City seeks input from residents regarding future use of Trancas Field 

Barbara Burke 

Freelance Reporter 

The Malibu City Council 

in August approved the 

purchase of 35 acres of 

open space at Trancas Canyon 

Road and Pacific Coast 

Highway. 

The parcel, known as 

Trancas Field, was acquired 

to protect it from high-density 

development. The City 

was to acquire the title to the 

property this month, and the 

City this past week moved 

forward with an action plan 

for community outreach efforts 

concerning the future 

use of Trancas Field. 

Outreach efforts include 

a community questionnaire, 

public meetings, stakeholder 

focus group meetings, 

social media and website 

messaging, newspaper advertisements, 

flyers and 

posters, as well as a dedicated 

web page at MalibuCity. 

org/TrancasField, where 

meeting dates, other project 

information and the questionnaire 

are posted. 

The first public meeting 

was slated to be a teen and 

youth workshop with the 

Harry Barovsky Memorial 

Youth Commission at 

7 p.m. Monday, Oct. 17, at 

Malibu City Hall. 

Community workshops 

for the public are scheduled 

for 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, 

Nov. 2, at Malibu West 

Beach Club, 30756 Pacific 

Coast Highway, and at 6:30 

p.m. Sunday, Nov. 30, at 

Malibu City Hall., 23825 

Stuart Ranch Road. 

The City of Malibu’s 

Parks and Recreation Commission 

held a special meeting 

Oct. 4 to review and 

approve a staff-prepared 

public outreach questionnaire 

to be sent to residents 

concerning the future use of 

Trancas Field. 

At that meeting, the Commission 

reviewed a letter 

submitted by Malibu resident 

Patt Healy, who opined 

that Trancas Field should 

remain an open space, as it 

is one of the last open space 

meadows in the city and affords 

views to the passersby 

on PCH and from Trancas 

Canyon Road. 

“The skate park should 

be located at Bluffs,” Healy 

suggested. “There is the 1.7 

acre, plus a $1,000,000 donation 

to the City from the 

owner of the Crummer parcel, 

which is an ideal location 

for it, since the skate 

park should be centrally 

located, and at a park that 

is staffed with adult supervision, 

in case of accident, 

etc.” 

Healy was referring to 

Malibuite Brian Strange’s 

$1 million matching donation 

behind City plans to 

build a skate park in Malibu 

in commemoration of 

Johnny Strange, a known 

adventurer who died at 23 

last October. 

In September, the Malibu 

City Council discussed the 

creation of a skate park, 

which was initially suggested 

to be built at Trancas 

Field. Council member 

Laura Rosenthal offered La 

Paz or Bluffs Park as other 

options instead of Trancas. 

The questionnaire asks 

citizens to express their 

opinions as to whether Trancas 

Field should be used for 

community facilities such as 

a multi-generational community 

center, nature center, 

visual/performing arts 

center, teen or senior center, 

aquatic facilities, trails 

(walking, biking or equestrian), 

picnic areas, natural

they have regarding the 

potential development of

consideration, the questionnaire 

does list such issues 

as disturbing the natural 

habitat, providing adequate

increased traffic, the costs 

involved in park development

noise or park access.

Taste of PC Greens celebrates 23 years in Malibu 

Barbara Burke 


The mood was festive. 

The samples featured 

healthy snacks, drinks and 

delicacies. 

And there is nothing 

more anyone could have 

asked of Taste of Pacific 

Coast Greens. The Oct. 8 

event marked PC Greens’ 

23rd year in Malibu. 

“We’re glad so many 

people from Malibu came 

to our event today, because 

it gave PC Greens a chance 

to thank all in the community 

for their support over 

the last 23 years,” said Michael 

Osterman, owner of 

PC Greens. “This annual 

event gives our customers a 

chance to try new products 

they have not seen before.” 

There were product presentations 

and samples in 

all departments, allowing 

those attending to experience 

a myriad of taste sensations. 

The Roman Helmets 

band entertained the crowd, 

as attendees made their 

way through many booths 

offering everything from 

seaweed coffee to avocado 

oil-based condiments offered 

by Primal Kitchen 

owned by Malibuite Mark 

Sisson. 

“We’re thrilled to have 

gotten such amazing support 

from PC Greens, and 

we’re grateful that Malibu 

has supported our healthy 

line of food,” Sisson said. 

“We were first in the world 

to make an avocado-based 

mayonnaise, which is the 

Holy Grail of our food line. 

I saw of lot of old friends 

and made a lot of new 

friends.” 

Children made fast 

friends with animals in the

One Gun Ranch petting 

zoo, including burros and 

baby pigs. 

“The petting zoo was 

awesome,” said Erin Woolen, 

who has two toddlers. 

“We love this event and 

come every year.” 

Another four-legged 

friend intrigued attendees 

of all ages. Abigail, an 

18-year-old Duroc/Hampshire 

pig who was rescued 

by The Sanctuary at Soledad 

Goats, put on quite the 

show. She reportedly was a 

runt the sanctuary took, and 

Abigail is to be with the 

sanctuary until she grows 

old. 

Pets were not forgotten 

in the event. Rescue Pet 

Foods offered probioticfortified 

jerky treat samples 

for dogs, while at the next 

table their owners savored 

samples from Igzu, a company 

that makes a bamboo 

leaf tea. 

The samples continued, 

offering something for everyone. 

There were gift 

baskets and raffles. There 

were wine samples offered 

by various vendors. Dolin 

Malibu Estate Vineyards, 

for instance, offered sips of 

its 2014 rosé pinot noir and 

its award-winning chardonnay.

New board has vision, plans for Malibu Playhouse 

Barbara Burke 


Under new direction, 

Malibu Playhouse is determined 

to keep their momentum 

rolling. 

Friends of the Malibu 

Playhouse and dedicated 

volunteers gathered at an 

organizational meeting 

Oct. 2 to address the vision 

for the playhouse, along 

with the practicalities and 

logistics involved in ensuring 

this season is successful. 

“Whatever your interests 

— box office, costumes, 

ushering, set design, writing, 

marketing, music — 

we warmly welcome you to 

our theater team,” Managing 

Director Julia Holland 

said, as she solicited volunteers. 

“Enjoy monthly gatherings 

with theater people, 

veteran volunteers and new 

members.” 

The event was well attended 

by both those who have 

helped the playhouse for 

years and new volunteers. 

Paula Mae Schwartz, the 

new co-chairperson for the 

playhouse, shared her vision 

for the theater venue. 

“My special goal is to 

nurture the next generation 

of theater lovers, from 

when they are budding 

actors in our children’s 

programs to the time they 

come to our adult theater,” 

Schwartz said. “We want 

to introduce new plays like 

the world premiere comedy 

‘Life Expectancy,’ which 

we hope will go all the way 

to Broadway. It’s also important 

to revive classics 

like ‘The Glass Menagerie’ 

and ‘Equus,’ which coincidentally 

both feature young 

adults as the main characters.” 

The playhouse has plans 

to make every effort to ensure 

it is responsive to what 

Malibu residents want. 

There will be community 

focus groups held with 

stakeholders to ensure that 

the venue has events that 

meet the needs and desires 

of all those in Malibu. 

“From stand-up comedy 

on weekday nights to family 

programs on weekends 

to opera and dance, we will 

try to match our diverse 

community,” Schwartz 

said. “Live theater will 

only stay alive if our young 

people start loving it when 

they are kids. That’s the 

mission.” 

Schwartz tried to rally 

everyone around those aspirations 

at the organization’s 

luncheon. 

“My theater friends say 

that our theater and its 6 

acres of beautiful grounds 

and mountain views is the 

most aesthetic in the LA 

area,” Schwartz said. 

What goes on inside the 

playhouse is also notable, 

as well. The idea is that 

if the playhouse’s future 

events match the opening 

night performance of “Life 

Expectancy: A Comedy in 

Three Trimesters,” Malibuites 

could be in for a wonderful 

season. 

Malibu Playhouse offers world premiere of ‘Life Expectancy: A Comedy in Three Trimesters’ 

Barbara Burke 


“Life Expectancy: A 

Comedy in Three Trimesters” 

opened Oct. 8 at Malibu 

Playhouse to a thrilled 

crowd. 

Playwright Catherine 

Butterfield (“It Has To Be 

You,” “Brownstone,” “The 

Way We Live Now”) attempts 

to capture the roller 

coaster of emotions that 

everyone who is expecting 

— or who knows a pair 

of new parents — experiences. 

Butterfield does so 

with a mix of emotion and 

humor. She delves into the 

frenetic feeling of soon-tobe 

parents and digs deep 

into their doubts, as well 

as their complications that 

intervene in the process. 

The production — which 

focuses on a 40-something 

couple who finally get 

pregnant — is narrated by 

the slightly smug authors 

of a “What to Expect” 

book. The couple is led 

on a nine-month journey 

through their nightmares, 

secrets, fantasies and fears, 

with a little paranoia and

“Life Expectancy” is 

fast-paced and uses minimal

the actors. It also features

The Pit, a martial arts 

studio, gave a demonstration 

of the various types of 

martial arts available. There 

was a hot dog stand, and 

tacos were served fresh by 

Rocky’s Tacos. 

But, most of all, there 

were pies. 

Savory pies. Cream pies. 

Fruit pies. Meringue pies. 

Gluten-free pies. Pies with 

creative names, ingredients 

and themes. Simpl but delicious, 

traditional tried-andtrue 

pies. 

“We came all the way 

from Lake Sherwood in 

Westlake for the rhubarb 

pie,” Karla Neser said. We 

purchased the entire pie. 

“My date Ray Otis’ mom 

makes the best rhubarb pie, 

and she’s going to be part of 

the competition next year. 

We call it the Doris pie.” 

Nell Brickman, 7, made 

her award-winning pie with 

pumpkins from Thorne 

Family Farm, using her maternal 

grandmother’s recipe. 

Nell’s special secret is to add 

an extra dash of cinnamon 

for a total of seven dashes. 

Her pumpkin pie took third 

place for entrants ages 7-10. 

Nell’s grandmother died 

when she was just 6 weeks 

old. 

“Her last words were saying 

my name,” Nell said. 

“This is a way for Nell to 

connect with her grandmother.” 

Catherine Brickman, 

Nell’s mother, said. “I started 

baking pies with my grandmother 

when I was her age. 

I just texted my cousin to say 

our pie tradition continues.” 

As the festivities took off, 

it was time to get down to 

the business of pie judging, a 

task that one judge quipped 

was “not a bad gig.” The 

various categories of pies 

were judged by public official, 

prominent citizens and 

happy volunteers. 

Children’s pies were, quite 

appropriately, judged by 

children. 

Nick Ortiz, 8, and Madeus 

Lupo, 7, took their judging 

tasks quite seriously. 

“The Sugar Rush pie was 

very good; it was chocolatey.” 

Nick said. 

“I liked the Malibu Parrot 

pie the best,” Madeus added. 

“I’m going to have to try 

one more flavor!” Nick said 

with a wide grin. 

The Malibu Beach pie, 

made by Kasie Principe, 

won the best pie in the under 

6 category, closely followed 

by Sugar Rush, an 

entry submitted by Wilson 

Shurgot and Declan Doyle. 

The entire Malibu Methodist 

Nursery School Science 

Room submitted the third 

place winner called Sugar 

Pumpkin. 

Jaden Winters and Max 

Shurgot collaborated to win 

first place for entrants ages 

7-10. Juan Cabrillo Elementary’s 

fourth-grade class 

submitted the second place 

apple pie, and Nell Brickman’s 

pumpkin pie won 

third place. 

There were loud cheers 

when Lindsay Little, 10, 

won first place for her raspberry 

delight pie in the fruit 

pie category. 

“I got scared when they 

announced the awards for 

ages 7-10,” Lindsey said. “I 

won as an adult!” 

Seconds later, Lindsay’s 

Malibu Mayor Lou La 

Monte takes the last bite 

of The Great Pumpkin Pie 

Oct. 15, during the judging 

phase of Malibu United 

Methodist Church’s pie 

festival. Suzy Demeter/22nd 

Century Media 

mother, Helena Little, received 

first place in the chocolate 

pie category for her 

crunchy peanut butter pie. 

Beth Milliken was a 

three-time winner. Her pie 

Neapolitan won first place 

in the meringue/cream pie

Malibu animal activist Cindy Landon to receive Philanthropist of the Year award 

Barbara Burke 


The greatness of a nation 

and its moral progress 

can be judged by the way 

its animals are treated, Mahatma 

Gandhi once said. 

Last Chance for Animals 

— a nonprofit organization 

dedicated to eliminating 

animal exploitation through 

education, investigations, 

legislation and public 

awareness campaigns — is 

to honor Malibuite and animals 

rights activist Cindy 

Landon as Philanthropist of 

the Year Oct. 22 at its annual 

benefit gala. 

“Cindy Landon could be 

awarded any of our Top 4 

awards,” said Chris Derose, 

animal activist, actor and 

host of the Last Chance for 

Animals annual gala. “We 

are recognizing her this year 

because she really puts it out 

there and cares so much and 

is so humble. Every time I 

have asked her for help, she 

has never waffled on it and 

has responded, “How? How 

can I help?” 

Malibu Surfside News interviewed 

Landon this week 

and asked her why she is involved 

in the animal rights 

movement and with Last 

Chance for Animals. 

“Eighty billion animals a 

year are slaughtered worldwide 

for dairy, meat and 

eggs,” Landon said. “Onehundred 

million animals 

are killed and tortured in the 

U.S. every year in laboratories 

and schools, when we 

have non-animal methods 

available. Fifty million are 

raised on U.S. fur farms per 

year. 

“Animals are seen as 

commodities and murdered 

for food, fashion, and unnecessary 

experimentation.” 

When asked why she is 

involved with Last Chance 

for Animals, given her many 

“If every person really understood the 

consequences of their choices and how much 

they can make a difference, we could make the 

necessary changes.” 

Cindy Landon – animal activist, on why people should learn and volunteer 

years of activism for animal 

rights and all her other efforts 

for the cause, Landon 

said, “Once I got to know 

Chris DeRose, who is the 

founder of Last Chance for 

Animals, and learned about 

all the incredible work he 

has done for animals on a 

daily basis over the past 37 

years, I wanted to be involved.” 

Since its formation in 

1984, Last Chance for Animals 

has been one of the 

nation’s pioneer animal advocacy 

groups. The organization’s 

educational and 

public outreach programs 

empower the public to make 

positive changes for animals 

in their communities. 

Joining in Landon’s activism 

and support for Last 

Chance for Animals is 

Malibu lover Kenya Kinski- 

Jones, who often rides her 

horse in Topanga Canyon 

and whose earliest memories 

are driving with her 

mother to Malibu. She has 

lent her supermodel celebrity 

status to a public service 

announcement campaign 

for Last Chance for Animals. 

In her campaign, she 

advocates help to save the 

less than 900 critically endangered 

mountain gorillas 

remaining in the wild today 

in Africa’s Virunga National 

Park. 

“We have to act for these 

animals now,” DeRose said. 

“It is the last threshold for 

these amazing animals. 

Their life is on the line. 

Their eyes are liquid brown. 

They look right in your soul. 

We provide direct aid to the 

park’s rangers who try to 

keep them safe.” 

One of Last Chance for 

Animal’s key initiatives, 

the Virunga campaign, is 

focused on the plight of the 

park’s 360 rangers, who risk 

their lives daily defending 

the park and its inhabitants 

from poachers, militants and 

environmental exploitation. 

In announcing her support 

for the effort, Kinski-Jones 

said she hopes her involvement 

in this campaign will 

increase awareness of Africa’s 

endangered mountain 

gorilla population, which 

faces extinction, unless the 

international community 

rallies in support of Virunga 

National Park and its brave 

rangers. 

When asked whether or 

not the imperiled animals 

have a chance of surviving, 

Landon said, “I hope so. 

There has to be a shift in our 

consciousness concerning 

animal rights. It is all tied to 

education. If every person 

really understood the consequences 

of their choices and 

how much they can make a 

difference, we could make 

the necessary changes.” 

But what can the average 

person do to help the animals 

and this cause? 

“They can become more 

aware and understand where 

their food comes from and 

the devastation caused by 

factory farming — the No. 1 

source of greenhouse gases.” 

Landon said. “Become aware 

about how the waste and byproducts 

of factory farming 

[are] polluting our water and 

land resources. They need to 

understand what we are doing 

to the animals and to the 

planet. Behaviors like eating 

more vegetarian and vegan 

meals daily can make a big 

difference.” 

Landon, who said she 

does not like the limelight, 

noted she was honored by 

the recognition she will receive 

as Philanthropist of

“I don’t do what I do for 

recognition; [I] do it because 

I’m passionate about 

it,” she said. “But if I can 

help bring awareness and 

help the cause in any way, 

then I’m on board.” 

The gala is to highlight 

a performance by Rick 

Springfield. The annual fundraiser 

is to feature an African 

theme, in celebration 

of the Albert Schweitzer 

Award honorees Emmanuel 

de Merode, director of the 

Virunga National Park in 

the Congo, and Anthony 

Caere, head of the Virunga’s 

Air Wing Unit. 

Proceeds from the event 

will benefit Last Chance 

for Animal’s efforts to support 

the rangers at Virunga 

National Park and its critically 

endangered mountain 

gorilla population. Defending 

the park and its inhabitants 

is an ongoing battle 

for Virunga’s rangers, who 

risk their lives daily. In the 

past decade, more than 150 

rangers in Africa’s oldest 

park have been murdered in 

what is considered the most 

dangerous conservation job 

in the world. 

“There are three very endangered 

species in Africa,” 

DeRose said. “The mountain 

gorilla and now even 

the lowland gorilla, due to 

forestry delving into what 

were once impenetrable forests; 

the rhino; and the elephant. 

We have to act now.” 

Otherwise, Landon, Kinski-Jones, 

DeRose and many 

scientists say these amazing 

large animals will become 

extinct.

approaches, the husband 

begins to realize that the 

onset of fatherhood is to 

bring a new wave of responsibilities. 

“We’ve got to get life 

insurance!” he announced. 

“I’m changing careers. I 

don’t earn enough money!” 

The narrator quipped, 

“He’s only going through 

his part of the ritual.” 

The play’s extra layer 

highlights the mother-tobe’s 

very own screenwriting 

project. That sub-plot 

plays in the background 

as counterpoint and commentary. 

As the couple proceeds 

in its journey into the second 

trimester, it is time 

for ultrasounds and other 

tests. Addressing what to 

do with the DVD of the 

medical tests, the narrator 

said, “Thanks to modern 

technology, the husband 

may start to view it as a 

video game.” 

As the third trimester 

looms, there are twists and 

turns. The wife’s belly balloons. 

Will they ever get 

through this? Although 

she called her husband the 

“Rock of Gibraltar,” the 

husband admitted he is a 

wreck. 

They are “bruised, yet 

valiant,” the narrator said. 

An colleague reassured 

the husband and told him 

to take one thing at a time. 

His goal should be to “just 

cross the finish line.” 

“It was terrific and 

funny,” audience member 

Melissa Weil said after the 

show. “It really strikes a 

chord. It captures what we 

all go through – or most of 

us.” 

This is the first production 

under the Malibu 

Playhouse’s new board of 

directors. 

“As a father and husband, 

from the first reading 

of Catherine’s hilarious 

script, I knew this was 

a show I really needed to 

be a part of,” VandenHeuvel 

said. “It’s so funny and 

touching and fast. I’ve 

worked with Ron West on 

many occasions, and he 

always brings such energy 

and vibrancy to his work. 

“This show is a must-see 

for everyone. The show 

is incredibly funny, very 

touching and 75 minutes 

of pure entertainment.”

Canvas for a Cause fundraiser benefits International Medical Corps 

Barbara Burke 


Art can offer an international 

worldview, as it recently 

did during a Malibu 

fundraiser. 

Canvas Boutique & Gallery 

held a well-attended 

and well-intended, fundraiser 

Oct. 8 to benefit International 

Medical Corps. 

The event was free and 

open to the public. 

The afternoon featured 

fine art and photography, 

cocktails and music. An 

art auction took place to 

benefit the lifesaving work 

of International Medical 

Corps. The contributing 

artists donated 100 percent 

of the proceeds from the 

auction to the charity. Canvas 

— owned by longtime 

Malibu residents Jacqueline 

and Arlington Forbes 

— donated 10 percent of 

boutique purchases to the 

cause, as well. 

The event could not have 

been more timely – given 

the fact that the organization, 

itself, stays true to its 

motto of “First there, no 

matter where” – International 

Medical Corps had 

boots on the ground in Haiti 

on Oct. 4, when Hurricane 

Matthew made landfall as a 

Category 4 hurricane with 

maximum sustained winds 

of 145 mph on the westernmost 

tip of Haiti. The merciless 

behemoth hurricane 

killed approximately 900 

people, decimating infrastructure 

and leaving some 

350,000 people in desperate 

need of humanitarian 

assistance in the impoverished, 

besieged nation. Two 

days later, International 

Medical Corps had volunteers 

on site when the storm 

hit the Bahamas. 

The Los Angeles-based 

Photographer Jesse Giddings explains his image Oct. 8 during the Canvas for a Cause 

fundraiser in Malibu to benefit International Medical Corps. 

Photos by Suzy Demeter/22nd Century Media 

charity, established in 1984 

by volunteer doctors and 

nurses, has responded to 

every major disaster for 

more than 30 years, delivering 

more than $2.4 billion 

in health care, education 

and training to tens of 

millions of people in 75 nations 

on six continents. 

“I admire that this charity 

goes all over the world 

in disasters and that they’re 

in Haiti right now,” attendee 

Ashak Manja said. “I’m 

here to support wonderful 

art and the doctors.” 

Gerard Kent, another 

event-goer, agreed. 

“I think it is something 

that they do such serious 

work and go to places that 

most people don’t want to 

go to, with 90 percent of all 

the funds they raise going 

straight to those in need,” 

he said. 

Artists featured at Saturday’s 

fundraiser included 

Colin Finlay, Mette Lampcov, 

Jesse Giddings, Alexis 

Deutsch-Adler, Victoria D. 

Sutherland, Sheila Pinkel 

and Jesse Kaplan. 

Giddings travels the 

world as a photographer, 

most recently on assignment 

for International 

Medical Corps to document 

the Syrian refugee crisis 

throughout Europe. 

“This series of photos are 

from earlier this year,” Giddings 

said. “I documented 

the refugee’s plight on the 

Greek islands in my piece 

‘Starry Night with Discarded 

Life Jackets.’ 

“I thought this photo depicted 

the paradox of the 

beautiful night sky under 

the stars and the plight of 

the refugees. I worked a 

night shift with a team of 

medics, and a few boats 

came to shore from Turkey 

with about 50 people in 

each boat. The passengers 

pay the smugglers to help 

them traverse across the 

water in the middle of the 

night. Some of the people 

were suffering from hypothermia, 

many of them 

women and children. The 

boats were half full of water 

when they arrived.” 

Giddings shared a story 

— one of many — about 

how the refugees, already 

victims of turmoil, were 

further victimized by those 

they encountered on their 

perilous journeys. 

“What you don’t realize 

when you see this photograph 

is that there are 

people in Turkey taking advantage 

of these refugees,” 

Giddings said. “Rather 

than help them, they sell 

them these life jackets with 

what look like name brands, 

but inside the ‘life jackets’ 

have Styrofoam inside, so 

when it gets wet, rather 

than helping save them it 

weighs them down.” 

Giddings’ series of photographs 

capture moments 

in the refugees’ arduous 

journey from Lesvos, 

Greece to Macedonia, on to 

Serbia and then to Croatia, 

as the refugees desperately 

tried to reach Germany and, 

hopefully, a new life. 

“The refugees are beautiful 

people,” Giddings said. 

Guest speaker Stephen Tomlin, deputy chief compliance 

officer at International Medical Corps, interacts with an 

attendee at Canvas for a Cause. 

Canvas owners Jacqueline (left) and Arlington Forbes 

pose for a photo during the event. 

“ I saw story after story of 

heartache and trauma, but 

I came away with a message 

of hope and perseverance. 

They wanted to start 

a new life. I am grateful to 

tell this story of hope in my 

photos.” 

Other works like Alexis 

Deutsch-Adler’s “Untitled 

I” – which is made from 

pastel and oil bar – and 

Eugenie Spirito’s statues

Ride of the Week 

Rich Behrle’s hurricane-fighting Ducati 600SL Pantah 

Fireball Tim Lawrence 

Contributing Columnist 

Malibu resident 

As a computer tech 

at Computer Pros 

of Malibu, Rich 

Behrle spends a lot of time 

sitting at a desk and fixing 

other people’s computers. 

And I would assume 

that that can be daunting 

at times and create a real 

need for release? 

So, being the smart guy 

that Behrle is, he opted to 

ride motorcycles and wash 

the work away in the wind. 

As a child, Behrle 

loved bikes. He would do 

whatever it took to get on 

one and experience the 

thrill of riding. This led 

him in 1989 to buy a used 

1982 Ducati 600SL Pantah 

(panther in Italian). And 

although his favorite rides 

are Angeles Crest, The 

Snake past The Rock Store 

and Route 33 through Ojai, 

Behrle has opted to live 

off Pacific Coast Highway 

here in town and scoot that 

lil Panther north and south. 

“It’s got a 599cc L- 

shaped V-Twin,” Behrle 

mentioned as I set up to 

shoot he and his bike. 

“Originally, it had about 

55BHP, and now I believe 

it’s got about 61. Mods 

are the single seat from 

England and the Australian 

Overlander two-into-one 

muffler that was sold 

through [Nepoti, Caracchi, 

Rizzi racing] in the ’80s.” 

We also shot a vlog 

episode in which Behrle 

mentioned that the guy 

he bought it from did not 

really want to sell it. But 

Behrle knew better. After 

some negotiation, the bike 

and some parts ended up in 

his hands, and off he went. 

“I purchased this bike in 

1989, as a sort of ‘seller’s 

remorse,’” Behrle continued, 

noting he previously 

got rid of a 1973 750 Sport

Almost every weekend,

Don’t Panic, It’s Organic 

This is how climate change affects the soil 

Andy Lopez 

Contributing Columnist 

Invisible Gardener 

Organic farmers that 

practice sustainable 

agriculture know 

that there is a relationship 

between the health of the 

soil (and in turn the health 

of what grows in it, the 

health of what eats grow in 

it), and the climate. Many 

old-time farmers actually 

know what the weather 

will be like (based on past 

experiences), and they plan 

according to the climate. 

One of my radio shows 

I call “It’s Alive,” and it is 

all about the soil. 

If you managed to read 

my last column, I mentioned 

that I was having 

a food allergy test. Well, 

one of the things that I had 

always known was brought 

back into my consciousness, 

and that is that my gut 

is full of bacteria, microbes, 

but they are prokaryotes, 

meaning that they have no 

cell nucleus or any other 

membrane-bound organelles 

in their cells. 

This is exactly like the 

soil, with its similar microbial 

life. I remember when 

I was living in Cuba, with 

my great-grandparents. 

Of course, they had an 

organic farmer (mainly, I 

think, because they did not 

have a local store that sold 

the stuff). I would like to 

think they were organic. 

They practiced all the right 

things, as far as I can tell. 

They used cover crops 

(called green manure). 

They used farm animals 

to all of their parts. They 

saved their seeds to grow 

next year, picking the best 

to grow again. 

Of course, they made 

compost. I remember the 

steam and the wonderful 

smells that came from 

the piles. The piles were 

always big (maybe cause I 

was small). 

One of the things that 

stuck in my brain is this: 

everyone basically would 

tell me that it was good for 

my health to go out into 

the garden; pull out, say, a 

carrot; clean it off a little 

of the soil; and eat it. Of 

course, at that time, I did 

not connect what I was actually 

eating, as I do now. 

Can you guess? I also was 

eating, from the soil, microbial 

life, and I was giving it 

to my body, and it went right 

into my body and became 

part of my microbiome. 

The microbes and more that 

were part of the soil were 

now in my body, and it was 

helping my body process the 

food. What is important to 

understand here is the effect 

that climate change has on 

this microbiological life 

and how that reverberates 

through the whole living 

organism called earth, and 

nourishes it. 

There are many reasons 

why we need to protect and 

nourish the soil in addition 

to our growing needs. 

We humans seem to 

be bent on killing and 

destroying everything in 

sight. We have destroyed 

more than 50 percent of the 

world’s fertile soil, where 

we grow our food. Keep 

up this type of destruction, 

and it will not be long 

before we cannot grow any 

food at all in this manner. 

This also is complicated 

by desertification — the 

drying up of farmlands and 

a messed up water cycle 

(either flood or drought). 

But, actually, here is the 

bigger problem. Did you 

know that soil carbon is 

dependent upon decomposing 

organic matter and the 

microbial life needed to do 

that? Did you know that organic 

matter holds water in 

the soil and is an important 

foundation of living soil? 

Top soil is important 

in holding in the rain and 

using it slowly, as it needs 

it. Without the top soil, the 

rain washes away, and then 

there will be no reserves 

when needed. 

By destroying the top 

soil, we have been contributing 

to drastic climate 

change, not just by our 

industrial use of oil and 

other pollutants. It seems 

that humans have developed 

this offensive ability 

or habit of doing just the 

wrong things for all the 

wrong reasons. There is 

the loss of all this top soil; 

along with the loss of 

more than 50 percent of 

the world’s forests; along 

with the overuse of carbon 

dioxide-polluting machinery 

(cars, etc.); along with 

the toxins in the water, 

air, soil. Then, throw in 

ignorance and arrogance, 

and we have a prescription 

for disaster. 

Speaking of carbon in 

the soil, Without topsoil, 

the soil cannot hold carbon 

dioxide. It is called carbon 

sequestration. Farmers 

have been tilling the soil 

more and more, since 

equipment has been used. 

In the past, you were limited 

to how much you could 

till with a horse and plow. 

Now, it is millions of acres. 

Did you know what happens 

when you till the soil? 

You release the carbon 

dioxide that it holds. Plus, 

you till off the microbes 

that are living there. 

Think of the soil as a 

high-rise condo with separate 

microbial living on the 

different floors. They each 

have a job to do. When 

you turn over the soil, 

you are bringing down 

this “condo” and have 

destroyed the soil’s ability 

to function. It will not be 

storing any carbon dioxide 

anytime soon. 

It has been estimated 

that approximately 40 percent 

of the excess carbon 

dioxide in the atmosphere 

comes from this release 

in the soil by our current 

farming practices. 

While there is not much 

one can do about these 

farming practices, other than 

to demand change, we can 

take care of our piece of 

earth. It is, therefore, important 

that we, as home and 

property owners, must take 

better care of our home. 

Malibu also has the responsibility 

for taking care 

of its piece of earth. We 

can be sustainable. 

During these next few 

months, we must start to 

apply rock dust, compost 

and then mulch. This 

mixture is necessary to 

keep the soil’s microbial 

life alive — not just wood 

chips, which do nothing to 

the soil other than protect it 

from the heat. This is good 

for most areas, if nothing is 

being grown in it, but not 

for productive areas.

Election Day is just around the corner 

BILL JONES 

news@malibusurfsidenews.com 

It turns out the 2016 

Presidential Election 

campaign cycle is not 

endless, after all. 

Though it may feel 

that way to many, after 

the heated battles that 

started in the lead-up to 

the General Primary early 

this year, there is a light 

at the end of the tunnel. 

And the end of the tunnel 

is marked by the date 

Tuesday, Nov. 8. 

Make sure to remember 

that. 

(Yes, this is the obligatory 

“voting is important” 

editorial.) 

Love it or hate it, this 

has been one of the most 

passionate election cycles 

in recent memory, both 

in terms of the candidates 

and their supporters. 

Strong opinions abound, 

but so, too often, does 

voter apathy when it 

comes time to actually 

head to the polls. 

You argued intensely 

with people you don’t 

even know on social media 

over these issues. You 

claim these things are of 

utmost importance to you, 

your family, your community 

and your country. And 

you just know that one 

candidate will get things 

done, while the other 

would muck it all up. 

So why stop now? Finish 

what you started, and 

vote.

it is important to let them

important. That is how 

this system works. 

Also, do not forget that 

while the presidential

taking center stage, this 

election has local ballot

All debate ends with the 

‘Malibu Team’ 

The “Malibu Team” — 

also know as “The [John] 

Mazza Machine” — ([Skylar] 

Peak, [Rick] Mullen and 

[Zuma Jay] Wagner) say the 

past councils have been prodevelopment. 

Really? 

The past City Council 

stopped development on the 

Chili Cook-off, where a huge 

shopping center was going to 

be built, and instead gave us 

a park, which Jefferson Wagner 

voted against. 

Now, Wagner brags he is 

the force behind “Stop the 

Swap.” Meaning he would 

rather turn control of Bluffs 

Park over to Joe Edminson, 

who wants to put 39 camp 

sites at Bluffs Park. 

Has he asked what the residents 

feel about that? 

And let’s not forget Skylar 

Peak wanted to plunk down 

a skateboard park at Trancas 

with no thought given to 

what the surrounding residents 

awnt. 

Camp sites on Bluffs 

Park? Skateboard parks and 

dirt bike racing BMX paths 

in Trancas? 

Someone better wake up 

and start doing their homework. 

If you vote for these three, 

all debate ends and we get 

Mazza making the decisions.

Candidates should explain 

how they plan to deliver 

There is no such thing as 

a free lunch. 

All the Council candidates 

are for slow growth. 

No one wants over-development. 

When I ran for office 

years ago, we had a plan 

and during the campaign we 

explained it. Our plan was 

to purchase Legacy Park, 

and by doing so we stopped 

forever that property from 

being developed into a huge 

shopping mall. 

Jefferson Wagner voted 

against building Legacy 

Park. I preferred a park to a 

mall and never understood 

why Jefferson did not want 

a park there. 

My problem with Jefferson, 

Skyar [Peak] and Rick 

[Mullen] is they say they 

want to limit development. 

Admiral goal. I think every 

candidate has the same goal. 

My problem is so far they 

refuse to say how they will 

do it. Jefferson, Skylar, Rick 

— specifically how do you 

plan to accomplish your 

goals? 

It is one thing to promise 

a free lunch during the 

campaign and quite another 

to deliver on promises if 

elected.

by the versatile and dynamic 

Verona Quartet at 2 p.m. 

Sunday, Oct. 23, in Raitt 

Recital Hall at Pepperdine 


Coast Highway in Malibu. 

Tickets — priced at $28 

for the public and $10 for 

full-time Pepperdine students 

— are available now 

by calling (310) 506-4522 

or online at arts.pepperdine.edu. 

The program is to include 

Joseph Haydn’s “String 

Quartet, Op. 50, No.1;” Felix 

Mendelssohn’s “String 

Quartet Op. 44, No. 2 in E

Op. 59, No. 2 in E minor.” 

The quartet features 

Jonathan Ong on violin, 

Dorothy Ro on violin, Abigail 

Rojansky on viola, and 

Warren Hagerty on cello. 

The Verona Quartet is a 

winner of the 2015 Concert 

Artists Guild Victor 

Elmaleh Competition, following 

in a long line of 

successful CAG string 

quartets, such as the Alexander, 

Miami, Parker and 

Pacifica Quartets. It was 

the Pacifica Quartet who 

mentored the Verona foursome 

when they formed in 

2013 at Indiana University, 

and in less than three years 

the Verona Quartet have set 

themselves apart as one of 

the most compelling young 

quartets in chamber music. 

In the 2015-2016 school 

year, Verona Quartet was 

honored as the Graduate 

Resident String Quartet and 

its members Lisa Arnhold 

Fellows at The Juilliard 

School, where they taught 

classes and worked closely 

with members of the Juilliard 

String Quartet. The 

Juilliard School presented 

the Verona Quartet’s Lincoln 

Center debut in May 

2016 at Alice Tully Hall. 

The Verona Quartet has 

performed across four continents 

in venues such as 

Wigmore Hall (London, 

UK), Izumi Hall (Osaka, 

Japan), the National Theatre 

(Abu Dhabi, UAE), 

the Melbourne Recital Hall 

(Melbourne, Australia), 

and the John F. Kennedy 

Center for the Performing 

Arts (Washington, D.C.). 

They have also appeared 

on National Public Radio, 

“The Weekly Special” on 

PBS and Abu Dhabi Classical 

FM. 

At the 2015 CAG Competition, 

the Verona Quartet 

also was awarded the 

BMI Commissioning Prize, 

resulting in a brand new 

work to be written for the 

ensemble’s February 2017 

concert on the CAG Winners’ 

Series at Weill Recital 

Hall at Carnegie Hall. In 

addition, the group has recently 

garnered top prizes 

at numerous competitions 

worldwide: Wigmore Hall 

International String Quartet 

Competition (née London 

International String 

Quartet Competition); 

Coleman Chamber Music 

Competition; Chesapeake 

International Chamber Music 

Competition; Fischoff 

National Chamber Music 

Competition; Melbourne 

International Chamber Music 

Competition; and the

the animal puppets, scenic 

effects and music that have 

earned international recognition 

for Mermaid Theatre. 

The hour-long staged 

adaptation brings a fresh 

appreciation of the stories 

and images that have delighted 

several generations. 

Few writers have been 

as attuned to the concerns 

and emotions of childhood 

as Margaret Wise Brown 

(1910–1952). Brown, a former 

teacher, believed that 

very young children could 

be fascinated by the simple 

pleasures of the world 

around them. Few had previously 

attempted to write 

specifically for children 

ages 2-5, and Brown created 

some of the most enduring 

and beloved children’s 

books of all time, as well 

as developed the concept 

of the first durable board 

book. 

Illustrator Clement Hurd 

worked closely with Brown 

on her books. He graduated 

from Yale University and 

studied painting in Paris 

in the 1930s with Fernand 

Léger and others. His engaging 

semi-abstract style 

became world-famous with 

the publication in 1942 of 

The Runaway Bunny and 

Goodnight Moon in 1947 

— collaborations with 

Brown that became two of 

the 20th Century’s bestknown 

children’s books. 

Founded in 1972, Mermaid 

Theatre’s unique 

adaptations of children’s 

literature have delighted 

more than 5 million young 

people in sixteen countries 

on four continents. Based 

in Windsor, a small rural 

town in Nova Scotia’s 

Avon region, the company 

performs for more than 

300,000 spectators annually 

and currently ranks among 

North America’s most active 

touring organizations. 

Closer to home, Mermaid 

offers instruction at all levels 

through its Institute of 

Puppetry Arts, welcomes 

artists-in-residence through 

its Theatre Loft, provides 

a unique outreach program 

for adolescents through the 

Youtheatre, and offers a vibrant 

performing arts series 

at the Mermaid Imperial 

Performing Arts Centre.

Chumash gardener shares culture, plants 

Barbara Burke 


The Malibu Garden Club 

got a lesson Oct. 5 not only 

in botany but in culture. 

The Malibu Garden Club 

launched its 2016-2017 

season with an informative 

ethnobotanical presentation 

titled Local Native Plants 

by Carmen Sandoval, a 

Chumash master gardener, 

cultural educator and jeweler. 

Sandoval is a graduate of 

the Santa Barbara Botanical 

Gardens Master Gardener 

Program and a Californiacredentialed 

Shamala Chumash 

language educator. 

The Chumash’s name for 

themselves is Shamala — 

pronounced with the ‘s’ and 

‘h’ separated. 

The presentation provided 

a wealth of knowledge 

regarding indigenous 

plants, their traditional uses 

in medicine and ceremonies, 

and their vital role in 

drought-tolerant landscaping. 

Sandoval kicked off her 

presentation with a song 

in Shamala and acknowledged 

the garden club’s 

meeting space at Point 

Dume Clubhouse as an ancestral 

land. 

When she finished, she 

told the crowd, “I enjoy 

singing dearly. Usually, the 

land tells me what it wants 

to hear, and that is what it 

wanted today.” 

Sandoval later identified 

native plants with 

their Shamala and English 

names, and explained how 

the Chumash use all parts 

of the plants for various 

purposes. 

She started with Taq — 

“cattails,” in English — 

and said that the Shamala 

people gathered the plant’s 

pollen to mix with seeds 

and plant mustard to make 

a gruel that was used to assist 

women in the last stages 

of pregnancy, as well as 

during childbirth. 

“The stems of this plant 

are very long,” Sandoval 

explained. “You pound out 

the white part of the plant 

that is in the ground, and it 

can be used as an ashcake 

or a toile.” 

Next, she said that Poš 

— a soft-shell pinon often 

found in California — was 

used for traditional jewelry, 

and that the gray pine, a 

different species, has a soft 

shell and was gathered and 

then stored to be eaten later. 

The gray pine will only 

grow at elevations of 2,500 

feet or more. 

“We gather from the 

pines when they start to 

turn an almondy color,” 

Sandoval said. “That is 

usually in June or July.” 

The Chumash lived along 

the southern California 

coast and Channel Islands. 

Live oaks are aplenty in 

those areas, and acorn flour 

was a staple of their diet. 

To add, acorns took a 

long time to prepare. Dried, 

shelled acorns were ground 

to a powder with a stone 

mortar and pestle. The 

acorn’s bitter tannic acid 

Pictured are two Chumash gourds that were displayed 

Oct. 5 by presenter Carmen Sandoval for a Malibu 

Garden Club program called Local Native Plants. 

Barbara Burke/22nd Century Media 

was removed by a leaching 

process — pouring water 

through the meal. 

Finally, the acorn flour 

was mixed with water in a 

tightly woven basket and 

cooked with red-hot porous 

stones placed into the liquid. 

While stirring the mixture, 

the liquid soon boiled 

and thickened. The Chumash 

ate this acorn soup 

with every meal. 

Swá, also a toile, was 

used for thatching Chumash 

homes. Sandoval 

explained that Swá was 

harvested when the plant 

was young to make it more 

pliable for building. It was 

dried, then rehydrated and 

then allowed to drain before 

the Chumash used it 

to make structures. That 

process ensured there was 

no shrinkage. Therefore, 

when it rained, the structure 

could absorb the rain. 

Meq (yucca) plants were 

used in the Chumash’s ceremonies. 

“They were gathered,” 

Sandoval explained. “The 

leaves were pounded out,

Forbidden Broadway 

was first seen at Palsson’s 

Supper Club on New 

York’s Upper West Side in 

1982. An unemployed actor, 

Gerard Alessandrini, 

wanted a showcase for his 

talents. He decided to assemble 

some of the musical 

parodies of Broadway 

shows he had written since 

childhood into a nightclub 

act. Critics and audiences 

were wowed, and it has 

since become New York’s 

longest-running musical 

comedy revue.

Updated regularly, “Forbidden 

Broadway” has had

several national and international

The show also has become

many of whom have gone

on television and in

and one pulls up the candle 

from the inside. The candle 

was used at the winter solstice. 

“You who have a garden 

can observe a shift in your 

plants when there is a solstice,” 

she said. “The winter 

solstice was important 

and was a gathering time 

for the Chumash. People 

from the Channel Islands, 

the sea and the mountains 

would come adorned and 

represent their family in an 

offering using the candle. 

“You can harvest this 

plant and not kill it. It’s all 

about feel and touch, when 

you are harvesting these 

plants.” 

An audience member 

asked, “But how did they 

know what they could eat?” 

“We look for indicators,” 

Sandoval responded. 

“The animals will tell us. 

The Chumash are in tune 

with the world. It is not unusual 

for me to hear a tribal 

member say, ‘I went to the 

gather, and the plant told 

me no.’ 

“We connect to the plants 

as people. They are aunties. 

They are feminine, because 

they reproduce.” 

The Chumash homeland 

offered a wide variety of 

food supplies, including 

many kinds of fish and 

gathered clams, mussels 

and abalone.

said. “In the middle of the

Ask, and ye shall receive. 

“People were always asking 

us to serve breakfast,” 

said Arleene Solis, manager 

of Neptune’s Net. “So, we 

have started serving a basic 

good breakfast at a good 

value.” 

Iconic Neptune’s Net — 

a Malibu landmark that has 

been a hangout for surfers 

and bikers alike for more 

than five decades — is 

known for its seafood and 

as a venue for many movies 

like “Fast & Furious,” 

“Losin’ It,” “Point Break,” 

“People Like Us,” as well as 

its idyllic ocean views. 

Now, it boasts a wealth of 

breakfast items.

Breakfast at the restaurant 

is back by popular demand. 

“Serving breakfast 

worked well, way back

worked at Neptune’s Net for 

29 years. “Lou Gossett Jr. 

used to come in all the time 

for grits years ago.”

Pepperdine Athletics 

2017 baseball schedule released, team highlights big matchups 

Pepperdine Baseball Head 

Coach Rick Hirtensteiner has 

released the team’s 2017 schedule. 

The slate features an opening 

weekend homestand, a road 

swing through Texas A&M and 

Rice, a home series against California 

and the full West Coast 

Conference lineup. 

The Waves are to start the season 

Feb. 17 with a three-game 

series against St. Joseph’s in 

Malibu. Pepperdine also is to 

host its annual Scolinos Alumni 

Game Feb. 4 at Eddy D. Field 

Stadium. 

The Waves are to open their 

Texas road trip with a threegame 

set at Texas A&M, Feb. 25- 

26. Pepperdine then is to take on 

Sam Houston State in a midweek 

game (March 1) before playing 

three games at Rice (March 3-5). 

All three teams were participants 

in last year’s NCAA postseason, 

with Texas A&M making a 

run into the super-regional, Rice 

making a regional final and Sam 

Houston State making a regional 

run, as well. 

The Waves are to host California 

for three games March 10- 

12, then welcome Grand Canyon 

for games on March 17 and 

19. Sandwiched in between the 

Grand Canyon games is to be a 

March 18 contest against Long 

Beach State, followed by a game 

between Grand Canyon and the 

Dirtbags at Eddy D. Field Stadium. 

Highlighting the single-game 

matchups for the Waves this season 

will be traditional home and 

away contests against UC Santa 

Barbara, Cal State Northridge 

and Cal Poly. UC Santa Barbara 

is coming off of its first ever trip 

to the College World Series this 

past year. Pepperdine also plays 

a home and away midweek series 

with Fresno State and is to 

host Stony Brook. 

WCC play is scheduled to 

start March 24, when the Waves 

head to Pacific for a three-game 

series. Pepperdine plays road series 

at Pacific, Portland, BYU, 

San Francisco and San Diego 

this year, and will host Gonzaga, 

Loyola Marymount, Santa Clara 

and Saint Mary’s. 

The WCC Tournament will 

once again be held in Stockton, 

California, at Banner Island 

Ballpark and is to feature the 

Top 4 teams in the conference at 

the end of the season. WCC postseason 

play is scheduled for May 

25-27. 

The Waves’ 52 game schedule 

consists of 26 home games and 

26 away games. Pepperdine is 

coming off a 29-24 season and 

a third straight trip to the WCC 

Tournament. The Waves have 

made the NCAA Postseason two 

of the last three years. 

Pepperdine alum Lynn Williams 

gets USWNT call-up, named MVP 

of NWSL 

It’s already been a big week for 

Pepperdine women’s soccer alum 

Lynn Williams, and the news just 

keeps getting better for the Western 

New York Flash star, as she 

was named Most Valuable Player 

of the National Women’s Soccer 

League, while also receiving a 

call-up to the U.S. National Team 

Oct. 6. 

Williams scored two goals in 

extra time the weekend before 

to lead the Flash to a 4-3 victory 

over Portland Thorns FC in the 

NWSL semifinals. 

She previously earned the 

NWSL’s Golden Boot Award, after 

scoring 11 goals in 19 appearances. 

Her amazing second season 

in the pros did not go unnoticed 

by U.S. Soccer. She was one of 

24 players named to a training 

camp roster ahead of two upcoming 

friendlies against Switzerland 

(Oct. 19 and 23). Williams is one 

of 11 uncapped players who have 

been called into the camp. 

Williams had an all-time great 

career while in Malibu, leading 

the Waves to three NCAA Tournament 

appearances in four years, 

culminating with a run into the 

Sweet 16 during her senior campaign 

in 2014. She was named a 

First Team All-American as a senior 

and finished her career with 

39 total goals, which is good for 

second on the all-time Pepperdine 

list. Williams also finished her 

career tied for first in the record 

book with 24 assists and second 

in total points with 102. Her 15 

game-winning goals are a Pepperdine 

record. 

Williams was selected sixth 

overall by the Flash in the 2015 

NWSL Draft, becoming the highest 

drafted Wave to date. As well 

as her All-American honors, Williams 

was a semifinalist for the 

2014 MAC Hermann Award, 

given annually to the top player 

in collegiate soccer. 

Williams had previously taken 

part in U.S. U-23 National Team 

camps and games in 2014 and 

2015. 

Pepperdine men’s water polo 

drops 10-8 decision to UC Santa 

Barbara 

The No. 8 Pepperdine men’s 

water polo team fell at home, 10- 

8, to No. 7 UC Santa Barbara the 

evening of Oct. 6 in a non-conference 

matchup. 

The Waves stormed back to 

take a lead in the third quarter, 

but UC Santa Barbara found a run 

of their own to pull away in the 

fourth. Pepperdine falls to 8-6 on 

the year, while the Gauchos move 

to 8-4. 

After UC Santa Barbara took 

a 4-3 lead into the half, the Gauchos 

went up by two with an early 

score. Pepperdine came roaring 

back, though, scoring on its next 

three possessions to take a 6-5 

lead. 

The Gauchos scored the next 

five goals, however, netting two 

before the end of the quarter to 

go up 7-6 heading to the fourth. 

Three goals to start the final period 

made it 10-6. 

The Waves scored at the 2 minutes 

and 26 seconds and 1:58 

marks, but were stopped on their 

next two possessions to end the 

game. 

Sean Thomas and Mark Urban 

each scored twice to lead 

the home team. Reed Cotterill 

and Shane Hauschild each 

posted three goals for UC Santa 

Barbara. 

Both teams finished the game 

going 4-for-10 on power play opportunities, 

and each team got off 

25 shots in the game. 

Marco Asic scored a late penalty 

shot for Pepperdine to give 

the Waves eight goals, but Liam 

Lenihan saved the next two Pepperdine 

attempts to stall out the 

Waves run. 

Portland stages comeback to 

down Waves women’s volleyball 

in five 

The Pepperdine women’s volleyball 

team dropped one to West 

Coast Conference competitor’s 

Portland in five sets, despite going 

up 2-0 to start the match the 

afternoon of Oct. 8 in Firestone 

Fieldhouse. 

Pepperdine battled back for a 

26-24 first set win and went ahead 

with a solid 25-12 second set, but 

the Pilots would not be easy to put 

down, as the opposition collected 

25-23, 25-18 and 15-10 final set 

wins to be victorious in five. 

The Waves (7-11, 1-5 WCC) 

finished the day with a .171 hitting 

percentage, after putting 

down 60 kills. The team also produced 

five aces, 76 digs and 11 

team blocks. 

Portland (10-8, 3-3 WCC) had 

a .138 success rate with 59 kills, 

and posted five aces, 89 digs and 

8 team blocks throughout the 

match. 

Two Waves hit for double-figure 

kills, with freshman Hannah 

Frohling leading the Waves with 

a powerful 15 kills, just one shy 

of her career-record, on top of a 

.256 hitting percentage. Sophomore 

Tarah Wylie was good for 

12 kills on a .207 attack output, 

while adding four blocks. 

Sophomores Jenna Tunnell and 

Heidi Dyer each posted doubledoubles 

throughout the match, 

with Tunnell leading the team 

with career-bests 26 assists and 

19 digs, while tying her careerhigh 

with two aces. Dyer boasted 

22 assists and 15 digs, along with 

nine kills and four blocks in an 

all-around effort. 

Freshman Jaiden Farr was a 

key component for the Waves 

with nine kills, 13 digs and an 

ace. Freshman Hana Lishman 

also was good for double-figure 

digs with 15 throughout. 

Junior Ashley Harris added 

seven kills on a .231 success rate 

and four blocks, and freshman 

Jasmine Gross was good for six 

kills on a .227 hitting percentage 

as well as six digs and seven 

blocks. Junior Ashley Morgan 

added nine digs, as well. 

The Waves and Pilots came out 

neck and neck to start the match, 

amassing an 8-8 tie before the opposition 

worked ahead to a 12-8 

advantage. Portland maintained 

the lead throughout the majority 

of the set, until the 20-17 mark, 

when the Waves started to roll 

and tied the Pilots 20-20. After 

a few back-and-forth points, the 

Waves closed out the set 26-24 

with a kill from Frohling, and a 

block collaboration by Gross and 

Dyer. 

Pepperdine dominated the second 

set from start to finish, collecting 

a 10-3 lead to start things 

off. Portland was able to collect 

a few points throughout, but a 

six-point run late in the set put 

the Waves up with a sizeable 

lead, 18-8, with the help of Morgan 

at the service line. The home

Pepperdine’s Hannah Seabert has big talent, big ambitions 

Chris Megginson 


Leaping through the air, 

throwing her body in front 

of a fast-moving soccer 

ball with a game on the line 

gives Pepperdine women’s 

soccer goalkeeper Hannah 

Seabert a rush like no other. 

“You know that you’re 

the deciding factor on 

what’s going to happen in 

the next couple of seconds,” 

said Seabert, a senior from 

Riverside. “There’s just 

such a rush that comes with 

it. There’s a competitiveness 

to it and a sense of satisfaction 

when you make 

an amazing save.” 

She has experienced 

that rush and satisfaction 

hundreds of times as 

a four-year starter for No. 

25 Pepperdine. Through 

73 games, since Day 1 of 

her freshman season, Seabert 

has made 309 saves 

en route to 42 wins and 25 

shutouts. Most recently, 

she, along with the Waves’ 

defense, secured three shutout 

wins in a row to begin 

October — a feat that 

earned her West Coast Conference 

Player of the Week 

honors on Oct. 10. 

Seabert came to the 

sport a bit later than most 

youth, being discovered 

during school recess at age 

10. A year later, she first 

stepped foot in goal and 

went on to play club ball 

and for Woodcrest Christian 

School, where she sat 

single-season records as a 

junior. 

After choosing Pepperdine 

for college, she was 

immediately thrust into a 

leadership role as a freshman 

and voted captain as 

a sophomore. She credits 

past captains Christina 

Hilliard and Lynn Williams 

as influencing her leadership. 

“The experience I got in 

those early years is a huge 

part of why I am the player 

I am today. You can’t trade 

experience for anything. It 

doesn’t matter how hard 

you practice, experience is 

what shapes you as a player,” 

Seabert said. 

As she now prepares to 

close her Pepperdine career, 

she is in reach of collegiate 

records. 

“There’s amazing women 

who have come before 

me, and coming in my 

freshman year, I knew I 

had big shoes to fill,” Seabert 

said. “These records 

would mean a lot to me, 

just knowing that I could 

leave my mark on Pepperdine 

and my legacy.” 

Seabert ranks Top 3 in 

the Pepperdine record book 

for all goalkeeping categories 

and is closing in on the 

career saves record (319) 

held by her women’s soccer 

alumni big sister Anna 

Picarelli, who is a member 

of the Italian national 

team. Seabert also said she 

believes the career wins record 

(47) is achievable. It 

currently is held by predecessor 

Roxy Barker (2009- 

2012), who is a two-time 

Olympian for South Africa. 

“We’ve had a great history 

of amazing goalkeepers,” 

said Pepperdine head 

coach Tim Ward. “For me, 

Hannah and those two 

are the best three keepers 

we’ve had at Pepperdine, 

and we’ve had some good 

ones. 

“One of the things that’s 

interesting about Hannah 

is she’s put up those stats 

in an era where we have 

played maybe the hardest 

schedules. We’ve had a Top 

20 schedule the last four 

years.” 

Speaking of performing 

against the best, both Seabert 

and Ward point to her 

sophomore season for her 

career highlight. It was not 

her single-game high 15 

saves against San Diego 

State, but blocking a deciding 

penalty kick against 

USC in a PK shootout at 

home to advance to past the 

first round of the NCAA 

Tournament en route to a 

Sweet 16 finish. 

“It was an amazing moment,” 

Seabert said. “We 

dog-piled and had so many 

people cheering for us. 

Making that save and seeing 

Courtney [Assumma] 

secure it with a PK is something 

I wouldn’t trade for 

anything else.” 

As much as Seabert 

dreams about those past 

saves, she said she day 

dreams about saves she has 

not yet made — difficult 

ones, ones that she sees 

pros make, ones she hopes 

to make one day professionally. 

“I know I’m not done 

playing,” she said. “I have 

so much more to give, and I 

have so much more to do.” 

Seabert is projected as a 

Top 4 goalkeeper in the upcoming 

National Women’s 

Soccer League College 

Draft, which is slated to 

take place in January at the 

Los Angeles Convention 

Center. Should she not get 

drafted, she plans to try out 

as a free agent or pursue a 

professional career in Europe. 

“Any team would be 

lucky to have her,” Ward 

said. “I think there’s a lot 

of really good soccer players 

out there, but I think 

Pepperdine University’s Hannah Seabert plays in goal during a women’s soccer game. 

She recently was named West Coast Conference Player of the Week. 

Stephen Wandzura/Pepperdine University 

the highest level requires a 

certain level of athleticism, 

and I think Hannah has 

that. She’s improved in areas 

of her game this year ... 

and has really taken to heart 

sort of a profile of what a 

professional goalkeeper 

looks like, and she’s added 

to her game the areas she’s 

needed to.” 

But first, regular season 

games remain for the 

Waves, which hope to 

make a run at a WCC title 

and return to the NCAA 

Tournament. 

“We think its due time 

that we do it again, and we 

know that we’re fully capable 

of it,” she said. “We’re 

ready for the challenge. As 

seniors, we all know that 

it’s grind time, and it’s one 

of our last chances. We 

know that it’s now or never, 

and we’re trying to take advantage 

of this opportunity 

completely.” 

Ward describes his captain 

as a woman of strong 

Christian character — 

steady, calm and wise. That 

also shows off the field, 

where the sports administration 

major serves as 

co-president of the Wave 

Leadership Council, athletics 

representative on 

the Student Philanthropy 

Council and a leader for the 

student-athlete Bible study 

Sideline. Over the summer, 

she was selected to attend 

the NCAA Career in Sports 

Forum in Indianapolis. 

When her playing career 

concludes, she said she 

hopes to one day work at 

a sports arena in premium 

ticket sales or marketing.

Malibu football player captures 

other sports in his free time 

Ryan Flynn 


Through some nifty 

camera work, Brandon 

Chaisson is bringing the 

talent and hard work of 

Malibu High School sports 

into focus. 

The junior, 16, mostly 

accomplishes this goal behind 

the lens of his Canon 

Rebel T6. He is easy to spot 

on the sidelines of Malibu 

High School volleyball or 

basketball games, his camera 

up on a tripod, watching 

the footage in real time 

on a monitor beside the 

camera. 

But Chaisson is not just 

capturing game film. He 

also is moving the shots 

in tight to film individual 

feats of talent and effort. 

By editing the video on his 

laptop, Chaisson can end 

up with either compelling 

game film or a more personal 

package focused on 

one player. 

“My goal before I leave 

the high school is to film 

all the sports, so that each 

sport has video to represent 

who they are,” he said. 

Chaisson has always 

had a love for film, but 

the sports coverage began 

last year when his sister — 

then a senior on the girls 

basketball team — was 

gearing up for one of the 

last games of her career at 

a tournament in Las Vegas. 

“I thought my mom 

would want some video of 

her last game,” Chaisson 

said. 

He shot it by using the 

style he does now: focusing 

on one specific player 

but also getting wide shots 

and mixing up perspective 

to create a compelling 

package. 

A distinctive and 

dynamic K-12 

independent collegepreparatory

innovation and

Returning from the tournament, 

Chaisson showed 

his film teacher, Rachel 

Stowell, the results. The 

two agreed, if Chaisson 

wanted to continue shooting 

school sporting events, 

it could go toward the 80 

hours of community service 

each Malibu High 

School student is required 

to complete before graduation. 

Chaisson probably hit 

that number in a month. 

“He’s fabulous,” Stowell 

said. “He’s incredibly interested 

in learning about 

filmmaking. Every aspect 

of it. The only [negative] 

thing is he’s impatient to 

know more. So, any project 

I give him, he goes at it 

incredibly professionally.”

10 Questions 

with Pria Marie Sundher 

Pria Marie Sundher, 17, is a senior who 

plays libero for the Malibu High School 

girls volleyball team. 

What is your favorite thing about 

volleyball? 

My favorite thing about volleyball is the 

whole team aspect. I really love being able 

to get together with a group of girls who all 

share the same passion for the sport and are 

able to play for each other. Having great 

teammates makes the whole sport so much 

fun. 

What about volleyball made you 

first get into it? 

When I was in elementary school, my 

friend’s mom introduced me to volleyball 

and taught me how to play at the beach. 

Ever since, I fell in love with the sport and 

started playing club volleyball in the sixth 

grade. Once I got to high school, I joined 

the school team. 

Do you have a favorite athlete? 

Kerri Walsh, [Olympic gold medalist 

and professional beach volleyball player]. 

I actually met her twice at different volleyball 

camps. 

What are your goals for the rest of 

this season? 

Right now, our team has a winning record 

of 9-1, and we are first in our league. 

I’m hoping that the team can pull through 

and be able to keep our winning streak for 

our next two games in league. This will be 

the first time since 2007 that Malibu has 

won league, which is really exciting. 

What are your plans after high 

school? 

I hope to go to college and be able to 

play volleyball, whether it is the school’s 

team or club. 

Playing libero, what has to be 

different about your mindset than 

the other positions? 

Suzy Demeter/22nd Century Media 

I think the main thing is that I really have 

to just do anything to not let the ball drop. 

Whether it’s chasing the ball down or diving 

onto the court, my position revolves 

around defense and basically sacrificing 

my body to the ball. 

What is your dream job? 

I’m not really sure yet! 

What other hobbies do you have? 

I really like photography and artsy 

things, like drawing and painting. Also, I 

really enjoy cooking and different types of 

food. 

Favorite song to hear before a 

game? 

My team always listens to “Bring Em 

Out” by T.I. before the game. It’s been a 

tradition since my freshman year. 

Do you have any other pregame 

rituals? 

We always get together before the game 

and do this dance called “Ride That Pony,” 

where we get in a circle and start singing 

and dancing. It always helps pump us up 

and get hyped for the game.

team was then able to put 

the set away 25-12, influenced 

by an ace from Farr 

and a Dyer, Wylie block 

effort. 

With the Waves up 

2-0, Pepperdine came out 

strong in the third, once 

again working ahead early 

en route to a 17-9 set advantage. 

The Pilots put 

down a few service aces 

and strong attacks, however, 

and tied the set at the 

22-22 mark. The opposition 

then collected the final 

three points necessary to 

win the set 25-23 and keep 

the match going. 

The momentum was 

in Portland’s court from 

there on out, as the Pilots 

worked ahead to a 12-8 

lead early in the fourth. 

The opponents continued 

to excel on the offensive, 

collecting a 17-11 lead late 

in the set that the Waves 

would be unable to overcome. 

Portland eventually 

took a 25-18 set win to tie 

the match 2-2. 

Pepperdine found it hard 

to rally in the fifth set, and 

after a 5-5 tie with the help 

of sophomore Adria Johnson’s 

second career ace, 

Portland then took over an 

advantage the Waves were 

unable to overturn. The 

Pilots finished the match 

with a 15-10 win to take 

the five-set conference victory. 

No. 25 Waves women’s 

soccer beats No. 5 BYU 1-0 

to take first in WCC 

The No. 25 Pepperdine 

women’s soccer team took 

sole possession of first 

place in the West Coast 

Conference Oct. 8 with a 

big win over No. 5 BYU, 

1-0. 

Bri Visalli converted a 

penalty shot in the 75th 

minute for the only score 

of the game, in what was 

a very physical defensive 

battle. Pepperdine moved 

to 8-3-3 overall and 3-0-1 

in the WCC, while BYU 

fell to 11-2-1, 2-1-1 WCC. 

The Waves have yet to allow 

a goal in conference 

play, opening the WCC 

season with four consecutive 

shutouts. 

The Waves and Cougars 

battled through a defensive 

first half, with both 

teams getting just one ball 

on target through the first 

45 minutes. BYU’s Ashley 

Hatch made the first dangerous 

attempt for either 

team in the game, sending 

a ball on target in the 11th 

minute, but Hannah Seabert 

was there for the save. 

Seabert had to make just 

two saves in the game, but 

commanded the box on every 

set piece and did not 

let the Cougars get to anything 

in the air. The Pepperdine 

keeper now has 

eight shutouts on the year. 

The Waves backline also 

played a big role in stifling 

a BYU attack that came 

into the game scoring 2.69 

goals per game, allowing 

the Cougars to get off just 

seven shots in the contest. 

Visalli drew the penalty 

in the 75th minute, when 

she was taken down trying 

to get to a cross in front of 

the goal. The junior midfielder 

calmly slotted the 

kick for her third goal of 

the year. 

The Waves held off the 

BYU push the rest of the 

way. Seabert came out to 

grab a dangerous cross in 

the 84th minute, grabbing 

the ball just inches from 

the head of a Cougars attacker. 

The Pepperdine 

keeper had to make just 

one save in the second 

half. That stop came in 

the 54th minute, when she 

had to dive to stop a close 

range attempt. 

The Waves nearly broke 

the scoreless tie in the 51st 

minute, when Rylee Baisden 

sent a shot just inches 

over the crossbar. Pepperdine 

outshot BYU 11-7 for 

the game and 7-4 in the 

second half. 

Coming into play, BYU 

had outscored opponents 

35-7 and had been held 

scoreless just twice. Pepperdine 

was unbeaten in 

its last six games with this 

win.

in the consolation semifinal 

and was to play for the consolation 

title. 

Stefani and Runglerdkriangkrai, 

a duo ranked No. 6 

in the Oracle/ITA doubles 

rankings, began the tournament 

in the main draw, 

besting William and Mary’s 

Marie Faure and Lauren 

Goodman in the round of 

16, and 13th-ranked Nour 

Abbes and Miki Kobayashi 

in the quarterfinal, to advance. 

Then, in a tough semifinal 

match this afternoon, 

the pair went head-to-head 

with No. 2-ranked and topseeded 

Florida pair Brooke 

Austin and Kourtney 

Keegan. The Waves bested 

the opposition with 7-6, 6-7 

and 10-7 set scores to move 

on to the final against No.

Carter of North Carolina. 

No. 2-ranked single 

Stefani worked her way 

through the consolation 

singles bracket, and continued 

winning ways with 

a 6-4, 6-3 win over No.

20-6 

The No. 8 Pepperdine 

men’s water polo team 

scored a convincing 20-6 

victory over No. 18 Air 

Force the afternoon of 

Oct. 9 in a non-conference 

matchup. 

The Waves moved to 9-7 

with the win, while the Falcons 

fell to 3-10. 

Sam Paur paced the 

Waves in the first half, 

scoring three times to help 

Pepperdine to a 9-3 lead at 

halftime 

The Waves jumped out 

to a 4-0 lead before the Falcons 

got on the board with 

1 minute and 4 seconds left 

in the first quarter. Paur 

scored back-to-back goals 

to end the period, getting 

his second with 6 seconds 

left in the quarter to keep 

Pepperdine up by four. 

The Waves outscored 

Air Force 6-1 in the third 

quarter and then 5-2 in the 

fourth. 

Mark Urban ended up 

leading the Waves with 

four goals on the day, as six 

Pepperdine players notched 

multiple goals in the game. 

Riley Thomas had four 

goals for the Falcons. 

The Waves were 4-for-7 

on power play chances and 

held Air Force to just 2-for- 

7. 

Zack Rhodes made five 

saves in goal in the first 

half, and Philippe Marco 

made four in the second.

Chaisson said. 

Chaisson figured players 

could use the footage

“I wanted to show people

Chaisson said he is trying

the local PTSA to use for

requests from athletes and 

parents, and crafts highlight 

packages with specific 

students in mind. 

Chaisson is an athlete 

himself, the starting center 

for varsity football. Shooting 

other sports has been 

dependent upon his availability 

outside of football. 

The best part for him, 

Chaisson said, is the gratitude 

he gets from fellow 

students. 

“They’re really amazing 

players, so I like when 

they thank me and say, ‘I 

never knew how cool I 

looked,’” he said. “I just 

want to show them how I 

see [them].” 

Chaisson’s father, who 

is also in the film industry, 

is an inspiration. Chaisson 

said he plans to pursue directing 

after high school. 

In the meantime, it’s all 

about the legacy he plans 

to leave. 

“I just want to show my 

friends and future students 

of Malibu High that it’s 

an amazing school, full of 

very supportive people,” 

Chaisson said. “I just want 

to show everyone who we 

are, how hard we work and 

how we come together to 

achieve our goals. That’s 

the legacy I want to leave.” 

The work of Chaisson 

and other students at Shark 

TV is available at malibuhighsharktv.com.
