State Supreme Court Review of Appellate Ruling
on City Council Term Limits Law to Be Sought
■
Both Sides Agree That the Possibility of High Court Review Is Extremely Low
W
hile acknowledging that
the chances are slim,
Richard Carrigan, a former Malibu planning commis-
RICHARD CARRIGAN
sioner, announced this week that
he and his attorney will ask the
state Supreme Court to review the
appellate court ruling on the city’s
term limits provisions putting
Councilmember Sharon Barovsky
back on the ballot.
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

she wants to say.

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

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

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

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.”

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.

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.

BILL LECONTE
Historian and Civil War
reenactor Bill LeConte
works as a checker at
How’s Market in Malibu
West.
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.
There is one event each
month between February
and October all over the
State of California. The
next event will focus on
California’s part in the
Civil War with Company B
of the 2nd Regiment at
Fort Tejon on Sunday,
March 5, 2006, 10 A.M. to
3:00 P.M.
Reenactors are always
looking for new recruits.
Those interested should
check online 6thWisconsin.com, or Forttejon. org.
NEW MEMBERS—The Malibu Woman’s Club recently

council over procedural
issues.
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.

to the planning commission,”
he said, adding, “The trail

way to avoid visual impact is

Other council members
apparently concurred and the

turn down the appeal.

scope of the proposed development is not consistent
with neighborhood standards and should be reduced.
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

staff making personal attacks
on appellants. Commission
members should have

Local Frosh Takes Bootleg Race
BUILDING FOR THE FUTURE—Members of local Boy Scout Troop 224 are
busy constructing an amphitheater in Charmlee Park. The project is providing
an opportunity for the boys to use their skills as well as bringing David Swartout,
center kneeling, closer to becoming an Eagle Scout.
Deasy Departs District
(Continued from page 2 )
which is the second largest in
Maryland, serves more than
133,000 students, 80 percent
of which are African American. Hispanic students are
rapidly gaining second place
among other racial groups.
Prince George’s County’s most recent test scores
demonstrate wide racial
and ethnic disparities in
the students’ academic
performance.
Among Deasy’s challenges in his new position
will be to follow departing
superintendent Andre Hornsby, who has resigned amid an
ethics controversy.
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.

Hornsby did not disclose
the relationship with the
saleswoman to the Prince
George’s County school
board before the deal was
made. Subsequently, he has
denied wrongdoing and said
he had acted only to obtain
the latest technology to help
students master basic skills.
The investigation of
Hornsby comes as the Prince
George’s County district
faces complex fiscal and educational challenges.
However, Deasy has
weathered notable fiscal disasters and educational roadblocks in the SMMUSD.
In a telephone interview
on Thursday, Feb. 16, hours
after the announcement of
his new position was made
public, Deasy expressed
FIRST PLACE—Taylor Woods, 15, a freshman at Malibu High School, placed

Nevada last Saturday. Woods claimed the top spot in the 15–18 year old division with a time of four minutes and 43 seconds.
how emotional it was for
him to depart from the
SMMUSD and the work he
has accomplished here.
“Leaving [SMMUSD]
was one of the most difficult
decisions I have ever had to
make,” he stated. “I have a
good board, two great cities
and a community with high
expectations. I tried to give a
great deal, and I got more
back.”
When asked how he
would face what must be
daunting challenges in the
17th largest school district in
the nation, he answered,
8 T H
“Focus on systems that
provide equity and access,
and target low-performing
schools first.”
That is exactly the method
Deasy used so effectively in
the SMMUSD.

of schools for the 14,000-student SMMUSD, Deasy has
been extraordinarily effective. 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. That school system,

Study for Ban on Formula Retail Stores and Restaurants OK’d
■ Member of City Council Will Do the Research Instead of Assigning the Matter to Staff
A
fter a somewhat
lengthy discussion
about what Councilmember Pamela Conley
Ulich’s motivations are for
pursuing an ordinance to
regulate formula retail
stores and restaurants, the
Malibu City Council last
week gave the nod for the
newest member of the
council to pursue the research and come back with
a draft ordinance.
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.

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

positive action and healing remedies. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
For more information on the Bad
Check Restitution Program, call 800842-0733.

ANNOUNCEMENTS
ASTROLOGY
SAVE A LIFE
S
Looking for a treat in life? Give yourself some fun
and come visit the Agoura Animal Shelter's cat
room. So many cats, so hard to pick. This wonderful
room is full of the most beautiful kitties. When you
walk in they run over for some love. This boy loves
to nap in the sun in his favorite basket. He's only 3
years young and so gorgeous. Sweet. Loves a good
head rub. Make your day, bring him home! Adopt
him at #A3481048
Another great buddy at the shelter! And she really is
a Princess. Princess is a 5 year old German
Shorthair Pointer mix. SHe is really the perfect
medium size for a great companion dog. Short coat,
good for summer! Easy maintenance. 5 years a
wonderful healthy age for a dog. They finally mellow
out and just want to be by your side. Give Princess a
chance, she will make you feel like royalty! Adopt
her at #A3467654
T
hese dogs need you more than ever! Unfairly, dogs who are a few years old do not get adopted
easily and they make the very best pets. Calm, loving, trained and healthy. Please give our
wonderful friends here a chance at love and life. Their time at the shelter is limited, they truly need
an open heart and loving friend. To save an animal friend is the least that we can do.
Neither The News nor any of the animal volunteers can determine the
appropriateness of a particular animal for a prospective adopter.
