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.

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,

ONe ON ONe with drew StivgalSAdding Water to Outdoor Spaces
Q: Sound?A: Absolutely. This is a big
issue to be aware of. Many people actually want a water feature solely for drowning out a noise, such as a busy street. A trickle from a fountain can provide enough white noise to eliminate unwanted background noise. Then again, when sound isn’t a consideration, it can have negative effects, such as installing a 12’ drop waterfall and not realizing the noise that is created by the falling water makes conversation in the backyard nearly impossible. The design might look spectacular but not practical due to the sound generated from the water.
Q: There basically are two types of water features, yes?
A: The general term is informal
By Gina Dostler [email protected]
Landscape designer Drew Sivgals creates beautiful living space out of doors, yet he knows the ins and outs of designing outdoor features that can save a homeowner headaches and money. He lets us in on some inside knowledge to those seeking a water element in their landscape.
Q: What is at the very base of landscape designing?
A: Understanding what is in the heart and mind of the client is really the key to any successful design. Most people have an idea of how they want to transform their backyard. Achieving it becomes another matter. A landscape designer can translate their idea into reality, a living dream that manifests just outside their doors.
Q: Water does wonder to a landscape. Are there any rules to putting in a water feature?
A: With any water feature, whether it is a koi pond, a water garden or waterfall, the location is the most important aspect to consider. You want to get the most out of your investment. If you want it to be a feature that many people can view such as in front of the home, you need to understand this will entail several considerations with the design and size of the water feature.
Q: Such as?A: When any body of water over
18 inches deep is accessible to the public it must be surrounded by a fence and a gate. This can increase the cost considerably and might not be what the homeowner envisioned. Then there is the sound factor.
