A seven-and-a-half mile stretch of Paci c Coast Highway north of Malibu in Ventura County is about to be redesigned with safety and climate change adaption in mind. Caltrans held a hybrid planning meeting Feb. 2 to announce its goals in an infrastructure community meeting.

Although just in the planning phase, the safety measures can’t come soon enough because the stretch of PCH that will be recongured with bike lanes is currently one of the deadliest.

“If you look at all the crashes in Los Angeles and Ventura Counties on the PCH, about 21 percent of those total crashes are happening in this seven-and-a-half-mile stretch,” said Ashley Haire, an engineer with Alta Planning and Design, hired by Caltrans for the

‘ e Surfer’s Palm Tree’ Malibu’s forgotten history

The 1973 movie “Serpico,”

starring Al Pacino, traced the true story of an undercover police o cer in New York City who refused to engage in illegal and unethical activities commonly in practice in the NYPD. In real life, Frank Serpico testi ed before the Knapp Commission on Police Corruption with the following admonishment: “ e problem is that the atmosphere does not yet exist in which honest police o cers can act without fear of ridicule or reprisal from fellow o cers.” e same policing culture that existed in the early 1970s has changed very little over the past half-century.

o cers and the victim were black there has been a muted degree of protest across the country, such as was witnessed in the George Floyd case. To suggest that this is not a case of institutional racism is unwarranted.

e swift actions taken by the Memphis Police Department and the ongoing e orts to relieve others who stood by and took no actions whatsoever, such as the rst responders who inexplicably did not render attention to the victim for nearly a half-hour, and the family’s very public grieving and calls for non-violence, eerily echoing Martin Luther King, Jr.’s mantra in the city where he was killed nearly 55 years ago, most likely have had a calming e ect to thwart violent protests.

Bakari Sellers, a former South Carolina state legislator, civil rights attorney and CNN contributor, captured the lack of outrage as follows: “For many Black folks, the race of a cop is cop.”

Toy Crazy celebrates 25 years in Malibu

Store owner Melissa Moore praises the love and support from generations of families in the community

With the help of technological advances, we are capable of seeing with our own eyes acts of unthinkable savagery perpetrated by those who wear a badge and a gun under the pretense of protecting and serving the public. e most recent videos document the brutal and horri c treatment of a 29-year-old African American in Memphis, Tennessee, under the questionable pretext of a tra c stop, which has left a family devastated with grief and a 4-year-old fatherless.

In the past several years, we have had to witness similar police atrocities, leaving some to question the need to defund and others the need to seriously reform policing policies and their implementation.

Shaun Harper writes in Forbes: “In 1897, W.E.B. DuBois noted that among the most corrosive e ects of racism was its tendency to make its victims see themselves through the eyes of people who hold them in contempt.” Harper asserts that institutional racism is a culture to which those in policing adhere, explaining how “ ve Black men could engage in police brutality, leading to the death of another Black man. ey participated in the same trainings as white cops.

On May 25, 2020, George Floyd was murdered by Minneapolis police o cer Derek Chauvin, who kneeled on his neck while he was handcu ed on the ground for nine minutes. On Jan. 7, 2023, Tyre Nichols was tased, pepper sprayed, and beaten to death by six Memphis police o cers.

MHS grad’s scripts for ABC’s ‘ e Good Doctor’ inspired by another MHS grad Co-Writer Nathalie Touboul’s episode, based on the life of Lyon Herron and his struggle with a rare disease, aired Jan. 23

Calls to reform quali cations for duty, address systemic racism, institute community policing, and eliminate qualified immunity, among others, have failed to see legislative redress, and the sad reality is that we should expect police violence to continue.

e so-called “blue wall of silence,” where police o cers refuse to speak out against their own, regardless of the seriousness of the crime, error, or misconduct, is all too similar to the Italian code of Omertà employed by criminal organizations like the Cosa Nostra. We must execute changes that encourage respect, trust, and condence in law enforcement.

ey entered a profession that was born of anti-Blackness (slave catchers were America’s original law enforcement o cers). ey worked in a place where decades of anti-black policies and tactics were created. How a police department behaves, thinks about Black communities, and mistreated Black people informs how its employees engage with the Black citizens they were hired to protect and serve — even when they’re Black.”

As in most public policy issues, it is often somewhat more complicated than it at rst appears. While diversifying police departments has made some improvement in police culture, it is only a beginning.

All four Minneapolis police ofcers were red the next day after the department reviewed the videos, and a short four days later, Chauvin was charged with murder. Memphis moved slower: e six o cers were red two weeks later, indicted a week after that, and have been charged with second-degree murder. In both cases the victims were Black, and both pled for their mothers to help them as they were being killed on our streets by abusive cops. Soul crushing.

In the most recent travesty, which resulted in the death of Tyre Nichols, both the perpetrators and the victim were black, sparking conservative outcry that racism was not a factor. Ironically, some on the liberal spectrum are questioning whether racism played a role in the swift ring and serious charges, including second-degree murder, of the ve o cers involved to date in the vicious treatment of Mr. Nichols.

ere is an underlying current that suggests that because both the

Professor Jody Armour, a USC law professor o ers, “We have a very simplistic way of approaching the problem of policing and believing that representation is some kind of silver bullet … it’s not just a Black and white issue, but a Black and blue one. And when you put on that blue uniform, it often becomes the primary identity that drowns out any other identities that might compete with it.”

Shifting the focus on certain actions of individuals as bad apples is, excuse the expression, a cop-out. We must focus on racism as a systemic problem.

e dichotomy in our country’s reaction to these events is striking and thought-provoking. e Floyd murder sparked the biggest national protests since the civil rights movement of the 1960s, in over 2,000 cities, 200 of which had to impose curfews due to looting, arson, and murders. Sixty-thousand National Guard personnel were deployed. Courthouses were firebombed, police stations were vandalized or burned, and monuments were destroyed around the country. Up to $2 billion in property damage occurred in the riots, and at least 18 people died, with many injured. In contrast, the protests in response to the Nichols killing have been exponentially

Why is that?

As repulsive as Chauvin’s kneeling on Floyd’s neck was, the sheer brutality of the beating of Nichols last month with sts and batons, while he was restrained with his hands behind his back, eclipses it. Both victims were Black, with the obvious di erence being in the Floyd case, the o cers were white, whereas in the Nichols case, all the o cers were also Black. Some have tried to rationalize the di erence in our reaction to the responsiveness of the government in taking to task the police brutality in Memphis, but in reality, the Minneapolis police ocers were terminated and charged with a crime quicker. Clearly, it’s the race of the abusive police that makes the di erence.

I am a strong supporter of law enforcement, which is sometimes a violent and messy business when they need to subdue criminals who are resisting arrest. It can involve profanity, pepper spray, Tasers, batons, sts, and sometimes gunghts. ey have a tough job, and sometimes it’s ugly, but overwhelmingly law enforcement is measured and conscientious. But when we see white police o cers violently subduing black people, it triggers strong negative emotions in Americans.

Until the last half-century, we had a horrible record in parts of the country of abusive behavior to our Black citizenry. On bloody Sunday, March 7, 1965, in Alabama, state and county police brutally attacked peaceful civil rights marchers on horseback with whips and clubs, hospitalizing dozens. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. organized another march two days later, and the brutal images galvanized America. e civil rights act was passed, with Democrat support only in the mid-60 percent range, while Republican support was in the 80th percentile, led by Everett Dirksen. We’ve come a long, long way, and we are not going to go back, but we are still hypersensitive

to those images. Many Democrats regularly exploit the race card to attack political opponents, which is in ammatory and dangerous. In the recent Nichols case, President Biden still invoked his race, even though the police beating him were also Black. When an abusive cop is white, many presume his actions are racially motivated, with or without evidence, in part because the left inculcates entire communities with a drumbeat of “systemic racism.” Just elect them into power, and they will get it all xed, they say, while proposing disastrous policies like defunding law enforcement. Where tried, defunding and disengagement has resulted in skyrocketing crime including rape, burglary, drug dealing, and murder, disproportionately in black neighborhoods. Interestingly, Gallup polls have shown that black Americans prefer to maintain police presence in their neighborhoods similar to the percentages of other Americans. However, Black and white Americans di er in their con dence in police more than any other U.S. institution, a 29 percent gap according to a 2021 Gallup poll. We have a lot of work still to do.

However, there may be a silver lining to this latest tragic event in Memphis. e police brutality, lmed and evident for all to see, doesn’t have the racial overtones of others, although the radical left will still try to contrive a theory on why it’s racism based. Truth is, all Americans of all races want safe communities for their children and to run their businesses. Maybe we are turning a corner where we all view them as “our police,” and work together for constructive reforms to eliminate abuse while maintaining their e cacy. Maybe.

Huge Malibu sign gone missing

A huge community sign at the top of Corral Canyon has gone missing. The “Welcome to Corral Canyon Drive Carefully” sign was reported missing on Feb. 2.

Sheriff’s personnel from the Malibu/Lost Hills station are “looking into it.” Some community members are speculating that someone may have stolen the sign from its mounted block. Tools may have been left behind at the scene. The sign that many have called “meaningful to the area” is a few feet wide and may have needed more than one person to haul away.

City holds multi-agency earthquake preparedness exercise on Jan.19

Just six days after the exercise, a 4.2 earthquake and several aftershocks strike o the coast of Malibu

By SAMANTHA BRAVO Of The Malibu Times

The City of Malibu conducted a multi-agency earthquake exercise on Jan. 19 at City Hall. e scenario was based on “ e Big One,” a devastating 7.8 earthquake that seismic experts believe will eventually strike on the San Andreas Fault. e exercise looked at impacts, responses, needs, challenges, and procedures that all of the agencies responding to a massive earthquake would experience in Malibu.

“If a massive earthquake strikes the Los Angeles County area, Malibu could be isolated and without water, electricity, communications and help from responding agencies for days, so we have to do everything we can to be prepared to be self-sufcient,” Mayor Bruce Silverstein said in a press release. “It is crucial that community members, business owners, students, employees, and organizations in Malibu work on their emergency plans and supplies so we can all be ready and resilient.”

Just days after the exercise, on Jan. 25, a 4.2 earthquake and several aftershocks struck o the coast of Malibu. While no damage was reported, the city was in immediate contact with the County O ce of Emergency Management, coordinated with county agencies to conduct damage assessments, and developed public messaging about the potential hazard of falling rocks in canyon roads in light of several rockslides that occurred during the recent rains.

One of the main goals was to ensure that partner agencies were familiar with, in contact with, and collaborating with each other and the city, and are familiar with Malibu’s speci c hazards and community characteristics.

City sta and public safety commissioners were joined by participating agencies, including the Los Angeles County Sheri ’s, Fire and Public Works departments, CHP, Caltrans, LA County Metro, Pepperdine University, HRL, Malibu Community Emergency Response Team (CERT), West Basin Municipal Water District, Socal Gas Company, Southern California Edison, SM-MUSD, cell phone and Internet service providers, and others.

While a major earthquake on the San Andreas fault would not be expected to cause extensive structural damage in Malibu, the community would likely experience signi cant infrastructure disruption, loss of electricity, water, gas, phone, and internet service from damage within and outside the city, and the loss of road access in and out of Malibu.

e scenario was based on the Great Shakeout Scenario developed in 2008 by Dr. Lucy Jones of the U.S. Geological Survey and a group of over 300 scientists, engineers, and other experts. A 7.8 earthquake would cause massive, widespread damage across Southern California that would be far worse than that of the 6.7 Northridge earthquake in 1994. e 7.8 earthquake scenario projects more than 1,800 deaths, 50,000 injuries, $200 billion in damage (in 2008 dollars), and severe, long-lasting disruption to all sectors of the economy and communities.

A key takeaway of the exercise was the need for the city to increase e orts to engage the full community and incorporate all community resources into the city’s Emergency Operations Plan.

Information collected during the exercise will be used to create an earthquake playbook to help guide the city in the rst days of a major, regional disaster, and will be incorporated into the update of the Emergency Operations Plan this year.

During commissioner’s comments, Je Jennings mentioned the ve-year deadline for Woolsey Fire rebuilds.

“ e time limit is ve years, so we’re coming on to that,” Jennings said. “Im looking at the website, and the number of people have been able to rebuild — it’s not everybody. I just wanted the sta and public aware of that potential problem.”

All required building permits should be pulled by Dec. 30 (fees will have to be paid for any building permit pulled after Dec. 30 before it will be issued).

Point Dume access road and parking lot closed due to storm damage

The Point Dume access road is closed from the end of Westward Beach Road at the parking kiosk to the entrance to the Point Dume parking lot due to storm damage. The edge of the road and the restroom building by the entrance to Point Dume parking lot are heavily eroded and at risk of collapse.

The Los Angeles County Beaches and Harbors Department has been doing emergency repair work on the site for the last two weeks, in close coordination with the California Coastal Commission. Access to Birdview Avenue remains open. The beach itself on remains open, but there is no vehicle access beyond the end of Westward Beach Road.

The beach is heavily eroded, and very high tides continue, causing hazardous conditions, so beachgoers are advised to stay away. There is no current estimate for reopening the access road, parking lot and bathroom. For further questions, call Beaches and Harbors at (424) 526-7777.

held several times at various locations in Malibu with other sponsors,” the post states. “ e ‘Zuma Cars & Co ee’ event was not a liated with the City of Malibu’s ‘Cars and Co ee’ event that has taken place on Sundays at Malibu Blu s Park for several years, and is now on hold.”

According to the post, City Code Enforcement contacted the property owner, and issued a citation for the unpermitted event. e property owner assured the Code Enforcement O cer that no future car events would take place at their property.

e City of Malibu used to hold its Cars and Co ee at Malibu Blu s Park every second and fourth Sunday of the month, but the event has been on hold since September 2022.

e City of Malibu said there are currently no plans to bring back the event.

“If the Parks & Recreation Commission and City Council express a desire to revive the event, the sta will provide an analysis on whether it is feasible, bene cial, safe and in line with the needs, desires and values of the community, then the City Council may make that decision,” Media Information O cer Matt Myerho said.

As for the car show on Jan. 22, videos of the event have surfaced on social media, and the Malibu/Lost Hills sheri ’s deputies are seen issuing citations to vehicles exiting the parking lot. at morning, deputies wrote 11 moving violation citations and 10 parking citations.

Malibu/Lost Hills Sheri ’s Lt. Dustin Carr provided a statement on the issuing of tickets.

“While speeding is a reason for a tra c stop, there are many other reasons law enforcement conduct enforcement stops,” Carr said. “For example, many vehicles have modi ed exhausts that do not comply with the California Vehicle Code.”

e Zuma Cars & Co ee social media account shared a video of a vehicle being pulled over by a sheri ’s deputy as it was exiting the parking lot. Most of the commenters stated they found the citation to be an “unnecessary citation.”

Many car enthusiasts ooded the comment section to express their concerns against the city’s decision to cite the business and prevent the organizer from hosting any future car show events in Malibu. e post has nearly 500 comments as of Feb. 7.

Sasha, who preferred to not provide her last name, manages the Zuma Cars & Co ee Instagram account and said they have received much support from the community and car enthusiasts about the car show.

“As you can tell by the response of the City of Malibu’s post, we have a lot of support from locals as well,” Sasha said.

“What we do is not an o cial event, we post we will be at a location, and whoever wants to come is welcome,” Sasha said. “We do tell people you cannot rev, burn out, and have any obnoxious activity. You must respect the location. If you do misbehave, you will be asked to leave immediately.”

“We have never been told we need a TUP [Temporary Use Permit], and according to what we read on the Malibu TUP website, what we are doing doesn’t require [one],” Sasha said. “We were a small group of car owners that met at a restaurant for breakfast. No fee to attend; anyone from the public is welcome at the restaurant. But that being said, we have no problem applying for one but it’s been clearly stated in many di erent ways that car club permits will not be issued.

e car shows are free to attend and while many of these classics are not set up for front plates, Sasha and many car enthusiasts say the “no plate” tickets are “unnecessary harassment.”

“It makes no sense, and the unnecessary harassment is disappointing,” Sasha said. “ ere are a lot of good sheri ’s [deputies]... we just want to make sure everyone follows the rules... we have helped them enforce [the rules when needed]. We have no problem working with the city or county regarding our meetups.”

Managing Director of Aviator Nation Dreamland Kelly Furano commented on the City of Malibu’s post and said she was in contact with Capt. Jennifer Seetoo the day before the event.

“I was on site observing with my two children. ere was no car revving, just people celebrating the car community,” Furano said. “Our landlord offered his lot to this community as a show of support. It was not a car show or event, but rest assured, we will be more cautious in the future about how we support community artistry. Sometimes I feel that no matter what we do with the heart of Malibu in center focus, we fail. In my dream, posts like this would celebrate the e orts we are making to bring this town together, not highlight the one thing someone nds wrong.”

Artist and Vice Chair of the Malibu Arts Commission Fireball Tim Lawrence attended the car show, and hosts car shows around Southern California. Lawrence will be hosting the original Wheels and Waves at Sea n Soul Surf in Malibu on March 5.

According to the City of Malibu’s website, a TUP is required 35 days in advance; Lawrence said his show is still in the process of being approved.

“We’re cutting a little close,” Lawrence said. “Worst case scenario is that we get it [TUP], and then we reschedule the date of the show, but we want to make sure that we do the process right.”

According to the TUP application, events that take place outside of a business building or outside the normal service area of a restaurant require a TUP.

“At this point, the city is requiring a TUP because the issue isn’t really with the cars; the issue is the way in which people, certain people, drive to the show and leave the show, that’s really where the problem exists and why the sheri ’s [deputies] have to do their job,” Lawrence said. “ ey want people to have a good time, but the way people leave the show is what causes the show to end...so now they required any automotive event in Malibu to obtain a TUP.”

Lawrence said in the 10 years he has hosted car shows, no one has ever received a ticket.

“My show is considered an art show, it’s an art show because people who bring their cars have built their cars, they didn’t go to a dealer and spend a million dollars on a car. ey didn’t go to an auction and buy the car. ey bought the car for $1,500, $2,500, or $10,000 bucks, and then they spent the better part of a year or two building,” Lawrence said. “ ey bring that car to the show and they don’t drive them fast because they don’t want them to break — they don’t want anything to happen to them, so it’s the mentality, it’s very speci c.”

Lawrence remembers the car meetups at Cross Creek and said they weren’t organized by anyone — cars just started showing up.

“So once again, it’s not the people that come to the show and enjoy the show, it’s the people that come to see something very speci c and they’re very young, in many cases, they don’t think the laws apply to them, they have a need for speed and they’re fueled by the lm industry and the movies that get made,” Lawrence said. “ ey come to the show and they drive the way they do, and then if they get a ticket, it’s all about blame. I’ve done this for 30 years and trust me when I say there’s a massive di erence.”

e Zuma Cars & Co ee organizers said their car shows help support local businesses both retail and restaurants in addition they have raised money for charities in the past.

“We are car enthusiasts looking for an opportunity to meet once a month on a Sunday for two hours. We are business owners and people that love cars who want to see friends before we go back to work on Monday,” Zuma Cars & Co ee posted on social media. “Our goal is not to cause problems, but create a place where people of all races, genders, social class, background, and professions can come together and enjoy their same passion. With all the ghting that happens in this world, why is our peaceful and positive group such a nuisance? We are not all car groups and can’t be blamed for other misbehavior. If you misbehave at ours, you

are banned permanently.”

e City of Malibu provided the following statement on Friday, Feb. 3.

“ e car events, whether they are organized and in one location, social media-based, or spontaneous, are generally disruptive to the community by creating noise, tra c congestion, and taking up parking for long periods of time, preventing people from being able to access shops and restaurants, and disrupting businesses. ey often are associated with dangerous and illegal behavior, like racing and drifting, and lead to illegal parking, including in designated re lanes. e City’s and the Sheri ’s Department’s response has consistently been that motorists can only be cited or arrested if they observed breaking the law. An organized event requires a Temporary Use Permit, and if a car event takes place that should require a TUP, the City can send Code Enforcement to investigate, and, if appropriate, issue a citation. Currently, the City does not support car events that are disruptive to the community, but any event organizer may apply for a TUP, and every event will be evaluated on its merits.”

Some areas of that stretch of PCH have shoulders, and in other places there are none. Caltrans said there is little pedestrian activity on that stretch of roadway.

“You’ve probably not seen a lot of folks out there walking just for fun,” Haire said. “A lot of the pedestrian activity is actually folks who have driven out there, gotten out of their car, and are pulling their surfboards or picnic materials out of their vehicles.

John Paul DeJoria, self-made billionaire and philanthropist best known as a cofounder of the Paul Mitchell line of hair products and the Patrón Spirits Co., purchased Tuna Canyon in 1990. He intended to develop the property into a dozen 20-acre estates. However, after walking the land, DeJoria changed his mind and decided to donate Tuna Canyon to preserve it as open space.

In 2000, he approached MRT, a nonpro t land trust dedicated to preserving land in the Santa Monica Mountains, with a proposal to sell and gift Tuna Canyon to them. DeJoria and MRT executed a purchase agreement that required Tuna Canyon to “be held as open space in perpetuity and that no development of any kind shall take place on the property.”

According to the indictment, beginning in June 2017, Flores and Moore used false promises and representations to befriend the physician and successful investor worth over $60 million. His bipolar disorder became severe after he burned his hands in 2016 and could no longer perform surgery, according to a report in Market Watch. Within days of meeting Sawusch at an ice cream shop in Venice Beach, Flores and Moore moved into his beachfront Malibu home — rent free — and gradually took control of his life by pretending to be his new “best friends” and caregivers.

In September 2017, after the victim su ered a severe mental breakdown resulting in his arrest and detention in LA County jail, Flores allegedly fraudulently induced Sawusch to sign over power of attorney, which allowed control over his nances.

Flores allegedly promised he’d only use the powers to post bail, and would immediately rescind them once the victim was out of jail. But after Sawusch was released, Flores allegedly went back on his word and used the powers to open bank accounts in the victim’s name, giving himself and Moore access to the victim’s wealth.

From September 2017 to May 2018, Flores and Moore allegedly diverted the victim’s funds to their own bank accounts, isolated the victim from his family and longtime friends, and provided the victim with various drugs.

In the nal days of Sawusch’s life, Flores and Moore allegedly gave the victim LSD (lysergic acid diethylamide), which caused his mental state to severely deteriorate. While the victim was under the in uence, Flores allegedly changed the two-step authentication feature on the victim’s $60 million online brokerage account after previously changing

MRT later defaulted on the loan they took out to purchase the property, and Canyon Vineyard Estates, LLC scooped up the property. In 2017, CVE began legal proceedings to extinguish the use restrictions contained in the grant deed, so they could develop it. For whatever reason, they continue to maintain that MRT is legally responsible for clearing the homeless encampments.

Four days before Sawusch’s death and while he was still under the in uence of LSD, Flores allegedly initiated two $1 million wires from the victim’s brokerage account to his own personal bank account. Flores and Moore left after the victim evicted them and proceeded to stay in a luxury hotel paid for with the victim’s money. Additionally, Flores and Moore allegedly watched the victim’s deteriorating mental condition on video cameras installed throughout the Malibu beach house.

In May 2018, the victim died in his Malibu home at the age of 57. e coroner’s o ce listed the cause of death as the result of mixing ketamine with alcohol. His death was deemed an accident.

As Sawusch’s family began settling his estate, they discovered nearly $3 million was missing — transferred into accounts controlled by Flores and Moore, according to Market Watch. But that wasn’t the end of it, prosecutors said. In the following months, the pair moved back into Sawusch’s house, claimed it as theirs, and said they were entitled to a third of his fortune. A lengthy legal ght then took place between the pair and the Sawusch family.

Flores and Moore allegedly withdrew large sums of money from his accounts and allegedly also hid information about the victim’s nances from his mother and sister, who both live in Florida.

In the ensuing lawsuit in LA Superior Court, Flores and Moore allegedly violated multiple court orders ordering them to return the funds stolen from Sawusch. ey allegedly attempted to launder the fraudulent proceeds by funneling the money through multiple di erent accounts to prevent the victim’s estate and court-appointed receiver from getting the money. e lawsuit was settled with Flores and Moore agreeing to repay the victim’s estate $1 million, which they still haven’t done.

If convicted on all counts, Flores and Moore would face statutory maximum sentences of 20 years in prison for each fraud count, 20 years on the conspiracy to commit money laundering and laundering of monetary instruments counts, 10 years on transactional money laundering count, and a mandatory two-year prison sentence for the aggravated identity theft count.

time, but discontinued it.

In response to the 2021 re, Malibu passed an expanded “Nuisance Abatement” ordinance that went into e ect Aug. 20, 2021; giving private property owners a more detailed de nition of what constitutes a nuisance. It now includes fire and biohazards; storage of cooking, heating and camping equipment; and trash and debris.

In addition, nuisances were de ned as conditions that threaten adjacent properties and the general community.

With the new “summary abatement” procedure, the city manager must rst notify the owner of the hazardous conditions, and ask them to voluntarily take care of it. If they don’t, the city has the authority to enter the property, instigate abatement procedures, and bill the property owner for the clean-up.

Hairstylist Anthony Flores, 46, who also goes by the name of Anton David, was arrested the last week of January, of allegedly defrauding the late Dr. Mark Sawusch of over $2.7 million.

side, he had all this incredible innocence and purity and spirituality, and then on the other side, you had the feisty humor, and the sort of rebel and these juxtapositions you get to see,” Butler said. “He was such a melting pot of in uences, he became this prism of something that has never quite been seen that way before ... he had a beautiful soul.”

Luhrmann said what he learned about Elvis after doing his research was a surprise.

The

Director, writer, producer, and Oscar nominee Baz Luhrmann said the lm “Elvis” almost didn’t happen.

“ is baby almost died and we never had that experience before,” Luhrmann said. “I lived the research and I was thinking [what if] I couldn’t nd someone to play Elvis, and I couldn’t make the movie.”

On Sunday, Jan. 29, e Malibu Film Society screened the lm “Elvis” at Agoura Stadium 8 eater in Agoura Hills.

e lm explores the life and music of Elvis Presley played by Austin Butler and the prism of his complicated relationship with his enigmatic manager, Colonel Tom Parker, played by Tom Hanks. e story delves into the complex dynamic between Presley and Parker spanning 20 years, from Presley’s rise to fame to his unprecedented stardom, against the backdrop of the evolving cultural landscape and loss of innocence in America.

e Austrian-born Luhrmann shared his experience making the lm during the pandemic and discovering what made Elvis Presley special.

“When we went into lockdown with all the terrible things of the lockdown, it gave great gifts to us,” he said. “[Actor] Austin [Butler] had more time to prepare, and I had more time to really look at the tapes,” Luhrmann said.

e sold-out event brought fans from around the world, including Elvis Presley fan Joao Tavaras from Brazil. Tavaras attended

the lm screening and shared his excitement for the lm and seeing Butler.

“He [Elvis] changed my life,” Tavaras said.

“I had a lot of bad moments in my life and Elvis was there to help me. I know everything about Elvis. I also like Austin [Butler]. He’s a great actor.”

After the lm, Malibu Film Society Executive Director Scott Tallal welcomed Luhrmann and fellow Oscar nominee Butler to the stage for the Q&A.

Tallal asked Butler about his audition tape, and Butler said he recorded himself singing “Love Me Tender.”

“I heard Baz was making this lm and I

started preparing as though I got the job, but just being in the room with Baz felt like a dream come true,” Butler said.

Butler was 23 years old when his mother passed away, which was the same age Elvis was when his mother, Gladys Presley, passed away.

“ at became the rst key, it was the most human thing that I could connect to,” Butler said. “I had a dream and the rst thing that came to my mind was put it in a song, take all of that — that’s the most raw emotion — and I ended up thinking of ‘Unchained Melody,’ so I sat down in the piano, and I just let all that emotion go into that song and I

sang it to my mom.”

Butler said preparing for the role was “the most terrifying” thing he could imagine.

“I often try to use fear as a compass and this was the most terrifying thing I can image, just taking on the life of this man who has either been so misunderstood by the world, so there’s a responsibility there to bring truth,” Butler said. “He’s so loved by everyone.”

Two audience members were able to ask Luhrmann and Butler a question. One person asked what made Elvis stand out.

“For me, it’s that purity that he had, it’s all the dynamics that went together; on one

“He was truly deeply spiritual, all through his life, his love of gospel, that was his safe place,” Luhrmann said. “He’s trying to be a spiritual superhero, healing and xing things and of course, that’s an impossible task but it brings great beauty and great tragedy.”

e lm is now honored with eight Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture and Best Actor.

Luhrmann has directed six lms including, “Strictly Ballroom” (1992), “Romeo+Juliet” (1996), “Moulin Rouge!” (2001), “Australia” (2008), “ e Great Gasby” (2013), and now “Elvis” (2022). Luhrmann has received various awards for his lm projects, and was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Picture as a producer of “Moulin Rouge!”

“Elvis” delivers dazzling, crowd-pleasing entertainment that provokes a wide range of emotions. e lm was released on June 24, 2022, and recently returned to the big screen. e lm is also available for purchase on HBO Max and Hulu.

Tallal said they tried to move to a bigger screen room, but the theater was unable to move the lm.

“We were trying to get into a larger theater because the studio had invited so many guests that unfortunately, they couldn’t get all of that worked out in time that and we had to turn 80 people away, which is why we started 15 minutes late,” Tallal said.

Tallal said although there were some hiccups with the seating, the evening went well.

Malibu High School freshman stars in Santa Monica musical

The show, “Freckleface Strawberry,” promoting inclusivity, is for all ages

By JUDY ABEL Special to The Malibu Times

There’s a charming musical playing at the Morgan-Wixson eatre in Santa Monica. One of its stars is Malibu’s own Joaquin Hosfeld. e 15-year-old earned one of the leads in the show based on Academy Award-winning actress Julianne Moore’s best-selling children’s book series “Freckleface Strawberry.” e musical is for all ages with a theme of inclusivity.

Growing up in Malibu, Joaquin started performing in musicals at age 9 with a youth theater group at the Malibu Playhouse. When the pandemic limited acting opportunities, he kept his drive to perform again. As theaters reopened, he earned a supporting role in “Legally Blonde: e Musical” at a community theater group in Hollywood. Last fall he earned a role in “Mathilda the Musical” at the Morgan-Wixson. In his second show at the Santa Monica venue, Joaquin landed a lead in “Freckleface Strawberry the Musical” presented by YES Youth eater Workshops.

Miley Cyrus blooms at No. 1 on Billboard Hot 100 with new single ‘Flowers’

By SAMANTHA BRAVO Of The Malibu Times

Singer/songwriter Miley Cyrus recently released a single “Flowers,” and her lyrics not only share her experience with losing her home in the Woolsey Fire in 2018, she sings words of women empowerment, inner healing, and self-love.

e Malibu local coincidentally released the song on her ex-husband Liam Hemsworth’s 33rd birthday, and her fans speculate it was no accident.

Cyrus shared a social media post announcing her music video release on Jan. 13, “I can love me better than you can,” the post says.

From Jan. 13 to 19, her single ran up totals of 52.6 million streams, 33.5 million radio airplay audience impressions, and 70,000 sold in its rst full tracking week, according to Billboard.

In her song she says, “Built a home and watched it burn.” She and ex-husband actor Liam Hemsworth lost their Malibu home to the Woolsey Fire in 2018. e former couple met in 2009 while lming an adaptation of Nicholas Sparks’ “ e Last Song” and announced their engagement in 2012. Shortly after the couple’s divorce in 2020, they sold a nearby Malibu property they also owned that had not burned down.

After several years, Cyrus returned to Malibu. She recently purchased a Mediterranean-style mansion for $7.9 million in 2022, according to Architectural Digest. Her lyrics also describe what it’s like after a breakup: “I didn’t want to leave, I didn’t want to ght, started to cry but then remembered, I can buy myself owers.” Her lyrics invoked strength, loss and empowerment.

“I can buy myself owers,” she wrote. “Write my name in the sand; Talk to myself for hours; Say things you don’t understand; I can take myself dancing; And I can hold my own hand; Yeah, I can love me better than you can.”

e groovy inspirational song may also sound familiar, as fans are comparing it to Bruno Mars’ 2012

“When I Was Your Man,” and Gloria Gaynor’s, 1978 “I Will Survive.” e songs have di erent meanings but de nitely share similar elements.

Cyrus is behind the hit 2017 song “Malibu,” a song she says is about individual growth, happiness and independence.

“I think as a woman I always want to change that power back also and say ‘Hey I did that,’” Cyrus said in a interview in 2017. “I made a decision to say ‘Hey this is what I want,’ and anything that I want I’m going to put my entire heart and brain into it and make it happen.”

Cyrus has been a social activist and philanthropist. In 2014, she founded e Happy Hippie Foundation, an American nonpro t organization, a program that provides homeless youth, LGBTQ youth and other vulnerable youth populations with consistent support services, education and employment opportunities.

Her new anthem will be on repeat this summer as it shares a message about inner-healing and self-love: “No remorse, no regret, I forgive every word you said.” Her upcoming 13-track album, “Endless Summer Vacation,” is set to be released on March 10.

Burt’s Eye View: ere is Hope

PERSPECTIVE

By Burt Ross, Contributed Column

We all need hope, and I am no less than my fellow man. As I rapidly reach my ninth decade, I all too frequently see my friends and acquaintances encounter signi cant health issues. I, too, am not immune, as my own recent bout of vertigo makes all too clear. But every once in a while, I hear a story which gives me hope.

A close friend of mine, Loretta Weinberg, will be 88 soon, and she recently retired as the Majority Leader of the New Jersey Senate. She has a dynamic personality and is blessed with a big heart and a great sense of humor.

Loretta moved into an assisted living facility roughly a year ago, and she tells me that a woman who lived

collectively won 12 Oscars and were nominated 95 times in musical categories. His older siblings, Martha and Isabella atcher, and Sonny Newman, are all enjoying professional careers in theater and lm.

“Freckleface Strawberry the Musical” is about 7-year-olds, one named Strawberry. In it, Joaquin plays Danny, a popular jock.

“He’s good at basketball, but he’s not very bright,” he explained. “He’s kind of a brat and a bully.” But Joaquin’s mother Newman pointed out his character is also “soft hearted.”

Danny eventually leads a search for Strawberry when she goes missing. One character has a “huge crush” on his Danny character, which is another plot point in the story.

Joaquin, who is a bit of a jock also as he plays baseball for MHS, dances in a few numbers. One routine even has him dancing while bouncing a basketball in time

there was 106 years old. More remarkable is that this woman did not use a cane nor a walker, and you might not believe me, but every morning this woman worked out on the treadmill. I know you think I am making this up, but I would trust Loretta with my life. She speaks the truth.

Loretta tells me that each morning at the exact same time, this woman went on the treadmill and then had her breakfast in the communal dining room. Late last year, another woman who lives above the gym did not hear the treadmill at the appointed time. She went to the dining room and did not see the 106-year-old lady. She alerted management, and they found her in bed, having breathed her last breath.

“To live 106 years, to be in good physical shape, and to die peacefully in sleep, what more could any of us want?” I asked Loretta. She simply responded, “107 years.”

to the music. “It’s extraordinary,” Newman chuckled. Joaquin also tap dances with the cast in the show. Every musical number includes a di erent style of dance including hip hop and ballet. “ ere’s never a dull moment,” Joaquin said. “ ere’s even a gospel number.”

“ e reason why I (auditioned) for the show is because of the company. It’s excellent, Although it’s not a well-known show, it’s about inclusivity. It’s about a girl who’s getting bullied for having freckles on her face. She’s not seen as an actual person. She’s seen as just the kid with freckles.”

“ ere’s also another character called ‘Ballet Girl.’

It’s ironic that she’s unnamed because she’s another huge lead in the play. It’s also seen as how positive things can also kind of kill your identity. She’s excellent in ballet. She’s going to be professional, but since she’s so good nobody really sees her as a person anymore. e whole play is about how these characters overcome and see how much they miss in a person because they view them as objects to

and great audiences at this location,” Tallal said. “We really want to come back to Malibu, and I’m hoping that we can work that out; this is the kind of event that should’ve been done in Malibu.”

During the past ve years, the Malibu Film Society has screened an average of more than 80 lms per year. During the awards season (November through February), this includes most of the awards categories: nominated features, documentaries, and short lms. Films are currently screened at the Agoura Stadium 8 eater in Agoura Hills and the Bay eater in Pacific Palisades, with additional screening venues planned for the future.

“ is does nothing for our community,” Tallal said. “We started this because we wanted to do it for Malibu and the way things are right now, we can’t because the city is still preventing us from doing what we need to do where we need to do it.”

make fun of, but they actually do deeply care about the person. at’s what the main four characters are searching for,” Joaquin explained.

e books the musical is based on are apparently semi-autobiographical. e actress Julianne Moore was called “Freckleface Strawberry” as a kid.

e show’s director Anne Gesling commented on the triple threat. “Joaquin is a powerhouse! No matter what you ask for as a director or choreographer, he will do his utmost to make it happen, on stage and o . He is constantly working to better himself in all aspects of theater— acting, singing, and dancing. Plus, he is one of the most polite kids I have ever had the pleasure of directing.”

Asked if he wants to pursue theater as an adult Joaquin answered, “Well I do love theater. I’m still trying to gure it out, but if I was to pursue musical theater as a career I de nitely would not be upset about it.”

Of his fellow performers the MHS student said, “I think they are excellent actors. It’s an excellent plot. ere’s never a boring moment.”

Pepperdine’s Malibu Historical Archive needs you!

By BENJAMIN MARCUS

For a long three-plus years I’ve been researching, writing and gathering photos and information for an ambitious Malibu history book being put together under the working title “Chumash to Hard Cash.” I’ve spent many hours digging through photo archives at the Huntington Library, the Adamson House, and the Pepperdine Digital Collections. Before COVID threw a spanner in the works, I had an opportunity to visit Pepperdine Libraries and access their photo archive. I was fortunate to have access to the Pepperdine archive, which would trim money o the book budget, and people in Malibu from young to old are genuinely interested in Malibu history.

Several months ago, Anastasia Armendariz, the new librarian for special collections and the Malibu Historical Collection, contacted me after the closing of Malibu Kitchen. We met for lunch at Broad Street Oyster to discuss my project.

I showed her images from the book I had collected from the archives and also some private citizens and we both agreed there was probably a lot of Malibu history stashed away in steamer trunks and attics. So I said I would do an interview with her to try and ush that history out.

Anastasia, what brings you to this quiet little seaside community? Did you attend Pepperdine?

No, I didn’t attend Pepperdine. I am originally from the area, and when I was in high school and applying for college. I was ready to try somewhere beyond Southern California. I went east to Georgetown and then on to University of Maryland, College Park, for grad school. It was this job that brought me back to SoCal.

Does your o ce have a view?

Of my wonderful co-workers, yes! It encourages me to go outside during breaks and remind myself where I have landed.

Your job title is a whopping 22 syllables. What are your o cial duties?

I am responsible for maintaining and building the Malibu Historical Collection. is includes processing collections and making them available for others to refer to and access and promoting them in writing, over reference consultations, and through di erent public-facing programming.

In addition to other tasks, I also support various rare books-focused projects in special collections and lead instruction sessions for undergraduate students with relevant collections objects in our seminar room. I really enjoy these opportunities to connect Pepperdine students with their course materials, prior interests, and history through material objects.

How are you quali ed for this position?

My education and work experience de nitely ended up preparing me for this job. I didn’t know what special collections and archives were until I started looking for student employment during my rst semester of college. I saw postings for jobs in the library, and special collections speci cally. I quickly learned

this would involve much more than loving libraries for the sake of reading books. Special collections and archives in academic institutions, including here at Pepperdine, are charged with preserving and also sharing physical and digital materials that represent signi cant cultural heritage for the purpose of education and enjoyment.

I continued working in libraries and museums from there, and I sought out opportunities to learn about the rare book trade and community-based archives as I continued my education.

You studied English and library science at Georgetown, I believe.

I did a ve-year BA/MA in English at Georgetown.

As my studies in literature progressed alongside my awareness of narrative-rich archival and book history, the two elds started merging. is looked like care for material culture — an understanding of history through the objects that people use and treasure, and their associated stories. Nothing against anthologies or textbooks, but holding a corrected manuscript from a childhood-favorite author, examining original artist sketches, or reviewing handwritten correspondence introduces entirely new opportunities for learning and discovery.

As my time spent in Georgetown Library’s special collections progressed — rst, doing research for coursework, and then, becoming a research assistant employed by the department — I was able to better know the collections, support researchers, and encourage professors to bring their classes into special collections. I then had an epiphany: I want to do what my supervisor does. A Master’s in library science became my next logical step. at degree was from the University of Maryland, College Park.

Favorite writers?

e writer Terry Tempest Williams’ re ections on the natural world, spirituality, and most anything are captivating. Not to be that English major, but E.M. Forster and Jane Austen’s scene-setting and social commentary is superb. And then Nora Ephron, for every form of writing she did.

How much Malibu history have you consumed since taking that position?

A great deal. I continue to familiarize myself with local history by going through our nding aids on the Online Archive of California, reading historical accounts of the region in newspapers and biographies and getting familiar with the remarkable historical photographs of Malibu in our collection. Many of these are shared online through Pepperdine Libraries Digital Collections. e more I hear and come across, the more strands and stories and stores I realize are out there.

Are you intrigued by Malibu? is place has a lot of layers.

Very much so! ere are plenty of waves in this place’s history, many of which overlap. It has been such a privilege to start connecting with, and not just learning about, the di erent communities and their various aspects.

I don’t want to list subcultures for fear of excluding any…

Well the surfers rule.

… I won’t argue with who I see on the water every morning on my drive up! But Malibu is such a singular

locus of hobbies, passions, vocations, and perspectives. While debates over development are not new here, neither are the tangible demonstrations of care for neighbors in di cult times.

How extensive is the Malibu Historical Collection at Pepperdine?

We have more than 30 distinct archival collections that comprise the Malibu Historical Collection. ese range from correspondence and albums from individuals to records from community organizations and issues of local newspapers and surf periodicals.

We also have designated Malibu Historical Collection books spanning memoir, sur ng, architecture, food, and history of the Chumash people and the Spanish periods. In addition to examples of Malibu Tiles, we also house reference works on the short but distinguished run of the Malibu Potteries. One of our special collection objects I nd especially endearing is our collection of Frederick Rindge’s original manuscript poems … at Rindge dude was kind of a hippie. An early 19th Century hippie.

… a la the envelope poems of Emily Dickinson, Rindge jotted poems on whatever scrap of paper was at hand as he strode and rode the 13,300 acres of the Malibu Rancho.

Another favorite of mine is a series of photographs of Mary Nogueras Frampton, who some readers might remember for her local coastal conservation e orts, as a teen staring adoringly up at Gregory Peck.

Have you made any signi cant nds so far?

My favorite nds are those that enable me to pick up on threads of work from co-workers and predecessors in this role. As I have processed di erent historic materials, joined di erent events in the community and started having conversations with di erent individuals, interconnectedness is always reinforced. is summer, a Ph.D student from Florida visited the archive to reference issues of Surfer Magazine and Sur ng Magazine for his dissertation. In December, someone visiting the collections pointed out to me a photo of a friend in the community from our historic Malibu Times photo collection. anks to my colleagues in our digitization lab, that friend now has a digital copy of that image. is morning, I shared information with a researcher about Malibu records for a property that his grandparents used to own.

What

do you hope to nd?

We are always interested in acquiring, describing, and preserving collections in order to best share them with students, external researchers and community members. is could look like photographs (we are eternally grateful to donors who label on the reverse with names, dates and locations), any journals or accounts of time spent in Malibu or truly the materials that provide a sense of your Malibu.

Any missing links out there you are yearning to uncover?

Going back to your point about the layers of Malibu, we are keenly interested in understanding more about what drew people to Malibu, what keeps them here and what they put up with because being here is still worth it, particularly from the earlier days of modern Malibu history to present.

Are you actively looking to unearth more Malibu history?

Yes! Whether someone is a fountain of stories or they are interested in making the Malibu Historical Collection the long-term home for their physical materials, we would be interested in hearing from them.

What tactics and techniques have worked for you so far?

Exploring. Everything from checking our online nding aids (what archivists call collection guides) to pulling a box of records or checking out books in our stacks. A lot of cross-referencing with other resources, from Pepperdine colleagues with roots in the greater Malibu community to resources like our fully digitized run of past issues of e Malibu Times and past local papers. is exploration helps provide us with a sense of some of the core issues that matter to the Malibu community.

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-22-941532-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://www. qualityloan.com, using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-22-941532-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

The Court orders that all persons interested in this matter appear before this court at the hearing indicated below to show cause, if any, why the petition for change of name should not be granted. Any person objecting to the name changes described above must file a written objection that includes the reasons for the objection at least two court days before the matter is scheduled to be heard and must appear at the hearing to show cause why the petition should not be granted.

ACCESSORY DWELLING UNIT ORDINANCE

LOCAL COASTAL PRO RAM AMENDMENT NO. 18-002 AND ZONIN TEXT AMENDMENT NO. 18-004 Consider an amendmentand make a recommendation to the City Council to amend the Local Coastal Program (LCP) and Title 17 (Zoning) of the Malibu Municipal Code modifying regulations pertaining to accessory dwelling units, also known as second dwelling units, to bring existing regulations into compliance with State law (Location: Citywide)

On March 7, 2022, prior to the opening of the public hearing on the City’s ADU draft ordinance, the Planning Commission requested staff prepare a report with numerous discussion items and postponed the public hearing. On August 22, 2022, the City Council directed staff 1) in order to protect sensitive coastal resources and public access to the coast, minimize substantive changes in the Local Coastal Program (LCP) for the proposed ordinance which complies with state law; and 2) bring the item back to the Planning Commission without the studies requested.

In accordance with the CEQA, Public Resources Code Section 21080.9, CEQA does not apply to activities and approvals by the City as necessary for the preparation and adoption of an LCP amendment (LCPA). This application is for an LCPA which must be certified by the California Coastal Commission before it takes effect. The ZTA and LCPA are not a project within the meaning of CEQA uidelines Section 15378, because they have no potential to result in physical change to the environment, directly or indirectly. Pursuant to CEQA uidelines Section 15061(b)(3), where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility and is not subject to CEQA. Moreover, in the event that the code amendment and LCPA are interpreted so as to permit construction of an ADU on a particular site, the construction would be exempt from CEQA review in accordance with either State CEQA uidelines Section 15301 (existing facilities), State CEQA uidelines Section 15303 (new construction or conversion of small structures), and/ or State CEQA uidelines Section 15304 (minor alterations to land).

A written staff report will be available at or before the hearing for the project, typically 10 days before the hearing in the Agenda Center: http://www.malibucity.org/agendacenter. Related documents are available for review at City Hall or by contacting the Case Planner.

Waves’ volleyball star Jaylen Jasper earns consecutive Offensive Player of the Week awards

Jasper recorded 19 kills, six digs, four blocks, and an ace in the Waves’ 3-1 victory over NJIT on Jan. 27

By MCKENZIE JACKSON Special to The Malibu Times

Pepperdine Waves men’s volleyball player Jaylen Jasper was deemed the Mountain Paci c Sports Federation’s O ensive Player of the Week for consecutive weeks last month.

Jasper, a graduate student who played at Stanford from 2018-20, won the weekly honor during a stretch of games in which Pepperdine, ranked fth nationally at press time, went 4-1. e 6-foot-7 outside hitter garnered the MPSF o ensive award on Jan. 30 after averaging 4.29 kills, 1.15 digs, 0.43 aces and 0.86 blocks per set in Pepperdine’s wins over NJIT and George Mason.

Jasper won the award for the rst time this season seven days earlier (Jan. 23) after tallying 5.64 kills per set and 62 total kills in the Waves’ victories over Princeton and Lewis and loss to Penn State.

In the 3-0 win over Princeton on Jan. 16, Jasper had 18 kills on a .556 hitting percentage with four digs and a block. Then, the 2022 AVCA All-American honorable mention rang up 21 kills, one ace, and six digs in a 3-1 loss to Penn State on Jan. 20. Jasper had 23 kills in the four-set win over Lewis the next day.

Jasper recorded 19 kills, six digs, four blocks, and an ace in the Waves’ 3-1 victory over NJIT on Jan. 27. e next day, Pepperdine swept George Mason. In that game, Jasper had a season-high .647 hitting percentage with 11 kills on 17 errorless swings. He also had two aces, two solo blocks, and two digs.

Jasper has now won the weekly o ensive honor three times as a Wave. He also won the award three times when he played for Stanford.

Before Jasper claimed the o ensive status from the MPSF, his teammate Bryce Dvorak, a junior setter, claimed the distinction. Dvorak won the status on Jan. 16 after he led the Waves to sweeps over e Master’s and Emmanuel. He propelled Pepperdine to a .493 hitting percentage and 91 kills with only 19 errors on 146 swings of the arms.

Dvorak had 34 assists against e Master’s on Jan. 13 and 27 assists against Emmanuel the next day. In the two matches, Dvorak also recorded four aces, two kills, two digs and a block. He has now won the MPSF O ensive Player of the Week four times in his career.

Pepperdine went 1-1 against UC Santa Barbara to begin the month. e Waves defeated the Gauchos 25-23, 25-21, and 25-21 at Pepperdine’s Firestone Fieldhouse on Feb. 1, but were felled by them two days later in Santa Barbara 25-21, 21-25, 25-16, 11-25, 12-15.

Jasper had 17 kills, four blocks, and six digs, and Dvorak dished out 35 assists to go along with seven digs and two blocks in the Waves’ victory. Senior out -

side hitter Akin Akinwumi had nine kills and four blocks and redshirt sophomore outside hitter Joe Deluzio had eight kills and three digs for Pepperdine.

Jasper had 26 kills and 10 digs in the loss to UC Santa Barbara, while Dvorak tallied 54 assists and two aces. Junior

libero Trey Coe had 14 kills; Deluzio had 10 kills, seven digs, and three blocks; and Jacob Steele had 11 kills and three digs. Pepperdine had an 8-2 recorded heading into their game against UC Irvine on Wednesday. e Waves face UC Irvine again on Friday in Irvine.

Our Lady of Malibu Bulldogs boys basketball team is progressing

Despite two losses, coach encourages ‘individual wins’ for team of fth- to eighth- graders

By MCKENZIE JACKSON Special to The Malibu Times

Dribble by dribble, shot by shot, the Our Lady of Malibu Bulldogs basketball team is improving this season.

Daryl Adams, the Catholic school team’s coach, said the 15-member squad of boys ages 10 to 13 are practicing hard daily despite losing their rst two games.

“Every week, we have scored more points than before,” he said. “We are scoring more

points and putting together a team concept — passing the ball and playing with each other. at is the beauty of the game. You nd pleasure in the small wins within that game. at is what matters.”

e Bulldogs, many of whom are playing an organized sport for the rst time, began their season with a 50-8 loss to Saint Mel on Jan. 23. e squad struggled in the rst half, but improved their play after halftime.

Our Lady of Malibu was also downed 4110 on Feb. 1 by an opponent. e team played against St. Jude e Apostle School of Westlake Village on Monday and has ve more games in their eight-week season.

Adams, also the physical education teacher at Our Lady of Malibu, stated that most of the teams the Bulldogs play against have rosters dominated by seventh- and eighth-graders. e coach explained that the Bulldogs’ players are striving to improve.

“ e kids want to have those individual wins,” Adams explained. “For example, if one kid didn’t score last week, they will want to score in the next game. So, I encourage them to do that. Take shots. Don’t be afraid to miss or afraid to mess up. Enjoy the moment.”

The team is composed of fifth- to eighth-graders. e players include Freddie Felten, Alex Dermenjian, Jake Wells, Logan Burke, Atticus Sparks, Declan Vaughn, Bertie Merkell, Fin Wells, Jaxson Nenejian, Christopher Dermenjian, Charlie Nenejlan, Lars Stapeburg, London Hettich, Bobby Anderson, and Caghton Hale.

Adams noted that Our Lady of Malibu hasn’t had a basketball team in several years, but he hopes Malibuites will support the Bulldogs. Athletics, he said, builds character.

“Sports helps improve things you don’t really think about: time management, team building, working together,” Adams stated. “All those things are what I am looking forward to.”
