intense weather put a minimal damper on local wildfire danger, which was an unfair trade-off. Westward Beach Road was closed

City Council ‘Reorganizes’ with Mayoral Gavel Transfer
Ceremonial Exchange Brings Visibility to the Council Member with the Title of Mayor
T
he mayoral title rotated in
traditional fashion when
the outgoing mayor, Ken
Kearsley this week turned over
the gavel for the largely ceremonial position to the incoming
mayor, Jeff Jennings.
Jennings, who has served on
the council for 12 years, took
over the top post for the third and
final time when the Malibu City
Council met for its reorganization
meeting. Jennings is serving the
last year of his term and will be
forced out by the voter-enacted
term limits.
Kearsley, who will also be
termed out, made outgoing remarks saying he did not want to
talk about himself, but wanted to
direct attention to the council and
what it had accomplished in the
last year.
The outgoing mayor boasted
the council had spent upwards of
$10 million for public works
projects in which 96 percent of
the project costs were paid for
from grants obtained by the municipality.
Kearsley claimed that no other
city had accomplished such a
feat. He praised the staff, including Grants Coordinator Barbara
Cameron and City Manager Jim
Thorsen, for helping undertake
such a feat. “Prior to this council
there had been very little paid for
in grants,” he said.
The outgoing mayor also
claimed that just one employee
separated from Malibu during the
past year, reversing what had
been year after year of staff
turnover. “They now want to stay
here. We heard all the rhetoric
during the past campaign [about
staff turnover]. It is not true,” he
said. “They want to stay because
of the council.”
Kearsley did not say what
caused the reversal from when
“...the rhetoricccc
[about staff
turnover] is not
true. They want
”
to stay...
the current council had to replace
the city manager, several department heads including public
works and parks and recreation
and other top posts and several
planners.
The outgoing mayor ticked off
a list of accomplishments and
acquisitions, including three new
parks: Las Flores, Trancas and
Legacy parks. He described the
Civic Center park as the “showpiece for everybody in Los
Angeles.”
“People can come and look at
it. It is our number one priority,”

he added, saying that all of this
had been accomplished and the
council still managed to grow a
reserve fund of $14 million.“That
is an amazing figure for this
city.”
Kearsley also talked about how
the council had brought back
City Attorney Christi Hogin in a
successful effort to reduce the litigation of the city.
“There were 17 active cases in
November 2001. We now have
four active lawsuits. This council
decided to get out of the litigation
business,” he added.
The outgoing mayor did not
reveal if the litigation costs were
also lowered. The current council
voted for extensive and expensive litigation against the California Coastal Commission,
which after a lengthy courtroom
battle, beat back the city’s challenge of the hotly contested

Stormwater Facility Gets a Test Run during the Rain
System Is Operational and Appears to Be Accomplishing What It Is Supposed to Be Doing
T
he late rains of April
have given Malibu city
officials an opportunity
to assess the initial performance
of its stormwater treatment facility recently built in the Civic
Center near Cross Creek Road
and Civic Center Way.
“It actually has been operating.
It is treating water on a daily
basis,” said deputy city engineer
Claudio Sanchez, who said there
has been no problems since the
facility began operating at the
beginning of March.
The municipal spokesperson
said the small plant is processing
about 30,000 gallons per day.
Sanchez said the light rains
have allowed the plant to capture
all of the runoff and cleanse it
before it is released into the
creek. In the future the plant’s
discharge will be stored at
Legacy Park where it will be dis-
persed into the ground, according
to city officials.
There are three drains. The

point.
box culvert that can collect up to
10,000 gallons of runoff for processing while two smaller drains
at Malibu Road and Cross Creek
Road can collect up to 200 gallons, according to Sanchez.
The public works spokesperson noted that the city is currently in the process of starting up a
testing program to determine
how clean the water is after being
processed by the treatment facility. “There are no results at this
point,” he added.
The treatment facility provides
a three-step process for cleaning
the stormwater runoff. Firstly, it
screens the water for trash and
floatables, then the water is filtered to remove oils, greases and
sediments and then the water is
disinfected to remove bacteria.
The city is currently in the
process of an ambitious plan
wherein thousands of gallons of
stormwater could be stored at
Legacy Park for processing over
a period of time.
Planners held one of a series of
public meetings (see story on

“We never intended to collect

added.
It was David Resnick who
pointed out that the use of additional acres for subsurface
wellands are not amenable for
wastewater dispersal.
Yes, agreed the consultants.
Every acre used for subsurface
wetlands cannot be used for
wastewater dispersal. That creates
another engineering challenge and
leads to the limited ability to store
enough treated wastewater for
later reuse.

reorganization really
matter to most
of the citizens of
the City of Malibu?
PICKED BONE
Editor:
My name is Janis Reid, and I live in Agoura Hills.
After seeing an ad in “The Acorn” looking for Earth Day
volunteers for Saturday, April 21, I decided to do my part
and called to offer my help.
I arrived at the Malibu Lagoon area in the morning and
was put to work with another volunteer from Sherman Oaks.
The two of us were to weed out the overgrown divider area
just at the entrance to the parking lot.
About a half-an-hour into pulling these weeds, some of
which reached to the bowels of Hell, I started thinking...why,
out of all of these volunteers, is there not one citizen of Malibu helping?
There were about 30 other volunteers who were employees
of Sam’s Club and WalMart, and they came from Palmdale
These people were cleaning up the beach and surrounding
areas. Sheesh! While my weed partner and I were digging
and planting, we came upon an actual sprinkler system deep
beneath the dirt, which we cleaned off and made sure was
now above ground. I don’t think it works so our plants and
flowers may die for lack of water. Bummer.
I was also thinking....why, a city with such funds, would
not maintain these areas. I couldn’t believe the state of the
entrance and surrounding areas around the Lagoon. Perhaps
it’s up to the state to do this, but if it were my city I’d do
something about it.
A few women on their morning walks passed by without so
much as a “hello,” and one woman did thank us for what we
were doing. And not that I’m expecting thanks, I wanted to
do this, but where are the Malibuites???
Shame on them! While I know there are the Pierces and
Anthonys and Mels who do their part for their city, where are
the young Malibu residents? Buying cute little outfits for
their little dogs and enjoying their Starbucks? Come on!
Anyway, I had a bone to pick, and now I’m done.
Janis Reid,
Agoura Hills (and proud of it)
INCREDULITY
Editor:
Yes, I am getting older, and I thought my eyes were
deceiving me. Did Leslie Herold (Letters to the Editor.
April 19, 2007) actually write that he/she believes that if
someone is considered an illegal citizen, that they are more
prone to crime in our markets.
I had to read this three times to actually accept that
he/she was that brainwashed.

COMMUNICATION
Editor:
I had written the governor several times about BHP Billiton. Based on his latest canned response below, this project
definitely is not dead. The more we can keep up the pressure the better. I think the readers in Malibu need to be
aware of the governor’s feelings toward LNG on the whole.
I still hope he vetoes this project, but something is fishy
with this response. Someone at BHP is in tight with the governor.

Publisher’s NOTEBOOK
Getting It Right
T
he strategy didn’t work last year. California Senate
Bill 426 was allowed to die a merciless death,
which may say a lot about the kind of backroom
dealing that goes on in Sacramento. Some of the more
visible anti-Cabrillo Port critics weren’t ready to jump on
the legislative bandwagon against liquefied natural gas.
But that doesn’t mean that Senator Joe Simitian’s current
effort that predates the California State Lands and California Coastal commissions’ actions on CP will get more
respect this time around. On March 23, Simitian introduced a “spot bill” in the form of SB 412, which announced the intention of the Legislature to enact a law
addressing the siting and construction of LNG facilities
off California’s cost. As is the case with spot bills, specific provisions were added as the bill worked its way
through the legislative process. But the clear message of
the two agencies on Cabrillo Port may make a difference
in the wording of the new bill, barring backroom manipulation and the political expediency that is contingent on
what the governor is going to do by the conclusion of the
45-day deadline for his “decision” on CP. The first round
of provisions, read amendments, were added last Thursday, April 16. It sends a clear signal that, if SB 412
becomes law as it is, the LNG industry is going to have
to step up its already extensive lobbying efforts tenfold.
he linchpin of the proposal is that the State Energy
Resources Conservation and Development Commission be mandated to “make a liquefied national
gas needs assessment study that assesses demand and
supply for natural gas and alternatives to natural gas to
meet energy demands, and to determine the need for the
state’s projected natural gas demand” that would be started no later than Jan. 1, 2008, and finished no later than
Nov. 1, 2008. The study would be financed by fees from
permit applications for LNG terminals. The bill would
prohibit the commission from issuing a certificate to an
applicant that does not update information to a matrix
system at least once a month. The bill would require the
governor to disapprove any application unless it meets all
the requirements established by SB 412 (to be known as
T
the LNG Terminal Evaluation Act). More public agencies would be drawn into the decision-making process,
including the California Public Utilities Commission, the
Coastal Commission, State Air Resources Board, State
Water Resources Control Board and the Department of
Fish and Game. Federal agencies with evaluative roles
include the Office of Homeland Security, Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission, the Department of Defense
(and all of the Armed Services), as well as the U.S. Coast
Guard. This sounds formidable because the process is
supposed to be formidable. Whether Simitian’s colleagues are courageous enough to follow his lead is yet to
be determined. Whether SB 412 will undergo major revision is the other key variable in the equation.

“BB,” which was voted on
and passed last year.
The committee will
consist of 11 to 15 members and parents, and
community members are
encouraged to apply.
The application deadline
is May 31 and the appointment will be made in June.
Applications may be obtained from the district
website at www.smmusd.org or from the Superintendent’s office at 1651 16th

WildRescue Launches Emergency Hotline
WildRescue, a nonprofit
wildlife organization based
in Malibu, has launched a
state-of-the-art emergency
hotline designed to help people who find injured animals.
Based on the caller’s
area code, the toll-free hotline 866-WILD-911, will
provide the number to the
nearest rescue organization
or wildlife rehabilitator that
specializes in the type of
animal found.The hotline,
which serves Los Angeles,
Ventura and Santa Barbara
counties, offers informative
tutorials that guide the
users on how to help the
animals while staying safe.
The system was designed
by Malibuite and WildRes-
cue founder Rebecca
Dmytryk, who hopes to
eventually provide service
to all of California, but in
the meantime, is focusing
on securing money for the
hotline’s first two years.

The outgoing mayor also
contended that the morale of
the citizens has changed for
the better and that civility is
the key word of the council.
“In other cities it is like open
warfare,” a dded Kearsley,
referring to man y other
municipalities where the
opposing elements to the
reigning power structure still
take on the status quo. Malib u’s opposing elements
have either been co-opted or
nearly gone underground.
Kearsle y concluded by
praising his wife for “being
the den mother” of Malibu.
“She is the cheerleader,” he
added.
Jennings seemed to
acknowledge that the outgoing mayor had somewhat
stolen his thunder saying,
“Ken said a lot of what I was
going to say.”
Despite his previous experience in the role as mayor,
Jennings said the post still
presented challenges. “You
are the public face or voice
of the city. You must represent the feelings and voice
of the city and carry out that
role,” he said.
(Continued from page 2)
The incoming mayor said
the biggest change he has
seen on the council during
his tenure is what he called
the di vision of labor. He
contended when the city was
young it was more difficult
for council members to
“...Ken said a“
lot of what
I was going
”to say...”
work together. He said that
has changed dramatically
and pointed out how various
parings of council members
had produced results as each
member spearheaded their
own causes. “It is that kind
of thing working together
and taking on our own projects,” he said.
Jennings also said he now
realizes that go v e rnment
does seem to mo v e at a
slower pace than he anticipated. “The last time I was
mayor, f i v e years ago, I
said things were just breaking. I thought that was the
next year. But now thing are
really breaking,” the incoming mayor noted, saying that
the city was making strides
in changing the actual
physical landscape of the
municipality, r eferring to
the acquisition of parklands
including Legacy Park and
the old Malibu lumber yard
site and ho w that will
change Malibu. “Things are
being built. There is a physical change in the city,” he
said.
Jennings offered up a list
of pending legislation from
a proposed view protection
ordinance to formula retail
law. It will be very interesting. There is a lot going on
next year,” he said and concluded by praising the staff
asserting things are moving
much more smoothly than in
earlier years.

VOCIFEROUSNESS
Editor:
How much crap do we have to put up with? Perhaps as
a part time resident of Malibu( I have a house up Corral
canyon that I stay in about 8 months out of the year) I am
somehow out of touch with what is considered appropriate in this town. I don’t wish to take attention away from
American Idol, the Anna Nicole Smith saga or Don Imus
but I find it beyond absurd and offensive that your paper
can allow the Zuma general Store to continue to perpetrate their stupid and pointless ads featuring this Milton
Stubbs person, who may not even exist! And now, they
state that he’s having a book signing! I’m so glad that
they can actually profit from this tasteless and unethical
behavior!
The last time this person was trotted out in ads that you
published, it apparently caused quite a bit of upset and
confusion and now, with your aid, they’re at it again. I
suppose this is their way of bringing attention to themselves. How pathetic can they get? You’d think they
would have been humbled since they had to move into a
smaller store. Your only possible alibi in this caper is that
you’re being paid by them for their ads. As my name suggests, I have a heritage I am proud of in this region and I
am deeply offended that you continue to allow this sad little store to continue spreading this nonsense around in the
name of advertising. Why don’t you guys wise up and
realize that most people in this community are tired of
having their chains yanked.
I will be there for the book signing so I can get an inperson encounter with this alleged author. Will I actually
go so far as to buy his book? Maybe, but it is doubtful
given all of the more important articles and books that
abound that deserve to be read. I am sure this book they
are hawking will attract those with tastes that lean toward
the sensational and who will want to “scoop” the real
story of this real or imagined individual. I thought you
had higher standards but I guess not.

needs of our people and our economy. And as California
continues to lead the nation in efforts to reduce greenhouse
gas emissions, guaranteeing a steady source of clean-burning fuel takes on even greater importance.
However, at the present time, I am still reviewing the
details of this proposal and have not yet taken a position on
the BHP Billiton project at Oxnard or on any LNG project.
My office, pursuant to federal law, is using the allotted 45day review period to make sure that the project meets strict
standards of public and environmental safety. As you may
know, I have the authority to approve, approve with conditions or veto the proposed project. It would be inappropriate
for me to take a position on any application before the
review process is complete, but I do believe that liquefied
natural gas should be a part of California’s energy portfolio.
I approach my decision-making role in this process very
seriously, and I am carefully considering both sides of the
issue. Please know that I will keep your thoughts on this

Sources cited at the time
of the Enzo crash indicated
that former Swedish video
game executive Bo Stefan
Eriksson, 45, since adjudicated to be the driver of
the totalled super-car and
sentenced to three years jail
time for grand theft charges
related to the crash, supposedly brought video
monitoring skills to the
organization.
A major unanswered
piece of the crash scene
puzzle concerns the identity of the individuals who
apparently facilitated Eriksson’s departure from the
accident scene without his
being arrested, or even
booked, as it appears that
the SGVTA’s five board
members were issued
police badges.
Among the issues that
may come to light in next

for creating quasi-law enforcement agencies such as

Chumash Day Keeps Traditions Alive
ANCIENT HERITAGE—The ninth annual Chumash Day Powwow and Inter-tribal Gathering
took place at Bluffs Park last weekend, and over
3000 people attended the two-day celebration
despite the rain on Sunday afternoon. Pictured,
clockwise from top left, spectators sit on hay
bales anticipating a performance; Saginaw Grant,
the Head Gourd, leads the Gourd Dancers at the
opening ceremony, just before the grand entry—

Sheriff’s REPORT
CLIPPED COUCH
Lost Hills Sheriff’s deputies were called to a mid-Malibu
residence after receiving a call that a $250 sofa had been
stolen between 5 and 10 p.m. The victim pointed out fresh
pry marks on the doorjam and a full handprint on the glass
to the deputy on the scene. He was positive that the print
belonged to the suspect since the door had just been painted
and the contractor had cleaned the glass after the paining
and prior to the burglary. The victim further stated that he
had been a victim of a burglary a few years prior where the
method of entry was identical and that along with many
valuables, several items of clothing were taken. A print
technician was called to the scene.
CORRAL CAR CAPERS
On April 13, between 11:45 a.m. and 12:30 p.m., three automobiles that were parked in Corral Canyon were burglarized
while the owners went hiking. In each instance, the suspect
gained entry to the locked automobiles by smashing a window.
The officers did not request fingerprint deputies “due to the fact
that the thief most likely smashed the windows and removed the
items without touching the vehicles. There are no security cameras in the area and no witnesses to the incidents.

A car parked on Pacific Coast Highway was burglarized
on April 14 between 8 and 9 a.m. and more than $800 in
items were stolen. Entry was gained by smashing the left
front passenger window. The victim did not request a print
deputy because he did not want to wait...A locked car
parked on Broad Beach Road was burglarized on April 14,
between midnight and 8 a.m. The suspect gained access by
smashing a window with an unknown object, then taking a
black bag containing real estate files. The victim later
recovered the bag on Pacific Coast Highway...A “No Trespassing” sign was stolen from a mid-Malibu RV park
between 10 p.m., April 15 and 6 a.m., April 16. There were
no witnesses to the theft, but the deputy on the scene
believes the sign was taken by local paparazzi who had
been at the location for several days...A $500 woman’s
purse was stolen from a mid-Malibu nightclub when she
left it on a table while she was dancing.

Part-Time Malibuite Indicted for
Violating Drug and Sex Laws
Lowell Thomas Lakin, 66, who owns
homes in Malibu and
Key West and is described as a prominent
attorney in the Midwest,
was indicted on seven
charges, including two
counts of maintaining a
place for the purpose of
distributing cocaine,
two counts of distributing cocaine to a person
under age 21, one count
of distributing cocaine,
one count of transportation of a minor in interstate commerce with
intent to engage in sexual activity (a crime
under California law)
and one of forfeiture,
according to a press
release issued the U.S.
Attorney’s Office in the
Southern District of Illinois.
Evidence for the indictment was gathered
in an investigation conducted by the Federal
Bureau of Investigation
and the Illinois State
Police, according to the
press release.
According to a media
report, Lakin pleaded
not guilty to the charges
in federal court on Monday and could go free
on a $250,000 bond.
Lakin will be electronically monitored and can
travel to his homes in
Malibu and Key West as
well as the metropolitan
area in St. Louis. Lakin
was in Key West when
he surrendered to authorities.
It is alleged that Lakin
transported an underage
youth from Madison
County to Malibu with
the intent to engage in
sexual activity.
Under state law, Lakin
could be sent to prison
for life and pay a
$250,000 fine. Under
federal law, depending
on the various counts, if
he is convicted, he
could be put behind bars
for up to 100 years and
subject to over $2.25
million, according to
the U.S. Attorney’s
Office.

A Non-Review of a Book or a Review of a Non-Book?
■ Another Example of Non-Traditional Marketing in the Local Marketplace
How is the reviewer best
equipped to critique a book
that calls itself “a short
autobiographical novel”?
What do you call a selfdescribed work of fiction
that comes with a research
and reference source bibliography with such titles as:
“Malibu Is My Town and
Your Town Unless I
Moved Here First.”
How do you describe a
project that is written by a
fictional author named
Milton Stubbs, who writes
in the disclaimer that “all
characters are fictional or
actual, but, if fictional, no
intentional likeness to a
real person, living or dead,
is intended.”
The answer is clearly
tongue in cheek. The real
or imagined Stubbs will be
signing the 88-page tome
called “In the Middle of
It,” at Zuma Beach General
Store on Sunday, May 6
from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
The book describes the
real/fictional Stubbs as a
man who lived in Iowa at
one time, moved around
the country, and ended up
in Malibu, where his exploits became the fodder
for his first writing assignment—a far cry from his
days as the owner of a
small chain of tire stores.
The book, an account of
his life after arriving in the
coastal enclave, continues
with his “notorious exploits
in Malibu,” including criminal activity, his subsequent
apprehension, his repentance, and devotion to
redeeming himself in the
eyes of the general store
owners, who were the fictional victims of Stubbs’
misdeeds.
For those of you who
have not caught on to the
gag, Stubbs became the
presumed owner of the
general store but didn’t
have the cash to buy it. He
writes that the alleged
swindle fell into his lap
with no true evil intentions
on his behalf.
“The only part that was
flimflam was the part
about how I was gonna
actually buy the place, but
Brian didn’t know at the
time and for that matter, I
didn’t know it either
because I had convinced
myself I was gonna pull
this off like reaching up
and picking a ripe peach
off a tree.”
Stubbs also claims he
didn’t realize the power of
the local press or how a
small town can claim its
denizens. “As soon as my
picture appeared in the
local paper, then, boom!
People started recognizing
me like I was some kind of
celebrity. People in small
towns are the same and it
don’t really matter if
you’re from California or
Montana or Iowa. They all
feel sorta like family. They
feel that because you’re all
together in the same small
space, you have this automatic right to know stuff
about one another. That’s
not bad. Of course, it ain’t
all good either.”
Stubbs goes on to recall
in detail how he faked his
death in the Pacific Ocean
by staging a kayak accident
and promptly split town
ending up days later on the
other side of the continent
in Key West, Florida.
Stubbs said only later did
he learn what havoc the
news of his alleged fatality
caused. The subsequent
fake obituary in the local
paper even caused a stir.
Stubbs does not mention it.
The author does somewhat confess his sins,
“I have to admit,
I’m not all
that charged
nnn up on it.
”
though he tends to downplay the results. “Now, you
gotta know that this was a
bad thing I did, and it was a
crime on top of that, but it
wasn’t exactly a Hannibal
Lecter or O.J. type of thing.
I mean, it was bad and I
don’t want to try to back
away from admitting or
knowing that, but on a scale
of one to ten this was no
ten.”
However, that does not
mean the long arm of the
law did not catch up with
him. Stubbs recounts his
days in jail and subsequent
court appearances, but he is
barely out of trouble before
he becomes involved what
turns into an international
incident—his account of a
wild ride in a red sports
car.
Stubbs’ version does
clear up what many still
consider a mystery to this
day. “I heard later, that [the
guy] and his friend had figured out I lifted the [car]
and came after me. I
crashed maybe two blocks
above where they were, so
it didn’t take them much
time to make it up the highway. Some guy gave them a
lift. So anyway, there they
are standing in front of this
rumpled up mess of car and
along come the Sheriff and
starts asking questions. He
told the police that some
[other] guy was driving the
car, but they didn’t believe
him since it was his car he
was standin’ there, so one
thing led to another and this
guy ended up in court
being charged with all kinds
a things.”
The back-story that plays
throughout the book is
Stubbs’ flagging relationship with his wife Miriam,
who is also betrayed by
Stubbs’ antics in Malibu.
The relationship fails for the
obvious reasons and at the
end it is only through
Stubbs’ new found purpose
in life—the creation of art
both through his drawings
and the book—that he is
able to mend things with his
wife and go on with life.
Stubbs acknowledges,
though, he is not too keen
on the upcoming book
signing and display of his
artwork, but grudgingly
admits all of it may be for a
purpose.
“I have to admit, I’m not
all that charged up on it.
I’m not particularly happy
about sittin there like some
kinda display, meetin’ peo-
ple and talkin’ to them
about all of this stuff.
Leave me out of it. So here
I go, I suppose I really
don’t know how many
folks are gonna want to
read 88 pages of my wayward ways and silly stuff
and my repentance. I figure anybody who gets all
the way through it saw
something in there that
was talkin’ about them,
’cause they saw themselves in the story, and
maybe that’ll do them
some kinda good.”

The Aquarium AGE
The Week of April 26–May 2, 2007
Regular routines fall apart this week,
and as “things” crumble, people succumb to the stress of shift. Anticipate
family and friends, as well as acquaintances, personal or professional, to
show the wear and tear of psychic tension. Ragged nerves could lead to
emotional meltdowns. And while
these episodes may seem to erupt out
of nowhere, they may actually be the
result of collective post-traumatic stress disorder. So many of
Earth’s inhabitants are so overwhelmed by the presence of so
much violence, we may have reached a peculiar type of critical mass where even those not directly exposed to a direct
threat are deteriorating from the strain of an already overloaded atmosphere. Fortunately, not everyone is decompensating, and fortunately again, planetary patterns also support
the sort of altruistic idealism that inspires helping those in
need. Where you can, offer a kind word or soothing touch.
The epicenter of this week’s intensity is a Mars/Uranus conjunction. Notorious for its volatility, this conjunction agitates
nervous systems and inclines attitudes toward belligerence.
Of course, that swagger is likely to be a defense mechanism.
And while false bravado won’t necessarily quell a frightened
spirit, a preemptive posture can often provide an effective

while Jupiter is fundamentally benign, its tendency toward
excess could further excite the already explosive nature of the
Mars/Uranus conjunction. Don’t be surprised if you or those
close to you have a short fuse or jump to conclusions before
you’ve presented all the facts. Venus provides a complex
remedy to the intensity. First, Venus squares the
Mars/Uranus conjunction, stimulating the physical senses,
especially erotic arousal, but also stimulating artistic inspiration. Next, Venus opposes Jupiter, a position known to foster
melodrama, but also famous for its desire for harmony.
Third—and the one I’m puttin’ my money on to soothe the
volatility—Venus sextiles Saturn, a positive alliance containing the potential to cool the air and settle the atmosphere. Saturn abhors volatility, and because Saturn also trines Jupiter,
this entire Venus/Jupiter/Saturn bundle has capacity to move
intentions out of the purely personal and into a broader, more
expansive perspective capable of unselfish concern for the
welfare of others. Venus is, after all, the goddess of values, as
well as love. And when she sets her sights on a higher love,
we mere mortals experience genuine concern for our fellow
travelers. This week, whether you fall apart or hold it together, take a moment to contemplate the complexity of life on
earth. Yes, suffering is omnipresent, but so is love—we just
have to reach for it.
If you know your ascendant and/or your moon sign, read that too.

APRIL 26 • 2007
Aries (March 21-April 19): Conversations with partners and
friends about what matters most will help you to sort through
the tension and work through the strain. Not every word will be
a revelation, but the company of peers will restore your spirit.
Taurus (April 20-May 20): Yes, it is about finances, but it is
also about having the self-confidence and self-esteem to move
forward despite what appear to be obstacles. You don’t have
to tackle everything at once. Prioritize your goals and you’ll
make steady, tangible progress.
Gemini (May 21-June 21): There is no reason to doubt yourself, especially if you combine your natural charm with your
gift of gab. Simply be yourself and you’ll find a win/win
solution for an otherwise difficult set of circumstances.
Cancer (June 22-July 22): Despite any evidence to the contrary, you’re able to assume a positive mindset, which means
your capacity to create a beneficial outcome is expanded.
Remember, whatever we focus our attention on becomes our
reality.
Leo (July 23-August 22): It’s another week of contemplation, but this week the emphasis is on community, and how
you can be of greater service to the planet. You don’t have to
have a personal green revolution; committing to small but
meaningful choices will make a difference.
Virgo (August 23-September 22): Concentrate on your most
important ideals and how you can integrate those values into
all aspects of your life, and you will sidestep the intensity
traps of the week. Here’s some help: if kindness is something
you admire, make it a point to be kind to everyone you
encounter.
Libra (September 23-October 22): It’s never easy to walk
your talk, especially when you’re not clear about what that
talk really is. Rather than deny your uncertainty, embrace it.
You may be uncomfortable without a definite belief system,
but you’ll be supported by your authenticity.
Scorpio (October 23-November 21): Opposing points of
view can be problematic, especially if you’re invested in a
specific outcome. But if you let go and allow the situation to
unfold with its own momentum, you’ll be more than pleased
with the results.
Sagittarius (November 22-December 21): It isn’t possible to
have all the answers all the time. So for now, allow yourself
to relax in the presence of others—friends, family, co-workers, pets, or plants—and to allow those relationships to
restore your perspective.
Capricorn (December 22-January 19): The focus is still on
service and how you can be of service to yourself, but not in
an egocentric way. Rather, the emphasis is on discovering
what will make your heart sing, and then sharing that joy
with others.
Aquarius (January 20-February 18): Creativity is the solution
to any obstacles you encounter. So if others start to grouse,
figure out how to transform those groans into positive action.
If you stay focused on joy, so will the ones you love.
Pisces (February 19-March 20): While I know you can’t just
stop going to work, don’t push yourself too hard. Put your
need for quiet at the top of the list and then honor that priority as best you can.

Two Young Entrepreneurs Imbue Their Fashion with ‘Style’
PROUD POSE—Asher Ross, Adrienne Janic, the
actress and host of TLC’s “Overhaulin,” and Kurtis
Major, showing off their hand-made shirt designs.
F
or Asher Ross and
Kurtis Major, their
work day starts by
checking the surf.
If it’s good, they’ll
be riding waves “until they
can’t move”—all the while
being inspired to create the
next design. This is precisely what motivated
them to start their clothing
company, Culture and Propaganda. As the third generation of their families to
grow up in Malibu, they
say it is impossible to live
here and not be influenced
by its natural environment.
So whether they are surfing, fishing or enjoying the
sunset or sunrise, they are
working, absorbing their
past, present and the
beauty that surrounds
them as those before them
have done.
“All our family and
friends live in Malibu,”
Ross says. “Our families
lived here when it was just
the sticks.” “A cowboy
town,” Major interjects.
“When you are from Malibu, it is in your blood,”
Ross continued. “It also
means you are a little crazy
from birth,” Ross laughs.
“Because coming from a
small town….” Major adds.
“That we can come from a
GOAL—Gilbert Montoya, professional soccer player and actor, the star of this summer’s film “Futbal”
with Asher Ross and Kurtis Major
Photos/Alex Prins
place so incredibly beautiful is amazing—your
imagination just opens up,”
Ross concludes.
Ross and Major have
known each other since
childhood and, in high
school, persuaded their
art teacher to teach them
printmaking. She agreed,
as long as they worked
hard and started with the
basics, which they did.
They learned silk-screening, stamping, everything
they needed to add another
dimension to their art work.
They would spend hours
drawing and painting (which
they still do), trading sketch
books. Taking up where the
other left off.
They knew they wanted
to print their art on shirts,
which to them was the
same as printing on canvas
or wood, “Just another
way to express our artistic
values,” Ross says. “Except now, it’s kind of cool
to have art you can wear.”
They knew they had to
have a great name to sell
clothes. They already had
the Propaganda part of it
down, but needed another
element. In 2004, while sitting in Major’s kitchen
drawing and “yelling at
each other,” as they say,
someone threw the word
Culture into the mix and it
all made sense. Culture and
Propaganda was officially
born.
To truly make it a reflection of their life and their
art, every design is handmade in a collaborative
effort. The purpose of their
work is manifested in a
fictional character they
have created named Clyde
Jackson who they say is a
legend. “Clyde is basically the embodiment of
what Kurtis and I do. He
represents Malibu and the
shared nature of our
work,” Ross says. “I couldn’t agree with you more,”
Major adds. “Clyde’s essentially the embodiment of
Malibu, with no limit to its
content and no limit to its
colors.” “It’s our emotional
expression put out there.”
Culture and Propaganda
now sells more than 20
products, consisting of
short-sleeve and longsleeve t-shirts, sweatshirts,
and tank tops for men and
women made in downtown
LA in super-durable and
ultra-comfortable material
printed in a variety of colors
with designs named “PR
Shark,” “Cry Baby,” “Fun
Lover,” and “Sad Eyes.”
They say it takes about
300 hours of work to come
up with an agreed-upon
design, since out of a 200page sketch book covered
in artwork, they may only
glean two or three designs.
But all of their efforts are
paying off.
While their clothing is
not yet widely distributed,
this summer Ross and
Major will unveil a number
of new stores, as well as a
variety of product placement in films that can not
yet be revealed because of
contractual obligations.
“Put it this way, this summer, the A-list of the A-list
will be wearing Culture
and Propaganda.”
They have already received impressive acclaim
for a young company run
by young men, having
been featured in a number
of media outlets including
Fashion TV and People
magazine. They also participated in a 2007 Oscar
suite party hosted by actor
Mark Wahlberg, and collaborated with local Malibu band Simon Dawes to
design a t-shirt sold at
Simon Dawes concerts. On
May 3, Culture and Propaganda will be featured in
the “30 Under 30” awards
celebration hosted by
Entertainment Tonight,
where LA’s hippest and
hottest actors, musicians
and entrepreneurs are
honored.
Ross, 21, and Major, 20,
say all of this recognition
is incredible for simply
doing what they love to do.
It is almost grounding,
they say, to be recognized
for their hard work and
honesty, and for being
themselves.
They both agree that they
couldn’t have made it anywhere without the tremendous help and support from
their families, friends, and
business mentors who have
provided the encouragement,
knowledge and guidance to
help them move forward.
Their next goal, they say, is
to one day soon wake up
and be dressed head to toe
in Culture and Propaganda
clothing.
Next to everything being
designed by hand, their
number one requirement for
their shirts is that they are
made from durable material
that is ultra comfortable.

FOR TOM... LIFE Animal Rescue. 818-707-2007
Tom was a terrified, neglected mess of a
poodle caged at the overrun shelter. He
never had love or attention and was very
afraid of people. He is all cleaned up now
with a cute new haircut. He is a gorgeous
two-year-old but he does not do well at
adoption events. He fears anyone who
comes to admire him might be trying to
take him away from the only home he
knows. In short, if someone doesn’t help,
Tom will be doomed to be forever boarded.
Please be that special person who sees
past his shyness and into his loving heart.
E-mail Chela at 77dognights@sbcglobal.net
