"The words 'yacht club' sometime$ denote exclusivity, but we are a very lnclustve kind of club. If this go~ away, we would never be able to replace what we have now."

The property where the club has leased its s pace on the harbor since the 1950s was purchased more than a year ago by a charter boat operator. ' ln April 2004, their lease will expire. At that time, the new owner has warned, the $10,000-a-month rent may double. Or, worse for club members, the new owner could choose to move the 120-foot charter boat Icon from Its spot on Udo to the yacht club's West Coast Highway location, squeezing or nudging out completely the small-time sailors now taking up the club's 65-foot frontage. · The new owner bas offered to help move the club to Udo, but for some, It just wouldn't be the same. ·we'd lose our parking, We'd lose the ambience of the club.

Holding Stitch in the air as she admired the cat's "shiny coat" and Mgorgeous expres- sion,• Judge Leslie Falteisek handed out the prized ribbon. Baligad went goo-goo with glee after the win. "It's an honor: Ballgad said. MThls Is a very rare breed. It's unusual to win with a Bombay." Judges at the event said cer- tain traits make an award-win· nlng cat, but a cat that climbs the ultimate ladder lo glory must be attractive and well be· haved.

Yet, the philosophy of the judging ls similar, Judge SAIL Continued from Al our per-foot feet," said Oluclc TurmeU, vice commodore of South Shore Yacht Oub. Members will meet next month to discuss what they want to do. but they're still not even sure what their options are. It's up to the new owner to decide how to use the property and whether to offer anything to the club members. In the end, the club may be forced to move, Its rent at Its ct.inent site could double, or It could disappear altogether. "There are no other entry-level club& oo the harbor, no other placa where people can come and learn boating and not pay huge fees." Quesada aaid. "lf the average peraonhasnoaccesstothe water, what's going to happen to the harbor?" The club, which hu 100-plus members, charges only $80 a month for memben after a $150 lnJtlado.n fee.

Upon her ascension to the mayor-ship Monday, a few audience members questioned whether Robinson, a litigation attnmey for the California State Un.iwrsity system, would have enough time to be mayor, a job that often requires attendance at ribbon-cutting ceremonies. In her two years a5 a councilwoman. Robinson hasn't always been acces,gble. Earlier this year, she sought a judgeship that would have required her to abandon the aty Council dais. She wam't suooes.m.d in that endeavor, but we have questioned and stiD question her dewtion to her post~ il council member, Jet alone a5 mayor. We hope Robinson heeds the audience members' words and proves her critics wrong by becoming more accessible and devoted to her civic duty. Robinson has another task that must be accomplished for the -:· betterment of the city: unifying a City CoUllCil that bas shown more than enough signs that it Jacb cohesiveness.

We just hope she makes plenty of time to do It. • A new vision of Downtown appears T he die is cast. The roulette wheel is spinning. The dealer is laying down the final cani. Now, it is all about waiting and seeing if C:Osta Mesa's gamble on its Downtown pays off. For years, the personality of Downtown -home to Triangle Square, Goat Hill Tavern and the long-empty 1901 Newport, among other buildings and businesses -has been unclear. ls it a shopping district? An entertainment center? ls it a nightspot? With last month's Planning Commission approval of a nightclub for 190 l Newport. formerly called Pacific Savings Plaza. and news this week that a new restaurant featuring dancing is headed to niangle Square. it appears the uncertainty is over. Downtown is about entertainment, espedalJy of the late-night variety. The gamble with this direction is two-fold: Can the area sustain itself in competition with the Irvine Spectrums, the Downtown Oisneys and the various nigb1lp0ts in Newport Beach? And do dty leaden understand what more late-night fun will meant History offers a relatively p:>Sitive answer to the former gamble. While niangle Square has had a tough decade, with empty storefronts and in-and-out tenants, it has had big success in the last few years with the Yardhouse. Other nightspots along Newport Boulevard are typically packed with revelers, and have been since O>sta Mesa was known as Goat Hill Building on these successes makes sense. Identifying Downtown as an entertainment spot and then systematically adding more entertaining choices would seem a good bet Whether city leaders bave their eyes wide open when making these decisions is a separate matter. 1be potential problems are obvious and at their most likely with nightclubs and bars: increased aime. whether dnmk driving. fights or vandalism; and quality-of-life complaints, largely related to noise. So far, there seems to have been little disQISSion about such concerns. There ought to be, and residents deserve an opportunity to say what they 1hink about plans for Downtown. If this new conception of ~town ii what city leaders wmt, then the City CouncO and Planning Commialk>n lhould continue looking for ways to add to the area's appeal. But they should also be prepared to handle the inevitable problems. THE LAST WORD There's no price like home •• .. t BOLTON .. ......,.. . ......... ;::>-~ Proposal for 19th Street bridge should be suspended As residents of West 19th Street, we are appalled to learn of the proposed study to reconsider the 19th Street bddge. This propoaal constitutes an · extravagant waste of money at a time when the city. and the Westside, clearly have more pressing ft.seal and l.nfrutructural necessities. For anyone familiar with the daily condidons of this part of West 19th, . such a propoeal, as a stalking horse to legitimize the pro.i¢. is a complete nonstarter. A bridge would only inwidate the area with additional vehlcular trafllc and compromise, perhapl Jnedeemably;ita residential character. The eristtng problems of road traffic and nolae and pedestrian eafety would not be alleviated with oomtruction of a bridge. Many area reUdeota are woiklng familles with llDd children who travel by foot and blcyde to Whittier Blementary School via West 19th, a.acerbating the safety iasues that would come with a higher volume of traftic. And any supposed economic benefits would not likely accrue in a meaningful way to those in the impacted area. We commend the sensible condusion reached by Councilman Guy Monahan and bis fellow council members with regard to this issue. The area of West 19th Street bas reaJ problems ,that need addressing, but the bJ1dae proposal in DO way MAILBAG contributes to a solution of any of them.

It is difficult for me to see how the benefits of such a bridge, if any, could outweigh the significantly harmful impacts it would unquestionably have on the city.' PORUM teerin e ma or-s F our years after moving to Costa Mesa and two years after beating incumbent Councilwoman Heather So mers, Karen Roblnaon has taken the reigns of the city. On Monday, her coUeagues voted her mayor for the year. On Wednesday, City Editor James Meler visited Robinson in Long Beach, where she works as the attorney in charge of litigation fo r the CaJifornia State University system, to discuss her new gig, as weU as what she hopes to accomplish this year. How long have you desired Costa Mesa's mayor-shJpT I ran for City Council, and Q:>sta Mesa's guidelines are that the Costa Mesa council selects its own mayor and each council member will have an opportunity to serve as mayor. What are tome of your prlorltla umayort A8 the mayor knows, the mayoral position ls ceremonial My authority After two years on the Costa Mesa City Council, Karen Robinson gets a turn to lead the city. -power -is no different than any council member's. ln my mayor-ship. I want to see the council gets its arms around the Westside. With the !Community Redevelopment Action Committee). we hear trash, people urinating in the streets. I wouJd lilce to see us take steps toward helping that (committee). I'm a proponent of substantial changes on the Westside. By next year, I'd lilce to get the wheels of improvement rolling. And I thinJc the council want:. to work carefully with the CRACs efforts. We've beard a lot about a 19th Street bridge from Costa Me'>a to Huntington Beach. It as diffirult for me to see how the benefiti. of such a bridge, if any, could outweigh the significantly harmful impacts it would unquestionably have on the city. I would lake to have this issue resolved one way or another In the coming year. Whether that resolution comes from having a city-sanctioned study or after public hearings will be up to the full council. As you also know. the council has set community objectives. We'll take a good, bard look at those and see what we can do to them accomplished. One final major thing I WM responsible for WM having$ I million cut from the budget. With the state's budget as it is, we should see where else we can tighten out belts without sacrificing the services, such as public safety. tha t our res idents have grown accustomed to. ln the past, you've made It known that you want a judgeship, lncludlng vying for Judge Ronald Kline's seat earUer this year. Do you still plan to seek judgeships? Absolutely. That has been a lifelong dream of mine. If the governor see'> fit to ask me to fill a vacanq. I would. Do you plan to run for reelection? I've been counseled by some very knowledgeable people to never say never. What do you see as your biggest accomplishments to far on coundlT When I came on board, I wanted foUcs to have more public notice, so the radius went from JOO feet to 500 feeL I'd like to think I've been helpful in COMMUNITY COMMENTARY Sooday, December 8. 2002 M STEVE McCRANK I OAl.Y Pl.OT pre-.ervmg the character of Costa \1esa and its R· l lot-,.

I think the carv i!'t in good hands with 1h1-; rnunc1I and us leader-,hap. What do you say to those who question whether you have enough time to be mayor? It's a natural question to have when aJJ of the council members have fuU -time jobs in addition to being council members. I don't think any of us would step up 10 the plate if we d1dn·t think we'd do an effective job. I wiU make I he appropriate adjustments to devote the time necessary to be the mayor of this city.
