The move is a precaution against damage to the 800-acre park and downstream community by winter storm water rampaging off the 156,000 acres of burned off Ventana Wilderness lands. The upstream watershed was denuded in August by one of the worst fires in the area's history. Oldtimers compare it with the fire of 1906, which was followed by three years of devastating high waters and mudslides.

How long the park will remain closed is "iffy." The official line is for the "duration of the flood potential situation." There is the yardstick of the 1906 fire, but restoration of plant life vital to preventing heavy runoff from flooding the river gorge and spill- Turn to Page21, CoL 1 Examiner Phoio oy RoDen McLeod Irish demonstrators greeted the prince with picket signs at the Opera House last night CANCER AND AIR POLLUTION long have been linked in statistical theory, but there's little evidence bearing out the connection.

Night at the Opera: Puccini and pickets By Ivan Sharpe The Prince of Wales attended the San Francisco Opera last night for the opening performance of Puccini's spectacle, Turandot. The prince, wearing a black dinner jacket and smiling slightly, walked into the packed Opera House while pro-Irish demonstrators chanted on both sides of the entrance.

He was greeted at the door by Kurt Herbert Adler, the opera company's general director. About 200 demonstrators dispersed" shortly after the prince disappeared inside and could no longer hear their cries of "stop torture." About 20 police officers kept the demonstrators behind ropes extending from curbside to the doors. AH street intersections along the prince's route between the Fairmont Hotel and the Opera House were closed by police. They were reopened after his car, escorted by motorcycle officers, passed by. The prince was an added attraction for operagoers.

The Opera House had been sold out long ago for last night's performance, starring Montserrat Caballe, famous Spanish soprano making her San Francisco debutThe tenor was Italian superstar Luciano Pavarotti. The prince was seated in a special box for the performance, which included a scene in which a young lady appeared briefly in the nude. She was tactfully camouflaged with body makeup.

To them, it is one of the year's most important religious holidays.

And that doesn't mean ringing doorbells, putting on masks, parading down Castro Street or ogling the Polk Street Frolics.
