The council also helped orchestrate a series of library orientations, to facilitate use of the library by local students. Unlike gifts that may lose their luster after the holiday season, such presents will shine throughout the year, attesting to the value a community places on a fine library and the materials and pro- grams that make it so.

Estancia (8-3), pinning Stockdale of Bakersfield to the mat early, earned a 53-30 victory on its home floor. But don't be fooled. It was 51-14 before third stringers played. ll<><>i>'-1 While Estancia shot the lights out in the first quarter (9 of 12 from the field), Stockdale (3-5) did not get a single rebound. •I thought in the first three quarters we played pretty good defense," Boyce said. ·we're a fun team to watch." Brandon Casillas, a 6-foot-5 senior fo~ard whose ann span is probably the same, had the best numbers in the Eagles' blowout with 13 points, 10 rebounds, three steals and three blocked shots. Oh, and by the way, that was. in three quarters. •When (Casillas) plays smart, he's one of the best 'Players on the floor," Boyce said. "That's another fine game for him, two in a row now. He just needs to stay in the game mentally, because sometimes he fades in and out. But sometimes he's as tough as they come.• Stockdale had no defense for Casil- las. He scored ol1 a turnover for a 7-0 lead, sank a short jumper on the fast break for an 11-0 edge, then tapped in a missed shot for a 17-2 Eagle advan- tage. Culllas' big blow came with 2:01 on the tint-quarter clock, a three- pointer that gave Bltanda a 20-2 lead Bltancia continued its full-court pren in the MCODd quarter with Ryan SimJ>IOll and Evan 'lllboada up front for traps. The Bagle blitz resulted in a huge halftime lead (39--10), capped by senior Mark Buon.aniai's long jumper with 0:37 left.

AN A -BOYS HOOPS HEIM Costa Mesa High's Mustangs have definitely seen all they want of the Saddleback High Roadrun-~rs in boys basketball, after dropping a 56-40 decision in the tint round of the Canyon High boys basketball tournament Thursday afternoon. It was the third straight game the Mustangs have been faced with Saddleback -having met the Roadrunners in a tournament game on the Costa Mesa campus, followed by a scheduled non- league game the following Tues- day. And now in the opening round of the Canyon Tourney, another meeting. Mesa won the first time by 12, but subsequent duels resulted in a 14-point loss and Thursday's 56-40 defeat at the hands of the 7-4 Roadrunners, dropping Costa Mesa (2-7) into today's consola- tion round at 3 p .m. Six-foot point guard Matt Chaisson, entering with a 15.1 scoring average, led Costa Mesa wiiji 16 points, but from there it dropped off sharply. Saddleback's work on the boards early and often proved to be the biggest thorn in the side of the Mustangs. TODAY PUIUC NOTICES PUBLIC NOTICES PUBLIC NOTICES PUBLIC NOTICES PUBLIC NOTICES ...........

Acting distinguishes movie version I hung up the phone smiling. I bad just been called to review •Tue Crucible,• one of my favorite stories. I went to see the movie with my friend, Heidi, at Big Newport's Stadium Theaters. Those are incredibly awesome. Every seat is a good seat, and the arm rests move up and down to make the seat more comfortable for cou- ples. Of course, I put up the arm rest to take up two seats and be extremely comfortable while watch- ing a classic tale of witch· craft, truth and so-called justice. The movie started out differently than tl'le play. KaUe Hodetler The audience witnesses the "witchcraft" for themselves. Abigail Will.lams (Winona Ryder), along with the other girls in town, are dancing in the forest by a fire when discov- ered by The Rev. Parris (Bruce Davison), Abigail's uncle. The next morning, two of the dancing girls cannot wake and a rumor of witchcraft Is floating around. The movie wasn't as great as I expected it to be, although a few scenes toward the end had me squeezed into 11 tight ball in one of my cha.irs. It also was not exactly like the original play, but Arthur Miller did write the screenplay, so lt remained his sto· ry. Daniel Day-Lewis did an excellent job portraying John Proctor and Ryder was chilling as the manipulative Abigall. I did like the movie, but it Ls a second to the original play. It you haven't read or seen the play, then the movie ls definitely worth seeing. • KATIE H051"ITUR. 17 I Is a Newport Beach resident and a junior et Newport Harbot High School.
