And though she has done nothing formal yet. she says she ls determined to get a law passed to ban the sale or half-shell helmets. It ls a task that has posed treinendouschallengesevento police officers who are ready to whip out citations for bikers who don't wear the legal helmets. Costa Mesa traffic enforcement officers have struggled with the issue for several years, said Lt. Karl Shuler. They hand out anywhere between 10 and 60 citations a month. It's a problem that worsens during summer when bikers are out 1n large numbers, he said. "Half-sbeU helmets are extremely dangerous," said Shuler, who also teaches a motorcyple safety class at Orange Coast College. "The only thing protecting your head and skull from the blow is a thin layer of plascic. And you can'c hear the traffic or what's happe ning on the street because of the overwhelming wind power when you're on a bike." And what's more. the half-sheU helmets are the first to Oy off your head when you hit the ground, he said. . ShuJer added that his department always has a "huge crackdown" on bikers with illegal helmets during the summer time. "It's hard to control,· he said. "It an jmage thing. It's a style.· "His clothes were in perfect order. his bike and boots shined UJ perfection and his girl by liis side. is the way I think of Jessie." -Julie Hunt, mother of Elizabeth Hunt, Jesse's fiance Jesse's first wheels was a moped he rode to Newport Harbor High School. When he !urned 16, his parents got him a "real" mocorcycle. 11 was a red Kawasaki Ninja. "It was a 250 cc bike,• Leslie said. Jusc the right size for her son, who was small-made. He loved lo do wheelies on that bike. He also got a lot of tickecs on that bike. After the Ninja came his dream bike, the blue Ho nda Shadow. It was almosc like an extension of Jesse's body. He wouJdn't be seen \\ithout it. The first Lime Michelle Stambuck and her husband, J.J., met Jesse and his girlfriend was in the WestmJnster Mall around Christmas time ln 200 l , she recalls. The Stambucks founded a motorcycle club that bas been meeting outside Java Jungle on Cqast Highway ln Huntington Beach every Wednesday for more than a year now. "They had parked their bike next to ours in the parking lot,· she said.

Everyone can agree that some of the Westside needs sprucing up, but not every property within tlw proposed redevelopment 1.onc docs. And under the city's plan. those property owners withm the boundaries who have h·pt up their businesses stand to ... uth-r the most. which is why they oppose the project. \\'c cenainJy can't blame them ht"t<lU~ once a property becomes pat 1 of a redevelopment wne, it < .m lx'come tambhed, making it 111ure difficult for its owner to seU it if net.'<l be. Not onJy that. but the city would take on the power of t minent domain that could be u~d if need be. City leaders haven't gonen to the point where th<•y would decide how to use that power. but no one should blame property owners for fearing its potential use. After all, many of them have committed to the area for decades and have no desire to leave. And shouldn't have to. Though the city has yet to adopt a vision for the redevelopment zone, we can only imagine that officials would love for it to appear like an extension of Newport Beach, comP.lete with beautiful h9mes overlOOkmg the ocean. But it doesni sound very realistic that the city would be able to buy up all of the land within the zone. The 434 acres would go for about $ l million an acre, so $434 million seems an awfully far-fetched dream at this point Since the city will go ahead with these plans nonetheless, Costa Mesa officials need to do as much as they possibly can to explain to the community and property owners e:xacrly why this plan deserves support After all, the last redevelopment plan adopted in l 973 left us with Triangle Square and it's not exactiy the epitome of succes.s. Perhaps it should still be the focu.5 of redevelopment. Council delivers up the right decision T he Newport Beach City Council gets its share of heat from residents and, certainly. from this paper. rt is easy to criticize city ouncils and other city leaders wht•n they make bad decisions. It ts important, therefore, to dclivN applause when it is due. And the Newport Beach City Council without a doubt made the right decisio n last week wlwn it denied a request from a prn,1 parlor to deliver beer and w11 1t· aJong with food. I >uring the debate over the p1upu..al by the yet-to-open I lotttcs Pizza, a number of side ''"It'' aro~. most notably the ;1lwhol-related problems West Nl•wport suffers around the I uurth of July. While those played a role in the outcome, the rnre of the matter was clear: The delivery of alcohol could too t•a-,1ly be abused by would-be undC'rage drinkers. I h at concern was s uccinctly '-Urn med up by the two public <;peakcrs at the meeting, who <;poke out loudly against the request. "It wouJd be insane to allow I lottics to d eliver alcohol with pi7.7.a," said Corona del Mar resident Laura Dietz. who aJso is a fom1er councU cancUdate. The council, it also should be noted, did not flatly deny the claim. The councilmen were loath to restrict this business' practice, especially had there been another business in town already delivering alcohol with food. But, with city staff' members unaware of any other such business, the decision was made more easily. So business people should not take this decision as a sign of a suddenly anti-business council. Councilman Gary Proctor also noted, rightly. that the request was not without potential upsides. Theoretically, he said. people who have already had too much to drink and want a little more, plus a slice or two of pizza. would be able to have both brought to their door. But it is a slim upside, one not worth contributing to what many in town believe is an aJJ-too regular problem of teenage alcohol abuse. To address that problem, the council would be right to take the decision a step further and forbid any business from delivering alcohol in the city. Residents should be aware there were hints at the meeting that such a decision might be in the future. It is a future well worth making a reality.

In Billings recent Letter to the Editor c·Hotel idea for peninsula lacks potential for success,· Jan. 25), he fails to state bis expertise in the hotel business or for that matter, any business. As a businessman that has for the past years been appointed as co-chairperson to the National Republican Congressional Committees Business Advisory Council and named by that committee as the 200 I Business Man of the Year for the State of Calif om la, I disagree. Ar. one part of the four and one half years that I have been working on the design and programs development of the amalJ luxury resort ·Regent Newport Beach," I have employed the services of PKP Consulting. PKF CoMulting is considered to be one of the world's premier hotel consulting firms. PJCF has spent countless hours working with Regent Hotels International and me to detcnnlne the financial feasibility of the Regent Newport Beach project. The study takes into account many aspects of the industry including architectural and interior design, reaort amenities, location. nwbtf.ng plans, reservation l)'ltema, quality of the management company (in th.la cue Regent lntematJonal) and a comparlson of potentially competing luxury resoru.

He says "no hotel/motel has ever been successfuJ on the peninsula.· I chaJJenge hlm to prove what he sa~ is the truth. Billings claims that the area of the site that the resort will be located on has a value of $90 million. Considering that the resort is 10 be located only on four acres of the eight-acre site that the Marinaparlc: mobile homes are currently located, that indicates a land value of $22.5 million per acre. Js this a joke? Please identify the appraiser that determined that value. Bet you can't do It. Nevertheless, Billings states that keeping the mobile home park on that valuable site makes ense. Please remember that out of the existing 56 mobUe homes on the site, non-Newport Beach residents use 41 of those units as vacation homes. Billings further claims that with the mobUe home park. ·beach access is available and easily accessible." This is untrue, as the mobile home parlc has installed gates at each entry to the beach boardwallc to discourage public access and planted hedges the full length of the boardwalk to further hinder public access. The Regent will remove these gates and hedge8 and will lnstall signs encouraging public access.

Greenlight leaders have stated that a good project ls one that.is low-density, low-rise, low ln traffic generation and high in revenue generation to the city of Newport Beach.

COMMENTS Continued from Al "Wbyl .. -Hotties asks "Why not? What do people drink with their pm?'' they mused. That's simple. As everyon~ows, both federal and state law allow only three beverages to l>e consumed with piz:l.a: soda. beer, wine. I suppose one could drink water with their pizza. but that woukf be silly. So why not deliver the beer and dle wine right along with the pizza. thought Hotties. The city's planning department and the NBPD teYiewed Hotties request. made a few suggestions here. tacked on a few corldJtions there. C.Ondition l: all Hotties personnel delivering beer and wine must be at ~ 21 years old No problem there. C.Onclition 2: no pie, no hooch. so don't bother calling in an order for Mone pizza. three six-paclcs, two bottles of merlot -but hold the pizza." That malces sense, of course. The Planning C.Ommi.ssion took a whack at it and said OK. But as often happens. the Qty C.Ouncil had a slightly different view of Hoaies' request. which was. wwhaddayowmts?" lt was C.Ouncilman Gary Proctor. who represents the district wherein Hotties would manufactw-e the aforementioned pi2:las, who appealed the Planning C.Ommission's decision to the council. Gary has been long concerned with inconsiderate visiting summertime revelers in his district, especially around the Fourth of July, when waves of partygoers celebrate the birth of our nation by each consuming a case or two of their beer of choice. 111 have to side with the Oty Council on I forties' piz:l.a-and-pinot proposal, but for a different reason. If alcohol is what you crave, there are all sons of safeguards in restaurants, bars and stores to make sure that you have at least 21 years of craving under your belt Doesn't always work. and yes kids woric overtime trying to beat the system. but that's getting tougher and tougher. which is a good thing. But Hotties' plan is just fraught with temptations for the under-21 crowd. which is a big crowd. I'm sure Hoaies had a policy in THF L11.1MF.RF.

Here's how It works. and I'm not giving away any secrets here because this dodge has been around since Alexander Graham Bell said "Mr. Watson, come here.· The m06t valuable asset in any group of teenagers is a girl who bas a deep voice and can sound fully·grown up over the phone. She Is worth her weight In gokl. I can guarantee you that there were at least 35 local kids who were not where their parents thought they were last night. because when their mom was taDd.ng to SUzy's mom an the pheae, she was in fact talldng to the girl with the deep voice. Don't feel bad Every parent falls for it sooner or later. One fateful night. the girl with the deep voice calls Hotties. wrd like a medium pizza with everything on it Oh. except anchovies. My daughter just hates those,• she says with a slight laugh. "Honey?" she calls out to her iJna&inary husband, "I'm ordering pilz.a for the girls. Are you going to have anyr A male voice in the background mumbles something. •Ok. that's fine." says the girl with the deep voice. "Better make that a large and, um. give me one salad,· (a total diversion that will be thrown out immediately) wand let's see. a diet C.Oke, and oh, what kind of chaldonnay do you bave? Great. that's perfect." Al that point the Hotties sales counselor reminds her that there has to be an adult in the house. with proper l.D. "Absolutely." say.. the girl with the deep voice. "I'm afrajd I qualified a long time ago." she says with a slight laugh. Fast forward. The Hollies pi.mt transpon specialist rings the doorbell. unaware that he is being watched dosely from an upstairs window. The cutest girl available ls Immediately dispatched to the doot (If the transport specialist is a female, it's the cutest guy ava.ilable) After an approprtate pause. the cutest available, way under-21 gtrl opens the door and sayv "Ob hi, just a sec. "Mom7 Pizza's here." she calls out to the darlcness up6talrs. "Be right there," the girl with dle deep voice answers from somewhere upstairs. WMoney's on the table, sweetie." The girl at the door "notices" the three rwenties on the entryway table and bands them to the rransport sped.a.list who starts to make change for the $42 tab. "Mom? Do you need ch3.nger' the girl calls out "What? No. that's fine, dear,• says the girl with.the deep voice. ffBe right down. Sony." At which point, the girl at the door rolls her eyes as if to say, "Parents!" So there you have it a long sllens;ie, the transport specialist fidgeting, the cute girl smiling a.t him. time slipping Into the future and most important, an $18 dollar dp hanging in the balance. I can\ speak for the transport speda.llst. but I can tell you thal I personaDy would be back in the Hottle-mobile and roaring off into the nJght faster than the Raellans that decided not to tum owr a DNA sample from the linJe clone after all.

LOOKING BACK A gem on BalbOa Island Keith's Jewelry boasted its location through its cigarette cases that featured a map and embedded jewels. Lollta Harper Daily Pilot W illiam Keith drove 200 miles to visit the neighborhood In which he and his late wife once enjoyed years of happines,, and creativity. He reminisces a.bout his former jewelry store -Keith's Jewelry -once located in the heart of Balboa Island, and thinks of the keepsake he created in tribute of the quairit co nun unity. It was back in the day when smoking was the rage and men carried silver dgarene cases in the fold of their jacket Keith and his wife patented an original jeweled case, which sh~ an engraved map of the ISiand with embedded jewels. The street names lent themselves to a fine piece of original jewelry because each aoss street of Park Avenue was named after a gem. The cigarene case touted this on it.s cover, with a respective jewel on the comer of the street it was named for Keith's Jewelry stood on the main thoroughfare of the island in the 1940s where it proudly displayed its authentic wares. Delicate silver chains, beauufuUy engraved tea sets and candle sticks adorned the window fronts, which were shielded by a striped awrung. Keith was alc;o charged with forging yachting trophies for the Balboa Bay Oub and featured them prominently in his storefronts as weU The interior was JU.!il cL'i impressive. with beauuful flower arrangements adding fragrant and decorative supplements to the glimmering pi~ Jut the store was bwlt on more than sliver or trophlelo or a business. It was the pa.nner"i!up between Keith and his wife Jacqueline. f !er master engraving sJcills coupled with his business savvy attracted the likes of Hollywood greats to the modest island shop. Their synergy also aeated a lasting token of Balboa Island. which sold in 1947 for Sl .000. THE KID FACTOR ByDa~ Wont You 're bemg tramferred to a distant city.
