Proposed overlay zone
for Eastside rejected ·
The City Council rejected an overlay
zone for an F.Sstside neighborhood that
would have restricted home remodels.
It also made-substantial changes to the
residential design guidelines and the
residential development standards in
the zoning code. The en<i result is that
the process for home expansions will
be simpler and faster.
One o( the major changes is that
those homeowners who want to add a
second-story floor area that doesn't
exceed 50% of the first-story floor area
can now obtain an over-the-counter
approval.'

'TIME FOR A VICTORY DIP'
.KENT TREPTOW /0AILYP1L0l
Sailing is one of the more tricky sports to shoot. To an eye
untrained in the art of sailing. the boats seem to be cruising
back and forth at a leisurely pace. It b easily to overlook the
subtle movements and it is hard to caprure on film the
sailors' ability to read the windi.. We often return back to the
office with serene pictures of the boats, but the event is more
energetic than what our photos had been depicting of the
Governor's Cup.
TI'lis year. photographer Kent Treptow decided to stake out
the docks at the Balboa Bay Oub after the races were over to
see if there would be celebration by the winning team. Not only
was there celebration, there was the tossing of Australia's
Cruising Yacht Oub roach David Adams into the water. 1he
enthusiasm on their faces tells the story of this four-day
international youth race better than any action shot ever could.

EDUCATION
Harbor View Elementary
to open one week late
District officials announced
Tuesday that Harbor View
Elementary School in Newport
Beach would start a week late. This
prompted some parents to ask the
district to move the student body to
another campus since construction
will also continue for the first few
months of school.
Supt. Robert Barbot said he didn't
think that was necessary, but
suggested concerned parents meet
with an assistant superintendent to
monitor the situation.
Also thjs week. the school district
has filed a lawsuit against a state
commission that licenses teachers
to find out if one of its teachers lied
on his job application by
withholding that he had been
accused of molesting female
students at a previous job.
Craig Kinder, who taught
industrial arts at Costa Mesa High
School for two years. was found not
guilty of the charges in Missouri
about seven years ago.
But Ille Newport-Mesa Unified
School District wants details of an
bank branch in Fountain Valley on July
30. Police said he used a note and the
threat of a gun in both incidents.
In another robbery. a man. who
police have not identified, is said to
have robbed about $3,900 from a Wells
Fargo Bank branch at Harbor Boulevard
and Baker Street on Aug. 6. No weapon
was seen in that incident, police said.

nine years, he bounced around
from one foster home to
another with frequent visits to
juvenile hall. He ditched school
and began smoking marijuana.
"It was an easy way to malc:e
. money and stay high." he said.
"I think I stayed high so I didn't
have to face reality. It was an
easy way out. n
Along the way, he became a
skinhead, picking up various
tanoos based on who he was
hanging out with. The tattoos
are now a reminder of his
wayward past, a past he would
like to transform into a more
stable future.
"I can't do anything with [the
tattoos)." Comer said. "No
matter how much schooling (1
have) or how I act, I can't be a
productive member of society
now.
Kanarek is trying to find a
doctor to donate his or her
services to remove the tattoos.
"He needs a brealc: and people
don't give breaks to people with
angry tattoos" Kanarek said. "Ir's
a way to tum the clock back and
start over."
Comer eventually obtained
his G.E.D. and has participated
in Narcotics Anonymous. He
has been drug-free since he
landed in jail about six months
ago. He also has a 19-month-old
daughter, who he has only seen
once.
Kanarek sent him a book
called the Impact of a Man on
his Family. Comer has been
reading it and has taken its
message to heart. He has even
been passing it around the jail.
"If I had known that [stuff)

While Comer said he still feels
like part of what happened to
his family was his fault, Kanarek
reassured him that it isn't.
"All this is because your

as she hugged him during a

Corner said he is grateful for
Kanarek's help and for her

"I lhink Sally's great." he said.

But there Is nothing w rong with my passion for
the medium. I think more people should pick up
comic boob.
First. the Intellectual reasons: Sequential art is
one of the most primal forms of storytelling. There
are words, and there are drawings, a method tllat
hH existed since man first drew on the cave walls at
L.etcaux. The writer and artist rely on these two
basic ections to relate concepts sometimes profound
and other tlm" amusing. Cornlea generate modem
mythologl"· allowing people of all agff to share in
either• laugh, • ahoclt or a cry. It is a clear reminder
that a simple narrative can connect people from
different backgroundl, cultures and creeds.
Then there are the not..o-intellectual reasons:
The stories can be read quickly. the boob are rel•
tively cheap (when'• the lest time you paid $2.25 for
a movie ticlcet or CD71. and you'll be the life of the
perty when Hollywood makes that ne>Ct big comic
bookflia.
There really Is a comic for everybody. Just walk
into the comic book store near you and ask for some
help. Tell them what you like, and they'll point you in
right direction.
Nothing beats that elation of wondering what
happen• to my favorite charecter and then finding
out ea the stori" unfold month after month. It's like
Christmas every Wednesday.

incarnations over the
years since 1907.

and the Lumiere
brothers first marketed color
photography, 1907 saw the birth
of l:he coastal area's first·
• newspaper, the Newport News.

In the years following, many
papers were born in the harl>or
area. Larger, financially
dominant papers. including the
-Oaily Pilot, absorbed nearly all
"When I started at the Pilot. in
1962, there was us (originally
called the Costa Mesa
Globe-Herald( and the
News-Pres6 (originally called the
t¥ewport Harbor News-Press
before It merged with the Pilot!.·
said former Pilot photographer
Lee Payne.
The Pilot covered Costa Mesa
while the News-Presi covered
the harl>or news. The News-Pres.c;
was at 2211 Balboa Blvd. in
,Newport Beach.
"In the early days, the PiJot
was a bi-weekly and each paper
was identical except with
different from pages, as this was
done to accommodate the
Newport Beach readership,· said
Payne. "Our circulation (in 19621
extended from Seal Beach to San
Oemente.·
late itt 1962, the two papers
were officially joined under one
name -the Pilot.
"Newport-Mesa was a qwet
area'then, • Payne recalled. ·we
couJd get a front-page story
about painting white lines down
the center of the st.reel.·
Many often wonder how the
Pilot got its name.
In 1955, the Globe-Hercild
launched th~ Marina, a smaJJ
SeaJ Beach newspaper. The
Marina acquired the small Coast
Pilot or Southern California
newspaper, also in Seal Beach,
from its founder, former Navy
Admiral John R. McKinney. In
1957, McKinney sold the name•
Pilot to the Globe-Herald for SI,
asking if they liked the name and
wouJd use it well. Thus was born
thrGlobe-Herald and Pilot that
in tum become the Orange
Coast Pilot
' There have been various
mastheads used for the Pilot: the
Orange County Daily Pilot, the
Orange Coast Daily Pilot, the
Newport Daily Pilot atid the
Daily Pilot. In 1961, runes Mirror
acquired the Orange Coast

EDITORIALS
Cooperation key
to imprOvement
W e have often been
critical of the Costa
Mesa Community
Redevelopment
Action Committee.
We saw the committee as too big
with too many personalities to
deal with to come up with any
meaningful direction or change
that would benefit the Westside of
( 'osta Mesa, which it was asked to
improve.
And some of our concerns were
rnme in the early days of the
1 ommHtee, which has since paired
it.,elf down by more than half.
J laving said that, we must take a
111inute to give the committee a
thumbs up for now. It's not that we
,1gree with all or even some of the :w recommendation s the
rn111 mittee has forwarded to the
City Council's Redevelopment
1\i:;t>ncy. However, we agree with
the spirit of the effort and
i:ummend committee members -
who are all volunteers -for
atte mpting to create a vision the
will benefit the future of the
Westside for years to come.
Some of the committees ideas
are grandiose and improbable, 3'n~
the members have run into a buzz
saw of opposition from some
Westside residents and business
owners, who are steaming mad
over the idea that the c ity could
dictate the fate of their property.
We urge those business and
home owners to let cooler heads
prevail.
l'he committe·e has no power to
111Jke changes. only suggestions.
;1111..I as city leaders have indicated,
1 he lie tails are far too sketchy right
now to say anything is concrete.
llul some of the arguments have
ltlerit.
Would the Westside be better
served by a new shopping center
on 19th Street with a supermarket?
Are the bluffs that currently
house industrial offices and
manufacturing plants better suited
for high-price homes and ocean
view neighborhoods?
Would a bridge over the 19th
Street hurt or help the area's
economic well being, security and
safety?
It is not possible to adequately
answer any of these qu estions
right now, but it doesn't hurt to a t
least put them up for a lively but
civil debate.
One thing is certain, we reject
the notion that nothing s hould be
done to improve the Westside.
That the Westside is not b lighted
and n eeds no effort to clean it up
is just a denial of the facts.
Another thing that is certain is
we would also stand on the side of
resid ents and business owners
who want to protect the property
rights they so cherish. We agree
that no home should be lost and
no business closed, unless of
course those property owners are
willing sellers who are
compensated fairly.
Since that day is clearly a long
time coming, if it even comes at
all, we urge au to stay involved in
the debate and not lose focus on
the goal.
h doesn't have to be one way or
another, there is a happy medium
that rhetoric and name calling
cannot achieve.
As the Community
Redevelopment Action Committee
members h ave learned and can
attest to, there is too much work to
be done and too much at stake to
get bogged down in all of that.
Tales of Balboa site
worth keeping up
F reedom of speech is a
wonderful thing. People can
take what they will from
any s tatement, but
l'veryone's welcome to make one.
Last week, a few comments were
111ade in Newport Beach that nearly
produced an unfortunate side
l'I f cct.
1\t a m eeting of the Balboa
Business Improvement District. a
lli">cussion rose as to whether
/11/esofBalboa.com. which
,1dvcrtlses and links to Balboa
Peninsula businesses, should drop
i1s advertising of and link to
l·weNewport.com. Some merchants
said they thought that an affiliation
\\ ith the latter group, which has
uiticized the city of Newport
ll1•ach on occasion, was
in< onslstent with the merchant
group's goal of promoting local·
ltusiness.
The merchants asked their city
liaison his thoughts on the matter
.md he said it was Tales of Balboa
Webmaster Jim FournJer's choice as
wd l as "the choice of the [business
improvement district) who they
link with. and those links and sites
">hould be consistent with the
[district's! mission."
Fournier didn't take to the
comment and responded thereafter
by posting on his site that it would
soon end. It was a shame that
Fournier reacted that way. His Web
site has much to offer the area and
those afar, who can check out six
different Web cam views of the
peninsula.
"I really shut down the Web site
becau se I was frustrated with all
the politics," he said. "I spend a lot
or time putting everything together
and l lose money on it every
month. And all I get is this massive
amounl offlalc.~
However, Fournier has since
changed his mind and made the
right decision to keep the city's and
merchants' asset going. He said
several people wrote to him to
protest his decision. The Web site
has had more than 100,000 visits
since its beginning. further .proving
its worth.
Fournier will continue linking to
FreeNewport.com. advertised as
"The Web our leaders don't want
you to see.~
It really doesn't m atter whether
Fournier links to the Web site or
not His own Web site is worth the
visit and keeps visitors busy with
Balboa and Newport history, handy
information, feedback and weather
readings. The site has found a
niche and Fournier should be
encouraged to continue it for as
long h e can.

READERS RESPOND
Reader should rethink redevelopment
AT ISSUE: Possible
redevelopment of Costa
Mesa's Westside
In this week's Community
Commentary regarding redevelopment,
Ila Johnson makes a most remarkable
statement toward the end of her
opinion piece. She states: "I am a
property rights advocate, but property
rights are not absolute and really cease
when they begin to interfere with the
rights of others' enjoyment of their
property ... "What? Can you say
convoluted? lf she isn't enjoying
someone else's property enough, then
that property owner's rights should
cease? Johnson, you've got to get a grip.
Earlier in her commentary. she tries
to make the point that Westside
industrial use is a holdover from the
past. when it was justified. Bu t today,
she calls it inappropriate because we
need new housing "in these highly
desirable locations." The next sentence
gives you all the insight you need into
her th.inking: "Costa Mesa should not be
held hostage today by decisions of the
past". What are you advocating, the
equivalent of a City Council mulligan?
An official "do-over?"
Let's see now. There are all these
commercial and light industrial
businesses infecting the Westside. Many
have been in the city longer than
Johnson, of course, but that shouldn't
matter. The vast majority operate
entirely within the laws and the codes,
but I guess that shouldn't matter either.
They employ thousands of workers and
produce tens, maybe hundreds of
millions in sales and huge amounts of
taxes.
But, because the breezes blow on the
bluffs and Johnson thinks we need
some more houses. we should seize
their property scrape the groWld Oa1
and build a few hundred condos.
Fairness shouldn't enter into this, I
guess. These Westside property owners
who have their entire lives in their
businesses should just quietly fold their
tents.
Where. I ask. do these businesses go?
Where do the jobs go? Where do the
thousands of newty unemployed find
wort? Does Johnson care?
If Mayor Gary Monahan is right and
there's no money to pay for an eminent
domain seizure of these properties.
coWlt me among the very pleased. And,
as a small WestBJde business and
property owner, I hope it stays that way.
Let me add in closing, I don't give a
damn whether Johnson ever enjoys my
propeny or nol It's my property. and I
Intend to enjoy It enough for the both of
us.
CHUCK CASSrTY
Costa Mesa
Sadly, I read the all·LOO-vi.slble
colwnn wrlnen by Ila Johnson -e clear
eq>C>M of the heartlesanas,
and·bulineta and IOdaliatic thinking
pattema of the \Dlinfonned lfben1.

only way in which its purchase can be
justified
How dare Johnson take the whip to
businesses allegedly releasing toxic
pollutants, that sh e claims are
"potentially capable of causing cancer
and a whole host of other ailments."
without documenting her ill-informed
and politically liberal sources.
Reasonable thinkers are sick of this
McCarthyistic belching, so typical to
those Who think businesses have no
right to operate in California. yet
encourage hand outs comprised of
businesses' taices for the beneficiaries of
our unending entitlement programs.
Watch out for the South Coast Air
Quality Management District. which
p uts small companies away at alarming
rates these days in its effort to "clean
up" the air. They've become experts at
convincing people such as Johnson that
the worst pollution in the basin comes
&om businesses. Not true. The district's
own statistics confirm that vehicles
produce the majority of pollutants.
Shut business out and you have a
problem. There will be no money in the
coffers to give away. You'U injure far
m ore families -taxpaying ones -than
you realiu. And where will the locals
who work for such companies find jobs?
What about the pollution they will
contribute by driving much farther to a
new place of employment?
I own property just outside the
section o f the suggested redevelopment
area on the Westside and I've been
paying for it for.half my working life. Its
more than frightening to know that
whimsical thinkers like Johnson may be
at the root of someday displacing my
business and, at the mom ent, feel free
to attac~ those like me whose are inside
the dotted lines.
What a sad commentary. Johnson
thinks "simply rezoning the area" will
easily facilitate the changes she
advocates.
I encourage her to become better
educated on the great value of sm all
businesses -companies synonymous
with the spirit of community -of which
there are so many in that section of
Costa Mesa. l also encourage her to
listen without bias to the arguments of
business owners, who she
condescendingly calls "industrialists."
Maintaining an open mind. she might
learn something and then be able to
make an educated decl&on to run out
legjtimate businea &om a long-time,
properly zoned industrlal area.

What son of nonsense is this? It

redevelopment would be most likely be
service oriented at the new shops and
restaurants that would supposedly

example -Albertson's, Rite Aid,
McDonald's, and U Maxx are good
examples of the types of businesses that
would populate any new shopping
center in the redeveloped area I can
almost guarantee that the many current
jobs generated by the Mindustrialists"
pay considerably raore than any of
these retailers.
Next, Johnson states the current land
use in Westside Costa Mesa ls entirely
inappropriate because the city is almost
entirely built-out This also defies logic.
How would tearing down all the
businesses -which provide jobs and
tax revenue -and replacing them with
another shopping center and more
homes solve any of the numerous woes
that Johnson says afflict Westside Costa
Mesa? Who would buy these homes?
People working at the new shopping
center?
Eliminating jobs while creating more
traffic and congestion makes absolutely
no sense.
Finally, Johnson characteriz.es the
Westside as a toxic dump, with air unfit
for humans that bas been
"contaminated" by the "industrialists
who care little for the health and well
being of the citizens of Costa Mesa.•
These are incredible statements that fly
in the face of reality.
California has rigorous environmental
standards, and the regulatory
environment Is notoriously strict. 'The
South Coast Air Quality Management
District. along with the Regional Water
Quality Control Board. the Department
of Toxic Substances Control, the
Environmental Protection Agency, the •
Division of Occupational Safety and
Health, as well as the d ry and county
(among others I am surety leaving out)
all regulate the activities of each and
every business that handle toxic
sub6tancea.
Any redevelopment or revilaliz.adon
of Westside Costa Mesa will dramatically
and adver1eJy atrect the vety property
a1ghta Johnton daima to advocate. 1beJ

There are countless factors that p rove challenging in running a school district, but
Newport-Mesa Unified Supt. Robert Barbot seem s to be holding his own
A ~~~~Mesa Unified
school will rerum to
class on Sept 2 and the
district was busy over
the summer renovating and
updating several campuses and
reinventing the curriculwn.
On Friday, City Editor James
Meler met with Supt. Robert
Barbot to cliscuss these
improvements and changes to see
what the school year has in store for
Costa Mesa and Newport Beach.
Plrst or all, tell me a Uttle about what
improvements were made OYer the

F lrst-year F.stancia High football
coach Craig Fertig was recently
quoted as saying. Ille best

would have been l · 19. but the Sept 11
tragedy allowed an escape clause to
avoid a certain squashing by Aliso Niguel
in 2001.
You might wonder what would
possess a coach of Fertig's experience to
tackle such a task. It's son of like running
through a "bag drill" all day long. daily.

"Since I was a little ldtf'hVways

Fertig as he and his l~es await
Monday's first day of conditioning drills
before two·a·days get under way.
Fertig has become f:stancia's I 0th
head football coach since the school
opened its doors in 1965 and it began to
materialize when his daughter-in-law.
Us.a. told him of the coaching vacancy
during the family's Christmas dinner.
"She said the previou.s coach was
fired. and I told her there were only two
types of coaches I know of; those who
have been fired, and those who are
about to be fired.· said Fertig, a master
speaker.
It appears there was some ground
wort laid because Usa. a member of the
Estancia teaching staff and the wife of
Fertig's son. Marc, said Estancia's
principal. Dr. Tom Antal. would
appreciate some input in tenT\S of
recommendations from Fertig. "Setting
the trap" migh1 be a bener description of
"input"
One thing led 10 another and Fertig
eventually look the bait and revealed he
had found the right man: Himself.
Fertig, a Newpon Beach resident. was
an ~t coach at USC for 11 years
and was an as&stant on the pro level for
four seasons (one with the PonJand

So Fertig knows what it's like to be

and at Estancia, there has been plenty
of that the past two years.
His "secrets to success" are pretty
basic.

He is starting with a staff which

defensive line and running backs.
Also, two who know the true feeling
of 1-18, Ernie Bushare (quarterback
and defensive backs) and Joel Hirn

Success has already arrived in terms
of eligibility as the Eagles have

of it, and told them if some people
don't start (getting with it). I'm going
to show you the grlp and how to use it
because you"re going to be using it the
rest of your life.
"Whoever has the worst GPA. you
get to carry the shovel to class, and it
stays next to your desk."
During spring practice Fertig had 13
desks installed near the weight-lifting
site. and movable to the practice
sidelines. where the '"Diny Dozen"
spent its time with the books while
the rest practiced.
Fertig says hell not change
anything in tem\S of doing business.

the framework of the master plan
'"I get aroWld to every position and

"But I.his is a ·we· thing."
He's had his squad on the USC

and the fact his last coaching post was

"As a TV commentator for the past
