malibu Planning Commission special meeting<br />

Commissioners OK retail ordinance by 4-1 vote<br />

Mazza makes minor<br />

tweaks to resemble<br />

Measure R intent<br />

Lauren Coughlin, Editor<br />

Malibu’s Measure R is<br />

dead.<br />

But Malibu Planning<br />

Commission member John<br />

Mazza looked to legally<br />

save some scraps of it when<br />

the commission met for a<br />

special meeting Monday,<br />

Oct. 30, to mull staff’s revamped<br />

formula retail ordinance.<br />

Mazza — who said he<br />

wanted “to keep this as<br />

close to Measure R as possible<br />

without impacting legal<br />

status” — added four<br />

amendments, which ultimately<br />

gained 4-1 commission<br />

approval, with Commissioner<br />

Jeffrey Jennings<br />

voting “no.”<br />

Mazza noted that he<br />

spoke with City Attorney<br />

Christi Hogin regarding<br />

each proposed amendment.<br />

Mazza’s motions replaced<br />

two sections of language<br />

— one that outlined<br />

the definition of a shopping<br />

center and another which<br />

had to do with details surrounding<br />

a formula retail<br />

Owe more than $10,000 in back taxes?<br />

$50<br />

cash back<br />

upon sign-up<br />

Some finer details of the newly proposed formula retail code:<br />

• The code applies city-wide.<br />

to take advantage of an additional<br />

• It limits formula retail businesses 1,000 square feet for a total of<br />

— those that have more than 10 3,500 square feet.<br />

locations throughout the world — to • Formula retail stores must apply<br />

30 percent of a gross floor area for and obtain a Formula Retail<br />

within a given shopping center. Clearance before operating to ensure<br />

• Businesses will be limited to 2,500 compliance. New businesses of the<br />

square feet of gross floor area, same type may take over the same<br />

but those that have more than<br />

location without seeking a new<br />

50 percent of unique-to-Malibu Formula Retail Clearance as long as<br />

merchandise or services are able the gross floor area is not increased.<br />

$10K MINIMUM IN BACK TAXES<br />

clearance, which is required<br />

for all non-exempt<br />

businesses — with Measure<br />

R language.<br />

Then, to avoid giving<br />

shopping centers a “monopoly,”<br />

Mazza amended a<br />

section regarding allowable<br />

retail uses within 500 feet<br />

of each other.<br />

“The reason I’m doing<br />

this language, just so you<br />

understand, is if you have<br />

a retail establishment that’s<br />

not in a shopping center<br />

that’s near a shopping center<br />

... you would not be able<br />

to have formula retail —<br />

and that gives a monopoly<br />

to the shopping centers,”<br />

Mazza said at the meeting.<br />

Finally, Mazza moved<br />

to require that retail clearances<br />

must be noticed and<br />

reported to the Planning<br />

Commission within 30<br />

days.<br />

While Hogin was clear<br />

that the commission could<br />

not be a decision-making<br />

authority on individual<br />

retailers’ plans, this addition<br />

still allows for public<br />

transparency and the ability<br />

for the commission to ask<br />

questions, he said.<br />

“We can’t turn it down,<br />

because that’s illegal,”<br />

Mazza added.<br />

Staff will also add a land<br />

Exempt businesses<br />

under the new<br />

formula retail code:<br />

• Grocery stores<br />

• Drug stores/<br />

pharmacies<br />

• Gas stations<br />

• Banks and financial<br />

services<br />

• Real estate offices<br />

• Movie theaters<br />

use table which outlines<br />

land use categories.<br />

Under the new code, “A<br />

formula retail clearance is<br />

transferrable to a new business<br />

in the same land use<br />

category located at the exact<br />

same location or tenant<br />

space, so long as the square<br />

footage of the gross floor<br />

area is not increased.”<br />

“The guts of the thing is<br />

in that table and how specific<br />

that table is going to<br />

be,” Jennings commented.<br />

This portion of the new<br />

code is in response to the<br />

court’s finding that Measure<br />

R was illegal in that it<br />

did not allow a conditional<br />

use permit to be transferrable<br />

to a new business of<br />

the same nature.<br />

“The court of appeal<br />

found that this limitation<br />

violated state law on CUPs<br />

because CUPs cannot attach<br />

to a specific permitee and<br />

must run with the land,” an<br />

agenda supplement states.<br />

“The proposed ordinance<br />

avoids these characteristics<br />

which proved fatal for<br />

Measure R.”<br />

Public reaction to the<br />

code was mixed.<br />

Some, including those on<br />

the anti-Measure R side of<br />

the lawsuit, suggested that<br />

the ordinance still toed the<br />

• Postal service offices<br />

• Medical offices<br />

• Legally established<br />

formula retail<br />

businesses that exist<br />

as of Nov. 1, 2017<br />

(unless the business<br />

expands or ceases<br />

operation)<br />

* Information obtained from<br />

commission agenda report<br />

line of the components of<br />

Measure R which were<br />

found to be illegal.<br />

“I’m asking you to put<br />

me and lawyers like me out<br />

of the business of challenging<br />

Malibu formula retail<br />

ordinance,” said Attorney<br />

Marshall Camp.<br />

Several also referenced<br />

vacancies, including the<br />

recent loss of Malibu’s lone<br />

movie theater.<br />

“We’re here to listen,”<br />

Whole Foods developer<br />

Steve Soboroff said. “We’re<br />

here to work with you.”<br />

“In the end, a healthy<br />

community needs a diverse<br />

mix of tenants,” he added.<br />

“Without it, it doesn’t work<br />

for anybody.”<br />

Other public speakers,<br />

who were pro-Measure R,<br />

wondered why towns like<br />

Ojai were able to have an<br />

ordinance that restricted<br />

chain stores, yet Malibu<br />

was not.<br />

“I think it anything’s<br />

too large, it will destroy<br />

the small-town feel of our<br />

community,” resident Patt<br />

Healy said.<br />

The code will now head<br />

to City Council for further<br />

scrutiny.<br />

NPS mulls how to tackle invasive plants in Santa Monicas<br />

Plan’s online<br />

comment period<br />

open through Dec. 1<br />

Suzanne Guldimann<br />

Freelance Reporter<br />

The National Park Service<br />

has released a new<br />

environmental assessment<br />

and invasive plant management<br />

plan for the Santa<br />

Monica Mountains National<br />

Recreation Area, and is<br />

seeking public input.<br />

The plan is unusual<br />

because it combines the<br />

SMMNRA with Northern<br />

California’s Redwood<br />

National Park. However,<br />

while the two park systems<br />

are at opposite ends of the<br />

state, park officials say<br />

grouping them together for<br />

the purpose of the study<br />

makes sense because both<br />

areas are experiencing<br />

similar issues with nonnative<br />

plants.<br />

The newly released report<br />

incorporates input<br />

gathered in 2013, when the<br />

study was initiated.<br />

“Early in this process,<br />

we asked for public input<br />

regarding issues of concern<br />

and feedback on the<br />

preliminary alternatives<br />

we developed,” a press release<br />

for the project states.<br />

“Using the feedback we<br />

received during that initial<br />

public scoping effort, and<br />

input from an interdisciplinary<br />

planning team,<br />

we considered a range of<br />

alternatives and analyzed<br />

the potential impacts of<br />

those alternatives.<br />

The alternatives, described<br />

in detail in the 330-<br />

page report, range from<br />

a zero option, where current<br />

policy is continued,<br />

to hungry goats for weed<br />

control, but also appears to<br />

include a heavy reliance on<br />

herbicides.<br />

The goal of the plan is<br />

to, “Prevent introduction<br />

and establishment of new<br />

invasive plant populations<br />

or species within the park;<br />

remove invasive plant populations<br />

that are threatening<br />

rare or sensitive native<br />

species or habitats; eradicate<br />

invasive populations<br />

that are currently present<br />

in low numbers within the<br />

park; and prevent expansion<br />

of current invasive<br />

plant populations.<br />

It’s a monumental undertaking.<br />

Many invasive<br />

species are already entrenched<br />

in the environment<br />

and the SMMNRA<br />

does not currently have a<br />

formal plan for managing<br />

dozens of invasive and potential<br />

invasive nonnative<br />

species, relying instead on<br />

park staff to identify and<br />

cope with infestations on<br />

a case-by-case basis, while<br />

new problems continue to<br />

crop up.<br />

The preferred alternative<br />

recommends practical<br />

measures like using weedfree<br />

mulch, gravel and<br />

other materials; cleaning<br />

and inspecting park service<br />

and contractor vehicles,<br />

tools and equipment<br />

to help prevent the spread<br />

of seeds; hand weeding<br />

in sensitive areas; and the<br />

goats, which would have<br />

to be certified healthy and<br />

carefully monitored.<br />

However, the preferred<br />

option would also permit<br />

the use of 13 herbicides.<br />

In the Malibu area, “control<br />

techniques would<br />

continue using three herbicides:<br />

glyphosate, plus<br />

much more limited use<br />

of aminopyralid, and triclopyr<br />

BEE. Glyphosate,<br />

a potential carcinogen that<br />

has been banned or limited<br />

in a number of countries<br />

and is currently the focus<br />

of environmental activists<br />

in California who are<br />

seeking to ban it here. The<br />

chemical was added to the<br />

state’s list of known cancer<br />

agents in July of this year.<br />

Its use in the Santa Monica<br />

Mountains is controversial,<br />

with groups like Poison<br />

Free Malibu and the<br />

Topanga Watershed Coalition<br />

pushing back against<br />

government agencies like<br />

the California Department<br />

of Transportation and state<br />

and national parks over its<br />

use, even when limited to<br />

small areas.<br />

The plan states that “additional<br />

or new herbicides<br />

may be added to the list as<br />

they become available,”<br />

and that “all additional or<br />

new herbicides would be<br />

evaluated through the NPS<br />

Pesticide Use Proposal<br />

System, and in consultation<br />

with appropriate regulatory<br />

agencies.”<br />

Malibu High School battles rat infestation<br />

SMMUSD’s use of<br />

rodenticide raises<br />

some concerns<br />

Eric Billingsley<br />

Freelance Reporter<br />

Malibu High School’s<br />

campus improvements<br />

have led to some unintended<br />

consequences: Construction<br />

has disturbed rat<br />

habitats and increased the<br />

number of rodents finding<br />

their way into buildings,<br />

trash cans and anywhere<br />

else they can at the school.<br />

So, Santa Monica-Malibu<br />

Unified School District<br />

launched an aggressive rodent<br />

eradication program<br />

that includes public outreach,<br />

the use of traps, pesticides<br />

and a variety of other<br />

preventative measures.<br />

“At the end of the day I<br />

was asked to ramp up [eradication<br />

efforts] given the<br />

information I received from<br />

parents and students,” said<br />

Dr. Ben Drati, superintendent<br />

of SMMUSD, during<br />

a special public meeting at<br />

MHS on Wednesday, Oct. 5.<br />

“We’re being overrun.”<br />

But while parents and<br />

teachers appreciate the district’s<br />

action on the issue,<br />

some are concerned about<br />

the use of pesticides.<br />

MHS campus improvements<br />

include: installation<br />

of a new track, construction<br />

of a new parking lot, demolition<br />

of multiple buildings,<br />

modernization of multiple<br />

buildings, construction of<br />

new buildings, and abatement<br />

of toxic polychlorinated<br />

biphenyls, among<br />

other projects.<br />

The improvements are<br />

largely moving forward as<br />

planned, despite the district<br />

hitting some unexpected<br />

delays.<br />

“Over the next two-anda-half<br />

years, you’re going to<br />

see a major transformation,”<br />

said Roger Banuelos, senior<br />

project manager of the MHS<br />

improvement projects.<br />

However, following<br />

demolition of buildings,<br />

teachers reported seeing an<br />

increasing number of rat<br />

droppings and rats caught<br />

in traps on campus and in<br />

classrooms. Most of the rodent<br />

activity seemed to be<br />

occurring at night and when<br />

nobody is at the school.<br />

To date, MHS has<br />

trimmed trees, educated<br />

students and faculty to<br />

monitor trash cans and keep<br />

classroom doors closed, installed<br />

30 door sweeps, attempted<br />

to find and seal rodent<br />

entry points, installed<br />

sticky traps and spring<br />

traps, and began using the<br />

rodenticide Terad3, which<br />

contains Vitamin D3 to kill<br />

rats and mice.<br />

The school also added<br />

another custodian to check<br />

traps early in the morning<br />

before teachers and students<br />

arrive.<br />

Drati said during the public<br />

meeting that the district,<br />

knowing public sentiment<br />

in Malibu toward chemicals<br />

and pesticides, only<br />

chose to use the rodenticide<br />

as a last resort.<br />

“We didn’t do this until<br />

we were overrun,” he said.<br />

But his argument was not<br />

acceptable to some who attended<br />

the public meeting.<br />

“Poisons, in general, do<br />

nothing to solve the problem,”<br />

said Poison Free Malibu<br />

co-founder Kian Schulman.<br />

“Trash control is the<br />

main way of controlling.”<br />

She said increasing sanitation<br />

efforts and excluding<br />

things on campus that<br />

attract rodents are the first<br />

steps that need to be taken.<br />

The school has had ongoing<br />

problems with trash<br />

cans not being locked and<br />

properly sealed.<br />

Schulman also said Vitamin<br />

D3 is a “very questionable”<br />

pesticide, and she<br />

objects to the use of sticky<br />

traps because they are cruel<br />

to animals.<br />

Other attendees expressed<br />

concern about whether or<br />

not the rodenticide can be<br />

passed along to students<br />

through rat droppings. They<br />

also encouraged Drati to<br />

consider putting together<br />

an oversight committee of<br />

teachers, school staff, students<br />

and others to work on<br />

developing solutions to issues<br />

like this.<br />

Drati listened to all of the<br />

concerns and recommendations.<br />

He agrees the culture of<br />

the school needs to change,<br />

in regard to how it deals<br />

with trash, sanitation and<br />

other issues that attract<br />

rodents. But, for now, he<br />

has no plans to halt use of<br />

the rodenticide as part of a<br />

larger eradication place.<br />

“I will take responsibility<br />

for [deciding to use<br />

the chemical],” said Drati,<br />

adding the situation has<br />

reached a critical level<br />

where the district needs<br />

to stop the infestation as<br />

quickly as possible.

expected hundreds of<br />

parents and children from<br />

to attend.<br />

“This is a great family<br />

Nate Walton, who attended<br />

with his wife, Ali, and their<br />

2-year-old daughter.<br />

The family recently<br />

moved to Malibu from<br />

appreciated that it’s a safe,<br />

His daughter also loves<br />

pumpkins and balloons,<br />

and there was no shortage<br />

of both on Saturday.<br />

Jessica Escobar and Jenny<br />

Kessler attended with<br />

their 3-year-old daughters.<br />

The children were<br />

enthralled with the giant<br />

The event was extra special<br />

for Escobar, who used<br />

to be a student at Our Lady<br />

of Malibu School and participate<br />

in fall festivals.<br />

This was the first time she<br />

was able to bring her own<br />

daughter to the festivities.<br />

“[The festival] brings<br />

back so many memories,<br />

which is the coolest part,”<br />

Escobar said. “It’s not just<br />

a school event; it’s a community<br />

event.”<br />

In the early part of the<br />

afternoon, Duane Betts and<br />

the Pistoleers performed<br />

on stage, young children<br />

dragged parents from one<br />

ride to another and groups<br />

of tweens milled about on<br />

their own.<br />

The festival was just getting<br />

started, but the level<br />

of excitement was high.<br />

Kylie Morra, 10, attends<br />

Webster Elementary across<br />

the road from Our Lady of<br />

Malibu School. She has a<br />

lot of friends from Webster<br />

who attend the festival<br />

each year, and she knows<br />

many of the students from<br />

Our Lady of Malibu.<br />

“It’s just so fun,” Morra<br />

said. “I love riding the<br />

slide and playing games.<br />

And a lot of my friends<br />

come.”<br />

Morra was one of the<br />

children who braved the<br />

zip line. She had an ear-toear<br />

grin on her face as she<br />

descended from the multistory<br />

starting point of the<br />

zip line, reached the bottom,<br />

stopped abruptly and<br />

dangled from the ride.<br />

Helena Joujon-Rosche,<br />

10, and Mia Turturici<br />

loved the haunted house<br />

and zip line. They said the<br />

best part of the festival,<br />

however, is seeing friends.<br />

Cate Obrien, one of the<br />

parent volunteers, has a<br />

13-year-old son who was<br />

working in the haunted<br />

house. Obrien also floated<br />

from working at one ride<br />

or booth to another. She<br />

said the event provides a<br />

very important element to<br />

the fundraising process.<br />

“It’s a great opportunity<br />

for families and the community<br />

to come together,”<br />

Obrien said. “It’s about enjoying<br />

people’s company<br />

rather than just handing<br />

over a check.”<br />

of the Malibu Veterans<br />

Day Committee.<br />

The free ceremony, being<br />

held indoors at Malibu City<br />

Hall this year, will begin<br />

promptly at 11 a.m. Veterans<br />

are invited to arrive up<br />

to an hour early to be greeted<br />

and seated.<br />

“With the heat and all<br />

that it’s going to be nice<br />

and air conditioned, so I<br />

think the veterans are going<br />

to be a lot more comfortable,”<br />

Dermenjian said.<br />

This year, the event’s<br />

theme is “Honoring Veterans<br />

Who Continue to<br />

Serve.” Five veterans will<br />

speak during the event (see<br />

the speakers’ biographies in<br />

the sidebar on this page).<br />

Entertainment will also be<br />

provided by students from<br />

Our Lady of Malibu, Malibu<br />

High School and Pepperdine<br />

University. Meawhile,<br />

local Boy Scots and Cub<br />

Scouts will perform a flag<br />

salute and thank the veterans<br />

for their service.<br />

A light lunch and refreshments<br />

will be served from<br />

12:30-1:30 p.m.<br />

Dermenjian is particularly<br />

proud of how the ceremony’s<br />

attendance has grown.<br />

Eighteen years ago, she recalled,<br />

roughly 40 people<br />

attended the first ceremony.<br />

Dermenjian also recalls<br />

that in the event’s early<br />

Raising a glass for local vintners<br />

Malibu-area wines<br />

to be showcased<br />

at annual Wine<br />

Celebration<br />

Lauren Coughlin, Editor<br />

In Malibu, wine merits a<br />

celebration all its own.<br />

From 1-5 p.m. on Sunday,<br />

Nov. 12, local winemakers<br />

will gather for the<br />

Malibu Coast Vintners &<br />

Grape Growers Alliance’s<br />

third annual Wine Celebration<br />

fundraiser. The event,<br />

which will showcase more<br />

than 50 varietals from 20-<br />

plus Malibu Coast American<br />

Viticultural Area wineries,<br />

will be at Triunfo<br />

Creek Vineyards, 2714<br />

Triunfo Canyon Road, in<br />

Agoura Hills.<br />

“These are all family-owned<br />

operations so<br />

you are connecting with<br />

people who are stewards<br />

of the land and are responsible<br />

farmers who<br />

produce wine,” explained<br />

John Gooden, president<br />

of the alliance and owner<br />

of Montage Vineyards in<br />

Malibu. “I think it’s always<br />

a fun event to come to and<br />

learn how these wines are<br />

produced and taste them.”<br />

The Wine Celebration<br />

will also include food offerings<br />

from Michael’s<br />

Santa Monica, Aroha New<br />

Zealand Cuisine, Sarah’s<br />

Cupcakes and 805 Catering<br />

Company. Music will<br />

be performed by classic<br />

rock band The Vinyl Gypsies.<br />

Malibu winery owner<br />

George Rosenthal, of<br />

Rosenthal The Malibu Estate,<br />

will also be honored<br />

at the event with the Pioneer<br />

Award.<br />

“George was really a visionary<br />

and one of the first<br />

people to plant what I would<br />

call a modern-day vineyard<br />

in Malibu,” Gooden said.<br />

“ ... He understands that<br />

Malibu has always been a<br />

unique place and his desire<br />

to preserve the uniqueness<br />

of Malibu by farming his<br />

land I think is one of the<br />

main reasons that we chose<br />

to honor him.”<br />

Rosenthal, whose 28-<br />

acre vineyard has been<br />

in Malibu since 1987, is<br />

humbled by the award. The<br />

Santa Monica resident said<br />

he first came to consider<br />

planting in Malibu due to<br />

several “serendipitous circumstances.”<br />

Rosenthal<br />

and the vineyard manager<br />

studied the area, its soil<br />

conditions, its climate and<br />

what types of vines would<br />

thrive for a couple years<br />

before planting vines.<br />

“There was a lot of research<br />

that was done in<br />

order to establish the vineyard<br />

originally, and I guess<br />

that choice was pretty<br />

good,” Rosenthal said.<br />

“It’s been an accomplishment<br />

for me over the years<br />

that gives me great personal<br />

satisfaction.”<br />

Rosenthal wines are<br />

made of grapes that have<br />

their very own American<br />

Viticulture Area: Malibu-<br />

Newton Canyon. With an<br />

elevation of 1,450 feet<br />

above sea level, Rosenthal<br />

said his winery specializes<br />

in varietals including Cabernet<br />

Sauvignon, Cabernet<br />

Franc, Merlot, Chardonnay<br />

and Viognier.<br />

“It’s a question of balancing<br />

what the climate<br />

wants to tell you, because<br />

at the end of the day it’s nature<br />

that tells you whether<br />

you’re going to have good<br />

crop or bad crop,” Rosenthal<br />

said. “ ... It is an intense<br />

farming operation in<br />

order to get consistency<br />

and in order to get the best<br />

[wine] that you’re able to.”<br />

The Malibu Coast AVA<br />

— an agriculturally-zoned<br />

region in Los Angeles and<br />

Ventura counties — was<br />

designated by the Department<br />

of the Treasury in<br />

2014 as a unique area for<br />

grape growing. It comprises<br />

roughly 50 vineyards,<br />

all of which are diverse<br />

in their offerings, as they<br />

reside at a wide range of<br />

elevations.<br />

“There are only a handful<br />

of varietals that are not<br />

really grown in the Malibu<br />

Coast AVA,” Gooden said.<br />

Gooden’s Montage<br />

Vineyards, which is located<br />

on the Malibu coast<br />

(480 feet above sea level),<br />

takes pride in its Viognier<br />

as well as its Syrah and Pinot<br />

Noir varietals.<br />

Overall, Gooden explains<br />

that whites and<br />

lighter reds such as Pinot<br />

Noir tend to thrive along<br />

the coast, while bolder<br />

reds such as Merlot and<br />

Cabernet wines are popular<br />

at high-elevation wineries.<br />

Syrah and Chardonnay<br />

are also particularly<br />

popular in the area as a<br />

whole, Gooden added.<br />

The Malibu Coast Vintners<br />

& Grape Growers Alliance<br />

is a nonprofit which<br />

supports area wineries’<br />

operations and facilitates<br />

public education about<br />

wines in the Malibu Coast<br />

AVA.<br />

Tickets to the Wine Celebration<br />

are $75. It is recommended<br />

that attendees<br />

purchase tickets ahead of<br />

the event, as quantities are<br />

limited. Any remaining<br />

tickets will be available<br />

at the door. To purchase<br />

Business Briefs<br />

Allstate Insurance opens<br />

Malibu office<br />

Allstate Agency: Coast<br />

to Canyon Insurance Services<br />

was to open its new<br />

office in Malibu on Monday,<br />

Nov. 1.<br />

The office, located at<br />

29170 Heathercliff Road,<br />

#C, is led by Robert Feldman,<br />

a high-risk insurance<br />

specialist.<br />

Feldman has 18 years of<br />

experience with Allstate and<br />

prides himself on providing<br />

personal service for those in<br />

the communities he serves.<br />

Feldman and his Allstate<br />

team are among the<br />

few California agents who<br />

offer a superior insurance<br />

program that eliminates the<br />

need for the CA Fair Plan<br />

for single-family homes in<br />

Malibu.<br />

Further, Feldman’s Malibu<br />

agency, Coast to Canyon<br />

Insurance Services, specializes<br />

in difficult-to-insure<br />

homes that have been<br />

refused coverages by other<br />

carriers.<br />

Feldman is also available<br />

to any groups who want to<br />

learn about risk management<br />

and possible gaps in<br />

their home or business’ insurance.<br />

“People call me all the<br />

time with tricky insurance<br />

questions, and we investigate<br />

these for them,” Feldman<br />

said, according to a<br />

release. “We can usually<br />

help, as we have access to<br />

insurance policies through<br />

unique insurance carriers.<br />

If our agency cannot be of<br />

assistance, we have a great<br />

referral network, and can<br />

put them in touch with another<br />

industry expert.”<br />

Brokerage highlights Q3<br />

market trends<br />

Malibu and Malibu<br />

Beach real estate saw a lack<br />

of inventory alongside rising<br />

price trends in Quarter<br />

3, according to an Oct. 26<br />

release from Douglas Elliman<br />

Real Estate.<br />

“Malibu sales and price<br />

trends moved higher with<br />

tighter marketing time and<br />

less negotiability,” the release<br />

states.<br />

Malibu Beach — which<br />

consists of Zuma Beach,<br />

Surfrider Beach, Malibu<br />

Beach, Dan Blocker Beach,<br />

Point Dume Beach, and Topanga<br />

Beach — reportedly<br />

saw a lack of inventory and<br />

large sales which pressed<br />

price trends higher.<br />

On a broader scale, the<br />

Los Angeles area saw a<br />

drop in the number of days<br />

properties spent on the<br />

market. Trends also indicated<br />

that Q3 was the 21st<br />

straight quarter to show<br />

year-over-year median<br />

sales growth in the region.<br />

The the greater Los Angeles<br />

area as a whole, the<br />

report tracked a 5.6-percent<br />

year-over-year increase in<br />

the average sales price at<br />

$2,307,571. The number of<br />

sales was also up by 27.8<br />

percent, and the number of<br />

days a home spent on the<br />

market dropped from 64 to<br />

58 compared to a year prior.<br />

numbers of their<br />

both teams.<br />

Remarkable though<br />

for the cost of living<br />

in our city by the sea.<br />

The numbers in question<br />

These individuals may<br />

88 or 99.<br />

To hear the sirens of<br />

their trucks is to hear the<br />

“Ride of the Valkyries,”<br />

as they pierce the darkness<br />

and penetrate clouds<br />

of black smoke to repel<br />

the enemy, so we may<br />

not reap the whirlwind of<br />

our collective wrongs and<br />

violations of our covenant<br />

with the Earth.<br />

Those sirens are no<br />

siren song of deception.<br />

Those sounds are, instead,<br />

the battle cry of the few<br />

— the proud and the true.<br />

It is no exaggeration to<br />

speak of these men this<br />

way, because no words<br />

are strong enough to<br />

express the determination<br />

of these men who thrust<br />

themselves into combat,<br />

who throw themselves<br />

into a conflict as old as the<br />

Scriptures and as new as<br />

the latest conflagration.<br />

Let us, therefore,<br />

commit those numbers<br />

to memory, since such a<br />

small number of people<br />

commit themselves to our<br />

safety.<br />

These individuals<br />

volunteer to do their duty,<br />

free of a draft or the diktats<br />

of the government.<br />

That fact is a testament<br />

to their courage and<br />

integrity. It proves their<br />

professionalism more than<br />

any display of ribbons or<br />

awards.<br />

If seeing is believing,<br />

count me among the faithful.<br />

Count me among the<br />

congregants who salute<br />

this band of heroes.<br />

Count me among the<br />

residents of Malibu who<br />

tip our caps whenever we<br />

see the helmets worn by<br />

those from 70, 71, 88 and<br />

99 — because all of these<br />

individuals give their all to<br />

rescue us all.<br />

Don’t Panic, It’s Organic<br />

Garlic isn’t just for deterring vampires<br />

Andy Lopez<br />

Contributing Columnist<br />

Invisible Gardener<br />

Last week it was the<br />

ants. This week,<br />

we’re dealing with a<br />

pest of a different kind.<br />

Jill, of England, found<br />

me on Google and wrote<br />

to ask about a dilemma she<br />

and her horse are currently<br />

facing. She explained that<br />

her horse is plagued with<br />

sweet itch, an extremely<br />

uncomfortable reaction to<br />

a biting insect’s saliva.<br />

“It is absolutely awful<br />

and means that my horse<br />

has to be completely covered<br />

in a rug from spring to<br />

late October and covered<br />

in Neem Oil when ridden,”<br />

she wrote.<br />

But, yet another problem<br />

is that Neem oil stinks, and<br />

is really thick and greasy.<br />

“I read on your FAQ that<br />

diatom is not generally<br />

used as a mosquito repellent<br />

as there is no scent to<br />

Malibu Glass & Mirror 310.456.1844<br />

Come visit our showroom<br />

it, but my question is, if I<br />

were to dust my horse all<br />

over with diatom, what<br />

would happen?” Jill asked.<br />

“Would biting insects<br />

avoid contact with her and<br />

avoid landing on her? Or<br />

land on her but not bite her<br />

due to the diatom powder,<br />

or land on her bite her and<br />

then fly off and die?<br />

“If it is the latter it would<br />

not help her as I have to<br />

prevent her from being bitten<br />

to avoid the reaction.”<br />

OK, so let’s start with<br />

Diatomaceous Earth. There<br />

are three grades: pool,<br />

garden, and food grade.<br />

The pool grade is toxic,<br />

especially to the lungs and<br />

causes a fatal lung disease.<br />

Garden grade DE<br />

doesn’t have the toxins like<br />

the pool grade (which is<br />

added to the pool grade DE<br />

to make it work as a filter).<br />

But it is dust, and should<br />

not be breathed in or get in<br />

eyes. But it’s safe enough<br />

to use in the garden. Many<br />

folks use this on their<br />

horses, which I would<br />

not recommend since it is<br />

sharp enough to hurt their<br />

eyes if the wind were to<br />

blow it in them.<br />

The food grade is really<br />

meant to be eaten. Many,<br />

if not all, of the expensive<br />

horses are given this in their<br />

food. It deworms them as<br />

well as provides minerals,<br />

and, as an added benefit, it<br />

controls many insects that<br />

come from the manure. Especially<br />

flies! So food grade<br />

DE should be fed to your<br />

horse. You can lightly dust<br />

the horse with it, but not on<br />

windy days.<br />

For a chart on the correct<br />

quantities of DE to feed an<br />

animal, visit arbico.com.<br />

The sites also sell the DE,<br />

as well as the beneficials<br />

that will control the flies<br />

and other insects.<br />

The best thing to spray<br />

on a horse is garlic. Garlic<br />

Barrier is carried by Arbico,<br />

among others.<br />

It is important to find<br />

the proper dilution that<br />

will work without being<br />

stronger than necessary,<br />

mainly for the horse since<br />

I am sure it is no fun to<br />

reek of garlic. I would try<br />

1 ounce of Garlic Barrier<br />

per gallon.<br />

Try spraying on any flies<br />

to see if they die. They<br />

should die within a few<br />

minutes. Spray the horse<br />

directly, or spray a brush or<br />

cloth for use.<br />

Find what works and<br />

then use it often. I’d<br />

recommend reapplying<br />

daily, if not several times<br />

per day.<br />

Another option is to add<br />

a small amount of crushed<br />

garlic into his/her food.<br />

This will help him/her get<br />

used to the smell of garlic<br />

and will help keep insects<br />

at bay.<br />

I would also recommend<br />

making a misting system<br />

that will regularly mist<br />

the area. I would place it<br />

around the stable and along<br />

the fence. In the stables, it<br />

should be on the top of the<br />

ceiling so that it mists down.<br />

It should never be at eye<br />

level in case it goes on when<br />

the horse is looking. The<br />

mist will cover the area, and<br />

will also mist the horse.<br />

The first step is to get<br />

a fertigation unit, which<br />

attaches to the PVC pipes,<br />

which have misters every 4<br />

feet. Add half water and half<br />

Garlic Barrier to a 1-gallon<br />

fertigation unit. Moderate<br />

to determine the appropriate<br />

strength of the mixture.<br />

You can listen to my<br />

radio show from anywhere<br />

in the world. I will answer<br />

this on my next show, and<br />

it will be on the podcast,<br />

too. Just go to my website<br />

and click on radio show.<br />

I hope this helps.<br />

her more severe seizures,<br />

called status seizures, have<br />

lessened a lot.”<br />

Addison noted that a 20-<br />

year study in Belgium has<br />

indicated that patients with<br />

Dravet Syndrome may benefit<br />

from taking low doses<br />

of fenfluramine, a drug that<br />

was for a time prescribed to<br />

help people lose weight.<br />

Trainers Lauren Peterson<br />

and Michael Galate<br />

and yoga instructor Mary<br />

Pritchett got everyone going<br />

on their circuits.<br />

“Let’s get our sweat on<br />

for Callie,” said Lonnie<br />

Weinstock-Galate, owner<br />

of Malibu Fitness.<br />

Participants cycled out<br />

on the deck of the health<br />

club next to those trying<br />

their hand at TRX as upbeat<br />

music offered motivation to<br />

move.<br />

Those in the yoga room<br />

relaxed and stretched, taking<br />

in the peaceful moments<br />

and sharing in conversation.<br />

“We came to support the<br />

good cause and to focus on<br />

using conscious nutrition<br />

as well,” said Gosia Reed,<br />

owner of sponsor Gosha’s<br />

Organics.<br />

Fellow sponsor Rossana<br />

Radden, of Rossana’s Kitchen,<br />

spoke about the importance<br />

of a balanced diet.<br />

“The food I make is organic<br />

and if we give a nutritional<br />

diet, perhaps the<br />

effects of the disease may<br />

be a little lighter,” she said.<br />

“The food may give joy to<br />

their beautiful tummies to<br />

make them feel happy —<br />

it’s like a big hug for the<br />

children — and enjoying<br />

healthy food could support<br />

their families as well. It is<br />

an honor to do this.”<br />

SunLife Organics donated<br />

refreshments. The<br />

beautiful raffle prizes donated<br />

by many Malibu<br />

companies added to the<br />

funds raised to support the<br />

cause. Such monies will go<br />

to help families travel for<br />

their afflicted family member<br />

to participate in clinical<br />

trials, to defray other medical<br />

expenses and to support<br />

research efforts.<br />

Research distributed at<br />

the event noted that because<br />

individuals with Dravet<br />

Syndrome often require<br />

frequent therapies and multiple<br />

visits to address the<br />

symptoms of the disease,<br />

support from the greater<br />

community is pivotal to<br />

helping families meet the<br />

challenges.<br />

From the Editor<br />

The holiday madness is near —<br />

but first comes Veterans Day<br />

Lauren Coughlin<br />

lauren@malibusurfsidenews.com<br />

My, how the year<br />

has flown.<br />

As the<br />

calendar turns to November,<br />

I always brace<br />

myself for the fantastic,<br />

gratitude-filled whirlwind<br />

ahead. There’s a lot to<br />

be cherished this time of<br />

year, which is a credit to<br />

that old saying: “time flies<br />

when you’re having fun.”<br />

Now, as things move<br />

full speed ahead toward<br />

that wonderful turkey- and<br />

stuffing-filled day, I wish<br />

to remind you that one<br />

incredibly important day<br />

occurs this month: Veterans<br />

Day.<br />

This year, the special<br />

day falls on Saturday,<br />

Nov. 11, and Malibu’s<br />

ceremony will be held<br />

indoors at the City Hall.<br />

I encourage you to check<br />

out the full details of the<br />

event on Page 11, and to<br />

mark your calendars for<br />

the important event.<br />

As we head toward the<br />

season of gratitude, the<br />

least we can do is thank<br />

those who have given us<br />

the freedom to so heartily<br />

enjoy this blessed time.<br />

Plus, the event includes a<br />

lot of adorable, tiny patriots<br />

whose performances<br />

you won’t want to miss.<br />

But let’s backtrack a bit<br />

to Halloween, the event<br />

that serves as a starting<br />

point to all of the hectic,<br />

holiday fun.<br />

Due to our print deadlines,<br />

I write this editorial<br />

a few days before Oct. 31,<br />

but I can already safely<br />

say that this Halloween<br />

in Malibu has been a<br />

spectacular marvel. The<br />

build-up to the holiday is<br />

truly special in this city,<br />

and I have to tip my hat<br />

to the many community<br />

organizations, businesses<br />

and schools that get in<br />

on the festive fun, as it<br />

only seems to get bigger<br />

and better. And judging<br />

from the toothy grins we<br />

capture at each Halloween<br />

event, it’s not an effort<br />

that goes unappreciated.<br />

Our fabulous staff has<br />

been running to and fro<br />

to try to capture all of the<br />

seasonal spirit, but if we<br />

missed a one-of-a-kind<br />

costume or special event,<br />

please don’t hesitate to let<br />

us know.<br />

And, of course, we<br />

always welcome photo<br />

submissions or story<br />

ideas, which can be sent to<br />

lauren@malibusurfside<br />

news.com. When it comes<br />

to Halloween, we would<br />

love to hear about and see<br />

any amazing Halloween<br />

costumes, pumpkins and<br />

everything in between.<br />

But, year-round, keep us<br />

in mind, too. We always<br />

love to hear from the community<br />

at large.<br />

This year, the final days<br />

of October also were to be<br />

made extra special by two<br />

highly anticipated events:<br />

Malibu High School’s<br />

boys water polo and girls<br />

volleyball teams were to<br />

play respective California<br />

Interscholastic Federation<br />

Southern Section games.<br />

No matter the outcome of<br />

either, I know each team<br />

has made their coaches<br />

and fans quite proud this<br />

year, and each will also<br />

lose some very talented<br />

seniors after this season.<br />

And while those games’<br />

results are not known as<br />

of press time, what I do<br />

know is that this year’s<br />

football team also deserves<br />

a robust round of<br />

applause.<br />

I can imagine that the<br />

team’s 52-0 loss to Santa<br />

Clara last Friday likely<br />

didn’t do wonders for<br />

the Sharks’ self-esteem,<br />

but their overall record<br />

should. This year, the<br />

team is 5-4; last year,<br />

they were 2-8. The Sharks<br />

have worked very, very<br />

hard on that field, and it<br />

has shown if you followed<br />

them this season.<br />

And, with this week<br />

being homecoming week,<br />

the team still needs its<br />

fans behind it.<br />

There’s an awful lot to<br />

celebrate and get excited<br />

about this week. I hope<br />

you will all find the time<br />

to enjoy it.<br />

It’s already been quite a<br />

year indeed, but there are<br />

still plenty of good times<br />

ahead. Just don’t blink —<br />

you might miss them.<br />

Faith-based series unravels Jewish history debates<br />

Submitted by Chabad of<br />

Malibu<br />

Rabbi Levi Cunin, of<br />

Chabad of Malibu, will recount<br />

2,000 years of Jewish<br />

history through the lens of<br />

epic debates that rocked the<br />

Jewish world and still resound<br />

powerfully today.<br />

Chabad of Malibu’s sixpart<br />

course from the Rohr<br />

Jewish Learning Institute,<br />

titled ‘Great Debates in<br />

Jewish History,’ began<br />

Wednesday, Nov. 1, and<br />

will continue with sessions<br />

on Wednesdays, Nov. 8,<br />

Nov. 22, Nov. 29, Dec. 6<br />

and Dec. 20.<br />

The Nov. 29 and Dec.<br />

20 sessions will be held at<br />

Chabad of Malibu, 22943<br />

Pacific Coast Highway,<br />

while the other sessions will<br />

take place at the Malibu Library,<br />

located at 23519 W.<br />

Civic Center Way. Courses<br />

will run from 6:30-8 p.m.<br />

“Judaism welcomes debate<br />

and discourse,” said<br />

Cunin, the local JLI instructor<br />

in Malibu. “This<br />

JLI course invites participants<br />

to gain fascinating insight<br />

into six mega-debates<br />

that have split the Jewish<br />

community throughout our<br />

history — and some of<br />

these matters continue to<br />

be debated today!”<br />

Great Debates in Jewish<br />

History will raise such<br />

questions as: What motivated<br />

the rebels at Masada?<br />

What is the Jewish<br />

perspective on taking up<br />

arms in situations where<br />

defeat is inevitable? What<br />

role does nationalism play<br />

in Judaism? Are faith and<br />

reason mutually exclusive?<br />

What motivated the<br />

anti-Maimonideans in banning<br />

— and even burning<br />

— some of Maimonides’<br />

works? And is religion designed<br />

to be a private and<br />

personal experience, or one<br />

to be proudly paraded in the<br />

public domain?<br />

The course is designed to<br />

appeal to people at all levels<br />

of knowledge, including<br />

those without any prior<br />

experience or background<br />

in Jewish learning. All JLI<br />

courses are open to the public,<br />

and attendees need not<br />

‘Great Debates in Jewish History’ topics<br />

Nov. 8: Suicide at Masada - militant nationalism vs.<br />

religious institutionalism<br />

Nov. 22: The Maimonidean controversy - faith vs.<br />

reason<br />

Nov. 29: Renewal of the Sanhedrin - active<br />

messianism vs. passive messianism<br />

Dec. 6: Chasidism - divine transcendence vs. divine<br />

immanence<br />

Dec. 20: Separation of church and state - religion in<br />

public vs. religion as a private affair<br />

be affiliated with a particular<br />

synagogue, temple or<br />

other house of worship.<br />

Spooky sights emerge out of the deep blue<br />

Malibu Divers<br />

concoct ‘haunted’<br />

scuba diving course<br />

Kateri Wozny<br />

Freelance Reporter<br />

“What is scary on land is more intensified<br />

underwater. Once a first-time scuba diver goes<br />

underwater, they understand they’re OK, but<br />

there’s always some apprehension about what<br />

you’ll see beneath the surface.”<br />

Barbara Gentile-Crary — Malibu Divers owner<br />

On a sunny afternoon at<br />

Malibu Pier, several certified<br />

divers anxiously waiting<br />

to dive deep into the<br />

unknowns of the Pacific<br />

Ocean.<br />

“It’s all about the ghosts<br />

and ghouls of the sea today,”<br />

said certified diver William<br />

Brauer with a smile.<br />

The divers were participating<br />

in the first MaliBOO<br />

Halloween Scuba Dive<br />

hosted by Malibu Divers,<br />

an instructional scuba diving<br />

business. About a dozen<br />

divers participated in the<br />

challenge during three sessions<br />

on Oct. 21 and Oct.<br />

22. The cost was $25 per<br />

person or $40 for two certified<br />

divers.<br />

“It’s all about facing your<br />

fears,” said Barbara Gentile-Crary,<br />

Malibu Divers<br />

owner. “Think of it as going<br />

to an underwater haunted<br />

house.”<br />

Gentile-Crary came up<br />

with the spooky dive idea<br />

after attending various Halloween<br />

hayrides and haunted<br />

houses throughout Los<br />

Angeles.<br />

“We already know some<br />

people are scared of diving,<br />

but for certified divers, we<br />

pretty much know that there<br />

is nothing to be scared of,”<br />

Gentile-Crary said. “This<br />

element will make it fun to<br />

implement things people<br />

generally are afraid of underwater.”<br />

To prepare for the scary<br />

event, three sets were built<br />

In Memoriam<br />

Dennis Dragon<br />

Longtime Malibu resident<br />

Dennis Dragon died<br />

Sept. 25.<br />

Dragon was born Jan.<br />

6, 1947 in Los Angeles.<br />

He was the youngest son<br />

of world-famous arranger,<br />

composer and conductor<br />

Carmen Dragon and opera<br />

soprano Eloise Dragon.<br />

Shortly after his birth, the<br />

Dragon family moved to<br />

Malibu, where they became<br />

a local fixture for 50 years.<br />

At 5, Dennis was bangin’<br />

on the drums with brothers<br />

Doug and Daryl at the keys.<br />

One of his first bands, The<br />

Malibu Music Men plus<br />

One, featured his neighbor,<br />

a very young Natalie Cole,<br />

as lead vocalist.<br />

In the mid-’70s, he got a<br />

call from Daryl to engineer<br />

the first Captain & Tennille<br />

record at A&M Records.<br />

The result was a long string<br />

of hits and a 1975 Grammy<br />

Record of the Year award<br />

for “Love Will Keep Us<br />

Together.” He established a<br />

recording studio in Malibu<br />

and was booked solid.<br />

In 1976, he formed the<br />

rock band The Surf Punks.<br />

He produced, engineered,<br />

drummed, sang, wrote<br />

tunes and produced videos<br />

for the band. The group<br />

was signed to Epic Records<br />

in 1980 and had a wild 10-<br />

Dennis Dragon died Sept. 25. A Nov. 19 memorial paddle<br />

out will be held in Malibu. Photo submitted<br />

year run.<br />

In 1990, he moved to<br />

Montecito where he lived<br />

for the next 18 years. He<br />

married and had two boys,<br />

Cody and Jack.<br />

In the final years of his<br />

life, he moved to Oregon<br />

to build his dream studio.<br />

In winter, he hopped over<br />

to Hawaii for an extended<br />

stay with his good friend<br />

John Hunt.<br />

Dennis was preceded in<br />

death by his parents and<br />

two sisters, Kathy and Carmen.<br />

He is survived by his<br />

former wife, Heather, and<br />

their children.<br />

A paddle out will be<br />

held at 11 a.m. Sunday,<br />

Nov. 19, on Carbon Beach<br />

in Malibu. For details,<br />

Malibu man releases new book on The Beatles<br />

Staff Report<br />

The cover of Malibu resident Brooke Halpin’s new book<br />

is shown. Image Submitted<br />

Malibuite Brooke Halpin’s<br />

knowledge of The<br />

Beatles runs deep.<br />

On Oct. 15 the local author<br />

and avid Beatles fan released<br />

his latest book, “Experiencing<br />

the Beatles — A<br />

Listener’s Companion.”<br />

This month, Halpin will<br />

be at two book signing<br />

events. The first is from<br />

3-5 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 5, at<br />

Barnes & Noble, 160 Westlake<br />

Boulevard, in Thousand<br />

Oaks. Then, from 1-5<br />

p.m. on Nov. 18, Haplin<br />

will be at Barnes & Noble,<br />

4735 Commons Way, in<br />

Calabasas. At each signing,<br />

he will read passages, autograph<br />

the book and perform<br />

Beatles songs.<br />

According to a press release,<br />

the book transports<br />

the reader back to the ’60s,<br />

highlighting moments when<br />

the beloved band released<br />

record-breaking songs,<br />

when Beatlemania was alive<br />

and well, and when The<br />

Beatles took over the silver<br />

screen. It primarily focuses<br />

on the band’s U.S.-released<br />

recordings and features an<br />

in-depth evolution of their<br />

songwriting.<br />

Halpin met John Lennon<br />

and Yoko Ono at John’s 31st<br />

birthday party, and on separate<br />

occasions, met Paul<br />

McCartney and Ringo Starr.<br />

Halpin’s new title joins<br />

his previous books: “The<br />

Everything Piano and Keyboards<br />

Book,” “A Magical<br />

Mystery Time” and “Do<br />

You Really Know The Beatles?”<br />

Halpin is also the host<br />

of 97.5 KBU radio show,<br />

Come Together with the<br />

Beatles & Brooke Halpin.<br />

Dive<br />

From Page 23<br />

by professional diver Nick<br />

Caisse, a student designer<br />

attending Pierce College.<br />

He said the sets took about<br />

a week to build, and he<br />

tested them underwater to<br />

make sure they wouldn’t<br />

float to the surface. Each<br />

set centered on a Halloween<br />

theme that interacted<br />

with the divers, such as underwater<br />

creatures, corpses,<br />

skeleton fish, bats, a painting<br />

with changing pictures<br />

and a haunted entryway.<br />

“It was fun to build,”<br />

Caisse said. “Next year I<br />

hope to build 15 to 20 sets.”<br />

Lighting effects were<br />

also incorporated, as well<br />

as professional divers who<br />

were dressed up in costumes.<br />

“We strategized about<br />

what people would be<br />

afraid of and find scary,”<br />

Gentile-Crary said. “What<br />

is scary on land is more intensified<br />

underwater. Once<br />

a first-time scuba diver<br />

goes underwater, they understand<br />

they’re OK, but<br />

there’s always some apprehension<br />

about what you’ll<br />

see beneath the surface.”<br />

To keep the course safe,<br />

Gentile-Crary and her team<br />

inserted a 200-foot course<br />

line that the divers could<br />

follow from set to set. The<br />

divers swam out to about<br />

the middle of the pier (390<br />

feet from shore) and dove<br />

about 20 feet under the water.<br />

The fright-filled obstacle<br />

course lasted about an hour.<br />

“It’s a thrill finding and<br />

exploring [the sets] and<br />

being a part of it,” Gentile-<br />

Crary said. “That’s what<br />

we’re aiming for while<br />

keeping it safe.”<br />

Divers also had the opportunity<br />

to earn their Advanced<br />

Open Water, Full<br />

Face Mask, Navigation or<br />

Night certifications.<br />

“What’s nice about this<br />

dive [MaliBOO] is that you<br />

can incorporate it with what<br />

a diver is learning in their<br />

other classes,” Caisse said.<br />

Gentile-Crary said she<br />

and her team plan on putting<br />

on more extravagant<br />

events in the years to come.<br />

“We plan on hosting this<br />

every year by adding different<br />

elements,” Gentile-<br />

Crary said. “I just want<br />

the divers to have fun and<br />

experience something new<br />

and challenging.”<br />

Certified diver John<br />

Hellman participated in<br />

the night dive on Oct. 21<br />

and said the course added a<br />

sense of creepiness.<br />

“It was a lot of fun, I<br />

have never done anything<br />

like this before,” Hellman<br />

said. “I look forward to doing<br />

this again next year.”<br />

“Directing this production<br />

personal experience, as a<br />

daughter and as a parent,”<br />

Professor Thomas-Grant<br />

said. “Storytelling is at the<br />

very heart of ‘Big Fish,’<br />

specifically how the narratives<br />

we tell not only shape<br />

our legacy, but also connect<br />

us to others. Ultimately it’s<br />

a story about the devotion<br />

of family and the adventure<br />

that is life.”<br />

“Because the tales in this<br />

show are fantastical and<br />

mythological, we’ve had<br />

a lot of variety in our costume<br />

design, and it’s been<br />

a wonderful challenge to<br />

create so many diverse outfits,”<br />

Costume Designer<br />

Melanie Watnik said. “The<br />

story of ‘Big Fish’ will resonate<br />

with everyone as we<br />

journey through the universal<br />

themes of forgiveness,<br />

reconciliation, hope, love,<br />

and faith.”<br />

Fireball Tim Lawrence<br />

Contributing Columnist<br />

Malibu resident<br />

You might say that<br />

I’m a water person<br />

because I love the<br />

ocean, especially here in<br />

Malibu. And being a water<br />

person, I’m attracted to<br />

things that remind me of<br />

this on a daily basis.<br />

So when Michael<br />

Grosvenor pulled up to one<br />

of our Malibu car shows<br />

in an oceanic aqua 1960<br />

Mercedes Benz 220 SE<br />

Cabriolet, my eyeballs<br />

instantly darted over to it.<br />

It’s rare nowadays to see<br />

a car in this color, and it’s<br />

generally reserved for ’50s<br />

era Chevys and T-Birds.<br />

And the details of the car<br />

are spot on, as Michael is a<br />

goldsmith and jeweler.<br />

According to Michael,<br />

the Benz is a Straight 6<br />

with fuel injection. All<br />

original with matching<br />

numbers. The original<br />

color is known as DB 250<br />

and offered only in 1960.<br />

“Only two are believed<br />

to have been made in this<br />

color,” he exclaims. “Birdseye<br />

maple is the original<br />

wood in the car and was a<br />

rarity in a convertible but<br />

was found most commonly<br />

in the limousine.”<br />

This car was custom<br />

ordered from the ground<br />

Michael Grosvenor poses with his 1960 Mercedes Benz 220<br />

SE Cabriolet. Fireball Tim Lawrence/22nd Century Media<br />

up, and the original owner<br />

is unknown.<br />

Michael has had the car<br />

for 28 years now and purchased<br />

it in Laguna Nigel.<br />

“I love the look and the<br />

drive of this car,” he said.<br />

“I had a 190SL, which was<br />

nice, but [had] no power.<br />

The 220SE has power ...<br />

and what is not leather is<br />

wood ... and what is not<br />

wood is chrome. Even the<br />

door jams are chrome! But<br />

everyone stops to look<br />

at the car because of the<br />

color.”<br />

What you’d expect to<br />

see in a car like this from<br />

a Cold War era is almost a<br />

black and white personality.<br />

So when this thing pulls<br />

up, it just whacks you with<br />

a smile and you have to<br />

go up and look at it. Then<br />

again you could paint just<br />

about anything this color<br />

and it would bring about<br />

joy. People just love this<br />

color because it reminds<br />

them of paradise.<br />

And, now, how about a<br />

short diddy?<br />

“I bought a box of parts<br />

for $100, which had an air<br />

conditioner, headlights,<br />

taillights and other mixed<br />

parts,” began Michael.<br />

“In the bottom of this pile<br />

was an unrestored original<br />

piece of wood from my<br />

car, #396,” he said. “This<br />

was the body number for<br />

my car! The bodies on<br />

these cars were numbered<br />

because they were all<br />

hand-built. The wood and<br />

chrome had to be fitted<br />

individually to each car,<br />

so each one had a different<br />

body number.”<br />

Curious where he bought<br />

that box from, eh?<br />

And, finally, the question<br />

of all questions: What is<br />

the best thing about driving<br />

this aqua speedster here in<br />

the ’Bu?<br />

“I love driving by the<br />

ocean, especially in seeing<br />

the sunrise on those early<br />

Sunday mornings,” he<br />

answered.<br />

Well, that’s two things<br />

we agree on. The love of<br />

paradise and our gratitude<br />

for all things ocean.<br />

Football<br />

Energetic Santa Clara drains MHS in 52-0 matchup<br />

Sharks to take<br />

on Fillmore for<br />

homecoming game<br />

Ryan Flynn<br />

Freelance Reporter<br />

All night, the passes<br />

sailed through the air.<br />

Malibu’s quarterback<br />

tossed deep, arcing, desperate<br />

heaves: this one a bit off<br />

target, this one too deep,<br />

this one off a receiver’s fingertips.<br />

All night they shot<br />

for the moon, and all night<br />

the Sharks came up empty.<br />

52-0 was the final score<br />

during a Friday, Oct. 27<br />

bludgeoning at the hands<br />

of Santa Clara, who visited<br />

Malibu on senior night.<br />

The Sharks fall to 5-4 after<br />

dropping back-to-back<br />

league games and will finish<br />

out the season this coming<br />

Friday, Nov. 3, at home<br />

against a winless Fillmore.<br />

Santa Clara showed off<br />

its offensive firepower<br />

early. They ran tight, power<br />

running sets all night<br />

and were able to grind out<br />

yards before breaking loose<br />

for big ones. In their second<br />

offensive play of the game,<br />

bruising Saints running<br />

back Amos Scott broke<br />

free for a 62-yard score.<br />

The next time Santa Clara<br />

got the ball, after a Malibu<br />

interception, it took them<br />

three plays to score.<br />

“We were pushed around<br />

pretty good up front,”<br />

Sharks coach Terry Shorten<br />

said. “We didn’t do a good<br />

job of tackling, for sure.”<br />

Still only halfway<br />

through the first quarter, the<br />

Sharks found themselves<br />

down two scores. Their<br />

running game was mostly<br />

ineffective, save for a good<br />

Dane Kapler scamper here<br />

or there. Malibu had trouble<br />

establishing any kind of<br />

offensive rhythm.<br />

There were also barely<br />

any of the short, rhythmic<br />

passes we’ve seen freshman<br />

quarterback Jake Friedman<br />

make in recent weeks. Everything<br />

was downfield,<br />

and almost always incomplete.<br />

This is partially because<br />

there wasn’t much<br />

time for plays to develop:<br />

Friedman spent most of the<br />

night running for his life<br />

against an impressive Santa<br />

Clara pass rush.<br />

“We kind of wanted to<br />

try to stretch the field a<br />

little bit,” Shorten said.<br />

“It just so happened that<br />

those were somewhat comfortable<br />

routes for Jake to<br />

throw. He didn’t have a lot<br />

of time to throw so it was a<br />

quick timing route that we<br />

felt we should have a shot<br />

at getting a big play.”<br />

Scott continued his<br />

dominance on the other<br />

end, at one point resembling<br />

NFL running back<br />

Marshawn Lynch’s famous<br />

“Beast Mode” run in the<br />

way he was dragging and<br />

dispatching tacklers on<br />

his way downfield. Santa<br />

Clara opened up 26-0 lead<br />

at halftime, which proved<br />

insurmountable.<br />

This week is homecoming<br />

for the Sharks, who<br />

host winless Fillmore at<br />

6:30 p.m. With a victory,<br />

Malibu would claim its first<br />

winning season since 2012.<br />

“We have to evaluate<br />

who’s available and who’s<br />

hurt and build a game plan<br />

off that,” Shorten said. “I<br />

expect us to have a much<br />

better game against Fillmore.”<br />

Malibu surfside news | November 2, 2017 | 33<br />

Pepperdine sophomore sinks hole-in-one — twice<br />

Brittany Kapa<br />

Assistant Editor<br />

Pepperdine’s Clay Feagler<br />

recently had an experience that<br />

most golfers would envy.<br />

Feagler, a sophomore on the<br />

Waves’ men’s golf team, played<br />

a team tournament at Royal Oaks<br />

Intercollegiate Oct. 23 and 24.<br />

During the first round of play,<br />

Feagler didn’t know that his<br />

third hole of the day would be<br />

something spectacular.<br />

Feagler was second to tee-off<br />

for the day and watched what his<br />

teammate before him did. This<br />

was the third hole of the day after<br />

a shotgun start. Feagler selected<br />

his 5-iron for the par-3, 186-yard<br />

drive to the pin. He lined up his<br />

shot and swung.<br />

“I hit [the ball] and I thought<br />

it was right but it actually stayed<br />

straight, landed on the green,<br />

kicked left and kind of just rolled<br />

in the hole,” he said. “I didn’t<br />

even know it went in until someone<br />

said it was in; it was far<br />

away.<br />

“I just remember getting highfives<br />

and getting jumped on. It<br />

was pretty sweet.”<br />

Feagler said that it was kind<br />

of a blur after he realized he had<br />

gotten a hole-in-one, a rare accomplishment<br />

for golfers.<br />

“I felt like I made a game-winning<br />

three in a basketball tournament<br />

and got dog-piled on,” said<br />

Feagler, with a laugh. “That is<br />

what it kind of felt like. It was an<br />

awesome feeling.”<br />

Feagler added that his excitement<br />

got the best of him for<br />

the rest of the round. He didn’t<br />

play as well as he would have<br />

liked and finished the first round<br />

5-over-par 71.<br />

Feagler was able to calm his<br />

nerves by the second round and<br />

finished 4-under-par 71.<br />

Then, just a day later, he lined<br />

up his shot on his fourth hole of<br />

the day, eighth hole with a par-3<br />

and a 175-yard drive to the pin.<br />

“That one, to be honest, was<br />

hit a lot more solidly,” Feagler<br />

said about his second hole-inone<br />

in two days. “It just kind of<br />

rolled in, again, like a putt. The<br />

team kind of had the same reaction,<br />

and I saw that one go in because<br />

it was a little closer. It was<br />

just unreal and unspeakable.”<br />

According to the National<br />

Hole-in-one Registry – a website<br />

by the same name that accounts<br />

for 60,305 registered hole-inones<br />

– only 14 percent of golfers<br />

have made two hole-in-ones.<br />

“To make one [hole-in-one] is<br />

impressive but to do two is just<br />

unspeakable,” Feagler said. “ ...<br />

To be a part of that is pretty cool.<br />

It’s stupid crazy, stupid lucky to<br />

have two.”<br />

California and Texas rank as<br />

the most prevalent states to sink<br />

a hole-in-one, at 9 percent each.<br />

Feagler also surpassed the average<br />

length for a hole-in-one on<br />

both holes; the average is 147<br />

yards, according to the registry.<br />

The average golfer who sinks a<br />

hole-in-one has 24 years of experience.<br />

Feagler, at just 19, brings<br />

that average down a little bit.<br />

Then again, Feagler has always<br />

been rather impressive for<br />

his age.<br />

At just 10 years old, Feagler —<br />

who grew up in Orange County<br />

on Dana Point — sunk a hole-inone<br />

at Birch Hills Golf Course.<br />

However, if he wants to best<br />

the most holes-in-one scored by<br />

one person, he has some work to<br />

do. That record, according to the<br />

National Hole-In-One registry,<br />

stands at 26.<br />

But Feagler is surely well on<br />

his way.<br />

of scoring two holes-in-one<br />

in one tournament with his<br />

teammates.<br />

Interview by Freelance Reporter<br />

Ryan Flynn<br />

Scorching heat<br />

adds to Hell Week<br />

Ryan Flynn<br />

Freelance Reporter<br />

They hit the water before<br />

sunrise.<br />

It was 6 a.m. on a Monday<br />

and all 20 members of<br />

the Malibu girls water polo<br />

team had wiped the sleep<br />

from their eyes and met at<br />

the school for a morning<br />

practice. Groggy or not,<br />

they had to get in the pool.<br />

Practice lasted from<br />

6-7:45 a.m., at which time<br />

the girls had to get ready for<br />

class. They had a full day<br />

of school, and then, at 3:15<br />

p.m., they were back at the<br />

pool for the second practice<br />

of the day, again lasting<br />

nearly two hours.<br />

Then they woke up and<br />

did it again the next day.<br />

It’s called “Hell Week”<br />

and it is an annual tradition<br />

for boys water polo, but<br />

something the girls haven’t<br />

done in nearly a decade.<br />

Not only did the team do it<br />

this year, but it was actually<br />

their idea.<br />

Coach Hayden Goldberg<br />

was approached last year by<br />

four of his girls, who are now<br />

the only seniors on the team.<br />

Annie Armitage, Sophie Spivack,<br />

Gaia Hinds and Gabi<br />

Cano wanted an opportunity<br />

to grow closer as a team and<br />

asked if they could have their<br />

own Hell Week.<br />

“Of course, me being<br />

me, I was like how long do<br />

you want to do it?” Goldberg<br />

said. “One week?<br />

Two weeks? Three weeks?<br />

And they were like ‘just<br />

one week.’”<br />

In the past, it’s taken the<br />

course of a season for the<br />

team to really bond, the<br />

coach said. Bus rides together<br />

are few and far between,<br />

but a week of training,<br />

struggling and, “hating<br />

their coach together,” according<br />

to Goldberg, was<br />

the perfect antidote.<br />

Unlike the boys team,<br />

which had their Hell Week<br />

during the summer, the lady<br />

Sharks had to deal with<br />

classes as well as practice.<br />

The tight constraints tested<br />

their time management skills<br />

along with the physical and<br />

mental strain of the week.<br />

There was also the<br />

not-so-insignificant fact<br />

that the week, which was<br />

picked out months in advance,<br />

happened to fall<br />

during a heat wave.<br />

“We were really fortunate<br />

to have like 86-degree<br />

weather at 5:45 in the morning,”<br />

Goldberg said.<br />

Goldberg, who is entering<br />

his fifth year leading the<br />

team, said he could have<br />

seen it going either way.<br />

The strenuous week could<br />

have caused some girls to<br />

rethink joining the program.<br />

Instead, all 20 girls attended<br />

each and every day.<br />

Hinds, one of the four seniors<br />

on the team, said she<br />

thought it was a great way to<br />

start the season and get the<br />

team back in shape.<br />

“It was a great way to<br />

bond with the girls and I<br />

think it will make us a really<br />

tight-knit, cohesive team,”<br />

Hinds said.<br />

The morning sessions<br />

were just for swimming.<br />

With several new players on<br />

the team, building a roster<br />

of strong swimmers is paramount<br />

for the Sharks. In<br />

the afternoon sessions, the<br />

team focused on skills, positioning<br />

and drills, utilizing<br />

weight belts, weight balls<br />

and rebounders.<br />

Shooting was a key focus<br />

in the afternoon session.<br />

The Sharks will be without<br />

Alex Mora, their leading<br />

scorer from last year, who<br />

transferred to a new school.<br />

Mora, who Goldberg said<br />

“shot harder than half the<br />

boys team” will be missed.<br />

Hinds, Spivack and Armitage<br />

will be counted on to<br />

pick up the slack, both as<br />

leaders and scorers, along<br />

with goalie Cano.<br />

You wouldn’t expect a<br />

team that went 17-7 and won<br />

the league championship last<br />

year to be this hungry, but<br />

Goldberg’s core group seems<br />

to be on the same page.<br />

“It was definitely exhausting,<br />

but it was fun,”<br />

Cano said.<br />

The team plans to defend<br />

its league crown, while<br />

implementing a more physical<br />

style of play, which was<br />

a focus during Hell Week.<br />

While conditioning was one<br />

goal, team bonding was ultimately<br />

what Goldberg most<br />

wanted to see.<br />

“I came from a program<br />

at Malibu where my best<br />

friends were my water polo<br />

guys and I still keep in contact<br />

with a lot of them 15<br />

years later,” he said. “You<br />

might only get it for four<br />

years or one season, but I<br />

hope they’ll be able to be<br />

lifelong friends.”<br />

The early signs are positive.<br />

Goldberg said the older<br />

players were like “big sisters”<br />

to the underclassmen.<br />

“I could see now that this<br />

is going to be a trend,” he<br />

said. “The girls really enjoyed<br />

it.”<br />

Malibu’s girls water<br />

polo season begins on Dec.<br />

6, with a home matchup<br />

against Beverly Hills.

Pepperdine athletics<br />

Women’s soccer team sets various records as it faces Pacific<br />

The Waves won — and<br />

then some.<br />

The women’s soccer<br />

team defeated Pacific 9-0<br />

in a West Coast Conference<br />

matchup Friday, Oct.<br />

27, while also setting the<br />

new mark for the largest<br />

margin of victory and most<br />

goals scored by Pepperdine<br />

against a Division I opponent.<br />

The victory was the ninth<br />

straight win for the Waves<br />

— another program record.<br />

It was also the Waves’ 11th<br />

shutout of the year.<br />

Brielle Preece, who made<br />

three saves in the game,<br />

also set yet a program record<br />

during the game as she<br />

notched her 11th solo shutout<br />

of the season to surpass<br />

Anna Picarelli’s previous<br />

record of 10 (set in both<br />

2003 and 2004).<br />

Bri Visalli scored backto-back<br />

goals in the 18th<br />

and 20th minutes and the<br />

Pepperdine offense never<br />

let up, scoring a programrecord<br />

six goals in the first<br />

half.<br />

Visalli and Joelle Anderson<br />

each had two-goal<br />

games, and Anderson and<br />

Hailey Harbison each had<br />

two assists in the contest.<br />

Anderson has now scored<br />

five times in her last three<br />

games after a three-goal<br />

performance last week. Six<br />

different Waves scored in<br />

the game.<br />

On Sunday, Oct. 29, the<br />

team had a scoreless draw<br />

against Saint Mary’s. The<br />

Waves moved to 13-2-3<br />

overall and 7-0-1 WCC.<br />

The Waves had 32 shots<br />

in the game, while their opponent<br />

had two.<br />

Pepperdine still leads the<br />

conference standings and<br />

will have a chance to win a<br />

conference title and secure<br />

and automatic bid to the<br />

NCAA Tournament with a<br />

win in their regular-season<br />

finale at 1 p.m. Saturday,<br />

Nov. 4, as they face Portland<br />

in Malibu.<br />

WOMEN’S VOLLEYBALL<br />

Waves roll over Saint<br />

Mary’s in road sweep<br />

Pepperdine posted an allout<br />

effort to sweep Saint<br />

Mary’s 25-19, 25-19, 25-<br />

20.<br />

The Waves traveled to<br />

Saint Mary’s home court<br />

Thursday, Oct. 26, and<br />

showed a great offensive<br />

and defensive effort.<br />

Blossom Sato posted<br />

a .265 success rate while<br />

posting a double-double<br />

on 28 assists and 12 digs.<br />

Jasmine Gross helped out<br />

on the defensive end of<br />

the court with her fourth<br />

double-figure block match<br />

of the season marking 10<br />

blocks with two solo. Gross<br />

also posted 8 kills and a<br />

.300 hitting percentage.<br />

Hana Lishman tied her<br />

career-high three aces during<br />

the match and had nine<br />

digs and three assists.<br />

Waves fall to Pacific in four<br />

sets<br />

On Saturday, Oct. 28,<br />

the Waves faced Pacific,<br />

ultimately falling 25-22,<br />

14-25, 25-21, 25-15 at the<br />

Alex G. Spanos Center.<br />

Jasmine Gross led the<br />

team with six blocks, while<br />

adding 14 kills on a .520<br />

success rate. Her six blocks<br />

puts her at 147 blocks this<br />

season, nearing the singleseason<br />

Pepperdine block<br />

record for the rally scoring<br />

era — a record she set last<br />

year at 154. The Waves alltime<br />

block record including<br />

both rally scoring and<br />

sideout scoring has stood<br />

at 158 since the 1991 and<br />

1992 seasons.<br />

Hannah Frohling had<br />

15 kills, 9 digs and 1 ace.<br />

Heidi Dyer had 7 kills, 10<br />

digs, 7 assists and 4 blocks.<br />

Ashley Harris had 9 kills<br />

and 2 blocks. Blossom Sato<br />

racked up 36 assists, 16<br />

digs and 3 blocks.<br />

Hana Lishman had 19<br />

digs, Alli O’Harra had 4<br />

blocks and Jaiden Farr had<br />

8 digs.<br />

The Waves posted a .185<br />

overall success rate, while<br />

the Tigers put forth a .176<br />

output.<br />

Next week, Pepperdine<br />

was to return home to host<br />

MEN’S WATER POLO<br />

Toth leads Waves in victory<br />

over San Jose State<br />

Pepperdine’s Mate Toth<br />

had a hat trick Friday, Oct.<br />

27, at the Waves faced San<br />

Jose State, who they eventually<br />

defeated 9-8.<br />

Toth’s hat trick broke<br />

a 6-6 tie in the fourth and<br />

his teammates kept the momentum.<br />

Kenneth Keller, George<br />

Mooney, Mark Urban and<br />

Marko Asic each scored<br />

one goal apiece.<br />

Justin Cowan also had<br />

two goals earlier in the<br />

game.<br />

The Waves’ Zach Rhodes<br />

had seven saves on the<br />

night.<br />

The next day, the Waves<br />

again looked dominant as<br />

they defeated Pomona-<br />

Pitzer 10-6 and Claremont<br />

Mudd-Scripps 18-8.<br />

Urban was the Waves’<br />

top scorer on Oct. 28, with<br />

six balls in the team’s two<br />

matches.<br />

Against Pomona-Pitzer,<br />

Asic and Chris Dilworth<br />

each had hat tricks. Goals<br />

were also netted by Sam<br />

Paur, Urban, Keller and<br />

Mooney. Meanwhile,<br />

Rhodes had 11 saves in the<br />

game.<br />

Against CMS, Dilworth,<br />

Paur, and Sean Thomas<br />

all had a goal apiece. Urban<br />

scored five goals, and<br />

Thomas finished with a hat<br />

trick. Asic, Mooney and<br />

Toth each had two goals on<br />

the game, while Dilworth,<br />

Paur, and Cowan each finished<br />

with a single goal,<br />

giving the Waves a final<br />

goal total of 18. Rhodes had<br />

eight saves in that game.<br />

WOMEN’S SWIMMING AND DIVING<br />

Dual meet to be held this<br />

weekend<br />

Pepperdine will head to<br />

Cal Poly for its second dual<br />

meet of the year at 11 a.m.<br />

Saturday, Nov. 4.<br />

The event is one of four<br />

duals on the year for Pepperdine.<br />

Pepperdine boasts 40 athletes<br />

on this year’s swimming<br />

and diving roster, giving<br />

the Waves the largest<br />

team ever under coach Nick<br />

Rodionoff, who enters his<br />

18th season at the helm.<br />

The roster includes 28<br />

returning student-athletes<br />

and 12 newcomers. The<br />

Waves boast four seniors<br />

on this year’s squad and<br />

14 juniors. Still, the bulk<br />

of the squad is made up of<br />

22 underclassmen. The program’s<br />

last three recruiting<br />

classes have been made up<br />

of at least 12 student-athletes,<br />

including the team’s<br />

largest ever with 17 two<br />

years ago, giving the squad<br />

depth. Of the newcomers,<br />

six are from out of state.<br />

Pepperdine swimming<br />

alumna Jessica Mosbaugh<br />

(a 2015 graduate) is also on<br />

staff as an assistant coach<br />

with the Waves, heading<br />

into her second season this<br />

year. Mosbaugh finished<br />

her time in Malibu with<br />

three Pacific Collegiate<br />

Swim Conference titles and<br />

four Pepperdine records.<br />

She still owns 17 Top 5<br />

Pepperdine times in seven<br />

events, including two relays.<br />

At the team’s seasonopening<br />

meet against San<br />

Diego State, freshman<br />

Amy Griffin proved to be<br />

a swimmer worth watching.<br />

She grabbed PCSC<br />

Athlete of the Week honors<br />

after she turned in three<br />

outstanding swims at the<br />

meet. Griffin won the 100<br />

free with a time of :53.72.<br />

She also helped her team to<br />

a second-place finish in the<br />

200-medley relay (1:51.26)<br />

with a split of :24.26,<br />

and, in the 50 free, Griffin<br />

placed second (by .09)<br />

swimming a :25.27.<br />

The team will hit the road<br />

for its next three events,<br />

then return to Malibu when<br />

competition resumes in the<br />

new year, hosting a dual<br />

meet against Manahattan<br />

College on Jan. 5. The<br />

Waves also host the PCSC<br />

Time Trials again this year.<br />

Last season, the Waves<br />

competed in 10 events<br />

which included four dual<br />

meets and six invites. At<br />

the PCSC Championships<br />

last year, the Waves<br />

grabbed a fourth-place finish<br />

for the second year in a<br />

row. It was also the team’s<br />

third Top 5 finish in the last<br />

four years. Eight Waves<br />

earned All-PCSC first team<br />

honors at the meet and 14<br />

others earned All-PCSC<br />

honorable mention.<br />

The Malibu City Council will hold a public hearings on MONDAY, November 27, 2017, at 6:30 p.m. in the Council<br />

Chambers, Malibu City Hall, 23825 Stuart Ranch Road, Malibu, CA, for the projects identified below.<br />

LOCAL COASTAL PROGRAM AMENDMENT NO. 17-002 AND ZONING MAP AMENDMENT NO. 17-004 –<br />

The Malibu City Council will consider an ordinance to amend the City’s Local Coastal Program (LCP), and the Malibu Municipal<br />

correct a mapping error re-designating the subject parcel as Building Height Classification Type “D” Lot , the designation<br />

The Local Coastal Program (LCP) amendment was assessed in accordance with the authority and criteria contained in the<br />

California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the environmental regulations of the City. Under Public Resources Code<br />

Section 21080.9, CEQA does not apply to activities and approvals by the City as necessary for the preparation and adoption<br />

of LCP amendments. This amendment to the LCP must be certified by the California Coastal Commission before it can take<br />

effect. LIP Section 1.3.1 states that the provisions of the LCP take precedence over any conflict between the LCP and<br />

Malibu Municipal Code Title 17 (Zoning). In order to prevent an inconsistency between the LCP and Malibu Municipal<br />

Code Title 17 (Zoning), if the LCP amendment is approved, the City must also approve the corollary map amendment to the<br />

Malibu Municipal Code Title 17 (Zoning). The amendment is necessary for the preparation and adoption of the proposed<br />

LCP amendment and because they are entirely dependent on, related to, and duplicative of the exempt activity, they are subject<br />

to the same CEQA exemption. A written staff report will be available at or before the hearing. All persons wishing to<br />
