JE$1CA GARRISON lkftPb NEWPORT-MESA -Some school board members said Fri- day that, realistically, they may have to consider some sort of bond or parcel tax to raise enough money to fully modern- ize and repair the district's aging schools.

They hope the district will be able to find another way lo foot the repair bill. Each and every board mem- ber -except board president Serene Stokes, who is out of town -stressed that school officials will explore fully every other pos- sible funding source before ask- ing the community to approve its first-ever school bond. After months of suspenseful waiting, the time to start making decisions is here. Next week, private consul, tants will finally deliver to school board members a massive report detailing exactly what is wrong with all the district's aging schools, and how the commµnity as a whole feels about the district. The big question is not how much the repairs and moderniza- tions will cost -board members said the price tag could be more than $100 million, and possibly more than $125 rriillion.

But what many of his fans don't know -and would probably be flab- bergasted to learn -is that Maurer himself is a follower of an icon not nor- mally associated with the punk scene: Jesus Christ. · A devout member of Costa Mesa's Rock Harbor Church, Maurer tries to read the Bible every single day. About three years ago, Maurer experienced "a resurgence • of religion in his life. He stopped 'drinking beer and focused all his energy on his fami- ly and his religion. On a recent European tour with the all-female band Forgasm, band mem- bers were so taken by Maurer's reli- gious beliefs they dubbed ,him "God Boy.• From England's punk clubs to Ger- many's rock stadiums to gatherings in Croatia, .where he e ncountere d skeptical Serbs, fans would approach him after concerts and express shock over the cross he wore on tus jacket. His transformation, from beer- drinking punk rocker to sober, family- oriented m usician, may seem like a long, strange trip. But Maurer main- tains it was, in fact, a short and com- pletely inevitable journey. ,First of all, he said, it is wrong to assume that the punk scene, because it attracts flocks of rebcllious, pierced and painted young people, is antitheti- cal to Christianity. The punk scene, he said, has gotten a bad rap over the years. When he was a young misfit, pierced and painted before such mark- ings were considered cool, construc- tion workers and police used to beat him up because he looked different. They asswned, because of the way be looked, that he was diabolical. But m fact, said the still-pierced Maurer, be has always been a Christ- ian at heart. He grew up in a Catholic family, and actually joined a Christian church right high school. But then bis life took a different tum. An old friend of his from elemen- tary school, Mike Ness, had formed a band called Social Distortion. Maurer joined in, just as the punk scene -in all its rebellious, drug-using. society- hating fury -was hitting U.S. shores. Maurer said the members or his band were never deeply involved in drugs. •we couldn't afford cocaine," be said, referring to the band's years spent scraping by, living in a van.' ·1 never really saw a lot of hate and angst in the punk scene.• he said. "Socia) Distortion is by no means a Christian band ... but we did a lot of love songs.• "J never realJYsawa lot of hate and angst in the pUnk scene. Social .Distortion is by no means a Christian band ... but we did a lot of love songs." JohnMMlrw Social Distortion bassist and devout Olristian DON lfACH I OAILV Pl.OT Nevertheless, Maurer concedes, he was not •a mature Christian" in his heyday as a rock star. •1 was in the pit,• he said. He drank. He lived in a van. He stayed up late. He got out when his second son was born three years ago. (He has a ·10- year-old son who has a different moth- er, whom he sees often.) ·1 didn't want my son seeing me drlnkIDg beers and watching TV dur- ing the day,• he said. "I didn't want him to have to deal with that. But I did- n't know where to go. I needed some tools. And I used prayer.• His wife of seven years joined a prayer group, and before long, the two started attending chW'ch every Sun- day. But Maurer said he did not really find his home unbl he found Rock Har- bor Church. The first time he met Pastor Keith Page who has quite a few piercings ~lf. as well as an impressive pair of sideblims, Maurer said be felt an immediate affinity for him. He and his wife, who have lived in Newport Beach for the last seven years started attending Rock Harbor Churdt. "It was a glorious day,• he said. Then one day after services, Page approached Maurer and asked him to 1iave coffee. /. Maurer was utterly touched. Here he was •just some guy• and the pastor wanted to have coffee with him. They went. They hit it off. And the rest is his- tory. "He has worked miracles on our family,· Ma~ef'581d·. Page bas become his role mode1, he sald. J Maurer stresses that he is still the same person he always was. He still plays in the band. He just returned from a month-long European tour with another band. He bas his own record label. and is also involved in some on- line ventures. "I'm not going to get on a soap box and preach,• he said. ·rm not the judge and the Jury.• In fact, he sees the relentless evangelism of some Christ- ian churches as ·a problem." Nevertheless, his outlook on life and his politics have changed subtly, he said. ·1 can't be tolerant of a lot of things now," be said. Punk star Marilyn M~nson's blas- phemous image offends him, he said. And on a recent trip to Amsterdam, for example, he was appalled by the open prostitution and marijuana use there. But Maurer also said he doesn't believe there is a contradiction between his punk past and his Christ- ian present Jesus himself, he said, was sort of a punk. •He hung out with pimps, prosti- tutes and lowlifes,• he said Maurer, summing it up, said be has handed tus life over to Jesus, but "I'm still a rebel.• FAITH CALllDAI INTERFAITH PROGRAM Michael Phelps will present the •Dead Sea Scrolls" at noon Wednes~ay at St. John the Divine, 183 E.

WHAT'S UP week and used my lucky pen to write the lineups. It's a good thing I'm not superstitious or I would have been a basket case this entire season . Managing 12 girls who range in age from 8 to 11 is tough enough without the a~ed ele- ments of b<jlys. adm.i.ntstrators and budget cuts. That's simply my way of sayin!J to all you teachers out there and that ~ · aon't know how you do it. I don't know how, but I thank you. Al the flrst team meeting last February, one parent, Cathi I iartwell, told the other parents that thell' kids will "learn a lot• under my tutelage. In truth, I am the one who has learned much. I've learned that my daughter, Bean, has her mother's inner reserve of strength. She did not quit the team when she could have and she did not give up try- ing to learn h'ow to hit. Her bat is very hot light now and she has turned into quite a good little catcher. My goal from day one was not to wm a lot of games, but to make sure that every girl on the team enjoyed the experience so much that she wants to play agam next year. So, I tried to maintain a bigb level of fun. Our practices were only one hour when other teams kept their girls around for Cl!\ hour and a half. I A few parents ques~oned 'our short practice policy, so I told them I would rather have an ') , hour of fun than an hour and a half of practice. "Practice• sounds like a ptano lesson and we all know bow much fun those arc. I tried to keep the games fun by m.txing up positions as much dS I could without nsking too many defeats. We won anyway. I learned early on that even the girls who required the most coaching wanted to win and were willing to be team players to do so. I wjll always remember them for making my job so much easier. I learned that kids will do Just about anytlung u it's fun. They'll learn bow to play softball as easi- ly as they will learn how to play the piano or clean their rooms - if it's interesting and fun. That's a good thing. We should be fun and kids should have as much fun as they can before we grown-ups remind them constantly that life is not fair or fun. And I've learned that I don't have to drive six hour~ to clear the cobwebs out of nw head. What I was looking for was right here in town.

ORANGE COAST COLLEGE 2701 FairView Road, Costa Mesa, CA 92626 +I Sabdcry, Junes. 1999 ~cro • Newport Beach's Bob and Beverly Lewis have history by the harness at the Belmont Stakes. GRBC Rl!.uNG !Wtfb No matter the outcome today at the Belmont Stakes, a Newport Beach couple will be part of its prestigious racing history, for bet- ter or worse. Bob and Beverly Lewis, who live in Udo Isle, will send out their 3-year-old chestnut colt, Charis- matic, which will attempt to become the 12th horse to sweep the illustrious 1\iple Crown. lf Charismatic beats the 11 horses hying to spoil hls party in New York, the Lewises will receive a SS million bonus for the achieve- ment, plus an estimated $600,000 in first place purses. • g achievement •The economics are the least of our consideration," said Bob Lewis, speaking from his hotel room on Long Island. ·we're aruc- ious to see the race and hope we can come up with a ll1ple Crown winner." Portune has been kind to the couple before. 1Wo years ago, they had another horse, Silver Charm, who went for the Thple Crown but came three-quarters of a length short. , With today's race, the Lewises become the third owners in thor- oughbred history to have two shots at the Triple Crown. The previou's two, Belair Stud and Calumet Farm, were victorious with their entries in the 1930s and '40s. Should Charismatic fail, the Lewises would have the dubi- ous distinction of losing twice. •nie odds of this happening to us are astronomical,~ Bob Lewis said. •we lost it once before, but win or l0&e we will be happy. Not many people can claim they lost $10 million that is really out of theu hands." The couple has faith in their connections, trainer D. Wayne Lukas and jockey Chris Antley. It was Lukas who told Bob Lewis several months ago when Charis- matic was struggling that the horse would be best suited for the Belmont if he ran in the Thple Crown. The Thple Crown is comprised of the Kentqcky Derby, Preakness and Belmont Stakes, restricted for 3-year-olds and run over a five- week period. Winning the set of elite races can be compared to winning the Grand Slam events in tennis, taking all four majors in golf and achieving the ntple Crown in baseball. The last llorse to win the Triple Crown was Affirmed in 1976. Charismatic is only now get- Hf 1\VY Ci Bl [ (flfdj ting the recognition he deserves. After being dismissed at odds of 31-1 in the Kentucky Derby, bettors sWl didn't believe the horse could snag the Preak • ness, letfuig him off at 6-1 . Although he is the 2-1 morning line favorite today, it wouldn't surprise Charlsmatic's owners if he isn't the bettor's choice come race time. •He is the Rodney Danger- field of 3-year-olds, • Bob L-ewls cracked. "He's gained some respect, but there are still many doubting Thomases. You have to win. and that is what he's done." . . It has been another whirlwind ride for the couple, who have been busy promoting the sport. After opening the New York Stock Ex.change on Friday morn- ing, the Lewises appeared on a live CNN broadcast, Ulen went to Belmont to see how their champi- on was faring.

As most neighbor relations go, fnendships are born and pleas- ant greetings are usually exchanged, unless there is an ornery pet or someone exceeding the appropriate decibel level. -· The Rirnpaus couldn't have imagined the generosity their friends, Bob and Beverly Lewis, have shown since living next door to them since 1983. On Thursday, the couple flew to New York as guests of the Lewis- es to watch what possibly might become a piec.e of racing lore. Ed Rimpau and his wife will be among about 50 people in the Lewis entourage when Charis- matic attempts to become the 12th horse to sweep the elusive Triple Crown. The Rimpaus will be right next to their neighbors once again, Uus time screaming madly when race time arrives. The couple have traveled with their neighbors before. In 1997, when another Lewis horse, Silver Charm, was trying for the same feat, Ed and Jean were treated like royalty. Flown on a private jet, the Rirnpaus stayed at a five-star hotel, were carted around in limousines and' given prime seats for the race. "The atmosphere is like going to the· Super Bowl,• Ea Rimpau said. HWhen we were traveling around in those limos that had the horse's name on the side, people on the street were cheering and wishing us the best of luck. It was amazing .... But the Lewis.'s charity went beyond an exclusive set of fanu- ly and fnends Bob Lewis invited the 1et pilots and the 16 limo dri· vers to the race. instead of sitting and waiting, the lucky gwdes went shotgun -first class. Those who have worked with the Lew1ses echoed their neigh· bors' praise.

He invited his mother to the ceremony, along with an aunt and uncle who are also members of Piecemakers, None of them showed up.

Julie Millington, Donna's eldest daughter, described going to dinner at the Piecemak- ers' and having practically everyone talk to her but her motber. The Piecemakers l.Jve com- munally in six homes in Mesa Verde.

Sonnenberg has counseled former cult members. Three of those who said" they stepped away from cult-livtng came from the Piecemakers. ·cults tend to divide the fam- ily for the purpose of focusmg the thoughts of th<' t.ndividual on the cult," Sonnenberg said. Family members who aren't emotionally attached to cults are seen as people who will dis- suade the member from pa.rnc1- pating, he said. In religion-based groups, these •outsiders• dre often rel~rred to as "evil" or the·· dev. il," Wlutsett said. the Bible will also be used to justify the group's practices.

People who do fall into cults are usually vulnerable m some way . -they may have h~d a major lafe change or just gone through a divorce, or they could just be new in town and lonely. "These groups can pick up on that and take advantage of peo· ple with real dependency needs," Enroth said. Nevanka MiJaliC came to the Piecemakers at a time when she was ready to take her own life. She was tdldng multiple antide· pressants, was heavily in debt and came to the Piecemakers asking them il they would bury her. Talking about her introduction to the group, Nevanka becomes overcome with emotion and grat· 1tude. She said the Piecemakers paid her bills, etren though she was a stranger. She has been able to recover her life and has found a happiness working at the Piece- makers' store as a cook. It's a hap- piness she never had wo~king as a registered nurse, ~he said. Another group member, Amy Johnson, said she came to the group pregnant at 17 years old. In her teenage years, she was promiscuous and was involved w1th drugs.

Johnson bas been with the group 10 yea.rs and is raising her daughter in the group. "I feel like this is my fanuly." Johnson said. •This is more my farruly than my blood could ever be." Former members have described this initial embrace of kindness as a "hook" to get mem- bers in. Experts call it "love bombing.• "They really offer a lo~ on the surface," said Kaynor Weishaupt, a marriage and family counse~or specializing in cults. "Potential members are usually subjected to lo.Je bombing. "If you're not feeling like that in other places in your lite, that's going to feel pretty attractive.• These groups offer an immedi- ate sense of family, instant friend- ship and security, Enrotb said. MThese groups are meeting basic hwnan needs -the need. for family, the need to belong, the need to have a sense of purpose iri lite," Enroth said. •Tuey pro- vide a high degree of commit- ment. There are a lot of people who want someone to cosign for their lives." A DIFFICULT WALK Piecemakers members said they are there by choice. It's a lifestyle they choose to live. "We don't ask anyone to live the way we do,• said member Katie Neeqham. The "walk" can be difficult, she said. Member Chet Nelson said he also made a conscious choice to join Piecemakers more than 20 years ago. •I'm not brainwashed," Nel- son said. "I'm not brain-dead." But sometimes people make choices without all the informa- tion, or out of their own vulnera- bility, Weishaupt said. In addition, what's known as brainwashing, mind control or thought reform can be a very sub- tle thing.

"People will con- vince themselves that they a.re doing these thin~ out of cho1ce. It's called cognitive dissonance.• Some of the things that Piece·. maken members are choosing to do include cutting off ties from family members, reporting on one another, and participating ln ~on; fessions and group Mcorrection sessions. Every morning, they meet for breakfast in one of si.x communal homes the group owns in upscale Mesa Verde on and around Swan Drive. Members confess their sins and frailties and a.re encouraged to •correct" one another. • Kolasinski· said the Bible calls for this exhortation, admonish- ment and edifying. It is part of the process that brings members fr?m a carnal or animal mind to a mmd like God's. •A lot of people leave because they don't want to go through the stripping," she said. •we do stri~ ping of the animal n~ture. ~ cleansing that we re going through brings us much closer to God." Members call it being kind to one another. Others said it is anything but kind. At its worst, a single mem- ber is surrounded by the rest of the group and assaulted with yelling and screaming of profani- ty and insults. Former member Paula Halver· son said at times Kolasinski will pair husbands and wives with other intimate partners - although sex is not allowed in the group -to create jealousy. When jealousy surfaces, the group unites to rid the person of this dark feeling. The same goes for feelings of covetry, pride, arro- gance and self-pity. "We help one another with our shortcomings," Kolasinski said. "Sometimes our words aren't sweet 'I love you' type of words. 1t depends on how stubborn a per- son is.• Although these sessions can be painful, change is painlul, Needham said.

Some ~ have likened it to abused woman syndrome. to denial. ., Leavmg the Piecemakers can be very difficult, members attest. ' Because the group lives com- munally, all assets -homes, _cars, money _ are turned over. ~ece makers work long hotµ"S without wages at the store and get a small allowance each week. Currently, it's set at $10 per week. '---, As a result. Piecemakers ua.:> blossomed into a mult;i·~on dollar business with an mtema· .s: tional following. Members who have left the group accuse Kolasinski and her family of ben- efiting financially from the group. Kolasinski has denied that and said she too only gets a $10 allowance per week. . When members leave, they Q.Q so empty-handed and without their assets -although one cou- ple, Harold and Marion Simonds, got their home back after going to court and accusing the Piec~· ers of intimidating Marion mto signing over the title. As hard as leaving can be , financially, the emotional strain , can be even tougher. •for a while !former members) need help becoming indepen-. dent," said John Hochmann, a doctor and professor at UCLA. They feel stupid or blame themselves for what may have happened, H~ ~d. They also are faced with repairing rela- tionships with family members. Often, they face intense perse- cution by the group because cults depend on fostering an us~ver sus-them attitude, experts said. But leaving is possible. And so is regaining a life of normalcy, but a person must choose to make the leap, Halverson said. "You find this small window and you know if you don't jump out the window will close and so~ething will be said that will convince you again ... , " she said. ... • SOCie HomeAid Orange County celebration to provide renovation ..

Director Jack Millis bas assembled a strong ensemble cast to relate the struggles for success in a strange new land. At the center is a remarkably multi- layered performance by Kathy Simmons as a young mother bringmg he•son to New York, where her nusba.nd bas estab- lished' himself. Surunons' Rebecca is the con- science of the show, a bastion of decency amid the forces of fear, anxiety and greed. The latter trait surf aces in the character of her ambitious husband (Kyle Myers). who has Americanized the fanuly's name and cast his lot with the shrewd, unsavory politi- cos of Tammany Hall. An impressive, it occasionally over-the-toll, performance is ren- dered by ~da Loomer as Bella, the young woman Rebecca befriends on the boat and remains fiercely allied with in New York. Loomer renders a poignant portrait of defiance to the repression of her stem father (Brian Harvey) and her sup- pressed desire to explore this new land on her own. Harvey's steely manner is an effective contrast to bis daugh- ter's upbeat would-be boyfriend, nicely played by Steven Josef- son. Their scenes would work •6,000 titles of 1'9ntal and sales even better, however, if a more logical reason for the fa the r's opposition were established. Young Frankie Marrone is engaging as Rebecca's little boy and the narrator of the s,tory. Phillip Schnell irljects some cred· ible conflict as a fiery union orga-· nizer, while Janet McGregor beautifully takes the chill off Harvey's dour character -illogi- cal as the seductive sequence is -in the number "1b.ree Sunny Rooms." _ The taped musical back-• ground occasionally slows or derails the show, most noticeably in the "What's Wrong With That?" number headed by Tam- many boss James Emery. How- ever, it doesn't stop Loomer from delivering a most impressive vocal rendition of the musical's title song. Todd Kulczyk's century-old New York set desigri effectively resembles the artfully artilicial backdrops of the movie version of MWest Side Story." Since most of the action is sta- tic, Melanie Jacobson's choreog- raphy is limited irl its effect, while the drab period costumes of Tom Phillips and Larry Watts fit the mood of the show splen- didly. Don't come to "Rags" looking for a lot of laughs, but be pre- pared for a heart-rendering his- tory lesson in early Americana. It may be a bit on the melodramat- ic side, b\lt it leaves a lasting impression. on Adult pro " amateur videos •Newest & lat.st ....._ .. , received dolly •Adult games " toy• ·~/lacfM&ore ... gifts •Lotlona/otl ptOducts •lnltrudlonal odult vkleot • Gag giftt & lotiont •Adult gl"Mtfng cards, invitation• and memo pads 7344 Center • Huntington Beach 714 898-0400 Open Mon thru Sat 10am to 8pm Sunday noon-6pin • Videos as low as $3.95 • Large Sci.

Appe- tizers start at about $5. The food at Habana can best be described as 'Nuevo Latino,· explained Jahant. Plates range from $12.95 to $18.95 and patrons have the choice of sitting inside at small tables, or outside on the patio under an umbrella.

Judging by our 103 most influential children, our future looks very bright, indeed. Our students are . involved. They are volun- teers. They are teachers. They are coaches. Our students are smart. With the advent of Advanced Placement and Honors courses, a 4.0 grade point average is no longer nearly unthinlcable. Try 4.3. We have students who REBUTTAL have tried and re&cbed that average. Our students are healthy. From sailing to soccer, vOl- leyball to basketball, New- port-Mesa's youth continue to excel in sports as well as in the classroom. · Our students are versa- tile.

One of the basic functions of government is to •establish Jus- tice· The Ptecemakers have a right to defend themselves against defamation by Tom Hal- liburton. Moreover, by swng Hallibur- ton, the Piecemakers are giving him the opportunity to prove his case in court. U he has a case, he should be delighted with this opportunity to prove it. If not, Halliburton will pay a penalty for his injurious and irresponsible behavior. His defamation is inju- rious to the Piecemdkers' busi- ness and reputation. Incidentally, a case involving $5 million, according to the 7th Amendment, should be decided by a jury, not a lone judge. That's assuming the Constitution is still in force in Costa Mesa. (So your concern, that the same judge who gives permission for the fire chief to violate the Piecemakers' 4th Amendment rights could also be hearing their case against Halliburton, is hopefully mis- placed.) On the subject of inspections by the fire chief, the Piecemak- ers' objection to a judge's deci- sion to "allow" (read, "coerce") the CMFD into their store, is a freedom issue. Consider: the Piecemakers' business is a seven-figure enter- prise covejed by insurance. Both the Piecemakers and the insur- ance company have plenty of interest in protecting themselves against fire. Who needs the fire chief? If the Piecemakers felt they needed his advice, why wouldn't they invite him over? Maybe it's because the Piece- makers have had too many bad experiences with government busy-bodies (the fire chief is a government agent). Code enforcers have invaded the Piecemakers' property, they have tried to enforce frivolous rules that impose wmecessary costs while providing no benefit except to the bureaucratic power egos. To repeat, it is perfectly logical for the Piecemakers to use the court system to defend them- selves against aggressors, as well as complain about it when it is used by government to aggress against others. In a free state, the courts are agencies of the people. In a police state, the courts are agen- cies of the government. We all have a legal and moral right to be left alone, by both government and other citizens. DONHUU Costa Mesa DOily Pilot LETTER TO 1 Tiii EDllOI Volleyball court not the problem·. -people are I am writing this letter in response to Jessica Garn- -son's May 25 article, "Resi- dents want to spike volley- ball court. H Just when I thought I've seen it all, some other pathetic citizen is ready to sue the city again -over volleyball. How does beach volley- ball become dangerous tor anyone? Are players now armed? They hit people with balls? They are volleyballs. not 'bowling balls. If someone is not smart enough, with all the beach there is, to not lay their towel close to the court, they deserve to be hit with the ball. I live in West Newport and am on the boardwalk quite frequently and maybe the reason it's crowded is because it's June -duh! People nor- mally watch from the beach, not the bike path. Unless you're content with playing jungle ball with kooks on vacation, with the exception of maybe Grant Street, that court on 24th Street is the ' only one l've seen with decent play. I played high school vol- leyball at Estancia High School and played a couple of years in college, and 15 or 20 years ago, THE place to play beach volleyball in Newport was down at 52nd Street. Anybody my age that played on the beach back then knows that there were never any kind of those problems with citi- zens. I'm now 35 and have shoulder as well as knee problems, and cannot play anymore at a high level. But, if I could, I'd be play- ing at 24th Street.

Boating, or as the Vanderbilt's would say, •yachting," has been wrongfully accused of being an elitist activity. Should we label golf, tenrus, shopping at Nordstroms, Saks and Bloomies, as an elitist activity as well? Possibly, but there are alternatives. There are also surfboards, boogie boards. miniature golf and pingpong, and we've all heard of Ross, Mervyns and Target. Maybe not quite the same, but they also play a large role in the lives of many. Owning a sail or powerboat, becomes a little more complex than the above analogy. First, boats can get a wee bit expensive. you have to deal with the initial cost of the vessel itself, fuel, repairs, maintenance, insurance, sails, engines, education, practice and if you want to race, you generally have to belong to a •yacht club.• There are some clubs on the East Coast that will charge you IOATlll& terr once phdhps over $30,000 to join with a $350 per month minimum in the dining room/bar. West Coast clubs tend to be more reasonable, J.f you pass the scrutiny of the membership committee and part your hair to the right. The criteria varies from club-to-club. Once again, there are alternatives. Newport Harbor is blessed with a variety of great yacht clubs. We have clubs that have stood the test of time and represent the activity of yachting £n its most prestigious form. We also have clubs that place more emphasis on casual, less Corinthian activities.

The 6-foot-4 right-hander, drafted in the 7,J3tb round Wednesday by the Baltimore Ori- oles, is batting .457 with six homers and 34 RBis.

He has pitched in 16 games this spring, allowing 42 hits and 24 walks with 96 strikeouts in 85 innings He signed a letter of intent to attend Utah State on a football scholarship, but has since dead- ed to play baseball at a communi- ty college. • (Talanoa) is a warrior and he has the heart of a lion," Steven- son said. "He's mentally and phy~ically ready, he has three innings, and we'll definitely use him." Stevenson said the emergence of a supporting cast around Con- cepcion, Talanoa, McAndrews and Tigani, has helped this team join the lengthy list notable Eagle squads. Emme, well-versed on the Eagles and Concepcion, having coached at Bay League rival Redondo for six seasons before getting the CdM job last spring. said his team won't be intimidat- ed by Saturday's opponent. or the stadium atmosphere . "Our guys have reacted well to situations all year,• Emme said. "We're right where we want to be and we'll be ready to go.~ Stevenson, however, believes his vast experience in CIF title games could help him create a bigger comfort zone for his play- ers. "Having been there, there are some things I know that perhaps Emme doesn't know,• said Stevenson, for whom El Segun· do's field iS named. •(Emme) will be learning things on the job.• B W•shlnston Mutual H•RY, llOIE LOAN RATES ARE BOIN& TlllOUGH TIE FLOOR I Low documenlat1on programs available .
