Malibuites donate blood in midst of ‘critical shortage’ 

American Red 

Cross blood drive at 

Leo Carrillo fulfills 

collection goal 

Suzy Demeter 

Freelance Reporter 

Malibu’s blood drive on 

July 25 saw its best participation 

in a decade. 

Thirty-eight units of 

blood were donated during 

this past week’s drive 

at Leo Carrillo State Park, 

according to Sean Inoue, 

account manager of donor 

resources development at 

The American Red Cross. 

And the timing couldn’t 

have been any better, as 

American Red Cross recently 

claimed it was up 

against a critical shortage. 

“For it to be this critical 

is uncommon,” Inoue said. 

The annual summer 

drive, which was held from 

2-8 p.m., invited lifeguards, 

rangers, park maintenance 

and members of the community 

to donate blood. 

The serene location, in 

the north parking lot adjacent 

to the beach, was made 

possible with the support of 

California State Lifeguard 

Tom Snyder and Jr. Lifeguard 

instructor Robyn 

Doler. A team of nurses 

were on-site along with 

Mark Marquez, the driver 

of the American Red Cross 

bus. 

Inside the bus, charge 

nurse Sarah Little, along 

with Vanessa Urrutia, Carmela 

Bazan and Jingle 

Bustamante, conducted 

brief examinations, took 

vitals and asked health history 

questions before the 

blood draw. 

Inoue helped donors sign

ran smoothly. 

Inoue said there is a need 

for more locations in Malibu 

for the blood drive, a 

need for which he hopes to 

raise awareness. The goal

said, was to receive 35 to

What does AB250 mean for Malibu? 

Malibuites fear bill’s 

potential impact on 

city’s open space 

Suzanne Guldimann 


Local activists are concerned 

that a California 

assembly bill intended to 

facilitate low-cost beach 

accommodations could 

generate a building frenzy 

in Malibu. 

The bill was introduced 

by Assemblywoman Lorena 

Gonzalez Fletcher, 

who represents San Diego’s 

80th District, and has the 

support of State Sen. Henry 

Stern, who represents Malibu 

and most of the Santa 

Monica Mountains. 

If AB250 is adopted, 

it would require the state 

Coastal Conservancy to 

“develop and implement 

a specified Lower Cost 

Coastal Accommodations 

Program” intended to facilitate 

improvement of existing, 

and development of 

new, lower-cost accommodations 

within 1.5 miles of 

the coast, according to the 

text of the bill. 

The intention is to enable 

the state to purchase 

existing lower cost accommodations 

from willing 

sellers, and to operate those 

accommodations through 

leases or operating agreements 

with other agencies, 

nonprofits or concessionaires. 

However, the bill also 

appears to relax restrictions 

on building new facilities 

in existing parkland, including 

campgrounds, cabins 

and even hotels. 

The bill requires the 

Coastal Conservancy to 

examine “specific opportunities 

to improve existing 

and develop new lower cost 

accommodations on coastal 

public lands and coastal 

lands owned or operated by 

nonprofit organizations,” 

and develop a list of “potentially 

suitable sites for 

the location of these accommodations.” 

It also states that those 

lands may include, but are 

not limited to, “state, regional, 

and local parks, 

lands held by harbor or 

open space districts, lands 

owned by the public but 

not yet designated as parks, 

lands owned by nonprofit 

organizations, and national 

parks and other federally 

managed lands.” 

Although AB250 includes 

the entire California 

coast, critics of the proposal 

say it unfairly targets the 

Santa Monica Mountains 

and Malibu, the largest remaining 

open space area 

on the coast near a major 

urban center. 

Malibu Planning Commission 

Chairman John 

Mazza, speaking as a 

member of the public, 

brought the bill to the attention 

of the Malibu City 

Council last month. 

“It’s the biggest threat to 

the sovereignty of Malibu 

since we became a city,” 

Mazza said, criticizing 

provisions in the bill that 

would open parkland to 

development. 

“The city has over two 

square miles of public 

open space within our 

boundaries,” Mazza explained. 

“[The city is] 

surrounded by national, 

state park and conservancy 

land. This bill would allow 

camping on all of that 

land, it would allow hotels 

on all of that land. The bill 

authorizes these agencies 

to go to private developers 

and get them to do it.” 

Like communities all 

along California’s coast, 

Malibu’s golden age of 

low-cost accommodations 

peaked in the 1950s when 

half a dozen motels offered 

inexpensive access to pristine 

beaches. 

They ran the gamut from 

the elegant Holiday House, 

designed by legendary architect 

Richard Nuetra 

and owned and operated 

by silent era film director 

Dudley Murphy, to the 

tiki-themed Tonga-Lei and 

the Albatross, a hotel with 

a reputation as a site for secret 

assignations. 

A generation before the 

“motor hotels” designed 

to accommodate baby 

boomer families on roadtrip 

vacations that were 

part of the mid-century 

modern American dream, 

tent cabins lined the beach 

east of Las Flores, offering 

Angelenos an escape from 

stifling summer weather in 

the era before air conditioning. 

However, by the 1970s, 

the motel era was waning 

fast. Activists successfully 

defeated plans for the last 

motel proposed for the 

city, the 110-room Zuma 

motel, which would have 

been located across from 

Zuma Beach. Several motels 

were converted into 

shopping centers or office 

space. One became 

the Malibu Country Mart 

— the popular children’s 

playground was the motel’s 

courtyard and pool. 

Others, like the Holiday 

House, were converted to 

apartments or condominiums, 

or transformed from 

inexpensive motels into 

high-priced boutique hotels. 

A quick look at hotel 

comparison sites reveals 

that the cheapest hotel rate 

in Malibu today is in the 

$200 range, with the priciest 

hotel going for $1,000- 

$2,000 a night. 

Campers still have lowcost 

options. California 

State Park campsites at 

Leo Carrillo State Park and 

Malibu Creek State Park 

cost roughly $45 a night. 

A site at Thornhill Broome 

State Beach, the only place 

in the Malibu area where 

camping is available directly 

on the sand, goes for 

$35 a night, according to 

the California Department 

of Parks and Recreation 

website. 

The City of Huntington 

Beach is the first municipality 

on record opposing 

AB250, but a variety of 

homeowner and local activism 

organizations, including 

the Las Virgenes 

Homeowners Federation 

and Preserve Malibu, are 

marshaling opposition. 

Both local groups express 

concerns that the bill will 

enable developers to circumvent 

environmental 

protections and local government 

oversight. 

Mazza asked the Malibu 

City Council to consider 

placing the issue on a future 

agenda for discussion. 

“It’s not good for Malibu,” 

Mazza told the Malibu 

Surfside News. “Fire 

danger is a big political 

item in Malibu. This bill 

would allow camping in 

a state-declared high fire 

danger area. It takes planning 

decisions away from 

the City. It takes away 

the City Council’s rights, 

it takes away all of our 

rights.”

FEMA plans meeting on revised Malibu floodplain maps 

90-day appeal period 

to open Aug. 9 

Submitted by the City of 

Malibu 

The Federal Emergency 

Management Agency is 

holding a public meeting 

from 6:30-8:30 p.m. 

on Tuesday, Aug. 22, at 

Malibu City Hall to discuss 

its newly revised drafts of 

floodplain maps for areas 

within the City of Malibu, 

specifically along the coast. 

City staff and representatives 

from FEMA will 

provide information and 

discuss the revised draft 

floodplain maps, the effects 

these maps will have on 

development, the need to 

annually purchase federal 

flood insurance, the FEMA 

map adoption process and 

schedule, and the FEMA 

appeal process. 

The floodplain map revisions 

are part of the California 

Coastal Analysis and 

Mapping Program. Based 

on engineering studies that 

considered tide, wave surge, 

wave run-up, and overtopping 

analysis, the revised 

maps propose to remove 

some properties from the 

currently effective floodplain 

map, and add other 

properties for the first time. 

Lastly, new base flood elevations 

and flood zones 

have been established based 

upon these studies. 

Property owners may 

challenge FEMA on the revised 

draft floodplain maps 

with technical information 

by emailing Malibu City 

staff at rduboux@malibucity.org 

during the 90-day 

calendar appeal period 

(Aug. 9 to Nov. 6, 2017). 

The Criteria for Appeal of 

Flood Insurance Rate Maps 

are available online. 

For an early look at your 

home or community‘s projected 

risk to flood hazards, 

read the preliminary flood 

hazard data. The files are 

very large and may take 

some time to download. The 

“Open Pacific Coast Study” 

is also available online.

Business Briefs 

Sheriff’s department 

appeals Supreme Court’s 

Brady decision 

The LA County Sheriff’s 

Department expects to seek 

legal clarity and guidance 

on its obligations under 

the U.S. Supreme Court’s 

Brady decision, according 

to a July 26 release from 

the Los Angeles County 

Sheriffs Department Information 

Bureau. 

The decision (known 

as “Brady vs. Maryland”) 

requires prosecutors in a 

criminal case to disclose 

exculpatory evidence to 

the defense. Sheriff Jim 

McDonnell stated that the 

Brady decision and subsequent 

litigation and legal 

opinions have failed to offer 

clarity on exactly how 

to reconcile the conflict 

between state law which 

states that peace officer 

personnel files are confidential 

and shall not be 

disclosed in any criminal or 

civil proceeding except by 

court order, and the duty of 

the Department to disclose 

information under Brady. 

“This is about respecting 

the rights of peace officers, 

and preserving the integrity 

of criminal cases,” McDonnell 

stated. “The legal process, 

is just that, part of a 

process where the courts 

will make a number of determinations 

that will guide 

how we move forward.”

Senate Bill 756 is the first 

measure Stern has sent 

to the governor and had 

signed into law. It will go 

into effect Jan. 1, 2018. 

SB 756 will provide restitution 

for mental health 

services to young sexual 

abuse victims. It was signed 

into law July 21 by Gov. 

Jerry Brown after receiving 

unanimous approval from 

members of both the State 

Assembly and Senate. 

In 2014, 15 victims were 

molested by their soccer 

coach in LA County, a release 

on the new bill stated. 

Several of the victims were 

unable to receive restitution. 

Currently, there are approximately 

700 cases 

pending in LA County 

alone that could be eligible 

for restitution under SB 

756. 

“Our kids deserve better,” 

Stern said. “Victims 

of sexual violence are being 

denied justice under 

our current system. SB 756 

will assist kids in getting 

the help they deserve. I applaud 

Gov. Brown for signing 

this important measure 

into law.” 

SB 756 was co-sponsored 

by the Los Angeles 

District Attorney’s Office 

and the Crime Victims Action 

Alliance. 

Malibu named top 

honeymoon destination 

Last month, travel site 

TripAdvisor released a list 

of the Top 15 honeymoon 

destinations in the U.S., 

and Malibu made the cut. 

“Whatever Malibu calls 

to mind — whether celebrity 

sightings, sizable surf, 

or endless rows of palm 

trees — this dreamy small 

town was practically made 

for newlyweds,” the article 

stated. “With romantic activities 

from wine tasting 

to horseback riding on the 

beach, it’s easy to see why 

it’s one of the top honeymoon 

destinations in the 

US.” 

The post went on to recommend 

shopping in Malibu 

Country Mart, dining at 

Malibu Cafe or Duke’s, and 

partaking in activities such 

as surfing, hiking or scuba 

diving. 

The list was based on 

property reviews from users 

of TripAdvisor Rentals.

know there’s more than one 

way to save lives.” 

The American Red Cross

“This gift will give the

of our youngest, most vulnerable 

patients,” Friedlich 

said. “With this new support,

Police Reports 

Alleged home intruder escapes through second-story window 

A residential burglary reportedly 

took place July 26 

at a home on Hassted Drive 

in Malibu. The alleged victim 

went into his backyard 

to change the batteries for 

his home security system. 

While in the backyard, 

he noticed a pile of clothing. 

He walked away from 

the pile and shortly thereafter 

saw an unknown person 

standing at the doorway to 

the house, police said. 

The victim reportedly 

yelled at the person, and the 

alleged suspect proceeded 

to run away and jump out 

of a second-story window. 

The suspect managed to 

steal some of the victim’s 

personal items, police said. 

July 25 

• An employee at Paradise 

Cove Beach Café reportedly 

discovered all four of his 

tires had been punctured 

and flattened while parked 

on the south side of PCH 

near Paradise Cove. 

July 20 

• A commercial burglary 

reportedly took place at 99 

High Tide on PCH. An informant 

said upon arriving 

at the business, she noticed 

the hallway door open and 

no power to the security 

alarm system. Upon further 

investigation, she discovered 

wires pulled apart 

from the backup battery 

and the breaker panel open. 

Video surveillance showed 

two masked persons enter 

the office through the window, 

look around and exit 

through the same window. 

July 19 

• An Audi car key, Coach 

purse, women’s wallet, 

California driver’s license 

and four credit cards reportedly 

were stolen from a vehicle 

at PCH and Guernsey 

Avenue. The alleged victim 

parked the vehicle on 

the south side of PCH and 

walked over to the beach to 

check out the waves. Upon 

returning, she discovered 

the items missing. 

• An unknown male wearing 

a mask, black zippered 

motorcycle leather jacket 

and light colored khaki 

pants reportedly smashed 

two of the passenger’s 

side windows of a vehicle 

parked on PCH. The alleged 

victim was able to 

determine the time of the 

incident and observe the alleged 

suspect committing 

the crime via an outdoor security 

surveillance camera. 

July 18 

• A small surf bag reportedly 

was stolen from a vehicle 

in the 35000 block of 

Pacific Coast Highway. The 

alleged victim parked his 

truck while surfing at Leo 

Carillo beach. Upon returning, 

he discovered the 

passenger’s side window 

smashed in and the surf bag 

missing. Prior to surfing, 

the victim noticed a male 

and female walking alongside 

the parked vehicles as 

if they were perusing. The 

victim believes they are 

likely the ones who committed 

the crime.

Agencies capture alleged car thief in Malibu 

Lauren Coughlin, Editor 

A July 22 car chase became 

an on-foot pursuit after 

the driver spun out on Broad 

Beach Road in Malibu. 

California Highway Patrol 

Officer Victor Varela said the 

vehicle was initially pulled 

over in Ventura County, near 

Neptune’s Net, for speeding. 

“The officer ran the vehicle’s 

VIN and it came back 

stolen and the guy took off,” 

Varela said. 

The Malibu/Lost Hills 

Sheriff’s Department was 

informed that the offender 

was headed toward Malibu 

around 7 a.m., said Sgt. B. 

Patin. 

It was around that same 

time that the man crashed 

the stolen car and ran. Varela 

said a passenger stayed in the 

car. 

A Ventura County Sheriff’s 

Office helicopter attempted 

to aid in the search 

for the suspect, but was unable 

to find them, said Media 

Relations Officer Capt. Garo 

Kuredjian. 

Both individuals were 

eventually located and arrested 

by CHP officials on 

charges of evading police 

and vehicle theft, Varela said.

Malibu yoga studio hosts yoga, cooking and hiking retreat 

Barbara Burke 


The proverbial “getting away 

from it all” usually denotes a 

weekend at a resort, picking up 

a few spa treatments, catching up 

on reading novels, and perhaps 

taking an excursion to experience 

a unique cultural experience near 

one’s destination. 

This past weekend, a lucky few 

attended the Yoga, Cooking and 

Hiking Retreat hosted by Malibu’s 

5 Point Yoga, an experience 

that transcended the traditional 

weekend getaway. Proprietors 

Ted McDonald and his wife, Lauren 

Lobley, a trained chef, expertly 

curated a wonderful weekend 

of hikes, yoga and plant-based 

vegan cooking lessons. The combination 

made for a perfect miniholiday, 

self-improvement hat 

trick retreat. 

Attendees arrived on Thursday, 

July 27, and gathered for yoga, 

followed by a welcome dinner. 

The yoga was that wonderful, 

user-friendly, non-intimidating 

kind where even a beginner feels 

comfortable but experienced yogis 

can find a challenge. 

Ted McDonald, a triathlon-experienced, 

endurance athlete who 

teaches both yoga and meditation, 

inspired participants by providing 

gentle guidance to challenge each 

person to reach a little deeper 

and try new poses, all the while 

educating attendees about the 

benefits of Iyengar and Ashtanga 

styles of yoga. 

“Let’s start with nice big 

stretches,” he said. “State your 

intentions, whether it is releasing 

stress, healing, or letting go of 

something. Do what is beneficial 

for you. Work on core strength.” 

Attendees breathed in deeply 

and the tensions of everyday 

routines and meeting obligations 

seemed to float into the ether, 

worries dissipated, and each person 

could focus on herself and 

try to achieve that balance we all 

yearn for. 

Relax.

Yoga, Cooking and Hiking Retreat. Yoga was led by 5 Point Yoga 

founder Ted McDonald. Photos by Barbara Burke/22nd Century Media 

Rejuvenate. 

Revive. 

There truly is merit to being 

still. 

McDonald’s yoga sessions center 

on strength, alignment and 

breathing, all aimed at helping 

students increase their flexibility, 

tenacity and focus. 

It is a remarkable feature of 

humanity how a group of strangers 

with a common aim can meet, 

coalesce and form a community 

in an incredibly brief amount of 

time. 

Repasts were the highlight of 

the experience, allowing for conviviality, 

nutrition education and 

replenishment. 

Chickpea quinoa soup with 

pesto, veggies with sweet potato 

hummus, cashew cheese with 

roasted dates served on fig crackers, 

warm spinach artichoke dip 

and a to-die-for vegan Caesar 

salad with Dijon roasted Portobella 

mushrooms were met with 

“oohs” and “ahhs” by delighted 

attendees. The pièce de résistance 

was the raw banana almond butter 

cheesecake. 

Travel weary, attendees retired. 

In the morning, there was more 

yoga, an apropos beginning to a 

picture-perfect Malibu day. 

Breakfast featured homemade 

granola, sprouted toast with 

homemade hazelnut spread, pecan 

butter, almond butter, fruit, 

fresh-pressed Clover juices, and a 

variety of fascinating teas such as 

Hazerbaba Turkish Tea and Tea 

Pigs. 

“I never thought that I could 

be completely satiated by plantbased 

foods,” attendee Phillip 

Reagan said. “I felt like the food 

might be tasty, but I worried that I 

might need more. I’m completely 

satiated, and I’m a meat and potatoes 

guy.” 

Buoyed by a nutritious breakfast, 

attendees were ready for 

the strident 1,380-foot-elevation, 

two-and-a-half-hour hike that followed. 

The experience provided 

panoramic views of the vistas of 

the Santa Monicas and the peaceful 

Pacific below. 

Another nutritious lunch followed 

and then attendees were in 

for a treat: a cooking class during 

with Lobley talking shop, providing 

technique tips, explaining the 

preparation for various dishes and 

giving attention to every detail. 

Of course, the highlight of that 

experience was the sampling. 

“Always have a stocked pantry,” 

Lobley advised as she displayed 

and explained the merits 

of vegan sugar, coconut sugar, 

flax seed, Xanthan gum and organic 

chocolate. “Do not add a 

cold vegetable to cold oil, because 

the vegetable will soak up 

the oil.” 

She exhaustively and clearly 

explained the techniques of making 

cauliflower rice, Shiitake 

mushroom saute, walnut meat 

and cashew cheese, among other 

featured epicurean delights. 

“As a young, vegetarian athlete, 

it’s great to learn healthy, 

filling vegetarian meal-making 

from Lauren,” said Emma Ellison, 

a 14-year-old from Lufkin, 

Texas. “I’m learning a lot of tips 

on races, exercise and recovery 

from Ted too.” 

After a brief rest, McDonald 

taught yin, or restorative, yoga on 

the beach — a type of yoga that is 

designed to lengthen connective

tissue, prevent injuries and open 

energetic pathways in the body. 

“This type of yoga involves 

holding poses for a long period 

of time in order to lengthen the 

fascia, the connective tissue in 

our body, which increases our 

flexibility in order to release energy 

and be able to mediate and 

relax,” McDonald said. “Just relax 

and listen to the waves and the 

ocean.” 

The gentle, stretch-oriented 

yoga on Westward Beach was the 

perfect salve for sore muscles and 

any remaining tensions. 

“Let’s have a few moments of 

beach medication. Get your spine 

straight, your body relaxed and 

breathe deeply,” McDonald said. 

“Find a focal point, perhaps keying 

in on the waves as they lap 

against the beach. Inhale and 

exhale, and just meditate. Try to 

get away from all the other stuff 

in life that is super intense. When 

the unexpected is thrown at us, 

we must center ourselves.” 

As the sun prepared to set on 

the beach, the group, now fast 

Chef Lauren Lobley 

demonstrated how to make 

various nutritious, plant-based 

recipes at 5 Point Yoga’s Yoga, 

Cooking and Hiking Retreat, held

Healthful offerings at the Yoga,

included collard green wraps

friends, headed back for another 

amazing dinner. 

“Opening our house to Lauren 

and Ted’s retreat and meeting 

such a wonderful group of 

people is a pleasure,” said host 

Paolo Consiglio, who graciously 

opened up his home for the repasts. 

“We built our home to host 

family and friend, and we like 

when people enjoy it.” 

Yoga. Hiking. Superb food. 

Good company. Good times. 

5 Point Yoga’s new experience 

retreats offer a calming yet invigorating 

coalescence of much of 

what is good in Malibu.

Ashley’s angle 

Beneath the sea: the erosion 

of the Malibu coastline 

Ashley Hamilton 

Contributing columnist 

Malibu resident 

The California coastline 

is like the mane 

of a famous lion. 

This symbol of golden 

strength and kingly distinction, 

with its shades of 

brown, black, yellow and 

rust, with its variations of 

beige, chestnut, chocolate 

and coffee, with its tufts 

(and tints) of tan, khaki, 

russet and taupe — this 

sign of health and status 

would seem to be a crown 

of power and maturity. 

A closer look belies any 

notion of authority. 

That mane is now as 

recessive as the toothless 

gums of this aged beast: 

Its 840-mile-long ribbon 

of royal colors continues 

to narrow and vanish, a 

victim of disease and destruction, 

where thin wisps 

of copper and silver are 

all that remain of so many 

formerly dense layers of 

lush sand and space. 

One need only walk 

along Carbon Beach to see 

the devastation caused by 

rising sea levels and the 

erosion of the coastline. 

Were I to retrace my steps 

from not so many years ago, 

were I to try to revisit the 

physical path of my childhood 

– were I to cut through 

the haze and smog to sit 

beside a campfire beneath 

a fiery sky – I would be 

underwater. 

I would find my past at 

the bottom of the sea. 

Such is the result of a 

battle between man and 

nature, where the latter – 

with every resource at its 

disposal, including time 

– can defeat the former, 

where the forces of planetary 

rage – of wind, fire 

and rain – sweep across the 

mountains with the speed 

of the devil winds, where 

homeowners reap the 

whirlwind of a flood from 

the west and an inferno 

from the east, where there 

is no escape to the north or 

the south. 

If we choose to do nothing, 

if we choose to believe 

there is nothing we can do 

to reverse this tide, we will 

lose more than a beach. 

Our descendants will 

see nothing but a vast sea, 

whose waves break against 

a wall of concrete rather 

than a strip of sand, whose 

artificial reefs are the sunken 

homes and drowned 

estates of a bygone era, 

whose cliffs collapse and 

crash into the Pacific. 

According to the U.S. 

Geological Survey, up to 

67 percent of Southern 

California beaches face 

complete erosion (up to 

existing coastal infrastructure) 

by the year 2100 

under scenarios of a rise 

in sea levels of one to two 

meters. 

The Proceedings of 

the National Academy of 

Science also reports that 

methane can expand this 

oceanic crisis for centuries. 

So, while this gas dissolves 

quickly in the atmosphere, 

it poisons the oceans for a 

long time. 

The acidification of the 

ocean kills fish, thereby 

killing jobs from San Diego 

to Seattle. 

If we cannot live near the 

ocean, if we cannot feed 

ourselves with the bounty 

of the ocean because nothing 

will live in the ocean, 

if the water is too toxic to 

sustain life and too noxious 

to maintain the livelihoods 

of tens of thousands of 

people – from fishermen 

and firemen to realtors and 

restaurateurs, from hoteliers 

and household staff to 

lifeguards and guardians of 

our way of life – there will 

be nothing to save. 

The coastline is a gift 

from nature, for which our 

ingratitude speaks volumes. 

In the end, nature will 

have the final say. 

We would be wise not to 

scorn a force like no other, 

lest we suffer unimaginable 

fury. 

Now is the time to heal 

our planet.

Don’t Panic, It’s Organic 

Ask Andy — readers’ questions continue 

Andy Lopez 

Contributing Columnist 

Invisible Gardener 

Last week, my 

column featured 

answers to questions 

on everything from flea 

control to orange-colored 

rust on roses. 

This week, we’re back 

with two more reader questions. 

Question No. 1: “Help! 

My vegetables are being 

eaten up (not by me), and 

my citrus is looking bad. 

Leaves appear to have 

something crawling over 

and leaving trails.” 

After talking on the 

phone with you, I told you 

that I would answer your 

question fully here so here 

goes: First off, you cannot 

have vegetables planted 

at the base of your citrus 

and expect to have both 

healthy citrus trees and 

good vegetable plants! 

They both require 

different watering and 

organic fertilizations. 

Your citrus is being over 

watered. The citrus leaf 

miner makes the trails you 

see on the leaves. Whenever 

a pest attacks any 

plant, vegetable or citrus, 

it means that the mineral 

levels have dropped low 

enough to make the plant 

food for the insects. You 

can tell the mineral levels 

of your plants by using a 

refractometer, which measures 

Brix levels. While 

Brix measures sugar levels 

in plants, it also actually 

measures mineral levels. 

When you use a refractometer, 

what you see 

when you look into the 

lens is an area of white on 

top and an area of black 

on the bottom. The line 

where they meet is your 

Brix level. If the line is 

sharp, then it shows less 

variety of minerals, and if 

the line is blurry, it shows 

a more variety of minerals 

available. Brix levels will 

also show nitrogen. So a 

plant that has been giving 

high nitrogen fertilizer 

will have a high Brix level 

for a day. Then, it will 

drop below the previous 

levels. You might say it 

has a bad hangover. 

You are over watering 

your citrus, and this 

causes mineral levels to 

drop. When this happens, 

pests attack. Your 

vegetables are also being 

watered incorrectly and 

the same results with 

them. Citrus will do fine 

with once a week watering 

during hot spells and 

every other week during 

normal temperatures. 

Vegetables need a different 

type of fertilization 

than the citrus. They need 

different watering cycles 

than the citrus. I would 

grow the vegetables in 

a separate area and bury 

a drip line. They will do 

better in a raised bed. 

Change the watering of 

the citrus to once a week 

deep watering, about 30 

to 45 minutes. Modify 

the watering of the vegetables 

to every two days 

with watering only from 

the buried drip line and 

run for about 10 minutes 

each time. 

Also, it makes a difference 

whether you 

buy organically grown 

vegetables or just the 

chemically grown variety 

in the nurseries. You cannot 

buy these chemically 

grown vegetables and 

expect them to do well 

organically. They will be 

too weak, and every pest 

will attack them in your 

neighborhood!

I hope this helps you. 

Question No. 2: “Hope 

you are well. My husband 

and I recently had you to 

the house to consult on our 

yard. Our landscaping is 

just about done - without 

the use of RoundUp! 

My question for you is 

about our raised garden 

beds. We had our landscaper 

build three large 

beds for edible plants. And 

then we remembered rats. 

So we have asked him to 

build a large enclosure to 

keep pests out. However, 

I want to let in as many 

pollinators as possible. 

I’ve read all kinds of posts 

online about how juvenile 

rats can squeeze into spaces 

a quarter-inch wide. 

That seems implausible to 

me. In your opinion, what 

gauge wire mesh should 

we use to keep as many 

pests out but allow the 

good guys in?” 

What a great question! 

Yes, the rats start out 

very small. They may 

come in and then get 

trapped inside because 

they grow fast. Here is 

what I would suggest you 

might try doing. I do not 

know how you plan to 

build your “enclosure,” 

but you can make a slight 

change in the design. I 

would see if you can open 

and close the top. The top 

should be on hinges, and 

at the very top of the enclosure. 

You also don’t say 

how big your enclosure 

is. If it was big enough, 

you could allow various 

insects to live inside. Did 

you know that you can 

pollinate your plants yourself? 

A small fine-haired 

paint brush will work just 

fine. Just paint the flowers 

of the same type with 

vegetables when they are 

open. I would have a few 

of them around and use 

them for just certain vegetables. 

Label them. 

Another thing is that 

most if not all vegetables 

do not need to be pollinated 

anymore since they 

are self-pollinating. Also, 

a fan would help. A small 

fan would spread any 

pollen around to the other 

plants. 

Also, there are many 

things you can do to keep 

the rats, mice, etc. away. 

Many natural animal control 

devices are plugged 

in and emit a particular 

sound that keeps them 

away without hurting your 

pets. But in the long run, 

I would make sure your 

enclosure is rat and mice 

proof by using screen all 

along the bottom up to 3 

feet, or they will find a 

way in. The screen should 

also go down about 2 

feet to keep them from 

going under the wire. As 

for gauge wire mesh, 1/4 

would work for the top 

but I would double layer 

that under the base and 

bottom. As I said before, 

I would even use a screen 

around the lower areas 

near the ground. 

Hope this helps!

From the Editor 

Coastal change drives need 

for ongoing education, action 

Lauren Coughlin 


There is the welcome, 

refreshing prospective 

of change — 

and then there is the type 

of change that is wildly 

unwelcome yet seemingly 

unavoidable. 

And when it comes to 

anything to do with the 

local environment being 

harmed and/or impacted, 

Malibu residents do not 

tend to welcome change 

unless it results in a positive 

solution. 

Local surfers and beachgoers 

came to City Council 

on June 26 to request that 

they look into protecting 

and restoring Malibu Lagoon, 

Surfrider Beach and 

the surrounding area. 

“Ocean rise is making 

this a critical time and we 

need to take action protecting 

the lagoon and the 

Letter to the Editor 

Renewing the battle to 

protect Malibu’s coast 

Dear Editor, 

The Malibu Township 

Council (MTC) is one of 

the organizations that have 

successfully fought for decades 

to protect Malibu and 

Adamson House, potentially 

the highway, the beach 

— [there’s] a lot of historic 

value here,” one speaker 

said at that meeting. 

But it’s not just Surfrider, 

and this week, the buzz 

continues. 

As columnist and 

Malibu resident Ashley 

Hamilton so eloquently 

penned this week in his 

Page 17 column, the 

coastline is changing. That 

much is widely known and 

widely discussed in many 

forums. But the weight of 

Hamilton’s column only 

increases when considering 

the other news that came 

from the Federal Emergency 

Management Agency 

this week (Page 4). 

As part of the California 

Coastal Analysis and Mapping 

Program, FEMA has 

redrawn its maps — removing 

some properties from 

the floodplain, but adding 

others for the first time. The 

details of those changes 

can all be reviewed online 

(for more resources, visit 

www.malibucity.org/index. 

aspx?nid=806), but officials 

will dive deeper into the 

discussion this month, too. 

On Tuesday, Aug. 22, 

FEMA will hold a public 

California’s coast from offshore 

oil drilling. 

We have renewed our 

battle and call for the 

Trump administration to 

abandon opening 3,500 

square miles of state waters 

to energy development. 

meeting at the Malibu City 

Hall to discuss the newly 

revised floodplain maps. 

Further, with the proper 

criteria, residents can file 

an appeal from Aug. 9 

through Nov. 6. 

For many, coastal 

changes are a daily realization, 

but when it comes 

in the form of a FEMA 

map, it can feel a bit more 

definitive. 

One of the very first 

events I covered as editor 

of the Surfside was a Malibu 

Library Speakers Series 

panel on climate change. I 

was absolutely floored by 

the attendance, and I was 

even further impressed by 

the thoughtful questions 

and compassion Malibuites 

expressed for their beautiful 

environment. 

At the event, scientist 

Gary Griggs spoke about 

how the sea level was rising 

at a rate of about 3.3 

millimeters per year. 

“If you live within a foot 

of sea level, that’s a lot,” 

Griggs said at the time, 

noting that scientists also 

feared that rate would only 

increase. 

“What do you do with 

the 150 million people on 

the planet that live within 

Unless you want to see 

oil rigs along our coastline, 

please join us in making 

your opinions known. 

Richard Lawrence, 

President of Malibu 

Township Council 

3 feet of sea level?” Griggs 

had said. 

Nearly a year later, 

the coastline continues 

to change — certainly 

in Malibu, and certainly 

in other coastal locales 

around the world. And in 

Malibu, it remains something 

residents are keenly 

tuned into, even when 

it’s largely beyond their 

control. 

In the case of coastal 

change and climate change 

alike, there’s no such thing 

as being too informed. 

Luckily, I suspect many in 

Malibu are well aware of 

the matter — and I know 

it’s not one anyone will be 

taking lightly.

Ukulele group shares in beloved cultural custom 

Barbara Burke 


They gathered in glee 

as they have each month 

for 12 years, an extended 

‘ohana taking time to share 

and enjoy aloha and their 

Hawaiian culture, play the 

ukulele and have repast. 

“It is our kanikapila, 

or Hawaiian jam session,” 

said the event hostess 

Wailani Oherlihy, a 

longtime Malibuite. “Our 

ukulele group is called Ka 

Mauna ‘O Ukulele which 

means, ‘Our sound resonates 

off the mountains 

and gets carried on to future 

generations.’ 

“People come from San 

Diego, Ventura, the Valley, 

and of course, Malibu and 

Hawaii. Ages range from 8 

years to 92 years old.” 

Attending the kanikapila 

is an absolute joy. 

Smiling, the group settles 

in, ukuleles in hand 

and music before them. 

They joyfully prepare 

their instruments and then 

launch into playing. 

Swaying with the music, 

intently looking at their 

notes, the rhythm of the islands 

transcends the Oherlihy 

home. Like Pacific 

waves lapping against the 

beach, the tones of the instruments 

gently undulate 

throughout the home. 

Wailani lithely danced 

the hula to “Pua ‘Ahihi” 

by Maddy Lam. 

“The song describes the 

āhihi blossom with an underlying 

kaona meaning 

desirous of deep love that 

is made out of love like a 

lei that is so beautifully 

twined together with a 

fragrance that teases your 

heart,” Oherlihy said. 

Kaona is a Hawaiian 

word referring to the hidden 

meaning of a word or 

phrase. 

Oherlihy’s willowy body 

swayed in harmony with 

the music as she elegantly 

moved her arms and hips. 

She was one with the music 

and rhythm, the perfect 

embodiment of fluidity and 

grace. 

Attendees oohed and 

awed as she performed. 

“That was lovely,” an 

attendee murmured as the 

song ended. 

A large part of Hawaiian 

culture is gathering together 

to share life’s moments. 

On July 23, the group celebrated 

Tag Taguiped’s 

82nd birthday. 

Taguiped’s love for ukulele 

playing is patently 

obvious as he strums his 

instrument. Beaming, he 

played along with the 

group, his face intent on 

achieving musical and performance 

perfection. 

He’s obviously a favorite 

of the group. 

“Playing ukulele has 

helped him survive cancer,” 

Oherlihy said. “He 

used to kanikapila with 

my parents.” 

The healing power of 

music and of shared love 

pervades this lovely gathering. 

The attendees took a 

break and enjoyed a feast 

of traditional Hawaiian 

fare, including poi and 

chili served over white 

rice. For dessert there was 

coconut cake, delicious 

and moist. 

“The food brought on 

a monthly basis changes 

depending on what people 

feel like when they come,” 

Oherlihy said. “This tradition 

of kanikapila is historical 

in Hawaii. It is an 

impromptu jam session 

which started as a family 

gathering. My grandparents 

did it and my parents 

did it and here we are 

continuing the tradition. 

Kani means sound and pila 

means any string instrument.” 

America is a land blending 

many cultures and traditions. 

Wherever people go, 

they want to keep their 

cultural traditions. At the 

Oherlihys once a month, 

attendees gather, feeling 

the aloha, enjoying the 

ukulele and sharing life’s 

moments and joys. 

Their doing so makes 

Malibu even more special.

City High, became a 

paralegal and was hired by 

attorney Mike Leighton, 

where she successfully settled 

small claims on commission. 

In May of 1977 

she divorced her first husband 

Steve Fox, a Marine, 

after a short marriage. They 

had no children. 

In 1978, she met Colin 

Dangaard, then Rupert 

Murdoch’s first Hollywood 

Editor for The National 

STAR, Murdoch’s first 

American business venture. 

Colin with Linda’s help 

also went on to produce a 

syndicated television show, 

“On View with Colin Dangaard,” 

and other television 

specials, including “Bonds 

are Forever” and “Playboy’s 

Guide to Australia.” 

Recalled Colin: “Not 

only was Linda one of the 

most beautiful women I had 

ever met, she was also one 

of the smartest. We became 

a great team, I with the crazy 

visions and Linda with 

her extraordinary ability to 

work figures. She inspired 

me with her overwhelming 

enthusiasm. When 

we produced the Playboy 

show her financial ledger 

was sent to Hugh Hefner 

with spare change taped to 

the inside. Meanwhile, she 

filled our house with animals. 

There was not a living 

creature Linda didn’t 

love, which sure created 

domestic space problems!” 

Linda and Colin easily 

fit into the A-list of Hollywood. 

Said Colin: “Linda 

would walk into a party and 

light up the room so much 

the chandeliers looked 

dull.” 

While interviewing Kirk 

Douglas, Tom Burlinson 

and Sigrid Thornton in 

Australia for “The Man 

From Snowy River,” Colin 

saw in the dailies a close-up 

of an Australian stock saddle 

and he was surprised to 

learn it was going to be in 

the film. 

“We want to show how 

Australians really ride,” 

explained Director George 

Miller. “They ride horses 

differently to anybody else 

in the world.” 

“I know,” replied Colin, 

explaining he was brought 

up in the Outback and spent 

a great deal of his teenage 

life in an Australian Stock 

Saddle chasing cattle on 

his parents 500 square-mile 

“station,” 300 miles from a 

town. Figuring the movie 

was going to be a hit, Colin 

purchased six Australian 

stock saddles, took them 

back home to Malibu and 

put them in the closet with 

Linda’s Academy gowns. 

“Linda thought I had lost 

my mind,” he remembered. 

“But I knew fate had handed 

me a ticket to ride. With 

me headed in a completely 

different career direction, 

Linda worried she would 

never again wear her Academy 

gown!” 

The gamble was an instant 

success, following 

on the blockbuster release 

of the movie in 1982. Linda 

and Colin formed The 

Australian Stock Saddle 

Company and, as partners, 

introduced the first new 

successful saddle to America 

in 200 years. Within a 

year they were the largest 

such company in the world, 

inspiring a flood of competition. 

Their ad campaign 

blared “Ride like the Man 

From Snowy River.” 

“We had a fantastic time, 

making so much money in 

such a rush,” Colin said. 

“Together we created the 

American dream. Soon we 

were employing 10 people, 

most of them directly related 

to Linda — a fact that 

would create future challenges.” 

All went upward, until at 

age 49 Linda started showing 

symptoms of dementia. 

Linda Fox Dangaard 

would be officially diagnosed 

eight years later, in 

March of 2011. 

“Our business failed 

in lock-step with Linda’s 

cognizant decline, as I lost 

my inspiration and, finally, 

the time needed to work, 

as I moved into a 24/7 role 

of caregiver,” Colin said. 

“With no family help, I did 

it myself because to care for 

somebody with this disease 

takes $15,000 a month. Our 

insurance covered only a 

small part of that, and Linda 

was too young for any 

state or federal support. But 

it was all worth it because I 

got to be there for the lady 

I loved, when she needed 

me most. That was a huge 

honor and privilege. The 

other big reward was that 

she died in her own bed, 

in her own home, with me 

holding her hand as I promised 

I would 39 years ago, 

with Elvis music and people 

dancing. When she took 

her last breath, she smiled, 

and the smile froze there as 

she passed on. ” 

Linda is survived by her 

father, Fredrick, now a 

resident of Idaho, mother, 

Joanne, sisters Dawn and 

Vicky, and brother, Rick, 

all residents in Los Angeles 

County. A memorial event 

was held July 29. Linda and 

Colin had no children.

Novel makes it as easy as 1, 2, 3 

Malibu author, 

celebrity trainer 

pens 33rd novel, 

‘The 3 Choices’ 


Inhaling and exhaling is 

a part of everyday life. 

But so often, it’s a matter 

of instinct and survival. 

It’s rarely a mindful focus 

— one that involves closing 

your eyes, inhaling and 

exhaling through the nostrils, 

ensuring your belly 

rises and falls, visualizing 

the air going in and out, 

pairing affirmations with 

your breath, or using the 

Apple Breathe app. That 

is unless you’re a client of 

celebrity fitness trainer and 

new Malibu resident Jorge 

Cruise. 

When Cruise tells one of 

his clients to breathe, he really 

means it. 

Cruise — who moved 

to Malibu four months ago 

with his husband, Sam — 

likens conscious breathing 

to the motto of Malibu’s 

beloved SunLife Organics: 

“be here now.” 

“That is what breathing 

does; it brings your attention 

to this moment,” 

Cruise said. “ ... It’s like 

overwhelming your senses 

with one modality.” 

This past June, Cruise’s 

advice on breathing and 

more recently went a little 

more mainstream through 

his 33rd book, “The 3 

Choices: Simple Practices 

to Transform Pain into 

Power.” 

“I think of breathing as 

the perfect metaphor for 

life itself,” Cruise wrote 

in “The 3 Choices.” “Each 

inhale is a representation of 

Celebrity fitness trainer and new Malibu resident Jorge 

Cruise is pictured. Photo Submitted 

fresh and new opportunities, 

a chance to be openminded, 

willing, and connected 

to new experiences, 

while every exhale symbolizes 

the release of old and 

static ideas.” 

“Don’t Hold Your 

Breath” is Choice No. 2, 

which spans 40 pages. 

The book also features 

a section entitled “Move 

to Improve, which focuses 

on exercise and movement 

— which Cruise calls the 

most under-utilized form 

of antidepressant we can 

use in 2017 — as well as a 

segment of self-acceptance 

(“Be Imperfectly You”). 

The latter certainly hits 

home with the 46-year-old 

author and was also inspired 

by one of his former 

clients, Lauren Hennessey, 

who he consulted on E! TV 

series “Revenge Body with 

Khloé Kardashian.” 

When Cruise met Hennessey, 

he recalled, she was 

274 pounds and struggled 

with grief over the loss of 

her father and brother. She 

often turned to emotional 

eating. 

“Many of us (myself included) 

have turned to food 

as a coping mechanism to 

deal with boredom, grief, 

and other difficult emotions 

and situations,” Cruise 

wrote in “The 3 Choices.” 

“But it’s important to consciously 

understand that the 

habit of eating to feel better 

is one we must break. The 

comfort we get from eating 

is merely an illusion.” 

Cruise, on the other hand, 

said he “hit rock bottom” 

eight years ago when he 

went through his divorce. 

“I came out,” Cruise 

said. “I was a Catholic man 

and very much a family 

man my whole life.” 

While their demons were 

different, Cruise and Hennessey 

similarly shared a 

path of self blame. 

“When you go through 

a hardship — whether its 

a death or divorce or whatever 

— what a lot of people 

do is overdrink and overeat 

at night,” Cruise said. 

Slowly but surely, those 

calories add up. 

“Unfortunately a lot of 

[carbohydrates] that we’re 

addicted to cause us to balloon 

up quickly,” he said. 

And as much as what one 

eats in the kitchen adds up, 

so too does the emotional 

weight. Cruise said an understanding 

of that old 

mantra “everything happens 

for a reason” is necessary. 

“Just be yourself,” Cruise 

wrote. “Be that person your 

soul talks to all day long.” 

Cruise said the book is 

relevant for those who have 

been through emotional 

trauma as well as those 

who are generally stressed 

or overwhelmed. 

“Some people get more 

stressed out about being 

stressed,” he said. 

But being comfortable 

in one’s skin, consciously 

breathing and moving can 

go a long way in the path to 

a happier self. 

Cruise began his career 

as a celebrity trainer 

roughly 20 years ago, when 

he was featured on “The 

Oprah Winfrey Show.” Today, 

his clientele includes 

celebrities such as Steve 

Harvey.

The Dish 

The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf refreshes menu 

Iced drinks, new 

pastries on offer for 

summer at popular 

Malibu cafe 

Barbara Burke 


Warm summer days call 

for refreshing beverages. 

The Coffee Bean & 

Tea Leaf in Malibu Country 

Mart has new iced tea 

drinks and cold brew coffees 

that quench one’s thirst 

and have intriguing flavors. 

Try the Citrus Yuzy 

(regular 16-ounce $3.70 

and large 24 ounce $4.30), 

made with a base of Scottish 

breakfast black tea 

and infused with Japanese 

citrus, making for a tart, 

lemon-grapefruit-tangy 

taste that cools one down 

and satiates. 

“We make these cold 

brew teas differently than 

one makes regular iced tea 

which involves brewing a 

gallon of hot tea and putting 

it in the fridge to cool,” 

Manager Karla Coronado 

said. “With the cold brew 

teas, we brew it for five 

hours and it is always cold 

so the tea is not so watered 

down. It definitely makes 

for a better quality tea.” 

For a sweeter version, 

try the raspberry cold brew 

tea (regular 16-ounce $3.70 

and large 24 ounce $4.30), 

a zingy beverage with excellent 

flavor that delights 

the palate. 

Another innovative new 

beverage is the Vietnamese 

cold brew coffee, called 

ca phe sua da, a concoction 

made with sweetened 

condensed milk, brewed 

espresso and chicory root. 

“With this drink, we 

brew the espresso and water 

and ice it, doing a cold 

steep process for 20 hours,” 

Coronado said. 

The result is a distinctively 

nutty cold espresso 

with an innovative taste 

that is a great pick-me-up 

on a hot summer day. The 

regular size is $4.85 and the 

large is $5.75. 

Nitro cold brew drinks 

are all the rage, and Malibu’s

“The Nitro cold brew is 

like the Guinness of coffees 

because the coffee goes 

through a tap process like 

beer does and it is has a 

frothy taste,” Coronado said. 

“This is great for customers 

that want a cold brew that is 

both sweet and bold.”

The result is a high caffeine, 

cold coffee that has a 

creamy, pleasant taste. The 

small is $4.25 and the regular 

is $4.75. 

“We love coming here to 

Coffee Bean. We’re here 

each Sunday,” Kent Sasquatch 

said. “We meet lots 

of interesting people. We 

go riding in the canyons on 

our motorcycles and stop 

here to enjoy.” 

Malibuites and tourists 

alike find the Coffee Bean 

to be a place to gather, get a 

satisfying drink, and relax. 

“We like this place because 

it is calm and quiet,” 

Cedric Sauquet said. “We 

love the atmosphere and 

it’s clean and nice. It makes 

for a nice day.” 

Coffee Bean also offers 

light fare. 

A variety of fresh, filling 

pastries are available 

in the mornings. A classic 

cheese Danish ($2.60) is an 

excellent choice. One can 

also try the bagels ($1.40

Ride of the Week 

Spending the week in an electric car 

Fireball Tim Lawrence 

Contributing Columnist 

Malibu resident 

Recently, Hyundai 

sent me the all-new 

2017 Ioniq EV 

electric car — a 150-mile 

range EV that boasts a 

variety of electric lifestyle 

options, and looks pretty 

dang cool. 

Now, the Ioniq is similar 

to the Prius and many other 

electric cars, and I could 

take the next 10 minutes of 

your time to explain why 

this one is better or worse 

than the rest. But seeing as 

how this is about automotive 

inspiration more than 

silly car reviews — that 

you can get in abundance 

— let’s talk a bit about 

why electric cars are so 

important in someone’s 

lifestyle here in the ’Bu. 

I drive a lot of cars, as 

you may know. The car 

companies know that on 

my Vlog Show, I always 

put their best foot forward 

in a positive way, as I am 

grateful to them for entrusting 

me with that kind 

of focus. 

And as you may also 

know by being a Malibuite, 

gratitude is riches, and 

complaints are poverty. So, 

to help expand your world, 

I will always give you the 

best and brightest of what 

the car companies have 

coming. 

Now, this Ioniq has several 

features I appreciate, 

like a Bluetooth cellphone 

charger, 150 miles on a 

charge and some nifty push 

button gear shifty thingies. 

But what I really want 

to concentrate on is the 

fact of having an electric 

vehicle in your life. 

Seriously, do you realize 

that EVs are now the norm, 

and you can buy one just 

about anywhere? Not a 

concept, but hit just about 

any dealership and, boom, 

you can plant your derrière 

in a full electric vehicle. 

The future is here, and we 

should all embrace it. 

Are they perfect? No. 

But what car is? 

Can they be better? Of 

course. All cars can, and so 

can everything else. 

But for the week that 

I’m enjoying this car, it’s 

my job on this show — 

and here in Ride of the 

Week — to show you how 

having an EV can really be 

fun. And that, my friendly 

Malibuites, is about consciousness. 

Being aware of “why” 

is what is important here. 

Knowing that you are not 

adding greenhouse gases to 

the marble is great for sure, 

but how does this affect 

your day to day personal 

life? 

We generally don’t see 

the affect of our car spewing 

fumes, but the joy and 

awareness you feel in driving 

an EV helps to expand 

the joy of driving itself. 

You want to drive more 

and share your experiences. 

The other day, I 

grabbed my wife, Kathie; 

my brother and my niece 

and I took them to the 

Malibu Creek Rock Pool. 

We talked all about the 

EV and really enjoyed the 

fact that we were cleandriving 

to a beautiful 

place. We swam, jumped 

off the rocks and floated 

near the damn — a spectacular 

day of fun and a 

perfect example of what 

you can do when you 

actually enjoy the drive. 

I’m not saying you cannot 

do this via a normal 

car. For sure, you can, but 

driving an EV is almost 

like riding around in Autopia 

cars at Disneyland. 

You feel really good about 

driving, and it’s fun. That’s 

cool. 

So, the next time you 

consider a car purchase, I 

Going rate 

Malibu Sales and Leases | Week of July 21-July 27 

The 2017 Hyundai Ioniq EV is shown. photo submitted 

don’t care which EV you 

choose, whether it is a 

Tesla, Chevy Bolt, Nissan 

Leaf or this Ioniq. Just 

know that electric cars 

are here to enhance and 

expand our lives. And with 

the bottom line being about 

feeling good, rest assured 

that no matter which one 

you get, you’re going to 

feel that way. 

Charge up and head 

somewhere fun. Then, 

you’ll become a “smile 

millionaire.”

Looking stronger than ever before 

Pepperdine professor 

shows muscle in 

weightlifting, CrossFit 

competitions 

Barbara Burke 


At 65, many are winding down 

physical activities. 

Au contraire for Laurie Nelson, 

a Pepperdine professor who decided 

to pursue CrossFit training 

six years ago at the age of 65. 

It was a herculean undertaking. 

“Laurie had never done a pullup 

in her entire life, had never 

trained in her life and had only 

done intramural volleyball in 

high school,” said Mike Anderson, 

owner of CrossFit Malibu. 

“She came into my gym with a 

torn ACL and not a lot of mobility. 

She was physically growing 

old. 

“She worked hard and was able 

to do her first pull-up at 65 years 

old. She dedicated herself to coming 

into the gym five to seven days 

a week and only two years later, 

she was breaking world records 

in two Olympic events. She now 

has an ability that you don’t find 

in most human beings, let alone 

someone of her age.” 

At 66 years old, with dogged 

determination and laser-focused 

commitment, Nelson qualified for 

the CrossFit Games in 2012 in the 

Masters 60+ category. She came 

in 10th place. 

By the age of 69, Nelson was 

taking special coaching for Olympic 

weightlifting. 

In 2016, Nelson set USA records 

in the snatch and clean and 

jerk. Her lift of 34 kilograms for 

snatch was 5 kg over the U.S. 

record, and her clean and jerk of 

42 kg was 6 kg over the U.S. record. 

She won her event and was 

awarded the Best Lifter award for 

her age category of 70+ females. 

But Nelson was only getting 

started. 

In 2017, she went to Savannah, 

Georgia, for the USA Nationals 

and bettered her own record in 

clean and jerk by 1 kg, lifting 43 

kg, and qualifying for the World 

Master’s Games in New Zealand 

in April. Her snatch of 29 kg (64 

pounds) beat the world record by 

1 kg. Her clean and jerk of 42 kg 

(92.5 pounds), beat the world record 

by 2 kg. Her total of 71 kg 

beat the world record by 3 kg. 

Malibu Surfside News sat down 

with Nelson to chat about her 

amazing feats and her philosophy 

of staying in shape, continuously 

striving to improve and try new 

things, and her life’s narrative. 

Given her physical feats, one is 

somewhat surprised by her relatively 

diminutive stature. However, 

it is her driven personality, 

tempered by a laser-focused sense 

of humor and a self-deprecating 

manner that most impresses. 

“I grew up in Hollywood and 

went to Hollywood High School. 

There were no organized sports 

for girls back then,” Nelson said. 

“I had no opportunity to participate 

in organized sports.” 

Nelson has had a meteoric 

professional career that parallels 

her phenomenal achievements in 

Olympic weightlifting and Cross- 

Fit competitions. 

She attended UCLA, getting 

physical education and psychology 

degrees. She obtained a 

master’s and PhD in athletic administration. 

Her 1979 doctoral 

thesis addressed Title IX’s seismic 

changes to collegiate sports 

and how universities struggled 

to comply with requirements that 

women athletes be given equal 

sports participation opportunities. 

Nelson and many others have, 

over time, helped women athletes 

achieve equality. For 42 years, 

she has worked at Pepperdine, 

starting as the women’s athletic 

director and serving now as an associate 

professor and pre-health 

advisor. 

“Professor Nelson is an expert 

Pepperdine professor Laurie Nelson (right) and her weightlifting 

coach Bob Takano pose for the camera at the USA nationals in 2016. 


in assisting students interested in 

the health professions — whether 

it be medicine, physical therapy, 

physician’s assistant, nursing, occupational 

therapy, dentistry, or 

veterinary medicine — decide 

what profession would be the 

best fit for them,” said Priscilla 

G. MacRae, a fellow professor at 

Pepperdine. 

By all her academic and sportenthusiast 

colleagues’ accounts, 

Nelson is amazingly indefatigable. 

“I have known Laurie for 42 

years, first as a professor and 

mentor when I attended Pepperdine 

as an undergraduate, then 

as a colleague in sports medicine 

and as a training buddy and friend 

at CrossFit Malibu where she always 

outperforms me, though I 

am 10 years younger,” MacRae 

said. 

Nelson is matter of fact when 

asked why she chose to try competitive 

weightlifting and Cross- 

Fit at her age. 

“I wanted to inspire myself and 

other older adults to get moving 

and be fit,” Nelson answered. “I 

knew I could do it and I know 

others can too.” 

She started CrossFit training 

slowly, unsure it was for her. 

“I joined Malibu CrossFit in 

2010 when Mike Anderson started 

it,” she said. “I just came to try 

it. I did a beginning class for one 

month. I noticed I got a lot more 

fit even after one month. So, I decided 

to keep going. 

“One day, I looked up what 

women my age in the competition 

were doing. I realized I could do 

what they were doing.” 

CrossFit competition is extremely 

taxing. 

“They can ask anything of 

you,” Nelson said. “You may 

have to do pull-ups, push-ups, 

front and back squats, snatch, 

clean and jerk, overhead squats, 

rowing, running, jump roping, 

or the toughest of all, handstand 

push-ups.” 

With the help of Bob Takano, 

a world famous weightlifting 

coach, Anderson, and other professionals, 

Nelson has achieved, 

literally, what no other weightlifting 

competitor her age has 

achieved. 

“There is significance in the 

fact that Laurie, she was able to 

lift more than any woman her age 

and body weight has ever done,” 

Takano said. “This is providing us 

with information about the range 

of accomplishments for the species. 

She is a person of great integrity 

and understanding. These 

qualities attracted her to a sport 

that is all about revealing the 

truths about the competitor.” 

Laurie Nelson – a trailblazer, a 

quiet leader, an inspiration. 

Andrew Benton, president of 

Pepperdine, summarized the significance 

of Nelson’s accomplishments 

and the lady’s essence best: 

“Her humble demeanor and quiet 

way of going through the day 

hides the heart of a lion that powers 

her forward in competition.”

A match made in Portland 

Malibu couple 

brought together by 

racquetball, looks 

to grow sport 

Ryan Flynn 


When their romance began, 

they were both wearing 

goggles. 

By the time Malibu resident 

Cindy Tilbury met her 

future boyfriend, she was 

already deeply involved 

in the racquetball scene. 

Back when she was in her 

early 20s, Tilbury was introduced 

to the sport by her 

brother at the local YMCA, 

back in rural Minnesota. 

Immediately, she fell in 

love. 

“There are really great 

people who play it,” Tilbury 

said. “They are high energy, 

no one smokes. It’s sort of a 

competitive, yet very social 

kind of thing. In general, it 

is a sport for life.” 

Tilbury met Rick Betts, 

a California native, at a 

tournament in Portland. 

Betts, who started out playing 

tennis, also gravitated 

to racquetball at the behest 

of a friend and quickly became 

obsessed. 

“The first time I played 

it, I fell in love with it. You 

walk on the court and all of 

a sudden you hit this ball 

and see it flying all around 

the room and it’s like, ‘wow, 

this is fun,’” Betts said. 

The two met in Portland, 

and continued to bump into 

one another during stops 

on the racquetball tour. In 

2009, Betts finally made 

his move and asked Tilbury 

out during a tournament in 

“It’s sort of a competitive, yet 

very social kind of thing. In 

general, it is a sport for life.” 

Cindy Tilbury — Malibu resident, on racquetball 

Canoga Park. One of their 

first dates was — what else 

— watching a weekend of 

racquetball matches. 

Betts had box seats to 

watch the US Open in 

Memphis and invited Tilbury 

to fly in and join him. 

Together, they watched 

three or four hours of constant 

racquetball. 

“As we’re sitting there, 

watching another match, 

Cindy said ‘OK, so how 

many girls that you’ve 

dated would’ve sat here 

this long to watch racquetball?’” 

Betts said. 

None, he said. Zero. 

“I know that any other 

person would’ve thought 

that was the worst date 

ever,” Tilbury said. 

So, what is it about racquetball 

that they enjoy 

so much? Betts likens the 

game to a combination of 

tennis and billiards. Racquetball, 

as the name suggests, 

is a racquet sport 

much like tennis, but is for 

the most part played indoors 

in a closed room where the 

walls, floor and ceiling are 

legal bouncing surfaces for 

the hollow rubber ball. The 

billiards comparison comes 

from the strategy element 

of the game: using angles 

and timing shots to outsmart 

your opponent. 

“It requires skill as well 

as endurance,” Betts said. 

The couple believes that 

racquetball is due for a 

resurgence. It has had its 

chances, and was even once 

a favorite of Elvis Presley, 

who had his own racquetball 

building at his Graceland 

estate. 

Betts said the sport suffers 

because on television 

it is hard to track the movement 

of the ball, which often 

is moving at upwards 

of 100 miles per hour. This 

makes it difficult for racquetball 

to have the fan 

allure of something like 

tennis. As technology continues 

to advance, Betts 

says this will eventually be 

remedied. 

Public interest could also 

see an uptick if racquetball 

is accepted as an Olympic 

sport. Racquetball has thus 

far never been a medal 

sport, but could be a likely 

candidate. 

Racquetball, unlike dating, 

isn’t a contact sport, 

and it has a clear winner 

and loser. These days, Betts 

and Tilbury play in mixed 

doubles as a team more often 

than they play against 

each other. 

“I try to minimize the 

amount of time that I can be 

embarrassed,” Betts said. 

Tilbury moved to Malibu 

with Betts in 2010, and 

the couple has continued 

actively playing, as well 

as doing what they can to 

further the sport. Betts refers 

to them as “racquetball 

missionaries” because they 

aren’t just interested in the 

sport for themselves. 

Along with a few other 

investors, Betts and Tilbury 

recently purchased the 

International Racquetball 

Tour, which is the men’s 

professional tour. According 

to the IRT’s website, the 

tour features “300 players 

competing in over 20 Top- 

Tier and more than 50 Satellite 

tournaments in Latin 

America, the United States, 

and Canada.” Tilbury and 

Betts hope to someday purchase 

the woman’s tour and 

unite the two. 

In the meantime, they’ll 

continue playing. Tilbury 

and Betts frequent Bay 

Club in Canoga Park, and 

have both become prolific 

players in their age bracket. 

Tilbury in particular is the 

three-time USA Racquetball 

Association player 

of the year in the female, 

over-35 age group. 

“For me, it’s really nice 

to have your life partner 

sharing the same passion 

that you have,” Betts said. 

Malibu residents Rick Betts and Cindy Tilbury pose for 

a photo at a racquetball championship event in 2015.

Athlete of the Week 

10 Questions 

Malibuites’ team places seventh in 

paddleboard world championships 

with Ryder Sturges 

Ryder Sturges, 18, is a 

2017 Malibu graduate who 

played water polo and was 

on the surf team. 

How did you first get 

into water sports? 

I was born into a surfing 

family so that’s what I did 

growing up. I didn’t start 

playing water polo until 

the eighth grade when my 

friends introduced me to it. 

How often do you surf, 

and where? 

I try to surf every day or 

whenever there are waves. 

I surf all over the place 

around Malibu. 

Does any one moment 

from your water polo 

season last year stand 

out? 

There’s not one moment, 

but the group of guys I 

played with, and my coach, 

I will remember for the rest 

of my life. 

What did you like 

about going to school 

in Malibu? 

I liked how small it was. 

Everyone knew everyone 

and everyone was friendly 

and not very exclusive. 

Are you going to 

college in the fall? 

Yeah, I’m going to Mesa 

Community College in San 

Diego. 

So would you say 

there’s any mental 

benefits of surfing? 

Like, do you find it 

meditative? 

I’m not sure of that, but I 

do know every single time 

I get out of the water I feel 

better than when I get in. 

Where in the world 

would you most like to 

travel? 

I really want to go to 

western Australia. It’s super 

remote and there’s some really 

good waves there. 

Did things you learned 

22nd Century Media File Photo 

surfing help at all with 

water polo? Or vice 

versa? 

Yeah, totally. Water polo 

taught me to be patient and 

I think that helps with surfing. 

What is your dream 

job? 

Pro surfer, for sure. 

What’s the best advice 

you’ve ever gotten? 

Try not to take life so seriously. 

Interview by Freelance Reporter 

Ryan Flynn. 

Barbara Burke 


“If you can dream it, you 

can do it,” said Ryan Addison, 

of Malibu. 

Addison and Lockwood 

Holmes placed seventh in 

the team division of the 

Molokai 2 Oahu Paddleboard 

World Championships 

on Sunday, July 30. 

The paddleboard race 

is an arduous, open-ocean 

endurance trek of 32 miles 

across the Ka’iwi Channel, 

also known as the Moloka’i 

Channel. This year, 300 

racers braved the journey 

and both prone and stand 

up paddleboarders from 

around the world competed 

in solo and team divisions. 

Malibu’s Tuffer Marsolek 

did the race solo. 

Each contestant had to 

navigate through the fastest 

downward route as they 

crossed over one of the 

world’s deepest channels, 

measuring up to 2,300 feet 

deep. Mid-channel waves 

can crest up to 12 feet in 

height. 

Addison and Holmes 

paddled to support Callie’s 

Cause, a nonprofit charity 

that the Addison family 

formed to support 4-yearold 

Callie Addison, who 

has Dravet syndrome, a 

rare form of epilepsy. 

When the pair reached 

the mid-channel range, Addison 

posted on Facebook: 

“Mid Channel Molokai. 

Wind 15-20 mph. Good 

bump. Not sure our place. 

We’re up there!” 

The pair assiduously carried 

on, paddling, paddling, 

paddling, the wind bouncing 

them around, sea salt 

lapping everywhere, and 

the waves cresting unpre-

dictably. 

The challenge is great 

and the experience wears 

one out, but Addison and 

Holmes remained undaunted. 

“Once I saw our rival, 

I saw red. I told myself 

it was time to gap these 

guys,” Addison said. “For 

my next leg, I paddled off 

of pure emotion. My arms 

were hurting but my brain 

took over. Pain is temporary. 

That fired Lockwood 

up and he crushed his paddle 

when it was his turn.” 

When someone participates 

in such a marathon, 

onlookers wonder what is 

going through the contestant’s 

mind. 

“I was thinking about a 

bunch of things out there,” 

Addison said. “Competition, 

staying consistent 

while paddling. When 

things got close with 

the other Californians, I 

thought about my wife, 

[my son] Bodie and Callie. 

I thought how painful epilepsy 

is and that my pain of 

paddling was nowhere near 

the pain of epilepsy.” 

Ultimately, Addison and 

Holmes finished seventh in 

their team division, posting 

a time of 5:56:07. Amazingly, 

they had been paddling 

in tumultuous waves 

for almost six hours. 

Recapping the event, Addison 

reflected, feeling exhausted 

but exhilarated. 

“The weather was great 

and sunny; we had winds of 

15 to 20 knots in our favor,” 

Addison said. “Because 

of the tide, we ran a little 

higher line on GPS and 

once the tide switched, we 

dropped down to 10-minute 

sprints. 

“That opened the gap 

more in our favor. The difficulties 

we faced were the 

heat and the hard 10-to-20 

sprint intervals.” 

Overall, the pair had an 

excellent race. 

Addison posted about 

the team’s finish, saying he 

was pleased to do so well 

against teams with former 

record-breaking winners. 

“This was very deep and 

emotional for me,” Addison 

posted. “I paddled for 

special needs kids and their 

families. Epilepsy families 

have a huge burden on 

them. It’s a whole family 

burden. 

“I’m grateful to my wife 

Darlene for giving me the 

green light. Thank you @ 

lockwoodholmesjr for asking 

me to paddle and forcing 

me off the couch. I want 

to thank everyone for well 

wishes and love for my 

family.”

on the environment. Therefore, the project is categorically exempt from the provisions of CEQA pursuant to

that none of the six exceptions to the use of a categorical exemption apply to this project (CEQA Guidelines 

Section 15300.2). 

A written staff report will be available at or before the hearing. Following an oral staff report at the beginning 

of the hearing, the appellants may be given up to 15 minutes to make a presentation. Any amount of 

that time may be saved for rebuttal. All other persons wishing to address the Council will be provided three 

minutes to address the Council. These time limits may be changed at the discretion of the Council. At the 

conclusion of the testimony, the Council will deliberate and its decision will be memorialized in a written 

resolution.
