e Malibu/Lost Hills Sheri ’s Department has just appointed a new Malibu liaison to be a dedicated deputy for the city of Malibu. Sgt. Christopher Soderlund was recently introduced by City Manager Steve McClary to meet the Malibu City Council at their meeting March

27. e 15-year veteran of the Los Angeles Sheri ’s Department has been assigned the last three years to the Malibu/Lost Hills station. He was promoted to sergeant six years ago. Prior to his Malibu assignment, Soderlund worked in the Los Angeles County jail system in the custody division.

Sgt. Soderlund has been a patrol sergeant, the watch sergeant, and

the full-time watch commander for the past six months. And for the past three years, he has been working on the beach team as well.

Framed against a background of Covid and what many believe was a botched response with unnecessary lockdowns, lying about vaccines with limited efficacy, and denial of major side effects, the promise of the shining city on the hill seems to have lost its luster. The administration tells us all it is under control; just get your annual booster, but increasingly the concerns of nuclear confrontation and a major economic collapse hangs over us

like the sword of Damocles.

In ation is stuck around 6 percent. Except it's not. e ever-increasing cost of food and eating out is at least double, maybe triple. Not a big deal if you're retired and make 200K a year, but for a family with an average income this is devastating.

Even those living in Malibu — most with a substantial nest egg or already retired — have seen the value of their assets decline in the last two years as the consequences of President Biden's reckless spending spread through the economy. e stock market is down 20 percent, CDs and treasuries are up but lag far behind price increases, and the purchasing power of cash is at least ten percent less than one year ago. e City of Los Angeles' new "mansion" tax will take 5 percent of the sale price — not pro t — of your home $5-million dollars or over.

e FED especially seems to be in disarray, waiting too long to raise interest rates and then imposing historically rapid increases, only to get cold feet recently as their policies undermine regional banks like Silicon Valley and Signature. Apparently, those banks were the only ones unaware interest rates were increasing — unless they, like Sam Bankman-Fried with crypto, felt their political

Women’s Sports

Dear Editor,

I am writing in response to the recent controversy surrounding biological men participating in wom-

en’s sports. While I understand the importance of promoting equality and inclusion, allowing biological men to compete in women’s sports is not the solution.

e biological di erences between men and women cannot be ignored, and men typically have higher levels of strength, speed, and endurance compared to women. Allowing men to compete in women’s sports creates an unfair advantage, which ultimately undermines the achievements of female

athletes.

Furthermore, it is important to consider the safety of female athletes. Physical contact and collisions are inherent in many sports, and men competing against women can pose a serious risk of injury to female athletes.

I believe that we must nd ways to support and promote female athletes without compromising their safety and integrity of the sport. is can be achieved through initiatives such as increased funding

CERT training course starting April 13

The City of Malibu will be offering the next round of the

highly popular Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) training starting April 13 through May 25. The series of seven classes will be held on Thursday evenings from 6 to 9 p.m. in the Multipurpose Room at Malibu City Hall.

“Malibu is paradise, but we are vulnerable to all kinds of disasters, from wildfires to earthquakes and landslides, so it’s up to every one of us to be prepared to help ourselves, our families and our community,” Mayor Bruce Silverstein said in a press release. “CERT training is one of the best ways to prepare for wildfires and other disasters, and helps us be more resilient as individuals and as a community.”

CERT is a highly-acclaimed, nationwide program that empowers community members

to help themselves and their neighbors during disasters. Volunteers are trained in basic first aid, fire suppression, and search and rescue so that they can provide emergency assistance to their neighbors. Studies of past disasters such as earthquakes in Italy and Japan have shown that up to 90 percent of the people who were rescued from collapsed buildings were helped by local people before emergency services arrived because they were already on-site.

During the Woolsey Fire, Malibu CERT volunteers contributed about 300 hours of service to the emergency response by distributing food and medical supplies, conducting wellness checks, assisting with evacuations, and administering basic first aid.

OBITUARIES

Event planner extraordinaire, long-time Malibu resident, and much-loved friend to many, Carl A. Bendix, passed away peacefully on November 25, 2022, in Heredia, Costa Rica, surrounded by friends, family, and Bodhi, his beloved dog. He was 70 years old.

Carl was known for his uncanny ability to bring style and substance together in his special events, as he had the magical touch of a

I t is with great sadness that we share the news of Denise Gartland Novoselski’s passing on March 15, 2023, in Malibu, CA. Denise was born in Pasadena and grew up in Pacific Palisades, CA.

She was the daughter of James J Gartland (d.1980) and Betty F. Gartland (d. 2020).

wizard. Carl made his mark as an award-winning producer and designer, ranging from glittering lm premieres and events at Cannes Film Festival to the Academy Awards Governors Ball, the Governors’ Global Climate Summit, and e California Governor and First Lady’s Conference on Women to name a few.

For over three decades, Carl brought to life creative themes de-

She is survived by her siblings Patricia Gartland, James J. Gartland Jr, and Barbara Gartland. Also, her beloved six nieces and nephews and five grand nieces and nephews. Denise was married to Timothy Novoselski (d. 2013) for 35 years. They met as journalism majors at USC and worked side-by-side as the first-ever co-editors of the Daily Trojan.

Denise and Tim would continue to work together for many, many years. This included a move to Idaho in their early marriage, where they both worked at the local newspaper. This began their lifelong love affair with McCall, Idaho, and the many friends they made there. Eventually, they returned home to California and became co-publishers for Miramar Publishing Company, Denise’s family business.

Denise was always creating–writing, painting, and designing. Her love for jewelry design began with a collection of beads and metals collected in her many travels around the world and evolved into a successful business–a reflection of her inner spirit. “Denise James” jewelry was carried in many fine boutiques and acquired quite a following.

She loved the ocean, lakes, mountains, woods, and streams. She and Tim had a sprawling ranch in Idaho and a lovely home perched high above the Pacific Ocean in Malibu.

Important in her life were her and Tim’s beloved huskies-she was devoted to them and they to her. She was a wonderful sister, a loving aunt, an amazing friend, and a generous philanthropist to many causes. She will be missed by the many who knew her and whose lives she touched. A memorial celebration of her life will be held at a later date. Denise asks that a pebble or rock be thrown into a body of water in her honor.

ockledge was unfortunately destroyed by wildfire in , and MPA relocated first to Dan s as lores beach house, then to Tidepool, a former art studio/shell shop. Two years after Rockledge burned, Dan closed the business and relocated to Palm Springs and a lakeside cabin getaway at Big Bear Lake. is company, as early as the s, pioneered every other riday off and provided a chef-prepared lunch every day for everyone in the office. After lunch, activities included volleyball and swimming in the courtyard pool. Given his love of architecture; his impeccable, graceful style; and the gift of considerable patience, Dan was “uncommonly well-qualified” one of his favorite terms to renovate and rejuvenate homes, which he did lovingly and frequently. He was particularly adept at creating comfort and style in small spaces. Additionally, Dan was an unabashed lover of his pet cats and dogs and had an ardent appreciation of luxury and vintage cars (Bentleys), of which he owned many over the years. He will be remembered for his unique way of “walking with contained energy,” his playfulness, avid support for the uman ights Campaign C , appreciation of fine art, infamous shopping expeditions, and intuitive kindness towards all.

In 2017, the City Council adopted the official CERT Program Guidelines, an important step in formally incorporating the program and the trained CERT volunteers into the city’s Emergency Management System. In addition to basic CERT training, the city’s CERT Team members must also complete Federal Emergency Manager Agency (FEMA) trainings, serve at least 30 volunteer hours per year, attend regular meetings and drills, and become registered as disaster service workers.

Carl had a special place in his heart for the Special Olympics and Best Buddies, producing uplifting and proli c fundraising events for

both organizations as he strived to make a di erence with all that he did.

A generous friend, he cared deeply for his relationships, and whenever possible, he spread his wealth, abundance, and love for life to all he knew. He loved creating parties of any size, and indulging in great food, all while living life to the fullest. We will miss you. Rest in peace, dear friend.

Apply for Woosley Fire Rebuild Fee

waivers before June 30 deadline

e city continues to work to help Malibu residents rebuild homes destroyed in the devastating Woolsey Fire and urges homeowners to submit applications for rebuild fee waivers before the June 30 deadline. All required Planning Department applications for a project must be deemed complete by June 30. All required building permits must be pulled by Dec. 30. Fees will not be waived after December 30. e fee waivers cover all city planning and building permit fees for properties that are being rebuilt as a “like-for-like” or “like-for-like plus 10%” rebuild and were used as a primary residence by the property owner as of Nov. 8, 2018.

e City Council made Woolsey Fire rebuilding its top priority, after public safety, every year since the 2019-2020 budget, and has voted unanimously every year to extend the fee waivers, which now total $5.7 million in Woolsey Fire rebuild assistance. For more information and resources related to the fee waivers, and to submit an application, visit the Fee Waiver webpage at malibucity.org/958/ Fee-Waiver-Deadlines.

Malibu's voterapproved sales tax increase to support city services went into effect April 1

e City of Malibu’s voter-approved sales tax increase from 9.5 percent to 10 percent to support city services went into e ect for purchases in city limits on April 1. In the General Municipal Elections on Nov. 8, 2022, 52.53 percent of Malibu voters approved “Measure MC,” a ½-cent increase in the Transactions and Use (sales) Tax to support city services to the community. e measure required a simple majority to pass.

The official ballot question for Measure MC was “To sup

port such city services as public safety, crime and re prevention, addressing homelessness, keeping public areas safe and clean, preventing speeding and reckless driving, protecting coastal waters and beaches from pollution, preserving natural areas, supporting local businesses, and other general city services; shall a measure be adopted establishing a 1/2¢ transactions and use (sales) tax providing approximately $3,000,000 annually until ended by voters, requiring public spending disclosures and local control of funds?”

e Transactions and Use tax applies to goods, some services, and tangible personal property. It is applied with the purchase as an additional cost. ere are some cases where the sales tax would be applied to purchases made outside of the City of Malibu. For example, if a person living in Malibu purchases a vehicle outside of the city, this tax will apply, as it is based on the zip code of the residence where the car is registered.

Important limitations and accountability/transparency safeguards include the following:

• Basic necessities like groceries and prescription medications will not be taxed.

Funds generated by Measure MC will be used by the City of Malibu to provide general services for the community.

By law, the county and state cannot take the funds from Malibu.

• Mandatory financial audits and annual public reports will be conducted to ensure that the funds are spent properly.

For more information about how the tax increase will be carried out in Malibu, see the FAQs at malibucity.org

COMMUNITY SPTLIGHT

e number of vendors expanded from nine last year to over 15 this year, selling handcrafted items like carved wooden instruments, woven garments, backpacks, bracelets and satchels, leather goods, glassware, art, literature, silver, gold, and turquoise jewelry.

Food was supplied along the park’s service road with multiple food trucks and the usual Malibu Blu s Park was converted into a picnic area.

Among the educational booths was a booth for the Chumash Indian Museum and the National Park Service, Santa Monica Mountains Recreational Area.

Master of Ceremony Randolph Pico said Chumash Day is a beautiful, family-enriching event. He praised the city of Malibu for continuing to put on the event and continuing to preserve the tradition and culture of the Chumash.

He said the two-day event not only means a lot to the local tribe of Chumash, but the American Indians in and around the area. He estimated the event drew representatives from over 60 to 70 tribal nations, some traveling from as far as Texas, New Mexico, and Minnesota.

He explained the importance of the song and dance featured in the event.

“ e music is the heart and soul of the powwow, whether songs from the northern people or songs of the southern people, it represents the heartbeat of who we are,” Pico said. “ e dancing styles you see here are intertribal, these are many di erent tribes coming together and dancing these dances we all can do.”

Chumash and Fernandeño Tataviam Elder Dennis Garcia is a traditional Chumash dancer and explained that Chumash Day allows the unique opportunity to educate others about traditional Chumash culture.

“It’s an opportunity to share our culture, we participate in this social dancing," Garcia said. "A lot of our ceremonies are done in private but it’s a time to come and share our culture with other people in a social environment. is is how we share our culture, but also how we live our culture.”

He explained that it is special when the Chumash get to return and celebrate in their native Malibu, formally the Chumash village of Humaliwo, which translates to “where the waves crash loudly.”

He said the occasion not only lends itself to educating residents but allows for members of di erent tribes to meet one another and educate each other about their cultures as well.

“You see old friends, you make new friends; A lot of times this is the only time you get to see a certain person the whole year," Garcia said. "We get to come back and get reacquainted. Over the years we’ve met many, many people.”

Chumash and Fernandeño Tataviam Elder Beverley Folkes said the day is like a homecoming for the Chumash people.

“It gives them a sense of belonging," Folkes said. "It was once Chumash land of course so it’s like coming back to their land, their home base.”

She also said she’s happy to see the Chumash joined by so many di erent tribes and cultures where all are represented, made visible, and are celebrated.

“We have various tribes that join us here today that we are very grateful for. It builds camaraderie among all tribes,” Folkes said. “It’s a great way for us to get to know each other while getting away from the daily hustle and bustle of life.”

Salazar said Chumash Day is an important acknowledgement of his people, and helps preserve his culture and pass on education to neighbors and younger generations of Chumash people.

“It acknowledges that this is Chumash land, and that we are still here ghting for our culture to survive, our songs, our stories, our language to survive,” Salazar said.

e beautiful weather made for a successful weekend at Malibu Blu s Park for the Chumash people and the many other tribes represented in the festivities.

“We’re going to take credit for this beautiful weather; two weeks ago we were all worried that it would be raining but as you can see there’s not a cloud in the sky, it’s not too windy, our ancestors blessed us today,” Salazar said.

Folkes thanked the City of Malibu for hosting the event and their continued support of the Chumash people.

“ ey really support us and have supported us for 23 years. e park and recs do the brunt of work, they have to set up, dealing with the dancers and vendors, they deal with everything,” Folkes said, “ is would not be possible without them.”

treasures happens intermittently — not every day — but they’re obviously being left by an anonymous artist or artists for the taking.

“Other people have also found the rocks over the past months,” Jaeger said in an interview. After amassing quite a collection, she decided the “Zuma rocks” ought to be shared with the community.

REAL ESTATE

Last week, she took her found art collection to John Kozlowski, co- owner of Sea N' Soul surf shop in Zuma Plaza under Spruzzo’s restaurant.

“He happily agreed to showcase the rocks at his shop,” Jaeger said, and now anyone can stop in and see them on an acrylic tray at the corner of the co ee bar. She hopes that other people who have found Zuma rocks will entertain the idea of donating their nds to be displayed in the shop alongside hers.

Kozlowski, who lives in Malibu with

his wife Erica and two young sons, Sailor and Wylder, said he was sure his own sons would be delighted if they ever found these kinds of little art treasures at Zuma Beach. From his own experience, people are fascinated by all kinds of objects found at the beach — not only found art, but interesting items that wash up on shore, etc. He pointed out that one of the most popular items in his store is jewelry made from sea glass found on the beaches of Malibu, as well as little jars of sea glass.

the community, and the department.” It’s a direct contact he said for the community to the Sheri ’s station; a liaison for “the community to bring issues to.”

As the Malibu liaison, the sergeant said, “I can direct our deputies to take care of those issues and streamline the situation and the communication between the city and the department. I’m now dedicated fully to Malibu.” Before his promotion, Soderlund covered the entire area served by the Malibu/Lost Hills station, including Calabasas, Westlake Village, Agoura Hills and Hidden Hills.

“Now Malibu has my undivided attention so I can focus my entire work week on collaborating with the city,” he said.

Soderlund hit the ground running since his appointment just two weeks ago, attending a Malibu City Council meeting where he was o cially introduced. Expect to see the sergeant at Malibu Public Safety Commission meetings (still virtually conducted) and many other city functions.

One exciting event coming up is the ribbon-cutting ceremony April 22 for the new sheri ’s sub-station at the SMC Malibu campus. Soderlund sees this as a great new opportunity to engage with the community.

“For the longest time there was a substation here until about 25 years ago. en for years the deputies would have to deploy out of the station up at Lost Hills and drive down here (to Malibu),” he said. “It’s going to be a good opportunity to get the new substation up and running and streamline that and the community will be able to come into the front desk and talk to a deputy face-to-face and make a report there. ey don’t have to wait for a deputy to drive all the way down from the station up here. So, it’s going to be a good opportunity and interesting to implement that.”

Asked what he likes about working in Malibu Soderlund replied, “ e people there are very friendly. ey support us wholeheartedly. ey love the Sheri ’s Department and the feeling’s mutual. e deputies who work in Malibu are dedicated down there. And, obviously it’s the scenery. You get paid to drive around Paci c Coast Highway and see the ocean. For Malibu personally for me, I’ve been here three years now so I’m looking forward to the challenge in heading up the Malibu substation.” e new liaison has been married for nearly eight years to a nurse, and they have two young daughters. He described himself as an avid mountain biker who loves the outdoors and enjoying outside activities with his family.

“I’ve very excited,” he said. “It’s going to be a great opportunity, and I look forward to being out and about in the community and meeting everybody and working together to make sure that everyone’s safe and healthy.”

For those who need a refresher on what the Public Works Commission does, it make recommendations to City Council regarding capital projects, including roads and piers, management of solid waste, transportation, congestion, stormwater, landslide abatement, public utilities, and telecommunications.

“ e main thing I'd like to see with respect to Malibu Public Works is to gure out what outsiders are planning to do before they do it,” Maclay said in a phone interview. “I think we could have in uenced, for example, the $6 million construction project at the Pt. Dume headlands (with a brand new stairway to the beach) that already is a catastrophe for Malibu … State Parks has now created a huge demand for a nearly inaccessible beach with only eight parking spaces and no restroom facilities; and ignored promises to station a full-time ranger there.”

Maclay said he may have tried to steer the state to creating a path accessible to people parking on Westward Beach Road, which would allow them to walk through Big Dume Beach over to Little Dume Beach, even if only at low tide.

Otherwise, Maclay said he’s interested in the dewatering project going on at Big Rock, as well as “whatever construction project is going on” in town. “ ere are a lot of projects pending,” he noted. “ ere are a lot of projects being done by other agencies, and the city needs to track those better.”

In addition, he said there’s some talk about building a bridge near Spruzzo’s restaurant and deleting an open area there, which he wants to look at more closely.

“It would be a disaster if it ends up blocking

another road into Point Dume,” he said.

“[Public Works Director / City Engineer] Rob DuBoux has promised to help out by creating and maintaining a listing of projects that are in the planning stages by the state and county — at least that’s what I thought he said at our last meeting,” Maclay continued.

Maclay earned a B.S. and M.S. in mechanical engineering from the Ivy League school Cornell University, and later attended the Stanford University Executive Program. He served in the U.S. Navy on a destroyer out of Newport, Rhode Island, and was discharged at the rank of lieutenant. He has decades of high-level engineering experience under his belt.

He started o as a plant manager for Warren Wire Co./General Cable Corp. at a Te on-insulating facility in Goleta, just north of Santa Barbara. Maclay then went on to become a partner at Booz Allen & Hamilton, a top-level management and consulting company, with clients that included QANTAS Airline, Flying Tiger Lines, Bechtel Corp., and 40 to 50 other companies. He later formed his own company, Tel-Max Telecommunication, that installed computer and phone networks, including the rst one at the old Malibu City Hall (now torn down). e company completed over 5,000 projects. Maclay rst came to California in the early 1960s, has lived in Malibu since the mid-'60s, and has been active in Malibu politics both before and after cityhood. Over the years, he was co-chair of an Santa Monica-Malibu School District education committee, was involved with city building codes and permits, and a member of the Point Dume Community Association, Inc.

“ e thing I miss most is the camaraderie involved in working,” he said.

Grisanti just appointed Maclay as Public Works Commissioner on Feb. 13, and he’s attended two meetings so far. He was o cially welcomed at the March meeting, and his term goes until January 2025.

New academy for young soccer stars

By EMMANUEL

The future of Malibu youth soccer is bright as Views Football Club emerges to provide the city with the highest levels of competitive and developmental soccer for thriving young athletes.

Founded by Malibu resident Rodney Wallace, Views F.C. is a development academy and competitive youth soccer club that o ers year-round dedication to mentoring young soccer talents and helping them achieve their fullest potential. Wallace is a former professional soccer star who was a Major League Soccer champion in 2015 with the Portland Timbers and played for other MLS clubs such as DC United, New York City FC, and Sporting Kansas City.

He also represented his native Costa Rica at the international level for seven years, including the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia.

His mission, besides developing the talent of committed players, is to cultivate a love and appreciation for the game in the community and ultimately grow the game within the city.

“ e game gave me so much and now I want to give back to the game,” Wallace said. “Everything I loved about my journey, everything I wanted to have, everything I knew that would have made me better, I want to give straight to them.” e vision for Views F.C. began in the summer of 2022. Following a period of

decompression from soccer following his professional retirement, Wallace found himself in a position of mentorship for a local AYSO team, which featured the son of one of his friends.

Wallace was quickly impressed by the enthusiasm and skill level of the children

of this local U-10 team.

Following a disappointing rst game for this team, Wallace was inspired to create an identity for the team and began to encourage the team to believe in themselves, practice hard, and give it their all. He wanted to create a culture where the

children understood and appreciated the game rather than just playing the game without a plan to develop.

e team began to gain momentum and became a showcase for fundamental soccer and love for the game. e team took on the identity of the Malibu Timbers.

“We were getting better, the kids were tuned in and we’re getting used to each other as a group,” Wallace said. “ ey step on the eld the next game and they’re touching the ball even more, we’re winning games and we keep going and building. It’s

Malibu woman launches makeup company with a mission and purpose

From a young age, Malibu’s Arielle Ross was always helping others.

“It’s been important to me to give back,” the 2016 Malibu High School graduate said.

As a youth volunteer for the Hand in Hand program at the Malibu Jewish Center and Synagogue, Ross extended kindness to participants with learning disabilities and was always on the ready raising money to ght cancer and other causes.

“I learned through my parents and the community I grew up in how important giving back is,” she said. “If you’ve been given really good circumstances in this world, use your privilege to extend a hand and help others.”

Now at age 24, Ross has found another way to spread philanthropy through her passion for makeup.

“I have been a makeup artist since I was 15,” she said. “So, for about the last 10 years through my work I’ve been able to see the power of women and the transformational e ect that it has on women when they feel beautiful. ey walk di erently, they carry themselves di erently. ey present very di erently in the world when they feel beautiful. at’s always inspired me, but I’ve

always known that I wanted to be on the business side of the cosmetics industry rather than the artistry side because that’s where I felt like my expertise was and that’s what I studied in school.”

Ross attended Hult International Business School in London then graduated from Chapman University in 2020.

She said she learned in the multibil-

lion-dollar cosmetics industry, “there’s an opportunity to have a pro table company that also does a lot of good in this world. I don’t need 90 percent pro t margins. I can take a lot of those proceeds and do good with them. at’s how I structured this company.”

Her new makeup line is called Relevation,

becoming like ‘ e Mighty Ducks.’”

Even in disappointment after a tie or a close defeat, Wallace encouraged his team to practice resilience.

“ e kids were stoked, all these things were all new to them. ey had never experienced what it was to be losing to come back to tie against a good team and it felt like a win,” Wallace said. “I told them to feel that moment and record it. You now realize nothing is impossible and in real life you can overcome obstacles.”

Unfortunately for Wallace and the Malibu Timbers, the team fell short of winning the championship, losing in the semi nals. However, both the kids and Wallace were proud of what they had accomplished.

“I was understanding what it took to develop these kids. I found love for the lessons I was teaching them along the way, the things that they were learning, and how they were applying them to their lives,” Wallace said.

Wallace said the love his team developed for the game was inspiring. e young athletes now had favorite players, watched games in their free time, and desired to attend professional games. He said the kids fell in love with the game, enjoyed and followed the game just like he does.

Following the season, Wallace found further inspiration while on a diplomacy trip to Trinidad and Tobago. Wallace represented the United States in a program between the U.S. Embassy Port of Spain and the Can Bou Play Foundation.

ere he met children of all sorts of backgrounds, many of whom were experiencing hardships due to dangerous living environments.

He believed that soccer provided a positive outlet for children to develop themselves physically and mentally and o ered an alternative to violence and crime.

He said listening to the children’s stories and understanding their circumstances made him even more appreciative of what the game offers the youth in terms of positive growth.

“It was one of the most life-changing experiences of my life,” Wallace said. “If I hadn’t gone on that trip I don’t know if I would have really understood the meaning of service. e trip stripped me of everything I used to think was important.”

Wallace returned home with a new sense of purpose. He acknowledged that Malibu has so many resources, but still underserved the soccer community. He wanted to create a program that mirrored the Can Bou Play and o ered children the highest level of soccer development.

First, he wanted to address the

Burt’s Eye View: Irish Archers

PERSPECTIVE

By Burt Ross, Contributed Column

My mother, Rose Ross, was an intelligent woman.

Even though she only spoke Yiddish in her home until she went to school, she managed to skip two grades and graduated from Hunter College. She was well-read and taught school until she gave birth to her two sons. And yet, every once in a while, her education seemed to fail her.

Each year Mom would host our Passover seder, and our family was always more into the food and mischief than the ritual. ere were several youngsters attending this particular seder, and in my in nite wisdom, I decided to stack empty soda cans and gave each kid a toy bow and arrow with a rubber tip on the end of the arrow. Kids have a lot of energy and can only spend so much time looking for the matzoh.

Being a curious person, Mom asked me what this was all about, and that is when I turned highly creative. Since many in the family had

issue of insu cient playing space and bad eld conditions. He said the kids of Malibu deserve better playing conditions.

“All the elds, everything is limited. Everything’s tight, there’s no lights, when it rains we’re done. ere are changes to be made,” Wallace said. “ ey need an environment where they can actually develop. In one of the most beautiful and most prestigious places in the world, the kids can’t play anywhere. It doesn’t make sense.”

He hopes to open a state-of-theart indoor soccer and sports facility in Malibu, and has begun the process of obtaining land and support for a location.

Meanwhile, V.F.C. will be practicing and playing on donated land near Zuma Beach. e private location has a grass eld and small classroom-like buildings.

As the year closed and the AYSO season ended, the children of Malibu were left without a place to continue their soccer journeys. is is when Views F.C. was born. e academy and club was founded in January 2023.

e academy and club will expand on Wallace’s mission, and with the help of his wife, Haley, the two have grown a network of parents

who have committed to the mission of cultivating soccer talent and growing the game in the city.

Haley Wallace, who serves as Views F.C.’s creative director, said in a community with so much opportunity, the opportunity to play soccer should be at the forefront for families and children.

“

ere’s an outside world that they can go to. Parents have told us that this experience playing with Wallace has brought a whole new awareness to them. It gave them a bigger picture of development, brought them out of their shell and made them feel like ‘whoa, this feels good,’” Haley Wallace said.

Views F.C. will expand on Wallace’s coaching, as the academy now trains two U-10 boys teams, and will expand to ve teams by the fall, including a U-9 boys team, U-10 girls team, and U-12 girls team. e academy will soon begin league play, beginning in September, where players will begin playing and practicing regularly. e academy has also registered with US Club Soccer, a national organization and member of the United States Soccer Federation that works to develop and support soccer clubs in the United States.

e academy has partnered with

CURE Medical Club to provide medical care for its players. CURE Medical Director Dr. Lisa Benya said she is looking forward to the partnership and growing together in the future.

“Club CURE is excited to announce our collaboration with Views, who have shared common values in the local Malibu community by promoting wellness and physical activity,” Benya said.

Views F.C. also partnered with Soccer Resilience, an organization that specializes in training athletes on the mental side of the game. ey help transform mindset to elevate the performance and well-being of athletes, coaches, and parents.

Wallace explained that he does not wish to take away from any youth sports in Malibu, but instead hopes to o er more options. He wishes to grow interest in the game that he loves.

Registration is open for the Views F.C. Spring Break Camp from April 10-13, as well as registration for Soccer Summer Camps/Fridays at Zuma, Competitive Club Team and Spring Soccer Academy registration. Families can register at viewsfc.org/ register and follow @viewsfcmalibu on Instagram for updates.

married mates who were either all or part Irish, I explained to Mom that we were doing this archery game in honor of the Irish archers who saved the Jews when they were being chased by the Egyptians.

“You remember Mom when the Irish archers shot and killed many Egyptians who were in hot pursuit of the Jews before the Red Sea parted,” I explained.

Mom looked a bit quizzical, but she had sent her son to Harvard, so she must have assumed that all that expensive education must have produced a learned adult.

“I never knew that,” Mom accepted. I could not believe my mother had fallen for this sheer fantasy.

“Mom, Moses came thousands of years before the Irish, and the Irish did not travel to the Middle East, and….” Mom smiled as if a mystery had been solved. “Let’s eat,” she announced. And we did.

May you all enjoy the holidays!

Continued from B1 which held its launch March 16 in Malibu.

“Relevation is named after a real word, but it’s obsolete,” Ross explained. “It’s no longer used in the English language. It means to lift or to rise.” e premier product is a 10-shade palette that can be used on the eyes or face. e shades are multi-purpose. ey can be used as blush, contour, highlights, or all over.

“ e palette is completely clean,” she said. “We use no harsh chemicals or dyes. It’s industry clean standards.”

Ross categorized the product as “high performance, clean beauty” with longevity. e product and the packaging are all eco-friendly, recyclable and the shipping service o sets its carbon footprint.

“I’m trying to do everything in my power to not be part of the problem and be part of the solution,” she said. e palette is available at RelevationBeauty.com and soon in brick and mortar stores.

Most importantly for Ross’s company however is the idea of lifting women up through education and opportunities.

“We have a partnership with an organization called Speak Up for the Poor,” she said. “ e nonpro t works with young women and girls in Bangladesh and keeps them from being sold into sex work and child marriage because Bangladesh has the highest rate of child marriage in the entire world. ey keep the girls in school. Not only do they educate the girls and give them afterschool programs, curriculums, and help them on a career path, they also educate the men in their villages because if they’re not educating the men nothing changes.

“ is nonpro t does incredible work helping these girls stay in school and go after their dreams. So, a portion of our proceeds go to Speak Up and we also do a lot of joint initiatives.”

Launch party ticket sales and an auction went to bene t Speak Up. Nearly 2,000 girls have graduated from its Girls Education Program (GEP).

“ ey’ve sent some girls to college,” Ross added. Speak Up for the Poor is not a religious organization; it defends, educates, and empowers vulnerable girls regardless of their religious or cultural background.

“In 2023 more people are aware of their buying power and they want their hard-earned money to go to companies that actually do good in the world,” Ross said. “Not only do you get a beautiful product for yourself you’re investing in the education of women which to me is the most powerful thing you can do.”

The beneficiary under said Deed of Trust heretofore executed and delivered to the undersigned a written Declaration of Default and Demand for Sale, and a written Notice of Default and Election to Sell. The undersigned caused said Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the county where the real property is located. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 833-561-0243 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this Internet Web site WWW.SALES.BDFGROUP.COM for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case 00000007899602. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. NOTICE TO TENANT: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder”, you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call 833-561-0243, or visit this internet website WWW. SALES.BDFGROUP.COM using the file number assigned to this case 00000007899602 to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase.
