Malibu’s creative spirit was on full display Sunday, May 18, as more than 200 guests gathered at Malibu City Hall to celebrate the highly anticipated opening of “Sue
Wong: Glamour & Grace.” The retrospective exhibition, presented by the Malibu Arts Commission, honors the iconic fashion designer and longtime Malibu resident, Sue Wong. The opening was more than just an art show — it was a community celebration of resilience,
beauty, and timeless style.
“This exhibit is an homage to one of fashion’s most influential voices,” said Barry Haldeman, chair of the Malibu Arts Commission. “Sue Wong’s career reflects the kind of creative excellence that defines Malibu. It was an honor to bring
this event to life and share it with the community.”
Originally envisioned by former Arts Commissioner Julia Holland, the exhibition marks a significant milestone for Malibu’s cultural resurgence after years of recovery
Gov. Gavin Newsom’s “all-handson-deck” initiative to fast-track the reopening of Pacific Coast Highway could have Malibu’s lifeline reopened in just days. Following extensive damage caused by the Palisades Fire and subsequent mudslides, the state is working urgently to reopen the highway to public travel by the end of May — well ahead of initial projections. The move comes at a critical time for struggling businesses, as the summer season nears and local owners brace for their most vital months of the year.
“Reopening PCH is a top priority, and we are going all-in to get this done,” Newsom stated. The vital corridor for residents, businesses,
commuters, and tourists, connects Los Angeles to Pacific Palisades, Malibu, and points north up the California coast. Currently, public access remains restricted, limited only to residents of the burn zone, essential businesses, and authorized emergency repair crews. To meet the accelerated timeline, the Governor’s Office of Emergency Services, in coordination with Caltrans and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, has deployed a surge in manpower and equipment. More than 100 USACE crews are operating 24/7 to clear debris, demolish unsafe structures, and prepare the roadway for safe use. According to officials, crews are removing approximately 1,284 truckloads of debris

Summer’s almost here, and the time is almost right for opening up the street. May 31 approaches and it’s all ahead full to clear PCH of as much debris and trucks as possible before the world comes flooding in for summer.
Those who drive PCH say they are seeing lots of cleared lots, and it’s looking better, but you can hardly see the clearings for all the heavy equipment in the way.
going on in our lives.”
When this is all cleared and rebuilt, it would be very interesting to see an itemized expense report for what this all cost, from the Broad Fire through the Franklin Fire to Palisades.
So many possible numbers: Who paid and how much they paid to fill the parking lot at Zuma with equipment and machines from one end to the other.
Total overtime for out-of-county firefighters between the Franklin Fire and the Palisades Fire.
It’s one of those colossal bureaucratic quagmire-like conundrums that infuriates Malibuites because it significantly impedes fire victims’ efforts to rebuild their destroyed homes and structures.
When one checks in with Palisades Fire victims from Carbon Mesa and Carbon Canyon, one finds they have been left high and dry. Literally. Those residents desperately need water line capacity and storage improvements to comply with Los Angeles County Fire Department standards, which is a condition precedent to obtaining a certificate of occupancy. In 2009, the County Fire Department announced it would
no longer permit people to expand or replace a home that is damaged or destroyed by fire if there is not an adequate water supply to protect the property.
Los Angeles County Department of Public Works District 29 was established in 1969. Its current water lines, which were merged from approximately 20 separate neighborhood systems, were built many decades ago and are in desperate need of repair. The District supplies water for Malibu and unincorporated areas of Topanga.
“Upgrading the two-inch water lines in the high canyons of Carbon Mesa is absolutely essential — it needs to be addressed with the highest priority because it directly impacts residents’ decisions regarding what
The aerial view is the go, so we asked Ken Adelman of CaliforniaCoastline.org (Sorry, Babs) if he was going to do a flyby and update his website. The last batch of photos were taken Feb. 19 and very clearly, and sadly, and expensively show all the burn outs along PCH and up in the hills — as photographed from about 500-800 feet high and 500-1,000 feet offshore. But a lot has been moved since February and it would be good to look at that stretch now and see what has been cleared.
Unfortunately, Adelman said a flyby was “Unlikely. Too much else

Media coverage of Trump and protests
Dear Editor,
Has Trump so broken us down with his relentless and ongoing shredding of the Constitution that the media no longer tells this story?
On Sunday, in a “Meet the Press” interview, Trump said, “I don’t know” when asked if he needs to uphold the Constitution. Why are his blatantly anti-Constitutional comments not the banner headline?
When have we ever had a president who so clearly disdains the Constitution and the rule of law?
Our current president has said he doesn’t know if he needs to allow immigrants due process, is continuing to deport both immigrants and US citizens with NO due process, has imposed tariffs without the oversight of Congress, has invoked the Alien Enemies Act
TFrom the publisher HAYLEY MATTSON
“Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same.”
— Ronald Reagan
his Memorial Day weekend, we take time to honor the courageous men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our nation. As we gather with loved ones and welcome the unofficial start of summer, let us also pause to remember the true meaning of this solemn day. In observance of the holiday, our office will be closed on Monday. Heading into the long weekend, we encourage everyone
even though we are not at war, has violated Congress’s appropriation of funding by slashing programs and agencies, and is selling cryptocurrency in direct violation of the emoluments clause. All of these actions are illegal and unconstitutional. The media should be leading with this story.
The media is not only dancing around Trump’s trampling on the Constitution and our rights, but failing to report on the size and number of protests where the American people are calling this out. We have been protesting here in Malibu as well. We are engaging in peaceful protest, staying away from PCH, and encouraging protesters to support the local businesses before and after each rally.
We are expressing our frustration, anger, and fear as Trump, with help from Congress, takes a wrecking ball to Social Security and Medicaid, gives our private information to Musk/DOGE, raises prices through tariffs. And most importantly, that this President is not honoring his oath to “preserve, protect, and defend” the Constitution.
Republican Spending Plan
Here is what we need to know about Trump’s “Big Beautiful” spending bill. It will and give more money to ICE and defense and handing out tax cuts for richest among us. And what will be slashed to pay for these tax cuts and increased funding? Clean en-
ergy programs, education, Medicaid, and SNAP.
Let’s be clear about this, even though Trump repeatedly promised in his campaign that he would not touch Medicaid, this bill would (as calculated by the Congressional Budget Office, the agency that works for Congress to estimate the impact of proposed legislation):
• Cut $715 billion from Medicaid.
• Take away health coverage from 8 million Americans. To pay for billionaire tax cuts that will cost $5 trillion.
A resounding No to the Big Beautiful Bill.
From tragedy to transformation: Our Emily Shane Foundation’s Mission of Hope
IWhat makes our program unique is its holistic approach. Beyond academics, students learn essential organizational skills while building meaningful relationships with their mentors. In keeping with Emily’s generous spirit, our foundation’s “Pass It Forward” motto ensures that each student performs good deeds for others as part of their commitment to the program, cultivating kindness alongside academic achievement.
The Driving Change division will develop educational programs for schools, partner with local organizations, and create resources empowering individuals to make safer choices on our roads. The urgency couldn’t be clearer — despite our small population, Malibu ranks among the top 25 cities in the United States for per capita road fatalities.
n the heart of Malibu, where breathtaking ocean views meet the harsh reality of PCH’s dangers, my wife Ellen and I have transformed our unimaginable loss into what I hope is a powerful force for good. Our Emily Shane Foundation, born from the tragic murder of our 13-year-old daughter on Pacific Coast Highway in 2010, has become not just a cornerstone of our community but a lifeline for struggling students across Los Angeles and Ventura counties.
Though rooted in Malibu, our foundation’s impact reaches far beyond our coastal enclave. The SEA Program now serves students at multiple sites, with special attention given to our local Malibu students who face the same academic challenges as their peers throughout the region.
“Every single child needs to hear that someone believes in them,” says Ellen, whose unwavering dedication has earned recognition, including California Nonprofit of the Year. “This work is so close to my heart, and each middle schooler’s improvement is the greatest reward.”
The SEA Program: Where Struggling Students Find Their Wings
Our SEA Program identifies middle schoolers at risk of academic failure and pairs them with dedicated mentor-tutors who provide more than just academic support – they offer the encouragement and personalized attention these young people desperately need to thrive.
The results are remarkable. At Clinton Middle School in South LA, students who once universally needed additional support now thrive independently. At Pico Rivera sites, the percentage of students who enjoy attending school skyrocketed from just 13% to 60%. Behind these statistics are real young lives transformed at a critical developmental stage.
Driving Change: Turning Grief into Action
This year marks a pivotal expansion with the launch of our Driving Change division. Born from my relentless advocacy for safer roads, particularly along the deadly stretch of PCH where Emily was killed, this initiative focuses on education and prevention to ensure no other family endures such devastation.
We’re not just mentoring struggling students; we’re launching our new division dedicated to ensuring no more families experience the devastating loss of a loved one to road violence. My documentary “21 Miles in Malibu” has already sparked crucial safety improvements on PCH, with more changes underway.
Your Community Needs You: Wings Over Malibu 2025
We invite you to our 10th Annual Spring Gala Fundraiser, “Wings Over Malibu 2025,” on May 29 at Cafe Habana in the Malibu Lumber Yard from 6:30-9:30 p.m.. This celebration will feature live entertainment, auctions, gourmet food, and fine wines — all supporting our foundation’s expanded mission. Your presence and support are more critical than ever as we extend our reach in education and road safety advocacy. By standing with our family, you become part of Emily’s enduring legacy that continues to touch countless lives throughout our community and beyond.
A Call to Action
Our Emily Shane Foundation
reflects the extraordinary resilience of our Malibu community. From being recognized as California Nonprofit of the Year to receiving a Lifetime Achievement Award for Community Service, our dedication has earned widespread recognition. However, the accurate measure of our impact lies in the transformed lives of students and families throughout the region. Ellen and I have learned how deep love and unwavering commitment can create ripples of positive change. Our work reminds us that even in our darkest moments, we can choose light — and through that choice, create a lasting legacy that honors those we’ve lost.
This is your opportunity to be part of that legacy. Whether attending our upcoming gala on May 29, bidding in the silent auction, or contributing to the foundation, your support ensures that Emily’s spirit continues to touch lives throughout our community. Together, we can build a safer, more compassionate Malibu for generations to come.

LASD reports
electrocution death on Point Dume
An investigation is concluding into a fatal electrocution in Malibu over the weekend. The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department and emergency workers responded to a call May 17 around 1 p.m. on Cliffside Drive near Grasswood Avenue where a tree trimming operation was underway. LASD says it appeared a worker accidentally brought down a power line. The coroner’s office reports 46-yearold Chong Honglei, who was on the ground at the time, came into contact with the live wire and was electrocuted.
Emergency responders pronounced him dead at the scene at 1:43 p.m. The coroner’s office reported the fatality happened at the deceased’s residence. No arrests have been made. There were no other reported injuries. A small brush fire sparked by the downed power line was quickly extinguished.
City of Malibu Small Business Micro Grant Deadline is May 31
The City of Malibu announced the launch of its Small Business Micro Grant Stabilization Program, offering direct financial relief to small businesses impacted by recent wildfires, severe storms, and the extended Pacific Coast Highway (PCH) closures.
The grant program, funded through the City’s General Fund Grant Program framework, aims to stabilize and retain jobs in Malibu by providing much-needed capital to qualifying businesses. Grants ranging from $5,000 to $20,000 are available to help cover essential expenses and jumpstart recovery efforts.
Who’s eligible?
To qualify, applicants must operate a brick-and-mortar or home-based business within Malibu city limits, hold a valid County of Los Angeles business license issued on or before Dec. 1, 2024, and demonstrate hardship due to the natural disasters or road closures. Eligible businesses must also be independently owned, provide a public benefit, and be in good standing with all
city and regulatory codes.
Approved use of funds
Grant funds may be used for a variety of business-critical needs, including rent or lease payments, payroll, inventory or equipment replacement, utilities, insurance, and marketing efforts to re-establish operations. However, the funds cannot be used for personal debt repayment or non-business expenses.
Application Timeline and Requirements
Application Period: May 1-31
Review and Awards: June
Applicants must submit a completed application form, proof of licensing, documentation of hardship, a 500-word narrative on financial impact and recovery, and other required forms such as a current lease agreement and IRS W-9.
The city will evaluate applications based on financial hardship, overall disaster impact, recovery viability, and completeness of documentation. A proof-offunding report will also be required from grantees as part of the agreement.
Newer businesses without traditional financial records may still qualify by providing alternative documentation like business bank statements, Point of Sale (POS) reports, payroll records, or signed statements detailing disruptions.
Business owners are encouraged to review the full application guidelines and prepare supporting materials as early as possible.
For more information and to apply, visit the City of Malibu’s official website at maliburebuilds. org/resources/business-grant-application or contact the Economic Development Office at economicdevelopment@malibucity.org.
Heal the Bay assesses water safety in wake of the Palisades Fire
In the aftermath of the devastating Paliasdes Fire, environmental nonprofit Heal the Bay has raised concerns over potentially harmful pollutants and debris washing into Santa Monica Bay. On May 14, the group released a report titled “Wildfire Aftermath: Is Our Water Safe?” addressing the current state of water quality and the challenges in assessing public health risks.
As wildfires swept through the region earlier this year, charred debris and chemical-laden runoff have increasingly flowed into coastal waters. Heal the Bay, in collaboration with the Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board, has been closely monitoring water quality data to evaluate the potential risks to swimmers, surfers, and marine life.
Key Findings:
While recent testing from January to March, including poststorm events, did not reveal any immediate or lethal health threats, Heal the Bay emphasized a major gap in available data. All water samples were tested for total arsenic — an umbrella measure that includes both organic and inorganic arsenic. However, only inorganic arsenic is consid-
NEWS BRIEFS
ered highly toxic and a true threat to human health.
The data showed total arsenic levels exceeding the region’s median background concentration of 1.490 µg/L, possibly due to runoff from burn areas. But without specific readings for inorganic arsenic, Heal the Bay says it’s difficult to determine the real risk.
How Safe is the Water?
Using the EPA’s Risk-Screening Level Calculator, Heal the Bay assessed potential health impacts from a standard exposure scenario — up to four hours of water contact per day, 180 days a year, across all age groups includingchildren and infants.
Based on current data, the risk appears low. Still, with active debris removal occurring along Pacific Coast Highway and uncertainty around inorganic arsenic levels, Heal the Bay issued cautionary guidance: Avoid swimming or surfing between Carbon Beach and Topanga Creek, especially within 250 yards of debris removal areas.
• Stay out of the ocean for 72 hours after any rainfall.
• Watch for visible debris in the water.
“Risk tolerance is a personal decision,” the report notes. “Our job is to provide clear, science-based data so the public can make informed choices.”
What’s Next?
Heal the Bay is conducting additional testing to specifically measure inorganic arsenic levels and is working with the Southern California Coastal Water Research Project to develop new fire-related water quality guidelines.
“As climate-related disasters become more frequent, we need new standards to better assess public safety,” the report concludes.
For now, Heal the Bay urges continued caution and vigilance from beachgoers and pledges to release updates as new data becomes available.
For the full report and future updates, visit healthebay.org City of Malibu urges residents to complete mandatory brush clearance by June 1
With wildfire season approaching, the City of Malibu’s Public Safety Department is reminding homeowners that June 1 is the deadline for mandatory annual brush clearance. As the entire city lies within a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone, this crucial requirement helps protect homes, lives, and neighborhoods from the growing threat of wildfires.
“Brush clearance isn’t just a requirement, it’s a vital way to protect your home and our community,” said Mayor Marianne Riggins. “We’ve seen what wildfires can do. Let’s act now.”
Brush clearance efforts include removing dead vegetation, trimming trees, and clearing flammable materials within at least 100 feet of all structures. Starting
June 1, L.A. County Fire Department crews will begin inspecting properties across Malibu and the Santa Monica Mountains. Properties found in noncompliance may face forced clearance by a contractor, administrative fines, or even a lien on the property.
To support residents, the city offers free 30- to 45-minute Home Wildfire Assessments, conducted by Fire Safety Liaisons. These assessments provide tailored, low-cost recommendations to help reduce wildfire risk. Since 2019, over 525 assessments have been completed. Experts emphasize that proper brush clearance and home hardening remain among the most effective strategies to prevent fire-related damage.

SMMUSD’s music education program receives national recognition
The Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District (SMMUSD) has once again been recognized for its exceptional commitment to music education, earning the prestigious “Best Communities for Music Education” designation from the NAMM (National Association of Music Merchants) Foundation for 2025. This marks an incredible 23 consecutive years that SMMUSD has received this honor — more than any other district in California.
SMMUSD is one of just seven districts in Los Angeles County — and among more than 1,000 nationwide — to receive the 2025 designation. The award is given to school districts that demonstrate outstanding achievement in efforts to provide music access and education to all students.
“This award recognizes the outstanding efforts by teachers, administrators, parents, students, and community leaders who work together to ensure access to music learning for all students as part of the school curriculum,” said Superintendent Dr. Antonio Shelton. “We would not have received this recognition without the hard work and dedication

following wildfires and other local challenges. “We want to lift the spirits of our community through positive, artistic events,” said Haldeman. “This exhibit reminds everyone that Malibu remains a vibrant, artistic hub — and that we, like Sue Wong, are rising from the ashes.”
The exhibit showcases approximately 60 of Wong’s signature haute couture gowns, dressed on mannequins throughout the Malibu City Gallery and lobby. These breathtaking designs, many considered museum-quality pieces, are revered for their meticulous detail, including hand embroidery, beadwork, and embellishments. Each gown tells a story, drawing inspiration from romantic eras such as 1920s Paris, Weimar Berlin, 1930s Shanghai, and the glitz of Hollywood’s Golden Age. Wong’s journey is as compelling as her creations. Born in China during the Maoist era, she fled to the United States with her mother at the age of 5. Despite family objections, she pursued fashion with determination and emerged as a groundbreaking designer — credited as the first American to bring haute couture to the masses. Her gowns have graced red carpets at
the Oscars, Golden Globes, and Emmys, worn by the likes of Taylor Swift, Anne Hathaway, Jane Seymour, and Tyra Banks.
At the opening event, guests were treated to a red carpet arrival, a step-and-repeat photo backdrop, and a live model showcase of six of Wong’s most iconic gowns. Guests dressed for the occasion, many donning period-inspired attire that mirrored the era-spanning glamour of Wong’s work.
Among the distinguished guests were Abbot Shi Yan Fan, spiritual leader and Abbot of the Shaolin Temple Los Angeles; The Rev. Patrick McCollum, international global peacemaker; Prince Stash Klossowski de Rola, aristocrat, actor, musician, and author; Larry Namer, co-founder of E! Entertainment; Whitley Strieber, celebrated author; Sandro Monetti, BBC journalist; Jacqueline Murphy, actress (“The Admired”); Peter Kwong, actor and martial artist; Jeremy Miller, actor (“Growing Pains”); Naomi Grossman, Emmy-nominated actress (“American Horror Story”); Erin Murphy, actress (“Bewitched”); Kate Linder, actress (“The Young and the Restless”); Angelica Bridges, actress (“Baywatch”)and Malibu City Councilmember Haylynn Conrad, among others.
The highlight of the afternoon was an intimate
Q&A session in the City Hall Auditorium, moderated by actor and artist Leigh McCloskey, a neighbor and friend of Wong’s. Every seat in the auditorium was filled, with attendees traveling from across the country to take part. Wong captivated the crowd with her story of perseverance — sharing how she built a fashion empire, lost it all, and rose again to reclaim her legacy. “Her story is not just about fashion,” said Haldeman. “It’s about resilience, transformation, and the power of artistic vision.”
The exhibit is open to the public during City Hall business hours through June 27. Visitors are reminded that the gowns are delicate, one-of-a-kind pieces. In addition to the dresses, the gallery walls are lined with dramatic posters and editorial spreads that chronicle Wong’s decades-long influence on fashion and culture.
Wong, who has quietly maintained a residence above Zuma Beach for over 40 years, is deeply tied to the Malibu community. “Many people didn’t know she’s a Malibuite,” said Haldeman. “She’s incredibly private, but her presence here and her willingness to share her life’s work with us means a great deal.”
The impact of the exhibition extends beyond the gallery walls. With many of Wong’s guests and fans
erated foot traffic for local restaurants and businesses.
“These kinds of events are vital,” said Haldeman. “They support our local economy, uplift the community, and attract cultural tourism that helps put Malibu back on the map — not just as a beautiful place, but as a destination for the arts.”
The Sue Wong exhibition also marks the first major event under Haldeman’s leadership as chair of the Malibu Arts Commission. “It’s exciting to be part of something that both honors an artist and energizes a community,” he said.“We’re committed to continuing this momentum.”
Following “Sue Wong: Glamour & Grace,” the Malibu Arts Commission is preparing to debut a photography exhibition focused on Malibu’s iconic surf culture. Looking ahead, Haldeman hinted at possible future shows inspired by Malibu’s Hollywood ties.
“Art is about storytelling,” he added. “And Malibu has so many stories to tell — from the waves to the red carpet. We’re just getting started.”
The “Sue Wong: Glamour & Grace” exhibition is open through June 27, Monday–Thursday, 7:30 a.m.–5:30 p.m. andFridays 7:30 a.m.–4:30 p.m. at Malibu City Hall. For more information, visit MalibuArtsCommis-

to rebuild or whether to rebuild at all,” said Abe Roy, Malibu City Council’s recently appointed volunteer liaison, who is tasked with assisting fire victims with their building permit applications and with facilitating clear communication between homeowners and the city’s rebuilding staff and contractors.
“If the water lines are not expanded, despite a number of creative options needed are being explored, there are some homes that might never have the requisite water flow to meet County Fire Department standards,” Roy emphasized.
On April 27, The Malibu Times published an article concerning a city-sponsored rebuild meeting for Carbon Canyon, Carbon Mesa, and Carbon Beach Terrace neighborhoods. At the meeting, residents expressed extreme frustrations regarding a decades-long delay by District 29 regarding constructing critically needed water line and storage capacity infrastructure improvements so that victims of the 1993 Old Topanga Fire, as well as of the Palisades Fire, can rebuild their homes. A very frustrated but polite and professional Malibuite Lynn Dornhelm, a 1993 fire victim who owns a Carbon Mesa property and who is a Malibu native, testified at the city’s meeting. “We have never been able to rebuild because of the waterline deficiencies,” Dornhelm told the panel of professionals from the LACFD, the city, and its contracted civil engineers, and other professionals, and Army Corps of Engineers. She implored the city to take action immediately.
Clearly, District 29 and the city have known of the need to improve the water lines and to upgrade water storage capacity for decades. Some of the facilities in the district’s system were built in the 1940s and 1950s, according to district records. Many professionals working on the project have generated reports noting that the task of delivering water to the district’s customers is affected by the unique topography in the area, including landslides, bluffs, steep slopes and they note the area’s potential for earthquakes and the coastline’s geographical features.
The long, tortured history of the Malibu District 29 water system projects
The Malibu Times caught up with Paul Grisanti, who is a former City of Malibu Public Works commissioner, City Councilman and mayor as well as with Don Schmitz, a local design-build and permit expediter, concerning a citizen task force that both men served on
beginning in 2011. The task force, which was created at the City of Malibu’s request, aimed to identify all the priority capital deficiencies in District 29, to develop a master plan and to address funding options, according to Grisanti. “The goal was to send the County Depart ment of Public Works a draft master plan with moving forward recommendations, which we did in 2013,” he explained. “Then, the department was supposed to write an environmental impact report, and present it to the City of Malibu for approval.”
noting that meant that Malibu’s aged water system infrastructure continued to fail in many areas due to leaky, broken pipes and inadequate storage.
which addresses impacts to streams, animal habitats, and sensitive vegetation communities, also proposes mitigation efforts to address those impacts and it addresses protocols to monitor the project’s effect on those areas and their animals, trees, flora, and fauna. Released in April 2021, the revised EIR proposed to make improvements of Carbon Mesa’s reservoir as well as water lines and storage tanks. The EIR also details improvements throughout District 29’s service area. The LVHF has stated that it supports the revised EIR, noting that it prioritizes the neediest, oldest infrastructure with the highest maintenance needs. The Malibu Coalition for Slow Growth and the Malibu Monarch Project concur with the LVHF and urge District 29 to not add new projects to the plan.
However, Grisanti said, “former Los Angeles County Supervisor Sheila Kuehl put the report in her drawer and ignored it.”
Meanwhile, back at Carbon Mesa and Carbon Canyon, residents were bootstrapped, unable to rebuild their homes, Grisanti lamented. “In 2010, the LACFD changed the water fire flow standards, making them more strict and mandated that there be a demonstrated ability for the flow to be a minimum of 1,250 gallons per minute via gravity for two hours for a three-bedroom home, which amounts to requiring storage tanks containing 150,000 gallons of water,” he said, explaining that the pipes feeding the hydrants need to have an 8- to 10-inch diameter to flow that much water, and older Malibu neighborhoods have water mains that are between 2 to 6 inches in diameter.
After the task force’s proposed multimillion-dollar upgrade was unveiled in the summer of 2013, the project lingered in abeyance for years, Grisanti bemoaned,
Grisanti explained that in 2017, District 29’s water system upgrade stalled as two community groups differed concerning the scope of the project during public input meetings on District 29’s Environmental Impact Report, a study that is mandated by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines section 15809. Such a report must identify the project with specificity, describe the need for and objectives of the project, and identify probable environmental effects of the project. The EIR must be accepted by the City of Malibu and the County Board of Supervisors prior to approval of the district’s project.
On one side of the opposing groups was Grisanti, who stated he was advocating for Malibu. He urged passage of the plan and its proposed water line infrastructure improvements. On the other side was the Las Virgenes Homeowners Federation, Inc., which has been representing homeowners’ interests for 57 years and aims to serve as a guardian of the Santa Monica Mountains. The LVHF viewed the district’s water system improvements as a disguised plan to push water service into unserved areas to further development. Responding to the LVHF’s concerns, Kuehl became worried and ultimately, District 29 withdrew the plan and set out to develop a downsized EIR.
A revised final environmental impact report,
Total business loss to all of Malibu’s businesses.
What the property tax revenue loss would be if the state declares eminent domain.
And a couple hundred other numbers, but here’s a good one. At the Chevron station, a truck driver was parked as his truck filled up with diesel. When asked if each truckload cost $700, he said “That sounds about right,” but then he volunteered, perhaps incorrectly, “The tipping fee for each load at the landfill is $1,000.”
Is that right? Every truckload costs $1,700 and multiply that by 1,400 truckloads a day equals $2.38 million?
So most of those numbers are a mystery, but these below are the numbers we do know charting the evolution of the reclamation and reconstruction of the Malibu.
Some say it would be cool to have a parade to celebrate the opening of PCH on May 31 and say thank you to the first responders and the National Guard and the USACE and the hundreds of people involved in fighting the fires and cleaning up after.
And speaking of the United States Army Corps of Engineers — who have invested tsunamis of diesel and sweat equity in all of this — we have this:
Quote from EFO-Palisades Commander Col. Jeffrey Palazzini:
“With 58% of the parcels we’ve been assigned attaining final sign off from the county, the fire debris removal mission continues to make significant, ahead-of-schedule progress. We appreciate the support we’ve received from our local, state, federal, and contractor partners, and will continue to work hard to finish our debris removal mission as quickly and safely as possible.”
And from Public Affairs Officer Justin Campbell:
Any numbers or quotes about the Palisades Fire debris clearance?
As of May 19, EFO-Palisades has received 4,166 rights of entry applications from the county, cleared debris at 3,107 properties, and completed and submitted final sign off to the county for 2,404
Priority one in the new plan is Carbon Mesa. The district is currently in the design phase of the project and it plans to replace pipelines from 3873 Carbon Canyon Road to 22576 Carbon Mesa Road, which amounts to replacing approximately 6,900 feet of aging and undersized 1.5-, 2-, and 4-inch waterlines with 8- and 12-inch diameter steel pipe. The scope of work also includes pump station upgrades and projects and improvements related to water quality, system reliability, and fire flow capacity, according to the district’s website. The total project budget is $8.6 million, including $5.8 million in construction costs.
The district states that the project cannot commence until 2027 and it is scheduled to advertise for construction bids in summer 2026.
Affected fire victims deem that timeline entirely unacceptable, noting that they want to begin rebuilding so they move back into their homes and get on with their lives. They seek either expedition of the project or interim alternatives that would provide the requisite water flow to fight wildfires so that the fire department approves their projects, they can commence rebuilding and hopefully move into their new residences.
A possible interim water source option for rebuilding homeowners
“There are 20,000-gallon tanks that can be shared across a few homes that may not be too cost prohibitive.” Roy suggested. Affected residents will most likely ask Roy to assist in conversing with the city’s planning officials to determine what solutions make the most sense. They vociferously maintain that it is senseless to make them wait for a long time to begin rebuilding their homes and their lives.
parcels. Put another way, we have cleared debris from nearly 75% of the parcels we received rights of entry to and turned about 58% of those back over to the county.
To date, we have removed, sorted and recycled when appropriate, approximately 920,000 tons of fire debris, concrete, and metal.
I asked a trucker if the charge is $700 per truckload and he said that sounded about right, but then he said the tipping fee at Calabasas is $1,000 per truckload(!!!??) Is that possible? I’m trying to verify that.
You would have to ask the landfills about this.
Will there be any changes to strategy after PCH opens?
We expect minimal impact to our operations, but we do ask the public to understand that even though PCH will open soon, the debris removal mission continues and PCH will continue to be used as a major thoroughfare for those efforts.
Is there a number for how many beachside lots haven’t been cleared yet?
By the end of this week, EFO-Palisades expects to have cleared 98% of the ROEs received to date.
And are there still properties in Malibu who haven’t opted in or opted out?
There are properties that have not made an election to opt in or opt out of USACE’s debris removal program, and the City of Malibu is working to address those parcels.
Most properties cleared in a day?
Using the timeframe of Monday, May 12, to Sunday, May 18, for the entire EFO-Palisades:
Most properties in a day: 50, May 16
Most truckloads in a day: 1,104, May 15
Total weight moved?: Approximately 79,878 pounds
And is every truckload weighed? Where? At the source or at the landfill?
Every truck is weighed upon entering either an approved landfill or a Temporary Debris Reduction and Storage (TDSR) site.
Are they still crushing concrete and steel up Temescal?
Yes, operations at the Temescal TDSR site continues. Using dedicated TDSRs reduces haul times, fuel consumption and emissions, speeds up cleanup and recovery, and decreases traffic congestion and wear and tear on roads.
Debris by the Numbers: Part 10
0: According to Doug Carroll, there have been 0 burn-out property or home sales from May 1-19. So that means it’s still the two on La Costa, one on Carbon Beach, the cut-rate property next to Crawdad (RIP 1971-2025) and one on Rambla Pacifico.

Once cleared, the roadway is expected to reopen with only one lane in each direction, ensuring controlled but open public access. While the road will not be fully restored immediately, this limited reopening marks a significant step toward normalcy for residents and businesses that have been effectively cut off for weeks.
Sgt. Christopher Soderlund, the Malibu liaison for the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, confirmed that although a precise reopening date is still unknown, agencies are working toward an imminent public reopening. “It’s still day to day,” he said, noting that the final authority to reopen the highway lies with Caltrans and the Governor’s Office, based on safety assessments.
Soderlund emphasized that the reopening won’t signify the end of cleanup or enforcement. “There will still be heavy equipment, ongoing cleanup, and construction crews in the area,” he stated. “The configuration of

Law enforcement is already preparing for increased traffic with the return of regular public travel on PCH. The LASD will maintain patrols in its jurisdiction, which spans from Coastline Drive in the south to the Ventura County line. The California Highway Patrol will also continue its presence, though it is unclear if extra staffing will remain in place after reopening.
With traffic safety front of mind, Sgt. Soderlund warned that reckless driving, could result in serious consequences. “If you’re caught committing violations in construction areas, deputies have the discretion to issue double-fine citations,” he said.
Soderlund also acknowledged access passes previously issued to residents and essential personnel have been revoked in some cases due to reckless driving. “We’ve pulled passes for people who were speeding, driving carelessly, or behaving in ways that put others at risk,” he said. Those passes will become obsolete, however, after the road reopens.

“Every year, for 23 consecutive years, our music teachers have stepped up and continued to deliver an outstanding music education for students!” said Whaley. “SMMUSD has received this award consecutively longer than any school district in California, and that is due to the commitment and hard work of all our educational partners — but especially our fantastic music teachers!”

Studies reveal that musically trained students are more likely to graduate high school, attend college, and show improved neural processing well into adulthood.

checkpoints currently in place at both ends of the recovery zone will be removed.
Soderlund also noted that the city is preparing for Memorial Day weekend, which traditionally marks the start of Malibu’s beach season. The LASD’s beach team will be activated, bringing additional patrols, motorcycle units, all-terrain vehicles (ATVs), and aerial surveillance via helicopter to manage crowds and maintain order. “The size of the beach team varies, but we’ll have a strong presence this weekend,” he said.
Barbara Bruderlin, CEO of the PaliBu Chamber of Commerce reminded of the importance of reopening the highway for the survival of Malibu businesses.
“I’m not sure that everyone is aware of the dire conditions in the Malibu business community. They’ve been hanging on,” Bruderlin said. “It’s going on six months now (due to the Franklin Fire), plus last summer. PCH was closed down so they’ve had a really bad year. They lost their Christmas income, and since then there’s some businesses who haven’t been able to pay their rent at all for six months. Some landlords are starting to give three-day notices.

Newsom unveils push for local bans on homeless encampments, releases billions in funding
Gov. Gavin Newsom announced a new initiative Tuesday, urging every city and county in the state to adopt local laws banning homeless encampments on public property. The announcement includes a model ordinance created by the state, as well as the release of $3.3 billion in funding intended to support shelter, housing, and
Dear President Trump,
“There’s a lot of heartbreak happening right now. Homeowners should be aware that the future of their town is going to depend on their support of local business so that they’ll have the town that they knew when they finish rebuilding, it’ll be like it was and you won’t have all the businesses gone with a lot of empty centers, which is
behavioral health services.
The move comes amid ongoing criticism that the state’s approach to homelessness has not delivered measurable results, despite record-level spending over the past several years. Since 2019, California has spent an estimated $24 billion to combat homelessness. During that same period, the homeless population has increased by approximately 30,000 people, according to data from the Hoover Institution.
A recent state audit found California failed to consistently track how funds were spent or whether programs were effective, raising questions about accountability and coordination at both state and local levels. The audit also pointed to problems in cities like San Jose and San Diego, where officials reportedly lacked spending plans and failed to collect outcome data. In response, the California Interagency Council on Homelessness acknowledged the shortcomings, citing limited
what it is looking like now.”
Anticipating the PCH reopening, Bruderlin added, “The stores, restaurants, the Adamson House, adventure and sports shops, craft shops and galleries — all are eagerly awaiting their usual customers. Come to Malibu and make the rounds — the weather is gorgeous and the surf’s up!”
resources and a one-time legislative mandate for performance review.
Against this backdrop, Newsom is encouraging local governments to take more decisive action. The proposed ordinance bans encampments that block public passage or persist in one place over time. It also requires local jurisdictions to give at least 48 hours’ notice before clearing encampments and to offer shelter or services when available. Cities and counties would be allowed to set their own penalties for violations, which could range from citations to arrests, though Newsom emphasized the measure does not criminalize homelessness.
“There’s nothing compassionate about letting people die on the streets,” the governor said in a statement. “We’re giving local governments a model they can put to work immediately, with urgency and with humanity.”
The funding released today includes voter-approved Proposition 1 funds designated for expanding behavioral health housing and treatment. According to the Governor’s Office, the state has cleared more than 16,000 encampments since 2021 and removed over 311,000 cubic yards of waste and debris, efforts they say are scalable with the right local support.
The model ordinance is part of a broader push to shift more responsibility to local governments, backed by a new accountability website — accountability. c a.gov — that tracks local progress in reducing homelessness, creating housing, and providing services.
While the tools and funding are now in place, critics and observers alike note that the effectiveness of this plan will depend heavily on how individual communities implement the guidelines and use the available resources — something that has proven inconsistent in the past.
We are writing to you with a heartfelt request. It has come to our attention that Qatar has gifted a Boeing 747-8 that was originally intended for your use. We respectfully ask that you consider donating this aircraft to Doctors Without Borders. This incredible organization has long operated without a dedicated plane, and such a donation would significantly enhance their ability to deliver critical medical care and disaster relief around the globe. Your generous act could help save countless lives and would demonstrate a powerful commitment to global humanitarian efforts. It would be a meaningful gesture—one that reflects compassion, leadership, and an enduring legacy of doing good for others. With gratitude and hope, Concerned Residents of Malibu

So sweet: Malibu youth find joy in cake creation
Boys & Girls Club partners with pastry chef Duff Goldman to offer an interactive
By BARBARA BURKE Special to The Malibu Times
As he raced in for the interview after finishing up a session practicing and improving on his four-scene play, which he describes as a post-apocalyptic story, Miles Carlson, a sixth-grader at Malibu Middle School,
buoyantly chatted about his recent experience baking cakes at the Boys & Girls Club of Malibu.
“I’m a nerd, so my cake was based on battles in the “Warhammer” universe,” Carlson shared as he discussed how much he enjoyed an interactive cake-baking experience based on his favorite game. “I designed the emperor class titan with a massive neck, made the warlord titan a bit small and the little tanks were very fun to create!” Carlson and other students really got into expressing themselves creatively through baking. He shared, “I freehanded my design — I didn’t sketch it.”
The club offered its attendees the de -
lightful and delectable opportunity to collaborate with Jeffrey Adam “Duff” Goldman, an engaging pastry chef who is gifted with the talent of sharing his baking acumen in a fun way, all the while teaching both creativity and, equally importantly, how creativity can assuage stress.
Shana Childress, also a sixth-grader, shared how her concept progressed until it was a fabulous, gorgeous beach cake.
“I made blue buttermilk frosting and added green so it could have a coral effect,” Childress said. “I even added a surfboard using fondant icing, which is kind of an edible version of clay.”
Shana’s mother, Lisa Childress, joyful-
ly noted, “I was impressed with Shana’s cake decorating skills, and I loved how she derived inspiration from the ocean and the Malibu sun.”
“This cake decorating workshop provided a wonderful sense of normalcy post-fire in that the teens and preteens could come together to express their creativity with a cake artist who had fun learning from them as well,” Childress added.
Kasey Earnest, CEO of Boys & Girls Club Malibu, wholeheartedly agreed with Childress, noting “This was more than just frosting and fun — it reminded our youth that joy and connection are still very much alive in our community.”
For his part, Goldman equally enjoyed the experience.
“I live in Topanga so am living the post-fire stress with the kids and everyone and in my own life. Cooking has given me purpose, direction, discipline, guard rails and focus — all of which can help children and adults overcome obstacles,” he said. “This is my first event with Boys & Girls Club and it’s wonderful to share with their members — I do a lot of cake-making on television with kids and work closely with Make a Wish Foundation and No Kid Hungry.” Goldman shared that he likes to provide children with a lot of materials

MALIBU SEEN
By Benjamin Marcus, Entertainment Editor
Michel Shane on Malibu past, present and future
As residents of Malibu for 29 years, Michel and Ellen Shane have seen times and bad times, and they are deeply concerned with how their quiet seaside community is being affected by forces natural, commercial, national, philosophical.
The parents of Emily Shane, who was killed by a malicious driver in 2010 at the age of 13, they are the co-founders of The Emily Shane Foundation. As a tribute to their daughter, the mission of the foundation is to empower underserved middle school students who are at risk of academic failure by providing personalized academic coaching and mentorship through its SEA (Successful Educational Achievement) Program, which offers one-on-one tutoring and mentoring to middle school students who are struggling academically and cannot afford private support. A unique aspect of the program is the “Pass It Forward” initiative, where students perform a good deed for every session they attend, promoting kindness and social responsibility.
Michel Shane has ideas for how to conserve and improve Malibu by land, sea, and air.
At the City Council meeting on May 12, that got cancelled because of no microphones, I eavesdropped on you a bit, apologies. I heard you say something about a ferry system and the Olympics. You are the third person to talk about a ferry running from Malibu to points east and maybe south and west. What’s your vision for that ferry?
Our Malibu Coastal Waterway Transit System creates a practical ‘blue highway’ connecting Paradise Cove, Point Dume, and Malibu Pier with vessels carrying 30-50 passengers. We’ll start with conventional marine technology to launch quickly, transitioning to zero emissions in later phases.
I can see loading and unloading passengers at Paradise Cove Pier and Malibu Pier, but Point Dume? How would that work?
Initially, we’d start with just one location connecting to Santa Monica while we shore up existing piers and develop the infrastructure. For
rapid implementation, we could utilize expertise similar to what the Army Corps of Engineers provides for temporary maritime solutions, allowing us to launch the service quickly while permanent facilities are being adapted or constructed. As the concept proves successful, we’d expand to additional locations. The beauty of this approach is that it allows us to demonstrate the ferry’s value immediately while developing a more comprehensive network over time. The first connection would establish the proof of concept, and public support would naturally follow as residents experience the benefits firsthand.
This system addresses our deadly PCH safety crisis, provides crucial evacuation routes during disasters, and relieves traffic congestion — all while offering 15-minute travel times between stops. The timing is perfect, with several communities launching similar water taxi initiatives, showing growing recognition of waterways as viable transportation corridors.
Phase 1 investment represents a fraction of conventional infrastructure costs. With proven models in Marina del Rey and Long Beach already successful, we’re applying tested solutions to Malibu’s unique challenges while creating Olympic-ready infrastructure for 2028. The bottom line is that this isn’t just alternative transportation — it’s about saving lives on PCH while creating a resilient, forward-thinking mobility network for our coastal community.
The reason this ferry could work now where it might not have in the past is ride-hailing companies: Uber, Lyft, Waymo. I can see some Malibu people taking the ferry, avoiding the hassle of PCH, enjoying the sea and fresh air and blue sky, having a cuppa or getting some work done on Starlink, and then taking an Uber or a Lyft from the Santa Monica Pier or Marina del Rey to wherever they have to go. Yes, we have many alternatives to assist, but what I see as the longterm goal is integrating this ferry into the regular transit systems. Making it seamless would benefit everyone who wants to use mass transit. With the Olympics, World Cup, and Super Bowl on the horizon, it’s the perfect opportunity to
upgrade our transportation infrastructure and make this ferry an integral part of the new system. Who wouldn’t want to take the waterway to Malibu?
I agree. Tourists would love it. We’re all jaded by all this natural beauty of earth, sea, and sky. But if you’re coming from elsewhere, it’s something.
Beyond daily commuting and tourism benefits, it would serve as a critical evacuation option during emergencies. This dual-purpose infrastructure addresses both our everyday transportation challenges and our community’s safety needs during crises. It’s not a new idea.
Did I also hear you talking about doing a mid-summer benefit concert — was it at Caffe Luxxe? — and you wanted to find talent that would be a draw. What are the details of that?
We are still in planning and may have to pivot due to timing, but yes, our vision has evolved significantly since those initial conversations at Caffe Luxxe. What began as a modest benefit concert has transformed into “Malibu Rising” — a full-scale community revival event planned for the summer solstice, June 21.
Who would it benefit? People and businesses affected by fires?
With full transparency as our commitment, we’re creating a direct pipeline ensuring funds reach the businesses that need them most.
Impoverished freelance writers on Ebikes?
Our goal is to bring people from all over to enjoy a day of art, music, food, shopping, and the simple joy of community gathering. It’s about giving back and keeping our local economy alive. While we’ve set our sights on the summer solstice as a powerful symbol of renewal, our immediate challenge remains finding that perfect headline performer who can help draw the visitors our struggling businesses desperately need.
A midsummer festival. How very Viking. Location?
Bluffs Park has always been our vision for “Malibu Rising.” We deliberately chose the summer solstice — the longest day of light in the year — as a powerful symbol of renew-
Burt’s Eye View: Sibling Rivalry
PERSPECTIVE
By Burt Ross, Contributed Column
We all know that sibling rivalry has been around since recorded history. The Old Testament states that God created Adam and Eve, who had two sons, Cain and Abel. The two boys did not exactly hit it off all that well.
An aside, if Adam and Eve only produced Cain and Abel, then how did Earth’s population balloon to more than 8 billion people?
This all brings me to the subject at hand — sibling rivalry in my own family. I have one sibling — my brother Phil who is 3 years and 9 months older than I am. From the time I came on the scene and Phil asked my parents if they could return me, we have engaged in brotherly competition. The rivalry was so intense that my brother blew up my stuffed dog Jigsy with his chemistry set. My beloved Jigsy was never the same.
It should then come as no surprise that Phil called me the other day to announce, “My granddaughter is better than your grandson.” I was not so much surprised at the sheer audacity of his pronouncement as by the fact that my brother does not have a granddaughter. I feared that Phil was showing the first sign of dementia.
“Phil, you have no granddaughter,” I said. I am not sure he heard me, but he continued, “My granddaughter can feed herself and my granddaughter only poops outside.” And then I understood what was going on. Phil’s daughter Dahlia had just adopted a rescue dog.
“What’s the dog’s name?” I asked Phil. “Chloe,” he responded. I managed to get the last word in, “Well, I can only hope my grandson never makes a habit of pooping outside.”
al after these months of economic darkness following the fires.
We’re transforming Bluffs Park with its sweeping ocean views into a celebration of Malibu’s resilience — a main stage for musicians, art installations along walking paths, a children’s sanctuary at the playground, and pop-up kitchens from our struggling local restaurants. While we have the vision and location, we’re still searching for that headline performer who can serve as both artistic anchor and drawing power.
There’s no shortage of musical talent around Malibu, so who, ideally, would you like to see perform at the benefit?
We need musicians who can fill our shores with healing melodies, artists whose work captures our struggle and resilience, performers who can transform spaces with energy, and culinary visionaries whose food brings people back to our restaurants.
If you could wave your magic wand and have anyone perform, who would that be? Someone from Malibu? Elsewhere? I want to hear Flea blow the trumpet solo for “Miserlu.” If you had Lady Gaga and Neil Young singing duets on “Cinnamon Girl” — the world would show up. If only my magic wand worked, we wouldn’t need the concert. I’d be afraid of leaving someone out if I named names, but imagine the incredible potential here.
Everyone from Bob to Babs to Benatar to Beck — and beyond!
Malibu has extraordinary star power among its residents and frequent visitors — enough that an all-star benefit concert could draw global attention. Broadcasting such an event would create both immediate economic impact and a lasting legacy for our community.
This isn’t just about entertainment — it’s economic survival. When I drive past shuttered storefronts where owners who survived Woolsey now face this new hell, I feel something beyond sadness. These aren’t just businesses — they’re families and legacies. People come to Malibu for beauty but return for the soul, and “Malibu Rising” aims to showcase both while bringing the visitors our community desperately needs.
So “Malibu Rising” is in the planning stages, but Wings Over Malibu is a go?
As we celebrate our 10th year of Wings Over Malibu, this premier spring gala represents the heart of our mission. The butterfly — our
foundation’s symbol — honors Emily Shane’s spirit while embodying the transformation we witness in our SEA Program students. This meaningful connection to both Emily’s legacy and our coastal community makes “Wings Over Malibu” profoundly fitting.
This elegant evening celebrates our students’ remarkable academic journeys while raising critical funds that sustain our work with underserved middle schoolers. Through personalized academic guidance and tutoring, coupled with mentorship we have transformed over 1,100 young lives. We are providing support to those who need it most, at a critical time in their academic journey. Participation (either by attending the event and/ or by taking part in the online silent auction accompanying the event — bit.ly/WOMSilentAuction25) directly empowers these students to overcome academic and life challenges to allow them to achieve their full potential — turning the butterfly’s symbolism of metamorphosis into real success stories.
Where have you had Wings Over Malibu in the past?
Prior to 2015, the event had different names and was not consistent in format. Wings Over Malibu (WOM as we call it internally!) has been held at The Sunset, Duke’s, and now Café Habana Malibu. Until the pandemic, it was presented at The Sunset; when the special events were halted at that time, we moved to Duke’s. Due to the delayed reopening of Duke’s, a venue change became necessary and we are lucky to now have the opportunity to present Wings Over Malibu 2025 at Café Habana Malibu this year. It’s a great, central location with plenty of free parking at the Malibu Lumber Yard.
Has WOM grown in popularity?
Yes! And now that the community is aware of our second division, we are attracting more people!
What are the challenges you are facing running the event in postfire Malibu?
Our foundation is facing significant funding challenges for our SEA Program following the recent wildfires, as many of our loyal supporters are managing their own recovery efforts. Despite this setback, we remain optimistic that our ticket price and exceptional event offerings will draw our community together. Those who are unable to attend can participate in our online silent auction, which offers a vast array of desirable items and experiences. Malibu’s spirit has always been resilient, and we’re confident people will rally to support our
vital educational work both locally and throughout the region. This fundraiser isn’t just about sustainability — it’s about ensuring underserved, under-resourced students continue receiving the academic mentorship they desperately need, while also advancing our PCH safety/driving education initiatives and waterways project. Through Wings Over Malibu, we’re not just recovering — we’re renewing our commitment to transformation.
I think you should have it at The Farm in the back of Serra Retreat: It’s outside, it’s lovely, there’s lots of room, lots of parking. The neighbors won’t complain because they’ll be partying with you.
At this time, when every dollar counts, this location is not feasible for ESF. We’d need all to be donated, and when we followed up your recommendation for this as a potential venue, that was not possible; it was cost prohibitive. Maybe another time or for a different event.
You are understandably concerned with and involved with speed on PCH.
The Emily Shane Foundation is proud to introduce “Driving Change,” our groundbreaking new division dedicated to transforming road safety education. I’m passionate about this initiative about our mission to prevent traffic tragedies through innovative educational programs, strategic partnerships, and data-driven advocacy. What sets Driving Change apart is our deeply personal understanding of how preventable driving incidents devastate families — knowledge that fuels our commitment to create meaningful, lasting impact in communities nationwide. We’re not just raising awareness; we’re empowering people to become active participants in making our roads safer for everyone. The irony about this division is that it is in our charter. We thought of this when we started The Emily Shane Foundation. We wanted to establish the S.E.A program first (Successful Educational Achievements).
And at WOM, you’re honoring Haylynn Conrad? She is worthy. She has lovely hair but the trouble and strife of modern Malibu is causing her to tear her hair out and that would be a tragedy. Haylynn is a committed and caring member of our Malibu community who steps up — not just with words but with action — to do all she can for our city. We applaud her devotion and passion and are delighted to be honoring her — she truly is worthy of the recognition.

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 1.866.684.2727 or visit this Internet Website www.servicelinkasap.com. using the file number assigned to this case 25-00014-2CTT. 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 1.866.684.2727, or visit this internet website www.servicelinkasap.com, using the file number assigned to this case 25-00014-2CTT 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 real Property heretofore described is being sold “as is”. The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real Property described above is purported to be: 23872 Malibu Rd., Malibu, CA The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein. Said sale will be made without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining unpaid balance of the obligations secured by and pursuant to the power of sale contained in that certain Deed of Trust (together with any modifications thereto). The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligations secured by the Property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of this Notice of Trustee’s Sale is estimated to be $11,760,993.68 (Estimated), provided, however, prepayment premiums, accrued interest and advances will increase this figure prior to sale. Beneficiary’s bid at said sale may include all or part of said amount. In addition to cash, the Trustee will accept a cashier’s check drawn on a state or national bank, a check drawn by a state or federal credit union or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, savings association or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the California Financial Code and authorized to do business in California, or other such funds as may be acceptable to the trustee. In the event tender other than cash is accepted, the Trustee may withhold the issuance of the Trustee’s Deed Upon Sale until funds become available to the payee or endorsee as a matter of right.

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 1.866.684.2727 or visit this Internet Website www. servicelinkasap.com. using the file number assigned to this case 25-00023-2CTT. 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. The real Property heretofore described is being sold “as is”. The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real Property described above is purported to be: 30901 PACIFIC COAST HWY, 6301 TRANCAS CANYON RD and 23907 MALIBU RD, MALIBU, CA The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein. Said sale will be made without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining unpaid balance of the obligations secured by and pursuant to the power of sale contained in that certain Deed of Trust (together with any modifications thereto). The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligations secured by the Property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of this Notice of Trustee’s Sale is estimated to be $12,461,658.22 (Estimated), provided, however, prepayment premiums, accrued interest and advances will increase this figure prior to sale. Beneficiary’s bid at said sale may include all or part of said amount. In addition to cash, the Trustee will accept a cashier’s check drawn on a state or national bank, a check drawn by a state or federal credit union or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, savings association or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the California Financial Code and authorized to do business in California, or other such funds as may be acceptable to the trustee. In the event tender other than cash is accepted, the Trustee may withhold the issuance of the Trustee’s Deed Upon Sale until funds become available to the payee or endorsee as a matter of right. The Property offered for sale excludes all funds held on account by the Property receiver, if applicable.

Malibu High School boys volleyball team wins litany of league recognitions
After falling short last season, outside hitter Keegan Cross led the Sharks to an undefeated league record
By McKENZIE JACKSON Special to The Malibu Times
Malibu High boys volleyball player Keegan Cross was in contention for the Citrus Coast League’s Player of the Year honor a year ago.
The outside hitter had a successful season and helped the Sharks go undefeated in the six-team league and advance to the third round of the playoffs. However, he didn’t win the award.
Cross, an 11th-grader, said not winning the CCL’s top player honor motivated him to become a better player.
“In practice, I focused on nitty, gritty pieces of my game,” he explained. “I constantly tried to improve, whether it was placing the ball in better positions or getting my offense more aggressive and smarter.
I wanted to become an overpowering player and diverse player with many tricks in my book to get points.”
Cross’ hard work paid off. He led the Sharks throughout a standout 2025 campaign and was named the CCL Player of the Year last week.
The 6-foot-1 volleyballer of four years said it was great to win the award.
“My whole team has worked very hard,” Cross said. “Everyone has tried their best to progress and get better. Especially with me, as to how much work I put into this sport, I feel validated and very rewarded for how much work I have put into this. Getting short of the award last year pushed me to keep working, try harder, be the best player, and be the best teammate I can.”
Sharks head coach Derek Saenz called Cross, who is also Malibu’s captain, a mature player and said the best player in the league.
“Keegan has always been talented,” he said. “He is
getting better. He went to a different level this year. He is focused and his leadership is developing. Him being Player of the Year was an easy choice.”
The Sharks had eight other CCL honors.
Saenz won the league’s coach of the year, and junior Taj Menteer is on the All-CCL first team with Cross.
Junior Alex Galan and sophomores Madeus Lupo and Martin Kurial are on the second team. Sophomores Timur Podgore and Lucas Galan and freshman Luca Calvo received honorable mention all-league players.
Malibu had a 10-0 record in the CCL this season and a 23-9 overall record. The Sharks were beaten by Notre Dame 3-1 on April 30 in the opening round of the Division 4 CIF Southern Section Boys Volleyball Championships. Sage Hill defeated Santa Barbara 3-2 to win the championship on May 16.
Cross said the Sharks improved a lot from 2024 to
2025 — in defensive blocking in particular — and noted that the team reached several goals they set for themselves when the season began in February.
“This year, we didn’t have a single senior,” he said. “In a lot of games, we showed we can play well as a team and are serious about the game. It was good to see that as a younger team we could have the right mindset and compete with teams that have full rosters of seniors.
Saenz said season’s highs included beating teams such as Bishop Diego, Oaks Christian, and Oak Park, a team that has beat Malibu badly in previous seasons.
“All the schools we played in the past,” he said, “we were better than.”
Malibu won the gold division of the Garden Grove BVB End of Season Tournament in Brea in April. Cross said defeating Fontana 25-19, 25-22 in the championship match was a big accomplishment for him and his teammates.
“That was the first tournament win ever for Derek since he has been coaching at Malibu,” Cross noted.
“That tournament win is big.”
Saenz, also Malibu’s girls volleyball coach, has now won the boys top coaching award twice. He said winning the honor felt great and noted how he had to guide the team through challenging times this season, including the aftermath of January’s Palisades Fire.
“It was trying to figure out where people were mentally and emotionally and push accordingly,” said Saenz, who has coached most of the Sharks in club and beach volleyball. “We are at the point where we don’t have to spend a lot of time on how to move the ball around. We know how to play. Now, it’s more how do we improve the minor things to make a difference because everyone is good. We are moved territory, while dealing with a super stressful situation — the fires. I had to push them at the same time I know some kids lost their homes.”
Saenz, whose coaching idols include Hall of Fame
Long Beach State coach Brian Gimmillaro, aims to keep volleyball fun for the Malibu squad.
“They have all been playing for a long time, so I don’t want them to be bored,” he said. “I look to create opportunities for my athletes. I want to make my kids better and get them further. I’m an athletes-first coach.”
Cross described Saenz as a coach committed to his teams, who directs players to work hard on the volleyball court.
“He always tells us to put in the work to get better,” Cross said. “He does not tolerate playing around or anything like that. He has always been a serious volleyball coach. I like that style of coaching a lot. It has worked for me greatly. He has pushed me to be the best I can.”
Next season, Cross predicted Malibu will be motivated by their first-round loss in this year’s CIF postseason to advance further in the 2026 playoffs.
“We got to the semifinals my sophomore year, but it was cut so short this year,” Cross said of the Sharks’ playoff runs. “Our biggest goal is to get farther and farther in CIF. With the great things we did this season, we are going to feel good going into next year with high expectations.”
did in the final round — specifically the last six holes — was incredible,” Beard recalled. “Watching our guys perform under pressure, going 6-under over the last six holes and 3-under on the last two was awesome. It was stressful, but so much fun to see.”
The Waves finished the three-round regional with a total score of 849 (280292-277) (+9). The team was led by junior Mahanth Chirravuri, who finished 10th out of a field of golfers from over
20 schools with a score of 2-under 208 (71-72-65). Chirravuri carded 5-under 65, including a 4-under back nine and a birdie on the 18th hole to earn Pepperdine sole possession on the fifth spot.
Waves freshman Luke Baily and sophomore Willy Walsh tied for 30th. Baily was at 4-over with a total of 214 (68-7472). He shot a 2-over 72 with a birdie on the fifth hold of the last round. Walsh’s total score was 214 (75-68-71) (+4). He was 1-over 71 with three birdies in the final round.
Brady Siravo, a Pepperdine junior, had a score of 215 (73-71-71) (+5) which
tied him for 34th. The golfer had birdies on the 11th and 18th holes in the last eight holes and had a 1-over 71 in the third round.
Pepperdine sophomore Kristoffer Kuvass carded at an even 70 on the final day. He nailed birdies on the first and 17th holes.
Oklahoma finished first in the tournament at 830 (-10), and Vanderbilt placed second with 834 (-6). Tennessee was third place with 835 (-5), and Wake Forest with 839 (-1) finished just ahead of the Waves and qualified for the NCAA Championship. Arizona, Arkan-
sas, Stanford, LSU, Kent State, Florida Gulf Coast, Princeton, and Howard were the other teams in the field.
Vanderbilt’s Jackson Van Paris was the top finishing individual with 202 (-8) and two golfers, Sakke Siltala of Texas State and Clark Van Gaalen of Oklahoma, tied for second at 205 (-5).
The top fives teams and top individual golfers not on those teams from each of the six regional tournaments — 156 participants overall — are taking part in the championships, which are hosted by Texas.
There will be three days of stroke play,
after which the top 15 teams and nine individuals not on an advancing team will be determined. The final day of the championship is 18 holes of stroke play to determine the top eight teams that will go on to match play as well as the 72-hole individual champion.
The team national championship is match-play format, including quarterfinals and semifinals on May 27 and finals the next day.
The Waves didn’t advance out of regionals last season. Pepperdine defeated Oklahoma 3-2 in match play to win the national crown in 2021.
