PARADISE iosn PHOTO OF THE WEEK
nme is running out for those
living in the cottages at Crystal
Cove State Park Beach.
The state parks department
dealt residents there some harsh
news Wednesday, when a
spokesman confinned the agency
would mail out eviction notices
Feb. 15.
The st.ate -facing a two-year
deadline imposed by the Santa
Ana Regional Water Control
Board -wants to replace the sep-
tic tanks underneath the 46 cot-
tages. The tanks, which are prob-
ably leaking into the cove, would
be replaced by a sewer system.
As the residents brace for the
notices, the state parks depart-
ment has started to reassess its
endorsement of a San Franasco
develope.r's plan to build a $35-
rnilllon resort on the state land.
On Thursday, that developer,
Michael Freed, said he would
push ahead with the resort, even
after being screamed at by many
of the hundreds of locals who
showed up at a Jan. 18 state infor-
mational meeting.

FIRE PREVENTION
'AFTER THE VERDICT'
ln Newport Beach, City Coun-
d.l members might have dressed
casually for their retreat Jan. 27,
but by discussing topics ranging
from annexation to the city's
financial status, elected officials
la.id the ground work tor more
detailed discussions in weeks to
come.
One immediate result of the
daylong event was City Manager
Homer Bludau's decision to put
up a few firemen at the Radisson
hotel. Alter a county fire station
near John Wayne Airport caught
fire in December, emergency
response tbnes dropped below
standard. Bludau felt the
makeshift fire station would allevi-
ate the problem for the time
TIOUHTS flOM THI KEiis After arriving at the
courthouse in Santa Ana less than 10 minutes
before the verdict for Eric Bechler was read, I took
a deep breath and composed mysell. I was thank-
ful I had not.missed one of the biggest stories in
our area in years. Bech/er's trial for the murder of
his wife, Pegye, off the coast of Newport Beach
caused a sensation. Once the courtroom doors
opened, it was a media frenzy -every person for
him or her sell. It was almost lixe a circus~ Theo
television cameras encircled friends and family
members involved in the trial. It was crazy. But I
got this shot of Linda Bechler, Eric's mother, being
escorted by Jim Bechler, Eric'.<; uncle'. alter the ver-
dict of guilty hpd been delivered.

Since Monday, the city's fire
fig.hters have been busy responding
to calls in the airport area and San-
t.a Ana Heights. They've also been
taking their engine on "fam.iliari7.a-
tion tours· around the heights, an
unincorporated neighborhood
readying itself to be annexed_ by
Newport Beach next year.
ln other news, financial cam-
paign statements finally revealed
Thursday that last November's
Greenllght election battle will be
remembered as the most expen-
sive in the city's history. Oppo-
nents of the victorious slow-
growth initiative spent more than
S120,000 to defeat the measure.
By comparison, Greenlight sup-
porters put about around $97,000
to lead their mission to success.

GUILn AS CHARGED
A shocking verdict and a lot of
guns ~p crime and court action the community this week.
Erle r, the hcmdsome
volleyball plaY'er from Newport
Heights, was found guiltf of hrst-
degree murder Thursday for
killing bis 38-year-old wife, Pegye,
during an anniversary boating
excursion three yea.rs ago. Her
body is still missing.
The six week, high-profile trial ·
saw the unfuri.i.ng of a grisly mur-
der story spiced with sex, greed,
lust and betrayal.
The sensational trial, which
even featured Bechler testifying in
his defense, was followed dosely
by members of the media as well
as eager court watchers from
Newport Bea(:h. Family members
of Eric and Pegye Bechler and the
media lined the corridors of the
Superior Court in Santa Ana as
they waited seven days for the
jurors' verdict.

nearly 30 years was a training

strappy shoes and an up-do

Very few mothers escape

speaking, the process bolds
fasanating revelations about

whether they agree
with hPr or not. On social issues
rnngmg from sex education to cre-
c1ltonism to placmg the Ten Com-
mandments in schools, Leece is
n<>vPr dfra1d lo spedk her mind
In recent weeks. Leece has
n~quested her fellow boa.rd mem-
bers consider removing two books.
"Of Love and Shadows" by lsdbel
Allende and "Snow Falling on
Cedars" by David Guterson, from
Newport Harbor High's readlng
list.
Once again, her public stance
got heated reactions from the
community.
That probably shocked few peo-
ple. What ought surprise more IS
that as a high school teacher in
Anzona m the early 70s, Leece got
some complaints from parent-;
dbout the works she was teaching
in hN English Classes.
Lrec<>. who has hved on the
We'>twle since 1972, sat down this
week with Pilot City Editor S.J.
Cahn fo talk aboul what bothers
h<•r about the two books and lhC'
ff'dclion she"s received.
What are your concerns wtth the
books?
The adult scenes cross the lme of
whdt 1s dppropriale for junior or
seruor students. I would say most
mothers would not Wdnt their sons or
dauyhtNs to read these passages
The books may be great tor adull.l>,
but these d!e still kids. They cdn buy
thc•m at a book store LI they wdnt
ThJS JS not a book bdnnmg 1ssuE> di
c1U I'm saying, m Uus cornrnuruty,
parents want a Lurut to the amount of
sex or violence m a book put on our
~ dpproved • book hst These books
go past the lun1t dnd then some. I!.
lh1s what we rectlly want our lad!> to
rE'dd m school?
How do you answer the charge
that w hat you are doing amounts to
censorshJpJ
One board member isn't a censor.
It takes four votes to put these books
on the approved list. Each commuru-
ty detennines Its standards, its moral
ethic. As an elected trustee, the com-
munity has entrusted me w1Lh mdk-
ing important decision, with six other
trustees. Sometimes we accept staff's
recommendations. Sometimes we
don't. Can we have kids read any-
thing in school today because of free
speech issues? Hardly. We have a
dress code. We have the 4210 (zero
tolerance) rules. I t.hlnk this conserva-
uve community-mil wants to let kids
~ klds and clearly the books contain
mdture adult material.
Given that you typically are the
lone conservative voice on the board
when issues such as this come up,
what do you hope to accomplish by
raising such concemsl
1 hope people start think.mg
more about what vd.lues we want m
our Newport-Mesa ~chools, even If
they don't have kids who attend our
sch<>ols becduse children m our
sc-hools unpdct all of us.
In d postmodern cuJture steeped in
relatJv1sm, all values and belief sys-
tems are equaUy vdlid in constructing
whclt we want m our conunuruty. I
think there l!\ a silent majority who
nelieve these books don't belong m
c;chool You can't marginalize morals
or common sense by calling someone
d censor Faimess ~emands all views
ctre considered, even il they are con-
'>C'rvative. I, and people who have the
same values as I do, are sort of d
counter-cultural movement. On a
challenging tSsue. the views and

H ow does the backlash from the
commun1ty affect yo ul
Thdnkfully, I don't judge public
opinion only by what I redd m the
Pilot. There is c1 lot of <;upport put
there from think.log people who shit
belleve'tl'Jat sex is for after
marriage and that kids should be
learning about gerunds, Lnfinilives
and participles.
I'm pretty tough. I've had five
kids It doesn't bother me personally
The issue is bigger than that. I don't
get depressed. I sbll stand for what I
believe in.
It doesn't really bothE>r me Being
liked 1s not that important to me. I'm
out there to do whdt"s nght ctnd to
take a i.ldnd, even LI nobody supports
me.
Jn gene ral, how do you balance
your religious beUels with helping
to dJrect the publlc schools of New -
port-Mesa?
BeC'ausc we bve in a secular
society, I try to show respect of oth-
ers' beliefs dnd not be pushy with
mine. If I didn't have my faith, I
would probdbly find a big rock to
tude under after readihg Uus week's
letters to the editor. There are a lot of
Uungs I can't change clnd many times
I Just do my best, say a prayer and
trust God to work it out.
To the degree my relig10us beliefs
denve my ethics, I try to use logic
and reason to Justify my beliefs rather
than stncUy faith Al the end of the
day, people will understand
I'm not always m conflict. It's usu-

Present day -Februdry 200 I.
The energy Cl"lSlS deepens with
rolling blackouts, dally third swge
alerts and a $400-million rate
increase using taxpayer dollars.
There can be no doubt that the
seventy of the current cnsis can be
traced dlrectly to months of macbon
by Gov. Davis and the Democrat-
controlled legislature. Yes, the
restructuring law J>dSsed m 1996 had
i~ flaws. However. those flaws
became dpparent more than a year
ago, and our leaders did absolutely
nothing. Lei's set that record strdJght.
.Had they acted then, Cahforrua
would not be m a stdte of emergency
now But they dJdn't act, dnd now we
are left to pick up the pieces.
So what now? We must take bold
and deC1.S1ve action in three areas.
We must first act through short-term
government intervenbon to stabilize
the current market. This IS a step that
would not have been necessary just a
few months back but 1S now a reality
Second, we must begm unmedi-
ately to elinunate bureaucratic red
tape and restrictions lo bu1Jcting envi-
ronmentally clean sources of electnc
power. These i.ndude gas turbines,
hydroelectnc, wmd, biomass and
cogenerabon An obv10us first step is
lo immediately allow any exist:mg
power plant (many of wtuch are
decades old) to refit itsell to be more
efficient and less poUut:mg without
requuing an expensive and time-
consuming enVU'Orunental report
Why would anybody want to slow
down the process of ge~cleaner,
more efficient power to omians?
Third, we must take steps to move
toward a truly open retail market
with customer choice. U the long dis·
tance telephone company you regu-
larly use pays too much to buy phone
time and passes that price on to you,
you have the ability to go get another
long distance company.
Unfortunately. if your power compa-
ny does the same with your eJectrld-
ty. you have little cho1ce. ln a free
market. no one would be a slave to a
given power company. U Edison
makes a bad deal on power, they Will

your power from another company

plan deserves
city approval
L ook around Costa
Mesa and you'll see
plenty of temble
developments: worn·
down strip malls,
awful·look.ing restaurants and a
general mishmash of buildings
pressed together.
There are pockets of far
superior, even hrst·class, pro·
jects: the new Harbor Center
and South Coast Pldza, with its
ongoing improvements, dre
obvioyis eXamples t
And there lS one more sitting
before the City Councll on Mon·
day night: Town Center
The pro1ect, bemg put ,
together by C.J. Segerstrom &
Sons, the Ordnge County Per·
forming Arts Cei:iter and Com·
monwealth Partners LLC, has
been the target of much heated
criticism from council members
and residents, largely because
of its size and local.Jon wtUun an
area bordered by Bnstol Street,
Sunllower Avenue, Avenue of
the Arts and the San Diego
Freeway.
Plans for the 54-acre pro1ect
call for a pedestnan-onented
cultural arts dtstnct along
Avenue of the Arts, first·class
restaurants and a • butldtng
without walls" glass design that
would expose the Noguchi CalJ·
fomian Sculpture Garden
Particular vil{lol has been
tossed at Commonwealth's part
of the plan, which ts situated
around the Noguchi garden and
bordered by the freeway, Bris·
tol, Anton Boulevard and
Avenue of the Arts.
The opposition -which has
delayed tlus plan for months -
may be due in Pilrl to Common·
wealth's "outsider" status,
which makes 1t iln easier target
than.Costa Mesa patron Henry
Segerstrom.
But Commonwealth has act·
ed nothing like a money-hungry
developer The plans it has pre·
sented are well laid out. with a
emphastS on tmprovmg the look
and accessibility of the Noguchi
garden. 1
Commonwealth also has said
that 1 % of the money 1t spends
on the pro1ect wiU be put
toward art, such as rotating plat·
forms to display publlc art or art
mtegrated into the paving or
street furniture, a proposal that
some on the council saw as a
calculated trade·off.
But what the company is
proposing for its land would add
a sp~kling dimension to South
Coast Metro, wruch has the
potential to be a 1ewel not only
of Costa Mesa or Orange Coun·
ty. but aU of Southern California.
Commonwealth has created
world-class developments
throughout Cahlorrua and the
' country, mdudmg the 1994
redesign of Pershing Square m
Los Angeles. West Lawn Park ,
next to Los Angeles' Central
Llbrary and Plaza Las Fuentes
m Pasadena.
· Monday 'night, the City
Council has the chance to bring
such a development to Costa
Mesa.
It should take it.
No relief in sight
in Bechler case
I t's over, but It isn't.
On Thursday. a Jury found
Eric Bechler guilty of mur·
dering his wif4} Peqye, more
than three years ago ..
The decision was the condu·
sion to months of trial delays,
weeks of proceedings and sev·
en final, excruciating days of
waiting for the jury to make its
decision.
With the verdict, a story that
started as a fairy tale wedding
in a German castle ended as a
honor story on a rented speed·

D eep in the Land of Hank Aaron and
Southern hospitality IS nm DeCinces,
who grew~up in Newport Beach as
the son of a majoi leaguer and has adapted
so weU to his calling in Mobile, Ala., some
can make it sound like he's welcome
forever.
Take Tom Nichols, the radio play-by-play
broadcaster for the Mobile BayBears of the
Southern League: ·nm was a tremendous member of our
club last year,· Nichols said, "He played
the game the way it's supposed to be
played; be played hard, he's a smart player
and a team leader, and a guy we were
happy to have with us.
• M things turned out, he didn't see a lot
of playing time in the early part of last year,
but. by the end of the year, he may have
been our most productive bitter.·
DeCinces finished as the BayBears'
MCODd-leading bitter at .271 (comparing
players with over 200 at-bets), along with
l l home rum and 4.C RBis.

Otterbein shared goalie duties and held the
Knockouts scoreless in three quarters.
The girls created action that kept heeds
turning back and forth as a Back Bay boys
game was played on the field just 10 yards
away. That game, too ended in a tie.
After Newport Beach scored its goal, the
Ughtrung never gave up.
The Knockouts also battled through
Injuries. Morgann Schatzlien left the game
early when she damaged her shin, but she
returned and almost scored a goal in the
third quarter.
The Knockouts (1-0-2) were just five
minutes away from their second win of the
season. Earlier in the day, they tied with
North Irvine, allowing another game-tying
goal in the final five minutes. Barbie Argue-
ta gave the Knockouts the early 1-0 edge.

DeCinces said. "The good neW$ is that
(the Padres) know thal The bad news is
that they're still really loaded at catcher.•
Uke anywhere, baseball is about job
openings •. supply and demand, and timing.
"I don't know where I'll be this year. You
never know going into spring training,•
said DeCinces, who will report to minor
league camp next month in Peoria, Ariz.
"It will either be a return trip to Mobile or a
move to Portland (Ore.), the team's new
triple-A affiliate. We'll see how things shake
down 1n spring tra.Ui.tng, but I wouldn't mind
going back to Mobile if there was an
opportunity to play every day.•
Before last season, DeCinces was
acquired by the Padres in the double-A
phase of the Rule V Ora.ft, after playing five
seasons 1n the Baltimore organlzatton . The
Orioles dra.fted DeCincea out of UCLA in
June 1996 and sent him to Bluefield, W.Va.,
of the Appalachian Rookie Leaguo, where
he batted .297 with seven homers and 32
RBis.
Slnce then, DeCinces bu made llops at

COSTA tvfESA -The two coaches met at
midfield. Costa Mesa High boys soccer Coach
Eugene Day and Estancia Coach Steve C ren-
shaw hug9ed one another and discussed a
great battle of crosstown rivals vying for sec-
ond place in the Pad.fie Coast League.
•That's what we live for,• Day told Cren-
shaw who nodded bis bead in agreement. Day
then said but two words that described a score-
less tie between the Eagles and Mustangs on a
warm Saturday morning on Mesa's campus.
•Hard core: he said.
The Mustangs (11-5-2, 5-2-1 in league)
played without fear even after a 2-0 defeat
suffered at the hands of the Eagles on Jan. 10.
On Saturday, in a makeup game that was can-
celed because of rain, Mesa displayed a
strong desire to win. And, Estancia (9-4-4,
5-2-1), though a much different team than last
year, performed as champions.
Such is a rivalry game.
•This is fun,• Crenshaw said of the rivalry.
•These guys live in the same town. They play
together. They are friends. This is what a rival-
ry should be. It was a clean game. It was good
-------soccer. It was two good
"That's what teams that fought hard
and played with every-
liv & ,, thing they had.• we e sOI ... The Mustangs fired

off the first threat in the
fifth minute. Mesa
senior Trinidad Her-
nandez booted a shot.
-------but it was stopped by
Eagle gQalie Giovanni
Gonzalez who had three saves through the
first hall. He was battling the flu and Adam
Kapko replaced Gonzalez in the final 40 min-
utes. Kapko turned back four shots.
Gonzalez nearly let Mesa's firs~ shot slide
through his legs but be squeezed the ball a.nd
picked it up. He left the net five tinies to pre-
vent any other Mustang scoring thrt~t.
·we definitely bad the better chances,·
Day said. "We took it to them. (111e rivalry
game is) not just going to be: Estar.cia (win-
ning). It's going to be: Who will win this
game?"
With five minutes re maining before hall-
ti.me, Estancia senior Juan ZMate nearly
scored when he sent a shot that was blocked
and then cleared out by Mesa junior Stephen
Thomas.
The Mustangs kept the Eagles scoreless
with a physical defense and an ever-improv-
ing goalie, Bryce Sheridan. ,
In the 58th minute, Sheridan sprawled to
slap away a shot from Estancia senior Arman-
do Ortiz. Sheridan finished with seven saves
