Advisory issued over
beach bacteria fears
SCOTT STEEPLETON, Editor
The public was being
urged earlier this week to
avoid beaches in Malibu and
elsewhere in Los Angeles
County over fears the runoff
from recent rains brought
bacteria and other hazards
flowing to the ocean.
Los Angeles County
Health Officer Dr. Muntu
Davis on Monday issued a
Beach Water Use Advisory
for all L.A. County beaches
through 7:30 a.m. Tuesday.
The advisory noted that
chemicals, debris, trash and
other public health hazards
from city streets and mountain
areas “are likely to contaminate
ocean waters at and
around discharging storm
drains, creeks and rivers after
a rainfall.”
Anyone entering the water
in these areas, the advisory
stated, could become ill.
If more rain falls, the advisory
could be reinstated. The
National Weather Service
says there’s a chance of rain
in the region again Nov. 12.
A wind advisory was also
in effect earlier this week
along the coasts of Los Angeles
and Ventura counties
and the Santa Monica Mountains,
where west winds 15
to 30 mph and gusts of 35 to
45 mph were expected.
Tree limbs could be
blown down, resulting in a
few power outages, according
to the National Weather
Service.
Anawalt’s Hardware &
Supply is a Choice honoree
Opened in August of
2011, Malibu Hardware
and Supply is the accomplishment
of fourth-generation
hardware store
owner Dave Anawalt,
whose family has owned
the Anawalt Lumber
stores since 1923.
Dave Anawalt moved to
Point Dume in the 1950s,
after his father, an avid
surfer, bought a property
overlooking his favorite
surf break.
“[Malibu Hardware]
has the best items of all
of our departments,”
Anawalt said.
There are 3,500 square
feet of indoor floor space
and all major departments
are represented
from paint to a full-service
garden center, power
and hand tools, lighting,
plumbing, automotive,
tools, and this year they
added a rental center.
Malibu borders the
ocean and contains large
portions of undeveloped
land so being ecologically
mindful was a huge
concern when stocking
the store. Environmentally
friendly alternatives
were included whenever
available, down to low
phosphate lawn food.
There are no poisonous
rodenticides in the store
and they offer organic
solutions for all your gardening
needs.
The store was even
physically built around
California sycamores
on the property, whose
trunks ramble through the
center of two rooms.
The reasoning behind
the opening wasn’t just
basic expansion; Malibu
residents have been aching
for a hardware store
ever since the Malibu
Lumberyard closed several
years ago.
Anawalt’s Malibu
Hardware & Supply is
proud to be your neighborhood
home improvement
store with everything
you need and
something you can’t live
without.
