Maritime concerns center of Malibu gathering
Agencies share
findings from MPA
baseline monitoring
Suzanne Guldimann
Freelance Reporter
Representatives from the
California Department of
Fish and Wildlife, Ocean
Protection Council, and
Ocean Science Trust traded
their Powerpoint presentations
for wind-swept ocean
views at a presentation on
key findings from the South
Coast’s Marine Protected
Areas that took place at
the Wishtoyo Foundation’s
Chumash Village in Malibu.
The Wednesday, March
22 event was one of a series
of public forums designed
to offer an overview of key
findings from MPA baseline
monitoring in the region’s
15 new underwater parks.
The South Coast Region
extends from Point Conception
to the Mexican border.
The network of underwater
parks in the region
was established in 2012 as
a requirement of the 1999
Marine Life Protection Act,
and includes two Malibu
MPAs: Point Dume State
Marine Reserve and Point
Dume State Marine Conservation
Area.
The findings presented
at the event were published
earlier this month in a 64-
page report entitled “State
of the California South
Coast.” The research that
went into the report will
form the basis for the next
phase of monitoring and
is being provided to state
agencies and the region’s
nonprofit partners, but the
report’s creators hope it
will also reach a wider audience
among other stakeholders,
including coast
residents, beach-goers, and
the fishing, surfing and diving
communities.
Event participants were
not surprised to learn that
the Malibu MPAs, which
cover the area from the
western side of Paradise
Cove to Lechuza Beach and
include Point Dume State
Beach and Zuma County
Beach, are the most heavily
visited MPAs in the region.
California Department
of Fish and Wildlife scientist
Amanda Van Diggelen,
who is one of the editors
of the report, described the
area as “ground zero.”
While Point Dume is the
prime MPA destination for
beach-goers, and the location
of some of the costliest
real estate in the country,
it’s also a key cultural site
for the Chumash people
who were the South Coast
Region’s first residents.
The Native American
community that hosted the
Malibu event expressed
concern that there has not
been an adequate effort to
involve people with coastal
heritage in the MPA project.
The meeting began with
a prayer by Chumash Elder
Johnny Moreno, whose
message was one of interconnectedness.
“We are all connected,”
Moreno said. “Native people
don’t have a lock on
feeling connected, but colonizers
need to decolonize
their minds.”
Alicia Cordero, the
Wishtoyo Foundation’s
First Nations Program Officer,
also made an impassioned
argument for inclusion
in the MPA monitoring
process.
“What we really want
is a seat at the table,” said
Cordero, who expressed
her frustration at what she
described as institutional
bias against native people.
“Our PhDs are not worth
as much as other people’s,”
said Cordero, who holds
a degree in biology and
has worked in academia.
“When I come as a native
representative I am treated
very differently [than as a
scientist].”
“We often have people
explain to us ‘what you
don’t understand,’” Cordero
said. “I’m not a kindergartner.
It’s code switching.
It’s a colonial perspective.
When you turn a deaf ear,
it’s really hurtful.”
Cordero asked the agencies
to keep an open mind.
“We are an active group
of people with strong connection
to maritime culture,”
she said. “We really
do have important information
to bring to the table. All
native voices have value.”
Cordero shared some
of the education projects
and goals of the Wishtoyo
Foundation, which teaches
Chumash culture and marine
conservation.
“We want our young people
to take their traditions
with them wherever they
go, an indigenous world
view,” she said. “This is an
8,000-year-old village site,
and it’s a living village.
“We would love to see
this up and down the coast.
There aren’t any reservations
directly on the coast.
The majority of people
with coastal heritage don’t
have a reservation at all.
We always have to ask to
access resources we feel
are our birthright.”
Chumash representative
Freddie Romero summed
up the group’s grievance in
one sentence: “We are always
left out,” he said.
According to the authors
of the new South
Coast Region report, one
of the major goals of the
MPA process as it enters
the long-term monitoring
phase is to broaden participation
with programs
like Wishtoyo Foundation’s
Chumash Tribal MPA Program,
which annually provides
cultural and marine
science education to approximately
6,000 K–12
students, and citizen science
opportunities.

program officer, speaks during a March 22 community
gathering at Wishtoyo Foundation’s Chumash Village in

Always in their corner
Malibu nonprofit
clears obstacles
for individuals with
special needs
Barbara Burke
Freelance Reporter
“The disability is not the
problem. The accessibility
is the problem,” said Mohamed
Jemni, developer of
WebSign, a set of applications
that “break the silence
of deaf.”
This is true, no matter
what disability a young person
faces. Fortunately, in
Malibu, there are plentiful
resources available, many
of which were on display
Tuesday, March 21, during
“An Evening of Possibilities
– Transition and College
Programs for Students
with 504 and IEP,” held at
the Malibu Library.
The event was sponsored
by the Malibu Special
Education Foundation, a
nonprofit organization supporting
students, families,
administrators, staff and
teachers working in special
education in Malibu. For
more on the organization,
email msefbu@gmail.com
or visit www.malibuspeci
aleducationfoundation.org/.
Section 504 of the Rehabilitation
Act is intended to
ensure that students with
disabilities are provided an
appropriate education and
are not subject to discrimination.
“IEP” is a term that
refers to an individual education
plan that a team of
parents, teachers, staff and
medical, therapeutic, and
other professionals develop
as a tailor-made action plan
aimed at assisting students
with a disability to achieve
their goals.
As a student with disabilities
approaches graduation
from high school,
they are thrust into a world
where they have more responsibility
to let educators
know they need accommodation
for their disability.
However, many students
do not have the skill set to
self-advocate. Adjustments
to college life or work or
vocational settings can be
daunting.
Last week’s informational
event educated students
and their parents about how
transition services can aid
students.
Kristen Wright, special
education division director
at the California Department
of Education,
welcomed attendees and
emphasized that students
should be given transition
plans early on to address
how they will segue beyond
high school.
“Every child should be
mapping out a future to a
living wage job. Unless he
has the ability to communicate
with other people,
doing so will be harder. We
want students to be armed
with all the options that
they can so that they can be
a part of their community,”
said Sonni Bendetson, director
of Adult and Transition
Programs for FACT
(Family, Adult & Child
Therapies), an organization
that contracts with the State
of California to provide
services for adults with
disabilities, including a
Generating All Possibilities
program, supported living
services and services helping
them obtain volunteer,
internship and employment
opportunities.
These support services
for disabled citizens provide
a helping hand to enable
individuals to realize

their potential and contribute
to society.
The best predictor of
achieving those goals is to
be employed during high
school, Bendetson said.
Vintage Grocers employs
Amelia Buran, a 16-yearold
Malibu High student
with high-functioning autism.
“Amelia is an asset to
Vintage Grocers because of
her spirit and love for people,”
said Mary Carbonniere,
advertising and marketing
manager of Vintage
Grocers. “When it comes to
taking care of people, she
excels.”
When Malibu Surfside
News paid a call at Vintage
Grocers this week, Buran
was all smiles, exuding
confidence and enjoying
her job.
“It’s nice here at Vintage
Grocers,” she said. “Everybody
is very nice. I bag the
groceries and I fix the food.
I like working with the
people.”
Amelia, who is set to
graduate in 2019, plans to
pursue a college education.
Such experiences for
disabled students all start
with parents and families
accessing the information
necessary to explore such
opportunities.
Support services offered
by the Malibu Special Education
Foundation and programs
at FACT have made
all the difference for Daniel
Sills, an autistic student
who graduated from Malibu
High School.
“I got accepted to all my
colleges, but picked CSUN
because I could get the
support I needed as a new
student,” Sills said. “I am a
junior now with a 3.4 in TV
production and a brother
at Sig Ep. I don’t need as
much support.”
Sills’ success story is
what it is all about: giving
disabled students a little
help, empowering them,
and watching them soar
with confidence and success.

Malibu’s aquatic environment gets new life
Red-legged frogs,
steelhead trout
among local
species cropping up
Suzanne Guldimann
Freelance Reporter
For the first time since
Southern California was
plunged into a severe
drought, Malibu’s main
creeks and streams are running
to the sea, bringing a
critical respite to several
key aquatic species.
The heavy rains have
created the potential for
the critically endangered
Southern California steelhead
trout to access spawning
grounds in the Santa
Monica Mountains.
The Southern steelhead
lives most of its life in the
ocean, but must spawn in
fresh water. Unlike other
trout, steelhead are adaptable
and do not need to return
to the creek where they
were spawn, but they do require
a clear path from the
ocean and clean, deep pools
upstream.
This fish, once abundant,
is nearly extinct. Only
five have seen this year in
Southern California, and
two of those fish showed
up in Malibu.
“We’ve seen two fish,”
Santa Monica Mountains
Resource Conservation
District Senior Conservation
Biologist Rosi Dagit
told the Malibu Surfside
News. “The first was the
one in Arroyo Sequit.”
The National Park Service
recently completed a
fish barrier removal project
in Arroyo Sequit.
“Talk about immediate
response,” Dagit said.
“That fish showed up right
after the project was complete.
We have our fingers
crossed that she made it to
good spawning habitat.”
The second Southern
steelhead trout made its
way into Malibu Creek, but
did not survive the journey
upstream to spawn.
“It was an adult female,”
Dagit said. “But
she was so beaten up from
her journey up creek that
she didn’t make it. She
was found lying at the
bottom of a pool, and she
died in my hands.”
Dagit explained that she
had a federal permit to recover
the fish and stressed
that the penalty for deliberately
catching or harming
a Southern steelhead is a
$25,000 fine.
“There are so few fish,”
she said.
Several threatened amphibians
are faring better
than the endangered fish.
The spectacular storm flows
appear to have reduced the
number of invasive crawfish
in local creeks, increasing
the survival odds for
native species.

Malibu Planning Commission
Permit extensions, expirations may
soon see changes after 4-1 vote
Lauren Coughlin, Editor
Planning Commission
Chairman John Mazza
said he has personally seen
roughly 300-400 permit
extension requests reach
the City of Malibu, but
he’s never seen a single
one get turned down.
After action taken by
the commission Monday,
March 20, that standard
just may change.
With an otherwise light
agenda, the commission
primarily focused on a
staff proposal that sought
to alter the rules surrounding
Coastal Development
Permit extensions and
expirations. The new recommendations
moved forward
on a 4-1 vote, with
Commissioner Jeffrey Jennings
voting against the
proposal.
City staff recommended
“limiting each extension
no more than one year unless
otherwise stated in
the extension approval,
to account for extraordinary
circumstances such
as litigation and extended
processing time for additional
agency approvals.”
Further, the number of extensions
would be limited
to two.
The proposal also recommended
removing due
cause from the equation,
with that distinction to be
replaced by the following:
“that the development
remains in conformance
with the certified LCP; that
the applicant demonstrated
due diligence to implement
and complete the proposed
development, as substantiated
by evidence in the
record, appropriate and
needed to prove the issue
of fact; and; that there are
no changed circumstances
that may affect consistency
of the development with
the certified Local Coastal
Program, the General Plan
and applicable City ordinances,
resolutions and
other laws.”
“It is important to build
assurances as to what will
be built, when and how
long it will take,” Hawner
said.
Under current code, unless
otherwise noted, a
CDP expires two years
from its date of approval
if development has not
commenced. Due cause
is to be considered when
extensions are granted —
something several commissioners
have struggled
to determine.
Jennings felt that the
proposal was an unnecessary
sacrifice that could instead
be solved by simply
granting fewer extensions.
“The proposal effectively
puts a straightjacket
on what we can and cannot
do as a City. We now
have complete discretion,”
Jennings said. “... Once we
give that discretion up of
course you’re never getting
it back.”
Commissioner Mikke
Pierson said he was conflicted
on the item, but he
noted that he has seen very
poor due cause explanations
in the past. Further,
Pierson said it bothered
him that some applicants
do not seek out permits
with the intent to build.
Mazza said he felt the
proposed changes were
“a huge step forward in
cleaning up the process in
Malibu.”
Senior Planner Stephanie
Hawner presented data
that indicated there are
currently 211 active CDPs
that have not yet required
extensions. Of those, 90
have commenced construction
and 121 do not
yet have building permits.
Hawner also noted that
there are 79 active CDPs
with extensions; 46 of
those do not have building
permits and 33 have commenced
construction.
“We want people to
come and pull a permit
with the intention to
build,” Hawner said. “We
want people to build and
we want them to build
quickly and to better serve
the community.”
Jennings also expressed
concern over verbiage in
the proposal. The staff voted
to include a requirement
that the City Attorney will
review the proposed language
to address any necessary
technical corrections.
The proposed changes,
which were also backed
by the Zoning Ordinance
Revisions and Code Enforcement
Subcommittee
last month, will now move
forward for the City Council’s
consideration.
If the City Council approves
the amendment, it
is expected to be submitted
to the California Coastal
Commission for certification.

Malibu Garden Club to host
landscape designer April 5
Submitted by the Malibu
Garden Club
When the Malibu Garden
Club meets at 7 p.m.
April 5, landscape designer
Randy Wild will present
“Cycads: the Perfect Plant
for Malibu” at the Point
Dume Clubhouse, located
at 29500 Heathercliff Dr.,
in Malibu.
Wild’s passion for cycads
started when he began collecting
these plants in his
20s. He has had this passion
for the last 40 years.
Wild specializes in architectural
landscape design
and he also does installations.
He has been in business
since 1989. He works
primarily in the Brentwood,
Santa Monica and
Malibu areas.
When asked what captivated
his attention about
these plants, he mentioned
that cycads go back to the
time of the dinosaurs. They
are the oldest fossilized
plant that we have on record.
They are considered
the first conifer and the first
plant that has male and female
genders in separate
plants. They are also the
first plant to reproduce by
pollen.
Although the 350 accepted
species of cycads
come from all over the
world , they are primarily
found in the equatorial
belt and the tropical
regions of Australia, South
Africa and Mexico. And
they make the perfect xeriscape
plant, something
important to garden aficionados
in southern California.
Although they need
to be watered to become
established, once they are
established they need very
little water. While beautiful,
cycads tend to be very
heavy to transport. Larger
specimens even require
cranes for installation.

Emerald Exchange puts spotlight on a budding cannabis sector
‘Cannabis farmers
market’ among
attractions at
Malibu event
Barbara Burke
Freelance Reporter
Dubbed as an event featuring
vendors and representatives
“from Mendo
to Malibu,” the March 18
Emerald Exchange event,
held at a private ranch in
Malibu overlooking the
Santa Monica Mountains,
was a very unique experience.
The event showcased
the opportunities and challenges
in the cannabis sector
as laws, ordinances and
social perceptions change
in the ever-evolving conversation
in California and
beyond.
“This medical marijuana
event is designed out of a
great need to put people in
the cannabis industry all
together in one place,” said
Brittany Confer, public relations
director of the third
annual Emerald Exchange,
a cannabis business sector
and informational experience.
The farmers market featured
vendors or all sorts,
displaying various food
options, both with cannabidiol-
and THC-infused
products.
“The traditional cannabis
farmers in Northern
California who are sungrown
cultivators need to
interact with the Southern
California sector of the
economy,” Confer said.
“This event allows farmers,
product distributors,
consumers and investors
to all get together in one
space.”
Infused product offerings
were plentiful; herbs,
sushi, waters, wines, coffees,
teas, pies, brownies
and more were available.
There were also plant medicines,
tonics and an elixir
bar.
Specialty vendors
abounded, including Chef
Holden Jagger of Altered
Plates, who was also featured
on March 19 at the
third annual Vintage Grocers
celebration in Malibu,
where he served a Malay
Charlotte’s Web Hemp
Thai Tarik drink.
Jagger provides private
cannabis dining experiences

pairings wherein a dish is
paired with a specific strain
of cannabis as one might
pair a wine with a food.
“I offer paired dinners
with foods from my own
garden that are sun grown
and from right in the Malibu
[American Viticultural
Area],” Jagger said.
Wholesam, a food truck
featuring Sami Udell, the
personal chef for Ludacris,
provided additional options.
The mood was festive
and attendees were curious
about the panoply of
options and the seemingly
unending emerging business,
investment, and consumption
opportunities in
the canna sector.
The emerging recreational
marijuana users
market is exploding after
California voters approved
Proposition 64 on Nov. 8,
2016, legalizing marijuana
use for citizens over 21.
The Emerald Exchange
event focused not only on
marijuana growing, but
on growing pains in a burgeoning
economy and sector
in the state and national
economy.
Attendees commented
and reflected on how the
national narrative has
segued from a celebratory
“smoke ’em if ya got
’em” tone to a realization
that cannabis is emerging
from a prohibition era to
a manufacturing, distribution
and regulation era.
Further, there is a central
focus on health and wellness,
and how cannabis
consumption can heal and
provide effective therapeutic
treatments. Some of
the proceeds of the event
benefited California-based
CannaKids, a cooperative
that provides marijuanabased
treatment modalities

Because of the everfluctuating
dynamics in the
cannabis sector, the Emerald
Exchange included
an informative and lively
speakers series addressing
emerging economic, supply
and demand, regulatory,
and cultural transitions
that are surging ahead due
to the changes in the regulatory
climate.
The Cannabis Appellations
Project, featuring Justin
Calvino, Genine Coleman
and Sunshine Johnson
from Northern California,
attracted a lot of attention.
An appellation is a legally

is grown such as cannabis
being grown for medicine,
food, fiber, fuel or fun, the
project’s website, www.

Art of Wine raises spirits, funds
Event benefits
preschool at Malibu
Jewish Center &
Synagogue
Barbara Burke
Freelance Reporter
It was a perfect Malibu
evening Saturday, March
18, when the Malibu Jewish
Center & Synagogue
preschool community
gathered for the Art of
Wine fundraiser, held at
Saddlerock Ranch.
The scene was idyllic
and the wine superb, as
attendees gathered for the
event which focused on
educating and nurturing
the next generation.
“We are an extraordinarily
blessed community
and the event tonight celebrates
everything we stand
for: beauty, generosity,
and, of course, wine,” said
Steven Weinberg, president
of the Malibu Jewish
Center said at the annual
fundraiser.
The event, held at the
pastoral Chateau Le Dome
at Saddlerock Ranch, included
a VIP Malibu Wine
Safari and featured wines
from Malibu’s award-winning
wineries.
“The status of early
childhood education has
been in a state of flux for
years, and the event tonight
helps us integrate
the newest philosophies
in early childhood education
in our classrooms with
what we want to supply in
classes to support the children’s
growth emotionally
and developmentally so
as to prepare them for the
world of tomorrow,” said
Tammy Leider, a teacher
of the 3-year-old class at
the Jewish Center’s preschool.
Leider and her date,
Grammy award-winning
producer Native Wayne
Jobson, smiled broadly as
they joined other attendees
who visited tables featuring
Malibu area vintners,
all of whom were delighted
to share their harvest with
the appreciative attendees.
The very well-attended
event featured wines from
Malibu wineries and a
wine cellar raffle.
Yohai Portal and Roy
Kariok played smooth
melodies on acoustic guitar
as attendees sampled,
mingled and enjoyed the
peaceful surroundings.
“As a member of the
Malibu Jewish Community
and a vintner with the
Malibu Coast MVA, I’m
thrilled to be here to support
the community and
our synagogue,” said Steve
Gilbard, Triunfo Winery’s
proprietor and winemaker.
The wine was superb,
as was the food, but the
center of attention was the
auctioning off of artwork
made by the children.
The Fox class at the
preschool created a piece
called “Little Pieces of
Love,” valued at the auction
as priceless, of course.
“This beautiful collaborative
piece of art was
lovingly created by the
Fox class,” the placard accompanying
the artwork
said. “Using pieces of tree
bark, twigs, corrugated
cardboard and paint, this
children’s masterpiece was
made as the children were
experiencing and reflecting
on nature surrounding
us.”
The unique artwork exemplified
the great work

done at the Malibu Jewish
Center to educate children,
allow them to grow and
express themselves, and to
teach them Judaic culture
and principles.
It was very apropos
that, as attendees gathered
amidst the gorgeous surroundings
and sipped on
some of the best wines
around, it was all about
the children who benefited
from the event.
“This event could not
have been done so well
without the volunteers
and parents who donated
their time,” said Lauren
Abramowitz, office manager
at the Malibu Jewish
Center. “We are so thankful
for the continuous support
of the Semler family.”

SMMEF concert raises $88K for SMMUSD art programs
Submitted by SMMEF
Five-time Grammy winner
Michael McDonald
(formerly of the Doobie
Brothers and Steely Dan)
and four-time Grammy
winner “Weird Al”
Yankovic headlined the
12th staging of the Santa
Monica-Malibu Education
Foundation’s annual
benefit concert on March
11, with student musicians
who helped bring down the
house.
Also featuring special
guest Amy Holland, Richard
Page (of Mr. Mister)
and Venice, the Greg Coote
Concert For The Arts raised
more than $88,000 for arts
programs in the Santa-
Monica Malibu public
schools.
“What a thrilling evening,”
said Linda Greenberg,
the executive director
of the Education Foundation.
“It is amazing to see
the skill of our student musicians
as they put on an
incredible show alongside
our headliners. Their talent
and this show are testaments
to our community’s
dedication to ensuring
excellent arts education.
We are so grateful to the
generous artists, crew, volunteers,
students and each
attendee who made this
concert such a success.”
Inside Santa Monica
High School’s historic Barnum
Hall, student choir,
orchestra and band members
from Samohi, Malibu
High School and Olympic
High School, sang and
played along with the pros.
Highlights of the evening
included Richard Page’s
“Broken Wings” and “Kyrie,”
“Weird Al” Yankovic’s
“Tacky” and “The
Saga Begins,” and Michael
McDonald’s “Minute by
Minute” and “What a Fool
Believes.”
All the artists joined
McDonald on stage, and
brought the crowd to their
feet, during the show’s
rousing final numbers, “Takin’
It to the Streets” and
“With a Little Help From
My Friends.”
Emceed by longtime radio
personality Cynthia
Fox of 100.3 The Sound,
the concert also featured an
exciting live auction that
included signed guitars, the
drum set from the stage,
tickets to “The Voice,” and
other unique items, all supporting
the cause.
This year, the concert was
renamed the Greg Coote
Concert For The Arts, in
memory of entertainment
executive and school district
parent Greg Coote.
Coote led the creation of
the Ed Foundation’s For
The Arts endowment campaign
to ensure the continuity
of arts programming
for students in the Santa
Monica-Malibu public
schools. The community
lost an extraordinary champion
of the arts when Coote
sadly passed away in 2014.
At the start of the show,
Famed artists and students perform in the finale of the Santa Monica-Malibu Education
Foundation’s annual benefit concert on March 11. TourBusLive.com
Coote’s daughters, Diane
and Suzanne, made a moving
speech in honor of their
father and his dedication
to arts education in public
schools.
Proceeds from the show
will support arts programs
in SMMUSD schools
next year and the Education
Foundation’s For The
Arts Endowment. These
concerts have now raised
nearly $1 million for arts
programs in Santa Monica
and Malibu public schools.
Featuring Venice every year
as the house band, past concerts
have included Jackson
Browne, David Crosby,
Billy Idol, America, Heart,
and many other icons, all of
whom have donated their
time and talents to perform
with musicians and singers
from SMMUSD high
schools.
Species
From Page 5
Biologist Lee Kats is vice
provost for research and
strategic initiatives at Pepperdine
University, and an
authority on the California
newt, Malibu’s largest salamander,
and a California
species of special concern.
He and his students have
collected data on the local
population of the species
for nearly three decades.
“I expect this will be the
best year for amphibians in
many, many years,” Kats
told the Surfside News.
“Both stream and temporary
pond habitats look
great. The invasive crayfish
do not fare well in our
streams when there is high
flow and fast current.”
Kats said he anticipates
his surveys of local amphibians
this year will be
comparable to surveys prior
to the drought.
“One reason that newts
may be able to bounce back
quickly is that the adults
are very long-lived — we
think they may live to 30-
40 years,” Kats explained.
“Best-case scenario is that
the drought was not severe
enough to dramatically impact
the adult newts and
now with streams primed
with spring rains, they
will migrate back to the
streams for breeding and
egg laying.”
Things are also looking
up for the Western pond turtle.
This species is the only
turtle native to the Malibu
area, but like the newt, it is
extirpated from much of its
historic range. Just a couple
of isolated populations remain,
and the drought has
had a major impact on the
turtle’s survival. In recent
years, volunteers carried
hundreds of gallons of water
over half a mile to keep
one turtle population alive.
In 2015, the situation became
so dire that 48 of the
last remaining turtles were
collected and temporarily
relocated to a sanctuary
to ensure that the species
didn’t become locally extinct.
Things are different
this year.
“The turtles have a pond
full of water,” Dagit said.
“And we have a few juveniles
in our handicapped
turtle pool that will be released
soon.”
The stellar success of
another local amphibian
this year has made national
news. The threatened California
red-legged frog, immortalized
by Mark Twain
in his 1865 story “The
Celebrated Jumping Frog
of Calaveras County,” was
once common in the Malibu
area, but has been locally
extinct since the 1970s.
The species was reintroduced
in 2015 in a special
recovery program that
translocated eggs from a
small population discovered
in the Simi Hills to
several locations in the
Santa Monica Mountains.
The transplanted frogs survived
despite the drought,
and appear to be successfully
reproducing. New
egg clusters were identified
at an undisclosed location
earlier this month, confirming
the project’s success.
“I was literally crying
when the stream team
showed me the photos of
egg masses,” National
Park Service Ecologist
Katy Delaney stated in
a press release. “There’s
still plenty of work to be
done, but this is a major
moment for the project.”
Like the California newt
and the Western pond
turtle, the California redlegged
frog requires clean
year-round water that isn’t
infested with predatory
non-natives like crawfish.
For the first time in years,
all three amphibians have
everything they need for
survival, at least for now.
“It’s super fantastic that
we’ve had all this rain,
but it’s still not enough,”
Dagit told the Surfside
News. “Creeks are already
drying up. It’s a big problem
for populations on the
brink.”
Malibu residents can
help protect rare and special
aquatic species by
making sure stream setback
requirements for development
are met and by
keeping runoff and yard
waste out of creeks and
drainages. Park visitors
can help, too, by treading
lightly around aquatic
habitat.

Pepperdine names new law department dean
Malibu’s Caron to
take helm June 1
Submitted by Pepperdine
University
Paul L. Caron has been
named the
Duane and
Kelly Roberts
Dean of the
Pepperdine
School of Law.
Caron, currently
associ-
Caron
ate dean for research and
faculty development and
professor of law, will formally
begin his responsibilities
as dean on June 1.
“Since his first days as
a distinguished visiting
scholar through his selection
as a tenured professor
and now his candid and
strategic participation in
this search process, I have
admired Professor Caron
for his keen intellect, generous
outreach to others,
and his sterling reputation
within the national legal
community,” shares Pepperdine
president Andrew
K. Benton. “It will be a
privilege to work side-byside
with him to advance
the Pepperdine School of
Law, an entity we both hold
in high esteem. He will be,
I believe, a remarkable law
dean.”
Caron came to the
School of Law in 2010 as
the D & L Straus Distinguished
Visiting Professor
of Law. He joined the
School of Law tenured
faculty in 2013 as professor
of law and assumed the
role of associate dean for
research and faculty development
in 2015. Previously
Caron served as the
associate dean of faculty
and the Charles Hartsock
Professor of Law at the
University of Cincinnati
College of Law.
“Paul Caron is a highly
regarded scholar and wonderful
mentor to our law
school students,” says Pepperdine
provost Rick R.
Marrs. “He has a comprehensive
knowledge of legal
education in our country
and a compelling vision for
the place of our law school
in that landscape. I eagerly
anticipate working with
him as he helps us achieve
our goal to move the law
school toward national
prominence, providing our
students with the highest
educational experience and
empowering them to become
leaders in their communities.”
A widely respected expert
in tax law, Caron has
written over 50 books and
scholarly articles and is the
publisher and editor of Tax
Prof Blog. He is also the
owner and publisher of the
Law Professor Blogs Network
of more than 50 blogs
in other areas of law edited
by law professors around
the country. He was named
the third most influential
person in legal education
by the National Jurist in
2016 and has been listed as
one of the 100 most influential
people in tax and accounting
every year since
2006 by Accounting Today.
“I am honored to be chosen
as the next dean of this
great law school at this important
point in its history,
following in the footsteps
of Deanell Tacha, Ken
Starr, Richard Lynn, and
Ron Phillips,” Caron said.
“I look forward to building
on their work to advance
Pepperdine’s unique position
in legal education by
combining academic and
research excellence with a
deep-rooted commitment
to our Christian mission
that welcomes people of all
faiths and backgrounds.”
Caron received his LLM
from Boston University, JD
from Cornell Law School,
and AB from Georgetown
University. He and his wife,
Courtney, reside in Malibu.

Now that marijuana is
legalized, the challenges
include how to regulate
its growing, production,
marketing and distribution.
An industry that for
so long was not part of the
regulatory world is headed
dead-on into the regulatory
realm.
The speakers had an
overall sense hope that,
as the formal opprobrium
attendant with laws prohibiting
recreational marijuana
use and possession
subsides somewhat, the
essence of cannabis culture
in Northern California will
not disappear. They had a
strong determination to retain
their culture and way
of life. Medical marijuana
was legalized in California
in 1996, and for many of
these farmers, marijuana
growing goes back much
further than that. As the
artisanal, small batch cannabis
cultivators and medicine
makers from Northern
California gathered to provide
both education and
top quality products in a
format that encouraged a
mindful dialogue in a pristine
environment, the new
420-friendly world and all
the complications of the
forthcoming transitions
seemed a world away.
Regulatory and compliance
issues, decisions
whether to buy wholesale
or produce on site, tax concerns,
the forces of supply
and demand, and issues
surrounding all the emerging
peripheral economies
hover just over the horizon.
For one evening, as the
sun set gloriously over
the horizon of the Malibu
Mountains, attendees settled
in to watch the breathtaking
view and to enjoy
the evening’s festivities
and music.
Attendee Lynette Roblero
summed up the mood.
“I came here today to be
part of a change, a movement
to an organic choice,”
Roblero said. “I believe
CBD is part of that movement.
It is for people who
don’t want to get high but
want these products that
are able to help with sports
medicine, holistic health
care, pain management,
homeopathic remedies and
overall organic wellness.”

On Common Ground
Beware of nests before tree trimming
Jenn Guess
Senior Wildlife Technician
California Wildlife Center
“There are many laws on the
federal, state, and county level
protecting native wildlife. It is
illegal to remove, destroy, or
tamper with an active nest.”
Jenn Guess — senior wildlife technician at the
California Wildlife Center
Spring, summer and
fall are active times
for people and wildlife
alike.
It may seem like a good
time of year to complete
landscaping projects, but
if your plans include tree
trimming you will want to
reconsider the time frame.
The best time to trim trees
is from early December
through late January.
More than 350 species
of birds live, nest
or migrate through the
Los Angeles area in any
given year. Many of
these species use trees,
shrubs, and brush to build
nests and safely raise
their young. Most birds
nest between March and
September, although a
few species like pigeons
and hummingbirds have
an extended nesting
season. Birds aren’t the
only animals getting use
out of those trees. Squirrels
also build high nests
out of twigs, leaves, and
fiber to keep their young
safe. Squirrels nest from
February to April and
again from September to
November.
California Wildlife Center
does not recommend
moving forward with any
tree trimming projects
from March through September.
If you must proceed
with tree trimming projects,
be sure to carefully
inspect the tree for collections
of twigs or debris at
the Y intersection of all
branches. Some nests are
only 1 inch in diameter, so
make sure to be diligent.
Squirrel nests are active
during the fall, so you will
want to look for larger
bundles of leaves and
twigs, too. If a collection
of debris looks conspicuous,
use binoculars to get
a better look.
The Audubon Society
suggests looking on the
ground all around the
tree for a collection of
bird droppings. If droppings
are consolidated in
a single area, carefully
inspect the branches above
as there might be a hidden
nest.
While inspecting your
landscape project, take
note if a bird flies close to
you and calls aggressively;
it might be protecting
a nest nearby. Try sitting
quietly for a period of
time observing and see if
there is frequent activity
to and from one place.
If so, a bird or squirrel
might be building a nest
or bringing food to its
offspring.
Most birds conceal their
nests very well so it will
be difficult to spot for the
average person. Consider
bringing in a trained
biologist to conduct the
inspection.
If an active nest is
found, all activity that
might potentially disturb
the nest must stop immediately.
The Audubon
Society suggests that all
potentially harmful activity
must stop within a 50
foot perimeter of songbird
nests and a 500 foot
perimeter of raptor nests.
The nest will need to be
left alone until all young
have gone and the nest
is abandoned. There are
many laws on the federal,
state, and county level
protecting native wildlife.
It is illegal to remove,
destroy, or tamper with an
active nest.
Unfortunately, not
everyone is aware of the
importance of protecting
wildlife. If you come

Don’t Panic, It’s Organic
Solving readers’ woes from Malibu to Tennessee
Andy Lopez
Contributing Columnist
Invisible Gardener
It seems folks in Malibu
are not the only ones
reading my column.
Recently, I received a letter
from a reader in East Tennessee!
The letter read: Hi Andy,
Love your column! Here
are some problems I am
dealing with. Let’s see what
you can do for me! Thanks,
David”
David’s plant issues were
plentiful, with mentions of
the following: dogwoods
with spot anthracnose and
powdery mildew; apple and
hawthorn fruit trees with
cedar apple rust, apple scab
and fire blight; pin oak with
bacterial leaf scorch; skip
laurel and weeping cherry
with shot hole fungus; Leyland
cypress with seridum
canker.
Further, David’s pests
across various plants
included aphids, leaf miners,
spider mites, hemlock
woolly adelgid and Emerald
ash borer.
Wow, quite a list!
I will start with what they
all have in common: trace
mineral deficiency.

If you have been reading
my column, you would
have picked up on me saying
the higher the Brix, the
fewer pests and diseases.
So one thing they also all
have in common is low
Brix levels.
Another thing they also
have in common is the use
of chemical fertilizers.
While you do not mention
what you are fertilizing
these with, I will assume
that it is not organic.
Chemical fertilizers are full
of toxic ingredients besides
the actual fertilizer it has.
A good chemist that is
also a good gardener would
be able to provide plants
with the proper mineral
levels needed for healthy
growth. However, he or she
would also have to provide
for a good healthy soil
environment.
So another thing these
have in common is they
do not have a healthy soil
environment.
Pests and diseases will
always be there waiting for
the right conditions to occur.
Just like in the human
body.
There are two ways that
these things have to be
addressed: short term and
long term.
Here is the short term:
You can basically tell the
insects to go away. There
are many natural and organic
methods of doing so.
Here are a few that will
work: use compost tea (a
cup of live compost in a
pantyhose tied into a ball),
soak in 3 gallons clean
water overnight. Pour into
a sprayer. Spray the entire
plant once a week.
Use rock dust tea: a cup
of rock dust (a blend of
different rock dust is best),
soak in 3 gallons clean water
overnight. Spray entire
plant.
For best result, use both
at the same time!
Cold-brew coffee: This is
a coffee concentrate. It will
kill many insects on contact.
If you want it stronger,
use powdered caffeine
but be careful not to spray
yourself.
Garlic: Buy garlic barrier.
Follow instructions. Try not
to make it too strong, as it
will be too much for most
folks to handle. Usually, 1
gallon in 100 gallons water
will do. Spray the entire
plant, try to spray the trunk
as well as the leaves.
These will work for both
pests and diseases.
The long-term care procedures
are as follows.
You do not mention that
you have done a soil test.
Send a sample of the various
soils you have around
the trees/plants in question.
Label them, so you know
which soil belongs around
which plants.
How is the pH? PH is
imperative in mineral availability.
You should also send
samples of the soil to a lab
that does microbial testing
and see what types of
microbes you have. More
importantly is what types
you do not have. This will
be your goal, to apply
microbes atop the soil in
proper amounts, which will
encourage their growth.
You will need to find or
make compost. Compost is
the core foundation of good
health. You do not mention
compost. This is critical.
Find or make compost that
is rich in microbes, minerals
and mycelium. This will
take time, thus it’s longterm.
This is something that
you should have been doing
from Day 1.
All of these pests and
diseases are telling me that
you basically have sick,
unhealthy soil.
That is the real problem
you are having.
You will need to do soil
testing on each area. Find
out the pH. You will see
that it is probably way too
high or way too low. These
microbes live in a certain
pH level between 6 .3 and
6.8. Any levels above and
below will have less and
less of the proper bacteria
that are needed to assimilate
the minerals and then make
them available to the plants.
You can help the plants
immediately by foliar
spraying them with compost
tea and a good mineral
source. I use Crop Boaster,
which is basically minerals
for humans, but that is
also being sold for plants.
By foliar spraying, you are
introducing the minerals
through the leaves and by
passing the root systems.
In the long run, you must
bring the root system back
online and absorb the minerals.
The roots normally
have root hairs, but not if
you use chemical fertilizers,
so I would start using
organic fertilizers, which
have microbes as well as
mycelium.
The mycelium is the
most important living organism
in the soil. City water
with chemicals in them
will kill the mycelium.
Chemical Fertilizers kill the
mycelium not because of
the fertilizer, but because of
the toxins they have. Thus,
organic gardening came
into being because it should
be free from these toxins,
but not all organic fertilizers
are free of toxins. Buy
on Omri-approved fertilizer,
and you will be OK.
I would also make a foliar
spray from the organic
fertilizer and foliar spray
that.
I am betting that the
soil is toxic and has too
much high nitrogen in it.
Many folks think that high
nitrogen is good for plants,
but it is not. Do a Brix
reading, and you will likely
see the Brix is low for these
plants. Foliar spraying will
raise the Brix, but it won’t
stay up until the soil is also
functioning.
Hope this helps, and
thanks for reading my
column!

It’s great news for all, and
it’s timely as ever, since
the City’s Earth Month is

This past Saturday,
the City of Malibu asked
residents and businesses
to turn off their lights at
8:30 p.m. in observation
of Earth Hour, and in
recognition of the need to
conserve energy. Kudos to
those who participated and
chose to give this earth
the attention it deserves.
However, if you missed it,
don’t worry, there’s plenty
more where that came
from.
Starting on that same
day, the City also began

I’ve long admired
Malibu residents’ dedication
to the health of its
stunning, one-of-a-kind
environment, but now is a
time for residents to truly

Candidate School in 1942
and graduated in 1943. He
was a member of the 8th
Air Force in England and
was Commanding Officer
of the unit that supplied
munitions for the D-Day
invasion. One afternoon
in 1944 a young woman
named Toni was driving
up to her family’s cabin in
Crestline with her sister,
Beverly. It was customary
in those days to pick
up hitchhikers who were
dressed in military uniform.
The hitchhiker Toni
and Beverly picked up this
particular day was Teufel.
When he got in the car,
Toni took one look at him
and realized not only did
she pick up a young man
whose name was Jack, but
she also realized that she hit
the “jackpot!” They were
married on July 2, 1945
and lived in Hollywood.
Richard, their oldest, was
born in 1946 and Robert
in 1952. They eventually
moved to a house in Van
Nuys to be near to Toni’s
parents and Toni’s sister
Beverly, her husband, Bob
Rippey, and their daughter,
April.
In 1948 Teufel joined the
Longtime Malibu resident Jack Andrew Teufel (right) died
March 5. Photo submitted
fire department and was
stationed at Engine Company
#82 in Hollywood for
20 years. Teufel was very
proud of being a fireman.
They were one big family
and played practical
jokes on each other. His
fellow firefighters realized
quickly that not only was
Teufel an excellent and devoted
fireman but also truly
a “Jack of All Trades.” He
contributed to the firehouse
in ways that exceeded what
was expected of him, even
including cooking.
In 1964, Teufel helped
his father-in-law start Walter
Allen Plant Rentals on
Melrose Avenue across the
street from Paramount Studios.
Teufel’s love for
plants and Walter’s relationships
with the studio
executives was a recipe
for success. Teufel and
his brother-in-law, Bob
Rippey, would eventually
take over the business from
Walter until they decided
to sell it in 1988. Teufel
stayed on with the new
owner until 1993 when he
retired. He and Toni moved
from Northridge to Malibu
in 1994. It was always a
dream of Toni’s to live near
the ocean and be able to
take daily beach walks.
For Teufel, retiring from
Walter Allen meant more
time to be devoted to the
one thing that was more
important to him than anything:
his family and Toni.
He had a busy schedule.
Thursdays were spent In
Santa Barbara where Robert
and his family lived.
He and Toni would pick up
their two youngest grandchildren,
Kristin and Evan,
from school. Teufel did all
the chores he knew Robert
would never do until it was
time for his 5:00 scotch, always
with three ice cubes.
Toni loved to take Kristin
and Evan shopping. Teufel
would always say “don’t
spend any money” with a
smile on his face, knowing
very well that was impossible.
Teufel especially
looked forward to taking
Brady and Cassidy, his two
older grandchildren, fishing
in the Sierras during
the summer months. Friday
nights were quite often
spent in Valencia watching
Nick and Colin Carey, his
niece April Carey’s two
sons, play football. Teufel
devoted his time to his
garden and in particular
his roses. Teufel was not a
competitive person about
many things, with the exception
of fishing and in
particular, his roses. He
made sure his were the biggest,
the brightest and far
superior to anyone else’s in
the neighborhood. And to
this day they are the most
beautiful and envy to all.
College graduations of all
four of his grandchildren
that include UC Santa
Cruz, Berkeley and UCLA
was something that made
Teufel very proud.
Teufel is survived by
his beloved wife, Blanche
Rose Allen Teufel; brother
Major Richard L. Teufel,
USAF RET.; sons Richard
Allen Teufel and Robert
Allen Teufel; daughter-inlaws
Julie Teufel and Kathy
Longacre; niece April
Rippey Carey; grandchildren
Brady Allen Teufel,
Cassidy Lynch Teufel,
Kristin Bordier Teufel,
Evan Whitney Teufel;
grandnephews Nicholas
Allen Carey and Colin Patrick
Carey; and three great
grandchildren.
A service will be held
in Teufel’s honor on Saturday,
April 15, at Las
Flores Creek Park. This
park is the former home of
the Teufel family, owned
by them from 1973-1994,
and the setting of countless
memories, parties, celebrations,
rainstorms and the
infamous Malibu fires.
In lieu of flowers, donations
can be made in
Teufel’s name to the Firemen’s
Relief Association.

Youngsters’ talents shine at
Malibu Music and Art Festival
Barbara Burke
Freelance Reporter
The mood was lighthearted
and jovial as the
crowd arrived at the Malibu
Music and Art Festival Friday,
March 24, at Malibu
City Hall’s Civic Theater.
Attendees were treated
to musical performances by
rising stars and lovely artwork
from Malibu youth.
The evening included
solo performances by Isabella
Marena and William
Thonson, both very talented
guitarists, and vocalist
Andrew Springer.
Springer opened the
show with a fabulous rendition
of “I’ll Be There,”
hitting every note perfectly.
“Phew! I think I did it
well,” Springer said after
the show. “I got it off of
my chest. I had a little stage
fright, but I did OK.”
Marena, gifted with a
sultry voice and a talent for
playing a mean guitar, performed
John Mayer’s “The
Heart of Life” as well as
Adele’s coming of age tune,
“A Million Years Ago.”
“I play French horn,
trumpet, piano and guitar,”
said Thonson, a ninth-grader
at Malibu High School.
“This was the first time I’ve
performed on stage.”
With performance acumen
well beyond his years
he belted out “Ain’t No
Sunshine” and “House
of the Rising Sun” while
shredding superbly on his
Gibson Les Paul.
Thonson’s repertoire is
wide and his range superb.
“How are you all doing
tonight?” he asked, as the
crowd murmured positively.
“Now, I’ll play some blues.”
The delighted crowd applauded
appreciatively.
The blues gave way to
Led Zeppelin’s “Whole
Lotta Love” performed by
Lulu and the Frantic Shrimp,
featuring Lauren Reed on
vocals. Reed, 12, is one of
those performers who exudes
joy while working a
crowd.
Her brother Spencer, who
plays guitar for the band,
collaborated with Lauren to
compose two foot-tapping
and hand-clapping original
tunes: “She’s No Angel”
and “Crystal Clear.”
Alexys Marie, another
entertaining and talented
band, brought the crowd to
its feet as they played the
Irish pop rock hit “Breakeven”
and their original
piece “Triple Threats.”
Not to be outdone, Max
Volume, an all-male band
featuring three vocalists,
rounded out the night of
terrific performances by
wowing the crowd with
renditions of Styx’s “Renegade”
and Kansas’ “Carry
On Wayward Son.”
“All of the performers
did really well,” said
13-year-old Morgan Feig.
“They sang all the original
songs and all the covers terrifically.
It was awesome.”
Feig spoke for all attendees
who thoroughly enjoyed
the performances as well as
the terrific visual artworks
by area youth from the sixth
to twelfth grades.

intriguing photographs,
portraits, paintings, watercolors,
block prints, collages
and pencil drawings
bedecked the City Hall.
The littlest Malibuites reviewed
the dazzling display.
“What’s it supposed to
be?” one child art critic
asked, looking at an abstract.
A companion paused,
carefully perusing the work.
“Whatever they want it
to be,” she mused.
Little Helena Joujonroche,
a fourth-grader at
Our Lady of Malibu, was
very impressed with her colleagues’
submissions.
“It was really cool to see
all the art. It was awesome
and everyone is so artistic,”
she said. “I love art. It is my
favorite subject.”
Helena’s mother, Irma
Joujonroche, appreciated the
City sponsoring the show.
“I think it is amazing to
see such a collaboration of
art on show for the community
to see,” she said. “It
is so lovely and there is so
much talent here.”
As the evening wound
down, one attendee preparing
to leave lingered for a
moment in front of the artwork
that best summed up
the essence of the evening.
It was a photo by Luke
Webster depicting a young
child jumping up gleefully,
his hands outstretched toward
the clouds.
“The Sky is the Limit,”
the caption read.
For a wonderful group
of very talented and young
Malibu singers, instrumentalists,
and artists, the sky is
indeed the limit.
New exhibit, opening April 2, to
showcase the art of Tyrus Wong
Submitted by the City of
Malibu
The Malibu Cultural Arts
Commission’s next public
art installation “Painting
the Sky: The Kites of Tyrus
Wong” in Malibu City Hall,
featuring the kites of renowned
artist Tyrus Wong,
opens Sunday, April 2.
Wong was a Hollywood
studio artist, painter, printmaker,
calligrapher, greeting-card
illustrator and, in
later years, maker of unique
elegant kites. Wong was
one of the most celebrated
Chinese-American artists
of the 20th century.
“The gorgeous kites of
Tyrus Wong will offer inspiration
and cheer to everyone
who visits Malibu
City Hall,” said Mayor
Lou La Monte. “Malibu is
proud to host an exhibition
of the work of such a significant
artist.”
The exhibit will be on
display from April 2-July
28 in the City Hall Atrium,
with an opening reception
from 1-4 p.m. Sunday,
April 2, with a special
screening of the documentary,
“Tyrus” at 3 p.m. The
film is an in-depth portrait
of the art, life and enduring
impact of Wong, taking
viewers on a journey from
his birthplace in Guangzhou,
China, to his life as
an artist in LA and finally to
the beaches of Santa Monica,
where he flew his kites.
Wong’s career took off
while working at Disney
where, as a landscape
painter, his talent was immediately
recognized to
establish the look and
style for Disney’s classic
animated feature “Bambi.”
He then moved to Warner
Bros. Studios, where he
worked for over 30 years
as a pre-production illustrator
on dozens of live-action
films including “The Sands
of Iwo Jima,” “Rebel Without
a Cause” and “The Wild
Bunch.”
Upon his retirement,
Wong re-discovered his
childhood love of flying
kites. He designed and
made all of his kites by
hand using bamboo, rattan,
nylon and string. He would
fill the sky at the beach in
Santa Monica with his creations:
flocks of butterflies,
owls, cranes, and swallows,
schools of fish, a panda, and
on windy days, a 100-footlong
centipede.
The exhibit also features
photographs by Sara Jane
Boyers’ collection “Go Fly
a Kite: Saturdays at the
Beach with Tyrus Wong.”
Wong passed away on Dec.
30, 2016 at the age of 106.

‘The Interference’ brings important message to Smothers Theatre
Award-winning
drama portrays
a campus rape
survivor’s story
Submitted by Pepperdine
University
Theater students from
Pepperdine University
scooped up a pair of prestigious
awards at the 2016
Edinburgh Fringe Festival
and earned a series of
coveted four and five-star
reviews.
Their play, “The Interference,”
a fast-paced drama
about a campus rape survivor’s
struggle for justice
written by Scottish-based
playwright Lynda Radley,
returns for its U.S. premiere
at Pepperdine University in
April 2017.
The show will take the
stage at Smothers Theatre,
24255 Pacific Coast Highway,
at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday,
April 5-Friday, April
7 and at 2 p.m. Saturday,
April 8.
Within days of its world
premiere in the summer of
2016, the show earned acclaim
from leading critics
at prestigious publications,
including The Scotsman,
The Herald, British Theatre
Guide, The List and Broadway
Baby. The List called
“The Interference” “a perceptive
and compelling
piece about a social system
rotten with male privilege,”
which the British Theatre
Guide said “captured the
essence of the moment in
all its rage, its despair and
hope.”
The production was
awarded a Fringe First, an
award designed to recognize
outstanding new theater
work and to celebrate
the very best new writing.
It has also received a
“The Interference”
What: This award-winning drama, written by Scottishbased
playwright Lynda Radley, portrays the tale of a
campus rape survivor’s struggle for justice.
When: 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, April 5-Friday, April 7; 2
p.m. Saturday, April 8
Where: Smothers Theatre, Pepperdine University,

for Pepperdine students, call (310) 506-4522 or visit

Bobby — an award given
by Broadway Baby in
recognition of the best
of five star shows. It was
shortlisted for Amnesty
International’s Freedom of
Expression Award for outstanding
work addressing
human rights issues.
“‘The Edinburgh’ Fringe
is the greatest festival of
arts in the world, and also
one of the toughest and
most competitive environments
you can imagine,”
said Director Cathy Thomas-Grant,
who also serves
as the divisional dean of
Pepperdine University’s
Fine Arts Division. “To
have won these awards and
earned such outstanding
reviews is a tremendous
tribute to the dedication of
our students and to the outstanding
power of Lynda’s
writing.”
It is the second time that
Cellist’s Recital Series show is sold out
Pepperdine Scotland, the
university’s own Scottishbased
production company,
has won a Fringe First.
Pepperdine Scotland not
only managed the project
but also worked with a variety
of campaigning organizations,
such as the Rape
Crisis charity, to highlight
issues around sexual violence.
White Ribbon Scotland,
which aims to change social
attitudes toward rape
and other forms of violence
against women, believes
it is vital to get the
issues discussed.
“It’s terrific to have such
a high-quality and effective
play which will help
change attitudes and stop
victim blaming,” said
Davy Thompson, the organization’s
communications
officer. “A lot of guys try
to hide behind a pretense
that somehow violence is
a woman’s fault, and it’s
not. ‘The Interference’ also
looks at the legal hurdles
victims face when they try
to get justice and they just
shouldn’t be there.”
While the play is set in
an American university, it
is inspired by events both
in the USA and UK; the
“grimly realistic take on
rape culture” raises questions
that go far beyond
the campus environment
(TV Bomb).
“It’s important to get
these issues talked about
and for men to make it
absolutely clear that they
think violence towards
women is completely unacceptable,”
said Thompson.
“The campaign against
drunk driving showed that
we can make substantial
changes to the attitudes of
a generation and we really
need to do the same with
violence against women.”

Tickets are sold out for
the final show in Pepperdine’s
2016-2017 Recital

and fresh approach to classical
concerts, Shaw often
tours his “Radical Classic”

Ride of the Week
A rare version of the famous General Lee
Fireball Tim Lawrence
Contributing Columnist
Malibu resident
When I reached out
to some friends
to find a unique
car for this last weekend’s
Wheels and Waves
car show, I got a host of
suggestions. We wanted
something that would be
fun for people to see, and
MALIBU LIBRARY
SPEAKER SERIES
we had a lot of ideas.
But through that process,
and knowing that this is
Hollywood, the idea of a
film car solidified.
A friend suggested that
one of the most iconic
movie cars ever is the General
Lee from “The Dukes
of Hazzard.” And knowing
a lot about that car due to
the fact that I interviewed
the creator of the show
on my show, it seemed a
fitting car for a tiny Hollywood
town. So, I was put
in touch with Dave Joseph,
owner of www.galleryjosephs.com,
a business for
representing and framing
museum-quality fine art.
Dave and Steven Joseph
are father and son co-owners
of a nearly perfect 1969
Dodge Charger General
Lee. Steven is 29 years old
and started watching “The
Dukes of Hazzard” re-runs
in 1997, when he was
10. He started collecting
Dukes memorabilia and
convinced his dad to build
(or find) a completed 1969
440 Charger General Lee.
According to Dave, the
first one was purchased
from a guy in Tennessee
and was a “bucket
of bolts.” It had to be
returned.
“After a year passed and
we were no longer gunshy,
we found a builder
in San Diego and gave
him a deposit to build us a
perfect General Lee,” Dave
EARTH DAY SPECIAL
In partnership with
Pepperdine University
Dr. Sylvia Earle
National Geographic Society Explorer in Residence. Time
Magazine’s “Hero for the Planet.” The first female chief
scientist of NOAA. Expert on the impact of oil spills.
Called “Her Deepness” by the New Yorker and the New
York Times and “Living Legend” by the Library of Congress
said.
“He was behind on
getting his cars built for
others, and was having
difficulties. We got the car
incomplete about halfway
to go and invested a lot if
time and money to get it
to where it is today. We
love it so much and have
made many friends going
to Starcar Central events
(our club) and shows that
we wouldn’t sell it for a
million dollars.”
Most General Lee cars
are variations on the original,
although the originals
were spray canned with
orange paint and crashed
not too long after. To find
or create one as a perceived
perfect version is
pretty rare.
But Dave goes on with
more cool info: “My boys
Derek and Steven, are special
needs and very loving
guys. As a family, we have
bonded when we do events
as we did at the Hollywood
Christmas Parade this last
holiday. Steven was smiling
like a Cheshire Cat,
waving at onlookers lining
Hollywood Boulevard and
the Red Carpet.
“Halfway through the
parade, the Dixie horn
blared. ‘Dad you’re too
heavy on the Dixie horn,’
said Steven. I had to
replace the compressor
as I had blown it out by
sounding off too much. But
it was worth it to see the
smiling and laughing faces
while we passed by.”
In regards to the Confederate
flag, Dave hasn’t
gotten one bad vibe or
comment in 11 years. And
being a point of contention
for some with the flag, we
can in this town especially
see that this car is simply
a film character and no
different than any other.
And underneath that skin
lies a classic that just about
any car guy would dream
of having.
Big thanks to Dave for
visiting us and bringing his
hero car.
This begs the question,
What is your favorite
movie car? Leave me a
comment on my website
and we may bring it to the
next show!

The delicious, moist, flavorful

Like many of the dishes
at D’Amore’s, this delicious
option is from Joe
D’Amore’s grandmother’s
restaurant.
As with many things in
life, there is a back story
about why D’Amore began
the restaurant.
“There’s a silver cloud
in every dark lining,”
D’Amore said softly. “My
wife, Maureen, died in her
30s of toxic shock syndrome,
leaving me with
four small children. I was
a struggling actor and

needed a different business
when she became ill.
“So, I called my grandma
and got all of her recipes
and went into the pizza
business. I never would
have gone into the pizza
business if that didn’t happen.”
Family is what Joe
D’Amore is all about and
he is celebrating 30 years
in the pizza business this
April.
There are nine restaurant
locations and D’Amore is
passing parts of the business
to his children. His
daughter Lea operates the
Thousand Oaks location
and his daughter Caroline,
a D.J., operates the 3rd
Street location on the west
side of L.A.
D’Amore’s is an institution
in Malibu. Customers
come in and browse the
many pictures depicting
celebrities and notables
who frequent the establishment.
The restaurant
has a homely, small town
feel. However, what really
grabs customers as they arrive
is that wonderful pizza
smell emanating the delicious
marriage of tomato
sauce and pizza crust. The
aroma foreshadows the
decadent experience the
food provides.
Italian hospitality permeates
the place, and it is
important to the D’Amore
family that everyone feels
at home.
“If a customer calls in
an order, we’ll be glad to
go over to PC Greens and
pick up some food for
them if they’re in a hurry
and we can pick up nonalcoholic
beverages as
well,” Joe said.
The restaurant offers
a gluten-free pizza with
vegan cheese (10-inch
$14; 16-inch $25). This
healthy option is tasty and
satisfying, and D’Amore is
happy that he can offer this
option to those who otherwise
could not enjoy pizza.
Dulce options are also
available. Try the homemade
tiramisu ($7). Tasty
and creamy, the dessert is
the perfect finish to a meal.
“This is the greatest profession
in the world if you
want to make people happy,”
D’Amore said. “Malibu
has wrapped its arms
around me; I am much appreciated
here.
“Many here in Malibu
have really made it and
they understand what it
takes to make something
great.”

Boys Soccer
Noonan, Andrews named All-League MVPs
Five Sharks earn
first team honors
Erin Redmond
Assistant Editor
Drive, discipline, leadership
and a desire to win —
that’s what MVPs are made
of. And the Malibu High
boys soccer team should
know, it has two of them.
Seniors Liam Noonan
and Kaden Andrews were
voted the All-Frontier
League Offensive and
Defensive Most Valuable
Players, respectively, by
the league’s coaches. It is
the first time in school history
both honors have gone
to Sharks players.
“Winning [MVP] as
a personal award really
speaks to the whole team
— I couldn’t do it without
them,” Andrews said. “... It
was just such an epic senior
year. It just goes to show
when a team comes together
— all these 11 seniors I
got to play with — it was
insane; best season ever,
honestly. It was fun.”
Noonan and Andrews
were anchors on offense and
defense, helping their team
to a league championship
and California Interscholastic
Federation playoff berth.
The Sharks boasted a dominant
10-1-1 league record
thanks to its experienced
roster of upperclassmen led
by its MVPs.
“I’m super, super proud
of the boys, both Liam and
Kaden, and of the team because
obviously it’s a team
sport,” Malibu coach Ignacio
Rodriguez said. “ ... Their
hard work, their discipline,
their leadership and looking
at the bigger picture, it just
speaks volumes about what
a great season the team had.”
Noonan was a force on
offense, hammering opponents
with 18 goals and 10
assists in his senior season.
Rodriguez said Noonan’s
ability to dribble, his ball
control and his ability to
force defenders to chase
him down made it hard for
teams to contain him.
Those skills were showcased
all season, but the
senior attacker said the
highlight for him was scoring
a hat trick in the first
25 minutes of Malibu’s
5-2 win over Foothill Tech
on Feb. 2. It was a feat, he
said, which wouldn’t have
been possible without his
teammates.
“We had a strong bond;
it was nothing like years
before,” Noonan said.
“Our team was really well
connected. We had lots of
seniors and we just really
wanted it. We went out and
got it. ... We really fought
for each other, not just for
ourselves.”
The 6-foot-5 Andrews
was just as dynamic on
defense. He used his tall
frame to cover a lot of
ground, especially with
his perfectly timed slide
tackles. His “aerial prowess,”
Rodriguez said, was
crucial in helping the team
defend against and attack
their opponents.
Malibu High seniors Liam Noonan (left) and Kaden
Andrews (right) receive All-league Offensive and
Defensive MVP awards, respectively, with Sharks coach
Ignacio Rodriguez. Photo submitted
Andrews’ intimidating
presence at center back
helped Malibu record a
league-high five shutouts
this season. But he was
a force offensively, too,
scoring four goals and recording
11 assists for the
Sharks.
“For a center back, those
are huge numbers,” Rodriguez
said. “I don’t think
we’ve ever had a center
back that contributed as
much as he did offensively,
let alone do what he did
defensively. ... He’s just an
incredible player and just
somebody that I’ve seen
grow and develop over
the last four years. I’m extremely
proud of him.”
In addition to being
named the MVPs, Noonan
and Andrews were among
five Sharks who earned First
Team All-League honors.
Senior teammates Nikolas
Engheben, Ethan London
and Kenny Averna also received
the first team nod.
The quintet are part of the
11 seniors who will graduate
this year, leaving a sizable
void on the squad. And
while their absence will be
felt next season, Rodriguez
said he’s happy to send
them off on a high note.
“Honestly, I’m just going
to miss them,” the Sharks
coach said. “At the end
of the day, coaching isn’t
about winning or losing.
It’s about bringing out the
best in these young men.
I’m just going to miss seeing
them, their characters
and attitudes and what they
brought to the team.”

Sharks’ early strength fades in 6-5 loss to Grace Brethren
Ryan Flynn
Freelance Reporter
The comeback was fool’s
gold.
Trailing by two runs in the
bottom of the sixth March
22, catcher Trevor Simonian
tied the game with one
stroke of the bat, a two-run
shot deep to left field. Just
like that, the home game
was 5-5, and a frustrating
afternoon raft with mistakes
was almost saved.
Almost.
Grace Brethren returned
serve just a half inning later
with a go-ahead run. Malibu
couldn’t answer, and
dropped their first league
game by a final score of 6-5.
Coach Billy Ashley was
critical of his team.
“The first six innings
were a mess. We didn’t
play to our capabilities,”
Ashley said. “We had mental
mistakes. Defensively,
offensively, base running.
We ran the gamut with mistakes
mentally.”
Malibu got off to a strong
start. Junior pitcher Will
Tamkin retired the side in
order in the top of the first.
The Sharks’ bats were also
hot early. Leadoff hitter
Cade McMillan was able
to score when Junior Tyler
Ray hit a grounder toward
third base that the Lancers
were unable to corral. Ben
Cohen, a senior, then singled
to center field, bringing
Ray in and giving Malibu
an early 2-0 cushion.
It was the last time they’d
lead. Grace Brethren got
three runners across in the
second inning, and one each
in the third and fifth innings.
Malibu had trouble fielding
the ball and making accurate
throws. Twice during
the course of the game pop
flies were dropped.
“I want them to learn
from their mistakes. That’s
the problem we seem to be
having: we’re not learning
from our mistakes,” Ashley
said. “And they keep happening
and they keep costing
us runs. You can’t win
ballgames that way. We
can’t hit a home run to tie
a ballgame every time we
come up to bat. It’s a matter
of doing the little things
and doing them so it’s repetitive
in their mind and
something that they can
gain confidence out of and
become better ballplayers.”
Ashley acknowledged the
team’s young players, but
said that is no excuse.
“They’ve all been playing
baseball their whole
lives. They know how the
game is played,” Ashley
said. “So to make these
Little League mistakes is
something that shouldn’t
be happening at this level.
They need to clean up their
act if they have any aspirations
of getting through this
league.”

Royce Clayton pays it forward as Lions’ coach
Former MLB
All-Star, Malibu
resident wants to
give back to game
Chris Megginson
Freelance Reporter
All seasons hope to end
with a dogpile celebrating a
league title. That’s how the
Maramonte League season
ended for Oaks Christian
School last spring, and
now former MLB player
and Malibu resident Royce
Clayton is hoping to lead
the Lions back to a title in
his first season as a high
school head coach.
Oaks (7-4) opened the
season 4-1, but hit a threegame
skid. Clayton says
that adversity only made his
team stronger. The Lions
reversed direction March
18 with a two-run walk-off
home run to top El Dorado,
3-2, in extra innings, and
then swept Agoura in a pair
of league games last week,
13-7 and 8-2.
“We’re on course,” Clayton
said. “There’s nothing
we have to run away from
anymore. Anytime you
come back from a deficit to
win a game you can always
look back on that … You
need something like that
[walk-off] to change momentum.
Sometimes when
things aren’t going your
way you don’t see that light
at the end of your tunnel.”
For Clayton, staying
on course comes with the
day-to-day of the program,
where he aims to use “baseball
as a mechanism to
teach these young men to
develop as young people.”
It’s that part of baseball
that drew him to becoming
a head coach this past fall,
nine years after playing his
last MLB game.
Clayton played 17 years
in the Majors with 11
teams, beginning in 1991
with a five-year stint in San
Francisco and retiring in
2007 with the Boston Red
Sox and a World Series
ring. He has lived in Malibu
ever since and kept his
passion for the game alive
by helping teams in Malibu
Little League at the Bluffs.
“I found a passion for
teaching being around Little
League baseball. It’s really
seeing the difference that
we can make by teaching
basic fundamental skills and
teaching the game the right
way and showing passion
and consideration toward
the kids,” Clayton said. “It
reminded me how instrumental
coaches were in my
life, and I felt this is my way
to give back with the baseball
knowledge I have.”
Let’s hit the streets
Clayton, now 47, traces
his coaching personality
back to a man he first met as
an 11-year-old Little Leaguer.
Dusty Baker, a Dodgers
player at the time, signed a
napkin for the kid from Burbank
that day. Twelve years
later, he was hired as Clayton’s
second manager with
the Giants in 1993.
“He’s the one that showed
tremendous confidence in
me as a young player, taking
over the shortstop position
for a pretty veteran
team at the time … He’d
wake me up and make sure
I got up every morning and
hung out with him and went
around the city and learned
how to be a pro,” Clayton
said. “Dealing with people
and the community, preparing
yourself every day,
eating right, making sure
you get your rest – there’s
things that Dusty taught me
that are so valuable about
life. I find myself teaching
these kids the same type of
life lessons.”
That season proved to be
one of Clayton’s best in his
MLB career, even though
he’d be named an All-Star
for the Cardinals in 1997.
Appearing in 153 games,
he hit .281 and drove in a
career-high 70 runs off 155
hits – the second most in
his career.
But it was the off-thefield
mentoring of how
to conduct oneself with a
pro-attitude which bonded
Clayton and Baker, who
was among the first to congratulate
him on taking
over the Oaks program.
“He always has some
good words of wisdom,”
Clayton said. “As far as being
true to who I am as a
person, showing the respect
and care for the players as
I would want to be treated,
and understanding that the
discipline that comes with it
should demand the respect,
but you give the players respect
as well —simple little
lessons we’ve always talked
about in the past that we still
talk about today.”
Giving back
Part of that respect begins
with hiring Malibu
resident Pete Cannon as the
Oaks’ strength coach after
years of working together
in Little League. Cannon, a
private trainer who played
collegiately at Maryland
and spent three seasons in
A-Ball with the St. Louis
Cardinals, said he had not
Malibu resident Royce Clayton, 47, poses with his Oaks Christian School players this
month in Westlake Village. Salvatore Soria/22nd Century Media
found a true baseball mentor
until meeting Clayton.
“When he talks, everyone
listens,” Cannon said. “You
see the glimmer in his eye,
that he’s very passionate
about the game and you’d
be remised to not sit there
and listen to every word he
is saying … I learn more
from his conversations
than I did in all of my high
school, college and three
seasons in the minors.”
Cannon says he can see
the positive impact Clayton
is having in the players’
lives and even in his and
other coaches.
For Clayton, part of that
is wanting to establish a
program that filters down
leadership.
“I think we’re developing
a program that’s the player’s
program. They’ll forge
a legacy for the kids that
come behind them. They’ll
help teach younger kids,
and they’re buying into it.
We have freshmen players
that look up to these varsity
guys, and these guys have
found it in their heart to try
to help the younger players,
and that creates a good
program,” Clayton said.
“We look to extend that all
the way down to the junior
high level.”
One of the perks of the
job, other than being able
to coach his son Royce Jr.
in a few years, is being able
to share with his team about
being a man of character,
being able to sacrifice for
others and the example of
Jesus Christ.
“Being at a faith-based
