But one dec1s1on City Council members made at lheu meeting ldsl week 1s likely to have s19 ruf1cant conse- quences for Newport Beach. The city's leaders voted last Tuesday to spend NEWPORT about $220,000 on a BEACH so-called VlSiorung process for the gen- eral plan update. What that means 1s that city omc1als will spend sev- eral mortlhs listening to residents about their feelings on N ewport Beach's future. The program will mclude a citywide festtval, neighborhood workshops, telephone surveys and an advisory c;:ominittee made up or a cross sectiof} of the city's Interest groups. Some, such as community activist Allan Beek, have rejected 1'IOUlll1'S flOMIMIClms Last Saturdqy was a downer. It was rainy, cold and all the sports assignmen ts I w as sch eduled to shoot were canceled. Luckily there was this story in the works about a little girl - Kyndall Long - who became a hero after alarming her p arents of a fire at a neighbor's house. The photo could have gone either way. I really didn't know what to expect. But when I arrived, I was greeted by a g reat family. Everything just clicked. Everyone was in on the photo shoot. Dad, mom, and a few of Kyndall's friends. The whole thing was a reminder of how great community journalism can be. -Sean Hiller the idea as a waste of money and urged the folks behind the dais to ask residents about their views on other issues such as the proposed annexation of Newport Coast. Council members also expressed their support for the pro- posed takeover of Corona del Mar's East Coast Highway from Caltrans. That needs to happen so that vil- lage leaders can go ahead with a remodeling project that would tum the dilapidated stretch into a shop- ping and dining destination. Final approval for the highway transfer depends on the funds pro- ject supporters can come up with to pay for the $12 million plan. -Marthls WWtler ce>Yers Newport Beach.

PHOTO OF THE WEEK 'LOCAL HERO' SEAN HILLER I DAILY PILOT THREAT TURNS INTO QUIET It was a frightening week for many parents with children in Newport-Mesa schools last week. Schools m both cities experi- enced scares they would just as soon not repeat. The Costa M esa High School community spent EDUCATION the week in rear after two girls found a bomb threat scrawled on a wall tn the girls restroom on Tuesday. The threat was for Friday the 13th. A drrurustrators called in the police and outside security to comb the school Thursday night and keep watch Friday. Despite asser- tions that all would be safe, many parents chose to keep their chil- dren home on Friday. Jn Newport Beach early Thursday morning a 6-year-old girl got the fright or her young life when she entered a school bathroom at 8:15 a.m. to find a strange man lurking there. School officials praised the girl's proper training and quick thinking, as it was the girl's screams combined with her grand- mother's presence that ca\.\Sed the man to flee. 1Wo teachers and a parent are also being commended for call- ing the police and giving chase, helping officers to capture and arrest lhe man. -~ Goulet covers educ.atlon.

"There's a lot of informa- tion I wish f knew when I was a teen," she said. "Just mfor- mation l wanted to give to them to help them always have healthy habits." That is why she created the And thus was born the ham dinner on Easter Sunday. So what's the deal with all these chicks and Iambs and bunnies? Simple. They're alJ symbols of new We. What about coloring eggs for Easter? Eggs have been a symbol of the cycle of We since ancient times. The Romans, Persians and Chinese all painted and decorated eggs during their spring festivals. There's also a wonderful Polish legend about color- ing Easter eggs. Supposed- ly, Mary offered eggs to the Roman soldiers at the foot of the cross, appealing to them for mercy. As her tears fell on the eggs, they were transformed in bril- hanl colors. In England, the house- hold records of Edward I in the year 1290 show an entry of 18 pence for 450 eggs to be gold-leafed and colored as Easter gifts. That's 37 do~en eggs for 18 A spnngt1me pla nting lestival was a n a nnual lncti- dn lrdd1twn.

She gives them •homework assignments• in between ses- sions, such as eat breakfast e veryday or drink at least five glasses of water a day. They've learned about good fats versus fried food and why eating no fat would actu- ally make them gain weight. "I think it's neat because she leaves us with a lesson or a homework assignment of so~ethlng to do -drink water, eat breakfast," said Mary Ellen Snelgrove, 14. Balkam was hoping to cre- ate the close knit feel that sh e attained with the group, with the idea that by being more of a big sister to the girls than just another teacher, they would be more comfortable lalking to her. She is also willing to mold the program a round what egg until one of the eggs meets its demise. The per- son with the last egg stand- ing will have a year of good luck. I guess you have to be there. In a recent survey of Americans' favorite Easter egg colors, 35% said blue. 18% chose purple, 17 % pink and 7% green. Yellow and red tied at 6% each.

And that brings us baa to that Easter bormet with all the frills upon it. Large bonnets and bright clothes are another long-standing symbol of the end of winter and the arrival of spring.

Nineteenth century bak- ers started making the crosses out of icing instead of imprinting them, which was an enormous pain in the bunny. Do you know why bakers work such long bows? They knead a lot of dough. I can't believe I said that. The Easter basket has Catholic origins. In Europe, Catholics would bring a basket with the breads and meats to be used for their Easter dinner to Mass to Some cities are trying to revive the custom. In New York.

OMMUNITY 8 Sunday, April 15, 2001 EDITORIALS Costa Mesa shotild . let those :People go hen 95% or the people Liv- ing in the unincorporated West Santa Ana Heights area informally voled against being annexed by the city of Costa Mesa, it should have sent d signal. Those reside nts do not want to become pa rt of Costa Mesa. In fact, most -Like the eastern portion of Sanld And Heights - would rather become Newport Beach. That's a fdct of ltfe thdl three members of the Costa Mesa City Council either cannot accept or would prefer to ignore. So those three -Mayor Libby Cowdn and council- women Linda Dixon and Karen Robinson -voted ed!lie r this month against residents' wishes to pursue an annexdllon of West Santa Ana Heights. So began an annexdtion process that will involve d Local Annexation Formation Commission investigating the city's desire. That group will decide whether an annexdlion would be prudent. U enough of the unincorpo- rated ared's population -more than 25'Yo, but less than 50% - decides 1t does not want the annexal.Jon dpproved, a vote will occur. lf that sentiment totals more than 50'Yi, of the population, then the formation commission will recommend nixmg the annexation plans. UnJess those residents are given an incentive that doesn't exist today, they wiJJ decid e - through a vote or not -over- whelmingly to d own the city's annexation plans. Meanwhile, the city the residents would prefer to become part of - Newport Beach -has no desire to annex them. but will more than like ly annex their brethren -the eastern portion of Santa Ana Heights. Much to the county of Qrange's chagrin, that would leave the area unincorporated and leave the county to continue footing the bill. The main reason the unincorporated areas around the county have been annexed during the last decade is because the county, in the wake of its bankruptcy, wante d and continues to want to dump the areas and the financial burden they provide. But annexations do not necessarily occur easily. After a ll, the residents would then fall under the jurisdiction of a city, which would have to provide public services to those residents and more regulations to which they have to abide. The main question to ask is what would the city gain from the annexation? Certainly not property taxes since they would be required to remain the borders of West Santa Ana Heights. More land to add to its borders? Perhaps, but other than that, the re would be nothing more to gain except a plethora of unhappy reside nts. So, while councilmen Gary Monahan and Chris Steel have already chosen to abide by the desires of West Santa Ana Heights residents, the three councilwomen have decided to continue the governmental process that will most like ly fail and become a monume ntal waste of time and money. The wisest thing for those councilwomen to do would be to back out now. For this annexation to stand hall a chance, they should investigate what they can actually do to appease those residents enough for them to change their minds. We doubt, though, that they ever will. A sign of things to come? For years, no one cared about the sign. The picture of a big, red coffee cup a ttracted little notice, even though the sign technically violated Newport Beach city codes. That. of course, was a problem for the owners of Cale GaJeos, which is tucked away in a Marine r's Mile strip mall. So when Gordana Samardzic and Andre i Leontieff decided to add homemade salad dressings to their me nu, they figured it was time to spice up tha t simple cup. That saucier sign, which is attached to a flag pole, f eatttres former model Samardzic with a bottle of the dressing in a back pocket of her jeans. And it certainJy attracted more attenUon, not entirely from customers, however. It also attracted the attention ol City HatJ, whtch last wnmer looked into the issue and found that the sign, and itJ to.mer predecessor were illegal. Out went a warning. Then, out w ent the fines, whJch now total SJ,200. Leontieff II convinced that t.tie dty'I sl.ldden iDtAlrelt ln his lign WU bemUM IOll14tOn I ' found it "obscene." City officials deny that sharge. although they admit that the picture of Samardzic did catch their attention. What matters, they say, is that it is illegal, regardless of how the sign came to their attention. Tlfa( argument rings a bit hollow. For three years, the coffee cup sign went unnoticed, presumably because there was nothing near scandalous about it. There's still nothing scandalous about the new sign, though it certainly ls more eye-catching. And the city's sudden interest clamps down on Cate Galeos' abWty to advertise. In the cwrent climate in Newport Beach -rlgbt or . wrong, businesses are finding the city less friendly given the passage of the slow.growth measure Creenlight -it would seem Ip the city's best interest not to add to that perception, especially over such a relatively minor tnfracUon.

BOLTON - ! ·O 0 . . • , Daily Pil9t Charges of high crime are deceivi1ig 0 ver the past several months, I have listened with dismay to the comments of a few of our local residents claiming that our city has a very high crime rate. One can only wonder why these people would want to cre- ate such a bad and false image here, or why no one has asked my department for any facts to support or refute their claims. It is, however, time to set the record straight on the matter of high oime in Costa Mesa as it is both unfair and hannful to allow their misrepresentation of our image to continue. Of course we have crime in Costa Mesa. Crime exists wherev- e r there are people. The image of Costa Mesa being a high crime and unsafe city, however, is not deserved. The fact is that Costa Mesa's crime rate has been on a continual downtrend for the past 12-plus years. In fact, Costa Me.sa has reduced the crime rate by nearly 56% during this same period. U you consider our crtme rate as a box score, then Costa Mesa would heve earned a spot in the World Series of crime reduction. NJ it is important for you to • understand what role crime statis- tics play in determining how safe a dty is, let me point out. a few things. First. it~ wrong, in my opinion, to compare oime rates between cities. Although the media has been doing so for yean, and we have fared well in these comparisons, attempts at detcnnining the relative safety of dues In this manner is very unfair and misleading. The reason is that reporting polldes vary among ddel, ot do lhf' attitudes of cttizem toward reporting alme. For example, crimes moy often go unreported, and thus never end up becimnlng a 1taU.ttc. Crime goes wnported for many reasons, b\lt II moll often rel4ted to a vk'tbn't lack of c:onfidence ln a police depart· ment'1 abWty to IOlve crime or to take aim.t 1811ow1Jy.

In some cities, victims may not like having lo go to the police sta- tion to report a crime per local requirement, so they don't. Other depart- ments may mall victims a report form and ask them to fill it out and return it to the depart- ment. Some don't bother to do so. Some victims fear retaliabon Crom uspects and don't want lo gel involved. Others just don't care to report them. Remember. only reported crime makes the record books. It crime is not reported accurately, it becomes difOcuJt to assess crime trends and to deltver police ser- vices where they Me mo l needed to prevent crime and apprehend crimjnaJs. ln Costa Mesa, whether it's your home or business or else- wtie re, we take all reports seri· ously. We report crime accurately, and we uso the data gledlled in our crime analysis unit to map trends to prevent and solve crime. It lS also 8 mistake to consider everything on a percentage basis.

Daily Pilot THE ESSENCE OF CHRISTIANITY The meaning is that God has come in uniform. His name is Jesus Christ.

And the Holy Spirit is with us until Jesus returns again. That's the essence of the Gospel. That's the essence of any Roman Catholic, Protestant, Orthodox. That is the essence of the faith.

Richard Dunn DAILY PILOT NEW- p 0 R T BEACH -Big Ca nyon Country Club's Ollvia Slu tzky , whose ama- teur goll game has CLASSIC i m p r o v e d .__ ___ ____. tremendously in the last year, won her first women's cham- pionship Thursday after card- ing a four-round 325. Slutzky, whose front-nine scores for the championship light were three 38s and a 35, finished ahead of runner-up Martha Redfearn, who shot 351. Slutzky, 33, has lowered her handicap from double digits to a 3.5 in about a year. She qualified for the Women's U.S. Mid-Amateur Championship last Odober at Big Canyon and shot 78 in the final round of stroke play (finish- ing at 84-78-162) to make the 64-player rut into match play. By winning the Big Canyon title, Slutzky auto- matically qualified for the 2001 Tea Cup Classic, which is held each summer at one of the four private·clubs in the Newport-Mesa community and Daily Pilot circulation. Slutzky will become the fourth different player from Big Canyon to compete in the Tea Cup Classic in four years, following Selby Schriber, Sal- ly Holstein and Colette Taonnina. Schrlber won the inaugur- f.I Tea Cup Classic in 1997, then automatically qualified the following year, when the goU course at Big Canyon was being remodeled and the women's club championship was not played. Holstein captured the Big Canyon title in '99 and Taormina won it in 2000, shooting 342 with Redfearn hru.shing as runner-up. Marie G ray Is Big Canyon's all-time leader with eight women's club championships (1975-76, 1978-'83). The Tea Cup Classic was started by this newspaper in 1997 to decide an overall women's dub champion and bring the golf community closer together. In a,ddition to Big Canyon, Mesa Verde Country Club, Santa Ana Country Club and Newport Beach Country Club play for spots in the locally famous Tea Cup Classic.

"We're going to BY SEAN Hl~R talk right now and we're going to do some soul searching, . because l can't tolerate that. I'm embarrassed as a coach.• The Sea Kings committed four errors, but a handful of additional blunders did not make the line score. CdM, which had won six in a row and 11 of its last 12, did erase a 2-0 deficit with a three-run rally in the third inning. But, Skyline, operat- ing behind the strong pitch- ing of senior right-hander Tom Vest, kept the pressure on. The Eagles tied the game in the fourth, then added sin- gle runs in the fifth and sixth, before padding their lead with a three-run seventh. Though managing ju.st six hits, the school from Salt Lake City, with an enrollment of around 1,700 according to its coach, scored in every inning but the first. Three walks and a balk helped Skyline open the scor- ing in the second, and a CdM bobble in the middle of what could have been an innlng- ending double play, allowed Daily Pilot PllP llSEllll another run to 1COre in the third. The Sea Kings (12-.t), ranked No. 9 in Orange County and CIP Southern Section Division 1\1, initiated their lone scoring rally when Dave Knecht reached on a one-out error. Billy Eagle fol- lowed with a slicing dolable to right-center field and Andrew Johns looped a two-run sin- gle to left. After Eric Snell walked, Vest got the second out on a flyout, then hit Wes Hoclcin.son to l°'d the bues, Johns then came home when an infield grounder was boot- ed for the seconQ. error of the inning, but 'Vest, who improved to .t-1 with bis sec- ond complete game, got the final out to leave the bases loaded.

Knecht went 2 for 4 and reached three times in the leadoff spot, while Snell and Hocldnson also had hits. CdM will host Saddleback Monday at 2 p.m. in the con- solation quarterfinals. Matt Ciaramella, a switcb- hitting senior center fielder who has committed to the University of Utah, went 2 for 5, including his sixth home run of the season for the win· ners.
