On Thursday, June 29, Zuma Beach’s oldest lifeguard stowed his rescue can, lowered the flag, and locked Zuma tower 4, the same tower he opened on his first shift ever in 1965 as a new 18-year-old Los Angeles County Lifeguard.

Ed Heinrich, the oldest of the Heinrich dynasty of Los Angeles County lifeguards, retired after 58 years keeping watch over Malibu beaches and saving lives.

Heinrich described his last day on the job he’s had for nearly six decades as “bittersweet.”

“I know I can still continue to qualify,” said Heinrich, now on the cusp of turning 77. “I’m pretty strong, but I just thought it’s time. It’s been a big part of my life. All these years I’ve been really proud to be an LACO ocean lifeguard, particularly at Zuma.”

Ed was the first Heinrich to lifeguard. Younger brother Jerry followed in his footsteps, and then came their youngest brother Dick. All three of the eldest Heinrichs

are retiring. Unfortunately, Jerry, 73, broke his leg recently, and Dick, 71, broke his clavicle. They never had a last day as Ed did when the Baywatch boat sprayed its water cannon toward tower 4 and lifeguard trucks rolled up on the sand for a farewell. But Jerry came for Ed’s sendoff and his brother claimed, “I think he was more emotional than I was.”

The brothers are in great shape due to daily workouts, including swimming, running, biking, weightlifting, and “continuity,” according to Ed. Ed also stays active as a ski and snowboard instructor. “I want to die young as late as possible,” is one of Ed’s favorite sayings, along with, “Adults are just children who forgot how to play,” according to

his daughter Wendy.

Ed has worked seasonally for years. Even as a full-time Delta Airlines pilot based in Utah, Ed continued to work his schedule around shifts at Zuma because the need for lifeguards is strong in late summer when the younger guards return to school. He retired as a pilot more than a decade ago but always made himself available. “I like to be part of the solution, not part of the problem,” he said of his philosophy.

Ed’s son Brad followed in his footsteps as both a lifeguard and Delta pilot. Jerry’s two sons Chris (retired) and Tim, and Dick’s son, Kyle, all became Zuma lifeguards too. Ed’s nephew Kyle became his supervisor. There have been days

Barbie Dreamhouse in Malibu

The hot-pink mansion will be available for two guests starting July 21, the date of the ‘Barbie’ movie release

The infamous pink Airbnb returns, and this time, Ken is hosting the party. On June 25, a video went viral on Twitter showing the hot-pink mansion sitting pretty in Malibu.

“Spotted this thing from 10 miles away flying over Malibu today,” John Schreiber for CBSLA posted on Twitter.

The video has nearly 3.5 million views as of Sunday, July 2. The very next day, Airbnb confirmed the pink house is back — yes, back.

In October 2019, Airbnb launched a very similar Malibu

home for a short time, celebrating Barbie’s 60th anniversary. The rental service offered stays for $60 a night.

The dreamhouse is all decked out, just how Ken would want it. Featuring a cowboy-themed bedroom and closet, an outdoor bar, a gym, and more.

“We all have dreams, and Barbie is lucky enough to have a house full of them,” Ken said. “But now, it’s my turn, and I can’t wait to host guests inside these one-of-a-kind — dare I say, ‘one-of-a-Ken?’ — digs.”

Ken is hosting the party in celebration of the release of the highly anticipated “Barbie” film, directed by Greta Gerwig, written by Gerwig & Noah Baumbach, and starring Margot Robbie, Ryan Gosling, America Ferrara, Kate McKinnnon, Issa Rae, Rhea Perlman, and Will Ferrell.

Being a child of the Great Society, I was faced with a career decision in college in the early 1970s and opted to devote my energies to public policy rather than law school.

reason. The outright politicization of our judicial system is currently on full display and is poisoning the roots of our democracy.

The most recent fissure emanates from the Supreme Court on the issue of banning affirmative action in admissions policies in institutions of higher learning, in this particular case admissions to the University of North Carolina and Harvard. Why Chief Justice Roberts insists that the nation’s military academies are exempt from such a ban reflects a measure of confusion that is another topic for another day, but the underlying decision clearly is a giant step backwards.

thankfully relegated to the trash heap. It took a lot of blood, sweat, and tears to accomplish that, and how ironic that the last remanent of institutionalized racism in America in plain sight was created and supported by so called “progressives” for what they call “affirmative action.”

Summer Jubilations: Poets from different cultures came together to celebrate similar traditions

Picnics on Sundays, going to the beach, or having supper at home, they all had something in common: spending time with family

I took an undergraduate course in constitutional law, which would find me studiously reading case law on key civil rights issues, and it inspired my career direction. I marveled at the foresight, dedication, and wisdom of recent Supreme Court decisions, particularly those in the Warren era. Therefore, it is disheartening and difficult to stomach the current clown show of jurisprudence that is leading a retreat to the broken systems that the Warren Court so assiduously attempted to fix over a half-century ago.

And if you think that racial inequities were of a bygone era, think again; it was not that long ago. In 1971 I was reprimanded for using a medical facility restroom in Statesboro, Georgia, as the startled nurse informed me that I had used the “colored restroom.” The following year I was part of a recreational/ educational program at the local prison where convicts who would be found clearing the roadways as part of the notorious “chain gang” during the week would come out and play baseball with us on the weekend and then retreat to two separate dormitories — one black, one white. The package store in an adjacent county was split right down the middle with a gate that separated pool tables for blacks and whites. And while great strides have been made in sanctioning overt racism, we are moving in reverse on the systemic side of the issue.

I would decide that the last thing this world needed would be another lawyer and pursued a career in public policy that would last four decades. The Supreme Court is losing the faith and trust of the people, and for good reason. The recent decision on affirmative action is indicative of pure political malfeasance.

Diversity is a concept that is central to our democracy. Diversity is the lifeblood of this nation’s progress, and any actions that have the effect of reducing diversity sentences us to a prison of the past. Certainly this latest maneuver by the Supreme Court continues the dangerous pattern of retrenchment on key societal issues, i.e., reproductive rights, gay rights, and transgender issues. In essence we are witnessing a backwards-looking approach to the future that has its gestation in the womb of misguided political ideology.

According to Mildred Garcia, president of the American Association of State Colleges and Universities, “Fifty years since the passage of civil rights legislation has not been nearly enough to address or correct more than 350 years of discriminatory practices intended to keep people of color away from higher education institutions or, starting in the 19th century, severely limit their prospects of increasing their educational attainment.”

US News and World Report author Lauren Camera offers the following, “After California voters adopted Proposition 209 in 1996, which barred public colleges and universities from using affirmative action in admissions, Black enrollment at UCLA and UC Berkeley dropped from 7 percent to 3 percent, and roughly 10,000 Black and Latino students disappeared from the University of California system altogether … in Michigan, for example, the share of Black students enrolled at the University of Michigan dropped from about 7 percent in 2006 to just under 4 percent in 2021 — a period of time in which the share of Black college-aged Michigan residents rose from 16 percent to 19 percent.”

The Supreme Court (SCOTUS) last week struck down unconstitutional race preferences for college applicants as a component of the admissions process. Rightfully so, the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th amendment clearly affirms; “No State shall… deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.” Polling shows a firm majority of Americans support the ruling. In 1996, California voters passed Prop 209, outlawing preferential treatment in the areas of public employment and public education based on race or sex.

In 2020, tenacious folks on the left who can’t abide a meritocracy, tried to overturn that law with Prop 16. They vastly outspent those opposing them, but it was crushed by a larger margin than the passage of the original law, right here in very blue California. “Politically correct” discrimination is still discrimination, and it’s wrong. Many on the left, but certainly not all liberals or Democrats, are so deeply invested in their identity politics they can’t see the obvious truth.

Racial discrimination is abhorrent, and having good intentions behind it is the quintessential example of “the ends justify the means.” Our country’s sordid history of institutionalized racism in employment and academia is

Imagine you are a hard-working young person who hit the books K through 12 while your friends went out partying. Your parents sacrificed to save money to send you to your dream university, you have a high GPA, did great on the entrance exams, but you are told you are denied admission because of the color of your skin.

That is exactly what was happening at Harvard in the SCOTUS case. Harvard’s Asian student population had grown to 30 percent, but they are only 6.3 percent of the U.S. population. That just won’t do for those bureaucrats and admission boards who see the lines on the color bar, so for the “greater good” (as they see it) they were giving admission to less qualified applicants and turning away excellent candidates. Again, just because of their ethnicity.

UCLA, which has been barred from discriminating based on race for decades, is now 35 percent Asian. Good! May the best qualified earn their spot, it is just, fair, and results in the best people prospering from their hard work. That’s about as American as it gets. Tell me honestly, do you want the pilot flying your plane, or the doctor performing your surgery, to be there because of their race? There is such an inherent patronizing condescension in race preferences by the left. Biden campaign field organizer Erica Marsh stated, “No Black person will be able to succeed in a merit-based system.”

So vile, such racist poison, but she and her ilk feel good about it because they are “helping.” Expect a

The Malibu Round Table

Friday, July 7 from 8:30 to 10 a.m.

Each month the agenda consists of:

strong reaction from leftists to this. Thomas Sowell stated, “When people get used to preferential treatment, equal treatment seems like discrimination.” Kamala Harris, who was overtly nominated for VP because of her race and gender, stated, “the court has not fully understood the importance of equal opportunity.” Wow. SCOTUS affirmed color-blind equal opportunity, but their Orwellian worldview twists it all around. British Laureate Mike Rosen stated, “Conservatives believe in equality of opportunity. Liberals believe in equality of outcome.”

Not sure that my liberal friends espouse that, but as a conservative, as an American, I passionately believe in equal opportunity. I have been blessed in my career to work with many dynamic and brilliant Black and Hispanic people, and they excelled based upon their talents, period. This entire paradigm is so corrosive, the left constantly dividing us by race and gender. We needed to excise the cancerous bias that used to permeate our policies, and thank God we did, but now it’s time to move forward with a color-blind society in our colleges and workplace, or we will never “arrive.” No family should be denied their merit-based spot due to this racism.

In one of the greatest moments of American oratory, MLK delivered his 1963 “I have a dream” speech at the Lincoln Memorial. “I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.” We carved a beautiful granite memorial to him close to where he delivered that speech. He inspired us to build a country true to our Constitution, true to that vision. We can’t do that by judging our children’s worth to attend college based upon the color of their skin.

The community is welcome to join the meeting by sending an email to us at office@malibutimes.com, and we will add you to the email invitation.

The Malibu Times, along with the Malibu Chamber of Commerce, look to make each meeting informative and engaging, allow for open conversations and an in-depth look at what is important to the community and keep everyone well informed. We look forward to seeing you.

Watersheds group submits reports to Water Quality Control Board

The North Santa Monica Bay Coastal Watersheds Management Group, consisting of the City of Malibu, Los Angeles County, and Los Angeles County Flood Control, submitted two reports to the Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board on June 14. The first report, a semi-annual monitoring report for the North

Grandson of hotelier magnate Conrad Hilton, and the first-born son of William Barron Hilton and Marilyn Hilton, Mr. Hilton (“Barry”) was born and raised in Santa Monica, California. Upon completion of his educational studies, his love of the ocean beckoned, and he found himself calling Maui home. He relished the islands’ beauty and successfully owned and operated Teragram Charters, personally captaining and providing boat tours for fishing, island hopping, and glimpses of Hawaii’s captivating land and seascapes. After a decade of aloha, Barry returned to his Californian roots and settled into the beach town of Malibu, which he loved so dearly that it remained his home until his passing.

Barry went on to a career in luxury residential real estate development, where he discovered his passion and love for building. His inaugural project was the exclusive enclave of the Brentwood Country Estates. It was during this time that he met and discovered yet another love, the love of his life, Christy. They soon married, and family life with their children became the top priority. His days were filled with a wealth of memories made at school events, kid’s sports, and global family travels.

As an avid ocean sportsman, Cabo San Lucas was the perfect second home destination for Barry and the family, where he reveled in his love of fishing and surfing, both wind and board. The latter became a favorite pastime with his three sons, Barron, Ryan, and Steven; they were never far from the tides of salty waters. He truly was the consummate outdoorsman and embraced anything with a wide-open sky hanging overhead. Aside from his beloved ocean waters, his fellow Malibu neighbors could spot him almost daily racing around on his bicycle or walking with Christy along with their dogs Beamer and then Enzo (both of whom are joyfully reunited with him now), and countless friends who shared his love of the sun and fresh air.

The family’s Hilton Foundation was held in high esteem by Barry, and he was honored to serve as a director on its board. He took great pride in continuing the tremendous philanthropic works of his grandfather Conrad (founder) and father Barron in their dedication to aiding humanity. “I can think of no greater God-given responsibility we have than that of extending a helping hand to our fellow man.” – Conrad Hilton.

The pitter-patter of tiny feet and endless infectious giggles blessed his life once again with the arrivals of daughter Kirsten and son-in-law Andrew’s little cherubs, Hayden and Hailey. “Papa Bear” adored his precious grandbabies and loved to shower them with his playful and tender affection. Walking hand-in-hand at Little Dume with Hayden quickly became a favorite outing for Barry.

Barry is preceded by his parents, Barron and Marilyn. He is survived by his wife Christy and children William Barron Hilton III, Kirsten Heimpel Radsch (Andrew), Ryan Heimpel (Kate), Steven Heimpel (Amelia); grandchildren Hayden and Hailey; siblings Steve (Lisa), Hawley McAuliffe (Jack), Dave (Jane), Sheri Thibaut (Chris), Rick (Kathy), Dan, and Ron (Nancy).

Santa Monica Bay Coastal Watersheds (NSMBCW) Coordinated Integrated Monitoring Program (CIMP), consisted of water quality monitoring results for the reporting period of July 1 through Dec. 31, 2022. The second report, a semi-annual watershed progress report for the NSMBCW Watershed Management Program, has been posted on the website (wramps2.org/app/ welcome) under the “North Santa Monica Bay” watershed group.

Construction to begin on traffic signal synchronization project to improve safety and mobility

Construction is expected to start this month on the City of Malibu’s PCH Traffic Signal Synchronization Project, the city’s most significant measure to date to improve traffic safety and mobility on PCH, among the most important quality of life issues in Malibu. The project will take more than one year to complete. Communications lines will be installed between traffic signals on PCH from Topanga Canyon Boulevard to John Tyler Drive to synchronize them to existing traffic conditions, and they will be controlled by the Caltrans Traffic Management Center. According to Caltrans, during the past

10 years, there have been more than 4,000 collisions on PCH in Malibu. Speeding and improper turns are the most common contributing factors to collisions, both of which will be directly addressed by the Signal Synchronization Project. The system can also be used to help emergency evacuations move quickly and safely. The $34.6 million project is fully funded through County Measure R transportation funds.

The city’s parcel on Civic Center Way and Webb Way will be used for storage of construction vehicles and materials, employee parking, and a temporary construction office, which will make the project more efficient, and reduce vehicle traffic on PCH and Malibu Canyon. Per the city’s requests, the contractor will install screening and has committed to keeping the location clean. For more information, visit malibucity.org.

Malibu Senior Center thrives with growing participation

Recreation Coordinator Amanda Rigali highlights success and upcoming events

By SAMANTHA BRAVO Of The Malibu Times

Recreation Coordinator Amanda Rigali provided a report on the Malibu Senior Center’s programs and events during the Parks and Recreation meeting on Tuesday, June 20.

Rigali provided an update on the various programs and events the city hosts and said they average 662 participants who attend their programs monthly. “Of these participants, 42 percent are taking our fitness dance classes, 32 percent are taking our art and enrichment classes, and 26 percent are participating in our monthly programs,” Rigali said.

The Malibu Senior Center offers programs for seniors and active adults, ages 55 and up. Programs for seniors and active adults are offered in the city’s 1,200-square foot Senior and Active Adult Center, located in Malibu City Hall. The center offers a wide variety of recreational, fitness, cultural, and educational programming, social events, and excursions to give seniors and adults opportunities to maintain and improve physical and mental well-being, life skills, and active social lives.

Art and enrichment classes include art trek, choir, creative writing, knitting, and relaxing through coloring.

Courses and educational lectures offered in partnership with outside agencies include emergency preparedness, health screenings, financial planning, downsizing your house, computer skills, healthy aging, and Alzheimer’s awareness.

“We are really excited about our new creative writing class that just started at the beginning of June, program participation has been great so far, and we’re excited to see the class continue to grow throughout the year,” Rigali said.

Rigali said participants have really enjoyed the knitting and creative writing class that meets twice a week.

“Both of these groups really allow for a non-judgmental environment, and the participants for these

deputies rotation, Seetoo said they’re unsure where they are at the moment.

The City of Malibu addressed this concern during the May 8 City Council meeting. While rotating deputies has been useful for breaking up some deputy gangs in the past, the City of Malibu recognizes that it is just one of many options that department leaders can use. The report includes a recommendation for the sheriff to provide a report to the Civilian Oversight Commission on his perception of the viability and likelihood of success of the rotational plan.

According to the report, moving deputies every five years would have a negative impact on the City of Malibu and all communities. Law enforcement efforts are strengthened by continuity and the relationships that are built within the community. In addition, during a disaster such as the Woolsey Fire, knowledge of the community, the roads, and the neighborhoods is critical for an effective response.

Seetoo said Los Angeles County Sheriff Robert Luna provided a brief update on the contract cities meeting.

“He says nothing is concrete, it was just for consideration, so it doesn’t seem like that is being pursued right now and really that’s because all of you [cities] stepped up and really talked about how that would be detrimental to our community because our deputies— are a part of our community,” Seetoo said.

Los Angeles County Fire Department Chief Drew Smith provided an update on the weather and upcoming fire season.

“We have been favored with 200 percent of normal in our rainfall, which is very good for us as we transition into summer, but we know when fall comes, those are our high-risk days regardless of how many inches of rain we get, we get into a seasonal drought,” Smith said. “But one thing that this rainfall does do is it moistens our live fuel, so they stay lush and green for longer, so it actually shortens our prime fire season.”

classes consistently attend every week,” Rigali said.

“They’ve built great relationships with one another and both classes are always encouraging new community members to participate which is really wonderful to see.”

The monthly programs include luncheons, tech help, Theatre Thursdays, and excursions.

“This summer we’re excited to have Malibu High School student volunteers assist us with the [Tech Help] program as well,” Rigali said.

Monthly educational programs include Alzheimer’s awareness, brain health, driver safety, finance, and more.

Rigali said after increasing marketing, they were able to increase participation in the Dial-a-Ride program from an average of 13 rides per month in 2022

In anticipation of fire season, the city tracks live fuel moisture (LFM), as well as relative humidity, temperature, and dead fuel moisture, to determine wildfire conditions for Malibu. The LFM is the percentage of water content to dry matter in live vegetation and indicates how likely a fire is to grow large and spread quickly. LFM can be as high as 200 percent and is considered critical at 60 percent and below. This year, several months of above-average rainfall, coupled with cool, cloudy, and foggy days in spring and early summer, have kept moistures levels high for live and dead vegetation. This should delay the traditional wildfire season. Live and dead vegetation has already started to dry out. At its peak this winter, the LFM reached 190 percent, well above the historical average. As of June 9, LFM is at 116 percent, which is still higher than the historical average. Fuels historically get to the critical 60 percent level in late August, but fires can grow

large even at 80 percent.

“We are favored right now with the live fuel moisture, but as we target into the third week of August is when I’m predicting we have a difference set of vulnerabilities on routine days,” Smith said. “But we will keep you posted.”

As soon as the lush vegetation dries out, it becomes fuel for a potential wildfire next fire season. To prepare, Malibu residents can get help with complying with brush clearance requirements by scheduling a free Home Wildfire Hardening Assessment with the City’s Fire Safety Liaisons. They will conduct a 30-60 minute inspection that follow the Fire Code and nationally recognized best practices and provide a checklist of simple steps to take, such as good brush clearance, keeping flammable materials like dead vegetation and wood furniture away from the house, and covering up eave vents with metal mesh. Proper brush clearance

to 14 new participants in March 2023. Currently, the total of registered participants is 220.

Rigali also announced the return of the Senior Wellness Expo, which is scheduled to take place on Oct. 19.

“All attended will have the opportunity to meet local service providers and receive information from medical doctors, health and wellness businesses, and community organizations and senior care providers,” Rigali said. “All vendors will provide items to be raffled off to attended and our first 50 RSVPs will recive a free boxed lunch at the event as well, we’re super excited to be hosting the Senior Wellness Expo again, and this will continue to be an annual event going forward.”

Commissioner Suzanne Guldimann thanked Rigali

and the city for continuing the program.

“We as a commission need to continue to support the senior center and make sure we do what we can to make sure that we have the funding and the programs that we need and that staff has the resources they need,” Guldimann said.

Community Services Director Kristen Riesgo provided an update on the Fiscal Year 2023-2024, general fund park maintenance, and Legacy Park Project Fund.

Riesgo said the Temporary Skate Park skate bowls need repairs, and the repairs would cost approximately $95,000.

The permanent skate park plan is sceduled to be sent to the planning commission in the summer of 2024, the skate park has been delayed since 2020. The approximate cost is $1 million.

“There have been some delays due to [catching] a couple things that weren’t in the original design, so it’s been a tough thing to keep on top of, but it looks like summer 2024,” Riesgo said.

Riesgo said irrigation was not added to the original plan, so they decided to include it.

“I think it’s important long-term to have irrigation if we want it to look a certain way and have the trees for the neighbors as a buffer,” Riesgo said. “That’s my goal to do it right and get it right the first time.”

Riesgo also recognized Park and Recreation Month this July, honoring the Community Service Department’s role in providing essential services to the community.

For commissioner comments, Commissioner Alicia Peak briefly mentioned the recent dismissal of the head coach of the Malibu Seawolves swim team, Erik Ran.

“We are in constant contact with the foundation to ensure that they’re meeting our standards and meeting expectations, and communication with people, that there’s another side that isn’t happy,” Riesgo said. “We’re trying to work through this situation and give this new coach a chance.”

community together.

“As a kid, loving fireworks and growing up with them, I really miss them, but I don’t see the two as a competition,” Garvey said. “Point Dume is a great community; a lot of people know each other, so a parade like this, you don’t miss the fireworks as much.”

While many cars and bikes were decorated in America’s colors of red, white, and blue, Malibu Farm employee Suzy Mkrtchyan decorated a golf cart in all shades of pink.

“I wanted to be different, unique, and stand out,” Mkrtchyan said. “The ‘Barbie’ movie is coming out in a few weeks so the thought of ‘Malibu Barbie’ stood out. Our boss always said be different, be creative, and be unique, so we decided to be different.”

The Point Dume parade took a hiatus during COVID-19 but returned in 2021.

Despite fireworks being prohibited in the City of Malibu, the closest firework show to Malibu was the Calabasas 4th of July Fireworks Spectacular that took place at the Calabasas High School football field Tuesday evening. Santa Monica College also hosted their “Celebrate America” fireworks 2023: Santa Monica.

Point Dume Community Service

Districts were accepting donations for the Pt. Dume Emergency Communication Project. The district is obtaining a Federal Communication Commission (FCC) licensed private radio system to provide residents in Point Dume with an emergency radio system. Similar systems have been set up for Malibu CERT, the City of Malibu, Big Rock, Corral Canyon, and Arson Watch. The system operates independently of the power grid, internet, cell towers, etc.

PDCSD President Paul Major thanked everyone who participated and shared what they were raising donations for.

“The parade went really well, we have a lot of children in bicycles, definitely more than last year, so we had a huge lineup of people, about a miles and a half, it looked like,” Major said. “Our community center has been around since the late ’80s when we started it, and we’re raising donations for our private radio frequency for Point Dume and all the residence during an emergency disaster, they will be able to communicate with people in the community.”

The PCDSD was formed in 1985 in response to the closure of the Point Dume School. The district has also sponsored various neighborhood recreation activities and events, and is actively exploring new projects, such as a community garden and fire safety and disaster preparedness programs.

The district hopes to roll out the system over the next few months. For more information, visit pdcsd.org.

The LA County Fire Department led the parade, and the Malibu’s Sheriff’s Department Volunteers on Patrol closed the street so the parade could cruise down safely.

The parade ended at Malibu Elementary School, where residents gathered to take photos and celebrate the 4th of July.

when all seven Heinrichs would be working the beach.

Ed says he gets a personal satisfaction helping people.

“I like helping the public,” he said. “We in lifeguarding say, ‘We can do something that not very many people can do; make rescues in big surf.’”

Ed has probably made close to 3,000 rescues in his long career. The three oldest Heinrichs have probably come to the aid of swimmers facing trouble more than 10,000 times. Dick may get credit for the most. That’s a lot of rescues, but Zuma is known for its big surf.

“It’s notorious around the world for rip currents,” Ed said. “You need to be a pretty good swimmer. Just about all of us swim competitively.”

Ed, Jerry, and Dick Heinrich grew up in Glendora. Ed applied to be a pool lifeguard, but found ocean lifeguarding not only paid better but “it sounded a lot more exotic.”

He was only able to work at Zuma more than 60 miles away because back in the day there was a bunkhouse for more than a dozen lifeguards.

“There was a real esprit de corps, a camaraderie that doesn’t exist anywhere,” Ed recalled. “Malibu lifeguards, particularly Zuma, we’re a cohesive unit. We all work together. If you don’t do a good job, your peers let you know because they’re your buddies. You don’t want to let them down.

“Malibu’s reputation is we have the best lifeguards in the world. I know that for a fact. We’ve had guys that were lifeguards in New York who say, ‘We’re the New York Yankees of lifeguards.’ The group at Zuma tend to be the best lifeguards because we have to be because of the surf conditions. It’s not just a job. Keeping the beach safe, it’s personal. We take ownership of that safety. We want everyone to go home safely. I’ve been very fortunate. I can’t describe how impactful it’s been to my life.”

Ed, Jerry, and Dick Heinrich, who have all been married to their wives for roughly 50 years each, are now officially retired, but the Heinrich legacy continues. Ed’s 13-year-old grandson is in the Malibu Junior Lifeguard program.

Pepperdine opens new campus in Switzerland

Pepperdine University expanded this week with the opening of a new magnificent campus in Switzerland.

The new campus is on the site of the historic Château d’Hauteville, located in the French-speaking region of Switzerland overlooking Lake Geneva. The 260-year-old estate is an architectural masterpiece featuring 58,547 square feet of living space on 90 acres of farmland. It features 18th-century hand-painted frescoes, French-style gardens and a large cobblestone courtyard among many other European luxury touches. The stunning villa is nestled in the hills above Vevey, Switzerland, with stunning vistas overlooking Lake Geneva and the Swiss, Italian, and French Alps. This is Pepperdine’s largest international campus.

Seventy-nine undergrads will be arriving at the end of August for classes beginning Sept. 4. The site can also accommodate 45 graduate students per semester.

Marc Goodman, vice chancellor of the Hauteville Campus, commented from Switzerland, “It’s truly a university campus,” adding that along with Seaver College students eventually all five schools that comprise Pepperdine will attend. Most of the undergrads will spend more than a typical semester abroad and study in Switzerland for a full academic year.

Some of the classes offered are particular to the Swiss campus, including French language courses, the history and

culture of Switzerland, and classes that count toward general education requirements.

“The classes would be similar to what they’d be taking in Malibu perhaps with a little Swiss twist to it,” said Goodman.

“We’re trying to help them move along in their academic progress.”

Pepperdine acquired the magnificent property for an undisclosed sum in 2019.

It was purchased from the family who built the estate in the 1760s. It took a few years to go through government channels

to transform the chateau into a higher learning facility and for renovations that include 21st-century digital technology. Pepperdine already owns and operates other international campuses outside of Malibu. The first was founded in Heidelberg, Germany in 1964. The university has since expanded to London, England; Florence, Italy; Buenos Aires, Argentina; and since 2007 in Lausanne, Switzerland, less than a half-hour away by train from the chateau. That program will be shifted to the new Swiss campus that can ac -

commodate more students with a view perhaps rivaling Malibu’s.

“As beautiful as the Malibu campus is, overlooking the ocean, is as beautiful as the Chateau d’Hauteville is both on the estate and the grounds itself which are stunning,” Goodman said. “But it’s very similar in some ways to the Malibu campus. It sits upslope from Lake Geneva. We have unobstructed views of the lake just as you have unobstructed views of the Pacific Ocean on the Malibu campus.”

Pepperdine’s study abroad programs are very popular, according to the vice chancellor.

“When students are entering their sophomore year they’ll come and study for a year abroad at one of these locations,” Goodman said.

Pepperdine students apply to the international program after freshman year, indicating their first and second choices. Goodman comes to the role as vice chancellor after serving 24 years in

Malibu Surfing Association hosts International Surfing Day Beach Bingo Party

Asunny day and beautiful blue skies welcomed surfers to a “Bingo Beach Style” beach party reminiscent of 1960s Malibu beach culture where surfers would cruise to the beach, listen to music, dance, and enjoy a picnic.

Joining the MSA in the festivities were surfers from up and down the California coast, including members from surf clubs like Huntington Beach Surf Club, Pedro Point Beach Club, Santa Cruz Surf Club, Santa Barbara Surfriders, and Ventura Surf Club.

In addition to California, every nation in the world was represented at MSA’s International Surfing Day celebration, as the association planted 195 flags in the sand at First Point, each representing a country in the world.

MSA Co-President Karon Pardue said the day was perfect for celebrating the sport and lifestyle of surfing.

“We had shortboards and longboarders from all over, a beautiful day for surfing, and we honored International Surfing Day and surfing history,” Pardue said.

Surfers arrived at the beach and were treat-

ed to hot dogs cooked on the grill, and a giveaway of Jericho Poppler stickers and buttons as well as copies of The Surfer’s Journal, a reader-supported surf magazine.

Guest speakers took the beach to share stories, history, and thoughts on surfing in Malibu and around the world.

Special guests included Jericho Poppler, the first woman to win a world surfing title;

Allen Sarlo, Pro Short Boarder and original member of the Z-Boys surf and skateboarding team; Kathy Kohner-Zuckerman aka “Gidget,” America’s original surfer girl; Pro Long BoarderMary Osbourne; Jim Kempton, author of “Women on Waves,” and others.

Among the speakers was Andy Lyons,

By Benjamin Marcus, Entertainment Editor

cross country skiing and Oslo in January and February is great for that. So LA in March/April is my favorite time. And then back for more work in Norway in May and the rest of the summer.

time, and have in many ways taken turns I didn´t really like … especially when I tried very hard with no luck to “break” into the American market...

Oystein Greni used to be a familiar face in the surf at First Point, looking happy to be out of the land of ice and snow and in the land of surf and sun. Oystein talks funny and claimed he was a “rock star from Norway.” I thought, “Yeah yeah, everybody in Malibu is a rock star.” But it turns out Oystein is a rock star in Norway with his band Bigbang.

Where you been?

Have not been to Malibu much lately ... got out of the habit during COVID when I couldn’t enter the U.S. at all for about two years. And now I’ve just been focusing more on music and being in my studio in Echo Park.

You still divide your time between Norway and Los Angeles?

I’m in California for about two months in the fall and two months in spring. It’s a setup I really like. Bigbang always tours Norway in December, then Christmas with the family. I used to go back to LA on New Year’s Eve — a great day to travel — but lately I really love

Are you still touring Norway and Europe? How goes it with Bigbang?

We do really well still in Norway, but since all three of us have so many kids, we basically stopped touring the other countries like Brazil, Germany, Denmark, the U.S. The joy of a day off in Hamburg or New Orleans isn’t as joyful when you miss kids or the morning coffee.

I tell people Norway is the best-run country in the world: Thrifty, frugal, low population, wealthy, untroubled.

Travel has definitely taught me to appreciate our social security system, very few really poor people, social mobility … Norway has changed a bunch since the ‘80s when we were still relatively poor. Then all that oil money started funneling into the everyday lives of people: body shapes are way different. More fancy food, less cross country skiing, more screen time.

Does [your new album] “Le Californie” have a theme?

Bigbang has existed for a long

I´ve also very much been a control freak with my music — driven by fear and insecurities — the usual stuff, which is easy to talk about but harder to deal with or change. The result I hope is manifested in the music on “Le Californie” is that I just want the songs to be themselves. There is straight-up gospel in the song “Tune For Believers” (heavily inspired by Aretha Franklin’s “Amazing Grace”), followed by Detroit-punk “Divin’ In” and God knows a bunch of Byrds-type “Rickenbacker Jangle.”

Is “Le Californie” available online?

We´ve had some challenges on the internet after the Korean boy band with the same name as us busted onto the music scene.

For a while people in Norway couldn’t even see if we were playing in their town.

It’s available on Spotify and other platforms: open.spotify.com/album /4qtcvw7NzAMUDlLymRFCzS

Many of us occasionally confuse cause and effect. Having been in public life, I was frequently saddened by being held responsible for everything bad that happened in my town. If traffic on the George Washington Bridge

Pepperdine’s General Counsel office, as well as being an adjunct professor of law at the Caruso School of Law, where he taught courses in entertainment, intellectual property, and communications law. Goodman was named the 2017 Nonprofit General Counsel of the Year by the Los Angeles Business Journal and received the 2018 First Chair Top General Counsels award. He moved his family to Switzerland, but says he’ll miss Malibu.

“We love Malibu and lived in Malibu West the entire time we’ve been in Malibu,” Goodman said. “It’s a tremendous community and we have so many great friends there. That’s been the most difficult part as we shift our residence from Malibu to Switzerland. But we’re really looking forward to this new opportunity to be in residence in Switzerland among our students. We’re going to be living at the chateau on the estate property. We’re looking forward to experiencing life with the students as they’re learning and experiencing many things. We’re going to be side by side. That’s what’s exciting to us.” Also, exciting is Pepperdine’s future with the new Swiss campus, according to Goodman.

“This is an exciting new opportunity for the university to really continue to aspire to becoming a preeminent global university,” he said. “This is the first of our international locations that’s truly where all of our schools can participate. The other locations were focused on the undergraduate programs. We’re excited about having all of our students have the opportunity hopefully at some point come here to Switzerland and experience this amazing place.”

was backed up, creating a traffic nightmare in my town, I would be blamed even though the Bridge was completely controlled by the Port Authority, a multi-state agency whose commissioners we did not appoint.

The fact that two things happen at the same time does not prove any causal connection. The classic example is that drownings and consumption of ice cream both tend to rise at the same time, although

few people would argue that one causes the other.

All of this is prelude to what happened to me the other night. As is common with men my age, I arose in the wee hours of the morning to go to the bathroom, at exactly 2:29 a.m. I flushed the toilet and, you won’t believe me, but an amazing thing happened. A nearby cabinet rattled, yes, rattled. When I returned to bed, my bride was sitting up and said, “Did you feel the earthquake?” She immediately went online,

and sure enough, at exactly 2:29 a.m., an earthquake was recorded off the coast of Malibu.

Now I know what you are thinking. This is all one big coincidence, but I am telling you unequivocally, as sure as my name is whatever it is, my flushing that toilet caused the earthquake. I don’t need proof; we live in a time where facts no longer matter. Now realistically, I have to flush the toilet going forward, so all I can say is be prepared for more earthquakes.

Fireball Tim Lawrence to serve as chair of Malibu arts Commission, Julia Holland is vice chair

By SAMANTHA BRAVO Special to The Malibu Times

To start off the Malibu Arts Commission on Tuesday, June 27, the commission elected Fireball Tim Lawrence chair and Julia Holland vice chair.

Holland provided an Ad Hoc update with upcoming art exhibitions such as “Shifting Tides,” which includes 36 artists that pay tribute to Malibu’s deep roots in surfing culture. The exhibition will be displayed in the Malibu City Gallery in City Hall, located at 23825 Stuart Ranch Road, from July 17 through Aug. 25.

The gallery is open Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Admission to the gallery is free. The opening reception is on Sunday, July 16, at 12 p.m. The commission will celebrate the artists and Malibu’s surf culture with a live musical performance by “A Call 2Peace,” and complimentary food and beverages.

Lawrence provided an update on the Solstice Canyon Beautification Project and said they are waiting for the contract.

“Now they mentioned August, and it’s kind of painful, sitting and waiting for this to happen,” he said. “I don’t see it not happening, but for some reason, it just continues to drag out.”

During the City Council meeting on Feb. 14, 2022, Caltrans representative Hammer Sui, presented the Clean California PCH Solstice Canyon Creek public

art and community engagement proposal. The proposed public art location would be underneath the Solstice Creek pathway of PCH. The proposed timeline shows the project would need to be con-

structed by June 2023 and completed by October 2024.

The commission held a Call for Artists in September 2022 and chose Venice-based Jules Muck as the artist. Muck is a

well-known graffiti, mural, and fine artist and is experienced in large-scale murals and street art painting style. Muck was one of the first females to paint at the 106th and Park Hall of Fame in New York City and did an installation with the Guerrilla Girls for the lobby of the Bronx Museum of Art. Currently, Muck has a pigmented wall at the Starbucks on Topanga Canyon Boulevard and Dumetz Road, with three koi fish and three lilies.

Community Service Director Kristin Riesgo said the project has to go through extra consideration and findings.

“Caltrans said this is a unique situation, and no other city has requested for the maintenance to be ready,” Riesgo said. Riesgo provided a report on the budget for the six exhibitions in the Fiscal Year 2023-2024. The

Malibu High School Artist of the Month: Ethan Marshall

By FELIX DE RASPIDE ROSSL Contributed column

Ethan Marshall is a 2023 graduate of Malibu High School, and throughout his illustrious high school career, he has invested his time and efforts into the art departments of his school. As a trumpet player in the band, a lead actor in theater, a skilled vocalist, and school Valedictorian, the impact he has made has been immense. Ethan will be spending the next chapter of his life studying linguistics and cognitive science at Pomona College.

As May’s Artist of the Month, Ethan Marshall answers questions pertaining to music and his time in Malibu High School’s band.

What does music mean to you?

Music has always been an escape for me. Something to do with my time that felt somehow transcendent, like I was learning something about the universe when I played. More than that, though, music was a way to feel and express things I never could using other means.

Hearing musicians play music was a singularly profound experience for me, as if nothing else would ever move me as deeply as notes and chords could. More than just for myself, however, I see music as transformative on a global scale.

In what way(s) does it allow you to learn and grow?

During all four years of high school, absolutely nothing has been more challenging than playing music. Musicians describe a sort of naturalism to their art, as if music can

just flow in and out of them. While that may have been true in some respects for me, learning to play complicated music in talented ensembles was never something that came easily to me. With these challenges, however, I grew into a more confident musician. Learning to think and breathe with a group of other musicians taught me more about life than just about music, and music has absolutely shaped the person I am.

In what sense does it define you?

Music has changed the way I look at things, both in an abstract but very real way. When I first discovered the musical worlds of the composer Maurice Ravel, I was immediately struck by his profound vagueness. There was nothing concrete or firm about his music; it never explained itself or gave the listener exactly what they wanted to hear. His music and its emotion seems to exist entirely in the mind of the listener. I fell in love with this type of music, and in turn I became changed by it. I began to see things more vaguely, without definite borders. I found beauty in things unsaid, the things you have to assume to be real. I think in this way music has defined my sense of self and of the world around me.

How do you feel Malibu High School has been able to foster your love of music?

Malibu High has been vital in my music education. Teachers like Mr. Kibler of the band department have given me the outlet to play stimulating and expressive music every day. Working in the theater department and choir department has also allowed me to learn about these disciplines in turn, and Malibu High has never

placed any restrictions on where my love of music could imprint itself.

Is there anything you would change with the MHS music department? If so, what and why?

There’s a sort of collaborative indifference at Malibu High today. I’ve noticed a growing lack of interdisciplinary cooperation in students. It is becoming more often that I see students who would rather look down on members of other branches of music education than want to work together to create music alongside them. I think this sentiment is detrimental to the creative possibilities of interdepartmental music-making. If the orchestra, band, and choir students made music together, I have no doubts that it would sound as good as each ensemble sounds individually.

What do you hope to fulfill with the music you play?

Every time I play my instrument, my goal is the same: to create a space in which music is the only thing that matters. When listening to a live performance, the space itself changes. We go from being individual people with lives and sounds of our own into this isolated world where all that matters is the sounds coming from the performer. I hope to create these sorts of spaces with music, to give to people moments of rudimentary escape where all that exists is the sound and how it speaks to them. What is something you wish to impart with the reader about the importance of music in society?

Music, in all its forms, reflects the society around it. The music people make seeks to fill the void in the self

budget is approximatly $2,800 for each exhibition, which includes food, rentals, gallery posters, and advertising.

The commission also proposed a single artist exhibition to longtime Malibu resident and actor Dick Van Dyke and proposed a tribute show; the date is to be determined. The artwork will include portraits and various visual art depicting Van Dyke’s work. The tribute show is an effort to encourage an arts center in Malibu and proposed to name the arts center after Van Dyke earlier in March.

The commission also approved to give an extension to Anne Kelly with her Woolsey Fire Art Donation “Saving Malibu,” which is currently at City Hall. The next Malibu Arts Commission meeting is scheduled for July 25.

and in the collective perspective, and when a society is not at rest, neither is its music. Make, listen, and share music that moves you. In this way we can better understand each other and use music as a conduit to understand the deep emotional bonds running through our society. Sharing the music we honestly love with those around us and making music in touch with everything we feel is how a society exists in a higher state of consciousness.

Former Pepperdine soccer defender added to Angel City FC roster

Kelsey Hill joins LA-based National Women’s Soccer League team as national team replacement player

By MCKENZIE JACKSON Special to The Malibu Times

Former Pepperdine Waves women’s soccer player Kelsey Hill scored a big goal in her fledging professional soccer career last week.

Hill, a 2023 Pepperdine graduate, was one of two players signed to the Angel City FC as national team replacement players on June 28.

The Los Angeles-based National Women’s Soccer League team signed Hill, a defender, and Elizabeth Eddy, another defender, ahead of the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup later this month.

Hill has been training with Angel City since the outset of their 2023 campaign in March.

She said it has been amazing.

“Being with the players and the coaching staff has helped me grow so much,” Hill said in a statement. “This has been a huge opportunity for me, being able

who spoke on surf history in Malibu and the multi-generational culture that the city has maintained throughout the years, from the times his father surfed with Malibu legends like Johnny Fain, to what surfing is today and will be in the future for his young son to enjoy.

Pardue said Malibu was the perfect location for the surf community to get together to celebrate the global phenomenon that is surfing. She praised Malibu for its world-renowned surf community and specifically for its longboard-friendly waves.

“Malibu is the place for beach bingo and surfing,” Pardue said. “It’s the heart of surfing for California. Like Hawaii’s North Shore, people from across the United States want to come here as one of the top places to surf.”

to see the work I have put in payoff is really gratifying, and I am so excited.”

Hill was on Angel City’s preseason roster during their exhibition match against Club America Femenil on March 8.

She began her college soccer career at Saint Mary’s before transferring to Pepperdine in 2019.

Hill was a Wave for three seasons in which she made 40 appearances on the pitch. She was a key member of Pepperdine’s stellar 2021 defense that posted 13 shutouts. Hill ranked third on the squad that season in most minutes played with 1,934.

She scored her first goal as a Wave that season against Vanderbilt. That October, Hill was named West Coast Conference Defensive Player of the Week in October 2021 after she scored a goal against Gonzaga and helped Pepperdine earn a 3-0 shutout. Hill also scored against San Francisco and kicked a goal in the first round of the NCAA Tournament against South Dakota State that season.

She only played in six games last season because of an injury.

Hill played in 12 games in 2020. She redshirted the 2019 season due to the WCC’s transfer policy. Hill made the 2017 WCC All-Freshman team at Saint Mary’s.

Pardue was excited to have the MSA be part of the global festivities celebrating surfing. She believes the Association’s 80-plus year history and its membership of World Champion surfers and worldwide surfing culture influence puts Malibu among one of the most important surfing locales in the world.

She said the current association’s membership spans ages 7 to 91 and is proud of the multigenerational love that has remained in Malibu.

She said the International Surfing Day celebration was a congregation of surfers brought together by the love of catching waves.

“Surfing gives back to the community. For some people it’s therapy, for some it’s a lifestyle, some just do it for fun, and some even get to do it professionally, but we all talk about it, because of the love for surfing and celebrating what we all love to do,” Pardue said.

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.

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.

The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address or other common designation, if any, shown above. 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. 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 (866) 684-2727 or visit this Internet Website https:// www.servicelinkasap.com, using the file number assigned to this case 48069431. 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 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 (866) 684-2727, or visit this internet website https://www. servicelinkasap.com, using the file number assigned to this case 48069431 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. The Notice to Tenant pertains to sales occurring after January 1, 2021. Date: 6/16/2023

N OTICE OF PETITION TO ADMINISTER ESTATE OF: LAURIE MILMAN KLORMAN CASE NO. 23STPB07063

To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the WILL or estate, or both of LAURIE MILMAN KLORMAN.

A PETITION FOR PROBATE has been filed by JOHN DAVID MILMAN in the Superior Court of California, County of LOS ANGELES.

THE PETITION FOR PROBATE requests that JOHN DAVID MILMAN be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent.

THE PETITION requests the decedent’s WILL and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate. The WILL and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the court.

THE PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority.

A HEARING on the petition will be held in this court as follows: 08/29/23 at 8:30AM in Dept. 11 located at 111 N. HILL ST., LOS ANGELES, CA 90012

IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney.

IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code.

Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law. YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.

Former Waves basketball player Stacy Davis showcases exceptional skills in NBA G League

Team roster shortage in Mexico gives 6-foot-6 forward an opportunity for major playing time

KENZIE JACKSON

Stacy Davis’ first season in the NBA G League wasn’t a slam dunk initially.

The former Pepperdine Waves men’s basketball player joined the roster of the NBA developmental league’s Salt Lake City Stars after a tryout last fall. The 28-year-old spent his previous six professional hoops seasons scoring and rebounding successfully in countries such as France, Hungary, and Mexico, but even before he laced up his sneakers for the Stars, head coach Scott Morrison told Davis that he wouldn’t get a lot of playing time but as the team’s oldest player would be leaned on to provide veteran leadership to the squad composed of players in their 20s shooting for a chance to be promoted to an NBA squad.

It was a role Davis, who graduated from Pepperdine in 2016 as the basketball program’s all-time top scorer and rebounder, accepted.

“I was the vet, the voice of reason for some guys,” Davis recalled. “I was able to not only relate to them, but get them to understand the bigger picture. Also, I went onto the court as professional and made good use of the minutes I was given.”

After not receiving major playing time in November and December, things changed in late 2022.

The Stars traveled south of the border to play the Mexico City Capitanes for two contests. Some Stars players were unavailable for the second game on Dec. 30, because of food poisoning. Another player was injured during warmups for the contest. So, Davis was called on to play major minutes and exploded for 29 points, 14 rebounds, and 4 steals in loss. Davis continued his stellar play in following games and solidified himself as one of the team’s most important players.

“I showed the coaches I was capable and that they could trust me,” Davis remembered.

Davis strutted his basketball stuff. He scored over 30 points in a contest and had a triple-double in another. He helped the Stars go on a six-game winning streak in late January and early February.

The 6-foot-6, 245-pound forward wasn’t

expected to have that type of an impact against skilled opponents that are dribbles away from NBA rosters, but he stayed ready to play.

“If my number was called I was ready to go,” Davis stated. “That was a way I showed I was a vet — by my actions.

When you get to a certain level, put in enough work, and have enough confidence in your abilities, it becomes less about the athleticism and all those other things. During the summers, I have played against NBA guys and have done my

thing. This was no different. I did well.”

Davis scored a season-high 36 points and snagged 13 rebounds in a loss to the Lakeland Magic in February.

The scoring started for Davis when he grabbed a defensive rebound and went coast-to-coast for a layup. He next scored on a tip-in. Then, Davis swished a floater in the lane. There was a mid-range jumper from behind the foul line. Davis nailed a hook shot and sometime later splashed a deep three-point shot. Don’t forget his two-hand dunk to complete a fast break.

BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT

Four Seasons Tree Specialists

Joseph DiBernardo started working with his father at 15 years old and has been working for over 40 years. Diagnosing, saving, and maintaining a property’s trees and landscape are his passion. He has given estimates and performed the work on every job, dealing with customers directly. He is always available to answer your concerns and questions. He will provide exceptional experience with affordable prices. A majority of this business has been built on word of mouth, which speaks volumes to his reputation!

“There wasn’t this, ‘I’m the old guy on the team,’” Davis said. “Yea, I’m bald, but I’m two years older than the next oldest guy.” He averaged 12.2 points and 6 rebounds in 31 games for the Stars.

Davis played last summer for the Ball Hogs in the Big3, a 12-team, 3-on-3 basketball league that features rosters composed mostly of former NBA players. Before that, Davis spent each season since graduating from Pepperdine playing basketball overseas.

He wanted to play basketball in the U.S. this season to be closer to his 6-year-old daughter Saniyah, who will be a first-grader the upcoming school year. Saniyah previously visited her dad once a season in whatever international locale he was in.

Davis is one of a handful of former Waves men’s hoops players plying their trade in the professional ranks. Guard Colbey Ross, who overtook Davis as Pepperdine’s all-time top scorer, plays in Europe. Forward Kessler Edwards plays for the NBA’s Sacramento Kings. The Los Angeles Lakers drafted wing player Maxwell Lewis last month.

Many of Davis’ Pepperdine teammates and other past Waves hoopsters, are amazed Davis is maintaining a pro basketball career.

“They are proud of me,” Davis said. “It’s a win for all of us.”

Stars coaches weren’t shocked by Davis’ excellent play this season. The team’s general manager, Marquis Newman, advocated for Davis to get a spot on the Utah Jazz roster at the end of the NBA regular season.

“I was right there,” Davis said. “I was so close. It just wasn’t in the cards. It sucks to have not gotten there, but to be recognized by GMs and decision makers as someone that could eventually get that is good affirmation for myself.”

Davis aims to retire from basketball around age 35, and wants to eventually be a NBA general manager.

Davis scored in a myriad of ways but doesn’t consider it his best performance of the season.

Davis said a win over the Rio Grande Valley Vipers, in which he tallied 20 points, 7 rebounds, and 7 assists, was his top outing.

“I rebounded well, passed well, facilitated, created, and scored,” Davis recalled. “I was in the flow of the game.”

Davis often talked with younger players about not getting frustrated with a lack of playing time. Being a pro of seven seasons wasn’t a negative.

“I’m very passionate and interested in it,” he said. “I would love to be in the front office of a NBA organization in any capacity. I could provide value on that side of the game.”

Davis hasn’t decided where he will play next season, but he is happy with his career.

“It hasn’t been everything I dreamed about at all,” he explained. “It has been frustrating and rewarding. It has been unique, but it’s been me. When I’m done playing and I look back on my journey, I will have left no stone unturned. I showed that on any level against anybody, I can play against anyone and produce. I’m grateful and appreciative that I have been able to do it this long.”

Former Pepperdine basketball player Stacy Davis completed his seventh season as professional basketball with the Salt Lake City Stars, the G League affiliate for the Utah Jazz.
