Costa Mesa City Council to for-
mally change the dty's name to

Janice Davidson, chairwoman
of the Citizens for the Improve-

ment of Costa Mesa,
said the city needs to
regain its coutal
identify by adding
the suffix. The addition will let
people know the dty is in essence
a bead\ town, although it bas no
oceanfront property, she said.
Mayor Linda Dixon said the
dty bas a fine name and does not
expect support for the change.
Bargain bunters will lose a day
of shopping because Costa Mesa·
officials discovered the Orange
Coast College swap meet has
been violating its agreement with
the city.
In May, the weekend campus
swap meet will scale back to Sun-
days only with about 275 vendors,
as agreed upon when initially
approved in 1984. Councilwoman
Ubby Cowan asked the city to
study the swap meet in November
after she noticed an increase in
traffic on Fairview Road. The
study found the swap meet to be
operab.ng at twice its allowed size.

Remembering the Rendezvous Ballroom in Newporl Beach
rr be Rendezvous Ball-
room helped brtng an
era of music and musi-
cal legends to Newport
Beach. . lQOkl~J It was how
BACK ~e::n~ cozied up to
thedty, how
stars like Stan K~ton and
Nat King Cole became acces-
sible to excited girls 1n poodle
skirts and guys with flat tops.
The ballroom burned down
35 yeara ago, succumbing to
the second fire to eat up its
insides, but locals today still
remember its presence on the Balboa Peninsula.
. The ballroom was built in
1928 by two developers
named Hany Tudor and Ray
Burhngame in the 600 block
of East Ocean Front. The cost
back then was $200,000,
according to James Felton's
•Newport Beach. The First
Centwy. 1888-1968.•.
lbe Balboa PaviliOn was
across from the Rendezvous •
and. until then, the only oOol
place to groove and be 9eell.
There was competition at first
between the two venues
when it came to celebrities
pedonning and dtawtng
crowds. But the Rendezvous
eventually won, becoming the
more popular place for big
bands. .
Through the '30s and '40s,
especially during Balboa's
annual Bal Week '(the et{Uiva-
lent of today's Spring Break),
the Rendezvous attracted
generations of trendy teens
who were into partying and
dancing to the music of John-
ny Mercer, Les Brown. Benny
Goodman and other big-time
musicums.
But in 1935, just seven
years afte! it was built. the
bollrooni burned down
because of what offida1s tbeil
traced to a dgBiette thlit had-
n't been put out The blaze
didn't deter the fun though as
builders re-created the struc-
twe and the surfer generation
crowded in after the Blg Band
era passed.
BW Grundy, a longtime
Newport Beach resident, used
to be a bouncer and ticket
taker there in the second half
of the 1930s.
•All the local kids did
that,• he said.
Grundy remembers in-
house musicians who played
at the ballroom year-round.
The roster included Bob Cros-
by, brother to Bing Crosby,
and Claude Thornhill.
•we had a lot of tenific
musidans'lhat were here," he
said. •And then we had all
the big ones that would come
by on weekends such as
Glenn Miller and people like that..
The place was a block-
long, he added, and bad hard-
wood floors that made it great
to dance.
"It required everyone to
have a coat and tie, it was
quite a big deal," Grundy
said.
But in 1966, another fire
consumed the Rende-zvous
and eventually caused every·
thing to cave in. Ttie ballroom
was never rebuilt.
According to Felton•s book.
the last band to have played
there that Saturday was a
group called The Cindermen.

There is Cardiff-by-the-sea, of

Pacific coastline than us.
The~e is a place called Sid-

with full service marinas with-

you got marinas, you got
boats. U you got boats, you got

What about Culloden-by-

hideaway in Jamaica with
"white sand beach and pris-

but it doesn't matter how pris-

There are hundreds more,

or sand or whatever will do -
but there has to be some sea
somewhere.
Second problem. People
don't like long names and
they won't use long names.
They just won't. Example. You

Clint Eastwood lives that's
next door to Monterey and
sounds like a candy? Of
course you do. Carmel.

who calls it Carmel-by-the-

Everyone an this planet
calls it Carmel. Period. No
"by-the-sea." No nothing.
Just Carmel. as in "car" then
"mel. • Why? Because people
won't use long names, that's
why. Never have, never will.
Last and it could be least,
who knows, there are people
called "marketing experts."
Marketing experts are deep
thinkers who are paid to think
deep thoughts about market-
ing. One of the things market-
ing people think about is
something called "branding.•
They think about it a lot.
Branding is not what
makes a cow say, "Owl What
the heck was that?" Branding
is the process of making sure

More than money
The staff at Fidelity Federal does more than banking for Nanci Kapp; they are planning
to throw the disabled Costa Mesa resident a fund-raiser n ext weekend
Young at.ng
DAILY PILOT
Nanci Kapp used to breeze
through the doors or Fidelity
Federal Bank in Newport
Beach and make an irnpres·
sion while doing something as mun-
dane as depositing a check.
When she looked fancy, her
tellers would ask where she was
coming from. The answer usually
involved some sort of fund-raiser
and one of her many causes.
For about eight years, the bank
staff got to learn that Kapp was a
sprightly person -someone who
was active with arts organizations,
someone who dated, someone who
roller-bladed, goUed, paddled her
kayak and danced all in the same
weekend
But since Kapp suffered a back
injury three years ago and devel·
oped a disabling disease called
reflex sympathetic dystrophy, the
bank sees less of the Costa Mesa
resident
Knowing she needs more than
just well wishes, the staff has paired
with Kapp's dose friend Lynne
Spencer to throw her a fund·raiser in
their own lobby on April 7.
•How many banks go to bat for

psychologist. The incurable disease
affects 7 million Americans and can
cause permanent deformities and
chronic pain if untreated.
Today, Kapp can't sit, stand, walk
or even sleep for more than 10 min·
utes sometimes because the pain
resembles the sensation of being
burned alive or stabbed, she said.
After three back surgeries and 13
major procedures, the self-pro-
claimed fonner •overachiever• who

. EDITORIALS
Stereotypirig
won't reduce
criine figfu-es
I t would take a lot of ima¢na-
tion, and frankly a lot of dis-
honesty, to label Costa Mesa
45 a aune-ridden city.
But that of course ts w hat
some, who can only be called
opportunists, will be trying to do
with the latest aime statistics
released from the state attorney
general's .office.
The statistics showed a massive
spike in robberies in 2001 and
much smaller increases in burglar-
ies, thefts, assaults and rape. ·
Make no mistake, any rise in
crirne should be alanning. And
Costa Mesa Councilman Gary
Monahan got it right when he said
the cound.l is wasting too much
time on trivial issues and not
enough time on making sure it's
doing everything in its power to
protect its residents.
Indeed, Costa Mesa police offi-
cers have responded to the spikes
in crime and report that the crime
figures for 2002 show the rob-
beries have already tapered off.
Also, an earlier jump the year
before m car thefts has been
reversed, so much so that the city
saw a downward trend m that cat-
egory in 2001.
All thanks to the efforts of the
Police Department to step up
enforcement. Costa Mesa contin-
ues to be high on the list of the
safest cities in the nation with
100,000 or more population.
Still, fingers are being pointed
since this latest round of mrne
stats and Cound.lman Chris Steel
and his supporters are pointing
them m the general direction of
one of their favorite targets, the
city-sponsored Job Center.
We remind these follcs that
crime existed in Costa Mesa long
before the Job Center existed and
if the Job Center goes away today,
it will exist long after tha t.
The two have little to do with
each other and using that example
only fans the flames of anger
toward the mostly Latino men
who Une up dally looking for work
at that site, anger that is already
simmering dangerously near the
surface of raging City Hall
debates.
Do people who use the Job
Center commit crirnes? Perhaps.
But crime is not, nor has it ever
been, exdus1ve to one economic
dass of people.
Much is being made of Costa
Mesa's desire to change its image
and be more like its more afOuent
neighbor Newport Beach (see the
Last Word below).
Newport Beach, of course. is
not without cnme either. In fact,
Newport Beach often deals with
white collar crime that involves
fraud and embezzlements that
reach the millions of dollars.
All without the help of a job
center to attract such white collar
thieves.
So let's stick to finding innova-
tive ways to help improve the
safety and well being of all resi-
dents through community policing
and maybe more resources direct-
ed toward crune prevention and
enforcement.
Most of all, quit the stereotypi-
cal finger pointing that doesn't
improve anything.
Newport's finest live
up to their image
T he theme of this month's
Newport Beach Police
Appreciation Breakfast
was hard to miss: It's a
team effort.
As the winners came forward,
at some point they either thanked
their co-workers or straight-out
said that others were more
deserving of the award they were
receiving.
This buthole nature of the
city's best officei.;, civilian work-
ers and volunteers showcases
why it must be difficult to narrow
down the best of what we all
know to be an outstanding group
of public servants.
But it bears and d eserves
repeating. Newport Beach resi-
dents are uncommonly fortunate
to have the quality of people
serving them in the Police
Department.
In the past year alone, our offi-
cers helped track down a man
suspected in su murders and
high-profile jewelry store rob-
beries, diffused a dangerous situ-
ation involving a man with a gun
and kept the city among the
country's safest.
They do so through long, ha.rd
hours of work -work that also
affects their families, who are
often left alone and always made
to wonder if the worst, m a pro-
fession where the worst is trµly
meaningful, could possibly hap-
pen today.
They do so by being at the
fdrefront of crime-fighting tech-
niques and technology.
They do so with courage, care
and compassion.
They have earned our thanks.

While my guitar gently wept
W hen I first started working
at the Daily Pilot as an
education reporter, I used
to take my guitar to work. I would
play during breaks. It was a great
way to relieve deadline stress.
But one day, the guitar was
missing. There was a lot of new
construction going on in the build-
ing, and the guitar disappeared.
A few months afterward. when
I decided to ~ve the Daily Pilot
to work for a ministry in the Holy
Land, my Daily Pilot friends
bought me a new guitar as a
going..away gift. It was an answer
to a prayer.
As soon as I got here, I started
playing regularly at church and
home group meetings. I learned
lots of church songs in Arabic and
was able to lead worship in both
languages at once.
It wasn't long before I found an
inexpensive Israeli music producer
In Jerusalem with whom I started
recording some original music. I
took students from the Jerusalem
School. where I used to w ork, to
b1s studio and recorded my first
CD "3:17," a reference to John
3:17. It was the musical equivalent
of a family home movie -ewful,
but lots of fun to make.

groups of dlildren backing me up
in Jerusalem, Ramallah, Nablus
and Jordan. ln Gaza, where I live
now, it was so 'well-received, I
sang it with a group of kids on
television in front of a huge live
audience.
The guitar has also been like a
passport. Many times, while
approaching an Israeli checkpoint
with the guitar, I've been asked to
play •ttotel California,• which is
popular with tho soldiers.
One Israeli soldier at the
entrance to Gaza, Erez, actually
jammed on the guitar a little the
tint time I came to Gaza. Ever
iince then, I never had trouble at
the Gaza border.

called me over. They se4l'dled me
thoroughly and made me sit on a

pulled up. The back doors opened
and a yellow, six-wheeled robo-

I was unable to see what was

Experiencing new lives through ·Easter
The Rev. George Crisp discusses the Christian holiday and how it can be applied year-round
T oday is Easter, which
commemorates the day
Christians believe Jesus
Christ was resurrected
from the dead after being crucified
on the cross. However, Easter can
exist throughout everyone's lives,
says the Rev. George Crisp of
Christ Church by the Sea on
Balboa Peninsula.
On Thursday, Crisp, who leads
his United Methodist congregation,
sat down with Dally Pilot City
Editor James Meler to discuss how
important Easter is to Christians.
What should Easter mean lo
Christians?
First and foremost, I think Easter
should mean new l.if e. God gives us
new life through the resurrection of
Jesus Christ from the dead. It's an
event that is joyous and exciting. It's
a prorruse fulfilled that God promises
us new We in Christ, and this is how
It IS fulfilled.
It is the major Christian festival as
well. I had one professor who used
to say the church year should be
geared around Easter, and we don't
often do that. We gear it more
around Advent, before Christmas,
techrucally. But he said it should
start Wlth Easter, and I have to agree
with that.
Does the holiday take on
extra meaning this year In light of
Sepl 111
I think there is extra meaning in
light of Sept. 11 because that is such
a day of tragedy and such a day of
Joss, such a day of darkness in peo-
ple's lives, in our nation's history,
that Easter has the significance of
saying death is not the final answer.
Tragedy 1s not where God wants
things to end. God wants there to be
new hope, new life, a renewed
sense of llvmg that comes out of the
tragecties, darkness, sins of our llves.
How important of a holiday Js It,
wouJd you say?
Personally, I think II IS the major
holiday for Christians. It is what
defines us as Christians. IL IS the sto-
ry by which we know that we are
ultimately loved by God and are giv-
en every opportunity to live m that
love
How does Easter differ ln the
United Methodist Church from oth-
er ChrlsUan churches?
I think ID the United Methodist
tradition, we tend to focus more on
the Scripture and the proclaiming of
the word. And so there is more of a
focus on telling the story from a
Scriptural point of view. But that
doesn't mean that is not also told
with a sense of how it's contempo-
nzed, how we have a sense of Easter
m the year 2002.
Other traditions may focus more
on the celebration of Eucharist at the
table, the communion. And while
we have that as a sacrament, and it's
something we can consider extreme-
ly important, it's not in the tradition
as strong as the proclamation of the
word. And that proclamabon hap-
pens through preaching, through the
reading of the Scrtpture, through the
choir, through the congregation.
It is also a time in many Christian
tradltions where new believers are
baptized. And we'll be celebrating
baptisms al our 10 a.m . service here
(today). There are four children that
will be baptized that morning.
When children are baptized, we are
also saying they are being included
in the family of God. So it's very
important.
In ancient church tradition, bap·
tism was a primary focus for Easter.
Those who have been studying the
faith for one to three years were
baptized on Easter and then were
allowed to have communion for the
first time. That's not the case today,
but that was the ancient church
Today, I'd assume bapttsm can
occur any time of year.
Baptism can occur any time
throughout the year, but my pracbce
is to offer it at special holiday times,
not just at Easter. but at Pentecost
and the Sunday where we celebrate
the baptism of Jesus, other liturgical
times throughout the year when
baptism is highlighted in.Scripture.
But, like you sdJd, 1t Cdn occur any
time or the year.
Do any of the tradlUons differ at
all?
I'd say there 1s a breadth of expe-
nence m the Methochst Church.
There are some very highly liturg1-
cal. highly geared toward the pomp
and cuCUir1Slances or celebrating the
Chnsban faith, and there are others
who are on the other end of the
scale who are very much basic and
very simpllstJc m the way they
approach thmgs.
We often use the terms •tugh
church" and "low church." And I
don't mean to use those as derogato-
ry terms, but more as descripbve
kinds of things. Also, it varies Wlthin
the Methodist Church in terms of
how liberal versus conservative a
particular congregation may be This
congregation is pretty much square-
ly middle of the road It's very much
a blend of all of those things
In terms of contemporary versus
traditional, which is another sort of
dividing line for Chrisbans, we are
again a very much blended kind of
church, where we have some tracti-
tional elements and some very con-
temporary parts.
All of that 1s a part of how Easter
is celebrated rn different Methodist
churches.
Would you say your church ls
relaUvely typical of other Methodist
churchesJ
I think we are very typical of the
mainstream United Methodist tradi-
tion. I don't even know how to
quantify how many very conserva-
tive churches there are out there.
They just exist. I do know that. But I
don't think they're as representative
as this congregation is of main-
stream United Methodist ttadltion.
Tell me a little about the Easter
~ service you hold oo the
beach every year.
This is our 12th annual Easter
I sunrise service on the beach di 14th
Street. It was started when d couple
of laypersons came to the pdstor
who was here at the tune dnd said,
·we ought to use our location and
do sometlung specidl uttlmng the
beach.· So that's how 1t got started,
and it's been earned on ever since
then.
We see 1t dS a commuruty event
We certamly want the commuruty to
attend and we hope commuruty
members do attend. In the ldst few
years, we've had up to 400, 500 peo-
ple come dt a given time. Leist year.
we had very good press coverdge
from the Daily Pilot.
l thlnk it's a maJor event for the
community, and it's m a wonderful
setting. We all appreoate being Ul a
church setting. It's hke taking the
church to the people. We're happy
to do that. It's a wonderful process
We have a great community that's
working Uus year to develop that
service, everything from putbng
together volunteers to do ushenng
dlld ail of the other thmgs.
And we've enjoyed it -the yectn,
when it's been dark when we start-
ed, but the sun comes up whlle
we're smgmg. One year, we hdd
dolphins hopping by. One year, a
aty trash truck came by and dJs-
turbed the whole event. And I used
that as a way of saymg, "That's God
taking the garbage out of our llves •
It made for a great metaphor I was-
n't happy Wlth the oty about that
So you'd prefer the dolphins?
I'd prefer the dolphins
On another subject. you were
one of 22 Cbrlsttans with the West-
ern JurtsdJctton Korean Mission
Tour who vtstted South Korea to get
acquainted with foreign Methodist
churches. Tell me a UWe about that
trip.
It was a tremendous journey, a
lot of fun, but also a great learning
experience for me. I got to experi-
ence preaching in a sanctuary that
would bold several thousand people.
I think there were about a thousand
people that morning, so that was
exciting By contrast, I also preached
for a group of six people four days
later at a small country church
It was also a good opportunity
to see how the Methodist Church
is functioning in Korea. It is a tittle
more conservauve than Amencan
Christianity. I don't say that as a
judgmental kind of thing. It's
GREG FRY I DAILY PILOT
much more descnpt1ve ot how
they function
Part of the conservausm I see
there relates to the fact thdt they pn-
manly relate to mdle clergy. In the
Uruted Methodist lrad1Uon, we have
female clergy Pdrt of the unpact of
our tnp was that we had d woman
bishop, d womdn layledder, a
womdn pastor dnd a woman distnct
supenntendent. We had all these
women m leadership who gave
input in vanous pldces to show how
women can be in leadership in the
church I th.ink doors are opening
there, but it's i.low
I lhmk it wds a tremendous tnp
all the way around. I also had the
pnv1Jege of seeing some folks I went
to seminary with -KoredO pastors
who came to Cldremont !School of
Theology!. served maybe a little
while m churches ID Southern Cali-
forrud and then went back to Korea
for their miru-;tries
Any Unal thougbtsl
Easter IS not a htstoncal event for
us as Chnstidns. It is something that
matter.. to us each and every day.
Easter happens. I ttunk, every tune
someone has a new sense of life, a
new ser1Se of opportunity, a new
breath of fresh air. a second chance.
Easter happens in people's lives.
When a woman leaves an abusive
husband m order to find new life in
the place of safety and peace and
help. Easter happens when a loved
one d1es and the family can recog-
nize they've been released from
thel! pam and suffering And any
ume pam and sufferll}g are
addressed Wlth Jove and compas-
sion, I think Easter happens.
I thlnk we're always pointing
back to the fact we're an Easter peo-
ple -that we address different
aspects of what lt means for God to
love us, mdudmq the cross, the story
of the resurrectlon.
I lhlnk I'd also say Easter is, for
me, a matter of discovering bow
much God loves us. So any time
somebody has that sense of God's
love in their life for the first time or
in a new way, then Easter has hap.
pened again. And certainly at
Christmastime, and I know this
sounds odd, we're talking about the
savior who was born to giVe Q.is We
for our ake, which is what be does
in the story of Easter. There is a ron-
necbon There's always a cross .in
the cradle, and there's always a cra-
dle in the cross.

spring break on a bot streak.
"We've got a team that can
rock and roll this year,• CdM
Coach Mike Starkweather said.
The Sea Kings (7-2-1, 4-0 in
the Pacific Coast League)
feature four gollers with a
scoring average under 40, which
means 80% of the starting
lineup would probably play No.
1 on any other team.
Corona del Mar ls led by
junior Nick Sherman. a regular
top-10 finisher on the Junior ,
Amatew Goll Scholars Tour.
Sherman's scoring average
(38.3) ls the lowest among a
group ot standouts that indudei
sophomore Alex Chlkovani •
(39.1) and juniors Tlm Frohling
(39.7) and Brad Chamberlin
(39.9).
Cb.ikovanJ and Chamberlin
finished in the top five in last
year's PCL finals and earned
berths into the CIF individual
championships.
Sophomores Colby Hackett
(41.3 scoring average) and
Robert Ury (-'2.3) have bee.n
solid for Corona del Mar, while
senior Ryan Lynch and junior
Dave Stein have earned spots as
alternates. and will mix in the
starting lineup on occasion.
•1•ve got some studs,•
Starkweather said of his players,
all of whom return from last
year's squad that finished sixth
in the CTP regional team cham·
pionships.
Corona del Mar defeated
PCL favorite University March
26 on the 'Trojans' home course
to give the Sea Kings the inside
track to the league title.
But this year the Sea Kings
are aimlng even higher.
•There's only one CLP golf
banner on the gym wall and that
was way back,• said Stark ..
weather, referrtng to the 1967
ClP cbampionsbip team led by
Danny Bibb (Big Canyon
Country Qub) and Mike Reebi
(Olrector of Golf at Sant.a Ana
Country Oub).
The Sea Kings, who calt
Newport Beach Country Oub
home, have their best team si008
Stmkwe8tber took over as coach
three yea.rs ago .
The 1Cbool'1 junior varsity
team, which ts also off to a bot
•tart, features five freshmen
"who are jult awesome. 1bey'JJ9
