Monday night, March 17, the county committee held its final public hearing regarding the future of Malibu’s school district. The meeting took place at 6 p.m. at the Pico Boulevard campus of Santa Monica College, a location 47 miles away from Malibu High School via the 101 and 405 freeways.
During the meeting, the City of Malibu presented its case for the establishment of a separate school district, advocating for more localized control and attention to the needs of Malibu’s students and families. Following the presentation, representatives from Santa Monica rebutted the proposal, outlining their position and concerns.
Each side was given 20 minutes to present their case, followed by 45 minutes of public comments, where residents of both Malibu and Santa Monica voiced their support and concerns. Afterward, the committee heard summations before concluding the meeting.
The committee will vote next month on the matter. However, the vote is advisory to the LA County Board of Education, which will then hold its own advisory vote. That vote will be forwarded to the State Board of Education, which could take up to four years to render a decision.
The process could be expedited with special legislation in Sacramento, but that remains uncertain at this time. The Malibu Times will continue to follow this issue closely and provide updates as they become available.
Summer Wheaton, the Los Angeles woman charged in connection with the fatal crash on Pacific Coast Highway on July 4, has been ordered to wear an alcohol-monitoring ankle bracelet.
At a court appearance Monday, Superior Court Commissioner Sarah Ellenberg ordered Wheaton to register for a SCRAM (Secure Continuous Remote Alcohol Monitor) device within two days.
Wheaton, 33, allegedly drove intoxicated after attending a July 4 party at Nobu, crossing the center median, colliding head-on with ride-share driver Martin Okeke, who was killed in the crash. Prosecutors say Wheaton’s blood alcohol level was .10, over the legal limit. Prosecutors also allege she was driving 81 mph when she veered out of her eastbound lane into westbound traffic. She pleaded not guilty to charges of gross vehicular manslaughter and causing great bodily harm while intoxicated.
A wrongful-death lawsuit filed by Okeke’s family names Wheaton, Nobu Malibu, and event organizers as defendants, alleging that Wheaton was hired to attend the party and was encouraged to drink. Nobu denies hiring her. The event’spermit had been rescinded by Malibu officials days before the party due to safety concerns, yet it proceeded, raising further legal questions.
Wheaton remains out on a $230,000 bond and is scheduled for a preliminary hearing in late April.
The City of Malibu and City Manager Steve McClary have mutually agreed to part ways, marking the conclusion of McClary’s tenure with the city. The decision, announced in an emailed press release last Wednesday, was made in the best interest of both parties to ensure a smooth transition as Malibu looks ahead.
During a special meeting on Feb. 27, the Malibu City Council focused on fire recovery efforts and expanding community engagement opportunities. The meeting followed a closed session, during which interim City Attorney Trevor Rusin provided a statement regarding McClary’s status.
“The city manager has been on leave, and the city has been working with the current city manager on an agreement that would result in a separation from the city, which will be brought back on consent at a future meeting,” Rusin stated. “The city is exploring its options for the city manager position and will report back to the public in the future. At this time, Joe Toney will continue to serve as the acting city manager.”
McClary, who left for vacation in late November 2024 and was expected to return in January, has not resumed his duties. In the press release, he expressed gratitude for his time serving Malibu.
“I want to express my deepest gratitude to the Malibu community and City Council for the opportunity to serve as your City Manager,” said McClary. “It has been an honor to work alongside such dedicated residents, businesses, and city staff.I will always cherish the memories and experiences I’ve had here.”
Reflecting on his time in Malibu, McClary added, “From the stunning natural beauty to the strong sense of neighborhood and civic engagement, Malibu has left an indelible mark on my heart. I wish the city and its residents all the best for the future. I am confident that Malibu will continue to thrive.”
Mayor Doug Stewart acknowledged McClary’s contributions, stating, “Steve has played an important role in guiding the city through key initiatives, and we are grateful for his leadership and dedication. On behalf of the City Council, I want to express our appreciation for his contributions and wish him success in his next chapter.”
McClary has been out of the office for personal reasons since Thanksgiving, with Assistant City Manager Joe Toney serving as acting city manager during his absence. During this time, Malibu faced two wildfires, including the Palisades Fire, one of the most severe in California’s history. However, McClary did not acknowledge this in his parting words. The City Council is continuing to evaluate its options for filling the city manager position and will provide updates to the public as decisions are made.
The City of Malibu invites the community to an Open House at the Malibu Rebuild Center on Wednesday, March 19, from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. This dedicated facility provides personalized, in-person support for residents and business owners navigating the rebuilding process.
Attendees will have the opportunity to explore the center’s valuable resources, meet with city staff, and learn about services designed to assist in reconstruction efforts. Whether you’re in the early planning stages or finalizing your project, the Malibu Rebuild Center offers essential guidance to help you move forward.
Junior guard Moe Odum and senior forward Stefan Todorovic lead the Waves to three consecutive wins
Career-best performances by junior guard Moe Odum and senior forward Stefan Todorovic propelled the Pepperdine men’s basketball team to three consecutive wins and the West Coast Conference Tournament semifinals at the Orleans Arena in Las Vegas.
Odum had a career-high 13 assists and became the first NCAA Division I player to record three conference tournament games with over 15 points and 10 assists in the Waves’ 78-76 victory over Santa Clara in the tournament quarterfinals on March 9.
The day before in the third round, Todorovic scored a career-high 34 points to lead Pepperdine to a 77-73 win over Oregon State. Odum scored a career-best 31 points and dished out 11 assists in the Waves’ 86-73 win over the Portland Pilots in the second round on March 7.

The Waves’ run ended March 10 with a 74-59 loss to top-seeded St. Mary’s, leaving Pepperdine’s season record at 13-22.
Odum, a slim, 6-foot-1 player from the Bronx, N.Y., said he plays bigger than his size suggests.
“I look skinny, but I don’t play like it,” he said. “I come and face everybody, look somebody in the eye and let them know I am here. I doesn’t even matter if they are stocky, skinny, big. It doesn’t matter.”
The three wins matched the longest winning streak the Waves had during their 31-game regular season. The squad entered the tournament on a five-game losing streak. Before downing Portland, Pepperdine’s last win was an 88-81 victory over San Diego on Feb. 13.
Pepperdine had a first-round bye in the tournament.
Against Portland, Odum dropped 26 points in the second half. He went 12 of 17 from the field and six of 10 from three-point range. Odum either scored or assisted on 37 of Pepperdine’s last 44 points in the matchup. He splashed four threes during a Waves 18-2 run that led to Pepperdine winning the game.

Odum had the ball and dribbled as the game clock expired and the Waves claimed their first victory in the single-elimination tournament. The guard yelled, “I’m not going home. I’m not going home.”
Todorovic had 19 points in the win.
His offensive explosion happened in the next game. In the victory over Oregon State, Todorovic shot 55.6% on two-point shots and threes. It was his fourth 30-point outing of the season. Odum had 17 points and 10 assists.
Odum and Todorovic each scored 19 points in Pepperdine’s defeat of Santa Clara. Additionally, big man Boubacar Coulibaly scored 11 points and grabbed six rebounds. The 6-foot-10 redshirt senior also had three assists and a block. Sophomore swingman Dovydas Butka tallied 13 points, four rebounds, and three steals.
The Waves were down by as much as 13 points in the first half against Santa Clara. However, shotmaking by Todorovic, Odum, and freshman guard Jason Olvera kept Pepperdine in striking distance.
Santa Clara led 40-36 at halftime.
Santa Clara had the lead from much of the second half, but the Waves pushed their way into the game.
Todorovic swished a three to tie the scoreboard at 56, and then freshman forward Danilo Dozic hit a jumper to give the Waves their first lead. Pepperdine led 66-58 with seven minutes to play. Redshirt junior guard Zion Bethea made two free throws to give Pepperdine a two-possession lead late in the game before the win was secured.
Marni Kamins, who lost part of her family’s home in the Franklin Fire, replaces Hill on Planning Commission
Kraig Hill was appointed to the Malibu Planning Commission five and a half years ago by Mikke Pierson, former Malibu City Councilmember. He was re-appointed to the position by Malibu Councilmember Bruce Silverstein after he was elected.
Hill recently resigned and Silverstein has appointed Marni Kamins, who recently sustained damage to part of her family’s home in the Franklin Fire. A psychotherapist by profession and a dedicated mom who is actively involved in her daughter Fredi’s schooling and extracurricular activities, Kamins will bring a layperson’s perspective to matters considered by the commission.
“Marni does not have planning experience, and I wanted to appoint someone who does not have that experience to the commission so as to bring a fresh set of eyes to review matters before the commission,” Silverstein explained, adding that he is very confident that Kamins will come up to speed concerning the provisions of the applicable code and other matters relating to serving on the commission.
“I want to make sure that every fire victim who wants to appear before the Commission feels heard and understood,” Kamins said. “Even if a fire victim cannot rebuild his or her home for some reason, we on the commission should hear their story about their loss.”
For his part, Hill appeared during public comments at the City Council’s meeting on March 10, remarking about his service on the commission.
“Looking back over my years of service, I’ve made some positive contributions to the community over the years — the most recent may have been lobbying the City Council to open the rebuilding ordinance process to more public participation through interactive workshops, which is turning out to be a good move,” he said. “I want to thank the council and city staff for appreciating that the community can play a direct and helpful role in its own governance.”
Chatting with The Malibu Times about his years of service, Hill stated that he thinks he has “helped the commission to better appreciate how some issues are black and white in the applicable code, while some have shades of gray.”
Through discussions and deliberations centering on the exact role of the commission, he feels that he has helped to clarify “the process of the commission regarding its ‘quasi-judicial’ role.”
Elaborating, he opined. that many people may misunderstand the proper role of the commission.
“Our role is not as a political body — it’s not a junior varsity City Council,” he said. “To be able to treat everyone fairly, commissioners must read the language of the codes closely, following what their words actually mean and should only resort to ‘interpretation’ when it’s a situation that is not covered by the code.”
He also noted that as “quasi-judicial officials, where commissioners do have a limited scope of interpretation, they must respect precedent consisting of decisions that have been made previously concerning projects that are similar to one another.”
Hill emphasized that it is of paramount importance to be fair and to try to be consistent. He stated that he will contribute to the community when his skills will be helpful and noted that he himself is facing the daunting task of rebuilding his family home of 55 years in Big Rock that burned in the Palisades Fire.
For her part, Kamins looks forward to serving on the commission and to helping however she can as Malibu rebuilds.
A small earthquake rattled Malibu on Sunday evening, March 16, at 8:21 p.m. According to the United States Geological Survey (USGS), the microquake measured a magnitude of 1.5 and occurred approximately 10 kilometers (6 miles) northwest of Malibu. The event struck at a depth of 11 kilometers (7 miles) beneath the surface.
While the quake was relatively minor and unlikely to have been widely felt, residents in nearby areas such as Westlake Village, Agoura Hills, Thousand Oaks, and Oak Park may have experienced slight vibrations. Given its low magnitude, the earthquake did not cause any reported damage or injuries.
USGS data indicates that earthquakes of this size are common in seismically active Southern California, though they typically go unnoticed by most residents.
Seismologists emphasize that small earthquakes serve as reminders of the region’s active fault lines and the importance of earthquake preparedness. Experts encourage residents to review their emergency plans and supplies in the event of a larger seismic event.
If you felt the earthquake, the USGS invites the public to report their experiences on the “Did You Feel It?” section of their website to help scientists gather data on the quake’s impact.
For more information on earthquake safety and preparedness, visit the USGS or local emergency management websites.
A resilient community works together through the Corral Canyon Fire Safety Alliance to combat wildfire risks
Nearly 500 residents call Corral Canyon home, all of whom are familiar with dealing with enduring Red Flag warnings and devastating wildfires. Approximately 22 homes in Corral and Latigo canyons were lost in the Woolsey Fire in 2018 and 53 homes in Corral and Latigo Canyons were consumed by the Woolsey Fire in 2018, according to Paul Morra, who helped to establish the Corral Canyon Fire Safety Alliance, a public benefit corporation, in 2009.
The CCFSA protects residents and their properties from fires, including providing support and resources to the Corral Canyon Call Firefighter program and Engine 271, a unit owned by the CCFSA. The organization also serves as a voice for community matters so residents and various government agencies can collaborate to address public safety concerns inCorral Canyon and the Santa Monica Mountains.
An overview of the various citizen-based efforts to protect Corral Canyon from fires and other disasters
On Feb. 22, the CCFSA’s board and members met at the Malibu Library to review how the organization and canyon residents weathered the Franklin Fire in December and the Palisades Fire in January.
Quoting U.S. President Harry S Truman, Steve Breese, president of the CCFSA Board of Directors began the meeting by saying, “It’s amazing what you can accomplish when you do not care who gets the credit.” Breese and the other board members set the gathering’s cooperative and unified tone — all attendees agreed they are very grateful to live in their beautiful canyon and they concurred that a coordinated, well-prepared group of neighbors can join together and make all of their homes fire-hardened and can collectively avoid the spread of wildfires.
With that vision in mind, they discussed how various volunteer organizations coordinated and used their CCFSA radios to provide neighbors with critical information as volunteers vigilantly tried to spot fires, knock down developing fires and guarded their neighborhood by looking for potential arsonists.

CCFSA’s members used their radios to communicate
“Everybody who is a member of CCFSA has two radios and we can use them most effectively by not using them for person-to-person calls, which frees them up for volunteers to use them and communicate with residents, providing them with essential information concerning a fire and whether they need to evacuate,” Breese said. “Radio users need to be succinct with clear messages pertaining to emergencies.”
Breese’s essential message — it worked to use the radios for critically-needed communications, it didn’t work well to use them for personal messages or lengthy communications. He noted that by sometime next year, T-Mobile is going toprovide Starlink directly to subscribers’ mobile phones, which will be very helpful. In the meantime, he advised that it’sbest to ensure the radios are tested, properly programmed, and that their antennas are positioned to best get reception.
“CCFSA has an FCC license,” Richard Garvey, director of the CERT program said, displaying various radio accessories that residents could use. “Our reception capability is improved because we are connected to the Castro repeater.”
John Shafai shared information concerning how the radio system works.
“There is an antenna in a closet at my house at the top of the ridgeline, and it has backup battery generators and we have to keep a gas generator powered to supply power if and when the battery generators run out of power,” he explained.
Corral Canyon resident Stuart Halpern commended, “I am very grateful for the work of the Corral Canyon Safety Alliance — my neighbors in the group are wonderful, smart and extremely dedicated to the safety of the community.”
In December, when the Franklin Fire burst out in Malibu and during the Palisades Fire, CCFSA and other group efforts discussed in the meeting proved to be invaluable.

A terrifyingly close call
Overall, Breese and Shafai said that the radios were of immense assistance, especially when a fire was spotted in El Nido as the Palisades Fire raged.
“We hit that fire in 3.5 minutes — by the time we got to it, it had grown from 3 to 4 feet in size to a full 20 to 30 feet — it did so within only three minutes!” Shafai shared. “The fire was spotted on the east side of El Nido and it was blazing toward the homes — if we had not knocked it down, it could have burned up to the upper bowl.”
That was one close call!
“There was a suspicious person located at the top of Corral at the barricades and he had a couple of knives and sophisticated fire equipment,” Shafai said. “No one witnessed him start the fire, but we understand that he was arrested by the sheriff.”
Call firefighters, Engine 271, and the planned Corral fire station
Seventeen years ago, Corral Canyon residents had a vision of forming its own fire response program. The Los Angeles County Fire Department quickly recognized the opportunity to assist by creating an effective county-sponsored program and thus, a new Call Firefighter program was created.
“If there is a fire in Corral Canyon, the Call Firefighters, a group of six people who live in Corral Canyon who work with LA County, mobilize to address it,” said Matt Haines, who was certified as a Call Firefighter after he and others in Corral Canyon voluntarily fought the 2007 blaze in his neighborhood with his own fire truck, successfully saving a block of houses.
Haines noted that the LAFD provides various levels of training for Call Firefighter program participants, offering an initial recruit academy consisting of 64 hours of intense firefighting techniques and fire safety. During the academy, the Call Firefighters study fire behavior, firefighting techniques, fire safety, and they receive hands-on training in wildland and structure fire behaviors, emergency response, and rescue and communications. Further, they complete the Apparatus Operator Academy, a 40-hour program providing extensive training in operating fire apparatus, firefighting operations, hydraulics, driving techniques, safety procedures, and communications.
Engine 271, which was donated to CCFSA by the National Park Service, which oversees nearby Solstice Canyon, is ready to respond on a 24/7 basis to emergencies and stays in Corral Canyon during red flag warnings and fire events, Haines noted.
Kelly Kincaid provided an update about the planned fire station in the bowl, where Engine 271 and a smaller brush truck will eventually be housed.
“We purchased the land for our fire station in 2019 and we have spent a considerable amount of time and money for the project — $57,241.45 has been spent on permits and engineering services,” Kincaid said. “We still have many more steps to make having our station a reality. Recently, we had to hire a new biologist.”
She added, “Once the county’s regional planning receives all necessary information, we can have structural engineers design the floor plan.” Kincaid shared that CCFSA is seeking support from elected officials to help expedite obtaining the necessary permits.
Arson Watch and the Community Brigade are integral to addressing fire hazards
“You have a great community and in a wildfire, communication is key to preserving it,” said Aron Marderosian, a member of the Malibu West Brigade. He and Tim Bigelow, another brigade member, provided attendees with an after-action report and noted that it is critical to expeditiously respond to wildfires and it is imperative that those volunteers who are actively fighting a fire as well as residents be able to communicate clearly under Red Flag conditions.
“When we are in the dark, strong winds are blowing, and we have no internet or power, the radios we use are our lifeline communications,” Marderosian said. He noted that he began volunteering in efforts to proactively address fire and other dangers by becoming a member of Arson Watch. “If a person joins Arson Watch, he or she is given a radio and training focusing on the proper procedures to follow.” Members of Arson Watch also assist in incidents such as downed power lines, trees blocking roads, and similar dangerous occurrences, he added.
Bigelow and Marderosian explained that the community brigade provides a bridge between all neighborhoods and government agencies so as to ensure a unified response to fires. “In a disaster the chain of command in every neighborhood brigade interfaces with the Malibu Community Brigade, which coordinates firefighting efforts with the Los Angeles Fire Department,” Bigelow said.
Preparing for the next fire: Home hardening is the way to go
“Home hardening is the best way to prepare for fires and ember storms and every resident needs to take responsibility for their grounds,” Marderosian emphasized, discussing how one can best protect homes and other structures against fire dangers. “Defensible spaces — areas that extend 100 feet from a structure in every direction that have no flammable materials — are of great help in reducing the risk of homes burning due to a wildfire or a subsequent ember storm.”
Marderosian and Deborah Rubenacker explained that it is imperative that homeowners maintain a 5-foot noncombustible zone around their homes and decks and that during a wildfire, residents move anything burnable such as planters, patio furniture, gas BBQ tanks, and cushions at least 30 feet away from any structure.
If you leave your home — your home is on its own
“We all know that if we leave our home, it is on its own,” Haines said, noting that fire engines often do not show up in Corral Canyon to fight a fire front or during subsequent ember storms. “I’ve lived in the Canyon for 35 years and have experienced four to five fires,” he said. “If your home is sitting without anyone protecting it, it is waiting for an ember to ignite it — there is a 60% chance that could happen between three and hours after the firewall hits.”
Haines elaborated: “If you have to leave your property, have hoses laid out with proper nozzles so that first responders can easily attach them to hydrants. Doing so is of immense help in battling a fire.”
Haines and others told Sophia Soudani-John, emergency manager deputy for LA County Supervisor Lindsey P. Horvath, that they advocate a code requirement mandating that new builds have a valve and hydrant to provide first responders with critically needed water sources to battle blazes.
“It is not very hard to install the plumbing needed to support a fire hydrant,” Haines emphasized.
Home ignition zone evaluations and Firewise Community Certification
Board member Bambi Young suggested that Corral Canyon consider being certified as a Firewise Community, which she noted, “results in insurance companies possibly providing insureds with a price break.” Rubenacker noted that home ignition zone evaluations are available so that residents can assess whether they have successfully hardened their homes against wildfires. She noted that such assessments will help residents and the overall Corral Canyon community determine whether they qualify for Firewise certification.
Rubenacker advises readers to visit Malibucity.org and schedule a fire-hardening assessment online. One can also consult the Resource Conservation District of the Santa Monica Mountains, rcdsmm.org, and register with that organization for a home ignition zone evaluation.
Residents required to step up, get involved, and volunteer
All those presenting information concerning the various efforts that Corral Canyon residents exert to ensure the canyon neighborhoods are as prepared as possible for fires, and who diligently provide critically-needed responses during Red Flag Days and wildfires, had one central message: Volunteers are needed for all of the programs.
Simply stated, private citizens need to step up to ensure that the canyon best defends itself in disasters. Breese, Rubenacker, and Young noted that volunteers are needed to apply for grants and to support CCFSA overall.
Resources concerning getting involved
“We are always looking for volunteers for Arson Watch and the brigade,” Bigelow said. “Please go to arsonwatch.com to find out more about the program and how to apply.” The Los Angeles Emergency Preparedness Foundation oversees the community brigade program and is also seeking volunteers, he noted.
For more information concerning fire-hardening a home or other structure, go to FireSafeCouncil.org. To join Arson Watch, go to arsonwatch.com.
Boys volleyball team advances to semifinals for the first time, eyes CIF championship run
The Malibu High boys volleyball team advanced to the semifinals of their two-day Varsity Shark Attack Tournament for the first time in the event’s six-year history.
The Sharks won four games in the 10-team tournament hosted in the Malibu High gym each year.
The team went 3-0 in pool play and advanced to the Feb. 28 to March 1 tournament semifinals, where they fell to San Marino, who wound up as the tournament’s champion. Malibu recorded victories over Brentwood, Centennial, Golden Valley, and Village Christian in the tournament.
Malibu’s 6-foot-5 outside hitter Martin Kuriel, a sophomore, was named to the all-tournament team.
Sharks head coach Derek Saenz said a tournament title would have been nice; however, he wants MHS focused on its long-term goal of contending for a CIF championship.
“We are really talented,” he explained. “It depends on how hard we work and how consistent we are. We have so much depth. In the past, we’ve had great players, but this year every position is filled, and we have backups to every position, and we have some size.”
The Sharks finished last season with a 23-13 overall record and advanced to the semifinals of the CIF Southern Section Boys Volleyball Division VI Championship. The squad also went 10-0 en route to winning the Citrus Coast League crown.
The Sharks entered their game against Santa Monica on Monday with an 8-6 record. MHS began its 2025 campaign with three straight losses before reeling off six consecutive wins. Two of those victories — both 3-0 sweeps — were over Oaks Christian and Oak Pak, two teams who bullied the Sharks on the court in the past, said Saenz, while noting Kuriel and junior outside hitter Keegan Cross, Malibu’s 6-foot-1 captain, played great in the matches.
The victories — 25-13, 25-18, 25-19 over Oaks Christian and 25-20, 25-24, 25-22 over Oak Park — featured Malibu players constantly rising above the net for thunderous kills and blocks.
However, Saenz said the Sharks, a team composed of mostly sophomores and juniors with no 12th-graders, being athletically skilled doesn’t guarantee championship contention.
“I’m asking them to grow up fast and do something most people don’t do,” he explained. “It’s not, ‘I can jump high; I’m fast; and I’m strong.’ Anybody can do that. It’s a matter of: What is your mentality? How do you handle adversity? What kind of person are you to the people around you? Those things are more of a dying art. We have talent. If we can achieve making the people around us better, the sky is the limit with this crew.”
Malibu hosted Carpinteria on Tuesday. They play at Nordoff in Ojai on Thursday. The Sharks host Hueneme on March 18 and play at Channel Islands in Oxnard on March 25. All those teams are Citrus Coast League opponents.
The Sharks went undefeated in the league a season ago. Malibu, Saenz said, wants to win the league title again this season.
“We didn’t drop a set last year,” he recalled.
The coach wants the MHS team to play with a sense of urgency toward contending for a CIF title, also.
“My job is to get them to buy into this year and not wait until next year because we have no seniors,” Saenz said. “We need to do it now. Not next year.”
