P•• M Daily Pilot AT A GLANCE ON THE WEB: Ww.~cxrn I - t I A2 Mondly, Septerrk 27, 2004 YO U ·R , .... / eulN~ss SP.ORIGHT Fresh-/ean fanaticism opens a Co store, i(s third Oran~ County site. Allele Robinson Daily Pilot Y ou won't find berets or bongo drums in Costa Mesa's newest coffee shop, even though proprietors refer to loyal customers as • Peetniks." Emeryville-based Peel's Coffee and Tea Inc. opened a store on East 17th Street last week. and some Peetniks have already sniffed it out. ·1 grew up in Nonhem California, and they have a lot of Peet 's there,· said Ben Ingmire, who lives across the '>treet from the Costa Mesa store and has dropped in several times since it opened. Founded in 1966 in Berkeley by Dutch immigrant Alfred Peet, the company now has 87 stores that serve coffee and tea drinks but are focused on selling freshly roasted coffee beans in more than 30 varieties. "We're pretty fanatical about freshness," Peel's chief executive Pat O'Dea said. "You need to get it from the roaster to someone's cup as quickly as possible." Employees in Em eryville hand-roast the coffee beans, which are measured out for customers in the store, said Scott Yturriaga, manager of the Costa Mesa Peet's. "lfyou were a customer, you could look right in the bins, and that's actually what you're going 10 get," he said. The company touts the dark. rich flavor of its freshly roasted beans as what sets it apart from other coffee purveyors. For some customers, that's an important selling point. ALICIA ROBINSON /DAILY PILOT Connie Kim keeps a close eye on the scale as she measures out a pound of coffee beans for a customer Saturday afternooo at Peet's Coffee & Team Costa Mesa, which opened last week. Working for Starbucks for about five years didn't convince Ingmire to drink its coffee. "I prefer Peet's just because its a richer brew,• he said. "It's got a little bit of a kick to it." Things have run smoothly since the store opening because employees were trained at Peet's Corona del Mar store, then shifted to a new Laguna Beach store before coming to Costa Mesa, Yturriaga said. A few special "reserve blends" that sell for $29.95 per half pound may be too rich for the average consumer's blood, but Yturriaga said the com~any hopes customers will try Peet's coffee first and eventually buy the beans to take home. ~This is only our third Orange County store, so we're still building that knowledge and awareness,· he said. So far, It seems 10 be working. Brooke Bombada of Newport Beach was on her way to another coffee shop recently when she saw Peet's and decided to try IL "I got a chai latte, which is something tl>at's not always good at other places,· she said. ult's good.111 come back. ..

Martin and Link were factors in the win against the Sea Kings, with Martin rec:owring a fumble to halt a Corona drM deep into Newport territory late in the third quarter. Martin also caught a two-point conversion pass following link's 63-yard punt return for a touch- down. Unk also caught the 47-yard game-winning pass with I :07 remain- ing. "To be able to come away with a win is a sign that we are competitors." Brin- kley said. The injuries in the opening weeks not only gave Newport Harbor the resiliency to battle back. it also allowed backups to gain valuable experience. With Rippon out, fullback Thevor The- riot and sophomore Jasen Ruiz were called upon to handle the running game. And with Martin out. Theriot moved to inside linebacker. The ab- sence of Young and Theriot at outside linebadt.er gave Gttg Miner and Billy Brown an opportunity to step up on de- fense. In the Corona del Mar game, Theriot injured his left arm. It has been diag- nosed as a dislocated elbow, which means he should be able to return to action shortly. But It also means Brown and Ruiz will be able to build upon the playing time they have seen so far. •That's why you coach them all · Brinkley said.

If the number of travelers using John Wayne continues to climb at such rates, the airport will reach its cap of 10.3 mil· lion passengers a year within the next two years. according to some airport activists. Several people are pursuing solutions to what they admit is a regional prob- lem, but some of them are ftying under the radar for now. John Wayne Airport's passenger levela have soared every month for the last year as a result of increased capacity al- lowed by the settlement agreement that governs airport operations.
