Graffiti cleaned, trail repaired at El Matador beach 

Alex Vejar, Assistant Editor 

California State Parks workers 

painted over graffiti and repaired a trail 

last week at El Matador State Beach. 

The graffiti that was cleaned appeared 

underneath each step of two 

sets of staircases leading to the beach’s 

parking lot from the sand below. CSP 

workers painted over the graffiti the 

morning of July 18-19. 

The workers also filled a deep trench 

that stretched from the beach to the 

parking lot. The area appeared to work 

as a walkway in between staircases. 

The workers used a compactor to fill 

the trench with dirt, making it easier 

and safer to walk on.

Malibu cemetery project inches closer to fruition 


A project over a year in the 

making to build a cemetery in 

Malibu is finally making some 

headway through Malibu’s governmental 

red tape. 

The project, deemed Malibu 

Memorial Park, calls for a chapel, 

a four-wall public mausoleum 

and thousands of burial 

plots within a 27.8-acre site 

on Malibu Canyon Road in 

the Civic Center area. In addition, 

the project features various 

horseshoe-shaped memorial 

walls for private estates, 

six half-circle crypts lining the 

side of the straight path leading 

to the chapel and 176 proposed 

parking spaces, according to 

plans submitted to the Malibu 

Planning Department. 

In recent years, it has been reported 

that the cemetery and memorial 

park could include technology 

such as voice recordings 

and holograms of the deceased, 

and the ability of visitors to find 

their loved ones’ plots with GPS. 

Those reports have not been confirmed 

by the Malibu Surfside 

News. 

A representative of Richard 

Weintraub, the developer of the 

project, said Weintraub did not 

have any comments at this time. 

An article by the New York 

Post created buzz about the project 

among the Malibu community 

in recent weeks. But the proposal 

of this project is not new. 

Project developers first submitted 

their application for the 

Malibu Memorial Park project 

in April 2015, according to planning 

department documents. 

Over the next 12 months, various 

studies and reports were filed in 

reference to the project, including 

ones looking at air quality, 

noise, traffic impact and others. 

During the application process, 

the planning department 

sent three notices to the developers 

saying their application was 

An outline and overview of the Malibu Memorial Park project proposed for the Civic Center area. Image Submitted 

incomplete and requested changes 

be made to them. 

Law firm Gaines & Stacy 

LLP, which represents the owners 

of the near-28-acre property, 

expressed frustration to Malibu 

senior planner Adrian Fernandez 

over how many times the applications 

were deemed incomplete 

by the City, according to printouts 

of emails found in planning 

department files for the project. 

The law firm suggested that the 

planning department was in violation 

of the Permit Streamlining 

Act, which aims to expedite the 

permit process for development 

projects. 

“The City’s midstream changes 

to its requirements for what 

constitutes a complete application 

are unacceptable and exactly 

the type of conduct by a 

lead agency that the PSA seeks 

to prevent,” one email from the 

law firm to Fernandez reads.

Malibu Parks and Recreation Commission 

Bluffs Parkland designs to head to coastal commission 

Eric Billingsly 

Freelance Reporter 

Recent changes to the 

City’s Integrated Pest 

Management program, 

an update on the Malibu 

Bluffs Parkland project, 

and improvements to the 

Dial-A-Ride program were 

a few of the topics discussed 

at the City of Malibu 

Parks and Recreation 

Commission meeting on 

July 19. 

Round it Up 

A brief recap of other Parks and Recreation action July 19 

•The multi-purpose field at Malibu Bluffs Park is 

currently being re-seeded, and will reopen to the 

public on Aug. 14 

•A majority of the City-sponsored summer camps for 

youth have exceeded camp participant minimums 

•The City Council recently authorized the city 

manager to execute the amendment with Santa 

Monica-Malibu Unified School District to extend the 

2013-2016 joint use agreement for an additional 

three-year period 

•The City of Malibu Parks and Recreation 

Commission will be going paperless as of the 

beginning of August 2016. 

Malibu Bluffs Parkland 

Over the past few years, 

the City of Malibu Parks 

and Recreation Commission 

has been tasked with 

developing a Park Master 

Plan for 83 acres of undeveloped 

open space adjacent 

to Malibu Bluffs Park, 

10 acres of developed 

space at the existing park 

and 1.75 acres of vacant 

land known as the Crummer 

Property. 

“We have an incredible 

opportunity to create 

a park in the center of our 

community that can fulfill 

a shortage of amenities 

for all of our community,” 

said Carl Randall, chair of 

the City of Malibu’s Parks 

and Recreation Commission. 

In 2013, the City Council 

approved a five-year 

land use agreement with 

the Santa Monica Mountains 

Conservancy, transferring 

maintenance and 

operations responsibilities 

for 525 acres of the Cityowned 

Charmlee Wilderness 

Park for the 83 acres 

of undeveloped open 

space, according to the 

City’s website. The agreement 

allows the City to access 

the property in order 

to assess the feasibility of 

developing recreational facilities 

on the site. 

The City has since 

hosted focus groups, multiple 

public meetings and 

sent out public surveys 

to gather community input 

on the Malibu Bluffs 

Parkland project. Based on 

that input, officials worked 

with consultants to create a 

draft master plan. 

The current plan includes 

adding a dog park, 

skate park, aquatic center, 

additional sports facilities, 

open space, trails, amphitheater, 

basketball courts 

and space for large community 

events, according 

to Randall. The next step is 

to gain approval from the 

California Coastal Commission. 

Malibu City staff recently 

met with staff from 

the California Coastal 

Commission to get initial 

feedback on the plan. As 

a result of the meeting, the 

draft plan will also likely 

include more emphasis 

on education about sustainability 

practices and 

the Chumash people, the 

original inhabitants of the 

Malibu area. 

City Manager Reva 

Feldman will meet with 

California Coastal Commission 

staff on Aug. 23 to 

review updates to the plan. 

“We are under the jurisdiction 

of the California 

Coastal Commission and 

have to find a park design 

that makes all parties happy,” 

Randall said. 

Dial-A-Ride changes 

In an effort to expand 

the City of Malibu’s Dial- 

A-Ride service, the City 

recently sent out a survey 

to people who use the program 

and those registered 

with the Malibu Senior 

Center. 

Survey responses led to 

three proposed changes, 

including: increasing service 

hours for trips within 

Malibu until 5:30 p.m. 

on Monday, Tuesday and 

Wednesday; increasing 

the number of one-way 

trips within Malibu people 

can use each day to three; 

and allowing users to go 

into Santa Monica service 

areas for nonmedical purposes. 

The expanded Dial-A- 

Ride services are expected 

to take effect at the beginning 

of September, said 

Theresa Odello, recreation 

coordinator with the Malibu 

Senior Center. But the 

changes still need to be 

approved by the Malibu 

City Council. The Los Angeles 

County Metropolitan 

Transportation Authority 

funds the program with 

Proposition A transportation 

dollars. 

The City of Malibu 

Dial-A-Ride program is a 

transit system that serves 

people ages 60 and older 

and those with disabilities 

who are residents of Malibu. 

It currently provides 

low-cost transportation, 

ranging from $1 to $4 one 

way, for trips within city 

limits and for medical 

appointments outside of 

Malibu. 

“The Dial-A-Ride program 

really serves seniors 

[and those with disabilities] 

in the Malibu community, 

many of whom 

are unable to drive and 

those who want to be safer 

and choose not to drive,” 

Odello said. 

There are currently 400 

registered users. 

Integrated Pest 

Management 

On June 27, the Malibu 

City Council directed 

Parks and Recreation staff 

to immediately discontinue 

the use of pesticides 

on all City-owned parks, 

roads and properties, said 

Kristin Riesgo, recreation 

manager for the City of 

Malibu. City officials 

want to establish an earthfriendly 

management policy, 

she said. 

“We always try to practice 

earth-friendly pest management 

at all of our parks,” 

Riesgo said. “This is just a 

way for the City Council to 

formally direct staff to no 

longer use pesticides. In the 

past, we’ve used pesticides 

minimally and have not 

used them at all in our parks 

since February 2016.” 

The Malibu Parks and 

Recreation Commission 

will work with the Environmental 

Sustainability 

Department to draft an Integrated 

Pest Management 

program that includes the 

City Council’s new requirements. 

CemetEry 

From Page 4 

ing its list of requirements 

for a complete application 

violates the provisions of 

the PSA.” 

Planning Director Bonnie 

Blue said in an email 

that because the proposed 

cemetery and memorial 

park has never been proposed 

before, “the standard 

submittal checklist 

doesn’t account for the 

special characteristics” of 

that type of project. 

“We try our best to anticipate 

everything we will 

need on the front end, but 

sometimes an applicant’s 

revised submittal raises 

new questions, especially 

when it’s a type of project 

we’ve never seen before,” 

Blue said. 

In a May 16 email to 

Fernandez, the law firm 

stated that a 30-day period 

during which the City had 

to respond to the developer’s 

most recent project 

application had elapsed, 

automatically deeming the 

application “complete as a 

matter of law.” 

Blue said the City typically 

does not issue a formal 

completeness letter 

until an environmental 

review is completed. That 

review is the next step in 

the process for the cemetery 

project, she said. 

The City created a landing 

page last week with 

information about the 

project, which is currently 

“under review,” according 

to the page. 

While the New York 

Post article claimed that 

Weintraub said the cemetery 

and memorial park 

would be up and running 

in 2018, that may not be 

the case. Patricia Salazar, 

senior administrative 

analyst for the planning 

department, said the City 

still has to approve various 

discretionary entitlements 

to “facilitate development 

of the proposed 

project.” 

Councilwoman Laura 

Rosenthal told the Malibu 

Surfside News that “people 

can like concepts,” but 

as it stands, the project 

has not come before any 

committees, there have 

been no votes and she 

hasn’t seen any plans for 

the project. 

“There’s a lot of uncertainty,” 

Rosenthal said.

Women cross Malibu on awareness trek up the coast 

Walk to cover all 

1,200 miles of 

Calif. Coastal Trail 

Melina Watts 


This spring, Morgan 

Visalli and Jocelyn Enevoldsen 

and their logistics 

manager Alisan Amhrein 

embarked upon a 

gargantuan trek: the MoJo 

Coastwalk, a hike of all 

1,200 miles of the California 

Coastal Trail to grow 

coastal awareness. 

When the three women 

met at the Bren School of 

Environmental Science and 

Management at University 

of California at Santa 

Barbara, they drew up the 

concept for their three-anda-half-month 

journey. 

Visalli and Enevoldsen, 

known as Mo and Jo, started 

off right above Crescent 

City this May and entered 

Malibu on Thursday, July 

21. 

When the Malibu Surfside 

News caught up with 

them at Trancas Creek, 

Visalli and Enevoldsen 

said they had walked 10-12 

miles a day for 10 weeks. 

Their knowledge of California 

ecosystems and geography 

has grown as they 

move from one California 

coast to the next, one step 

at a time. 

Because big sections of 

the trail don’t exist yet, 

they have had to do extensive 

bike-arounds to 

circumvent such sites as 

the Ventura County Naval 

Base at Port Hueneme. 

Places in Malibu, such as 

Nicholas Canyon Beach 

where the combination of 

cliffs and high tide made 

walking impossible, forced 

them to go back up to the 

Pacific Coast Highway to 

walk.

mouth of Trancas Creek, 

Visalli and Enevoldsen 

were eager to continue to 

the tide-pools past Point 

Dume. When asked how 

these regions are faring 

given their relatively recent 

protection via the 

Marine Protected Areas 

and Areas of Special Biological 

Significance status, 

Enevoldsen would not 

speculate. 

“Oh, we haven’t read 

any studies on that yet,” 

Enevoldsen said. 

Visalli then spoke about 

certain environmental conditions 

in Malibu. 

“Ideally, we’d like to see 

a reduction in armoring infrastructure,” 

Visalli said, 

adding that building new 

coastal structures that are 

set back further from the 

sea and utilizing planned 

retreat where aging structures 

are taken out will help 

address rising sea levels. 

Visalli was particularly 

struck by “a ramp to nowhere” 

on Nicholas Beach 

that could easily be removed. 

In her work with the 

Coastal Conservancy, Enevoldsen 

was impressed 

by the restoration project 

at the Malibu Lagoon and 

intrigued by potential restoration 

projects at Trancas 

Lagoon and Topanga 

Lagoon. 

Sometime after their 

journey ends, Visalli, Enevoldsen 

and Amhrein will 

create an app about the 

California Coastal Trail. 

“We learn something 

new every day,” Visalli 

said.

Vejar/22nd Century Media 

The packs of the two women read “MoJo Coast Walk.” MoJo represents the first two 

letters of each of Enevoldsen’s and Visalli’s names.

Expensive camera equipment goes missing from car’s trunk 

On July 17, a man’s camera 

equipment, leather jacket and 

sunglasses were allegedly stolen 

from the trunk of his vehicle. 

The man visited Moonshadows 

restaurant on the 20000 block of 

Pacific Coast Highway after taking 

photos at El Matador State 

Beach. He parked his car with the 

restaurant’s valet attendant. The 

man reported to police that was 

the last time he saw his property. 

The man also stated that he 

did not know if his property was 

stolen while at the restaurant or 

while his vehicle was parked 

overnight at his home.

and window hinges. The man said 

nothing appeared missing. 

May 22 

• A surfboard was allegedly stolen

indicate moves and how many are in a set. 

mixed throughout the hour 

between games such as a 

ball toss for coordination 

and a dice game, challenging 

participants to create 

their own sets of steps according 

to the numbers. 

The class ended with a 

gentle stretch cool-down 

on mats. 

“I really see a shift to a 

healthier life with a majority 

of seniors” said del 

Busto. “Seniors are in 

much better shape.” 

The Bu for Seniors is

Malibu Unification Negotiations Committee 

State funding a major concern if, when district separates 


The Malibu Unification 

Negotiations Committee on 

July 19 batted around some 

options for creating an equitable 

financial situation if 

and when the separation of 

the Santa Monica-Malibu 

Unified School District occurs. 

In its prior meeting, the 

committee of six faced 

some sobering realities that 

could make a split more 

difficult because it would 

cost the State of California 

millions of dollars to subsidize 

a Santa Monica-only 

school district, according 

to a report by the committee’s 

educational consultant 

School Services of California. 

Robert Miyashiro and 

Mike Ricketts of SSC attended 

the meeting in person 

and detailed their ideas 

for how the separation of 

the SMMUSD could benefit 

Malibu, Santa Monica 

and the State. 

The first option the consultants 

suggested involved 

doing nothing different. In 

other words, the committee 

would continue on its current 

path to a split and assume 

that the State backfill 

the financial shortfall left 

after Santa Monica is independent. 

Santa Monica team 

member Paul Silvern said 

the committee would also 

have to convince the State 

Board of Education that 

the extra money the State 

will have to pay is not “an 

adverse impact that should 

kill the separation.” 

“I think ... that is a better 

option because, obviously, 

it’s easier as a sell to 

Malibu because they end 

up with more money than 

if they had to just share 

what’s already there,” said 

Debbie Mulvaney, a Santa 

Monica team member. 

That option, however, 

would be risky because it’s 

possible the State BOE or 

the Department of Finance 

could say no because it 

costs the State money, Silvern 

said. 

The committee also 

briefly discussed the possibility 

going with the first 

option, but using special 

legislation to circumvent 

the approval process of the 

Los Angeles County Office 

of Education and the State 

Board. 

Mulvaney said using legislation 

could be beneficial 

because it is always possible 

that either LACOE or 

the State denies the separation 

based on something 

other than financial criteria. 

The second option 

caused some stir. Miyashiro 

said he and Ricketts 

were “noodling” around 

with the idea that after a 

separation occurs, two independent 

districts would 

perform financially as if 

they were still one district, 

with each city getting exactly 

the same amount of 

money as they get currently 

with SMMUSD. 

In that model, Malibu 

would not become a basic 

aid district immediately 

after a split, and it would 

agree to pay any financial 

shortfall incurred by Santa 

Monica. That way, “from 

the State’s point of view, 

there is no state costs,” Miyashiro 

said. 

Essentially, Malibu 

would have to prop up Santa 

Monica until it becomes 

a basic aid district and no 

longer needs extra funds 

from Malibu to make it financially 

viable. That option 

did not seem popular 

among the committee. 

“I don’t think it’s viable 

in any scenario,” Malibu 

team member Manel 

Sweetmore said.

Silvern said SSC should

SMMUSD Board of Education 

MHS gets new assistant principal, to increase water conservation efforts 

Cassandra Stephenson 


The Santa 

Monica-Malibu 

Unified 

School District 

Board 

appointed Dr. 

Weissman 

Hillary Weissman 

as the 

new assistant principal of 

Malibu High School at its 

July 20 meeting. 

“I just want to say I’m 

pleased to be here and very 

excited to get started and 

work with the students and 

parents and staff and the 

community of Malibu,” 

Weissman said, addressing 

the board. 

Weissman most recently 

served for two years as assistant 

principal for Norte 

Vista High School in Riverside 

after serving five years 

as an intervention specialist, 

coordinator for groups 

the Western Association of 

Schools and Colleges and 

the Advancement Via Individual 

Determination, and 

English department chairwoman 

at Manual Arts High 

School in Los Angeles. 

She is also the co-author 

Come visit our showroom 

of “Beyond the Gates and 

Fences,” with Los Angeles 

Mayor Eric Garcetti and 

her students from Manual 

Arts High School, according 

to a SMMUSD news 

release. 

Weissman has prior 

teaching experience as an 

English teacher at Westminster 

High School and 

San Pedro High School. 

She holds a bachelor of arts 

in English, a master of arts 

in educational administration 

and a doctorate in educational 

leadership from 

California State University 

at Long Beach, according 

to the release. 

District plans to ramp up 

water conservation 

Members of the Financial 

Oversight Committee 

also presented their findings 

and recommendations 

concerning potential cost 

savings through sustainability, 

maintenance financing, 

and the impact of 

living wage and minimum 

wage on the school district. 

The sustainability subcommittee 

recommended 

immediate action to audit 

both water and energy use 

“We have a responsibility to the students here to 

show them what 21st-century life should look like, 

and to me that means you get as much off the grid 

[as you can] and you get as water sensitive as you 

can possibly be.” 

Craig Foster — School Board member on reducing water usage 

districtwide in hopes of 

providing savings recommendations 

by fall 2016. 

Subcommittee Chairwoman 

Shelly Slaugh Nahass 

said water audits will 

be done on Santa Monica 

campuses in the coming 

months; however, the funding 

for these audits does 

not apply to Malibu sites, 

requiring an additional 

$30,000 of funding from 

the School Board or grants 

from local Malibu water 

districts to complete. 

The report states that 

“review and analysis of the 

Malibu sites is critical for 

this program to be successful,” 

as the data reviewed 

by the subcommittee shows 

the largest water use issues 

and fines occur in Malibu. 

Foster said he is aware of 

discussions in Malibu regarding 

reduction of water 

consumption and would be 

happy to facilitate more. 

“I think Malibu’s going 

to be very willing to 

help us because they have 

this issue over decreasing 

water consumption and I 

think there’s been a lot of 

outreach,” Foster said. “We 

need to capture that outreach 

in a way that actually 

creates the stuff we’re looking 

for.” 

The subcommittee also 

recommended the district 

take advantage of a Continuous 

Energy Improvement 

Program that provides a 

cost-free energy audit save

for the time of district staff, 

co-sponsored by Southern 

California Edison and 

Southern California Gas 

Company. That program 

spans two years, with a 

recommended eight staff 

hours per month. 

Foster also voiced his 

support for the overall 

ideas of this subcommittee. 

“We have a responsibility 

to the students here to 

show them what 21st-century 

life should look like, 

and to me that means you 

get as much off the grid [as 

you can] and you get as water 

sensitive as you can possibly 

be so we want them to 

live that experience in our 

schools,” Foster said. “On 

that hand, we have sort of 

a moral fiduciary responsibility 

to our students, and 

then on the other hand we 

have the opportunity to potentially 

save money or create 

financial savings in our 

operating budget.” 

Committee gives update on 

potential separation 

The Malibu Unification 

Negotiations Committee 

also gave an update 

on their progress; though 

the committee is not yet 

in a position to report any 

recommendations, Santa 

Monica team member Tom 

Larmore said. 

The committee’s most recent 

meetings with education 

consulting firm School 

Services of California have 

built a “very sound information 

base to work with 

now,” Santa Monica team 

member Paul Silvern said; 

though Larmore later noted 

the process would likely 

require more time than the 

60-day extension granted 

on June 29. 

According to the committee’s 

findings thus far, 

in the case of a split into 

separate districts, Malibu 

would qualify as a “basic 

aid” district immediately, 

meaning that it would continue 

to receive both basic 

aid from the State of California 

and revenue from local 

property taxes. A separate 

Santa Monica school 

district would become 

basic aid “somewhat later 

in the decade,” Larmore 

said, while SMMUSD as it 

stands is likely to qualify in 

five years or more. 

Board member Craig 

Foster is confident in the 

committee’s progress. 

“I think we have six 

people who are engaged 

in finding solutions and 

they’re getting their research 

and the support to 

allow them to find those 

solutions,” Foster said. “I 

think the process is fantastic.” 

The committee had plans 

to meet with law firm Procopio, 

Cory, Hargreaves & 

Savitc LLP, on Tuesday, 

July 26, to discuss the allocation 

of bonds and bond 

authority. Operating budget 

issues will be discussed on 

Aug. 2, and they plan to 

consult their legal team regarding 

environmental issues 

on Aug. 9.

Perception v. reality of cemetery 

Alex vejar 


In the last couple weeks, 

there’s been a lot of 

chatter over a proposed 

cemetery in the Civic 

Center area of Malibu. 

Lots of news organizations 

are taking an interest in the 

story (this one included), 

and the buzz seems to have 

been re-created by a New 

York Post article from July 

14 with the flashy, clickworthy 

headline: “Malibu’s 

rich and famous are about 

to live next to a cemetery.” 

This issue, however, is 

not new. The developers 

began the application process 

with the Malibu Planning 

Department last year 

and have been making adjustments 

and updates to it 

ever since. The most recent 

set of plans were submitted 

in recent months. 

At first blush, the 

thought of having a large 

cemetery — the development 

hopes to be nearly 30 

acres — seems unnecessary 

and out of place in 

Malibu (especially if you 

read a headline like the 

NYP’s). Take a step back, 

however, and the project’s 

plans are intriguing, and a 

cemetery in a community 

is not in and of itself a bad 

idea. 

Malibu residents, current 

and past, love this town 

and they know it is not 

what outsiders perceive 

it to be. They’ve grown 

up here, rode their horses, 

eaten at longtime restaurants, 

cheered their kids 

on during school sporting 

events and performances, 

and so much more. So 

when they or loved ones 

pass away, it’s natural for 

friends and family to want 

that individual buried close 

to home. 

And even for those who 

have never lived in Malibu 

but enjoy visiting the city 

or its beaches, having a 

cemetery so close to the 

Pacific Ocean would be an 

attractive resting place for 

those who seek even more 

peace after their life. 

In addition, that space, 

with its lush greenery, 

seems ideal for a memorial 

park, perfect for walking 

around with its natural surroundings. 

With a place as beautiful 

as Malibu, doesn’t it make 

sense to be laid to rest in 

an area deemed “26 Miles 

of Scenic Beauty”? Isn’t 

the idea of having a loved 

one in a permanent space 

so close to the beach a lot 

more attractive than one 

that’s near a freeway? 

Malibu residents are appropriately 

sensitive about 

developments in their city. 

But sometimes, development 

is improvement. 

This might be one of 

those times.

Don’t Panic, It’s Organic 

Building an organic garden in Malibu 

Andy Lopez 

Contributing Columnist 

Invisible Gardener 

Planting an organic 

garden involves 

more than putting 

organic seeds in the ground 

and hoping. It includes selecting 

a location and preparing 

the seed bed. Will 

you sow seeds directly into 

the beds, or will you start 

them in a greenhouse or 

tray? And then if you do 

plant directly will you thin 

or will you try your hand at 

transplanting? 

Creating a plan 

Begin to plan your 

next garden by learning 

from your past gardens. 

Or, if you have never had 

a garden before, join an 

organic gardening club and 

learn from other organic 

gardeners. 

Selecting a location 

Choose an area with 

plenty of morning sunlight 

and some afternoon shade. 

Most vegetables, especially 

fruiting types, do best 

with eight hours of full sun 

exposure. Leafy and root 

vegetables will tolerate 

partial — but bright — 

shade. A loose, fertile, 

well-drained soil is best. If 

possible, avoid heavy clays 

or very sandy soils. Where 

space is limited, container 

gardening is the way to go. 

The ideal organic garden 

soil is a minimum of 18 

inches to 3 feet or more, 

fertile, well-drained and 

medium-textured.

Ukulele band’s members tell story of group’s beginnings 

Actor and resident 

Dick Van Dyke 

makes appearance 

at library concert 

Berkley Mason 


Last Thursday, July 21, 

was the first time in a year 

since the Malibu Ukulele 

Orchestra, founded in 2012, 

had its first performance at 

the Malibu Public Library. 

Despite this group forming 

ultimately from word 

of mouth, the small instrument 

has brought this small 

group of people together 

— people who would have 

likely never met otherwise, 

said Matteo Indelicato, cofounder 

of the group. 

Indelicato had initially 

met the founder, Carter 

Crary, because they were 

both divers — Crary and 

his wife own Malibu Divers. 

But Indelicato doesn’t 

credit diving for his now 

longtime friend, but rather 

credits the ukulele. 

“I was looking to do a 

scuba refresher course, and 

this kind of [demonstrates] 

Actor and Malibu resident Dick Van Dyke (center) joins 

the Malibu Ukulele Orchestra for a photo. 

how the ukulele brings 

people together,” Indelicato 

said. “I was a scuba diver, 

so, I walked into [Malibu 

Divers] and Carter’s got 

[a ukulele] hanging in the 

shop. I went, ‘You play 

the ukulele?’ And he said, 

‘A little bit’ — turned out 

we were both going to see 

Jake Shimabukuro at The 

Canyon Club — he was a 

famous ukulele player — 

and we both had tickets at 

the same time. So, that was 

our introduction.” 

The ukulele provided for 

an instant connection between 

the two scuba divers 

and resulted in Indelicato 

visiting Malibu Divers — 

otherwise known by the 

group members as “Carter’s 

shop” — much more 

frequently. 

“So, we started playing 

together — now, five years 

have gone by and I’m [currently] 

managing the shop 

and I’m the lead dive instructor,” 

Indelicato said. 

“It all really started because 

that ukulele was standing 

there [on that first day].” 

Indelicato and Crary 

never anticipated that

Thursday, July 21, at the Malibu Library. Photos by Berkley Mason/22nd Century Media 

they’d start an official ukulele 

group, but as the two of 

them started playing more 

together, people became 

more interested and the 

group simultaneously began 

to get larger. 

“We never planned on 

being a group,” Indelicato 

said. “He and I played 

together, somebody else 

saw, and then we’d only 

meet up once a month, 

and it just grew, kind of 

by word of mouth or even 

seeing the ukulele. Now, 

we’ve invited anyone who 

wants to come — it could 

be your very first time, or 

the very first instrument 

you’ve ever played. We’ve

Children dance along with 

Polynesian dancers at library 

Berkley Mason 


A group of children was 

dressed to impress Thursday, 

July 21, at the Malibu 

Library for a special hula 

lesson with the Polynesian 

Paradise Dancers. 

The Polynesian dancers 

performed a number of 

authentic and contemporary 

dances with hopes of 

educating the kids about 

Polynesian culture through 

an interactive and visual 

representation. 

The kids and their parents 

circled around the 

three Polynesian dancers, 

watching and mirroring 

them as they danced 

around in their unique, 

colorful dance costumes, 

making for quite the creative 

and memorable experience. 

The dance interpretations 

included those 

from Hawaii, Tahiti, New 

Zealand and Samoa. 

After an hour of dancing, 

the kids and their families 

went outside on the back 

patio and enjoyed some 

cold fruit, refreshments 

and frozen popsicles.

Children tackle serious themes for musical ‘Hairspray’ 

Barbara Burke 


Malibu’s Once Upon A 

Time Children’s Theater 

presented “Hairspray,” 

the Broadway musical, on 

Saturday and Sunday, July 

23-24, at the Malibu Playhouse. 

The production was 

co-directed by Julia Holland 

and Dee Dee Porter. 

“Hairspray,” based on 

the 1988 John Waters film, 

is set in Baltimore in the 

1960s, an era of tumult in 

America. On the fashion 

scene, new trends were 

emerging, and it was all 

about flamboyant costumes 

and magnificent hairstyles. 

The Civil Rights movement 

was in full throttle. America 

was awash in change. 

When a girl named Tracy 

Turnblad tries out for the 

Corny Collins show, she 

does not get accepted because 

of her race and her 

views on integration. The 

play’s racial themes and 

messages go on from there. 

“Hairspray” recounts 

Tracy’s efforts at furthering 

integration and fixing one 

small part of Baltimore’s 

racism, all the while suffering 

from common teenage 

angst and self-consciousness. 

The show discusses 

serious integration issues 

in both dance and song. 

Fantastic, memorable numbers 

include “The Nicest 

Kids in Town,” “The 

Legend of Miss Baltimore 

Crabs,” “I Can Hear the 

Bells,” “Ladies’ Choice,” 

“The New Girl in Town,” 

“Big, Blonde, and Beautiful,” 

“Without Love,” 

“Welcome to the Sixties,” 

“I Know Where I’ve Been” 

and “You Can’t Stop the 

Beat.” 

Derrick Leroy plays 

Edna, whom Leroy must 

play in drag. Leroy pulls it 

off with expertise. 

“I have to raise my 

voice,” said the 12-yearold 

Leroy. “I cannot have 

a scratchy voice, so I have 

to make sure that I get my 

voice up high.” 

The polite, well-spoken 

12-year-old added: “I have 

to go typical lady-like — to 

swing my hips and keep my 

shoulder up.” 

Leroy, an eighth-grader 

at McKinna Learning Center 

who is also an aspiring 

cook and photographer, 

previously played the Wiz. 

He said it is harder to play 

Edna because of the show’s 

underlying social issues. 

He, like all the other kids, 

sees the importance of the 

plot. 

“If everyone is changing 

the world and making it bet-

Malibu Ukulele Orchestra 

members Melody Bobo

Matt Poole, though they 

weren’t beginners when 

they joined the group —

“I’m from [Malibu], but 

I’ve lived in England for 

the past 20 years, and I just

and I was like ‘Hey, can 

we join?’ and that was it. 

We’ve been in the group 

ever since we landed here.” 

Seeing that the ukulele 

group has accumulated 

more members over the 

years, they’ve also incorporated 

a variety of different 

sounds along the 

way — the banjo, various 

vocalists and tribal instruments. 

Bobo is one of 

the main vocalists of the 

group, but that’s not all she 

offers. 

“Wagon Wheel is a lot of 

fun to play, but pretty much 

anything is,” Bobo said. “I 

get a kick out of hitting 

a tambourine, so, pretty 

much any song where I get 

to hit a tambourine.” 

Regarding the number of 

members involved in the 

group currently, it somewhat 

revolves around nine 

to 12 members, said group 

member TJ Jones, who’s 

been involved for about a 

year now. 

The Malibu Ukulele Orchestra 

currently meets every 

other week in the back 

of Crary’s dive shop, said 

Debbie Pierson, a Malibu 

native and member of the 

orchestra for about a year 

and a half. 

“There’s a little patio [at 

the dive shop], so in the 

summer [the group] can go 

outside and play,” Pierson 

said. “We have a lot of fun. 

I don’t think you could find 

a nicer group of people.” 

Many of the current 

members initially inquired 

about the group because 

they simply wanted someone 

with which to play the 

ukulele. But now, they’re 

good friends who play instruments 

together every 

other week, Indelicato 

said. 

“It’s fun. That’s all it is 

— fun,” Indelicato said. 

“That little instrument 

brings people together. It’s 

amazing.”

The Dish 

Gravina gets set for summer with light pasta 


If the hot weather isn’t 

enough of a clue that summer 

has arrived, the menu 

changes at various Malibu 

restaurants should provide 

some confirmation. 

Throughout the city diners 

are being treated to 

lighter dishes with a splash 

of freshness, perhaps so 

Malibuites can find at 

least some respite from the 

scorching temperatures. 

Almost like clockwork, 

another restaurant will be 

making a lighter addition 

to its menu in the coming 

weeks. Gravina Malibu 

will join the summer ranks 

with its new Rigatoni pasta 

($30). 

“Sometimes [traditional 

and flavorful dishes] gets 

way too much during summertime,” 

said Angelo 

Immacolato, manager of 

Gravina Malibu. “When 

you want to eat, you want 

to eat something that 

doesn’t make you too full 

or too heavy.” 

The pasta features homemade 

rigatoni with artichoke 

sauce, shrimp scampi 

and cherry tomatoes, 

topped with some more 

scampi. Although the pasta 

contains few ingredients, 

the blend of flavors creates 

an experience Malibu diners 

won’t soon forget. The 

dish will appear as one of 

Gravina Malibu’s specials, 

Immacolato said. 

The pasta is so new 

that it does not yet have 

an official name, he said; 

however, he made a point 

mention that most pastas 

in Italy don’t have a standardized 

name. 

Immacolato said Malibu 

diners will like the pasta 

Gravina Malibu

Coast Highway 

Phone: (310) 457-0711 

Website: www. 

gravinamalibu.com 

mainly because of how it 

looks, saying that presentation 

is “50 percent of the 

dish.” 

“Just the way it looks, it 

makes it so palatable [and 

appetizing],” Immacolato 

said. “It’s very, very nice.” 

Immacolato also mentioned 

the ingredients as 

being the other 50 percent 

of the reason Malibuites 

will want to give the dish 

a try. 

But the most unique aspect 

of the rigatoni pasta, 

Immacolato said, is the 

fact that it nixes cream. 

“One of the easiest ways 

— like a small cheat — 

to make something more 

palatable is using heavy 

cream because, of course, 

your body needs fats, so 

when it sees the fats, it’s 

going to immediately like 

what you eat,” Immacolato 

said. “This one, instead, 

doesn’t have any of that. 

Just olive oil, a touch of 

butter — it’s very light. So 

if you like it, it’s because 

it’s very good.” 

Immacolato said the pasta 

is also available without 

gluten. 

Another dish not to miss: 

•Ahi Tuna Tar Tar ($20): 

This dish also includes avocado, 

crostini and a leafy 

garnish that is also edible. 

It also includes lemon for 

diners that want a hint of 

citrus.

Ride of the Week 

Breaking down car attraction, enthusiasm 

Fireball Tim Lawrence 

Contributing Columnist 

Malibu resident 

Enthusiasts clamor 

the world looking at 

cool cars. Whether 

it’s physically or online. 

They’re fascinated with 

design, power, location 

and history. But what’s the 

attraction of the cars? Why 

do millions congregate at 

shows to see them, restored 

or in disarray? 

Well, at it’s core, it really 

isn’t about the cars at 

all. It’s about the people. 

Actually, it’s isn’t about 

the people either, but 

the stories they tell. The 

experiences. But we can 

take this further still as the 

stories and people come 

from the life we lead and 

the thoughts we think. 

Whether it’s cars, 

cooking, travel, animals 

or whatever passion you 

have, the thoughts of love 

towards those things actually 

expand our lives. A 

powerful singular movement 

toward the expansion 

of an advancing life. And 

since our perspectives are 

all different, yet congregate 

around a similar passion, 

swapping stories and 

sharing experiences are 

relatable, inspiring and can 

be mind-blowing. 

The reason I do what I 

do is that I grew up loving 

cars. Not really sure why 

Fireball Tim Lawrence stands beside a yellow Corvette. Fireball Tim Lawrence/22nd Century Media 

as no one in my family felt 

the same, although they 

did cultivate feelings of 

love towards other things. 

Architecture, Writing, Performance 

and many other 

movie related focuses. But 

my passion was Cars and 

Movies. Specifically how 

cars were used as a tool in 

film. I loved seeing cars 

in TV Shows jumping, 

spinning, crashing and doing 

things that I otherwise 

would never see in the 

streets. Controlled action. I 

found the men and women 

who did these things fascinating. 

But the design of these 

cars as characters also intrigued 

me. If Batman, The 

Rock, Tom Hanks or Harrison 

Ford had a car, what 

would that be like? And 

why? To this day, I still ask 

these questions, which is 

why I love to bring celebrities 

to my car shows. But 

let’s backtrack to the thinking 

for a moment. 

At the core of good 

thoughts is love. And love, 

as you know my fine Malibuites, 

is a very powerful 

force. A secret that lies 

within us to make our lives 

exactly what we want it to 

be. And those that realize 

it, strive every day to fine 

tune their lives to reflect 

the best of what it can be. 

Those still on the journey 

will discover that love 

is really the only true force 

and all the ills of the world 

simply come because of 

the lack of it. The truth, 

the secret to an expanding 

life and making all things 

better, is to give love to it. 

When you realize this, then 

your life becomes about 

giving and not getting. 

I don’t care what you’re 

into. Cars, planes, football, 

movies or singing. My 

parents knew early on that 

if I expressed love toward 

something, they needed to 

feed that. Love cars? Get 

Fireball more. Love travel? 

Let’s go somewhere. Love 

movies? Let’s pile in the 

station wagon and hit a 

flick. All a product of 

choices. 

So why do people love 

cars? Because we simply 

want more love in 

our lives. And since you 

can’t get too much of it, 

it’s completely free, and 

the more you exhibit the 

more comes back to you, 

then it’s a pretty good deal 

nowadays. 

Car people love cars. 

Surfers love to surf. Ocean 

people love to be by the 

ocean. And we Malibuites 

should love each other. 

Imagine what our town 

would become if we all did 

that? So join me, come to 

one of my shows and tell 

me what you love. I guarantee 

smiles all around, 

and you’ll soak up the gift 

that lies in giving.

Hairspray 

From Page 23 

ter, we will teach our kids 

that racism is bad, and when 

they are adults, hopefully it 

will be gone,” Leroy said. 

When Porter and Holland 

slated “Hairspray” for 

a three-week summer camp, 

all the recent tumult and 

violence in America concerning 

race relations had 

not erupted. Members of the 

troupe were keenly aware of 

the timing of those events. 

Siblings Travis and Andrew 

Springer share the role of 

Seaweed. 

Andrew, 13, characterizes 

Seaweed as a really 

nice dude who doesn’t care 

about a person’s skin color. 

Playing the role, he said, 

“takes you way back to the 

spot” in American history 

where civil rights issues 

were at the fore. 

“Racism still happens today,” 

Andrew said. “There 

is police brutality and Black 

Lives Matter. We need to 

try to stop it all around the 

world.” 

Eleven-year-old Sophia 

Springer, who plays Seaweed’s 

sister, Inez, said 

Porter told the cast that a 

baby learns by watching 

what the parents do and that 

racism is taught. 

Putting together “Hairspray” 

in a three-week 

summer camp was no small 

feat. Holland and Porter, 

however, took the time to 

discuss the show’s themes. 

“What I love about Dee 

Dee and Julia is how hard 

they work with the children,” 

parent Shelley Myers said. 

As Roger Ebert said in 

reviewing “Hairspray” 

years ago, “You know the 

story, you’ve seen the movie, 

and heard all about the 

musical, and you think you 

know what to expect.” 

However, each rendition 

of the play differs with the 

times in which the production 

is performed. As the 

cast of characters notes, 

the underlying themes in 

“Hairspray” are happening 

right now. It is very real for 

the Malibu kids doing this 

production.

Girls Basketball 

Young team grows together over summer league play 


The Malibu High School 

girls basketball team have hit 

the reset button on last season, 

when the Sharks started 

five seniors and had one its 

most successful seasons in 

the program’s history. 

Now with those girls 

graduated, this year’s team 

will feature a host of fresh 

faces, many of them new 

to MHS. But the new-look 

Sharks are taking this summer 

break to bond on the 

court and build the chemistry 

needed to navigate 

their first season together. 

The team recently ended 

a five-game frosh-soph 

summer league and finished 

3-2, Sharks head 

coach Andy Meyer said. 

Playing with girls of similar 

ages should help the 

team “get a taste of high 

school basketball” without 

having them play against 

teams with much more experience, 

he said. 

“It’s a learning process 

and this was the first step in 

that process,” Meyer said. 

The young Sharks players 

have shown Meyer that 

they understand basketball 

concepts and terminology, 

even at such a young 

age, Meyer said. He added 

that the team works well 

together and also runs the 

fastbreak well. 

The team practiced only 

five times over the course 

of the summer, Meyer said, 

so much of the regular season 

could consist of the 

players and coach learning 

each other. 

“This is going to be a 

team where over half of 

them are going to be brand 

new,” Meyer said. “So 

they’ve got to learn the 

terms I use, the offense I

use, the defense [and] outof-bounds 

plays. I lot of 

stuff I have shown them 

brand new. It’s like starting 

from scratch.” 

Charlotte Dyne, an incoming 

freshman for the 

Sharks, said getting some 

playing time with her new 

teammates — even if it’s 

been limited up to this point 

— can help the team moving 

forward. 

“We have had an advantage 

by having some games 

together,” Dyne said, “so 

we all got to know each 

other and see how we play 

together.” 

Meyer finds himself in 

the same position now as 

he did for years ago, when 

the stellar team of last year 

were all freshman players. 

The team won only one 

game that entire season. 

But while Meyer admitted 

that he never likes to 

lose, he is not all that worried 

about the win-loss record 

this season. 

“I have no idea how many 

[games] we’re going to win 

or lose,” Meyer said. “I just 

know that if there are struggles, 

a lot of it will be due 

to inexperience. And as long 

as the girls don’t get discouraged 

[and] I don’t get 

discouraged, we’ll be OK.”

Linden dreams to be a pro motocross rider 


On a summer day about 

11 years ago, a young 

Kevyn Linden, wearing an 

outfit consisting of a pink 

T-shirt, jean skirt and Ugg 

boots, prepared for the ride 

of her life. 

In the pits of the motorsports 

track in Lake Elsinore, 

Linden climbed on 

a borrowed, blue dirt bike, 

revved the engine and took 

off. 

“It was a very natural 

feeling,” Linden said. “It 

wasn’t uncomfortable or 

scary for me.” 

As they say, the rest is 

history. Within a year, Linden 

was racing dirt bikes on 

real tracks. 

Now a 16-year-old rising 

junior at Malibu High 

School, Linden spends her 

days preparing for her next 

race and is well on her way 

to her dream of becoming 

a professional motocross 

racer. 

Linden practices on 

tracks at least once a week, 

working on her technique 

and focus in an effort to 

get faster. But in between, 

she trains daily with a rowing 

machine, traveling the 

equivalent of 3,000 meters, 

to improve her endurance. 

She also spins on her stationery 

bicycle. 

On top of that, Linden 

follows a strict diet where 

she eats mostly chicken, 

fish and vegetables. All 

of that work prepares her 

for when she races against 

packs of boys and girls 

looking to best her on the 

track. 

“Do all your training 

during the week, and riding 

and racing is the privilege,” 

Linden said, reciting one of 

her father’s mantras. 

“I just want to 

be the best. Not 

just the best 

girl, but the 

best.” 

Kevyn Linden

Linden said she hardly 

has any time to do anything 

else besides train for races 

and work her job at Marmalade 

Cafe; however, she 

loves the sport so much that 

she even looks forward to 

training, she said. 

But looking at her, one 

wouldn’t think Linden 

spends her weekends zipping 

through dirt tracks and 

performing jumps against 

other riders. She offers a 

bubbly personality, her favorite 

color is pink and her 

racing helmet features a 

floral design. 

“Since it is such a guy 

sport, I try to bring a little 

girly into it,” Linden said. 

Despite Linden’s choice 

of clothing and accent colors, 

she only compares her 

racing worth to other boys 

on the track. When she 

competes, she’s looking to 

come in first before any of 

the male competitors, even 

though she’s only officially 

racing against the female 

class of riders. 

“I just want to be the 

best,” Linden said. “Not 

just the best girl, but the 

best.” 

Brett, Linden’s father, 

said he’s told his daughter 

over the last couple of years 

that her racing goals should 

not involve the women racers. 

“It’s obviously better for 

her to ride with the guys 

because they are faster and 

they’re doing things that a 

lot of the pro women can’t 

do at all,” Brett said. “So if 

she starts to emulate those 

guys, she’s just going to be 

a better rider.” 

Linden said her proudest 

moment was only a few 

weeks ago while competing 

in the first of a fiverace 

Transworld Motocross 

series. Right at the start of 

the race, her bike shot her 

to the far right, placing her 

far behind the other racers. 

The bad start made Linden 

angry, she said, and 

she started on her quest to 

catch up to the other riders. 

On the second to last turn in 

the final lap, she overtook 

the first-place girl — who 

is also her rival — and won 

the race. 

“When you’re either 

crazy mad, hyper or happy, 

you just tend to ride 

better,” Linden said. “So 

much adrenaline was going 

through me.” 

Fortunately, Linden has 

never broken a bone while 

riding, she said, but she has 

been involved in some ugly 

crashes. During a practice 

session in May, Linden hit 

a rock right before a big 

jump, causing her feet to 

come off the pegs of her 

bike. When she landed, the 

impact flung her forward 

and she fell helmet-first on 

the dirt, which she later discovered 

caused a concussion. 

Her motorcycle also 

briefly landed on top of her. 

It took her two weeks 

to shake the effects of the 

crash and ride normally, 

she said. 

Linden’s overall goal 

with motocross is to become 

a professional, travel 

and learn more about sport, 

she said. 

Even after she retires 

from racing, she wishes to 

be involved in any way she 

can. 

“It’s such a bonding 

thing,” Linden said of the 

sport. “When you ride, you 

always have something to 

talk about with someone 

else that rides, even if you’re 

completely different riders. 

It’s a very family sport.” 

Brett thinks the sky’s 

the limit for his daughter, 

whether she rides or not, he 

said. But his main focus is 

for her not to put herself in 

harm’s way. 

“My main priority with 

her riding a racing career is 

just for her to be safe and 

never push it and know 

what she’s doing and never 

ride over her head,” Brett 

said. 

On the track, Linden 

wears No. 97 — 7 is her 

favorite number and she 

was born on April 9. And 

no matter what happens, 

it seems she’ll be wearing 

that number for some time. 

“It’s not just the riding 

that I love,” Linden said. “I 

love everything in the sport 

— even the danger.”

slate includes Belmont, Weber State 


University 

The Pepperdine University 

men’s basketball team 

will play another challenging 

non-conference schedule 

in 2016-17, with at least 

six games against schools 

that advanced to postseason 

play and that won 19 

or more games last year, as 

head coach Marty Wilson 

announced the first portion 

of the Waves’ schedule on 

July 14. 

The Waves will have five 

home games inside of Firestone 

Fieldhouse, including 

the first three contests of 

the season: Nov. 11 vs. Cal 

Poly, Nov. 15 vs. Weber 

State and Nov. 17 vs. Life

also host Portland State on 

Nov. 27 and Belmont Dec. 

3. Weber State played in

Pepperdine will be tested 

in all of its road games, 

which includes Long Beach 

State on Dec. 7, USC on 

Dec. 11, Louisiana on Dec. 

20 and Montana on Dec. 22. 

All four teams played in the 

postseason, including USC 

in the NCAA Tournament. 

The Waves could add to 

their list of 2016 postseason 

opponents at the Lone Star 

Showcase. The multi-team 

tournament, which will be 

held near Austin, Texas, 

from Nov. 21-23, has yet to 

announce its field. 

“I believe our schedule 

will allow us to compete 

against some very successful 

basketball programs and 

versus some very respected 

coaches,” Wilson said. 

“Our players and staff will 

be challenged to compete 

at a high level every night.” 

The Waves will return 

three starters and four key 

players from last year’s 

squad, which went 18-14 

overall, finished fourth in the 

West Coast Conference at 

10-8 and earned a spot in the 

College Basketball Invitational. 

Senior guard-forward 

Lamond Murray Jr. (Los Angeles, 

Calif./Bishop Montgomery 

HS) made the All- 

WCC second team and led 

the squad at 16.6 points per 

game, senior point guards 

Jeremy Major (Pasadena, 

Calif./Maranatha HS) and 

Amadi Udenyi (Oakland, 

Calif./De La Salle HS/St.

and sophomore forward 

Kameron Edwards (Rancho 

Cucamonga, Calif./Etiwanda 

HS) is coming off a WCC 

All-Freshman season. 


Staffer honored with national admin award 


University 

Pepperdine University 

associate director of athletics 

Karina Herold has been 

honored by the National 

Association of Collegiate 

Women Athletics Administrators 

as one of its eight 

2016 Administrators of the 

Year Award recipients, the 

organization announced 

July 15. 

Herold, who oversees external 

operations and is the 

department’s senior women’s 

administrator, just concluded 

her fifth year at Pepperdine. 

She also served as 

the tournament manager at 

the 2013 and 2015 NCAA 

Men’s Basketball West 

Regional Championships, 

which Pepperdine hosted at 

Staples Center. 

Herold received NAC- 

WAA’s award for NCAA 

Division I (non-FBS and 

non-FCS divisions). She 

and the other seven honorees 

will be recognized at a 

luncheon in Kansas City on 

Oct. 11. 

“Karina is the most talented 

young woman I have 

ever encountered in my 16 

years in athletic administration,” 

Pepperdine Director 

of Athletics Steve Potts 

said. “She handles all of our 

external affairs, supervises 

numerous sports, serves as 

our SWA, has successfully 

managed two NCAA Men’s 

Basketball West Regionals 

and serves as a mentor to 

all of our younger female 

staff members. ...We are 

most fortunate to have Karina 

with us at Pepperdine.” 


Ariana Martinez added to 

women’s soccer coach staff 


University 

Pepperdine women’s 

soccer head coach Tim 

Ward announced the hiring 

of assistant coach Ariana 

Martinez on July 14 to fill 

out the Waves’ coaching 

staff. 

Martinez comes to Pepperdine 

after a distinguished 

playing career on 

both the collegiate and national 

levels, and brings a 

wealth of coaching experience 

from the youth and 

prep ranks. She replaces 

Mary Grace Schmidt, who 

left to pursue other interests 

outside of coaching. Max 

Rooke was also elevated 

to associate head coach for 

the Waves recently. 

“We are very pleased 

to announce the hiring of 

Ariana,” said Ward. “I’ve 

known and watched Ari 

play for over 10 years now 

and I’ve always been impressed 

not only by her 

ability as a soccer player, 

but equally with her character 

as a woman. She 

has a wonderful ability 

to fiercely compete at the 

highest level on the field, 

while still maintaining the 

respect of all who play with 

and against her. She has a 

strong desire to teach and 

with her unique set of playing 

experiences, we feel 

she is well-qualified to help 

our girls here at Pepperdine 

reach new levels.” 

Martinez played four 

years of Pac-12 soccer, 

starting her collegiate career 

at UCLA in 2010 before 

transferring to California 

in 2012 and finishing 

her career there. She was 

also called up to the Mexican 

National Team as a 

college sophomore in 2011 

and played in the 2012 Under-20 

World Cup in Japan 

with Mexico as well. 

“I am incredibly honored 

and excited about the opportunity 

to join the Pepperdine 

women’s soccer 

staff and look forward to 

working for such an accomplished 

head coach as 

Tim Ward and coach Max 

Rooke,” said Martinez. “I 

am just as excited to work 

with the high caliber student 

athletes that Pepperdine 

University attracts and 

hope to contribute in their 

development on and off the 

field.” 

As a dual citizen of the 

United States and Mexico, 

Martinez gained experience 

in both countries’ national 

team development systems, 

and eventually made four 

caps for the Mexican National 

Team. She played 

in three games at the 2012 

China Football Association 

International Tournament 

with Mexico and played 

a full 90 minutes against 

the French National Team 

in 2011. Martinez played 

in five games at the U-20 

World Cup in 2012. 

As both a defender and 

midfielder during her time 

in college, Martinez played 

her first two seasons at 

UCLA before eventually 

transferring to Cal. She 

served on a defensive unit 

that surrendered one goal 

or less in 19 of 23 matches 

in 2010 and recorded two 

assists from the back line 

on both UCLA goals in 

a 2-1 victory over No. 3 

Notre Dame, the eventual 

National Champions. Martinez 

also earned Player 

of the Match honors in an 

NCCA Tournament game 

against Stanford. 

With the Golden Bears, 

Martinez saw time as both 

a defender and midfielder, 

playing in 38 total contests. 

Competing primarily 

in the midfield as a junior, 

Martinez scored two goals, 

one of which was the 

game-winner against Pepperdine 

in the 2013 NCAA 

Tournament. She earned 

Pac-12 All-Academic recognition 

as a senior. 

Martinez graduated 

from Cal in 2014 with a 

degree in early childhood 

education and sociology/ 

psychology of education. 

She worked as both a trainer 

and coach following her 

graduation, most recently 

serving as the assistant 

coach of the girls’ varsity 

team at Viewpoint School 

in Calabasas this past season. 

She also worked as a 

soccer coach and trainer 

at the Sports Academy of 

Thousand Oaks, coaching 

both futsal and beach to 

ages 2-15. 

Martinez has coached 

for the Eagles Soccer Club 

and other local youth clubs 

in the Moorpark area, and 

was both a coach and nutrition 

and wellness educator 

for the Ole Soccer 

Club. 

Martinez also volunteers 

with Habitat for Humanity 

and was a youth tutor, 

mentor and an AYSO 

coach during her time in 

college.
