SMMUSD Board of Education
PCB remediation plans reach crossroads
Board considers
options for district’s
Malibu facilities
Michele Willer-Allred
Freelance Reporter
Should work continue
and funds be spent to abate
Polychlorinated Biphenyls
and modernize old buildings
at Malibu High School,
or should new buildings be
constructed to meet 21st
century learning demands?
The Santa Monica-Malibu
Unified School District
Board of Education pondered
that question at its
Thursday, April 12 meeting,
and agreed the district
should continue to explore
reconstructing the high
school to support student
learning in the 21st century.
The board also agreed that
the district should explore
slowing or stopping planned
modernization work, including
PCB abatement, in preparation
for building replacement
at the high school.
The issue is to return to
the board on May 3, when
they will decide if and how
much PCB abatement work
should be done over the
summer if the goal is to
reconstruct MHS. Before
May 3, District Superintendent
Ben Drati is expected
to meet with Malibu school
officials regarding the issue.
Drati has already met
with an advisory committee,
which has discussed if
Malibu is interested in having
its own School Facilities
Improvement District and
a separate bond measure to
help its own schools with
improvement projects.
“During that conversation,
the Malibu constituency
actually requested that
“One of the questions that really came up from
our community was, why are we spending money
abating and also modernizing these old buildings
at Malibu High School that really aren’t working
for us?”
Carey Upton — SMMUSD chief operations officer
we wait on the work that
needs to be done this summer,”
Drati said.
In a separate action on
Thursday, the board unanimously
requested action
by the Los Angeles County
Board of Supervisors to
authorize the formation of
separate SFIDs in Malibu
and Santa Monica. It would
still need to go in front of
the School Board for a final
vote in order to place the issue
on the November ballot.
In the meantime, the district’s
facility division plans
to continue modernization
work of pre-1979 buildings
at MHS and Juan Cabrillo
Elementary over the summer
and through 2019.
The district is under a
court order to replace all
pre-1979 windows and door
frames at both schools, or
stop using buildings with
PCBs by Dec. 31, 2019.
Modernization work also
includes new flooring, interior
paint, and ceilings in
buildings at both schools,
and improving ineffective
spaces, such as the old gym,
dark room, and science labs
at the high school.
The library and administrative
building at the high
school, and the middle
school “E” building are already
being replaced.
Carey Upton, the school
district’s chief operations
officer, said the district has
a plan to complete the court
order, along with the modernization,
by the deadline,
but there were discussions
by the committee to possibly
replace all pre-1979
buildings at the high school.
Upton said the conversation
shifted following discussion
of a general bond to
possibly fund the project.
“One of the questions that
really came up from our
community was, why are
we spending money abating
and also modernizing these
old buildings at Malibu High
School that really aren’t
working for us?” Upton said.
“So, the real question
really became, maybe we
should look a little differently
on how we are moving
forward and maybe take a
pause on that?” he said.
As education has continued
to change, Upton said
MHS hasn’t functioned particularly
well because of its
layout, how the rooms and
spaces are arranged, and the
added environmental issues.
Building started back in
the 1950s on the school,
which was built as a middle
school but became a high
school in the 1990s.
Although there’s a desire
to “update and enhance”
the campus, there’s worry
of lingering PCBs tied to
construction that took place
between 1965 and 1979.
Upton said it could take
six years or more to fully
revamp the campus. Modernizing
the buildings could
cost $10 million-$15 million,
he said.
CITY OF MALIBU
Proposed
ORDINANCE
City Council Public Hearing
Malibu City Hall
APRIL 23, 6:30 PM
If work is stopped, all
buildings cannot be used
after Dec. 31, 2019, and the
district would have to return
to the court with the request.
Upton said building a new
campus would also require
approval from the Malibu
City Council and California
Coastal Commission.
“While we can close
buildings to meet the court
order, the challenge is we’re
going to have a hard time
continuing the programs
that make up a high school
without certain buildings,”
Upton said.
Board Member Maria Leon-Vazquez
said she didn’t
feel comfortable with the
board making a decision
for Malibu right now, especially
in light of district split
discussions.
In the past, the district
has issued General Obligation
Facility Bonds to pay
for projects in both Santa
Monica and Malibu.
Before the board’s decision
to pass the resolution
on two separate SFIDs, Upton
explained that, in order
to achieve necessary financing
for important projects,
it may be best to form two
districts to allow greater independence
in facility planning,
projects, and funding.
Bonds may only be issued
following a vote within each
SFID, and bond revenue
raised in each SFID can
only be used for projects in
that district.
Join the City of Malibu City Council for a public hearing to discuss the
proposed Dark Sky Ordinance. The Council encourages public
attendance and participation in the hearing as it considers the
ordinance. The proposed ordinance aims to reduce light pollution to
preserve enjoyment of the night time sky and the City’s rural
environment, reduce impacts on wildlife and natural habitats, and
promote the City’s goal of conserving energy and natural resources.

California Coastal Commission
Malibu hotel lot’s zoning swap gets commission’s blessing
Sycamore Park
controversy, local
assembly bills also
discussed
Suzanne Guldimann
Freelance Reporter
Although only one Malibu-specific
item was on
the Coastal Commission’s
Thursday, April 12 agenda,
several issues with the potential
to impact the community
were discussed at
the meeting in Newport
Beach.
The commission officially
approved a zoning
change amendment
that designates the Malibu
Beach Inn’s parking lot as
commercial property, instead
of open space.
It’s unusual for oceanfront
property to lose its
open space designation,
but in this case, the zoning
change corrected what was
described as a mistake created
during the early years
of the newly incorporated
City of Malibu.
It’s a small but important
step for the owners of the
inn, Mani Brothers Real
Estate Investment Group
in West Hollywood, who
purchased the property in
2015 and acquired an outstanding
Coastal Act violation
as part of the $80 million
transaction. In 2016,
the new owners agreed to
fund construction of two
public beach access stairs,
pay a $200,000 penalty to
the Coastal Commission
to remedy the outstanding
violations, $300,000 to the
Mountains Restoration and
Conservation Authority to
maintain and operate the
access ways, and $425,000
for a crosswalk with a signal
to enable pedestrians to
safely cross PCH.
They also began the process
to address the zoning
inconsistency with the City
of Malibu. That change is
now officially approved.
Commissioners air opinions
on legislative items
The California Coastal
Commission weighed in
on a number of upcoming
legislative items, and raised
concerns over three proposed
bills that could have
a major impact on Malibu,
along with other communities
in the Coastal zone, if
approved.
Assembly Bill 2797, a
bill authored by Malibu-area
Assemblymember Richard
Bloom, was blasted by
coastal activist Susan Jordan.
Jordan explained that
the language in the bill,
intended to fast-track lower
income density-bonus
housing, would potentially
enable developers to override
the Coastal Act.
“It’s all about the words,”
Jordan said, cautioning the
commission about the proposed
legislation’s unintended
consequences.
Coastal Commission
legislative analyst Sarah
Christie agreed that the bill,
as written, is problematic.
“Blowing a hole in the
Coastal Act is not what
they are trying to do,” she
said, after indicating that is
exactly what the bill’s current
language does.
Christie said that Coastal
staff has reached out to the
bill’s sponsors in an effort
to address the issue.
“We were concerned and
advocated for the coastal
zone to be excluded,” said
Christie, explaining that
when the request was rejected
the staff endeavored
to compromise.
“We are trying to make
it less bad,” she said. “If
that’s not successful, [staff]
will ask the commission
for a formal motion to oppose.”
Commission Chairwoman
Dayna Bochco concurred.
“If it is not going to improve,
I think we ought to
take a position on it,” she
said.
Senate Bill 827 also
received extensive criticism
during public comment.
Activist Jill Stewart,
speaking for the Coalition
to Preserve LA, described
the bill as “the single worst
example of legislative ignorance”
she had ever seen,
and “a terrible idea.”
The bill, authored by
Bay Area state Sen. Scott
Weiner, seeks to exempt
development along transportation
corridors from the
California Environmental
Quality Act, Local Coastal
Programs and municipal
zoning for height, parking,
and density. It “defines
transportation” corridor as
any major road having bus
service every 15 minutes
during peak commuting
Visit us online at MalibuSurfsideNews.com
hours, or within a quartermile
of a transportation
hub.
“It’s terrible for the
coastal zone and for producing
affordable housing,”
Stewart said.
The commission is expected
to take a position on
both bills at a future meeting.
The commissioners voted
to oppose AB 2754, a
bill introduced by Marinarea
Assemblymember
Marc Levine.
“AB 2754 would amend
the Coastal Act to exclude
agricultural activities,”
Christie explained. “They
would no longer require a
Coastal Development Permit
unless there is a finding
of special impact.”
The legal analyst provided
a partial list of activities
that would be excluded, including
cultivation tillage,
dairying, vineyards and
even raising animals for the
fur trade.
“The assumption that
those activities don’t cause
impacts to coastal resources
is quite a sweeping assumption,”
Christie said.
“It dramatically changes
the balance for how coastal
resource protection is
brought to bear.”
“The legislature is seeking
a solution to a problem
that does not exist,” Coastal
Commission Executive Director
Jack Ainsworth said.
If AB 2754 passes, it
could potentially have an
impact on Malibu and unincorporated
Los Angeles
County, where vineyards
and animal husbandry have
been major points of contention
in recent years.
On the other hand, two
bills received the panel’s
blessing.
One of those was AB
2864, which specifies the
Coastal Commission as a
trustee agency in the advent
of an oil spill. As a trustee
agency, the CCC would
take a key role in assessing
damages, and determining
fines for the operator to
cover clean up and restoration.
AB 2614 also received
unanimous support. The
bill proposes a program
to provide disadvantaged
youth with outdoor recreation
opportunities. In the
Malibu area, that would
mean bus trips to the beach
and the Santa Monica
Mountains.
Sycamore Park battle
subject of MRCA public
comment
Malibu was also briefly
discussed during public
comment, when Mountains
Restoration and Conservation
Authority spokesperson
Jessica Nguyen
presented her agency’s
perspective on the dispute
between the MRCA and
Sycamore Park homeowners
who object to the public
using the neighborhood’s
private proscriptive easement
to access MRCA
property at the end of the
single-lane road.
The MRCA and its sister
agency, the Santa Monica
Mountains Conservancy,
counter that buying the
property gives them the
right to open the road to the
public. The agencies see the
road and the property as an
essential trailhead for and
link to the Coastal Slope
Trail and also to the highly
popular Escondido Canyon
Park, which regularly experiences
overflow crowds at
the Winding Way trailhead
on Pacific Coast Highway.
Nguygen described the
escalating situation as “the
most recent outrageous access
issue in Malibu,” and
shared cellphone camera
video of MRCA Executive
Director Joe Edmiston in
an argument over access
with the homeowners’ security
guard.
Nguygen criticized the
City of Malibu for issuing
a notice of violation for the
picnic tables, garbage cans
and signage installed on the
MRCA property without
a Conditional Use Permit,
and for failing to issue a
NOV to the homeowners
who she said installed a kiosk
for the security guard,
also without a CUP.
No one from the homeowners
group was there to
present their perspective on
the issue, but at least one
commissioner was swift to
side with the MRCA.
“I try and be optimistic
about the City of Malibu’s
shared desire to enhance
public access,” responded
Commissioner Mark Vargas,
adding that he hoped
the situation could be resolved
by commission and
City staff. “A Notice of
Violation for park signage
and a bench is not in [the
City of Malibu’s] best interest.”
“I’m really disappointed
in the City of Malibu for
opening on a NOV over a
picnic table,” Ainsworth
said. “This comes on the
heel of the City turning
over a new leaf.”

Malibuites join in lively celebration of Chumash culture
Eric Billingsley
Freelance Reporter
Hundreds of individuals
and families representing
Native American tribes
in California and beyond
gathered at Malibu Bluffs
Park on Saturday, April 14,
for the first day of the twoday
20th annual Chumash
Day Powwow & Intertribal
Gathering.
The City of Malibusponsored
event, which
was open to the public and
took place from 10 a.m.-
6 p.m. on Saturday and
Sunday, included a steady
stream of Native American
drumming, songs, dances,
invocations, blessings and
vendors selling a variety of
wears.
“I came here to dance
around the sea and pray
with my feet,” said Bernard
Baga, dressed in dance regalia
of forest green, turquoise,
tan, black, leather
fringe, with bells on his
ankles and feathers on his
head and back.
Baga lives in Lee, Nevada,
and is from the Shoshone
reservation.
This is Baga’s third time
participating in Malibu’s
Chumash Day.
“I feel good here,” he
said. “Prayer is what this is
all about.”
Powwows are gatherings
where Native Americans
join together in dancing,
singing, visiting, renewing
old friendships and making
new ones, according to the
website Powwows.com.
It’s a time to renew their
culture and preserve their
heritage.
Some powwows are social,
such as Chumash Day,
and others include dance
competitions. An emcee
and arena director keep
the events organized, and
songs — a central part of
gatherings — might cover
religious, war and social
themes.
Common dance styles include
Chicken, Grass, Fancy,
Straight and Northern
Traditional for men, and
Buckskin, Cloth, Jingle
and Fancy Shawl for
women, according to the
website. Depending on the
region, other dance styles
might include Smoke, Bird
or Gourd dancing.
“We love seeing all the
dancers, costumes and visiting
the vendors,” said
Rebekha Wolf, who lives
in Ventura and attended
with her husband, Khohala
Wolf, and dog Bentley.

“On behalf of the City
of Malibu, it’s my honor to
welcome you back to your
home,” La Monte said.
“The spirit [of this event]
has never slacked in 20
years. It has only gotten
better every year.”
La Monte carried the
City of Malibu flag during
the grand entry.
Chumash Day is designed
to celebrate the indigenous
people who once
occupied an area stretching
from San Luis Obispo to
Malibu, inland to the San
Joaquin Valley, and Anacapa,
Santa Cruz, San Miguel
and Santa Rosa islands.
Today, Malibu is home to
the historical Wishtoyo
Chumash Village, located
at Nicholas Canyon Beach.
Prior to the grand entry,
organizers stoked a fire in
the middle of the arena.
Then, Chumash, Navajo,
Shoshone, Aztec, Apache
and people from many other
tribes entered the arena
in their colorful attire.
The emcee acknowledged
participants as they
passed and danced by. At
one point, he encouraged
attendees and participants
to greet people around
them.
“It’s important to see
people I haven’t seen all
year,” said Edward Coyote
Munoz, who lives in Ventura
and is parts Chumash,
Apache and Yacqui.
He attended his first
powwow in 1983 and participates
in drumming and
singing.
“The main thing is we’re
singing for people who are
alive and the ones who are
not here anymore,” he said,
adding they also sing for
Mother Earth. “The songs
can be very touching, and
all the songs we sing are
considered prayer.”
Bella Rodriguez, 18,
lives in San Fernando and
is part of the Ho-Chunk Nation
in Wisconsin. She has
been dancing at powwows
since she was 11 years old,
and this year was her second
time participating in
Chumash Day.
“I like staying connected
to the culture and keeping it
alive,” said Rodriguez, who
flashed a bright smile while

“Powwows are the place
... a second family to me,”
she added. “I think it’s awesome
when visitors come
and we’re able to teach
them about our culture.”

LASD task force catches burglary crew red-handed
Four men believed
to be behind Malibu
burglaries, too
Staff Report
Four male teenagers
from Los Angeles were arrested
by Malibu/Lost Hills
Sheriff’s deputies April 10,
after they were reportedly
observed committing a burglary
in Agoura Hills.
The men are believed
to be responsible for recent
burglaries in Malibu,
among other locations, according
to an April 10 release
from the Los Angeles
County Sheriffs Department
Information Bureau.
According to police, the
suspects who were detained
are: Hector Prestegui, 19,
who has a history of burglary
and theft related arrests;
Pedro Calderon, 19,
who has a criminal history
related to burglary and possession
of burglary tools;
Miguel Esparza, 19, who
has a criminal history related
to burglary and trespassing;
and Jose Guatemala,
18, who has a criminal history
related to burglary.
All four men were
booked on charges of residential
burglary with a
$50,000 bail.
Investigators from Los

Police believe the crew is behind similar crimes in Malibu
and beyond. Photos Courtesy LASD
Crimes Bureau’s Burglary-
Robbery Task Force reportedly
observed the alleged
burglars in action around
11 a.m. on April 10.
“The incident began
when the BRTF detectives
observed the suspects in a
black Nissan Altima Sedan,
slowly driving through an
Agoura Hills neighborhood,”
the release states.
“The vehicle parked in
front of a residence where
three suspects exited the
vehicle and entered the side
yard of a residence. After
several minutes, detectives
watched the three suspects
emerge from the front door
of the residence. The suspects
appeared to be carrying
bags and property with
them as they quickly entered
the suspect vehicle.”
The suspects allegedly
took property, including
cash and jewelry, valued at
$12,000. They were then
detained onsite by deputies.
“Detectives from the
Lost Hills Station are handling
the criminal filing and
ongoing investigation,” the
release states. “They will
coordinate with detectives
from nearby law enforcement
agencies as well as
Ventura County detectives
and determine if these suspects
were involved in additional
recent residential
burglaries.”
Police encourage Malibu
residents who have been
victims of a similar crime,
or who have information
on the suspects, to call the
Malibu/Lost Hills Station
at (818) 878-1808. Anonymous

About the task force
LASD’s Burglary-
Robbery Task Force was
formed eight years ago to
combat an increase in daytime,
residential burglaries.
“These crews, often
formed by gang members,
utilize high-end luxury vehicles
to blend into middle
class and affluent neighborhoods
where they break
into homes and businesses,
ransacking and stealing
valuables such as cash,
jewelry and weapons,” the
release states.
Officials remind residents
and business owners
to secure their belongings,
and to remain alert. The

Two honored at DAR’s Women in Military Luncheon
Barbara Burke
Freelance Reporter
The Malibu Chapter
of the Daughters of the
American Revolution held
its 21st annual Women in
Military Luncheon April 7
at Pepperdine.
The organization honored
two worthy Malibuites:
Capt. Grace Y. Lee,
who is currently pursuing
her master’s degree at Pepperdine’s
Graziadio School
of Business through the
Army Chief of Staff’s Performance
Based Graduate
School Incentive Program,
and Dr. Ericha Hitchcock
Scott, a licensed professional
clinical counselor
and internationally certified
advanced addiction counselor.
Patricia (Tica) O’Neill,
Malibu Chapter Regent,
opened the proceedings,
and Trident Squadron 65
Sea Cadets of Point Mugu
posted the colors. Kim
Lucas, Malibu honorary regent
and committee chair,
honored the veterans in attendance.
Lee was recognized for
her military education and
service. She is trained as a
chemical, biological, radiological
and nuclear officer,
and her past assignments
in that field include being
deployed to Kuwait in support
of Operation Enduring
Freedom and serving as the
lead Logistics Officer at
Camp Stanley, South Korea.
Her awards and decorations
include the Global
War on Terrorism Expeditionary
Medal, the Korean
Defense Service Medal,
and the Overseas Service
Ribbon.
“I am most honored to
receive this recognition and
I look forward to my next
assignment upon my graduation
from Pepperdine,”
Lee told the attendees.
She also shared that she
is married to Capt. Mangue
Hong, and the couple is expecting
their first baby.
“Many of my soldiers
that I have overseen in my
squadron have had children
while I supervised them,”
she said. “I tried to be sensitive
to that, but I am not
sure that I totally understood
all the challenges of
balancing motherhood and
being a soldier. However, I
soon will.”
The crowd laughed
heartily at that prediction.
In conferring the Citizenship
Award on Scott, the
Malibu DAR recognized
that she works tirelessly
to heal people through her
professional practice and
assists persons who are addicted
or who are facing
other psychological hardships.
In addition to utilizing
traditional therapeutic
psychological treatment
modalities, Scott employs
her innovative program,
Art Speaks Out Loud
(www.artspeaksoutloud.
org), which integrates the
creative art therapies into
trauma and addiction treatment.
Scott is a registered
expressive arts therapist
who has been recognized
in countless professional
peer-reviewed publications.
“My maternal grandmother
was a member of the
DAR in Tennessee and she
spoke of them as a worthy
service group,” Scott told
Malibu Surfside News after
receiving the award. “Our
ancestor, William Chenault,
fought in the Revolutionary
War. The Malibu DAR
women are kind, hardworking,
generous, inclusive
and welcoming.”
Scott was honored to be
recognized with the Citizenship
Award.
“If you had known me in
childhood, you would not
have imagined me standing
here,” Scott said as she received
the award. “I failed
the fourth grade and I nearly
failed it twice.”
“It is important that we
do not undervalue ourselves
and our potential to
contribute,” Scott added.
“I think we contribute best
when we love people, close
and far, alike and different,
deserving or not.”

Pepperdine hosts information-rich Climate Calling Conference
Event participants
propose achievable
solutions to global
environmental crisis
Barbara Burke
Freelance Reporter
Pepperdine University’s
fifth annual Climate Calling
Conference on April
10-12 focused on solutions,
not histrionic lamentations.
The event began on April
10 with a Sustainability
and Wellness Fair featuring
booths with information
and products aimed at
educating attendees about
issues that have a daily impact
on Malibu and beyond.
“Pepperdine’s Earth
Day was part of a larger
University Sustainability
and Wellness Fair called
Healthy Planet, Healthy
You, and included a campus
farmers market and
health fair,” said Emily
Mead, coordinator for sustainability,
governmental
and regulatory affairs for
the university. “We focused
on the intersection between
sustainability and wellness.
Air and water quality, access
to healthy foods, management
of environmental
toxins and pollution are all
at the core of holistic sustainability
efforts.”
Several hundred people
attended the fair, which included
vendors such as the
Santa Monica Mountains
Fund, the National Park
Service’s official nonprofit
fundraising partner for
protecting and restoring
habitats, mountain trails,
wildlife research, and educational
outreach.
Students living on campus
are in a somewhat insular
environment and many
were surprised to hear that
SAMO and Poison Free
Malibu are making efforts
to ban rodenticides and other
insecticides which poison
wildlife. Many students
also did not know about
Malibu’s expanded plastic
ban, which, as of June 1,
will not allow plastic straws
or utensils. Nonprofit organizations
were on hand to
provide metal straws and
reusable utensils.
The West Basin Municipal
Water District Program
joined in the outreach efforts,
informing attendees
about how to configure
ocean-friendly gardens,
and noting that Malibu
Bluffs Park employs such
sustainability techniques.
Pepperdine now reuses
and repurposes its wastewater
and recycles it to water
its grass. Techniques utilized
for such sustainability
efforts were the subject of
student research presentations
on April 12, as were
issues relative to the plight
of climate refugees.
Energy Upgrade California,
a statewide initiative
committed to increasing
energy efficiency and conservation,
provided practical
tips such as unplugging
electronics, washing
clothes on the cold cycle
and using LED light bulbs.
The Malibu Community
Alliance educated about
Malibu’s Dark Sky initiatives,
which is expected to
be considered by the Malibu
City Council in the near
future.
“We want people to think
of light the way they think
of water,” said Julie Tobias,
an Alliance Board Member.
“You should use it only
where and when needed.
Don’t waste it. Turn it off
and conserve it.”
Dean Harvey, business
manager of Global Green.

food waste so that it is composted
as fertilizer and encouraged
green building.
“These are ways that we
can solve what we can do
to transform food waste
into a resource and how we
can build structures that are
most energy efficient,” he
said.
Students were impressed
and engaged in the event.
“This sustainability fair
has really helped us to see
more about how our school
and the greater community
can make efforts to increase
our knowledge to solve environmental
problems,”
Pepperdine freshman Ashley
Jones said.
Hawken talks global
warming, more
On April 11, Paul
Hawken, author and executive
director of nonprofit
Project Drawdown, delivered
the keynote speech in
the Elkins Auditorium.
Hawken’s speech was
presented by the Malibu
Library Speaker Series in
conjunction with Pepperdine.
“We know that we cannot
avoid the cataclysmic
impacts of global warming
by focusing on achieving
zero net carbon emissions;
we must also rapidly resequester
carbon,” says the
forward to “Drawdown –
The Most Comprehensive
Plan Ever Proposed To
Reverse Global Warming,”
Hawken’s New York Times
bestseller.
“Malibu is a special
place surrounded by ocean
and mountains, and it is
uniquely positioned to be
a leader in finding environmental
solutions,” Jefferson
Wagner, Malibu’s
mayor pro tem, told event
attendees. “If a community
as small as Malibu
can ban plastic straws and
take other environmentally
sound actions, then others
will look at Malibu as
a beacon of hope showing
the world that yes, you can
do something about climate
change.”
Hawken is a sustainability
pioneer who examines
what is happening with
the climate and determines
what humans can do to address
imminent and forthcoming
perils. He first
wrote “The Ecology of
Commerce – A Declaration
of Sustainability” in 1993.
He founded Erewhon natural-foods
grocery stores,
a name derived from the
utopian novel written in the
1870s by Samuel Butler.
He is a thought leader,
a disruptor, a theorist and,
most importantly, a pragmatist.
“We need to change the
relationship between corporations
and the environment
in order to address climate
change effectively,”
Hawken told a standingroom-only
crowd.
Associate Professor
Chris Doran spoke of how
Hawken was once interviewed
by Bill Maher
“about how tenable that
principle is, given how
behemoth many corporations
that are not environmentally
conscious are,” to
which Hawken simply said,
“ideas surpass corruption.”
Project Drawdown is a
nonprofit organization and
coalition of scholars, scientists,
entrepreneurs and
advocates worldwide that
are mapping, measuring,
modeling, and communicating
about a collective array
of substantive solutions
to global warming, with
the goal of reaching drawdown.
“Drawdown is the point
in time when the concentration
of atmospheric
greenhouse gases begins
to decline on a year-toyear
basis,” Hawken explained.
“Project Drawdown’s
research program
has developed realistic,
solution-specific models,
technical assessments, and
policy memos projecting
the financial and climate
impacts of existing solutions
deployed at scale over
the next 30 years.”
Though his presentation
was data-intensive,
Hawken had the attendees
at hello.
He displayed data that
established that there are
some solutions that can
address and ameliorate
climate change. Mankind
need not be fatalistic. Climate
change is a paradigm
example of instinctive fight
or flight. Given that there is
no flight available, mankind
must fight by incorporating
solutions that are feasible
— and it must act quickly,
Hawken emphasized.
Project Drawdown evaluated
over 100 solutions,
looking for criteria such as
whether a proposed solu-

California Wildlife Center aids sea lion pup on PCH
Lauren Coughlin, Editor
A young, female California
sea lion was in the
wrong place at the right
time on the morning of
April 9.
The marine mammal was
spotted waddling along
Pacific Coast Highway, on
the beach side, by Malibu
resident Carol Hahn, who
swiftly pulled over and
called the California Wildlife
Center.
“Luckily, the little [sea
lion] waddled right under
my car, and laid there, until
the CWC came,” Hahn
wrote in an email to the
Surfside News. “An LA
County Sheriff car saw me,
and pulled up behind me,
left his lights on, so that no
one could stop or park behind
me.”
Heather Henderson, the
stranding coordinator for
the center’s marine mammal
response and rehabilitation,
came to the animal’s
rescue.
“[The sea lion was] extremely
lucky definitely
due to the caring person
who sat with it as well as
the sheriffs — just all the
great people that we have
here in community that do
the best they can to try to
help prevent further injury
to our marine mammals,”
Henderson said.
Henderson said the sea
lion did not have any apparent
injuries, but she was
severely malnourished,
coming in at about 10.5
kilograms — more than
half of the normal weight
(roughly 25-30 kilograms)
for a sea lion its age.
Wildlife officials believe
the animal was about
9 months old. Typically,
Henderson said, sea lion
pups stay with their moms
for about 10 months, so this
one may have strayed a bit
early.
Henderson said the sea
lion was likely seeking
warmth and comfort.

Unusual Mortality Events
of 2013-2017, Henderson

Carol Hahn’s car when she pulled over to call wildlife
rescuers.
said this behavior was more
common, but it’s not normal
for a sea lion to behave
this way in normal conditions,
she said.
The sea lion was transported
to the Marine Mammal
Care Center in San Pedro,
where it will be treated.
While CWC has its own
marine mammal facility,
the enclosure is currently
inhabited by 16 Northern
elephant seal pups which
are the focus of in-house
researchers’ current efforts.
Based on an initial analysis,
Henderson said the sea
lion appeared to have a
good chance of responding
to care.

tion is economically feasible,
will reduce greenhouse
gasses, can be implemented
globally or will cause any
negative results, such as
reducing food security or
causing pollution.
Many of the most effective
solutions surprised
some attendees. For instance,
at the top of the solutions
was educating girls
worldwide — the more educated
they are, the better
childbearing choices young
women will make, and the
more they can contribute
to economies, the research
reasoned. Another solution
is for people to eat less
food and stop food waste.
Finally, re-carbonization by
allowing soil to regenerate
is another achievable and
effective solution.
“We have to use regenerative
agriculture if we’re
going to change the climate’s
problems,” Bruce
Shultz, a West Malibu organic
farmer said. “People
don’t understand the impact
regenerative agriculture
can have. Using pesticides
interrupts the natural photosynthesis
process which
will only function correctly
when the soil is stable. It’s
that fundamental and basic.
People should also not use
fertilizers and RoundUp on
their lawns.”
Hawken concurred and
noted that his next book,
“Regeneration,” is forthcoming.
The Climate Calling conference
ended with a media
festival, showcasing art in
many genres by Pepperdine
students addressing climate
change. Amanda Stark, a
Climate Change Conference
intern, was the firstplace
winner, presenting a
watercolor focusing on the
impact of climate change
on developing nations.
The climate is indeed
calling for solutions. Once
again, Pepperdine coordinated
a consortium that
seeks to help in answering
that call.

MALIBU SURFSIDE NEWS is looking
for local FREELANCE REPORTERS
and PHOTOGRAPHERS to cover events,
meetings and sports in the area.
Interested individuals should send an email with a

MALIBU'S TOP SOURCE

MALIBU SURFSIDE NEWS
Scientists eye ideal
wildlife crossing locales
Submitted by the National
Park Service
A new report offers recommendations
on the location
and type of wildlife
crossing structures proposed
for two of the busiest
freeways in the world.
Interstate 15 in western
Riverside County and U.S.
101 in Los Angeles and
Ventura Counties bisect
large areas of natural habitat
and serve as major barriers
to wildlife movement
and gene flow, especially
for mountain lions.
The report summarizes
the input from some of the
world’s foremost experts on
wildlife connectivity and
crossing structures and combines
it with landscape characteristics
and wildlife data
to prioritize locations for
wildlife crossings. The experts
evaluated locations that
would improve connectivity
for all kinds of wildlife,
including for the imperiled
mountain lion populations
in the Santa Ana and Santa
Monica Mountains.
“The loss of mountain lions
in this area could have
potentially harmful impacts
on this ecosystem,” said
Seth Riley, report co-author
and wildlife ecologist at
Santa Monica Mountains
National Recreation Area.
“Wildlife in the Santa Monica
Mountains is essentially
trapped on an island of habitat,
and a crossing structure
would allow two-way
migration to increase gene
flow generally, and specifically
increase genetic diversity
for mountain lions.”
Genetic diversity levels
for mountain lions in the
Santa Ana and Santa Monica
mountains are lower
than have been measured
anywhere else in the west.
Only the endangered Florida
panthers, which suffered
from severe genetic defects
before the introduction of
females from Texas, have
been found to have lower
genetic diversity.
Wildlife crossing structures
would allow juvenile
mountain lions, among
other wildlife, to move
out of larger populations
from east of the Santa Ana
Mountains and north of the
Santa Monica Mountains
into the isolated coastal
mountain ranges.
The report evaluated 11
potential locations in the
Santa Ana Mountains and
seven in the Santa Monica
Mountains. Each site was
rated for evidence of wildlife
use, including mountain
lions, landscape connectivity,
and the extent to
which land was protected
or at risk of development.
Specific recommendations
include:
• Construction of a new
wildlife overpass over I-15
south of Temecula Creek
Bridge, as well as enhancements
to the area underneath
the existing bridge.
• Construction of a new
wildlife overpass over the
101 Freeway at the West
Liberty Canyon site. A tunnel
option was deemed inferior
because constructing
a tunnel large enough to
serve a broad range of species
would be prohibitively
expensive and complicated
from an engineering perspective.
• Accompanying measures
such as effective
wildlife fencing to funnel
animals to crossing points
and appropriate vegetative
cover on or near structures
are critically important.
• In both mountain ranges,
additional locations offer
the potential for new
construction or enhancements
that could provide
secondary crossing sites.
Caltrans, along with numerous
other partners, is
currently working on a plan
to build a wildlife crossing
over the 101 Freeway in the
Liberty Canyon area and
last fall released the draft
initial study and environmental
assessment for the
project.
Informed by this study,
last week The Nature
Conservancy acquired approximately
73 acres in
the Rainbow Canyon area
along I-15 near Temecula,
a critical property needed
for the placement of one of
the highest priority wildlife
crossings identified in the
report.
UC Davis researchers
are teaming with civil engineering
faculty and students
at Cal Poly Pomona
and Caltrans, with the support
of the NCCP Local Assistance
Grant program and
the San Diego Association
of Governments, to better
define the most feasible locations
and types of crossing
structure modifications
that could improve the ability
of mountain lions and
other wildlife to cross I-15
in the future, including a
future Rainbow Canyon
crossing in the area where
The Conservancy purchased
land.

Fit for Malibu
Catching some ‘AIR’ at Malibu Fitness
Lori Corbin
Contributing Columnist
Malibu resident
At 7:15 a.m. on a
recent morning, a
group of women
were already catching
‘AIR’ in Malibu.
They were not on surfboards,
but at the AIR bar
workout at Malibu Fitness.
That’s where instructor
and creator of the program,
Kiya Knight, can be heard
belting out, “Booty baby
all day long.”
“Hit that transverse
plane, we’ve got to twist
through those glutes,” she
coached.
AIR stands for active,
internal resistance training.
It’s something so unique
that Knight has patented
the AIR bar used in class,
which helps more than one
would think.
“It makes you feel super
strong so having the bar
in your hand and moving
around with it is empowering
and brings out your
strength,” said student
Erika Muelle, who drives
up from Hermosa Beach
just to take the course.
The idea came to Knight
while teaching a class in
Costa Rica where women
were challenged while
attempting to do deep
hip rotations that Knight
feels are crucial, but often
missing in most workouts.
That’s because they aren’t
always easy to do at first
blush.
“We grabbed sticks that
washed out in the monsoons,”
Knight recalled.
“And all of the women
were able to access their
hips. And after the workout,
the women wanted to
take them home.”
So what exactly is AIR
Bar? There’s a little bit of
yoga, a little bit of cardio,
a little bit of martial arts,
rhythmic dance, kickboxing,
Latin dancing and
even step aerobics. Knight,
who has taught for 18
years, tries to incorporate
all of her favorite fitness
themes.
And that’s one reason
why Malibu Fitness has
AIR Bar in their class
lineup. Owner Lonnie
Galate, who has owned the
gym for 32 years, offers
loads of variety in personal
training and group exercise
workouts. But she is like
many who love exercise
that are always looking for
the next big thing.
“It’s new, it’s different,
it gets people out moving,”
Galate said. “It gets them
off of a bike or a treadmill
and it works so many different
parts of the body.
Young and old can do it.”
Like Missy Tatum.
“I just turned 75 and, for
me, I feel the flexibility,
mobility, you know, the
more you can get is what
keeps you active,” Tatum
said.
She is a Malibuite who
also does indoor cycling,
barre, Pilates, yoga and
TRX.
“It’s a change and it’s
really good,” Tatum said.
“And I see a lot of mixed
ages in here.”
She’s spot on there.
Knight’s sassy teaching
style appeals to a hip and
youthful crowd, but aging
baby boomers appreciate
the balance and stability
her program offers that
is delivered in a unique
format.
Knight emphasizes the
class is used as “a base”
to stabilize the pelvic core
so you can easily do other
things.
Galate reiterated that this
class keeps people moving
in different ways. Like
most fitness professionals,
Galate wants people to get
out of their rut.
AIR is currently offered
at Malibu Fitness on
Monday and Thursdays
at 7:15 a.m. The first AIR
class is free then it’s $25
to drop in. Knight’s online
subscription classes will
roll out next month.

Don’t Panic, It’s Organic
How to control wild onions organically
Andy Lopez
Contributing Columnist
Invisible Gardener
Wild onion is a
cousin of the
wild garlic.
You can taste the garlic
if you chew on a leaf. It
looks like a small garlic
bulb, and will produce
small flowers — just like
onion and garlic. They not
only grow from seeds, but
also spread below ground
through small bulblets.
One way they spread is
from birds that eat it and
spread it in their waste.
Wild onion plants are
difficult to remove and
control because of how
they spread. Many gardeners
cut off the tops, resulting
in more growth! If you
only pull out a part of the
bulb and leave the root and
its small bulblets behind, it
will continue to spread.
I always teach folks the
long-term and short-terms
methods of control.
Here is the long-term
game plan.
It is all about the soil.
Wild onions, like most
plants, will only grow if
certain conditions are met.
Leave the ground alone.
Overwater the plants that
are growing on it. Do not
use compost or add trace
minerals. These are the
conditions wild onions all
grow in.
Change that, and you
will be on your way to
long-term control. You
will also notice that they
require a specific pH to
grow. Guess what pH
your soil is around here
if you do not add organic
matter, compost, etc.? It
will be very high and very
alkaline. Lower the pH
to below 7 pH. It is best
at 6.8; you will not have
wild onions growing in it.
Now, that takes time. Start
by applying rock dust,
live compost and mulch.
You will have to break up
the current soil. What you
want is a living soil with a
pH of 6.8-7.
Here is the short-term
plan.
First, remove as much of
the wild onions as possible.
Start by using a small
shovel to disturb and break
up the soil, being careful
around plants. I would
throw the soil away. Take it
to the dump and do not just
throw it away in a different
part of your property;
otherwise, you would have
only moved the problem.
Make sure you remove
all parts of the plant. Then,
water it, wait about a week
or two and remove any
new growth. Make sure
you dig up the area instead
of pulling the plant out.
Once you are certain
there is nothing coming up,
place a layer of cardboard
and add a mix of compost
and clean soil. Then, pat
it down and add a thin
layer of mulch. It will take
a while to settle down.
Keep an eye on any onion
growth and pull it out as
soon as you see it.
Look around for any
growth in other parts of the
property.
You can kill wild onions,
or any plant, with vinegar

Ride of the Week
French coachbuilt cars park, intrigue at Mullin Automotive Museum
Fireball Tim Lawrence
Contributing Columnist
Malibu resident
The other day, I had
an amazing opportunity
to head
north out of Malibu to
Oxnard for the launch of
an all-new French coachbuilt
exhibit at the Mullin
Automotive Museum.
Head honcho Peter Mullin
and his wife, Merle,
were on hand to introduce
us to the new featured
cars. About 50 cars were
on display, ranging from
Innovative Medicine-Compassionate Care
REMINDER
Rattlesnake Season!
Protect your Pet from Rattlesnakes.
We are here to help.
Call us with any questions or concerns.
Malibu Coast Animal Hospital

www.malibuvets.com
Come visit our showroom
the late 1800s through
the ’20s and ’30s art deco
period. Now, I’ve been to
the Mullin before and seen
their Citroen exhibit, but
this new one capped it by
Peter and Merle displaying
incredible examples
of rolling sculpture from
coachbuilders like Voisin,
Bugatti, Chapron, Bertoni
and others. Overall,
hundreds of millions in
incredible art.
Also featured was painted
art from artist Keith
Collins, who revealed two
new massive pieces for
the museum. I spent the
first hour with professional
docent Tessa Crane as she
took me through the site
and spoke in detail about
each vehicle’s history and
its ultimate landing there.
My favorite story was that
of the 1939 Delahaye that
sat in a barn in Fresno for
kids to play in for years.
I am super grateful for
the team at the Mullin and
Kahn Media for inviting
me up, but the best part
was hanging with Peter
and hearing the story of
his favorite car, pictured
here. It was a teardrop
Talbot Lago that captured
his heart and set him on the
French car journey.
There are very few car
museums that really hyperfocus
their lots like the
Mullin Museum does with
French cars. And what is
on display is, it seems, a
small part of Peter’s collection.
We had an incredible
lunch and perused the collection
for several hours.
If you’re so inclined to
experience a wonderful

and historical account of
French automotive history,
then head to Oxnard’s
Mullin Museum for a rich
meander through design,
art and coachbuilt execution.
You’ll be glad you
did.
And this brings me to
my final thought.
Peter and Merle have
been known as generous
philanthropists for many
years. And as people do
different things with their
collections, the Mullins
have created a space that
educates, entertains and
sends the viewer through
a historical account that
would otherwise be lost.
A stunning display,
much like the Louvre, the
Mullin Automotive Museum
gives an incredible
presentation where one
can get lost in the moment.
This has become a
personal journey for them,
steeped in love, art and
passion. Peter’s desire to
share and give his connection
to the French sculpts
heightens the awareness of
visitors.
Again, I’m truly grateful
to them for their invitation
and eloquent service to the
automotive enthusiast.

show Fireball Malibu Vlog

the air about making the
drive, you won’t be for too
long. It was worth every

In recent weeks, we’ve
seen Malibu’s youth
portrayed in a passionate
and serious spotlight.
From the well-attended
gun control rally to the
national walkout and, on a
smaller scale, to the pair of
high-schoolers who spoke
at the Malibu Democratic
Club’s annual meeting
last month, there has been
an impressive representation
of the values and
beliefs held by so many
of today’s teenagers. It’s
been empowering to see
such strong representation,
and that commitment to a
brighter tomorrow has not
gone unnoticed.

or boiling water. Just spray
the leaves. The boiling
water will have to be done
quickly, before it cools off.
I would buy white vinegar
and pour the whole bottle
into a gallon of water in a
sprayer. Spray the leaves,
and it will die back but not
entirely kill the plant. You
can soak just that spot, and
it should also kill the bulb
below, but I would go one
step further and remove it
once you have killed it.
Many folks do not mind
But, at the same time,
one’s younger years offer
an opportunity to discover,
explore and expand upon
one’s talents. And there is
no doubt in my mind that
there is value in that, too.
As someone who has
made a career out of a skill
that’s always brought me
joy, I know that things
would have been different
if I hadn’t given myself
the time to explore writing
when I was younger.
And through the many
interviews I’ve done with
innovators and talents of
all kinds, I’ve so often
heard that their respective
passions were just always
an important part of their
lives.
A perfect embodiment
of that scenario is Malibu
native Sashee Chandran
(featured on Page 25),
who turned her passion
for quality tea into a
one-of-a-kind innovation.
The Surfside was
already prepared to feature
Chandran’s company, Tea
Drops, when we heard that
this wonderful plant. They
will grow in many places
that most plants will not.
Plus, they provide flowers
for bees and other insects.
If you do not need to
use the area in the future
— say you want a path
cleared of it, you can simply
cover it with something
that will last, and the plants
will not grow without sun.
I have used old rugs cut
into shape to fit the path,
and covered it with a layer
of mulch. You can also use
several layers of cardboard
covered with mulch. If you
want to use woodchips,
she was one of 30 Tory
Burch fellowship contestants,
but the fact that she
then earned the fellowship
only further solidifies how
special her product is. For
her, it started out so simply.
She loved loose leaf
tea, but she thought it took
too long to brew. So, she
created a solution. Starting
your own company takes
guts, but when there’s
passion behind it, it can be
really special.
To that end, this week’s
Life & Arts cover story
(Pages 22-23) on Malibu’s
Music and Art Youth
Group further represents
the types of opportunities
that can make all the difference
in one’s path and
passion. Having places to
gather, unwind and collaborate
is sacred.
And these young, talented
artists are making a difference
in their own right,
too, as they have plans to
hold benefit concerts in the
near future.
It seems that so many
aspects of our world are
you need to place a layer
that will stop their growth.
You can use landscape
screen. I have used a thick
layer of newspaper and
covered it with mulch or
woodchips.
I do not recommend using
woodchips with all the
fires around us these days,
so use a nice mulch like an
azalea/gardenia mix, which
will not burn.

“Don’t Panic Its Organic.”

in a state of uncertainty,
but what keeps the world
turning is taking the time
to embrace the things that
we enjoy.
That looks a little different
for everyone. It can
mean playing an instrument,
writing a poem,
painting, hitting the gym,
cooking, volunteering or
any other number of activities.
Having these outlets is
so important.
There are definitely those
among us who were born
to take a certain path, and
Malibu is fortunate enough
to have a rich host of opportunities
for its youth.
We all have dreams to
chase. We need politicians
and lawyers, but we also
need talent-fueled artists,
athletes and innovators
who make their piece of
the world special.

Student: ‘It’s a musical sanctuary here’
Musicians groove at
Malibu Music and
Art Youth Group
Barbara Burke
Freelance Reporter
On Monday afternoons
at Malibu United Methodist
Church, the guitar cases are
the only cases of the Mondays
you will find.
From 3-5:30 p.m., the
Malibu Music and Art
Youth Group, supervised
by Malibuite Devon Meyers,
a local musician and
photographer, meets in the
Mayhugh Education Center
Community Room next to
the Malibu United Methodist
Church parking lot.
The group started three
months ago and is open,
free of charge, to local
middle and high school
students who are interested
in the arts and who want a
place to jam, share knowledge,
collaborate and express
their creativity.
Attendees can bring and
play instruments, familiar
or new. The students can
compose, revise, improvise
and share music, collaborating
with one another and
feeling the synergy of each
others’ creative thought
processes.
Photography and art students
are welcome, too.
Some students sit and listen
to the music while they
compose literature and poetry
and then perhaps later
join in on the jam session.
“It’s the only place in
Malibu where teens can go
and play together and learn
how to get all their instruments
in order for performing,
as well as how to get all
the equipment set up so that

What: The Malibu Music and Art Youth Group,
supervised by Malibuite Devon Meyers, allows
middle and high school age youth a free, welcoming
space to collaborate and create. Photography, art
and music students are encouraged to join.

they can get ready to start
playing in front of adults,”
said Ed Marz, who teaches
the Malibu High School
Drumline and Percussion
Ensemble and has a studio
in the same building where
the youth group meets. “It’s
a safe environment right
next to the church and it’s
the perfect place for the students
to meet and create.”
When Malibu Surfside
News paid a visit on April
9, Nina Hungerland, a
MHS alumni and a basketball
coach at the school,
was jamming on guitar and,
later, on drums. She was
joined by Kayne Hunter,
14, on a Les Paul electric
guitar, Johnny Tarbox, 14,
on drums, William Thonson,
14, who played guitar,
and Charlie Evans, 14, who
played piano.
“I love this group because
there is no other
place to jam and to meet
new people that also like
to jam,” Thonson said. “It’s
a musical sanctuary here.
We play every genre from
metal to blues to pop, and
we write our own music.”
Meyers is excited and

impressed by the group.
“I was really surprised by
the talent that just walked
in the door,” he said. “We
are doing shows in the
common area at the church
and the sound system there
is incredible.”
Trinity Rose Drummond,
who has already won an
international music competition,
was on vocals,
her sweet, clear, resonant
voice singing lovely lyrics.
Claire Anneet, a 17-yearold
vocalist and a junior at
MHS, stopped by for a visit
as well.
That’s one of the beautiful
things about this group:
Interested youth can drop
by and join in as they
please.
“These are jam sessions
just like we used to have
in the ’60s and ’70s back
when musicians got together
to jam at the old Trancas
Bar and Grill,” Marz said.
“The guys from Chicago
and Leon Russell would get
together and just create.
“That’s what it is all
about. Where else can Malibu
youth get together and
just learn from one another,
play and collaborate? We
cannot take the youth to
a bar to jam for instance.
This gives these students a
great opportunity.”
For some of the students,
the group has presented
them with their first opportunity
to collaborate with
other musicians.
“I love this group because
I’ve played drums
for a long time, but this is
the first time I could jam
with other people,” Tarbox
said. “Before, I had to play
solo. It’s great to jam with
a band. I’m in a band now
and that is awesome.”
That’s exactly what Meyers
was aiming for: creating
a space at that elusive intersection
where there is adult
supervision but also freedom
to experiment.
“I just wanted to create
a place where the teens
could disengage and jam
and not have the pressure
to have to perform in a big
group or always show up
at a particular time,” Meyers
said. “I work on helping
the students understand the
mechanics of setting up a
sound stage. We’ve had a
couple of concerts and have
40 or 50 students in the audience.
It’s awesome.”
Hunter, who was attending
the group for the first
time on April 9, was most
impressed by the flexibility
of the program and the collaboration
experience.
“This is a place where I
can come and meet up with
a group of musicians who
are super nice and we can
make music together,” he
said. “It’s a place where we
all love music. It’s great.”
Some in the group already
have big plans for
their musical and creative
futures. Anneet is to study
theater in New York this
summer, Thonson is planning
to attend a camp at
the Berklee School of Music
and Hungerland is soon
slated to play with the iconic
Charles Neville.
Thonson’s mom, Ali, said
the program is “invaluable.”
“The fact that this is a
weekly opportunity for the
students is phenomenal,”
she added.
Meyers emphasized that
the group is secular and
is not related to Malibu
United Methodist Church,
though the group is appreciative
that the church provides
the space and funds
the program.
The group is to play a
concert at Malibu Methodist
from 6:30-8:30 p.m. on
April 21, and plans are being
made for the group to
possibly join other Methodist
church groups at 3 p.m.
on May 19 in a multi-group
concert to benefit victims
of the Ventura fires.

MHS alumna blends passion, culture to create Tea Drops
Chandran, a proud
female entrepreneur,
earns Tory Burch
fellowship
Lauren Coughlin, Editor
Sashee Chandran’s passion was
always in her hands; it just took
time and patience.
In 2015, the 32-year-old Malibu
High School alumna founded
Tea Drops, a Los Angeles-based
company which works to simplify
the tea brewing process without
sacrificing the quality of flavor
delivered by loose leaf teas.
The organic, pressed tea drops
dissolve in hot water, delivering
full-bodied flavor without the
typical 3-7 minute wait time for
a tea to steep.
“I was really thinking ‘could
this be simplified in any way?’”
said Chandran, of loose leaf tea
brewing.
It took about a year-and-a-half
to get the formula right, Chandran
said, and she used her own
sophisticated palate to test each
flavor. Chandran said she grew
up in a very “tea-rich household”
because of her parents’ respective
cultures.
“Now that I’m able to trace
back my family background and
really see where I come from, it
really feels like things are orchestrated
and not accidental,” Chandran
said.
Her mom, Mae, immigrated to
the U.S. from China, and her dad,
Bala, came over from Sri Lanka,
where he grew up on a tea estate;
Chandran’s parents still live in
Malibu, while Chandran now resides
in Los Angeles.
Mae said she would always fix
Chrysanthemum tea for her children
whenever they were sick,
while Bala’s side served Englishstyle
tea, with milk and sugar, after
each meal.
When Chandran set out to innovate
the tea space, she decided
she wanted to do more than just
Malibu High School alumna
Sashee Chandran founded her
company, Tea Drops, in 2015.
Michael Bezman Photography
simplify the brewing process. She
also wanted to dispel the stigma
of tea as a high-brow beverage.
“Tea itself is kind of associated
with being snobbish,” Chandran
said. “ ... I really wanted to make
something more playful.”
Thus, the drops’ shapes are as
diverse as the blends, with a heartshaped
sweet peppermint tea drop,
a star-shaped cardamom spice tea,
and flower-shaped citrus ginger
and rose earl gray offerings. Tea
Drops’ products are USDA organic,
GMO free and gluten-free.
Recently, Tea Drops launched
a line called Tea Sprinkles, which
boasts mood-inspired tea powders,
like the Refresh tea, with
turmeric, pineapple and orange
peel.
Today, Tea Drops’ products are
sold in 1,500 stores, including
big names like Nordstrom and
Anthropologie. Chandran also recently
appeared on Home Shopping
Network. Locally, Tea Drops
can be found at Malibu Wines
(31740 Mulholland Highway).
A portion of the company’s
sales benefit LA-based Thirst
Project, which works to provide
clean, public water to alleviate
the global water crisis.
“That’s so key to why I do this
and why I continue to be excited
Tea Drops’ caffeine-free citrus ginger drop tea has notes of fruit, spice, honey and citrus.
Andrew Echeverria/Tea Drops
about our work,” Chandran said.
Mae said her daughter has always
been very generous, noting
that Chandran volunteered to
help the homeless when she was
young.
“She’s a very generous girl in
every way,” Mae said. “ ... I am
very proud of my children because
they are good, very decent
humanitarians. They have big
hearts.”
Looking forward, Chandran
said she expects that her company
will only continue to grow.
She said they have already posted
more than double year-over-year
growth through their website,
www.myteadrop.com.
“It’s definitely been beyond my
expectations, but also I just think
we’re going to keep on this journey
of making tea fun [and] approachable,”
said Chandran, who
majored in economics with a minor
in management at the University
of California, Irvine.
Recently, Chandran was one of
30 finalists for the Tory Burch fellows
program, and she found out
last week that she was one of 10
women to earn the honor.
“Being selected as a Tory
Burch Female Entrepreneur Fellow
is an incredible honor, especially
given its national reach,”
Chandran wrote in an email to the
Surfside after the announcement.
“With this fellowship, I earn a
$10,000 grant to further my business
education. I will fly to NYC
next month for a three-day workshop
and to pitch in front of Tory
Burch herself for the chance to
win a $100,000 business grant.
Unreal!”
Chandran is no stranger to the
pitching process.
Last year, Tea Drops was the
first-place winner of the Women
Founders Network’s Fast Pitch
competition, which earned the
company a $20,000 award.
Chandran is proud to be a woman-owned
business, a fact that the
brand’s packaging indicates, and
she engages in public speaking to
bring awareness to investment disparities
between male and femalerun
companies.
As a brand ambassador and as
a female, Chandran remains motivated
to succeed — just as she was
in bringing her product to fruition.
“You’re going to hear a lot of
no’s around your idea,” Chandran
said, when asked about her advice
for other entrepreneurs. “[There
will be] pushback and just obstacles
in bringing your idea to
market, and I advise that you just
not be discouraged by that.”
For Chandran, her persistence
and belief in her product has more
than paid off.
“The fact that I’m able to give
other people a living [through creating]
something that’s so dear to
my heart ... is beyond what I ever
could have imagined,” Chandran
said.

The Dish
Malibu restaurateur presents cookbook-inspired feast
Barbara Burke
Freelance Reporter
Malibu’s Geraldine Gilliland
graciously invited
Malibu Surfside News to try
selections from her newest
cookbook, “The Lula Cocina
Cookbook-My Favorite
Recipes from Mexico to
Malibu” at one of her restaurants,
Lula Cocina Mexicana,
in Santa Monica.
A renowned restaurateur
for years, Gilliland is known
for serving innovative, delicious
food at reasonable
prices in venues with an intriguing,
comfortable ambiance.
She and her team also
cater events at her ranch and
other properties in Malibu.
As one enters Lula, they
are struck by the museum
quality artwork from famous
Chicano artists, including
Carlos Almaraz, one of the
first artists who spearheaded
the Chicano art movement
in the 1970s, and whose
work was recently exhibited
at LACMA. Works by Frank
Romero, muralist Eloy Torres
and George Yepes also
add to the vibe. One feels
as if they are transported to
Guadalajara, although the
menu – and the feast – featured
dishes from every region
of Mexico.
This lavish meal included
many of the eclectic and
memorable epicurean specialties
from her cookbook.
The recipes, as well as the
dishes served in Lula, represent
genuine Mexican food,
using fresh, quality ingredients
and recipes.
An internationally recognized
chef with a degree
in classical French cuisine,
Gilliland has developed
and tweaked these recipes
over years of research and
through learning to cook
with the famous Mexican
chef Lula Bertran in Mexico
City. She also studied alongside
other celebrated titans
of the Mexican culinary
world like Patricia Quintana
and Carmen Ramirez Degollado,
among many others.
For starters, there were
libations, including selections
from an expansive collection
of the world’s finest
tequilas, including the Ocho
Anejo, a delicious sipping
tequila. Lula offers unique
sangrias and stocks 100 percent
blue agave tequilas and
mezcals, which they use to
make a variety of signature
margaritas that really hit the
spot.
We also tried a variety of
the wines from the simple,
but eclectic and rotating selection
they offer.
When dinner was served
on Lula’s spacious and colorful
patio, one truly felt as
if they had been transported
to an authentic eatery in
one of the magical cities of
the Yucatan. Vibrant tiles
and colorful motifs blended
perfectly with the exciting
aromas of fresh ingredients,
hinting at the delights of the
meal ahead.
For an appetizer, there
was jicama, flavored with
zesty herbs, roasted peanuts,
chile powder and lime — a
simple, healthy way to start
any Mexican meal.
Next, came tacos de cilantro,
with fresh guacamole
and fried cilantro. Made
in a traditional molcajete,
this dish was scrumptious,
unique and addicting. Ralphael
Lizarde has been the
bar manager at Lula for
more than 20 years, and the
establishment uses his secret
guacamole recipe which includes
roasted jalapeños.
Then, a vegan kale-arugula
salad with quinoa, red bell
Grilled filet mignonette, which was served with a salsa
de molcajete (not pictured), was among dishes prepared
for a recent feast at Malibu resident Geraldine Gilliland’s
Santa Monica restaurant, Lula Cocina Mexicana.

Malibu Library
Submitted by the City of
Malibu
The City of Malibu and
the County of Los Angeles
are currently evaluating
library services and community
needs to develop
a long-range plan for the
Malibu Library.
Residents are invited to
The Dish
From Page 26
This dish is served with
pickled red onions, and seasoned
with black peppercorns,
cumin, oregano and
red wine vinegar.
The selections kept coming,
including shrimp flatbread
with spinach and poblano
chili with pesto and
filet mignon with salsa de
molcajete.
Dinner conversation was
fantastic and fluid, of course.
A seasoned host, Gilliland
had assembled an eclectic
group of attendees. There
was a knowledgeable vintner
from Italia, as well as experienced
gourmands, sommeliers
and entrepreneurs.
Food photographer Viktor
Budnik, who has more
than 200 cookbooks to his
credits, including Gilliland’s
cookbook, shared stories
and observations about
the aesthetic quality of the
food’s presentation. Welltraveled,
well-versed and
intriguing, the company was
as good as the food. All the
while, Gilliland graciously
share their views through a
brief online survey, which
takes about five minutes to
complete. It is available online
through April 20. The
survey is part of the 2018
Malibu Library Needs Assessment.
In 2005, the City and
County of Los Angeles Public
Library conducted a Malibu
Library Needs Assessment
to determine the library
service goals and enable the
county library to provide services
more closely tailored
to the community’s needs.
A new Needs Assessment
is being prepared in 2018
to update the community’s
goals for the Malibu Library
in order to determine future
enhancements that will meet
those goals.
The survey asks why
people use the library, what
kinds of resources and activities
they use, or feel are
most important, what they
would like to see more of,
how often they visit, and
what they feel would improve
the library.
Take the survey at www.
surveymonkey.com/r/
MalibuLibrary.
continued to ask, “Do you
like the food? Can we get
you anything else?”
Dessert brought Lula’s
churros, rolled in cinnamon
sugar and served with Cajeta,
whipped cream and vanilla
bean ice cream.
The vanilla flan that came
next was equally scrumptious.
The caramel is made
from scratch and served with
whipped cream, berries and
garnished with fresh mint.
Not all the items Gilliland
shared in the cookbook
tasting are available at the
restaurant on a regular basis,
though some pop up as
specials. Luckily, Lula has
many dishes that offer a
comprehensive representation
of Mexican cuisine.
Outside of the restaurant,
Gilliland is a generous and
active resident of Malibu
who graciously shares her
Rancho Chiquita property
in Malibu to host fundraising
events, generally to
benefit animal rights, including
her own nonprofit,
Chiquita’s Friends.
The genesis of Gilliland’s
charity work was when her
guesthouse became a casualty
of a tragic 2007 canyon
fire. Instead of resting on her
laurels, Gilliland quickly
turned that disaster into a
force for good when she
helped the community save
imperiled animals.
She hasn’t stopped helping
animals since. Since
then, she has grown this alliance
into a local powerhouse
with a national reach that
helps raise money to combat
animal cruelty and find
homes for dogs in risk of
being needlessly euthanized,
especially older ones, and
beagles that had suffered the
ravages of the animal testing
industry.
Escaping the troubles of
mid-1970s Belfast, Gilliland
came to California with
nothing but the clothes on
her back.
Today, she is an established,
successful businesswoman
who has been going
strong for over 30 years with
no signs of slowing down.

Cocina Cookbook,” visit
ChiquitasFriends.org. Copies
are also available at Lula.
All proceeds benefit Chiquita’s
Friends.

Malibu track and field team hits its stride
New coach lauds
well-rounded
team’s talent
Ryan Flynn
Freelance Reporter
Malibu track and field
had its first big test of the
season: a league meet
against Foothill Tech.
Despite windy conditions
on Thursday, April 12, the
Sharks came to compete.
The final results were not
available as of press time.
It is coach Mike Halualani’s
first year at the helm,
after three years as an assistant.
The team has high
hopes and talent to spare at
several different positions.
The bellwether is Claudia
Lane, the junior who has
a state championship and
two cross country national
championships under her
belt. Lane said last year that
she runs six days a week.
This kind of dedication, and
sense of fun in the sport, is
what Halualani is looking
for in his athletes.
“She’s one of the easier
athletes to coach,” he said.
“Very coachable, very nice,
great personality and she
works really hard.”
The team is 35 strong,
split almost evenly between
girls and boys. Track and
field is an individual sport
folded into a team concept,
so as the season wears on
Halualani wants to prepare
his top athletes for the California
Interscholastic Federation
postseason as best
he can while making sure
the entire team continues to
enjoy themselves.
“Really what my goals are
is to get our top athletes to
qualify to move on to the CIF
Malibu High School athlete Jude Iredale competes in the
shot put.
championships and to coach
them well enough to move
on,” he said. “And then for
the new kids to get them to
really enjoy themselves and
continue running track and
field and maybe bring some
of their friends next year.”
The CIF takes the Top 3
finishers in the Tri-Valley
League for each event — be
it the 100-yard dash, pole
vaulting or shot put — and
invites them to the CIF prelims,
so long as those finishers
hit a certain threshold for
excellence. Malibu usually
sends about a dozen athletes
to the CIFs, Halualani said,
and it looks like that will be
the case again this year.
Halualani said that Liz
Boland, a senior, has really
stood out so far in the 100
and 200-yard dash.
“She’s probably the girl to
beat this year in the league,”
he said.
The new coach lauded
the talent up and down the
roster, such as “outstanding”
pole vaulters Luca Damian
and Cooper DeNicola,
300 hurdle athlete Collette
Aldridge — who he said
has a real chance to win
league this year — and Sorin
Moore, who competes in
shot put and discus.
The first league meet was
a success, according to the
coach, despite the conditions.
Wind, whether it is
at an athlete’s back or face,
makes it difficult to run. The
field events are impacted
as well, given that it effects
the athlete’s choreographed
steps and timing, which can
negatively effect accuracy.
Malibu was able to brave
the elements, however, and
the outlook for the rest of
the season looks sunny.
“For me, the best sign is
they’re still having fun even
as the season drags on, that
they’re still having fun and
still working hard,” Halualani
said.

Alumni Spotlight
Malibu swimmer slashes records at UC Santa Barbara
Ryan Flynn
Freelance Reporter
Breaking records is
nothing new for Logan
Hotchkiss.
While at Malibu High
School, the swim star
etched his name up and
down the record books.
Now, Hotchkiss is a junior
at UC Santa Barbara and
history is repeating itself.
This season, four school
records have fallen at his
hands. In December, he
broke the school record
for the 200-yard freestyle
(1 minute, 34.93 seconds)
and the 500-yard freestyle
(4:15.09) during a meet
to qualify for the NCAA
championships. Hotchkiss
prepared knowing it would
be a fast pool that day, he
said.
Then, on March 24, at
the NCAA Championships
in Minneapolis, Hotchkiss
took down two more
records. In the final swim
of the meet, the Malibu native’s
time of 9:01.87 in the
1,000 yard freestyle broke
an 18-year-old UCSB record
that was held by Carl
Larsen, according to the
school’s website. Hotchkiss
also broke the school
record — which he already
held — in the 1,650 freestyle
that day.
“It’s a lot of pride, but
there’s still a lot more that
I can do,” Hotchkiss said.
“There’s still a lot of people
out there who are faster
than me and that’s what’s
driving me to continue.”
Hotchkiss’ story begins
like many others in Malibu:
in the water.
“I grew up near the
beach, so my dad always
had me doing water activities,”
Hotchkiss said.
Malibu native Logan Hotchkiss has nabbed four records this year at University of California, Santa Barbara, where he is currently a junior.
Photo Submitted
Hotchkiss had private
swim lessons when he was
little, then joined the junior
lifeguards and did some
club swimming around the
fifth grade. That’s when he
truly got the bug and became
addicted to the sport.
Hotchkiss was on the
Malibu Seawolves starting
at age 12, when the team
was still Westside Aquatics.
His father, Steve, is the
assistant coach of the Seawolves.
When asked about his
swimming idols, Hotchkiss
didn’t mention Michael
Phelps or Ryan
Lochte. His idols were his
coaches, like Max Jaben,
head coach of the Seawolves.
He also mentioned
Malibu native and competitive
swimmer Jordan Wilimovsky
and world champion
Mike Alexandrov.
Hotchkiss made a leap
in the ninth grade, he said
— a trend that continued
in college. Though the records
came this year, he
said it wasn’t so much that
he took a leap from sophomore
to junior year. Sophomore
year was the big
one. He’d gotten used to
being on campus, fending
for himself and not having
parents around.
“Sophomore year I had a
little more of a hang on it,”
he said.
Breaking records is
a family trait. His little
brother Kennan, a senior
at Malibu High School, is
“on the hunt” for Logan’s
MHS records. If he’s anything
like his older brother,
he’ll have his name up on
the wall in no time.
“I tell him to leave me
one,” Hotchkiss said. “But, I
don’t know if he’ll do that.”

Pepperdine Athletics
Men’s tennis, women’s swim and dive see coaching changes
As the search for a new
women’s swimming and
diving coach has come to
an end, the search for a new
men’s tennis coach has just
begun.
On April 5, the university
announced that men’s tennis
coach Marcelo Ferreira’s
contract will not be renewed
for the 2018-19 season.
“I want to express my
sincere thanks to Marcelo
for his dedication and commitment
to our men’s tennis
program over the past five
years and wish him well
in his future endeavors,”
stated Director of Athletics
Steve Potts.
Assistant coach Ben
Mullis is to act as interim
head coach for the remainder
of the team’s 2018 campaign.
On April 9, Pepperdine
announced that Notre Dame
assistant swimming coach
Joe Spahn was named as
the new head coach at Pepperdine,
replacing 18-year
coach Nick Rodionoff,
whose departure was announced
late last month.
During Spahn’s threeyear
tenure at Notre Dame,
the Irish men’s and women’s
teams set 47 school
records, produced 11 All-
Americans and qualified
42 men and women to the
NCAA Championships.
Spahn helped the Notre
Dame women to a fifthplace
finish at the 2018
ACC Championships and
41st at the NCAA Championships
and the men’s
team to a fourth-place finish
at the 2018 ACC Championships
and 23rd at the
NCAA Championships.
Prior to Notre Dame,
Spahn was the assistant
men’s and women’s swimming
coach and women’s recruiting
coordinator at University
of Hawai’i at Manoa
from 2013-15. He was the
lead coach for middle distance
swimmers and the
travel coordinator. In 2015,
he helped the women’s team
win its second Mountain
Pacific Sports Federation
conference title, breaking
a 9-year streak. Both the
men and women finished in
the Top 5 in the conference
throughout his tenure.
Spahn also worked a year
at UNLV as the assistant
coach and recruiting coordinator,
where he helped
the men’s team win the
conference title in 2013.
Spahn is a 2009 grad of
Minnesota State University
Mankato and was a distance
swimmer for the Mavericks,
where he earned allconference
and academic
all-conference honors.
MEN’S VOLLEYBALL
Wieczorek named MPSF
Player of the Year
Redshirt-junior David
Wieczorek, an outside
hitter for the Pepperdine
men’s volleyball team,
garnered Mountain Pacific
Sports Federation Player of
the Year acclaim.
Five Waves earned a total
of seven MPSF awards this
season.
In addition to Wieczorek’s
top honor, he also earned an
All-MPSF first team nod.
Alex Harthaller and Max
Chamberlain tabbed second
team honors, and Robert
Mullahey and Michael Wexter
received honorable mention
awards. Mullahey also
earned a spot on the MPSF
All-Freshman Team.
This is the all-time record
seventh MPSF Men’s
Volleyball Player of the
Year award for Pepperdine,
and the first in nine years.
Wieczorek is one of just
two outside hitters listed in
the MPSF’s Top 15 in both
hitting percentage and kill
average, posting a .358 hitting
percentage while averaging
an MPSF second-best
3.94 kills/set. He is also the
only outside hitter ranked
in the MPSF’s Top 10 in
hitting percentage. Wieczorek
is on top of the conference
and No. 3 nationally
in aces/set (0.59), with
a high of 26 aces after 12
MSPF matches. He leads
the MPSF and is third in the
nation in points/set (4.96),
and is one of two outsides
to be ranked amongst the
Top 15 in blocking. He has
posted double-figure kills
17 times this season and 47
times in his career, while
leading the Waves in kills
this season on 15 separate
occasions.
Wieczorek earned an
MPSF-high four weekly
awards this year, each

Athlete of the Week
10 Questions
with Colter Barish
Colter Barish, 17, is a
junior who plays right field
for Malibu baseball.
What do you like about
the game of baseball?
I like that it’s as much
a mental sport as a physical
sport. Your attitude and
mindset basically determines
how you perform.
Who were your
favorite athletes
growing up?
[Major League Baseball
players] Matt Kemp and
Bryce Harper and [NFL
running back] Marshawn
Lynch.
What are your
personal goals this
season?
I would like to hit about
.400, and it would be cool
to hit a couple bombs.
How about team
goals?
I would like for us to get
back to CIF and advance
past the semifinals, where
we lost last season.
Do you have a favorite
song to listen to
pregame?
I like to listen to “Faneto”
by Chief Keef.
Where would you most
like to travel in the
world?
Probably like Brazil, because
it seems pretty wild
there.
What is your favorite
subject in school?
History. It’s cool to learn
about the events that led up
to today.
What is your favorite
moment from this
season so far?
When I hit a double
off the wall against Oaks
Suzy Demeter/22nd Century Media
Christian, because I have a
lot of friends who go there.
What’s the best advice
you’ve gotten?
“If you want it, you gotta
go get it.” - [recording artist]
MadeinTYO
What is it like playing
for coach Billy Ashley?
It’s really fun because he
has a lot of experience and
helps us become better ball
players.
