"They were walking down the beach after playing volleyball.• ROCKIN' SUNSET ' Murphy said, who interviewed Becbler's lrlend, Kobi Laker, in October. •Laker said, 'What do you think?' and then asked Bech- ler if he was prepared to 9 0 through with it. He mentioned something about dumping her in a barrel out at sea. Laker said, 'This is crazy. Why don't you get a divorce?'• Bechler, 32, of Newport Beach, was ordered to stand trial on charges of murdering Pegye Bechler, his wife, for financial gain. Bechler still maintains his irlno- cence, saying his wit\ was thrown overboard by a wave. His dttor- ney, John D. Barnett, argued that prosecutors did not present any evidence that an actual crime had been committed~ · ·she can't show [Pegye Bech- ler) died at the hands of another,• said Barnett. Bechler told police that he and his wife rented a 19-foot speed- boat on July 6, 1997, to celebrate their fifth wedding anniversary. He said the two drank margaritas before Pegye Bechler, then 38, began towing her husband behind the boat on a body board.

He said the boat was empty when he came up to the surface. Pegye Bechler's body was nev- er found. ButSuperior CourtJudge John W. McOwen said Fnday that . Deputy Dist. Atty.

Daily Pilot .The. ties' that bind ·Men's fellowship breakfast brings men -and women -of faith together to discuss friendship, religion and the meaning of life A1ex'eoo1man DAllY PILOT ~ T he waitresses leave a full pot of coffee in the Bunn-o- Matic machine by the table where the men meet. They've watched the men gather before, so they know what to expect. And when the guys file into Coco's in Fashion Island at 7 a.m .. Thursday mornings, they look . like they can use a little support. They snatch up white ceramic mugs and pour themselves small, caffeinated rivers. It's not just about trying to 1 wake up, ·atthougb that's certain- ly part of it. It's also about having some- thing to hold while they speak to each other, somelbing to sip from while listening to a story, some- thing that's siIQplc dnd comfort- ing they can share. It's about fellowship. That's why they keep coming back. Many of the men are mem- bers of St. Michael and All Angels Episcopal Church in \orona del Mar. A few are from the nearby United Methodist Ulurch . For the more most :t· they're retired. · Arqund the table at a rece t morning meeting were gathered a forme1 Marine helicopter pilot, a former d.irline pilot. a retired librarian and a handful o( semi- retired a cademics They're men wbo have put in decades working in their profes- sions and now have the time and spiritual desire to forge stronger connections with God and witb each other. And the meetings -though they are quite informal and fea- ture far more eating and joking around than praying -help to strengthen those ties. "Doing something togeUler - I don't care if it's building a house together, painting a house togeth- er, or listening to a talk-is what enables you to became a genuine group, I think,• said Keith Nelson, a UC Irvine history professor who has been involved with the morn- ing meetings off and on for three years. "You can construct a tradi- tion around a meal.· The meeting format has remained essentially the same since the get-togethers began in 1995. These days, said the Rev. Peter Haynes, rector at the Epis- copal church, women are wel- come to come, but the content isn't any different. The men, and a woman or two, gather to socialize briefly and slug down a few dozen cups of coffee. Then a speaker pre- MARIANN.I\ DAY MASSl'Y I DAllY Ill.OT Professor Robert V.

Hine's talk briefly touched on" religious themes. He argued that the original Mormons were radi- cal in thetr approach to coounu- nitariani.sm and joked that Epis- copal setUers waited for thP invention of the Pullman train before electing Lo move We!>t. But the point of the talk wasn't to deliver any particular ethical messag~. It was to share a little bit of history in an informal way. When the food started to arrive at the table partway through his talk, Hine revealed where his pri- orities lay: •Do I gel to eat now?" be asked, eagerly eyeing the bas- kets of rolls, the plates of bash browns and scrambled eggs. Presbyterian Church of the Covenant bolds a Wednesday mornings fellowship group at Vtl- Lage Farmer restaurant in Costa Mesa. At those meetings, religion is dealt with in a more overt way. "We really have a belief (hat a person's relationship with God Is remforccd and encouraged by . personal relationships,· said the Rev. Tim McCalmont, the church's pastor. "We do our best to help our people get into rela· 'tions.tups with other folks in the church community." Th . combination of the reli· gious content and the sen e of community is very powerful for members, McCalmont said "Men come LDlc;> these groups and lhey go, •Wow. Where has this been all my life?' " McCdl- mont said. But even without addres..,mg religion very cxplioUy, St. Michael's meetings still manage to be a ;:;uur~ of deptl. and meaning tor the men who come. Their simple value, for many of the men1t>ers, is the opportwlity the gathertngs provide·for getting to know each other a little better. "These guys are mostly so self-effacing that you would nev- er know what they've done in their lives.~ Nelson said. When members are called on to address the group, it often turns out they have intarestinq stories to tell Speakers have talked about experiem es in the world wars, about flying B-17s ovN Berlin. for eJCample.

Daily Pilot Saturday, March 11 , 2000 A3 UJ:1"e shouldn't reject ~outh CountyS . olive branch B efore I tell you a story, here's my position: ram firmly against any expansion of John Wayne Air- port and I will vigorously fight · any such plans, both in this space and elsewhere. But don't ask me to endorse a big, noisy, smelly airport eight miles down the road at El Toro. U a big, noisy, smelly ~rt is not good' for us, it's not good for our neighbors .lrl El TOfO, either. Here's the story. Ten days before Tuesday's vote, the El Thro Reuse Planning Authori- ty, a coalition of South County cities, passed this resolution: "Now therefore be it resolved, that the El Toro Reuse Planning Authority Board of Directors calls upon . the Board of Supervisors to fonnAlly terminate any further consideration of alternatives for the expansion of John Wayne Airport; and be it fur- ther resolved, that the El Toro Reuse Planning Authority and its member communities and organizations will join bands Steve Smith WHAT'S UP? · · with the communities art>und John Wayne Airport to oppose expansion of John Wayne Air- port and promote community- fnend.ly solutions for Orange County's transportation needs: The authority's offer to help stop the expansion of John Wayne lS sincere and those who were at the meeting will tell you that it did not pass without debate. The panel's cdncem, however, was not over ratifying the resolution, but if il was worded strortgly enough. On Feb. 29, the day ot the meeting, polls showed Mea- sure P pulling away with their anti-airport war chest full of . money. Thus, the main reason · for the authority to pass the resolution was to show their willingness to help our loCctls achieve wbat they've stated all along was their goal -that is, stopping the possible expansion of John Wayne. The authority was ahead in the polls. They had lots of · money left with which tojigbt Now, does that seem to be a good time to offer an olive branch to your opposition? And if you are the opposi- tion, wind out of your sails, coffers dry and just six days before you're trying to get people to believe that all you want is to stop the ex:J)Msion of John Wayne, is it a good idea lo tell a newspaper that you're suspicious o' the help- ing hand that was offered? Of course not, but the day after the authority's offer, Tom Naughton, president of the Airport Working Group, told the Daily Pilot. •Just because they say 'we want to work with you' doesn'lreallymean muQl. There has never been a plan from them ex<?ept talk.• And from Newport Beach City Councilman Gary Adams, we read, "I'm very suspicious of it: Suspicious of what, exactlyi Suspicious of an offer to help stop ijle expansion of John Wayne by a group that was ' l~ than a week away from driving a huge nail into the coffin of the El Toro airport? Here is the answer to any- one who is still suspect of the reuse authonty's motives: in an e-mail I received two days ago, two days after Measure F passed, anti-airport leader Eileen Moskow wrote to me, "What is the next move? How can we get the two sides together, and really work toward making everyone hap- py?" lbat, my friends, does not smack of someone who is tak- ing their ball and going home. I NaturalVaM! Yellow Fin 1ima With OI" lf7tllout s./t REG.II' They want to help us. The pro-airport crowd should stop pushing the El Toro JMa,n and concentrate soleJy on a cam- paign to limit the expansion at John Wayne. A parallel campaign will not work. After all, why shoUld the authority or any other South County anti.air- port organizattor;i heJp us stop John Wayne wb.en we have vowed lo continue the fight to bWld an airport at El Toro?' And tf you think you don't n~ their support to stop John Wayne, think again. After l~t Tuesday's crushing defeat. the last thing I'd want is to have those folks on the other side pushing for a bigger airport at John Wayne. The time for su.sµicion, rhetoric, divisiveness and dis- torti.on is over. Now both sides have the same goal: the end of any plans to expand John Wayne. (Eileen also wrote that she wouldn't nund seemg it disappear, too, a thought that has appeared m th.ts space. But for now, we're concentrat- ing on achievable goals). SuMMsor Tum Wilson, who correctly pointed out last November that "the clock as ticking,· is ready to help the Airport Working Group stop the expansion of John Wayne before time runs out in 2005,. The El Toro Reuse Planning Authority is ready to help them stop the expansion of John Wayne before time nms out in 2005. And although I • could not confirm the offer before my qeadline, 1 have reason to beheve that Rep. Christopher Cox (R-Newport Beach) will also help them fight any expansion. All we need is the Airport Working Group, but you won't find them working to stop John Wayne. They'll be m court. trying m vain once agam to coovmce everyone that what is bad for the twm cities is good for E1 Toro. • S1EVE SMmt is a Costa Mesa resident and freelance writer.

They may have to dial another .three-digit combi· nation fo a couple of years. The North American Numbering Plan Adminis- tration, which tracks and studies prefixes and area codes, has proposed splitting Orange County's second drea code. A study determined that the 949 numbers would run out by 2002 mostly because of the high number ot cellular phones and pagers. The proposals include dif. ferent options for separating the cities that share the area code. One possibility is an over· lay only for new phone num· bers. Local governments last month had a chance to ma.ke their recommendations on an area code split. Costa Mesa, which uses 949 and 714, requested an area code that would be con· sistent citywide, sclid Jerry ~~i~!-P Corona cld Mar• ~3 01.r Pt.rpog it I# """' Christ Ji,,, I If "' ;,, •'°" r/Nr i11 Omst ..., _, livt fa1rhfo/ •"" pttNlwriw Christi.111 liWJ.

In addition, there will be 46,000 square feet of con- ference space, swimming pools, a health spa and rest,aurants. The revision significantly reduced traf- fic, a major point of con· tention. Because of the hotel's height, which made story poles impossible, the com- missioners directed the resort's proponents to put up the $1 ,500-a-day bal· loons. They put up 23 balloons at various strategic points, indicating the height of particular floors . The balloons, which are 4 feet in diameter, were supposed to come down Thursday. but project man- ager Tun Quinn decided to leave them up until Sunday because of tbe stormy weather that prevented residents and rommisslon- ers from ldkrng a good look.

And I think they feel the same about me. Bulbs either thrive and make me deliri- ously happy or snub my nur- turing attempts altogether and fail to grow, much less bloom. Some bulbs are stars: they shine brightly and pro- vide inspiration. I count all varieties of Narcissus iJT my group of friendly bulbs -from the fresh-smelling paf>erwhites that sparkle during the holi- days, to the King Alfred daf- fodils that create a spring feeling with their cheerfui yellow bumpets that seem to call all young, downy chicks to Easter. I love Narcissus. Narcis- sus come with a great bene- fit package as well. They naturalize, which means you never have to dig them up, store them or replant them to enjoy their beauty year after year. These bulbs are great invesbnents; their per- formance is dependable and appreciates annually. The gladiolus is another great performer. These flow- ers have it all. They come in an enormous variety. ·from strains that grow 5 feet tall or more to miniature vari-• Koren W'1ght NO PLAa UKE HOME eties that look like Ul- liputians among the garden giants. The color selection for gladioli is enormous. They come in a.1.aiost every color imaginable-and the variety of two-color and multicolor combinations is breathtaking. Last spring, I treated myself to a cutting area devoted exclusively to glads. I experimented with the miniatures (great for a big impact in smaller con- tainers), included colors that 1 ordinarily wouldn't use (orange, chartreuse, fuchsia) and planted them randomly, just throwing them in the planter and burying them wher"t? they fell. Within weeks, the planter was ablaze with color and variety.

Preesla bulbs also satisfy my list of requirements. These fragrant flowers don't make a sho\Yy display out- side,.but that's not where they make the biggest impact. Cut-these sl~nder stalks with teardrop-shaped I flowers and enjoy their per- fume for weeks at a time. My daughters love the smell of freesias. It's always the first fragrance they grab at the soap and lotion stores. Fresh freesias (the purple and yellow are our favorite scents) are unbeatable. Ranunculus bulbs get mixed reviews at my' house. One spring, we had the most outstanding crop you could imagine. The stems were long and somewhat irregular, the flower heads were large and full. They generated wave after wave of flowers and the bouquets for the house were interest- ing and long-lasting. But I never had a great crop again. I lost the touch. I . tried new bulbs and more fertilizer, bu't the magic was never repeated. I'm only left STAY COMPETITIVE.

He bad not receive d a copy of the lawsuit and referred questions on legal issues to Richard Jacobs, the attorney who drafted the measure. Jacobs could not be reached for comment. David Ellis, a consultant for the Airport Working Group, said the lawsuit targets nine points of law in the measure. The main arguments are: • Measure F violates the state constitution because it requires an •"automa tic" elec- tion each time the Orange County Board of Supervisors approves an airport, jail or landfill p roject. According to the constitution, only signa- tures or a legislative body can put measures on the ballot. •The two-thirds vote cite-· ria for land-use projects is not allowable under the state constitution.

Pro-airport forces cl\al· lenged Measure F on th e same grounds before the ini· tiative went to voters, but lost.

G reen- light member Tom H yans simply said he'd leave the cost concerns up to the council. The debated cost would have been anywhere from $69,000 to $93,000 to include on the ballot the slow-growth measure, which propo$es to allow residents the final say on certain developments. There were also legal Ellis said it is common for courts to uphold initiatives before they pass. He also said courts have overtUined rnel!- sures that garnered more than 60% of the vote, as Mea- sure F did Tuesday. The city of Newport Beach, one of only two cities whose residents voted the measure down Tuesday, is also a party to the lawsuit.

Because the mea:sure reqiµres a charter amend· ment. it must be put to a voie in the fall ge neral ele<;tion, said City Atty. Bob Bumham. Another concern of council members was how Greenlight might distract voters from the district's request for a $110-million bond to repair deteriorat- ing schools. • Councilman Tod Ridge- way added that a special election would attract fewer voters compared to a gener- al election.

Out of the cluttered garage that serves as bis workroom and storage space, Hart withdraws a sculpture of a man and a dog. Then he takes out a paintbrush to clean the thing off. It's coated with a layer of grime of 'the sort typically seen in a cleanser commercial. Hart, a white-haired man wearing silver-rimmed glasses and battered blue jeans, gives the figures a few smart swipes with the brush. He places them out in the sunlit alley behind his house .

The dust continues to settle affectionately on their shoulders, growing slowly thicker with the passage of the days. ~d though he's passionate about bis art, the task of self-. promotion is one Hart isn't particularly interested in tack- ling. The sculptor retired six years ago, after three decades of teaching art in Garden Grove, and is hardly in the stereo- typical position of the starving artist. •A real successful artist is two things,• the 66-year-old Newport Beach sculptor will say later, sipping a mug of Earl He doesn't need anyone to buy bis work.

F'me wrinkles mate- rializ.e in the brow above the man's eyes. Moles and freckles pull into focus. Above all, the painting gains an attitude. The expression of the Yi Man's face hardens into a some- what frightening mtxture of pride and contempt. He looks like a sub- ject not too happy to be sitting still.

He just keeps making it, year after year, and occasionally dusts it oft for a visitor. Take a look at one of Hart's creations and it's impossible to avoid being struck by the care that's gone into it. Though he works in several media, including fiberglass and wire, many of the most elaborate pieces Hart produces are made from wood. ~' Hart sculpts in walnut and oak, in cherry and poplar and maple. He crafts totemic figures in which the woods - some light, some dark -curve and flow into each other like the muscles of a body or the branches of a tree. At first glance, these wooden figures often seem to ~ rather abstract. But the human form is never far away ti-om Hart's works. What initi411y looks like a bowed, somewhat triangular shape made out of hardw~, reveals itself after only a little consideration to be a mother and child, a Pieta. The images take months to make, Hart sayi. The process of gluing the wood pieces together and then shaping and finishing the form is extremely slow and painstaking.

T he First Amendment. It's the foundation on which our democracy is built. And when it comes'to standing up for it, we, as journalists, are the first ones on our feet. - But as Orange Coast College stu- dents learned this week, it's not always as simple as it sounds. The editors of the weekly Coast Report have come under fire by the Costa Mesa-based Anti-Defamation Le ague dnd the editor of a·Jewish community newspaper for allowing a paid advertisement that claimed the Holocaust didn't happen to run in its pape r. Wben the paper's advertising direc- tor, Mary Quinn, received the request, she deferred the decision to the editorial stdff, riyhtly predicting that it would be controversial. The students then had a tough decision to make. And we can wel) imagine the arguments because we've made them too. (And by the way, we didn't always come up with the right deci- sion.) What does free speech mean if we can only near words that don't offend, words that don't hurt our ears? Isn't the First Amendment designed to protect groups that may have an opinion not shared by the majority? Those are tough questions to · answer. Student journalists, and we were in their shoes once, often opt to answer the questions by falling on the side of free speech absolutism, letting ideas and statements run unfettered and raw. But is that always the best course to take? Th~ Daily J>ilot, jf.ist like any news- paper across the country, has dealt with controversial or questionable advertising requests. As part of the Los Angeles Times, we follow the rules that have been set by that newspaper over the years regarding advertising. For example, we don't run any tobacco or gun ads on our page~, apd for s~nsitive topics such as race and religion, we have an entire book of guidelines. At the Coast Report, however, the student journalists didn't have the advantage of pointing to long-stand- ing policies. And they ended up r.ely- ing solely on the First Amendment. Under the direction of advisor Cat~ Werblin -who, irorucally, hap~ens to be Jewish and recused hers~lf from any decision -the class enga'ged in lengthy and spirited dis- cussions on the matter. Eventually, the paper's leaders decided the writers of the ad - though their ideas may be off-base and offensive -had the freedom and I , the right to have tnerp published. They got it half right. The First Amendment guarantees the right to free speech, but not the right to have it published. And that's a big diffe rence. Heat is rising on Dunes debate AT ISSUE: Readers continue to raise concerns about and voice support for the controversial Newport Dunes resort proposal.

There is no .better place than this location for R first-dass resort hotel and convention facility. Let us get on with the process and approve the development now. JEFFREY W. WILCOX Westdiff As we attend planning meetings and listen to the concerns our plan- ning commissioners have m regard to the Dunes project, we become more aware this project doesn't belong in this location. \ \ The comnuss10nen. have all voiced mdny concerns about lbe size and mass, dbout the llghting, about the traffic-and circulation. about the noise and clir quahty, and dbout the waler quality. They have a mighty decision to make regarding this pro1ect. Their instincts tell them to vote no, but the re venue for the dty and pres- sure Crom the Chamber of Com· merce and the tourist industry tell them to say yes. nus project js di.so entangled with the Greenlighl bsue, and resi· dents' questioning our City Coun- cil's ability to follow the General Plan and dty codes. Our commis· sioncrs may be rushing to get Uus project approved before November just because of this enldnglement. We hope noL We think that one of the mwn problems is we all thmk of New- port Beach as an up!>cale area catering to the n\ore affluent, and we want our project to suit our pie· ture o( th.ts type of clientele. Most of Newport does fit this mold. The Dunes location is an excep- tion. It is a place for a project compat- ible with d marina -d resort for recreational vehide travelen. clJld the Back Bay Cafe. It is a place for deck shoes and jeans or shorts. It is an environmental preserve for all our residents to enjo~ and a beach for our comrnumty and our kids and our grand kids. It is a place for our community to entertain casually. It is not a black· tie, fund-raising area. It serves a completely different purpose. Our planners are being asked to view this area as a four-star desti- nation resort area. It can never be this. Picture moving the Ritz-Carl- ton in Dana Point, which is only a 393-room hotel with 30,500 square feet of meeting space, to lbe Dunes ·location. Would that resort be compatible with a third-level entrance over- looking the roofs of Bayside Village Mobile Home park -with its 300- foot dnveway going through this same mobile home park -with its mass and four-story height squeezed into the confines of this area? This Is dose to what is happen- ing. A four-star hotel is being requested in a two-star area. Imagine its view at low tide: the water's green scum and low water level twice a day. I don't think this would be beautiful to the tuxedo crowd. If does have a lot of appeal to the naturalist crowd, which it now attracts. We think Commissioner Anne Gifford said it all when she stated SEAN HIU.£1l / DAILY PLOT Balloons fty above Newport Dunes to gauge the height of the proposed Newport Dunes Resort Hotel. that this could be a whtte elephant the commissioners would have to live with once 1t was bwlt. But Bayside Village and all of Newport Beach will have to live with it, also. ROBERT L BAUN JOYa LAWHORN 80Bll HOPE Bayside Village residenti; Newport Beach As a 15-year resident of New- port Beach, I am constantly alert to prospective changes in my dty. The approval of the Dunes Waterfront Resort would be a plus ror Newport Beach. Here's why: 1. Beaubful arclutecture by qual- ity reputable designers 2. Local residents' views W\COm- proDllSed 3. Adcbbonal rooms for tounsts 4. Adcbbonal revenue for the aty and Newport Beach Con\'entlon and VtS1tors Bureau The balloon configuration con- firmed my opinion that the hotel would be appropnately sued for the location.
