NO PENALTY: It seemed another cruel blow for hockey fans: When some Mighty Ducks season-ticket holders received their replacement packages for the lockout-shortened 1995 season, the printed per-game price had increased from $23 to $24. . . . It’s just a mistake. “A few tickets were misprinted,” says Duck spokesman Bill Robertson. “We’ve tried to alert all those involved.” Customers will be billed for the correct price. The Ducks play their home opener Monday night against Edmonton.

NO PEPPERONI: Domino’s Pizza executives were so pleased by the quick work of the Fullerton police early Thursday in foiling a would-be robbery of a pizza deliverer, they sent the police a whole party’s worth of pizza. The police politely declined--department policy--so Domino’s instead will donate certificates to its drug program. Two officers dressed up like deliverymen to answer a suspicious call that turned out to have come from gunmen allegedly planning a robbery.

SA SAYS: There was a little confusion at the last Fullerton City Council meeting on voting procedures. At one point, council members got so off-track they wound up voting on one issue three times. Veteran Councilman Don Bankhead called it “embarrassing.” But they can take heart: Mayor Julie Sa has just returned from a government refresher on Robert’s Rules of Order. . . . Says Sa: “Next time I’m going to concentrate on what’s on the agenda only. No voting on anything that’s not on the agenda.”

CARDIAC ALERT--The Doheny Longboard Surfing Assn. is holding a contest just south of San Clemente today that’s not for the faint of heart. Called the Cardiac Classic, it’s only for surfers without wet suits . . . in 57 degree water . . . at 6:30 a.m.--when the air temperature is expected to be in the low 40s. . . . Hypothermia can be a problem, says club spokesman Mike Emery: “I’ve gotten so cold I didn’t know if I was paddling in or out. That’s when it’s time to come in.”
