Why docs such a figure exist? Congress. in ics wisdom, decided that such a figure would help us a.JI compare different loans more effectively. Docs it really help? Not much. Por one thing, it assume1 that you wilJ pay off the loan over its full 30-ycar term. You'll probably pay it off much sooner than tbat, either with a refinancing loan or when y.ou sell your home. For another, it simply doesn't replace what you will learn by doing the math yourttlf and checlUng how much each of the# loans cost, when all is paid and done.

The kids are past the star-chart system, but nonetheless, a chart was a great start. I decided to make each underage person in my house responsible for one dinner a week. Just one meal. But ground rules apply. First. the meal has to be prepared at home (no fast food). Second, it has to be healthful (no ice cream sundae dinners). Third, they have to plan ahead and give me a list, or go to the store themselves and pW'Chase the ingredients. Fourth, they have to come in under $20 for the meal.

Linking art _to the past Newport Coast artist Alexa Alexander takes events and places no longer around and records them on canvas. Youn1Ch•n1 Daily Pilot T eU Alexa Alexander that a place or a tradition will no longer be -that it might get discontinued or demolished or that people are talking about doing something aJong those dooming lines -and that11 be enough to get the Newport Coast artist painting. , Last year, when she learned that the Newpon Beach boat parade route would get shortened as of this winter and that the longtime holiday tradition would now la5t five days instead of seven, she picked up her canvas and oils and went out to the water and started painting. MI thought, 'Oh my God, that's part of Newport Beach history,'" Alexander said. She's done the same for a buffalo ranch that used to be on MacArthur Boulevard. She's worlting now on sketches of the Lion's Oub Fish Fry, which is no longer a Costa Mesa tradition. She said she used to go to it for years and years. She said she has a vision of the m emory that she wants to get down on canvas. Most of her images malc.e a second jump -from her canvases onto the covers o f cards. 1Wo months ago, Alexander started selling her cards to area stores. About 15 Newport-Mesa venues have bought her work. Recent purchasers include the Mamott Villas in Newport Coast as well as stationery stores in the community. Her sole North ern California business, Pomegranate Publishing Co. in Sonoma County, recently signed a deal to sell her Olristmas cards in·2003. Matt Keto, an employee at Francis-Orr Fine Stationery in Corona del Mar. said Alexander'!. cards offer something differenl from the image Newport Beach typically promotes "This area comes off so often as so sophisticated and high end," Keto said . "But her cards have more of a sweet nature to them that a lot of the other cards miss." Everything is done in whal Alexander calls the "primitive" style. "It's sort of like Grandma Moses or other primitive painters," said the artist, who was recently hired as an art teacher at Corona del Mar High School. Nit has an old-fashioned, historical feeling about it and it's not threatening. People lilce looking at my work and they don't feel I'm making any big statements or that I have to explain." Alexander will only pa.int what were once real slices of life. Most often, it's a slice of California life.

Those of you who have favored this decision and also those who have opposed it, need to keep an ongoing eye on how this money is being spent and when. Taxpayers, citizens, businessmen, and environmentalists need to organize a committee that can have a friendly, close working, overview relationship with the Board and staff. An overview example: All of a sudden about 2 million dollars is being spent for additional mixers for the Activated Sludge Aeration Basins according to the August 29 Board agenda. Why weren't these additional mixers, which will provide more biological treatment, added a year ago, or 2 or 5 years ago? This is a good question? Results from recent tests that we have run at OC Sewage Treatment Plants have shown that the powers of buoyancy and gravity can be used for high volume mixing while being kind to the microbes and can be installed in the OCSD existing reactors. The cost savings thereof makes the use of high concentrations of pure oxygen viable for a high rate of solids reduction. The process is so stable that even digester sludge can be added to the activated sludge process for solids re<:fuction, resulting in less solids going to the ocean or farmland for disposal. Preferably, the remaining sludge from sewage treatment plants should be placed in 40-acre cells constructed with impermeable seals at the bottom and then covered with a seal when filled. Why cause widespread accumulative permanent damage to precious beaches and farmland?·This farmland will eventually become a public scourge as well as the beaches. OUR TECHNOLOGY PROVIDES MAXIMUM REDUCTION OF SOLIDS. WE WILL GLADLY COMPETE WITH THE EXISTING TECHNOWGY AT OCSD. WE CAN PROVIDE IMMENSE IMPROVEMENTS TO THE BIOWGICAL PROCESSES USED AT ·ocsn. It is so important that com~ting technologies be looked at. Our technology is patented and . proprietary. We have proposed an 8-day test run with our equipm~nt. During the first 4 days we would operate as a conventional activated sludge plant and during the last 4 days we would add digester sludge. The.cost participation of OCSD's share with us would be $8000. The ~al is to determine if the sam.F solids reduction can be realized in.eipt days as with the shorter daily test runs. We can set up our r.-rtable equipment in abOut 1-hour'S time. ONGOING •Send AROUND lOWN 1tetN to the Dejjy Piiot. 330 W. Bey St, Com M .... CA 82627; by fix to (949) 84M170: or by celllng (9491 57~.

C.e1l phones should not be used while watching a movie, attending church, looking for a book at the library or book store and sitting in classrooms. Such devices -when on - simply don't belong in the classroom. Seems like common sense, right? While we believe cell phones have no place on school grounds, it would probably be difficult to ban their existence entirely. So, it is not unreasonable for school officials to insist that during the school day;ceU phones should be off and safely stowed away. Educators have their hands full enough in teaching tomorrow's future -they don't need yet another distraction or obstacle. As we said, it's common sense and Newport-Mesa school trustees should use it when deciding how they want to deal with the handy devi~ now that the state has placed the decision in their hands. We understand how convenient the phones are. There are few without them these days. But there exists no real need for the phones to be used during school hours. If parents need to get ahold of their children, they should do so as it always has been done: call the school's office and have them pass a note. There's nothing wrong with that system. but there is something wrong when phones interrupt classroom discussions. In the off-chance a dire school-wide emergency arises, the schools should then make the rare exception in allowing the students use of their ph~nes. In that case, the devices can indeed prove useful in contacting families or finding help. But school trustees must set a firm rule immediately that the cell phones need to remain in the off position during school hours. Omversations should be limited to the campus as they always have been. Village Inn decision demands overturning T here has been much discussion during the war on terrorism about whether new government policies infringe on Americans' basic Constitutional rights. Last month a much clearer, and therefore much more chilling, attack on those rights occurred during a much smaller war raging on Balboa Island. ThiS fight is one that could happen almost anywhere. On one side is a Balboa Island homeowner, Anne Lemen. On the other is her neighbor, the Village Inn. She claims the restaurant/bar is far too noisy, far too late into the night and that the inn's new owners, the Toll family, have changed the establishment from a relatively quiet, locals-mostly spot to a nightclub for non-islanders. The Tolls, in return, say Lemen has harassed customers and wrongly videotaped patrons at the inn. Their battle. as so many do in America, escalated to the point that it ended up in court. And an Orange County Superior Court judge ruled ln late August that Lemen cannot ma.k2 false statements about.the Village Inn,· make contact with the restaurant's employees or videotape the business from within 50 feet, except from her own property (which happens to be 10 feet away}. Setting aside all the specifics of this dispute -talking not at all about whether Lemen has harassed customers or employees of the Village lnn or if the new owners have created a nuisance that needs to be cuibed or shut down -this injunction was wrong. It was wrong for one fundamental reason: the First Amendment The First Amendment. the irtltial Constitutional freedom Americans enjoy. guarantees Lemen the right to give her opinion of the Village lnn, as it guarantees the same to the Village Inn's owners and all U.S. citizens. And this decision trampled wmecessarily on her rights. There are other legal recourses for the Village Inn owners to pursue. Libel and slander laws exist so particular, improper statements can be punished and so the First Amendment will not be besieged as it has been in this case. The case is a perfect example of what is known in free speech legal jargon as "prior restraint," that is a muzzle of her speech by the oourts before the speech even occt.lfS. Therefore, this is a decision that deserves the appeal Lemen and her attorney have filed. lt is -0ne that demands to be overturned THE LAST WORD .. Fall of the House of Huscroft BOLTON Defensiveness follows request for audit Councilman John Heffernan's request for an account of the millions spent on Neducating'' the public about Measure W, is perfeclly in order (UCity awaits audit of pro-El Toro spending," Aug. 15). That money was taxpayers' money. Any expenditure must be accounted for. Why are the people involved crying ufoulN if everything is on the up and up? Why are the principal supporters of the measure have nothing to hide, why all the fuss? To me, it sounds as though som e folks' consciences aren't too clear. JANET BARON Newport Beach South C.Ounty needs to share its air burden Yes, Hanna HUI (In Minneapolis), we've voted twice for an airport at El Toro (Dear Joe, Aug. 15), Measure P was declared unconstitutional and, with the help of the Airport Working Group attorney, we'll overturn MeasureW. Fuel is trucked to the John Wayne Airport after hours; at ID Toro, the fuel lines have been ln place forever. Do you think the marines trucked ln their fuel? The airport that Is one of the most dangerous in the United States is John Wayne because we have short AIRPORT DEBATE runways. no buffer zone and the pilots must decelerate upon takeoff. There are 20-plus schools under the JWA takeoff and none at El Toro. If the airport does not happen, the 14,000 acres of buffer zone at El Toro will fall to the Irvine Co. What do you thinlc they'll do with lt? Build, build, build more homes. Poetic justice is what South County will get. El Toro has been an airport for 50 plus years. Hill's last paragraph slays me. Never have 1 seen anything claiming that nights should not be over expensive homes in Newport Beach. Those of us that live with JWA want South County (about three-quarters of travelers at JWA are from South County) to share some of this air traffic burden. Is that too much to ask? P.S. Joseph N. Bell does an excellent job as a journalist. RACHEL PEREZ-HAMILJ'ON COsta Mesa C.Ounty civil war must end I read Hanna Hill's letter with great interest. But I have the feeling there was some revisionist history involved. While she mendons how Me&Bure A barely passed, not a word Is said abou t Measure S, whlch lost 59% to 41 CJli. (S would have overturned A.) There waa even an lncteaae from 21 % to 26% by South County cities In support Jor ID Thro. One very lntrfgulng M!ntence wrinen by Hill was, Nhad the leaders of the Airport Working Group used tact and political savvy, had they approached the communities of South County with an open invitation to consider all possible base reuses. that by now jets would be flying at El Toro.~ I was then inspired to do some archives research on El Toro for 1994 and 1995 and here are my findings: Lake Forest and Irvine were bitterly opposed lo any aviation reuse at El Toro whatsoever. ln fact, Lake Forest tried unsuccessfully in court to keep Measure A off the ballot and deprive voters of a say in the matter. The cities of Irvine and Lalce Forest were offered advisory roles by the county. But they refused to join unless there was only non-aviiition reuse. This would have been a chance for them to work out a win-win situation; maximize the benefits like local economic stimulus, and minimize the impacts, by implemmdng 6.igbt paths over open !;paces. Maybe I missed something ln my research. But if there ever was any sort of compromise proposed by South County cities, I would hope that Hill will send a follow-up letter sbart.na the details. It is in the best interest of the whole county to compromlae and end this civil war. All of ua must wort together toward an equitable and amicable soludon for all.

COLLEGE CROSS COUNTRY ·· UCI men make history Anteaters capture their first invitational or meet ch~pionship since 1991. Steve Vlr1en Daily Pilot HUNTINGTON BFACH -The UC Ir- vine men's cross country team's per- formance Saturday was so emotional, Coach Vince O'Boyle held back tears as he delivered a heartfelt, post-race speech to his squad Saturday at Central Park in Huntington Beach. "That's the first time in a long Lime. Ir- vine has won an invitational title," said O'Boyle, who is in his 21st season with the Anteaters. The Anteaters won the UCl/J.L De- sign-Invitational, the first time in the 10- year history of the meet that Irvine has won the team championship. It wa.!>, in fact, the first meet title the Ant- eaters have won since 1991, when they won the Big West Conference championship. "That was an outstanding ef- fort,· O'Boyle told bis runners.

He was recruited by Cal Poly Pomona and UC San Diego, which finished sec- ond and seventh, respectively. The biggest reason he came to Irvine was Morisoli, Whelan said. They are both from Highland. "It's a big adjustment to go from high school to college, H Whelan said. "But the way this team has come together, with camp and the past couple of weeks, it's been really gratifying. That's one of the big changes from high school. I'm glad I can help in any way. I think we can make more history this season.

Steve Vir&en Daily Pilot HUNTINGTON BEACH -After fin - ishing second in the Big West Conference the past two years. the UC Irvine women's cross coun- try team is moti- vated to move up a notch. The quest for that feat began with a UCl /J.L Design Invitational title Saturday monung at CentraJ Pad in Huntington Beach. "We feel we're the top team (in the 81g West)." said UCI junior Julie Manson, who finished fourth (I 8:45.8) on the 5,000-meter course. "Winrung the Big West. that's our goal this year. It started today. I'm really proud of how the team did." The UC! women's team, led by Man- son. had five runners m the top 18. The Anteaters finished with 51 points, while second-place Southern Utah had 62 and new Mexico State followed with I 06 in the 12-team field. New Mexico State's Rachael Cuellar captured the individual championship, finishing in (18:23.1). However, the Ag- gies settled for third. while the steady pack for the Anteaters led UCI to the win.

He gives credit 10 his coaches such as his coach at Newport Harbor. Jim Kiefer, for helping him both on and off the field. "My coaches supported me 100%. motivated me and taught me not only how to play baseball but how to act outside and how to carry myself on and off the fieJd," Urban said. He will live at home in New- port Beach until May when the Rascals season begins. Urban said he enjoyed the time he spent in the Midwest, but main- tained he is still a ·Southern California guy."

Barry Faulkner Daily Pilot NEWPORT Bf.ACH -Spec· tators attending Newport Har- bor High girls volleyball matches this fall may want to find seats as far away from the net as possible in order to avoid any repetitive motion disorders that may affilct the necks of those witnessing the back-and-forth of the Sailors' marathon rallies. "Hopefully, we can be lilce Manuel Orantes when he won the 1975 U.S. Open," Newport Harbor Coach Dan GJenn said. ·All he did was keep the ball in play and that's our philosophy this year. La.st year, if the ball went over five times, we either got a kill or hit .it out. But this year, we have such good de- fenders, we want to keep the ball In play and let the other team make a mistake." The shift in style, however, should not be mistaken for weakness, as this year's Sailors enter Thursday's season opener against nonJeague visi- tor Laguna Beach as the top- ranlced team in CIF Southern Section Division II-AA. The Tars were CIF U-M run- ners-up a year ago and reign- ing champion Mira Costa, which swept the Sailors in the utJe match, has moved up to Division I-A. "We basically lost four start- ers (including first-team All· CIF Division 11 performers Uz l.o rd and Katie King)," Glenn said. "But we have some girls back who played a lot last year to go with our two returning starters.· One of the returning starters is 6-foot-3 senior Kristin McOune, who earned first· team All-CIF recognition last season and recentJy commit· ted lo Pepperdine. Glenn plans Lo utilize McOune at middle blocker, where the combina- tJon of superior ball control and junior setter Kelly King fig- ure to make her a dangerous offensive weapon. "We have to make sure we're able to get her the ball, but l think we have the kind of ball control that can do it," Glenn said. "She's a little stronger and a little bigger this year than she was last year, but I still think her best volleyball is ahead of her. That's not to say she's not good right now, but I'm going to enjoy watching her get bet- ter every day." King, who steps in for heF older sister Katie, who ran the offense the last three seasons, has worked hard to make the most of her opportunity. "We have some pretty good athletes on this team, but 1'elly is holding her own with them," Glenn said. "She came Into the season in really good shape and she has worked on the things she needed to improve on. I'm usually pretty hard on my setters. but I know I'll never have to get on her about not worldng hard enough." Among King's other primary setting targets will be Alyson Jennings. a 5-8 junior outside hitter who earned second- tearn All-Sea View League la.st year, when the Tars earned a share of their eight league title ln nine seasons en route to fin. lshing 22 -11.

"She's go· ing to have to have a bigger role for us offensively this year. She'll also be jump serving some this year." Emily Turner, a 5-8 junior, will start opposite the setter and Glenn believes she has the ability to add hitting to her prowess in the back row. "She plays Llbero for her club team, because she's phe- nomenal in the back row," GJenn said. "Bui with the peo- ple we've lost, we need her to be more of an offensive playeL" Glenn said Turner's leaping ability should allow her to pro· vide a strong hitting presence. Elizabeth Oayton, a 5-8 jun· ior, is battling for the other out.side hitter spot with Klley Hall, a 5-8 sophomore, and 5· I I junior Lindsey Miller. the MVP of the junior varsity last year. "Oayton played some back row for us and she was our fourth outside hitter last year,· Glenn said. "Kiley was hurt last year on the Jv. but she has im- proved a ton. Miller could play both outside and in the mid- dle. She's going to start in the middle against Laguna Beach." Bryana Carey, a 6-0 fresh- man whose older sister Jenni· fer was a decotated four-year star at Harbor and iS now a setter at Hawaii, is another fac- tor in the middle. "I expect (Carey) to play some and do a good job and she definitely gives w more size," Glenn said. Whlmey George. a 5-5 Sen · ior, and Jordan Carmack. a 5-8 senior, add to the team's strength in the back row and Carmack is the also the backup setter. Shelly Langford. a 5-I I sen- ior, adds depth in the middle. while senior Ouistina Fulce and junior Alexis Kerns are ad- dltionaJ backups. Glenn believes the team's strong defense could provide a foundation for great success.
