MORAL OF THE STORY Notes from the Middlefust "As frightening as events can he, and as ominous as the future Is, 1 feel a peace that doesn't come from anything mat£rial, or anything I've done, but from deep within. My life is with God." -Joseph Girzone I am so thankful that I can trust God. I am writing this the day before my husband, Jon, and I leave for a trip unlike one we have ever taken. Tomor· row we will JOin six other people for a short-term mission ttip to Cauo, Egypt. After five days worlong with a chµrch tbere, we will have a change or pace when we spend three days on a Bedouin expedition to the Red Sea. Our trip will come to an end after three busy days in Israel, where we will me~t with local misSionanes as well as tour the city sights Today I paid bills and packed clothes, but r have been preparing my heart for months for this experience. One of the last things I will pack. and one of the first things I will unpack, will be my Bible. ls it because I'm spiritual? No, it's because J'm scared. This trip does not feel 100% safe to me. I know J will need to read passages about God's presence and protection. There is so much that is unknown about what lies ahead, but I know God, and I know that he is trustworthy. God was so very faithful to us. I am writing this section quickly after heanng the announcement that we are soon to land in Eilat, Israel. We boarded the plane exhausted but encouraged alter our time in Cairo. Too much happened to be summed up quickly, but God was with us, and the people in the church were so wann and friendly. The Egyptian government is neither wann nor friendly toward the church, however, and we were con- stantly followed by police. I never did get used to seeing so many machine guns. 1 am so thankful that I can trust God because tomorrow we start our Bedouin experience. There is so much that is unknown about what lies ahead, but I know God and 1 know that he 1s trust- worthy. God was so very faithful to us. This passage is being written just after I heard the announcement that we are about to land in Tel Aviv, Israel. Too much happened on the Sinai Peninsula to be summed up quickly, other than to say that God was with us and it was unforgettable. I was clearly out of my comfort zone, but God's love and pres- ence among our group was so strong that I felt surprisingly comfortable. Today we head to Jerusalem. There is so much that is unknown about what hes ahead, but I know God, and I know that be is trustworthy. God was so very faith- ful to us. I'm writing this dfter heanng the announcement that we are about to land in Los Angeles. Too much hap-· pened in Israel to be summed up quick- 1¥. other than to say that God was with us, and it was amazing and i.nspuing. Today we head home. I'm excited, but I guess I'm a bit nervous as weU. There is so much that is unknown about what hes ahead, but r know God and J know that he lS trustworthy. And you can quote me on that. • ONDY TRANE CHRISTESON Is a Newport Beach resident who speaks frequently to par- enting groups.

Alex Coolman DAILY PILOT A t the Superbodies gym on 18th Street in Costa Mesa, a man was running on a treadmill, pushing himself hard and not going anywhere. On the busy road outside, cars were rushing by on their way to J~ba Juice or NikeTown. And inside the Zen Center of Orange County, just across the street from Superbodies, Debo- rah Banett was discussJng zalu, the small, firm pillows the shape of jelly doughnuts that are used in sitting meditation. • 1t's soft enough to give you some cushlorung, but it also retains its consistency," said Bar- rett, the director of Zen training at the center. "Some of them are filled with kapok, an.d then some of them use buckwheat." The matter or finding a sup- portive seating arrangement might seem Wee a fairly mun- dane consideration. But in Zen custom, more so than in many other spiritual practices, sitting is something of an art. ~we spend a lot of time trying to find a good pos1tion for peo- ple,• she said, whether it's in a chair, kneeling, or in some varia- tion of the lotus position. Moreover, Barrett, unlike some practitioners, is a firm believer that Zen is not some- thing to be pursued exclusively on a mountaintop or 111 some dis- tant retreat. Zen should embrace all the rutty gritty realities of life, she thinks -from the noisy commerce of 18th Street to the details of a properly co structed cushion. The Zen Center is in the mid- dle of a series of Tuesday evening courses, •Nothing Spe- cial,• whose goal is to help par- tiopants find ways to make this real-worJd application of their spirituality. "All of this practice is designed for people who are working, who have family lives and are living Wee any American does,• said Barrett, a woman with short gray hair and oval glasses. Even in its title, the series, wtuch ls based on a book by Charlotte Joko Beck, emphasizes the everyday nature of the lessons Faith .

"Nothing Special• doesn't teach people how to meditate for a dozen hours straight or to reach a higher plane of existence, but il does, Barrett says, have some- thing to say for people who want to be a liWe more •mindful" as they go about their lives. "For most people, it's their childfen, their teenagers and their spouses that are the hard thing," she said, and not some vague plan to achieve nirvana. What Barrett thinks Zen can contribute to people's struggles with these realities is a greater sense of centeredness and care, the kind of "being in the moment" that many people assume is waiting just around the comer but somehow never manage to attain.

WEATHER AND SURF Doily Pik>t Barrett, 48, was orlgmally S,trawn to Zen when she was in college. She h&d considered her- self Catholic, but her spiritual advisor encouraged her to keep an open mind. • HOnce I discovered Zen, that was really it for me," she said. Often, the people who come to the Zen Center -and they come from San Clemente, from Anaheim, from Long Beach and elsewhere -have a similar background. They were raised m · some variety of Christian faith but tum to Zen, Without neces- sarily feeling ariy conflict between the practices, in search of a greater sense of depth. "They feel that they could be more than they are right now,• Barrett said. "They need some- thing to help that happen.• When they do get down' to meditation, the sheer shock of remaining still for a moment after a Uf e full of motion and distrac- tion can sometimes be unsettling. "People kind of want that sense of being close to them- selves and immediately involved in their lives1 and yet th.ey're afraid of it, too,• Barrett said. She pointed to Americans' enthusiasm for relentless televi- sion consumption and cell phone chatter as a symptom of this fear But in Zen practice, the time. spent at least trying to meditate, with cell phone turned off and rear end finnly planted on zafu pillow, is ess~tial "The big mistake people make is thinkmg that the y know · all about meditation because. they've read about It in books,· she said. "It would be like Ii you read a book about swururung but had never been in the pool. They know these things, but it's a question of getting them in the nght situation where we can help that to flourish." When newcomen. arrive at the center, therefore, the first the expenence is,-essentially, noth- ing. They sit silently on the zafu and listen to the11 thoughts or the nolSe of the cars humming down the street. For some people, tlus is not as easy as it sounds. · "If they don't know how to meditate, we just have them sit on a chair and be quiet," Barrett said.

Doily Pilot Soturdoy, February 12, 2000 A3 · Admit it or not, NIMBYs often get a bad rap e than a year ago, J wrote in this space at little kids were getting too many SOC'cer trcr phies Nothing I have written since provoked the fury of the reaction fo that occcr column, although one guy came dose. On Dec. 2, the Druly Pilot published a letter from a read- er who wrote, "Kids today are absolutely spoiled and Steve Smith is one of the major con- tributors to the over-coddling of youth that takes place in America tQday. • My coddled kids enjoyed. that one. But the soccer reaction was eclipsed last week by the anli- El Toro airport crowd, not in fury but in number Less than five hours after last week's El Toro column tut the lawns and patios of the twin qties, the E Toro reaction won. That was the good news. The bad news was that every e-mail I received supported my position that both locals and South County residents Steve Smith WHAT'S UP must jom now to stop the expansion of John Wayne Air- port. Apparently, the COIWIUl found its way onto a Web site chat room visited by both sides of the debate. After much consideration, which included a request for a ruling from Pilot editor Tony Dodero, J have decided not to use the names of those who wrote. but I cannot pass up the chance to use some excerpts One of the messages. from an off10dl of an antiairport group, stated that they had extended "olive branches" to the pro-airport people but were rebuffed. Talk is chedp. What I hope to see is action. Instead of telling me about the past, 1t would have been nice to open my mailbox a Jew days ago and read m the latest slick brochure from the aritiairport people that they are also helping to limit the expansion of Jobn Wayne A.JI. port with a method other than the sure-to-be-court-chal- lenged Measure F. Sadly, there isn't one word on the subject in the mailer. Slick brochures hitting hot buttons are expensive and there isn't money available for olive branches. The reaction from both sides, which, by the way, included Newport Beach resi- dents opposed to an El Toro airport, showed me that they have more ll1 common than they'd like to admit. The b1ggest link is not wanting a large auport in their neighborhood, but not minding 1t 1.11 someone else's. If you adhere to ttus policy, you are a NIMBY -which stands for "not in my uack- yard." • For yean., NIMBYs have weathered atldcks for oppos- mg such things dS nuclear waste dwnps, power plants, jails and, yes -airports. So, what's so bad about being d NIMBY, anywdy? Somehow, this notion thdl not Wdilting a big jail or a noisy, smelly auport or nuclear wdsle dump m on.e's area has a Sllgmd attached to it.

Scratch henedth lffe sur- face of the blather from both Sides and you'll find rampant NIMBYism But rather than use their corrunon NIMBY ground, the two sides have lobbed verbal and written hand grenades at each 0U1er to support the11 arlJUlllents.

Andrew Gluer 0AtLY PILOT \ CORONA DEL MAR - She celebrated her first buthday party ever with friends, margdr1tas, polka ·mumc and taco salad. "1 was always busy work· ing," said Sophia Cook, who · turned 95 years old on Fri· day. "I never had time to cel- ebrate." But Or} Fnday, Cook - whose arthritis in her knees has confined her to her bed and wheelchair for the past fi.ve years -partied hard. A church group from Our Lady Queen of Angels in Eastbluff brought meatball soup, a heart-shaped birth- day cake and margaritas - her favorite drink. They plugged in a small boombox and cued up "Moonlight Pol- ka." The women have alternat- ed visiting Cook -who is at home alone with her care- taker and talking green parakeet, Sam, most days - for months. Rosemary Warde brings her soup, so Cook calls her "Soup Lady." Vicki Klein bnngs Gennan crepes and is called "Blini Lady." There's also a "Beer Lady,• "Margari- ta Lady" and "Leftover Lady." On Friday, they all joined Cook at her cozy home. A Costa Mesa hairdresr;f'r cut and styled her whitt! h:\lr into a neat bob. And he macle her up lightly, to bring O\J ~ ller eye color.

Whimsical elements are accessories that are slightly incongruous to our decorat- ing style-such as a carved bear hat rack in the foyer of an elegantly appointed British Colonial home, a stuffed fish hanging in an unexpected stairwell, or a beautiful pair or sconces that resemble Scottie dogs. Touches of whimsy add a giggle m our day, interrupt our mental status quo and bring an au of nonchalance to the serious business of life. •The creation of a home environment begms as a declaration of indepen- dence and evolves mto an expression of self that is as distinctive as a hngerprlnt • according to Judy George, CEO of Domain Home Fashions and author ·o{ "The Domain Book of Intu- itive liome Design.• ~eorge adds, "l strive to stir my readers' passions and encourage thetr creativ- ity." Adding whuns1cal ele- ments is one way she encourages her clients and • readers to.exercise that rrus- chievous inner child. Popular intenor designer Elizabeth Speert is famous ' fo r her sense of whimsy. Karen Wight NO PLACE LIKE HOME Speert's affection for animal art and offbeat combina- tions have made her wacky style enormously popular. Speert's mantra professes a disregard of labels and she often rescues castoffs from junk shops to reuphol- ster and use among the family heulooms and "important" furruture. As 1f she is humming a song from Mary Poppins, "in every job that must be done, there 1s an element of fun," Speert adds color and pattern in reckless abandon anq always includes an odd piece or three in her pro- jects.

He added that it proves the local government system works and does not need the Green- light measure. The i.tutiat1ve proposes to give city residents the power to vote on developments that would requiie a major amendment to the dty's Gen- eral Plan. The measure ·defines •major" as any pro- ject that would create more than 100 peak-hour car trips, add more than 100 homes or contain more than 40,000 square feet of floor area beyond current General Plan limits. While city officials are oy no means siding with the Greenlight group, they are starting to realize the obvious shift in the dty's voting popu- lation against further growth. •Tue atmosphere of the city has changed,• said Councilman Dennis O'Neil, who headed the committee that first approached the Irvine Co. five years ago about developing a long- term plan for the build-out of Newport Cenfer. •When it's good fiiumdal times, people tend to look more at quality of life: Back then. the dty was in the midst or a recession - starving for new revenue sources and fretting about its economic future. The ldea was for a mixed-use plan that would include retail, office and residential development, O'Neil said. Unfortunately, the Irvine Co. and other companies did- n't start moving on the oppor- tunity unW three years later. By that time, the economic win<\s had shifted, said Kevin Murphy, former Newport Beach dty manager. Times were good agaio and the community became more interested in maintaining its quality of life than saving city services. •nie tide had turned from pro-development to anti- development in California,• he~d. 1b1s change in the resi- dents' perspective on their city's future led to the birth of the slow-growth initiative. Before the plans were derailed, there were four companies linked on one General Plan amendment application. The idea was to share 'the costs of studies and supporting documents. The only remaining prop- erty owner on the applica- tion, the Newport Beach Country Qub, is proposing to build 150 homes on its prop- erty. .

Coast Rep's educational touring production will bring tears to grown-ups and_ entertain youngsters. By Ala Coolman • S THE SHOW OF "MY MOM'S DAD" LET OUT at South Coast ·Repertory on Monday evening, an odd sight unfolded in the lobby. · The children in the audience were smiling . broadly and scampering around, looking very much like kids who had just seen a funny, entertaining musical. But the adults were behaving rather differently. Many of them were ashen-faced, and more than a few were dabbing a l<leenex at the tears running down their cheeks. The show, South Coast Repertory's educational touring production, is designed as a small-scale musical for schbol- age children. Much of the performance is full of the pep- py songs, bright colors and com- ic antics that are guaranteed to entertain the K-6 demo- graphic. "My Mom's Dad • hits some deeper notes, too. The story, which follows the attempt of d young girl to form a friendship with her grandfather, touches movingly on the importance -and the difficulty -of communicating with loved ones. If there are plenty of teenagerish lines that end in •sort of.• there is also a kind of simple profundity to the connec- tion the musical draws between the experiences of the young and the old. Although the girl thinks of her grandfa- ther as a man set in stone, she comes to learn that he is as vulnerable and unformed as she is. "Nobody's done growing as long as they're alive," is how the grandfather puts it. The musical is tounng Orange County schools that have I CONRAD lAU I DAllY PllOT Above, John-David Keller and Courtney Wagner in a scene from ..

In weeks ahead, it will appear at many Newport-Mesa schools, including Adams Elementary in Costa Mesa and Eastbluff Elementary in Newport Beach. Everywhere it goes, "My Mom's Dad" generates both laughter and tears. Gina Ferrante, vice principal at Loara Elementary in Ana- heim, said she found herself overcome, while watclung the show earlier this month. "I lost it,• Ferrante said. "I bawled my eyes out." On the other hand, she said, the K-6 contingent was enchanted by the musical's vibrant energy and the Viet- namese fairly tale that forms the story's core. "The children loved it," she said. "It was a nice balance of the emotional, sensitive scenes and the humor. I'm not sure how much of the deeper message they got, but it's a great experie~ce for them just to be exposed to theater." The Loara teacher who lobbied for "My Mom's Dad" to be brought to the school, Carmen Guo, said the production got students talking about their families. "Some of them said, •1 always thought that my grandma and grandpa and my mom and dad were so old that they didn't have fun when they were young,'" Guo said. For that matter, she said, the show c;aused her to remi- nisce a little, as well. SEE TOUR PAGE A22 The Stitches have local punk scene sewn up Band brings its hard-edged music to Club Mesa on Feb. 19 Alex Coolmen DAILY PILOT A t the K-B Club in Long Beach, where all the punkers and skateboarders have their fin- gers in their ears, things are getting ugly. Pabst Blue Ribbon has been selling for a dollar at the bar, and the crowd has been diligently drinking its way through the first two acts or the night. A small mushroom cloud of cigarette smoke is billow- ing up against the celling like a, carcinogenic version of heaven. It's hot. Everybody's drunk. But nobody's dancing. In fact, everybody in the club is scowling. A shrill shriek of gwtar feedback,. the reason for their plugged ears and the source of their unhappiness, is blaring through the PA. The singer for the third dct, The Stitches, is nowhere to be found Stitches gwtarist John- ny Witmer left his six-string Fantastic FIVE TODAY squealing against his amplifi- er a few minutes ago p.nd ran off through the crowd. • By the time he comes back, dragging singer Michael Lohrman to the stage, the crowd looks less ready to dance than to fight. They're teetering on the knife edge that separates intoxicated exuberance from surly belligerence. But for The Stitches, and for Lohrman in particular, things are looking just right. Lohrman, his body Ump and sweaty, leers at the scowling faces, taunting them. Then he screams out a count for the band, and launches into a tune that's sloppy, loud as bell, and even more obnoxious than the feedback had been. And if the crowd didn't understarid it before, they get it now: The Stitches, who play Club Mesa on Feb. 19, are not a tidy, pleasant, . digestible rock act. They're punks. Their act isn't ugly by accident; that's the way it's suppoSed to be, and that's what makes it exciting.

The Stitches have been around since 1993, when Lohnnan and Wittner started working on a band whose sound and image would draw from early punk acts such as the New York Dolls and the Sex Pistols. Bassist Peter Archer joined the - IDIY group a year later. The band has gone through several drummers, with Eddie Gaxiola now fill-. ing that role. But they've stuck to essentially the same sound, writing fast, blaring tunes about the gnmmer side of life. They've released a couple of singles and cl1l eight-song CD and record, and are in the process of record.mg a full•lengtb album. For a long time, Costa Mesa was a Stitches land- mark. Lohrman lived at a house on 20th Street that was e sort of warren for question· • TllSDIY The Na11*t lilCh Naik lblfY's MW M ....... -0,~apn.fhe .. of ...wcolM .., _, .... ._..°"""*' ....._ ff-... • Ptlincft-• .....,_It ............. ....

"It used to be a nun's con- vent, but w~ really kind of turned it the other way," Lohrman said. •1t was a real- ly cool scene. All the bands were playing together and supporting each other." Witmer remembers that period a little differently, say- ing that the atmosphere was "not too healthy• et times, but still regards the area, and Club Mesa in particular, as •a kind of home spot for us. "It was one of the first clubs we did shows at,• he said. Today, the band is dis- persed around Los Angeles and Orange County. Witmer lives in Hollywood, while Lohrman and Gaxiola are in Laguna Beach and Archer spends his days in Fullerton. When they come together for a live show, though, the manic, dysfunctional energy of the grimmest Costa Mesa times does not seem far away. Whether Lohrman is knocking over the drum kit or tightening the microphone cord like a noose around his neck, he gives off the vibe of a man who knows his partic- ular genius is for self- destruction.

From Seal Beach to San Clerne.:1te, the coast~ line abounds in the stuff. But if rou're putting on a play thats set on a beach and need, say. a few tons of it for your setting, be pre- pared tO break out the checkbook. That's what director Terri Miller Schmidt found out when she started looking !or the sand required for her play, "Coastal Disturbances," which opened this weekend at the Costa Mesa Civic Playhouse. "You can'~ take any of the sand from the beach," Schmidt said. "It's like the landscaping. It's city property." So, the playhouse wound up shelling out $900 to have 151 bags of sand, al 125 pounds each, moved from Quality Building Supply in 1 Iuntrngton Beach to the back door of the Civic Play- house, where it now covers the entire stage of the the- ater where the Tma Howe play is unfolding. "The Sclild is like a 10th character i.n the play; Schmidt said. UWhen the actors flfst started walking on H, they were dropping lines and rms~ing entrances .• Actually, the "CoaslaJ Dis- turbances" car:.t memb"ers had gone through a dry, or rather sandy, run.Schmidt took them down the coast to Moss Point in Laguna Beach for a recent rehearsal. But after a half hour, the tide washed in and put a ddmper on the drama, forcing the company to relocate further down the coast. "The bedchgoers provi~ ed an audience," she noted, ddding that during moments ' of .conflict, some bystanders who didn't realize 1t was a play nearly got involved, but ~ dandelion h¥'old gooda 432 E. 17rh Sc., Cosra Mesa, Tues.~Fri.

The play is seldom performed, Schmidt said, because of the logistics involved. Since it'~ set on the Atlantic C<mst, off Massa ... chusetts, Schmidt contacted a woman in that state -and struck paydirt. · "She sent out family pie- tures, brochures, newspa- pers and maps of the area so we c;.ould farniliahZe our- selves with that section of the country," Schmidt said. The director is a native Cali- fornian, born in Compton, who's been staging plays in Costa Mesa and Newport Beach for several years. Her work ranges from the musi- cal revival "Bells Are Ring- ing" to Arthur Miller's heavy drama "The Price," both at lhe Newport Theater Arts Center.

"I'm really proud of the Costa Mesa Playhouse for taking a chance on an unknown and difficult-to- stage play like this,· Schmidt said. "It's nice to put on the popular musicals, thdt you know will draw, but we need plays like thi~ to provide a sense of balance." She and her company will face another problem once the play closes next month. Namely, getting all that sand off the stage before the'next production gets under way. ·u we'd thought that far ahead, we could have fol- lowed 'Coastal Disturbances' with 'Seascape' and 'To Gillian on Her 371.h Birth- day,'# she said, laughing. Both of those plays have beach settings.

Newport chamber questions Greenlight initiative Recently, the Newport Beach C1ty Council dgreed to plac(• a controversial lJUba- tive Qn the November ballot. Sup- porters of Uus 1rut1dtive, which could have deep-waching unpli- cabons, have tilled 1t the "Grcen- light lruballve. • This tmtiabve would require a Mlywide vote on all developments that would seek a "ma1or• general plan amend- ment. The •ma1or• 1s defined as creating more than 100 peak-hour car trips, more than 100 homes or more than 40,000 square feet of floor area over what th<' nly's general plan allows. Although tJu.s initiative seems to be pretty strd1ghtforward, · num~rous arbcles have appeared over the past few weeks that have raised many confusing quesbons to the Newport I farbor Area Chamber of Commerce as well as the community as a whole. The chamber and volunteer committees are concerned about contlicting reports or lack of deh- rutions. from the proponents of the initiative. The following is a llst of questions th.al dc~rve further .analysis and discussion. QuesUon l -Would unpor- tant and needed establishments such as churches, synagogues or schools fall 1,1.J1dcr the initiati_ye? QuesUon 2 -Would the Greenlighl lnitiativ<' revert New- port Beach's newly renovated naffic Phasing Ordinance? This _ new version of the 'ITaffic Phas· ing Ordinance (the tough(lst of its Richard Luehrs COMMUNITY COMMENTARY kind in Orange County) has brought the city out of ineVltable lawsuits which put the oty in a severely vulnerable state as recently as a year ago. Question 3 -Where will the funding come from to hold the numerous special elections for developments throughout the oty that the initiabve would trigger? Let us remember that research has shown (not retroactively) a simple Starbucks on a street cor- ner would require a vote of the people~ Question 4 -How many spe- cial elections would actually take place? It is no secret that overall voter turnout is very low for city, state and federal elections, so who would turn out to decide if a new Starbucks was to be built? Question 5 -Does the initia· tlve ensure that new develop-· • rnent is still studied for its envi- rorunental unpacts, or will all new projects simply go to the bal- lot Wlthout this sort of review? Question 6 -Does the iniba-• tive include all developments tn the "precedmg 10 years?" Some of the supporters have said that it is retroactive while others have seemed to be unclear when the Greenlightiinplicationstake effect. The interpretation of th.ts initiative still seems to be in question by the people who wrote it. Question 7 -How will the Greenlight lrutiative amend the city's general plan on various reqwrements not related to traf- fic? For example, will current requirements for schools and ser- vices now reqw.red by the gener- al plan be changed to accommo- date the Ul.itiative? Question 8 -ls th.is a otywide measure, or is it segmented into 49 indiVidual ·zon~· of the city? The supporters themselves have said that analyzing all 49 •zon~ • of the city (both presently and retroac- bvely) IS a tremendously confusing and an almost unpossible task. QuesUon 9 -If the city IS to be broken down into 49 individ- ual zones, what sort of city administrative cost will the initia- tive create to track all of these zones? · Questlqn 10 -Who will pay for all of the research that will n~d to be conducted to deter- nune if a special elcruo'o Is need- ed? Supporter~ have~ Sd.ld the city may pay for this extensive rescdrch, however, not more than three months ago the city mandg- er's ofhce reported that if New- port Beach stdyed on its current econorruc cour..e, debt would engulf the city in hve years QuestJon t 1 -Will the Green· hght lrubdllve redUy stop any t.r:dffic problems in the city? .

This amount provides for the annual debt payment of $550,000, approxi- mdtely $1 million for maintenance and operations, still more for salaries and findlly approXlmately $550,000 for library materials. The purpose of the Library Pounddbon, its endowment fund dnd other support groups, 1s to supph:;ment the library matena.ls por- bon of the budget thereby endbling the Bod.rd of Trustees to mamtcun d fU'St- class library system for our citiZens. The gOdl of the foundation's endow- ment campaign is to rdlSe $2.5 million. That money will be placed m rock solid inv~tments. The interest earned from those inve.unents d.fe to be used to sup- plement the library system dS may be appropridte over the ensuing years. Conservdbvely. those funds should earn at least $100,000 per yed.f. These earn- ings, combined wit.h other funds that the foundation should raise edch year, could reach $200.000 per year of additional funding tor the library. This is a very sig· ruficant sum of non-taxpdyer money for the library system. In fact. it could reach 3on., of the library matenals' budget when the program is complete. However, l.f we are to aclueve those goals, the foundation and the library trustees must mdlnla.ur a resolve not to tap those endowment funds for instant grabfi.cation. Rather. the foundation should squirrel awtly those funds to level out funding for the library dv.nng good bmes and bdd. . The public should also know that our library receives generous i.-upport from The Friends of the Llbrary and tuhds from the Carl Ackerman Estate. In the case of the FnP.nds. new accounts indi- cate that therr annual contribution is in the $100,000 range. The Ackerman Estate contributes still another $55,000 per yed.f. Thus, one could argue that the library depends on the public for nearly 50"o of its library matenals' budget That translates mto fantastic pubhc support. It is t0cumbcnt on clll mvolved to accept the fact that lh1s support is not to be taken for granted. Perhaps all of us need to remember tlu.s CLARENCE J.

A World War ll hero as a bomber pilot, notable member of a bams~orming tennis tour to promote the game in the 1950s and Richard Dunn nNNIS the UCI men's tennis coach from 1966 to 1979, McNamara has a legacy that bolds serve against anyone And, these days, UCI is still benefibng from McNamara's influence with an endowment in his name instituted by a collecbon of former players, fnends and colleagues. Those who were on the ground floor of the endowment will be recognized today in pregarne ceremonies before UCI's nonconference match against UCLA. "What better way is there to start (an endowment), then after the man who basically started the program here?" said UCI Coach Steve Clark, a Newport Beach resident "(McNamara) gave the program the reputation 1t has. He stood for loving people, loving tenrus and having integrity.· The day of McNamara's memonal service in April 1998, Clark and a few others, including some UCI alumni who played under the late coach, talked about starting an endowed scholarship fund in his name. Shortly thereafter, tennis legend and longtime McNamara friend Jack Kramer •stepped up in a huge way,• Clark said, and the ball started to roll.

"We could have gotten an at-large bid last year, but it didn't work out. This year, we knew for sure we were going to make the playoffs. We're gonna Win (in CIF) this year." Such self-assuredness about her team's playoff future belies Harvey's modesties regarding her own game. "I feel guilty if I don't perform my best," she said. "It doesn't matter if I score goals. If I thought I could have played better, I'm still disappointed after a game." Harvey said she has only occasionally left the field satisfied, but Evans has found little complaint with her performance. "She has a great attitude, she's a gamer and she's fun to coach," Evans said. "She's always at practice on time, ready to go and work hard." A role player on last year's team, this .club veteran burst on to the scene this season with three goals in a season·openjng win over Foothill. Since then, she has been detennined to be a consistent offensive threat. . "Now that I've scored a few goals, I have to keep it up to keep the respect of my team,• Harvey said. "Sometimes I smell the goal and sometimes it's luck. There are a lot of good people on our team and I can't score if they don't play • well." She warrants the respect of\her opponents, who often try to take her out of her game with aggressive, physical play. "I might not be the stn>ngest player out there,• said the 5-foot-10, 130-pound Harvey. "It seems like with some girls we play, their whole job is to take you out of your game. But you have to lcnow what you're job is and not let them bother you. Sometimes they can frustrate you', but you have to get over il" Harvey gets over on opponents with a wide range of attacking maneuvers. "We like to send a lot of crosses and Allison is one of our finishers tn the middle,• Evans said. Harvey, wno also runs track for the Sea Kings, began playing soccer in the fourth grade. She started her club career two years later and currently plays for Long Beach-based Infinity. . "She's also in the Olympic Development Program," Evans said. Harvey said she enjoys the competition soccer provides. "Especially after going to school all day, it's great to get Ol;lt on the field and run," she said.

Leaming experience for Orange Coast • Six freshman out of seve~ players makes th.is season difficult to forecast for the Pirates. Tony Altobelli DAILY PILOT COSTA MESA -With experience at a minimum, the Orange Coast College women's tennis team will sim· ply take the 2000 season one match at a time. "We're very young, that's for sure," Coach Janice Maran said. "We need to get some matches under our belt. You can't replace experience and that's what we're lack- ing." With six freshmen players and only one sophomore, this year is filled with unan- swered questions. One Community college TENNIS /111\ OUTLOOK'-' OCC WOMEN Lot Keijzer Fr. Erka Goode Fr.

Coach: Janice Maran thing's for sure: athleticism will not be a problem "We definitely can hit the ball well," Maran said. "We have some very athletic players. We'll just have to find out how they handle playing under the conference pressure.• The Pirates' lone returner from last year's second-place squad is sophomore Shannon Gibson (Newport Harbor High), who was a No. 4 singles player for Maran's team. Another player that has stayed local is freshman Jessica Andrus (Newport Harbor). Look for an international flavor from OCC this year with freshmen Lot Keijzer (Amsterdam, Holland) and Kaori Nagashima (Yokosuka, Japan). Looking at the Orange Empire Conference picture, Maran feel$ that defending champion Irvine Valley as well as Sad- dleback look to be the favorites going in. "NC has a bunch of returners and Saddleback is always tough to beat," Maran said. "It'll be tough in or conference, just like it always is, especially for our young group.• TENNIS CONTINUED FROM 81 serVed to all fans in attendance -or as long as the food lasts -beginning at 11 :30 a.m., along with a hit-for-prizes contest.
