The request also seeks changes to the landscape plan, the native trees plan and the master signage program. The matter was originally scheduled for an Oct. 1 hearing, but was postponed after the applicant indicated that he wanted to meet with neighbors who were beginning to raise concerns about changes that the developer was proposing for the project. The staff recommendation for a scheduled meeting last month was to continue the public hearing to a date uncertain by pulling it off the calendar. The original request for the shopping center, which is currently under construction, included changes to the previously approved lighting plan to allow the addition of 43 pole mounted lights that vary in height from 12 to 20 feet located throughout the parking lot and pedestrian areas, as well as other site lighting and building mounted lighting, according to a public notice issued by the city’s planning de part ment. However, the current agenda “[Amendmentttt is sought for] proposed [unspecified] ” ccchanges. notice does not stipulate how many poles are sought, but indicates an amendment “for proposed changes to the conditions of approval including changes to the previously approved lighting plan which includes the addition of pole mounted lights that vary in height from 12 to 16 feet located throughout the parking lot and pedestrian areas, as well as other site lighting and building mounted lighting.” In addition, the developers are seeking changes to the landscape plan, changes to the native tree plan, changes to screening requirements for onsite wastewater treatment pods and approval of a master sign program. The shopp ing center is still currently being remodeled and this is the second set of changes or amendments to the coastal permit that has been requested. Night lighting has become an issue, especially in Malibu Park, because of lights approved for the high school sports field and a new proposed parking lot. The planning commission turned down night lighting for the planned 150-car high school parking lot. Even more controversial is the field lighting recently installed at the football field at the high school at nearby Malibu Park. The MHS field lighting was not heard by the planning commission, but was approved by the city council, instead. Critics of the night lighting plans point out that the requested lighting, when considered cumulatively, would result in significant negative impacts to the night (Continued on page 13) Take Down Septic Ban I Recent Pleading Amendment Allowed A longtime local resident and private attorney, who filed a lawsuit against the local and state water boards and the California Environmental Protection Agency concerning the Malibu Civic Center septic ban, was able to file an amended pleading at the trial court level for her third cause of action for inverse condemnation. She had previously filed a notice of appeal, but the CEPA and the state have successfully filed demurrers at the appellate level. Attorney Joan Lavine, who owns a home on Malibu Road, got tangled up in the trial court over a set of procedural issues and is now appealing the lower court’s ruling. She seeks to have the ban overturned and set aside and is also making a claim that the septic ban has resulted in an inverse condemnation “due to the unconstitutional regulatory taking…of all viable economic value and use of her substantial property interests in her Malibu road property and seeks the award of reasonable monetary damages.” Lavine said she was “OK” with her current progress in the complicated litigation because she was allowed to amend the pleading for the inverse condemnation. A prohibition on all Civic Center area septic systems, including residential areas was approved and adopted by the RWQCB on November 2009 and approved and ratified by the State Water Resources and Con trol Board on Sept. 21, 2010. Lavine asserts in her complaint that by doing so, the agencies “illegally engaged in a regulatory taking and confiscation of her substantial real property and related interests.” The lawsuit calls the prohibition “an invalid underground regulation and is arbitrary, capricious, unreasonable overbroad, confiscatory, is an exercise of authority in excess of and without jurisdiction, is a usurpation of power, authority and jurisdiction where respondents have none, is without any factual support, and is invalid as a matter of law and therefore is null and void.” BY BILL KOENEKER DECEMBER 27 • 2012 MALIBU SURFSIDE NEWS PAGE 3 Holiday Week’s Weather Patterns Don’t Dampen Local Spirits n Full Rain Gauges and Nighttime Cold Add Wintery Touches to Malibu’s Sense of the Season M alibuites didn’t require the assistance of official meteorological advisories to know that the last two weeks of December was being marked by days and nights of bone-chilling cold and umbrella-soaking rain. The weather spurts of pleasant, even if only lukewarm, respite in between the storms appeared timed to acknowledge the holidays, but local residents quickly determined that it will be wise to keep rain gear at the ready through at least the first week of the new year. As for the days immediately ahead, Los Angeles County has issued a rain advisory for all public beaches through Saturday, Dec. 29. Because of the current rainfall, the Los Angeles County Health Officer is cautioning residents who are planning to visit county beaches to be careful of swimming, surfing, and playing in ocean waters around discharging storm drains, creeks, and rivers. The advisory notes that bacteria, debris, trash, and other public health hazards from city and mountain areas are likely to enter ocean waters through these outlets. “Fortunately, discharging storm drains, creeks, and rivers only comprise a small portion of the beach, and therefore, anybody who wants to go to the beach will be able to enjoy their outing,” according to Jonathan Fielding, the LAC public health director and health officer. “We do advise swimmers and surfers to stay away from the storm drains, creeks and rivers as there is the possibility that bacteria or chemicals from debris and trash may contaminate the water near and around these areas, and some individuals may become ill,” Fielding added. Areas of the beach apart from discharging storm drains, creeks, and rivers are exempted from the county advisory, which will be in effect until 7 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 29, but may be extended depending on further rainfall. Recorded information updates on county beach conditions are available 24-hours a day on the LAC beach closure hotline: 1800-525-5662. Information is also available online at LAC public health website located at: www.publichealth. lacounty.gov/beach. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has issued wind advisories for areas within Los Angeles County, but as yet they do not include the Santa Monica (Malibu) Range and the Ventura County Mountains. Preliminary tallies of rainfall indicates that the greater Malibu area may have exceeded most area totals. Persons with calibrated rain gauges determined to be accurate are invited to email their precipitation totals, dates and times to the Malibu Surfside News at [email protected] Sea Otters May Be the Next Major Enviro Success Story Off Malibu’s Coast n Most of 27,000 Instances of Input Favored Termination of the Federal Translocation Program C alifornia sea otters, once regularly spotted in Malibu’s kelp forests, may have the opportunity to return to their former southern range thanks to a U.S. Department of Fish and Wildlife Service decision to terminate the 25-year old southern sea otter translocation program. The decision means that sea otters will be able to continue to expand their range naturally into southern California waters in accordance with the recommendations of the 2003 revised southern sea otter recovery plan. The rule takes effect on Jan. 18, 2013, and removes the regulations that govern the translocation program, according to a DFW press release. “Sea otters at San Nicolas Island, offspring of the original sea otters translocated to the island under the program, will be allowed to remain there. Once the rulemaking becomes effective, the special exemptions to the Endangered Species Act (ESA) and Marine Mammal Protection Act associated with the translocation program’s management and translocation zones will cease to exist, and all sea otters found in the waters south of Point Conception will be considered a threatened species under the ESA—the same status as the remainder of the population that resides along the California coast.” “The decision culminates an approximately decade-long process during which the Service evaluated the translocation program and alternatives to it. During that period, the Service solicited and received extensive public comment. The vast majority of the approximately 27,000 comment letters, emails, and postcards received expressed support for termination of the translocation program,” the press release states. “Originally designed to provide a safeguard against population loss from an environmental catastrophe such as an oil spill, the translocation program was established by regulation in 1987 under the authority of Public Law 99-625, passed by Congress in 1986,” the DFW press release states. “The program’s aim was to provide for sea otter recovery while avoiding potential conflicts between sea otters and other interests, such as commercial fishing. Although the law did not require the Service to implement a translocation program, it mandated that if a translocation program were put in place, it would have a “translocation zone” (where sea otters would be brought) and a “management zone,” which would be kept otter-free by non- HOMECOMING—Sea otters are free to return to their former Southern California range follwing the termination of a 25-year U.S. Department of Fish and Wildlife relocation program.

That information was revealed recently when Pepperdine offici- als honored the couple at a luncheon at the school. It was announced the Forges are funding a theater scholarship and the school’s fall musical, according to the school’s senior director of public affairs, Jerry Derloshon. The landmark restaurant was subsequently sold by the school, which is using some of the pro- ceeds to establish the scholarship. A Pepperdine publication reports that the Forges donated a portion of BeauRivage establishing what is called “a $2.9 million charitable remainder annuity trust with the university.” Half of the gift to Pepperdine will be used to endow Pepperdine’s annual fall musical performance, permanently named as the Luciana and Daniel Forge Fall Musical. The other half will establish the Luicana and Daniel Forge Endowed Scholarship for students pursuing a bachelor’s degree in musical and dramatic arts at Seaver College. In the publication and at the luncheon, the history of the Forges was recalled. Daniel was working at Perino’s in the 1950s when he met his bride-to-be, Luciana, in 1956 and the two were married in 1958. Luciana had been studying music, dance and voice in Europe and the two met when she was finishing up a tour. In the 1960s, the couple opened L’Auberge on Sunset Blvd. and (Continued on page 13) PAGE 4 MALIBU SURFSIDE NEWS DECEMBER 27 • 2012 Town FORUM P-E-R-S-P-E-C-T-I-V-E-S A Developing Prayer Editor: “Within the Soul,” is my internal developing prayer throughout the 1970s and into the 1980s.

DECEMBER 27 • 2012 MALIBU SURFSIDE NEWS PAGE 9 Barn Owl Gets Second Chance Thanks to Local Rescue Center W e were driving on Las Posas Road in Camarillo on our way home to Malibu when we saw the barn owl. It was flying at eye level parallel to the road, its pale wings bright against the rain clouds at dusk. We went from feeling blessed for the opportunity to see this secretive nocturnal raptor to horror as the bird was caught in the slipstream of a passing truck, flipped through the air and slammed into the road. As soon as it was safe we made a u-turn and backtracked to where the owl lay in the road. I stopped the car with the hazard lights on. The owl wasn’t moving. In the air it looked large and graceful. Now it appeared small and crumpled. “It has to be dead. How could it possibly have survived?” my mother and I asked each other. “Maybe we should just let nature take its course and not interfere?” We both knew we couldn’t do that. We had to check. We couldn’t just drive away. This owl was on the road and in danger of being flattened by the next vehicle. It was also extremely cold out and beginning to rain again. The bird’s feathers would be sodden. Even if it was not seriously injured it could die of shock. We stepped out into thick mud and made our way over to the owl. It was still alive. I could see that it was breathing, but it was impossible to determine the extent of its injuries. Using leather gloves and an old towel stored in the car for emergencies, I gently lifted the owl off the pavement and placed it in a cardboard box. It was surprisingly light. My mother, who is 80, but always game for any adventure, big or small, took charge of the box, keeping it on her lap, and ensuring that its occupant would remain in the box if it revived in the car. She’s an intrepid rescuer of snakes, birds, rabbits, and the occasional stray rodent. It was nearly 5 p.m. and starting to rain. A frantic Google search for wildlife rehab in the area yielded only answering machine messages and a disconnected phone number, but the California Wildlife Center in Calabasas was still open and the staff member agreed to wait for the owl. “Call when you get there,” he said. “Someone will be there to meet you.” We headed back to the 101 and over the Camarillo grade. It took us almost an hour with the rain to reach RESCUE—When we brought the barn owl in it resembled a limp feather duster instead of a live bird. After three days at the California Wildlife Center, the bird was fierce and wild once more—a good sign that he was recovering. He perched on the log in his enclosure and attempted to warn away any human interloper by making himself look as big as possible and moving his head from side to side. Although barn owls look large, most of their bulk—including the distinctive flat heartshaped face—consists of feathers. Barn owls have an impressive 42-47-inch wingspan but rarely weigh more than 18 ounces. MSN Image/Suzanne Guldimann the wildlife center. Halfway there the owl revived enough to flap around in the box. We resisted the temptation to look. My mother kept the lid of the box gently but firmly in place. They were expecting us at the California Wildlife Center. While we filled out the necessary paperwork, the owl was weighed, measured, and found to be dehydrated and suffering from hypothermia. ‘That’s not unusual,” CWC Animal Care Coordinator Denys Hemen told us. “They dehydrate easily.” The patient was placed in an incubator to keep warm and received subcutanious fluids and nutrition. He would have to wait for morning for the vet to examine him. We learned that barn owls depend on the moisture in their prey—primarily mice, pocket gophers and other small rodents—to stay hydrated. Well-meaning but inexperienced would-be rescuers have reportedly drowned owls attempting to give them water. However, experienced rehabilitators have had success using subcutanious fluids to rehydrate owl patients. When we checked on the owl the following day we were told that the veterinary examination did not find any broken bones and blood tests and parasite tests were within normal levels, but the owl was still not able to maintain its body temperature. By the second day, the owl had recovered enough to eat a mouse. CWC staff were now optimistic that the bird would survive. By the end of the week the owl had recovered enough to feel fierce and angry, spreading its wings and bobbing its head to warn the rehab staff to keep away. “It’s a good sign,” Hemen told me. “You know there is something seriously wrong with an owl that lets you just pick it up.” Almost a week and half after his near miss on Las Posas Road, the owl was ready to be released. A study of one barn owl family revealed that a nest of six hatchlings consumed an astonishing 70-plus pounds of rodents. A mature owl may consume as many as three or four rodents each night. However, because the owl population can expand RELEASE—We released the owl within sight of where we found him but in a location with less traffic. We planned to photograph the release, but the second the box was open the owl was out and away. We caught one final glimpse of him speeding silently back out over the fields.

Southern sea otters were listed as threatened under the ESA in 1977. Today, there are just under 2800 southern sea otters inhabiting the coastline from San Mateo County south to Santa Barbara County and approximately 50 sea otters at San Nicolas Island in Ventura County.

According to the planning department, the applicant wants to remodel and expand the coffee shop tenant space by removing the wall that separates it from an adjoining 441 square foot storefront that is currently occupied by a surf shop. Once the project is completed, the total area dedicated to Starbucks will be 1545 square feet. The new 441 square foot addition will be primarily used to add additional storage space and a restroom, according to a planning staff report. The expansion, according to planners, will not result in additional seating or square footage to the existing building. The existing hours of operation are not proposed to change.

At left, Jeff Hall uses a net to secure the sea lion and lower him safely. The sea lion was transferred from CWC to the Marine Mammal Care Center in San Pedro, Wednesday. “Heʼs getting fluids and being treated for several abscesses,” Hall told The News. HELP—While it isnʼt unusual for sea lions to leave their pups on shore while foraging, the pup was reportedly alone for too long, and appeared extremely underweight and weak. Area resident Janette Gorney, who took the photos shown here, called the CWC to report a sea lion in distress after observing that the pup appeared to be alone and in need of medical aid. Marine mammal emergencies can be reported to 310-458-WILD. • ROAD RAGE An alleged transient reportedly threw a rock at a vehicle traveling south bound on PCH near Tuna Canyon on Dec. 20, doing $1500 damage. The deputies responding to the call intercepted the suspect, who told them that he “did throw the rock,” but that he “was the police” and thought “the car traveling [toward him] was going to run him over.” The victim stated that he saw the suspect throw the rock and felt it strike the door of his vehicle. He immediately pulled over to check the vehicle for damage. The suspect was taken into custody and booked for throwing objects at moving vehicles. According to a second report, the same suspect may have been involved in an incident involving a clay flowerpot that was used to smash the window and hood of a vehicle parked in the same vicinity earlier that day, doing an estimated $3000 damage. FENCE FELONY Construction fencing valued at $10,000, two pallets of white plastic PVC piping valued at $3000 and an 8-by-44 foot storage container, valued at $4000, were reported stolen from a construction site on PCH on Dec. 15. The report states that deputies responding to the site observed, “holes in the ground where the informant stated that the fence was previously located/rooted.” There were no witnesses, according to the report. PILFERED PILLS A $100 cashmere sweater, two rum cakes and a bottle of prescription pain medicine were reportedly burgled from a residence in Malibu West on Dec. 22.

MALIBU SURFSIDE NEWS PAGE 15 Long Time Resident Recalls His Favorite Pastimes in 1950s Malibu BY PETE HAYNES The text below is part of a preliminary draft of a work in progress chronicling the author’s thoughts on the history of Malibu and his remembrances as “a kid that grew up here in this paradise.” In those days my dad, Jimmy Decker and Cliff Olson were big time deer hunters. Keeping in mind that they were hunting for food to feed their families. There were a few people that were living in Malibu that objected to their hunting and they would call the Fish and Game to report them, although they were doing nothing wrong. (NOTE) Firing a rifle or shotgun was legal in Malibu back then. Jimmy Decker was the best of the best when it came to deer hunting. Later on in life I heard what made him so successful was that he was color blind. He would spot a deer in heavy brush and he could see it very clearly. My dad would try to see that same deer with no success. Being color blind, I guess, lessened the camouflage factor where the deer was standing. With so many complaints about their deer hunting the Fish and Game officers would then try to catch them anyway that they could, once again they were doing nothing illegal. One day I had just returned home from school, we are now living just south of Paradise Cove, at 27758 Pacific Coast Hwy. and up drove a Fish and Game car with three wardens inside. I, to this day believe that those wardens were on a fishing expedition trying to get something of a violation on my dad, Jimmy and Cliff Olson. One of those wardens looked at me and asked if my dad was home. I replied no he is out on patrol and I didn’t know when he would return. It was then the other warden asked if they could look in our food freezer. I told him that he would have to ask my dad for permission. It was then I heard the 1950 Olds. 88 patrol car hit passing gear and was speeding down our drive which was about one quarter mile from the highway. The car came sliding in sideways and I could tell dad was hoping mad. He told those wardens they had better get their asses, his words, the hell out of there or he would pinch every Fish and Game car that ventured into the Malibu area from then on. Dad’s full name is James P. Haynes. I have the same name except I’am a Jr. I have also gone by my middle name of Pete or Peter. Fast forward to late 1959 and I had just come home on leave from the Army. My good friend and skipper Dick Crank, of the boat, Retreat, out of Port Hueneme called me while I was on leave and told me to get there Jim McHenry while playing in a football game at Zuma beach Jim bit his tongue in two. It took many months for Mrs. Mc Henry to forgive me as I talked her into letting him play. as soon as possible to show his passengers how to catch Yellowtail. The next day I boarded the Retreat and we were on our way to the islands. We arrived and I began catching Yellowtail and showing his passengers how to get them. The answer was fishing with jigs and not live bait. That day I caught 10 nice Yellowtail and was departing the boat at the dock. Up walked a Fish and Game warden and asked to see my fishing license. I told him that I was in the Army and I thought that since I was in the military I didn’t need one. He told me that being in the military wasn’t an excuse for not having one. He said, “you go in and buy a license now and I’ll let you off.” I proceeded into the bait shop and bought a one day license. I then showed the warden the one day license and he really got upset. It was then he looked at my name on the license, James P. Haynes, Jr. Are you the son of Jimmy Haynes? It seemed that he was one of the Fish and Game wardens that my dad threatened at our house in Malibu those many years ago. That guy was screaming at the top of his voice and using some words that I had never heard before. I guess that was justice after all. We are now still in 1954 and once again I’m 15 year old. There were kids in Malibu at that time who were very athletic, however in those days there were no organized sports within Malibu. We would have gym class at school and at lunch we would play pick-up football and baseball games. Some of the local west end guys would get together and play tackle football at Zuma beach and I have to say sometimes it got brutal. However, it was just kids having fun beating the crap out of each other. I remember some of the guys that I played with in those days. Jim Mc Henry, Jimmy Joto, Jackie Decker, Ted Miller, Duffie Fryling just to mention a few. From 1952 to 1954, on New Year’s Day of each of those years we would play a tackle football game at Zuma beach. We called it the Sand ing tackle football with no pads or helmets. One Saturday we had some guys from west L.A. coming out to play us and we needed all of the help we would get. Those guys were monsters. I started calling around to our guys and a couple said they couldn’t play. Both were great players and one of them was Jim Mc Henry. Jim, it seemed, hadn’t done his homework for the week and his mom told me he couldn’t play. The other reason that she didn’t want him playing was because she was afraid that he would get hurt. I wouldn’t take no for an answer over the phone so I proceeded to Jim’s house. I got there and was begging Mrs. Mc Henry to let Jim play when Jim’s dad stepped in. Alright, we now have our best players on the sand at Zuma. Here we go, kickoff. Mc Henry catches the ball and started running the ball back WRANGLER—As a member of Trancas Riders and Ropers, Louie Cavalleri is on horseback and is about to lasso a calf. Louie was the cowboyʼs, cowboy!!! Bowl. This game got to become very popular with some of the adults here and there were lots of people from the community would come out to watch us play. One of those people was Louie Cavalleri. Louie would not only come to watch he would bring his 8 mm camera and film the games. (NOTE) I have the film of one of our games in 1953 here at my house in Malibu West. I just wish Louie would have turned his camera around and scanned the hillsides across from the beach from Mugu Rock to Point Dume. Those shots would have shown that there were only five or six houses on all of those hillsides. Some of the above guys I mentioned above would set up football games with kids from other towns and cities. We would go to their fields or parks and they would come play on our home turf, Zuma. Keep in mind we were play- when he put his head down while being tackled and bit his tongue in two. We had to stop the game and call Jim’s mom to come get him. To make things worse the doctor before she forgave me. Jim and brothers, Mike and Bill always called Mrs. Mc Henry “Hon,” and from the time when she did let me off of the hook, I called her “Hon” until we were all adults. Even with out Mc Henry, the boys and I really took it to those W.L.A. guys and won the game by four touchdowns. Anyone reading the events that I have covered previously, please keep in mind that they happened so many years ago, that I might have erred as to some of the years, ages, and actions of some of the persons mentioned. We are still referring to the years of 1953 to 1955. I’m in the 9th grade at Lincoln Jr. High in Santa Monica and riding the school bus daily. Malibu is now and then known for its many disasters, namely fires and flooding. I will discuss both back in the day. Starting with one of the many fires that we experienced during either 53, 54 or 55. I believe it was 54. My dad, sister Linda and I are living at 27758 Pacific Coast Hwy. just south of Paradise Cove. Like many of Malibu’s fires this one started over the hill from us, I would guess where Agoura is today. I remember seeing smoke and flames proceeding from the north towards our house. There were seven houses with long drives from P.C.H.. Our house was the sixth going from west to east and keep in mind that it was nothing more than a shack. Just east of us was the seventh house. Owned by a doctor, this house was a mansion. The fire jumped P.C.H. and was heading towards us. DANGEROUS—The truck, trailer and the D10 tractor that took Louie Cavalleriʼs life in a freak accident. made a monster mistake and sewed it together. I guess the doctor should have known that you never sew a tongue together until the swelling goes down. I guess I don’t have to tell you that I wasn’t the most popular guy around Mrs. Mc Henry for quite some time. It took about 5 or 6 months It was then I heard and saw a fire engine coming down our drive. The firemen proceeded to knock down the flames and save our house, however there was no fire equipment for the doctor’s house and it burned to the ground. I b elieve that doctor’s property and our property, which was owned by Zilhaver, is now the Annenberg estate. Another thing about fires of any sort is that there is always a risk, not only to our firemen, but anyone who volunteers to help. One of those volunteers, and make no mistake about it, he was a true hero. I’m referring to none other that Louie Cavalleri. Louie would operate his D 10 Cat, cutting fire breaks, in the face of the many fires that we had in Malibu back in the day. He would put himself in harm’s way numerous times during those fires. With all of the times he risked his life to save our beloved Malibu from destruction, he was taken from us in an everyday accident. I just got off the phone with his son Rick and he related to me how Louie actually died. Louie was loading his D 10 Cat onto it’s trailer when the tilt trailer began to lean to the side. Louie was on the Cat and as the trailer started to flip to the right Louie jumped off and landed on the ground next to a fence. The Cat then fell off of the trailer and rolled over trapping Louie underneath crushing him. I for one missed his smiling STUNNER—beautiful Betty Cavalleri when she was a model. This photo was taken by Wayne Wilcox of Malibu in 1951. Betty was then in her early twenites. face back then, and most of Malibu mourned one of it’s great hero’s. He was the cowboy’s, cowboy and we will miss him. I knew Louie and his wife Betty from the time I was 10 years old until adulthood. I also knew Betty was very attractive, however until their eldest son Rick came by the other day, I never knew how attractive. When Louie married Betty he really hit the jack pot. Here is a picture of her when she was modeling. The picture was taken by Wayne Wilcox of Malibu. I believe this shot was taken in the early 50s and she was in her twenties. PAGE 16 The Aquarium AGE The Week of December 27, 2012–January 2, 2012 It’s hard to know what to say at the end of this extraordinarily long year that seems to have gone by in the blink of an eye; a year that started with a painstaking, frustrating, and in certain instances, excruciating Mars Retrograde and ended with a painful, disturbing, and devastating Uranus Direct. All year long emotional bodies have run the gamut between anxiety and ecstasy, wild expectation and dashing disappointment, and now, finally at the finish line, far too many of us are suffering from physical as well as psychic exhaustion. Of course, we can always blame our travails on the stars: 2012 saw the first of seven Uranus/Pluto squares that will extend to March 2015. While those of us interested in astrological cycles understood going into 2012 that Uranus/Pluto contacts are infamous signatures for social change, no one could have predicted the particulars of the turmoil and tumult of the year, nor the depth of resistance to change that seems to ride the surface of our collective skin. And we are still only at the beginning of this crisis of The PUZZLE MALIBU SURFSIDE NEWS DECEMBER 27 • 2012 change. But it wouldn’t be accurate to say that upset and upheaval started this year; if you assess what’s taking place from an evolutionary perspective, the process we’re currently experiencing started much earlier. Without going too far back in history, we could start with Pluto’s move into Capricorn in 2008. Pluto signifies change at the molecular core. Capricorn symbolizes authority, whether that’s personal power, or the power of governments, institutions, or corporations. Certainly, we’re in the midst of foundational shifts in all those areas—this doesn’t mean we’re all in agreement; we’re simply growing increasingly conscious of and uncomfortable with structures that no longer serve. Pluto’s entry into Capricorn isn’t the only contributor to our current crisis. From the fall of 2008 until the fall of 2010, Saturn, the planetary ruler of Capricorn, opposed Uranus, the planetary ruler of Aquarius, and a planet I like to think of as the Che Guevara of the astrological system. Saturn/Uranus combinations signal the dissolution of the status quo, and they are often found in the charts of stock market upsets and the ensuing financial upheaval. But that’s not all. When Uranus completed its entry into Aries on March 11, 2011, the earth actually moved, and the earthquake in Japan so profoundly symbolized what was to come—at least to those of 12/20/12 us paying attention—that it felt too big to digest, let alone metabolize and assimilate into our nervous systems and consciousness, personal or collective. And yet, that is exactly what’s most needed for the next phase in our current crisis of change; for it’s no longer a matter of how much the “earth” has to move to accommodate personal and planetary healing. What we need now is conscious concentration on how to shift the systems we already recognize as toxic to our personal and collective wellbeing. It’s not just the physical violence that needs mediation; it’s also the psychic, emotional, and spiritual violence we participate in everyday – violence to ourselves and to each other – that continues to poison our world. My wish for the coming year is that kindness will infiltrate our wounds and compassion will penetrate our hearts, turning revolution into evolution. If you know your Ascendant and/or your Moon Sign, read that, too. Aries (March 21-April l9): Your emotional cup is likely to run over, but that’s no reason to deny the depth of your feelings. Honor the truth of your heart, and you’ll skillfully manage the intensity. Taurus (April 20-May 20): Embrace the spotlight. Step into the leadership position. And as you enjoy the position of command, just remember to inspire your team with thoughtful, compassionate guidance. Gemini (May 21-June 21): You are moving forward, and so are all those areas in your life that need attention. Take the time to make the necessary adjustments, and your willingness to compromise will help your success. Cancer (June 22-July 22): Although you’ve demonstrated keen concentration, the situation still requires consistent focus. Sure, you’re entitled to a break, but until the time is right, do your best to stay diligent. Leo (July 23-August 22): Consciousness is almost always hard won, and this year was no exception. Acknowledge the fruit of your labor, by recognizing and honoring just how much you’ve grown. Virgo (August 23-September 22): You can attach to the strife or you can remember that even though the situation feels personal, it isn’t. Yes…I am talking about refusing to engage in negative projections, yours or others. Libra (September 23-October 22): It is a matter of authority, specifically, you stepping into yours and owning what it is you need. I know I often encourage this internal process, but ultimately, your first relationship will always be with yourself. Scorpio (October 23-November 21): You can brood about Saturn’s journey through your Sign, or you can welcome its presence as an opportunity to transform stagnant structures in need of creative solutions. Sagittarius (November 22-December 21): If you thought you were talking before—Oy! Fasten your seatbelt, especially if you choose to wield your words as a sword. A word of caution: Kindness will be infinitely more persuasive. Capricorn (December 22-January 19): Rather than argue with significant others, make every effort to find the solid ground of positive and fair compromise. I’m not suggesting you give in; I’m simply advising you to lessen the stern edge. Aquarius (January 20-February 18): There’s nothing wrong with a time out, but you simply don’t have the time. Honor your need for quiet by making time to meditate, contemplate, or simply sit without any distractions. Pisces (February 19-March 20): Hold the sword of righteousness, but make sure it’s not self-righteousness. Yes, you have penetrating insight into many areas, but that doesn’t mean you always have the appropriate perspective. BY RALFEE FINN Copyright © 2012 SOLUTION TO LAST WEEK’s PUZZLE DECEMBER 27 • 2012 MALIBU SURFSIDE NEWS PAGE 17 Salamander Is Secretive and Seldom Seen Garden Inhabitant T he slender salamander is a master of subterfuge. This small amphibian is reportedly the most common salamander in Southern California and can be found during the rainy season throughout Malibu—often living al most underfoot—but it’s rarely identified unless the viewer knows what they are looking at, because the slender salamander is easily mistaken for an earthworm. A small salamander that lives up to the adjective “slender,” this garden resident rarely grows to a length of more than four or five inches—most of that consisting of tail. It has short, almost vestigial limbs, and a body shape and texture that enable it to pass itself off as a worm, unless the observer takes a second look and notices a pair of beady eyes. Slender salamanders do not have lungs. They breath through their skin. The local species reportedly lives entirely on land, rarely traveling more than a few yards in their entire lifetime. Unlike most salamander species, slender salamanders do not have an aquatic larval phase. According to an article written by Elizabeth Jo ckuschi, Inigo MartinezSolano, Robert Hansen and David Wake on morphological and molecular diversification of slender salamanders that was published in the journal Zootaxa earlier this year, “Slender salamanders of the genus Batrachoseps (Caudata: Plethodontidae: Batrachosepini) are the most diverse clade of sala- manders in western North America. Wake, who has conducted extensive research on the genus, has identified numerous species of California slender salamander since the 1970s, helping to bring the total number of identified species to 19, up from just two. The paper indicates that Batrachoseps “is thought to be the sister taxon of the Neotropical salamander clade.” The current theory suggests the California’s slender salamanders ar rived in their current range by riding the Pacific techtonic plate north over the course of millions of years. According to the National Park Service, Malibu's slender salamander population appears to consist primarily of B. nigriventris, the black-bellied slender salamander, and B. pacificus, the Pacific slender salamander. All members of the Batrachoseps family are only active during wet weather when temperatures are moderate. They retreat underground to estivate during much of the year, reviving during the first rains of autumn, although year-round irrigation may increase their period of activity. In Malibu at this time of year, Batrachoseps can often be found under plant pots, stones, dead leaves or even in the cracks between garden paving materials like un-cemented brick. Slender salamanders are thought to live on a diet of small insects and other invertebrates. They are pletely still and pretending to be a worm. They can move surprisingly fast and can also drop, or detach, their tails, in an attempt to distract potential enemies. The slender salamander is completely harmless to humans and acts as a beneficial bug hunter in the garden. Malibuites can help this small, rarely seen backyard resident by limiting or eliminating the use of pesticides and herbicides, by remembering to be careful when moving pots and by keeping an eye out for individuals that may wander accidentally into pools, fountains or houses.

All other considerations are of secondary importance. Mr. Crisco presents us with a point of view equally irrelevant and much more distasteful. This is a nation, not of men, but of laws. My comments reflected the conviction that lawlessness is rampant, and not just with respect to the community with which he is so concerned. My insistence that no one is above the law should not be confused with racism. His choice to default to ad hominem attacks betrays a character in need of reformation. It fascinates me that both of the gentlemen seem far more concerned with the plight of the unauthorized than with that of homegrown Californians who could use the help. And let us not forget our brothers and sisters on the East Coast who are still suffering the effects of that “perfect storm.” In my opinion, the view expressed by these gentlemen serves only to illustrate how we, as a community and a nation, have come to such a sorry pass. Steven Granville Jones DISPARAGER Editor: Re: “Critics Continue to Raise Questions about Lagoon Construction”: Malibu Surfside News, Dec. 20, 2012. A more accurate title for the article would be “Critics Continue to Fabricate Questions about Lagoon Construction.” The slant of the article is obviously biased in favor of restoration opponents. Critics’ complaints make no sense at all. They are quoted complaining about a few excerpts from a few emails that are taken totally out of context. Some guy rants about some sort of imaginary sand berm breach management program that does not exist. An unnamed Malibu resident’s statement is quoted in the article “...she perceives as a major disconnect between the State Parks and the organizations involved in the project...” This is absurd. State Parks works closely with Santa Monica Bay Restoration Commission personnel and all of their contractors all day every day. She goes on to say “It’s clear that they treat us like the enemy, and have done that from the beginning, instead of like neighbors and partners in this process. It’s extremely discouraging.” Are you kidding me? A couple from Playa Vista were active participants in numerous committees and meetings that helped design the lagoon project. Then they grabbed an opportunity to make a bunch of money by opposing it. By spewing years of misinformation and frivolous lawsuits, they made themselves an enemy. They dragged a lot of well-meaning but naive people along on their hay ride of opposition. A Malibu manicurist emailed me just yesterday claiming that “there is no life in the lagoon.” A Malibu realtor recently posted a video on YouTube that shows hundreds of bird [sic] roosting on a new island in the lagoon. In my opinion, the lagoon restoration project has greatly enhanced the ecology at Malibu Lagoon for a remarkably small amont [sic] of money. We rarely if ever read an opinion like this in Malibu Surfside News. The author makes absolutely no attempt to interview people with opinions or information that contradict the author’s obviously biased opinions. Shoddy journalism such as this article might sell some advertisements, but does not contribute at all to “The Community Forum.” Matt Horns SECTION 8.

It only took him a few minutes to learn to sit although he would rather be running around in a backyard or running with someone that loves to jog. #A4483710 Why Lucy is still at the shelter is a mystery the shelter volunteers donʼt understand since she is such a delightful Lab mix. She sits on command, is good with children, walks well on leash, and takes treats nicely. She is absolutely wonderful in every way. #A4490401 AGOURA ANIMAL SHELTER 29525 Agoura Road, Agoura 818-991-0071 • http://animalcare.lac Neither The News nor any of the animal volunteers can determine the appropriateness of a particular animal for a prospective adopter.
