RANSITION This verdant setting in Solstice Canyon Park is a reflection of the seasonal schizophrenia that is passing for
weather during November. During one week, a wintery nip cools the air, and light-to-moderate rains nourish local streams
and plant life. Even as this occurs, those who take a close look will see that the season’s normal drying process is still taking

place. This week s strong Santa Ana winds will hasten that drying and put the community on wildfire alert.

Malibu Voters in Line with State Except on Prop. 74
■ Electorate Splits Closely on Schwarzenegger Agenda to Change the Balance of Power
M
alibu voters joined voters statewide in rejecting Governor Arnold
Schwarzenegger’s self-described
reform menu for California—
with a notable exception.
Unlike statewide totals defeating all four of the governor’s contentious ballot measures, incorporated and unincorporated Malibu’s 11 precincts approved Proposition 74, to lengthen the probation period for new public school
teachers.
Statewide, Proposition 74 approached landslide proportions
when it was dumped by voters on
Tuesday—55 percent voting no,
45 percent marking yes on their
ballots, according to the state’s
still unofficial election count.
In Los Angeles County, the
margin of defeat was even wider,
62 percent thumbs down, 38 percent voting yes, according to the
county clerk’s election tally.
But the picture in Malibu was
different, as voters in the six
municipal precincts and five unincorporated Malibu precincts—
labeled Malibu Heights by the
county Registrar-Recorder’s of-
fice—approved the measure.
The final count showed the 11
precincts voting 1,644 for the
measure, 1,564 against the proposition, according to the Los
Angeles County Clerk’s current
vote tabulation.
Among the municipal precincts
with the strongest pro-74 tallies
were: eastern Malibu, Malibu
Park and Trancas, and the Malibu
Canyon area precinct, which
includes Malibu Colony and Malibu Country Estates—where a
number of Pepperdine University
staff and faculty reside.
In unincorporated Malibu, the
upper eastern Malibu area and the
Pepperdine campus—where most
students who are registered locally vote—Proposition 74 passed
by sizable margins.
If the two Pepperdine-influenced precinct tallies are subtracted from the total, the measure would have lost in Malibu,
resulting in the same “no-no-nono” statement on the governor’s
agenda that is reflected by the
statewide numbers.
Proposition 74 would have increased the period of time in
which a new schoolteacher could
have received tenure from two
consecutive school years to five
consecutive years.
Only Indiana and Missouri
have a five-year mandatory period for public school teachers to
receive permanent status, according to the state Legislative Analyst’s office. Eight states share
California’s two-year requirement for teacher tenure—Illinois,
Maine, Maryland, Mississippi,
Nevada, New Hampshire, Vermont and Washington, the analyst’s office reported in the state
voter guide.
Proposition 74 also would have
changed the way teachers could
have been dismissed. Two negative evaluations of a teacher
would have allowed the school
board to fire an instructor without
giving the teacher a chance to
improve performance; it would
also have reduced current performance documentation requirements of the school board.
Harry Keiley, the president of
the Santa Monica-Malibu Classroom Teachers Association, said
that the ballot tallies for Pepper-
dine-population areas were not
surprising.
Keiley said, “The voters of
California clearly repudiated 74.
It was a misguided and shortsighted proposition that would
have done nothing to improve the
quality of public schools [and]
would have created an even
greater crisis with regard to the
teacher shortage.”
Malibu voters mirrored statewide opposition to the governor’s
three other measures: Proposition
75, requiring unions to get written permission from members to
use their dues for political campaigns was defeated 1,611 to
1,601; measure 76, to place a cap
on state spending and to give the
governor new budget powers,
was voted down, 1,836 to 1,358;
and Proposition 77, to allow a
panel of retired judges to draw
legislative districts, was defeated
1,678 to 1,516.
Malibu voters also reflected
state voters’ rejection of Proposition 73, requiring parental notification for a minor's abortion;
measures 78 and 79, on prescription drug discounts; and Proposi-
tion 80, on electric service providers.
Also bucking the local tide on
these measures was the Pepperdine-area precinct, where Propositions 73 and 74 were strongly
supported. The voters there also
supported Propositions 75 and 76,
indicating across-the-board support for the governor’s initiative
package. This precinct also went
for Proposition 77, but opposed
Propositions 78, 79 and 80.
In the City of Malibu, which
has 8,550 registered voters in its
six precincts, the turnout was
32.34 percent, the county clerk
reported. In the five precincts of
the unincorporated area of Malibu, there are 1,970 registered
voters, and the turnout was 27.66
percent, according to the same
voting data source.
The local percentages are well
below the statewide voter turnout
of 44.5 percent reported by the
Secretary of State’s office.
Provisional ballots are still being counted by the county. All
election results are unofficial until
final certification on Dec. 6.

More Details Become Known Possibility of New
about Missing Malibu Man Malibu Sheriff’s
■ Investigation Focuses on ‘Accident’ at Deer Creek Beach
A
uthorities still have not
learned the whereabouts
of a missing Malibu man
who may have been involved in a
“mystery accident” that took
place nearly two weeks ago on
Deer Creek Beach. Agency personnel and family members have
come to suspect the accident victim was Devin Goodman.
Authorities were notified of a
truck that was found upside down
on the Ventura County Beach—
in the Malibu 90265 zip code—
on Nov. 5. However, no one was
at the scene when officers responded to the call.
Law enforcement officials who
have been searching the coastline
for the last week said this week
that they have not turned up a
body and added that they have no
more leads to pursue in the investigation of the events surrounding
what they believe was a solo
accident.
“The investigation is on hold.
We are still waiting to find out
who the driver is,” said a spokesperson for the California Highway Patrol, about the current status of the accident investigation.
Authorities confirm that the
truck found at Deek Creek Beach
is registered to Devin Goodman,
who has not been seen since the
crash. Family members, who live
in Deer Creek Canyon, filed a
missing persons report shortly
after the incident.
DEVIN GOODMAN
“I won’t close the case until a
body is found or we find Devin,”
said Mike Powers, a detective
sergeant with the Ventura County
Sheriff’s Department.
However, Powers said it was
his personal opinion that after
studying where the vehicle landed, the skid marks, the CHP re-
port and photos, that Goodman, if
he was at the wheel, could not
have survived the crash.
“There is evidence the driver
was not wearing a seat belt,” said
Powers, who indicated that he
surmised from his interviews that
Goodman often did not wear a
seat belt.
Additionally, several personal
effects that are believed to be
Goodman’s were found at the
scene of the crash, including a
sandal and an arm cast.
“We showed them to Devin’s
mother, and she believed them to
be Devin’s,” the detective added.
Powers said Goodman was last
seen at the Trancas Chevron gas
station just 10 minutes before the
time of the accident. The detective also said Goodman was
alone when last seen alive.
The homicide and missing persons detective was quick to deny
any validity to the rumor about
some unidentified tattooed individual having been in Goodman’s
company before the mishap
“That is a negative,” Powers
said. “There is no reason to suspect foul play or to suspect sui(Continued on page 14)
Station Explored
■ Funding Will Be Key Determinant
C
aptain Tom Martin, who
oversees the Malibu Lost
Hills Sheriff ’s Station,
came to last week’s Malibu
Chamber of Commerce luncheon
to lay out in detail the kind of station he envisioned for the coastal
enclave if there was any money
to open one.
Martin ruled out returning to
the former sheriff’s station at the
county complex at the Civic Center, saying that was no longer
owned by his department. He
indicated he imagined the station
could be a stand-alone building,
space in a shopping center or
other kind of office building. “I
really like the Coldwell Banker
building,” he said.
The office building, located on
the corner of Webb Way and
Pacific Coast Highway, could
end up being owned by the City
of Malibu if the purchase of the
Chili Cook-Off site is completed.
However, it remains unclear if
the city could afford to utilize the
building for law enforcement if it
needs the money generated by
lease payments.
Martin said he would assign a
lieutenant sergeant to oversee the
operations of 31 deputies. The
station would also include a public counter open seven days per
week or whatever is affordable.
“There would be no need for 24
hours,” he added.
“We need something large
enough to house people and for
interview rooms. We need about
10,000 square feet to establish
this,” he said.
Martin readily acknowledged
the “hard part” is coming up with
the money to fund such an operation. The annual costs would be a
little less than $8 million per
year, and the startup costs could
have a price tag of from $14 million to $20 million. He said the
county has no money, but funds
might be obtained from grants.
“It will take a private/public partnership,” he said.
Martin said to answer the ques(Continued on page 22)

Grants Not Available Two Malibu Men Killed in Crash
to Finance the Chili on Coast Highway Last Saturday

■
■ City Council Plans to Borrow Funds
T
he announcement this
week at the Malibu City
Council
meeting by a
Malibu Coastal
Land Conservancy official that
the organization
would match up
to $500,000 contributions given
to the city for the
acquisition of the
Chili Cook-Off
site was overshadowed by the
startling revelations by city officials that most of
the government
grant funding has
probably been lost for purchase of
the property.
“The $8 million of grants are at
risk,” said City Manager Katie
Lichtig, explaining to city council
members why a complicated
alternative financing plan for
acquiring the Cook-Off site
offered for sale for $25 million
would need to be approved.
Lichtig, who had never before
given a hint of problems with the
granting agencies, said one of the
biggest hurdles seemed to be the
requirements and restrictions
placed on all of the agencies by
the state Department of General
Services about how appraisals
must be done.
Lichtig said the state agency
requires two appraisals and demands certain conditions on the
appraisals that city officials were
not aware of and did not require
of their appraiser.
Additionally, the state indicated
the appraisal of $35 million was
too high and insisted on one
forabout $4 million less.
Consequently, a contingency
plan was put together, according
to Lichtig, whereby the city
would
not
depend on the
government
grants for purchase funds, but
rather rely on a
complicated
financing
scheme using
what is called
certificates of
participation, or
COPs. The grant
money, she said,
could be used
possibly at a later
date for the clean
water
projects
proposed for the site.
Over $15 million of the socalled COPs would be issued.
The future lease payments of the
commercial buildings on the Chili
Cook-Off site would be leveraged
to borrow dollars to acquire the
property.
The alternative financing plan
calls for the city to issue $15.7
million in COPs. That figure,
according to municipal officials,
is based on the most recent information from the seller about how
much revenue is generated by the
leases.
After the meeting, Lichtig confirmed that instead of the
$900,000 per year in revenue, the
leases, including a new tenant
poised to move into the old lumber company building, will be in
excess of $1.3 million per year.
The old lumber company building lease is expected to generate
about $875,000 per year when the
new tenant takes over. The leases

County Clarifies Las
Flores Road Closure
Las Flores Canyon Road, from
Gorge Road to Hume Road, is
currently closed to traffic seven
days a week from 8:30 a.m. to 5
p.m. due to ongoing construction
work to clear a substantial
amount of loose landslide debris
brought down during last winter’s
heavy rains.
Work mandating the monthslong closure has a projected completion date of Dec. 23.
Las Flores Canyon Road may
be subject to additional or extended closure times if wet weather
interferes with project completion. Conversely, if the contractor
is not working during regularly
scheduled closure hours, the road
will be opened to traffic.
To obtain the most current
information regarding the status
of the closure, check the regularly updated Las Flores Canyon
Road Closure Hotline at 1-800218-0018 or visit LADPW.ORG
and click on “road closures.”
Electronic message boards posted
throughout the community can
also provide information.
KEITH NAYLOR
Keith Naylor, 22, and Tyler
Love, 22, who both graduated
from the local high school in
2003 and roomed together for a
year in college in Santa Barbara,
were traveling on PCH on
Saturday evening when the vehicle in front of them suddenly
made a U-turn and the motorcycle driven by Love—Naylor was
a passenger—crashed into the
vehicle, according to Detective
Mike Dunn of the Los Angeles
Police Department.
The driver of the vehicle, his
wife and three children were
unharmed in the fatal mishap,
said Dunn, who indicated that
the accident, which closed down
the highway until 2 a.m., is still
under investigation.
“There were 20 to 30 feet of
skid marks prior to impact,” said
the investigator, who added the
motorcycle “laid down prior to
impact and traveled another 25
feet.” Love was pronounced
dead on the scene, and Naylor
was taken to an area hospital
,where he died of his injuries.
Both men, who spent most of
their lives in Malibu, knew each
other since grade school, loved
sports and were well-known to a
wide circle of friends and other
Malibu families.
The two had attended local
elementary schools, Love at
Juan Cabrillo and Naylor, whose
family lives on the beach in eastern Malibu, at Webster. Both
went on to high school and traveled in the same circle of friends.
Naylor, who graduated from
the University of California at
Santa Barbara this past summer,
worked at Pritchett Rapf Realty.
He was Matt Rapf’s assistant.
“He was a business major in
school, and my brother Jim said,
‘Why don’t you come work for
us?’’’ said Rapf, who added that
he thought Naylor was supposed
to take a real estate test for a
license this week.
“He was the sweetest sort of
kid. He lit up the office with his
presence. He will really be
missed,” Rapf added.
Love, whose family resides in
the Encinal Canyon area, halted
his studies for a year to spend
time in Florence, Italy, where he
developed a passion for fashion,
said his mother Teri Love.
Love was attending Brooks
College in Long Beach, majoring in fashion merchandising. He
worked as an intern at Gucci studio department, dressing celebrities and other VIPs for events.
Love’s mother recalled how
she recently looked at her son’s
website and was taken aback
when he wrote about who his
hero was—he mentioned his
mother. “He never told that to
me,” she said, holding back
tears.
Both young men were heavily
involved in organized sports.
Love played baseball, soccer,
was on the golf team and was
considered a gifted athlete. Nay-
lor also played sports and was
said to be an avid surfer.
TYLER LOVE
A visibly shaken Councilmember Jeff Jennings at this
week’s city council meeting said
both boys, whom he had apparently coached, went through all
of the Malibu sports programs
including Little League. “I don’t
know what else to say, please
remember how dangerous PCH
can be,” he added. The city council meeting was adjourned in
memory of Love and Naylor.
Any official action on the accident is pending the conclusion of
the LAPD investigation.

Mid-Malibu Power
Outage Wreaks
Havoc on PCH
■ 5,000 Customers Were Affected
A
power outage in central
and eastern Malibu on
Saturday afternoon left up
to 5,000 customers without
power, according to a Southern
California Edison official. The
blackout snarled traffic for hours
on Pacific Coast Highway when
many of the traffic signals on the
busy highway were dark.
The power was knocked out at
3:07 p.m. after a road crew on
Malibu Canyon Road hit a guide
wire on a transmission pole for
one of the main transmission
lines, according to SCE spokesperson Mark Olson.
It took work crews about oneand-half hours to begin switching
around power from different
sources, said Olson, who indicated that customers were brought
back on line as various circuits
were connected to the main grid.
By about 7:30 p.m., power was
restored to all of the impacted
customers. The power pole was
replaced by early Sunday morning.
Since it was a main transmission line, many of the traffic
lights along the intersections on
PCH were out which caused
problems for motorists along the
coast route. Traffic was backed up
for miles.
Last week, Point Dume had its
own smaller outage when a vehicle traveling on PCH on Tuesday
afternoon hit a power pole snapping it in two. The vehicle continued down an embankment, but
the driver in the solo incident apparently only sustained minor injuries.
The power to some Point Dume
customers was lost for less than
several minutes and work crews
quickly restored power to the im(Continued on page 14)

OBSTACLES
Editor:
Caltrans has finally gotten around to begin repair of the
damage done to Las Flores Canyon and Hume roads by
last year’s rains. I'm sure everyone who uses these roads is
more than pleased since some of the single lane sections of
the road are dangerous. They require stops on both sides of
the closures. Most people don’t want to stop on steep
grades, so if they don’t see oncoming traffic, they don’t
bother to stop.
Caltrans has always done an excellent job maintaining
these roads during storms, etc. But the hours that the roads
are being closed for this current project are draconian. The
road is closed from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. seven days a
week. To get down to PCH now requires a 10-mile drive
over a winding mountain road. It takes around 25 minutes
to make the trip each way.
We who live in the hills expect inconvenience from time
to time. When I learned of the schedule, I had assumed that
the roads would at least be open on Thanksgiving and
Christmas days, but have now learned that will not be the
case. This is ridiculous. Those two holidays are highlights
of the year for most people. To expect family members and
friends to be able to find their way through the mountain is
not realistic. Some of these people are very elderly. Also,
everyone has last-minute things they need from the supermarket. These roads needs to be open on these days.
I called Caltrans on Friday to express my concerns but,
because of the holiday, was only able to leave a message
on a machine. I have not as of this writing heard back. I
also called Zev Yaroslavsky’s office but couldn’t even get to
a machine. Several other people in the area have told me
they called to voice their concerns. One neighbor spoke
with Susan Nissman in Yaroslavsky’s office, and another
spoke with Dean Lehman of District Three County Road
Department. Neither of these people was sympathetic to the
hardships being placed on residents affected. Both officials
said something to the effect that “you people don’t understand how hard we're working for you.” Of course we
understand “how hard they are working,” but that doesn't
mean we have to needlessly suffer.
Initially the work on the roads was scheduled to begin in
August. For whatever reason, it was pushed back three
times and finally began in the first week of November. The
Caltrans person told my neighbor that the 24/7 work
schedule was necessary to stabilize the road before the
rains. Why Caltrans would wait for the rainy season (they
already had to stop for a day) and the holiday season to
begin work only they can explain. My neighbor was also
told that only work on Hume Road is scheduled for now.
The work on the retaining walls that are going to have to
be built on Las Flores Canyon won’t begin until late next
year. It would have made sense for that work to have been
done concurrently with the work on Hume. Normally, I
would not quote hearsay, but I feel the residents in the affected area need to know as much information as possible
so pressure can be applied before the holidays.
Several simple alterations can be done to ameliorate the
situation:
1. The road can be open on the two major holidays.
2. The road can be open for a one-hour period during
midday or even a half-hour, especially on weekends.
3. Gorge Road (a county road) can be open one way on
a staggered schedule for each direction. (Statements were
made that Gorge Road is not a county road, but why then
did the county pay for the bridge to be rebuilt after the fires

Publisher’s NOTEBOOK
Back to Square One
M
ost of us would rather concentrate on our
plans for the Thanksgiving holiday than
listen to the news that the National
Weather Service has issued a red flag
warning for the Malibu area. Local weather concerns have moved to the forefront as deliberations
assess proceeding to a full red flag alert if wind and
humidity conditions warrant it. Strong Santa Anas
are expected to continue through the week, with
humidities in the mid to high teens. The county fire
department has increased Malibu personnel and
equipment capabilities with additional patrols and
water tenders. If conditions worsen, and should the
warning remain in effect longer (or change to a red
flag alert), this staffing is likely to be extended or
further augmented. Despite the recent rains, including last week’s gullywasher, there has not been
enough thorough ground saturation to have a lasting effect on foliage in potential wildfire areas and
prevent a blaze from igniting. Even a few hours of
sustained Santa Ana winds and low humidity are
all it would take to put Malibu in the same condition it was in during July and August—vulnerable
to an unstoppable conflagration.
hould fire break out, the leased SuperScoopers are now in Southern California, supplementing the ranks of fixed wing and helicopter craft currently on hand. Los Angeles
County is being encouraged to try to have these
water droppers available year-round now that the
old concept that the so-called fire season starts in
October has been voided by the occurrence of
major brushfires any time of the year. The Topanga fire preceded the officially proclaimed fire season by several weeks and needed all the artillery
that was available at the time. As technology improves, there is also greater potential for nighttime
S
use of aircraft, further assuring a maximum assault,
particularly in the areas where access by traditional
firefighting equipment is difficult. Night-flying
apparatus is being utilized as soon as the equipment
proves itself and agencies can afford to purchase it.
Necessary funding must be made available for this.
Despite the terrible toll on wildlife in a fast-moving
blaze, allowing unpopulated wildland area fires to
feed on themselves is a part of firefighting reality.
Instances of uncontrollable conflagration are an
integral part of the ecosystem we inhabit. Of course,
we all hope that we get through each autumn without a wildfire, but the odds are what they are.

Hey, kids, regarding the park fundraising, I’ve got a
great idea for Mr. Perenchio: It’s like a totally legit
in ’93?)
4. The highway patrol officer can escort cars through
money laundering. Here’s how it goes: Jerry gives, say,
$5 million to the fund and gets a huge tax deduction.
What a guy, right?
Then, the city turns right around and gives him all
that money back plus a whole lot more to acquire the
land for our kids. Such a deal!! Beyond that, please,

The Aquarium AGE
A
The Week of November 17–23, 2005
dazzling array of astral contrasts turns daily life dizzying
with contradiction. On one
hand, a sense of expansive opportunity offers promise, but on the other, the
harsh voice of reality delights in delineating the obstacles. On a third hand,
radical new approaches guarantee
solutions to old problems, but authoritarian despots squelch enthusiasm. It’s
a mixed-up muddle of yes/no, on/off, and up/down/up again
cadence that’s certain to be disconcerting. Don’t be surprised if you’re grumpy, a tad sad, or you just feel like staying in bed until the static clears. There’s no right way to handle the confusion, so do whatever it is you do to stay steady
and stable inside and out. Unfortunately, maintaining an
equilibrium, internal or external, won’t be easy. Uranus just
went direct yesterday—and when the planet of startling plot
twists makes a course correction, even what’s boring feels
exciting. What’s more, as Uranus turned around, it strengthened its ongoing trine with Jupiter, a configuration notorious
for bestowing last-minute saving graces. We love this a lot,
even if some of those miraculous interventions don’t appear
at first glance to be sublime. We just wish the Saturn/Mars
square, a fractious interaction notorious for blame and punishment, wasn’t interfering with the Uranus/Jupiter optimistic bliss. Try not to let the sparks from this Saturn/Mars
square ignite a pessimistic attitude that only fears the worst.
Instead, use its critical eye to focus on what needs attention
and care. But that’s not all. On November 14, Mercury
began its last retrograde phase of the year. As many of you
know, forward progress under Mercury Retrograde is
fraught with delays and detours, especially when it comes to
communication and travel. And as many of you already
know from experience, Mercury Retrograde is not the best
time to initiate new projects. Any Mercury Retrograde is
best spent culling through the details of previous choices,
and given this retrograde is at the end of a very long year,
packed with lots to think about, it would be wise to use the
retrograde to reflect on decisions, big and small, made over
the course of the last 11 months. The ongoing Mars Retrograde magnifies the focus on the past, but Mars, as many of
us are learning, isn’t at its best moving in reverse and that
discontent translates into frustration about getting anything
done quickly—frustration made nearly impossible to tolerate by Mercury Retrograde. This is not the sort of river you
want to push, so rather than insist on “now,” have alternative plans ready. It’s a discombobulating week that requires
more than a fair share of humor to adjust to the differing
The PUZZLE
“Pass the Drumsticks!”
qualities of energy and attitude. As always, kindness is the
best way to deflect frustration. Compassion has a way of
calming the waters and soothing the air.
If you know your ascendant and/or your moon sign, read that too.
Aries (March 21-April l9): Take no unnecessary action and
you’ll maintain your balance in the midst of uncertainty. You
don’t have to look good. You just have to make creative choices
aimed at transformational progress.
Taurus (April 20-May 20): Physical activity provides the perfect
remedy to stress, so don’t put off going for that walk or going to
the gym because you have too much to do. Do what’s best for
you first, and you’ll do your best for others later.
Gemini (May 21-June 21): You’re in an unexplainable sentimental mood, filled with poignant feelings about the past, especially
past relationships. Rather than resist, allow these emotions to
assist you in gaining greater clarity about the present.
Cancer (June 22-July 22): We don’t always have the privilege of
choosing our state of mind, but this week you do. You can brood
over what’s wrong or, you can be thankful. Sounds like a nobrainer because it is.
Leo (July 23-August 22): It’s often said that success is an odd
mixture of lots of hard work, a little talent and an undisclosed
amount of luck. Despite the retrograde, you have opportunities to
achieve your goals, so roll up your sleeves and get busy.
Virgo (August 23-September 22): Even if you are justified in
blaming someone else for your current circumstances, healing is
about letting go of bitter or envious thoughts. Release the need
for revenge, and that area of your life will move in a positive
direction.
Libra (September 23-October 22): It’s a little like thunder bolts
and lightning, but it doesn’t have to be frightening at all. Quite the
contrary, certain changes, even difficult unforeseen shifts, can
have a positive effect.
Scorpio (October 23-November 21): Powerful forces are transforming stagnant waters, whether you agree to the changes or not.
Rather than resist, hook yourself up to the changes, and let what
hasn’t been able to move finally flow freely.
Sagittarius (November 22-December 21): Whatever it is you
want to accomplish, focus on putting together a competent support team who can complement your talent and contribution.
Even if you’re planning a garage sale, make sure your helpers are
committed to making it fun.
Capricorn (December 22-January 19): Make “moderation” your
mantra and do your best to avoid excess of any kind. While you
think your innate caution won’t find it hard to be moderate, you
may find yourself facing surprising temptation.
Aquarius (January 20-February 18): You are transforming a
sense of futility into a deep appreciation for acceptance. As you
go through this process, don’t confuse acceptance of what can’t
be changed with passivity.
Pisces (February 19-March 20): The best antidote for anxiety is
dealing directly with whatever you’re afraid of. So rather than
deny or avoid, face the situation and allow that experience to
move you forward to the next step.

Focus on Malibu Issues Slated for
T
he California Coastal
Commission
was
scheduled to consider several permits granted to
applicants by the City of
Malibu that were being
appealed by several coastal
commissioners. The panel
met this week in Los Angeles after The News went to
press.
Commission Chair Meg
Caldwell and Vice Chair
Patrick Kruer are appealing
a decision by the city granting a permit to Michael and
Lisa Karmen for a twostory, 3,035-square-foot,
single-family home on Sea
Level Drive.
In addition, coastal panelists, an organization called
the Protection of Coastal
Habitat and Patt Healy of
the Malibu Coalition for
Slow Growth are appealing
the city permit to Lechuza
Villas West for a 5,388square-foot, single-family
home on Encinal Bluffs.
The controversial proposal
had been appealed to the
planning commission and
the city council, which both
approved the permit. The
coastal staff and the city disagree on whether the project sits on a coastal bluff
and should be subject to
more stringent conditions.
Commissioners are also
challenging a permit granted by Malibu municipal
officials to William and
Jacqueline Gould for a twostory, 3,089-square-foot,
single-family home on a
beachfront lot.
The coastal panel is also
poised to act on several
enforcement issues, including cease and desist and
restoration orders.
The commission will
conduct a public hearing on
a proposed cease and desist
order directing Mr. and Mrs.
Revell, as owners of property at 32340 Pacific Coast
Highway, to “cease from
[allegedly] engaging in further unpermitted development activities [and] address
unpermitted development
consisting of locked gate,
fence, wooden stairs,
removal of native bluff-top
vegetation and landscaping
[and] comply with conditions of existing permit and
offer to dedicate, which provide for public access.”
Additionally, the coastal
panel will consider a cease
and desist order directed to
Sanford Horowitz for
allegedly dumping concrete, rebar, bricks, asphalt,
plastics and metal material
in a canyon containing a
blueline stream at 5656
Latigo Canyon Road. The
order also seeks to stop
allegedly unpermitted construction of two storage
structures, vegetation
removal, grading and
paving of a building pad
and two roads.
The commission is also
slated to consider two
restoration orders on both
of the properties impacted
by the alleged unpermitted
activity.

City Appeal
An appeal of the proposed Point Dume office
building planned for
Portshead Road is scheduled for an appeal before
the Malibu City Council
on Nov. 28.
The coastal permit for
the semicircular, 14,950square-foot, one-story,
office building designed by
Ed Niles, which was previously approved by the
planning commission, is
being appealed by Point
Dume residents David
Schack and Jordan Tarlow.
The two nearby homeowners told city officials in
their appeal that they have
dozens of concerns about
traffic on the road that opens onto Pacific Coast
Highway at an unsignaled
intersection. They also assert that the two-year-old
traffic study referred to by
commissioners is outdated
and contend there was no
basis for granting the waivers sought for the project.
The appellants indicate
they also take issue with
the staff ’s findings that
there is no Environmentally Sensitive Habitat Area
on the site.
Trancas Highlands Water on Hold
A proposal to bring
potable water to the Trancas Highlands area has
been put on hold, according to Malibu municipal
officials. The city is helping the property owners
form an assessment district
to bring underground utilities, including water.
City officials have indicated the project is on hold
until the location of a site
and access road suitable for
PAGE 15
a 500,000-gallon tank has
been determined.
Right-of-way issues for
the tank site, access road
and water lines must be
resolved before the city
council can consider a resolution of intent for forming a district.
The assessment district
would encompass water
delivery service and provision of gas, telephone and
electrical services.

Sheriff’s REPORT
PURLOINED
PINOT
A west Malibu resident
reported the theft of three
bottles of wine from his
residence on November
10, between 8:30 a.m.
and 4:45 p.m. Upon returning home, he noticed
the wine missing from
his refrigerator and saw
muddy footprints in the
master bathroom. He told
the deputy that he and the
other person who occupies the residence always
take their shoes off
before entering. The
deputy examined the
exterior of the residence
and noticed muddy soil
surrounding it, but saw
no signs of forced entry.
He also said that nothing
else in the house—
including a laptop computer in full view—had
been taken. The deputy
talked to two neighbors
who stated that they
hadn’t seen anything
unusual. No print deputy
was called, because all
the surfaces had been
contaminated.
LIFTED
LADDERS
Two 10-foot orange
ladders valued at $300
were stolen from Zuma
Beach between November 6 at 2:30 p.m. and 6
a.m. on November 7. The
informant, an employee
of Los Angeles County
Beaches and Harbors,
stated that the ladders
were taken from the east
side of the Zuma Beach
yard. The deputy investigating the theft observed
that a section of the chainlink fence surrounding the
yard had been cut, providing access to the ladders.
He was unable to locate
any witnesses.
COPPED
CAMERA
A digital camera valued
at $350 and a memory
card valued at $60 were
stolen from a chair in the
recreation room on the
Pepperdine University
campus on November 6.
The victim left the items
unattended from 11-11:30
a.m. and found them
missing upon his return.
•
He checked with the campus security, but they had
not been turned in.
TAKEN TOOLS
Malibu Lost Hills Sheriff’s deputies res-ponded to
a report of theft that
occurred bet-ween 3 p.m.
on October 29 and 2:53
p.m. on November 5 in
east Malibu. A toolbox
valued at $50 was stolen as
well as various gardening
tools and supplies, including clippers, pruners, saws,
nylon lines and weed spray
valued at more than $200
from an outdoor area.
Upon his arrival on the
scene, the deputy was
shown a pine tree surrounded by brush where
the equipment was kept.
He checked the area and
found paper napkins on the
road near the tree. He also
checked with neighbors
who stated that they had
hired a brush clearing crew
on the property during the
week but had not seen or
heard anything regarding
the stolen items.

Water District Plans Unveiled
for Managing Future Needs
Waterworks District 29, which provides potable water to Malibu and Topanga, has
scheduled a hearing in downtown Los Angeles on its proposed water management plan,
including a water shortage contingency plan and future water needs.
The water district, which is owned and operated by Los Angeles County, will hold the
hearing on November 22 at 9:30 a.m. in room 381 in the Kenneth Hahn Hall of Administration at 500 West Temple Street.
The plan is mandated by the Urban Water Management Planning Act and, in addition to
providing information about contingency plans, the report must also include an explanation
of existing water conservation practices and identification of sufficient water supplies to
meet projected water demands.
Copies of the plan are available at the Malibu Library and at the Waterworks field office,
also located in the Civic Center complex.
The Board of Supervisors, which is the governing body of the water district, may
approve the plan as recommended by the county’s director of public works at the hearing.
Yamaguchi Acreage in Civic Center
on the Market for $20 Million
A 16-acre Civic Center property that Malibu city officials have coveted for years has
come on the market for $20 million.
The vacant land located on the northwest corner of Webb Way and Stuart Ranch Road is
owned by the Yamaguchi Tokiye Trust.
The property is listed by South Bay Realtor Chris Fitzpatrick, who said the 82-year-old
patriarch of the family wants to dispense of the land.
As late as two months ago city officials were described as still being in negotiations to
purchase the land, but the emphasis on the acquisition of the Chili Cook-Off site has apparently caused the Yamaguchi property to end up on the back burner.
At one time, the owner had applied to the city to build a luxury golf driving range that
included several lakes, waterfalls, intricate landscaping and night lighting. The proposal
was turned down by municipal officials.
Subsequently, the Yamaguchis announced an ambitious partnership to build residential
homes on the acreage, which would have required extensive zoning changes.

Malibu West presented a check for
$6,000 to Habitat for
Humanity to help build a
house for a family whose
home was completely
destroyed during Hurricane Katrina.
The project, known as
“Katrina House,” has
included more than 50
volunteers who have been
working over the past several weekends to build the
house and then disassemble it to be sent into a
cargo container for Biloxi,

Mississippi.
Over the last week,
debris from the destroyed
home was being cleared
to prepare for the arrival
of the new home. Volunteers working on the project will be heading down
to Mississippi to put the
house together so that it
will be finished and ready
in time for the Christmas
holiday.

Sheriff’s Station
tion of why a station in Malibu, his
answer would be to give his department
“more of a perceptual and visual presence” in the community. “It would put a
face on a large entity,” he added.
Martin pointed out that a practical reason for a Malibu station is because of the
amount of time deputies spend traveling
canyon roads from the station in Calabasas to Malibu. “It is forty minutes per
day per deputy. Malibu could also be isolated from law enforcement during a
major disaster,” the captain said.
Martin cited a brief history of the sheriff’s department’s presence in Malibu
since 1933, when a substation was
manned by a sergeant and three deputies.
Beginning in 1934, the red brick building that still stands today on Pacific Coast
Highway near Las Flores Canyon Road
was the home to the department for the
next 36 years. “There were two cars per
shift,” he said.
In the same year, the department
acquired a Buick touring car, but with no
radio communication. Consequently,
deputies would have to cruise back past
the station. A light on the station informed
the officers if they had a call.
In 1970, the station was moved to the
Civic Center, where a state-of-the-art
facility consisted of office space, a jail,
gas pumps and towers. “They were
designed to last a millennium. That didn’t
happen,” he said.
In 1991, the Lost Hills station was
opened where the population had grown
tenfold or more. Six years ago, Sheriff
Lee Baca had first broached the idea of
returning a physical presence to Malibu.
Last year, Baca reiterated his desire for a
station in Malibu.
Martin’s appearance was prompted in
part by a request from Bob Grundstrom
from US Bank, who talked about how his
branch had been robbed by the so-called
“Big Nose Bandit.” He said he wished
there was a faster response time by
E
deputies.
“I saw [him] recently. I got a guard, but
he took off,” said Grundstrom, who added,
“The response time is not what we like.
We are trying to get a response time that is
shorter.”

Grants Not Available
increase the rents over the years.
Lichtig said the city’s financial
consultants were then able to recommend
that the city could issue the additional
COPs based on the new calibrations of
lease payments. Originally, the city was
going to borrow about $8.5 million in
COPs based on estimated rent payments of
$900,000 per year.
“We are better off buying this project with
our own money,” said Councilmember Jeff
Jennings. “In the long run we will be a lot
happier and better off using the COP
money.”
“It’s a good deal for the city,” agreed
Councilmember Ken Kearsley, who said the
city would not stop in its efforts to acquire the
property.
There are still some uncertain aspects of
how much money the city will end up with.
Lichtig indicated that city officials are still
depending on over $1 million from Los
Angeles County and $2.5 million from the
Santa Monica College bond money, plus $3
million of private funds.
Lichtig hinted that if any more of the funds,
either from the county or private donations,
were not available by the time escrow closes,
the council might have to dig into its own
coffers to come up with the shortfall.
Council members deferred telling the city
manager how much money they might
commit to the acquisition if a serious shortfall
occurred.
Council members did reiterate their
commitment to try to hold on to the
government grants to finance the stormwater
and other clean water projects envisioned for
the site.
