Perturbed parent protests "Private Parts" perusal

0

Pressure from an angry parent has prompted the Malibu Library to move its bookmobile from the Malibu Community Center location.

The bookmobile had been visiting the Community Center location since 1992, when budget cuts forced the closure of Point Dume library. When Point Dume Marine Science Elementary School opened at the Community Center location, the bookmobile played a prominent role. “Classes came every Tuesday,” said Community Library Manager Corinna Chaney. “They came with a teacher’s aide and they would check out age-appropriate material.”

But Chaney received a complaint last month after a 9-year-old student checked out the CD soundtrack of Howard Stern’s movie, “Private Parts.” “It was returned to us in pieces,” said Chaney, “by a very upset patron.”

That patron was the 9-year-old’s mother, who reportedly found photos in the CD cover objectionable. Chaney said there are safeguards in place to prevent children from checking out material that parents may find offensive. Parents must give written permission before anyone under the age of 18 is given library privileges. Beyond that, she said, the responsibility lies with the parent. “The county policy is that it’s not the library’s responsibility to monitor what the child checks out,” said Chaney, who said the student’s parent had given permission for the child to check out library material.

“We’re not a school library, we’re a public library. We have many different needs in the community and we try to fill all of those,” said Chaney. “He had carte blanche to take whatever he wanted from the library.”

Chaney said if she notices a child with library material that is unsuitable, she will discourage the student from checking it out or suggest that he or she asks a parent. But, she added, “If a kid has full library privileges and is dead set on checking something out, there’s nothing we can do about it.”

Chaney said she spoke with the school’s principal and decided to look for another spot to park the bookmobile. The school now has its own library and the Community Center occupies only a small portion of the property. Starting Nov. 1, the bookmobile will stop at Point Dume Plaza, near Westward Ho market.

Chaney said many Point Dume residents are annoyed by the cause of the move. “It was one angry woman. It was blown all out of proportion,” said Chaney. “Nobody has ever complained before.”

“I’m really upset about it. We use it almost every week. I ride my bike with my kids,” said Teresa Carrigan, mother of three. “If they move it up to the store, we won’t be able to use it anymore.”

Although the move will inconvenience some, it may help others. Chaney said there are a large number of senior citizens who may find it easier to visit the bookmobile at its new location. “I’m hoping there’s a whole market that we haven’t touched,” said Chaney. “Maybe it will be a help.”

The bookmobile will keep the same schedule, visiting Point Dume Plaza Tuesdays from 10 a.m. – noon and 1:30 – 4 p.m.

TLC at the ER

I’d like to comment on the treatment I received at the Malibu Saint John’s Health Center. Last Friday, after suffering from excruciating pain from a rib injury, I finally decided I’d better see a doctor to find out if any of the ribs were fractured. Having sustained the injury on the previous Saturday, and seeing the pain was getting only worse, I felt I had to do “something” about it.

A week prior to that, my houseguest went to Saint John’s Health Center after contracting one of those nasty respiratory bugs, so I decided to give it a try myself. We all know what a drag it is to go to any E.R. facility the hospitals offer. If you arrive even halfway ambulatory, you are faced with all sorts of forms to fill out and endless hours of waiting in abject misery and discomfort. It’s enough to make you even sicker.

My experience at the health center was a revelation. The waiting time was minimal, the attention and care given made me think that’s how health care must have been decades ago, before HMOs and huge medical conglomerates, when the patient was treated and viewed as an individual rather than a biological cipher.

The attending physician, Dr. Gillingham, couldn’t have been more solicitous and reassuring and I’d like to express my sincere thanks for the excellent care I was given. I just hope the center will always be there and I think we who live in Malibu and have the need for such a facility should make sure it remains where it is.

The Malibu Real Estate Report: 1998 Dollar Volume Far Exceeds ’97 Production/

0

It took only 8-1/2 months of heavy real estate activity this year to surpass the 1997 totals for overall sales volume of Malibu single family residences.

Perhaps all of us in the real estate industry can take the rest of the year off? By the end of September, the total volume of homes sales had reached about $330 million locally. That exceeded the total for all of 1997: $306 million.

Homes sales on both the beach and the landside have bested last year’s results. Including the final three months, 1998 will reign as the heaviest sales and dollar volume year in Malibu history!

(Research of real estate articles earlier in the decade indicate that even the peak years of 1989 and 1990 produced fewer sales and dollar volume than present. Average sale prices, however, were slightly higher than they are currently.)

Last year, approximately 49 homes sold at the beach for about $127,000,000. The average sale price was $2.6 million.

In 1998, through nine months, 48 home sales could be detected, at a total volume of $143 million. Average sale price for a beach property has risen to almost $3 million.

The landside reflects similar trends. 1997 landside sales numbered about 221, adding up to $179 million in dollar volume. Through September of this year: 208 sales for $185 million. The average sale of a Malibu home off the beach has increased from about $810,000 to $893,000.

How much have prices increased this year, using the mean averages? On the beach, up 15 percent. On the landside, up 10 percent. Overall, the average home sale for both categories has increased from $1,134,000 to $1,286,000, a leap of about 13.4 percent.

Median averages, which represent more typical activity, are excluded from these numbers, which are weighted heavily by the propensity of high-priced beach and estate sales in 1998. Actually, about half the home sales in Malibu are below the $800,000 benchmark. Plentiful estate sales drive the averages up.

Virtually every home on the market during 1997-1998 was tracked for this study. Sales records were retrieved primarily from the Multiple Listing Service over the course of the past two years but also from information provided from title searches of public records and other sources. Listings that are single family residences in the 90265 zip code were compared, within and outside of Malibu city limits.

Increases in values of 10-15 percent in both 1997 and 1998 has done much to recover the 35 percent to 40 percent losses suffered in the dreadful depression of 1991-1996, when prices slumped each year.

Beating the 1997 tallies is worthy of celebration. When the market suddenly turned in spring 1997, the year saw 270 home sales at more than $300 million in volume (excluding sales of condos, mobile homes and vacant lots, as well as lease activity). Those numbers may well have set local records.

By the official end of this summer, we had shattered those totals. Activity has been steady all year, with no weak months. While hints of market cooling abound, and some new sellers are listing at exaggerated prices, the year will still see more than 300 homes sold and a staggering $400 million in volume.

The highway has had little effect on local sales (other than perhaps tempting some locals to sell and bail out of town and often delaying showings 20-30 minutes). While highway nuisances are already factored into local values to some degree, the fact that the highway has stayed open all but a couple weeks diminishes the potential damage wrought upon Malibu sales. The delays and aggravation, all known to be temporary, have not been significant factors in buying decisions.

Rick Wallace has been a Realtor at Fred Sands Malibu office for 11 years and a Malibu resident for 23 years.

Vote (early but not often)

0

Of all the decisions any of you are going to make this election year, the most important by far is the Congressional race in which the incumbent freshman congressman Brad Sherman is being challenged by software mogul Randy Hoffman. The race transcends the two men involved. It really is a plebiscite on the question of the impeachment of President Bill Clinton.

A vote for Hoffman is a vote to impeach Clinton. A vote for Sherman is a vote to continue Clinton in office. That’s the way the vote is going to be understood and read in Washington D.C. The vote in our Congressional district and a few other similarly situated swing districts will send a message to both the House and Senate, and most certainly they’ll use it to help themselves decide the impeachment question. As for me, I wish Clinton had resigned, but I think it would be a disaster for the country if he were impeached, which is the reason I endorse Sherman.

There is another race, a local race, in which I wish another incumbent had decided not to run. Our sheriff, Sherman Block, is a man who has served this county long and well, but he never should have run for re-election. His health is failing rapidly, the department is drifting and it needs newer, younger leadership. The only way to get that is to vote for former chief Lee Baca.

Proposition 3.

I got this wrong last week. This is actually a proposition to restore the partisan primary, but I still have the same opinion. If Sen. Burton and Bruce Herschensohn can agree, it’s probably a good idea. Vote Yes.

Proposition 4 — Trapping Practices

While most of us who wish to protect wildlife abhor the use of leghold traps and poisons, this proposition would do little to ensure more humane methods for the licensed trapping of fur-bearing animals, currently permitted under state law, and the management of rogue animals.

State Fish and Game officers currently use cage traps wherever possible to remove and relocate bears, mountain lions and other predators that have killed livestock, domestic animals or that threaten humans. Landowners are permitted to shoot any such animal that poses a threat. Wildlife experts say this proposition would ban tools needed to conserve threatened and endangered species and force cruel alternatives to control problem predators, including traps that kill. And the cost to taxpayers of enforcing this law is prohibitive. Vote No.

Proposition 6 — Horses

This is another unneeded measure sponsored by animal rights activists with good intentions. It would ban the transport of horses to slaughterhouses where the meat would be used for human consumption. California has no such plants. There is no law prohibiting the use of horse meat for pet or human consumption, nor should there be, even though most people find this repugnant. Vote No.

Proposition 7 — Air Quality Improvement

If we want clean air, we’ve got to be prepared to pay for it, so this rather modest proposal sounds like a sensible proposition to me. Vote Yes.

Proposition 8 — Public Schools

This is the governor’s proposition, and he absolutely hates the California Teachers Association. This rather convoluted measure is an attempt to make their lives miserable. It is nasty, badly thought out and takes power and authority away from the local school districts and centers it in Sacramento where it doesn’t belong. A definite No.

Proposition 9 — Electric Utilities

This one is so confusing, I certainly can’t figure out its impact. So follow that old adage, “When in doubt, vote ‘No.'” This is absolutely the kind of very complex issue we shouldn’t have to deal with on a ballot proposition.

Proposition 10 — State & County Early Childhood Development Programs

This is the Rob Reiner proposition, and I think the extra money from cigarette taxes will do wonders to help the children of California. The proposition could be better written, but the opposition arguments are typical tobacco industry palaver. Vote Yes.

Proposition 11 — Local Sales & Use Tax Revenue Sharing

Hopefully, if this passes, cities will get together and jointly share revenue from the “Big Box” retailers, and those same retailers won’t be able to play the cities off against each other quite as easily. No one knows if it will work, but it’s worth the try. Vote Yes.

Proposition A — The MTA

This is Zev Yaroslavsky’s proposition to stop the subway. The MTA has become just about the largest pork barrel in the history of Los Angeles and is rife with corruption. It’s got to be cleaned up and stopped, and this is the only way to do it. Vote Yes.

School Elections. I must confess I have a terrible way of evaluating school elections, since I frequently don’t know very much about the candidates. I want board members who at least know that Malibu exists and then consider us in their decision making process. I look to see who advertises their candidacy in the local Malibu papers. I don’t care which paper. I just want to see that Malibu crosses their radar screen and the best measure of that is where they put their money. Based upon that rather primitive analysis, I calculate:

For Santa Monica Community College Board of Trustees

Joe Girard

Carole Currey

Herb Roney

Dorothy Ehrhart-Morrison

For SM-Malibu Unified School District

Karen Paris

Tom Pratt

Pam Brady

Julia Brownley

Most of all, get to the polls, and make certain to vote Yes on all the justices.

Vote for the kids

As a homeowner and the parent of three children in Malibu public schools, I am enthused and concerned, respectively, about the potential outcomes for Proposition X on the Nov. 3 ballot. While there is no formal opposition to this school bond measure – in large part, because it will cause no net increase in our property taxes – the impact of this decision, either way, will be strongly felt.

My enthusiasm comes from the improvements that will be made to our local schools if this bond measure does pass! All three elementary schools will gain much-needed classroom space, and will benefit from enhancements to facilities ranging from earthquake and safety upgrades to increased space for enrichment and after-school activities. Malibu High School will add a 10-classroom building and a high school-quality gymnasium and track, as well as update its auditorium. How proud we will all be of the educational standards that can be met with these improvements, and of the students that benefit from them!

My concern stems from the possibility that Proposition X may not pass. As with all bond measures, it requires the approval of 67 percent of the voters. Although residents of our district have made education a high priority in the past, it is always a challenge to achieve the necessary result at the polls. If the bond loses by even 1 percent, our schools will continue to be vastly overcrowded. Currently, the high school has 25 percent more students than it was built to accommodate! Children are taught in the teachers’ lounge and in gymnasium team rooms. Point Dume did not receive the basic improvements from the ES bond, as it had not reopened yet, and is in desperate need of reconstruction. Some improvements are mandated by law, and without this bond the district will need to squeeze funds from its annual operating budget, taking from current programs.

Of course, the benefits of strong public schools go to those without school-age children, as well. We will all see our property values enhanced, and, due to the refinancing of previous debt at lower interest rates, we will not see our property taxes rise above current levels. Also, a portion of the bond proceeds will go directly to improving recreational facilities on school grounds, which will increase the ability of the community to share in their usage.

Please vote “Yes on X”, and remember – your vote doesn’t count unless you send in your absentee ballot on time or make it to the polls on Nov. 3!

Mending Moves: Fresh Starts for Mothers and Daughters

0

My cousin doesn’t speak to her mother. It exploded the eve of my uncle’s funeral, when my cousin attended her husband’s singing engagement at a nightclub. Her mother’s needs were not attended. More than a dozen years have passed since.

A lovely friend rents a home from her parents. She’s a great cat lover, but her mom doesn’t want animals on the property. The woman doesn’t want to “rock the boat.”

Another pal has a warm relationship with her mom, although she knows well her mother’s shortcomings. Despite this, she can’t seem to help herself from repeating parenting blunders with her teen-ager. She sometimes feels it’s like “flying blind.”

I was not raised by my mother. A multitude of mistakes already has been committed in the mothering of my own young daughter. Where does one go from here?

Those looking for positive endings to these and their own stories will find help in “Mending the Broken Bough: Restoring the Promise of the Mother- Daughter Relationship” (Berkley/Penguin Puttnam; 1998), by Barbara Zax, Ph.D. and Stephan Poulter, Ph.D.

The doctors are in.

“Mending the Broken Bough” is unlike what’s out there in women’s magazines, in parenting magazines or in single volumes of self-help. It doesn’t just tackle anger, anxiety, depression, self-image or sexuality; the book takes on these topics and more expansive ones.

Early chapters explore the concept of attachment; the development of self- image nurtured or hindered by various mothering styles; the ways families interact productively or disengage communication and the multigenerational evolution of family life.

Later chapters are devoted to the “rules” passed from mother to daughter; the concepts of separation and independence; the “stumbling blocks” that seem to prevent resolution and lastly, reconciliation.

The first-time authors conducted nearly seven years of research to compile the book; it’s little wonder the result is comprehensive. Case histories examine minor and major conflicts underlying relationships. Those with no psychology background as well as those who’ve experienced psychotherapy benefit from insights into feelings of abandonment, envy, deficiency and guilt.

The guide is well laid out. Its subheadings, bullets, charts and lists make for an easy read. Perhaps its best feature is “Mending Moves.” Short, practical suggestions on how to strengthen the mother-daughter bond appear throughout.

Men, too, can get a clue. The book is for husbands who grab the golf clubs every time their mothers-in-law visit. It’s for the boyfriend who says, “See ya” when his girlfriend suggests he join her for dinner at Mom’s. It’s for the dad who thinks his mother-in-law is whacked, his wife is nuts and their daughter is just as goofy.

“Every woman is a daughter,” says Poulter. “Every daughter has a mother and has to reconcile with that mother both internally and externally. The cycle of blaming and mother-bashing is nonproductive.

“As men, the better we understand that’s it all connected, the more we can become better sons, husbands, fathers and grandfathers.”

Point Dume residents complaining of speeding drivers racing through their streets may have themselves, in large part, to blame. Sheriff’s Lt. Thom Bradstock told the City Council Monday that most of the traffic offenders to whom his deputies have issued tickets in the past 30 days live on the Point. Most of the others are employed by residents who live there.

For the past month, sheriff’s deputies, at additional city expense, have been patrolling the streets of Point Dume, during the morning and afternoon hours, to curb speeding and issue tickets for moving violations, especially near the elementary school.

Bradstock said over the period 42 tickets were issued, 39 of which were for speeding. Sixty percent of the speeders apprehended turned out to be Malibu residents, most of whom live on Point Dume. The other traffic offenders were heading to or from maintenance or construction jobs at Point Dume homes. Bradstock said the speeders were traveling between 40 and 51 miles per hour in a 30-mile-per-hour zone.

The council members asked Bradstock whether the additional sheriff’s presence was working. “There is a marked decrease in speed,” he said. “So it’s having an effect.”

The additional sheriff’s patrol will continue. Councilman Harry Barovsky asked Bradstock to provide in his next report the street names on which the traffic offenders live. By law, the police cannot provide the names of traffic offenders.
