    This letter is in response to your recent article regarding the Streisand Center for Conservancy Studies. The generous donation of this property by Barbra Streisand has greatly helped to further environmental education and awareness in the Santa Monica Mountains. This original intention remains the Center’s primary goal.

    Less than six percent of the time the center is used for special events. The center is not used for commercial purposes. From its headquarters on the property, the Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy furthers its mission of land conservation and environmental preservation.

    Poetry in disGeisel

      0

      I wrote nine months ago that “A person’s a person, no matter how small!”

      Theodor Geisel, a.k.a. Dr. Seuss, would say, “Children want the same things we want. To laugh, to be challenged, to be entertained and delighted.” Brilliant, playful and always respectful of children, Dr. Seuss charmed his way into the consciousness of four generations of youngsters and parents. I am both one of those youngsters and parents. He helped me learn to read and thus to think and write. In 1957, Dr. Seuss’s “The Cat In The Hat” was published and went on to become one of the most popular books ever printed. This beloved book combined an engaging story with outrageous illustrations, playful sounds and embraced many a truth. How would Theodor Geisel have portrayed the present confession to the love-making scandal in the White House? What truth would the Cat In The Hat evangelize on the subject? With apologies to Theodor Geisel, I now offer you an updated version of the original prose, Ken Starr You Are, You Are, now entitled, “I’m A Sinner, I Am, I Am.”

      President Clinton I have proven as you will see,

      You did grope and fondle Miss Lewinsky?

      You did grope her in the White House,

      You did grope Miss Monica beneath her blouse?

      Kenneth Starr I confess I did that here or there,

      I will no longer dispute your charges anywhere!

      Yes, I touch Monica close and far

      I even touched her with a cigar.

      Mister Clinton, you did smile, you did flirt?

      You even peeked beneath Monica’s skirt?

      Maybe you didn’t tell Miss Lewinsky to lie,

      Yet she was still called upon to testify?

      Lord forgive me Ken Starr-You-Are

      But you have pushed me way too far.

      I am now a reborn Christian man,

      Of broken spirit, I hold God’s hand!

      I have asked forgiveness from this land

      I’m a sinner Mr. Starr, I am, I am.

      Tom Fakehany

      Love will find a way

        0

        Two years ago, I met a very special girl who lived halfway around the world. Two years ago, I began to understand the true meaning of love. You see, you cannot experience love unless you are willing to surrender to it. I had always been afraid to trust or to believe in anything other than my family and myself, especially when it embraces love and those feelings you cannot control. To love is to take a leap of faith, faith in the one you love, faith in yourself and God and faith that together all things are possible. I am writing to you all because I need your help. I need your help to continue my own leap of faith.

        She is almost perfect with a heart and soul as pure as snow and a beauty that reaches far beyond the horizon. She was on an exchange program, working as an au pair. I met her by chance and we became the best of friends. I was too afraid of rejection and of falling in love so I never let her know that I was in love with her the moment I looked into her eyes. Shortly after meeting her, I had to return home due to a family illness. While returning home I did not know if I would ever see her again. I was somewhat relieved that at least I did not open myself up to her, however, I knew she was one of a kind and that I would always wonder “what if.” Shortly thereafter, her family sent her on a trip to their favorite destination so she could see other parts of the U.S. – my home town. The family had no idea I was from there. That weekend she flew to Santa Fe, I let her know that she was the greatest gift God has ever given me besides my family. I told her that I loved her. We were together. Though I had to remain home and help my parents, one of us flew out to see the other almost every other weekend. After almost a year, she could no longer wait for me to return to Malibu. Her visa had expired. Thanks being to God, my parents had a remarkable recovery and I was able to return to Malibu and spend the last month with the greatest person I have ever met. She is currently back home in Norway, and though we speak almost every night, it is very frustrating to be so close and yet so far from the one thing in life that makes me want to wake up each morning and journey through another day. I currently have a full time job and work on the weekends. I am willing to do just about anything during week nights to make money so that I may fly to Norway and ask my best friend to marry me. At present, I have no idea what her answer will be, only that I need to let go of the fears that hold me back, both in love and in life. I can not afford to miss any more work, so I wish only to fly to Norway and return immediately.

        Hopeful in Malibu

        Salem revisited

          0

          What is it in the American mentality that is so susceptible to witch hunts, whether it be the Salem Witch Trials, the House on Un-American activities or the MacMartin School trial? It is as if an ill wind blows across the American mind, clouding its judgment as to the implications of its behavior. There seems to be a blood lust that is inescapably drawn out of the American populace which becomes like an opiate wherein all judgment is skewed. The dark side of reason takes center stage, wherein manipulation, thirst for power and self-righteous aggrandizement are temporarily viewed as representing the will or interest of the people.

          After the fact, after the damage is done, after lives are ruined or lost, there is always a period of contrition, of questioning how did this happen. This too often repeated theme in American behavior is a sad commentary as to how shallow or cowardly the populace becomes during these cultural storms, leaving intact far too long the ambitions of individuals who represent the worst of human avarice and self-importance.

          All witch hunts have justified their existence as a search for the truth, all have accused their victims of being evil or immoral. Now we have the Kenneth Starr investigation touted as the righteous search for the truth behind circumstances. As with all other witch hunts we must examine the motives of the players involved. What is the agenda of this inquisition? Is it a search to find truth, as claimed, or to achieve a desired aim? Is Ken Starr simply doing his job without bias and with equanimity? Are the forces behind this investigation pure in their objective? Or has the Starr inquiry stepped over the line into the realm of manipulation to justify subverting the electoral will of the American people and thus become a key player in the first attempt to use the judicial and political institutions of this country to instigate a political coup? To depose a president in any way possible, without consideration of the greater question of what are the underlying values that constitute a democracy? Is an invasion of privacy, a complicated and systematic hammering away at the integrity and personal life of an individual an acceptable means to an end for those entrusted to carry out the nation’s judicial work? Is a $50 million investigation obliged to find illegality to justify its own existence? Or has the money been spent to arrive at what we have now, a seeming justification for those with political agendas, or with personal antipathy toward President Clinton to wrap themselves with righteous indignation and a “profound responsibility to the truth and the nation.” To do what they have always desired, which is to cripple this presidency and thus empower themselves.

          It is not lost on those who watch this spectacle that the Democratic Party is suffering from a cowardice, reminiscent of those who remained silent when Joe McCarthy was in full bloom, and that the Republicans are trying desperately to contain their excitement and sense of opportunity to sit in judgment of a man they have grown to fear and hate. The media almost appears comic in its sputteringly grave commentaries. The demand that they appear impartial while at the same time being so obviously told by their bosses to fan the flames of controversy so as to try and produce a 24-hour soap opera of the nation’s affairs must be exhausting. One begins to question, where are the Edward R. Murrows, the adult members of the media who have the ability to see beyond the present dust storm, who know something of history and are able to actually step out and call a witch hunt a witch hunt? Although certain behavior might be questionable or unfortunate, it is not of a gravity which should empower the dark side of American history to repeat itself. If it does, even those who feel righteous now, in time will come to wish that they had used this opportunity to be statesmen rather than politicians, journalists rather than sheep.

          City took a hit on Las Flores settlement

          0

          Recently disclosed details of a lawsuit settlement indicate the city and its insurance companies paid a premium for not settling at the first opportunity.

          The city of Malibu paid $4.195 million in July to settle the lawsuit brought by homeowners on Las Flores Canyon Road whose properties were flooded after a landslide blocked water from flowing down the creek.

          “If we could have [settled back then], we would have,” said City Attorney Christi Hogin, but the city’s insurance companies were opposed. According to Hogin, of the $4.195 million ultimately paid, $400,000 came from the city’s general fund, with the rest split among two commercial insurance companies and a “joint powers authority” made up of a group of municipalities, including Malibu, that insure themselves in a collective fund.

          “It’s been a long and winding road [but] I’m pleased with the settlement,” said Hogin. It was reached after almost eight years of litigation. Said plaintiffs’ attorney Craig Collins of Berger & Norton, “They were exhausted by it and financially desperate in some cases.”

          What caused the landslide remains in dispute. According to Collins, it started in the mid-1980s after the county made cuts into the hillside west of the creek to repair Rambla Pacifico Road. Collins argued the cuts undermined support of the hillside, which began sliding easterly into the creek.

          The city argued, “If it’s not an act of God, then it’s an act of the county.” The county cut into the hillside before Malibu was even incorporated, said Hogin. The court of appeal 2 2 ruled that the city stepped into the county’s shoes after incorporation.

          The county settled with the homeowners in 1996 for $2 million up front plus a promise of $3 million more if the city was not found liable. The city could have joined the settlement back then, according to Collins, but refused to do so. “The city could definitely have settled for less money two years ago,” he said.

          More than money changed hands because the city acquired the plaintiff homeowners’ properties in exchange. “For the plaintiffs, the case is about money,” said Hogin, but for the city the ultimate agenda is to stabilize the continuing landslide, to create an alternate access road for Rambla Pacifico and possibly to change the drainage in the area. “I’ve said all along that this problem is not going to be solved in the courtroom,” Hogin said.

          License law is last straw

            Well, as “The Gipper” used to say. . . there you go again! Our local Malibu thieves — otherwise known as politicians — are looking to stick their hands in our pockets. A new business license fee has been proposed. Great timing Sherlock! Our road is all but closed, our local merchants are struggling, the stock market is melting down, world economies are crumbling, even our illustrious leader and chief womanizer, “Slick Willie,” announced days ago the world is facing the worst economic crisis since World War II, and it’s all heading to our doorstep. And our elected Malibu officials are looking for ways to raise taxes? The fee is only $50 they argue — well, that’s a dinner out (at least a partial dinner) at one of Malibu’s local restaurants for me and my family. I don’t know about you, but I’d rather spend my hard-earned $50 on Taverna Tony or TraDiNoi or Giorgio than a new business tax! I’m sure local Malibu merchants will agree with me! But wait, we’ve got more logic coming from the dunces who support their tax. Get a load of this brilliant reasoning as quoted in last week’s Malibu Times: “Local businesses will benefit. City officials could more easily notify them of relevant changes in laws.” What changes? No law created by government has ever changed in my favor. I’m better off not hearing the changes. With thinking like that, Mr. Peacock is missing his calling. He should head to Washington and head up Mr. Clinton’s defense team!. I’m sure he also believes lying under oath, obstruction of justice and witness tampering isn’t a crime.

            Mr. Peacock was quoted as saying, “Wyatt Earp has come to town.” Well I’ve got news for you, Wyatt. Jesse James just rode in! I’d suggest you get out of town fast! Your new pet project is dead on arrival! Please print my address under my letter. I’m ready to organize a posse to throw these bums out. If you agree with me, let’s meet and organize ASAP. I’m not paying the city of Malibu $50 or 50 cents. Hear me loud and clear, Mr. Peacock & Co: “Get your hands out of my pocket. Enough is enough!” It’s time for the homeowners, business owners and beleaguered taxpayers to take our government back from the pompous morons who want to steal our hard-earned money. Malibu taxpayers the buck stops here — let’s unite ASAP. I await your letters.

              Bay Company offers a model city

              0

              Tired of waiting for the City Council to draw up a Civic Center Specific Plan, the Malibu Bay Company has submitted an application to develop the area. For the past 2-1/2 years, development projects had been on hold. “We were hopeful that the Specific Plan Advisory Council recommendations would result in the adoption of a Specific Plan,” said David Reznick of the Malibu Bay Company. “The council appears to have lost interest in adopting a Specific Plan.”

              The plans are under review by the city staff. Meanwhile, the Bay Company is asking people to take a look at its vision. Two large, 3-dimensional models sit on display at the office of architect Ed Niles, and the Malibu Bay Company is urging the public to come take a peek.

              “We’re just trying to expose it to everyone,” said Reznick. “In general, the response from the community has been favorable. We’re looking to have as many people as possible view it. In the past there has been a lot of uninformed speculation about our development plans. We want to be sure the public and the city have accurate information on which to base their decision.”

              “We need feedback to know what is going to be correct for the site,” said architect Lisa Niles, daughter of Ed Niles. “We’re trying to create a village, create something special for the people of Malibu.”

              A 20-foot-by-8-foot model shows what is commonly known as the Chili Cook-off site. Current buildings there occupy about 30,000 square feet. The Bay Company’s plans call for an additional 140,000 square feet of construction. Plans include a four-cinema theater, a medium-sized gourmet food store and retail shops. No tenants have been identified. The model shows a lot of heavily landscaped area with a turf parking lot. “It’s not just an asphalt parking lot, it’s a heavily landscaped park,” said Niles. “You park on grass. The whole area can be shut down for festivals.”

              A 6-by-10 model depicts the site on the northeast corner of Stuart Ranch Road and Civic Center Way. Plans call for 60,000 square feet of office space with second-story residential development. Its plan and layout are similar to the Chili Cook-off site.

              “It’s meant to be a centerpiece,” said Niles. “An intellectual playground for Malibu. Not so much a retail area.” Niles compared it to the newly opened Starbucks near Trancas beach, which she said has proven to be a popular gathering place. “It’s such a relaxing spot where people can really come together.”

              Although the Malibu Bay Company has been working on the site for years, the models were built only recently. “I think it will help people understand what our proposals are,” said Reznick. “It illustrates the residential scale and community flavor of the project and also the amount of open space that’s provided.” Reznick said the models also show that the project is environmentally friendly with its turf parking lots and state-of-the-art treatment plant.

              Niles said the models may soon be displayed in various parts of the city, as soon as they determine the best way to move them. “We just have to figure out physically how we’re going to do it,” said Niles. Until then, the models can be seen at Niles’ office near Zuma Beach. (29350 Pacific Coast Hwy. Niles’ office is suite 9, the models are in suite 4. Anyone interested in seeing the models can call the Malibu Bay Company at 456-6555.)
