Stage right
Dear ER:
Its very hard for actors to get a true assessment of their skills (Heard the rumor about Surf City Theater? ER Feb. 27, 2020). Friends, family and cast mates want to be supportive so they give you positive feedback. Nobody ever says, Well to be honest you suck at this and probably should not be an actor. Thats why candid, unbiased reviews are so important. Thanks.

A clean apron
Dear ER:
To watch the Reed family at City Council meetings. having to beg for restoration of their driveway apron is beyond sad (Family Nixes Councils Blue Curb Solution, ER Feb. 20, 2020). City Attorney Mike Webb said hes worried that to restore the Reeds apron would violate state law because when they help their handicapped daughter Kelly from their car using the apron would be illegal. If I temporarily pull up on my driveway apron to drop off a loved one needing the benefit of the slope of the apron, Im pretty sure a cop wont be giving me a ticket. On my street right now there are eight cars parked on aprons. So it is okay to park in a driveway apron, but we dont allow disabled people to use them. If this was the intent, lawyers versed in the Americans with Disabilities Act would have swarmed all over this part of the code and with good reason. The Reeds did not do any construction their neighbors did. So, the part of the apron in front of the Reeds home, on their side of the property line, should have been left. And even if it doesnt go to a garage, its permissible because the city code only requires new curb cuts to go to a garage.
The Reeds had an efficient system in place to help their disabled daughter in and out of their car, using their driveway apron. The city removed their apron when it should not have been removed. The city made a mistake and should do the right thing and put it back, before the Reeds go get a lawyer and sue the pants off the city for violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act for ripping out what was an established accommodation for them. Theres no need to wait three more months for city staff to do the homework they should have done before now, and where well likely hear more ill-informed, cringe-inducing, mealy-mouthed excuses for the citys bad behavior.

Lock em up
Dear ER:
A loophole in California law requires auto burglary victims prove their doors were locked. Lawmakers struggling with prison overcrowding and public pressure to enact criminal justice reform have been reluctant to do anything to put more people behind bars. Residents leave many expensive items in their cars, which invites felons into our neighborhoods. Although these car burglaries are considered victimless crimes, it may lead to more vicious crimes, such as home invasion. Who do we blame for the recent rash of car burglaries? Not the Manhattan Beach Police. Blame the California State Legislature for early release of felons and for not closing the loophole in auto burglary laws and aksi the residents who are rich, well-educated, professionals who carelessly leave expensive possessions in their cars.
