If the father in question is a goller, as many are, the temptation lo buy goll equipment can be over- whelming. Resist it, with the one exception of golf balls.

Keep the platinum card in your wallet though, and leave the major purchases to him. If he's a true collector, he'll appreciate anything, however modest.

Not only were supporters able }to raise a necessary $1 million toward it, but both the Newport Beach City Council and the New- port-Mesa Unified School District approved the project at their respective meetings last week. With the $1 million raised, the project now becomes eligible to qualify for another $2 million from the state. That way, the $3- million and about 15,000-square- foot library will become a reality for both the oty and Mariners Elementary School. But the fund-raisers probably wouldn't have made the Friday deadline were it not for the gen- erosity of John and Donna Cre- an, who chipped in half the grand total. The Creans also led the way last month in raising about $400,000 for Children's Hospital of Orange County through the CHOC Follies adja- cent to the Orange County Per· forming Arts Center. Of course, it also helped that local political legend Marian Bergeson was able to lend her support to the cause. During the fund-raising effort, some parents, too, did their part in raising security concerns regarding the section that would used by Mariners' students. The fear that uninvited adults would make their way into the chil- dren's section during the day. But organizers and city arid school officials pointed out that a roll- down door would separate the children's section fonn the rest of the library. Throughout the process, city and school officials answered the concerns of those parents and, as a result, the project has become that much better. We applaud all of those uivolved in making the project betterandforbringingitso much closer to reality. We also applaud City Manager Homer Bludau for taking the extra to answer the concerned parents, personally writing e-mails to tt>ose with fears. Uthe state, for whatever rea- son, decides not to fund the pro- ject, we hope that everyone part- ners up to raise the remaining necessary money. After all, every- one has put this much time and effort into it and we would hate to see that go for naught. Boy Scout Sea Base deserves to expand H ow does that saying go? Don't mess with baseball, mom, apple pie and the Boy Scouts? Well, maybe that's not exactly how it goes, but In Newport Beach that's just about how it should go in regard to the Boy Scout Sea Base on Newport Harbor. The sea base, built in 1937, meshes perfectly with the nauti- cal history and flavor of New- port Harbor and the many yachtsman who call this bay home. The facthl.les, which haven't bee n remodeled since 1980, are due for an overhaul. So about four years ago, the Scouts embarked on a $4.5-million expansion that would eliminate the two existing structures and replace them with a 31- foot-high, 22,000-square-foot building. But with those plans came a hitch. California Coastal Commis- sion officials raised concerns about the size of the base and the ba yfront views that would be lost from West Coast High- way. The officials say the bajld- ing would decrease views by 20% on the highway. With that in mind, the paid commission staff was able to dry-dock the plans in February, but that effort was thwarted Tuesday when the appoirlted coastal commission members voted 7 to 1 to override the staff concerns and approve the base expansion. That approval means the extra classrooms, better quarters and double the number of Scouts served, which is 30,000 now, is now full steam ahead. No one denies that the com- mission should be looking out for the best interest of the peo- ple in this state when it comes to ocean views and harbor vistas. But denying a 20,000-square- foot Boy Scout Sea Base could hardly be irl the best interest of anyone. We're glad that the commissioners saw this and overturned the recommendation of the staff. Here's hoping now the sea base planners will get a good wind under their sails.

WELCOME DAVE.II ., Daily Pilot Support groups in Costa Mesa... · Residents divide on firework permits AT ISSUE: After June 9 wedding celebration catches some off guard, Newport Beach officials will revisit permit issue. T he fireworks on Sunday, although they came as a complete·surprise, were delightful to see (Newport fire- works display surprises resi- dents," Tuesday). Please. as a city, do not even consider curtailing future festivt· ties of this kind that are so uplift- irlg to all who view them. MARGIE AND MART HUBBARD Corona del Mar Whoever the person is who issued the pennit at Newport Beach for the fireworks show at Pelican Hill late Sunday night should be terminated. The 9:45 p.rn. was entirely too late. For the benefit of few, many Corona del Mar, Balboa Island and Newport Beach residents had to endure the noise. It was past bedtime for many. Police were inundated with calls. Makes you suspect the possi- bility of Irvine Co. under prefer- ential treatment. Please reduce dty expenses by firing the indi· vidual responsible. BtLL DAVENPORT Corona del Mar The fireworks were absolutely spectacular from Crab Pointe on Uttle Balboa Island as l walked my dog on Sunday evening. Sev- eral other walkers stopped to enjoy the beautiful show and wondered what was being cele- brating. Please do not let the complaints of a few detennine city policy. Cer· tainly, if the weddJng party can afford the necessary technicol Uliltance and applied for a d ty pennit (whlcb was comldered on an individual basil), they were entitled to have their tndUlgent fun.

DAVID SCOTT Newport Beach When the fireworks went off, I thought it was great. My kids were there and it was a free show and they were beautiful. We were as close to where they were going off as anyone and although they were quite loud they were some of the best I've seen. I sure don't want the dty to stop issuing permits. DAVE CLAPP Pelican Point It was exceptionally loud. I don't think that's necessary and it frightened children ln the area. J am ln the Corona del Mar area and lt was very frightening, sud· den and exceptionally loud and unnecessary.

I live in Corona del Mar, in Cameo Shores, and It is not only noise pollution I'm objecting to, it is the pollution of our tide.pools. Off shore we have designated marine life refuge and if we have to experience these fireworks dis- plays throughout the year, I think tt is absolutely ludicrous. ALICE CULVER Corona del Mar My wife and I love fireworks and hope the city continues to issue pennits for those people wishing to use safe and sane fireworks. We're also terribly disappoint- ed, living on Balboa Island, to apparently have the Newport Dunes Waterfront Resort's fire· works no longer. It would seem to us that someone could lead the charge to collect donations from the public to help fund the insurance cost so the citizens can enjoy the fireworks display, especially this year, on the Fourth of J uly. We would be happy to contribute if someone starts a collection. TOM HOUSTON Balboa llland l was in the article on the fire. works display. But the reporter didn't mention something else that I thought wu extremely important and that wu the undersee life that comes from these barges that bad tb8le fire- works.

Crystal Cove Lifeguard Supervisor Ken Kramer will do the best with the finances h e's dealt this summer season BIO Name: Ken Kramer Age: 39 Position: Crystal Cove lifeguard supervisor, been at the cove off and on since 1985 Residence: Corona del Mar for six years Educat.ion: Saddleback Community College, Golden West College Police Academy Family: Wife of five years Vicki, children Evan and Grace Hobbies: Diving; playing w ith his kids FYI HERE ARE A FEW TIPS FROM KEN KRAMER FOR ENJOYING A SAFE SUMMER AT THE BEACH: •Don't swim without a lifeguard nearby, so swim near a lifeguard tower (the closer the better, especially with children). • Know where the life- guards are. • Swim with a buddy. • Be aware of your swim- ming limitations. • Be informed before heading into the water - consult a lifeguard to find out the condit ions. • Direct supervision by an adult. • Swim in only your swim clothing, because wet clothing weighs you down • Know where hazards such as rocks are • If using a flotation device, wear fins and a leash. If in t rouble, don't stop using it. It's great defense. Also, people with such devices often stray out too far. Stay close and stay on it. • If caught in a riptide, avoid panic: HConsciousty force yourself to relax; take deep breaths; it's easy to say but hard to do. If they're in a riptide, stay afloat. A rip current does· n't pull you under. If peo- ple can get away from th~ mind·set, it's easier to relax. A rip current will putt strong for a little while and then dissipate in ener- gy as you get further out to sea, to the head of the rip. Tread water and swim parallel to shore. If they have the ability to signal for assistance, of course they can do that. But once you're in that HI need help, H it's hard. Very few drowning victims signal for help. They're too busy drowning to be yelling or screaming or throwing their arms up in the air. H C ryslal Cove Sta.le Park is · one of the very few areas along the Orange County coastline that remains pristine and uncrowded . How- ever, since the residents of the 46 Crystal Cove cottages left in July, the beaches have attracted more visitors. On Wednesday, Ken Kramer, lifeguard supervisor and long- time lifeguard, drove City Editor James Meier around the park. The four began al the Crystal Cove Visitor's Center. What do you do exactly? Typ1<dUy, my dulles include j ust bdste pdlrol of the stdte park both from dn dquatic safety standpoint on the b<.•dch -looking (or anybody that's l'ngaged m water-contact dCtJviltl'5, which Cdn include boating, dJV1nq, 'iurting, swimming, wading, people out at lhe tide pools -and our ftr'>l dnd foremost goaJ to make sure everyone's safe. Because I wear a ltfcgudrd patch, everything else takes d h<lck seat to somebody who mJght be m danger m the water. And the other thing I do here 1s look for other park-related issues lhdt elf{' of concern. Law enforcement issues, such as alcohol or narcotics or any othN 1Uegal acllv1ty.

And we're reaUy lucky to have our new partners down here now that the majority of the park IS part of Newport Beach. We've had a start of a really great relationship with the Newport Beach Police Department, llJe- guards and fire, and we've esldb- hshed really great protocols now for work.mg a lund of a seamless approach to any issu es. So what are we dolng nowl We'll patrol around here and take a look at anything that's out or the ordinary and get out and talk to peo· pie. That's the best part of the job. Everyone comes here, and they're pretty happy. They're happy to be off, they're happy to be here as opposed to being at work or being cooped up. And we talk to some real ' wonderful people. There's a real change in the flavor of the v1s1tors to the state park here now. Where we used to see a lot ot locals who w ould park in one area and come down the ramp or the Ken Kramer points out ships to his son, Evan. stairs and sit there, wf> now hdvc• everybody spreading out daily. boundary to boundary. dnd we n·ally have a diverse group coming tWlt(,\', There's d lot of peoplC' who huv(• English as a second ldngudg(•, out- of-state and out-of-country peoplP coming tlown, espec1c11ly with Mc1r- riott's llme share so dose.

Steve Virgen DAILY PILOT COSTA MESA • The Costa Mesa American Little League Ya nkees could be ~est described as oppor- tunistic m their quest to claim the CMALL Majors championship. T hey pounced on the chance to become the champions, defeating the Tigers, the CMALL Majors favorite, 10-6, in a winner· take-all contest that ended a three-game championship series at Costa Mesa High Saturday morning. The Yankees, who won two after losing the first of the championship senes, scored eight runs in the second uming and held on for the win. The Tlgers (14·8), who had the best record overall in the league, were 4-2 m games against the Yankees during the regular season. But, the Yankees won the first hall of league play and finished the season strong, taking second in the second hall. Under the new league rules, the champion is determined by the team which wins both halves of the season. Since, the Yankees won the first half, that gave them the right to play in a three-game championship series against the llge.rs, who won the second half of league competition.
