At their meeting NEWPORT ldst Tuesday, New- BEACH port Beach's elected leaders decided lo hold orr on a proposal to add an extra layer of reVlew to new homes on the village's bluffs. Planrung commissioners had come up with the idea after sever- al property owners had submitted pldns for houses that would cover most or the bluffs on their lot. A city policy calling for the preservation of the bluffs has been on the books since 1988. But so far, there's no way to prevent property owners from going ahead with constructing their pro· posed mdnsions. Residents, who would be affected by the new rules, vehe· menUy opposed the proposal, say- ing that the move would take away their n ghts. Some council members agreed that city officials shouldn't mterfere, but a majonty voted to at least study the issue further The proposdl now returns to the Planning ComnusSJon, which will try to come up with guide- lines for reviewing projects. -~ Winkler covers Newport Beach.

A HOT TIME ON THE WEmlDE Heated debate about the city's COSTA MESA Westside marked the Citizens for the Improvement of Cos- ta Mesa's first general meeting Tuesday. Some residents vented their frustrations about problems they said were getting worse, while oth· ers said they think many improve· ments have already been made. The group, which favors ideas such as using eminent domam to create more expensive housing on the Westside and cracking down on illegal immigrants, gathered names and phone numbers of community members interested in helping and plans to put volun- teers with similaI interests into working groups. Possible committees would be one to work on eliminating vending trucks from the city, one to improve the Westside for children, one to raise standardized test scores at the schools and one to rezone the bluffs from industrial to residential. On Thursday, the Costa Mesa Sanitary District board. voted to require residents to use standard- ized trash containers, which the district will provide for free. The board has been working on the program for three years and will vote on new trash regula· tlons to accommodate the trash cans Monday. -Jennlfw Kho covers Costa Mesa.

The issue is not without con- troversy. Some people are worried that that they won't be able to move their can if it's too big. My black can moves quite easily, but trash and the disposal thereof is a very personal business. Dragging cans from side yard to curb, curb to side yard, is almost exclusively a male activity, assuming there is a male available for such dragging. We hunt, we gath- e r, we drag.

The ideal trash experience tor me is to be balf asleep or, better yet, in the shower, when I hear the roar of the truck tu.ming onto our street. That gives me exactly four minutes to throw something on, hurtle down the stairs, burst through the door and drag my can to the curb.

Few were surprised to see the success of the 65-foot sled Ragtime despite the steep com- petition she faced from the newer sleds, as the vessel has the distinction of having won more races than any other boat in history, according to Zimmer.

The Newport Harbor Nautical Museum organizes the massive trash pickup effort, which ran from 8 to 11 a.m. Marshall Steele, chairman of the event, said he assigned cer- tain parts of the harbor to groups like the Newport Junior C hamber of Commerce, Fullerton and Irvine high schools, the Boy Scouts and the Girl Scouts. Residents of Udo Island also cleaned up their area, and k.ayakers went into the Upper Back Bay to pick up debris. The Balboa Merchants Assn. took over the Fun Zone area and a dozen boats also went out into the harbor to catch floating debris. Organizers said that after every good rain, the San Diego Creek overflows and everything settles into the bay. After everyone was done col- lecting trash, the volunteers gathered at the Nautical Museum for crafts, exhibits and named Pikake was the first to cross, but the all ex-military aviator crew's jubilant cele- bration was cut short when their skipper and friend Clyde Childress had to be rushed to the hospital Saturday just after noon. . Crew members said that be suffers from back trouble and may have mixed bis med.lcations. Crews from all 26 classes continued to bickle in all day Saturday and were expected to continue coming in as late as more beautiful than black cans, but the animal part is an excellent idea. One of the main reasons l got my big black can when they first offered them was the critter problem. Again, my trash was never at the curb long enough to become part of the food chain for the local menagerie of crows, cats and dogs, but the side yard was a hub of feeding activity. Like much of Mesa Verde, in our backyard nighttime IS the right time for possums and skunks. It is truly amazing how dever our fuzzy little friends can be when it comes to prying open trash cans and seeing what's for dinner. In fact, my closest encounter with the neighbor- hood fauna occurred in my very own, run-of-the-mill side yard. ln the near-black of night, I turned the comer with yet one more plastic bag of trash, only to find a small, black dog standing on its hind legs, leaning on the side of my can. l was just about to hot dogs. Bill Hamilton, owner of Malarky's Irish Pub and founder of event, started the cleanup as a way to get the community involved in the har- bor. Now he said he just cooks up the hot dogs with the rest of his family. "The harbor just got so dirty and messy on the waterfront, we had to do·something, • said Hamilton, a Newport Beach res- ident who was once the head of the Marine Division within the Chamber of Commerce. "This is preventa tive medicine. Hopefully one day we won't have to have these cleanups. People need to know that even if they throw trash in the street in lrvine, it's going to end up in the Newport Harbor.· Steele said that thanks to efforts such as the cleanup day and education about keeping the watets clean, the harbor is much cleaner now than in past years. He said a few years ago, word got out that the harbor was cleaner and fewer people were coming out for the cleanup days.

I . 8 Sunday, April 29. 2001 Daily Pilot EDITORIALS / Protect bluffs ·and property rights as well S o far, since last November's election, the Newport Beach City Council has done a good job of listening to its constituents, who spoke most dramatically and clearly when they passed the slow- growth GreenlighAhltiative. In fact, complaint.s--ebout an unresponsive council helped fuel the drive to place restrictions on future growth in the city, making it clear to mos t that the new council -which added three members in Steve Brombe rg, John Heffe rnan and Gary Proctor -had to change its ways, especially when it comes to-planning and deve lopment. Simply put, the City Council needs to stop letting the character, look and feel of the city slip away. Doing so, of course, is not so simple, as illus- trated by the council's debate last w eek over a Planning Com- mission proposal to require close revie w of new building on Corona del Mar's bluffs. Competing beliefs in the importance of prope rty rights and the need for environmental protection clash ed as council members tried to decide w hether the review would be fair to homeowners and consis- tent with city regulations. In the end, they sent the proposal back to the Planning Commis- sion for more discussion, miss- ing an opportunity to make a strong statement about how Newport Beach will look in the coming years and decades. That statement does need to recognize the rights of home- owners, who are paying mil- lions of dollars to buy land in Corona del Mar. But limitations on how large those new mansions can be are not unreasonable, and property rights can only extend so far before they infringe on the rights of others -namely those neighbors who are still in the bluffs small, old bungalows. The crafti.rlg of this state- ment, by virtue of the council's action, is now back in the hands of the planning commissioners, who should be applauded for tackling the issue in the first place. They now sh ould not hesitate to recommend to the council a Clear, precise and fair policy on handling new home construction in Corona del Mar. Let the Mormon Church make its pitch first W hen the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints recently announced its plans to build its first Orange County temple in Newport Beach, one couldn't help but e voke visions of the temple off the Interstate 5 in La Jolla. A large white edifice remi- niscent of Disneyland's Slee ping Beauty castle, the temple is hard to miss while driving to San Diego. Newport Beach Planning Director Patricia Temple -no pun intended, of course -says the city's Gree nlight initiative will not be a problem, and there will be no limit as to how big the temple can be built. That's great news for the church. However, church and city leaders should still be wise to the city's needs. Whereas the 60,000-square- foot temple may w ork lo La Jol- la. it would more than likely stick out like a sore thumb in Newport Beach. It would appear the church is well aware of this and will certainly make that a factor in determining what will be built. A spokesman for the Orange County branch of the Mormon C hurch said the temple being considered would be smaller than the 30,000-square-f oot Bonita Canyon Road church. That comment alone should bring a sigh of relief to Newport residents who would prefer something smaller than the La Jolla temple. While the church d oes have large temples in West Los Angeles, La Jolla, and in its home base of Salt Lake City, officials seem quite aware that Newport Beach is a spedal case in which a conservative temple should be erected. We look forward to watching this story untold, and we urge those or skeptical n ature to await the church's pitch patient- ly, and with an open mind, before making any judgments. COR.ONA. r/e,/ MA~ Bl.Vl=~S : Zt:>I O Length of boat parade could be shortened The people of Newport Beach are continually obliged to accept the congested brunt of the New- port Harbor Christmas Boat Parade. It is a wonderful event for young and old, everyone loves it, but why does it have to be seven days long? The seven days only serves lo dilute its importance. 1 know the local business looks forward to this event because for many it is of great financial importance. There are probably only four days of heavy participation in the parade. Very few participants go out every night. My point is that a more condensed boat parade would equally serve the people . If the parade were shortened to five days, we would accomplish the same thing without loss to com- merce or viewers. Bill SHAW Balboa Island There•s only one reason why Fish Fry has died Excuse me.

The truth of the matter ts a nice lady, I'm sure, tripped on a curb and hurt hersell.

I, of course, have no idea how severe the damage is. However. logic Lells me financially to figure about $2,000 to set the ankle and possi- bly $1,000 in therapy. The other $77,000 will no doubt go to the lawyer, minus the court costs. If the lawyer was ethical, he would refuse to take the case. If the Y{oman would analyze the issue, she would find that this was not the F'Lsh Fry's fault. This was not OCC's fault. This was not the curb's fault. And since you can't sue gravity, it's the woman's own faull. And who should suffer? About 65,000 residents, kids and the charities that are desperate for the donations.

It is not a part of the park, since there is no access except at Placentia and it is bisected by the main stonn channel. In my opinion. the only possible reason the city can have to fix that which is not broken is power wielding, and we could use the state funds for better purposes. JUUE S.

A lawsuit filed by an Irvine resident, who claims she suffered injuries after tripping on a curb at O range Coast CoUege alter stopping by the Fish Fry, made it impossible for the college and the club to reach agreement over who would be responsible for similar, future incide nts. Scheafe r is no stranger to the limelig ht. As a city parks commissioner, he resigned last year over the way the city was handling plans for a skateboard park at Charle and Hamilton streets.

AT ISSUE: The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has proposed building its first Orange County temple in Newport Beach. T he re ls a n ch excitement m the air here in our small part of God's kingdom. We, as members of the church, are anx· iously anticipating the building of a house of the Lord in this beauti- ful city. I know I look forward to the day when 1t stands and mem- . bers and nonmembers alike can see its beauty and feel its sweet spirit of peace, love and hope . The new temple can only have a wondedul effect on the area. Both the temporal and spiritual impact is one of a tremendous blessing. To have a place deslg· nated as a true house of the Lord where the simple truths of God's plans and gospel are taught and the gift of eternal marriage and . eternal families are given can only be a blessing. The beauty inside and out will only add to the already beautiful community we call home here in Newport Beach and in lbe sur· rounding a.reu. t sustain ln the affirmative those words of my friend Ben Ora.ff, who 1n your arti· cle stated •Jt ls a great blessing for the people here.

Readers RESPOND The residents of Newport Beach -thousands of whom also happen to be Latter-day Saints -will have the benefit of a beaubful, peaceful addition to the commuru- ty. U you have had the opporturuty to visit the grounds of the Los Angeles or San Diego temples, they have beautiful gardens and provide a quiet, re flective atmos- phere. Whether or not you are able to enter the temple, you can still appreciate and enjoy the sur· roundlngs there. For Latter-day Saints, a temple is a sacred and holy place. For those who take the opportunity to visit the temple, it provides an opportunity for prayer, meditation and learning. Each temple has inscribed on the exterior •House of The Lord, Holineu to The Lord· to show the significance of the temple. Just as the temple was a holy place in Jesus Christ's time, the temples today are holy and provide wontlerlul blessings of peace and understanding to those who attend. I look forward to going often. JONATHAN HARMER South Coast Metro 1 am not a Mormon, but I am proud to have many friends of the Mormon faith and I share their excitement at the news of Newport Beach being selected for the lite of a new temple becaUle I under- sta.l'ld how very important and holy the temple ii in a Mormon's life.

All a round the world, religious intolerance on a daily basis is a source of violence and unrest. Mohandas K.

ITCHING UP WITH ••• After almost nine years in the major leagues, he's now retired from baseball and playing full-time role as Mr. Mom. Richard Dunn DAILY PILOT H UNTINGTON BEACH -Along with all the mothers dropping off and picking up their kids from school is fonner major leaguer Rich Amaral, the first batter in the history of Jacobs Field in Cleveland. AmaraJ, the oldest rookie in the major leagues at age 31 for the Seattle Mariners in 1993, retired from baseball last month after almost nine years in the big leagues and 18 professional seasons. "I'm trying to be Dad of the Year,• said the former Estancia High and Orange Coast College standout, who, these days, dnves tus four children to school and even sits in their classrooms. , ·Every now and then I see another dad,· said Amaral, who has enjoyed the transition of on-the-go major leaguer to full-time husband and father. ·rm just trying to do all these things I haven't done in 18 years. I've been .gone every summer the last 18 years. but now I'm going to enjoy the summer at home," added Amaral, whose immeclJate plans with his wife, Michele, and kids include ski and camping trips this summer. "I'm just doing as much as 1 can with the kids. Three of them are playing baseball and I'm helping out in coaching for all three tedmS. •Also, I'm just kind of looking at different things l want to do. I'm trying to figure out something, (but) I do not know what l want to do. I'm just Rich taking my time in trying to figure that out.· Amaral's children (Beau, 10, Jessica, 7, Joseph, 6, and Daniel, 4) fill the three-car garage at their Huntington Beach home with baseball gloves, bats and balls, while the inside is touched with detail and exquisite fwniture. Upstairs is an office and baseball shrine, which stores most of Amaral's memorabilia, and three beautiful bedrooms, including a master bedroom with a view of Palos Verdes and bathroom seemingly as large as a major league clubhouse. "I can't believe this is my house . It's just unreal,~ Amaral said as he walked downstairs, humbled by the riches a major league career can bring. Perhaps the most eye-catching baseball-related item in the house -aside from a broken pinball machine from the Seattle clubhouse -is a color photograph with a wide-angle lens of the first pitch at brand new Jacobs Field. with Cleveland's Dennis Martinez on the mound and Sandy Alomar Jr. behind the plate. "The first pitch was a foot outside, but they called it a strike,• Amaral , said. ·1 followed the ball all the way into Alomar's glove. He caught H, then quickly underhanded it back to the dugout (for keepsake). I thought, 'Hey, am I a part of thls (game)?' • Amaral later played with Martinez in Seattle, and the veteran right-hander would always wigwag his finger at Amaral in the clubhouse and say with a big smile, "You and me, we go down in history as the first pitcher and hitter at Jacobs Field.• There was no retirement "announcement• for Amaral and there will be rfo election into the Baseball Hall of Fame, but good friend Jeff Gardner (EstandA. OCC), also a former major leaguer and now a minor league . manager, orchestrated a retirement party rn<:ently for "closure" on Amaral's long career. "We talked about all the fun times we had. It was neat to do that,• said Amaral, whose big league highlight was playing on the 1995 Mariners, who won the American League West Division title after a one-game playott with the Angels, then beat the New York Yankees in a thrilling five-game divisional series, coming from an 0-2 deficit to win three straight games at the Kingdome. "That was an unbelievable year for the Martners and the city or Seattle: said Amaral, who still follows the game closely, looking each morning at the box scores and seeing how his buddies did the previous night. Amaral, 39, signed a two-year free-agent contract with the Orioles in December 1998 after eight years with the Mariners. In 2000, injuries took a toll on Amaral, who was released by Baltimore. then signed to a minor league contract by the Atlanta Braves in August. He played his last game with the Class AAA Richmond Braves on Sept. 4, 2000, against Norfolk in the International League before 4,719 fans, a far cry from the 5? ,000-plus rans the Mariners would draw in September 1995 during their improbable stretch drive to the AL Championship Series against the Indians. This year, Amaral stayed in shape • for a possible job opening, but the phone didn't ring and the veteran utility player, who came up to the big leagues as a second baseman, called lt a career. He finished with a .267 llf etime betting average with 11 home runs and 159 RBis in 727 games. He also bad 106 stolen bases with a season-high of 25 in 1996. • Pirates' stellar season ends on down note in state finals. :s-.vtrgen •DMYftll.OT , LONG BBACH -Simply put. the .
