NEWYORK -Ousted "Survivor•
Sarah Jones will come home to New-
port Beach today, minus the million-
dollar prize but richer for her experi-
ence on the reality show "Survivor 4:
Marquesas,• she said Thursday.
She'll live, at least for a while,
with many lingering effects of livrng
m the public eye during the TV
reality show's latest go-round -not
the least of which is the fallout from
images of Jones with an American
flag on the island.
In one segment, she was shown
sitting on an Amencan flag for an
interview. In another, she was seen
using the flag as a blanket.
•As a veteran I was personally
offended and l am sure other veter-
ans who have fought for Old Glory
felt likewise,· Denms Biennas
wrote in an e-mail to the Daily Pi.lot.
J .T. Tar-Water, commander of
American Legion Post 291 in New-
port Beach, said there had been no
talk of the matter that he knew of at
the post Thursday but emphasized
the importance of respecting the flag.
"These days, you see flags used
for everything -teddy bears, biki-
nis. I think the intent is what's most
l.inportant, • he said. *This is the flag
of ou.r country.•
Jo,nes said she meant no disre-
spect. though decisions by the
show's producers may have made it
seem otherwise.
"The flag belonged to Paschal -
it was his luxury it~m. He's a veter-
an," Jones said in a telephone inter-
view from New York. "When the
producer set it on the ground for me
to sit on for an interview, I said, 'I
thought you weren't supposed to
put Oags on the ground.' He said
something like, 'Well, you're not
supposed to have them here like
this on the island, either.'•
As for the shots of her using the
Oag for a blanket, she said, •All five
of us. in the tribe slept under it. l don't
know why they only showed me."
At the time, she said, the image
of five allies sleeping together
under the flag seemed moving and
patriotic.
Jones said her experience on the
show has had many long-lasting
benefits. For one, she has come to
appreciate people in a way that
never before seemed possible.
"When you put 15 random peo-
ple together like that. you learn that

It is not known how the

Police received the call
about 2 p.m. Negotiators
talked to the man, who was

hours.
The man, wearing a white

seemed agitated as he lis-
tened to negotiators, step-
ping side to side. He looked
down several times and often
i.eemed to be looking at his
watch as if to check the time.
Birney said the last known

off one of the neighborhood's
high-rise buildings was in
the 1980s.

with Army National Guard
patrols.
The 222nd Combat Com-

National Guard, which is
based in C<>Sta Mesa, will be
reassigned to Los Angeles
International Airport.
The move is expected to
occur Monday. Guard Sgt.
Frank Miezwa said.
The units began patrolling
the airport and overseeing
screening checkpoints in
mid-October. Gov. Gray
Davis ordered the move to
help secure airports across
the state after the Sept. 11

Several dozen armed
guards have been slalloned
at the airport lo add an extra
layer of security. That num-
ber isn't expected lo change.
"I would think it would be
a one-for-one exchange,"
Miezwa said.
The new guardsmen will
come from other areas of the

Commission decision puts travel agents on defensive
• Four major airlines
this month opt not to
pay on most domestic
tickets.
Deirdre Newman
DAILY PILOT
NEWPORT-MESA -A
decision this mortth by four
major airlines to cut travel
agent commiSsions on most
domestic tickets could be the
death knell for small travel
agencies. And the ones that
survive will probably have to
charge higher fees, some in
the industry say.
•1 would venture to guess
that about 80% of the travel
agencies wider SS million a
year will close their doors,"
said Shirley Price, co-owner
of Newport Beach navel in
Corona del Mar.
On March 14, Delta Air-
lines was the first to nix
commissions for tickets
issued in the U.S. and
Canada to reduce costs, fol-
lowed by American, Conti-
nental and Northwest.
,Commissions had been 5 %
of the price of a ticket, up to
a maximum of $20. The air-
lines are banking on the
popularity of online trave l
sites, including their own,
that circumvent agent fees.
But don't count travel
agents out altogether
because they still offer a
personal touch that online
services can't match, said
Fred Addi, owner of Sun-
flower Travel in Costa
Me$a. .
"Presumably, a g~d
travel agent still has knowl-
edge and expertise that a
consumer doesn't have,'"
Addi said. "The fact that
you have access to some-
thing doesn't make you an
expert at that job. You can
access a lot of medical infor-
mation online, but that
doesn't make you a doctor."
The airlines cut commis-
sions seven years ago from
10% to 7%, then sliced them
to 5% with a $50 maximum,
and then reduced the maxi-
ffiUJll to $20 last year.
Agents have been fight-
ing the dwindling commis-
sions for just as long. and
many have already raised
their fees to compe nsate.
Price said her company

will immediately begin to
lose $18,000 a month
because of the latest cut,
prompting the three full-
time employees to forsake
their expensive office and
move into the co-owner's
home. The company
already tacks on a fee of $20
per ticket, which may soon
increase to offset the new
loss, she added.
Margciret Argos, manag-
er of Newport Mesa Travel
Connection in Newport
Beach, predicted that agen-
cies would be more prone to
losing businesspeople who
have secretaries to take care
of their travel than the
leisure traveler who may not
have a computer at home or
Internet expertise.
Argos said her company
raised its fees afte r the Sept.
11 terrorist attacks and is
not sure if they will be
increased further.
While the airlines main-
tain that cutting com.mis-
sions will save costs, Price
considers that to be a spe-
cious argument.
"The reason 1 don't
believe it is that they all

erty, but it won't deter people from
seeking work in the city.
"We'll just go down the street, or
over to Harbor Boulevard," Miranda
said in Spanish.

Day laboren seeking work bang out at Borger House, across the street from the Costa Mesa Job Center.
Many of the men in front of Burger
House on Thursday afternoon could
be found at 7-Eleven on Placentia
Avenue in the morning, until the
police showed up about 8 a.m.,
Miranda said.
"We ran," Miranda said. ·And
then we came down here."
Another hotbed of soliciting day-
work.ers is the U-Haul rental site on
Newport . Boulevard. Manager
Christopher Sanders was not aware of
the new law and said he did not know
whether company officials would par-
ticipate. When asked if the men stand·
ing outside the business created prob·
lems, he answered, "It's a toss up.·
On the one hand, some customers
call before to ensure there will be
cheap labor on site to help them,
Sanders said. But then there are other
customers who are unnerved by a
group of men swarming the car ask-
ing for work.
tables," he said. "It's just a matter of
how much farther they are going to
step over those boundaries."
Dayworkers at the U-Haul site
declined to comment.

might be less likely to be
owned by someone other
than the dock owner, Ridge-
way noted.
"Documented boats might
not be the same,• he said.
Ridgeway's comm~nts
come in the wake of the
recent revelation that $4 mil·
lion or more a year might be
coming to Newport Beach pri-
vate dock owners as rent for
dock space. The report looked
at CF numbers on 63 boats
and estimated that up to 62%
of the boats at Newport Beach
private docks are not owned
by the homeowner.
This may be a problem
because the city is only a
trustee of these state-owned
tidelands. Often, a portion of
commercial profits from use
of tidelands is supposed to be
set aside to pay for environ·
mental preservation and
improvements.
Curtis Fossum of the State
Lands Commission said he
would probably inquire into
the practice in Newport Beach
to help determine whether the
city-ad.ministered Tidelands
Fund should benefit.
The practice might also be
in violation of city ordinances.
The rules describe commer-
Custom-Made
cial docks as those with mul·
tlple slips that are rented out
to boat owners. Piers used for
private recreational purposes
by the owner or occupant of
an adjacent home are classi-
fied as noncommercial.
Ridgeway also noted that
people renting out their dock
space creates another prob-
lem.
"The other issue is park-
ing," he said. "In the summer

serious problem and this
might add to it.·

The Mustangs' distance running
star won the 800-, 1,600-and 3,200-

DAILY PILOT
T be key words for Newport-Mesans
making travel plans for the summer
do not seem to be •car• and •exotic."
Local travel agencies have instead been
booking flights, cruises·and round-trip
packages to sunny, nearby places such as
Hawaii and Mexico. And though they're
not hearing that people are afraid to fly
after Sept. 11, they are still dealing with
travelers not wanting to stray too far.
"They're afraid of being stuck some-
place and not being able to get home, n said
Astnd Carlson, leisure manager for Back
Bay Travel in Costa Mesa. "People are
thinking doser to home, and I think home
and family have come very much to the
forefront.•
Hot spots indude Hawaii, Mexico and
the Caribbean, said Rik.a Laham, travel
agent for HIS International Tours in Costa
Mesa.
Carlson said she's come across the same
trend but is surprised because it's usually
Hawaii or Mexico that draws travelers l.ll a
season, rarely both.
·And crwses have been popular,• she

said. "Some to Alaska, especially for fanu-
lies. •
Engm Kadaster, vice pres1dent of New-
port International Travels in Newport
Beach, said bargams are plentiful when It
comes to sea adventures. The onty down-
ward pattern on the water this year occurs
in European cruises, as fewer vessels are
stopping in Greece, Turkey and other
points on the Mediterranean coast.
Other deals include cruises to Alaska,
round-trip tickets to the Big Island of
Hawdti, flights to Mexico and packages to
Europe that include reasonable hotel
prices.
' "Your dollar goes a Jong way in
Europe,• Carlson said of the exchange rate
nowadays.
Which could explain why one of the
hottest Euro-travel spots this summer will
be Spain.
"We didn't have any Europe for a while,
but I think people are feeling more com-
fortable," Carlson said. "We have bad
requests for Spain and Italy.•
New Zealand and Australia are also
tourist areas for the summer.
But a region that has lost appeal this
year is the Middle East. Carlson got
numerous requests last year for trips to
Egypt and other countries in the surround·
ing area but the popularity has died down.
"It's just a very unsettled area, and you
don't know what's going to happen,• she
said.
But nearby Turkey, which was a well-
frequented spot last year with its historical
sites, shopping opportunities and beaches,
is still attracting tourists.
"Not as much as we did before, but it is
picking up." Kadaster said. "It's quite a
safe place.•
When it comes to Asian flavors, China's
all the rave with discounted air fares and
hotel accommodatlons.
•People are still looking for a good val-
ue," Kadaster said. "We're still in some
sort of recession, I guess.•

John Cassady
VISITOR'S VIEW
T be hospitality industry was struggling
throughout 2001. It is common
' knowledge now that it took a nose
dive immediately after the tragic events m
September. Since that time, hospitality
businesses have been clawing their way •
back.
Conferences and meetings continue to
go on, as do individual business and leisure
travel. All segments are ~er than in the
successful benchmark year of 2000.
Most travelers report that they prefer to
stay closer to home. Therefo~e, conference
and visitor bureaus -including Newport
Beach and Costa Mesa -have been
directing their marketing efforts to the
regional and drive-market (areas wilhi!t
driving distance) opportunities.
Several distant trade shows and trade
missions were prepaid, so the bureaus fol-
lowed through with those commibnents.
However, most of our business is coming
from visitors right here in California.
Conference planners perceive there are
fewer hassles with regional meetings. They
probably lose something with this choice.
*Backyard bookings• may seem advan-
tageous, but attendees lose the opportunity
to interface with colleagues from a national
or international base.
The good news is that our destinations
in Southern California remain sale and
highly attractive to many VlSitors and con-
ference planners.
There is a new focus for meeting plan·
ners. Their site selection conditions are
safety, competitive overall cost, quality of
facilities and hotels, plus accessibility for
attendees.
Newport Beach and Costa Mesa offer all
of these. Just like the tourism consumer,
geographical convenience and best values
are the primary factors used for destination
selection. We will continue to promote our
wonderful area.
Through the spirit of ~peration with
our memberships and fellow hospitality
organizations, we will remain valuable eco-
nomic contributors in our communities.

'""" Octu

DAILY PILOT
I f you're reading the Daily Pilot
(and I suspect you are), chances
are you don't need someone from
Santa Monica to tell you about
Catalina Island. Especially not
someone making her first-ever vi.slt
to the island. And especially not
someone with a $100 expense
account.
Perhaps the most Catalina-savvy
community.in the world, locals of
the Newport-Mesa area are the real
experts at ilavigating (figuratively
and literally) this local island par-
ad.J.se.
What, then, can the above-men-
boned reporter offer to the Catalina
Island vuntor who has everything?
How about a vacation from yourself?
So dock your yacht and put away
your gold card, it's time to take the
pauper's tour of Catalina Island.
Your trip "Around the Island in

where every morning the Catalina
Flyer hauls everyday people to the
Catalma Island city of Avalon. Cost
of the ticket: $37. Cost of knowing

less. Unfortunately, this landlubber
found out too late, suffering face-
down on the table for the longest 75

JUNE CASAGRANDE I OAllY PILOT
Catalina Island provides Newport-Mesa residents a great place for a scenic getaway, without costing a lot
worth the agony.)
Once solid groLmd hits the soles
of your shoes, though. 1t doesn't take
long for the stomach to again po~ a
direct threat to the pocketbook. Not
to fear, Pancake Cottage is here.
Right in the center of Avalon. you
can score a short stack for just $2.95,
served up by a veteran waitress
named Munel who IS, herself, a
dassic slice of Amencana. And
while enioymg the bottomless pot of
coffee parked on each table in the
tightly packed breakfast spot, you
don't have to wonder how the other
half lives. Just outside the door, win-
dow shopping for sweet nothings
are veteran visitors like Nigel and
Heidi Falls-Hand and their two tod-
dlers. Henry and I tannah.
"We're here a lot,• said Nigel,
who co-pilots the family sailboat on
the 2 112-hour trip from hometown
San Pedro. "A lot.•
Such experts are a wealth of
informabon -about what not to do.
"Oh, don't miss the Casino,•
Nigel said, explaining. for the con-
fused and cashless, that it's not a
gambling place but a gathering
place and dance hall. Sure, 1t sounds
cheap. But, a word to the penny-
wise, always consider the source of
such adVJce.
To digest such information, and
the pancakes, it's probably best to
be sitting down for a while. And
nothing's more tempting than the
idea of renting one of those fun, zip-
py golf carts that go for $30 an hour
-nearly a third of the ddy's budget
Here's where it's best to know the
dlfference between cheapness and
value. As much as it hurts to peel
those three $10 bills off the cash roll,
it's worth it. The carts are the most
fun and cost-efficient way to drink
mas much of the 1Sland as posSlble.
At one end of the pre-mapped
tour is the Wngley Memonal &
Botanical Garden, where (read
between the lines here) you insert
the $5 admission cost into a slot at
the uriattended (repeat, unattended)
front gate. It's best to VJS1t Uus
memorial before you have any
knowledge of the island's tu.story.
That way, you can immaturely muse
about why anyone would build a
memonal to a chewmg gum mogul.

covered foothills that have
been the subject of many a
canvas and brush. If you look
close enough, you can see one
of the lakes that gave Laguna
its name from the Shoshone
Indians. It used to be called
Canada de los 1.aqonas but
officially became Laguna
Beach in 1904. Moving past El
Toro Road, gaze upon the
canyons and fields the dty's
of:fidals cmd locals fought to
keep from development 10
years ago. Don't forget to look
at the old oak trees on your
left as you go around the "big
bend."
When you get to town, also
known as the "Village,• eat
breakfast at the Jolly Roger
(400 S. Coast Highway, mod-
erately priced, (949) 494-
3137). I know its name is
corny, but it's Laguna mom
and pop on the inside with a
traditional and filling gim-
mick-free menu. If you can
get the comer table next to the
windows, you will arguably
have the best table in town.
You can watch the day unfold
on the street.
..
Daily Pilot
Speaking of breakfast, for-
get the long lines at the
Cottage. If you must, try the
Madison Square and Garden
Cate (320 N. Coast Highway,
slightly expensive, (949) 494-
0137). It's an up-and-coming
rival with excellent food and
without the ridiculous wait.
Unless you play beach vol-
leyball or basketball, going to
Main Beach is not the way to
go. It's a feast for the eyes, but
not for tranquillity. It's the
Honolulu of Laguna -fun to
watch for the weekend may-
hem and filled with tourists.
For quality beach time, head
south to Vlctorta (Nyes Place
and South Coast Highway).
YOTlllY OLVIU nun DOUGLAS H IOM / FOR THE DAILY I'll.or i Tourists can take a stroll down Olvera Street in downtown Los Angeles and experience a taste of Mexico.
Filled with clean sand,
rocky outcroppings and clear
water; Victoria has all the ele-
ments necessary for a nice
day. Parking is residential, but
you can find it. A ramp on the
south end makes for easy
access.
Victoria is where the
"extreme• sport of skimboard-
ing was developed in the '70s.
Competitive volleyball still
takes place daily. You can
explore rocks and tide pools to
the noJ'th -look for the old
lighthouse -on small surf
days and walk in the sand
south toward Aliso. Check out
the dear water and rocky
point of neasure Island, a
geologic wonder in itself.
While you're walking, it's hard
to miss the million-dollar
homes on the bluffs.

get in your car and head back
to the Wlage for an art tour.
For first-timers, it's best to
begin at Gallery 2ow. Start at
the comer of Aster Street and
North Coast Inghway and
take your pick from a variety
of original art on display in
more than 20 galleries as you
walk north. .
In particular, Sb:ldio 7
Gallery (384 N. Coast
Highway, (949) -491-1080) has
a nice selection of landscapes
and seascapes by local~·
These are the type of paint-
ings that put Laguna on the
map. It's way Laguna, dude.
Another fun spot is the
Sherwood Gallery (460 s.
Coast Highway, [949) -497-
2668). It'1 otf Gallery Row, but
worth the walk or drive south.
The place has a reputation for
cool, functional art furniture
and mixed media wall sculp-
ture. Have a sense of humor
when you visit here.
A fun place to browse is
Tippecanoe's (648 S. Coast
Highway, (949) 494-1200), a
vintage clothing store that was
there long before vintage
dothing became popular in
the '90s. I found a pair of golf
shoes there that, to my sur-
prise, fit peif ectly. When I
·looked at the price, I was
stunned to see that they were
$13. In a retail store, they alSt
more than $100.
If you need a nibble, go
next door to Taco Loco (640 S.

A classic way to finish your
Laguna experience would be
to venture north to the Royal
Hawa1lan (331 N. Coast
Highway, (949) 494-8001).
·Sure you can eat the savory
seafood and steaks, but peo-
ple dnve from all over Orange
County to sit at one of the
small tables under the tropical
fish tanks and enjoy a drink.
Generations of Laguna resi-
dents will attest to meeting at
the Hawaiian early to catch up
on small talk before going
their separate ways. The
warm. dark Polynesian ambi-
ence of the Royal Hawaiian is
still the classic meeting place
but has gotten trendy lately.
Get there early, while it's

magic fill the place by 10 p.m.

Beverly Hills or even the crass

need to take the 45-minute

of it. It may not be perfect. It
may not be a centralized city.
But it can be a lot of fun.

may reqmre some advanced

Phillipe's is a throwback to
LA's golden years. Its patrons
are the truest measure of the

businessmen and starlets,
families of all varieties. Order
a double-dipped French dip

was invented here in 1908,

between the layers of meat
and bread. Culinary heaven.

The pwpose d the day: to

ers' sweet nect.ms as possible.
Your first stop may be the
Callaway Vineyard and
Winery (32720 Rancho
California Road, (800) 472·
2377). There you may either
have one taste for free or chose
four delectable varieties to sam-
ple for $5 and take a compli-
mentary wine glass etched
with the Callaway name with
you. Visitors are given a list of
eight wines in a suggested
sampling order, which usually
goes from white to red and
sweetest to driest, but ending
with the ~eetest of dessert
wines. It's time to break away
from the simple chardonnay,
cabemet and me.dot and sip on
a syrab. a rich supple red ( 1999
Coastal Reserve Syrah $16 bot·
tle) or delight in the sweet sur-
prise of a muscat cane1li. with

ish (2001 Special Collection
Coastal Muscat Canel.li. $10
bottle), which can only be pur·
chased at the winery.
Free periodic tours offer the
history of James Callaway
(clearly an idol of the guide)
and his many actVentures
befo,re and after establishing
the vineyard and a tour of the
winemaklng process -from
the huge steel machine that
sorts and splits the grapes to
the stainless steel vats where
they becomes the akx>hol we
adore. The vast. chilly room
stacked high with fat oak bar·
rels, each holding enough wine
for 300 bottles, is where I
learned the most interesting of
facts -there are about four
pounds of grapes in every bot·
Ueofwine.
Enough of the learning,
back to the drink.
A definite favorite is bound
to be the nearby Mount
Palomar Winery (33820
Rancho California Road, [909)
676-5047). As soon as you
enter, the warmth of the dark·
wood interior envelopes you,
and the aroma of baking focac-
cia from the Mediterranean
Dell makes you think you've
found heaven.
Here you are given a list of
12 wines of which you select six
to sample ($4 ). For the bold and
robust of heart. there is a 1996
Mount Palomar Meritage
Library Selection ($24 bottle),
which is bound to capture your
attention. It is a Bordeaux blend
of cabernet sauvignon, merlot

The· sµ_nny side of· St. Pete
Florida city's reputation
as a place for old iO{lies
is all washed up, as its
mix of hip art and cool
jazz joints attests. ·
Jennifer K Metu.I
DAILY PILOT
L ittle gray-haired ladies
walking pet poodles, drt-
ving pink Cadillacs and
playing canasta. Old men
lawn bowling and betting on
the greyhounds at the track. A
town so slow you would be
able to see the paint dry if it
weren't for the fact it's so
hwnid.
That's what the words "SL
Petersburg, Fla.· used to con-
Jure for me. That is until I
moved my mother there and
started to visit every other
month. Spending so much of
my vacation time in St.
Petersburg has taught me
something about the town -
mainly that it is younger, hip-
per and more interesting than
I would have ever suspected it
to be.
Though·the white sugar
sand and warm waters of St.
Pete Beach beckon tourists, it
is the city's reviving down-
town that I enjoy most.
Downtown St. Petersburg is
absent the shops selling plas-
bc alligators and five-for-$10
beer logo T-shirts found near
every tolll1St trap in the state.
Instead, what it offers is cul-
ture and laid-back class.
St. Petersburg was founded
m 1888 by Gen. John C.
Williams of Detroit and a
Russian tycoon named Peter
Demens, who wanted to
extend the Orange Belt
Railroad to the Gulf of Mexico.
Demens made an arrange-
ment with Williams to use 500
acres of land. The plan was to
create a railroad town.
It is said that Demens and
Williams could not agree on
who would get to name the
new city. So, like adults, they
drew straws. Demens won
and called the town St.
Petersburg after the town in
Russia. Most people call it St.
Pete. Wilhams got to name the
first commercial building -
the Detroit Hotel.
The hustle of b1g-dty life is
mamly missing from SL Pete's
streets. Ob. it has skyscrapers
-like the 26-floor Bank ol
America building, the tallest
in the city-and the requisite
crew of suits, but there's a dis-
bnct lack of rush. Maybe it's
the humidity or the bright.
beautiful 73-degree days or
the proximity to the water -
Just walk a few blocks, and
you're at Tampa Bay -that
gives St. Pete a Southern
sense of languor.
Whatever the reason, it can
fool you into thinking there's
nothing golllg on in this town.
Not so. 1bink of it as being
slow like jazz rather than slow
like molasses. There are some
achingly beautiful notes, with
a rhythm undemedth.
CENTUL AVENUE
Walle down Central
Avenue between 2nd and 3rd

and Saturday nights, the
music could be corrung from a
Jazz band at the Garden (217
Central Ave, (727) 896-3800).
The neighborhood bistro
serves tasty Mediterranean
cuisine in a casually chic
atmosphere.
Next door is proof that St.
Pete is closer in culture to
New York than Los Angeles.
The Lobby (217 Central Ave.,
[727) 896-3800) is a martini
bar open only on weekends.
Its decor and variety of ways
to get sloshed, plus its clien-
tele, all whisper "Sex in the
City:" Down a block further, at
300 Central Ave., the Rare
Olive ([727] 822-7273) k:ts you
know that this is not a one-
o:uutini town.
If you have A Taste for
Wme, go to the wine bar of
the same name (241 Central
Ave., (727] 895-1623). Its bal-
cony is a nice place to watch
the locals -men sweating it
out in business garb, women
in skirts and strappy sandals
-stroll by.
There is another •a• word
associated with Central
Avenue besides #alcohol" -
'art Between 4th and 7th
streets, Central Avenue
becomes an avenue of the
arts, with about 10 galleries,
anchored by the Florida
Craftsmen Gallery (501
Central Ave., (727) 821-7391).
Housed in a building that
used to be a department store,
the nonprofit Florida
Craftsmen Gallery has kept
the buying and selling of art
alive in downtown St. Pete for
15 years. The gallery, run by a
mostly volunteer staff, only
deals in Florida artists. Works
by painters and textile artists
hang next to pieces by glass-
blowers and sculptOJS. If
you've ever wanted a table
with a base shaped like the
roots of amangrove, this is
your spot.
Internationally recognized
and new artists can be found
at 531 Central iioe Arts (531
Central Ave., (727) 822-2787).
If the twmy metal sculptures
near the window don't grab
your a~tion, the variety of
work on the walls will. From
photography to oils, the
gallery has its eye on style.
Down the street. the Arts
Center (719 Central Ave.,
(727] 822-7872) offers a rotat-
ing selection of exhibits with-
out a price tag attached.
When hunger strikes, and it
will, stop by No. 9 Bangkok
(571 Central Ave., [727) 894-
9936). The restaurant offers
both Thai and Japanese cui-
sine. It may sound like a
strange combination, but don't
be put off. nus place has the
best rainbow roll I've ever
had, and its red curry with
chicken has kept me and
scores of St. Pete natives com-
ing back.
BY THE WATER
When I think of art muse-
ums, I th.ink of landlocked
buildings in ugly locations
filled with beautiful objects.
St. Pete is the only place I
know where there are two
nonnautical museums ta.king
up space on tbe waterfront.
Start by gom.g to the
Museum of Fine Arts (255
Beach Drive East,.[727) 896-
2067). besigoed by architect
John Volk, the musewn is a
stately queen reigrung over a
waterfront park. Inside exists
a collection that includes
works by Georgia O'Keefe,
Oaude Monet, Robert Henri
and photographer Aaron
Siskind. While not as large as
the Metropolitan Museum of
Art or the Getty, the size of
this museum is part of its
charm. You can get a full
afternoon of quality art with-
out feeling like you've been
overwhelmed.
While you're on Beach
Drive, skip the over-touristy
Pier in favor of lunch or
deiSert at Marchand's Bar and
Grill inside the {lenaissance
Vinoy Resort and Golf Oub
(501 5th Ave. Northeast. [727)
898-4264). The pink-towered
Vlnoy was built in 1925,
became an Anny Air Corps
training facility ln the '40s and
reopened as a hotel in 1945. In
1992, it went through a reno-
vation that d.ld nothing but

improve its classic Aorida
architecture.
The quietly elegant
Marchand's is a little pricey,
but it's a great place to sit and
imagine you're in a time gone
by as you sip your syrah. Sit
by the window and wP.tch the
yachts in the municipal man-
na bob with the currents.
By another marina, a little
outside the downtown area, is
St. Pete's premier attraction -
the Salvador D~ Museum
(1000 3rd St. South, (727) 823-
3767). The Dali, as it is known,
was started 20 yean ago from
the collection of A. Reynolds
and Eleanor R. Morse. It hous-
es some of the surrealist
painter's most complex mas-
terpieces, including "The
Hallucinogenic Toreador· and
·01scoveryof America.•
Through June 8, it will also
house both "The Persistence
of Memory," on loan from the
Metropolitan Museum of Art,
and "The Disintegration of the
Persistence of Memory" from
its permanent collection. It is
the first time these two works
have ever been shown side by side. Clocks will never look
the same again.

So you're one of those
people who loves the
thJill of wind in your
face while ca.scad.Ing down
a steep incline of white
powdery bliss. Just
because you live In sunny
ON THE
SLOPES
Sou them
California
doesn't
mean you
have to
make a pil-
grimage to Colorado or
Washington to make that
thrill a reality. Several
local resorts offer ample
snow for boarders and
skiers alike.
Mountain High in
Wrightwood is just a 7 5-
mil}ute drive up Interstate
t 5. Although skiers will
seriously be in the minon-
ty here, all are welcome.
The 1,600-foot vertical rise
and the 220 acres of ski-
able area make this the
highest vertical of the locdl
resorts.
Sure, the snow hasn't
been all that great Uus
season, but that is no prob-
lem when you're dealmg
with a mountain that has
snow makers covenng
95% of the hill.
The snowboard park
offers rails, fun boxes and
jumps for those who dre
just starting to catch dU
and those who are !>ed-
soned veterdns.
Lift tickets are less than
$40, and 11 you s top by any
Ralphs supermarket you
can get a ticket for $29.
Another local stop is the
ever-popular Snow Sum-
rrut. To all you jibbers out
there, ttus is the place to
go. The park was voted
the best 111 North America
by nansworld Snowboani-
ing magazine. With four
half pipes, this is definitely
the plac~ for all you shred-
ders to be.
A.bout a two-hour drive
and in Big Bear Lake.
Summit is a lot more
scenic than Mountain
Higl). The drive up there is
a long and winding road,
so people who tend to get
carsick should bewd.Ie.
The snow coverage up
there 1s pretty good right
now, and the snow-mak-
ing machines are working
overtime. The vertical is
dbout 1,200 feet, and the
sluable area JS roughly the
same dS Mountain High at
230 acres The longest run
offered 1s Westndge,
which 1s just more than a
mi.le.
Ltfl llckets at Snow
Summit dre between $30
and $40 for a full day
lf you're willing to drive
d little fdrther and stay for
more lhdn d ddy, the best
place to go is Mammoth
Mountc1.1n m Mammoth
Lakes. The SLJ(·hour drive
1s worth 1t for those who
love to hit the slopes.
The mountain l.Jves up
to its name with a vertical
of 3, 100 feet and a skiable
,. drea of more than 3,500
acres. Th.is is d big-time
resort, folks. For you older
people, this place usually
has a lot more skiers than
the hrst two resorts.
The conditions dre
incredible most of the
tune, with Wts all over the
mountam Although Wt
tickets a.re almost $60 a
day, Mammoth IS worth
the pnce
All three resorts offer
eqwpment rentals and
lessons. See you on the
mountain
