Think of the final scene of Cinema Paradiso, where after many years away, the famous

movie director returns to the small Sicilian town that shaped him, and he sees all the characters who were part of that shaping — older faces, happy faces, crazy faces.

at was kind of the vibe of the nal day of Malibu Kitchen, which closed on Dec. 4, exactly 22 years after it opened.

Two decades of familiar, famous, and anonymous faces came by to say adieu and thanks for the

meatloaf, the bagels, the tsunamis of Peet’s co ee, and all the food, ’tude, Sinatra and atmosphere that owed from Malibu Kitchen going back to 2000.

Many, many faces, famous and anonymous, including 90-plusyear-old Jimmwy, a World War II veteran who got shrapnel in his knee during the invasion of Normandy. A regular at Lilly’s most of the week, Jimmy had a

regular corner at Malibu Kitchen on Sundays, where he would watch the world go by, listen to the Lambos rev, and re ect back on a long, long life.

Jay Leno showed face — as the Hawaiians say — and his face looked pretty good, considering he had been badly burned while working under a steam car in the middle of November.

Our Lady of Malibu School hosted its Christmas Boutique on Saturday, Dec. 3.

The event featured vendor tables, food trucks, a bake sale,

and photos with Santa.

e event ran from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., and concluded with the Christmas tree lighting ceremony with music and hot cocoa.

ere were a variety of di erent items sold at the event. Vendors sold clothing, jewelry, books, pottery, candles, plants, and salsa.

Twenty percent of all proceeds were donated to the Our Lady of Malibu school and church. e money will go into the annual

fund, which will help make renovations to the school’s upper eld and upper playground in the school’s kindergarten area.

Gina Longo, co-chair of the OLM Parent Guild, said she was grateful for everyone who contributed their time and money for a good cause, but said the event was really about creating community.

Over three weeks ago, on Nov. 14, a horri c fatal accident oc curred at the intersection of Pa ci c Coast Highway and Kanan Dume Road.

Malibu Kitchen

Dear Editor, Sorry to hear about Malibu Kitchen. I can see how 22 years of constant, chronic rudeness would be pretty exhausting.

Bob Yates, Point Dume

Post Mortem

Dear Editor, It is often difficult to know precisely what the results of an election mean because there are so many different reasons why people vote the way they do.

First and foremost, Doug Stew art and Marianne Riggins were elected because they are both decent, caring, competent peo ple who want to make Malibu a better place. They ran positive campaigns, made themselves ac cessible to the community, and have already served our City in different ways.

There were also other factors at play. I don’t think it is a stretch to say that the local election for City Council was partially a referendum on civility—some thing the majority of people in Malibu are hungering for and which has been in short supply in some quarters these past cou ple of years.

I don’t think any one issue played the dominant role in this campaign, nor do I believe that our mission statement was in any way rejected by the vot ers. From what I could gather from the campaign materials I saw, all the candidates should be congratulated on running a clean campaign addressing what they wanted to do for Malibu, not demonizing their opponents. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said of a dozen or so people on Nextdoor who tried to falsely accuse Doug of being a developer and Marianne of malfeasance.

I do not share the conclu sion that this was an especially

close election between the “slow growth” group and the “more pro-development” group, and that there was no mandate. Doug and Marianne and most of those who supported them are not re motely pro-development. Nor was this a close election. Doug, as of this writing (probably the final tally), had 2,206 votes, and he and Marianne had roughly 48 percent of the vote with six names on the ballot. Their next two closest opponents had a combined vote total of 37 per cent.

In April of 2014 Laura Rosen thal finished in first place with 1,561 votes, and in the Presi dential election of 2020 which generated a considerably larger voter turnout, Bruce Silverstein garnered 2,414 votes, not mate rially more than Doug got in an off year election.

Just as people on the national scene are tired of Trump’s name calling (even those who approve of his policies), most of us in Malibu are also tired of the in cessant personal attacks fre quently expressed on Nextdoor. A small minority of people dominate Nextdoor on occasion, but they do not begin to repre sent most of the people who live here and wish to use Nextdoor as it was intended—for neighbor to help neighbor. We have had enough of the name calling, false accusations without evidence, the constant questioning of people’s motivation simply because they might have a different opinion, and the endless trashing of vir tually all the people whom we elected over past years—people who tried their level best to serve Malibu.

I believe that all this negativ ity came back to hurt the very candidates a small band of sup porters were trying to help. Their attacks were counterproductive. Hans Laetz is correct when he says that Nextdoor, as used by some, lost. It is no coincidence that Doug, who ran on a “kind er” and “safer” platform, got by

I’ve known Kim Devore for over twenty- ve years, since she rst came to write for us at the Malibu Times. She was so much part of our lives and the life of the Malibu Times that it is di cult to think of her being gone.

Kim was easy to work with because she cared so much. Her’s was the world of show biz and its people, and she was our emissary to that world. It is a world she had practically been born into. Her Dad Sy Devore was the tailor to show biz royalty, and she grew up with Uncle Frank and Uncle Dean in her family kitchen. Kim was rst a print journalist, later an on-air TV journalist,

far the most votes, so civility did indeed win out.

Bruce Silverstein recently of fered to “bury the hatchet” and has committed to working coop eratively with his fellow mem bers of the Council, and his sup porters on Nextdoor have been virtually silent on Nextdoor since the election. This should all be welcome news to the vast ma jority of Malibuites who simply want a return to civility and a sense of community.

Burt Ross, Malibu

Malibu’s Unique Position

Dear Editor, Our City Council now has two new members, so it might be a good time to remind citizens of Malibu’s unique position. While we are an incorporated city with all of the issues that presents, we also have five other governmen tal or quasi-governmental orga nizations within our city limits that we do not control. Our main street (PCH) is owned by Caltrans. We have State Parks, County and State Beaches, and Santa Monica Mountains Con

and then back to print.

In the last few years, we all admired her pro fessionalism and courage as the disease took over her body and the simplest physical steps came progressively more di cult. But Kim never gave up. She kept writing right up to the end, even as her faculties were failing. She was a woman of remarkable courage to the very end.

We will all miss her.

servancy, all within or adjacent to our boundaries. We also have the California Coastal Commis sion with jurisdiction over many development issues in the City.

Malibu is one of 88 incorpo rated cities in LA County and one of 42 that contract with the County for many services, in cluding the sheriff’s, fire, and water departments. In the early days of our city, the relationships with many of these entities was often adversarial, and that has been repeated of late. There was a period where we developed working relationships with most of these agencies and could often resolve our differences.

Jefferson Wagner and I met one-on-one with every Coast al Commissioner to share the City’s concerns and hear their issues. Former Malibu Coun cilmember Lou LaMonte was president of the California Con tract Cities Association, which allowed us a much bigger voice with the County and the State. I also served on the Las Virgenes Malibu Council of Governments and the Southern California As sociation of Governments, both of which amplified issues of im portance to Malibu.

With the 2022 elections set tled, there are fresh faces at lo cal, County, and State levels that present an opportunity re-open the dialogue with those offices that have an impact on Mali bu. With Lindsey Horvath as the our new County supervisor, we have an individual who has served as mayor of a contract city and knows well the issues we face with the County services. Our new State Senator is Ben Allen, who has represented the neighboring coastal cities and is open to discussing Malibu issues. And Jacqui Irwin is now our as semblywoman. She has served as mayor of Thousand Oaks and is someone with whom we should open discussion.

Malibu does not exist in isola tion. Our issues are intertwined with these of a number of oth er government entities, and we would benefit from developing a rapport with them instead of denigrating and threatening law suits. I hope our City Council can begin to develop these im portant relationships.

Holiday safety tips

e City of Malibu sta and City Council wish everyone in the community a safe and happy holiday, lled with health, happiness, family, friendship and love. We are grateful to serve this community and work together to help protect Malibu’s beautiful natural surroundings and environment, and protect Malibu’s safety and community character.

As we head into the holidays, our Public Safety Team has some safety tips for the community. A Christmas tree can go from a delightful household holiday symbol to a potential starting point of a dangerous house re as it becomes dry and amma ble, so don’t wait too long to dispose of your holiday tree.

e city o ers free Christmas trees recycling Dec. 27 through Jan. 10, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. (closed Dec. 30 to Jan. 2) at the Chili Cook-off lot at 23575 Civic Center Way. For curbside col lection, remove all metal stands and decorations, and cut up the tree so that it ts into the yard waste bin. Check and re ll the tree’s water pan regularly. Keep holiday trees at least 3 feet away from any heat source. Make sure lighting cords are not worn out, check for broken bulbs, and do not overload electric outlets.

Decorative candles are the source of numerous house res every year. Keep candles safe ly away from any flammable materials, and do not leave them burning unattended.

Every year, many people are badly burned, and nearly 1,000 house res are started by the improper use of deep fryers to cook turkeys. Always use turkey fryers outdoors, on a at surface at least 10 feet from any struc tures. Keep children and pets away. Do not leave the fryer un attended. Use safety equipment such as hot mitts and keep a re extinguisher on hand. Make sure your turkey is completely defrosted before frying it. See more turkey fryer safety tips

from the US Fire Administra tion (usfa.fema.gov/downloads/ pdf/publications/turkey-fry er- re-safety-infographic.pdf).

Always ensure that the chim ney ue is open while using the replace to prevent smoke and carbon monoxide from ooding the house. Before starting a wood re in your replace, make sure it is approved for wood burning. Have your chimney inspected annually and cleaned if necessary.

Celebrate responsibly by designating drivers, or us ing taxis or rideshares.

Paci c Ballet Dance eatre to present ‘Joys of the Season’ at Pepperdine

By JIMY TALLAL Special to The Malibu Times

Another Christmas tradition is nally return ing to Malibu after the pandemic — the annual holiday dance and ballet performance at Pep perdine.

Under the direction of Director and Chore ographer Natasha Middleton, the Paci c Ballet Dance eatre (PBDT) will be giving two holi day dance performances at Pepperdine University on Dec. 10 and 11, under the auspices of the Lisa Smith Wengler Center for the Arts, at the Smothers eatre.

Instead of performing “ e Nutcracker” ballet in its entirety — which was the Pepperdine tra dition before the pandemic — PBDT decided to spice things up a bit with a show featuring selec tions from “ e Nutcracker,” “Les Patineurs ( e Skater’s Waltz)” and “ e Little Match Girl.”

“We’re very excited to be a part of the Malibu area by performing at Pepperdine for the rst time,” Natasha said in a phone interview. “We

were invited by a patron of Pepperdine and hope to work more with the university’s dance depart ment, although we’re just getting to know each other.”

“Joys of the Season” will present excerpts from “ e Nutcracker” that include the sugarplum fair ies, nutcracker prince, land of snow, land of sweets and the waltz of the owers. While Nutcracker and Skater’s Waltz will feature classic ballet style, “ e Little Match Girl” portion is choreographed by Middleton to be something di erent.

“ ere will be a touch of Old Irish and English dancing, with a lot of acrobatics and even some fusion hip-hop,” Middleton described. “ ere are a lot of di erent characters and very upbeat music. It’ll be a fun experience for the whole family.”

“Joys of the Season” is a two-hour show that includes an intermission. e production is a mul timedia presentation with backdrops and lm projections that show things like the growing of a Christmas tree and snow akes falling.

Paci c Ballet Dance eatre is a nonpro t organization with a school and a professional ballet company based out of Media City Dance in Burbank, where the rehearsal hall is located.

“We’ve performed many di erent ballets at many di erent venues, mostly in LA, but also around other parts of California like Fresno and Lancaster,” Middleton said. “We’re high-end en tertainers known for storytelling and bringing productions to people who wouldn’t normally

see a ballet… We want the audience to sit back and enjoy, and be engaged by the choreography.”

PBDT has 15 full-on dance company members that are soloists and principals, as well as seven apprentices — all of whom will be performing at Pepperdine, plus a couple of guest artists. e talented and diverse cast comes from around the U.S. and the world, including Japan, Mexico, Italy, Brazil, Armenia, and Brazil.

When asked what the dancers did during the pandemic and how they spend their time during the o -seasons, Middleton said they work as ac tors, dance instructors, models for dance attire, waiters, and even bankers.

Pepperdine lights up the Christmas tree

By SAMANTHA BRAVO Of The Malibu Times

Students, sta and community members gathered at Pepperdine University on Friday evening for the annual festive Christmas Tree lighting.

e Christmas Tree Lighting is an annual tradition where the Pepperdine community gathers for a time of worship and celebrating the birth of Christ. e program culminates in the lighting of the Christmas tree.

Malibu experienced a slight drizzle of rain and the event moved indoors to Elkins Auditorium for

the rst half of the ceremony. e ceremony included Christmas carols sung by Celebration Chapel and group Won By One, a prayer by Rachel Yoshimura, and a devotional by Eric Wilson.

Doug Hurley welcomed the guests to the ceremony and shared a message.

“Wherever you are this Christmas, we invite you into this space of worship and re ection,” Hurley said. “Of all the things that the lights, the trees, the food, and gifts represent, the Christian faith explains that Christmas means we are not alone.”

Hot cocoa, churros, and popcorn was served indoors and students and families gathered around the tree to take photos and enjoy the rest of the festivities.

‘No limits’: Malibu Arts Commission holds ‘Music Inspired Art’ exhibition

Music and art enthusiasts gathered at City Hall on Sunday evening

By SAMANTHA BRAVO Of The Malibu Times

Paintings, sculptures, and photographs once again lled the walls of City Hall for the Malibu Arts Commission exhibition “Music Inspired Art.” e gallery features ne art, three-dimensional work created by Malibu and non-Malibu artists inspired by music.

Contributing artists include: Irene Biery, Ra phaele Cohen-Bacry, Julie Ellerton, Kylie Epstein, Barbara Freund, Maureen Haldeman, Diane Hines, Ann Krasner, Lisa La Mer, Janet Milhomme, Luisa Millicent, Terry Porter, Eric Renard, Seda Saar, Ja nia Vanderwer , Russell Walks, and Shifra Wylder.

Malibu Arts Commission Vice Chair Fireball Tim Lawrence welcomed the guests at the gallery reception.

“I’m extremely grateful to be able to stand here in front of you, which not that long ago was just a vision in the commission and we had some extraor dinary artists and we’ve all been working very hard to make sure the shows are diverse that we include everything from painters, photographers, sculptures — there’s no limits,” Lawrence said. “ ere’s some

awareness and bringing people into Our Lady of Malibu as a school and a church. We’re a tight-knit family here and we want to make that family bigger,” Longo said. “We love creating a place where people can feel like a part of the community and that was really the point of today’s event.”

Steve Graham, a parent volunteer, said he is happy to see the community returning to in-person gathering and said it is an exciting time for the school and church.

“ is is only our second fundraiser [since COVID-19 pandemic] so I think that being able to do this again it’s an exciting time for the school to open its doors to the community again, welcome them to this environment, and experience OLM the way it’s been experienced for the last 50 years,” Graham said.

Krisha Garvey, owner of Golden State Beauty, was a vendor at the event. She attended the school as a child and said being able to contribute to the church was a rewarding experience.

“ e experience is so tender for me. is was my family, this school is my family,” Garvey said. “I remember I had everyone who I cared about and everyone who cared about me here in one place, so to come back and give back is the ultimate feeling of goodwill.”

Santa Claus made an appearance at the event, and said he had to visit OLM because he knows that Malibu is full of

things in there that might make you wonder, there’s some things that might make you scratch your head, but we really appreciate you all for being here.”

Malibu Mayor Paul Grisanti thanked the com mission for their hard work and for hosting the gallery.

“It keeps getting better and better,” Grisanti said. “Really I’m so pleased that we’re doing this and I’m so pleased that the City of Malibu has a department that supports this.”

Malibu artist Ann Krasner had two three-di mensional sculptures of Louis Armstrong and Ella Fitzgerald on display. Krasner said her sculptures were at Burning Man, an event held annually in Nevada that focuses on community, art, self-ex pression, and self-reliance.

“It’s just a natural progression for me to create something that brings so much joy to everyone,” Krasner said. “ ey were just at the Burning Man festival where they made a huge splash and now they’re here in the City of Malibu. e mayor and the creators did such a good job putting together local artists with their beautiful art.”

Some artists had a QR code near their artwork to take the viewer to their website or social media account when scanned with a phone.

Lawrence also thanked Malibu Arts Commis sioner Julia Holland.

Professional musicians Federico Ramos, Eduardo Del Signore, and Ron Wagner from A Call 2 Peace Core Ensemble provided a live performance during the reception.

e artwork will be on display from Dec. 5 until Jan. 13, 2023.

Christmas cheer in the community.

“ e event is great, the kids have been wonderful. I am leaving all the kids with one speci c request from Santa Claus and that’s to look for opportunities to be kind,” Santa said.

Stevie Simpson, 7, said she liked meeting Santa Claus. She said she asked Santa for an iPad and an Apple Pen for Christmas, and believes she will get it because she has been good this year.

Santa said he is evaluating things based on everyone’s contributions to the community and their ability to look for and nd opportunities to be kind.

“She seemed like an amazing young lady with a heart that’s pure and solid and I think she can probably count on getting the gift that she wants,” Santa said.

OUR LADY OF MALIBU

MALIBU ADAMSON HOUSE HOLIDAY FUNDRAISER

By SAMANTHA BRAVO Of The Malibu Times

On Wednesday, Nov. 9, a cougar attacked a small dog while it was being walked on a leash near the Hollywood Reservoir. Based on video footage and GPS tracking collar data, Santa Monica Mountains National Parks Service con rmed P-22 was the animal responsible for the attack.

“We understand an incident like this is upsetting and can possibly heighten people’s concern for the safety of their pets and themselves. We also want to express our sympathies to the dog owner,” Santa Monica Mountains National Parks Service shared on Instagram. “As many of you know, the NPS has been studying generations of mountain lions in this region, including P-22, for more than 20 years. While the California Deparment of Fish and Wildlife manages these animals in our state, we are committed to learning as much as we can about them through our scienti c research, with the goal of conserving mountain lions in the park. It is our man date to preserve all of the wildlife in the park for future generations.”

In terms of the incident, specialists said there is no evidence that preying on pets is related to an increased chance of an attack on a person, either in mountain lions, or in other urban carnivores such as coyotes. Specialists said mountain lion attacks on humans are exceedingly rare.

Mountain lions are typically more active during dusk and dawn and an hour after sunset, and the incident occured in full darkness.

While mountain lions largely avoid urban areas and are fearful of humans, they sometimes travel through residential areas near their preferred habitat. Accord ing to the video footage of the incident, P-22 did not attack the dog walker or show any aggressive behavior toward him.

e National Wildlife Federation California and a team of biologists and Cougar Conservancy members hosted a “Coexisting With Cougars” seminar on Mon day, Nov. 21, to educate residents on the recent mountain lion attacks.

Regional Executive Director of the National Wildlife Federation Beth Pratt led the seminar and introduced the group speakers.

“We don’t want incidents like that to happen, they are rare, it is never zero risk wildlife, these are wild animals,” Pratt said. “But like preventing crime, with wildlife we can also do things to minimize that risk and get it as close to zero as possible.”

Pratt said P–22 and other mountain lions that prey on animals are not abnormal as it resembles their nat ural prey.

“ ere was no sign of aggression towards the dog walker,” Pratt said. “ ere was no evidence that moun tain lions or coyotes or other wildlife when they do attack livestock or domestic animals that it signals any increased threat to humans.”

Most recently, on Friday, Dec. 2, a 2-year-old girl was attacked by a coyote in Woodland Hills. Her father, Ariel Eliyahuo, was able to run to her side and save her

from the coyote.

Eliyahuo said they wouldn’t expect to see coyotes in their neighborhood. Authorities said there were a few coyote sightings in the area Saturday night.

For the presentation, founder and Cougar Conser vancy Director Korinna Domingo, provided safety tips for recreationists and those who live in urban areas.

Domingo provided information on their cougar con ict task force and con ict prevention which conducts work on the ground to intervene, directly assist and empower local communities through training and ed ucation before and after cougar con ict occurs.

A family in the Santa Ana Mountains reached out for a con ict prevention visit for their 4-H animals after hearing incidents occurring with neighbors who own or house livestock.

“ e service really allows individuals the opportunity to be proactive as opposed to reactive to human-wildlife interactions,” Domingo said.

Cougar Conservancy o ers assistance programs in pen building, carcass disposal, and trail camera rental programs to reduce barriers.

Domingo said they also o er workshops to inform those on the basics of con ict theory and hands-on training sessions that focus on practical mitigation tools.

Regarding keeping your animals safe, Domingo said proo ng your barns and animal housing with walls, fences, and a roof at night is the best preventive measure to keep animals safe.

“ e main message when building an enclosure is that any gaps more than four inches need to be closed o ,” Domingo said.

Domingo suggested another way to reduce con icts

with predators is by trimming vegetation above the ground by 2 to 3 inches. Landscaping can reduce the areas where cougars and other wildlife can take refuge. Trimming hedges and reducing backyard clutter can also minimize wild re risk.

Securing trash and compost piles can also prevent the activity of wildlife. Cougars may not raid your trash bins, but unsecured trash and compost piles often attract rodents and predators that prey on them.

To report a cougar sighting, individuals can send vid eos to SAMO_mountainlions@nps.gov or call (805) 370-2317.

While hiking with friends or alone, Domingo provid ed tips on trail safety, such as staying on marked trails, hiking in groups, supervising children at all times, and considering carrying an air horn or bear spray.

Domingo provided tips on what to do when encoun tering a cougar, such as making yourself look as large as possible by extending your arms or opening your jacket. Domingo said if you are hiking with your pet, pick up small dogs, bring them as close as possible, and hold them rmly on a leash beside you.

Domingo wrapped up the presentation with more resources and information on the Cougar Conservancy organization.

“With mountain lions attacks are very very rare, in the last 100 years in California with 40 million peo ple, there had been 22 attacks with six that were fatal in California, we never want an attack to happen and those are people not just statistics, but what we just say is put the risk in perspective,” Pratt said. “Your chances of being attacked by a mountain lion are not zero but are very low.”

after the Woolsey Fire.

In the commendation read by Mayor Paul Grisanti, he mentioned Bruderlin’s establishment of an ac tive calendar of events, producing the Malibu Guide and revamping the Chamber’s website to increase each member’s presence.

“After the Woolsey Fire, Barba ra quickly organized the Rebuild Malibu mixer where homeowners who lost properties could connect with each other and contractors,” Grisanti stated. “ roughout the COVID-19 pandemic Barbara has been a valuable collaborator with the city to ensure local businesses were constantly updated with the latest information on how to comply with state and county protocol. She’s al ways made herself and the Chamber available to the city, working closely with city sta on numerous events including the Veterans Day ceremo ny. She’s dedicated to maintaining a strong relationship with the city. e

City Council commends Barbara Bruderlin for her years of dedicated service and her steadfast commit ment to maintaining and enriching the bond between the city and the Chamber.”

Councilmember Mikke Pierson added, “It was noticeable to me that when the Woolsey Fire hit and the pandemic hit, you took action. You didn’t sit around and wait for things to happen. You had meetings to help people who lost their homes, gathering people together to help each other. In the pandemic, you put out some of the best information I saw anywhere and helped out with grants to local businesses. You raised the bar. And then by joining the Pal isades recently, that was a brilliant maneuver because it’s really hard to run small chambers. at was a smart move. I applaud you and thank you for all you’ve done.”

Speaking by phone, Bruderlin said she was surprised and grateful for the commendation. As the Cham ber’s only employee, she pointed out that “people think the Chamber is

a government organization. It’s not. It’s a nonpro t organization. We run because a bunch of people volunteer their time. It’s just people helping people.” She mentioned she just got some help from Pepperdine students and also that the Chamber is not subsidized by the government.

Bruderlin is a big advocate for networking.

“Some people don’t understand why we have get-togethers,” she said. “What happens is that instead of just a business, you get to know and fall in love with the owner. It becomes like a big family and warm and people working together. It be comes like an old-fashioned com munity.”

e CEO has increased the web presence for all members of the Chamber. “It gives them more visi bility,” she said.

According to Bruderlin, this is important in small towns with high rents and seasonal visitors.

“You need a group promoting, advocating and advertising for ev erybody,” she said. “ is creates ex citement and support when people are struggling to get o the ground.”

During the Woolsey Fire, Brud erlin was active in disseminating in formation on Facebook. She along with the Malibu Public Safety Department are about to launch a program called Malibu HEART. It stands for Health Emergency Assis tance Relay Team.

“If we have an emergency again I can have a support team on hand through Facebook helping people, direct them, working with the re department and rescue teams be cause when there’s an emergency people go to Facebook where you can get into local groups,” she said.

“ at’s what I can o er to the mix.”

On her dedication to the commu nity Bruderlin explained: “I love the people in Malibu so much. ey’re so a ectionate, down-to-earth and

reball. All of this happened in about three seconds.

e motorcyclist and the driver of the pickup survived the ery crash, but the stolen Lexus driver did not.

Motorcyclist Stephen Levey was airlifted to Cedars-Sinai Hospital, where he remained for 11 days before being released to his home in Hollywood. He has no memory of the collision, but later learned that the re and sheri department personnel on the scene were doubtful he was going to make it.

Levey, interviewed by various local TV news sources, stated that his right arm had been shattered from the elbow to the ngers and had to be surgically reconstructed. He had nine broken ribs, one of which punctured a lung; which makes it very painful to cough, or even to eat and drink. He also had an injured right leg and foot.

“I now have a substantial amount of titanium holding me together,” he commented.

While hospitalized, Stephen

considerate. ey think about every body before themselves. I see them lled with joy at somebody else’s gain. For being lled with people

who like the ner things in life that’s not their rst priority. Malibu’s all about others; loving people and helping the world. It’s an amaz

ing group of people here. It doesn’t matter how much money you have or where you live there’s a theme of a ection for others in Malibu.”

recalled that he had his phone on to record the ride on the day of the accident, and asked the nurses to bring it to him. He then dis covered the entire accident had been recorded — a heart-stopping video that’s now been shown and viewed over and over again in LA and around the world.

Stephen hired personal injury trial attorney Brian Breiter, who appeared on several local TV newscasts asking for any witnesses or anyone with information about the driver of the Lexus to contact his o ce at brian@lawbreiter.com

“Any information would be helpful in trying to put this puzzle together,” Breiter said on camera. “ e driver either escaped from a rehab [facility] or was let out early; and we’re still trying to get to the bottom of that … Stephen is look ing at a lifetime of debt for an ac cident he had nothing to do with.”

Earlier, the LA County Sher i ’s Department had con rmed that the Lexus was stolen from a Malibu rehab facility.

Breiter emailed The Malibu Times that no questions about the Lexus driver or the rehab could be answered until the Sheri ’s

Department completes its tra c investigation and report on the incident.

In the meantime, Stephen, who lives alone, was struggling at home with the e ort of even trying to feed himself or perform the simplest tasks. A professional photographer, he is now unable to work and has no money coming in. As his medical bills mounted, he felt he had no choice but to try raising money through Go FundMe.

“I hate asking for help, but it’s the situation,” he said. Here are some excerpts from Stephen’sGo FundMe page, posted Nov. 29:

“I’ll have a lifetime of trauma, not to mention years and years of occupational and physical therapy and mental [e ort] in an attempt to try to recover as much use as I can from my arm, hand and foot in an attempt to get back to my old self.

“I’ll never again be who I was before that day, and my life is now forever changed: I’m a pho tographer who cannot take photo graphs; I’m an active person who now can’t even stand unassisted. Every year, I run the LA Mara

thon for St Jude’s Children’s Hos pital, and now I can’t even walk to my kitchen without being in crippling pain and it taking 20 minutes; and I’m a motorcyclist with no motorcycle.

“ is ‘accident’ has taken ev erything from me except my life, and thank God for that … I drastically underestimated the bills; not to mention my ongoing care. Whatever the bills amount to, which are most likely millions of dollars; I’ll be stuck with them. Sadly, the driver who caused all of this perished in the accident and the car he was driving was stolen. But, I will recover, I will regain the use of my arm, and I will go on with my life.”

Stephen explained that he’ll be responsible for whatever expens es his insurance won’t pay, which will include being transported to a hospital that was not in his in surance plan.

Leno,

Malibu Kitchen has generated a lot of myths, legends, rumors, and lies over the years. One of the myths is that the place was founded by a cabal of celebrities who pitched in to establish an island of New York cuisine and atmosphere on the other side of the continent. at rumor is true, although the names of the founders can’t be disclosed.

Originally from New York, Bill Miller had a long career in show business as a road manager for everyone from Frank Sinatra to John Denver to Led Zeppelin to Kiss. Working with Judith Haenel, he brought Zabar’s smoked salmon, H&H Bagels, New York rye and comfort foods like meatloaf, pulled pork, roast turkey, and fried chicken with mashed potatoes and all the xings to hungry Malibuans.

And for breakfast, oceans of Peet’s co ee, along with cinnamon buns to die for, co ee cake, croissants, cupcakes, cakes, and pies that were especially popular around the holidays.

“We would sell over 200 pies every anksgiving,” Miller said. “Would you think more?”

Malibu Kitchen became a nosh away from home for homesick New Yorkers, including the likes of Jerry Seinfeld. e comedian is one of the busier men in show business who always made it a point to motor out to Malibu Kitchen when he was on this side of the country.

Seinfeld regularly visited Malibu Kitchen to get a taste of the Hamptons while soaking up that warm California sun and talking show biz with Spike and Bill and others.

“ ey would come here for the driving,” Miller said. “Malibu Kitchen was a haven for Seinfeld. Because he could sit here in peace and quiet and watch the herons poop on all the high-end Ferraris.”

Seinfeld couldn’t make the closing day, which was kind of a shame, although Miller said Seinfeld phoned in to say mazel tov and thanks for the bagel.

Another of the myths, legends, rumors, and lies about Malibu Kitchen is that Miller had inspired the Soup Nazi character in Seinfeld. Not true, although it is true that Feresten had been a co-writer of the “Soup Nazi” episode; however, that ctional character had nothing to do with Miller or Malibu Kitchen.

ere was a long line out the door and down to Starbucks on this nal Sunday. Some who came to say goodbye, others who read the closing signs and audibly expressed their shock and sadness that Malibu Kitchen would be no more — at least at that location.

Dr. Jay Grossman is a dental surgeon who regularly rolled up for a nosh en route to his o ce in the Palisades.

Grossman expressed remorse: “I am now taking antidepressants as my daily stop to the o ce, was to see Bill and have a New York bagel cream cheese and lox sandwich.”

Chiropractor Dr. Mitch Carter D.C. lives in West Hills and his wife Randy — also a chiropractor — are two of many outsiders who come to Malibu for the blue skies and ocean breezes, and Malibu Kitchen for the atmosphere.

“Malibu Kitchen was about the only place I could unplug and just sit for hours in the glorious, interesting, beautiful moment,” Mitch Carter said. “For me and my wife, it had it all — great cars, eccentricity, comedy, love, the dogs, co ee, and the old Malibu vibe. We’ll miss it!”

By Monday, Miller, Haenel, Cathy Goodman, estate expert Katie Ladyko and Benny — the hardest working man in the deli business — were putting up white paper on the windows and beginning to disassemble the interior for a storewide sale of memorabilia on the

weekend of Dec. 10 - 11.

As for the future of Malibu Kitchen and the space it held for 22 years, it’s a mystery wrapped in a blintz. Malibu Kitchen survived res, oods, COVID, road closures, Bill’s broken hip and everything up to locusts and frogs falling from the sky, but couldn’t survive the 21st-century transformation of Malibu from small town to a California version of Cannes — a transformation that has claimed Radio Shack, A&B Lumber, the Regal Malibu Cinemas and now Malibu Kitchen.

ere are many myths, legends, rumors, and lies about the future of Malibu Kitchen and the space it no longer occupies.

“Jay Luchs is sad that we are leaving this location,”

Miller said. “but we are going to need a new home and Jay has made it his mission to nd a new spot so he can continue to get his 8-inch Jay Luchs Chubby Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookie.”

It is hoped that Malibu Kitchen and crew will nd a spot in the Cross Creek Ranch shopping area going up between Whole Foods and Santa Monica College.

As for the space, it is likely the landlord will gut, rewire and recon gure the interior, add bathrooms that connect to the new sewage system and bring it all into the 21st-century world of computerized, e cient service. But that space will most likely be closed for at least a year.

Regardless, the food and atmosphere will never be the same.

of the plan, and by other agencies.

e written comment and ques tion period began on Oct. 17 and will end shortly on Dec. 16.

e MRCA refers to the ball elds area that Malibu manages as “Malibu Blu s Park,” and calls the adjacent 84-acre natural area it manages as “Malibu Blu s.” Only the northwestern portion of the 84 acres, which the MRCA says is outside ESHA (environmentally sensitive habitat area), would be developed.

e proposed project, all within

the city limits of Malibu, would include “ ameless” camping facili ties consisting of 8-12 yurts (10-12 people per yurt), 16-20 tent cabins (6-8 people per cabin), and 18-22 tent pad sites (6-8 people per site).

e proposed infrastructure for this many campers is 30-40 parking spaces, restrooms, picnic tables, amphitheater, a ranger residence, medical building, o ce, kitchen, pedestrian and vehicle bridges, water storage tanks, re hydrants, and re extinguishers.

In addition, the MRCA wants to upgrade walking paths and trails, signage, landscaping, and coastal overlooks. It would also require the

clearing of additional native vege tation to reduce wild re hazards.

e Ramirez Canyon Park site, with the entrance at 5350 Kanan Dume Road, is on 45 acres of unincorporated LA County and Malibu land. e MRCA proposes putting 7-10 “ ameless” tent pad sites (6-8 people per site) there. Added infrastructure would in clude 36-42 parking spots, re strooms, picnic areas, re hydrants and re extinguishers; as well as utility trenching and grading to install utility lines.

e project would also include improving existing trails and paths, landscaping, and signage. Addi

tional native vegetation would have to be cleared to reduce wild re hazards.

MRCA claims that no Sensi tive Environmental Resource Ar eas (SERA) would be disturbed at Ramirez, because the proposed project area would be “located on previously disturbed and graded building pads within the western portion of the site.”

Anyone deciding to write a com ment letter on this project needs to focus on one or more of the possible environmental impact areas of the project that the state recognizes; also known as the CEQA check list: aesthetics, biology, greenhouse

gas emissions, land use/ planning, population/ housing, transporta tion/ tra c, forestry, tribal cultural resources, hazards/hazardous ma terials, minerals, public services, utilities/service systems, air quali ty, geology/ soils, hydrology/ water quality, noise, and recreation.

At the very end of 2018, the CEQA guidelines were revised to add two new topics: energy use and wild re. Comment letters with questions related to re hazard im pacts for projects located in “Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones (VHFHSZ)” must now be consid ered — and both of the proposed campgrounds are in VHFHSZs.

Comment letters should not just list complaints — to be more e ec tive, they need to raise one or more speci c issues, and then ask what the MRCA would do to mitigate them. e agency is required to answer questions.

Malibu lmmakers Rory Kennedy and Mark Bailey set to debut new volcano documentary on Net ix

By JIMY TALLAL Special to The Malibu Times

The timing couldn’t be better — just as the Big Island of Hawaii’s Mauna Loa volcano began erupt ing and spewing fresh lava this past week, a new documentary about an explosive volcano eruption in 2019 on New Zea land is coming out: “ e Volcano: Res cue from Whakaari” by Malibu residents and lmmakers Rory Kennedy and Mark Bailey.

On Dec. 9, 2019 the active Whakaari Volcano on White Island, in New Zea land’s northeastern Bay of Plenty region, explosively erupted. e island was a pop ular tourist destination, known for its vol canic activity, and 47 people were on the island at the time. Twenty-two people died, either in the explosion or from in juries, including two whose bodies were never found. An additional 25 people required intensive care for severe burns.

e ongoing seismic and volcanic activ ity in the area as well as heavy rainfall, low visibility and toxic gases hampered recovery e orts over the week following the incident.

Experts identi ed the event as a “phre atic” eruption: a release of steam and volcanic gases that caused an explosion, launching rock and ash into the air.

e “Volcano” documentary tracks the unfolding of the volcanic eruption min ute-by-minute using images, video and audio of the eruption, and its aftermath,

much of which hasn’t been seen before. A group of 47 tourists and their guides were on a routine daytime sightseeing trip to White Island when the Whakaari volcano began erupting unexpectedly, trapping the group. Daring rescues were made using boats and helicopters.

e lm interviews survivors who give rst-hand accounts of what it was like to live through the volcanic eruption expe rience; as well as the folks who bravely came to the rescue.

“ ese men and women were tested in ways they never imagined,” Kennedy said. “We see the courage and quick-thinking of ordinary citizens who sprang to action that day – humanity at its best.”

In deciding whom to interview for the lm, the team focused on people with rst-hand experience in the disaster, but went through a preliminary selection pro cess of talking with each individual rst to make sure they weren’t too traumatized with PTSD to relive the experience.

e seven survivor interviewees includ ed not only tourists, but a tour guide and helicopter pilot. e seven rescuers inter viewed for the lm were mostly pilots and law enforcement, and there was also input from a reporter and a local Maori leader who were on the scene of the disaster.

Kennedy, an Academy Award-nomi nated documentary lmmaker, was direc tor/producer of “Volcano,” and Bailey and Dallas Brennan Rexer, were co-writers/ producers.

e lmmakers rst became aware of the story when a partner sent them an article about it in Outside magazine. “Mark and I both read the article and were gripped. We were fascinated by the story and shocked we hadn’t heard about it — it happened during an inten sive news cycle in the U.S. and around the world,” Kennedy said. “We’re always looking for strong stories, but also ones that can rise to something bigger and be

In Loving Memory

MALIBU SEEN

By Kim Devore, Entertainment Editor

e Ultimate Luxury

By Burt Ross, Contributed Column

Those of you who read my column before the holiday will recall that I was working on a contraption which would rotate my body from one side to the other while sleeping. As I mentioned, I nally gave up on the idea for fear that the gadget might accidentally throw my bride out of the bed, an event which would not help the marriage.

I don’t give up easily though. I still want to solve the problem of using too much of my limited energy to rotate from one side to the other. Now we all like to spend our money di erently. Some people like to purchase fancy clothes or cars, others with far more in their bank account prefer to buy yachts and pri vate aircraft, but most of us are quite happy with an occasional meal out.

I have been thinking. I need a new car. My Toy ota, which was purchased in 2008 and currently has 133,000 miles, has seen better days. Rather than spend God knows how much for a new car, I might just spend the money on solving my rotating problem. How, you might ask? Well, here is my thinking: I could hire one or two people who would sit in the hallway outside my bedroom. When during the night I had the urge to turn from one side to the other, I would push a button and the “rotators” would quietly enter the bedroom on command and gently roll me over.

Now some of you might think this an exorbitant way of spending my money, but I don’t tell you how to spend your funds so please don’t tell me how to spend mine. As far as I’m concerned, this expenditure will solve a signi cant problem, and I will consider it not only money well spent, but the ultimate luxury. A good night’s sleep is far more important than a new car, or at least that’s what I think.

worthy of people’s time to watch. is had all of that in the mix; we felt very strongly and passionately about the subject early on.”

e story reminded each member of the lm team about the personal moments of terror in their own lives and how they coped. For Kennedy and Bailey, it was evacuating from the Woolsey Fire in Malibu in 2018, and then learning that the community had come together and neighbors kept their house from burning. For Dallas, it was being in New York on 9/11.

When it comes to humans being willing to help others in need, Dallas decided there was something unique about New Zealanders.

“It’s a small island, a small community, they take care of one another and there’s a camaraderie that really shines through,” she observed.

“Kiwi culture has a ruggedness and willingness to help someone else, even if you sometimes have to put yourself in a risky situation to do so,” Kennedy added. “It’s been reassuring and a rming to be able to witness that in this story.”

e lm team spent four or ve weeks lming in New Zealand over several trips in 2021 and 2022.

e special sneak preview screening with in-per son Q&A with Kennedy and Bailey will take place on Wednesday, Dec. 14, at the Bay eater in the Paci c Palisades at 7 p.m. Reservations can be booked through the Malibu Film Society website.

MHS Theatre Department’s ‘Noses Off’ takes audience on a hilarious romp

Angeles Wood Fired Pizza truck, co ee and tea from Fifty Skies, and whiskey tasting from Heaven’s Door Whiskey for guests over 21.

A portion of all art sales at the event were con tributed to the association’s fund for art scholarships for local youth.

Eugenie Spirito, a stone sculptor, said having her work displayed at the show was like a gift and a sign to continue making her art. She said she was happy to be back among her peers.

“We’re a community in Malibu, we need to see our people.” Spirito said. “We artists need to be in our beautiful Malibu. We’re seeing our friends, and yes we’re getting exposure, but it feeds our souls to be around people.”

Photographer Jason Konysky said he was excited by the opportunity to share his art with the community and meet with other local artists who make up the Malibu art scene.

“We’re showing that there is a lot of creativity happening here. It’s not just cool bars and pretty beaches, there’s creative folks, people happy to share the beauty of this place,” Konysky said. “I think every beautiful place needs somebody to express that beauty for people interested in seeing what we have to o er.”

Mosaic Artist Kimberly Ney Bennett said the show was uplifting for the community. She said she was happy to see members of the community interested in speaking about the arts and supporting local artists.

“I think these events are important for people who want to connect with creative people, curious people, and generous people,” Bennett said. “It’s nice to meet neighbors, make new friends and connect.”

She said she enjoyed the atmosphere at the show and said she enjoyed the new venue for the show.

“I love the bungalows. I remember years ago when it was a nursery orist place, so it’s fun to see it being revived,” Bennett said.

Painter Gay Summer Rick said she was thrilled to have her work displayed at the show. She said she is excited to see a growing art community in Malibu.

“It’s really important for us to share the amazing creativity and talent in Malibu,” Rick said. “ ere’s a growth of galleries popping up in town and I think it means we can share all this creativity.”

Schimming said the show was a celebration of the arts in Malibu and said he considered the show a “new coming out party” for the Malibu Art Asso ciation.

“I have so much pride in the Malibu Art Associa tion. Sixty one years, the association began in 1961, and this is our largest event. at says something,” Schimming said.

The Malibu High School e atre Department came out of the gate like gangbusters this year with their hilarious performance of “Noses O .” From the rst mo ments of the play with the con tinuous music skipping, you knew something crazy was about to begin. e play opens with the frenzied director desperately trying to get the cast through one full rehearsal.

“’Noses O ’ was a huge success and the audience loved it,” MMHS Arts and Angels President Jolynn Regan said in an email to The Malibu Times.

As the play unfolds, the audience is taken on a hilarious romp, as they try to gure out who is with who, who’s dead, how did they die and who murdered them. Rest assured, you will never get the answers you expect from “Noses O .”

Senior Ethan Marshall gave a standout performance as Jake, playing Reginald the butler. He held the show together with his hu mor, sarcasm, and murderous laugh. Along with junior Sophie Regan as

frazzled director Lila, she kept the audience hoping and wondering, can she actually pull this rehearsal o and get to opening night.

Regan was frustrated and funny all at once. e incomparable se nior, Marsaille Wells, delighted the audience with her performance as props person AND costume person Millie. Other standouts included Felix de Raspide Ross as Steve, playing Miles Bradley. He brought the slime of a senator with the wit of a man in love to life on stage. And love interests Arnold and Kaylie, played by Nick Ortiz and Kylie Morra, were superbly sweet together.

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 auc tioned 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 ei ther 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 916-939-0772 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this internet website http://www.qualityloan. com, using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-22-910935-CL. Information about postpone ments 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 website. 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 916-939-0772, or visit this internet website http://www.qualityloan.com, using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-22-910935-CL 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 attor ney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase.

NOTICE TO PROSPECTIVE OWNER-OCCUPANT: Any prospective own er-occupant as defined in Section 2924m of the California Civil Code who is the last and highest bidder at the trustee’s sale shall provide the required affidavit or declaration of eligibility to the auctioneer at the trustee’s sale or shall have it delivered to Quality Loan Service Corporation by 5 p.m. on the next business day following the trustee’s sale at the address set forth in the below signature block. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the property address or other common designation, if any, shown herein. If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale. If the sale is set aside for any reason, including if the Trustee is unable to convey title, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the monies paid to the Trustee. This shall be the Purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedy. The purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Trustor, the Trustee, the Beneficiary, the Beneficiary’s Agent, or the Beneficiary’s Attorney. If you have previously been discharged through bankruptcy, you may have been released of personal

liability for this loan in which case this letter is intended to exercise the note holders right’s against the real property only.

ORDINANCE NO. 505U

AN URGENCY ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF MALIBU TO TEMPORARILY AUTHORIZE A FARMERS’ MARKET AT A PUBLICLY-OWNED PARK BY AMENDING MALIBU MUNIC IPAL CODE CHAPTER 17.68 (TEMPORARY USE PERMITS), AND FINDING THE ACTION EXEMPT FROM THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT AND SETTING FORTH THE FACTS CONSTITUTING SUCH URGENCY

The City Council of the Malibu does ordain as follows:

SECTION 1. Findings.

A. The Governor issued a proclamation declaring a state of emergency on March 4, 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, pursuant to section 8625 of the California Emer gency Services Act, and this proclaimed state of emergency currently remains in effect;

B. State or local officials continue to impose or rec ommend measures to promote social distancing and reduce the risk of community transmission;

C. The City Council finds that there remains a current and immediate threat to the public safety, health, and welfare due to the threat of public health emergencies to residents, including seniors over the age of 65 who are at greater risk for COVID-19 and other illnesses in the winter/spring months;

D. Pursuant to the latest County of Los Angeles De partment of Public Health Order of the Health Officer (Order) issued on September 22, 2022, the primary intent of the Order continues to be to reduce the transmission risk of COVID-19 in the County for those in higher transmission risk settings and protect those persons at elevated risk for severe health outcomes due to COVID-19 infection. The Order provides that additional protective measures based on local conditions may be implemented at the local level;

E. Due to the nature of farmers’ markets being con ducted outdoors with spacing between vendor stalls and walking aisles, this type of use is considered by the City Coun cil as an effective and necessary measure to provide residents an outdoor alternative to obtain essential provisions related to health and wellness, including fresh fruits and vegetables;

F. The operational impacts to the current farmers’ mar ket use at the County of Los Angeles site due to construction and its impending inability to continue operations at the site during the winter/spring months will limit residents’ ability to obtain essential health and wellness provisions in an outdoor setting and, even if it could continue at the current location, these construction constraints have concentrated the booths, vendors, and patrons and relocation to a site with more space will provide a safer environment;

G. This Ordinance is intended to promote the health, safety, and public welfare of City residents, particularly during the winter and spring months (December to May), that would enable Legacy Park, a publicly-owned park within 350 feet of the current permitted site for farmers’ market use, to be used as an immediate and temporary location for such use;

H. On December 31, 2021, the City Council directed staff to define what is considered a temporary event, partic ularly for series of events, and bring back a draft ordinance, (Zoning Text Amendment (ZTA) No. 21-005, for Council con sideration, to amend Malibu Municipal Code Chapter 17.68 (Temporary Use Permits);

I. Draft language for Urgency Ordinance 505U was presented along draft language for ZTA No. 21-005 to the Zoning Ordinance Revisions and Code Enforcement Sub

committee (ZORACES) on November 11, 2022, at which time public testimony was received and a recommendation was made by the ZORACES members to bring Urgency Ordinance 505U directly to the City Council;

J. While Urgency Ordinance 505U is being processed now, a similar provision will be considered by the Planning Commission as a regular ordinance as part of ZTA No. 21-005 to amend Malibu Municipal Code Chapter 17.68 (Temporary Use Permits);

K. The current farmers’ market continues to be im pacted by construction; and

L. On November 28, 2022, the City Council held a duly noticed public hearing on Urgency Ordinance 505U reviewed and considered the staff report, materials in the record and public testimony.

M. This Ordinance is adopted for the protection of life, property, health, safety, and welfare of the public and is adopted pursuant to the powers vested in the City of Malibu under the laws and the Constitution of the State of California, including the police powers vested in the City pursuant to Article XI, section 7 of the California Constitution. This Ordi nance is approved pursuant to section 36937 of the California Government Code, allowing for ordinances of immediate presentation of the public peace, health, or safety. As set forth below, the immediate preservation of the public peace, health and safety requires that this Ordinance be enacted as an urgency ordinance pursuant to Government Code section 36937 and take effect immediately upon adoption by fourfifths of the City Council.

SECTION 2. Amendments..

A. Title 17 of the Malibu Municipal Code Chapter 17.68.040 (Temporary Use Permits) is amended to add section “M” which shall read as follows to allow farmers markets as an allowed temporary use:

M. Temporary relocation of a permitted farmer’s mar ket to a publicly-owned park located within 350 feet of the permitted location so long as such use does not exceed one day per week. The dates for this use shall not count against the maximum sixty (60) calendar days within one (1) calendar year for which a site can be used for temporary uses, nor toward the six (6) events per parcel limit. Any approvals for this use shall be good for six (6) months. The application for a TUP is required to be filed with the Planning Department sixteen (16) days prior to the proposed use. Public notices shall be mailed not less than fourteen (14) days prior to the proposed use. The Planning Director shall render a decision twelve (12) days prior to the proposed use. In addition to a TUP, a Facilities Use Permit must be obtained prior to the relocation of the Farmers Market. This provision shall expire the earlier of the issuance of a certificate of occupancy for Santa Monica College or on January 1, 2024.

SECTION 3. Severability.

If any section, subsection, provision, sentence, clause, phrase or word of this Ordinance is for any reason held to be illegal or otherwise invalid by any court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity shall be severable, and shall not affect or impair any remaining section, subsection, provision, sentence, clause, phrase or word included within this Ordinance, it being the intent of the City that the remainder of the Ordinance shall be and shall remain in full force and effect, valid, and en forceable.

SECTION 4. Environmental Review.

The City Council finds that adoption and implementation of this urgency ordinance is statutorily exempt under the Califor nia Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines 15269(c) in that the action is necessary to prevent or mitigate the threat of an emergency resulting from potential impacts to the City as a result of COVID-19 and other illnesses during the coming winter/spring months.

Furthermore, pursuant to CEQA, the proposed action has been analyzed and determined to be Categorically Exempt pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15304(e) (Class 4 – Mi nor Alterations to Land). This is appropriate for the proposed action because if the action occurs, it would consist of a temporary event that would not involve the removal of mature, scenic trees and would not have any permanent effects on the environment. It is further determined that none of the six exceptions to the use of a categorical exemption apply to this project (CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2). Any activity and/or project developed as a result of the City Council’s action that requires the City or the City Council’s discretionary approval, such as issuance of the temporary use permit or other permit will be analyzed in accordance with CEQA prior to such approval. The current City Council action in no way limits the exercise of the City or the City Council’s sole and absolute discretion.

SECTION

5. Urgency Declaration; Effective Date.

The City Council finds and declares that the adoption and im plementation of this Ordinance is necessary for the immediate preservation and protection of public health and safety as detailed above. The operation impacts to the current farmers’ market use at the County of Los Angeles site due to con struction and its impending inability to continue operations at the site in the winter/spring months will limit residents’ ability to obtain essential provisions related to health and wellness in an outdoor setting and poses a serious threat to the public health and safety. Without a farmers’ market operation in the City, residents would not have access to essential provisions, including fresh fruits and vegetables, available in an outdoor setting and risk exposure to COVID-19 and other illnesses during the winter/spring months by having to shop in indoor settings. Relocating the existing farmers’ market use within 350 feet of its current location will allow for continuity of operations and keep the farmers’ market in an area accustomed to such activity by residents, and provide more distance and spacing between booths, vendors, and patrons. The City Council therefore finds and determines that the immediate preservation of public health and safety, and protection of life, require that this Ordinance be enacted as an urgency ordinance pursuant to Government Code section 36937 and take effect immediately upon adoption by fourfifths of the City Council.

SECTION 7.

The City Clerk shall certify the passage and adoption of this Ordinance and enter it into the book of original ordinances.

PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED this 28th day of No vember 2022.

Waves women’s volleyball closes season in the NCAA Tournament

Pepperdine falls in four games in first-round match against Stanford; season ends with 19-11 record

By MCKENZIE JACKSON Special to The Malibu Times

The Pepperdine Waves women’s volleyball team’s season came to a close on Dec. 2.

e Waves were defeated by the Stan ford Cardinal 3-1 in the rst round of the NCAA Tournament at Stanford’s Maples Pavilion.

Pepperdine nished the 2022 cam paign with a 19-11 record.

Waves head coach Scott Wong said Pepperdine’s 30-game season was mem orable.

“It was a lot of great times on the court,” he said. “ e way our team re sponded, the way our team had a lot of ght. It’s been fun to see that ght from every one of our 13 players. ere are wins, there are some losses in there. ere are some great environments that we’ve played in, which has been a blast. e goal from day one this year was to be able to play in front of the best environments against the best teams.”

e Cardinal downed the Waves 2511, 25-18, 18-25, 25-20.

Senior setter Isabel Zelaya had 32 as sists, 10 digs, three kills, and two blocks for Pepperdine, and junior middle block er Meg Brown tallied 10 kills, ve blocks, and one ace. Sophomore Grace Chilling worth had nine kills and four digs, and freshman outside hitter Emily Hellmuth recorded six kills, three blocks, and one ace. Vanessa Polk, a freshman middle blocker, tallied eight kills and three blocks, while graduate student libero and defensive specialist Riley Patterson recorded eight digs. Junior opposite and outside hitter Emma Ammerman rang up nine kills and three blocks, including one solo.

Stanford took a 10-2 lead in the rst set and never looked back as they ran o with a 25-11 victory. e second match

was a tighter contest though. It was tied 8-8 at one point and then knotted at 12 after kills by Hellmuth and Chilling worth and a rejection by Ammerman and Brown. However, the Cardinal took con trol and pulled out the 25-18 triumph.

Points by Ammerman and Chilling worth and an ace from Hellmuth pushed the Waves to a one-point lead early in the third set. Pepperdine also led 12-8 after an ace from Brown, and 18-12 af ter kills by Ammerman and Chilling worth. A number of kills by Hellmuth and blocks from Ammerman and Polk led Pepperdine to closing the set with the 25-18 win.

Stanford held leads of 12-8 and 1410 in the fourth set before consecutive blocks led to the Waves tying the match at 16. e Cardinal responded though and closed the game with a 25-20 victory.

Pepperdine had three straight losses last month before ending the regular sea son with a win over Portland on Nov. 22.

e squad featured six freshman this season and only two seniors, so the team was much changed from the 2021 Waves bunch, which was also defeated in the rst round of the NCAA Champion ships.

Hellmuth was named the West Coast Conference Freshman of the Year and was also named to the conference’s All-Freshman Team. She was the third consecutive Pepperdine player to capture the top freshman honor. Chillingworth won it last season and Brown in 2020.

Brown and Chillingworth were named to the All-WCC First Team and Patter son was named to the conference’s sec ond team. Zelaya was named All-WCC Honorable Mention and Polk was named to the WCC All-Freshman Team.

Ammerman said the season was spe cial. She said the team overcame any obstacles they faced.

“ e culture that we have, the girls on this team were new this year, so it was a big shift,” she said. “Being able to ourish in that new culture and with this new team, I think was a testament to the leadership we have in our coaching sta and our seniors. It’s a season I will never forget.”
