Malibu City Council 

Feldman’s salary increase approved 

Council votes 4-1 to 

pass City manager’s 

new contract 

Michele Willer-Allred 

Freelance Reporter 

The Malibu City Council 

voted to extend Malibu City 

Manager Reva Feldman’s 

contract with the City for 

another four years, immediately 

increasing her annual 

salary from $225,000 to 

$242,000. 

The council voted 4-1 

on May 29, with Mayor 

Pro Tem Jefferson Wagner 

dissenting, to amend Feldman’s 

contract, which will 

see her pay increase each 

year until her current contract 

expires. 

“The amendment provides 

for subsequent salary 

increases to $248,000 on 

May 3, 2019, $254,000 on 

May 3, 2020, and $260,000 

on May 3, 2021, each conditioned 

upon the City manager 

receiving a positive 

evaluation from the City 

Council,” states the staff report. 

Feldman’s contract is to 

be up for renewal again in 

May 2022. 

The salary increase, in 

addition to the benefits 

Feldman receives, will be 

accounted for in the City’s 

proposed budget for fiscal 

year 2018-19. 

City Attorney Christi Hogin 

said that the council recently 

met in closed session, 

and “conducted a candid 

and thorough performance 

evaluation of the Feldman, 

which the council found to 

be positive.” 

Feldman’s contract can 

be terminated at any time by 

Round it up 

A brief recap of action from the May 29 City Council 

meeting 

• The council unanimously approved the final reading of 

the City’s Dark Sky ordinance, which is intended to crack 

down on excessive residential and commercial lighting in 

the city. The ordinance, effective Oct. 15, 2018, requires 

most outdoor lighting fixtures to be shielded and directed 

downwards, regulates light trespass across property lines, 

has provisions restricting light pollution near sensitive 

resources, and sets some restrictions on string lights. 

• The council unanimously approved a request by 

Councilmember Skylar Peak for the City to proceed with 

a Local Coastal Program Amendment banning the use of 

pesticides, herbicides, rodenticides and insecticides in 

Malibu. The council also authorized Councilmember Laura 

Rosenthal to request that the League of California Cities 

Environmental Quality Policy Committee consider adding the 

ban of their uses as a priority issue throughout California. 

herself or the City. 

According to the Transparent 

California website, 

Feldman received $66,083 

in benefits in 2017. 

Councilmember Skylar 

Peak said he heard criticism 

from members of the public 

about the amount of money 

the City manager is paid, 

and asked Hogin if Feldman’s 

salary was comparable 

to surrounding cities. 

“In the end, the Malibu 

City manager would be a 

well-paid City manager, but 

not the highest paid and certainly 

relatively comparable 

in our watershed and coastal 

cities,” Hogin said. 

Feldman worked as Malibu’s 

assistant City manager 

since 2005 before she was 

appointed the City manager 

in April 2016. 

Peak said Feldman “has 

really lived up and exceeded 

[his] expectations” in her 

role as City manager. 

Councilmember Laura 

Rosenthal said Feldman 

serves on many boards, and 

she thinks Feldman does an 

“excellent job.” 

Wagner said he has spoke 

to Feldman directly about 

some of the concerns the 

community has regarding 

issues in the City. While he 

said that Feldman has done 

some good work, he said 

he had concerns about the 

efficiency of some of the 

City’s departments. He also 

said he had frustrations with 

employee contracts and renewal 

amounts. 

Mayor Rick Mullen said 

the City manager is a key 

position in the City. 

Mullen said he looked at 

what other cities pay their 

City managers, and, he said, 

if Malibu doesn’t want to 

pay Feldman enough to 

keep her around, other cities 

will. 

City hears budget update 

The City’s 2018-19 fiscal 

year begins July 1, and the 

council received an update 

on the most recent proposed 

budget, which included 

items discussed during a 

budget workshop in April. 

The proposed budget also 

reflects the $42.5 million 

land acquisition of three 

commercially zoned properties 

from the Malibu Bay 

Company that the council 

approved on April 23. 

The proposed budget includes 

$77.46 million in 

revenue and $91.07 million 

in expenses. The general 

fund budget totals $31.16 

million in revenues and 

$43.50 million in expenses. 

The projected general 

fund undesignated reserve 

at the end of the 2018-19 

fiscal year is $20 million. 

Assistant City Manager 

Lisa Soghor said the first 

draft of the proposed budget 

presented to council back in 

April reflected a reserve of 

$31 million, or 102 percent 

of the annual operating budget. 

The proposed budget 

now includes the use of $12 

million from the general 

fund undesignated reserve 

for land acquisition. 

“The projected reserve is 

now 66 percent of the annual 

operating budget and 

exceeds the City’s goal of 

maintaining a minimum of 

50 percent of the operating 

budget in reserves,” Soghor 

said. 

Other changes to the 

budget since April include 

the council’s request to increase 

minimum wage for 

part-time City staff to $15 

an hour, and an increase to 

the City’s grant program by 

$50,000. 

At Tuesday’s meeting, the 

council asked for another 

$9,500 in grants to go to 

various nonprofit organizations 

in the city. 

Soghor said the budget 

will be finalized by next 

month. The council will be 

asked to adopt the budget at 

its June 11 meeting.

Wagner is being 

investigated 

by the 

Los Angeles Wagner 

County District 

Attorney’s Office. 

Warrants were served 

Thursday, May 31, at three

public information officer 

for the DA’s Office. 

“Search warrants were 

served today at three locations,

the city, by the Los Angeles 

County District Attorney’s 

Bureau of Investigation,” 

Risling confirmed in

office declines further 

comment because of the 

ongoing investigation.” 

As of press time on 

Monday, June 4, the DA’s 

Office was not offering 

further comment on the 

searches. 

Calls made to Wagner 

and Mayor Rick Mullen 

were not returned. 

Wagner was appointed 

to his second term on 

the council in November 

2016, and he was sworn in 

as mayor pro tem in February 

of this year.

Paradise Cove unveils novel noodle straw 

Barbara Burke 


While the City of Malibu’s 

new June 1 ordinance 

gives teeth to the plastic 

straw ban, many in Malibu 

already had a heart for the 

impact plastic can have on 

their beloved surroundings. 

Such is the case for Bob 

Morris, owner of Paradise 

Cove Beach Cafe, located 

at 28128 Pacific Coast 

Highway. 

“I grew up on this ocean 

since I was a kid,” Morris 

said. “I’m an old surfer 

and the ocean is my 

home. What’s happening 

with plastic straws in the 

ocean is awful and I am 

so proud of Malibu for being 

a leader in paving the 

way to get rid of all plastic 

straws.” 

Morris, who spent his 

boyhood playing in Paradise 

Cove where he now 

runs his restaurant, got to 

thinking about what to do 

about providing a straw to 

customers. 

“I called my supplier, 

Sysco, and asked how 

many straws our restaurant 

purchased last year,” he 

said. “It was an astounding 

600,000! Then, I got 

to researching how big the 

problem is worldwide. In 

America, we throw away 

500 million straws a day 

and 183 million each year; 

it’s terrible.” 

So, Morris set out to determine 

what alternatives 

were available. 

“The paper straws aren’t 

much of a solution due to 

how they’re fabricated 

and the fact that many 

vendors making them 

coat them with wax,” he 

said. “Then, I toyed with 

the idea of straws from a 

cornstarch solution, but 

that is rife with troubles, 

as it doesn’t compost well 

either.” 

Harkening back to his 

father’s sage advice from 

long ago, “always take a 

negative and turn it into a 

positive,” he soon found 

the solution he’d been 

looking for: straws made 

of pasta. 

“It works excellently! 

It composts within days 

and it lasts for four hours 

before it starts to get limp. 

It’s the perfect solution,” 

he said. “With so much 

wrong with the world that 

the little guy really can’t 

do anything about, I’m so 

happy I came upon a solution 

that I can do something 

about.” 

Thinking he had solved 

the situation for just his 

venue, Morris has been 

shocked by the worldwide 

attention his idea has generated. 

“[Recently], a film crew 

flew in from Japan to 

take a look at my idea,” 

he said. 

Morris said he ordered a 

year’s worth of inventory 

from a pasta company in 

Italy. 

“The lady told me it was 

the biggest order they’d 

had in their 100 years of 

business,” Morris said. “I 

didn’t buy it in California 

because a lot of pasta made 

here has ingredients that 

don’t compost well. The 

ones we are using compose 

in just 10 days.” 

Further, Paradise Cove 

made changes to its utensils, 

opting for wooden 

versions. 

“We decided against 

bamboo because it lasts for 

a long time and it doesn’t 

compost,” he noted. 

Morris said he’ll have 

some paper straws that 

are gluten-free if asked, 

though he said he was told 

the pasta doesn’t release 

the gluten unless it is heated. 

“I’m just trying to do 

what I can in our little next 

of the woods to make a difference,” 

he said. 

His son, Tim Morris, a 

manager at Paradise Cove, 

aptly summed up the innovative 

concept. 

“Use pasta straws and 

avoid plastic ones,” he 

said. “That’s using your 

noodle.”

When the City of Malibu passed its plastic straw ban, 

which went into effect June 1, Paradise Cove restaurant

Malibu veterinarian, philanthropist honored by her alma mater 

Newell receives 

university’s first 

achievement award 


Last month, 

it all came full 

circle for Dr. 

Lisa Newell, a 

veterinarian at 

Malibu Coast 

Animal Hospital. 

Newell 

Newell was back at 

Ross University School 

of Veterinary Medicine in 

St. Kitts — the very place 

which made her future 

possible. Standing before 

a commencement crowd 

of hundreds of soon-tobe 

alumni of the school, 

Newell, a 1997 graduate, 

accepted the university’s 

first Distinguished 

Alumni Achievement 

Award. 

Newell, an Agoura Hills 

resident, said she was 

proud to be involved in the 

ceremony, and to receive 

the award. 

“Without Ross University 

[School of Veterinary 

Medicine], I wouldn’t be 

able to do anything I do 

and give back in the way 

that I can give back,” Newell 

said in a recent phone 

interview with the Surfside. 

Newell began volunteering 

at animal hospitals 

when she was 8, and 

she made up her mind on 

her career choice at just 

4 years old. Thirty years 

ago, after earning her associate’s 

degree at Ventura 

College, Newell began 

working as a technician 

in Malibu. When she was 

33, she looked to continue 

her studies, and she 

found the perfect fit in 

Ross. 

Outside of her dayto-day 

job, Newell is a 

steward of philanthropy, 

volunteering her time to 

organizations including 

the California Wildlife 

Center, the World Dog Alliance, 

K9 Connections 

and Malibu-based Bound 

Angels. 

She served on California’s 

Veterinary Medical 

Board from 2005-2009. 

She also owns six cats. 

Further, Newell created 

the Bake-A-Wish charity, 

through which she makes 

organic cupcakes for children 

with life-limiting illnesses. 

Children and animals are 

Newell’s two main passions, 

and for good reason: 

“They’re the voices who 

can’t really speak so I appreciate 

their innocence 

... and the unconditional 

love,” she explained. 

Giving back has long 

been ingrained in Newell. 

Her mother, Newell explained, 

created the nowshuttered 

Ventura Free 

Clinic in the ’70s to offer 

medical and legal services 

to those in need. 

“Nonprofit was always 

in my blood,” Newell said. 

“You should always give 

back something — whether 

it’s of your time, your 

money, whatever. That’s 

instilled in me.” 

While Newell said it 

felt “so good” to receive 

recognition for her hard 

work, she was also thrilled 

to find out that the person 

who nominated her was 

her husband, Christopher 

Budak. 

“He’s my Saint Christopher,” 

Newell said. 

“He’s kind of an amazing 

person to be able to 

live the life with a busy 

doctor.” 

Newell said she had left 

the university’s alumni 

magazine around their 

home, and her husband 

stumbled upon the call 

for nominations. A few 

weeks later, the university 

called Newell to let her 

know that she had won the 

honor. 

“I cried; I was just so 

proud,” Newell said, of the 

nomination. “Of course, 

the award was important 

to me, but that [my 

husband] felt so strongly 

and took the time to do 

that for me was pretty 

awesome.” 

RUSVM has grown by 

leaps and bounds since 

Newell’s time there, as she 

recalls her graduating class 

had just 22 members compared 

to roughly 400 graduates 

in 2018. The awards 

also marked a milestone 

for the university, as it was 

honoring its 35th year of 

operation. 

“The awardees represent 

leadership in the larger 

veterinary community and 

profession, and their success 

inspires our current 

students and the entire 

RUSVM alumni family,” 

states Dr. Sean Callanan, a 

dean at RUSVM, in a press 

release. 

For Newell, the admiration 

and respect is 

mutual. 

“I will always be indebted 

in my heart forever to 

Ross University,” she said. 

Malibu Library to receive internet upgrades this year 

County’s $5 million 

grant will back 

changes at all 87 

network libraries 

Submitted by LA County 

Library 

Public computers and 

Wi-Fi access are among 

the most used library resources 

in LA County, but 

internet connection has 

been slow with an average 

speed of 10 to 20 MB per 

second. 

But that’s going to 

change. LA County Library 

has been awarded 

approximately $5 million 

through the Federal Communications 

Commission’s 

E-Rate Program. 

The funding will be used to 

improve internet connectivity 

and network speed 

throughout LA County Library 

locations. 

The Federal Communications 

Commission 

implemented the Schools 

and Libraries Program 

(commonly referred to as 

E-Rate) in 1996. It provides 

funding to eligible 

schools and libraries for 

broadband and internet 

services. The funding will 

allow libraries to connect 

to the California Research 

and Education Network, a 

high-capacity network that 

serves the vast majority 

of research and education 

institutions in the state. 

CalREN is operated by the 

nonprofit Corporation for 

Education Network Initiatives 

in California, and 

will deliver faster, more 

reliable wireless access to 

library customers, helping 

to close the technology gap 

and remove barriers to access. 

LA County Library’s 

service area covers a vast 

socioeconomic landscape. 

In a county where rent 

control continues to drop 

while housing costs rise, 

many lower income communities 

cannot afford the 

added luxury of internet 

access in their homes. This 

digital divide has adverse 

effects — students lacking 

access to digital educational 

materials from home 

may fall behind in school, 

while residents lacking access 

to general information 

may struggle to improve 

their lives. 

“Because a large percentage 

of our customers 

come to the library for 

Wi-Fi and computer access, 

increasing the quality 

of our technology is 

essential to removing 

digital barriers and improving 

the library as the 

center for learning for our 

customers, one of our strategic 

priorities,” said LA 

County Library Director 

Skye Patrick. 

“Our current network 

quality is not at the level 

that our customers expect 

or deserve,” Patrick added. 

“This grant will allow us to 

upgrade our infrastructure 

to provide a high-speed internet 

connection, enabling 

our customers to learn and 

explore at a much faster 

pace, while hopefully also 

attracting more foot traffic 

to the library.” 

LA County Library 

has experienced an overwhelming 

increase in online 

resource usage within 

the last year. In addition 

to facilitating over 1.72 

million Wi-Fi sessions 

and 1.8 million public 

computer sessions, there 

was a 19-percent increase 

in OverDrive eBook and 

audiobook circulation, a 

12-percent increase in digital 

magazine circulation, 

a 63-percent increase in 

Hoopla music and movie 

streaming, and an 85-percent 

increase in Lynda. 

com usage. The library expects 

these upward trends 

to continue. 

In an attempt to meet 

customer needs, LA County 

Library has already 

increased the number of 

computers at many locations 

throughout the past 

year, and worked toward 

simplifying the Wi-Fi login 

process. However, due 

to slow network connectivity, 

customers prefer to 

use other Wi-Fi hotspots 

to get better network service. 

The library plans to 

offer speeds of up to 1 GB 

per second with the E-Rate 

funding. 

The network installation 

project is phased for 

implementation in 2018.

Association of Realtors 

Each year, parent volunteers 

produce Grad 

Night to give Malibu High 

students an epic party 

before they embark on 

the next journey of their 

lives. 

Students are not permitted 

to drive to the event. 

They will take a bus to 

Magic Mountain for an 

all-night party after the 

gates are closed, keeping 

it safe and sober. On the 

way home they’ll stop for 

breakfast at 4 a.m., and 

parents will pick them up 

afterward so everyone gets 

home safely. 

“We care about our students 

and want to help 

provide a safe celebration 

for the graduates and 

show them how important 

they are to the community,” 

said Stephen

A home away from home 

MHS alumna 

shares glimpse of 

newfound work, life 

in New Zealand 


Nina Green is 19 hours 

and 6,494 miles removed 

from her native Malibu, but 

she feels right at home. 

A little more than three 

months ago, the 23-yearold 

MHS alumna moved to 

Auckland, New Zealand, 

taking a job with Storicom, 

a public relations and marketing 

firm. The Surfside recently 

caught up with Green 

via email about life in New 

Zealand. 

In many ways, she said, 

New Zealand’s culture is a 

whole lot like that of Southern 

California. 

“Most people here are 

very laid back and friendly,” 

she wrote. “Everyone walks 

around in shorts and flip 

flops like in Malibu. Kiwis 

and Southern Californians 

are very similar.” 

Green was initially introduced 

to the New Zealand 

lifestyle in her study abroad 

program through the University 

of San Diego. In the 

spring of 2016, she found 

herself studying at University 

of Otago, in New Zealand’s 

South Island. 

“I loved everything about 

the country and knew I 

needed to find a way to 

get back and live there on 

a more permanent basis or 

even just for a larger amount 

of time than four months,” 

she shared. 

Upon receipt of her 

bachelor’s degree in communication 

studies in May 

2017, she began to plot her 

course. But, she took a long, 

winding and wonderful road 

back. 

Words of wisdom 

Nina Green, a member of Malibu High’s Class of 2013, shares advice from New 

Zealand 

MSN: What would be your advice for any Malibu High School students or 

graduates who may be considering a big move like yours? 

NG: I’d have to say if you’re thinking of moving, absolutely do it! You don’t have 

to go as far as New Zealand to make a big move. I think it’s really important 

to experience living in a new city at least once because it gives you a new 

perspective. 

I’d also say for those that want to travel, it’s much easier than you think and 

amazing opportunities are everywhere if you look for them. For Americans 

specifically, there are so many opportunities teaching English, working in 

tourism, and taking advantage of our working holiday visa agreements with other 

countries. Also when you travel, you’ll always meet other travelers or people who 

will do their best to help you out so I wouldn’t be afraid to venture far from home. 

“After I graduated from 

USD I went to Europe to 

travel while I figured out 

how to move outside the 

US more permanently,” she 

said. “My main reason for 

going to Europe was a job 

offer I’d received to teach 

stand up paddleboarding 

and kayaking in the Dalmatia 

region of Croatia. 

“After Croatia I traveled 

and/or worked for a few 

more months in places like 

Italy, Greece, Switzerland 

and Spain. Some of these 

travels I did with my international 

friends, some by 

myself, and some with my 

boyfriend who is from Switzerland.” 

Over the course of five 

months, Green’s passport 

gained a good amount of 

ink as she passed through 

Sweden, Austria, Slovakia, 

Croatia, Hungary, Slovenia, 

Bosnia and Herzegovina, Italy, 

Switzerland, Spain and 

Greece. 

In November, she found 

herself back in Malibu, and 

she began to save money for 

her next big move. 

“After my boyfriend and 

I spent some time applying 

for visas and working 

with the system, they were 

approved by February and 

were able to officially move 

to Auckland by March 1, 

2018,” she states. 

At Storicom, Green has 

had the chance to refine her 

skills and love of storytelling, 

with a focus on local 

businesses. 

“My main responsibilities 

as account executive include 

interviewing subjects 

for different stories, writing 

and editing press releases, 

phoning journalists to find 

outlets for publishing, coordinating 

orders and materials 

necessary for events, and 

writing blog posts,” Green 

explains. 

When she’s not working, 

Green has largely spent 

the past three months outdoors, 

taking in the natural 

beauty that surrounds 

her. With a love of hiking, 

camping and spending 

time out on the water, New 

Zealand has been a great 

fit for Green. And, though 

she was familiar with New 

Zealand, this time around 

she’s on the North Island, 

which, at times, feels like 

an entirely different country 

from the South Island, 

she said. 

But, there is this one thing 

that New Zealand is lacking. 

“I really miss classic 

Southern California style 

burritos because it’s hard 

to find good Mexican food 

here,” Green shared. 

Still, burritos aside, Green 

Nina Green, a Malibu High School alumna, graduated 

from the University of San Diego in 2017 with a 

bachelor’s degree in communication studies. 

Photos Submitted 

looks forward to continuing 

to explore New Zealand and 

beyond in the years to come. 

“At some point I know 

I’ll come back to southern 

California to settle down to 

some degree but for the next 

few years at least, I want to 

keep traveling and working 

while I grow and change my 

career in different ways,” 

she said. 

After college, Nina Green found herself plotting her way back to New Zealand, where she studied abroad in 2016. 

Here, her photo of Roy’s Peak in New Zealand is shown.

Don’t Panic, It’s Organic 

Methods for controlling 

gophers in Malibu 

Andy Lopez 

Contributing Columnist 

Invisible Gardener 

I 

recently heard from 

Aya, a neighbor in 

Corral Canyon, who is 

having a tough time with 

rodents in the yard. 

“Your articles are the 

reason that I open Malibu 

Surfside News!” Aya wrote. 

“Thank you for your 

continued enthusiasm to 

educate us to lay, people, 

who aspire to become 

invisible gardeners in our 

spare time. 

“For the first time after a 

dozen years in Malibu (and 

new landscaping!), we are 

finding what seems to be 

gopher mounds and ground 

squirrel holes. Our neighbor’s 

Dewey guy kindly 

investigated these pockets 

of holes and mounds and 

offered monthly gopher 

deterrent granules plus pesticides 

sprays for bugs. We 

said that we’d have to think 

about the monthly service 

commitment because it 

was a bit pricey and I was 

concerned about if I can 

continue to eat my citrus 

and new figs growing in our 

yard. What’s your advice 

on getting these rodents out 

of our yard?” 

It’s a great question, especially 

in gopher/ground 

squirrel country! 

Many problems with 

using those deterrent granules 

depend on the ingredients. 

Different companies 

use different products. One 

is OK because it releases 

a natural gas. Some are 

bad because it is a poison 

which will kill other 

animals that eat the dead 

gopher or squirrel. 

I always like to talk 

about short-term solutions 

and long-term solutions. 

The long-term solution is 

to make a barrier around 

the property that will keep 

them away. There are many 

types of obstacles you can 

use depending on what 

area(s) you wish to protect. 

You really can never protect 

your whole property, so 

it’s best to decide what you 

want to protect. 

One of the barriers you 

can use is natural barriers. 

There are many plants that 

you can plant around the 

edge of the property which 

will kill the gophers that 

decide to eat it. 

One of these is paperwhite 

narcissus. You can 

buy them in the fall when 

most bulb companies have 

a sale. One customer paid 

around $1,000 for 10,000 

bulbs! They were delivered 

and planted around the 

lawn, around the borders 

of fruit trees, and around 

the boundaries of the garden. 

As they grow and get 

bigger, they become more 

effective. This will take a 

few years, but eventually, 

you will not have gophers. 

Another plant option is 

society garlic. This plant 

won’t kill them, but will 

upset their systems and 

some will get sick from it. 

I personally prefer not 

to kill these little folks and 

would instead show them 

that I don’t want them on 

my property. 

One of the easiest ways 

to let them know you are 

on to them is to use hair. 

Animal hair like dog hair is 

best, but human hair works 

just as well. Go to a barber 

shop and get a bag full of 

hair. Shove the hair down 

into the tunnels. Do this to 

every tunnel you see. Place 

a rock on top. This works 

best during the summer 

when it is the hottest since 

the heat will start to break 

down the hair and it will 

smell up their tunnels, 

causing them to flee. 

Another trick is using 

coffee. Yep, coffee beans. 

Buy the French vanilla 

since vanilla is a toxin to 

them. Pour a cup of beans 

into each tunnel and place 

a heavy rock on top. The 

gophers will try to remove 

the beans or hair first. Coffee 

beans work great for 

most animals which have 

an acute sense of smell, 

and that is most of them. 

This works on rabbits 

and deer as well. I would 

sprinkle the coffee beans 

around the edge of your 

property. Do this once a 

month for best results. 

You can build physical 

barriers like gopher netting, 

which is designed to be 

buried around the base of

Ride of the Week 

Cruisin’ coolness in a 1969 Jeepster Commando 

Fireball Tim Lawrence 

Contributing Columnist 

Malibu resident 

Sometimes, I really 

need to pinch myself. 

I mean, like hard. 

And I figure that if I do it 

just right, I might wake up 

from this dream of coolness. 

But alas, it seems that I 

just keep sleeping, driving, 

grinning and laughing. 

Case in point, this week 

I had the opportunity to 

wrangle a 1969 Jeepster 

Commando from The 

Murphy Auto Museum in 

Oxnard. A great museum, 

as you know, but a rare 

find as far as Jeeps go. 

Buttercup yellow, a V6, 

drives like an old truck 

on a farm and epitomizes 

coolness. The Commando 

originally was built by 

Kaiser to compete with the 

International. This 1969 

was the last year before 

AMC bought the company. 

The engine pumped out 

only about 75 horsepower 

and 114 foot-pounds of 

torque at 2,000 rpm. 

A higher-end 160 horsepower 

Dauntless V6 was 

and option, too. 

Only 57,350 Kaiser-spec 

“C101” Jeepster Commandos 

were sold between ’66 

and ’71. And here was one 

in front of the Fireball pad, 

beggin’ me to take it to a 

car show. 

But as it was a weekday, 

I settled for taking my 

wife, Kathie, for coffee at 

Caffe Luxxe, veggies at 

Ralph’s and a Malibu tour 

looking for other cool cars. 

(Spotted an old Porsche, 

and the driver gave me a 

thumb’s up.) 

Now, of course the Commando 

is pretty much not a 

safe car in any way shape

Malibu’s Fireball Tim Lawrence recently found himself cruisin’ in a 1969 Jeepster Commando. Fireball Tim 

Lawrence/22nd Century Media 

But c’mon, it’s a Jeepster 

Commando! Just the 

name makes you want to 

take it out and off-road it 

just about anywhere. 

I did manage to take my 

friends Eric and Celleste 

for a spin back up to the 

Murphy, stopping along 

the coast roughly 20 

times for shots of the car, 

dolphin playing and lattes. 

It’s just a seriously fun 

car. 

And this brings me to 

today’s point. The real 

reason that people are 

unhappy is that they spend 

too much time “out of joy” 

— thinking about the past, 

worrying about the future. 

When instead, they need 

to get in a 1969 Jeepster 

Commando and just hit the 

road. 

Many people in this 

town complain about PCH. 

Traffic, loud, snarled, 

people, whatever. But I 

prefer to call it the “Joy 

Highway” — a happy 

snake that curls its way 

up the coast and doesn’t 

charge you a dime. 

Remember when Rhoda 

May Rindge owned all 

this? And she wouldn’t let 

anyone in! But now, it’s 

free — beautiful and full of 

life. And I’m going to use 

it to the best of my ability, 

any chance I can get. 

Driving is a privilege. 

Remember that. It’s free to 

do, until the day you abuse 

it. Then, it’s gone. 

So, be respectful to each 

other. Smile, be courteous 

and enjoy the highway.

From the Editor 

Change can be hard (or not) 

Lauren Coughlin 


It’s that time of year. 

This week, many in 

Malibu will graduate 

— be it from elementary 

school, middle school or 

high school. And while it’s 

an exciting time, it can also 

be a time of uncertainty 

and fear. 

For those who are headed 

off to college, it’s going 

to be one of the bigger 

changes in your lifetime, 

and it will not always be 

easy. There will be tests 

of character, strength and 

limits. It’s in these moments 

that many of you 

will realize what means the 

most to you, and you will 

find your way. 

For many, your family 

and your lifelong friends 

will be miles and miles 

away. You will likely be 

forced to get outside of your 

lopez 

From Page 13 

trees and vegetable gardens. 

You can also make a gopher 

barrier around the whole 

property. This is a lot of 

work but will prove to be 

worth it in the long run. 

Another way is to 

have raised beds and to 

gopher-proof the bottoms 

with gopher wire. Also, 

you should always place 

comfort zone in your studies 

and in your social life. 

You may make some 

mistakes, too. But you will 

learn. 

And, before you know 

it, you will once be making 

your next big life change. 

Change is constant. As 

someone who is constantly 

reporting on it at every 

level and as someone who’s 

experienced plenty of 

changes in my own life, I 

know this to be true. But so 

often it’s in how you tackle 

that next big obstacle that 

you decide what’s next — 

sometimes for yourself, and 

sometimes for those who 

will come next. 

Take, for example, this 

year’s Malibu baseball 

team. While I don’t exactly 

consider myself a sports 

aficionado, I too have 

been rooting for the team 

week after week as they 

continued to climb toward 

making school history. 

Stat wise, the odds were 

stacked against them, but 

it didn’t matter. They may 

not have won it all, but they 

did reach the CIF finals for 

the first time — and that 

deserves recognition. 

Athletically, it’s safe to 

say the senior-heavy team 

gopher wire in any holes 

before planting. 

For squirrels, I would 

spray the coffee where you 

don’t want them to be. Use 

cold brew coffee to spray 

your plants and the area. 

Do that in combination 

with using the beans. Between 

the two, the squirrels 

will have a hard time 

sticking around. Another 

useful tool is garlic. If you 

like garlic, then you are 

in luck, as most animals 

don’t. You can either buy 

Garlic Barrier which is 

a concentrate (follow 

instructions!) or make your 

own garlic spray. 

As a last resort, there are 

more drastic measures such 

as a product called the Underground 

Exterminator. 

Any questions? Email me at 

andylopez@invisiblegardener. 

com. 

put in the time and the hard 

work. So, in that sense, I 

imagine that changing the 

status quo was indeed hard. 

But there’s also been 

something about the way 

the players have been carrying 

themselves in recent 

weeks. I’ve noticed it in 

their post-game quotes. 

Like, say, this post-quarterfinal 

quote from Alec 

Morrison: “If we continue 

to play this way, then it 

doesn’t matter who we 

play — it matters how we 

play.” And then there’s this 

quote from Tyler Ray on 

the team’s championship 

mentality: “We just have to 

treat it like any other game. 

Go out, play hard, and most 

importantly, have fun.” 

The team’s drive also 

was apparent in the scores 

in those first three CIF 

games — all of which were 

shutouts. 

Suddenly, the Sharks 

started to exude confidence 

and positivity, and they 

showed a great passion for 

reaching their shared goal. 

Now, they have an end 

result of which they can 

and should be incredibly 

proud. And, just like, that, 

they’ve changed the school 

record and set a new standard 

for the teams to come 

after them. 

I’ve been in a co-ed 

softball league, and I came 

away with knee scrapes and 

frustration, but that’s about 

as far as my baseball-like 

experience goes. I don’t 

know what it is like to step 

up to the plate or the mound 

in a championship game 

with hundreds of fans — of 

both your team and of your 

opponent’s team — staring 

at you. But, sometimes, 

under pressure, amazing 

things can happen. 

Change can be tough, 

and more times than not it 

will take time and effort. 

But, in the right hands and 

with the proper mentality, 

change can appear almost 

effortless.

The Dish 

Malibu’s Grom makes sweet summer days even sweeter 

Barbara Burke 


Malibu’s sunshine and 

surfing-filled summer days 

and their sweet-breezed 

nights are right around the 

corner, and there’s nothing 

like a high-quality gelato, 

sorbet or granita to satiate 

one’s sweet tooth. 

Malibu’s Grom, a gelateria, 

is the real deal. Grom 

serves luscious, flavorful 

scoops, often con panna 

(with whipped cream). 

“People come in just to 

get the whipped cream,” 

said Kenneth Cerritos, assistant 

manager. “It’s just 

that good.” 

A small whipped cream 

is $8; medium is $12.50 

and large is $23.50. 

Grom sources its ingredients 

from all over the world 

and uses a prototype organic 

farm, Mura Mura, in 

Costigliole d’Asti, a town 

in Piedmont, Italy, which 

cares for the fruit by hand. 

Farmers only pick fruit 

when it is perfectly ripe. 

The plethora of ladybugs 

at the farms help to tackle 

aphids and insects on the 

plants, thus avoiding harmful 

chemicals. 

“Grom is 100 percent 

natural,” a sign declares. 

“We use no added flavorings, 

colors, preservatives 

or chemical additives of 

any kind. We never have. 

We never will.” 

Try the stracciatella, 

made with sweet milk and 

scrumptious shavings of 

Colombian Teyuna chocolate 

chips (two scoops for 

$6.50). Creamy, luscious, 

sweet and full of chocolate 

chunks, this choice 

delights. Consider adding a 

biscotti (or two) on top for 

extra flavor (50 cents per 

biscotti). 

Another delicious option 

is to “marry” two flavors 

that go together well. 

One such example, which 

caught the Surfside’s fancy, 

was the combination 

of albicocca (apricot) and 

fragole (strawberry). 

“This sorbet was tropical 

and refreshing, especially 

for a summer day,” 

said customer Molly Mendelsohn. 

“I enjoyed the 

vibrancy of colors. Grom 

uses all natural ingredients 

and I know that it’s 

made of good things. That 

makes me feel good to 

eat it.” 

Try the pistachio gelato, 

made with Mawardi pistachios 

(two scoops for 

$6.50). 

“The pistachio is delicious 

and it is nice and 

green in color,” said 

Chandler Payne. “It’s 

nice and creamy and just 

a little salty. Its texture is 

creamy and it is velvety 

smooth.” 

Well-heeled travelers and 

gelato aficionados seek out 

Grom locations in the United 

States. 

“This gelato is as close 

to Italian as you can get 

in the states,” said Colin 

Wright, a visitor from London. 

“Grom is all over Europe. 

We seek it out and it 

well exceeds traditional ice 

cream.” 

One can’t lose by trying 

the granita: an ice slush 

dessert that is sweet and satiating 

(prices vary). 

Grom changes its flavors 

each month and only uses 

fine ingredients such as 

Pizzuta almonds from

If one needs a little kick 

to finish a busy day, Grom 

also offers Affogato: a 

scoop of gelato with a shot 

of espresso poured on top 

($5.75 for a single; $6.75 

for a double). 

Bene! Delizioso!

A relaxing Sunday morning with the kids 

Goats join in on 

yoga class at 

Saddlerock Ranch 

Barbara Burke 


On a cool, breezy Sunday 

morning, a group of 

yogis gathered at the picturesque 

Saddlerock Ranch 

in Malibu, toting yoga mats 

and water bottles, to participate 

in a unique version of 

partners yoga. 

In this case, the attendees’ 

partners were Nigerian 

dwarf goats, which frolicked 

amidst the attendees, 

often bleating, jumping and 

playing. 

Goat yoga coordinators 

Nicky Juels and Sabrina 

Saltzman ushered the six 

goats around, ensuring they 

were playful, but not disruptive, 

to the May 27 yoga 

session. 

Teacher Robyn Dennis 

went with the flow, often 

attracting the attention 

of Nibbles — one of the 

most personable, interactive 

goats. Nibbles had a 

penchant for nibbling on 

earrings and was very intrigued 

with sunglasses. 

Not to be outdone, Gary, 

a goat full of personality 

with a whimsical, playful, 

almost smiling expression, 

also nudged his way in to 

make his presence known. 

“Gary is the big man on 

campus,” Saltzman said, 

with Gary bleating right on 

cue in affirmation. 

In response, Nibbles 

showed off, standing on 

his hind legs and walking 

upright in what Saltzman 

said was his “human” act. 

Awarded by treats and 

happy as a lark, the goats

Malibu. Proceeds from the sessions, put on by Wild Women Project, benefit programs

wandered in the play yard 

and happily flirted with the 

guests. 

“Doing yoga with the 

goats is a great way to bond 

with the animals and to feel 

freedom while practicing 

yoga,” Dennis said. “The 

pygmy goats are playful 

and they like to cuddle and 

jump around.” 

Attendees giggled as 

the goats, which were all 

intensely curious about 

what the humans were doing, 

snuggled with yogis as 

they executed planks, down 

dogs, happy babies, reverse 

windmills, child’s pose and 

other yoga positions. 

“If there’s a goat on top 

of you, you can just adjust 

your position slightly to accommodate 

it,” Dennis explained. 

“There are many established 

benefits to animal 

therapy and animal-human 

interaction and this is just 

an extension of those concepts,” 

Saltzman said. 

“These sessions help these 

attendees a lot in their yoga 

practices, but the goats are 

also used in therapies for the 

traumatized clients of our 

nonprofit organization.” 

Attendees ended the experience 

by being treated 

to a wine tasting, featuring 

a flight of sauvignon blanc, 

Rose Grenache, chardonnay, 

cabernet and Zinfandel. 

Of course, the goats 

joined in, frolicking and 

playing. 

Goat yoga is offered at 

the Saddlerock Gardens 

as well as in Ventura. The 

next session at Saddlerock 

Gardens is scheduled for 

11 a.m. on July 15. For 

more details, or to buy a 

ticket, visit www.event 

brite.com/e/goat-yoga-andsaddlerock-wine-tastingtickets-44851158021. 

Attendees of last month’s 

Saddlerock yoga session 

enjoyed the experience. 

“It’s one of the best yoga 

experiences in LA,” attendee 

Umit Aslan said. “I love 

baby animals and these 

goats are amazing.” 

Lee Axelrod, a yoga instructor 

visiting from Manhattan, 

was most impressed 

with the session. 

“This was awesome and, 

because I love both animals 

and yoga, I found it to be 

fun and playful and stress 

reducing,” she said. “I love 

to continue to explore fun 

ways to develop and amplify 

aspects of my yoga 

practice and teaching.” 

The sessions also include 

a charitable aspect, as the 

event benefits efforts coordinated 

by the Wild Women 

Project to support at-risk 

middle and high school 

girls who have been victims 

of human trafficking, 

Class attendee Dede Drucker greets a goat with a kiss.

domestic abuse and violent 

abuse. 

Many of the project’s 

clients are not immediately 

ready to participate in 

equine therapy. Therefore, 

interacting with the goats 

is a good intermediate step, 

Saltzman said. 

“We provide a holistic 

approach to help the girls to 

overcome trauma and pave 

the way for their future,” 

the Wild Women Project’s 

brochure explains. “We 

provide therapy, tutoring, 

mentoring, horseback riding, 

vocational training and 

college prep services.” 

Wild Women Project’s 

recent session acted as a 

fundraiser for eight girls 

to attend summer camp, 

which will include horseback 

riding lessons, hikes, 

yoga, equine science learning, 

art and more.

Baseball 

Sharks snap Garey’s 20-game win streak in CIF semifinals 

Ryan Flynn 


Chance Irons gets some fist bumps after making it home. 

After the biggest upset of 

the season, Malibu baseball 

is going somewhere it’s 

never been in school history: 

the CIF championship 

game. 

The game was to be held 

at 1 p.m. Friday, June 1, 

at Cal State Fullerton (see 

Page 27 for coverage). 

“It feels amazing,” senior 

catcher and pitcher Tyler 

Ray said, of the win. “I’ve 

been waiting for this moment 

for four years and it’s 

such a great feeling knowing 

that this dream has 

come true. I’m so proud of 

my team and how far we’ve 

come this season.” 

After an inspiring run 

through the CIF playoffs, 

including three wins and no 

runs allowed, Malibu faced 

its toughest test. The Garey 

High School Vikings, winners 

of 20 straight and the 

No. 1 overall seed in the 

bracket, awaited on their 

home turf in Pomona. 

It was a team with a lot 

of accolades and precisely 

zero of those seemed to 

matter to Malibu, who 

came away with a with a 

6-4 victory to vault them to 

the championship round. 

Right from the start, 

Malibu brought the fight to 

the favored Vikings. In the 

top of the first inning, Senior 

Chance Irons worked 

a walk. Senior Jake Hughes 

followed with a single. The 

next batter popped out, allowing 

Irons to advance 

to third base. With two 

outs, junior Colter Barish 

singled, scoring Irons from 

third. Next up was Alec 

Morrison, who put the ball 

in play, allowing Hughes to 

score when the Garey infield 

committed a throwing 

error. Malibu ended the half 

inning up 2-0. 

Senior William Tamkin 

got the start at pitcher 

for Malibu, fresh off a 4-0 

shutout victory against 

Sunny Hills the previous 

Friday afternoon. Garey 

seemed up to the task early. 

The first batter Tamkin 

faced hit a deep shot to left 

field for a single, and a run 

scored on a grounder two 

batters later, snapping Malibu’s 

scoreless streak in the 

postseason. They were able 

to stop the bleeding there, 

however, and were up 2-1 

after one inning. 

In the second inning, 

Hughes hit an RBI single in 

the third to bat home Russell 

Kish and put Malibu 

up 3-1. This score would 

hold until the bottom of 

the fourth inning, when the 

Vikings had runners on second 

and third with one out. 

The next batter singled, 

scoring one, and forcing a 

tough throw home. Catcher 

Tyler Ray made the catch 

and the tag in a bang-bang 

play, and the Vikings runner 

who could have potentially 

tied the game was 

called out, to the chagrin of 

the home crowd. 

Tamkin’s pitching and 

the Sharks defense was solid 

all day. Malibu’s offense 

was opportunistic, scoring 

two more runs in top of the 

fifth inning on passed balls 

by the Garey pitchers. Up 

6-2, Malibu needed just 

nine more outs to secure a 

spot in the championship 

game. 

It was easier said than 

done. 

With two outs, Tamkin 

found himself with men on 

first and third in the bottom 

of the fifth. After a chat 

The Sharks celebrate after beating Garey 6-4 to advance to the CIF championship 

game. Photos by Suzy Demeter/22nd Century Media 

with coach Billy Ashley, 

Tamkin delivered, forcing 

the next batter to fly out so 

that Malibu could exit the 

inning unscathed. In the 

sixth, he looked unhittable, 

forcing a strikeout and two 

fly outs. 

Malibu nearly broke the 

game open in the next half 

inning, loading the bases. 

A pair of strikeouts left the 

runners stranded, however, 

and Malibu entered the final 

half inning hoping the 

four-run cushion would be 

enough. 

Right away, this half inning 

felt different. Garey’s 

desperation was palpable, 

and the crowd got loud. 

Ray came in to get the final 

three outs in relief of 

Tamkin. The first batter he 

faced hit a single off of his 

first pitch, igniting the audience. 

The next batter hit 

a screamer just barely fair 

down the right field line for 

an RBI double. With no one 

out, the lead was slipping 

away. 

Then Ray found his 

mojo. 

He got the next two batters 

out, forcing a pop out 

and a ground out, the latter 

of which advanced the runner 

to third base. The next 

batter hit a ground ball to 

Tamkin, now playing first 

base, but he was unable to 

pull it in, and the Vikings 

runner scored. It was 6-4 

now, two on and two out. 

Ray found himself behind 

2-1 in the count and let 

the next pitch fly. It was 

a grounder to Irons, who 

tossed it to Tamkin at first, 

sealing the Sharks’ victory. 

“Honestly, I knew all 

along that we would get it 

done,” Ray said. “After the 

first hit, I wasn’t too concerned. 

It was just a single. 

The crowd was going crazy, 

which actually got me 

hyped up because I knew 

I was about to shut them 

down. I trusted my defense 

and threw strikes and we 

finished the job.” 

Malibu’s final opponent 

will be Temple City, a Rio 

Hondo League school that 

went 17-10 in the regular 

season and is currently 

riding a six-game winning 

streak. They were ranked 

ninth of the 32 CIF playoff 

teams at the outset of the 

tournament. 

“We just have to treat it 

like any other game,” Ray 

said. “Go out, play hard, 

and most importantly, have 

fun.”

Malibu baseball runner-up in CIF title game 

Ryan Flynn 


The gut punch came 

in the fifth inning. After 

leading or holding a tie all 

game, the Sharks surrendered 

what would be the 

deciding go-ahead run. 

With only six outs left, it 

would have been easy for 

Malibu to pack it in and 

hang their heads. Senior 

Chance Irons took to the 

plate the next inning and 

worked a full count. He 

then began to foul off pitch 

after pitch. The at-bat lasted 

13 pitches total and ended 

in an out, but it showed 

the resilience that served 

this team well throughout 

its historic CIF run. 

It is the reason this team 

cannot be counted out in 

the years to come. 

Malibu lost 4-2 to Temple 

City in the CIF Division 

5 Championship game Saturday, 

June 2, in a contest 

that the Sharks controlled 

for four-and-a-half innings 

before a Rams comeback 

spelled doom. 

It was not the ending the 

Sharks would have wanted, 

but this was a special season. 

The championship 

game berth was the first in 

school history. 

“Both teams showed up,” 

Malibu coach Billy Ashley 

said. “We were prepared. 

This team was ready to play 

here today. This game was 

awesome to be a part of.” 

The title game was held 

at Goodwin Field at Cal 

State Fullerton. The matchup 

gave the Sharks and 

Rams the rare opportunity 

to play on a college field 

with a 3,500 seat capacity, 

unlike the high school 

baseball fields on which 

they have played all season. 

If there were jitters early, 

they went away quickly. 

“At the end of the day, 

it’s still baseball,” Irons 

said. “Once you get into the 

game, you forget about all 

the big hype.” 

Malibu lefty ace William 

Tamkin got the start 

at pitcher. He surrendered 

just three hits and one run 

in four innings of work. 

He was the starter in 

three of the four tournament 

wins Malibu had to 

get to the title game. 

“I think we all played really 

well, considering we 

haven’t been on a stage like 

this,” Tamkin said. “We 

just couldn’t get it done.” 

Tamkin also was the 

game’s first batter and led 

off the title game with a 

double. Malibu could not 

cash in, though, and the senior 

was left stranded. 

In the second inning, 

sophomore Alec Morrison 

hit a base hit ground ball 

through the gap in right. 

Center fielder Louie Thrall 

was next. He worked a full 

count and then hit the ball 

well to left. Morrison, who 

is easily one of the fastest 

players on the team, was 

able to score all the way 

from first and put his team 

up 1-0 early. 

It was a pitcher’s duel 

for the next few innings. 

Temple City pitcher Isaiah 

Isaac at one point had four 

consecutive strikeouts of 

Sharks batters, while Tamkin 

continued to fluster the 

Rams batters on the other 

end. 

The Rams tied things in 

the fourth. Two base hits 

put a runner on third, who 

scored on a sacrifice fly to 

deep left. 

Malibu answered in the 

Malibu’s Louie Thrall slides into home Saturday, June 

2, for the Sharks second run in the CIF Division 5 

Championship game. 

Photos by Suzy Demeter/22nd Century Media 

fifth inning in similar fashion, 

flying out to left with 

the bases loaded and allowing 

Thrall to tag and score 

from third. Malibu was up 

2-1. 

In the bottom of the fifth, 

Ashley pulled Tamkin and 

put in senior Tanner Gottlieb, 

who was the team’s 

No. 2 pitcher all year and 

pitched well in the round 

of 16 win over Rim of the 

World. 

On June 2, the Rams batters 

were able to get to Gottlieb. 

The No. 9 hitter started 

the inning with a single, 

bringing up the top of the 

order. A two-RBI single 

and another RBI on a base 

hit up the middle gave the 

Rams a 4-2 lead they would 

never relinquish. Ashley 

said that the decision to 

pull Tamkin came down to 

a pitch count. 

“We had to change,” he 

said. “We were at our pitch 

limit, so he had to come 

out.” 

The final six Sharks batters 

were unable to make 

any noise, and the 4-2 score 

stuck. 

Malibu will lose many of 

its key contributors, several 

of which — including Irons 

and Tamkin — are going 

on to play college ball. But, 

these last two years were 

full of accomplishments 

unlike any seen in Sharks 

baseball history. Until last 

year, this team had never 

been to the CIF semifinals. 

Playing in Division 6, the 

Sharks made it there last 

season, but could not get 

over the hump. 

Ashley said that failure 

stuck with them and inspired 

them to come back

stronger this year. Malibu 

moved up to Division 5 this 

season and faced tougher 

competition, yet still was 

able to advance further. 

Ashley attributed his 

team’s success to the competitive 

drive that sustained 

them all season. 

“It’s them wanting it,” 

Ashley said. “It’s them taking 

vengeance out on the 

baseball after a year and 

putting us in this situation.”

Athlete of the Week 

10 Questions 

with Karis Hughes 

Karis Hughes, 15, is a 

freshman who plays left 

field for Sharks softball 

and midfield for Sharks 

girls soccer. 

What do you enjoy 

most about the game 

of softball? 

I enjoy being on a team 

with my friends. I also 

love the different aspects 

of the game. I love cheering 

on my teammates while 

they’re at bat. 

In what area would 

you say you improved 

the most this last 

season? 

I improved a lot with my 

swing in batting. In the beginning 

I wasn’t really using 

my hips, as my coaches 

would say. By the end of 

the season my arms moved 

faster in my swing and I 

was also using my hips, 

giving me a harder and 

faster swing. 

Did playing soccer 

help you in any way 

when it came time for 

softball season? 

Playing soccer helped 

me because it showed me 

I was capable of improving 

something in a short 

amount of time. It also 

helped me with what to expect 

from the other teams 

we were going to be playing 

and [showed me that] I 

have to always try my best 

and to be focused in the 

games. 

What are your hobbies 

outside of softball and 

soccer? 

I love to hike, Rollerblade, 

spend time with 

friends and go to the 

beach. 

What’s the best advice 

you got this season? 

If you mess up on a play 

just forget about [it] and 

move on because if you 

don’t you’ll have a higher 

chance of messing up on 

the next play. My coach 

[Geoff Stern] told us that 

during a game one time. 

Where in the world 

would you most like to 

travel? 

There are so many good 

places I would love to travel 

to, but if I had to narrow 

it down to one, it would 

be Costa Rica because I 

have heard the rainforests 

are beautiful there. I have 

also heard the beaches are 

amazing. 

Do you have any 

gameday rituals or 

superstitions? 

I try not to think about 

what I could do wrong. I 

also listen to some upbeat

Who would you say 

has the best nickname 

on the team? 

[Sophomore pitcher] Rachel 

Oronoz. Her nickname 

is Seams because when we 

were in Little League she 

got hit on the face with a 

softball and seams marks 

showed up after. 

If you could have one 

superpower what 

would it be and why? 

I would want to be 

able to fly so I could get 

to places faster and in a 

cooler way than everyone 

else. 

Who were your role 

models growing up? 

[American softball player] 

Jessica Mendoza and 

[American soccer player] 

Alex Morgan. They are 

still my role models. They 

always try their best no 

matter what. They are so 

encouraging to their teammates 

as well.

Pepperdine Athletics 

Beach volleyball’s Sicoli earns national honor 

The American Volleyball 

Coaches Association 

announced last week that 

Marcio Sicoli was named 

the AVCA National Assistant 

Coach of the Year. 

It was the first time the 

AVCA honored an assistant 

coach with the award, and 

it was Sicoli’s first honor as 

an assistant for the Waves. 

Sicoli will be the head of 

the Pepperdine beach volleyball 

program following 

the completion of this season, 

replacing Pepperdine 

legend Nina Matthies, who 

is retiring. 

“This is a great honor for 

Marcio and recognizes his 

standing as one of the top 

collegiate coaches in beach 

volleyball,” said Steve 

Potts, director of athletics. 

“While already known as 

one of the top beach volleyball 

coaches in the world, 

we are so pleased that Marcio 

will follow Nina Matthies 

as the head coach of 

our program.” 

Sicoli finished his seventh 

season with the Waves 

in 2018 and has helped the 

team to a berth in every 

single national championship 

since the sport’s inception 

in 2012. Durign 

the past three seasons, he 

has helped lead the Waves 

to three-consecutive West 

Coast Conference Championship 

titles and appearances 

in the NCAA Tournament 

with a runner-up 

finish in 2017, a fourthplace 

finish in 2018 and a 

fifth-place finish in 2016. 

This season, the Waves 

posted a 25-5 overall record, 

including an untarnished 

8-0 record when 

playing at Zuma Beach and 

a 21-5 record against nationally 

ranked opponents. 

This season, team members 

Deahna Kraft and 

Corinne Quiggle earned 

AVCA All-American honorable 

mention for their 

successes at the No. 1 position. 

Three other pairs 

also garnered VolleyMob 

All-American acclaim, as 

Skylar Caputo and Alexis 

Filippone garnered first 

team honors from the No. 

4 position, and Madalyn 

Roh and Brook Bauer and 

Heidi Dyer and Gigi Hernandez 

were honored with 

second team status from the 

No. 2 and 3 positions, respectively. 

The Waves also 

took home all West Coast 

Conference top honors as 

Quiggle, Kraft and Bauer 

were named WCC Player, 

Defender and Freshman of 

the Year, respectively. 

MEN’S TENNIS 

Program welcomes new 

coach 

Adam Schaechterle has 

been hired as the head 

coach of the men’s tennis 

program. 

Schaechterle is currently 

the associate head coach 

at the University of Notre 

Dame. He also spent time 

at the helm of the University 

of North Florida and 

assisted at his alma mater 

Northwestern University. 

He will be the 16th head 

coach in the program’s history. 

Pepperdine has made 

38 NCAA Tournament appearances, 

including a 2006 

national championship and 

runner-up finishes in 1982 

and 1986. The Waves have 

also had two doubles pairs 

take home the NCAA doubles 

championship crown 

in 1984 and 1985. In singles, 

Robbie Weiss won an 

NCAA singles title in 1988, 

while the Waves have finished 

as runner-up on two 

other occasions. 

At Notre Dame between 

2013 and 2018, Schaechterle 

helped lead the team 

to its first NCAA Sweet 16 

appearance since 2007, its 

first two National Indoors 

appearances since 2008 

and the second-highest 

year-end ranking since 

1992. While there, the team 

posted an 82-63 overall 

record in five seasons, including 

a 21-10 record in 

2014 en route to the NCAA 

Sweet 16. This season, the 

team finished with a 19- 

14 record and reached the 

NCAA second round. 

He also coached the first 

singles player in Notre 

Dame history to reach the 

NCAA singles semifinals 

and the second doubles pair 

to reach the NCAA doubles 

semifinals since 1994. He 

also was selected as the 

United States Tennis Association 

Men’s Collegiate 

National Team Coach for 

the 2017-18 campaign. 

From 2011-2013, 

Schaechterle was the head 

coach for the University 

of North Florida. He led 

the squad to its first undefeated 

Atlantic Sun regular 

season, the first appearance 

in the Atlantic Sun Tournament 

final and to many 

team, singles and doubles 

year-end rankings. 

He was named Atlantic 

Sun Coach of the Year 

in 2013. The team went 

35-14 overall through two 

seasons, including a 19-6 

record and an ASUN championship 

match appearance 

in 2012.
