THE PAPER FOR PEOPLE WHO LIVE, STAY AND PLAY IN NEWPORT BEACH

By Sara Hall | NB Indy Discussion heated up between Newport

Beach City Council candidates and several journalists Wednesday during the Feet to the Fire Forum.

About 75 people attended the open for-mat discussion at Oasis Senior Center, but there were three people whose absences were duly noted.

Chairs set up on stage for candidates Mar-

shall “Duffy” Duffi eld for District 3, Kevin Muldoon for District 4 and Scott Peotter for District 6 sat empty during the event.

“I’m taking the issues that matter to Newporters very seriously and I didn’t want my positions to be presented in an unprofes-sional forum, especially considering the hard work and effort put into the other nine com-munity forums I’m attending,” Muldoon

voted unanimously Tuesday to approve the John Wayne Airport settlement agreement amendment.

The process was deliberative and collabor-ative, said Supervisor John Moorlach, whose district includes JWA and Newport Beach.

The goal was to strike a proper balance between the impacted residents around the airport and the air carriers that are using

the airport that would be acceptable to the FAA,” Moorlach said.

He is pleased with the outcome, he noted.The approved amendment will prohibit

commercial planes from departing or arriv-ing before 7 a.m. Monday through Saturday and 8 a.m. on Sunday. They are prohibited from departing after 10 p.m. or arriving after 11 p.m. all week.

The curfew will be extended through

By Sara Hall | NB Indy The fi rst set of fall 2014 classes for the

Community Emergency Response Team started last week

Groups of Newport Beach locals and other Orange County residents gathered at the Santa Ana Heights fi re station on Tues-day, Thursday and Saturday to learn how to become better prepared for themselves, their family and their neighborhood in the event of an emergency.

I was among the volunteers participating in the all-day Saturday session.

After covering various CERT events and other stories, I thought it was about time I joined the team.

Supplies for the class include a nearly 200-page custom Newport Beach handbook, an even thicker manual that covers a broad spectrum of topics from the national CERT organization, a disaster supply kit checklist, and, upon completion, helmet, goggles, vest and nametag.

My group of 17 CERT volunteers ranged from teenagers to retired seniors, men and women, from various neighborhoods throughout the city and a few out-of-town-ers, and from all walks of life with different levels of experience.

The group was eager to learn and several attendees asked thoughtful questions and discussed the topics during breaks and lunch.

CERT program coordinator and Newport Beach Fire Department life safety specialist Matt Brisbois led the class.

“Thank you for volunteering to take care of yourself,” Brisbois said. “That’s what this program is all about.”

The Community Emergency Response Team is a FEMA training program which cover the skills and information necessary during a disaster.

“This is about educating you about what could happen,” Brisbois said. “It’s about get-ting you ready and having realistic expecta-tions of what you need to do following any type of unexpected disaster.”

In the event of a disaster, emergency resources are quickly depleted and cannot provide immediate aid to everyone. People

The Newport Beach Independent is the only local newspaper exclusively focused on Newport Beach. No other paper offers more in-depth coverage on the people, issues and events in Orange County’s

most affluent and dynamic community. Every Friday, more than 21,000 copies are delivered to homes

and businesses in Newport, offering advertisers an outstanding opportunity to reach this market.

By Sara Hall | NB Indy A variety of topics were discussed at

yet another city council candidate forums recently.

Newport Beach Women’s Democratic Club met Sept. 16 in the garden room at Five Crowns in Corona del Mar for their discussion.

They may differ on public policy and strategies, said club president Jean Hastings Ardell, but they all share a passion for what’s best for the city, county, state and country.

Candidates on the panel included Tim Brown, Roy Englebrecht and Kevin Mul-doon for district 4, and Scott Peotter and Mike Toerge for district 6.

Diane Dixon, running unopposed for dis-trict 1, and Rush Hill and Marshall “Duffy” Duffi eld, both for district 3, were all absent.

About 30 people listened as the candidates answered questions regarding pension costs, infrastructure, outsourcing, fi re rings and more.

The event kicked off with a set of candi-date introductions that were a bit different compared to the other forums. Hastings Ardell read the bios, which included playing shopkeeper in Don Giovanni at Orange County Performing Arts Center (Brown), an appearance in a Fantasy Island episode (Englebrecht), birthday meals of shish

By Sara Hall | NB Indy City Council took time during Tuesday’s

study session to review the city’s fi nancial standing, including a presentation from staff and a discussion among council members.

Mayor Rush Hill requested an overview of the city’s debt and pension obligations at the last city council meeting. City Manager Dave Kiff and Finance Director Dan Matus-iewicz gave the presentation.

Several council members asked or com-mented about revenue, city fees, pension liability, equities market crash, civic center and park project costs and more.

Many of the council members’ questions were just “Isn’t that correct?” or similar and simply confi rmed what they had just stated.

As the only public speaker, city watchdog Jim Mosher questioned whether the urgency of the presentation had something to do with the upcoming election. Hill is facing an opponent (Marshall “Duffy” Duffi eld) who questions whether the city’s debt is as fi scally sound and as responsibly managed as what was presented.

There is a whole slate of candidates run-ning on that theme, he added.

“I do not necessarily endorse the slate of opposition candidates, but I do think having this glowing review hastily prepared at this exact moment smacks of a campaign stunt,” he said. “I would question whether a cam-paign stunt to benefi t one of the candidates over his opponents is a proper use of public funds.”

The discussion did involve several council members bringing up the election or ideas or statements made by some candidates.

Less than 10 minutes in, Councilman Keith Curry was the fi rst to mention it when staff spoke about city debt.

“Several candidates, for example, in this election have suggested that the thing for us to do is to sell city assets, city property, city real estate, and use those proceeds to pay down our debt,” Curry said.

His comment was referring to the old city hall property, recently leased to R.D. Olson Development to build a hotel, as he specifi -cally mentioned later.

There have been questions regarding

By Sara Hall | NB Indy City staff presented an update on

major park projects to the city council during a study session Tuesday.

Public Works Director Dave Webb spoke about three projects: Marina Park, Sunset Ridge Park and Sunset View Park. All three are on schedule and on budget, he reported.

There has been some question about the city’s ability to deliver municipal

projects on time and on budget, Coun-cilman Tony Petros noted.

“This is precisely the right answer and the correct answer to all of those who question our ability to deliver,” Petros said.

The 10-acre Marina Park includes two major buildings (a 10,500-square-foot community center and an 11,000-square-foot sailing center), 23

By Sara Hall | NB Indy City Council candidates have been busy

the past week, attending three public forums and discussing a variety of topics.

Friends of OASIS held a discussion on Sept. 5 at the senior center. Speak Up Newport quizzed the candidates during their meeting on Wednesday. And Corona del Mar Chamber of Commerce hosted a panel with the council hopefuls on Thursday morning.

Marshall “Duffy” Duffi eld, District 3 can-didate, was absent from the CdM forum.

Moderators for the events were former mayor and city activist Evelyn Hart, premier

entertainer and showbiz veteran Jim Roberts and CdM Business Improvement District advisory committee chairman and the CdM chamber’s Local Community and Govern-mental Affairs organizer Bernie Svalstad.

The OASIS crowd was the largest with more than 120 attendees, while SUP asked the most questions. The CdM group focused many questions on their neighborhood.

District 1 candidate Diane Dixon opted to only give opening statements at the last two and let the others answer questions since she is running unopposed.

to being turned into an upscale boutique hotel after City Council unanimously ap-proved several related items this week.

After nearly an hour and a half of discussion, council voted 6-0 Tuesday in approval for the Lido House Hotel lease and several land use amendments. Coun-cilman Mike Henn recused himself.

“This really is exciting,” said Mayor Rush Hill, calling the project “fi rst class.”

“I’m going to be real proud to sign that lease,” he said.

Council approved amendments to the general plan, coastal land use plan and the zoning code. All three changed the site’s public facilities designation to mixed use.

By Sara Hall | NB Indy A new public dock and an expanded

Balboa Marina may be in the future for Newport Harbor.

The Planning Commission held a study session last week on the Mitigated Negative Declaration for the Balboa Marina West project, located at 151 and 201 E. Coast Highway.

The project would expand the Balboa Marina with 24 new private slips and relo-cate four and build eight new public slips for a new public dock.

It would also include construction of a 19,400 square feet marine commercial building for a yacht brokerage offi ce, public restrooms and a possibly a restaurant.

They have not defi nitely determined what to do with the building yet, said Dan Miller, Senior Vice President of entitlement and public affairs for the Irvine Company.

“We’re working at a conceptual level at this point,” said Planning Program Manager Patrick Alford.

The process is also a bit different for this particular project, he said.

Last week the commission discussed the MND for the project, not the actual project.

Normally, the commission would review an environmental document and the project at the same, Alford explained. In this case, the commission reviewed the MND before receiving the application for the actual project, he noted.

“This is a little unusual,” Alford said.The project also has two components: A

waterside component, which is under the purview of the Harbor Resources Manager; and a landside that the Planning Commis-sion will see at a later date.

Then the two components of the project will be combined into one application to the California Coastal Commission for a permit.

Randy Nichols, senior project manager with the city’s environmental consultant, TNB Planning, prepared the initial study and the draft MND.

“The entire initial study is based on some

Chef Pascal sent us his menu for the evening, and it’s impressive: Hors d’oeuvres include venison pastrami on fresh baked biscuit and homemade mus-tard, and curred wild sturgeon with pick-led fennel on a brochette. Dinner features dungeness crab cake with prickly pear and cucumber salsa, mesquite air dried smoked trout with sage rub on watercress with lemon and sea salt, roasted wild boar chop with nettle and pine pesto, wild rice “chili,” and apple and date cobbler with wild berry coulis.

We recently attended the March of Dimes Celebrity Chefs Auction, which featured a number of local chefs offering samples of their signature menu items.Among those was Chef Deborah Schnei-der of SOL Cocina, who was serving

Baja-inspired tacos. She told us she was working on a new fall menu, which of course peaked our interest.

Her menu is out, and it’s full of fun dishes such as Firing Squad Mezcal Shrimp (sautéed shrimp with mezcal, chipotle, pineapple, and fresh tomato fired up in an iron cazuela and served with butter lettuce leaf wraps) and Puerto Nuevo Lobster Tacos.

“Our new fall menu shifts towards Mexican comfort foods,” said Chef Deb. “The wine harvest is in, farms are over-flowing with wonderful fall produce and fruits, and the Mexican shrimp season kicks off. It’s a great time to be in Baja!”

Additional new menu items include pomegranate guacamole “en nogada,” shrimp toritos, sweet corn and crab soup, duck tacos, grilled giant shrimp (butterflied, skewered and grilled), torta bufalada, and vanilla and chocolate flan.

after such a gruesome loss, he became an alcoholic and petty criminal, even spend-ing time both homeless and behind bars.

Eventually, Ellroy got clean, and found work as a caddy on Los Angeles’ many golf courses. It was during these days, as he walked the courses, that he first began to harness his storytelling capabilities. Combining his narrative skill with his interest in crime, and fascination with the underbelly of L.A., the concept for a novel began to take shape.

That novel, “The Black Dahlia,” meshed the story of his own mother’s murder, with the details of the famous crime he had read about in his youth, giving birth to a series of books that would come to be known as the L.A. Quartet, and later, inspiring a movie by the same name.

Universally dark, Ellroy’s novels shine a light on the seedy side of the City of Angels, depicting a place where corrup-tion is tightly woven into the fabric of law enforcement and politics, and everybody can be bought for a price.

Falling into both the crime noir and alt-history genres, The L.A. Quartet, comprised of “The Black Dahlia,” “The Big Nowhere,” “L.A. Confidential,” and “White Jazz,” tells the tale of the shadow life in Ellroy’s hometown during the

1950’s. This post-war era was a different time to be sure. “Politically correct” was a term that had not yet been coined, nor a notion that had been imagined. Racism was not only acceptable, but often the norm, and women were meant to be in the background, anticipating and filling the needs of the men.

Along with the L.A. Quartet, Ellroy is well known for his other series of books: “American Tabloid,” “The Cold Six Thousand,” and “Blood’s a Rover,” which collectively make up the USA Underworld Trilogy.

From the pages of these seven nov-els, Ellroy has culled the characters that make up the backbone of his new book, “Perfidia.” In a unique meshing, he takes key figures from his past writing to launch The Second L.A. Quartet, a new series, of which “Perfidia” is the first. Rather than carrying their stories forward, he takes readers back in time, as he crafts a prequel.

“Perfidia” finds us in the 1940s, on the cusp of war, as the Japanese bomb Pearl

Harbor. Formerly a safe community for Japanese-Americans, Los Angeles finds itself embroiled in the same race hate as the rest of the nation, and a Japanese family of four is brutally murdered.

As the novel endeav-ors to solve this crime, it examines the larger crime of war itself.

In conjunction with the launch of this new flagship novel, Ellroy

will be visiting the Newport Beach Public Library next week. As part of the “Library Live” series, he will discuss “Perfidia,” participate in a Q&A, and sign books.

The event will take place at the Central Library on Thursday, Oct. 30, with doors opening at 6:30 p.m. The lecture will begin at 7, with a book signing and coffee reception immediately following. While it is free of charge, a ten-dollar donation is suggested at the door. Advance reserva-tions are also strongly suggested.

For more information, or to make reservations, please visit nbplfoundation.org, or call (949) 548-2411.

MENU, Page 13

Imagine being a ten-year-old boy growing up carefree in California in the post-war 1950s. Then, imagine how life would change on a dime when your

mother’s body was found dumped by the side of the road in El Monte, her murder never to be solved.

For me, the sce-nario seems patently unimaginable, but it actually happened to

acclaimed noir author, James Ellroy.

As a boy, Ellroy devoured crime novels, and developed a particular fascination for the case of Elizabeth Short, known after her death as the famous victim the Black Dahlia.

After his mother’s death, however, he became a young man haunted by his demons. Unable to reconcile his emotions

Earlier this year, Sherman Library & Gardens launched a monthly Garden Fusions Ddinner series that has become extremely popular, and it’s easy to see why.

Each dinner has a horticultural theme that combines the expertise of a nursery

expert with the culi-nary prowess of Chef Pascal Olhats of Café Jardin.

The final Garden Fusions dinner of 2014 is Thursday, Oct. 30. The theme is California Native

Plants with guest horticulturist Antonio Sanchez, Nursery Manager for Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden.

The evening starts with hors d’ oeuvres in the central garden among California native plant beds. Sanchez will talk about the best plants for your coastal garden, and offer tips on how to care for them.

Chef Pascal will serve his California-inspired dinner on the central patio, and he’ll do a special cooking demonstration.

The evening concludes in the tea garden for dessert.

A signature drink is included during the hors d’oeuvres hour. Beverages, tip and tax not included. Friends members of Sherman Library & Gardens tickets are $50 per person. Non-members are $60.

October is drawing to a close, but there’s still time to enjoy the Oktoberfest menu at Bayside Restaurant.

Austrian native Paul Gstrein, Bayside’s executive chef, has created a number of traditional dishes with his contemporary spin.

Some of his items: Schweinerucken Cordon Bleu with breaded pork loin instead of chicken along with Black For-est ham and cave-aged gruyere cheese served with wilted spinach and lemon sauce; Wiener Saftgulasch (Vienna-style braised beef short rib served with potato puree, charred mini-peppers and Brus-sels sprouts); and Kasekrainer Bratwurst (smoked pork sausage stuffed with Em-menthal cheese and served with sauer-kraut, roasted potatoes and sweet and spicy mustard).

We’ve enjoyed Chef Paul’s Oktoberfest menus in the past and intend to sample this menu while we still have time

By Sara Hall | NB Indy More than 500 people learned vital information about what to do in case of an emergency at a city-wide event last weekend.

The Newport Beach Fire Depart-ment hosted the Fifth Annual Disaster Preparedness Expo on Saturday at the Newport Beach Central Library.

Attendance was a little lower than usual, said NBFD life safety specialist Matt Brisbois, but he was still pleased

with the turnout.There were a lot of locals there with

specifi c questions and concerns, he added.

“It was nice to have all that informa-tion right there, ready to be provided to them,” he said.

Booths included: City of Newport Beach, SoCal Edison, Orange County RACES (Radio Amateur Civil Emergen-cy Service), Alert OC, Ready OC, NB

SEPTEMBER 21 & SEPTEMBER 22

The Newport Beach Police Depart-ment is nearing the conclusion of specialized Motorcycle Safety Enforce-ment Operations in an effort to lower deaths and injuries.

These operations began in August and continue through the end of September. Extra offi cers are on duty patrolling areas frequented by motor-cyclists and where motorcycle crashes occur. Offi cers are looking for viola-tions made by drivers and riders alike that can lead to motorcycle crashes, including being under the infl uence of drugs or alcohol, speeding, making illegal turns, or any other dangerous violation.

Motorcycle fatalities saw a drop of 37 percent from 2008 to 2010, but fatalities rose nearly 18 percent in 2011. Operations like this are aimed at curbing rises in motorcycle deaths and sending the numbers back down.

In 2012, Newport Beach saw 37 motorcycle-involved collisions, which resulted in 39 injuries and no fatali-ties. So far in 2013, Newport Beach has seen 31 such collisions, resulting in 30 injuries and one fatality.

California collision data reveals that primary causes of motorcycle-involved crashes include speeding, unsafe turn-ing and impairment due to alcohol and other drugs.

The NBPD is also reminding all motorists to always be alert and watch out for motorcycles, especially when turning and changing lanes.

According to the NBPD, as the economy continues to improve, more drivers are on the road, including novice motorcycle riders who are untrained and unable to handle the power of today’s motorcycles.

The NBPD message to all drivers and motorcyclists is to share the road. Riders can obtain training through the California Motorcyclist Safety Program. Information is available at CA-msp.org or (877) RIDE411.

Race for the Cure Takes to the Streets of Newport this Sunday

Thousands of runners will be taking to the streets of Newport Beach this Sunday, September 22, for the 22nd annual Susan G. Komen Orange County Race for the Cure.

The event connects breast cancer ad-vocates, survivors, families and friends, in support of Komen’s mission to serve people and save lives.

“Each year, the Race is the one inspi-

rational community event that honors those whose lives have been touched by breast cancer,” said Marie Cammack, 2013 Race for the Cure chair. “Every $125 raised above the registration fee can pay for a mammogram for a woman in need.”

The Race is a family-friendly public event fi lled with poignant memories,

Southern California Edison’s “routine” replacement of two utility poles in Bluebird Canyon was anything but routine for the residents of 50 nearby homes. They received mandatory evacuation orders prior to Wednesday’s extraction by helicopter of two utility poles located behind properties on Wykoff Way.

Despite the mandatory evacuation notice, Bluebird Canyon Drive resident Lori Solomon said she was caught off guard because she assumed that Wednesday morning’s intermittently gusty winds might keep the copter grounded. So when a

worker knocked on her door to give her a 15-minute warning at around 10:30 a.m., she had to scramble to get out the door in time.

Solomon received written notice a couple of weeks before and SCE representatives went door to door last week to make sure residents understood they would need to temporarily evacuate their homes between 9 and 11 a.m.

Laguna Beach Public Works Director Steve May said the evacuation protocol stemmed from Federal Aviation Administration guidelines. FAA rules prohibit aircraft

’ 93 Arsonist Never Caught By Loreen Berlin, Special to the Independent

Twenty years ago this month, a savage fi re devoured 14,000 acres of Laguna Canyon wilderness and

ravaged multiple neighborhoods.

The fi re that destroyed 391 homes and threatened more than 1,000 others at the time

was believed to be the work of an arsonist, but the perpetrator were never found. Investigators collected evidence statements, received 480 arson leads and ruled out non-human causes, but investigators were never able to determine who started the fi re.

“That’s the frustrating part of our business; often the fi re destroys evidence,” said Scott Brown, division chief of the Orange County Fire Authority, which investigated the blaze because it ignited fi rst in county territory.

On that fateful day, Brown was a fi re captain and one of the fi rst arriving engine companies, No. 222, on the scene in Laguna Canyon.

Investigative reports on the Laguna fi re of 20-years-ago were purged, according to Brown, as records are required to be kept for only seven years.

While the “cold case” arson may never be solved, the impact on human lives that dark day in Laguna history

Tennis Courts Set for RepairsBy Rita Robinson | LB Indy

Line-up Reshuffl ed on Two Stages

After years of tension between the school district and the city over responsibility for the deteriorating tennis courts at the high school, the courts are finally set to be competitive again.

With a joint-use agreement approved by the City Council last month, school board members voted this past Tuesday, Oct. 8, to spend $69,000 to hire Irvine’s LPA, Inc., architectural and engineering firm, to firm up a $620,000 repair plan expected to be completed by next August.

By Gina DostlerReal work takes place in the

kitchen. Kitchen designer Debbie Nassetta taps advances in appliances to make these spaces more efficient, less tiring and enjoyable for her clients. She and her husband Nick combine their expertise as owner of Newport Beach’s RoomScapes.

Q: What makes a successful kitchen?

A: The design is very important and getting a seasoned pro really helps to put experience and understanding into making a useful, functional kitchen in your home. For instance many times the main focus is on cabinetry and countertops. But what about spacing? Keeping proper clearances is important, such as distance from island to counter for ease of cooking. Or island to wall where seating might inhibit people from walking behind. The basic

kitchen triangle is always a good place to start.,

Q: Explain the kitchen triangle.A: It’s taking the kitchen workspace

and its three most important points: storage, prepping/cleaning and cooking. From here you want to make the kitchen flow. One leg of the triangle shouldn’t be too long where it takes many steps to go to another point. Then again, you don’t want it too short where it becomes too cramped to move. Moving efficiently and comfortably is the goal.

Q: Name a common challenge that comes up.

A: Everybody wants an island in the kitchen. Many times these wonderful work spaces can interfere with one leg of that work triangle and pose spacing problems. Placing an island can cut the refrigerator off where you’d have to walk around. These days these challenges are met

by the incredible appliances that are available. You can keep the big refrigerator on the other side, but have another smaller refrigerator below the island hidden behind a cabinet to keep the triangle in flow.

Q: How do appliances factor into a pretty design?

A: I love to cook. And because of that I know what every kitchen gadget, accessory and appliance needs to keep it functioning. So when a customer wants to improve their kitchen or make a new one, I always start with a list of appliances. Because if you are a home pro cook or prefer takeout, this all factors into designing the perfect kitchen for you. For someone who loves to cook and doesn’t mind all the cleanup, we’ll look into big gourmet gas burners. But for the non-cooks a glass induction stove probably would work best. CONTINUED ON PAGE 2

Q: Glass induction?A: It used to be glass electric

cooktops, the smooth stove without any burners that easily cleans up. The newest thing is induction. It’s been around for over 30 years but was too expensive for most consumers. It looks the same as the electric cooktops but it doesn’t heat the glass top. The heat transfers directly into

In Newport Beach, there’s a dedicated eatery for nearly every type of cuisine. Waterfront restaurants are primed to offer all types

of seafood, and ethnic specialties—including Italian, Mexican, Asian, French, Mediterranean, Thai and even Irish—are well represented. Still, like everything, there’s always room for improve-ment. In our case, we come up short in the arena of Southern-inspired fare.

Leslie Nguyen and John Reed, co-owners of the recently opened Bosscat Kitchen & Libations, stepped in to fill this void with a space dedicated to comfort foods with a Southern flair. “We put a spin on all the basics,” John explains. “We wanted to have a menu that’s very decadent.”

The employees at the restaurant, which is located just around the corner from John Wayne Airport, are as knowledgeable as they are friendly—and more than willing to guide patrons through the menu. One of the most highly touted appetizers

is the mouthwatering Duroc pork belly pou-tine—potatoes are transformed into fried wedges using a secret recipe by chef Peter Petro and are mixed with pork belly, cheese curds and gravy all underneath a duck fat fried egg. Another option is the plate of collard green poppers with Carolina mustard sauce—the greens are slowly braised, then battered with cornbread for one wholesome snack.

Appetizers could easily satisfy anyone’s appe-tite, but it’s the entrees on the menu that give a new meaning to the word “stuffed.” Take the Bosscat burger: The menu says it comes with all the fixings, which is something of an understate-ment. The beastly burger stands more than six inches high, and between the two homemade buns smothered in a black garlic sauce are layers of lettuce, tomatoes, slices of Parmesan, cheddar and blue cheese, and bacon bits.

The faint of heart may instead opt for the Cajun chicken that’s prepared with a brick weight

and served on top of Carolina gold dirty rice that packs a punch with an array of spices. Other Southern staples on the menu include a savory black-eyed pea panini, shrimp and grits, and beef short rib.

To wash it all down, there are more than 100 types of bourbon, scotch and whiskey stored in a room complete with lockers to house personal stashes. Novice whiskey drinkers interested in trying the liquor can order a mixed drink like the signature Bosscat cocktail, a blend of Basil Hayden bourbon mixed with lemon, rosemary, basil and a dash of bitters.

If you didn’t save room for dessert by the end of the meal, then at least order the red velvet churros to go. Though not at all synonymous with the South, the churros were the one item chef Peter requested stay on the menu. Made to order, the sweet cinnamon treats are the best way to end the hearty experience. NBM

By Sara Hall | NB Indy The California Coastal Commission met

in Newport Beach this week, prompting demonstrations outside the civic center, both in support and protest of specifi c is-sues.

About two dozen protesters, many dressed in gas masks and hazmat suits, waved signs and chanted against hydraulic fracturing Wednesday morning on the corner of Avo-cado Avenue and Civic Center Drive. The group was directly in front of the Newport Beach Civic Center and City Hall, where just inside the CCC was meeting.

The Center for Biological Diversity organized the demonstration, which also in-volved several other environmental groups, and sent a letter to commissioners urging them to “press the federal government for greater oversight of fracking in federal waters off California’s coast,” according to a press release.

The protesters also wanted commission-ers to demand “consistency review” of frack-ing in federal waters, the statement reads.

Andrea Weber, a paralegal for the Center for Biological Diversity, leads protesters Wednesday outside the Newport Beach City Hall while the California Coastal Commission met inside council chambers. The organization was protesting offshore fracking. Protesters wore gas masks and hazmat suits.

A tutor was charged on Monday with crimes related to illegally changing grades of students at Corona del Mar High School during the 2012 to 2013 school year.

According to a joint press release from the Newport Beach Police Depart-ment and the Orange County District Attorney, Timothy Lance Lai, 29, is charged with one felony count of second degree commercial burglary and four felony counts of computer access and fraud. If convicted, he faces a maximum sentence of five years and eight months in jail.

He is free on $200,000 bail. His ar-raignment has been rescheduled for Nov. 4.

According to the press release, at the time of the crimes, Lai was a private tutor for students who attended Corona del Mar High School. In 2013, Lai is accused of breaking into the school and inserting a USB device into a teacher’s computer that was able to record the teacher’s keystrokes.

Between April 1, 2013, and June 14, 2013, Lai is accused of accessing the school’s network using the information from recorded keystrokes and changing the grades of three students from two different teachers.

On June 14, 2013, one of the teach-ers discovered that grades for students had been changed and contacted school administrators. The school administra-tors contacted Newport Beach Police Department, who investigated this case.

In December 2013, during the investi-gation, another USB device was discov-ered on a third teacher’s computer.

Shortly after the investigation began, the defendant is accused of fleeing the country. NBPD arrested the defendant on Oct. 6 when he arrived at Los Ange-les International Airport.

The investigation by NBPD is on-going. Senior Deputy District Attorney Brock Zimmon of the Special Prosecu-tions Unit is prosecuting this case.

By Richard Simon | NB IndyAs you walk around Big and Little Balboa

Islands, you can’t miss the 25 small blue and white signs that suddenly appeared last month atop the decades-old seawalls.

The signs show two proposed wall cap heights to help defend the man-made islands against rising seas.

A 2012 study by United States Geological Survey projected that sea levels along the California coast will rise as much as one foot

in just 20 years, two feet by 2050, and fi ve and a half feet by 2100.

Both climate change and a sinking of the landmass of much of California will dictate the Golden State’s new reality.

In 2010, after a three-year-long study on sea level rise, the city concluded that Big and Little Balboa Islands would need protection from a rising Pacifi c.

Jennifer Erickson | LB IndyEven as Laguna Beach County Water

District prepares to raise rates over the next five years to pay for the escalating cost of supplying local customers with 1.5 billion gallons of imported water annually, local resident Michael Beanan sees a solution in what he describes as a “goldmine”: 4 billion gallons of treated sewage that spews into the Pacific Ocean from an outfall pipe off Laguna’s coast each year.

Unlike the alchemists who never succeeded in turning base metals into gold, modern scientists have transformed wastewater into drinking water, which might as well be liquid gold given its increasing scarcity in drought-stricken California.

But that transformation is extremely costly and so far seems to be an undertaking of only huge water districts.

Currently seven projects in the state are permitted to perform this modern-day miracle of expanding groundwater supplies with water purified by state-of-the art treatment plants, including Orange County Water District, which supplies water to 20 northern and central Orange County cities and water agencies. The city of San Diego has also recently completed a demonstration water purification project that, if eventually approved full-scale, would be the first in the state permitted to supplement a surface water supply, the San Vincente Reservoir, with treated water.

A Drought of Solutions for Drawing More Water

By Jennifer Erickson | LB Indy“Is this a three-ring circus I’m in, or

what?” asked incumbent City Council candidate Kelly Boyd about midway through a boisterous debate hosted by Firebrand Media, owner of the Indy, Tuesday night at City Hall.

Firebrand owner Allan Simon fired provocative questions at the seven candidates vying for three City Council seats in the Nov. 4 election. Though he outlined a format for questions, answers and rebuttals in advance, Simon reserved the right to change things up as he saw fit.

The circus analogy rang true at times during the somewhat unorthodox debate as candidates alternately

‘Diploma’ Raises Questions Anew Over CandidateBy Andrea Adelson | LB Indy

Embattled Laguna Beach City Council candidate Jon Madison, whose academic and professional claims cannot be independently verified, this week went on the offensive and produced one of two college diplomas that he says demonstrate the veracity of his resume.

Even so, the authenticity of the document Madison produced only raised more skepticism. The Cornell University diploma purporting to grant Jon Jay Joseph V. Madison a Ph.D. in horticulture on May 26, 1979, does not appear to bear the signature of Frank H.T. Rhodes, who was Cornell’s president in that year, nor that of David L. Call, who was dean of the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences in 1979.

Graduation that year actually occurred on May 28, according to the May 23, 1979, edition of the Cornell Daily Sun, Ithaca’s daily newspaper.

And in 1979 the university discipline was known as the Department of Vegetable Crops, a precursor to the Department of Horticulture, according to citations in the 1979 scientific journal Horticultural Reviews and the university publication Cornell Chronicle and website Cornell Plantations.

Cornell’s registrar has no record of Jon Jay Joseph Madison attending the university, Cornell spokesman Joe Schwartz confirmed again Tuesday, Sept. 30, reiterating a similar query made by the Indy on Sept. 8 of a slightly different name, Jon Jay Madison.

In the statement released to supporters this week, Madison conceded he did not take the California State Bar exam and thus cannot properly describe himself as a lawyer, a claim he made in a sworn 2012 application for appointment

A one-of-a-kind oceanfront property in Lower Three Arch Bay enjoys panoramic white water views of Salt Creek Beach and the Pacifi c Ocean. It all begins with a private gate opening into a secluded courtyard and what is believed to be one of the fi rst

homes built in the gated community. The house on a cul-de-sac lot has a very deep setback, which likely would not be duplicated

today. The property replicates a home located on the Amalfi Drive in Italy and was totally remodeled in 1984 and last sold in 1991. It has a spacious layout with a Mediterranean fl air and 67

feet of frontage. The home is equipped with a security gate.

ONE ON ONE WITH MATT BROWN:

From Roller Coasters to Grain Silos, He Defi es GravityBy Gina Dostler

Embedded in the nursery tale about the three little pigs is a truism that informs structural home design. One made of straw, the other of wood and the third made of bricks. Whereas the brick withstood the forces of the windy wolf, the others came crashing down. Yet in an earthquake zone, toppling brick from a rigid structural design proves more predatory than the wolf at the door. It’s Matt Brown’s job as president and chief engineer at Newport Structural Design to keep structural integrity in an architect’s design.

Q: This is not a career one hears of too often. How did you start in it?

A: Well, like the ol’ cliché, I played with a lot of Legos in my childhood. Since grade school I planned on being an architect, chose all the elected classes in college and some semesters before I graduated I realized I might have it wrong. I wanted to design the structure of buildings and learned architects work on the aesthetics of the building. Structural

engineers make it stand. So I added courses and received a bachelor of arts in civil engineering as well as in architecture and continued on with a master’s, emphasis in structural design.

Q: Structural engineers are sort of the unsung heroes of incredible structures.

A: I bet most people would not recognize the names of those who built the incredible buildings around the world, except maybe one, Gustave Eiffel whose name marks the tower he designed. No, we don’t get much recognition. We are in the background making structural integrity a sure thing. Roller coasters wouldn’t stay up if it wasn’t for us and what fun would that be?

Q: You and gravity are friends then, right?A: Gravity is an adversary that brings out the

best in structural engineers. With buildings most foundations are designed to withstand gravity’s force pushing downward and the structural load must

ONE ON ONE WITH WENDY POSNER:

Art Buyer Inherits a Collector’s Gene By Gina Dostler

As Aristotle once wrote, “The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance.” In the modern era, artists continue to depict their views in enchanting paintings, heroic sculptures and other mediums. Wendy Posner’s world revolves around integrating the work of emerging and established artists into the environments of corporations and private residences.

Q: Posner Fine Art had small beginnings yet now operates worldwide. What’s the story?

A: My mom founded the business 50 years ago. She was an army wife, traveling to many different army bases all over the world. When they finally moved back to Milwaukee, she established a top-notch fine art collection in her basement. As business grew, she bought a small house and converted it into a gallery. And when she visited some clients in SoHo, New York, she fell in love

with the whole scene and brought an idea back with her.

Q: Which was?A: To bring the SoHo to her town! She loved the

fact that business and apartments sprung out of old factories. So she came home and ended up buying an old knitting factory, 14,000 square feet, and filled it with 18 full time employees. The gallery was on the first and second floors. The third and fourth floors she converted into condos. And the fifth floor she and my dad lived in.

Q: So how did you get involved?A: Actually, by the time she had converted the

factory I was already in college studying at Boston University. I started out in the fine arts division then transferred to the communications department in advertising and public relations. I always said I would never get into my mother’s business. I Wendy Posner

ONE ON ONE WITH ANISSA SWANZIE:

A Kitchen Designer Intent on Attainable LuxuryBy Gina Dostler

SKD Studios, a brainstorm of talent between Anissa Swanzie and Will Burkowske, expect to stir the design pot in Newport Beach with their design house’s award-winning work. Swanzie founded her studio on three basic principles: “a product you will love, on a price-point you can attain, in a time-frame you can expect.” Geared-up for projects of any size, they have mastered the art of attainable luxury, with a focus on kitchen fashion and function.

Q: How’s it going, being you’re the newbie in town and almost ready to open?

A: Gosh it’s been a whirlwind. We’ve been here for 10 weeks and super focused setting up our studio. But at the same time we’ve been having a total blast. It’s good to be back after 20 years. I grew up in Orange County, left here for a suburb of DC, a quaint coastal town similar to Balboa but on a smaller scale. Set up a

successful design studio there, but now back and revved to make the OC scene.

Q: What does SKD stand for?A: Swanzie Kitchen Design. The first and

foremost room I love to design is the kitchen, my specialty. But we are a full service interior design studio as well. Which is a great big plus in my industry.

Q: How so?A: I have the know-how to actually design

the kitchen space, to make it functional. Plus I have the talent to make it fashionable. It’s a winning combination that has served my clients very well.

Q: So is functionality the starting point for every kitchen?

A: Yes, yes, and yes. We want you to love Anissa Swanzie and Will Burkowske

By Sara Hall | NB Indy More than 500 people learned vital information about what to do in case of an emergency at a city-wide event last weekend.

The Newport Beach Fire Depart-ment hosted the Fifth Annual Disaster Preparedness Expo on Saturday at the Newport Beach Central Library.

Attendance was a little lower than usual, said NBFD life safety specialist Matt Brisbois, but he was still pleased

with the turnout.There were a lot of locals there with

specifi c questions and concerns, he added.

“It was nice to have all that informa-tion right there, ready to be provided to them,” he said.

Booths included: City of Newport Beach, SoCal Edison, Orange County RACES (Radio Amateur Civil Emergen-cy Service), Alert OC, Ready OC, NB

SEPTEMBER 21 & SEPTEMBER 22

The Newport Beach Police Depart-ment is nearing the conclusion of specialized Motorcycle Safety Enforce-ment Operations in an effort to lower deaths and injuries.

These operations began in August and continue through the end of September. Extra offi cers are on duty patrolling areas frequented by motor-cyclists and where motorcycle crashes occur. Offi cers are looking for viola-tions made by drivers and riders alike that can lead to motorcycle crashes, including being under the infl uence of drugs or alcohol, speeding, making illegal turns, or any other dangerous violation.

Motorcycle fatalities saw a drop of 37 percent from 2008 to 2010, but fatalities rose nearly 18 percent in 2011. Operations like this are aimed at curbing rises in motorcycle deaths and sending the numbers back down.

In 2012, Newport Beach saw 37 motorcycle-involved collisions, which resulted in 39 injuries and no fatali-ties. So far in 2013, Newport Beach has seen 31 such collisions, resulting in 30 injuries and one fatality.

California collision data reveals that primary causes of motorcycle-involved crashes include speeding, unsafe turn-ing and impairment due to alcohol and other drugs.

The NBPD is also reminding all motorists to always be alert and watch out for motorcycles, especially when turning and changing lanes.

According to the NBPD, as the economy continues to improve, more drivers are on the road, including novice motorcycle riders who are untrained and unable to handle the power of today’s motorcycles.

The NBPD message to all drivers and motorcyclists is to share the road. Riders can obtain training through the California Motorcyclist Safety Program. Information is available at CA-msp.org or (877) RIDE411.

Race for the Cure Takes to the Streets of Newport this Sunday

Thousands of runners will be taking to the streets of Newport Beach this Sunday, September 22, for the 22nd annual Susan G. Komen Orange County Race for the Cure.

The event connects breast cancer ad-vocates, survivors, families and friends, in support of Komen’s mission to serve people and save lives.

“Each year, the Race is the one inspi-

rational community event that honors those whose lives have been touched by breast cancer,” said Marie Cammack, 2013 Race for the Cure chair. “Every $125 raised above the registration fee can pay for a mammogram for a woman in need.”

The Race is a family-friendly public event fi lled with poignant memories,

Southern California Edison’s “routine” replacement of two utility poles in Bluebird Canyon was anything but routine for the residents of 50 nearby homes. They received mandatory evacuation orders prior to Wednesday’s extraction by helicopter of two utility poles located behind properties on Wykoff Way.

Despite the mandatory evacuation notice, Bluebird Canyon Drive resident Lori Solomon said she was caught off guard because she assumed that Wednesday morning’s intermittently gusty winds might keep the copter grounded. So when a

worker knocked on her door to give her a 15-minute warning at around 10:30 a.m., she had to scramble to get out the door in time.

Solomon received written notice a couple of weeks before and SCE representatives went door to door last week to make sure residents understood they would need to temporarily evacuate their homes between 9 and 11 a.m.

Laguna Beach Public Works Director Steve May said the evacuation protocol stemmed from Federal Aviation Administration guidelines. FAA rules prohibit aircraft

’ 93 Arsonist Never Caught By Loreen Berlin, Special to the Independent

Twenty years ago this month, a savage fi re devoured 14,000 acres of Laguna Canyon wilderness and

ravaged multiple neighborhoods.

The fi re that destroyed 391 homes and threatened more than 1,000 others at the time

was believed to be the work of an arsonist, but the perpetrator were never found. Investigators collected evidence statements, received 480 arson leads and ruled out non-human causes, but investigators were never able to determine who started the fi re.

“That’s the frustrating part of our business; often the fi re destroys evidence,” said Scott Brown, division chief of the Orange County Fire Authority, which investigated the blaze because it ignited fi rst in county territory.

On that fateful day, Brown was a fi re captain and one of the fi rst arriving engine companies, No. 222, on the scene in Laguna Canyon.

Investigative reports on the Laguna fi re of 20-years-ago were purged, according to Brown, as records are required to be kept for only seven years.

While the “cold case” arson may never be solved, the impact on human lives that dark day in Laguna history

Tennis Courts Set for RepairsBy Rita Robinson | LB Indy

Line-up Reshuffl ed on Two Stages

After years of tension between the school district and the city over responsibility for the deteriorating tennis courts at the high school, the courts are finally set to be competitive again.

With a joint-use agreement approved by the City Council last month, school board members voted this past Tuesday, Oct. 8, to spend $69,000 to hire Irvine’s LPA, Inc., architectural and engineering firm, to firm up a $620,000 repair plan expected to be completed by next August.

The cracked and weathered courts next to the swimming pool,

By Gina DostlerReal work takes place in the

kitchen. Kitchen designer Debbie Nassetta taps advances in appliances to make these spaces more efficient, less tiring and enjoyable for her clients. She and her husband Nick combine their expertise as owner of Newport Beach’s RoomScapes.

Q: What makes a successful kitchen?

A: The design is very important and getting a seasoned pro really helps to put experience and understanding into making a useful, functional kitchen in your home. For instance many times the main focus is on cabinetry and countertops. But what about spacing? Keeping proper clearances is important, such as distance from island to counter for ease of cooking. Or island to wall where seating might inhibit people from walking behind. The basic

kitchen triangle is always a good place to start.,

Q: Explain the kitchen triangle.A: It’s taking the kitchen workspace

and its three most important points: storage, prepping/cleaning and cooking. From here you want to make the kitchen flow. One leg of the triangle shouldn’t be too long where it takes many steps to go to another point. Then again, you don’t want it too short where it becomes too cramped to move. Moving efficiently and comfortably is the goal.

Q: Name a common challenge that comes up.

A: Everybody wants an island in the kitchen. Many times these wonderful work spaces can interfere with one leg of that work triangle and pose spacing problems. Placing an island can cut the refrigerator off where you’d have to walk around. These days these challenges are met

by the incredible appliances that are available. You can keep the big refrigerator on the other side, but have another smaller refrigerator below the island hidden behind a cabinet to keep the triangle in flow.

Q: How do appliances factor into a pretty design?

A: I love to cook. And because of that I know what every kitchen gadget, accessory and appliance needs to keep it functioning. So when a customer wants to improve their kitchen or make a new one, I always start with a list of appliances. Because if you are a home pro cook or prefer takeout, this all factors into designing the perfect kitchen for you. For someone who loves to cook and doesn’t mind all the cleanup, we’ll look into big gourmet gas burners. But for the non-cooks a glass induction stove probably would work best. CONTINUED ON PAGE 2

Q: Glass induction?A: It used to be glass electric

cooktops, the smooth stove without any burners that easily cleans up. The newest thing is induction. It’s been around for over 30 years but was too expensive for most consumers. It looks the same as the electric cooktops but it doesn’t heat the glass top. The heat transfers directly into
