N ewport Beach's famed

wended its way
through the harbor
during the first night of the 94th
annual Christmas Boat Parade
on Wednesday.
The scene has become
happily familiar to those along
the parade's route: boats
festooned with lights glide
slowly along, at points surpassed by the
expansive holiday decorations put up by
those living along the harbor's waters.
The parade's theme this year is "Celebrating

used this year for the first time.

After two decades of standing on
opposite sides of the Home Ranch fence,
the Segentroma and Mesa Verde
residents find themselves allies in the
fight to stop a bridge at Gisler Avenue.
The Fountain Valley City Council voted
Tuesday eve$g to request $500,000 in
grant funding from county transportation
officials for the preliminary design and
environmental study of a bridge to cross
the Santa Ana river, connecting Gisler
Avenue in Costa Mesa to Garfield Avenue
in Fountain Valley and Huntington
Beach.
A bridge at Gisler Avenue is included in

NEWPORT COAST COSTS
Council members agreed to reimburse
the county about $20,000 in legal fees
incurred last year when a 8J'OVP of
,Newport Coast residents sued to reverse
· annexation of their area to
NewP,Ort Beach. but not
• without some lament. The
Aw: w_ Local Agency Formation
Commission incurred the
legal costs to defend
themselves in the suit, coSts that rules
require the city to repay. Add that to the
more than $12,000 the city paid to retain
Phil Cohn of the law firm Rutan and
Tucker for the matter, and it brings the
legal fees fQr the suit to more than
$32,000.
WHAT THEY SAID
wSo, basically, one resident cost the city
$32,000 in unneeded legal fees?"
Councilman John Heffernan pointed out,
while acknowledging that such
challenges are every resident's right
SENIOR AFFORDABLE
HOUSING
A much-anticipated project to build
150 units of senior affordable housing at
Lower Bayview took a step forward when
council members ~roved
setting aside $50.000 for
anticipated consultant
contracts and pJannlng
costs. A fa.rp number of
residents have asked how
to obtain senior affordable housing once
it is built southwest of the intersection of
Jamboree Road and Back Bay DriVe. But
no information is available on how to
get one of the units. Waiting list:s and
more information.won't be available ·
until after the project breaks ground, but
it's uncertain when that might take
place.
VIRTUAL FAQS
A presentation by city staff on a new
automated phone and Internet service
came at the end of the fl\eeti.ng, the time
when council members were on the
verge of getting a bil silly. One
well-intentioned questioq was enough to
send them over the edge: "What are .

lt went, downhill from there. as council
members qoticed that the new service

The City' Council on Tuesday
voted to award' a $235,760 con-
tract to Meyer, Mohaddes Asso-
ciates to conduct a citywide sur-
vey of potential traffic flow
improvements.
"I'm pleased we're doing this,
but a little dismayed at the
amount of time it's taken to get
on the agenda," said City Coun-
cilman Gary Adams, who in
January requested that the city
look at improving traffic flow
through synchronizing traffic
lights and other approaches.
A main focus of the company's
work will be to time traffic lights
in a way that keeps motorists
moving.
"When you're in the city and
you drive from red light to red
light. I.he idea behind this is to
put this to an end," Mayor Steve
Bromberg said.
The company wiU look at the
timing of all city-owned traffic
lights to recommend and imple-
ment changes.
On Coast Highway. which is
owned by Caltrans, the company
will also recommend signal time
improvements. City leaders are
optimistic that the state agency
will wcrk to help improve signal
timing there.
The company will also deter-
mine where improvements such
as lane re-striping would im-
prove traffic flow. And they will
offer advice on high-tech im-
provements that the city may

w I'm convinced that, when
we're through, the motoring
public in the city here will notice
a difference,# Public Works Di-
rector St.eve Badwn said.
But Adams said that this con-
tract should not be the end of
such work by the city. It should
be the beginning.
wr think this is a good start, but
it's something we just have to
stay on top of." Adams said. "It's
an investment we just have to
make. and this is just the start of
it."

EDITORIAL .
Final· thanks for
a job well -done ·
B ack in August of 2000, we
wrote an editorial lamenting
the laek of good people
running for pubUc office,
dtled "Where have all the candidates
gone?"
Since then, several matters have
rocked the political landscape and
. made campaigning a tougher game
than ever.
We've most likely played a pan in
that game, as some have bemoaned
our sometimes hard-hitting coverage
and bold, front-page headlines.
But we are just the tip of the
iceberg.
Candidates today have to face the
reality of phony phone calls,
exorbitant campaign fund-raising for
nonpaying offices, trumped up
charges of malfeasance and
conspiracies and name calling by
members of the public and even their
own board colleagues.
So with that in mihd, we'd like 10
tip our hat in gratitude to the brave
batch of outgoing school board and
city council members who withstood
the heat. didn't get out of the ldtchen
(until their terms were up) arld left
legacies that will be long lasting.
On the C.OSta Mesa City Council,
we must say a word of thanks to
Linda Dixon, who lost her bid for
reelection in November. Di.xpn served
as a councilwoman during a period
that for at least the last two years saw
nary a meeting that went by without
rantings of rancor and discord.
Tu be sure, Dixon's
accomplishments and contributions
to this city, reported and unreported,
will be appreciated by residents for a
long time to come.
On the Newport Beach City
C.Ouocil, longtime council members
Dennis O'Neil and Norma Glover
were forced out of their seats by term
limits.
ln their eight years, they saw the
council tom asunder by several
issues, most notably the ouster of
then City Manager Kevin Murphy
and the ascendancy and domination
of the Greenligbt movement, a
movement that targeted the council
as inetlective and unresponsive to
the needs of the community.
Glover and O'Neil, who were on
opposite sides of the Murphy firing
fiasco, were certainly not the darlings
of that Greenllght crowd, but
managed to get their voJces heard by
sticking to their message.
But what residents will ultimately
be the most grateful to O'Neil and
Glover for is their role as the main
powerbrokers to an agreement by
leaders of Stop Polluting Our
Newport, the Airport Womng Group,
the county board of supervisors and
the city to ink a new Settlement
Agreement at John Wayne that will
extend flight caps and curfews for
years to come.
Finally, to the Newport-Mesa
Unified School Board. There
probably couldn't be two members
more diametrically opposed than
Wendy Leece and Jim Ferryman.
Both will not be on the board in the
coming years, Ferryman by his own
choice, Leece by virtue of the ballot
box.
Leece probably won't be missed
much by her board colleagues, who
often disagreed with her outspoken
and conservative points of view.
Ferryman, on the other hand, was
a valued member of the school board
team, so to speak. who enjoyed the
loyalty of his colleagues. even
through his darkest hour, while
.facing a DUl arrest and subsequent
conviction.
!lither way, both have played
important roles in the shaping of
policies such as uro tolerance and
smaller class sizes, the opening and
reopening of new schools, of helping
the board recover from financial
losses linked to the county
bankruptcy and the crowing of all
achievements, the overwhelming
public support for a bond measure
that promises to repair the crumbling
infrastructure and make a better
environment for all the teens and
children in this district.
To all of those who have served, we
extend our thanks on behalf of the
community and this paper.
LETTER TO THE EDITOR

settlement agreement
T he Daily Pilot's~ 15 editorial
"Caps represent best possible

number of gates from 18 to 20 ln an

Increases ln the future at John Wayne
Airport. However, some unfamiliar wlth
airport issues might not realize the John
Wayne Settlement Agremlent that is
now in Place restricts passengers to 8.4
million a year and I 4 gates. That means
th«t new agreement now being
pTQposed actually allaws an increase of
2.4-million passengers and six new

The constant and extremely busy mix
of large commercial Oight& with smaller
commuter planes is an added risk due
to a condition called "wake

as the cause of at Least one John Wayne

Ficus trees were used to create a canopy of fofi?ge over Clay Street in Newport Beach.
Remaining ficus is not the
best example of whaf s lost
The remaining ficus tree ln front of
the Balboa Inn is very unattractive.
There is hardly any foliage, most of
the branches are bare and the tree
appears to be in very poor health.
This is the one ficus tree of all that
were there that offers no shade. ln
my opinion, if the tree can not be
nurtured back to health, It should be
replaced with a tree that will grow
well in sand.

Gmdidates should look in
mirror for cause of defeat
When some candidates lose their
electlons, they often need someone
other than themselves to blame.
1Wo recent losing candidates,
Richard Taylor from Newport Beach
and Linda Diion from Costa Mesa.
are trying to pin their losses on
David Ellis, a political consultant.
Dixon was quoted as saying In
the PUot's story about Ellis: "He said
he was going to get me." No, the
voters of Costa Mesa "got you," got
you out of office. I, for o~e. am
thankful for Ellis' expertise and his
ability to educate voters about the
shortcomings of elected officials

City residents, even in Orange
County, have bad to suffer under
Democrat activists who are drawn

governmenL It seems most
Republicans prefer a smaller
government that does not meddle
and would rather spend their time
working to succeed in business
than clamor to run city hall.
Democrats love and abuse power

Bridge at 19th Street would
harm Eastside Costa Mesa
1 find it interesting that they want
to gum up the extension again tof
the 19th Street bridge!. I remember
when Harriet Wieder was the Board
of Supervisors person. At that time,
we on the East:side gathered
signatures and we got support from
Huntington Beach and also met for
the purpose of taking the bridge off
the master plan.
I don't know what people on the
Westside think, but If they would
ever put the bridge in, it would not
benefit any business on the
Westside, it would just create a
freeway between Huntington Beach
and Newport Beach and it would
disrupt the traffic on the Eastside.
We have traffic as it is on 19th
Street accessing the freeway. but I
can't Imagine what it would do lf
they wanted to put a bridge in. It
would do to Easl 19th Street what
was done to Victoria Street I1
would cause several homes to be
removed and people would be
displaced, have to be reJocated, and
ln the Dec. 12 story, "Junior
college presidents don't get raises,"
it was reported that I said that
$60,000 In raises could fund five
freshman composition courses at
Orange Coast CoUege.
The number of courses that could
be funded with the money saved is
far greater. Each caiae ofS18,000
could fund five classes; aince six
raises were proposed, 30 English
classes could be funded. With each
class serving 30 students, the ·
savings could provide this
important transfer cla.ss for 900
students. Similar level& of needed
instruction could be restored In
other departments.
At the beginning of the fall
semester. class sections were
slashed campus-wide at OCC for .
the 2002-03 academic: year; F.nglisb
and math classes ln particular feU :
far short of meeling demand. With '.
more cuts expected, many students
will again be unable to enroll lo the
classes they need this spring. I hoPf
the spare money the district has
found can be applied to
maintaining student instruction.

called for was to be in awe of
Lopez's cbaracter. Smart, sexy
and (supposedly) wealthy, what's
not to like? No dramatic gravity
was called for -so why did they
get Fiennes?
The point is to not ask to
many questions. Don't thlnJc
about the movie much. It's not
that type of movie. and there are
some flaws.

Weak story undermines
'The Fmperor's Club'
What happens when any
type of media blatantly tries to
send a positive message?
Normally, it gets ignored. Such
will probably be the story of
director MJchael Hoffman's
latest film, ·The Emperor's
Oub."
William Hundert (Kevin
Kline) leads a quiet and
controlled life aa a teacher of
the Oaaaica at SL Benedicts
School for Boya. He prides
himself on the opportunity be
is given to mold and shape his
students with his passion for
knowledge
and
principles of
honor.
However, the
arrival of
new student
Sedgewiclc
Bell (Emile
Hirsch) puts
his Integrity DEAND8A on the line RICH and he is
given the
challenge of a lifetime.
Although the concept for a
good film was there, and Kline
and newcomer Hirsch gave
stellar performances, these are
ultimately overpowered by the
unbalanced combination of a
weak story line and what could
have been a very strong
message.
An idealist like myself would
normally be very dis.appointed
In a film like this, not only for
the weak script but also for the
harsh reality It offers.
But I was surprlsingty

DINING REVIEW
A meal meant to be shared at Thaifoon
DON l..£ACH I DALY Pt.OT
Thaifoon's head chef Lot.J Siano, left, and General Manager Danny
Ornellas with lunch favorite Thai chicken salad and cold sake.
$22, you and a few friends can
enjoy one of these tropical treats
served in a large gbw bowl with
four straws.
I was disappointed !hat the
bar area wasn't larger. There are
a few bar tables, but I'd like to
see more room to enjoy drinks
and appetizers after a hard day's
shopping.
The menu at Thaifoon Is
loosely based on Thai cuisine,
but observant diners will note
influences from other Asian
cuisines. As with P.F. Oiang's, the
spices and preparations have
been updated to appeaJ to a
broader range of palates.
I'm a big fan of authenticity,
especially after severaJ trips to
Asia. Thaifoon doesn't make any
claims at being the real thing.
Everyone I've dined there with
has been impressed with the
flavor and freshness of the food.
So have I.
Appetizers are a perfect way to
get acquainted with the menu
and a great example of the
blending of different cuisines.
Ooe of the simplest staners is
the edamame ($4.95), a
Japanese dish of steamed
. soybeans. The beans arc
steamed in their pods and
tossed with a handful of rock
salt. To eat the pea-like beans.
you split the pod by squee7ing
the ends together to release the
tasty beans.
The soybeans are fun to pick
oa while sipping coclctai.ls. and
they have the added benefit of
being healthful
A more traditional ThaJ dish is
the chick.en Satay ($6.95). strips
of marinated chicken grilled and
served with a miJdly sweet
peanut sauce.
Siamese spring rolls ($6.95)
are crisp egg rolls filled with a
mixture of sweet crabmeat and
savory pork. The rolls are served
with lettuce leaves, fresh mint
and a sweet and sour chili sauce.
The idea is to wrap a roll in a
lettuce leaf with some of the
mint and sauce. My friend Karen
doesn't like the assembly
process, but I think the cool
lettuce is a good foi.1 for the crisp
egg rolls.
Another dish that features
lettuce wrappers is shrimp
explosion ($7.95). Here, small
rock shrimp are quickly fried
and served with a citrus-chili
sauce and some fresh ginger. As
with the spring rolls, some
a.s,sembty is required.
The barbecued pork ribs
($7.95) glazed in honey and
hoisin sauce are some of the
meatiest and tender ribs I've
had. The meat was praclicaUy
falling off the bone. The vinegary
slaw served with them cuts the
richness of the meat perfectly.
The young staff at Thaifoon is
friendly and helpful. cager to
explain menu items or offer
suggestions.
The dishes are served family
style. and ifs obvious !hat the
food at Thaifoon is meant to be
shared. I ~e going in larger

groups so I can sample many
different dishes.
The entrees are arranged in
categories by beef and pork,
chicken and duck. se<llood, and
noodles. Firebird chicken ($8.95)
pairs marinated chicken strips,
tossed with garlic and cilantro,
and fried rice. I was impressed
with how flavorful this
simple -sounding dish was. All of
the ingredients complimented
each other while maintaining
distinct flavors.
There were very few dishes I
didn't like al Thaifoon, although
some leaned toward the
ordinary, such as the pepper
steak ($12.95), which. despite
claiming to be made with filet
mignon. was a bit chewy. The
sauce for this dish was a bit too
mild, and I had trouble tasting
the cracked pepper that was
supposed to coal the meat.
On the other hand, the
lemongrass-crusted halibut
($12.95) is ea'>ily the star of the
menu. A halibut fillet is
seasoned and lightly breaded.
and then fried and served with a
sweet chili sauce. The fish had a
light. crunchy crusl that
surrounded a mois t
melt-in-your-mouth filet, and
the sauce had just the right
touch of sweetnt:ss without
being cloying.
It's difficult to pair wine with
most Asian cuisines; the spict'S
can overpower or conflict with a
101 of varietals. The best wines to
accompany spicy Asian fare are
sweeter whites, such as Rieslings
or Gewilrztraminer.
When I ordered a
GewOrztraminer by the glass on
a recent visit, my server
informed me they were out of it,

but wisely recommended a local
Riesling they )Vere also pouring.
By the bottle, Thaifoon offers an
adequate list or mostly
California wines.
Ooe thing those with a sweet
tooth won't find at Thaifoon is a
dessen menu. lnMead. the
restaurdllt serves up a
complimentary small scoop of
green lea or coconut lee cream.
If you're in the mood for other
some sweets, save some time for
a stop on the way home.
In addition 10 being open for
lunch and dinner, lhaifoon also
offers their complete menu for
take-out. I ordered some food to
go. and when I got home found
that I had been given the wrong
o rder. When I returned to
exchange the food for my order.
the manager also handed me
severaJ gift certificates for my
troublt. A nice touch.
Thaifoon seems to have a
winning fonnula of atmosphere,
moderate pricing and fresh,
llavorfuJ food with a wide
appeal.
Judging by the initial crowd6.
it's safe to say that Thaifoon will
be around for a while. It has
anracted shoppers looking for a
food break as well as destination
diners eager to enjoy the
r~tawant's unique blend of
N.ian-inOuenced cuisine.

Looking f oi the gift of recognition during the holidays . .
Beloveds in Christ,
What ts central about
Christmas to you? Fewer
than half of Americans
who identify Utemsetves as
Chrtsttans say the moat
important part of
Christmas 18 the birth of
Jesus: oflnore than 1.000
people surveyed, 88
percent tdentlfled .
themselves as Christians
and only 37 percent of
those Christians saJd that
Jesus' birth ls the most
stgntflcant aspect of
Christmas. The 37 percent
included ind1vtduals from
different faiths.
Now, truly beloveds, I am
not saytng that the mass of
Christ (Christmas) should
be the most important
thJng about our holiday
(holy day). Nor am I a "put
Christ back in Christmas"
guy. but ...
We witness to the
Christmas message when
we gather at Bethlehem's
manger. There, we are
poised between love's
completion and
frustration, between Jove's
trtumph'and tragedy.
God's enfleshment in
Jesus ts love's.risk. It ts
ulttinate self-dtsclosure?
Will tt be teetprocated? Will
we take to heart the word&
of Athanastus of
... Fewer than half of Americans
who Identify themselves as
O>rlstlans say the most Important
partof 01rlstmas Is the birth of
Jesus."
God's vulnerability; God's
fullness made empty;
God's rtcbne~s made poor;
God's 'otherness'
becomtng 'realness' -for
us and for our salvation.
Our longing for peace,
justice, love, joy and
community ts enwrapped
tn that tenderness and
light. warmth and
hospttallty.
The "power of response·
ts tn our hands -no less
than the "power of
response" Ues 1n the hands
of those we love. The birth
at Bethlehem: Will this love
be recogntzed as God's
Alexandria, ·He became
what we are that be mtght
make us like he ls? .. Or will
thls Christmas love be
thwarted and frustrated
through our
distractedness? We must
each answer for ourselves.
Anats Nln once saJd, "We
do not see things as they
are; we see thtngs as we
are.·
Perhaps the question of
the triumph or tragedy of
Chrtstmas Ues in just how
wtlllng we are to let the

"C.Ondidoning is an
extremely important thing in

'that last year. Last year. I loved
to be on the bottom (each
wrestler decides where he will
start at least one subsequent

neutral, upright, position to

was always huffing and puffing.
It seemed like every second of a
match. I was dying (last year).
But, this year, I get to the third
period and I still have some gas
going. It has brought a whole
new thing to my wrestling."

OOSTA MESA -The Fstancia
High girls water polo team was an
afterthought in th.e Pacific Coast

ru.k is not a.shamed to admit The
PCL had (and still has) some of
the best teams in Orange County,
induding . Corona del Mar, the
PCL and CIF Division IV cham-
m last year, Laguna Beach and
iversi.ty.
However, the F.agles appeared
Lo have taken new life, as they en-
ter the Golden West League this
season.
"This year we don't have to play
in the PO... which is nice,~ Banda-
ruk. the second-year coach, said.
~'D be able to compete in the
Golden West League. lt was tough
in the PCL There were junior var-
sity girls from those teams that
would stop and play left-handed
and they would still beat us.
Those teams are polo power-
houses and we're just not"
Instead of possessing a passion
for winning championships, the
f.stancia girls water polo program
concentrates on teaching funda-
mentals. Bandaruk wants his girls
to be better water polo players
when they leave the program.
Most of the girls who play for Es-
tancia have never competed in
water polo.
"We really go over the funda-
mentals," Bandaruk said. "We
also condition hard. Our first 45
minutes of practi<;e is just swim-
ming. We have to also focus on
shooting. A lot of our girls just
don't have a lot of experience."
Despite the inexperience.
Bandaruk is noticing that the
Eagles are improving in ~ch
practice and in each game. (They
play at SaddJeback Wednesday,
Dec. 18).
Senior goalie Laura Morton is
the only returning starter, while
seniors Jenny Fais, Jessica Fernan-
dez and Uhini Keenawinna are
back from last year's team and
ready to be key leaders for the
Eagles.
"My team is very, very yow1g.

QuickSilver rolls to b<?ys under-14 title
The F.agles (with a record of I
win, 2 losses and 3 ties as of Dec.
17) haven't had problems
putting shots on the opposing
team's goalkeeper with 33 and
31 outbursts already this season,
but getting the balJ to the back
of the net has been more of a di-
lemma. Rajabi said.
"No one is there to finish the
crosses," said Rajabi, who
played for Cal Lutheran's soccer
team for four years before
coaching soccer at La Reina
High for four seasons upon her
graduation from college in 2000.
Rajabi played at Mater Del
and writes trailers for movies
· while composing headlines and
taglines for radio for Sony Pic-
tures. She also performs stand-
up comedy routines at-improv
clubs.
The Anaheim Hills resident
jumped at the chance to get
bade into soccer since being re-
moved for about two years.
"I had been around soccer for
so long that I kind of got burned
out on (soccer)," Rajabi said.
"But when it ended it was al-
most depressing because I
thought, 'What am I going to do
with my time n~' I'm coach-
ing because l love (soccer)."
Rajabi inherits a team of eight
seniors including Ruth Olavero,
a center halfback: and sweeper
who played on the U.S. National
team, along with fellow sweeper
ICarleen Curran, forwards Marla
Sanchez and America Rangel
alongside defenders Amanda
Abbot (three year varsity player),
fessica Butler, Alaina Sweeney
and Dustinne Lau, who sprained
her ankle in a game last week.
Rajabi considers Lau one of
the Eagles' best defenders.
"(Olavero) kicks comers right
on target." Rajabi said. "On the
end of (the comers) are Sanchez
and (Randee) Gambill."
Curran played singles on Fs-
tancia's tennis team that made it
to the first round of the CIF
Southern Section Division V
Playoffs this fall.
Gambill, a junior, is joined on
the front lines by junior Asia In-
gram, sophomore Elizabeth
Greyshock. a transfer from Ma-
ter Dei, and freshmen Lauren
Cushing and Marina Abdul
F.stancia will be anchored at
midfield by juniors Melissa Wll-
ley with sophomores iandra Lo-
pez, Rachel McMasters and Elise

Juniors Erika PUetez with
goalkeepers Arwyn Knott and
Stephanie Veliz, alongside
sophomore keeper Paula Arona
and freshman Lauren Donner
make up the rest of the Eagle de-
fense.
