Bartzay said A LOVE OF MUSIC Thursday Sahar lay lifeless on the leather couch but did not fully abandon her musical time and crooned soft, melodic moans as she cradled her ear. The small family lives in a modest one-bedroom apartment off Fairview Road in Costa Mesa. The living room is surprisingly clean considering it doubles as the playroom for a young child. The floor was decorated with or- nate rugs and the walls were adorned with family pictures. On a side table sat a mold of Sahar's tiny hand and on the bottom shelf of the facing bookcase were the child's musical plaything!>.

Sahar loves eggs "She likes to be independent," the mother said of her daughter. AN ADVOCATE ON HER SIDE But as much as Sahar can ac· complish. she is so far behind and it is a daily struggle to irn· prove upon her communication and behavior skills. That is where Anthony comes in. Anthony will represent Sahar during a formal meeting with the Newport-Mesa Unified School District, in whkh the Barkzay family will request additional services.

Her communication slcilJs are lacking and she will grab cray· ons. toys or food from the hands of her peers. Anthony. and Jessica Pastil, the clinical director of Autism Spec- trum Consultants, believe Sahar would benefit greatly from an in· dividual aid in the classroom, as well as continued speech and occupational therapy. "We are going to appear before the district and ask them to vol- untarily provide the services we strongly believe Sahar needs," Anthony said. Sepresentatives from the school distiict could not be reached Fri· day. Anthony stressed the two are not at odds with each other and said the local district is one of the most compliant in the county.

What is the preferred dish for F.Aster dinner'? 1f you didn't say "ham,· go to your room. It is one more holiday tradition that the early New England settlers borrowed from their Native American neighbors. A springtime planting festival was an annual Indian rradioon. They would party hardy for day&, feasting on a selection of smoked meats that had been salted and stored through the winter. The settlers took a bite, went bonkers and tried their own version with the most plentiful meat they had -pork. And thus was born the ham dinner on Ea.ster Sunday. So what's with all the eggs, especially the colored ones? Simple. ~ have been a symbol of the cycle of life since ancient times. The Romans, Persi~ and Otlnese all painted and decorated eggs dunng their spring festivals. There's also a wonderful Polish legend about coloring Easter eggs. Supposedly, Mary offered eggs to the Roman soldiers at the foot of the aoss. appealing to them for mercy. As her tears fell on the eggs. they were transfonned in brilliant colors. In England, the household records of Edward I in the year 1290 sh\)W an entry of 18 pence for '50 eggs to be gold-leafed and colored as Ea.ster gifts. Thirty-seven dozen eggs for 18 pence!

"It is definJtely ha.rd.'' Bark:zay said. "It is really. really hard." In honor of National Autism Awareness Month, which both the cities. of Costa Mesa and Newport Beach recognized with _ proclamations, area parents ·of autistic children have formed a fund for Sahar.

If there's a p ersonal asp ect to the Easter m essage that resounds to m e, it is that on e.' ... FORU M Scliday ... 20, 2003 Id An experience of celebration Pastor Mike Erre discusse.s the importance of Easter and RO CKh a rbor' s theme this year T oday is Easter, which marks the day Ouistians believe Jesus Christ was resurrected from the d ead after being crucified on the cross. At ROCKh arbor Church in Costa Mesa, Easter is more a celebration than a holiday for it is the most important holiday in Christianity, said Mike Erre, the church's pastor of teaching and family ministries. While ROCKharbor usually · meets a t the Costa Mesa Senior Center, the church annually celebra tes Easter a t the Orange County Fairgrounds in Costa Mesa. On Wednesday, City Editor James Meler caught up with Erre at the fairgrounds as church officials and volunteers worked to raise the tent that will host a bout 4.000 people at three services today. What shouJd Easter m ean to Olristlansf It as the most central aspect of our faith. Paul, in one of his letters to the church of Corin thousands of years ago said, ·Look. if Jesus didn't ri!>e, we are to be pitied of all men because we our liars about him, we are stHI in our sins. we are just absolutely clueless and failures." DON LlACH /DAILY P1LOT So it is the central thing. Ir it did not happen, we are wasting our time. Not only does tt anchor the core of historical Olristianity becau!>e it claims to be a historical event. but beyond that 11 speaks of a world reborn of a new hope that death I!> not the finaJ an'>wer. that it's not cancer, or accidents or d1.,case that have the last '>ay Ute,raJly, there is a future for all of U!> depending on the choice'> we make here on Earth Hut that i., a reb1rthing of .lll that I'> good and all that 1., pure. Mike Erre, nght, pastor of Costa Mesa' ROCKharbor. looks forward to this weekends ~aster service So it speaks to the historic core of our faith, 11 '>pt>aks to a new hope and future that is promised us. And 11 also i.hows that lc'>US is no ordinary teacher. If you take this 10 be a literal. physical resurrection and actual historical event. then that separates Jesus from every other religious figure 1n the hi'itory of the world And he pointed to 11 to prove h.ls authority. How important of a hoUday ls It ln Ouisdanltyf For the reason!> mentioned above. it is the major celebration ofGod'i. wortc on Earth. Otristmas obviously ts huge dS well, but what Easter says as that all of the promises given to U'i in the Old Testament, all of the teachings of Jesus. aJl of that stuff, is true. literal and reaJ to us today. So ii is the most important holiday. And I hate even using the word holJday just because it's a celebration more than anything else. It 1s the acknowledgment of all that is good ctnd right and pure. What message does the chun:b plan to convey thb yearf Our theme this year is called the Door to Freedom and the message is -;imply this: TI1ere are many avenues that Lhe world prcsenl!> us that offer the promise of freedom that don't reaJly deliver.
