The complaint was filed to address enforcement of alleged violations of the California Coastal Act, as documented by the California Coastal Commission and others, for what is described by CLEAN as “a massive, illegally placed development, including a large self-storage facility, on the west bank of Malibu Creek, just upstream from Malibu Lagoon.” The action—a civil suit filed under the citizen suit enforcement provisions of the California Coastal Act of 1976—seeks compliance “with the substantive and procedural requirements” of the state law, alleging that the defendants developed the property without obtaining a coastal development permit, or CDP, as required by law at every stage of development or alteration at the site located within the coastal zone. Marcia Hanscom, the managing director of CLEAN, said, “These violations have been well-documented, and the Adamsons have known about them for some time, yet they still appear to not want to comply with a very important state law designed to protect natural resources, such as Malibu Creek, Malibu Lagoon and Santa Monica Bay.” Hanscom added, “We fully intend to convince the Adamsons to realize this illegal development’s contribution to the pollution problems in the creek and the lagoon, and to properly take responsibility for these problems. We tried to do this without going to court, but it appears enforcing the law through the courts is the only alternative that remains.” Earlier last year, CLEAN sent the Adamson companies a 60day notice of alleged violations under the federal Clean Water Act and also notified them of the group’s concerns about alleged violations of the California Coastal Act. According to the complaint filed Dec. 9, the alleged violations of the California Coastal Act subject the Adamson companies to civil penalties under California Public Resources Code– §30820(a) of up to $30,000 per violation of the California Coastal Act, and to civil penalties under California Public Resources Code–§30820(b) of up to $15,000 per day per violation for “intentional and knowing” violations of the California Coastal Act. CLEAN’s complaint asks the court to impose these civil penalties, as well as award costs to the group for its legal action. “The sooner the Adamsons decide to comply with the law, the sooner the per-day penalty fees will stop being added up,” Hanscom said. ALTERNATE APPROACH—An environmental group is taking legal action against development along Malibu Creek that is alleged to be impacting the Malibu Lagoon area’s water quality. “Not only have the Adamsons said she had “no comment” on within the coastal zone.

BY ANNE SOBLE for the Mariposa Land Company environmental preservation” Council Turns Down Conservancy Request ■ Ramirez Canyon Residents Imply SMMC Tries End Run around Their Efforts A contingent of Ramirez Canyon property owners who came out in full force at last week’s Malibu City Council meeting did not have to speak to have their voices heard by council members. The issue involved a littlenoticed provision offered by the Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy at a previous planning commission meeting when the panel was making recommendations about the proposed amendment to the Local Coastal Program. Led by former Malibu City Attorney Steven Amerikaner, who earlier in the day had sent a letter to City Attorney Christi Hogin, the residents strongly objected to language that SMMC officials were seeking to be included in the LCP amendment addressing regional and statewide recreation- al resources in Malibu. SMMC officials contended the proposed park language put forth by the city “does not address and therefore excludes via absence, recreational resources of regional and statewide importance which is inconsistent with Coastal Act policies mandating that optimal public access and recreational opportunities be provided for all people.” When Paul Edelman, the deputy director of natural resources and planning for the conservancy, addressed the planning commission, he offered several pages of specific language he said SMMC officials wanted to see included in the LCP amendment addressing the conservancy’s concerns. Without much discussion, the planning commission agreed to include the language in the proposed LCP amendment. The changes call for definitions of community parks and regional parks and allowable uses in those parks, including which parks could be located in residential zones or other areas of the city. The definition of a regional park contained the following: “These are parks where special, prearranged activities and special events and functions may occur as appropriate or necessary for the benefit of the community and visitors.” Canyon homeowners, after the meeting, said they saw the SMMC efforts as an end run around the residents’ legal attempts to thwart the highly controversial activities the SMMC has carried out at its headquarters in Ramirez Canyon. Councilmember Jeff Jennings was quick to nix the inclusion of the SMMC language and asked that the entire agenda item about the LCP amendment be postponed until his committee could look at the final proposal before it was reviewed by the full council. “This is new,” Jennings objected. “It is inconsistent with what we had planned. My suggestion is we deal with it separately and refer it back to the planning commission staff.” Jennings noted the city and the California Coastal Commission had carefully worked out the agenda items. “This is something that can always be added on later. ZORACES hasn’t looked at it in a formal fashion. I have a lot of problems with it. I’m going to suggest the matter be sent back to ZORACES,” he said. Council members concurred. (Continued on page 23) More Criticize Point Pathways Controversy once again erupted over the proposed Pt. Dume pathways when the first of two meetings was recently held where Malibu city officials met with residents about the planned decomposed granite sidewalks to be built with railroad ties. “I’m very upset. The design is flawed. There is no adequate traffic study,” said Martha Fling, who said she lives on the corner of Grayfox and Grasswood Drive. “Speed is the biggest problem. We need a full traffic study. It appears this is to be a fait accompli.

Money was needed for postage to send gifts to the 150 soldiers. Local Realtor Susan Monus and others donated generously. Issue Raised Is Impact of Development on Neighborhoods Before Malibu planning commissioners got down to the business of approving several permits, panelists talked this week about how they could view the impact their approvals have on Malibu’s distinct neighborhoods. The discussion was prompted by Commissioner John Sibert, who said he had taken a walk on Wildlife Drive on Point Dume and observed three projects he could not remember from the applications submitted for approval. “They looked different than the plans. I’m not accusing anybody, but one of the things I thought about was the unintended consequences of cranking these things out during the last 14 to 15 months,” he said. Sibert suggested that it might be time to start looking at the building sites and completed projects after the approval process. “We look at sites before they come before us. Do we ever look at what happens after we approve these projects?” Sibert asked. Commissioner Pete Anthony asked if Sibert was proposing an “outcome study.” Sibert responded, “Not so much. But what is the impact? What does it look like? What I’m asking is how do we make good, sound decisions?” Planning Manager C.J. Amstrup indicated he believed there is value in some sort of revisiting process. “There is some wisdom in looking back,” he said. The planning head said the staff could report back to the commission three or four times per year. “The staff makes final inspections and could take photos and bring that back as a power point presentation. We could show the photos and show what your action has done,” he said. Sibert said he thought that was a good starting point. Since the item was not on the agenda, presumably the staff will bring back a report seeking a specific directive when the item is placed on the agenda. TRANCAS CANYON HOUSE With Commissioner Regan Schaar absent and Chair Les Moss recusing himself because he lives within 500 feet of the proposal, a majority of the planning commission approved an application for a new 8,018-square-foot house that includes 11,835-square-feet of underground development. Andy Kanigowski, who said he has been in the approval process for the last seven years, told commissioners the undergrounding of so much developed space was a direct result of trying to reduce the visual impact of the house on the hillside overlooking Malibu West and Trancas Canyon Park. “We need a big house,” added Kanigowski. The applicant successfully sought the two-story, single-family home with a 6,465square-foot basement, a 2,430square-foot underground garage also classified as a basement, a tennis court over a 2,940-square-foot underground barn/storage area, also classified as a basement. Planners told commissioners the basement square footage was allowed because the application was filed before the city enacted its new basement regulations. Project critic Patt Healy said there should have been a view analysis by staff of visual impacts from Trancas Canyon Park; well drilling activities require a fish and game permit because of Trancas Creek; and the property is covered by coastal sage scrub, considered Environmentally Sensitive Habitat Area by the California Coastal Commission. The city biologist countered the claims, saying the applicant did not need a fish and game permit for the well. He also asserted that a CCC permit obtained in 1990 states the native vegetation is not ESHA and will not ever become ESHA on that site. Kanigowski said he and his architect tried to reduce visual impacts from the proposed park and the rest of the neighborhood. Commissioners agreed. “It is a really, really big house, but this is stealth,” said Commissioner Carol Randall. “I don’t see a problem with the views from the park.” Sibert said he did not find the house to be outside of the neighborhood character. “I walked around [the story poles]. I couldn’t see the story poles from Pacific Coast Highway. This is a really, really big house, but they have managed to not make it intrusive.” Anthony said he liked the way the plans built the house and structures into the slope. He said he was aware the project was being built under the old rules, but thought that was better. “I’m not sure the new rules would make a better project. You can’t just look at numbers on the page. It doesn’t look as big as it is,” he added. BY BILL KOENEKER City and Chamber Host Pre-Holiday Get-Togethers CHEER—Holiday good will was in the air at a couple of civic events last week. Residents and businesspeople assessed 2005 and looked ahead to the new year. The City of Malibu hosted its annual holiday open house, left, in the council chambers. A day earlier, the Malibu Chamber of Commerce had its holiday mixer at Duke’s restaurant. The chamber combined its holiday event with a Hurricane Katrina relief fundraiser.

P AG E 4 MA LIBU S URFS ID E N EW S DECEMBER 22• 2005 Town FORUM L-E-T-T-E-R-S to the E-D-I-T-O-R INQUIRY Editor: I live across from Zuma Beach on Pacific Coast Highway. My house is located about 300 feet from PCH. It is the second one from the bluff. For about three years, I have noticed that when the postman has a letter or package that must be signed for, he/she, rather than bother to drive up the driveway, simply puts a “Sorry We Missed You” notice in the box. I have complained at the Post Office on Heathercliff several times, but the same lack of service continues. I was at home all day on Friday, December 16, with a cold. I sent my daughter down for my mail and she came back with another “Sorry We Missed You” notice. The package in question was one I had been waiting for. It had been sent “Express Mail.” I would like to know if other people in Malibu have had this same lack of service on the part of the post office. Agnes Peterson IIEveryone here is ho...ho... hoping that all your news is good news this beautiful holiday season. SERVICE Editor: Last Friday I had the privilege, and honor, of attending a dual “Celebration of Life” for Devon Goodman and his mother, Bonnie Brown, at the Malibu West Club. The service was standing room only, attended by more than 200 of the family’s friends and neighbors. Although I only knew Devon from his visits to the Malibu Ranch Market and an occasional “Hello” around the neighborhood, I’ve noticed myself reflecting many times over the past few days about how much I will miss this young man’s presence in my life. His infectious smile and love of life were treasured by everyone who knew him. I never had an opportunity to meet Bonnie, but testimonials and slide show given during the service gave me a clear picture of how both she and Devon touched so many lives. Through tears of joy and sadness, many friends painted a vivid picture of how close and loving Bonnie’s and Devon’s relationship was. A woman who had originally known Devon as his baby-sitter and later as a close cherished friend to Bonnie probably said so many of the things that all of us in attendance felt. I guess people like Devon and Bonnie come into our lives at the right times and in the right ways. They give us love, support, friendship and memories that last our lifetimes. Maybe it’s true that “the good die young.” If so, the connection we make with these special people in their short time must somehow be meant to be that much more intense in the moment and as we think about them in their absence. Nancy Rosenquist APPRECIATION Editor: Congratulations to our city council, the city’s staff, [Susan] Shaw, Barbara Cameron and the residents of our community for their outstanding efforts in acquiring the Chili Cook-Off site. But special kudos must go to Sharon Barovsky and Ken Kearsley, without whose determination and creativity the acquisition of the property would not have been successfully concluded. And while the purchase of the Chili Cook-Off property was probably the second most important event in our city’s history after cityhood, let us not forget the purchases of the ball fields this year due in no small part to the patience and tenacity of Jeff Jennings. Future generations will look back, I am convinced, with gratitude on these accomplishments. The lesson to this generation is that we can accomplish anything for the benefit of our city if we all work together.

Schoneberger compares the symbolic essence of the Theme Building with Egypt’s pyramids, the Eiffel Tower of Paris, the Taj Mahal of India, W hen you pick up friends at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), do you ever purposely look at the Theme Building, that sprawling figment of the imagination that rises from the airport center? Some people say that it looks like an alien space ship, while others marvel at its striking futuristic design. But there is no question that to millions of airline passengers, it has become an irrepressible symbol of Los Angeles, an icon of a modern-age airport, according to Malibuite William Schoneberger, editor of the new book “A Symbol of Los Angeles.” The authors, architects Victor Cusack and Harrison Lewis Whitney, were closely involved in the design, implementation and construction of present-day LAX. A highlight of the publication are numerous historic black and white photos of all phases of construction of the Theme Building and impressive color images of it from all angles, at all times of the day and night. The exterior lighting was designed by Disney Imagi- the St. Louis Gateway Arch and San Francisco’s Golden Gate Bridge. In one’s mind each image denotes the place itself. The Theme Building was declared Historical Monument No. 570 in 1992.

William Pereira taught senior architectural students at the University of Southern California from 1947. Hoping for the commission, he assigned his 1951 graduating class the design project. Many of their ideas were eventually incorporated. Editor Schoneberger says, “I’m proud of this book, it is the story of the creation of the Los Angeles International Airport the way it is today, an icon of a modern age airport.” He praises the talent of graphic designer Amanda Guilmain for the book’s stunning look.

[310] 456-2286 MAL IBU SU RF SIDE NEWS DECEMBER 22 • 2005 PAGE 9 Chef’s Creativity Flavors Latke Cook-Off Jeff Nathan to Serve up Apple and Purple Potato Recipes at Annual Family Gathering I It’s the first afternoon of Hanukkah and Manhattan super-chef Jeff Nathan has assembled his wife, Alison, his son, Chad, and his daughter, Jaclyn, in the kitchen for the annual latke cook-off. “Every year our family divvies up who hosts the Jewish holidays,” says Alison. “For some reason we always get Hanukkah. But it’s our favorite, so it’s okay with us. “ “Every Hanukkah the menu changes slightly,” says Chad. “But this year we’re both old enough to cook and tell our parents what we want or don’t want in the latkes. ‘No onions or mushrooms for me—in anything,’” he emphasizes. “But that means I have to come up with alternatives.” The Nathans love trying out new latke recipes—this year, they’ll do apple latkes—which taste more like fritters—and the purple potato latke, which Chad invented and named Purple Potato Presents because you get the gift of its brilliant color when you bite into it. “We divide the chores,” the creative kosher chef relays. There’s grating the potatoes, breaking the eggs and frying the latkes. “Everybody wants to break; nobody wants to grate,” he laughs. “When we get ready to cook, we make four copies of the recipes and tape them on the cabinets at eye level,” Jeff says. “That way if we want to write on it—Jackie always crosses off fennel, Chad loves fennel but crosses off onions—at least we’re not marking up the cookbook or getting food all over it,” says Alison. Jackie will get out the rest of the family decorations, including the two pillows that traditionally adorn the couch, one with a girl and boy snowman, the other with a picture of a menorah with Velcro flames. “Every night I add one more.” The teenagers enthusiastically interrupt each other, happily recalling Hanukkahs past as they painstakingly prepare for Hanukkah present. “Jackie and I both want to light the menorah,” says Chad happily. “So we take turns—or fight over it.” Apple Latkes with Spiced Sour Cream From “Jeff Nathan’s Family Suppers,” Clarkson Potter, September 2005. Makes four hearty servings. 1 8-ounce container sour cream 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, or more to taste Batter 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 1/2 cup granulated sugar 3/4 teaspoon baking powder 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice D A I EL L A & T I BAKERY INC. 5657 Kanan Rd., Agoura Hills, CA 91301 OPEN: M-F 9–6:30 Sat. 9–5 Sun. 10–4 Make Our Traditional Holiday Dinner Part of Yours 1/2 Tray of Homemade Lasagna (meat or meatless) Serves 10 $29 .95 with ad. Traditional Italian Panettone Cakes 10% Off Homemade Italian Bread Baked Daily Catering for All Occasions Family Owned & Operated for 25 Years “Best Sandwich”—Readers Choice Awards (818) 991-4838 3/4 cup water 2 firm apples, such as Golden Delicious, Fuji, or Granny Smith, unpeeled 1/2 cup canola oil, as needed Confectioners’ sugar, for sprinkling To make the Spiced Sour Cream, stir together the sour cream, vanilla, and cinnamon in a small bowl. Set aside at room temperature while making the latkes so it can lose its chill. Whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and allspice in a medium bowl. Whisk in the water until barely smooth. Core apples and cut into 1/4-inch dice. Immediately fold the diced apples into the batter. Line a baking sheet with a double thickness of paper towels. Heat the oil over high heat until it begins to shimmer. Reduce the heat to medium. Working in batches, using about 1/3 cup for each latke, pour the batter into the skillet. Cook until the underside is golden brown, about 1 1/2 minutes, adjusting the heat as needed so the latkes don’t burn. Turn and cook the other side. Transfer to the paper towels to drain briefly. It is best to serve each batch immediately after draining. If you wish, use two skillets to keep them coming at a fast pace. Sprinkle the latkes with confectioners’ sugar. Serve at once with the sour cream passed on the side. Purple Potato Presents with Black Olive and Tomato Relish From Chad Nathan. Makes about 6–8 servings. Chad calls his latkes “presents” because on the outside they look golden brown, just like any other latke, but when you bite into them, the bright purple color is revealed.

PAGE 14 MALIBU SURFSIDE NEWS DECEMBER 22 • 2005 The Aquarium AGE The Week of December 22–28, 2005 Today is the Solstice, a day of real magic that marks the turning point between the dark and the light, the liminal threshold between the old and the new. For some of us it’s the true New Year, and we rejoice as our ancestors did in the Sun’s affirmation of life. The Solstice is the template for most of our modern seasonal rituals— we light candles, bring trees into our homes, bake rich breads to invite an abundant harvest for the coming year. It is a holy day that everyone can celebrate because we are all alive on the same planet, spinning in space around the same Sun, a brilliant star that provides the fire and heat for life. The only suggested Solstice rite is taking a break from the madness of what has become the season of our dysfunction and finding a few quiet moments to honor a shared primal passage. Unfortunately, finding time to honor anything except frayed and frazzled nerves will require a miracle of determination. The ongoing configuration between Saturn, Jupiter, Mars and Neptune continues to add a grousing undertone to most interactions. This is not a jolly combination so don’t be dismayed if you’re not in the mood. The Jupiter/Mars opposition inclines toward premature action, and as Saturn squares both Jupiter and Mars, that hastiness could have a ruthless, meanspirited edge. The Saturn/Neptune opposition tends toward hypersensitivity and this week that could easily turn into paranoia. The Jupiter square to both Saturn and Neptune is likely to exaggerate a sense of personal injury, especially if egos are involved. The Mars square to Saturn and Neptune adds a paradoxical mixture of belligerence and collapse that translates into a profusion of victims but an absence of the necessary strength to take a stand for justice. Whew‚ I’m exhausted just writing about it. This week, there just isn’t a lot of room for ho-ho-hos, but just because the planets are grumpy doesn’t mean we can’t use the power of that planetary friction for transformation. We are not subject to the stars, and it’s important to remember that even if it’s impossible to write about astrology without implying that the stars determine who we are and how we live. Earth is a free-will planet, and we are always participating in the creative power of choice. So as the next 10 days unfold, try to be as present as possible for authentic opportunities for compassion for yourself and others. It’s been a year of overwhelming intensity and it would be so helpful to so many if each of us could end this year with genuine goodwill that’s grounded in the real magic of peaceful behavior. If you know your ascendant and/or your moon sign, read that too.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): Use the next 10 days to gather as many loose ends as possible, for although the retrogrades are over, there are still lots of details in need of attention. Spend your time finishing up, and you will be amazed how your internal resources are replenished. Gemini (May 21-June 21): Rather than devolving into a litany of what should happen, take a deep breath and attune to what is. Yes, this threatens your need for a specific outcome, but letting go will make room for true joy and happiness. Cancer (June 22-July 22): It’s about perspective, so take the time, no matter how busy you are, to step back and survey all you’ve accomplished. Then, let that big picture help you to decide the next step. Leo (July 23-August 22): So many changes are happening so quickly you’re in serious need of extra time and energy. Make sure you remember to do what’s necessary to maintain your physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health and you’ll stay strong. Virgo (August 23-September 22): The best way through is to be assiduously honest with yourself about your intentions. Maintain your integrity and you’ll prosper from the benefits of truth. Libra (September 23-October 22): The emphasis is on trying to be as objective as possible. And while it is never easy to be completely free from bias, if you’re determined to think before you speak, you’ll find yourself negotiating sticky spots with skill. Scorpio (October 23-November 21): You’re still learning to combine work and play, and as part of that process you’re vacillating between intense exertion and deep relaxation. While the swings between extremes are disconcerting, these lessons in energy management are worth it. Sagittarius (November 22-December 21): Some people think vulnerability is the way of the wuss‚ but to the wizards of heart management, vulnerability is often the strongest stance possible. When we live with an open heart, we live a life of intelligent strength. Capricorn (December 22-January 19): It’s time for you to renew your passion and excitement about all the different projects you’re involved with. So put aside that facade of indifference and jump into enthusiastic participation. Aquarius (January 20-February 18): You may feel as if you have the tiger by the tail, but you might want to maintain a humble approach while you’re attempting to handle that power. You’re not in danger‚ you just don’t want to overreach and end up deflated instead of empowered. Pisces (February 19-March 20): As you well know, sometimes a situation has to break down before the perfect remedy for what ails can be found. So don’t despair if life feels unstable. It is, but that doesn’t mean it won’t rearrange itself in a better pattern. BY RALFEE FINN Copyright © 2005 OGDEN’S CLEANERS 1-HOUR We do not use perc.

Does that sound cute? Well, that’s not the half of it. It seems Sarah (Jennifer Aniston) has stumbled onto a family secret. The book and the subsequent film, “The Graduate,” were based on her family. Her grandmother (Shirley MacLaine) was the inspiration for Mrs. Robinson, and Sarah’s mother was the Katherine Ross character, Elaine, with the exception that she didn’t wind up with Dustin Hoffman’s character Benjamin Braddock; she only had a fling with him right before she married Sarah’s father. The fact that Sarah was born a little less than nine months after her parents’ wedding leads her to think that possibly her biological father might be Beau Burroughs (Kevin Costner). After all, she doesn’t resemble any of her family, and she feels like the odd man out, so to speak. So, in the film “Rumor Has It,” Sarah sets out to find Beau and confront was the truth might just be a pile of lies. Who is she? What is she looking for? What does she want? The generational family dynamics play out in a fun story that will have you laughing out loud. This is one of the cutest stories to come along since, well, “The Graduate.” Although this film is mainly set in Pasadena, there is a strong Malibu connection, in addition to Malibuite Aniston and ex-Malibuite MacLaine having leading roles. It was partially filmed at the Saddleback Ranch in the Malibu hills and at Leo Carrillo State Beach. MacLaine is at her best as the sarcastic matriarch with a colorful past, and Ruffalo is adorable as the loving boyfriend. This is a fun and funny film that closes the generation gap. And here’s to you, Mrs. Robinson! “Rumor Has It” is rated PG-13 for mature thematic material, sexual content, crude humor and a drug reference. BY FRANCINE BROKAW FAMILY SECRETS—Sarah, played by Jennifer Aniston, seeks answers to questions about her family from Shirley MacLaine’s character, Sarah’s grandmother and the inspiration for Mrs. Robinson in “The Graduate.” him with her question. Is he her biological father? What she doesn’t count on is that Beau will sweep her off her feet, and she will fall prey to the same charms as her grandmother and mother did many years before. It seems all the women in her family cannot resist this man, and Sarah discovers that she is definitely part of that family because she ends up in the same pre- dicament. She is at a crossroads in her life, with a career that seems to be stagnating and an impending walk down the aisle she is not sure she wants to take. Sure, Jeff (Mark Ruffalo) is a wonderful guy, but does she really want to get married?

The ZORACES is the acronym for the Malibu Zoning Ordinance Revisions and Code Enforcement Subcommittee. ZORACES has, under the aegis of Jennings, become a powerful clearinghouse for all issues related to planning and zoning, including the LCP. In many similar instances, Jennings has offered to use the committee to review materials before and after they are taken under submission by the planning commission. (Continued from page 9) The ZORACES also includes Councilmember Pamela Conley Ulich as a voting member. Usually two planning commissioners, the chair and vice chair, traditionally sit in on the meeting, but are not formal members nor do they have any voting privileges. After council deliberations, Ramirez residents pronounced themselves pleased by the city council’s actions and indicated the city’s direction might help them in an upcoming court hearing. BY BILL KOENEKER Point Pathways in Contention (Continued from page 2) just window dressing.” “I don’t think we need them,” said Dixie Moore, who suggested the routes were more determined by where city officials lived than other conditions. Moore said the same thing could be accomplished if the city took back its rightof-way where it had been encroached upon by property owners. “We don’t need them, especially on Point Dume, if the city enforced the encroachments. The city won’t respond to complaints,” she added. Approximately 60 people who met recently were told the pathways were previously approved by the city council, and money was already obtained for the construction of the routes, which were scheduled to be built by the end of the summer of 2006. The walkways would be installed on one side of the street, not on both sides. The reason is traffic safety for pedestrians. One of the issues is a lack of roadway delineation, according to one of the city’s consultants. The pathways would be built on the east side of Dume Drive from Heathercliff to Grayfox and then on the south side of Grayfox where walkways exist, according to planners. The pathways would also connect from Fernhill to Wildlife on the west side of the street. “It is similar to the pathways on Morning View Drive,” said the consultant. The Malibu Park pathway, which was built from the high school along Morning View Drive to Guernsey, was built without the controversy that has dogged the proposal on Point Dume. Point Dume activist John Mazza said the real issue on Point Dume is the parking. “A survey done several years ago indicated the citizens did not want sidewalks. It is an old survey, but a new one is needed,” he added. “There are pollution problems in our gullies. We need to study if [creosote from] railroad ties will leach into the gullies,” he said. BY BILL KOENEKER 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 200. Line a baking sheet with paper towels. Boil potatoes in salted water until tender. Drain, then put through a food mill, or beat in an electric mixer with the paddle attachment. Then transfer to a large bowl. Add the eggs, flour and remaining seasonings. Mix well. When cool enough to handle, shape into thick patties about 2-inches in diameter and 1/2 inch thick like a hockey puck). Set up the flour in a shallow dish, the eggs in another shallow dish, and the panko in a third shallow dish. Dredge the presents in the flour, egg, and then panko. Set aside. Add enough oil to a large, deep skillet to come 1/2inch up the sides. Do not skimp! Heat oil over medium-high heat until very hot, but not smoking. In batches without crowding, fry the presents, turning once, until deep golden brown on both sides. Use a slotted spatula to transfer to the baking sheet. When all presents are ready, bake in the oven for 4-6 minutes more if needed. While the presents are frying, prepare the relish. To make the relish, combine all of the ingredients and season with the salt and pepper. Let stand at room temperature. (The relish can be made up to one day ahead, covered and refrigerated. Bring to room temperature before serving.) Serve the presents hot, with the relish on the side.
