The water problem is the most pressing maintenance issue found recently by a his toric preservation firm, but is only a part of the estimated $6 million in repairs or restoration work the company recommends. "These water repairs need top priority if we want to keep the building from rotting away, said Tom Winter, an architect and member of a stakeholders group of preservation activists and city officials overseeing the auditorium review.

Preservationists on the oversight panel hope the findings can be used to make the case for a large cash infusion from the City Council. The group wants to add other vital projects to the list and push for 1 0 million, said committee member Dennis Neu-feld.

Prime perches in peril By Denny Walsh BEE STAFF WRITER A Sacramento federal judge ruled Friday that there is "no First Amendment right to bare breasts on the grounds of the state Capitol" and refused to restrain California Highway Patrol officers from arresting a group of women who want to stage a topless protest. When representatives of Breasts Not Bombs last week secured a permit to demonstrate at the Capitol at noon Monday, they were warned by the CHP that female protesters with bare breasts would be arrested for indecent exposure and disorderly conduct. The group, based in Mendocino County, hired a lawyer and sued CHP Commissioner Mike Brown and two of his officers, asking for a temporary restraining order barring arrests of its members.

Attorney Matthew Kumin argued Friday on behalf of Breasts Not Bombs that "people in our society have become desensitized to demonstrations, and my clients have a way of getting their attention. Once the public looks, the issues begin to emerge. "The message is inextricably tied to my clients being topless," Kumin said. Deputy Attorney General Scott Wyckoff countered that the "baring of breasts has no expressive value at all, and it's certainly not political in nature."

By Dirk Werkman BEE STAFF WRITER A $7 million museum with state-of-the-art technology to preserve the history of aviation and teach about 21st-century aerospace will be constructed at McClellan Park.

Ground will be broken for the Aerospace Museum of California in April, and the facility is expected to draw visitors from throughout the state. "We expect to have a statewide recognition, and we think that being here in the heart of California, this is an appropriate" name for the museum, said Daniel D. Whitney, president of the board of the McClellan Aviation Museum Foundation, which is building the facility. Whitney said he sees the museum playing a role similar to the California State Railroad Museum in Old Sacramento, which also draws visitors from throughout the state. An Aviation Learning Center, which will include computer-based flight simulators that let schoolchildren experience what it could be like to fly a plane, will be moved into the new facility for continued use by students on field trips.

Monticello Dam By Todd Milbourn and Ed Fletcher BEE STAFF WRITERS LAKE BERRYESSA Tony and Mar-lyn Larosa have enjoyed stunning views of Lake Berryessa from the porch of their mobile home for more than 30 years. Across the lake, Richard Hunt owner of a mobile home since 1987 has been relishing his weekends away from the bustle of the city. And newcomers Rod Zebb and his buddy, who spent Friday afternoon rigging a television antenna outside their trailer, were content to get four channels amid the quiet isolation of the lake.

But these prime perches could soon become a memory. An environmental report released Friday puts the federal government one step closer to removing the more than 1,000 mobile homes and travel trailers that for decades have ringed the prime shoreline of Lake Berryessa.
