Malibu community honors victims of road traffic for World Day of Remembrance Ghost tires placed to honor four Pepperdine students, also known as ‘Our Girls’ to the community

By SAMANTHA BRAVO Of The Malibu Times

O n N o v. 1 9 , Wo r l d Remembrance Day, 58 white tires, each representing someone who died in a traffic collision on Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu, were installed on PCH and Webb Way. After four Pepperdine students were killed in a violent crash last month, loved ones called for safer conditions on the highway.

Deslyn W illiams, Niamh Rolston, Asha Weir, and Peyton Stewart, also referred to as “Our Girls,” by their loved ones, were killed in the accident that occured on Oct. 17.

The PCH Taskforce and Streets are for Everyone organized the vigil on Tuesday night and Sunday morning, and family and friends of the Pepperdine students signed their white tires with their names.

The Ghost Tire Memorial was inspired by the Ghost Bike (also referred to as a Ghost Cycle or White Cycle), a bicycle roadside memorial placed where a cyclist has been killed or severely

injured, usually by the driver of a motor vehicle.

Damian Kevitt, executive director and founder of Streets are Safe for Everyone, said while the installation is usually displayed at the scene of the

incident, it was too dangerous to place the tires where the four girls were killed.

“PCH is too dangerous; we actually couldn’t place it at the location because it was far too dangerous to have this happen

at the location where these four young ladies were killed,” Kevitt said.

There have been 58 fatalities on PCH since 2010.

“We’re starting in 2010 because on the 3rd of April 2010, 13-year-

old Emily Shane lost her life on PCH, and since then, her family has been fighting for change on PCH,” Kevitt said.

Kevitt introduced Ellen Shane to be the first speaker.

Dick Van Dyke: A legacy of laughter and joy

Photography exhibit by Laura Johansen opens at the Malibu City Hall Art Gallery

By BARBARA BURKE Special to The Malibu Times

The mood was festive and the Malibu City Hall had never been so crowded as excited fans and friends awaited the arrival of Malibu’s favorite patriarch, Dick Van Dyke, for the opening reception on Nov. 19 for “Moments in Time,” a dazzling array of lively portraits by photographer Laura Johansen. The event featured a live musical performance by A Call 2Peace followed by a question and answer session with Johansen and Arlene and Dick Van Dyke.

As one enters the exhibit, they see images of Van Dyke the performer;

Van Dyke, the prankster; Van Dyke and his family.

There’s a wonderful image of him celebrating his 90th birthday at Disneyland, and intriguing images include one wherein he and David Copperfield are casually chatting at the Academy of Magical Arts awards. When one leans closely in to carefully view that one, he realizes that the reflection in the mirror behind Van Dyke and Copperfield is that of one Pee Wee Herman.

The whole exhibit is fun and depicts images that evoked childhood memories for many attendees — memories of more delicate times when families gathered around the television and went to the movies, often to view Van Dyke dancing and prancing and pranking across the stage in classic after classic, singing tunes that are ingrained in people’s memories — memories of fun and CONTINUED ON PAGE A9

Possible Dark Sky amendments trigger objections from ordinance supporters Subcommittee members hold meeting, tell of ‘consistent difficulties’ with compliance

By BARBARA BURKE Special to The Malibu Times

Malibu’s Dark Sky Ordinance (Malibu Municipal Code [MMC] Chapter 17.41) enacted in October 2018, was passed to provide standards for commercial, residential, institutional, and gas

station property owners to address light pollution while still allowing for the safety of those needing to be present on properties.

Other underlying purposes of the dark sky ordinance were to allow Malibuites to view the night sky in alignment with the city’s goals of preserving coastal resources and maintaining its unique rural character and to promote wildlife habitation and migration by minimizing light pollution into and adjacent to habitat areas.

On Aug. 22, 2022, the City Council amended the Dark Sky Ordinance to allow a lesser light trespass standard for gas stations onto the public right-of-way. The City Council also extended the compliance deadline to Oct. 15, 2022 for commercial, residential and institutional owners.

When it comes to compliance, things have gone slowly.

First Thanksgiving Feast Remembered

In our annual tradition, we look back at the Pilgrims’ first feast in America

By JODY STUMP Special to The Malibu Times

T

Veterans saluted and honored at 24th annual ceremony ‘Legacy of Generations of Service’ highlights veterans throughout our natiton’s military history

Sheriff ’s sergeant: ‘Zero tolerance’ approach to speeding on PCH The City of Malibu held a PCH Taskforce meeting on Tuesday, Nov. 14, with city, county, and state officials, as well as Caltrans

he first Thanksgiving was meant to be a simple recreation of a traditional English harvest festival, celebrated on Sept. 29 in the Pilgrims’ homeland.

But the colonists got more than they hoped for that first feast.

The year 1621 had been a challenging one for the colonists. That winter, more than half the colony had died of influenza and, in the summer, un-Christian-like squabbles over sharing crops had destroyed whatever communal harmony had survived. In the fall, Plymouth Colony Governor William Bradford privatized and subdivided the cornfields. Then, he negotiated a peace treaty with the local Native Americans who had taught them to grow the life-saving grain. And, he invited Wampanoag Chief Massasoit to dinner.

The Algonquin tribes, of which the Wampanoag was one, celebrate five planting festivals per year, so Chief Massasoit knew just what to expect — a joyous three full days of dining, singing, dancing and playing dozens of games.

Fortunately for the Pilgrims, Algonquin festivals are potluck.

The native people brought most of the food to that first feast: Five deer, many turkeys and wild swans, smoked salmon and fresh

cod, beans of all sorts, corn pudding, maple sugar candy, and an assortment of berries. There were no pigs in the colony in 1621, so there was no ham and that staple of Southern celebrations, sweet potatoes, don’t grow this far north — so don’t even think about the marshmallows.

Pilgrims had no cows to milk, so cream was out of the question, but it wouldn’t have mattered. They had not yet constructed ovens so there were no pies to top with swirls of whipped cream. As for the cranberries, which grew wild in the bogs all around them, the Algonquin called them ibimi, or “bitter berry,” and used them medicinally to treat infections and as a dye for rugs and blankets. They never ate them. Since the Pilgrims had used up all the sugar brought from England, they probably followed the natives’ example and ate stewed apples with honey instead.

On both sides of the Thanksgiving table, dining habits were remarkably similar. They ate whatever was nearest at hand. In the 17th century, no one took a “boardinghouse reach,” nor were plates passed among polite society — Pilgrim or Wampanoag.

Neither Pilgrims nor Indians used forks and most food was torn apart and eaten with fingers. The Native Americans washed their hands before dinner and then licked them clean of morsels as they dined.

They must have been bemused by an odd colonial habit. The English held onto large scraps of fabric into which they wrapped their fingers before grabbing bits of meat from

Malibu’s Award-Winning Community Paper Since 1946

From the publisher

HAYLEY MATTSON “During the holidays, the empty chair at our table serves as a poignant reminder that love transcends time and distance, and our missing loved ones continue to live in our hearts and cherished memories.”

A

s we approach the holiday season, our hearts are undoubtedly filled with anticipation, joy, and gratitude. However, it is essential to acknowledge that not everyone will be celebrating with the same sense of happiness this year. Some families will be navigating their first Thanksgiving without their beloved daughters, and their heavy hearts serve as a reminder of the deep impact of recent tragedies on Pacific Coast Highway (PCH).

This past weekend, our community came together to honor the lives lost on PCH, offering solace to the grieving families. We gathered at the white tire memorial placed on Webb Way, a poignant symbol of remembrance. It is a time when we reflect on the lives cut short and the immense void left in the hearts of those left behind.

As we embark on this holiday season, let us hold these grieving families close to our hearts and keep

them in our thoughts. We must recognize that the coming months will be particularly challenging for them as they navigate their first holiday season without their girls.

We want to extend our heartfelt gratitude to Ellen and Michel Shane for their tireless efforts in keeping the issue of PCH safety at the forefront of our community’s concerns. Over the years, their precious daughter Emily’s tragic loss has inspired them to advocate for change, and we pledge our continued support to their cause until we see significant change.

This Thanksgiving, as we gather with our loved ones, let us remember those who are missing someone dear to them. Let us be thankful for the time we have with our family and friends and strive to make our community safer for everyone. From all of us here at The Malibu Times, we wish you and your loved ones a happy Thanksgiving.

the stew. They ate from the midst of this big cloth wad and then crumpled up the greasy napkin back on their laps.

Children were seen, of course, but they never ate with adults, Pilgrim nor Wampanoag. Instead, they served them.

Children were also tasked with turning. Tender haunches of meat were roasted on a spit that needed constant attention and it was the job of young boys to keep dinner from burning. Chewier cuts of the carcass were thrown into big pots with dried beans and simmered for days in dirt pits. The flavors might have surprised those of you who think English food is bland.

Pilgrims loved spices and added all they could find to soups and stews: Cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg, ginger, and every kind of dried fruit and nut were tossed into the pot.

It would be nice to say that this three-day food fest was the first annual rite of camaraderie between the tribes who lived on the land and the strangers who came to share it, but history betrays that sweet sentiment and the truce did not hold — rather, it was followed by years of turmoil and bloodshed, almost entirely at the hands of European settlers.

Still, one of the first acts of Congress was to set aside a “day of public thanksgiving and prayer”

to thank God for blessing America.

Seventy-five years later, President Lincoln made it official: “I do therefore invite my fellow citizens in every part of the United States [to unite with one heartfelt voice] ... and observe the last Thursday in November as a day of thanksgiving.”

The day was moved to the fourth Thursday in November in 1941 for an economic boost — to expand the Christmas shopping season.

A call for change to prevent tragedies on PCH

visitors and residents alike from across the globe. However, this beauty should not come at the cost of human lives. The sharp curves, limited visibility, and high-speed limits in certain sections of PCH create a dangerous combination that has claimed too many lives. It is imperative that we prioritize the safety of all who travel this route.

I implore the City of Malibu, the State of California, and Gov. Newsom to work collaboratively to address this pressing issue. While it is important to preserve the natural beauty of this region, we must also prioritize the safety of our residents and visitors.

This can be achieved through various means, including: 1. Implementing stricter speed limits and more frequent speed enforcement.

2. Enhancing road signage and visibility at critical junctures.

3. Conducting safety assessments and engineering improvements for hazardous sections of PCH. 4. Promoting public awareness campaigns about safe driving on PCH.

5. Increasing funding for emergency response and rescue services in the area.

Malibu BGCM hosts grand opening of ‘Third Space’ A percentage of all store purchases benefit the Boys & Girls Club of Malibu

By SAMANTHA BRAVO Of The Malibu Times

Two years in the making, the “Third Space” project of the Boys & Girls Club of Malibu has opened its doors to the Malibu community.

Situated in the Malibu Village, Third Space is a storefront, gallery, and innovation space for youth to be mentored and inspired.

Malibu BGCM family, friends, and Malibu High School alumni attended the grand opening on Thursday, Nov. 16, to see the space unfold.

“We have a beautiful board who have been on this journey with us for the last two years to talk about what is this space, what are we aiming for, what are we trying to achieve for our community and our youth,” Boys & Girls Club of Malibu Chief Executive Officer Kasey Earnest said. “We also have an amazing team of Boys & Girls Club staff members, they also have gone on this amazing journey for the last two years to create what Third Space is and you will see reflected in the store and various different space, maybe through representation through vendors, or just the own touches they put in the store, their impact.”

First space is home, second space is work/school and the “Third Space,” is considered a place to care, connect and create.

Earnest was excited to welcome the artists and their families and friends to this space.

“It’s been two-plus years, with a lot of ideation and a lot of brains of what this space should be, so it feels really good to get kids in here, workshopping and innovating,” Earnest said. “When I came to them [board members] a few years ago with this idea, they were all very excited; it took a lot of time because we relied on a lot of support from the community.”

The gallery will host brands, products, entrepreneurs, and artists to facilitate an exchange with youth through workshops, events, and mentorship.

“It is a retail store, a gallery and innovation space, but it is part of our organization and our values that show up in our club house will also show up here at the store,” Earnest said.

Thursday’s ribbon-cutting ceremony spotlighted young entrepreneurs, Malibu BGCM alumni, Malibu High School alumni, and local artists.

Earnest thanked her partners and board members for attending

the ceremony and also acknowledged parent Jose Alvarez for helping with the project.

“It didn’t feel like work, I just felt like I had to help because they helped me so much through

my hard times with my kids, I have four, some of them went through college, and it’s all thanks to them [BGCM],” Alvarez said.

“I’ve been in the community for about 35 years and as soon as

they [Malibu BGCM] opened at the high school, I can count on them. It was a secure place for my kids to be there, it’s hard to describe how important the Malibu [BGCM] is. It makes me so

happy that I can help.”

Multi-media artist and Malibu High School alumnus Austin Daniels has abstract acrylic paintings, art pieces and surfboards on display at the gallery.

“I’m excited to have artwork here, I’m excited to teach the kids. There’s a really cool printer here so that means we can directly print photos onto T-shirts, so it’s going to be really special,” Daniels said. “I’m happy to give back to the kids; the Malibu community is so tight and it’s gone through a lot since I’ve grown up here in Point Dume. I love it.”

2016 Malibu High School graduate Arielle Ross, who was also featured in The Malibu Times earlier this year, had her new makeup line, called Relevation, on display at the gallery.

“It really does feel like a sense of community to be around so many different entrepreneurs doing amazing things, and Malibu has always been a root for me, a place where I always come back and I feel really grateful to have our first retail experience be in Malibu and be with all these entrepreneurs,” Ross said. “To be able to work with a company that does good in this world and have a positive impact is the best thing I could possibly ask for; the Boys & Girls Club has been so impactful for me and my upbringing, and being a part of it has been an important part of my childhood that to be able to impact the kids in the BGCM is really special.”

The store features items from young entrepreneurs and creators such as Malibu High School’s Zanmi Club, Boyso Soaps, C & the Moon, From the Ash Studio, and Stapelstein. Vendors showcasing their work at Third Space include a diverse array of brands, artists, and creators contributing to the ethos of sustainability, creativity, and youth engagement.

From ceramics and skincare to books, jewelry, and environmental projects, it serves as both a marketplace and a platform for youth to interact with local entrepreneurs, artists, and creators through mentorship opportunities.

Workshops at Third Space cater to grades K-12, offering imaginative sessions for younger children to explore products like Stapelstein and creative workshops for older teens to transform their ideas into reality. The venue serves as a hub in the Malibu community, fostering care, connection, and creativity outside traditional spaces.

Third space is located at 23359 Pacific Coast Highway, hours vary, visit thirdspacemalibu.org.

However, all have important attributes in common: a dedicated grit to withstand disasters, whether natural, such as the Woolsey Fire, or unfathomable such as the pandemic, and an admirable ability to pivot to respond to local consumers’ ever-changing needs and whims, combined with a secret sauce that works in Malibu and that is unique to each enterprise.

When one takes a minute to reflect, there are local small businesses all around town. Starting on the west side, BuCandy fills a void for all things sweet, and Drill Surf & Skate offers awesome skate gear. At Busch Drive, SeaNSoul’s proprietors understand that locals want to surf, of course, but also providing a local place to buy quality kids’ clothes and wetsuits, and importantly, a great place to get a good cup of Joe, will keep Malibuites coming in consistently.

City Hall meeting held to explain Malibu Coastal Vulnerability Assessment The presentation included an overview of the assessment process as well as the findings in the draft report

By BARBARA BURKE Special to The Malibu Times

The Malibu Coastal Vulnerability Assessment was undertaken to provide the community with details concerning existing coastal conditions in Malibu and to highlight the future vulnerability of the city’s built and natural coastal resources and assets under various projections regarding possible sea-level rise, tidal inundation, storm flooding, and coastal erosion.

The report addresses projected conditions in the near-term, defined as the present until 2049; the mid-term, defined as from 2050 until 2080, when the potential sea-level rise is 2.5 feet; and the long term, from 2080-2100, when the potential sea level rise is 6.6 feet. Importantly, the first date in the date range assumes rapid ice sheet loss on Antarctica, while the late date assumes emissions continue as usual with no ice sheet loss, thereby delaying the extent of potential sea level rise.

Environmental sustainability staff and consultants from ESA, an environmental consulting firm, presented a draft assessment report to community members at a meeting in City Hall on Nov. 14, and in an online meeting on Nov. 16. The presentation included an overview of the assessment process as well as the findings in the draft report. The study area includes Malibu’s shoreline that stretches approximately 22.6 miles from Nicholas Canyon to Topanga Beach and includes the lower Trancas and Zuma canyons and low-lying areas around the Malibu Lagoon. “​ Our goal is to take the residents’ comments and concerns from these

meetings wherein we are seeking information and feedback from community members,” said Yolanda Bundy, director of the Environmental Sustainability Department.

“Then, after considering feedback and making necessary changes to the draft report, we will have a second community meeting in early 2024. After that, the staff will make any necessary changes and the assessment will be addressed by the City Council.” ​Citizens listened attentively as staff quickly reviewed historic flooding events and existing conditions, recounting coastal storms during El Nino seasons and king tides. Staff noted that with regard to data collection, an asset inventory was conducted, evaluating Malibu’s critical infrastructure, including communication towers, public facilities such as fire and public offices, energy assets, including electric meters, water assets such as sewer mains, sewer pump stations, and storm drain inlets and junctions, transportation assets, critical assets, such as fire hydrants and lifeguard towers, as well as recreation facilities. The study also took into account the Malibu area’s unique and fragile ecology, including environmentally sensitive habitat areas.

Then, those making the presentation discussed existing possible sea-level-rise adaptation strategies.

Approximately 31 percent of the Malibu coastline is protected by coastal armoring structures such as rock revetments and wooden or concrete sea walls. In that regard, the report cautions that although armoring provides protection to existing shorelines, it can also contribute to additional erosion and accelerate beach loss.

O ​ ther current adaptation methods are beach nourishment and installing temporary sand berms. The report notes that the LA County Department of Beaches and Harbors regularly builds berms to reduce winter flooding for lifeguard facilities, restrooms, and maintenance yards along the beach. ​Those current solutions are not

sufficient to address projected sea level rise, according to the study which utilizes a high carbon emission scenario for future decades.

Future tidal inundation, storm flooding, waves and erosion “​ Future sea-level rise is expected to create a permanent rise in ocean water levels that would shift the water’s edge landward,” The draft report states. “Higher water levels would increase erosion of beaches and cliffs, and result in narrower beaches if no action is taken.” ​The report also notes that “The combination of higher ocean water levels and beach erosion would mean that coastal storms will potentially cause greater flooding along the shore, because reduced beach width is less effective at reducing wave energy, and waves that break in deeper water and/or closer to shore will result in greater run-up.”

Th ​ e report enumerated potential future hazard zones, noting that tidal inundation (non-storm) and groundwater levels affect low-lying areas adjacent to, but disconnected from tidal areas by high ground that is permanent. Coastal erosion affects the shoreline, beach and bluffs. When there is a 100-year coastal storm event, wave overtopping causes flooding in low-lying areas temporarily and there is creek flooding that eventually subsides, but can cause significant damage.

Coastal processes attributable to unaddressed beach and bluff erosion due to sea level rise versus using efforts to address erosion ​As with any study, it’s best to carefully evaluate presumptions that are made. Here, the study characterized the full extent of potential impacts to Malibu assets from sea-level rise assuming erosion hazard zones under a “let it go, no beach nourishment” management scenario that assumes no management actions are taken and erosion is allowed to continue unabated into coastal development

areas. In the alternative, the study also assessed “hold the line” scenarios that assume that management actions are taken to repair and replace damaged structures and construct new armoring to protect all existing development.

Left for future action by the City Council is the arduous task of attempting to define what management actions are feasible to address sea-level rise impacts. Of course, the issue of how to fund such actions is also left to the future. ​The draft assessment also provides projections of shoreline and bluff erosion to compute beach width changes due to sea-level rise. With regard to potential maximum wave run-up attributable to sea-level rise, the study also assesses the Malibu and Paradise Cove piers’ potential wave exposure during extreme storm conditions.

Finally, the study also takes into account that riverine flooding in rivers and creeks will increase due to higher sea-levels, which will cause water levels to back up in coastal rivers and limit river drainage to the ocean, causing floods.

Attendees’ questions A ​ udience questions included addressing personal circumstances, with one attendee stating, “I’m sure I’m not the only one that has been living on one of Malibu’s beaches since the 1970s and seen severe beach reduction. So, I wish someone would be the canary in the coal mine and tell me when I should sell my house as I want my son to inherit something when I die?”

Several attendees had more technical questions addressing the fact that in its 2022 projections, the National Oceanic Atmospheric Association (NOAA) has dropped its extreme level scenario utilized in the draft assessment as a metric to guide communities attempting to determine responses to sea level rise. The consultants and staff will adjust the language in the report to acknowledge that variation. Readers may wish to review NOAA’s discussion of that recent adjustment at: oceanservice.noaa.gov.

off list from Caltrans; they want [the California Highway Patrol] back,” Seetoo said. “CHP was there and they want to partner with us and the Malibu/Lost Hills station welcomes CHP as our partners, but we’ve got to stop the speed.”

After the deaths of four Pepperdine students on Pacific Coast Highway on Oct. 17, Malibu residents demanded an immediate increase in law enforcement patrols looking for speeders on the dangerous highway and for Caltrans to make PCH safer.

Seetoo continues to emphasize three main key points she has proposed to the community: education, enforcement, and engineering.

“It’s education, it’s parents, talking to their kids about the dangers of PCH, and the dangers of speeding, we’ve got to slow down PCH,” Seetoo said.

Malibu Public Safety Director Susan Dueñas said hiring CHP officers is taking shape with a short-term agreement, but the city is working on securing a longer-term permanent contract with CHP for a three-person task force. The item will be addressed during the City Council meeting next Monday.

“We heard what the community wanted, a plan, we even talked about a website that they can go to, to see the plan, to see it in action, that is what I believe that Caltrans said they will do, and now it’s up to elected officials holding them to that, and law enforcement stands ready to work with Caltrans,” Seetoo said. “This community is an amazing community, we need to work together to make change.”

Vivid Candi Creative founder and CEO Chris Wizner spoke during the meeting virtually in the morning and attended the Coffee with a Deputy, and said he didn’t feel like there was an action plan from Caltrans and said they gave no solid answers.

“There wasn’t any kind of sense of urgency or priority, there wasn’t any empathy on what had happened, so I really hope that the pressure on them really mounts to a point where they can’t ignore us,” Wizner said. “I don’t care what you say, I care what you do.”

Malibu VOP team leader Mark Russo was at the fatal incident when it occurred on Oct. 17 and said change also needs to come from home, and educating your kids about speeding and the dangers of PCH.

“Even with my kids at home, understand the highway you’re on, the speeds you’re driving, don’t be a driver that’s distracted, don’t be a driver that’s speeding,” Russo said. “I think our captain has been spot on, it’s three E’s, education, and that starts at home and at school; it’s enforcement, the Sheriff ’s Department and CHP coming out here; and it’s really engineering, things have really have to change. Everyone that needs to be aware of — is aware, and I hope these changes come in a timely manner.”

Russo said it was refreshing to see officials

present at the meeting earlier.

“All the stakeholders were there, so it was nice to see the agencies represented; they’re really going to be the agents for change and allow this to get reconfigured, bring the enforcement, with the Sheriff ’s Department and also CHP, so everything they said was great; they just need to execute and get it done.”

The community later gathered for a vigil on PCH and Webb Way to place four white tires to honor Deslyn Williams, Niamh Rolston, Asha Weir, and Peyton Stewart.

Planning Commissioner John Mazza noted that the Coastal Commission is asking those building in Malibu to provide 100-year sea level rise assessments, but the draft assessment mainly addresses a 77-year assessment to 2100.

Again, staff and the consultants assured that they would address that in their next draft assessment.

Attendees also expressed confusion about how the City’s Coastal Vulnerability Study interfaces with other climate vulnerability assessments by the county, state, and federal agencies.

The answers to all the questions will be assessed by staff, and the assessment report will be modified, Bundy said.

Community workshop attendees comment on area-specific GIS maps Then, attendees disbursed to review sub-area maps and provide comments regarding beaches in six delineated areas throughout Malibu. Each GIS map sets forth an area’s particular concerns.

Coastal erosion is the dominant hazard for sub-area A, which has parameters from Nicholas Canyon Beach to Point Lechuza, according to the study, which also notes that area’s vulnerabilities include a mix of residential development, open space on top of the bluffs and bluff-backed beaches. Sub-area B, defined as spanning from Point Lechuza to Point Dume, has vulnerabilities including erosion of

blufftop development, and flooding and erosion of low-lying beach front development.

The area between Point Dume and Escondido Beach, comprising Sub-area C, has vulnerabilities including the erosion of residential development on the top of tall bluffs and some small pocket beaches. From Escondido Beach to Malibu Surfrider Beach, Sub-area D, has vulnerabilities that include more extensive residential development at or near beach elevations and the Pacific Coast Highway.

Malibu Surfrider Beach to Topanga Beach, Sub-area E, has vulnerabilities, including beachfront residential development seaward of Highway 1 with narrow fronting beaches.

Many community members were appreciative of the city staff and consultants hosting the meeting and Bundy and Solishia Andico, environmental sustainability analyst for the City of Malibu noted that ESA and the city will review the public comments and concerns and develop a range of adaptation measures that can be taken to reduce the sea-level rise vulnerabilities identified in the report and the city will conduct more workshops to inform the public about those measures in order to gather community input and develop next steps in the planning process.

HONORS VICTIMS OF ROAD TRAFFIC CONTINUED FROM A1

Highway,” Shane said. “Every car on the road is a potential weapon; every driver who lets go of being vigilant for even a split second is potentially the cause of a tragedy.”

Ellen’s husband, Michel Shane, produced the recent film, “21 Miles in Malibu,”exposing the dangers of PCH. “The mission of this film [is] to make this highway a safer place, to educate anyone driving here to be aware and stay aware as they traverse the highway,” Ellen Shane said. “My hope is that Michel’s efforts, and measures being implemented, stop the accidents and deaths on this road.”

Pepperdine student Bridget Thompson spoke at the vigils on Tuesday and Sunday morning, honoring her friends and the lives lost on PCH. Thompson said she stood on the side of PCH until 3 a.m. that night her friends were killed, crying and begging for her best friends to be OK. “I lost my sisters, I lost my everything, but it wasn’t just me that lost everything,” Thompson said. “On October 17, we lost four girls who were going to change the world: Deslyn Williams, Niamh Rolston, Asha Weir, and Peyton Stewart.

They were four of the most ambitious, loving, selfless, and kind people you’ve ever come across; it was an absolute privilege to be loved by them.”

Thompson called on Caltrans to take action and make PCH safe for everyone.

“It needs to be fixed before it’s your best friend, your sister, daughters,” said Thompson.

Many of the families and friends at the gathering called on authorities, such as the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), to improve the roadway. They have all joined a community group called Fix PCH, which advocates for installing speed cameras, increased fines, and lower speed limits.

Malibu/Lost Hills Sheriff ’s Captain Jennifer Seetoo was one of the featured speakers at the PCH Taskforce meeting the city held earlier that day and honored the four women during the vigil on Tuesday night.

“We need to focus on education, we need to focus on enforcement, and we need to focus on engineering to protect the people, the 15 million people that come here every year that enjoy this beautiful beach,” Seetoo said.

Before the vigil on Tuesday, the city held a special public meeting of the PCH Taskforce at Malibu City Hall with city, county, and state elected officials and Caltrans to discuss ways to address dangerous conditions on Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu. The PCH Taskforce is a coalition of law enforcement, traffic engineers, Caltrans, and local and state elected officials who work to find solutions to make PCH safer for all users, from the McClure Tunnel in Santa Monica to the Ventura County line.

State Assemblymember Jacqui Irwin (42nd District) chaired the meeting, and was joined by State Senator Ben Allen (24th District); Malibu Mayor Steve Uhring; LA County Supervisor Lindsey Horvath (3rd District); Malibu City Manager Steve McClary; Malibu-Lost Hills Sheriff ’s Station Commanding Officer Capt.

Residents who spoke asked for more enforcement on PCH and for Caltrans to begin making progress on their actions. While Molina and Haber said, “Safety is their number one priority,” residents didn’t believe their words matched with their actions.

Founder & CEO at Vivid Candi Creative Chris Wizner spoke during the meeting in the morning and at the vigil that same evening.

“I don’t want this to ever happen again,” Wizner said. “I’ll just give my point from Caltrans and what I saw today at the PCH Taskforce [meeting]

During wildfires, earthquakes, and other disasters, Malibu may experience widespread, long-lasting power, landline phone, cellphone, and internet outages. It is critical for life safety to be able to access emergency information.

The city mailed out postcards to all Malibu addresses with tips on how to stay informed during a disaster, especially when there are widespread, long-lasting power outages. Watch for the postcards in the mail, save them, and keep them handy to be prepared for wildfire season. The postcard can also be downloaded and printed at malibucity.org/DocumentCenter.

According to Caltrans, during the past 10 years, there have been more than 4,000 collisions on PCH in Malibu.

“This Thanksgiving, there will be an empty seat at each of their Thanksgiving dinners, their beautiful lives were taken by a speeding driver,” Seetoo said. “We have 58 tires, representing the lives of 58 whose lives have been cut short, due to traffic collisions, just on PCH in Malibu.”

Seetoo pointed to four white tires with no names.

“These tires represent the future victims, lives that will be cut short here on PCH if nothing changes,” Seetoo said.

Barry Stewart, father of Peyton Stewart, spoke during the memorial and acknowledged the city and safety officials in attendance, but also wanted to bring attention to the empty seat that was saved for a representative from Caltrans.

“I understand that they sent a letter to the organizer of this event, declining their participation in this event but reiterating, ‘Safety is their number one priority,’” Stewart said.

According to Caltrans, during the past 10 years, there have been more than 4,000 collisions on PCH in Malibu. Speeding and improper turns are the most common contributing factors to collisions, both of which will be directly addressed by the Signal Synchronization Project.

According to the city’s website, “All of the parties gave updates on their efforts, including lowering speed limits, increasing traffic enforcement, getting speed cameras, increasing funding, and various traffic safety and engineering projects. Supervisor Horvath is working on permanent enhanced traffic safety enforcement from the Sheriff ’s Department on PCH to ensure that we can sustain Capt.

Senator Allen and Assemblymember Irwin will be co-authoring a bill to allow photo speed cameras on PCH in Malibu.”

To date, the city has allocated and spent approximately $39 million on traffic safety improvement projects on PCH. The city currently has $8 million of funds obligated towards future PCH safety improvement projects. The City of Malibu released a list of improvement projects they have been working on since 2015.

On Nov. 13, the City Council approved declaring a local state of emergency to address the PCH safety crisis.

McClary announced that the city and CHP are currently working on a contract to bring back CHP patrols to PCH in Malibu in early 2024. The city has begun working on getting PCH in Malibu designated a Public Safety Corridor. The city is funding overtime for an additional officer per shift. The city said Seetoo has begun enhanced traffic safety enforcement and additional patrols on PCH in Malibu.

fantasy.

As people assembled in the hall, against a colorful, cheerful backdrop by Kazuyuki Sakamoto, A Call 2Peace entertained the crowd, first playing “Passion Fruit” by Bernardo Rubaja, Eduardo Del Signore and Frederico Ramos, segueing into other tender pieces that set a mood of joy and appreciation, then providing an apropos rendition of Imagine by John Lennon, featuring a sax solo by Bill Bixler, who served as the instrumental music director at Malibu High School for years.

“The Malibu Arts Commission is dedicated to expanding the arts and culture in our town,” Commission Chair Fireball Tim Lawrence said. “There is no one better who exemplifies that than Dick Van Dyke.”

Soon, four generations of the Van Dyke clan assembled, waiting to cheer on their patriarch. Van Dyke’s son Barry and his son Wes and Wes’ two children, Kyla, 7, and Conor, 3, were joined by Dick’s daughter, Carrie.

As the audience waited, they spontaneously began singing their favorite songs from Van Dyke’s movies. “A spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down,” they sang, followed by “Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.”

And then ... he walked in, smiling broadly and waving, delighted to join the party.

“I’ll be 98 in three weeks!” Van Dyke proclaimed, in a tone mixing surprise and excitement. The adoring crowd clapped wildly.

Van Dyke is sprightly, his intellect shines, and he’s quick with a joke. He jovially

director for the city, all six major shopping centers in Malibu have submitted planning applications that are still under review, and three of the shopping centers’ managers have submitted corrections to the City in response to planning staff ’s comments.

On Nov. 15, Malibu Mayor Steve Uhring and City Councilmember Marianne Riggins, members of the Environmental Sustainability S u b c om m i t t e e, m e t w i t h Environmental Programs staff and City Manager Steve McClary to address possibly amending the Dark Sky Ordinance.

“On Oct. 17, 2023, site meetings were conducted by staff, the city’s lighting engineer and City Council representatives,” Bundy said. “There are consistent difficulties at many locations in Malibu with meeting the city’s dark sky standards, finding vendors with the compliant type of lighting, and purchasing proper lighting fixtures.”

Citiz ens also expressed hesitation to change lighting that may compromise security measures, Bundy added.

A lengthy discussion ensued, with staff recommending that the subcommittee suggest that the City Council modify the existing ordinance to update requirements of light fixtures to allow lanternstyle fixtures and to support a more workable light trespass, which provides enough lighting for security lighting.

If the ordinance were amended, “Lantern-style light fixtures” would be defined as “a light fixture with a metal frame with the lamp located completely within the top of the opaque part of the fixture, with or without glass side panels.”

Such fixtures could not exceed 5,000 lumens. The ordinance defines a “lumen” as “the unit of measure used to quantify the amount of visible light produced by a lamp or emitted from a light fixture,” as distinguished from “watt,” which is a measure of power consumption.

Other proposed revisions to the ordinance included modifying the existing curfew of 11 p.m. for extinguishing outdoor lighting such that building entrances, driveway egress points, parking areas, and walkways used for entry to and exit from structures and parking areas be excluded from the curfew.

Uhring expressed extreme recalcitrance about modifying the Dark Sky Ordinance, stating several times that he had received many comments from

laughs as he shares many fond memories, always attentive to the crowd and ensuring he’s taking them along on his jovial journey.

“I’ve had such a good life!” He said. “I can’t complain about anything. I’ve had fun!”

The fans had many questions for Van Dyke and he thoroughly enjoyed the conversation. His favorite songs? “Chitty Chitty Bang Bang” and “Put on a Happy Face.”

Pausing, he added, “I never had any lessons for singing! I was in ‘Bye Bye Birdie’ and was cast by Chita Rivera in the part after I did a song on set for fun and I ended up winning a Tony Award!”

Van Dyke has, indeed, lived a life of serendipity and delight.

Discussing the photographer who brought the crowd together, Van Dyke and Arlene sang Johansen’s praises.

“She is the best photographer!” Van Dyke proclaimed. “I never even know she’s there taking photos.”

Johansen described her journey of becoming Van Dyke’s photographer as one of happenstance.

“I was just attending an art show at the Malibu Playhouse and I saw Dick and Arlene struggling to take cellphone photos — this was 2015 so it wasn’t as easy to do so as it is now,” Johansen said. “I offered to use my camera to take images and that launched an incredible journey.”

It’s been, she said, a journey of taking images of Van Dyke when he was honored at the Kennedy Center, following all of his jazz adventures and all of his family events.

“It’s been fantastic!” she said.

Johansen’s secret to capturing the incredible moments and images? “You’re engaging all of your senses and need to anticipate the

constituents expressing concern about weakening the provisions of the law and he didn’t see utility in changing it because those affected would have to go to expense to comply with the ordinance whether it is kept in place or is amended.

“If they have to put in new fixtures, why not have them put in fixtures without changing the rules?” Uhring asked. “I don’t think we should modify the ordinance unless absolutely necessary and it needs to be as tight as it can be so that its purpose is achieved. If there are no parameters, people will do whatever they want to do and having parameters helps with enforcement.”

Riggins asked for staff to provide images of light fixtures that are compliant with the ordinance and expressed hope that a balance could be struck between meeting the goals of the Dark Sky Ordinance and its safety objectives while also allowing businesses some flexibility in what lighting to select. ​“ I am in full support of the City of Malibu’s Dark Sky Ordinance and we need to have it be clear and concise so our residents, businesses and public facilities can comply with the regulations,” Riggins said. “The benefit will be that our community will protect our night sky and improve the

image,” she said. “I know when it’s going to be a great shot before it happens.”

Arlene was highly complimentary of Johansen as a photographer and as a friend.

“Her use of light and shadow is not only beautiful, but it also embraces the emotional and is so artistic,” Arlene said. “I actually forget she’s there. She’s so good!”

Then, it was back to fan questions for Dick, who thoroughly enjoyed the conversation.

His favorite leading lady? “Mary Tyler Moore,” he responded, soliciting thunderous applause. “We had so much fun on [‘The Dick Van Dyke Show’].”

How does Van Dyke want the next generation to remember him?

“Fondly,” he quipped, whereupon Arlene noted, “Everything you’ve done has been timeless.”

He is, indeed, timeless. Wee ones sang to him while he gazed with joy, and outside the City Hall, Irene Benyoung, 91, was delighted to pose in front of a LaFrance fire truck from the 1920s that emulates the era of “Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.”

Quipping, Irene toyed with her name, saying, “I’ve been young!”

So too has Van Dyke. ​“ Today has given my dad his best birthday party, which will go through Dec. 13,” Barry Van Dyke said. “He’s earned it!”

As the crowd dispersed, they smiled communally as if to say, “Happy Birthday Dick!

Long may you and your legacy run!”

“Moments in Time” will be on display until Jan. 5, 2024, at Malibu City Hall which is open on Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. No reservations are Scenes from the grand opening of “Dick Van Dyke — Moments in Time.” Photos by Devon Meyers/TMT required.

environment for both people and wildlife.” ​ T he subcommittee heard comments from Bryan Gordon, a representative for The Ranch at Cross Creek, the commercial center next to the Malibu Library that has not yet opened.

“We fully support the Dark Sky Ordinance, but we want to point out that amending it will help address some of its inconsistencies that cause some unintended consequences,” Gordon said. “If we follow the ordinance and move landscape lights to concentrate on pathways, it will cause dark spots in the lighting pattern and the lighting will not beautify the property correctly.”

Gordon also expressed concern that some of the ordinance’s provisions should not be as strict with regard to parts of the Ranch at Cross Creek that are not visible from Legacy Park at the entrance to the shopping center or from Pepperdine on the back part of the center.

Environmental advocates express strong objections “The proposed amendments are a systematic gutting of the Dark Sky Ordinance,” Ryan Embree said. “The proposed change to 5,000 lumen is the polar opposite of a dark sky — that’s like the level of lighting in a dealership or a baseball stadium.”

Embree also chastised the city staff for “proposing to carefully insert loopholes throughout the code,” that, in his view, will destroy the intention of the ordinance.

“The Malibu Coalition for Slow Growth opposes the proposed changes to the Dark Sky Ordinance because the proposed changes definitely weaken the effectiveness of the Dark Sky Ordinance and should be rejected,” Patt Healy said.

“The owners of commercial and institutional property have the ability to make the transition to Dark Sky. It is obviously an expense, but it is a cost of doing business in Malibu. There is no valid reason stated as to why these changes are needed, except it will make compliance easier for the property owner.”

Healy added that “the proposed changes constitute a major ordinance change, especially since they will apply citywide to every district zone commercial or institutional and the cumulative effect will be enormous.”

Healy questioned why lanternstyle fixtures are even being recommended, noting that even if the bulb is shielded, lantern-style fixtures “will allow an enormous amount of light to be projected above the horizontal plane, which clearly creates a great amount of light pollution both on and offsite. The glass diffusing element

should not be allowed, for it will allow the light to spread over even a wider area. Lanterns will spill light out in all four directions and will make skyglow and light trespass much worse.”

Healy also asserted that lanternstyle fixtures also will throw light over ESHA and other wilderness areas. She vociferously objected to exempting commercial, institutional, and multi-family properties using lanterns from the 850-lumen maximum in the existing ordinance. She questioned the wisdom of excluding lighting from the 11 p.m. curfew in the ordinance.

“There is no reason that lighting shall be excluded from the curfew,” Healy said. “The curfew is 11 p.m. or when people are no longer present outdoors, whichever is later. If no one, except for a security guard, is present on a property, why should building entrances, driveway egress points, parking areas, and walkways used for entry to and exit from structures and parking areas be excluded from this curfew? According to this proposed amendment, lighting can remain on all day and night.”

Once a center, store, or building is closed, there is no need for pedestrian safety lighting as proposed, Healy said, adding, “If it is to be allowed, night lighting should be modeled after the Trancas Shopping Center,

which is a perfect example of how night lighting can be done.

Its lighting should be the model for all the other commercial and institutional properties.”

Healy asserted, “Residents want the type of lighting that is at Trancas where lighting is fully shielded and facing downward at no more than 850 lumens and where the kelvin is not white light but a warm and inviting color tone.” ​In the end, the subcommittee asked the staff to revisit its recommendations, taking into account the environmental advocates’ and Uhring’s trepidations.

Next steps City staff will take the comments made, make suggested revisions, and then come back to the Environmental Sustainability Subcommittee. If the subcommittee agrees, then the City Council will review the proposed amendment and determine whether to initiate the proposed Zone Text Amendment (ZTA) by sending the ZTA to the Planning Commission for its review, comments, and approval, whereupon the proposed amendment would go back to City Council for adoption.

Bundy stated that after that is accomplished, the City Council will conduct a public hearing on the matter.

he Emily Shane Foundation held its annual fundraiser last week at Sorenity Rocks at Cross Creek, where dozens of donors enjoyed an evening of wine, crystal healing stations, and an opportunity to donate to the Successful Educational Achievement (SEA) Program.

Every year, the foundation holds its annual fundraisers to help support the SEA Program. With this year’s theme, “Crystallizing Success,” the foundation’s “Pass it Forward” motto encourages kindness and social consciousness as each student performs one good deed per session with their mentor/tutor. Mentors and tutors are all university students or recent graduates.

Sponsored by Malibugives and TransformativePlay.org, the event featured local businesses and local Malibu wines from Malibu Solstice, Sura, and Hoyt Family Vineyards.

Executive Director Ellen Shane thanked and acknowledged Sorenity Rocks owner Lenise Soren for organizing the event at her store at Cross Creek.

“Without hesitating, she said, ‘Let’s do it at my store,’” Shane said. “She had a crew, she set this whole thing up. She’s amazing.”

hey gathered with glee, celebrating their entrepreneurism and aiming to make this holiday season extra special for purchasers of their locally curated items, all to benefit Malibu Middle and Malibu High schools.

That was the scene on the MMS/MHS campus as the Shark Fund held its annual Holiday Boutique on Thursday, Nov. 16.

The Shark fund is a group that financially supports educational and extracurricular programs at Malibu Middle and High schools. ​Of course there were school-related booths: “Go Manta Rays!” exclaimed the middle school booth’s sign, featuring merch with the school’s insignias. ​“Go Sharks!” the high school booth proclaimed, offering sweatshirts, cozy flannels, shorts, and hats. ​Many of the local vendors at the annual event co-sponsored by the PTSA and the Shark Fund, parent-led organizations, share their creations and unique fashions at the boutique every year. Many participating enterprises are female-owned, Malibu-based businesses. ​Two school parents shared a booth, smiling broadly as they showcased their items.

Mid-Century Malibu MALIBU SEEN

By Benjamin Marcus, Entertainment Editor

The almost forgotten, rediscovered art of Paul Dubosclard

J

ust when you think you’ve seen it all, along comes Pablo Capra to the Malibu Newsstand with a catalogue raisonne by John Brewer featuring the life and work of Paul Dubosclard. Ever heard of this prolific Frenchmen Dubosclard?

Voici!

Researching a Malibu history book I’m gonna call “Chumash to Hard Cash” — if I ever finish the danged thing — I invested bookoo de temps pouring through the Adamson House, Pepperdine, Huntington Library, AMPAS Library, Bison and other photo and art archives, doing searches for anything Malibucentric. I thought I had seen it all. How did I miss the most excellent art of this French dude?

Pablo Capra: My guess is that Paul did not work to promote himself. He became very wealthy out of WWII airplane wing design and manufacturing. After the war, this practicing Catholic left his wife Olga and child Pierre and the frozen tundra of Buffalo, New York, and came out to sunny Topanga, California.

I believe he bought a home for his girlfriend Edith Feeny and her child Phyllis, another for publisher/artist Margaret Sheehan, and one for himself. He basically kept his head low until he divorced his wife in 1952. Up until that point, he focused on his art, local shows, and being a member of the Topanga area. After the divorce, he

married his girlfriend, moved to a custom-built home in Brentwood, and went back into the airplane mechanical engineering business.

I don’t think he ever wanted to focus on those years or bring attention to them. As a result, there is very little in the records about him. He came across as a minor figure. Although the postcards were relatively common at the time, they were never added to the collections of any of the resources you mentioned. So overall, there was just nothing to find that would have sparked your interest.

And where did you come across him?

PC: I was collecting old Santa Monica postcards as a Christmas present for my brother in November of 2021. When I searched the internet, Ebay had a small number of the Dubosclard cards. Because most cards are not signed, the name of publisher, M.A. Sheehan, resulted in the most hits. The name Dubosclard would return a small number as well. Trying “Malibu postcard,” “Santa Barbara postcard,” “Topanga Canyon postcard,” and “Santa Monica postcard” also led to some success. Other searches included “serigraph postcard” and “silk screen postcard.” Searching more broadly on the internet led to some European postcard sites, and several major postcard sellers like www.cardcow.com. The cards will sometimes be signed with a “P. Dubosclard” ink stamp or a “PM” pressed stamp. (PM are his middle initials).

Keep in mind that these cards are original handmade silk screens/serigraphs. At the time

they were made (1947/1948) no one else was making postcards in this time-consuming way, and there are very few examples of silk screened postcards between that time and today. A search for this type of card almost always leads to Dubosclard.

I spotted one of “The Cannon” cards and then several others, including a “Santa Monica City Hall,” “Church of Santa Monica,” and “Santa Monica Public Library.” Possibly several with Topanga, Malibu, and Santa Barbara themes. I became intrigued and did a search on the web. I came up with a donation of a single “Santa Monica City Hall” card to the Santa Monica Public Library/ City of Santa Monica. The donor was publicly thanked in a recorded City Council meeting.

From there I started poking around and found tidbits here and there on the internet. At the same time, I started collecting the cards as they became available on Ebay.

Project back in the 1930s. They are generally impressionistic landscapes using saturated soft colors usually combined with bold text in handmade fonts.

He made 14 cards that depicted historic people associated with the local coastline, including native peoples, Spanish settlers, military, explorers, as well as several Catholic saints. Dubosclard also did three sets of cards including “The Zodiac” (12), “Presidents” (32), “States” (48). Cards out of these last three are relatively common. It is the complete sets that are hard to come by.

His art is very satisfying. This guy gets Malibu, and Topanga, and the light and the color of the sky and ocean and the clouds.

PC: Paul Dubosclard made art in many different mediums. We know him primarily for his serigraphs/silkscreen postcards. He also did watercolors, gouache, oils, pencil/ink drawings, woodblock/ linocuts, sculpture, physical models, and marionettes. At one time he had a studio in his Brentwood home full of art that disappeared after he and his wife passed away.

The serigraphs are generally done in the style most often associated with the WPA Poster

How long did it take?

PC: I was inspired by the PC: It took around a year and unique silk screening skills that Paul used to create these a half. Most of it was trying to cards, as well as the unusual document the images and ferstory of his art, his mechanical reting-out the almost non-exengineering, his importance to istent details of his life.

Burt’s Eye View: So many blessings

PERSPECTIVE

By Burt Ross, Contributed Column

L

ife is a mixed bag. I don’t care who you are, no matter how rich or famous, we all have experienced highs and lows, but Thanksgiving is as good a time as any to view the glass as half full.

This year started off horribly for me. I lost a good friend, suffered a severe attack of vertigo followed by salmonella, but then things started to turn around. In March, I celebrated turning 80 with family and good friends. I am grateful that most of my body parts continue to function, and I think my brain remains vital, although that is open to debate. I especially appreciate that despite my having no muscles in one leg from the knee down, I

am still ambulatory. This is something I will never take for granted.

I will always be grateful for having had two parents and a grandmother who loved me unconditionally. This foundation of love is not a given.

I am blessed to have had my bride by my side for the past 41 years and that she and my children are healthy and happy. Nothing is more important than that.

I am grateful that I live in Malibu, a most beautiful place wrapped in ideal weather. I understand it is not as undisturbed and rural as it once was, but coming from New Jersey, Malibu is simply heaven on Earth.

And so I hope you, my readers, have a wonderful holiday and that you, too, have your share of blessings to be grateful for.

How did you gather his art?

How many pieces are featured in the book?

PC: There are 144 images I have collected or know about — 143 are in the book and a watercolor of a female nude appeared after publishing. I found almost all the cards on Ebay, as well as the large oil painting. Because the cards are handmade, each one is unique. Because of the rarity and beauty of some cards, they almost never come up for sale. It took me almost two years to put together the collection I have.

Malibu Schools launch mindfullness programs I

By MURIEL BURAN Special to The Malibu Times

n their formative years, adolescents experience a wide variety of new capabilities and challenges that form the framework for their cognitive and emotional developments. Starting in elementary school, the combination of stress resulting from desired academic excellence and the journey of self-identity leaves many students unable to have healthy emotion regulation. School safety, mental health, online bullying, and social media pressures are just a few of the provocations that cause damage to youth.

Personally, as a student who is now in the midst of my senior year at Malibu High School, I have witnessed first-hand how the stresses in and out of the classroom gradually increase. As we get older, the weight of social comparison alters how we view ourselves, leaving us vulnerable to an onset of behavioral health issues, such as depression, anxiety, and eating disorders. These render adolescents to feel neglected or unable to navigate. However, the powerful beacon of mindfulness can provide a lifeline.

While I attended Juan Cabrillo Elementary, my mother, Tara Buran, who is a mindfulness teacher/life coach with a Master’s in social work from USC, and certified by the International Mindfulness Teachers Association, started biweekly visits to my third-grade class with Mrs. Kliser to teach secular practices of mindfulness.

At such a young age, my classmates and I were unaware of the positive outcomes, but were intrigued by the Tibetan bell, the fun breathing activities, and gratitude journals. While it was a limited opportunity at the time, the short meetings provided our class an outlet and a moment to just breathe and be present with ourselves.

“As a parent and teacher, being able to see that the out-of-the-box tool of

self-regulation was working was truly inspiring,” Buran said. “After my first year starting the practice in schools, I wanted to see the implementation expand further.”

Buran has volunteered teaching in Malibu schools and in the community for eight years and is well-versed in the benefits of mindfulness and designing a curriculum to implement it in a school setting.

I was lucky enough to have these weekly mindfulness classes until I got to sixth grade at Malibu Middle School. The school was not willing to incorporate an on-campus opportunity to practice mindfulness, nor was it addressing parents’ and students’ desires to start having such sessions.

However, luckily, as I approach the end of my high school career, Malibu High School is finally implementing a new initiative for a Red Ribbon school

program, with the outstanding leadership of Kevin Keegan, the president of the Parent Teacher Student Association.

The school is now focusing on efforts to end the stigma sometimes attached to addressing mental health and is providing students frequent outlets for self-care.

“Mindfulness is a personal well-being tool that anyone can learn about. The development and practice of mindfulness offers each child, teenager, or adult an increased ability to reduce anxiety, overcome fears, manage stress, and more,” Keegan said. “Evidence-based science has revealed the positive health effects of a mindfulness practice. Also, performance-based industries like professional athletics have integrated mindfulness into the workplace, and a modest, but growing number of schools across the country, both public and private, have established mindfulness

as part of their curriculum.”

Keegan added, “The reason we in the PTSA are leading this mindfulness education awareness campaign in 2023-24 is because we want mindfulness to be added to our students’ middle school and high school curriculum as a formal subject with a full-time faculty member within the next two or three years.”

Starting in October, MHS launched awareness about Red Ribbon Week, a national “Kindness is Free” campaign that addresses anti-bullying. As the year progresses, the school will offer other activities during either lunch or support hours addressing topics such as “The Power of Gratitude,” making sure to emphasize how intentional gratitude can improve and maintain all individuals’ mental health. In addition, in May, during Youth Mental Health Awareness lunch,

the PTSA plans to implement more activities and workshops for students’ self-affirmation.

All of these opportunities are possible due to the outstanding support of The Manifest Company’s creators, Suraj Bathejia and Karlton Frazier, who want to invite students and the youth of Malibu to a space of wellness through a combination of color, art, and design. They are starting a program at school to motivate students to take even 10-15 minutes for themselves every day. This time can be spent doing meditation, yoga, journaling, or anything else the student chooses to do while enjoying the artistically-designed, mantra-based Manifest Mats that the company designs.

“Even though we all require different modalities of self-care, our mantra-based affirmations include Manifest Love, Gratitude and Peace.” Frazier said. “Focusing on deep breathing will help Malibu students stay centered and start feeling good. That is when the magic occurs and we start manifesting all that we desire.”

The effort will combine Buran’s mindfulness techniques and the Manifest Mats to make self-care cool, to deter the pressures that are placed on students, and redirect such negative energy into a different path. As a student, I know that it is extremely inspiring to see that adults from all over the community are focusing on prioritizing our youths’ mental, physical, and emotional health.

“When mindfulness is infused throughout the school day, there is a remarkable transformation that happens,” said Christine Cullen, a high school ISP teacher who is a UCLA-trained mindfulness facilitator. Students begin to connect with themselves and with each other in ways that are authentic and meaningful. This atmosphere of care creates a safe place for growth and learning to occur.”

was a lifesaver for her daughter Jacara.

“She didn’t really have a good foundation in her education,” Ogden said.

“She’s great, she’s thriving, she graduated high school. She’s 24 now, but I don’t know how she would’ve made it out of the sixth grade without the program, all of it — the mentoring, the tutoring, it really made a world of difference.”

Ellen and Michel Shane created the 501(c)3 nonprofit charity, The Emily Shane Foundation, in 2011, just one year after the tragic murder of their youngest child, Emily, in 2010. Through passion and a commitment to helping others, they remain dedicated to shaping the lives and futures of less fortunate middle schoolers. The foundation serves as a way to keep Emily’s memory and values alive.

Michel Shane has spent the last three decades of his career as a venerable entrepreneur, with the intuition and foresight to perceptively spot trends before they go mainstream in the film and consumer spheres.

He recently produced a film, “21 Miles in Malibu,” where he exposes the dangers of the Pacific Coast Highway.

C ​ rown Boutique, whose Malibu Country Mart venue is full of gorgeous fashion designs, kindly shared some of its best inventory to support the school, while Barbie Herron Conkling’s Coconut Haus showcased its globally sourced textiles made from repurposed saris.

“What’s amazing about these quilts is they are made using Kantha, a type of embroidery craft made in India,” Conkling said. “Each quilt is made of five to seven layers of old sari material and has only one running stitch throughout the entire piece, and women in the towns

gather in circles and stitch the quilts for as long as 28 days, a full moon cycle.”

Some of the vendors had new businesses, including Samantha Firestone’s LELUXE clothing line.

“We’re grateful to be here!” Firestone said. “Our business is new and we love to be a part of giving back, especially at the holidays. We’re new, excited, and wide-eyed.”

Krishna Jaret was at the boutique for the 27 Miles clothing line, which features soft, cozy cashmere knits, is always a hit at area boutique fundraisers.

Of course, it’s not a Malibu gathering unless something surf-related is on show.

“My husband Patrick Jensen has Freedom Artists, which is an art surf/skate line that is sold locally at Drill,” said Katie Jensen. “Patrick grew up here and went to Malibu High and we now have two kids.” ​Generations of Malibuites have walked the school halls and the parent-led organizations have supported the students. Heather Gardner’s offering provided some context amidst the joyous annual event, exemplifying Malibu’s unique confluence of grit and grace. ​“As a Woolsey Fire survivor, I designed my Phoenix Rising Necklace, a commemorative piece in yellow gold

and in gold-filled form to mark the five-year Woolsey anniversary,” Gardner said. “The phoenix, a legendary mythical creature, symbolizes a powerful story of renewal and resurgence and it emerges from the ashes, representing hope, vitality, and the promise of brighter things to come. My necklace serves as a symbol of resilience and recovery, encapsulating the spirit of our community that has demonstrated remarkable strength in the face of adversity.” ​Although locals cannot predict fires, mudslides, floods, or even a tsunami, one thing they can count on is that traditions are integral to Malibu, including the annual school boutique.

girls are all great players. They are great athletes.”

The winning continued last weekend as Malibu won the three-day Coyote Cup Tournament at Calabasas High.

The Sharks went 3-1 in the annual tournament.

Malibu opened the tournament with an 11-6 win over Marymount on Nov. 16. The team was beaten by Palisades 20-15 the same day. The Sharks beat host Calabasas 11-6 the second day of the event. Malibu downed Chaffey 12-1 in its final match. The Sharks won the event due to the point margin of their victories.

Goldberg said Malibu was happy to grab the tournament crown.

“The girls were super excited because they have been putting in the work during the offseason,” he said.

“While I was coaching the boys team, the girls were

coming in and doing their own workouts. They did a preseason amongst themselves, and they can see that has paid off.”

Senior center guard and team captain Stevie Sturges led the way for the Sharks. She is a defensive stalwart and threat to score on offense.

Goldberg called Sturges “unbelievable.”

“In one our games, she scored seven,” he said, “and she stopped the other team’s top offensive player. She is the top dog for us.”

Sophomore Ceylon Capa also excelled.

“You can tell her offensive training is panning out,” he said.

Malibu entered their home match on Tuesday against Santa Paula with a 4-1 record.

The Sharks, Goldberg said, have played excellent.

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,

A.P.N.: 4457-010-001 and 4457-010-002 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address or other common designation, if any, shown above. We are attempting to collect a debt and any information we obtain will be used for that purpose, NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien.

If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 800-683-2468 option 1 or visit this Internet Web site www. servicelinkASAP.com, using the file number assigned to this case 2023-05721. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. NOTICE TO TENANT: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call 800-683-2468 option 1, or visit this internet website www.servicelinkASAP.com, using the file number assigned to this case 202305721 to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale.

Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee, and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING CITY OF MALIBU CITY COUNCIL The Malibu City Council will hold public hearings on MONDAY, December 11, 2023 and January 8, 2024, at 6:30 p.m. on the project identified below in Council Chambers at Malibu City Hall, 23825 Stuart Ranch Road, and via teleconference.

Public comment can be submitted ahead of the public hearing to citycouncil@ malibucity.org for inclusion in the public record. To view and participate during the public hearing, please review the meeting agenda posted at MalibuCity.org/AgendaCenter and follow the directions for public participation.

Woolsey Fire Non-Conforming Structures Deadlines Zoning Text Amendment No. 23-003 – Consider an amendment and the Planning Commission’s recommendation to extend the deadlines contained in Malibu Municipal Code (MMC) Section 17.60.020(C) to rebuild non-conforming structures destroyed or damaged in the Woolsey Fire, without having to bring the structure into compliance with existing ordinances The November 8, 2023 deadline to obtain building permits for a previously approved Planning Verification (PV) application, to rebuild non-conforming structures damaged or destroyed in the Woolsey Fire without having to bring the structure into compliance with existing ordinances, has passed. However, in an effort to continue to assist Woolsey Fire victims, on September 11, 2023, the City Council initiated an amendment to extend the deadlines contained in MMC Section 17.60.020(C), to initiate the application process and to obtain building permits, by three years.

Pursuant to the Council, the purpose of the 3-year extension of the deadlines is to coincide with Assembly Bill 1500, which amends the Revenue and Taxation Code (RTC) Section 70.5 to allow property owners an additional three years to reconstruct improvements on a property substantially damaged or destroyed by the 2018 Woolsey Fire.

Applicant: Location: Case Planner:

City of Malibu Citywide Richard Mollica, Planning Director (310) 456-2489, extension 346 rmollica@malibucity.org

Pursuant to the authority and criteria contained in the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the Planning Director has analyzed this proposed project and found that it is listed among the classes of projects that have been determined not to have a significant adverse effect on the environment. Therefore, the project is categorically exempt from the provisions of CEQA. The Planning Director has further determined that none of the six exceptions to the use of a categorical exemption apply to this project (CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2).

A written staff report will be available at or before the hearing for the project. All persons wishing to address the Council regarding this matter will be afforded an opportunity in accordance with the Council’s procedures.

Copies of all related documents can be reviewed by any interested person at City Hall during regular business hours. Oral and written comments may be presented to the City Council on, or before, the date of the meeting.

IF YOU CHALLENGE THE CITY’S ACTION IN COURT, YOU MAY BE LIMITED TO RAISING ONLY THOSE ISSUES YOU OR SOMEONE ELSE RAISED AT THE PUBLIC HEARING DESCRIBED IN THIS NOTICE, OR IN WRITTEN CORRESPONDENCE DELIVERED TO THE CITY, AT OR PRIOR TO THE PUBLIC HEARING.

An enthusiastic crowd cheers on the Malibu boys water polo team during its first-round CIF games against La Canada.

The Malibu boys water polo team tangled with visiting La Canada in the first round of the CIF playoffs. The Sharks beat the Spartans 12-7, but would then lose to the Bonita Bearcats, the eventual CIF champ, in the second round.

ibu water polo program’s annual Alumni Game on Saturday at Malibu High School.

Sharks coach Hayden Goldberg, himself a former Malibu player, said the contest will be a fun experience featuring Sharks water polo alumni from squads as far back as the 1990s.

“Throughout the years, all these D1 athletes have come back to beat up on the boys, but this year our boys will be in shape and some of the older guys won’t be in shape,” he said. “It’s going to be a great time.”

The boys squad will face their elders at 1 p.m. The Sharks girls team will play a group of alumni at noon.

The alumni contest has been held nearly every Saturday after Thanksgiving since 1998. The event wasn’t held in 2018 because of the Woolsey Fire, and it was put on hiatus in 2020 because of the pandemic.

Power outages stopped the alumni spectacle in 2021.

Last year, the boys alumni beat their high school counterparts 15-14. A girls alumni team beat a team of girls from the 2021 and 2022 Sharks water polo teams 11-7.

The alumni celebration comes over three weeks after the Sharks’ season ended in the second round of the CIF playoffs. The team, champs of Tri-Valley League, were

downed 18-5 by the Bonita Bearcats. The Bearcats went on to win the CIF title.

Malibu defeated La Canada 12-7 in the first round of the playoffs.

Goldberg said Malibu played hard throughout the contest. That toughness, he said, has him excited about how good the team will be in 2024. The coach said the group’s 2023 campaign is a great base to build from.

“It was successful from the summer program when we had the boys show how much they were committed by being there for every practice, all the way to the start of our hell week, all the way to our league, and all the way to CIF,” he said. “The guys

that are coming back next year know what to do. We are just building stepping stones in the right direction.”

Malibu senior Filip Kurial stood out this season.

“He was a monster for us,” Goldberg said. “He did everything we asked of him and more. The kid is such a great kid.”

Malibu’s 10-0 victory over Cate in October put the league crown in their grasp.

Goldberg said that was the team’s best performance of the year.

“Defensively, offensively,” he said. “I didn’t even feel like I was coaching. They just did it. They were spectacular. Everything was firing.”
