Vote would be advisory
By Charles M. Kelly
The Avalon City Council this week approved two cannabis-related questions that will appear on the March 2020 election bal-lot.
The questions are “adviso-ry vote only,” ballot measures, meaning the results are not legal-ly binding on the council.
The council also approve a resolution setting deadlines for submitting arguments and rebut-tles to arguments for and against the questions.

Wrigley descen-dants and John Davidson make for entertaining evening
By DaviD N. youNg
With a nearly full moon illumi-nating Avalon Bay on a spectacu-lar fall evening, entertainer John Davidson serenaded a crowd that included three great-granddaugh-ters of William Wrigley, Jr. as “Moonlight over Bellissimo” raised money to continue the restoration of the historic Chimes Tower.
The distinctive chimes have greeted Catalina residents and visitors since 1925, when William Wrigley Jr. and his wife Ada Elizabeth Wrigley purchased the Westminster chimes from Chicago’s J.C. Deagan Company.
Soon thereafter, the Wrigleys had the distinctive Spanish-style tower built as their permanent home. Only half of the 440 chimes ever produced by the Deagan Company are still in operation today.
“We are making a lot of prog-ress,” said Wrigley descendant Alison Wrigley Rusack, as she opened the evening’s fundraiser. Also, she provided attendees a brief
report on the continuing efforts to restore the Chimes towers and fulfill Ada’s dream of having the chimes greet visitors into perpetu-ity.
“We are now in the very expen-sive phase,” said Rusack, “strength-ening the walls of the tower and restoring them. “I won’t get into all the details but trust me, we are
working hard.” Rusack even noted the unex-
pected complications of removing a “very large hive of bees” from the tower before the restoration work could begin.
She thanked board members Gina Long and Katherine Stevens for their work organizing the event, Kristan Metcalf for her media work
and Billy Delbert for arranging for John Davidson as the evening’s entertainment.
“My wife Anni Marshall and I truly love this community,” said Delbert. He noted that Davidson’s return to Catalina is always ironic in that he credits the entertainer for his marriage to Marshall, Avalon’s

mayor. Delbert, who has an entertainment
background, said he met Marshall when he worked for Davidson when they came to Catalina in the 1970’s to host Davidson’s Singer’s Summer Camp.
Delbert said he and Davidson remained good friends even after he married Marshall and moved to Avalon.
Davidson was then one of the top singers in the country, packing top venues and later leveraging his popularity to host tv shows such as “Hollywood Squares”, “That’s Incredible” and guest hosting for Johnny Carson on “The Tonight
Show”. “Please welcome my good friend
John Davidson,” said Delbert, as Davidson took the stage, accompa-nied only by his acoustic guitar.
“This island has meant so much to me down through my life,” said Davidson, who stood on an ele-vated stage overlooking Avalon Bay. “I started coming here when I lived in Hollywood,” said a wistful Davidson, who seamlessly wove a treasure trove of show business sto-ries, popular songs and humor into a unique entertainment experience for the crowd.
Pointing out into the moonlit night, Davidson recalled having his own yacht anchored in the bay, and also recalling the time he “teased a poor buffalo” and ended up in the Avalon hospital for three days.
Davidson said he first fell in love with Catalina Island more than 40 years ago when he hosted a “Singer’s Summer Camp” in Toyon Bay dur-ing the summers of 1978 and 1979. Davidson brought top singers such as Kenny Rogers, Lionel Ritchie and Florence Henderson to the island to act as coaches for the hundreds of singers who attended the camps.
Last year, he returned to the island with more than 40 of the sing-ers who first attended the camps and later enjoyed very rewarding show business careers.
“Can you believe it,” said Davidson, “I am 77 years old. I am older than I have ever been in my life,” he said. He told the audience about coming out to California “as a preacher’s kid” and remembers meeting Richard Pryor and George Carlin during his first gig. “They were smoking something I had never seen before. I came from a VERY conservative background,”
he said.“It was sickening how clean cut I
was,” he joked. “The older I get, however, the
more confused I am,” he added, saying that the more he learns, the most questions he has about life. “I’m still trying to figure out what I want for the last part of my life. Maybe I’ll live in Avalon (see relat-ed story above).” Davidson sang for more than an hour, including a mix of original songs like “I’m in My 70’s” and popular favorites like “Green, Green Grass of Home” and “Country Roads.”
In fact, Davidson confided with the audience that he often returns to a small, three-acre parcel in the Northeast near where he grew up, just to wander around. “Maybe I’m trying to find that little Johnny Davidson… to see if I could even
talk to him…and if he would he even like what’s become of me.”
Following the performance, Davidson and Geoff Rusack did a back-and-forth routine through the rest of the evening as they mastered a Japanese style auction to raise funds for the tower.
In fact, Rusack informed the crowd that during the period when Davidson was hosting “The Tonight Show,” he was a page at NBC, the network that aired the show. “I ush-ered in people to see you,” said Rusack.
“Thanks,” said Davidson. Davidson even agreed to cook
scrambled eggs for one bidder that made it a condition to bid $10,000 to add new lighting to Chimes Tower. Rusack said they needed this amount to restore the lighting that once adorned the “tippy top” of the Chimes Tower. Davidson said he would cook eggs for the bidder.
The Moonlight over Bellissimo Committee had no immediate esti-mate of the amount raised but partic-ipants lingered long after the event

One in every two individuals in the U.S. born today will face a cancer diagnosis at some point in their lifetime. Think about the number of individuals that will inevitably face this life-altering event. Our current cancer landscape is confus-ing, and many patients do not know where to begin, let alone know what resources are available to them.
Are You Prepared For Cancer?
One out of seven cancers are misdiagnosed, resulting in lost time, less effec-tive treatment, wasted spend and reduced survival. Advanced DNA Testing can increase the accuracy of diagnosis, highlight more effective treatment options, and increase survival and longevity. Unfortunately, many patients do not receive access to Advanced DNA Testing or support services due to limitations that fall under most health insurance plans.
Testimonial“Everyone I have dealt with at Cancer Guardian has provided empathy and much needed support during my journey after having been diagnosed with my illness.
Their care and concern shines through in all that they have provided...from allowing you to talk through your emotions, providing resources so I learn more about my rare illness, calling weekly to see how I am doing, if I am staying on track with goals, providing direction when I am lost, to being by my side physically when visiting my doctor.
I am extremely grateful and comforted to have them on my team as they also bring a calmness among the roller coaster of emotions during this time.”
– Arlene Shutt, Cancer Guardian Member
Americans born today now have a 50% chance of developing cancer in their lifetime.1

Advanced DNA Testing
The Cancer Guardian suite of services is changing the way we approach Cancer. Initial genetic testing empowers individuals to identify their genetic risk for cancer and take prevention measures. If cancer is ever diagnosed, our dedicated cancer support services are available to help during treatment. Cancer Guardian also provides Advanced DNA Testing of the tumor that may enhance chances of survival. The genetic testing and services offered by Cancer Guardian are not typically made available in the standard of care nor reimbursed by most health insurance plans.References: 1. www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4453943/ | 2. www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/09/180921113441.htm Sponsored Content

Will entertainer John Davidson retire to Catalina Island? No one can be sure, but it sure was on the entertainer’s mind during his evening performance Oct. 12. However, it apparently stayed on his mind because he began telling friends on the morning after that he wanted to return next sum-mer. As he and his wife Rhonda roamed the streets of Avalon, Davidson said, “I am thinking seriously of moving to Avalon next summer to become a street per-former.” After making it clear the night before how much he loved the island, Davidson said he wants to become a minstrel, troubadour, or someone who simply sings on street corners or in particular spots of the city to interact with resi-dents and visitors. Davidson, who once commanded top stages in the U.S, says at this point in his life, it is just an idea, but something he thinks he may want to do.

The “advisory vote” cannabis questions will ask:
• “Should the City of Avalon expand its current commercial cannabis ordinance from medical delivery only to allow for adult use/recreational delivery sales within the City of Avalon city limits?”
• “Should the City of Avalon expand its current commercial cannabis ordinance to allow for a cannabis business storefront location or dispensary within the City of Avalon city limits?”
City Attorney Scott Campbell said staff would bring an ord-nance back to the council based on the results of the advisory
vote.Mayor Anni Marshall
expressed concern about the lan-guage of the questions. “I think it’s too wordy.”
However, Council Member Cinde MacGugan-Cassidy was fine with the questions as pro-posed.
Marshall asked for public input before proceeding to the vote.
Rhonda Kalish said, “I’m real-ly glad we have time to inform our community about what we’re about to step into, especiall with the FDA and the surgeon general coming forth with some of the hazards of vaping and TCH.”No one else spoke.
Technically, the council approved three resolutions in a single vote. In addition to set-ting deadlines for arguments and approving the ballot questions, the council also approved a res-olution consolidating the city’s election with the statewide pri-mary on March 3.
