T rying to weave
through the byzantine
bureaucracy of com-
munity services can be
daunting for anyone. For
unmigrants who don't speak
English, it can be even more
intimidating.
In Costa Mesa, however,
there is a place for families to
tum in times of need.
Families Costa Mesa, estab-
lished in 1996, is a team of
community-based organiza-
tions that joined forces to serve
low-income families.
•w e give (families) the pow-
er so they learn what the sys-
tem is and do some hand-hold-
ing so they're strong enough to

said. •Ideally, our resource

out of busi ness.•

The organization provides
free on-site services such as
family support, counseling,
health education and a mentor
program at its Family Resource
Center. It also refers families to
medical and dental service,
emergency care and transition-
al housmg programs. Last year,
it served 1,376 families and
more than 5,000 clients, many
from Mexico and the Marshall
Islands.
It's the kind of organizabon
whose need is diminished by
its success, Albright said.

lllOTHER MOl.ISTATION
w11mm&ATED
Police are investigating allega·
tions that a 71 ·year·old Costa
Mesa man molested a 12·year·old
girl who reported she was
attacked by him March 16, when
she was selling candy door·to·
door.
Additional charges were filed
against Mesa Verde PUlllC resident James Harp· SAFm er on Tuesday after
officials learned of a
second alleged victim from the
same neighborhood. Harper is
scheduled to be arraigned on two
felony child molestation Friday.
The 12·year·old girl told police
she was selling candy on Red-
wood Avenue for a school fund·
raiser when she allegedly had the
encounter with Harper.
The second victim, an S·year·
old girl, said she was at Harper's
house playing with his grandchil·
dren in November when Harper
allegedly molested her, officials
said.
He is being held in Orange

$50,000. If convicted, Harper
could face up to 10 years in

A MESSY WEEK
OF SCHOOUNG
For the past week, studelhs in
the advanced culinary arts class at
Newport Harbor High School
have been up to their elbows in
barbecue sauce as EDUCATION part of a tund·rais·
er. The students
have been helping out in the
kitchen of Clayton Shurley's Real
BBQ in Newport Beach to raise
money for their upcoming tnp to
two culinary academies in North·
em California. The restaurant
offered to give 10% of all sales
made after 3 p.m. from Monday
through today to the program,
with the goal of raising more than
$1,000.
And 76 Governor's Scholars

TAKING A MEASURE
OF THE MWURI
If anybody thought Measure W
would settle the El Toro battle
once and for all, Monday's news of
a legal chal-El TORO lenge from pro·
airport groups
should vaporize that illusion.
A coalition of North County
cities -indudmg Costa Mesa -
voted to join the Airport Working
Group and other airport boosters
in a lawsuit filed Monday.
The suit accused Measure W of
violating state law and the federal
base reuse process. It also calls the
measure, which passed March 5
on a 58% margin, "vague and
d eceptive.•
Newport Beach decided to for·
go U1 challenge. Mayor Tod
Ridgeway also said the city would
halt spending to promote an El

A report produced in Janu-

million or more changing

Newport Beach's water supply is safer now, thanks to security measures put in place over the last six

A SIGI OF CRAIGE
A faction of Costa Mesa resi·
dents have long complained about
groups of men standing in front of
local businesses looking for work,
to which city officials have usually
responded, "There's not much we
can do.•
That changed last week when
the City Council formally
COSTA

approved a law that
allows police to arrest
anyone soliciting
work on private prop·
e rty. The new law gives business
owners the opportunity to post a
sign letting people know such·
solicitation is prohibited on the
premises, while at the same time
telling police it's OK to take action
on prlvate property.
Signs will be posted in English

Last week. council members
addressed recent problems with
cable giant AT&T Broadband and
agreed that a warning and a
promise to improve customer ser·
vice would suffice until more
information was gathered.
The City Council opted against
fining the cable company for its
p)'oven lack of customer service in
recent years and decided instead
to mandate monthly service meet·
ings, in which customers can come
to City Hall to receive on-the-spot
help.

The challenges of "being Costa Mesa~ first councilwoman
Young CIYng
DAILY PILOT
N orma Hertzog was told she
didn't have a chance when
she ran for Costa Mesa City
Council in 1974.
*I felt the city had bad city
looklit fathers from the very
beginning and I felt BA( it was time for them
to have a city moth-
er as well,• said
Hertzog, during a phone interview
from her Aubwu, Calif. home.
She won the election, becoming
the city's first councilwoman. She
was a little bit surprised, she
admits.
•woman mayor• doesn't raise eye-
brows anymore, but du.ring Hert-
iog's first term, one of her chal-
lenges was working wtth a council
ol four men who "were not over-
joyed to have a WQJJlan joining
them.•
One of her biggest accomplish-
ments during her time on the coun-
cil was chaiigtng the city voting
date. •u used to be that all cities were
required to have an electioQ. in
Mars:h or April,• Hertzog said.
"That was my chief accomplish-
ment. really -to have the state
law changed so that cities could
choose the time of year that they
could have their elections.•
Norma Hertzog
form.er Costa Mesa mayor Pet.er
Buffa,
Hertzog was warm and caring
when working with kids, said
Bulfa, who is still friends with the
Auburn resident. And as a politi-
cal leader, she was equally strong
and fair.
"She's very caring about what's
going on around her,• Buffa said.
Hertzog arrived in California in
1951. She moved from Canada,
where she was a teacher. to a job m
Pacific Palisades teaching children
of film stars, including those of
Bette Davis and Joan Crawford.
•All the big stars.• Hertzog saJd.
She moved to Costa Mesa in
1960 and got her American citizen-
ship after that.
She adds that since her election,
a woman bas been elected to the
council every term.
Councilwoman Ubby Cowan
said she thinks it's important for
women to be involved in city gov-
ernment.
•And I think one of the exciting
things abQut Costa Mesa is we
were on the forefront of electing
women into the local govern-
ments,• Cowan said.
Hertzog served a total of 12
years and nine mo_oths on Costa
Mesa's council. She moved to
Auburn m 1989.
Looking back on her political
role here, she sa.id, Hertzog figures part of her victo-
ry had something to do with the
Watergate scandal, which was
going on at the time.
"Incumbent was not a good
word and I think that people were
in the mood to maybe take a
chance and do something a little bit
different,• Hertzog, 13, said.
During her terms, the council
gave South Coast Repertory a large
grant, which increased the theater
arts appeal of Costa Mesa. The
leaders also saw the building of the
Co$ Mesa Community Theater
because the county back then said
they needed a performing arts cen-
ter, according to former mayor Bob
Wilson's book •From Goat Hill to
City of the Arts: The History of
Costa Mesa.•
Hertzog was also elected to the
League of California Cities' board
of directors in the '70s, for which
she was Orange County's league
president, says Wilson's book.
·1 got it origmally so that I could
vote for N1.Xon and work on his
campaign,· she said.
Hertzog said the most rewarding
part about bemg Costa Mesa's first
counalwoman and female mayor
was opening the doors.

noticeable effect on her husband.

The two have also taken parenting

Roberto Jr., 9, and his three younger sib-

Daniel, 6.
Rodriguez said she has learned how to
take better care of her children and to be
a better mother and wife.
Albright said she was impressed that

has heard many or the topics already. The

"They get good grades in school, so it
helps them. especially their progress in

The younger Roberto and bis siblings
look forward to the mentor program on
Wednesday afternoons. The program
indudes reading and writing, science,
career exploration and field trips to local
attractions, such as Disneyland.
One of the most significant changes in
the family is Cecilia Rodriguez's efforts at
becoming ~ advocate in her community,
Albright said. She was recently elected
president of the pa.rent advisory commit-
tee that provides input into the Family
Resource Center. In fact, she has gotten so much out of
the class that she is taking measures to
ensure other women in her neighborhood
receive the information.
Recently Roberto Jr. learned about the
life cycle of a frog and had the chance to
dissect one.

faceless "whisper camM-ign·
last month that John Nash,
the super-smart mathemati-
cian who owns the said beau-
tiful mind, was a promiscuous
bisexual and an anti-Semite.
The idea is that Academy vot-
ers will be squeamish about
honoring an ode to someone
who was much darker in real
life than the mentally ill but
good-hearted John Nash por-
trayed m the film. And here
you thought pol.Jtics was a
nasty game.
Int~ ploy, but like

you have it.

J ack Factor hangs out at the solari-
um of the Newport Beach Plaza
retirement home every Saturday
and "bothers" his female company.
He likes to listen to the one-liners that
bounce every which way across the
room.
He likes to watch a ball of lime yam
grow into a loosely crocheted patch and
eventually a plush blanket. .
He loves knowing that after the blan-
kets and lap robes are done, adults in
hospice care and children in cancer
wards will use them to keep warm.
All of this means something to the 87-
year-old Factor, who is usually the only
male in the room, because his wife ·
Frances was a Happy Hooker before she
passed away five months ago.
And when you're a Happy Hooke.r,
you're anything but the typical elderly
woman who likes to do typically-senior
things like knit or crochet.
Instead, you're as sharp as the nee-
dles you work with and as warm as the
blankets that you make.
You're entertaming enough to call
yourself a Hooker and quirky enough to
make the husband of a late member
want to stay around.

Before "Riverdance" came
along in 1995, Irish dancing
was fairly unknown to the
masses. Opening to unani-
mous acclaim at Dublin, Ire-
land's Port Theatre, the show
has since become part of our
cultural lexicon, inspiring
other shows -•Lord of the

EDITORIALS
Tnne for others to
take up the fight
N ewport Beach took the
surprising -but we
believe correct -step
last week of getting
out of the El Toro air-
port fight. By deciding against
joining a lawsuit to have the
recently-approved Measure W
overturned, city leaders can now
focus all of their attention, acu-
men and activity on what is really
important for the city's residents:
keeping John Wayne from
expanding.
El Toro was a viable alterna-
tive, and while· it made sense for
Newport Beach to pursue it as a
way to ensure Jotµi Wayne
remains a regional-S1Zed airport,
the city suffered a public relations
black eye as South County cities
went out of their way to paint
Newport residents in a bad light.
Now, however, the El Toro
alternative is nearly. tf not entire-
ly, gone with the passage of Mea-
sure W. which rezones the base
for use as a park. It has also been
crippled by the Navy's announce-
ment that 1t will begin selling the
base off by parcels; and with
Fullerton City Councilman Chris
Norby's defeat of county Supervi-
sor Cynthia Coad, which gives
the board an anti-airport majority
starting next year.
Newport Beach has bigger
concerns now. City leaders need
to make sure John Wayne doesn't
physically expand and that any
increase in flights or passengers
is reasonable and done with resi-
dents' best irlterests in mind.
That fact hasn't changed. and
it won't change. But how the city
will ensure this is now drastically
different
No longer can the connection
between John Wayne's possible
growth and the construction of an
airport at El Toro be the linchpin
in the argument. John Wayne's
future is now Dying solo, and city
leaders have rightly seen that.
No longer can Newport Beach
afford to be an isolated fig hter in
the John Wayne or El Toro fights.
Losirlg the black eye the city
gained with all the years of bick-
ering and fighting over El Toro
will not be an easy thing to do.
But now, by getting out of the El
Toro fight, the city can perhaps
shed that image and get South
County involved in limiting the
growth of John Wayne. If voters
there don't want an international
airport in Orange County, they
soould be held to that belief.
Even better, Newport Beach
leaders can now let those irl the
North County take up the
remainder of the El Torb fight.
While we have to wonder why
it took so long, a number of North
and Central County cities, includ-
ing Costa Mesa, have now awak-
ened after Measure W's passage
and joirled the lawsuit to overturn
it.
Unfortunately, these cities
were far from the forefront of the
El Toro battle over the past years
-which is why Newport Beach
has had to spend more than $10
million and why it has a reputa-
tion to live down.
These cities now owe Newport
Beach a debt of gratitude for car-
rying the mantle so long. ln turn,
the leader of those towns shO'U.ld
be among those looking for limits
to John Wayne, or other airport
alternatives.
Newport Beach has done and
spent enough.
District loses a Fine man
in more than name
I t's a Firle day for Riverside
schools. A Mike Fine day to
be exact.
Fine, the Newport-Mesa
Unified School District financial
wizard, has accepted a Job in his
lnland Valley hometown that will
take him away from the JOb he's
done here since 1992.
,For Newport-Mesa that trans-
lates to not-so-fine news as resi-
dents, parents, teachers and stu-
dents have much thanks to dish
out lo this able admirustrator.
Fine arrived at the district with
the title of budget analyst and
auditor just as the devastation of
Stephen Wagner's embezzlement
schemes were coming to light.
Eventually, the tally from the
late business director's thievery
would climb to upward of $8 mil·
lion.
"I had to rebuild lA1 the finan-
cial systems, had to re-budget the
district,• Fine told our reporter. "I
never looked back.•
Good thing, because right
around the comer was the 1994
county bankruptcy and even
more millions lost.
But Fine rebounded yet again,
climbing the admmistrative ranks
to become chief financial officer
and getting the district finances
back in the black, all the while
earning a widespread reputation
as one of the top business minds
irl public education.
His crowning achievement
came two years ago when the
district was able to secure a $110-
million bond and an additional
$63 million in anticipated state
matching funds to help modern-
ize and rebuild the district's aging
campuses.
That enormous projeCt is now
underway and thanks to Firle's
planning will run smoothly, by bis
own admission. regardless if he's
here or not.
Still, w~ th.ipk that we speak
for many when we say we wtsh it
was the former. But we under-
stand his desire to get closer to
home and we wish him well in all
bis future endeavors. His shoes
will truly be bard to fill.

It's wonderful to learn Measure Ws real outcome
J oe Bell bad it right (The Bell
Curve, "The game's not over
on.El Toro,• March 14). Now
I think Rep. Chris Cox needs to
answer the old Watergate ques-
tion: "What did be know and
when did be know it?"
I doubt many people, even the
most gullible in Irvine and South
County, actually believed that we
were ever actually going to have
a "Great Park." But. the cynicism
represented by Cox's announce-
ment the day after the Measure
W vote that the Navy would sell
the base to the highest bidder is
remarkable, even for Orange
County.
As Bell poirlted out, the evi·
dance seems clear that Cox had
been working on a plan all dur-
ing the Measure W process. As a
practical mattet~t plan to sell
to the highest bidd can only
lead to Irvine's exation of the
property, subsequent rezonipg
and residential and commercial
development by all the major
developers who, as the Daily
Pilot pointed out, are llnlng up to

SOUNDING BOARD
While the city of Irvine will
undoubtedly protest Chat they
will develop the park anyway, I
somehow doubt that there will be
a lot of bidders who will want to
buy land to build a park, and
even if there were I can just see ·
them outbidding the Irvine Co.
It's interesting to figure out the
possibilities: The base itself and
the buffer zone are about 17 ,000
acres, I believe. Let's assume
20% was left as open space or for
commercial development. If the
remainder was split between sin-
gle-family and multifamily uses,
with an average density of seven •
homes or 20 apartment units per
acre, and 3.5people1n each
house and two people 1n each
apartment, we would end up
with more than 438,000 new
Orange Countlans.

The art of putting it together
Acting director and chief curator Elizabeth Armstrong speaks on what excites her about Orange County Museum of Art
E lizabeth Annstrong could
not have predicted the
path her We has taken
since she joined the
Orange County Museum of Art
last Apnl as chief curator and
d eputy director. Armstrong. who
served as seruor curator at the
Museum of Contemporary Arts in
San Diego before coming lo New-
port Beach, took over dS acting
director last year when executive
director Naomi Vme look a med-
ical leave of absence. Since Vin<>'s
death from cancer in December.
Armstrong has been the museum's
leader, a position she will continue
to hold until the museum's board is
finished with its director search.
In the past 11 months, Ann-
strong has reinstalled the perma-
nenl collection, mixing the works
by theme rather than l.lme frame.
The first major temporary exhibi-
lion under her leadership -the>
California B1enrudl, put together
with fellow curator lrene Hoffmdn
-will go up in June.
Armstrong took a moment out
of her busy schedule to speak Wlth
Features Editor Jennifer K Mahal
about her background. the muse-
um and her wishes for its future.
How did you get involved In the
arts1
I've always been interested in art.
For a long time, I thought I was
artist. I made a Jot of art and it was
probably only in college where I
started making the transition from
thinking of myself as a Visual artist to
being more interested m history and
culture and the way in which you
could, through a.rt. understand and
contribute to those fields.
By the time 1 got out or college, l
knew I wanted to be a curator. I
loved museums and I loved art and it
seemed like a place where you could
bring your interest in history and cul-
tuie to bear on contemp~>rary art. I
decided that was my career goal and
8.fter a few years, and gomg back to
graduate schOQl, 1 started working m museums.

internships were when I was dt
Berkeley, al the uruvers1ty, I worked
at San Franasco MOMA (Museum
of Modem Art) and I also ctid a show
at the Uruvers1ty Art Museum in
Berkeley. So I had d couple of good
JObs, pdrt time, while I was in gradu-
ate school. And then my first full
time musewn JOb was at the Walker
Arts Center in Mmneapolis.
What collection or show have
you curated that you are the most
proud on
You know, I feel that way about
my most recent shows always, but if I
had to step back, probably the show
most pE'ople still associate me with is
a sho...., called "ln the Splfll of
Fluxus " It WdS the first museum
extubiuon to document this great
international movement of Fluxus
from the 1960s to the present. And 1t
was unportant because 1t was really
a huge contribution to the scholar-
ship on ttus subject But also because
the Fluxus artist philosophy is so
mtegral to my mterest mart that I
will forever be connected Wlth
Fluxus, not JUSt in people's rrunds,
but in my heart.
• What ls Auxusf
Fluxus is an altitude Fluxus 1s
such a product of the 1960s m
terms of it bemg a really creative,
outside-the-box period where, I
think, most or many creative peo-
pie were trying to rethink funda-
mental notions about culture, about
art, dbout the world we live in -
pohllcs, social values. And it is one
of the few art movements I can
think of that's a flan-movement,
that bnngs together people from all
fields and internationally.
So, 1t really started as a series of
festivals talang place all over the
world -Germany, Japan, the United
States, Eastern Europe -in the ear-
ly-to mid-'60s, and it brought
together musicians, writers, saen-
lists. I mean it was just absolutely
phenomenal. The names, moo the
names are not particularly well
known, but the best known names
are Nam June Palk, who of course
went on to become the father of
video art1 Yoko Ono, who has just
bad a major retrospective and her
connectton Wlth Fluxus is well docu-
mented in that book. It really
inspired her social stance throughout
her life. lt was just an incredible cat-
alyst for free thinkers a.nd new
thinkers. .

What originally attracted you to
the job of chief curator and deputy
director at the Orange County
Museum of Art?
The interest here is multiple. This
1s a museum thdl IS in transition. It's
looking forward to a growth period
dlld at the same time, I think,
relhrnkrng its unage. It's also in a
commuruty that is such fertile ground
for a maJor cultural insbtution.
I've had the luxury of worlung at
one of the best endowed museums m
the country and I've worked at
smciller museums .. and this was an
opportunity to really be integral to
shaping a new museum and helping
1l grow. So It's really that interest m
being involved iii a really fundamen-
tat way in a museum that is lookrng
at change. And, as it happens,
almost au of us in the museum field
wdnt to relh.ink the role of a museum
in d commuruty and the fact that tlus
museum is already rethmking. the
tinung is good too
Since you started here, many
thtngs have changed, leaving you in
the acttng director poslUon. How
has that change been for you?
Well, I came in as cluef curator
and deputy dlrector of art. And the
deputy director of art lltle signified
an mvolvement on the adnurustrabve
side of the museum and really m the
insbtubonal core.
I think for anybody it's a stretch to
take on when you already have a full,
full, full tune job, to take on another
job. but I felt that it was important for
the i.nsbtubon at this moment to hdve
an acting director who was here at
the museum already.
And it's been fascinating. I mean I
wanted to get really involved in,msb-
tutional ISSUes, but it's just happened
a lot faster. The education has hap-
pened a lot faster than it might have
otherwise, because I've really had to
be involved in every single aspect of
the museum and every comer of its
facility. It's been tremendously stretch-
ing, but really really fascinating.
Do you foresee youneU becom-
Ing uecuUve dlredorl
No, no. Look, I am really a cura-
tor. It's really what l Jove to do. We're
actively involved iri a director search.
A search takes a lon~ tune. The
average i.s eight to 1 months \hese

a new buildlilg, which is still off in

More practical and m unmectiate

it has. It has the history from Newport

the Laguna tractition of. espeoally
historical Califomi~llection and
shows. And I love t we can put 11
all together under one roof. Sol am
really exoted about the programs

reinstaJJed the permanE'nt collect1on, I
really lned to suggest those connff-

from different penods and cWferent
media and the way in which they
inform each other. J love that. I think
it makes the work from all periods
more interesting. It's just great to bf>
at a museum that has a collection
with that land of breadth.
What ls the best part of your job?
Probably the access I have to art
and artists. Even though a large part
of my JOb takes place in my office

incredible people who make them

NORTH LIDO CHAN·
NEL -The rumblings of
what proves to be a
special season for the
Orange Coast College
men's crew program
began Saturday in the Pirates' first
regatta of the season.
The Pirates' men's varsity eight
grabbed first place in a four-boat race
(UCLA, San Diego State and University
of San Diego) with a 6:15.S in the
standard 2,000 meters. Rowing in Rob
Jordan, the Pirates led from start to
finish and drew loud cheers from a fair·
sized crowd at the OCC boathouse
alongside the North Lido Channel.
OCC's boat, Rob Jordan, is named
after the late and former captain of the
OCC crew in 1989·89. Jordan, who was
a successful broker for Cantor
Fitzgerald on the 104th floor of the
World Trade Center, ctied in the Sept. 11
attacks.
"This win was dedicated to him,·
OCC coxswain Sierra Caldwell said.
"We knew we were going to win. We
tried not be overconfident, but we were
excited."
Coast crew was not only excited for
Saturday's race, but also for the entire
season. Two weeks ago, OCC found
its turning point of the season, which
has resulted in extreme optimism. In
rowing, known to them as "the ultimate
team sport,· the Pirates have created a
strong unified fro nt, which should cany
them to success.
"I think we knew we had something
about two weeks ago and the boat
really began to gel,• OCC Coach Dave
Grant said. "I think this is a very, very

\'l '. ·\(. E
good eight; a very exciting eight. They
love to rise to the occasion. They're
having fun with it. They're working
very hard and I think they sense they've
got something good here (this season)."
Winning Saturday's regatta or
finishing in the top three at any other
regatta comes with unique satisfaction,
even celebration, for the Pirates. OCC
is the only community college with a
crew program in the nation. So the
Pirates compete against four-year uni·
versities, which have eights consisting
of rowers who have worked with one
another, in most cases, longer than occ.
There was plenty of reason to
celebrate Saturday. Coast won all four
races, including the junior varsity, first
novice and second novice competitions.
This season, the Pirates are also
motivated by the memory of Brian
Sweet, who died after collapsing during
a workout Aug. 16 at OCC's LeBard
Stadium. Grant said Sweet would have
been on varsity Uus season.
Chris Pope, who found Sweet after
he collapsed, as the two were training
together running the stadium steps,
helped the Pirates to their win Saturday.
Also included in Rob Jordan were Stuart
Blair, Matt Hietbrink, Gints Salaks,
Brian Scheele, Jesse Waldowsk.i, Alan
Twigg and Mike Krueger.

in the Berg Cup, named after Richard
Berg, a crucial financial supporter oI the
OCC women's crew program.
Saturday also marked the first time
the Pirates have featured a full boat of
second-year rowers. That experience
made a difference when OCC pulled
away from a battle for second place
against UCLA. The University of San •

halfway mark and won tbf.! 2000-meter
race, which also included UC Irvine,
Long Beach State and Chapman.

came in second, 7:14.72 in the varsity
