Shannon, Megan, Richard and Oaire. SHANNON EUSEY Newport Bt'ach One more time, here's the problem AT ISSUE: The safety and usefulness of red-light cameras in Costa Mesa. EDITOR'S NOTE: Due to a tm11scription error. these comments on OJsta Mesa's red-ligllt camems were printed incorrectly on Friday's Forum page. I don't like the new red-light cameras, and here are w me of the reasons why: At most signals, when a red-light runner is pulled over, the officer will talk to the driver and ask why they ran the light. During that questioning. the officer can determine if the driver is drunk. has a medical problem and he can also run a check on the driver for warrants or see if the car is stolen. None of this can be achieved by taking a photograph of a car. And. when an officer issues a ticket, it's to the driver -who may or may not be the car's registered owner. Most cities use radar enforcement to stop speeders. This too, is modem technology, but there is officer involvement. which I believe is better than a camera. I think these Big Brother cameras give a false sense of security that all drivers will now stop for red lights. I have seen drivers speed up to beat the camera's flash. and I have set>n them slam on their brakes when the signal turns yellow. This i~ very unsafe. Again. I strongly prefer the human element and effectivenes..' of police officer involvement, but if the city must stay with this camera concept. they should at least rethink where the citation moneys go. How about expediting the repairs of our community screets so drivers can concentr.ue on traffic signals instead of dodging polholes?

IC Dally Pilot Sarurday, December 27, 2003 A9 FAITH THE MORAL OF THE STORY Holiday songs and hymns bring joy to the world "Shout for joy to the Lord. all the earth. Worship the Lord witl1 gladness; Come before Him wit II joyful songs." PSALM 100:1-2 powerful and the words are worth reading and rereading: Joy to the world! The Lord is come; Let earth receive her King; Let ev'ry heart prepare Him room, T here are many songs that I love to sing and hear throughout the year, but at Ouistmas there are carols that I especially enjoy. I like some more than others, and I can even tire of some of my favorites after hearing them repeatedly in December. CINDY TRANE CHRISTESON And heav'n and nature sing, And heav'n and nature sing. And heav'n and nature <>ing. Joy to the earth! the Savior reigns; Let men their c;ongs employ: Beside& all the well-known Christmas carols, there are also wonderful hymns that r love to sing throughout the year. I read that in centuries past. singing hymns was an important way to teach Oiristian truth to people who were mostly illiterate. Hymn-singing was and is much more than a way to communicate knowledge. It is a wonderful way to exprcs& our love and praise to God. a deep way to worship our Heavenly Father. One hymn I especially like is "Joy to the World!" Some carols seem a bit slow and others have a range of keys that I can't always reach. but it seems 1hat everyone perks up and participates joyfully in singing that hymn. I always thought that the f>Ong was a Quiscmas carol. but I read that Isaac Watts based this famous sonK on the last half of Psalm 98, which celebrates the coming of the Lord to judge the world in righteousness. In that psalm, all crea1ion is called to sing and shout for joy at hif> CQmfog. The hymn doesn't specifically mention 01ris1's birth. but that doesn't maner to me. It celebrates the incredible involvement of God with his people. beginning at the stable 111 Bethlehem. God gave us an amazing gift then that is worth singing about and celebrating throughout the year. I can'1 even write abou1 the hymn without humming it. I am including the song, because the mes!>age is While fields and floodlt, rocks. hills. and plains Repeat the )Ounding 1oy. Repeat the sounding 1oy. Rt•peat, repeat the sounding joy. No more let -.ins and l>Orrows grow. Nor thorn~ infest the ground; I le comes to make I lis blessings now Far as the curse is found. rar as the cur~e is found. 1-ar as. far as the cuf\e ''found. I le rules lhl· world with truth and Krace. J\nd makes the nations provl' The glorielt of His righ1eouo;nes,, And wonder-; of His love. And wonders of His love, And wonders. wonderi. of I lb love Watts lived from 1674 to 1748. I imagine he would have been am:ued to know how much this hymn wouJd be sung and loved. Whether we !ling this \Ong at Oiristmas or other times during the year. God has brought his joy to the world! And you can quote me on that. • CINDY TRANE CHRISTESON 1s a Newpoo Beach resident who speaks frequently to parenting groups.

Home Inventory If you were ever to lose any of your possessions due to fire, burglary, or vandalism, having a home inventory can help you avoid a lot of heartache and make it easter when filing an insU.rance claim. Start with a sheet a paper for each room in the hoUJC. Go around the room and list every item. Don't fo~et the attic, basement or other storage places. For each item, write the original cost, purchase date, replacement cost, model number, brand name, where purchased, and a general desaiption. In addition, take photos or video of each room for visual documentation. It is also a good idea to mange valuable collections, silver, jewelry, etc. and take dote up photos. Keep a copy in your home files and the originals in a ft.ieproof safe or safe deposit box. Make sure you update your home inventory photos and list at least once a year. Organizing your home files may take a considerable investment of time inJtially, but it will deftnitely be time well spent 1n the event you need the documenu later on.
