1000-foot-long floating storage and regasification unit on the Zuma Beach recreational experience is literally a trip
into uncharted waters. This beachgoer appears to gaze in the direction that the FSRU named Cabrillo Port, a reference to the

Fault Zone Maps Are Critic Alleges Criteria Were Customized for One Applicant
Available for Review A
Major Change Is Coast Fault Status
M
alibu municipal officials
have given notice that
the proposed revised
earthquake fault zone maps for
the area are now being made
available for public scrutiny.
The preliminary review map of
the proposed Alquist-Priolo
Earthquake fault zones in Malibu
was released to the city on Feb.
16 and the public is now being
told about the revisions this week.
The major revision to the map
is the removal of the fault zone
designation to the Malibu Coast
fault splay at the Bluffs Park.
The site has been plagued by
the active designation and a number of former property owners,
including General Motors, have
dropped plans for a think tank or
other use because of perceived
geological problems on the site.
The property was sold about
one-and-a-half years ago, but no
development plans have been
made public at this time.
“That is the major revision [to
the Malibu map]. The AP zone
next to the Bluffs Park site has
been removed,” said Chris Dean,
the city’s geologist.
Dean had no answer to why the
local public was being noticed
about the revisions in early April
instead of when the review period
began on Feb. 16.
“We have the documents on
display. We got the notice out.
This is a preliminary. There is
more than three months before
the final map is issued,” added
the city geologist.
Dean also noted that there were
no other revisions on the preliminary map. “There are no changes
to the rest of the AP zone in the
Civic Center. No additions on
Point Dume,” he added.
Municipal officials describe
earthquake fault zones as regulatory zones that encompass surface traces of active faults that
have a potential for future surface
fault rupture. The zones are established for about 500 feet on
either side of the surface trace.
The maps show the general location of the proposed fault zones
within the city.
An active fault may pose a risk
of surface rupture to existing or
future development. A fault study
may be required before the parcel
can be subdivided or before most
structures can be permitted. If the
property is developed, the Alquist-Priolo Act requires disclosure by the seller to any buyer for
all real estate transactions.
Detailed maps can be seen at
Malibu City Hall, or at California
Geological Survey offices in
Sacramento, San Francisco and
Los Angeles, or can been viewed
at the CGS website at www.consrv.ca.gov/CGSINEWS/news.

controversial city post, a
contract for what municipal officials are calling a
capital campaign coordinator,
apparently will go to the sole
bidder, Susan Shaw.
Shaw, who holds a similar
position limited to raising donations for Legacy Park, stepped
into a swirl of controversy when
her appointment created an
uproar. Some critics called the
selection of Shaw an act of
“cronyism” because of Shaw’s
personal ties to some city council members.
“It was cronyism yesterday
and it is still cronyism today,”
said Richard Carrigan, a former
planning commissioner, who
has been an outspoken critic of
the Shaw appointment.
Carrigan said he could cite the
history of the relationship
between Shaw and Councilmember Sharon Barovsky and
their close business and personal ties over the past several
decades. “Susan is still friends
with Sharon,” he added.
Carrigan, whose most recent
political success was convincing
the voters to not change the
term limits law during the last
council election, said he is convinced the municipal RFP, or request for proposal, was “exclusively designed for Susan.”
He said the original position
called for experience in public
relations, but then the qualifications were changed.
According to a municipal official, “It was the only bid.” The

CHP Gets More Funding to Crack Down on Supercar Speeding
Arrest warrants and felony

against two men who were racing
and caused a collision on Mulholland Highway recently that
left two other men injured.
“A new law that went into
effect on January 1 will allow us
to ask the district attorney to file
felony charges,” said California
Highway Patrol officer Leland
Tang. “Prior to January 1 it was a
misdemeanor.”
The CHP spokesperson said
the stepped up enforcement
measures are an attempt to crack
down on speeders, especially
drivers of high performance vehicles, who are continually using
Mulholland Highway and the
other mountain roads of Malibu
as a race track.
“It is pretty much getting out of
control,” added Tang, in explaining why authorities are cracking
down.

Cabrillo Port Critics Hold Briefing Before KeyHearing
A
coalition of concerned residents and members of the
Malibu Chamber of Commerce, Malibu Association of
Realtors, Sierra Club and other
organizations has scheduled an
LNG briefing this Thursday at
Malibu City Hall to prepare for
next week’s critical California
State Lands Commission hearing
on subsea pipelines for the controversial Cabrillo Port project.
The local briefing will take
place in the Malibu City Council
chambers on the ground floor at
23815 Stuart Ranch Road, starting at 6:30 p.m.
The State Lands Commission
meeting is set for Monday, April
9, starting 10 a.m. at the Oxnard
Performing Arts Center at 800
Hobson Road. A 5 p.m. session
will take additional testimony.
The three-member panel will
vote on two 21-mile long, 24inch diameter pipelines to transfer liquefied natural gas to Southern California Gas Company’s
existing natural gas transmission
system from the nearly 1000foot-long, 214-foot-tall floating
storage and regasification unit
proposed by Australian mining
behemoth BHP Billiton.
Commission members include
the chair, Lt. Gov. John Garamendi, and State Controller John
Chiang. Chief Deputy Director of
the Department of Finance Anne
Sheehan regularly sits in for DOF
Director Michael Genest.
Cabrillo Port would be the first
industrial use in local coastal
waters and could remain in place
for up to 40 years, if approved

The city’s administrative services director, Reva Feldman, who
is overseeing the contract, in
explaining Shaw’s successful
bid, said it was the only response to the RFP.
Feldman said the two-year
contract will be brought back
before the council for final
approval on May 14.
Feldman acknowledged one
of the qualifications required of
any bidder was past experience
in fundraising specifically in
Malibu. “We didn’t want somebody from Timbuktu. We wanted somebody who knows the
community,” said Feldman,
commenting about the qualifications.
After the council made the
(Continued on page 5)
convoluted state/federal bureaucratic process that critics say has
been purposely designed that way.
In addition to safety and environmental concerns (see story on
page three) critics point to visual
impact on an unspoiled coastal
vista. Opponents have put an
image of what the vessel might
look like from a Zuma Beach
vantage point on the website
www.ProtectMalibu.com.
The briefing organizers have
issued a call for public participation, saying, “Attend our meeting
and find out what you can do to
help,” adding that “it is crucial
that as many people as possible
attend the [CSLC] meeting to
show the commission that you
oppose this LNG terminal.”
Also against Cabrillo Port are:
the California Coastal Protection
Network; the Malibu City Council; the Oxnard City Council; the
Oxnard School District Board of
Trustees; the Oxnard PTA Council; the City of Port Hueneme; Supervisor Zev Yaroslavsky; Assemblymember Julia Brownley; State
Senator Sheila Kuehl; the Sierra
Club; the Natural Resources Defense Council; the Environmental
Defense Center and other environmental organizations.
No organization or group in
Malibu has publicly expressed
support for Cabrillo Port, despite
a local Billiton advertising campaign on the project’s behalf and
what appears to be a small number of individual proponents.

Two State Commission Staffs Split on Cabrillo Port
■ Coastal Commission Report Is a Resounding No—But State Lands Commission Endorses It
T
he staffs of two separate
state commissions issued
contradictory recommendations on the application by BHP Billiton to
build a liquefied natural gas terminal near Malibu. And although the
reports are advisory, coastal advocate lawyers said that taken as a
whole they appear to be bad news
for the offshore terminal.
The California Coastal Commission staff recommended that
Cabrillo Port be rejected by that
agency, because it would increase
smog beyond allowable limits,
intrude on a highly scenic area in
an unacceptable way, and kill too
many fish and whales.
But the staff report from the
State Lands Commission, also
released Friday, recommends that
the agency approve the license for
the company to pay the state
$155,000 rent per year to connect
its offshore terminal across a
state-owned beach near Oxnard
and into the state’s energy grid.
staff also recommends that BHP
Billiton obtain a $1.3 billion liability insurance policy in case the
plant, 13.8 miles off the Malibu
coast, would cause that much
damage.
“Our staff has evaluated both
the Environmental Impact Report
and the project itself,” said Lands
Commission executive officer
Paul Thayer. “And we have concluded that the project can be
built under the public trust doctrine, to benefit the people of
California.”
Thayer said the endorsement
comes in weighing the public
interest in building the energy terminal over the 20 negative environmental issues that cannot be
mitigated if Cabrillo Port is built.
Thayer said the Lands Commission is not charged with enforcing anti-smog or coastal protection laws, and therefore did not
consider the same set of facts and
laws that the Coastal Commission
and smog authorities are grappling with.
Although the Lands Commission staff echoed its recommendations from the voluminous Impact
Report, which it wrote over the
last three years, the Coastal
Commission’s staff ripped into the
Cabrillo Port concept.
CCC staff recommends the
coastal panel reject the LNG
ships as incompatible with the
state’s coastal protection plan because they would cause smog and
mar the “highly scenic qualities
of this coastal area (that) are
among the most valued in the
state and constitute a major attraction for visitors to the beaches and
surrounding areas.”
In its 186-page report, Coastal
staff accuse BHP Billiton of
proposing a project that could, if
the company desired, avoid ille-
gally polluting the air. “The Commission believes that the public
welfare benefits of the Cabrillo
Port project are outweighed by
the failure of the project to meet
Clean Air Act requirements,” the
staff said.
The report said the Commission’s objection to Cabrillo Port
would not adversely affect the
public welfare because a better,
cleaner plant could be built elsewhere. “The Commission further
believes that this, or another LNG
terminal should be able to both
supply California with natural gas
and meet relevant Clean Air Act
requirements.”
The Coastal Commission staff
said BHP Billiton would not use
the required best-available antismog technology, would not
properly offset hundreds of tons
of new air pollution, and would
emit so much greenhouse gas that
the one project alone would increase sea levels on the California
coast.
The CCC report said the total
impact of compressing natural
gas in Australia, shipping LNG
cargoes across the Pacific, and
then burning gas to heat up the
fluid at Cabrillo Port would add
26.4 million tons per year of
greenhouse gas to the globe’s
atmosphere.
Coastal staff said Cabrillo
Port’s impact on the surrounding
environment would be incompatible with state coastal law in 14
major areas. The CCC report said
BHP Billiton is mitigating some
of the 14 negative impacts, but
cannot possibly comply with state
coastal laws related to air quality,
oil spill prevention and response,
earthquake and tsunami hazards,
and the visual impact on the spectacular coastal views between
Malibu and Oxnard.
Among other findings, the
Coastal Commission staff report
said Cabrillo Port would:
• emit air pollutants in excess of
federal and local thresholds established to protect public health and
welfare;
• produce greenhouse gases at
levels that would result in adverse
effects to coastal resources in the
form of sea level rise, ocean
warming, increased erosion, habitat displacement, and others;
• create underwater noise at levels that would affect marine mammals;
• put large marine mammals at
risk due to entanglement and
strikes from vessels and equipment;
• alter three billion gallons of
seawater per year, which would
kill fish eggs, larvae, and other
organisms;
• increase lighting at levels that
can reasonably be expected to affect seabirds;
• place pipelines and permanent
anchors on the seafloor that

would disturb ocean-floor habitat;
• discharge liquid wastes that
could adversely affect water quality;
• impose health and safety risks
associated with storing and transporting natural gas;
• harm sensitive species with
construction activities in or near
their habitat;
• close commercial fishing
grounds, entangle fishing gear
and interfere with commercial
fishing activities in port;
• accidentally spill or release
natural gas, fuel, other petroleum
products, and other hazardous
substances;
• present safety issues because
it would be located in areas subject to seismic hazards, including
ground shaking, fault rupture, liquefaction, failure of subsea slopes,
and tsunamis; and
• negatively impact views because of its location and nighttime
lighting along several miles of the
California coast.
report also addresses the same
failings, but said they are not so
significant as to preclude leasing
the land to BHP Billiton for at
least 40 years.
“But remember, we have no
authority under the Coastal Act to
enforce the coastal protection
laws, or under the Clean Air Act
to enforce the smog laws,” said
Thayer. “Our recommendation
should in no way be taken to be at
odds with the Coastal Commission staff – each of us is looking at this project through a different set of requirements.”
Thayer said the state is prohibited by a U.S. Supreme Court decision from charging BHP Billiton a share of what the company
will earn from the project – estimated in some Australian newspapers to be $50 billion over the
life of the project.
“We can only charge a fair mar-
ket value for the land itself, and
our team of assayers and consultants believe that to be $155,000
for the first year,” he said.
Coastal advocates were ecstatic
about the Coastal Commission
findings, but irate about the State
Lands Commission. Susan Jordan, executive director of the California Coastal Protection Network, called the Lands Commission report a “deeply flawed and
incomplete report that distorts the
true impacts of the proposed BHP
Billiton LNG terminal complex.”
Jordan said the lands commission staff “ignore many of the serious health and safety concerns
about this massive terminal and
storage facility that would be constructed just off the Southern California coast.”
She said it was “shocking that
the [SLC] staff would omit the
critical findings of the commission’s own Final Environmental
Push Poll Appears to Promote LNGProject
■ Questions Are Designed to Influence Public Opinion on Issues
Proponents of the proposed liquefied natural gas terminal off the
Malibu coast are phoning people
at home to ask misleading and
biased questions, some recipients
said last week.
Experts said the technique appears to be “push-polling”—a
technique used in modern political campaigns to push public
opinion in one direction without
the participants’ knowledge.
A graduate student at UC Santa
Barbara reported getting a call
from a pollster who would not
identify whom he was working
for last week.
“Similar questions were repeated over and over, mostly along the
lines of ‘the proposed LNG terminal will be 14 miles off the coast,
and it will provide a much safer
and cleaner energy source than oil
drilling. Does knowing that make
you support or oppose the project?’” said Hannah Muller in an
e-mail.
Another question asked if voters would oppose a politician who
voted against LNG imports,
plunging California into blackouts as a result.
“Yes, that certainly sounds like a
true push poll, where poll provides
biased information that will
prompt the responses that the pollgiver is hoping to get,” said associate research professor Chris Weare,
in the USC School of Policy
Planning and Development.
Loyola Marymount University
professor Evan Gerstmann lis-
tened to two of the LNG poll’s
questions, and said “that sounds
like a classic push poll.”
“A push poll is a form of political advocacy disguised as a poll,”
he said. “The numbers from such
a poll are not to be believed.”
Although some poll recipients
said they were led to believe the
questions were being asked by
members of the California State
Lands Commission, a spokesman
for the SLC chair, Lt. Gov. John
Garamendi, said the agency is not
taking a poll on the LNG issue.
BHP Billiton officials were in a
closed-door meeting Tuesday afternoon and would not take a
phone call about the issue. But the

GASEOUS GRASP
Editor:
Politics is a funny game if you can figure out who is lying
the most! For the record I don’t like being lied to. I don’t like
the Sierra Club and have never met an environmentalist that
could state an objective fact if their life depended on it. I also
really don’t care if BPL (sic) builds a liquid natural gas
depot in the ocean.
The Sierra Club is the moving entity that opposes the BPL
(sic) project. They have appointed themselves as the opponent of this project, taking the position that no matter how
safe this project is, it shouldn’t be built!
They have put out many points of information that not only
are not true but defy the laws of physics. These for the lack of
a better term shall be referred to as “inconvenient facts.”
The project is located 15.8 miles past the city limits and
out to sea in the Oxnard channel and is so far away that it
could not possibly cause any type adverse impact in Malibu
other than emotionally. It will not be visible from any beachfront in Malibu! Due to the curvature of the earth, your sight
is limited on flat land to approximately 2.3 miles. You could
only see the project if you were standing on top of a 10-story
building on the beach. This project will not affect the desirability of beachfront property in any way or price of real
estate on the coast. The project can be seen from the east
side of PCH on the horizon and would not affect the desirability at all.
Natural gas deposits have a very safe history. Since their
inception in 1944, there have been only six incidents of failure in 62 years. This was due to human error and defective
materials used due to WWII and were located on land. This is
a much better safety record than most industries in the world
including the airline and transportation industries. Liquid,
natural gas is frozen at 260 degrees below zero. It can’t
explode! Think of it as you would dry ice. If it should burn
(only one fire in history since 1944) and there was no fire
suppression equipment available, the pollutants would be
released into the atmosphere. Being gases, they float up and
would completely disperse within a six-mile radius and have
no adverse impact on the land or the environment. Gas floats
up and doesn’t stick together and head inland to the beach!
The terminal will release between 250 to 500 tons of pollutants a year into the atmosphere during the conversion
process from solid to liquid. To put this into prospective (sic)
for you, the South Coast Air Management District indicates
that over 100,000 tons of pollutants are released yearly in
Southern California from the use of nail polish and hairspray.
During the conversion process the temperature in the
water round the project will increase. Is this a problem for
the environment? My prospective (sic) is that as the normal
tides of the ocean flow through the project and water will be
cooled to the normal temperature.
Abraham Lincoln said, “You can fool all of the people
some of the time and some of the people all of the time, but
you can’t fool all of the people all of the time.” Hitler’s propaganda minister practiced the “Big Lie” scenario. Tell a lie
often enough and people will believe it! The Sierra Club used
the “big exaggeration” scenario. Senator Daniel Patrick
Moynihan said, “People were entitled to their own opinions
on any debate subject, but not their own facts.”
If you read the letter signed by many celebrities you will
see the weasel wording. “Potentially irreversible negative
impacts” and “fatal accidents associated with LNG fatalities.” What does this mean? It is estimated 25,000,000 tons
of greenhouse gases will be emitted. This is not in the Environmental Impact Report, and who did the estimate, The
Sierra Club? The letter cites an alarming congressional
report from 2003, indicating a serious hazard of explosion or
fire. Who wrote the report and is it valid? Rather than investigate this, these well meaning, emotionally thoughtless folks
acted like trained seals, signed a letter full of falsehoods and
sent it out to an unsuspecting public.
They should know better!

Publisher’s NOTEBOOK
Showtime-Plus
F
or the three years that the controversial Cabrillo Port liquefied natural gas floating terminal
has been in the media spotlight, it has been
scrutinized from nearly every perspective. This
attention will have only achieved its journalistic
objective if citizens have been given what they
need to form meaningful opinions about the value
of the project to them as individuals, to their communities and to all the other residents of the state.
The time for study has now given way to the time
for action. If citizens do nothing, a corporate juggernaut funded by the world’s largest mining conglomerate will sail unrestricted through lobbyistcleared waters to what could be a four-decade-long
chokehold on the local horizon and a dominant
role in California’s energy policy that might make
the behind-the-scenes game plans at Enron look
like child’s play. Malibu was able to stop a nuclear
reactor at Corral Canyon. It prevented a freeway
plan from bulldozing the ridgelines along the
coast. This time the battle is at sea. Malibu and its
neighbors have to dive head first into the water and
try to achieve their objectives politically, instead of
waiting for a long and costly court fight.
*****
peaking of the courts, many Malibu equestrians cheer the federal court order that may mark
the end of the wanton killing of horses and the
shipping of horsemeat overseas for human consumption. Equine slaughterhouses in the United
States are now shuttered. A U.S. District Court for
the District of Columbia judge ruled last week that
it was illegal for horse slaughterhouses to pay the
U.S. Department of Agriculture to cover the costs
of their health inspections—another White House
subterfuge to sustain a special interest policy that
was opposed by the public. A bipartisan bill passed
S
the House of Representatives 263-146 last fall, but
Congress adjourned before the Senate considered it.
The bill was reintroduced this winter. Pending further legal action, the matter may now be resolved.
*****
ildlife sightings are becoming more frequent in the greater Malibu area as record
dry weather means more animals have to
alter their behavior patterns in search of water. Rattlesnake sightings are also extremely high. Living
in a wilderness interface area mandates a keen
awareness of one’s surroundings. Coexistence is
worth the extra attentiveness that is required.

Outmoded Commodes in
Holding Pattern at MHS
A
s Malibu High School
students and parents
view their campus,
many say the biggest problem with the school is not
classroom overcrowding,
inadequate library space, or
lack of a cafeteria.
It’s the bathrooms. Disgusting, gross, uncleanable
bathrooms. And bathrooms
are the top priority for
many as the district begins
to look at remodeling and
addition projects over the
next two decades.
The last round of construction brought a new
gym and refurbished auditorium to the school, but
did not address the need to
update dingy restrooms,
with four-decade-old fixtures. And a new classroom
wing was built without any
lavatories at all.
One parent wrote on a
school internet discussion
forum that she “can’t imagine there is a higher safety
or health concern. I went to
this school in the seventies
and I think the same fixtures are still being used.”
To add insult to that perceived injury, new bathrooms being built on the
school’s athletics fields are
yet to open, eight months
after their target date.
The cost of that project
was $624,183, and coaches
have been furious that construction, which was supposed to have been largely
finished by the start of the
school year, continued
through the fall and winter
sports seasons, with unsightly and dangerous
trenches bisecting the student recreation areas.
Teacher anger boiled
over at last week’s master
plan meeting, when coaches peppered district officials with questions about
the overdue bathroom that
assistant principal Rich
Lawson said “has been finished, but not open, for
quite some time.”
“We still have fire alarm
and vandalism alarm issues, and we don’t want to
open that up without that
cleared up,” said Santa
Monica-Malibu Unified
School District Facilities
Manager Wally Berriman.
Purchasing Director Virginia Hyatt agreed that the
bathroom construction saga
was a fiasco. “We had contractor problems, we had
hidden underground wires
that we didn’t know were
there, we had everything go
wrong,” she said.
Berriman told teachers
that the problems would be
fixed, and the bathroom
opened, soon. But teachers
pressed him for a date.
Berriman promised Malibu High students would
get to flush away next
week.

Malibu High Students Get
Fire Lesson with Their Fun
A reward for outstanding Malibu High School
scholars turned into a brush with fire last week,
when they got to watch a huge brushfire that, for
a change, was threatening someone else’s
home town. Four busloads of honor students
were on an outing to Universal Studios when
they spotted a plume of smoke and out came
the cellphone cameras. Within an hour, the
entire flank of Mount Lee was aflame in an
arson fire blamed on two teens playing with
matches in the area.

LAUREN SKOPHAMMER
Pepperdine University’s
International Commercial
Arbitration Moot team
recently won the prestigious
Willem C. Vis East International Commercial Arbitration Moot in Hong Kong.
The team, comprised of
Dan Bane, Jeralin Cardoso,
Ted Holmquist and Malibu
native Lauren Skophammer, competed in a field of
teams from 46 law schools
from 14 countries, defeat-
ing the University of Monash in the final round.
According to Skophammer, the six-day competition involves a “fake
case” with two issues.
Each team is given an hour
and 15 minutes to argue its
side. “The Moot involves a
dispute arising out of a
contract of sale between
two countries,” states the
Willem Vis competition
website. Because of the
nature of the dispute,
Skophammer and her team
mates had four months to
familiarize themselves with
international law.
Skophammer, who grew
up in Malibu, attended
Malibu High and participated in sports, is the
daughter of longtime Malibuites Paul and Jennifer
Skophammer—Jennifer
attended the competition—
the owners of Meridian
Construction in Malibu.
Skophammer, who re-
ceived honorable mention as
best oralist in the competition and is the Interschool
chair of Pepperdine’s Moot
Court, received her undergraduate degree from the
University of California at
Berkeley before attending
Pepperdine Law.
Although she plans to
stay involved in Pepperdine’s Moot Court—
volunteering her time to
judge future competitions,
Skophammer is graduating
in May and will work for
the Ventura County District Attorney’s office after
she passes the California
state Bar exam, a career
she is looking forward to.
“I’m excited, I’ve always felt people should be
accountable for what they
do.” she said. “I’ll be doing my social work
through my job and helping people who can’t help
themselves.

A Matter of PUBLIC RECORD
PUBLIC NOTIFICATION
RELEASE OF PRELIMINARY
REVIEW MAP OF PROPOSED REVISED
EARTHQUAKE FAULT ZONES
A Preliminary Review Map of proposed Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zones was released to the City of Malibu by the
Department of Conservation, California Geological Survey
(CGS) on February 16, 2007. This map is released under the
authority of the Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zoning (AP)
Act that was passed following the 1971 San Fernando earthquake. The AP Act is a state law designed to reduce the hazard from surface fault rupture during an earthquake.
Earthquake Fault Zones are regulatory zones that encompass
surface traces of active faults that have a potential for future
surface fault rupture. These zones generally are established
about 500 feet on either side of the surface trace of active
faults and are defined by turning points that are connected by
straight-line segments. The accompanying map shows the
general location of the proposed Earthquake Fault Zones within the City of Malibu.
What does it mean to be located within an Earthquake Fault
Zone? It means that an active fault is present within the zone
and the fault may pose a risk of surface fault rupture to existing or future structures. If property is not developed, a fault
study may be required before the parcel can be subdivided or
before most structures can be permitted. If a property is developed, the AP Act requires that the fact that the property is
located within an Earthquake Fault Zone be disclosed by the
seller to a prospective buyer for all real estate transactions.
Additional information on Earthquake Fault Zones and disclosure can be found at the CGS website (www.consrv.ca. gov/
CGS/rghm/ap/index.htm).
Location of Where Documents are Available for Review:
A copy of the Preliminary Review Map of proposed Earthquake Fault Zones can be inspected at City of Malibu City Hall

PROTECTION
Editor:
I was appalled to read the letter from
archeologist Dr. Gary Stickel, saying that
his archaeological find in Malibu (CALAN-451) containing a Clovis Point, is
being destroyed and the city is doing nothing to stop it! Why ever not?
If anything, I should think the city would
be doing everything possible to protect,
preserve and cherish this site.
Authentic Clovis sites are rare and wonderful records of the ancient peoples of this
land.
Don’t we have laws that protect archeological sites?
And what about our own Native American Cultural Resources Advisory Committee? What are they doing about all this?
Aren’t they supposed to be guarding our
cultural resources?
In case readers don’t know about the significance of Clovis culture, they can go to
www.wikipedia.org/wiki/clovisculture to
find out.
To sum it up, this site could solve the riddle of how the first Americans arrived here.
I encourage readers to contact the archeologist if they want to do something about
this situation. Maybe there is someone who
could purchase the site and make it a
research center for early man in California?

CELEBRITY MATTERS
Editor:
Celebrity attracts attention. This can be
an annoyance as evidenced by the oppressiveness of the paparazzi. However, this
feature can be used for worthwhile projects.
The defeat of the proposed offshore LNG
terminal is such a project.
It deserves the support of all who live in
Malibu, full-time or part-time. Support by
our local celebrities would attract greater
attention to the project, and this could
impact the decision-makers involved in the
LNG regulatory process.

SPRING YOUNG
Editor:
Spring has sprung, and baby animals are
exploring their big new world. Here’s what
to do if you spot a baby animal: Wait and
watch. Most baby birds, rabbits, squirrels,
deer, and other animals don’t need human
help. Their parents are usually nearby.
Baby birds with a half-inch or more of
tail feathers are good to go. Unless they’re
in obvious danger, don’t put them back in
the nest—they will only hop out again. If
necessary, place the bird on the lowest limb
of a small tree or shrub. If the baby is featherless, gently put him back in his nest (your
scent won’t keep its parents away).
Never try to tame baby animals or keep
them as “pets.”

Conflicting Staff Reports Push Poll Motives Questioned
Impact Report, released less
than a month ago.” Repeated requests for comment or
response to the issues raised
in the reports went unanswered by BHP Billiton
offices in Ventura, Oxnard
and Houston. The company,
however, sent out a press
release Monday saying that
the Ventura Chamber of
Commerce again endorsed
the project’s approval.
Under a bizarre and confusing set of federal and
state laws, the first of several hearings this month
took place Wednesday in
Oxnard, when federal officials took evidence about
the proposed federal license for the plant. The
federal decision will be
released within 90 days in
Washington.
(Although that hearing
occurred while this newspaper was being printed, an
updated account of it will
be posted Thursday at
w w w. m a l i b u s u r f s i d e news.com)
Next Monday, the State
Lands Commission will
take testimony and vote on
the project’s state license
application, also in Oxnard.
If this three-member panel
votes “no,” the project is
dead, and its rejection is
final.
But if State Lands approves it, then Cabrillo
Port goes before the
Coastal Commission three
days later, on April 12 in
Santa Barbara. Coastal will
review the staff report
issued last week, take testimony and then decide
whether the BHP Billiton
application complies with
the California Coastal
Management Plan.
If Coastal follows its
staff recommendation, and
rejects the project, that
means the federal Maritime
Administration cannot is-
sue a permit for the $800
million project. But there’s
a catch: under federal law,
the U.S. Commerce Secretary can overrule the California Coastal Commission
by finding it a matter of national interest.
In addition, Gov. Arnold
Schwarzenegger can veto
the project, but he has no
power to override a negative decision from the SLC
or CCC.
On top of everything
else, the Environmental
Protection Agency still has
to decide on a controversial
exemption that BHP Billiton seeks from the U.S.
Clean Air Act. Company
officials, EPA staff and the
White House are the subjects of Congressional
probes into possible subversion of the nation’s
clean air laws due to pressure from the White House
to approve Cabrillo Port.
expressed outrage.
“Clearly, the vast majority of these loaded questions
were designed to generate a
misleading assessment of
public support for the BHP
proposal,” said Susan Jordan, Director of the California Coastal Protection Network.
“But what is more disturbing is that the poll
appears designed to elicit a
response that could be
used to try to intimidate
the State Lands Commis-
sioners just days before
they are to cast a crucial
April 9th vote on whether
or not the project should go
forward.”

Wine Classic Is Smashing Success Accidents Cause Injuries and
Result in Closures or Delays
A solo spin out caused by
a motorist speeding on
Pacific Coast Highway Friday night left PCH entirely
closed to traffic as work
crews grappled with a
downed utility pole, according to authorities.
The accident occurred
about 8:30 p.m., when the
speeding motorist hit a Verizon wireless utility pole on
PCH, just west of Trancas
Canyon Road. There were
no reported injuries. The
road was closed to traffic in
both directions, apparently
due to the safety issue of
the downed pole, according
to law enforcement officials.
Another accident occurred the day before, when
an Oxnard driver allegedly
drove through a red light at
the intersection of Kanan
Dume Road and PCH and
plowed into a Malibu driver, who was attempting to
negotiate the intersection.
The names of the individuals, who both complained
of minor inquires, were not
released. The Oxnard driver, who claimed he was
traveling through a yellow
light, also did not possess a
driver’s license, according
to a sheriff’s report.
Legacy Park Joint Meeting to
Check Out Design Plans for Site
FUN FOR ALL—Now in its fourth year, last weekend’s Malibu Wine Classic was the place to be for wine afficionados. The event showcased more
than 60 of the most highly regarded wineries along California’s central
coast including Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo and Los Angeles and
Ventura Counties as well as more than 20 of the top restaurants in Malibu
and Los Angeles. More than $100,000 was raised for Childhelp, a national
nonprofit organization dedicated to helping victims of child abuse and
neglect. Not only did participants get to sample fine wines and food, but
the event also provided an opportunity to meet new people as well as
catch up with old friends. Pictured above, event organizers Tony and Tricia Griffin chat with locals Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber.

APRIL 5 • 2007
The Aquarium AGE
The Week of April 5—11, 2007
F
or the next several weeks,
earthly life unfolds with truly
“special effects” and while it
would be an exaggeration to assume
that each day will unfold like a nonstop action-packed passion play, it
would also be an understatement to
downplay the possibility of the ordinary transforming into the extraordinary. The planets are powering intensity—physical, mental,
emotional, and spiritual—and as these deep celestial currents couple with human desire, many of us will be called to
seize the day—every day. Unfortunately, the underbelly of
this power-packed pattern is an undeniable tendency toward
egocentricity. And that means you can expect lots of us—
including thee and me (as well as previously perfectly
behaved dogs)—to be humming (or howling) endless choruses of “My Way.” The best way to avoid getting seduced
by this narcissistic force is to allow the excitement to keep
you curious. And humble. Make an effort to inquire about
opinions and choices other than your own. You may not
agree with alternative choices or solutions, but simply considering an opposing point of view will keep you connected
to reality. A grand trine in fire between the Sun, in Aries,
Saturn, in Leo, and Jupiter in Sagittarius provides the thrills.
Fire signs thrive on action, and when all three form a positive union, sparks of excitement ignite an enthusiasm for
life. Aries must go and see what’s on the other side of the
Moon. Leo has to personalize the adventure. And Sagittarius isn’t fully alive if its backpack isn’t filled with relics
from recent (read on-going) expeditions. And these exploits
don’t have to actually happen—mental meanderings can
suffice (Well…maybe not for Aries.). Fire signs can’t survive without inspiration, which is why they so often provide
it for others, and when their idealism is threatened, disappointment can turn life into a bitter flat line. Remember,
each of us has every sign somewhere in our charts, and that
means all of us experience that fire somewhere in our lives.
There are many benefits to this astral heat, but there are also
a couple of challenges, especially the tendency to believe
that your excellent adventure is more righteous than another’s. As Bob Dylan once sang, “I’ll let you be in my dream
if I can be in yours.” As you work your way through the
intensity, try to be generous of spirit. Taking the time to
respect the passions of others will not only act as a remedy
for egocentricity, it will simply make the world a better
place to live for all of us.

Spell It Out
If you know your ascendant and/or your moon sign, read that, too.
Aries (March 21-April 19): There are only two ways to ruin the
ride: persisting in a pessimistic mindset or indulging an arrogant
attitude. Sounds like a no-brainer, but it will take discipline, skill,
and humility to keep your heart and head positive and balanced.
Taurus (April 20-May 20): It’s hard to feel confident and sure
about your direction, especially when the ground is shifting
beneath your feet, but that doesn’t mean you’re lost. Stay
focused on what you want to accomplish and you’ll stay centered
even in the midst of turmoil.
Gemini (May 21-June 21): All work is…well…you know the
cliché. All play is lots of fun, but not always appropriate. Satisfying your dual nature isn’t always easy, yet find the balance
between work and play will provide a deep sense of satisfaction.
Cancer (June 22-July 22): Be ambitious and don’t hesitate to
make your personal goals a priority. If you’re clear about what
you want to accomplish, you can channel your desire and intensity into the hard work it will take to manifest those goals.
Leo (July 23-August 22): There is no need to push against anything to test your strength—you’re audacious, and everyone
knows it. So rather than using resistance to measure your
courage, simply pursue your heart’s desire—you will thrive from
the experience of unbridled passion.
Virgo (August 23-September 22): It is possible to assert yourself without being overbearing or becoming overwhelmed. And
while it may seem simple at first, establishing a wholesome balance between your needs and the needs of others will take
patience and practice.
Libra (September 23-October 22): Be completely romantic
about what unfolds in your life—love, creativity, friendship, or
business. Just be aware, reality doesn’t have to interfere with idealism. Dealing with practical concerns only enhances our appreciation of the dreamy side of life.
Scorpio (October 23-November 2): You’re in the mood for love,
regardless of your relationship status, and despite the career
opportunities pointing toward success. Go ahead, fall in love, but
keep in mind, part of what makes falling in love feel so good is
how good it feels to not just be loved, but to love in return.
Sagittarius (November 22-December 2): You will not be able to
restrain your restlessness, so rather than wasting your energy
attempting the impossible, give yourself permission to stretch.
Make plans to set sail—even if that excursion happens inside
rather than out.
Capricorn (December 22-January 19) Unruly and mostly unconscious drives motivate uncharacteristic behavior. Allow yourself to
be transformed. I’m not suggesting you behave foolishly, but I am
advising you to move out of habituation and into a new approach.
Aquarius (January 20-February 18): There is nothing to do but
enjoy the ride—no obligations, duties, or responsibilities can
interfere with your happiness unless you want them to. So given
in and delight in how good it feels to be connected, body, mind
and spirit, to those you love.
Pisces (February 19-March 20): Instead of feeling self-conscious, focus instead on how to handle your power with grace
and generosity. It’s not impossible to be gentle in the midst of so
much intensity, and if anyone can handle it well, it is you.

■ Horses Grazing on Point Dume Don’t Need Corrals, Eat Any Hay or Require Much Cleanup
J
oe Wertheimer has
always had an eye for
drama. Big drama. But
after spending 15 years
as an art director and
production designer for television, he was frustrated with the
disposable aspect of his job. After
filming was completed on one
assignment, all of his hard work
would be disassembled and/or
tossed away to make room for the
next production. Wanting his
artistic energies to be geared
toward something more permanent, he left the entertainment
industry to work with architects,
designers and developers to tell
new, lasting stories through his
first loves of sculpture and conceptual design. Today, an enormous array of his works adorn
some of the world’s most decorated hotels, as well as some of
the most private and minimalist
Los Angeles residences.
Starting in 1991 with the
Palace of the Lost City Hotel in
South Africa, Wertheimer sculpted 16 larger-than-life-size
African animals, such as elephants, Cape buffalo and lions, in
addition to hundreds of architectural details including columns,
moldings, and bas relief work. “It
was a most extraordinary opportunity to travel half way around
the world and participate in
something this ambitious,”
Wertheimer says. “We carved 10
hours a day, 6 days a week for 14
months to complete this job with
5800 employees on site.”
The work in South Africa led
to substantial carving, fresco and
sculptural work for the Caesar’s
Palace Hotel, and the Atlantis II
and Mandalay Bay aquariums in
Las Vegas. Wertheimer also completed a 440 foot-long bas relief
mural for the Palm Springs Air
Museum, a 140-foot-long mural
for the City of Duarte, and an
original life-size bighorn sheep
for the Big Horn Institute in Palm
Desert. For some private residences, he has created life-size
figures of the Madonna and St.
Francis, Native American sandstone paintings, and 18 carved
and cast hanging-blocks of
Indonesian noblemen.
A glance through Wertheimer’s
resume takes you around the
world and behind the scenes of
how stories are captured, with
projects ranging from the small
and intricate to the elaborate and

Cliffside Drive View Battle Continues
A
highly contentious dispute between neighbors over view impacts on a remodeling project on Cliffside Drive
appears headed back to the
city’s planning commission,
according to municipal officials.
Television producer Bill
Lawrence, who created the
series “Scrubs,” invoked the
ire of neighbors after he
rebuilt an ocean bluff residence that area residents
complain has blocked their
ocean views.
“Yes, we filed a request to
amend the condition,” said
Alan Block, the attorney,
who represents Lawrence.
After the dust settled on
the planning commission’s
deliberations to approve the
project, one of the conditions of approval involved a
row of trees that were described as impacting neighbors’ views.
Lawrence had originally
volunteered to cut the trees
down, then a compromise
was reached, approved by
the commission, that required the trees along Cliffside Drive to be reduced to
20 feet in height or replaced
with a species that would
not exceed 20 feet at maturi-
ty. The matter was subject to
review and approval by the
city biologist.
The Lawrences have
moved into their beachside
home, but the trees stand 30
feet tall over the Point
Dume neighborhood.
“The trees have been
trimmed sufficiently. We
can’t lower the trees. We
don’t think it is necessary. It
is a better view corridor,”
added Block, who said they
will argue the condition,
which was volunteered by
his client and not imposed
by the commission, should
be lifted.
However, area homeowners, including Sam Hall
Kaplan and his wife, Peggy,
have a different view and
have informed City Hall
about the still standing trees.
They have indicated they
are not happy with the trimming job.
Subsequently, there was a
volley of e-mails back and
forth between planners and
the neighbors about what
might be the next move.
The Hall Kaplans said they
were given various answers.
“We have been informed
that the select species of
trees fronting the subject
properties, and currently a
matter of some concern in
the immediate neighborhood, are in the city’s rightof-way and technically its
responsibility,” wrote Hall
Kaplan to building and planning department head Vic
Peterson.
The Hall Kaplans told
City Hall the trees negatively impact their blue water
views, “as well as those of
other residents and the public and our property values.”
Municipal officials were
also informed how such
trees, whether conifers or
eucalyptuses, are considered
by the fire department and
their insurance company “to
be particularly fire prone
and a potential danger to life
and structures.”
Consequently, they asked
the city to exercise its rights
and take the trees down out
of the city’s right-of-way.
However, City Attorney
Christi Hogin told the Malibu Surfside News the issue
was much more legally
complicated, and the city
does not have the legal right
in this instance to cut down
the trees.
The city attorney started
from the beginning, stating
it was her understanding the
Lawrence’s arborist had

subsequently determined
that trimming the trees back
to 20 feet would kill them
and that represented new
findings from the information presented before the
commission at the original
hearing.
“They have a right to seek
an amendment to the conditions,” said Hogin, who
stressed that contrary to concerns expressed by some of

the neighbors, the city
would enforce the conditions imposed by the planning commission, whether
they were the original conditions or any new conditions placed by the commissioners at the upcoming

The most recent press

The statement indicates
the park project addresses
four key environmental
issues: bacteria reduction in
stormwater treatment, nutrient reduction in wastewater
management, restoration
and development of riparian
habitats and wetlands, and
“just noise,” because of the
underlying easement owned
by the property owner.
“Yes, if we were going to
widen the road, we could
have the trees removed,”
answered Hogin, but she
emphasized that the trees
still belong to the private
property owner and, as such,
must be dealt with accordingly.
