If you have the yard to handle a group, outside games are the best of all. Shu.Oleboard, croquet, horseshoes and lawn KAREN WIGHT bowling are outdoor games that have been popular for generadons. These games reward concentration, not brute strength. So if you have a teenager who can out-muscle you, try these diversions on for size. Growing up, my family had a shufDeboard court in our bac,kyard. It was one of the. few games that the entire family could rally around It was next to the groovy lava-rod fire pit ... which was close to the hot tub. We had that '60s Rat Pack vibe going on. Shuffieboard began in England during the 1400s and was conskJered entertainment for royalty. That works for me. The game is played on a smooth, 6at surface with two teams of two players or two individuals. We liked to play in teams because you could always blame your sibling for losing the game. A shuftleboard court Is 52 feet long and 6 feet wide. you push disks Cwhkh are no more than 6 inches wide) with long rues down the court to score points. You can also use the rues for jousting. which makes moms mad but explains some of the heritage. We have friends who have a shuffieboard court that takes the game to a new level of cool. There are stone benches on both ends of the court, whlch makes for a very civilized atmosphere between turns. Overhead are two strands of industrial Ughts that illuminate the entire court for ~ning games. ~ The far side of the court IS bordered by a beautiful garden. and the overhanging trees are laced with fairy Ughts that create massive mojo. It really Is sptctacular. Horseshoes Is another lawn game that spans the generations. A reguladon horseshoe pitch is 6 feet wide and 50 feet long.

"I thin.It it's more the historical thJngs than the current culture," said John. referring to what pulled them back to the cow1try in late September. "It's good to see a Muslim country that's a modem Muslim country. We see that almost everywhere we cravel. The people are quite Americanized."

EDITORIALS Costa Mesa must . . . . uphold its RV law C osta Mesa Police officials began punishing violators of the city's new recreational vehicle law last week, and already, some RV owners are complaining. If it sounds familiar, it should. The City Council began di$cussing the new rules for the vehicles in December and, after months of working with residents and' RV owners, didn't finalize the law until August. Now, nearly a. year later, the city has begun enforcing the law, only to draw complaints fro m the same people who helped draft it. City officials and council members worked long and hard on the new law that, at the time, won over a vast majority of people. As a result, unless there are major problems, the city m ust stick to its law. Compromises were already made. Laws are no t made to appease those who break them. RV owners this week complained that the new law is too strict and that the city has yet to set up a hotline to handle requests for 24-hour parking extensions. The city should set the hotline up as promised; however RV owners need to work on their own habits to ensure they don't violate the law. Som e owners have begun parking their RVs along the Costa Mesa border in Newport Beach. That habit, too, needs to be broke n, because Newport Beach officials won't ptn: up with it for long. RV owners now plan to go to the next City Council, which will have All an Mansoor instead of Mayor Linda Dixon, to ask that the law be amended . It is like they are ch ildren playing Mom against Dad and vice versa. Rig owners simply need to do something else: abide by the law. It's new and it's going to take time to get used to. Do you think smokers stopped smoking cigarettes in bars immediately in January 1998? No, it took awhile -after some legal crackdown. And the new City Council - Mansoor included -must uphold this law. Otherwise, it's breaking its own Law and undermining its own authority. Ch ina trip could open doors for business T he itinerary sounds exciting: Beijing, Hangzhou, Suzhou and Shan ghai in Olina. But a trip being taken now by business leaders from Newport Beach is about far more than sightseeing. For the past week, 130 business people from Newport Beach have been in the Communist country, working on ways to develop business relationships that can increase trade between the city and China. They had plans to meet with Beijing's deputy mayor, Chinese business leaders and several high-ranking Olinese government officials, including members of the country's Administration of Foreign Trade and Economic Corporation. The trip, pitched by Newport Coast businessman Leo Liu and sponsored by the Newport Beach Olamber of Commerce, is an example of the kind of aggressive efforts that make businesses succeed. Making connections early with business people there -the country is slowly, and most hope surely, opening itself to more trade with Western nations -would appear to be a smart, thol;lgh not sure, way of getting in the door early. Cllina may at first not seem like a natural business partner for Newport Beach. But Newport's location on the West Coast makes any Asian country a natural market and partner for a variety of business deals. Olina should be no exception (and other countries also deserve similar missions). Of course, there is debate about how and whether America -via its citizens and its businesses -should be engaging Olina. In the simplified version, one side argues that introducing American culture, including its ideals and principles, will cajole Olina toward democracy. The other says that only by keeping Cllina isolated will it be forced eventually to abandon its Marxist system. While that debate is continuing, it is clearly in Newport Beach's best interest to expand its m arket and find new places from which to draw vJsitors. It will be interesdng to b ear what the delegation has to report upon its return. THE LAST WORD Ready to blame El Nino Nt.no. 'Ibo much cream in your coffee, Pl NtAo.

He went to counciJ meetings. He drummed up press coverage. And. in a slight victory, he and others got the city to relax the "blade ball" restrictions slightly. . Sharp's dedication to opening Newport's breaks came from his years of surfing up and down the city. Strangely enough. however. he didn\ stan at Newport's conaibution to big·wave wfing -the Wedge. He swfed Newport for five or six years before going ou1 at the very tip of the Balboa Peninsula. where an unnatural bit of human engineering has created a swirling bacicwa.sh of a wave that can break 15 to 20 fl"et on a strong south ,well. I le'd surfed the famous Pipelme in Hawaii before venturing O\Jt there. back when the Wedge crew was a tighter, more unfnt>ndly group that i1 is today. I le was heckled I le was abused It took a long time, Sharp recalb, a .,mile twisting up h1~ face as ht-laugru,. to break in there. Still. it was clear he would l.'Vl.>ntually make his way out there. "I always had an affinity for bi.g waves." BANKING ON BIG WAVES ll was an affinlty that would not be satisfied by the Wedge or a spot just off the Newport Pier. called the Newport Pomt. that breaks rarely. ll would take much. much more. ln perhaps the most audacious surf adventure since surfers wandered into remote comers of Central America and Indonesia. Shatp and a handful of other <;t.ttfers piloted a boat 100 miles off the coast from San Diego to a spot. the Cortes Bank. where the ocean floor juts almost to the surface. Sharp had been <;<:outing the spot for a decade. since back when the biggest waves there '-''l're unridable. F..mergmg from the open ocean. they simply were too fast for surfers to paddle into. Even wor:.e. ""sneak.er sets" -extra large waves breaking out beyond the usual monsters -were impossible to avoid But the '90s were witness to revolutions In the sport. The most dramatic was tow-in surfing, where surfers are pulled behind jet skis and tJung into the massive waves. Jt changed the limitations on wave siz.e. ~1 knew the tow surfing thing wouki be really important to swfing," Sharp says. pointing out in his detailed manner that. since the invention of the ~finned duuster surlboard more than 20 yeen ago. little about sur1boarda bu dlanged.

Another wa.s swf forecasq whkb bu evolved from rumor and word-of-mouth Into a sdenoe of worldwide stonn watching that can differentiate between weaker swells and the long-period waves that break the bisgest.

"What Bill did was. in a sport of 'men who ride motmtains,' Bill created Mt Everest." George says. "He pul a number to the size. He single-handedly changed the scale of how surfers measure big waves." It was also a concept that the mainstream media -not to mention mainstream Amen ca -could easily grasp.

Then Sept I l. 200 I. happened. and the magazine"s ad contracts dried up. turning what he'd fore-.een as a hard quaner into a time to pul Surf News on hiatus.

OUT OF HARM'S WAY The project. and Sharp himself. are not without critics. His consistent. successful promotion -he"s been part of the surf mdustry for 20 years now -has brought him some enemies. And since the original K2 challenge. there have been concerns that a big-wave contest would result in a rurfer's death.

It's the edge which Is the subject here, and I continue to wonder when someone will take a look at the playoffs system and realize there Is a limit to the "baJanced" field, as in home teams. The system is such that once you get past the first round, champions are given no preference in terms of home sites, it's just a matter of who was home in ._____..........._ __ _, the first round, or if ROGER CARLSON both teams were home, or away, a coin rup determines the ho t school. One can argue that if you're good enough, you should be able to play anfWbere and win. And that's true. Here's the basic scenario. Each league's No. l entry Is assured a home game in the first round, and No. 2 entries are pitted against one another with a coin flip determining the home team. and the No. 3 entries are on the road against those No. l teams. After that, home teams are determined either by who has been on the road the least, or by coin O.ip if all thinp are equal. And this ls the rub. the following rounds: Tuams who managed to get into the playoffs through the back door, as in an at-large team (.No. 16 to round out the bracket. or a "third-place" team} are given preference over a champion. and it's faithful, which deser.-es recognition for lls accomplishments. Ca,,e(s) in point: • Newpon Harbor's Sea View League champion girls volleyball team. the Division ll·M's No. I seed. was on the road Saturday night. at Cathedral City, a team which was second in its league and slipped into the second round with a five-game win at la Mirada. • C.Orona del Mar HJgh's girls tennis team, seeded No. 3 in Division I, was at the No. 3 team from the Sea View League, Aliso Niguel Saturday morning.
