Twenty years ago this month, a
savage fire devoured 14,000 acres
of Laguna Canyon wilderness and
ravaged multiple
neighborhoods.
The fire that

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 fire.
“That’s the frustrating part of
our business; often the fire destroys
evidence,” said Scott Brown, division
chief of the Orange County Fire
Authority, which investigated the
blaze because it ignited first in county
territory.
On that fateful day, Brown was a fire
captain and one of the first arriving
engine companies, No. 222, on the
scene in Laguna Canyon.
Investigative reports on the Laguna
fire 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

One On One With debbie nassetta
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.

Replacing utility poles required extraordinary efforts this week in a Bluebird Canyon neighborhood.
Flying Poles Force
Brief Evacuation
Tennis Courts
Set for Repairs
No Square Theater’s annual
production of “Lagunatics” was
officially postponed until 2014
and Laguna Playhouse will make
substitutions in their season line-up,
the two theaters announced separately
this week.
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.

Director Steve May said the

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.

DISASTER, Page 23
The Newport Beach Police Department is nearing the conclusion of
specialized Motorcycle Safety Enforcement Operations in an effort to lower
deaths and injuries.
These operations began in August
and continue through the end of
September. Extra officers are on duty
patrolling areas frequented by motorcyclists and where motorcycle crashes
occur. Officers are looking for violations made by drivers and riders alike
that can lead to motorcycle crashes,
including being under the influence
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 fatalities. 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 turning 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.

A: It used to be glass electric

It looks the same as the electric

Specialized Appliances Season Kitchen Design
By Gina Dostler
Real 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
