Meyers, who was mayor of CoSta Mesa from 1960 to 196.5, had a thing about all homes built in the city having a rwo-car garage, and that all of dl06e garages have doors. He also insisted that all garages be used to store ca.rs and not anything else. (Historian and former mayor Bob Wilson ~d after you parked your car, or caIS, in the space. you could squeez.e in patio tables or whatever else you wanted to fit But the space had m first be used for ca.rs).

EDITORIALS Costa Mesa is :not a cookie cutter town, Mr. Steel · A fter nearly two years on the Costa Mesa City Council, Councilman Chris Steel still has some lessons to learn. He illustrated one of them Monday when he constantly failed to focus on the issue at hand. The question before the City Council: Decide whether to allow a couple to add a second -story to their Mesa North home. That was it. The fact that the family included some non-biological children was of no concern to the council members. But Steel, lcnown for blaming others for the city's ills, again took his ever-fammar tack of findi ng a scapegoat and this time focused on the Mesa North family. saying the non-biological children living there violated "the spirit of the law." Eventually, Mayor Linda Dixon was able to steer her colleague and audience members down the right path and the council'supported the expansion with a 3-to-l vote. While discussion on the actual issue and opposition to the plan was more than healthy, we agree with the final outcome: The Davis family should be able to add a master bedroom and bonus room to their home. In tenns of what Steel chose as the issue, we've got thoughts for him on that too. A comm.unity contains thousands of people and not all of them will live in cookie-cutter homes with two parents, two children and a dog and cat. A community is diverse and its members will have varying circumstances and living arrangements. And Costa Mesa is not Stepford and should not be treated as such. Who would really want to live in such a town anyway? The Davis family represents the diversity that community is all about and they should be embraced the same as any family of four with a pet or two. Steel told everyone not to tug on their heartstrings. He was right because that wasn't the focus of Monday's City Council meeting. But that doesn't mean that Steel, when criticizing the family, shouldn't search for heartstrings himself. Other Newport Beach trees deserve saving T here is no arguing that Main Street on Balboa Peninsula looks entirely different this weekend than it did just days ago. The argument, splashed across TV screens and newspapers, is whether it needed to. On one side, Newport Beach city officials said the 25 ficus trees -23 of which were removed Wednesday morning before Balboa Arbor Society members could get an emergency court stoppage - needed to be removed because their invasive roots were causing extensive damage to sidewalks, sewer lines and buildings. The city had to be quick about It, too, to keep BaJboa Village lm,provements on a strict timetable. On the other side, the Arbor Society members -·who were on the scene, trying desperately to halt the chopping - claim the trees were not doing the amount of damage city officials said and that their roots could have been controlled with guards or other less final means. The argument, of course, is over. The trees are all but gone. And as hard as it may be for the Arbor Society people to do so, it is time to move on. But not necessarily fime to give up. ' While it is all but useless to continue with their appeal of what's already been done, these "tree activists" wouJd be well-served -and would serve the community well -by looking out for the rest of the city's 3,200 ficus trees. Perhaps some of the trees are worth saving. Perhaps there are some that can be trimmed or controlled so they won't suffer the same fate as their peninsula counterparts. Only time and investigation will tell. A Newport Beach Arbor · Society committed to spending that time would be a welcome member of the community.

Y es, the judge was right in allowing the city of Newpon Beach to remove the ficus trees from Main Street on the Balboa Peninsula c-Judge approves Main Street ficus removal,· Tuesday). Something the Newport Beach fire chief said on Wednesday at a Sept. 11 memorial prompted me to write this. The fire chief said a man asked a fireman why be would run into a situation like the World Trade Center, and1he fireman's reply was ~u·s what we do.· Well, our mayor, City Council, city manager and other city officials work long and hard hours for us, the people of Newport Beach, while still balancing their private lives. A fine example is the letter published ln the Daily Pilot la11t Father'• Day written by Mayor Tod Rldgeway's three children on what a great dad he was ("Celebrating fathers,· June 16). Our city offtd.als work to keep our city aafe, dean and prosperous. Even as they heard all the opposing comments for the removal of the ficus trees, they obtained profeaa1onel tree expert.I' oplnlons and the decision wu made to replace Lhe fi cus trees with beautiful coral gum trees, which have a better root system. If you asked a city official why they put up with all the people who continually put them down, second guess them on almost all their decisions, and even bring them 10 coun, I'm sure they would say "it's what we do.· I, for one. appreciate all they do for our fine city. Our city officials are not empty suits. They vigorously move our city forward as the demographics change. Why should we be content with "good enough" if we have the opportunity to make our city "even better." GAIL ROSENSTEIN Newport Beach My opinion is that the judge Is not right In allowing the trees to be removed, and why let this whole group go through the process if in fact he knew from Lhe beginning that their appeal was too late. I personally think the trees are extremely attractive and have always enjoyed them and I'm really disappointed that this is taking place because Balboa needs something from history and It's going to be years before we get the same look we already now have. Hopefully something will be done. TONI LEFF\.ER Balboa Peninsula I'm very much against removing the ficus trees on Balboa Island. 11tin the roots. fine. but save the trees. They've been there for years and they're beautiful: they're part of the city. FLORENCE HOLZGRAF Newpon Beach I am deeply saddened by the news regarding the city's decision to remove the ficus trees along Maln Street on Balboa Peninsula. I am not a resident of Balboa, but Naples Island in Long Beach. I firmly believe that Newport Beach's decision to remove the trees is appalling. And, I hope that the mayor's term ends as soon as it's up. or sooner. To think that the local businesses and residents that wanted the trees removed is ridiculous, considering the trees were part of Balboa's landscape for nearly half a century and had absolutely no chance to defend themselves. Tu make this type of decision ls a true example of a politician making biased decisions based on a skewed view, highly Influenced by a few local constituents. To see this sickens me beyond words. I hope that the council'• future as politicians eoda as abruptly as the life of the trees that they murdered.

"' FORUM Sunday, Stc>tember 22, 2002 A7 Map.aging a balancing act Mike Barr has his hands full as commissioner of AYSO Region 120, which covers Costa Mesa 0 ver the past few years. there have been challenges -just like anywhere else In the county-in allocating playing field time fairly ln Costa Mesa. Though the situation continues to improve, challenges still await and exist On Thursday, Oty F.dltor Jamee Meler sat down with M1b Barr, the conunissioner of American Youth Soccer Organization Region 120, which covers most of Costa Mesa, to discuss these issues and challenges. What's the latat on the Farm Soccer C.Ompla fte&dl' alloc:ationt Most of the issues that we've had in the past have been resolved. The only outstanding things we're still working on with the (Costa Mesa city) staft' ls the Sunday play, maintenance. Really, we'd like the fields to rest to keep the conditions nice and we appreciate that and are trying to work with that We also have like to do an occasional training of some of our coaches and referees on the Farm and staff's current position is it's aduJts and they shouJdn't be out there. The allocation is clear that it is a site for the kids. And we do appreciate that, but we feel that training our volunteers is part of the benefit for the kids. The Farm has all of the facilities we need -restrooms, goals and fields are already set up. We go 10 other sites and we don't necessarily have all of those accommodations. They made a nice facility and we try to use it as much as we can. Generally speaking, everything's going pretty smoothly. The city does use two of the fields for Oag football on Saturdays and we wouJd sure like them to change that policy. We know it Is a sports complex. but obviously it was built for soccer in mind. We'd sure like to get this field back for soccer. You said you'd like the Deida to be rated Doel anyone play on Monday night.? We use them for practices Monday. We do have games during the week on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. We do have some weekdays scheduJed. but a 101 of people practice there during the week. too What ls the RUOD for AYSOf WeU, it's gonen so large lhal we actually have two seasons. Our mam season is the fall; we·u go fin.I weekend after Labor Day through. basically. Thanksgiving. Then we have a spring season that NnS mid March through the end of May So what cabs up those fields durtng the winter and tummet1' We have some all-star teams. some advanced play teams that are continuing play in January and February and we try to get them to practice at other sites when we can. We want to have the Fann rest, too. when we can. One of the other issues with the city is lit fields and the Farm has the lit fields that we so desperately need in the winter. What can be done to reeohe th.art WeU, it's really tough. If the weather's the good and there's not a lot ofrain. the city's pretty good about letting us use IL But I've bad three ' meetings with the maintenance people and, lf the ftelds pt aogy. the cleats tear them up, eo it't1 out of everybody's control. lo January. we wort to get the TeWinkle MJddle School at~. There's lit fields there that we use. And ltlWlnkle Palk. but they're ln the proces5 of redeveloping that area and the last plan I saw, we were going to use that utility field because It's going to be all baseball or softball. AYSO and my predecessor donated $50,000 to the dty for more lights at ltlWinkle and the neighbors there an! fighting It. The last I heard, It's probably not going to happen. Staff's looking at other opdons, but it takes time. I understand that and we're trying to work with the neighbors as much as we can. Are theft any certaln time reatrlctionsl Most of the coaches are done by 7 p.m. With the younger children. I like them to be out of there by 5 to 6 p.m. at the latest. They really don't need to practice late. Some of the older kids, the high school kids. can go to 8 or sometimes 9 p.m. We have the penruts until 9 o'clock at the Fann and TeWmkle. And, again. we're ttying to work with staff so that when we're not practicing, we'll get the lights turned off. And it just takes time. We've got 130 volunteer coaches that we to communicate with as much as we can. but we always have a few who we have a hard time getting in touch with. What a.re the proc.eduree for once practice ends. Say It enda at 7 p.m., what'I the procedure in getting the Ughts turned otn If we can confirm that no coaches are practicing. I believe the Farm is on a timer and they can contact the contractor and they can adjust the timer and lights to go off. TeWmkle has a manual switch. ln the past, we've have neighbors and parents keep an eye out and if there's no one there, go over and tum the tights off. lf the lights remain on. the neighbof'> call the city and that's just one more area we're trying 10 work on smoothing out What other jobs and tasks do you have as commlssloner7 I spend a lot of ome working with the aties as has been my mit1al push. I th.ink our relationship with the parks and recreation staff is very good right now. Learning !he job as much as anything. Coordinating !he board. Our board has 24 members; !hey all do different jobs and there's a 101 of follow-up there. malcing sure jobs get done. Recruiting coach~. setting up fund-raisers, registradon -that's a big part. Once those functions are done. 11 tends to.M"ttle down a little bit. Al times, it gets a little bit crary. When you get closer 10 the start of the season. Everyone wants w know who their coach 1s and why !hey haven't called. ·well, they're on vacation They'U call you when they get back..· Some of our advance-play teams play other teams in Orange County and we have to coordinate that M:heduJe along with the olher commissioners in lhe area and allocate fields for their play time. Thal takes some time, putting the teams together and getting the fields for !hem. Commissioner also has to attend a couple of meetings -a national meeting AYSO holds. ls fteld allocation a problem throughout the countyf Definitely. I thinJc one of the big problems. talking to other organizations -LictJe Leagues -1s fields are tight. Nonprofits who have a lot of volume tend to use up a lot of the fields. 1 know that's the cooperation we have with the city of Costa Mesa. They're very good at trying to get us the fields that we need. but where they come back to us ls they'll have other organizations and private clubs and adult leagues that want to come in and use the facilities also. And they're not necesaartly Costa Mesa programs that come into this area and try to me the fields. It's deftnltety an Issue. From our perspective, we'd like to see as few outside organizations as possible because we need the fields to rest, too. They don't want us to dictate the rest period; they want to manage that and I apprecle.te that too, but our program ls a C.osta Mesa program and with volunteers, we do not necessarily have the control of all of our volunteers u we would like. MAILBAG We work on 1t and the problems change from year to year. with different coach~. It's al'"'-ays a movmg target, but one way we recrwt ow volunteer-. 1:, you gel 10 practice where you want We have lhese fields and !he coaches get to decide. One of the things the nty has reque-.ted is to try and figure out a way to sthedule pracuces with 1:oachei. and, honestly, I don't have the time this year. I'm still learning the position and we can look into doing that, but. again. if we have 14 lods who need a coach and this guy says '"I need to practice here: it's the only way I can do 1t," you see !he dynamir' get J little bi! crazy when you haw 110 coaches to Juggle. It never seems there's enough flelds. Is soccer too popularT I behe\e Costa Mesa ha<; enough tielili lo support our program along wnh Region 97 -Newport Reach - wh1ch alw has a considerable nwnber of (,o:,ta Me'><! re .. 1den~. Tony An15h. who's the con11rnss1oner of R~on 97, u~ two or three fields m Costa Mesa for his program al'>O I thmlc that with whar the ciry ha-. available and !he number of kids plc:1ymg, I think Costa Mesa hru. enough. Aga.m. !he question is when the outside organizations come in, that\ when there. wt' feel, becomes a conflict. The Costa Mesa and Estancia high '>Chool programs play at the Farm. rhey came to us and asked Lf !hey could use the fields because we have the permits. And, absolutely. Those are Costa Me!ta schools and kids. We"re trying to support those programs. too. They support us with fund-raisers we do in tournaments. We make d onations to their program for that support That kind of overlap we have no problem with We thinJc that's great and important When clubs from Huntington Beach and Orange and Cerritos come in and get permtts on the fields. thafs when it becomes a hot button for us and our board. So there ddln.ltdy are pou1>9 &om u far u tboee cldeet In the past, someone could come In and pull an application if the field's available. I do not believe there Is a requirement of Costa Mesa residency. The difference Is AYSO here ls stven the ftelds. We do not haw to pay for them because we att Costa Mesa. lbe out.side programs do have to pay for fields. Like l said.
