The center boasts a great location - on Newport Boulevard with direct free- way access -and 192,000 square feet of leasable space but currently has five vacandes, said manager Tom Estes. But since it opened in 1992, the center bas lost major tenants like Ralphs Gro- cery store and Sfuzzi restaurant. Ralphs was replaced by a successful Whole Foods, but after a few short-lived tenants ,the large comer lot that used to house the popular restaurant remains empty. ·we've had some leasing and tenant retention problems,• Estes admitted . Parking is the center's biggest prob- ~ Jeql, Abbs $aid.

Mapp;,ng the harbo~ · bottom is helpful A hoy. The Army Corps of Engineers SUIVeyed spedfic areas of the harbor in June to tabillate the chan· nel depths for seven chan- nels (entrance, Corona Del Mar bend, Balboa Reach, Harbor Island Reach, Udo Isle Reach, 1\lm.tng Basin and Balboa Island's North Channel). The new table was print- ed in the Oct. 9 Local Noti<:t! to Mariner's issue 41/01 to update your charts. The con- trolling depths a.re from sea- ward in feet, calculated at mean lower low water (MLLW). There also is a caveat stating: ·consult the Corps of Engineers for changes subsequent to the above information~ (referring to the table). Looks like 4 .9 feet is the lowest spot listed, which is the right outside quarter of Balboa Island's North Chan- nel that ranges from •.9 feet to 7.8 feet, with project dimensions of 10 feet at MLLW. The other surveyed channels range between 8.8 feet and 19.3 feet, with all a.reas having project dimen- sions of 20 feet at MU.W. It is very apparent in these figures that the harbor does need dredging to main· tain just the set dimensions from the corps.

June CHagrande DAILY PILOT BALBOA VILLAGE Road work begun this week on a stretch of Balboa Bo'ule- vard marks the start of an $8- milllon improvement project likely to continue into 20<M. The City Council on Tues- day approved a nearly $3.3- million contract with GCI Construction for the first phase of a three-phase pro- ject of major work, which will include a 35-foot tower at the northeast comer of Palm and Balboa Boulevard. Work crews have closed off the north side of Balboa Boulevard between Adams and Main streets. ·we've already had some traffic control issues there and they're going to continue.· said Bob Stein of the city's public works department. Within days. the parlong lot area next to the pier will be partially closed to accom- modate equipment and work, and it will remain closed unW I about Memorial Day. About 250 of its roughly 660 spaces will be kept available for parking until the lot reopens with 718 spaces. When crews have finished work along Balboa Boule- vard, the sidewalks will be refinished with a diamond- pattem surface and new trees, planters and light fix- tures will be some of the first visible elements. Before fall 2002, Pier Plaza will boast one of the most striking elements of the improve t project: a wave pattern concrete walking s ces. •And now there's going to be another way out of the parking lot there,•. Stein said. Speohcally, cars will be able to drive from the parking lot, around Pier Plaza and direct- ly onto Main Street. After fall 2002, the second phase will begin diamond resurfacing of Main, Wash- ington and Palm streets south of BaJboa Boulevard. By fall 2003, residents should also see one of the boJder •- ments of the ptan -between ,A Street and Adams, oc.n- front will be bnbued with three colors of glass and mother of pearl. "It will be very colorful," Stein said. Streets north of Balboa Boulevard, including Wash- ington, Palm and Bay, will get \ resurfacing beginning in fall : 2003. When this fin.al phase ii ; complete, a 35-foot walk-: through tower will lead • pedestrians to a mini-park • with landscaping, trel.llMa • and seating. City planners 1 are still considering designs for the tower. • •rt will be a little park -a · community gathering area - that's going to have a little bit • of the pavilion feel,• Stein said . · Peninsula Park also will be : refurbished in the final phase , of the work. Financing for the project comes from community devel- opment block grants, and off-: street parking and gas taxes. About $2 million is expected to come from certificates of participation, which are basi-, cally bonds. Stein said.

It's an unusual distinction.• Most of the pumpkins be carves are Atlantic Giant pumpkins that can weigh 250 to 350 pounds. Each one takes Valladao about three hours to carve. Valladao gets his pump- kins from a variety 9f sources; the ones be grows on bis 2· acre yard in San Jose, from bis uncle's yard in Half Moon Bay, and from Tom Borchard, a grower in Salinas. The latter were used Sunday. One of Valladao's favorite "I just like it because I like to draw,• Zapata said. Valladao wanted to reflect America's patriotism and encourage Americans to move forward following the Sept. 11 attacks wtth the two pumpkins he carved Sunday. •If the pumpkin's shape is elongated, then it will have an elongated nose,• Valladao said, dressed in a pair of orange overalls and a straw cowboy hat "Each [pwnpkin) is different; it's whatever works for that particular pumpkin." Carving giant pumpkins began 16 years ago when Val~ ladao carved one for a Sacra- mento area country club that was so impressed that it asked him to do another one. With careful hands, carver Mike Valladao cuts a groove In an American nag and eagle design on his pumpkin. designs were the two faces of presidential candidates George Bush and Al Gore that he carved during last year's marketplace festival. •People need to get back to business and get the country going to where it's supposed to be gomg, • Valladao said. SQUARE CONTINUED FROM 1 the store they want.· Abbs said. Triangle Square is a desti- nation shopping center - meaning it was designed to have stores that attract specif- ic customers, who come for specific reasons, she said. It is not a shopping center where people are expected to walk around and shop like South Coast Plaza, Abbs said. Therefore, customers grow frustrated when they can't Valladao was growing them in his Sacramento yard at the time and decided to make the best use of them. "The pumpkins weighed find the one store they need and don't come back. Abbs said the management is working with graphic artists to redesign the directional signs in the parking structure and try to make it less confusing. In addition to a confusing parking structure, the center has too much competition, said Costa Mesa Planning Corrunissioner Bill Perkins. ~1 think they need to rein~ vent themselves to be able to compete with Metro Point and the Irvine Spectrum,• Perkins said. Estes said Triangle Square more than I did at the time. I just carved them and went on from there," said Valladao, a product manager for a soft- ware company. Known internationally, Val- ladao and his pumpkins have appeared in Japanese news- was the first to invent the c;on- cept of a large, outdoor plaza mixed with retail, restaurants and entertainment. "Spectrum, the Block at Orange and Metro Point all came along and imitated our style," Estes said. In order to compete, Trian- gle Square is offering tenants more identification from the street. A large sign advertis- ing the various businesses will be placed on the major street fronts, Estes said. "Right now, people have no idea who we have to offer,• Abbs said.

When asked about all the acclaim, be said ·I guess Abbs hopes the signs will also help stores cross promote each other. For ex.ample, if people come specifically for a movie at Edwards 8 Cinemas, they may notice the sign for the Yard House and plan next time to have dinner and a movie. 'Ittangle Square will also target more tenants like the Yard House in order to trans- form the current food court into more of a restaurant plaza. Food courts give the impres- sion of grabbing something on the go and are usually found in malls, Abbs saici .Because lh· angle Square does not consid- But on Sunday, all eyes were on the eagle. Noah Delcore, a 4-year-old Fountain Vally resident, came dressed in a green and gold dinosaur costume and was all smiles after watching Valladao cut out some more pumpkin er itsell a mall, the food court design is not effective. "We want people to decide to eat here before they get here,• Abbs said. With the large, open plaza on the top floor -where the Yard House is located -the center could host live bands in the common court yard and become a popular nighttime destination, Abbs said. ~we have a stage here already set up,• Abbs said. "And if we could fill this space here, they would liave a prime location on the patio where their customers could listen lo music,• she added while pointing to the empty space that once housed Sfuzzi's. Estes said he bas a very hot · . tenant who bas restaurants in Los Angeles and is very inter- ested in renting space at Tri- angle Square. Estes would not release the name of the prospective tenant •Nothing kills a deal quicker,• he joked. The third major goal Abbs hopes to accomplish is to involve the community more at the center. The outdoor plaza has the capability of holding various (iommunity programs and events, she said. Because their target market is the residents of Costa Mesa and Newport Beach, it is only fitting that those Bra the people who should reap the benefits of having ll:iangle Square in their neighborhood, Abbs said.

Brinkley's message finally comes across, but not before Tars build 10-7 halftime deficit. a.rry fMtlkner DAILY PILoT NEWPORT BEACH-CooUnuily bas been a leading factor in the Newport Harbor High football program reaching the CIF Southern Section . J '~ . ~ --:::. ~ - '-.:" •, Division VJ Wle game five rl the pevious nine seasons. Sometimes, however, complacency can come with repetition and the coaches' continual reminders not to take opponents lightly may have, however unwittingly, began to fall on indifferent ears last week. So, down, 10-7, against underdog Laguna Hills Friday night at Mission Viejo High, Sailors Coach Jeff Brinkley decided to pepper some spirited verbiage at those same ears in the halftime locker. room. "It was the first time all year I was a little upset with them at halftime,· said Brinkley, whose passion for taking one game at a time is older than every one of h1s players. •It really goes back to the fact that we want effort.• Brinkley said. ·u we're giving a great effort and somebody can whjp us anyway, that's the way it goes. But my reeling was that we weren't giving the kind of effort I thought we should." There were, as usual, some minor strategic adjustments. But Brinkley credits the biggest reason for the Sailors' 20-10 come-from-beliind victory, erasing the first deficit the team has faced all year, with an adjusbnent of another kind. "It was more a matter of attitude adjustment," he said. "It's tough, sometimes, to get kids ready to play every week. Sometimes it takes the reality of a situation like Friday night to hit them. Maybe we were lucky enough to have learned that lesson and still come out of there with a win. Sometimes, those lessons come after you wind up on the wrong end of the score.· Fortunately for the Sailors, they were able to score on their last drive of the first half, to gain some confidence, then drive 80 yards on 14 plays with the second half kkkoff to cut into the confidence Laguna Hills had earned with a strong start. "(The Hawks) played well and did a nice job,· Brinkley said. "In this (Sea View) league, every week is a battle, especially when you're the team that is ranked high (No. 7 in Orange County and No. 2 in CIF Division VJ) and undefeated (7-0-1, 3-0 in league). It's like I tell the kids,· everyone is going to come in with their hair on fire, ready to play us tough. When (the Hawks) made some plays early, they started believing they could play with our guys."
