Orange OKs more permit only parking A permit parking only restric- tion was granted to residents on Sycamore, between Rancho San- tiago and Richard Streets, by the Orange City Council, March 14. Neighboring Silverleaf, Rich- ard and Christine Streets will likely be granted the same status at a council meeting in April. Street parking is elusive in that neighborhood, due to a large apartment complex bordering Rancho Santiago and Spring and several smaller complexes in the county’s jurisdiction. Residents complain of vehicles and trucks stored there, with trash, beer bot- tles and condoms left behind. The parking study conducted by city staff determined that Syc- amore Street was the only one that met the 75% of capacity curbside parking required to validate the need for resident permits. Syca- more’s average parking measure was 86%. Christine Street was 28%; Richard, 58%; Silverleaf, 42%; and Rancho Santiago, 58%. The council recognized that once Sycamore’s permit only parking was activated, spillover would affect the surrounding streets. “We know Silverleaf and Richard will be next,” Jon Dumitru noted. “Why can’t we just approve those streets now? It’ll save residents about four months.” City Attorney Anne Binning advised that the other streets could not be included, as those residents had not been properly notified and "we don’t know their level of support.” Dumitru suggested the Syca- more vote be continued until April, by which time residents on surrounding streets would have been notified and the entirety could be approved all at once. Denis Bilodeau asked that the Sycamore vote be taken that night, and the council could con- sider the other streets next time. The council agreed to do that. The Sycamore permit parking was approved by unanimous vote. Rotary Car Show to take over Plaza Rotary Club of Orange Plaza will host its 27th Annual Orange Plaza Rotary Car Show on Sun., April 16 from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Over 400 pre-1976 collector, muscle, modified, classic, an- tique, foreign and domestic sports cars and over 40 vendors will be gathered at this free event. Amelia Earhart’s 1932 Hudson Terraplane, the first of its kind and the best-selling car in America prior to WWII, will be featured. After her solo flight across the Atlantic in 1932, Amelia Earhart was an American heroine, the darling of aviation and a celeb- rity worldwide. In response to the stock market crash and the Great Depression, Hudson President Roy D. Chapin ordered a new au- tomobile design under the Essex brand – the Hudson Terraplane, a totally enclosed, mass produced, low price, five-passenger auto- mobile. With a six-cylinder en- gine for added power, it was the fastest car on the road – and only $500. To advertise the new vehi- cle, Chapin determined a theme: Amelia flies an Aeroplane — and you can drive a Terraplane. At the premiere, Earhart was given roses and handed a cham- pagne bottle with which to chris- ten the Terraplane. She said, “I christen thee Essex Terraplane,” and then broke the left wing off the hood’s ornamental bird. The weld spot can still be seen on the wing. The Terraplane is now owned by Jim Sommers of Sommers Racing Engines -- and has found a home in Orange for the past 40 years. Sommers retired last year, so he and the Terraplane now live in Arizona. This may be the last chance to see Amelia's first car -- unless you plan to travel to Atchi- son, Kansas (her hometown) this July, where the Terraplane will be on display at the annual Amelia Earhart Festival. Rotary Clubs of Santa Ana and Orange North, El Modena High School Interact Club, Boy Scout Troop #241, and Orange Police Explorers Post will also be a part of the event. The OPA Women’s League was jammin’ in March. The Homestead & Garden group learned how to make and preserve homemade straw- berry and kumquat jam laced with Cointreau.
