' , 2 Monday, Jonuory 15, 2001 Terrance Phdlips THE HARBOR COLUMN New year brings T • a new chance to .- protect the harbor I t's here: the year 2001. It doesn't seem that long ago (the 1960s, I think) when the movie ·2001 • hit the big screen. I remember it begmning with a society of apes hitting each other with skeletal bones and then a big, black, shiny monolith appears Ill the middle of the desert. I can only assume the monolith represented the future and the primates represepted lhe past. Very deep, far too deep for my limited gray matter. In any event, from that scene the filn;I progressed to a space station with a comput- er gaining so much intellect it became smarter than the astronauts. It's hard to believe that this scenario Is almost becoming a reality here in Newport Beach. In some instances, our citizens have acted like the primates, hitting each other with old bones while trying to reinforce their own, personal argumept. · The primates in the film were not united and had no sense of community, which sounded all too familiar. It made me wonder where our sense of community has gone. The word •community• is defined as a unified body of individuals or people with commonjnterests living in a common area. U we assume the meaning to be accurate, then one must also assume Newport Beach is no community. We've been blessed with an incredible gift: Newport Harbor. A community would care and covet such an asset because it represents our past, pre- sent and future. But our community stands divided about its direction and future. Do we look to our past and make every effort to remain there, or do we look to our future and opt for change? The rhetorical question has no correct answer. There are those who think that new con-· struction sites, such as at the Balboa Bay Oub and the possibility of Italian villa-style hotel spas replacing landmarks, are symbol- ic of the monolith and a desire to develop every possible square inch of land. Others would like to see it stay the way it was when primates were here. I can't imag- ine that either perspective will work. . As more housing developments emerge and our local population doubles, we are facing the reality that we will have twice the traffic, twice the trash and twice the schools. But we can't •twtce" the harbor. . The size of the harbor is not increasing. But the need for more boat shps, more water access and more water surface will increose. The construction and proposed comtn.tc- tion encompassing our harbor reminds me of the days when castles were surrounded with water in order to protect the castle. It now appears our harbor is becoming surrounded by castles in order to protect the water. Quite a switch when you think about it. It wasn't too long ago that you could ctn~ around our harbor and actually see iL Now, if you want to view the water you have to buy a castle, sit at a waterfront window in a restaurant or join a private club (and you thought Penier aJld Evian were expensive). Rest assured, Newport Harbor is the most expensive water in the world. The cost: charm, character and community. VOLM. NO. 1J 1MDIMI M. JCll--Mlllltw ...... ~. EdlD u.

The present ordinance, passed two yearS ago in an attempt to eliminate prostitution houses fronting as massage parlors. requires masseuses to go through a rigorous licensing process to practice In Costa Mesa. But it has a loophole: state- licensed practitioners, including acupuncturists and chiropractors, do _not ~~veto get a city lic~nse. Police said they have received numerous complaints -verified bY undercover investigations - about prostitution in those busi- nesses too. If passed, the new ordinance would expand the licensing process to include state-licensed practitioners. Wfillt to expect The council is expected to adopt t)'le new ordi- nance. The city has sued workers for alleged prostitution at a number of Costa Mesa businesses during the last year. In October, the city sent letters to four landlords, alleging that tenants were engaging in prosti- tution on their properties. TOWN CENTER EXPANSION The council will continue dis- cussing and receiving public com- ments about the proposed 54- acre Town Center expansion, COSTA MESA CITY COUNCIL PREVIEW which has been in the works for months. The project -a collaboration between South Coast Plaza, the Oran~ County Performing Arts Centerand Commonwealth Part- ners LLC -~lls for a pedestrian- oriented cultural arts district bor- dered by Bristol Street, Sunflower Avenue, Avenue of the Arts and the San Diego Freeway. It also includes a new sympho- ny hall, expansion of South .Coast Repertory Theater, an art museum or academy. restaurants, an improved parking area and office space. What to expect: The council is not scheduled to make a decision on the project. The city staff has recommended that the council continue the issue to its next meeting Feb. 5. CENTERLINE RAIL PROJECT The council will consider mak- ing recommenda1ions to the Orange County Transportation Authority board about the pro- posed Centerline rail transit pro- ject. If approved. the 28-mile rail system eventually would shuttle • commuters between the Fullerton and Irvine transportation centers. What to expect: The city staff • is recommending that the council recommend a rail system with a station at Bristol Street and Anton Boulevard. It also is recommended that the Costa Mesa portion of the system be designed to match the overall architecture of the sur- rounding area, as approved by the counc!I. COMMISSION APPOINTMENTS The council will review an ordi- nance revising the way city com- missioners are appointed. If approved, the measure would allow each council member to handpick members of the plan- ning and parks commissions. The commissioners could be removed without cause by their appointing council members or by a majority council vote if they break a law. The coul'\cil now votes ~s a whole to appoint commissioners. What to expect: Council members Libby Cowan. Linda Dixon and ~aren Robinson have agreed they would like each council member to handpick a parks commissioner and a plan- ning commissioner but have not agreed on a method to remove commissioners. Councilmen Gary Monahan and Chris Steel have not support- ed the proposed changes but could be overpowered if the oth- er three council members vote to adopt the changes N!W BUILDING MORATORIUM The council will consider impos- ing a moratorium on new single- f amily houses and remodels. In June, the council placed a moratorium on multifamily dwellings while the city consid- ered new residential development standards for them. The Planning Commission approved the standards last week and the council is scheduled to consider them at a future meeting. FYI • WHA't. Cost.

Whet to expect: The council is expected to adopt a moratorium on new single-family develop-· ments and remodels until new standards are approved. Monahan said opposes the moratorium and will try to per- suade the rest of the council to deny it or to at least postpone a decision to give the city staff time to notify every single-family homeowner in Costa Mesa. "We are considering a morato- rium that will affect every proper- ty owner who has a home in the city," he said. "I understar1'd we are bringing new standards forward for review and I may very much like the new standards, but we would be changing people's right to devel-. op.their personal homes without notifying them, and I think that's wrong. "They need to see what we're doing to their ability to build the house of their dream. A man's home is his castle; it's not the city's." ~. Jonuory 15, 2001 3 Briefly~n THE NEWS ...

Sports Hall of Fame Celebrating the millennium Tennis •Senior standout froltl Palisades Tennis Club has been getting better with age, and is a surgeon with the slice. Richard Dunn DAILY PILOT the art of playing 1111 I r anyone understands doubles, it's senior 1111111 tennis phenom Jim Nelson of Palisades Tennis Club Newport Beach. A winner of about 65 United States Tennis Association gold balls -the prize for a national championship on the amateur circuit -Nelson captured his third career Grand Slam in 2000, winning USTA titles on all four surfaces (hard court, grass, clay and indoors). As a veteran of the game who has learned to play the angles and slice the ball, Nelson is a master at the net, according to longtime doubles partner LeMy Lindborg. •Jimmy's like a surgeon -I'm like a hustler. It works pretty well,# said Llndborg, a first-year player in the men's 65s, like Nelson. Nelson, who didn't start winning national championships until the 45s, played tennis in high school (Huntington Park, circa '53) and college (USC and the University of Utah). But never played juruor tournaments. tournaments with Duesler. But Duesler is one year younger, so when Nelson enters the first year of an age division (like this year in the 65s), he plays with Llndborg. In 1990, Nelson won his second Grand Slam, playing ""th Llndborg mth~ 55s. Ten yearS later, they did (t again, winning the USTA hard courts at Huntington Beach in July, the indoors at Seattle in August. on grass in early September at Seabright, N.J., and on clay in late September at Knoxville, Tenn. Nelson. who won seven straight national titles with Duesler in 1982 and '83 (coining dose to back-to-back Grand Slams), also triumphed in singles at the 2000 USTA Indoor Championships and reached the finals on grass in New Jersey, losing a third-set tiebreaker. •I look at (doubles) like it's more of a chess match,• Nelson said. ·voo've got to have good chemistry with your partner, good movement on the court and a good demeanor. Singles is more of a 1 physical effort. In doubles, you're working. but not like in singles, and doubles really is a team effort. Nelson, who played ~lm Nelson •1t•s something I certainly enjoy playing more than singles. but I like to keep my hand in sin~les. • on the All-Army team in 1958-59, started traveling to USTA tournaments in the 35s. •I was doing all right. but I wasn't winning any of the big ones,• he said. •1t just sort of came together for me when I hit the 45s. • _ At that point, Nelson was eager and got himself in excellent physical condition. In addition. some of the top national players m bis age group stopped playing competitively for various reasons. ·A lot of them played so much, they were not so interested in playing seniors." said Nelson, whose strong finesse game began to frustrate the circuit's power players. •The older you get, your legs become the most important thing. and guys with the big serve and big shots seem to lose it faster. The guys who keep their legs do pretty good.• · Since 1970, Nelson has won six International Tennis , Federation world titles and 65 USTA championships, mostly in men's doubles. Nelson also has national titles in singles and mixed doubles. A member of U.S. International Cup teems since 1982, when his amateur career akyrocketed. Nelson won his first men's doubles Grand Slam in '82 with Newport Beach's Bob Duesler tn the 4.5s. Nelson plays most national Along with his three Grand Slams, one of Nelson's highlights was winning an ITP world championship in England five years ago, his first campaign in the 60s when be was ranked No. 1 in the U.S. and captured two gold balls. While playing international Cup events for the U.S.; Nelson has played on two winning Dubler Cup teams (45s), two winning Austria Cup teams (55s) and three winning Von Cramm Cup tea.ms (60s). •Jimmy can put these little angles on you ~d he lobs well,• Lindborg said. He really can put the ball in a spot on the court where you can't get it.• NelsQn founded the Southern California Senior Tennis Society in 1972, which grew to over 700 members by 1983. It later merged with the Southern California Tennis Association. Nelson, the latest honoree in the Daily Pilot Sports Hall of Fame, bas also been an active USTA volunteer, serving on a variety of committees. A resident of Irvtne, Nelson has been an indepe.ndeot &tocltbroker ror several years, based out of Port Securities, Inc .• In Newport Beech.

On the quest of their fourth confer- ence championship. the Lions have been struggling to find their identity.

However, among those setbacks is an overtime loss to eighth-ranked Azusa Pacific, a two-point loss to Point Loma and Sat- urday's one-point heartbreaker. Dennis Keane scored a game-high 27 points on 11-of-17 shooting. He also had five rebounds and tbree assists.

The Eagles (7-8, 1-4) won the game from three-poini range, thanks to the duo of Brad DeGrenier and Adam Friesen. Friesen sco.red 23 points, including five three-pointers. while DeGrenier added 19 points, including five treys. •Give Concordia credit." French said. •They hit the open shots when they had them. Uofortunately, we gave them too many open shots.• Included in those open shots were back-to-back threes from Friesen, which gave the &gles their biggest lead of the game with l :<M remaining, 12-61.

Despite shooting 38% from the field against the Eagles (7-8, 3-2), Vanguard took advantage of its tree-throw opportunities. The Uons shot 20 or 33 from the charity stripe. while Concordia finished 10 of 15. Vanguard junior center Kelly Boeke led the Lions with 16 points and 11 rebounds and senior guard Becki Huddle scored 12 points, dished out seven assists and did not commit a turnover in 40 minutes of play. The Eagles were led by junior guard Taryn Commins who scored a game.high 23 points. She also had four steals and six assists. Concordia senior Jenny Hansen chipped in with 10 points. Aside from working their way to the tree-throw line. the Uoos relied on a phy¢cal defense. Vanguard forced Concordia to commit 19 turnovers, 12 in the first half. •Defensively we're doing pretty well,• Davis said. ·w~·re just not clicking yet. offensively. We're just not shooting the ball well. And, this is the same team that broke the national record with 290 three-point baskets. U it's just our shooting, we'll be OK.
