Picking up messages

0

Give me a break! The message is what’s important here not the messenger! Suzi Landolphi’s message is about kids — female and male — respecting themselves and each other. It’s about self-esteem and values. It’s about choices and decision making. It’s about peer and media pressure and the ability to understand that ultimately, the responsibility and consequence of any action is our own. Do I care who gets these points across to my child? No! Not as long as he gets the point! Do I care if a little green Martian with tiny antennas sticking out of its head, opens my son’s eyes to all his options and alternatives when it comes to sexual activity? No! Not as long as it keeps my son’s attention. So if the messenger has to stride up and down the aisles, has to act, has to beg, plead, or stand on her head – I don’t care! So long as she/he gets their attention. So long as they sit still long enough to focus and actually hear the message. And making our kids listen, focusing their minds is imperative because the truth of the matter is that most kids of high school age tune out their parents (remember how we were not supposed to trust anyone over 30)? Do I care if the messenger has degrees from 16 universities? No! Not if they are dull and righteous and unrealistic (like the “Just Say No” groups). Do I want a messenger with a message that is fear-based? No! I want a coherent, accurate and humane message.

I won’t dignify a response to the silly Beavis and Butthead reference to my abilities as a mother. I won’t dignify a response to the even sillier notion that I view sexual education as “entertainment.” And for sure I won’t dignify a response to the insulting reference to my lack of deep spiritual beliefs — all because I have made the choice that my son will hear what I perceive as smart, intelligent and to the point presentation. I read on the Internet the SEICUS pages and I found that Ms. Landolphi adheres to them — perhaps with a bit more compassion and humor — but she still follows these sensible guidelines. I do agree that there should be a broader sex education program with more presentations. But we have to start somewhere, we have to start sometime and yesterday is not soon enough.

I want my son, and all sons and daughters, to hear the message that above and beyond anything else, their safety, their health and ultimately their lives are the most precious thing for them to have and ours as parents to guard.

Mission impossible

Recently, this memo was unearthed. Maybe it will help explain why a mission could never be built in Malibu.

To: Father Junipero Serra

From: Malibu Planning Commission

Re: Request to build one Mission-style building with red roof tiles and white exterior.

We regret to inform you that your request for a building permit has been denied. For an explanation, please refer to the following motion that was introduced by Commissioner Jo Ruggles and adopted as part of the Design Guidelines for Malibu’s Hillside Development Regulations by a 3-2 vote of the Planning Commission (Commissioners Kearsley and Lipnik voted against adoption):

“Building materials and colors blend with surrounding natural landscape, do not attract attention to themselves, and minimize visual impacts.”

Planning Director Craig Ewing’s interpretation of this guideline was that no white structures with red tile roofs are allowed to be built on Malibu hillsides.

Father Serra, your proposed color scheme for your mission has officially become a big no no, ranking right up there with mortal sin and Beelzebub. The operant words are “surrounding natural landscape, do not attract attention to themselves and minimize visual impacts.” It seems that your idea of a mission with red tile roofs and white walls does not readily blend with the surrounding natural landscape and certainly does not minimize visual impacts and just might attract attention to itself.

As an alternative for the mission, may we suggest that you consult your local army? We understand that they have some lovely surplus Quonset huts that are offered in a selection of devastating camouflage colors. If you put two of the Quonset huts side by side, you can still get that mission arch effect for which your previous missions are so well known. Maybe this will start a new architectural style, which can be called the California Mission Surplus Camouflage Quonset Hut Style.

If you choose to pick up your tiles and go play somewhere else, like Santa Barbara or Ventura, may we please use the little kiosk (with the red roof tiles removed, of course) at the entrance to your canyon? We need a building to house our newly established Malibu Paint Police.

Oh, there is one more small request: One of the commissioners has been deluged with complaints about your fellow friars. It seems that many people are disturbed about the sun reflecting off of those little bald spots on the back of the good padres heads. To minimize their visual impact, when they are laboring among the heathen in Malibu, would you kindly have them pull their hoods over their heads?

The only words that come to mind when considering this guideline: “Forgive them, Father Serra, for they know not what they do.”

Ken Kearsley,

planning commissioner

The wisdom of the young

Welcome to Reality.. It’s a hard place to be in, I understand. At the age of 18, I have experienced reality in Malibu. While I was a student at MHS, 10 of my schoolmates (that I know of) had abortions, five have had children and I would estimate that over 85 percent were having sexual intercourse (most of them unprotected). Before you get the misconception that the people I am talking about are children who were not raised right, I can safely assure you that most of them are church-going, conscientious students, varsity athletes, student council members — in other words, good kids. Their parents are admired members of our community. In fact, some of these kids and their parents are probably people you know — they may even be your friends.

I think “hand holding, hugging, and a kiss on the cheek” is great, but it’s also naive. MHS students are sexually active whether you like it or not. Kids need practical sex information to avoid making mistakes that can affect their entire lives. It sounds to me like this is what Suzi Landolphi is trying to do. If you believe that shielding kids from this type of sex education will keep them innocent, then you are sorely mistaken. They will just continue to get their information from other kids who are as misinformed as they are. Why in the world would you not want to give all of our students a safe environment where they can talk openly and freely about sex?

It boggles my mind that you — parents who love your children and want the best for them — cannot see how important this class is. Whenever there is a problem affecting kids at Malibu High — drugs, alcohol, bigotry — everyone jumps on the bandwagon to try to teach our kids how to prevent it. Well, “tears of sadness” should be coming to Mr. Stewart’s eyes because some kids who really need this information may not get a chance to hear it because of the fuss you have made over all of this. That’s sad. These meetings sounded more like episodes of Jerry Springer than serious discussions about sex information and how it benefits our children. For my generation, learning about safe sexual choices can be the difference between life and death.

With all due respect, I think people who deny the truth make America weak, not educators, not President Clinton and certainly not knowledge. Ignorance is the only thing that can hurt us. How many kids need to tell you that you are misguided, before you believe it? ASB president Jeremy Tarr put it perfectly, “You’re great parents trying to protect your kids, but you can’t protect them from sex. . . .”

You’ve probably heard this analogy, but in a way, it’s like having a swimming pool in your backyard. You can tell your kids not to go in the pool, you can build a fence around it, hey, you can even put a cover on it. But, if you think that there is any chance whatsoever that your children will find a way into the water, don’t you think you’d want to teach your kids how to swim? I hope you do . . . I really hope you do.

Commission goes back to nature — sometimes

0

In their quest to protect Malibu hillsides from inappropriate development, Planning Commissioners clashed Monday over what is “natural” and who will be the arbiters of architectural style.

Phrases adopted for the Hillside Ordinance guidelines, such as “natural colored material” and “natural appearing vegetation” seemed to trouble commissioners Ken Kearsley and Ed Lipnick throughout the meeting. “I’m against discretion on the part of the planning department,” said Lipnick. Added Kearsley, “It basically leaves it up to a bureaucrat sitting behind a counter in City Hall to decide all the parameters [of design].”

Kearsley expressed concern that such discretion could lead to arbitrary decisions by city planners. “One person might decide ‘Yes,’ one might decide ‘No,'” he said.

As an example, Kearsley pointed out that a senior city planner who spoke last month before the commission regarding a project on Cavalleri Road considered the white color of the project’s exterior walls to be an earth tone even though most of the commissioners would disagree. “If you don’t want white walls and red tile roofs, say it specifically up front,” said Kearsley.

Regulating color to such a degree would be legal, said City Attorney Christi Hogin. Many cities place similar limitations on development, she explained. The only legal requirement is that homeowners be left with a reasonable use of their property. “There’s no constitutional right to paint your house yellow. That’s clearly established law at this point,” she concluded.

The commission adopted guidelines for retaining and free-standing walls, landscaping, exterior lighting, manufactured slopes and perimeter fencing. Clustering of structures will be encouraged in order to preserve open spaces, existing vegetation and natural features. Views of canyons, hills, knolls and promontories from streets, highways, trails and public parks will also be protected by the guidelines.

The issues of ridge lines and window glare will be tackled at the next Planning Commission meeting, set for Nov. 16.

Existing structures will not be affected by the new guidelines. “This would only apply to new projects after the rules are in effect,” said Planning Director Craig Ewing.

In other matters, the commission unanimously denied a request to open a farmers market one morning every week at the parking lot of Bob Morris’ Beach Caf, formerly the Sandcastle, in Paradise Cove. “Our purpose is not to make money but to reinforce community spirit,” said Jim Adams, a representative of Bob Morris. Cove residents voiced concern about increased traffic and noise. Steven Kunes, president of the Cove’s homeowners association, explained that he had surveyed 78 residents and not one of them favored the open-air market. “That’s quite a percentage,” he said.

While all the commissioners wanted Malibu to have a farmers market, none of them wanted one in the Cove. “It’s a good idea but it’s in the wrong place in the wrong time,” said Kearsley.

No license to tax

On behalf of the Board of Directors of the Malibu Association Realtors, Inc., I am expressing our opposition to the proposed business license program for the city of Malibu as drafted by the Business Roundtable Subcommittee.

We understand that the objective of the meeting on Friday, November 6 is to vote on a recommendation to the City Council. Our Board Director, Kathryn Yarnell, Realtor, who is a member of the Business Roundtable, will represent the association’s views on our behalf at this meeting.

Through the California Association of Realtors, we have reviewed a great deal of research which was conducted statewide in 1997 on local business license taxes and its impact on local communities. The research indicates that many local governments have struggled to raise sufficient revenue to provide essential services. In the midst of this struggle, they often turn to methods and practices that are injurious to the real estate industry, business community and private property rights.

For the record, we oppose the proposed $50.00 annual fee for businesses either located in Malibu or located elsewhere and doing business in Malibu and the $25.00 annual fee for home-based businesses.

The above letter was sent to Mark Ball, chairman, Business Roundtable. We encourage all community members to voice your feelings by attending the meeting on Friday, Nov. 6 at 7:30 a.m. or contacting him by phone to express your views.

Beverly Taki, president
