Those two said they'd rather wait until the city's general plan update is completed. Koll officials, who want to build a 10-story office tower at the cen- ter's southern tip near the inter- section of MacArthur Boulevard and Jamboree Road, said the expansion would help ease the city's traffic probleml rather than aeate more of tbem. On top of about $1.16 million in mandatory traffic fees, the devel- opers b.ve agreed to pay about 12 million extra for traffic improvements. But supporters of Greenlight, the city's new slow-growth law, hove already come out in opposi- tion to the project, saying that the money won't cover the costs to deal with increased traffic. Greenlight requires city-wide votes on cert.a.in projet:ts that add more than -40,-000 square feet or 100 dwelling units or 100 peak- hour car trlps over what's allowed by the general plan. A date for a speda1 election could be set sometime in the fall if council members give their final ·ox at · the July 2' meeting. -MetNI ...... COWf'S Newport Beach.

Daily Pilot Sunday, July 15, 2001 3 TraCki,ng doum the name of Newpprt Beach's first rnayar Etook awhile to figure out ho the first mayor of ewport Beech WU, but after some d.lscu.ssion with Susie Lamb Loold!J from the BICK ~T~trai Ubrary ('1ld after Lamb bad discussions with her own reference staff}. we've concluded that the name is Ma:n:us J. Johnson. He served from 1928 through 1931. He la little- remembered throughout the city -probably because it's been a good 70 years or so -and local historians admit to knowing h1I name, his title and virtually nothing about bis pelW>D4lity. Some even debate whether he wu the first mayor, which is understand- able considering the Pilot and the city's llbrary staffers did the same. But after wrestling with logistics, here's why we've decided Johnson's our first guy. Until the lZlte 1920s, New- port Beach was run by a government system involv- ing elected presidents and staffers named to a Board of nustees. So technically, the first mayor figurehead could be John King, the first board president to enter office after the city was incorporated in 1906. But we've decided to trust the facts in Jim Peltoo't hil-- tory •Newport Beach: The PintCenrury, 1888-1988." The predeceseor to this book, also by Felton and tilled "Newport Beach 15: 1906-1981," te11I us that Johnson was tbe ftnt leader named mayor and h1I coun- cil of Paul Ellsworth. Herman Hiller and Uoyd Clare • swooped in and replaced a team ol young'er men known throughout the dty to be on a power-hungry mission. It's a long story, involving matters regarding the city's jetties and conflicts between tben-dty engineer Paul Kreisler and a retired engineer named Lance Sher- man who had it out for the administration. But Johnson's council stepped in during the Great Oepreaion, which proved a difficult time for both fami- lies and government bodies. Newport Beach bad few industries then. making most of its money during summer months because visitors enjoyed the dty as a resort tOwn. 1be Johnson family's boat-building business was one ol the few that jump- started the industry. Marcus Johnson of Seattle and ~ father Gus, who moved to Newport Beach from the Pacific Northwest, founded G.V. Johnson Boat Works in 1921. Gus Johl\son originally started the business on a. barge and moved ashore a year !Ater to the oomer of 20th Street and Bay Front. Other boat companies fol- lowed, including Newport Beach Boat Works, which grossed an annual payroll of $80,000 by 1930. Marcus Johnson was elected again as mayor in 1930, before being succeed- ed by Dr. Hermann Hiller in 1932. • Do you know of a penon. place or event that dese'fws a historic.al LOOK mMX?

Interpretive Center is a hidden treasure in the Back Bay • More than 300 visit the Peter and Mary Muth Interpretive Center on Saturday during its first open house. D...tte Goulet DAILY PILOT BACK BAY -Every day, people jog, bike and walk their dogs aloog the Back Bay, many never realizing that nestled in the hillside is an unobtrusive treasure. Tbat ls the goal of the Peter and Mary Muth Inter- pretive Center, which opened in Upper Newport Bay in October -to see humans .and their habitat live in harmony. Although the center appears to be hidden, it is not meant to be a secret. In fact, more than 300 guests made their way down the winding dirt path Saturday to explore the center during its first open house. Children were invited to dive into the lun in the hands-on activity center. There, children could do fish printing, a custom the Japanese used to record their catches 100 years ago. They would paint a fish and press a piece ol paper on it, said Grace Vick, the senior park J~~~ Restaurant EstabUshed In 1962 ----- MrU, NUJn SJ>ecMI ~ Prla FlletM;pm.

"We're using rubber repli- cas and not real fish,• she assured. Another favorite was the "touch table,• where chil- dren could examine skulls and fossils and animal furs. "Oh, the bunny is my favorite,• said Alexandra Steiner, 6, rubbing the rabbit pelt to her cheek. Children were also invit- ed suggest names for four permanent residents of the center, a red-eared slider turtle and three snakes -a gopher snake, a king snake and a rosy boa. U the center chooses a c&ild's proposal, the child will win a guided canoe or kayak trip for four around the bay. "I think I would call him Noah's Ark,· said 4-year-old Caleb O'Neil, eyeing the turtle. Children were also invited to color, decorate a picture of a snake with glue and seeds to create a textured artwork, or create mud flat creatures out of clay. "There is a rich source of ·food for birds in the mud flats -clams, worms, fish -it's one of the things people Annual SAVINGS OF 30% -70% from our collections of: ZANELLA• IKE BEHAR• BOBBY JONES •CUTTER & BUCK CORBIN • REYN SPOONER BARRY BRICKEN •AXIS• RISCOTTO STARRINGTON • MEZLAN don't realize," Yick said. "When you look at (the mud flats in the Back Bay) it does- n't look like there's a lot going on.• That is one the challenges of preserving life in the bay, Vick said. People walk on the mud flats thinking all that is ha p- pening is that their shoes are getting muddy, when in fact they are destroying life and killing a major food source of birds. Already packed with exhibits and hands-on learn- ing tools, the center invited the Wetlands and Wild Lile Care Center of Orange County and the Birds of Prey Center to come and share the dsy. The wetlands center brought a snake, a desert tor- toise and tons of feathers, fossils and fact sheets to the party, while the birds of prey facility, naturally, brought birds -two kinds ol owls and a falcon. V1Sitors were also invited to help plant a butterfly gar- den in front of the center. Children could choose from nine different species to plant and water. Next to the plants, they stuck color-cod- ed flags bearing their names. "The butterflies will like it,• said JulieAnn Hamano, 7. holding up a purple flag on which she had drawn a but- terfly next to her name. With plenty of turtle and snake name suggestions, 150 new plants in the ground and an increased awareness, the open house let the hidden center's secret out. • I ' . . · QIJOIE'Qf ~AY ~ It was bumpy.

Kitty was born two years later and is an impressive 8,000 pounds. These ladies are not over- weight, but tbe JO-somethings are sporting a few wrinkles . And for the next two weeks they will also spoil a ring of flow- ers on their heads and bright red saddles. You may have seen them around in past years. They are two of the Asian elephants that for a mere S4 can be ridden and petted at the Orange County Pair. For 11 years, Kari Johnson and her husband have offered fairgo- ers the experience of a lifetime. Pony rides are fun, but hardly a rare opportunity. Now to climb atop an 8,000-pound Asian ele- phant -that's not something you do every day. "It's wonderful,• Paula Sleiman said. •We felt the joints, the hips move under you,• added her hus- band, Ray Sleiman. •It's a very interesting sensation.• Their skin is rough, and they are covered with sparse coarse hair. But thanks to daily baths with bn.tle brushes and special soap, they.are very clean animals. So where do elephants sleep? Anywhere they want on the Have 1hmk.s Will 1\'avel Ranch in Penis, Calif. Johnson said she has been training elephants since she was 14 years old, when she began an apprenticeship under her stepfather. Her husband has been in the business since he was only 16. The two now have eight ele- phants on their ranch, Johnson said. "We only have Asian because they are endangered, and we intere1ted in conservation,• she said. "Some of the most impor- tant work we do ls breeding - we have had two baby elephants -and a lot of research.• mephants don't often get sick, but when they do, very little is known about bow to help them. John.Ion said. The ranch ls not a nonprofit organization, so they use the money tbey make at the fair and parades to help maintain the ranch and to fund research, she said. Some of the recent prqjects include the use of ibuprofen -of which vets know the proper dosage for horses and other ani· mals, but not for elephants -an4 walk research, which is deter- mining arthritis and oth~r prob- lems by observing the animals' gait. The average passerby may not learn all this during their visit to the elephant tent, but the John- sons have put up signs with many other educational facts such as this one -elephants walk in their own footprints.

NOTEBOOK CONTINUED FROM 6 a couple ol weeks I'll be able to re.port on the status ol tbe wriggling creatlns in penon. I leave for a visit to the famUy farm OD the last day ol this month. · I know tbat Barney, the cow I helped raile1 will no longer be there. Neither will Pred. our pet bull. Maybe dad will let me feed the chickens. They have chickens in Centennial Parm at the fair- grounds. Big, pampered, noisy hem and confident rOOlten strut around the enclosed coop. Across from them are the sheep, smelly but cute with their woolly coats in varying lengths. Cows placidly chew cud in their holding enclosures, next to _a stall with a very large pig. The hog does not answer to the name of Wilbur as far as I can tell. No spiders or fantastical webs either. I looked. Crops in small, neat rows fan out near the animal enclosures al the farm. Bell peppers, com, pumpkins, even banana trees are grown here in patches. It made me long for the vast crop fields I knew as a Sunday, July 15, 2001 7 child. Every once in a while I get a bankeriDg for ~ cane, slloed fresh and drib= bling juice. The midways and mull~ • cal perfon:na.ncft may be what entic.es most people to the fair, but I hope while they're there, they'll c:beck out the agrlculture. 1be magic of growing things to eat, of planting something into the ground and har- vesting it for the table, seems more and more dif- fused every year as fanning becomes something people do somewhere else, not here. It's sad to me when kids think food is something tlult comes from a supermarket, not reahzing that it starts at a more basic level That the food holds a cycle of life and death inside 1t. That's the one thing l probably share with fdI'Oler's daughters every- where, that awar~ness. Must be genetic. Which reminds me, l need to talk with my dad about my predilection for country music.

(Ai it turned out the .... pldoul activity• in Heller Parle WU jUll a homeleM penon wandering aroUnd.) But this was not the tint time the chopper beat the ground units. Jt's lim· ple.-tbe helicopter gets to the scene before an officer on ground can Jump into bis car and buckle up. 1be dark blue chopper bas been ny- lng the skies over Costa Mesa and Newport Beech for the la.st 30 years. But lt was not until 1996 that the two cities joined.bands and bealme one team. said Lt Bob Qaldey, who commands the air- borne bureau based ln John Wayne Allport It used to cost the cities $2.3 million when they operated separately. That was sliced down to $1.8 million when they became partners, Oakley said. •Jt's a great example of how local government can join forces to provide better service at a lower cost to its citi- zens,• he said. The bureau currently operates with eight pilots, three mechanics and three helicopters. It shares the hangar with the Orange County Sheriff's Department to further lower the cost. The officers also remain on call for the city of Santa Ana, which pays them on a contract basis. Costa Mesa and Newport Beach have a •full-fledged• partnership and com- mitment to the program. says Oakley. ·we share all costs including that of the high-tech equipment we need to operate,• he said. Out of the six officers who Dy out of the base, four are from Costa Mesa and two from Newport Beach. The officers usually Oy in pairs and work nine-hour shifts. Both partners are pilots, but only one Oies the helicopter, while the other acts as the navigator and observer. Last year airborne officers responded to 6,518 calls, 722 of which led to arrests, acmrding to Oakley. What is the biggest advantage of air- borne enforcement? •Quick response,· says Oakley. ·we get an euiellent overview of the a1me scene. We can get there ahead of time and make sure officers on the ground are warned of existing hazardous conditions.• So, if a suspect at the scene of a aime bas a gun or a weapon. or if there is a big dog in a backyard, the guys above. who literally have a bird's-eye view, caution them about the perlJI that await them on the ground. · lb.at was exactly what Gleason and Post.er hoped to do oo a reamt afternoon when ground un1ta were looking for a· man who was reportedly trying to force a woman into a white Pord Escort near a Costa Mesa home. •There's the suspect car,• said Glealorl over the radio as the d:lopper cir- cled the area. "I can see the backyard and the sideyard. Can't see our suspect anywhere. And there's' no one in the car.• 1be officers continued their airborne swveillanoe till police cars with Oash- ing lights arrived. •oK, our job here's done,• said Gleason. resting h1I b1noculars on the side. •Once again we came all the way from North Newport to Costa Mesa," explained Gleason. •And still got here before the cars. ·we did our job by relaying tbe infor- mation that there W8S DO suspect around the house or lwtdng in tbe bushes - IOID8CIDe that could be a threat to the om- cers, neighbors or the pubJic. • Newport Beach espedally poses a great challenge to ground unltl in terms of topography -the way it is laid out with its bays and channels. •1t could take an awfully long time for an officer in a car to drtve from the dty's eest side to the west side,• Gleason said. When they are not aissaossing. the skies over Costa Mesa and Newport Beach responding to an array of calls from pursuits and assaults to robberies and auto thefts, these officers are patrolling their communities from above. •we're like a police car in the sky.• Gleason said. When they are tn no huny, the pilot flies the chopper at an altitude of 700 to 800 feet and at a speed of 50 mph. On calls they can fly at a speed of more than 100 mph, U necessary. As they flew across to Newport Beach. Gleason inspect.ed several parking lots, banks and residential areas. •0w1ng our day patrol. we check out areas where there are lot of homes bec4use people might be out to work and that's when a lot of burglaries hap- ped. • he said. Plying over South Coast Plaza and Metro Pointe, Gleason &aid he WU look- ing at pedestrians and children. ·From up here I can look at the body language and see when it changes,• he said. His instincts would probably have to be Q sharp as his vision. "Many times, we see that the person we have for a suspect~ up in jail. And that ieally feels good .• The pilots' next call was at a sandwich shop on Jamboree Road in Newport Beach. _ •Looks like we could have bad a rob. bery there,• Gleason said. .Above, Officer John Susman pre- pares the helicopter for Olght at • John Wayne Airport.

They drded over the shop at least five times till a police car arrived. "I can look at the back door to (the shop),• Gleason reported. •There's nobody there. Everything seems to be OK."

"They kind of automatically give up because they know they can't get away from us.· And that. in essence, is the biggest thrill of being a police helicopter pilot for people like Gleason. He says he appreciates the fact thatjle is not in a position where he watches helplessly as a criminal who ought be behind bars, escapes.

But a proposed crime- eviction program in Costa Mesa goes so far that there is very little reason to applaud. The city's Police Department has been drawing up the crime- eviction program, similar to one already employed in Buena Park. It would require landlords to evict tenants arrested for drug· or gang-related activities. In Buena Park, police begin the process by notifying land- lords when a tenant is arrested. Then a follow-up letter is sent ordering the landlord to evict the tenant and any cotenants, even if the cotenants aren't arrested for a crime. Since implementing the law in 1999, Buena Park has used it 128 times. But the city is now under fire. A landlord has filed a lawsuit contending the law is unconstitutional because lt infringes on the landlord's free speech, freedom of association and procedural due process. And who can argue with some of those points? Shouldn't landlords be able to rent an apartment to whomever they choose? But that's not the real terror of this law. Anyone can be arrested on suspicion of having committed a crime, but the United States was created on the basis tha~ people are inno- cent until pr-0ved guilty. This law clearly seems to tum that important tenet upside-down: People can be punished without being guilty. Seeing Buena Park's predica- ment, Costa Mesa wants its law to be more lawsuit-proof. Its proposed ordinance still is based on someone's arrest, but it then would require the city attorney's office to review the matter before a violation notice is sent to a landlord. who has 30 days to evict the tenant or file an appeal to the city. But those changes don't come near to making this law fair. And aside from the prob- lem of punishing people who are not yet proved guilty, there is the issue of freedom of associ- ation. If a landlord wants to rent to a convicted murderer, that's the landlord's prerogative. Just because the law -and much of society -loo~ down on crimi- nals doesn't mean everyone should be for1:ed to. After all, if everyone abided such a law, where would the criminals live? The streets? A city cannot be blamed for wanting to be safer; but there are other ways to go about it. 1 1 With this type of law, a landlord ' would be handcuffed and .A forced to not only serve as the bad guy in evicttng his tenant, but would also have to lose out on rent checks until be could find a new tenant. What type of sense does any of this make? Landlords should retain the right to rent to whomever they want, even if the list of his apartment tenants mirrors that of a rap sheet.

I ran aroUnd tbil pa.Ce a lat Wiien I WU a ldid. Then I joined 4-H, and when I was about 10, I started participating in the programs that were offered here at the fair through 4-H. I ... started working part-time, fair time only, when I graduated from high· ~chool in 1972, and worked every summer here. Went to college and got a couple of degrees, taught high school -did other things, but I always had the summers where I would come work at the fair. In 1982, I stopped teaching, and I did some contract work for the fair. At that point, they still didn't have a lot of full-ti.me employees, maybe six or seven in the early '80s. So I did a lot of part-time contract work for them. We started Youth Expo, which is our youth fair in the spring, and I was very involved in that .... Then I went full time working at Phoenix House (a resi- dential treatment facility) for about four years and then came full time here in 1986. Finally at that point they had added some full-ti.me posi- tions that we.re attractive. Aild what I started back doing was the con- tests and the competitions. I was the exhibit supervisor. And that's how I entered back in the fair. How long does lt take to pre- pare tor tllele 17 daysf You kn.ow, we used to say that we would start 1n August for the next July, but we're really now, we're probably 18 months out.

There have been problems in the distant put wUh fair workers and rides. What steps has the fair taken to ensure the safety and well-being of lalrgoerst I think one of the most significant changes that happened with the fair in terms of safetywas RCS-Ray Cammack Shows carnival -came to us in the early '90s. And their stan- dards of bow they treat their employ- ees and what they do to train them and the preventive steps that they take, such as mandatory drug test- ing. and we also do the 'Megan's Law on all of our employees, not just the carnival workers. The fair hires, as well, an independent safety compa- ny wbo inspect the rides daily, and they're also inspected by Cal-OSHA. And then the rides are also highly supervised by the workers and sometimes shut down if they notice something, then they'll bring a safety team in to inspect Our safety com- pany also inspects the fairgrounds, because it isn't just the carnival where you have potential problems. What I.I the best part of the fair tor your Of course, this week all we can hardly wait for is when will the food stands open up. We're just like everyone else. You know one day, .. Wellmon's, the grinder sandwich stand, opened early and we just - wooo.sh -ran over there. And yes- terday Rose's Mexican stand opened early, so we can hardly wait today to tee what opens early. The fair to me is a huge -it's a bringing together of diversity and it's a lot ot different types of diVeni- ty. It's ages, young and old. It'i peo- ple from different econoiniC 18Ve1S, people from different parts of the patioQ. It's people frOim dlllenmt parts Of the wodd, different etbnk:l· ties, different cultures -and l don't mean just ethnic cultures. There's a culture that follows Speedway races. There's a culture that follows rodeo. There's a culture that are many of the people who sell things here -we call them pitchmen. That's a culture. It's a certain type of people, and it is so fun for me to watch all those people come together. Once the fair is up and running. then I just like standing out there and watching people interact and do the things that we've planned for them to do and have a good time with it. What's the biggest challenge you have ln oveneeing all of this being put togetherf Well, the biggest challenge is also the greatest joy. The biggest challenge is bringing all that diver- sity together and then making sure everyone gets along. And it's a coordination not only of people then. it's a coordination of details. You can't move a piece of equipment without it having a rip- ple effect and so, it's not only train- ing staff to deal with that, but then we have all these outside contrac- tors that come in. And bow do you get them to make sure and say, · •Hey look, we've got to follow a certain plan with this so you can get your job done, but you're not adversely affecting someone else.• WIMlt II your favort .. lair loocU 1Uti Chips.
