In his educational career, he has taught at the elementary, junior high and high school level, as well as at an alternative school before settling down as a counselor.

So he takes a peRonal interest in his students' pursuits.

Doily Pilot • ' ' UCI professor leads fight against disorder • Researc~ bein9 published today, offers hope for those with Huntington's disease. Deirdre Newman DAILY PILOT UCJ CAMPUS -A ray of hope has emerged from a laboratory here for those suffering from a debilitating brain disorder. Professor Larry Marsh and his team in the biological science department have discovered chemicals that may counteract the course of Huntington's disease. While it may be years before a treatment comes to fruition, it is a pos- itive step on the road toward treating progressive neurological disorders. ·u·s exciting, but I have guarded optimism,· Marsh said. ·science is like peelmg back l#lyers or an onion. Most of the lune it's just more layers.• Huntington's disea::.e is a genetic brain disorder that causes uncontrolled movements, loss of tntellectual capaci- ty and severe emotional disturbances, eventually resulting in death. There is no treatment or cure available. Newport Beach resident Jeant'lie Zetz knows what the effects of the dis- ease can be. She lost her husband to Hunting- ton's disease, and ber two children are dealing with the crippling effects or the juvenile version of the disease - one ii in a psychiatric hospital and another is rn an assisted-living facility. "It's really very sad because your FYI The Huntington's Disease Society of America will host its Celebration of Hope fund-raising dinner Nov. 15 at the Hyatt News)orter. hopes and dreams for your children are cut short,• Zetz said. Marsh's research into Huntington's disease started six years ago when tus team met with another UC lrvme genet· ics group that was trying to identify the gene that caused Huntington's disease. When they found it. it proved suru.lar to some molecules that Marsh was study- ing as part of his cancer research. He is publishing his findings today in the journal Nature. Marsh thought it might be possible to engineer a fruit fly to have I lunting- ton's disease-like symptoms, which would make the disease easier to study. Since Huntington's disedSe has debili- tating psychological ~effects, Marsh's research was conducted in colldbora- tion with professors Leslie Thompson and Joan Steffan, professors of psyctu- atry and human behaVlor. His team hit the jackpot recently when it found one way the Hunllng- ton gene works -it throws off d class of biochemical pathways that dre del- icately balanced . The tnck then was hgunng out how Dr. Larry Manhts ploneertng UClrvtne retea.rch into apoMible treatment for Huntington'• dlseue, a brain dltorder. Working ln the background Is researcher Laszlo Bodal. GREG FRY I DAllY Pl.OT to maintain the balance. There are groups of proteins in the bram that regulate the activity of genes, and they have opposing effects -one group b'ies to turn them off, and the other group mes to tum them on. The Huntington's disease gene was found to stifle the proteins trying lo tum the genes on, so Marsh and his team worked to restore the balance by inJubiting the genes that try to turn the genes off. These mhJbitors are used m phar- maceuticals for cancer chemotherapy that are now being tested for safety in the fifsl phase of clinical trials. Marsh like ns the painstaking research to trying to find a needle in d haystack among many haysldcks. But he remains optimistic that it will ulti- mately generate treatment that can stop the symptoms of Huntington's chsease before they start and also relieve the pain for those who are already affucted "What will be really exallng IS tf m five to l 0 years. someone who hds Huntington's disease is actually bene- hllng from this,· Marsh said C· I At.tlNtl', IT'S TIME FOR ... f~t8 ~0~' i11.o.

"Evidently what they did was, they tore everything out, cleaned it all up and started all over again,· UCI stadium field manager Ralph Cripe said. The first phase of stadium construction is now under- way. Take away the piles of dirt and construction workers surrouhding the field, and a · glimpse of what is to come shines through. The field has the look and feel of many in the big leagues. The grass is short and green, trimmed meticulously with clean edges where 1t meets the outtield warning track and infield dirt. lt is Cripe's obsession. He has been working on base- ball fields since the early 1980s. He is so good at what he does that when UCI base- ball coach John Savage saw a field Cripe had worked on, he recruited him to work on the Anteaters' new project. Cripe, who lives in Carls- bad, commutes about 45 minutes each way to get to UC Irvine during the week. There's no question that be is dedicated to his work. He even has this little test he does to see if the field meets his high standards. He takes a golf ball, sets it on the grass and hits it with his old putter, just to see how smooth the ball glides. •I'm pretty fanatical about the grass,· said Cripe, who is quick to point out that this particular grass is a hybrid Bermuda -developed by Greg Norman -that is known to keep its color even in its dormant stage. •This thing is just like life and like an investment. You can only draw out of the account what you put into it.· Cripe is investing a lot of quality time into UCI's new field, which is just one com- ponent of the new stadium. In the next six to eight weeks, the ballpark should have major league dugouts and batting cages. After that, the finishing touches will be put on, including scoreboards and seats.

I've been picturing it for the last two years. I know exactly what it's going to look like.• He also knows exactly how much it is going to cost. The first phase of construc- tion, which began in August and will be completed next month, will cost about $3 million. The second and final phase will bring the total cost of the stadium to $9 mil- lion. Part of the cost for the sta- dium is being covered by student fees, which increased by $33 a quarter. One benefit to students is that admission to all home athletic events are free. In addition, three new women's sports -golf, water polo and indoor track - were created to keep the school in compliance with Title IX, a federal regulation that requires gender equity 'If this facility allows [players} to exploit their talents and to showcase themselves, and at the same time pro- duce a winning pro- gram for the coach- es, then I think we've at least accomplished one set of goals.' -Ralph Cripe, UCI stadium field manager in athlebcs. The increase in student fees will only pay for the first construction phase. Guerrero said the school will look to the private sector to provide the rest of the funding. In the long run, the pay- off, not so much monetarily, will be of big-league propor- tions. •If thJs facility allows [players] to exploit their tal- ents and to showcase them- selves, and at the same time produce a winnlng program for the coaches, then I think we've at least accomplished one set of goals,• Cripe said.

The homes will be designed around a recreation center and community park. •We chose them because of the quality they bring to their projects,• said Paul Freeman, C .J . Segerstrom & Sons spokesman. The detached homes would range in size from 2,000 to 2,300 square feet and the attached homes from 1,200 to 1,770 square feet, Standard Paafic Vice Presi- dent Gary J ones said.

Numer- ous crime statistics • are released ·'!>roughout the year, every year. Sometimes they reveal improvement, and sometimes they don't. Often, the numbers are ' misleading -for instance, if there's a 100% increase. The jump may sou11d O}anning, but if the number · }lmply rises from 2 to 4, it may mean less than it aeems. -Still, recent crime figures in Costa Mesa are adding up to disturbing news. In May .. the FBI released Jhe 2000 Uniform Crnne Reporting figures. whlch ranked Costa Mesa as one of the salest cities nation- wide. In that report, the city came in 30th of the 209 cities with populations , greater than 100,000. They , were encouraging statistics to read. Then, this week, there was bad news to report. Violent crime climbed 39'Y., in the first six months of the year in Costa Mesa as compared with the same period in 2000, accordmg to the state attorney gener- 4l's office. At the same time, violent cnme d ecreased t .5% statewide Among the violent crimes included were • omidde, forcible rape, ,..""'°bbery, burglary. aggra- "!vated assault, auto theft and larceny/theft. The report also showed there was one homicide in the first six months of the year, compared with none in 2000. And in the past weeks, there have been two murders and one attempted murder making sad h eadlines. Overall, crime climbed 9% -from 1,746 to 1,903 -in the city, according to the numbers. Costa Mesa police offi- cials attribute the large increase to the low statis- tics of 2000, which record- ed a 4% overall drop com- pared with the figures from 1999. However, the FBI's statistics a year ago also showed an increase, as vio- lent cnrnes climbed 15%. It is obvious and unfortu- nate that crime, some of it v10lent, remains a problem in Costa Mesa. Those at the Police Department say they have proactive com- munity-oriented programs in place to reduce the problem. We applaud any step the department takes m trying to reach that goal and encourage more ideas to improve the relationship between the police and residents, as well as the department's ability to fight crime, wherever it may appear. We are confident our officers can get the job done.

A sumptuous feast of roast chtcken with sun-dried tomato, artichoke and basil cream sauce awaited those who stayed. In the sea of black and navy swts and dresses, Balboa Peninsula resident Gay Wassail-Kelly added a spot of color with her blazing red ensemble.

Nowhere was this more prevalent than with Asian cuisines. Now things have changed. North Orange County has a significant Viet- namese population, and there are an increasing number of Thai, Japanese and Korean, as well as regional Chinese. who are more than willing to share their once-exotic foods with us. There seems to be a pattern to this migration, and what once started in the northern part of the county is slowly making great inroads to the Newport-Mesa area. Bamboo Bistro in Corona del Mar is a prime example of the benefits of this cultural diversity. Owner Chau Dong purchased the failing Chinese restaurant six months ago and is now serving an entic- ing cross-blend of Thai and Vietnamese dishes. Chau is Vietnamese, and her mother owns and runs the successful Brodard restau- rant in Llttle Saigon. Realiz- ing that Newport Beach resi- dents might not be as familiar with Vietnamese cooking, Chau wisely incorporated more familiar Thai dishes, creating a menu that offers a sampJi:?:' two Cu1lines that share a ol the same Oavon and~.

Fresh spring rolls differ from egg rolls in that they are wrapped ln a moist rice paper wrapping that is not cooked and are ~ed chilled. I've bad these in both Thai and Vietnamt>re restaurants, so I can't attest to their orlgtn. My favorite are the grilled shrimp paste rolls ($5.75) that are filled with a shrimp mix- rure, shaped into long fingers and rolled with lettuce, mint and cold rice noodles. The rice paper wrapping has a slightly chewy texture, and the dipping sauce that accompanies the dish adds an intriguing sweet and sour fla- vor. U the shrimp paste is too exotic, try the fresh shrimp · variety ($4.75), which substi- tutes steamed, chilled shrimp for the cooked shrimp paste and a peanut dipping sauce, which is definitely Thai-influ- enced. Another unique starter is the Vietnamese crepe (56.75). This is basically a thin omelet. stuffed with chicken, onions, shrimp and sprouts. Ira served alongside a dish with portions of large lettuce leaves, mint and cucumber slices and a light sweet and sour sauce.

Charbroiled pork and chicken ii served in a long plate resembling a nar- row rowboat, along with por- tions ot rtce noodle, various greens and chunks of pep- pery Vietnamese egg rolls.

Sliced beef is braised in a hearty broth along with shrimp paste dumplings, rice noodles and the now-familiar condiments of mint and sprouts. I was particularly impressed with the quality of the beef in this and other beef dishes. Good beef is not always a high point of Asian cooking, and while Bamboo Bistro uses traditional cuts, such as flank and round, the cooking technique always seems to render a tender, fla- vorful result. Diners with a more tradi- tional bent will enjoy the cn.tcken fried rice ($7.50), a large portion of flavorful rice topped with a liberal portion of aisp roasted chicken.
