Council Policy H-1, Harbor Permit Policy, provides criteria for staff and the Harbor Commission when making decisions regarding piers and floats within Newport Beach Harbor.

By Lindsey Glasgow NEWPORT BEACH — In an effort to clarify Newport Beach’s policies for pier and float projects in Newport Beach Harbor, the City Council approved revisions to Council Policy H-1 at their Nov. 5 meeting.

Council Policy H-1 sets those guidelines, specifically how far floats and piers can extend bayward beyond the pierhead line. The policy states: “Consistent with Title 17’s purposes described in Newport Beach Municipal Code Section 17.05.020, the City Council’s general policy is not to approve piers and floats beyond the pierhead line.”

Back in June, the City Council directed the Harbor Commission to review Council Policy H-1 in order to assist staff and the Harbor Commission when considering future applications.

A subcommittee was appointed and came back to the Commission with recommended changes at the Oct. 9 Harbor Commission meeting.

According to a staff report, the proposed revisions do not alter the original intent of the policy, but provide clarity for both staff and the Commission as they consider future projects.

The proposed revisions were presented to the City Council on Nov. 5.

Those recommendations include: • Inserting the word “bayward” whenever referencing an extension “beyond the pierhead line” • Adding the phrase “all of the following conditions are met” before the specific conditions The City Council’s general policy is not to approve piers and floats beyond the pierhead line.

• Improving formatting and layout of the enumerated conditions • Adding the word “navigation” to condition 5(d), which the reconstruction is like-for-like their way,” Newport Beach Public now reads: the pier or float will including any upgrades required Works Manager Chris Miller explained not negatively impact adjacent to meet current code and building at the Nov. 5 meeting. property owners, navigation and standards, and if the existing pier The general policy of not approving future harbor dredging or float configuration was previpiers and floats beyond the pierhead • Adding the following paragraph ously permitted.” line remains.

Possibly still drinkable booze recovered from Russia-bound WWl shipwreck

BALTIC SEA—Hundreds of bottles of cognac and Benedictine liqueur that have been at the bottom of the Baltic Sea since 1917 have been brought to the surface- and might still be drinkable.

A group of underwater treasure hunters with Ocean X Team salvaged the booze from a ship sunk by a German submarine during World War I. “The last shipment of rare liquors for Tsar Nicholas II’s Russia is now recovered,” Ocean X Team said in a released statement. “A search and salvage project that started 20 years ago is now completed.

The wreck was discovered in 1999 but had been heavily damaged by fishing trawls and trawl boards.

This October, with the help of unmanned underwater vehicles, the group managed to bring up 50 cases of cognac and 15 cases of Benedictine – an herbal liqueur – from about 250 feet below the surface in international waters between Sweden and Finland. According to Ocean X Team, the bottles were on their way from France to St Petersburg, Russia, which at the time was ruled by Czar Nicholas ll. Peter Lindberg with the Ocean X Team told CNN

State Department of Land and Natural Resources researchers observed the activity in newly formed anchialine pools, which are land-locked and filled with brackish water. The pools that formed 14 months after Kilauea’s lava stopped flowing are connected to the ocean and the area’s groundwater and flow with the tide.

New coastlines such as the one formed by the eruption can be difficult to observe, state biologist Troy Sakihara said.

“The coastline is still very unstable and, even if new habitats form, sometimes the new coastline breaks off,” Sakihara said.

News Briefs From page 4

That reality became more stark mid November when Venice was hit with its worst flood in over 50 years, caused by a nearly 1.9 meter (6-foot) tide that sent waist-high water flowing through St. Mark’s Square, cast the city’s world-famous gondolas onto walkways, and threatened its medieval, Baroque and Renaissance art and architecture.

Damage to the City of Canals from the second-worst flood ever recorded was put at hundreds of millions of euros (dollars).

Against the backdrop of the disaster, a corruption-riddled underwater barrier system that was supposed to protect the city still is not operational after more than 16 years of construction and at least 5 billion euros of public funds. It was supposed to be working by 2011.

“It has been a generation of panels and engineers that have been working on it.

No one can actually tell if it will actually be operational,’’ said Mechtild Rossler, director of the UNESCO World Heritage Center in Paris, which lists Venice as one of its legally protected World Heritage sites because of its cultural and historical significance.

Called Moses - from the Italian acronym for experimental electromechanical modules, but also a nod to the biblical figure who parted the Red Sea - the system of 78 underwater barriers is designed to be raised as needed to block openings to the lagoon and hold back tides of 1.1 to 3 meters.

That would still leave exposed the lowest areas of the city, or about 12% of its area, including St. Mark’s Square.

Though nearly completed, the project still has not been even partially tested, and some parts have already started to corrode.

It has also been marked by bribery scandals and overruns. Its initial costs were projected at 1.6 billion euros.

Even with the emergency, Moses won’t be operational before the end of next year.

At the same time, the threats to the city of a quarter-million people are growing.

While the latest round of flooding has been attributed mostly to a combination of high tides from a full moon and high winds pushing water from the shallow Adriatic Sea into Venice, climate scientists note that exceptional tides - those over 1.4 meters have become much more frequent in the past two decades.

Climate scientist Stefan Rahmstorf of the University of Potsdam estimates that one-third of Venice’s increasing vulnerability is due to global warming, which has raised the sea level.

“The rest is mostly man-made,’’ he said.

The 1,600-year-old city is built on uncompacted sediment, which is settling.

Venice’s Tide Office said that because of the combined effect of the city’s settling and the rising of the sea, the water is now 30 centimeters (12 inches) higher against the buildings than it was when record-keeping began in 1873.

About 10 to 11 centimeters of that took place since the last big flood, in 1966.

Venice is being monitored for inclusion on a list of World Heritage sites in danger, which serves as a call to action to the international community.

Other problems threatening the city include large numbers of tourists, which put stress on a city where even something as simple of trash collection must be done

LOCAL To fight extinction, white abalone released into Southern California waters SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA— A career dedicated to mollusks isn’t always easy.

Sometimes progress can occur at a snail’s pace.

But a team of scientists are close to reaching a significant milestone in their efforts to bring white abalone — a species of sea snail — back from the brink of extinction.

During the week of Nov. 18, thousands of white abalone hatched in a marine lab were planted in the ocean near Los Angeles and San Diego. It was the first time that scientists attempt to introduce captive-bred white abalone into the wild.

“It’s thrilling to think that our hard work is going to pay off as far as putting juvenile white abalone in the wild and setting them free,” said California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) co-lead researcher Dr. Laura Rogers-Bennett in a release statement.

CDFW said California’s abalone population has been decimated by a combination of commercial overfishing, ocean warming and poor kelp growth. White abalone, sought by divers because of its tender meat, was hit especially hard. The declines resulted in a 1997 ban on all recreational and commercial abalone fishing south of San Francisco, and in 2001 white abalone became the first marine invertebrate to be listed as an endangered species.

It’s been almost two decades since Dr. Rogers-Bennett and her team have found a live juvenile white abalone in the wild.

“Captive breeding might be the only way this population can recover,” she said.

From 1999 to 2004, a team of divers including Dr. Rogers-Bennett and co-lead researcher Ian Taniguchi collected 21 white abalone from the deep reefs in the Channel Islands. Those 21 abalone ultimately led to the production of thousands of offspring at the Bodega Marine Laboratory at University of California, Davis (UC Davis).

CDFW estimates there are only 2,400 wild white abalone living in the ocean off California’s coast. They planned to plant more than 3,000 during the week of Nov. 18.

CG helps Trans-Pacific sailor reach CA LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Coast Guard has brought a 78-year-old sailor to a California port after he repeatedly ran low on provisions during a five-month trip across the Pacific in a sailboat and requested help.

The Coast Guard says a cutter took the sailboat Mayfly under tow on Nov. 13 southwest of Los Angeles and transferred the tow early on Nov. 14 to a vessel that brought it into Oxnard’s Channel Islands Harbor.

A statement says the Coast Guard first helped the unidentified sailor when his brother reported on Oct. 29 that the mariner left Japan at the end of May and expected to arrive in San Francisco in late August, but lack of wind was lengthening the trip.

A vessel was diverted to provide supplies.

Similar help was provided on Nov. 4 when supplies ran low in heavy weather west of Los Angeles.

Catalina Island Co. plans to shut down Casino theater Avalon’s residents and visitors won’t be able to watch movies at the historic building anymore, with the building citing poor attendance.

By Parimal M. Rohit

AVALON—Build it and they will come. And then one day, they’ll stop coming. One of the most iconic destinations on Catalina Island could soon be fading into the realm of nostalgia, as the Catalina Island Co. recently announced Avalon’s sole movie theater would soon be showing its last film.

The theater, which is located inside the Catalina Casino building and holds about 1,100 people, has been entertaining Avalon’s guests and residents for about 90 years. It is one of the oldest continuously-running theaters in the country. A Catalina Island Co. announcement

about the theater’s closing stated it was no longer viable to keep it open. An article about the theater’s closure in Variety, one of the entertainment industry’s trade magazines, stated an average of 42 people filled Avalon Theatre each night for 85 percent of the films screened there less than five percent of capacity.

Company leadership blamed lackluster leadership on the onslaught of streaming services now available - Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu, HBO Now, YouTube Premium and Disney+, to name a few. The city’s small permanent population doesn’t help, either. The theater would consistently be near capacity if one in four residents watched most or all of the films coming in and out of Avalon Theatre - an impossible goal or expectation.

Those who visit the island, just the same, have plenty of activities to choose from - watching a film at Avalon Theatre, as cool as it might be, probably isn’t high priority for tourists or See STANDING WATCH page 10

FAST FACTS

Elwood Mead: Father of Lake Mead

By Parimal M. Rohit BOULDER CITY—A vast majority of Southern California’s boating and yacht club activities takes place along the Pacific coast. Sure, you could hop on a boat at a freshwater waterway, such as Big Bear Lake or Lake Elsinore … or a stretch of the Colorado River near the California-NevadaArizona border.

The southern tip of Nevada is home to Lake Mead and the Hoover Dam. You’ll certainly find boating activities on Lake Mead - with some of those activities connected to Nevada Yacht Club.

Hoover Dam, which was named after Pres.

Herbert Hoover, came online in the 1930s. Behind the dam was Lake Mead - which was named after Elwood Mead, an engineer who specialized in irrigation.

Southern Nevada’s boaters today take to a lake whose namesake opposed the very law creating the waterway.

A 1902 law - the Federal Reclamation Act paved the way for Hoover Dam to be built (and help create what would eventually be named Lake Mead).

“The Federal Reclamation Act came about in

1902 to fund irrigation projects in the West, but Mead opposed the law,” an article about Mead on the Indiana Public Media website stated.

Mead followed his opposition of the federal law with a move to Australia, where he worked on water issues Down Under. The engineer and irrigation expert would return to the United States several years later as a professor at the University of California and chair of the California Land Settlement Board. But Mead would eventually play a pivotal role in directing and developing new reclamation projects, such as Hoover Dam. Construction of the dam began in 1931; it was commissioned in 1935. Mead would pass away in 1936 - and the lake was named after him later that same year.

Mead, who was born in Indiana before being hailed as the “Engineer Who Made the Desert Bloom,” was also responsible for establishing water policy in Wyoming and the constructions of Owyhee Dam in Oregon and Grand Coulee Dam in Washington. He was appointed as the Commissioner of Reclamation in 1924.

MINNEY’S YACHT SURPLUS 1500 Newport Blvd., Costa Mesa CA (949) 548-4192 www.minneysyachtsurplus.com/blog minneys@aol.com • www.minneysyachtsurplus.com

SAN DIEGO—The Port of San Diego’s Board of Port Commissioners have awarded Bellingham Marine Industries a contract for $1,882,623, to repair and replace docks at Tuna Harbor.

Commissioners awarded the contract to Bellingham Marine on Nov. 5.

One floating dock is severely damaged while a second one just needs to be repaired, according to port district staff.

“The plans and specifications defining the contract work includes replacement of the existing severely damaged floating Dock 2 and repair of existing deteriorated or damaged floating dock elements of Dock 3,” port district staff stated in a report to commissioners.

“After work completion, Dock 2 will be a new dock with improved materials and utilities and Dock 3 will be restored and maintained to its original condition. Both docks will provide sound and functional berths for commercial fishing vessels.”

Tuna Harbor’s Dock 2 was built in 1983; Dock 3 was built in 1978. Both docks provide berthing for commercial

fishing vessels near G Street Mole. Both docks were repaired in 2014, but a structural inspect in June 2018 showed Dock 2 was suffering from severe deterioration. Six finger docks were condemned as a result of the deteriorating condition, according to port district staff. “[Dock 2] requires complete replacement to restore it back into service,” port district staff stated in its report to commissioners. “Dock 3 has loose connections at the junctions of the finger docks and main walkway which require replacement to prevent future failure of the finger docks. It also has damaged guide pile brackets and edge fendering, loose deck planks, and requires repairs to keep the dock in service.

“The electrical service also needs to be upgraded to meet marine operations’ requirements,” port district staff continued.

Three companies submitted a bid for the Tuna Harbor dock contract: Bellingham Marine, Harbour Constructors Co. of Huntington Beach and Reyes Construction Inc of Pomona.

Bellingham’s bid of $1,882,623 was the lowest; Harbour Constructors’ bid was for $2,073,700. Reyes Construction offered to repair and replace the Tuna Harbor docks for $2,395,694.

Port district staff said construction would start in December and continue through June 2020.

Long-time San Diego broker had owned Ocean Air Yachts and worked with Crow’s Nest, Sterling Yachts.

SAN DIEGO—Reese Williams, who once owned Ocean Air Yachts at Sunroad Marina before moving on to Crow’s Nest and Sterling Yachts, has died. He was 74.

Williams and his wife, Carol, moved to the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico after retiring from the yacht business in 2008. While there he joined his wife’s real estate business, White City Properties, and helped sell high end parcels of land.

WIlliams was born in Wilmington, Delaware, in 1944. He group up boating on the Chesapeake Bay and along the East Coast.

An obituary shared with The Log by the California Reese Williams Yacht Brokers Association stated Williams’ love for the ocean was partially responsible for him enlisting in the U.S. Navy.

After the Navy, Williams would join General Motors, where he worked as a customer representative. He later moved

to Colorado and Wyoming to pursue a career in sporting goods.

Williams would eventually find his way to San Diego, where he pursued a career in yacht sales.

“A born salesman, Reese’s quick smile and easy going manner, coupled with an ability to converse with anyone from boatyard workers to large yacht owners, made him a liked and recognized figure along the SoCal waterfront,” an obituary

of Williams stated.

Williams lost his battle with prostate cancer. He was living in Merida, Yucatan when he died. He is survived by Carol, his wife of 34 years.

Blips on the Radar Latest News Updates

By Parimal M. Rohit

Lease rates for Marina del Rey’s Fisherman’s Village have been adjusted

Point Development will replace a 644-square-foot floating dock with a slightly smaller floating dock.

Newport Beach to replace floating dock What Happened: The California Coastal Commission approved a request to remove a 644-square-foot floating dock and replace it with a smaller structure, Nov. 13. The floating dock is located near 1903 East Bay Avenue in Newport Beach. Point Development was the project applicant.

“The existing and proposed dock systems are constructed both on and over private property and State Tidelands administered by the city,” Coastal Commission staff said in a report to commissioners. “Single-family residences and associated private dock systems characterize the subject site and surrounding area.

There is no direct public pedestrian access to public tidelands through the private residential lot at the subject site.”

What’s On Tap: Point Development will remove the 644-square-foot floating dock and replace it with a 584-square-foot floating dock.

Also to be replaced is the existing 3-foot-by-20-foot gangway, 10-foot-by-14foot pier platform and a 64-square-foot pier approach; all will be replaced like for like, and the existing three 14-inch concrete T-Piles and three 14-inch concrete marina guide piles will be re-used in place, according to Coastal Commission staff.

“The new dock system will be comprised of wood and composite material, foam and concrete,” Coastal Commission staff stated in a report to commissioners.

“The existing and proposed dock systems extend bayward past the U.S. Pierhead line by 16-feet as allowed by the city of Newport Beach Harbor Permit Policy. This situation is similar to the docks in the adjacent area and is consistent with past commission actions in the area.”

Commissioners also approved a Newport Beach Harbor Resources Department application to remove a 160-square-foot public floating swim dock with two 12-inch square marina guide piles, offshore of the 10th Street Beach.

The floating dock and guide piles will be replaced like for like.

What Happened: The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors approved a lease amendment for Marina del Rey’s Fisherman’s Village; the amendment calls for the readjustment of rates for minimum annual rent and certain categories of percentage rentals. Insurance requirements have also been updated with the lease amendment approval.

The county has a lease with Parcel 56S, which is known as Fisherman’s Village. The parcel has five buildings with 49 commercial/retail units, two restaurants and 35 boat slips.

What’s On Tap: The new terms were retroactively applied to be in full effect as of Sept. 1, 2017. Minimum annual rates from Fisherman’s Village will be increased from $336,342 to $510,814.92, payable in monthly installments of $42,567.81. A new rental category was added: bicycle

rentals (10 percent). Rent collected from commercial boating activities will increase from 4.5 percent to 6 percent. The dry storage income category is now at 20 percent, up from 10 percent. Changes were also made for occupancies of structures for uses other than apartments or offices, and gross retail for retail (stores, shops and boutique).

L.A. County will receive a retroactive payment of $133,000 as a result of the lease amendment approval.

visitors.

Now there is at least one online petition, challenging Catalina Island Co.’s decision to cease the theater’s operations. The petition was started by one Melinda Benson and posted on the website, change.org. Catalina Island Co. and the city of Avalon were the two entities petitioned.

“On November 7, 2019, the Santa Catalina Island Company abruptly announced its plan to close Avalon’s beloved theatre because the operating costs are too expensive and hinder their ‘good business strategy,’” Benson wrote in her petition. “The Island Company blames online streaming services and royalty payments for a decline in profits, but they did not seriously explore any of the many viable alternative options available, nor did they seek any input or assistance from the community they serve.

“They simply sent a letter of termination to theatre employees and summarily issued their edict to Avalon,” Benson continued.

She added the theater is actually a major draw for visitors and residents alike, and discontinuing the exhibition of film at the Casino would be detrimental to Avalon’s economy.

“This will … be a devastating loss for visitors, upon whom the economy of the island and the Santa Catalina Island Company, itself, depend,” Benson wrote. “Many of these visitors return year after year and seeing movie at our beautiful theatre is an experience they look forward to as a highlight of their trip.”

Benson urged people to sign the petition - there were about 10,000 signatories gathered as of Nov. 19 - to send a message to the Catalina Island Co. “The Island Company has made many controversial changes to the island and to Avalon in recent years

VENTURA—The dry boat storage venue at Ventura Port District has been resurfaced and reopened, according to a Ventura Harbor announcement on Nov. 6. The resurfaced and reopened dry boat storage will accommodate up to 88 boats, ranging in size from 14 to 43 feet, year-round.

Port district staff also announced the dry boat storage’s fee schedule, which will range from $68 to $215 per month. The dry boat storage is a fenced venue surrounded by a fence with key-card entry.

“A bonus for boat storage tenants includes a 50 percent off discount of the annual Ventura Harbor Public Launch Ramp Permit. Future plans for the dry boat storage area will feature a kayak rack for personal watercraft,” Ventura Harbor staff said in a released statement.

Brian Pendleton, the port district’s general manager, added the resurfaced dry boat storage is yet another perk for local boaters.

“The newly re-opened storage facility provides boaters with the year-round option of keeping their boats in dry storage for added convenience and more regular

use consistent with the Ventura Port District’s mission to provide exceptional boating facilities and services,” Pendleton said in a released statement.

Ventura Harbor’s dry boat storage is located at 1540 Anchors Way Drive, across from Dave’s Fuel Dock and the port district’s public launch ramp. The port district boasts the dry boat storage venue as being accessible to the water and to local attractions, dining and shopping.

Visit VenturaHarbor.com or send an email to rdunham@venturaharbor. com to check for space availability and to apply for a permit or application. Boaters can also call 805-6428538. The new dry boat storage venue is near the about-to-be constructed

Portside Ventura Harbor development.

The development will include residential units and the “Ventura Marina Community,” which, according to port district staff, offers “easy access to those residents who wish to house their boat on dry land.”

“Ventura Port District has invested $61,000 towards the dry boat storage lot refurbishment, with additional costs covered by the Anchors Way street modifications inclusive in the Portside Ventura Harbor residential development plans,” Ventura Harbor staff said in a released statement.

The dry boat storage lacks a kayak rack; the port district stated an installation date for a kayak rack is still pending.

Lane Field Park: Port of San Diego’s 22nd Public Park SAN DIEGO—This Oct. 27, 1931 photo shows what is now Lane Field Park on the San Diego Bay waterfront. According to the Port of San Diego, Lane Field seen on the right of the photo, began as a U.S. Navy Athletic field in 1925. Two years later, football bleachers were added. The field also had a track used for motorcycle and auto races. From 1936 through 1957, the ballpark was home to the San Diego Padres of the Pacific Coast League. In 2015, it was dedicated as the city’s 22nd public park.

and most have suffered them in silence,” Benson said. “It’s time to raise our voices. Your signature here will … show the Island Company how vital and important this landmark theatre is to so many different people for so many different reasons.”

The island’s newspaper of record, Catalina Islander, published a few letters to the editor in response to the theater’s closing.

Gary Preeo of Lodi, California said he has visited Catalina annually for the past 43 years; he asked the Catalina Island Co. to reconsider its decision.

“Instead of ‘upgrading’ food/etc., how about lowering prices so everyone can afford to enjoy the experience? It is just sad that yet another Catalina Island icon is disappearing because of ‘lack of profit,’” Preeo wrote in his letter.

Another reader and Avalon resident suggested a nonprofit take over the movie theater and start showing classic films.

“I am hoping that the Catalina Island Co. will work with a private, islander based, non-profit organization, that wants to keep the theatre going,” Chuck Liddell of Avalon wrote in his letter. “It would seem to me that showing more classic films, and older popular films, possibly changing every night or two, would make more sense than working through a distributor who will force the film to stay around for one to two weeks!”

Someone on a Facebook page dedicated to Avalon issues suggested anyone seeking to save the theater should apply for the Casino to be designated as a historic landmark.

A letter from the Griffin family in Santa Monica demanded an explanation for the closure, stating the community did not have a say or voice in the decision to shut down Avalon Theatre.

“Taking away the movie theater is the last straw for our family - this is just too sad to bear. Going to the movies at the Casino was a great joy for us - hearing the organ player and feeling like we were back in the time in the 1950s - all so special,” the letter collectively signed by the Griffins stated. The Catalina Island Co., through its Facebook account, posted an official statement

on the “Catalina Discussion” page (also on Facebook).

“We would like to inform you that as of January 1, 2020, we will discontinue showing movies at Avalon Theatre.

Over the past several years, with more people turning to digital on-demand services such as Netflix, Hulu, Sling and others, theatre attendance has decreased and operating losses have increased,” the official Catalina Island Co. statement read. “Our efforts to attract more customers by offering expanded concessions have not been enough to reverse these trends.”

The official statement added tours and special events - Catalina Film Festival and Silent Film Benefit - would continue to be offered. Catalina Island Co. would also assist theater employees in finding alternate employment, the official statement continued.

Catalina Island Co. staff added a second, more elaborate statement on its Facebook page, in response to concerns raised about the theater’s closing.

“We are keenly aware of the tremendous history behind everything we do and the legacy and responsibility that goes with it,” the Catalina Island Co. statement on Facebook read. “While we have subsidized the theatre for decades, the expenses of something as seemingly simple as showing movies never cease to amaze us. For example, movie studios who produced the films we’ve shown this year took 35 to 65 percent of our ticket sales, while imposing restrictions, such as requiring that films run for a minimum of two weeks (or more, in some cases), despite our limited audience size.”

One two-week stretch of film exhibition at Avalon Theatre yielded a total of 181 guests - or 13 people per day.

Company leaders hoped the offering of “premium” concessions would help offset costs - but the plan didn’t work.

“We joined the new trend of offering more complex food, as well as beer and wine, in addition to the usual candy, popcorn and sodas, but soon found that the regulations pertaining to those not only led to huge increases in expenses, but also logistical nightmares,” Catalina Island Co.’s second statement, which was released on Nov. 9, stated.

In Memoriam: Ronald Whitelaw

Former CYBA president won Merle Parke Award and established Bayside Yacht Sales.

LONG BEACH — Ronald Whitlelaw, who established Bayside Yacht Sales and once served as president of the California Yacht Brokers Association (CYBA), has died. He was 74. He passed away on Nov. 16.

Whitelaw joined the CYBA in the 1980s and became its president in 1989. Three years later he was awarded the Merle Parke Award, an annual honor bestowed on someone who, according to a CYBA statement, “made a lasting contribution to the association and industry.” The Merle Parke Award is specifically granted to CYBA members.

CYBA’s statement on Whitelaw’s passing added he regularly piloted his Grand Banks trawler to Two Harbors.

“In the early [1990s], Ron worked with long-time CYBA Senior Advisor Tom Russell to create the industry’s frusta association arbitration service for dispute resolution,” the CYBA statement said. “Ron served as the CYBA arbitration administrator for many years, assisting our members by mediating disputes whenever possible and overseeing formal arbitration hearings when necessary.

Whitelaw is survived by his wife, Susan, daughter, Robin, son-in-law, Doug, and two grandsons, Zachary and Joshua.

Long Beach Yacht Club, where Whitelaw was a member, held a memorial service on Nov. 23.

Future of Channel Islands Harbor revitalization remains unclear

By Parimal M. Rohit OXNARD—The infrastructure surrounding a significant portion of Channel Islands Harbor is aging and visibly dilapidated. City and county officials both agree changes to Fisherman’s Wharf (and the surrounding area) need to be made as soon as possible. Those changes won’t be coming anytime in the near future, as the city of Oxnard and Ventura County can’t seem to find common ground on anything else, beyond a desire to revitalize a run-down stretch of Channel Islands Harbor.

Oxnard’s City Council, in a 6-1 vote on Nov. 7, rejected the most recent development plans for Fisherman’s Wharf. The Local Coastal Program (LCP) amendment, if it was approved, would have allowed residential uses on Fisherman’s Wharf. The waterfront, at this time, is not zoned for residential use, according to Oxnard city staff.

Building heights could have been increased under the proposed LCP amendment, as well. As many as 400 market rate residential units could have been built had the LCP amendment been approved.

Other amenities, such

as36,000 square feet of retail development, 1,110 linear feet of waterfront walkways and improvements to an existing park at the corner of Channel Islands Boulevard and Victoria Avenue, were also proposed under the Fisherman’s Wharf LCP amendment.

Harbor Director Mark Sandoval urged the City Council to approve the LCP amendment. Sandoval, for the record, is a county employee.

“I think we all agree Fisherman’s Wharf … must be redeveloped,” Sandoval told Oxnard City Council members during a presentation. “It’s falling apart, we can’t hold it together, and I think that’s a common, shared objective.”

Sandoval added an updated Fisherman’s Wharf should also increase public access and the desire to visit the Channel Islands Harbor waterfront.

Fisherman’s Wharf, Sandoval said, should be “a destination for all income levels” and provide enhanced amenities for recreational boaters.

Allowing the Fisherman’s Wharf project to move forward, according to Sandoval, would bring in “muchneeded revenue” for the city of Oxnard and address the region’s housing shortage.

Updating Fisherman’s Wharf as proposed would, specifically, bring in about $500,000 in annual revenue, Sandoval said. Oxnard city staff refuted Sandoval’s forecast, saying an economic analysis has not yet been conducted and there is no basis for the projection.

“Now the opponents don’t want apartments, I get it,” Sandoval told council members. “But, in my perspective, a lot of your constituents already live around apartments, they already deal with density, so why not put apartments by the harbor?”

Max Ghenis spoke to the council on behalf of Ventura County YIMBY (Yes In My Back Yard) and advocated for the Fisherman’s Wharf project.

“The common thread here, experts agree, is we don’t have enough housing. California is short [more than] three million homes,” Ghenis told council members.

Ghenis, who is an Oxnard resident, added the housing shortage creates homelessness and poverty, but adding a project like the Fisherman’s Wharf development would actually help in minimizing the negative effects of high housing costs.

Rene Aiu of the Harbor and Beach Community Alliance expressed her organization’s opposition to the Fisherman’s Wharf project, stating the city of Oxnard would lose jurisdiction over the waterfront if it goes through with the housing proposal and LCP amendment.

“Oxnard’s approval of the amendment removes Oxnard from any say in the project,” Aiu said. “The only way Oxnard can keep its jurisdiction

Channel Islands Harbor photo

City of Oxnard is at odds with Ventura County over Fisherman’s Wharf project; community members are also split.

A plan to bring hundreds of new residences to Fisherman’s Wharf, as part of a massive revitalization project, was rejected by Oxnard’s City Council. It’s not clear what will happen next, even though Oxnard and Ventura County officials share a common goal of redeveloping the dilapidated waterfront at Channel Islands Harbor.

and have a say in the development at Fisherman’s Wharf - and in fact within the entire harbor - is through one of Oxnard’s established practices.”

Aiu added those “established practics” include amending the Oxnard Specific Plan or updating the Harbor Channel Islands Sub-Zone, which regulates land uses at the waterfront.

The Harbor and Beach Community Alliance also expressed concerns about parking, public access, coastal resources and whether the LCP amendment violates portions of the Coastal Act. Mike Deckard, a Port Hueneme resident, wrote a letter to Ventura County Star after the Nov. 7 meeting and said he visits the harbor far less than he used to - Spudnuts is the only storefront he patronizes nowadays. He blamed the waterfront’s “run-down” and “dilapidated” conditions on mismanagement by county and harbor officials.

Approving the LCP amendment would bring in new revenue, benefit boaters and positively enhance public access to the harbor and waterfront, Sandoval told City Council members toward the end of the Nov. 7 meeting.

“We need for Fisherman’s Wharf retail center to be redeveloped. We cannot fix it,” Sandoval said during his rebuttal comments, which were made after nearly two-and-a-half hours of public testimony. “Who’s to blame? I’m not going to argue that. We cannot fix it. We have to get it redeveloped.”

The Channel Islands Harbor Director added any iteration of a redeveloped Fisherman’s Wharf must include housing.

“I know people … think there’s some magic developer out there that’ll come and put money in just retail. Nobody invests in just retail,” Sandoval told the City Council. “It’s all mixed-use now.

You need a residential component or another anchor or it won’t work.”

Council members, however, focused less on the need for housing or revenue and instead made the Fisherman’s Wharf redevelopment decision about a battle between the city of Oxnard and Ventura County.

The property where Fisherman’s

Wharf is located is owned by Ventura County.

“We’re on opposite ends,” Council member Oscar Madrigal said about the respective positions of Oxnard and Ventura County about what to do with the Fisherman’s Wharf parcel. “Even if we deny this project, nothing is going to be there because we are not getting along with the county. We can’t even sit at the table and agree on a single thing.”

Madrigal was the only council member who voted to go forward with the LCP amendment.

The LCP amendment in front of council members on Nov. 7 placed the city at a crossroads, according to Council member Gabriela Basua: address the need for housing or maintain jurisdictional power of local development at Channel Islands Harbor.

“I think we need to keep some control of this project,” Basua said. “As much as I am an advocate for bringing housing into this area, I would like to have a say … and to keep some kind of control [of the project].”

Other council members agreed: they wanted the project but weren’t willing to cede power to the county with respect to the Fisherman’s Wharf project.

Mayor Tim Flynn challenged his colleagues, the developer and Ventura County officials come together to work on a compromise and bring the Fisherman’s Wharf project to life.

“I would like to propose right now that the county and city end this, that we come together, we come together with that developer, we work with the community, and we get this project done,” Flynn said.

The city of Oxnard and Ventura County began holding joint meetings since May 2014, according to Sandoval.

Oxnard has been opposed to the most recent iteration of the Fisherman’s Wharf revitalization plan since September 2016, Sandoval added.

Ventura County could possibly challenge Oxnard’s rejection and file an appeal with the California Coastal Commission.

Division of Boating and Waterways Commission receives regulations and grant updates

in Newport Harbor

The DBW Commission met on Oct. 23 and 24 in San Diego, where commissioners toured the Shelter Island Boat Launch Ramp facility.

File photo

By Lindsey Glasgow SAN DIEGO—Loan and grant programs and regulations were the focus of the California State Parks Division of Boating and Waterways Commission meeting on Oct. 24 in San Diego.

Ramona Fernandez, acting deputy director of the Division of Boating and Waterways (DBW), delivered an DBW offers grant funding and loans for projects update on some regulations the divithat help fund boat launching facility improvements, sion is working on. She said DBW is such as a project at the Shelter Island Boat Launch drafting regulations to establish a fee Ramp facility in San Diego. structure for their for-hire licensing program, which has historically been free. For-hire licensing is required for power vessel operators carrying four or more passengers for any type of compensation. DBW is also looking at drafting a fee structure for yacht brokers and salespersons licenses. That license is required for those selling used vessels for others that are 16 feet or longer and less than 300 gross tons.

Much of the rest of the meeting revolved around public comment and reports on the grant and loan programs DBW offers. DBW offers grant funding and loans through about half a dozen programs for boater-serving projects. Report highlights included recently completed projects, how much funding is being dedicated to each program and applicant interest.

Prior to the meeting, on Oct. 23, the commissioners took a field tour of the Shelter Island Boat Launch Ramp facility in San Diego. The renovated boat ramp reopened at the beginning of this year and was partly funded by one of those DBW grants.

DBW provided the Port of San Diego with $6.5 million in funding for the project though its Boat Launching Facility Grants program to enlarge the maneuvering area, build longer boarding floats, add new signage and lighting, and a create a public walking platform.

DBW is accepting applications for similar projects through the Boat Launching Facility Grants program. Applications are being accepted through Feb. 1, 2020 from qualifying public agencies.

According to the reports delivered on Oct. 24, the Boat Launching Facility Grants program and the Private Small Craft Harbor Loan Program had low turnout on the number of applications received this past year. While others, such as the Shoreline Erosion and Restoration Programs, have seen increasing applications every year. The Shoreline Erosion and Restoration Programs local assistance grants are available to government agencies and can be used to assist in the planning and construction of all types of beach erosion control and shoreline stabilization measures, as well as the planning and construction of engineered placement of sand on the beach or in the near shore environment.

The information provided during the Oct. 24 meeting will be used as DBW continues to address the revolving fund and the future needs of each of those programs. Several representatives from Recreational Boaters of California (RBOC), a non-profit government advocacy organization led by volunteer boating officers and directors, spoke during the public comment period about the allocation of funding and the desire for more discussion on revolving fund planning, the funding shortfall and plans going forward.

“There are programs that need to be funded and other programs that perhaps can be defunded,” RBOC President Ray Durazo said.

Commission Chair Virginia Madueño asked DBW to set a date for a public workshop in December to further discuss revolving fund planning and the funding shortfall.

The Oct. 24 commission meeting was the first for Kenneth Ehrman, who was appointed to the commission on Sept. 20 by Gov. Gavin Newsom.

“It’s my hope to collaboratively work with the stakeholders and the citizens and the commission to get some things done, some positive things done for this board,” Ehrman said during his opening remarks at the start of the meeting.

Oceanside Yacht Club swap meet to feature nautical gear sales to benefit juniors program

OYC photo

By Lindsey Glasgow

OCEANSIDE—Boaters looking to sell gear or looking to purchase gear, will find all kinds of nautical items at the Oceanside Yacht Club swap meet on Dec. 7. Joe Yag, chairman of the Oceanside YC swap meet, said there will be dinghies, motors, parts, lines, sailing gear, electronics and possibly some kayaks and paddles.

“The items are always interesting,” Yag said.

The event will be held at the Oceanside Yacht Club, 1950 Harbor Drive North, on Dec. 7 from 7 a.m. to noon. Coffee and breakfast burritos will also be available for sale and the city will be offering a propane tank exchange.

The OYC juniors program offers a Learn-to-Sail program, summer camps, sailing races and more.

The cost to reserve a booth is $20 per space or two spaces for the same price. Oceanside YC juniors are also looking for donated items to sell at their booth. All the proceeds from the space fees and sales at the Oceanside YC juniors booth will benefit the club’s juniors program.

The juniors program includes the Learn-to-Sail program, which is open to the public and offers beginner, intermediate and advanced sailing instruction to kids ages eight through 18. The juniors program also offers summer camps, sailing races throughout the year, and a monthly junior night where the young members learn about various boating related topics such as how to talk on the radio, tie knots and read a map.

Yag said there are typically 30 to 40 booths. He said the club raised a couple thousand dollars last year, which helped pay for the purchase of some new boats.

Ron Dreyer, the junior sailing director, said the funds raised will go towards ongoing operation costs and purchasing new beginner-level sailboats.

Contact the yacht club at 760-722-5751 or Yag at harborjoeyag@gmail.com to reserve a booth or for more information.

Catalina Connection Historic Zane Grey Pueblo Hotel reopens after renovations

By Lindsey Glasgow AVALON A historic Indian adobe-style hilltop estate overlooking Avalon Bay has reopened after about eight years.

An open house and ribbon cutting event was held at Zane Grey Pueblo Hotel on Nov. 7. The hotel closed in 2011 for renovations and with sensitivity to the history of the property, the hotel was upgraded to 21st century standards.

The hotel now includes 17 guest rooms with windows offering scenic valley and ocean views, a swimming pool, restaurant and rooftop deck.

Each room, suite, or penthouse is named for a book written by best-selling American novelist Zane Grey book.

The hillside property was once the home of Grey.

He built the home in 1926 and spent most of his later life in Avalon

writing and fishing. According to the Catalina Island Chamber of Commerce and Visitors Bureau, Grey was fond of saying “In order to fish, I write.” Some of the titles he authored include Call of the Canyon, Riders of the Purple Sage, The Thundering Herd, Under the Tonto Rim, and The Vanishing American.

More than 100 of his novels made it to the big screen, including The Vanishing American, which was partly filmed on Catalina Island; the movie is thought to be the reason 14 bison ended up on the island in the 1920s.

The hotel is offering a soft opening with discounts until mid-January. For more information or to book a room at the Zane Grey Pueblo Hotel visit zanegreyhotel.com/ or call 310-510-0966.

Catalina Island is home to several other historic hotels, including the Glenmore Plaza Hotel, which was built in 1891, and Mt. Ada Inn, the former home of William Wrigley Jr. and his wife Ada, and Hermosa Hotel, which has been around since 1896, to name a few.

The Zane Grey Pueblo Hotel is inspired by American author Zane Grey, who once lived at the site.

The Pacifica Sportfishing Facebook page posted this picture of three men trying to wrangle a large tuna catch.

The post, which was made on Nov. 11, does not give much information. We don’t know the weight, for example.

We also don’t know if any of the three men caught the fish, whether any of them serve as a gaffer or deckhand, etc. But it’s a great picture, nonetheless, with a solid caption to match: “Go ahead and set er’ down….”

The angler credited for catching the swordfishes are Bill DePriest, Sr. - with Bill DePriest II serving as skipper. One swordfish was reeled aboard within 15 minutes, using an 80-pound test. It weighed in at 129.2 pounds. The second swordfish fought for 30 minutes before being reeled in and weighed more than 131 pounds. A 100-pound test was used for the second swordfish. Live bait was used for both catches, and both swordfishes were caught aboard Pacific Bills.

CDFW’s website states the program aims “to improve angling opportunities to California’s growing urban population.”

“Consistent with trends across the country, California’s urban anglers identified a lack of free time as the primary reason why they don’t fish more or stopped altogether,” the website states. “Many city and regional park lakes, ponds and streams were all but forgotten as potential fishing sites and many lacked adequate facilities, staff or fish to sustain a fishing program. Some suffered from non-point source pollution and habitat degradation.

TIGHT LINES — By Parimal M. Rohit

California accepting grant applications for Hispanic-themed fishing programs

By Parimal M. Rohit

Fisheries council balks at longline fishing permit Members voted to not move forward with an amendment to allow shallow-set longing gear off the West Coast.

By Parimal M. Rohit COSTA MESA—The Pacific Fisheries Management Council (PFMC), during its November meetings in Costa Mesa, decided to hold off on an amendment proposing to allow shallow-set longline gear use off the West Coast of the United States.

It is still possible, however, the proposal, which would have amended a Fishery Management Plan for the U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone in the West Coast, could come back to the council.

Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-California, wrote a letter to the council on Nov. 18, urging members to not approve any plans to allow shallow-set longline permits.

“Authorization of a Californiabased longline fishery would be a step backward in the Pacific Fishery Management Council’s longstanding commitment to making meaningful progress toward reducing bycatch within U.S. West Coast fisheries,” Feinstein wrote in her Nov. 18 letter to the council.

She added a new longline fishery would be inconsistent with the Magnuson-Stevens Act. We understand that NOAA Fisheries may be pursuing longline authorization in order to enhance domestic fisheries production, with an eye toward increased exploitation of ‘underutilized’ stocks,” Feinstein wrote.

“However, far from being underutilized, some highly migratory species stocks, such as Pacific bluefin tuna, Eastern Pacific swordfish and Eastern Pacific yellowfin tuna, are either overfished or subject to overfishing.

“Pursuit of a new longline fishery also appears to be wholly inconsistent with the bycatch requirements of the Magnuson-Stevens Act,” Feinstein continued in her letter.

Eric Sklar, president of the California Fish and Game Commission, also wrote a letter to PFMC members, urging them to engage in a robust public process before making any decisions on use of short-set longline gear.

“Due to unacceptable levels of bycatch and interactions with protected species, the commission does not support the use of [shallow-set longline] gear, whether inside or outside of the [West Coast Exclusive Economic Zone],” Sklar wrote in a letter on behalf of the Fish and Game Commission.

“While the commission is opposed to the currently unacceptable levels of bycatch with [shallow-set longline] gear, the commission is open to a robust public discussion that addresses numerous questions about how a West Coast [shallow-set longline] fishery outside of the [exclusive economic zone] would operate,” Sklar later wrote in his letter.

Gears used to catch swordfish on the West Coast are managed by the PFMC, specifically the Fishery Management Plan for West Coast Fisheries for Highly Migratory Species.

Longline is a form of gear used to catch swordfish. Other gears used include large mesh drift gillnets, harpoons and deep-set buoy gear.

Pelagic longline gear cannot be used within the U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone (3 to 200 nautical miles offshore).

“Shallow-set longline fishing … to target swordfish cannot be conducted both east and west of 150 degrees W longitude,” PFMC staff stated in a report to council members. “However, there is general interest in exploring use of pelagic longline gear on the West Coast. Bycatch of non-target finish species and incidental take of protected species wile targeting swordfish remains an ongoing concern for the council because protected species, including whales, dolphins, pinnipeds (e.g. seals, sea lions), sea turtles and seabirds have special status under Federal statutes.”

The council met in Costa Mesa, Nov. 14-20. Members considered the shallow-set longline proposal on Nov. 19. Members of the PFMC could revisit shallow-set longline permits in March 2020; that meeting will be held at Rohnert Park, March 3-9. A vote on an updated amendment, which would take into consideration certain conditions, could be in front of the council at the June meetings in San Diego; the meetings will be held June 11-18.

SACRAMENTO—California’s Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) announced it is accepting grant applications for fishing activities, classes and programs aiming to engage and educate local Hispanic communities. The grants are part of the department’s effort to recruitment, retention and reactivation of? anglers - also known as the R3 program.

Funds are available through the George H.W. Bush Vamos A Pescar Education Fund; the education fund supports the Recreational Boating and Fishing Foundation’s (RBFF) Hispanic initiative.

“To further the reach and facilitate partnerships at the local level, funds are provided for state agencies to match and sub grant to local 501(c)(3) organizations,” CDFW staff explained in a released statement. “With the help of donations from companies and organizations, this fund has continued to grow and expand nationally to keep future generations educated about the joys of fishing and boating and the importance of conservation.”

All submitted proposals will be ranked by CDFW staff and then submitted to RBFF’s advisory board for review. The final grant recipients will be announced on Jan. 17, 2020.

Programs eligible for funding must be ethnically inclusive and be open to families of all backgrounds. Each program must also offer bilingual Spanish-English instruction and materials, according to CDFW staff.

RBFF will also be looking for programs that are family-focused and encourage fishing in California’s metropolitan areas. Programs seeking grant funding should also “promote good stewardship toward the state’s aquatic resources and include information on angler funded … conservation projects,” CDFW staff said in a released statement.

Applications are due by 5 p.m. on Dec. 6 and should be submitted via email to jennifer.benedet@wildlife.ca.gov.

San Diego Report

Yellowfin and bluefin continue to bite after first cold weather storm of the season

By Bob Vanian SAN DIEGO—The late part of the 2019 Southern California offshore fishing season has been outstanding with good numbers of yellowfin tuna and bluefin tuna continuing to bite as we approach Thanksgiving. Last week saw the first cold weather storm of the season come through Southern California and anglers were anxious to find out what effect the three days of wet and stormy weather might have on the tuna fishing. The answer was a good one with good numbers of yellowfin tuna and bluefin tuna still around and biting after the storm. The question now at issue is what effect the next cold weather system is going to have with Southern California, which bracing for three more days of rain, wind and high seas - all of which are forecast for the day before Thanksgiving, Thanksgiving Day and the day after Thanksgiving.

The current good tuna bite areas are in the region of the Corner, the San Clemente Basin Weather Buoy and the deep water basin to the southwest of the 43 Fathom Spot. Action has been

Bob Vanian’s

coming from an area spread from 33 to 47 miles 247 to 255 degrees from Point Loma. Prior to the storm that came through last week there were yellowfin, bluefin, kelp paddie yellowtail and skipjack biting at spots within 25 miles of Point Loma for boats fishing at the 9 Mile Bank, 178 Spot, 224 Spot and 302 Spot but since the last storm front went though those areas have been producing some yellowtail and a few skipjack but nothing much in the way of yellowfin tuna or bluefin tuna.

Time will tell what effect the upcoming weather system might have on the tuna fishing. The yellowfin and bluefin are currently being found in 63.5- to 64.5-degree water and if it cools much more, they will likely begin to migrate out of our waters to spend time in warmer waters for the winter months. It is the cycle of nature and it happens every year.

The yellowfin are good sized fish with most running between 25 and 40 pounds. The bluefin are mostly in the 15- to 60-pound range, with occasional bluefin encountered in the 100- to 125pound range. Yellowfin and bluefin action has been coming from stopping on meter marks, sonar marks, kelp paddies, spots of breezing fish, spots of

976-BITE FISH REPORTS

breaking fish, skipjack trolling strikes and yellowfin trolling strikes. Sardines have been working best for bait with mackerel, Colt Snipers and Flat Fall jigs also producing some action.

Areas that have produced recent swordfish action while deep drop fishing have been the 152 Spot off the East End of Catalina, the Slide, the area outside of Avalon and the coastal dropoff shelf outside of Newport Beach, Abalone Point and Oceanside. In the San Diego region, productive areas have been the 178 Spot and the outside edges of the upper end of the 9 Mile Bank. Large squid and mackerel have been effective baits with the large squid usually working the best.

The fishing along the San Diego County coast is into what is mostly a bottom fishing mode with reds, rockfish, sculpin, bass and whitefish making up the bulk of the catch. There have also been occasional flurries of bonito action by the Whistler Buoy at Point Loma and off Imperial Beach while fishing the region of the International Reef.

Locating bonito activity has been hit or miss but there have been some showings of bonito in recent days.

There are still some calico bass biting at kelp bed areas along the San

Diego County Coast but more and more of the coastal fishing for bass, sculpin, reds, rockfish and whitefish is being done at hard bottom and structure spots. Productive areas have been at the International Reef, the Imperial Beach Pipeline, the hard bottom areas around the Whistler Buoy at Point Loma, the hard bottom to the north and northwest of Buoy #5 at Point Loma, the Point Loma Pipeline, the Green Tank, The 270, the upper end of La Jolla, Torrey Pines, Del Mar, Leucadia, the Anderson and Buccaneer Pipelines, the artificial reefs outside of Oceanside and Box Canyon.

Southern California anglers have been blessed with a good long tuna season with bluefin tuna and yellowfin tuna biting late into the year ahead of Thanksgiving. Time will tell what will be around in the way of tuna after the next weather system passes through.

Be it fishing offshore for tuna or swordfish, fishing at the local Islands or fishing along the coast, I hope you get a chance to get out on the water in some nice weather and enjoy some fun fishing! Keep on fishing and I hope to see you out on the water!
