You can look for tblngs. You can watch the waves, get a tan, walk the dog, or my personal favorite, lay there like a beached whale. But if the beach ls a beach ln Newport Beach, you may not, repeat, not. at any time, for any reason, smoke. Along with San Oemente, PETER Huntington BUFFA Beach and Santa Monica, Newport Beach is one of the growing list of ' California cities that have said that until further notice, there will be no butts on the beach. In November 2003, Solana Beach, which is next door to Del Mar, was the first city in California to outlaw sand smoking. Ironically, Del Mar was where the very first attempt to ban smoking on a beach was made, ln a local ballot initiative .that was soundly defeated. That was way back In 1987. But the winds of politics. and smoke. have changed a lot since then. There have been a number of attempts ln Sacramento at a statewide ban on beach smoking. the latest in June of this year, but none have passed. The margin of defeat is getting smaller and smaller, though. and I suspect we'll see one enacted within a year or so. In Newport Beach, puffers can still puff ln parking lots, but once the new law takes effect, If you've got the wind ln your hair, the sand beneath your toes and a smoke In your hand, you are toast. Are Newport Beach police golns to be chasing down smokers and running them to ground with nets and Taser guns? Umm, no. The city is hoping that people will honor the smoking ban once the word gets out and the signs go up, and that police and lifeguards will intercede only In cases where someone is being extreme, obnoxious, or extremely obnoxious.

EDUCATION OCC enrollment climbing despite price hike Enrollment at Orange Coast College is up and so are the number of classes being offered and student fees. State budget cuts forced community colleges to raise their per-unit fee from $18 to $26. OCC is offering about 5% more classes than last fall, but enrollment is up nearly as much, meaning many students are still not getting some classes they need to take.

BANl(eRO EDITORIALS Church practicing what they prea~h P eJhap9 one thing is a given about faith. "The one unifying factor In aD religion la d.lvlllvenesa," said Rabbi Mm Miller of Temple Bat Yam, a reform tempJe in Newport Beach. The freedom to make that divide, engrained in our own CoNdtudoo. is very much a part of why we feel that St James Otwdl in Newport Beach bas a dgbt. with lta refractory stance tow.mi the P.placopal church. to break from It St James Pastor Praveen Bunyan and his ftock of 1.200 congregants broke away last month when they removed "Episcopar from the chun:b's name, parted ways from P.piscopal Diocese or Los Angeles and the P.pisoopal Omrch USA and took harbor with the Diocese of Luweero ln the Anglican Province of Uganda. Africa. SL James administrators and congregants overwhelmlngty voted to break away, dttog the Episcopal Omrch's refusal to acknowledge Jesus Ouist and the Bible as the only way to salvadon. All Saints' Onirch in Long Beach and SL David's of North Hollywood joined St James in the exodus, which has riled Episcopal dlurch governors and surprised local chun:h officials in the diocese. Bishop J. Jon Bruno of the Los Angeles Diocese refused to release the three churches. a prohibition supported by U.S. dlocese Presiding Bishop Frank T. Griswold But the decision isn' theirs. While the ~ue or who OWM the church land and other belonglnwl may be a matter tor a court to dedde, Cbe ._. of what to beUew ii w:h pll'IOl1'a to make. , It was Ammica. after all, that wu a refuge for tboee tleemg rellgbll penecudon in Europe In the 17th century.

Most notably. though St James opposed the P.piscopal Church's appointment of an openJy gay bishop, Bunyan said the break was not because of a liberal attitude on homosexuality. We hope DOl We also hope he makes sure that the minority in his church, who did not vote for a break. are not alienated. and that any gay members of bis church also are not pushed to a fringe. 'Underutilized' land? Nope, not even close W ebster New World Dictionary tells us that "underutilized" means to utilize too Utt1e or inefficientJy. So the description of the Orange County Fairgrounds as an example of ~underutlllr.ed or surplus property" in the Calif omia Performance Review, commissioned by Gov. Arnold Schwan.enegger, jll3t doesn't fly. The report suggested that the state could bank as much as $230 million by seUlng the 150-acre site for d~lopment The ma.in problem with that idea? The grounds are far from underutilized. They shouJd not be sold. There is something going on at the Orange County Fairgrounds 365 days a yeac, director of events services Mark Botner said. There are more than 100 different recurring events that take placel.139 times a year. There are so many simultaneous events that when asked how many days a year events are taking place on the fairgrounds the director of communications, Usa MacDonald, will very seriously tell you 851 days plWI 288 days worth or kids programs. There are 4.3 million vislton to the raJ.rgrounda each year. Between 20,000 and 50,000 people visl\ed the Oranp County Fair each day It was open this summer during ltt month-long run. And hundreds vlsJt the Orange County Marketplace Saturday and Sunday, except the three weekends when the fair is in town. There is a farmer's ma.rbt on Thursday mornings that draws a much smaller crowd than it should considering the quality of the produce and other products. Hundreds of children are served through the 4-H program and the Youth Expo. There are car show and trade shows that feature everything from home dkor to guns, to reptiles or scrapboold.ng. There are demoUdon dablet, pet expos, senior expos and motor sports events. Centennial Parma Is one or the few places in Orange County where livestock ls kept.

THE BIG EASY Don't expect ·any quick solutions for Eagles, Mesa T his ongoing story of Costa Mesa. and F.stancia. high school coaches and their athletes and the problems they endure with the Newport-Mesa Unified School District. as well as the city of Costa Mesa's involvement, takes on hemophiliac tendencies. It just keeps bleeding. And chances are it's not going to stop, although I see a faint ray of hope in the form of Costa Mesa resident Mad: Gleason, who has surfaced with uncommon insight ROGER and mow-how. CARLSON What began as a dilemma in Costa Mesa over the lack of playing fields and gymnasiums, wQl.ch seemingtyfuund~meanswerswitha joint use agreement. has done nothing less than destroy a coaching system at the Costa Mesa High campus. which ftnds the Mustangs beglnn1ng the 2004-05 season with a new football coach, new bas.ketball coach. new baseball coach. new track and field coach and a new athletic director.

OCC's Le8ard Stadkln will open in two weeks. PIRATES Contiooed from B 1 bum more clock. The Pirate de- fense, which provided most of the hlgbllghts for the home team, whose campus stadium .. was unavailable due to renova- tions includi.og the installation of a synthetic playing surface, forced a punt that gave OCC the ball on its own 42 with 1:23 left. Sophomore q~aclc Kyte Buanez, who was benched early in the second half in favor of freshman Olad SchmJgel, was sacked to begin the final possession. But Buanez threw three straight completions for 5, 10 and 21 yards, the final connection to Ryan Lauder- dale. After a 6.nt-down spike stopped the clock with 15 sec- onds left, Baaanez threw just long to receivers ln the end zone on second and third down, then misfired down the middle u time ezplred. Buanez ftnlsbed 11 of 29 lor 144 passing yards, accounting for the bullc of tlte Pirates' 197 yards of total ofreme. Counting the 31-yard back- ward punt snap, which sailed over punter Brian Campos' head, forcing him to retreat to recover the boundi.og ball and be tackled by defenders, OCC manqed only 18 yards on the ground on U attempts. Three aacb were included ln that total. algn•Hng a carryoveT from lut year, when the Pirates averaged just 78 rushing yards ln 10 games.. • lf OCCa offense continues to sttuggle, the Pirates may still be able to stay ln ga.ma. if their defense can sustain the level it achieved in the opening quar- ter Saturday. Sophomore tackle Ryan Da- vit, a returning second-team All-Mission Conference (American otvtiloD) perform.er, exploded into the spotlight early. He was ln on two tackles that resulted in 2-yard losses on Glendale's 6.nt three offen- sive plays, then participated in two sacks before the 6.nt quar- ter oplred. The Pirates sacked McDenlel seven times for 40 yarda ln losses, twice forcing him to fumble, recovering both times to account for the Vaqs two turnovers. Sophomore outalde line- backer' Joe Mitchell, another second-team all-conference re- turner, shared one aaclc and combined on another 2-yard losa. He allO recovered the sec- ond McDaniel fumble to bait a drive at the OCC 23.

Adam ICleckner, who also booted a 28-yud 8e1d goal to pull OCC to wltbln 10-3, kicked the convenlon to give occ its flrlt lead wlth 8:18 left ln the third quarter. OCC forged a halftime tie when sophomore taJ1bact Rob- ert Aoki scored on a 22-yud screen pus keyed by a down- fteld bJoclc by guard Blab Sor- ber. But OCC couldn't bold the lead, extending its loalng streak to five and allowlng Glendale (2-8 in 2003) to halt Its losing streak at three.

The new lure glvea off actual acoustical sounds that are emitted by frightened baitflsh and Sevenatrand engineers incorporated this same resonance into a computer chip and desJgned a big fishing lure around the unit. According to the specs the lure attracts blllfisb from meters around when trolled off the stem of a sportfisher. The cosl of an EAL No. 7 is $249, a smaller version lists for $199 and batteries, lasting for six to eight hours, sell for $10. Many local anglers are hearing abQut the lure, so J.D. at J.O.'s Big Game Tackle on Balboa lsJand is renting EAL lures by the day. For more de1ails on this lure or for an update on fishing conditions in the channel call would cost t~uch 10 lave up to the bargain, as in tending to the fields. The city of Costa Mesa. meanwhile. uses the fields and does little ln upkeep. Could II be wor..c? It is. Even if the cily opted to release the high schools, nothing can take effect for al leai.1 two years if the school district d~ not agree, according 10 the coUaborative agreement of July l, 2002.
