Dffpa lhar.th DAILY PILOT NEWPORT-MESA -Gory tales of coyotes attacking pets are piling up in the community. Particularly bit by the problem are residents who live in the Back Bay area where coyotes that inhabit the ecological reserve find several points of entry leading into residential neighbor- hoods. This year, several residents say, has been particularly problemat- ic and that the attacks have been more fre- quent and have hap- pened in areas wbere coyotes were not all that conunon over the years. But contr~ to popular opin- ion, both Costa Mesa and New- port Beach officials say this year is no different from any other. Newport Beach officials say it is a problem that has plagued most of the city fol"years. None of the city's neighbor- hoods, except maybe West Newport, is immune from these wild, yet inaeasingly wban beasts that prey mostly on small domes- tic pets, acconling to Eric Metz, Newport Beach senior animal control officer. Costa Mesa resident Heidi Hansen recently lost her black cat, Bootsy, to a coyote attack near her Mesa Verde North neighborhood. Hansen said she was shocked, disturbed and upset when she found the cat, which was named for her white boots, decapitated and skinned in Moon Park about three days after she was missing. Coyotes are a relatively new issue for her neighborhood, Hansen said. ·1 have lived here for 36 years,• she said. •And we have never had this problem.• Not so, city officials say. According to Costa Mesa animal control officials, coyotes have been regular visitors at Mesa Verde Country Club's golf course for several years. Hansen says she is upset she was never informed about the coy- otes, but Costa Mesa Police Sgt.

Lolita Harper DAILY PILOT COSTA MESA -The Job Center. Those three words cannot be uttered in Costa Mesa without sparking a heat- ed debate, fueled by a decade of built- up emotions on both sides of the issue. Those three words are on today's City Council agenda. Seemingly quiet for the past few years, discussion of the Job Center resurfaced during Councilman Chris Steel's 2000 campaign. which ignited a new desire to rid the Westside of the city-funded bub for employment. "The council needs to get the vision and the courage and the common sense to get rid of the Job Center once and for all,• Steel said . • )iowever, staff has recommended to keep the Job Center, but increase the fee for nonresident employers. Current - ly, the center does not ask for proof of residence and charges the same regis- tration fee of $5 to all employers. The fee for nonresidents ~ould be increased to $10, a staff report read. and those without proof of residence should be charged the higher fee. The report estimated that 37% of the employers who use the center come from out of the city. But Richard Grisham, who lives in Anaheim and takes the bus with fellow workers to the center, thinks the oty's numbers are too low. He said his employers come m from all over Orange, Los Angeles and River- side couoties. Once, a trucldng CQIJlpa- ny hired him for a job for a. couple of weeks across 38 states, he said. That is one of the many problems with the Job Center. Steel said. Costa Mesa taxpayers are funding a seM.ce that benefits mostly people from out of town. Both the people looking for work and those offering employment come from across dty borden, Steel said. Steel said the center bas excellent staffing and was created out of good SEE DEBATE MGE 4, A friendly and consoling voice from a familiar war Zone a: • ,.. ______ 1 .. s ~-I PHOTO COURTESY Of TED MER£00l4 The P.T.

Joe was homeported at Balboa from 1946 to 1955. Boat number PT 695 (P.T. Joe) was built by the Annapolis Yacht Yard Inc. of Annapolis, Md., in 1945. Plans and specifications prepared in England by the Vosper Co. were used. , Sbe was 72 feet long, with a 19- foot, 2-inch beam and a draft of 5 l feet PT 695 was powered with three : Packard gasoline engines of about 1200-horsepower each. These engines could drive the boat in excess of 40 knots. PT 695 carrted 3,000 gallons of aviation high-octane gasoune. Her armament consisted of four torpedo tubes, two twin 50-caliber machine guns, a 20- millmeter gun, depth charges and a smoke screen generator. Eight men and two officers manned he r. The boat was built for the Russian Navy under a lend/lease agreement. She arrived, as deck cargo, at Los Angeles Harbor at the time of the Japanese surrender al the end of World War a. PT 695 was offloaded and her armament removed. WHAT'S AFLOAT • WHATS AR.OAT Is published periodically. If you are planning • nautical event. submh the information to the Dally Pilot. 330 W.

Last week presented events that probably changed our lives in how we view the world. The marine world bu been greatly affected, with closed harbors and most boats remaining dockside rather than getting underway. Well, nationally, the planes are starting to fly on a limited schedule, and the boating indJJStry is looking to determine where it stands. 'lh>ubling is the question of bow this will directly affect the marine industry, as most people will refrain from buying boats and going on vacation for a while. How long it will last is anybody's guess. So, the marine industry in Newport Beach and the workers here will feel the effect. I hope that by the time of the Lido Boat Show at the end of this month that people will at least get out to view the show and chat with all the vendors. Following up my special column that ran Thursday (•Newport Harbor is secure from terrorism•), I have the updates. Long Beach and Loi Angeles harbors are still under high port security; thm, expect escorts and pos- sible inspections. Seal Beach that leads into Huntington Beach is being randomly clOled at times, and New - port Harbor is under increued IUJ'Veillance, but boating is open. Farther south in San Diego, every vessel entering the harbor is being check ~ eccording to my tOUrces, the Navy is very active u half the fleet has Wt the docks. Normally, about three quarters of the fleet ii ill port. Also, be care- ful when transiting below Dana Point, as the Navy will be conducting maneuvers off Camp Pendleton. Currently, the boat shows and vendors a.re very con- cerned with terrorists attack. How do we as a nation and industry recover from such an event? One theory is to get back to normal life as soon as possible, but the reality sets in that that will be quite difficult. How do we do that? Well, go boating and remember that recre- ation is the No-. 1 relaxation for your family and friends. • • • Speaking of reluing, have you heard about the proposed Nea.rshore Fllhery Management Plan drafted by the State of California Department of Fish and Gamel A plan must be_; adopted by Jan. 1, 200~ ~ required by the Marine IJfe Management Act. Public comment ls vital to help for- mulate a plan for the Pllb and Game Commission. Pro- poled are a series of altema· M11ce WhitMlead THE HARBOR COWMN tives for managing the fish- ery such as harvest control, catch liIQit, regional man- . agement, protected areas and nearshore restricted areas. This plan, if not prop· erly written and implement- ed, can restrict fishing whether commercial or recreational in most areas directly off our coast. The question is: Do we need more management m the ecosystem with the proper studies or data to support such extreme restrictions? It appears that the plan I reviewed was excessiVe in restrictions as to where one can fish and the listed numerous species. Yes, I have no problem pro- tecting a species that might be dwindling in numbers, but to radically close areas to all species seems extreme. As you know, once a plan or law is put in place, it is Ulllally impossible to change or cancel that plan but often it only grows. •This tax is only temporary,• sounds familiar. I encourage every- one to review this plan available at some county libraries, marine and harbor offices, Sea Grant offices, Fish and Game offices, and on the Web at http://www.dfg.ca.govlmrdl nlmp. • • • This week, the Boathouse TV Show has a new sales director, Chris Beckner, who can be reached at chrls@boathouaetv.com.

WHAT TO EXPECT The City Council will have a rehearing on the church's master plan as a result of the church's objections that previous condi- tions placed on it were a violation of its religious freedom. Neighbors of the church have consistently complained about noise and traffic problems caused by the church. Lighthouse Coastal Community Church was the site of the horrible tragedy In which two toddlers were killed In May of 1999 when an emotionally disturbed man Intentionally drove through the playground of a preschool. The council will consider numerous options regardrng vending trucks, including limiting the number of permits issued, rewording ordinances to change the hours of the trudcs' legal operation and increasing the fines for violating ~ose rules. Some residents have expressed problems stemming from the pro- liferation of vending trucks in areas throughout the city. They contend the trucks cause noise late into the night and contribute to the "blight" of the Westside.

"But I don't think we've done it at least in the last couple of years,· he said. ALWAYS I PROBLEM In and around Newport Beach, residents feel the coyotes are getting more and more brazen and brutal in their attacks. Barbara Demmocks, a Santa Ana Heights resident, said her baby emu was killed by a coyote two weeks ago. •we see the coyotes all the time,• she said. •Just over the last two weeks, we've lost our emu, three chickens and two roosters.• Demmocks said coyotes have always been a problem for pet owners in the Back Bay. "We know this is coyote territory,• she said. "But the last six months have been worse than usual.• Sightings and evidence are also very common and ahnost an everyday occur- rence, she said. "We saw a coyote last night.• Demmocks said. •And there were rabbit remains in our garden three days ago.• But she added that she is not in favor of killing the animals. "These coyotes are just being coyotes,• she said. "They're doing what comes naturally to them. Unless they overpopulate too much, I don't think killing them is such a good idea.• JUST ANllUlS?

At least two women who lost their cats talked about the heads being cut off as if their pets were part of some Satanic ritual. But officials were quick to discount that possibility. Metz said that is how coy- otes devour their prey, by feeding on the organs and leaving the rest of the car- cass behind. According to officials in both cities, coyotes are found in all areas of Orange County. They do not require wide open spaces to survive. For generations, they have lived and survived very well in urban areas. Though they are not tame animals, they are very com- fortable living physically close to human beings. They are not afraid and are often seen trotting along a few feet of joggers, bikers and horseback riders. They have been known to attack human beings on rare occasions and those usually happen only when they are attacked or provoked. R~ently, a 3-year-old Mis- sion Viejo boy was attacked by a coyote in a public park. Several animal control officials believe the best form of offense when it comes to coyotes is defense. Eradication or relocation of the urban coyote is not effective, they say. Experts believe that these types of programs actually provide a sort of vacuum in habitats and actually cause these animals to have larger litters that ultimately increase their population. Also, by trapping or killing the older coyotes, communities are left with the young ones that are not skilled hunters and tend to attack domestic pets. The older and wiser possess the skills to hunt animals in the wild, such as rabbits and rodents. LOOKING FOR FO.OD Local residents, however, continue to live in fear of los- ing their pets.

After rallying from a 17-10 third- quarter deficit to top Cypress, 42-17, in the season opener, CdM saw a 34- 13 fourth-quarter lead-evaporate in a 34-34 tie with l\"oy Saturday at New- port Harbor High. 5 ·we got a sense of prosperity • (against the Warriors),• CdM Coach Dick Freeman said. •I think the worst thing that can happen to our team is for us to be ahead.• Freeman said there was a trace Saturday of the intensity be saw in his players against Cypress. "But the dimmer switch was down a little,· Freeman explained, •we just didn't have all the electridty we needed." Contrary to his postgame reection, Freeman said lroy's comeback was due not as much to a lack of condi- tioning on his team's part. as a failure to make defensive adju.stµients. ·w e let the same thing happen to us all night long,• Freeman said ol lfoy's blocking scheme, which helped produce 284 ground Y'fds and all five Warrior touchdowns. ·we di~'t adjust, so they just kept getting better and what they were doing (offensively) and we just kept getting worse.• freeman, who coordinates the defense, was happy with his team's offensive production. ·1 was happy with the way we Mustan~ cover tilown Judgement call WestJJiinster airs it out; broken ankle sidelines Costa Mesa wideout Hunter.
