Lolita Harper DAILY PILOT COSTA MESA -The city has won a victory in its fight to force the notorious Panther Palace to shut its sex parties down. More than a year after the city filed a lawsuit against the club's owner, 73-year-old Gordon Oliver, an Orange County Superior court judge bas ruled that the club was operating in violation of city codes when it charged an entrance fee to the swinger par- ties that took place behind its front door and in its backyard. Oliver declined to comment Saturday, but Panther Palace neighbors were more than happy to talk.

He called 911 and tried to resuscitate Sweet but said be did not have a pulse and that bis breathing was 1rregular. Sweet was pronounced dead at Hoag Hospital less than an hour after he collapsed. Initial autopsy tests proved incondusive and officials said they were going to perform addi- tion.al tests to determine what exactly caused Sweet's death. Costa Mesa police also arrested a local motel manager after a four- hour standoff Wednesday when he allegedly locked himself in his office when he heard the owner was coming to fire him. Officials arrested Brooks Alan Reedy on suspicion of grand theft, embezzlement and preventing a police officer from doing his duties, police said.

Most of the time, if the foot on the accelerator happens to be yours, you won't even know you've been caught red-handed, red-footed, whatever. But just days later, you'll get a citation in the mail, inviting you to pay $271, or more. Worse yet, you'll also get a nice picture along with the <itation -actually, a number of pictures. One will show your worried-looking face behind the wheel (no one has ever run a red light by accident) along with inserts of your license plate, and the exact position of your wheels at the instant the light turned red. If you're tempted to toss everything in the cir- cular file, the citation carries just as much weight as one of those old-fashioned, hand- writtep ticket things. •Ahal• you say, with an air of self- satisfaction, •What if that's not me behind the wheel?• Please.

The law says you shouldn't expect much priva- cy when you are in a public place. Let's say you head for the mall. The next morning, you're reading a story about shopping until dropping and, gasp, there you are. There you are in the picture beside the story, radiant as ever, smack in the middle of a pod of mall moles, gazing in a store window. So goes the world, the law says. U you don't want to be seen in pub- lic, stay out of public places. But Photo Cop is a different story. This isn't a camera aimed at a bunch of people, includiiig you. This camera is aimed exclusively at, well, you -close-up, full frame, looking tense. To some peo- ple, that's a little too Orwellian for comfort. The latest court challenge was against San Diego, which has been using red-light cameras for about three years. Just this week. the court gave the city a dean bill of health and said, •Yeah. this is different, kinda sorta, but this is an important public safety issue, and let us remind you once again, dudes, that these are public streets you're riding on.• The actual ruling had a little more legalese in it th4n that, but . that was the gist of it. Even though Photo Cop systems in other cities, like IIVine, were ready to start snapping months ago, most have been marking time waiting for the San Diego rul- ing. 1 am a frequent visitor to one of the photo-ready inter- sections in Irvine, at Barranca and Alton parkways, and I must say, it's pretty effective. When one sees that big glass eye staring at one from above the traffic light, one does think twice about trying to beat the light And thars a good thing. Let's be honest about this. All of us push the envelope on red lights and stop signs now and then. But this red-light thing bu gotten out of hand in the last few years. If I'm the first car in line when red eye turns green. I have programmed a two-second delay into my right foot. and I don't care who beeps at me.

EDITORIALS ; , Couilcil shoUld. · move carefully on response plan T he Newport Beach City Council last week unveiled a ten- tative new policy that shows both promise and potential problems. The plan, suggested by May- or Gary Adams, would give the council and staff five minutes to respond to remarks made by audience members during the public comment period of coun- cil meetings. The idea, Adams said, is to be ~responsive to answering people's questions." In that respect, it's a promising one: Government should be respon- sive to its constituents, nowhere more so than at the city level. Clearing up misunderstandings or just providing a resident a bit of information -a phone call to get the full answer, perhaps·- should be the goal of public ser- vants. Adams also said the policy is •not intended to be a debate.• And that's where the idea could run into problems, but not because of the potential for the council meetings to degenerate into juvenile bickering. It's because giving the city-both elected leaders as well as paid staff -the final say is a chilling precedent, one that would stifle comments from the audience. The five-minute response time also bas open-meeting law implications. The state's Brown Act, which governs public meetings, allows ortidals to respond briefly to public oom- ments. But whether five min· utes 1s truly brief, especially compared to the three minutes audience members get, is high· ly questionable. City Atty. Bob Burnham, who agrees that five minutes would- n't be considered brief in this case, said he does not expect 8Ilyone to abuse the response time. But there is a great divide between expectations and potential abuse. And so dty leaders, if they decide to go ahead with this plan, should lay out aystal clear guidelines that will keep a worthy idea from turning into a city-sanctioned bully pulpit One way to do this would be to give the mayor five minutes to respond to all the comments made. As the dty's symbolic leader, the mayor could gather the necessary intormation from staff or other council members and deliver them to the audi- ence. Doing so would create.a responsive government that also is responsible. School district. gains deserve to be noted W hen schools do well, everyone should be proud.

CoMMiJNnYr· FORUM SEAN HllilR I DAllY PllOT Ready for _tough issues County Supervisor Jim Silva, a lifetime resident of Orange County, adds Newport Beach to his district T ough issues don't scare Jim Silva. The I luntington Beach resident and two- tenn 2nd Distnct county supervisor became embroiled m the worst municipal bankruptcy in history one month into the job. Before that, he handled some of Huntington Beach's toughest issues as a councilman and mayor -the July 4 riots, sewage spills and, of course, the long-running Bolsa Chica development. With that re$ume, handling Newport Beach problems should be a piece of cake, right? Well it may not be that easy. Still, there were great sighs of relief when it was announced that Silva's district, which now encom- passes Costa Mesa, would grow southward and swallow Newport Beach as well. The biggest reason he 1s be ing welcomed with open arms? Well, that is easy. For the last five years, Newport Beach has been repre- sented by the anti-El Toro 5th Dis- trict supervisor, Torn Wilson. While Wilson has been hailed in some quarters for his work on coastal water-quality issues, that wasn't enough to endear him to Newport Beach folks who see the expansion of John Wayne as the greatest threat to their quality of life. Last week, Daily Pilot Editor Tony Do~ero sat down with Silva 1n his office in downtown Santa Ana to discuss his new assignment and his plans for Newport Beach and how to tack.le its biggest issues. Wb.at wtll you bring to Newport Beach residents that your predeces- sor didn't as county supervisor? I am a lifetime resident of Orange County, and I have a long history with the city of Newport Beach. I am very aware of the traffic problems, especially since I live less than a quarter of a mile off Pacific Coast Highway in Huntington Beach. How dlWcult will it be to get Newport Coast included in your terrttoryf We didn't find out until Monday ... that we had to vote on the final district map. We were told pribr to that that we would be able to make adjust- ments. I consider the Newport Coast to be an adjustment. and I would very much like to have that in my district. The attorneys have given us hope, but we're not 100% sure. But if there is any possibility at all we'll do it. U the Great Park lnlttattve does make 1t on the ballot, what will 1t take to defeat tt1 I think the stakeholders that want the airport will have to become actively involved. Not just the resi- dents of Newport Beach, but the pas- sengers at John Wayne that are tired of paying in excess of $500 to fly round-trip to Sacramento. U U wins, does that effectively end any plans for an airport at El Torof If so, what will the county dot If the initiative wins, the way I understand it, it will overtwn Mea- sure A and an airport will no longer be an option for the county. The county would have to exit the process and let the surrounding cities take over the land. The county can't afford to build and maintain a park. The county still has close to a billion dollars from the bankruptcy that we have to pay off.

Eight tailbacks are in contention for the starting role and as many as three fullbacks, including Newport Harbor 'High product li'avis Tumble, are vying for the first spot on the depth chart as ~ Pl.rates began the '01 season with an ;lntersquad scrimmage Saturday at !OCC. After the scrimmage, both starting :J><>sitions are uncertain as just about ~ery runner displayed what they bad ~offer. f Tailbacks Leonard De Roche, Niles · 1Mittasch, Jared Kemp, Brandon Hanis, aandy Gaither and Dao Hawkey certainly brought their share to the table. "We have four or five good players,• OCC Coach Mike Taylor said. "Kemp 'stepped it up and looked pretty good today. Hawkey looked really good. We just need to get better and stay hungry and go through our season week by week." Offensive coordinator and running backs coach Sean Ponder told the backs that the tailbaclc and fullbaclc positions are still open. but the depth chart will be decided after the scrimmage with •Santa Monica, Aug. 31. De Roche, 5-foot-10, 210 pounds, ran with the first team Saturday and 1 broke off a big-gainer on bis second carry. He ls a downhill-type runner who bas fullback experience and uses that 1 to bis advan'tage.

"We all add a tittle something to the game,• De Roche said of the tailbacks. •Randy Gaither, be is is a quick guy and stnootb guy. Me and Brandon {Hams) have the same kind of style ... I don't know. It's going to be a dose battle. I think the Santa Monica saimmage is going to bring the show in us out." Hanis, a short, stocky runner (5-7, 95 unds). pounded bis way to a ard touchdown early in the age. wkey. who is 5-11 182 pounds, ed bard runs toward the end of scrimmage. He continued to pump bis legs and spin out of tackles even after the whistle was blown. Mittasch, an all-state running back -from Oregon is perhaps the darkhorse in the mb:.

COSTA MESA-Opening Day for the Cost.a Mesa Pop Warner Football league included a variety of happenings behind the scenes, the background to the scrimmage games with Huntington Beach at Costa Mesa High Saturday. In its quest to return to the old- school lessons of the game, Costa Mesa Pop Warner began its season with a unique brand of bard work, not just by the players, but from volunteers, coaches and cheerlead- ers. While the helmets crashed. parents worked the snack bar and silent auction booths. The Costa Mesa Must.angs rely on fund.raising to pave the way for football game sites, unifOl'IDI or any other needs. The )eegue bas grown almost 50% this yeer, president Susan Rice said, ... and so there are more costs. "The 9-t<>-and 11-year-olds. all of sudden they're coming out of the woodwork,• Rice said. "They want to play football. The sad thing is we don't have the field space to accommodate them. Unfortunately, this year we've had to cut back on registration. We're hoping the city can help us out and give us more room somewhere." RJce also said the silent auction results as a major factor ln the fundraising. Ann Marie Boulger and Tenilee Stevenson arrived to open the silent auction booth at 9:15 a.m. They each have a son who plays for the league. •1t gets to be real bedic right when we're about to close,• Boulger said.
