South County has begun efforts to take the airport fight to the bal- lot box. AIRPORT Th~ El Toro R~us~ ISSUES Pl~g Authonty, the rune South Coun- ty cities trying to stop Orange County's airport plan for the closed El Toro Marine base, unveiled last week its long-antici- pated ballot measure that calls for a park instead of an airport. The initiative, set to appear on the March 2002 county ballot, would nullify 1994's Measure A. which established aviation as the base's primary nonmilitary use. Irvine Mayor Larry Agran and other South County leaders also presented a tentative plan to pay for the park by using the base's existing housing, warehouse space and agricultural lands to generate $25 million a year. Newport Beach officials said the park is •a chimera, an empty shell" because it couldn't gener- ate enough revenue to pay for environmental cleanup expenses. -Pu Olntan covers the environment and John Wayne Airport.

But residents were still outraged by the inci- dent, which led to the death of a great blue heron. Rick Jones, who NEWPORT lives on East Edge-BEACH water Avenue, found the bird walk- ing on his dock last Sunday. An X- ray of the heron's wing later revealed that an air rifle pellet had shattered a bone. Since this could not be fixed, the bird, which is protected by federal md state law. had to be put to sleep. Breeding' plumage and a broog- ftng patch, wnere plumage had . fh.fnned because the bird bad been sitting on eggs or new babies, showed that her death must have left young ones behind. A volunteer for the Wetlands Wildlife Care Center in Hunting- ton Beach checked Bay Island. where the heron was likely nest- ing, for the orphaned babies. She didn't find any. And David Beek, who operates the Balboa Island marine fuel dock. bas put up a $200 reward for infonnatiou leading to the gun- man's arrest. Anyone convicted of killing a great blue heron can face up to six months in prison and a $15,000 fine. _....,... WWder covers Newport ee.ch.

Nearly 4,000 homes were left without power starting around 9 a.m. when metallic balloons got blown into power lines. Luckily, the lights weren't out for long, just 20 or 30 minutes most places. Affected communities included those areas north of 18th Street, south of Adams Avenue, east of Brookhurst Street and west of Harbor Boulevard. Education suffered a bit at the Waldorf School of Orange County, a private institution on Canyon Drive. Because it was close to the tangled lines, students and teach· ers managed without power for three hours. -Jernt.r ICho cown COJtl Mela.

This was before the city was .Qffidally incorporated. In 1954, after the incorporation happened and a city council-city man- ager government was adopt- ed, Lee was hired as a fire prevention officer. He was made the first fire chief a year later, according to the bicentennial edition of the •suce of Orange,• released in 1916. . Six full-time firemen were brought on staff soon after, and in 1958 the department got a new substation near Fairview Road and Adams Avenue. The substation no longer ex:iSts, as the facility was repla.ced by the Baker Street fire station in 1967, but the growth is an example of how the department took off as its own while Lee was chief. By the time he resigned in 1964 with plans to work in public relations, the city bad three fire s1ations and 40 firemen, inquding eight fire captains. What had begun as a department with three pieces of fire equipment olso grew -into one with 15 pieces by the time Lee left. •He was a nice fellow, outgoing and a good person- ality,• said Dave Gardner, president of the Costa Mesa Historical Society and one who knew Lee around town. •we went to a couple par- ties together,~ he added with a laugh. Before arriving ln Cos1a Mesa, Lee worked as a fire inspector in Redondo Beach. Before that, he bad been a temporary fireman in El Segundo and was also part of the U.S. Naval Ordinance fire department at China Lake. His ver9'ftrst stint, though, as a member of the fire department wu ea a d!jver/engineer for a fire deportment at Colorado Springs. After he resigned from his post as chief, Lee left Cos1a Mesa. Gardner said he does not know what happened to Lee after that. . • 00 you know of a person, place or event that deserves a hlstorlcal LOOK MOU Lfl us know.

Ask any local in Costa Mesa or Newport Beach about it, and they will tell you stories about going to watch the motorcycles as a kid. Last year, the race track was near closure. It could have been the end of an era. But with renewed coopera- tion with Orange County Fairground officials, Interna- tional Speedway Inc. has established a new sense of cooperation and direction for the popular weekly races. The bleachers, restrooms, and arena entrance have been refurbished. And the regulars are still there, with their fox-skin hats, black leather riding gear and beers in hand, screaming at the riders and each other. It's not unlike any sporting event with fans cheering the folks they want to win. And every- one has their favorites. Week after week, riders from California to Europe come to test their abilities at one of the smallest tracks around, the one they call "the bull nng. •They have come to compete on hand- built motorcycles that have no brakes and can accelerate to 60 mph m 2.5 seconds. The only way to stop is to slide out of it or put your feet down. Since the bikes are hand made, riders have to know something about their machines. Most can reassem- ble and ~tch parts and rear wheels before the next race. Problems are immediately diagnosed, tinkered with and repaired, with the bikes ready for the next go a.round. To watch this process is an art form in'itseu: The Speedway experience is open. It's loud. You can shout. You're encouraged to. lf you follow along on your score card, you can see why the competition gets tougher and tougher as the night wears on. You can feel the tension build. But like a good prize fight, there are five guys who are battling for champion. What makes it so exciting 1s the winner-take-all-atti- tude. This year, some of the best riders in the game are at It again. Chris "Manny• Manchester, Bart •Simpson· Bast, Bobby "Boogaloo" Schwartz, Shawn "Mad Dog" McConnell, "Flyin • Mike Faria, "Gorgeous" Gary Hicks, Charles "Dukie" Ermolenko, and Josh Larson are just some of known riders who are competing week after week. Even though the elbow-to- elbow style of racing can be dangerous, most riders jump up, brush off and continue to compete. A good crash is good drama. Ll.ke any game there are fouls, accusations, high fives, penalties, cheers and special equipment. The creative and highly colorful riding leathers &re as individual as the char- acters who are riding them. .,. ~~--~ •J ••• FYI What Costa Mesa Speedway WheN: Coors light Arena, Orange County Fairgrounds, 88 Fair Drive, Costa Mesa When: 6 p.m. Saturdays through October Cost: $10 for adults, $6 for juniors~ 13 to 17 and seniors.

Cease the despicable and cowardly. acts A s a result of people who commit sense- less acts of vio- lence, we live in what can be a vio- lent world'. · Students go to school and shoot up their classmates and teachers. Older children wrestle smaller children with regret- table results. People plow their cars into greschool playgrounds and kill innocent children. The incidents can occur any- where and at any time. At some levels, they're preventable. At others, they're not. They're unfortunately facts of lite. But if those weren't enough to preoccupy our already wor- ried minds, there ar~ aJso peo- ple out there who would place sharp objects ~n playground equipment to ·apparently cut youngsters and who would shoot federally protected birds. Since March, a culprit or cul- prits have been strategically planting razor blades, and most recently a glass shard, on slides and other play equipment in Costa Mesa and Newport Beach parks. It would seem there could be no other motive behind the moves than to inten- tionally cut park users - whether young or old. While the two police depart- ments have stepped up their efforts to stakeout the cities' parks, no one has been arrested yet. However, recently, the inci- dents have become more rare and the police should be given credit for the new efforts. Still, we at the Pilot have one question we just can't answer: Who would do such a thing? So far, no one has been hurt. So the coward or cowards respon- sible should stop now while still "Parents have enough to worry about without having to wonder if their neighborhood parks are safe enough for their children to play in.

The bird is protected for a reason. There are few of the beautiful birds to go around these days, and the government and kind people are their only salvation. To add even more suffering to the situation, the heron had to be put out of its misery, which means it left its children motherless. So not only was one heron made to suffer, but so were a few who had yet to real- ly live. We bope'the authorities will soon catch the culprit or cul- prits, but until then our plea is simple: Stop. · ' Ruling on reefs poses danger for our coasts A year ago, we com- plained that the Cali- fornia Coastal Com- mission -which reg- ulates beach-side development and watches over delicate habi- tats -was overstepping its mis- sion by orde ring Newport Beach resident Rodolphe Stre- ichenberger to remove an artifi- cial reef he had built ;.ext to the Balboa Pier, The reef, which is made of rubber tires, plastic jugs and PVC piping, has become a refuge of sorts for the marine life that exists in our increasing- ly hostile offshore environment. Despite the apparent goo<i caused by the reef, the .commis- sion planned to go ahead with its order, but was halted by a lawsuit filed by Strelchenber9er in January 2000. Late last month we found out what the potentially disastrous results of his J.aWJuit are. In a ruling on the cuet the comJnission was declared un~tuUoiW by a superior Coult judge who said it Is not accountable to the state government or the voters. Following the decision, Stre- ichenberger applauded the ruJ.

Now, thanks to this wide-ranging ruling, any number of commission deci- sions -including recent orders to clean up Crystal Cove, for instance -could be chal- lenged. Then, that earth-shat- tering noise you willhear is a five-star hotel where the Crystal Cove' cottages now stand. Commission lawyers, of . course, plan to appeal the rul- ing and are urging the courts not to put the decision to work before an appeals court makes another decision.

The historical old fish cannery and then-popular restaurant run by Bill Hamilton was a victim, it seemed, of a community that was fast tiring of its quality of life being chipped away. Hamilton, facing competition from other restaurants, wanted to offer live entertainment in the evenings. But residents in Cannery Village and along the harbor fought the move. The restaurant business icon lost the war and called it quits. It was a sad day tor Newport Beach indeed. But today. things look brighter.

What special memories of The Cannery do you havef RS: It was the restaurant that rep· resented what Newport Beach was like when I was living be1-e .... At this point in We I wouldn't even think of taking on something like this except for the historical part of it and the charm. All my We I've been ~th El Cholo, and all I know is old bull.d- ings and history and creating memo- ries in restaurants. SH: A lot of my background bad to do with seafood. And this is a great building and bas great historical sig- nificance in that it was built in the early 1900s. I've always been a P.8Jt or historical restaurants to some degree. Ron has. I know he fell in love with it. I know I did when I saw it. What made you both decide to reopen The Canneryf RS: I wouldn't even consider it if hadn!t been the great potential to what you can do historically to this building. We can do a lot of research and make this almost a museum of what the history of Newport Beach was. I love Judge Gardner's column (m the Pilot}. The other element of it was that we have such an unbeliev· ably incredible landlord (Jack Q.oul). If hadn't been for those two things together, it wouldn't have been as enticing. WW the lack of Uve music have any effect on your plans for the. restaurant1 SH: There are a lot of restaurants that don't have live mUsic that are quite successful. It's our job to make this a fun place that has great food and . a great abnosphere, and that's what we are going to focus on . . . We're food people. I've never had enterta,in· ment anywhere where rve worked. Are you worried about The Can- nery's history of complaints wtth the nelgbbonf f~.. RS: 1 hope for the people living llere we can be not a negative but a positive thing. 1llis is going to be such a friendly warm place that they can drop in for something to eat, and it's convenient to t.bem. Maybe it will even enhance the value or their property. ~e both or your restaurant backgrounds or expertisef SH: Mine is seafood. I've done a rib joint and a Santa Fe restaurant. But my background is sea.(ood and fun and making it more interesting than just going into a restaurant, sitting down and being a great host.

I spent my afternoons working there and weekends. What wt1l make new •enlon of The Cannery standout from the . crowdf JlS: Just like El Cbo(o, we try and provide a place that is very comfort- a ble. If you've been to the Cat and the Custard Cup or Sonora, then you understand our seriousness about food and wine being as good as it can be. Our chef was at the Ritz for a number of years .... He's a great guy. The o~er thing we. have as far as I know is the largest boat landing of any restaurant in Newport Beach. That's a popular thing. SH: Also we're giving you four different areas in one restaurant.

The federal government bas concluded that the Local Reuse Authority is the sole authority responsible for the reuse planning. The PAA has concluded that we need more run- ways. and the local Southern Cali- fornia Assn. of Governments has concluded that El Thro is needed. If Irvine deems th.at the Great Park is needed. they do not need to waste time with an initiative. They only need to raise their taxes and build the Great Park in the soon-to- . be-annexed 3,500 aaes north of El Toro. We can have both a great air- port and a great park.

How rational is it to tum an existing airport into a park for the use of the residents of Irvine? Maybe the citizens of Newport Beach and Costa Mesa should launch an initiative to turn John Wayne Airport into a park also, as it is less than 10% the size of the El Toro site and we are entitled to the same amenities that the fair citizens of frvine are. Let's face it, nobody wants an air'port in their backyard, but to put one in their neighbor's backyard so they can benefit from its proximity is not right either. The dty of Irvine is approxi- mately 30 years old, and the m Toro ajrport was there prior to that as a Marine Corps base. It ls a little late to say, ·ob, it's too stinky and noisy. Remove it.• And U it's not too late, then we should follow their lead and do the same with John Wayne Airport.

If tlus is such an important item to the bust· nesses of Irvine, then the city should welcome a bigger airport closer to those companies. Tl'le good and the bad usually go hand in hand, but Irvine wants only the good and gives the bad to its neighbors. One final thought: U Irvine suc- ceeds in developing the park in a portion of the El Toro airport, wb.ere . is the electrlcicy going to come from ror the tecbno)i>gy park and hous- ing? Maybe an alternative can be worked out. Build a complex of power plants at the base to serve the needs of a)l of Southern Califor- nia. That at least ls something US&- ful for the entire state.

NEWPORT BEACH -With the playoffs just around the c?mer, the Reds are picking a good time to get red-hot in the Majors Division of the Newport Beach Little League. the Reds grabbed a full head of steam when they sruzed opportunities and received a remarkable pitching performance from Jake Lemmerman, leading to a 4-2 victory over the Red Sox Saturday, at Lincoln Elementary.

Jake Lemmerman then came on. perhaps literally, when he struck out the first four batters he faced, using l~ pitches. He then walked two · batters, but Burke came up with the d~ensive play of the day. Playing shortstop, he fielded a grounder tagged \be runner advancing to third and sprinted to tag second base for a double play to end the fifth inning.

The Newport Beach Little League Majors Division teem answered a 5-0 deficit and rallied for a 7 -5 win over the Yankees at Llncoln Eletp.entary Saturday. The Yankees (8-7 in the American division) scored five runs in the first inning, appearing to be in the driver's seat. But. the Mariners (9·6) crashed the party with a two-run second and a . four·run third. For good measure, the M's picked up another· run in the .fifth. "[twas a game for first place in our (Amel'ican) division," said winning manager Brlan Freeman. ·we battled back. We never quit, never gave up. I'm very proud of them.· The first-place standing for the Mariners was short-lived, however, because the Reds took ~ of the Red Sox lJter on in the day as there are two games remaining before the playoffs. Nevertheless, the contest had a huge bearing on the standings and the Yankees fulfilled the bype with their five.run first inning.

Andy Morrow later clubbed for a two-run base bit, scoring Marin-Finn anQ Pab1ck Brennan, who singled. The batting order went around and leadoff hitter, Saint John Jr., cracked a hit to score Taylor Fanning. The Mariners' pitching and defense then held the Yankees. scoreless. It didn't help that the Yanks were playing three short of their usual 12-player squad. After Brennan bit bis base hit, he started to feel the effects of the stomach nu and was pulled out of the game. , Robble Lusk, the usual leadoff batter, is out with a broken collarbone ond Jack Lamford missed ~ause of other plans. "lbey really gave it all they had,· Coach Vinnie Saint John said of his Yanks.
