STATE P everal weeks ago, a ne.w, intriguing proposal was unveiled as an alternative to State Parks' plan for an RV camp where inland El Morro Village is today -next to El Morro Elementary School. If you believe, as many do, that thiS creative proposal deserves thoughtful consideration, then read on -and get involved. YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE. Public opposition forced the Parks Department ·to ·withdraw its plan for a high-end that uld haVE~ scuttled historic · cottages at Ciystal - Cove. Recently, the Department made changes to its plans for El Morro -in response, it said, to public concerns. The changes, however, are modest. Among ffiem are "guidelines" to restrict RV campfires during school hours. The RV camp still is on schedule -d~pite opposition from Laguna's PTAs and concerns of the City. THE "99 P.ERCENT" SOLUTION. ANEW .,GREEN FUND." The new plan would help fund 99 percent of Crystal Cove State Park. The new plan would substitute an affordable vacation hostel for the RV.camp and also provide funds to help enhance public access, improve water quality, and restore the Crystal Cove cottages, wetlands and other natural resources. Funding would~ be tied to a final lease e~ension for residents of the inland portion of El Morro Village -which is less than one percent of Crystal Cove State Park. The new plan wo~ immediat.ely provide Laguna Beach with 50 new, two-bedroom apartments for .. emergency response and public safety persormel . as well as local teachers, artists, seniprs, c.µld others the City decides should qualify. There would be no cost to the City. The new apartments would be inside the existing footprint of inland El Morro Village -where over time the City would control all the inland residences there now, which number 222, plus the 50 apartments .

Olen still teaches at the Fine Arts Center in Irvine, and her work is on display at UC Irvine student center through March 21. • One day four years ago, an enthusiastic 76-year-old woman showed up for Olen's class. Ruth Blenz from Zurich, Switzerland, was looking through the newspaper and saw an ad for a Otinese brush painting class. Blen.z always loved to paint, but her father said, "No, you must be a teacher." She became a good teacher and a passionate musician. She taught classical guitar and chamber music, performed ln num'erous concerts, operated a day-care center and taught kindergarten. Now retired, she still teaches priva1e students.

Chinese brush painting is different from western oil and acrylic painting. Using different paints, dJfferent brushes and delicate rice paper that shows every stroke, the artist must be disciplined in body and mind. As artists tend to do, new generations have experimented with interesting combinations of styles and culrure. While Olen has een the changes over the years, she prefers the traditional approach she was trained in. "Both techniques can be combined to make more beautiful paintings and an.

When the council discusses an employee's performance, the meeting is closed to the public. These concepts are simple, really. Does it get 3:"Y less simple when a council-appointed committee meets to discuss how to distribute $2 million in public money? No. The public should still be able to attend the meeting. After all, it's the public's money. and it's a public committee. lt's so simple, yet two fouridations that the City C.Ouncil created two weeks ago do not have ta abide by the same open-meeting laws that the council must adhere to. Thal law, the state's Brown Act, requires that the public be allowed to attend meetings of public decision-making bodies. The only exceptions that would leave the public out of the meetings are lack of a quorum and discussions of pending litigation and personnel issues. Those talks are private. • The City C.Ouncil created two foundations that will decide how ."O '· to distribute $2 million in Home " Ranch Development Agreement funding to three C.Osta Mesa schools -C.Osta Mesa and Estancia High and TeWmkl.e Middle schools. But even tpough the funds belong to the public and will be used for the public's benefit, the foundations do not have to abide by the Brown Act. Mayor Karen Robinson, a lawyer for the Cal State University System, urged her council colleagues to apply the Brown Act to the foundations, but ended up losing that argument. As she said then, "It's a matter of law, not a matter of trust." It's also a matter of perception. Sure, meetings may be open to the public; but at the same time. it's not necessarily illegal now for the foundations to meet privately. It would behoove the City C.Ouncil and the foundations to ensure the public that the use of its money, is open to public discussion. So keep these meetings open to the public and · make it extremely clear to the public why some meetings have to be held privately. The public deserves an open government After all, it's the public:s money, A reminder about freedom of spe~ch ' I t is well kno~ in city hall circles that there is a .. significant learning curve for new council members. Some suggest it can take a year or two for fresh faces to learn all the ins and outs to be effective leaders. As a result, blunders, missteps and asking more questions that other council members are the norm. Still, the first few months of N~rt Beach City Councilman Dick Nichols' tenure have had more than the typical amount of slips and mistakes. That is slightly worrisome, but understandable. Nichols' l~test gaffe. however, comes close to crossing the line from misunderstanding to something shocking and, in-the words of Nichols' colleague Tod Ridgeway, "repulsive." At last week's council meeting, Nichols -a staunchly conservative Republican - questioned the politics of the speakers at the library's Distinguished Speakers Lecture Series, suggesting the "left-wing-leaning" group be tilted more to the right to reflect· residents' more conservative views. Ridgeway, along with Mayor Steve Bromberg, rightly poWlce.d on this suggestion, which smacks of totalitarian control and the worst impulses of people .;_ on the right or the left -to Um.it speech and debate {something that the country's Founding Fathers also found .. repulsive .. and led them to pen the First Amendment). In Nichols' defense, he was under the misimpression that city funds supported the lecture· series (the city. only puts money toward administering the series' accounts). And his argument was to seek a "more equitable" lineup of speakers. "[The speakers) should meet the median of the .. community," Nichols said. But, still, that is little defense for a suggestion that a . government lasso free thinking, For -and this cannot be stressed too strongly -the speakers at the series shg\Md.in no way meet the middle of the community. What makes th.is series such a success, and such a notable component to Newport's fabric, is that series officials seek out · timely and thought-provoking speakers. They. are not people - who are going to be preaching to the Newport Beach choir. Quite ..fhe opposite. And quite as it should be. To think the series -or, by extension, any public sj>eech- should be otherwise is a troubling characteristic, especially in an elected leader. Nichols, who on other issues such as the future of.the Port Theatre has kick-started interes~ and lively discussion, would Cio ~U.. to ponder that.

READERS RESPOND Striking out at Kohl's proposal AT ISSUE: Plans to demolish Costa Mesa's Kona · Lanes and replace it with a department store. Yes, it is a shame that the lce.Capades Oialet is now defunct. Yes again, the movie theaters were outdated. But you lcnow what? Those were kids' plac'es. Why w;ould the City Council 'Want to become M1ssion Viejo, or Aliso Viejo or Rancho this-or that? My I was very disappointed with the Costa Mesa Planning Commission's decision to recommend approval of the Kohl 's department store. I live in that area, and I think a department store would bring too much traffic to the already congested H¢or and Adams intersection~ The streets leading into and out of the parking lots of both the Target shopping center and the Mervyns on Adams in Huntington Beach are very congested. Orange Coast CoUege and the swap meet already generate ph:nty of traffic during the week and on weekends. It's difficult to cross Harbor and Adams to go to the 'Mesa Verde Center now, and this store will only make It worse. I also don't think Costa Mesa needs another depanment store. In this economy, we should support the stores we already have and not build another large building that may soon be vacanL I have never found myself saying, "Gee, l wish I had yet another department store within five minutes of my house." Where does the Planning Commission th.ink all the people to support that store will come from? I'm glad the residents on Ashwood were asked for input. That's the way ,things should be done. May I suggest the residents also talk to the people who live behind Target and Home Depot to bear abo'ut problems they have had. One resident on Ashwood aaid that be observes loitering in be area behind his house, and that a . landscaped buffer with a 6-foot-wide pedestrian wallcway would be an improvement. It occurs to me that that might encourage more loitering and create security issues. And laady. I agree that . •famJJy-friendly" businesses are what la needed at the Mesa Verde Center.

I bet my netghbonJ on Ashwood would even enjoy It. BAR8MA RYCttOfT Costa Mesa On Feb. 22, the Dally Pilot reported Mcity planners have recommended denial of the Segerstroms' plan to build a department store at the Mesa Verde Center.· On Feb. 26, that report changed to •the Planning Commission's decision to bring Kohl's to the Mesa Verde Center." I am not . readily co.nvinced· that a 6-foot-wide buffer could sway homeowners to believe that this could minimize the effect of an enormous building next to their home. I have been to a Kohl's in New York. It is K.-Mart, Target, lJ ·Man -the names are interchangeable. One might ruminate that ·a store of its caliber in that location would affect the value of the adjacent homes -no matter how wide the buffer walkway. Costa Mesans should not conform to the lowest common denominator when It comes to commercial and public land use. We do not need another place to shop.

The aiteria is compatible and hannoniou,, with the netghborhood. and I was doing that from the standpoint of what you see on the street -front yan1s. In about ran 6f last year, we received a petition from a group of homeowners on the ~de that fdt that there was another aspect of compatibility that we \'Yerell' considering. which was what was it doing to back yards of these residents. Where they have alleys in the rear is different than on properties where they don't have alleys. Basically, your back yard Is further forward on the lot because the garage is at the rear along the alley. So, they presented the City Council with a petition requesting that an overlay zone be estabHshed for their tract to change the way we k>Olc at those ~ In fact. that WdS continUed from Monday's Planning Commission meeting. ilimcil asked us to go ahead and study that request. As a result of the awarenes,, now of thb concern on the part of a large nwnber of residents OYef" there, I started looking al new developments from the standpoint of not onty what It loolcs like from the stteet. but also what it looks like from the ~gbbom' rear yan1s. And that's where I scuted denying some because of the feeling that It did dose in those rear yards somewhat and provided them a little less of an open feeling in their rear yards compamf to a standard R-1 property that doesn' have a garage alley in the rear. So that's when the percentage of the approvals from the wiling admumtrator reduced. I would ~A number of those were appealed to the Planning Commission and some uJtima1efy to the Oty Council. In one case. the project was redesl8Jled so lha1 they got out of that rear yard area. and I uldmately approved that redesigned project. The other cases. they were gieoeraDy OYertlaned by commimoo and coundl and were apprcMd. It's not ao much a question of a diff:ereoce of opinion between a zoning adndnurraim and commis.Wn or COUDdl. but a mans of sdD trying to reel our way through wba1 does compatible and hannonlom redy mean. It's unfom.malely not m eJa(:t IClmce. Ma)'be it'1 fonunale that it'I not an exact acieoce. IR a rather aabjecdve thing. & evideoced by eome of the contnMny and the difratog posidom at the public beadngs, dlel9 ue at least two dift'emd ways of 1ookfn8 at a project as to whether it Otl or domdt ftt. and It's just a matter of trying to get enough experience with what the1corrununity feels is appropriate and what the Planning. Commission and Oly C.Ouncil feels is appropriate to give us a comfort level that we're going in the right direction. Well. we have a set of residential design guidelines that articulate a number of design features that we'd like to see in a project Basically, we don't want to see boxes that go straight us on all four sides. We want .some variation in the wall plans and roof treatment There are a couple of specific numbers in there. The second 6oor shouldn't be more than 80% of the 6rst floor. etc. But those are just guidelines.. We've denied some where the second 8oor has been smaller than that and approved some that were larger than that It depends on how the design is done. So I think we use as guidelines -I think the ultimate finding we have to make is if the project is harmonious and compatible with the neighborhood. The genesis of this whole process came from really two different areas. One was a project in Mesa Verde where a house was added to that was just too large and out of scale with the neighborhood. The other ~ a roncem on the P.astside that a lot of this new development was changing what was refened to as the quaint charm of the F.astside. u.<.e them as whether I'm on the nght U'ack or not or 1f I need to adjust how · I'm looking at th~ things..

Some of those decisions Were fairly recent. so it's hard to say what effect it rea.lly had But I think they've all given some guidance as to what kinds of things they feel are appropnate and important And certamly. our impending changes to the 1.0rung code and design guidelines will give us more guidance. Not really. I've been here long enough that I don't take those ~.personally anymore and I know it's part of the · process.

Ouddridge Was the athletic director at fountain Valley High during its heyday in the 1970s, when multiple school teams excelled. He retired ln 1983 from Fountain Valley after 33 years teaching and coaching. ·1 tried to make all coaches.feel their sport is important," Duddridge said. ·1 didn't lose that many coaches and that-- ls lmportanf, to stay in the program." Before his stint at Fountain Valley. Duddrldge coached and taught at Westminster. Huntington Beach and at Campbell High in Northern California. where he unexpectedly thrust himself into the wrestling world. The wrestling coach at Campbell suffered a heart attack and the school's athletic director asked Ouddridge to take over and a newfound love was born. •I learned everything I needed to about wrestling and we won the Northern California championshlp before I left,• Duddrlclge said.
