Damage Repair Plan For Temescal Canyon Road Approved by City Council

There is Instability From Water Seepage Caused by Heavy Winter Rains

By Zach Armstrong

The Los Angeles City Council approved $800,000 in funds for the Bureau of Engineering’s mitigation plan of addressing seepage and roadway damage on Temescal Canyon Road.

The addressed portion of the busy street is the southbound lane between Pacific Coast Highway and West Bowdoin Street, a popular entry point into Pacific Palisades and the adjacent streetway of Temescal Canyon Park, Palisades Charter High School and Stadium by the Sea.

The lane experienced instability from water seepage caused by heavy winter rains earlier this year, officials said.

The approval comes shortly after Councilmember Traci Park introduced a motion to identify the needed funding. “I have personally been out there several times and I recognize the significant impacts this is having in your community,” said Park in an uploaded YouTube video. “It turns out the necessary work is going to be more expensive than we initially thought.”

Palisades Dolphins Start Season Undefeated

The Dolphins Have a Lot to Prove Coming off a Successful Previous Season

By Zach Armstrong

The 23-24 academic school year has started in Pacific Palisades and with it: Friday night lights!

The Palisades Dolphins football team has a lot to prove coming off a successful previous season of a 10-4 record, which ended with a playoff loss to Granada Hills Charter. Thus far, they’ve done just that. Two weeks into the season, the Dolphins remain undefeated.

The dolphins started off the season the right way with a shutout 29-0 victory over the El Camino Real Royals. During that game, Senior quarterback Roman La scala

passed for 229 yards while Junior Brett Federman passed for 18. Senior Braydon Sanford received 96 of those yards, the most of any other receiver. Junior Teralle Watson rushed for 43 yards, the most of the team’s 51 total rushing yards.

Another showcase of Dolphin domination was seen the following week with a 42-14 victory over the Roosevelt Rough Riders. La scala achieved 159 passing yards; 71 of which were received by Sanford. Junior Max Hejazi also proved a valuable receiving asset with 32 yards. Senior Harrison Carter rushed for a total of 80 yards, the most of the team’s 171.

On Sept. 7, the Dolphins will take on the St. Genevieve Valiants who have yet to achieve a victory in the 23-24 season. The game will take place at home at 7 p.m.

Fatal Malibu Stabbing

The Incident Was Reported in the 19400 Block of Pacific Coast Highway

Authorities are currently conducting an investigation into a fatal stabbing incident that occurred just south of Las Tunas Beach in Malibu during the late hours of Tuesday, CBS News reported.

The Lost Hills Sheriff’s Station of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department responded to a call involving a domestic violence dispute between a man and a

woman at approximately 11:55 p.m. The incident was reported in the 19400 block of Pacific Coast Highway.

Upon their prompt arrival at the scene, law enforcement discovered an individual, a male aged between 20 to 25 years, afflicted with a stab wound to the upper torso, as detailed by Lt. Michael Gomez, head of the homicide division, as reported by CBS.

The victim was expeditiously transported to a medical facility, where subsequent assessments confirmed his unfortunate demise.

While the identity of the assailant remains undisclosed at this time, preliminary investigations suggest the involvement of a female individual, according to authorities.

Over 1,000 Feet of RV Camps Cleared Along Jefferson Blvd, Traci Park Says

The Jefferson Trail Rehabilitation Project Aims to Restore the Ballona Wetlands

By Zach Armstrong

Traci Park and her team announced the launch of the Jefferson Trail Rehabilitation Project. The project aims to restore the ecological preserve of the Ballona Wetlands, a place she says has been affected through years due to RV encampments along Jefferson Boulevard.

“Unfortunately, the fires, violence, deadly overdoses, and environmental degradation at this location became symbolic of the City’s failure to either address homelessness or protect our essential environmental assets.” Park said in her newsletter. “My only regret is that this problem was allowed to persist for so long, but I am excited for the opportunity to return this area to full use and enjoyment by the entire community.”

Park said her team, LAHSA and other nonprofits underwent outreach efforts at Jefferson for several months, although some people accepted offers while others declined. More than 1,000 feet of Jefferson has been fully cleared, Park said, with remaining parts to be completed over the next several weeks as the work moves toward Culver Boulevard.

Malibu Fisherman Rescued After Falling off Cliff

The Man Landed on the Rocks Below the Mastro’s Ocean Club

At 5:30 p.m. on Sunday, Malibu Search and Rescue along with other agencies rescued a fisherman in his 50s who went over the edge and landed on the rocks below the Mastro’s Ocean Club in Malibu.

The individual had been fishing when he

tumbled approximately 30 feet down onto the rocks. As a result of the fall, he sustained a head injury and was in critical condition. Rescuers employed a rescue winch and patient basket to evacuate him.

The collaborative response occurred amidst torrential rains and windy conditions associated with Tropical Storm Hilary, heightening the danger for the rescue personnel. The victim was subsequently transported to a trauma center for medical care.

Great Minds Grow at The Willows Community School

By SuSan Payne

Great minds are growing at The Willows Community School in Los Angeles. Rooted in experiential learning and social values, The Willows believes each child brings the community an extraordinary gift: a curious mind, ready to explore and eager to learn.

To grow that gift, the school challenges students to uncover meaning and significance in the world around them, and to become capable, confident individuals who demonstrate character, engagement and a joyful passion for creative inquiry across a lifetime.

Willows students are a diverse group with unique backgrounds, commuting from 57 zip codes in the Los Angeles area for a robust and meaningful educational experience. They are actively engaged in learning and intellectually curious from developmental kindergarten through eighth grade.

Scientific studies indicate significant benefits to the DK-8 structure. The Willows has three divisions of students with an academic program tailored specifically to the needs of each group: primary (DK through Grade 2), upper elementary (Grades 3-5) and middle school (Grades 6-8).

At every level, students are active and engaged learners who are encouraged to problem solve, think critically, ask questions and take

intellectual and creative risks. At The Willows, students begin to understand the most important lesson of all: as a learner, anything is possible.

“Our campus is open by design, so there’s a lot of space for collaboration and cooperation and creativity. When parents visit, they see how unique the campus is and love it for their children. It’s a very dynamic place where minds grow,” said Lisa Rosenstein, head of school. “As they grow, they develop a sense of connection to the school and community. Having begun education in a place where they feel safe, cared for and connected, helps them later transition to high school and the world beyond.”

Parents choose The Willows for its balanced progressive curriculum that’s adaptable to change and vital in a modern, ever-changing world. Learning is a constantly evolving dialogue between student and teacher, not a predetermined path.

In its 29 years of operation, The Willows has achieved a reputation as one of the pre-eminent independent schools in Los Angeles, known for its highly regarded technology program and educational innovations. In 2014 and 2015, The Willows received the 2014 and 2015 Culver City Private School Award for Excellence.

The Willows boasts 100% digitally active classrooms on campus with teachers who have long tenures of teaching at the school: 32% of teachers have taught at The Willows for 20 years

or more, and 49% of teachers have taught at the school for more than 15.

“Administrators, staff and faculty are accessible to the community and are constantly evaluating our educational programming, working together to create an environment and experience ideal for discovery, inquiry and growth,” Rosenstein said.

Core values of the school include creative inquiry at core, challenging academics in balance and character and community. Each of these core values are deeply embedded into a structured curriculum that allows children to fulfill their intellectual, creative, physical and social-emotional potential.

Willows students learn to build bridges

to the community and learn they are part of a larger world. Through a schoolwide theme each year, Willows students are challenged to think critically and implement their talents to explore that theme into school projects and events. This year, the theme is strength.

Overall, academic programming at The Willows is complemented by an exemplary performing and fine arts curriculum, a full range of athletic teams, a rich and thoughtful social emotional learning and life skills curriculum, and extracurricular activities.

Rock 101 Helps Young Rockers Develop Passion for Learning

By SuSan Payne

Inside the School of Rock West LA is ample opportunity for kids and beginners to learn and experience playing music. From beginning to advance levels of students, School of Rock has a place for every skill level, including adults. The school, devoted to helping aspiring musicians master skills, unleash creativity and develop tools they need to thrive in life, introduces kids to music as young as 3 years old.

Little Wing, for preschoolers and toddlers ages 3 to 5, teaches foundational music skills such as rhythm, song strong structure, melody and dynamics through play. Rookies, for ages 6 to 7 years old, learn fundamentals like chords, rhythm and song structure while exploring different instruments.

At ages 8 to 13, School of Rock offers a Rock 101 Program with continuous open enrollment. Students start learning classic rock on an instrument of choice in a low pressure environment and are introduced to a class of other students who are learning how to have musical conversations with each other. Rock 101’s programming helps young students build

strong musical proficiency before moving to the next level.

School of Rock West LA’s general manager Justin Salmons says kids start to develop their own taste around that age and that learning is critical for developing a passion for music.

“It’s the motor skills, interest and arts, everything comes together right around that age. Kids start finding their own musical taste and experience, and parents usually get a kick when those things align,” Salmons said.

Rock 101’s approach to teaching kids is simple, but approachable starting with weekly private instruction to learn concepts and develop skills and a weekly group rehearsal with other students.

“We get them playing something that rocks, that they are familiar with, and something that they can accomplish right away. Knowing how to play a real song is exciting and that’s a confidence booster for them,” Salmons said.

Salmons, who has been with School of Rock West LA for 12 years, said they’ve built Rock 101 from the ground up and have watched young kids continue programming and advance into musical careers.

While Rock 101 students are usually at the

beginning of their potential for music growth, they also get to experience what advancing in the program looks like as openers for some inschool events.

“We give them a safe comfortable environment and have instructors by their side to give them courage. Parents really get to see how far they’ve come in these environments,” Salmons said. “We put every ounce of passion and love into everything we do. Playing live music is one of my happiest states of being and I want other people to know what that feels like.”

For ages 8 to 18, Performance is the hallmark music program at School of Rock, a weekly rehearsal learning rock music’s iconic songs in a band composed of their peers. Students are assigned songs and parts based on their age, experience and ability to learn new skills and concepts, and get to perform multiple times in front of a live audience. Older teens play at a near professional level.

While some kids choose sports or theatre as an extracurricular, there are many who choose music because of the community — they’ve found their tribe, other kids who love music as much as them.

“For some of those creative, introverted kids, it can be a harder ask to get them to try sports, but if you introduce them to keys or guitar, or singing, their whole social world opens up and they blossom into creative young kids with a passion for music,” Salmons said. “Our older teens play at a near professional level. Whether music is something fun or your passion, School of Rock can help you achieve your musical goals and dreams.”

St. Matthew’s Parish School Continues Legacy of Excellence

Nestled among the Santa Monica mountains on a 28-acre campus near the Pacific Ocean, St. Matthew’s Parish School believes real excellence happens through rich, immersive lived experiences, and exciting, creative interdisciplinary learning opportunities. Students safely and adventurously explore every day, and learn together through diverse, shared learning opportunities both on campus and in the communities and environments beyond — trying new things, discovering the world around them, and discovering themselves.

New this year is alumna Alley Michaelson, returning to her Pacific Palisades roots as St. Matthew’s Parish School’s Head of School. With an extensive background in education and love for the community, Michaelson started this role in July of 2023.

Top tier faculty provide students with individualized, loving guidance and genuine respect that allows them to reach much farther both safely and confidently, in the pursuit of ideas, answers, and a more fulfilling, deeper sense of understanding and learning.

“What’s most important to me is the focus that St. Matthew’s has on the whole child — the development of the child academically, spiritually, ethically and morally. Their values

and what they believe to be important is what makes this school truly unique,” Michaelson says.

Along with their families, St. Matthew’s students find strong connections and a real feeling of home within a warm, welcoming, inclusive community, united by a sense of belonging and a shared mission of learning, collaboration, and outreach.

“Parents and families choose St. Matthew’s because of our strong values that coexist simultaneously with the future of education that’s been integrated into the curriculum over the years: teaching and learning in a space that has been transformed to adapt to the most recent needs of student brains and effective learning environments in the 21st century,” Michaelson says.

St. Matthew’s educational philosophy is to temper their students’ strong capability with compassion and balance their well-deserved self-assurance with authentic empathy and kindness. Students gain the flexibility to adapt easily and naturally to meet both challenges and opportunities with enthusiasm and in return, look for every chance to give back.

Currently, St. Matthew’s houses 28 classrooms, including an art studio, two music and performing arts classrooms, two science

labs, in addition to two maker/innovation spaces, a 13,000-volume library, a student center, sports and performing arts center with a gym and stage for student productions, a swimming pool, playing field, playgrounds and the church.

“We often hear from high schools that St. Matthew’s students are the most prepared for high school and that reputation is important to us because we believe that what children go on to achieve and what they bring back to their communities is important,” Michaelson says.

Many successful St. Matthew’s School alumni have gone on to accomplish incredible feats including James Kanoff, founder of The

Farmlink Project, which rescues surplus food from farmers and delivers it to food banks and families in need; Ali Riley, an Americanborn New Zealand professional footballer, who plays as a defender for Angel City of the American National Women’s Soccer League; and Katy Tur, an MSNBC anchor, author, and broadcast journalist.

“Children spend a good portion of their developmental and transformative years at our School, and it is important to uncover and realize the potential that buds out of the St. Matthew’s experience,” Michaelson added.

Man Found Sealed in Barrel on Malibu Beach Died of Gunshot Wound to the Head

Law Enforcement Investigating Possible Motives For The Crime

By Dolores Quintana

The Los Angeles County coroner’s office has determined that the man discovered deceased inside a barrel on a Malibu beach was shot in the head, as confirmed by recent autopsy findings.

The man was identified last week as 32-yearold Javonnta Murphy. The cause of death,

which was initially undisclosed, has now been officially listed as a gunshot wound to the head. The circumstances that led to Murphy’s tragic demise, as well as how he was placed within a barrel, are currently under investigation by the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Office.

The 55-gallon black plastic barrel was first sighted floating in a Malibu lagoon on July 30. A lifeguard at Malibu Lagoon State Beach opened the barrel on July 31 after it had drifted back into the lagoon.

Just how long the body was in the barrel isn’t yet known. The Los Angeles Times reported that Murphy had grown up in South Los Angeles alongside four brothers and aspired to become a rapper. Patrick Nelson, a family friend, revealed Murphy’s musical ambitions. Notably, law enforcement is now exploring a

possible connection between Murphy’s death and the 2020 murder of rapper Pop Smoke, TMZ reports.

His brother, Jaquan Murphy, 24, was previously arrested in connection with the murder of Pop Smoke, who was fatally shot during a home-invasion robbery in the Hollywood Hills in 2020. Despite initially being detained along with four other suspects for attempted murder, Jaquan was subsequently cleared of the charges.

The authorities are currently investigating the potential of Javonnta’s murder being an act of retaliation linked to the rapper’s tragic death. Law enforcement sources have informed TMZ that the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department is actively exploring this theory as well as other possible motives.

Swimwear retailer Pour Moi conducted an analysis of Instagram data for TimeOut, an international entertainment and culture news site, to ascertain the most exquisite waterfront dining establishments across the globe. The top position on this roster was claimed by Malibu’s own Nobu.

Nobu provides patrons with expansive, panoramic vistas of the Pacific Ocean and the picturesque coastline. Located at 22706 Pacific Coast Hwy, menu items include Monkfish Pate with Caviar, Albacore with Meyer Lemon and Chilean Sea Bass with Dry Miso.

The subsequent two entries are situated in Greece and Croatia. However, the United

States makes a notable resurgence on the list at the fourth rank, with Mama’s Fish House in Maui, Hawai’i. Earning its rank at the sixteenth position is Shutters on the Beach in Santa Monica, which forms an integral part of the Santa Monica Hotel.

RZA Purchases Malibu Property for $9.8M
