Pepperdine plants flags display for 12th consecutive year
Anastassia Kostin
Freelance Reporter
On Saturday, Sept. 7,
more than 200 volunteers
gathered to install hundreds
of flags at the corner
of Pacific Coast Highway
and Malibu Canyon Road
on Pepperdine’s campus.
This is the 12th year the
university has featured the
Waves of Flags installation,
with 2,977 full-size
flags commemorating the
lives lost in the 9/11 terror
attacks. The display
includes 2,887 American
flags and 90 international
flags representing the
home countries of victims
from abroad. The project
was started in 2008 by the
Pepperdine College Republicans.
“It’s been a long time
since Sept. 11, 2001, and
you start to realize our
students weren’t born or
were very young,” said
Doug Hurley, associate
dean of students. “But it’s
a chance for generations to
talk about what this meant
on that day for them and
pass on that legacy, and for
them to see the magnitude
of tragedy, walk through it
and just do their own reflection.”
For more than a decade,
Waves of Flags has been
a significant service project
for the Pepperdine and
Malibu communities as
part of Step Forward Day.
The annual day of service
gives students, alumni and
friends the opportunity to
embody Pepperdine’s mission
in their communities
through over 20 projects.
While it was initially
difficult to get the installation
approved, it now
receives national attention
every year.

photos, visit
malibusurfside

Editor’s Note:
The White Heart
Foundation’s annual
Ride to the Flags was
canceled this year. “As
we continue to devote
more and more time
to the ride’s original
mission of helping
our nation’s severely
injured veterans, we’re
faced with a harsh
reality: the lack of
man-power to manage
both the event and the
charity has pushed us
to our limits,” wrote
White Heart Foundation
Executive Director Ryan
Sawtelle in a statement.
“Every year we get
emails saying, ‘Hey, thank
you, my cousin, my brother,
my mom, my aunt died
on that day; thank you for
remembering,’” Hurley
said.
Three new Pepperdine
students who served in
the Air Force and Marine
Corps were given the opportunity
to place the first
flags.
“A lot of incoming students
weren’t even alive
for 9/11,” said Daniel
Ghattas, who served in
the Marine Corps for five
years. “I think it’s just important
that we drive home
the idea that it’s something
we don’t forget and
recognize the incredible
sacrifices that have come
from it.”
For Colby Parry, who
Pepperdine senior Alex Johnson (left) and Doug Hurley, associate dean of students, place flags on Pepperdine
University’s lawn on the afternoon of Saturday, Sept. 7. Dave Teel/Surfside News
served in the Marine Corps
for four years, the flags
serve as a reminder of what
makes America so strong.
“At the end of the day,
America is a country and
it’s the citizens and the
people in it that make it
great,” Parry said. “And by
doing this event with the
flags, I think it’s a constant
reminder that whatever
your religious background,
your sex, your race, we’re
all American. We can all
come together and work
together toward a common
goal.”
The fact that Pepperdine
does this kind of display
and has other installations
to honor those who live heroic
lives, such as the Heroes
Garden on the graduate
campus, was a selling
point for Ghattas in choosing
a school.
“Especially in today’s
climate, there are going to
be people that see you in
the military and immediately
have negative opinions
about that, which is
intimidating when you’re
going back to school,”
Ghattas said. “And Pepperdine
has always made
me feel incredibly welcome
with all the events
they do.”
Jennifer Bahn, who
served in the Air Force for
two years, added, “It helps
us feel like we’re also students
and part of the group
as a whole. As veterans,
we come from such different
backgrounds and it’s
hard for us to adjust, but
doing events like this bring
the whole community together.”
The Waves of Flag installation
aims to bring
the community together
and unite them around
what the flags represent,
but it also speaks to the
importance of tradition at
Pepperdine.
“We look at this as a celebration
of life, a celebration
of community, but it’s
also a sad and profoundly
powerful reminder of some
dark things,” said Matt Ebeling,
executive director of
alumni relations. “Being
able to come together as a
family and process through
all that together, I think is
just a neat opportunity.”
The Waves of Flags installation
is open for viewing
and visitation until
Sept. 25.

Hiker, 63, dies on Labor Day group hike in Malibu hills
Officials extract
eight others from
meetup group
Lauren Coughlin, Editor
Jeffrey Sherman, a
63-year-old from Thousand
Oaks, died Sept. 2, after
spending hours outdoors
while on an off-trail group
hike in the Santa Monica
Mountains.
The Los Angeles County
Department of Medical Examiner-Coroner
ruled the
death accidental, and found
two causes: cardiopulmonary
arrest and atherosclerotic
heart disease.
Sherman was the CEO
of Thousand Oaks Family
Well Being, and was a master
herbalist and biochemist
with advanced training in
herbs, vitamin therapy and
homeopathy, according to
the business’ website.
Officials received several
calls for aid beginning at
2:10 p.m. Sept. 2, and eight
additional hikers — who
also were part of the group
hike — were extracted by
helicopter from four different
cliffsides near Newton
Canyon and Zuma Edison
Road, in the Zuma Canyon
area, according to David
Katz, public information
officer and operations leader
for Malibu Search and
Rescue.
Officials as well as fellow
hikers attempted CPR
on Sherman, who was
eventually located by a
sheriff’s helicopter that was
airlifting another distressed
male hiker at the time. SAR
rescuers loaded a defibrillator
and other equipment
into the helicopter, got
flown as close to the location
as possible, and hiked
From sept. 3
roughly 300 yards to reach
him. Katz said the fellow
hikers — all four of whom
were extracted by helicopter
after rescuers determined
they did not know
how to get to the marked
trail — had been attempting
CPR for roughly 15
minutes prior to rescuers’
arrival, and Sherman was
unable to be revived.
Sherman’s official time
of death was 3:40 p.m., according
to Sarah Ardalani,
public information officer
for the Los Angeles County
Department of Medical Examiner-Coroner.
“When we originally got
the call, the report was that
the hiker was in distress
and confused, and then
of course given the [offtrail]
location of the hikers
it wasn’t something you
could get to quickly at all,
so time was a factor,” said
Katz, who said the man’s
death was heat-related.
LA County Fire Capt.
Rick Mullen, also a Malibu
City councilmember, acted
as the incident commander,
and credited Katz with securing
the “key thing” in the
rescue: a sheriff’s observation
helicopter when a fire
helicopter was not immediately
available. Based on
the information the rescuers
had, they were able to send
the helicopter to where they
believed the hikers were.
“These things can be complicated,
and they’re very
much dependent on if someone
has a cellphone signal,
coupled with if they can give
me any clues as to where
they are,” Mullen said.
The rescuers’ last extraction
for the incident, in fact,
was dependent on a cellphone
signal, after one man
who remained stranded
called officials. Mullen was
able to call the man, who
said the helicopter had just
flown over him. With some
back-and-forth, the rescuers
were ultimately able to
spot him.
Katz said the operation
“from start to finish, was
probably 3-plus hours.”
Four Search and Rescue
officials were in the field,
including Katz, and both
the LA County Fire Department
and LA County Sheriff’s
Department responded
by air. McCormick Ambulance
also was on scene.
“[Katz] and his team are
really wonderful and I can’t
say enough good things
about them and our great
synergistic relationship,”
Mullen said.
The hikers, who were
part of a VIP meetup hike
with Hiking with Dean, began
their trek at 9 a.m. and
were supposed to return to
the Newton Canyon trailhead
at 1 p.m.
Katz later learned that
the group’s leader led the
group off trail and into the
brush — “they were essentially
bushwhacking,” said
Katz — and several hikers
got separated after losing
sight of the leader.
Hiking With Dean advertised
the outing as a “strenuous
loop at around 8.5 miles
and about 2,800 [feet] total
ascent” along “one of our
secret trails,” which members
had not hiked since the
Woolsey Fire.
“It may be more overgrown
now than it was
when we first used it,” the
event page states.
Participants were urged
to bring at least 2 quarts of
water, as well as lunch and
snacks.
“All of them were out of
Malibu Search and Rescue, LA County Fire and the LA County Sheriff’s Department
responded to multiple distressed hiker calls on Labor Day after a group of hikers
became separated. Malibu Search and Rescue
water,” Katz said. “We supplied
them with our water,
which then put us at risk,
because it was unbelievably
hot and we then had to
have the helicopters bring
fluids in.”
Twenty-seven attendees
RSVPed to the Labor Day
hike. The hiking group has
been operating since 2007,
and has almost 10,000
members, according to its
website.
Mullen said his jurisdiction
does not tend to see
as many rescues as areas
like the Malibu Creek State
Park, where the rock pool
attracts explorers of various
backgrounds. In this
incident, he said, heat was
no doubt a factor.
“I think it’s just people
who are not that in shape
or used to arduous activity
going out when it’s really
hot,” Mullen said. “They
essentially bit off more
than they can chew.”
As of press time, Hiking
with Dean did not return
the Surfside’s email seeking
comment.
Last month, on Aug. 6,
72-year-old Pamela Vigil
died on a hike with friends
near Circle X Ranch. That
death also appeared to be
heat-related, and occurred
after the woman became
separated from the group,
according to the Ventura
County Sheriff’s Office.

Malibu CITY COUNCIL
Waste not: Council denies CCWTF seekers
Residents voice
concerns on
‘growth-inducing’
sewer expansion
Michele Willer-Allred
Freelance Reporter
The Malibu City Council
has denied the review of applications
from properties
looking to connect into the
Phase 2 update of the Civic
Center Wastewater Treatment
Facility.
During a meeting on Monday,
Sept. 9, the council also
voted 4-0 to proceed as originally
planned with the second
phase of the wastewater
treatment facility project.
Mayor Jefferson Wagner
recused himself from voting
MALIBU
because he owns property
that would have been affected
by the vote.
In November 2009, the
Regional Water Quality
Control Board approved a
resolution prohibiting the
use of septic systems in the
Malibu Civic Center area.
The State Water Resources
Control Board then
established certain dates by
which properties in the Civic
Center area were required
to cease discharge and that
a municipally-owned wastewater
treatment facility
should be constructed.
All properties in Phase 1
of the prohibition area successfully
connected to the
recently constructed and operational
facility by a boardmandated
date of Sept. 30,
2018. Also mandated was
AWARDS
presented by MALIBU SURFSIDE NEWS
that all properties within the
Phase 2 boundary be connected
by Nov. 5, 2024.
A third phase would be
completed by November
2028, depending on if the
water quality from the first
two phases did not improve
significantly.
On Aug. 12, the council
approved a professional
services agreement for
the engineering design of
Phase 2 of the wastewater
treatment facility.
Since then, the City has
been approached by property
owners in Phase 3 who
are interested in connecting
during the second phase,
those not currently in the
prohibition area, and property
owners in Phase 1 that
would like to add capacity
to their property in Phase 2.

Robert DuBoux, the
City’s public works director/city
engineer, said that
because of the potential land
use implications and limited
capacity of the facility, those
requests had to be carefully
considered by the City.
Sixteen applications from
property owners looking
to be added into Phase 2
were received by the June
30 deadline. Included were
many developed and undeveloped
single-family
residential-zoned properties,
as well as commercial
properties — one with a
proposed 7,200-square-foot
hotel — and other development
plans.
In total, the City received
requests for 69,673 gallons
per day, and the wastewater
treatment facility was
designed with a capacity
of 506,000 gallons per day
for all three phases. City
consultants and staff estimated
that the facility could
accommodate a total daily
capacity of 516,000 gallons.
Adding additional properties
would have required further
environmental review.
Several representatives of
property owners spoke on
behalf of their clients.
Residents speaking in opposition
had concerns that
the discretionary extension
of those requests would
only further residential expansion,
as well as commercial
development of
shopping centers, hotels and
other projects.
“It has been proven by
election after election that
the citizens of Malibu do
not welcome growth-inducing
expansion of sewers,”
Planning Commissioner
John Mazza wrote in a letter
to councilmembers.
Malibu resident Bruce
Round it up
A brief recap of action
taken at the Monday,
Sept. 9 meeting of the
Malibu City Council
• The council authorized
the city to enter into
a license agreement
with KBUU-FM Malibu
to utilize Malibu Bluffs
Park for an FM booster
station at no cost to the
City, pending required
permits. The booster
is expected to extend
the broadcast signal to
roughly 97 percent of
Malibu residences.
• The council adopted a
final ordinance prohibiting
electric rideshare
scooters from being
placed or operated in
the public right-of-way.
• The council adopted
a final ordinance and
Silverstein said that adding
the properties would “further
commercialize, further
suburbanize the city, and it’s
the mission and vision of
the City to not do that.”
Some residents questioned
if the consideration
of applications at this time
was planned as a favor to
developers by City officials.
City Manager Reva Feldman
countered that claim,
saying that the City actually
worked hard to prevent the
wastewater treatment facility
from even becoming a
reality, but ultimately had to
move forward with it.
“With that being said,
I’m extremely sensitive and
aware of the community’s
concern with what a sewer
system means to this community
about the potential
amended the zoning
map to add an affordable
housing overlay
district for three sites:
28517 PCH; 28401
PCH; and a portion of
23465 Civic Center
Way.
• The council adopted
an ordinance establishing
provisions to
restrict primary view
determinations within a
1,000-foot radius of the
Woolsey Fire affected
area and other disaster
areas.
• The council voted 4-1,
with Mullen dissenting,
to declare a climate

mobilization effort to

for growth and the implications
on land use,” Feldman
said, adding that City staff
had no opinion on the matter.
“We’re here to present
the facts in the capacity of
the facility and let the council
decide on anything that
has any land use implications,”
Feldman said.
“I don’t see in any of these
properties a compelling need
to deviate from this complicated
system that we set up,”
Councilmember Rick Mullen
said before his vote to reject
any further applications.
“I understand particularly
the homeowners why they
would want to connect to it,
but at the same time I don’t
think expanding capacity is
what we should be doing
right now,” added Councilmember
Mikke Pierson.

Public Safety Commission
Edison, City highlight Public Safety Power Shutoff protocol
Duenas says City
is prepared for
scenario
Michele Willer-Allred
Freelance Reporter
Southern California Edison
officials advised Malibu
residents that they have
not utilized a Public Safety
Power Shutoff in Malibu
yet, but it could happen in
the upcoming fire season.
As such, residents should
be prepared to be without
power for several days.
“We realize [a PSPS] is a
critical decision that we’re
going to make that will impact
a large community, and
we don’t take that decision
lightly,” said Rudy Gonzales,
government relations
manager for SCE.
Gonzales spoke at a Sept.
4 Public Safety Commission
meeting at which a report
was given about the City’s
preparations for a PSPS.
Susan Duenas, the City’s
public safety manager, said
the City is prepared, especially
with their communications
plan with the public.
PSPS is a tool that SCE and
other electric companies
utilize in high-risk fire areas
if the conditions show that
there would be a fire danger
to having the power grid
still going when winds can
knock down lines.
Gonzales said flag warnings
aren’t going to necessarily
activate a shutoff. Instead,
meteorologists have
been hired by SCE to monitor
weather conditions, and
fire officials are consulted
before a PSPS.
Gonzales said SCE is in
the process of installing upwards
of 850 weather stations

inspections identify over 250
noncompliant properties
Staff Report
The Los Angeles County
Fire and Agriculture departments
shared the latest
on their annual defensible
space program inspections
in Malibu and the greater
Santa Monica Mountains
at the Public Safety Commission’s
Sept. 3 meeting.
Inspections began June
1, and reports provided
by both departments show
a 95-percent compliance
rate as of Aug. 19, with
5,955 parcels identified,
5,694 parcels reported as
compliant, and 261 parcels
requiring attention.
so they can also have very
localized weather information.
They also are installing
160 high-definition
cameras for more visibility
of high fire risk areas. Gonzales
said SCE takes all that
information into account
when making a decision,
and will know several days
in advance if they need to
implement a PSPS.
They will notify the public
48 hours before it is
implemented, and again 24
hours before, he said.
“One of the considerations
we make before we
de-energize is what’s the
impact on the fire-fighting
capabilities,” said Gonzales.
Gonzales said that when a
PSPS is implemented, SCE
will de-energize switches
along a particular circuit
The program requires a
minimum of 100 feet of
clearance and up to 200
feet, if necessary, in extra
hazardous areas.
Both departments send
annual notices to property
owners with an initial
compliance date of June 1,
at which time inspections
begin. Non-compliant
properties are given a second
notice and if compliance
is still not reached,
procedures are started
for the county to clean
the parcel at the property
owner’s expense, plus additional
penalties assessed
on their property taxes.
inside a substation, so that
they can isolate only certain
areas. Each circuit serves
1,000 to 4,000 customers,
and cities have copies of
each circuit map.
Duenas added that SCE
will contact their customers,
and the City will send emergency
alerts directly to people
affected by the power
shutoff. Gonzales said that
communication companies
also are notified, so they can
take proper precautions in
terms of backup generators.
How long power is out
depends on various factors,
including the time it takes
for SCE to patrol the lines
and make sure it is safe.
Gonzales said it is very
important that Edison has
every resident’s contact information,
and that people

A sheriff’s department
report given at the Malibu
Public Safety Commission
meeting on Sept. 3 showed
that there were zero fatal
vehicle collisions, zero
pedestrians killed by vehicles,
and zero hit and
run fatalities this summer,
through the end of July.
For the year, two fatal
collisions have occurred
and one pedestrian was
killed by a vehicle prior to
this summer.
While presenting the
July report to the commission,
Lt. Jennifer Seetoo,
of the Malibu/Lost Hills
Sheriff’s Station, noted
that total traffic collisions
decreased 42 percent from
last year, and non-injury
collisions decreased 14.29
percent.
Total year-to-date traffic
citations did increase
to 18,571 — about 2,915
more than the previous
year. Officers also have
made six more DUI arrests
(21 this year as of
July) when compared to
the previous year-to-date
data, and issued 2,849

Malibu Planning Commission
Looming rain puts a rush on HRL slope repair project
Commission OKs
plan 4-0
Michele Willer-Allred
Freelance Reporter
The Malibu Planning
Commission gave the goahead
for a large failed
slope to be repaired and
restored on the HRL Laboratories
site before it has
the opportunity to damage
a main building constructed
in 1956 at the research facility.
At its Sept. 3 meeting,
the commission voted 4-0,
with Commissioner Chris
Marx absent, to approve an
administrative plan review
to allow for the repair of the
southwest-facing slope located
at 3011 Malibu Canyon
Road.
The APR would normally
be decided upon by Planning
Director Bonnie Blue.
The application, however,
requires a variance authorized
by the commission
because the slope repair requires
installation of retaining
walls on a slope steeper
than 2.5 to 1.
The project site is located
on a 65-acre parcel on the
north side of Malibu Canyon
Road. The property
is owned and operated by
HRL, which occupied the
property prior to the city’s
incorporation.
It is bordered by Pepperdine
University to the west,
Los Angeles County residentially
zoned parcels to
the north, and single-family
residences and Malibu Presbyterian
Church located
to the south across Malibu
Canyon Road.
The southwest portion of
the property where the slope
failure occurred contains
steep, descending slopes.
In 2007, a wildfire burned
the vegetation on the slope
south of the building. In
January 2016, the slope
failed and required all
sources of irrigation to be
turned off. Heavy rains followed,
and HRL ended up
placing waterproof plastic
and sandbags to mitigate
further erosion.
Associate Planner Raneika
Brooks said a geotechnical
consultant did some
testing and identified a leak
from a high-pressure line
which caused the slope to
fail.
The area of the slope repair
is approximately 2,965
square feet. Two retaining
walls six feet each in height
and 50 feet in length would
be supported by a total of
seven piles and include
draining improvements
such as concrete swells and
catch basins behind each
wall.
The project also would
include 1,700 cubic yards of
remedial grading, and 500
cubic yards of soil removal
and recompaction.
Five bollards also will
be installed adjacent to the
existing water line for increased
protection to prevent
the water line from
rupturing during slope repair.
A temporary access road
accessed at the base of the
hill also would be installed
for the slope repair.
Vladimir Levin, a civil
and structural engineer, said
HRL is aware of the extent
of the potential damage that
may occur to the property if
the hazard is not fully mitigated.
Levin said the head scar
on the failed slope is only
45 to 50 feet from the HRL
main building. He said that
any more slope failure may
undermine the building,
which has a shallow foundation.
Levin noted that the project
would take six to eight
months to complete. HRL
has less than two months
before the rainy season to
complete the project, which
is unrealistic, Levin said,
though HRL has a good
chance once the permit is
obtained to at least secure
a 12-inch diameter highpressure
line that runs parallel
to the building and
about five feet up from the
head scar.
“Maybe if time allows
[before the rainy season],
we can build one retaining
wall to secure the slope
because it’s too close to the
main building there,” he
said.
“Hopefully we can
get some stuff processed
through to get you guys
going, because you don’t
want that hillside coming
down,” Planning Chairman
Steve Uhring said prior to
the vote.
Planning Commissioner
John Mazza asked if the
project would impact traffic
on Malibu Road, but Levin
said it would not.
“Everything will be done
on the property there,”
Levin said.
HRL also agreed to a request
by Planning Commissioner
Kraig Hill that any
existing Environmentally
Sensitive Habitat Area impacted
to some degree by
the project will be restored.
Lease lapse drives SCE’s decision to vacate Bell property
Lauren Coughlin, Editor
Michele Willer-Allred
Freelance Reporter
On Aug. 19, the Malibu
Planning Commission approved
temporary use and
coastal development permits
that afforded Southern
California Edison the use of
the Bell property until the
end of 2019, or until their
local infrastructure work
was completed.
By the end of the week,
SCE, which has not completed
its work in Malibu,
had vacated the land.
Rudy Gonzales, government
relations manager at
SCE, told the Surfside that
the driving factor behind
their decision was the time
and expense to move material
and equipment out of
the yard for 18 days before
the new permit took effect.
“Our old permit expired
on Aug. 24 and our new
permit did not take effect till
Sept. 12,” Gonzales wrote
in an email to the Surfside.
“During this time we would
not have been allowed to
operate out of the yard.
Since we would likely be
complete with our existing
scope of work in Malibu
sometime in late October, it
didn’t make economic sense
to make two moves for that
short time frame.”
Planning Chairman Steve
Uhring said at the commission’s
Sept. 3 meeting that
he spoke with Gonzales,
“At least SCE was doing
something to help harden the city
in the face of the next fire. Whole
Foods was having a party.”
Steve Uhring — Malibu Planning Commission
chairman, on permit issuances
who told him the same reason.
Uhring questioned why
the Planning Department
was keeping SCE off the
property.
“The Planning Commission
basically thought that
keeping SCE on the property
and getting the repairs
done was sort of a health
and safety issue, [but] you
guys didn’t think so?”
Uhring asked Planning Director
Bonnie Blue.
“No, it’s not that at all,”
Blue said. “It’s that the code
requires that the decision by
the planning director be issued
24 days before the permit
is issued.”
Uhring questioned how
Whole Foods got a TUP
generated 48 hours before
an event for the grand opening
of the market.
“At least SCE was doing
something to help harden
the city in the face of the
next fire,” Uhring said.
“Whole Foods was having
a party.”
Planning Commissioner
John Mazza asked if the
resolutions the Planning
Commission set for the Bell
property must still be followed,
and if Bell or SCE
will still need to dig up all
the gravel that was placed
on the property.
Blue confirmed that the
Conditional Development
Permit runs with the land.
Blue noted that the project
was appealed to the Coastal
Commission on Sept. 3.
Meanwhile, SCE will
operate out of its Moorpark
construction yard and Thousand
Oaks service center,
Gonzales said.
“Our current scope of
work will likely be complete
at the end of October,
however, we have begun
additional inspections of
our facilities that will likely
result in additional work,”
he added.
Gonzales also said SCE
intended to restore the land.
“We are waiting for direction
from City staff on the
development of a restoration
plan,” he said.

Male mountain lion found dead on the 405
‘Coastal Cat’
crosses the 101
to leave the Santa
Monica Mountains
Lauren Coughlin, Editor
National Park Service
officials shared a mix of
good and bad news this
past week in regard to the
mountain lions in its study.
First, the bad. P-61, the
male mountain lion that
crossed the 405 Freeway
on July 19, was killed on
the same 10-lane freeway
around 4 a.m. Saturday,
Sept. 7, between Bel Air
Crest Road and the Sepulveda
Boulevard underpass,
NPS Ranger Ana Beatriz
stated in a Facebook post
later that day.
Researchers had hailed
P-61’s successful freeway
crossing in July as an opportunity
for scientists to
learn, as he was the first
GPS collared mountain lion
in NPS’ study to make that
particular trek.
“Researchers are not
sure why P-61 decided to
try and cross the 405 Freeway
again,” Beatriz wrote.
“Based on his GPS points,
he had been staying close
to the eastern edge of the
405 more recently. Over
the last few years, we and
others have gotten remote
camera photos of an uncollared
male mountain lion
that apparently lives in that
area. A negative encounter
between the two could have
caused P-61 to move back
west.”
The 405 has proven fatal
for several mountain lions
that have tried to cross it. A
young male, P-18, was hit
by a car in the same Sepulveda
Pass area in 2011 and
another uncollared male
lion was killed in 2009.
Meanwhile, a female
lion — whose entire home
range in the central Santa
Monica Mountains was
burned by the Woolsey Fire
— successfully traversed
the 101 Freeway and went
into the Simi Hills between
midnight and 2 a.m. on
Aug. 21.
On Sept. 4, the National
Park Service announced
that P-65 crossed the 101
Freeway and went into the
Simi Hills between midnight
and 2 a.m. on Aug.
21. NPS has given P-65 the

national park service
nickname “Coastal Cat”
for her inclination to stick
to the coastal areas west of
Las Virgenes Road.
“Researchers are not
sure exactly where she
crossed along the 101, but
GPS data indicates it was
in the Liberty Canyon area
of Agoura Hills where a
wildlife bridge has been
proposed,” a Facebook post
written by Beatriz states.
“She was not picked up on
any of our remote cameras
monitoring wildlife movement
through a culvert or
underpass in this area, so
biologists believe she most
likely ran across the actual
roadway. P-65 has stayed
up north and only crossed
the freeway once.”
Another female mountain
lion, P-33, followed a
similar path, though on the
far western end of the Santa
Monicas, when she crossed
the 101 in March 2015.
P-65 is now the second
radio-collared female in the
NPS study of mountain lions
to achieve this feat.
Liberty Canyon funding
update
On Aug. 28, the Wildlife
Conservation Board approved
a $390,000 grant
to restore and enhance the
Liberty Canyon wildlife
underpass, which was damaged
by the Woolsey Fire.
The grant is to be provided
to the Resource Conservation
District of the
Santa Monica Mountains
for a cooperative project
with Caltrans, the Santa
Monica Mountains Conservancy,
and the Mountains
and Recreation Conservation
Authority. According
to the board, the Woolsey
Fire completely destroyed
the reclaimed water irrigation
system installed for the
Liberty Canyon Wildlife
Crossing Project, approximately
80-90 percent of
the native plants that were
installed, and around 20
percent of the cobble and
boulders installed.
CWC highlights spike in shark-driven rescues
Rescuers aided
5 sea lions bit by
sharks this summer
Lauren Coughlin, Editor
During the month of
July, the California Wildlife
Center aided five sea
lions with injuries allegedly
inflicted by sharks —
a number on par with what
the center would typically
see in a full year, according
to a Sept. 4 blog post
by Mike Remski, marine
program manager at the
facility.
One of those incidents,
as previously reported in
the Surfside, occurred July
4 at Pirates Cove Beach,
on the west side of Point
Dume. The juvenile, female
sea lion appeared to
have been bitten by a great
white shark, and Heather
Henderson, CWC’s marine
mammal coordinator,
said the sea lion was
likely bitten en route
from the Channel Islands.
Though the sea lion was
responsive when rescuers
arrived, it was ultimately
euthanized.
“It’s important to understand
that the increase in
shark-bitten stranded sea
lions does not necessarily
reflect an increase in the
number of sharks present,”
the post states. “After all,
we are only able to count
the number of sea lions
that survive the attack and
make it to shore, while the
ones that die at sea and/or
become food, will not be
accounted for. Also, there
is no way to tell where
the attack occurred, since
a wounded sea lion can
swim many miles before
beaching.”
Remski further notes
that sea lions, seals and
fish are included in the
diets of great white and
mako sharks, but the increased
activity has rescuers
scratching their heads.
One possibility, Remski
writes, is that the non-lethal
bites may be caused
by young/inexperienced
sharks.
“Since July, these shark
bite occurrences have tapered
off, which is good
news for the rescue team
and it also seems to calm
the nerves of the general
public,” Remski wrote.
“But as long as you’re not
a sea lion, you really have
very little to worry about.”

SMMUSD Board of Education
Expanded Chromebook rollout penciled in for this month
Michele Willer-Allred
Freelance Reporter
Students and teachers in
the Santa Monica-Malibu
Unified School District can
expect new technology and
software this school year.
As part of the Digital
Learning Program, more
students will soon receive
Chromebooks.
Bertha Roman, the district’s
director of educational
services, gave a technology
services update to the
SMMUSD Board of Education
during the meeting on
Thursday, Sept. 5.
Last year, the district expanded
the use of Chromebooks
at all school sites, and
rolled out to different grade
levels at different times.
With earlier approval of a
$1 million allocation by the
board, Roman said the district
is planning to deploy
1-to-1 Chromebooks for
students in grades 9 and 11
by the end of September.
Another part of the district’s
program is professional
development for
staff, and the district is encouraging
and providing
stipends to staff to pursue
McDermott
certifications, such as the
Common Sense Educator
Certification and Google
certifications.
Two different softwares
— by GoGuardian and
Hapara — also are being
piloted in classrooms by 27
teachers this month.
Roman said the software
is being offered because
the district heard from staff
that they wanted the ability
to have more control of students’
Chromebook use. She
said this software allows
teachers to monitor what
students are doing with their
Chromebooks in the classroom,
and also allows for
more efficient learning.
Roman also noted that
the district has adopted the
Common Sense Education
curriculum, which she said
supports K-12 schools with
everything educators need
to empower the next generation
of digital citizens.
Roman said the district
encourages teachers to become
Common Sense educators
and utilize the free
Common Sense Digital
Citizenship curriculum.

One parent expressed displeasure
with the district’s

Ann Thanawalla, a Santa

“shocked and awed by the
amount of digital technology
that’s being forced upon
[her] child and other children
in all formats.”
Thanawalla also had concerns
that her family’s private
information is being
sold and used by outside
companies.
Board Member Oscar de
la Torre also questioned access
to students’ data, and
said students should understand
the possibility that
their data can be used to
market and promote. Contracts
with these companies,
he said, should include that
no data should be sold.

but I don’t think we’re
in that space in the world
right now,” Drati said.
Drati added that with every
organization that the
district goes through, there
is an understanding and
agreement that information
is not to be shared out to
anywhere else.
Board Member Jon Kean
said he wasn’t too concerned.
“I don’t have this Big
Brother attitude where I
think everyone is out to
steal my information and
profit off of me,” Kean said.
“I don’t love the fact that
everything is [online] … but
it’s the world that we’re in.
I don’t think we as a district
are going to slam the brakes
on technology.”
Board Member Ralph
Mechur said the board
should do whatever they can
to protect students’ information.
He said the district also
should be asking students
what digital tools are and
are not working for them.
Kimya Afshar, a Malibu
High School student and
board student representative,
said students love their
Chromebooks, which have
made learning a lot easier.
Afshar did say that while
working with the Chromebook
on a class project, she
was unable to access many
websites needed for the assignment.
She asked how
the district differentiates
between explicit and nonexplicit
websites, and how
that can be changed to accommodate
students.
Roman said the district
will need to gather feedback
from teachers as to
what websites are appropriate
for student use, and that
appropriate websites can be
unblocked by teachers on
command.
Roman said she was happy
to hear Google Classroom is
being used on Chromebooks
at Malibu schools.
“I know that last year after
the fires there was a big push
that all teachers in Malibu
Middle and High schools
have Google Classroom so
that they can communicate
with students,” said Roman,
adding that Santa Monica

to utilize Google Classroom.

could mean proactively removing

during public comment.
“So, all these wonderful
plans and ideas, why are
they being implemented
now after the fact?” she
asked. “Why not two years
ago? Why not last year?”
Duenas said preparation
efforts were going on in the
past, but people didn’t really
hear about it or pay attention
because it wasn’t top
of mind. She admitted that
there’s still a lot of work to
be done with regard to preparedness
and safety.
“I can work 24 hours a
day, 365 days a year, and I
still wouldn’t be able to do
everything that needs to be
done,” Duenas said. “That’s
why the volunteers and

LA County Fire water
rescue team deployed amid
Hurricane Dorian
A specially equipped,
highly trained 16-member
water rescue team
from Los Angeles County
Fire Department was deployed
Sept. 3 to Hurricane
Dorian.
The team, which was
given activation orders by
the Federal Emergency
Management Agency, is
part of California Task
Force 2 (CA-TF2), Urban
Search & Rescue who
traveled to the east coast
to assist with Hurricane
Dorian.
Six Urban Search and
Rescue Task Forces and
two California-based
US&R Water Rescue “Mission
Ready Packages” also
were sent.
One of those is the Los
Angeles County Fire Urban
Search & Rescue team,
known internationally as
USA-2. The team was to
deploy to the Bahamas with
57 personnel, four US&R
Canine Search, and an International
Medium US&R
equipment cache with additional
water rescue capabilities.
The Los Angeles County
Fire Department also was to
deploy a member of USA-2
to USAID Ops Center in
Washington, D.C., to serve
on the OFDA’s Response
Management Team in support
of the urban search and
rescue mission in the Bahamas.
During the hurricane
seasons of 2017 and 2018,
Cal OES supported the deployment
of all eight California-based

Don’t Panic, It’s Organic
The many recipes for organic fly control
Andy Lopez
Invisible Gardener
Contributing Columnist
Many horse owners
struggle with
organically controlling
flies.
The most crucial aspect
of natural fly control is
manure control. To me,
that means turning manure
into compost. Many cities
have issues with piles of
manure that attract flies and
also leak into rivers and the
ocean; this is understandable.
So, I will lightly cover
some of the basics of
natural fly control as well
as some compost basics.
Biological fly control
Biological fly control
is a simple method of
eliminating flies before
they become pests that can
spread diseases and become
a nuisance to you and your
horses. Since it is biological,
pesticides are not required.
These are harmless,
gnat-sized fly parasites and
are a natural enemy of flies.
They deposit eggs in the fly
pupa, destroying the fly in
its pupal stage. For best results,
follow instructions as
to how many and when to
release the parasites. I suggest
using Fly Eliminators,
available from arbico.com,
but there are many on the
market. Fly Eliminators are
used by horse and livestock
owners, and do not bother
horses, cattle, livestock,
pets or plants.
Manure control
Remove manure and treat
heavily urinated areas with
a garden grade or foodgrade
DE. Odor control will
help eliminate fly-breeding
habitats. EM-1, a microbial
spray, can used to reduce
and eradicate breeding
areas. The bacteria in EM-1
breaks down decaying
organic matter that attracts
adult flies.
SCD Barn Kleaner/SCD
ScentGuard works similarly
to EM-1. Barn Kleaner
can be applied directly
to manure to speed up
decomposition. Compost
waste, repair leaking water
and keep food storage dry.
The best manure control is
turning it into compost!
Maggot control
Use Beneficial Nematodes
near manure and
other breeding areas to
control maggots.
NemAttack are Beneficial
Nematodes which
parasitize a wide variety
of common pest insects,
including maggots. After
two weeks, noticeable
reductions in target pest
populations will occur and
therefore must be applied
regularly.
BalEnce Fly Spray can
be used to treat breeding
areas and stalls to kill maggots
as they develop. This
contains a beneficial fungus
used for insect control in
gardens, farms and livestock
settings.
Hister beetles are commonly
released in poultry
facilities for biological
fly control. Hister beetles
feed on fly eggs and larvae
(maggots). Both larvae
and adult hister beetles are
predatory. They are also
available from arbico.com.
Garden Grade or Food
Grade Diatomaceous Earth
is an effective abrasive that
works within 48 hours of
contact to kill soft-bodied
maggots. You can feed
your horses food-grade DE,
which will not hurt them
but will control flies in their
manure as well as help
them control any worms
they may have. Garden
Grade DE can be added to
water and sprayed on the
manure piles and around
the barn. It becomes effective
when it dries.
Adult fly control
Trapping adult flies and
spraying your animals is effective
in controlling adult
flies.
A solar fly trap, a longlasting
aluminum trap, attracts
and catches adult flies
with a yeast bait. Each trap
comes with one bait pack,
enough for five weeks.
Rinse the trap out and add
more bait to use it from
season to season.
Another option is the Insect-A-Peel
System, which
can be used in barns, fields,
gardens and greenhouses.
Yellow sticky tape can
be hung in barns, around
pastures and other areas
with large fly numbers. It is
sticky on both sides and can
be cut for spot treatment
uses. Add essential oils as
attractants for specific pest
insects.
ARBICO Organics Holistic
Fly Defense is an essential
oil-based insect repellent
for horses, livestock and
pets. Holistic Fly Defense
repels manure flies, biting
flies, mosquitoes and more.
Espree Aloe Herbal
Horse Spray — a nonirritating
repellent spray
that uses essential oils to
repel flies — is a favorite of
horse owners! Rinse off after
every third application.
Compost production
It is highly advisable
to turn all of your animal
manure into healthy, clean
compost.
You do this in stages.
First, make a mixture of
one part rock dust blend.
Try blending as many different
sources of rock that
you can get. The variety
will provide you with a balance
of minerals. Rock dust
also is a certain percentage
of Silica, which is what DE
is mostly. By adding this
blend, you also will be controlling
the flies as well as
providing the need for trace
minerals. Rock dust, when
added to manure, binds
the nutrients, 1/10 part of
the microbial blend. There
are many microbials in the
market — some made by
the various biodynamic
groups on the internet. The
more varied, the better.
Just Google biodynamic
formulas.
Compost production sources
Down to Earth (1-800-
234-5932) has all the rock
dust you will need. The
ones to get for this area are
azomite, gypsum, sulfate
of potash, calphos and rock
phosphate.
They also carry Bokashi,
which will help in the composting
process.
Blend the rock dust
in equal amounts. For
example, 50 pounds of each
blended, except for the
soft rock phosphate, which
should be used at half the
amount. So 25 pounds per
every 100 pounds of the
other rock dust. Follow instructions
as to the application
of the Bokashi.
Arbico (1-800-827-2847)
has EM-1 Microbial Inoculant
and SCD Probiotic Barn
Kleaner. Follow instructions
as to application rate. It can
be sprayed directly onto
the manure piles as well as
when first collected.
Biodynamic Association
(262-649-9212)
has compost preparations
#502,503,504,505
,506,507, and spray preparations
#500.
The Josephine Porter
Institute for Applied Biodynamics
(540-745-7030) is
another good source, as is
biodynamicsource.org and
Earth Legacy Agriculture
(earthlegacyagriculture.
com; 276-930-1377)

Ashley’s Angle
Malibu’s falling sky — a call to action
Ashley Hamilton
Contributing columnist
Malibu resident
As the days darken
and the nights
become darker,
as summer segues into
fall — and fall fades into
the winter of our discontent
— the sky foretells the
fate of much more than our
surfside community.
The sky is our fate, what
with its curtain of smog
and its veil of particulate,
turning the sunsets into
a shroud of gray; blocking
the light rather than
beautifying the land with
a burst of bold colors and
bright stars; deepening our
depression by depriving us
of natural light.
To see the light we must
learn the truth, that we
must stop the fast undoing
of the heavens and the
Earth. We must accept our
right to do right: to reverse
our descent into the past,
where the air is unbreathable,
the water undrinkable,
the ground unlivable.
We can avoid that scenario
if we join together
the lights of faith and
reason, with firmness in
the right as God gives us to
see the right, with confidence
in the rightness of
our cause as all may see
the evidence is right.
Do not, therefore, take my
word as gospel. Do not take
the Word as the sole reason
to do right, either, because
many agnostics and atheists
share our devotion, in spite
of their belief in a celestial
origin for a providential creation,
in spite of their faith
in a book, On the Origin of
Species, rather than their
rejection of the People of the
Book.
What divides us is
minor, in contrast to what
unites us. Faith is, after all,
meaningless without acts.
Acts of restoration. Acts

of conservation. Acts of
preservation.
Unless we act now, we
will lose our right to act
later — in the face of a
storm whose clouds continue
to gather, whose might
and fury will continue to
grow until the imminent
becomes inevitable.
Unless we acknowledge
the obvious, that we are
not prisoners to history but
participants in the writing
of it, that doom is not a
matter of destiny but an issue
of choice, that we have
the right to choose our
destination, be it a world of
shame or a shrine of glory;
unless we choose to avert
catastrophe, we will reap
the consequences of our
choice to do nothing.

I wonder about the arc of
human kindness.
I hope it does, arc, not
just plummet,
fatal, off a cliff.
Hundertwasser maintains
the straight line
is godless. That explains
how humanity
bends and strays, even as
I believe
a power invests each
moment,
a spontaneity to which,
in our curving
we may meet again, and
again.
Haven’t you?
But this is not easy.
It will not be kind.
Don’t look, away.
I find respite, kindness
here
at Chiriaco Summit,
three hours east of Los
Angeles,
where 92 degrees becomes
balm
beneath tamarisk and
palms,
where seven Mary’s
stand, palms clasped,
in an alcove, listening to
water burble,
praying for travellers.
“Do you know what kind
of tree
that is?” I ask, pointing
to what
may be a jacaranda tree.
“I don’t know,” he says.
“I don’t know about
trees.”
Is that what ails us?
We don’t know about
trees.
He looks to be a teen.
What does he know, or
dream
as he sweeps the patio?
What could these trees
tell him?
Hope is the Thing
Yesterday I opened the
newspaper.*
It was a front page photo
of a person of the forest,
a face between bars,
looking out.
I looked away, too late.
Curiosity bested me.
I turned to page 8, read
enough
to moan, and stop.
This is not . . .
is happening.
Forests cleared for palm
oil plantations.
Forests home to these
people of the forest.
Villagers tried to scare
her off,
this Mother with her
baby.
She wouldn’t leave.
There was no where to
go.
Her forest destroyed,
burned.
There was no where to
go.
She wouldn’t leave.
They shot at her, 74
pellets
lodging in her body, in
her eyes,
blinding her, lacerated
by spears,
bones broken. Still, she
wouldn’t leave.
Her forest, her home, her
food gone.
Then a teenager came,
an economic migrant,
and stole her baby, to
sell.
Now the mother, a Sumatran
orangutan,
sightless and caged,
lives, quarantined
with the Sumatran
Orangutan
Conservation Program.
There, where
other orphans whimper
and squeak,
where she hears them,
curling into
herself, on her absent
baby, and cries.
They named her Hope.
The father of the teen
accused
of taking her baby, asks,
“Is this a fair world in
which my son’s life
is worth less than an
orangutan’s?”
These migrants, come to
work
in palm oil plantations,
suffer, too.
No jobs. No future.
Is this a fair world?
I ask my 90-year-old
neighbor
what she sees for the
future.
“Disaster. I’m glad I
won’t be here to see it.”
But I am not 90. I must
listen, must find
a way to abide. Inside, I
scream,
“This is not happening.”
But it is.
So I listen, as the Xhosa
do in their rituals,
the whole village gathered,
listening
to the suffering, bearing
it together.
How else can we heal?
How else
lengthen the arc of kindness,
overcome blame?
We all perpetrate, become
victims.
All.
All have a stake on this
Earth.
Can we bear to look, be
generous enough
to forgive? Now I read
ingredients, refuse
to purchase chocolate or
lipstick

it is important to remember
and honor those who
lost their lives on that
tragic day. For some of
us, myself included, the
victims’ faces and names
are not ones we personally
knew, but that does not
lessen the pain and shock
our nation experienced on
9/11.
Many things in our world
have changed since that
day — some positive and
some negative, depending
on who you ask — but
that does not lessen the
importance of remembering
what occurred all these
years later.
By now, the university’s
picturesque display has
again caught the attention
We must not wait for the

its wrath unrelenting, its

must not be accomplices to

all the more reason for us to

promising a stronger event

Daniel Caplan
Daniel Adam Caplan, 40, passed away
peacefully on August 29, 2019 from a heart
condition. Daniel was raised in Malibu and
graduated in the first class of Malibu High
School. Following high school, Daniel went on to UC Santa Cruz.
He moved to Salt Lake City in 2009 and worked as a compliance
manager at E-Bay. Daniel was a kind and thoughtful man who made
friends easily and loved his family, people and pets. While growing
up in Malibu, he loved surfing. In Salt Lake City, he spent his free
time snowboarding Park City in the winter and hiking the trails in
the Wasatch Mountains in the spring and summer. Daniel is survived
by his mother, Linda, his sister, Carole Webb, her husband Dan Webb
and his nephews, Lucas and Benny. Daniel is pre-deceased by his
father, David. Daniel is also survived by his many aunts, uncles and
cousins who will miss his engaging smile and infectious personality
and sense of humor.
Introducing Malibu Pacific Church
Malibu Presbyterian
carries on under
new name

Madison Petrilli lead the University Ministries program
portion of the UM County Fair, held Aug. 27 at Malibu
Pacific Church (previously known as Malibu Presbyterian
Church). Photos by Jill Butta/University Ministries Intern
Malibu Presbyterian
Church has been a landmark
in Malibu since 1944
and its resilient congregation
has weathered many
a storm and fire over the
years.
The church was one of
the 21 structures destroyed
in the October 2007 fire
that roared through Malibu
Canyon. While the new,
streamlined, fire-resistant
church was being built,
the congregation’s parishioners
were hosted by
the Malibu Jewish Community
Center and Synagogue,
Malibu City Hall
and Webster Elementary
School. “Mal Pres,” as the
church is often colloquially
referred to, is a stalwart
member of Malibu’s faith
community.
Now, the congregation
is writing a new chapter in
its storied Malibu history
under a new name: Malibu
Pacific Church.
[The new name] denotes
that we are an open, welcoming
congregation, both
in Malibu and regionally,”
Senior Pastor Greg Hughes
said. “Further, Pacific
means peace.”
Although the church remains
affiliated with the
Presbyterian faith, Hughes
noted that the new name
“is more indicative of our
expansive outreach to all
in the community.” The
name change was officially
approved by the congregation
at its annual congregational
party on Aug. 23.
Malibu Pacific Church
sits on the hill overlooking
Pepperdine on Malibu
Canyon Road, its beautiful
decks providing an expansive
view of the sea. The
congregation continues
to welcome people of all
faiths and also will carry
on its tradition of hosting
events that welcome the
entire community.
Hughes noted that Malibu
Pacific Church will
continue its longstanding
tradition of serving Pepperdine
students through
its popular University
Ministries.
“Our congregation carries
on its tradition of serving
all ages and faiths,”
Hughes said.
The church has nursery
school and church preschool
programs, offerings
for youth, teens, parents
and older adults, as well
as community and international
humanitarian outreach
ministries.
On Aug. 27, University
Ministries, the college fellowship
and outreach program
of Malibu Pacific
Church, hosted roughly
100 students as it kicked

staff at Malibu Pacific
Church, planned the recent
event together.
off its 28th year with a
UM County Fair complete
with games, prizes, a petting
zoo, a mechanical
surfboard ride, and homecooked
fare. Attendees
came together for a message
and worship to conclude
the night.

‘Color in Bloom’ showcases Malibu sculptor’s new work
Barbara Burke
Freelance Reporter
His stainless steel and
patinated bronze and aluminum
sculptures are
featured worldwide in
public spaces and private
collections. One, a stainless
steel cross, even graces
Ground Zero, standing
tall over the site where
the Twin Towers fell to
terrorism.
Sculptor Jon Krawczyk
and his family, like
many other Malibuites,
suffered a great loss when
the Woolsey Fire destroyed
their Latigo Canyon
home and Krawczyk’s
art studio.
Grieving and grappling
with the loss and trauma,
Krawczyk, an avid naturalist
who raises bees and
grows flowers, reached
out to fans, asking them to
send him wildflower seeds.
He and his family spread
250 pounds of seeds on the
scorched and scarred landscape,
and the super bloom
that followed inspired him
to create the sculptures featured
in “Color in Bloom,”
an exhibit that premiered
at the Leslie Sacks Gallery
at Bergamot Station in
Santa Monica on Saturday,
Sept. 7.
A large crowd of admirers
attended the exhibit’s
opening reception.
“I never really used
color in my works before
the fire,” Krawczyk said.
“However, seeing the super
bloom motivated me
and made me unafraid to
use color so, because of
the fire, part of my artistic
process changed and I segued
from creating all stark,
monochromatic works to
‘Color in Bloom’
What: This art exhibition featuring vivid sculptures by
Malibu’s Jon Krawczyk opened on Saturday, Sept. 7,
and remains on display through Nov. 2.
Where: Leslie Sacks Gallery at the Bergamot Station
Arts Center, 2525 Michigan Avenue, Suite B6, Santa
Monica
Hours
10 a.m.-6 p.m. Tuesday-Friday; 11 a.m.-6 p.m.
Saturday

com.
throwing color in the process.”
Sometimes, as the old
adage says, change is
good and Krawczyk’s experience
with the fire has
imbued his large, geometric
silver sculptures
with intense, neon colors
that enhance angular,
geometric shapes. The
highly polished works jubilantly
celebrate victory
over adversity, resilience
overcoming grief, and optimism
overshadowing despair.
“The works in this exhibit
are clean and much
more vibrant than my earlier
works,” he said.
Simon Miles studiously
surveyed some of the
sculptures.
“I feel that they’re almost
deconstructed modern
pieces reminiscent of
Vegas glitz,” Miles said.
“Look, each piece has
extremely strong colors
like the hallmarks of Vegas
hotels, and they’re
joyous.”
Miles admired the works
in a room where large pieces
with fun and intriguing
names such as “Wonderland,”
and “Lime Time”
danced amidst others entitled
“Pero Azul” and
“Rocket,” their marriage
between stainless steel
and cobalt blue, pinks of
magenta and cerise hues,
chartreuse and riveting red
reflecting and bouncing
across one another.
Judy Bedrosian smiled
as she leaned in and enjoyed
the vibrancy, the
freedom and fluidity of the
works — emotive, yet introspective
and embracing
viewers in a nuanced narrative
celebrating survival
and revival.
“I love the angles; it’s
totally Jon,” Bedrosian
said. “He is so extremely
talented and I have several
of his pieces in my back
yard and enjoy them so
much.”
Hope. Color. Celebration.
Innovation.
Krawcyzk’s works
and his new use of color
serve to support his native
Malibu as it heals
and surges.

Staff Report
The Malibu coastline is a
familiar sight for artist Lori
Mills, who said she is out
just about daily painting the
local ocean and mountains.
Last month, her dedication
paid off, as her oil
painting “Malibu Coastline,”
which depicts Malibu’s
Westward Beach, won
Best in Show in the tradition
category of Fusion
Art’s fourth annual Waterscapes
international online
juried art exhibition.
The competition urged
2D and 3D artists alike to
enter their works featuring
any body of water, and, according
to Fusion Art, they
received 422 works from
artists in the U.S., Canada,
Hong Kong and beyond.
Mills, a plein air realism
fine oil painter, was trained
at the San Francisco Art Institute.
Fellow August winners
were William Nourse, of
Massachusetts, for his photograph
“The Gloaming,”
and Amelia Johannsen, of

Despite a third-set comeback
win, Pepperdine was
felled by the attack efforts
of Texas A&M on Saturday,
Sept. 7, in Firestone
Fieldhouse to close out the
final day of the Pepperdine
Tournament.
After trailing by two
with 25-17 and 25-19 set
losses, the Waves countered
with a 25-19 third set
win, but Pepperdine (3-3)
was unable to rally in the
fourth as the Aggies’ (4-2)
offensive efforts proved
too strong for a final 25-15
set score.
Shannon Scully and Rachel
Ahrens each marked
double-figure kills with 18
and 13, respectively.
The match and first set
started with a close backand-forth
output by both
sides, but Texas A&M had
the early edge off a 3-1
open and advanced it to
14-9 later in the set. Despite
six kills from Shannon
Scully in the set, the
Aggies were able to close
it down with a 25-17 set
win.
The Aggies came out
equally as strong in the
second set, amassing a
4-0 lead to open things up.
After establishing a 17-8
lead throughout the set,
the Waves started to battle
back, and kills from Kayleigh
Hames and Scully
and a block from Scully
and Tarah Wylie brought
the home team within six
at the 23-17 mark. TAMU
was able to pick up the
second set 25-19 win,
however.
Pepperdine more than
rallied in the third — the
Waves commanded the
set, taking the lead after a
7-7 tie fueled on a block
from Alli O’Harra and
Ahrens and three consecutive
kills by Wylie for the
18-10 advantage. The Aggies
pieced some points together
near the end of the
set, but Pepperdine came
right back, and back-toback
kills by Scully put
the Waves in a position to
close. Rachel Ahrens and
O’Harra would do just that
for the home team, as the
pair put a couple of kills
on the floor to close the set
with a 25-19 win and send
things to a fourth.
In the fourth set, despite
a 5-5 tie to open, the Aggies
came out swinging to take
over the lead and put the
Waves behind 18-10. Kills
from Hames and O’Harra
late in the set helped the
cause, but couldn’t help
Pepperdine rally enough,
as the opposition closed
the match with a 25-15 set
win for the four-set overall
victory.
MEN’S WATER POLO
Waves start season at
Triton Invitational
Pepperdine began its
season at the Triton Invitational,
hosted by UC San
Diego, on Saturday, Sept.
7. The Waves picked up a
12-7 win against Pomona-
Pitzer to start the tournament,
but fell 11-5 to UC
Santa Barbara in the second
game of the day.
Sophomore Balazs Kosa
led the way for the Waves
with a hat trick in the game
against Pomona.
The year’s first game got
off to a slow start, with each
team putting just a goal on
the board in the first quarter.
Kosa got the Waves’
first goal of the season to
secure a 1-1 tie at the end
of the first.
Kosa scored the Waves’
lone goal in the second
quarter as well, as the
teams went into halftime
locked at two goals apiece.
In the second half, the
Waves’ offense really got
going. Marko Asic and
Kaden Kaneko each scored
their first goals of the season,
and Kosa finished off
his hat trick in the third,
giving the Waves a 5-3 lead
heading into the final eight
minutes of play.
Pepperdine took off in
the fourth quarter, getting
seven goals from six players.
Curtis Jarvis led the
way with two goals late in
the final quarter. Kaneko
and Asic scored their second
goal each, while Sean
Ferrari, Michael Dakis and
Sean Thomas tallied a goal
apiece to secure the 12-7
win for the Waves.
In the second game of
the day, the Waves took on
the Gauchos of UC Santa
Barbara. The first quarter
was all UC Santa Barbara,
as they scored three unanswered
goals to start the
game before Mate Toth got
the Waves on the board.
After one quarter of play,
the Gauchos lead 4-1.
Asic started the second
quarter off hot for the
Waves, getting them within
two at the start of the quarter.
Coleman Carpenter got
the Waves to within one
before UCSB answered.
Austin Smit again got the
Waves to within one goal
near the end of the quarter.
The Gauchos scored two
unanswered goals to end
the half with a 7-4 lead.
In the third quarter, the
Gauchos kept the Waves
from scoring, and scored
twice more to take a 9-4
lead into the final quarter
of play. George Mooney
scored the Waves’ only
goal in the final period of
play.
WOMEN’S SOCCER
Cal Poly takes down
Pepperdine
Pepperdine’s first road
match of the season ended
in defeat.
Despite more than doubling
Cal Poly in shot attempts,
the host Mustangs
claimed a 2-1 victory Friday,
Sept. 6.
The Mustangs (1-3-1)
scored the game’s first two
goals before sophomore
forward Leyla McFarland
put the Waves on the board
in the 57th minute. But despite
advantages of 20-9 in
shots and 11-6 in shots on
goal, the Waves couldn’t
find the equalizer.
The Waves had their
opportunities. Freshman
midfielder Shelby Little
had a chance from close in
the 28th minute but had it
saved. Junior forward Joelle
Anderson put four of
her seven shots on goal. In
the 86th minute, the Waves
sent in a free kick and it
came out of a crowd and off
the crossbar.

Rabinowich climbs Mount Kilimanjaro, fulfills childhood dream
Michal Dwojak
Assistant Editor
Menachem Rabinowich
didn’t place any limits on
a dream he had as a young
child.
The Malibu High School
student and football player
had a dream to climb
Mount Kilimanjaro after
reading a book in eighth
grade. He was so motivated
after reading the book that
he started working toward
reaching his goal, raising
money for two years in
order to pay for all of the
travel and necessary expenses.
Rabinowich was prepared.
He trained for a year,
packed his bag and was
ready to go. But one thing
stopped him: his dad’s
permission. His dad didn’t
sign the permission form
in order for Rabinowich to
participate, taking away a
chance for him to reach his
dream.
But that didn’t stop Rabinowich.
He knew he wanted
to complete the climb
before he went off to college,
so this past summer
was his last chance, and he
wasn’t going to let it go.
He worked construction
for a summer, saving just
enough for the cheapest
seats to make the trip over
to Africa. His parents said
he could go if he worked
enough to raise the money,
so it was on him to make
his dream come true.
Rabinowich went
through a tough journey,
but it was all worth it when
he made it to the top.
“It was amazing,” Rabinowich
said. “Even on the
last day I had every symptom
of high-altitude sickness
except for blood. I was
sick, I was dizzy, I had my
guide next to me, watching
me of course. I got to the
point where you can’t turn
around because it’s dark
outside. ... I had to keep on
pushing to the top.”
Rabinowich’s trip included
three stops. He took a
bus trip and then flew to Kenya
followed by a bus trip
to Tanzania, where Mount
Kilimanjaro is located. He
met his guide and then met
his group the next day and
started the climb. He did the
shortest but most-difficult
route because of the limited
time he had and he climbed
in five days, rather than the
typical six.
The biggest difference
between his climb was he
didn’t do any of the acclimation
days others did.
Normally, travelers climb
a little higher and then go
back down to become acclimated
with the new altitude,
but Rabinowich continued
to climb.
“I would’ve liked to be
a lot more prepared than I
was,” Rabinowich said. “I
don’t think I was in the tiptop
shape I should’ve been
in, but I did football, I run, I
lift weight. I was always in
shape, but I should’ve done
a lot more. I wasn’t in training
mode.”
He continued to climb,
despite the different obstacles
he faced. He didn’t
turn around or give up on
his dream, so when he got
to the top, it was worth everything.
“I was completely exhausted,”
Rabinowich said.
“I wanted to turn around
and climb back into my
sleeping bag. I just had
the biggest rush of adrenaline
and joy for about 10
minutes. No matter how
Malibu High school student Menachem Rabinowich poses during a safari at the Maasai Mara National Park in Kenya
in August. photos submitted
exhausted I was, I was
jumping up and down and
hugging everyone.”
The Malibu student went
down the same day he got
to the top, but went on a
safari during his trip to get
the full experience. The trip
also opened his eyes to the
world and the different cultures
it has to offer. He met
people from France, Germany,
and different countries
in Asia, and learned
more about the world than
he expected.
Rabinowich continued
to work for a dream that
he had when a book inspired
him. He faced some
adversity, but won’t forget
the memories that he made
on this summer journey,
and the lessons he learned
about himself.

“I wanted to give up
at every turn, I was sick
from the altitude, I was
stumbling almost, I was
pushing,” Rabinowich
said. “When I got to the
top, it didn’t matter what
just happened, what I did
to get there — I was there.
I didn’t care about anything
else.
“I’ll always remember it.”

Interview by Assistant Editor
Michal Dwojak
Coach applauds
team’s defense in
22-8 victory
Ryan Flynn
Freelance Reporter
What a difference a week
makes.
Malibu (1-1) earned
its first win of the season
on Friday, Sept. 6, on the
road against Dymally High
School. The 22-8 victory
was the first of rookie head
coach Steven Hernandez’s
career.
“It feels great,” he said.
“We’ve still got a lot of
things to work on. Our defense
was the best I’ve seen
— after watching all kinds
of 8-man football — the
best that I’ve seen in a very,
very long time.”
Junior Braedin Taylor
was particularly effective
on the defensive side
of the ball, as Hernandez
deployed the speedy playmaker
all over the field.
“I’m taking him out to
dinner tonight for sure,”
Hernandez said.
Malibu jumped out to a
7-0 lead early on thanks to
a fumble recovery by senior
Marcus Berns, which he
returned for a touchdown.
After a Dymally score and
two-point conversion in
the second quarter, Malibu
scored on a Roenster Santizo
to Taylor touchdown
pass to go up 14-8. They
would never again relinquish
the lead.
The Malibu defense, Hernandez
said, played fantastic.
They were timing the
ball correctly and attacking
the snap. When he tried to
sub out several players, they
asked to remain in the game
and keep playing.

Sharks jump out to an early 7-0 lead during the team’s
Sept. 6 road matchup at Dymally High School in Los
Angeles. Surfside News File Photo
“They said ‘coach, I can
give you another seven
minutes,’ ‘I can give you
another eight minutes,’”
Hernandez said.
Neither team’s offense
looked great. Berns remains
a solid option in the
running game, but otherwise
things are a work in
progress. Dymally couldn’t
do anything offensively in
the second half, as Malibu
consistently turned them
over, stopped them short
and in one case tackled
their punter for a safety.
Windward awaits in two
weeks, a game that Malibu
will host on homecoming
night. Hernandez plans to
spend those two weeks almost
exclusively focused
on offense. His quarterback,
a freshman, remains
a little skittish and Hernandez
plans to get him used
to “hearing feet” and not
rushing his throws or altering
his form.
“If we get our offense
clicking the way I know we
can, we’ll be a problem,”
the coach said.
Until then, the Sharks
can enjoy their first win in
the Hernandez era.
“We’ll do a little celebrating
these next couple
days but after that it’s time
to get back and let’s get to
business,” Hernandez said.
