>>> you can't blame some folks in l.a. wondering if they are soon going to ban swimming in the pacific ocean for fear of drowning. that's because the l.a. county board of supervisors this week raised the fines for throwing a football or frisbee on any beach in l.a. county during the summer season. there are designated ball-throwing and volley ball areas on the beach, and that's it. the 37-page ordinance calls for a $100 fine for first-time offenders.
