THE HARBOR COLUMN Just in time for the parade A hoy. --~--, background. Well, 1 did not miss the first night of the Newport Harbor Ouisunas Boat Parade. I mentioned in last week's column that I might. as I would be &kippering a private yacht back MIKE WHITEHEAD Many boat owners are invifin8 guests aboard to view the parade. and It is easy to neglect Ufejacket& You must a Ufejacket for each person aboard your boat, even children. For those who will have visiting to Newpon Harl>or from Ensenada on Wednesday. Luclc.ily. the seas were flattened by the offshore winds, and the swells dropped to help m e make a fast voyage up the coast. Once ~aln. when we crossed over into U.S. waters. we diverted to San Djego to request to be cleared by U.S. Customs. I find it interesting that we were the only boar that detoured for customs; two other yachts just kepi going north. So much for homeland security. We noticed an unusual number of military helicopters buzzing around San Diego's entnmce when we were approaching at noontime. and we soon discovered why. There was a submarine being escorted out to sea by naval security, and just inside the jetty entrance. we were allowed to pass by t.Qe ~bmarine very close. I noticed that the sub gives a strange radar image to what a vessel of that sire should display on the screen. While we waited for a customs officer, I noticed that the naval activity did not decrease after the sub's departure. Once again, we found out why: There was an SOO·foot plus LllO amphibious assault ship backing out near the sub station. What a huge vessel! There were lhree tractor tugs assisting the ship off its pier. NavaJ security was very h elpfuJ and allowed us 10 pass the ship on its port side as we beaded for the open ocean. I entered Newport a littJe after 6 p.m .. so I cruised by all the decorated boats lining up for the start of the parade whUe heading for the De Anza Marina. As I passed the Nau tical Museum, it was entertaining to watch the surprise of the skippers when they had to swerve to miss hitting the unlighted parade turning marker floating in the middle of the channel. A little hint ls to light the marker's wttite lights at dusk. especially as most boaters are not familiar with cruising at night and the m arlter's llttJe yeUow flashing light Is lost in the children but no lifejaclc.ets for them. you can borrow a childs llfejacket provided by the BoatUS's Oilld PDF Loaner Program. Simply stop by the Newport Harbor Patrol Office on Bayside Drive where you can borrow a Child's Ufejacket for the evening and then return it the next day. Now, you have no excuse. I recommend the children wear a lifejacket while on the boat and while on the docks. My weather prediction for the parade ls very promising. and I do not foresee any precipitation with the spectacular sunsets Keep ln mlnd that boaters can contact the parade officials on VHF marine radio's working channel 68.

June CaH crand• Daily Pilot NEWPORT-MESA -City offi· ciaJs are offering mixed reac- tionl! to Thursday'11 announce- m ent that the governor will invoke emergency powers to pay cities and counties for Jost car- tax doUars. But city leaders agree that local governments aren't out of the woods yet. Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger on Thursday announced that he would use emergency powers to pay cities and counties millions that they have lost in car tax rev- enues. The round of payments to lo· cal governments will come from about $150 million in budget cuts to a varlery of programs, in- ctuding the two state university systems, and from closi11g a mi· grant farm worker housing facil- ity. among other things.

Danner reponed to the New· port City Council last week that che state crunch had touched the city on more fronts than just the vehicle License ree. City lead· ers were surprised when they got $50,000 less than expected from the county In the form of the Homeowners Exem ption Property Tax Relief. Those fWlds Dow from the state to the coun- Lies. which in tum pass the money along to the cities on a quarterly basis. lnstead of the roughly $75,000 the city expected. it got about $25,000 and an e-mail from county staff saying that the state hadn't paid the county the full amounL When the state paid up, the county would pass it along. it said. Thursday's move by the gover- nor should correct this problem, as well. A spokesman for the of· fice of county Auditor-Controller David Sundstrom said that county staff have been talking with state officials, who assured them that the homeowner tax money would be paid in full to the county. The county expect:. to pay the cities the re t of their quarterly amount on Jan. 9.

During good financial times. Gov. Pete Wilson decided that the slate would share its wealth by reduc- ing by two-thirds the fees it col- lects from motorists and making up the difference to cities out of the state budget. Gov.

Earlier 1his month, Schwarz· enegger rewrscd that position, saying that 1he state was unable to pay cities and counties the full amount.
