The Pilot reserves the right to edit all submlaalont for clarity and length EDITORIALS Drop the Steel signature case A s the courts have moved on. so should Michael Szkaradek:. Costa Mesa Councilman Ouis Steel made mistakes when he signed election n omination papers for a blind woman in 1998 and when he allowed a man to sign the 2000 papers for his wife. There's no doubt that in these decisions. he erred on the side of bad judgment. Last week:. an appellate court threw out Szkaradek:'s appeal because he had filed it too late. A technicality, yes, but also a sign. The courts will not remove Steel from office for his mistakes. It would have happened by now. Steel, elected in November 2000, has less than a year and a half until his four-year term ends. So Szkaradek. himself a former City Council candidate, needs to move on. If he really thinks Steel should be thrown out of office, he should run for the seat or encourage the voters of Costa Mesa to make it happen at the ballot box if Steel runs in November 2004. Anyone who second-guesses any council member's existence on the City Council can try to do something about it. This nation allows its voters this chance every election. The residents of Costa Mesa can also make a run for the seat so they can give a City Council seat a whirl. At the same time, Steel, if he should run for reelection, has learned a lesson and will more than likely be more responsible with his nomination papers next time around. And Szkaradek is very welcome to check those out. too. lf those, too, have problems, then history wiJI prove that Steel hasn't learned a lesson and should suffer the consequences. But until then, Steel made mistakes that the court has decided are not worth pursuing punishments for. Everyone needs to accept those decisions and stop wasting taxpayers' money and the courts' time. Our returning troops deserve our respect T he war in Iraq has provided all of us. those who supported the fighting and those who opposed it, with a new generation of heroes. Men and women from neighborhoods across the country packed up their lives, traveled thousands of miles to the other side of the world and put themselves in harm's way in service of their country. Many are now beginning to come home, including servicemen from Newport-Mesa. The firM of these, Marine ~taff Sgt. Charles "Cass" ~pence of Costa Mesa, arrived last weekend after a four-month tour. He was greeted by his family, who alternated between smiles and tears ac; they welcomed him Set to return any day now is Marine reservist Lance Cpl. Ian Voss of Newport Beach. He can expect a similar greeting from his loved ones. Of course, not a ll those who served are coming home safe a nd sound. Marine Cpl. Jose Garibay of Costa Mesa, who gave his life serving America, was laid to rest in Riverside National Cemetery in April. He was posthumously given his citizenship and has since been honored by Costa Mesa's Assemblyman Ken Maddox and Newport-Mesa Supervi!>or Jim Silva in a "wall of honor," which will display photos of military service people. All three of these m en. and those who crossed the Iraqi desert with them. deserve our lasting respect and admiration. They join the long, honorable line of men and women who have gone into battle for this country, many of whom, like Garibay, did not return to the arms of their fam ilies and friends. Twice a year, o n Memorial Day and Veterans' Day, this country Mops to pay homage to those who have served. The pictures an? stories from_ Iraq . that two days is just the ti p of all the thanks they deserve. Cass Spence's mother, Corinne Spence, captured the feelings of this community and this nation as she welcomed her son home. "I have to tell you, I am so excited, I am crying with thrill," she said. They a re feelings we should feel every single d ay. THE LAST WORD Walking on eggshells 0 K. o it's not eggactJy a five-star eatery.

A little history is important Lower Bayview is that area off of Jamboree and Back Bay Drive as you enter Newpon Dunes. Upper Bayview is right above thal on the northwest comer of Jamboree Road and East Coast Highway. Many of you may remember this area where a Shell Gas Station exis1ed for many years. The city is required to supply affordable housing. and we chose to do it in the form of senior affordable housing (very Newport Reach-style apartments}. Affordable housing is a state requiremenL Senior housing works well for us. as 20% of our population is over the age of 65. Unfortunately. our city is pretty well buih out. and Lower Bayview is the most feasible site left in the city. en was e o e counc tn 2000. I was assigned to the Affordable Housing Task Force Committee, and this comminee has worked diligently toward achleving a senior housing project at Lower Bayview. All was going extremely well as this was truly a win-win progJam for everyone. Separately, we were worlcing on deveJoping a view park on IJpper Bayview. That is, a combination of natural plantings, limited turf graM and minimal grading. lt would be a "pretty park" as opposed to a vacant lot This would not include buiJdings. gym type equipment, swings or anything like that We were then given the opdon of combining the two projects into one. That is, to develop the view park and the senior housing as a project which would compliment the two concepts.

Day cleared 5 feet, 10 inches on her first anempt to edge freshman Mindi Wiley of Sonoma and became a state champion in the finals of the OF State crack and field cham- pionships Saturday in front of 11 ,862 at Cer· ritos College. An uncharacteristic Day did not clear 6-0, and was upset with herself. So goes the life of an ulcra-competitive athlete. 1bere seemed only one way to describe her second consecutive state title.

I wish it could have been a little dif- ferent.· Day held back tears when talking to reporters, shortly after stepping down from the first-place podium. She pro· vided a courtesy smile when a reporter presented a comparison to the feeling she had Saturday. When asked if Day felt the same when the Costa Mesa High girls soccer team won a share of the CIF Division Ill title, Day responded with a bit of gmse an<! frusUadon.

MBut I just didn't have It at the end. ·1 am very competitive,· she said. •That's why I am so upset It felt like I tied." Regardless of how Day felt, the facts remained: Day wu a champion at every level she competed during the past month. She owned the hJgh jump event, winning the Golden West League, CIF Southern Secdon Division Ill, Masters Meet and st.ate titles. She nearly finished second in the high jump Saturday, but cleared 5· l 0 on her first attempt to keep the up-and- coming Wiley at bay. Wiley cleared 5· 1 O on her aecando attempt. and she nearly conquered 6·0. Day also came close to getting pa.st 6-0 on her third and 8nal attempt, but her "8ht heel hJt the bar.

Fstancla distance coach Olarlie Appell was also imp~ with Rojas, affectionately known as. "Pepino." Perhaps. Appell lcnows Rojas better than anyone. The coach and the runner share the same birthday. they are both left· handed and they are both avid fam of track and field Plus. they have worked together for the past four years. Owing the l ,600, Appell said the key for Rojas was to stay away from "Mt. SACitis," their own term that comes from Rojas' freshman year, when he suffered from side aches at a race at Mt.

After Day slipped and did not clear 6-0 on her sec- ond attempt, her father and coach, Eugene, offered her advice and encour8ged her while leaning over the railing in the stands. Eugene Day was not su.re if Sharon had won the state dtie after the event ended. And when he realized she dld win, he was hardly pleased "I'm wry upset." Eugene Day said "She lost focus. She'• never nervous at these type of meets, so you know that wasn't the case.

"lt's been phenomenal," Eugene Day said of Sharon's track and field season. "She worked and worked .. she had a whirlwind year in athletics."

She became the Orange County Female Athlete of the Year, as deter. mined by the county's athletic directors, May 27. The same could be said for Novak, who did not even qualify for CIF last year. He finished his season at the Pacific Coast League finals with a 5-8 clearance.
