• IDOOR'S NOl'E: Fonner Daily
Pilot repor1er Husein Mashni. who
left the paper in February 1999, now
pursues missionary work in Israel.
This is one in an occaskwlal series of
his columns sent from Jerusalem.
I don't usually spend much
time on the western J)ortion
of Jerusalem. which is the
Jewish sector. I live in East
· Jerusalem an'1 work there as
well.
But I like to go to West
Jerusalem every now and
then to do laundry or to get a
feeling of a America." There's
a McDonald's, Kentucky Fried
Chicken and we're anticipat-
ing a Starbucks.
Today, I just need to do
laundry. I wheel my suitcase
full of dirty clothes to si.
scuzzy, eight-machine, back-
alley Laundromat . It's usually
busy, but today is a continua-
tion of the Purim celebration
and no one's doing laundry,
except me.
Purim, for those who aren't
familiar with the Old Testa-
ment, is a holiday to com-
memorate the victory of the
Jews in Persia over the evil
forces of Haman, who
attempted a genocide of the
Jewe who bad been exiled
from Judah years before.
Queen Esther, risking her
own life, went into the king's
throne room and successtully
pleaded for the salvation of
the Jews.
To commemorate the great
woman's courage, Purim was
instituted and is celebrated
with other great holidays of
the Jewtih people.
As I wheeled my dirty
laundry through the busy
downtown area -called Ben
Yahuda Mall -I have to
stand back and observe for a
few minutes.
It's a hedonistic fair. Youth
with brightly colored, wildly
styled hair wore far-out cos-
tumes ranging from aliens and
streetwalkers to the world-
famous Tinkerbell -who was
foisted upon the world by my
~ own Orange County.
Very Halloween-ish, the
holiday has all the Western
flair of the Burger King further
up the strip.
Holidays are a dime a
dozen in these parts. The
large Islamic holiday when
pilgrims visit Mecca was yes-
terday. A few days ago,
catholics marked the begin-
ning of Lent. which is taking
on a special meaning as the
Pope will soon be visiting the
Holyl..npd. .
But what motivated me to
write about this one was
something that made me sad
about this Purim celebration.
lw.as walking out of Sec-
ond Cup, a coffee bar .. near the
Laundromat, when a fire-
aack.er exploded. The sound
was quite a bit louder than a
standard fireaacker and a
group of girls in their cat a!ld

aacker, but one knew

NEWPORT BEACH-Whether
she likes it or not, environmental
activist Susan Caustin has become
the Dunes' gadfly.
"I'd prefer concerned resi·
dent,• she said.
And that she is. Since last fall,
when the $100-million resort pro-
ject surfaced, Caustin bas attend·
ed eveiy Planning Commission
meeting, read every document
and has had something to say
every time.
Moreover, in contrast to the
days of Birkenstock-wearing hip·

she wears tailored, pastel suits
.and negotiates ·like a bu5iness-
woman.
That is to say, this Newport
Beach resident and chief of neu·
rology at Kaiser Permanente Med-
ical Center in Bellflower, speaks
to developers, planning commis-
sioners and local politicians in
their own language.
•What I learned from (my pa.r-
ents) is to do your homework and
speak out,• she said of her envi-
ronmentalist parents, Jack and
Nancy Skinner. She said she
learned a slightly more aggressive
stance from her husband, Bob
Caustin.
And for Dunes project support-
ers, this can be a little unsettling.
Caustin just won't go away.
The Planning Commission this
week asked the Dunes' develop-
ers to reduce the proposed resort ..,
hotel ftom 600 rooms to .(52
rooms, with 30,000 square feet of
conference space. lt also would
have swimming pools, a health
spa and restaurants.
lf approved. the bote1-estirnat-
ed to generate more than $1 million
a year for the city coffers-could
open within three to five years.
Caustin is so dedicated that she
showed up at an early morning
press conference by Dunes' pro-
ponents, surprising project man-
ager Tun Quinn. The visit even
elicited a quip from Dunes finan-
cial officer Robert Gleason at a
recent Planning Commission
meeting.

County cities to spend public tnon-

build an airport at El Toro ..
It comes after Measure F -·
which South County cities put on
the ballot to thwart the county's El
Toro plans -passed"'with nearly
70% of the vote. The El Toro issue
has divided the county for six years
and millions of dollars have been
spent by both sides on political

NEWPORT COAST -The
letter said residents probably
wouldn't bear any "loud or
inconveniencing noise.•
On the contrary, many res-
idents who live near a con·
struction site where an explo-
sion sent four-workers to the
hospital Thursday afternoon
have complained about the
constant churning of tractors
and the sporadic blasts. :
The explosion that hurled

"There should be a certal.R
level of peace that should be
required here," said JolU!
Fransen, who lives near the
construction site. ·u this
amount of noise was happen-
ing on Balboa Island or Lido
Isle, I doubt it would be
accepted. How much can we
tolerate?"
Fransen's question is a
good one, considering the
contractors bad assured rest-·
dents there wouldn't be any
adverse effects from the pro-
ject.
A letter dated Oct 27,
1999, from Irvine Co. V\Ce

the developer's plans. Witt

upcoming "National 1V

· Julie King is a fifth-grade
teecber at Adams Elementary
School in Costa Mesa. King,
also a fixture on the local soc-
cer fields and soltball dia-
monds, bas a unique notion
about television -she
believes it is a distraction to
Steve Smith
-WHAT'S UP?
'the developing mind.
Aw.bile back, King devel-
oped o contract with ber stu-
dents. Aiid although the pay-
.. off for the kids was one of
those intangibles that kids
hate, sort of like telling them
to eat their vegetables
because "they'll help you
grow big and strong,• a little
more than half the class is
participating.
"The contract, which par-
ents must sign," said King,
"reads that the child will not
watch any television from
Monday night through
Thursday night.• ~t's about
it King introduces the con-'
cept to families on the school's
Back-to-School Night
The participating students
are then sent home each
week with a log that indi-
cates whether they have
watched any television. lf the
group has not, ther get a par-.
• ty' once a month. At first). .. ,.._
King was worried that the
party would not be enough of
an incentive, but after a short
time, the benefits of not
watching television became
their own reward.
"I have testimonials Crom
kids who wrote to tell me
how much better it is without
1V," said King.
Of that, I have no doubt.
Our two kids have not
watched 1V in more than a
year and no longer ask for
permission. It seems that
between reading, playing
outside and homework,
there's too much to do. It's
better around here.
King reports the same at
her house. Because.she
wants to walk the walk, ber
faml!Y has adhered to the
school contract at home. ·
"My kids ra,rely watch 1V
anymore, even on week-
ends," said King. "In almost
every house we've been,
we've watched them gaping
at the scrt!en. Th~y loll and
slop and lounge about, and
stare until their eyes pop
out."
. Still; others don't seem to
be convinced. When I men-
tioned m'/ desire to hav#? the
school district ~mbiace!IV
Turnoff Week, 'One ~ool
board member's rea;.1ion
was, well, I'll just ~y I was
hoping for more enthusiasm.
Board memoor W~dy
Leece, who recognizes the
value of having kids watch
less 1V, is considering the
best path to take. But at this
point, it's probably too late for
any concerted board effort to
take place. So, it's up to you.
If you do nothing, here is
what is in store for your child:
•Your 1-year-old will
watch six hours per week,
even though the American·
Pediatric Assn. recommends
not a sing!& minute for your
child before age 2.
• Your child from age 2 to
11 will watch 20 hours per
week, versus only 38. Five
minutes spent "l.n meaning-
ful conversation• with a par-
ent.
• Yolir child frolJl ages'2 to
7 will watch 1V alone and
unsupervised 81 % of the
tiine. •
• • Your child may be one of
the 54 % of kids who prefer
1V to spending time with
their dads.
• You will be one of the
92% ot the parents of chil-
dren who do not require their
kids to finish their homework
before watching television.
• And by the-time your
child is a teenager, it is very •
likely that he will know the
city designated by zip code
90210, but will not be able to
tell you the city in which the
Constitution was signed.
The goal of turning off the
,1V, at least during the wee~
as King has done. should be
at least as important a pro-
gram for readmg in Qur .
school dist.rid as DARE is r~
keeping kids off drugs.
Improving reading scores.
by turning off the television •
works. King will tell you so 1
not only from her own expe~
rience, but she has testimont
als from students and parena&
to back it up. :
"So please, oh please. we:
beg, we pray · ;
Go throw your 1V set • • away . •I
And in its place you can •
install •
A lovely bookshelf on the. wan.· .
Do something good for your
kids, your fa.rru.ly and your
home. Turn off the lV, if only
for one week, April 24-30.

NEWPORT BEACH -
The Chamber of Commerce

city's traffic phasing ordi-
nance, saying an upcoming
slow-growth measure will
change or repeal it.
But both city officials and
supporters of the so-called
Greenl.igbt initiative S4Y the
two ate totally separate.
·The ('naffic Phasing

tioned in Greenligbt, • said
measure proponent Allan
Beek. •This implies that

would only change the ;lty· 1

asked the developer of the
Dunes Hotel to reduce the

"I am supportive of a larger
hotel than that which is

Unless there were more
benefits to the city and the
impact on the surrounding
neighborhoods could be alle-
viated, Selich said, he could
not support the proposal. In a
straw vote Thursday, his col-
leagues on the commission
agreed.
Project manager Tun Quinn
said the developer, Evans

treuse. Leaves with personali-

Most varieties grow in soft

referred to these geraniums
as "bulletproof." They toler-

Sweet Leafed Geraniums,
which they are sometimes
called, were ·a favorite of the
Victorians in the 1800s. They
were highly coveted for their 1
fragrance and were used to
sweeten finger bowls at the
dinner table, were the scent-
ed ingredient in many soaps
and perfumes, and the
French even used them as a
replacement for rose oil.
One quick and popular
idea from Victorian cook·
books was to line a cake pan

popularity dropped off after

Th e faces behind the "'

of seminars during the
Newport Beach
Film Festival
be moon was propped
against a wall. The
Earth was crammed
beneath a table. And
Greg Pyros wasn't pay-
ing much attention to
either of the dusty
boulders. They were
more Wee souvenirs to him than any-
thing else.
Pyros doesn't need to bother much
with clumsy woodee models of moons
and planets. ln the Costa Mesa office of
Pyros Pictures, the digital arumation
and special effects company he runs, he
can create computerized versions of the
Earth and moon that are vasUy more
detailed and realisbc than anything that
could be created by the human hand.
Throwing together a simple form
like a planet, in fact. is easy for the
company, whose darkened halls hum
with the sound of enormous, high-
tech computers.
· But what makes Pyros Pic-
tures successful -and what
bas made it an important
resource for people
' making movies
today -is its
ability to create
much more com-
plex moving images,
from the blossoming of
a Dower to the tiny,
exploding fragments of a
minor.
Pyros (the man, not the company)
will speak on special effects and make-
up design at an April 1 seminar at the
Newport Beach film festival. It's just one
of 10 seminars about the movie indus-
':. tty. to be held at the Newport Beach
: Public Ubrary, that have been assem-
• bled under the title •The Collaboratl•e
: Art of Filmmaking: Wal.king Through • -!ill•
\
the Process.•
The seminar series will touch on vir-
tually every aspect of of the develop-
ment and creation of movies, drawing
together writers, designers, directors,
musicians, lawyers and digital experts
to talk about the state of film today -
and what's in store for its
future.
Computer imaging,
Pyros said, is dramati-
cally changing the
way moVles are
being made.
For one thing,
he added, it's
allowing them to be
made a lot cheaper.
For instance, a film he's
discussing with its producers
ls the kind of action-filled pic-
ture that would typically cost
around S50 million to put together.
·we're t&lking about doing it for half
of that.• Pyros said.
A scene that requires a shot of a per-
son running through a house as it bums
down might ordinarily cost millions. But
Pyros, because be doesn't necessarily
plan to bring any real people anywhere
near any real burning buildings, can do
it for much less.
The standard Hollywood attitude is
that •the solution for a problem with a
big movie is always to throw more mon-
ey at it,• Pyros said. But that's nQt the
""" ..
way he looks al things.
·How can we do this for a budget
that will allow the movie to get
made?" is the question he asks him-
self. The answer usually has to do
with technology.
ln a bare. white room in one comer
or the Pyros office, 14 high-speed video
cameras are set up to Wm the solution
to these kinds of tricky special-effects
problems. ·
The camera5 capture the motion of
tl1e human body. They feed data into a
computer that combines the 14 streams
of information to create a detailed 3·0
model of whatever motion the human in
front of the camera performs -whether
it's a karate kick or a Juggling routine.
That motion data can then be poured
into an animated figure. Pyros can give
a stick man the fluid mobon$ of a black
belt. Or he can send a surprismgly real·
istic human being running through the
digital equivalent of a to~ering mierno.
As technology improves, Pyros said,
it's becoming easier and easier to play
God with these lands of images.
• Bnnging them to life," Pyros
explained. •That's the Holy Grall. How
close can you get7 •

will examine other cru-
cial element in bring-
ing things to We on the
screen: the creabon of
compelling characters,
and stories that set
them in motion.
Linda Voorhees, a Newport Beach
screenwriter who will join the seminar's
panel, has brought people to life for 16
years.

Though technology may be chang-

The curtain rises Friday
and the show runs thrcfugh
April 1 -with two evening
performances and a Saturday
matinee. With less than one
week to go, volunteers have
raised only about half their
goal in underwriting dona-
•tions, and they need to sell
many more seats to the gen: •
eral public.
Tickets are $25, $50 and
$100 a seat.
The rehearsal begins with
praise and worqs to ~pur the :_

Zigner confided that cast
members not only sign up to
work on the show, they all
agree to sell at least $250 in
tickets. They not only give of
their time and talent but also
work to reach the financial
goal.

'The. Sound of Music ~ .climbs every mountain
. .
A fter nearly 40 years,
there are few surpris-
es left in •The Sound
of Music,• except perhaps
that this final collaboration
of Richard Rodgers and
Oscar Hammerstein II has
aged so gracefully.
In the superlative touring
'production now at the
Orange County P~onning
Arts Center, headllil.ed by
Richard Theater tham-. RmEW berlain. the fact-
based
ltory -of a young woman
who leaves a convent to
become the governess of an
Austrian captain's brood and
instead becomes his
baroness as World War II
e rupts all around them -
has rarely been in better
bands.
&eked by Heidi
Ettinger's magnificent back-
drops highlighting the Aus-
trian Alps, the "Sound of
Music• truly climbs every
mountain in the areas of
musicality, dramatic inter-
pretation and pure, solid
entertainment. splendidly
staged by Susan H. Schul-
man. No matter how many
times you've experienced it,
this show will bring a lump
to your throat.
Olten accused of being
an accept.able sugar substl·
tute, "The Sound of Mustc•
does indeed revel in the
cuteness of the sevet) chil-
dren in Maria's charge. But
this element does not pre-
clude the deadly serious
business of the Nazi
encroachment,· ~d the pres-
ence or three giant
swastikas at the music festi-
val offers a jarring note pf
reallty.
While Chamberlairi is the
"name· star, the produc-
tion's true centerpiece is
Meg Tolin's winning perfor-
mance as Maria.
She brings music back to
the captain's home and
defrosts his hardened he&1.
Tolin -who's a ringer
for another perky, blond,
Meg Ryan -is simply
enchanting, with the vocal
pipes of a spirited nightin-
gale. She conveys the fresh,
energt?tic quality her char-
acter must possess, while
bringing a convincing inner
agony to her life-changilfg
decision.
As the militaristic head of
"the Von Trapp household,
Chamberlain casts a particu-
larly authoritarian shadow,
making his conversion to
humanity that much more
effective.
Since he could be home

This is the kind of work
Voorhees expects from her
students and from herself.
But creating that kind of dra-

pushes herself to write every

an aifPOrt that's fine with me,
but l would only agree to this
idea if South County and
Newport Beach figure out
bow to address the air trans-
portation needs of the county
in the futwe.
If they want to build a high-
speed rail somewhere out in
the desert then they need to
tell the taxpayers how much it
would cost and how long it
would take to build and how
much it would cost taxpayers
to clean up the toxic waste
site at El Toro to make it
usable for another use. So I'm
all for it if the alternative plan

PTAs and everyone else who

airports and say that they
shouldn't expand either
because of the same reasons
they gave for their own com-
munities.

avoiding negotiations with us.

I think that they should get

I've always kind of felt that
the airport thing is a bit highly

don't need an international

bould school kids be required to
dress alike every day in the
name of a better education, or . ' should they be allowed to freely
express their indiViduality?
Tough question. But it's a question that
can't be answered by anyone but the par-
ents of the kids in Newport-Mesa schools.
That's why, although we have our Qwn
two cents about school uniforms, we
think the school district is handling the
issue in exactly the tjght way.
Rather than an edict from' above or
even a districtwide debate, parents at
individual schools are making µie choices
for themselves.
In fact, you can't get JllOre democratic
~an requiring 70% of ·the parents to vote

up Oreo cookles. But
it's going to be pretty
hard."
' -KAllY MITCHEU,, 5, student at St.
in order for the decision to count -and a
75% of parents will have to approve the
change.
That sai~, here's our two cents.
In a general sense, outside of the New-
port-Mesa school district, school uniforms
make sense. They promote learning, fur-
ther school pride and eliminate a major
distraction .from the school day. They also
promote safety on campus, ridding kidS'
wardrobes of potentially offensive or vio-
le~ce-inducing garb. nue, school vio-
lence isn't a problem in Newport-Mesa, • the folks in Colombine, Colo. probably
thought the same thing once.
Within the Newport-Mesa.district, uni-
forms make even more sense. No one can
deny the socioeconomic division in many

of the district's schools, and uniforms level
the playing field. Sure1 the kids with
wealthier parents may have nicer navy
pants and whit~ tops, but they will still be
navy pants and white tops.
As tQ the'argunient that unifonns take
away a young person's individuality, we
don't agree. Kids have plenty of time -
outside of school -to express their per-
sonalities. In fact, their inner selves will
be forced to come out even more because
they won:thave the clothes to do it for
them ..
Enough about our thoughts. We'll see
which side. of the uniform debate the
parents come down on within the next
few weeks. And that's exactly how it
should be.

gance, secrecy and s$l'
interests and tlie develbp Regarding the article
•nme for Plan B •
(March 23), I am
pleased to see reality begin-
ning to come to light on the
(in)famous airport issue.
Tom Edwards' thoughts,
and those of Leonard
Kxanser and Clarence Tu.m-
er, are steps in the right
direction. It was interesting
to nole that although, not
surprisingly, the strongest
vote against Measure F
came from Newport Beach,
only about half of the city's
electorate-bolhered to vote at
all on this rtteasure.
The message seems pretty
clear: the El Toro option is
not favored by the residents
· of Orange County, and is
questionable in its support
even by those in our city.
Plan· B, or a joint effort to
maintain the present limits
on John Wayne airport, is the
logical reaction.
Bruce Nestande's quick
dismissal of this approach
seems self-serving and not
responsive to reality. I am in
favor of Tom Edwards'
thoughts on this, except for
the portion that hands the
problem to county ~upervi
sors to •find a solution."
Realistically, finding the
:'solution" must involve a
broad spectnun of people:
citizens/electorate, City ·
Councils, county supervisors,
as well as appropriate state
and federal agencies.
Al.AN SILCOCK
Newport Beach
Should Newport Beach
negotiate with South County
to extend John Wayne Air-
port's flight restrictions and
curfew, even if it means giv-
ing up the fight for an airport
at El Toro?
Yes, getting the curfew for
another 20-plus years should
be the main concern of the
city. If it means no airport at
El Toro, oh well. Ontario bas
a brand new tenninal and
LAX always bas tons. of
flights to evecy destination.
DOUG BURFORD
Newport Beach
Do I feel that Newport
Beach should negotiate with
·South County to extend
JWA's flight restrictions even
if it means giving up the
fight for an airport at El
Toro? The answer is •no.•
First of all, l think the tide
is changing in the fight
about Measure F. Although it
passed with flying colors,
most citizens voted not to
stop the airport, but to
change the process of
approving large projects in
communities. I feel that
many people in this county
see an obvious need for an
airport to meet the growing
demand of air travel in the
future and know that El Toro
is the obvious option. I feel
that many citizens will be
. against the Millenniwn Plan,
which will cause much more
traffic and air pollution than
the airport.
I also feel that they are
angered at South County's
presumption that they would
vote against an airport at El
Toro. South County bas one
agenda -no airport in their
backyards. And when the
demand for more air trans-
portation is here and El Toro
is gone, John Wayne will be
' the only option. I can see it
now: Measure E -Expand
John Wayne. Newport Beach
must not stop fighting for
their resident's quality of life
just like South County will
not stop fighting for theirs.
SUSAN McELHANEY
-Santa Ana Heights
It appears that the cities
surrounding John Wayne
Airport gain little if anything
by joining the opJ)9Sition to
an airport at El Toro. We
should be able to get the
county to extend the John
Wayne settlement agreement
without having to get agree-
ment from South Co~ty
cities. The only benefit we
get by joining with the South
County cities is to foreclose
the possibility that at some
time in the future they would
challenge the settlement
agreement extension. Forev-
er foreclosing transportation
capacity in Orange County
seems like a steep price to
pay for that possible future
benefit.
· Supervisor Tom Wilson
should immediately submit
the resolution to extend the
John Wayne Airport settle-
ment agreement.
DAVID J. ARTHUR
Costa Mesa
I completely support Tom
Edwards' Plan B. It is high
time that we stopped
attempts to put an airport in
someone else's backyard and
they stopped trying to
expand John Wayne. If
South County or Disney or
George Arqyros wants more
air traffic, it should be placed
somewhere where it does
not affect residents, or at
least people's right to a
night's sleep.

searching for answers.
•w e shot ourselves in the foot ear-
ry: Deats Mid. "Our pltcbera didn't
bAve very good stuff and we made
way too many mistakes out there
behind them. It wasn't an impressive
performance today, tha.t's for sure.•
Sophomore Billy Eagle led the 10-
hit CdM attack, going 2 for 3 with a
run scored and three RBis. Freshman
Keith Long and seniors Alex Swanson
and John Dicesare each drove in two,
while senior Derek LOe scored three

"We came out Oat last game against
Laguna Beach so we were determined
to come out much more aggressively,•
Sea Kings' Coach John Emme said.
•we played at a much higher level
today and I thought we came out
ready to play.•
After a walk, an Estancia error and
two stolen bases, Eagle stroked a sin-
gle into right, scoring long and Loe,
giving CdM a 2-0 lead in the first
inning.
After a couple more defensive mis-
cues, Long capped a three-run second
inning with a two-run single, sconng
Swanson and Rory McKeever, malting
it 5-0 with all runs unearned.
