While attorneys representing the dty claim the group is lawless and must be taught a lesson. the contro- vendal judge was of a different opin- ion. Shaw said she felt "compassionate• for the Pieoamak .. and that she, in ' -fact. understandi many °'. meutbei.r strong ~ -. mdl-govemment and Christian beliefs. Shaw even pondered what would happen to her if every American felt the way the Piece:mllkers do. "I might be out ot a job," the judge said. Eat at Mac's One of Superintendent Mac Bernd's top priorities dwing his visits to Arlington, Texas was to find a local cafe with the friendliest seJVice and best chicken fried steak and eggs. Upon his return. Bernd said he found just the spot. The gravy was thick and the breakfast well-prepared. Maybe it's just coincidence, but the name of the restaurant is "Mac's Bar and Grill."

Six inches later, Newport Beach and Costa Mesa residents are mopping up storm water El Nifto dumped over the weekend. BY JENNIFER ARMsntONG PHOTOS BY MARC MARTIN Congratulations, Newport- Mesa -you've made it through your first El Ni.iio-driven storm of the year. And it wasn't that bad, was it? Sure, more than 6 inches of rain pounded the area this weekend, but look on the bright side: There were no traf- fic fatalities. There were a few rainbows. And it's not every weekend you can walk across the Rhine Channel, which was packed solid with debris. Some residents, of course, did suffer substantial sacrifices to the storm we've all been bracing for. Along Pomona Avenue in Costa Mesa, clumps of soggy carpet and floor padding dotted front lawns. Mary Lou Coulter, who has lived on the street for 11 years, went to work on Sat- urday morning thinldng this El Nino thing wasn't so bad. Then her husband called her at about 8 6.rb., 1o tlA1m their .diligelll sandbagging wasn't doing them much good. ·we bad things ftoating in the back yard,• Coulter said Sunday, standing on her bare living room floor. •Tue only thing that kept me going was watching on 1V how bad it was in Laguna Beach." In Newport Beach's Lido Marina Village, El Niiio wrought selective wrath. It flooded Lido Art Dimensions and has forced the closure of The Warehouse restaurant until Tuesday -but other shops were dry and doing plenty of business Sunday. Some West Newport resi- dents bad planned to spend this weekend recovering from last weekend's floods along Balboa Boulevard between 39th and ''1st weekend did all the damage, but this weekend made sure nothing was salvageable ., ' -KAREN STEWART • 45th streets. Instead they watched water seep into their homes all over again. •Last weekend did all the damage, but this weekend made sure nothing was sal- vageable," said Karen Stewart, standing in a puddle near her bedroom. She had saved a few items by putting them in garbage bags and throwing them in the bathtub, but her still-sopping wet furniture was scattered about her home. ·There's nothing left -the fur- niture's warped, the bed's ruined, the vacuum cleaners are gone, the stereo's gone." Stewart, a West Newport resident for nearly three years, said she'll be now be qioving out -her landlord is asking everyone to leave while the homes are repaired and rncar- peted. She said when she checks out a new pl.ace to live, she'll ask whether it has ever been flooded. Rainfall over the weekend in the area totalled 6.28 inches, according to National Weather Service figures -men than Above, Corona del Mar resident Bradey Metcalfe wak:bes the runoff from Buck Gulley, where a oonaete stalrway that leads to Uttle Corona couap.ect Sand- bags were needed to keep the water oul oltllie Down- towa Commvntty Center on Ana- heim Avenue In CodaMesa. the entire season's total as of Friday, and hall last year's total. Costa Mesa's south end suf- fered the most flooding, police said. Wilson Street, Harbor Boulevard, Pomona Avenue at 17th Street, Anaheim Avenue at 19th and Park Drive were all under water Saturday. Some residents on Park Drive had to evacuate by boat, police said. A few frantic calls to the Fire Department reported people falling in the Santa Ana River. but those proved false, Battalion Chl~ Chris Riley s&d . And Estancia High School briefly opened as a Red Cross emer- gency center for some residents who bad to leave their homes. The Newport Beach Police Department called in off-duty officers to help with relief efforts. Floods hit almost every part of the dty, Lt. Tun New- man said. A few drivers got stuck in their cars at the Arches Bridge -where water was reportedly 3 feet deep -and cars stalled everywhere. Coast Highway closed for about four hours, and two northbound lanes at Superior Avenue remained closed Sun- day. Mariner's Mile and Bal- boa Boulevard were also awash in rainwater Satw'day.

Newport's city yard banded out about 20,000 sandbags and had to tum away droves d non- residents who were mistakenly informed that the dty was handing out free sandbags to anyone in the county. Only those with proof of Newport Beach residence went home with the coveted bags. •SEE STORM PAGE 5 J , , ~ 1 1 1 , , 1 ; , 1 • , r , , ; , f t • , , t , , , .' . • 1 1 • 1 ' } • , 1 1 • , , , • C011ncll considers neWsetof user fees • Rafes woUid be Charg for events held at city buildings, p~aying fields.

As consumers increasingly place emphasis on the affordability of new cars, automobile manufacturers have responded by holding the line OD prices. Manufactures say the price of the typical 1998 car model will remain unchanged or inaease ooly slightly. This announcement follows a decade in which new vehicle prices increased an average S.3 pcrocot per year. Even so, by some measure- ments, new vehicles arc already more affordable than they have been in 16 years. The fact is, that in the second quarter of 1997, the cost of a new car was equivalent to 21.8 weeks of aver- age income. That is the lowest since 1981, when wage earners had to col- lect W.7 weeks of wages to purchase a new car. HINT: According to federal statistics, consumers have consistently spent about 11 CJ> of their disposib!e income . oo transportabon. However, in the last two years, that pcrocntage bas dropped to 8%. · CAR NEGLECT Most of us put off doing things of one type °' another, but those who neglect to service various systems and components in their cars nm the risk of hi,gbcr repair costs down the road.

NEWPORT BEACH -Limited action on offense doomed Corona del Mar High's boys basketball team Saturday afternoon as the Sea Kings were forced to settle for eighth place in the Daily Pilot Tip-off Oassic as Thoy earned a 76-49 win. Playing at Newport Harbor's gym, the Sea Kings had trouble getting comfortable with an offense as just one player -senior Nick Gabriel -was able to reach double digits in the scoring cate- gory. He tallied 10 points. Coach Paul Orris' squad (1-3) came out of the blocks slowly as the Warriors mounted a 20-4 lead by the end of the first period. Even though the Sea Kings found something of a rhythm, the Warriors continued to build upon their lead. Eagles breeze Nelson scores 31 to lead Eagles past Verdugo Hills. CORONA DEL MAR Estancia High's boys basketball team earned its second straight win of the season as senior Sam Nelson drained 31 points to lead the Eagles to a 72-54 victory over Verdugo Hills in a consolation game of the Daily Pilot Tip-off Classic at Corona del Mar High Saturday afternoon. Nelson averaged 32.3 points over the four games of the tour- nament to pace the Eagles (2-2) and earn a spot on the all-tourna- ment team. Estancia rode the fuel of Nel- son's charge to establish a 20-8 lead at the end of the first period and didn't look back as Coach Rich Boyce's squad punished the Dons from inside and from around the perimeter. Senior Gavin Rainey added 10 for Estancia and James Dawkins chipped in with eight.

By Molly Yanity, Daily Pilot NEWPORT BBACH -For three quar- ten, Aliso Niguel's boys basketball team was falling victim to Newport Harbor's strong team defense, precise shot selection and scrappiness. In the end, however, it was the Wolver- ines' height, their shining stars and their flashiness that captured a 77~69 victory and third place in the Daily Pilot Tip..off Classic at Newport Harbor Saturday evening. "It came down to their bulk and their size," Sailor Coach Larry Hilst said. Leading 53-51 at the end of the third, quarter;-Harber seemed to have a lot in its comer. Playing on their home court didn't hurt, even though rain was leaking through the roof in some spots. More importantly, the Tars (2-2) had ~n practicing patience by passing the ball around to get good shots. They had been canning those shots, too. They had been boxing out, forcing Aliso's tall guys to get called for over-the-beck fouls. But the Wolverfna, who had been strong all evening in the paint thanb to 6-toot-1, 230-pound J.J. Sola, broke from their bench with all the punch ... and sud- denly Newport's shots wenm't falling. After hitting 33% of their attempts in the first half, the b1ue and gray missed nine field goal attempts in a row to open the fin4l period. ·vou have to give some aedit to Aliso,• Hirst said. •They didn't give us a whole lot of easy shots. They forced us to be patient •we seem to go in spurts and we're not hitting those spurts when we need to be executing." Sola and Aliso's flashy 6-4 point guard Nathan Hair began to heat up as Newport was cooling off. Hair tied the score at 53 with a layup to ope~ fourtA q:uarteI Jeremy Cooley would give Aliso its first lead since midway through the second quarter with a pair of free throws and, with Harbor in its shooting drought, Coach Ken Goldstone's squad would emerge. Hair banked in a long shot ·trom the right wing, then ripped down a three to put the visitors ahead, 64-57. The Sailors' Matt Jameson pulled up for for • Jumper In tbe lane to give h1I squad its first field goal with 4:50 left In the period. TM damage, as they say, had already been done, though as Newport would not dole the gap. Sola, who drained a game-high 30 points, put the finishing touch on the game Witb a boop from inslde the paint. •we're playing 27 or 28 minutes of good basketball. but there aie four or five min· utes that ate coming back to haunt us,• Hirst said. But those few minutes did not happen until the end, which could be a good sign for Hint as his team was in the game with a physically superior squad until the fin4l minute. "The fact that we can play with a bigger team is encouraging, a.pd we still have the gumption to come back. I have a whole squad tbat ii wiJJing to fight until the hitter end,• he said. Jameson led the Tars with 20 points and the point guard topped the team in the rebounding category with 10. Archbold added 17 points while Alan Umon chipped in with 10. Sophomore Dustin Illingworth, who made the all-tournament team, tallied nine points in Saturday's contest.
