After a ip- op on downsizing retail sta at Aviator Nation it appears the trendy clothing company has slashed its workforce at some brick and mortar locations, including Malibu.

e company that bills itself as a “1970’s inspired California lifestyle brand” is known for its cozy sweatshirts and sweatpants embla-

zoned with rainbow stripes, lightning bolts, tiger stripes or smiley faces and for its catchphrase “Pray for Surf.” e clothes aren’t inexpensive with a matching sweatsuit totaling more than $300 or outerwear jackets topping $800. Aviator Nation and its founder Paige Mycoskie have twice been featured in Forbes magazine this month, most recently last Friday. Forbes has reported Mycoskie as one of the richest self-made women in the U.S. with an estimated worth of $380 million. She owns nine homes, including one in Malibu.

A Malibu lmmaker is about to unveil his latest project: not a movie, but a statue of the rst American woman in space, Sally Ride. The larger-than-life monument will debut July 4 during a huge celebration at the Reagan Library in Simi Valley.

Steven C. Barber, a Malibu resident for 22 years, is a successful documentarian focusing on World War II. “My moniker is ‘noble lmmaker’, travelling the world telling great American stories,” Barber stated. He “fell into the monument world” ve years ago when a space documentary fell through. With some spare time to think on a bike ride he said he had an epiphany about building monuments. “Nobody had ever done it and the timing was good,” the 62-year-old explained.

It was 2018 when he took his idea to NASA to build a monument honoring the crew of Apollo 11 in celebration of the 50th anniversary of the trailblazing moon landing. Barber conceived and commissioned a 1,400-lb., 12-foot gold and bronze monument to Neil Armstrong, Michael Collins, and Buzz Aldrin, a friend of Barber. It was Barber who raised $750,000 for its construction. e magni cent sculpture sits at the

Kennedy Space Center where it’s viewed by 20,000 people daily.

Barber raised money again to have a monument built commemorating the crew of Apollo 13. That spectacular artwork features the three brave astronauts who faced a near-fatal power loss that threatened their safe return. Barber called it a tribute to “fearlessness and a quest for adventure. Apollo 13, known as a successful failure brought the entire world together in prayer directed at the spacecraft to bring

these three legendary astronauts home. e world has never gotten together like that before or since.”

at monument sits at the Houston Space Center.

When Barber realized there were no monuments celebrating the more than 70 female astronauts he said, “Sally Ride made the most sense because she was the rst American woman in space.”

Lagoon restoration meeting

What to do with the Topanga Ranch Motel an important concern at the meeting

Dear Editor, Richard Sol’s letter in the June 15 Malibu Times prompted me to provide a little history on the issue of the California Regional Water Quality Control Board’s (CRWQCB) 2009 declaration that septic systems in Serra Retreat and the Colony were the cause of high fecal indicator bacteria (FIB) levels in the Malibu Lagoon. I was on the City Council at that time and read a publication from the U.S. Geological Survey, California Water Science Center (USGS) about the sources of FIB in the Santa Barbara urban streams and ocean. The city contacted the principal author, John Izbicki, and suggested that a similar study in the near shore of the Colony and the Lagoon might be of interest to USGS and would help the city in dealing with the anti-septic regulators, like the CRWQCB. That extensive study was undertaken in 2009 in a collaboration between USGS and the city and the results were published in 2011 by the USGS.

Orchestra of lawyers ‘appeal’ with a message of hope LA Lawyers Philharmonic charms audience ‘bar’ none at Disney Hall on Saturday

analyses showed that the water samples taken in the monitoring wells had varying amounts of water that could have only come from septic system, as the water characteristics are different for water from the public supply versus from groundwater. The conclusion is pretty clear that water from septic systems is entering the lagoon and near ocean, but the human fecal matter is not. Well-regulated septic systems work!

There is an inherent belief by many environmental regulators and government agencies that central sewage treatment systems are the only alternative for wastewater treatment. This 2009 study shows that septic systems were not the cause of excessive FIBs in the Lagoon, yet the CRWQCB ignored this independent research effort and has continued to enforce Resolution R4-2009-007 stating that septic systems in Malibu Civic Center fail to meet water quality objectives. This conclusion flies in the face of good science and perpetuates a prohibition that has no sound scientific basis.

This year, the 2023 summer solstice was on Wednesday, June 21, at precisely 10:57 a.m. Eastern Time. This astronomical event signaled the advent of the summer season in the Northern Hemisphere, bringing with it the longest day and the briefest night of the year. Almost as if in perfect sequence, we transition from this significant moment to commemorating our national independence on the Fourth of July.

Next Tuesday, July 4, be sure to attend the 22nd Annual Point Dume Parade, proudly hosted by the Point Dume Community Service District. The lineup will commence at 9:30 a.m. at the intersection of Bluewater Road and Birdview Avenue. Additional details can be found in our calendar. The day promises an enriching blend of community spirit, jubilation, and festivities. Please note that our offices will be closed for the holiday on Tuesday and scheduled to reopen on Wednesday at 10 a.m.

As we celebrate the Fourth of July, it also brings a deep moment for reflection and thanksgiving. Independence Day is a time when we reflect on the liberties that we, as a nation, have been fortunate to inherit. As we revel in fireworks, barbecue, and camaraderie, let us also pay tribute to the tireless commitment of small businesses, the strength of our local bonds, and the unyielding spirit of the free press that we have the privilege to create and distribute.

The inception of our nation was no small feat. The forefathers of the United States, among whom was the renowned Benjamin Franklin, faced insurmountable odds. They were intellectuals, farmers, musicians, merchants, and more, each signing the Declaration of Independence knowing full well the price of their defiance— death.

Benjamin Franklin, himself a printer, encapsulated this idea in his almanac with a quote urging us to “do something worth the writing.”

applicants as well as projected future tax revenues, BUT does Malibu really need this hotel and potential fire hazards, traffic, SMMC more control over Malibu, etc.?

Please consider the above before approving Amendment No. 16-006. Better to not approve! Thank you for your service to our community.

David M. Kramer, 35-year Malibu resident

He understood the gravity and the cost of such actions. Franklin’s wisdom and courage, along with the 55 other signers of the Declaration, paved the way for the life we now enjoy.

The principles inscribed in the Declaration of Independence serve as a bulwark against authoritarian tendencies. This resilient national spirit has been shaped by the trials and tribulations faced by our ancestors, including minor conflicts that eventually coalesced into the Revolutionary War. One such incident involved Benjamin Franklin, who intercepted and circulated letters from Massachusetts Governor Thomas Hutchinson advocating for the deployment of more British troops. His audacious act of defiance culminated in his involvement in the drafting of the Declaration of Independence.

As we celebrate this Fourth of July, let us remember that the concept of inalienable rights — life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness — was groundbreaking in its time and continues to shape the American ethos. The exercise of these rights does come with a cost, and each day presents us with choices that have far-reaching consequences.

In the current age, where social media amplifies every voice and debates about free speech continue, let us remember that our forefathers risked everything for the rights we often take for granted. They believed these rights were not granted by man but by the divine, forming a higher order of justice and law.

Thus, on Independence Day, we are not merely celebrating an event in the past but recognizing the present reality that these truths remain self-evident. We celebrate our shared responsibility to uphold these rights, acknowledging the costs that come with it. Let us strive, then, not just to write things worth reading but to do things worth writing about.

Warmest wishes for a joyful summer and a reflective Independence Day.

This study involved numerous monitor wells in the Colony, the Lagoon and farther up Malibu Creek. It was conducted over nearly a year, including both wet and dry seasons with hundreds of samples taken and analyzed. The techniques used were far more complete and extensive than any ever done by the government regulators. To summarize the methodology, genetic analyses were used to identify source of the FIB found in the lagoon, in the monitor wells, and in septic systems. While there were many samples with high FIB levels in the lagoon and the near shore at low tide and when the berm was breached, human-specific FIBs were not measurable, strongly suggesting that human fecal material was not present.

The USGS research team conducted additional chemical, radioisotope, hydrogen isotopes, and oxygen isotope analyses to identify the sources of the water in the samples they took. These

$800,000 from the SMMC Dear Editor,

Here is my letter to the Malibu City Council.

I am against the $800,000 that is to be received by the Santa Monica Mountain Conservancy (SMMC), i.e., Joe Edminston, via the California Coastal Commission. They should not be the master of these funds without the Malibu City Council’s approval of how they are used.

In particular, it should be stipulated in any agreement that funds should not be used for overnight camping in Ramirez Canyon, Bluff’s Park, or any other fire-danger area. Any such agreement should include how the project is managed by SMMC.

It is nice that Malibu could also be receiving $800,000 from

We look forward to seeing you.

Support for Swim Coach Erik Ran Dear Editor,

Our local swim team recently fired its coach Erik Ran. I understand that these things have many different perspectives, but I never see anybody mentioning what Erik Ran’s swimming history included. I swam with him

Next, a future coach learning most from his previous coaches, he was coached and taught by Peter Daland — one of the top swim coaches in the history of the sport and the man who coached Mark Spitz in 1972. The assistant coach at the time was Dave Salo, who also later took over USC and coached many, many Olympic athletes and at the Olympics.

And last, many of his former teammates are in the college and elite swimming community. For example, he was able to recruit Ray Looze, the national

team coach for the U.S., to become a member of the Malibu club team board; my honest guess is that the board fired him to avoid Erik recruiting and having more influence for the board. Ray Looze is head coach at Indiana Univerity. At least two other teammates coach elite college teams. The reason I mention this is that in swimming, these type of connections are essential if kids want to swim in college, which is often the best outcome for their swimming career.

Erik Ran was an elite college swimmer who was coached by the best coaches and he is still very connected to the elite level in swimming. He knows the sport and Malibu should be begging for him to remain their swim coach.

e City of Malibu reminds the community of rattlesnake season

As the warm weather returns, the City of Malibu reminds the community to be cautious while visiting city parks, trails, and playgrounds about rattlesnakes.

“When visiting City parks, it is important to be aware of your surroundings and treat every location as though a rattlesnake could be present,” the City of Malibu website says. “Please remember to stay on trails, keep your dog on a leash, and check playground areas before allowing children to use the equipment. Keep in mind that rattlesnakes do not always rattle before striking, so a visual check is needed to guarantee they are not present. If you see a rattlesnake, stay as far away as possible, report the sighting, and do not harm the snake.”

Rattlesnakes are native to Malibu and play an essential role in the ecosystem. ey control rodent populations which lower the spread of rodent-borne diseases like Lyme disease and reduces property damage caused by mice, rats, and ground squirrels. ey are cold-blooded, which means they cannot regulate their body temperature, and because of this, they are most active when the temperature is between 70-90 degrees Fahrenheit.

If a snake is in a high-tra c area and city sta are not present, call the Agoura Hills Animal Shelter at (818) 991-0071. Be prepared to report the snake’s location, size, and danger to the public.

Construction to begin on Malibu’s Tra c Signal Synchronization Project on PCH

Construction is expected to begin this month on the Paci c Coast Highway (PCH) Tra c Signal Synchronization Project, marking a major milestone in the city’s most signi cant measure to date to improve tra c safety and mobility on PCH.

PCH is one of California’s most scenic state highways, used by millions of visitors per year, but it is also Malibu’s Main Street. PCH safety

and mobility are one of the most important quality-of-life issues in our community.

According to the Sheri ’s Department, excessive speed is the most commonly cited tra c violation. Speeding and improper turns are the most common contributing factors to collisions, both of which will be directly addressed by the Traffic Signal Synchronization Project.

e project, which is estimated to take more than one year to complete, will install communication lines between the existing tra c signals on PCH from Topanga Canyon Boulevard to John Tyler Drive to synchronize the signals to existing tra c conditions.

e new tra c signals will be connected to the Caltrans Trafc Management Center, allowing Caltrans to operate the signals and the signal system remotely. New equipment will capture actual tra c data and send it to the tra c signal controllers. e system will contain state-of-the art software that can immediately adjust the tra c signal timing to actual tra c volume conditions, which will help alleviate congestion on PCH.

e city’s contractor will be using the city’s vacant parcel on Civic Center Way, PCH, and Webb Way for staging and storing vehicles and materials, employee and construction vehicle parking, and a temporary construction o ce. Using this area will make the project faster and more e cient, and reduce construction vehicle tra c on PCH and Malibu Canyon. Per the city’s requests, the contractor will install a temporary fence and screening, and has committed to keep the location clean during construction.

Accessory Dwelling Unit Ordinance Public Hearing on July 10

City of Malibu demonstrates e ective brush clearance techniques for re safety

As wild re season approaches, the City of Malibu is emphasizing the importance of consistent and thorough brush clearance to protect homes and slow the spread of res. e city’s re safety liaisons are currently conducting annual brush clearance on the slopes above City Hall and using the opportunity to create a demonstration plot showcasing e ective techniques.

e demonstration plot highlights how native and non-native vegetation can be blended to enhance slopes, making them re-safe during re season while providing excellent erosion control during the rainy season. e technique involves reducing the volume of vegetation, trimming the limbs of the lower one-third of shrubs, and cutting limbs from the bottom 6 feet of trees. A mosaic pattern is created, retaining some vegetation to prevent erosion and leaving gaps between bunches of vegetation to limit the spread of horizontal res.

Most Malibu residents will receive brush clearance notices from the Los Angeles County Fire

e business magazine’s most recent article reported on turmoil at storefront locations due to Mycoskie’s abrupt call for cuts to the retail sta even with growing sales numbers. After the call to downsize, managers at the brand’s 17 locations pushed back, arguing that the company needed adequate oor sta to accommodate customers. Employees complained of hearing the news while the 43-yearold Mycoskie was on vacation in Hawaii.

A company statement said the founder, who owns 100 percent of the company, would return early from her preplanned vacation after receiving a barrage of sta complaints about the proposed cutbacks.

On Friday, June 23, Forbes reported Aviation Nation’s founder walked back the proposed changes, saying they were “currently on hold while we review and address the team’s concerns.”

But that statement was contradicted by three recently terminated employees at the Malibu location. ey claim the local sta has been cut from roughly a dozen to only three. e former employees claim that in the time frame the pending layo s were reported by Forbes, they were red without just cause.

e three allege that they and four other coworkers were terminated for purported cause, rendering them ineligible for unemployment bene ts. e former employees who spoke with e Malibu Times said they were unfairly accused of fraud relating to the company’s customer rewards program that gives incentive points to returning customers. e former workers said management told them they had been “ red.” As to the fraud allegations, the three former Aviation Nation associates asserted that their actions were consistent with the training they had received from the company. “It seems they’re just trying to substantiate mass layo s,” one said. Forbes had already alerted the business community of impending layo s, further engendering skepticism among the former workers that their terminations were truly for cause.

e three former employees also alleged various business irregularities that they indicated they were uncomfortable witnessing but had no power to e ect change. All three told e Malibu Times they were

Permit (CDP) is needed. ere are two ways to proceed: Approve a CDP with variances or have a speci c plan for the site. According to Upton, CCC sta requested a speci c plan.

“ e challenge is we could have gotten a CDP with variances done a year ago,” said Upton, who agreed it was a complicated plan. “We’ve spent so much time and so much money because what that means is a speci c plan is actually an amendment to the LCP. To get that amendment, the Planning Department/Commission had to approve it. en the City Council, then the CCC has to approve it. en it has to go back to the City Council to nalize it before we can get the CDP.”

ere are three exemptions the CCC will consider on the MMHS project: building height, soil removal and the Environmentally Sensitive Habitat Area (ESHA).

“We’re building higher than what the LCP is because to build a high school it needs to accommodate chemistry labs and equipment,” Upton explained.

e ESHA issues include a stream that runs along the side of the campus. e school was originally built before ESHA rules were established. To accommodate, the plan calls for a renovated and revitalized ESHA.

“We would clean it up, make it useful, and make it as an educational program,” Upton stated.

“We are asking Coastal Commission to not grant a year to review,” Upton continued. “ ey’ve had this since October. We’re asking the CCC to ask sta to bring it to them within 60 days, put it on the September agenda.

“Paige is the sole owner, designer, CFO, CEO. She controls everything,” the employee said. “She took out a large dividend (reported to be $47.5 million in 2021) and then the company wasn’t meeting its sales goal. So, in response, she decided to make cuts in all the stores.”

Mycoskie has stated that most of Aviator Nation’s revenue comes from online sales and not brick and mortar stores.

e SMMUSD is asking for support with a letter-writing campaign. A statement to the community reads in part: “ is is a critical need for the campus and we are seeking parent, student and community voices so the Coastal Commission stops delaying this project, that the Malibu community supports. Your voice is needed to beseech the Coastal Commission to deny the sta request for an extension and to expedite the approval of the LCP Amendment within the next 60 days. Construction must begin early this fall to open in time for the 2025-26 school year.”

Even future students are asked to appeal to the CCC preferably in writing because “physical letters have a greater impact than emails,” according to SMMUSD’s statement.

e district suggests identifying if you’re a future student, taxpayer, or supporter and to use talking points. ese might include that students need a safe, e ective, and modern-learning environment for their academic growth and success, or that the 2024 deadline was missed impacting the 400 students who would have been in better learning facilities for the 2024-25 school year or that Malibu Park Middle School was constructed in the 1960s to be a middle school. e high school was added to the site in the 1990s, essentially being shoe-horned into the middle school campus. e high school students need a campus built for their scale and their needs, the district said.

For council updates, Mayor Pro Tem Steve Uhring commented on the Planning Commission meeting that occurred on July 19, where Commissioner Skylar Peak was voted as chair and Commissioner John Mazza as vice chair.

“In the last Planning Commission meeting, John Mazza, who was then the vice chair, was scheduled to be the chair of the Planning Commission. In a vote led by [Commissioner] Je Jennings, John was denied that position of chair,” Uhring said. “John has been volunteering his time and energy in Malibu for over 25 years, he’s been a Planning Commissioner since the early 2000’s, ... so I guess my point is: is gentleman has a major portion of his life trying to make Malibu better, and I can’t think of anything that he’s ever done which has been in opposition of our general plan or done to do any damage to anyone here in Malibu.”

Barber recounted his wife had told him, “Sometimes success sneaks through the backdoor disguised as failure.” He said the day his documentary fell through turned out to be “the best day of my life.” He was surprised these monuments hadn’t been built for these heroes before and was proudly happy to make it happen.

Barber uses his filmmaking skills to produce monuments he’s passionate about.

“ ere’s a million guys who are producers, but there’s only one guy making monuments to our greatest explorers and scientists and that’s me,” he said. “And the nice thing about a monument is, right now, there are thousands of people looking at them — at the Houston and Kennedy Space Centers and at the Cradle of Aviation Museum. ey’re taking pictures and sel es.

“Four-and-a-half million people a year see my monuments. ere’s something about a monument that’s more enriching. I love all my movies, but once the movie is made, people forget about it. A monument is seen 365 days a year. ese things will be here a thousand years from now.”

“I think you deserve better — this is not what you elected us to do,” Uhring said. “I think we have a responsibility to act like adults as we go through this, and focus not on ourselves but what’s going to make Malibu the city the best.”

e council moved on to item 3B5, Commission Work Assignments for Fiscal Year 2023-24.

Two members of the public spoke, asking to reinstate the telecommunications commission and SMC antenna tower.

“I understand that telecom is both a necessity, as well as a convenience, but there’s a line which after it crosses necessity and convenience, so they’ll have to examine that question as well,” Mayor Bruce Silverstein said.

Council approved 3B12, Award Agreement Wireless Communication Facility Application Review Services. e Professional Services Agreement with Center for Municipal Solutions (CMS) for Wireless Permit (WP) and Wireless Right-of-Way Permit (WRP) application review services for a period of ve years.

e council moved on to B16, the Broad Beach Geological Hazard Abatement District (BBGHAD), and Public Works Director Rob DeBoux provided the sta report.

For decades, various portions of Broad Beach were subjected to beach erosion and emergency repairs. In response to this, the property owners on Broad Beach approached the city to form a Geologic Hazard Abatement District for the purpose of constructing protective measures and to restore the beach area. e proposed measures included beach nourishment and rehabilitation of the dunes with associated vegetation and habitat.

e project would create an approximate 65- to 75-foot wide dry sand beach and

is will be the second Sally Ride piece Barber has commissioned. e rst stands at the Cradle of Aviation Museum in New York. e latest Sally Ride monument is in California to celebrate the 40th anniversary of her rst mission. Since Ronald Reagan was president during Ride’s pioneering missions that landed at nearby Edwards Air Force Base and the rst person to speak with Ride and the crew upon their return, Barber asked o cals at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library if they were interested in showcasing the monument. Library o cials enthusiastically responded.

“She was this all-encompassing powerhouse and Reagan liked her,” Barber commented.

e Sally Ride monument will be unveiled at noon outside of the Reagan Library in Simi Valley on July 4 during the library’s popular Independence Day celebration. You may want to arrive early because the patriotic celebration is typically crowded with thousands of visitors for music, presidential look-a-likes, and more. All activities outside the library are free. Regular admission rates apply to tour inside. Ride’s mother and other family members are expected to attend. “It’s going to be exciting,” Barber said.

Barber’s upcoming works celebrate diversity in space with monuments planned for Dr. Ellen Ochoa, the rst Hispanic woman in space, and Guy Bluford, the rst African American in space. Plus, he’s shooting a documentary about Ride.

40- to 60-foot wide restored dune area. e district would fund these improvements along with future beach sand replenishment.

On June 6, 2011, a petition for the formation of the BBGHAD was submitted by Kenneth Ehrlich, on behalf of the Trancas Property Owners Association (TPOA).

According to the report, the BBGHAD has obtained permits and entitlements for the project from the California Coastal Commission, State Lands Commission, Army Corps of Engineers, Regional Water Quality Control Board, Los Angeles County, and Caltrans. e representatives from the BBGHAD have been coordinating the project with the city and addressing any concerns regarding the project, including the tra c impacts.

Since this date, the BBGHAD has spent more than $23 million on project studies and permitting. Project funding is obtained by special assessments from the 128 property owners within the BBGHAD boundaries. Future funding for the sand nourishment, monitoring, and studies will be obtained by a special assessment placed on the 128 property owners. Members of the public and the Malibu West Homeowners Association spoke opposing the project.

“ is is broken, this is not working, we don’t see it going anywhere, and we would really like to see a vote,” Mike Pierson said.

e district may dissolve by a unanimous vote of the Board of Directors of the district or by a vote of the property owners within the district. e property owner vote must result in over 50 percent of the assessed value of the properties within the district to dissolve it.

“I understand that we don’t have that

legal authority to compel you to have that vote, and I would also understand why you wouldn’t want to have that vote, if you’re not required to, but I think it would be a great sign of good faith, and would put a lot of the public objection that we’re hearing repeatedly addressed,” Silverstein said.

No motion was needed, and the council received the report.

e council approved the Proposed Budget for Fiscal Year 2023-24. e Proposed Budget totals $81.8 million in revenue and $93.2 million in expenses and includes General Fund annual revenue of $57.0 million and General Fund program expenditures of $58.2 million.

e overall budget includes nearly $11.7 million in one-time General Fund capital project expenditures from accumulated committed fund balances. is includes $8.6 million in General Fund committed fund balances for capital and $2.8 million for Disaster-related capital.

Silverstein mentioned the recent Juneteenth holiday and asked, since the city did not honor the holiday this year, if they should consider adding it to the budget for next year.

City Clerk Kelsey Pettijohn said the holidays are recognized in e Malibu Municipal Code and said they could adopt an ordinance to include Juneteenth.

e council approved the Collection of Fees for the Implementation of the California Integrated Waste Management Act within the Malibu Garbage Disposal District.

e last item on the agenda was item 4.C, the consideration of Local Coastal Program Amendment No. 16-006 (Sea View Hotel Project).

Members of the public spoke in support of the project.

“It’s time. I think Norm [Haynie] has

done what he can, I don’t have all the details like the other speakers, but I’m speaking from my heart and as a local businessman,” said speaker Je erson “Zuma Jay” Wagner. “I’ve been in business in Malibu, it’ll be 50 years this July, and I think it’ll help bene t some of the small mom and pops shops in that area.” Silverstein motioned to ask for an extension. He did not receive a second. “ at’ll put us in the same place in April, without the crunch that we were put in the last couple weeks. is project is not shovel ready,” Silverstein said. “Further time to work this out isn’t going to delay this project getting started.”

Councilmember Paul Grisanti motioned to vote for the recommended action: 1) an ordinance of the City of Malibu amending Local Coastal Program Amendment (LCPA) No. 16-006 as adopted by Ordinance No. 491 pursuant to the conditional certi cation action taken by the California Coastal Commission (CCC) on Feb. 8, 2023, 2) Direct sta to schedule a second reading and adoption of Ordinance No. 508 for the July 10, 2023, Regular City Council meeting, and 3) Direct sta to notify the CCC when the LCPA has been adopted.

“I’d like us to consider what we will be spending the money on that we get,” Grisanti said.

Councilmember Doug Stewart seconded the motion.

“Norm has done what we asked him to do and I don’t think we can ask him for any more,” Stewart said.

Councilmember Marianne Riggins said she was disappointed on how the project was brought to the council.

After discussion, the council approved the project 4-1.

e next City Council meeting is scheduled for July 10.

Billy Gale — the best kept secret in country music

MALIBU SEEN

By Benjamin Marcus, Entertainment Editor

Victoria M worked at Neptune’s Net in the 1990s and has known Billy Gale all that time. She pointed him in this direction for a chat.

Billy Gale’s a good country name. Stage name? Nope.

What about surf?

I started sur ng when I was 6 years old. I started sur ng Malibu with all the boys: Johnny Fain, Lance Carson, Miki Dora, and all those guys. I was the little guy in their way. Dora hated me and dropped in on me all the time. Actually I dropped in on him a couple of times. at’s where he learned the Miki Dora shove I think.

When did the music start?

I started playing guitar when I was 6.

Half the top 10 country songs in 1956 were by Elvis Presley. Can’t imagine why anyone would be inuenced by all that.

Wasn’t Elvis for me at rst. It was Nelson Eddy and Jeanette McDonald. First album was Bill Haley and the Comets — “Rock Around the Clock.” Also Louis Prima and Keely Smith — one of

the greatest jazz singers ever. So you were there on the cusp of jazz and rock and roll.

I guess it really started in 1969, when I signed with Cli y Stone at Capitol Records. Wrote songs for Anne Murray, Cher, Bobby Wayne, Dorsey Burnette. A couple of mishaps. Dorsey passed away early. I almost wrote for e Everly Brothers but Don Everly couldn’t get out of bed. So we blew that o . I wrote a song for Ricky Nelson, after “Garden Party,” but his plane crashed before he could record it. at’s kind of how things went.

I just wrote songs and recorded them and handed them into Cli y Stone and went to the beach. I didn’t like the star trip. Egos and everyone believing their own press.

Chris the Tree Guy remembers you from e Old Place. How far back does that go?

A long way. About early ‘70s, me and a bunch of the boys lived across the street in the Turquoise House.

Doctor John the Night Tripper?

Yeah. Nick Nolte would show up and hang out. We had an eternal bon re in the front yard and an eternal keg of beer. Bob the Cop would come by on his motorcycle and yell “Hide your shit, I’m coming in!”

I played the Old Place four nights a week for about four years. A lot of fun. Steve McQueen and Ali MacGraw would show up. Jason Robards would come by for the poker games in the back room.

I met Michael Preiss there. He was on the Board of Directors of the Malibu Stage Company with Rod Steiger’s wife — I forgot her name.

Steiger was married ve times. Probably would have been Sherry Nelson from 1973-79.

Michael Preiss arranged for me to play some shows at the Stage Company. e only music event ever done there. Now it is the Malibu Playhouse, owned by the guy from Coldplay, I think. A beautiful 99-seat theater. One of the best rooms in Malibu. I wish he would do some shows there.

I’ve often wondered why Malibu doesn’t have more of a music scene, considering everyone from Bob Dylan to Pat Benatar to Beck live here. When did Malibu have a good music scene?

Burt’s Eye View: Lawrence Welk and his (not so) nal show

PERSPECTIVE

By Burt Ross, Contributed Column

Ok, I got you thinking now. Why in heaven’s name, you might ask, am I writing about Lawrence Welk, who died in 1992. I was no more a fan of his than I was an avid reader of Reader’s Digest. (I think both appealed to a similar audience). I, for one, never listened for more than a minute to his television show, which aired for over 30 years. For reasons I will never comprehend, millions of people loved Welk, the musician, accordionist, and bandleader.

When I did watch his show for a minute, I saw singers with pasted-on smiles, all of whom looked like they had never had sex. Polkas were popular on Welk’s show, and those oompahs were equally unbearable. It’s hard to believe that the Beatles and Welk’s ensemble coexisted on Planet Earth. And now we come to the point of this column, because it is supposed to be a humor column, and one doesn’t normally think of Lawrence Welk when seeking humor. One time when I was ipping the channels, (I might possibly be the most pro cient

ipper known to mankind), I thought I heard Welk ask the audience to tune in later in the month for his last appearance. Curiosity might have killed the cat, but in this instance, it almost killed me, also. I was so curious as to what his last show might be like after 30 years, that I committed myself to watching it from beginning to end. e following week I tuned in to see what I assumed would prove a momentous occasion. What was strange was nothing seemed to be out of the ordinary — the same vacuous songs and dancing. I weathered it all waiting for something remotely personal, but no, it was simply 60 minutes of torture. Finally, the moment of truth arrived, and Lawrence Welk took the microphone in his hand, and without a note of emotion, simply said, “I hope to see you all next week for my special nal show.” I could not believe my ears. I had tuned in one week too early. And if you are asking whether I actually watched his nal show the following week, the answer is an emphatic, “Hell no!”

I met Waylon when I was at Lorimar Telepictures, scoring a documentary on Ernest Hemingway with Margaux Hemingway.

So you’re telling me you scored with Margaux Hemingway?

Well ... she almost ruined my marriage. She was a beautiful person, such a tragic loss. Waylon cut “As Far As the Eye Can See” for the title track to the movie. We became friends and hung out at some of e Highwaymen gigs.
