elaborate script to ask longtime

By Susan Deemer, Daily Pilot ~
COSTA MESA -Garrett Lerner and
Kim Rohlfing discovered. dreams really
can come true, just like in the movies.
Lerner, 25, a saeenwrlter who just
sold his first scraenplay this week, has
been smitten with Rohlfing, 26, since
they o:iet in high school nine years ago
-he tutored her in trigonometry.
Although both Lerner and Rohlfing
grew up in Port Lauderdale, Florida,
Lerner graduated from USC, where he
majored in cinema. He asked Rohlfing
to come live with him in California, but
he wasn't ready to get engaged unW his
film career started rolling.
He finally decided it was time to pop
the question after he sold his first
screenplay •Gravy Train• to Sony Pic·
tures. Lerner wanted to do it in style,
something his future wile would never
forget.
So like any good screenwriter, Lerner
typed up a script ouWning the proposal.
It was based on a dream he had about
three years ago. At the time, Lerner
thought the dream might make a good
movie. Instead it became the real thing.
The timing had to be perfect. Lerner
sent a limousine to Walgreens pharmacy

awaited her. Limousine driver Walter

While Rohlfing was headio.g towald
San Diego, where Lerner was waiting in
front of a hot air balloon, Lerner was
calling her father Bob in Florida on his
cellular telephone to aSk for her hand in
marriage. He would have called earlier,
but be was. afraid the surprise might get
leaked out.
"He made me sweat it out,• Lerner
said of her father.
Finally, the limousi.De pulled up in
front of a colorful hot air balloon that
had a banner saying "Kimberly, I love
you a lot, a lot, a lot. Will you marry
me?•
•1n the scene I wrote from the dream,
the timing was off and the balloon takes
off before she gets there," Lerner said.
"He is screa.mirig 'Will you marry me?'
ahd she is screaming 'Yes!.'"
But in real life, Lerner got down on
one knee., but .he had Allard time get-
ting the words out. So at that point
Rohlfing pulled him up from the ground
and just started hugging him.

When Madueno lived in Mexi-
co. Independence Day was in
September And there were no
limits to what kind of fireworks
could be set off. It was pretty wild,
she said, because one person

Anglers continue to enjoy
solid season of fislµng, but
be forewarned, albacore
'moving north; Irvine Lake
offers another route for
the weekend warrior.
Tie Fourth of July weekend
should produce good
coastal and offshore fishing
for anglers heading out of
Newport's twin jetties.
Good fishing is reported all
along the coastline. Floating kelp
patties in the channel are
holding yellowtail and dorado;
Catalina Island has been hot for
calico bass, yellowtail, bonito
and white sea bass; and there
are still some schools of albacore,
yellowfin and bluefin tuna in
outer waters.
This could be the last few
days of the 1997 albacore season
for harbor area anglers.
The count has dropped
significantly over the past couple
of days.
The wind has been blowing a
steady 20 knots, swells are
building and there has been a
pretty good chop, and it has
combined. to keep fishing
pressure down.
The weather pattern is
changing and it looks like calmer
seas will be what anglers can
look forward to this weekend.
Another indication that the
longtins 8r,e on th~ move north
are good counts coming out of
Morro Bay and a lower dock
total reported out of San Diego.
The outlook isn't all that bad
for the remainder of the summer,
though.
Huge schools of yellowfin
tuna, bigeye, yellowtail and
dorado are·moving up the line
off Baja Norte and they could be
fishable in just a few days few
boats running out of the tuubor.
The first striped marlin could
be coming in as soon as today as
excellent water temps and plenty
of bait in the channel make idw
conditions for a number of
billfish to be landed by private
yachts and six-pack charger
boats over the holiday.
Chris Edman of Ne..~rt
Beach, reported. via Anglers
Center, that his charter boat Fln
Fever fished the Mushroom Bank
e(lflier in the week. and in
addition to a gOOd count on
albacore and dorado, they had
a striped marlin come up and try
to eat a cedar.plug.
•'Jbere .is a huge push of blue
71 degree water just below the
181 spot and it's moving this
way,• reports Ed.man.
1bis is the kind of water
marlin like and Edman feels that
there could be a number of
spikebills caught on the 181, 209,
14-mile Bank or off the east end
of Catalina.
Near limits of sand bass are
being sacked by ,!lllglers fishing
on thiee-quarter and half-day
boats running out of Davey's
Locker and Newport I .anding,
and private yachts heading up
the line and fishing over bard
bottom in 10-to-12 fathoms of
water.
According to Davey's Locker
spokesman Scott Larsen of
Balboa. l)aSI fishing bas been
steady inllde the oil rigs and on
up to the Horseshoe Kelp. Bus

coast to spawn and a lot of good
catches are being made ..
Fishing aboard the sportfisher ·
Monte Carlo with Ed Dillon of
Newport Beach.and Ronnie
Kovach of Huntington Beach on
Tuesday, we enjoyed a good~}
on the Horseshoe Kelp.
Fishing was steady all day
long as both log barracuda and
c.allco t8ass fed in the chum line ' •
off the stern of the sportfisher.
A few yellowtail were hooked. ,
bonito boiled off the coqier and
calico bass ate plastics fished on :
leadhead jigs on the sink better
than memory can recall
The bass bite should remain
good along the beach, ~h _
the first couple of weeks Of July, ·.
and then look.for calicos and
sandies to back off for a couple
of weeks.
Bait hasn't been too much of a
problem for NewpOrt boats as
the bait boat is making enough
anchovies and sardines to meet
the demand of the daily neet.
The bait barge i9 now open
seven days a week and is
anchored inside the east jetty.
Newport Bait Co. is operating
the bait rea!iver and boats can
get live bait daily at 5 a.m.
during the week. On Friday and
Saturday the bait barge is '.
manned 24 hours. For more ·
information on special
arrangements for getting live
bait, phone 650-BAIT.
Fresh water fishing is very
good at Irvine Lake.
The local lake has been
kicking out huge blue catfish in •
the 65-pound class and is also
being stocked weekly with
thousands of pounds of channel
catfish. •• • Bill Williams of Costa Mesa
posted a 27-pound limit of
channel catfish over the ••
weekend, fishing cut mackerel •
in Santiago Flats.
Open seven days a week.

Cage, Travolta
double the fun
Race off to "Face/Ott,• an
amalgamated bat trick of a
movie that fuses action, ·
suspense and film noir into a
blistering slapsbot lo the face
mask, by the Stanley Cup cham-
pion of intestinal filmmaking,
director John Woo.
A twist on the old hockey
adage, ·1 went to a boxing
match and a John Woo movie
broke out,• best describes the
only thing this film suffers from
-not knowing when to say
"Uncle.·
But take two acclaimed actors
with a knack for adding a pinch
of quirk afld a dash of avant-
garde lo otherwise bland roles,
and you've got the spice so often
lacking in the genre.
From the stylish opening
sequence where Sean Archer
(John 1\"avolta) is seen bugging
his child while a skulking Castor
lToy (Nicolas Cage) places him
in the cross-hairs, right up until
the protracted finale, this movie
plays with one foot in the art
house and the other firmly
entrenched in the outhouse.
Shortly after Th>y is violently
rocked into a coma by Archer,
Archer discovers that 'D'oy and
bis' twisted brother Pollux
(Alessandro Nivola) have plant-
ed a nerve gas bomb somewhere
in Los Angeles.
In one ol the more visually
memorable scenes, doctors lift
the face off lh>y and attach it to
Archer, whose own face bas
been
immersed in
a preserva-
tive fluid.
Leiter, noy
has Archer's
face attached
to bis own
pulped and
bloody mass.
Although
the action
from this Kea Bucda.I
point forward
is spellbinding, it is nonetheless
dramatically and functionally
flawed.
H Woo is attempting lo keep
the audience steadfast in its alle-
giance lo Archer, even while he
appears as 1\"oy, then he can't
have Archer killing countless
police officers whose only mis-
take is lo fire upon the person
they believe to be lioy. Woo
attempts to resolve this moral
dilemma by having Archer
merely wound th09e he comes in
direct contact with while killing
those at a distance.
However, you can't deny this
movie's pizzazz. WatQdng
Travolta and cage struggle .to
mimic the other's manner and
temperament is enthralling.
Ukewise, as they modify the
other's personality, it's entertain-
ing to observe .their conflicting
motivations. As layer upon fasci-
nating layer is peeled away,
another is added, giving these
characters uncommon dimension
for an action thriller.
• KEN IUCOtl, 35, lives in Balboa and

Best of many
summer action flicks
Face it -in order to enjoy
the movie •face/Off• you need
toleav~commonseaseatthe
door. That done, sit back and
enjoy the ride but keep your
hands and arms inside the vehi-
cle at all times because it's going
to get bumpy.
"Face/Off• is the current vio-
lent movie-du-jour of the sum-
mer. It stars John Travolta as
Sean Archer, an FBI agent dedi-
cated to tracking down the man
who murdered ~ 5-year-old son
and Nicolas Cage as murderer-
terrorist Castor 1roy, a man
intent on reeking havoc wherev-
er he is.
After six years of searching
for 'froy, Archer nabs him when
in the first of several extremely '
violent shoot-outs, lioy is cap-
tured butlallsJnto a-roma.
When Archer learns a bomb
bas been planted and lioy's
brother Pollux is the only one
who knows where it is, Archer
assumes Th>y's identity to dupe
Pollux into talking. How, you
ask. can Archer assume Troy's
identity? Basically, doctors cut ofl
'froy's face, cut off Archer's face,
switch them
and presto
chango
Archer is
now'Jh>y.
But Th>y's
coma isn't
permanent
and when he
wakes up
without a
face, it isn't pretty (con-Heldl Brealer
sider how
mad you'd be). Seeing Archer's
face floating nearby, 'Jh>y
assumes bis identity and really
gets the fireworks popping.
Watching these two actors
play the same characters is real-
ly interesting. Both men do a
really great job playing the bad
guy. Dunng the blg switcbaroo,
both characters have lines that
cause the audie nce to laugh out
loud.
The other mainstay in this
film ls Joan Allen. She stars as
Archer's strained wife Eve. Her
character is really the only reali-
ty-based one in the movie.
Although I kept seeing Pat
Nixon and wondering what she's
doing in this film.
"Face/Off,• directed by John
Woo (a man known for bis Hong
Kong action films), really is a
wild ride. I couldn't believe all
the things that get blown-up,
shot-up and lit-up. A small South
American country could have
been armed if all the ammuni-
tion bad been real.
H action films are what you
like, then Uus is definilely_your
kind of E-ttaet entertainiilent-
My problem was all those Oeet-
ing bits of logic that kept natter-
ing at me during the movie.
Holding those at bay will keep
you in your seat fadng the best
action-thriller out this S\IDlJller.

One odd thing is that despite

quite a number or evil monsters

The multi-headed Hydra

lake of the dead bad spirits

pins at the end of each
lane but live music and
karaoke.
FRIDAY, JULY.4, 1997
Costa Mesa's bowling alley
also features karaoke, live
music and Rock 'n'-Bowl
S'tory by Nancy Cheever, Daily Pilot
I n its heyday, Kona Lanes
played host to the area's best
bowlers, their strikes and
spares broadcast on TV. The
TV cam~ras are gone now, and
yesterday's pro bowlers might
be nonplussed at sharing space
with karaoke machines, disc
jockeys and
glow .. in-the-dark
pins.
~ince opening
its doors in
February 1960,
the Costa Mesa -•
facility has been
the site of hun-
dreds of national
and statewide
bowling tourna-
ments. But the
clatter of pins
falling OD the
slick lanes is drowned out by
music spun by disc jockeys
during Rock 'D' Bowl, which is
like bowling in a nightclub.
During the 1960s, Kona
Lanes was the most active
bowllng center in the area with
a house league so prestigious,
prominent bowlers came down
from Los Angeles OD
Wednesday nights just to bowl
at the state-of-the-art facility.
•At the time it opened it
was the only building in that'
vicinity on Harbor Boulevard,·
said Costa Mesa historian
Hank Panian.
Every Monday night the
Professidnal· Western Bowlers
Association held tournaments
there, remembers Past
President of the Orange
County Bowling League Roy
Andreen, a Costa

prominent in the
early '60s it was

Andreen. ·u bas
played a large
part in league
play.•
The newer cen-
ters like Fountain
Bowl and Regal
Bowl have taken
business away
from Kona. But for
bowling, it's still the only game
in Newport-Mesa.
The building looks like a
cbateau. with metal beams
extending into three •y• shapes
on-one-stde, cl\J!;tered roCk walls
and tinted windows emptying
into the vast 40-lane ball.
The beige, sbinylanes and
high ceilings provide a hollow
backdrop for the sounds of
rolling baJJs and crashing. pins,
a tempting invitation everyone
who walks in is apt to accept.
But bowling isn't all that
attracts people in droves to
Newport-Mesa's only bowling
alley.
FRIDAY, JULY 4, 1997
' On most nights, karaoke
singers conv erge at the Kona
