Malibu Country Mart’s 6th annual Summer Block Party a hit 

Barbara Burke 

Freelance Reporter 

“Ice Cream!” “Come 

out and play!” “Go Nuts” 

“Scoop up the Fun!” 

“Smiles for Kids of all 

Ages.” 

Those fun phrases painted 

brightly on the side of an 

ice cream truck at the edge 

of the parking lot set the 

tone Saturday, Aug. 11, for 

the Malibu Country Mart’s 

sixth annual Summer Block 

Party. 

Caribbean and reggae 

music played by Island 

Rhythms set the lively vibe, 

as excited children, with 

parents and happy dogs in 

pursuit, went from activity 

booth to activity booth. 

On a warm Malibu summer 

day, the breezy playground 

area was full of families 

and friends relaxing and 

participating in all of the 

fun, free activities. 

Children had plenty to do, 

from face paintings to a petting 

zoo to the Strike-a-pose 

Photo Box, complete with 

hats and other accessories. 

“It’s fun to come out to 

Malibu to make wonderful 

waves of fun by snapping 

adorable shots of kids smiling 

so broadly,” said Chris 

Ben, owner of Strike-apose. 

Isabella Basseri, 7, chose 

to try her hand at making a 

spin art creation, intently 

adding paint to make a colorful 

design. 

“I had a lot of fun working 

with the spin art,” Isabella 

said. “I also walked to 

the beach with my dad and 

sisters. It’s a fun day!” 

Isabella’s father, Dr. 

Robert Basseri, smiled as 

he observed his daughter’s 

delight. 

“It’s a wonderful day and 

Alianna Nassos, 5, admires the blue hair extension she 

got during the Summer Block Party. 

this is an amazing event,” 

he said. “I can’t wait to 

bring the kids next year.” 

Caricature artists painted 

images of happy subjects 

donning hats of all varieties 

and sporting smiles, as 

onlookers gazed on and 

sampled coconut mango 

balls from Zuma Valley, a 

locally owned company. 

Down at the petting zoo, 

Snuffy the Alpaca was 

groomed for the day, as 

the goats, miniature horse, 

rabbits and other animals 

allowed children to pet 

them and get up close and 

personal. Major, the pygmy 

goat, was patient with curious 

toddlers pulling on his 

tail and touching his ears. 

“We bring the animals 

out to try to educate adults 

and kids alike about what 

responsibilities and details 

are involved in taking care 

of the animals,” said Jessica 

Reyes, of Reptacular 

Animals. “It is a good experience 

for children to see 

what such caretaking is all 

about and how the animals 

behave.” 

Wags & Walks Adoption 

Center shared the same 

philosophy, as volunteers 

gathered outside Paige, allowing 

for potential adopting 

families to get to know 

the animals. 

“We just wanted to do 

a good thing today at this 

event and help out the animals, 

as well as our environment, 

instead of life 

always being so materialistic,” 

said Alexa Ashley, of 

Paige. “We wanted to share 

genuine vibes and love.” 

Across the street, outside 

of the Starbucks, Get 

Shaved offered free snow 

cones, and Ray Woods and 

his family happily took a 

break from all of the action 

and enjoyed shaved ice. 

“We live in England, but 

we come to Malibu each 

summer and really enjoy this 

annual event,” Woods said. 

Olivia Taylor, 14, and her 

friend Maya Julian, 14, said 

they were thrilled with their 

Jonathan Kritzer with his son, Ashton, dig into some ice cream Saturday, Aug. 11, 

during Malibu Country Mart’s Summer Block Party.

henna paintings of a hamsa, 

with the eye in the center 

— a talismanic symbol 

used as a protective charm 

of peace and harmony in 

many cultures. 

“I like the hamsa and its 

message of peace and protection, 

and it goes with 

the bracelets that I design,” 

Woods said. 

Alianna Nassos, 5, said 

she was excited to get her 

hair braided with blue tones 

that matched Malibu’s 

skies and its waves, the latter 

just a short walk from 

the Country Mart. 

“I’m excited to be here at 

the fun, sun and surf event 

today,” said Alianna’s 

mother, Jenni Pulos-Nassos. 

“We love Malibu.” 

Ted Baker hosted Mom 

& Pop Shop, which offered 

all-natural popsicles 

that were dairy free, had no 

processed sugars and were 

gluten-free. 

Sandy Villetti walked 

by Ted Baker as she showcased 

Charlotte, a 3-yearold 

Doberman up for adoption, 

and tried Mom & 

Pop’s strawberry lemonade 

popsicle.

“The popsicle is delicious, 

and it hit the spot,” 

she said. “It’s a wonderful 

day when we can bring the 

dogs out and, hopefully, 

someone here in Malibu 

will make it a magical day 

and adopt one of these 

sweet animals.” 

Music, magic, memories, 

and moments with families 

and friends — the Malibu 

Country Mart’s annual 

Summer Fun Block Party 

delivered all of those again 

this year, cementing it as 

a favorite among the community.

Concerns linger regarding SCE’s shutoff plans 

Suzanne Guldimann 


At its July 12 meeting, 

the California Public Utilities 

Commission passed a 

resolution that strengthens 

the requirement for utility 

companies to shut off the 

power during periods of 

high fire danger. 

“De-energizing electric 

facilities during dangerous 

conditions can save lives 

and property and can prevent 

wildfires,” the PUC 

concluded. 

Critics, including many 

Malibu residents, remain 

concerned that the policy 

is being pushed through 

without adequate review. 

Southern California 

Edison spokesperson Bill 

Chu gave a presentation on 

the shutoff plan at the August 

Malibu Public Safety 

Commission meeting, providing 

the commissioners 

and members of the public 

an opportunity to learn 

more about the Public 

Safety Power Shutoff plan. 

The push for an emergency 

power shutoff protocol 

gained urgency following 

the Thomas Fire 

in Ventura and Santa Barbara 

counties last year. 

The devastating fire that 

burned almost 300,000 

acres is thought to have 

been caused by Edison 

equipment. 

Edison described the 

PSPS plan as “a practice of 

last resort.” The presentation 

outlined how the utility 

might “proactively shut 

off power in high fire risk 

areas, when extreme fire 

conditions present a clear 

and imminent danger to 

public safety.” 

Other safety measures 

outlined in the presentation 

included projects like the 

one in Malibu Canyon that 

involve replacing wooden 

poles in high fire areas 

with fire resistant materials; 

installing insulation, 

safer transformers, fasteracting 

fuses and high-tech 

lightning arrestors; and 

continuing inspections and 

brush and tree trimming. 

Edison announced that 

the company also is committed 

to installing remote 

weather stations and monitoring 

weather conditions. 

If a PSPS is ordered, local 

government and agency 

partners can expect to 

be notified “two hours 

prior to executing customer 

notifications, which are 

expected to be 48 and 24 

hours prior to executing a 

PSPS.” 

A potential estimate of 

2-10 days a year based on 

historical data has circulated, 

but the utility stresses 

that “in light of increased 

wildfire risk and public 

safety, SCE is evaluating 

more frequent use of this 

measure.” 

Many residents had 

questions and concerns, issues 

that are shared by City 

officials. In a letter to the 

PUC dated July 11, Malibu 

City Manager Reva Feldman 

outlined many of the 

City’s issues with the program. 

“We understand that 

the intent of the program 

is to decrease the chances 

of a fire during high wind 

events, but power lines are 

only one cause of fires,” 

Feldman wrote. “Fires are 

also frequently started by 

weed abatement tools, illegal 

campfires and lightning 

strikes. If Edison shuts off 

the power preemptively 

and a fire starts by another 

means, it could create an 

extremely dangerous and 

life-threatening situation 

in our community.” 

In the letter, Feldman 

points out that advance 

warning of the shutoff still 

may not allow for enough 

time to notify residents. It 

could take hours before the 

first notification could be 

sent,” she wrote. 

Feldman pointed out 

that Malibu’s water supply 

depends on electricity 

to power pump stations, 

that traffic signal outages 

on Pacific Coast Highway 

could hamper evacuation 

efforts, and that many residents 

do not have landlines 

and will be without cell 

service during a blackout. 

Community members 

echoed the city’s concerns 

at the Malibu meeting and 

raised many more, ranging 

from the logistics for 

people with medical conditions 

and equipment that 

requires electricity, to the 

risk that the blackout could 

hamper rescue efforts and 

increase the risk of accidents. 

Edison has stated that 

the utility “is committed to 

service reliability: de-energizing 

customers is not 

something we take lightly 

and is only sparingly used 

in the most extreme conditions.” 

After the meeting, local 

activist Georgia Goldfarb 

told Malibu Surfside News 

that she is an advocate for 

putting power lines underground 

in high-risk areas. 

“Edison presented their 

plan, but in my opinion it 

did not address the concerns 

that people brought 

up,” Goldfarb said. 

She suggests that residents 

share their concerns 

with their elected representatives. 

But California’s governor 

and legislature are 

working to fast-track the 

shutoff plan. They argue 

that the PSPS plan is 

needed urgently in a state 

that hasn’t recovered from 

2017’s fire storms — five 

of the worst in California 

history, and is struggling 

to cope with another catastrophic 

fire season. Eight 

of the 20 most destructive 

fires in California’s history 

have occurred since 2015, 

and the most costly and 

destructive fire in California’s 

history is currently 

burning in Mendocino 

County. 

SB-901 — “Electrical 

corporations: local publicly 

owned electric utilities: 

electrical cooperatives: 

wildfire mitigation 

plans and measures”—is 

currently in committee. 

The bill limits the liability 

of electric companies 

but also requires that each 

provider develop and implement 

a wildfire mitigation 

plan that includes “a 

description of the factors 

the preparing entity uses to 

determine when it may be 

necessary to de-energize 

its electrical lines.” 

Edison already implemented 

the PSPS protocol 

during a December 2017 

fire in the Idyllwild area. 

Power was shut down for 

5,646 customers during the 

period of highest fire risk, 

according to Edison data. 

Malibu Mayor Rick Mullen 

told Malibu Surfside 

News that, while he continues 

to have concerns, he 

is optimistic about some of 

the other measures the utility 

is taking to reduce fire 

danger. 

Malibu is known for... 

“Although we have 

concerns about any type 

of power shut off during 

emergencies, we welcome 

the opportunity to address 

all types of hazard mitigation 

and risk management 

with respect [to] the 

power grid,” Mullen wrote 

in an email to the Surfside. 

“These include undergrounding 

of utilities and 

the ongoing replacement 

of older power poles with 

poles more resistant to extreme 

wind conditions, as 

well as a range of risk management 

disaster preparation 

steps. 

We look forward to 

working with SCE and 

appreciate their outreach 

and dialogue on all matters 

related to emergency 

preparedness,” Mullen 

said.

Malibu Boys and Girls Club members serve, explore 

Trip to South Africa 

proves perspectivechanging 

for four 

Malibu students 


Malibu Boys and Girls Club member Travis Springer 

takes a selfie with the elephant that gave him a stick 

during the club’s service trip in South Africa. 

Photos Submitted 

An elephant never forgets 

— and neither will 

Malibu’s Travis Springer. 

Springer, a rising senior 

at Malibu High School, will 

always remember his time 

in South Africa because of 

a special souvenir given to 

him by an elephant. 

The stick Springer 

brought home is just one 

of the treasures — both 

tangible and intangible — 

which the four members of 

the Malibu Boys and Girls 

Club’s Leaders in Training 

program gleaned from 

South Africa, where they 

spent two-and-a-half weeks 

for a service trip last month. 

Twenty-four kids and several 

adults joined the four 

local representatives as 

they explored, served and 

enjoyed an experience of 

full cultural immersion all 

along the way. 

Springer was joined by 

Malibu Boys and Girls 

Club representatives Kelly 

Alvarez, a rising junior at 

Malibu High, Josue Garcia, 

a rising senior, and Amy 

Jimenez, a rising junior. 

The students visited three 

Boys and Girls Clubs in Johannesburg. 

At one of the 

clubhouses, Springer put 

his artistic skills to work, 

creating a mural featuring 

the club’s colors of yellow, 

light blue and pink. The 

design featured the club’s 

logo and the saying “Be 

great.” 

Because of his artistic 

and creative talents, some 

of the locals gave Springer 

a nickname in the Zulu language 

which translated to 

“gift from God.” 

The youths also painted 

a clubhouse’s gate, cleaned 

up trash, made a barbecue 

pit and more. 

Between visits to clubhouses, 

the teens went on 

a safari (where Springer 

met the elephant), visited 

an aquarium, took drum 

lessons at a restaurant and 

visited a museum, among 

other experiences. 

“I just love traveling so 

the fact that we go out every 

day and were doing all

really nice,” Springer said. 

Alvarez, who has been 

involved with Malibu’s 

Boys and Girls Club since 

fifth grade, said the local’s 

way of life made quite the 

impression. 

“I didn’t expect for them 

to be as welcoming and as 

happy as they were,” Alvarez 

said. 

Further, she noticed that 

the Boys and Girls Club

didn’t have video games,

other technological devices

with the locals, the visitors 

left their phones on the bus. 

“When we would just go

liked that because I felt like 

I was more in the moment.”

children and teens were 

also very informed on 

politics in the U.S. and 

more. 

Garcia also enjoyed playing 

with the locals, who 

taught their guests new 

games as well as some of 

their language. 

Garcia also learned that 

his preconceived view of 

South Africa wasn’t accurate, 

and he said he feels 

the country is often misportrayed, 

particularly in photographs. 

“In reality, there’s actually 

good parts and not every 

developing country is bad,” 

he said. 

Jimenez, too, said the 

experience allowed her to 

break down the stereotypes 

of what Africa is like, and 

to see that the residents of 

South Africa truly appreciate 

what they have. 

“It really shocked me 

how the communities are,” 

Jimenez said. “They don’t 

complain about how they 

live. They’re happy and 

they’re very close with one 

another, too.” 

And the locals were happy 

to have visitors as well, 

Jimenez said. 

“At one point we asked 

them how others would 

feel about us driving in the 

tour bus,” she said. “They 

said everyone’s probably 

happy because they’re glad 

and happy that Americans 

are in their country because 

that’s kind of like a privilege 

to them.” 

But to the Malibu visitors, 

the privilege was all 

theirs.

Five qualify for two open City Council seats in November election 

Michele Willer-Allred 


Malibu voters will get 

to choose from five City 

Council candidates who 

successfully qualified for 

this November’s election. 

Malibu City Clerk 

Heather Glaser announced 

the list of residents who 

met the 5 p.m. deadline Friday, 

Aug. 10, and who have 

been confirmed as qualified 

candidates. 

They are Olivia Damavandi, 

Karen Farrer, Jim 

Palmer, Mikke Pierson and 

Lance Simmens. 

The candidates will be 

vying for two seats that will 

be vacated by long-serving 

councilmembers Lou La 

Monte and Laura Rosenthal. 

Both are termed out 

this year. 

Those who are elected 

will be tasked with solving 

many of the issues Malibu 

is currently facing, including 

traffic, development, 

vacation rentals, Mountains 

Recreation and Conservation 

Authority land 

access, Federal Emergency 

Management Agency flood 

maps, and coastal and environmental 

preservation. 

Council candidates said 

they are up to the task. 

Pierson — a certified 

business coach, adviser and 

small business owner who 

has served on the Malibu 

Planning Commission for 

the past six years — was 

the first to return his paperwork 

and qualify earlier 

in the week. On Friday, he 

said he was kicking off his 

campaign with an event 

that night for close family 

and friends. 

“I just really care for 

Malibu,” said Pierson, a 

lifelong Malibu resident 

who has also served as a 

Public Works commissioner 

for the City. 

Pierson said he is running 

for council because he 

enjoys volunteering to help 

others and the community. 

He said he likes to be part 

of the groups that “make 

Malibu as special as it is” 

and also actively tackle the 

City’s problems. 

Simmens, a professional 

writer on contemporary 

political issues, said on his 

website that “a devotion to 

public service and comprehensive 

and compassionate 

public policy are still major 

drivers in my life.” 

“I’m honored to be qualified 

to run for a position in 

my community that I love 

so much,” Simmens told 

the Surfside by phone Monday, 

Aug. 13. “I just want to 

contribute as much as I can 

to make a difference.” 

An avid biker, one of 

the many issues Simmens 

plans to focus on is safety 

on PCH. He also said he 

wants to restore faith and 

confidence in elected governmental 

leaders. 

Simmens, a former adjunct 

professor of public 

policy at Santa Monica 

College, states that during 

his time when he’s not 

opining on national and 

global issues, he is actively 

involved in local politics. 

He previously served as 

president of the Malibu Adamson 

House Foundation 

and he is currently the vice 

president of the Malibu 

Democratic Club. 

Simmens said on social 

media that he will be calling 

on his friends for help 

as “I finally attempt to put 

my four-decade political 

career into a run for office.” 

Palmer, who grew up in 

Malibu, is an award-winning 

wine grape grower 

and winemaker at Malibu 

Vineyards, which he also 

owns. 

Palmer currently serves 

as chairman for the city’s 

Public Works Commission, 

and said what qualifies him 

most for City Council is his 

understanding of the nature 

of City government, dedication 

to the protection of 

historic and environmentally-sensitive 

sites, and love 

of community. 

“My heart is really in 

it,” Palmer told the Surfside. 

“I want to continue to 

preserve and maintain the 

quality of life and natural 

beauty of Malibu.” 

Farrer has served almost 

three decades as a Malibu 

public school volunteer and 

advocate in the community, 

including as president of 

the Advocates for Malibu 

Public Schools. Farrer has 

served for the past two 

years as a Facilities District 

Advisory Committee member 

for Santa Monica-Malibu 

Unified School District. 

“I’m very excited to run 

for City Council,” Farrer 

told the Surfside. “I have 

advocated for the Malibu 

community for years and 

look forward to the opportunity 

to continue to do so.” 

Farrer, a 40-year Malibu 

resident, said she cares 

deeply about the future 

of Malibu, and that the 

community needs leadership 

that is “honest and 

forthright, with focus on 

public safety, emergency 

preparedness, land use 

stewardship, preservation 

of natural resources and 

community partnerships.” 

Damavandi, who was 

born and raised in Malibu, 

is a former staff writer and 

assistant editor for The 

Malibu Times, and also previously 

served as the City’s 

media information officer. 

On her campaign website, 

Damavandi said she 

understands the unique 

problems facing Malibu, 

and her “wide range of experience 

in the community 

gives [her] the ability to 

solve those problems.” 

“I’ll fight to protect Malibu 

residents’ quality of life 

by putting Malibu’s interests 

above those of all other 

groups, including outside 

governmental agencies and 

financial investors,” wrote 

Damavandi, who is president 

of the Santa Monica 

Mountains Safe Trails Association. 

In other election news, 

Craig Foster was the only 

Malibu resident who qualified 

for the Santa Monica- 

Malibu Unified School District 

board election, where 

four seats are up for grabs 

in November. 

Foster, an incumbent 

who has served on the 

School Board since 2014, 

also is a local education 

advocate who would like 

to see Malibu form its own 

school district. 

The final list of qualified 

candidates from Santa 

Monica was not available as 

of press time, as signatures 

still were being counted. 

Two from Santa Monica 

have qualified: Laurie 

Lieberman and Richard 

Tahvildaran-Jesswein, both 

incumbents. 

It was still to be determined 

if Santa Monica 

residents Oscar de la Torre 

(an incumbent) and Ann 

Thanawalla have qualified. 

They both filed.

Gan Malibu takes students on tour of the world this summer 

Barbara Burke 


Gan Malibu’s preschool 

celebrated the end of 

its summer camp’s tour 

around the world on Friday, 

Aug. 10 — a perfect 

Malibu evening for the 

little ones, ages 2-6, to 

show their families their 

artwork and creations, and 

to share what they learned 

about countries representing 

some of their families’ 

heritages, including Italy, 

Jamaica, China, Israel, 

Russia and Mexico, as 

well as the United States. 

“This is the best possible 

place for a child as he starts 

his school experience,” 

said Gerard Keenan, parent 

of Kingston Keenan. “The 

very first day of Kingston’s 

school included him using 

an easel painting on this 

beautiful deck overlooking 

the ocean and pier. What a 

great start to a life of learning 

that was.” 

As attendees entered the 

preschool’s Shabbat party 

celebrating the literature, 

food, music, art and cultures 

about which they 

learned, some of the children’s 

artwork was colorfully 

displayed on tables, 

including their collaborative 

flags representing all 

the countries about which 

they learned. For every 

week of summer school, 

the children learned about 

a country and had a special 

visitor from the country. 

Pictured is the table representing China at the event. 

“Having the visitors 

from each country come 

and talk to the children really 

brought the experience 

alive for them,” said Sarah 

Cunin, director of Gan 

Malibu. “The guest speakers 

taught the children 

about the language of each 

country, teaching them 

special words about the 

dress and the food that the 

people in each country eat, 

all of which engaged the 

children’s interest. When 

children are interested, they 

explore more and are happy. 

When they are happy, 

they’re vessels ready to 

learn anything.” 

A globe and map accompanied 

the lessons, 

but what really focused the 

children’s cultural understanding 

and appreciation 

was that they learned by 

doing. 

The children started the 

summer by learning about 

Italy. What better way than 

to create their own pizza 

and make Italian Play-Doh. 

And garlic and basil challah 

was served for the first 

Shabbat party. 

Staying close to home 

the second week — the 

week of the Fourth of 

July — they learned how 

to bake an apple pie, and 

then they made red and 

blue slime. Chocolate chip 

challah was served for that 

Shabbat. 

China was the next port 

of call, and Chinese noodles 

proved fun to make for 

the children. 

“The younger children 

did the water colors for the 

paper lanterns they made 

that week,” said Micaela 

Chambers, lead teacher for 

the preschool. “The older 

children cut out the lanterns. 

This whole school is 

based on such collaborative 

learning by the various 

age groups in the class all 

working together on projects.” 

Sesame challah was

served for the Shabbat party 

that Friday. 

For Jamaica week, students 

made plantain chips, 

participated in a drum circle, 

learned what a bongo 

is and read books based 

on Bob Marley’s songs, 

including “Every Little 

Thing,” a book by Cedella 

Marley based on the song 

“Three Little Birds.” 

Israeli dancing, making 

falafel and Dead Sea 

exploration fascinated the 

children the next week. 

And falafel was served at 

the end-of-summer-school 

party. 

Making matryoshka 

stacking dolls proved to 

be one of the most popular 

art activities during Russia 

week, and the kreplach 

cooking also delighted 

the students. Beet challah 

helped the children celebrate 

Shabbat that week. 

Maracas and Taco Tuesday 

helped the children 

celebrate their final week, 

as they learned about our 

neighbors to the south in 

Mexico, complete with 

churro challah, a sweet way 

to celebrate their last Shabbat 

of summer camp. 

“My daughter, Sofia is 

2, and she has been to 30 

countries,” Antony Hoffman 

said.” “She just came 

back from Zanzibar, Tanzania 

and Cape Town, South 

Africa, where we were on 

holiday. I think the international 

flavor of this evening’s 

event and the food 

from all over the world is 

great for children’s learning.” 

Estelle Reyna, Kingston 

Keenan’s mother, agreed. 

“Gan is a very artistic 

school, and it is wonderful 

for the children to 

grow up knowing about so 

many countries,” she said. 

“It is very important in our 

world to have cultural understanding.” 

Helping to make the 

world go round, one child 

at a time, the summer camp 

was a huge success. All attendees 

thoroughly enjoyed 

a special Shabbat party to 

celebrate the wholeness 

and oneness of multicultural 

Malibu. 

Man arrested for trespassing at Broad Beach home

Rotary Club treasurer shares 

tales from recent mission trip 

Barbara Burke 


It wasn’t an easy journey, 

but it was a successful one. 

Earlier this year, Malibu’s 

Joy Arcenas went to her 

native Philippines, where 

$1,000 in donations became 

2,000 pairs of slippers for 

those in need. 

At the Malibu Rotary 

Club’s Aug. 1 meeting, Arcenas 

(the club’s treasurer) 

shared details of her latest 

mission trip and her nonprofit, 

The Art of Giving 

(founded in 2014). 

“We also provided backpacks 

and school supplies 

that were so very appreciated 

by the recipients,” she 

said. “This was our Rotary’s 

first international trip to the 

Philippines and it was very 

successful.” 

Her budget for the trip 

was PHP 500,000, equivalent 

to $10,000, and, good 

treasurer that she is, she 

stretched those funds to do 

the most possible good. 

Pulling off all of the logistical 

details of acquiring, 

assembling and distributing 

donations in the archipelagic 

country with its voluminous 

number of complicated 

and geographically 

diverse islands proved to be 

a herculean effort. Fortuitously, 

Arcenas was helped 

greatly by family members 

and friends. 

“My cousin, Salvacion 

Sausama, was able to get 

the backpacks wholesale 

after she conducted quality 

control by examining 

samples to make sure they 

were well made,” Arcenas 

said. “With 10,000 pesos, 

we got the backpacks we 

needed from a Manilla 

warehouse and volunteers 

Shoes, backpacks and more were donated to needy in 

the Philippines through the Malibu Rotary Club’s first 

international trip to the country. Photo Submitted 

who were my friends and 

many members of my family 

— my brothers, sisters 

and nieces — also all 

helped me assemble the 

materials at my brother’s 

mango farm. I belong to 

a very large, giving family, 

so we never have any 

problems getting enough 

volunteers.” 

Arcenas’ presentation 

showed the volunteers in 

action as they went on foot 

where no vehicle could 

traverse, sweltering in the 

country’s oppressive humidity. 

“When we went into some 

rural areas, then sometimes 

we went by donkey,” Arcenas 

said. “If it was a low 

tide, we went by buffalo.” 

Excursions to do good 

often present challenges for 

volunteers who weary on 

the way as they encounter 

logistical and physical obstacles. 

The Philippines is a 

complicated and economically 

challenged country, 

suffering from war in parts 

of its sovereign, as well as 

a lack of infrastructure in 

some parts of the country 

Rotary Club meetings 

All are invited to attend

meetings at no cost.

a.m. each Wednesday

and frequent political turmoil. 

Given those variable and 

realities, it is not surprising 

that remote areas are most 

in need of hands-on, concrete, 

useful help like that 

which Arcenas and her team 

delivered. 

Rotary International is an 

international service organization 

intended to bring 

together business and professional 

leaders to provide 

humanitarian services, encourage 

high ethical standards 

in all vocations, and to 

advance goodwill and peace 

around the world. 

Malibu’s Rotary Club has 

a motto of service above self. 

Arcenas’ project exemplifies 

meeting both of those 

goals.

Zuma Beach lifeguard 

awarded Medal of Valor 

Submitted by International 

Surf Festival 

Photo Op 

Zuma Beach Ocean Lifeguard 

Joseph Rickabaugh 

was among eight Los Angeles 

County Fire Department 

Ocean Lifeguards 

recently honored for demonstrating 

extraordinary 

and exemplary bravery in 

the line of duty and while 

off-duty. 

Rickabaugh was presented 

with the Medal of 

Valor, the evening’s highest 

honor. 

On May 24, while enjoying 

3- to 5-foot surf at Ventura’s 

County Line Beach, 

Ocean Lifeguard Joe Rickabaugh 

heard screams for 

help and observed a surfer 

floating motionless in the 

surf, roughly 100 yards 

away. Though off-duty, 

Rickabaugh immediately 

paddled toward the victim. 

Upon arrival, he took command 

of the incident, and 

with the help of nearby 

surfers placed the victim — 

who regained consciousness, 

but complained of 

no feeling or movement in 

his arms and legs — on a 

surfboard and paddled him 

to shore. Rickabaugh provided 

appropriate medical 

treatment until the arrival 

of paramedics. He also assisted 

in the extrication of 

the surfer off the beach to 

awaiting responders, where 

the victim was airlifted to a 

local trauma center. Rickabaugh’s 

quick-response 

and outstanding ocean 

skills enabled him to return 

the victim to shore in the 

safest manner. Rickabaugh 

also took the extra step of 

bringing the injured surfer’s 

surfboard up the hill, 

so it could be secured in a

Don’t Panic, It’s Organic 

How to care for an organic vegetable garden during a drought, heat 

Andy Lopez 

Contributing Columnist 

Invisible Gardener 

Having a vegetable 

garden is tough 

enough these days 

to deal with snails, rabbits, 

and other pests and diseases. 

But now one must 

also deal with the drought, 

the heat and the fires. 

Well, you can do it! 

Here are some tips to 

help you grow vegetables 

during these climate 

changes. 

First off, you must 

control your urge to 

water more. No amount of 

watering will keep your 

vegetables from frying in 

the heat. Your tomatoes 

will fare worse. So, what 

to do? 

A raised bed is the ideal 

way to grow vegetables. 

The beds will allow you 

to control the health of 

the soil. It will allow you 

to control your water usage. 

It will allow you to 

control animals and other 

pests. It will allow you 

to control heat and sun 

damage. 

You can make a raised 

bed out of anything that is 

available to you. You can 

make it out of untreated 

wood or out of rocks or 

even bricks. 

With a raised bed, you 

can erect a cover that you 

can use to control the 

temperature, as well as 

control the sun from burning 

the plants. There are 

many row covers that can 

be bought and converted 

as a raised bed cover. You 

can get a type of shade 

cloth that you can put over 

the bed, reducing the sun’s 

damage. 

Having said that, I 

would like to add that 

what you can do to really 

make the raised beds work 

even better is to build a 

greenhouse and have the 

raised beds inside the 

greenhouse. You will be 

amazed as to how much 

control you will have. You 

can regulate the temperature 

of both the greenhouse 

as well as the soil. 

You can control the water, 

as well as control light. 

Many greenhouses can 

be made that allow you 

to control the amount of 

light that enters as well 

as the amount of air. 

You can make your own 

microclimate inside of a 

greenhouse. A greenhouse 

will not stop the fires from 

burning but will allow you 

to grow year-round. 

You can add a watering 

system via drip line 

to each raised bed. You 

can add misters to allow 

it to water above as well 

as cool off. A misting system 

is easy to make and 

install. An advantage of 

a greenhouse is also that 

you can add a fertigation 

unit to the water before it 

enters the greenhouse. A 

fertigation unit allows you 

in add an organic liquid 

nutrient as the plants get 

watered. 

Another idea is to 

grow other plants in large 

containers, such as various 

fruit trees or other type 

of fruit bearing plants or 

even vines. The variety of 

plants can be managed to 

allow the right amount of 

light inside. 

One should try to keep 

the bulk of the water 

underground. Raised beds 

allow this to happen quite 

well. 

Another thing you can 

do with a greenhouse is 

to make it detachable, so 

that you can take out parts 

as needed. You will not be 

needing the greenhouse 

year-round. So, during 

those times when it is not 

needed, you can remove 

the parts and return them 

when needed. 

The same holds true 

for light, in that you can 

control the amount of light 

your plants get. Vegetables 

and all plants require a 

certain amount of light to 

grow correctly. You can 

use LED lights to fill in 

the missing light. This will 

allow you to extend your 

growing season as well as 

day length. 

Not everyone can grow 

inside a greenhouse. You 

can still have a garden 

by making rowing covers 

for your vegetables. You 

should always keep the 

water below ground. Be 

generous with applying 

mulch. Your garden can 

have soaker hose buried 

and then covered with 

layers of hay and compost. 

You can plant directly 

into this. Plants will keep 

cooler and grow better 

with this type of system. 

Another thing you will 

need to do is to grow 

plants that are from 

hot areas of the world. 

These plants can withstand 

warmer and hotter 

weather. So, do not get 

your seeds from the local 

nursery but order directly 

from seed growers in these 

types of countries. You 

can do a Google search for 

vegetables from hot countries 

and order from them. 

There are also many organic 

seed companies that 

sell seeds from around 

the world. You also can 

join an international seed 

exchange. Facebook has a 

large selection of gardening 

groups from around 

the world. Do a search, 

and you will be surprised 

as to how many there are. 

Also, there are many 

types of vegetables that 

you would never think 

of growing, let alone 

eating — many of which 

are flowers. Here are a 

few you can try growing 

during hot and dry 

weather: allium, anise, 

arugula, basil, cilantro, 

squash, marigold flower, 

chamomile, chrysanthemum, 

citrus blossoms, 

dandelion flowers, dill, 

English daisy, hibiscus, 

impatiens, Johnny jump 

up, nasturtium, lemon 

verbena blossoms, rose 

petals, sunflower petals 

and violets. 

There are a variety of 

corn, tomatoes and peppers 

that love the heat. 

Many herbs will do well 

and require little watering. 

Another important thing 

to remember is never to 

fertilize during a heat 

wave. This will only burn 

your plants. You can give 

them compost tea, either 

through your fertigation 

system or poured around 

the base of the plants, 

though. Organic fertilizers 

can be applied if needed 

and in small amounts. 

I would apply at night 

and watered in well, then 

mulched over. 

One more thing about 

seeds. Please try to save 

seeds from any plant that 

you are growing which 

does well. The seeds will 

produce plants that are 

better able to grow under 

these conditions. Save 

their seeds and use them, 

and they will be even better 

than their parents.

Ride of the Week 

Feeling nostalgic in a 1980 Jeep J10 Pickup 

Fireball Tim Lawrence 

Contributing Columnist 

Malibu resident 

Most of the time 

here with Ride 

of the Week, 

I’m driving something 

much older than myself. 

I’m always in search of a 

great story or experience to 

share with you readers. 

But this week’s Ride of 

the Week goes to something 

a bit newer, although 

still a classic. And I grew 

up with cars like these, so 

I have some experience 

here. 

Back in 1980, when 

this Jeep J10 was built, 

American Motor Cars was 

still a thing, and it owned 

Jeep. But refined cars like 

how they are now was not 

a thing. Pickup trucks did 

exactly what they were 

built for: hauling your crap 

around from one apartment 

to the next, as you 

screamed of First World 

problems. 

But in all the complaining 

about our lights not 

being turned on yet or 

not having enough beer 

for the weekend, trucks 

like this J10 were a very 

large part of our lives. 

They were workhorses 

that moved furniture, hay 

bales and friends around 

the lake. It was a fun time 

Fireball TIm Lawrence stands in front of a 1980 Jeep J10, this issue’s Ride of the Week. Photo by Kathie Lawrence 

for me in high school 

with a car like this. 

The pickup we had back 

in the day took us to the 

beach with boogie boards, 

was an echo chamber of 

AC/DC (we had a camper 

shell) and got us to Magic 

Mountain more times than 

I can count, even with no 

oil in the car. 

I remember one time, 

my friend Jim — driving 

with myself, my brother 

and buddy Mike in the 

back — hit a bump on 

Highway 126 going a bit 

too fast. Our heads hit the 

top of the camper shell, 

and we bounced around 

like ping-pong balls, 

nearly smacking each 

other. We survived to tell 

the story. 

And that is a thing, too. 

Most of us born in the 

1960s really should not be 

here right now, because of 

drinking out of the garden 

hose, riding our bikes with 

no helmets, disappearing 

at 8 a.m. and not coming 

home till 6 for dinner with 

no cellphones, and, of 

course, a pickup truck like 

this J10. Good times. 

But alas, those times are 

gone, and new good times 

appear now. This Jeep is 

part of the Murphy Auto 

Museum collection, where 

they have lots of other 

Jeeps and vintage trailers, 

too — a must-see. 

But my week in this 

truck reminded me of the 

pleasure of cold starts, 

grinding gears, roll-up 

windows, skinny steering 

wheels and ka-klunkety 

sounds. Also, it certainly 

made me grateful for new 

cars. 

But this was new in 

1980. That was an exciting 

year for me, as I went 

from becoming a freshman 

to being a sophomore, 

and I was about to get my 

license! 

Cars like these remind us 

of good memories, hopefully. 

But it also reminds 

us to appreciate our lives. 

Be grateful for what we 

have and those around us. 

Whether it was a pickup or 

Volkswagen bug, our first 

kiss, fender bender or party 

on wheels, it locked itself 

into history and became 

our experience. And like a 

classic car, we become the 

classic. 

Take care of yourself, 

and maybe you’ll be appreciated 

just like them for 

having a rich history. 

Have a great week, 

folks!

Malibu Makos surf camp concludes with memorable day 

Final lesson 

comes in form 

of water rescue 

demonstration 

Staff Report 

Sometimes, the very 

best things are saved for 

last. 

In the home stretch of the 

Malibu Makos surf camp 

on Friday, Aug. 10, participants 

were treated to an 

inflatable slide as well as 

a water rescue demonstration. 

The Los Angeles County 

Lifeguard’s demonstration 

started with flares being 

thrown in the water offshore 

from Zuma Beach. 

Next, a lifeguard boat arrived 

on scene, and a “distressed 

swimmer” was 

pulled onto a jet ski. 

Campers and instructors 

gathered on shore to witness 

the lively demonstration, 

which served as one 

final lesson at the beloved 

summertime camp. 

Malibu Makos Surf 

Camp is a longtime tradition 

in Malibu, running this 

summer from June 11-Aug. 

10. This year, campers 

were blessed with idyllic 

weather. 

“It’s been a beautiful 

summer with amazing kids 

and the water has been super 

warm,” Malibu Makos 

Founder Tom Corliss said. 

“This is one of the nicest 

summers we’ve had in our 

28-year program.” 

The camp provides so 

much more than just fun in 

the sun, though. 

“Makos is the best surf 

camp in Malibu and my 

son is getting a lot of experience 

out of it,” said parent 

James Bradshaw. “I feel 

he is safe in the water with 

this camp and has learned a 

lot.”

From the Editor 

A special, creative corner of the Surfside 

Lauren Coughlin 


I 

distinctly remember 

the first time I really 

embraced poetry. 

Of course, there was 

Dr. Seuss, but my love for 

poetry played out in the toy 

store, where I was drawn 

to Beanie Babies. As an 

animal lover and a young 

bookworm, the stuffed toys 

were the ideal combination, 

as each came with a unique 

name and catchy poem to 

tell its story. I always chose 

my selection based on the 

best poems, which I would 

read aloud over and over. 

They were always 

simple, cute, four-line 

poems, but they somehow 

made the toys that much 

more personal to me, and 

my collection grew and 

grew as I pored over those 

poems. 

From there, I became 

obsessed with rhyming 

words, and I was even 

motivated to write my own 

poems. I was very young 

at this point, so the true 

poetic talent wasn’t quite 

there, but that creative inspiration 

never left me, and 

my writing and interest in 

literature of all kinds only 

grew from there. 

Poet’s Corner 

Earth, Wind and Fire 

Sara Barton, Malibu resident 

Whether saint or Satan, 

when Ana’s winds blow 

every droplet from houseplant 

and field grass and nostril and eye, 

the hiker’s path 

is more kin to steel than sand. 

Donning shades of brown, 

nature packs her green gown 

out of sight, 

and I am convinced 

that hothead sold it 

at her yard sale. 

Hope settles like dry mud 

under creek-bed rocks 

and we doubt 

that anything new 

still moves 

in drought’s cement. 

Either by 

God’s mysterious design 

In high school and college, 

I continued to write 

poetry. I even had my 

pieces published in a few 

literary journals, but I put 

my own poetry aside as life 

sped up. Somehow, I still 

haven’t found the time and 

the will to get back to it. 

Still, I’ve always admired 

the beautiful art of poetry, 

and I know there are many 

locals who pour their 

hearts into these beautiful 

pieces. 

I can only imagine what 

it would have been like to 

grow up with a Poet Laureate 

program in my own city, 

and that’s been an amazing 

thing to watch in Malibu. 

Over the past few weeks, 

we’ve also been on a roll 

with receiving poetry 

submissions, one of which 

or humanity’s 

dominion gone awry, 

earth cracks 

like a distorted mouth, 

begging for drip or drop of rain. 

Bad to worse, March’s mustard 

fuels October’s fire, 

and nature wears mourning attire. 

Fields charred black, 

at first glance, 

life dead. 

Yet, 

buried and unseen, 

smoke-activated seeds search, 

fire-galvanized buds root. 

Chaparral germinates, 

and Giant Sequoia incubates. 

And life, like God, illustrates 

resurrection

It’s been a beautiful thing to 

watch, as I wasn’t sure how 

many would be ready to 

share their work with their 

community, but it’s easy to 

see why they would want 

to. Each poem has been 

unique and inspiring, and 

I applaud those who have 

submitted thus far. 

Many of the writers have 

thanked me for publishing 

their pieces, but the thanks 

truly go to them. 

Our Poet’s Corner is always 

open to submissions, 

as is our Photo Op section. 

I’m thrilled to see that both 

sections continue to receive 

submissions, but we will 

always welcome more.

Art exhibit to showcase something old, something new 

Pop art from 

various decades 

to be displayed at 

Pepperdine 

Submitted by Pepperdine 

University 

The unique influence of 

pop art will be explored in 

“Pop! 50 Years of Art & 

Popular Culture” from the 

Frederick R. Weisman Art 

Foundation at Pepperdine 

University’s Frederick R. 

Weisman Museum of Art 

beginning Tuesday, Aug. 

28, until Sunday, Dec. 2. 

A special opening reception 

will be held from 2–4 

p.m. Sunday, Sept. 9. There 

is no admission charge, and 

the public is invited to attend. 

Featuring vintage examples 

of historic pop art, 

combined with work by 

younger artists, this exhibition 

features more than 

50 pieces, and looks at the 

varied ways contemporary 

art continues to reflect 

mass media and daily 

life. 

Ever since pop art first 

appeared, artists have 

drawn inspiration from 

popular culture. Over 

time, pop has proven to be 

a remarkably resilient and 

flexible style, renewing itself 

with each generation 

of young artists who look 

at the world around them 

with an alert and lively 

eye. The artists in this 

exhibition draw inspiration 

from a wide range of 

daily experiences, from 

comic books to television, 

from kitchen toasters to 

manhole covers. Including 

work by the pioneers 

of the movement as well 

as by newer talents, this 

exhibition reveals that the 

pop spirit is ever renewed 

in the eye of the beholder. 

“Andy Warhol created 

his first Campbell’s Soup 

Can paintings in 1962 — 

over 50 years ago,” said 

Michael Zakian, director 

of the Frederick R. Weisman 

Museum of Art. “Although 

the style is over 

half a century old, the imagery 

still strikes us as new 

and fresh.” 

This exhibition includes 

vintage examples of pop 

art by founders such as 

Claes Oldenburg and James 

Rosenquist, as well as 

works by younger artists 

who continue to comment 

on our everyday world. 

Highlights include Richard 

Artschwager’s whimsical 

“Exclamation Point,” Keith 

Haring’s explorations of 

graffiti art, and Yayoi Kusama’s 

famous polka dotted 

pumpkins, among other fascinating 

artworks. 

This exhibition was organized 

by Mrs. Billie Milam 

Weisman and is supported 

through the ongoing generosity 

of the Frederick R. 

“Pop! 50 Years of Art & Popular Culture” 

What: Explore this free exhibit showcasing new and 

vintage examples of pop art. 

When: Aug. 28–Dec. 2

Glimpses of glyphs and the glory of Malibu 

Restored Chumash 

pictographs, photos 

of city’s beauty 

displayed by Kozma 

Barbara Burke 


“My mission is to reveal 

beauty, of the land and 

ocean, the animals and the 

cultural landscape of ancient 

peoples,” Jazan Kozma 

said. 

Long before cars congested 

the Pacific Coast 

Highway, emitting noxious 

gases, before Surfrider was 

one of the most iconic surf 

points in the world, and 

before the internet’s cacophony 

incessantly spread 

news and often insipid rumors, 

the Santa Monica 

Mountains were untouched 

by human intervention. The 

tranquil Pacific and its creatures, 

aquatic plants and algae 

calmly existed, entirely 

unimpeded by humanity’s 

manipulations, and Malibu 

and its surroundings were 

inhabited by ancient civilizations 

that modern man 

can only attempt to comprehend. 

At an artist’s reception 

for “Keep it Wild! Malibu’s 

Mountains and Ocean,” an 

exhibit by photographer 

and Chumash pictograph 

illustrator Jazan Kozma 

at King Gillette Ranch on 

Aug. 5, attendees viewed 

innovative artistic explorations 

depicting the natural 

phenomena amid the 

mountains and the oceans. 

Kozma strives to document 

and celebrate the status 

quo of Malibu’s special 

environs, its creatures, features, 

flora and fauna. She 

uses her lens to preserve

“Each work is indescribably

John Melton said. “One 

feels as if each picture 

captures the essence of the 

subject and that the viewer

Kozma takes her time 

when she lines up a shot. 

Her captured image is designed 

to allow a viewer to 

feel like a part of the action 

of a fleeting moments forever

Jazan Kozma captured this photo of the Malibu Pier 

when Hurricane Marie hit in 2014. Photos by Jazan Kozma 

captures. 

When Hurricane Marie 

hit the Malibu Pier in 2014, 

Kozma was there, capturing 

a wipeout by a deathdefying 

surfer who lived to 

tell the tale but might not be 

able to recount it as colorfully 

as Kozma’s shot. In 

a 12-inch-by-12-inch image 

rendered on Moab Entrada 

Rag 290 bright paper, 

a viewer almost can hear 

the surfer shouting mid-air. 

Kozma also shows surfers 

hunkered below the Malibu 

Farm Pier Cafe, which also 

survived the onslaught. 

Moments in Malibu’s 

mountains mystify Kozma, 

who cherishes photographing 

the area’s natural features. 

The sea also beckons 

Kozma, who often manages 

to capture images of 

pelicans, cormorants and 

sea lions on the rocks of 

Point Dume. 

Kozma’s other fascination 

offers the piece de resistance 

of the exhibit. Two 

colorful, restored pictograph 

images of Chumash 

cave art beckon viewers. 

Kozma painstakingly restored 

the pigment on the 

“Birth of a Shaman” is Jazan Kozma’s restoration of a 

Chumash pictograph. 

Jazan Kozma’s “The Call” features California sea lions at 

Point Dume. 

panels from cave art she 

will only vaguely describe 

as “somewhere near Point 

Mugu.” 

One such work took her 

a full year — more than 

300 labor-intensive hours 

— to create. “Birth of a 

Shaman,” a 24-inch-by- 

24-inch piece depicting a 

Chumash shaman’s attire, 

demeanor and aura, emulates 

one of the panels that 

has survived best. Such 

rock paintings were sacred 

to the Chumash. 

The location of the original 

pictographs must remain 

secret so they are not 

defaced. Archeologists, 

paleontologists, geologists 

and historians struggle to 

preserve them. Kozma has 

painstakingly tried to depict 

their original vibrancy and 

hues, utilizing a digital res-

malibusurfsidenews.com LIFE & ARTS 


toration proprietary method 

that she also keeps secret. 

“Look carefully here,” 

Kozma told viewers. “This 

is the only glyph on the 

panel that illustrates a severed 

right hand. Our understanding 

is: at the last 

moment of battle, the victor 

took a relic similar to folklore 

about the victor taking 

a scalp. In this culture, they 

took a severed right hand. 

“Look yet closer here on 

the left. They believed that 

members of their nobility 

were spiritual and their 

hearts shot out as starlight. 

Look at the light emanating 

here that is akin to starlight.” 

Juxtaposed next to another 

of Kozma’s Chumash 

pictograph renditions from 

the Carrizo Plain is a photograph 

of a Chumash shaman 

from the 1870s. The 

image depicts the special 

jewels, headdress and accoutrement 

worn only by 

such men. 

The Chumash left some 

hints about their ancient 

society and ways, captured 

in the cave pictographs, 

but we are left 

to wonder what many of 

their images and symbols 

meant. Some of the rock 

art shows evidence of 

overpainting — newer images 

were placed atop the 

ancients’ original pictographs, 

a placard adjacent 

to the work informs. 

That is the essence of 

Kozma’s exhibition thesis: 

Man, always in a hurry 

and often not thinking long 

term, ought not paint over, 

pave over or overlook the 

beauty and essence of Malibu’s 

magnificence — and 

its history. 

The exhibit is to remain 

on display daily from 9 

a.m.-5 p.m. through Sept. 2.

The Dish 

Cuisine aplenty on offer at Malibu Farmers Market

23519 Civic Center 

Way, Malibu

net 

With a cornucopia of 

healthy, wholesome food 

for in-market dining, gourmet 

grab and go, and fresh 

farm-to-customer items, 

Malibu’s weekly Farmers 

Market delights. 

“The Farmers Market 

makes for a fabulous family 

outing,” said Samantha 

Freedman, of Malibu. 

“It has wonderful coconut 

smoothies, Ayurvedic items 

and amazing sizzling ginger 

completely-raw waffles 

that are outstanding and 

full of carrots and garbanzo 

beans. It’s all delicious.” 

Freedman’s 4-year-old 

son, Spector Freedman, 

agreed. 

“It’s all yum!” he said. 

As one enters the Cornucopia 

Foundation’s farmers 

market, held every Sunday 

from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., they 

see an aesthetic array of 

beautiful, bountiful booths 

offering fresh, hot cuisine. 

The market also features 

live music, a relaxing vibe 

and reasonably-priced sitdown 

dining options. 

It’s tough to choose what 

to eat. Cuisine options 

include Indian, Greek, 

Lebanese, Syrian, African, 

French, Mexican, Thai, 

and down-home American 

cuisine choices such as 

roast beef and fresh, grilled 

meats. There are vendors 

offering organic cuisine, 

as well as vegan and vegetarian 

options, and, to top 

it all off, there are dessert 

and bakery options. All the 

vendors cater as well, a fact 

that appeals to many customers. 

The market’s proprietor, 

the vivacious and indefatigable 

Debra Bianco, gave 

Malibu Surfside News a 

tour. 

“Try this, it’s lovely sundried 

tomato pesto, or try 

this grilled sausage that 

comes straight from the 

butcher; the owner tells 

the butcher how much fat 

to include in the meat and 

it’s custom-made for her,” 

Bianco said. “Try these salsas; 

they’re fresh and were 

made at 3 a.m. this morning. 

If you want something 

sweet, try the Grand Marnier 

crepes with a hint of 

orange.” 

Customers are delighted 

with the array of choices. 

“The Farmers Market 

offers delicious, hard-tofind 

choices, including 

offering a wide array of 

vegetarian foods,” said 

Sujana Kaushik, who, enjoyed 

some food with her 

7-year-old son, Ocean Godin. 

“It’s so great to find 

options from such different 

cuisines.” 

Ocean, clearly satiated, 

smiled broadly. 

“I like to eat the chocolate 

Nutella crepes,” he 

said. 

A medley of aromas — 

sweet, savory and spicy — 

blend with lovely music, 

the scent of fresh flowers 

and orchids, and an array of 

colorful cuisine. A visit to 

the farmers market makes 

for a perfect Malibu morning. 

“Take a look at the fresh 

A plate at the Malibu Farmers Market (front) features samosa, vegetable curry, chana masala, tofu tikki masala, aloo 

palak and lemon rice. Barbara Burke/22nd Century Media 

fish we offer as well,” Bianco 

said. “This is just-outof-the-sea 

halibut and black 

cod.” 

The farmers market offers 

unique food items 

such as tortillas made from 

baked cactus, pineapple 

jerky, honey infused with 

ginger and turmeric as 

well as other infusions, and 

crackers made from baked 

garbanzo beans, to name a 

few. 

The shopping experience 

at the market is not only 

tasty, but also fun and educational. 

For instance, one vendor 

offers sprouted nuts that 

have been brought from 

their acidic state to their 

alkaline state and thus are 

more easily digested. 

“Everything is great at 

this market,” Jeff Garrett 

said. “I love coming here 

for my post-yoga experience. 

They have wonderful 

items, including fresh 

Kombucha. Everyone is 

happy at this market and 

it’s a great little community.” 

Babies are welcome — 

and pampered — at the 

Malibu Farmers Market, 

with one vendor offering 

fresh, plant-based organic 

baby food. Malibu Surfside 

News tried it and queried 

what made it so tasty. It had 

delicious ingredients such 

as dragon fruit, pineapple, 

coconut, chia seeds, quinoa 

and wheat germ oil. 

Fresh produce abounds, 

with fresh eggs from a 

Malibu farm, just-picked 

vegetables and beautiful, 

ripe fruits. 

Malibu caterer Gina 

Clarke loves the market. 

“The Malibu Farmers 

Market offers herbs I 

would have to otherwise 

travel into Santa Monica 

or beyond to get,” she said. 

“They’re fresh and organic 

— it’s great.” 

Gourmet doggie delicacies 

are also featured, with 

many shoppers coming to 

the market just for those. 

Malibu’s Farmers Market 

is boutique in nature, 

offering creative cuisine 

and unique products. Bianco 

selects vendors that 

offer fresh, innovative and 

truly organic food items. 

For a fresh Farmers Café 

experience, a gourmet 

grab-and-go option, or to 

purchase fresh, selective 

produce, Malibu’s Farmers 

Market fits the bill. 

“We love it and we come 

each Sunday to try all the 

different foods,” Kaushik 

said. “It’s nice that the 

farmers market brings 

new flavor and culture to 

Malibu.”

Chris Megginson 


Team USA swimmer 

Jordan Wilimovsky won 

his first Pan Pacific Championships 

gold medal 

Thursday, Aug. 8, winning 

the 1,500-meter freestyle. 

The 24-year-old Malibu 

native claimed the top spot 

on the podium at the Tokyo 

Tatsumi International 

Swimming Center with 

a time of 14 minutes and 

46.93 seconds. 

The time was just shy 

of 2 seconds better than 

his winning time at last 

month’s Phillips 66 National 

Championships 

(14:48.89) and 1.9 seconds 

off his 2016 Olympic time 

of 14:45.03. 

“I was just excited to 

race,” Wilimovsky said 

in a statement from USA 

Swimming. “We got here 

Sunday night, and I’ve 

been getting ready for the 

1,500 and looking forward 

to it. The time was a little 

off what I wanted to go. 

I think I went out a little 

hard — a little rushed on 

the rate and spun a little 

bit. I’m always happy to 

try and get to the podium 

for the U.S.” 

In the 800 free, he 

finished with a time of 

7:45.19 for second place 

on Sunday, Aug. 12. 

The performances qualify 

Wilimovsky for the 

1,500 and 800 at the 2019 

FINA World Championships 

in South Korea. 

Wilimovsky’s gold was 

one of five gold medals 

won by the United States 

on Day 1 of the Pan Pacs, 

and one of 11 total golds. 

He also was to compete 

in the 10K open water 

swim Tuesday, Aug. 14, 

at Hojo Beach, but results 

were not available at press 

time. 

Year after year, thousands 

flock to the annual 

Nautica Malibu Triathlon 

in Malibu. 

Now, with the Sept. 15- 

16 event approaching, several 

competitors are gearing 

up through weekend 

swim clinics being offered 

to those who have met certain 

fundraising thresholds 

($350 for corporate team 

members or $500 for noncorporate 

team members). 

The clinics began on July 

28 and will continue each 

Saturday through Sept. 8 at 

Malibu’s Zuma Beach. 

The motivations for competing 

in the triathlon vary, 

but many enlist because 

of the event’s charitable 

component: supporting 

pediatric cancer research 

at Children’s Hospital Los 

Angeles. 

The cause is a personal 

one for many, including 

Billy Becerra, who is back 

for his second consecutive 

appearance at the Nautica 

Malibu Triathlon. 

“My son, Rex, was born 

with a heart defect and he 

had open heart surgery 

when he was one week 

old,” Becerra said as he 

emerged from a swim on 

Aug. 4. 

Rex ultimately died April 

4, 2017. However, that 

hasn’t stopped Becerra’s 

significant involvement in 

supporting the good works 

of Children’s Hospital Los 

Angeles. He said he has

raised $100,000 for medical 

research at the hospital, 

and he also seeks to raise 

both awareness of the lifesaving 

cancer research and 

clinical trials that Children’s 

Hospital conducts. 

“The Children’s Hospital 

is a place I wish that no 

one ever had to go to, but if 

you have the need for pediatric 

care, you can have the 

confidence that the doctors 

at the hospital are capable 

of doing amazing things,” 

Becerra said. “I saw a lot 

of kids walk in who never 

should have been able to 

walk out healthy, but due 

to the dedicated staff, they 

did, indeed, walk out. The

malibusurfsidenews.com SPORTS 


hospital is full of doctors 

and medical professionals 

who can do amazing 

things.” 

Becerra and others will 

practice weekly until the 

event arrives, and will continue 

to raise funds with the 

hope that children suffering 

from cancers and also babies 

like little Rex, whose 

name aptly means king, 

will one day reign above 

childhood illnesses that the 

hospital dedicates itself to 

overcoming. 

As the swimmers divided 

into groups based on experience, 

lifeguards and clinic 

coaches were at the ready 

to ensure that all participants 

were safe. 

Dan O’Rourke, a member 

of the Paramount Studios 

team, shared what motivated 

him to rouse himself 

in the early morning hours 

for a 7:30 a.m. swim clinic. 

“My parents were in a 

massive head-on collision 

and fortunately, my mom 

healed,” O’Rourke said. 

“One day, I was commiserating 

that I wasn’t in shape 

and my mom said, ‘Well, if 

I could heal from the accident 

and get in shape, why 

can’t you?’ 

“This event has gotten 

me in shape, even demystifying 

ocean swimming, 

all the while benefiting 

the Children’s Hospital research 

to conquer cancers.” 

Swimming in the Pacific 

on Zuma Beach is neither 

for the faint-hearted nor the 

ill-informed. 

Beginners gathered 

around triathlon trainer Katie 

Godec. 

“Swim as straight out as 

you can and get a quick feel 

for the water temperature,” 

Godec advised. “You will 

learn to time the waves as 

you go out. Duck dive and 

you can reach for the sand 

and even hold on to it. Keep 

ducking and you’ll surface 

with the wave behind you.” 

For the uninitiated, duck 

Swim clinic coach Konrad Ribeiro (middle) poses with expert swimmers Brett Stewart 

(left) and Dan O’Rourke. 

diving is a method a surfer 

uses to go under a wave to 

ensure they are not washed 

back toward the shore by 

the wave, but instead go 

under it and make progress 

in making their way out to 

sea. 

After successfully duck 

diving, Godec promised, 

there comes a moment of 

tranquility in the ocean and 

a little peace when one can 

catch their breath. 

“Lay on your back for 

a moment and enjoy,” she 

said. “You’re super buoyant 

in your wetsuit — it’s 

like you’re in the Dead Sea. 

Hang out and relax.” 

While Godec and others 

helped the newbies get 

their sea legs, other more 

experienced swimmers 

ventured way out to buoys 

positioned in the distance, 

swam like pros and went 

back in for more. 

Konrad Ribiero, an advanced 

clinic coach, noted 

the importance of participants 

coming as often as 

possible to the training 

clinics in order to fully prepare 

for the triathlon. 

“Zuma Beach can 

change from week to week 

and, as locals know, one 

day it can be like a lake, 

while other days it can 

have a lot of waves,” he 

said. “For instance, the recent 

large south wells have 

really chopped Zuma up 

and, further, the wind and 

tide can change dramatically 

even throughout one 

day, as can the temperatures. 

Therefore, it is best 

to get as much experience 

as possible to prepare for 

the various ocean conditions 

you might face on 

race day.” 

All participants emerged 

invigorated, resolved to improve 

their own personal 

times in preparation for the 

triathlon and to raise even 

more money to support pediatric 

cancer research. 

Key sponsors of the Malibu 

Triathlon include Bank 

of America and Merrill 

Lynch. 

“Bank of America has 

given $5 million in grants 

to the hospital over the last 

20 years and we’ve raised 

more than $1 million for 

the Children’s Hospital research,” 

said Nathan Crave, 

of Malibu, a Bank of America 

representative and happy 

clinic participant. “We 

strongly encourage our 

employees to give back to 

the community and be involved 

in such community 

efforts.” 

Thirty-two years on, 

Michael Epstein, founder 

of the Malibu Triathlon, is 

delighted at the event’s resiliency 

and success. 

“I am super proud that 

the triathlon has been going 

strong for so long,” he said. 

“I am amazed and excited at 

the energy the event still has. 

The money raised will further 

pediatric cancer research 

so that we can create the 

next benchmark treatments 

to cure cancers and, importantly, 

we are on the cusp of 

a whole new era in customized 

cancer medicines that 

target specific cancer cells in 

individual children.” 

The Olympic distance 

race will be on Sept. 15 and 

will include a 1.5K swim, a 

The expert group swims out into the deeper water as 

lifeguards look on. 

Participant Maria Arias listens to race coordinator 

Michael Epstein. 

40K bike race, and a 10K 

out-and-back run course 

along Zuma Beach, while 

the classic distance race, 

scheduled for Sept. 16, 

will feature a one-half mile 

ocean swim, 17-mile bike 

race and a four-mile run. 

Five to six new teams 

have signed on this year, 

including Amazon, ICM, 

Harbor Freight, Netflix, 

Amgen and Saban Films, 

to name a few, according 

to Epstein. To date, there 

are approximately 4,000 

entrants and there is still 

room for more participants 

to enroll. Donations are 

gratefully accepted as well.

10 Questions 

with Alexis Brown 

Alexis “Lexi” Brown is 

9 years old and in fourth 

grade. She swims freestyle, 

backstroke and breaststroke 

for the Malibu 

Seawolves and the Junior 

Lifeguards. 

What do you enjoy 

about swimming? 

I love being in the water. 

The Malibu Seawolves 

were your first 

experience on a swim 

team. What was it like 

when you first joined 

the team? 

I didn’t want to do swim 

team, but my mom asked, 

and I did it, and I really 

liked it. 

What about the Junior 

Lifeguards do you like? 

I just love the beach and 

the ocean, and I like swimming, 

as well. 

What made you 

want to take part in 

the Junior Lifeguard 

Regional Competition 

that you qualified for 

this past July? 

At the beginning, I didn’t, 

and then when I thought 

about it I really wanted to 

do it because I really like 

Junior Lifeguards. 

If you could have one 

superpower, what 

would it be? 

To breathe underwater. 

If you could have any 

animal as a pet what 

would it be? 

A dolphin. 

In what ways did 

coach Max Jaben help 

you become a better 

swimmer? 

He helped me become 

faster, and he taught me 

techniques that I didn’t 

know before. 

Is there anything 

specific you want to 

Photo submitted 

get better at next 

year? 

I want to become faster 

and a stronger swimmer. 

Do you have a favorite 

moment from last 

season? 

I won an award for Most 

Improved [through the Junior 

Lifeguard program], 

and when I did I was really 

happy. 

Did you get any good 

advice last year? 

Don’t give up. My mom 

said that.
