The Malibu Times • March 23, 2023

In an incredibly complicated process, Malibu is faced with integrating new state laws on Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) — the addition of a small house or apartment to an existing residential property. e state wants a streamlined process that makes it easier for property owners to add a separate living unit that can either be rented out or used to accommodate family, like an elderly parent, thus helping to ease the supply of a ordable housing in California.

However, Malibu’s “no growth” and “slow growth” constituents have concerns that ADUs will only increase housing density and tra c, and make it more di cult to evacuate in the event of wild re. e planning sta has taken the stance that “State ADU legislation does not supersede the requirements of the California Coastal Act and by extension the City’s LCP.” erefore, they made as few changes as possible to the LCP.

is despite the fact that the recent head of the Coastal Commission, John Ainsworth, instructed coastal cities to make sure to not misuse their existing LCP to block a ordable ADU housing, and instead, to modify their LCP to support small-scale ADUs while also

MALIBU’S AWARD WINNING NEWSPAPER SINCE 1946

Alison Mytych of Thousand Oaks has been Malibu’s volunteer whale watcher and citizen scientist since 2012. During the gray whales’ northward migration season each year from February to May, she spends hours every day counting the number of gray whales and their calves heading back to Alaskan waters for the summer, noting observations about their behaviors and physical conditions from various places along the Malibu

Malibu Farmers Market at Legacy Park

Dear Editor,

I am writing to you today on behalf of the Malibu community and to request that the City Council put on the agenda an important matter that affects our community’s well being. As a long-time resident of Malibu and a reputable real estate agent serving the most prestigious homes in the area, I am deeply invested in the prosperity and growth of this community.

I am writing to request that the City Council vote to secure a permanent location for the Malibu Farmers Market at Legacy Park. This market has been a staple in our community for over 20 years and has become an essential gathering place for locals and visitors alike. As a resident of Malibu, I can personally attest to the tremendous impact that the Farmers Market has had on our community, and I wholeheartedly support its permanent location at Legacy Park.

LA County faces lawsuit from coalition over new wireless antenna ordinances Groups say recent changes eliminate community involvement, out environmental laws, and ignore safety concerns

As a representative of the Malibu community, I am proud to say that we are a community that values locally sourced produce and goods, and we take pride in supporting our local businesses. The Malibu Farmers Market is an essential part of our community and has served as a hub for local businesses and residents to come together and connect. The market has not only fostered a sense of community but has also contributed to the economic growth of the area.

But here in California, we can still accomplish a lot to prevent climate catastrophe.

Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act created the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund.

It is my hope that our state government and California “green banks” will do everything needed to apply for and secure grant funding for California. California is now eligible for these grants; if we receive grant funding, they could be game-changing by providing technical and financial support for much-needed clean energy projects throughout our state. As we build the needed infrastructure for decarbonization, I want to make sure that issues of environmental justice and equity are considered and addressed.

The Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund grants focus specifically on those issues, and the projects they fund will directly benefit disadvantaged communities. It makes me more hopeful, knowing that if we act now, our tax dollars can return to California through projects that move us towards meeting climate goals and providing clean energy for all Californians.

Orchestrated Campaign

Dear Editor,

From the publisher HAYLEY MATTSON

“Newspapers should be read for the study of facts. They should not be allowed to kill the habit of independent thinking.”

With all the rain coming through our communities, we hope you all are safe and dry. As always, our goal is to keep you informed about the latest news and events in our community. The recent bank failures in California have caused concern among many of us about the safety of our money. Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank, both with local branches in several cities, were among the banks that failed. Reports state that Silicon Valley Bank failed because it had invested heavily in bonds that lost value when the Federal Reserve raised interest rates. Signature Bank failed when depositors withdrew their money beyond what the bank could pay using its cash reserve.

Despite these failures, President Biden has publicly reassured the public that their money is safe. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), an independent federal agency that insures deposits in US banks and thrifts in the event of bank failures, provides coverage for up to $250,000 per depositor, per insured bank, for each account ownership category. Therefore, deposits of up to $250,000 are insured and covered. If you have more than $250,000, you should speak to a financial adviser about your options.

To give us a local perspective, we reached

— Mahatma Gandhi

out to Doug Stewart, who has agreed to write a column next week about what this means to us locally and how it could affect the economy and banking system going forward. We believe that it is important to have a local perspective on this issue and to understand how it might impact our community.

In other news, the City Council will return to the chambers at City Hall for our first in-person City Council meeting this year. It will be a hybrid meeting, so you can still participate from home. You can review the council’s agenda on A3. We encourage you to participate in the meeting and voice your opinions on the issues that matter to you.

Lastly, we have received many letters in support of The Malibu Farmers Market remaining at Legacy Park. We did a follow-up article last week that went over the details as to why these letters are being written. We are happy to see such support for our local farmers and community. If you feel any different, please write to us and let us know. We value your opinions and want to hear from you.

As always, we strive to keep you informed about the latest news and events in our community.

Stay safe and informed.

A closer examination by latest speaker: What factors contribute to ‘Citizen Kane’s’ greatness?

Malibu Library Speaker Series continues its installment with author and cultural historian Harlan Lebo

As a real estate agent, I have witnessed firsthand how the Malibu Farmers Market has contributed to the value and desirability of Malibu real estate. The market has become an attraction for visitors, and its presence has added to the charm and vibrancy of our community. Therefore, securing a permanent location for the market at Legacy Park will not only benefit the community but also contribute to the growth of the area’s real estate market.

In conclusion, I urge the City Council to prioritize this matter and vote in favor of securing a permanent location for the Malibu Farmers Market at Legacy Park. This will ensure that the market continues to thrive and contribute to the growth and prosperity of our community.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Dear Editor,

Mending Kids celebrates a milestone

A favorite Malibu charity o ers children life-saving surgeries

I was one of those who called, wrote, tweeted, and posted about the Willow Project, the controversial drilling plan still being pushed by ConocoPhillips. While pleased to know that Biden is blocking and limiting other Alaska drilling, I am discouraged to learn that the Willow Project is still on the table.

In our current political climate, perhaps much of the urgent action needed simply will not happen at the federal level.

Your Opinion page dated Feb. 23 contains nine almost identical letters that recycle the same phraseology in pushing for the Farmers Market to be permanently located in Legacy Park. The overwhelming impression given is that an orchestrated campaign has been made (by whom?) as the very same wording occurs in practically all the letters. And some of it is laughable: where are the “well-manicured lawns” (first letter), the “spacious lawns” (second letter), the “expansive lawns” (third letter), and the “spacious atmosphere” (eighth letter)?

Yes, Legacy Park has a “serene atmosphere” (first, fifth, sixth letters), but that was the entire purpose of the park that many of us supported and made contributions to when it was established. The purpose was not for it to host a commercial market.

At the very least, The Malibu Times should be investigating the reason why the market has been moved across the street, who is behind the campaign to move it permanently, and whether the new development interests on the north side of Civic Center Way are trying to influence opinion, rather than just devoting the entire Opinion section to letters that fail the sniff test while offering no reporting or investigation on the matter.

In Response to Jo Drummond

Dear Editor,

Really Jo! Reparations? Will my white ancestors receive reparations for losing limbs and/or who lost their lives fighting in the Civil War to free black slaves?

To once again resurrect the idea

of paying off a current generation of black people for the sins committed by white people — and others — decades ago makes no sense at all. It is all ridiculous. Woke Supremacy gone amok. If there are to be reparations, you have to go after and tax the African slave lords who captured other Africans and sold them to the Muslim slave traders.

Both Left and Right views left out the fact that Americans elected an African American President and yet went on to elect a lifelong systemic Racist President, Jim Crow Joe Biden, who fought hard for racial Segregation Legislation alongside KKK Grand Cyclops Senator Byrd along with our Systemic Racist VP Kamala Harris who

bragged about her record as DA of incarcerating the most African Americans for low-level drug charges.

Yes, her ancestors used African slaves on her family’s plantation in Jamaica. Both views left out that America, though racist, is the least racist country in the world, and I have been to over 40 countries, so I can attest.

The location of Legacy Park is an excellent place to host this Farmer’s Market. It is centrally located and very convenient. I hope you will continue to allow this location to be used by Cornucopia. A Farmer’s Market really is a vital element of any community.

To have it conveniently and centrally located is essential.

Linda Zander died in her sleep, surrounded in love by her three siblings, on

Tuesday, March 7, 2023. Four years of Glioblastoma could not dim the bright light that Linda shone on the World. Linda heard her life’s calling very early: to lead by example with love and faith and show others their path to authentic contributions to the World. Founder/CEO Super Sized Success and Pioneer of the Maximum Riches Formula™, Linda enriched the lives of everyone she came in contact with. Each individual who interacted with her was touched by her grace. From growing up in Northridge to her home in Malibu, Linda Zander was a Los Angeles native and out-

door enthusiast. Linda published four tomes and was heralded as a best-selling author. She ran numerous marathons, including Los Angeles, Boston, and Hawaii, since she began running at the age of 19. She dove with sharks, ziplined backward in the Amazon, and went skydiving. Her magical spirit left the World a better place. Predeceased by her beloved Mother, Lucie DiRosario, and her soul-dog Diva, Linda is survived by her twin Patricia Danieli, her brothers Donald and Bruce Porlio, and her beloved Chi companion Crystal. Service at Hollywood Forever, April 2, 2023, at 11:00 am.

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Kim Simon, 52, on February 28, 2023, from Multiple System Atrophy (MSA), a progressive neurodegenerative disease. e daughter of Dr. Dan and Ruth Hillman, Kim was born and raised in Malibu, California.

She graduated from Windward High School and received her bachelor’s degree in history, with honors, from Colorado College. Kim lived in Prague, tracing her family’s roots, and in 1994, joined Steven Spielberg’s Survivors of the Shoah Visual History Foundation, whose mission was to videotape and preserve interviews with survivors and other witnesses of the Holocaust. Kim’s tenure at the Foundation spanned 28 years, as the archive expanded to include other genocides that occurred. anks largely to Kim’s efforts, the archive contains 55,500 interviews from 65 countries in 44 languages.

Kim enjoyed skiing and became an avid runner later in life. Whoever traveled with her was recruited to join her early morning runs down city streets across

the globe. She was especially delighted in the time she spent with her husband and two daughters, who shared her love of travel. A consummate host to guests from around the world, she also possessed the knack of choosing the perfect gift for any recipient.

Kim is survived by her husband, Yuss Simon; daughters, Eva and Lily; mother, Ruth Hillman; sisters and brothers-in-law, Karen and Zev Fried and Jana and Sam Gustman; nieces, Alli Mayer (Jared), Lucy Fried, and Justine Gustman; and nephews, Jake Fried and Henry Fried. She will be deeply missed.

Malibu Democratic Club holds ‘meet and greet’ with State Assembly Member Jacqui Irwin

By JIMY TALLAL Special

While Jacqui Irwin of ousand Oaks (D-CA) is no stranger to politics, she’s not well known yet here in Malibu. At the end of 2022, as a result of the once-a-decade redistricting that California goes through, Malibu became part of the 42nd State Assembly district that Irwin represents.

e Malibu Democratic Club, headed by Jane Albrecht, held an informal “meet and greet” patio lunch for Irwin on Saturday, March 11, at the Malibu Brewing Company, attended by about 30 people.

“ e purpose of doing the event was to provide an opportunity for our new rep to get to know Malibu and for Malibu to get to know our new rep,” Albrecht wrote e Malibu Times. “It was intended to be an informal get-together where people could actually talk to her in person — not just listen to a speech. It was more about establishing relations than it was focused on issues. And it worked beautifully for that.”

“What I nd refreshing, hopeful, and something that distinguishes Jacqui from other reps we’ve had is that she’s the rst politician since I’ve been in Malibu that’s actually taken the initiative to reach out to Malibu,” Albrecht continued. “Jacqui and her sta are genuinely friendly and accessible. She’s long represented an area with signi cant GOP as well as Dem voters, so while she supports many progressive ideas, she’s also very moderate. I can see why she’s won election and re-election in a purple district.”

Irwin and her Deputy District Director Nancy Frawley learned some of Malibu’s history at the luncheon as well as some of the current state-related concerns that Malibu residents have, such as wild re prevention, climate change, and the environment.

Irwin communicated to the group about some of the state programs available for residents related to re rebuilds, rain and ood damage, and homeowners insurance coverage; as well as state budget issues.

“We got to know some interesting things about our new rep,” Albrecht wrote.

“Irwin has a degree in systems engineering from UC San Diego and was an Academic All-American swimmer. Prior to her public service, she was as an engineer at Teledyne Systems and at Johns Hopkins University’s Applied Physics Lab. She was, in essence, a rocket scientist.”

“Before being elected to the State Assembly in 2014, Irwin served as a City Councilmember in ousand Oaks for

10 years with two terms as mayor, so she understands the importance of local as well as state government,” Albrecht continued. “When Irwin was rst elected to the State Assembly, she won a traditionally Republican seat in Ventura County. She’s been re-elected ever since, including the most recent election where the boundaries of her district were substantially changed to include Simi Valley, the Santa Monica Mountains, Malibu, and Paci c Palisades.”

After the last election and the redistricting, Irwin found that almost half of her constituents were new, and she’s expressed interest in getting to know Malibu’s City Council, and return for more visits.

“I was impressed by her, and you could tell she was absorbing a lot of informa-

tion and is actively reaching out to Malibu,” Albrecht said in a phone interview.

“Irwin is able to talk with speci city and authority. She’s intelligent, well-informed, genuinely interested in getting to know all of her constituents, and works to nd solutions for her constituents’ problems.”

Irwin is coming back to Malibu on April 30 to hike with the community (an event that was previously scheduled but postponed due to rain). For more information, check the Malibu Democratic Club website at malibudemocraticclub.org.

California State Assembly members are elected to two-year terms. Under the current provisions for term limits, each member may serve a lifetime maximum of 12 years in the State Legislature; which

means Irwin will be termed out in 2026. She is currently chair of the Revenue and Taxation Committee, and serves on four other policy committees – Agriculture, Business & Professions, Higher Education and Privacy and Consumer Protection.

Irwin receives high marks of approval (over 80 percent) for her voting record from California Environmental Voters, California Labor Federation, California Teachers Association, Equality California, and Planned Parenthood A liates of California.

Jacqui Irwin’s district o ce address is 223 E. ousand Oaks Blvd, Ste. 412, ousand Oaks, CA 91360, and her number is (805) 370-0542.

at Point Mugu (NAWC). e March event marked the rst Point Mugu Air Show since 2018. This year also marks the 50th anniversary of women participating in Naval aviation. In 1973, six female aviators got their wings after training in Pensacola. is year’s event was predicted to have nearly 150,000 visitors.

On the opening day, Saturday, March 18, it took visitors over an hour to enter, with the line stretching nearly a mile long. Upon entering, visitors were greeted with underbird and Blue Angels merchandise as well as a few tents with fried food options. e air show also includes the Red Bull Sky Dive Team, civilian air performers and static aircraft displays.

For 77 years, the Blue Angels have showcased the teamwork and professionalism of the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps through ight demonstrations and community outreach while inspiring a culture of excellence and service to country for nearly 500 million fans. The Blues showcase the mainstay of modern Naval air power operating o U.S. aircraft carriers, the combat-proven F/A18 Super Hornet, along with the Marine Corps’ premiere logistics support aircraft, the C-130J.

This year, the Thunderbirds gave Ventura County Teacher of the Year 2022 Shannon Klemann a VIP ride on an aircraft.

Klemann is a biology teacher at Adolfo Camarillo High School and was one of the small group of teachers to revise the districts science curriculum over the last seven years. Her hands on teaching style and her passion for teaching have enriched the lives of so many students.

Lt. Col. Edward “Ed” Reynolds attended the air show with the Wings over Wendy’s booth and presented photographs from former U.S. Navy photographer Larry Kushner.

“We primarily participate at the Camarillo air show and Aviation Career Days, and this is the first one here at Point Mugu,” Reynolds said. “It’s a big show, and yesterday was amazing with all the middle school kids, practicing for the base, and [we also] had a chance to talk to the underbird commander.”

Reynolds currently leads a Monday morning meeting for Wings Over Wendy’s, where over 300 veterans meet weekly at the Wendy’s Restaurant in West Hills, California.

Kushner served aboard USS Hancock CVA 19 from 1967 to 1968, and had some of his photographs on display.

“This is the time I’ve been here at Point Mugu and it’s a very large show and the military flyers put on a spectacular presentation. eir ying skills are really fantastic; I was told that they’ll be around 150,000 people today,” Kushner said. “I usually photograph the Camarillo Air Show, but this show is di erent because they have the highperformance aircraft here at Point Mugu, so it’s really a great show.” is year the event also honored Women’s History Month.

The crowd received a demonstration from Vicky Benzing and her 1940 PT-17 Stearman. Benzing is known for her incredible aerobatic skills and for setting the record as “Fastest Woman Racer” ever at the Reno Air Races.

e underbirds were ying high around 1 p.m. Saturday and have performed for people all around the world multiple times a year. ey are known to display the pride, precision, and professionalism the U.S. Air Force represents. rough air shows and flyovers, they aim to excite and inspire. In addition to showcasing the elite skills all pilots must possess, the underbirds demonstrate the incredible capabilities of the Air Force’s premier multi-role ghter jet, the F-16 Fighting Falcon.

up a 3-knot pace on its northbound migration.” e average gray whale speed is 4 mph.

Mytych reported her sighting to the American Cetacean Society — Los Angeles, which takes a census count of the gray whales migrating annually. Project Director Alisa Schulman-Janiger told her the whale’s uke was amputated most likely from entanglement with shing gear, and that whale was moderately underweight.

“Migrating without the fluke requires an enormous amount of energy and calorie expenditure,” she commented.

According to an account in the Orange County Register, a charter boat started tracking a gray whale cruising only about 100 feet from the shore on March 13. Something was di erent about the way this whale swam, and as the boat got closer, it became apparent why — the whale had no tail.

Fire Rebuild Fee

Waivers before June 30 Deadline

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

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

tail anymore,” Newport Coastal Adventure owner Ryan Lawler told the Register, saying the whale had to use its pectoral ippers located towards the head and lean sideways to swim. “It was not giving any indication that it was distressed, it was making do. It was doing pretty good, all things considered.”

“It was actually playing around in the waves,” Lawler continued. “But the injury is obviously dramatic. We think of the whale’s tail as the iconic, primary way to get around. is one has shown it is able to adapt to life without a tail. It’s unbelievable.”

Schulman-Janiger saw her rst tailless whale in Mexico back in 1985. More recently, there have been sightings in Southern California in 2015, 2016, and 2018, she said. Experts are now examining photos to determine if this whale matches any previous sightings.

However, she contends that the life expectancy of a whale without a tail is likely shorter because of the e ort it takes to swim and dive for food.

“ is is what they need to propel themselves, to push themselves down to feed or move to maneuver,”

she said. “It’s going to drain a lot of their energy.”

Although too late to help this whale, the 2023 Consolidated Appropriations Act, signed by President Joe Biden, includes provisions phasing out the use of destructive drift gillnets from federal waters by the sword sh industry. According to Pew Charitable Trust, “For decades, [the gillnets] have killed more dolphins, whales, and porpoises than all other West Coast sheries combined.”

A lawsuit in 2019 over whale and sea turtle entanglements in California Dungeness crab shery traps spurred a settlement that ended the shing season early. e settlement led to a drop in whale entanglements.

However, there’s still a long way to go when it comes to protecting whales from shing gear. Just a few days ago, a federal judge ruled that the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) illegally authorized a permit that allowed the incidental killing of endangered Pacific humpback whales by entanglements in sable sh pot gear o the coasts of California, Oregon, and Washington.

the Environmental Sustainability Department sta monitors construction sites regularly and sends out e-noti cations to the building community, reminding them to adhere to Grading Site Best Management Practices (BMP), keeping sites clean and free of debris with erosion control measures properly in place. e BMPs include ensuring all excavated soil is located on the site in a manner that minimizes the amount of sediment running onto the street, drainage facilities or any adjacent properties. Soil piles must be bermed or covered with plastic or similar materials until the soil is either used or removed from the site. If the BMPs are not in place, city inspection sta will not allow any further construction or further grading until the end of the rainy season, and Code Enforcement will be

ESD conducting Grading Site Best Management Practices inspections during raining season

During Malibu’s rainy season,

On March 14, a gray whale with a missing tail, or fluke, was sighted o the coast of Malibu by Alison Mytych - a dedicated volunteer whale watcher stationed at the Point Dume headlands. Photo by Alison Mytych

As rescuers were completing the rst rescue, a passerby alerted them to another female hiker who su ered more signi cant injuries at the waterfall, and the Los Angeles County Fire Department Air Operations was requested. Rescuers hiked back into the falls area and located the second victim. She was packaged and carried to an open area, where she was hoisted by the re copter and transported to a local hospital for treatment.

O cials recommend holding o any hiking activities once storms pass.

According to the National Park Service, due to recent widespread rain and ood conditions, some trails have been heavily damaged and are not accessible. If heavy rain is forecast, hillside slopes and trails can become unstable and dry stream beds can become swift moving streams. Avoid hiking after a moderate to heavy rain event due to muddy conditions and to prevent damage to the trail. It is also recommended to hike with someone or let a friend know where you will be hiking. Always check the weather forecast for the days you will be hiking.

protecting coastal resources.

e State ADU Law would allow Malibu to potentially satisfy its entire a ordable Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) Plan through the construction of ADUs.

Under the new state rules, once the Planning Department deems a homeowner’s application for an ADU to be complete, it will only have 60 days to process it without public hearings, appeals, or sta reports. However, in a Malibu case that already went to court, the City of Malibu got around this requirement by never declaring an application “complete.”

e case is now being appealed.

While hundreds of California communities, including nearby Agoura Hills, Calabasas, and the unincorporated parts of LA County, already have their new ADU ordinances in place, Malibu is among the last of the coastal cities to adopt an ADU ordinance. No survey has been done to determine the demand for ADUs in Malibu, so no one knows if ve or 500 ADUs would eventually be built under the new laws.

e proposed Local Coastal Plan (LCP) and Malibu Municipal Code changes needed to comply with state laws on Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU’s) got their nal review at a special meeting of the Planning Com-

mission last week and will go next to City Council for nal approval. An ADU created from a new or converted building would be addressed by changes to the city’s LCP, while an ADU created inside an existing home will be addressed with changes to the Malibu Municipal Code. Only three public speakers appeared at the meeting, with one of them complaining that the city was “going against the spirit of this good public policy” by still making an ADU di cult for people to build when it was supposed to be easier.

e original proposed 268-page policy and report can be read in its entirety at malibucity.org/AgendaCenter/ViewFile/Item/5998? leID=44263.

e city will not allow any ADU to be used as a short-term rental unit. It must have its own private entrance and cannot be built in a front yard.

At the end of the long meeting, the following modi cations to the ADU ordinance are to be recommended to City Council: change the maximum height from 16 feet to 24 feet, count the square footage of any basement towards the total square footage, allow an ADU to be 400 square feet to 1,200 square feet in size, don’t allow any reduction in parking, require rental reports, keep the same setbacks as in the LCP, clarify ve-foot setbacks, don’t require two means of street ingress/ egress. If there is only one means of ingress/egress, the ADU must be on a 20-foot wide street.

14-year-old Malibu High student earns black belt after 11.5-year journey

By

Ajourney of discipline and determination, Ryder Lippman’s dedication to karate took him on an 11-anda-half-year journey that culminated in him earning his black belt at just 14 years old.

“To me, a black belt represents more than just a belt,” Lippman said in an essay re ecting on his journey. “It’s a symbol of commitment, power, and the strength to push through anything.”

Lippman tested for his Tang Soo Do black belt at Escobar Karate, where he has trained since the age of 3.

e test demanded Lippman perform 14 forms, including two bow forms, and 18 one-step techniques. His endurance and stamina was tested with 30 minutes of non-stop kicks and punches, followed by 25 minutes of full-contact sparring with two black belts. He also tested his precision and focus by breaking wooden boards. In addition to the physical challenges, Lippman was also required to complete an essay that re ected on his martial arts journey. e essay expressed his love and appreciation for karate and explored the invaluable life skills earned through his training.

Lippman said he learned respect, discipline, and self-defense and earned condence, pride, and gratitude throughout his training.

“Being in the class everyday I think really helped build my character,” Lippman said. “It’s really strict and tough, but it’s a big reason why I can stay so focused.”

Lippman said his training was grueling, but his dedication to his craft continued to drive him.

“Training for my black belt has been the

most challenging thing I’ve ever done,” he said. “I trained tirelessly for two years, pushing myself to the limits physically and mentally. It took me around 10 years to memorize every form, and another year to re ne every little detail. Even then, I sometimes made mistakes, but that only made me more determined to practice

‘That’s

harder,” Lippman said.

Joey Escobar, owner and head instructor of Joey Escobar Karate, trained Lippman and called him the ideal student. He praised his work ethic and commitment to earning his black belt, and said Lippman had found the lifestyle of a martial artist.

“It is a huge accomplishment,” Escobar

said. “I’ve been teaching martial arts for over 40 years and I’ve had maybe tens of thousands of students, and there’s only a couple hundred of black belts, and he’s one of the few who actually stuck it out.” Escobar said although Lippman has proven to be an exceptional athlete and

Every surf spot has its champion of the long ride. ere’s Laird Hamilton trimming from Little Dume to Paradise Cove, Allen Sarlo starting from ird Point and shooting the Malibu Pier … and, in the last swell, Michael deNicola connecting Boomers to Charthouse.

DeNicola grew up watching swells wrap around the coast from his grandparents’ hillside home in Castellammare, Paci c Palisades. He’d already imagined his future ride after noticing that the biggest waves would sometimes wrap around two points before expiring. He joined the USA Surf Team at 19, turned pro, then created an international surf contest called 5X. In the late 1990s, he began building an art career around his colorful, gra ti-like paintings.

Malibu High School Counselor Linh Snyder recognized

Linh Snyder is a college and career counselor at Malibu High School and was recently recognized by the National Association for College Admission Counseling.

“Every day looks di erent, and I never know what I am walking into, but my students keep me entertained, laughing, and remind me how important my role as a counselor is,” Snyder said.

Q&A provided by the National Association for College Admission Counseling.

What drew you to the world of college admission counseling?

Right out of college, I started working with a TRIO program at Cal Lutheran University. I loved supporting students through their college application process, so when a position in the undergraduate admission o ce at Cal Lutheran was presented, I knew I wanted that role to better understand the higher education landscape. Working in admissions gave me the opportunity to grow as a professional, learn from the best mentors, and serve students who were rst-generation like myself. After four years of admissions work, I transitioned to the high school side in my current role as the college and career counselor at Malibu High School.

What is your favorite part of the job?

e students! Every day looks di erent and I never know what I am walking into, but my students keep me entertained, laughing, and remind me how important my role as a counselor is.

How has NACAC played a role in your career?

NACAC has helped me in providing the resources and the opportunity to connect with others in this profession. I remember attending my rst NACAC event

in San Diego and thinking that this is a space I knew I wanted to be a part of. NACAC was MY PEOPLE! ey are here to serve students and build community. I’ve had many mentors through this association and many other counselors who I can just call on the phone when I need advice. I love that about NACAC. In turn, I am able to serve this year as a mentor through the WACAC LDI program and NACAC GWI faculty.

What do you think is the biggest challenge facing our profession today?

We need more school counselors in K-12 schools. In the last few years with COVID and oth-

er mental health challenges, we need more professionals in school counseling to better support all students.

When you aren’t working, what do you like to do?

Going to try new restaurants and co ee shops with my husband; watching my kids cook (they love making pasta); gardening; creating the ultimate brunch café menu for when I open my own restaurant; and watching HGTV, of course.

What five words would you use to describe yourself?

A dreamer, nature-lover, educator, goofy, and optimist.

Burt’s Eye View: Junk

PERSPECTIVE

By Burt Ross, Contributed Column

No, no, my loyal readers. This column has absolutely nothing to do with discarded trash in my garage. Rather it is about a more delicate subject around which I need to tread very carefully. Please read on.

I was once again watching television which I should definitely

this could be the day I’d make it to Charthouse,” deNicola says.

Conditions were so hairy that a re truck waited on the blu for an accident to happen. Most surfers couldn’t paddle out through the windswept giants. deNicola got a push by jumping into the muddy creek as it rushed into the ocean.

“It wasn’t a beautiful day to surf, but I was excited by the energy in the water,” he says. “I rode a 7’7” board, shaped by Bruce Fowler, with a quad setup that had a fth n the size of a guitar pick to help with turns. We’d been playing with that design for about six years.”

e only others who made it into the lineup were Faen and Quinn Williamson. (An earlier session had been surfed by Edwin Martin, Richard “Evy” Evans, and Mo Magee.)

deNicola caught a number of waves while searching for his outlier. Around 4 p.m., with sunset approaching, he took o on one that allowed him through every section. He surfed past the lifeguard tower, the stairs, the Malibu Feed Bin, until, suddenly, the next point loomed up ahead.

“I knew I de nitely didn’t want to get stuck in those rocks, so I did everything I could to keep moving, even as the wave began to atten out,” he says.

e rst to realize that something remarkable was happening, Martin narrates, while lming, “He’s going to make it to Charthouse.”

Tristan “Red Dog” Welch lmed the ride’s end from the parking lot of Mastro’s Ocean Club. He and his friends were shocked when deNicola appeared. ey ask, “Where is he going?” and “Does he have a motor on that thing?” en Welch declares, “ at’s the wave of his life,” and they begin to cheer, “Make it!” until the half-mile ride ends just past the restaurant.

stop doing altogether, when a woman was shouting at her man something to the effect, “Keep your junk to yourself.” I thought about this for some time, and finally concluded that in the context of the situation, she could only be referring to something which is anything but junk.

I could hardly believe my ears. The very instrument of life itself was being degraded and minimized as junk, no more valuable than the discarded trash in my garage. With all the terms available at this woman’s disposal, she chose “junk.” Was anybody

“I was high on adrenaline from the victory, but my legs were so tired that I practically had to crawl out of the water,” deNicola says. “I started sur ng at 12. I’ve surfed big waves all over the world. I’ve had injuries that I thought would prevent me from ever sur ng again. Yet, at 55, I’d experienced a breakthrough at a beach I’ve been sur ng my whole life. It feels even more special to nd a great wave to yourself in a city as populous as Los Angeles.” e only other time that someone is known to have accomplished this feat was in the winter of 1998-99 (Sur ine wrongly says 1982-83), when ex-pro Donny Wilson surfed a full mile, to just past the Sunset Mesa intersection.

Wilson remembers: “I airdropped into the biggest wave of my life and didn’t cut back once, just raced straight ahead on a 7’6” gun, shaped by Steve Wilson and given to me by Local Motion in Hawaii. Except for Allen Sarlo and Matt Wessen, nobody else was in the water.”

Wilson also lays claim to being the only surfer to ride around the Malibu Pier, in the summer of 1998.

On the biggest day of the 1970s, Sept. 27, 1975, Paul Lovas rode a 9’10” gun, shaped by Robbie Dick, to the Charthouse restaurant, but didn’t make it around, according to his memoir “Topanga Beach Experience” (2011).

deNicola hopes his long ride will inspire young surfers to achieve their goals. That’s also the idea behind his cartoon character, Torquato, “born of water and stoke, the action hero inside each of us who says, ‘Yes You Can!!!’” He currently has an art show at Paliskates, 1021 N. Swarthmore Ave., and invites surfers and skaters to bring their boards for a free spray-painted stencil of Torquato on March 25, between 2 and 4 p.m. Find out more at www. iamtorquato.com.

other than yours truly outraged? The answer, of course, is “no.” Just think about this — were a man to refer to a woman’s “front bottom” as junk, would there be the same silence? Hell no! Women would be justifiably marching in the streets, and the offending male would be obliterated as he well should be. It is about time that we men also stand up for our rights, our dignity and put our collective feet down when our manhood is dismissed as “junk.” The expression “crown jewels” sounds infinitely more to my liking.

Pepperdine Waves golfer William

Mouw was named the West Coast Conference Golfer of the Month on March 14.

e senior earned the honor after leading the Waves to three top-three tournament nishes and a victory at e Prestige in February.

It is the rst time that Mouw, a threetime All-American, has claimed the monthly WCC recognition.

The four-year Wave averaged 70.33 strokes per round and had four below-par

martial artist, he believes his character is equally impressive.

“He’s the whole package, he’s a really good kid, and he has a big heart.” he said, “I’d be proud to call him my son, and I am very proud to call him one my black belts.”

Lippman expressed gratitude for his family for being his support system throughout his journey. He said their support has meant the world to him.

Steven Lippman, Ryder’s father, said their family has always valued the importance of hard work and commitment to achieving goals, and said Ryder has accomplished this feat through strong work ethic and determination.

“Ryder has worked very hard for years and deserves to feel proud,” the elder Lippman said. “As a father I am incredibly proud of him and he should hold his head high knowing that nobody can say he didn’t earn it.”

rounds out of the nine he played. Mouw moved up to No. 15 in the Golfstat player rankings, tops in the WCC.

e golfer nished second in the highly competitive e Prestige on Feb. 20-22, leading the Waves to the tournament title for the rst time in program history. Mouw shot 65 in the rst round of the event, one stroke shy of his career-best round, and nished 5-under overall. He beat out the No. 2, No. 3, and No. 6 ranked players nationally at the tournament.

Mouw tied fth at the Feb. 26-28 Southern Highlands Collegiate. He had 65 in the nal round, nishing 8-under overall.

Mouw also led Pepperdine to a second-place nish at the Jan. 30-Feb. 1 Southwestern Invitational and a third-place nish at the Southern Highlands Collegiate, which ran from Feb. 26-28.

Last weekend, Mouw led Pepperdine to a second-place nish at the NIT in Tucson, Arizona. He shot 10-under overall and 6-under in the nal round of the March 18-19 event. Mouw had seven birdies on

While Ryder committed time nearly every day to his karate training, he has continued to balance the life of an extraordinary young man.

As a freshman at Malibu High School, he has maintained a 3.5 grade point average and is part of the school’s water polo team. His daily life consists of school, water polo practice, karate training, and homework. When time allows, he also excels at skateboarding, sur ng, snowboarding, and jiu jitsu.

Lippman said that like karate, water polo has been enriching both physically and mentally. He said the team sport aspect of this challenge appeals to him because he likes that he can contribute, but also rely on his teammates for help. He explained that the team acts as an extension of himself.

“I think it’s really special to have teammates that you can rely on and have people to talk to,” he said. “Being on a team is like having your own club with people you really like. You’re able to trust everyone in the game to accomplish certain

the nal day, and 14 birdies overall and an eagle in the tournament to earn a thirdplace nish. His three-round total was 206 (70-70-66) three shots behind the top spot.

Waves graduate student Sam Choi, who nished 13th, shot ve-under in the nal round with six birdies, with 13 birdies overall. His three-round total was 211 (72-7267).

Graduate student Luke Gi ord shot 4-under in the last round. His total was 215 (75-72-68). He had seven birdies in the nal round and 16 total and tied for 37th.

Derek Hitchner, another graduate student, had a total of 218 (69-71-68) and nished 52nd, and graduate student Roberto Nieves’ total was 220 (76-75-69). Brady Siravo, a freshman, had a total of 220 (74-7373) as well. Nieves and Siravo tied at 59th. Arizona tallied a total score of 840 to win the 13-team event, while Pepperdine nished at 841. e Waves play at the Valspar Collegiate Invitational in Palm City, Florida, March 27-28.

things.”

Hayden Goldberg, Malibu High School water polo head coach, praised Lippman for his drive to be better, and the discipline to continue to push himself to the next level.

“It’s one thing to ask how I could be better and how could I improve my skill but it’s another to take it and apply it out in the eld,” Goldberg said. “He’s always been such a quick learner but I think that has to do with his intent to learn so much. I have been very impressed with his ability to catch on so quickly, he’s a very strong-minded kid.”

Besides his daily routine, Lippman acts as an instructor to developing karate students at Escobar Karate, participates in activities as part of the junior lifeguard program, and serves as a volunteer surf instructor for his father’s 501(c)3 nonpro t A Walk on Water, an organization that provides surf therapy to children with unique needs and to their families.

Lippman serves as the organization’s youngest surf instructor.

Although already very busy, Lippman’s compassion helps him nd time to help others, and serve his community.

Lippman believes that being there for others is a positive and admirable quality. He thinks it’s important to be able to help those who are less fortunate without expecting anything in return.

A Walk on Water Treasurer and Board Member Ari Markow explained that Lippman has acted as an ambassador of sorts for the organization that helped connect kids with unique needs to the organization and he has continuously helped support and encourage children with unique needs to believe in themselves and feel accepted.

Markow’s son Max is autistic, non-verbal and Lippman’s age. Markow said that Lippman has been a friend and supporter of his son, and has helped encourage Max and children like him to learn how to surf and bene t from the therapy A Walk on Water provides.

“Ryder is a very open minded and compassionate human being,” Markow said.

“He has shown my son Max and kids like Max this compassion, and treated them just like any other kid. He’s supported them, has stuck up for them, and has helped show the world that these kids can do things just like any other kids.”

Lippman continues to take on challenges and remains ambitious. In the near future, he plans to continue to improve as a water polo player, with hopes of earning a scholarship to a university where he hopes to study engineering or pre-med. He also plans to take on an instructor or mentor role at the karate dojang, where he can pass on the skills he has learned over his journey. He also said that once eligible at the age of 16, he aspires to become an o cial state lifeguard.

Lippman expressed his gratitude for karate for helping him develop a resolve to push his limits and be the best he could be.

“I’ve come to realize that achieving great things takes time and dedication,” he said.

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.

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 nternet Web site.

NOTICE OF AVAILABILITY

RECIRCULATED DRAFT PROGRAM ENVIRONMENTAL

IMPACT REPORT for The los angeles county 2045 climate action plan

PROJECT TITLE: Los Angeles County 2045 Climate Action Plan

PROJECT LOCATION: Unincorporated areas of Los Angeles County

The Los Angeles County Department of Regional Planning (County), acting as the lead agency pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), completed a Draft Program Environmental Impact Report (PEIR) for the Los Angeles County 2045 Climate Action Plan (2045 CAP) in May 2022. After the July 2022 conclusion of the comment period for the Draft PEIR, the County elected to revise the Draft 2045 CAP in response to public and other input received, and to transition the 2045 CAP’s aspirational goal of carbon neutrality by 2045 into a target consistent with new legislation, Assembly Bill (AB) 1279, which was enacted in September 2022 after the close of the Draft PEIR comment period. The County prepared a Recirculated Draft PEIR, which analyzes changes in the project made after the issuance of the Draft PEIR and which wholly replaces the Draft PEIR that was issued in May 2022.

The County has prepared this Notice of Availability (NOA) to consult with and request comments from responsible agencies, trustee agencies, and other interested parties regarding the environmental analyses presented in the Recirculated Draft PEIR.

PROJECT LOCATION

Unincorporated areas of Los Angeles County.

PROJECT SUMMARY

The Draft 2045 CAP (Project) is the County’s plan towards meeting greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction targets for unincorporated Los Angeles County by the years of 2030, 2035, and 2045. It was developed with the goals of implementing the GHG emissions reduction policies of the General Plan Air Quality Element and ensuring that the County contributes its fair share to statewide GHG emissions reductions.

With these goals in mind, the objectives of the Draft 2045 CAP are as follows:

1. Identify detailed programs, actions, and performance goals to achieve the climate action policies of the General Plan.

2. Identify GHG emissions reduction targets tailored to the unincorporated County that closely align with state and County climate goals.

3. Provide a road map for reducing GHG emissions to achieve the County’s GHG emissions reduction targets.

4. Encourage sustainable housing production at all levels of affordability, including increasing housing densities near transit to the extent allowed in the General Plan.

5. Demonstrate a level of GHG emissions below which the County would have less than cumulatively considerable GHG impacts for future environmental review projects and provide CEQA streamlining for development projects (serve as a “qualified CAP”) via the2045 CAP Consistency Review Checklist.

The Draft 2045 CAP includes the following:

• A greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions inventory for 2018.

• Emissions forecasts for 2030, 2035, and 2045.

• GHG emissions targets for 2030, 2035, and 2045.

• A long-term aspirational goal for carbon neutrality by 2045.

• A suite of GHG emissions reduction strategies, measures, and actions to reduce GHG emissions from major sectors.

• A technical modeling appendix to explain the Draft 2045 CAP’s GHG emissions reduction estimates.

• A consideration of environmental justice and equity concerns.

• Implementation and monitoring measures to ensure successful climate action.

• A new development review consistency checklist to allow future projects to streamline GHG emissions analyses pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as anticipated by CEQA Guidelines Section 15183.5 by using the 2045 CAP.

Approval of the Draft 2045 CAP would require an amendment to the General Plan to replace the Unincorporated Los Angeles County Community Climate Action Plan 2020 (2020 CCAP), an implementing component of the General Plan’s Air Quality Element.

list O signi cant n iron ental ects anticipated as a result of the project

No changes to General Plan land use designations, zoning, or specific development projects are proposed as part of the Draft 2045 CAP. However, projects facilitated by Draft 2045 CAP measures and actions would have the following significant impacts:

• Aesthetics: The Project, as a result of projects facilitated by Draft 2045 CAP measures and actions would: have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista; be visible from or obstruct views from a regional riding, hiking, or multiuse trail; substantially damage scenic resources, including, but not limited to, trees, rock outcroppings, and historic buildings within a state scenic highway; substantially degrade the existing visual character or quality of public views of the site and its surroundings because of height, bulk, pattern, scale, character, or other features and/or conflict with applicable zoning and other regulations governing scenic quality; and create a new source of substantial shadows, light, or glare, which would adversely affect day or nighttime views in the area. The Project would also cause significant cumulative impacts to aesthetics resources.

• Agriculture and Forestry: The Project, as a result of projects facilitated by Draft 2045 CAP measures and actions, would: convert Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide Importance (Farmland), as shown on the maps prepared pursuant to the Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program of the California Resources Agency, to nonagricultural use; conflict with existing zoning for agricultural use, with a designated Agricultural Resource Area, or with a Williamson Act contract; and involve other changes in the existing environment that, due to their location or nature, could result in conversion of Farmland, to nonagricultural use or conversion of forest land to

non-forest use. The Project would also cause significant cumulative impacts to agriculture and forestry resources.

• Air Quality: The Project, as a result of projects facilitated by Draft 2045 CAP measures and actions, would: conflict with or obstruct implementation of the applicable air quality plan; result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of a criteria pollutant for which the Project region is non-attainment under an applicable federal or state ambient air quality standard; expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations for localized air pollutants and TAC emissions; and contribute to a significant cumulative impact to air quality associated with toxic air contaminant emissions.

• Biological Resources: The Project, as a result of projects facilitated by Draft 2045 CAP measures and actions, would: have a substantial adverse indirect impact (i.e., through habitat modifications) on one or more species identified as a candidate, sensitive, or special-status species in local or regional plans, policies, or regulations, or by CDFW or USFWS; have a substantial adverse impact on sensitive natural communities (e.g., riparian habitat, coastal sage scrub, oak woodlands, non-jurisdictional wetlands) identified in local or regional plans, policies, regulations or by CDFW or USFWS; have a substantial adverse impact on state or federally protected wetlands (including, but not limited to, marshes, vernal pools, coastal wetlands, etc.) through direct removal, filling, hydrological interruption, or other means; and interfere substantially with the movement of native resident or migratory fish or wildlife species or with established native resident or migratory wildlife corridors, or impede the use of native wildlife nursery sites; and convert oak woodlands or other unique native woodlands. The Project would also cause significant cumulative impacts to biological resources.

• Cultural Resources: The Project, as a result of projects facilitated by Draft 2045 CAP measures and actions, would: cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.5; cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a unique archaeological resource pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.5; directly or indirectly destroy a unique paleontological resource or site or unique geologic feature; and disturb any human remains, including those interred outside of dedicated cemeteries. The Project would also cause significant cumulative impacts to cultural resources.

• Hazards and Hazardous Materials: The Project, as a result of projects facilitated by Draft 2045 CAP measures and actions, would: create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through reasonably foreseeable upset and accident conditions involving the release of hazardous materials or waste into the environment; emit hazardous emissions or handle hazardous or acutely hazardous materials, substances, or waste within 0.25-mile of sensitive land uses; and impair implementation of, or physically interfere with, an adopted emergency response plan or emergency evacuation plan. The Project would also cause significant cumulative impacts to hazards and hazardous materials resources.

• Hydrology and Water Quality: The Project, as a result of projects facilitated by Draft 2045 CAP measures and actions, would, in flood hazard, tsunami, or seiche zones, risk release of pollutants due to Project inundation. The Project would also cause significant cumulative impacts to hydrology and water quality resources.

• Noise: The Project, as a result of projects facilitated by Draft 2045 CAP measures and actions, would: generate a substantial temporary or permanent increase in ambient noise levels in the vicinity of the Project in excess of standards established in the local general plan or noise ordinance, or applicable standards of other agencies; and generate excessive groundborne vibration or groundborne noise levels. The Project would also cause significant cumulative impacts on noise.

• Transportation: The Project, as a result of projects facilitated by Draft 2045 CAP measures and actions, would: conflict with an applicable program plan, ordinance or policy addressing the circulation system; and substantially increase hazards due to a road design feature (e.g., sharp curves or dangerous intersections) or incompatible uses (e.g., farm equipment). The Project would also cause significant cumulative impacts to transportation resources.

• Tribal Cultural Resources: The Project, as a result of projects facilitated by Draft 2045 CAP measures and actions, would: cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a tribal cultural resource, or of a resource determined by the County, in its discretion and supported by substantial evidence, to be significant pursuant to criteria set forth in Public Resources Code Section 5024.1(c). The Project would also cause significant cumulative impacts to tribal cultural resources.

• Utilities and Service Systems: The Project, as a result of projects facilitated by Draft 2045 CAP measures and actions, would: require or result in the relocation or construction of new or expanded water, wastewater treatment, stormwater drainage, electric power, natural gas, or telecommunication facilities, the construction or relocation of which could cause significant environmental effects; and result in a determination by the wastewater treatment provider which serves or may serve the Project that it has inadequate capacity to serve the Project’s projected demand in addition to the provider’s existing commitments. The Project would also cause significant cumulative impacts to utilities and service systems.

• ild re The Project, as a result of projects facilitated by Draft 2045 CAP measures and actions, would: substantially impair an adopted emergency response plan or emergency evacuation plan; require the installation or maintenance of associated infrastructure (such as roads, fuel breaks, emergency water sources, power lines or other utilities) that may exacerbate fire risk or that may result in temporary or ongoing impacts to the environment; and expose people or structures, either

directly or indirectly, to a significant risk of loss, injury or death involving wildland fires. The Project would also cause significant cumulative wildfire impacts.

HAZARDOUS MATERIALS RELEASE SITES

Various sites in unincorporated Los Angeles County are identified on lists enumerated under Section 65962.5 of the Government Code, including known contamination sites identified in the EnviroStor database that need further investigation (i.e., 149 school investigation and school cleanup sites, 165 state response sites, 18 federal Superfund sites, and 370 voluntary cleanup sites) and hazardous materials sites identified in the GeoTracker database as having the potential to affect groundwater quality (i.e., 7,528 leaking underground storage tank sites).

The memory of a missed shot hounded Malibu High Sharks boys basketball player William Caceres like a long-limbed and agile defender throughout the offseason last year.

Caceres missed a bucket late in the Sharks boys basketball team’s season-ending, double-overtime loss to Chaffey in the semifinals of the CIF State Boys Basketball Division V Championships last March. Caceres said the weight of missing the shot rode with him from the gym and until practices began for Malibu’s 2022-23 campaign.

“After I missed that game-tying shot, I made it a mission to be the best version of myself this year,” he recalled. “I put in a lot of work. I was the only returning starter from last year. I made a full commitment to be obsessed with basketball to give it all I got. I didn’t want to let anyone down. I love basketball.”

After raining down thousands of practice shots on various hoops, the 18-yearold senior got a shot at redemption on Feb.2.

Malibu was down two points in the final seconds of its season finale at Carpinteria. Caceres dribbled the ball down the court and passed the ball to a teammate, but then the ball found its way back to him at the 3-point line. After a dribble and step back, the guard pumped faked, and his defender jumped. Caceres flicked his wrist and watched as the ball swished through that net as the game-ending buzzer sounded, giving the Sharks a 41-38 victory.

Caceres is still amazed at his game-winning splash.

“I don’t know how I made that shot,”

The game-winner punctuated a standout season for Caceres. He averaged 19 points per contest in the Sharks’ 19game season and was the seven-team Citrus Coast League’s top scorer. (Caceres averaged 20 points a game in Malibu’s 12 matchups against CCL foes.)

He and teammate Lloyd Bema were named to the CCL’s All-League first team last week. Malibu’s Asher Katz was named to the second team.

Malibu girls basketball players also garnered league recognition. Hannah Kaloper and Casey Ovsiowitz were named to the All-League first team and Catherine McDonough was placed on the second team. Lauren Lapajne and Whitney Shanahan were honorable mention.

Sharks boys soccer players Takota Moore and Jace Kletter were named to the All-League second team in their sport, while Brian Perez, Travis Kies, and Romane Foulquier were honorable mention.

Malibu’s Jessa Kletter was named to the All-League second team in girls soccer.

Caceres was a second-team selection after his junior campaign.

“I wasn’t doing any of this for recognition,” Caceres said. “All the work I put in was to win. I’m really grateful to be on the team.”

Sutton, Malibu’s first-year coach, called Caceres a high-level shooter.

“Will is a fiery player,” he explained. “He’s a competitive player and he’s a gifted shooter. If he misses a couple of shots, he can get down on himself because he is a perfectionist. If he keeps his confidence high, he can shoot with the best of them.”

Caceres agreed with his coach.

“I’ve never been afraid of taking a shot,” he said. “When the stakes are

high, I rise up.”

Malibu finished the season with a 9-10 record. This year was Caceres’ best in high school.

Caceres was a standout scorer for Malibu’s junior varsity team his freshman year but did not play basketball his sophomore year. The Oxnard resident said the three-hour commute via multiple bus transfers — Oxnard to Thousand Oaks to Santa Monica to Malibu — was too difficult to manage.

The commute challenge and other complexities stretched into his junior year. Eventually, Caceres got a car and hoped to join the varsity basketball team, which was already in the midst of a winning season. Caceres and former Malibu head coach Richard Harris bumped heads about whether the player could join the team. Eventually, they mended their differences, and Caceres became a key contributor during the Sharks’ runs through two postseason tournaments.

“When he started playing, he had a passion for the game that was so sincere, so evident, so genuine that I instantly loved him as a player,” Harris explained. “He would dive into the wall for a ball. We would have to stop him from doing stuff like that so he wouldn’t hurt himself. Those are type of players every coach could use.”

Harris said Caceres’ hustle and shooting made Malibu a title contender.

“It seemed like he cared about basketball more than anything else in life,” he remembered.

Still, the missed shot haunted Caceres, so he committed himself to hoops last spring and summer.

Malibu started the season with a 1-4 record but found its footing in December’s Ojai Valley Classic.

Caceres nailed 11 3-pointers against Laguna Blanca in the opening round and tallied 21 points in the championship win over Thatcher.

He said the tournament title game was his best outing of the season because of the leadership he displayed.

“I didn’t score the most points or have the most rebounds,” Caceres noted. “When my team needed me the most, I stepped up that game — passing, bringing up the ball, defense — I feel very proud of myself for that game.”

Sutton said Caceres’ evolution as a leader strengthened throughout the season.

“He had to lead verbally and by example,” the coach stated. “We had our moments when it didn’t go smoothly, but it made him a better player and a stronger person.”

Caceres, who scored 32 points in Malibu’s senior night win over Fillmore, cherishes his senior and junior year basketball seasons.

“No one expected us to do well this year,” Caceres said. “We proved a lot of people wrong. As a team, we all left it out there on the floor. I know I did. Basketball is the love of my life.”
