As we steady ourselves for the beginning of a new year that promises to test our patience further with a triple dose of pandemic (COVID/Flu/ RSV, which is short for respiratory syncytial virus) and the potential return of masking and/or other measures, let us not forget to look at life and its challenges from the standpoint of the beautiful surroundings in which we live. Many individuals have approached me and complimented the thought-provoking articles published on a biweekly basis in The Malibu Times under the sideby-side column “From the Left/ From the Right.” As we enter a new year in what can only be described as trying times, let us join together in wishing everyone a very Happy Holiday season and a resurgent new year.
I have spent my entire professional career — four decades — in public service. I have worked for two presidential administrations, two U.S. Senators, the U.S. Senate Budget Committee, the U.S. Conference of Mayors, two prominent governors, have written two books on public policy, authored over 800 op-ed pieces for prominent newspapers, including over 300 for Huffington Post, delivered over 100 presentations on climate change as one of the first of Al Gore’s climate messengers, appeared on numerous television talk shows, including “Hardball with Chris Matthews,” taught American government at Temple University and public policy at Santa Monica College.
Beloved
The
I present “From the Left” and my writing partner Don Schmitz presents “From the Right.” We rarely agree beyond the timely topics we choose, but since hope springs eternal and since comity is in short supply these days, we decided several years ago to at least give it a try. We both thought it would be a nice touch in a divided world to present our respective bona fides for tackling such a difficult task in this year’s closing article and hope you find our distinctly different backgrounds interesting.
We approach each topic with respect for and tolerance of opposing viewpoints, and sometimes we actually come very close to a midpoint that passes for compromise. The reader should know that we come together on the topic and then do not see what the other has written until after it is printed. Thus, we strongly adhere to the principle that no personal attacks are allowed to inject substantive argumentation with toxic recrimination. This, hopefully, allows for civil discourse that is grounded in logic and provokes thought.
Healthy debate may rarely change one’s opinion, but it does allow for a degree of respect for opposing viewpoints that challenge our inherent biases. This is a hallmark for democracy, it provokes different perspectives and encourages compromise. While the current political environment certainly offers a challenge, moderation usually prevails and continuity of governance provides a roadmap for progress. Indeed, our Constitution has always been viewed as a living document, one that incrementally bestows enhancement of benefits on a diverse society. That is the es-
I represented my undergraduate university as an intern in the Georgia State Legislature, was a teaching fellow at Temple University, where I received my Master’s in public administration, was selected as one of 50 individuals in Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government Program for Senior Managers in Government (1995), and was one of 55 individuals representing over 40 countries at Harvard’s Environment Economics and Policy Analysis Workshop (1997). I was also one of seven individuals chosen to serve as a participant observer at the U.S. Army War College (2007).
I have been very active in local politics, both in Santa Monica and Malibu. Currently, I am a Malibu Public Works commissioner, a member of the Community Emergency Response Team, VP of the Malibu Democratic Club, and a member of the Los Angeles County Democratic Party Central Committee. I have run for Malibu City Council on two occasions and spent a year as chairman of the Adamson House Foundation.
I have worked on the podium of the Democratic National Convention in 10 of the last 13 conventions.
I was married and am blessed with two children. My ex-wife passed away from complications with lupus and multiple sclerosis, and I raised my two sons as a single father.
I have read and studied history and public administration and attempted to exercise a degree of realism into problem solving that pushes the envelope without sacrificing the good in search of the perfect.
The divisive nature of the current political and ideological spectrum is threatening to take our society back in time rather than reaching for the stars that promise a better day for as many people as possible. The key to salvaging a society growing rather than deteriorating is to open as many lines of communication as possible. That is what our columns are intended to do. Thanks for listening and for the opportunity for us to help engage in thoughtful dialogue.
Iremember when Lance called me and said “Don, I’ve observed you in many debates, and you don’t burn people down; you disagree respectfully. Our country has lost the essential ability to politically debate topics and compromise, and we need to do something about it.”
So it began, a classic liberal, and a libertarian conservative, fostering discussion and civil discourse on the topics of the day. Based upon the letters, texts and phone calls, our approach is warmly received. Sure, there are some haters and angry insults, but they are the minority. Telling is that so many who contact me do so quietly and privately, because they are intimidated and afraid.
Since when did Americans tiptoe around worried about social, workplace, or even physical retribution? Since boycotts, lawsuits, public shunning, protests, vandalism, and even murder became prevalent tools of political extremists. This has happened periodically throughout American history, and it has always taken the courage of our people to stand up to the bullying and intimidation.
More insidious today is the level of intimidation and control, illustrated last week by the new master list of proposed speech guidelines at Stanford University, which would make any normal person as an American feel blacklisted. BTW, you can’t say “master list,”
Hope you all have a wonderful and safe New Years!
“normal,” “American,” or “blacklisted” as someone might be triggered (can’t say “trigger warning” either). America is becoming a nation of snowflakes and victims, so of course, a huge percentage of us are feeling oppressed and wounded. This mantra is constantly beat into the psyche of our people. Exacerbating this hypersensitivity is the inevitable backlash, whereupon mainstream folks either cower, or angry with the intimidation, lash out with truly insulting words or behavior. The cycle continues, feeding on itself, and its trajectory is downward.
Lance and I both remember fondly the historically intense debates between Democrats and Republicans over policies, but they were debates amongst colleagues, exemplified by Ronald Reagan and Tip O’Neil during the 1980s going out and having a beer together as friends after a month of hard-hitting debate over the budget. It was big news in the 1990s when political adviser Dick Morris revealed that President Bill Clinton screamed at him that presidential candidate Republican Bob Dole was “evil” because he disagreed on welfare spending. That wouldn’t be news today, as politicians on the left and right openly and regularly berate political opponents and call them amoral. In fact, many politicians are considered soft by their constituents and can’t win their primary unless they vigorously attack. They are giving us exactly what we are demanding in this new no-holdsbarred world. Hypersensitivity coupled with abrasively toxic rhetoric is an explosively unstable social and political climate, one which results in ruined personal relationships, divided communities, burning police stations, and courthouses, and a riot in our capital.
I can disagree on social and political issues and still respect someone and be good friends. The caveat to this, of course, is when
people or organizations try to take away my personal rights or harm this country I love. That is the difference between traditional liberal Democrats, who love and cherish this country and respect their fellow citizens, and the leftists who have seized so much power, hate this country, and will not hesitate to try and destroy those who disagree with their agenda. Living here in Southern California many, if not most of my friends are Democrats. They are moral, hardworking, intelligent, spiritual, caring people who deeply love America. In private they express to me their dismay over the radical leftists who assert we are an inherently evil country, but they are intimidated by them.
Similarly, but to a lesser degree, Republicans also struggle with the internal pressure to take a hard line, by those within their party who would lump all Democrats and liberals into that socialist hate-America crowd. Sadly, we are losing this fight for the middle. A USA TODAY poll in 2019 found 65 percent of Americans said it was “very important to reduce divisiveness,” whereupon a poll this year found that number had dropped to 48 percent.
I’m not wired to bow to pressure from anyone or organization and remain firm in my convictions about our exceptional country and democratic republic. My God-given rights are inalienable, and I will vigorously defend them for myself and posterity, but we must differentiate between the true enemies, foreign and domestic, and our fellow countrymen that simply have a different opinion on how we maintain and nurture this beautiful country. Let a little love back into your heart, recognize the good people all around you, and remember that the lunatic fringe seeks to divide us. Stand up, speak out, and resist them. Liberal Lance is my partner on making this stand, and I’m proud to call him my friend.

Malibu Bluffs Park Multipurpose Field closed for rest and renovations, Dec. 12 to Feb. 6
The Multipurpose Field at Malibu Bluffs Park will be closed for turf renovation and restoration in preparation for the spring season Monday, Dec. 12 through Monday, Feb. 6. The rest and renovation play an essential part in keeping the field safe and playable throughout the year. The park’s other facilities will remain open. For information on recreation programs and facilities, visit the webpage (malibucity.org/335/ Community-Services) or call (310) 317-1364.
Join the organic waste recycling workshop and get a free kitchen scraps caddy on Jan. 7
Community members can learn about the importance of, and how to successfully participate in, the city’s Organic Waste Recycling Program by joining the virtual workshop on Wednesday, Jan. 7 at 7 p.m. Additional workshops are scheduled for Jan. 18, Feb. 15, March 15 and April 19. The Organic Waste Recycling Program is an important way that Malibu can fulfill its commitment as a community to be part of the efforts to address climate change and protect the environment. The link for the event is posted on the website. Attendees will receive a free kitchen scraps collection caddy (limit one per household). The 1.9-gallon, dishwasher-safe caddies are easy to fill, carry, empty, and clean, offering a convenient way to collect food scraps to be recycled. For more information about the program and to register for a workshop, visit the Organic Recycling webpage (malibucity. org/Organics). For additional guidance on the organics recycling program, review the city’s free online Zero Waste Guide (malibucity.org/HomeZeroWasteGuide).
More Beacon Boxes installed to assist out of town firefighters
The city continues to install Beacon Boxes, which include maps and thumb drives with locations of fire hydrants, swimming
pools and other valuable local information, at strategic locations throughout the city in order to assist out-of-area firefighters responding in Malibu. This week the Fire Safety Liaisons and Public Works staff installed the second batch of 10 boxes at locations from Corral Canyon to Paradise Cove. After the 2018 Woolsey Fire, the city contracted with Flame Mapper to purchase 47 Beacon Boxes.
Community volunteers needed for the 2023 Greater Los Angeles Homeless Count
Community members can register now to volunteer for the Los Angeles Homeless Authority’s (LAHSA) 2023 Greater Los Angeles Homeless Count taking place in Malibu on Wednesday, Jan. 25, 2023. Every year, thousands of volunteers help conduct the Homeless Count, an annual census of people experiencing homelessness across Los Angeles County to inform homelessness policy decisions and better direct resources to be able to address the homelessness crisis. Learn more and sign up to volunteer on the LAHSA website (theycountwillyou.org). For further questions, contact Public Safety Liaison Luis Flores at (310) 456-2489, ext. 236, or lflores@malibucity.org.
Wildfire conditions update
Live Fuel Moisture (LFM) and Conditions: LFM is up to 74 percent as of Dec. 1, a significant improvement from 56 percent on Oct. 27.
LFM can be as high as 200 percent, while 60 percent and below is considered critical for hazardous fire conditions. As part of continuous wildfire preparedness, the city tracks LFM as well as relative humidity, temperature, and dead fuel moisture to determine fire conditions for Malibu. The LFM is the percentage of water content to dry matter in live vegetation. The Los Angeles County Fire Department Forestry Division conducts sampling of chamise (Adenostoma Fasciculatum), a primary chaparral plant species, approximately every two weeks and posts the results on their website (fire.lacounty.gov/ fire-weather-danger/).
Large wildfires can still occur with LFM levels of 60 percent to 80 percent. Above 80 percent, wildfires are unlikely to grow large and spread quickly as long-range spotting is greatly diminished due to new grass growing in, and fuel beds being greener and containing more moisture that must be vaporized before the fuels will ignite. No rain is expected through Dec. 29, and at least one Santa Ana wind event is forecast before the end of the year. Large wildfires that threaten lives and properties are still possible, and hazardous fire conditions and strong Santa Ana winds have occurred well into January. See detailed weather information at weather.gov.
The city has continued to ensure staff readiness during peak wildfire season by setting up the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) during nights and weekends when the National Weather Service has issued Red Flag Warnings. In addition to enabling the EOC operations to start immediately, it also trains the staff to be ready to activate and operate the EOC during a wildfire or other disaster. Additionally, the Public Safety Department has been conducting trainings to ensure staff is ready to use to use the city’s Everbridge Disaster Notifications System in case of a disaster requiring evacuations. To sign up for the city’s Disaster Notification System, visit member.everbridge. net/453003085613099/login. To sign up for lower-level emergency, traffic, weather and utility alerts by text and email, visit malibucity. org/list.aspx and scroll down to “Alert Center.”
the Malibu Farmers Market. The City of Malibu Planning Department posts a weekly report of approved event permits on the website.
In order for members of the public to be informed of pending event permit applications and to provide an additional opportunity for public input, the city has changed the Event Permit Report format to include all event permit applications deemed complete for review for consistency and compliance with the requirements of the Malibu Municipal Code and the Planning Director’s action on each application. The updated Event Permit Report has been posted to the city’s website. To
sign up to receive an email or text message when an updated Event Permit Report is posted, visit the e-notifications page (scroll down to the “Special Event Permit Report” category).

Malibu City Hall and Senior Center; Closed New Year’s Eve (observed) Friday, Dec. 30 at 11:30 a.m.; New Year’s Day (observed) all day Monday, Jan. 2. Park hours: Open regular hours daily, 8 a.m. to sunset.
Community members are encouraged to install a KnoxBox emergency key system to enable Sheriff’s deputies to access unstaffed gates to residential properties to ensure rapid law enforcement access in case of emergencies. To effectively and efficiently respond to emergency calls, Deputies need to be able to access all residential and commercial properties, including gated communities. The KnoxBox system is separate from the system used by the LA County Fire Department.
A Knox Master Key is given exclusively to deputies. Community members can buy a KnoxBox online. Once the purchase is made, the Malibu-Lost Hills Sheriff’s Station is notified, and a deputy will help verify access following its installation by a locksmith. For more information, contact Public Safety Liaison Luis Flores at (310) 456-2489, ext. 236, or lflores@malibucity.org.
2023 building codes go into effect Jan. 1
The new 2023 Los Angeles County Building Codes go into effect Sunday, Jan. 1. The city’s permit technicians will review online submittals on Tuesday, Jan. 3, to determine which code cycle will apply to the project submittals. For a project to be reviewed under the 2020 County of Los Angeles Codes, all required documents must have been provided by the deadline on Saturday, Dec. 31, at midnight (submittals and payments are time stamped).
All projects submitted on or after Jan. 1, or those that are incomplete by the deadline, will be reviewed under the 2023 codes. Applicants are urged not to wait and to request their Building Safety plan review and permits now. Building Safety submittal requirements are listed on the webpage.

Said sale will be held, but without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession, condition, or encumbrances, including fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust, to pay the remaining principal sums of the note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust. The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligation secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale is: $776,829.82 If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee, and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. The beneficiary under said Deed of Trust heretofore executed and delivered to the undersigned a written Declaration of Default and Demand for Sale, and a written Notice of Default and Election to Sell. The undersigned or its predecessor caused said Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the county where the real property is located.
NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property.
NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (800) 280-2832 or visit this Internet Web site WWW.AUCTION.COM, using the file number assigned to this case 104945-CA. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. NOTICE TO TENANT: Effective January 1, 2021, 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 (855) 313-3319, or visit this internet website www.clearreconcorp.com, using the file number assigned to this case 104945-CA to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase.

The 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: 01/26/23 at 8:30AM in Dept. 5 located at 111 N. HILL ST., LOS
ANGELES, CA 90012

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

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 (714) 730-2727 or visit this Internet Web site www.servicelinkASAP.com, using the file number assigned to this case 2022-01537. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.
NOTICE TO TENANT: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call (714) 730-2727, or visit this internet website www.servicelinkASAP.com, using the file number assigned to this case 2022-01537 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.

A PETITION FOR PROBATE has been filed by Robert M. Brunson in the Superior Court of California, County of LOS ANGELES.
THE PETITION FOR PROBATE requests that Robert M. Brunson 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 on January 10, 2023 at 8:30 AM in Dept. No. 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.
Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law.
YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request
for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.

The Planning Commission further determined that none of the six exceptions to the use of a categorical exemption apply to this project (CEQA

CASE NO. 22STPB12645
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the WILL or estate, or both of FONTAINE RHEIN AKA FONTAINE MACHADO.
A PETITION FOR PROBATE has been filed by DORA M. BAACK in the Superior Court of California, County of LOS ANGELES.
THE PETITION FOR PROBATE requests that DORA M. BAACK be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent.
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: 01/27/23 at 8:30AM in Dept. 29 located at 111 N. HILL ST., LOS ANGELES, CA 90012
IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you should
appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney.
IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code. Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law.
YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.

Ihope I’m not going too far out on a limb to predict that 2023 will be a better year than 2022. Let’s hope it is a considerably better year. If it isn’t, we are in trouble. Russia invaded Ukraine; women lost their right to an abortion; the world got noticeably warmer; prices of most things skyrocketed; the stock market tanked and Donald Trump announced he is running again — all in 2022. And yet, 2022 could have been much worse. How you might ask can that possibly be?
All you need to do is remember the prior year, the infamous 2021. With an attempted insurrection, 2021 set the bar very, very low. 2021 was also the year of covid. Most of us were relatively housebound. We did not travel much, dine out, or go to sporting events. We wore masks almost everywhere. And over 400,000 Americans died in 2021 from this horrible disease making it the third leading cause of death behind heart disease and cancer.
So let’s agree that neither 2021 nor 2022 were outstanding years. What can we expect for 2023? On the infectious disease front, hopefully more people will take their booster shots, and deaths and hospitalizations will continue to stabilize. The elections are behind us (hallelujah), and hopefully we can think about other matters. More than likely inflation will slowly come down, but the future in Ukraine is anybody’s guess, and we might well experience a recession.
The absolute truth is we can’t see the future, and we should all be ecstatic for that. The Greeks had a mythological character named Cassandra. She had the uncanny ability to see the future accurately, but she was cursed because she could not change the future in any way. Much of what happens in the world is way beyond our control, but let’s control what we can to make this coming year a good one!
Enjoy good health, and may 2023 be what you want it to be. Happy New Year!
Wilson finally took up the sport later in life in her 60s. “That was a big accomplishment I thought. I’m very proud of having been able to do that and I found out why they were so enthusiastic about it. It’s lots of fun.”
Wilson’s granddaughter Jen Hardy said, “She’s a great lady. I’m surprised she retired.”
Hardy admires many attributes of her grandmother’s work ethic and style as well. She says the family has nicknamed Wilson “The Dowergess” in a nod to the Downton Abbey series character Dowager Countess of Grantham who is always turned out in the loveliest finery. “She’s always in lace. She dresses in beiges and blues. She has stunning blue eyes. She has an elegant demeanor. I’ve never seen her yell in my entire life,” Hardy recalled. “And I was raised with my grandmother coming on every trip, coming to every play, coming to every major event in my life,” the lifelong Malibu resident said. Hardy’s family kept a permanent room for Wilson in their longtime Malibu home due to her frequent visits. “She was always with us. That’s why it’s so nice for my girls to know her.”
“I’m
film: It was “epic” and it was about Hollywood history. Because the film didn’t get made right away, he spent years collecting ideas for things he wanted to include in it.
“Anything that shocked or surprised me — anecdotes, characters, people, and interviews — I kept a whole notebook of things to add to the cauldron.”
In addition, he kept his dream for making “big canvas cinema, like some of the epics I grew up with — gargantuan pieces of cinema like “Titanic” and “JFK” in the ‘90s. They were inspiring to me, and they’ve become more and more rare,
these three-hour spectacles.”
There were a lot of ups and downs in getting “Babylon” made, according to Chazelle.
“Most studios said ‘no’ flat out,” he said. “Finally, Paramount, God bless them, were crazy enough to say ‘OK.’ Making a movie always seems to be like rolling a boulder uphill.”
However, the pandemic hit, and the making of the movie was delayed for a year, which caused them to have to do some recasting.
“The chairs all had to be reshuffled,” Chazelle remarked. “We could feel the movie slipping from our grasp, but on the positive side, we had time to spend on casting all the small parts with faces that are
unique and singular.”
“Babylon” hired 320 actors and 7,000 extras — and it wasn’t easy to find extras willing to take those parts.
“They either had to be naked or fighting on the battlefield, or dealing with alligators and snakes,” Chazelle conceded. “The level of things people were being asked to do was a challenge.”
For a third major role in the film, he specifically wanted to cast an unknown actor, which resulted in his discovery of Diego Calva from Mexico City.
“Finding Diego took the better part of that [pandemic] year,” he said. “I wanted a fresh face in that part — an everyman — a newcom-
er; so we can experience the largerthan-life characters played by Pitt and Robbie through him.”
“I originally found him through a head shot,” Chazelle said. “He was the epitome of a beginner, but he bloomed, and during rehearsals, suddenly he and Robbie felt like a pair of equals — electric and alive. He’s a major star in the making — a gift.”
There were often so many things going on at one time in the film that Chazelle resorted to choreographing the various scenes as if he were making a musical.
“We were choreographing extras like they were dancers,” he explained. “And actors needed to time their dialog. Pitt has a slower
rhythm and I had to push him to get through his dialog faster, which was the only way to coordinate with the other people in the frame, the overlapping dialog, the stunts, the fighting, and multiple people and things going on at once.”
One of the points Chazelle tries to make in the film is that, “Your soul lives forever on celluloid… there’s a weird eternal quality [to being in a movie]. Even today, we can watch Marilyn Monroe or Charlie Chaplin on film, and there‘s a kinship with these people that makes us feel like we know them.”
Chazelle and his wife, Olivia Hamilton, are both Ivy League graduates and live with their son on Point Dume.
