn't recognize him. Neither did her dad. He showed the new guard his wallet photo and signed the book at the desk, and up they went. "I'll only be about 30 minutes, Martha, so here's some ~per. You can sit and draw in the conference room. Draw me a picture of Santa, OK?" Martha nodded. She was very sad. She thought she could get Jake to take her onto the roof and under the star. But Jake wasn't there. She wanted to cry again. As she sat in the conf erena.. room, Martha thought and thought about the Wise Men's star. And as she thought, she got up and walked arouni:t the office. She knew the manger was up on the roof under the s\ar, but she couldn't get there.

She walked over to the door with the word EXIT oYe1 it These were the doOrs that Jake checked from the other side when she went on rounds with him. Martha tried the handle and was surprised that it turned. It was always locked when Jake tried it Martha didn't know that these doors always opened. out to. let people get to the stairways m case of an emersency. But they don't let people 1n. Martha stepped out into the stairwell. The door closed behind her, and she looked up many floors -up until the stairwaY. ended: Martha guessed that the star was up there, but she knew she shouldn't go up without her dad or Jake. Martha didn't want to be naughty, but she did want to see the star and the manger. Martha stood there for a rong time and then decided. She wouldn't go up, she'd go back in. Her dad and Jake had said the roof was off limits. So she turned back to the door and grabbed the handle. It wouldn't turn. She tried and tried and tried. But it wouldn't turn. Now Martha was a bit scared. Her dad didn't know where she was and Jake wasn't with her with his big ring of keys. All she could do was go up, or go down. F irst, she knocked. But no one came. Her dad couldn't hear her. And then she sat down and thought and thought and thought. She decided she would try other doors on other floors. Since sh e was closer to the top than the bottom, she went up one flight That door was locked. Then she went up another flight and that door was locked too. And then, another and another, and another. Every door was locked. Then Martha realized she didn't know which door and which floor was the one she cane out of. And then she was scared, just a little. So Martha did what her mom and dad had taught her to do. She said out loud her phone number, but there wasn't any phone, so she couldn't call home or dial 911 . She knew her address, but there wasn't anyone to tell it to.

The stafrway went up one more flight, but it didn't look like all other floors. The door up there was much larger and had a bar across it, and a larger word on it "ROOF," wnich she couldn't read but guessed meant roof. She knew she shouldn 't, but this door didn't have a handle, it had a bar across it and maybe there was a phone on the roof. She slowly went up, stood for a second. Before she pushed the bar1 she took off her shoe. She woulan't get locked out on the roof. She would wedge her shoe in the door. With her shoe in her hand, she pushed the bar, and suddenly big horns started to blow. She jumped and saw red lights spinning the stairway. "Well," she thought, "someone will find me now.'' So she stepped out on the roof and turned to put her shoe in the door. It was windy on the roof, but not that windy. And it was cold, but not that cold. And It was very bright. Martha looked up and saw a very la~ tower rising high above the building ancf there was the Wise Men's star. The horns were still sounding behind her as she walked toward the tower. Downstairs, Martha's daddy raced around the office. The horn was very loud, and he was very worried. He couldn't find Martha anywhere. The phone in his office rang and rans and rang. Martha's daddy picked it up. one more tlme 'lust In case he was wrong.

All the lights of the city and the cars moving on the freeways danced and twinkled. It was Christmas eve, and everywhere little colored lights shone.

"Say, would you mind telling Jake whenJou see him that Martha an Mr. Adams said thank·you and Merry Christmas?" asked Mr. Adams. "Jake Blosed? The regular night man?" asked the guard. ''Yes, that's right, Jake. Just tell him Martha ancf Mr. Adams said thank you and Merry Christmas." "I'd be happy to sir, but I · won 't be seeing Jake. He left, oh, two weeks-ago. Retired.

"What are you th inking, Daddy?" she asked. "About the manger up there. It's been so windy, Jake couldn't have put baby Jesus up there." "I know that, Daddy." ''Then who did, honey?" "The an~els, Daddy," replied Martha as 1f it was the silliest question she'd ever hea rd. Back at home, Martha rushed in and quickly told her mom about the star. When her mom heard the story and saw the manger, she looked at Martha's daddy, a question on her face. "Honey, I don't know," he said. "I really don't know. I guess the angels put it up there." And that made sense to Martha. Later that night, with the creche on the table next to her bed, when her mom and her dad had tucked her in and turned out the light, she said to herself, "Thank you angels."

Bruce RolJinson. third-year Mater Dci High football coach and Conner standout tailback and defensive back when the Monarchs last played in a ClF championship game in 1965, can reign upon the Mater Dei throne with true red blood. With assistance Crom Laurie Pichler, a close fric11d and faculty supporter, Rolllnson lived out a fantasy last Friday in Mater Dei's redemptive, 35-21 win over Loyola in the CIF-SS Division I semifinals: He wore his 26-ycar-old letterman's jacket, neatly stitched with the ornamental CIF 4-A championship patch, in honor of all those souls who hove spilled their guts on a Mater Dei football field since '65 and come up empty-handed in quest of a CIF title game. Although Rollinson had mentioned something to Pichler during a coffee break last Tuesday in the teacher's lounge, he was shocked to find his old jacket on the field when his familr and entourage came to greet him following the semifi- nal victory. 'We're His version this autum.n has taken the Monarchs (12·1) back to the CIF (inal, this time in the Di- vision I title conflict at Anaheim· Stadium -Fri- day night (7:30) against Eisenhower, the nation's top-ranked team according to USA Today. A fiery coach with a special flair for motivating players, Rollinson, 42, slipped into his timeworn letterman's jacket to display the fina l lace to a three-year overhaul. Rollinson said: "I just told Laurie Pichler, 'You know what I'd love to do? I'd love to win this football game and put on my CIF championship jacket for all those guys who've laid their guts on this footb11ll field and waited so long for a CIF championship game.' "I didn't think anything past it when I told her that, but when my famil y came down to the field, they had the jacket with them. I was overcome with emotion, so I just said, 'What the heck' and I put it on. "I don't think it's real characteristic of me, but I just fell a tremendous amount of pride at that moment for th is '91 team and all the teams th<)t have had the pressure of trying to uphold the. tradition at this school for so long." There are a few theories on how Mater Dei has soared to the top in only three short seasons under Rollinson after the winning tradition somehow got swept under the rug. ckl • • Rollinson, you could say, the godfather of Pichler's 5-year- old daughter, Caroline, is formulating a strong pitch to be- come godfather at Mater Dei. After having resurrected the football program, he-plans to take care of the future. "First of all, it took us two years to permanently dispel the idea that you ca n only play one way," Rollinson said. "Al - See MONARCHS/C3 Billy Blanton, the Monarchs' trigge r. ALL-SEA VIEW LEAGUE FDOIBALL -1991 · · · . ·'1' · · -• Newport's Finney nets MVP honor By Richard OUM Spal1S Writer OK, so he carried his weight this year, but that doesn't mean eating up two households. Brandon Finney, an All-Sea View League defensive rover last year, gained 15 pounds this fall during the football sea- son, a time when most players seem to struggle just to maintain their weight. Newport Harbor High, expected to be more of a throwing team as it entered the 1991 campaign, turned to Finney instead for a stable ground assault once quarter· back Mike Of er broke his collarbone in the season opener. "A lot went on my shoulders," said Finney, a 6-foot, 200-pound senior tail- back who was named the leafuc's of- fensive Most Valuable Player this season after achieving 1,194 rushing yards and 11 touchdowns on 254 carries (4.7 average). "I just accepted it and did what I could do." With the extra weight, Finney was able to carry the load on his shoulden u the Sailors went 7-S and advanced to the CIF Division VI quarterfinals. "I gained weight by lifting a lot and eat- ing a lot," Finney said. "Sometimes I would have two dinners and doing squats put a lot of weight on me. I'd have big lunches, too. "I'd usually go to my girlfriend's house and they'd feed me, then I'd go home and cat what my mom cooked. By that time, I was so stuffed, I'd just fall asleep. After football practice, I can cat a lot of food." He cat up a lot of yards, too. See FINNEY/C4 . -: ' .

CdM shoves into tourney finals, 49-48 By Barry Faulkner Spons Wnter WESTM INSTER -The lessons are beginning to hit home for the Corona dcl Mar High boys basketba ll team, which earned its third straight victory Wed nes- day night to move into Friday's cham- pionship garne of the La Quinta Aztec Classic. The Sea Kings (3·2) protected a JO. point fourth-quarte r lead to escape with a 49-48 !>emifinal victory over Cypress (3-3). maintaining the smile that is becoming more frequent on Coach Paul Orris' face. "We're making progress," said Orris, whose team displayed crisp offensive ex- ecution in building a 13-point lead mid- way through the second pe riod. "Now, l'd like to see us progress from the 40s into the 50s point-wise." Cypress appeared as if 49 wouldn't be enough to hold off its challenge, outscor- ing the Sea Kings, 15-4, in the final pe- riod, and missing a potential game- winning jumper from 18 feet at the buzz- er. "I was nervous hav- ing to face them, be- c.iuse they're such a guard-orie nted. free· lance offe nse," Orris said. "Out this is just another lesson for our kids, and that's why you play the prescason." The Sea Kings began the prescason in a shooting slump, but have come around, thanks to solid offensive execution, and more selective use of the 3-point shot. # CdM shot 51.S percent from the floor • (17 of 33) against the Centurians, though : they connected on only 5 of 15 field goal " attempts after intermission. • Cypress chipped away at the CdM lead • • by forcing the Sea Kings to the free-throw .. line, where they missed six straight during one stretch spanning the third and fourth quarters. CdM hit just 7 of 9 foul shots •• down the stretch, but Jason Clark drilled • both ends of a one-and-one witl'I 3:36 to provide the eventual winning margin. "We missed a ton of free throws and easy inside shots, wh ich was a matter of being tired," Orris explai ned. Cypress, substituting freely, took advan-• tagc of the Sea Kings lack of depth (play- ing only eight players, and only seven c;c- tensively) by pressing the entire fourth ~uartcr to increase the tc~to their lik-• ma. .. The Centurions, however, shot only 41.8 1 percent from the field (IS for 43), and al- lowed CdM to run off nearly two minutes on the Sea Kings' final possession, before foutlng. and rebounding the missed front end of the one-and-one.

The Mon-archs have lost Brenda Yecke four returning starters from a team that captured the Angelus High school girls basketball season before losing to Marina for the third time, 57-54. "We're missing some critical game experience," admitted Mater Dei Coach Brenda Yecke. "We have one returning starter, and she missed the entire summer with an injury.

First off the bench ·last year but expected to be an instrumental starter this year is Shannon Roghair, a small forward. "We're looking to he~ to provide some floor leadership," said Yecke. Dawn Gawronski is another vital part of the Monarchs' attack. A power forward, she played well in spots last season. "Dawn has scoring potential and is a good reboundc.r," said Yecke. "We need her to step up and play a key role for us this year." Junior Heather Lee, a 6-foot·l center, and point guard Monica Wong also figure to see plenty of playing time this season.

It was fantastic to see the interaction between the playen. The common bond, athletics, is very evident. Tuesday was Disneyland day and, despite the rain, the Japanese teams loved it. On Wednesday, our girls took the Japanese with them to school which was very interesting.

EAGLES: Amat next in Tore consolation round Thursday From C1 La Quinta by 20 points wasn't going to prepare them for down the road. We'll hold our own in this tournament. We won't get blown out. "This one was close until late in the fourth quarter." Lakewood, considered the best team in the Moore League this year, was a loaded shotgun playing against a one-bullet revolver. It outscored Estancia in the second quarter, 20-10, an d tore off a 13·0 run to start the fourth quarter and end matters permanently. "With the exception of one player (Matt Fuerbringer), we were overmatched," O'Brien said. "Fuerbringer was tired - he was our only guy. We bad one bullet and that was it. He really got no help from anybody." Fuerbringer, a 6-foot-7 senior who scored a game-high 26 points, rebounded six times and added four blocked shots. He scored 13 points in the first quarter as Es- tancia kept pace, 20-20, during the opening eight minutes. Jeff Byrne scored his only field goal of the game to start the sec· ond quarter, a short Jumper that gave the Eagles a 22-20 edge. Lakewood, taking advantage of six Estancia turnovers in the quarter, followed with a 16·4 spurt thanks to Mark Dell's praiseworthy de- fense and shooting. Bell netted his first of two 3· point shots with 3:52 left in the first half, then nailed another 32 seconds later. Seconds later, he stole the ball at midcourt and drove the distance for a layin to give Lakewood a 36-26 lead. "Lakewood beat Morningside and Morningside was No. 1 in our division (CIF lll·AA), so theoreti- cally, we're not going to face too many teams as good as Lakewood in the playoffs," O'Brien said. "This tournament is probably tougher than · any CIF division bracket." And Javon Rouzan, Lakewood's 6-8 senior center, is probably as tough an inside player as the Ea- gles will find this season. He fin- ished with 25 points, 10 rebounds and a pair of bl<><;ks, but it was also 6-6 Eddie Cochran {11 points, five rebounds and two steals) and guard Mike Moss (eight points, five steals and four assists) who caused plenty of chaos. Estancia, down 47-33 in the third quarter, used a mild 7-0 run to inch within seven and outscore the Lancers, 10-7, in the period, but Lakewood held nothing back in the final eight minutes, pouring it on to the tune of 18-8. Estancia meets Bishop Amat at 4 p.m. on Thursday in the consola- tion bracket. TOURNAMENT OF CHAMPIONS First Ro"nd &..kowood H, Eatancl• 48 ••tanca.

MONARCHS: 'Rad Alllblda' ·has them bick· at Big A From C1 ways, and I say none ot this in criticism of anyone before me, I've felt that it's a 48-ntinutc football game and there arc enough good athletes to go both ways and it's our responsibility to put the best athletes on the field. I believe at 17-or 18-years-otd that you can do it. "When we played, our goal was to never leave the field and now I have some kids who are sorely dis- appointed, even on special teams, if they're taken out and they be- lieve that way." Rollinson will put his condition- ing program up against anybody's, and although quarterback Billy Blanton and a cluster of excellent receivers represent Mater Dei as a team with a glamour offense, it's a bullheaded defense that has put Mater Dei in the final. "The second thing that has changed things around is that I made a move with defensive coor- dinator Eric Johnson and now I truly believe that defense wins championships and I'm an of- fensive-minded coach," Rollinson said. "Since I turned the defense over 'to Eric, the defense has just done a phenomenal job."

Piii lllcftnlln Boating But by 1 o'clock, the wind ta· pcred off to just enough breeze to get the class A boats started and across the line. B class start was aborted with a race post- ponement. The race committee decided to restart and send B and C classes out toward the ocean to attempt to sail their courses. For class D, the committee reversed the course and sent the boats to an inside the bay course. But with an absence of wind, the class found difliculty changing sides to start (the inside course was in the opposite direction) with most of the competitors caught on the wrong side of the line, resulting in a General Recall (that's when the race committee decides that too many boats started early and arc unable to call them all back, there- fore resulting in a brand new restart for everyone). Unfortunately, no one wu able to finish by the sundown time limit. Perhaps BYC can make some aacrifice lO the wind &Ods. or maybe a call for Garblno Otalian) or Ups {Greek), ancient south- west winds for the next Sunkist, the first weekend of January. 0 Balboa Yacht Oub held its installation of new offic:en for the upcoming year Saturday night.

Estancia frosh, Newport JVs off to quick starts The Estancia High freshmen boys basketball team and the New- port Harbor junior varsity have something in common -each started the season with five straight victories which included a tournament championship. Estancia defeated Foothill, Woodbridge and Edison in the final to capture the Eagles own freshmen tournament last weekend. "This is a good group with some talent but no great players," said Estancia freshmen coach Kenny Keup. "They played with a lot of heart in the game against Edison." The Eagles were paced by the efforts of center Josh Arons, a fine scorer and rebounder accord- ing to his coach, and Tom Feeney. "It was a real team effort. We got the job done defensively," said Keup. Estancia is currently involved in the Garden Grove freshmen tournament. The Eagles won the opener of that tourney on Monday night to reach tonight's semifi nals at 6 p.m. ..... .......... .. Lightweights • The Newport Harbor junior va rsity has also opened impressively, capturing the championship of the Santa Ana Tournament with a 40-38 vic- tory ove r EJ Modena last Saturday. The Sailors also defeated Lakewood and Diamond Bar. Forward Mike Eadie, who averaged 17 points a game in the tourney and was a force on the boards, was named Most Valuable Player. Point guard Chuck Archbold was another standout, doing a good job running the offense as well as scoring, according to Coach Garinn Morton. Morton stressed, howeve r. that his team is not relying on one or two players. "In the five games we've pl:iyed so far, we've had three different guys as. leading scorers," he said. "I feel that all five of our starters are capable of scoring." The next big test for the Sailors will be the Dana Hills junior varsity tournament shortly after Christmas. •The Newport sophomore team opened the season at 1-2, while the freshmen team captured three of its first five games. 0 Corona del Mar's junior varsity collected third place at the re· cently-completed Tustin Tournament, winning two of three games in its only competition through early this week. The Sea Kings defeated Muir in the opener, lost to a tough Ir· vine team in the semifinals, then handled Trabuco Hills in the third place game. ''We're a typical early-sei:.son team," said CdM Co:ich Craig Collins. "We've got a few things to work on as we go." Matt Evans, who is e>.pccted to be elevated to the varsity in a short time, averaged 11 .3 points in the three tournament games and was named to the all-tournament team. The leading scorer for the Sea Kings thus far has been junior Chris Quinn with a 13.3 average. Sophomore Jeremy Mape has av· eraged 10th points so far. •The CdM sophomores lost their season opener against Mis- sion Viejo by two points while the Sea Kings freshmen dropped their first two games at the Los Alamitos Tournament. 0 The Estancia High JVs reached the championship game of the Fountain Volley Tournament before bowing by nine points to Cap· istrano Valley. To reach the final, Estancia turned back Long Beach Wilson and host Fountain Valley in the semifinals: The Eagles have been sparked by forward Joel Warrick, who has averaged around 15 points and 12 rebounds a game thus far. Other key players have been forward Clay Frienz and point guard Roger Sison. "We're still short in bodies," said Estancia JV coach Rich Boyce. "We've only had six kids at practice. A couple of the kids have been sick, but once we start getting some people back, 1 think we'll be tough." 0 Four members of the Newport Harbor freshmen wrestling team placed at the Fountain Valley Tournament recently. Taking first place at 152 pounds was Ricky Beauboues, while Greg Chatterton was runner-up at 145. Collecting third-place hon- ors were Frank Ortega at 160 and Jeff Olah at 171 poun~s. As a team, the Sailors finished in fifth place in the 16-school ) tournament.

In 1990 alone, over 1.6 million cars wer~ stolen nationwide, an average of over 4,600 per day. In the Los Angeles area, the nation's leading vehicle theft r~· , the total is over 440 vehicles per da hirty-five percent of all cars stolen are never recovered, and those that are found have usually sustained a significant amo~mt of damage. B1J.ilding on four decades of macwfacturing experience, Kenwood U.S.A. Corporation has expanded its line of car security products with the addition of the KSV-700 Teletrac-compati ble Stolen Vehicle l ocator Unit (SVLU). Manager Mark Endres of cellular & Teletrac products, Kenwood's mobile electronics group, said Kenwood's move into~the vehicle locator service arena is a natural extenion of the company's car seci/rity systems. "With the astronomical increases in car theft across the country, and pa ularly in Southern California, we ~~" need to offer a product that goes ~d traditional car security systems," Endries said. ' ·~rofessional thieves know how to bypass even the most sophisticated car alarm system, but with the KSV-700 and Teletrac Stolen Vehicle Locator Service, the consumer stands a much better chance of revove~ing the vehicle, before serious damage occurs.'' l<SV-700 has a manufacturer's su ed retail price of $599-699 and wi be available through authorized KenWood dealers in September. Q{lce installed in a hidden location in the car, the Kenwood l<SV-700 unit is aulatically armed whenever the owner lea the car. instant the car is stolen, the KSV,;rOO sends an emergency signal - via "~letrac's antennas -to the Teletrac Conlrol Center. Teletrac sends the vehlcie's information and location to the polJQe, so thy can ~in tracking the car right away, often betore the owner is aware that it's been stolen. The Teletrac Stolen Vehicle Locator System was developed over a seven-year period as Rirl of a multi-million dollar research an<l development program. Currendy ~ating in Los Angeles, Oran~, Riverside; and San Bernardino counues, Teletrac plans to expand its services to 24 of the largest U.S. ~litan areas over the next three years. All Teletrac services are provided by International Teletrac Systems, Inc., a- privately held company headquartered in Los Angeles. The charge for T eletrac seer.Ace ls approximately S 15 per month; spedal prlclng pac~ages are also available. ,•. • •• • •• f!ut your money : · In the ·. i. right hands. . ' ..... . Oass, Eh America's motorhome has options for a hot tub and washer and dryer. under 6 years are free. There is a special senior price of $5.00 Monday through Friday only. The Anaheim Convention Center is located at 800 W. Katella, across from Disneyland. The featured motorhome is built by Class, Eh America (a division of Class, Eh Canada) of Moses lake, Washington, whose name evolved from the Canadian exclamation "Eh?", as in "This vehicle's got class, eh?" The modem, heavy duty truck, in commercial use, is expected to make it to the one million mile mark with minimal need for repairs and service. Imagine a motorhome buiJt tp the same standards and what you have is a rig that will la.st a. lifetime, or two. Some of the inherent advantages of the custom truck conversions are stability in hiRh winds, no loss of power on hills, excellent fuel economy and a low center of gravity for road hugging performance. The standard air 6rake system is the safest anEj easiest to maintain system around. The fact that it is in use in commercial trucking around the world confirms that fact. Don't worry about needing a special license to operate one of these rigs, either. All you need is a class five license with an air brake endorsement. Class, Eh will pay and arrange for air brake courses. For more information on this deluxe motorhome or the sports show in general, please call (714) 999-8900. NEW AUTO GUIDE Acura NOIM ltHVU OOAITA&.

Low on oil? It could mean worn rings An early sign of engine wear is excessive oil consumption, usually accompanied by blue-black exhaust smoke. A common reason for this condition is worn valve guide seals, according to the Car Care Council. The valves in a typical engine may open and dose as often as 100,000 times per hour at highway speeds. The stem of the valve, sliding up and down in its guide, is fitted with a special seal designed to permit only a limited amount of oil to pass. (Some oil is necessary for lubrication.) When these seals wear or harden, oil burning begins. Many of the conditio~ which cause an engi ne to bum oil prematurely "'are due to vehicle neglect. Piston rings, for example, can wear out prematurely because of the owner's failure to change oil and filter regularly. Worn rings lead to excessive oil consumption. There's only one satisfactory cure for worn ringt: major engine work, which normally is accompanied by replacement of bearings, timing belt or chain, valve guides and other worn internal components. At that time, valves are ground or replaced. This procedure, combined with a complete tune-up, usually will return the engine to nearly new performance. Remember, excessive oil burning is a condition that gradually worsens and can affect other aspects of the engine. Like so many other car troubles, earty detection and correction are essential. For more information, contact the Car Care Council at One Grande Lake Drive in Port Clinton, Ohio, 43452, or call (419) 734-5343. • The 189-hp, 24-valve engine of the all-new BWW 3251 sedan Is guarantied to take your breath away, and with a·n extremely affordable lease and financing Rrogram, the monthly payments are guaranteed not to.

Be sure to baste with a marinade to help prevent the meat from dring out, but do not use the same marinade mixture that contained the raw meat. Also, thicker cuts of meat do well with roasting which also helps to soften the fibers of leaner meats. Dtnlte SC11n/oa 11 • rqlstcnid dktltlaa la prlralt practice.

A year later on the Fourth of July, Scarpa enlisted eight canoes to join him in the parade -all decorated with Japanese lanterns. ln the summer of 1913, the Illuminated Water Parade awarded prizes for the best decorated boat, and by 1915, the parade had grown to 40 boa14. One boat was towed into the harbor and set on fire -complete with underwater explosives and fireworks. After the outbreak of World War I, Scarpa lost bis gondola to creditors and went back to Italy.

It is interesting to note that each or these designers has achieved their A.I.F.D. certification (Amer- ican Institute of Floral Design), designated as the highest mark or excellence in the business. Consid- ering that there are only 500 such designers in the world, it is virtu- ally unhear.d or to have three work- ing for the same company. And, apparently the word is out. Florists come from all over South- ern California to attend the Chris Lindsay School of Floral Design, which Ken Senter teaches in 3- hour sessions on Wednesday eve- nings at the Costa Mesa facility.

Everyone who gave was happy to do so, but perhaps not for the typical reasons. After all, how many charity events feature five · slammin' alternative rock bands and six hours of virtuaJly non-stop music? For three cans of food and a measly eight bucks, you JOl an evening's worth of cntertamment easily worth three or four times that price. Discount charity, great concept. Craig McGahey, one of the organizers of this year's event, to be held tomorrow night at the Costa Mesa Community Center, says the careful balance of charity 'l·s Christmas time, a time when people are into this sort of event.' ---··-Benefit for the Homeless organizer and rock will be the key to success. "Some of the kids are coming just for the bands, but I hope people are comin~ for the whole package, the music and the cause," McGahey said. "They're both important.

McOahey said the bands playing this year's show represent a cross-section of today's , alternative music environment, and offer fresh sounds and ideas. Headlining this year's event are The Dickies, one of LA. 's piqneer punk bands aJong with X and Black Flag. Also on the bill are The Mummies, who hail from San Francisco; the Mono Men, native to Bellingham, Wash.; the Muffs, an OC/LA collaboration which, for those keeping score, includes two ex-Pandoras; and Orange County's ::i own Black Creep and Olivelawn (the only band returning from last year's benefit). The cott of this year's event is $10, plus the requisite th.rec cans of food. McGahey and his colleagues hope to top both the cash and can donations from last year. "It's Christmas time, a time when people are into this son of event," McGahey said. "We can hold 1,000 people, and we hope we fill it up."

THEATER It's been an eventftll yaar at local lheaten Editor's Note -This is the first in a series of six colW1JnS reviewing the year in theater along the Orange Coast. T o say that 1991 was an eventful year in local theater might be understating the point. Certainly there were enough "events" sprinkled -- in among the nonnal theatrical activity to fill the news columns as well as the entertainment pages. The Orange County Perfonning Arts Center celebrated its fifth anniversary and gave local audiences their first peck at four new musicals, ,. 1'1111 Theater Critic including a record-setting three-week run of "Les Miserables" and a two-week glimpse of the hot new "City of Angels." Not to be outdone by its big brother in Costa Mesa, the Irvine Barclay Thuter on the UCI campus threw a fabulous bash to mark its first year of existence - and offered some first-rate locally cast productions of "Pacific Overtures" (by the Irvine Civic Light Opera) and "West Side Story" (the first UCI show at the Barclay). . South Coast Repertory continued to provide pl~ts with world premiere producbons of their new plays, and on at leut three occasions -"Pirates," "Moonshadow" and "Sight Unseen" -did so most impressively. And, after postponing a planned production of Shaw's "Heartbreak House" 25 years ago, SCR finally mounted it in an outstanding interpretation. Two longtime artistic directon bade farewell to their respective theaters in 1991. Douglu Rowe wound up his quarter of a centwy with the Laguna Playhouse after announcing bis retirement at the beginning of the season.
