FAIRGROUNDS-Tiie "Red, Ripe and Rock·
in" Orange C.Ounty Fair came in like a spicy
salsa, but couldn't quite rival the robust results
of last year's fair, experiencing a d ecrease in at-
tendance and revenue and a sour aftertaste
fro m faulty rides.
The fair was extended from 17 to 21 days this
year to provide patrons a less crowded setting.
but the longer run did not translate into more
profit. President Bee~ Bailey-Findley said.
FYI
Fair attendance
dropped 2% -o r
16,601 patrons. The
fair rested 21 days
this year end
brought in 881,596
visitors. La st year,
898, 197 attended a
17-day fair.
Tile financial picture
hasn't completely geUed
yet, but officials are ho p·
ing to reach their goal or
breaking even, she said .
Last year, the fair made
about $3 million in
profit, Bailey-Findley
said. One indication
shows they might not
make that projection ,
she said.
The final fair attend-
ance slid 2% from last
year's record-breaking
numbers. The fairs at·
tendance suffered be-
cause of competition
from the World ~ries
Champion Anaheim An-
gels and the U.S. Open of Surfing in Hunting-
ton Beach, as weU as generaJ trends In outdoor
venues, Bailey-Findley said. ·
"l also th.ink that fair attendance and amuse-
m ent pad attendance. in tent\S of industry
trends, is down right now," Bailey· Ftndley said.
"So it may just be a factor of a larger trend.·
The fair hoped to seU 85% of the tickets to
the concerts at the newly opened Pacific Am·
phltheatre, but they only sold 64%, Bailey-Fin-
dley said Monday. In May, Bailey-FtndJey said
the fair planned to sell out the amphitheater
every night However, that doesn't take into ac-
count all the extra revenue souroes at the
amphitheater like food. beverage and mer·
chandise. she said.

SUMMER LEARNING
Gltchiii_g on
Beginning surf students in
Newport Beach ride some
waves while learning a little
about each other and the
environment
Deirdre Newman
Daily Pilot
S cott Morlan has had the same summer job
every year since 1973.
"Every morning, I have to go to the
beach." he joked.
Morlan has been teaching kids and adults how
to surf for the past three decades for the city of
Newport Beach. His passion for teaching the
sport never wanes.
"We have a great time together." said Morlan,
the head instructor. "This is a great job."
On Friday morning. 20 kids with bright-colored
surfboards dotted the ocean around the Newport
Pier, bobbing and weaving their way through the
waves. When they caught one, their grins were
practically as long as their surfboards.
"This particular class happens to be really
good," Morlan said. "They're particularly agile.
There are some veterans. They're an attentive,
sharp group of kids."
The beginners class also contained the
youngest kid Morlan has ever taught -6-year-old
Brendan Rafferty, whose board was more than
twice his siz.e. Even though the waves were fairly
flat Friday, Brendan managed to catch a few.
Morlan cheered him on.
Brendan's sister, Annie, said she took the class
after hearing about how much fun surfing was
from other kids at school
"l think the class is really good; I'm enjoying it a
lot." Annie, 11, said. •The teachers are really cool.
They make sure you understand the concept if
you're just not getting iL"
After students pass a swimming test, the goal
for the first day of surfing is to get the students
into the water and have them ride a wave to the
beach. Almost all of them succeeded
independently, Morlan said.
Then the ocean went flat. Morlan said, leaving
surfing contests as the only option.
*The whole point is just to make them have fun
and, in the process, they were catching wave after
wave and not thinking about it," he said.
Andrew Oary, 9, said he learned cool surfing
techniques like the coffin, when you lay down on
your board after catching a wave, and surfing
backward.
"l like surfing." Andrew said. "I want to be
better at iL" ·
SEAN DUFRENE /DAILY PILOT
Dylan Camey, 10, fr<:>m Pennsylvania, learns how to surf at the Newport Beach Pier.
In addition to learning surfing, the class also
fosters a sense of spirit among the surfers as they
patiently wait for the waves to come in. Many said
they enjoyed hanging out with their friends as
they waited while others enjoyed malcing new
friends.
Morlan said be has had a lot of return students,
such as a family from Fresno that comes back
practically every year.
Infusing his students with a sense of love for
the ocean comes naturally to Morlan, who surfs
as often as he can. He also imbues his students
with respect for the ocean and a disdain for
pollution.
·1 talk to the kids about It.· Morlan said. "When
they find plastic bags in the ocean, I tell them, 'Go
take it to the trash, and you'll be my
environmental hero for a day.'"
"The kids will gravitate toward each other even
not knowing them before," Morlan said.
ln the 30 years he has been teaching surfing.

'Mamma mia !' that's quite a
show
Regarding Tom Titus's Review of
"Mamma Mia" at the Orange County
Performing Arts Center ("'Mamma Mia!'
cooks up spicy show." Friday):
Tutus' tribute to "Mam.ma Mia!~ at the
Center Is well deserved. This is one of those
rare instances where the show lives up to
the bravo review.
Those who have attended so far would
probably agree that thls spectacular
performance equals anything seen on the
Broadway stage. Combined with the
remodeled South Coast Repertory and its
now three theaters: the patron gets the
feeling of a true "theater district."
With "Mamma Mia!" the Orange County
theater comes of age. Take that New York.
New York.
Is this show worth seeing'? Mamma rnia!

One injury should not quench
Fourth of July fireworks
I am truJy sorry that Costa Mesa City
Councilman Mike Scheafer's neighbor
was badly burned on the Fourth of July.
And I am truJy saddened because it has
inspired Scheafer to try to ban fireworks
from our city. I spend a lot of tlme on
Southern California freeways, whe re the
potential for tragedy is worse than alr
travel, and I was wondering if Scheafer
and his neighbor will stop driving their
cars to avoid potential accidents?
I agree completely with Olarlie
Massingill's response ln the Daily Pilot's
~Readers Respond" on Friday pointing
out that we aren't closing bars that sell
alcohol (that may contribute to drunk
drivers} or beaches where people drown. r
agree with Taylor Lobdell's response last
week in the Pilot that the Founh of July is
a favorite day in Costa Mesa.
My family and I have looked forward to
the Fourth every year sin ce moving here
15 years ago. We buy legal fireworks and
work with our children to set them off
responsibly, as do our neighbors. I urge
the City Council not to support the ban of
fireworks.

Geometry measures up better
than Smith thinks
Steve SmitP, who is, I'm sure, valued by
most Daily Pilot readers as a most
intelligent individual. loses 1his
qualification in denigrating the value of
geometry in the high school curriculum.
Smith claims that he has not had
occasion "to use geometry .. ~and has
not done so since Mrs. Patterson's

This claim of the non use of geometry
by Smith would probably be true were he
leading the Life of a hermit. Having read
his articles all these years. however. I'm
sure that he takes the time to look at his
globe, which shows the geometric angles
formed by the lines of latitude and

SOFTBALL ...
Pacific Coast Softball reaches two final fours . ·~ . -
Competing in three all -star tournaments, the
eight-and-under team from Newport-Mesa
wins four games an<f the hearts of many.
Padfic Coast Girls Fast pitch
Softball CPCGFS). an American
Softball Association (ASA)
organization that se rves girls 5-15 in
1he Newport-Costa Mesa area,
produced its best performance yet
during the June-July tournament
season.
ln just its second official season as
an ASA sanctioned league the PCGFS
8-and-under giils All-Star team
competed in three area tournaments
with promising results.
The first tournament was Tustin.
The girls made it to the final four of
this double elimination tournament
by defeating two other area teams.
Pitching was strong behind Lotte
Martin and Kirtland Gentry. The
infield of firi.t baseman Nicole
Werline. second baseman Taylor
Stefano, i.hortstop Shane4ua Watts,
third baseman Nikki Perrier. and
catcher Brooke Migliori, was solid.
Offensively. the standouts were
Stefano. Hattie Marshlill and Perri er.
Stefano a nd Marshall shared the
best balling average for the team at
this tournament, while Perrier
Jogged what should have been the
only home run, called a ground-rule
double due to some outfield
obstruction.
A solid left field performance by
Natalie Barbariese, with three deep
catches on the fly and multiple srnps,
kept opposing batters from taking
any advantage.
Ultimately. the tourney was won
by Irvine. which defeated Pacific
Coast in the first round by two runs.
The second tournament was in
Vista. Pacific Coast again made it to
the final four with impressive wins
over Oairmont and La Costa. With
one win to go to make it to the
Championship game, Pacific Coast
ran out of gas against Lake Elsinore.
Amazingly, the tournament winner
was Santee, who Pacific Coast lost to
in third round tournament play by
the same rwo-run margin as the
prior tournament.
The dub' hitting was again led by
Stefano who batted .677 for the
tournament, with 4 other girls
batting over .300. The on-base
percentage leader was Werline, wiLh
a .714 mark. Barbartese. Allyson
Nisbet, Mary Lyon and Kirsten
Rohan aJso had on-base percentages
worth mentioning, all flntstdng over
.500.
Paclttc Coast's defense was
superior in this tournament, logging
only 3 errors that resulted ln runs for
the entire tournament. Especially
strong play behind the plate from
MiglJori kept opposing scoring to a
minimum.
. Whlle Gentry and Martin carried
the bulk of the pitching load, Watts
also pitched 4 Innings and recorded
10 strikeouts. Martin, who pitched a
t9Jal of 11 innings in this
tournament, had 28 strikeouts.
In the end, it was a final-laning
three-run rally by Santee, ~t kept
Pacific Coast out of the
championship game.
The Orange County ASA
tournament, held this year in Coto
de Caza. had the girls performing
against the best teams in the area.
The 17 -team tournament gave the
girls a chance to see how the local
league could fair against teama that
might uhimately qualify for state and
national tournaments. The gjrls were
assigned a top seed in the flnt round
and played Tustin Gold.
Pacific Coast led Tustin 3-2 in the
fifth inning, but Tustin rallied for
three late runs to win the ballgame.
Pacific Coast's next game was
against West Garden Grove, which
prevailed 4· l.
"Though the final results of the
ASA tournament were somewhat of a
disappointment. the girls all bad a
great time and proved that
Newport-Costa Mesa area girl~
softball has now been ident16ed as a
formfdable competitor,~ Pacific
Coa'it Manager Brian Marshall said.
Until this year no PCGFS all-star
team has had more than 1 win in
tournament play during a spring
season. This year's 8-and-under
"Roadrunners," as they call
themselves. posted four wins and
two final four appearances.
·An encouraging sign of things to
come," one league official Mid.
