Although some of Ridge- way's comments have caUJed some, and even us, to wlnce a blt, we must admit he has a point worth pursuing. Greenlight leaden told us ln November that among the many reasons they objected to the Koll Center expansion was the claim that it would create jobs. The jobs, they say, would not be Newport Beach JObs, so why should Newport Beach support that? That's Rldgeway's pomt. whether you agree with tus del.tv- ery or noL He too womes tus city will become an island or fortress that is oblivious lo the world around 1t, while at the same lime ngiclly opposmg any growth or development within it. With Newport Beach leaders m the middle of crafting a new general plan update and vision- mg process, we believe the time couldn't be better to Usten to Rideway's arguments. We can't have an honest and thorough debate without all the ideas on the table. And, as Ridgeway points out, everyone needs to be invited to sit at that very table to ensure Newport Beach bas a vibrant and bright future. Yet another boat parade compromise W ell, Is everyone happy? They should be -at least regarding the 2002 Newport Harbor Chnstmas Boat Parade. The Newport Beach C hamber of Commerce announced last year that 1t would scale back the S.th annual event lhls Decem· ber, decreasing the amount of days from seven to hve and shortenmg the route That way, boaters would remam interested throughout the route, the cham- ber conte nded. But the changes to the route drew fire from n!Sldents. many of whom watch the parade each year from the11 waterfront homes Then. the news came earlier this week that yet another chang has been propc>Md. The chamber. wtuch will play host to residents on Wednesday to dis- cua the late t plan, suggests the amount of days remain at five, but that the route take two differ· ent cours . On three days. It will remain shortened. and on Friday and Saturday. It will return to Its pTeVk>us. longer version. The changes were made, again, to appease u many resi- dents living along the route u possible. Residents along the West Udo Channel and the tip of the Balboa Pen1n.sula are exclud- ed In the shorter route, but will enjoy tbe parade for those two key nights. Both Friday and Sat- urday will be prime for their parade-viewing parties. But, as always, It turns out that a few residents are stlll unhappy. Alter all, the first day of the parade -the third Wednesday of December -will till be bort- ened and will leave out homes along the West Udo Owulel and the lip of the peninsula. Those residents1a.rgue that the first day of the event ls tbe best day for viewing. However. the chamber and its commodores club has mad a wise and thoughtful compromiH that should pleue ell since every- one -as before -will still be a part ot the parade.

They were getting much too flexible in the ocean storms and wind~ We,re stiffening up the piers to their origi,nal structural integrity. • LlowdDllltmt Newport Be.ch Pubtlc Works Department • PIERS CONTINUED FROM 1 effectively gutted and refinished. The process is expected to add 20 ye.us to their lifespans. The biggest part of the job, said Uoyd Dalton of the Newport Beach Public Works Department, is replacing the concrete decks on eech pier. •The old pier surfaces were bro- ken in a lot of places,• Dalton said. •They were getting much too flexi- ble in the ocean storms and wind. We're stiffening up the piers to their original structural integrity.• Crews have tom up all the con- crete on which tourists, visitors and fishermen have walkefi since the piers were young. By Wednesday, pouring of the new concrete was finished on Balboa Pier and just beginning on Newport Pier. ln a task involving about 30 workeJS at once, a hose carrying just-mixed cement ran to the end of the 1,032- foot-long Newport Pier from a cement mixer parked on the shore. Cement will cover the wooden deck that serves as the under- skeleton of the 24-foot-wide pier. ·The deck will be all brand-new concrete,• Dalton said. •Jt makes it stronger and also improves the look a great deal.· This new surface will definitely make the most noticeable differ- ence on the Newport Pier. But on the Balboa Pier. an even more salient improvement is on tap. The corroded metal pipe handrail run- ning the 919-foot length will be replaced with a new wooden handrail. •That's going to be pretty strik- ing,· Dalton said. Beneath the piers, some less- striking but no-less-important work 'has also played an important role in the $2.7-million renovation project. Pilings rotted with time and weak: ened by powerful waves have been replaced and reinforced, along with the steel attachments that hold them together. Another major change also com- bines functional and aesthetic improvements. 1rencbes running along the westerly side of both piers will hide utility lines from view, while giving workers better access to the electricity, gas, water and phone ~ces they carry. When the bdlk of the work on both piers is done by the end of March, and when Ruby's reopens on the Balboa Pier and l'fewport Pier Seafood Company Restaurant reopens on the Newport Pier, a new chapter in Balboa history will begin. •These are pretty significant changes,· said Jim Fournier, local historian and brains behind www.talesotba.Jboa.com. The piers, he said, have been central to We on the peninsula since their first incarnations. The Newport Pier was first built in 1889 as McFadden Wharf. Seventeen yea.rs later, a companion -the Bal- boa Pier -appeared on the hori- zon to its west. At Us peak, McFadden Wharf was the site where 550 shipa each year unloaded lumber and stocked up with local goods like produce AIOYI Waldo Robles 1111ootbel om f:relbly poarecl concrete on cleck'"9 of Balboa Pier, where moments before tbe crew of 20 mowd ID controUecl cMoe.

Then, in 1939, a summer storm wiped out the the wharf and the Balboa Pier. •They both bad to be completely rebuilt,· Fournier said. •But it's commonly believed that McFadden Wharf was in the same location as Newport Pier, which replaced it. That's not true. Mcfadden wharf was actually a little further west than the pier now stands.• When the McFadden trading legacy waned, buckling under rough competition. both piers set· Ued into their current persona.a u places to walk, fish and watch the waves -a legacy that will soon continue. •The Balboa Pier bu definitely been one of the center points of Balboa,• Fournier said, recalllng the late 1970. whpn it was the place of huge Fourth of July celebrations. •1 remember kids would throw firecrackers up on the pier to make everybody Jump. Powth of July was a reelly big deal in thote clays,• he said. Officials chOM the winter months to do the work with locals and tourists in mind, u well as management at Rut>ys and N~w port Pier Seafood. Both the restau- rants a.re slowest in the winter months. Contrector John S. Meek Co. is abeed ol schedule for work on both piers, thanks in part to good weath- er. By mid·April, when even the finishing touches like new signs and a new parking entrance area at Balboa Pier ue complete, business- es and residents alike are looking forward to enjoying beautifully redone piers. •Jt'll be really refreshing tor the whole area,• Fournier said. ·Tbose pien are rully important. Without them, this wouldn't really be Balboa.· Donate your vehicle. 1-888-308-6483 JOin "' Cit Hoag Holpilal a.I &:liortJ ...,, ~ low fal, low-d cooldttg '°'"""""' twl wy m.J ,,,..-af9ott.
