Police seek answers in possible assault of Malibu man 

Taylor reported 

missing, found at 

hospital with brain 

damage 

Lauren Coughlin, Editor 

Malibu resident Stafford 

Taylor is currently in 

an induced coma, undergoing 

treatment for head 

injuries and brain damage 

at UCLA Medical Center, 

after being reported missing 

in early July. 

Sgt. Matthew Dunn, 

of the Malibu/Lost 

Hills Sheriff’s Station, 

said Thursday, July 12, 

that police are pursuing 

possible leads in the 

case. 

“Our investigation currently 

is ongoing and I can 

tell you that the Malibu detectives 

are working hard 

to reconstruct the timeline,” 

Dunn told the Surfside. 

How to help 

• To provide a tip on 

this case, call Sgt. 

Matthew Dunn, of 

the Malibu/Lost Hills 

Sheriff’s Station, at 

(818) 878-5531. 

• To donate to Stafford 

Taylor’s medical fund, 

visit www.gofundme. 

com/staffords-recoveryfund. 

Dunn said Taylor, 64, 

was reported missing on 

July 5. 

Ali Thonson, a friend 

of Taylor’s, said Taylor 

attended a Fourth of July 

party at her Malibu home. 

He left the party on foot, 

walking on the ocean side 

of Pacific Coast Highway, 

Thonson said, but he reportedly 

never made it 

home. 

The next day, she said, 

he was found at the Malibu 

Community Labor Exchange, 

and he was transported 

to UCLA. 

On July 6, police determined 

that Taylor was at 

UCLA as a John Doe, as 

his cellphone and identification 

reportedly were 

not on him when he was 

admitted. 

“The detectives are 

concerned that Mr. Taylor 

may have been a victim 

of an assault based on 

his medical condition,” 

Dunn said. 

Dunn said police still 

have “a lot of people to 

talk to” but, citing the ongoing 

investigation, Dunn 

did not say if there were 

any direct witnesses. 

“We are concerned, so 

we’re doing the best we 

can for Mr. Taylor,” Dunn 

said. 

Anyone with information 

on the case is asked to 

contact Dunn at (818) 878- 

5531. 

More than 200 individuals 

have contributed to a 

GoFundMe page created 

to back Taylor’s medical 

expenses. 

“Currently, Stafford 

is in an induced coma to 

help his brain heal,” a post 

on the GoFundMe page 

states. “The current timeline 

is at least 2 weeks in 

the NeuroScience Trauma 

ICU, then 1-2 years of 24- 

hour rehabilitation. 

“Stafford is an artist and 

a self-employed master 

carpenter, and does not 

have medical insurance. 

Funds are needed for immediate 

and long-term 

medical needs.” 

As of July 16, the 

campaign had raised 

$15,880 out of the desired 

$125,000. 

“A beloved member 

of the Malibu community, 

a father, grandfather, 

and husband, Stafford is 

a beautiful soul who always 

helps anyone in 

need,” the page continues. 

“Now he needs our help 

to recover from this awful 

tragedy.”

Police investigate claim of shot 

fired near Malibu Creek State Park 


Malibu/Lost Hills Sheriff’s 

Station officials reportedly 

were unable to 

find any evidence of crime 

after a caller reported that 

they heard a shot fired near 

Malibu Creek State Park 

on Thursday, July 12. 

Sgt. J. Covarrubias said 

the call came in at 11:09 

p.m., and the alleged gunshot 

reportedly was heard 

in the area of Las Virgenes 

and Piuma roads. 

“Our team that was 

standing by, headed by 

our sergeant, went out and 

there was no evidence of 

crime,” Covarrubias said. 

“I think unfortunately, 

due to the recent events, 

everyone is up in arms,” 

he added, noting that the 

sound could have been a 

car backfire that was misinterpreted. 

Last month, Malibu/Lost 

Hills police confirmed that 

there have been seven reported 

shootings in the 

area. Those details came to 

light followed the June 22 

murder of camper Tristan 

Beaudette at Malibu Creek 

State Park. 

Citing the ongoing investigation 

into Beaudette’s 

death, officials 

would only release the 

dates of the prior shootings. 

The dates are as follows: 

June 18, 2018; July 

30, 2017; July 22, 2017; 

June 6, 2017; Jan. 7, 2017; 

Nov. 9, 2016; and Nov. 3, 

2016. 

Currently, the case remains 

unsolved, and the 

City of Malibu recently 

announced a $5,000 reward 

for the arrest of the 

murderer.

malibu planning commission 

Uhring questions prior project approval 

Discussion 

expected to 

continue Aug. 6 

michele willer-allred, 

Freelance Reporter 

Were Malibu planning 

commissioners purposely 

lied to when they initially 

approved a request to build 

a home that planning experts 

said only needed one 

exit instead of two in a 

basement? 

Planning Commission 

Vice Chairman Steve 

Uhring said he believes so, 

and questioned Assistant 

City Attorney Trevor Rusin 

on the item at the commission’s 

Monday, July 16 

meeting. 

“I’d be interested Trevor 

why you think that having 

people lie to us is a good 

idea,” said Uhring in regards 

to an email Rusin 

sent the commissioners earlier 

in the day. 

During comments, 

Uhring brought up a May 

21 meeting where the Commission 

voted 4-1, with 

John Mazza dissenting, to 

approve an application for 

the demolition of an existing 

single-family residence 

and construction of a new 

5,706-square-foot, twostory 

single-family resident 

and associated development 

at 28885 Cliffside Dr. 

The Christopher Cortazzo 

Trust, the applicant, 

wanted to also build as 

part of the project a detached 

1,280-square-foot, 

single-story building with 

a garage, guest house and 

a basement that would be 

used as a gym. 

The 1,233-square-foot 

basement would have a 

96-square-foot lightwell. 

Uhring said that during 

that meeting, he questioned 

multiple times about how 

many exits were supposed 

to be in the basement, and 

that the project representative 

said each time that only 

one exit was required. City 

staff also agreed that only 

one exit was required by 

building code. 

At a commission meeting 

on June 4, Uhring presented 

a City policy he found 

that states a basement room 

must have two exits. 

At that meeting, the commission 

subsequently voted 

3-2, with commissioners 

Jeffrey Jennings and Mikke 

Pierson dissenting, to bring 

the item back to determine 

if the project permit should 

be revocated. 

“My position at the time 

was these people are the experts, 

and if they’re not going 

to tell us the truth, we just 

need a different set of rules 

on how we’re going to play 

this or not,” Uhring said. 

Uhring said the commission 

got an email from the 

assistant City attorney “that 

basically ignored the fact 

that the three of us thought 

we were lied to and just 

blew that away.” 

“This is crazy. If we’re going 

to sit up here and get lied 

to ... if they can lie to us, why 

am I here?” Uhring said. “I 

go out and do the work I’m 

supposed to do and I expect 

to at least hear the truth.” 

“Rightfully so, and you 

should be presented with 

truthful testimony before 

the commission,” Rusin 

responded, adding that it 

was “inaccurate” that he 

thought lying was OK. 

Speaking during public 

comment, developer Norm 

Haynie said the project representative 

wouldn’t knowingly 

lie, and may have gotten 

the rules mixed up. 

Haynie said it was important 

to find out what 

the rule is exactly, and how 

big the basement actually 

needs to be before a second 

exit is required. 

Rusin said he understood 

that Uhring was interested 

in a revocation hearing, but 

that it wasn’t on the agenda 

that night. Rusin noted 

that the topic would be 

discussed in further detail 

at a Planning Commission 

meeting on Aug. 6. 

During a department 

update, Planning Director 

Bonnie Blue said the Aug. 

6 meeting will also include 

a discussion on the Planning 

Commission’s role 

with respect to the City 

Council 

At a previous meeting, 

planning commissioners 

expressed frustration over 

how their recommendations 

are seemingly being 

ignored by City staff when 

items are presented to the 

City Council. 

Planning commissioners 

said there should be a City 

policy that Planning Commission 

recommendations 

should go to the City Council, 

not staff’s interpretations 

of it. 

Blue said a Malibu Beach 

Inn project also is scheduled 

for the Planning Commission’s 

Aug. 20 meeting. 

She also said the Nobu 

property owners have been 

given a deadline to produce 

some information that will 

help bring the restaurant’s 

parking issue back before 

the Planning Commission 

in the next couple of weeks. 

Shedding light on the City’s Dark Sky ordinance 

City to offer 

educational 

outreach prior to 

implementation 

Submitted by the City of 

Malibu 

With Malibu’s Dark Sky 

Ordinance going into effect 

on Oct. 15, the City’s Planning 

Department is rolling 

out an awareness campaign 

to offer information and 

resources to help residents 

and businesses comply with 

the requirements. 

“I want my grandchildren 

to be able to experience the 

wonder and inspiration of 

seeing the star-filled night 

sky,” said Mayor Rick 

Mullen. “In Malibu we are 

blessed to live surrounded 

by nature, the mountains 

and the ocean, and our dark, 

starry skies are a big part of 

that. I am proud to be able to 

say we took steps to protect 

that heritage.” 

A widespread messaging 

campaign including newspaper 

advertisements, announcements 

on the City 

website and social media, 

direct mail, and email messages 

will help ensure that 

residents and businesses 

have enough time to make 

any changes necessary to 

meet the new requirements. 

The City’s project webpage 

at www.MalibuCity.org/ 

DarkSky offers examples of 

compliant lighting methods 

as well as relevant deadlines 

and other information. 

The requirements of the 

ordinance include: 

• Outdoor light fixtures 

must be fully shielded, directed 

downward and not 

exceeding 850 lumens 

• Fixtures must have a 

maximum Kelvin temperature 

of 3,000 K 

• Motion detectors, string 

lights and light trespass 

from property lines must 

meet requirements 

• Additional lighting requirements 

are based on 

zoning districts 

The City Council unanimously 

approved the ordinance 

in April in order 

to preserve Malibu’s rural 

character and quality of life, 

protect wildlife and habitats 

from light pollution, 

preserve enjoyment of the 

night-time sky, and promote 

the City’s goal of conserving 

energy and natural resources. 

The goal of the Dark 

Sky Ordinance is to reduce 

nighttime light pollution 

to preserve night skies by 

adding comprehensive 

citywide outdoor lighting 

standards to the Malibu 

zoning code. The ordinance, 

which has been five 

years in the making, will 

go into effect in October. 

Grace periods have been 

drafted into the ordinance 

to assist residents and 

business owners with the 

implementation process. 

Some provisions will take 

effect on Oct. 15. 

While developing the 

ordinance, the City held 

numerous community 

workshops and meetings, 

providing education about 

the impacts of light pollution 

on people and nature, 

model lighting ordinances 

that have been adopted in 

other cities, and light pollution-reducing 

lighting technologies. 

The ordinance aims to 

provide safe and effective 

levels of outdoor lighting, 

mainly by ensuring lighting 

is used when and where it 

is needed so that it does not 

indiscriminately cause light 

pollution. 

In 2013, the City Council 

enacted a citywide outdoor 

lighting ordinance 

that was created with assistance 

from the International 

Dark-Sky Association. 

The IDA is a United 

States-based nonprofit organization 

started in 1988 

by astronomers in an effort 

preserve the nighttime environment 

and reduce light 

pollution.

Keeping the past close to home 

Reflections of 

Malibu’s history live 

on in Pepperdine 

archive collections 

Suzanne Guldimann 


Ephemera, printed material 

like matchbooks and 

postcards designed for 

limited service have become 

a hot collectable in 

recent decades, but these 

items are more than that: 

They open a window into 

the past, offering researchers 

a fascinating perspective 

on the minutiae of everyday 

life. 

Melissa Nykanen, associate 

university librarian 

for special collections 

and university archives at 

Pepperdine University, describes 

it as a way to “expand 

history.” 

“Ephemera is increasingly 

important,” Nykanen 

explained at a July 10 

community presentation at 

the Malibu Library. 

Nykanen and Kelsey 

Knox, the archivist for 

the collection, brought a 

selection of Pepperdine’s 

ephemera to the talk entitled 

“Local History: Malibu 

Postcards, Menus and 

Matchbooks.” 

In addition to discussing 

the items, they encouraged 

event participants to join 

the conversation and take a 

closer look at the everyday 

objects that can hold so 

many clues about the past. 

Pepperdine University 

libraries’ holdings include 

rare books and a film and 

television archive, but they 

also include the Malibu Historical 

Archive, an umbrella 

title for a diverse assortment 

of smaller collections that 

range from local newspapers 

and archival photos, to 

real estate brochures, postcards, 

matchbooks, event 

tickets and programs, and 

even drink coasters and 

cocktail napkins. 

The objects Nykanen 

and Knox selected for 

the event included tickets 

from the 1984 Los Angeles 

Olympics water polo venue 

at Pepperdine; a phone 

directory from the 1950s; a 

matchbook from Top o’ the 

Sea, the first restaurant on 

the Malibu Pier; and one 

from Alice’s Restaurant, 

which occupied the turretlike 

gatehouse building 

from 1972-1995. 

Nykanen explained that 

ephemera can offer insight 

into aspects of everyday 

life that could be almost 

impossible to find in more 

traditional archival materials 

like newspapers. She 

pointed to how menus can 

reveal food trends and economic 

data — allowing 

researchers to track everything 

from when items 

like fresh coffee or apple 

pie become popular menu 

items, to the availability 

and price of oysters over 

time. 

The postcards presented 

at the talk offer a snapshot 

of architecture, cars and 

even clothing. 

Some also provide a 

glimpse of lost landmarks. 

One such postcard of Malibu 

Pier from the late 1940s 

shows the wall decorated 

with Malibu Potteries tiles 

that once extended from 

the Adamson House to the 

pier. Only the section immediately 

adjacent to the 

house and beach parking 

lot survives today. 

Another postcard of the 

pier, this time from the 

late 1950s, showed the 

sports fishing boat Lenbrooke, 

much to the delight 

of audience member 

Pete Haynes, who used to 

captain the boat as a young 

man. 

Haynes provided background 

information on another 

item of ephemera, a 

pair of tickets sold at the 

pier for bait. 

“Each anchovy was five 

cents,” he recalled. 

Postcards of the Las 

Flores Inn revealed its evolution 

from 1915, when it 

provided refreshments like 

ice cream to early motorists 

hoping for a glimpse 

of the famed Malibu Rancho, 

off limits to anyone 

without ranch business, to 

the mid-century modern 

Sea Lion — boasting the 

“longest oceanfront dining 

room in the world,” and a 

tank with the restaurant’s 

captive sea lion. 

“Her name was Josephine,” 

a member of the 

audience volunteered. 

The Sea Lion and Lenbrooke 

postcards weren’t 

the only items that generated 

discussion. Haynes 

and his childhood friend 

Jim McHenry used a 1950s 

Malibu phone directory to 

look up their old phone 

numbers — just four digits 

in those days, without 

a three-number prefix, or 

area code. 

McHenry, who grew 

up in western Malibu, described 

his neighborhood’s 

“party line,” a single phone 

line loop that served multiple 

families, and could

Malibu teenager claims new crown 

DeAngelis, 15, named 

Miss Junior Teen United 

States 

Kateri Wozny 


If the crown fits, wear it proudly, 

especially if it’s made out of 

Swarovski crystals. 

That’s exactly what Malibu 

resident Rachel DeAngelis did 

when she was crowned Miss Junior 

Teen United States on July 7 

in Orlando. DeAngelis, 15, was 

up against 49 other girls for the 

national title in her category. 

“I started crying and thanking 

God,” DeAngelis said. “I’ve been 

working at it so hard for the past 

three years and this title means so 

much to me.” 

DeAngelis participated in oneon-one 

round robin interviews 

with judges and costume, swimwear 

and evening gown competitions 

earlier in the week. To 

represent California, she chose to 

wear an eagle costume designed 

by Giselle Boone and won based 

on a judged point system. 

“The California Bald Eagle 

was chosen as a symbol for this 

great nation because of its physical 

power and magnificent looks,” 

DeAngelis wrote on her Instagram 

page. “This fierce beauty 

symbolizes the strength and freedom 

to the U.S. I was proud to 

wear this costume.” 

DeAngelis also won best in 

evening gown. The category is 

scored based on how graceful the 

contestant is on a stage, presentation 

and how confident the contestant 

is in a designer gown. She 

modeled a turquoise gown designed 

by DeAngelis herself and 

made by Kenneth Barlis, whom 

she will also be walking for in 

the fall during New York Fashion 

Week. 

During the finals, DeAngelis 

was placed in the Top 16, then the 

Top 10, Top 5 and the Top 2. It 

was down to her and Miss Junior 

Teen North Carolina. 

“My emotions were all over the 

place and I was beyond floored 

[when crowned],” DeAngelis 

said. “It was a wonderful experience 

and my first time being in 

Florida.” 

After DeAngelis was crowned 

Miss Junior Teen California 

United States in March, she told 

Surfside News that her ultimate 

pageant goal was to win a national 

title. She can now proudly say 

that she has. 

“I’m a goal setter and love to 

accomplish as much as I possibly 

can,” DeAngelis said. “I want to 

win as many different titles in the 

different age groups. Right now, I 

am enjoying and making the most 

of it.” 

DeAngelis also made close 

friends with the other contestants. 

She said they joked lovingly, 

along with pageant staff, by calling 

her “California Barbie” because 

of DeAngelis’ love of the 

color pink. The contestants also 

invited her to come to their states 

for charity events. 

“Almost every day I dressed 

in pink because it looks good on 

blonde,” DeAngelis said. “I also 

had black and pink luggage. 

“The contestants were kind 

enough to invite me to different 

community service events where 

they live. I’m so glad I made 

friends with them.” 

As a national title holder, 

DeAngelis is currently trying to 

secure a spot in the upcoming 

Disney parade and other parades 

across the nation. She also is passionate 

about promoting her personal 

platform: Healthy Heart, 

Healthy Life, through the American 

Heart Association. 

“The United States is the No. 1 

country for obesity and I would 

love to solve this issue,” DeAngelis 

said. “The importance of being 

a title holder is how we can 

help serve our country and be role 

models. I’m really excited to take 

on this next year.”

Zuma Beach 

lifeguards to be 

among 8 honorees 

at event next month 

Staff Report 

Four Malibu lifeguards 

and one former Malibu lifeguard 

are to be honored at 

the International Surf Festival’s 

Lifeguard Medal of 

Valor dinner on Aug. 1. 

Retired Lifeguard Capt. 

Dan Atkins, Ocean Lifeguard 

Specialist Tucker 

Hopkins, Rescue Boat 

Capt. Chris Lallone, Capt. 

Patrick O’Neill and Ocean 

Lifeguard Joe Rickabaugh 

will be among the eight 

LA County Fire Department 

ocean lifeguards who 

are to be honored for their 

achievements. 

Atkins, who became a 

lifeguard in 1973 and retired 

37 years later while 

working as a captain at 

Zuma, is to receive this 

year’s Lifetime Achievement 

Award. 

Atkins also served as 

president of the LA County 

Lifeguard Association, 

where “he was instrumental 

in the integration of the 

Lifeguard Operation into 

the LA County Fire Department 

in 1994 thereby solidifying 

the public safety 

mission of the lifeguards,” 

ISF said in its release. 

“LACoLA also was involved 

in the transfer of 

title of the state beaches to 

the county, thereby ensuring 

continuity of lifeguard 

service and beachgoer safety 

throughout LA County,” 

the release continues. 

Hopkins, Lallone and 

O’Neill aided in a June 24, 

2017 rescue of two swimmers 

who were caught in 

rip currents which pulled 

them 150-200 yards offshore 

of Zuma Beach. 

Hopkins, along with Ocean 

Lifeguard Joe Everett 

swam to the victims, one 

of whom was struggling to 

stay on the surface. 

“Upon contact with the 

second victim, Hopkins 

tried unsuccessfully to get 

him to follow directions 

and take the rescue can,” 

a release from ISF details. 

“At great peril to his 

own safety Hopkins bearhugged 

the delirious, incoherent 

and uncooperative 

swimmer and swam toward 

the rescue boat. Hopkins 

was able to get the swimmer 

onto the deck of Baywatch 

Malibu as a result of 

the skillful placement of the 

rescue boat by its captain.” 

That captain, Lallone, 

is to receive a Distinguished 

Service Award, as 

is O’Neill. 

The victim was revived 

and complained of chest 

pain. 

“The decision was made 

to transport the victim to 

shore, and a rescue water 

craft was dispatched 

to the boat,” the release 

details. “As a result of the 

teamwork, training and 

experience of the Lallone 

and O’Neill, the victim 

survived and made a fullrecovery.” 

Hopkins is to receive a 

Medal of Valor. 

“Hopkins’ ocean knowledge, 

physical fitness and 

quick, decisive action ensured 

the swimmer would 

make a full-recovery,” the 

release states. 

Rickabaugh, a current 

Zuma Beach lifeguard, was 

involved in a surfer’s rescue 

at nearby County Line 

Beach and also is to receive 

a Medal of Valor. Just a 

couple months ago, on May 

24, Rickabaugh, though offduty, 

aided an unconscious 

surfer at the Ventura beach. 

Rickabaugh, with the help 

of nearby surfers, hoisted 

the surfer onto a surfboard 

and helped him to shore. 

The victim, upon regaining 

consciousness, reportedly 

said he had no feeling or 

movement in his arms and 

legs. 

“Rickabaugh provided 

appropriate medical treatment 

until the arrival of 

paramedics,” the release 

details. “He also assisted in 

the extrication of the surfer 

off the beach to awaiting 

responders. Rickabaugh’s 

quick-response and outstanding 

ocean skills enabled 

him to return the 

victim to shore in the safest 

manner.” 

The remaining honorees 

are as follows: Capt. Brandon 

Chapman, of Venice 

Beach (Distinguished Service 

Medal); Ocean Lifeguard 

Specialist Greg Crum, 

of Manhattan Beach (Distinguished 

Service Medal); 

and Ocean Lifeguard Ignacio 

Pagliaro, of Manhattan 

Beach (Distinguished Service 

Medal). 

“We are delighted to recognize 

these individuals 

who demonstrated extraordinary 

acts of bravery,” said 

Rob McGowan, president 

of the ISF. “They rose to the 

challenge, and their heroic 

acts are the embodiment of 

going above and beyond the 

call of duty.”

Junior lifeguards

wildlife, more at 

Zuma Beach 

Suzy Demeter 


The junior lifeguards at 

Zuma Beach received a 

treasured gift on Friday, 

July 13. 

The gift was the “Pacific 

Coast Sea Shores” science 

guide, personally handed 

out by author and illustrator 

Dawn N. Ericson, along 

with lifeguard Shari Latta. 

“This is really our official 

announcing of this program,” 

Ericson said. “The 

purpose is to bring science 

into the Junior Lifeguard 

program and to expand 

the potential for other programs 

related to the ocean.” 

The program participants 

sat in a semicircle and perused 

the literature, studying 

the details. 

“Can you identify the 

swell shark’s egg case?” 

Latta asked. 

The egg case was among 

the shore birds, shells, and 

sea life depicted in the rich 

illustrations. 

The “Pacific Coast Sea 

Shores” guide includes definitions 

and explanations of 

the ecological zones, and 

facts pertaining to the sea 

and shore. 

Councilmember Skylar 

Peak also joined in celebration 

of the launch. 

“All the coastline, from 

Pt. Mugu to Latigo, is an 

area of special biological 

significance,” Peak said. 

He suggested that the junior 

lifeguards should share 

the special guide to remind 

people that what we put 

into our oceans matters, as 

it effects the very creatures

Councilmember Skylar Peak speaks to the junior guards about the significance of 

protecting the coastline. 

the guards were studying. 

“A part of being a lifeguard 

is knowing about the 

environment,” Latta said. 

“Just knowing what each 

relationship is from one 

animal to another is really 

important all around.” 

The discovery of a kelp 

crab among a bucket of kelp 

highlighted the value of the 

experience. It reminded the 

youth that respect, learning 

and understanding of the 

shore and marine life link 

junior lifeguards to their 

environment. 

“Pacific Coast Sea 

Shores” was made possible 

through the generosity of 

organizations including the 

City of Malibu, The Wishtoyo 

Foundation, Junior 

Lifeguards County of Los 

Angeles Fire Department, 

Cabrillo Marine Aquarium, 

Manta Publications and The 

Santa Monica Bay Audubon 

Society. All 4,200 LA 

County junior lifeguards in 

the program will receive the 

science guide. The guide 

also will be available for 

purchase at Zuma Jay’s surf 

shop, 22775 Pacific Coast 

Highway. 

Shari Latta gathers with the junior lifeguards as they 

show off their new copies of “Pacific Coast Sea Shores.”

Malibuites gain perspective on need in Nepal 

Malibu church 

hosts national 

director of Habitat 

for Humanity Nepal 

Barbara Burke 


Malibuites were metaphorically 

transported to 

faraway Nepal on July 8, as 

Christy Stickney visited St. 

Aidan’s Episcopal Church. 

Stickney, the national 

director of Habitat for Humanity 

Nepal, shared details 

and photos of the organization’s 

work over the 

past 20 years. 

“Three years after the 

devastating 2015 earthquakes, 

only about 20 percent 

of the affected homes 

have been rebuilt,” Stickney 

said. “The population 

is almost 30 million and 

approximately 6 million 

households were affected.” 

Further, incessant, perennial 

flooding plagues the 

Terai region, the lowlands 

located south of the Himalayas 

where the poorest of 

the poor reside. 

Stickney, the sister of 

St. Aidan’s Rev. Joyce 

Stickney, is an international 

development professional 

with experience 

designing, evaluating and 

documenting innovative, 

market-based development 

initiatives. Stickney has authored 

many publications 

relating to affordable housing 

and microfinance. In recent 

years, she has focused 

her research on base of the 

pyramid housing business 

models, which seek to assist 

the poorest in the country. 

Stickney is spearheading 

a comprehensive approach 

to helping Nepalese 

address deep-rooted 

and complicated problems. 

Microfinance solutions are 

Stickney’s specialty, and, in 

her view, local bank funding 

is the best way to fully 

address the challenges. 

Meanwhile, Nepal, a 

fledgling democracy that 

replaced the last of the 

Hindu monarchies only 

decades ago, has a primarily 

agrarian economy. It 

also has vastly variant terrain 

that includes eight of 

the 10 tallest mountains in 

the world as well as a hilly 

area consisting of less tall 

mountains and lowland areas. 

More than 23 percent 

of the population lives below 

the poverty line and a 

2011 census estimated that 

almost half of the residents 

lived in substandard housing. 

Further, Nepal is between 

China to the south, 

and India to the north, east 

and west, with Bangladesh 

and Bhutan nearby. Like 

its diverse landscape, the 

country’s population is a 

complicated mixture of 

ethnicities and of Hinduism 

and Buddhism traditions, 

and its challenges are 

affected by the fact it was 

never colonized, meaning it 

does not benefit from infrastructure. 

“We have a three-pronged 

strategic plan to help address 

the urgent housing 

crisis: We want to have a 

community impact, to have 

a sector impact that benefits 

the economy and a societal 

impact that helps to mobilize 

volunteers globally,” 

Stickney said. “First, Nepal 

generally must obtain most 

of its supplies from both India 

and China, and we aim 

to help the population develop 

techniques to lessen 

that dependency somewhat 

by supporting development 

Habitat for Humanity Nepal constructed bamboo houses 

to serve as temporary shelters for victims of the 2017 

floods. Habitat for Humanity Nepal 

of bamboo cultivation and 

technology.” 

Stickney noted that using 

resources in Nepal for construction 

is not only costeffective, 

but also helps to 

build the economy and to 

provide much-needed jobs. 

“In Nepal, many view 

bamboo as a poor material 

that is associated with poverty 

and is not to be used 

by citizens who are not of a 

lower caste,” she said. “We 

help the people find ways to 

treat the indigenous bamboo 

so that it is not affected 

by fungus and insects.” 

Instead of using the bamboo, 

many Nepalese who 

find the material sub-par 

burn bricks in kiln-like ovens, 

causing extreme pollution. 

“We try to encourage 

use of sun-baked bricks to 

avoid the pollution,” Stickney 

said. 

Cultural sensitivity is inherently 

central to the success 

of any philanthropic 

efforts. 

“Many who do use the 

bamboo mix it with cow 

dung, a material that is holy 

to the native people,” Stickney 

said. “Cow dung actually 

has excellent binding 

properties. We try to work 

with such local, indigenous 

materials, as well as to help 

people build their structures’ 

plinths (or the lower 

square slabs at the base of 

a column) at a heightened 

level to avoid sustaining 

damage from flood waters.” 

Attendees were rapt with 

attention. 

“What is the approximate 

cost to build a home?” Rev. 

Paul Elder asked. 

“It costs only between 

$2,000 and $3,000,” Stickney 

replied. “We can do a 

lot for a little and it is exciting 

when we go to a house 

dedication and realize what 

a difference we have made 

for a needy family.” 

“How long does it take to 

build a house?” another attendee 

asked. 

“These are simple homes 

and we can build one within 

six weeks to three months,” 

Stickney said. 

“Our second strategy is 

to provide targeted assistance 

to the most vulnerable 

groups that need direct 

housing solutions, primarily 

to those directly affected 

by recent disasters,” she 

said. “We partner with local 

nonprofit organizations that 

(Left to right) Christy Stickney, JoAnn McCrea and Rev. 

Paul Elder are pictured during Stickney’s July 8 visit to 

St. Aidan’s Episcopal Church. 

Barbara Burke/22nd Century Media 

undergo a rigorous selection 

process to help fund 

local, simple loans, often 

amounting to between $200 

and $500 to help citizens 

incrementally improve existing 

housing.” 

Finally, the organization 

hosts a leadership academy 

to train young volunteers 

in Nepal and encourages 

worldwide to travel to Nepal 

to help build homes. 

Teams also work to address 

sanitation challenges. 

“Communities affected 

by floods often have housing 

that has never had toilets 

and, initially, when we 

built toilets, many people 

used the outhouses as 

sheds,” Stickney said. “We 

focus on providing sanitation 

education as well as 

on tapping tube wells so 

that there is a well for approximately 

every four 

families. Traditionally, the 

women have had to trek 

many miles each day to obtain 

potable water; there is 

a direct correlation between 

water accessibility and improving 

the quality of life 

for women.” 

Attendees were both 

impressed and moved by 

Stickney’s presentation. 

“The speech was very informative 

and gave details 

about Habitat for Humanity’s 

efforts that I never 

knew before,” said attendee 

Premilla Arasasingham. 

“It was great to be made 

aware of the organization’s 

amazing work and to obtain 

a broader perspective about 

a place such as Nepal,” said 

Evan Anthony, who soon 

plans to leave and work for 

the Peace Corps in Senegal. 

“We forget about such places 

when they fall out of the 

news cycle.” 

Stickney encouraged all 

who are interested to contact 

her about volunteer 

opportunities, efforts that 

she emphasized mix a little 

pleasure with all the toil. 

“California has had 

teams come to join us on 

volunteer vacations and we 

build in some cultural activities 

for participants, including 

trekking,” Stickney 

said. “Many volunteers add 

on extra time to explore the 

amazing country.”

The ants are coming, 

the ants are coming! 

Never mind — they 

are here! 

There are many things 

the drought and heat bring, 

and ants are one of them. 

Take away their water 

source, and the ants will do 

whatever it takes to get the 

water they need. So, it is 

only natural that they come 

to our properties. Once they 

are there, they will also 

find sources of food, and 

that means going into our 

homes. Lately, I have gotten 

many emails and calls 

about this, so I will do a 

two-part column on ants. 

The first part is what to 

do to keep them out of your 

house. 

The main folks who 

contact me are wives who 

do not want to spray toxic 

chemicals. Their husbands, 

however, are fed up with 

the ants and just want them 

dead, so they grab whatever 

is available. 

First off, you should contact 

an organic pest control 

company that handles the 

outdoor ants. What they do 

will reduce their population. 

Next week, I will 

go over what should and 

should not be done outside. 

Because, if you continue to 

do the wrong things, the organic 

pest control company 

will not be able to solve the 

problem correctly. 

I cover all of this indepth 

in my book “Dances 

with Ants.” 

So, what to do to keep 

ants out of the house? 

First off, believe it or 

not, you must clean up. 

Food sources will only 

attract more ants. When 

you are cleaning, you will 

need to use vinegar. Yep, 

regular vinegar will not 

only clean up but also will 

remove their trails. Ants 

leave a pheromone trail 

so other ants can follow it 

to the food source. If you 

have a lot of ants running 

around, then you can add 

1 cup vinegar to a gallon 

sprayer filled with water. 

Leave room for the cup 

of vinegar! You can spray 

them with this, and it will 

kill them. 

When you are sure you 

have killed all the ants 

inside, go outside and spray 

this mixture around the 

base of the house. Before 

you spray, try to see how 

they are entering the house 

and mark it with a magic 

marker. You will need to 

plug it up. 

The best way to do this 

is to get boric acid from a 

local garden center. Make 

sure it is pure boric acid. 

Then, buy a chalking 

gun along with the chalk. 

Squeeze a small amount 

of the chalk into a bowl 

and then add 1 tablespoon 

of the boric acid and mix 

thoroughly. Then use that 

to chalk up the entrances 

you have marked. When 

the ants return and try to 

find their way in, it will kill 

them. 

Still, don’t think that will 

stop them. They will find 

other ways in! Be on the 

lookout for how they enter 

your home. It is for this reason 

that before you spray 

inside to kill them that you 

must try to determine where 

they are coming from and 

then use the same chalk to 

plug it up. Once you spray, 

the ants will retreat, and 

they will find their entrances 

closed when they return. 

You can also use some 

natural products to kill ants. 

One example is Dr. Bronner’s 

soaps. They come in a 

variety of flavors like peppermint, 

almond, lavender, 

etc. Just pick what you like 

best. Dilute 2 ounces of the 

soap into a quart of water. 

That will also kill them. 

Many natural castile 

soaps on the market also 

work. 

Another option is essential 

oil mixes. Try Thieves 

Essential Oil by Young 

Living. Be careful when 

using essential oils, as they 

are powerful. Always use 

them from a trusted company 

and one that comes 

diluted since if you buy the 

concentrate, you will probably 

use too much and hurt 

yourself. 

Many folks do not like 

using any chemical, even if 

it is natural, since they are 

susceptible to the smells. 

For some, even using 

vinegar is too much! So, 

you can boil hot water and 

spray that. It will kill them, 

but it will not remove their 

trails so you will have to do 

it regularly. 

There are many boric 

acid baits available. Try 

Terro or Drake, both of 

which are made with only 

sugar and boric acid. I 

would also try Gardens 

Alive since they have a 

variety of natural ant baits. 

If you find that none of 

the above works, visit your 

local garden center and see 

if they have any natural 

pyrethrum sprays for 

ants. They may also carry 

the various essential oil 

products available for ant 

control. AnaWalt Lumber 

has some nice ones available. 

They also have the 

Terro there. 

Green Thumb in Ventura 

has more varieties of 

natural ant control sprays 

as well as Terro. Just don’t 

buy the chemicals they 

want to sell you. Tell them 

The Invisible Gardener sent 

you, and they will know 

what you want! 

I do want to mention 

one crucial thing which I 

learned over many years of 

doing ant control. I started 

in the sixth grade when my 

mom told her neighbors 

that I was controlling the 

ants around our house. I 

use the word controlling 

because I do not like killing 

anything — even ants! 

They are Mother 

Nature’s janitors, and we 

should respect them. So, 

kill them only as a last 

resort. They react to the 

environment. They respond 

to plants when they are 

stressed. That is what they 

do. Stressed plants are their 

primary food and water 

sources. You cannot kill all 

the ants. More will come to 

replace them. 

Next week, I will cover 

ways to control them in the 

yard.

For the last 22 

months, Wheels and 

Waves at the Malibu 

Country Mart has been 

a success and growing 

steadily. 

Amazing cars, and 

celebs like Dick van 

Dyke, Jonathan Banks, 

Tony Dow and others have 

swung by. It also features 

great coffee, Hot Wheels 

and incredible people. I’m 

super grateful to all those 

who have attended and 

supported the show for 

more almost two years. 

But the time has come 

to shift into second gear. 

And thanks to Malibu 

Country Mart, the single 

most prized spot in Malibu 

is now ours. Beginning in 

August, Wheels and Waves 

will be held at The Malibu 

Country Mart courtyard in 

Come visit our showroom 

Classic cars attend Wheels and Waves every third Sunday. Now, the show is to move to a new spot in Malibu Country Mart. Surf City Dano

you guys and your most 

prized possessions. 

Improvements include a

for us to swap stories and 

share our rides. There is 

no better place in Southern 

California to spend a

From the Editor 

Too close for comfort 

Lauren Coughlin 


Reports from the Los 

Angeles County 

District Attorney’s 

Office constantly leave me 

in awe. 

On Friday, July 13 

alone, the DA’s Office 

sent seven releases. The 

alleged crimes detailed 

in them ranged from 

possession of child porn, 

to shooting two dogs 

in East Los Angeles, to 

murdering a USC grad 

student, to raping four 

women and killing one 

in Gardena, to killing 

Poet’s Corner 

a woman and dumping 

her body in Whittier, 

to hacking into Selena 

Gomez’s email, to leaving 

a 6-year-old child in a hot 

car for over an hour in 

Alhambra. 

Thankfully, none of 

these incidents occurred in 

Malibu. But when crime 

does happen in Malibu, 

it certainly is cause for 

concern. 

Unfortunately, residents 

of Malibu and every other 

community out there just 

never know what they 

might be up against until 

it happens. 

This month brought the 

shocking news regarding 

Malibu resident Stafford 

Taylor, who police said 

may have been assaulted 

in Malibu. The story can 

be found on Page 3, but I 

know many have already 

learned of the incident 

through a well-supported 

GoFundMe page as well. 

The current details 

police can offer to the 

public are vague, as the 

investigation is ongoing, 

but the severity of 

Taylor’s injuries speak 

volumes. I know this isn’t 

the Malibu that anyone 

envisions. 

Many are still also 

shocked by the nearby 

murder of Tristan Beaudette 

and, coupled with 

Taylor’s case, it doesn’t 

exactly offer a lot of reassurance 

for the community. 

I wish I had more answers. 

And I’m sure police 

do, too. 

But for now all that I can 

say is be safe. Watch out 

for yourself, and watch out 

for one another. And call 

police if you see something 

suspicious. 

There is so much beauty 

in Malibu, but when the 

ugly rears its head, it cannot 

be ignored. 

I don’t do dog poems, W.S. Merwin 

Ellen Reich, Malibu resident 

I read your poem “Dog Dreaming.” 

It was beautiful as are all your poems 

about nature and the Hawaiian 

Islands. 

But dogs frighten me. 

I had to be hypnotized 

just to be able to stroll alone 

in my lovely tree-rich neighborhood 

called Malibu Park. When I am 

walking, 

though “cured” of irrational fear, 

there is lingering anxiety. 

If I see an object in the distance, 

it could be a mailbox, 

it could be a pile of debris from a 

windstorm, 

no matter what, it is always a dog. 

Finally, close enough 

to figure out what it really is, 

sometimes merely a crumpled paper 

bag, 

I breathe a sigh of relief. 

I know that is a cliché, William Stanley. 

but that is what I do — I breathe a sigh 

of relief.

Students gain perspective at photography course 

Malibu’s Breeding 

outlines essentials, 

more in recent twohour 

session 

Barbara Burke 


On a sunny evening at 

Malibu Bluffs Park, a group 

of excited students gathered 

for an Outdoor Photography 

Exploration course with 

Malibu photographer Cecily 

Breeding. 

The course taught the 

basics of creating a visual 

narrative with photographs, 

as well as fundamental photography 

techniques and 

tips. The event, sponsored 

by the City of Malibu, was 

held July 13. 

A picture is worth a thousand 

words, as the old saying 

goes, and Breeding 

aimed to help students create 

visual storytelling at its 

best. 

There are so many phrases 

and terms to master when 

one begins to learn photography. 

Aperture. Shutter speed. 

Composition. Focus. Perspective. 

Gesture. Framing. 

Landscape (horizontal), 

portrait (vertical) and orientation 

(square). Various 

concepts and terms address 

lighting of all types – back 

lighting, front lighting and 

the ever-tricky side lighting, 

or dimensional lighting. 

Then, there are acronyms 

such as AF (auto-focus) 

and IOS (a measurement of 

how much an image is exposed 

to light). One must 

master the rule of thirds, a 

technique for creating the 

best visual composition by 

mentally dividing the image 

into horizontal and vertical 

planes. Of course, one can 

consider creating silhouettes 

and whether to shoot a 

series of photographs. 

Breeding, just back from 

taking a group of Pepperdine 

students to Fiji, is 

the quintessential teacher, 

a wonderful mix of bubbly 

energy and knowledge 

combined with the hardto-find 

ability to make detailed 

information comprehensible. 

Students began with the 

fundamentals. 

“The basics of photographs 

involve considering 

focus and composition,” 

Breeding said. “Think of 

those two concepts as the 

meat and potatoes of a meal, 

or, if you’re a non-meat-eater, 

as the kale and tomatoes 

of a great meal. Everything 

else is gravy. 

“The focal point is the 

center of interest in the image, 

often involving lines 

going into a distance. Composition 

principles instruct 

that a great photo should 

have a foreground and a 

background, not distracting 

the viewer with any other 

visual chatter.” 

Demonstrating with her 

camera, ever attentive and 

patient, Breeding helped 

each student with their cameras. 

Then, it was off for a nature 

walk so students could 

start to take pictures and 

practice their techniques. 

Tagging along, guiding 

but allowing for exploration, 

Breeding gently told 

a student, “I like to tell the 

story of what is happening 

in my image – look, you can 

zoom out and tell a whole 

story of where someone or 

something is in space – or, 

you can zoom in and focus 

solely on one part of what 

Instructor Cecily Breeding (left) assists photography workshop attendee Rima 

Homayun on Friday, July 13, at Malibu Bluffs Park. Barbara Burke/22nd Century Media 

you see.” 

One student was intrigued 

by photographing bugs, another 

by the linear aspects 

of playground equipment’s 

angular structures playing 

with shadows and empty 

spaces, and another tried to 

get a bird to cooperate and 

pose. 

Returning to the classroom, 

Breeding said, “Think 

about how you took your 

picture – was it horizontal or 

landscape in its orientation? 

Or, was it portrait or vertical 

in its orientation?” 

Students displayed their 

images and discussed various 

factors they considered 

in composing their shot. 

“That’s terrific!” Breeding 

said to one student. 

“Good job!” 

Then, she pressed them 

to take other details into account. 

“Where’s the focal point 

of your picture?” she asked. 

“Why did you choose to 

compose it that way? Think 

about telling the whole story 

as you consider how to 

frame the photos. Remember 

you are visually storytelling.” 

Gesturing, she noted how 

changing one’s position entirely 

changes the image’s 

perspective and message. 

A mini lecture ensued, 

with Breeding ensuring that 

all students comprehended 

the ever-important rule of 

thirds, as well as framing 

principles. 

Back in the park, bolstered 

by the confidence of 

having a little knowledge, 

students loosened up and 

had fun. Soon, one was on 

the ground coaxing bugs to 

emerge from the grass and 

Breeding joined them, taking 

pictures of her students 

taking pictures, giggling 

and putting pupils at ease. 

“Oooh!” she said. “This 

is fun! I get bonus points on 

this one because I’m framing 

and back lighting all at 

once, and I’m considering 

perspective.” 

Back in the classroom 

again for a brief review and 

a chat about participants’ 

images, smiling students 

listened as Breeding asked 

each one “What is your light 

source? Did you use the 

sun? A flash? See how we 

can determine that by just 

looking at your photos?” 

Soon, sunset’s sweet light 

serenely emerged, bringing 

that magic time that photographers 

wait for to capture a 

perfect image. 

The students excitedly 

shot some images, comparing 

and contrasting techniques 

and how to capture 

content best. 

“Three key photographic 

concepts provide us with the 

basic theories,” Breeding 

said. “Shutter speed, aperture 

and ISO are the three key 

photographic principles.” 

Seguing smoothly to synthesizing 

complicated principles, 

Breeding provided 

a brief presentation about 

lenses, aperture and zooming 

in and out. Studious attendees 

paid rapt attention, 

taking notes and asking 

pointed questions. 

“The great thing about 

photography is that you 

can learn a little at a time, 

keep practicing based on 

the knowledge that you’ve 

gained, and then come back 

to learn more,” Breeding 

said as the class came to a 

close. 

Attendees nodded in 

agreement. 

“I learned a lot about my 

camera and how it works,” 

said David Coppola, 12. “I 

also learned how to compose 

a picture and how to 

properly focus.” 

Coppola’s friend, Mattox 

Lemley, 13, chimed in. 

“I learned how a camera 

functions and how to think 

about the composition of a 

shot – how to focus the camera 

to get the shot I want,” 

he said. 

Eight-year-old Willy 

Hipple, grinning shyly, said 

“my favorite part of the 

class was learning how to 

take a picture right and, see, 

here’s one that is great.” 

Willy’s mom, Tania Lopez, 

was delighted that the 

City of Malibu offered her 

son such a great experience. 

“We’ve been looking for 

opportunities to have Willy 

be able to learn about the 

camera but also to learn 

how to use the camera,” she 

said. “It’s hard to find such 

opportunities for kids his 

age.” 

Rima Homayun thoroughly 

enjoyed Breeding’s 

teaching style. 

“I loved this class – Cecily 

is a great teacher and 

I will take her next class 

in the fall which will teach 

manual photography,” she 

said. “It’s time well spent 

and it’s an affordable price.” 

Breeding will offer another 

Outdoor Photography 

Exploration course from 

6-8 p.m. on Saturday, Aug.

Campers gain knowledge from 

City to offer girls 

basketball session 

from July 23-26 

Ryan Flynn 


Youth basketball camp 

is in session once again at 

Malibu High School. 

For three weeks, girls 

basketball coach Andy 

Meyer will teach Malibu’s 

youngsters how to pass, 

dribble and shoot in fun, 

three-hour sessions, with 

some help from his MHS 

basketball players. 

The City of Malibu 

basketball camp has been 

running for well over a decade, 

and Meyer has overseen 

it for the past eight 

years. 

Meyer teaches history, 

psychology and sociology 

at the high school along 

with his duties as head 

basketball coach. All told, 

he’s been with the school 

for 25 years, coaching the 

boys team for 12 years and 

the girls for the past nine. 

“Since I coached basketball 

at the high school, I 

like coaching the younger 

kids,” Meyer said. “They 

have so much fun doing 

it. It’s not such a serious 

basketball camp — some 

camps are and those are 

great. This is more of a 

camp where kids who want 

to do something for the 

week and get a little better 

at basketball.” 

Usually the youngest 

kids attending are about 

5 years old and the oldest 

11 or 12. The activities 

depend on the age of the 

participants, though Meyer 

said he’ll sometimes split

the group up and have his 

counselors play with half 

the group if there’s a big 

age gap. 

“We do the basics like 

stretching, getting loose 

before we do any sports,” 

Meyer said. “We often 

play dodgeball for a little 

bit to loosen up. 

“We do basketball fundamentals: 

basic dribbling, 

shooting and passing. 

Again, it depends on the 

age and the skill level, and 

that varies every session.” 

Summer sports 

continue 

The City of Malibu’s 

remaining sports day 

camps, for ages 6-13, 

are as follows: 

• July 23-26: tennis, 

9 a.m.-12 p.m. at 

Malibu High School 

(30215 Morning View 

Dr.); ultimate sports, 9 

a.m.-12 p.m. at Bluffs 

Park (24250 Pacific 

Coast Highway); girls 

basketball, 10 a.m.-1 

p.m. at Malibu High 

• July 30-Aug. 2: Nerf 

sports, 9 a.m.-12 p.m. 

at Bluffs Park; tennis, 9 

a.m.-12 p.m. at Malibu

There are three sessions

Each one runs Monday 

through Thursday from 10 

a.m.-1 p.m. Parents can 

sign their students up for 

one day or the entire week 

through the City of Malibu. 

This year, for the first 

time, there is a plan for the 

third week (July 23-26) to 

be for girls only. 

“Sometimes the girls just

MHS basketball coach, players 

want to play with girls or 

sometimes the guys won’t 

pass them the ball,” Meyer 

said. 

In the event that not 

enough girls sign up, there 

will be a combined session 

for both boys and girls for 

the third week. 

Meyer relies on the help 

of his assistant coach Nina 

Hungerland as well as his 

four counselors, who are all 

members of Meyer’s girls 

basketball team. Time at 

the camp counts toward the 

required community service 

hours that MHS students 

need to graduate. 

“I didn’t really know what 

to expect, but I enjoy teaching 

and working with kids 

and it turned out to be a great 

experience,” rising senior 

Ava Norrell said. “It’s always 

fun having a group of people 

who really want to learn 

something, be it basketball 

or any sport. The kids are enthusiastic 

and always ready 

to play. At times it didn’t 

feel like I was counseling 

as much as just playing with 

the kids and teaching them 

moves, which made it enjoyable 

for all of us.”

Athlete of the Week 

10 Questions 

with Ava Norrell 

Ava Norrell, 16, is a rising 

senior who plays small 

forward for Malibu Sharks 

girls basketball. 

What do you like most 

about the game of 

basketball? 

I love how fast-paced 

the sport is, whether it’s in 

a game or just practicing. 

It feels like I always have 

to stay alert and keep my 

mental game up along with 

the actual sport. I also love 

the community aspect of 

it, since being on the high 

school team has tied me 

into a great group of girls. 

What are your goals 

for next season? 

I’m already planning for 

a busy schedule next year 

being a senior, so definitely 

making the most of my 

practice time so I can ultimately 

up my court confidence. 

What do you like about 

playing for coach Andy 

Meyer? 

I like how he encourages 

us to go beyond our season’s 

practices and games 

to improve as both individuals 

and as a team. We’ve 

participated in summer 

and fall leagues and tournaments, 

which have been 

both beneficial and fun! 

Where in the world 

would you most like to 

travel? 

I’d have to say France 

or Spain. I’d love to experience 

some of the culture 

and see some of the architecture 

there, and I love 

beaches and good food. 

What area of your 

game are you most 

focused on improving? 

As before, mainly my 

confidence in games. I can 

practice individually, but 

I’ve also got to make sure 

that I stay aware and confident 

of my shooting and 

dribbling on the court to 

fully put my practice to use. 

What do you like about 

living in Malibu? 

I love how close yet isolated 

it is from everything. 

Somehow we have all of 

LA to explore, and all of 

its concert venues, museums, 

and attractions galore, 

while having the beach and 

mountains as a front and 

backyard. 

What are your plans 

after you graduate? 

I’m really interested in 

math, physics, and engineering 

so I’ll be studying a 

STEM-related field in college. 

After that, I’m hoping 

to pursue a career that can 

incorporate all those interests, 

such as aerospace engineering 

or research. 

Photo Submitted 

Who has the best 

nickname on the team? 

That one goes to Amelia, 

or “Pip” after the Chipmunk 

from the Disney 

movie “Enchanted.” For 

better or worse, our team 

isn’t too big on nicknames 

and my name’s already 

short enough to leave as is! 

What are your hobbies 

outside of basketball? 

I’m a musician, so I 

spend a lot of my time playing 

and tabbing out music 

for guitar and ukulele. I’ve 

also found the time to pick 

up reading, so I’ve recently 

been browsing everything 

from poetry to science fiction 

classics to guides on 

how to spot clouds. 

If you could have one

would it be? 

Oh, hard question. Probably 

time travel so I could 

meet some of my favorite 

historical figures and see 

some significant events. Or 

I could use it to see concerts 

I missed and have a pet dinosaur. 

But, whatever the 

reason, probably time travel. 

Interview by Freelance Reporter 

Ryan Flynn 

Feet on the ground, 

eyes on the prize 

With 150 barefoot 

marathons down, 

Malibu man to keep 

covering ground 


One-hundred-and-fifty 

barefoot marathons and 

3,930 barefoot miles are in 

the books for Malibu resident 

Alberto Perusset. 

And that’s on top of 39 

non-barefoot marathons, 

and miles and miles of 

training sessions. 

On July 8, the runner 

reached his latest milestone, 

wearing a symbolic 

tag No. 150, as he ran the 

Rock the Marina Marathon 

at Marina Vista Park in 

Long Beach. It was a grueling, 

extremely hot day, said 

Perusset, and it took him 

seven hours, 56 minutes 

and 54 seconds to cross the 

finish line. 

The heat is a factor not 

only on any runner’s body 

but, in Perusset’s case, on 

his feet, as the run is on 

pavement. 

“I can’t stop running,” 

Perusset explained in an 

email to the Surfside. “If I 

walk, I burn my feet, so I 

never stop.” 

At 60 years old, Perusset 

is as motivated and active 

as ever, a factor he largely 

contributes to his vegan 

lifestyle, which he adopted 

30 years ago. 

For more than a year, 

each and every weekend 

has involved a marathon, 

Perusset said, which sometimes 

means heading to 

Alberto Perusset, 60, of Malibu, completed his 150th 

barefoot marathon on July 8 in Long Beach. 

Photo Submitted 

Long Beach as he did July 

8. Charlie Alewine Racing, 

created by retired runner 

Charlie Alewine, organized 

that event, and organizes 

5K, 10K, half and full marathons 

each Saturday and 

Sunday, explained Perusset. 

“In a regular week, if I 

have a marathon on Sunday, 

I rest Monday and 

Tuesday and then I run just 

for one hour on Wednesday, 

Thursday and Friday, what 

I call maintenance (to keep 

the shape), and always rest 

on Saturday — the day before 

the race,” Perusset explained. 

“It is very critical 

to let the body recover.” 

Looking ahead, Perusset 

has several major marathons. 

On July 29, he is to 

head to San Francisco, and 

in August he plans to run 

marathons in Camarillo and 

Mexico City. 

By the fall, Perusset 

expects to reach another 

milestone: his 200th overall 

marathon. If all goes 

according to plan, that race 

will be the Long Beach 

Marathon on Oct. 7.
