City works to resume homeless meal service
Michele willer-allred,
Freelance Reporter
Religious and nonprofit
groups may once again
have a home — at least
temporarily — to provide
meals and services for the
homeless in Malibu.
At its meeting on Monday,
March 12, the Malibu
City Council directed City
staff to look into a plan to
allow meals to be served at
city hall one day a week,
preferably on the weekend,
on a temporary basis until
a more permanent solution
is found.
City Manager Reva Feldman
is to check the City’s
calendar and determining
the best days.
The latest direction by
the council was in response
to a request by the groups
to have the City provide a
temporary space to feed the
homeless.
After Thanksgiving last
year, the Malibu United
Methodist Church stopped
their twice-weekly dinners
they have been providing
for the homeless for more
than 17 years.
Organizers said they
stopped serving dinners to
the homeless after Malibu
officials voiced concerns
after receiving public safety
complaints.
The church is home to
a nursery and sits next to
Malibu High School.
In January, the council
asked staff to research alternate
locations for the
meal service.
The nonprofits Standing
on Stone and the Community
Assistance Resource
Team provided meals to the
homeless for many years at
different locations, including
the Malibu Presbyterian
Church, Saint Aidan’s
Church, and Webster Elementary
School.
CART volunteer Terry
Davis said that not only do
the groups feed the homeless,
but also engage them
to accept other services and
outreach efforts.
Davis said the homeless
population has increased.
“Word got out that there
were some good home
cooking and overnight
stays increased when meals
were served back-to-back
in the same venue,” Davis
said. “It is also our overall
experience that most guests
boarded the bus and returned
to their home bases,
whether it was in different
parts of Malibu or outside
Malibu after the second
meal.”
“Offering more, one
day per week on city hall
grounds addresses the concern
that homeless individuals
from surrounding
areas would stay overnight
for an additional meal,”
added Davis.
Davis said there would
be no cooking on site, and
all food would be prepared
ahead of time. Volunteers
would be responsible for
cleanup and security, and
the groups would look into
providing transportation to
and from city hall grounds.
“We see no public health
issue that is any different
from any of the multitude
of events being held at and
often sponsored by the City
at city hall,” she said.
Davis said the groups are
looking forward to working
with Santa Monica College
on utilizing a future annex
site, or the Malibu Courthouse
as possible venues.
“In the meantime, we are
asking the City of Malibu to
support us and restore the
opportunity we once had to
connect with those in need,”
Davis said. “The plug was
pulled without properly assessing
the true value of
what these gatherings provided.”
The Rev. Paul Elder,
of St. Aidan’s Episcopal
Church, said that Los
Angeles has over 58,000
homeless people, with no
real answer to help them or
reduce this number. He said
at least 70 homeless people
in Malibu have been taken
off the streets and helped
through the work of various
organizations and the
support of the council.
Several homeless people
spoke at the meeting about
how valuable the meals
and the services provided
by the organizations have
been. They said many of
the services came from collaborations
made during
the meals.
“If nothing is done, the
problems only going to get
worse,” said Tom Johnson,
who was once homeless. “I
am forever grateful for the
help we received.”
Councilmember Skylar
Peak said the council is
faced with a conundrum of
helping the homeless, but
also having to look out for
the public’s safety.
Councilwoman Laura
Rosenthal said finding a solution
has been a struggle.
Rosenthal also asked
why Pepperdine is not being
considered as a location
to serve the homeless. She
mentioned concerns about
pedestrian access along
dark streets and surrounding
brush around city hall.
Davis said there are liability
issues that Pepperdine
is not willing to take
with transportation to their
campus.
Rosenthal said she also
had concerns about doing
something temporary at
city hall and the City being
branded as it was last fall.
“I don’t want to get death
threats anymore and I don’t
want our staff to get death
threats anymore either,”
Rosenthal said.
“I think what’s really important
here is to collaborate
and to work together,
and to know that we have
the City’s support and the
City will do everything
in its power to help make
this happen in a way that
we’re all working together,
with the county, with the
task force, with the people
concerned, and not at odds
and cross purposes,” Davis
said.
Mayor Pro Tem Jefferson
Wagner said he was in support
of serving at city hall.
“I think the City should
step up, as we have in so
many other avenues such
as the environment, legislation,
and say we have an
open city hall once a week,
once every two weeks, to
our homeless population
and to our providers to provide
for them as best they
can,” Wagner said. “I’m
willing to take that gamble
with you.”
Lt. Jim Royal, of the Malibu/Lost
Hills Sheriff’s Station,
said that if the event is
held at city hall, the sheriff’s
department won’t be telling
any homeless to leave the
City after they are fed.
“They are members of
the public,” Royal said.
“They have every constitutional
right to stay at city
hall after the meal, and the
sheriff’s department will
not be asking them to leave.
Otherwise, we support this
completely. We just want
you to know the implications.”
In the meantime, the City
will begin work on a Homeless
Strategic Plan, funded
from a $50,000 grant from
Los Angeles County. The
plan is intended to address
homelessness in Malibu,
and identify effective ways
to support and assist the
homeless while ensuring
public safety in the community.

Prominent Malibuites memorialized with benches, plaques in their honor
Barbara Burke
Freelance Reporter
There was a time when
only a handful of families
built, lived in and defined
Malibu.
Among those individuals
were the Adamsons and the
Rindges, two of Malibu’s
founding families.
Slightly later, there were
those who built the first
commercial structures,
such as the Hirschfields.
On March 4, family
members and friends
of three recently departed
community leaders who
were instrumental in building
Malibu gathered at the
Serra Retreat to celebrate
their lives.
A full 26 members of the
family of Ronald L. Rindge
attended the event to
celebrate his memory and
his voluminous contributions
to Malibu. They were
joined by Julie Van Zandt
May’s family, and by Diane
Stewart, the caretaker
for Ruth Hirschfield, who
passed away on Feb. 24 at
the age of 100.
Hirschfield never married
or had children. She is
predeceased by her sister,
Ella Hirschfield.
“We welcome you to the
Serra Retreat and we want
all of you to know that you
are always welcome here
to come and reflect and remember
your loved ones,”
said the Rev. Melvin Jurisich,
director of Serra Retreat.
“To the Rindge family,
I say that without the
contributions of your ancestors,
including Ron, we
would not have this lovely
facility and Malibu would
not be as it is. Your family
has contributed so much to
this community over many
generations. Members of
all three families are always
welcome here; mi
casa es su casa.”
After a brief service, attendees
took a tour of the
Serra Retreat and visited
the memorial benches that
were carefully positioned
on the patio. One could feel
the peaceful solace afforded
by the grounds and the
view. It is a place to gather
one’s thoughts, to reflect,
and to be thankful for Malibu,
with all of its unique aspects
and its special history.
As attendees gathered for
a lunch catered by Monrose
Catering in the retreat’s
community hall overlooking
Malibu, the Adamson
House, the Malibu Lagoon
and the Pacific, family
members spoke about how
special Malibu was to their
loved ones.
Van Zandt May passed
away on Jan. 11 at the age
of 88. For many years, she
was an actress in Hollywood
and she loved to paint
landscapes.
“My mom was so special,”
said Jon Bare, Van
Zandt May’s son. “She was
a prolific painter and she
loved Malibu.”
Bare sat beside a table
of ephemera and paintings
displaying the work
of Van Zandt May, including
stationary cards of her
painting “A Place to Pray,”
a lovely depiction of the
point over looking Malibu
at the Serra Retreat. Most
fittingly, the painting depicts
an area of the grounds
near where her memorial
bench now stands.
“Mom has a huge painting
at the Adamson house
depicting how the Chumash
people lived in the
village where the Adamson
house is today,” Bare said.
“The painting shows that
village in the 1500s and
Mom said it took about
The extended family of Malibu historian Ronald Rindge, who died in October 2017
— including (left to right, sitting on bench) Rindge’s brother in-law Harvey Slocomb,
Rindge’s widow, Sue Rindge, Rindge’s sister in-law Anne Rindge and Rindge’s eldest
son, Ron Rindge Jr. — pose by the memorial bench resurrected in his honor.

1,000 volunteer hours and
painting hours to complete
that lovely, accurate work.”
Bare also shared a photo
of his mom with the needlefish
that earned her a Guinness
World record.
Van Zandt May is predeceased
by her first husband,
Richard L. Bare (“Green
Acres,” and “Twilight
Zone”) and her second husband,
Frederick C. May,
founding president of the
Malibu Lagoon Museum,
with whom she founded
the Malibu Art Festival.
She is survived by Bare,
stepdaughters Laurie May
Canty and Judy May, stepson
Fred May Jr., and 10
grandchildren.
The Rindges recalled
how Ronald “Ron” Louis
Rindge’s family was instrumental
in the establishment
of the Malibu Historical
Society and the Malibu Lagoon
Museum.
Those two entities were
valued immeasurably by
Rindge, who passed away
on Oct. 22, 2017. Born on
June 19, 1934, he was the
son of Frederick Hastings
Rindge Jr. and the youngest
grandson of Frederick Hastings
Rindge and May Knight
Rindge, the last original
owners of the historic Malibu
Rancho. He is survived
by Natalie (Sue) Rindge, his
wife of 61 years, and by his
children Ronald L. Rindge
Jr., Susan Rindge Daddow,
Sara Rindge Knadler, Missy
Rindge Taylor, Daniel Slocomb
Rindge and Jennifer
Rindge. He was graced in
life by having 14 grandchildren,
many of whom were
in attendance at the bench
memorial.
“Ron and my dad, Judge
John Merrick, fought valiantly
for saving the Adamson
House,” Brian Merrick
said. “Together, they wrote
books about the maritime
history of Malibu.”
Rindge’s children agreed
wholeheartedly about his
dedication to preserving
Malibu and its history.
“Dad loved Malibu and
he was a historian, writing
many books and he cared
deeply about Malibu and
the lagoon,” Susan Rindge
Daddow said. “He was so
involved in the Adamson
House. He was so invested
in this community.”
Conversation turned to
Rindge’s decades-long effort
to solve a mystery dating
back more than four
centuries: He wanted to
prove that Malibu Lagoon
was Pueblo de las Canoas,
the location Juan Rodriguez
Cabrillo’s writings
described regarding where
he landed on the mainland
of California in 1542 when
he claimed the newfound
territory for Spain. Family
members chuckled at Rindge’s
conviction, commitment
and dogged tenacity
in that cause.
In 1985, he published
“The Rediscovery of the
Pueblo de las Canoas,” to
recount his research. Ultimately,
Rindge did not prevail
in his efforts to validate
that proposition or to get a
historical site designation
for the Lagoon documenting
that.
He valiantly took up
many other efforts to better
Malibu and to preserve
its special sites, working
tirelessly to save the Adamson
House from being
destroyed to accommodate
a parking lot and building
its docent program.
He authored many books,
including “Ceramic Art of
the Malibu Potteries, 1926-
1932,” a work concerning
his grandmother’s tiles and
other pottery, and a sequel,
“More about Malibu Potteries.”
At the event, Lani Armstrong
Netter and Leslie
Adamson London (Ron
Rindge’s cousin), who were
both Malibu Historical Society
members when they
were teens, announced that
they are executive producers
of a forthcoming mini
series on Ron Rindge’s
grandparents. The Rindge
family was thrilled.
The Hirshfields built the
Malibu Courthouse as well
as Malibu’s jail.
“She was a loving, giving
soul and had many
memories of Malibu from
the times that her family
owned the courthouse and
jail,” Stewart said. “She
gave so graciously to others,
always supporting
charitable causes.”
Now, thanks to the bench
memorials at Serra Retreat,
three of Malibu’s most prolific
residents will always
have a special place in
Malibu.

Mountain lion sightings
continue at Pepperdine
Lauren Coughlin, Editor
The tally of mountain
lion sightings at Pepperdine
University’s Malibu
campus continues to climb.
Nine more sightings
were reported last week,
with one sighting on
March 8, four sightings on
March 7, and two apiece
on March 5 and March 6,
according to a post shared
by the university.
Five of the nine sightings
were confirmed.
Confirmed sightings
are defined as those that
were either seen first-hand
by officials or confirmed
through photo or video
documentation.
“University officials
have requested the responding
government
agencies to relocate the
mountain lions, but the
request has thus far been
denied,” the post states.
“Government agents continue
to assure university
officials they see no elevated
risk in the lion behavior
we are experiencing.”
The most recent sightings
join 15 others — 8 of
which have been confirmed
by officials — reported on
campus since Feb. 17. In
one instance, a mountain
lion reportedly approached

a Drescher resident walking
his dog.
“The resident said the
animal rapidly approached
him from the rear, likely
seeking access to his
dog, but that the lion did
not bite, strike, or snarl
at them,” the university
states. “The lion fled when
the resident kicked at it,
though he did not make
contact with the animal.”
On Feb. 26, a Malibu resident
who lives in the nearby
Malibu Country Estates
neighborhood snapped a
photo of a mountain lion
that was spotted in the

Offshore drilling prevention
focus of upcoming conference
Panelists include
various elected
officials, coastal
advocates
Submitted by the Malibu
Township Council
Malibu Township Council
is to conduct a free
community-wide conference
aimed at preventing
the opening of new federal
offshore oil drilling leases
that experts say are likely
to harm Malibu’s open and
safe coastal environment,
healthy surfing and swimming,
and even the City’s
tourist-based economy.
The conference, at 1:30
p.m. Saturday, March 24,
at the Malibu City Hall
Theater, located art 23825
Stuart Ranch Road, will
feature an introductory
message prepared by Leon
Panetta, who was largely
responsible for keep oil
drilling away from the
Monterey Bay. The conference
will include six
coastal expert panelists,
including representatives
from nonprofit groups
whose mission is to keep
the ocean environmentally
safe.
Panelists include U.S.
Rep. Ted Lieu, who represents
Malibu and 13
other coastal cities within
the 33rd District; Jeremy
Wolf, environmental representative
for State Sen.
Henry Stern; Attorney Damon
Nagami, Natural Resources
Defense Council;
Sarah Friedman, Sierra
Club advocate; Chad Nelson,
CEO of Surfrider; and
Attorney Dayna Bochco, a
member of the California
Coastal Commission.
MTC President Richard
Lawrence announced the
event last week, saying,
“Since at least the 1970s,
Malibu Township Council
has worked to keep our
beaches free of chemical
and physical contaminants,
as well as an open
and clean horizons. Oil
platforms offshore would
damage our waters, our
beaches, our waves, and
will harm our tourist economy.
This is not a future
that is acceptable for Malibu
residents.”
Experts agree that the
possibility of drilling rigs
off Malibu looks more and
more real every day.
“More than 35 years
ago, I worked with both
houses of Congress to impose
a moratorium on offshore
oil drilling in federal
waters along the California
coast,” Panetta said.
“We understood the grave
threat to one of the nation’s
greatest natural and commercial
assets. Now that
moratorium is at risk.”
Los Angeles Times staffers
Keith Schneider and
Tony Barboza wrote that
President Trump’s proposal
to open the coastline
for drilling represents
“the largest expanse of the
nation’s offshore oil and
natural gas reserves ever
offered to global energy
companies.”
Interior Secretary Ryan
Zinke said the draft fiveyear
leasing plan would
commit 90 percent of the
nation’s offshore reserves
to leasing, including areas
off all three regions of the
California coast that have
been off-limits to oil and
gas exploration since the
Reagan administration.
Lieu, who represents
14 L.A. County cities and
about 75 miles of coastline,
authored a letter signed by
36 California Congress
members opposing new
Pacific Ocean lease sales
in the Trump administration’s
offshore drilling
plans. Under Trump’s executive
order, the Department
of the Interior will
consider all areas of the
Outer Continental Shelf
for oil and gas leases.
“Offshore drilling creates
extraordinary safety
concerns for coastal communities
and ecosystems,”
Lieu said. “Instead of
fighting climate change
and looking at wind, tidal
and wave energy development,
this drilling proposal
will turn our coasts into a
game of risk. We should
be making every effort to
reduce the risk of disaster,
not increase them.”
Lawrence noted that
the meeting will provide
information on proposed
changes that will affect the
economy of Malibu, property
values and effects of
the oil industry.
“Residents love and
want to protect our city,”
Lawrence said.
The City Hall Theater
holds 250 people. Students,
teachers, interested
residents are welcome to
attend and to bring their
friends.
A cookie reception will
precede the event to allow
the audience to mingle
with panelists.

Taking matters into their own hands
More than a dozen
graduate from CERT
training program
Lauren Coughlin, Editor
The training sessions
for Malibu’s Community
Emergency Response Team
are free, and the peace of
mind those very lessons
might bring in times of crisis
are priceless.
On Feb. 24, the City of
Malibu issued certificates
to 18 graduates of the latest
round of training sessions,
which began on Jan. 11.
The participants logged 21
hours between six sessions,
taking away knowledge
with regard to disaster preparedness,
fire suppression,
search and rescue, medical
response, and more.
Six additional individuals
who had to miss
portions of the training
in Malibu are expected
to complete their training
through sessions with
Agoura or Calabasas, added
Public Safety Manager
Susan Dueñas.
“It gives you confidence
that you can do things, and
you could ultimately end
up saving someone’s life,”
Dueñas said.
Dueñas, who is a certified
instructor and program
manager, taught the
sessions alongside Malibu
CERT member Donna Gilbert
and Station 88 firefighter
Alex Abdalla.
“I’ve never met anyone
who did not thoroughly enjoy
the class,” said Dueñas,
who added that it is a bonding
experience.
The courses offer familiarity
and serve to build
confidence among participants.
Dueñas noted that even

What: “CERT volunteers are a crucial part of the
City’s ability to prepare and respond to disasters,”
notes the City of Malibu. “During a large-scale
emergency like an earthquake or wildfire, welltrained
citizens who are already in neighborhoods
can help save lives during the first critical moments.
They can also contribute to the emergency response
by helping to search for missing or injured people,
distributing food and medical supplies, and
organizing volunteers.” For more information, visit

program include a disaster simulation.
something as simple as
picking up a fire extinguisher
can be uncomfortable
for those who have
never had to do so, but the
training offers a sense of
familiarity.
“If you haven’t had the
training, you’re not necessarily
going to feel confident,”
Dueñas said. “ ...
You might still fumble,
but you’re not going to be
going through the same
emotional anxiety than if
you’ve never done it before.”
Anyone can partake in
the training sessions, and
Dueñas noted that a bold
7-year-old has been among
past program participants.
Dueñas added that graduates
have “zero obligation”
toward the City after completing
the program.
Many participants, however,
go on to join the
Malibu CERT team, which
currently has 31 members.
In order to join that team,
members must meet a

A bright start for the Malibu Garden Club’s year
First speaker of
2018 talks about
the vivid clivia plant
Suzanne Guldimann
Freelance Reporter
The Malibu Garden Club
is back with a new board of
directors, a renewed focus
and a new meeting time
at 9:30 a.m. on the first
Wednesday of the month.
The Malibu Garden Club
was founded in 1959, and is
one of the oldest nonprofit
organizations in the community,
but it came close
to being disbanded last
year after several longtime
board members moved on.
Now, a group of members
has come together to save
the club and move it forward
into a new era.
On March 7, Malibu
Garden Club President
Glen Gessford welcomed
members and visitors to the
first meeting of 2018 at the
Point Dume Club.
He said he and his new
board are optimistic that
the club can continue to
flourish and thrive.
“Our goal is to have a
really good garden club,”
Gessford said.
It was appropriate that
the newly revived club’s
first speaker was an expert
on cliva — a tough, tenacious
plant that bears a
beautiful flower and thrives
in Malibu’s coastal climate.
Malcolm Shrimplin is
the president of the North
American Clivia Society.
He’s an enthusiastic collector
and grower of the colorful
flower, and is interested
in both its history and its
future.
Shrimplin explained that
clivias are natives of South
Africa, where they evolved
in a Mediterranean-type
biome similar to that of
Southern California.
British explorers William
Burchell and John Bowie
are credited with having
brought the first specimens
back to Europe in the early
19th Century. The plant received
its official scientific
name in 1828, when British
botanist John Lindley
named it in honor of Charlotte
Clive, the Duchess of
Northumberland.
“She was Queen Victoria’s
governess,” Shrimplin
said.
Clivia miniata, also
known as “kaffir lily,” is the
familiar garden plant that is
prized for its tidy, strap-like
green leaves and ability to
thrive in the shade, as well
as for its vivid orange, red
and yellow flowers, but it’s
only one of several species.
Shrimplin said that there
are currently six known
species of cliva — the most
recent of which was discovered
in 2004.
Shrimplin introduced his
audience to some of the
more unusual species and
variations: clivias that come
in rose and peach, or green
and creamy white — a color
in so much demand that
THE INDUSTRY’S FINEST HIGH-END LUXURY
ADDICTION TREATMENT FACILITY
some hybrids are sold for
hundreds of dollars. He also
brought photos of species
that have pendulous flowers,
trumpet-like blooms
and variegated blooms. One
species, C. mirabilis, prefers
full sun and can tolerate
warm weather better than its
shade-loving relatives.
Shrimplin grows his
prize-winning clivias in pots
on his patio in the Conejo
Valley. He said that the key
to keeping them happy is
filtered or dappled light and
well-drained soil.
“The most important thing
is drainage,” he said. “They
don’t like standing water.”
It can take as long as four
to six years for C. miniata to
bloom, and even longer for
some of the other species
to mature, but for Shrimplin
it’s well worth the wait,
and he appreciates that
this beautiful flower is low
maintenance.
“In nature, no one pampers
them,” he said, adding
that the plants don’t mind
being root-bound, and aren’t
fussy about soil or fertilizer.
If the plants are kept indoors,
they may need to
“rest” in a cool, dry place
for 6-8 weeks in order to
bloom. Outdoors, they are
happiest in the shade.
“If it’s too shady for grass
to grow, then clivias will
be happy there,” Shrimplin
said.
Shrimplin recommended
the Huntington, Descanso
and Lotusland gardens for
anyone interested in seeing
a variety of clivias in a garden
setting.
He said that while most
nurseries stock the orange
flowering C. miniata, especially
in March, when the
plants are in peak bloom, it
can be harder to find the more
unusual varieties.

Mixing it up in Malibu
Chamber’s Sunset
Mixer at Duke’s
features fashion
show, more
Barbara Burke
Freelance Reporter
The sun was going down
on March 6, but the bikinis
were just coming out.
A well-attended Sunset
Mixer, put on by the Malibu
and Pacific Palisades
chambers of commerce at
Duke’s Malibu, included a
high-end bikini and beachwear
fashion show sponsored
by Malibu’s San Lorenzo
Bikinis and Pacific
Palisades’ Happy L.A.,
owned by Malibu resident
Dawn Baker.
“I am thrilled that we
have coordinated this joint
event,” Baker said.
Though the lovely bikiniclad
ladies and gentlemen
sporting six-pack abs were
impressive, most onlookers
would agree that 9-yearold
Brody Baker stole the
show.
“I enjoyed the modeling,”
Brody told Malibu
Surfside News. “At first, I
was nervous. Then, I realized
it was a good experience.
So, I would like to do
it again.”
Beach attire for women
included San Lorenzo’s reversible
bikinis and swimsuits
and Happy L.A.’s
casual beachwear. Meanwhile,
the male models
sported swimsuits and outfits
for that “put together”
look that allows one to
segue from the beach to a
casual dinner.
“Tonight, San Lorenzo
featured our new LOLA
line,” added Ally Duffy,
manager of San Lorenzo.
“The word LOLA stands
for loved once, loved always
and it’s part of a new
collection harkening back
to styles from the 1960s to
1980s.”
Maka Rouge provided
musical entertainment for
the evening.
Of course, the gathering
also included the raison
d’être for Chamber
of Commerce functions.
Representatives from the
banking, health care, real
estate, legal, creative arts,
dental and medical sectors
mingled, getting to know
one another and exchanging
contact information.
“I enjoyed seeing familiar
faces, as well as meeting
new people and my business
fully supports such
community-based events,”
said attendee Terah Tidy,
who owns Glamifornia
Style Lounge.
Those with established
businesses in Malibu, such
as Tidy, were able to mingle
with those who are just
starting new business adventures,
such as Rhonda
Jessum, who is to open Old
Town Malibu in the plaza
across from Duke’s Restaurant.
“This was a delightful
event involving a spirited
group of business people,”
Jessum said. “I’m definitely
coming back because
such connections will help
me build my new business
which will focus on offering
tours of rural Malibu
featuring the vineyards and
the horseback riding opportunities
here, as well as offering
vintage merchandise
in the store and online.”
Nurse Julie Wozniak, of
Vitale Nursing, noted how
Swimsuit models at the March 6 Sunset Mixer, put on by the Malibu and Pacific
Palisades chambers of commerce, take a picture together. Barbara Burke/22nd Century
Media
Chamber events help attendees
make connections
about sought-after services
in the community.
“My company has been
in business since 2008 and
we offer in-home, longterm
care services for clients,”
Wozniak said.
Susan Payne, president
of the Pacific Palisades
Chamber of Commerce,
was delighted with the
turnout.
“The members of our
Chamber are very excited
that we’re doing this and
we are looking forward
to more joint events,” she
said. “I think it is really
wonderful to bring together
two such close-knit communities.”
Barbara Bruderlin, chief
executive officer and president
of the Malibu Chamber
of Commerce, was
pleased as well.
“We appreciate the Pacific
Palisades Chamber
for co-hosting the event
and we thank members
of both Chambers and
friends for coming to celebrate
spring,” Bruderlin
said. “We look forward to
a Summer Blast Mixer here
at Dukes and we hope to
see everyone there.”

He suggested checking
Plant Horizons Nursery in
Santa Barbara, and Monrovia
Nurseries. He added that he
has had good luck purchasing
clivias on eBay as well, but
noted that there are unscrupulous
sellers and the buyer
should use caution.
“There are no blue clivias,”
he said. “Not yet, but
people will try to sell them
to you.”
Like many popular house
and garden plants, clivias
are potentially toxic. According
to the American
Society for the Prevention
of Cruelty to Animals, the
entire plant contains a small
amount of the alkaloid lycorine
that can be toxic to
dogs, cats and horses if a
large amount of the plant is
consumed. Sensible precautions
are recommended.
For anyone interested in
acquiring unusual species
or hybrids, or learning more
about the plant, the 15th annual
North American Clivia
Society show and sale will
be taking place at the Huntington
Library, in San Marcos,
on March 17-18.
The next Malibu Garden
Club meeting is scheduled
for 9:30 a.m. on April 4, at
the Point Dume Club. The
meeting will feature a talk
by guest speaker Dani Brusius
on attracting bees and
butterflies to the garden.

Stern, others seek to

Malibu native Sen. Henry
Stern is joining a number of
national and statewide animal
activists who seek to
ban possession of elephant
trophies in California.
The legislative action
comes on the heels of a federal
policy change which
led the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service to announce
that they will consider all
permits on a “case-bycase”
basis, the March 7

“California has the power
to end trophy hunting of
endangered species here,

power, across the world,”
Stern states. “I intend to
use that power this year to

2.
Various sports, enrichment
and surf camps will be offered
during the Santa Monica-Malibu
Unified School District summer
break.
Sports camps will be offered
to those with a desire to learn a
new sport, as well as those wanting
to improve their skills and
learn more advanced techniques.
Sports camps will be offered
for basketball, baseball, flag
football, volleyball and tennis.
Sports camps will be presented
in a fun and invigorating training
environment and offer the
core skills of each sport to ensure

complete FEMA (Federal Emergency
Manager Agency) trainings,
serve at least 30 hours per
year, attend regular meetings and
drills, and will be registered as
Disaster Service Workers,” the
City notes on www.malibucity.
org/CERT.
The training allows Malibu
residents to emerge as leaders
among their neighborhoods, and
to make emergency response
more effective.
In the long run, Dueñas said she
hopes to map out where existing
CERT team members hail from so
that the City may target any underserved
neighborhoods.
“We haven’t gotten there yet,”
Dueñas said.
In June of this year, the City
will offer the next round of training
sessions, with courses taking
place from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. on
three Saturdays (June 16, June 23
and June 30). Some have already
signed up, but Dueñas said there
is still room.

Don’t Panic, It’s Organic
The non-political problem with the wall
Andy Lopez
Contributing Columnist
Invisible Gardener
There is one big problem
with Trump’s
wall that few seem
to be mentioning or talking
about.
This is not a political
statement, but I feel compelled
to talk about this.
If you have been following
my column here and/
or online, you know I am
basically an Earth warrior.
I do my best to protect and
nourish this wonderful
planet. Along with defending
trees, I also speak on
behalf of the animals.
OK, so birds have no
problem flying over the
wall, but what about everyone
else?
For millions of years,
animals have traveled
from one end of the world
to the other using the land
as their highway. They
have evolved this way.
They must travel to continue
their species and to
get the food and nutrients
they need.
The plants also need the
animals to roam. They depend
on these animals to
provide the basic nutrients
they too need. Animals
die, and they are recycled
back into the web of life,
bringing with them trace
minerals, microbes and
more.
There does not seem to
be any concern over building
a wall that separates
these animals.
It is really their land,
not ours. They, after all,
were here first. It is unfortunate
enough that animals
are dying all over the
world due to humans.
Animals have had it bad
since humans arrived, and
it has been one getting
worse. We must begin to
respect these beautiful
creatures and give back
to them their rights. It is
not too late to think of
how what we plan to do
will affect the animals that
we plan to ignore in the
construction of whatever
we do.
The chicken crossed
the road because it had to.
Roadkill is bad. Millions
of animals die on our
roadways every year.
According to Wikipedia,
one of the earliest observers
of roadkill was the
naturalist Joseph Grinnell,
who noted in 1920: “This
[roadkill] is a relatively
new source of fatality; and
if one were to estimate
the entire mileage of such
roads in the state [California],
the mortality must
mount into the hundreds
and perhaps thousands
every 24 hours.”
That was in 1920.
Multiply that by a few
thousand kills per day in
California alone, and you
will get the idea.
It is not just animals
that die on the roads, but
billions of insects, too.
The wall could have
many negative consequences
on various animals
— including death,
injury and suffering.
An excellent article on
this very subject which
goes into more details
can be found at www.
livescience.com/57659-
trump-wall-could-harmwildlife.html.
It covers
everything that I have
mentioned plus more and
should be a must-read for
anyone.
Many other countries
that have walls are finding
out how bad it is for their
environment.
So it is not just a wall
that I am writing about,
but about all life on Earth.
We are damaging the
environment to the point
of no return.
Do we think that we
humans will survive for
long without animals,
insects, birds, and other
creatures? To ignore the
signs all around us is to
ignore our own survival.
The warnings are everywhere.
Sticking your head
in the sand does nothing
to change the warnings.
I wrote an article called
“How to kill all living
beings on Earth within
100 years.” I have since
changed it to 50 years
and it seems I may have
to change it to less, but I
hope not.
It is sad to think that
we have polluted everything
to the point that all
life will die. This climate
change we have started
(yes, we started it) is not
a typical climate change.
Climate change is normal
if left to Mother Nature,
but not normal if caused
by humans. Humans can
ignore Mother Nature in
their quest for wealth. We
have crossed all 10 environmental
boundaries, and
there is no going back. We
cannot repair this, so our
future is up in the air now.
Unless we act like conscious
beings, we all will
be unconscious beings.
Please take a moment
to breathe. This is not the
clean air we need. Our
water is polluted, and so
is our Earth. The oceans
are getting destroyed, and
toxic radiation is everywhere.
Almost everything we
eat has a soup of toxins in
it. It is really stupid of us
to not think about what we
are doing to this wonderful
planet.
We all must stand up
and be heard. If you do
not wish to speak for

Like No One Else!

yourself or the animals,
insects and birds, then
speak up for your children
and their children.
It is never too late to
change. If we do not
change, Mother Nature
will change things, and it
will not include us.

Ride of the Week
‘Ruby’ provides smooth ride down memory lane
Fireball Tim Lawrence
Contributing Columnist
Malibu resident
They say a smile is
worth a thousand
words.
Well, it seems fitting
when you look at the photo
accompanying this week’s
column. The smile on the
driver behind this week’s
Ride of the Week says it
all.
This is Rick White, aka
Ricardo Blanco. White is
in the construction industry,
operating in sales with
Larrabure Framing.
“We frame large multifamily
projects,” he begins
to explain. “Mostly in
DTLA and Irvine, we are
a digitizing manufacturer
of framing components
manufacturing off-site,
then assembling and building
on site.”
Families United for Recovery teaches parents and
families how to quickly regain connection with their
loved ones and become their best chance for
addiction recovery.
But in his “non-assembly”
time, White has
another job: inspiring others
with a gangbuster smile
while driving his 1950
Ford station wagon woodie
named “Ruby.”
White goes on to tell me
that “Ruby” was purchased
in original condition from
her original owner.
“When we rebuilt the
engine, we went old school
with a flat head, modified
with 3/4 cam, aluminum
heads, dual carbs, headers
and a hot ignition,” he
explains. “I bought it about
26 years ago as a family
car to raise our two kids,
Kyle and Karina, plus dogs
Nikki and Buddy.”
Even in 1992, this woodie
epitomized coolness.
“This car is a throwback
to a friend’s woodie
I used to cruise in Malibu
at 14 years old,” White
said. “We would come
to Malibu with his sticks
(surfboards for you noncarvers)
and spend the day
at the beach.”
For White, the best part
of his car is the patina of
26 years of life, cruising to
Santa Cruz in the summers,
down to Encinitas
for the woodie shows in
September, and up to Santa
Barbara for club meetings
and another woodie show
in July. “‘Ruby’ is a weekend
car and a great source
of entertainment,” White
said. “One year, my wife,
Elaine, the kids and I all
headed to Santa Cruz and
decided to take Highway
1 through Big Sur. While
navigating the curves and
the cliffs of Highway 1,
I realized that the turning
and swaying might be
leading towards some car
sickness.
“But, afraid to say anything,
I casually glanced
over my shoulder to see
the kids happily engaged in
their music and videos and
not unhappy in the least.
That’s when I knew they
were totally into the woodie
and not the inconveniences
of no A/C, stick shift, and a
car made from a tree.”
When you hear stories
like that, you appreciate
the power of the present
moment and how a car can
add to your life. White gets
it and does whatever he
can to share the feeling.
“We love the drive
through Malibu for the
scenery, our Malibu friends
and the memories of freedom
and summer’s days,”
White said. “The woodie
lifestyle has kept us together
as a family enjoying
surfing, the beach, summer
nights, and a culture of
fresh air and having fun.”
What else could you
possibly say to affirm the
power of automotive beach
life? Big thanks Rick for
helping to inspire a culture
that embodies so much
positivity. If our society
could share that sentiment
in this way more often,
there’d be a lot less suffering
in the world — and a
lot more woodies.

the Week? Send Fireball an

It takes time to go
through the Community
Emergency
Response Team training,
but there is no question
that it’s time well spent.
Over the past two
months, the City conducted
the first round of its sixsession
CERT training program
(read more on Page
9), and in late February,
18 program participants
completed the 21 hours of
training and graduated.
Where these individuals
take their newfound
knowledge from here is
up to them, as participants
have to meet additional requirements
to officially be
considered active members
of the Malibu CERT team.
But it’s an important step
in that journey, and Public
Safety Manager Susan
Dueñas noted that she has
never heard any dissatisfied
comments about the
experience.
The training sessions are
free, and they offer a whole
lot of useful knowledge in
a stress-free environment.
It’s not pleasant to think
about the scenarios in
which the training program’s
lessons may come
in handy, but having the
familiarity in advance can
no doubt be priceless.
Residents of Malibu
are fortunate to have
well-staffed and quick-torespond
fire stations, police
and reserve deputies, but
they simply cannot be
everywhere. Often, the
heroes and differencemakers
in natural disasters
or mass violence incidents
are everyday citizens.
In June, the City will
again offer the training sessions
in a more condensed
Imagine The Difference You Can Make
format on three Saturdays,
which they hope serves as
a convenient time for those
who couldn’t attend the
sessions earlier this year.
Anyone interested in
joining the June sessions
can register and find more
details at www.eventbrite.

ing-tickets-43713209386.
Safety is a priority that
cannot be taken lightly in
Malibu, and preparation
is a necessity. Congratulations
to those who have
stepped up to make that a
personal focus, and thank
you to those who are
already part of the Malibu
CERT team.

MJCS welcomes new rabbi with open arms
Schwartz looks
to expand teen
programs, uphold
longtime traditions
Barbara Burke
Freelance Reporter
“I hope that all Jewish people in
the greater Malibu community
know that they are welcome
here.”
Michael Schwartz — new rabbi at Malibu Jewish
Center and Synagogue
Rabbi Michael Schwartz
started at the Malibu Jewish
Center and Synagogue
in mid-February, assuming
the role from Rabbi Judith
HaLevy, who retired in
2017.
Schwartz plans to continue
the legacy and traditions
HaLevy spearheaded
while also aiming to bring
new activities and outreach
efforts to the synagogue.
“It’s an honor to serve
this wonderful Jewish
community and to be able
to carry on Rabbi Judith’s
wonderful work,” he said.
“Malibu really feels like
a small town and I really
enjoy serving the people
in this close-knit community.”
Schwartz hails from
Palo Alto and previously
spent 20 years serving as
a rabbi in Israel, where he
trained at the Schechter
Institute of Jewish Studies
in Jerusalem. He has also
held rabbinical roles at the
United Jewish Congregation
of Hong Kong and at
the International Jewish
Center in Brussels, among
other roles, his biography
at mjcs.org notes.
In addition to serving
members of his congregation,
Schwartz is interested
in social justice efforts and
interfaith outreach.
“I look forward to meeting
the faith leaders in Malibu
and to adding activities
for youth,” he said. “Activities
for Jewish teens will
be a strong focus of mine.”
Affable and outgoing,
the rabbi impresses and
has already been embraced
broadly by his community.
“He’s wonderful,” Cantor
Marcelo Gindlin said.
“He will be perfect for our
synagogue and I look forward
to working with him.”
Steven Weinberg, president
of Malibu Jewish Center
and Synagogue, wholeheartedly
agreed.
“Rabbi Schwartz will be
terrific for MJCS and everyone
is very impressed
with him,” he said. “He is a
perfect fit.”
As Schwartz chatted with
Malibu Surfside News, he
was flanked by a poster that
the children from the synagogue’s
preschool made to
welcome him.
He smiled as he gazed at
it.
Lighting up even further,
the rabbi explained that his
wife, Tamar Forman, is an
art therapist who specializes
in working with persons
with special needs.
“We have four children
and the family will join me
as soon as the school year
finishes,” he said. “They
are all musical — we have
our own quartet. Our family
is looking forward to
living in Malibu.”
Future opportunities to
join the synagogue in getting
to know Schwartz are
plentiful.
“I look forward to meeting
all the members of our
community at our Seder
on March 31,” he said. “I
hope that all Jewish people
in the greater Malibu community
know that they are
welcome here.
“MJCS offers great leadership
in this community.
We offer all Jewish people
an opportunity to participate
in any way that they
want to. MJCS offers them
all the wonderful experiences
that are part of the
Jewish tradition.”
Youthful and enthusiastic,
one gets the sense that
Schwartz will attract more
members to MJCS.
“One can craft his own
Jewish experiences at
MJCS,” he said. “We will
be offering new teen programs.
For instance, we
may offer a Lag BaOmer
event.”
The rabbi was excited
about the prospect of offering
that opportunity for
youth members.
“Wouldn’t it be cool to
have an enormous bonfire
on the beach for them?” he
asked, smiling.
MJCS will also continue
to offer favorite activities

Students prepare for festival alongside experienced Scottish playwright
Submitted by Pepperdine
University
A leading Scottish playwright
arrived in Malibu
late last month to work
with Pepperdine University
theater students on a
hard-hitting production
that will have its world
premiere at the Edinburgh
Festival Fringe.
Davey Anderson, known
for his work with the National
Theatre of Scotland
and many others, spent a
week with 18 students and
key theater department
staff.
Their time was spent developing
the script of “The
Abode,” Anderson’s new
play focusing on the fate
of a young American misfit
seduced by the Alt-Right.
The university, through
its Pepperdine Scotland
exchange program, has a
track record of collaborating
with renowned Scottish
theater professionals
to create award-winning
productions.
Students covet the
chance to be involved in
the projects because they
provide exceptional experience
that can greatly benefit
their future careers.
“I have a long-held fascination
with American culture,
so it’s a real pleasure
to be part of Pepperdine’s
transatlantic collaboration
for 2018,” Anderson said.
“ ... Pepperdine Scotland
has earned itself an excellent
reputation for tackling
important contemporary
social issues in a compelling
way. ‘The Abode’ is a
hard-hitting story that we
hope will build on this tradition.”
The play’s director is
Cathy Thomas-Grant, divisional
dean of fine arts,
who heads the Pepperdine
Scotland exchange and
has served as director of
Pepperdine’s endeavors in
Scotland since 2000.
In 2016, she directed
Pepperdine Scotland’s
Fringe production “The
Interference,” which won
a Scotsman Fringe First
and Broadway Baby Bobby
Award and was later
staged at the Hollywood
Fringe.
“The Edinburgh Fringe
is the world’s biggest arts
festival and being part of it
is a remarkable experience
for our students,” Thomas-Grant
said. “We are
privileged to have Davey
Anderson on board — it’s
a tremendous opportunity
for our students to work
with a much-admired
Scottish playwright and to
help create a cutting edge
production that addresses
important themes about
society in America and
worldwide.”
The play, which has
echoes of “Orpheus in the
Underworld,” is an attempt
to understand how far-right
political groups entice and
recruit new members, and
how their influence on the
global stage has come to
the fore so rapidly.
“I am so excited to
be working with Davey
Anderson on such a significant
piece of theater,”
said Pepperdine freshman
Christopher Jerabek. “It
is rare for undergraduate
students to receive such a
great opportunity to tackle
a global issue like the Alt-
Right, and present it to the
demographics that need
to hear it. I look forward
to seeing where this production
goes, not just as
a work of theater, but as a
part of the justice movement
it embodies.”
This year, members of
the university’s media
Pepperdine theater students gather for a photo with Davey Anderson (back row, second from left) and Cathy Thomas-
Grant (back row, far right). Photos by Julia Donlon
(Left to right) Cathy Thomas-Grant, Pepperdine freshman Christopher Jerabek and Davey Anderson are pictured
during a weeklong collaboration between the professionals and Pepperdine theater students.
production major will be
involved as well, creating
a documentary about the
project.
In July, the theater
school students are to travel
to Scotland, where they
will visit the Highlands
and learn about the country’s
history, languages
and culture. They will also
spend time working on the
play in Glasgow and Edinburgh.
The play is then to
be staged at the Fringe in
August.

Jenner’s latest EP on track to release this May
Barbara Burke
Freelance Reporter
Malibu’s Brandon Jenner,
like his web of famed
relatives, is a household
name.
But behind the scenes,
his family knows they can
always count on him in
times of crisis.
“Our whole family calls
him Gandhi,” said Jenner’s
mother, Linda Thompson.
“He is the steady, thoughtful
one in the family and
whenever there is tension
or a disagreement, he’s the
one that we all go to and he
exudes peace.”
As a musician, Jenner offers
an intimate peek into
his family life.
Jenner is married to Leah
Felder Jenner, the daughter
of former Eagles lead guitarist
Don Felder.
“We’ve known each other
since we were kids,” Jenner
said, of his wife. “We
both grew up in Malibu and
we played in a band called
Brandon and Leah. Now, we
each make solo records.”
Leah was to release her
first solo album, “While
She Sleeps,” at the end of
this month.
Jenner is also the proud
papa of 2-year-old Eva.
“Being a daddy is the
greatest consequential
thing in my life,” he said.
“For the first time in my
life, I realize that my life
exists only to have this
lovely daughter and all that
I’ve done has been in order
for me to become the person
I am and to be a good
father. Parenthood makes
you realize you have to live
unselfishly. It’s been a period
of great growth for me.
Eva is just perfect.”
He composed his song
“The Best of Us” as he
watched Eva sleep. The
lyrics evoke that wonderful
sense of love and awe
a parent feels, combined
with the realization of how
ephemeral parenthood is.
Mellow in mood, intro-
Brandon Jenner performs at Malibu Burger Company late last year. Barbara Burke/22nd Century Media
spective, contemplative,
and always searching for
perfection, both in life and
in his music, Jenner is genuine,
humble and kind.
“It’s been an interesting
life. All that has happened
has shaped who I
am,” he said. “Everybody
has a unique experience,
something that is as unique
as our fingerprints. Those
experiences shape how we
see the world.”
Jenner explained how he
became interested in music,
dabbled in many other endeavors
and was given the
freedom to enjoy youth and
explore the world.
“My mom married David
Foster when I was young
and my favorite place to
be was in the studio in the
house,” he said. “I was enamored
with the process of
making music. As a kid, I
played saxophone a little,
but I also loved to race cars
and I still love to fly planes.”
Often, it is fascinating to
ask a songwriter how they
approach the composing
process.
“I write the lyrics and
melodies together,” Jenner
said. “However, the melody
comes first. Sometimes, the
writing comes in a dream.
I write voice memos in the
middle of the night so I don’t
forget it. The energy in writing
the music is the first thing
as I sit with my guitar.”
His approach to lyric
writing is quite another
matter.
“I find that composing
the lyrics is much more
analytical,” Jenner said. “I
don’t want to have the same
words on an album. For instance,
I would not put the
word ‘silent’ in two songs
on the same record.
“I recognize that music
doesn’t always have to be
the most poignant or profound
thing. The words can
be simple. As I write my
lyrics, I know that music
is a process that is raw and
full of emotion and it comes
from an energetic moment
that is most honest.”
Perhaps the lyrics from “I
Believe,” one of his songs
from the album “Burning
Ground” (2016), best
manifest the essence of the
man and just how talented a
composer Jenner is.
The lyrics read:
“I believe in peace
I believe in people
I’ll believe in you
if you believe in me too
Give all you can
then nothing can be taken
from you
I believe in love
I believe it’s simple
Listen to your heart
Everyone is equal
Giving all you have
will leave you with nothing
to lose.”
“The song is a holistic
way of saying we’re all
one,” Jenner explained.
“Everything you take in
life; you take from someone
else. We should find
happiness through making
others happy. On my video
of that song, it was very
cool because people used
the words ‘I believe’ and
placed them everywhere
around the world. I heard
from people from all continents.
I have an idealistic
outlook on the world and
I like sharing my idealism
with the world. I do so unapologetically.”
Matt Diamond, a Malibu
music producer and promoter
who was once in a
band with Jenner, praised
Jenner’s talents.
“His lyrics are genuine
and his songs are touching
and pure as the source,”
Diamond said.
When he’s not making
music, Jenner enjoys reading
poems penned by sonneteers
as varied as Rumi
and Walt Whitman. He also
surfs and loves to travel.
“I am so thankful that my
mom took us to Africa when
I was a kid,” he said. “We
went to Kenya and Tanzania
and saw how the Maasai
live. They are so confident,
so stoic, and so happy.”
Those adjectives describe
Jenner himself, although he
is humble and non-assuming
and seems entirely unaware
that is true.
“Travel has broadened
my human horizon and
shown me that I was very
lucky to grow up in Malibu,
in wonderful America
and in our wonderful state
of California,” he said. “I
never forget that I and my
family are so very lucky.”
A man of many interests
and talents, Jenner strives
to achieve a balance between
creative endeavors
and family life.
“I’m a bit obsessed with
personal growth,” he said.
“I am really working on
time management. Whatever
you focus on in life,
your energy will be flowing
into that effort.”
Jenner’s fans anxiously
await his next EP, which is
scheduled to release in May.

Boys Tennis
Team welcomes star newcomer, new coach
Senior captain
Cohen remains at
top of his game
Ryan Flynn
Freelance Reporter
It’s a new day for Sharks
boys tennis.
Bruce Young, a longtime
assistant with the team, is
now the head coach, replacing
Todd Montgomery
at the helm. Montgomery,
who coached both the boys
and girls teams in recent
years, will only coach the
girls this season.
Young has head coaching
experience and is very
familiar with the team after
serving as the top assistant
last year. His goal is to win
the Tri-Valley League. After
a loss to Simi Valley on
March 6, his team is off to
a 1-2 start.
The coach is confident,
but is looking to the Thacher,
Cate, Villanova and
Nordhoff games to see how
his squad will match up.
“Not playing [them] yet,
you just don’t know how
good we are,” Young said.
As usual, the team had
a preseason ladder, where
the Malibu players all competed
against one another
to determine who are the
No. 1, 2 and 3 players in
singles. Malibu’s top player
is Bennett Cohen, the senior
captain.
“He likes the physical
part,” Young said. “He likes
the running and exercise.
[He brings] leadership.”
Second is a newcomer,
freshman Alex Roesler.
Roesler has been playing
tennis for years, training
under star coach Forrest
Stewart.

March 6. Photos by Suzy Demeter/22nd Century Media
“His serve is good. His
attitude is good,” Young
said. “He learned from Forrest
so his stroke is very
Forrest-like. He loves tennis.
“I remember when he
was in sixth grade he was
up here practicing serves
by himself. So, that’s what
you’ve got to do if you take
tennis seriously.”
Third on the ladder is
Jake Saul, a hard-hitting
veteran player. These three,
along with the doubles
teams, make up a promising
Malibu squad looking
to have a great 2018 campaign.
The team lines up at beginning of game.
“I’m looking forward to
it,” Young said. “The kids
are nice kids. I wouldn’t be
here if they weren’t.”

play on March 6 in Malibu.

Sharks down Bishop Diego 4-1 at home
Ryan Flynn
Freelance Reporter
The Sharks came into the
season down a man.
Junior pitcher Tanner
Rubin is out with an injury,
likely for the season,
so coach Billy Ashley has
had to be inventive with his
pitching rotation. Thus far,
despite a 2-4 start, the signs
have been encouraging.
“Pitching is at a premium
right now,” Ashley
said. “We don’t have a lot
of guys, but our starters are
pretty solid and they can
go deep into games. Fortunately,
I have a couple of
[other] guys who can throw
the ball, but they’re not really
pitchers.”
Lewis Baron is one of the
available arms that Malibu
will rely on. Baron had his
first start at the varsity level
on Friday, March 9, and
the junior led his team to a
4-1 victory against visiting
Bishop Diego.
Junior Colter Barish put
his team on the board in the
first inning with an RBI single
to right field. In the second
inning sophomore Alec
Morrison started things off
with a leadoff double. Morrison
then stole third, setting
up senior SJ Murphy
to bat him in with an RBI
single to center field.
With his team up 2-0,
Baron continued to deal.
The third and fourth innings
were both three-up,
three-down.
In the top of the fifth inning,
with the Sharks up
3-0, Ashley got to see his
new pitcher perform while
facing adversity. Baron hit
the first batter, gave up a
single and then walked the
third batter to face the bases

loaded with no outs.
Baron struck out the next
batter, drawing cheers from
the crowd. He hit the next
batter, walking in a run. The
top of the order was due up
next, but Baron remained in
the game. The junior wasn’t
rattled. He forced a fly out
and a ground out, getting
out of the inning with his
team still up 3-1.
Malibu added one more
run and closed out the game
4-1.

the first inning of the Sharks’ Friday, March 9 home game.

Team members gather to listen to coach Billy Ashley.
The Sharks will rely
on their two captains —
seniors Tyler Ray, who
catches, and Chance Irons,
a utility first and third baseman
— to lead the way this
season.
“They lead by example,”
Ashley said. “They just
have a voice with the team
that everyone acknowledges.”
This is a team with high
expectations. Last season,
Malibu had an epic tournament
run in the CIFs, advancing
all the way to the
final four before losing to
Moreno Valley.
“I’m looking forward
to the rest of the season,”
Ashley said. “We start
league next week. I have a
feeling that we’ll be right
there at the top again and
back in the playoffs at
the end of the season and
hopefully move on even
deeper to that championship
game.”

Pepperdine Athletics
Waves beach volleyball holds on to win streak at East Meets West Challenge
Pepperdine’s beach volleyball
team continued its
eight-match winning streak
as it closed out the East
Meets West Challenge Sunday,
March 11, at Manhattan
Beach Pier.
The Waves had tough
matches against No. 9 LSU
and No. 13 FIU but prevailed
with a pair of hardfought
3-2 wins.
In the first match of the
day against LSU, the Waves
lost first sets on four courts
for the Tigers to pull ahead
early. On Court 2, Deahna
Kraft and Corinne Quiggle
stayed tough for a pair of
21-13 set wins to set the
tone and put the Waves up
early on the day. LSU then
took the match on Court 3
to make it 1-1.
The Waves on Courts 1,
4 and 5 battled out second
set wins to force third sets
and stay alive in the match.
Skylar Caputo and Alexis
Filippone won the first
third set to give Pepperdine
the advantage again with a
17-21, 21-19, 15-11 win in
the No. 4 position.
Brook Bauer and Madalyn
Roh hung tough in the
No. 1 position. After dropping
the first set 21-17, the
Waves battled back for a
23-21 second set win. The
pair then clinched the overall
match with a 15-10 third
set win for the Waves. LSU
closed up the morning with
a 15-13 final set win on
Court 5 to make it 3-2.
Against FIU, the Waves
came out strong on three
courts after securing first
set wins on Courts 2-4.
Heidi Dyer and Gigi Hernandez
rolled past their opponents
on Court 3 with a
21-8, 21-9 win to put the
Waves on the board. Caputo
and Filippone followed
with their 12th-consecutive
win of the season with a 22-
20, 21-7 victory for a 2-0
Waves’ lead.
Kraft and Quiggle
clinched the overall win
with a 21-17, 21-9 win in
the No. 2 slot and put Pepperdine
up 3-0. After falling
in the first set on Courts
1 and 5, the Waves battled
back to force third sets on
each court. Despite big efforts,
FIU picked up the
third set wins to make it a
3-2 final dual score.
On Saturday, March 10,
Pepperdine opened the
challenge by collecting a
4-1 win over No. 5 Florida
State and a sweep over No.
20 TCU.
Pepperdine also downed
seventh-ranked Long
Beach State 3-2 at LBSU
on March 7.
Additionally, Caputo
and Filippone garnered
both American Volleyball
Coaches Association
and VolleyMob beach pair
of the week honors, the
university announced on
March 6.
As of March 12, the duo
had a perfect 12-0 record.
WOMEN’S TENNIS
Stefani continues to shine
for Waves
Pepperdine commanded
a 6-1 non-conference victory
against University of
Pennsylvania at Ralphs-
Straus Tennis Center
Thursday, March 8.
The Waves (8-1) clinched
the match over Penn (5-8)
with a two-set win (6-2,
6-3) by Luisa Stefani on
Court 1 over Lina Qostal.
Stefani has an untarnished
4-0 dual record.
In doubles action, the
Waves pulled ahead on
Courts 1 and 2. Ashley
Lahey and Dzina Milovanovic
had a 6-2 victory on
Court 2 to give Pepperdine
the advantage. Then, on
Court 1, Stefani and Evgeniya
Levashova went 6-3
to secure the doubles point
heading into singles.
Although the Waves had
the advantage, a withdrawal
on Court 6 resulted in the
Quakers tying the action
heading into singles play.
Pepperdine was dominating
on all other five courts,
however, winning all first
sets of action. On Court 2,
Levashova went 6-0, 6-1,
and Milovanovic was good
for a 6-0, 6-3 win on Court
4 to put the Waves in a position
to clinch.
Pepperdine did just that
as Stefani went 6-2, 6-3
in the No. 1 position. The
Waves then collected wins
on Courts 3 and 5 to close
the day 6-1 in the Waves’
favor.
Stefani, who is ranked
No. 28 in the Oracle/ITA
singles rankings, also garnered
her 10th-career West
Coast Conference singles
player of the week honor
last week. It was the second
of the season for Stefani.
MEN’S AND WOMEN’S TRACK
Two Waves record all-time
Top 5 finishes
Scottie Sandlin and Kevin
Maeda turned in a pair of
fourth-place finishes, and
Sheridan Davis and Brandon
Davis posted times
good for the program’s alltime
Top 5 lists as the Pepperdine
men’s and women’s
track teams competed at a
rainy Ben Brown Invitational
Saturday, March 10.
Sandlin, a freshman, was
fourth in the women’s 400
meters, and was followed by
fellow freshman Taleah Phillips
in fifth place.
Maeda, a senior, was
fourth in the men’s mile.
Sophomore Jalen Frantal
came in fifth.
Freshman Sheridan Davis
took sixth in the women’s
100 hurdles with a
time of 16.30, putting her
at No. 5 on the Waves’ alltime
Top 5 in the event.
Sheridan Davis was also
sixth in the 100 meters.
The Waves’ best-finishing
female runners in the
other events were Sandlin
in the 200, freshman Cassidy
Aberson in the 800 and
freshman Lindsay Sanger
in the mile.
Freshman Brandon Davis
had a PR and took
eighth place in the men’s
400 with a time of 52.36,
keeping him at No 4 on that
event’s Top 5.
Sophomore Treet Allison
was fifth in the 800 meters.
MEN’S GOLF
Waves tie for 6th
Pepperdine’s Clay Feagler
posted his fourth Top 6
finish in his last four events
to lead the men’s golf team
to a tie for sixth place at
the prestigious Southern
Highlands Collegiate on
Wednesday, March 7.
Feagler tied for third
place with a 5-under 211
(68-72-71). He had 12 birdies
over the three days.
Sophomore Joshua Mc-
Carthy had Pepperdine’s
best round at 2-under, moving
him up to a tie for 16th
place with an even-par 216
(73-73-70). He had a teambest
13 birdies overall.
Junior Sahith Theegala
took 19th place with
a 1-over 217 (73-73-71).
His best round of the tournament,
1-under, featured
four birdies, including
ones on 17 and 18 to end it.
Theegala’s 55th career below-par
round moved him
into a tie for second place
on the Waves’ all-time list
with coach Michael Beard.
The Waves posted wins
over Alabama, Illinois,
UCLA and BYU and tied
Oklahoma. Three Top 10
and four Top 20 teams finished
ahead of Pepperdine,
and all six are in the Top 40.
The Waves finished eight
shots out of first place.
MEN’S VOLLEYBALL
Waves fall 3-1 at UCLA
The men’s volleyball
team fell 3-1 to UCLA in
Pauley Pavilion March 7,
with the Bruins winning after
securing 25-17, 17-25,
26-24 and 25-17 set scores.
David Wieczorek —
who leads the conference
in points/set, aces/set and
kills/set and is second in
hitting percentage — had
16 kills, .419 hitting percentage,
three digs and two
blocks (one solo).
Robert Mullahey — who
is second in the conference
in assists/set — had 37 assists
and eight digs.
BASEBALL
Pepperdine faces CSUN
The baseball team scored
four first-inning runs and
added two more in the
third, more than enough
for Wave ace Wil Jensen
as he struck out six during
the Waves’ 6-1 victory over
CSUN Friday, March 9, at
Eddy D. Field Stadium.
On Sunday, March 11,
Pepperdine used another
strong pitching performance
to take Game 1 of
a doubleheader 3-2 against
CSUN, but couldn’t complete
the three-game series
sweep as the Waves gave
up four homers in game
two and lost to the Matadors
8-4.
Five Waves had multiple
hits in Game 2 on Sunday.
