Bernardino recently tied the pending world record for spottl'il bass with a 9-4 landed at Lake Perris in River- side County. There may be few such catches in the future of spotted bass of any size. Florida-strain largemouths planted illegally by fishermen in recent years are rapidly Artificial reefs offshore of San Diego's beaches will be the top1:: of dis• cussion April 22 in room 210 of the Univers~ of San Diego's Serra Hall As the fifth in a senes of n Diego and the Sea seminars, the event is co-sponsored by th San Diego Oceans Foundation and USD's Marine Studies Program. California Department of Fish and Game biologist John Grant will lead the panel with an overview of the history and future of artificial reefs. Al Bruton, past president of the San Diego Council of Divers, will discuss the location and marine life attracted to various local artificial reefs. Both speakers will feature slide presenta- tions. For information, call 237-1221. Anglers boarding open party boats based in Oceanside harbor are enjoying an outstanding run that features ocean whitefish, rockfish, sheepshead, sculpin and bass. Landings based in Mission and San Diego bays continue to lead passengers on half- day excursions to mixed catches dominated by bonito and mackerel.

The cat~h at Sutherland included 659 bass by 855 anglers and totaled 25 bass over five pounds topped by a 12-8. Neighboring Lake Henshaw enjoyed its best run of bass this season with numerous limits and a good showing of large fish Bluegill are on a tear at Wohlford and crappie are showing up best at Cuyamaca displacing the spotted bass. • • • ARTIFICIALLY SPEAKING - • • • SALTWATER REPORT - FRESHWATER REPORT -

since earlier in the weekend. Through it all, the snake was the perfect guest, never rattling or striking, even during the clumsy effort or lifting it wiiit a saw and beheading it with a shovel. It just seems so crowded when they decide to sunbathe in your boat. • • • WINNERS - The San Diego Road Rangers ventured to Walter's Camp on the Colorado River over the weekend. Dave Patrick of Spring Valley won the 1½-day tourna- ment with 10 bass hefting 27-4, topped by a six pounder. Dennis mitb, also of Spring Valley, earned second place with a 27-0 double limit. Art Berry of San Diego topped the San Diego Strokers with four bass weighing 19-1 in a tournament held Satur- day at Sutherland. Other anglers caught more fish but Berry's kicker was a 12-1. A total of 19 anglers weighed in 58 bass. SAN DlEGAN'S SCORE - A pair of local bass pros surged to prominent positions in U.S. Bass Association standings after strong performances in tournament ac- tion at Lake Powell last weekend. First-day leader Greg Gardner of Santee finished in third place with 24.54 pounds of bass, less than a pound behind winner Frank Boothe of Albuquerque, who finished with 25.52 pounds. It was Gardner's second third-place finish of the 1987 sea- son and vaulted him into second place in the Angler of the Year standings. A seventh-place tournament finish (22.45 pounds) moved veteran San Diego bass pro Bobby Sandberg into ninth place in the race for Angler of the Year. Byron Frankenberger of Spring Valley placed 11th at Lake The next and final event on the U.S. Bass circuit will be held at Lake Mead J ne 20-21.

Quite gingerly, we searched and unloaded the boat - no snake. After convincing the crew that the snake must have slithered over the gunwales and away from us, we re- loaded the boat in preparation of our return to the rest of our group and the sandbar we had staked out up river. A few seconds before I would sit down behind the steering wheel, the second skipper observed that there

After establishing roughly 8,764 escape routes I could use if the operation went sour, I succeeded in lifting the snake out of the boat with the saw. He flipped off the saw and swam rapidly away from the dock to the shore. Unfortunately for both of us, the snake slithered partially into a crack next to the stairway leading to the ramp. l would have much preferred that he had headed away from the inhabitated area and into the wilds that sur- round the river.

Schott; San D_iego Chargers tight end Eric Sievers; KFMB public affairs di- rect~r Maria Velasquez, and public relallons specialist Gina Zanotti. Finalists Steve Vaus and Bree Walker were not present. Master of Ceremonies Robert M. Arnhym did a good job of stretch- ing the suspense-and the finalists' nerves-almost to the breaking point, but when the moment of truth arrived, a breathless Maria Velasquez made her way to the podium to accept the award from the 1985 Outstanding Young Citi- zen, Reese Jarrett. Velasquez stands to be named one of the 10 outstanding young citizens of the United States, should she first take the honors for California. The dinner committee included Margaret Boniface, Kristie and Steve Whitman, Peggy Cassel, Fran Maday, Alex Toth, Dan McAl- lister, and S.D. Junior Chamber President Chuck Salas. LA JOLLA-Earlier the same evenmg, the La Jolla Museum of Contemporary Art called together its corporate benefactors for a sneak preview of the "Smorgon Family Collection of Contemporary American Art," an exhibition of 1980s works collected by the lead mg industrial family of Melbourne Fifty or so guests assembled for cocktails in the museum court, and later, after tours of the exhibition adjourned for a multicourse ban: quet at George's al the Cove. Museum director Hugh Davies explained that he found a happy symmetry in choosing the corpo- rate benefactors group as sponsors of this particular show, simply because the Smorgon family is so important in business Down Under. Among those present were par- tial exhibit underwriters Ivor and o ette Royston, and preview din- ner organizer Heather Metcalf with her husband, Jack.

D The atmosphere wasn't quite as tense as at ore Academy Awards, but nonetheless, a certain nervous electricity pulsed through the Sheraton Harbor Island's Grand Ballroom on Thursday when the 10 rinalists for the Tom Sefton Out- standing Young Citizen Award for 1986 gathered with about 250 friends and community leaders for the San Diego Junior Chamber of Commerce's 41st annual Outstand- ing Young Citizen Award dinner. The finalists looked pleased flushed and excited as they greeted well-wishers during the cocktail reception, but they looked mostly as if they were ready to get down to the business of the award presenta- tion. None claimed to have a speech prepared, but, if so, why did several seem to be practicing their remarks when they should have been en- gaging in cocktail chatter? "'I I fl e 1st was balan11ed between men and women, and the smart money was betting that the odds favored a female win; the only other woman to take the award was Lynn Schenck, who captured it in 1975, the first year that women were placed In competition. As it happened, the smart money did collect the wagers, but not until !',fter the unfolding of a long and rath_er meaningful ceremony. After vanous speakers offered tributes (soon-to-depart Councilman Wil- ham Jones, the 1983 award winner, gave a particularly stirring key- note address), the finalists were Th 1

After montlls of extensive plann- ing by a number of the top minds at the Uniyersity of San Diego, USD is ready to present the San ·ego community its first USDForum. The USDForum will provide the community with a much-needed public arena to tackle the region's most pressing issues in a compell- ing, dramati setting. On May 13 at the Lyceum Theatre, the USDForum will ag- gressively seek answers to this oft- asked but difficult question: "Should all local governments in the San Diego Region adopt a coor- dinated Growth Management Plan which actively limits growth?" In the tradition of public televi- sion's "The Advocates," recogniz- ed experts on both sides of the growth i u will be questioned on the "witness stand" by USD law school facility. Key members of the audience discussion by use of other formats used successfully on public televi- Study guides, reflecting research favoring and opposing growth con- trols, are being developed by USD faculty for publication at the time T he USDForum will be presented free of charge as a public service to San Diego.

Deans on the committee are Ray Brandes, School of Graduate and Continuing Education; James Burns, School of Business Ad- ministration , E1ward DeRoche, School of F.ducation; and Sheldon Krantz, School of Law. Krantz, who chairs the commit- tee, said, "at present, there are no continuing forums of hlgh quality to debate and discuss the signifi- cant issues facing San Diego. This means that these issues often ar addressed by policy makers witi limited information or are not ad- dressed at all. USD intends to fill that void. After the pilot program on growth, the USDForum plans to tackle two issues a year. Morality in public of- fice, border issues and airport loca- tion are among the topics being considered for subsequent forums.
