A jovial July tradition
Malibu gathers for
18th annual Point
Dume Fourth of July
parade and picnic
Barbara Burke
Freelance Reporter
From wee wanes in red,
white and blue diapers to
102-year-young Bill Armstrong
cruising in his 1918
Pierce-Arrow Touring car,
Malibuites celebrated the
nation’s birthday at the
18th annual Point Dume
Fourth of July parade and
picnic.
Young and old patriots
came in style, gathering
gleefully at Birdview Avenue
and Bluewater Road on
July 4. There were ornately
decorated golf carts, dirt
bikes, skateboards, scooters,
bicycles and tricycles.
If it could move, they decorated
it and drove it in the
parade.
Even furry family members
joined the fun, with
one poodle sporting fur that
was dyed red, white and
blue for the occasion.
Gleeful giggles and
neighborly chatting filled
the air as drivers and occupants
made last-minute
adjustments to the glitter,
glue, poster board, balloons,
and other accoutrement
that adorned their respective
vehicles.
“We saw the parade last
year and are driving in it
for the first time ever,” said
John Kriegee.
Kriegee and Nanci Van
Slyke, of Malibu, hosted
Van Slyke’s nieces who
were visiting from Alabama.
“It is great seeing all the
people decorate the cars,”
Festive vehicles make their way toward Point Dume
Marine Science School, where the picnic portion of the
annual Fourth of July festivities took place.

Tricia Wilcox.
Van Slyke’s niece Alexia
Van Slyke said. “The
weather is way better here
than in Alabama.”
As people lined up to
start the parade, many
stopped to chat with Armstrong,
who smiled warmly
as he greeted neighbors and
well-wishers and talked
about the old days.

From July 10
Man’s body found on Malibu’s Broad Beach
Lauren Coughlin, Editor
The body of an adult
male reportedly was found
at Broad Beach in Malibu at
6:23 a.m. Monday, July 10.
Sgt. Brad Johnson, of the
Malibu/Lost Hills Sheriff’s
Station, said the body was
spotted by a passerby who
called police.
According to Malibu/
Lost Hills Sgt. D. Gonzalez,
the individual has been
identified as an adult male
who is believed to be approximately
50 years old.
Gonzalez said that Los
Angeles County homicide
detectives as well as the LA
County coroner were on
scene at Broad Beach as of
1 p.m. on July 10.
The incident has not officially
been ruled as a homicide,
Gonzalez said.
“They don’t know anything
yet, so homicide is
automatically notified,” he
explained.
No further details were
available as of the Malibu
Surfside News’ press time.

his military regalia, paused
to chat with Armstrong
as younger residents paid
honor to both elders.
“I’ve driven my Pierce-
Arrow Touring Car in the
parade for 15 years,” Armstrong
said. “All the parts
started today – both my
car and my old body. I’ve
lived in Malibu since 1950,
back in the day when we
had horses here. This is a
great way to celebrate the
Fourth.”
Armstrong’s son Alan
agreed.
“We’re ready. We’re into
it. Let’s go,” he said, revving
up the historic automobile.
Malibu’s Wailani
O’Herlihy, a local Realtor
known affectionately in
town as “Miss Hospitality,”
smiled from the back seat
of the Touring car, waving
a flag and joking with Armstrong.
“Happy Fourth! Now
where’s a fifth?” Armstrong
asked, laughing.
“That’s how you’ve gotten
to be 102 years old!”
O’Herlihy said.
Malibuites Lydia Stiegler
and Pamela Ulrich finished
up running a pre-parade 5K
in honor of all moms, loved
ones and friends who have
passed away, with Stiegler
honoring her mother, Vera
Rink, and Ulrich running in
honor of Hayden Gallagher
and Andrew Moody.
Doing that, like having
the parade and picnic, was
a celebration of all that
is good in America: the
freedom to live, enjoy and
thrive.
Residents in the neighborhood
lined the streets,
waving as the parade rode
by, and offering water for
dogs. There was also the
perennial favorite, the bubble
machine, an attraction
that sent toddlers running
as they tried in vain to catch
the elusive, effervescent ellipses.
“Happy Fourth to you!”
they sang out, waving an
assortment of American
flags flurrying in the breeze.
The parade slowly passed
Point Dume, with the calm
of the Pacific off in the distance.
The entourage slowly
made its way to Point
Dume Marine and Science
School where a grand, traditional
picnic launched
into full swing.
There were hot dogs,
chips, hamburgers, and, of
course, ice cream.
The littlest ones played
in the “mini patriot’s play
area,” grinning from ear
to ear amongst the bales
of hay. The potato sack
race was a huge hit and attendees
managed to make
it to the finish line, for the
most part. Tug of war was
another favorite and featured

of brawn, strategy and skill
that culminated in many
sprawling on the lawn,
laughing hysterically when
their efforts to stay in line
and work in tandem ultimately
failed.
“It’s a wonderful day!”
Rodrigo Quirarte said as he
watched all the festivities.
“This is a new experience
for us and I’m so glad to be
here.”
This year’s parade and
picnic was a huge hit.
“I love Point Dume,”
said organizer Doug Randall.
“This is the biggest
parade and picnic we’ve
ever had.”
A barefoot Bruce Carothers,
of the Carothers Band,
belted out songs as attendees
sought shade under the
trees.
“It was our first time
being a part of the Point
Dume parade and we have
had a blast,” Carothers said.
“It’s days and events like
this that make me proud to
be an American. We were
brought into the event by
Doug DeLuca, founder of
the Malibu Guitar Festival.
We were on the Guitar Festival
bill this year and we
hope to see everyone next
year.”
The crowd mingled and
enjoyed, filled with patriotism
and levity.
Soon, it was time to disperse.
The fireworks were
only hours away.
“God bless America,”
someone called out in joy.
“This is the best Fourth
of July ever,” Cullen
Thompson, of Malibu, declared.

Unusual sea creature reportedly found in Malibu
Many join debate
of strange marine
animal’s identity
Suzanne Guldimann
Freelance Reporter
What appears to be a
dead sea hare, a species of
marine gastropod, caused a
stir on the internet after the
beachgoer who found the
remains of the animal at
Leo Carrillo Beach posted
photos of it to the social
media site Reddit.
The photo of the creature
can be viewed at imgur.
com/P6TJaw4.
It’s not the first time
a Malibu sea creature
has generated headlines.
In 2010 a 10-foot-long
sea serpent-like oar fish
turned up at Malibu Colony.
A 40-foot-long dead
fin whale made headlines
in 2012 when it washed
ashore at Point Dume, and
in the 1950s, the remains
of a giant squid were reportedly
fished out of the
water off Paradise Cove.
This time, tabloids from
as far away as Britain, India
and Russia described
the find as “bizarre,” “baffling”
and “shocking,” despite
the fact that another
Reddit user swiftly identified
the dead marine organism
as something much
less exotic than a sea monster.
Reddit community member
pacifickestrel responded
to creature finder xxviiparadise’s
request for an
ID in the “whatisthisthing”
group on Reddit.
“I believe this is a dead
sea hare,” pacifickestrel
wrote. “As a marine biologist,
I’ve seen plenty.
They start to look all sorts
of weird the longer they’ve
been dead, but that big
muscular foot running
along the side there is pretty
characteristic.”
Mike Schaadt, the director
of the Cabrillo Marine
Aquarium, did not see the
internet sensation but confirmed
that a decomposing
sea hare seemed a reasonable
conclusion.
“Sea hares can start to
look really strange after
they die,” Schaadt told the
Malibu Surfside News.
He explained that the
decomposition process can
transform almost any sizable
marine organism into
something that appears bizarre
and baffling at first
glance.
Schaadt has seen his
share of strange finds.
“We had a thornback ray
recently,” he said. “But it
had decomposed so much
it was hard to tell what it
was.”
Schaadt explained that
sea hares are gastropods
not unlike like garden
snails. However, their shell
is small and entirely internal.
The large foot that is
the “pod” part of the word
“gastropod” consists of
dense muscle tissue that
decays at a slower rate
than the sea hare’s softer
organs.
There are two common
local species of sea hare in
the Malibu area: the California
brown sea hare and
the black sea hare.
Judging from the Reddit
poster’s description of
the size and weight of the
creature found at Leo Carrillo
— six inches across
and around seven pounds,
odds are good that it could
be a black sea hare.
“The black sea hare gets
a lot bigger,” Schaadt said.
Brown sea hares (Aplysia
California) can grow
to be 16 inches long from
nose to tail and weigh up
to five pounds. The black
sea hare, Aplysia vaccaria,
is actually the world’s largest
known gastropod, making
it a true sea monster in
a modest way. It can grow
to be more than three-feet
long and weigh as much as
30 pounds.
Schaadt explained that
both species get their name
from their protruding rhinophores
— scent organs
that resemble the ears of a
rabbit.
Sea hares, like their land
snail cousins, are vegetarians
that use a rasp-like
tongue, called a radula,
to eat seaweed and other
algae. That diet makes
adults inedible to many
ocean predators. The black
sea hare relies on its disagreeable
taste and smell
to deter predators, but the
smaller brown sea hare can
squirt out an acrid purple
dye to discourage anything
willing to take a bite.
Despite being unpalatable,
the attrition rate for
sea hares is high.
“Each can produce hundreds
of thousands of
eggs,” Schaadt said. “But
only one or two will survive
to become reproductive
adults. The larvae
are planktonic, they don’t
settle down right away,
and most get eaten by other
species. Otherwise we
would be chin-deep in sea
hares.”
The Reddit user who
posted the mystery photo
was fortunate to receive
a response from someone
with a marine biology
Editor’s note
Due to the graphic nature of the photo, the Surfside
has chosen not to run the image of the deceased
animal in question. The image may be viewed at
imgur.com/P6TJaw4.
Found something fishy?

background, but Schaadt
explained there is an easier
and more direct way to get
an ID on marine organism.
“We have a form on our
website where you can
ask a biologist directly,”
Schaadt said. “What you
need is a trusted local
source for information. We
have that here.”
The Cabrillo aquarium
features a wide range of
native marine life on exhibit.
Classes and nature
walks offer an interactive
look at the beach and the
intertidal zone. Guided tide
pool walks will resume in
the fall when the year’s
lowest daytime tides occur.
Schaadt said the story of
NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING
CITY OF MALIBU
PLANNING COMMISSION
the Leo Carrillo mystery
creature is a great opportunity
to remind beachgoers
to use care while exploring
tide pools. He explained
that taking a photo from
a safe distance is a better
option than handling tide
pool life and added that
many species are fragile
and won’t survive being
moved or removed.
“It’s possible to love tide
pools to death,” he said.
The Cabrillo Aquarium’s
marine biology team is happy

SMMUSD Board of Education
District sets goals, financial expectations for year ahead
Eric Billingsley
Freelance Reporter
The Santa Monica-Malibu
Unified School District
Board of Education
unanimously approved the
General Fund Budget and
District Local Control Accountability
Plan for 2017-
18 at its regular meeting
Thursday, June 29.
“We are continuing
to work with the School
Board to address our ongoing
deficit spending patterns
through review of
budgets at each school site
and district office,” said
SMMUSD Superintendent
Ben Drati in a comment to
the Malibu Surfside News.
“My first six months here
has included understanding
our budget and solidifying
our goals and highest priorities,”
he added. “Now,
we’re moving forward
in the 2017-18 school year
to identify areas to reduce
expenditures as we’re unable
to sustain ongoing deficit
spending and need to
focus on funding programs
that meet our goals.”
Total General Fund revenues
for SMMUSD in
2017-2018 are expected
to be $153.2 million, a
1.5-percent increase from
$151 million in 2016-2017.
Total fund expenditures are
expected to be $153.9 million,
a 4.5-percent decrease
from $161.1 million in the
prior year.
The approved budget
seeks to decrease its deficit
from $10.1 million in
2016-2017 to $699,980 this
year. The budget, however,
does not yet reflect all district
expenses. It’s unclear
how much the district will,
in fact, be able to reduce its
deficit.
A few areas of cost cutting
reflected in the approved
general fund include:
a $2.5 million (33
percent) decrease in spending
for books and supplies;
$2.5 million (14.5 percent)
decrease in services and
other operating expenditures;
and $807,762 (49.3
percent) decrease in capital
outlay expenses.
Employee benefits, including
State Teachers’ Retirement
System and Public
Employee Retirement
System have increased and
are projected to continue
to increase over the next
several years, according to
Gail Pinsker, Community
& Public Relations Officer
for SMMUSD.
“This is very impactful
to the district’s budget,”
she said.
SMMUSD is expected to
receive a $2 million donation
from the Santa Monica-Malibu
Education Foundation,
a projected $12
million in parcel taxes from
Santa Monica and Malibu
residents, more than $25
million from the City of
Santa Monica and two sales
tax measures, and $5 million
for use of its facilities.
Board Member Oscar de
la Torre spoke about the
need to allocate more funding
in the future for parent
engagement and training.
“I just want us to look
at how we’re engaging
especially Latino and African
American parents,”
he said, adding one of the
district’s stated goals is improving
academic achievement
for English Language
Learners. It’s important to
consider how parents are
trained to lead the English
Learner Advisory Committees,
he said.
During public comment,
Janis Gabbert, chairwoman
of the Visual and Performing
Arts District Advisory
Committee, thanked the
board for responding to the
need for elementary school
art and theater classes by
funding the P.S. ARTS visual
and performing arts
program.
However, she said enthusiasm
for the program at the
elementary school level has
created an increased demand
for more arts instruction
at middle schools.
“We want to call your attention
to the value of maintaining
continuity of arts
instruction from elementary
through high school
and hope you will reinstate
the curriculum where sixthgraders
at JAMS, Lincoln,
SMASH and Malibu all enjoy
equity in the arts classes
during the school day
by credentialed teachers,”
Gabbert said.
The board also discussed
the LCAP, which identifies
goals and measures progress
for student subgroups
across eight state priority
areas.
Districts must include actions,
services and expenditures
that are used to support
students district-wide,
as well as additional actions
and services for lowincome
students, English
learners and foster youth.
LCAP goals this year include
assuring all graduates
are ready for college and
careers; English learners
will become proficient in
English while engaging in a
rigorous, standards-aligned
curriculum; and all students
will engage in schools that
are safe, well-maintained
and family-friendly.
The areas of greatest
need are decreasing suspension
rates in student
subgroups including those
who are socioeconomically

Onlookers in high spirits as Malibu school building gets demolished
New 12-classroom
structure expected
to open in either
2018 or 2019
Barbara Burke
Freelance Reporter
Spectators gathered
Wednesday, July 5, to
watch the demolition of
Malibu Middle School
Building E.
“My classroom just disappeared,”
said Brigette
Leonard, who has taught
sixth grade at Malibu Middle
School for 17 years as she
watched a large trackhoe
take down the building to
make way for a replacement.
For Leonard, the demolition
was a reminder and an
affirmation that Building E’s
polychlorinated biphenyls
were no longer a concern.
“I cannot put into words
all the emotions I’m going
through right now as that
classroom has been my
home for so many years,”
Leonard said. “But, it has
been a major problem for
me, parents, other teachers
and students as well. I was
one of the teachers with
thyroid cancer. It is nice to
see the district’s admission
of guilt about that as evidenced
by this demolition
today.”
It takes a remarkably
short amount of time to
demolish a structure. The
large-mouthed trackhoe cut
into the one-story building
incisively. Parts of
the building creaked and
swayed. The sounds of
metal being crunched permeated
the air.
A small crowd of onlookers
gasped as huge portions
of the roof and walls were
efficiently captured by the
trackhoe and deposited into
a large refuse container.
“It only takes one day to

A trackhoe breaks down the structure that was Malibu
Middle School’s Building E on Wednesday, July 5. The
building, which was determined to have polychlorinated
biphenyls (PCBs), will be replaced by a structure made of
shipping containers.
knock it down, but it took
about one month to conduct
abatement of asbestos
and PCBs. Those are all
gone now,” said Dominic
Citro, safety officer on the
project.
Carey Upton, director of
maintenance, operations,
transportation and facilities
departments, said construction
is on schedule.
“As part of the original
project, we were going to
renovate and modernize
the building,” Upton explained.
“However, as we
calculated PCB and other
remediation costs, with
the consultation of parents
and others on an advisory
committee, we decided to
destroy the structure and
construct a modular system
made out of shipping containers.
“The new structure will be
two stories and will include
12 classrooms,” he continued.
“Our goal is to have this
building ready for the Fall
of 2018 or January of 2019,
depending on construction.
The new building will be
more modern and will match
the other buildings and will
be more green.”
Caren Leib, chairwoman
of the Financial Advisory
Committee that recommended
the demolition of
the building, was on hand
to witness the event.
“I’m overcome with joy,”
Leib said. “Miracles do
happen. They were going
to paint the windows, doors
and floors, but the committee
recommended that
they demolish the building.
We conducted a study and
proved that it was possible
to use shipping containers
which are very green and to
replace the building.”
The demolition of the old
building and replacement
with the new structure is
funded by $77 million in
taxpayer-approved bond
money.
The process of the old
giving way to the new often
can be difficult and challenging.
However, as all
attendees witnessed the demolition,
to a person, they
agreed that it was good for
Malibu’s children.
“I went to this school in
middle school,” Leonard
said. “I still teach here. This
is a very happy day.”

Two stranded in Malibu helped to safety
Lauren Coughlin, Editor
Local officials rescued
two stranded men several
hours apart on July 3, in
Malibu.
David Katz, operations
leader for Malibu Search
and Rescue, said the team
received a call Monday
morning that a man was
stranded on a cliff behind
Rosenthal Wine Bar & Patio
in the 18700 block of
PCH, screaming for help.
“One of our team members,
with the assistance of
the [Los Angeles County]
fire copter, was able to locate
the individual,” Katz
said.
Rescuers were able to
hike to the individual, who
was uninjured.
But rescuers would soon
return to the area.
“Several hours later, our
station got a 911 call from
someone claiming to be
stuck up on the hill near
that area for two days,”
Katz said.
Before officials could
confirm exact details, the
man’s phone disconnected,
and officials were unable to
call him back. They went
back to the location, sandwiched
by Tuna Canyon
Road and South Topanga
Canyon Boulevard, and a
second search effort began.
Officials in Los Angeles
County Fire Helicopter 16
spotted the man around
3:44 p.m., said Fire Inspector
Richard Licon.
Due to his location and
the surrounding terrain
and what Katz described
as “severe heat,” officials
opted to hoist the individual.
The uninjured man
was rescued around 4:10
p.m. and transported to a
landing zone at Topanga
Beach.

Proposed
ORDINANCE
Planning Commission Public Hearing
JULY 17, 6:30 PM
It’s been a wild six
months and six days for the
Los Angeles County Sheriff’s
Department’s Malibu
Search and Rescue team.
As of Thursday, July 6,
Malibu Search and Rescue
Operations Leader David
Katz said that the Malibu
SAR team — which is made
up of reserve sheriff’s deputies
and unpaid civilian volunteers
— had received 92
service calls in 2017. That’s
a high volume when compared
to last year’s grand
total of 105 calls.
“We don’t expect that the
call volume will remain as
high, but ... it’s a record for
us,” Katz said.
Katz said the team is always

City cuts ribbon on three
new Metro bus shelters
Shelters replace
benches at three
high-volume stops
Submitted by the City of
Malibu
The City of Malibu held
a public ribbon-cutting
ceremony June 28 to mark
the completion of three
new bus shelters as part
of a pilot program to make
existing Metro bus stops
in Malibu safer and more
user-friendly for public
transit users.
“Many residents, students,
visitors, local businesses
and their employees
and customers depend on
our Metro bus service to
get in and out of Malibu
every day,” Mayor Pro
Tem Rick Mullen said.
“These new bus shelters
will make the experience
of using public transit
more comfortable.”
New bus shelters were
built on Cross Creek Road
in the Civic Center area,
on Pacific Coast Highway
at Heathercliff Road in
the Point Dume area, and
on Trancas Canyon Road
at PCH in western Malibu,
replacing the existing
bench-only bus stops at
the City’s three highestvolume
transit stops. The
new bus shelters increase
the visibility of the transit
system and transit riders,
provide transit riders
protection from the elements
and serve as a pilot
program for possible improvements
to the rest of
the Metro transit stops in
Malibu.
“Metro applauds Malibu’s
efforts to improve
various Metro bus stops in
their city with the addition
of these three new bus shelters
that will absolutely enhance
the rider experience
in their community,” Metro
Board Chair John Fasana
said. “These added amenities
complement Metro
service and will encourage
more and more residents
and visitors to use public
transit and avoid summertime
congestion.”
The new shelters are
also part of a broader, ongoing
effort to improve the
public transit infrastructure
in Malibu.
In 2015, the City updated
and improved 11 Metro
bus stops on PCH in Malibu,
bringing them up to

Pepperdine’s Benton offers
talents to national college board
Submitted by Pepperdine
University
Pepperdine University
President and CEO Andrew
K. Benton, J.D., has been
elected to a 19-month term
as chair of the board of directors
of the National Association
of Independent
Colleges and Universities.
Benton, who was NAI-
CU board vice chair, replaces
Christopher B. Nelson,
president of St. John’s
College, who retired on
June 21. The NAICU board
voted on the transition during
their regular spring
meeting. Benton will complete
the seven months remaining
in Nelson’s oneyear
term before starting
his own one-year term.
NAICU board members
set the association’s agenda
on federal higher education
policy; actively encourage
support of association priorities
and initiatives; and
oversee the organization’s
financial administration.
“NAICU is most fortunate
that Pepperdine University
President Andrew
Benton has been elected as
the next chair of our board
of directors,” said NAICU
President David L. Warren,
Ph.D. “Andy brings 17
years of presidential leadership
experience to the NAI-
CU Board chairmanship,
including a term as chair
of our Accountability Committee.
His knowledge of
private higher education is
unparalleled, and will be of
great assistance to the Association.
As new opportunities
and challenges arise
over the next 18 months,
the Association will be well
positioned for success with
Pepperdine University President and CEO Andrew K.
Benton is pictured. Ron Hall/Pepperdine University
our new leadership team.”
“This seems to be an especially
important time for
all institutions of higher
learning to work closely together
and, perhaps, especially
those in the independent
sector,” Benton said.
“Our work is noble, aimed
at the very future of this nation.
I am grateful for this
opportunity to serve and
I simply cannot imagine
finer colleagues with whom
to do so.”
Benton has served Pepperdine
University for
more than 30 years. His
Pepperdine career started
in 1984 when he joined
the Malibu-based university
to oversee land-use
opportunities. Benton went
on to work as the chief of
staff for his friend and the
university’s sixth president
David Davenport. In 1991,
he was appointed executive
vice president and chief operational
officer of the university.
In 2000, the Pepperdine
Board of Regents named
Benton the university’s seventh
president and chief executive
officer. The university
is rated in the top tier of
“best national universities”
as reported by U.S. News &
World Report, was named
one of the trendiest colleges
in the country by the
Huffington Post, and was
cited by Princeton Review
as the nation’s “most beautiful
campus.”
Benton teaches classes
at the university on a regular
basis and is highly
engaged with student life
on campus. His rock-androll
band, The Mesa Peak
Band, has played at numerous
events on the campus,
including an annual concert
held at the end of the
school’s New Student Orientation
week in Benton’s
backyard, which functions
as an informal first introduction
for new students
to Pepperdine’s easygoing
president.
A native of Lawrence,
Kansas, Benton earned a
J.D. from Oklahoma City
University’s School of Law
and a B.S. in American
Studies from Oklahoma
Christian University. For
10 years he worked with
Oklahoma Christian prior
to his move to Pepperdine
University. In addition to
his work at Pepperdine,
he is a member of numerous
associations, including
the American Council on
Education, the Association
of Independent California
Colleges and Universities,
the Association of Presidents
of Independent Colleges
and Universities and
the American Bar Association.
He has written numerous
essays concerning the
state of higher education in
the United States that have
appeared in the Huffington
Post and elsewhere.

Getting fleas to flee — the natural way

If you are having a
severe flea problem
indoors, you must first
do a thorough cleanup of
the immediate area(s).
First, find out how they
are entering your home. Be
sure to check the immediate
area around the home,
including the front and side
doors. The best way to find
out is to follow the animals
you have around and see
Register online | www.malibupres.org
how they are picking up
the fleas.
By removing any spaces
that can house the adult
fleas, you are reducing any
eggs which can hatch later.
The key thing to do here is
to use dry steam, then thoroughly
vacuum any rugs;
send them to the cleaners if
you can’t do this, or have a
company come and steam
clean them. Make sure that
you destroy (i.e. throw
away inside a plastic bag)
the vacuum bag, which
should be full of fleas and
their eggs. Vacuum/steam
several times per week to
ensure that you get all eggs
and any adults.
Use the Ultimate Flea
Trap to catch them. This
also tells you if you still
have fleas inside.
If you have a dog, bathe
them in Dr. Bronner’s
peppermint soap, or use
a flea comb (check out
Flea Zapper) on cats/dogs.
Bathing your pet once per
week with a natural pet
shampoo will do wonders
in controlling any fleas or
ticks. Read the ingredients
to make sure that it is 100
percent organic. Any good
natural pet shampoo will
do, but some have essential
oils as an ingredient. Just
test the pet with a small
amount to make sure it is
not allergic to it.
A good flea comb will
help control fleas and ticks
on your dog and cat. Dip
the flea comb into alcohol
between uses. When using
the alcohol, make sure you
clean the comb before you
use it on the pet. Just dip
the comb into the alcohol
to kill the fleas, then
wipe before using again.
Or do like I do, and get
Natural Pyrethrum Powder
(Google it), sprinkle a
little bit on your hand
and then comb it up with
the flea comb. This will
kill the fleas on contact.
Use this method once or
twice a week. The natural
pyrethrum will not affect
the animals. Spray inside
the house with any of the
natural spraying mixtures
I cover later. Get the Flea
Zapper, a battery-operated
device that actually works
and zaps the fleas!
You can spray the inside
areas of your home with
soap, essential oil mixture
or Flea Bully.
Try one drop citronella
oil or one drop lavender oil
or one drop tea tree oil or
cedar oil mixed with five
drops of any natural soap,
like lavender soap, per a
gallon of water. Mist areas

Natural flea control basics
• Remember that healthy soil reduces flea and tick
populations.
• Control water, as fleas and ticks need water
sources
• Control rodent and other animal vectors
• Use Garden DE under buildings and around the
outside of the house.
• Use Food Grade DE inside on pets and rugs. Be
careful around their eyes. Avoid using on their heads.
Use the flea comb instead. Just dust lightly, then
comb or use the Flea Zapper.
• Use beneficial nematodes to control the soil.
• Use natural castile soap like Dr. Bronner’s or
Queen of the Meadow
you do not want them on
like rugs, pet areas, other
areas around house, etc.
then vacuum. This will
provide you with some
immediate help. Test spray
on rugs and furniture first
before using. Essential oils
are not really oils, so it will
not be oily. Make sure you
start with minimal amounts
like one drop per gallon.
Try Flea Bully, which is
made from essential oils.
I would use a very diluted
version the first time to
make sure your pets do not
react to it. Use the ultimate
flea trap in every room and
change regularly.
Be aware that cats will
smell this too, so keep
them out of the area while
you are spraying and allow
rugs to air out and be vacuumed
before letting them
into the room. It’s best not
to use if you have small,
sick or senior pets.
Try using Dry Heat to
kill off any fleas or ticks
you may have in the home.
This will be hot enough
even to kill bed bugs but
will leave the rug etc. dry.
Then vacuum up afterward.
Spray outdoor with any
natural soap or Flea Bully.
Use the same formula to
spray the grounds and
the area around it. Spray
around the outside of the
house and along any places
that you see them. Just
make sure the pets are not
in the same area, so they
do not get on them.
Spray beneficial nematodes
outside.
There are many beneficial
nematode products
available that when applied
to the soil will control all
flea larvae as well as many
other types of pests, grubs,
etc. that have part of their
life cycle on the ground.
After you have sprayed
the inside and around the
outside of the house, you
then can close off any
entrances that the fleas
can use to get inside (fix
any screen doors, screen
windows, etc.). Learn to
keep the door closed during
summer or primary flea
months.
Also be sure to clean up
around the outside of the
house and garden.

Malibu’s art community continues to wow
Lauren Coughlin
lauren@malibusurfsidenews.com
Art is all around us,
literally.
So often, the
ocean inspires Malibu’s
myriad artists, who strive
to capture its brilliance,
significance and beauty.
Other times, the beach
acts as the setting for
impromptu art, as you can
see in this week’s Photo
Op (Page 13).
And in even more rare
instances, like in our
story on Page 7, the ocean
produces a most peculiar
creature that, while not
technically art, is also
open to be interpreted by
its many viewers. Is it an
organ, a sea hare, a monster?
We can’t be certain,
but it surely is an interesting
sight to see.

Spirited musical performance sets scene for the Fourth
Cure Spa to host
musicians on
summer Saturdays
Suzy Demeter
Freelance Reporter
On July 4, Cure Spa
brought out the dynamic
R&B sounds of singersongwriter,
producer and
arranger James Whitney.
Guests mingled and
danced to classic tunes
from the likes of Otis Redding
and Stevie Wonder on
the second-story patio with
its inviting, stunning ocean
views. Whitney sang with
musicians Gemi Taylor on
guitar, Brandon Ragan of
the Brandon Ragan Project
on saxophone, Trevor
Lindsay on bass, Aya Iwata
on keyboard and Lester
Crawford on drums.
Whitney, born and raised
in Oregon, came onto the
music scene at the age of
12 when he worked in the
college circuit area of the
University of Oregon. He
furthered his career with
The Monterays singing
group and worked with
Sonny and Cher amongst
other artists.
Whitney continued his
career opening for Tower
of Power and Santana. In
the next week or so, Rolling
Stone Magazine is expected
to feature an article
about how Whitney wrote
three songs which were recorded
by Michael Jackson
but never released.
Whitney’s recent Malibu
performance was hosted by
Cure Spa’s Dr. Lisa Benya
and Michael McCauley.
“We wanted to create
a place where people can
come to for the weekends,”
Benya said.
The spa location presents
an environment and opportunity
where clients can receive
the benefits of health,
holistic and beauty services
while enjoying the uplifting
music.
Deborah Whitney, wife
of James Whitney, runs
Pure Recovery California
and coordinates with
the Cure Spa treatments
program. Pure Recovery
California is the “first neuroscience
driven recovery
for concussion and addiction
program that works
with professional and retired
athletes from contact
sports,” Deborah said.
The musical events
are expected to continue
through the summer on Saturdays,
with Los Angeles
and Malibu musicians performing
in the afternoon.

and Indo to Uluwatu.
The collaboration embraces
and celebrates surfing
culture and its subcultures
from 1960’s old
school surfing to emerging
surfers charging the largest
pipelines with their innovative
take on the sport
and culture of surfing.
“I am stoked to be a
part of such an interesting
group of artists and it
is fun to participate in my
band as a live performer
playing the soundtrack for
‘Forbidden Trim,’ as well
as showing my film, ‘Forbidden
Trim’ on 35 mm
film,” director and musician
George Trimm said.
“The movie is basically
about an Army man that
goes on a surf adventure
deep in the forbidden jungle
in order to eliminate a
criminal syndicate.”
The exhibition not only
focuses on visual and film
arts, but also offers the
community many other experiences.
“We’ve got a fun summer
of art, film screenings,
and conversations ahead,
culminating with William
Finnegan, author of the
2016 Pulitzer Prize winning
memoir, “Barbarian
Days: A Surfing Life,” in
conversation with me and
Barry McGee in September,”

can come together around
art for crucial conversations
about our world. It
will take all of us telling
all our stories to continue
to protect the coast in these
challenging times.”
At a press conference
welcoming the innovative,
intriguing exhibition
on Friday, July 7, Malibu
Mayor Skylar Peak noted
“If you just look across
the PCH, you see Surfrider
Beach. Malibu is full of
people who are ingrained
in the surfing culture and it
is very important as Malibu
evolves to tell that story.
This community thrives
around a culture celebrating
the arts.”
Opening night for the
exhibition on July 8 was
fantastically frenetic. An
enormous crowd was alive
with the energy the installations
evoked. Viewers
oohed and ahhed at every
turn they took in the exhibition
space and enjoyed
the outdoor dancing area
and bands.
“I’m loving this exhibit,”
Robin Tunney said.
“It’s very well-curated. It’s
perfect. Malibu needs this
kind of art exhibit.”
Surfer and musician
Kev Vanderzel admired
an eclectic array of works
and leaned in to appreciate
details and nuances of each
rendition’s take on surfing.
The acrylic on wood panel
pieces by Margaret Kilgallen
captured his attention.
“This exhibit shows how
you can push the limits on
what conventional art materials
are,” he said. “It reflects
both the strangeness
and wonder of traditional
and alternative surf cultures.”
One of the most striking
installations is a street art
work by Jeff Ho, legendary
creator of surfboards and
skateboard dating back to
the 1960s.
“I built surfboards for
Dogtown and Zephyr
skateboard teams,” Ho
said. “So, throughout my
entire life I have been doing
some form of art regarding
surfing.”
Ho’s enormous tagging
installation — striking in
its black and white contrasts
— welcomes exhibition
visitors and gives each
a moment to pause and
reflect on the fact that the
oceans, the surf, and the
coasts belong to everyone.
“This installation here is
about all cultures, how it is
natural for people to have a
‘locals only’ attitude,” Ho
said.

Malibu High alumna embarks on photographic journey
Loomis seeks
donations to back
her graduate
project, ‘Tailings’
Lauren Coughlin, Editor
They say a
photo is worth
a thousand
words.
So, while
all of Malibu
High alumna Loomis
Cebe Loomis’
classmates at
the University of California,
Santa Cruz elected to
turn to film for their graduate
projects, Loomis stuck
to analogue photography
— her favored form of art
— when seeking to document
the unique story of
Virginia City, Nevada.
Loomis, a 2009 graduate
of MHS and a 2013
graduate of Vassar College,
expects to receive her master’s
degree in social documentation
in June 2018. But
first, she has some work to
do — and she’s looking for
monetary support from the
broader community to ensure
her graduate project
can be completed.
The 25-year-old’s photography
project, titled
“Tailings,” can be supported
at igg.me/at/cebe
loomis. Loomis is seeking
$8,500 by Aug. 1 to cover
film cost and development,
fieldwork transportation,
fieldwork living costs, and
publication and distribution
costs for the finished product:
a multi-media photography
book. As of Sunday,
July 9, the project had been
backed by 42 individuals
for a grand total of $5,905.
Of the support Loomis
has received thus far, she
said “it feels great, it feels
really wonderful.”
“I’ve never done this before,”
she added. “I’m also
a very humble person so
asking for money straight
out like this has definitely
been a challenge.”
Loomis arrived in Nevada
three weeks ago and
has begun to shoot photos,
record audio, write and
piece together the project.
“Having these ambitious
goals of self-publishing a
book and going off for the
summer and not really being
able to have a job ... it’s a bit
scary definitely, but I think
that many other creative individuals
can identify with
that,” Loomis shared.
What makes Loomis’
work stand out is her use
of analogue photography, a
format which she has been
enthralled with since she
was a teenager.
Her camera, a medium
format Hasselblad camera
from the 1940s, originally
belonged to her father, who
is a fine arts photographer.
“He introduced me to
film photographer when I
was pretty young, around
14 or 15,” Loomis recalled.
Loomis’ passion for photography
continued to blossom
at Malibu High, where
she took her first photography
class as a sophomore.
And while Loomis has
also toyed with the more
traditional Nikon digital
cameras, the Hasselblad is
more her cup of tea.
“If you really take care
of these analogue cameras
they run beautifully
and they run for years and
years,” Loomis said.
Plus, the work that goes
into setting up a shot is quite
different, Loomis notes.
“That really allows me
more time to talk and relax
and converse with my subject
whereas a lot of time I
Pictured is a 2013 image Malibu High alumna Cebe Loomis captured in Virginia City, Nevada — which is now the
subject of her graduate project, entitled “Tailings.” Loomis’ more recent imagery of the city is not yet developed.
Photo Submitted
think digital photography
work can be very fast-pace
or rapid fire,” she said.
And just as Loomis takes
her time setting up each
shot, she also wants to take
the time to truly absorb the
spirit and lesser-known side
of Virginia City that remains
when the tourists go home.
“I think it’s very seen,
this town, but in a certain
light,” Loomis said. “[Residents
seem] excited to talk
about it in maybe a slightly
different way.”
The project website further
explains the focus of
her project.
“‘Tailings’ unpacks how
and why the 1850’s boomtown
of Virginia City continues
to live on today, as
well as questions the colonial
methods Virginia
City has employed in order
to survive,” the statement
reads. “Executed in a selfpublished
book, ‘Tailings’
explores the voices and histories
present in Virginia
City, as well as those that are
continually absent from the
dominant, colonial history.”
Loomis’ father hails from
Reno, Nevada, about 20
miles from Virginia City.
With much of Loomis’
childhood being spent in
the area, she said she always
knew she wanted to
photograph it someday.
“I’ve always really been
taken with the landscape in
Nevada and I also think Nevada
is kind of thought of as
a lost state,” Loomis said. “ ...
The architecture, the downtown
historic district — it’s
all very visually striking.”
While Loomis is not
seeking to make her book
political, she thinks most
art leads its audience down
that path in today’s climate.
“I think a lot of the political
rhetoric that is happening
right now centers
around what America used
to be,” she said.
“I think history affects
today, affects tomorrow, I
think history affects yesterday
and I’ve definitely seen
that in Virginia City,” she
added. “I’m here and I think
that what this project can
say or might say to people
is ‘let’s go back and see how
history affects people today.’
It’s a natural unfolding.”
Loomis anticipates that
the finished product will
be a three-chapter 50- to
60-page book examining
the “middle of nowhere”
town’s history, forgotten
history and why its current
residents have stayed
put. Loomis said the project’s
sound component
will likely be delivered via
downloadable clips, though
she’s also looking into the
possibility of including oldschool
discs which could be
played on a record player to
keep with the analogue format
she holds dear.
Loomis knows she has
not chosen an easy career
path, and though her broader
future remains a bit unclear,
she’s determined to make
the most of her talents.
“I do know that I want to
be doing this kind of work
my whole life,” she said.
After graduation, Loomis
hopes to exhibit her work
and travel with the exhibition.
And after that? Well,
it’s just going to take some
time to develop.

Shirts sporting the message
“Putting the ‘Bu’ in
Every Burger,” were plentiful
among the crowd of
Malibuites and visitors who
helped open Malibu Burger
Company, a new hip restaurant
in Malibu Village
on June 30.
The restaurant is the
collaborative brainchild
of producer and musician
Cisco Adler, who grew up
in Malibu, and designer
Matt Winter, also a Malibu
native, who has successfully
launched Gjusta in
Venice and Manuela in
downtown L.A.’s Hauser
Wirth & Schimmel arts
complex. Chef Aaron May,
well known for innovative
cuisine in Arizona, and
Benjamin Priest, an entrepreneur
with experience
in the restaurant industry,
are also part of the creative
team that envisioned this
family-friendly, fun epicurean
experience in Malibu.
“I was born and raised in
Malibu and I want to make
sure our town has something
that represents the
real Malibu with a place to
hang out and bring the family,”
Adler said. “All of the
places like this that were
here when I was a kid such
as the old Pizza Hut and the
Supercare where we would
go for snacks and to hang
out are gone.
“This is something for
our people here in Malibu
and for visitors to see so
they can take home the real
Malibu experience. We intend
this to be a new Malibu
institution for the next
40 or 50 years.”

Burgers are prepared at the new Malibu Burger
Company, which opened in Malibu Village at the end of
June. Barbara Burke/22nd Century Media
of the Santa Monica Mountains.
Burgers come traditionally
on a fresh-made
bun or in a bowl. Customers
can tailor-order their
meals, selecting either a
burger or bowl. They then
decide on a protein, with
choices including grass-fed
beef, free-range bison, Jidori
chicken breast, market
fresh fish or a vegan patty.
Finally, they can select
from a variety of cheese
choices and select sauces
to taste, including vegan
sauce options.
“We make our own
ketchup and MBC spread
which has homemade aioli
and special spices,” May
said. “We are here to serve
Malibu and are looking
forward to having Sunday
brunches and family-style
dinners in the future. We’re
delighted to be here in Malibu.”
Adler is adamant that
vegans and vegetarians
should know they can find
satiating options at Malibu
Burger Company.
“We want vegans and
vegetarians to sit at the table
as equals, not as vegan
or vegetarian prisoners at
an only carnivorous table,”
Adler said. “The best part
of the burger is what is special
for the customer that is
between the bun — not just
a piece of beef.”
The burgers were a hit
with satisfied customers.
“It’s better than In-N-
Out,” said 9-year-old Judah
Harvey, whose mom
describes him as quite the
hamburger aficionado. “It’s
one of the best burgers I’ve
ever had.”
Try the mushroom swiss
burger, made with wild
mushrooms, Swiss cheese,
MBC spread, green onions
and MBC Aioli ($14). Customers
can add Kennebec
hand-cut fries for $6, and
a tasty, flavorful vanilla
shake for $7.
The Burger Bowl ($14)
is a hearty dish complete
with sizzling meat, fresh
lettuce, tomato, sauces and
fresh avocado.
“The Burger Bowl is miraculous
because, now that
it’s bikini weather, I don’t
want a bun, and eating a
burger in a lettuce leaf cup
is too unmanageable,” Malibuite
John Zambettti said.
“So, this bowl is the perfect
answer. Plus, it’s great to
have a place that’s open so
I can get a chocolate shake
after the movie lets out.”
In addition to shakes, the
restaurant serves beer and
wine, as well as Blue Sky
and IBC sodas.
“We’re delighted to be
open and serving these
amazing people,” Adler
said. “Look at the little
smiling faces at the kids’
table. They’re adorable. It’s
the best. Come and enjoy
our food.”
“It’s the best burger in
Malibu with a brioche
bun,” said Jennie Cercone,
of Malibu.
Mom Alex Swepston
agreed.
“I’m so happy to have
a new place to come to in
Malibu that the kids and
adults can all enjoy,” she
said. “My kids are loving
their sliders, fries and
shakes.”

Creative juices flow at Vino and Van Gogh
Wine and paint
events held
at Spruzzo on
Thursdays in July
Suzy Demeter
Freelance Reporter
On Thursdays this June
and July, artistic talents
are being refined and unleashed
at Malibu’s Spruzzo
Restaurant through
Vino and Van Gogh classes
run by artist Alice M.
Howe.
The comfortable outdoor
patio setting of Spruzzo
Restaurant presents an
opportunity to order food
and wine while painting.
The theme for a June 29
Vino and Van Gogh session
was a “celebration
of modern art,” Howe described.
Howe helped participants
with basic techniques
as they mimicked
paintings from a variety of
famous artists, from David
Hockney to Pablo Picasso.
Vino and Van Gogh allows
creative freedom for
the participants.
“Some artists [who instruct]
are strict to one
painting,” Howe said.
“Here, we have a variety
of paintings. If [the participants]
want to explore,
I want to give them the
creativity and happiness to
succeed.”
Approximately 15 participants
sat at a long
table, creating colorful
backgrounds and subjects,
sipping wine and other
beverages, and enjoying a
variety of items from the
Spruzzo menu.
Arielle Verinis was enjoying
her second paint series.
Up until her previous
class, she had not painted
since elementary school.
Lonnie Galate, of Malibu Fitness, works on her painting during a June 29 session of
Vino and Van Gogh at Malibu’s Spruzzo Restaurant.
Vino and Van Gogh participants Amanda Papageorge (left) and Laureen Sills take a
break from painting to pose for the camera.
“It’s a really fun way
to spend a few hours on a
Thursday night,” Verinis
said. “It’s a relaxing way
to unwind a day.”
Vino and Van Gogh is
currently offered from 6
p.m. to 9 p.m. every Thursday
in July at Spruzzo
Restaurant, 29575 Pacific
Coast Highway, in Malibu.
The series may run into
August.
The class fee is $45, and
Spruzzo requires a minimum
food and wine charge
of $25.
Those who are interested
in participating are asked
to RSVP to Howe at alicemhowe@icloud.com

Ride of the Week
Mark Truman’s sinister Black Beauty
Fireball Tim Lawrence
Contributing Columnist
Malibu resident
Yes, another cool car
has miraculously
appeared on my
radar once again. Although
you’d never see this one in
a dealership, the nostalgic
memories of some of you
from the ’60s will be well
served.
For the last year, I’ve
conversed with my friend
Mark Truman about his
current build that has
lasted over 11 years. Why
11 years? Well, because
this is not the kind of build
that you rush. It requires
TV research, and close
inspection of details that
pop up over time.
What is the car? Green
Hornet’s Black Beauty.
Or what was originally a
1966 Chrysler Imperial
four-door Crown Hardtop.
Whoosh!
As a retired telecom
special services employee
with GTE/Verizon for 35
years, Mark finally has the
time to tinker, blinker and
build what he loves. His
brother, Nate, shares the
same passion for movie
cars, so Mark decided to
build the Black Beauty at
his home. But this build
needed major research.
He found a Chrysler that
was 20.3 feet long, 5480
Mark Truman poses with his car, which was built to be a replica of the Black Beauty from “The Green Hornet.” Fireball Tim Lawrence/22nd Century Media
pounds and with a 440w
Edelbrock 4Barrel Motor
that would be perfect. The
body and interior were
good, but would need to be
heavily modified to match
the TV series’ night cruiser
Black Beauty.
“I bought it in 2004,”
began Mark. “From a band
and drove it home from
Monterey, California. The
Black Beauty conversion
began in my driveway and
has lasted for an astounding
11 years.”
But why was this the car
for Mark? I’m glad you
asked.
“This is the type [of]
car used in the 1966 series
‘The Green Hornet,’” he
explained. “[The] original
build was by Dean Jeffries
in Hollywood, and there
were two cars created
for the show. Both have
survived and are in private
hands. So if I wanted one, I
had to build it myself.”
Mark and I got together
several times to shoot the
car for my Vlog Show, but
every time, the Beauty was
stubborn and temperamental.
But eventually, Mark
got her into Malibu and we
cruised from Point Mugu
Rock and had a blast. I
couldn’t believe I was
driving the Green Hornet’s
car donning a Kato mask.
Yes, I actually wore the
mask, although my fighting
skills weren’t really what
they used to be, so I just
smiled a lot instead.
Mark’s favorite part was
actually mine, too: the
overall length and sinister
look of the car. Anyone
around would look at it
and wonder if their safety
was at risk.
I say we build 100 of
these and send them to
drive in our enemies’
cities. Just their presence
would calm things down.
And if it didn’t, at least
they would think they’re
cool long enough to stop
causing trouble.
Mark uses the car
primarily for shows that
support youth and police
activities, so although the
car is black and sinister,
it’s got a good heart just
like Mark.
And finally, I asked
Mark for his best short
story with the car and
he gave it to me as we
wrapped driving.
“I have a high school
age grandson who really
enjoys when I pick him
up in the Beauty,” Mark
said. “All his friends think
he is really cool that his
grandfather has ‘that cool
car.’ When he was questioning
why he was going
to school, I reminded him
that I wouldn’t be able to
pick him up in front of his
friends if he left. I hope
that helped his decision to
stay.
“But I also really like
watching people spot the
car as I pass them. At first,
they look confused, then
break out into ‘10-yearold’
grins when they recognize
it. It’s just cool.”
And what about driving
in Malibu?
“Malibu is a unique
subculture in SoCal,” he
said. “It’s really amazing to
drive along the beach and
see a high-end car parked
alongside the road with a
surfboard strapped to it. It
is just the same when folks
come across my car stopped
alongside the road and try
to figure out what it is.”
And that was just what
they did the whole time
we drove for the show. I’d
like to offer a big thanks to
Mark and his passion for
the Beauty. It’s people like
him who make me do what
I do, and his giving nature
made our drive a solid
memory.

exhibit is not just about
boardism, but focuses on
other aspects of surfing.”
“Sea Sick in Paradise” is
exhibited in collaboration
with Surfrider Foundation,
Karma Automotive, The
Agency, Malibu Village,
Dean & DeLuca, and the
City of Malibu. The exhibit
serves as a catalyst for
artistic expressions regarding
surfing and its culture
as well as for launching
conversations about today’s
coastal narrative.
“Malibu is a unique land
and marine environment.
That is underscored in our
very name. Originally, the
Chumash called this place
Humaliwo, which means
‘where the surf sounds
loudly,’” said Catherine
Malcolm-Brickman, chairwoman
of the Malibu Cultural
Arts Commission.
“Surfers know the voice
of the sea and how she reminds
us, sometimes very
loudly, to be good stewards
of the land and water.
This exhibition examines
that relationship.”

Carmody keeps moving on up
Pepperdine men’s
volleyball alumnus
takes his game to
new heights
Steve Millar
Freelance Reporter
Volleyball is taking Tommy
Carmody around the
world.
Carmody, a Pepperdine
men’s volleyball alumnus,
finished his first professional
season in May, playing
for Valepa in Finland’s
Champions League.
In June, the 6-foot-9
middle blocker made Team
USA’s roster for the FIVB
World League.
“This has been part of
the plan since, pretty much,
as soon as I started playing
volleyball,” Carmody said.
“Once I realized I could potentially
play overseas as a
pro, it’s been of my major
goals.
“I’m getting to see a lot of
cool places that people always
talk about wanting to
see, and I’m getting to play
the game I love. It’s the ultimate
experience.”
Carmody was one of 22
players selected to train
with Team USA leading
up to the beginning of the
World League, a five-weeklong
tournament featuring
36 national teams.
He then made the final cut
of 18 players who traveled
to Serbia for the first round
of group play. Carmody was
in uniform for three matches,
though he didn’t see any
game action as Team USA
went 0-3.
“It was great,” Carmody
said. “Growing up through
volleyball, you always look
forward to and hope to put
on a USA jersey. Having
those three letters on your
chest is so special.”
Carmody hopes it was
just the start of his Team
USA experience.
“I’d love to get another
chance,” he said. “I know I
have to keep working hard
and keep improving because
there are a lot of great
players out there, but if I do,
I’ll hopefully keep getting
those opportunities.”
Carmody, a native of Orland
Park, Illinois, had a
highly successful but tumultuous
college career.
After three big seasons at
Pacific, including his junior
year when he was named
national Middle Blocker of
the Year, the school dropped
the volleyball program.
Carmody didn’t play in
2015 as he finished up his
engineering degree at Pacific.
He then enrolled at Pepperdine
for his final year
of eligibility, playing one
season as a graduate student
and again being named
Middle Blocker of the Year
in 2016.
“Pacific dropping the
program was really tough,”
he said. “It was heartbreaking,
because I loved playing
there and I loved the team
we had.
“It ended up being great,
though, to get to have a
whole different experience
at Pepperdine. It’s a beautiful
place and I loved playing
for the coaches there.”
Carmody signed with
Valepa and made his professional
debut in August.
The team went on to win the
Pepperdine University alumnus Tommy Carmody spikes
the ball during his time as a Wave.
Finnish Champions League
title and Carmody was
named to the “Star Seven”
as one of the Top 7 players
in the league.
The league championship
earned Valepa a spot in the
CVE Cup, a tournament for
top teams across Europe,
where they advanced to the
quarterfinals.
“That was a lot of fun,”
Carmody said. “We got to
play in Serbia, Denmark and
Italy. It’s been really cool to
play in all these different
countries and see what volleyball
is like there. Pretty
much everywhere we’ve
played in Europe, we get big
crowds that love the sport.”
Carmody went overseas
once for a volleyball tournament
while in high school,
but had otherwise not spent
any other time traveling internationally.
He’s relishing
the opportunity do so now.
“It’s exciting to see different
countries, different
cultures, meet different people,”
he said. “I’m glad I’ve
got the chance to do this.”
As of the end of June,

Carmody had yet to sign a
contract with a team for the
2017-18 season. He’s weighing
his options, but plans to
play somewhere in Europe.
“The Finnish League is a
good league, but there are
some better ones out there
in France, Poland and Italy,”
he said. “Those would be
nice to get into.
“Right now, I’m deciding
what the best next step is. I
just know that wherever I
go, I have to keep working
hard and getting better.”

So how did you first
get into swimming?
My dad decided that I
should know how to swim
since we are a water-oriented
family. After a while I
started to enjoy swimming
with a team and in races.
Why did you gravitate
toward the 500 and
1,650?
I swim all the races, but
my body type is more suited
for races that are middistance
to distance. I hope
to add the 200 to my best
events, though.
Who are your role
models?
One is Michael Phelps
since he always has been a
great swimmer and I have
always looked up to him
since I was very young.
The other one is my older
brother Logan Hotchkiss,
who swims at UCSB. He
always has encouraged me
and has helped me in swimming
and life in general.
What are your hobbies
outside of swimming?
I enjoy going to the beach
and surfing, bodysurfing
and bogey boarding. I also
like to mountain bike and
spend time with my family.
What is your favorite
subject in school?
My favorite subject is
either history or science.
Science since it challenges
me and shows me how the
world works and I like history
since it tells me what
has happened and how it
has affected the world.
Where in the world
do you most want to
travel?
I would like to travel to
Iceland when I have the
chance since I like the type
of scenery there and I also
like places that are cold.
Before a meet are
there any particular
songs you listen to to
pump yourself up?
Most of them are random
songs that help me
get ready but for the 500. I
have always listened to “La
Grange” by ZZ Top.
Suzy Demeter/22nd Century Media
What do you most
want to improve on
this season?
I want to improve on my
200 and 500 the most and
to fine-tune my dives at the
beginning of my races.
What are you most
looking forward to this
season?
I am looking forward to
swimming at the LA Invitational
this weekend since
my brother will be swimming
there and it is my big
meet this summer. Also the
Speedo sectionals in December.
What would you say
your strengths are as a
swimmer?
I seem to be good at setting
goals, focusing and
achieving them.

Pepperdine Athletics
Waves standout Theegala wins Sahalee Players Championship
Rising junior golfer Sahith
Theegala continued his
breakout 2017 campaign
with a victory at the Sahalee
Players Championship, a
prestigious amateur golf
event in the Pacific Northwest,
July 7.
Theegala shot a 3-under
285 (71-67-69-78) over
three days at Sahalee Country
Club. He entered the
fourth and final round with
a four-stroke lead. And despite
a rough day, he made it
into a playoff with Min Woo
Lee of Australia.
On the first playoff hole,
the par 5 18th, Theegala
made a six-foot par for birdie
to win after Lee settled
for par.
On a difficult course
where the average round
was 75.5 strokes, Theegala
finished with 16 birdies
and 41 pars while committing
just 13 bogeys and one
double-bogey over the four
rounds.
Theegala is the second
Wave to win the Sahalee
Players Championship,
joining Jason Gore in 1996.
This was the 23rd edition of
the event, which began in
1992.
Theegala was one of four
Waves playing in the 2017
event. Joshua McCarthy
took 18th, Roy Cootes tied
for 19th and Clay Feagler
tied for 22nd.
Coming up on Theegala’s
schedule is the U.S.
Amateur, set for Aug. 14-
20 at Riviera Country Club
and Bel-Air Country Club.
Theegala was a quarterfinalist
at last year’s championship.
ATHLETICS
Waves host WCC Student-
Athlete Leadership Summit
The Pepperdine Athletics
Department welcomed the
West Coast Conference and
32 student-athletes from
WCC institutions to campus
June 28-30 for the WCC
Student-Athlete Leadership
Summit in an effort to enhance
leadership techniques
and encourage culture
change on each campus.
“It has been an honor
hosting student-athletes
from West Coast Conference
institutions,” Dr. Steve
Potts said. “Student-athlete
development and leadership
is an important focus for
Pepperdine Athletics and
we are grateful to be able
to share that vision with our
partner schools.”
Among the group were
five Waves’ student-athletes:
recent graduate James
Gehrels of men’s volleyball,
senior men’s cross country
and track athlete Kevin
Maeda, junior Skylar Caputo
of the beach volleyball
team, sophomore Nolan
Taylor from men’s basketball
and redshirt-sophomore
women’s basketball player
Megan House.
Ten administrators and
staff from within the Pepperdine
Athletics department
served as mentors and
helped lead the participants.
They were Potts, Karina
Herold, Kevin Green, Katie
Ristow, Sarah Otteman,
Krista Lopata, Amanda
Rowe, Thad Satre, Hilary
Koenig and Bria Richardson.
JT Thoms and Timothy
Alexander from Growing
Leaders presented on
the first two days, working
through “Habitudes”
that combine images, relatable
stories and experiences
into leadership values
that resonate with today’s
young adults. The purpose
is to equip them to navigate
through life’s challenges
and opportunities.
“It was an enlightening
experience,” Maeda said.
“It’s an experience we
would not get from any other
organization. They truly
unraveled the mysteries behind
leadership and the fundamentals
that make a great
leader impacting.”
Along with Thoms, Alexander
and the Waves’ staff,
the West Coast Conference’s
Commissioner Lynn
Holzman, Senior Associate
Commissioner and Senior
Woman Administrator Connie
Hurlburt, and Assistant
Commissioner of Compliance
and Student-Athlete
Services Jessica Everhart
sponsored and participated
throughout the weekend and
led the final day of events.
“We are thankful that
Growing Leaders, Pepperdine’s
Athletics’ staff and
the West Coast Conference
help put on this event,”
Maeda said. “For all the
student-athletes, it was a
life-changing experience
that will enable us to better
both our individual schools
and the surrounding communities.”
Thoms led the first day of
action, laying a foundation
for identifying core values
and empowering studentathletes
to keep those values
balanced and present in
their leadership style. Afterwards,
Alexander told his
powerful story of overcoming
the adversity of becoming
a paraplegic and how
he still successfully worked
toward his dreams.
In the evening, everyone
went to Malibu Café for
dinner and various lawn
games, setting a jovial tone
for the rest of the week.
On Thursday, the participants
awoke bright and
early and hit Pacific Coast
Highway en route to Will
Rogers State Beach in Pacific
Palisades. While there,
10 teams were dispersed in
an effort to clean up trash in
the surrounding area. Following
a final presentation
by Thoms and Alexander
and an open forum with
WCC Commissioner Holzman,
the participants headed
up to main campus en
route to President Andrew
K. Benton’s home for a
meal and conversation with
the President and First Lady
Debby.
On the final day, Everhart,
from the conference office,
led a discussion challenging
students to create action
plans using the skills they
learned. After the strong
presentations and healthy
discussion and debate, each
student-athlete left feeling
empowered to impact
change and influence culture
on every campus.
“We are stronger as a
conference,” Caputo said.
“In working together, we
are all going to focus on
small changes to make a big
impact on this upcoming
school year.”
WOMEN’S GOLF
Pepperdine’s Zhu earns
WGCA All-American Scholar
award
Katherine Zhu picked
up her third All-American
Scholar award in three
years from the Women’s
Golf Coaches Association
July 5.
Zhu, who is heading into
her senior season, is an international
studies major.
The WGCA award requires
a minimum 3.5 grade-point
average.
Zhu is also a two-time
West Coast Conference All-
Academic first team selection
and a two-time Arthur
Ashe Jr. Sports Scholar.
She was an All-WCC first
team selection as a junior
and was one of three Waves
to play in all 12 events. She
averaged 76.13 strokes and
four Top 20 finishes, including
a fourth-place result at
the Golfweek Conference
Challenge. Zhu helped the
Waves to a 23rd-place finish
at the 2017 NCAA Championships.
This is the 23rd time
since 1995 that a Wave has
received WGCA All-American
Scholar status.
WOMEN’S BASKETBALL
Waves add two transfers
Pepperdine coach DeLisha
Milton-Jones announced
the addition of two
graduate transfers to the
Pepperdine program, Tylinn
Carter of CSU Bakersfield
and Peyton Langston of
Evansville, on July 3.
Both players bring in a
wealth of post experience to
the young Pepperdine squad
for this upcoming season.
They join fellow signees
Lacie Johnson, Mia Satie,
Rose Pflug and Monique
Andriuolo.
“Both Tylinn and Peyton
will instantly come in and
make a positive impact on
our program on and off the
court,” said Milton-Jones,
who enters her first year
at the helm for the Waves.
“Their experience alone
will prove to be invaluable
for our success as a team.”
Carter, a 6-1 forward
hailing from San Diego,
started her collegiate career
at Delaware State, playing
her freshman season for the
Hornets before transferring
back to her native California
and CSU Bakersfield. Over
the last two seasons with the
Roadrunners, Carter provided
solid minutes off the
bench in the post, scoring in
double-digits four times and
providing the third most
blocks on the team with 16
this past season.
“Tylinn is a very serviceable
player that will come
in and bring us instant maturity,”
Milton-Jones said.
“We look forward to the
contributions she will make
within our program. Her aggressiveness
and versatility
allow us to explore many
different competitive lineups
within our team.”
Langston, a 6-foot forward
from Carson, played
her prep ball at Mater Dei
before enrolling at Evanston
for the last three seasons.
She played in 74
games for the Purple Aces
and made 19 starts, earning
Missouri Valley Conference
Honor Roll recognition in
2014-15. Langston scored
196 points and grabbed 150
rebounds during her time in
Evansville. She finished her
degree in three years and
will be eligible to play immediately
next season.
“I chose Pepperdine because
I liked the energy the
coaching staff has about the
program and the school is
close to home, so my family
can come to my games,”
Langston said.
