JUDGE TURNS UP VOLUME ••• From Al tations on the state fairgrounds or its tenant , the $14-million amphitheater. She also denied the prcluninary injuctton because "there was no reasonable probability" that the city would win its civil suit and be Jf3nted a permanent court order against the amphitheater. The Judge's ruling kills Costa Mesa's suit. but Wood said be would attempt to keep the litigation alive by filing an appeal with the 4th Distnct Appellate Coun branch in Santa Ana. "I think (Ryan) is wrona.. I think we'll get a reversal in appellate coun," said Wood. The city's cross suit was filed Sept. 25 in resr>0nse to an earlier civil suit by Ned-West, which clatmed Costa Mesa's noise ordinance was aimed solely at the amphitheater and thus violated the "equal protection clause" of the U.S. Constitution. Mon.day's ac11on added another wrinkJe to the legal question of whether the amphitheater is exempt from local regulatiozu. and protected by the shield of "sovereign immuni- ty." • Atto~s for Ned-West posed that same defense in the separate cnmmal complaints filed against ttie company for violating Costa Mesa's noise ordinance during two rock concerts thjs summer. In those cases, Hal'bor Municipal Court Selim Franklin ruled on Sept. 28 that the city could il'ldced pros- ecute amphitheater owners under the noise ordinance. Franklin explained Costa Mesa was not trying to regulate activity on the fairarounds. but rather the noise that was leaving· the grounds. City Attorney Wood interpreted the decision to mean that Franklin ••did not buy the argument" of sovereign immunity. With conflicting court decisions, it may be up to the al)pellate court to settle the issue of whether Costa Mesa can police the amphitheater. Netl Papiano, attorney and clllef executive officer for Ned-West, said the ruling by Judge Ryan Upped the scales in his favor. "This is a superior court, ag the word implies. This is the highest dcc:ision 10 this.~ on the !f Pli- cauon of sovercian 1mmun1ty, Pa- piano said. Ned-West has not appealed the Municipal Court decision, and Pa- piano said the Superior Court ruling KITTY NEEDS A HOME .••• P'romAl pretty bad habit. Kitty became a golf course thief. She stole golf balls-specifically, she stole golf balls that golfers were putting out on the 18th green when victory or defeat could often hang tn the balance. Her penchant for latching on to golf balls -she buned them sn the groundskeeper"s sand pile for reasons known only to herself-turned out to be a hazard that nearly cost her her hfe. About four weeks ago Kell y Piptno. who works at the ~olf course's pro shop. found K.JUy s battered and unconscious body under a car in the golf club's parking lot. "They broke her Jaw and nearly destroyed her eye and ear. She sufTettd cnou&h trauma to be run over by a car. But he never went out I • "We thank that some golfer became mad about losing a golf ball and struck her in the side of the head with a golf club." With K.Jtty hoverin_g between life and death, George Cantaras -a golfer and vetennarian -took charge. He took Kitty to his animal hospital in Co~~ Mesa. reset her jaw and nursed her back to health. She's aJmost recovered, Camaras said. Now, Camaras and Pipino must find a new home for Kiuy. They can't take a chance on.returning her to the golf course and have her return to her danaerous life oflareeny on the links. They're look.in& for a good home, with rcsr>0nsible owncts.

Moreover, on the same day that Judge Ryan ruled that Costa Mesa had no authority to reaulatc the arena, the City Council gave final approval on another law intended to force amphitheater management to apply for an entertainment pennit. That permit would only be granted if the company agrees to abide by city building, ~raffic, safety -and noise -rqulauons. Wood said the entertainment ordi- nance becomes effective in 30 days. This isn't purr-ah, par -for the course. Camaras said, because cats are so fastidious. That's why a potential owner must be willing to help out with her personal hygiene. "We want to find a owner willing to do this," Camaras said. "We want her back if someone takes her and doesn't want to keep her.
