Serv1n4 the Newport Mesci cornmunrty since 1907 Planes, .horses and automobiles Like snapshots, the images of 1997 are a piece of history now, collected, sorted through, put away for safe keeping. The crash on Irvine Avenue, the late-night acci- dent that claimed the life of a young Newport Harbor senior and left two others in grave condi- tion ... a community ler. to figure out its larger meanings ... a young woman named Amanda emerging from a coma, going home ... another student facing criminal charges ... a community at emotional odds. The battle over El Toro, perhaps the largest land-use war in county history. TOP 10 STORIES 1 El TORO -Lawsuits tlew, consul- tcmts raked in big bucks. attack plans were unveiled and, just as often, hidden. Some thought lhe county supervisors' December 1996 vote to pursue airport plans for the El Toro Marine basP had en ded lhe · lt>nse debate between pro-au-port Newport Beach and anti-airport Soulh County. But the year began w1lh a lawsuit from South County nttes challenging the county report thdt recommended making an airport of the dosing base, which sits just east of lrvine. Newport Beach· offi- cials tured a $1 5,000-per-month con- sulting team to help with airport plans -adding to the $5.5 rpillion they've spent on airport issues since 1981 • A pair of high-end retail centers celebrating their 30th anniversaries, eaGh adding on more and better and finer and oh-so-exclusive stores for the occasion. A. school superintendent named Mac packing up his bags and his charisma and moving off to Texas, his work undone, his lasting reputation still gelling. And a sea lion named Sinkie who barked and slobbered and commandeered a boat, the three . enduring elements that made him a media hero in Newport H~rbor. From the tragic to the uplifting, from the poignant to the hilarious, 1997 was a year of surprises, jolts and joys. Here are our choic- es for the most important stories of 1997. -THE EDITORS 2THE CRASH -The saga .of the Chevy Bla7.er crash that left one N ewport H arbor High School stu- dent dead and two others seriously injured did not end with the crunch of metal on lrvine Avenue on May 23.

Or a long-neck Bud, o r a Coors, a phenomenon I have never understood. In my sudsy days, Schlitz and Pabst were premium brews (along with the aforementioned Budweiser and Miller). Now they barely exist, at least in these parts. Laundry soaps are another major category in which there have been huge chdnges. The · biggest, of course, bemg that nobody uses soaps anymore. We use detergents. I could care less, but there was something so special abo~t Lux sodp that even now I remember it fondly.

Comedy is failed attempt at poignancy J ack Nicholson plays a misog- ynic curmudgeon with a penchant for obsessive-com- pulsive behavior in what I hope will not be .. As Good As It Gets" at this winter's box office Although the monochromabc audience of Newport Beach appeared prediiposed to like the caviling humor and the occasion- ally believable pathos of the sttua- tions and dialogue, for me it often seemed forced, if not contrived. The basic setup of this sttcom, I mean movie, is that Melvin Udall (Nicholson), author of 62 books, lives in a high-rise dpartment building for the fairly rich and modetately famous, leaving 1t only to dine in the same restaurant, at the same table, each evening. Carol Connelly, played-with visceral palpability by Helen Hunt, is Udall's waitress and bare- ly tolerates his offensive behavior: But something in the music tells you that she will learn to. Simon Bish- op (Greg Kinn- ear), for the most part, functions as a living, breath- ing,.straight- line for Udall's verbal assail of non-straight men. And Bishop's dog, Ken Bucchi spurned by Udall at the beginning, is the thread that will tie them all together. . The cracks m the sidewalk that Udall obsessively avoids-are sym- bolic of what is most wrong with this film -everyone's motivation seems to fall between the cracks. From the outset of this varied tonal film, which is sporadically marked with poignant revela- tions about the hwnan condition by the consummate director (James Brooks) of character-dri- ven films like "Terms of Endear- ment" and "Broadcast News," it 1s obvious that there is but one direction it.can travel -the grddual huma[lization of Udall.

Oh, didn't l meption that I'm a big Mary Tyl er Moore fan. • KEN BUCOtl live, in Balboa and is a personnel analyst for the city of Los Angeles and a published author. Beguiling film is 'As Good as it Gets' Back in the Midwest, we had an acronym for embarrass- ing relatives -FHB (Family Hold Back). It applied to the aunt who "helped" by pouring the gravy into the hostess' lap; the son whose feet always crunched a treasure underfoot; the raund}y uncle who showed up at the wrong time and always said the wrong thing. You get the idea. Then there's Melvin Udall! A mesmerizing example of an FHB! Udall is an obsessive-compul- sive writer of highly successful romance fiction, living well but · reclusively, in a swanky apart- ment. He's racist, homophobic, iconoclastic, sexist and -worst of all -he hates dogs. He IS rude, opinionated, a thoroughly obnox- ious character-and a pussycat Wlder the unhappy exterior. Played with consummate • craft and crafti- ness by Jack Nicholson, he's the hero of the Christmas Day release of Columbia Tu Star's beguil- ing "As Cood As It Gets." James Brooks directs with his lisucll empathy for Eleanore Humphrey his char.acters and a strong hand on an exemplary script, fine edit- ing and other production vcllues The film is basically about relationships and how nurtunng them, even in unlike ly and diffi- cult circumstances, ct1.11 enrich a person's life. It's all cloaked m what seems the zany format which appeals to Nicholson. the actor, but with refreshingly sound logic as it moves forwdrd.

My friend and I stopped off at the comer cafe recer1lly to exchange Christmas giftS. It was nice to be able to sit and chat with my friend without the noise of a television or the clatter of busy servers. Afler settling in with our gourmet coffees, we decided to order some dinner. My friend had the Zorba the Greek sandwich ~$5.75) served with chips and choice of green or fntit salad. The sandwich was tasty, with Greek feta cheese, Bermuda onions, olives, capers, tucumbers, red leaf lettuce and Roma tomato on sourdough bread. I had the half sandwich, half salad ($4) with four-cheese veg- gie sandwich apd Caesar salad . The four-cheei;e sandwich was substantial with four types of cheese and a plethora of vegeta-. bles. The Caesar dressing was tangy arid sweet -a real nice addition to the romaine lettuce, sJl!edded Parmesan cheese and herb croutons. Their other sandwich is fresh turkey or lean ham ($5.75) piled tugh on sliced wheat bread with lettuce, tomato, sprouts and cheese. All salads are $5. Cornerstone also has Wednes- day night Bible study for all denomindti<>ris, and serves coffee all day long. Live music is fea- tUied occasionally. . • ' ¥.

Actions will always speak louder than words, but words are a beqm- ning. Joey Bishop is so nght on the mark when he simply and elo- quently asks for love to replace hate. Dardie Dunlap is on the same track. We wouJdn't have drive-by shootings or postal ram· pages -or in the extreme, we wouJdn't·have bombings such~ the horror inflicted in Oklahoma -if individuals had more of a sense of sell-worth and connec~ tion to others The child killed by the stray gang bullet couJd be the chlJd of the person pulling the tngger. Why is that so difficult to consid- er? The woman filing papers at the Alfred P Murrah Building at the tune of blast could be nm McVey's next-door ne!ghbor -a woman who might have given him cookies after school as a child. Is thls so hard for him to unagine? ln other words, people are individuals with reaJ lives, real worth. They are not, we are not, invisible. So let's.all take that into consideration in 19~8 before we spelik unkindJy, before we let our owrt hostility and anger create hann Let's all f1$e to a greater sense of purpose, a higher level of humaruty And then, let's make s:>od tlungs happen • 8.W.
