There are occasional surprises as well, such as the elephant being filmed there recently. Its trainers made sure that photographers found it difficult to capture a crisp image. The News received a number of cell phone shots to prove it was there.

The leasing amount of $15 per square foot per month plus triple net has even some industry insiders raising their eyebrows. For the most part, rents at the Malibu Country Mart reportedly run about $10 to $11 per square foot plus triple net and at Malibu Colony Plaza the latest lease amounts are reported to run about $8 to $9 per square foot plus triple net. Last month, the city council directed municipal negotiators to begin work on a master lease agreement. The city manager told council members it is anticipated the master lease agreement would be ready for the council’s consideration in about six months. The prospective partners have tentatively agreed to pay $925,000 per year in rent, winning plaudits from city officials. The lease listing is with CB Richard Ellis and leasing at the old lumber yard site is being touted as an “extremely rare opportunity to lease space in the heart of Malibu, adjacent to Malibu Country Mart, surrounded by premier retailers such as Planet Blue, James Perse, Madison, Ralph Lauren, Ron Herman, Chrome Hearts, Lisa Kline, future Juicy Couture, O’ccitane, Henry Begulin and other retailers serving locals and premier retail customers.” The delivery date is advertised as December 2007, with a grand opening in spring 2008. The old building is described as containing 23,000-square-feet of ground floor retail and restaurant space available with a second level of about 8,000 square feet. Schematics show a lower level divided into nine leasable retail spaces for a total of about 13,096 square feet, with a center courtyard of nearly 4,000 square feet PROPOSED LAYOUT FOR INDIVIDUAL STORES AND PARKING AT LUMBERYARD SITE and a garden center fronting the building entrance. The second level or mezzanine would consist of two decks, with three separate leasable commercial areas of about a total of 6,670 square feet, with some of the area open to the courtyard below. According to local business observers, the lease amounts would preclude most locals or mom and pop retailers from throwing their hat into the ring, unless the Weintraub Sperber Group or the city agree to a sepa- rate tier of rates. Municipal negotiators were instructed by the council to include language in any master lease that the property could not be flipped, or resold, without the consent of the city council. BY BILL KOENEKER Yamaguchi Site Deemed SMMC Officials Take Challenge in Stride ■ Law Firm Seeks Investigation of Their Use of Funding ‘Unsuitable’ for Possible SMC Satellite Campus ■ ■ Trustees Terminate Escrow on Seven Acres in Civic Center Area Malibu city officials announced this week that the college district trustees have terminated escrow on the Civic Center property owned by the Yamaguchi Tokiye Trust. The property was previously identified as a potential site for the Santa Monica College Malibu satellite campus, but was determined to be “unsuitable” for the project. City Manager Jim Thorsen said he did not know what the specifics were for rejection. There was no official SMC statement on the reasons for the trustees action on Monday night. “Several alternative sites have been identified,” said SMC President Dr. Chui Tsang, in the press release issued by City Hall. “And both the college board and city officials are optimistic that a suitable location in the Civic Center will be found for the Malibu campus.” Tsang was not available for comment on Tuesday when The News goes to press. In August, city and college officials had announced the start of escrow on the nearly sevenacre parcel adjacent to Malibu City Hall for $8 million. Since then, extensive trenching was done on the property, a former nursery sometimes known as the “rain forest.” Thorsen said it is probable the rejection of the site was based on test results. When voters approved Measure S in November 2004, it contained language allowing the city and SMC to partner in the planning of a satellite campus by forming a joint powers authority. The measure allocated $25 million of the bond proceeds to be spent within Malibu. A letter has been sent to the California Attorney General’s office and the state Department of Finance asking that the two agencies investigate allegations that the Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy acted improperly when it spent Proposition 50 bond funds. A Conservancy official said the attorney general’s office has already presented an opinion on the matter. “They found it to be perfectly legitimate,” said Rorie Skei, who is the chief deputy director of SMMC. The crux of the letter, penned by the law firm Stradling, Yocca, Carlson & Rauth “on behalf of certain concerned taxpayers,” is that the SMMC awarded funds to its joint powers agency, called the Mountains Recreation Conservation Authority, that were either allegedly misspent because they were not used for the stated pur- poses or that it was improper for SMMC to be giving money to MRCA because “[SMMC] is the de facto operator of the MRCA.” Skei said both assertions are incorrect. “The SMMC and MRCA are joint powers. It is an incorrect conclusion,” she added. The SMMC is essentially, according to the law firm, making grants of Prop 50 monies to itself. “As previously noted by the De(Continued on page 15) View Preservation Pilot Goes Back for Revamp A proposed view preservation ordinance, designed as a pilot program for Malibu Country Estates, was described during public comments as “lacking teeth,” too narrowly focused on one neighborhood and without uniform standards for determining view blockage, when the City of Malibu Planning Commission considered the measure last week. Planning and building department head Vic Peterson acknowledged the implementation of the proposed law would be private litigation and said the measure was designed in an effort to protect what the city calls primary views, saying municipal officials believe anything else is unworkable. Commissioners decided, after hearing testimony from not only MCE residents, but also from homeowners in Big Rock and Point Dume, to refer the matter back to the staff. “The city of Malibu must become proactive and not leave it to the aggrieved party to appeal to the court where unfortunately those with the deepest pockets will usually prevail,” said MCE resident Marilynn Santman, who told commissioners she was dissatisfied with the proposal put forth by the staff. Longtime Malibu resident Leon Cooper agreed and said the proposed law was completely inappropriate for Malibu. “The burden is placed on the person most adversely affected. There is no teeth for a remedy,” he said. Point Dume resident Sam Hall Kaplan said that an ordinance was needed for all of Malibu, not just Malibu Country Estates. He also said any proposed law needs the backing of the city. “For this ordinance to go beyond pap to be a palliative, it needs a city willing to stand in court if necessary with residents (Continued on page 14) HOME PAGE OCTOBER 12 • 2006 MALIBU SURFSIDE NEWS PAGE 3 County Officials Say Threat of DNA Policing Is Unfounded ■ Cracking Down on Bad Septics Doesn’t Require User IDs Despite Spate of News Reports to the Contrary L os Angeles County officials, anxious to avoid $10,000 a day fines for allowing their storm drains to pollute the Pacific Ocean, have approved a $1 million effort to track down what is polluting the creeks that drain through Malibu. But plans to use DNA testing to look for human contamination have fueled breathless, but erroneous, news media reports saying DNA would be traced into individual movie stars’ Malibu toilets. News outlets around the world picked up an Associated Press article Thursday that implied that the individual DNA of Malibu celebrities (and presumably other less well-known residents) could be gathered by court order, and checked against human DNA that might be found traveling down creeks and into the ocean. “Let me make something clear,” said Supervisor Zev Yaroslavksy, at a hastily-called damage-control news conference overlooking the Malibu coast. “We are not any way in the world going to be identifying individual DNA by doing these tests.” Yaroslavksy and county health and public works officials emphasized the human DNA tests would be added to existing tests to see if chronic pollution at the mouths of several creeks originates in human waste percolating out of the city’s septic tanks. “This is not a Malibu problem,” Yaroslavksy said to TV cameras at a news conference at the Santa Monica Pier. “This is a very rural area, and we have to identify what the source is of the material coming down the creeks, a lot of it coming down the creeks from above Malibu.” The supervisor said he got a chuckle out of the wire story that intimated Malibu residents would be asked to surrender DNA swabs to match against ocean water samples. “The DNA testing aspect is very sexy, and got everybody excited,” he said. The Board of Supervisors last week approved a $1 million effort to find the biological source of viruses and bacteria that plague a few sections of the city’s 27 miles of beaches. Although human waste is an obvious target, scientists have said that hotspots near creeks and lagoons may be picking up bird droppings or other contamination from dirty sand. County health department officials already use tests for caffeine and other chemicals that can only be excreted by humans into the environment. If such indicators warrant it, expensive DNA tests can now be used to confirm if human waste caused the problem, but not to identify specific individuals who may have poorly- QUELLER—Health officials use Malibu as a scenic backdrop Friday to dispel reports that DNA samples from polluted creeks will be matched to DNA from individuals suspected of using malfunctioning septic tanks.

Longtime residents say the problem may be the year-round nature of the creeks, which are frequently fed by tainted, fertilizerladen urban runoff. In years past, most Santa Monica Mountain drainages dried up in the summer. At the news conference, Malibu was singled out for praise by Heal the Bay founder Mark Gold. “If you asked me this five years ago, I would have had a different answer,” Gold said. Since then, he added, “Malibu has adopted the strongest onsite wastewater treatment ordinance in L.A. County by a mile.” Malibu City Councilmember Jeff Jennings, who rushed to the news conference when tipped off about it by a reporter, told the media that the community has a strong interest in getting to the bottom of the local pollution. Yaroslavksy agreed, and lauded the city and its residents: “Maybe the pollution is coming down the creek from a mountain lion’s den. Maybe it’s coming from birds, or from dog droppings. We don’t know, but we are going to find out. And if it is coming from a home, they can expect to be visited by us,” he said. BY HANS LAETZ Second School Bus to Alleviate Overcrowding Is Still on Hold ■ Some Parents Criticize District’s Handling of Situation Overcrowded conditions on the school bus bringing children from Topanga Canyon and Sunset Mesa to west Malibu may get some relief this week, while the district seeks to hire another bus driver to alleviate the uncomfortable and unsafe ride. But some parents are furious that the district has sent them a threatening letter that promises to banish students from district buses, if parents continue to drop kids off at alternate, less crowded bus stops so they can have seats. “I find it very obnoxious that the first communication that any of us have gotten from the district in any form on this matter was this threat to these kids that their bus privileges would be revoked,” said Pat Moore, addressing the Santa Monica Malibu Unified School Board Thursday. As many as 85 children cram into the one bus that travels from Sunset Mesa and Topanga Beach to Malibu every morning, most sitting three to each seat and blocking aisles with their bodies and backpacks. The afternoon bus is less crowded because a second bus takes after-school sports and club participants on the same route later in the day. Students on board the bus said it was stopped by a California Highway Patrol cruiser in front of Malibu High School, and boarded by officers. “The bus was unsafe because the aisle was blocked, and it was blocked with kids’ knees, kids’ backpacks, and it wasn’t legal,” said district Superintendent Dianne Talarico. The new superintendent, who has ridden the crammed bus, said she had recommended adding a second bus to the route before the CHP warning was issued. District officials have told angry parents the new driver must pass criminal, driving and licensing checks before the relief bus can be added. In the meantime, about 10 Topanga Canyon riders will get seats on the bus that travels daily from east Santa Monica to Malibu High. District officials said parents cannot allow their children to board the bus at a different stop because of state laws. Some Topanga parents have been driving their youngsters to Sunset Mesa, where they stand a better chance of getting a seat. At the board meeting, parent Justin Clarenbeck said district transportation officials have offered “nothing but denials that there is a problem” on the bus. Clarenbeck said that one bus supervisor tried to prevent parents from handing out leaflets to students to give to their parents. “He yelled at the kids and told us we had no right to talk to them,” he added. That supervisor also tried to prevent a reporter from the Malibu Surfside News from taking pictures of the overcrowded bus, and from interviewing students loading onto it. State law prohibits school officials from restricting reporters, and prohibits school officials from preventing school children from expressing First Amendment rights, including being interviewed or photographed. Principal Mark Kelly, sum- PACKED—Too many riders per bus—sometimes as many as 85 per trip—has prompted the Santa Monica Malibu Unified School District to hire a new driver and add a bus to serve students at the Sunset Mesa and Topanga Beach stops.

In a letter released late Tuesday, the National Marine Fisheries Services said the controversial energy terminal requested by Australian energy conglomerate BHP Billiton will have an unknown impact on whales, sea otters, sea tur- tles and endangered fish. Federal fisheries experts say their requests for additional information from BHPB, some of them three years old, have yet to be answered.

It reads “Take responsibility for my own life?...Is that legal?” But maybe he’s on to something. Perhaps warning signs at the “dead man’s curve” wouldn’t be a bad idea, except that this would leave some 208 other curves along Latigo that aren’t signed. Besides, since many motorcyclists don’t pay attention to the signs already posted, including the speed limit, warning signs alone wouldn’t do much good. Maybe if combined with a stop sign....uh, no, they don’t necessarily slow down much for those, come to think of it. Flying-human-friendly fencing along the entire canyon road could perceivably do the trick, but would probably be prohibitively expensive. Alright, a stoplight at each potentially hazardous turn should do it, assuming that for some reason those otherwise mostly un-law-abiding motorcyclists would adhere to the law pertaining to it showing red. Oh, the heck with it—as one of the best t-shirts I’ve ever seen proclaimed, “The gene pool could use some chlorine.,” I’ll just keep driving really defensively and continue my hope that the innocent are spared. Jimmy Nylund SELF-INTEREST Editor: I’d like to send the following letter to the traffic safety manager of Malibu, if there is one. “Greetings, I wish to apply to close a lane of Pacific Coast Highway periodically, several days a year, including some weekends, to accommodate two or three hundred cars which I failed to mention when developing my property. “I know it will be a hassle to the normal users of the highway, adding 20 minutes or more to their travel over the hump between Pepperdine and the fish market, but it’s for a good cause—cause I need the money. “Now I know there are acres of parking nearby—at Pepperdine, the Bluffs Park, City Hall, the courthouse, Ralphs’ Market, the local churches (which all seem, foolishly, to have adequate off-street parking of their own), and, of course, our beloved Chili-Cookoff site...From any of these, I could bus people up to my property, but I would have to pay for that, and it’s such a hassle! “I admit I overbuilt the site, but you let me. Acquiring additional acreage for just 20 days a year seems like such a waste, given the $2,000,000 an acre price level you set for the swamp land of the aforementioned Chili-Cookoff site. Say, are any hardware stores or other useful ventures coming out of that? I have enough over-priced clothing and jewelry already. “By the way, how are those “girls” doing, still comfy? I hear that you plan to hire one on at a premium rate and that the other went over to Beverly Hills...Maybe I could use one of those ladies to squeeze this project through. An applicant can never have too many friends with powerful friends. “As for those commuters and Malibu residents who are delayed and inconvenienced by the closures—they are not my constituents...Oh, sorry about the Fire Engines and Ambulances. But the delay is only a few extra minutes if they speed down the wrong side of the highway. As you know, every minute counts when someone is dying. “Let me know if you need anything by way of campaign contributions, phone support or word-of-mouth. You wash my back; I’ll wash yours. “Sincerely, and only a little facetiously,” V. Gerald Scordan (Letters to the Editor are continued on page 10) L N G B a n B H P B No! No! No! Cabrillo Port Has Got to Go! Publisher’s NOTEBOOK ‘Driving Out LNG’ N ow that it appears all too obvious after this week that most of the mainstream media are more interested in Malibu celebrities’ elimination habits than their views on public policy issues, it’s time to get the community’s rank and file citizenry in action to show the extent of the local opposition to BHP Billiton’s Cabrillo Port floating terminal project. What’s even better, local opponents can join ranks with liquefied natural gas facility critics from Washington State to Tijuana, Mexico, in a show of force that has the potential to outshine the most slickly-packaged celebrity PR event. Saturday, October 14, is a West Coast “Day of Action” when communities located close to proposed new LNG projects and proponents of clean energy alternatives all along the coast will hold simultaneous demonstrations calling for the rejection of the LNG plants, including Cabrillo Port, that are now on the drawing board. he local “Day of Action” is a joint Malibu/Oxnard event, an opportunity for the two communities to stand together in support of clean energy and in opposition to a coastwide, long-term investment in polluting fossil fuels that would be detrimental to the health and safety of the residents of these areas, as well as visitors to them, and the health and safety of the ocean and all of its inhabitants. Massed in strong numbers, it will be difficult to ignore voices making the case that LNG terminals will exacerbate the greenhouse gas crisis. The emissions from the Cabrillo Port project have been roughly estimated to create about 25 million tons of greenhouse gases per year, or about the same as 4.3 million cars (taking into account the full life-cycle emissions of LNG) . T W ith its foot in the energy door, LNG will displace clean energy efforts by flooding the market with fossil fuels, which utilities will have committed to with contracts of 10 years or longer, creating even greater dependency. The Malibu “Day of Action” contingent plans a carpool cavalcade of decorated cars that are expected to meet Saturday at 9 a.m. in the Civic Center parking lot before heading north to Oxnard Park for food and festivities. For more information about the event, call 310-456-8434. This is a chance to show the media that there’s another Malibu—the real Malibu—and the people who live here care about the planet.

HOME PAGE PAGE 6 MALIBU SURFSIDE NEWS OCTOBER 16 • 2006 Documentary Examines Lakota ‘Spirit Rides’ ■10-Year Project Shows Restored Culture and Pride Among Native Americans I n his film, “Spirit Riders: Riding to Mend the Sacred Hoop,” writer, producer and director James Kleinert documents the ceremonial rides of the Lakota people, and their mission, through these rides, to spread a message of peace and unity to the world. Narrated by actor Peter Coyote and Floyd Red Crow Westerman, it also demonstrates how these rides have brought about a resurgence in pride of heritage to the Lakota youth. The film, which won several awards in 2005 including the Best Film of the Year at the Windsong Film Festival and the Best Documentary Feature film Judges Award at the Zion Independent Film Festival, was shown last weekend at the Malibu Celebration of Film. A visually beautiful film, with intermittent shots of wild horses galloping across the plains and eagles soaring, “Spirit Riders” introduces the audience to the Lakota Indian Tribe and documents how their ceremonies and traditions have reemerged in their culture. Kleinert is so passionate about this subject that he has produced the Spirit Riders Series of three films: “Spirit Riders,” “Peta Yuhi Mani—He Who Keeps the Fire—the Viggo Mortenson Interview,” and “Ride to Little Big Horn.” "The rides focus on the youth," Kleinert said. “The Lakota youth have many challenges in life and these rides introduce them to the horse culture and provide a challenging activity. The rides are drug and alcoholfree so it puts them in a good environment.” The rides began in the winter of 1990, when several Lakotas made the journey acrooss South Dakota from the site of Chief Big Foot’s grave in McLaughlin, to Wounded Knee. Called the “Mending of the Sacred Hoop Rides” or “Big Foot Peace Rides,” they cover more than 250 miles. They begin in mid-December and end on December 29, the anniversary of the infamous ON LOCATION—”When I’m shooting a film, I live in the community because to do a documentary, you just have to become part of the subject matter,” says filmmaker James Kleinert. massacre in which almost letting go of them and to 300 Lakota men, women step forward and create a and children died at the new future,” said Kleinert, hands of the Seventh U.S. who made his first Big Foot Peace Ride in 1998. The Cavalry. Upon arriving at the site, most arduous of the jourthe riders perform the “Wip- neys, this ride has had paring of the Tears” ceremony, ticipants as young as seven, the purpose of which is to completing the 17-day ride “release the feelings of grief, across South Dakota in the dead of winter. Out of these journeys, came the annual “Peace and Unity Rides,” beginning in the summer of 1996, when they traveled from Saskatchewan, Canada to Gray Horn Butte, a sacred Lakota site in Wyoming. Each year the riders journey to a different sacred site, ending on June 21, the longest day of the year when a ceremony is held. A sacred day to the Lakotas, the summer solstice is “a day when the heavens open up and spiritual energies flow through an open door,” says Coyote in the film. The Lakotas have named this day “World Peace and Honoring of Sacred Sites Day.” The rides are open to all, regardless of race or ethnicity, attracting many non-Native Americans including actor Viggo Mortenson who speaks of their impact on him in the film. Since their inception, the message of these rides—peace, unity and sustainability—has spread across the world and on the summer solstice, the Lakota have traveled to Costa Rica, Ireland, South Africa and Japan to share the message of peace to everyone. “Spirit Riders is an international peace and unity movement that involves all people and all races, they are not all of Indian culture.” Kleinert says.” They are attracted to the rides because of the message of unity and sustainability that we are bringing to the world at this time.” Kleinert moved to Los Angeles in 1994, acting and performing stunt work in films, and received his Screen Actors Guild card in 1995. His career was cut short in 1996 after a stunt- related injury. He returned to his home in Wisconsin for a long convalescence, where he had an “inner listening,” which he explains, “we all have things we connect with, and mine was clearly coming from my American Indian roots.” Through a friend he was introduced to someone involved with American Indian spirituality. She advised him to attend an inipi, a sweat lodge ceremony, which he says was “without a doubt one of the most powerful experiences of my life.” As he became more involved with the Lakotas walking the “Red Road,” the Lakota term for the path of spirituality—he started filming the rides and documenting the Lakota culture, a 10-year process that culminated in “Spirit Riders”. “The film just happened organically,” says Kleinert. “As I was experiencing and living this, it was very profound and I started documenting what I was experiencing. I began doing interviews with the elders and, of course, there were the rides.” Kleinert, who is of Seneca descent, explains how, in order to assimilate into American culture, many native Americans denied their heritage. “During the era that my grandfather grew up, being American Indian (Continued on page 15) EXPERIENCE • KNOWLEDGE • LEADERSHIP VOTE FOR • Malibu resident for over 20 years • Supported SMC’s contribution to the purchase of Legacy Park to help clean the bay • Served 30 Years as SMC’s Chief Business 2IÀFHUDQGWZLFHDV,QWHULP3UHVLGHQW &ROOHJH$GPLQLVWUDWRURYHU.&5: (PHULWXV&ROOHJH$GYRFDWH g TOM DONNER Santa Monica College Board of Trustees EX Endorsements from Education & Community Leaders: Mayors: .HQ.HDUVOH\0DOLEX %RE+ROEURRN6DQWD0RQLFD Malibu City Council: 6KDURQ%DURYVN\ $QG\6WHUQ3DPHOD&RQOH\8OLFK Educators:&KXFN*UHHQ.DWK\&RRN0DU\7DÀ'HH0HQ]LHV0LNH0XOOLJDQ .DWK\:LVQLFNL60086'%RDUGRI(GXF/DXUHO7KRUQH/HQ6FKOHLFKNRUQ SMC Trustees: 'RURWK\(UKDUW0RUULVRQ 0DUJDUHW4XLQRQHV +HUE5RQH\ &DUROH&XUUH\ Community Leaders: -R)RJJ 'DYLG.DJRQ 0RQD/RR /DXUD5RVHQWKDO-RDQ+RXVH Unanimous(QGRUVHPHQWRI&RPPLWWHHIRU([FHOOHQW3XEOLF6FKRROV&(36 Santa Monica Chamber of Commerce Paid for by Friends of Tom Donner Committee ID # 1288914 Treasurer: Renate Bentsen www.donner4smctrustee.com HOME PAGE OCTOBER 12 • 2006 MALIBU SURFSIDE NEWS PAGE 7 Having a Ball...

That’s the day Stefan Eriksson learns who will be the judge in his trial on six felony counts of fraud and embezzlement and two driving-under-the-influence charges related to the spectacular car crash. If convicted, he faces up to 14 years in state prison. Eriksson, a Swedish former gaming executive who served prison time in his native country, has been held in county jail on more than $3 million bail, coupled with a hold by the U.S. Immigration and Nat(Continued on page 15) The five candidates vying for four open positions on the Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District Board of Education were introduced Wednesday, Oct. 4, during a forum at Roosevelt Elementary School. The event was co-sponsored by the Franklin and Roosevelt elementary schools PTA and the League of Women Voters. Each of the five candidates—Shane McLoud, Kelly Pye, Emily Bloomfield, Barry Snell and Oscar de la Torre—fielded questions from moderator Barbara Inatsugu that were submitted by the audience. McLoud, de la Torre and Bloomfield are incumbents seeking reelection, while Pye and Snell are newcomers to board politics hoping to gain a seat. In a break with tradition, first up were students from Franklin, Roosevelt and Lincoln Middle School who presented their concerns to the candidates. One student queried the panel on whether class size reduction was a priority. Bloomfield noted that class size reduction requires a substantial increase in funding, stating that “there are many trade offs the board has to consider.” Another student asked why the district did not employ a full-time grant writer. Current board member de la Torre replied that, once again, if the district had the money, the position would be filled. He noted that while former district superintendent John Deasy had brought in approximately $2 million in grant monies, he felt the most critical funding sources for the district are the parcel tax, the ongoing financial agreements with the City of Santa Monica and the City of Malibu and the upcoming bond, Measure BB. After the student inquiries, one questioner from the audience asked what changes each candidate would like to see in district leadership. (Newly hired SMMUSD Dianne Talarico started her three-year tenure this fall). McLoud stated that he “believed in the power of leadership and that it starts at the top,” adding, “I would like to see equity across the district.” Pye answered that she would like to “build community around new leaders and I would like to be part of that dialogue. The focus should be on challenging every child at every ability level.” “I would likeee to see equity across the ” district. Snell said that ”change is good, it brings in new ideas. But children must come first and parents need to be involved.” Bloomfield noted that there needed to “be continuity through change that brings results with improved [student] performance.” A question regarding continued funding of the arts programs was directed to Pye, who replied that “I feel strongly about enhancing arts and music and I hope to bring [corporate] partners on board.” Candidates were pressed on how they felt about the passage of Measure BB, the bond on the Nov. 7 ballot that would saddle property owners with an additional $31 per $100,000 of assessed value to raise money for capitol improvements on all campuses throughout the district. Bloomfield stated, “We [board members] know that voters are concerned about children’s safety and the need for technological improvements. My advice is that if Measure BB doesn’t pass in November, try again.” When asked what are the most serious issues facing the district, Snell, an accountant with three children in SMMUSD schools, replied “safety, and creating socially conscious, intelligent children with a sense of community.” Pye, a businesswoman and longtime community educational activist who has two children in district schools, said that the district needs to “challenge every student and build community by caring for the entire community.” “Narrowing the achievement gap, increased funding and teacher retention because of district economics,” were Bloomfield’s concerns. McLoud said his issues were “achievement for all students, with a focus on low performing schools, increasing efficiency in district operations to become more of a partner with the community and a stronger teacher evaluation system.” “Building new partnerships, reducing class size and focusing on the environment in the curriculum” were the subjects de la Torre felt the district needed to address. Snell said that because he is “a product of Head Start,” he wants to see more general fund monies routed to pre-kindergarten and after school care.

The county is trying to pin ocean pollution on Malibu residents by testing the ocean’s DNA to see if it contains people droppings and then track down the culprits who did the dropping. Problem is there’s a prevailing eastbound current that flows in Santa Monica Bay. This is what caused the small plane that crashed in the ocean off Malibu Road a few years ago to end up jammed in the pilings of Santa Monica pier. The DNA that might be found can come from anywhere in upstream California so trying to isolate the source would be a futile task. Besides, doesn’t commingling DNA, as would happen in the ocean, make it difficult to impossible to analyze. We also have millions of tourists using the ocean every year. Not many of our public beaches have public toilets and it would be naïve to think that the visitors all hold it until they get home. Pamela Anderson may be right when she tells us that the real polluters are the chicken farms. It’s the job of our city council to purge Malibu of this #@*!! chicken farm infestation. Make those feathers fly. A chicken in every pot I say. Jack Singleton someone for this city position without issuing an RFP. Jeff Jennings, to his credit as well, listened and tried to stem the tide basing his position on the right thing being an RFP. The surprise of the evening for me however was being informed that Mayor Kearsley, the complete defender of Ms. Shaw’s overly praised efforts on the Chilli acquisition, had actually used Ms. Shaw in a previous campaign in running for the council. Sharon Barovsky, during her speaking time, of course protested in the extreme to charges of cronyism. Between Ken and Sharon, if one didn’t get the real understanding that Ms. Shaw wasn’t their “bud” then they live on another planet. Oh well, another night at the council. I went there wanting to speak against giving away $20,000 to their friend and it cost us $30,000 instead! If I stay home more, look at all the money Malibu can save!

HOME PAGE OCTOBER 12 • 2006 MALIBU SURFSIDE NEWS PAGE 11 Biggest Nuclear Spill in U.S. History Was Upwind of Malibu Creek Radioactivity Drifted from Accident Site Located 20 Miles North of Coast T he possibility that the largest nuclear accident in United States history dumped radioactive material in Malibu Creek’s watershed was raised last week, when scientists released a series of reports about a secret 1959 nuclear accident 20 miles north of Malibu. State Sen. Sheila James Kuehl on Friday demanded that the current owners of the Rocketdyne site release additional records that were withheld from state investigators about the spread of radiation, as well as tons of poisonous and cancer-causing chemicals, from the facility. Kuehl said she is specifically angry that Boeing will not release its detailed weather data from the summer of 1959, crucial to finding out which direction the radioactive cloud was blown. A Santa Ana wind or other offshore wind event could have blown the cloud over the Malibu Creek watershed and out to sea over the few thousand residents of 1959 Malibu. Officials at Boeing, which bought the Rocketdyne Santa Susana Field Laboratory a decade ago, vehemently dispute the study’s conclusions. “Two major environmental studies, which Boeing was not a part of, examined the site thoroughly and have found there is no health risk,” said the company’s environmental communications manager, Blythe Jameson. “And an examination of the cancer reporting maps shows that there is no concentration of cancers among the plant’s neighbors.” Kuehl disagrees. “We have never seen a federal study that they (Boeing and Rocketdyne) did not have their fingers in,” she said. “Their scientists always show up to testify that they are not responsible.” An EPA study in 2003 discounted risks from the site, where an Energy “How couldllll [this] operate with...such great potential ” ffffffor harm? Department cleanup of spilled and partly-burned rocket fuels and solvents is underway. Several housing projects are planned for the immediate area, which federal officials say is safe for habitation. Kuehl said her job as a state senator “is to make sure development never happens up there.” In the report issued Friday, state scientists estimate that at least 260—and possibly as many as 1800— cases of human cancer could be expected from the airborne nuclear contamination. The report was written over five years by a committee of independent scientists hired by the state at the request of legislators who represent the area. The new state report was hailed as vindication by Simi Valley residents who have been campaigning for full disclosure for 17 years. They said they were shocked to learn in 1989 that rocket fuel oxidizers called perchlorates, cancerous chemicals and poisons were routinely dumped into unlined disposal pits, leached into groundwater and flowed off the research center site in washes and creeks. “It was the end of our innocence,” wrote Dawn Kowalski, one of four neighbors galvanized into action 17 years ago, Writing together in a report released Friday, the neighbors said they were blindsided by the disclosures. “The fact that the state agencies we thought were there to protect us knew nothing about the radioactive work at the site was also a rude awakening.” The Rocketdyne Santa Susana facility sits north of Agoura Hills, with portions of it draining east into the Los Angeles River, west into Calleguas Creek, and south into Malibu Creek. It was used beginning in 1946 for rocket engine tests that sprayed deadly chemicals onto the ground, which may have leached into surface water runoff, and the secret nuclear project beginning in 1949 saw 10 small reactors located there. No one was told in 1959 when a small nuclear reac- PATH—Smoke and ash from the September 2005 fire that burned across the former Rocketdyne Santa Susana Field Lab blew south toward Malibu.

HOME PAGE PAGE 14 MALIBU SURFSIDE NEWS Planning Commission Explores View Ordinance whose views and property values are being compromised by negligent or thoughtless neighbors,” he added. A Big Rock resident told commissioners she had lost most of the ocean view she once enjoyed, and she was also losing the value of her property. “It is so much better if the city takes over. The city has passed so many other laws. We can enjoy our view without paying for an attorney,” she said. Realtor Paul Grisanti said the current proposal “is a mishmash of touchy-feely,” but that nothing would get accomplished. “You have to have a clear standard. We need something simple. How are you going to prove a pre-existing view? It is an enforcement nightmare. It is sponsored by S Ahi N r p ew r m iv e en d t The McIntyre Family not a well written ordinance,” he said. Panelists were quick to acknowledge they believed view blockage is an important issue, but were stymied about how to proceed. “It is a major problem. There is a battle on our street. Many of the suggestions couldn’t fly at all. The oak trees are protected, so are the sycamores. I don’t believe we have a stick to enforce it,” said Commissioner John Sibert. Commissioner Les Moss said, “This is not simple. Maybe this is a start. I was stunned to see the Malibu Country Estates [photos] without trees. Maybe there can be some wordsmithing and we can try this out. There is the expense. There may be some people who can’t afford to cut down trees,” Moss added. Commissioner Joan House wanted to know if there was something that could be devised that didn’t require a burden of proof. “Rather than a burden of proof, why can’t we determine the primary view,” agreed Chair Carol Randall. Peterson acknowledged that code enforcement is the key, but questioned just how much enforcement powers Malibu residents realy wanted to cede to the city in light of what he called the “witch hunt” six years ago, when citizens revolted against the minimum level of enforcement at the time. City officials said it could cost up to $300,000 a year to administer an ordinance recommended by many of those who testified. Rugs, Art, Antiques.

The application, which was determined to be incomplete by the panel on a 4-0 vote, with Randall recusing herself since she lives 500 feet from the proposal, calls for a 10,517square-foot house, with a 4,090-square-foot basement, pool, tennis court and existing access road that would be widened and improved. The request requires several variances, site plan reviews and other waivers. While most of the concerns expressed by the public dealt with the access road and how it would impact the 27 neighbors on Seaboard who currently use the road, the commission deemed the application incomplete because there was no lot line adjustment application before them. The planning commissioners quizzed a fire official about department requirements. “There is a 40foot-wide easement, but there is the encroachment by 27 property owners. It would not be reasonable to tell [the applicant] that he has to have a 20-foot-wide road. That would kill the project. If the driveway exceeds 150 feet, we can require turnouts. There are three proposed turnouts,” said Captain Jim Jordan. BY BILL KOENEKER Impact on Whales (Continued from page 3) the LNG terminal to complete an assessment of its impact on endangered animals, and coastal advocates had zeroed in on perceived errors in the Cabrillo Port application. The federal letter lends credence to objections filed by the California Coastal Protection Network and by Oxnard and Malibu residents. In the new letter, NMFS administrator Rodney McGinnis said that the BHP Billiton LNG proposal was in error when it said sea turtles and three species of whales were “very unlikely” to be found in the Santa Barbara Channel, when they are seen there frequently. Because of that error, NMFS said it could not examine whether loud, continuous noises from natural gas ovens at Cabrillo Port could harm passing whales. “The determinations made for marine mammals,” McGinnis wrote, “are either incorrect or insufficient.” Among impacts underestimated by BHP Billiton is the danger of LNG ship collisions with whales known to frequent an area that, according to BHPB documents, is devoid of the large creatures. McGinnis indicated that the amount of undersea noise that would be created by Cabrillo Port could “have a deleterious effect on marine mammals by causing stress or injury, interfering with predator/ prey detection, and changing behavior,” as well as cause temporary or permanent loss of sound, a possibly deadly impact that is not addressed by Billiton. The federal official said a map of noise impact areas still has not been produced by BHP Billiton. NMFS said some of the data it is seeking has yet to be delivered three years after BHP Billiton was told it needed to provide it to the agency. A second version of an Environmental Impact Report is nearly six months behind schedule, as state officials grapple with 1400 supposed safety, terrorism and environmental impact errors and omissions spotted by critics of Cabrillo Port. The NMFS letter was written last July, but only released by the federal government late Tuesday, too late for the newspaper to solicit comments from BHP Billiton and environmentalists. “[Underseaiaa noise] could have a deleterious eeeeffect... ” BY HANS LAETZ Over 1/2 Billion Dollars Funded Locally!

A few minutes later, while reaching for something on a shelf, she saw her purse was lighter, and turning around, saw the suspect behind her—his right shoulder almost touching her left shoulder. She saw the suspect walking down the aisle, reached for her wallet but noticed that it was missing. She walked down the aisle to find him but realized he was gone. She notified her credit card company immediately.

Because of SMMC and MRCA’s significant and continuing violations of California law, the taxpayers believe that only the institution of legal action will serve to stop SMMC and MRCA’s illegal expenditure of public funds,” the letter states. Skei said the charges two years ago were addressed by the two state agencies, which found no wrongdo- ing and the SMMC’s actions to be perfectly legitimate. She said the two grants being questioned by the taxpayers were specifically approved by the attorney general’s office. Citing state policy, Skei said the bond money may be used for planning and legal services. “That is the law,” she added.

Spring isn’t the only time of year to clean those closets. Autumn is also a time of distillation, when the early winds of winter separate the wheat from the chaff, and we experience the spiritual longing to know our value and worth in the world. Several astrological patterns reflect the current change of season. First, the Sun, Mars and Venus are all conjunct in Libra, the sign symbolized by the scales, which represent the ability to measure and weigh choices, especially as those decisions relate to the people who populate our lives. Expect lots of people, including you, to be going through lots of changes about relating. This planetary threesome signifies an amalgamation of vitality, idealism and the desire for wisdom that often produces creativity with a cause. Remember, creativity isn’t limited to an art or a craft; creativity is also an attitude that views transformation—death and rebirth—as an essential part of the flux of life. The second pattern is a square between Jupiter and Saturn that’s closing into an exact position on October 25, T and as the gap narrows the intensity of its influence expands. This is the first square between Saturn and Jupiter since they were conjunct in Taurus at the end of May 2000. Don’t be surprised if you’re revisiting decisions made six years ago. This square is an opportunity to refine your perspective on those choices, as well adjust reactive behavior and patterns taken on at that time. The ongoing trine between Saturn and Pluto also continues to tighten its position. This is the first positive contact since the opposition of 2001/2002. The interesting thing about Pluto, despite its so-called demotion, is that even when it forms a positive angle, whatever is lingering, or in this case malingering, as part of that contact, must be exhumed, examined and put to rest, before the benefits can be realized. Unfortunately, that translates into the likelihood of many, many more disturbing revelations about what’s been going on behind the scenes, collectively and personally. And this week, a trine between Uranus, the master of startling plot twists, and Mercury, the ruler of all things mental, promises that what is revealed is sure to blow the mind. As the week unfolds anticipate a tendency, yours or others, to cry at odd times. From the perspective of Chinese medicine, autumn is the metal season—a time to let go, but also a time to take in. Breath is the universal symbol for that eternal motion. So, as you move through the many transitions that lie ahead, The PUZZLE Sign Language ACROSS 1 Wash basin holder 8 Chopped finely 13 Form a union? 18 Still on the plate 19 Maestro Toscanini 20 “Raging Bull” star 21 In a flat 22 Sign at a poker table? 24 Most bummed 25 Yellow fruit 26 Ref. tome 27 Tubes 28 Grandson of Adam 29 Stops on a rep’s rte. 31 Quite a bit 33 It’s sold in bars 34 “__ Rosenkavalier” 35 BWI postings 36 Most askew 37 Actor Jared 38 __ Rouge 40 Image maker, for short 41 Central spot 42 Of a pelvic bone 44 Prologue, e.g. 47 Was rude, in a way 50 Cleric’s home 51 Element No. 5 52 Poet Thaxter 53 U.K. telly choice 56 Hampshire’s home 58 Sonar sound 59 Paperless exams 60 One caught in a pot 61 Foofaraws 62 Court org. 64 White House monogram 66 Lao-__ 67 Like Solomon 68 Bud’s bud 69 “The Planets” composer 71 Bocelli delivery 73 Papal bull, e.g. 75 Doodlebug’s prey 76 Plain sect 77 New Haven student 79 Vendors’ spots 80 Alchemist’s brew 81 Without letup 82 Lover in Moliere’s “The Miser” 83 It may be close 86 Knotty situation 088 Ltrs. on seconds 090 Nabors role 091 It’s attractive 093 Prop up 094 Gen.

And encourage your fellow travelers to do the same. If you know your ascendant and/or your moon sign, read that too. Aries (March 21-April l9): While the cliché “neither a borrower nor a lender be” is often true, sometimes borrowing or lending provides the necessary support for success. There’s no hard and fast rule about money—it’s simply a matter of how you handle it. Taurus (April 20-May 20): It’s an identity crisis, and the crux of the intensity is focused on how you get your needs met by others. Be aware, this process isn’t about entitlement. It’s about the clarity of what’s needed next. Gemini (May 21-June 21): Your words can soothe, agitate, or offer penetrating insight into perplexing situations. Use your skill at communicating with a wide range of people about a variety of subjects, and you’ll achieve the desired results. Cancer (June 22-July 22): Surrender is not your strong suit and letting go doesn’t come easy. But if you could learn to volunteer for a new approach, the shifts in your life will feel less like loss and more like a change of heart. Leo (July 23-August 22): Stimulating conversations with friends and associates trigger your creative process and allow you to make the necessary adjustments and refinements to your plans. Stay flexible, and you’ll be able to handle almost any situation. Virgo (August 23-September 22): The ability to ask for help when you need it an essential quality of a strong, healthy body and soul. So seek the opinion of those your respect, and consider the advice even if it is radical. Libra (September 23-October 22): There’s no need to be shy about shining brightly, especially if you remember to illuminate the equally brilliant presence of others. Your light will only be enhanced by your generosity. Scorpio (October 23-November 21): Trust your intuition, particularly in instances when you need to make a quick assessment of an intense situation. Just don’t assume an outcome before you validate your hunch. Sagittarius (November 22-December 21): Rather than resist, be open to the possibilities. Sure, it’s gonna require a little work. And yes, you’re gonna have to suit up and show up, but there’s gold in those hills and it’s just waiting to be mined. Capricorn (December 22-January 19): Surprising work-related circumstances consume your energy and attention. Set a comfortable pace that allows routine tasks as well as “emergencies,” and you’ll manage the situation with skill. Aquarius (January 20-February 18): Continue to have the courage of your convictions and you’ll not only strengthen your resolve, you’ll inspire others to be idealistic as well. Teaching by example is an efficient and effective way to transmit ideas. Pisces (February 19-March 20): It’s not the same old song—not at all—and that could be part of the problem because letting go means not having anything familiar to hold onto. Don’t let that stop you— the time is right to shift both attitude and direction. BY RALFEE FINN Copyright © 2006 Give Blood. Give Life.

How does a 28-0 blowout sound? “It gives the boys proof that, right now, every team we face is 0-0,” said coach XC Race Roundup The Malibu High School Cross Country Division IV Sharks competed with teams from much larger Division I and II schools at last Friday’s Dos Pueblos Invitational held at Shoreline Park in Santa Barbara. The athletes ran by class. Gianna Fote looked strong in the freshman girls field, tying for third at 21:10. Sophomore Katie Rollins missed a medal by one second, coming in 21st at 24:02. Cameron Burrell medaled in the junior heat at 18:00, earning 19th place. The senior girls team captain Becki Ottusch also tied for third in her race at 20:35, and senior boys team captain Stopher Eldridge tied for a medal for 14th place at 17:23. XC enthusiasts say that this is the first time the MHS Sharks have fielded such strong boys and girls teams. They say the Sharks are holding their own against highly competitive teams, putting them on the road to CIF competition. The Sharks host their home meet this Thursday, at 3:30 p.m. at the MHS track. TEAM SPIRIT—The Junior Sharks boys are jubilant after good runs: (from left) Nick Burrell, Dylan Gil-Gomez, Gabriel Sloggy, Ryan Needle, Cameron Burrell (medalist) and Michael Bornstein.

DENISE MALONE PHOTOGRAPHER 310.457.0951 (By appointment) Ray Humphrey after the game. Friday night, the Sharks executed nearly perfect offense, executing no offensive turnovers as they controlled the field from start to finish, rolling over the Daniel Murphy High School Nobles. Playing at historic Jackie Robinson Stadium in the Crenshaw District, the Sharks offense took command, aided by the firsttime appearance of running back Miles Brooks. The senior has watched the Sharks amass a 1-3 record while healing from a serious automobile accident, but was able to suit up for the first time last week. Junior standout J.P. O’Fallon scored the first two touchdowns, first with a leaping catch in the right end zone from 16 yards out. And with 13 seconds left in the first half, the Dusty Kramer-to-O’Fallon handoff combination was successful again, and the Sharks took to the locker room with a 14-0 halftime lead. Brooks cashed in with a three-yard pass early in BUSY BLUR—Defensive linemen Marshall Cary (66) and Justin Hale (61) are 12 yards inside the Daniel Murphy defensive line, ready to sack the Nobles quarterback when he unloads the ball towards an invisible receiver.
