T
he City of Malibu Planning
Commission is scheduled to
hear an ongoing request by
contractor Scott Rosier to amend
a coastal permit for exterior night
lighting at the Trancas Country
Market at a public hearing on
Tuesday, Jan. 22.
The request also seeks changes
to the landscape plan, the native
trees plan and the master signage
program.
The matter was originally
scheduled for an Oct. 1 hearing,
but was postponed after the applicant indicated that he wanted
to meet with neighbors who were
beginning to raise concerns about
changes that the developer was
proposing for the project.
The staff recommendation for a
scheduled meeting last month
was to continue the public hearing to a date uncertain by pulling
it off the calendar.
The original request for the
shopping center, which is currently under construction, included changes to the previously approved lighting plan to allow the
addition of 43 pole mounted
lights that vary in height from 12
to 20 feet located throughout the
parking lot and pedestrian areas,
as well as other site lighting and
building mounted lighting, according to a public notice issued
by the city’s planning de part ment.
However, the current agenda
“[Amendmentttt

”
ccchanges.
notice does not stipulate how
many poles are sought, but indicates an amendment “for proposed changes to the conditions
of approval including changes to
the previously approved lighting
plan which includes the addition
of pole mounted lights that vary
in height from 12 to 16 feet located throughout the parking lot and
pedestrian areas, as well as other
site lighting and building mounted lighting.” In addition, the
developers are seeking changes
to the landscape plan, changes to
the native tree plan, changes to
screening requirements for onsite
wastewater treatment pods and
approval of a master sign program.
The shopp ing center is still
currently being remodeled and
this is the second set of changes
or amendments to the coastal permit that has been requested.
Night lighting has become an
issue, especially in Malibu Park,
because of lights approved for the
high school sports field and a
new proposed parking lot.
The planning commission
turned down night lighting for
the planned 150-car high school
parking lot.
Even more controversial is the
field lighting recently installed at
the football field at the high
school at nearby Malibu Park.
The MHS field lighting was
not heard by the planning commission, but was approved by the
city council, instead.
Critics of the night lighting
plans point out that the requested
lighting, when considered cumulatively, would result in significant negative impacts to the night

Take Down Septic Ban
I
Recent Pleading Amendment Allowed
A
longtime local resident and
private attorney, who filed
a lawsuit against the local
and state water boards and the
California Environmental Protection Agency concerning the
Malibu Civic Center septic ban,
was able to file an amended
pleading at the trial court level
for her third cause of action for
inverse condemnation.
She had previously filed a notice
of appeal, but the CEPA and the
state have successfully filed
demurrers at the appellate level.
Attorney Joan Lavine, who
owns a home on Malibu Road,
got tangled up in the trial court
over a set of procedural issues
and is now appealing the lower
court’s ruling. She seeks to have
the ban overturned and set aside
and is also making a claim that
the septic ban has resulted in an
inverse condemnation “due to the
unconstitutional regulatory taking…of all viable economic
value and use of her substantial
property interests in her Malibu
road property and seeks the
award of reasonable monetary
damages.”
Lavine said she was “OK” with
her current progress in the complicated litigation because she
was allowed to amend the pleading for the inverse condemnation.
A prohibition on all Civic
Center area septic systems, including residential areas was approved and adopted by the
RWQCB on November 2009 and
approved and ratified by the State
Water Resources and Con trol
Board on Sept. 21, 2010.
Lavine asserts in her complaint
that by doing so, the agencies
“illegally engaged in a regulatory
taking and confiscation of her
substantial real property and related interests.”
The lawsuit calls the prohibition “an invalid underground regulation and is arbitrary, capricious, unreasonable overbroad,
confiscatory, is an exercise of
authority in excess of and without jurisdiction, is a usurpation of
power, authority and jurisdiction
where respondents have none, is
without any factual support, and
is invalid as a matter of law and
therefore is null and void.”

Holiday Week’s Weather Patterns Don’t Dampen Local Spirits
n Full Rain Gauges and Nighttime Cold Add Wintery Touches to Malibu’s Sense of the Season
M
alibuites didn’t require the
assistance of official meteorological advisories to
know that the last two weeks of
December was being marked by
days and nights of bone-chilling
cold and umbrella-soaking rain.
The weather spurts of pleasant,
even if only lukewarm, respite in
between the storms appeared
timed to acknowledge the holidays, but local residents quickly
determined that it will be wise to
keep rain gear at the ready
through at least the first week of
the new year.
As for the days immediately
ahead, Los Angeles County has
issued a rain advisory for all public beaches through Saturday,
Dec. 29.
Because of the current rainfall,
the Los Angeles County Health
Officer is cautioning residents
who are planning to visit county
beaches to be careful of swimming, surfing, and playing in
ocean waters around discharging
storm drains, creeks, and rivers.
The advisory notes that bacteria,
debris, trash, and other public
health hazards from city and
mountain areas are likely to enter
ocean waters through these outlets.
“Fortunately, discharging storm
drains, creeks, and rivers only
comprise a small portion of the
beach, and therefore, anybody
who wants to go to the beach will
be able to enjoy their outing,” according to Jonathan Fielding, the
LAC public health director and
health officer.
“We do advise swimmers and
surfers to stay away from the
storm drains, creeks and rivers as
there is the possibility that bacteria or chemicals from debris and
trash may contaminate the water
near and around these areas, and
some individuals may become
ill,” Fielding added.
Areas of the beach apart from
discharging storm drains, creeks,
and rivers are exempted from the
county advisory, which will be in
effect until 7 p.m. on Saturday,
Dec. 29, but may be extended
depending on further rainfall.
Recorded information updates
on county beach conditions are
available 24-hours a day on the
LAC beach closure hotline: 1800-525-5662.
Information is also available
online at LAC public health website located at: www.publichealth.
lacounty.gov/beach.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has issued wind advisories for areas
within Los Angeles County, but as
yet they do not include the Santa
Monica (Malibu) Range and the
Ventura County Mountains.
Preliminary tallies of rainfall
indicates that the greater Malibu
area may have exceeded most
area totals. Persons with calibrated rain gauges determined to be
accurate are invited to email their
precipitation totals, dates and
times to the Malibu Surfside

Sea Otters May Be the Next Major Enviro Success Story Off Malibu’s Coast
n Most of 27,000 Instances of Input Favored Termination of the Federal Translocation Program
C
alifornia sea otters, once
regularly spotted in Malibu’s kelp forests, may have
the opportunity to return to their
former southern range thanks to a
U.S. Department of Fish and
Wildlife Service decision to terminate the 25-year old southern
sea otter translocation program.
The decision means that sea
otters will be able to continue to
expand their range naturally into
southern California waters in
accordance with the recommendations of the 2003 revised southern sea otter recovery plan.
The rule takes effect on Jan. 18,
2013, and removes the regulations that govern the translocation
program, according to a DFW
press release.
“Sea otters at San Nicolas
Island, offspring of the original
sea otters translocated to the
island under the program, will be
allowed to remain there. Once the
rulemaking becomes effective,
the special exemptions to the
Endangered Species Act (ESA)
and Marine Mammal Protection
Act associated with the translocation program’s management and
translocation zones will cease to
exist, and all sea otters found in
the waters south of Point Conception will be considered a
threatened species under the
ESA—the same status as the remainder of the population that
resides along the California
coast.”
“The decision culminates an
approximately decade-long process during which the Service
evaluated the translocation program and alternatives to it. During
that period, the Service solicited
and received extensive public
comment. The vast majority of
the approximately 27,000 comment letters, emails, and postcards received expressed support
for termination of the translocation program,” the press release
states.
“Originally designed to provide a safeguard against population loss from an environmental
catastrophe such as an oil spill,
the translocation program was
established by regulation in 1987
under the authority of Public Law
99-625, passed by Congress in
1986,” the DFW press release
states. “The program’s aim was to
provide for sea otter recovery
while avoiding potential conflicts
between sea otters and other interests, such as commercial fishing.
Although the law did not require
the Service to implement a
translocation program, it mandated that if a translocation program
were put in place, it would have a
“translocation zone” (where sea
otters would be brought) and a
“management zone,” which
would be kept otter-free by non-

Owners of BeauRivage Restaurant Had Transferred Ownership Last Year
n Longtime Community Members Honored for Funding Pepperdine Fall Musicial and Scholarships
I
n what may come as a surprise
to some in the community, the
owners of the BeauRivage
restaurant, Daniel and Luciana
Forge, did not sell to some area
entrepreneurs, but instead transferred ownership of the venerable
dining establishment to Pepperdine University last summer.
That information was revealed
recently when Pepperdine offici-
als honored the couple at a luncheon at the school.
It was announced the Forges are
funding a theater scholarship and
the school’s fall musical, according to the school’s senior director of public affairs, Jerry Derloshon.
The landmark restaurant was
subsequently sold by the school,
which is using some of the pro-
ceeds to establish the scholarship.
A Pepperdine publication reports that the Forges donated a
portion of BeauRivage establishing what is called “a $2.9 million
charitable remainder annuity trust
with the university.”
Half of the gift to Pepperdine
will be used to endow Pepperdine’s annual fall musical performance, permanently named as the
Luciana and Daniel Forge Fall
Musical.
The other half will establish the
Luicana and Daniel Forge Endowed Scholarship for students
pursuing a bachelor’s degree in
musical and dramatic arts at
Seaver College.
In the publication and at the
luncheon, the history of the
Forges was recalled. Daniel was
working at Perino’s in the 1950s
when he met his bride-to-be,
Luciana, in 1956 and the two
were married in 1958.
Luciana had been studying
music, dance and voice in Europe
and the two met when she was
finishing up a tour.
In the 1960s, the couple opened

A Developing Prayer
Editor:
“Within the Soul,” is my internal developing prayer
throughout the 1970s and into the 1980s. The developing
prayer crystalized by the mid 1980s. During 1987 through
1989, I internally edited my prayer to literal verse specificity while living and interacting with people, and then even
when running 10Ks in 1988 and 1990. I finally put the
verse into a written form in March 1992 and the poem
appears in a book I previously had written and published.
The horror in Connecticut reminds us all of how precious
and fragile we are. Perhaps, if we all lived within the soul,
we could care for each other in a way to avoid these and
other horrors.

“Leyendecker invented
new urbane and stylish figures that captured the knowing sophistication of the
modern era. He transformed
both illustration and retailing by creating his ‘Arrow

popularity established the
country’s first national advertising campaign.
“Rockwell, who began
his career by emulating Leyendecker, captured the
heart of the nation for decades with his keen sensitivity to the nuances of human behavior, which he
used to create poignant
depictions of life in smalltown America.”
“I am thrilled to bring a
collection of such outstanding art to Southern California,” said Michael Zakian, director of the Frederick R. Weisman Museum

Barn Owl Gets Second Chance Thanks to Local Rescue Center
W
e were driving on
Las Posas Road in
Camarillo on our
way home to Malibu when
we saw the barn owl. It was
flying at eye level parallel to
the road, its pale wings
bright against the rain
clouds at dusk. We went
from feeling blessed for the
opportunity to see this secretive nocturnal raptor to horror as the bird was caught in
the slipstream of a passing
truck, flipped through the air
and slammed into the road.
As soon as it was safe we
made a u-turn and backtracked to where the owl lay
in the road. I stopped the car
with the hazard lights on.
The owl wasn’t moving. In
the air it looked large and
graceful. Now it appeared
small and crumpled.
“It has to be dead. How
could it possibly have survived?” my mother and I
asked each other.
“Maybe we should just
let nature take its course and
not interfere?” We both
knew we couldn’t do that.
We had to check. We couldn’t just drive away. This owl
was on the road and in danger of being flattened by the
next vehicle. It was also extremely cold out and beginning to rain again. The
bird’s feathers would be
sodden. Even if it was not
seriously injured it could die
of shock.
We stepped out into thick
mud and made our way
over to the owl. It was still
alive. I could see that it was
breathing, but it was impossible to determine the extent
of its injuries.
Using leather gloves and
an old towel stored in the
car for emergencies, I gently lifted the owl off the
pavement and placed it in a
cardboard box. It was surprisingly light.
My mother, who is 80,
but always game for any
adventure, big or small,
took charge of the box,
keeping it on her lap, and
ensuring that its occupant
would remain in the box if
it revived in the car.
She’s an intrepid rescuer
of snakes, birds, rabbits,
and the occasional stray
rodent.
It was nearly 5 p.m. and
starting to rain. A frantic
Google search for wildlife
rehab in the area yielded
only answering machine
messages and a disconnected phone number, but the
California Wildlife Center
in Calabasas was still open
and the staff member agreed
to wait for the owl. “Call
when you get there,” he
said. “Someone will be
there to meet you.”
We headed back to the
101 and over the Camarillo
grade. It took us almost an
hour with the rain to reach
RESCUE—When we brought the barn owl in it
resembled a limp feather duster instead of a live
bird. After three days at the California Wildlife Center, the bird was fierce and wild once more—a
good sign that he was recovering. He perched on
the log in his enclosure and attempted to warn
away any human interloper by making himself look
as big as possible and moving his head from side
to side. Although barn owls look large, most of
their bulk—including the distinctive flat heartshaped face—consists of feathers. Barn owls have
an impressive 42-47-inch wingspan but rarely
weigh more than 18 ounces.

the wildlife center. Halfway
there the owl revived
enough to flap around in the
box. We resisted the temptation to look. My mother
kept the lid of the box gently but firmly in place.
They were expecting us at
the California Wildlife Center. While we filled out the
necessary paperwork, the
owl was weighed, measured, and found to be dehydrated and suffering from
hypothermia.
‘That’s not unusual,”
CWC Animal Care Coordinator Denys Hemen told us.
“They dehydrate easily.”
The patient was placed in
an incubator to keep warm
and received subcutanious
fluids and nutrition. He
would have to wait for
morning for the vet to examine him.
We learned that barn owls
depend on the moisture in
their prey—primarily mice,
pocket gophers and other
small rodents—to stay hydrated. Well-meaning but
inexperienced would-be rescuers have reportedly
drowned owls attempting to
give them water. However,
experienced rehabilitators
have had success using subcutanious fluids to rehydrate
owl patients.
When we checked on the
owl the following day we
were told that the veterinary
examination did not find
any broken bones and blood
tests and parasite tests were
within normal levels, but the
owl was still not able to
maintain its body temperature.
By the second day, the
owl had recovered enough
to eat a mouse. CWC staff
were now optimistic that the
bird would survive.
By the end of the week
the owl had recovered
enough to feel fierce and
angry, spreading its wings
and bobbing its head to
warn the rehab staff to keep
away. “It’s a good sign,”
Hemen told me. “You know
there is something seriously
wrong with an owl that lets
you just pick it up.”
Almost a week and half
after his near miss on Las
Posas Road, the owl was
ready to be released.
A study of one barn owl
family revealed that a nest
of six hatchlings consumed
an astonishing 70-plus
pounds of rodents. A
mature owl may consume
as many as three or four
rodents each night.
However, because the owl
population can expand

location with less traffic. We planned to photograph the release, but the second

such procedures include the exercise of all rights and remedies
permitted by law to make corrections, including, but not limited to,

“Sea otters in southern

Today, there are just

In recent years, individual sea otters are occasionally sighted as far south as

COFFEE SHOP
EXPANSION
Earlier next month on
Monday, Jan. 7, the planning commission is scheduled to hear a request from
Starbucks Coffee officials
for a permit to allow for a
441-square-foot-expansion
and operation of the existing
coffee shop located in the
Trancas shopping center.
According to the planning department, the applicant wants to remodel and
expand the coffee shop
tenant space by removing
the wall that separates it
from an adjoining 441
square foot storefront that
is currently occupied by a
surf shop.
Once the project is completed, the total area dedicated to Starbucks will be
1545 square feet.
The new 441 square foot
addition will be primarily
used to add additional storage space and a restroom,
according to a planning
staff report.
The expansion, according to planners, will not
result in additional seating
or square footage to the
existing building.
The existing hours of
operation are not proposed
to change.

Lost Hills Sheriff’s Station and Public Safety REPORT
SEA LION PUP IS SUBJECT OF DRAMATIC CHRISTMAS DAY RESCUE EFFORT AT BIG ROCK
STEALTH—A volunteer
from the California Wildlife Center rescues a sea
lion pup on Christmas
Day. At left, Jeff Hall uses
a net to secure the sea
lion and lower him safely.
The sea lion was
transferred from CWC to
the Marine Mammal Care
Center in San Pedro,
Wednesday. “Heʼs getting fluids and being
treated for several abscesses,” Hall told The
News.
HELP—While it isnʼt unusual for sea lions to leave
their pups on shore while foraging, the pup was reportedly alone for too long, and appeared extremely underweight and weak. Area resident
Janette Gorney, who took the photos shown here,
called the CWC to report a sea lion in distress after
observing that the pup appeared to be alone and in
need of medical aid. Marine mammal emergencies
can be reported to 310-458-WILD.

ROAD RAGE
An alleged transient reportedly threw a rock at a vehicle
traveling south bound on PCH near Tuna Canyon on Dec.
20, doing $1500 damage. The deputies responding to the
call intercepted the suspect, who told them that he “did
throw the rock,” but that he “was the police” and thought
“the car traveling [toward him] was going to run him over.”
The victim stated that he saw the suspect throw the rock
and felt it strike the door of his vehicle. He immediately
pulled over to check the vehicle for damage. The suspect
was taken into custody and booked for throwing objects at
moving vehicles. According to a second report, the same
suspect may have been involved in an incident involving a
clay flowerpot that was used to smash the window and
hood of a vehicle parked in the same vicinity earlier that
day, doing an estimated $3000 damage.
FENCE FELONY
Construction fencing valued at $10,000, two pallets of
white plastic PVC piping valued at $3000 and an 8-by-44
foot storage container, valued at $4000, were reported
stolen from a construction site on PCH on Dec. 15. The
report states that deputies responding to the site observed,
“holes in the ground where the informant stated that the
fence was previously located/rooted.” There were no
witnesses, according to the report.
PILFERED PILLS
A $100 cashmere sweater, two rum cakes and a bottle of
prescription pain medicine were reportedly burgled from a
residence in Malibu West on Dec. 22.
CHILLY CRIME
Three $5000 commercial air conditioning units were reportedly stolen from the roof of a three-story parking
structure on PCH between Dec. 15-17. Lost Hills Sheriff’s
Station deputies responding to the call were shown “three
spaces with clipped/cut copper wiring where the units were
previously installed.”

Long Time Resident Recalls His Favorite Pastimes in 1950s Malibu
BY PETE HAYNES
The text below is part of a
preliminary draft of a work
in progress chronicling the
author’s thoughts on the history of Malibu and his
remembrances as “a kid
that grew up here in this
paradise.”
In those days my dad,
Jimmy Decker and Cliff
Olson were big time deer
hunters. Keeping in mind that
they were hunting for food to
feed their families. There
were a few people that were
living in Malibu that objected
to their hunting and they
would call the Fish and Game
to report them, although they
were doing nothing wrong.
(NOTE) Firing a rifle or
shotgun was legal in Malibu
back then.
Jimmy Decker was the best
of the best when it came to
deer hunting. Later on in life I
heard what made him so successful was that he was color
blind. He would spot a deer in
heavy brush and he could see
it very clearly. My dad would
try to see that same deer with
no success. Being color blind,
I guess, lessened the camouflage factor where the deer
was standing.
With so many complaints
about their deer hunting the
Fish and Game officers
would then try to catch them
anyway that they could, once
again they were doing nothing illegal.
One day I had just returned
home from school, we are
now living just south of Paradise Cove, at 27758 Pacific
Coast Hwy. and up drove a
Fish and Game car with three
wardens inside. I, to this day
believe that those wardens
were on a fishing expedition
trying to get something of a
violation on my dad, Jimmy
and Cliff Olson.
One of those wardens
looked at me and asked if my
dad was home. I replied no he
is out on patrol and I didn’t
know when he would return.
It was then the other warden
asked if they could look in our
food freezer. I told him that he
would have to ask my dad for
permission. It was then I heard
the 1950 Olds. 88 patrol car hit
passing gear and was speeding
down our drive which was
about one quarter mile from
the highway.
The car came sliding in
sideways and I could tell dad
was hoping mad. He told
those wardens they had better
get their asses, his words, the
hell out of there or he would
pinch every Fish and Game
car that ventured into the
Malibu area from then on.
Dad’s full name is James P.
Haynes. I have the same
name except I’am a Jr. I have
also gone by my middle
name of Pete or Peter.
Fast forward to late 1959
and I had just come home on
leave from the Army.
My good friend and skipper Dick Crank, of the boat,
Retreat, out of Port Hueneme
called me while I was on
leave and told me to get there

game at Zuma beach

two. It took many
months for Mrs. Mc
Henry to forgive me as
I talked her into letting
him play.
as soon as possible to show
his passengers how to catch
Yellowtail. The next day I
boarded the Retreat and we
were on our way to the
islands. We arrived and I
began catching Yellowtail
and showing his passengers
how to get them. The answer
was fishing with jigs and not
live bait.
That day I caught 10 nice
Yellowtail and was departing
the boat at the dock.
Up walked a Fish and
Game warden and asked to
see my fishing license. I told
him that I was in the Army
and I thought that since I was
in the military I didn’t need
one. He told me that being in
the military wasn’t an excuse
for not having one. He said,
“you go in and buy a license
now and I’ll let you off.” I
proceeded into the bait shop
and bought a one day license.
I then showed the warden the
one day license and he really
got upset. It was then he
looked at my name on the
license, James P. Haynes, Jr.
Are you the son of Jimmy
Haynes? It seemed that he
was one of the Fish and
Game wardens that my dad
threatened at our house in
Malibu those many years ago.
That guy was screaming at
the top of his voice and using
some words that I had never
heard before. I guess that was
justice after all.
We are now still in 1954
and once again I’m 15 year
old.
There were kids in Malibu
at that time who were very
athletic, however in those
days there were no organized
sports within Malibu. We
would have gym class at
school and at lunch we would
play pick-up football and
baseball games.
Some of the local west end
guys would get together and
play tackle football at Zuma
beach and I have to say sometimes it got brutal. However,
it was just kids having fun
beating the crap out of each
other.
I remember some of the
guys that I played with in
those days.
Jim Mc Henry, Jimmy
Joto, Jackie Decker, Ted
Miller, Duffie Fryling just to
mention a few.
From 1952 to 1954, on
New Year’s Day of each of
those years we would play a
tackle football game at Zuma
beach. We called it the Sand
ing tackle football with no
pads or helmets.
One Saturday we had some
guys from west L.A. coming
out to play us and we needed
all of the help we would get.
Those guys were monsters. I
started calling around to our
guys and a couple said they
couldn’t play. Both were
great players and one of them
was Jim Mc Henry. Jim, it
seemed, hadn’t done his
homework for the week and
his mom told me he couldn’t
play. The other reason that
she didn’t want him playing
was because she was afraid
that he would get hurt. I
wouldn’t take no for an
answer over the phone so I
proceeded to Jim’s house. I
got there and was begging
Mrs. Mc Henry to let Jim
play when Jim’s dad stepped
in. Alright, we now have our
best players on the sand at
Zuma.
Here we go, kickoff. Mc
Henry catches the ball and
started running the ball back

Bowl.
This game got to become
very popular with some of the
adults here and there were
lots of people from the community would come out to
watch us play.
One of those people was
Louie Cavalleri. Louie would
not only come to watch he
would bring his 8 mm camera
and film the games. (NOTE)
I have the film of one of our
games in 1953 here at my
house in Malibu West.
I just wish Louie would
have turned his camera
around and scanned the hillsides across from the beach
from Mugu Rock to Point
Dume. Those shots would
have shown that there were
only five or six houses on all
of those hillsides.
Some of the above guys I
mentioned above would set
up football games with kids
from other towns and cities.
We would go to their fields or
parks and they would come
play on our home turf, Zuma.
Keep in mind we were play-
when he put his head down
while being tackled and bit
his tongue in two. We had to
stop the game and call Jim’s
mom to come get him. To
make things worse the doctor
before she forgave me. Jim
and brothers, Mike and Bill
always called Mrs. Mc Henry
“Hon,” and from the time
when she did let me off of the
hook, I called her “Hon” until
we were all adults.
Even with out Mc Henry,
the boys and I really took it to
those W.L.A. guys and won
the game by four touchdowns.
Anyone reading the events
that I have covered previously, please keep in mind that
they happened so many years
ago, that I might have erred
as to some of the years, ages,
and actions of some of the
persons mentioned.
We are still referring to the
years of 1953 to 1955.
I’m in the 9th grade at Lincoln Jr. High in Santa Monica
and riding the school bus
daily.
Malibu is now and then
known for its many disasters,
namely fires and flooding.
I will discuss both back in
the day. Starting with one of
the many fires that we experienced during either 53, 54 or
55. I believe it was 54.
My dad, sister Linda and I
are living at 27758 Pacific
Coast Hwy. just south of Paradise Cove.
Like many of Malibu’s
fires this one started over the
hill from us, I would guess
where Agoura is today.
I remember seeing smoke
and flames proceeding from
the north towards our house.
There were seven houses
with long drives from P.C.H..
Our house was the sixth
going from west to east and
keep in mind that it was nothing more than a shack.
Just east of us was the seventh house. Owned by a doctor, this house was a mansion.
The fire jumped P.C.H.
and was heading towards us.
DANGEROUS—The truck, trailer and the D10 tractor
that took Louie Cavalleriʼs life in a freak accident.
made a monster mistake and
sewed it together. I guess the
doctor should have known
that you never sew a tongue
together until the swelling
goes down.
I guess I don’t have to tell
you that I wasn’t the most
popular guy around Mrs. Mc
Henry for quite some time.
It took about 5 or 6 months
It was then I heard and saw a
fire engine coming down our
drive. The firemen proceeded
to knock down the flames and
save our house, however
there was no fire equipment
for the doctor’s house and it
burned to the ground. I b
elieve that doctor’s property
and our property, which was
owned by Zilhaver, is now
the Annenberg estate.
Another thing about fires
of any sort is that there is
always a risk, not only to our
firemen, but anyone who volunteers to help. One of those
volunteers, and make no mistake about it, he was a true
hero. I’m referring to none
other that Louie Cavalleri.
Louie would operate his D
10 Cat, cutting fire breaks, in
the face of the many fires that
we had in Malibu back in the
day. He would put himself in
harm’s way numerous times
during those fires. With all of
the times he risked his life to
save our beloved Malibu
from destruction, he was
taken from us in an everyday
accident.
I just got off the phone with
his son Rick and he related to
me how Louie actually died.
Louie was loading his D 10
Cat onto it’s trailer when the
tilt trailer began to lean to the
side. Louie was on the Cat
and as the trailer started to flip
to the right Louie jumped off
and landed on the ground
next to a fence. The Cat then
fell off of the trailer and rolled
over trapping Louie underneath crushing him.
I for one missed his smiling

face back then, and most of
Malibu mourned one of it’s
great hero’s. He was the cowboy’s, cowboy and we will
miss him.
I knew Louie and his wife
Betty from the time I was 10
years old until adulthood. I
also knew Betty was very
attractive, however until their
eldest son Rick came by the
other day, I never knew how
attractive.
When Louie married Betty
he really hit the jack pot.
Here is a picture of her when
she was modeling. The picture was taken by Wayne
Wilcox of Malibu.
I believe this shot was
taken in the early 50s and she
was in her twenties.

The Aquarium AGE
The Week of December 27, 2012–January 2, 2012
It’s hard to know what to say at the
end of this extraordinarily long year
that seems to have gone by in the
blink of an eye; a year that started
with a painstaking, frustrating, and in
certain instances, excruciating Mars
Retrograde and ended with a painful,
disturbing, and devastating Uranus
Direct. All year long emotional bodies have run the gamut between anxiety and ecstasy, wild expectation and dashing disappointment,
and now, finally at the finish line, far too many of us are suffering from physical as well as psychic exhaustion. Of course, we
can always blame our travails on the stars: 2012 saw the first of
seven Uranus/Pluto squares that will extend to March 2015.
While those of us interested in astrological cycles understood
going into 2012 that Uranus/Pluto contacts are infamous signatures for social change, no one could have predicted the particulars of the turmoil and tumult of the year, nor the depth of resistance to change that seems to ride the surface of our collective
skin. And we are still only at the beginning of this crisis of

change. But it wouldn’t be accurate to say that upset and
upheaval started this year; if you assess what’s taking place
from an evolutionary perspective, the process we’re currently
experiencing started much earlier. Without going too far back in
history, we could start with Pluto’s move into Capricorn in
2008. Pluto signifies change at the molecular core. Capricorn
symbolizes authority, whether that’s personal power, or the
power of governments, institutions, or corporations. Certainly,
we’re in the midst of foundational shifts in all those areas—this
doesn’t mean we’re all in agreement; we’re simply growing
increasingly conscious of and uncomfortable with structures
that no longer serve. Pluto’s entry into Capricorn isn’t the only
contributor to our current crisis. From the fall of 2008 until the
fall of 2010, Saturn, the planetary ruler of Capricorn, opposed
Uranus, the planetary ruler of Aquarius, and a planet I like to
think of as the Che Guevara of the astrological system.
Saturn/Uranus combinations signal the dissolution of the status
quo, and they are often found in the charts of stock market
upsets and the ensuing financial upheaval. But that’s not all.
When Uranus completed its entry into Aries on March 11,
2011, the earth actually moved, and the earthquake in Japan so
profoundly symbolized what was to come—at least to those of
12/20/12
us paying attention—that it felt too big to digest, let alone
metabolize and assimilate into our nervous systems and consciousness, personal or collective. And yet, that is exactly
what’s most needed for the next phase in our current crisis of
change; for it’s no longer a matter of how much the “earth” has
to move to accommodate personal and planetary healing. What
we need now is conscious concentration on how to shift the systems we already recognize as toxic to our personal and collective wellbeing. It’s not just the physical violence that needs
mediation; it’s also the psychic, emotional, and spiritual violence we participate in everyday – violence to ourselves and to
each other – that continues to poison our world. My wish for the
coming year is that kindness will infiltrate our wounds and
compassion will penetrate our hearts, turning revolution into
evolution.
If you know your Ascendant and/or your Moon Sign, read that, too.
Aries (March 21-April l9): Your emotional cup is likely to run
over, but that’s no reason to deny the depth of your feelings.
Honor the truth of your heart, and you’ll skillfully manage the
intensity.
Taurus (April 20-May 20): Embrace the spotlight. Step into
the leadership position. And as you enjoy the position of command, just remember to inspire your team with thoughtful,
compassionate guidance.
Gemini (May 21-June 21): You are moving forward, and so
are all those areas in your life that need attention. Take the time
to make the necessary adjustments, and your willingness to
compromise will help your success.
Cancer (June 22-July 22): Although you’ve demonstrated
keen concentration, the situation still requires consistent focus.
Sure, you’re entitled to a break, but until the time is right, do
your best to stay diligent.
Leo (July 23-August 22): Consciousness is almost always hard
won, and this year was no exception. Acknowledge the fruit of
your labor, by recognizing and honoring just how much you’ve
grown.
Virgo (August 23-September 22): You can attach to the strife
or you can remember that even though the situation feels personal, it isn’t. Yes…I am talking about refusing to engage in
negative projections, yours or others.
Libra (September 23-October 22): It is a matter of authority,
specifically, you stepping into yours and owning what it is you
need. I know I often encourage this internal process, but ultimately, your first relationship will always be with yourself.
Scorpio (October 23-November 21): You can brood about
Saturn’s journey through your Sign, or you can welcome its
presence as an opportunity to transform stagnant structures in
need of creative solutions.
Sagittarius (November 22-December 21): If you thought you
were talking before—Oy! Fasten your seatbelt, especially if you
choose to wield your words as a sword. A word of caution:
Kindness will be infinitely more persuasive.
Capricorn (December 22-January 19): Rather than argue
with significant others, make every effort to find the solid
ground of positive and fair compromise. I’m not suggesting you
give in; I’m simply advising you to lessen the stern edge.
Aquarius (January 20-February 18): There’s nothing wrong
with a time out, but you simply don’t have the time. Honor your
need for quiet by making time to meditate, contemplate, or simply sit without any distractions.
Pisces (February 19-March 20): Hold the sword of righteousness, but make sure it’s not self-righteousness. Yes, you have
penetrating insight into many areas, but that doesn’t mean you
always have the appropriate perspective.

Salamander Is Secretive and Seldom Seen Garden Inhabitant
T
he slender salamander
is a master of subterfuge. This small
amphibian is reportedly the
most common salamander
in Southern California and
can be found during the
rainy season throughout
Malibu—often living al most underfoot—but it’s
rarely identified unless the
viewer knows what they are
looking at, because the
slender salamander is easily
mistaken for an earthworm.
A small salamander that
lives up to the adjective
“slender,” this garden resident rarely grows to a
length of more than four or
five inches—most of that
consisting of tail. It has
short, almost vestigial
limbs, and a body shape
and texture that enable it to
pass itself off as a worm,
unless the observer takes a
second look and notices a
pair of beady eyes.
Slender salamanders do
not have lungs. They breath
through their skin. The local
species reportedly lives entirely on land, rarely traveling more than a few yards in
their entire lifetime. Unlike
most salamander species,
slender salamanders do not
have an aquatic larval phase.
According to an article
written by Elizabeth Jo ckuschi, Inigo MartinezSolano, Robert Hansen and
David Wake on morphological and molecular
diversification of slender
salamanders that was published in the journal Zootaxa earlier this year,
“Slender salamanders of
the genus Batrachoseps
(Caudata: Plethodontidae:
Batrachosepini) are the
most diverse clade of sala-
manders in western North
America.
Wake, who has conducted extensive research on
the genus, has identified
numerous species of California slender salamander
since the 1970s, helping to
bring the total number of
identified species to 19, up
from just two.
The paper indicates that
Batrachoseps “is thought to
be the sister taxon of the
Neotropical salamander
clade.” The current theory
suggests the California’s
slender salamanders ar rived in their current range
by riding the Pacific techtonic plate north over the
course of millions of years.
According to the National Park Service, Malibu's
slender salamander population appears to consist primarily of B. nigriventris,
the black-bellied slender
salamander, and B. pacificus, the Pacific slender
salamander.
All members of the
Batrachoseps family are
only active during wet
weather when temperatures
are moderate. They retreat
underground to estivate
during much of the year,
reviving during the first
rains of autumn, although
year-round irrigation may
increase their period of
activity.
In Malibu at this time of
year, Batrachoseps can
often be found under plant
pots, stones, dead leaves or
even in the cracks between
garden paving materials
like un-cemented brick.
Slender salamanders are
thought to live on a diet of
small insects and other
invertebrates. They are
pletely still and pretending to
be a worm. They can move
surprisingly fast and can also
drop, or detach, their tails, in
an attempt to distract potential enemies.
The slender salamander is
completely harmless to humans and acts as a beneficial
bug hunter in the garden.
Malibuites can help this
small, rarely seen backyard
resident by limiting or
eliminating the use of pesticides and herbicides, by
remembering to be careful
when moving pots and by
keeping an eye out for individuals that may wander
accidentally into pools,
fountains or houses.

A Matter of PUBLIC RECORD
(Continued from page 11)
(Continued from page 4)
LAWLESSNESS
Editor:
Mr. Krashen has conveniently overlooked the core of my
argument with respect to “day workers.” They are illegal.
All other considerations are of secondary importance.
Mr. Crisco presents us with a point of view equally irrelevant and much more distasteful. This is a nation, not of
men, but of laws. My comments reflected the conviction
that lawlessness is rampant, and not just with respect to the
community with which he is so concerned. My insistence
that no one is above the law should not be confused with
racism. His choice to default to ad hominem attacks betrays a character in need of reformation.
It fascinates me that both of the gentlemen seem far more
concerned with the plight of the unauthorized than with
that of homegrown Californians who could use the help.
And let us not forget our brothers and sisters on the East
Coast who are still suffering the effects of that “perfect
storm.”
In my opinion, the view expressed by these gentlemen
serves only to illustrate how we, as a community and a
nation, have come to such a sorry pass.

Re: “Critics Continue to Raise Questions about Lagoon
Construction”: Malibu Surfside News, Dec. 20, 2012. A
more accurate title for the article would be “Critics Continue to Fabricate Questions about Lagoon Construction.”
The slant of the article is obviously biased in favor of restoration opponents. Critics’ complaints make no sense at
all. They are quoted complaining about a few excerpts from
a few emails that are taken totally out of context. Some guy
rants about some sort of imaginary sand berm breach management program that does not exist.
An unnamed Malibu resident’s statement is quoted in the
article “...she perceives as a major disconnect between the
State Parks and the organizations involved in the project...”
This is absurd. State Parks works closely with Santa Monica Bay Restoration Commission personnel and all of their
contractors all day every day. She goes on to say “It’s clear
that they treat us like the enemy, and have done that from
the beginning, instead of like neighbors and partners in this
process. It’s extremely discouraging.” Are you kidding me?
A couple from Playa Vista were active participants in
numerous committees and meetings that helped design the
lagoon project. Then they grabbed an opportunity to make a
bunch of money by opposing it. By spewing years of misinformation and frivolous lawsuits, they made themselves an
enemy. They dragged a lot of well-meaning but naive people along on their hay ride of opposition.
A Malibu manicurist emailed me just yesterday claiming
that “there is no life in the lagoon.” A Malibu realtor recently posted a video on YouTube that shows hundreds of bird
[sic] roosting on a new island in the lagoon.
In my opinion, the lagoon restoration project has greatly
enhanced the ecology at Malibu Lagoon for a remarkably
small amont [sic] of money. We rarely if ever read an opinion like this in Malibu Surfside News. The author makes
absolutely no attempt to interview people with opinions or
information that contradict the author’s obviously biased
opinions. Shoddy journalism such as this article might sell
some advertisements, but does not contribute at all to “The
Community Forum.”

ANIMAL STARS
Emerald was named for her beautiful, startling
green eyes. She will sit on a lap and love you
until she has had enough. She has been in a
cage for so long that it may explain her grumpiness. She is desperate to play with toys in the
wide-open spaces of a home. Please consider
adopting this beauty. #A4503909
Winona is a young cat that enjoys spending time
on a warm, cozy lap. When given the chance
she also likes to cuddle on a shoulder and gaze
out the cat room window and take in everything.
She has a sweet demeanor and would be a wonderful addition to any household. #A4504037
of the WEEK
Izzie, a 1-year-old Chihuahua mix is a bundle of energy. He is
young and untrained, but very treat motivated. It only took him a few
minutes to learn to sit although he would rather be running around in
a backyard or running with someone that loves to jog. #A4483710
Why Lucy is still at the shelter is a mystery the shelter
volunteers donʼt understand since she is such a
delightful Lab mix. She sits on command, is good with
children, walks well on leash, and takes treats nicely.
She is absolutely wonderful in every way. #A4490401

Neither The News nor any of the animal volunteers can determine the appropriateness of a particular animal for a prospective adopter.
This handsome guy is Kyle. Kyle is a gold and white
1-1/2 year old Shiba Inu Mix. Kyle came into our Shelter
as a stray on 10-14-2012. Kyle gets along with other
dogs and would do well with kids. We feel Kyle would
make a happy addition to any household. So come on
down to 600 Aviation Dr. in Camarillo and meet Kyle.
His Animal ID is A561098, and he is in kennel 089.
Hestia is an incredibly sweet, spayed rabbit. She
is cozy and loves to be petted. Hestia is the perfect combination of mellow and playful. She would
desperately like to be in a loving, indoor forever
home in time for the holidays. Come meet Hestia
and her friends and find out if a rabbit is right for
your home. ID A558036, Ventura County Shelter
“Sunshine” has a gorgeous Red Tabby coat with silky
long fur and his tail is a gorgeous wafting breeze of softness. He seems to get along nicely with other cats too—
he is great with a cat in the next cage who keeps putting
out his paw to play. Sunshine has a sweet, calm and gentle nature. He seems like a very young adult, about two or
three years old. Sunshine is a great cat for any home that
wants an indoor cat who will be a true family member!
“Crystal!” She turns on her purring motor the
moment you pet her. Crystal is a happy and
cooperative cat! Put her in a sunny window,
and sheʼs happy. She is easy-going and
affectionate. Crystal is only three years old.
Come meet beautiful Crystal and listen to her
happy, soothing purrs in the Camarillo
Shelterʼs Kitty Cottage!
