For years. we worried that Newport Beach officials and local airport watch- dogs we re spending all their time lobbying for a new county airport at El Toro at the risk of seeing the grains 9f sand tum- ble through the John Wayne Airport flight extension 'hour glass. That all changed about one year ago, when the City Council veered off that dangerous course and put many hours into secur- ing a new agreement that would allow for some minor growth in the flight caps and at John Wayne itseU while keeping the restrictions solidly m place. The new plan, which will be in effect until 2015, calls for a ,boost in annual passengers 'from the current 8.3 million lev- el to 9.8 million. Further, cargo flights will go from two to four, noisy flights from 73 to 85 and the number of airport gates from 14 to 18. Added to the complexity of this proposal was the timing. City officials knew they needed to complete the deal . )Vith the county before the Great Park measure vote Tues- day, which could in effect kill the promise and dream of an El Toro airport. They made it with one weP-k to spare. This political maneuvering was crittcal because with the supervisors now sigried on to this new agreement, known as Scenario 1, the county will be stopped from pushing for any major expansion of John Wayne if indeed ,Ei Toro is placed in peril atb{r Tuesday's election. With the county aboard, the next steps involve garnering sup- port from the Airport Working Group and Stop Polluting Our Newport, tWo groups who along with the city and county were sigriatories to the historic 1985 settlement agreement that put the original flight caps in place. There is every indU;ation that will happen. 1 We'd like to take this oppor- tunity to congratulate city offi- cials for working so stridently on behaU of their residents to get this deal brokered. The resi- dents were truly served by these actions. Don't forget to get out and vote Tuesday I t may seem this Tuesday's vote is all about Measure W and the future of an El Toro airport. But, as a lways, there are many important deci- s10ns to make as we exercise the cornerstone right and privi- lege of our country. In this Republican strong- hold, there is the deasion in the GOP gubematoriaJ primary, which polb; show has tightened up between former Los Angeles Mayor Richard Riordan and businessman Bill Simon. Sec. of State Blll Jones also is-among the trio of top candidates look- ing to unseat Gov. Gray DaVis in November. It's a decision that could drastically change the direction California heads in the next four years. There is the heated and increasingly nasty campaign for district attorney between Dist. Atty. Tony Rackauckas and Deputy Dist. Atty. Wally Wade~ There are the far less heated primaries for our state Assem- bly and Senate and our repre- sentatives, which deserve our attention no less. There are numerous statewide initiatives, as well. But most of all for this com- munity, there is Measure W, which, if it passes. would jeop- ardize plans for an airport at El Toro. It a'lone wouJ4 seem clear enough reason to get out and vote. Your polls open Tuesday morning. '"' THE LAST WORD ..

Ready for a showdown Readers' opinions continue to vary regarding the El Toro debate as Tuesday's election nears i!J!!rl · DI BATE 'The reality is that every resident in Newport Beach and Costa Mesa should be voting "No on Measure W."' Outcome detrimental to Newport-Mesa Pilot columnist Steve Smith does himself a disser- vice when he re~rs to the issues in Measure W as being a "no-brainer" (Family n.me, "In this day and age, we need more parks"). lf he was to wake up a few more brain cells, he might find there is no "park" in the Great Park. Does he honestly believe JbA.-"G.r:.o.o}.~; ....,~ ..,:". '-_~ih~~~~~~~:;;l~lfiliill without all Orange County homeowners paying t,ncreased tues? Does he honestly believe the creators of the Great Park have any expectation that the plan being conveyed to the voters can actually be accom- plished ? I wish the world was as. simple as the analysis given in Smith's column. But since it isn 't, could the Pilot please give us a columnist who takes the t:i.Itle to look beneath the surface on an issue that is so important to local residents? The reality is that every resident in New- port Beach and Costa Mesa should be voting "No on Measure w .· The whole purpose of Measure W is for South County residents to avoid carrying their share of the county's future air traffic needs at a facility that is designed to be an airport and that has a preexisting buffer zone for residential communities. The outcome for local res- idents is disastrous, as Mea- sure W seeks to force New- port Beach, Costa Mesa and other corridor cities to carry the entire burden of future air traffic needs, without any 6utterzone • ROBBY CONN Newport Beach 'J fly out of JWA a few times each month.

There are traffic and quality of life issues as well. ly affected by the airport. I think this is the best place to live m the world. My boys are still here too. So, they must like 1t here also If We near an airport is so bad, why stay here? Becaus.e it's not bad. A buddy of mine bought his house within a few blocks of the end of JWA about the time I bought my home. He raised two boys . there. The vltlue of his house has tripled. His boys are \ doing just fine. No negative impact as I can tell. Right now, the perimeter of John Wayne is all homes, offices and industrial parks. No room to grow. The change in the fligh t limits will affect us more than any- one else. The question we would have is why? Why should we be asked to accept the potential effects when there is a perfectly acceptable existing airport in South County, capable of taking up the additional capacity? U you fty in and out of JWA and live in South Coun- ty, you're trading what you think is your quality .Jf We for ours. You're ~ selfish and self-centered. If you fiy, you should want your own airport within a few minutes of your home. If living near an airport ts so bad, why force that image on us? I'm telling you it's not so bad.

It seems as though we can lay to rest such fears, thanks to the oty councils of New- port Beach and Costa Mesa and the hard work of the Airport Working Group. Or can we? The Newport Beach City Councl.l has taken the lead in drafting the settlement agreement for John Wayne Airport. The agreement has many faces. The council's favorite is Scenano 1, a slight expansion consisting of four addibonal gates and a 1.2- million annual passengers increase, while maintaining the existing curfew restric- tions. There are more • uglie~ faces, scenarios that paint major expansion plans with no restrictions, but the coun- cil does not like to talk about Scenario 1 's uglier twins: They only want to promote Scenario 1, the lesser of evils.
