A busy beginning Byron de Arakal BETWEEN THE UNES Riding high horses to defeat racism W e have a problem, folks. In recent weeks. a whole herd of people have been galloping around Costa Mesa on tugh horses tossing around the dogeared card of racism And I'm bothered by 1t. Not because I'm a closet Aryan secretly goose-step- ping around the house m Jackboots. I abhor the igno- rance and fanat1rum that fuels the hdtred of any peo- ple, whatever the stripe of theu ethruc1ty. But I hold IIl equal low regard tugh-rrunded dema- Too man y of us lob th e i11cend i aries ~ of bi gotry and racism into iss ues where they do not exist and do not belong. goguery that seeks to make the battle against racism an industry, particularly when 1t is h ypocri tic al rhetonc. Too many or us lob the incen- cllaries or bigotry and racism into issues where they do not exist and do not belong. Nevertheless, smce the election of Chris Steel to the Costa Mesa City Counal by more than 101} .. of our popu- lation. the all' or debate in this town has been positively abuzz with nghteous incllg- nation. The cancer of racism is creeping through~ut Costa Mesa. the prevailing head- line seems to read. And yau don't have to scan between the lines too closely to see the city's tugh horsemen are accusing Steel and his policy positions of leading the charge as iI he and they ' were the Nazis marching down the Champs-Elysees. Yet. 1s anyone really lis- tening to what he is saying? Or does he merely make convenient fodder for an anti-raost cottage industry? The most recent case in point rises from the smolder- ing debate over citizenship requirements for appointees to city commissions and com - mittees. Following the sug- gestion of the ever-outspo- k en Martin Mal.la.rd, Steel asked City Atty. Jerry Scheer to check or:r the legality of screening col1UiliSsion and committee appointees for U.S. citizenship. And in rode the racism police.

Debate continues on Greenlight guidelines • Newport Beach council postpones decision on slo~-growth initiative rules until at least next month. Mathis Winkler DAILY PILOT NEWPORT BEACI I -The mechanics of Green.light remain uncertain after City Council mem- bers spent Tuesday altemoon dis· cussing possible gwdelmes for the slow-growth initiative. Approved by voters in Novem- ber, the new law reqwres otywide elections on any general plan amendment for a project that adds more than 100 peak-hour car tnps or dwelling uruts, or 40,000 square feet more than the plan allows .. otywide vote. But Green.light's text. as ll appeared on the ballot, staled that general plan amendments ·adopt- ed within the preceding 10 ye¥8" should count. During Tuesday's discussions, Councilmen John Heffernan and Tod Ridgeway i;aid adopting 'a 2000 starting date would be akin to ignoring the initiative. •t think you're running counter lo the text,· Heffernan said. "To me, look back means look back.• Councilman Steve Bromberg voiced similar concerns at a previ- ous study session on the issue. Heffernan, a Greenlight sup- porter, found an unlikely ally m the Newport Harbor Chamber of Corti· merce, which opposed Greenltght Doug Stuckey, the chamber's spokesman, sdld his orgaruzalton supports setting a starting ddte reaching back 10 years. . Wednesday, January 24', 2001 3 GOOD OMENS SEAN ~l rR DA 'f F-I While council members are not requrred to adopt gwdelmes. the text of the 1rultaltve encourages 1l But the LTUltaltve reqULres al least Sll< of the city's seven elected offi- cials lo vote tn favor of dny rules That restriction could dffect Greenltght's so-called "look back· provision. It requrres lhal 80% of previous general plan amendments Wlthin one of the city's 49 clisltncl neighborhoods "adopted within the preceding 10 years" shall count toward the threshold, which 1s the trigger ford citywide vote. When Mayor Gary Adams coun- tered that a general plan amend- ment for a 400-square-feet filing room now before lhe city would have to go before a vote, Stuckey responded that the chamber would not oppose it. Jn preparati~n to celebrate Chinese New Year, HJlda Ma of San Clemente shops for Hsh at the Dory Fisherman Landing at the base of the Newport Pier early Tuesday. Ma said It's tradition to prepare fish for the new year and a good omen to save some for the following year. City officials dnd Greenhght supporters alike ldvor a 2000 start- ing date for the provision becduse 1t would prevent unnecessary elections. The prov1s1on 1mt1ally was added lo Greenlight to pre- vent developers from mtroducmg projects piece by piece to avoid a ·w e want to stop the 1mtidtive," he said. "We want to let the people see that there are problems w;ilh the initiative. We want them lo see them as soon as possible.• Council members decided to take a straw vote on guidelines, which also include setting dehm-. tions for peak-hour trips and noor area, at another study session Feb. 13. They could vote on the gwde- lines at their following meeting, Feb. 27.

CONTINUED FROM 1 model and actress he began dating about three months after his wife's disappearance. Defense Attorney John Barnett argued that New had a histo- ry of seeking out men such as Dennis Rodman -•bad boys• who lived on the edge and who had frequent encounters with the law. But Lloyd said Bechler had murder in his mind months before he planned the tragic anniversary cruise. He even mentioned a plan to stuff his wife in a barrel and dump her in the ocean to his best friend Kobi Laker while relaxing on the beach after playing vol- leyb_all, Laker testified last month. •He told Kobi and Tami Laker that Pegye was a bad person,• Lloyd said. "He told them she was obsessive, self- ish, controlling and manipula- tive, and they believed him. They felt sorry for him.• On the day of the trip, Lloyd said, Bechler did everything to relax his victim. •He gave her margaritas to drink,• she said. "They had sex. She was sl~epy. She was laying down on the deck in the sun. She was unsuspect- ing, trapped. And then, he murders her and dumps her lover) the side." In his closing arguments, Barnett asked the jury to look al testimony by forensic experts called to the stand by the prosecution. "They said the boat was not wiped down,• he argued. "They found stuff on th~ boat that looked like blood but it wasn't blood. There was no blood on the boat." How could Bechler have wiped up blood if crime scene investigators found no evi- dence of human blood or proof of somebody cleaning out the CAMINO CONTINUED FROM 1 . the chAnge. Plus, the center is an after-schooJ hangout for a number of Costa Mesa High School students, who also have mixed opinions about the proposal. ·"Since there are already a lot of homes here, I think we need stores more than we need more homes,• said Patricia Hernandez, a 13-year- old COS\4 Mesa High School student wbo walks through · the cent.er and sometimes buys srtacks there on her way home. "We use these stores. There's also a clothes store here, and people wlll have to go to the mall if it doses down. It's kind of quiet here. not rushed like the mall, and I just like it better. Alid it's much boat, Barnett asked. He said the story of Pegye Bechler lying in a pool of blood after being bit on the head was part of Tina New's fantasy not fact. The reason, Lloyd told jurors, was that Bechler took his wife almost half way to Catalina and not just four to five miles off Newport Beach, where rescuers found him paddling on his bodyboard, distraught and screaming for help. Lloyd called it all a "fake show,• saying that in none of the tapes jurors saw or heard was Bechler seen actually shedding tears. "He could not conjure up tears because he could not con- jure up the pain,• she said. "It's hard to make tears when you don't have them.· Barnett argued that it is incorrect to use emotion as a yardstick to measure guilt in a murder trial. "There is no barometer for . "} closer th.an anything else.· Beth Magnusen, a 13-year- old who ate at Super Star Burg~rs Tuesday, said she is looking forward to the change. · "My parents say this is bringing down the value of our house, so if we want to sell it in the future, it will be worth less,• she said. "It makes the area look really trashy, so I'm glad it's golng to change to housing.• Other residents, such as those who live in·the nearby apartments 'and those who don't have cars, say they rely on the laundermat and supj?I~ market that are within walk- ing distance. ·we like the shops,• Lele Kibin said. ·we will need to go far away to do our laundry. •And, basically. we will miss the bar.· he said, laugh- ing. Merchants could be the emotion and grieving,· he said. Barnett said the prosecution could twist anything Bechler did or said to make him look guilty. Responding to Lloyd's state- ment that Bechler was putting on a fake show in front of offi- cials, Barnett said Bechler would have done better if he wanted to "create an appear- ance." • U he were worrieQ about creating an appearance. do you think he'd fttll asleep when people are out looking for his wife?" he asked the jury. "Don't you think he'd ask to stay and look WI the last dog comes home?" Barnett said the deputy sheriff who rescued Bechler wrote in her report that day that Bechler was •dazed. dis· traught, • that he hoped she swam ashore and that he wanted to stay back and look for her. But Lloyd said Bechler was lying when he told police, and Daily Pilot hardest hit 1f the proposal is approved.

But Steel was doing nothing of the sort. He merely inquired about the legality of requiring U.S. cit- izenship lo serve on com- mittees and commissions -t.bat often inOuence the expenditure of taxpayer dol- lars or set the direction of public policy. If that is racism, then it 1s codified and msUtutionalned in the city's reqwrement that parks and recreallon com- nussaoners be rc>gistered v'Orers, which by dehmtion means c1t1zensh.tp. Who do we call the racist for wnllng that bat of law?

Perhaps it is fitting that the Mustangs and Sea Kings ended their contest in a 1-1 tie Tuesday at Mesa in a battle for first place in the Pad.fie Coast League. Last year, CdM (18-1-3, 4-0-1 in leagueTtOOk the first of two games . with a 1-0 victory by virtue of Molly O 'Me ara's goal with less than a . • minute remaining. The second game ended in a ICOl'81en tie at CdM. ~e 2001 matchup provided enough tbrlDa and spills for an Amoki Schwan.enegger film and equaled its drama u it featured CdM, ranked No. 1 in CIF Southern Section Divillon IV, and the Mustangs (11-3-3, 3-0-1 in league), No. 5 in Division IV. Mesa sophomore Sharon Day scored her 20th goal of the season, a school single-season record, when she converted on a penalty kick in the 42nd minute. CdM, however, knotted the game when Jaycee Ma.hler finished a 1>"5S frotn Natalia Dorfman with 11 min- utes remaining. The tie ended CdM's 11-game winning streak, but the Sea Kings are unbeaten in 18 games. "This team has arrived,• Coach ·t11u SOCCll Dan Jobmton said of bis Mustangs. •They haw cooftdence in tbamelvel. And, they play IO well together.• After a scoreless first half, Mesa began the second with vigor. The Mustangs stormed their way to a cor- ner kick in the opening minute and Mesa sophomore Emily Abbott drew a penalty. The ensuing penalty kick dis- played what might be the PCL's two best playen at their respective posi- tions, Day vs. Britta Vogele. Day won this round, but Vogele stopped her cold three times in the first half and the CdM senior bound for Univenitf of Iowa finished with nine saves. •(Vogele) ls u good as they get,• Johnston Nld. •she was smart. too. She came out on balls that a lot of goalies would not come out on and that made a huge dttference. • The 1-0 advantage allowed the Mustangs to control the tempo and the Sea Kings. But, CdM shifted the momentum in the final 15 minutes. 1n the 69th minute, Dorfman'I kick spun toward Mahler, but Mesa goalie Chelsea Sorta approached the ball. Mahler beat everyone to the ball and booted it into the back of the net. Mahler's shot was the Sea Kings' 18th attempt as Soria, Katie Roche and Devin Denman pestered CdM with several defensive stops. Soria finished with 11 saves. .

"We're gei?g to need some help from other teams, but we're right in this thing again.• •That help came by way of University. With the 1Tojans' 45-38 win over fust-place Estancia, the Sea Kings (8-12, 3-2 in league) and Mustangs (12-9, 3-2) are tied for third place, one. game behind the 'Ii"ojans. and Eagles. According to Davis, it was no more Mr. Nice Guy for his players, follow- ing the Sea Kings' lethargic perfor- mance in the first half. GIRLS HOOPS Turnovers. wild shots and soft ;_ defense gave Davis the green light for a flavorful discussion at balftime. "I've been saving it all up until now,• Davis said. "We are no longer going to tolefate a lack of effort and execution on our part. It's so frustrating at times. I told our team to get the ball down low to Kristin (McCoy) and she will ~e control, either by scoring or dishing it out to an open player. She did just that.• McCoy did take control, scoring 15 of her 19 points in the second half. She also grabbed seven rebounds to help give life to visitors. Fortunately for the Sea Kings, despite their slop- py play earJy, they were only down by one ,point to the short-handed Mustangs after two quarters of play.
