Maybe test scores
hf!-ve improved,
but not enough
I. don't know the •aSsoci-
ate• to whom Joe Bell
was referring in his col-
umn of July 6, but I wish that
just once an opponent of the
Ten Commandments in the
classroom, or prayer in
schools, or the tnere mention
of God on campus, would
explain to the rest of us why
it is OK to educate kids all
about sex and drugs and
even facilitate their use, but
we cannot mention that God
may have
made us.
Every
retort I've
ever read
has either
avoided or
failed in its
defense of
this one
comparison.
Why do
schools ban
Pokemon
cards but
allow kids to listen to mUsic
with lylics that have no place
in society, let alone a public
school?
What do we ban. and who
decides? Tbe Supreme Court
bu decided, for now, that
God does not make the cut
The message we send to ow
kids with all of this is twisted
and confused and so some of
them become twisted and
confused.
No one I know cares a
whit about the Supreme
Court ruling banning God
from public schools. They'll
just push harder for vouchers
to get around them. And
regardless of the outcome of
the voucher initiative, they'll
push for an etplanation of
the God vs. sex in schools
question.
Right now, there are more
pressing questions for ow
school board -more wgent
than Pokemon or even Harty
Potter. I am one who wants .
to know why board member
Serene Stokes seemed so
surpriled about the honible
Stanfotd 9 scores at a few
West Side schools.

COSTA MESA -Jury
selection begins Monday in
the murder trial of Steven
Allen Abrams, the man prose-
cutors allege purposely aimed
his car at a local preschool,
killing two children, mjuring
seven others and stunning an
entire community with the
brutality of the crime.
Two children, Sierra Soto,
4, and Brandon Wiener, 3,
were killed in the May 3,
1999, incident at the South-
coast Early Childhood Leam-
ing Center in Costa Mesa.
Several other children and a
teacher's aide were injwed.

Abrams faces two counts of
mwder and seven counts of
attempted murder. Prosecu-

penalty, claiming Abrams
deliberately steered his 1961
Cadillac through a chain-link

l B ut I can't stay a little girl forever, Daddy. I have to grow up. God
wants me to.•
My daughter, Amy, said this to my hus-
band, Jon, when she was about 3 years
old. JQn was teasmg her about not obeying
his wishes for her to stay 3, but she
seemed acutely aware that God had other
plans for her.
I thought back to that conversation last
week because I was around another delight-
ful 3-year-old. I was actually with delightful
child.nm of all ages in fun neighborhoods
and at family get-togethers. ~
My brother and ~in-Jaw organized a ·
great neighborhood block party and invited
family members to come, as well. There ·
were children and adults of all ages, and I
had fun conversations covering everything
from babies to college applications, vaca-
tions and grandcbildren: For a while I sat
next to a mother who was holding and rock-
ing be{EOUS young son. •rm ust starting out at this whole par-
enting l,fl• and there is so much to do
and know, she said. •And I bear it just
keeps getting harder."
I heard a similar comment from some-
one else, and this is a summary of what I
tried to communicate.
"Whoever told you that did you a disser-
vice," I said. "It doesn't get harder, it gets
different. Enjoy the fun of each age and
stage, and you'll be ready for the next one
when it comes. Each step is unique and
special. You learn and grow as your chil-
dren learn and grow."
I said a few more things that I hoped
would encourage them, because I remem-
ber clearly bow I felt when people said
things that scared me about my children
getting older.
One da~ our girls were p-esc:bnolem, ~~in~~~~~
unloaded the f~ ~~stand, they
chatted with the woman behind us.
·011, your daughter& are so cute,• she
said to me. 'Enjoy them now. You know
what they say: 'little ~ple, little prob-
lems.' Just wait unW they get older.•
I was startled at how quickly something
that sounded like a compliment at first, hit
me more like a missile. I don't remember
what I said to the woman that day, but I do
recall thinking that her comment was as
helpful as hearing difficult childbirth stories
when I was pregnant.
I was still tbi.nldng about what the
woman said as I unloaded my groceries at
home; and I decided l'd'try to encourage
pa.rents whenever I have the opportunity. I
hope I've encouraged some parents over
the years.
Someone once told me that raishlg chil-
dren is like gardening, and we need to do
all we can to help the proceiS but be care-
ful not to hwry or hinder it. I agree with
those words, and I would add a few more.
Ra.isi.ng ~en is like nourishing and
nurturing priceless roses, and God b~
parents with wonderful opportunities to
enjoy the special beau~d fragrance as
children slowly unfold and blossom every
day.
And you can quote me on that.

Irvine C0. to help preseITVe nature sanctuary
•Newport Beach-based
developer donates
$1,5 million to the Irvilie
Ranch Water District's San
Joaquin Wildlife Sanctuary.
Aa.xCooltmtn
DAILY PILOT
The Irvine Co. announced Friday
that it will donate $1.5 million to a
wildlife sanctuary on land main-
tained by the Irvine Ranch Water
District.
The Newport Beach-based devel-
oper pledged to make five annual
payments of $300,000 to the San
Joaquin Wildlife Sanctuary, a 300-
acre preserve of indigenous plants
and animals in Irvine.
Friday also saw a ceremony at the
preserve commemorating the
restoration of the habitat there.
In decades past. the land in the
41'84 was devoid .of local spedel, said
Peer Swan, San Joaquin Wijdllfe
Sanctuary board president.
•What we have.-Swan said, ·11
basically old farmland that had been
converted to a series of duck p6nda,
abandoned, and then overgrown by
a bwlch of nonnative plants. There
were very few native species there,
very few wetlands.•
Since tbe mid 1990s, though, the
Irvine Co. and the water district have
been working to repair the habitat,
regrading large areas of land and
flooding them to restore the charac-
ter of wetlands.
Swan noted that with its work on
this project, the Irvine Co. has earned
credit to develop other parcel of land.
But Irvine Co. spokeswoman Jen-
nifer Smith noted that the company's
efforts did more than earn it the right
to build elsewhere.
•Some of what has been done out
there was a mitigation effort, but
about a third of the total restoration
efforts th.at have occurred have hap-
pened outside the scope of any miti-
gation,• she said. ~There's a great
deal being done above and ~ond
the call of duty that we're proud of.•
The developer's donatiQn Will be
used to build the wildlife sanctuary's
endowment, Swan said. Interest from
the money will be used for operating
expenses and to fund public out-
reach programs.
•A lot of people aren't even aware
that this place exists,• Smith said. ·u·s this oasis."

Unappreciated in Costa Mesa, potter
Joe Pelka1s koi-themed vases are now
the toast of the·Ven(ura County town
Gall Davis
DAILY PILOT
A side from those who have
a passion for cookie jars,
most Costa Mesa resi-
dents probably don't
remember much about Joe Pelka.
The self-proclaimed potter says
be was never appreciated much in
this area for his artistic endeavors.
So eight years ago, be and his
wife packed their bags and moved
from Costa Mesa to Ojai, the
sleepy little art colony in Ventura
County. •
That's when something clicked,
he said. The atmosphere was dif-
ferent. People started buying his
work.
"The attitude in Orange County
was: potter .. , bum,• he said. •But
here, the community supports
artists. If you're a potter, they lik:~
you. The Chamber of Commerce
wants you to be a member.•
Pelka's work is on display at the
Ojai Valley Museum through July
30, along with nature prints by
P.G. Hochberg of Santa Barbara.
The vases, mostly with koi
themes, have earned Pelka a spot
at some of the West Coast's top
juried arts festivals, and sell for
$160 to $1,000 apiece.
Pelka said he developed his
trade as a potter by throwing rocks
at fish. .
Not pottery shards, he says. It
wasn't artistic frustration.
They were just rocks and he
was a kid. He loved koi, the ele-
gant big brothers to common gold-
fish, and spent countless hours at a
koi farm nea.r bis Orange County
home, throwing pebbles into the
comers of the fish ponds.
The koi would race to the rocks,
expecting food.
Pelka was fasanated by their
grace as they slipped through the
water in chorus.
His work today is a far cry from
his first professional work with
ceramics: glazing cookie jars in
Costa Mesa. Pelka says he still
can't believe his good fortune to
build a career by creating what he
likes: koi.
"It's -·trust your instincts,' • he
said.
Instinct and success didn't
always go hand in hand.
Pottery first became a passion
for him in a high school ceramics
class. He .. expanded his skills
through ceramics classes at a
· junior college, which opened the
door to the cookie jar job -hardly
the artistic life he envisioned, but it
paid the bills, Pelka said.
Meanwhile, he continued class-
es at the junior college and recalls
a.n assignment that formed the
basis for most of his work.
He was assigned to make an
exact replica of a utilitarian water
jug, with clay of the same chemical
makeup of the original, and fired
to produce the sam&end-product.
Next, the instructor had him
create a pot slightly varied from
the original, then a pot slightly var-
ied from that, and on and on, fur-
ther from the original.
·1 continue to do that; it's a
great assignment,· Pelka said.
"You've got a base that's legiti-
mate, you learn that clay's got cer-
tain properties and that you've got
to play by the rules.•
The assignment taught him to
be creative, he said, but still to stay
true to the classic, utilitarian func-
tion of1 pottery. Important lesson,
but bis pots still didn't sell and the
day jobs continued: From cookie
jaJ1'-9lazer he switched to drill oper-
ator at an aircraft plant, then a cab-
inetmaker, but kept making
ceramics on the side.
Almost three years ago, he gave
up his job as a cabinetmaker to
make ceramics full-time. His wife
handles the business side or his
studio, freeing him to spend more
time at his craft, he said, which has
made even more of a difference.
In the past two years, his work
has evolved from smfill pieces in
muted tones, to elegant, vividly
colored vases or all sizes -some
with flying anemone-like exten-
sions just below the lip, faintly
reminiscent of jug handles.
He said he enjoys experiment-
ing, and one recent venture, on
display at the museum, lS a 2-foot-
tall garden mural of koi, framed in
a black, polished wood frame.
"The cabinetmaking has come
in handy,· he said.

Team of youri,g professionals suPfXJrts Alzhehner's Helplihe
M ore than 250 guests,
many of them
under the age of 30,
rallied Jut week to support
Alzbeimer'a disease research
and patient support. It was
the fourth annual gathering
tot a group known as Team
Bxtreme, made up ~f mostly
young, singl!! prof~~onal
people who care el'iough
about the ravages of
Alzheimer's to get involved.
While some of the members
of the organization ~ve per-
sonal reasons to support
Alzheimer's causes-includ-
ing caring for a parent, rela-
tive or loved one who has the
disease. Far more have no
personal involvement other
than the desire to make a
difference in a fight they
know that to date has no
happy ending.
The Team Extremers-
organized by Vldorta Bonetti
of Newport Beach, Jacque
DuPont and Becky Lomaka-
chose a western theme for the
affair staged at the Crazy
Horse Steakhouse, Irvine.
The Newport-Mesa crowd
turned out in force, as hap-
pens with other Alzheimer's
events, to raise funds and
awareness concerning the
Alzheimer's Helpline.
Linda Scheck, executive
director of the Alzheimer's
Assn. of Orange County,
pointed out: •Tue
Alzheimer's Helpline is a
vital resource for families.
•The Helpline is, m many
cases, the first contact for
patients and families, con-
necting them with free
resoW'CeS, emotional support
and education they will need
to cope with the stages of
Alzheimer's disease,• she
said, adding, "There are
nearly 50,000 Alzheimer's
patients in Orange County.
Alzhellner's disease ranks as
the fourth leading ~use of
death in the United States.•
The Crazy Horse was
transformed into a western

casino with gaming, dancing,
an auction and plenty of
great western oookin' to
please the large crowd.
"It is so gratifying to witness
so many YO\mg people-focused
on malring a differimce for oth·
ers," Scheck added.
The association board
President Loren Shook, also
on hand for the fun, said,
"We are proud of this de(li-
cated group of young profes-
sionals who can come
together to enjoy a great
evening and also manage to
change so many lives. ft
The $40-per-person tick-
ets helped Team Extreme tal-
ly more than $20,000 from
the evening for the Helpline.
In the crowd from New-
port-Mesa were Victoria
BonetU's family, including
Camille, Barry and Frank.
Also attending were Beth

These plants require very
little thought and mainte-
nance.
In the right place, these
•no-brainer" choices can dis·
guise an eyesore, breakup
the monotony of a large
blank wall and create visual
interest. They do have a
down side, however. If you
are partial to the integrity of
y,our stucco wall, the paint
finish'on your fence, Of the
texture of your masonry,
leave these plants off your
list; their root-like holdfasts
can damage the surfaces of
these areas.
Tue good news.is that
these vines, such as Boston
ivy and evergreen Hedera
ivy, can cover large areas
quickly, are extremely hardy
and are ver:y easy to grow.
Boston ivy grows upward
. and attaches to a vertical sur-
face with sticky disks. The
leaves are two to three inches
aaoss and change color in the
t: fall. turning yellow, red and
brown before tbey me their
leaves tar the winter. 1be
bare vines exposed during the
winter IMDtl>s have a very
interesting look to them and
break up the monotony of a
large area.· .
In spring, bright green
leaves resume their foaner
position and you have planes
of green foliage, which is a
nice back;drop for the rest of
your garden or beautiful all
on it's own.
Boston ivy can be trimmed
to limit growth; it's hard to
hUrt this deciduous climber.
Hedera ivy comes in all sizes
and variations. From the
miniature 18!lves of the topiary
variety to the large leaves of
the ground cover, this ivy is a
workhorse. It does run ram-
pant once it gets a bead of
steam. 'tiut in the right area. a
wall of small-leafed variegat-
ed. ivy is a beautiful addition
and a Dice backdrop for a
fOWltain or a great cover-up
for eyesores.

This vine will climb to 20

The spring and summer

ICOl'8I at Wilson and Whitti-

1998, the fourth-grade
spelling score was 20. 'This

But the spin we get is that

delighted with the scores
because most of them are
up. How up? At Wilson,
across the board, the aver-

points over last year. In 16
categories -four grade lev-
els and four test sections -
scores are down in five,
nearly one-third.

them as well, these terrible

might say good scores mean good

Standardized exams are meant to
measure both how well the students are

'Commend the Oty Council for

And, with respect to the
acoustic issues, I witnessed the
Planning Commission members
submitting technical questions to
the preparer of the in-depth envi-
ronmental study, called an Envi-
ronmental Impact Report or EIR.
The staff had cautioned them that
the person who prepared the
acoustic section was not \n atten-
dance. and the individual they
were questioning may not have
been qualified to respond.
An increase in city revenue in
excess of $1.4 million is frequently
mentioned to convince Newport
Beach residents this is a desirable
project. I assume this increase is
predicated on all Dunes' guests
and conventioneers as being addi-
tive -and not reducing business
at the other hotels and restaurants
in the city.
I have also beard comments
sugg~g that if Newport does
n.ot allow the project to be built.
neighboring cities would permit
development that adds to our traf-
fic congestion. But we would not
get the benefit of the revenues.
If our mayor and City Council
members th.ink we are at risk in
this area., why not arrange meet-
ings with their counterparts in
neighboring dties1 They could
propose a voluntary developmeot

chase 13\rans Hotels interest in the

'Big
Break' MARIANNA OAY MASSEY I OAl.Y Pl.OT
Singing the Stevie Wonder song "Sunshine," Everett "Holywood" Allen auditions for the TV show .. Your Big,
Break" at Encore Music Productions and Management Group ln Costa Mesa. •
By Joyce Scherer
T here is no doubt "Holywood"
Everett Allen has the voice,
moves and charisma of superstar
Stevie Wonder. But the question
still lingers: Can the Costa Mesa
resident successfully compete against the
sounds of The Baxter Boys, Ricky Martin or
Garth Brooks?
"I know the Lord is preparing me for
thing~ I will be able to handle when he
blesses me,• Mid the 38-year-old Allen,
who changed his nickname from •Holly-
wood• to • Holywood • after recovering
from a 1987 random drive-by shooting.
Allen is one of thousands of contestants
throughout the United States who have
tried to land a spot on •Your Big Break,• a
one-hour talent show airing weekly on
UPN-TV Channel 13.
The year-old program that is part of Dick
Clark Productions for Buena Vista Televi-
sion showcases nonprofessional contenders
portraying their favorite singers and per-
forming one of the star's greatest hits.
Friends and family of <;:osta Mesa's Everett Allen always say
' he sings like Stevie Wonder. But what will the rest of the
country think? He'll get his big chance on 'Your Big Break,'
a Dick Clark-produced TV show featunng singers who
sound like famous people.
But this is no #Gong Show,• or Milli
Vanilli lip sync. Each challenger must have
the muskal ability to imitate his or her
singing Idol -down to the smallest man-
nerism or up to the highest note.
·vou can be a good technical singer, but
the thing you can't really fake is the emo-
tion and how you relate to a song,· said
T.K. Brown. owner of Costa Mesa-based
Encore Entertainment.
Brown's studio hosts some of the initial
auditions for the TV show, and Allen's talent
made its mark at one of the tryouts in
Orange County.
"Everett projects honest emotion m what
he does and you feel it. That is what makes
him special because he sings from the
heart,• Brown said.
The Florida-born Everett, who works as
a care giver for the disabled, said his
singing career started at about age 5.
•My daddy was a church deacon and
both my undes were pastors, so we spent a
lot of time at church,• he said. "When 1
was 7, I was traveling around to different
churches, singing.•
But it was in talent shows that the
young Allen could really unleash his danc-
ing and vocal mastery. And it was during
these performances he was dubbed •Hol-
lywood."
•My brothers would say I was just a big
showoff, that I embarrassed them because
I would always sing and dance at talent
shows and big parties, mainly doing Stevie
Wonder, Al Greene and James Brown,•
Allen recalled .
#1 would tell my brothers, 'I guess my
money is embarrassing you too,' because
people would pay me to perform,• he
added with a laugh. "That is when people
would tell my brothers that they had their
own 'Hollywood,' and that's how the name
started.•
And maybe the early Wonder imitations
will payoff yet.
Brown said he has not heard a better
Wonder imitator. And considering that
Brown and his wife, Pam, are seasoned
karaoke hosts for numerous venues
throughout Orange County -winning
several awards for their hosting skills -
that could be a well-educated review.
Allen recently learn he made the cut
and will be one of 100 singers chosen to
trek down the long road for the show's
coveted first-place honors, which include
such booty as $25,000 and a possible
recording contract.
His next stop -sometime next month
-will be on Stage 1 at a Burbank studio.
It's the same stage that was once home to
"The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson,•
now housing "Your Big Break.•

The 100 participants are
divided into groups of five
for the competition. The
three-day process includes
instructions by a gro\lp of
dance, voice, makeup/wig
and costume professionals.
By the time the contenders
take the stage, they will be
transformed into their
singing idols.
Their fate then -and all
the way through the finals -
will be in the hands of audi-
ences of 100 members, who
use a special electronic key-

winner of each episode wins
a spot in the show's semifi-

on to the seven-person finals

The familiar angles of speedway racers appear to be fading out at the Orange County Fairgrounds.
VANI SHl·NG A CT?
U this is the final year for the Costa Mesa
Speedway, as many believe it to be, fans and
racers will be losing a beloved institution.

DAILY PlloT
N early every Saturday, fans start to gather at the
Orange County Fairgrounds around 6 p.m. The
first motorbike race at the weekly Costa Mesa
Speedway is still more than an hour away. But
people start forming a line slowly, with the anticipation
growing at the same pace. ·
When the gate opens at 6:30, the fans start streaming in
steadily to take a seat in one of the rickety old bleachers.
Meanwhile, the kids immediately run through 'the box
seats seats and rush to the retaining wall to greet their
favorite riders before the event.
This has been a tradition for thousands of fans all over
Southern California. The Costa Mesa Speedway has been
a weekly ritual first on Fridays, then Saturdays since 1969.
It bas built a devoted following with small, lightweight
motorbikes zipping around an extremely tight track.
Spectators take in a heavy whiff of exhaust and get pelted
by loose dirt as their favorite riders whiz by. And they
can't seem to get enough.
But all good things must come to an eventual end and
this year could be it for the CO&ta Mesa Speedway. The
Speedway and the Orange County Fairgrounds are
currently embroiled in a Jeue dispute. U both sides can't
reach an agreement, then tbe ea.ta Mesa Speedway will
find itself without a home, and that will leave a void in the
hearts of fans, riden, and orgumen alike.
•When I wake up on Saturdayt and realize that we're

DALY Pl.or
NEWPORT BEACH -
One of these days, the 10-
minute barrier will be bro-
ken at the famous Pikes
Peak International Hill
Climb in Manitou Springs,
Colo.
Newport Beach's Rod
Millen, the longtime record
holder in the Unlimited
Division, still dreams of
being the driver to race up MWeD
treacherous Pikes Peak in
less than 10 minutes, even after a disastrous
Fourth of July. ·
This year, with the conditions near perfect,
Millen's turboclMrger malfunctioned and his
high-speed, carbon fiber 1999 Toyota Tucoma
didn't finish.
"The whole team's disappointed,• Millen
said Friday. "I've always said we needed to be
there when the road conditions were good,
and they were good. We were on a record
pace at the hallWay point.•
Millen holds the record in 10:04.06 (set in
1994) and everything appeared to be in place
Tuesday for a date with history. Pikes Peak
organizers .had moved the race to midday,
before afternoon rains usually arrive to cause
.
soggy grounds high on the mountain.
But Millen's twbocha.rger failed at
George'• Comer, after he covered the first 5.5
miles of the course in 4:21. Millen went
through two of the three radar clocking sta-
tions and recorded speeds of 128.7 mph and
121.6. . '
•You've got to have all your d~·lined up,
and this year we bad one out of order,• Millen
said. •we'll work on developing a machine
and inake it better for next year.•
Millen. who has won five of seven Unlimit-
ed divisk>n championships at Pikes Peak. bad
established an unofficial practice record on
the course's upper tier, going 2:50.06 in a little
more than three miles.
•we really can't complain too much,•
Millen said, referring to his dominance the
past seven years. •0t course, we want to win
every year, but that's not reality. Sometimes,
all these high-performance parts are going to
have its failures.•
Larry Rag land's winning time was 11 :20, an
indication of how far ahead Millen's team has
been at Pikes Peak, which is 14,110 feet.
Millen, 49, enjoyed watching his son. Rhys,
who broke his own record set last year by
almost nine seconds in Higl\ Performance
Showroom Stock, with a time of 12:04.61 in a
2000 Mitsubishi EVO. Rhys, Millen lives in
Huntington Beach.
•(Pikes Peak) is unique, and it is very spe-
cial to us,• said Millen, a member of the Daily

minute barrier) will be broken. It may or may
not be us, but we'll keep trying.•

from the Costa Mesa Speedway, but ~l meant
the most to them during difficult times.
"One of the things about th:.. place is that
it helped us while I was going through a
divorce,• JEary Harber said. "My daughter
WilS going through a hard time, bu~ coming
here helped us bond as a family.•
There are also a lot of husbands and
wives who attend together. MiJse Pool of
Huntington Beach has been a fixture at
Costa Mesa since 1974. When he first bought
his wife, Joanne, to the track in 1992, she
was instantly hooked. She has not missed a
race for more than eight years.
•I've created a monster,• Mike Pool said
with a laugh. "Ever since I first took her
here, she's the one who's dragging me to the
races.•
D obert Yucknat of Fountain Valley has . n.been a regular for about 10 years. While
he is a fan, his spouse ts even more involved.
Lori, bis wife, is the track scorekeeper. She is
just one of the many •volunteers• at the
track.
•Even though by law we have to pay
people,• Oxley said, •we don't pay them
anything they deserve. Everybody is
overqualified tor the their postttons. But

Wahlbrink saw limited
action for OCC last year due
to a broken arm. As a fresh-

and was one of only three
OCC players to play in all of
