Malibu Community mourns four Pepperdine students Residents demand killed on Pacific Coast Highway last Tuesday change in safety on PCH

The four have been awarded posthumous degrees alongside their graduating class of 2024

City Council meeting adjourned in memory of Pepperdine students killed in Oct. 17 crash

By SAMANTHA BRAVO Of The Malibu Times

Four lives were cut short last week.

Niamh Rolston, Peyton Stewart, Asha Weir, and Deslyn Williams.

The Pepperdine students were out for the night in Malibu when they were suddenly struck and killed in a violent car crash on Tuesday, Oct. 17, between Carbon Beach Road and Las Flores on Pacific Coast Highway.

“None of this makes any sense; our worlds have been shattered, our hearts have been shattered,” Pepperdine President Jim Gash said during a memorial on Friday, Oct. 20. “To find hope in the midst of despair, God wants us to grieve. God expects us to grieve.”

The deaths of the four students have left the Pepperdine and Malibu communities shocked, confused, and frustrated.

The day after the incident occurred, the Los Angeles Sheriff ’s Department held a press conference to provide answers on what caused this collision. Capt. Jennifer Seetoo told The Malibu Times she was notified about the press conference 30 minutes before going on air but was still able to lead an informative meeting.

“Let me start off first with just sending my condolences to the families that were impacted with the traffic collision that occured last night here in Malibu; this is an ongoing investigation, and detectives are investigating this,” Seetoo said.

“Preliminary investigations have revealed that the suspect, Fraser Michael Bohm, was driving a dark gray four-door sedan and traveling westbound on Pacific Coast Highway when he lost control of his vehicle and swerved towards the shoulder of the north side of Pacific Coast Highway.”

The collision happened at about 8:30 p.m. Tuesday night. Sheriff ’s officials said 22-year-old Bohm

“Make PCH Safer.”

The council chamber was filled with anger, grief, and urgency from residents and activists in making Pacific Coast Highway safer. The plea comes after four Pepperdine University students, Niamh Rolston, 20; Peyton Stewart, 21; Asha Weir, 21; and Deslyn Williams; 21, were killed in a crash on Oct. 17. All were seniors at Pepperdine’s Seaver College of Liberal Arts.

Malibu and Pepperdine community members attended Monday night’s meeting expressing their concerns with the dangers of PCH and urging the council to take immediate action.

Six days earlier, on Oct. 17, 22-year-old Fraser Michael Bohm was reported to be speeding westbound on PCH, swerved onto the north shoulder, and CONTINUED ON PAGE A6

slammed into three parked vehicles.

The four students were struck by the vehicles Bohm slammed into. All were pronounced dead at the scene.

Bohm, a Malibu resident and graduate of Malibu High School, was arrested and charged with vehicular manslaughter with gross negligence. He was released with minor injuries. The Sheriff ’s Department said a DUI investigation was conducted, but it is still ongoing.

After seeking official confirmation and the opportunity to speak with the families, the university released the students’ names Wednesday afternoon.

By BARBARA BURKE Special to The Malibu Times

With dangerous perils for those driving on Pacific Coast Highway and those near the highway being top of mind given a tragic crash that left four Pepperdine students dead, the community is curious

regarding why the approximately 5,700-square-foot Los Angeles County Sheriff ’s substation located on the campus of the new Santa Monica Community College is vacant.

Some residents are perplexed about why Los Angeles County Sheriff Jennifer Seetoo does not have keys to open the substation and commence operations, especially after the incident on Oct. 17 when Fraser Michael Bohm, a Malibu resident, lost control of his vehicle, careened into parked cars CONTINUED ON PAGE A7

Council appropriated $66,000 to fund the professional services agreement for the comprehensive school safety assessment

By BARBARA BURKE Special to The Malibu Times

“Parents feel a sense of urgency with regard to addressing school safety in Malibu schools,” said Kevin Keegan, president of the Malibu High School Parent Teacher

Parent Teacher Student Association.

“In our opinion, complacency is dangerous and the perception that school safety is not being prioritized is unsettling.” ​Keegan noted that although the PTSA had been assured by the City of Malibu and the Santa Monica Malibu School District that it would be provided with a summary of a recently funded private study assessing school safety in Malibu schools before school commenced, to date, the summary still has not been provided.

According to a July 18, 2022, staff

city manager for the City of Malibu, the City Council created a school safety ad hoc committee composed of then Mayor Paul Grisanti and Councilmember Bruce Silverstein.

Toney’s staff report also stated that the city “issued a request for proposals on July 15, 2022, in partnership with the district and the Los Angeles County Sheriff ’s Department seeking qualified firms with broad subject matter expertise and experience in kindergarten through 12th grade to conduct a comprehensive and holistic CONTINUED ON PAGE A7

The breathtaking allure of Malibu is a treasure we all hold dear, yet recent devastating events have left our community shattered. While we grieve and lament, we must unite in our resolve to take action and enhance safety measures for everyone in our cherished town.

I am convinced that now is the moment to investigate creative and pragmatic solutions — deploying speed cameras, advocating for bills in the State Legislature to involve Malibu in the trial program, and taking additional measures to guarantee our people’s safety.

My campaign began a decade ago, but the Taskforce established at that time has barely made progress. Their studies have not been put into practice, and fatalities continue to occur.

Four sets of parents have had their lives profoundly altered or ruined due to these preventable tragedies. It is on behalf of them and myself that I call for change.

We, not the government, must drive this transformation. Your vote can make a difference, particularly with an election year approaching. It’s time to raise our voices and effect change for all those who now gaze upon empty chairs once filled with joy and laughter.

One method to foster lasting change is through educational endeavors like the “21 Miles in Malibu” campaign we are striving to establish. These initiatives can raise awareness, inspire productive conversations, and ultimately produce tangible results.

Please visit 21milesinmalibu.com and sign up so that we can raise consciousness and find our collective voice; together, we can accomplish the changes we require.

Let us join forces, merging our passion and dedication, to prevent further anguish and preserve the place that occupies such a special spot in our hearts. Will you stand by me? Let’s make an impact!

Let’s ensure no mother or father endures another night of sorrow due to something so easily preventable.

Two things the government can do Dear Editor, We all now know about the tragic death of four Pepperdine students who were pedestrians on the side of the road. For this stretch of road and this problem, there are two things the government can do to reduce accidents and fatalities there: 1. The installation of speed cameras to inhibit speeding as people approach “Dead Man’s Curve.”

California has just re-enacted a law that would allow for speed cameras. While I generally oppose speed cameras, if they are used truly to prevent excessive speeding at dangerous places, it’s the only thing I can think of to limit some of the bad speeding at dangerous places on PCH. They do work to control speeding, and there will never be

enough law enforcement officers to patrol PCH at all hours of the day and night.

2. The re-installation of a fence along Deadman’s Curve — a fence that had been there for 50-60 years until recently — to prevent pedestrians from crossing PCH there to get to the beach. I only learned about this recently. But, it is an issue that the La Costa residents have been pleading with the city, the Coastal Commission, and the MRCA for several years now.

Apparently, the fence should be there, and had Coastal Commission approval. The fence needed repair, and a few years ago, well-meaning residents repaired it without getting permits, so the MRCA took it down right away — but has never put a fence back in. There is no reason for that fence not to have been re-installed at one of the most dangerous points on PCH. I’m not asking or suggesting that TMT take a position on anything — just report.

Jane Albrecht, Malibu Caltrans must slow down traffic Dear Editor, I am heartbroken for the families of the four beautiful young women killed on PCH. Their vibrant young lives, as shiny as a newly minted penny, gone in an instant.

And I am angry that this happened. Again. Why? In my opinion, Caltrans. It’s called Pacific Coast Highway, but it’s not really a highway. It’s a lively neighborhood road full of walkers, beach-goers, cyclists, and young students leaving a party.

These deaths won’t stop until Caltrans lowers speed limits. And they need to be enforced by speed cameras and/or the Sheriff ’s Department. And the fine for speeding through high pedestrian neighborhoods like this should be high.

When we first bought our house in 2012, we didn’t know that any time we left our house — turning on or off PCH — it would be a harrowing, death-defying exercise.

No joke. It truly is. When I spoke to neighbors about petitioning Caltrans to slow down traffic, I was told that Caltrans said they won’t slow down traffic because it will ... slow down traffic.

The area where the four women were killed is a lawless thoroughfare. Our house is right above it.

The speed limit is too high, and I’ve never seen sheriff ’s [deputies] patrolling there in the 11 years we’ve been there. So people come around that Carbon Beach bend and gun it like it’s a racetrack.

Year after year, there are multiple deaths on PCH. Twenty-five people have died since 2018 — mostly pedestrians. But instead of Caltrans doing something — anything — to protect human lives, they wanted to widen PCH and push more traffic through Malibu near the shopping center where there are the most pedestrians. It’s unconscionable.

To the higher-ups at Caltrans who refuse to slow down traffic, I call on you to go to the funerals of these four young women and feel

Honoring the Lives Lost on PCH

I

t is with a heavy heart that we dedicate this week’s issue of The Malibu Times to remember and honor the four lives tragically lost last week in the horrific accident on PCH: Niamh Rolston, Peyton Stewart, Asha Weir, and Deslyn Williams. The void left by their absence will be felt by their families, friends, Pepperdine University, and our entire Malibu community for a long time to come.

Our heartfelt thoughts and prayers go out to all those affected by this devastating loss.

The Malibu Times has been here before, reporting on tragedy and loss, and it is disheartening to find ourselves in this familiar position once more. We mourn these young lives cut short, and we must recognize our responsibility to those we have lost, to the safety of our children, and to the well-being of our community.

We cannot continue to rest on our laurels, celebrating our stunning coastline while turning a blind eye to the undeniable perils it poses.

The fundamental question we must confront is, “When will we say ‘enough’ and mean it?”

As the co-owner and publisher of The Malibu Times, I want to assure our community that we are committed to doing everything within our capabilities to drive forward the essential changes needed to make our roads safer. We consider ourselves fortunate to have a city council that stands prepared and eager to institute these necessary reforms. They are the pain of these families. They are not statistics. They have real mothers and fathers and siblings and friends experiencing unimaginable grief.

I looked up the time difference between driving 21 miles at 50 mph and 35 mph. The difference is only 11 minutes. At the very least, traffic should be slowed down to 25 mph where there’s beach access, where front doors are 10 feet from traffic where these four college students were killed, and at all the shopping centers.

I truly believe that if speed limits are lowered with big consequences for violators, lives will be saved.

Caltrans, please slow down traffic.

Katy Ballard, Malibu Deep concern regarding community safety on PCH Dear Editor, I am writing to express my deep concern and frustration regarding the recent tragic accident on PCH that resulted in the loss of four lives.

These unfortunate incidents have left our community grieving and demanding immediate action to ensure the safety of all travelers on

supported by a dedicated city manager and a proficient city staff who possess the expertise to transform these proposals into reality.

This is our moment of reckoning—a moment when we must bring about substantial change. It is not enough to offer condolences and move on. We must act, and we must act now.

To provide a platform for this crucial discourse, we have allocated a substantial portion of the upcoming Malibu Business Round Table on Nov. 3 to delve into what our community can collectively achieve. We extend an open invitation to all to join in on this conversation. Action is imperative, and as history has shown, when we come together, we can make the impactful change that is desperately needed.

In memory of those we have tragically lost and those who bear the scars of past events, let us draw strength from the stories that have been shared. We must focus on tangible measures that can make an impactful difference to secure Malibu’s safety for generations to come.

All us of here at The Malibu Times, promise to keep reporting on this topic and to keep it at the forefront of our coverage as long as we are able. The memory of Niamh, Peyton, Asha, and Deslyn deserves nothing less.

We owe it to them, to their families, and to our community.

this critical road.

What is even more tragic is the fact that this accident was caused by a local resident. This underscores the urgent need for measures that encourage safe driving practices among our local population, who are intimately familiar with the PCH but may sometimes underestimate the risks associated with it.

During last night’s [Monday’s] council meeting, it was interesting to hear that money is not the problem when it comes to improving safety on the PCH. However, as a concerned citizen, I would like to know what exactly needs to happen for our local government to take decisive action to prevent further accidents on this stretch of road that spans 21 miles.

One potential solution that has been discussed is the installation of medians on the PCH. Medians could serve as a physical barrier to prevent head-on collisions, which have been a significant concern. I believe this is a step in the right direction, and I would like to urge the council to move forward with this proposal as soon as possible.

Furthermore, I would like to suggest the following steps: Increase law enforcement presence: Regular patrols and stricter

enforcement of speed limits can deter reckless driving and improve safety.

Public awareness campaigns: Launch campaigns that educate both locals and tourists about the specific hazards of PCH, emphasizing the importance of cautious driving.

Road maintenance and repair: Ensure that the road is well-maintained and free from hazards, such as potholes and debris, which can contribute to accidents.

Community involvement: Engage with local organizations and residents to gather input and support for safety initiatives on the PCH. The loss of four lives is an unthinkable tragedy, and we cannot afford to wait for more accidents to occur before taking action. It is the responsibility of our local government to prioritize the safety of its citizens and visitors. I implore you to consider the suggestions above and take immediate action to make Pacific Coast Highway safer for everyone who travels it.

Thank you for your attention to this critical matter.

ADRIAN HENRIQUEZ TOMSICH YOUNG 1964-2023

M

alibu, Woodland Hills, and Buenos Aires are in mourning over the sudden passing of Adrian (Henriquez) Tomsich-Young on Wednesday, October 4, 2023.

Adrian was a true bon vivant and long-time store owner of Malibu Grooming Pet Boutique at the Malibu Country Mart.

Born May 20, 1964, in Buenos Aires, Argentina (a true “Porteño”), he studied law at the Catholic University of Argentina.

Adrian soon began working as a dog handler across the South American dog show circuit (his specialty Afghan Hounds!).

He immigrated to the USA from Buenos Aires in 1991 and began working the American dog show circuit (including Westminster).

He then decided to permanently pursue the American Dream, and, in 1996, he went to work at Hollywood Hounds, making it a truly successful business.

Two years later, in 1998, he started working at Malibu Grooming, eventually becoming owner in 2007 with his boutique business partner and long-time best friend, Oscar Cascabelo.

After many happy Malibu years, he (finally) retired early in 2023 and

spent a good portion of the year working to remodel his family’s flat in Buenos Aires.

He is pre-deceased by his mother, Juana (Tomsich) Henriquez, father, Jorge Henriquez, brother Jorgito, and fur baby Tino, who he always said was his reason for living.

He is survived by the long-time love of his life and husband of 28 years, Linville (Lin) Young, his beloved sister Nydia Henriquez, many loving in-laws, uncles, aunts, and cousins (both here and Argentina), fur babies Chico, Coco, Chanel, Freddy, and especially his beloved chihuahua, Bianca, whom he often said was his NEWEST reason for living.

Adrian will be forever missed by all who knew him. A memorial service will be held at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, please donate to the animal rescue of your choice.

Malibu earns award for transparency and excellence in financial reporting for 22nd consecutive year The City of Malibu was awarded a Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting from the Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA) for its Fiscal Year 2021-2022 Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR).

Throughout its history, Malibu has proven its commitment to responsible, transparent management of taxpayer dollars, as this 22nd consecutive award shows. That is a huge benefit to the community, because the city’s excellent financial management enables it to fund projects and programs the community needs, and to be better positioned to weather disasters and economic downturns.

The award is judged by an impartial panel of government finance professionals to meet the high standards of the ACFR program. The GFOA is a non-profit professional association serving approximately 17,500 government finance professionals, and the Certificate of Achievement is considered the highest form of recognition in the area of governmental accounting and financial reporting.

LOCAL NEWS Long-awaited groundbreaking to take place at location of future Malibu High School Community invited to attend ceremony celebrating new chapter in local education supporting 21st-century learning

By JUDY ABEL Special to The Malibu Times

A new, modern, and cutting-edge designed Malibu High School is about to break ground after many years in the planning. The public is invited to celebrate the momentous occasion as anticipated construction finally gets underway and the dream of a high-tech, educational space is about to become a reality.

According to school district officials, the decades-old and outmoded Malibu High School was not just in need of a facelift, but entirely new construction.

Phase one of the new Malibu campus plan is designed to offer a 21st-century learning environment and provide progressive educational spaces for Malibu students. The building’s design harmonizes with Malibu’s coastal community aesthetics, and offers a more seamless blend into its beautiful surroundings.

Importantly for many in the community, this phase will also lead to the separation of Malibu Middle School from the high school. The demolition of the former Juan Cabrillo Elementary School, completed in 2022, cleared the way for construction.

Additionally, all hazardous materials, in-

cluding polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), that have been an issue for the past decade have been removed from the site.

The impressive new building spans more than 70,000 square feet and will include general classrooms, art classrooms, special education facilities, science, technology, engineering, and math classrooms, campus food services (with separate spaces for the middle school), a library, and high school administrative offices.

“There will be plenty of room to display student work and glimpses beyond to student activities in action,” a Santa Monica Malibu Unified School District announce-

ment on the project states.

For a building so close to the coastline, the campus plan envisions a student eating area that will feature panoramic Pacific Ocean views previously mainly visible from the athletics fields.

Students will have access to an adaptable, spacious, light-filled, double-height commons area that opens to the outdoors, encouraging social connection, dining, collaboration, and private study. The innovative design incorporates concrete and copper-clad walls that draw inspiration from the natural surroundings, fostering a strong connection between indoor and outdoor

spaces. Photovoltaic panels on the overhead canopy will provide both shade for students and contribute to energy conservation.

Noemi Avila-Zamudio, SMMUSD deputy bond manager, remarked, “The journey from concept to realization in building a new high school is often filled with challenges, but it’s a testament to the collective effort and determination of everyone who believed in the importance of this project.”

Dr. Antonio Shelton, SMMUSD Superintendent, expressed his excitement.

“This school will allow our students to have an educational experience that encourages exploration, project-based learn-

ing, and the importance of collaboration,” he said. “Our students will have classrooms that are safe, conducive to learning, and large enough to facilitate instructional practices that are cutting-edge.”

The project is scheduled to be completed by the fall of 2025 and is funded by Measure M, which was overwhelmingly approved by Malibu voters in 2018. Phase 1 of construction is estimated to cost $110 million. NAC Architecture is collaborating with Koning Eizenberg Architecture, and C.W. Driver Companies is the contractor overseeing the project.

To celebrate this remarkable achievement, the Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District (SMMUSD) will host a groundbreaking ceremony on Monday, Oct. 30, at 4 p.m. The event promises to be a significant milestone in the history of Malibu High School and the community.

Many community members have called the construction of the new Malibu High School campus “long overdue” and have said it’s a symbol of hope, dedication, and the unwavering commitment of the Malibu community to provide the best educational opportunities for its students. As the new MHS takes shape, it promises to be a beacon of learning, innovation, and community pride for years to come.

Those who wish to attend the groundbreaking event are encouraged to RSVP via this link: https://bit.ly/ MHSGrndbrkng1023. Sturdy, closedtoed shoes are required, as the ceremony will take place on an active construction site. Parking will be available in the student parking lot adjacent to the pool and behind the bus barn.

The Parks and Recreation Commission met on Oct. 17 to receive an update on the Malibu Bluffs Snack Shack.

Community Service Director Kristen Riesgo presented a few examples of refabricated facilities and asked the commission for recommendations.

The Malibu Little League community has been excited about the Snack Shack since the Malibu City Council approved the project earlier this year. Parks and Recreation members and young members of the public spoke, advocating for the Snack Shack and its importance to the community.

The Malibu Little League Parade also returned on Closing Day on June 3, where hundreds of families, friends, and even council members joined to celebrate the children, the teams, and a successful season. The parade also featured a temporary

During the meeting, the commission shared similar remarks on storage and restroom options.

“I think it’s really cool that we’re starting to work on this, I think a lot of the ideas Jake [Lingo] had were really solid, I think that when we go into doing this building, it’s a smart idea that we consider everything that we might need at the Bluffs in terms of infrastructure,” Dane Skophammer said. “It would be nice to get a building that directly represented our needs.”

Questions arose during the meeting: How much storage space would the teams need, how many restrooms they think they would need, and if they need more outdoor seating?

“It would be helpful if Little League can do an inventory of what’s in their storage container and let us know how much storage space they need,” Commissioner Suzanne Guildmann said. “In general, though, you always need more storage than you think you do, so

I would like to see, I think four restrooms is fair here, I don’t know if we want to just go so far as to make them all gender-neutral.”

Riesgo said she’s going to give an update in the items requested

by January 2024.

Risego moved on to provide department updates such as the erosion cleanup at Charmlee Wilderness Park and the restoration of the bleachers at Malibu Bluffs Park.

For capital improvement projects, Legacy Park closed on Oct. 19 for arbors and benches repairs, there will be sidewalk repairs on Nov. 2 at Malibu Bluffs Park, and Trancas Canyon Park playground will be closed for irrigation and slope repairs.

Bohm is facing charges of vehicular manslaughter with gross negligence for the death of the four women.

LA County Supervisor Lindsey Horvath was among those who spoke at City Council, urging the council to work together to prevent another fatality.

“I join all of you and the Pepperdine community in grieving for these precious lives cut far too short; not only were these young women students in the community, they were engaged in helping to build a better and safer Malibu, working with the Malibu Chamber, and becoming part of the community, as they studied and planned for their future,” Horvath said.

“This is truly a time for mourning, but it also a time for action. Safety along the 21mile stretch of PCH has been a problem for far too long. As your LA County supervisor, I am committed to identifying and implementing solutions in partnership with all of you in the city and with our state agencies who hold authority over our state roadways.”

Horvath said she has been in communication with State Senator Ben Allen and Assemblymember Jacqui Irwin.

Horvath said she is working with sheriff ’s and highway officials to reduce speed and increase enforcement.

“All of us are united and committed to working in partnership with you, we will not let the boundaries of government bureaucracy be the reason we do not take action; we will bring everyone together to find and implement real solutions,” Horvath said. “It’s going to take all of us with laser focus and accountability to each other to get this done.”

Sheriff ’s Department Capt. Jennifer Seetoo shared her thoughts.

“A couple hours before I came to this meeting, I met with three of the families, and that was one of the hardest things I’ve ever done as a police officer,” Seetoo said. “I don’t ever want to do that again, it was just grueling looking into those parents’ eyes, so we are going to make a change. My focus is going to be education, enforcement, and engineering.”

Seetoo named a few Malibu residents who will help in bringing awareness to speeding on PCH. She said she spoke to Pepperdine students and encouraged them to watch the film by Michel Shane, “21 Miles in Malibu.”

“Every student should be fortunate to watch ‘21 Miles in Malibu,’ so they understand the safety issues of this city,” Seetoo said. “Even [to] get to the grocery store, for the most part, most of the people have

The City Council public hearing scheduled for Oct. 23 on regulations related to Temporary Use Permits (TUPs) has been postponed. The city will announce the date of the hearing as soon as it is scheduled. The hearing is to consider an ordinance and the Planning Commission’s recommendations on updating regulations

to use that state highway in the city where there is a college town.”

While residents have already shared their concerns with the lack of enforcement on PCH, Seetoo said they are still lacking sheriff ’s deputies by 30 percent.

Not even a week after the fatal collision, deputies pulled over a driver for going over 109 mph on Pacific Coast Highway.

The driver was heading westbound, around the Civic Center area, just before 1:30 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 21. The deputy determined she was traveling at 109 mph with a lidar gun, which is more than double the posted 45 mph speed limit.

The woman, who does not have a driver’s license, was arrested on a charge of reckless driving. Her car was impounded for 30 days, according to deputies.

Among the plans discussed at Monday’s meeting were exploring an emergency declaration that could allow the city to implement lower speed limits on PCH, increasing patrols by the Sheriff ’s Department and/or California Highway Patrol, and working with state legislators to bring speed cameras to Malibu. The city recently implemented eight Automated License Plate Recognition cameras in certain intersections in Malibu. The cameras will be used by the Los Angeles County Sheriff ’s Department. The locations are: PCH/Lunita Road, PCH/Kanan Dume Road, Malibu Canyon Road/Civic Center Way, PCH/Cross Creek Road, and PCH/ South Topanga Canyon Boulevard.

The Malibu Times will follow up with the city and Sheriff ’s Department on the

progress of those cameras.

Seetoo hopes to implement speed cameras on PCH. Malibu/Lost Hills Sgt. James Arens said the incident was still ongoing and was unable to provide any more information.

California State Senator Ben Allen shared his remarks through Zoom.

“I really hope that we can start a meaningful dialogue together at the county level, in the city, and your representatives at the state level, to think about more fundamental changes to PCH to improve safety,” Allen said. “The situation is untenable, it’s unacceptable. We don’t want any more people [to] die; we don’t want any more families to suffer.”

Malibu Mayor Steve Urhing said he received an estimated two hours of public comment. Residents and families shared their experiences in loss and urged the council to make PCH safer.

Speaker Jane Albrecht thanked the council and officials for speaking but asked them to continue their commitment after this meeting.

“Stay with it, three months from now, six months from now, a year from now; try to remember the feeling we all had tonight,” Albrecht said.

Albrecht hopes the city will also work together with Pepperdine.

A representative from Pepperdine did not speak at the meeting, but Director of Development Heidi Bernard attended in person.

Updated Zonehaven Evacuation Zone maps for Malibu to be sent Know your zone! The City of Malibu will be mailing out information cards to all households in Malibu about the updated Zonehaven Evacuation Zone numbers for Malibu. Malibu’s zones are now numbered MAL-C111 to MAL-C114. Los Angeles County adopted new official disaster response and evacuation zones and the new Zonehaven AWARE online tool in November 2022. All county agencies and cities, including the City of Malibu, will adhere to them in a disaster. The new zones for Malibu are the same as the city’s evacuation zones (11-14) that were adopted in February 2020 as part of the city’s official Mass Evacuation Plan, following a recommendation after the Woolsey Fire.

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

PTA PRESSES FOR SUMMARY CONTINUED FROM A1

safety assessment.” The report further noted that the assessment “will extend beyond physical security and safety procedures to include a review and analysis of behavioral health programs, policies and procedures as well.” Requests for proposals were due by Aug. 5, 2022.

In seeking such expertise, the city requested a comprehensive on-site physical security assessment of all four public schools in Malibu and private schools.

The review would address “exterior and interior of school building, existing school security personnel, perimeter controls, security cameras, locking systems, building access and bell, clock and public address systems,” as well as an assessment of existing safety and emergency programs and policies, and procedures for both day school activities and after school activities, including use by outside agencies.”

Toney’s report also noted that the sheriff would provide the school district a liaison sergeant to help address school safety needs and the sergeant “will oversee the Juvenile Intervention Team and produce new ideas and strategies for the team.” The report noted that the sergeant was tasked with considering and reviewing programs and ideas pertaining to drug recognition for teachers and parents, diversion programs, lockdown procedures for staff, lockdown drills, emergency plan terminology, site security walkthroughs, evacuation plans, reunification procedures, threat assessments, and active shooter training in schools.”

Toney noted that the ad hoc committee discussed with SMMUSD representatives the possibility of adding “additional unarmed campus security officers to Malibu campuses as soon as possible.” Such officers are, according to Toney’s report, a union-protected employee class. The report stated that SMMUSD stated that it did not have a current list of eligible applicants to hire from and that recruitment needed to occur.

Although a request for proposals was contemplated seeking a private security service, the ad hoc committee decided to issue a request for qualifications to develop a list of quality security firms and, upon doing so, to engage such a firm.

The request for proposals sought an internal and confidential written report inclusive of “detailed findings, a gap analysis, prioritized list of recommendations based on the assessment and a summary presentation, as well as a summary report that can be shared with the public.”

On Oct. 11, 2022, the City Council appropriated $66,000 to fund the professional services agreement for the comprehensive school safety assessment. On Oct. 24, 2022, the city executed the agreement with Guidepost Solutions, LLC, which was retained to review security safety measures, to learn how security personnel are deployed in emergencies, as well as how they are trained and their knowledge of the schools’ technology systems. Guidepost was also tasked with analyzing Sheriffs’ emergency services response times to city schools. The agreement stated that an initial draft report would be presented to the city, and that following receipt of feedback a final report would be submitted along with findings and key recommendations of all areas identified within the scope of the contract and that Guidepost will provide a summary report that can be shared with the public.

The Malibu Times inquired of the city and SMMUSD when the summary would be forthcoming. Susan Dueñas, public safety manager for the City of Malibu, stated that her staff was developing one and that SMMUSD will soon review the summary report.

According to Keegan, the PTSA has not asked

and killed four female Pepperdine students. ​“We are trying to open the substation, but the cupboard is bare and Los Angeles County does not have any officers to allocate to the new substation,” Mayor Pro Tem Doug Stewart said. “We cannot pull officers staffed at Lost Hills Sheriff ’s Station as it has jurisdiction all the way to Chatsworth and needs to serve citizens over the hill.”

“One of the first things the city did with regard to calendar year 2023 funding was to allocate monies to pay for a regional lieutenant and a sergeant as well as for vehicles for each officer and for a HOST unit vehicle for the homeless outreach team to use as well as for administrative and maintenance costs,” Stewart said.

“The antenna remains a concern and the county has said we cannot open the substation until all outstanding issues are cleared up.”

Stewart commended LA County Supervisor Lindsey Horvath for “taking the reins and trying to expedite permitting processing of a coastal development permit.”

A s w i t h m a ny t h i n g s governmental, multiple municipal subdivisions have jurisdiction over the PCH. Councilmember Paul Grisanti noted the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) controls the speed limit.

to review the entire Guidepost consultancy report, recognizing the need for it to remain private due to security concerns.

The PTSA has repeatedly asked for the summary since early summer, hoping to receive it before school commenced. However, although reviewing the summary was listed as an action item, because the report has not been finalized, the City Council has had to defer addressing that item.

Dueñas stated that a meeting between the city and SMMUSD representatives has been deferred a few times and that the meeting will occur in early November. She also noted that although her staff has prepared a summary, release of the summary must abide SMMUSD review.

Gail Pinsker, SMMUSD’s community and public relations officer, responded to Malibu Times’ query asking to see the report and to interview the principals of the town’s four elementary schools.

“This is a security report that we are not releasing to the public nor are we scheduling interviews on this topic with principals, faculty or district leaders,” Pinsker responded in an email. “This report is protected from release per Public Records Act.” Pinsker indicated that SMMUSD is “currently reviewing and in the process of implementing some suggestions noted in the report and the district will be meeting with Malibu city staff soon to discuss the report.”

Carey Upton, SMMUSD’s chief operations officer, responded to The Malibu Times, stating, “The safety and well-being of our students and staff are our top priorities. We always seek to make our campuses as safe and secure as possible, while fostering a sense of comfort and belonging for everyone.” Upton noted that SMMUSD “has implemented many systems in the past few years toward this goal, including updates to gates, access, visitor management, exterior cameras, alarm systems, along with classroom safety protocols.

We continue to evolve and improve every year.”

“There is legislation regarding using speed cameras in California on a limited basis and Capt.

Seetoo has written a letter asking for Malibu to be included in that effort,” he said.

Commissioner Horvath is advocating that Malibu be included in the state’s pilot program using speed limits, according to Grisanti. ​ G risanti added, “Although there have been proposals to improve Pacific Coast Highway over the years, there is simply not enough space to make a lot of the modifications that have been suggested.”

Grisanti advocates deploying Arson Watch to help, noting that organization has a contract with the Los Angeles Sheriff ’s Department to use the department’s police radios.

“Arson Watch members could act as lookouts between Big Rock and La Costa and when they see cars racing, they could call the deputies on patrol informing them of the violations.” he suggested.

Residents advocate law reinstating California Highway Patrol on PCH ​Some residents of Malibu have other ideas: They think the state elected officials representing Malibu should take action.

“Senator Bill Allen and Assemblywoman Jacqui Irwin are the two people who need to introduce a bill repealing California Vehicle Code Section 2400.6 to green-light the restoration

of California Highway Patrol monitoring PCH in Malibu which would be funded by the state,” Ryan Embree, a former City Council candidate, community advocate, and former Malibu Public Safety Commissioner said.

Embree referred to a law entitled “Enforcement of Laws Regulating Operation of Vehicles on State Highway 1 in City of Malibu,” enacted in 1993, which states that the California Transportation Commissioner “shall enforce all laws regulating the operation of vehicles on and the use of any portion of PCH in Malibu, if requested by the city, and if a contract is entered into between the state and the city.

Any such contract shall require that an amount be paid to the commissioner that is equal to the costs incurred by the (California Department of Transportation) for services provided under the contract.” “​ The county and Sen. Ben Allen’s offices are working with City of Malibu staff to get the conditional use permit authorized,” Constance Farrell, director of communications for Horvath, said. “We are very focused on that.”

Farrell added that Horvath is also working with the Gov. Gavin Newsom and State Senator Ben Allen to address safety issues on PCH, including her urging to have Malibu participate in speed camera pilot programs and lowering the speed limit.

On Oct. 12, SMMUSD reviewed its annual Comprehensive School Safety Plan, an analysis and overview that is mandated by state law separate and apart from the Guidepost consultancy contract commissioned by the city. That plan addresses schools having a lockdown button and providing notice to the Los Angeles Sheriff ’s Department, having perimeters such as eight-feet fences, fence toppers, and glass facades, monitoring cafeterias, libraries, entries to school buildings and the exterior of restrooms, door hardware upgrades, speed controls and vehicle barriers, upgrading the hardware for doors, exterior lighting, having card readers and intercoms at all pedestrian entry points, and having automated electronic access gates. ​Frustrated by the time lag, the PTSA continues to urge the city to divulge the Guidepost safety summary that it requested months ago, Keegan stated, noting parents’ safety concerns were heightened due to a May 3 incident at the Getty Villa, which cut short a middle school field trip and briefly forced a lockdown at Malibu High School’s gym.

At the Getty Villa, sixth-graders and their chaperones and teachers were confronted by a young man shouting “Don’t go to school. It’s gonna kill your brain,” according to a young student whom The Malibu Times interviewed after the incident. ​This publication recounted that the man followed the school group to the amphitheater and got into a verbal altercation with a security guard who confronted him. The suspect also briefly pounded on the school bus as students were trying to board the bus to leave the site. The school bus was escorted by police back to campus.

On May 3, SMMUSD issued a statement noting that law enforcement had lifted the lockdown, determining there was no credible threat to security.

“The person of interest, a Malibu High School graduate, and his parents have been interviewed and their home thoroughly searched,” the statement said.

“An investigation determined that the subject was concerned for the safety of the students and perceived a threat, but had no plans to carry out any type of threat.”

The statement also noted that SMMUSD “supported the family’s interest in seeking necessary support and intervention for their young-adult family member.” ​The PTSA continues to press for the summary of Guidepost’s report. ​“A reason safety is so important in a learning environment relates to Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs (learning theory),” Keegan explained, referring to https://www.webmd.com/mental-health/what-ismaslow-hierarchy-of-needs.

“The most basic needs for a child or teenager are physiological (air, food, water, shelter, etc.). The next most important need is safety, specifically, feeling safe and secure in one’s environment — psychological safety.

We have to take the ‘freedom from fear’ seriously and that means, with the horrific rise in campus-based gun violence nationwide, we have to do more than usual, not maintain the status quo, to ensure our children can attend school day-in and day-out with that freedom and with a strong sense of safety.”

The PTSA will persevere until it obtains the safety summary, Keegan stated.

“The PTSA and others will review these recently released recommendations with the principals and administrators after the official summary report is shared,” he said. “For now, our intention is to begin communicating with parents and families about all that has been done and invested in over the past three to five years to enhance safety and security on campus as we prepare to communicate any new plans because we want to ensure the school leaders and faculty agree regarding which of Guidepost’s recommendations to act on. This is why it would have been beneficial to have received the report in August as planned.”

Speed cameras needed on deadly Pacific Coast Highway Governor Newsom approves AB 645; Malibu is not included

By BENJAMIN MARCUS Special to The Malibu Times

Speed provides the one genuinely modern pleasure.

- Aldous Huxley.

Running a NASCAR track through a residential neighborhood, beach community, and university town is a bad idea. Everyone in Malibu knows that, because anyone who has lived in Malibu for any length of time has witnessed, heard, dodged, cringed, caused, been inconvenienced, victimized, traumatized, or all of the above by highspeed driving traffic accidents.

Idiotic, irresponsible, adrenalized, deadly driving is epidemic. Citizens living along PCH face the daily dread of backing their cars onto the Autobahn. Surfers running across PCH mesmerized by the waves play Frogger with their lives. Bicyclists avoiding car doors. Motorcyclists splitting lanes.

Moonshadows employees regularly run across the “valet of death.”

PCH is a charnel house and has been going back at least as far as World War II when — believe it or not — driving PCH at night with headlights on was illegal.

There was a fear Japanese subs would use those lights for targeting, but there were dozens of car crashes and deaths because of that law.

And through the decades, PCH crashes have injured, maimed, or claimed dozens and hundreds, famous and anonymous: “Romancing the Stone” writer Diane Thomas in 1985. Ben Vereen seriously injured by David Foster in 1992. Emily Shane in 2010. Caitlyn Jenner involved in a fatal accident at Corral Canyon Road in 2015. And now Niamh Rolston, Peyton Stewart, Asha Weir, and Deslyn Williams.

On and on. PCH doesn’t play favorites.

Everybody knows PCH is deadly dangerous and there have been decades of hand-wringing, editorializing, and attempted legislating — but like the weather, everyone talks about high speed on PCH but no one does enough to monitor that speed and mitigate the risks.

But now there is a ray of hope.

In mid-September, the California State Assembly and Senate wisely and finally voted into law Assembly Bill 645. Subtitled “Vehicles: Speed Safety System Pilot Program,” the law allows pilot programs for speed cameras and other mechanized traffic control systems in certain California test jurisdictions.

Gov. Gavin Newsom signed the bill into law on Oct. 13 — one day after 25-yearold Geoffrey’s employee Luis Fernando Escobar Gonzalez died in a single-car — possibly high speed — accident on Malibu Canyon Road that closed it for five hours.

Four days after Newsom signed the law, 22-year-old Fraser Bohm crashed his BMW on “Dead Man’s Curve,” causing the death of four Pepperdine seniors. The investigation closed PCH both ways for 15 hours.

PCH through Malibu is controlled by Caltrans and monitored by the Los Angeles Sheriff ’s Department. There aren’t enough deputies to patrol the two main exits out of Malibu. Parking dummies in sheriff ’s vehicles is cute, but disregarded by locals because after a day they know it’s a decoy.

Speed bumping PCH-like Malibu Road would slow things down, but will never happen — too many low-slung Ferraris and Lamborghinis — not to mention fire trucks and ambulances need to get places in a hurry.

And PCH is a state highway, not Malibu Road.

These are the days of miracles and wonders: Electric cars, Soyrizo, artificial intelligence, yoga pants, shooting rockets to Mars. Surely a clever, tool-loving species can devise some electronic, computerized system that can accurately gauge the speed of a moving vehicle, identify the owner/ driver of the vehicle, and send them a notice of warning and/or violation?

Some public safety officials and citizens believe the unblinking, infallible eye of speed cameras are the only way to monitor and mitigate speed on roads and highways.

Newsom has wisely signed that bill into law — but unfortunately the law does not yet include the place that needs it most.

Assembly Bill 645 was written by 44th District Assembly member Laura Friedman and was passed by the California Senate 29/6/5 on Sept. 12 and the California

LA County Sheriff’s Capt. Jennifer Seetoo provides an update on the the fatal Oct. 17 traffic incident at the City Council meeting on Monday, Oct. 23.

Assembly on Sept. 13 62/9/9.

The legislation can be downloaded here for those who want to read all of it: leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billVotes Client.xhtml?bill_id=202320240AB645 Regarding Malibu, AB645 disregards Malibu. The bill as passed and signed into law designates the cities of Los Angeles, San Jose, Oakland, Glendale, and Long Beach, and the city and county of San Francisco as permitted to establish a Speed Safety System Pilot Program if the system meets specified requirements — which are minutely detailed in the bill.

That’s the city and county of San Francisco but only the city of Los Angeles, which means Malibu is not included in the pilot program — a fatal oversight.

Section 1 states that traffic speed enforcement is critical to reduce factors that contribute to traffic collisions that result in fatalities or injuries. But traditional enforcement methods have had a well-documented disparate impact on communities of color, and implicit or explicit racial bias in police traffic stops puts drivers of color at risk.

What that means is, machines don’t discriminate by race, creed, color, zip code, net worth or value of vehicle — only on speed.

Under AB645, jurisdictions with a population of less than 300,000, the bill allows no more than nine systems.

For Malibu, some of those locations are obvious: The intersection of Stuart Ranch Road and PCH. The Frogger zone from the Malibu Pier to Cross Creek Road.

Both sides of the approach to “Dead Man’s Curve” at Carbon Canyon Road and Dukes. Malibu Canyon at PCH. (While writing this, Howdy Kabrins asked who owns the La Salsa building and statue. He wants to hang a “SLOW DOWN!” sign from La Salsa Man.) According to AB 645, the zones watched by speed cameras must be forewarned with “Photo Enforced” signs no more than 500 feet before the placement of the system.

Under the pilot program, those caught speeding will be issued warning notices rather than notices of violation for excess speed detected by the speed safety systems during the first 60 calendar days of enforcement under the program.

For those worried about Big Brother and privacy: “The speed safety system, to the extent feasible, shall be angled and focused so as to only capture photographs of speeding violations and shall not capture identifying images of other drivers, vehicles, or pedestrians.”

The speed cameras will be triggered by cars traveling 11 MPH or more over the posted speed limit and notices of violation shall only be issued to registered owners of those vehicles based on that evidence.

Penalties will be $50 for 11 to 15 mph over, $100 for 16 to 25 mph, $200 for 26 mph or more over the posted speed limit.

And those going 100 mph or more over

the posted speed limit, the fine will be $500 — and most likely a stern talkingto by a judge.

There is a lot more to the law, but that’s the gist as it applies and doesn’t apply Malibu. There are more than a few public safety officials all too familiar with the danger of PCH who are all for it.

In 2019, I heard, then saw, a 76-yearold man hit by a car and killed during the opening of Cliffdiver restaurant. In 2009, I saw the son of a famous actor lose control of his giant American car heading westbound at Surfrider, hop the curb on the inland side and nearly kill a surfer girl changing out of her wetsuit. And as someone who lived along PCH next to the Verizon building for many years — and learned to hate the sound of breaking glass — and as someone who crosses with the light at PCH and Webb Way a couple of times a day, I know all too well how crazy dangerous PCH is. We all do.

People drag race along Malibu Road behind Ralphs. Dumb.

I began writing this story on the morning of Tuesday, Oct. 17, after reading that Governor Newsom had approved a speed camera law. Just as I said for years, Malibu needs a sports bar — and now we have Sparkys! — and I’ve also believed speed cameras are the only way to monitor and mitigate speed and reduce casualties on PCH. On Oahu, the police drive their own cars with blue lights always visible flashing on top. The thinking is, anyone who sees that blue light will stop doing what they’re doing wrong — including speeding. I say the same thing could work on PCH: Speed cameras with lots of bells and whistles threatening fines would slow people down — even if half the cameras were decoys.

That Tuesday morning, I began writing this and contacting Caltrans, the Highway Patrol, and other agencies. An email to the Lost Hills Station for the Los Angeles Sheriff ’s Department returned an almost immediate phone call from Capt. Jennifer Seetoo.

Think of the angry African American female cop exasperated by dealing with drunk hooligans in “The Hangover”: “Every F@#$% day!!!” Captain Seetoo is a more polite, professional, measured version of that angry cop.

But it’s not at all funny. It’s life or death.

Every F@#$% day, week, month, year!!!

In an animated, emotional conversation, Seetoo said, in essence, that her deputies were more than fatigued — physically and emotionally — by constantly having to deal with injury and fatality accidents along PCH and throughout the Lost Hills jurisdiction, the majority of them caused by high-speed driving but also illegal turns: Comforting injured and dying accident victims, contacting next of kin and blocking PCH and Canyon roads for as much

as 12 hours to allow for thorough investigations and ensure justice for victims.

Seetoo believes speed cameras have proven effective in Europe, and she would love to see them applied throughout Malibu and elsewhere — Calabasas and Westlake Village. High-speed driving is a problem everywhere. See: The Iskander brothers in Westlake Village, September of 2020.

After a day of emailing, calling, researching in a sad case of synchronicity — sadchronicity — that same evening at around 8:30 p.m., a Malibu kid caused the death of four young Pepperdine girls and made ghoulish headlines around the world.

A day after the accident, I talked to a local guy — code name Fights With Sharks — nursing a beer at Sparky’s who was still shook after witnessing the before, during, and aftermath of the accident. He witnessed the speeding BMW, and when they stopped at the red light at Dukes, he attempted to tell the driver to cool it. The driver zoomed off and 15 seconds later, the citizen came across carnage.

This guy drove right into the middle of it, pulled the kid from the car and stayed there for three hours. The next day he still had a grim look of horror. This is what the deputies, firefighters, EMTs, and ambulance drivers have to deal with “every f@#$ day!!!”

Around Malibu, from Sparky’s to the Chevron Station to Legacy Park to the newsstand, I got the inside scoop on the who, what, when, where, how much, and how fast. Someone said Bohm had that car only two days before the crash, and other rumors pegged his speed at anywhere from 80 to 140 mph. Some say he was racing, texting, reaching for something. The investigation will reveal all that soon.

I’m sworn to secrecy, but the public details are available elsewhere — from this Malibu Times to People magazine to the Guardian UK. The question some ask: “Would a speed camera at ‘Dead Man’s Curve’ have prevented that tragedy?”

If there were a warning sign at the traffic light at Duke’s — and another at Carbon Canyon Road on the other side of Dead Man’s Curve — letting everyone know they were entering a highway danger zone monitored by the unblinking eye of speed cameras that would hand out hundreds of dollars in fines: Would that have slowed the guy down? Would it have slowed down anyone?

At Wednesday afternoon’s press conference, the day after the crash, Seetoo mentioned speed cameras.

“Right now we’re looking at speed cameras, we have to look at law enforcement differently, we’ve got to change with the times where technology is an option and these speed cameras will be in six cities starting in 2024,” Seetoo said. “We’ve

got to keep our eyes on this technology because we believe that it will save lives, we’ve got to do something about it. PCH is deadly. We’ve lost way too many people on PCH. It’s a highway that runs through a city and a college town.”

One of the people I called was retired firefighter/paramedic Gene Rink, who was assigned to LA County Fire Station 88 as a paramedic/engineer (driver). The paramedic’s jurisdiction covers PCH from Coastline Drive to Corral Canyon which included most of Malibu and Topanga Canyon. Rink also dealt with the carnage “every f##$% day!!” and was not at all hesitant to speak on the record about the dire need to improve traffic safety on PCH “I talked to Pamela Ulich about this years ago,” Rink said. “At the time I said they should reduce the speed limit through Malibu to 35 miles per hour. You’ve got paparazzi running across PCH chasing celebrities, valets running and customers wobbling out of Moonshadows, surfers crossing PCH at Surfrider — all of it insanely dangerous. Speed cameras will slow people down if they think it’s going to effect their pocketbook. I’m all for it.”

Speed cameras are coming to California, and that’s good, but they won’t be protecting Malibu for a while — if ever — unless the citizens and city fathers stop talking about the weather and do something about it.

High-speed driving is a clear and present danger along the 21-mile Pacific Coast Autobahn, and if speed cameras are the answer, can Malibu wait until 2032?

As a citizen and a sheriff ’s captain, Seetoo believes AB645 is encouraging and a start, but it does not apply to the community and highway that needs it most.

“California needs a bill — a new bill that applies to state highways,” she said. “We can’t piggyback the current bill because it excludes state highways. We can use some of the same verbiage but must create a bill.”

Seetoo believes the tragedy of Niamh Rolston, Peyton Stewart, Asha Weir and Deslyn Williams — and Fraser Bohm, whose life, future, and conscience have most likely been permanently damaged — will be a catalyst and a turning point in the effort to Make PCH Safe Again.

“We as a community must work together and say enough is enough,” Seetoo said in an email on Sunday, Oct. 22, as she was preparing for an emotional memorial at Pepperdine University. “We must not let the tragic deaths of these four young women, who had so much to live for, be in vain. We must stop the blame game, [stop allowing] promises that go unfilled, and we must demand real change.”

Seetoo is not alone in this.

“On Thursday morning, Supervisor Lindsey Horvath, Sheriff Robert Luna, Mayor Steve Uhring, and nearly all the Malibu Council members personally called and pledged their support to make PCH safe,” Seetoo said. “We owe it to these four young women, their families, and all those who’ve lost loved ones on PCH. I promise the community, I will not stop until there is real change that will save lives.”

Seetoo said her focus will be on the Three E’s, which she identifies as “Education, Enforcement, and Engineering.”

“But, I need the help of the community and elected officials,” she said. “I’m now working with a nonprofit called ‘Streets Are For Everyone.’ The founder of this nonprofit, Damian Kevitt, was instrumental in getting the speed camera bill — AB645 — passed. I’m also working with grassroot community members including Kathy Eldon, Chris Wizner, Chris Frost, Michel Shane, Keegan Gibbs, and Dermot Stoker.”

Stoker said it best: “There is no I in can’t!”

“We know enforcement works. We witnessed this in 2019 when Supervisor Sheila Khuel gave Malibu Sheriff ’s Station nearly a half a million dollars to provide enforcement on PCH in Malibu,” Stoker said. “I worked with Andy Cohen and Chris Frost to split the 21 miles of PCH in four sections. Patrol deputies did high-visibility patrol and enforcement. This was the first summer I know of where there weren’t any fatalities, and collisions were reduced.

Enforcement works, but unfortunately there is a nationwide lack of peace officers. So now we must use technology to fill that gap, and speed cameras can fill that gap.”

These are the days of miracles and wonders, but you have to wonder how long it will take to protect Malibu citizens and visitors with the unblinking eye of speed cameras.

STUDENTS KILLED PCH CONTINUED FROM A1

cheer/gymastics coach.

Deslyn Williams’s, 21, employer paid tribute to her in a heartbreaking Facebook post saying, “When you get the saddest news — 21 miles of devastation — a road full of heart break.”

The university held a service for the students on Monday afternoon.

“It is with profound sorrow that we bring this message to the Pepperdine community about the tragic passing of four beloved members of our student community. As you know, we sought official confirmation and the opportunity to speak with the families before releasing the students’ names,” the press release said. “The pain we collectively bear may be overwhelming, especially to those who best knew and loved these students. The University stands ready to provide spiritual and emotional support to all members of our Pepperdine family.”

The four students were honored with academic achievements with posthumous degrees alongside their graduating class of 2024.

“We deeply grieve the unfulfilled hopes and aspirations of these bright young women,” the university said.

On Friday afternoon, Malibu residents protested, demanding safety improvements along the Pacific Coast Highway.

Ted Vaill, a 50-year Malibu resident, organized the last-minute protest and had the support from Gina Muscatel from the Malibu Democratic Club and former Public Works Commissioner Lance Simmens. Despite the small turnout, the discussion continued during the City Council meeting on Monday night.

“I’ve had several times where I’ve almost been killed here. This is the last straw; you can’t have killings like this go on in our city, and something has to be done,” he said. “The City of Malibu has been doing the best that they can; it’s got to be Caltrans, the county and maybe even CHP patrolling the highway. There’s got to be more work done to protect these 21 miles of land.

“It touched me completely where four innocent students— their lives are just beginning and it was taken away from them by some stupid kid who was driving his BMW at too fast a speed. Sorry about that, kid, but “you live with your mistakes” and he’s going to live with his mistakes for the rest of his life.”

Vaill also spoke at the City Council meeting on Monday night.

“The problem, as I see it, and I think as the City of Malibu sees it, is that they have spent almost $40 million to solve the problem, plus $15 million per year for the Sheriff, and the problem must be solved by Caltrans, the county, and possibly bringing in CHP to help stop the speeding, as well as coordinating the traffic lights and speed photos to inhibit speeders,” Vaill said.

Many family, friends, and those who knew the students shared photos of them on social media and reached out to The Malibu Times to share their condolences with the families impacted by this tragedy.

Founder and CEO at Vivid Candi Creative, Chris Wizner personally knew Weir as an avid volunteer and even well enough to ask her to help babysit his newborn.

Wizner submitted a photo of Weir at the Chili Cook-Off earlier this year and never realized that was going to be the last image he took of her.

“There was no kinder soul than that of Asha Weir. I worked with her at the Malibu Pacific Palisades Chamber of Commerce and then again at my marketing agency Vivid Candi,” Wizner said. “I’m sad to say I was her last path in her career and she has so much more to offer. She was unique. When I had my 40th birthday earlier this year, she took the time to show up with a gift in hand to deliver to me and wished me a great birthday. When the chamber hosted an art event on the Pepperdine lawn, she was there full of smiles and support.

“Just six days before she passed, my wife and I talked to her about babysitting our 3-month-old

We need each other more than ever.”

Sugimoto submitted a photo of the candlelight vigil and prayer service that was held on Thursday, Oct. 19, at the Pepperdine Amphitheater, where over 1,100 people gathered together.

“As a community, may we come together in love and understanding, supporting one another through this difficult journey. Your willingness to be here, to stand together, and to be a part of this community during these trying times,” Sugimoto said. “Let us continue to lean on one another, share our stories, and find solace in our shared strength. Together, we will find a way to heal, because we are stronger when we face life’s challenges as a united family. Thank you for being a part of this beautiful and resilient Pepperdine community.”

LA County Supervisor Lindsey Horvath provided a statement and also attended the City Council meeting on Monday night.

“I am devastated for the families of the four young female students killed Tuesday night in Malibu, and for the entire Pepperdine University community,” she said. “Yesterday, I spoke with the leadership at the University to offer my condolences and support for all who need it at this sad time. I also spoke with Malibu Mayor Steve Uhring and LASD Capt. Jenn Seetoo, and we are unified in our call for action. At their request, I have asked Gov. Newsom to include Malibu in the speed camera pilot program being explored by the state and will work with our legislators to ensure necessary steps are taken to improve safety on our state highways in the area, including PCH.” The City of Malibu also released a statement regarding the loss of the four Pepperdine students: “The City of Malibu is committed to doing everything possible to improve safety on our 21 miles of PCH, which has long been a top priority for the community. The City was shocked and saddened by the loss of the four Pepperdine University students on Oct. 17. Our hearts are with all of those who have been impacted by this tragedy. While the City does not control PCH, since its incorporation, Malibu has worked closely with Caltrans, the LA County Sheriff ’s Department and our other partner agencies to find ways to make PCH safer for residents, motorists, pedestrians and cyclists. We will continue to push for resources to achieve a higher level of safety for our community.”

The city shared a list of projects and programs on steps it has taken to enhance safety on PCH. To view the list of projects, visit malibucity. org.

As for the driver, Bohm is facing charges of manslaughter in the death of the four Pepperdine students. According to the LASD, Bohm only suffered minor scratches and bruises and has since been released on bail. A hearing date has yet to be released.

The Malibu Times has reached out to the sheriff ’s department to see if any other individuals were involved in the crash but has not received a response by the time we went to print on Tuesday. An update will be provided online at malibutimes.com.

‘Quintessential Malibu’: Pie Festival delights A host of community figures evaluated each pie’s crust, filling, flavor, and overall presentation

By BARBARA BURKE Special to The Malibu Times

M

alibu’s 32nd Annual Pie Festival delighted attendees as they gathered on Oct. 21 at Malibu United Methodist Church. Smiling guests mixed and mingled, enjoying the convivial camaraderie on a gorgeous autumn day. ​“ This event is quintessential Malibu.

It’s hometown stuff !” said Heidi Bernard, gazing around appreciatively as the sizeable crowd perused items on show at a silent auction, and visited booths sporting merchandise celebrating the festival and craft tables. They also enjoyed Mexican food cooked by Rosa and Juan Gurrola and their son, Juan Jr., and brats and hotdogs cooked by parishioner Micah Johnson, who manned the grill. Attendees also enjoyed bands and exhibition events on the stage, and of course, pies, pies, pies! ​“All the proceeds for the festival will help the church’s outreach programs as well as its twice-weekly community dinners for the homeless,” Church Pastor Rev. Erin Stenberg said. ​Musical guests included the Malibu High School and Malibu Middle School combined choir; Devon Meyers, who performed a series of songs from his “Dreamy, Celebratory Americana”; and Ukamusic featuring Naomi Louise Warner and Gabe Diebel on acoustic guitar and vocals. ​“Our group, Uka Music, @zumasongcatchers, celebrates Malibu as a Phoenix emerging from the flame,” said Warner, who founded the band. “We started the

band after the Woolsey Fire and our mission is to help people heal themselves through interacting with the Earth, music, other treatment modalities, and of course, through eating pies today!”

U ​ .S. 99 Blues & Rock Band performed old favorites, delighting onlookers who

sang along, harkening back to simpler times. ​“ This is awesome for the community to gather,” exclaimed Aron Marderosian, adding, “My most important job today was to get my friend Kim Retts here so she could help judge the category of pies

baked by kids from 9 to 14!”

Visitors wandered in, joining in the fun and finding Malibuites very welcoming.

“We just stumbled upon the pie festival,” said Pam Coats of Sherman Oaks, who visits Malibu’s beaches regularly.

“Everyone’s super nice here!”

ver a dozen local service providers and organizations attended the Senior Resource Fair on Thursday, Oct. 19, and provided information on medical doctors, health and wellness businesses, and senior care providers. The last resource fair was before the pandemic.

Seniors were also able to participate in a raffle with gifts such as headphones and safety gear provided by each vendor.

Information such as where to get resources and flyers with upcoming events was provided by each vendor. It was also a day for seniors to reconnect with others in the community.

Organizations such as theReplace with: Boys & Girls Club of Malibu were also at the event. BGCM Director of Community Affairs and Outreach Siugen Constanza thanked the city for holding a successful and informative event.

“The fair was well attended; we had a lot of seniors asking questions, and they were so excited and grateful,” Constanza said. “One of the seniors told me, ‘You know, we’re so alone, we don’t socialize, but this is a way for us to socialize,’ but also to find out resources. Kudos to the city and kudos to Amanda [Rigali] because they put on a really good fair

and it was well attended.”

Constanza said the seniors did the Kindness Pledge and were able to take a kindness card created by the BGCM students.

“They did the kindness pledge and they were lovely to take the kindness cards the teens did, some seniors said, ‘Can I take two?,’ so they really enjoyed that,” Constanza said. “They didn’t know that we had a wellness center at

the Boys and Girls Club, that we provide social services and mental health for them and they were really glad that we were here and I think all the vendors were really excited because it was a really good turnout and I think Amanda and the city did a really good job.”

BGCM raffled off a 2023 Malibu Chili Cook-Off sweater and hat at the event.

Myths, legends, rumors, & lies MALIBU SEEN

ccording to Wikipedia: “Herbert Eugene Caen (April 3, 1916-February 1, 1997) was a San Francisco humorist and journalist whose daily column of local goings-on and insider gossip, social and political happenings, and offbeat puns and anecdotes — “A continuous love letter to San Francisco” — appeared in the San Francisco Chronicle for almost sixty years (excepting a relatively brief defection to The San Francisco Examiner) and made him a household name throughout the San Francisco Bay Area. A special Pulitzer Prize called him the “voice and conscience” of San Francisco.

In that spirit, the Malibu Times is pleased to Raise Caen in this tribute.

It’s fall, when a Malibu citizen’s fancy turns to thoughts of … the Dodgers in the playoffs! Lobster season! Flawless Indian Summer weather. Warm summer nights.

Late season southern hemis. Halloween! …. Does Malibu have the most consistently perfect weather on the planet? These fall days are an argument toward that ... Some say southern Sicily is as consistently perfect as the Malibu — the California Riviera — but southern Sicily is in Sicily, and if you think the Malibu City Council and planning department are hard to deal with ...

Business is bubbling at Irv’s Burgers, Prince Street Pizza, and Sparky’s — the Biggest Little Sports Bar in Malibu ... Sparky’s Sports Bar opened just in time for this time of year where MLB playoffs overlap the NFL regular season, which overlaps the NBA regular season, which overlaps the NHL regular season. All are in play, so to speak.

when Skylar Peak-lookalike Clayton Kershaw got bombed and pulled in the first inning of Game 1 against the Diamondbacks. And there was no audible rejoicing when Lance Lynn got spanked for four home runs (!!) in one inning in Game 3. Go Doyers! Next year!! … Similar pouting when The USC football Trojans got trounced

Ralphs has recovered from that unfortunate smash-and-grab robbery, further evidence that the plagues of the outside world are leaking into Malibu. When asked if he was tempted to go all Dick But-

the guy is a true, troubled genius, and not a spoiled rich kid living off apartheid emerald money …

“Musk” is a must-read along with “The King and Queen of Malibu,” which all Malibu residents should read. And Malibu resident Steve Wright’s “Aggressive Humanity.”

Required reading … We know what you’re wondering: “When is Zinque gonna open?!?!?!?! Is it a bistro or a brasserie? I want my French Onion Soup!!!!

finding they are good. Oscar deals will be hatched around that fire pit and the fireplace … Caveat proprietor: Those tiles out front are slippery and could get litigious when the rains return …. On Saturday the 14th, the Point Dume Club had its regular garage sale, which is always fun but more fun on a perfect Indian summer day. According to Point Dume Club resident Eric Ruhle, “It was epic. I saw roughly 60 people come through my space alone — both neighbors and visitors from outside the park. I sold four boards, some aloha shirts and some small art pieces. Weather was perfect” ... Former Paradise Cove resident Athena Nova Davis Shlien re-donned her mantle

of Queen of the Rock when she was in town for a couple of fine fall days conducting real estate bidness.

“I caught bombs!” Athena kvelled, and we believe her. Here today, gone to Las Vegas where she is embroiled in the land boom/bomb that is engulfing Win City. “I like it here,” Athena enthused. “I used to think Las Vegas was the kitty litter of the world, but this place has it going on!” If you’re thinking about buying in Las Vegas and/or Malibu, check out www.realestatesurfer.com ... And two more Paradise Cove stalwarts have hitched up the Conestoga and joined the mass exodus out of California. Sam George and Kamme Feldman are now living up there in the land of ice and snow, but fear not for their mental health, the San Juan Islands are a great place for a true water dog: “We’re really going to miss Malibu life, but we’ll be living on a bluff overlooking the water on a different sort of paradise cove … and we can always take a ferry across to the U.S. 101 and head south, when the need for a Lily’s burrito gets too strong.”

And also a fond farewell to Victoria M and Paula H, who ended — were forced out of by Simon Legree Insurance — a five-year residency on Malibu Road. They are in Calabasas and miss that unique Malibu alchemy of crashing surf, hooting owls and racing 12-cylinder supercars ...

PERSPECTIVE

By Burt Ross, Contributed Column

I

read an alarming article in the New York Times with the following headline catching my attention: “How AI Can Destroy Humanity.”

A lover of humanity myself, I skimmed the article (actually, I skipped over the article) because its premise was absurd. No matter how hard I tried to figure it out, I could not understand how a sauce could destroy everything we cherish.

I am not getting paid for what might appear to some of you as an infomercial, but I can say that I have used A1 for much of my adult life, and it has not destroyed humanity, let alone anything I like. On the contrary, it has given my steaks an added flavor, so much more tasteful than ketchup, for instance.

I have always respected the New York Times as a quality newspaper, but I am seriously thinking about canceling my subscription. When such a reputable newspaper defames an outstanding product which has been fully vetted by the FDA, I think they are clearly engaging in what we commonly refer to as “fake news.”

PostScript: I showed this column to a friend of mine who strongly believes the New York Times article is referring to AI, something called “artificial intelligence,” and not to A1, the steak sauce. As Emily Litella used to say on Saturday Night Live, “Never mind.”

Waves water polo’s Schroeder is at 500 victories and counting Former Olympian has won a national title and five WCC Coach Of The Year awards at Pepperdine

P

By MCKENZIE JACKSON Special to The Malibu Times

epperdine Waves men’s water polo head coach Terry Schroeder gained his 500th career win as the Waves went undefeated in the two-day Julian Fraser Memorial Tournament in San Jose.

Schroeder, in his 31st season coaching the Waves, reached the milestone when Pepperdine defeated Bucknell 17-8 on Oct. 21, the first day of the tournament. He ended the event with a 502-343 coaching record.

In a statement, Merrill Moses, the Waves’ associate head coach and a past Waves standout, said Schroeder, also a former player, has had an amazing water polo career.

“This is an amazing accomplishment to lead a team to 500 wins,” Moses said of Schroeder. “His knowledge of the game and coaching style has impacted so many Pepperdine athletes to succeed in the water and outside in life.”

Moses, coached by Schroeder as a Wave and Olympic player, said he would not have been as successful in his career without Schroeder.

“I have learned so much from him as a player and now get the privilege to be coaching beside him and have gained a tremendous amount of knowledge from him as a coach.”

Schroeder is in his second stint as Pepperdine’s head coach. Beginning in 1986, he coached the Waves for 20 seasons and composed a record of 340-220. Schroeder led Pepperdine to the national

championship in 1997.

He stepped away from the post in 2005 to join the U.S. National Team’s coaching staff. Schroeder initially returned to the Waves sideline as a volunteer assistant in the summer of 2012. He became the head coach again at the beginning of the next year.

Heading into Pepperdine’s game against California Baptist in Riverside on Saturday, Schroeder has a 162-123 record since the 2013 season.

Schroeder is the seventh coach in men’s college water polo history to have at least 500 victories under his belt. The others include Dante Dettamanti, Denny Harper, Jovan Vavic, Mike Schofield, Pete Cutino, and Ted Newland.

Schroeder was named the NCAA National Coach of the Year the season Pepperdine won the national title and has garnered conference coach of the year recognition five times. Schroeder coached the U.S. to the silver medal at the 2008 Olympics and guided the squad at the Olympics four years later. He is also an inductee in the CoSIDA Academic Hall of Fame, the International Swimming Hall of Fame, the U.S. Water Polo Hall of Fame, and the Pepperdine Athletics Hall of Fame.

Schroeder was also a standout water polo player at Pepperdine. He was on Team USA’s roster for 16 years and was a team captain from 1983-92. He dived in the pool for four Olympic games including

the 1984 and 1988 Games where the U.S. won silver medals.

The Waves opened the Julian Fraser Memorial Tournament with a 7-6 downing of Princeton.

Sophomore Adam Csapo rang up 4 goals and 2 assists in the match, while driver Ryan Brosnan, a graduate student, tossed in 2 scores, and senior center defender Nico Tierney scored a goal.

Freshman center Chase Wilson led Pepperdine with 4 goals in the triumph over Bucknell. Csapo, sophomore attacker Conor Brough, freshman utility Jon Carcarey, senior attacker Christian Hosea, and junior center Matty Walsh each had two goals.

Brosnan, utility Kaden Kaneko, a graduate student and Tierney each throw in a score.

Pepperdine began the second day of the tournament with a 15-14 triumph over Fordham. Csapo tossed in four goals to lead the Waves in scoring.

Seven of Csapo’s teammates scored in the contest, including Tierney with three, Brosnan and Hosea with two each, and Carcarey, sophomore attacker Sandor Gal, senior center Travis Reynolds, and Wilson with one apiece.

The Waves’ last match was a 23-5 thumping of Long Island University. Attacker Curtis Jarvis, a graduate student, scored six goals and Brough tallied four. Clay Kaneko, Kaden’s brother, scored three goals as did Wilson. Seven Waves scored one goal each including senior attacker Andrew Outcalt, junior attacker Dane Howell, sophomore utility Milo Joseph, Kaden Kaneko, Csapo, Hosea, and Reynolds.

Pepperdine began the week with a 19-4 record.

The squad hosts Air Force on Sunday at noon, two days after playing California Baptist. The Waves go to the Bay Area to play San Jose State on Nov. 4 and Santa Clara the next day.

Waves volleyball’s Chillingworth wins WCC weekly honor for third time Santa Ana product posted 18 kills with only one error on 33 swings for a career high .515 success rate

By MCKENZIE JACKSON Special to The Malibu Times

P

epperdine Waves women’s volleyball player Grace Chillingworth isn’t someone that gets too emotional on the volleyball court.

“I go into every game with an open mindset,” she said.

“I play for my teammates and look to be there for them.

Honestly, I go into every game with a calm mindset. I’m not much of a fiery, outgoing player.”

So, Chillingworth, 20, said her demeanor during the Waves’ five-set victory over rival Loyola Marymount on Oct. 19 was a bit out of the norm.

“I came out of my shell a bit,” she recalled. “I was cheering and hyping up my teammates a lot. That was fun to experience.”

The 6-foot-3 outside hitter’s performance on offense was pretty much normal though — stellar as normal. The 2022 All-West Coast Conference first-teamer rang up 18 kills, three blocks, and an ace in the Waves’ 3-2 triumph.

The performance came three days after Chillingworth was named the WCC Offensive Player of the Week for the third time in her college career.

Chillingworth said gaining the conference recognition was an honor.

“It feels awesome,” she said. “It obviously wouldn’t be possible without all of my teammates. It feels great.”

She garnered the weekly award after leading Pepperdine to sweep over Santa Clara on Oct. 12.

Chillingworth posted 18 kills with only one error on 33 swings for a career-high .515 success rate. She also had eight digs and one block on defense and had 12 successful receptions without an error.

Chillingworth doesn’t believe it was her best performance of the season but was a fun contest to be part of.

“I try to do my best every game,” she said.

Two days after Pepperdine beat Loyola Marymount, Chillingworth recorded 18 kills and a block in the team’s 3-0 win over San Diego. Heading into Pepperdine’s home game against Saint Mary’s on Thursday, she had reached double-digit kills in six straight contests.

Senior setter Birdie Hendrickson had 10 kills, seven digs, two blocks, and an ace in the win over San Diego, and setter Isabel Zelaya, a graduate student, had 30 assists and 11 digs. Zelaya has had five double-doubles this season.

“Izzy always puts me in good situations,” Chillingworth said of Zelaya’s ability to pass the ball.

Chillingworth won WCC Offensive Player of the Week twice in 2022.

Chillingworth, a player who aims to be consistently effective during matches and always keep the volleyball in play, began playing volleyball at age 8. She loves the camaraderie the sport requires to be successful.

The Tustin native attended volleyball clinics and hit the volleyball back and forth with her dad in their front yard. One of Chillingworth’s aunts played on the USA women’s national team and her cousin played men’s volleyball at Pepperdine.

Chillingworth was a star volleyball player at Foothill High School in Santa Ana. She was an All-Crestview League first-teamer and Under Armour AVCA All-Region player her junior year. Chillingworth tallied 589 kills, 417 digs, 105 aces and 80 blocks in high school.

tournament crowns during her years in the club volleyball program.

Chillingworth was second on the team in kills her first year at Pepperdine and was named to the WCC All-Freshman team. Last year, she led the Waves in kills and service aces.

Pepperdine entered the week on a 12-game winning streak and with an overall record of 13-6. The squad is 9-0 in the WCC. The team has eight games left on their schedule after the Saint Mary’s matchup. Seven of the contests are against WCC foes.

This season, Chillingworth said, has been exciting. The Waves feel like a special group, she remarked.

“I feel like we are evenly spread in terms of skill,” Chillingworth noted. “We don’t have one star player. Our skills are all spread out — the pins, the middles, the setter, the libero, everything. We have a very deep team. We can rely on anyone to go in.”

Pepperdine was defeated by Stanford in the first round of the NCAA Championships last season. Chillingworth said the Waves want to win the WCC crown and play in the NCAA tournament again.

“We want to see how far we can make it,” she said.

“Right now, we are focused on the WCC, taking it one game at a time, and overcoming the small obstacles that are in the way.”

“I think it’s amazing that all the people come together here, whether they worship at this church or not,” Londyn Johnson, a Pepperdine Ambassador volunteer said. “It is really touching to see many people from the community together, especially after the tragic accident that killed four Pepperdine students and we Ambassadors coming from a campus that

has been solemn for all students, even if they didn’t know the victims.”

Johnson was finding healing salve in the attendees’ sheer joy as they indulged in pie.

Grinning ear to ear, MHS sophomore Nick Ortiz critiqued the pie he had carefully selected.

“It’s a delicious cream pie that has a great crust and it reminds me of a s’more,” Ortiz said admiringly. “It has an awesome graham cracker crust, chocolate, marshmallow, and walnuts.

“There were so many pies! Apple pies, other fruit pies, chocolate pies, seasonal pies, meringue pies, savory pies, and cream pies, as well as special children’s categories for pies submitted by kids 8 and younger and contestants ranging

A host of elected officials, community volunteers, board members who volunteer with various community organizations, and physicians and veterinarians all evaluated each pie’s crust, filling, flavor, and overall presentation.

Cheryl McDonald’s class of 4 to 5-yearolds won the pumpkin cookie drop pie for the littles, while Molly Regan took both first and third places for competitors vying in the ages 9 to 14 category. Bennett Shurgot and Lucas Doyle proved to be a dream team, claiming second place for their Campfire Pie. It’s not a pie festival without a pie-eating contest and competitors obliged, delighting onlookers who cheered for their favorite contest. In the end, Ortiz won handily.

Attendees slowly filed out of the event, rubbing their bellies and looking forward to a lazy afternoon nap during which they no doubt began one of many dreams they’ll have as they await next year’s pie festival.

NOTICE OF TRUSTEE’S SALE TS No. CA-23-961015BF Order No.: 8784963 YOU ARE IN DEFAULT UNDER A DEED OF TRUST DATED 10/24/2006. UNLESS YOU TAKE ACTION TO PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY, IT MAY BE SOLD AT A PUBLIC SALE. IF YOU NEED AN EXPLANATION OF THE NATURE OF THE PROCEEDING AGAINST YOU, YOU SHOULD CONTACT A LAWYER. A public auction sale to the highest bidder for cash, cashier’s check drawn on a state or national bank, check drawn by state or federal credit union, or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, or savings association, or savings bank specified in Section 5102 to the Financial Code and authorized to do business in this state, will be held by duly appointed trustee. The sale will be made, but without covenant or warranty, expressed or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the note(s) secured by the Deed of Trust, with interest and late charges thereon, as provided in the note(s), advances, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, interest thereon, fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee for the total amount (at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale) reasonably estimated to be set forth below. The amount may be greater on the day of sale. BENEFICIARY MAY ELECT TO BID LESS THAN THE TOTAL AMOUNT DUE. Trustor(s): JAMES BRENT ALBRIGHT, A SINGLE MAN, Recorded: 11/3/2006 as Instrument No. 06 2445840 of Official Records in the office of the Recorder of LOS ANGELES County, California; Date of Sale: 11/2/2023 at 10:00 AM Place of Sale: Behind the fountain located in Civic Center Plaza, located at 400 Civic Center Plaza, Pomona CA 91766 Amount of unpaid balance and other charges: $360,646.37 The purported property address is: 28902 CRAGS DR, AGOURA HILLS, CA 91301-2906 Assessor’s Parcel No.: 4462018-041 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 916-939-0772 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this internet website http://www.qualityloan.com, using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-23-961015-BF. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the internet website. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.

NOTICE TO TENANT: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call 916-939-0772, or visit this internet website http://

Malibu’s Award-Winning Community Paper Since 1946

www.qualityloan.com, using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-23-961015-BF 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.

NOTICE TO PROSPECTIVE OWNER-OCCUPANT: Any prospective owner-occupant as defined in Section 2924m of the California Civil Code who is the last and highest bidder at the trustee’s sale shall provide the required affidavit or declaration of eligibility to the auctioneer at the trustee’s sale or shall have it delivered to QUALITY LOAN SERVICE CORPORATION by 5 p.m. on the next business day following the trustee’s sale at the address set forth in the below signature block.

The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the property address or other common designation, if any, shown herein. If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale.

If the sale is set aside for any reason, including if the Trustee is unable to convey title, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the monies paid to the Trustee. This shall be the Purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedy. The purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Trustor, the Trustee, the Beneficiary, the Beneficiary’s Agent, or the Beneficiary’s Attorney. If you have previously been discharged through bankruptcy, you may have been released of personal liability for this loan in which case this letter is intended to exercise the note holders right’s against the real property only.

NOTICE OF PETITION TO ADMINISTER ESTATE OF: PATRICIA AHMANSON-MCCORD AKA PATRICIA AHMANSON MCCORD AKA PATRICA A. MCCORD CASE NO. 23STPB11190 To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the WILL or estate, or both of PATRICIA AHMANSON-MCCORD AKA PATRICIA AHMANSON MCCORD AKA PATRICA A. MCCORD. A PETITION FOR PROBATE has been filed by WHITTIER TRUST COMPANY in the Superior Court of California, County of LOS ANGELES. THE PETITION FOR PROBATE requests that WHITTIER TRUST COMPANY be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent.

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

THE PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.)

The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority.

A HEARING on the petition will be held in this court as follows: 11/13/23 at 8:30AM in Dept. 2D located at 111 N. HILL ST., LOS ANGELES, CA 90012 IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney.

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

Sharks football runs and passes for blowout win over Entrepreneur on Senior Night

Malibu has 6-2 record heading into its regular season finale against Villanova Prep in Ojai on Friday

By McKENZIE JACKSON Special to The Malibu Times

T

he Malibu High Sharks football team beat the Entrepreneur Panthers 53-12 on Oct. 20, which was their Senior Night.

Senior wide receiver Travis Kies, who scored three touchdowns in the win, said the Sharks’ 12th-graders and underclassmen were motivated to win the contest, their last home game of the regular season.

“It felt really good because we have worked hard all season,” said Kies. “We all came ready to play. We wanted to play our best on Senior Night. It all came together.”

Malibu head coach Mike Halualani said his message for the team before the contest was the same as previous matchups.

“I just told them to play smart, play hard, concentrate, and execute,” he said.

“They did every single one of those things.

It was a good team victory.”

Along with Kies, the Sharks’ other seniors include quarterback Nico Miller, linebacker and running back Graydon Phelps, and linemen Harper Rae, Tyler Celikel, Hiram Florendo, Spencer BriggsArce, and Jairo Izquierdo.

Kies, a football player for the first time this season, said he and his classmates were excited for the game.

“We were hyping each other up all week in practice,” he recalled.

The Sharks scored seven touchdowns in the game, and those scores happened in a variety of ways. One of Kies’ touchdowns was the result of a trick play in the first quarter. Miller pitched the ball to junior running back Hank Norby, but instead of dashing toward the end zone, Norby stayed in the backfield and passed the ball to Kies for the score.

Defeating the Panthers, Halualani said, was a good win, but not Malibu’s best performance of the season.

“I don’t think we have played our best yet this season,” he said. “We still have more room to grow.”

nova Prep in Ojai on Friday.

The week before downing Entrepreneur, Laguna Blanca defeated Malibu 5026. The loss stopped a Malibu winning streak at four games.

The Sharks’ blowout of Entrepreneur was their second largest margin of victory

this season. The team downed Sherman Oaks CES 56-0 last month. In fact, all of the Sharks’ wins have been over double digits.

Led by Miller, who has around 30 touchdown passes this season, Malibu’s offense is normally high-scoring.

Halualani credited the Sharks’ offensive line.

“We never go into a game thinking we are going to score a lot of points,” he said. “Most of the time, we go into a game thinking we are going to grind it out, but we’ve just had really good play

from our offensive players.”

A win over Villanova Prep could qualify Malibu for the CIF playoffs. Kies said the Sharks want to compete in the postseason.

“We are a really hardworking team,” he said. “We have really good chemistry.”

If you’re looking for the goofiest duo, look no further.

Meet Elsa A5575865 and Parker A5575864 This one year old pair is looking for their forever home, together.

They’ve come a LONG way from day one with us but still have a ways to go. The pair are *learning* to walk on leash, it’s quite comical to watch but exhausting to do - so they’ll need a patient family to continue the work we’ve started. They can be shy at first but once they’re comfortable, they are wild puppies. These two are constantly making us laugh and we’d love someone to take them home who is looking for endless giggles.

Are you their forever?
