Is
Defeated
200-Plus Ballots Still to Be Counted in Tight Council Race
■
By the time the Malibu City
Clerk closed up shop at City Hall
on Tuesday night after counting
ballots for the city council race
and Measure U, the total semiofficial results with 207 absentee
and provisional ballots left to
count on Wednesday made the
race too close to call for at least
one council seat until all of the
votes are tallied.
While it appears that Mayor
Andrew Stern kept his seat by
capturing 1,343 votes or 27.10
percent of the 2,674 ballots
counted, Councilmember Sharon
Barovsky’s seat remains in question with the two-term member
garnering 1,263 votes, or 25.48
percent, with challenger John
Mazza closely following with
1,207 ballots cast, amounting to
24.35 percent of the total vote.
When reached by telephone
Wednesday evening, Mazza
said, “It is not over yet.”
Measure U was another story,
with voters overwhelming defeating the term limits measure.
Over 72 percent of voters said no
to the initiative put on the ballot
by the city council allowing a
three-term limit instead of the
current two term limit put into
place by the voters six years ago.
City Clerk Lisa Pope said there
were 127 absentee ballots and 80

New City Manager Selected
■ Engineering Background Touted for Public Works
N
ot wanting to wait until
after the election, the
Malibu City Council this
week tapped Jim Thorsen as the
new city manager. The council’s
decision, made behind closed
doors, was announced by the city
attorney at this week’s council
meeting.
Thorsen, who will leave his
job as the assistant city manager
for the City of Agoura Hills to
take Malibu’s top administrative
post on May 1, was at the meeting and spoke briefly.
At the council meeting, members approved a two-year contract with the new administrator
at $156,000 per year plus full
benefits.
Members praised their choice.
“I thank you for joining our
team. He is really a great guy,”
said Councilmember Pamela
Conley Ulich. Councilmember
Sharon Barovsky concurred. “He
will be a great asset to the city,”
she said.
Jim Thorsen
Councilmember Ken Kearsley
talked about the lengthy process
the council undertook rather than
turning to an agency or headhunter.
“This is not a slight process.
We had 30 to 40 applications.
Narrowed them down to the
three feasible candidates. Interviewed those three twice and did
background checks,” he said,
before picking the top candidate.
Thorsen worked two years as
assistant city manager for
Agoura Hills. Before that, he was
the city’s public works director
and city engineer for seven years.
His previous job was with the
city of Simi Valley where he
worked in the public works
department for 10 years after
moving to California from Colorado where he worked for various municipalites for about three
years.
Thorsen, who is married with
two children, a 12-year-old boy
and eight-year-old girl, has lived
in Moorpark with his family
since 1994. He said he will commute from his home and has no
plans to move to Malibu.
He was raised in Montana and
eventually moved to a suburb of
Denver, Colorado, where he finished high school and college.
He graduated from Colorado
State with a degree in civil engineering.
Thorsen indicated, during a

GRISLY FIND—A dead body found in Malibu on Monday
afternoon is being treated as a suicide, according to the Los
Angeles County Coroner’s office. According to the preliminary
report, a 28-year-old Hispanic male died of a possible selfinflicted gunshot wound to the head. The name of the victim is
not being released pending notification of kin. Authorities indicate there is no known family and the victim was reported
missing by his girlfriend. The body was discovered in a vehicle
by a passerby, who notified authorities, after he noticed the
victim was sitting in the car, but appeared deceased. Beachgoers discovered another body in the surf at Zuma Saturday
morning in an unrelated incident—see page 12. MSN/George Hauptman

Malibuites Urged to Add Their Voices to LNG Opposition
■ Next Tuesday’s Public Hearing Is Seen as Critical Opportunity to Send a Loud Message
E
nvironmental organizations, neighborhood coalitions and individual residents are attempting to marshal
local forces to present an outpouring of opposition to the proposed
liquefied natural gas deepwater
port slated to be located 14 miles
off the coast of Malibu.
Federal and state officials will
attend a public hearing on the revised Draft Environmental Impact Report for the BHP Billiton
Cabrillo Port proposal on April 18
in the Malibu High School auditorium from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m.
Trying to mobilize the public,
two out-of-area groups, the Santa
Barbara-based Environmental Defense Center and the California
Coastal Protection Network have
taken out ads in local media urging residents to attend the Malibu
meeting being held next week
during spring break when many
Malibu families are out of town. It
is one of four regional sessions.
The groups reiterate some of
the findings in the Draft Environmental Impact Report on the controversial project, including the
increase in air pollution that
would be caused by the floating
regassification vessel and the
tankers that would unload LNG
for regassification and transport
by pipeline to the mainland.
Visual impact and public health
and safety concerns are also highlighted, as well as the experimental nature of the floating facility’s
design, that is seen as a tempting
terrorist target, in addition to
being vulnerable to storm and
earthquake impact.
Closer to home, a group of
local residents, many of them residents of Malibu Park, also took
out ads urging their neighbors to
attend the meeting.
Their concerns, besides the potential smog impacts from the
tanker emissions, is the visibility
of the 14-story-high floating regassification unit and its support
ships which will be visible day
and night “as part of our new horizon seen from all Malibu vistas.”
Additionally, the local homeowners are particularly sensitive
to the potential danger to the coast
due to an accident, such as the
release of a vapor cloud, or an
earthquake or terrorist attack
leading to the intentional release
of a vapor cloud that might drift
on air currents toward Malibu
Park or Point Dume.
These homeowners contend
that the possibility of a 14-mile
wide explosive flash fire exists
despite the claims of limited damage or extent of impact radius that
cannot be guaranteed because this
is the first project of its kind.
The Malibu residents are calling
on neighbors and others to write to
the governor to try to stop the project under the Deepwater Port Act,
which they claim gives the governor the right to approve or disapprove the project. The Malibuites
and others contend such citizens’
activism is needed since he is
being heavily lobbied to support
the project by the LNG industry.
OPPOSITION—Critics of offshore LNG production facilities make their sentiments clear.
The staff of the State Lands
Commission and the U.S. Coast
Guard, the lead agencies in the
joint EIS/EIR, will be at the meet-
ing to hear public testimony.
Information about the proposed
Cabrillo Port is available online at
www.slc.ca.gov or www.cabrillo-
port.ene.com. Comments on aspects of the proposal may be submitted
via

Arrest of Ferrari ‘Owner’ Moves Case to New Level
■ Federal Immigraton Agency’s Placement of a Hold on Eriksson Prevents the Posting of Bail
A
sizable media crowd gathered at the municipal court
downtown for what was
supposed to be the first appearance and setting of an arraignment
date for Stefan Eriksson, the man
who crashed a million-dollar-plus
Enzo Ferrari on Pacific Coast
Highway in February.
A nearly two-month-long sheriff’s department investigation resulted in Eriksson’s arrest last
weekend for felony grand theft in
connection with the crashed vehi-
NO SHOW—The central figure in the Malibu Enzo Ferrari
accident was supposed to appear in Commissioner James
Bianco's courtroom on Tuesday, but prosecutors in the
county district attorney’s office said they need more time to

decide whether they will be filing charges.
cle and two other high performance cars that the suspect, a
Swedish national, brought into
the United States last year.
Overseas lenders that are the reported title holders of the cars allege financing irregularities.
Eriksson was slated to go before Commissioner James Bianco
on Tuesday morning but he did
not appear because prosecutors in
the district attorney’s auto insurance fraud section were not prepared to file charges.
A news advisory from District
Attorney Steve Cooley’s office
stated that Eriksson “remains in
custody on an immigration hold
while the case is under review,”
adding that “a decision will be
made within the next few days on
whether charges will be filed.”
Courthouse clerks refer to
Eriksson as “the Ferrari man” and
indicate there is widespread interest in the already high profile case.
Sheriff’s spokespersons have
indicated that several financial
institutions, including the Bank of
Scotland, are attempting to re-
claim three vehicles from Eriksson—the crashed red Enzo, a
black Enzo and a black Mercedes
SLR McLaren racer—all of which
allegedly may have been brought
into the United States under questionable circumstances.
After a search of his Bel-Air estate last Friday night, Eriksson
was arrested and taken to the Inmate Reception Center at Men’s
Central Jail, where he was booked
on Saturday. He remains incarcerated without bail because of the
hold that the U.S. Immigration
agency has placed on his release.
The trio of high performance
vehicles were not street legal, yet
Eriksson and family members
drove them as if they were. The
McMerc was impounded when
Eriksson’s wife, allegedly driving
without a license, was stopped in
Beverly Hills last month. That car
had previously been reported
stolen to London’s Scotland Yard.
The black Enzo was seized during the search of the estate.
The sheriff’s department has
still not released results of DNA
analysis of an Eriksson saliva
sample that is expected to show
whether his blood was on the driver-side air bag and corroborate
whether he was at the wheel of the
Enzo when it crashed Feb. 21.
The red supercar was demonstrated to have been going 162
mph when it jumped a 10-foot
embankment. Eriksson’s bloodalcohol level tested over the legal
limit at the scene of the accident.
Any charges that may stem from
that accident would be misdemeanors and might pale compared
to those related to the allegations
regarding grand theft and any immigration irregularities where
there is the possibility of being
transferred to federal jurisdiction.
Neither Eriksson or his counsel
have been available for comment.
Eriksson was an executive with
a British-based electronic gaming
company that filed for bankruptcy
this year. He also reportedly
served prison time in Sweden for
counterfeiting and racketeering
charges in the early 1990s.

OFFSHORE
Editor:
Malibu is being presented with an opportunity to band together to oppose a project that has all the potential to prove
highly detrimental to the safety, integrity and beauty of our
coastline.
If the gigantic, global conglomerate, BHP Billiton, has its
way, they will locate a mammoth LNG (liquefied natural
gas) terminal offshore from our coastline.
While LNG has its place as an alternative energy source,
locating a terminal off Malibu must not be allowed. In doing
just the basic research, I have read that, in the past, accidents
ranging from spills, leaks, explosions, fires, vapor clouds,
etc. have all occurred at similar facilities, and that does not
even factor in the potential risk of a terrorist attack at such a
facility.
The harm that could be done to our coastal environment
from just one accident would be irreversible. I urge everyone
in Malibu who cares about preserving our coast to attend the
upcoming public hearing regarding this matter. It is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday, April 18, at Malibu High
School (30215Morning View Drive).
A large turnout from the residents of Malibu is essential if
we are to stop this project from happening.This issue knows
no politics. This is an issue that affects each and every one of
us. Residents, visitors, swimmers, surfers and anyone who
has ever enjoyed Malibu’s coastal tranquility should all pulltogether and raise awareness for opposition to this BHP Billiton LNG project before it’s too late.

Publisher’s NOTEBOOK

REALITY
Editor:
What can happen will happen.
A disturbing number of parallels can be drawn between
the current effort to bring liquid natural gas (LNG) terminals to the waters off Ventura County and Malibu and the
efforts in the late 1960s to maximize oil production in the
Santa Barbara Channel.
Then, as now, the local communities did not favor the plan.
The Santa Barbarans’ fears were not unfounded. Since
1886, residents had witnessed oil development off their
shores. They’d seen how oil companies would hastily erect
drilling equipment, extract oil as quickly as possible, and then
depart, leaving pilings and pipes—and toxic spills—behind.
Trying to forestall the petroleum industrialization of their
coast, local, county and state officials worked to prevent,
or at least delay, additional oil lease sales. In the fall of
1968, Union Oil, the operator for a high-bidding coalition
of four companies, received federal permission to erect two
platforms off Santa Barbara’s coast.
Then, what could happen did.
On Jan. 28, 1969, before one barrel of oil was commercially extracted, the blowout at Platform A blew a hole in
the ocean floor, causing thousands of gallons of oil to escape into the ocean. It would be more than a year before
the oil stopped.
Since then, there have been several major and minor oil
spills in Ventura County as well, including the 1991 and 1994
Santa Clara River oil spills and the 1993 McGrath Lake spill.
Murphy’s Law: Accidents happen.
LNG is not without its own history of accidents. There
are numerous scenarios that could lead to a horrific accident off the Ventura County coast.
BHP Billiton’s proposed Cabrillo Port is an experimental design for an off-shore floating platform. We’ve already
seen how Billiton’s floating platforms weather bad weather: Hurricane Katrina ripped the company’s “hurricaneproof platform” off its moorings and moved it 135 miles
away. Who is to guarantee that the Cabrillo Port floating
platform might not be pushed toward shore causing a
major spill during a winter storm? What guarantee do we
have during an earthquake? Or a tsunami?
There are some guarantees. BHP Billiton’s LNG project
(Letters are continued on page 10)
Malibu says ‘No’ to
those who would
endanger priceless
coastal resources
for personal profit!
T
here are critical junctures in every community’s history and one of them is literally, quite
literally, now looming on Malibu’s horizon.
Whether it’s one proposal or another, liquefied natural gas production interests have their sight
set on the Southern California coast. But constant
use of the words “Southern California” shouldn’t lull
anyone into complacency. Southern California in
many proposals for an LNG facility means a project
located within the local viewshed and directly affects
air and water quality in the coastal zone. Malibu
must join its northern neighbors and stand in vocal
opposition to an LNG terminal of any design and the
related threat to the environment, public safety and
personal interest that is inherent in these proposals,
irrespective of the ownership, the design and the proposed safeguards. The Malibu City Council has
gone on record, but that is not enough. There must a
strong protest from the people of Malibu in order to
counter the intensive lobbying of elected and appointed officials by out-of-area interests who see
nothing but dollar signs floating on the ocean’s surface. A trip to Australia and a steady flow of real or
virtual imported cigars may have convinced the governor that an offshore LNG plant is good business.
Funny how that sounds similar to the same “good
business” that Enron was supposedly doing when
that company had the White House’s blessings.
nfortunately, many of the political powersthat-be perceive Malibu as a relatively apathetic community. I was chatting with a
well-established Sacramento lobbyist two
weeks ago who said that the LNG interests think
Malibu is a pushover when it comes to a facility.
“They’re not marshalling their forces like the folks
in Oxnard.” Well, Malibuites have a chance to
prove them wrong. Next Tuesday, April 18, starting
U
at 6:30 p.m. at Malibu High School, Malibuites can
demonstrate that the lobbyists and the other smug
representatives of profit-gorging energy interests who
think we’re complacent are wrong. It may mean altering the day’s schedule, changing commute times, eating a late dinner—whatever it takes, the hearing has
to send a clear message of unified opposition. Parents
should bring children and make this an inter-generational show of political power. This is one time
when people cannot expect someone else—that proverbial “someone else”—to do their work for them.
There are no easy riders. The message isn’t complicated. We cannot allow LNG to rape the coast.

earthquake faults. It is guaranteed to expose our communities to major risks while doing relatively little to enhance
the local economy. As with the concerns of Santa Barbarans in 1968, the dangers to residents of Ventura County
and Malibu are being dismissed as “acceptable risk.”
Accidents happen, but only if we keep repeating our
accident-prone past.
The hue and cry by commercial interests that we need
increased supplies of natural gas is as suspect as Enron's
cries of energy shortages were. For the next decade, natural
gas supplies from Texas and New Mexico will remain strong.
In the interim, we should fully develop clean, renewable,
decentralized energy.
After 25 years of fighting the oil and gas industries, I'm
tired of talking about energy conservation. It‘s time we talk
about energy independence from the oil and gas industries.
California has the brains, resources and sunshine to declare that independence. Let’s put a solar panel on every
roof in our state.

POLITICS
Editor:
For the last several weeks, I have read many back-andforth letters to the editor in support of, or more aptly, in
protest of, the candidates running for city council.
It’s gotten to the point where before each Malibu election
I prefer not to read the local news at all.
How grateful I am, therefore, to have just read Steven
Kunes’ story, “The Not-So-Ugly Duckling,” which may be
the sweetest, most touching piece of writing I’ve read in
either of the Malibu papers since I moved here 17 years
ago.
I believe if the candidates and their supporters and
detractors were to read this story, perhaps we’d have kinder
and gentler city council elections in the future.
Chris Albrecht
Editor’s Note: There have been a few inquiries about Kunes’ selfproclaimed credits, which he demurs while requesting that his
essay be judged on its own merits. These two letters are a sample
of communications received about the article.
READER
Editor:
I reside in the San Fernando Valley but had the opportunity to visit Malibu for one day last week, where I was fortunate enough to pick up a free copy of The Malibu Surfside News and to read Steven Kunes’ magnificent article,
“The Not-So-Ugly Duckling.”
His story is...(loss for words). How beautiful, brief, to the
point and at the same time impeccably comprehensive, full
of inspiring examples and utterly moving to one’s very core.
I most loved the part about the East African tribe and
how each child is given his or her own unique song.
The beautiful thing about Kunes’ short story is that it’s
about self-love, loving others, loving God and seeing God
in ourselves. A simple reminder of the most important
things in life.
More people than the ones in Malibu should read this
story. It’s one of the most powerful things I have ever read.

that Ken Kearsley now uses the term.
Malibu’s Coalition for Slow Growth doesn’t need acknowledgement. We’ll be happy if it’s done beautifully and
some wetlands are restored.
Let’s hope planning will proceed in harmony, with joy(Letters are continued on page 12)

A Seriously Ill Malibu Canyon Bobcat Gets Help in Time
■
Animal May Have Been the Latest Victim of Local Rodenticide Use
T
hanks to the efforts of an area network of wildlife rescuers, an ailing
bobcat from Malibu is on the mend.
Concerned Malibu Canyon residents
contacted WildRescue, a local wildlife
organization, about a sickly bobcat in their
yard.
Plans were made to capture the animal
using a live trap. While healthy predators
can be difficult to cage trap, this bobcat
was so run down that it was seeking food
near humans.
This gave rescuers hope it could be
lured into the wire box. The third night
proved successful.
The bobcat was found to be dehydrated,
emaciated, and suffering from severe hair
loss—a sign of mange, or scabies, caused
by mites. Although mites from other
species may infest humans, zoonotic scabies is generally self-limiting.
Once captured, the bobcat was immediately transported to Wildlife Care of Ventura County where it received supportive
care, and a dose of medicine to treat the
mange.
A few days later, after the cat had
regained its strength, it was given a thorough examination by a veterinarian at the
Conejo Valley Veterinary Clinic.
While a blood test could not prove conclusively that the animal was suffering
from secondary poisoning—the result of
having eaten poisoned rodents— the
young male cat’s depleted immune system
suggests this is a viable theory.
Rodenticides, like the product d-Con,
available in hardware stores and supermarkets, are used liberally on school grounds,
parks, golf courses and in residential areas.
These poisons contain anticoagulant—the
two most common are bromadiolone and
brodifacoum.
It’s speculated that over use of these
chemicals has caused rodents to develop resistance, and that higher doses are being
applied.
When a predator, like the bobcat, feeds
on poisoned rodents, the chemical can build
up in its body, presumably affecting its
health and its ability keep parasites, like
mites, in check.
Recent research conducted by the National Park Service uncovered a high correlation between mange and the presence of
anticoagulant in bobcats.
Further studies are being done to definitively link coagulants to the deaths of local
wild predators. Funding is needed to test
liver samples from coyotes and bobcats that
are believed to be victims of poisoning.
For more information, contact Seth Riley
at NPS’s Santa monica Mountains National
Recreation Area at sethriley@nps.gov
The rescued bobcat is expected to make
a full recovery and will be released back
into the wild within a month or so.
Caring for debilitated wild animals, espe-
Room at the Beach
cially carnivores, can be costly. A growing
bobcat can consume close to $10 worth of
meat per day.
Contributions to help offset the cost of
this bobcat’s rehabilitation can be sent to:

FLAT-TOP BOBCAT—This tenacious little cat was found near death, suffering
from mange, which caused the loss of most of the fur on his scalp and back.
Despite his uncomfortable and dangerous condition, the bobcat survived long
enough to be rescued and is now in very good hands with a positive prognosis.

Whale Washes Up on Malibu Road Beach City Hall Was Not the Place to Be

SAD ENDING—This juvenile male gray whale first washed up on Point
Dume about a week ago when lifeguards pushed it back out to sea. It
washed up on Malibu Beach Road last Thursday where it remained until
Tuesday, when city employees arrived on the scene with a large
excavator digging a massive hole and buried it in the sand.
Not a calf, but still young, the gray measured 34 feet long. Although the
cause of death is unknown, the city biologist believes it had been dead for
about three weeks.
Probably on its way to the feeding grounds in the Bering and Chukchi
Seas, as part of the gray whales’ annual migration to the Baja lagoons for
mating, and back again, averages 10,000-14,000 miles round trip, and is
one of the longest mammalian migrations known.

was Danallan Atkins.
A homicide detective
said the incident was being

The Aquarium AGE
The Week of April 13–April 19, 2006
H
umor is sure to be the greatest ally this week, especially
as unexpected shifts turn
carefully planned schedules into
mush. And even if you are anticipating unforeseen events, don’t count
on that preparation exempting you
from upset or upheaval. Some of
these developments are so sudden
you could lose your train of thought
or miss your train. Also anticipate a breakneck pace, not
quite the speed of light, but close enough to qualify for
nicely simulated hyperspace. But don’t worry, this planetary altered state isn’t necessarily dangerous. It’s just
fluid. And that free flow can either be a nuisance, if
you’re clinging to a rigid perspective or position, or a gift,
if you’re hungry for change but couldn’t find the motivation to venture out into the unknown. Either way, the disruptions of the week will be easier to handle if laughter is
your first response. As many of you might have already
guessed, the source of excitement is Uranus, the planet we
can count on to challenge the status quo. Uranus has no
tolerance for stagnation. It lusts after what’s vital, and
when it joins forces with other planets, its eccentric leanings inspire idiosyncratic behavior. Two Uranian partnerships amplify unusual developments and choices this
week. First, a Uranus/Jupiter trine dispels despair, as it
simultaneously bestows an air of gratitude. This trine is
just beginning, but that’s no reason to underestimate its
presence. A positive Uranus/Jupiter contact provides a
hopeful atmosphere that helps us recognize the presence
of the divine. Just be sure to keep your definition of divine
open for interpretation. The power of Uranus/Jupiter provides a spiritual perspective that transcends the restrictions of formal religion. And because it is inclusive rather
than exclusive, this trine signifies the potential for all of
us, no matter what our personal beliefs, to restore our faith
in the possibilities of kindness toward each other and our
planet. The second Uranian interaction is a Uranus/ Venus
conjunction that is sure to manifest in a slightly less spiritual and much sexier manner. Venus is, after all, the goddess of love and beauty, and when she forms a perfect
union with Uranus in Pisces, erotic fantasies feel so powerful that it’s nearly impossible to tell what’s real. Pay
attention to those projections—they could have legs. And
if you are not inclined toward the sexual, this conjunction
also provides a keen creative eye and ear. As all sorts of

If you know your ascendant and/or your moon sign, read that too.
Aries (March 21-April l9): A subtle shift in attitude helps you to
move into action. Give yourself permission to shake off any lingering lethargy, and once you’re operating at full throttle, don’t
stop for negative musings on what took you so long.
Taurus (April 20-May 20): Sudden alliances could prove beneficial, but they could also feel unstable, especially when you try to
button down the details. Rather than push too hard, allow the situation to unfold. You won’t be disappointed.
Gemini (May 21-June 21): Your professional situation undergoes substantial shifts during the coming weeks. The best way to
use these changes to your advantage is to be grounded about what
you want to accomplish, and what you’re willing to do to achieve
those goals.
Cancer (June 22-July 22): Because sometimes words just don’t
do it, you might find yourself experiencing a sudden desire to
sing or dance a simple “hello.” Rather than deny those urges,
express yourself—it will do wonders for your spirit.
Leo (July 23-August 22): First rule of magic: whatever we focus
our attention on becomes our reality. Stop dwelling on the negative, and you’ll be surprised how quickly your circumstances turn
around.
Virgo (August 23-September 22): Stimulating conversations act
as an aphrodisiac, arousing strong inclinations toward impulsive
behavior. This week’s advice is the same as last week: look
before you leap.
Libra (September 23-October 22): Several career opportunities
open up unforeseen possibilities. Before you commit yourself to
any one avenue, reflect on the consequences of that choice. This
isn’t about right or wrong; it’s about whether or not you will want
the follow through.
Scorpio (October 23-November 21): The best way through the
maze is one step at a time. Too much is happening too quickly,
and you don’t want to get lost in the details. And when in doubt,
breathe deeply until you get your perspective back.
Sagittarius (November 22-December 21): It won’t be easy getting grounded or staying that way, but it is still the wise choice.
Do whatever it is you do to keep your feet on the ground, and
while it may not be the most exciting position, the stability is
worth the effort.
Capricorn (December 22-January 19): Find a body of water—
an ocean, river, lake, stream, or bathtub—and let yourself sit by
it, if just for a moment. Pay attention to the sound, feel, or texture,and let that awareness soothe any weary bones.
Aquarius (January 20-February 18): Expect surprises—lots of
them—financial and career related. Also anticipate being uncertain about what you want to do. Then take as much time as you
need making up your mind.
Pisces (February 19-March 20): Yes, the plot twists just keep
coming. Everything needs to be done at once, and you aren’t really sure you’re up to the task—but you are. Just prioritize your
goals, make a plan, stick to it, and you’ll do fine.

Little League SCOREBOARD
MAJORS
Angels 2–Dodgers 1
Another fine defensive
battle between two teams
playing well. This game
was decided by the player
of the game, Apollo Loomis, who bunted, stole second, third and home for the
tying run in the third, and
then delivered the gamewinning RBI double in the
fifth off Aevery Balin.
Angels 3–Yankees 1
A totally well-played defensive game for both
teams, highlighted by a
doubleplay for the Angels
(Simon to Gustavson to
Bream) and a game-winning, two-RBI double for
Adam Markun in the first
inning.
Yankees 12–Cardinals 1
Great hitting and base
running all-around goes to
the Yankees, with special
mention to Jack Oakey and
Sean Ryan for really stepping up to the plate with
three sacrifice hits, three
RBIs, two runs, a double, a
walk and three stolen bases
between them!
MIDDLES
Phillies 12–Pirates 6
The Phillies defeated the
Pirates behind excellent
pitching by Chase Packard
(three innings, one run)
and Conor McMahan (two
innings, one run). Hayden
Clark had two strong hits
to the outfield, and Tyler
Savitsky had two hits and
scored three runs to lead
the Phillies offense. Rasmus for the Pirates made a
great catch of a line drive
at first base, and Ceriaco
and Gabriel Rapaport both
had outstanding hits for
the Pirates.
Athletics 6–Pirates 3
The A’s bounced back
from a previous loss to the
Pirates with a solid combined pitching performance from Christian Slattery, Quin Sheridan and
Barron Hilton. Lee Oida
laid down a perfect bunt to
get things going for the A’s
in the first, but with the
bases loaded and no one
out, a heads-up fielding
play by the Pirates held the
A’s to one run in that half
of the inning and stopped
the rally. It’s always a
tough battle when these
two teams meet.

MALIBU COLONY PLAZA • 310-456-1269
A triple by Blake Sewell-Howell and a home run
by Kevin Baum edged the
Mariners over the Astros
in a close game through
five innings. The Astros
hit some balls hard to the
outfield, only to have
Mariners Addison Lewis
and Johnny Harrer make
key catches to stop the
Astros’ rallies. The Astros’
great pitching was on the
verge of holding the Mariners scoreless for three
straight innings when their
star pitcher, Skyler Radcliffe, aggravated an elbow
injury and had to stop.
Seven-year-old Miles Murray stepped in and courageously pitched under the
tough circumstances. In
the end, the game was
called after five completed
innings with the Mariners
ahead by four.
Giants 7–Tigers 6
Rangers 9–Orioles 8
It was a very competitive game played by the
Orioles and Rangers with
the lead changing four
times in four innings. The
Rangers won due to brilliant relief pitching by
Nathaniel Davis. The play
of the game was made by
Winston Churchill, the Orioles third baseman, fielding a hot ground ball hit by
Jordon Kerns leading off
in the bottom of the fourth
and throwing out by less
than a step.
GIRL’S MINOR
SOFTBALL
Royals 3– D’backs 2
In a classic pitchers duel,
both teams were held
scoreless for three innings
before the bats erupted in
the fourth inning. The Diamondbacks scored two
runs in the top half of the
fourth, but the Royals
rallied for three in the
home half to nip the
Diamondbacks by a run.

The Devil Rays’ beat by
the Malibu White Sox by
one run Friday at Bluffs

Rachel White, Madison
Mac Neil and Rosie Potts
were able to contain the
White Sox’s powerful hitters. Heads-up fielding by
Julia Wisnicki, Madison
Felman and Hannah Taylor
prevented any extra bases
by the White Sox’s most
experienced base runners.
Any deep fly-balls were
gloved by Anna Leigh Eisner, Sami Mac Neil and

was capped off in the fifth
inning by Devin DiMattia’s second of two deep
line drives that brought in
the winning run.

Engineer’s Rindge
Dam Report Says
It Should Remain
■ Study Is Not the Last Word
Proponents of an effort
to save Rindge Dam are
pointing to a technical
report prepared for the U.
S. Army Corps of
Engineers that they say
bolsters their case for
keeping the dam as an
historical landmark rather
than tear it down.
The report prepared in
June 2005 by Statistical
Research, Inc., of Tucson
Arizona, evaluated the dam
under the criteria for listing
in the National Register.
The report concludes that
“formal nomination for

Suzanne Goode, a senior
environmental scientist
with the Department of
Parks and Recreation,
described the report as not
a stand alone study, but
rather one of many more
feasibility studies of the
dam.
“It is not going to kill it,”
said Goode, about the main
thrust of the study which is
to determine if it is feasible
to remove the dam to
provide additional habitat
for steelhead trout.
Goode said this is one of
the first reports to be
completed and represents a
baseline study for many of
the other reports that will
be prepared for the Army
Corp of Engineers.
Preservationists,
nevertheless, are placing a
lot of weight on the study
and have made it clear the
report stands in their favor.
Louis Busch, who is one of
the committee members of
Preserve Rindge Dam,
said, “While the SRI report
finds the Rindge Dam
meets the requirements for
formal nomination, it
confirms the belief of
those who claim the
Rindge Dam should already be on the National
Register of Historic Places
due to the fact of the dam’s
direct physical connection
to the Adamson House,
which is already formally
listed on the National

New Production Set for Malibu Stage Company
Malibu Stage Co,’s Spring
Season opens with the production of Yasmina Reza’s comedy
“Life X 3” Friday, April 21. The
play, by the Tony Award winning author of “Art,” received
glowing re-views in the London
Times, “an extraordinary play ...
the writing is brisk, brittle, funny
and lethally accurate.”
“Life x 3” revolves around
two couples, one dinner party,
played out on three different
nights, with explosive results.
Acclaimed TV/stage and film
director and longtime Malibuite
Don Reiker, when asked why he
chose “Life X 3” to direct said,
“it’s timely and it’s a magnificent play ... wonderful for
actors.”
The Malibu beach resident
ON STAGE—The cast of “Life X 3” includes John
Henry, Alison Lees-Taylor, Corey Volovar and Michael
Bayouth. The set was designed by Jeff Robinson and
costumes are by Julie Parr.
boasts a 37-year career in TV,
film and stage. He and his wife,
Patricia Jones, a writer, created
the highly successful “Bronx
Zoo” with Ed Asner. Reiker also
produced and directed the popular series “Fame” with Debi
Allen. The talented couple, who
have been married for 33 years,
also were staff writers of the
“Mary Tyler Moore Show.”
His recent theatre credits include “Angels In America” and
George Lucas’ “Reckless.”
In an interview at his beachfront home on a sparkling Malibu day, the director explained
the difference between work on
film and on stage.
“There is so much freedom
on the stage. You can develop a
character, go deeper. In film,
there’s always the time limit. On
stage you can have weeks to
hone the material. You can stay
with your vision without interference from the network or the
studio.” In his praise of Malibu
Stage, Reiker said, “It has done
some first-rate productions and
has gained a reputation for solid
professional work. It’s such a
pleasure to have this rare theatre
in our midst.”
In its 14-year history, Malibu
Stage Co. has earned recognition with the critics. Along with
the local press, newspapers like
the L.A. Times, LA Weekly and
the Hollywood Reporter make
the trip to Malibu to review the
theatre’s productions—one,
“Private Jokes, Public Places”
moved on to Broadway.
Last month’s “Readings” of
four new plays drew a “standing
room only” audiences” says
Malibu Stage Co. president and
producer, Jackie Bridgeman.
“We are really excited about the
Reza play.”
Following “Life X 3” at the
end of May will be David
Mamet’s “Oleanna” with a surprise cast to be announced.
“Life X 3” opens May 21 and
ends May 14.
Performances are Friday and
Saturday at 8 p.m. and Sunday
matinee at 3 p.m.
Tickets are $20 and can be

Major Landowner Beginning to Sell Off Extensive Malibu Holdings
time as one of the largest
commercial property owners in Malibu.
Perenchio, over a decade
ago, purchased the collection of commercial and residential holdings from Reco
Land Company owned by
the Crummer family. The
patriarch of the well-known
local family had acquired
over the years some of the
arguably choicest commercial and residential properties in Malibu.
Attempts by MBC to develop what some observers
call the “crown jewel “ of
the Civic Center, the Chili
Cook-Off site, ended when
the voters turned down a
complicated development
agreement and city officials
subsequently were able to
turn Perenchio into a willing
seller. The proposal had
involved the potential development of several prop-
erties.
Consequently, one of the
largest commercial properties in the Civic Center was
retired after the part-time
Malibuite agreed to sell to
the city. Escrow closed on
the property at the end of
this month, according to
city officials.
Richard Volpert, an attorney for Perenchio, who was
involved in the negotiations
with the city on the CookOff site’s purchase said he
was not aware of any concerted effort by his client to
systematically sell off his
holdings.
“The [Chili Cook-Off
sale] was a stand alone. The
city pushed so hard,” said
Volpert, who said he did not
know of any other plans.
In what could be considered another “stand alone”
land transfer, Perenchio also
agreed to donate 10 acres of
open space currently used as
a private putting green to the
state after he and his wife
die. The property backs up
to the Malibu Colony area
and restrictions placed on
the acreage will offer limited
use by the public for passive
recreational activities. The
land transfer was the result
of a complicated settlement
with the state after it was
discovered the golf use was
unpermitted.
However, there are reports that Malibu Bay Company is currently in the
process of selling the commercial property on the corner of Pacific Coast Highway and Trancas Canyon
Road. Calls to MBC president David Reznick were
not returned.

through a spokesperson several weeks ago acknowledged his company is considering acquiring the commercial site that includes
HOWS Trancas Market,
Starbucks, Zuma Beach
General Store, a dry cleaners and other businesses.
Rosenfield and his partners indicated they are currently “looking over” the
Trancas property, but said
they are not in escrow, had
not closed escrow or purchased the property. Subsequent calls to Rosenfield
and his partners were not
returned. Volpert said he
was not aware of any sale of
the property.
It is thought that any sale
of the Trancas commercial
property would include
what is usually referred to as
the old Trancas Riders and
Ropers property, which
could be problematic for
builders because it is next to
Trancas Creek and includes
bottomland currently eyed
by some agencies for expansion or restoration of Trancas Lagoon. Perenchio, at
one time, wanted to build
two houses on the vacant
acreage.
It has been confirmed that
Malibu Bay Company is
selling two residential
beachfront acres across the
street from the Trancas cen-
ter for $18 million. The
property is currently listed
with a local agent.
Some real estate experts
speculate that the so-called
Ioki property owned by
MBC that is located on the
northeast corner of Stuart
Ranch Road and Civic Center Way could be the next in
line to be put on the market.
Another commercial property owned by MBC is located on Pacific Coast Highway between Heathercliff
Road and Portshead Road.
The 19-plus acres consist of
a V-shaped flat surface that
descends into Point Dume’s
gulches.

Sheriff’s REPORT
BEER BUST
Lost Hills Sheriff’s deputies were called to Malibu West when someone dented and scratched the
hood of a car that was locked and parked in front of
the victim’s residence by smashing a beer bottle on
it. The vandalism took place between 3 p.m. on
March 24 and 9 a.m. March 27. The victim
believed the incident took place the night before
because he had been awakened in the middle of the
night by a loud noise. The deputy observed a 1/4”
dent and several deep scratches. The bottle had
been cleaned up prior to his arrival and there were
nos suspects or witnesses.
SURPRISE GUEST
Deputies received a report that a $30 bottle of
whiskey was stolen and a sliding glass window—
valued at $100—had been broken at a Pacific Coast
Highway residence between 9 a.m., March 20, and
2 p.m., March 25. Although the house was locked,
there are no permanent residents. Because the
owner is trying to lease it, it is fully furnished. The
deputy on the scene said that the suspect entered
through the kitchen window because there were pry
marks and the glass was cracked. While there, “the
suspect made himself quite comfortable” for a few
days: using the shower, sleeping in the bed and
drinking the whiskey. Nothing else was disturbed
or taken from the home. The deputy was unable to
ascertain how long the suspect was in the house.
SECURITY BREACH
Two security cameras valued at $1,000 were taken
from the wall surrounding a residence on Portshead
Road. The incidetn ocured on March 28 between
6:30 and 10:30 a.m. There were no witnesses to the
crime.
•
NICE TRY
The owner of a classic 1960s automobile called the
Lost Hills deputies when his neighbor called stating
that his car was out in Pacific Coast Highway and did
not appear to have accidentally rolled out of the residential garage. He walked out of his home to find the
car, which had been left unlocked, in neutral gear and
apparently moved by someone. The victim stated to
the deputy at the scene that the garage door was not
locked because, due to structural problems, it doesn’t
close properly. The deputy surmised that this was an
attempted burglary because several storage boxes that
had been in the garage between the door and the car
had been moved and replaced after the car’s relocation. The incident occurred between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m.
on March 30.
COPPED COMPUTER
The owner of a car that was parked at a south Malibu restaurant returned to find several items, including an expensive laptop, stolen while he was at dinner. The incident occurred on March 30, between 8
and 10 p.m. The victim stated that he had used the
valet parking at the establishment, that he had
requested the car be locked while parked and that the
valet had retained the keys while he dined.
TAKEN TREES
Three Japanese plum trees in 15-gallon containers,
valued at $315 and a Japanese maple worth $105
were stolen from outside a constructions site office
located at Piuma Rd and Woodbluff between April
4 at 6:30 and April 5 at 7:30 a.m. There were no
suspects.
GNARLY GNEIGHBORS
A west Malibu resident reported that more than
$1,000 in damage was done to his car on April 3
between 2 and 9 a.m. The deputy on the scene noted a
one-foot-long scratch, as well as several smaller
scratches, on the vehicle’s fender, and believed the car
was “keyed”—scratched with keys. the victim
believes that his next door neighbor caused the damage because of an ongoing feud. He stated that in the
morning, his neighbor was banging on the front door
and appeared to be be very upset, complaining that the
suspect had when he parked his car on the street and
boxed the neighbor into a space. When the victim
moved the car, he noticed the scratches and called the
deputies. The deputies attempted to talk to the neighbor, but no one was available at the residence.

windows and windshield with an unknown object,
causing $300 in damage. There were no witnesses or
suspects...A car parked on Broad Beach Road was
vandalized between 8 p.m. on March 29 and 8:30

Elizabeth Ann Carpol was a very beautiful and
loving wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, and
friend. Her life was cut tragically and senselessly
short on January 17, 2006 because of a drunk driver.
We will no longer feel the joy of her protective
hugs and the warmth she so openly gave. Nor
will we see the smile that lit up every room she
entered.
No one said, "I love you" more and meant it more.
We will never forget her beautiful presence and the
abundance of love she added to the lives of those
fortunate enough to know her. None of us will
ever laugh as hard, smile as large, or dream as big

T
hese dogs need you more than ever! Unfairly, dogs who are a few years old do not get adopted
easily and they make the very best pets. Calm, loving, trained and healthy. Please give our
wonderful friends here a chance at love and life. Their time at the shelter is limited, they truly need
an open heart and loving friend. To save an animal friend is the least that we can do.
Neither The News nor any of the animal volunteers can determine the
appropriateness of a particular animal for a prospective adopter.
