I just want somelhing you don't see at the Hallmark store. This year, both objectives were met. as my kids grace the front of our card as sparsely-feathered birds. The fun doesn't stop there. We make hundreds of truffles that put Godiva to shame. This year, my family claimed membership in labor unions I hadn't heard of previously. Is it true that members of the "Spooner's Union" can't be made to roll, dip or package Lruffies? Once the truffies and cookies are made, ii ls lime for our annual spaghetti and cafOling party. (This year was No. 18). We didn't realize that movink the location of the drinks and appetizers would cause such consternation. Having holiday pasta inst;ead of spaghetti noodles caused way too much anxiety, as guests kepi asking where the Mreal noodles" were. 'n1ankfully, we stuck with the Lraditional red and green Jell-0 blocks. As our extended families have grown, we have added a row1d robin game to our festivities.

We end our holidays with a trip out of town the week after Olristmas. Last year, we saw adults dress up and sound like gophers and razorback pigs, smelled the rancid aroma of Jack Daniels' mash and searched for food not swimming in grease. This year, we plan to slip on the sidewalks, b'e fodder for taxi drivers and freeze our tushes off in Times Square. That week trWaY In the dead of winter reminds us of the great weather in Newport-Mesa, and that "there's no place like home." Signal snapshots met with approval GAY GEISER-SANDOVAL Costa Mesa Thank you for letting us share one of our family's holiday traditions. Every Olristmas Eve, my husband, Steve, and I and our two boys. Reed and Marty, attend the final performance of · A Ouistmas Carol" al South Coast Repertory Theatre. It's so wonderful. We wouldn't miss ii, and it really puls us in the Ouistmas spirit. We started attending when the boys were in elementary school, and they are both now in college. This will be our 10th straight yeai. JANET CALLISTER Balboa Island - AT ISSUE: TQe Pilot asked if Costa Mesa's red -light cameras, which have caught about 4,000 violators, were a good idea. Readers' reactions, for the most part, ·are favorab le. T hanks for your article regarding Costa Mesa's red-light cameras. I must admit lhat when they first appeared, I was very enraged that the city would stoop so low as to install the cameras that in my mind were primarily intended to raise city revenues, not decrease traffic offenders. However, it has caused me to pay more attention to the regular occurrences of vehJcles that continue to enter intersections after their Ught has turned red. My wife and I were even struck by another car that ran a red light a few mon ths ago. Since there were no witnesses, we had to foot the $500 deductible for our repair bill Had a traffic camern been installed in that intersecLion, there would be no question who was at fault. This incident and many other close calls have caused me to change my position on this issue. I think our city needs more of lhese cameras to help keep our streets safe from recld~ traffic offenders. BRIAN DEAR Costa Mesa They're an Idea whose time had definitely come. Many a time I've watched people race through intersections and wish . "Oh where's a policeman, where's a policeman?~ If the cameras keep people from running thro\.lgh those intersections, there will be many people who won't be injured and die in these horrible red-ligh1 running accidents. I also would recommend some cameras at the coroners of our neighborhood stop signs - especially around the schools. I watch soccer moms in their wt>an assault vehicles full of children running through the stops and endangering pedestrians, M well as cars coming from side atreets. I wish there were enough police ln lhe Costa Mesa and Newport Beach to get these people, especially In the Newport Helghta area, as they race their chDdreD toward school, b:reakin&IDI~ not setting good exam~r·the' • COMMUNITY COMMENTARY rest of the community. SHARON BOUDREAU Costa Mesa I think these red-lighl cameras are great and necessary - extremely necessary and mandatory. They should be continued and increased. with installation at othec major intersections. As the Dally Pilot pointed out, red-light runners is the cause of some of the most horrible accidents that any of us can imagine. Red-light violations are not j~ corrunon in Newport Beach but all OYer. When I drive, I'm nervous at intersections because of those people. Anyways, hopefully, this is going to reduce the terrible accidents that occur as a result of those fools who run those red lights.
