ON THE WATER: For years, kayaks and canoes were taboo at Lake Casitas, for fear that boaters would taint the reservoir (F1A). But Tim Dewar and his newly formed Lake Casitas Canoe & Kayak Club have persuaded the Casitas Municipal Water District to allow some closely monitored use. . . . Members kayak between 7 a.m. and noon on weekends now, but come April, they’ll hit the lake one afternoon a week. . . . The club’s biggest concern is getting volunteers to serve as monitors, Dewar said, adding that it’s not too big an imposition: “It sounds like work, but it’s really not, because you get to go out on the water.”
BIG BUCKS: Candidates in Ventura’s 1993 election spent $222,000, a number that was eclipsed by the 1995 figures (B4). . . . But with the campaign-contribution limits passed by voters in November, Councilman Jim Friedman thinks that the trend will begin to reverse. “With campaign reform now, I don’t think you will see those numbers in the future,” he said. “I think this was probably the last big year.”
DOUBLE DEAL: Mike and Bob Bryan of Camarillo have made the U. S. Junior National Tennis team, which represents the United States internationally. . . . The 17-year-olds, students at Rio Mesa High, will become the third set of twins to play together on the national team. The others were MaliVai and Mashona Washington of Florida, and Tami and Teri Whitlinger of Wisconsin. . . . In 1995, the Bryan twins captured Boys’ 18 Doubles championships in both the USTA National Hard Court and Clay Court tournaments.
