A trial court had ruled three weeks ago for Carrigan, who along with other Malibu voters, had sued the city to have Barovsky’s name stricken from the ballot because she was termed out. The city attorney appealed the decision. Then, two weeks ago, the appellate court overturned that decision and Carrigan wants the state’s highest court to review the matter. However, City Attorney Christi Hogin, when asked to comment on the latest round of litigation, said Carrigan and his attorney have stalled over filing for the “The city attorneyy can say whatever she wants to say. It has nothing to ” dido with politics. Court immediately. “Very clearly it is an attack on one candidate. The chief justice specifically said in court they would make it final to give them a chance to seek a writ by the high court, but instead they are dragging their feet. They have done it at the last minute. It is apparent they want to cast doubt,” said Hogin. “It has surpassed the point of discussion of whether this is politics.” Carrigan disputed that claim. “The city attorney can say what she wants to say. It has nothing to do with politics. We have feverishly been trying to finish the work. We had 10 days. We believe so strongly in this, that is why we are seeking review,” he said. Hogin said she believed for two reasons the high court wouldn’t take the case because of the kind of litigation handled by the Supreme Court. “They decide when there is a split decision in the districts. We don’t have that here,” said Hogin. “They deal with important matters of law. This is an interpretation of the city’s term limits. This case is about an error that was made. That is what the appellate court is for. The Supreme Court is not looking for that.” On that matter, the two agree. Carrigan said he realizes that the high court accepts no more than about two percent of the cases seeking review. “The odds are not in favor of the Supreme Court picking this up,” he said. Hogin said the case law on the matter is quite clear. “Carrigan seems to be saying he is concerned about term limits and if he was interested in the law, we have a decision. We know what the law is,” the city attorney added. “It is anything but decided,” countered Carrigan, who said the fact that the lower court ruled (Continued on page 7) Planning Commission’s Escondido Beach OK Is Appealed Amid Charges Council Members Turn Down an Appeal Filed by Vocal Candidate review after the appellate chief justice had told them they were issuing a final opinion that night after the hearing so the matter could be taken to the Supreme A hotly contested proposal for a new oceanfront home on Escondido Beach recently approved by the Malibu Planning Commission was appealed by neighbors who live on both sides of the vacant land. Commissioners had been unswayed by the testimony of the neighbors who objected to the plans for the 3,478-square-foot, single-family beachfront residence. Both nearby property owners Waverly Properties, Inc. and Daniel Alberstone and Lisa Ogawa have appealed the planning panel’s decision. In its appeal Waverly, which owns the property adjacent to and immediately west of the subject property, maintains the application should be deferred “in light of the unresolved issue of the prescriptive easement rights belonging to Waverly over the subject property.” Additionally, the appellant also argues, in an appeal letter, that granting the applicant the stringline variance would confer a special privilege contrary to the provisions of the Local Coastal Program. The size of the proposal is also being challenged. “There is no question that the proposed development is significantly larger than most of the homes on Escondido Beach Road,” the appellant’s letter states. The appellant also claims the hearing was unfair and impartial. “Many of Waverly’s comments and complaints at the hearing were ignored by the commission. The commission also revealed at the beginning of the hearing that it had communicated with a prior owner of the subject property by the name of Kay Ferguson. However, the commission did not disclose the topics discussed with Ms. Ferguson. The comments made by various commissioners regarding their personal experiences and feelings about this matter further suggest that the ruling was unfair and impartial,” the letter went on to state. Alberstone contends the commission’s approval for a lot merger is in violation of the LCP. The appellant also claims the size and (Continued on page 7 ) ■ Main Contention Was that City Made Procedural Errors M alibu City Council candidate John Mazza, over nine months ago, appealed the city’s approval for a remodeling project on Debutts Terrace maintaining the city did not follow the proper procedures. But when the hearing was conducted last week, he was accused by one individual of doing so for political reasons. Marissa Coughlan, who is a permit expediter and land use consultant, told the Malibu City Council last week she believed Mazza was using the occasion as a political forum. “It Material Made from Tires Slated for Use on Streets The Malibu City Council last week gave the green light for the municipal public works department to pursue grant funds for helping pay for the use of rubberized asphalt concrete for the city’s repaving, or what city officials call overlay and slurry seal projects on streets. Rubberized asphalt concrete, or RAC, uses the waste from tire rubber. It is used in a number of communities. Grant monies are offered by the state to encourage the use of RAC to reduce landfill disposal and stockpiling of tires in California. The city has budgeted $1.2 million during the current fiscal year for repaving projects. The RAC grant money would help reduce the amount coming from the general fund, according to municipal officials. is a PR tactic to get his face on TV,” said Coughlan. “It is selfserving. His interest is because of the political campaign.” When Mazza regained the podium he argued that the comments were nonsense and totally out of line. He pointed to the nine month time frame and brushed aside that his motivations were for political reasons. “I appealed this project because the process is faulty. I have very little issue with the project,” he added. “All I asked at the time was to review the view impacts. The planning commission was not allowed to review it.” Mazza stated the process was subverted when the matter was not granted a full coastal permit hearing when it should have been, but was allowed to proceed as an administrative permit with approval only needed by the planning manager. At the time there was even some confusion among city officials about how the matter should be appealed and to what body when Mazza first raised his objections. The then planning manager at the time said he gave his OK to the project because it was so small. “Is it right to approve this because it is a small project when the California Coastal Commission said any addition to the house must be reviewed for view impacts. It was recorded against the deed. It should be reviewed, it should not be exempted. I’m asking you to send it back to the planning commission,” he said. The rest of the hearing became a debate between Mazza and Councilmember Jeff Jennings. “I want to understand John’s point. This particular addition is not visible, according to the applicant,” Jennings stated. Mazza said that was not correct. “You think it should be sent back to the commission and analyze the view impacts and that is going to advance the viewshed issues? How?” asked Jennings. “Now we can consider it subsequently. We don’t have an ex post facto,” answered Mazza. But Jennings would have none of it and cut Mazza off by saying. “This seems to me to be wheel spinning of a high order. It seems to me something Ryan [Embree] would do rather than you,” added Jennings, referring to another city council candidate Ryan Embree, who has also fought with the (Continued on page 7 ) Page 04—Forum 2/21/06 9:32 PM Page 1 PAGE 4 MALIBU SURFSIDE NEWS FEBRUARY 23 • 2006 Town FORUM L-E-T-T-E-R-S to the E-D-I-T-O-R APOLITICAL Apolitical AnticsANTICS The Santa Ana winds were getting the best of us. This rain arrived in the nick of time! SIDEWALKS Editor: I strongly support the proposal for “dg” sidewalks on Pt. Dume as part of the Safe Routes to Schools program. However, I am against the current plan to enforce city setbacks only on the east side of Dume Drive. There has been encroachment on both sides of the street—some grievous measures, including illegal walls and large boulders, some benign that involve low hedges and other landscaping. As a result, it is dangerous for pedestrians because they are forced into the roadway. “ If the “sidewalk” is put in, but nothing is done to enforce city easements on the west side as well, the increased number of cars that will need to park on the west side combined with the obstacles created by homeowners will make it even more dangerous than it is now. I endorse a plan that makes homeowners retreat from encroachment on both sides. I thoroughly disagree with opponents to these “sidewalks” and feel many of their arguments are smokescreens to buttress their opposition to any type of pedestrian walkway. I do agree with their argument that sidewalks alone will not make Dume Drive a street entirely safe for pedestrians. I recall that the city hired an engineering firm several years ago to look into traffic calming measures, including traffic circles, speed humps, signage and street narrowing in specific spots. I attended presentations at Pt. Dume community meetings. Nothing public seems to have come out of that survey-either recommendations or action. I think the results of the survey ought to be publicly debated and funds should be allocated to keep our Malibu neighborhoods safe for pedestrians and cyclists as well as for cars. It’s counterproductive to extoll the “rural” charm of Malibu when vehicles win out over people.” Gail Block MEMBERSHIP Editor, Enough already. I feel it is necessary to correct some of the misinformation that Ms. Ellen Sturtz stated in a recent letter to your newspaper (02/16/06). As TR&R membership chairperson, I have the documentation to show that she was not a member in good standing in our organization during 2005. She never fully paid her dues, claiming that the balance was paid to Drummond Ranch. Since neither the president, Rod Bergen, nor the treasurer, nor myself, nor the acting director of Parks and Recreation ever received any accounting of any kind from Drummond Ranch since June 2005; there is no evidence to support her claims. Regarding the annual election meeting that was held at my house, I requested that the herding dog people not interrupt our meeting since Mr. Bergen had already brokered a "conditional agreement" for them through parks and recreation earlier that day to resolve the Equestrian Park/Herding Dog usage issue. Even though Mr. Bergen informed them that there was no reason for them to attend the meeting, they refused to honor my request and basically, forced their way in. Once inside, it became apparent that their true objective was to elect an individual of their own choosing as TR&R President. They did this through a series of phony proxy votes that were subsequently thrown out (thereby aborting their “takeover” attempt). Ms. Sturtz states that Mr. Bergen was invited to their herding dog class. Since the herding dog people had broken into the arena by vandalizing an arena gate (a point subsequently admitted to me by one of their members) and since they were basically trespassing (an issue supported by the fact that they were summarily thrown out by a sheriff's deputy). I think that it was Ms. Sturtz and her crew that were uninvited. (Letters are continued on page 15) Yes, but did the thunder that came with it have to strike at 4 and 5 in the morning? Publisher’s NOTEBOOK Malibu Grand Prix E quip vehicles with 250 mph speedometers and 10,000 rpm tachometers, and what can happen? The drivers want to let their highperformance super cars loose on public roads and the potential for disaster is palpable. The local concerns about near-misses on Malibu’s canyon roads when clusters of Formula One wannabees catapult down bucolic roadways became reality near the base of Decker Canyon Road on Tuesday. A red Enzo Ferrari (or a Ferrari Enzo as Americans often call them) may have been traveling upwards of 120 mph—more than half its top speed of 217 mph—at 6 a.m. in circumstances that are still under investigation. The car allegedly was taking part in a prearranged drag race with a Mercedes SLR—of which there are no traces. The self-described passenger—who may have been at the wheel—walked away relatively unscathed from the carbon fiber cab with its gull-wing, scissored roof-doors. No “mystery” driver has yet been located. The speeding Ferrari became airborne and hit a power pole that shattered across Pacific Coast Highway. It isn’t very difficult to visualize what might have happened to a passing vehicle on PCH or a car exiting a nearby driveway if it was hit by what was tantamount to a million-dollar projectile that was out of control. his incident is also a reminder that the problem with F1-type vehicles on Malibu’s canyon roads has not been solved by holding a high-profile press conference on “Safe Canyon Roads.” Unsafe speeding and passing continues. Three weeks ago, there were reports of a halfdozen Ferraris blasting down Mulholland at close to 100 mph. A driver in an SUV, with a compact car in front of him and another in the rear, watched in amazement as one after another of the Grand Prix groupies did triple passes on what for all practical T purposes are blind curves. Even if this wasn’t a road on which busloads of blind and disabled children are transported to camp, that should generate outrage. alibu was lucky—a splintered power pole, a power outage for two hours and a highway closure for close to three hours. If the Sheriff’s Department and the California Highway Patrol don’t make it clear that racing cars have to adhere to the same rules of the road as everyone else, the luck is bound to run out. Those who spend six-toseven figures on a vehicle can afford to take them to racing tracks if they want to see how fast their cars can go. We don’t need to learn how fast they can kill.

On his days off he is an active member of the 6th Wisconsin Volunteers Company B based in Southern California. Once a year in October his “Iron Brigade” as they are known, along with hundreds of other authentically uniformed and equipped reenactors, head for the encampment at Tierra Rejada Ranch in Moorpark for the largest Civil War event in Southern California. LeConte’s 6th brigade focuses on informing people about the way of life of a common soldier of the Army of the Potomac. The 6th marched every mile, fought in every battle and was present for duty at Appomattox when General Lee surrendered in 1865. “We do this to pay tribute to, not only those who fought with the 6th Wisconsin Volunteers, but soldiers who fought in every American war, including our forces in Iraq today,” he said.

Quickly following up on Jennings remarks, other city council members and officials followed up with comments. Planning Manager CJ Amstrup said it was “self-evident that the addition is not a significant impact.” Councilmember Ken Kearsley said he believed there aren’t any visual impacts to the trail. “I don’t see any issue. Can we make the findings based on this photo?” he asked. Jennings concluded by saying that Mazza’s concerns were about whether a planning commission hearing should take place. “It is a Term Limits Decision Goes to High Court against the city and that the appellate decision was a not a unanimous ruling proves otherwise. Despite the outcome, one aspect of the issue is certain. “This election is done on who is going to be on the ballot,” Beach Decision to be Appealed (Continued from page 3 ) waste of time to send it back to the planning commission,” he said, adding, “The trail runs along the road.

Alberstone also alleges the hearing was not fair or impartial. “Given the apparent hostility that was shown to appellants during the course of the hearing, appellants were left with the impression that Ms. Ferguson had spoke poorly about appellants to the commission members. Appellants believe this is true based on the fact that Ms. Ferguson had previously written to (Continued from page 3) staff making personal attacks on appellants.

Hornsby, 52, has been the focus of a federal inquiry for the past year and a half after it was revealed that he had overseen the purchase of about $1 million in software and other products from Leap Frog School House while living with a saleswoman for that Emeryville, CA company.

He leaves the district in good financial shape and with improved test scores at nearly every grade level. However, Deasy’s term was not without controversy. His most notable struggle was his determined push to establish a “gift tax,” a program that takes a percentage of the voluntary donations from the district’s more affluent schools and redistribute the funds to schools with low-income parent/student populations. Deasy and the SMMUSD Board of Education adhere to the belief that the gift tax helps create more equity in educational opportunity throughout the district. This pledge to equity may have been a quality that made Deasy a strong candidate for the Prince George’s County superintendent position.

The idea has already encountered objections from shopping center owners, developers and other business interests who maintain there are ways to achieve the objectives, but without what they call onerous and unnecessary restrictions. Conley Ulich, who prepared the staff report for the agenda item—a somewhat unusual procedure— indicated that she would do all of the usual staff work to prepare an ordinance regarding formula retail and restaurant stores after compiling input from her colleagues on the council, the chamber of commerce, the economic advisory committee, the business roundtable and other community interest groups. “I think there is something the city can do about the closing of mom and pop outlets,” said Conley Ulich when discussing the matter with the council. “I am concerned the issue won’t be addressed.” In her staff report, Conley Ulich said the purpose of such a zoning law would be that it “serves the legitimate public purpose of keeping Malibu special and providing unique neighborhood- and community-serving businesses, as opposed to ubiquitous, non-unique stores and restaurants. The ordinance will foster the city’s goal of maintaining and preserving the uniqueness of Malibu.” Some council members said they really wanted to see more specific information. “I don’t know what is the objective. I like going to Subway,” said Mayor Andy Stern. “I think a lot of people like Starbucks. Some people were upset that Blockbuster left.” “I see a lot of problems here,” said Councilmember Jeff Jennings. “If there is only one [outlet] here, then allow no more? Is there a problem in town now?” Both Councilmembers Sharon Barovsky and Ken Kearsley suggested that a workshop be held to vet ideas with all of the interested parties. City Manager John Jalili suggested that part of the difficulty in discussing the matter in its current form is because there is nothing specific. “We can get community input from a workshop at some point in time,” he said. “The end game is to keep Malibu unique. To keep it from looking like Westlake,” countered Conley Ulich, who said she would not recommend making any ordinance retroactive. “There are too many legal issues. But what comes here, it would be here, but it would be unique,” she added. In her staff report, Conley Ulich included a memo from Vince Adams, explaining why he believes that Malibu can legally create a zoning ordinance that restricts development of formula retail stores and restaurants. Adams concluded that the courts have upheld such ordinances, and even the state court of appeals has ruled on the matter allow- ing such zoning. The council member, in her report to the council, also included the laws currently enacted by one dozen cities located mostly in California, but also several municipalities in the Northwest and on the East Coast.

MSN Photos/Frank Lamonea PAGE 14 MALIBU SURFSIDE NEWS FEBRUARY 23 • 2006 The Aquarium AGE The Week of February 23–March 1, 2006 E rratic planetary patterns transform the routines of daily life into a symphony of staccato rhythms that coalesce into a discombobulating atmosphere. Don’t be surprised if the days of the week lose their continuity, schedules seem detached from clocks, or accidents of the unusual kind interfere with “normal” procedures. What’s more, while being prepared for weirdness can often help to soften the shock, preparation for a poltergeist won’t necessarily forestall its appearance. As many of the loyal readers have probably guessed, Uranus is at the heart of these “paranormal” experiences. For those of you new to the astro-world, Uranus signifies eccentric, eclectic and electric currents of every ilk, and when it shares the same space with the Sun, it catalyzes unconventional behavior in sentient and non-sentient beings. But just because the toaster may not work and your usually reasonable significant other attempts appliance-healing with a sledgehammer, that doesn’t mean this Uranus/Sun conjunction isn’t without its perks. Both Uranus and the Sun symbolize cre- ativity, and when they join forces the ethers sizzle with innovation and invention, and that translates into nonstandard solutions to persistently puzzling problems. The creative brilliance of this Uranus/Sun conjunction in Pisces is hampered by a square from Mars in Gemini. Mars adds both might and fight, and that adds a cranky edge to the next several weeks, which means tempers are certain to ignite over perceived or actual causes. Whether or not moods stay heated is a matter of personal choice, as always, but letting go and truly releasing resentment is going to take skill, especially if blaming others is an unexamined habit. Because Pisces represents prisons of all types—imposed or self-created, physical, mental, emotional or spiritual—and because Uranus always stirs stagnant waters in need of change, this Uranus/Mars/Sun combination directly relates to the violence in prisons, as well as prison reform. Mars is in the Gemini, the sign of information, which unfortunately means we can anticipate even more disturbing news about Guantanamo and Abu Ghraib. As I write this, I don’t know how that’s possible, given that what we already know is impossible to believe and devastating to the heart. As is the collective inertia that still needs to be overcome before the critical mass of combined outrage can transform anger and despair into The PUZZLE Double-Headers ACROSS 1 7 13 19 20 21 22 24 25 26 27 29 30 32 34 36 37 39 42 45 47 48 49 50 51 53 56 57 58 60 62 63 64 65 66 67 69 71 73 74 78 81 82 83 84 85 86 87 89 90 91 Wrap up Game official Went easily Code of silence “Puh-leeze!” Recorded Tricycle upgrade?

Be prepared for other hungry ghosts to make an appearance over the next several weeks. Much was set in motion during the Saturn/Pluto square of August 2001–June 2002. And now, as 2006 unfolds, the consequences of those fear-based choices are likely to haunt us. The bad news is that so many lives have been so harmed. The good news is that we can still change our hearts and, rather than react with fear, learn to respond with love. If you know your ascendant and/or your moon sign, read that too. Aries (March 21-April l9): Intense internal conversations could lead to external blurts, especially if you demand rather than ask. So rather than insist on equal commitment, be aware that friends and associates may have additional responsibilities. Taurus (April 20-May 20): Yes, you see it differently, and yes, again, your opinion is formulated around consistent experience. But that’s still no reason to invalidate the opinions of others. Being kind will reap beneficial results. Gemini (May 21-June 21): You’re definitely at the helm of your personal Starship Enterprise, but that doesn’t mean you’re able to see the entire route. So rather than assume your authority blindly, stay humble and assemble a competent crew. Cancer (June 22-July 22): You’re chewing on a new perspective, and while some of the data is tough to digest, the majority of the information is nourishing. Take your time sorting through, and you’ll make this transition with skill. Leo (July 23-August 22): Being engaged with work that satisfies is the healthiest choice. Say “no” to idly wasting time and “yes” to whatever will make the best use of your intensity, and you’ll avoid becoming embroiled in needless controversy. Virgo (August 23-September 22): While you can expect surprising developments with partners, you can also anticipate your desire to succeed in negotiating these plot twists with a good attitude. Remember, winning is terrific, but not if it means losing your self-respect. Libra (September 23-October 22): That wanderlust needs to be satiated even if you can’t afford to travel. So rather than sulk, get out a good book or DVD set in India or Africa and let your imagination be the guide. Scorpio (October 23-November 21): You’re in the midst of renewed ambition to succeed and to be paid well for your efforts. And while there is no reason to suspect you won’t be successful, flexibility will help you handle any surprises. Sagittarius (November 22-December 21): “Expect the unexpected” is a cliche because it is true. And while I don’t want to worry you, unforeseen disagreements with significant others over whose needs are more important could be disruptive. Capricorn (December 22-January 19): Lots of people are blurting pent up emotions—you included—and some of what’s said is completely unfair. So try not to take everything that’s said to heart and, instead, shake off those harsh words the way a duck shakes water off its feathers. Aquarius (January 20-February 18): If you worry about money, you’ll only create worry, so instead of fretting about what you don’t have, be thankful for what’s yours. This isn’t about capitulation; it’s about acceptance, which can be a powerful antidote in times of uncertainty. Pisces (February 19-March 20): Don’t waste one moment trying to hold back your ideas and the passion to implement those plans. Yes, there will be certain startling developments, but you’re definitely up to coping with the unexpected. BY RALFEE FINN Need a bigger ?house? Want to go “country”?

OBITUARY Simon Francis Robinson S imon was born January 3, 1949 at home in his mother’s bed, like all the Robinson boys, in Ilkey, West Yorkshire, England. He died peacefully on February 15, surrounded by family and friends after a courageous five month battle with pancreatic cancer. He is survived by two daughters and a son, Rachel, Nina and Ian. He also leaves behind his father, John Robinson; brothers Kevin, Jonathan, Andrew; and little sister Joanne. Simon was a resident of Malibu for nearly 40 years. In this span of time he met and married Tammi Clenard, built a home, a family and a strong reputation. He was a good son, a loyal friend and a devoted father, brother and uncle. Quick with a joke, a smile, or a helping hand. Simon teamed up with life-long friend Scott Hally, and was greatly respected for his skilled craftsmanship and artistry in Masonry. He was an accomplished singer, guitarist and athlete, clocking in countless hours not searching for, but riding the perfect wave. So many knew Simon by his candor, fine work and friendship. He will be forever missed for his character, great sense of humor and generous heart. Simon was a rock. May our lord embrace Simon in heaven as a kind and worthy son.

PAGE 15 L-E-T-T-E-R-S to the E-D-I-T-O-R (Letters are continued from page 4) It amazes me that these people choose to embarrass themselves with a continuous series of silly letters to the editor attempting to justify the disharmony that they have created in our community. Please, let’s stop this nonsense. Gabrielle Harris, TRR Vice President Editor’s Note: From the vantage point of a longtime dog, horse and other livestock owner in Malibu, we find ourselves wondering whether all the participants in this never-ending dispute have “embarrassed” themselves. As for the “on the field” behavior of all parties, really now! Certainly, one can wonder whether any organization should collect dues from anyone to whom it doesn't intend to extend full rights of membership. Those rights include voting. And even in the contentious City of Malibu, a majority vote is not a “takeover.” Only the horses and the dogs have come through this brouhaha with their dignity intact. ISSUE ORIENTED Editor: I’m getting tired of cut-throat politics out to draw blood. I see election time as the opportunity to discuss issues and solutions and directions with the electorate. What I’d like to see from every candidate is a position paper telling us what they think is important to be done in the next four years and how they would do it if they were elected. Georgianna McBurney Editor’s Note: We completely agree. That’s why the “political” part of the letter was deleted. LEAGUE DRAFT Editor: Malibu Little League is about the kids, but the Malibu draft that just occurred reminds me of the major league on steroids. There are 12-year-olds in the minors playing along side first graders. There are nine-year-olds who weigh only 60 lbs playing next to 13-year-olds who outweigh them by 150 percent (middles). What are you thinking? I know my son could have physically made it in the middles, but I asked that he be held back to play within his own age group. That made a lot of sense to me but apparently not to the officials. He is one of the strongest nineyear olds you’ll meet but they put him on a team with first graders. Not only is that stupid, it is dangerous. Not only does it hurt the self-esteem of the 12-year-old who is playing on a team with first-graders, it endangers the whole program. I don’t want my son playing on a team with 13year-olds or seven-year-olds. The politics in Malibu Little League is incredible. This reflects on the organizers and coaches. Some people have these fantasies of their children playing in the big leagues but this is going too far. Malibu teams never seem to make it to the Little League World Series but the Westlake teams do quite often. Take a look at their program. They only play within their age groups (9-10) etcetera. It is for this reason that I am withdrawing my son from his team and have transferred him to the Westlake organization. He found a team that seems very happy with his late registration. It is a great team with very high skill levels and no first-graders or 12-year-olds. I don’t think many of the future star athletes from Malibu are going to be able to compete with the likes of my Esquerra nephews from Whittier and Pico Rivera for a spot on the Dodgers. That seems to be the way the world works. It is all about desire from within the child. Success is not something a parent can dream upon their child, but perspective is. Children have to have the dream themselves. All the pushing by parents will not make their children succeed in life. My daughter graduated from Malibu High, and is currently studying at Berkeley. Not once did I help her with her homework in high school. I never reviewed a test with her. I never looked at her college applications. I never bothered to ask her if she was going to class. The only thing I did was to ask her to compete fairly. Compete only because you want it, not because I want it for you. I have three parting suggestions. Coaches should not choose their own teams. I suggest a computerized lottery based upon performance evaluation from last season or tryouts this season. I also suggest moving to Pony Baseball that is generally preferred by parents and kids. Kids then play in an A or B division within their own age groups. Finally I suggest more facilities for our kids. Kids parks are more important than dog parks, and I suggest a community uprising if any money is spent on the dogs. I suggest all available money goes to kids. Steven Bard Paradise Cove Waters Still Fair Poorly Paradise Cove ocean waters continue to receive poor or failing grades on the weekly beach report prepared by Heal the Bay. For the past month, the cove waters have received either flunking grades or, as in the past two weeks, D marks. Failing grades were also given to Surfrider Beach at the breach location and Topanga State Beach. The grades were given during the recent spate of dry weather and do not reflect any recent runoff from winter storms. That contrasts with the rest of west Malibu beaches which scored A plus grades during the same time frame ending the week of Feb. 12. The rest of Malibu’s coastal waters also were given either top marks or good grades. Latigo Canyon at the creek entrance was given a B, while Puerco Beach at the lifeguard station by the bridge was awarded an A. Top marks were also given to Surfrider Beach at the Colony fence, a testing location 49 yards east of the Malibu Pier and at Big Rock Beach. All scored A pluses. Beaches are graded on an A-F scale based on the risk of ocean users becoming ill. Samples are analyzed for bacteria that indicate biological pollution. PAGE 16 MALIBU SURFSIDE NEWS FEBRUARY 23 • 2006 Sheriff’s REPORT CLIPPED CART Lost Hills Sheriff’s Station deputies were called to the mobile home park in Paradise Cove when a golf cart was stolen between 12 p.m., Jan. 27, and 10:30 a.m., Feb. 3. The tan-colored, 2001 vehicle, which was equipped with surf racks and valued at $4,000, was parked in its assigned parking space next to the residence. The mobile home is a second residence for the victim. The deputy on the scene noted that any golf cart key could have been used to start the vehicle. UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS A “theft by access card” report was made when the owner of a local bank checking card—after checking his account online—noticed that $700 in items had unknowingly been charged to his account. The report came from Pepperdine University and the victim stated that he did not authorize access to his card to anyone, nor did he have any idea who might have taken it. He then cancelled all his accounts at the bank. CAR CAPER A vehicle parked in east Malibu was burglarized on Feb. 15 between 8 and 8:30 p.m.while the victim was checking out the surf. The suspect stole more • than $1,260 in items from the front and back seats, including a dive tote, a dive kit, school books, a wallet containing a driver’s license and miscellaneous credit cards, a Palm Pilot and some clothing. The suspect gained access by shattering the front passenger window—causing $300 in damage— and unlocking the door. The victim told the deputy at the scene that he had locked all the doors before departing. The deputy checked for witnesses and was unable to locate any. TOOL TROUBLES Several tools, including two demolition hammers valued at $2,000, two framing nailers, worth $800, a $250 angle drill, a $180 hammer drill, a $380 tile saw, three circular saws valued at $630 and an air compressor worth $180, were taken from a Pacific Coast Highway residence between Feb. 9 at 7 p.m. and Feb. 10 at 2 a.m. Since the home is under construction and most doorways and windows were not in place, the point of entry and exit was difficult to ascertain. The suspect gained access to the garage, where all the tools were taken from, by prying the interior garage door open with an unknown tool. The three vehicular garage doors remained closed and secured. The deputy on the scene was unable to obtain any finger prints due to a lack of printable surfaces. He did however contact the victim’s neighbor who stated that he had entered the victim’s yard the night before at 10:30 p.m. and 12:30 a.m. because the smoke detectors, that had not been installed and were in the yard, had continuously gone off, so he removed the batteries. He had not seen any vehicles at the location. BY ROBBY MAZZA BAD CHECK RESTITUTION The district attorney’s office has, in recent years, reorganized the Bad Check Restitution Program for firsttime offenders by allowing them to avoid criminal prosecution if they make restitution to the victim, including the face value of the bad check and applicable bank fees, attend an eighthour intervention class designed to address the underlying behavioral causes of bad check activity and pay all program charges. The program is fully funded through the fees paid by the bad check writers. A check is eligible for the Bad Check Restitution Program if it was received in Los Angeles County, deposited in a bank in exchange for goods or services, and presumed good at the time of acceptance—there are no minimum restrictions based on the dollar amount; a courtesy notice was sent to the writer allowing at least 10 days to cover the check, it was submitted to the program within 120 days from the date on the check and a photo identification such as a driver’s license, military identification or state identification card was recorded at the time of the transaction. A check is ineligible if it is postdated; if both parties knew there were insufficient funds at the time of the transaction; it is an out-of-state, two party, rent, government or payroll check; the identity of the check writer is unknown; there is no amount, date or signature on the check; or it was not processed through the receiver’s bank or the check involves an extension of credit or payment on an account. Finally the district attorney’s office offers a few tips for check screening: get a complete street address, not just a P.O. box and verify the phone number; observe the check writer’s signature and make sure it matches the one on the identification, make sure that the figure and written amounts match, make sure the date is correct, postdated checks are not eligible and remember to be wary of new accounts—this can be ascertained by looking at the check number.
