Former .Costa Mesa mayor Bob Wilson, who
is suffering fro m a terminal illness, has one·
wish: to survive through Christmas morning.

COSTA MESA -On Christmas
Day, about 20 members of the
Wilson family will gather to cele-
brat,e the hoUday with gifts, food
and most hnportant, famUy.
8 Wilson's only wish Is to be
th sitting in a chair, basking

gen ~ns.
time wtll teU whether
that a possJblllty or just a beau-llful~<illday dream. Wilson, co-
fou_1ter and three-tJme mayor
or CAsta Mesa. Is near the end of
his life. The 86-year-old civic
leadtr. author, historian and
greaf'-grandfaJ.ber is home under
hosJJce care for a terminal heart
conf tion, and he says he
does't know whether he'll make
it tothwtday.
•1 Just want to be there, sitting
in a• cbafr, watching everybody
enJot themselves," Walson said
in a .hone interview at his Costa
;
Mesabome.
Over the put 50 years. Wilson
helped grow Costa Mesa from an
untamed piece or land nick-
named •Goat Hilr to a diverse
metropolis of about 100,()00
people.•
•l-Je was deflr\ltely one of the
moving forces ln lncorpora~ng
the city 50 yeah ago," said Gla-
dys Refakes, a spokeswoman for
the Costa Mesa Historical Soci-
ety and a longtime friend or Wil-
son's.
Wilson was just a concerned
citizen when he joined a move-
ment to incorporate the city.
When that dream came true ln
1953, his half-century-long role
ln the city began. Wtlson was ap-
pointed a planning commis-
sioner ln 1953 and served as the
commission's chair. In 1960, he
was elected to the City Council,
where he served through 1976,
including three stints as mayor.
He has also served on more
boards, commissions and other
bodJes than he or anyone else
can seem to count.
ln between, he racked up a Hs t
or experiences that has helped
fill several books. An autobiogra-
phy he completed earlier this
year details some of his fascinat-
ing life experiences, including
being one of a group of Ameri-
can mayors taken hostage in
Beirut in the early 1970s, his
early years as an adopte<l child
and, of course, his marriage to
Maryalice, which has lasted 65
years.

His more famous book. "From
Goat Hill to City of the Arts: The

of his own experiences in build-

"We do have, without ques-
tion, the finest shopping center
in the United States. We have
one of the finest performing arts
areas, plenty of parks,~ Wtlson
said. "I'm very proud of what we
did."

The delay is because of the nwn·
her of defendants that have to
sign the agreement. she said.
"They city is dolng everything
It can to get the matter settled
that litl agreed (tol," Poturica
said.
A secondary reason Scheer de-
dd~ to lob another legal pitch
at the city ls because he took of-
fense at a statement Mayor Gary
Monaha11 made in the Daily Pilot
on Dec. 18, Stormer said. Mona-
han said that Scheer was hired
without a recruitment process.
then went on to say, "And thar's a
fatal Oow that we can't have hap·
pen."
Stormer said Monahan's state-
ment violated a clause in the set·
tlement agreement that prohib·
ited any of the parties in the
lawsuit Crom ma.king disparaging
comments about each other.
"lf the city will not only not
meet its financial obUgadons,
but won't meet its moral obliga-
tions and agreements it signed
on to take part in, how can you
trust anything they're going to
do7" Stormer said.
Monahan declined to com-
ment.
The original tort daim charged
that Scheer suffered losses in ex-
cess of SS million.
The lawsuit that followed was
based on a series of events start·
ing ln )uty 2001 when Milligan
made a written complaint
against Scheer containing a
number of accusaUons. Scheer
was eventually cleared of the al-
legations by an independent
counsel and independent inves·
cigator in April 2002.
But In September 2002, Scheer
was placed on administrative
leave pending an investigation.
The counctl decided the matter

him ask to have grievances
against him discussed in an open
session.
Also that month, the council
initiated Its own internal Investi-
gation and financial audit of .lhe
Office or the City Attorney. Co·
wan and Robinson were in
charge of the investigation.
On Oct. 4, 2002. the council
voted, again in closed session. to
reinstate Scheer. He returned to
worlc on Oct 7 against his doc-
tor's orders because the city's
treatment had created severe
emotional distress, the lawsuit
claims.
Scheer returned to work part-
time but could not complete his
responsJbilities because he was
unable to log onto his computer,
accordJng to the lawsuit. The
computer division had also
downloaded everything Crom his
computer while he was sus·
pended, the lawsuit stated.
Later In October, Scheer re-
ceived a notice that he had to
work full-time or resign. Scheer
chose to take sick leave on Oct.
21.
Stormer said he believed the
reason so much time has elapsed
without finalization of the settle-
ment agreement is because one
of the defendants is not ame-
nable to it. He didn't venture 10
guess which one that might be.
Scheer slgned off on the settle-
ment out of loyalty to the city,
Stormer said.
"They had a wonderful com·
mined employee who doesn't
want to be in the situation where
he is,• Stormer said. "He sacri-
fices to reach an agreement be-
cause It was in everybody's best
interest. and then, they slap him
in the face by not lgnlng it and
violating the tenns of agreement
they claim they were bound by."

Because of the testing prob-

T erry Valanta knows how to party.
On Friday, the day she hit the

brandy, grinning for pictures and
malting jokes that entertained her family
mJmbers.
Valanla, who resides at Silverado Senior
IJ1Ahg home in Costa Mesa. was S\.llTOUnded
hy four generations of her family for the
occasion.
She was serenaded by entertainer Sam
t>-.m.ons, who sang "I lappy Birthday" and "I'm
Dreaming of a White ~tmas."
With her birthday usually overlooked
beeause it fa!~ so close to Quisrmas, she was
noored by tJ1e atlendon.
·~This is unusual, I'll say," she said,
'>ur:yeying the scene. "I'm going to be around
for the next lhirthdayl. too."
Valanta gt'C'A up in Boston as one of nine
d11!dren.
As a young woman, Valanta was ahead of

I wasn't looking for marriage," VaJanta said.

Once she W(I.') ready for marriage, all she
heard from men was "Where were you 45
years ago?" she said.
She took a Dale Carnegie salesman coun;c

"Now that I'm older, I appreciate what I

hitting 100. and she remained nonchalant
about it on her birthday.
"You don't even Ulink you're going to live Lill

She lived independen tly until she was

Code enforcement officers
launched a pilot program In Sep;
tember 2002. targeting an area
boltlered by I larbor Boulevard,
Victoria Street. Placentia Avenue
and 19th Street They used three
strategies to motivate tenants and
landlords to request inspections.
While more than half the prop-
erty owners solicited asked for
voluntary Inspections of their
properties, most dJd not want the
interior of their buildings in-
spected. And the owners of prop-
ertles with the most visible ex-
terior code violations never
contacted the code enforcement
office, according 10 a report the
Planning Commission received
Dec. 8 from building official Rick
Brown.
Some of the obstacles to gain-
ing entry for inspections are ten-
ants' ferus of retaliation from the
property OWQer. and state and
federal law, which prohibit enter-
ing private property without "rea-
sonable cause.·
Planning Commissioner Katri -
na Poley sald the program is a
good start to anacldng substand-
ard housing. but there's a lot
more that needs to be done.
"I really believe the new police
chief's community policing effort.
in conjunction with U1e code en-
forcement effort, is going to have
a significant increase In our abil-
ity to resolve some of the sub-
standard housing problems in
our community,· Foley said.

enforcement officers carried out
the pilot program in the target
area, which was selecced because
ii contained a large percentage of
rental units versus single-family
homes. There is a large concen·
tradon of apartment buildings
along Pomona. Meyer and Victo-
ria streets.

'
The ollicers tried three meth-
ods in three sections of the target
area to prompt requests for in-
terior inspections. In one section.
they walked the neighborhood
door-to·door and explained the
program's goal to tenants. The of-
ficers heard of many problems.
but most tenants wouJdn't agree
to let the officers into the apart-
ments because they feared re-
taliation from the owner in the
form of rent increases or evic-
tions.
ln another section, they mailed
information to propeny owners
only, explaining that they would
be in their area doing exterior in·
spections. They asked the owners
to make appointments with the
officers if they wanted a voluntary
inspection of their property.
1Wenty-6ve out of 4-0 owners re-
sponded, but the majority did not
let the officers inside theff build-
in~
The least succ~ approach
was mailing information to ten-
ants and owners that described
the programs goals and gave con-
tact infonnation for inspection.
No one took code enforcement
up on this offer.
While the code enforcement
department didn't get the over-
whelming results it was looking
for, le was buoyed by 40 addi-
tional complaints from the target
area during the pilot program.
These came after the officers sent
out their information but were
not prompted by direct request.s
for inspections. They resulted in
the identification of n violations,
including hai.ardous plumbing
and fire hazards.
The pilot program cost about
$57,000 from code enforcement's
approved budget and didn't re-
quire the hiring of any additional
officers.
Mirna Burciaga. who was re-
cently appointed to the Parlcs and
Recreation Commission, said she
undersiands why some tenants
might be apprehensive to let
code enforcement officers in-
spect their units. She said she en-
couraged one of her own em-
ployees to alert code enforcement
to problems with her apartment
Code enforcement contacted her
landlord, who fixed the problem,
but the employee was eventually
asked to leave the apartment,

l also mentioned that a
friend recently gave me an
article about simplifying the
season. It's titled, "Why I'm
giving my children less this
year," written by Joyce
Maynard, and It appeared
in a past Redbook
magazine. The author
wrote about mistakes she'd
and mistletoe and fir. the memory of
chep woods, off'l!llaful hills, and the
mantling snow. which guard the
sleep of all God's creatures. I wish
that the spirit of Oiristmastide may
dmw you into companionsllip with
Him who giveth all OJme, let us
adore Him."
-a.SHOP REMINGTON
W e all know how many days
are left until Cluistrnas.
Some of us may still be
rushing around trying to buy just the
right presents. Many friends have
saJd how stressful it Is to think they
have to buy the greatest gifts,
decorate and dress perfectly, and on
and on.
One friend said sh e felt fra7.7Jed for
weeks as she listed all she needed to
bake, buy, wrap and send, and that
every time she crossed one thing off
her list, she added several more.
•1 know that Jesus Is the reason for
the season, but I'm feeling more like
Scrooge, and I'm snapping at my
precious young children," she said.
I men tioned that when our
daughters were young. we tried to
avoid too many gifts and glitz by
giving simply and then giving extra
to a needy family or organization.
For several years, we also had a
"Happy Birthday, Jesus" party, which
was a night when we dressed
casually, ate simply on trays by the
fire and sang Oui.stmas carols. We
didn't exchange gifts that night. but
we often shared a gift we would like
made in the past when trying 10
satisfy every want and need for her
children. She wrote about creating a
sense of wonder at Oui.stmas
without overdoing everything.
"Here's what happens when you
give a child 30 amazing gifts: None is
amazing anymore," the article says.
"They like them. They may even love
a few. But the specialness of any one
gift is diminished by the profusion."
She wrote that things such as
camp, computers or sporting gifts
were wonderful privileges for our
parents' generations, but seem to be
expected by many youngsters today.
She said that problems can easily
arise when we over-provide for our
children, and that it is more
healthful to meet reaJ needs more
than Lo meet every want.
She's right Laughter and love and
enjoying God's creation last longer
than a mountain of presents. 111ere
are times when less can be more and
simple can be more satisfying. May
we try to think more simply. and
may the true spirit of the season
draw us closer in connection and
communion with our loved ones and
with God.
You can quote me on that.

MA SSAGE
AT ISSQE: The separation of church and state is.an
ongoing debate in the United States. How might 'the
addition of a prayer period in public schools, or at
public functions such as City Council meetings,
affect a community's attitude toward religion,
regardless of one's faith?
"In God We Trust~
appears on the U.S.
bills in my pocket.
"One nation under
God" is pledged every
day. U.S. courts and
presidents taJte the
"Bible oath.· The
so-called separation of
church and state is a mere idea -
excellent when it is against a
state-endorsed religion, pitiable when
it is against religion Itself. Prayers are a
symbol of profound awe, respect and
love. Such acts only serve to enrich a
closer bond with our fellow man.
IMAM MOUSTAFA Al.-QAZWINI
Islamic Educational Center
of Orange County
Cos1a Mesa
For 01ristians, a cent ml goal is to be
praying always; ideally, prayer is less
something we do than it is how we
live. Everybody prays whether one
thinks of it as praying or not: The odd
silence you fall into when something
very beautiful is happening or
something very good or very bad, like
the "ah-h-h-h!" that sometimes Ooats
out of you as out of a Fourth of July
crowd when fireworks burst over the
water, the stammer of pain at
someon e else's pain, the slammer of
joy at someone else's joy, or whatever
words or sounds one uses for sighing
over your own life and loves.
These are all prayers in their way.
These are all spoken not just to
yourself but to something or someone
even more familiar than yourself and
even more unusual than the world.
Opportunities for prayer serve to
remind that we all pray as an integral,
inescapable dynamic of human living.
that we all honor symbols, beliefs.
values and practices focused on
bonom-llne questions of meaning (so,
we all have a Mreligion"), and that we
all have an ultimate focus, whether it
is a god of pleasure or success or
happiness or the God
of Jews and Christians
and Muslims.
Optional times for
quiet contemplation
and silent meditation
would provide
opportunities for
individuals to do ...
something along the
long continuum of the great variety of
things people do and the ways peoples
and religions pray. How we use such
times wouJd identify who or what our
God or god is, in what religion we
believe, and how we pray ... always!

I have enjoyed the privilege of
open ing sessions of the U.S. I louse of
Representatives and the U.S. Senate
with prayers invoicing the blessings of
God on the legislators and our country.
I have offered invocations at countless
council meetings and public sch ool
gatherings.
I affirm the separation of church
and state while acknowledging no
separation between God and country.
It is not so much a wall that divides
the two realms as a heavy cur1ain.
Religious life has never been d ivorced
from the political process. and

governmental neucrauty. In matters of
religious expression, has never been a
feature of the political landscape.
I am the rabbi of a synagogue that
enjoys tax-exempt status as a religious
institution. Our government is
officially on the side of God. affirming
Its faith in God, its reliance upon God
and the relevance of God's blessings to
America's survival and welfare. Despite
such a disposition toward religion, and
despite displays of religiosity in all
branches of government, the founders
wrote a secular Constitution in which
the powers and concerns of the
government were not to affect the
religious conscience of the individual
Victims themselves of Europe's
religious wars, they believed that full
religious freedom was possible only in
a secular state. I believe the public
school is a secular institution. A time
set aside for prayer to be recited in
such a setting is coercivl'.
When I offer a prayer before
Congress, It is uttered
before adults who are
present voluntarily. A
legislator who objecti.
to ceremonial deism
may enter the
chamber a fl'w
moments aft er the
opening gav('I for the
start of the business
day. Students. though, do not enjoy
such a luxury and are compelled to
either recite a prayer. distance
1hemselves from tl1e students who are
praying or remain silen1 while their
peers and friends are engaged in this
exercise.
Other than praying "Please let the
bell ring" or "Please let the teacher
grade on the curve," the serious
business of entreating God should be
left to the sacred precincts of the
house of won.hip. the home, or to any
setting In wh ich the worshipper feels
the need to engage in religious
devotion.

Prudential California's Steve
Rodgers sheds light on Realtor's
point of view
He addressed real estate managers at
recent National Association of Realtors
Convention and Expo In San Francisco
Steve Rodgers, President of
Orange County and Vice
President of San Diego Prudential
California Realty, shed light on
the Realtor's point of view in his
opening address at the Newspaper
Advertising Association of Real
Estate Managers during the
National Association of Realtors
Convention 8r Expo held
November 1 at the Moscone
Center in San Francisco. Rodgers
spoke to nearly 100 real estate
sales managers from all over the
United States. He foeused his
topic on the future of brokers;
specifically mega brokers,
medium brokers and small
Steve Rodgers brokers.
"The real estate agent is my
client. The real estate agent is your client,• Rodgers began. •Real
estate is a unique business in that we find ourselves working
with a client in their effons to get to the real clients -the
buyers and sellers of homes. You make money by developing
advertis:fng programs agents can purchase to enhance their
business.•
Rodgexs provided an overview of the nation's current
economic situation and its impact on the real estate industry,
based on information obtained from Leslie Appleton-Young, the
chief economist for the California Association of Realtors. He
stated that economic recovery in the United States is expected to
gain momentum in 2004, building on •moderate, sustainable
growth in 2003.• Rodgers moved right along, discussing
housing affordability. He noted the change that has taken place
and mentioned that as of July 2003, 55 percent of the people in
the United States could afford to buy a home. Homebuyers have
changed how they budget for their home purchases.
Rodgers also stressed the imponance of advertising in terms of
agents stimulating the marketplace. "In order to do this
effectively, we need to become partners. It can't just be buyers,
sellers, paychecks and numbers. We need to forge a stron.g
relationship built on you having confidence in us as real estate
people and us in you as newspaper people,• Rodgers said.
Rodgers beli~es the key to achieving this goal is based on the
ability to provtde benefits for both agents and real estate
companies
In regards to the ever-changing industry, •the Internet has
been a key change in the real estate industry." Accord.Jng to
Rodgers, •the real estate industry ts currently being fueled by
technology. The consumer doesn't want to buy and sell real
estate onllne. They want that personal touch, however they do
want lnfonnadon." Rodgers continued, saying "'Technology makes our Uves easier, but it doesn't change who we are. Real
estate ts about relationships. CUt through the hype of
technology an(f people are people. Technology will not replace
.relaUonship1 and it will not replace talent. I encourage you as an
Industry to know you will not be replaced, but you need to
embrace technology." Rodgers noted that Prudential CaUfomia
Realty was the first company in San Diego to offer a free Web
site to its agents. -Every signpost now has prudentialcal.com on
it." Rodgers added, •0ur job is to figure out programs that are
creative enough to drive value.• Rodgers continued by
challenging the audience of newspaper personnel to come up
with their own aeative solutions for the real estate industry.
"Our biggest fear used to be technology. We were afraid it was
going to replace the real estate agent. Now what Is happening ts
the real estate agents with technology are replacing real estate
agents." Technology ls no longer something to be feared.
Mergers and acquisitions are running rampant throughout the
real est.ate industry. "'Ille big boys are getting bigger," says
Rodgers. lo this industry, you have to be either very big or very
small. "lbe consumer wants a big brand wtth a big name, power
and money behind it with a small-town touch." Though Realtors
have done their best to
--------------fend off banks in their
7echnology makes our lives
easier, but It doesn 't change who
we are. Real estate Is about
relationships, w Rodgers said.
attempt to get involved in
real estate, Rodgers noted
that ftnandal institutions
have managed to seep
througil. ~are going
to be involved in the real
estate business in one
--------------fashion or another," says
Rodgers. 'There ts too
muc:h money involved to keep them out.• Rodgers also predicted
the emergence of an unknown entity. "l don't even know who it
ls yet, but they're coming. and in a very btg way." "That's why
we need to work together to constantly bring better advertising
programs to our business,• he added. -We need to help clients
get more bang for their buck.•
