Annual contest Go fly a kite this weekend By DEMISE KUSEL Staff WrIU-r T h e Adler looked fierce hanging from t h e ceiling with i t s four-foot wing span a n d extended talons. It s rich brown plumage was carefully outlined with a deep gold. A gust o f wind blew in through an open door, catching t he Adler straight o n . If tossed like a captive bird with untried w ings. "THAT'S T H E first kite 1 ever flew," said Law- rence Platt, looking up at th e Adler, made b y Gun- ther o f Germany. Platt, 32, is co-owner o f the Belm ont Shore sh o p U p Your Kite at 202 L a- Veme Avc. "We're getting ready f or th e annual kite-flying contest sponsored by the city o n Friday, Saturday a n d Sunday. I won't b e able to participate." he said pointing lo t h e brace around hi s neck. "1 was h it by a car while riding m y bicycle." Platt, w h o earned a bachelor's degree from Long Beach Stale Univer- sity in ancient Chinese history, traced th e history of kite-flying back t o China. "It's an old Chinese sport and is practiced in other parts of the Far East and in India, as well," Platt said. H e pointed lo a number o f simply constructed kites hanging o n th e wall o f hi s shop, including some with th e Bicentenni- a l insign ia emb ossed across their wingtips, an d said: "Don't le t their sim- plicity fool you. I t takes an experienced person to get one of these babies flying." PLATT SA ID that i n competition the fighter Vales c a n swoop down from high altitudes lo at- tack another kite. Fighter kites are flown with specially constructed string w ith glass imbed- ded of it. The is used to sever an oppo- nent's kite string . T e result is one lost kite. "It's quite exciting," Platt said, "but I don't recommend it for begin- ners. It's just one of the m any a sp e c ts of kite- flying. "Every kite has its own personality. F o r example, this tri-wing German Fok- ker. It's designed by Strat- lo n A ir Engineering a n d comes in a kit you can put together." H e held the red plane- kite aloft. The German Iron Cross wa s painted neatly on its wings. Next to the Fokker, a Tetra kite kit was sitting on a table. The brightly colored yellow-and-orange bo x kite uses th e same aerodynamic design i n- vented b y Alexander Graham Bell. Platt said: "The M ylar dragon kites are very popular for beginners. Mylar feels like cellophane but is much more durable. T he large ones are 45 feet long. T h e cubs are 25 feet in length. "U p until about a year ago, people were just buy - in g kites f or their kids, b u t now a lot m ore adults a re into kite flying." A s part o f Saturday's kite-festival aclivities, a SOUTHEAST BUILDUP (Continued from rage B-l) derinitivc solution t o th e traffic problem is worked out," said Te d Lingle, president of the Naples Im- provement Association. I n a letter to the commission, Ron Salk, president of Alamitos Ba y Beach Preservation, also argued th e SEAD1P proposal does n o t adequately cover costs to serv- ice the development envisioned. "What are the roads going to cost?" Salk asked. "The sowers? W hat ne w schools ar e envisioned? W i ll n e w fire stations be requir- ed?" Norma Mayfield, general plan study chairman for the League o f Women Voters of Long Beach Area, said t h e league supports the master pla n idea, but questioned such problems as seismic safely, ade- quate drainage, soil suitability, conservation of wetlands a n d their wildlife, noise and a ir pollution and energy demands. Mrs. Mayfield also asked about costs o f providing services to the n e w areas. Ro n Case, representing Bixby Uanch Co., which owns about 325 of th e I,-170 acres in SEADIP, said th e company supports the development plan, although i t asked for "flex- ibility" about preservation of the marsh so it can submit a proposal o n it . "W e have contended from th e beginning that none of the land in area th e traffic problem, a n d none o f that land ca n solve th e problem," Case said. He said ho does no t believe t h e SEADIP plan should be held up by the pending transportation study, as some speakers suggested. W e e k - l o rd M o r g a n , chairman o f t h e Planning Comm ission, h a d sug- gested at th e start of th e meeting (hat th e session be devoted to hoar- i n g th e staff report a n d ivaiiuiony from the public, and that the com- m issioners r e se r v e a n y questions o r comm ents they m a y have until th e hearing resumes.

Story's cougars, there followed some com- plaints from neighbors, and Ihe "Cat Lady" went lo b at f o r feline rights. T h e following July s h e g o t a permit from th e Regional Planning Commission. That, neighbors indicated, wa s a catasfophe.. They took their case t o the supervisors, asking with- draw al of the permit. There the matter rested for awhile, the board declining lo over- rule the Planning Com mission. Then came more anti-big-cal pcli- tions and the matter went o n Thursday's agenda. M e a n w h i l e, "Arisloltle" a n d M rs. S to r y h a d gained fame in magazine articles, and an ocelot named "Seymour" h ad gone AWOL fo r four days a n d become a cata- lyst f o r another neighborhood en - counter. "Seymour" wound up in the rafters of a neighbor's laundry room. When Mrs. Story ca m e to lure him back with a quart of milk, h e "bit h er nose clear throu gh," th e neighbor told th e board Thurs- day. "Nonsense," purred "Sey- mour's"owner. "That was a love hite. Thai's th e w ay ocelots mak e love," M rs. Story told t h e supervi- sors. Later on, another neighbor adm itted neither he nor others in th e area were againsl animals; they just felt sorry f or cougars w h o drink wine (a s reported in one of th e magazine pieces). And for cats . who are de-clawed and flooded with high decibel doses o f hard rock, "audible for a quarter o f a mile away." Another neighbor told o f Mrs. Story beating the bushes at night, calling to escaped cats, and of occasionally seeing th e runaways in h i s yard. S h e denied there h a d been run- aways other than Seymour. She said furthermore tha t the whole cat enclave i s surrounded o n three sides by empty lots a n d there is no w a y f o r anyone lo even sec the cats in their cages. Supervisors c u t o f f th e dialogue when one neighbor and M rs. Story g ot into a verbal tiff over "Sey- mour" Then they agreed lo lake u p th e case again in two weeks' when a quorum is expected. Mrs. Slory left with a promise to fence her prop erty if she's per- m itted lo keep h e r pets, warning "there would be great danger to their lives i f they had lo be moved."

Council members re- scinded their M arch 30 ac- tion to put Proposition J o n th e ballot because it s subject—possible conflict of interest o f city officials i s covered by t h e slale's Political Reform Act of 197-1 and rules of the slate's Fair Political Prac- tices Comm i ss io n . Proposition J would have am ended S e c t io n of th e charter to prohibit those persons who are offi- cers (executive-level offi- cials) o f o t h e r governmen- t al entities or of public utilities in Long Beach from serving a s officers o r employes of the city. At t h e same time th e proposition w ou ld have eliminated t h e present b an o n holding o f city office or employment f o r persons w h o are simply employes of other local government a n d utility groups. "Since th e trend is to provide greater opportuni- t y fo r local governm ent participation o n important state a n d federal commis- sions and to provide great- er authority to such com- m i s s io n s , it wou ld be counter-productive for the city to create uncertainty regarding t h e right of its o w n officers a n d employes to serve on such comm is- sions," said Assistant City Attorney Edward T Ben- nett. 9' OU R REG. TICKET PRICE 5.97 Queens way Bay title now official The water area between Pier J and the Pacific Ter- race shoreline, from t h e mouth of the Us Angeles River to a prolongation o f Alamitos Avenue, is now officially Queensway Bay. Th e name w a s approved unanimously by t h e I/>ng Beach City Council, which directed th e city clerk t o send a letter to the appro- priate federal agency, r e - questing that future maps o f th e area show th e name Queensway Bay. Previously, all of the water area of f Long Beach h a s been par t of San Pedro Bay, which extends from Point Fermin to the coastline below Hunting- to n Beach. The only opposition to Ih e name came from T e d Lyman. general manager n f th e Queen Mary Hyatt Hotel, w h o said h e really did not wanl to oppose th e action b ut questioned w h y it w a s necessary. Councilman D o n Phil- lips said h e fell t h e name, which w a s originally sug- gested by Jim Gray, a Long Beach businessman and civic leader, would provide "a remarkable opportunity t o promote that area in a unified man- ner." W hen all of the pro- posed developments around Queensway Bay a r e completed, including Pacific Terrace Conven- tion Center, th e planned Radisson Hotel a n d other hotel o r restaurant devel- opments, the area can be promoted much as is M i s- sion Bay in San Diego.
