Over March, April and May sever- al razors and sharp glass pieces were found in Costa Mesa and Newport Beach parks. No one has been injured so far.

But the profiler could not pinpoint a personality or spe· cific trait. Police say it could be people who visit parks on a regular basis, such as teenagers or homeless people. But they say they are not sure if all the aimes were commit- ted by the same peli;on or group of people or if some of them were copycat incidents. An investiga- tion is ongoing.

Junec:u.pancle DAILY PILOT NEWPORT BEACH-Their bicycle is built for two, but they ride for three. For the seventh time Saturday, Newport Coast residents Terri and Jim Koberstein boarded their tan- dem bike in the annual MS 150 Bay to Bay Bike Tour. The 100-and 150-mile bike ride is a fund-raiser for multiple sclero- sis sufferers like Terri's father, Ted Gaydon. And though he's too weak · to participate in any bike rides, he's always with Terri and Jim in spirit. In fact, a whole team of workers from Terri's company, PacifiCare, call themselves Team Ted in honor of the 65-year-old Fresno resident. "It's a fun ride,• Terri Koberstein said. "It's noi a race and because it's up the coast, it's beautiful scenery all the way. And you're doing something important.• The more than 1,200 riders start- ed out from the Newport Dunes between 7:30 and 9 a.m. Saturday. •It's exciting to see all the enthu- siasm and to see so many people concerned about the issue of multi- ple sclerosis,• said Jim Graves, an organizer of the event for the O range County Chapter of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. For most riders, it's a 100-mile trip. But more energetic cyclists opted for the 150-mile course designed to get them to the same place about the same time as riders on the shorter tour. By evening, all were scheduled to anive in Carlsbad. There, Kobe~ st$ said, is one of her favorite parts of the tour: a luau for the rid· ers that includes live music and all the food they can eat after a day of strenuous cycling. "You can eat all.you want with- out worrying about gaining weight,•. she said. Then, first thing Sunday morn- ing, the riders will take off for their ultimate destination: San Diego's Mission Bay district. The reward that awaits them there may be the greatest of all; they'll get an air- conditioned ride home in chanered coaches. Last year, the event raised $620,000 to fight the debilitating disease. Multiple sclerosis is the most common neurological disease in young adults. It attacks the brain and central nervous system causing serious symptoms like paralysis and blindness. In Southern Califor- nia, about 16,000 people have been diagnosed with the disease. 1'kbts wltta dte ortpiW September 14, 15 A H datn will be MDO~ OVER 30 RESTAURANTS. 15 W JNERJES.

MemOries of the Hotel Balboa YOWtg Chang DAILY f>lLOT Robert Gardner speaks candidly about the old Hotel Balboa. •1t was not what you call a high-class establislunent or any real- ly great contribution to our dty or our history.· the longtime Corona del Mar resident said. . plain and black and lookl•r But the hotel, BA( rickety as it was, was a pioneer landmark on Balboa Peninsula. Before the Four Seasons, Hyatt New- porter and the Newport Marriott hotels brought glitz and visitors to the city, Hotel Balboa was it in this part of town. It's safe to call It Balboa's first, since no history books nor residents recall any other hotel built earlier on the strip. But other than the hotel's biggest claim to fame-it was built in 10 days -the old lodgmg place has be<:ome somewhat of a Main Street phantom as it has disappeared from the peninsula and from people's memories. No one remembers why or when the hotel closed. The construction of the Balboa Inn in 1930 caught a lot o1 local attention, as the lodging place was extravagant and luxuri- ous. It was even placed on the Regis- ter of Historical Property in 1985. But the history of Hotel Balboa was apparently less treasured. Here are the facts as we know them. A man named Cluis MacNeil and his construction crew erected the buildlllg in Just 10 days. The hotel opened on July 3, 1906, just a day before the Balboa Pavilion offi- cially opened. It was just in time to lodge the visitors who would stop by on the eastward-expanding Pad.fie Electric rail. . The project was one of the city's earlier attempts to draw visitors -a commodity that's still hot today with waterfront restaurants and hotels. The hotel stood near the Pavilion, a casino that took up the comer and a set of apartments that still stand. A restaurant in the lobby was called the Liberty Cafe, which referred to the eatery's Uberty Sand- wiches (a post World War I incarna- tion of hamburgers). "The only thing it ever bad going for it was that it was built in 10 hours or something (like) that.· laughed Gardner, who said be never set foot in the building. Oddly enough, the local judge doesn't remember many visitors staying at the hotel. Instead, he remembers the roam patrons being employees who worked on Main Street. •Do you know of a person, place or event that ~ a histOl'ic.al Loak a.di? Let us know.

It means being able to sway public opinion, to shine above the masses and to pro- vide a vision for the future. It also means taking responsibility. Recently, we've seen cracks appear in the foundation of our local leaders. The first crack appeared with Jim Ferryman. the longtime Newport-Mesa school board trustee who police allege was driving under the influence of alcohol when he crashed into a car on Newport Boulevard a week ago. The results of the test on Feay- man's blood alcohol content have yet to be released, but the trustee has admitted to our reporter that he made a "mistake.• The second crack came with the former pastor of Rock Harbor Church, Keith Page. Page revealed to church leaders that he had been engaged in an extramarital affair and announced last Sunday to his congregation that he would step down from his leadership role. Page's transgressions have deeply hurt his family and, of course, the 2,000 or so member.; of the church that he founded. It has shaken their trust In bim and their belief in his leadership. But Page acted as a leader. He not only admitted his flaws in a public manner, but he has taken responsibility for his actions and stepped down from his role as a leader. He realized his ability to provide that aforementioned vision has been altered. Whether he is able to return at some point is yet to be seen, but for now, Page has done the right thing. Ferryman has done no such thing. After admitting his "mis- take• he has since reacted with anger to our reporter's inquiries, vowing to never speak to us again. There has been no statements bom Fenyman regarding bis abili- ty to oon!inue on as a leader of our schoolchlldren. lbese children may be ln1lu- enced by his actions. 'Ibeire same · children and teens must live within the district's tough zero-tolerance rules regarding drugs and olcobol. While Ferryman may not support the zero-tolerance policy, It is nonetheless the policy of the board and the district be helps govern. Friends of Ferryman have atti- d2ed this newspaper for reporting his anest. saying it has no rele- vance to his leadership on the board. Indeed, several of bis col- leagues on the board. except for Wendy Leece, have refused to comment on bis actions, preferrtng instead to say what a good trustee he's been. lbat may be, but we say to Fer- ryinan and his supporters that a leader must take responsibility. If the allegations are true, Ferryman didn't simply have a drink. he bad a d$.k and then drove his car, endangeringthoseontheroad near him. If thars not a severe error in judgment. it's hard to tell what is. 'Due leeders, such as Pastor Page, reaJiz.e that thoee severe errors in judgment hamper one's ability to · lead further. Ferryman needs to acknowl- edge that and address the commu- nity and school district he helps lead. Whether it is an apology, a promise to make amends or even stepping down from the board, as a leader Ferryman has very little choice. He needs to take respons1b1lity and do what he can to rep&ir those cracks In the foundation. Get out your IDQney and reinvest it in Newport-Mesa T here's lots of people pay- ing lip service to our country's unity these days. But talking about unity and acttnq on it seem to be two different things. We believe it shouldn't be and urge our .residents to support local business, and in tum businesses should support us.

CoMMCJNDY FoRuM ~. Odober 7, 2001 • Keepiri.g things in order and on track Costa Mesa Planning Commisslon Chairwoman Katrina Foley can breathe a bit easier alter forwarding the Home Ranch project N aw that the Costa Mesa J>lanning Commission has recommended that the City Council approve the Home Ranch project, commission- ers such as Chairwoman Kabina Foley can breathe and sleep easier and reflect on the hurdles they overcame with the discussions over the project. On Thursday, Assistant City Editor James Meler sat down with Foley in her new Newport Beach law offices to dis- cuss Home· Ranch and other issues: Was the Home Ranch project the biggest challenge you've faced since Joining the Planning Commlssionf Yes. It was the biggest challenge because of at least three reasons. One, the volume of material that we had to review and, not only just read, but understand. You know, most of us up there are not planners or transportation experts or trans- portation engineers by trade, and so we have to try to understand stuff people have spent 20 years learning. And so, that was a really big chal- lenge, and I did my best to try to understand that and ask as many questions as I could think of, as well as ask quesbons that were posed by residents to help me understand. Secondly, I think it was by far the biggest challenge because of the history of the project and trying to balance what was before with what is now. And thirdly, it was a big chal- lenge because, I think Commission- er Eleanor Egan said.this, you have to face your neighbors and your friends who might disagree with you, but you have to think about what you feel is the best for the city in the long run, not just today, taking into account other factors such as future plans for transportation, circu- lation improvements, future possibil- ities for residential, future issues related to tax base. All sorts of com- plicated scenarios. For me, I have a neighbor who lives across the street who was staunchly opposed to the project, and l req:>ect his position but it makes it difficult because you live near people who disagree with you significantly. But I just hope every- one can understand that I think the whole commission -and I can com- fortably speak for the whole com- mission -really pored through and really listened to all the different points of view as well as we could. So, will We on the commission get any easier for you now that the project bas been forwardecl to the City Coundlf Well, I would have maybe said that prior to Monday night's City Council meeting given that I heard they decided maybe to send the Michael Shrock house back to us. But that's obviously not as signifi- cant. And we do have the sign ordi- nance review coming up, which is somewhat controversial in the busi- ness community. But, other than that. we have the general plan to review, and it's merely a technical update so it shouldn't generate much controver- sy because there are no policy changes. What WU the most frmtratl.Dg aspect of WOrtliog OD a project with 10 mucb ldltory aad. for the publlc, coatro~enyt Well, for me, was when you all would print things th4t weren't exactly accurate as to what hap- pened at the ~sion meetings. Specifically, with regard to open and fair meetings. it really frustrated me to read that I was somehow being undemocratic when I really com- pletely disagree. Because I have always been a proponent for more input rather than less. I think it's important, though, with a project of that size or any other project that in order to efficiently manage the meeting, you have to have some reasonable restrictions on the community input. l think as a commission, we really tried to be reasonable in our restrictions, espe- cially when one of the times it was going to be continued and we didn't want to have dual meetings, essen- tially. We didn't want to take all of the community input on one evening when we were going to continue the item to the next meeting, and that's when the real public hearing was going to take place. . And I th.ink there was some mis- communication about the moves at the Sept. 10 meeting. So, l think the most frustrating thing for me was the perception that somehow I did not conduct the meeting in a fair and democratic way because I'm sensitive to U because I was really supportive of a special study session for the resident groups. It was a 4 112-hour study session. Someone requested it, and I supported it 100%. In fact, I raised it at the com- mission level. I proposed this year that the com- mission have commission objectives. Three of mine related to improving atteSS and understanding. and I th1nk that can be done in a lot of ways. Ac:ces1 because sometimes when you're listening, everyone's t4lldng in acronyms and using plan- GREG FRY I DAil\' I'll.OT ning lingo, so it's hard to even follow what's going on. so I asked that we have an acronym definitions page attached to the agenda I think that's important because if you give peo- ple the tools to understand what's happening, they can participate a lot better. And it's helpful for me, too, to have that handy little acronym list. Then, the other objective I had was to set up an annual open house for the Planning Department so that people can come in and see what the planning division is like, like these are the normal processes-that you go through when you file an application for something. And I think that helps for people to under- stand and participate. Sometimes we get applicants who have no one to help them other than the staff, so they really are at a disadvantage. The third thing I asked was for us to have quarterly seminars. They would be publicized, videotaped and a.ired on the Costa Mesa chan- nel. where people could come in and give sort of lraffic 10 l , Overview 101, 1bis is the Specific Plan, basics of the planning issues. So, I think in those ways, I have been really trying to involve the public. For the Home Ranch project. I personally sent out e-mails off the Web site to all the people I know without taking a position. I told them this is a meeting that's coming up, please come and give your commu- nity input. So for people to say I'm somehow [denying) their nghts in not allowing community input is absolutely wrong. And I also always allow people to finish their sentences, which is important because sometimes the three minutes ts up .and people are in the middle of a thought and I by to be respectful o! that and allow them to finish. I rarely cut people off. I usually give them extra time. WUt l.mplred you to join the Planning Commlulonf Well, the opening came up and I am interested in dty politics and county politics and interested in government in general. And I had just bought a home in Costa Mesa and so I wanted to get involved, so I spoke to !council members) Linda [Dixon) and Libby (Cowan), who l had met, and they suggested that I apply. I think it's a really good way for people who possibly have future aspirations to -I am a true believer in "You need to learn from the ground up and move up• and I think sometimes people don't st.art at the bottom and start right at the top. I have learned a lot about planning and government and the benefits and disadvantages of government And this is a nonpartisan position, so it's really unique in that regard, so you don't have your typical 1V polit- ical 1Ssues that you deal with. Do you have any desire to be a Costa Mesa c:ound.l member at some polnt1 Well I don't know. I really, honest- ly don't know. I think it's something that I'm interested in pursuing depending on the time and circum- stances of what's happening in both my personal and professional We. I nught have interest in some other (elected) position Within the county. Do you have any other goals for the commission in the near futurel We actually have approved some other commission objectives and one really important one that I'm really interested in is energy efficiency standards that staff IS working on right now for the city. I really think it's important. I had wanted us to be reviewing the recommendations from staff by the summer, but, gtven other issues confronting us, we did- n't get to it. 1'wo Uungs recently came up. We need to talk about Bnstol Street improvement plans because we have people wanting to come in with developments that meet the code requirements, but then staff recommends denial because it's not really part of what they envisioned for Bristol Street. So we need to have a vision if we have one and we need to IIUlke sure everyone knows what it is. I also think that -Commissioner Egan has really been pushing for it -and I think it's important that we # come up with some standards for drug and alcohol counseling cen- ters. We do quite a number of these centers -I'm not talking about resi- dential -in our community. I actu- ally dealt with a case that we repre- sented where a woman was against a coUflSellng center. and I discov- ered there's not a lot of oversight by the government of these centers. People are very vulnerable who attend them, and they really need to be regulated in ·my opinion. There is regulation through the court-m.an- dated centers, but not for just yow basic one. They're not required to be state-licensed or anything like that unless they have some sort of medical provider there. So, I think it's important that we work with the state and come up with standards for not only our city, but try to encourage -and I've met with Assemblyman John Campbell - state regulation. It'll help everyone, including those living adjacent to these centeTS. ·Hopefully, a poeni will help those devastated by terrorist attack Heather lolinnan SOUNDlflG IOAID Attocldng w wtth ltote and anger And culng what made U1 pioud, By dutroylng what mode ua "° great. we watch In shoct • Ute ~,... untold.
