MALIBU CITY COUNCIL
Resident’s 45-foot-tall sculpture deemed a
structure, subject to City height restrictions
‘Big Clay #7’ by
artist Urs Fischer
draws neighbor
complaints
CHRIS BASHAW, Editor
It looks like a tower of
clay pressed by human
fingers – with sculpted
fingerprints to boot – but
the Malibu City Council
decided on Monday, June
13, that sculpture “Big
Clay No. 7” is a structure,
and it’s too tall to exist in
Malibu.
Standing at 45 feet tall,
the bronze-and-aluminum
sculpture was deemed by
a 3-1 vote as a structure
in the City of Malibu, and
subject to City codes for
structures.
Such codes limit structure
heights to 18 feet with
some variances allowing
for up to 28 feet, but “Big
Clay No. 7” stands at nearly
30 percent taller than
the maximum structure
height a variance allows.
While its height was
an apparent deal-breaker,
discussion about whether
or not the sculpture is a
structure and applicable
to height restrictions laid
out in the the City’s codes
dominated the night’s discourse.
Representing Malibu
resident William Bell, who
owns the sculpture and
displays it on his property,
attorney Ken Ehrlich said
the sculpture doesn’t qualify
as a structure because
it can be moved.
“I’m not saying not
structure because it’s art,
I’m saying it’s not a structure
because it’s conceptually
moveable,” Ehrlich
said. “You don’t sit on it
or open door and live in it.
It doesn’t do anything for
you but let you appreciate
it. We believe labeling it a
structure is beyond realm
of City zoning.”
Opposition to the sculpture
mainly came from
neighbors of Bell, who
complained about view
obstructions due to the
artwork’s size, as well as
a glare the copper-andaluminum
structure gives
off when sunlight hits it at
a particular angle.
Ehrlich insisted the tip
of the structure is visible
from most vantage points,
“but it’s not as if it dominates
the view of the surrounding
area,” he said.
One such resident who
disagreed was Marc Gurvitz,
who lives near Bell’s
residence along the 27000
Block of Pacific Coast
Highway.
“I had a very nice ocean
view when I moved out
here 25 years,” Gurvitz
said. “Now every room in
my house, that’s what I’m
looking at now.”
Gurvitz then criticized
Ehrlich’s insistence that
only the tip of the sculpture
could be seen from
most surrounding locations.
“It’s insulting to say you
can only see tip of it. I can
see the whole base,” Gurvitz
said. “It’s an eyesore
when the sun hits it, and
it’s staggering how much
light it gives off. I think
it’s insane and just not appropriate.”
Speaking in favor of letting
the sculpture remain
in place was John Mazza,
who serves on the City of
Malibu’s Planning Commission,
but spoke for the
Malibu Arts Foundation.
Mazza lamented that the
biggest problem concerning
the sculpture is that
Malibu has no codes or
regulations for art installations,
which prompted
the Malibu Planning Department
to interpret the
sculpture as a structure.
Although the Council
ultimately sided with the
Planning Department’s interpretation
that the sculpture
constitutes a structure,
Mazza – in a staccato
rhetorical question – said
he felt otherwise.
“Is this a structure?”
he asked. “Does it have a
roof? How will you determine
[the roof’s] size? Is
it flat roof or pitched roof?
Can and does it follow
building code as a structure?
Does it have pipes?
Electricity? This is not a
structure. This is art.”
Councilman Skylar
Peak, who voted against
denying Bell’s appeal to
let the sculpture stay on
his property, said the situation
was “frustrating” because
art is not addressed
in the City’s codes.
Bell and his attorneys,
however, are applying for
a Zoning Text Amendment
that could change the law
in town to allow the sculpture
— and other works
like it — to stay.
Details of the possible
ZTA weren’t discussed
at City Council, but City

Former interim principal oversees ceremony
Alex Vejar, Assistant Editor
As first-year Malibu
High School principal
Brandon Gallagher stood
in the middle of the athletic
field congratulating and
taking pictures with outgoing
students, MHS parent
Shen Shulz walked up to
him and said, “You’re the
best principal this school
has ever had.”
Gallagher gave a similar
sentiment soon after, only
he referred to the students
he got to know throughout
the year.
“This was my favorite
group of kids that I’ve ever
worked with,” Gallagher
said. “They’re just awesome.”
On a day that celebrated
the accomplishments of the
MHS seniors graduating
high school and heading off
to the next phase of their
lives, Gallagher was just
getting started with his tenure
and graduated his first
batch of MHS seniors on
Wednesday, June 8.
The high school has seen
three different principals in
the last four years: Gallagher,
former interim principal
David Jackson and Jerry
Block, who left MHS after
accepting a position at a
Simi Valley Middle school.
Gallagher took over for
Jackson before the 2015-16
school year started.
Gallagher has faced
some controversial situations
during his first year as
principal of Malibu High.
With the ongoing PCB
saga, the situation with the
lights on the athletic field,
and the recent uproar from
parents when he floated the
idea of foregoing a highlevel
senior math class, it
can be said that Gallagher

Julia Yazdani believes Gallagher

“He killed it,” Yazdani
said of Gallagher’s first
year at the helm.
Senior Alana Baer said
the graduating class will
miss Gallagher, and that
despite Jackson’s popularity
among the students last
year, Gallagher won then
over.
“Everyone loved Mr.
Jackson,” Baer said. “It
would be a hard job to
come in after him. But Gallagher
did a good job coming
in and making students
feel welcomed and loved.”

the State of California will
be in great hands with his

A small fire broke out near
on Latigo Shore Drive and
Seagull Way late Wednesday,
June 8, but was quickly
extinguished, said Sgt. Rod
Loughridge of the Malibu-
Lost Hills Sheriff Station.
The fire was originally
reported as a brush fire. But
when Sheriff deputies and
Los Angeles County Fire
Department personnel arrived
at the scene, they found
that a “porta potty” and small
wooden fence were on fire,
Loughridge said.
The fire department determined
that the fire likely
was caused by a discarded lit
cigarette, Loughridge said.
“It was so small, the fire
department got there and
they extinguished it very
quickly,” Loughridge said.
The incident was reported
at 10:12 p.m. No injuries
were reported and no other
structures were damaged,
Loughridge said.

National Park Service tags Malibu-area bobcat kittens for study
Suzanne Guldimann
Freelance Reporter
A National Park Service
video of the Malibu area’s
two newest bobcat kittens
went viral this week,
rapidly garnering nearly
150,000 views and charming
viewers with a glimpse
of the blue-eyed, polkadotted
pair. NPS ecologists
waited for the mom cat to
leave her den – located in
a wood rat nest – before
temporarily catnapping
the kittens, which were
weighed, measured, assigned
numbers and ear
tags, and swiftly replaced
in the den.
“We got a good look
at mom with the remote
camera when she returned
to the den and she looked
good,” NPS biologist
Joanne Moriarty confirmed
in an email to the Malibu
Surfside News.
The kittens’ mother, officially
identified as B-389,
wears a radio collar as part
of an ongoing NPS bobcat
study. The collar’s GPS
data enabled Moriarty to
locate the kittens.
The kittens, now officially
identified as B-340 and
B-341, will be joining their
mom as part of the study
begun in 1996. They’re too
young to receive radio collars,
but their ear tags will
enable the NPS researchers
to identify them if they
show up on remote camera
footage.
B-340 and B-341 are
fortunate. They were born
in the heart of the Santa
Monica Mountains National
Recreation Area,
where trapping and hunting
are prohibited, and
where human neighbors,
for the most part, appreciate
and respect the presence
of wildlife, but the
kittens will still face serious
challenges.
Although the species is
not threatened, the NPS
study has revealed that
local populations are in a
sharp decline. Just a few
years into the study, researchers
documented
a catastrophic mortality
event. Nearly 70 percent
of the cats in the study died
during a mange epidemic
subsequently linked to
secondary poisoning from
anticoagulant rodenticides.
Bobcats are far more
numerous in Malibu then
their bigger cousin the
mountain lion but just as
skilled at avoiding humans.
Although sightings
are rare and conflicts
almost nil, Point Dume,
Malibu Park and Malibu
West all reportedly have
resident bobcats, and those
cats are at an increased
risk of coming into contact
with prey animals exposed
to rodenticide because
they live in close proximity
to humans.
The gophers, ground
squirrels, rats and mice
that comprise a large percentage
of the bobcats’
diet are the same species
targeted by residential
pesticide companies, according
to the study data,
which has found that the
rodenticide doesn’t kill
the animals directly. Instead,
it compromises the
immune system, leaving
the bobcats susceptible to
a fatal form of mange. Affected
animals ultimately
die from emaciation, shock
and dehydration.
In idea circumstances,
bobcats can reportedly live
for as much as 10 years in
the wild. One captive cat
lived to be 32. Early mortality
is an ongoing problem,
and it contributes to

Park Service
the other major crisis impacting
the cats, a genetic
bottleneck caused by the
animals’ inability to cross
the 101 freeway to disperse
or find new mates.
A healthy adult bobcat is
roughly the size of a cocker
spaniel dog. The stubby
tail that gives them their
name and their dramatically
spotted fur are their
most distinctive features,
but a young bobcat kitten
could easily be mistaken
for a domestic kitten.
Male bobcats are solitary.

Classical music, ballet abound at first Concert on the Bluffs

A variety of classical
musicians and New York
City Ballet dancers came

Malibu winemaker Jim Palmer
claims gold in wine competition
Chris Bashaw, Editor
Malibu resident and
winemaker Jim Palmer’s
2014 Limited Production
Pinot Noir earned a gold
medal and the most points
awarded to any wine entered
in last week’s 2016
Los Angeles International
Wine Competition.
More than 3,000 wines
were submitted to the competition
from 995 wineries
in 23 countries. Although
tying for the honor with a
2013 Cabernet Sauvignon
from Lodi, Calif., Palmer’s
limited production Pinot
Noir pulled in the highest
number points awarded to
any wine in the competition.
“I’m overwhelmed and
still in a state of shock, Palmer
said. “It’s a huge honor to
win. I just realized that some
people try all their lives to
achieve these sorts of goals
or awards, and it never happens.
I’m very honored and
very humbled.”
Palmer produced about
180 cases of the Pinot Noir,
which will soon become
available for sale. Describing
the wine, Palmer said
“it’s more of a New World
wine, although it reflects
all the characters of a Burgundy.
It has higher alcohol
content and a bit more of a
fruitier, jammier flavor.”
Palmer also said his
grapes ripened just right in
2014 due to solid management
of his vineyard and a
little luck from nature.
“The fruit ripened exceptionally
well, and the sugars,
acids and flavors were
well-balanced when it was
harvested,” he said. “Not
much else needed to be
done, other than to give it a
tender, loving care.”
Citing “Los Angeles
Wine: A History from the
Mission Era to the Present”
by Stuart Douglass
Byles, Palmer said Los
Angeles winemaking has
a nearly 200-year history
that has been forgotten.
“Los Angeles was once
the largest producer of
wines in the United States,”
he said. “Prior to statehood,
there were about more than
100 wineries in downtown
Los Angeles, producing
wine for everyone in Northern
California during the
Gold Rush.”
Although pleased with
the accomplishment, Palmer
said he’s focused on a
bigger picture and what his
award could mean for other
winemakers in the Greater
LA area.
“It’s beyond anything ever
in my life and I’m humbled,
but this is more about carrying
on the legacy of Los
Angeles winemaking,” he
said. “There’s a saying in the
wine business that ‘the only
thing new we learn is all the
history we forgot,’ so I want
to make more people aware
of that Los Angeles played a
great role in this evolution,
because it’s been forgotten.”

Gardening gets smart at Saturday workshop
Suzanne Guldimann
Freelance Reporter
It may not have brains or
brawn, but with a little encouragement,
the humble
earthworm can be a sort
of invertebrate superhero,
helping gardeners to grow
better gardens while using
less water and fewer commercial
fertilizers and pesticides.
That was the message delivered
by Curtis Thomsen,
manager of Los Angeles
County’s Smart Gardening
program, at a free composting
workshop at Malibu City
Hall on Saturday, June 11.
Thomsen offered information
on how composting
can reduce garden
water use by as much as
50 percent, recycle up to
40 percent of household
waste and increase garden
productivity by 60-100
percent. At the end of the
workshop, participants had
an opportunity to purchase
compost bins and worm
boxes.
The composting bin recommended
by Thomsen
and provided by the county
is open at the bottom and
designed to be placed on
the ground, where it can by
colonized by earthworms
from the surrounding soil
that help speed the composting
process.
The worm box is much
smaller and can be kept
indoors. It comes with a
half-pound supply of “red
wigglers,” a block of coconut
fiber that expands when
soaked with water and provides
habitat for the worms
and instructions on what to
feed them.
Thomsen said that the
worms eat nearly their own
body weight each day, converting
fruit and vegetable
scraps into nutrient-dense

worm compost. The process
has its own official
name: vermiculture.
The backyard compost
bin relies on heat generated
by the process of decay
to transform waste
into compost. Worms and
other invertebrates like
centipedes aid the process
by devouring anything left
over and aerating the compost.
This type of compost
bin can be used to process
large amounts of grass clippings,
weeds, leaves, sawdust,
kitchen green waste,
recyclable paper, and even
pet hair and cotton fabric,
Thomsen said.
New material is added
to the top of the compost
bin and mixed in, the final
product is shoveled out of
the bottom of the box, and
sieved through a compost
screen before being used.
Thomsen recommended
equal amounts of green
waste like fruit and vegetables,
coffee grounds, tea
leaves and even stale bread
or pasta, and “brown” materials
such as yard waste,
leaves, sawdust and cardboard.
As long as the bin stays
full and its contents are
stirred and watered at least
one every couple of weeks,
an unlimited amount of
compost can be produced.
With a worm box, the occupants
directly consume
green waste, converting
it into high quality fertilizer.
The worm boxes sold
by the county can be kept
indoors, making them an
ideal project for schools
and families.
If they are managed correctly,
neither composting
system should smell
unpleasant nor attract pest
species, and both types
of compost can be used
throughout the garden.
Thomsen recommended
mixing one part worm
compost with two parts
regular compost for a superior
potting mix. He said he
also saves the concentrated
liquid that drains from the
worm box to make a bacteria-rich
tea that he dilutes
and sprays on his garden.
Thomsen said a single
undiluted gallon of the liquid
provides enough nutrients
to fertilize a football
field. He mixes the tea 20
parts to one with water for
use as a fertilizer, and six
to one as a kind of systemic
treatment for problems like
aphids and scale in his citrus
trees. However, the
liquid must be used immediately.
If it is stored in an
airtight bottle it quickly becomes
a toxic brew anaerobic
bacteria.
While composting offers
a great opportunity to
recycle household waste,
Thomsen cautioned that
some materials cannot be
used in either type of compost
bit. The list includes
oil, meat and dairy products,
pet waste, anything
containing salt and most
types of coated paper.
Fruits and vegetables
high in acid, like citrus or
tomatoes, are fine for garden
compost bins, but can
damage or even kill worms.
The audience learned that
keeping the right balance
of moisture and material
to produce good compost
requires a certain amount
of trial and error. Thomsen
said he has experimented
with composting and worm
culture for decades before
bringing his knowledge
to the county’s 26 Smart
Garden centers. All that
experimentation has generated
spectacular results.
Thomsen shared photos of
oranges the size of melons
and described 20-foot-long
zucchini vines.
“Last year we were harvesting
40 pounds of zucchini
a week,” he said.
“Vermiculture increases
the nutrient value of produce,”
Thomsen said. “It
reduces water use, increases
yield and reduces
insects.”
Compost and worm tea
can also help make lawns
drought tolerant by building
up the nutrients in the
soil and improving moisture
retention, he said.
“Lawns help clean the
air,” Thomsen explained.
“Removing lawns decreases
air quality. Most people
are looking for ways to fix
their gardens, not replace
them.”

Gardening program, including
future workshops,

According to the study
website, Malibu residents
can help bobcats and other
wildlife survive and thrive
by eliminating rodenticides
and remembering to
slow down and watch for
wildlife on the road, especially
at dusk and dawn.
Although bobcats rarely
prey on domestic animals,
the experts say it’s always
a good idea to make sure
small pets like domestic
cats, toy dog breeds, and
rabbits are not left outside
unsupervised, and that
livestock like goats and
chickens are secured at
night.
Bobcats afflicted with
the mange condition can
potentially be saved if
they receive early treatment.

In a way, life came full
circle for Malibu resident
Diane Peterson on Sunday,
June 12.
In her hometown of Elmwood
Park, N.J., Peterson
rode a Clydesdale in
a parade celebrating the
town’s centennial – a sight
similar to what some Elmwood
Park residents may
remember in parades past.
As a child, Peterson rode
a pony in the parade, and
did so later when she was
the majorette for her high
school’s marching band.
“Sometimes I’d bring
my horse to the football
games and hop on in my
majorette outfit to terrorize
the other band,” she
said. “My horse would rear
up full of spirit, and a lot
of people from my town
would remember that.”
Although she was invited
to ride in a vintage car
for the parade, Peterson
said she felt a horse was
more appropriate.
“Originally they said
I could ride in one of the
vintage convertibles, and
I thought, ‘I’m a stuntwoman
– I’ve gotta ride a
horse,’” she said.
Peterson said a nearby
farmer agreed to let her
borrow one of his Clydesdales
– “I’ve got a gentle
giant for you,’” she said
he told her – to ride in the
parade.
Peterson said the invitation
to ride in her hometown
parade was “flattering,”
and that by going
back, she’ll be bringing a
little of Malibu and Hollywood
back East.
“Just even riding a

Clydesdale is pretty Hollywood,”
she said, “But
Elmwood Park is where
I grew up and where my
roots are. A lot of my training
began in Jersey as a kid
riding horses, motorcycles
and driving – all of that
was the basics for my stunt
work.”
Peterson said she hopes
other Malibu residents not
originally from the area
will also remember their
roots.
“I love living in Malibu
and it’s my favorite place
that I’ve ever lived,” she
said. “But it’s always important
to remember where
you came from, and to
honor that place as well.”

Malibu Unification Negotiations Committee
Group discusses possible avenues to divide funds
Alex Vejar, Assistant Editor
The Malibu Unification
Negotiations Committee on
Tuesday, June 7, began discussing
possible avenues
for the division of assets
and liabilities should the
Santa Monica-Malibu Unified
School District successfully
split.
The committee of six
went though a July 2015
memorandum prepared
by the District’s financial
oversight committee
that suggested how to divide
money from various
funds and bonds, as well
as how to address current
litigation. Included in that
memo was how the two
separate districts could divide
property.
It was determined rather
quickly that property such
as administrative buildings,
school sites and other
similar facilities would
most likely be divided geographically.
However, that
could change if the committee
determined a compelling
reason to divide
property in another way,
said Tom Larmore, Santa
Monica attorney and team
member.
Either way, the goal of
property division is for both
resulting school districts to
come away with an equal
amount after the separation
occurs.
“What the unification criteria
requires is that there
be an equitable division
of property and facilities,”
Santa Monica team member
Paul Silvern said. “So
we can use whatever mechanism
we feel is appropriate
for it to be equitable.”
The group decided it
would be helpful to obtain
an inventory of assets owned
by the District in order to
Round It Up
A brief recap of the June 7 Malibu Unification Negotiations
Committee meeting
•The Santa Monica team will report to the Board of
Education on the progress of the committee’s talks
on June 22.
•If the committee needs to extend its 60-day
deadline another 30 days, it could appear on the
Board’s consent calendar on June 29.
determine which of them
are in Santa Monica and
which are in Malibu. Malibu
Mayor Laura Rosenthal
said most physical buildings
that were not schools are in
Santa Monica.
But the committee spent
the bulk of its time discussing
the District’s various
funds and how that money
could be divided once new
school districts are formed.
Larmore cited a report by
nonprofit educational research
firm WestEd that
suggested dividing SM-
MUSD’s fund balances by
average daily enrollment
data, which translates to
Santa Monica keeping
roughly 83 percent of the
District’s total balance,
while Malibu would keep
roughly 17 percent.
“It’s certainly the easiest
approach to take,” Larmore
said. “But what it does, in
our view, is it masks where
that money comes from.”
Larmore distributed to
the committee copies of
the District’s second interim
budget report, which
shows a breakdown of
SMMUSD’s unrestricted
general fund. He wanted
to convey to the group that
the total amount in the fund
comes from various sources,
he said, which could
make tackling the division
of money slightly more
complicated.
Because the money from
all the District’s funds
comes from a host of places
— some of which are only
funded by Santa Monica —
the committee played with
the idea of going source
by source to determine an
equitable division between
the two cities.
However, the group
made it clear that it was not
making decisions on the division
just yet.
“Ultimately what we
want to come up with is an
approach for dividing all
this stuff up,” Silvern said,
“But we’re not actually doing
the math on the division
because the bottom-line
numbers that are going to
get split are going to be in
a future point in time if an
when unification is actually
approved by the State.”
Seth Jacbson, member of
the Advocates for Malibu
Public Schools, said during
public comment that the
group should consider doing
a deeper analysis of exactly
how it would divide funds.
“While I agree that I
think, conceptually, the
group should put together
a framework, there might
be consideration to running
the numbers substantially so
that the Board has a legitimate
idea of what this could
be like,” Jacobson said, “because
it will frame the decision
whether to go to the
State, to go to the County or
to go to legislation.”

Don’t Panic, It’s Organic
How to identify and control pests, diseases in your garden
Andy Lopez
Contributing Columnist
Invisible Gardener
I
am quite often asked
what’s happening to
a favorite houseplant
or vegetable or rose or
whatever else kind of
plant. The process by
which I determine what
the problem is has evolved
throughout the years and
has settled down to a combination
of experience and
a systematic approach.
There can be many effects
of garden, flower, rose or
perennial landscape plant
problems, and many of
these problems can appear
to have the same symptoms
on different plants.
A long time ago, I
stopped trying to name
and identify pests and
diseases because I realized
what the true law of cause
and effect was, and how
that if this were controlled,
the results would
be to eliminate those pests
and diseases.
In other words, to me, it
is not important to know
which pest or disease is
attacking your plant, but it
is more important to deal
with the cause and not the
effects, the effects being
the pests and diseases.
Eliminate the cause, and
you eliminate its effects
To identify the cause of
the plant’s problem, it is
necessary to look at the
plant and the conditions
it is living in. Examine
all parts of the plants: the
flowers, leaves, stem and
do some detective work
to determine causes. The
process of elimination of
possible causes can lead
to the identification of the
problem(s). There can be
more than one cause and
therefore more than one
effect. Once the cause(s)
of pests and diseases are
correctly identified, corrective
cultural measures
can be taken to control the
problem.
All diseases are soilborne.
The are already in
the soil, just waiting for
the proper conditions to
appear. Yes, insects spread
diseases, but all insects
have contact with the soil
either in early formative
stages or through the
lifespan. Diseases and
Pests have evolved along
with the microbial life in
the soil.
In a recent Los Angeles
Times article, scientists
found that beneficial bacteria
and fungi could boast
plants growth. Wow.
That is on one level cool
that scientists are coming
around to this, but on
another hand, we good ol’
boys – the organic farmers
– have known that for
centuries. Not only scientists
are studying this, but
big business is researching
and coming up with
products that will increase
resistance to pests and
diseases, to drought; and
reduce farmers reliance on
fertilizers and pesticides.
And according to the
article, “Scientists have
known since the 19th century
that microbes could
be beneficial to plants, not
just causes diseases.”
Some scientists are
working on GEO research
for various chemical
companies like Monsanto.
They are working on not
just GEO but also GMOs.
I have already explained
the difference between
the two many times, so I
won’t now. Let’s just say
that scientists working
for these companies have
developed ways to incorporate
soil microbes into
the genes of plants thus
making the plant healthier
and more resistant to pests
and therefore diseases.
This is good and not bad.
It has nothing to do with
round-up, 24-d, and other
nasty GEO stuff but more
to do with understanding
the soil and how the
plants, soil microbes and
pests and diseases have
evolved to work for or
against each other.
Since I started my business
in the 6th grade, I
knew this. I knew that it
starts in the soil. I noticed
that everything, even humans,
is connected to the
soil in one way or another.
Try growing without soil
say 100 years ago or even
50,000 years ago. You
knew that land to grow
on. Animals need the land
to eat the food that grows
upon it and so forth.
I knew that it was somehow
important to understand
the soil and how it is
“Alive” and how it affects
all living things.
One of my very first
customer called me about
an ant problem she had.
When I went there, the
first thing I noticed was
that there was a sick tree
right next to the house and
that the ants were literally
raining down upon their
home!
I knew that if I were to
stop the ants from attacking
the tree (actually
ants do not attack trees,
they instead herd various
insects which attack the
tree and produce nectar,
which the ants then milk
them, and take it back
to their colony), that the
ants would no longer be a
problem to these folks. So
I started to examine what
were some of the possible
causes of why this tree
was sick and not healthy.
So if you follow the
effects, they will always
lead you to their causes.
I asked the folks what
were they doing to the
tree that is causing it to
get sick. I found out that
not only were they over
watering the tree but they
were over fertilizing with
a high-nitrogen fertilizer.
Trees do not like high
nitrogen fertilizers and
definitely do not like to be
over-watered. City water
kills off the beneficial microbes
in the soil allowing
bad microbes (diseases) to
move it. So I showed them
how to reduce their watering,
how to use organic
low-nitrogen fertilizers
and how to properly organically
fertilize the tree.
Once they did this, the
ants stopped coming to
the tree. Problem solved.
Please be aware that this
will take a time to correct
and that the tree should
be foliar fed to allow for
rapid absorption of nutrients
(takes time for the
trees roots to recover).
In the meanwhile, I told
them about Terro ant bait
and how to use that to
keep the ants controlled
until the tree has recovered.

Letters to the Editor
Regarding Henry Stern
Many Malibu residents received
a series of extremely
distasteful, negative political
mailers regarding California
State Senate candidate Henry
Stern.
The mailers indicated they
were created by an Independent
Expenditure Committee
of the California Association
of Realtors. This is a group
created at the statewide level
and charged with selecting
candidates they feel will best
represent their objectives,
and eliminating candidates
they perceive as a threat.
The Malibu Association of
Realtors was not consulted
regarding these mailers, and
had absolutely no knowledge
of them before they started
to arrive in the mail boxes of
members and residents. The
mailers do not represent the
position of the Malibu Association
of Realtors.
We have the deepest respect
and admiration for
Henry Stern and his family,
they are friends, neighbors
June Gloom hits Malibu
Malibu, one of the
sunniest cities in
all of Los Angeles
County, was looking
pretty gloomy last week.
While our wispy, white
marine layer lifted around
mid-mornings last week,
similar-looking cloud
cover loomed over Pacific
Coast Highway and our
beaches, and could have
been driven through high
up in the canyons.
As a photographer, I
wasn’t too bummed about
a little June Gloom. The
and exceptional members of
the community.
Our organization cares
deeply about keeping positivity,
integrity and respect in
the process at all times, and
we will continue our efforts
on behalf of members and
the community.
Susan Manners,
Executive Director,
Malibu Association of
Realtors
In celebration of our
schools
This letter is to all the parents
that have embraced our
schools: those who have not
and those parents considering
other options.
As the school year comes
to a close, we want to share
with you exciting news, celebrate
successes and acknowledge
the work yet to be done.
News that you may or may
not know, or may not understand.
In the next three years
every school in our community
will be touched by some
soft light generally means
I can photograph anytime,
anywhere throughout the
day, and get similar results.
But thinking about
the phenomenon got me
wondering about what
exactly it is and where
its name comes from –
and there’s some interesting
information out there.
The clouds we see are
low-altitude status clouds
that typically form over
the ocean and are wafted
into coastal regions by
the wind.
June Gloom weather
is also not supposed to
appear in years where
an El Nino occurred, but
perhaps we’re getting it
this year due to El Nino’s
lackluster impact – or lack
thereof – earlier this year.
Armchair meteorology
aside, there’s some
interesting culture going
type of renovation, upgrade
and enhancement, as well the
addition of exciting new educational
strategies.
As we enter a week filled
with graduations, promotions
and summertime pursuits, it
is important to consider how
truly blessed we are to have 5
great schools in our community.
Schools that provide a
singularly individualized and
expansive educational experience.
Schools that include
dynamic staffs and unique
curriculum. Schools that for
the last 15 years have produced
graduates who attend
the top 10 percent of colleges
in the US. Schools that are
consistently ranked amongst
the highest in the state and
nation.
In the case of Malibu
Middle and High School –
in about 18 months, we will
be looking at new buildings,
new classrooms and labs and
improved learning environments.
By early 2017, children in
the middle school building
will be in state-of-the-art portable
classrooms while the
school undergoes the most
ambitious renovation of its
storied history. The learning
processes in our classrooms
are shifting as well, with the
implementation of cross-curricular
learning plans, teacher
led professional learning
communities, new language
programs and STEM education
options. In only our second
year, our Robotics Club
won the top national award
for their efforts. And we continue
to rock the world with
amazing performing arts and
sporting successes.
And let’s not forget our
three great elementary
schools, where in the next
three years every window
and doorway over 25 years
old, will be replaced, among
other renovations, and we
will continue to have our
marine science programs at
Point Dume, special education
and reading programs
at Juan Cabrillo and the
computer science, technology
programs at Webster
Elementary. And within a
on here, as well.
According to the
all-knowing, all-wise
Wikipedia, June Gloom
is a distinctly Southern
California term.
Such cold, cloudy
weather usually runs from
late may to early summer,
but extending further into
the season has prompted
other colloquialisms: “No
Sky July,” and evidently,
“Fogust.”
year, every school will have
available to it a Boys and
Girls Club program that offers
tutoring, mentoring and
strategies for success.
Unfortunately, over the
last couple of years the remarkable
achievements, the
greatness within, the changes
that are coming, have been
drowned out by environmental
concerns.
But we can and are overcoming
these challenges
and need to look towards a
brighter future, where we
can celebrate the amazing
children in our schools being
given an amazing education
that will prepare them to create,
enjoy, evolve and thrive.
With great anticipation,

Malibu’s The Deltaz rock Peter Strauss Ranch
Chris Bashaw, Editor
With exceptional live
sound quality, Malibubased
country-blues band
The Deltaz brought a little
country and a little Delta
Blues to the Peter Strauss
Ranch Amphitheater on
Wednesday, June 8, for its
album release party.
If the dozens of listeners
in attendance were blindfolded,
they might have believed
the band was piping
a finely produced recording
through PA speakers as The
Deltaz performed a run of
its newly released album,
“Like Your Brother.”
That clearly wasn’t the
case, as Malibu brothers
John Siegel and Ted Siegel
performed with Zachary
Adrian Zmed and Dylan
Zmed of The Zmed Brothers
as a full, live version of
The Deltaz. The band ran
through its newly released
15-track album in the amphitheater,
just across the
street from The Old Place
in Agoura Hills, where
the Siegel brothers have
performed for the past six
years.
A portion of the proceeds
from each CD sale made
during Wednesday’s show
was donated to The Fender
Music Foundation, which
in turn donates instruments
to accredited public schools
in need.

Brother,” visit www.thedeltaz.com.

Weinrib once practiced internal medicine
Alex Vejar, Assistant Editor
Before the year 2000,
Malibu resident Lisa
Weinrib practiced internal
medicine in Phoenix,
Ariz., treating patients with
chronic ailments such as
rheumatoid arthritis and fibromyalgia.
But although her practice
thrived, her satisfaction
with her work wained. After
15 years of working in
conventional medicine, she
became tired of only treating
the symptoms exhibited
by her patients rather than
getting to the root of their
problems.
So Weinrib began learning
about alternative medicine.
She ventured into
herbs and essential oils,
earned a certification in homeopathy
and even became
a reiki master.
When she started seeing
more success in the patients
she treated holistically,
she decided that a career
change was in order.
“What I ended up doing
was basically leaving a
very thriving medical practice
because I couldn’t take
it one more in conventional
medicine, which was not
rewarding to me,” Weinrib
said.
Weinrib uses a combination
of various holistic
methods and her intuition
to help people struggling
with relationship, health
or money issues, as well as
any other problems her patients
may wish to address,
she said. Weinrib also said
she uses words for healing.
“I…identify the most
powerful words I can imagine,”
Weinrib said. “But I
also call upon specific divine
beings or Earth energies
or whatever might be
helpful.”
If that sounds a little
strange, Weinrib is wellaware
of that.
“Basically, you have to
throw out logic,” Weinrib
said. “This is not logical.
This transcends time and
space. It’s basically what
we would call quantum
physics.”
Weinrib’s sessions last
75 minutes and can be done
either in person or remotely.
She recently conducted
a session with a woman in
Germany via Skype, she
said.
Weinrib also claimed one
of her sessions can alleviate
issues that would take 10
years to resolve with psychotherapy.
After providing patients
with holistic and alternative
medicine in Phoenix for almost
15 years, Weinrib decided
to make the move to
California after her cousin
said people might be more
open to her treatments
there. About a year and half
ago, she moved from Calabasas
to Malibu.
“I’d always had in my
mind that I wanted to live
here,” Weinrib said. “I felt
like this was the place for
me. It just felt right.”
Weinrib said she has
helped many people with
her intuitive healing method,
including some Malibu
locals. Amanda T., a resident
who asked that her full
last name remain anonymous,
said Weinrib helped
her with a problem she was
having in a personal relationship
that affected both
her work and romantic life.
“She honed in onto what
was going on currently with
the issue why I called her,”
Malibu resident Lisa Weinrib sits comfortably on a bench on Wednesday, June 8. Alex
Vejar/22nd Century Media
T. said. “She brought up
some things that I was complete
unaware of. It brought
me into conscious of what
was really going on.”
T. met Weinrib while at
an event organized through
the website MeetUp, a social
media service that connects
people with similar
interests. Weinrib holds
MeetUp events in Malibu
on Wednesdays, she said.
While Weirib boasts a 90
percent success rate with
her method of healing,
she said her work comes
with some challenges. She
said it’s particularly difficult
when she tries to help
someone but they don’t
want to put forth the effort
to get better.
Weinrib also said it is
frustrating dealing with
close-minded people.
“Sometimes you draw to
you naysayers — people
that look at you like you
have two heads — and you
kind of have to keep on
plugging forward because I
know that this is important
for people because people
need it,” Weinrib said.
In addition to working
with individuals, Weinrib
performs holistic “transformational
synergistic workshops”
that help employees
in medium and large corporations,
she said.
Because Weinrib sometimes
encounters people
who don’t completely buy
in to what she’s selling,
she said it’s important that
potential patients come to
her with “an open mind,
an willing spirit and a heart
that’s open.”
Weinrib made it clear
that she doesn’t tell people
what do, and said that after
sessions, it’s up to the patient
to use her advice to
their advantage.
“I give them the ball,”
Weinrib said, “but they
have to run with it after.”

In Memoriam
Steve Karsh
Steve Karsh, a 40-year resident of
Malibu, passed away Thursday, June
9, after a courageous year-long battle
with esophageal cancer.
He is survived by his wife Sharone
and their “almost perfect” 14
years together; his mother, Irene;
daughter, Dawn; son-in-law, Mark
Morgan; grandchildren, Cade and
Samantha; brothers, William and
Howard; and his beloved yellow
Labrador, Lola.
Born Aug. 31, 1945 to a lowermiddle
class family in Brooklyn,
New York, the family moved to
Bensonhurst in 1958. Steve graduated
from Lafayette High School,
and later attended Hunter College.
He moved to California in the
1970s to work in entertainment,
eventually transitioning to the real
estate industry.
Steve was commonly known
around town as the unofficial mayor
of Malibu and will be remembered
for his work in commercial/
residential real estate, as well as for
his dedicated service to the Board
of Public Works, not to mention his
world-famous tuna dip at Carlos
and Pepe’s.
Although Steve could be a shrewd
negotiator in his personal business
dealings, he was equally kind and
generous when it came to his friends
and neighbors, as he and Mrs. Karsh’s
annual Fourth of July and Labor Day
beach parties were legendary to those
living on Malibu Road.
Even after his grave diagnosis,
Steve went out of his way to share
doctor referrals and medical advice
to fellow cancer patients.
Steve enjoyed travelling and
watching and betting on sports, especially
when his team covered the
point-spread.
He will be missed dearly. RIP Steve
Karsh AKA Mr. Almost Perfect.
A memorial service to celebrate
Steve’s life will be announced at a
later date.
Donations can be made in Steve’s
honor to City of Hope Esophageal
Cancer Research and Education.

The Dish
Veal a classic, tasty choice at Tramonto Malibu
Alex Vejar, Assistant Editor
When one has a hankering
for meat, it’s safe to say
the thought goes almost immediately
to beef or chicken.
Sometimes, fish can be
on that list as well.
But for those who want a
lighter alternative, but still
want their meat craving satisfied,
diners should give
the Scaloppine Con Funghi
($27) at Tramonto Malibu
a try.
Don’t be intimidated by
its name. The dish is a classic
in Italy, and consists of
a thinly cut slice of tender
veal medallion with wild
mushrooms, marsala and a
touch of cream. The meal is
served with a side of roasted
potatoes and mixed sautéed
vegetables.
The dish may look simple,
but that’s the point, restaurant
manager Wilfredo P. said.
“Very simple and classic,”
P. said. “Classic is always
good. That’s what we say
about this particular dish.”
P. said veal usually comes
in three variations: marsala,
piccata and parmigiana, P.
said. And while the entire
dish with the sides included
makes for a memorable
meal, P. said it’s the dish’s
main attraction that makes
it special.
“I think everything together
makes it signature,”
P. said. “The combination
[of the] veal, mushrooms
and the marsala wine.”
P. said the veal is pounded
until it becomes tender,
which adds to the meat’s
ease of eating. Patrons will
have no trouble cutting into
this piece of meat.
“Just the meat alone is
nice and tender,” P. said, “so
it’s not too heavy like the
regular meat.”
P. hinted that diners who
come to the restaurant to eat
the veal already know the
quality of product they are
getting.
“In general, in Italian cuisine,
veal is very simple and
popular,” P. said. “When
you eat that type of dish,
you’re expecting you’re
going to get the good meat
without thinking. You know
it’s going to be good.”
Because veal is the go-to
meat for patrons at the Malibu
Italian restaurant, diners
looking to try it for the first
time can’t go wrong with
the marsala version of the
dish, P. said.
“[If] people are looking
for veal, I recommend the
marsala,” P. said.
Other dishes not to miss:
•Tramonto Salad ($12):
Arugula and endive topped
with gorgonzola cheese and
house dressing.
•Arancini ($14): Lightly
fried rice balls stuffed with
mozzarella cheese, green
peas and ground beef, with
marinara sauce on the side.
•Scampi Francese ($13):
Jumbo shrimp prepared in
a lemon, butter and caper
sauce.
•Gnocchi Pesto ($27):
Homemade potato dumplings,
sweet fresh basi,
pine nuts and garlic, all in
a creamy pesto.
Gnocchi Pesto is just one of the tasty options from
Tramonto’s Gnocchi Bar.

Ride of the Week
Chuck Schauwecker’s ‘Rod’ Riguez
Fireball Tim Lawrence
Contributing Columnist
Malibu resident
Over the last decade,
I’ve had the
pleasure of calling
Chuck Schauwecker a
friend. A man dedicated to
putting smiles on the faces
of thousands through his
love for cars.
Or maybe, his love for
just one specifically: “RO-
Driguez.”
The year was 2005 when
Chuck bought this stunning
1930 Ford Model A
Tudor Sedan Kustom directly
from Builder Junichi
Shimodaira in Nagoya,
Japan – phenomenal Japanese
builder with a truly
unique vision for design
and fabrication.
Yes, Japan.
Retired from a McDonald
Douglas Aircraft stint
since January of 1995 –
the day he turned 55 and
after 32 years of service –
Chuck celebrated by snagging
this one-of-a-kind Hot
Rod with a 1949 Oldsmobile
Rocket 303 Motor.
It was around 2007
when I met Chuck and
we formed an alliance
for the love of this car.
Over the next decade, his
baby won just about every
show across the Western
Seaboard. First Place, Best
of Show, from corner Car
Chuck Schauwecker stands beside his orange 1930 Ford Model A Tudor Sedan Kustom. Fireball Tim Lawrence/22nd Century Media
Shows to Concours Hoyty
Toyty’s. There just was no
one out there that could
beat him. So much so that
he had to set aside a room
in his house for all the
trophies.
“She’s a true work of
art,” Chuck said. “The only
one like it in the entire
world.”
And although Chuck
uses it for Car Shows and
Charity events solely, I’ve
had the pleasure of having
it at several Major Auto
Shows and personally seen
the faces of those that get
the smile disease.
“When I bring her to an
event,” he said, “and watch
all the different people
look a her for the first
time and see them smile.
It doesn’t matter if it’s a
small child or an elderly
person, it just seems to
make them happy and they
come up to me, shake my
hand and thank me for
bringing her to the show.”
Awesome. The entire
point of having a cool car,
wrapped up in one single
run-on sentence.
RODriguez is simply
the coolest built Hot Rod
on the planet, and now
it’s emblazoned in the
Malibu Surfside News for
all of you to enjoy. Or, just
Google it and you’ll see
that Chuck’s got himself a
shiney-goldenbrass masterpiece.
And as you look
at the photos, you’ll see
the smile millionaires all
around it.
Recently, I had Chuck
visit us at our Wheels and
Waves Show at Gladstones
and although there were
many truly outstanding cars,
RODriguez’s own attractive
powers kicked in right off
the bat. If Hot Rods ever
reach a million bucks, this
one will be the first.
And what does Chuck
love about driving in
Malibu? The ocean and
beautiful homes, or course.
Don’t we all? But for car
people like he, I... and
you... the tryptic to that
statement is a cool car in
the garage.
Hot Rod, Muscle Car,
Exotic, Rat Rod, Tuner or
whatever. It completes me.

For basketball coach, life is all about luck
Alex Vejar, Assistant Editor
Most at Malibu High
School probably know
Richard Harris as the boys
varsity basketball coach
who led the team to two
straight Frontier League
championships in as many
years.
But there’s another side
to Harris that others outside
his family don’t know —
an entirely different world
full of stories and situations
that occur mainly by happenstance
for Harris and
his family members.
One of the biggest examples
of that is the Harris
family appearing on several
game shows over the
past 20 years. They have
competed on “Shop ‘til You
Drop,” “Family Feud” and
“The Price is Right,” where
Harris’ sister, Rhonda
Scott, was chosen to compete.
But Scott did not realize
it until Harris told her.
“She lost her mind,” Harris
said. “She was so excited
because she was the one
that really wanted to be on
the show.”
Scott was able to land the
family a trip to Singapore
— worth $11,000, Harris
said — by correctly guessing
the price of an item
on the first try. The family
changed it for a trip to Hawaii
instead, Harris said.
Harris himself tried
out for “Pros vs. Joes,” a
sports show in which contests
compete in challenges
against former professional
athletes. He vied to appear
on a basketball episode,
but did not think he would
be chosen because many
of the 150 potential contestants
were more athletic
than he at the time.
But the show did choose
Harris, and along with his
two teammates, he competed
against three former
players from the National
Basketball Association.
While Harris’ team lost,
he remembers it as a fond
experience.
“It was memorable because
I talked so much
trash,” Harris said. “We
sucked. They beat us down.
But I talked so much trash.”
While on “Family Feud,”
the Harris family almost
came away with nothing
after scoring no points in
the first round. But they
somehow made a comeback
and got the opportunity
to play for $20,000
in the final segment of the
show. Scott and Harris’
cousin successfully earned
the 200 points required to
win the cash prize.
Harris is not the only
member of his family to
appear solo on the big or
small screen. His brother,
David, has acted in films
such as “Gridiron Gang,”
“Dream Girls” and “Bring
It On Again,” while Scott
once appeared on “Oprah.”
Two of Harris’ nephews
have also been cast to
play younger versions of
celebrities.
Successful game show
appearances aren’t the only
examples of luck for Harris.
The start of his coaching
career was also the result of
trying something new.
After ending his fouryear
term of service with
the United States Air Force
— one in which he spent
one year in the Air Force
Academy but decided that
path was not for him —
Harris attended college at
Xavier University in New
Orleans, La., after which
he applied for and landed
a job at ESPN as a production
assistant. He worked
on sports highlights pack-

ages for SportsCenter and
ESPN News.
But Harris didn’t stay
long at ESPN, which is
headquartered in Bristol,
Conn. He moved to California
“with no plan,” he
said, and through a personal
connection started teaching
kinesiology for two years at
California State University,
Los Angeles, even though
he possessed a degree in
mass communications.
After that, he refereed
basketball games and
coached a team at the Burbank
YMCA and realized
that might be a path he
wanted to explore.
“I didn’t know I liked
coaching,” Harris said. “I
just loved sports my whole
life.”
After feeling some success
at the YMCA, Harris
then coached at two high
schools and Pierce College
before landing the varsity
head coach job at MHS two
years ago.
Basketball and good fortune
have joined forces in
other ways for Harris. For
the past eight years, he has
been involved with the Los
Angeles Lakers youth summer
camp.
Through his involvement
with the Lakers, Harris has
met and worked with the
team’s coaching staff and
has also met and spoke with
recently retired Lakers star
Kobe Bryant several times.
Harris even scored courtside
seats to Bryant’s final
game of his career, which
reportedly cost thousands
of dollars.
Harris has been so lucky
in his life that his friends
call him “The Black Forrest
Gump” and “The Most Interesting
Man in the World...
Runner Up,” he said.

with the Sharks two years ago after several previous
coaching stints. 22nd Century Media File Photo
While Harris credits
some of his family’s fortune
to his sister’s ability to
get extra perks at concerts
and award shows while
also encouraging everyone
to try out for game shows,
he said many of the things
in his life have been the result
of chance.
“I promise,” Harris said,
“I think it’s just good luck.”

MHS grad to play Division III basketball
Alex Vejar, Assistant Editor
From the moment Malibu
High School graduate
Trey Cotwright set foot on
the basketball court two
years ago after transferring
from Westlake High
School, he made his presence
felt.
During his first scrimmage
with the team, Cotwright
and then-junior
Dane Marshall wrestled
on the floor for the ball. As
one of Cotwright’s arms
shook loose, Marshall
pulled it back. The next
time down the floor, Cotwright
barreled his way
into the lane and right into
Marshall for a basket.
From that point on, the
message was sent to his
new teammates that Cotwright
would be a force
on the basketball court
and that he was serious
about making on impact
on the team right away.
What they probably didn’t
know at the time, however,
is Cotwright’s competitive
drive was the product
of many years of slights
against him.
“When someone tells
me I’m not good enough,
[I think], ‘OK, well now I
have to prove to you that
I’m good enough,” Cotwright
said while sitting at
midcourt of the MHS gym
on Thursday, June 9. “And
if I can’t prove to you that
I’m good or that I’m better
than you in any way and
then you beat me at something,
best believe that day
I’ll go out and work on
whatever I needed to work
on...until the next time I
see you and I will beat you
that next time.”
This fall, Cotwright will
take that adversarial attitude
to Crown University,
where he will play Division
III basketball.
Cotwright took to the
sport at a very young age.
He would spend hours
watching tapes on Michael
Jordan and retire to the
back of his house to dunk a
basketball in a small Fisher
Price hoop.
When he played Mighty
Mites basketball, Cotwright
purposely ignored
the defensive rules in
youth basketball that required
an opposing team
to stand in a line and only
put their hands up while
the offensive team shot the
ball. Instead, Cotwright
stole the ball from players
and blocked shots.
“He had a fire in him,”
Cotwright’s mother, Lyn,
said.
But when Cotwright
got to high school, he
experienced some negative
attention. Lyn said
Cotwright wasn’t allowed
on the varsity basketball
team at Westlake High
School and that parents
from Newbury High
School were mean to him.
However, Lyn feels
those occurrences only fueled
her son’s fire.
“All those slights, I
think, pushed him harder
and harder,” Lyn said. “He
never gave up. He always
got stronger and worked
harder.”
Now that Cotwright
has committed to attend
Crown University, which
is located in Minnesota,
he’s looking forward to the
times when his mettle will
be tested on the basketball
court, especially games he
will play in opposing arenas
with students that may
heckle or taunt him.
“When I was younger, I
always wanted to play in
college and be in one of
those big gyms and everyone
packs in and it’s loud
and the next day at school,
everyone’s talking about
you,” Cotwright said.
But basketball is the
not only area in which
Cotwright might wants to
succeed of the court. He
said he plans to study film
or history in college, and
attend law school afterwards.
Academics has been
uniquely important to
Cotwright throughout his
high school years. He said
he grapples with attention
deficit hyperactive disorder,
as well as a processing
disorder.
But those ailments have
only motivated Cotwright
to make sure he performed
better in school so he could
keep his basketball eligibility,
which should translate
when he attends the
university, he said.
“I want to play,” Cotwright
said. “I have to
have good grades [to be
eligible], so it’s going to
push me to make sure I
have good grades.”
While only having
coached Cotwright for
two years, MHS head
coach Richard Harris said
he enjoyed Cotwright’s
demeanor every day in
practice.
“Trey is one of the
happy-go-luckiest, goodcharacter,
quality-character-type
people, best overall
players I’ve coached,”
Harris said, adding that he
felt Cotwright would perform
well in college.
Cotwright said he
learned valuable lessons
from his coach, including
how to be a better leader.
“I thought to be a captain,
you had to be willing
to scream and get in someone’s
face and yell,” Cotwright
said. “He taught me
that you don’t always have
to do that. You can talk to
someone in a different way.”
Cotwright said he will
miss playing with his
MHS teammates and debating
politics with his
teachers. But his mother
said what she’ll miss dearly
is her son.
“It’s going to feel like
an emptiness, almost,” Lyn
said. “I’ll be lost.”
Right now, it seems that
all Cotwright is thinking
about is improving in not
only in life, but in the game
he loves. And he doesn’t
care how hard he will have
to work to get there.
“I don’t want to have
fun when I’m playing basketball,”
Cotwright said.
“I want basketball to hurt.
I want basketball to suck
because someone’s beating
me up. That makes me
better.”

in a play-in game for the Division 4
CIF playoffs.
Senior pitcher Dylan Ross was named

Malibu Pony League baseball wins title
Staff report
On May 31, the Malibu Pony League baseball
“A” division team won the Conejo Valley
Interleague Championship in a dramatic
3-2 victory in extra innings over the Newbury
Park Royals. It is the first Malibu Pony
championship team since 2010.
After the regulation seven innings, the
score was tied at 1. But in the top of the eighth
inning, Malibu pushed across two runs with
the help of clutch hits by Ryan Redondo and
Luke Mickens.
However, Newbury Park did not go down
without a fight. In the bottom of the eighth,
Newbury scored a run and loaded the bases
with two outs when Malibu’s Alec Morrison
struck out Newbury’s batter to end the game.
Malibu’s starting pitcher Kennesaw Steinberg
pitched just over six innings and gave up
only one unearned run.

Athlete of the Week
10 Questions
with Alex Plank
Alex Plank is a senior on
the Malibu High School
girls soccer team.
What do you like most
about soccer?
I love how fast-paced the
game is. I’m the kind of
person that can’t sit still for
long, and soccer is the perfect
sport to keep me busy.
There is never a dull moment.
I also love how close
I become to my teammates.
They really are my second
family.
What is the most
difficult aspect of
soccer?
Soccer is a huge mental
game, just as it is physical.
The most challenging aspect
for me is staying mentally
focused. In the words
of Troy Bolton, “Ya getcha
head in the game.” I have
to always tell myself to not
give up and keep going,
and that’s where my teammates
come in. We keep
each other going.
Who is your role model
and why?

I have been so lucky to
have grown up surrounded
by amazing role models,
so it’s very hard to choose.
I’d have to say my mom
because she is such a smart
woman — like I will never
reach her IQ ever — and
loves her job. She stays
positive and is such a
strong woman. I aspire to
be like her one day.
Describe Malibu in one
word.
Chill.
What are your plans
for after high school?
I’m attending Baylor
University in Texas as a
sociology major. I plan on
playing intramural soccer
as well, which will be a fun
way to stay active.
Do you have any
pregame rituals?
I just sing at the top of
my lungs and dance like an
idiot. Anyone on my team
can attest to my skills.
You’re president for a
day. What’s your first
order of business?
22nd Century Media File Photo
I would start cracking
down on those ridiculous
bathroom laws in North
Carolina and other states. I
believe there’s too much hate
and fear in America right
now, let people pee where
they want to pee dudes. I just
really want to spread more
acceptance and love.
What celebrities do
people say you look
like?
I apparently look a lot
like Juliette in the 1968
version of “Romeo and
Juliette,” which I consider
an honor. I’ve also gotten
Kristen Stewart.
If you could have any
superpower, what
would it be and why?
Shape-shifting. I can turn
into a bird and fly, or a fish
to swim. The possibilities
are endless.
What is your guilty
pleasure?
Jack in the Box onion
rings.

Pepperdine Sports
A.J. Puckett selected 67th overall by Kansas City Royals
Submitted by Pepperdine
University
A.J. Puckett became the
152nd MLB Draft selection
from Pepperdine on Thursday,
June 9, after being
selected by the defending
champion Kansas City Royals
in the second round.
Puckett was the 67th
overall selection on the first
day of the MLB Draft and
is the Royals only selection
on in the first two rounds.
He is the first Wave to go in
the second round or higher
since both Barry Enright and
Danny Worth were selected
in the second round of the
2007 draft.
Puckett completed a remarkable
junior campaign
this year by putting up the
third best ERA in both Pepperdine
and WCC history,
and fourth best in the NCAA
this season, with a 1.27 mark
on the year. The junior righty
went 9-3 for the Waves and
posted one of the most dominant
stretches in NCAA history,
tossing 45.2 consecutive
scoreless innings and
57.1 consecutive innings
without giving up an earned
run. Both marks were Pepperdine
records and the 45.2
scoreless inning streak was
the third longest in NCAA
history. Puckett posted eight
starts this year in which he
did not allow an earned run
and seven in which he did
not give up a run at all. He
also had five starts with at
least eight strikeouts and one
or fewer walks, including a
complete-game shutout of
Portland in which he struck
out a career-high 12 batters
and walked none. Puckett
finished the year fourth in
the NCAA in ERA, 10th
in WHIP (0.92) and 16th
in hits allowed per nine innings
(5.89), also leading the
WCC in all three categories.
He held opponents to a .191
batting average, all while
striking out 95 batters and
walking just 26.
Since coming to Malibu
as a freshman in 2014, Puckett
has appeared in 52 games
on the mound, making 30
starts and tossing a total of
247.0 innings. He has posted
an 18-10 record and 2.95
ERA in his three seasons
as a Wave, and has the fifth
lowest career opponent’s
batting average, with a .234
mark. Puckett has struck out
219 batters during his career,
while walking just 81 and
giving up 211 hits. This year
he was named to both Baseball
America and Collegiate
Baseball’s All-American
first teams, is a semifinalist
for both the Golden Spikes
Award and National Pitcher
of the Year, and was named
WCC Pitcher of the Year.
Puckett is the sixth Pepperdine
player selected by
the Royals. Since 1966, 16
different Waves have been
selected in the first two
rounds of the MLB Draft,
with 10 going on to make a
major league roster at some
point. The 2016 MLB Draft
continues tomorrow and will
wrap up on Saturday.
Stefani earns ITA Singles
All-American honors
The Pepperdine women’s
tennis team’s freshman Luisa
Stefani earned more
national acclaim Thursday,
June 9, as the International
Tennis Association released
the 2016 Singles All-American
lists and the standout
made mention.
The ITA National Rookie
of the Year achieved the
best finish a Wave has ever
accomplished since 1994
as she reached the NCAA
singles semifinals matchups
this May and finished
ranked #3 in the Oracle/ITA
singles rankings. She is oneof-three
freshmen picked in
the 24-women list.
She led Pepperdine from
the number one singles position
to the NCAA Championships
quarterfinals and
competed in both the singles
and doubles championships,
going to the round of 16 in
doubles with junior partner
Apichaya Runglerdkriangkrai.
In addition to the National
Rookie of the Year acclaim,
the first national honor a
women’s tennis competitor
has received all-time apart
from All-American selections,
Stefani earned ITA
Southwest Region Rookie
of the Year and Player to
Watch. She garnered West
Coast Conference Player
and Freshman of the Year
accolades and earned spots
on the All-WCC first team
in both singles and doubles.
She also picked up WCC
singles player of the week
nods on four separate occasions
and doubles team
of the week honors in six
weeks.
To be selected as an All-
American, one must be in
the top 16 seeded field of
the NCAA Singles Championship,
reach the round of
16 in the championships, or
finish in the top 20 of final
Oracle/ITA National Singles
Rankings. Stefani fit the criteria
in all three categories.
Throughout the 2015-
16 campaign, Stefani went
40-6 overall in singles with
a 22-2 record in the spring
dual season from the number
one position. She finished
with an 18-4 record in
tournament play and posted
a 26-5 record against nationally
ranked opposition.
In doubles, she went 23-6
with Runglerdkriangkrai,
including a 16-4 record in
the dual campaign and 7-2
record in tournament play.
The pair went 7-4 against
nationally ranked competitors
and finished with an
11-3 record in the number
one doubles slot and 5-1 in
the number two slot.
Amanda Rowe given WCC
Represent Award
Pepperdine women’s
swimmer Amanda Rowe
was given the Represent
Award by the West Coast
Conference June 7 at the
conference’s annual honors
banquet.
The Represent campaign
is the WCC’s sportsmanship
campaign, which encourages
the elevation of
teams during competition
rather than negative behavior.
Since its launch in 2009,
the REPRESENT campaign
has transformed into a conference-wide
celebration of
WCC student-athletes’ competitiveness,
character and
commitment to “representing”
themselves both on and
off the playing field.
From the award presentation
ceremony: “This year’s
Represent award winner
was recognized by her peers
for her unparalleled commitment
to sportsmanship. In
her nomination, it was noted
she had the innovative idea
to provide snack and drinks
to all visiting WCC teams.
This endeavor helped Pepperdine
put into action what
it means to be a good host.
Her dedication comes after
enduring multiple brain surgeries
during her freshmen
year and fighting her way
back to her teammates and
the sport she loves.”
