The company was m lme for a one-year contract, according to Mike Tope, the supef'Vl.SOr of the Orange Coast Oistnct, which includes the park. In the heat of competition, a sec- ond firm challenged Scaife's appli- cation as incomplete. Upon review, the claim by Secunty Protection Management turned out to be valid, Tope said.

As you guessed, mine was an arranged marriage when I was 2 years old. That's the only way to explain how I could be married so long and still feel like I am 30. Don't you ever wonder why some peo- ple stay married for so long when others · call it quits within weeks of their wedding vows? My friend went to some classes on mar- Goy Geiser- Sandovol · EDUCATIONALLY SPEAKING riage and found out that to ensure a strong marriage, the family should go camping together. The re is some- thing about camping that can't be gained from other expenences. My daughter, who read •What Is a Nation." suggested that the reason camping works is that it creates a tie that binds people together. That tie is •common suffering." Camping acts as a glue to keep couples focused, just as a war does to keep a nation focused. By sharing their common suffering, families or nations can relate better to each other. Noting our camping trips tend to have a lot of suffering, much of it shared, she said that must be the secret. I don't know if her theory is true, but we always go camping at least once a year. We even honey- mooned in a pup tent in this keen place called Desolation Valley. I thought the secret to our lasting marriage was compatibility. My husband and I had so much in com- mon to start with and, over the years, we have added more. I decided to test my theory by listing just what we had in common. If my husband and I met at a party today and didn't know each other, would we be able to recognize our instant compatibility? The answer is yes and no. For instance, we have both been mar- rled for 28 years, have two daugh - ters that are the same ages, live in a house in the same city and same n~ighborhood, with the same deco- rations and furnitu re. We drive the same cars and go to the same vacation spots. But, most of that happened because my husband is willing to go along with my sug- gestions. We do eat the same kind of food at borne, but that is because my husband will eat any- tlllng. as long as be can top it with chilies. As my compatibility theory seemed to be going up in flames, my daughter reminded me that we both like to go to movies. But, alas, he likes action movies with blood, car crashes and special effects, wti,ich is the k.isi of death for me. I llke~king movies, preferably with subtitles.

One shouldn't expect other- wise from a man who is under criminal investigation and has publldy made less than tactlul statements about certain •class- es" of people living in his city. Can Steel explain how this ordinance would add to the Police Department's burden? Can he think at all? If anything. this ordinance would alleviate the burden of the Police Department if or when the set?mingly docile elephant giving rides or parading in the circus decides to run amok. Yes, this happens. Forget about the moral and ethical concerns regarding wild animal exhibits. Steel could not possibly comprehend anything of the sort. For the rest of us, captur- ing wild animals from their native lands, beating them into subrrus- sion and toting them around m boxcars 50 weeks a year to per- form stupid tricks for our amuse- ment is abominable.

Brasda, who replaces Bob Kraft from the Newport Beach amatew field as Hahn's partner, is a 1-handlcap goUer who won his first Newport Beach men'• dub title ln early June. Hemphill, who replaces amateur Chris Veitch ln the Jones Cup for Santa Ana, also won his first club title thia year.

In last year's Jones Cup tbrlller, Sargent won lt for Mesa Verde with a jaw-dropping flop shot from the deep rough to the right of the 18th green. After python putts and dup-ins for bi.rdJes by Sargent and hosting bead pro Hahn, it came down to one big flop. Sargent's ball was buried ln the rough, requiring rules official Jeny Anderson. President of Newport Beach Country Club, to check if the ball was embedded and poss1bly stepped on by a member of the gallery (it wasn't). Sargent executed one of golf's toughest shots to near perfection, flopping onto the edge of the 9Jeen and rolling two feet to the Oag. setting up an easy birdie putt as Mesa Verde captured Jones Cup I before an estimated 300 fans. Along with his 18th-bole dramatics, Sargent drained a 60-foot birdie putt on No. 2 and a SO. footer on No. 16, which tied Newport Beach for the lead in a tightly contested Jones CUp.
