at Mehl's Colonial Chapel, 222 E. Lake Watsonville. Contributions are preferred to the United Presbyterian Church or a favorite charity. Nena Dvorak Services will be Saturday for Nena L. Dvorak, who died Saturday at Watsonville Community Hospital after long illness.

She was 74. A native of Batum, Armenia, she came to the Watsonville area in 1971. When she was younger, Mrs. Dvorak was a professional actress. She was a member of Corral itos Free first American to orbit the earth.

"This is like Mickey Mouse. This is small potatoes." Corporations with offices along the parade route reported frenzied calls from mayoral Aides urging them to dispatch employees to the'-street Tickets to the private City Hall ceremony were being passed -out until the very last minute. But for those who did show up, there were many cheerful scenes of people enjoying themselves during their brush with history. Fathers hoisted children on their shoulders, children waved American flags, and people lined up to buy commemora-" tive T-shirts. A woman from Dallas" screamed as she explained how she had emerged from the subway and found herself watching the parade.

"We just came out of the subway and stumbled rig(t into it," the woman, Janella Cox, said. "This is just too lucky." One 34-year-old father, Moran, brought his 3-year-old son, Harry, from Queens to watch from a second-floor office on Broadway. Moran carried a flag, and Larry a bullhorn. The two had been studying old National Geographic photo-" graph of rocket missions in prepare-. tion for Monday's events.

"This is a ticker-tape parade worthy of its participants," Moran said. "It's a connection with our history, history I want to pass on to my "torn Htm Yorfc Tim NEW YORK With golden sunlight glazing the autumn leaves and a light breeze sweeping down Broadway, it seemed a(great day to honor John Glenn, and for tens of thousands of people, it was. But for the longest time Monday morning, almost the only people to show up to honor the 77-year-old astronaut, U.S. senator and undisputed American hero were the police, firefighters and sanitation workers assigned to handle the crowd. And even once the parade got under way, crowds were by New York standards modest if not thin, with indications along the traditional parade route that Mayor Rudolph Giuliani might have overestimated the public's appetite for a third ticker-tape extravaganza since October.

Piles of special newspaper editions that were published to mark the parade remained unsold on sidewalks; once the parade started, the confetti that substitutes for ticker tape was sparse, and the large crowds never materialized. While the police estimated that 500,000 people turned out to honor the astronauts of the recently returned space shuttle Discovery, the crowds were only three or four deep along much of the parade route. A ticker-tape parade last month for the Yankees, by contrast, drew an estimated 3.5 million people. Monday's turnout amounted to a pale reprise of the gigantic celebration for Glenn in March 1962 when he returned from his launch into space, the second American to do s. That parade set the all-time record fraj ri Methodist Church and the Casserly Ladies Golf Club.

Still, at least some in City Hall are concerned Wells Fargo may have a good case. Perhaps, said Councilman Michael Hernandez, it would be in the city's best interest to negotiate.

"I guess my biggest fear is they would prevail in court," Hernandez said. Opponents of housing at Terrace Point also fear that if Wells Fargo doesn't get approval for housing, it will simply sell the land to the university. UC Santa Cruz already operates Long Marine Lab at the site and is preparing to open the Marine Discovery Center nearby. Liz Irwin, the university's director of public information, said campus officials are taking no position on the housing issue. "We certainly recognize the value of coastal research and we have expressed support and welcome partnerships but that is not within our purview now," she said.

If the project were approved, Wells Fargo would sell development rights because they are not developers or builders. 4 proceeds from Measure approved by city voters on Nov. 3. "I think the City Council set a precedent in Bombay, saying if you file a lawsuit in the city, you get treated different and we feel that put them on the fast track," said Bowden. "It's a policy we won't take advantage of, but it is there and it's a fact" City Manager Richard Wilson said Terrace Point is different from the Bombay property because it must receive state Coastal Commission approval.

"Our experience is that litigation is not a productive way for either side to attain a development proposal," Wilson said. Wilson said the general plan is not set in stone. Public opinion and the political will of elected officials must be taken into account, he said. Bowden, however, says the long-running process has been unfair to his client The Planning Commission decision not to hold a hearing until Thursday was a "clear attempt to manipulate a land-use decision." What it means is that three newly elected councilmen opposed to housing at Terrace Point will be sworn in before the council makes its decision in December or January. Bowden accused Mayor Celia Scott of orchestrating the timing.

Scott said she did not. Councilman Mike Rot kin said it would be a mistake to assume the current council favors housing there. "I don't think that a legal threat or a threat of a non-project is sufficient to get anyone on this Council to do anything," Rotkin said. "I think it is reasonable to take the threats to mean they feel they don't have a chance. They seem to have a Yes, assuming you are in otherwise gooa health.

"Litigation is always a risky enterprise and always unpredictable and expensive and is bad for the client," he said. "My job is to keep them out of court." City planners last month recommended to the Planning Commission that the number of homes be limited to between 90 and 125 and that they be concentrated in one area away from the coast.

Wells Fargo wants 67 of the units to be single-family homes. The planners think that number should be 14. That "last-minute" angered and frustrated Wells Fargo representatives. They maintain it was vague, undocumented and inconsistent with the general plan. Disagreement over what the general plan allows or doesn't allow is the issue most likely to end up in court.

The situation, in some ways, is similar to what happened when the Fresno firm Bombay Corp. proposed in 1992 to build 11 homes on 246 acres across Highway 1 from Terrace Point. The city said no. Bombay sued, saying the denial was illegal, partly because the general plan called for some housing on the property. The suit was thrown out of court in 1996 but threats of additional litigation caused the city to negotiate with Bombay.

That eventually led to an agreement that Bombay could build homes on part of the property. To keep that from happening, the city is now buying the land for nearly $4 million.
