Malibu City Council continues to consider options for new MCLE trailer

By JUDY ABEL Special to The Malibu Times

By EMMANUEL LUISSI Special to The Malibu Times

Malibu City Council directed sta to bring back a de nitive rec ommendation on how to proceed with the Malibu Community La bor Exchange permanent trailer project within three months.

e topic was discussed during the City Council Meeting on Oct. 10.

e discussion was based on a sta report that highlighted the challenges that the council would face if it proceeds with the perma nent trailer project.

e report also highlighted the current allocated funds for the project, as well as the amount of money that would still be needed to complete the project.

The council generally agreed that the MCLE should be accom modated with a new permanent trailer, but also decided that they did not have enough information to move forward with the project at this time.

Malibu Mayor Paul Grisanti said he believes the council has a responsibility in helping keep the MCLE operating, and believes the city should provide the MCLE with a more modern, permanent trailer.

“We have just got the wake up call that everybody gets when it’s time to build something and they suddenly realize that it costs mon ey,” Grisanti said. “We’ve skated on this one for the last 29 years, it’s time for us to grow up and do the right thing.”

There’s been an outpouring of grief over the tragic death of Moonshadows Restaurant owner Andrea Bullo and his teenage son. e two were killed on Nov. 1 after police say a speeding driver in a Toyota Camry plowed into the back of Bullo’s 1965 Mustang, causing both cars to erupt in ames. e 60-year-old Bullo and his 14-year-old son Marco died at the scene. eir car was fully engulfed. e alleged drunk driver, 21-year-old Kevin Gonzalez, survived the collision. He was given a eld sobriety test at the scene of the crash on Mulholland Drive at Valmar in Woodland Hills. Gonzalez has been charged with two counts of homicide and is being held on a $4 million bond. The restaurant world and Malibu locals have been expressing sympathy. “ is is a big loss for the community. He was so well loved,” longtime Malibu resident and realtor Felicia Da ara told e Malibu Times. e two were friends for more than 20 years. Da ara just had dinner with a friend at the oceanfront destination restaurant. “It’s one of our favorites.

He sat with us, and at the very end, he brought us chocolate cake.” Da ara was there to say goodbye to her friend who was moving to Australia, but ironically now says, “not knowing it was really Andrea’s goodbye.”

The popular restaurant was closed midweek last week as employees held a private vigil for

the man who was known as the spirit of the local gathering spot along with his beloved son. e two were described as close. Both loved soccer and other sports. Marco was known as a drummer with an outgoing personality. Bullo has been described as a “family man.”

The restaurant released a statement that read in part, “It is

with a heavy, heavy heart that the Bullo family and the Moonshadows family have to announce some very sad and tragic news.

“Andrea was an amazing person, a loving husband, and devoted father. He was a best friend to many people. People around the world. He loved each and every one of us… he took care and entertained

all as if they were his own family. He truly was a saint and truly an honorary gentleman.

“Marco was a bright young man with an even brighter future who made his mom and dad very proud, and his friends laugh. A personality as big as the moon. He was a beautiful 14-year-old boy taken

Sunny skies over the Malibu Half Marathon

By JUDY ABEL Special to The Malibu Times

There’s a reason the Malibu Half Marathon consistently sells out. e course along Paci c Coast Highway, beginning and ending at Zuma Beach, is one of the most scenic of all endurance runs. e 14-year-old race has become a bucket list or destination event for thousands of endurance athletes.

And as this reporter can attest, after completing at least a halfdozen Malibu Half Marathons, the weather is always spectacular. is past weekend’s event didn’t disappoint and brought out enthusiastic crowds to cheer on participants.

Taking rst place at Sunday’s 13.1-mile race was Brian Justie of Los Angeles with a winning time of 01:09:14. at’s a 05:18 minute pace. He was followed just seconds later by Shane Brouwer of Venice at 01:09:26. Justin Crichlow of Los Angeles placed third at 01:12:45.

In the female division Danae Dracht of Los Angeles took rst at 01:21:00; followed by Virginia Mercado, 01:21:48; and Sarah Rahon of Orange at 01:23:11.

This year, for the first time, athletes could register as nonbinary. e top three nishers were Nicholas Howard of Woodland Hills at 01:41:52, Myles Markham of Los Angeles at 01:55:26, and KR Rose of Los Angeles at 02:17:59.

Race Director Erica Segel commented, “One of our core values is providing a supportive

e Normalization of Political Violence

featured calls for hanging or injuring both the Speaker and the Vice-President. Republican Party leaders are promising a spate of Congressional investigations and even impeachments. is is dangerous territory for our country. Vindictive revenge is never a positive motivator for thoughtful policymaking.

LANCE SIMMENS OPINION COLUMNIST

So if you think that increasing talk about a potential civil war in this country is alarmist if not crazy, recent data and testimony before Congress suggests you might want to take more seriously the notion that we are in the midst of normalization of political violence. e shocking news that a person armed with a hammer broke into the home of Speaker Nancy Pelosi and used said instrument to fracture the skull of her 82 year-old husband must give pause to casually dismissing the profound acceleration of political violence that is currently gripping our democratic system of governance.

The mid-term elections shockingly featuring Republican candidates that are certified election deniers. Several actually participated in the January 6 coup on the US Capitol which

According to testimony o ered by Rachel Kleinfeld, a specialist in civil con ict at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, before the 1/6 Committee the threats to democracy are accelerating with Republican Party backing. She offers “somewhere between 20% and 40% of Americans would like a strongman leader who doesn’t have to follow the democratic rules… in 1973, in the midst of some of the worst years of the Troubles, one in ve people in Northern Ireland agreed that violence is a legitimate way to achieve one’s goals. Half a century later, a similar proportion of Republican voters in the US say that it is ‘justi ed to use political violence to accomplish political goals.”

Equally as concerning is that organized violence on the right is being committed by established community members and their behavior is a direct result of the Big Lie, namely that the 2020 election was stolen. According

and Democrats are more divided along ideological lines — and partisan antipathy is deeper and more extensive — than at any point in the last two decades.”

DON SCHMITZ OPINION COLUMNIST

From the Right Political violence in America is increasing, with extremists both liberal and conservative attacking the “other side.” Palatably political verbal abuse is increasing in our personal lives, when attackers can do so safely from their living rooms on social media. e ad hominem attacks, name calling, and belittling is rampant, from people that usually would never dream of speaking that way in person.

President Obama correctly stated, “the Internet and social media has helped isolate the American people and aided in perpetuating their own views, regardless of whether they’re true”.

e Pew Research Center found in 2014 that “When it comes to getting news about politics and government, liberals and conservatives inhabit different worlds”, concluding “Republicans

Letters to the Editor

Dear Editor, ank you for your article on Nov. 3 concerning the recent his toric agreement on the framework for uni cation which will lead to an independent Malibu Uni ed School District (MUSD) and an indepen dent Santa Monica Uni ed School District (SMUSD). While there still is substantive work to be done, this is a time to celebrate the hard work of the teams from SMMUSD and the City of Malibu that got us to this point. is is where the article both falls short and misses details of the progress that has been accom plished—as well as the agreed upon pathway for what lies ahead.

e article (and the reaction of the City Attorney and the quoted councilmember) fails to understand the impact of the agreed-upon framework. Yes, we have work left

to do as we stress-test our gures and validate our assumptions. But the revenue sharing formula—a prior point of contention—is fully expressed in the agreement. Ul timately, the tax revenue sharing agreement must be voted upon, but the formula is completed. It must only be validated. is was always the stumbling block in previous dis cussions, and why there is a reason to celebrate this agreement as it nally put forth an equitable nancial model for both sides.

e operational agreement and Joint Powers Agreement are not stumbling blocks but technical mechanisms to de ne the process. Right now, the remaining work left to do is for the protection of stu dents in both communities. We have the framework; we just need to en sure that we don’t harm or hamper future school boards and councils with our numbers, framework, and assumptions.

We are stridently divided, but more politically violent? Sadly, yes. Surveys over the past ve years show the numbers of Republicans and Democrats justifying political violence has risen from less than 10 percent to 20 percent. e good news is that 86 percent of us a rm that violence for political goals is unacceptable, yet 57 percent believe it will increase.

It’s taken time for us to devolve to this, and political violence ebbs and ows in America historically. The political brutality of our Revolutionary War included grisly torture, rape, murder, and economic deprivations between the loyalists and patriots. Similarly, political conflicts over slavery included burnings of homes, businesses, and hangings. Importantly, in both examples, the country boiled over into open warfare, which we must now avoid.

In the 1700’s free elections were but a dream and Americans, unwilling to genu ect to a monarch anymore after pleading, took up arms. We celebrate their bravery and our nation’s birth every 4th of July, but make no mistake, it wasn’t neatly con ned to soldiers

As the work proceeds in collab oration, now is a time for patience, not criticism or negativity. ere has been enough of that on both sides for years. Let’s accept victory. Our work isn’t nished. As they say of mountain climbing, when you reach the summit, you are only half way there. We have reached the prover bial summit and now are simply de scending. My deep thanks go out to the team from Malibu: Mikke Pierson, Karen Farrer, and (former ly) Rick Mullen as well, as the team from Santa Monica: Laurie Lieber man, Richard Tahvildaran-Jesswein, and myself, as well as the numerous sta members and consultants who contributed countless hours in this process. Let’s rise above the distrust and political posturing and nish our work for all the students in both communities.

Happy Veterans Day!

“ is nation will remain the land of the free only so long as

to a survey by the American Enterprise Institute Survey Center on American Life, community involvement on the right has been found to correlate with greater belief in conspiracies such as Stop the Steal and Q-Anon, as does church membership among white Evangelicals. is, according to Kleinfeld, tracks closely with the “demographic picture as Nazi extremism mainstreamed among regular Germans in the 1930s.” ese trends pose at least seven signi cant risks to our democracy:

1.Violence, intimidation, and harassment can be used for political gain.

2. Americans may be intimidated from political service, particularly women, parents, and minorities.

3.Elections risk becoming less free and fair and more prone to mistakes.

4. America risks losing public health workers and other critical functions.

5. Violence is likely to increase over time.

6. It is becoming less safe to exercise our freedoms of speech and assembly.

7. Paramilitary groups may become

and battle elds. We now have a time-tested Constitution, voting, and the rule of law, yet 54 percent of us think we will be less of a democracy in a generation, and 80 percent think civility in politics has worsened. What’s going wrong? Two things: irresponsible rhetoric of leaders, and us losing faith in our institutions. Both matters must be addressed urgently. Leaders need to speak responsibly again; recently President Biden called MAGA Republicans fascists, while Trump at a rally called the president an “enemy of the state.” Nancy Pelosi in June railed against the Supreme Court, characterizing it as “the GOP’s dark and extreme” super majority.

California congresswoman Sarah Jacobs openly supported political violence over the Supreme Court’s ruling on abortion. Predictably, a Simi Valley man was arrested outside Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s home in June in an assassination attempt. An angry Democrat hating Republicans for opposing Bernie Sanders’ policies ambushed congressmen practicing for their annual softball fundraiser. He called Republicans the Taliban of the U.S. and tried to murder them

a part of political life.

The statistics speak for themselves: threats against members of Congress are more that ten times as high as just ve years ago. From 902 threats investigated by Capitol Police in 2016, to 3,939 in the rst year of the Trump Administration, to 5,206 by 2018, 6,955 in 2019, 8,613 in 2020, and 9,600 in 2021.

White supremacist propaganda and organizing, as measured by the Anti-Defamation League has increased dramatically, openly white supremacist activity rose more than twelve-fold from 421 incidents in 2017 to 5,125 in 2020.

Casual talk and boisterous calls for a coming civil war must be taken seriously, particularly in light of the mounting stock of statistical data that threatens our democratic pedigree. e fact that there is little if any pushback from leaders in the Republican Party re ects a desire to support such actions in the name of securing power, a proposition that is profoundly antithetical to the foundational principles of the Constitution, it is anti-American and anti-democratic.

So if you think you don’t have a

all. Pelosi once threatened to punch out Trump should he ever come to the Capitol. I found the visual of Trump and Pelosi in a slap ght somewhat amusing, until a nut job broke into her home and beat her 82-year-old husband with a hammer last week. He was going to kill the speaker of the house. With a hammer. In her home, in San Francisco. He fractured the skull of an 82-year-old man. Completely and totally repulsive and unacceptable.

On the macro scale, the BLM riots of 2020, and the Trump supporters attacking our Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, expanded the political violence beyond individual acts of madness to social movements to create change and bend the will of opponents. Arson and murder became justi ed by a minority of the political parties, but a minority of millions, and we need to gure this out.

Reducing the inciteful politicians’ rhetoric won’t completely x the problem. Americans on both sides of the aisle feel angst on the election process, and the integrity of our legal system. Many Democrats believe the 2000 and 2016 presidential elections were stolen from them,

duty and responsibility to weigh in on this week’s election, think again. I have my opinions and they are expressed herein, however I would never presuppose that if you did not agree with me then I had the right and duty to declare you my enemy. As a former athlete I cannot even imagine respect for anyone who declares right up front that if they win the election it was fair, if they lose it is illegitimate. Such infantile logic or more appropriately the lack of coherence embodied thereof must be a wakeup call to all Americans that we are in the midst of a dangerous transformation to an autocratic state.

We must stop this transformation in its tracks for the sake of generations to come as well as the legacy that will mark our commitment to the concept of a peaceful transition of power, the hallmark to democracy.

while many Republicans believe the same about 2020. In our computer age, it is incomprehensible that we seem stymied to create a fraudproof election system with hard copy records that everyone can believe in. I still receive ballots at my house for people that haven’t lived in the state for years! Yes, there are historical hot buttons pertaining to voter ID, but consider this: It is either ballots or bullets, and if enough Americans believe that the system is rigged, they will ght. In the ‘60s and ‘70s, rioters burned cities, leaders were assassinated, soldiers shot college students, and the Weather Underground planted bombs. From Nixon to Carter, our divisions were deep. Yet by 1984, we healed, united, and reelected President Reagan with 49 states. We can heal again, respect each other, and love our amazing country, as violence only drives us apart.

We all have such great memories of two wonderful people. Always full of love and happiness.

We would like to offer full support to the Bullo family during this period of mourning. You are in our thoughts and prayers. e Bullo family are welcoming messages of condolence on the Moonshadows Facebook page.

A future announcement with details of the service will be available soon. Rest in peace, Andrea and

Marco. We love you, and you’ll be greatly missed by so many.”

Upon hearing the news last week, Chris Wizner, President and Chairman of the Malibu Pacific Palisades Chamber of Commerce, took time out of a women’s leadership luncheon for a moment of silence for the Bullo family. Wizner also wrote, “We recognize that when you look up at the stars, there are now two more beautiful stars in the sky, and they will remind us every day to never forget what beauty they brought to this life and community.”

Daffara mentioned Bullo was

looking forward to visiting his mother and family back in Italy. She’s heartbroken that won’t happen now and for the devastating loss to his family and many friends.

Authorities may look into whether Bullo’s vintage car, which may have lacked modern safety features along with its rear-located gas tank, may have hastened the tragedy.

Originally from Italy, Bullo bought the restaurant with another local, Franco Simplicio, in 2001. He was known to have friends from around the world. Marco was his only child. He is survived by his wife, Ira Soebroto.

By BEN MARCUS Special to The Malibu Times

At 4:32 a.m. early in the morning of Saturday, Nov. 5, a thief wearing a hood over a wig did signi cant nancial and emotional damage when he shattered a storefront window at Sea N Soul Surf—a shop at 29575 Paci c Coast Highway that opened June of 2022 in west Malibu.

Security cameras captured a sharp-faced man who looked a bit like T.E. Lawrence.

John Kozlowski is an emigre from New York who is partners in the shop with long time Malibu surfer/attorney Dave Olan.

Asked about the break-in, Kozlowski said, “It was only one person, a white male probably mid 50s in age. He threw a large rock through the glass door in the Board room area of our shop...the new expanded space because we expanded at the begin ning of October and now have two suites.”

e vandalism and burglary was discov ered by Dale Stark, the property manager, who arrived at the building early Saturday

morning to go to the gym. Kozlowski came down from the hills concerned and then distraught at the amount of damage and the losses, several surfboards— including foam boards, berglass boards, and Kozlowski’s own personal board that was located in the bathroom. Plus, many clothing items and jewelry, such as cashmere sweaters, eece hoodies, women’s bikinis, hats, and swim ns.

All of it on display and vulnerable in a stylishly-appointed shop that Kozlowski, Olan, and Kozlowski’s wife Erica invested a great deal of nancial and sweat equity into opening, “Erica and I have watched the masked robber over and over again today on the videos. It makes my stomach turn every time. He even took my own surfboard from the bathroom room. at makes it really personal and makes me believe this person has been in the shop and knew what he was looking to get. Plus, the person took their time. ey looted and left the store four times over the course of 40 minutes. Obviously not worried that they would be caught or if he did, no consequences would come from it.”

Kozlowski believes the thief was some

one who had visited the shop and knew the layout and knew what they were looking for, “I nd it very strange that they would take my own personal board from the bath room,” Kozlowski said.

Store security captured a clear image of the thief and all his movements. It is hoped that someone will recognize him, “In my opinion, he’s a very sinister-looking character,” Kozlowski said and, after seeing other security footage, believes two thieves were involved. Perhaps one was watching out for roaming security while the other looted the store.

Two days after the theft, a gloomy, rainy Monday wasn’t improving Kozlowski’s mood at all, “It’s really a gut-wrenching feeling of being violated. is, after all, is our livelihood. We have poured our hearts and soul into this place and try to treat everyone with such welcoming arms and do all within our abilities to build a busi ness that will support our family. We now nd ourselves waking up in the middle of the night to look at the live cameras in the store because we are worried this person will return to do it again.”

Kozlowski’s incomplete list included six

surfboards, women’s bikinis, two cashmere sweaters from Beryll, vintage French Work wear pants, upcycle vintage denim jeans from Transnomatica, a Rhode Dress, three pairs of Katin board shorts, an RRL sweater DaFin swim ns and other merchandise

“We still do not know the cost of replac ing the glass door,” Kozlowski said on that gloomy Monday. “ ey are coming later today to work on it. But the value of the merchandise is in the ve gures.”

ere is no such thing as petty theft, and the amount of damage plus the stolen merchandise is well over $950 and quali es this as Grand eft under California Penal Code Section 487 C—which can be a misdemeanor or felony punishable by up to three years in prison.

Hopefully, someone in the Malibu surf or thief community will recognize this person and inform the police—who will not cut o his hands but might chafe them a bit when they slam on the wrist bracelets and haul him o to jail.

As for the Kozlowski’s, the vandalism not only shattered the glass window but their sense of security, “We will be more cautious for sure, working on alarm system upgrades,

more cameras, etc... It’s unfortunate that this is the world we live in today. at said, I have to say the Malibu Community is ral lying around us and being very supportive. For that, we are extremely grateful.”

If anyone has any information about the break-in or the perpetrators, or the mer chandise, please contact Sea N’ Soul Surf at (424) 235-2430.

Center Way, where it has been since the early 1990s.

However, that location is now within the construction area of the Santa Monica College’s Mali bu Satellite Campus and the trailer is expected to be relocated by the time the campus opens in February.

There was a concern among council members that the time constraints of the relocation of the trailer would negatively a ect the quality of the new MCLE lo cation, regardless if it is temporary or permanent.

Councilmember Karen Farrer said the MCLE is an asset for the city and must be properly support ed in nding a solution for their trailer relocation.

“I don’t want to see us lose this because we’re so rushed,” Farrer said “I believe it is a valuable ser vice and I don’t want us to make a bad decision because we’re pushed for time.”

e City Council adopted Res olution No. 22-06 in January that approved the use of $15,000 in Community Development Block Grant funds for MCLE operation and $98,000 of Community De velopment Block Grant funds for a permanent trailer location.

Plans for the permanent trailer originally had it being relocated to the northwest corner of county property near the current location.

e understanding was that this would have been a simple pro curement project with no other requirements and a straight-for ward permitting process with SMC performing electrical and other site-related work.

However, challenges have since been identi ed that would poten tially extend project delivery time lines, require more money allocation and possibly stop operation of the MCLE trailer on County property.

e main challenges for the per manent trailer project are require ment of permits, requirement of a foundation for the trailer, the installation of a restroom and plumbing system, and addressing the trailer’s wastewater allocation.

The project would require a Coastal Development Permit with a variance to the city’s oor area ratio rules, as well as a Condition al Use Permit. e city will need a variance to add the trailer’s square footage to the county property.

e city would then need to con duct a geotechnical study to design and construct a foundation for the trailer. is is estimated to cost the city $75,000.

Next, the city would likely pur chase a trailer with a restroom, and a plumbing system would need to be designed and created to connect the trailer with the existing water and sewer lines on the property. is would cost the city an esti mated $480,000. is part of the project could also require approval

and coordination between SMC and the county.

e last issue would subject the new trailer to changes in waste water requirements, which would require the council to either trans fer wastewater allocations between neighboring properties in the as sessment district to allow for the county district to have the alloca tion to make up for the trailer or have the council reopen the assess ment district.

If the city decided to transfer wastewater allocations, a neigh boring property would allocate wastewater credits to the county property, but would likely require additional documentation of proof of transfer of allocation as well as a possible fee of use from the prop erty owner. e decision to trans fer wastewater allocations would likely require engineering and legal expertise at an estimated price of $10,000.

If the city decided to instead re open the assessment district, the county property could be allowed more wastewater allocation, but would likely require an addition al assessment payment associated with the county property at an estimated $20,000. Again, with this possible solution, expertise would be required at an estimated $10,000.

is solution could also create implications for other properties within the assessment district.

e sta report ultimately esti

mated the total costs of the project at $585,000.

Councilmembers expressed their desire to move forward with the project and discussed possible fundraising e orts but agreed that the sta must come forward with more information and a de nitive recommendation before the council makes a decisive decision.

Due to the time constraints from the SMC project, the council dis cussed possible temporary plans for the future of the MCLE. e pos sibility of a van or truck to tempo rarily take the place of the MCLE trailer was discussed, but Deputy City Manager Elizabeth Shavel son dismissed the idea by saying it would not be a practical solution.

Mayor Pro Tem Bruce Silver

stein said the council will wait on the sta recommendation and ex pects the city to move forward in securing a permanent trailer loca tion for the MCLE.

“I’d be in favor of doing some thing that’s right, that looks good, that’s well constructed, and is pro fessional looking where people could be comfortable and make our city look good,” Silverstein said. “Not something shabby, something done right, even if it does cost a little more than we’re talking about here.”

City sta and representatives of MCLE are now working togeth er to create a de nite plan for the permanent MCLE trailer.

MCLE Board President Kay Gabbard said she is pleased to be

working closely with Shavelson and the planning department and praised the city for their support now.

With the 29-year history of the MCLE, Gabbard hopes to contin ue to operate to the best of their abilities throughout this process and said she looks forward to con tinuing to support the community in their new permanent location.

“We hope to continue pro grams in our new facility, things like teaching English as a second language, teaching nancial skills, teaching CPR in Spanish, teaching emergency preparedness with help from the Malibu Foundation so we hope to have these programs in just a more permanent place,” Gabbard said.

Public Safety Commission meeting addresses re season, Woolsey Fire anniversary and MRCA proposal

el about the the Woolsey Fire and said the city has announced Nov. 9 as Malibu’s Annual Day of Pre paredness.

By SAMANTHA BRAVO Of The Malibu Times

During the long but productive Public Safety Commission meeting on Nov. 2, commissioners provided an update on the tow yard, re sea son, beacon boxes, and more.

For sta updates, Public Safety Director Susan Dueñas said she submitted a proposal for a tem porary impound yard at Malibu Middle and High School.

“In the past, there was always a problem with having access to the school from Labor Day to Memorial Day; they really didn’t want us there when school was in session,” Dueñas said. “ ey (the school) said they are willing to work something out so that we can use, probably the upper park ing lot.”

Dueñas said the school is making an e ort to make it work.

Dueñas also reminded the pan

“We encourage everybody to take at least one step, to be more prepared,” Dueñas said. “If ev erybody could do one thing, that would be great. No action is too small; it all adds up to be more prepared.”

Public Safety Liaison Luis Flores provided an update on the People Concern and said in the month of September, they were able to get eight people o the street, three people were permanently housed, one was temporarily housed, and one individual was relocated.

Malibu Fire Safety Liaison Gabe Etcheverry provided a thorough report and presentation on live fuel moisture and factors that in uence wild re risk and answered ques tions about the beacon boxes.

Public Works Director Rob De Boux provided an update on the weather and public works main tenance. DeBoux said he has had conversations with Caltrans to add bicycle safety features on PCH.

“Speci cally Westbound from

Malibu Canyon Road and going onto city limits,” DeBoux said. “We’re in constant communication and developing some strategies on how to improve safety for bicyclists around that area.”

Los Angeles Emergency Pre paredness Foundation Chairman and CEO Brent Woodworth pro vided an update on re and emer gency preparedness events the city held in September.

Dueñas also said the city is im proving its alert system.

Los Angeles County Fire De partment District 7 Community Service Liaison Megan Currier reminded the panel of a NOAA Radio Distribution at Malibu City Hall on Saturday, Nov. 12, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Currier said they have distribut ed around 400 radios to residents in Malibu but still have 400 who have registered who have not picked up their radios.

Residents can register before picking up their radios on Saturday. Register at bit.ly/LACORadio7.

Los Angeles County Fire Sec tion Chief Dan Murphy said they had around 2,700 ocean rescues

and 2,600 medical rescues for the year.

Malibu/Lost Hills Sheri ’s Lt. Dustin Carr provided an update on the tra c and safety.

Carr said there has been an in crease in residential burglaries.

e panel asked Carr how they can support the department with parking enforcement.

Malibu Volunteers on Patrol Team Leader Mark Russo pro vided an update on enforcement during the summer. Russo said there were 192 incidents with tra c collisions, 108 vehicle tows they assisted the sheri ’s depart ment with.

“We do what we can to help the sheri ’s department,” Russo said. “We were able to be called by dis patch and we were able to mobi lize in 15 to 20 minutes and be on scene and help deputies with tra c control, we have a rapid response component as well.”

DeBoux moved on to provide a report on the Mountains Recre ation and Conservation Authority (MRCA) proposal for the Mali bu Lower-Cost Accommodations Public Works Plan.

e Malibu Lower-Cost Ac commodations Public Works Plan serves as the plan for implement ing, operating, and managing a va riety of park facility improvement projects, public outreach programs and operation and management at the Malibu Blu s Open Space as well as operation and manage ment of the existing campground at Ramirez Canyon Park.

Malibu Blu s project elements would include:

Flame-less facilities (yurts, tent cabins, and tent pad sites); day-use facilities (parking, restrooms, land scaping, picnic areas, amphitheater, paths, management and interpre tive signage, and coastal overlook areas); trail improvements and signage on Beach to Blu s Trail; support facilities (ranger residence, medical building, o ce, and kitch en); fuel modi cation and vegeta tion management to reduce wild re hazards; pedestrian and vehicle bridges to provide access over site drainage and streams; water storage tanks; and re protection systems ( re hydrants and re extinguish ers).

Ramirez Canyon Park project

elements would include:

Flame-less facilities (tent pad sites); day-use facilities (parking, restrooms, landscaping, picnic ar eas, paths, management and inter pretive signage); fuel modi cation and vegetation management to reduce wild re hazards; and re protection systems ( re hydrants and re extinguishers). e project would require utility trenching and grading to install utility lines and improve existing trails.

Josh Spiegel expressed his con cerns but said it can be safe if it’s managed properly.

“If this thing is approved and we’re able to make it safe, I don’t really see a whole bunch of safety issues with someone making cof fee in the morning,” Spiegel said.

“And ultimately if it is approved, I don’t want to ruin some kids’ camp ing experience, I just want it to be managed properly if this thing is approved.”

Commissioners expressed similar concerns.

e commission motioned to ap prove the plan to the City Council.

e next Public Safety Commit tee meeting is scheduled for Dec 7.

Malibu’s Mona Kyle received the Women in Philanthropy Award for her many years of service in bringing education to children in Kenya. e longtime education advocate recently returned from volunteering in Africa. “The problem with writing checks or donating money is that, too oft , the philanthropy ends there. The check is entered into the checkbook with little more thought given to the person or organization that’s supposed to bene t from the gift.” She repeated a phrase heard in Kenya, “What more can I do?”

Paci c Palisades physician Dr.

Patricia McDermott was honored with the Women in Health Award for her 40 years of service locally. She apologized to those in attendance who she “had taken a COVID swab from,” adding a little levity to the program.

Ashley McCreary received the Andy Cohen Safety Award, named after the late Malibu resident who served on the city’s Safety Commission. McCreary works for security company International Protective Service.

“Security and law enforcement is mostly male,” she commented. “It’s a challenge, but it’s amazing.” e mother of three youngsters and cancer survivor said she’s lucky to show her girls

“strength and perseverance.”

A former Safety Award winner, Jennifer Seetoo, Captain of the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department Lost Hills station, gave an inspiring speech about her rise from Laker Girl wannabe to becoming the rst female captain at Malibu’s law enforcement agency, the LASD. Seetoo spoke about “unlocking your potential.”

Her humorous speech actually delved deep into the emotional roadblocks that can hold people back from developing their full potential in life. And she asked those in attendance an important question, “Are you mentoring our future generation?”

The Pacific Palisades

Community Service Award was given to Marissa Hermer, owner of the Draycott restaurant in Palisades Village. Hermer stepped up during the height of the pandemic with a GoFundMe titled, “You Give, We Cook, ey Eat.” She raised thousands of dollars in donations. Her sta was able to make meals for some of the most vulnerable during the coronavirus pandemic; rst responders, medical workers, and the elderly. Hermer personally delivered the meals to hospitals and wherever needed to help stressed out workers during their exhausting workloads.

e Malibu Community Service Award went to Siugen Constanza,

who has tirelessly worked for decades, often behind the scenes, for the bene t of children, the Latino community, senior citizens, and the community as a whole.

“I love to give back, and I love to make a di erence,” Constanza commented. “Malibu is a great community that always is there for each other.” She asked, “If we as adults aren’t role models for kids, where are they going to learn about it? Especially nowadays.”

Kelly Furano of Aviator Nation Dreamland in Malibu was awarded the Women Breaking Barriers Award for her entrepreneurship.

And the Lifetime Legacy Award was given to Ellen Shane, who created the Emily

Shane Foundation. Created in honor of her daughter, who was killed on Paci c Coast Highway 12 years ago, the foundation provides middle school students in underserved communities with individual tutoring and mentorship in Los Angeles and Ventura Counties.

It wasn’t all women at the celebration at Duke’s ursday. One of the many gentlemen in attendance was Mark Harwell of Harwell Brothers Construction who commented on supporting women, “I was raised by a single mother. She raised ve of us. It’s reinforcing the fabric of women and their importance in society and our family unit.”

When I was approached by Nike, who had been training a group of nonbinary athletes in LA for their rst half marathon at our event, it was clear what we needed to do. We’re excited to play a part in supporting the Queer, Trans, and gender-expansive community to safely pursue the sport.”

On Saturday, a 5K run was

held, with Malibu’s own Tallula Murphree taking first in the women’s division at 00:19:38 and Brad Durant of Camarillo placing rst for men at 00:17:01.

Also, of note in the 5K placing 4th overall was Malibu High School start Ranger Murphree followed by Hunter McCann, who placed 5th.

On Saturday, 130 kids, including dozens of Malibu students, competed in a kids’ race as part of the fundraising e ort for agship charity partner Boys & Girls Club of Malibu. One of the highlights

was Webster Elementary School Principal Tedd Wakeman, who ran dressed as a Yeti. He launched two challenges directed at parents: “I will donate $5 if you beat my time.

However, if I nish faster than you, you write a check for $50 to BGCM.” eir e orts, along with others, brought in a record donation this year, an estimated $55-60 thousand for the local club.

Another non-pro t, Girls on the Run LA, raised roughly $15,00 through the races.

One runner who grew up in Malibu but now lives in Santa

Monica returned to his hometown for the race. Michael Jacobson, 26, commented, “This was my first Malibu Half Marathon. e weather was perfect, and the scenery unmatchable. ousands of friendly faces gathered, and it was a blast to run along such a beautiful route. A special shout out to the volunteers. ey saved me with some energy gel and water around mile 10.”

is year’s race was dedicated to one of its cofounders, the late Alberto Perusset. “He believed in people,” Segel said. “He believed

in enjoying running, not as a competitive activity, but for the joy of the community that’s around runners and walkers. We want to create that community that’s inclusive, accessible to all ages, all sizes, that’s family-friendly. Every year Alberto would be handing out medals at the nish line until the very last runner crossed. He used to say, ‘ e last runners are the ones who need the most support, so I’m going to be there and put the medals around their necks.’”

In all, over the weekend of activities, 4600 people ran the

various races. Some runners completed a challenge to run both the 5K and half marathon.

Segal concluded, “My mission is to provide an event that serves the Malibu community rst, that provides an opportunity to get together as a community, to care for one another, to inspire our youth to do a really positive activity outdoors, and to open our doors to out-of-towners to experience the beauty of Malibu which starts with the people of this community. ey make it even more beautiful. is is why we all love Malibu.”

“Our foundation’s Wine Pairing Evening at the Strange Family Vineyard’s Tasting Room was such a warm, positive and lovely fundraising event,” Emily Shane Foundation Founder Ellen Shane said in an email to e Malibu Times. “All who came enjoyed the delicious spread of cheeses, fruit, nuts, charcuterie, and other delights along with some truly terri c wines.”

Pepperdine

University students present free guitar concert at Malibu Library

By JIMY TALLAL Special to The

For anyone who loves guitar, the free concert given at the Malibu Library last Friday (Nov. 4) was a real oppor tunity to enjoy seeing and hearing three solo guitar performances by talented Pepperdine University music students in a small, inti mate setting.

e performers were all music majors at Pepperdine University with an emphasis on classical (acoustic) guitar. eir musical selections ranged from Spanish-style to classical and more modern pieces composed over the past 200 years.

e concert began with an introduction to the classical/acoustic guitar instrument and its features; including how musicians are able to get a variety of sounds from the strings. For a classical guitarist, it’s not just a matter of getting the notes right, there’s the added complication of playing the notes with the correct sound. Plucking the note near the “hole” of the guitar versus near the bridge changes the sound. e sound also changes if strumming with the pad of the thumb, the top of the ngernail, or the side of the ngernail. ere are techniques for muting the sounds, playing bell-like tones or “drumming.”

e featured guitar played by the soloists

was a Jose Ramirez guitar from Spain that sells for over $10,000; made of Brazilian rosewood on its back and sides, and cedar on the top.

e Pepperdine Classical Guitar Depart ment, headed by Christopher Parkening, 74, Distinguished Professor of Music, put on the concert as part of its community outreach e orts.

“In training future generations of guitar ists at Pepperdine University, it’s my goal to emphasize the importance of playing with beauty, warmth, and lyricism,” said Parken ing, a former protégé of the great Spanish guitarist Andrés Segovia.

Pepperdine is one of only about 15 universities in the U.S. that o er a music

program with emphasis in classical guitar, and Parkening is one of its most renowned instructors.

He’s performed at the White House and appeared on “20/20,” “ e Today Show,” “ e Tonight Show,” “Good Morning America,” and e Grammy® Awards. He was a concert guitarist for nearly 40 years, recorded over 20 albums with EMI/Capitol Records and Sony, been nominated twice for a Grammy®, and played with every ma jor orchestra in the U.S.

Parkening grew up in LA and started playing the guitar at age 11, inspired by his cousin Jack Marshall, a sta guitarist at MGM Studios. At age 15, he received

A-List local and hot costar back a er vaycay

By Kim Devore, Entertainment Editor

They are two of the most beloved and bankable stars in Hollywood. Now, the beauty with her megawatt smile, Julia Roberts, and serious ly sexy co-star George Clooney are taking o once again. e undeniable stunning couple are teaming up once again in a new, sure-to-please ick called “Ticket to Paradise.”

e collaboration came in an informal conversation after both received scripts at the same time, and the two were on the phone minutes later. “You up for it?”

Clooney inquired. “I guess so,” said Roberts. “You?” “If you are. I am.” And the deal was sealed. Julia and George mean box o ce gold, let alone a feast for the eyes.

Believe it or not, this is Julia’s rst rom-com in 20

years and her sixth collaboration with Clooney. Put the two together and you have movie magic.

In this latest celluloid endeavor, they play an edgy, divorced couple who end up in the same airline row on the way to their daughter’s impending wedding. Laughs and sabotage ensue.

In real life, Julia shares 17-year-old twins Phinnaeus and Henry with lensman Danny Moder while George gets in on the baby fun with 5-year-old twins Ella and Alexander with human rights advocate Amal Clooney.

Julia’s career is as unique as her high cheekbones. She went from dishwasher to superstar in the ultimate chick ick “Pretty Woman.” e lm was a blockbust er grossing $454 million. For Julia, the work just kept on coming: lms like “My Best Friend’s Wedding,” and “Runaway Bride.”

Next came a show of her serious side in “Erin Brockovich,” which earned her an Academy Award.

The election results are in, but since this column was submitted before Election Day, I don’t have a clue who won. I could have waited an other week to le this column, but I think the content would have been the same regardless of the results, so why delay.

Since there were ve candidates for two openings on the City Council, I have to assume that two people won and three did not. is is the kind of critical thinking I learned at an elite Ivy League college.

Notice that I did not say three people lost. As the winners move forward and devote countless hours to helping our city, they will be subjected to an in nite amount of abuse by those people who will not always agree with them. is is what awaits public servants in the world we live in today. ose who did not win might come to wonder why they ever sought a seat on the council in the rst

student performs one good deed per session with their mentor/tutor.

“Having a support system, some one who was in university, was the inspiration to pursue higher educa tion,” Shane said. “She has graduated from UCLA.”

e SEA Program mentors and tutors are all university students or recent graduates.

“We are grateful to all who came to support us,” Shane added.

Everyone can still support their work by participating in their online silent auction, which ended on Tues day, Nov. 8, and their Student Spon sorship Campaign that goes on until the end of November. e Student Success Sponsorship Campaign al lows the foundation to serve as many underserved children in need of the SEA Program as possible. Any and all amounts go directly to this work.

Shane said before the event began she met local Malibu realtor Shen Schulz who said their sons knew knew the late Emily Shane.

“We had never met him before,” Shane said. “He told us that his sons knew Emily, and related very touch ing accounts of the person she was; and how kind and friendly she was to everyone.”

place and, in retrospect, may even think of themselves as the winners.

For those two candidates who got the most votes and are willing to sacri ce their time and energy to make Malibu a better place, I wish you a hearty “mazel-tov.” I thank you ahead of time for your public service. I know you love Malibu and only wish to make it a better place.

Below is some unsolicited advice (all my advice is unsolicited and rarely fol lowed):

1. Don’t forget you represent all the peo ple, not just those who voted for you.

2. Set the example for civility. Disagree without being disagreeable.

3. Compromise is not a dirty word.

4. Do not question the motivation or in tegrity of those people who disagree with you.

5. All matters are not life and death issues. Black and white are not the only colors.

Try to smile or even laugh occasional ly. We are all neighbors, and we all love Malibu. Good luck to you.

As for Clooney, he started o on television, eventu ally working his way up to the role of hospital hottie Dr. Doug Ross in the hit series “ER.” e small screen led to the big screen with movies like “Leatherheads” and “Oh Brother Where Art ou?” He made his directorial debut with his spy thriller “Confessions of a Dangerous Mind.” He’s since directed the historical drama “Good Night and Good Luck” among others. He received the Academy Award for the politi cal thriller “Argo.” He has also served as one of the United Nations Messengers of Peace. He is noted for his political and economic activism and won the prestigious American Film Institute Lifetime Achievement Award.

It may not be a romantic comedy, but George and Julia have been seen in theaters in the heist series “Ocean’s Eleven.” So if their new lm is a sensation or a snub, “Ticket to Paradise” should be an ocean full of fun.

a scholarship to perform at Segovia’s rst U.S. master class at UC-Berkeley. At age 19, he signed with Capitol Records for a series of albums, and was then asked to start the guitar department at USC. e following year, he signed with Columbia Artists Management and began a worldwide concert tour of the U.S., Canada, Europe, and Asia; performing over 90 concerts a year.

Eventually, he ended up at Pepperdine University in 2002 as founder of the Classical Guitar Department. e program started with just a few guitar majors enrolled in private lessons, but has now expanded to both majors and minors. Pepperdine currently o ers a BA degree in music with an emphasis in classical guitar, ac credited by the National Association of Schools of Music (NASM).

In 2014, Pepperdine University was ranked No. 1 among “ e Ten Very Best Colleges for Classical Guitar Performance” by Music School Central.

Each semester, classical guitar majors participate in weekly studio classes and a master class with Parkening, private lessons with visiting professor Wesley Park, a recording session at a professional studio in LA, Group Guitar Classes (open to all Pepperdine stu dents), and a core curriculum of classes.

In 2006, the Parkening International Guitar Competition was founded at Pepperdine, and is now considered to be the most prestigious classical guitar competition in the world. It honors Parkening’s lifetime commitment to fostering musical excellence in young artists as demonstrated by his own mentor, Segovia. e winner receives a cash prize of $30,000 and a life-changing title. e contest takes place on the Pepperdine campus once every four years.

In 2015, Parkening told Classical Guitar magazine that, “It had long been my vision for there to be a world-class guitar competition equal to the great piano and violin competitions.”

“Ticket to Paradise” co-stars Julia Roberts and George Clooney.

to be inducted into Southern California Basketball Hall of Fame

Romar became the Waves coach for the rst time after UCLA’s championship. He coached Pepperdine for three seasons until the 1998-99 campaign. Pepperdine won 17 and 19 games in the coach’s second and third seasons. e 1999 squad quali ed for the NIT postseason event.

Romar then coached at Saint Louis University for three seasons. He led the team to a conference champi onship and the NCAA Tournament in 2000.

By MCKENZIE JACKSON Special to The Malibu Times

Pepperdine

Now, the respected coach and former NBA player is a few dribbles away from being in the Southern California Basketball Hall of Fame.

e hoops organization announced last week that Ro mar, who will turn 64 on Sunday, was one of 16 Southern California basketball greats elected for its 2022 class.

Romar was working in his o ce at Pepperdine when Mike Sondheimer, the executive director of the hall of fame, called and told him he was set to be inducted. Romar, who is in his second stint as the Waves coach, said the moment was surreal.

“It was humbling,” he said. “It was, ‘Stop for a second and think about that.’ I’ve looked at inductees and those are people I have watched, admired, appreciated, and learned from.”

e coach was an assistant on the sta of Jim Harrick, a 2020 inductee, at UCLA. Romar also recruited NBA great Paul Pierce, a fellow member of the 2022 class, when he was a high school star.

“’Wow, this is really happening,’” Romar said, still re calling his initial reaction to learning he was going to be a hall of famer. “ is is a special group. Its quite an honor.”

e Pepperdine team congratulated Romar on the honor during a recent lm session.

e Southern California Basketball Hall of Fame is a nonpro t that honors legendary basketball players and coaches and also supports youth basketball through charitable donations. e hoops body covers the region from Los Angeles to San Diego and Inland Empire to Santa Barbara.

e other 2022 inductees with Romar and Pierce are Bill Armstrong, Stacey Augmon, Mitchell Butler, Jay Bilas, Michael Cooper, Keith and Nicole Erickson, Da vid Greenwood, Ebony Ho man, Andre and Eugenia

Miller,

e group is a combination of former high school, college, and NBA players and winning coaches. Romar has stepped on the basketball court as all four. e focus of his time on the hardwood has never been to be a hall-of-famer though.

“I never played the game saying, ‘I’ve got to make the NBA or the hall of fame,’” Romar said. “I just love bas ketball. I’m obsessed with the game. You picture yourself playing at the highest level because you love it.” at love of the game got him through times when his basketball life wasn’t as easy as an open layup. Romar was cut from the varsity and junior varsity teams his freshman and sophomore years at Verbum Dei Jesuit High School in Los Angeles. Romar’s love for hoops wasn’t dampened though; in fact, he’d often watch the varsity squad practice.

“I’d listen to every word the coach said,” Romar re called. “He wasn’t talking to me at all, but I’d listen.”

He nally made a varsity squad after a growth spurt — from 5-foot-9 to 6-foot-1 — and his family’s move sent him to Pius X High School in Downey.

Romar played point guard for two seasons, but didn’t receive any scholarship o ers from big-time universities, so he went to Cerritos College in Norwalk.

Romar was on the two-year school’s basketball team his freshman year, but he didn’t play. After the season, the squad’s coach, Bob Foster, approached the teenage Romar and told him not to get discouraged and gave him a job working in the gym.

Romar swept the gym’s oors, organized the snack bar,

and made sure all the facility’s equipment was function ing so o season games could take place. He also practiced and improved his game. Romar was a starting guard for Cerritos the next season and the team’s MVP.

at led to him being recruited by and joining the team at the University of Washington.

Romar, who grew to be 6-foot-2, won the team’s Most Inspirational Award in his junior and senior seasons. He averaged 9.3 points a game his last collegiate year. He was selected in the seventh round of the 1980 NBA Draft by the Golden State Warriors, and also laced up his high tops for the Milwaukee Bucks and Detroit Pistons during his ve seasons as a pro.

Romar joined Athletes in Action, a sports ministry, after the 1984-85 NBA season. He played with the Christian organization for seven seasons and was also a player-coach. Romar then became an assistant coach under Harrick at UCLA for four seasons. e team won the NCAA Tournament crown in 1995.

Romar never thought about coaching as a player, but now realizes the coaching bug bit him in the early quar ters of his hoops life.

He liked teaching basketball to kids and as a college player, Romar enjoyed organizing pickup basketball games. He had the phone numbers of all the top players in the Los Angeles area and of coaches and custodians — anyone that could open the doors to a gym.

“I could get a full-court game going,” Romar said. “ at’s recruiting, that’s organizing, and bringing people together. It was always in me to do things that coaches do. I just never thought about coaching until I was with Athletes in Action.”

Romar returned to his alma mater, Washington, before the 2002-03 season. He coached there for 15 seasons.

At Washington, Romar won three conference coach of the year awards, was named the Black Coaches Asso ciation’s Coach of the Year in 2005, averaged almost 20 wins a season, and coached 14 players that were picked in the NBA Draft. He led Washington to two regular season conference titles and three conference tournament championships. Romar’s Washington squads played in six NCAA Tournaments, three National Invitation Tournaments and one College Basketball Invitational.

Romar was the associate head coach at the University of Arizona for one season after he left Washington. He then returned to Pepperdine as the team’s head coach before the 2018-19 season tipped o .

Romar recorded his 400th coaching victory when the Waves beat San Diego on Jan. 12, 2019. He coached Pepperdine to its rst postseason championship in 27 years, the CBI title, the next season.

So far, the highlights of his basketball life have been winning the NCAA crown and being selected in the NBA Draft, Romar said.

He is one of four current Waves coaches that are hall of fame members. Pepperdine women’s golf coach Laurie Gibbs is in the Women’s Golf Coaches Association Hall of Fame and baseball coach Rick Hirtensteiner is in the Pepperdine Athletics Hall of Fame as a player. Men’s water polo coach Terry Schroeder is in the CoSIDA Academic All-America Hall of Fame, International Swimming Hall of Fame, and U.S. Water Polo Hall of Fame. He is also in the Pepperdine Athletics Hall of Fame as a player.

Romar and the other 2022 Southern California Bas ketball Hall of Fame inductees will be recognized at a ceremony in the fall of 2023 with the hall’s 2023 class.

e nonpro t’s 2020 and 2021 selections are set to be honored at an event next May.

Being called a hall of famer, Romar, said is something he is going to have to get used to.

“ ose type of honors our for other people I watched and admired,” he said. “It’s still a pleasant surprise for me. I want be known as someone that was a hard worker and who used the game to help others.”

Waves men’s basketball head coach Lorenzo Romar’s basketball life tipped o with him dribbling and shooting on the playground at Our Lady of Victory Catholic School in Compton as a 10-year-old.
