Danette Goulet DAILY PILOT NEWPORT-MESA -School board member Wendy Leece has asked the district to review the sci- ente textbooks and theories being taught to students, charging that they do not give the full picture of evolution. Leece, known for her conserva- tive viewpoints, asserts that the sci- ence textbooks approved by the board last week present the theory oI evolution as fact and not theory. She also says the books fail to pre- sent alternative theories. of the most credible. Leece said she hopes the schools may begin to teach theories that mJghl refute those of evolution and Darwinism. ·There is another whole body of evidence that says 'No, we did not come from gases and chemicals' and that at one time there must have been another way liJe got here." she said. ·Evolution lS taught as a c1enW- ic theory,· sa1d Scott Dukes. c1- ence departme nt head dt Newport Harbor High School ·As 1t stand . it is one of the best proven theones in the held of biology and ll redlly doesn't violate any pnnc1ples wtth anyone."

Open your heart on Father's Day "Words have incredible power lo build ua em oUonally. Many of us can clearly remember words of praise our porenls spoke years ago.· -Gary Smalley and John Trent 'T hank you for sharing your family with me," a woman was saying, . while hugging another woman and child when they dropped the appre- ciative woman off at the curb at John Wayne Airport. "You'll never know how much this meant to me.• 'That was all I heard, but it made me won- der what the connection was between them. Whatever the specifics, it was dear that in some way they shared a family-like bond. On the drive home from the airport that day I caught a bit of a radio program in which two men were talking about one of their lives. ·wow, you really miss your father don't you?" the talk host asked. "Yes I do, I really do,• replied the other caller. "The sad thing is, we barely talked for the last 10 years of his life. And the sadder thing is that I can't even remember what we were so mad at in the first place. "People say it's never too late to make things right with people, but that's not true. There's nothing l can do now--except maybe to encourage others not to make the same mistake.• Then the radio station went on to other programs: news, weather. traffic reports and advertisements. And by then I was home. When I went inside, I listened to my answering machine and one of the mes- sages was a sweet one from my father. I so appreciate his words of wisdom and encouragement. I don't know why God has blessed me with two such amazing parents, and the same is true for my husband, Jon. Any time we get to spend with our parents iS a gift. Both of our daughters often brag that • they have the two most awesome sets of grandparents in the world. Unfortunately, neither Jon nor I will be with our fathers· this Father's Day. We weren't with either of our daughters when it was Mother's Day either, which was a first for me. The day was still a speciaJ one because I was with my parents and my extended family, and I had the fun of talking to both daughters on the phone . I also received precious Mother's D,ay cards from two friends whom Jon and I have bonded with like family. 1 told another friend about that experience after learning the mend isn't dose to any of her family. "It sounds like you are saying that friends can become like family too. I like that idea,· she said. "I have somebody who has been kind of like a dad to me. Maybe I'll send him a card of thanks too. Maybe that will make bis day special" Maybe you too are or were blessed with a wonderful father, and his words of encowagement still play through your . mind. But if you aren't. maybe there is someone whom you can open yow heart to like a family member. In either case, we all have access to our heavenly father, and with him, every day can be a special Father's Day.

The address is based on Solomon's speech at the dedi- cation of the Temple in Jerusalem, found in the Bible beginning in I Kings 8:25. · •nus project is all about wor- ship, mission and service,• Kubeska explained. Heading the list of objectives for the work were safety, efficiency and hos- pitality. ·we are warm and friendly people,• Gray said. ·we want our building to reflect that. The new building is meant to make us more available to the commu- nity.• At the heart of the new design is a theme of openness and accessibility. Natural light, lots of glass and open space are the building's central unifying elements. "Ow firm does a lot of exteri- or trellises to provide shade and an elongated feeling,• said architect David Keitel. "The idea here was to create a kind of indoor-outdoor space.

The old building was the result of four or five additions, built one at a time; visitors had a hard time finding the front door. The old structure was partially demolished to allow the new narthex, or vestibule, to run through it. "That provided some addi- tional square footage and a new front entrance that resolved cir- culation problems caused by previous additions,• Keitel said. ANEW LOOK In the remodeled building, several jewel-colored, stained- glass windows from the original space are framed by the abun- dant new glass and illuminated by the natural light they provide. 'IWo band-carved crosses were commissioned to be crafted by artist and retired United Methodist pastor, Don Larcher. The larger of the two black wal- nut crosses hangs in the sanctu- ary; a smaller replica is in a prayer alcove just behind the sanctuary. Landscaping, induding 12 queen palms, has been installed.

The 320 attendees at The Sutton Place Hotel in New- port Beach were going to have coffee, a little fruit and watch a presentation com- plete with a video and S Smith singing children. I was invit-. f.8V8 ed by Craig Reem, my friend wuaT'S UP? and editor at Chunn Publish-· "'" • ing, publisher of OC Family and OC Metro magazines. Then SHE showed up. With an unsteady gait, she walked to the podium, strug- gling, one could see, to stay afoot after years of wrestling with the effects of cerebral palsy. She struggled with her speech as well, taking the time to form the words in patterns that you and I take for granted every day. On occasion, she was difficult to understand, but it didn't · matter, for it was obvious to everyone in the room that this was per}\aps the most courageous young woman with whom we'd ever come in contact. MShe" is Kimberly Heard, a high school senior and Campfire member who came to tell us what the organiza- tion had done for her and why we should open our wallets that day to help the kids who were to follow her. But Kimberly wasn't beg- ging for dollars. Kimberly was there that day to show the result of a strong individ- ual will, the benefit of people who care and the awesome power of hope. It was the message of hope that I can't get out of my mind. While you and I have been busy yelling at the dri- ver who cut us off on the 405 Freeway or upset because we spilled coffee on our pants, Kimberly was delighting in the sheer joy of walking and speaking. While we were steaming · at a boss who was being a jerk or a client or customer who was bei.hg unreason- able, Kimberly was a human sponge, soaking up e:verything there is to know about the world, appreciat- ing every moment of being alive and healthy. Kimberly is perhaps the healthiest person I've ever met. More than how lucky or blessed she was to be al)le to address us, or the support she has received from Campfire over the years, Kimberly's speech reflected hope and the results of a positiv~ attitude that any- thing is possible if you work for it. With each success over the years, Kimberly grew stronger, realizing that she did not have to abide by the limits others would place on her because of her cerebral palsy.

Sue Doyle DAILY PILOT CORONA DEL MAR - The subject of violen ce came under attack Friday by six people who received awards , for their contributions to make a more peaceful society. The Violence Prevention Coalition of Orange County, a Santa Ana-based group that advocates policy to promote nonviolence, presented Ambassador of Peace awards during a luncheon at the Five Crowns Restaurant in Corona del Mar. The award recipients were Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-San Franc:isco); U.S. District Court .Judge David O. Carter; Joyce Greenspan of the Anti- Defamation Le'ltgue: Hasan Nouri, president of Rivertedl, Jnc.; and Terry Thompson and Claire Braebum, of Orange County On n-ack. Boxer and Carter did not attend the luncheon, but sent a reply on video for the audi- ence to watch. The coalition praised each recipient for changing vio- lence in society -whether through public j.>ollcy, the juvenile justice system or education. •Every time someone does something to repair the world, they make it a better place for us,• said Greenspan, who is the direc- tor of the Costa Mesa-based Anti-Defamation League of Orange County-Long Beach regiona.l office. Greenspan was honored for bringing educational pro- grams, which confronted anti-Semitism and Nazi · extremist groups, to Orange County. Carter has been "VOrking on reform programs for youth previously involved with gangs. .J-Ie supported tattoo removal for members who quit gangs. But Carter said those reformed teens need extra support to continue in the right direction. Boxer was heralded for her-... public policy support, such as the Violence Against Women Act, and various crime bills. Some coalition members marched with Boxer in Wash- ington, D.C., during the Mil- lion Mom March in May.

Boxer said. "It's as simple as that" Activist launches his own pro-Greenlight committee • Proponents of a counter measure say Bob Caustin is pushing inaccura te information. No.ki Schwartz DAILY PILOT NEWPORT BEACH Environmental activist Bob Caustin has started a pollticaJ action corrunittee called Fight lta,ffic and a Web site called Fight1Taffic.com, in an effort to oppose the 1Taffic Phasing Ordinance Preservation Initia- tive and the Dunes hotel plans. And faster than an Internet chat room, Caustin's efforts have sparked debate. •He's trying to say that the TPO initiative has something to do with the Dune5," said Tom Edwards, a fonner. Newport Beach mayor and initiative proponent. "It has absolutely nothing to do with the Dunes.· Come November, the two measures could be side by side il traffic initiative propo- nents get -their measure on the ballot. The Greenlight proposal would give voters the final say on certain major develop- ments. And the 1Taffic Phas- ing Initiative proposes to make the Newport Beach traf- fic law-which was designed to provide some relief from crowded streets-part of the City Charter. The latter also invalidates Greenlight. Despite Cau~tin's alfilia- tion with the counter measure called Greenlight, he decided to start his own effort to gar- ner opposition. While members of Green- llght-the group of community activists behind the initiative- suppo~ Causti.n's effort, they were hesitant about his strong stance oo some issues. Also, some Greenllght members worried th~ new group's fund- raising would compete with their measure. •we're supportive but not donating any money to it," said Greenlight membe r Allen Beek. "We wish a dozen people would do things like that though." Sin_ce Sunday, Caustin has passed out fliers outlining his views, and they come com- plete with cards supporters can send to the city clerk. The tear-off cards announce the supporter's opposition to the Dunes and the lraffic Phas- ing Initiative. They can even request that their names be removed from the counter measure's petition. So far, Caustin said, he has received 500 responses and the City Oerk has received 600. Caustin said be doesn't intend that his new organiza- tion would replace Greenlight; it covers additional issues. Fight 1Taffic also opposes the controversial Dunes resort proposal being consid ered by the City Council. The 470- room hotel and time-share resort would bring an esti- mated $1.4 million a year in sales tax to the city. Edwards contests some or the information on Caustin's filer. Calling the 1Talfic Phas- ing Initiative •the poison pill" measure, the flier claims the measure simply confirms existing traffic laws and does- n't help the fight against John Wayne Airport expansion. But Edwards says ma.lcing the ordinance part of the City Charter would ensure that one of the county's toughest traffic laws could not be changed without a citywide vote. The initiative "would keep all major intersections in the city to 90% or less" or traffic capacity and provides effec- tive land-use planning in the airport area, Edwards said. '}'llE NEw "They don't want people to have a choice.• Edwards said. "Put it on the ballot and let the people decide." Edwards also checked out accusations included in the flier, that iraffic Phasing Ini- tiative petitioners are lying to voters to get signatures. As an experiment, Edwards said, he went unno- ticed to some petition tables and carefully listened to what residents were being told. He does not believe voters are being coerced or lied to. Still, Greenligbt has claimed that its measure 1s necessary because of a devel- opment-happy council. "They want to see the world the way they want it,~ Edwards said. ) I ~4\\\'3\11_ A.THLETJt f/11. ,~ NEW O WNERSHIP!

And who can resist the show's lovable characters: A puppy !lamed Blue and his sidekick/owner, Steve. Similar to the 1V show-which has more than 30 million viewers each week-the stage production moves from scene to scene with Blue dropping clues to find "the most happiest place of all.• Unable to find the clues, let alone know what they mean when he finds them, Steve relies on the audience to keep tabs on their "handy dandy note- books," which will be given to audience members prior to the performance. sion, said his character is every kid's ideal grown-up: "He's not too bright, but he's always eager to play. And1 he has the abili- ty to make kids feel like peers: From the kids' point of view, it's different from the 1V show because it takes place in a theater and gives them a closer look at how their favorite program is performed, Mizer said. But from an actors' perspective, he said, the stage production bas one main differ- ence to the 1V show: "It's live!" The 28-year-old actor/writer-who won a grant as a writer-in-reside'nce for the National Music Conference at the Eugene O'Neill Theater Center-usually spends a lot of time writing in his New York apart- ment•and going on WlSUccessful auditions. Story by Claudia Figueroa •rm kind' of limited in the parts I get,• said Mizer, who competed for the role of Steve with about 200 other actors. Tom Mizer, as Steve in the stage ver- "I'm a very specific type. I'm not the kind of guy who can play leading roJes, so I have to wait for quirky roles to come a long. Occasionally, you hope to get that national commercial that pays very well.• The more who eat, the more get fed Claudia Figueroa DAILY P1LOT Turkey vegetable soup never tasted so good. George Neureuther of Some- one Cares Soup Kitchen says the ingredients are basic: five pounds of potatoes plus celery, carrots, onions, a dash of this and a dasb of that, and three large turkeys -all of which fills a 30-gallon steel pot and pro- vides up to 250 meals. Uke many people who pride themselves on their cooking, Neureuther finds great inspira- tion in preparing dally home- cooked meals. But a much greater influence on his work are the dozens of people who 'Summer Solstice' will benefits soup kitchen, which provides 250 meals daily to those ~ need ·Sometimes hunger is closer than you think," Neuteuther said. The soup kitchen, on 19th Street in Costa Mesa, fills dozens of empty stomachs each day. The kitchen prepues meals and feeds hundreds of homeless people, using dona- tions from residents and local restaurants. "Gn Thwsday, 100% of the stice: A Festival of Fine Food & Wme" at the Crate & Barrel wing of South Coast Plaza will be donated to Someone Cares Soup Kitchen and Second Harvest Food Bank or Orange County-a private, nonprofit organization that collects and distributes food through a network of more than 300 local charities. Michael Doyle, a managing 'partner at th& Clubhouse Restaurant in the mall, has been named the event's honorable chairman. Doyle, a former manager of food and beverage at Disney- land and a supporter or home- less organizations, has for years parlayed his experience and Tom Mizer will play Steve in "Blue's Clues Uvel" stage productton at the Orange County Performing Arts Center. Of his character, Mizer says he's every kid's dream grown-up: "He's not too bright. but he's always eager to play. Aiid be bas the ability to make kids feel like peers." Mizer performs several song Jllld dance numbers throughout the show. And the role came at the right mome nt, he said. It presents him with a rare opportunity to exercise talents he never thought he bad, mainly the ability to impersonate Elvis, which always gets a reaction from the audience. "It's a kick to walk out on stage and have 3,000 kids screaming at you: As a result of getting the role, he is grad- pally becoming a child advocate. A child of the •Sesame Street• genera- tion, Mizer said today's 1V shows are at the mercy of mass marketing and makers of children's products. He' thinks most of the shows lack lessons that build confidence or teach them how to express themselves. "What you'll see these days is a lot of kids' shows are being sponsored by toys and other kids' products,• be said. "It's really not about entertainment and educa- tion anymore. It's about finding ways to occupy your children's time.• SEE BLUE PAGE A16 1------snwfle4n and-Out of-his-ldtchen. .. -Sol-E MGEA16 CONllAO lAU I OAJLY PILOT The Clubhouse'• managing partner, Michael Doyle, left, and execuUve c.bef Leonard Delg.clo, create a meatloaf and mabed potato sundae. lbe duo will participate tn "Summer Solstice" at Soatb Coast P1ua, wblcb benefits Some- ~ Kltdlee~~B'"k ot Oraage~--- • F•1t11ilc FIR IODIY .

Arts commissioners, in tan- dem with library officials, have been pushing for a $12- million arts and education center for about two years. The public project would include a 400-seat hall and classrooms and would be a great place to present a film festival, display artwork or hold educational workshops. And it would be so conve- niently located right next to the library. It's quite a concept, and one that doesn't seem likely to draw much opposition. So why would anyone object to it? The answer to that only leads to another question: Why would anybody want to build it on property that is dedicated Lifeguard says prevention No. 1 No question about it. Your article was right on ("Memo- ries of ocean's dangers come in waves," June 8). So many time~. we as We- guards wish we could station a person at each one of the warning signs at the towers, the street ends and through- out the parking Jots. Th~ we'd force everyone to read the warning signs and explain to us, the Weguards, what is meant by the warning. Prevention ls No. 1 these •-Of days, .. tier as we THE WEEK ~e~~ut the' word of the dangers. But peo- ple must also listen. Recognition is next, and our lifeguards-ages 16 to 66-<lo an amazing job of reading the ocean conditions that change by the hour, as well as daily. Response is where the glo- ry ls sometimes placed. But prevention will remain No. 1, as noted by the 100,000 preventive actions taken by the lifeguards each season. This compares to the 5,000 rescues typically performed each year. Just think what wouW hap-. pen if the preventive a.ctions were not made. JOHN ILAUER Community Relations Officer and Weguard for 32 seasons Newport Beech Fire and Marine Department open space? mittee says it needs to secure The proposed site of the the space so the planning center, between Avocado process can be~. Avenue and MacArthur Boule-.. Yes, it is reasonable enough vard, is a 12-acre piece of par- adise within Newport Center. Those pushing for the arts and education center want the City Council to promise them 3.5 acres of the prime real estate, which happens to afford one of the best public ocean views in all of the city. Not only that, the natural coastal sage scrub -disap- pearing faster than ever along the Southern California coast -is habitat for many native bird species. Vernal pools, sea- sonal ponds that also provide a home for endangered critters, have been spotted on the site, as well. Eager to make some progress on the project, the arts and education center com- to say Newport should have a cultural center as soon as pos- " sible. · But it also seems reasonable to broaden the search for a site. There must be available spots that would be suited for a cultural center but would not take away a beautiful bit of open space. The proposal to puild much- needed housing for low- income senior citizens on the plot of land was scrapped because of open-space con- cerns on the part of residents and city officials. If that isn't considered a worthy enough cause for replacing what very little undeveloped land the city has left, we don't know what possi- bly could be.

Thank you for voting for our schools. I think it was nice of you to vote. We've got a sec- tion of 18 tiles coming out of our ceiling, our water tastes "sick" and our bathrooms don't work well. There were 100,000 people registered and only you 20% voted. Thank you! We need at least $6-million worth of repairs for our entire school. That's a lot of money, but we can get it because of all the voters who said •yes.• Thank you one last time. MICHAEL BINGHAM I would like to thank you all for voting yes. Now our schools will look and be better than they were . You have to care to vote, so that's what you did. Thank you. In my classroom and in the hall next to us, lf!rmites eat their breakfast, lunch and din- ner on the wood. That's going to change, thanks to you. DEREK BOLER Thank youl Our school real- ly needs help. The mo_ney that you voted for schools will help us. Outside, the bathrooms are so bad. Our water fountains • are so bad too. Inside our class- room there are 18 tiles ready to fall from the ceiling. At our back door, the termites are having breakfast, lunch and dinner and maybe1some snacks. But thanks to you, that will change. KRYSTAL CRAMER Thank you to the people who voted, who are educated about our schools and not too lazy to vote. It makes a big dif- ference to what our schools look like. We have 18 tile blocks that are about to fall off our ceiling. . But the people who voted are going to change that problem. So we are going to have a good school next year. GRANT BISSELL Thank you for voting and helping our schools. I bet you did not know that 80% of the voters did not care an~ stayed al their houses, but you cared about our schools. 1bank you very much for helping us. We have-had termites and some of the Wes are falling off our ceiling. Thank you very much for voting to change this. JACOI PRIVETT Thank you, voters, for help- ing our school be a safer and better place.

Every single vote counts. If people don't care, are lazy and uneducated about schools and don't vote, that's not very polite. Only educated people care, aren't lazy and vote. Once again, I would like to thank all the people wbo'vot- ed. LACEY JOHN\oN Thank you for voting for our schools. And thank you for going out of your way and coming to our school to vote.

' I 5EC'llONI FAll&'S DAY SPEaAL Pilot Readers and staff offer up photographs and antecdotes as we pay homage to Newport-Mesa fathers H e taught you how to play your favorite sport, spent hours in a parking lot sh owing you how to drive a stick shift. He waited up witil ~e wee hours for you to come home from your first date. He's your dad, and S unday is the one day of the year that's dedicated to him. As a special tribute to him, the Daily Pilot presents lmages of Dad, a collection of snapshots from Newport Beach and Cos- ta Mesa residents. We asked our readers to submit ·their most treasured photographs of fathers, and Noaki Schwartz REPORTER'S NOTEIOOK In a world I didn 't seem to fit into, Dad was my hero I remember the first time my face betrayed me. I was about 7 and just small enough to crumple below the grocery store counter and cry. The checkout clerk had glanced over and asked if she could help the little Asian girl who could not possibly belong to the blue-eyed man standing beside her. The clerk was just being polite, as were all the others who over the years have asked if I was my dad's girlfriend, wife or even "lady fnend." As a kid I cried, as a teenag- er I blushed and now, as an at1ult, I roll my eyes and laugh. That incident wasn't the first time I had run into problems being half Japanese and half white. At age 4, I started going to Japanese school ~very Sat- urday to learn more about my mother's heritage. I was one of the few kids who were half white and would ntually come home with a black eye or welts from being forced to sit on a red-ant hill by bullies. This went on for some time until my dad swept into the school, grabbed the boys and slammed them into a parked car. In his best Clint Eastwood snarl, he told the m to leave his daughter alone or he'd call the police. At that moment he became my hero. And I did all I could to be just like him. I imitated his calm speech pattern, his ele- phant-like walk and even tried to drink bitter black coffee. I felt an overwhelming urgency to show that J was his daugh- ter-which is why the clerk's comment was such a slap. almost instantly they poured in. Within a week we had more than 70 images, enough to fill nine pages in this section. As we opened the envelopes, we smiled, we chuckled and -with a couple of pictures -tears welled up in our eyes. The photos capture new fathers cud- dling their infants, a proud dad dancing with his little-girl-turned-bride, dads goof- ing around in the front yard with their kids and generations of dad$ together. These moments captured on film are priceless. We hope you will enjoy them as much as we dld. !

According to OCC men's basketball coach Mark Hill, he sees this as something that could have a major effect on his program. "In this area, a lot of ath- letes are more academic-ori- ented and are shooting for the four-year schools right out of high school.· Hill said. "For this year, it won't be that big a deal, but for next year and beyond this could have a , huge impact. It will allow us to look into new areas for us that might be stronger in bas- ketball then other areas.• For football coach Mike Taylor, in a sport that involves such a high volume of players, extra recruiting areas will be a nice bonus. "It definitely opens up a lot more schools for us,• Tay- lor said. "We can know talk to the athletes through their schools without feeling like we're tampering with the athlete.• One factor on the impact of this new rule involves the strength of the high school programs in that particular sport. For men's soccer coach Laird Hayes, he doesn't see the extra area as that much of an advantage.

The main purpose of this new ruling is to create what is perceived to be a more even playing field with the rest of the colleges in the state.

One of the major losses was the sterling quarterback of the championship Harbor High football team in 1942, Vernon Fitzpatrick. He was machine-gunned in mid~ by Japanese fighter planes over Leyte in the Philippines on Dec. 8, i9«. Ironically, Fitzpatrick had been previously wounded and hospita.liz_¢ during the invasion of November Island, New Guinea, but was released a month later to prepare for the Leyte offen- sive. His loyalty lo Harbor High remained till the end of his life. He had made one last campus visit from Fort Ben- ning, Ga., before he shipped overseas. The profound grief touched many friends: future Newport Mayor Ruthelyn Plummer who dated him; legendary fullback Harold Sbefiln; as well as Coach Wendell Pickens, Darren McGavren and Johnny Ikeda of the '41 grid team. A courageous "rookie crew,• which included a young co-pUot named Walt Kelly, '36 All-Orange League end, scored two triumphs in three days aboard a B-42 Liberator bomber labeled • Yanlcs from Hell.• The last strike wasn't m the •playbook • on a pro- posed night at 26,000 feet over Japan's •Pearl Harbor.· Rabaul Bay. Heavy clouds forced the crew to circle for a landmg spot \viUun range of Rabaul and rise early for a bold and daring day run. The incredu- lous adventure would stun the experts. It was almost suicidal. But the Yankee bombers •skimmed· the water at 8,000 feet over the J apanese armada. The day would soon be loaded with deadly ack-ack. The crew had 40 seconds to hit the · biggest ship -a giant cruis- er -and escape. All three bombs buckled the ship in dead center. Although worn and weary Crom a flurry of 10 missions, plans were charted for an 11 tb run after they reached home base. Prior to the 11th ITl.lSsion, doctors, noting Kel- ly's need for medical atten- tion, confined tum to quarters For some reason, after bis crew had departed. Kelly stepped outside the tent. After viewing a huge cloud or black smoke at the end of the airstnp, he asked an observer to explain the smoke. His crew had perished. Two Shefun brothers, Bob a nd Harold. were on ships that sunk. Bob saw one heavy shell come through his engine room before he escaped, and was in Pacific waters for 72 hours.

It was hts squadron that fired the hrst shots back at the enemy illI· craft. Brown not only survived subsequent battles 111 the South Pacific. but out of WWU and the Korean War, survived seven airplane crashes.
