City Planning Commission Approves Design Lost Hills Beach Team
Changes for Rambla Pacifico Road Rebuild Price Tag Is $500,000+
I ROA Succeeds in Getting Amendment to Coastal Permit I Weather Determines Coverage Needs
T
he Lower Rambla Pacifico
Road Owners Association
went back before the Malibu Planning Commission last
week seeking an amendment to
their coastal permit for design
changes to the road construction.
The planning panel approved a
redesign that allows for building
two retaining walls, one 18-foothigh wall and one eight-foot
high wall, along the edge of the
approved roadway.
During construction of the
roadway, according to the staff
report, grading occurred outside
of the LRPROA easement and
encroached onto the Malibu La
Costa Owners’ Association property addressed as 3850 Rambla
Pacifico.
As the grading on the property
was not approved by the
MLCOA, a stop work order was
issued by the city. Since that
time, the ROA submitted plans to
restore the cut areas on the La
Costa property and everyone
agreed about the scope of work.
“However, the two parties
could not come to an agreement
regarding additional grading on
the MLCOA property, which
could have resulted in allowing
the two approved gravity retain-
ing walls along the edge of the
MLCOA property to be buried
beneath finished grade. Without
an agreement to complete grading outside of the roadway easement on the MLCOA property,
the exposed gravity retaining
walls will measure 18 feet and

eight feet in height as measured
from finish to grade.
“Since the finished height of
the two retaining walls exceeds
the maximum height allowed
under [coastal plan], they could
not be found in substantial conformance with the walls
approved under the coastal permit. Therefore an amendment to
the approved permit with the
inclusion of a variance from the
maximum retaining wall height
permitted in the [coastal plan] is
necessary to move forward with
roadway construction,” wrote
Senior Planner Stephanie
Danner.
Danner concluded that due to
the fixed location of the roadway
easement and the existing topographic conditions in the area
along the lower portion of the
reconstruction area, the height of
the proposed gravity retaining
walls is necessary to construct
the roadway approved under the
coastal permit approved by the
planning commission.
The commission also granted
approval for the installation of
drainage improvements.
The proposal is located along
two parcels entirely within the
Rambla Pacifico Road right-ofway, according to city documents.
Last December, the road association appeared before the city
council, which approved vacating
a portion of Rambla Pacifico
Road, and agreeing to take a nonvehicular access for public use
across the vacated right- of-way.
As the city attorney explained
it, the ROA is going to give the
city the easement for a non(Continued on page 9)

he Lost Hills Sheriff ’s
Station has released its
annual proposal for the
2011 Summer Enforcement
Team—better known as the
Beach Team. The total cost for
the 2011 season is anticipated to
be $503,781.44, according to the
report.
The team is deployed at Zuma
from Memorial Day through the
week after Labor Day. This
year’s team will consist of the
equivalent of one sergeant, six
deputies, one dedicated traffic
car, two motorcycle deputies and
two community service deputies,
the report states. The Beach
Patrol also usually includes the
services of the mounted police.
“With the exception of Memorial Day holiday, the team will
deploy only on weekends, for
eight hours per team member per
day, until Friday, July 2, at which
time they will deploy throughout
the week and weekends,” the report states.
“Also beginning July 2, the
team will deploy for 10 hours per
day maximum coverage during
the peak summer months.
“On Monday, July 4, the
Summer Enforcement Team
deploy increases for the remain-
der of the summer months by the
equivalent of one additional motorcycle officer and one additional community service officer. The
team will officially conclude its
deployment on Sunday, September 11.”
“There are no changes this year,
except some new members,” Lost
Hills Sheriff’s Station Liaison
Tracy DeMello told the City of
Malibu’s Public Safety Commission last week. She added that
in 2010, changing the shifts from
eight to 10 hours “statistically
improved productivity by more
than 30 percent. “[The department]
still hasn’t put together [final]
numbers for funding,” De Mello
said. “There could be a four percent increase or decrease.”
DeMello reported that the 2010
beach team reported few problems, in part because unusually
cold weather kept crowds to a
minimum.
“There were just two complaints,” she said. “A helicopter

Sewer Line Construction Is State Lagoon Project Opponents Keep Up
Impacting PCH Motorists Efforts to Raise Funds for a Court Fight
■ Project May Provide Advance Sense of
Effect Local Construction Might Have
M
alibu city officials issued a
warning last Friday about
the start of construction on
a new wastewater pipe along Pacific Coast Highway in Pacific
Palisades that began this week on
Monday which will intermittently
impact southbound traffic
All of this week, workers have
closed up to two southbound lanes
along PCH between Entrada
Drive and the Annenberg Community Beach House at night.
One southbound lane will remain open at all times, no impacts
to the northbound traffic are expected. All traffic lanes will reopen in time for the morning rush
hour.
Work impacting highway traffic will cease temporarily for one
month until sewer installation begins on April 11, according to
Malibu city officials.
The City of Los Angeles is the
lead agency for the project, which
consists of construction of a
4500-foot-long gravity relief
sewer with about 3100 feet of the
sewer built on PCH and 1400 feet
in the parking lots of Will Rogers
Beach and the Santa Monica
Beach Club, according to the City
of Los Angeles Department of
Public Works.
The potential construction impacts include reduced southbound
traffic lanes throughout construction, two lanes open from 5 a.m.
to 9 p.m., one lane open from 9
p.m. through 5 a.m.
During the summer 2010,
LADPW completed upgrades on
eight low flow diversion structures, including several in the
Pacific Palisades area. The LFDs
divert urban runoff to the sanitary
sewer system during year-round
dry weather, preventing stormwater from discharging to Santa
Monica Bay, except during rain
events.

‘Porcelain Project’ Proponent Persists
■ Proceeds Could Fund Wastewater Plant
It seemed apparent from the
last time when the Malibu City
Council was asked to vote on the
“The Porcelain Project,” a
planned art exhibition of recycled
toiletry objects, that members
really did not want to go on
record approving or disapproving
the use of discarded sinks, toilets
and urinals from the remodeling
of the library for an art exhibit
celebrating the 20th anniversary
of the city’s incorporation.
However, it appears Councilmember Pamela Conley Ulich,
who previously told the council
members she wanted to organize
the community art project, wants
to force the issue and is again asking council members to approve
the Porcelain Project or what
some wags have derisively called
the Potty Project.
Conley Ulich next week is ask-
ing the council to give an official
endorsement by agreeing to
accept the proceeds of the community art project to apply towards the cost of the city’s
planned Civic Center wastewater
treatment facility and approve the
use of two of the art pieces for
display at the Michael Landon
Center at Bluffs Park for nearly
three weeks in April.
At the previous meeting, Councilmember Lou La Monte cautioned the city could become the
“butt” of every joke by taking on
such irreverence when it was trying to improve its image, especially in light of spending upwards of a $100,000 by hiring its
own publicist for an image
makeover.
“We are trying to upgrade our
image. I’m cautioning you,” he
Planning Panel to Hear View Plan
Malibu officials recently announced the Malibu planning
commission is scheduled to take
public testimony and deliberate on
a recommendation for the proposed citywide view restoration
ordinance on April 5. It will be the
sole item on the agenda.
According to planning department documents, the proposed
view restoration ordinance would
establish and provide a right of
action for property owners in the
city to restore pre-existing views
from private residences that have
been “significantly obstructed by
landscaping on neighboring properties.”
Planners noted an equally important goal of municipal officials
is “to restore pre-existing views
while considering the privacy,
safety and stability of hillsides,
natural and rural settings of the
city and acknowledging the importance of trees and foliage.”
Planners were quick to point out
foliage that meets the definition of
Environmentally Sensitive Habitat
Area or native trees “is exempt from
restoration actions.”

Bicycle Workshop Assigned Tentative May 7 Date
■ Cyclists Say They Hope the Meeting Will Be Participatory
T
he City of Malibu Public
Safety Commission has tentatively selected May 7, 9
a.m.-noon, as the date and time for
a city-sponsored three-hour bicycle workshop to discuss the hotly
debated issue of cyclist and
motorist safety on Pacific Coast
Highway.
Commission chair Carol Randall
and commissioner Chris Frost,
who is a cyclist, were chosen to be
on the ad hoc committee to organize the event at the commission's
March meeting.
Cyclist Eric Bruins, a cycling
advocate who teaches bike safety
at USC, said he hoped the workshop would be “more participatory,” with a “structure that encourages dialogue.” Bruins outlined a
wish list of subjects for the event,

their concerns as well as those of the city.
including a report from law enforcement representatives on bicycle collisions and “action items for
law enforcement and Caltrans.”
West Malibu resident Hans
Laetz continued to campaign for a
bike lane. Laetz said that the City
of Malibu is required under the
Local Coastal Program to have a
bike lane on PCH.
“I want to hear what the city will
do to meet its obligations,” Laetz
said.
Commissioner Frost reminded
the speakers that the workshop
will be only three hours long. “The
workshop [format] is only way we
would be able to talk back and
forth, converse,” he said. “It was
meant to get club heads and people who are major players, the
people who can disseminate
[information], to get the cyclists,
sheriff, city, us, all on the same
page. It’s designed to clear up a lot
of the points that people aren't
clear about.”

Traffic Safety for All
Happy birthday, City of Malibu. A lot has been done in 20
years. But there have been some pathetic failures, too.
I became acquainted with the city’s quiet policies against
pedestrians or bicyclists using PCH over the last year, when
Trancas Country Market and I reached an agreement over
their expansion project. The developer has agreed to pay for
a bike lane, turn lane and sidewalk at Trancas, and give it to
the public.
But the city actively fought us on the sidewalk and bike
lane. They said installing a sidewalk at Trancas Creek will
encourage people to walk along PCH. And the city opposes
a bike lane at Trancas because it would “confuse drivers.”
We’ve approved a workable compromise on all that, and
construction starts soon. But the city’s overall operating presumption was revealed to me: people walking or biking along
PCH are bad, cars are good. This is repeated all across the
city. Even the city’s own recent building renovation on PCH
at Webb Way fails to include a sidewalk or safe bike lane.
It turns out there is a state law, SB 908, that requires the
city to implement a trail for bikes and pedestrians all along
the coast. The California Coastal Trail is supposed to be as
close to the ocean as possible, but use detour trails around
lawful private development or inaccessible shoreline. The
wet sand trail proposed by the city does not cut it.
The city’s own General Plan and the LCP together have 17
sections that promote people or bikes using PCH. They
require that the city come up with a citywide bike plan, support a PCH bike lane, and build a pedestrian path all along
the highway. The city’s only efforts have been a $900,000
bike route at the wrong end of town, where PCH already
functions safely as a bike route.
When confronted with this, city officials routinely retreat
to the “it’s Caltrans’ highway” default excuse, and claim the
city is powerless on PCH design or operation issues. One
city official says flatly that “Caltrans will never approve a
sidewalk on state right of way, I guarantee you that.”
Wrong on both counts. The official Caltrans policy for
State Route 1 is to encourage a safe mix that encourages
bikes and pedestrians. Caltrans has narrowed lanes, slowed
traffic or built bike lanes on highways all over the state, like
at Ojai or Mammoth Lakes. Several Caltrans officials have
told me the impetus for change has to come from the city,
and Malibu has never moved in that direction. As a result,
PCH is frozen in amber because the city has been content to
leave it that way.
More than a decade ago, residents of eastern Malibu killed
a city plan for modest bike safety improvements there. Since
then, across the city, bicyclists and pedestrians have been
struck and some killed, and the 1947 roadway layout has
been left almost unchanged. This cannot continue.
At its board meeting last week, the Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy took the first steps to force our city to
meet its obligation to its own residents and beach visitors. It
unanimously voted to demand that Malibu drastically overhaul its proposed Trails Map because it is woefully insufficient without PCH trails, bike lanes, and access to the coast.
Malibu has to decide right now on a traffic safety plan that
accommodates the reasonable needs of motorists and nonmotorists alike, and respects the parking and access needs of
coast dwellers for left turns and parking as much as possible.
Encroachments onto state property must be removed, just
like Busch Drive. Some curvy sections near Big Rock will
be problems, but the city needs to be in control of the plan.
If the city continues to fail here, it invites outside agencies
to write up their own plan for safe coastal access via PCH,
and that won’t be pretty. A total ban on residential parking
on state property is possible, to make way for bike and
pedestrian recreation, no matter how awful that would be for
our neighbors. Remember camping?
Inaction is not an option, Malibu. We’ve had 20 years of
that.

Publisher’s NOTEBOOK
Who Picks Up the Tab?
One of this week’s letters to the editor promulgates an interesting theory of property rights. It
postulates that when owners of private property
face a major structural expense that might impact
their “quality of life,” the public should pay for it.
The construction of a wastewater treatment system that will add to the value of parcels in the area,
as well as bring them into legal compliance, is expensive. When key physical components of a private structure fail, it is the owner’s job to do the repairs, whether they are for a collapsed deck, a broken air conditioning unit, a failing septic system,
or anything else that becomes part of the property.
How can residents say that they are being penalized “just” because of where they live? That’s
where the problem exists. The property owners of
Malibu Country Estates, Trancas, Paradise Cove,
Broad Beach, Rambla and everywhere else that
major construction projects have dented local pocketbooks faced up to responsibilities related to their
parcels because they are the direct beneficiaries.
Similarly, how can one argue that one’s wastewater treatment upgrade serves the public when
the only people impacted if a house is shut off are
its inhabitants? To say that wastewater treatment is
similar to “on call,” or “as needed,” services, such
as police and fire, ignores the 24-7 need for access
to plumbing facilities by those same inhabitants.
The fact is most Malibuites are elated if they
never have to avail themselves of the fire and police services for which they gladly pay. Can anyone say the same about their household plumbing?
Everyone in the community who has had to undertake a major repair or upgrade, especially one
that is not cosmetically enhancing, such as a septic
system, has gritted their teeth and done the work.
And as for preservation of one’s quality of life, who
determines what that means? If the quality of life for
senior citizens, who are on pensions and Social Security, and whose 30-year-old home is likely paid for
in full, is impacted, there are programs that can help
them. If the quality of life to be guaranteed is that of
high rollers who have mortgaged their house to the
hilt and already spent every penny, I doubt that many
people in Malibu will get in line to subsidize them.
There are people in the community who did everything they could to prevent the city from addressing Civic Center area wastewater issues until
the state forced its hand. This project might have
cost half or less than the current price tag, if it was
started 10 or more years earlier. Because politics
prevailed for so long, resolution of this major issue
is more difficult and costly for everyone involved.

MHS Day of Silence Calls for End to Bullying of LGBT Sudents
Over 200 Students Took Part in Event Started 15 Years Ago That Now Involves Thousands
Bullying and Harassment of
Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and
Transgender Students Continues to Be a Serious
Problem on Campuses
in Communities All
Across the Nation
alibu High School
students participated in the Day of Silence on Friday, March 4, a
student-led national event
that draws attention to lesbian, gay, bisexual and
transgender name-calling,
bullying and harassment in
schools, according to a
press release.
The event was originally
organized at the University
of Virginia in 1996 in response to a class assignment on non-violent protests. According to the Day
of Silence website, as of
2008, “Hundreds of thousands of students from
more than 8000 K-12
schools, colleges and universities organized Day of
Silence events.”
The Gay, Lesbian and
Straight Education Network conducted a survey
in 2007 that showed 86.2%
of LGBT students reported
being verbally harassed,
44.1% reported being physically harassed and 22.1%
reported being physically
assaulted at school in the
past year because of their
sexual orientation. Additionally, 73.6% heard derogatory remarks such as
“faggot” or “dyke” frequently or often at school.
Sarah Prunier, an English teacher at Malibu
High, who organized this
year’s event said, “About

Public Safety Commissioner David Saul expressed concern that the
team could be short staffed.

Friday, and I have not
heard of any harassment or
bullying. The kids are really great about this day.”
Prunier told the Malibu
Surfside News, “This is the
fourth or fifth year we have
done the Day of Silence, so
the kids all know what it is
about and how important
our school feels it is to promote acceptance, kindness,
and compassion towards
all.”
Prunier is in her sixth
year as advisor to the campus’s Gay-Straight Alliance, an organization that
“campaigns to bring awareness to the issue of accep-
tance of all people, bullying and about suicide risk
gay teens experience.”
She said, “This year, we
put up pictures of celebrities who were out as gay
and put statistics on it about
harassment, bullying, etc.
and said, ‘Aren’t you glad
this person survived?’”
Prunier concluded, “The
kids all know what the Day
of Silence is about and how
important our school feels
it is to promote acceptance,
kindness, and compassion
towards all. [Ending all
forms of harassment and
bullying] is a goal, and we
keep trying to achieve it at
Malibu High one day at a
time.”
The Gay-Straight Alliance meets Thursdays at
lunch in Room 200, alternating with another club.

Tax Extension Ballot Planning Panel Recommends Trail Incentives
Essential to SMMUSD I Commercial Projects Would Not Be Included in Plan
I Budget Outlook Is Bleak
A
n interim report on
t h e bu d g e t wa s
approved at last
week’s Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District
board of education meeting. The report discussed
multiyear budget projections in two scenarios.
The first scenario assumes the governor’s budget is adopted and voters
approve tax extensions that
at this point have not been
put on the ballot. Additionally, Proposition 98
funds, which are determined by general fund revenues, per capita personal
income, school attendance
growth or decline and other
factors, would be limited to
$19 per Average Daily
Attendance.
The ADA is calculated
as number of days of
student attendance divided
by the total number of days
in the regular school year.
A student attending every
day would equal one ADA.
Scenario 2 assumes the
tax extensions are not approved and that Prop 98
funds are recalculated,
resulting in a decrease to
$330 per ADA. Deficit
spending would increase
to $3.6 million per year.
This scenario “may be too
optimistic,” according to
Jan Maez, district assistant
superintendent and chief
financial officer, as “there
is potential that without
the tax extensions and
because they are unable to
make the necessary reductions in other sectors
of the state budget the
legislature looks again to
education for additional
reductions.”
Both scenarios account
for AB 3632, a mandate
vetoed by former Governor
Schwarzenegger that shifted responsibility of payment for case management,
residential and therapeutic
costs of students in residential treatments, and
outpatient mental health
services to the district.
The expenses amount to
$250,000 per month.
Maez explained, “Budget planning for the next
several years is complicated by the uncertainty
that exists around the
revenue limit changes that
might occur and the resolution that will ultimately
be found for the mental
health issues resulting from
the loss of funding in AB
3632.
“At this time, the district
clearly has sufficient funds
in the scenarios to sustain
current programs throughout the 2011-12 fiscal year.
However, without significant revenue changes
beyond the next fiscal year
the board will be forced to
consider a number of cost
cutting measures.”
The report stated, “Estimated amounts of additional reductions have
ranged from a low of $300
T
he Malibu Planning
Commission last
week approved recommending the city council adopt a Local Coastal
Program Amendment to
create development incentives for trail dedications.
The purpose of the
LCPA, according to municipal planners, is to create
an incentives plan for trail
dedications offered within
the city that would establish a new discretionary
request called a trail dedication incentive or TDI
that would be available to
property owners seeking to
provide a trail dedication as
part of a residential development application. The
TDI would not be available
for commercial properties.
The TDI would allow
“minor deviations” from
required development standards in exchange for an
offer to dedicate or OTD or
direct grant of a trail
easement, according to city
planners.
“One deviation from the
code is allowed for each
dedication,” said the city’s
Associate Planner Joseph
Smith. “It is more of the
carrot approach than the
stick. There is more criteria
than just being on a [trail]
map.”
Don Schmitz, who is the
chair of the city's Trails
Committee and a land use
consultant, agreed that the
"stick was never successful,” referring to the
California Coastal Commission's attempts in obtaining OTDs.
Schmitz said there were
several “significant differences,” between what
the committee handed in
and what the planning
panel got from the staff.
He said those were the
percentage of the deviation
and special accommodations for unique important
links to allow greater
incentives, “That is [a]
hugely important [difference],” he added.
Another developer Norm
Haynie asked whether
there is legitimate nexus.
“It all has to do with value
because there is a loss of
privacy,” he said.
Commissioner Jeff Jennings said the goal is a
program that works and that
he was reluctant to think
this proposal will work.
Chair John Mazza said
trails are an asset for
Malibu, “maybe not everyone,” but for most an asset
and the city might as well
have incentives.
In other action, the commission approved an application for a remodeling
project on Bonsall Drive
that included utilizing the
Rosemary Thyme Trail as
an emergency evacuation
route for the hillside
Cavalleri neighborhood
above.
The applicants agreed to
put a gadget on the gate
with instructions on how to
open in case of a wildfire.
Neighbors with large animals can now walk their
pets to the traditional staging area at Zuma Beach.

Superintendent Makes Public Apology for Memo
At last week’s board
meeting, the district superintendent apologized publicly for distributing the
memorandum to the board
that discussed three Santa
Monica special education
parents and his concern
that they would “sabotage”
the district obtaining funds
from the city of Santa
Monica.
Cuneo said, “I want to
publicly apologize for the
memorandum. It was not
meant to offend or demean
[the parents.] I’m appreciative of the efforts
that our parents have made
and have personally asked
them to accept my ap-
ology.
“I am sorry and hope this
error on my part will not
hinder us in working together for all students in
our district.”
Although Cuneo apologized for the memo, there is
ongoing internal strife
between the named parents
and the superintendent.
One of the parents, Claudia
Landis said, “From the
beginning Mr. Cuneo tried
to submerge the independent [special education]
review [“Barber Report”]
and quiet everyone who
was involved in it. If he had
embraced the report, I
don’t think there would be
the tension that there is
now.”

Malibu Composer and Conductor Celebrates Her Heritage with Irish-Themed Concert
M
alibuite Eímear
Noone grew up
in Kilconnell, a
small country village in
east County Galway, Ireland. She had a passion for
music starting as a very
young child.
Noone says that the nuns
at the convent school she
attended encouraged her to
pursue teaching or medicine when, at the age of
12, she announced that she
wanted to be a conductor.
Undeterred, Noone con-
tinued to study music. By
the age of 15 she was performing professionally on
the flute and earned a guest
spot with Ireland’s National
Army Band, where she had
the opportunity to conduct
in front of a live audience,
when the conductor handed
her the baton.
Noone attended Trinity
College Dublin’s School of
Music, where she conducted student ensembles.
However, she continued to
receive resistance from the
ERIN GO BRAGH—Malibu conductor and composer
Eimear Noone had a vision to create an authentically
Irish event to celebrate Saint Patrick’s Day, bringing
together music, literature and theater.
established musical community as she continued to
pursue conducting.
One maestro reportedly
told her not to pursue the
career because she had
three strikes against her:
she was young, Irish and
female.
After graduation, Noone
established The Dublin
City Concert Orchestra,
which performed at Dublin’s National Concert Hall.
Noone, who now lives in
Malibu, has conducted and
orchestrated classical repertoire, film scores, video
game scores, movie trailers
and pop/rock recordings.
She recently composed the
score to the feature film
“The Forlorn” starring
Crispin Glover and orchestrated Oscar nominee
Javier Navarrete’s score to
the film “The Hole” directed by Joe Dante.
Noone’s orchestrations
have been performed at the
Hollywood Bowl and have
been recorded at Capitol
Records, Twentieth Century Fox, Abbey Road and
the London Symphony
Orchestra.
This month, Noone is
raising the tricolor flag of
her homeland and throwing
what a press release describes as “the best St.
Patrick’s gala one can imagine.”
The event, called “This
Is Ireland,” is scheduled for
8 p.m. on March 17 at
UCLA’s Royce Hall. It
will feature music ranging
from traditional Irish folk
songs to the scores of John
Williams, the nocturnes of
John Field, and the music
of Irish rock stars such as
Thin Lizzy and U2, all presented with orchestra, chorus and a core rock ensemble.
The concert will include
Irish film clips, news reels,
excerpts from great literary
works, special guests—
Noone has enlisted fellow
Irish Malibu residents actors Pierce Brosnan and
Romy Downey—and letters from Irish American
emigrants.
Noone, who will host
the evening, scripted the
event with Patrick Duffy,
advisor and speechwriter to
former Irish Prime Minister Bertie Ahern, and Dearbhail MacDonald, legal
editor for the Irish Independent. She describes the
concert as an attempt to
difinitively answer the
question, “What does it
really mean to be Irish?”
The President of Ireland,
Mary McAleese, will reportedly be sending a personal greeting to the event.
“As a female orchestral
conductor and composer,
Eímear Noone, “This is Ireland’s” producer, is one of a
rare breed in a world traditionally reserved for men,”
the press release states.
“As a live performance
theater producer, Noone
continues to be a vanguard
with her celebration of Ireland's rich socio-cultural
history.”

information on the concert
are available online at

Frost indicated that he
would prefer that the
workshop, which will be
open to the public, be
attended by individuals who
are serious about the issue,
such as cycling community
leaders who can spread the
work to large numbers of
cyclists. “Do I want members of the general public

but…”
“I really would like to get
something accomplished,”

A grant-funded $900 bike
route improvement project
slated for PCH west of
Trancas was also discussed.
“It’s brave to bring this
issue to the head,” City
Councilmember Pamela
Conley Ulich, speaking as a
citizen, told the commission. Conley Ulich discussed the Pacific Coast
Highway bike facility study
that was completed in 1996.
“What happened I believe is
the city council got this and
just brown filed it,” she said,
adding that the city should
look at how to spend the
$900,000 bike route grant,
“where it will do the most
good. Maybe we shouldn’t

The proposal will “transform” 20 pieces of porcelain restroom fixtures

discuss another art program, though she commented positively about the
recycling elements of the
Porcelain project.

said, suggesting that improvements farther east
might be more beneficial.
“Maybe we need to do it
from, I don't know, you
decide,” she said.
In essence the whole
[PCH] is a bike route
anyway,” Frost said, explaining the difference
between a bike route and a
bike path. “West of Trancas,
nothing radically will
change up there. Have you
been in Starbucks on a
Saturday morning? It looks
like a bike shop. Maybe the
public doesn't understand
what a bike route is. It's a
route not a path.”
Commuters are asked to
help facilitate the work by
using caution, having
patience and obeying
posted speed limits. Traffic

The ROA had pleaded
with the city to not take
action on vacating a
portion of the road until
they were finished with
the roadwork.
The ROA has stumbled
into several legal roadblocks, including finding
evidence of who owned
what on the easements
and underlying easements,
which complicated matters for the ROA and the
city.
The city attorney acknowledged that various
parties had raised concerns about ownership of

ROA.
“It is still ongoing,” the
city attorney said at the
time, but noted that claims
that the road easements
would revert to the
adjacent property owners
appeared to not be true. “It
is unfolding as the ROA
said it would,” the city
attorney added.
The ROA has sought to
construct an alternative
access road for decades,
following a landslide that
permanently blocked access between the upper and
lower portions of the canyon road from Pacific

“The city was founded
because we did not want
sewers in Malibu to control
growth. It is the very
representation of history
and fate of Malibu. The
toilet is an integral part of
our city,” she had explained.
Conley Ulich went even
further in her analysis

The quest for an official
city song came about after
a local family performed a
song in council chambers
they had composed about
Malibu and suggested
members consider adopting an official city song.
Councilmember Laura
Rosenthal was enthused
about the idea and suggested the council put
together a challenge to
other artists.
Subsequently, the council passed on the task for
establishing a process for

View Ordinance
A notice issued by the
planning department indicates the proposed ordinance establishes a process
by which property owners
within the city may seek to
restore a pre-existing view
with emphasis on neighbors
resolving issues prior to
court action.
The commission had conducted informal public
workshops and a formal
public hearing about a proposed ordinance after the
matter had been discussed
by a task force for almost a
year.
The task force had created
its own ordinance and recommended the city could
simply adopt it.
However, some city
council members at that
time frowned on proceeding
in that fashion and instructed the staff to start
from ground zero.
The planning department
told planning commission
members it would adopt
provisions from the task
force document, and other
ordinances currently enacted by other cities.
The planning commission
made recommendations for
inclusion into the proposed
document, but the panel has
not yet seen a draft version.
The proposed ordinance
is currently posted on the
city’s website.
The matter is returning to
the planning panel for its
recommendations before the
proposal goes before the
city council for approval or
denial.

HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATOR
SEPTIC BAILOUT
Editor:
I was troubled to read that the Malibu Chamber of Commerce has spearheaded an agreement naming the city of
Lijiang in the People’s Republic of China Malibu’s sister
city. Lijiang may be an ancient and beautiful city, but nothing can change the fact that China currently has one of the
worst human rights records of any nation.
Human rights watchdog Amnesty International has documented widespread human rights violations in China.
According to AI, “An estimated 500,000 people are currently enduring punitive detention without charge or trial,
and millions are unable to access the legal system to seek
redress for their grievances. Harassment, surveillance,
house arrest, and imprisonment of human rights defenders
are on the rise, and censorship of the Internet and other
media has grown.
Repression of minority groups, including Tibetans,
Uighurs and Mongolians, and of Falun Gong practitioners
and Christians who practice their religion outside statesanctioned churches continues. While the recent reinstatement of Supreme People’s Court review of death penalty
cases may result in lower numbers of executions, China
remains the leading executioner in the world.”
China also continues to shut the media out of Tibet. Hundreds of thousands of Tibetans have died as a direct result
of China’s policies from 1959 to the present, through starvation, torture and execution. The Tibetans are now a people without a homeland, many fleeing the Chinese “cultural cleansing” for a life of exile in India and Nepal, while
the Chinese government continues to exploit Tibet’s
resources and destroy Tibetan culture and heritage.
More careful thought and discussion should have gone
into the decision to name a sister city. I hope that the city
council will carefully consider selecting a city in a nation
that respects human rights and is more closely aligned with
Malibu’s values.
Eleanor Tice Guldimann
Editor:
I am writing this letter to urge the city to rethink their
proposed solution to the septic ban as mandated by the
Regional Water Quality Board.
To address the ban, the city proposes that the residents
and businesses located within the affected areas indebt
themselves to pay for the required waste water treatment
facility. The costs to build such a facility, as projected by
the city, could exceed $52 million. This as pointed out in
the press would mean $17,000 per month per parcel for
commercial property and as much as $500 per month for
residential parcels. These financial obligations presumably
will continue on in perpetuity.
First, let me start off by saying that this waste water
problem is one which affects our entire city.
As a city, part of our tax base comes from sales tax generated by our local businesses. Many of which, along with a
host of resident serving commercial establishments, are
located within the affected areas. No business can conceivably survive and absorb these anticipated costs along with
the current rents they are required to pay. If implemented as
planned, our city is sure to suffer the loss of even more businesses and the badly needed sales tax revenue they generate.
The residents of the affected areas are no different. They
will be burdened by this financial obligation for no other
reason than because of where they live.
When we became a city 20 years ago, it came with certain responsibilities. One of those responsibilities was to
collectively share in the health and welfare of our entire
community. We all enjoy the sales tax revenue generated by
our businesses. We all enjoy clean water and clean beaches.
We all pay for shared services even though many of us do
not directly benefit from them. Waste water treatment is a
service no different from fire protection or police.
We are all affected by this mandate, and we should all
share in the solution. Only through shared responsibility
can we be assured that the costs needed to solve this collective problem will not significantly impact our quality of
life. The city must act in a manner which finds a viable and
affordable solution to this significant problem. The current
plan as outlined by the city demonstrates that they have ignored the true economic impacts associated with their proposed solution.

Pursuant to the authority and criteria contained in the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the
Planning Division has analyzed the proposed zoning text amendment, and after reviewing Initial Study No.
11-001, has determined that the project will not have a significant effect on the environment. Accordingly,
a project description, initial study and negative declaration were circulated for public review. Based on the
entire record and comments received, the Planning Division has determined that: (i) there is no substantial evidence that the zoning text amendment will have a significant effect on the environment; and (ii) the
negative declaration prepared for this request reflects the City’s independent judgment and analysis.
Accordingly, a NOTICE OF DETERMINATION, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15075(a), will be filed
if the zone text amendment is adopted by the City Council.
A written staff report will be available at or before the hearing. Following an oral staff report at the beginning of the hearing, any persons wishing to address the Planning Commission will be provided up to three
minutes to speak. These time limits may be changed at the discretion of the Planning Commission.
At the conclusion of the testimony, the Planning Commission will deliberate and its recommendation
to the City Council will be memorialized in a written resolution. This amendment must be approved by
the City Council before it takes effect.
Copies of all related documents are available for review at City Hall during regular business hours.
Written comments may be presented to the Planning Commission at any time prior to the close of the
public hearing.

NOTICE, OR IN WRITTEN CORRESPONDENCE DELIVERED TO THE CITY, AT OR PRIOR TO THE
PUBLIC HEARING.

GRATEFUL DRIVER
Editor:
I am a 30-year resident of the Las Flores Canyon area.
The motto: “Through rain, wind, sleet or snow” should be
said of Caltrans workers.
I leave for work at 6 a.m. and often return after dark. So
I am often traveling the canyon mostly in the dark.
With all the rains we are having this season, the rocks
and mud keep falling onto the roadway. In spite of this, the
workers of Caltrans keep the roads clear and rock free,
never disappointing me.
At 6 a.m., the roads are clear, and my day starts out with
a smile when I reach Pacific Coast Highway.
We all owe a heartfelt thanks to the men and women of
Caltrans.
Harry Weiss
Editor’s Note: City of Malibu and Los Angeles County work
crews also clear roads under their jurisdiction around the clock,
and all of them have been outstanding this winter.
SMMUSD Budget
per ADA to $1,000 per ADA. This would mean a minimum
of another $3.3 million reduction. Clearly, a cut of this magnitude will be devastating and we would expect that the
state would allow districts to take extraordinary measures.”
Linda Gross, executive director of Santa Monica Malibu
Education Foundation, discussed strategic fundraising
options rather than a second Gross explained, “Right now,
we’re not planning on doing another SOS campaign” [the
Save Our Schools emergency fundraising effort that raised
over $1.5 million last year]. “We raised so much money
in a short amount of time. It was such a collaborative
effort and those involved continue to stay connected. “If
we don’t get tax extensions on the ballot and passed in
June, we will have to come together as a community and
figure out what we can do.”

Sheriff ’s and Public Safety REPORT
SKATE SNATCHER
A black and white skateboard, valued at $200, with the
word “FOUNDATION” on the bottom and a sticker of a
“green sasquatch” on the front was reported stolen at knife
point from in front of an office building on Point Dume on
March 4. The victim told Lost Hills Sheriff’s Station
deputies that he was standing alone, waiting for his friends
to catch up with him when he was approached by an
unknown person who reportedly said “do you want the
sword or the board?” The victim stated that he was at first
confused by the question, but then observed that the
individual was holding a knife in his right hand. The
victim stated that the knife “looked huge, it was the size of
a ruler.” He told the suspect that “he did not want the
sword.” The suspect took the board out of the victim's
hands and walked towards his vehicle, parked 30 feet north
of the location, according to the report. The victim then
yelled “what are you doing, man?” The suspect replied
“you didn’t want the sword, did you?” and continued
towards the vehicle. The victim stated that his friends
arrived at that point and began videotaping the suspect
with a camera brought to film the skateboarders “doing
tricks on their boards.” A second witness wrote down the
license plate of the vehicle. The report states that the
sheriff’s deputies ran the plate information and were able
to determine that the vehicle is registered to a Los Angeles
man. He was entered into the system as an “armed and
dangerous suspect.” The video has reportedly been
provided as evidence. The incident is under investigation.
COPPED CHRONOMETER
A men’s wristwatch valued at $4700 was reportedly
stolen from a residence on PCH in west Malibu during
the night of Jan. 23. The victim told Lost Hills Sheriff's
Station deputies that he usually left the watch on his
bedside table when he went to sleep. However, on the date
the watch disappeared the victim wore a different watch
leaving the first watch on a table. When he returned home
•
the following day the watch was missing. The victim
stated that he suspected his brother's girlfriend, who
resides on the property in a different residence and “has
been known to hock watches at pawnshops,” according to
the victim. The victim waited to file a report “because he
was hoping his brother would get the watch back for him
if he hinted strongly enough.” The report states that there
was no sign of forced entry.
PARK PECCADILLOES
In the latest round of park-related vehicle burglaries, a
hiker parked at the Newton Canyon trailhead on Kanan
Dume Road on Mar. 5 returned to find her rear passengerside window smashed, and a beach bag containing a
sweatshirt, a pair of flip flops, food, a bible and a book
entitled “Facing Adversity” was missing. A $50 purse,
purple with dragonflies, a $200 camera and a $50 flash
drive were removed from a vehicle parked at Malibu
Creek State Park on the morning of March 3. The
passenger-side window was smashed. A second vehicle,
parked approximately five car-lengths away, was also
burglarized during the same timeframe. The burglar(s)
made off with a $20 wallet containing a California driver
license. A $50 wallet containing a Swedish driver license
and a pink, $35 wallet containing a debit card and $20
U.S. currency were reported stolen from a vehicle parked
on PCH at the Malibu Lagoon on Mar. 5. The victims
returned to the car to find that the driver's side door lock
had been forced open. A $700 purse and $700 tablet
device were reportedly stolen from the bleachers at Bluffs
Park on March 3 during a baseball game. The victim was
unable to locate any witnesses.
BAGGED BURGLAR
The Lost Hills Sheriff’s Station has announced that a
Santa Paula man was recently arrested in connection with
a burglary that occurred at a residence on PCH in western
Malibu earlier this year. The suspect was arrested for
receiving stolen property, possession of burglary tools and
CYCLE CRASH
UNYEILDING—A crash involving a bicyclist and a
pedestrian shut down Mulholland Highway briefly
on Sunday, near a Malibu Creek State Park
trailhead that is popular with hikers and cyclists,
while emergency responders dealt with the aftermath of the incident.
MSN/Frank Lamonea
a warrant for the Malibu burglary. The suspect reportedly
had in his possession an MP3 player that was reported
stolen during a vehicle robbery on PCH in December of
2010. He was also found in possession of a window
punch tool. The same suspect was arrested in August
2010 for vehicle burglary in the City of Malibu.
according to the sheriff’s report, the 2010 investigation
linked the suspect to “approximately” 11 other vehicular
burglary incidents. The D.A.’s office has filed felony
charges on the suspect.
WALLET WOE
A visitor to Topanga State Beach reported that he lost a
wallet containing a French passport, driver license, credit
card and blank checks, on Mar. 7.

Status of Richardson Investigation May Take Back Seat as Depositions Get
Underway in Consolidation of Lawsuits Filed Separately by Her Parents
■ Family Members Say LASD Procedures When Taking Women into Custody Are ‘Discriminatory’
I
nformation flow may be
reduced as all of the major participants, including family members and
Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department officials and personnel, are being scheduled
to give depositions in litigation related to the death
of Mitrice Richardson.
Richardson is the 24year-old African-American
honors college graduate
who was taken into custody
by LASD deputies at Geoffrey’s restaurant on Sept.
16, 2009, for allegedly
being unable to pay an $89
dinner check and possessing
what has since become a legal amount of marijuana.
Patrons and restaurant
staff described Richardson
as speaking gibberish; mesmerized by bright lights
and stating she was from
Mars. The restaurant manager performed a citizen’s
arrest and three deputies
transported the handcuffed
woman to the Lost Hills
Sheriff’s Station.
Meanwhile, Richardson’s car—with her purse,
credit cards and cell phone
locked inside—was towed
to the Malibu impound lot
in the Civic Center area.
The Los Angeles resident
was released from Lost Hills
alone just after midnight the
next morning, without a
means of transportation,
credit cards or cell phone in
an area she didn’t know.
Richardson neither contacted, nor was ever seen
alive by her family again.
Most of Richardson’s
skeletonized remains were
found 11 months after she
disappeared. Other than a
possible sighting the morning of Sept. 17, there was
no trace of her until park
rangers checking on an
abandoned marijuana grove
not far from the sighting location made the grisly find.
Additional bones were
then found in a repeat field
check of the site in February, and authorities are
awaiting DNA test results
to verify whether they belong to the dead woman.
Even before the repeat
search, the county coroner’s office blasted LASD
homicide detectives for
moving the remains before
coroner’s investigators
could examine them, an apparent violation of state
law, and compromising the
coroner’s office investigation by their possible haste
and carelessness.
The Office of Independent Review, the county
watchdog over possible
misconduct, is reviewing
the inter-agency dispute.
OIR lead attorney Michael Gennaco has become
personally involved with
every aspect of the case, including taking part in trips
to the remains location and
making frequent contact
with family members.
Last month the Federal
Bureau of Investigation
local office declined a request from Sheriff Lee Baca in January to get in-
volved in the investigation,
including examination of
Richardson’s clothing that
was found scattered near
the remains and ignored by
the LASD, and exhumation
of her buried remains for
more in-depth analysis.
Richardson’s mother Latice Sutton indicates that she
is not giving up on involving the FBI. She is trying
to set up a meeting to maintain that the FBI must become involved because the
LASD has “so botched up
the case that it is difficult to
have confidence in their
professionalism and their
commitment to finding out
how my daughter died.”
DISCRIMINATION
Sutton and her circle of
supporters are now drafting
material that addresses
what they believe is a sexist, discriminatory, and
therefore illegal LASD
practice: sheriff’s deputies
requiring women to leave
their purses inside their
impounded vehicles when
they are taken into custody.
Ronda Hampton, a family
friend and one of the cofounders of Mitrice.org, a
group that will lobby for social change, said, “Those
purses contain money, credit cards, ID, cell phones,
personal information and
other items women will
need when released.”
Hampton said this is “especially critical when women are released from remote stations, such as Lost
Hills, at all hours and may
have to arrange their own
transportation home.”
She said the policy is inherently gender discrimination because most men
have their important belongings in their trouser or
jacket pockets and are not
left without resources to
take care of themselves.
With regard to local procedures, Hampton said, “I
believe that the Lost Hills
Station has a pattern and
practice of failing to keep
women from harm. Based
on their routine practice of
arresting women and not
securing their belongings,
they are rendering women
helpless to care for themselves and putting them at
risk of harm by human and
animal predators.”
The women took part in
about a half-hour tour of
Lost Hills Station last Saturday that they said helped
them understand the booking process.
Hampton told the Malibu
Surfside News, “We walked
past the jailer’s desk and
were allowed to enter the
two holding cells, one of
which was where Mitrice
was placed. The cells were
much smaller than they
appeared in the video.”
She said, “The cells each
had a pay phone, which we
were told could be used by
a detainee; however, they
could only make either a
collect call or use a credit
card to make the call. They
could also use a house
phone that could be passed
VICTIM—Family members believe Mitrice
Richardson was murdered not long after she
was released from Lost
Hills Sheriff’s Station on
Sept. 17, 2009, and they
have not let up efforts to
obtain FBI assistance.
to them through the fenced
window. The house phone
is only able to make local
calls. The phones are
turned on for the detainee
to use after their booking
process is complete.”
Hampton subsequently
emailed the deputy who led
the tour, “Maybe you can
clear up some confusion
that I am having. Did I hear
correctly that with the
house phone, a detainee
could only make local calls
and with the pay phone
they could only make either
credit card or collect calls?”
She says this could have
major implications for how
Richardson was treated.
If this turns out to be the
case, it might explain why
Richardson apparently
could not put through calls
to her great-grandmother
in Los Angeles on the
house phone reportedly
given to her by the jailer.
At the end of the tour,
the women discussed their
concerns with the way women are detained without
critical belongings.
Hampton said, “When
we explained [to Lost Hills
staff] that this could be
problematic for many women who carry their property in their purses, this
seemed to fall on deaf ears.
They just do not want to
acknowledge that this is a
dangerous practice.”
BACA MEETINGS
A meeting between
Sheriff Baca and Sutton
and her supporters that was
scheduled several weeks
ago for Monday, March 7,
was cancelled after Baca
was served with a deposition in the negligence and
civil rights violations lawsuit filed individually by
Richardson’s biological
father, Michael Richardson. That suit is now consolidated with the lawsuit
filed by Sutton, who raised
the dead woman.
Sutton indicated that she
and her group now expect
to receive updates from
Baca’s chief of staff, Commander James Lopez, who
“has agreed to continue to
meet with us and remain in
contact...every two weeks
or so...about the progress
of the ongoing investigation into Mitrice’s death.”

Just BETWEENUs
Hey, the Duke Died
I read the other day that
Duke Snider died. I know, I
know, I’m not the only one
who read it, but it put me
sharply in mind of the fact
that for a while New York
City had three of the greatest center fielders in the
game of baseball playing at
the same time—three centerfielders who would have
boosted any team in history
into championship contention.
They were heroes to all
of us New Yorkers, and all
of us argued endlessly on
the opposing merits of Snider, Willie Mays and Mickey Mantle.
What city could boast
three teams like the Dod-
gers, Giants and the Yankees? Come to think of it,
what city could boast three
major league baseball
teams playing simultaneously? Of course, these
were the forties and fifties
when baseball was our
national pastime. Still...
Each team had its own
history, its own look, its
own fans. The nuttiest were
in Brooklyn, the most loyal
in adversity, the Giants, and
the most hated, because the
team was easily the most
successful, the Yanks.
Ah, those center fielders.
Sure we had great pitching all over the city. Sandy
Koufax, Whitey Ford.
Catchers? Yogi Berra,
and Roy Campanella.
Shortstops? Phil Rizzuto
and Pee Wee Reese.
Managers? Leo Durocher, who managed the Dodgers and then the Giants,
and Casey Stengel, who
managed the Yankees and
then the Mets (when the
Giants and Dodgers left us
with only the Yanks, while
they moved to Los Angeles).
We had it all. Look at the
LA Dodgers. Find me a
star...a half of a Snider...a
quarter of a Mays...an
eighth of a Mantle? We’re
not talking ballplayers
here. We’re talking legends—rivals in the same
city.
In all of us, there is a
time of life we have lived
through that was unforgettable, when a sport we
cared about produced once
in a lifetime thrills.
For boxing fans, there
was the time of Jack
Dempsey, or Joe Louis, and
Sugar Ray Robinson, or if
you were born later, Ali.
These last ten years it
was basketball out here,
when basketball heroes
appeared in concert, to give
us thrills and eye pictures,
private viewing of harmless
but forever exciting play.
The league was never more
thrilling. We had the
“showtime” Lakers, with
Magic Johnson defending
against Boston’s Larry Bird
and the Bulls’ Air Jordan,
and...and....
Tennis? Right now, one
of the best male record
busters, ever, Roger Federer.
You have to be lucky, for
of course it’s out of your
control. Athletes through
the years have given each
of us a deathless deep well
of excitement that brightens all of our days.
When we were involved
in World War II, Joe DiMaggio’s hitting streak
pushed the war off the front
pages, and gave us something to smile for, to root
for, to remember all of our
lives.
Conclusion? These years,
sportsmen and women are
paid enormous sums of
money we may grumble
about, and dispute their
being payed whatever
monstrous salary they
may get.
But think it over. They
are inimitable. They are
super graceful, powerful,
competent at what they do
far beyond what we may
dream about doing, and in
fact, they often comprise
what we wish for ourselves
or our children.
Duke Snider, Willie
Mays and Mickey Mantle
were dream merchants, and
you cannot buy dreams.

The Aquarium AGE
The Week of March 10–16, 2011
The mad, nearly manic rush of the
last several weeks continue, and
while it may be hard to believe, this
week the seemingly unrelenting
sense of urgency actually seems to
intensify. It’s hard to know exactly
when the mad rush began: Was it
Jupiter’s move into Aries that upped
the pace? The final pass of Uranus
through the last degrees of Pisces,
encouraging hearts and minds to squeeze as much as possible
into as many moments as were available? Or is it Uranus’ entry
into Aries that’s generating such a powerful field of constant
activity? Perhaps it’s an aggregation of all these events that’s
pushing the pace. But whether it’s one cause or many, one
thing is sure: the wild ride of daily life is gaining momentum.
Expect to feel pressed for all sorts of things—time, money,
words, or breath. The good news is that despite feeling
stretched, an odd sensation of rising to the occasion supports
most endeavors. Uranus moves into Aries on March 11, and as
it starts a new cycle, so do we. Uranus signifies kinetic energy,
especially the dynamic motion of change. Aries represents
volition expressed through action, particularly activities motivated by passion, ambition, and desire. And the power of their
combined presence tends to manifest as a quickening of stagnant issues, personal or collective. As that urge for action combines with the drive of a new cycle, you may want to reevaluate those New Year resolutions. Go ahead—spring is a fine
time to celebrate a new beginning and the vernal equinox is
only a few days away. All new cycles have signatures of
adventure and anxiety, and this one is no different. Uranus is an
erratic, unpredictable force, and Aries, while not necessarily
unpredictable or erratic can be impatient, tempestuous, and
rash. These are the very qualities that often land Aries in the
thick of controversy, defending choices and positions that seem
a bit extreme to the rest of us. But it is important to remember,
first, that we all have Aries somewhere in our birth chart, and
second, without that Aries need to forge new pathways, few of
us would ever leave the comfort of what’s known for the thrill
of the unknown. Also keep in mind, new cycles tend to excite
old habits—it’s almost as if certain themes you thought were
long gone make a momentary, and often splashy, comeback.
Don’t despair if you find yourself caught in an onslaught of old
The PUZZLE

behaviors or attitudes. Be confident, face the challenge of
transformation, and understand that the persistent red threads of
karmic patterns appear at every significant juncture. And this
new Uranus cycle is going to offer a plethora of opportunities
to face those areas that still suffer from a lack of awareness. As
you move through the next several weeks of adjusting to the
new signature, do your best to remember that all of us will be
experiencing this new frequency, which means all of us are
going to need more than a little tenderness. Do your best to
make kindness your default setting.
If you know your Ascendant and/or your Moon Sign, read that, too.
Aries (March 21-April l9): Uranus feeds your need to break
free from whatever seems to be holding you back. Just remember, it isn’t necessary to burn every bridge on the path to independence. Some situations, while inhibiting, may also provide
necessary training.
Taurus (April 20-May 20): Uranus moves you into a deep
internal phase, and while that doesn’t mean you’re going to be
anti-social, you are apt to experience an increased need for contemplative time allows for greater self-awareness.
Gemini (May 21-June 21): Uranus encourages you to become
more actively engaged in your community. It makes no difference whether your participation is through volunteering or contributing; what’s important is you’re involved.
Cancer (June 22-July 22): Uranus focuses your attention on
career concerns, and as part of that process you’re probing new
avenues of employment. Be bold and adventurous, and you’ll
be pleased with what you discover about yourself.
Leo (July 23-August 22): Uranus expands your consciousness, and while you might think this is about drugs, it’s more
about the exploration of new belief systems. When possible, let
go of the tried-and-true, and you’ll set your mind and soul free.
Virgo (August 23-September 22): Uranus provokes an innovative approach to finance, especially if you’re willing to let go
of old habits that might be keeping you mired in debt. I’m not
promising a miracle cure, but there is the possibility of
improvement.
Libra (September 23-October 22): Uranus insists on a new
understanding of relationships, and while you think this has to
do with others, the transformation begins with you. Start this
process by considering how you could take better care of yourself.
Scorpio (October 23-November 21): Uranus stimulates startling
developments in the workplace. Flexibility is the key to accepting these surprising plots twists and handling them with skill.
Sagittarius (November 22-December 21): Uranus arouses a need
for uninhibited self-expression. From declaration of love to
portraits in oil to songs written, sung, and played in the key of
“me,” be willing to risk it all by being yourself.
Capricorn (December 22-January 19): Uranus disturbs your
home, internal and external, triggering issues of safety and
security. There’s no need to be anxious, and every need to figure out how to create greater equanimity.
Aquarius (January 20-February 18): Uranus is all about the conversation, and that means you are talking – a lot. Whether it’s
monologues or dialogues, you’re engaged in an exchange of
innovative ideas that certain to be growth producing.
Pisces (February 19-March 20): Uranus opens up issues of value,
from m-o-n-e-y to self-esteem and everything in between. Discard old negative spending habits as well as old ways of assessing your gifts, and you’ll move toward a deeper sense of ultimate worth.

Animal People: Legacy Park Dog Needs Special Home
Libby von Legacy
Lying in a cage at the Bakersfield Animal Shelter, a
beautiful 12-month-old German shepherd started giving
birth. A volunteer from
Westside German Shepherd
Rescue had arrived to rescue
another dog. The shelter was
overcrowded and ready to
euthanize the dog along with
her newly born puppies
when the volunteer stepped
in and rescued all of them.
Named Libby, this dog
went to live in a foster home
where she weaned her puppies and they were all adopted. Now Libby was to be
spayed. While arriving at
Malibu Coast Animal Hospital her leash accidentally
broke and she bolted off running down Pacific Coast
Highway. Bad news. But it
got even worse.
Eight days later Libby was
still on the run and no one
was able to catch her. Completely lost, she had no one
she knew to come to. Even
her name was new. Terrified,
she lived on the streets in the
cold and rain, with no food.
She crossed traffic on PCH,
was surrounded by coyotes—
this dog was in grave danger.
A group of concerned
Malibu dog lovers mobilized
and joined forces with the
worried rescue group. Within
a few days of searching she
was spotted at night seeking
safety in Legacy Park and the
lagoon. Even the local police
got involved trying to rescue
her, but to no avail.
Cold rain was arriving.
She still had milk from giving birth and desperation was
setting in when an animal
rescuer and expert in catching homeless dogs was
called in, Eldad Hagar from
Hope for Paws. Eldad was
on his way to the desert to
catch three homeless dogs.
He promised that the next
morning he would drive
straight back to Legacy Park.
He instructed the volunteers
to pick one spot in the park to
leave food for Libby. Volunteers arrived every few hours
TEAM EFFORT—(L to R—front row) Michelle Loera,
Eldad Hagar, Audrey Spilker Hagar, (back) Janet Flora
Katz, Judie Stein Friedman, Dr. Ira Friedman, Suzanne
Thomas, Delores Rivellino, Larry Brambles, Kim Ledoux,

through the day and night to
leave food and to report if the
old food had been eaten.
Though unsure if it was
Libby—the food was gone.
Eldad searched the area
during the next day and
though on his second sleepless night, again returned
planning to stay for as long
as it took to find Libby. He
proceeded to search the park,
the lagoon until finally at
2:30 a.m. Eldad discovered
that she had entered his cage
at the food drop in Legacy
Park. Libby was now finally
safe.
Libby has been renamed
by Westside German Shep-
herd Rescue “Libby von
Legacy” in honor of our
Malibu Legacy Park, which
sheltered her. She is now
being spayed and will soon
be available for a new home
that will be hers forever.
Libby von Legacy has
been through so much in her
short life. All are hoping that
she can find the perfect,
adoring home in Malibu.
Libby loves children and is
good with other dogs. She’s
gentle and shy and in a home
where she’s loved, she’ll
blossom. She’s in very good
health. While bonding with
her new family, it is important that she lives in a safe,
WANTED
URGENT!! OMNI NEEDS YOUR HELP
Look at his tender face! Omni got a rotten deal. Omni gave his family all his heart, love and
his life. They gave him—a county dog shelter. A strikingly handsome, lanky Pointer mix, Omni is
a big boy at 64 pounds. He was abandoned for 3 weeks, left without food or water, when his
“family” moved away and just left him. But this precious, dear boy is a survivor. He’s got tremendous spirit and energy for a 10 year old dog and has a sprightly step on his walks, not to mention his favorite pointing position. He has the cutest white paws. Omni loves to cuddle up close
and hopes you do, too. As a senior dog, his life is in grave danger at the shelter, his chances are
not good. This is no way to thank a lifelong family dog. Please give him what he deserves—a
real, true family and a loving home! Please adopt Omni #A1189987.

Adorable little Trinket is a perfect
lady with the cutest button nose
and the softest, pleading brown
eyes. Her scruffy terrier coat is
fashionably gray and black, perfect
for any outing. She’s got a gentle
nature, initially a bit shy but oh-so
sweet. So small and only 15
pounds, Trinket is the perfect ornament and hopes to add some
sparkle to your life. Don’t leave her
here, she needs you! Adopt Trinket
at #A1192202.
There’s laughter in the air when Mr.
Personality Chico is there. This little
guy is a born comedian. While he
loves doing stand-up, he also
enjoys lying in your lap during
down-time. Still a puppy, 7-month
old Chico is super friendly with kids
and other dogs. His squat little body
holds 37 pounds of absolute fun
that he wants so much to share. If
you want to keep smiling, take
Chico home today. Let him entertain your troops! Chico adoption
#A1184870.
Omni got a rotten deal. He gave his
family all his heart, love and life.
They gave him a county dog shelter. A strikingly handsome, lanky
Pointer mix, Omni is a big boy at 64
pounds. He was abandoned for 3
weeks, left without food or water,
when his “family” moved away and

He’s got tremendous spirit and

loves to cuddle up close and hopes
you do too. Please give him what
he deserves—a great home!
Adopt Omni #A1189987.
J-Lo needs a new home and a new
name! She is sleek and undeniably
as beautiful as her namesake.
She’s not interested in TV work—
just wants a steady job as your
faithful companion. J-Lo’s previous
owner turned her into the shelter
because they had “too many” dogs.
A total sweetheart, always smiling
and content, easy-going and sweet
with the other canines, big and little, J-Lo is 3 years old. Make her
your star today. Love J-Lo, adoption
