But it's there - just below the surface, lurking, waiting, watching. The Creature from the Black Lagoon? No. The Blob? Nope. The Body Snatchers? Negative. I'll just tell you. Eelgrass. Sorry ... what? "Eelgrass," as in, "eel," followed by .. grass." I had no idea what it was either, until just a few days ago that is, when this very paper ripped the lid off the eelgrass crisis. PETER But you if live BUFFA on the Great Bay of Newport and you have your own pier, I suspect you have seen the enemy, and its name is eelgrass. In case the name escapes you, eelgrass is an underwater plant that produces long. slender leaves 3 feet long or more. I assume the sight of those long. flowing tendrils undulating in the water is what put the ·eer in eelgrass. lf you were a trained marine biologist like myself, you'd know that its Latin name is "Vallisneria Americana." aJthough it's sometimes referred to by its nickname -"VaJerie." Apparently, until recently. the eelgrass kept to itself, and the people above it did the same. But not Jong ago, the regulators showed up. They came from Sacramento and Washington. They looked at the eelgrass and said, "You need protecting." ~we do?" said the eelgrasses. "Yes,· said the regulators. "But this isn't just about you. It's about the little sea creatures that live among those long, slender leaves of yours, 3 feet long or more." "Really?" said the eelgrass. "But we like it here, under the pier, under the pier, as in ... right here. Couldn't you just leave us here, under the pier, alone right here?" "No," said the regulators. "Were here to help." And so, the eelgrass became a 'protected species. Not endangered mind you, but protected which, as it turns out, also means an expensive species. It all has to do with dredging -·from the verb, "to dredge." You know -scooping up the gun)cy stuff on the bottom so boats can move around without a care in the world, or the water. lf you don't dredge now and See COMMENTS, Paa• M ltSl>E 11EPLM ltSIGHr W1hevethe1 thote looking for perfect pet.

Paul Clinton Daily Pilot F or little Gerardo Ramirez. bowling hasn't lost a bit of its luster. He hasn't dismissed it as the latest in a line of pa.sse entertainments from yesteryear 'such as vaudeville, love-ins or disco. On Saturday, at the Orange C:Ounty Fair, Ramirez was just ha.vlng fun, his face Ughting up as he knocked down the pins at the fair's free bowling trailer. The 11-year-old boy from San Juan Capistrano clapped and threw a high-five al a friend, when he rolled a strike. "I've never bowled, but I like it," Ramire'.l said rather sheepishly. HKnoclcing the pins down is fun." The Orange O>unty Bowling Assn. is sponsoring a trailer at the fair, where boch children and adults can bowl for free. The traile£ has been well attended, said Bill Huntington. the president of the Orange O>unty Bowling Assn. MThe pwpose of this trailer is to get you interested in bowling." Huntington said. "We give them a free game." Bowlers do, in fact, receive a free game at one of seven Orange O>unty bowling centers, including Fountain Bowl, Irvine Lanes and Rossmoor umes. The bowling trailer isn't regulation. The lane is QUOTE OF THE DAY BULL Continued from Al ing exhibition and Old West gun- 6gbt between two rodeo downs and a midget.

EDITORIALS Fireworks ·are ' . important part of community C ostaMesa Councilman Mike Scheafer has a nice thought in mind when he suggests that the city phase out personal Fourth of July fireworks use. After all, it was his neighbor who suffered severe bums from the explosives. However, as nice as it is, it's not appropriate. The old adage. "One person just has to ruin it for everyone else," comes to mind. As mean as that sounds, it's the truth. When used as intended, safe-and-sane fireworks will perform their tricks without hurting anyone. So the city should continue allowing the sales and use of these legal fireworks·to celebrate Independence Day. Sch eafer, who as a member of the Lions Oub also sells fireworks, knows how important it is for community groups to raise money through fireworks sales. As well intentioned as the councilman is in urging a phasing out, there are many others in Costa Mesa who will be hurt if fireworks are permanentJy extinguished. Community groups raise much more money selling the fireworks than they do with most other fund-raisers. These sales are vital to many groups' survival. For them to find other fund-raisers can be difficult. There were two years in which they missed the Fish Fry. That's not to blast the Lions Oub and those who worked hard to bring the annual tradJtion back to the city, but had they had to depend on the Fish Fry for funds, they would have been out of luck. The Lions Oub, too, must understand this. For many, families and neighbors gather to celebrate tJ1 e holiday with block parties and await nightfall for the finale - the fireworks. They prepare buckets of water, they set the fireworks off safely, they teach their children the responsibilities of matches and fire and they laugh and enjoy themselves. As sad that it is that someone was hurt using fireworks, it seems that accident could have been avoided. Because of that, there's no reason at this point to post the "No Fireworks" signs. City scores with park patrol plan T his fall. Newport Beach parks are set to become just a little bit nicer. a littJe bit more enjoyable. The City Council last month approved a plan, which will cost $48,000 a year, to have two city staff me mbers patrol the 57 parks to keep an eye on who's using them, whether they have permits and if they are doing anything against the rules. The re are two great features to this idea. The first is that the city's parks will be more comfortable places for families, for recreational sports leagues or even just for an evening stroU. The two patrol agents will be on the lookout for alcohol consumption, unauthorized use of fields, disputes over fields and vandalism. They will focus attention on the 22 parks where most problems now occur. The second is that the program is almost completely self-funding, which is not inconsequential during these tough budget times. Increased field reservation fees and event permit costs and picnic space fees will cover the cost. For proo f of the widespread enthusiasm for the plan, one need look no furthe r than that the city's youth sports leagues all agreed to pay the higher costs. 1t also is proof that there are problems that need fixing. The two city workers will be weU trained for their new responsibilities, working with the Newport Beach Police Department and the city's code enforcement workers. Their handling of situations and their ability to work weU with people will be paramount to the success of the program. City leaders -the elected council and the civil staff - deserve praise for reacting to a problem in town with such a quick. comprehensive solution. Is it the biggest problem in town? No. But it is this rype of response to smaller quality-of-life issues that make Newport Beach the wonderful city it is. It also suggests that the bigger problems also can be solved. THE LAST WORD Newport has Cove options T he Newport Beach City Council, at an undetermined meeting this month. will consider whether they wants to be lnvotvedt with three Crystal Cove State Parle projects. M beautifuJ a.' Crystal Cove 15, It's not Newport Beach. In other wonb. chere's no reason for the city to spend any of Its resjdents' taxes on the state petk.

If the cou.ncU decides that It wants to be a part of the (.ove's future, perhaps It should ask the state to reconsider its ownership. Maybe the state would llk.e to relieve some of Its burden to cut a little more fat off its bleeding budget. Perhaps Newport Beach can annex only part of the scate park. pm1iculmty the .... cm.. to the dty-that wilh lhe llllng COU¥& If not -.full lib the old Cr}'llal Qwe tip reed -"f.eep CM.. BOLTON COMMUNITY COMMENTARY Eelgrass a blessing and a curse By Steve Bromber& S ince our new Harbor Commission fll'SI got rolling more tJ1an a year ago, I have been pleased to see how active the commissioners are ln tackling some of our harbors most difficult policy issues. These include, naming a few. charter boat regulatioru., how to best protect vessels from fires and harbor dredging projects. There is perhaps no other issue as challenging for us as harbor dredging. Many readers know that Newport Harbor and the Back Bay receive sediment from 155 square miles of watershed, including the communities of Irvine. Lake Forest, Costa Mesa, Orange. Tustin. Santa Ana and Laguna Woods. Storm water either carries this sediment out to sea or drops it in the Upper Newport Bay or the harbor. When ii lands in the Back Bay. we work with the U.S. Anny Corps to dredge it out When it lands in the harbor. oftentimes. individual doclc owners have to pay to remove it -usually once f?Very four to five years. The city helps residents do this "maintenance dredging" when we apply for and receive a five-year "regional general permit" from the U.S. Anny Corps of Engineers and the California Coastal Commission. Residents can then work with our harbor resources staff to pull a second permit to dredge their specific doclc area In 2000, we renewed our permj1. This time, the corps and the Coastal Commission added some fairly stringent requirements involving a water plant called eelgJa'>S (zostera marina). Eelgrass. while not an endangered species, is a plant that shelters many species of fish and that serves as a foragins area for endangered birds. Ee1graM tends to thrive during periods of low rainfall and low sedimentation With good light penetration and a temperature range of 50 to 68 degrees Fahrenheit. eelgrass will grow underwater in areas that are about I to 10 feet deep. lbday, we think there are close to 35 acres of eelgrass ln the Back Bay and harl>or, with more than 20 acres alone near the jetty. Other locations include Balboa Island Ondudlng the Grand Canal), Harbor Island. Unda Isle, Udo Olannel and Carnation Cove. With approximately 750 aaes of water area ln the harbor, there Is CUJTently about 5'f(i eeJgraas ~The lowest recorded eelgrass aJYenl8'e occurred in 1993 with le~ than 3 acres. or about 0.5% of the harbor. The current dredging permit says lhat if you find eelgrass beneath your doclc. you either cannot dredge or must carefully mitigate lost eelgrass Steve Bromberg via planting and monitoring a new supply. This planting and monitoring has multiplied the cost of a dredging project by a factor of seven to I 0. What once cost $2,000 to $3,000 now can run into lhe $30,000 to $40.000 ran8e. Finding eelgrass also means that you're on your own with permining -you cannot use the city's permit and mstead must seek permits from 1hree federal and four state agencies before our I !arbor Resources Department can allow the dredging to proceed. So why is all of this important? Property owners must be able to dredge beneath docks -commercial or residential -for the harbor's economy to remain prosperous. lf our bay silts up. property values and th~ bay's recreational resource value will plummet, and we must do everything we can to prevent that from occurring. I want everyone to know that we at the city did not choose this costly replanting or mitigation requirement, but we are trying our best 10 follow the law and protect property rights at the same time. Our goal -as soon as thls provision was applied to our permit - has been to maintain recreational boating use alongside the environmental protection required by U.S. and caufornia resources agencies. Tu improve the situation, here·s what the O ty Council, the Harbor Commission and city staff members are wortdng on: •Mitigation areas. We need to establish places in the Back Bay and harl>or that eelgrass can grow without impacting commerce or property rights. With the county and the Anny Corps of Engineers. we have a cooperative project underway which creates eight eelgrass planting are.as that may be used for mitigation. We intend to <&tribute eelgrass mitigadon a-edits once the planting areas are successful and onc,e we receive authorization to do so from the resources agencies. • Baseline. ~ridng with Rep. Cub Cox. we want to define e. minimum ballellne for the. disufbudon. density and productivity of the eelgrass in Newport Harbor fo r eMential fish habitat- eelgrass that exists above the baseline may be able to be removed. if needed. withou1 penalty or additional mitigation. l will be meeting with Cox this month. In anendance WIY also be our city manager, assistant city manager, our Harbor Resource manager, a representative from the Newport Beach Olamber of Commerce-Marine Division, a representative from the Orange County Realtors Assn. as well as a few others. • Training. To lower the cost of small dredging projects, we have worked with experts to tra1n and certify more local eelgrass surveyors and mitigation bank monitors. These monitors can also heJp evaluate the success of our eelgrass mitigation projects. • Next Permit We will attempt to include our eelgrass mitigation measures in the upcoming permit renewal p~ Doing so may protect the small gains we mJght make during this pennit term. • Local Coastal Program As many readers are aware, we are well into the development of our Local Coastal Program. The program includes sections on coastal resources protection. We0d li.k.e to memorialiu our mitigation areas and baseline within the program. We fully recognize that maintenance dredging in Newport Harbor Is essential for the continued use of the harbor's recreational and commercial boa.ting interests. Other benefits of dredging include sand for harbor beach replenishment But in order to accomplish the dredglng. we have to meet the environmental requirements of the state and federal regulators. These laws and regulations have become exceedingly more complex over time. Simple dredging projects are a thing of the past But we th.Ink we can develop and implement an eelgrass management strategy to provide for environmental enhancement while balancing the needs of harbor residents and visjtors. This will be accomplished over the next year with the input and guidance from the Harbor Commission and interested dtl.1.en& I encourage you to monitor the city's Web site ( wwiudl)( newport-beach.cnus), especially the Harbor Comrn.mion agenda and minutes, for updates. I will keep you posted as to future developments. • B>fTOR'S NOTE: Steve Bromberg ie the m8YOr of Newport Beectt.

August 3. 2003 All Reinventing the cup Andy Rose and company at the Balboa Yacht Club are markinfthis year's Governor's Cup with some new boats. T he Balboa Yadlt Oub will ',host the Govanor's Cup - the U.S. Junior Match Racing Championship -from Aug. l2 througll 16. A new addition this year anives on Aug, J 0, when the dub unveils the Governor's Cup 2ls, a new~ of boats specially designed ror the race. It's out with the old and in wim the new as me race bids adieu to the Santana 20s that have been used throughout the la.st 20 yeais. On Friday, City Editor James Mder drove over to the yacht d ub to find out more about the race and new boat from Andy Roee, who won me race twice in his teens and now helps other aspiring teens~ me race a whirl How did )'OU become lnwlved wtth the Gow:rnor'a Cupf I won it twice -me third and founh editions -back. in 1969 and 1970. From there, the Governor's Cup really helped a lot of us to sort of stan careers in big time yacht raang, ~cally. I ended up in the America's Cup a few years after that as a tactician. I've sailed all over the world -the 'Dansatlantic race. Transpa(:s. Sydney Hobans and all that srutf. And the Governor's Cup had a lot to do with that for me -being able to learn and to win helped a lot I went on to win some Congressional Cups as a tactician. Various yeais srnce then, mey've used various types of boats for it and, for some yeais now. they've used these Santana 20s. They've used them for about 20 years. Unfortunatety, they're getting old and the Irey to me regana L'> that we want to provide the kids with equal boalS because it really should he a Lest of sailing skill and not whemer you luck into getting a better boal So. for some years, I've dreamed of putting together some money and building a new 6eet Finally, about a year and a half ago. I decided the time was now if it was ever going to happen. Fortunately. on my sailboat. we had three or four people, and I wouldn't let them back into the dock until they each committed to donating a full boaL So we started off the campaign with $125,000 or so committed right off me bat. which gave me the confidence that we could raise the rest Our goal. though. was kind of unique and something I'm very proud of and that the club should be very proud of. Our goal from the beginning. and very few dub6 in the wor1d could even aspire LO this. much less do tl. was to have me boat designed by a guy in the dub who happens to be a famous yacht designer. Alan Andrews. I've known Alan since he was a kid and he was in sailing classes down here and I ran the junior program. Alan has designed some of the fastest boats anywhere in me wodd. The sales were to be made by another world-famous sailer and sail.maker. Dave Ullman. whose first ~was here. He's sailed aD aver the world And we wanted to ~ all of' the money from within the dub, so there is no corporate sponsorshjp. There's nothing else. f\lS( dub members. And we met all of those goals. Tu date, we've raised about $350,000 and have built 11 boats -all equal. all statt· of uw Jrt Right now. it's the fastest. be<.t boat ot that t~ anywhere in the world and Wl' can offer mem m two weeks.
