Starting as an unpaid intern, Roeder quickly climbed to the top of Costa Mesa, becoming the city manager in 1985.

Wayne Nastri, founder and PTesident of the New· port Beach environmental consulting firm Environmen- tal Mediation Inc., was Gable and Cbarles Laughton in "Mutiny on the Bowity." La Shelle's patrons ended up being just as glamorous as the source of his restau· ra.nt's name. Red Skelton, Johnny Weismuller and Howard Hughes were well- known faces there. Newport Beach resident George Grupe remembers dining at the H ut during World War ll with his grandmother and sister while Weismuller "raised hell,• drinking it up at the bar. Grupe's grandmother was laid back about it all, named to the post earlier this month. Nastri recently ~rved on Cal/EPA's Department of Tox- ic Substances Control Exter- nal Advisory Committee. He also served as pro bono leg- lSlative director for the Cali· fomia Environmental Busi- ness Council and was editor- in-chief of the National Assn. of Environmental Profession· als' Environmental News. Nastri will work in San Francisco, heading up the EPA's Region 9. which cov- ers California, Nevada, Ari- zona, Hawaii and the Pacific Islands. He has a bachelor's degree in biological sciences "It was just jampacked with people.

Campbell, who wrapped up hts first year in the Legis· lature earlier this month, was tabbed for the job by minority leader Dave Cox (R-Fair Oaks). Campbell represents Newport-Mesa. Cox cited Campbell's Iron Deficiency causing 'New Energy Crisis" Energy for Life program offers •rear solutions for regaining energy levels R ecent studies have shown that 26% of American women are suffering from a deficiency of iron. Iron, an essential minerals, is needed daily to transport oxygen via the blood, to all of the cells, tissues, and organs in the body. Without iron, these cells, tissues, and organs suffer from a 'lack of oxygen', leading to a substantial decrease in energy levels. Dr. Cathy Canson-Rink, a naturopathic doctor specializing in women's health, states that "there are three major factors ~ffecting energy levels in women. First, stress levels are at an all time high. When the body is under stress, it releases hormones to help us cope. However, if the stress is continuous, the constant production of these hormones exhausts the adrenal glands, causing fatigue. Secondly, the modem diet is based on convenience rather than nutrient dense, whole foods. Poor dietary choices like this are causing many nutrient deficiencies. As food is the body's fuel source, the better our diet, the more energy we will have. Thirdly, as the statistics are showing us, iron deficiency is a major problem among women. Without proper iron intake, energy levels will decrease rapidly. This makes the need for supplementing iron into the diet vital If you want to have high energy levels". The Energy for Ute program offers easy to apply solutions for regaining and maintaining energy levels. "Oflt! of the worst feelings in life is not having enough energy to do the things you want to do" says Dr. Canson-Rink. ·energy for Life addresses the three main causes of this 'energy crisis' by showing you how to reduce stress, improve your die using Whole, nutrient rich, foods, and by Introducing a high quality iron supplement called Floradix Iron + Herbs." Because of Its ul')ique formula. the majority of naturopathic doctors wortdwide are using t=;toradlx Iron + Herbs In their practices. Floradlx uses liquid iron gluconate, the most bio avaHabfe form, In order to offer a superior absorption rate compared to tablets and ~les that tend to be constipating. As well, B vitamins, vitamin C, and ~e herbs have been added to further enhanc, ab&QrptJon. The c:taity use of Aorac:fix Iron + Herbs, causes Iron levels to rtse ._..,........_....,.;.-~ qulckly and as a result, energy leYets are inci'8a8ed and maintained in a relatively short time.

Over the years, La Shelle also founded Christian's Huts in Laguna Beach, San Diego, Hawaii, Corona del Mar and even India. But the Balboa location continued to thrive, drawing in \ourlsts, famous people and locals with a similar place-to-be feel as the Balboa Ba y O ub. But in 1963, the Ba y Club lost its fellow hot spot. Christian's Hut fell prey to a fire that burned the build- ing down one Sunday, and locals mourned. Today, a beige five-story apartment building stands in its place. Wassail-Kelly, who lives near the former two-story Christian's Hut, says the new structure makes the sun set at 3 p.m. instead of 6 p.m .. the way it was in yesteryear. • Do you know of a person, place or event that deserves a historical LOOK llACK7 Let us know.

CtitiCa of the center say 90me, it not m.anr ot them, are illegal immigrants. Because the Job Center ls funded wttb taxpayer money, lt requires that usen lhow proof of legal work status. J But critics charge that this rule is widely ignored, and they have called for the cen- . ter to be closed or at least moved to another part of. town. Among the most vocal is Costa Mesa Qty Council- man Chris Steel, who was elected last November. Inshaw's face provides a different portrait of the cen- ter than what is usually painted in this debate. His troubles are not of residency status or fears of deportation. His problem runs deeper than documentation, he said . And the center is helping him overcome them. l\vo months ago, he was employed at a factory on the East Coast He lived in a comfortable apartment and never struggled to make ends meet Money was.not a problem. he said. Alcohol was. One day this summer, Inshaw hopped on a Grey- hound bus for a cross-coun- try trip to Newport Beach to help a fellow recovering alcoholic celebrate one year of clean and sober living. But the long, boring bus ride was too much for him to handle sober, he said. •By the time I got to her door, all I could say was "help,•• lnshaw said. Without a dollar in his pocket and only the clothes in his suitcase, Inshaw camped out at a sober-living house in Costa Mesa.

Still, the stories he tells differ greatly from those told by Latinos and are a reminder of the divergent problems they face, as well as the bigger issues that swiJl around the center. For 33-year-old Ea:io Gar- cia, the center has been his primary source of employ- ment for years. Inshaw has only worked there for about two months. Garcia is married, and he and his wife both work - she cleans houses -six days a week to afford space in a one-bedroom apartment in Costa Mesa that they share with five other people. lnshaw shares a beautiful- ly furnished, three-bedroom apartment on Balboa Penin- sula with five other recover- ing addicts. lnshaw pays $150 a week, Garcia pays $100 a month. Garcia tells of employers who didn't even offer him water during the course of a day and refused to drop him off closer to his home, even though it was dark and be had no car. Inshaw recalls the woman gave him lemonade and baked him muffins, in addi- tion to paying him for the simple task of raking some leaves in her yard. Garcia said he stays at the Job Center because •regu- lar" jobs don't pay enough. He can make an average of $8 per hour at the center as opposed to minirnwn wage, he said. lnshaw said he prefers the Job Center to a low-paying 9-to-5 job because he can take a day off in the middle of the week to search for a job.

One woman who hired him to help paint took one of lnshaw's resumes and said she would pass it on to some of her clients. Although his work at the Job Center -consisting mostly of general labor like painting and construction - is a far cry from a career with benefits, Inshaw said he has found a new home in South- ern California and wants to establish some roots here. "I love Newport Beach,• he said. ·Although I miss home, I'm going to try to make a go of it here first.

Especially the catalogs. It's like going on -a quick armchair shopping trip. And though most of my purchases are mainly mental, I love to peruse the catalogs that have gourmet delec- tables. Some of the items on my fantasy food list include exot- ic oils and vinegars. Wbenl get a cata- log from Williams- Sonoma, I always dog ear the pages that have products I haven't seen before.

BuYtng a few new Oavon lO add to my cooking Cborel relies my interest leYel con· liderably. 1bele prOducts are an euy way to put a new twist on your old standbys. Last week. I came away with two new Asian prod· udi. An oil and vinegar com· bination that was wonderful sprlnkled over stir-fried snow peu and a spicy blend of Chinese flavors that makes an awesome marinade for a Crock-Pot pork tenderloin. These flavors were also deli- cious poured over steamed rice. Some of my favorite prod- ucts come from a company in the Napa Valley called Olivi· er. This company prepares infused olive oils in decora- tive bottles. A partial list of products includes toasted Panne5an and garlic dipping oil, Tuscan lemon pepper oil, toasted garlic oil and Italian spice dipping oil. The Italian dipping oil is seasoned with balsamic vine- gar, sun-dried tomatoes, gar- lic black pepper and herbs. Add a loaf of fresh olive bread and some minestrone soup, and you have an easy and delicious dinner. The Tuscan lemon pepper oil is great with grilled shrimp, the toasted garlic oil IS a perfect flavor to add to pasta, and the Parmesan and garlic oil is a wonderful top- ping for crostini. Four new ideas for dinner Uus week. You'll be a hero with the family. TickJe your taste buds and hop on over to the sample bar. These specialty oils and vinegars make great hostess gifts, pantry staples and add a little extra spice to your life. • KARIN WIGHT is a Newport Beach resident.

In Costa Mesa alone, the powder panic is generat- ing abQut 15 to 20 calls a day. Yikes. A few people have brought their mail down to the station and asked police to open it. Oth- ers have asked, quite seri- ously, for an officer to come to their home or business and open their mail. In a recent interview, the direc- tor of the FBI's Los Angeles office said they are getting 40 to 50 calls a day from people who want an FBI agent to come by and open their mail What an excel- lent idea. Maybe they could do some yard work or help move something heavy while they're there. In fact, do you need anything from the store? They may as well pick it up on the way. The Newport Beach Fire Department was called to Fashion Island to investigate a suspicious white powder on the sidewalk. Yep. That's the ticket. The perfect ter- rorist plot: Sprinkle granules of a noncontagious sub- stance on the sidewalk in an upscale shopping center in Newport Beach, Calif. One man called Costa M8¥ · police to investigate a suspi- cious white powder on his garage floor. It took just a few minutes for the officer to determine that sQme of the drywall in the garage also looked suspicious, as in ·brand new," which made sense because the man had installed it a few days earli- er. Mystery over. Case closed. Don't get me wrong. No one is saying we don't need to be vigilant. We need to have eyes opened and ears tuned more than ever before. But vigilance and panic are two different things, and a little logic can go a long way, Not that any- one could be blamed for tbinlcing that dangerous men with giant sprinklers of white· powder are lurlong behind every third bush.

Considering how many of these we've seen in recent years, does it matter? The police should have a sepa- rate booking form (or these cases to speed things up.

All the 4ldi- cations are that the anthrax in the various mailings came from the same source. Most of the mailings have been traced to an area in nenton, NJ. The anthrax is in a form th.at is fairly easy to obtain and far different than weapons.grade, or ln the Jargon of the Defense Department, anthrax that has been •weaponized." Producing we&ponized anthrax is extremely dUficult and only two countries In the world have done it: the United States and RUllia. Contrary to the rumor mill -and they're running tbtee shifta at the Diill until further notice -Iraq has not Iraq bu developed a Uquld form of weaponized antbru, which it far lea effective.

Prior to that one death, no one except farmen bad gwen anthru a second thought foryears.\Yhyfarmers? Because antbru spores are a natural substance, com- monly found in soil. Since cows spend about 14 hours a day wlth their snouts m or near soil, they can ingest huge amounts of anthrax in the course of a day. Biolog1· cal weapons are definitely scary. But even if someone did get some weaponized anthrax, it is the least effec· tive bio-weapon. We all remember the loopy Japan- ese cult that released sarin gas in the Tokyo subway in 1995. Prior to th.at, they dld manage to get their bands on some weaPQnized anthrax and released it in aerosol form on at least eight occasions in various Tokyo locations, without any known effect.

The Home Ranch charges thus far appear the more serious, as the district attorney is looking into whether rep~ated meetings between a city committee -comprising two council members and two planning commissioners -and rep- resentatives of C.J . Segerstrom & Sons violated the.Brown Act. The key point here is whether that city committee had negoti- ating authority over the project and therefore had to notify the public about its meetings. At this point, absolutely no fonnal charges have been filed against the city -an important point to rebuorce. But it is equally important to remember how imperative it is that public agencies. including but not limite(l to city coun- cils and school boards, adhere to the state's open- meetings law. The act itself -named for its sponsor, Assembly- man Ralph M . Brown - became law in 1953 aftet a newspaper series detailed the freque ncy of secret, closed-door meetings at all levels of government in California. Over the years, court decisions augmented the law, the Legislature has made its own changes and major revisions were made in 1994. The rationale behind the law is simple: "(B)oards --ande.oJ,mcils and the other public agencies in this state exist to aid in the conduct of the people's business," the law reads. "It is the intent of the law that their actions be taken openly and that their deliberations be conducted openly. "The people of this state do not yield their sover- eignty to the agencies which serve them. The people, in delegating authority, do not give their public servants their right to decide what is good for the people t~ know and what is not good for them to know. The people insist. on remaining informed so that they may retain control over the instruments they have created." Even minor transgres- sions of the act jeopardize the public's business and control of its servants, who work for us on matters both large and small. It is not a law with bluny edges, but one that must be held firm t9 maintain the public's trust in its government. That trust is sacrosanct. And it is why Costa Mesa's possible violations to be investigated and why the Daily Pilot will continue to ensure all meeting doors are open. Good news, tempered , from our campuses N ewport-Mesa schools last week produced a round of much-needed good news after five weeks of drama. fear and anxiety in the aftermath of the Sept. 11 attacks.

And I know what we're doing i s bringing some joy to peo- ple's Jives. That's perhaps more important than ever. The Thurs- day after Sept. 11, we had a show - Dave Brubeck - ready and we thought "Should we cancel it?" And we said "No." And we sold every seat. People wanted that music.' .1 On Wednesday, officials at the Orange County Per- forming Arts Center in Cost.a Mesa revealed Cesar Pelli's design for the new $20()..million coocert &11 alMl music theater lchedaled to open 1n Octo- ber 2005. 0n Thursday, Alllitul City Editor James Meler sat down with the Center's president, Jerry Mandel. at the Center to discuss the new hall, as well as his affinity for jazz and the tenor saxophone. After all of your years ln higher educatton (u a P'O:- fessor, dean. vlce pl'elhlent and vlce c:huacellort, wbat colMnced yoa to do thbf Well, I've always bad a passion for the arts. I am a musician, always have loved music. Arts has always been part of my life. I come from a family of music:i.am. My dad and grandfather were professional musicians. When I was dean at San Otego, I was dean of arts and communications. And, in today's world, arts admin- istrators of big organizations now, more often than not, have a love for the arts and have management, fund- raising and community rela- tions skills. That's what it takes these days. When I became president of the Center, LACMA (Los Angeles County Museum of Art) hired Andrea Rich, who was via! chancellor at UCLA. and.the Getty hired Barry Munitz, who was chancellor at the Cal State University system. And we an three know each other very well, so that was an incredible time. 1bat said a lot to the world about where they're getting their administrators. But I've always loved this, and when th.is opportunity came my W!f!Y -I loved ua, I'm still very much involved there -but this was the opportunity of a lifetime, spending the rest ot my lite domg what I love. I get sheer joy out ol the performances, l go to every performance here. I often go to both halls on the same day. Because the energy and exdtepient I get from an kinds of mu.sic is just exciting. With tbe IMrw Concert Hall co.., ODliDe ln 2005, what does tids do for the perfomdng arts center, u well as Southern CaWorniat When completed, we w1ll then have probably the finest group of balls and the finest performing arts center of anywhere in the country centered in one area - South Coast Repertory is expanding also. So, you add our four halls. There will be no place like this anywhere. You can come here and, essentially, there will be six halls running at once. Orange County will be one. of the most important cen- ters for the performing arts in the world. That ls very, very interesting. Second, it will enable us to do more of what people want to have. With a new hall. we can move sympho- ny ordlestras there. We can then do longer runs of Broadway here. And there's a tremendous demand from the public for Broadway that we can't fulfill because we have to do so much in our current hall. The opera, which is in our current hall, will have a chance to expand. It's a wonderful opera company. We're really fortunate. Pacific Symphony Orchestra. and Opera Pad.fie are excel- lent companies, but they're stopped right now because they can't play enough to expand. They grow. The people in this area grow. It's just a wonderful thing to do for Orange County. Now, wlD that make a dllference ln the types of acts you're able to drawl Yeah, we'll be able to compete with Los Angeles for the first time Cl Broadway show comes in. The problem we have now is we can only offer ohe week end Broad- way producers can go to L.A. for six to eight weeks. But this is a good market. Our current season can go two to three weeks a show. But we'll also have the time to do a four-, five-or six· week run. That will put us in a very good position with the Broadway producers. It means the symphony can expand What it offers. It can bring in guest artists. lbe· philharmonic society can bring in orchestras like the 6erlin. Everybody can bring in more. It's unbelievable for Orange County and for obviously those of us who work here. It'll be the best. What Is tbe most d•fllatlt part of getting the ball bulltt Raising the.money. 1be pedorming arts center is unique in this world in that we. have never ta.ken a cent of government money for anything, including construc- tion. Every other center does. So we have to raise every dime of it from the public, and we are in a recession and then have the problems from Sept 11. There's no doubt fund-ralSing is the most difficult part., but we're doing very well. We're almost halfway. There's a tremendous amount of inter· est. There's a lot of exote- ment about the hall. 1be realization that this is important for our country. perhaps now more than ever. When you think of it, what is it that is most dra- matically different from ow society than the society of those people that are attack· ing us? It's freedom of expression. And where is freedom of expression most or best exemplified? The arts. So, I trunk one of the very best ways to tell those people they aren't getting to us is by building arts institu- tions and having everyone attend. lbat really and truly is why this project is going to get built. It's more important than it was before Sept. 11. What's the best pa.rtf For me, it really is interest- ing. At the end, to be presi- dent of the best center in the country is fabulous. The sec- ond thing is the process of learning about acoustics. I'm so involved in the building of it that I've learned about acoustics. I've toured the world, going to great concert balls. For me, the reason I love the arts so much is the passion and the discovery. When I came be.re, I loved cert.a.in art Corms. but I've developed other art form loves now. 1b discover the sd~ce of acoustics -to go and hear halls In England, Switzerland and Vienna - what a great experience, astonishing. Jloger Kirwan. cba1r of the Center'• board of direc- ton, recently said lhat the Center bu surpused lb ftnandal bench••rks for tbe ftlaal year. Wbat does this mean eudly for the Ceaterl What I think he meant was the Center has finished in the black over its 15 years. Irs quite astonlshlng for a nonprofit. But there's a rea- son for that. I've been a.round a lot of nonprofits. Titis nonprofit board is the most prestigious m Orange County -it's d Who's Who. But they are au savvy busi- nesspeople. An arts mstitu- bon that isn't managed like a business will go out of busi- ness. So, it's no accident that we hit our goals and hrush ui the black. The board makes certain we do, and the staff manages it well. What it says to the world is you can invest in this orgaruzabon because we have a great 15- year track record That's what he meant. Earlier this year, you renewed your contract at the Center? What makes the Center so spedal to you? Well, I get to do every day what I love And I love the arts. We can't always put our emotions into words, and that's the beauty of all kinds of· music -it doesn't necessarily resonate at the verbal level. I listen to all types of music. Whatever the music fonn is, it's good. It's such an emotional trip for me. So that's it. So, No. 1, it's being able to hear and experience it every night. And second, it's bow much pleasJ!fe it brings people. I'm at every show, and I walk around and I talk to people in the audience. And I know what we're doing is bringing some joy to people's lives. That's perhaps more important than ever. The Thursday after Sept. 11, we had a show -Dave Brubeck -reedy and we thought ·Should we cancel ur And we said •No.· And we so1d every seat People wanted that music. Again, it reaf. firmed we play an itnportant role in the lives of people. lt enhances people's lives. What show are you look- ing forward to bringing to tbeCenterf All of them.

I'm a decent player, I think. And I learn and practice every day. It's going to be fun. I played in high school and college, but I didn't play for 40 years. I listened all that tune, though. I packed it up a year and a ball ago. I Just started playmg again the way I should. I started with scales, studying and practicing. I play every day. lt's J1 therapy.

I've had more people come up to me, my age, who've said that because of those stories. they've started to play again. And music JS such a gift.
