INTONETTE—A volleyball player creates a mini-sandstorm as he puts some whole-body gusto into an impromptu game at
Surfrider Beach. Volleyball matches are likely to spring up along the length of the shoreline over the Labor Day holiday weekend as thousands flock to local beaches to celebrate the “unofficial” end of summer. Vacations are over, school is starting and
life assumes a decidedly organized air. The taking down of the nets is a seasonal marker in its own right.

OLMCommunity Keeps Watch after Last Week’s Tragic Accident
Monsignor Remains in Induced Coma; Memorial Mass Said for Sister Mary Campbell
A
ccording to preliminary
California Highway Patrol and Los Angeles
Sheriff’s Department information, at about 1:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Aug. 25, Ambassador to
Malta Douglas Kmiec, Our Lady
of Malibu Pastor Emeritus Monsignor John Sheridan, and Sister
Mary Campbell, who taught generations of OLM students, were
involved in a solo vehicle accident on Mulholland Highway,
east of Stokes Canyon.
Sr. Mary Campbell, 74, a Sister of St. Louis, a former principal and teacher at OLM Catholic School, and, in recent years,
the assistant to Monsignor Sheridan, was killed in the accident.
Authorities said she was declared
dead at the scene.
Sheridan, who is 94, and
Kmiec, who is 58, both were suffering from what were first described as serious injuries. They
were airlifted to the UCLA Medical Center’s Trauma Center.
Kmiec was at the wheel of the
2009 Hyundai Accent, a subcompact vehicle, when it reportedly
drifted off the road onto the
shoulder and went into a drainage ditch. Campbell was in the
back seat of the car, and Sheridan
sat in the front passenger seat.
No information is available yet
about whether seat belts were
worn by any of the three people.
The CHP states that the accident is still under investigation.
Sheridan underwent surgery
last week and reportedly remains
in serious condition. The first
statement issued to the OLM
family stated that doctors “have
stopped most of the internal

Malibu died at the crash site.

bleeding; they are treating several broken ribs; and they are
watching him carefully for signs
of infection and/or pneumonia.”
The latest word this week was
that his condition is now being
described as stable. Sheridan reportedly remains “in an induced
coma and on a ventilator.” He is
not able to receive visitors. Contact is said to be limited to close
relatives and Father Bill Kerze,
the current pastor of OLM.
Updates are regularly circulated among parish members who
have established an accident information network. They indicate
that Sheridan still has bleeding
issues, but there is a decided note
of optimism to the updates.
Kmiec is expected to be released from the hospital shortly.
He is expected to make a full recovery from injuries, which have
been downgraded to moderate.
Both Sheridan and Campbell
were born in Ireland. The monsignor is from Corrickmaquirk,
County Longford. Campbell
hailed from Kiltimagh, County
Mayo, which is where she will
be buried alongside other members of her family.
Both of the two are from large
families where relatives served
the church in various capacities.
Campbell had just returned from
visiting her mother in Ireland.
Campbell had been a member
of the order of the Sisters of St.
Louis for 52 years. She, Sheridan
and Kmiec were returning from
an event at Louisville High
School for the 60th anniversary
of the founding of the Woodland
Hills Motherhouse.
There was a mass at 10 a.m.,
followed by a special luncheon
celebrating the Feast of St. Louis,
the patron of the order. Louis was
the 13th century French King
Louis IX, but the order, founded
in post-revolutionary France, is
mostly Irish—the original eight
nuns of SSL came to this country
from Ireland in 1949—and retains an Irish brogue.
Sheridan came to OLM 45
years ago. He has been a radio
commentator, authored 14 books,
written numerous pamphlets and
articles, and continues to minister to parishioners.
Kmiec, who was appointed to
the Malta post by the Obama Administration, was sworn in September 2009, and took leave

Subdivision Near Kanan Dume Road Will Hearing Is Set for Murder
Require a City General Plan Amendment Defendant in PCH Crash
Applicant Seeks to Put Four Homes on Single-Family Lot Charge Is Use of Vehicle as Weapon
T
he city’s Environmental
Review Board met last
week to take a close look
at a request to subdivide a nearly
six-acre lot near Kanan Dume
Road into a four-lot subdivision.
The 5.71-acre parcel is located
on Galahad Road. The existing
1950s house would be torn down
and the septic tank would be
abandoned to carve the property
up into four one-plus acre lots. A
remainder lot of about a half-acre
would be deed restricted as open
space, according to a planning
department staff report.
Building pad sites were identified on each of the four proposed
lots, and the staff planner indicated grading would be minimal
because much of the lot is flat.
However, planners suggest the
real issue, the reason the ERB
panel is looking at the request, is
the cumulative impacts of allowing four homes on the existing
single family lot, which is zoned
RR-1.
“Therefore, future construction
of four single-family residences
and associated development will
be evaluated for potential cumulative environmental impacts in
the initial study prepared for this
request,” the staff report noted.
The ERB’s recommendations
and the application, which will
require a City of Malibu General
Plan amendment, will be heard
by the city’s planning commission.
The subdivision request is
being watched closely to determine if subdividing single-family
lots in the west end of Malibu
will become a trend.
Western Malibu is where there
are still a substantial number of
larger lots that are zoned for single-family development. The potential for increased traffic and
infrastructure demands, such as
water, could become an issue.

A defendant charged with the
murder of a Malibu teen was in
court last week, according to
authorities.
Sina Khankhanian, 26, who is
charged with one count of murder in the death of Emily Shane,
was ordered to appear in court on
Oct. 21 for a preliminary hearing.
Khankhanian, who is being
held on $3 million bail, was arraigned on the murder charge
several months ago.
The felony charge includes a
special allegation of using his
vehicle as a deadly weapon to
commit murder, the District
Attorney’s office said.
The felony complaint states
Khankhanian “unlawfully and
with malice aforethought murder[ed] Emily S.”
If convicted, the defendant
faces a maximum prison term of
life with the possibility of parole.
Deputies reported the San Fernando Valley man drove his vehicle off the roadway on Pacific
Coast Highway east of Heathercliff Road, fatally hitting Shane
before he crashed into a power
pole and overturned the vehicle.
Shane’s death has spawned a
public safety movement campaign for Pacific Coast Highway.

Former Tree Farm for Sale CCC Requests Lighting Plan Extension
■ ‘Boutique’ Campground Plan Is Abandoned
A large swath of vacant canyon
land, which was once at the center
of controversy when a developer
wanted to build a boutique hotel
camping facility, is listed for sale.
The 93 acres owned by Richard
Weintraub were once at the center
of fierce opposition, when Weintraub announced plans to build an
upscale camping facility.
The property, which is listed for
over $8.7 million, no longer has
the permitting for the boutique
campground facilities, according
to Weintraub, who said the acreage, which was a former tree
farm and nursery, comprises 33
residential lots.
Weintraub said he is selling
because the high-end retreat he
planned for Malibu he built in
Palm Springs.
“There is another retreat already
opening up in Malibu,” he added.
Visitors call the canyon location
magic when walking along the
creek bottom and discover the redwood grove, alders and 100-foot
tall sycamores.
Weintraub said he is not the one
to develop the property, but
thought the vacant land would
make a great ranch for someone or
the property could be developed
with a few homes.
Weintraub, one of the partners
who developed the city-owned
Malibu Lumber Yard, has been in
the news lately because of the
partners’ willingness to sell the
ground lease they have to another
partner or to include additional
investment partners..

2010 Tax Rolls Show Malibu
Residential Values Increase
■ Other Areas in County Show Sharp Decline
W
hile Los Angeles
County’s tax assessment rolls continue to
decline in residential values,
Malibu has managed to hold its
own, with an increase of 1.2 percent from last year, according to
County Assessor Robert Quon.
The assessor reported that Malibu
had a whopping assessed valuation
in 2010 of $10,917,152,901. The
amount of change from 2009 is
$127,125,901.
The county overall experienced
a 1.67 percent decrease from last
year “primarily caused by the
ongoing decline in residential real
estate values and a first-ever
decrease in the inflation factor,”
according to the assessor, who
indicated for most communities
that decrease represents a loss of
revenue for public services and
schools.
There were 400,000 home and
condo values that received lower
assessments on properties purchased between July1, 2003 and
June 30, 2010.
To put Malibu's fortune into
perspective, cities such as Beverly
Hills, Agoura Hills. Calabasas,
Manhattan Beach, Santa Monica,
West Hollywood and Westlake
Village all suffered declines from
last year.
Malibu ranked 13 in the 20
highest valued cities in the county, according to the assessor.

■ High School Football Games Will Be Played During Daylight
A
t its September meeting
in Eureka, the California
Coastal Commission is
expected to approve a time extension of up to one year on a Local
Coastal Plan Amendment submitted by the City of Malibu that
would permit lighting of the main
athletic field at Malibu High
School.
According to the report, on July
22, the executive director “determined that the City’s amendment
submittal was in proper order and
legally adequate to comply with
the submittal requirements of
Coastal Act. However, commission staff is now requesting an
extension “in order to allow adequate time to review and analyze
the amendment.”
In March, the Malibu City
Council unanimously approved
amendments to the city’s municipal code and Local Coastal
Program to open the door to permitting athletic field lighting at
Malibu High School’s main field,
following the Coastal Commission’s unanimous rejection of a
lighting plan proposed by the
Santa Monica Malibu Unified
School District last fall.
The council expanded on the
number of nights recommended by
the city’s Planning Commission to
accommodate nighttime practices
at MHS Monday through Thursday to 7:30 p.m. during Pacific
Standard Time, which generally
begins on the first Sunday of
November and ends on the second
Sunday of March. The council also
approved a maximum of 18 Friday
night games ending at 10:30 p.m.
The council also agreed to
eliminate the word “temporary.”
Several council members suggested that permanent lighting
could potentially have less of an
environmental impact than temporary, removable lighting.
Observers have said that, because the plan submitted by the city
greatly exceeds the number of
nights rejected by the earlier
SMMUSD attempt, it is unlikely to
receive CCC approval as written.
Athletic field lighting at the
“Home games
will be on
”
oooSaturdays
school is currently prohibited in
the City of Malibu’s LCP and the
municipal code.
The Malibu High School property is also subject to a deed
restriction prohibiting lighting at
the campus that was a requirement imposed by Coastal as part
of a 1999 Coastal Development
Permit issued to the school.
Prior to 2009, unpermitted temporary lighting had been in use at
the school for a limited number of
football and homecoming activities for six years. A district plan,
unveiled in 2008 as part of the
Malibu campus’ Measure BBfunded improvements, that included installation of permanent
lights for a maximum of 200-plus
nights a year, generated public
outcry from west Malibu residents, and touched off a series of
chain reactions that observers say
has polarized the community.
In an apparent effort to circumvent the City of Malibu’s authority and take its request for a night
lighting permit directly to the
Coastal Commission, the Santa
Monica Malibu Unified School
District Board of Education
passed a resolution in 2009
exempting the district from the
City of Malibu's municipal code.
However, the district's attempt to
obtain permission for 14 nights of
lighting at the Malibu campus
was unanimously denied by the
coastal agency, on the basis that it
violated the LCP.
The district then turned to the
City of Malibu, to attempt to
revise the LCP. The amendment
submitted by the Malibu City
Council was developed by city
staff with input from a series of
public meetings by the Zoning
Ordinance Revision and Code
Enforcement Subcommittee and
the city’s Planning Commission.
As part of the LCP amendment, a Conditional Use Permit
would be required before the
school district could proceed with
a lighting schedule. Any changes
to the initial agreement would
require a new CUP application.
The school district has exempted
itself from Malibu municipal
code but must comply with the
LCP, the council said, allowing
the city to maintain local control
over lighting use.
This year, the football team
will be playing home games during the day on Saturdays.
“Due to the well-publicized
plight of field lighting at Malibu
High (a.k.a. Friday Night Lights),
home games will be on Saturdays, with the JV starting at 10
a.m. followed by the Varsity kickoff at 1 p.m.,” writes Malibu City
Councilmember and football advocate Laura Rosenthal.
The first game of the fall season is Sept. 4, at MHS.

Old Malibu Colony Post Office Annex Building Is Scheduled to Close
■ Bulk Mail Service Will Be Accommodated at the Point Dume Station but Extra Mail Truck Parking Remains an Issue
Before the Malibu Colony
Plaza was built, the current Post
Office Annex building at the
Malibu Colony was central
Malibu’s only post office.
The building was constructed
during the building boom in the
late 1950s, when the Colony
Coffee Shop was right around the
corner, and the only market in
town was the Mayfair.
The old brass post office boxes
are long gone, as is the long main
counter, with its smell of wet
paper tape and old linoleum.
Now the lease is up, and the
annex facility, which currently
houses Malibu’s bulk mail operation and passport application services, will be closing its doors
and moving to Point Dume.
Malibu Postmaster Caren Gonzalez told The Malibu Surfside
News that the main Colony Post
Office will remain unchanged,
and the move, which is expected
to take place at the end of the
year, will not affect delivery services.
“There will be no disruption of
services,” Gonzalez said.
There will, however, be some
changes at the Point Dume Post
Office, which is currently being
remodeled to accommodate the
addition.
According to Gonzalez, 40
Point Dume post office boxes
will be renumbered. Notices will
be sent to the current box holders
to explain the change.
Passport service, previously
available at the annex, will continue to be available at either the
main Colony office or at Point
Dume. The location has yet to be
decided.
Gonzalez indicated that the

PROTECTION
Editor:
I was startled to read such misinformation about Marine
Protected Areas in a letter to the editor printed last week.
As a Malibu resident, and a mom, I hope that my community will look at the facts (MPAs do “not” limit non-consumptive activities like surfing or diving) and think about the bigger picture. MPAs preserve marine life and provide fish for
future generations, and if we really treasure our beautiful
coastline and ocean, then we should support them.
The proposed MPAs in Malibu are a careful compromise
between fishing interests and environmental representatives.
The compromise off Point Dume protects just “half” of the
kelp forest and rocky reef as a reserve, leaving the other half
open to fishing. Locals will still be able to go fishing at
Point Dume’s Big Kelp Reef, as well as almost the entire
Malibu coastline, including Escondido and Paradise Cove.
We know that MPAs give fish room to grow larger and
reproduce more. By developing MPAs now, we will have
more fish in the future. Point Dume is an especially rare
place where a variety of habitats can be protected in one
small area. This will benefit all of us, including fishermen
fishing outside the MPAs, in the long term.
I also want to clarify that access is not an issue under the
Marine Life Protection Act. MPAs do “not”open new access points or restrict other beach and ocean uses. In fact,
locals that enjoy SCUBA diving, snorkeling, surfing, and
recreational kayaking will enjoy seeing more abundant and
larger marine life within Point Dume’s proposed MPA.
I’m a Point Dume local. I love the ocean, my children
love the ocean, and I want to preserve this incredible spot
for all of us. If that means small areas are protected from
fishing, then I think it is a small sacrifice that is well worth
making!
Nichole McGinley
GIVING BACK
Editor
As a local surfer and fisherman, I am out on the water
almost every day. Santa Monica Bay is a special place and
needs all the protection it can get. Marine Protected Areas
will help future generations enjoy the ocean like I do.
MPAs aren’t going to cut off access to surf or dive spots.
They’re just going to let the fish off areas like Point Dume
replenish themselves. We can’t just keep taking from the
waters. We have to start giving back.

Editor:
I emailed 2549 people about the city’s upcoming Santa
Monica Conservancy Draft EIR meeting in Malibu, as well
as the meeting to decide the final vote in Pacific Palisades.
Of the 13,000 Malibu residents, including the 2549 people
emailed, about 60 residents showed up (less in Malibu). Do
the math. Joe Edmiston and his Coastal Commission pals
won because of one word.
Apathy. Folks didn’t show.
So they don’t get to complain.
The vote had only one no vote—Mayor Wagner. Approved
were 54 total sites—Bluffs Park (35), Corral Canyon (17)
and Ramirez Canyon (2). Most interesting was the missing
contingent from Malibu Road. I guess Malibuites don’t care
that people will be using the restroom right next to their
homes. Or maybe they don’t care about massive construction above a very narrow street.
It’s the same public apathy that got the city into the real
estate business, resulting in the pathetic faux Malibu Lumber
Yard now for sale, the Performing Arts Center, which should
have been left as is, and could have been a money maker,
and, of course, Legacy Park.
We’re not Newport Beach, nor are we Laguna Beach, so

Publisher’s NOTEBOOK
Road Safety—It’s Not Just PCH
Malibu’s traffic safety focus in recent months has
been on the dangers of Pacific Coast Highway.
However, last Wednesday’s tragic accident on Mulholland Highway was a jolting reminder that the
roads that empty onto PCH along the full length of
the community have their own perils.
Mulholland Highway is regarded as one of the
great scenic driving roadways of the world. It may
be outranked by Germany’s Autobahn, Switzerland’s Grimsel Pass, the Los Caracoles Pass in the
Andes, Hana Highway in Maui, and the penultimate
course, the Jebel Hafeet Mountain Road in the United Arab Emirates, but they are not located in the
Southland’s backyard.
As many a fallen motorcyclist and injured auto
passenger has learned too late, Mulholland is a road
that demands respect. Painstakingly carved by cadres of manual laborers, the road followed the path of
least resistance, and this resulted in twists and turns
that can catch the unsuspecting off guard.
Malibuites’ ongoing concern for traffic safety is
not misplaced. Anyone can find themselves in a
catch-22 situation when traveling at the speed limit
or crawling in bumper-to-bumper traffic. Each situation offers its own particular hazards. There is no
place for cell phone use, texting, or any other distraction. And in how many cases, have tasks as
mundane as changing the radio station, or adjusting
the air conditioning, led to a vehicular disaster?
It has always taken major community effort to get
the kind of law enforcement necessary to monitor
the local canyon roads, which have even claimed the
life of a CHP officer in his own sports car. There is
something uniquely human in the desire, or perhaps
it’s the need, to test limits, among them the limits on
speed. The driver of the yellow Lamborghini that
came within inches of a silver mini-van on Mulholland was doing that last Saturday, as were the nine
motorcyclists who encircled the red pickup truck
on the route to Leo Carrillo State Beach and then
deafeningly revved their engines as they passed the
vehicle illegally on a curve.
Traffic safety is an “every-road concept,” and
Malibu residents are making a fatal mistake if they
think PCH is the only nemesis. Any road is a perilous one, if those behind the wheel don’t give it
their full attention, and they don’t assume that those
driving around them are doing the same.

GOING TO BAT
It takes an extraordinary amount of time and resources to rehabilitate, house, provide medical care and food
for our rehab animals. Our ability to provide care to wildlife is made possible by the generous donations of volunteers, veterinarians, and people in the community. Without the time and donations of these caring people, we
would not be able to continue our work rescuing and rehabilitating wildlife.
We thank you for your generosity. Please take a moment to look over our Wish List.
VALLEY WILDLIFE CARE WISH LIST
VALLEY WILDLIFE CARE RECEIVED A SPECIAL LITTLE PATIENT TODAY
This juvenile pipistrelle bat was found sitting on the sidewalk and was
almost stepped on. The caring person carefully picked him up with her
check book and placed him in her bag. She took him home and called
VWC. He is dehydrated and has a wing injury. He will receive x-rays
tomorrow to determine his course of rehab.
Bats are highly beneficial, consuming hundreds of disease carrying
mosquitos. They are a main buffer between disease and humans!
Pipistrelles are the most common bats of the desert southwest and the
smallest bats in the United States! He weighed in at a mere 3 grams. He
just had his first meal and is eating very well. Since he is a baby, he is
not feeding himself and we must hand feed him every 2-3 hrs.
• Evangers canned food. Sold at feed stores
• Hunk of beef or whole chicken
(thighs preferred)
• Natural Balance dry ultra premium cat food
• Bird seed, dove, finch, or any
• Walnuts or almonds in the shell
• Avocados
• Gerber or Beechnut baby chicken
• Gerber carrots or applesauce
• Organic non toxic cleaning supplies
• White hand towels
• Paper towels
• Blue shop towels
• Wee Wee pads
• Exact hand feeding bird formula
• Gift cards to Trader Joe's
• Gift cards to Petco or Petsmart
• Gift cards to Home Depot
• Postage stamps
• Vinyl folding pet carriers
• Wood stove pellets, sold at home improvement stores and pet feed stores (we use
these in place of cedar shavings, they are
safer for the animals)
And of course cash donations are most needed and tax deductible!
We are always looking for people who can make bird perches and other items.
If you are handy, e-mail us!

HYPOCRISY
Editor:
Apparently the world was saved from another messianic
pontification by U2’s Bono recently in Russia. Bono
inadvertently spared Medvedev a lecture on Wednesday
regarding Russia’s proposed highway through Moscow’s
renowned nature preserve, the Khimki forest. (LA Times
8/27/10)
Perhaps Bono should focus his attentions on the Edge’s
and co-developer Derek Quinlan’s environmentally
destructive plans here in Malibu on Sweetwater Mesa; for
five 10,000+ sq. ft. ridgeline houses in the Santa Monica
Mountains.
Apparently these U2 tax refugee rockers think it’s OK to
destroy pristine natural habitat on a massive scale if THEY
are the beneficiaries. U2’s music rings hollow for me now.
Personally, I don’t want to hear these hypocritical rockers
peep one more word about saving the environment.
Practice what you preach!

SOLUTIONS
Editor:
Having worked with our LASD to salvage PCH wreck
victim’s lives and limbs for many years, the following
education and conclusions might help our understanding
the enigma of our towns’ highway and intersecting canyon
roads. With that background positive solutions might be
brought into focus.
A global way to view car wreck, and injury, and fatality
etiology is to include driver error, fatigue, medical issues as
subcategories of driver distraction just like impairments
(drugs, alcohol, etc.); obstructions in the road, weather,
highway, winding canyon roads, freeway, impaired
vehicles, and inadequate traffic oversight and control
(human and mechanical) may be other categories.
Delineating categories might help community
understanding so we don’t misdirect our attention and
anger [to law enforcement] when things go wrong.
Thinking through the foregoing may help us to
understand what truly happened, the finite role our
watchful Sheriffs Traffic Control Unit or any other
enforcement can do to prevent vehicle disasters in Malibu.
Cars have become an essential part of life but it costs what
it costs and more enforcement is not the cure. All who drive
need to be mindful of driver responsibility.

GREENING
Editor:
Help! Help! Eastern Malibu needs help. Every Friday,
Saturday and Sunday the westbound traffic backs up 2-3
miles westbound at Cross Creek Road. It takes people 30 to
45 minutes to get to Cross Creek depending on where they
MALIBU SURFSIDE NEWS
PAGE 9
start. I believe this is because of a very short green light
westbound. I timed it last Sunday and the green westbound
lasted 60 seconds, not nearly long enough to accommodate
the flow of traffic. Meanwhile six cars and a few pedestrians
crossed PCH while thousands of motorists waited. Once
Cross Creek is passed the traffic flow speeds up. There may
be other lights contributing to this paralysis, but without
studying this to death, City and Caltrans, how about
performing a quick fix and increasing the green light time at
Cross Creek, the Pier and McDonalds to at least two
minutes?
Rich Davis
TOLLING
Editor:
If you read the statistics on the last weekend of July in
Malibu, we need help. When you see the discarded beer
cases (not six packs) lying by the side of the road it is no
surprise of the number of accidents on PCH.
Why not make PCH a toll road in the summer months?
June through September from Topanga Canyon to County
Line. Malibu residents get a free pass sticker. The revenue
could pay for the toll booths, added highway patrol, clean
up the trash and help maintain the beaches. A toll road
would cut down on drivers under the influence, accidents,
the z traffic (they can use 101) and less traffic jams.
A toll road would help bring PCH back from the sirens,
accidents, and the never ending noise and pollution. A safer
highway. This is not an elitist issue, it is a safety issue.

Editor:
When I heard the dreadful news about Sister Mary our
family was in San Francisco dropping off her two former
students to college. I honestly could hardly put one foot in
front of the other. How could there be a world without that
beautiful light in it anymore? That smile that greeted each one
of us was the most honest and divine light I have ever known.
Every child who got to have Sister Mary in the 4th grade
was in for a year of something that we as parents couldn’t
even put our finger on. We all knew our kids were going to
get a lifelong lesson in kindness, honesty, pureness and
genuine love for all creatures big and small, which seemed
somehow elusive in this world filled with the cacophony of
undesirable media messages, scandalous clerical
accusations and very real economic pessimism. Through it
all, each day she greeted each of us with her beautiful smile
and to quote Mother Teresa “Everytime you smile at
someone, it is an action of love, a gift to that person, a
beautiful thing.” I, for one, knew the world was a better
place every time I saw Sister Mary’s smile.
One of the many things Sister Mary taught my kids is
really tugging at my heart right now. Every time a siren
would go by OLM, which was often because of that
dangerous canyon that took her life, she would always tell
the kids to stop what they were doing and say a prayer to
God for the safety of the person to whom the sirens were
heading for. I choose to think that over all the years that she
taught every child to do that, there had to be lots of people
who heard those sirens, stopped what they were doing, and
prayed for whomever was injured. How devastating that it
was her but I am certain that Sister Mary was embraced by
all those prayers as she began her journey into the arms of
her beloved God.
Go mbeannai Dia duit (May God Bless You), Irish Rose.

Notice is hereby given that the real properties listed below were declared to be in
tax default at 12:01 a.m. on July 1, 2008,
by operation of law. The declaration of
default was due to non-payment of the
total amount due for the taxes, assessments and other charges levied in 200708 tax year that were a lien on the listed
real property. Property upon which a nuisance abatement lien has been recorded
shall be subject to sale if the taxes remain
unpaid after three years. The name of the

due on June 30, 2008 for the 2007-08 tax
year, is shown opposite the parcel number. Tax defaulted real property may be
redeemed by payment of all unpaid taxes
and assessments, together with the additional penalties and fees, as prescribed
by law, or it may be paid under an install-
ment plan of redemption. If the 2007-08
taxes remain unpaid on non-residential
property after June 30, 2011, the property will be subject to sale at public auction in 2011. All other residential property that remains unpaid after June 30,
2013, will be subject to sale at public

All information concerning redemption of

Regal-Looking Duck Sports a Fashionable Feather Crown
JUST DUCKY—Malibu’s back-canyon ponds, creeks
and small lakes are a welcome refuge for resident and
migratory birds, and even escaped domestic waterfowl. A black crested duck (above, top, and at right)
displays his iridescent feathers and bouffant mohawk
for a less flashy member of the duck family, while a
pond turtle goes about its business. A resident coot
(right) is more interested in tending to its chick than

Sheriff ’s and Public Safety REPORT
BAGGED BURGLAR
On Aug. 30, detectives from the Lost Hills Sheriff's
Station executed a search warrant in Tarzana. According
to a press release, approximately 400 items of suspected
stolen property were recovered. The items reportedly
included 163 cell phones, two laptop computers, wallets,
several gift cards and rare coins. Also found at the
location were “narcotics and narcotics paraphernalia,”
according to the report. Detectives detained Neil Jarrod
Hefner, a resident of the city of Tarzana. According to the
report, there is evidence that Hefner committed a number
of vehicle burglaries over the course of several months in
the Los Angeles and Ventura County areas. The arrest is
the third this summer potentially connected to local
incidents of vehicle burglary. The suspect was arrested
and his bail was set at $50,000. He is reportedly currently
on parole for narcotics.
Several of the recovered
cell phones have reportedly
already been traced to
burglary victims from the
cities of Westlake Village
and Thousand Oaks. The
suspect may have also been
involved in Malibu-area
burglary incidents. Detectives are continuing to
investigate the burglary
series and are asking the
public to assist in identifying the recovered prop- SUSPECT—Neil Jarrod

MALIBUITE TO THE RESCUE
According to reports circulating on the Internet, Malibu
resident and actor Gary Busey came to the rescue of an
auto accident victim on Aug. 24. Busey reportedly gave
the 911 dispatcher the location and details of the
incident, assisted one of the crash victims, and helped
direct traffic until emergency personnel arrived. The
victim reportedly sustained minor injuries. The victim's
family publicly thanked the longtime Malibu resident for
his assistance.
DISAPPEARING DOLLY
A $1000 camera dolly track, approximately 10 feet long
and three feet wide, was reported stolen from a
commercial film shoot on Point Dume on the afternoon
of Aug. 19. The production manager informed sheriff's
deputies “that transportation drivers loaded the camera
track into a van and returned it to the equipment rental
company.” An unidentified representative for the
equipment company verified that one of the tracks was
missing and called to see if it was accidentally left
behind.
PURLOINED PISTOL
A .38 caliber handgun was reportedly stolen from a
dresser drawer in the master bedroom of a residence in
the Los Flores area on Aug. 21. The victim stated that the
weapon, which was “wrapped in a magazine,” was
missing from the bottom of the drawer. No other items
appeared to have been taken.
CONSTRUCTION CAPER
Construction site burglars allegedly removed an
assortment of tools valued at $3025 from behind a
cinderblock wall at a construction site on PCH in west
Malibu between Aug. 13-16. The victim stated that he
placed the items behind “a small cinderblock wall with a
tarp over them.” Sheriff's deputies observed that there
were no security devices on the property other than the
front gate.
CLOSE CALL
A Malibu Road resident reported a burglary attempt on
Aug. 9. The victim told Lost Hills sheriff's deputies that
he left the residence for approximately an hour during the
afternoon to run errands. When he returned, he
discovered a sliding glass door open, the handle
apparently broken off. A quick search of the home
revealed that several dresser drawers in the bedroom were
open and their contents disturbed. The victim reported
that nothing appeared to be missing. There were no
witnesses and no suspects.
CONTINUING CAR CRIMES
Despite the arrest this week of one possible car burglary
suspect, vehicles parked on PCH at west Malibu beaches
appear to be the current top pick for smash and grab
crimes. Two purses-valued at $60 and $20, $600 in cash,
two California driver licenses, a $200 wallet,
miscellaneous credit cards, and two smart phones, were
removed from three vehicles parked at [35000 PCH] on
the morning of Aug. 13. The victims returned to find the
front passenger-side window smashed on all three cars,
parked one behind the other, and the items missing. A
fingerprint technician was requested. A $20 wallet,
assorted credit cards, a California driver license, two pairs
of binoculars and $160 cash were removed from a vehicle
parked on PCH near El Pescador State Beach on Aug. 12.
When the victim returned from the beach he found the
rear passenger-side window smashed and the items
missing. On the same day, an assortment of wallets, cell
phones, credit cards were removed from a vehicle
parked in the same area using the same MO. The
victims stated that they “all rode together to hang out at the

Just BETWEENUs
Grandma’s Chocolate Cake
M
y Grandma is
dead many many
years, and I loved her dearly. She always
showed me sweet affection
and the love a Grandma
gives to the first born
grandchild of her first born
daughter...my Mom. Her
friends, and there appeared
to be a wide circle, felt she
was their leader, and in fact
elected her President of
“The Eastern Star,” a
women’s organization—
giving her a silver gavel, to
indicate
officialdom,
although I cannot imagine
her ever using it, since I do
not remember her ever leaving the house.
In fact, in memory my
Grandmother was illequipped to run a meeting
of any sort, except perhaps
a card game,which she did
each week at her dining
room table with its multiple
extensions to accommodate
a dozen or more ladies.
No, to my mind there
was no indication that she
had magnetism to any
degree that would cause
women to follow her authority on any subject you
might think of. She was a
sweet, fat, unsophisticated
homebody who was my
Grandma.
She’d never been anywhere, never seen anything,
never traveled, never ate out
(Grandpa liked to eat at
home).
Although no dope, I do
not remember her as sharp,
not particularly knowledgeable, certainly not extensively educated, she wasn’t
wise, had no special
insights, and yet she was
the center of a crowd of
women.
I remember as a little boy
playing under Grandma’s
dining table, among the legs
of her “girls,” while they
played cards. I believe
Grandma served apples. I
don’t think she served coffee. My grandma’s coffee
was depressingly awful. Its
difficult to think of anyone
facing the prospect of
drinking it. It was dark and
thick and looked like mud.
Stirring it was a test of
strength, and taking the first
sip of it was a test of will.
How much of your tongue
were you willing to sacrifice for friendship’s sake?
The Malibu Surfside
News is, of course, a local
paper with a circulation of
loyal readers—none of
whom is my Grandma, for I
don’t believe her ghost is
glaring at this copy as I
write, and so I can safely
say that Grandma was an
unbelievably bad cook.
Everything she ever made
was overcooked. Liquids
were searing, and anything
that might have been edible
was burned black.
My Dad would not permit us to eat at my Grandma’s house as a family. My
mother, at least in this one
thing, acceded to his need
not to be embarrassed by
refusing to eat whatever it
was. Without Mom and
Dad I had the misfortune,
while in my Grandma’s
charge, to eat...something.
I was a skinny kid, and
rarely ate much, Grandma
had the idea that she must
get me to eat, and so she
resorted to bribery.
I did not like food burned
black, even though Grandma insisted that well-done
food was better for me, and
so, playing upon her knowledge that I liked chocolate,
she would promise me a
chocolate cake. And, dope
that I was, I would go for it.
I would struggle with my
“lunch” and be rewarded
with (her specialty) a
“Moon” cake. She called it
a chocolate cake, but whatever it was, it was a lump
of coal. Indigestible.
I would say, and this
went on for years, “Grandma, this ‘moon’ cake.”
But she would insist it
was a chocolate cake,
although I was plainly
undeceived.
Grandma and Grandpa
lived on the third floor of
our apartment house, and
we lived on the fifth. We
could see their kitchen from
our kitchen, down an air
shaft between two wings of
the building. Of course I
could smell everything that
Grandma was cooking or
baking, because it smelled
like a fire down there. And
so the day came when I
refused to go down for
lunch.
“I’m baking you a chocolate cake,” she called up.
“You’re baking a ‘Moon’
cake,” I insisted.
“Lanny,” she said, “you
always said you wanted a
chocolate cake. Today you
get it.”
Twelve o’clock she
called, “Lunch time.”
“Did you bake a chocolate cake, Grandma?”
“A chocolate cake,” she
State Legislature Approves Proposed Flood Control Bill Car Crimes
■ District Would Receive Greater Taxing Authority in Unincorporated Areas
A
bill recently approved by the state
legislature could
have substantial consequences on the wallets of
taxpayers in the unincorporated areas of Los Angeles
County.
Assembly Bill 2554,
sponsored by Assemblymember Julia Brownley
(Dem.), whose district
includes Malibu, would
allow the Los Angeles
Flood Control District to
levy property-related fees
to its current authorization
to levying of taxes or
assessments.
AB 2554 would authorize the county’s flood control district to impose a fee
in the unincorporated area
of the county to pay the
cost and expenses of carrying out projects and providing services authorized
under existing law, according to the text of the bill.
It requires any fee that is
imposed to be levied and
collected together with and
not separately from taxes
for county purposes.
The existing law establishes the district to provide
for the control and conservation of flood, storm and
other waste waters and
authorizes the district to
levy taxes or assessments
on all taxable property
within the district, after a
vote of property owners.
Brownley and her supporters contend the bill is
another tool for county
flood control district officials in their efforts to comply with the Clean Water
Act and the increasing regulations to comply with the
many Total Maximum
Daily Load requirements.
The district’s authorizing
statute allows the district to
impose only taxes or
assessments not fees.
This bill expands the
district's authority to collect those fees and to add
those property-related fees
to its current authorization
for levying taxes or assessments.
The bill would also
allow the district to put a
fee on a local ballot, asking the voters to raise revenue to fund clean water
projects.
Sponsors of the measure
say the county currently
faces critical and very costly storm water and urban
runoff pollution challenges mandated by the
Clean Water Act.
“This bill is essential to
the operation of the Los
Angeles County Flood
Control District as it tries
to eliminate significant pollution imperiling the health
of eight million residents,”
Brownley said.
If voters choose to
approve new user fees, the
revenue would be allocated
for water quality programs
in the following ways. Ten
percent would go for the
administation of the programs, forty percent would
go to cities and unincorporated areas within the district and 50 percent would
be allocated to the nine
watershed regions in the
district.

said.
And so I tore down the
stairs and when I got to her
door I knew that something
was wrong, terribly wrong.
I finished with whatever
she gave me to eat, and she
brought me my chocolate
cake. There it was.
“Eat it sweetheart. Here’s
a glass of milk.”
I gave it my best shot,
knowing immediately what
she had done wrong. She
had taken a box of unsweetened cocoa and somehow
baked it with no sugar—
and served it burned to a
crisp.
I could not get it down,
even pouring the milk down
my gullet to try to drown it.
I smiled at her but she
could see I didn’t like it.
“See,” she said, “I knew
it. You don’t really like
chocolate cake.”
You cannot fool your
grandma.

was reportedly stolen from a vehicle parked in the underground garage of a west Malibu condominium complex on
Aug. 19. Security personnel at the complex reportedly
investigated the surrounding area for the wheelchair, but
were unable to discover any witnesses or evidence.
BEACH REPORT
Unseasonably cool weather and cold water continues to
keep beach numbers lower than usual. A southern swell
from New Zealand brought surfers flocking to the beach
midweek, but Los Angeles County Lifeguards reported
just 206,425 beachgoers during the last weekend in
August. There were 4133 preventions, 53 rescues, 1473
ordinance enforcements, 38 emergency vehicle responses, 55 minor medical responses, 19 major medical incidents, 11 agency assists, three missing children and a
SCUBA diver in distress over the period of Aug. 27-30.
On Aug. 27, lifeguards called for sheriff’s department
backup after responding to a report of an unruly group at
Westward Beach. The suspects, described as drunk and
disorderly, attempted unsuccessfully to flee the scene. On
Aug. 28 lifeguards responded to a medical emergency at
Zuma’s Tower 9. The victim, who appeared to have suffered a seizure, was transported to an area hospital. On
Aug. 30, 11 triathlon swimmers apparently unable to
cope with sizable surf and a powerful rip current, were
rescued at Zuma. After briefly reaching the low 60s,
water temperature has dropped again into the 50s.

The Aquarium AGE
The Week of September 2–8, 2010
W
e are betwixt and between,
this week, caught in a notquite-here-not- quite-there
planetary pattern that unravels regular
routines. Five planets are retrograde
(and if you count Chiron, it’s six),
which means no matter how determined you may be to make forward
progress the actual pace of daily life is
glacial. Expect frustration, yours or
others’ to erupt over all sorts of situations, large or small. Also
anticipate previously solid ground to be less reliable, a condition
that could turn attitudes about the future even more uncertain and
confused. But that’s not all. We are also at the end of a long, hot
summer that was made all the worse by a simultaneous season of
unrelenting astral intensity. And while most of us tend to be wistful about the end of summer, this year, you may find yourself
wishing it were over – the summer of our discontent behind us,
and the glorious days of fall offering the promise of relief. But
we’re not there yet. Currently, we are still in the throes of Mercury Retrograde, which continues until September 12, but ends
so late in the day, it might be best to consider September 13 the
final day. (And if you include the three-day rule as Mercury
“turns around” and gathers momentum, it would be best to wait
until September 16.) Because Mercury drives the mechanics of
daily life – communication and travel – its retrograde phase is
never a good time to initiate new plans or projects, and always a
good time to review what’s already in motion. Jupiter retrogrades
back into Pisces on September 9, where it will stay until January
22. As Jupiter moves back into Pisces, it conjuncts Uranus, also
retrograde in Pisces. (Their conjunction is exact on September
18.) Jupiter/Uranus contacts are believed to be beneficial, even if
the immediate benefit isn’t completely obvious. For instance, this
conjunction could precipitate the move out of a relationship you
don’t think you’re ready to leave, only to discover that its dissolution has set you free. Or, it could unexpectedly remove obstacles you once thought insurmountable, and replace them with a
clear path toward your goal. Another possible expression of a
Jupiter/Uranus conjunction, in Pisces, is a deep experience of
divine guidance and an unmistakable sense of serendipity. Of
course, not every manifestation will be momentous; for some,
this conjunction could simply be a long relaxed exhale that puts
you back in your body, feet firmly planted on the ground. But for
even more, those feet could land in deep emotional waters, revisiting recent decisions and reexamining the consequences of those
choices. Don’t be dismayed if you have a hard time staying in
present time this week and next. The “gravitational” pull of so
many planets moving behind instead of ahead is likely to pull
hearts and minds back to the not-so-distant past. Rather than
resist this tendency, use it to your advantage, by having the
courage to look at what the summer intensity brought to the sur-
The PUZZLE
face. Retrogrades are about opportunities to reconsider previous
choices, as well as to refine prior decisions. Go over the facts, but
also reflect on your emotional reactions to certain situations.
There’s no need to take any unnecessary action. This is simply
an opportunity to think about all that’s been set in motion.
If you know your Ascendant and/or your Moon Sign, read that too.
Aries (March 21-April l9): The focus is on relationships issues,
particularly how you structure partnerships of every kind, including your relationship with yourself. Examine your intentions, and
you’ll gather valuable self-awareness.
Taurus (April 20-May 20): Try not to let work-related situations
spiral into a major case of existential angst. Yes…you have been
through this before, and yes, again, you need to continue to work
on creating a strong internal center.
Gemini (May 21-June 21): You are in a powerful creative flow,
but before you say, “not so” consider this: creativity is not limited to an art or a craft. It is an attitude, and it has the power to
transform the mundane into the extraordinary.
Cancer (June 22-July 22): Embrace the longing for quiet and solitude, and instead of spending your time and efforts being social,
give yourself permission to withdraw. You won’t miss anything
by taking care of yourself.
Leo (July 23-August 22): Certain conversations may be hard to
have, but that’s no reason to dive into denial and pretend those
exchanges are important and necessary. Rely on your innate
courage and your generosity, and speak your truth.
Virgo (August 23-September 22): Rather than resist reviewing the
details of certain transactions, welcome the chance to revisit a
persistent situation. Set the record straight, accept responsibility
if it’s yours, and move on.
Libra (September 23-October 22): While your specific situation
isn’t necessarily improving, the overall environment is, which
translates into many opportunities for increased clarity and
insight. Seize this moment, and you’ll make progress.
Scorpio (October 23-November 21): You’re walking a fine line
between realizing what needs improvement and brooding over
what cannot be corrected. Ease the tension by exploring the
notion of the reconciliation of opposites.
Sagittarius (November 22-December 21): Interactions – negative
or positive — with members of your community trigger dynamic
emotional responses. Be prepared to be surprised, and you’ll handle the drama.
Capricorn (December 22-January 19): An old idea is inhibiting
your ability to find the solution. If you’re willing to stand the situation on its head, you might discover a new perspective that
solves the puzzle.
Aquarius (January 20-February 18): Don’t be surprised if you hit
a growth spurt – even in the middle of a retrograde – that moves
you into a new phase of accelerated personal transformation.
Pisces (February 19-March 20): The goal is being disciplined
enough to stay present. Because if you can stay focused, your
hard work will eventually deliver exponential benefits – and that
means m-o-n-e-y.

Malibu’s Wildlife Can Use Help to Weather Driest Season
A
s the driest part of
the year arrives,
and natural water
sources become scarce,
Malibu's wildlife can use a
helping hand from humans,
according to Brenda Varvarigos, the director of Valley Wildlife Care, a nonprofit, volunteer wildlife
rescue and rehabilitation
organization that serves the
San Fernando Valley and
Malibu.
During last week's heat
wave, Varvarigos reported
what she describes as a
“hurricane” of animals
arriving from dehydration
and heat exhaustion.
“There are not enough natural water sources and the
one's that are available are
evaporating quick,” Varvarigos said.
“We have taken in nine
birds today alone suffering
from heat exhaustion,” Varvarigos explained. “A great
horned owl was the first
OASIS—A hanging birdbath offers birds like the

sharing their garden with other types of wildlife, like
raccoons and possums, should consider putting out
extra dishes of ground-level water.
call of the morning. When
our volunteer arrived on
the scene the GHO was
lying down under a hedge
of thick shrubs with his
face in a small mud pit of
warm water. Aside from
having parasites, he is critically dehydrated and is suffering from severe heat
exhaustion. He is also very
thin.
“After five hours of IV
fluids, he is alert and his
eyes are bright. He will
need several days of fluid
therapy before we can
begin treating his parasite
infestation.”
Temperatures have dropped again, but with September and Santa Ana season around the corner, hot
weather is expected to
return.
Varvarigos suggests that
area residents who would
like to help their wild
neighbors should make
fresh water available by
placing elevated birdbaths
on their property. Water at
ground level can also help
a variety of wildlife species. She recommends a
simple large bowl placed
on the front and back lawn.
“Remember to change it
a few times a day as it will
become warm very quickly,” she warns. Birdbaths
and water basins should
also be cleaned frequently.
Reptile experts at the
Los Angeles County Museum of Natural History recommend that water bowls
located on the ground have
a “lizard ladder” in the
form of a branch or pile of
small stones, to prevent
reptiles from falling in and
drowning. Shallow bowls
reportedly present less of a
drowning hazard for small
animals, and are more
inviting to birds.
The Audubon Society
recommends placing birdbaths safely out of reach of
predators. Locating basins
under the branches of a tree
may offer birds a greater
feeling of security, since
shelter is close at hand and
the water source is screened from aerial predators. A
shady location will also
prevent the water from
becoming too hot to drink.
Ground-level water dishes should be located away
from the house to discourage visitors from coming
too close and to prevent
encounters between wild-

Vinnieis our Velcro dog. You can
drape Vinnie across your shoulder
and he’ll stick to you. No hands necessary. This little 5.5 pound charmer
is as sweet as they come. A little older
at 6 years and a little wiser than many
of his kennel mates, he knows that
the best thing in life is to be held close
by his human. If you are seeking a
compact friend with a big heart,
Vinnie would be proud to affix himself
to you forever. Love Vinne, adoption
#A1144300.
AlthoughLucky missed out on the
Emmy's, he is a winner in every
category. The ultimate terripoo, irresistibly fluffy, indescribably
adorable, turns heads when he
struts into any room. Lucky’s so
charming that he’ll keep you smiling no matter what. At three years
of age and 28 pounds, he’s playful
enough to keep you entertained.
Imagine cuddling up with this bundle of fuzz for next year’s Emmys.

years old. Loves everyone, good with other dogs and children. Very smart, trained, healthy and happy.
A fitness fanatic—he would be an excellent work-out

a sturdy, safe fence around a large yard would be ideal.
He is a good listener, very loyal, and sometimes just
likes to “chill” and listen to music or play chess.
