DEDICATED TO SKATING

Costa Mesa’s skateboard park opened in late June, but now the city

will make it official with a dedication ceremony Tuesday. Stop by the

Volcom Skate Park of Costa Mesa at 4 p.m. for a few speeches and

skating demonstrations.

The park is at 900 Arlington Drive in TeWinkle Park. Skaters must

wear helmets and other appropriate safety gear.

LOCK UP THE EXECUTIVES

More than 75 Newport Beach business executives are scheduled to

take part in a fundraiser for the Muscular Dystrophy Assn. from 11

a.m. to 2 p.m. Thursday.

They will be “locked up for a good cause” at Tommy Bahamas, 854

Avocado Ave., in Newport Beach. Newport Beach Firefighters and

Muscular Dystrophy Association volunteers will arrest the executives,

who will be thrown in jail and allowed to make phone calls to help

raise bail, set at $1,800. Money goes to the Muscular Dystrophy Assn.

Band. The show begins at 8 p.m., with tickets from $35 to $55. For
