Malibu Planning Commission 

Telecom company asks 

for another extension 

Controversial talks 

on proposed facility, 

antenna to continue 

on Monday, Aug. 16 

Cassandra Stephenson 

Freelance Reporter 

The City of Malibu’s 

Planning Commission on 

July 18 unanimously voted 

to continue discussion regarding 

the potential installation 

of a new wireless 

telecommunications facility 

and antenna on Harvester 

Road. 

The topic will be picked 

up again Aug. 15 at the 

request of the applicant, 

Crown Castle, according 

to Assistant City Attorney 

Trevor Rusin. 

Per a previous standing 

agreement between both 

parties, if Crown Castle’s 

new permit is approved 

before Aug. 8, the company 

will drop the lawsuit 

against the City, according 

to City documents. According 

to Rusin, however, 

Crown Castle is willing to 

continue the court date in 

light of their request for 

continuance for project revision; 

though, no stipulation 

has been signed. 

This is the second time 

the discussion of the issue 

was tabled for a later Planning 

Commission meeting. 

On June 20, the commission 

voted 4-1 to continue 

the discussion after being 

asked for the extension by 

Crown Castle. 

At the time, Malibu resident 

Dana Christiaansen, 

who has been at the forefront 

of the fight against 

installing the facility and 

antenna for the past three 

years, told the Malibu Surfside 

News that he knew 

why the item was delayed, 

but declined to elaborate 

further. 

Crown Castle sued the 

City of Malibu and the Malibu 

City Council in August 

2015 after the City Council 

voted to uphold an appeal 

by Malibu residents in July 

2015. The lawsuit seeks 

“declaratory and injunctive 

relief” for four alleged 

causes of action, according 

to Planning Commission 

documents, but is currently 

suspended because of a 

conditional settlement. 

The project has a history 

of approvals and appeals 

since it was first approved 

by the Malibu Planning 

Commission in November 

2013. 

Two Malibu residents 

filed an appeal 10 days 

after an approval, citing 

potential decline in property 

value, violation of the 

Malibu Municipal Code, 

and Crown Castle’s lack of 

status as a wireless carrier, 

among other complaints. 

The Planning Commission 

split the vote on that 

appeal, so the initial approval 

was upheld. 

The residents filed a second 

appeal following the 

approval, contending that 

Crown Castle “did not provide 

adequate pole loading 

capacity calculations and 

the project would violate 

the MMC by exceeding 

the applicable noise threshold,” 

according to Planning 

Department documents. 

The issue was examined 

by the Malibu City Council 

in April 2015, and the 

council ultimately granted 

Crown Castle more time to 

research after it heard conflicting 

information from 

both Malibu residents and 

Crown Castle representatives. 

After hearing a second 

report from Crown Castle, 

the City Council voted to 

uphold the appeal in July 

2015, revoking approval of 

Crown Castle’s proposal. 

Also on Monday, the 

Planning Commission received 

and filed the permits 

for the 35th Annual Kiwanis 

Club Chili Cook-Off and 

Carnival, proposed to occur 

Sept. 2-5. 

The event has two proposed 

adjustments: it will 

open two hours later on 

Friday, and 30 minutes 

earlier on the other days. 

Additionally, live bands 

with amplified music are 

proposed on Sept. 2 from 

4-9 p.m. A representative 

for Kiwanis also requested 

a 45-minute extension for 

live music on Saturday and 

Sunday nights. 

The next Malibu Planning 

Commission meeting 

will be held on Aug. 1 at 

Malibu City Hall at 6:30 

p.m. City Hall is located at 

23825 Stuart Ranch Road 

in Malibu. 

Other meeting news 

•An extension was granted 

for four single-family 

residences. 

•The commission also 

OK’d extensions for two 

other demolition/construction 

projects.

Pop-ups help hype upcoming arts festival 

Alex Vejar, Assistant Editor 

Anticipation is building 

for the 45th annual Malibu 

Arts Festival, which will 

open to the Malibu community 

July 30. 

Over the past few 

months, the Malibu Chamber 

of Commerce and those 

involved with the festival 

have been giving the community 

small tastes of what 

they should expect with art 

pop-ups called “Made in 

Malibu.” The first appeared 

in early May at the Malibu 

Lumber Yard. 

But the brief installations 

ventured outside of Malibu 

Wednesday, July 13, with 

a one-day show appearing 

at Westlake Brewing Company. 

The brewing company, 

along with Westlake 

Village-based Aldabella 

Winery & Tasting Room, 

is to provide some of the 

beverages for the arts festival, 

said Kristine Bocchino, 

chairwoman-elect of the 

Malibu Chamber of Commerce. 

Because some of the artists 

showing at the festival 

later this month hail from 

areas such as Westlake 

Village, Agoura Hills and 

Thousand Oaks, Bocchino 

said it made sense to hold 

a pop-up outside of Malibu. 

“We wanted to give a 

little love to those over the 

hill,” Bocchino said. 

One of the artists at last 

week’s pop-up was Malibu 

native Lily Lambert, who 

showed pieces from two 

of her series, “Energy” and 

“Pike.” Both series depict 

a variety of colors, but the 

“Pike” paintings have an 

especially unique meaning. 

Malibu native Lisa Lambert stands below her paintings, 

which appeared at the second “Made in Malibu’ art 

pop-up on Wednesday, July 13, at Westlake Brewing 

Company in Westlake Village. 

Photos by Alex Vejar/22nd Century Media 

“The ‘Pike’ series [is] 

if fish could dream, what 

would those dreams look 

like,” said Lambert, who 

will show her art at the 

Malibu Arts Festival for the 

first time. 

Displaying a different 

type of art was Malibu 

resident Lenise Soren, who 

just moved to Point Dume. 

Soren works with healing 

crystals, making jewelry 

out of them, as well as providing 

healing sessions 

with crystals in her new 

Point Dume showroom. 

At the festival, Soren will

org. 

produce a “wellness village,” 

she said, with artists 

that utilize acupuncture, 

aroma therapy, yoga, physical 

training and more. Soren 

also said four performances, 

all involving crystals, will 

take place in the village. 

Pictured are various crystals that Malibu resident Lenise Soren will show to arts 

festival attendees. It will be her first time showing at the festival. 

Scott Lindner stands under his paintings of horses at the pop-up. While not a resident 

of Malibu, he will show his work for the second time at the arts festival. 

It will also be Soren’s 

first time at the Malibu Arts 

Festival. 

“I’m very supportive of 

what they’re doing and the 

festival,” Soren said of the 

Malibu Chamber of Commerce. 

Bocchino said at this 

year’s arts festival, Malibu 

resident Tim Lawrence — 

known to many as Fireball 

Tim — will have a “Cars as 

Art” display at the front of 

the festival that will feature 

45 classic vehicles. Lawrence 

is to conducting interviews 

for his YouTube channel 

as well, Bocchino said. 

Before July 30, a third 

and final “Made in Malibu” 

pop-up will once again appear 

in the Malibu area, this 

time for two weeks. Festival 

organizers said the third 

installation will be open 

soon.

Malibu Unification Negotiations Committee 

Consultants find issues with previous financial viability studies 

Long-term forecast 

shows big loss of 

per-student money 

for Santa Monica 


The Malibu Unification 

Negotiations Committee 

received from its 

educational consultants 

sobering information on 

the financial aftermath of 

separating the Santa Monica-Malibu 

Unified School 

District. 

Two representatives from 

education consulting firm 

School Services of California 

joined the committee 

of six on Thursday, July 

15, to discuss their findings 

based on two financial projections 

made last year by 

SMMUSD Chief Financial 

Officer Jan Maez and 

WestEd, the firm hired by 

the Advocates for Malibu 

Public Schools to study 

whether separating the district 

would create two independent 

and financially 

CITY OF MALIBU 

Certified O.W.T.S. 

and N.A.W.T. 

Septic inspectors 

for all single family, 

multi-family and 

commercial properties 

viable school districts. 

Robert Miyashiro, of 

SSC, looked at WestEd’s 

report from last July, 

which concluded that each 

of the California Education 

Code’s nine criteria for 

school district reorganization 

would be substantially 

met if SMMUSD splits. 

According to Miyashiro’s 

findings, however, there 

will be issues with two of 

the nine criteria. 

The WestEd report states 

Criterion 5, which stipulates 

that the State incur 

no increased costs as a 

result of a school district 

reorganization, would be 

met. That report found 

that a Santa Monica-only 

school district would need 

roughly $4.3 million in additional 

state funding after 

SMMUSD splits. 

Miyashiro said that 

while the dollar amount is 

low compared to the $40 

billion of statewide aid, 

that does not necessarily 

mean the amount is insignificant. 

“I still think Criterion 5 

McDermott 

is going to be a challenge 

on the reorganization,” 

Miyashiro said. 

Another big challenge to 

the possible reorganization 

that Miyashiro conveyed 

to the committee was Criterion 

9, which deals with 

the fiscal status of new or 

existing school districts after 

a reorganization occurs. 

The district as a whole is 

currently spending more 

than it’s making, according 

to the most recent budget 

numbers, which would remain 

an issue even after a 

separation, Miyashiro said. 

“Our comment with regard 

to Criterion 9 is that 

to the extent that this imbalance 

is in place when 

• Residential • Commercial

“There’s so many variables that 

can change the outcome in future 

years that you need to look at it a 

different way.” 

Mike Ricketts — School Services of California 

the reorganization is executed, 

then the two districts 

inherit this problem,” 

Miyashiro said. 

SMMUSD plans to 

make $4.5 million in budget 

cuts starting in 2017- 

18, but Miyashiro said that 

might not be enough. 

“Even with that in place, 

it takes care of a lot of their 

problem, but the shortfall 

is still there,” Miyashiro 

said. 

SSC’s draft report to the 

committee states that SM- 

MUSD’s financial forecast 

“shows substantial operating 

deficits through 2018- 

19 of over six percent of 

total expenditures.” 

“If this imbalance is not 

corrected, the foundation 

for creating two new unified 

school districts jeopardizes 

the fiscal outlook 

for both proposed district,” 

the SCC report reads. 

Mike Ricketts, of SCC, 

studied the per-student 

revenue that each new district 

would take in after the 

separation over a 12-year 

period. In the first four 

years, a Santa Monicaonly 

school district would 

just about break even in 

per-student revenue compared 

to current SMMUSD 

projections over the same 

time period. 

Beyond the initial four 

years, however, Santa

Ricketts said the key 

aspect of the financial 

impacts of reorganization 

for the committee to 

think about will be how it 

creates an equitable division 

between the two new 

school district. 

“There’s so many variables 

that can change the 

outcome in future years 

that you need to look at it 

a different way,” Ricketts 

said. 

SSC also concluded that 

a Santa Monica-only district 

will eventually become 

a minimum-state-aid 

district after a separation 

occurs, and then it will 

shift to a basic aid in later 

years. 

The dire financial projections 

over 12 years 

seemed to create some uncertainty 

among the committee. 

Santa Monica team 

member and attorney Tom 

Larmore said it would be a 

good idea to study financial 

data in two scenarios: 

if SMMUSD stayed together 

and if SMMUSD 

separates. Other members 

of the committee agreed 

with Larmore. 

“Especially in light of 

these results would suggest 

that the real difference between 

where we would’ve 

been as an existing district 

and a Santa Monica-only 

district gets bigger in the 

out years,” said Paul Silvern, 

Santa Monica team 

member. 

Debbie Mulvaney, the 

third Santa Monica team 

member, said she thinks 

the separation agreement 

should stipulate that if 

there are any changes in 

the state funding formula 

or any other significant 

financial shifts, it would 

trigger a re-opener that allows 

both new districts to 

assess their current standing. 

“There are things you 

can write in any agreement 

that allow you to 

come back to the table for 

a certain level of shifts and 

any number of things,” 

Mulvaney said. “That will 

protect both sides in case 

there’s a major shift in any 

direction.”

Dog rescued from 

hot car at Zuma 

Staff Report 

A small dog was rescued 

July 9 from inside a hot car

Market can offer fresh meal, community feel 

Barbara Burke 


Stop by the Malibu Farmer’s 

Market any Sunday and 

residents can find a veritable 

potpourri of fresh foods 

that provide ingredients for 

many dishes — from simple, 

healthful dishes that a 

busy parent needs to feed 

a family traditional fare, to 

cutting-edge, new products 

that intrigue and offer opportunities 

to create firstclass 

unique dishes for even 

the most fancy occasion. 

“We come to the farmers 

market because we get 

amazing food from all over 

the world, and we can support 

our local vendors and 

farmers,” visitor Matthew 

Burgess said. 

-Detox- 

But the market is not just 

about food. It is a gathering 

place for the community as 

well as for those driving by 

on a trip to the beach. 

“This is an amazing 

weekly community where 

people we know and love 

gather,” Burgess said while 

spending time with his 

3-year-old son, Kevin, who 

chimed in. 

“The food is so yummy,” 

Kevin said. 

At the market, Malibu 

residents can fill their bags 

and fridges with fresh vegetables 

straight from local 

farms as well as with foods 

from around the world. For 

the basics, you will find 

huge bunches of seemingly 

endless varieties of lettuce, 

kale, onions, peppers, heirloom 

tomatoes and all types 

of vegetables. Season those 

elemental ingredients with 

some of the myriad spices 

and locally grown herbs. 

Or try the avocado oil, 

which is great for searing, 

and enhances, but does not 

intrude upon, the flavor of 

any dish because it has the 

highest smoke point of any 

fruit oil — up to 450 degrees. 

For main dishes, there 

are numerous options. Try 

the fresco pasta and season 

it with all types of the market’s 

fresh herbs as well as 

its fromage options, which 

include flavorful mozzarellas 

and burrata, a fresh Italian 

cheese made with mozzarella 

and cream. 

“The farmers market lets

Local vegetables like these are abound at the Malibu Farmer’s Market, available to 

residents every Sunday. Suzy Demeter/22nd Century Media 

people select fresh, hormone-free 

specialty products 

and it supports local 

vendors,” said Jenny Royal 

of Fresco Pasta. 

At the market, it’s all 

about choice, uniqueness 

and a plentiful blend of 

necessary staples and novel 

specialty foods and spices. 

Vendors offer fresh, organic 

meats and seafood 

straight from the boat, as 

well as from all over the 

world. Fresh ready-to-boil 

pasta of many unique varieties 

as well as rice options 

abound and offer healthy 

basic staple choices. 

No epicurean feast of 

shopping selections is complete 

without one’s sweet 

tooth being satisfied. 

Enticing beautiful, bright 

berries are plentiful at the 

market. They’re perfect for 

making a strawberry pie, 

a tarte or a summer berry 

cake. Apples, kiwis, cantaloupe 

and citrus of all varieties 

also tempt your palate. 

For dessert, gourmet specialties 

offer amazing dolce 

options, including Italian 

rum cakes that are so moist 

they quite literally melt 

in your mouth — try the 

chocolate raspberry cordial 

or the Italian Butter Rum 

cake. Fresh yogurt desserts 

served on-site hit the spot as 

you make your way through 

the market, or you can take 

them to go. 

Fill your kids’ backpacks 

with dried fruit, a healthy alternative 

to processed chips. 

The market offers dried 

kiwi, ginger, cantaloupe, 

marionberry and myriad 

other choices. Throw in 

some dried nuts. Try the raw 

Pepitas, or pumpkin seeds, 

which offer just the right 

combination of saltiness 

and crunch. 

Fill the adults’ lunch boxes 

with hummus, pita or dolmades, 

all freshly made and 

locally sourced. 

After food shopping, 

Malibu residents can check 

out the flower stands and 

prepare their Sunday dinner 

tables with the fresh cuts 

from the market or brighten 

their living spaces more permanently 

by taking home 

one an orchid. 

Thirsty market-goers can 

take a break from the food 

shopping to try a Brewchata, 

a traditional Mexican 

horchata mixed with cold 

brew coffee. Himalayan teas 

provide a unique, healthy 

thirst quencher as well. Or, 

try the virgin mojitos for 

a quick pick-me-up. The 

Rooibos Tea with Moringa, 

a Red Bush tea from South 

Africa that quenches your 

thirst and is nutrient-filled, 

is a unique healthy option. 

Finally, you can try some 

hormone-free bullion drinks 

that provide collagen to ensure 

your body is strong for 

the busy work week. 

Residents can also pop 

into the market for necessary 

items, or you can stay 

awhile and enjoy breakfast 

or lunch. Vendors from all 

over the world cook up delicious, 

unique ready-to-eat 

foods. Try the Akara (Nigerian 

bean cakes), the Mediterranean 

dishes, the Chilean 

empanadas or the Sierra 

Leone fried plantain at the 

West African cuisine stand. 

Vendors offering more typical 

fare dish up Mexican 

food, hot dogs and burgers. 

If you try the baconwrapped 

hot dogs, you may 

just become a regular at this 

farmers market.

Nomination period for 

City Council begins 

Submitted by the City of 

Malibu 

The nomination period 

for the election of the 

Malibu City Council began 

Monday, July 18 and will 

run until Aug. 12, according 

to a City press release. 

Those who want to be 

elected to the council will 

have to retrieve, fill out and 

submit all the necessary 

paperwork within that time 

frame, said Heather Glaser, 

acting City clerk. 

A total of three council 

seats are available in the 

coming election. Two of 

them, held by Joan House 

and John Sibert, are termed 

out, meaning those two positions 

are guaranteed to 

be filled by new members, 

Glaser said. The third seat, 

held currently by Mayor 

Pro Tem Skylar Peak, is 

open, but Peak told the 

Malibu Surfside News that 

he intends to run for reelection.

Council election will be 

held on Nov. 8, the first to 

coincide with the statewide 

general election after the 

City Council changed the 

election date in an effort 

to increase voter participation. 

“Malibu residents care 

deeply about the matters 

that impact our community, 

and participating in 

the election is one of the 

most important ways to 

make their voice and vision 

heard,” Mayor Lou La 

Monte said. “Unfortunately, 

we still have low voter 

participation. By changing 

the election date, we hope 

to make it more convenient 

for Malibu residents to participate 

in the democratic 

process.” 

If any of the three incumbents 

fail to file their 

paperwork, the nomination 

period can be extended to 

Aug. 17. 

In May 2015, the Council 

voted to consolidate 

the City elections with the 

statewide general election 

in November of even years. 

The Council urges all eligible

Summer food preservation taught to participants in workshop 

Suzy Demeter 


Food coach and vegetarian 

chef Lesley Ward 

brought fresh summer flavors 

from the farmers market’s 

fruit and vegetables 

into a Summer in a Jar 

workshop on Friday, July 

15, at Malibu City Hall. 

Participants were treated 

to an aromatic culinary 

experience where they 

learned the best way to 

quickly cook down and jar 

fresh ingredients for shortterm 

refrigerator storage or 

for immediate enjoyment. 

“This is a way to preserve 

flavors of summer to 

use now and a little later,” 

Ward said. 

Some recipes of the day 

featured tomatoes for a 

simple sauce, strawberry 

jam and pickled red onions. 

The tomatoes were 

cooked down for 30-40 

minutes, then strained 

through a food mill. Sauce 

ingredients included shallots, 

garlic, basil, olive oil 

and salt and pepper. The 

skins and seeds of the tomatoes 

were saved to make 

bruschetta. 

A strawberry jam was 

Lesley Ward puts together ingredients for pickled red 

onions in a jar. 

also made by cooking the 

fruit with lemon juice and 

organic cane sugar. Once 

cooled, all preparations 

were poured into jars. The 

sauce lasts one week in the 

refrigerator, while the jam 

lasts two weeks. 

Participants made a 

pickled-red-onion condiment 

with distilled vinegar, 

organic cane sugar, 

salt and water. It refrigerates 

for about one week 

and makes an possible 

topping for pizza or sandwiches. 

Lemon peels and strawberry 

tops were turned into 

lemonade as Ward showed 

the participants various 

ways to maximize most of 

the produce.

• Sciatica 

• Aches and 

Pains 

• Inflammation 

As we age, the occasional aches and 

pains of everyday life become less 

and less occasional. Most of us are 

bothered by sore muscles, creaky joints 

and general fatigue as we go through 

the day and it’s made worse by 

everything from exertion and stress to 

arthritis and a number of other ailments. 

Sure, there are pills and creams that 

claim to provide comfort, but there 

is only one 100% natural way to feel 

better… hydrotherapy. Now, the world 

leader in hydrotherapy has invented the 

only shower that features Jacuzzi ® Jets. 

It’s called the Jacuzzi ® Hydrotherapy 

Shower, and it can truly change your life.

powerful benefits of 

soothing hydrotherapy 

into millions of homes. 

Now, they’ve created 

a system that can fit in 

the space of your existing 

bathtub or shower and give you 

a lifetime of enjoyment, comfort and 

pain-relief. They’ve thought of everything. 

From the high-gloss acrylic surface, 

slip-resistant flooring, a hand-held shower 

wand to a comfortable and adjustable seat, 

to strategically-placed grab bars and lots of 

storage, this shower has it all.

Hydrotherapy Shower? Call now… it’s

Bionic Brandon (right) takes imaginary DNA from 

volunteer Kona Schorr to see if “she is in a good mood.” 

The Malibu Library 

hosted a science program 

called Marvels in Motion 

on Thursday, July 14. “Bionic 

Brandon” introduced 

children to Isaac Newton’s 

laws of physics through his 

“Up, Up and Away” demonstrations. 

Children assisted in a 

series of experiments. One 

of them was “The Flamingo 

Didgeridoo,” which 

employed a long tube that 

created a humming sound 

effect when the ethanol inside 

it was lit and travelled 

down the cylinder. 

Another test involved 

a long stick held by two 

volunteers with a stuffed 

animal on a bungee to demonstrate 

centripetal motion. 

Children also learned 

about inertia and its relationship 

with mass and momentum 

when a volunteer 

was asked to spin while 

seated on a disc. They 

also learned Newton’s law 

of every action having an 

equal and opposite reaction 

when a rocket car used a 

fire extinguisher to propel 

it forward. 

Bionic Brandon wowed 

his volunteers and audience 

when he created exothermic 

reactions by mixing 

manganese dioxide with 

hydrogen peroxide. The 

concoction caused smoke 

and a fire flash effect. 

The program was sponsored 

by the Los Angeles 

Country Library.

Don’t Panic, It’s Organic 

Much ado about mulch: Clearing up misconceptions 

Andy Lopez 

Contributing Columnist 

Invisible Gardener 

Today, I would like to 

clear up some misconceptions 

about 

mulch. 

First off, mulch is not a 

soil amendment. Instead, 

its primary job is to protect 

the ground. And, there are 

different types of mulch 

depending on their uses. 

Mulch that is meant to 

not only protect the soilm 

but also to decompose and 

add humus, is made up of 

finer materials that have a 

certain amount of shredded 

fine tree bark along 

with some compost. My 

favorite is called Azalea/ 

Gardenia mix, made from 

earthworm castings and 

fine tree cuttings with the 

various biologicals added. 

Here’s a 

photo op!

• Sports 

If you’re interested in being a part The Malibu Surfside News, contact of 

Christopher Bashaw at chris@malibusurfsidenews.com or (310) 457-2112. 

While this is for acid-loving 

plants like azaleas and 

gardenias, it works great 

here in Malibu because 

the soil here is so alkaline, 

and the acid mulch helps to 

bring the pH levels down 

to more acceptable quantities 

to the plants. The ideal 

pH is 6.5-6.8. Malibu soil 

is 7.4 or higher. 

Then there is decorative 

mulch that is meant to be 

there not just for sun protection, 

but for looks. This 

stuff does nothing to add 

humus to the soil. So it is 

not a good idea to simply 

mulch away with this stuff, 

thinking that it is good for 

the earth. Just applying 

wood chips or wood shavings 

on top of the ground 

does nothing to help the 

soil hold water or to assist 

the plants. It is, therefore, 

important that you apply 

rock dust and compost, 

then mulch it over with the 

chips if you want. 

If you do not properly 

take care of the soil, it will 

harden on you and make 

watering down deep, difficult, 

if not impossible. 

Also, many folks believe 

mulching will bring termites 

around. This is not 

true. Termites do not live 

in live wood, and if the 

wood is dead and shredded, 

that process alone will 

kill them. But when wood 

is piled up, it will heat up, 

and that will finish off any 

that are left. Also, termites 

need a source of water and 

a way to make tunnels to 

connect them together. 

Wood chips or any mulch 

will not support termites or 

any other type of insects. 

Another thing about 

mulch that many folks 

believe to be true — but 

are totally wrong about — 

is the belief that mulch will 

burn and is a fire hazard. 

Mulch is not burnable once 

it starts to decompose. 

Wood chips will get wet 

from regular watering and 

will stay moist. On top of 

that, if there is a fire, all 

you have to do is to soak 

the mulch and it will act as 

an additional fire barrier. 

I would place a drip 

system which would get 

buried over by the wood 

chips. This would keep 

the water below ground 

and help the soil to retain 

it longer. It is of particular 

Come visit our showroom 

importance to apply rock 

dust, compost and mulch 

around trees as well as the 

drip system. I use what I 

call “tree vents” (clay drain 

pipes available from Bourget 

Bros in Santa Monica). 

These pipes are about 1.5 

feet long and get buried 

into the ground at ground 

level with a two-gallonper-hour 

drip head placed 

above it. The whole thing 

gets mulched over. 

Inside the tree vents 

is where you apply the 

organic fertilizers and/ 

or special liquids that not 

only fertilize the trees, but 

help to establish a microbial 

colony around the tree 

roots. By providing weekly 

deep watering, it will 

encourage the tree roots 

to be robust and healthy 

and allows it to withstand 

drought and stress. 

Many folks have been 

applying a basic mulch 

from tree bark without 

applying proper nutrients, 

nor properly watering, and 

therefore are now having 

tree problems because the 

soil is drying up. 

Do you know what you 

get when you add water to 

clay and then heat it up? 

Ceramic. Simple. 

This year has already 

been one of the hottest years 

for Malibu ever. We moved 

here in 1984 and have never 

seen it get to 100 degrees 

here. This year we will see 

more days of very high temperatures, 

and, if you are not 

careful, you will lose your 

trees overnight. One day the 

tree looks fine, the next day, 

it is dead. 

So mulching is only one 

important aspect of proper 

property care. Learn the 

different types of mulch 

and the different ways you 

can use them. Make sure 

you have changed over to 

a drip system that you bury 

under the mulch. Just be 

aware that the drip system 

will have to be changed in 

about five to 10 years. The 

newer systems will last 

longer than the previous 

versions of drip systems 

because the newer drip 

lines have drip heads built 

into them, as well as pressure 

regulators. 

I would add a fertigation 

unit into the drip lines 

so that you can then add 

various organics to the fertigation 

unit and it will automatically 

go out through 

the drip lines to the property. 

Ideal for compost tea 

or an organic slow release 

fertilizer. Look up fertigation 

on Google to find out 

more. Try Ezy-Gro units, 

as they are the best. 

So please, before you 

apply mulch, give the soil 

a good layer of rock dust 

for minerals, compost for 

nutrients, microbes, and 

then mulch it over. You 

should have converted 

everything over to drip 

except the lawn. Plus, there 

is a way to bury the drip 

line in the yard, too. 

Best to water deeply 

once or twice a week, then 

to do shallow watering 

daily or every other day. 

Shallow watering causes 

plants and trees to have 

roots along the top and not 

deeper. Shallow roots will 

get burned by the heat. 

Also, you need to be careful 

of overwatering as well 

as underwatering. Can you 

tell the difference?

Arts festival previews lacking in attendees

The 45th annual 

Malibu arts festival 

is upon us. Having 

covered it last year, I for one 

am pretty excited about this 

year’s event. 

Not only will there be all 

types of artwork to enjoy, 

talk about and digest, but 

many of the artists will be 

either from Malibu or are 

currently living in Malibu. 

So in a lot of ways, it’s

the type of local event that 

many Malibu residents love 

to attend. 

The Malibu Chamber of 

Commerce has said previously 

that this year’s arts 

festival will be different as 

it will try to feature more 

local Malibu talent and will 

include different areas of 

art so that attendees can 

one minute be surrounded 

by paintings, and the next 

minute be surrounded by 

photography or other media. 

There’s just one tiny 

problem. In the months 

leading up to the festival, 

not very many people seem 

to have shown up to the two 

art pop-ups meant to get 

Malibu residents excited 

for the festival. I know this 

because I have now covered 

two of the three pop-ups. 

Always wanted to have an extra TV 

wherever you are or go? High cost of cable 

keep you from adding extra TVs? Now 

you can have digital TV available all the 

time and never again miss the news, local 

weather, or your “stories,” all without 

having to pay for an extra cable box! 

This portable and lightweight crystalclear 

digital TV even works in your 

car—and like your favorite large digital 

TV—it has a wonderfully clear picture! The 

generous 9” screen is bright and brilliant. 

There’s even an additional external 

The only people I’ve seen 

that actually show up to the 

brief art installations are the 

members of the chamber 

of commerce, the artists 

themselves and the family 

or a couple of friends of the 

artists. I have not seen very 

many passersby or people 

from Malibu who attended 

just to appreciate the art. 

So what gives? It could 

be that the promotion of the 

events needs improvement. 

On the other hand, the promotion 

could be going just 

fine, but the interest in the 

Malibu community could 

be low. That question is not 

mine to answer. 

But neither of those two 

reasons make much sense, 

at least to me. The arts 

festival will be entering its 

45th year, which means 

This portable TV receives HD signals from all 

your local over-the-air stations, on your patio, 

in the kitchen and so many more places. 

it’s been successful enough 

for Malibu residents to be 

interested in it and anything 

having to do with it for quite 

some time. 

Also, I know that there 

are many artists of all types 

that currently live in Malibu. 

So the idea that neighbors 

and art lovers in the city 

aren’t flooding the installations 

as much as possible is 

a bit surprising to me. 

Whatever the reason, 

there will be one last twoweek 

pop-up in Malibu very 

soon, just before the July 30 

main event. 

So for all those Malibu 

residents who love the arts 

festival won’t want to miss 

that last pop-up. It’s the

of what you’ve been loving 

for the last 45 years.

Surf rock legend to play one night at Casa Escobar 

Barbara Burke 


If You Go 

Where: Casa Escobar, 

22969 Pacific Coast 

Highway, Malibu 

When: 9 p.m. (doors) 

Tickets: www. 

LiveFromMalibu.com 

For one night only, Saturday, 

July 23, Malibu’s 

Casa Escobar at Malibu Inn 

will serve as a venue for a 

performance by Dick Dale, 

the legendary guitarist who 

taught Jim Hendrix how to 

play the slide left-handed, 

wrote the soundtrack for 

Pulp Fiction, was dubbed 

by Guitar Player Magazine 

the “Father of Heavy 

Metal,” was called one of 

the 100 greatest guitarists 

of all time by Rolling Stone 

magazine, and is referred to 

at times as the “King of the 

Surf Guitar.” 

When you review all 

Dale has accomplished, 

you are amazed — and the 

same feeling goes for many 

who have heard the rock-nroller 

play, including Matt 

Diamond, producer of the 

upcoming concert.. 

“Everyone who sees 

Dick play is blown away,” 

Diamond said. “If you attend 

the show, you are going 

to see the most legendary, 

vivacious, inspiring 

performance by anyone, 

let alone a man who is 79 

years old. His chops are 

next level. They’re beyond 

those of any player today. 

His musical ability will 

push the limits of the show. 

You’ll see a ball of energy 

from one of the industry’s 

legends. He’s guaranteed to 

blow your socks off.” 

Dick Dale and Leo Fender 

created and pioneered 

Fender equipment in the 

1950s and ’60s, including 

the Stratocaster guitar. Dale 

ignited California’s surfing 

cult in during that time 

with such hits as “Mr. Peppermint 

Man,” “King of 

the Surf Guitar,” “Let’s Go 

Trip-pin’,” “Surf Beat” and 

“Miserlou,” a surf rock version 

of a folk song. 

Dale made waves with 

his fat, edgy sound and 

aggressive, proto-metal attack. 

“Miserlou,” released 

in 1962, marked the first 

use of a Fender reverb unit 

on a popular record to create 

an underwater sound 

with lots of echo. His music 

came from wild animals 

roaring, Gene Krupa’s 

drum rhythm, and indigenous 

people dancing. Dale 

plays upside down, backwards, 

left-handed. 

As the old saying goes, 

“You can’t know where 

you’re going unless you 

know where you’ve been.” 

Before the concert, Malibuites 

who want a history 

lesson should go back in 

time and take a listen to 

some of Dale’s sensational 

sounds or see movies Dale 

was featured in, including 

“Let’s Make Love,” “A 

Swingin’ Affair,” “Beach 

Party,” “Muscle Beach Party,” 

“Back to the Beach,” 

and “Local Boys.” 

Now 79 years young and 

still giggin’, Dale has been 

going at it strong – very 

strong – for more than 60 

years. His music is still relevant 

and pervasive today. 

Director Quentin Tarantino 

used Dale’s music in the 

opening scene of Pulp Fiction, 

sparking a surf/rock 

music revival. 

Dale still goes trippin.’ 

Join him on Saturday, July 

23 at the Casa Escobar. He 

will be well accompanied. 

One of America’s newest 

Surf rock guitarist Dick Dale will perform for one night on Saturday, July 23, at Casa Escobar Malibu. Photo Submitted 

excellent musicians emerging 

from the Malibu Guitar 

Festival, Mike Hayes and 

his Malibu All Stars, and 

the Bruce Pied Blues Band 

will open for Dick Dale. 

Come enjoy an evening 

of incredible, one-of-a kind 

music by one of America’s 

music legends who helped 

start it all and is still living 

it. The show’s promoter, 

Diamond Lane Entertainment, 

has partnered with 

the Surfrider Foundation 

for a no-plastics initiative. 

At the show, no plastic 

straws will be used, and 

the Surfrider Foundation 

will be selling their clean 

canteen cups to be used 

for concertgoers to enjoy a 

drink from Casa Escobar’s 

excellent selection during 

the concert. 

“We are super stoked 

that the venue will have 

no plastic straws,” said 

Greg Welch, treasurer for 

the Surfrider Foundation. 

“Clean canteen stainless 

steel reusable cups are an 

excellent alternative to 

single-use plastics. They 

leave a zero footprint.” 

A portion of proceeds 

from the concert will go to 

the West Los Angeles-Malibu 

chapter of the Surfrider 

Foundation, a volunteerbased, 

environmental nonprofit 

group dedicated to 

the protection and enjoyment 

of Malibu’s 31 miles 

of coastline. For more information, 

visit wlam.surfrider.org. 

Tickets for the Dick Dale 

show are available at www.

Those that want to arrive 

early can enjoy dinner at 

the Casa Escobar Malibu. 

Reservations are suggested.

New EP features DJ’s younger brother 

BerklEy Mason 


Malibu local and California 

State University, 

Monterey Bay film graduate 

Calvin Alice-Demorest, 

after living in the bay area 

for some time, decided he 

had better move back to 

Los Angeles to pursue film. 

That is what he thought, 

anyway, before he ended 

up on a completely different 

path than he had anticipated 

— music production. 

Growing up between 

Venice Beach and the San 

Fernando Valley, Alice-Demorest, 

27, has been “makin’ 

beats” since he was in 

high school, but it wasn’t 

until recently that his longtime 

hobby transitioned 

into something much more 

professional. After a yearand-a-half 

of tutorials and 

practice, the local DJ, who 

calls himself Photon A.D., 

finally felt “comfortable” 

with the more intricate music 

production programs, 

particularly Ableton Live. 

“It’s really tough to learn 

a new music program,” Alice-Demorest 

said. “Before 

[I started using Ableton 

Live], I was using Garage- 

Band. It took me a yearand-a-half 

of Ableton Live 

tutorials before I really got 

comfortable with [the program]. 

Now, it feels like, 

‘Where am I going to drive 

my spaceship today? What 

planet am i going to end up 

in?’” 

Alice-Demorest is a local 

DJ in Malibu and recently 

released his electronic 

dance music album, “Love 

Blast EP,” gaining more 

than 400 plays within the 

first two days of its release. 

“The scene that I really 

want to get into and start 

playing more shows in is 

the fusion of where yoga 

meets electronic music — 

I feel like that’s the best,” 

Alice-Demorest said. “A 

lot of it is a little bit slower 

than the ravey stuff, [but] 

there’s a message in that 

[scene]. It’s like, ‘Yeah, 

you’re actually a beautiful 

person’ [because] the music 

is making you feel like you 

can kick your life’s butt.” 

“Love Blast EP” demonstrates 

a unique collaboration 

of various artists in 

Los Angeles, including his 

9-year-old brother, Julian 

Tompkins, who is featured 

playing the violin on the 

track “Feelin’ Fresh.” 

Tompkins said his brother 

wanted a new element to 

his sound, so he suggested 

he play the violin on his 

new record. Alice-Demorest 

agreed, much to Tompkins’ 

excitement. 

“I was kind of nervous 

[about] messing up,” 

Tompkins said, “but in the 

end, it turned out pretty 

well, because it was better 

than I thought it would be.” 

Along with Alice-Demorest 

and Tompkins, another 

Malibu local is featured 

in the DJ’s music, but 

in an unexpected fashion. 

Elaine Wong, a vocalist 

featured on another track, 

works at a local yoga studio, 

one which Alice-Demorest 

frequents. 

Wong, who leads guided 

meditations, one day said a 

Buddhist prayer with which 

Alice-Demorest connected. 

Alice-Demorest said he felt 

the prayer represented the 

message he wishes to communicate 

to his listeners 

through his music. 

“I heard her saying this 

Buddhist prayer/meditation 

thing for love, kindness 

and compassion, and 

[then] putting it into the 

universe,” Alice-Demorest 

said. “[Then I] asked her if 

I could record her. So we 

went back into the meditation 

room and I recorded 

her on my iPhone. I got 

home, cut it in, gave her 

some reverb, and it turned 

out well.” 

In addition to Wong’s vocals, 

Alice-Demorest used 

another meditation instructor 

for a similar reason. 

Sampled in that same song 

is S.N. Goenka, a master of 

Vipassana yoga who started 

meditation centers all over 

India, later extending to 

various cultures all over the 

world, said Alice-Demorest, 

who has taken two of 

Goenka’s courses. 

“You go meditate for 10 

days straight — you can’t 

talk, you can’t write, no 

electronics, and it’s free 

for all 10 days — room and 

board is paid for [as well],” 

Alice-Demorest said. 

“There’s assistant teachers 

there that help you through 

the meditation process; you 

can’t even give them money 

until you’ve done the 

course and further know its 

purpose.” 

Despite Goenka being 

deceased, Alice-Demorest 

managed to electronically 

insert an old recording of 

his voice, which he finds 

to be very “focused, and 

clear” sounding. 

“I put in Goenka with 

Elaine, [but] in two different 

sections of the song,” 

Alice-Demorest said. “It’s 

a tool to help your consciousness 

expand.” 

Alice-Demorest does not 

limit his work to just one 

Calvin Alice-Demorest featured his violin-playing 9-year-old brother, Julian Tompkins, 

on one of the tracks from the DJ’s new EP. BerkLEy Mason/22nd Century Media 

electronic genre of music. 

Through the collaboration 

of various instrumentals — 

violin, guitar, a number of 

vocalists, tambourines, etc. 

— the local DJ hopes to 

take his listeners on a “musical 

journey” that makes 

people feel “inspired and 

peaceful,” but also “funky,” 

Alice-Demorest said. 

“A lot of stuff in an [electronic 

music] genre sounds 

similar within that genre, 

so I’m kind of bringing that 

wobbly flow and applying 

it to psytrance,” Alice-Demorest 

said. “I try to have a 

lot of different vocal layers 

and tribal elements to make 

[my track] pop out, rather 

than just using the standard 

format of the song, which 

most [DJ’s] end up using.

Ride of the week 

Hollywood stuntman Jeff Jensen’s Malibu rover 

Fireball Tim Lawrence 

Contributing Columnist 

Malibu resident 

I’m grateful to call Jeff 

Jensen a friend. But 

he’s more than that. As 

a truly successful stuntman 

in Hollywood over the last 

30-plus years — and after 

breaking nearly every bone 

in his body — Jeff has 

settled on directing films. 

And as cool as that it is, 

this where the article is all 

about the cars, baby. So 

let’s do this thing. 

Last week, I ran into Jeff 

at the Trancas Starbucks. 

We’d been neighbors over 

the years, love cars and 

movies and so we had a 

grip of stuff to talk about. 

When Jensen asked me to 

join him for an off-road 

jaunt in his Polaris Razor 

Buggy, I leaped. We’d 

meet up in a couple days 

and cruise out to Acton, 

Calif., to get dirty. But in 

that conversation, Jeff also 

mentioned his new 2016 

Range Rover HSE Td6. 

‘Ah ha, time for a Ride of 

the Week,’ I thought. 

Jensen said this fullsize 

Range Rover HSE 

comes with a six-cylinder 

turbo diesel engine with 

start-stop technology, 

eight-speed gearbox with 

normal and sport modes, 

paddle shifters, high- and 

low-range transfer case 

and adjustable ride height 

air suspension. All that 

and a 7,900-pound towing 

capacity. He picked it up in 

Ventura at the Jaguar-Land 

Rover dealer. 

Jensen and I have a bit 

of history together as we 

have lived on the same 

street for a number of 

years. Being the amazing 

stuntman that he was, he 

doubled Sean Connery in 

one of the “Indiana Jones” 

films, John Goodman as 

Fred Flintstone and has 

jumped, dived, rolled and 

crashed more than just 

about anyone in the business. 

He’s also an accomplished 

Pikes Peak racer 

and has competed at at the 

Baja 1,000. 

When we got into the 

Buggy out in Acton, I 

knew that this off-road 

speed machine was going 

to take me to my edge. 

And that we did. You can 

watch the episode on my 

vlog at www.youtube.com/ 

fireball, episode No. 380. 

But hanging with Jensen 

brought back some interesting 

memories, like that 

time he spiral fractured his 

knee for the 18th time and 

I, along with five fire fighters, 

drug him out of his 

place and down the hillside 

to a waiting ambulance. 

Jensen told me he’d never 

ride again. 

But, of course he did. 

And with a big fat smile 

too. Typical stuntman. But 

let’s get back to the car. 

“This is my ninth Range 

Rover,” Jensen told me. 

“They’re luxurious, yet a 

truly exceptional off-road 

vehicle that drives while 

towing my motorcycles 

and race cars as if you’re 

not even towing a trailer.” 

Then Jensen shared what 

he felt was the best aspect 

of the car. 

“Literally everything,” 

Jensen said. “[It has a] 

luxurious interior with all 

the latest driver aids and 

electronics [and] beautiful 

exterior styling and 

Jeff Jensen stands beside his new 2016 Range Rover HSE Td6. 

Fireball Tim Lawrence/22nd Century Media 

the legendary Land Rover 

heritage.” 

Jensen uses it for work, 

play and social, but here’s 

his best story. 

“They’re so prevalent 

in Malibu that I joke that 

they’re a Malibu station 

wagon that the house keepers 

and nannies drive to the 

market,” Jensen said. “I 

can now tell people I drive 

an economy car since it’s 

the first vehicle with four 

wheels I’ve ever owned 

that gets over 20 [miles per 

gallon]. Or you can look at 

it is a $110,000 dog hauler 

(in my case anyway).” It’s 

true, too, as his pup Dino 

joined us for the trip. 

And these truer words 

were never spoken better 

by a stuntman. Jeff doesn’t 

like a lot about Malibu 

until we have a natural 

disaster, which is usually 

once per decade, and 

Pacific Coast Highway is 

shut down. 

“Our town becomes an 

island for a few days,” 

Jensen said. 

Jeff is truly an amazing 

guy who has brought a 

lifetime of entertainment 

to us all and we should be 

grateful. He deserves all 

the toys of movie success. 

And in his words that 

have become his philosophy: 

“I’m Jeff Jensen. Fall 

down, pick up check.”

DJ 

From Page 23 

You just [want to] have 

your own flare, you know?” 

Alice-Demorest illustrated 

what that journey 

might be like when describing 

of a new electronic 

genre and scene called 

Ecstatic Dance, which 

is somewhat similar to 

“short dance parties,” but 

they take place all over 

the world. The dancing is 

specific to a unique type of 

“flowy” movements. Typically 

these “dance parties” 

take place in “positive environments” 

that promote 

a healthy lifestyle, Alice- 

Demorest said. 

“Some of [the Ecstatic 

Dance parties] start with 

yoga to warm up your 

body, then moving into a 

dance party, and then at the 

end, there’s sound healing 

and maybe even meditation 

— so, it’s this guided 

dance journey,” Alice-Demorest 

said. “While you’re 

dancing, it’s encouraged 

not to talk to anyone, so 

you only talk to people 

through your dance.” 

But Alice-Demorest’s 

future endeavors do not exclusively 

involve the music 

industry. He also has been 

incorporating his knowledge 

of film into his professional 

music career through 

the production of various 

music videos, which are 

still in the beginning stages 

of production. 

“I want to integrate film 

and all kinds of other media 

[into my work],” Alice-Demorest 

said. “I‘m 

really into stage shows 

— big productions where 

there’s lasers and smoke, 

or people popping out of 

the floor — but I would 

also like to have a full 

band that plays with the 

electronic music, [along 

with] original songs that 

I’ve written.” 

Along with his large 

spectrum of ideas and musical 

aspirations, Alice-Demorest 

seems like a unique 

DJ in that he uses his musical 

abilities to empower 

individuals and ultimately 

to make the world a more 

peaceful, beautiful place. 

“Often, I will use the 

smoke around my computer 

and music gear and ask that 

only positive vibes come 

through,” Alice-Demorest 

said. “And before I start I 

will set an intention — usually 

that I be guided by my 

highest self [in order] to 

channel the frequencies and 

sounds that will spread the 

most love and peace to the 

universe as possible.”

The Dish 

Marmalade Cafe answers customers’ call for healthier items 


Around Malibu, Marmalade 

Cafe has the reputation 

for serving food of the comfort 

variety — pot pies, pot 

roast, breakfast plates, etc. 

So when the restaurant rolled 

out its new seasonal menu a 

few weeks ago, one would 

think that the new items 

would carry the same theme. 

Well, think again. 

Marmalade Cafe’s seasonal 

menu is chock full of 

dishes on the healthier and 

lighter sides of the spectrum. 

The new item that exemplifies 

that shift the most 

is the So Cal Summer Salad 

($12.99), which features 

locally sourced baby kale, 

toasted almonds, strawberries, 

Coachella Valley dates 

and goat cheese tossed with 

a wildflower honey vinaigrette. 

The salad tastes so fresh 

that after taking just one bite 

Malibu diners will feel as 

if they stepped out into the 

ocean breeze. For those that 

want to unvegetarianize the 

dish, patrons can add meat 

to the salad such as chicken 

or grilled salmon. 

Alex Bekeza, general 

manager at the cafe, said 

one of the best aspects of 

the salad is the local feel to 

its ingredients. 

“All of the ingredients 

in there ... and the ingredients 

for the dressing are all 

from Southern California,” 

Bekeza said. “That’s something 

that the whole country, 

but specifically Malibu, 

really has — a desire to eat 

locally. So that’s something 

we try to echo here.” 

Alex said adding some 

healthier items to the menu 

came as a direct result of 

what Malibu residents 

wanted in the choices there. 

“On this rollout, not only 

did we respond to Malibu’s 

request for ingredients like 

quinoa and baby kale, but 

we also created some recipes 

that are a lot more healthconscious,” 

Bekeza said. 

As a result of the initiative, 

the items on the new 

seasonal menu have had 

the best reception from the 

community that any other 

seasonal menu rollout, 

Bekeza said. The restaurant 

has offered a special seasonal 

menu for the last four 

or five years, he said. 

“If you look at our product 

mix of what we’ve been 

selling, it’s overwhelmingly 

[that] the top-fiveselling 

items are off of this 

[menu],” Bekeza said. 

Other dishes not to miss: 

•Pan-roasted British Columbia 

salmon ($20.99): 

Sustainably farmed salmon 

served with quinoa kale tabbouleh 

salad, cucumber yogurt 

sauce and pea tendrils. 

•Crispy Chicken Sandwich 

($13.99): Mary’s 

chicken breast, crispy fried 

on a toasted La Brea bakery 

brioche bun with buttermilk 

jalapeno slaw and pickled 

red onion served with a 

choice of fries, soup, Caesar 

or mixed green salad. 

The Crispy Chicken Sandwich is a little on the heavier 

side, but does feature some healthy ingredients.

Budding track stars learn sport’s events 


A small group of Malibu 

children learned the ins 

and outs of track and field 

events at a City of Malibu 

camp last week at Malibu 

High School. 

The four-day camp consisted 

of the participants 

learning the proper way to 

run, long jump, high jump, 

hurdle and even throw a 

javelin. On the last day of 

the camp, the children competed 

in a miniature track 

meet. 

On Wednesday, July 13, 

the camp focused on high 

jump and hurdles fundamentals. 

MHS pole vault 

coach Tim Ward, along 

with his daughter Madeleine, 

led the group through 

various drills designed to 

teach proper form for both 

events. 

While Ward said the 

events they teach change 

every year depending on 

what the children want 

to learn, every day of the 

camp focuses on proper 

running techniques regardless 

of what sport they like. 

“Whatever sport you’re 

into — whether it’s soccer, 

football, tennis — the 

biomechanics of how you 

run are still relevant,” Ward 

said. “We also try to teach 

kids [that] once you learn 

the correct biomechanics, 

then you can manipulate 

those biomechanics to 

learn how to run faster or 

quicker depending upon 

your sport.” 

In addition to teaching 

people how to run the right 

way, Ward said he track 

and field camp also functions 

as a means to get the 

sport more recognition and 

popularity. 

“It’s just to give everybody 

a full understanding... 

[to] gain their interest in 

track and field so they continue 

doing it,” Ward said.

Walley will play for LMU next fall 


Malibu High School 

graduate Britty Walley’s 

middle name is Jean, but it 

might as well be Determination. 

During her playing career 

as a defender for the MHS 

girls soccer team and the 

Eagles Soccer Club, Walley 

had been told by a few 

coaches that she was not tall 

enough to play her position. 

She even was once told by 

MHS coach Jack Craig that 

she could not play Division 

I soccer because of her stature, 

Walley said. 

But instead of cowering 

and quitting the sport she 

has played since before she 

could remember, Walley 

used those opinions as fuel. 

“It doesn’t really bother 

me, because then I just 

love to prove people like 

that wrong,” Walley said. 

“That’s just who I am.” 

That mentality propelled 

Walley into choosing 

Loyola Marymount University 

as her school of choice 

this fall, a school with a Division 

I soccer program. 

Walley grew up in a soccer 

family. Her father played 

professionally in England 

for Crystal Palace, and her 

older brother, London, also 

played throughout his childhood. 

When Walley was introduced 

to the sport, she naturally 

took to and fell in love 

with it, she said. 

Determination has been 

a theme throughout Walley’s 

soccer career. During 

a Surf Cup Thanksgiving 

tournament this past year 

with her club team, she was 

told she would face nationally 

ranked forwards and 

not to be discouraged if they 

played well against her. 

But Walley would not 

have it. During one game, 

she effectively shut down 

the girl she guarded. 

Walley defended so well 

that game that she received 

an email from a coach familiar 

with the opposing 

team’s star player and told 

Walley he had never seen 

anyone take that player out 

of a game. 

Walley’s team was considered 

an underdog in that 

tournament, but ended up 

tied for first after beating the 

third-place team and tying 

both the second- and firstplace 

teams. 

“That makes me happy, 

because if people say you 

can’t do something, I love 

showing that if you put your 

mind to it, you can accomplish 

anything,” she said. 

Walley’s teammate and 

longtime friend Sasha Savitsky 

attested to Walley’s 

prove-them-wrong attitude 

when she recalled a Sharks’ 

road game against the 

Santa Paula Cardinals this 

past season. Walley, who 

normally plays defender, 

worked her way into scoring 

position twice and put away 

two goals. The Sharks won 

that game. 

“She wanted to win, she 

wanted our team to win, 

and she brought this sort of 

confidence that we were not 

just going to want to win, 

but we were going to win,” 

“If people say you can’t do 

something, I love showing that if 

you put your mind to it, you can 

accomplish anything.” 

Britty Walley — MHS graduate who will play 

soccer at Loyola Marymount this fall 

Savitsky said of Walley. 

“With that, the team kind of 

stepped up their game.” 

Savitsky, who described 

Walley as a “brick wall” 

because of her defensive 

prowess, said Walley leads 

by example and pointed at 

her natural inclination to 

rise to any occasion. 

“There’s definitely no 

challenge that she isn’t up 

for,” Savitsky said. “I’ve 

never seen her not be able to 

accomplish something that 

she set her mind to.” 

Walley said she chose 

to play D-I soccer because 

both the sport and her education 

would be priorities 

and that soccer would not 

be an afterthought like programs 

in lower divisions. 

“I think playing Division I 

is a privilege,” Walley said. 

“Not anyone can play [Division] 

I. ... I kind of love that 

challenge and I take things 

head on.” 

Craig confirmed to the 

Malibu Surfside News that 

he once told Walley she was 

too short to play Division I 

soccer. At the time, Craig 

said he did not feel she fit 

the prototypical body type 

of center backs playing at 

high-level Division I programs, 

he said. 

“I guess I was wrong,” 

Craig said. 

The MHS coach also 

said Walley played through 

various nagging injuries 

not only because she loved 

the game but also loved her 

team. 

But if there existed one 

overarching example of 

Walley’s mindset, it might 

be found in the email signature 

she used during her 

recruitment process. The 

message still exists, in allcapital 

letters and italics. 

“My mind is my greatest 

strength,” Walley’s email 

signature reads. “I lock on 

the ball and I tell myself nobody 

is going to beat me. I 

will never quit. ... I will never 

give up ... and the word 

‘can’t’ does not exist in my 

mind.” 

MHS grad and defender Britty Walley has been called a 

“brick wall” by teammates. Alex Vejar/22nd Century Media

Children get competitive 

at Malibu basketball camp 


Those who wanted to “be like Mike” or 

crown themselves the new “King James” 

got their chance to show their skills at the 

first session of the City of Malibu’s basketball 

camp last week at Malibu High 

School. 

A few children learned the basics of 

basketball, including dribbling, passing, 

shooting and other fundamentals at 

the camp taught by MHS girls basketball 

coach Andy Meyer. 

“We do things to make it a learning experience 

but also a fun experience for [the 

children],” said Meyer, who has been running 

the camp for about six years. 

Meyer said the camp is good exercise 

for children who are home for summer 

and away from regular physical education 

classes offered during the school year. 

He also said the players get to socialize 

with their friends and make new friends in 

the process. 

“I think [it’s just as good] to learn how 

to play with kids you don’t know and then 

have competition with kids you don’t know 

and kids you know,” Meyer said. 

Players on the MHS girls basketball 

team volunteered their time and expertise 

to the young children throughout last week 

and will continue to do so in the next session. 

“It’s nice to see them grow also,” Meyer 

said. 

The camp lasted four days and is continuing 

this week for its second session of 

the summer.

10 Questions 

with Kevyn Linden 

Kevyn Linden is a motorcycle 

racer and an incoming 

junior at Malibu High 

School. 

How and when did 

you get start with 

motocross? 

I was 5 and a half years 

old when I first started. My 

dad used to race professionally, 

so he got me into it. 

What do you like most 

about motocross? 

The intensity. It’s just 

such an intense sport. 

There’s nothing like it in 

the world. It’s so competitive 

and just gets everything 

going — your adrenaline, 

everything. 

What is the most 

difficult aspect of 

motocross? 

The whole thing. You 

have to use every part of 

your body, from mental to 

physical. 

Who is your role model 

and why? 

Probably my dad just because 

she’s shown me that 

even going through hell, 

you can turn it around and 

still be happy. 

Describe Malibu in one 

word. 

Quiet. I live up Trancas, 

so I live on the quiet end 

of Malibu. I go from this 

quiet little town where you 

can hear the ocean at night 

to the super loud racetracks 

and everyone’s just revving 

their engines, ready to go. 

If you could have any 

superpower, what 

would it be and why? 

Speed because, like my 

dad taught me when I was 

learning how to ride a bike, 

speed is your friend. 

You’re president for 

one day. What is your 

first order of business. 

To stop having the environmentalists 

shut down 

dirt bike tracks. 

Where do you see 

yourself after high 

school? 

Probably racing professionally. 

Of course, if anything 

did go wrong, I have 

sponsors that would back 

Photo Submitted 

me up and I could be working 

with them businesswise. 

So even off the bike, I 

still have places to go. 

What is your guilty 

pleasure? 

Food-wise, it’d be cookies. 

I love cookies. As an 

action, it’s probably being 

lazy and going to the beach. 

Do you have any prerace 

rituals? 

I row [with a rowing machine] 

every single night, 

no matter what. The rowing 

machine is the best workout 

you can do for riding 

a dirt bike. At the track before 

I race, I mix Gatorade 

power and with water. It’s 

super weird, but I just don’t 

like the pre-made ones.

close with them. It’s a great 

team. I’ve watched some 

of their games the last 

couple of years and it’s an 

up-and-coming program. 

Hopefully we can have another 

great season.” 

Reyes started 33 of 35 

games as a 2014-15 sophomore 

and averaged 4.3 

points and 3.7 rebounds. 

As a 2015-16 junior, he 

came off the bench in 35 of 

36 games and averaged 2.6 

points and 2.3 rebounds. 

He and the Utes played 

in the NCAA Tournament 

both seasons. Reyes graduated 

from Utah this summer 

with a degree in communication 

studies. 

“Chris will bring a 

wealth of experience on 

and off the court that is 

needed in our program,” 

Wilson said. “His size, 

strength, athleticism and 

toughness fill an immediate 

need and will give 

him the opportunity to be 

a valuable contributor. His 

ability to score in a variety 

of ways and his ability to 

rebound in traffic are two 

things that will allow him 

to be successful at Pepperdine.”

Pepperdine’s Kim Hill makes USA Volleyball Olympic team 


University 

Pepperdine University 

alumna Kim Hill will be 

a first-time Olympian as 

USA Volleyball announced 

its 12-player indoor women’s 

roster for the upcoming 

Rio Olympics on Tuesday, 

July 12. 

Hill will be joined in 

Brazil by Pepperdine men’s 

volleyball coaches Marv 

Dunphy and David Hunt, 

who will serve on the 

U.S. coaching staff, and 

Kayla Banwarth, a libero 

for the USA. Dunphy will 

be coaching at his seventh 

Olympics and his second 

with the women’s team. 

Hunt is an assistant coach. 

Banwarth played at Nebraska 

but just finished her 

first season as a volunteer 

assistant at Pepperdine. 

The U.S. is part of Pool 

B and begins competition 

on August 6 against Puerto 

Rico. The Americans will 

also face the Netherlands, 

Serbia, Italy and China before 

the quarterfinals begin 

on August 16. 

Hill has been a mainstay 

with the U.S. squad the past 

couple of years. She earned 

the Most Valuable Player 

award at the 2014 FIVB 

World Championships as 

the team won a gold medal. 

At the recently concluded 

FIVB World Grand Prix, 

where the U.S. won the silver 

medal, she was named 

the tournament’s secondbest 

outside spiker. 

“Kim’s is a great story to 

inspire every junior – trying 

out for USA one year, 

helping lead us to a world 

championship the next, and 

playing some of her best 

volleyball this year,” USA 

coach Karch Kiraly said in 

a USA Volleyball release. 

“And you can search hard, 

but you won’t find a better 

teammate than Kim.” 

The 6-foot-4 outside hitter 

played club volleyball 

in Turkey in 2015-16, and 

was named MVP of the 

Turkish League after leading 

VakifBank to the title. 

Hill was one of the top 

indoor players in Pepperdine 

history between 2008- 

11 and also was a standout 

on the beach. She is the 

first and only person to earn 

AVCA All-America first 

team honors in both sports 

in the same school year 

(2011-12). 

With the Waves’ indoor 

team, Hill was a three-time 

All-American, earning 

honorable mention status 

in both 2009 and 2010, and 

she was the West Coast 

Conference Player of the 

Year in 2011. She finished 

with 1,300 kills, good for 

sixth all time at Pepperdine. 

On the beach, Hill was a 

member of the Waves’ inaugural 

team, which won 

the 2012 AVCA national 

championship. She repeated 

as an All-American 

during her second and final 

season in 2013.
