Sr. Mary Campbell, 74, a Sister of St. Louis, a former principal and teacher at OLM Catholic School, and, in recent years, the assistant to Monsignor Sheridan, was killed in the accident. Authorities said she was declared dead at the scene. Sheridan, who is 94, and Kmiec, who is 58, both were suffering from what were first described as serious injuries. They were airlifted to the UCLA Medical Center’s Trauma Center. Kmiec was at the wheel of the 2009 Hyundai Accent, a subcompact vehicle, when it reportedly drifted off the road onto the shoulder and went into a drainage ditch. Campbell was in the back seat of the car, and Sheridan sat in the front passenger seat. No information is available yet about whether seat belts were worn by any of the three people. The CHP states that the accident is still under investigation. Sheridan underwent surgery last week and reportedly remains in serious condition. The first statement issued to the OLM family stated that doctors “have stopped most of the internal ACCIDENT VICTIM—Sister Mary Campbell of Our Lady of Malibu died at the crash site. She will be buried in her native Ireland following local services. bleeding; they are treating several broken ribs; and they are watching him carefully for signs of infection and/or pneumonia.” The latest word this week was that his condition is now being described as stable. Sheridan reportedly remains “in an induced coma and on a ventilator.” He is not able to receive visitors. Contact is said to be limited to close relatives and Father Bill Kerze, the current pastor of OLM. Updates are regularly circulated among parish members who have established an accident information network. They indicate that Sheridan still has bleeding issues, but there is a decided note of optimism to the updates. Kmiec is expected to be released from the hospital shortly. He is expected to make a full recovery from injuries, which have been downgraded to moderate. Both Sheridan and Campbell were born in Ireland. The monsignor is from Corrickmaquirk, County Longford. Campbell hailed from Kiltimagh, County Mayo, which is where she will be buried alongside other members of her family. Both of the two are from large families where relatives served the church in various capacities. Campbell had just returned from visiting her mother in Ireland. Campbell had been a member of the order of the Sisters of St. Louis for 52 years. She, Sheridan and Kmiec were returning from an event at Louisville High School for the 60th anniversary of the founding of the Woodland Hills Motherhouse. There was a mass at 10 a.m., followed by a special luncheon celebrating the Feast of St. Louis, the patron of the order. Louis was the 13th century French King Louis IX, but the order, founded in post-revolutionary France, is mostly Irish—the original eight nuns of SSL came to this country from Ireland in 1949—and retains an Irish brogue. Sheridan came to OLM 45 years ago. He has been a radio commentator, authored 14 books, written numerous pamphlets and articles, and continues to minister to parishioners. Kmiec, who was appointed to the Malta post by the Obama Administration, was sworn in September 2009, and took leave from his position as a constitutional law professor at Pepper- AFFINITY—Malibuite and Ambassador to Malta Douglas Kmiec (left) and Our Lady of Malibu Pastor Emeritus Monsignor John Sheridan are longtime friends.

BY ANNE SOBLE supporter Cynthia Bollinger said Subdivision Near Kanan Dume Road Will Hearing Is Set for Murder Require a City General Plan Amendment Defendant in PCH Crash Applicant Seeks to Put Four Homes on Single-Family Lot Charge Is Use of Vehicle as Weapon T he city’s Environmental Review Board met last week to take a close look at a request to subdivide a nearly six-acre lot near Kanan Dume Road into a four-lot subdivision. The 5.71-acre parcel is located on Galahad Road. The existing 1950s house would be torn down and the septic tank would be abandoned to carve the property up into four one-plus acre lots. A remainder lot of about a half-acre would be deed restricted as open space, according to a planning department staff report. Building pad sites were identified on each of the four proposed lots, and the staff planner indicated grading would be minimal because much of the lot is flat. However, planners suggest the real issue, the reason the ERB panel is looking at the request, is the cumulative impacts of allowing four homes on the existing single family lot, which is zoned RR-1. “Therefore, future construction of four single-family residences and associated development will be evaluated for potential cumulative environmental impacts in the initial study prepared for this request,” the staff report noted. The ERB’s recommendations and the application, which will require a City of Malibu General Plan amendment, will be heard by the city’s planning commission. The subdivision request is being watched closely to determine if subdividing single-family lots in the west end of Malibu will become a trend. Western Malibu is where there are still a substantial number of larger lots that are zoned for single-family development. The potential for increased traffic and infrastructure demands, such as water, could become an issue. BY BILL KOENEKER A defendant charged with the murder of a Malibu teen was in court last week, according to authorities. Sina Khankhanian, 26, who is charged with one count of murder in the death of Emily Shane, was ordered to appear in court on Oct. 21 for a preliminary hearing. Khankhanian, who is being held on $3 million bail, was arraigned on the murder charge several months ago. The felony charge includes a special allegation of using his vehicle as a deadly weapon to commit murder, the District Attorney’s office said. The felony complaint states Khankhanian “unlawfully and with malice aforethought murder[ed] Emily S.” If convicted, the defendant faces a maximum prison term of life with the possibility of parole. Deputies reported the San Fernando Valley man drove his vehicle off the roadway on Pacific Coast Highway east of Heathercliff Road, fatally hitting Shane before he crashed into a power pole and overturned the vehicle. Shane’s death has spawned a public safety movement campaign for Pacific Coast Highway. BY BILL KOENEKER SEPTEMBER 2 • 2010 MALIBU SURFSIDE NEWS PAGE 3 Former Tree Farm for Sale CCC Requests Lighting Plan Extension ■ ‘Boutique’ Campground Plan Is Abandoned A large swath of vacant canyon land, which was once at the center of controversy when a developer wanted to build a boutique hotel camping facility, is listed for sale. The 93 acres owned by Richard Weintraub were once at the center of fierce opposition, when Weintraub announced plans to build an upscale camping facility. The property, which is listed for over $8.7 million, no longer has the permitting for the boutique campground facilities, according to Weintraub, who said the acreage, which was a former tree farm and nursery, comprises 33 residential lots. Weintraub said he is selling because the high-end retreat he planned for Malibu he built in Palm Springs. “There is another retreat already opening up in Malibu,” he added. Visitors call the canyon location magic when walking along the creek bottom and discover the redwood grove, alders and 100-foot tall sycamores. Weintraub said he is not the one to develop the property, but thought the vacant land would make a great ranch for someone or the property could be developed with a few homes. Weintraub, one of the partners who developed the city-owned Malibu Lumber Yard, has been in the news lately because of the partners’ willingness to sell the ground lease they have to another partner or to include additional investment partners..

The assessor reported that Malibu had a whopping assessed valuation in 2010 of $10,917,152,901. The amount of change from 2009 is $127,125,901. The county overall experienced a 1.67 percent decrease from last year “primarily caused by the ongoing decline in residential real estate values and a first-ever decrease in the inflation factor,” according to the assessor, who indicated for most communities that decrease represents a loss of revenue for public services and schools. There were 400,000 home and condo values that received lower assessments on properties purchased between July1, 2003 and June 30, 2010. To put Malibu's fortune into perspective, cities such as Beverly Hills, Agoura Hills. Calabasas, Manhattan Beach, Santa Monica, West Hollywood and Westlake Village all suffered declines from last year. Malibu ranked 13 in the 20 highest valued cities in the county, according to the assessor. BY BILL KOENEKER ■ High School Football Games Will Be Played During Daylight A t its September meeting in Eureka, the California Coastal Commission is expected to approve a time extension of up to one year on a Local Coastal Plan Amendment submitted by the City of Malibu that would permit lighting of the main athletic field at Malibu High School. According to the report, on July 22, the executive director “determined that the City’s amendment submittal was in proper order and legally adequate to comply with the submittal requirements of Coastal Act. However, commission staff is now requesting an extension “in order to allow adequate time to review and analyze the amendment.” In March, the Malibu City Council unanimously approved amendments to the city’s municipal code and Local Coastal Program to open the door to permitting athletic field lighting at Malibu High School’s main field, following the Coastal Commission’s unanimous rejection of a lighting plan proposed by the Santa Monica Malibu Unified School District last fall. The council expanded on the number of nights recommended by the city’s Planning Commission to accommodate nighttime practices at MHS Monday through Thursday to 7:30 p.m. during Pacific Standard Time, which generally begins on the first Sunday of November and ends on the second Sunday of March. The council also approved a maximum of 18 Friday night games ending at 10:30 p.m. The council also agreed to eliminate the word “temporary.” Several council members suggested that permanent lighting could potentially have less of an environmental impact than temporary, removable lighting. Observers have said that, because the plan submitted by the city greatly exceeds the number of nights rejected by the earlier SMMUSD attempt, it is unlikely to receive CCC approval as written. Athletic field lighting at the “Home games will be on ” oooSaturdays school is currently prohibited in the City of Malibu’s LCP and the municipal code. The Malibu High School property is also subject to a deed restriction prohibiting lighting at the campus that was a requirement imposed by Coastal as part of a 1999 Coastal Development Permit issued to the school. Prior to 2009, unpermitted temporary lighting had been in use at the school for a limited number of football and homecoming activities for six years. A district plan, unveiled in 2008 as part of the Malibu campus’ Measure BBfunded improvements, that included installation of permanent lights for a maximum of 200-plus nights a year, generated public outcry from west Malibu residents, and touched off a series of chain reactions that observers say has polarized the community. In an apparent effort to circumvent the City of Malibu’s authority and take its request for a night lighting permit directly to the Coastal Commission, the Santa Monica Malibu Unified School District Board of Education passed a resolution in 2009 exempting the district from the City of Malibu's municipal code. However, the district's attempt to obtain permission for 14 nights of lighting at the Malibu campus was unanimously denied by the coastal agency, on the basis that it violated the LCP. The district then turned to the City of Malibu, to attempt to revise the LCP. The amendment submitted by the Malibu City Council was developed by city staff with input from a series of public meetings by the Zoning Ordinance Revision and Code Enforcement Subcommittee and the city’s Planning Commission. As part of the LCP amendment, a Conditional Use Permit would be required before the school district could proceed with a lighting schedule. Any changes to the initial agreement would require a new CUP application. The school district has exempted itself from Malibu municipal code but must comply with the LCP, the council said, allowing the city to maintain local control over lighting use. This year, the football team will be playing home games during the day on Saturdays. “Due to the well-publicized plight of field lighting at Malibu High (a.k.a. Friday Night Lights), home games will be on Saturdays, with the JV starting at 10 a.m. followed by the Varsity kickoff at 1 p.m.,” writes Malibu City Councilmember and football advocate Laura Rosenthal. The first game of the fall season is Sept. 4, at MHS. BY SUZANNE GULDIMANN Old Malibu Colony Post Office Annex Building Is Scheduled to Close ■ Bulk Mail Service Will Be Accommodated at the Point Dume Station but Extra Mail Truck Parking Remains an Issue Before the Malibu Colony Plaza was built, the current Post Office Annex building at the Malibu Colony was central Malibu’s only post office. The building was constructed during the building boom in the late 1950s, when the Colony Coffee Shop was right around the corner, and the only market in town was the Mayfair. The old brass post office boxes are long gone, as is the long main counter, with its smell of wet paper tape and old linoleum. Now the lease is up, and the annex facility, which currently houses Malibu’s bulk mail operation and passport application services, will be closing its doors and moving to Point Dume. Malibu Postmaster Caren Gonzalez told The Malibu Surfside News that the main Colony Post Office will remain unchanged, and the move, which is expected to take place at the end of the year, will not affect delivery services. “There will be no disruption of services,” Gonzalez said. There will, however, be some changes at the Point Dume Post Office, which is currently being remodeled to accommodate the addition. According to Gonzalez, 40 Point Dume post office boxes will be renumbered. Notices will be sent to the current box holders to explain the change. Passport service, previously available at the annex, will continue to be available at either the main Colony office or at Point Dume. The location has yet to be decided.

As a Malibu resident, and a mom, I hope that my community will look at the facts (MPAs do “not” limit non-consumptive activities like surfing or diving) and think about the bigger picture. MPAs preserve marine life and provide fish for future generations, and if we really treasure our beautiful coastline and ocean, then we should support them. The proposed MPAs in Malibu are a careful compromise between fishing interests and environmental representatives. The compromise off Point Dume protects just “half” of the kelp forest and rocky reef as a reserve, leaving the other half open to fishing. Locals will still be able to go fishing at Point Dume’s Big Kelp Reef, as well as almost the entire Malibu coastline, including Escondido and Paradise Cove. We know that MPAs give fish room to grow larger and reproduce more. By developing MPAs now, we will have more fish in the future. Point Dume is an especially rare place where a variety of habitats can be protected in one small area. This will benefit all of us, including fishermen fishing outside the MPAs, in the long term. I also want to clarify that access is not an issue under the Marine Life Protection Act. MPAs do “not”open new access points or restrict other beach and ocean uses. In fact, locals that enjoy SCUBA diving, snorkeling, surfing, and recreational kayaking will enjoy seeing more abundant and larger marine life within Point Dume’s proposed MPA. I’m a Point Dume local. I love the ocean, my children love the ocean, and I want to preserve this incredible spot for all of us. If that means small areas are protected from fishing, then I think it is a small sacrifice that is well worth making! Nichole McGinley GIVING BACK Editor As a local surfer and fisherman, I am out on the water almost every day. Santa Monica Bay is a special place and needs all the protection it can get. Marine Protected Areas will help future generations enjoy the ocean like I do. MPAs aren’t going to cut off access to surf or dive spots. They’re just going to let the fish off areas like Point Dume replenish themselves. We can’t just keep taking from the waters. We have to start giving back. Boun Prasert CAMPING Editor: I emailed 2549 people about the city’s upcoming Santa Monica Conservancy Draft EIR meeting in Malibu, as well as the meeting to decide the final vote in Pacific Palisades. Of the 13,000 Malibu residents, including the 2549 people emailed, about 60 residents showed up (less in Malibu). Do the math. Joe Edmiston and his Coastal Commission pals won because of one word. Apathy. Folks didn’t show. So they don’t get to complain. The vote had only one no vote—Mayor Wagner. Approved were 54 total sites—Bluffs Park (35), Corral Canyon (17) and Ramirez Canyon (2). Most interesting was the missing contingent from Malibu Road. I guess Malibuites don’t care that people will be using the restroom right next to their homes. Or maybe they don’t care about massive construction above a very narrow street. It’s the same public apathy that got the city into the real estate business, resulting in the pathetic faux Malibu Lumber Yard now for sale, the Performing Arts Center, which should have been left as is, and could have been a money maker, and, of course, Legacy Park. We’re not Newport Beach, nor are we Laguna Beach, so at the very least lets show up at meetings and gather together to stop the parking meters. We don’t need them, and we (Letters are continued on page 9) Have a Safe and Happy Labor Day Weekend-Drive Carefully Publisher’s NOTEBOOK Road Safety—It’s Not Just PCH Malibu’s traffic safety focus in recent months has been on the dangers of Pacific Coast Highway. However, last Wednesday’s tragic accident on Mulholland Highway was a jolting reminder that the roads that empty onto PCH along the full length of the community have their own perils. Mulholland Highway is regarded as one of the great scenic driving roadways of the world. It may be outranked by Germany’s Autobahn, Switzerland’s Grimsel Pass, the Los Caracoles Pass in the Andes, Hana Highway in Maui, and the penultimate course, the Jebel Hafeet Mountain Road in the United Arab Emirates, but they are not located in the Southland’s backyard. As many a fallen motorcyclist and injured auto passenger has learned too late, Mulholland is a road that demands respect. Painstakingly carved by cadres of manual laborers, the road followed the path of least resistance, and this resulted in twists and turns that can catch the unsuspecting off guard. Malibuites’ ongoing concern for traffic safety is not misplaced. Anyone can find themselves in a catch-22 situation when traveling at the speed limit or crawling in bumper-to-bumper traffic. Each situation offers its own particular hazards. There is no place for cell phone use, texting, or any other distraction. And in how many cases, have tasks as mundane as changing the radio station, or adjusting the air conditioning, led to a vehicular disaster? It has always taken major community effort to get the kind of law enforcement necessary to monitor the local canyon roads, which have even claimed the life of a CHP officer in his own sports car. There is something uniquely human in the desire, or perhaps it’s the need, to test limits, among them the limits on speed. The driver of the yellow Lamborghini that came within inches of a silver mini-van on Mulholland was doing that last Saturday, as were the nine motorcyclists who encircled the red pickup truck on the route to Leo Carrillo State Beach and then deafeningly revved their engines as they passed the vehicle illegally on a curve. Traffic safety is an “every-road concept,” and Malibu residents are making a fatal mistake if they think PCH is the only nemesis. Any road is a perilous one, if those behind the wheel don’t give it their full attention, and they don’t assume that those driving around them are doing the same.

There’s plenty of empty office space in the shopping center at Heathercliff Road. If people don’t like what’s happening, they can’t be apathetic. They have to get up, show up, shout out. Susan Tellem HYPOCRISY Editor: Apparently the world was saved from another messianic pontification by U2’s Bono recently in Russia. Bono inadvertently spared Medvedev a lecture on Wednesday regarding Russia’s proposed highway through Moscow’s renowned nature preserve, the Khimki forest. (LA Times 8/27/10) Perhaps Bono should focus his attentions on the Edge’s and co-developer Derek Quinlan’s environmentally destructive plans here in Malibu on Sweetwater Mesa; for five 10,000+ sq. ft. ridgeline houses in the Santa Monica Mountains. Apparently these U2 tax refugee rockers think it’s OK to destroy pristine natural habitat on a massive scale if THEY are the beneficiaries. U2’s music rings hollow for me now. Personally, I don’t want to hear these hypocritical rockers peep one more word about saving the environment. Practice what you preach! Pamela Campbell SOLUTIONS Editor: Having worked with our LASD to salvage PCH wreck victim’s lives and limbs for many years, the following education and conclusions might help our understanding the enigma of our towns’ highway and intersecting canyon roads. With that background positive solutions might be brought into focus. A global way to view car wreck, and injury, and fatality etiology is to include driver error, fatigue, medical issues as subcategories of driver distraction just like impairments (drugs, alcohol, etc.); obstructions in the road, weather, highway, winding canyon roads, freeway, impaired vehicles, and inadequate traffic oversight and control (human and mechanical) may be other categories. Delineating categories might help community understanding so we don’t misdirect our attention and anger [to law enforcement] when things go wrong. Thinking through the foregoing may help us to understand what truly happened, the finite role our watchful Sheriffs Traffic Control Unit or any other enforcement can do to prevent vehicle disasters in Malibu. Cars have become an essential part of life but it costs what it costs and more enforcement is not the cure. All who drive need to be mindful of driver responsibility. Daniel D Hillman MD GREENING Editor: Help! Help! Eastern Malibu needs help. Every Friday, Saturday and Sunday the westbound traffic backs up 2-3 miles westbound at Cross Creek Road. It takes people 30 to 45 minutes to get to Cross Creek depending on where they MALIBU SURFSIDE NEWS PAGE 9 start. I believe this is because of a very short green light westbound. I timed it last Sunday and the green westbound lasted 60 seconds, not nearly long enough to accommodate the flow of traffic. Meanwhile six cars and a few pedestrians crossed PCH while thousands of motorists waited. Once Cross Creek is passed the traffic flow speeds up. There may be other lights contributing to this paralysis, but without studying this to death, City and Caltrans, how about performing a quick fix and increasing the green light time at Cross Creek, the Pier and McDonalds to at least two minutes? Rich Davis TOLLING Editor: If you read the statistics on the last weekend of July in Malibu, we need help. When you see the discarded beer cases (not six packs) lying by the side of the road it is no surprise of the number of accidents on PCH. Why not make PCH a toll road in the summer months? June through September from Topanga Canyon to County Line. Malibu residents get a free pass sticker. The revenue could pay for the toll booths, added highway patrol, clean up the trash and help maintain the beaches. A toll road would cut down on drivers under the influence, accidents, the z traffic (they can use 101) and less traffic jams. A toll road would help bring PCH back from the sirens, accidents, and the never ending noise and pollution. A safer highway. This is not an elitist issue, it is a safety issue. Marian Hall Louis Busch LOSS Editor: When I heard the dreadful news about Sister Mary our family was in San Francisco dropping off her two former students to college. I honestly could hardly put one foot in front of the other. How could there be a world without that beautiful light in it anymore? That smile that greeted each one of us was the most honest and divine light I have ever known. Every child who got to have Sister Mary in the 4th grade was in for a year of something that we as parents couldn’t even put our finger on. We all knew our kids were going to get a lifelong lesson in kindness, honesty, pureness and genuine love for all creatures big and small, which seemed somehow elusive in this world filled with the cacophony of undesirable media messages, scandalous clerical accusations and very real economic pessimism. Through it all, each day she greeted each of us with her beautiful smile and to quote Mother Teresa “Everytime you smile at someone, it is an action of love, a gift to that person, a beautiful thing.” I, for one, knew the world was a better place every time I saw Sister Mary’s smile. One of the many things Sister Mary taught my kids is really tugging at my heart right now. Every time a siren would go by OLM, which was often because of that dangerous canyon that took her life, she would always tell the kids to stop what they were doing and say a prayer to God for the safety of the person to whom the sirens were heading for. I choose to think that over all the years that she taught every child to do that, there had to be lots of people who heard those sirens, stopped what they were doing, and prayed for whomever was injured. How devastating that it was her but I am certain that Sister Mary was embraced by all those prayers as she began her journey into the arms of her beloved God.

According to a press release, approximately 400 items of suspected stolen property were recovered. The items reportedly included 163 cell phones, two laptop computers, wallets, several gift cards and rare coins. Also found at the location were “narcotics and narcotics paraphernalia,” according to the report. Detectives detained Neil Jarrod Hefner, a resident of the city of Tarzana. According to the report, there is evidence that Hefner committed a number of vehicle burglaries over the course of several months in the Los Angeles and Ventura County areas. The arrest is the third this summer potentially connected to local incidents of vehicle burglary. The suspect was arrested and his bail was set at $50,000. He is reportedly currently on parole for narcotics. Several of the recovered cell phones have reportedly already been traced to burglary victims from the cities of Westlake Village and Thousand Oaks. The suspect may have also been involved in Malibu-area burglary incidents. Detectives are continuing to investigate the burglary series and are asking the public to assist in identifying the recovered prop- SUSPECT—Neil Jarrod erty.

MALIBUITE TO THE RESCUE According to reports circulating on the Internet, Malibu resident and actor Gary Busey came to the rescue of an auto accident victim on Aug. 24. Busey reportedly gave the 911 dispatcher the location and details of the incident, assisted one of the crash victims, and helped direct traffic until emergency personnel arrived. The victim reportedly sustained minor injuries. The victim's family publicly thanked the longtime Malibu resident for his assistance. DISAPPEARING DOLLY A $1000 camera dolly track, approximately 10 feet long and three feet wide, was reported stolen from a commercial film shoot on Point Dume on the afternoon of Aug. 19. The production manager informed sheriff's deputies “that transportation drivers loaded the camera track into a van and returned it to the equipment rental company.” An unidentified representative for the equipment company verified that one of the tracks was missing and called to see if it was accidentally left behind. PURLOINED PISTOL A .38 caliber handgun was reportedly stolen from a dresser drawer in the master bedroom of a residence in the Los Flores area on Aug. 21. The victim stated that the weapon, which was “wrapped in a magazine,” was missing from the bottom of the drawer. No other items appeared to have been taken. CONSTRUCTION CAPER Construction site burglars allegedly removed an assortment of tools valued at $3025 from behind a cinderblock wall at a construction site on PCH in west Malibu between Aug. 13-16. The victim stated that he placed the items behind “a small cinderblock wall with a tarp over them.” Sheriff's deputies observed that there were no security devices on the property other than the front gate. CLOSE CALL A Malibu Road resident reported a burglary attempt on Aug. 9. The victim told Lost Hills sheriff's deputies that he left the residence for approximately an hour during the afternoon to run errands. When he returned, he discovered a sliding glass door open, the handle apparently broken off. A quick search of the home revealed that several dresser drawers in the bedroom were open and their contents disturbed. The victim reported that nothing appeared to be missing. There were no witnesses and no suspects. CONTINUING CAR CRIMES Despite the arrest this week of one possible car burglary suspect, vehicles parked on PCH at west Malibu beaches appear to be the current top pick for smash and grab crimes. Two purses-valued at $60 and $20, $600 in cash, two California driver licenses, a $200 wallet, miscellaneous credit cards, and two smart phones, were removed from three vehicles parked at [35000 PCH] on the morning of Aug. 13. The victims returned to find the front passenger-side window smashed on all three cars, parked one behind the other, and the items missing. A fingerprint technician was requested. A $20 wallet, assorted credit cards, a California driver license, two pairs of binoculars and $160 cash were removed from a vehicle parked on PCH near El Pescador State Beach on Aug. 12. When the victim returned from the beach he found the rear passenger-side window smashed and the items missing. On the same day, an assortment of wallets, cell phones, credit cards were removed from a vehicle parked in the same area using the same MO.

She always showed me sweet affection and the love a Grandma gives to the first born grandchild of her first born daughter...my Mom. Her friends, and there appeared to be a wide circle, felt she was their leader, and in fact elected her President of “The Eastern Star,” a women’s organization— giving her a silver gavel, to indicate officialdom, although I cannot imagine her ever using it, since I do not remember her ever leaving the house. In fact, in memory my Grandmother was illequipped to run a meeting of any sort, except perhaps a card game,which she did each week at her dining room table with its multiple extensions to accommodate a dozen or more ladies. No, to my mind there was no indication that she had magnetism to any degree that would cause women to follow her authority on any subject you might think of. She was a sweet, fat, unsophisticated homebody who was my Grandma. She’d never been anywhere, never seen anything, never traveled, never ate out (Grandpa liked to eat at home). Although no dope, I do not remember her as sharp, not particularly knowledgeable, certainly not extensively educated, she wasn’t wise, had no special insights, and yet she was the center of a crowd of women. I remember as a little boy playing under Grandma’s dining table, among the legs of her “girls,” while they played cards. I believe Grandma served apples. I don’t think she served coffee. My grandma’s coffee was depressingly awful. Its difficult to think of anyone facing the prospect of drinking it. It was dark and thick and looked like mud. Stirring it was a test of strength, and taking the first sip of it was a test of will. How much of your tongue were you willing to sacrifice for friendship’s sake? The Malibu Surfside News is, of course, a local paper with a circulation of loyal readers—none of whom is my Grandma, for I don’t believe her ghost is glaring at this copy as I write, and so I can safely say that Grandma was an unbelievably bad cook. Everything she ever made was overcooked. Liquids were searing, and anything that might have been edible was burned black. My Dad would not permit us to eat at my Grandma’s house as a family. My mother, at least in this one thing, acceded to his need not to be embarrassed by refusing to eat whatever it was. Without Mom and Dad I had the misfortune, while in my Grandma’s charge, to eat...something. I was a skinny kid, and rarely ate much, Grandma had the idea that she must get me to eat, and so she resorted to bribery. I did not like food burned black, even though Grandma insisted that well-done food was better for me, and so, playing upon her knowledge that I liked chocolate, she would promise me a chocolate cake. And, dope that I was, I would go for it. I would struggle with my “lunch” and be rewarded with (her specialty) a “Moon” cake. She called it a chocolate cake, but whatever it was, it was a lump of coal. Indigestible. I would say, and this went on for years, “Grandma, this ‘moon’ cake.” But she would insist it was a chocolate cake, although I was plainly undeceived. Grandma and Grandpa lived on the third floor of our apartment house, and we lived on the fifth. We could see their kitchen from our kitchen, down an air shaft between two wings of the building. Of course I could smell everything that Grandma was cooking or baking, because it smelled like a fire down there. And so the day came when I refused to go down for lunch. “I’m baking you a chocolate cake,” she called up. “You’re baking a ‘Moon’ cake,” I insisted. “Lanny,” she said, “you always said you wanted a chocolate cake. Today you get it.” Twelve o’clock she called, “Lunch time.” “Did you bake a chocolate cake, Grandma?” “A chocolate cake,” she State Legislature Approves Proposed Flood Control Bill Car Crimes ■ District Would Receive Greater Taxing Authority in Unincorporated Areas A bill recently approved by the state legislature could have substantial consequences on the wallets of taxpayers in the unincorporated areas of Los Angeles County. Assembly Bill 2554, sponsored by Assemblymember Julia Brownley (Dem.), whose district includes Malibu, would allow the Los Angeles Flood Control District to levy property-related fees to its current authorization to levying of taxes or assessments. AB 2554 would authorize the county’s flood control district to impose a fee in the unincorporated area of the county to pay the cost and expenses of carrying out projects and providing services authorized under existing law, according to the text of the bill. It requires any fee that is imposed to be levied and collected together with and not separately from taxes for county purposes. The existing law establishes the district to provide for the control and conservation of flood, storm and other waste waters and authorizes the district to levy taxes or assessments on all taxable property within the district, after a vote of property owners. Brownley and her supporters contend the bill is another tool for county flood control district officials in their efforts to comply with the Clean Water Act and the increasing regulations to comply with the many Total Maximum Daily Load requirements. The district’s authorizing statute allows the district to impose only taxes or assessments not fees. This bill expands the district's authority to collect those fees and to add those property-related fees to its current authorization for levying taxes or assessments. The bill would also allow the district to put a fee on a local ballot, asking the voters to raise revenue to fund clean water projects. Sponsors of the measure say the county currently faces critical and very costly storm water and urban runoff pollution challenges mandated by the Clean Water Act. “This bill is essential to the operation of the Los Angeles County Flood Control District as it tries to eliminate significant pollution imperiling the health of eight million residents,” Brownley said. If voters choose to approve new user fees, the revenue would be allocated for water quality programs in the following ways. Ten percent would go for the administation of the programs, forty percent would go to cities and unincorporated areas within the district and 50 percent would be allocated to the nine watershed regions in the district.

I finished with whatever she gave me to eat, and she brought me my chocolate cake. There it was. “Eat it sweetheart. Here’s a glass of milk.” I gave it my best shot, knowing immediately what she had done wrong. She had taken a box of unsweetened cocoa and somehow baked it with no sugar— and served it burned to a crisp. I could not get it down, even pouring the milk down my gullet to try to drown it. I smiled at her but she could see I didn’t like it. “See,” she said, “I knew it. You don’t really like chocolate cake.” You cannot fool your grandma.

The victim returned to find her $170 purse, $150 wallet, $50 cell phone, $90 in cash, a driver license and a credit card missing. Two laptops, valued at $800 and $1000, a Spanish passport, a $400 camera and $100 cash were removed from an unlocked vehicle parked on PCH at Zuma during the afternoon of Aug. 21. A wheelchair, valued at $200, was reportedly stolen from a vehicle parked in the underground garage of a west Malibu condominium complex on Aug. 19. Security personnel at the complex reportedly investigated the surrounding area for the wheelchair, but were unable to discover any witnesses or evidence. BEACH REPORT Unseasonably cool weather and cold water continues to keep beach numbers lower than usual. A southern swell from New Zealand brought surfers flocking to the beach midweek, but Los Angeles County Lifeguards reported just 206,425 beachgoers during the last weekend in August. There were 4133 preventions, 53 rescues, 1473 ordinance enforcements, 38 emergency vehicle responses, 55 minor medical responses, 19 major medical incidents, 11 agency assists, three missing children and a SCUBA diver in distress over the period of Aug. 27-30. On Aug. 27, lifeguards called for sheriff’s department backup after responding to a report of an unruly group at Westward Beach. The suspects, described as drunk and disorderly, attempted unsuccessfully to flee the scene. On Aug. 28 lifeguards responded to a medical emergency at Zuma’s Tower 9. The victim, who appeared to have suffered a seizure, was transported to an area hospital. On Aug. 30, 11 triathlon swimmers apparently unable to cope with sizable surf and a powerful rip current, were rescued at Zuma. After briefly reaching the low 60s, water temperature has dropped again into the 50s.

Five planets are retrograde (and if you count Chiron, it’s six), which means no matter how determined you may be to make forward progress the actual pace of daily life is glacial. Expect frustration, yours or others’ to erupt over all sorts of situations, large or small. Also anticipate previously solid ground to be less reliable, a condition that could turn attitudes about the future even more uncertain and confused. But that’s not all. We are also at the end of a long, hot summer that was made all the worse by a simultaneous season of unrelenting astral intensity. And while most of us tend to be wistful about the end of summer, this year, you may find yourself wishing it were over – the summer of our discontent behind us, and the glorious days of fall offering the promise of relief. But we’re not there yet. Currently, we are still in the throes of Mercury Retrograde, which continues until September 12, but ends so late in the day, it might be best to consider September 13 the final day. (And if you include the three-day rule as Mercury “turns around” and gathers momentum, it would be best to wait until September 16.) Because Mercury drives the mechanics of daily life – communication and travel – its retrograde phase is never a good time to initiate new plans or projects, and always a good time to review what’s already in motion. Jupiter retrogrades back into Pisces on September 9, where it will stay until January 22. As Jupiter moves back into Pisces, it conjuncts Uranus, also retrograde in Pisces. (Their conjunction is exact on September 18.) Jupiter/Uranus contacts are believed to be beneficial, even if the immediate benefit isn’t completely obvious. For instance, this conjunction could precipitate the move out of a relationship you don’t think you’re ready to leave, only to discover that its dissolution has set you free. Or, it could unexpectedly remove obstacles you once thought insurmountable, and replace them with a clear path toward your goal. Another possible expression of a Jupiter/Uranus conjunction, in Pisces, is a deep experience of divine guidance and an unmistakable sense of serendipity. Of course, not every manifestation will be momentous; for some, this conjunction could simply be a long relaxed exhale that puts you back in your body, feet firmly planted on the ground. But for even more, those feet could land in deep emotional waters, revisiting recent decisions and reexamining the consequences of those choices. Don’t be dismayed if you have a hard time staying in present time this week and next. The “gravitational” pull of so many planets moving behind instead of ahead is likely to pull hearts and minds back to the not-so-distant past. Rather than resist this tendency, use it to your advantage, by having the courage to look at what the summer intensity brought to the sur- The PUZZLE face. Retrogrades are about opportunities to reconsider previous choices, as well as to refine prior decisions. Go over the facts, but also reflect on your emotional reactions to certain situations. There’s no need to take any unnecessary action. This is simply an opportunity to think about all that’s been set in motion. If you know your Ascendant and/or your Moon Sign, read that too. Aries (March 21-April l9): The focus is on relationships issues, particularly how you structure partnerships of every kind, including your relationship with yourself. Examine your intentions, and you’ll gather valuable self-awareness. Taurus (April 20-May 20): Try not to let work-related situations spiral into a major case of existential angst. Yes…you have been through this before, and yes, again, you need to continue to work on creating a strong internal center. Gemini (May 21-June 21): You are in a powerful creative flow, but before you say, “not so” consider this: creativity is not limited to an art or a craft. It is an attitude, and it has the power to transform the mundane into the extraordinary. Cancer (June 22-July 22): Embrace the longing for quiet and solitude, and instead of spending your time and efforts being social, give yourself permission to withdraw. You won’t miss anything by taking care of yourself. Leo (July 23-August 22): Certain conversations may be hard to have, but that’s no reason to dive into denial and pretend those exchanges are important and necessary. Rely on your innate courage and your generosity, and speak your truth. Virgo (August 23-September 22): Rather than resist reviewing the details of certain transactions, welcome the chance to revisit a persistent situation. Set the record straight, accept responsibility if it’s yours, and move on. Libra (September 23-October 22): While your specific situation isn’t necessarily improving, the overall environment is, which translates into many opportunities for increased clarity and insight. Seize this moment, and you’ll make progress. Scorpio (October 23-November 21): You’re walking a fine line between realizing what needs improvement and brooding over what cannot be corrected. Ease the tension by exploring the notion of the reconciliation of opposites. Sagittarius (November 22-December 21): Interactions – negative or positive — with members of your community trigger dynamic emotional responses. Be prepared to be surprised, and you’ll handle the drama. Capricorn (December 22-January 19): An old idea is inhibiting your ability to find the solution. If you’re willing to stand the situation on its head, you might discover a new perspective that solves the puzzle. Aquarius (January 20-February 18): Don’t be surprised if you hit a growth spurt – even in the middle of a retrograde – that moves you into a new phase of accelerated personal transformation. Pisces (February 19-March 20): The goal is being disciplined enough to stay present. Because if you can stay focused, your hard work will eventually deliver exponential benefits – and that means m-o-n-e-y.

During last week's heat wave, Varvarigos reported what she describes as a “hurricane” of animals arriving from dehydration and heat exhaustion. “There are not enough natural water sources and the one's that are available are evaporating quick,” Varvarigos said. “We have taken in nine birds today alone suffering from heat exhaustion,” Varvarigos explained. “A great horned owl was the first OASIS—A hanging birdbath offers birds like the oak titmouse (above) safety from ground predators, like domestic cats.

When our volunteer arrived on the scene the GHO was lying down under a hedge of thick shrubs with his face in a small mud pit of warm water. Aside from having parasites, he is critically dehydrated and is suffering from severe heat exhaustion. He is also very thin. “After five hours of IV fluids, he is alert and his eyes are bright. He will need several days of fluid therapy before we can begin treating his parasite infestation.” Temperatures have dropped again, but with September and Santa Ana season around the corner, hot weather is expected to return. Varvarigos suggests that area residents who would like to help their wild neighbors should make fresh water available by placing elevated birdbaths on their property. Water at ground level can also help a variety of wildlife species. She recommends a simple large bowl placed on the front and back lawn. “Remember to change it a few times a day as it will become warm very quickly,” she warns. Birdbaths and water basins should also be cleaned frequently. Reptile experts at the Los Angeles County Museum of Natural History recommend that water bowls located on the ground have a “lizard ladder” in the form of a branch or pile of small stones, to prevent reptiles from falling in and drowning. Shallow bowls reportedly present less of a drowning hazard for small animals, and are more inviting to birds. The Audubon Society recommends placing birdbaths safely out of reach of predators. Locating basins under the branches of a tree may offer birds a greater feeling of security, since shelter is close at hand and the water source is screened from aerial predators. A shady location will also prevent the water from becoming too hot to drink.

One and a half years old. Loves everyone, good with other dogs and children. Very smart, trained, healthy and happy. A fitness fanatic—he would be an excellent work-out companion/spotter. Loves to run, walk, talk and organize— a sturdy, safe fence around a large yard would be ideal. He is a good listener, very loyal, and sometimes just likes to “chill” and listen to music or play chess.
