PARK PLACE: The city of Ventura is adding another tennis court at Camino Real Park, along with a clubhouse and restrooms (B1). . . .

The butterflies usually arrive in November to spend winter in eucalyptus trees bordering the park.

SURFER DUDE: Lawrence Manson will stay cool even if his “Baywatch” debut ends up on the cutting-room floor. . . . Manson is a history teacher at Ventura College and a member of the Surfrider Foundation, a coastal protection group.
