at the ringing of the 5 O’clock
bell,” said Sean.
“I can’t wait to play a bigger
stage,” he said then.
According to Chad Bierman,
“Catalina had my spirits lifted.
The rays of sun shining over the
hills of Catalina. All the people
. living their best life. It was feeling
of belonging,” said Chad.
While the Bierman Brothers
know the magic of performing on
Catalina, having done so now for a
decade or so, their appearance on
the Wrigley Stage Aug. 19 marks
for them a long progression of per-
formance on Island.
“We have always loved
Catalina,” says Sean, who believes
they will one day end up coming to
Catalina not only to perform, but
to write music as well.
The Brothers and their band will
play a two-hour concert at 4 pm.
on the Wrigley Stage, according to
Sean Bierman. They are supported
by the Mars Generation, includ-
ing Alyssa Carson, the astronaut
trainee who is visiting Catalina
Aug. 18 and 19.
The Bierman Brothers have
written an original song entitled
“One Way Ticket to Mars,” which
has yet to be released to the public.
The Biermans say they will per-
form the song in honor of Carson’s
visit during the live concert sched—
uled from 4-6 pm. on the Wrigley
Stage and again, later that same day
during Carson’s appearance at the
Ackerman Family Amphitheater
at the Catalina Island Museum at
8 pm
In addition, the Bierman
Brothers say they expect inter-
national recording artist Gustavo
Alarco to make a special guest
appearance on stage with them
during their Catalina performance.
Alarco, a Latin recording artist,
has recently released “Game of
Love and Hate” with Quiet Riot
guitarist Carlos Cavazo, will per-
form a few songs during the show,
the Biermans said.
“We’re excited about being on
the big stage in Catalina,” said
Sean, and “we look forward to see-
ing our friends in Catalina.”
According to Chad, it’s going
to be a great event. “As always in
Catalina, it’s going to be a rocking
time,” said Chad.

The percentages he gave
appeared to be informal esti-
mates. Baker said the city was
still processing checks as they
came in.
“We’re still cautiously optimis-
tic about the summer,” Baker
said.
“We’re waiting for cruise ships
to return to the harbor,” Baker
said.
(Cruise ship visits to Avalon
were part of the local economy
until the pandemic hit in 2020.)
Baker said the city is also
watching COVID developments.
According to Baker, the last
few months have been positive.
Baker expressed the opinion
that the city will have to draw
some money from reserves, but
he expected the draw on reserves
to be less than previously expect—
ed.
Baker said he was planning a
more detailed report for a future
City Council meeting.

doing 3 or 4 knots. He jumped
into the water.
Witnesses videotaped

pulled Cameron up.
In the video, Cameron said
that Flickinger retired a couple
of days later.
“He’s completed a perfect
career,” Cameron said.
