Andrew Glazer and Amy Spurgeon DAILY PILOT' He is on tour promoting his new st book, •A Durable Peace: Israel " d Its Place Among the Nations." The former leader -whose l ard- line stance making territoridl c ces- sions with the Palestinians parked controversy both in Israel and among American Jews -stood behind his policies. He said treaties are easy to sign, but difficult to enforce. R'abbi Mark S. Miller, in his intro- duction' to Netanyahu, Sdid he agreed. . ' .. MONDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 2000 •• NEWPORT BEACH -Former Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told nearly· 1000 Jews Sunday that they must invest in Israel's future to insure the survival of the Jewish race. -u Israel had not come into exis- tence after World War II than I am certain the Jewish race wouldn't have survived," said Netanyahu, who was replaced· by Ehud Barak last year. "l stand before you and say you must strengthen your corrunit- me nt to Israel. You must become leaders .J;lnd stand up as Jews. We must be proud of our past to be con- fident of our future." Netanyahu · made the address, which he titled "The Pas·t <;::entury into the New Mil- lennium" at Temple Bat Yahin. He looked and· sounded softer than his hawkish, finger pointing days on camera while in office. He cracked many jokes With adept cometlic tim- ing. And the circumference of his waste seems to have expan~ed. "A little bit of ink on paper may not prevent a lot of blood m the streets," M~er said.

Snowden is good friends with Arizona Sen. John McCain. The two met some years back at a ceremony where a Comanche heli- copter was dedicated in the . name of fonner Newport Beach resident and actor John Wayne. McCain-is reportedly a big fan of the "Duke" and wanted to be on hand for the event. As for trying to get McCain to Orange County, Snowden said he hopes the senator will make a ·pit stop in Newport-Mesa this week.

A dreamy vision of the theater as a vibrant, liying venue comes to mind, and all that seems necessary to make it happen are a few committed players and a little community support.

Jan. 18, 54 South 161 East aboard Alaska Eagle: I t's a beautiful day in the Southern Ocean, with a 30-knot southwesterly pushing us through big lumpy, seas toward the Auckland Islands 100 miles away. Alaska Eagle is running along at a steady 10 knots with a reefed main, staysail and small jib topsail out on the pole. We spent the last two days anchored off the research station at Sub- . antarctic Mac- quarie Jsland, where we were the first yacht to vislt in more than three years. Soon after we dropped anchor we were invited to dinner and mot on shore by Louise, leader of the 40-person stalf of the Aus- tralian National Antarctic Research Expedition. It turned out that Louise and several other station members were keen sailors and enjoyed seeing Alaska Eagle sail past in gusty conditions before we dropped anchor. Dinner at the station's comfortable dining hut was full of good food and conversation. We enjoyed learning about the interesting research being conducted on the island's flora, fauna, and geology. It was great to meet 40 sci- entists and graduate students who couldn't be happier with their sell- imposed enle at one of the world's remotest islands. We discovered that Macquarie, now a World Heritage site, is an exceptional island. .. A lone sentinel in the Southern Ocean, Macquarie lies 900 miles south of Tasmania in the path of the West Drift, on the edge of the Antarctic Con- vergence Zone. Eighteen miles long by three miles wide, the island runs north and soutli, presenting a slender ban'ier against the westerly storms that march relentlessly around the world. The only other places that share the same latitude are Cape Hom and South Georgia Island. The weather is wet, windy, and cold year-round, with a mean tempera- ture of 40 degrees. Ram falls about 25 days a month and strong winds are recorded 22 days a month. Parks and Wildlile Service met nine of us on the beach for a rugged 15 mile hike. We hiked up to the island's 1,200 foot plateau, down to a research hut at spectacular Bauer Bay on the West Coast, then back over the top of the island to Sandy Bay, home to a huge Penguin rookery. The Macquarie Nature Reserve is home to nullions of Kmg, Royal, Centoo and Rockhopper penguins. Thousands of huge sea elephants and fur seals also inhabit the island's narrow rocky beach- es and tussock grasslands. Along with 68 other species or buds, the endan- gered Wandering Albatross nests along the island's steep coastal slopes. From Sandy Bay, we spent an incredi- ble two hours wallang back to the research station through thousands of penguins and giant sea elephants. Against the steep cl.ifCs overhead, Alba- trosses and Skuas roamed the sky. We arrived back tired, but on schedule for a roasted lamb dinner at the station, this time with linen tablecloths and candle- light. Between the incredible pristine beauty of the island and tho quality of life of its human inhabitants, it was easy to see why the Macquane Islanders wished to stay beyond thcrr allotted 13 month tours of duty. The morning following our dinner ashore provided unusual weather: light winds and sunshine. It was good hiking weather, and Alaska Eagle rode easily in the exposed anchorage at Buckles Bay.

Whether it's stealing candy or robbing a bank, different levels of punishment 9fe ad.mirustered when caught However, there are times when the pun- ishment is out of balance with the crime. There are several residents of Newport Beach who are experiencng this problem. Are they perpetrators, living daily with the premeditated thought of harming others? Or are they victims being punished for some- thing they didn't cause, create or deserve? Gary and Cheryl Shepherd live on New- port Island. They purchased their house because it bas a boat dock to accommodate their Skip- jack-26. Their gangway extends approxi- mately 10·feet from the bulkhead and sits atop their dock. 1Wo pilings hold the dock in place that is of course until there's a low tide. Wben the tide is low, their dock sits on top of sand, sludge, beer cans and just about everything else that flows into our harbor as a result of rain run off. As the dock bangs up and down on this buildup of sand at low tide, the pilings and supports break under all the twisting. However, there is a sunple solution. All that is needed to resolve Uus minor dilemma is to sunply dredge the years of sludge buildup, a process that would take approxi- mately one-half hour. So what's the problem? The problem is you have to get a permit from the California Coastal Commission. Because there is eel- grass growing under the Shepherd's dock, even if the commission granted them a per- mit to dredge, they would have to agree to transplant the grass. •01<, we'll transplant the grass so give us the permit,• Shepherd said to the commission. -It's just not that easy, accordJng to the Coastal Commission, as it also requires envi- ronmental impact reports; marine life impact studies; inspections; layouts and designs; underwater topography surveys; forms filled out; permits; applications; postings; hearings; and of course, the permit fee. Folks, we're talking about dredging sludge beret An area or approximately 20 feet by 3 feet and 1-foot deep -smelly sludge, old dia- per's, tin cans and other Jwllc that Dows into our pleasure pond. The Shepherds are not killing dolphins, harpooning whales or dump- ing sewage into the bay; they're just bred of those costly repairs because of what's been dropped off in back of their house. I'm certainly not opposed to a government agency overseeing an action that could cause hann to otlr harbor. But the Shepherds are trying to clean it up -not damage Ltl Even after you file the appropriate applica- tions, the commisSion is in no hurry to review the issue. It takes weeks and months before the application is even acknowledged. • TEMANCE PHIUJPS Is the Dally Pilot's boat1ng writer.

Por Michele Roberge, 0Xf!CUtive director or the Balboa Pertorming Arts Theatre Foundation, these kinds of questions aren't . just some abstract consider- ation. They're what will determine whether the dri· ve to restore the theater will succeed or fail. Roberge said she tries to sell potential donors on "the . entire concept" of the the· ater, emphas1zmg what will be different enough and new enough about it to attract an interested audience. ' The theater can offer a unique expenence, she said, because at 350 seats it pro- vtdes a more intimate envi- ronment for plays and per· formances than can be found elsewhere. And hopefully that dngle will be compelling to people Wlth deep pockets, because the theater's small size dlso means that its ability to gen- era.le revenue from the box office is limited. Like the bal- let and the opera, the theater will need to drum up money from somewhere else.

Despite the fee, Cuneo said it's always been easy to attract volunteers.
