SCOOP 1beyknow how to pick • a winner Lido Isle couple Bob and Bev- erly Lewis have been fortu· nate to win the Kentucky Derby two out of tbe last three years. By tbe looks of their four· legged troops this year, the couple may have a fonnidable stable to make a run at the Derby once again. Bob Lewis wouldn't tip his hat on which.horse has the best chance to make the Derby, which is still more than four months . away. But he does have four horses that may make the grade. For all those keeping close watch of the races leading up to the Derby, the couple's top horses include High Yield, 'liibunal, Ora- tion and Commendable. With the luck and fortune, tbe Lewises have had with the Derby, consider this scoop more of a tip. HARD TIME wrrH THE HARDHAT During the groundbreaking cer- emony for the new Downtown Reaeabon Facility, spectators had to chuckle at Mayor Gary Mona- ban's inability to keep his hard hat on his head. As he shov- eled a divot of turf, Monahan's ceremonial hat rolled off his head into the recently dug ditch. He put it back OU. but seconds later, it Gary Mon~ popped off once again. ISOlATtD WITHOUT TtCHNOLOGY .. Last Thursday, it was hard to get in touch with Orange County Performing Arts Center education and community programs director 1\'oy Botello. No amount of pester- ing could provoke a response from the man, who is ordinarily quite good about returning calls. Toward the end of the day, the explanation emerged. A call from the flustered Botello spelled out the horror he had been experienc- ing.

They prayed for Sierra Soto They prayed for Brandon Wiener. Both children were killed on May 3 when 40· year-old Steven Allan Abrams plowed his car into the day-care center playground. Four-year- old Sierra and 3-year-old Brandon were fatally injured. Police said the motorist purposely gunned his car toward the school because he wanted to •execute" innocent children. The plaque symbolized confronting an immense loss, enduring the ensuing pain and mending broken hearts. Although the plaque measured 18 inches by a foot, the support of the community was enonnous. Hundreds ral- lied around teachers and parents who were devastated by an unforeseepble event. On Saturday afternoon, the community lthas been some time since the tragedy, and the plaque remembering the two tots has been sitting in a classroom. , But no one has forgotten. More than 100 people attended the ceremony where the plaque was unveiled.

The Greenlight Initiative Digging deeper into the ballot measure that could change-for better or for worse -life in Neruporl as we know ii Nc>aki Schwartz DAILY PILOT · A line dividing the city's leaders and its residents that has surfaced in recent months could solidify by the • time the controversial Greenligbt initiative appears on the November ballot. And as the debate over the proposed slow-growth initia· tive becomes more dynamic, the arguments on either side are also coming into focus. Residents fed VP with congestion want to stop traffic increases, and t9 them, the measure promises a solution. City leaders say the initiative won't stop congestion -but will choke future finances. And people on both sides are arguing the merits of the democratic system. Supporters say the measure is the epitome of democracy because it will reign in a develop- ment-happy council and allow residents to decide their city's future. But a self-proclaimed con· servative City Council believes The DAILY PILOT reexamines that it threatens one of the funda- a story that made headlines mental tenants of democracy - this ~k representative government. JOINING A BIGGER MOVEMENT This slow-growth or smart-growth philosophy is a move- ment that has spread throughout California. In the past five years, similar measures have already cropped up in Northern and Southern California. And by November, Newport Beach could be the newest addition. It's a movement that many supporters say is symptomatic of city officials having lost touch with their constituencies and having allowed urban sprawl to go unattended. Some of these initiatives, such as Save Open Space and Agricultural Resowces or SOAR in Ventura County, have been voted in. However, others like the Citizen Alliance for Public Planning -or CAPP -proposed in the San Francis· co Bay Area were rejected because they were too restrictive and would require residents to constanUy g<' to tbe ballot box. While the initiatives were similar in their efforts to slow g rowth, their methods were much different than that of the Greenlight measure. SOAR sought to create urban growth boundaries in which development could take place, and those boundaries could only change through a citywide vote. CAPP was more similar in that it set out a specific a.mount of development -in its case 10 homes -that would trip a public vote, but still cannot be compared to the much more I SEE CLOSER PAGE 5 nuggets of news and per- spectives for readers.

So the teens of · the Newport Beach Sea Scouts have chosen the sailor's way. ·u·s just a kick," said 18-year-old Sarah Hill. "We're doing what a lot of kids want to do." Hill, a five-year v~tfil_an of the scout program, offered through the Boy Scouts ot America, has become a skilled sailor -as capable on the water as she is on the land. Hill is the boatswain. or leader, of the 1iiton crew of more than a dozen girls. Not only can she navigate the 38- foot Thton, she can fix problems with the motor and make sure there is enough oil in the engine. Hill recently earned the title of Quarter Master, the equivalent of an Eagle Scout and the highest Sea Scout ranking. The scouts teach high school and college students about the a.rt of sailing and the science of boat maintenance. It is a chance for boys and girls to earn their sea legs in a structured program, said Mike Stewart, the skipper of the Del Mar, the 43-foot boys' sailboat. The local chapters meet twice a week. On Wednesday evenings, class is in session at the Sea Scouts Sea Base on Pacific Coast Highway. The lessons range from knot tying to nautical eti- quette to safety rules. During the sum- mer months, the study session is cut short for sailing. The students run the show, deciding what lessons to study, said Barbara Harada, the skipper of the niton. • 1 love to see them exercise their abilities as young adults and hone their leadership abilities," said Haiada, whose daughter, Ann Maris, is a mem- ber. "That's what this program is all about. They get to be the boss and have a lot of fun.• However, because teens get older and move on, membership sometimes ebbs and flows. Harada said she would like to add some more members to her crew of 13. The Del Mar, with only about half a dozen members, needs a boost, Stew- art said. He would like to double, maybe triple, his crew. Students between 14 and 21 can join Sea Scouts. No prior sailing experience is necessary, just a willingness to learn and a love of the sea, Stewart said. Saturdays are for sailing. It can be tranquil, sliding along the sea, said Hill, who 1s an 18-year-old student at Orange Coast College.

"Once you reach a couple hundred yards, a mile, off the shore, the water just becomes so blue," she said. "It's so pretty and sometimes we see dolphins and they swim along with us." It can also be grueling. . The constant crashing of the ocean, the saline sting of sea water and the relentless rays of the suh. When the waters get rough, the skills learned in the classroom kick in. It 1s a thrllling challenge to handle the boat in the middle of a stonn, sald Jim Larrenaga, a 16-year-old Corona del Mar High School sophomore. The members of Del Mar and 'lttton also do community service and work around the sea base, earning their keep·by dotpg chores. The Boy Scouts organization provides the boats, but no funds for gas or maintenance. The Sea Scouts relies' on donations to keep the program going, Harada said.

Terrance Plilps THE HARBOR COLUMN Tryi,ng to make the harbo,,:. a safer place For all of you who don't know · who I am, allow me to intro- duce myself. I've been writing the boating column Fridays for the past two years in the Daily Pilot's sports section. It bas been deter- mined that there is a great deal more to boating that just sport, and other harbor-related events. The other day, while walking into Wlbna's Patio diner on Balboa Island, I was almost knocked down by a herd of bikers wearing neon- colored clothing. Their outfits looked ridiculous. Then I thought about my week- end activity -boating. I chuckled when I related the biking attire to that of a typical opening day at a yacht club and pondered just who looked the most ridiculous. With blue blazers, white slacks, gold- braided hats, protocol, pomp and proboscises pointed upward, who are boaters to be judgmental? Alrigbty then. what's happening on this bay of beauty? Sheriff Harbor master Captain Marty Kasules estimates there a.re 9,000 boats that call Newport Har- bor home. That equals about 19% of the total residents living in New- port Beach. •or the 9,000 boats, I would venture to say only 8 to 10% are • interested in racing, sport or are commercial vessels -the rest are basically boats used for pleasure," Kasules said. With that in mind. it's reasonable to assume many of the boats are infrequently used and oftentimes piloted by less than experienced owners. Owning a boat makes you no more a sailor than having a piano makes you Horowitz. A lack of experience combined with an unforgiving sea: frequently spells trouble. The Sheriff's Harbor Departm~t is building a new facility, which : should be completed in March. "We are always trying to come up with programs that make boat- ing more safe. Education, demon- strations, guest speakers and open houses for kids are all helpful.· Kasules said. What's AFLOAT • WHAT'S AFLOAT runs periodically.

What to eXf)ed: Because many of the pending general plaii amendments -includ- ing the Newport Dunes hotel and Newport Center expan- sion -have been campaign slogans for the Greenlight ini- tiative, the measure is sure to be a topic of discussion, even if only by audience members.

I know the issue of John Wayne Airport expansion and the construction of an airport at El Toro has got to be the most intense issue for readers of this newspa· per. So, I can't help, but won- der, if someone is coaiing up with a way to combat the television commercial cam· paign spawned by. oppo- nents of El Toro from South County. The television spot that pops up on TV from time to time, I have to admit, is pret- ty powerful stuff. The com· mercial features the sound of a rather loud jet airplane with words instructing view- ers to call a certain number to stop the noise from El Toro. . What's ironic to me is the airport opponents have struck the same deep, emo- _tional anti-development, ahti-urbanization chord that the Greenlight fol.ks have done in Newport Beach, with their initiative to stop further development. Indeed, the anti fol.ks may have sensed that and have moved behind enemy lines. Right here in our own towns, the proponents of the Safe and Healthy Communities initiative, which if passed would in effect ground El Toro, have plastered the area with Yes on Measure F signs. I wonder 1f the El Toro r:=nents realize they are g some hard punches here and unless they strike back quick are going to be left with a big task of selling the idea that building a large airport won't affect quality of life ... JUSTTHE FACTS MA'AM Our police reporter Greg Risling gets to cover lots of ,:ourt trials and he gets to hear a lot of people say: "Not guilty." But recently Risling was the one telling me "I didn't do it." It all stemmed from a note we received from an avid reader of the Daily Pilot from Costa Mesa, only Identified as "Llsa. • Lisa took Risling to task for allegedly misspelling the name of actress Dyan 'Cannon and the tabloid The . .National Enquirer. First, Llsa is right in one regard. We have no excuse for getting those names -wrong and we promise to redouble our efforts to avoid · that in the future. But since the reader left no return address, I thought I owed it to Risling to tell her in this column that he is not the culprit.

Greenlight proponents said they did not base their initiative on any existing measwes. WHAT IS GREENUGHn I f the Protection From 1Taf- ftc and Density initiative passes, there will be a citywide vote on all develop- ments that would require a •major• general plan amendment. Major is defi,ned as creating more than 100 peak-hour car trips, more than 100 homes or more than 40,000 square feet of floor area over what the city's gen- eral plan allows. These thresholds do not apply to the city as a whole, but to each of 49 distinct neighborhoods, which all have a different history of general plan amendments. And this is where it gets really complicated. The wording of the initia- tive says that the measure is, in a sense, retroactive. It requires that 80% of the changes to the general plan during the last decade be added to the numbe,rs of a proposed project to deter- mine whether a vote is required. Because each specific area is so different, the end result is that a developer could build 40,000 square feet of office in one area without a public vote, but a project consisting of 200 square feet in another area would need a citywide vote. And, once any of the thresholds are maxed ·out m any of the 49 specific areas - virtually any development would require a vote. Allan Beek, a Greenlight proponent, is so far the only person who has trie4 to add up all of the city's general plan amendments from the last 10 years, which is infor- mation needed to apply the cumulative rule. to new developments. According to his research . . -which he admitted wa not perfect -seven areas of the dty already exceed one or more of the measure's thresh- olds. They are: Old Newport Boulevard (traffic, square feet and homes); Santa Ana Heights, (square feet)1 New- port Center (traffic and square feet): North Ford Road (traffic, square feet and homes); the airport area (square feet); Corona del Mar Hills (square feet); and Boni- ta Canyon (traffic, square feet and homes). This means that as future de'/elopment needs crop up, )'esidents could face sifting through tomes of planning and environmental reports for each prospective project, said Councilman Dennis O'Neil. This time-consuming job is now handled by the Planning Commission, a gro\,lp of appointed citizens who spend hours combing through the reports. Commission Chainnan Ed Selich said that just for the proposed Dunes Hotel pro- ject, he has already spent 40 hows reading and research- ing environmental docu- ments, another 50 bows in meetings and hows simply preparing for discussjons. Opinions on what to do about the Mpreceding 10 years" provision are divided within Greenlight, the group of community activists that wrote the initiative. Spokesperson Phil Arst said he won't mind the fre- quent voting. But Beek said he hopes that the City Co~ cil will fix this through lan- guage in the initiative that allows the city to adopt guidelines for implementing the new law once passed. However, City Manager Homer Bludau said because the cumulative aspect is such a fundamental part of the measure, the City Council simply can't •fix" it by adopt- ing an implementation guideline as the proponents suggested. · TRAFFIC TROUBLES T he biggest reason thousands of residents signed the Greenlight petition is because of the promise of a solution to what they believe is a growing ' traffic problem m lhe city. Both sides agree that the sources of traffic are resi- dents driving to and from their homes and businesses, commuters who drive through the city on a daily basis and tourists who come for the dty's beaches and large pleasure harbor. While the measure, by stopping development, could freeze the traffic from resi- dents and businesses, it does not address the other two sources. And while the perception ai.nong residents' activists clearly is that traffic conges- tion in Newport Beach is out of control, others argue that, compared to 'most cities in the state and even the coun- ty, traffic here is a breeze. . Another argument agamst the notion that Greenlight will put the brakes on traffic is that developers could sim- ply take their proposals to an adjacent city and build there. Newport Beach would not get any of the tax money, but would be stuck with the ever- increasing traffic problem as people will un<foubtedly always drive through the city. Beek said at least the ini- tiative would address one element of the problem. He said the city could deal with the increasing traffic in a number of ways. including keeping narrow streets to discourage' commuters or building overpasses to ease the bwden. However, the question remains: Where woula the money come from to pay for roadwork if there is a morato- rium on development? Among other sources, Beek suggested state money. DISRUPTING DEMOCRACY1 T he red nag citY leaders have been waving is that the measure dis- rupts the democratic process or elected government. O'Neil argued that he hires state and national rep- resentatives because he doesn't have the time and may not have the back- ground to make educated legislative decisions. Vice mayor Gary Adams added that residents already have the right to overtwn council decisions they don't agree with thro~gh the referendum process. This measure would com- pletely change the way New- port government operates, and whether that is a bless- ing or a,d.isaster depends on who you talk to After a pro- ject goes through a lengthy review process and gets the stamp of approval from vari- ous city boards, including the council, it would still have to go to a public vote. Combining land-use deci- sions and politics could also compromise the process, say others, as each potential development could tum into a political campaign. City officials worry that this factor and the potential for voting on countless devel- opments could discourage the electorate. Arst, however, argues that residents could get their information from city govem- m~nt, the Gre~nlight group and the media fls opposed to pouring through technical documents. They could weigh the various arguments and then make an informed decision, he said. Another concern Newport Beach officials have is that the city could be sued by potential developers because or the disputable language of the initiative . Initiative proponents argue that a developer would never undertake the extra expense of taking the mea- sure to court. However, busi- ness sources say a lawsuit could be a more appealing route for a developer than shelling out cash for all of the required environmental stud- ies an.d risking a public vote. The studies alone can cost anywhere from $50,000 to $350,000 said Planning Director Patrica Temple. ·u (Greenlight) passes, the city would have to bud- get a huge amount for litiga- tion. It would be challenged constantly," said architect Rush Hill. And while it is too early to tell whether Greenlight will mirror the path other initia- tives have followed, lawsuits have surfaced on those mea- sures. In one Ventura County case, the group that actually wrote the measure sued in an effort to block a development from going to a public vote. GREENER PASTURES? N either city officials nor Greenlight activists have a crys- tal ball to see just how the measure, if passed, will affect the dty. City leaders say because or the heightened time and money developers would have to go through to even get a project on the ballot - campaigning, expensive studies and the extra tilite - many could be discouraged from even proposing a devel- opment. That could include existing, growing businesses that contribute to Newport's economy -Pacific Llfe, Conexant -. moVlllg out of the city because Newport Beach can't meet their expansion needs. Arst however, claims that developers interested in the benefits of building in New- port Beach won't be deterred by the extra costs. . City officials also predict that a dwindling voting pop- ulation, contused by a deluge of information, will simply vote against everything. This could put a moratorium on development and cut off the city's revenue sources, they fear. · While this wouldn't affect city services for some time, inflation, a cyclical economy and a choking revenue stream will eventually force staff to cut service levels, offJ- cials said. But Greenlight supporters argue that city expenses should be cut, any- way. · And while chasing devel- opers out of town may sound like a good idea now, officials say a serious consequence of that mentality will be the continwng decline of older neighborhoods in. the .qty.to. ·For example, rebuilding an area such as Lido Marina Vil- lage takes a giant commit- ment and cash flow without having to worry abounaking the project to a public vote. •This measure plays up to people's short-term interests, but the impacts will be felt long terrn," Adams said.

"There were some rough times,• said Gan, a four-year starter who was named captain by Coach Joe Wortmann his sophomore year. "We had so little scholarship money, the players had to sell T-shirts to help cover travel expenses.

After two years, 11 months and 46 wins at the Pit, Vanguard Univer- sity's women's basketball team finally lost at home on Saturday. The streak-buster was Golden State Ath· letic Conference foe Biota, who came in and sbot 53% to pull off the magnanimous 91-76 upset of NAIA Division l's No. 10 team ·To tell you the truth," Vanguard Coach Russ Davis said, •we don't really care about the streak. We'll just have to try to start another one with our next game.• •That's probably the be t they played all season long. My hat goes off to Biola. They didn't come out mtimidated by our home court." The last team to defeat Vanguard at home was Pt. Loma Nazarene on Feb. 25, 1997, and 1t took an 85-84 overtime win to knock off the Lions. Of all the teams that marched into Vanguard's Pit smce then as the hopeful spoiler, B1ola was an unlike- ly candidate to ~. espec1ally by 15 points. The Eagles had a 5-12 record coming in. With a· 3-3 conference record, Riola (6-12, 4·3 in confer- ence) needed a win to have stay afloat in the race. ' But Biola's Eagles came out smoking, shooting 53% m the flrst half and hitting 6-of-14 th.ree-pomt· ers. That's actually worse then the second hall, where Biota shot 57% from the field. Vanguard (16-4, 5-2) led (or the only time at 5-4, 3:15 into the game. Then an 18-6 B1ola run·doubled its lead to 22-11, and the margin stayed constant the rest of the way. "You can't give up 91 points and win,• Davis said. Biola p1dced holes in Vanguard's defense the entire game, finding open shots plentiful. The Eagle started the second hall hitting their first six field shots, inquding a truee- pomter and a three-pom.t play That coincided with Vanguard's best SEE LIONS PAGE 8 Dawoport IDIU'dies Into ........... 118 atAullUll- I""' I• <) I • I ' . _8~Mondar--~·~Jo_nu_ory~2_4~,2_000 ______ ~----~~~~--~~~J>()l{fS~--------------~------------~-·Do~i~~P-itJ1_J, ESTANCIA CONTINUED FROM 7 transition, and R.J. Salo made two easy basket for Santa Margarita to give it a 51-49 lead with 1 :20 left. Cantrell then missed a three-point attempt and San· ta Margarita got the rebound. Collins put up a three-point atteUlpt at the other end and missed, but he got· his own rebound with 39 seconds left, forcing Estancia to foul him'. The Eagles then had to keep fouling and hope Santa Mar- garit;,l would miss free throws, which didn't happen. - Estancia 's starters scored all 49 points. Jason Simco, Steve Rodriguez and 'li'avis Chandler scored four, three and two, respectively. This is Estancia's sixth loss in its last eight games. •This is a quality team,• Boyce said about his squad, "besides being 0-4 in the Pacific Coast League. But these guys deserve better. We just have to go out and play hard the rest of the way.• OeBusk was also impressed by the opponent which gave his team a scare· on Saturday. "Estancia was the better team tonight,~ he said after the game. ~They played very bard. Give them credit." to«>NLEAGUE SANTA MARGAltfTA 55, EsrANOA49 Score by ~rten S.
